Wondering how to feed your family better while also saving money at the grocery store? Skip the store and start making your favorite pantry basics from scratch. Here's 11 real food versions of pantry staples like ketchup, mayonnaise, coconut milk, bread, crackers and more that you can stop buying and start making.
While making your own ketchup may seem daunting, it's actually relatively easy (there's about 5 minutes to mix and up to 5 days to ferment). Ketchup, like many other condiments, finds its roots in the dark and bubbly past of fermentation. It wasn't the last few hundred years that ketchup that home cooks skipped fermentation in favor of vinegar and water-bath canning. Further, in that time, ketchup also lost some of its unique flavor profiles. Where it was once flavored by spices like clove and allspice, it mellowed into a puree of tomato, vinegar, salt and corn syrup.
What you need: Tomato paste, unrefined sea salt, vinegar, raw honey or other sweetener and organic spices like allspice and cloves (I typically by them in bulk online). As this ketchup is fermented, you'll also benefit from using a starter culture like fresh whey though the brine from fermented vegetables, beet kvass or a purchased starter culture (find them here) will work just as well.
I also typically use a special fermenting crock when preparing condiments like ketchup. It's a simple glass jar fitted with an airlock and you can find them online; however, a mason jar will work fine but is more likely to develop a film of mold at the surface of the ketchup.
Recipes to Get Started: My basic spiced ketchup recipe includes both honey and apple cider vinegar. Those new to fermentation often wonder if the antimicrobial properties of vinegar and honey impair fermentation, and the answer is that they don't – at least in the minute quantities called for. If spiced ketchup doesn't appeal to you, there's also several other ketchup recipes included in Get Cultured! and in Nourished Kitchen Meal Plans.
Coconut Milk
Organic coconut milk can be super expensive, plus you have to either contend with cans (that often contain the endocrine-disrupting chemical BPA) or cartons of refrigerated coconut milk which are likewise loaded with synthetic vitamins, emulsifiers and additives. You can make your own from fresh or dry coconut in just a few minutes, and it tastes so much better.
What you need: Fresh coconut or dessicated coconut (get it in bulk here) and water. You'll also need a blender. While a basic blender works fine, if you're preparing coconut milk often, you might consider a high-powered blender.
Recipes to Get Started: Basic Coconut Milk from Fresh Coconuts, Coconut Milk from Dry Coconut.
There's a distinct pleasure that comes from making your own bread – the feeling of the dough on the palms of your hands as you knead a wet mass of flour and water into a manageable loaf, the comforting perfume a loaf of just out of the oven. While sourdough bread offers benefits far beyond that of the regular, whole-grain variety, a loaf of artisan-quality sourdough bread can set you back $6 to $7, but you can make it at home for about $0.65.
What you need: A good loaf of bread requires nothing but flour (I typically use high extraction einkorn flour but bread flour and sprouted flour also work), unrefined sea salt and a source of yeast. This yeast might be packaged baker's yeast you find in the grocery store, but a natural sourdough starter will offer a more complex flavor coupled with greater health benefits.
Recipes to Get Started: No-knead sourdough (but do note that if you endeavor to make it, you must also use my recipe for sourdough starter or your hydration levels will be off). Classic sourdough rye bread, Milk and honey bread with sprouted wheat. For those who are gluten-free or grain-free, you might try this coconut flour bread.
Making crackers is one of my favorite activities. Though it's a bit more labor intensive than the other foods included in this list, the buttery goodness of a fresh cracker still warm from the oven is an unparalleled joy. Many commercial crackers are dry, flavorless and even natural crackers can contain a slew of additives that are better left out. Plus, when you make crackers at home, you can flavor them as you like it: a bit of cinnamon and honey for a sweet cracker, dill and yogurt for a savory cracker.
What you need: To make crackers you need flour (sprouted flour if your crackers will not be soaked), salt and a source of good-quality fat like olive oil, coconut oil, butter or ghee (and if you're not sure which is best, read my take on healthy fats). You also need a rolling pin to roll your crackers very thin so they're flaky and not tough, as well as a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the crackers. A good quality baking stone is also helpful.
Recipes to Get Started: Yogurt and Spelt Crackers, or even these easy grain-free crackers if you're on GAPSTM.
Salad Dressing
Sally Fallon Morell, author of the landmark book Nourishing Traditions and the founding president of the Weston A Price Foundation, cites making your own salad dressing as one of the most effective first steps you can take toward a healthier diet. It's no wonder why, most store-bought salad dressings (even organic salad dressings) are loaded with unhealthy fats and additives. Plus making your own is incredibly easy – usually taking only about five minutes.
What you need: Unrefined extra virgin olive oil, cold-pressed nut oils and vinegar or citrus juice can make a super simple dressing, but you can also add onion, shallot, garlic, herbs and enrichments like tahini, egg yolks, buttermilk, miso or homemade yogurt. Whisk these together and store in the fridge or on the kitchen counter if it's a simple vinaigrette.
Recipes to Get Started: Super basic vinaigrette, honey mustard dressing or homemade ranch dressing. You will also find loads of basic salad dressings in Nourished Kitchen meal plans – roasted shallot dressing, fig and honey dressing, roasted tomato dressing, caesar and more.
Similar to salad dressing, most store-bought mayonnaises are prepared using vegetable oils which have a high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio and whose fragile polyusaturated fatty acids do not stand up well to the modern high-heat extraction process required to make them. For this reason, it's wise make your own – and it comes together almost instantly.
What you need: I typically make my mayonnaise with olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, egg yolks and a pinch of salt. If you're making a fermented mayonnaise, you'll need to add a starter such as fresh whey, the brine of fermented vegetables or a purchased starter. If you don't care for the strong flavor of a pure olive oil mayonnaise, you might try a combination of olive oil, bacon fat or coconut oil (get some here).
Recipes to Get Started: Try wasabi mayonnaise or cultured mayonnaise, and if you're still stumped, check out these video recipes from Mommypotamus and the Real Food Forager.
Broth and Stock
As long-time readers know, I'm a big advocate for homemade broths and stocks. Bone broths support the adrenals, bones and teeth. They also provide your body with easy-to-assimilate minerals and amino acids, and even clinical studies support the healing power of old-fashioned broth. Further, broths and stocks are some of the most cost-saving foods you can prepare at home. Commercially prepared stocks at your local health foods store can cost upwards of $6/qt, but made at home they're almost free.
What you need: Bones, the frame of a roast chicken, a fresh chicken and water make the easiest stock. You might also add vinegar or wine to better extract minerals from the bones, or vegetables and herbs to flavor your stock. You'll also need a large stock pot or a slowcooker (if preparing perpetual soup).
Recipes to Get Started: Bone Broth from a Roast Chicken, Perpetual Soup: The Easiest Way to Make Bone Broth, Fresh Chicken Broth, Asian-style Chicken Foot Stock, Homemade Beef Stock.
As with ketchup, traditionally pickles were prepared through fermentation and it is only when water-bath canning took hold as a food preservation method that home cooks began to favor vinegar pickles rather than pickles that acquired their sourness through fermentation. Fortunately, making pickles is relatively easy.
What you need: At its most basic, a fermented pickle requires little more than cucumbers, salt, water and time. You might also add pickling spices, garlic, horseradish, hot peppers or dill to the mix. Some cooks prefer to add a starter culture to their pickles, but it is not typically necessary.
Recipes to Get Started: This is my standby recipe for sour pickles.
Yogurt and Kefir
Yogurt and kefir are easy to make at home, requiring only a few minutes of mixing (some heating in the case of yogurt) and up to 24 hours to culture. As a result you can prepare yogurt at home and save about $4 to $5 / quart over purchasing store-bought varieties. Moreover, many store-bought yogurts are made with low-fat or skim milk and, to make up for the lack of texture and flavor provided by wholesome fat, manufacturer's substitute additives to give the illusion of a real yogurt. Make it at home and you can skip the additives, and mix in the flavors that suit you.
What you need: To make yogurt at home you simply need milk and starter culture (which you can find here or at well-stocked health food stores), you'll also need something to keep the yogurt warm while it cultures. This can be a dehydrator, an oven with the pilot light on or a yogurt maker. To make kefir, you need milk and kefir grains (you can find them here) and a jar or bottle.
Recipes to Get Started: Matsoni (the easiest yogurt you'll make), Raw Milk Yogurt, Milk Kefir. If you're dairy-free, try this coconut milk yogurt.
Hot Sauce
My husband and son pour hot sauce over just about anything, but I prefer to make it at home. Hot sauce is a traditionally fermented food and many commercial hot sauces are still fermented before being mixed with vinegar and pasteurized. If you have a glut of hot peppers in your garden, take the time to make your own hot sauce (and hot chili paste).
What you need: At its most basic, a fermented hot sauce recipe requires little more than salt and hot peppers; however, I've had better success with recipes that also use a bit of starter culture to speed up fermentation, a bit of sugar to feed the microbes (this is metabolized by the bacteria and very little, if any is left in the final product), and a bit of garlic to deepen the flavor.
Recipes to Get Started: We make this fermented hot chili sauce quite often.

On certain occasions, when matters of a spiritual nature are under discussion, it is not uncommon to hear someone suggest that they adhere to, or someone they know adheres to, a religion that is "better felt than told." The thrust of such a statement, of course, is that it is not the teaching within the person's religion that is of ultimate importance, but instead the individual's personal feelings and emotional commitment.
While this sentiment may represent a correct assessment of the religion of some, it never has been true in regard to the biblical view of faith. This is not to imply, of course, that those who trust and obey God exhibit a faith that is void of emotion, or that somehow they are less committed to their belief system than adherents of other religions. Certainly, faith in the God of the Bible always has involved both personal feelings and emotional commitment (Matthew 22:37). To suggest otherwise would be to rob man of his free moral agency, his innate right to accept or reject heaven's gracious offer of salvation, and his ability to delight in having made the correct choice.
What sets biblical faith apart from the beliefs of some other religions, however, is that instead of being rooted solely in an appeal to the emotions, it is rooted in an appeal to both the emotions and the intellect. In other words, biblical faith addresses both the heart and the mind; it is not just felt, but learned as well. This always has been the case. From the moment of man's creation, God sought to teach him how to make correct choices that would keep him in, or return him to, a covenant relationship with his Creator. Thus, as soon as man was placed in the lovely Garden of Eden, God gave the instructions necessary for man's temporal and spiritual well-being (Genesis 1:28; 2:16-17). From that moment forward, God actively taught man how to build, and maintain, a proper relationship with his heavenly Father. This is evident within the pages of both the Old and New Testaments.
The Old Testament, for example, is filled with numerous instances of God's providing people with the instructions that would prompt them to serve Him with their hearts as well as with their intellects. During the Patriarchal Age, God spoke directly to the renowned men of old, and conveyed to them the commandments intended to regulate their daily lives, as well as their worship of Him. The apostle Paul, alluding to the Gentiles, spoke of those who had the law "written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing them" (Romans 2:15).
Later, during the Mosaical Age, God's instructions were given to the Hebrews in written form so that as they grew numerically, they also would possess the ability to grow spiritually. Jewish parents were instructed to teach God's Word to their children on a continuing basis (see Deuteronomy 4:10; 6:7-9; 11:18-25). Eventually, when national and spiritual reform was needed, God provided numerous kings and prophets to perform this important task (see 2 Kings 23:1-3; 2 Chronicles 7:7-9). It is said of the Old Testament prophet Ezra that he "had set his heart to seek the law of Jehovah, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances" (Ezra 7:10, emp. added). Nehemiah 8:7-8 records that Ezra "caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place, and they read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading" (emp. added).
It is clear from such passages that during Old Testament times God placed a premium on knowing, understanding, obeying, and teaching His commandments. The golden thread that runs from Genesis through Malachi—the urgent message that the Savior was coming—could not be expressed through emotion alone; the intellect had to be involved as well. It was not enough for God's people merely to "feel" the message; it had to be taught so they could understand it, realize its importance to their ultimate salvation, and preserve it for generations yet unborn, to whom it also would be taught.
Similarly, the New Testament stresses the critical nature of teaching. In the first century A.D., the message no longer was "the Savior is coming"; rather, the message was "the Savior has come." Once Jesus began His public ministry, teaching His disciples (and others whom He encountered on almost a daily basis) became His primary task. While it is true that today we look upon Him as a miracle-worker, prophet, and preacher, He was foremost a teacher. Throughout Galilee, Samaria and Judea, Jesus taught in synagogues, boats, temples, streets, marketplaces, and gardens. He taught on plains, trails, and mountainsides—wherever people were. And He taught as One possessing authority. After hearing His discourses, the only thing the people who heard Him could say was, "Never man so spake" (John 7:46).
The teaching did not stop when Christ returned to heaven. He had trained others—apostles and disciples—to continue the task He had begun. They were sent to the uttermost parts of the Earth with the mandate to proclaim the "good news" through preaching and teaching (Matthew 28:18-20). This they did daily (Acts 5:42). The result was additional disciples, who then were rooted and grounded in the fundamentals of God's Word (Acts 2:42) so they could teach others. In a single day, in a single city, over 3,000 people became Christians as a result of such teaching (Acts 2:41).
In fact, so effective was this kind of instruction that Christianity's bitterest enemies desperately tried to prohibit any further public teaching (Acts 4:18; 5:28), yet to no avail. Christianity's message, and the unwavering dedication of those into whose hands it had been placed, were too powerful for even its most formidable foes to abate or defeat. Twenty centuries later, the central theme of the Cross still is vibrant and forceful. But will that continue to be the case if those given the sobering task of teaching the Gospel act irresponsibly and alter its content, or use fraudulent means to present it? The simple fact is—Christianity's success today, just as in the first century, is dependent on the dedication, and honesty, of those to whom the Truth has been entrusted.
God has placed the Gospel plan of salvation into the hands of men and women who have been instructed to teach it so that all who hear it might have the opportunity to obey it, and be saved. The apostle Paul commented on this when he wrote: "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves" (2 Corinthians 4:7). The thrust of the apostle's statement in this particular passage was that the responsibility of taking the Gospel to a lost and dying world ultimately has been given to mortal men.
But the power is not in the men; rather, it is in the message! This, no doubt, accounts for the instructions Paul sent to Timothy in his second epistle when he urged the young evangelist to "give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15, emp. added). In addressing this point, Wayne Jackson has written:
The New Testament makes it abundantly clear that Christians are to proclaim the gospel of God in a loving and positive way. We are to expose every rational creature to the good news regarding the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. We should assume that each person we encounter is an honest soul until he or she demonstrates that such is not the case. Like the Lord, our mission is to seek those who are lost.... In our defense of the faith, however, we must maintain the highest level of integrity. Our argumentation must be honest and it must be sound. Any person who knowingly employs a fallacious argument in defense of some biblical truth is unworthy of the name of Christ. Truth does not need the support of misapplied scripture and invalid reasoning. It can stand on its own. There are occasions, though, when sincere people, who are honestly attempting to defend a biblical truth, unknowingly employ unsound argumentation in the process. Perhaps many of us have discovered, in retrospect, that we have made these sorts of mistakes. When such is the case, we will resolve to never repeat them—no matter how flashy or impressive the argument appears to be. Virtue demands that we attempt to prove our position correctly (1990, 26[1]:1).
Considering the fact that we, as God's "earthen vessels," have been made the instruments through which God offers to a lost and dying world reconciliation through His Son (John 3:16), the apostle's admonition is well taken. Surely it behooves us to "handle aright" so precious a commodity as the Word of God. The salvation of our own souls, and the souls of those we instruct, depends on the accuracy of the message.
Two kinds of erroneous teaching are under discussion in the above assessment. Error can result when a person inadvertently teaches something that is incorrect. The mistake is accidental and unintentional; the teacher means well, and is sincere, but is wrong. The New Testament itself records just such an incident.
In Acts 18, the story is related about Apollos, a Jew who was "fervent in spirit" and who "spake and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus" (Acts 18:25). However, when Apollos traveled to Ephesus, and began speaking "boldly in the synagogue," Aquila and Priscilla heard him and realized that he still was advocating the baptism of John the Baptist as it looked forward to the coming of Christ (see Acts 18:25-26). That baptism, of course, no longer was valid, having been supplanted by the baptism commemorating Christ's death and burial. Certainly, Apollos was sincere, but he was wrong. Aquila and Priscilla "took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more accurately" (Acts 18:26).
When his error was pointed out, he corrected it and subsequently continued with his preaching and teaching about Christ—apparently with much success, since, upon his arrival in Achaia, "the brethren encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him, and when he was come, he helped them much..., for he powerfully confuted the Jews, and that publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ" (Acts 18:27-28). Apollos was a good teacher. Nevertheless, he taught error. When he was shown his mistake, however, he possessed an attitude of humility, and a love for the Truth, that caused him to make the necessary correction. In so doing, he set a wonderful example for all who would be teachers of God's Word.
Many of us who teach have found ourselves in a situation akin to that of Apollos. In our earnest attempt to spread the Gospel, enlarge the borders of the kingdom, or defend the faith, we inadvertently made a mistake, and taught error. When our mistake was made known to us, we corrected it, learned from it, and determined not to repeat it—consistent with the example set by Apollos. Does the fact that we erred necessarily, then, make us a false teacher? In addressing the question, "Is everyone who makes mistakes a false teacher?," Steve Gibson has suggested:
No, a person receives a label when a certain behavior becomes characteristic of him. A preacher, for example, is one who preaches; a teacher is one who teaches; a criminal is one who commits crime. But not everyone who has ever delivered a sermon deserves to be called a preacher; not everyone who has ever violated a traffic law deserves to be called a criminal. Regardless of its content, a label should be reserved for those distinguished by the corresponding behavior (1990, 10[11/12]:18).
The discussion here is not intended to center on dedicated teachers who, on occasion, make (and correct) an inadvertent error as they attempt to instruct someone regarding the Gospel. Rather, it has to do with those who teach error purposely.
Error can also result when a person intentionally teaches something he knows to be wrong. The Old Testament provides an intriguing example of this very thing. In 1 Kings 13, the story is told of an unnamed young prophet whom God sent to deliver a message to king Jeroboam. God commanded the prophet: "Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the same way that thou camest" (13:9). Yet an older, lying prophet met the younger prophet and said: "I also am a prophet as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of Jehovah, saying, 'Bring him back with thee into thy house that he may eat bread and drink water' " (13:18). The young prophet accepted at face value the older prophet's instruction—false though it was—and on his return trip home was slain by a lion in punishment for his disobedience (13:24). The young prophet fell victim to teaching that had been presented to him intentionally by one who knew it was false. The result was the wrath of God and the loss of the young prophet's life.
Wayne Jackson, in the quotation above, suggested that "we should assume that each person we encounter is an honest soul until he or she demonstrates that such is not the case." That is good advice, and is in keeping with the apostle Paul's discussion of the concept of Christian charity that "beareth all things, believeth all things, endureth all things" (1 Corinthians 13:7). As difficult as it is for most of us to believe, however, the sad truth of the matter is that some people simply are not completely honest in their dealings. On occasion, this manifests itself even among those who profess to be Christians, and who claim that their intention is to convert the lost. The justification usually offered for the deliberate misrepresentation of the Truth (even if it is not actually verbalized) is the idea that the end justifies the means. Some apparently feel that employing just the truth of the matter will not impress people sufficiently to make them want to obey God's Word. Thus, the teaching is altered, and falsehood results.
While it may make the task of reaching the lost easier, and may swell the church roll temporarily, what good ultimately results from the teaching of such falsehood? Can we (legitimately) convert the lost through the intentional teaching of error? Can one be taught wrongly and obey correctly? The intentional teaching of error may comfort where truth offends. The person living in an adulterous marriage can be told that the marriage is acceptable to God. The person who believes that God created the Universe and populated the Earth via the process of organic evolution can be told that such a view is correct. And so on.
In the end, however, three things have occurred. First, as a result of having been taught error, the sinner may not be truly converted. Second, the church has been filled with adulterers, theistic evolutionists, and others who hold to false views. Since "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump" (Galatians 5:9), the church will be weakened, and others may be lured into the same error through association with those who believe it to be true. Third, the person who knowingly perpetrated the error has placed his soul, and the souls of those he taught, in jeopardy, because he knowingly taught error.
Someone might suggest that it is possible to be taught, and believe, error without endangering one's soul, since some error condemns while some does not. Such an observation is correct. As Bobby Duncan noted:
There are two kinds of error: (1) error which does not deter one from a course of action in harmony with the will of God, and (2) error which leads to a course of action out of harmony with the will of God....
Some in Paul's day obviously held erroneous views regarding the eating of certain meats (Rom. 14; I Cor. 8). But these views did not cause them to follow a course of action out of harmony with the will of God, and those who knew the truth were exhorted to receive them (Rom. 14:1).... One's belief of error will not damn his soul unless his erroneous views lead him into a course of action out of harmony with the will of God....
But there are other errors which, if believed, will directly affect one's life and religious practice so as to turn him aside from the will of God.... If one's belief of error caused him to worship according to the doctrines and commandments of men, his worship would be vain (Matt. 15:8-9).... If his belief of error led him to teach a perverted gospel, the curse of God would rest upon him (Gal. 1:6-9)... (1983, 19[20]:2).
Not all error, if believed, will condemn one's soul. Suppose, in the example of the two prophets (1 Kings 13), that the older prophet convinced the younger that God wanted him to rush home, carrying his staff in his left hand all the way. Would this have been a lie? Yes, but the consequences would not have been the same, for, believing and acting upon this lie, the younger prophet would not have been following a course of action out of harmony with the instructions God had given him.
To suggest, however, that the intentional teaching of error does not always produce negative effects, and thus is acceptable, ignores three important points. First, error is error, regardless of the effects produced. Christians are not called to teach error, but truth (John 14:6). Surely, the question should be asked: What faithful Christian would want to teach, or believe, any error? God always has measured men by their attitude toward the truth. Jesus said: "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). But the truth can free us only if we know it, accept it, and act upon it. Error never frees; it only enslaves.
Second, it is a simple fact that not all error is neutral in its effects upon a person's soul. As Bobby Duncan went on to state: "For one to be in error on some point that does not affect the faithful performance of his duty to God is one thing. But it is another for one to hold to error that would keep him from faithful obedience to God" (19[20]:2). It is possible to believe error, thinking all the while that it is true, only to discover all too late that it was not. The young prophet who lost his life because he believed a lie is a fine case in point.
Third, while it may be correct to assert that not all error condemns, such an assertion does not tell the whole story. What about the danger to the soul of the person responsible for the intentional false teaching? It will not do simply to suggest that the truth was misrepresented purposely so as to save a sinner from the error of his ways. The end does not always justify the means. Situation ethics has no place in the teaching, or life, of a faithful Christian. In both the Old Testament (e.g., Exodus 20:16) and New Testament (e.g., Revelation 21:8), God forbade the willful distortion of truth, and condemned those who engaged in such a practice. While positive benefits initially may seem to result from the intentional teaching of error, such benefits will be temporary at best. Ultimately the truth will win out, and those who have believed and taught error will suffer in one way or another. When those who have been taught error discover that they have believed a lie, they may become disillusioned and abandon their faith. When those who have taught the lie(s) appear before God in judgment, they will stand condemned.
In the end, who has benefited from the intentional teaching of error? The person who believed the error did not benefit, for his faith was not built upon truth, and thus his "conversion" may be called into question. The church did not benefit, but was weakened because although its numbers increased, its spirituality did not. Spiritual benefits cannot result from the intentional teaching of error. The person who taught the error did not benefit. He lied, and in so doing, incurred heaven's condemnation. Should he fail to repent, he will be delivered to "the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death" (Revelation 21:8).
In 2 Timothy 3:1-4, Paul presented his protégé with a litany of sins that characterized what he termed "grievous times." In addition to those who were selfish, boastful, haughty, disobedient, and without self-control, Paul wrote of men "holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof " (2 Timothy 3:5). Paul's point was that Timothy would encounter some who, from all outward appearances, were moral, truthful, dedicated Christians. But the outward appearance was deceptive because they had become hypocrites whose lives and teachings did not conform to the Gospel.
In commenting on the sinful nature of the Pharisees, Christ said, "ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity" (Matthew 23:28). The people described by Paul who exhibited "a form of godliness," but who had "denied the power thereof," possessed the same hypocritical, sinful nature as the Pharisees, which is why Paul commanded Timothy, "from these also turn away" (2 Timothy 3:5). Concerning the ill effects of this artificial "form of godliness," Raymond Hagood has stated:
Is it not easy to see how destructive this "form of godliness" can be? It works evil under the guise of good. It wounds the sensitive consciences of babes in Christ. It corrupts the values, honesty, and integrity of our young people and it presents to the world a dim view of the church (1976, 12[40]:1).
While the end results of erroneous teaching eventually may not be difficult to recognize, the false teacher is not always easy to identify. There are, however, certain criteria that signal a departure from the Truth (see Miller, 1987). First, the person who intentionally teaches error generally is bold to advance his ideas in certain settings, but is strangely silent or evasive in others. When among those sympathetic to his erroneous views, he will not hesitate to advocate them, but when in the presence of those he knows are well versed in the Scriptures, and who therefore could recognize and refute such views, often he will keep them to himself, or even go so far as to deny believing them.
Second, whereas the false teacher once was understood easily, and known for the clarity with which he taught, now he has begun to speak or write in vague terms that employ a "new vocabulary" of his own making. When questioned, he claims that he has been "misrepresented," "misunderstood," or "quoted out of context." He has become a chameleon-like character, able to vacillate back and forth at will between truth and error.
Third, as the real nature of the false teacher becomes increasingly evident, and the documentation of his error irrefutable, he becomes more overt in his teachings. Soon he associates himself with those who, in the past, he would have had no association. Others who are known to teach error suddenly consider him an ally, and actively promote him and his teachings.
Fourth, in time, as more and more faithful Christians rise up to challenge the false teacher, he depicts them as troublemakers who are unreliable barometers of the real spiritual atmosphere. He charges them as being paranoid, narrow-minded, unloving, tradition-bound, stagnant, witch-hunting pseudo-Christians who possess no real love for the Lord or His Word. He urges them to dispense with their Pharisaic legalism, and to cloak themselves with an "irenic" spirit that allows Christians the right to "agree to disagree" about fundamental Bible doctrines, resulting in the misnamed concept of "unity in diversity."
The damage inflicted by one who teaches error can be almost inestimable. That damage can be minimized, however, if faithful Christians follow the procedures set forth in Scripture for dealing with false teachers (e.g., Romans 16:17; Galatians 6:1; Ephesians 4:14-15; 5:11; 2 Thessalonians 3:6; 2 Timothy 2:25-26; Titus 3:10-11; James 5:19-20; 2 Peter 2:1-2; 1 John 4:1; 2 John 9-11). As Paul commanded Titus, "there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers...whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not,.... For this cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith" (Titus 1:10-11,13).
When James penned his New Testament epistle, he warned: "Be not many of you teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment" (James 3:1). It is a sobering thought indeed to know that those of us who teach God's Word one day shall be held accountable for how, and what, we have taught. Our teaching, therefore, should be designed to do at least three things.
First, it should present the sinner with the pure, unadulterated Gospel, in the hope that he will hear it, believe it, and obey it, thereby being saved from his lost state (Luke 13:3; Romans 3:23; 6:23). The ultimate goal of our efforts is not merely to inform, but rather to motivate the hearer to proper action.
Second, the things we teach, publicly or privately, should equip Christians for greater maturity in the faith so that they, too, can become teachers (Hebrews 5:12). The success of Christianity in the world is dependent upon those who advocate it being able to teach it to others.
Third, our teaching should edify the entire church so that should the time come when certain saints "will not endure the sound doctrine" (2 Timothy 4:3-4), there will be those well-grounded in the truth who can combat error and "contend earnestly for the faith" (Jude 3).
Certainly, those of us who teach bear a weighty responsibility (Ezekiel 33:7-9). But if we do our jobs properly, we will receive from the Lord a "crown of life" (Revelation 2:10). Equally important is the fact that if those whom we teach accept and obey God's Word, they, too, will enjoy a home in heaven, and we will have saved a soul from death (Ezekiel 33:14-16). The responsibility may be weighty, but the reward is commensurate to the task.

SEE YOU AT NOVEMBER 5th 2017 WHITE HOUSE MMM!!!! BE THERE!
The same space based weapon used on Saddam Hussein, used on Todd Giffen domestically.
Yugoslavs, Croatians ready for peacekeepers
The "psychics" are government officers with "god mode" in the space capability. By mere thoughts they can remotely control others, remote view, and tap into other peoples information, brains, etc for surveillance. Entire weapon systems are commanded by mere thought alone. They exist all around us: police officers, public officials, Governors, Presidents.. It's the ultimate black world replacement for keyboards/mice/radio/texting/talking/etc. All the communication and system is off the record and hidden.
If you're hearing voices we have a research opportunity. Dr. Robert Duncan AB, SM, MBA, PhD himself has designed a device that might stop the voices. Generated data will prove points about neuropsychological and electronic torture, and can be used in court: December 12th 2016: A message from Dr. Robert Duncan AB, SM, MBA, PhD and Todd Giffen: Subjects needed for research.
William Binney and Kirk Wiebe have joined up to offer their expertise as analysts from the NSA. Submit your case of targeting: Global TI Survey.
For a brief description of some of the mind control tactics being used on people like me, refer to this document written by government spy/engineer/phycisist Dr. Robert Duncan AB, SM, MBA, PhD: The Executive Summary: Neuropsychological and Electronic No-Touch Torture Report.
One of my psychologists has written a piece highlighting the fraud against certain people being picked off by the government: Seth Farber, Ph.D: The Psychiatric Metanarrative, Targeted Individuals, and the Deep State: A Response to The New York Times.
NSA Whistleblower William Binney 30 year technical director, and Dr. Robert Duncan AB SM MBA PhD support me and the victims. In this recent March 2017 interview, you get the full scope. They mention how the brain has been fully decrypted, and how the NSA data centers have enough storage for all our brain scans to be stored, scans done with the NSA space capability weapons system in secret through the walls of our homes/as we travel across the globe.

How long has the National Security Agency been scanning our brains from space, and even giving agents psychic powers, and mind controlling people/torturing them/remotely interrogating them? Along time, and we have a TOP SECRET document dated 1981 to verify it. They refer to it as NSA ESP, which is described identically to Dr. Robert Duncan's AB SM MBA PhD TAMI/Thought Amplifier Mind Interface system the government has, the same thing described around the net as NSA Remote Neural Monitoring and Electronic Brain Link. This technology pre-dates PRISM, UPSTREAM, fiber optic tapping, etc. This is the NSA's true bread and butter surveillance system, the ability to psychically spy on people, remote view, brain scan citizens, and even psychically kill and torture citizens. Download the TOP SECRET document here. Yes the media seems to have engaged in a cover up of this technology, it pre-dates all the Edward Snowden leaks! It's more powerful and does way more than anything disclosed by Edward Snowden!
What do you look like when having sex in your house, covered by walls from space satellites? Although software lets them render video with and without specific layers such as clothes, skin, and outer muscles, here is a low resolution rendering of your internal organs while engaged in coitus. The satellite/radar scan used to make this recording is known as magnetic resonance imaging and the military version is over 40 years older than the doctors office version (funny thing about technology, they invent things 50 years ago, but still don't discuss it much in the public, sometimes even discussing public versions taking an additional 30 years to master. they want us to believe it takes 80+ years to develop old technology/methods/techniques the military developed. :D):

Since Barack Obama was elected President of the United States of America in 2008, he inherited all the awesome power that goes with it. That includes the NSA/military space capability/ballistic missile defense (actually an offensive weapon/neurological weapon) made up mostly of radar, satellite systems equipped with aimable lasers and phased arrays, which perform active interferometry scans and biocommunications capability (neurological weapon) using directed energy. This surveillance system and weapon allows the President, law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and state employees to spy on anyone they want through walls, take brain and body scans, steal memories and passwords, encryption codes, and also assassinate, psychological warfare, and torture dissidents and targeted persons. Hard drives, DRAM, CPU, cables, fiber optics, and computer systems can also be hacked into using directed energy scans and quantum manipulation in real-time through the walls and active shielding.
Barack was personally notified of these COINTELPRO 2016 abuses going on at least no later than 2011 when hundreds of citizens testified to his Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethics Issues. The Commission notified those who testified that Barack Obama and the White House was notified and passed the information, but unless they decided to take action, no action would be taken.
In 2015 I, Todd Giffen, personally spoke to the Executive Director Lisa Lee of the Commission, and was instructed that Barack Obama and the Commission had both been fully informed of this problem. However, according to Lisa, it was Barack Obama's personal choice that nothing would be done (seriously, listen to the audio clip on drrobertduncan.com below). She told me that it might be delt with in future administrations, however with Trump indicating he's appointing a lead architect of the George W. Bush torture program (which included directed energy no touch torture like under Obama but that was covered up) head of the CIA, it's unlikely anything but continued torture under President Elect Donald Trump will be occurring. It does appear Donald Trump supports torture. ACLU has stated in press announcements they will fight Donald Trump and his unconstitutional plans, and other sources have indicated we will have to rely more on private resources in order to fight police/state/military brutality, torture, surveillance, and other abuse like this under his rule.
I've personally protested at the White House, I've contacted corrupt Senator, after Congressman, everyone in town seems to know this is already going on, but nothing is being done about it. I'm not the first, people have actually sat down with these people as government engineers, whistleblowers, and agents and gotten no where. Victims have eaten meals with the likes of Senator Feinstein, to be told she can't do anything to help the victims. What seems to be going on is everyone knows it's going on, but is engaged in covering it up, continuing funding, and other abuses against the public and the victims.
The main website with my story of abuse, 7+ backing psychologists confirming I'm severely injured from torture/irradiation, lawyers, government whistleblowers, records, and documents is oregonstatehospital.net all about the site where I was first targeted with warrantless surveillance NSA space capability, where they started by trying to murder me by irradiation, biocommunications, psychotronic weaponry, and directed energy. I've been a target now for over 8 years irradiated every second of every day as my body is impinged with this signals intelligence. The system is deployed worldwide, so they can scan/spy on, and harm any person they please, even as they move across the United States or globe. Picture their electronic warfare systems tracking missiles and planes in the sky, which they might shoot down with an automated directed energy beam/laser- the same system tracks each human being on earth the same way and can lock onto our cells and bodies for irradiation and automated killings. The system is deployed now and live for human extinction attack, or perhaps they'll just kill all us poor whistleblowers and in the know (you thought only the Drones were doing remote targeted killings? That's fucking low tech shit compared to this- this lets them kill and torture in stealth without the visibility of a Drone strike.).

The other websites I operate include drrobertduncan.com with compilation of evidence, education, and material on the crimes and weaponry being used on citizens. Most of the content comes from a CIA/DOD/US DOJ/NASA whistleblower/system architect named Dr. Robert Duncan AB, SM, MBA, PhD. He's been going to the government and public on this issue since 2005 and been on TV and radio numerous times, and published books on the matter, yet made no dent on the issue. He went to Congress and Senate, over 20 different ones with former FBI Special Agent and head of Los Angeles Ted Gunderson. The democrats indicated interest, but said until they have power they can't investigate torture like this, and that was over a decade ago. Me and Dr. Robert Duncan are personal friends, he has endorsed the website, hosted material there, provided insider details, and he's given me his personal Harvard email address for confirmation of our friendship.

I run three other victims websites, both extremely credible former government agents, who happen to report being attacked by a weapon system billions have been spent on, and yet the government denies exists. It's classified, and no one wants to go to jail for it..
myronmaysflashdrive.com (Myron May former public defender, prosecutor from New Mexico, and graduate of Florida State University was shot dead after police targeted him and irradiated him for multiple months. Myron shot three to get media coverage for the communities plight, fully involuntary to his will, induced and intended by government officials as directed energy much like hypnosis forced his will.)
aaronalexisnavyshooter.com (Aaron Alexis reported knowing the secret locations of where they've tested these weapons for decades, and after multiple months of irradiation, was shot dead upon entering the Navy Ship Yard to clean house on these bastards. The act of his cleaning house was involuntary to his will, induced and intended by government officials as directed energy much like hypnosis forced his will.)
estebansantiago.us (Esteban Santiago reported mind control being used on him to forced him to become a terrorist, including watching ISIS videos. He then flew to Fort Lauderdale Florida with a gun in checked baggage legally, and shot 11 killing 5 January 6th 2017, involuntarily and against his will. Unlike many previous mind controlled mass shooters he's still alive, is on trial and facing the death penalty. Acquittal possibility exist in the law for him- the federal government technically has to prove he acted with Acteus Reus, meaning he wasn't a victim of mind control- see the site for more details.)
Several NSA whistleblowers back us up that NSA is being used the way we claim to track, organize, target, harass, and administrate abuses toward targeted citizens. I run several websites with some videos and information on them:
russelltice.com (Russell Tice space capability/ballastic missile defense (actually an offensive neurological weapon)/black world/special access programs/satellite/radar specialist targeted citizens with satellite/space capability, and did spooky stuff.)
williambinney.com (William Binney former 30 year technical director has compiled information that has been available for over a decade open source on the web. He says NSA is used to spy on, track, and harass individuals with law enforcement cooperation. Government wide they use the planned programmed perjury policy to hide their abuses and secret targeting of citizens. Parallel construction is used across the board, the public is told only a false story, even in court cases they lie and perjure themselves. This policy is deployed worldwide and came from the US Department of Justice. It's one big cover up of the states abuse everyday.)
thomasdrake.xyz (Thomas Drake confirms NSA is violating the 4th amendment and has subverted the constitution to target everyone secretly, tearing America apart with military surveillance/weapons/man power.)
I've received endorsements by NSA whistleblowers Kirk Wiebe, and William Binney personally. Both are seriously concerned about everything I report being done to people around the globe. They've put their names on it like many others have as well. Godspeed everyone.
Concealed High-Tech Side of NSA Surveillance: Remote Brain Targeting
The NSA whistleblowers wish they could disclose more but the risk of further targeting by the government is too severe. They are treated like traitors, assassinated, and imprisoned for disclosing classified intelligence or embarassing those in government behind these tragedies. As long as they don't disclose classified information they are fine, but there are so many things in this area classified, they can't even say a peep. Russ Tice, William Binney, and many have talked along these lines "as long as I don't say anything classified, I'm fine." The reason they support us so much is because they already know it's all real in the classified realm. No one, not even Congress has the authority to hear these things, and Congress already knows.
Another term for these techniques is "interferometry." Interferometry merely allows directed energy to be used to remotely alter physical matter and energy, with only one such application being to "scan" or "remotely sense" remote energy/matter. All properties of matter and energy can be manipulated, which is what allows scans to be done (the purpose is to receive a return signal of a specific energy/type/pattern/protocol, without necessarily altering the targeted particles/energy/matter function), and human remote control. The technique is well known amongst engineers and electronic companies and is even used in the mainstream, such as in new 4D TVs to create holograms we can see with our own eyes, making particles broadcast specific light frequencies from desired points merely by shooting beams at the particles from many points. The energy almost harmlessly passes from the transmitters through people and other matter/energy into the targeted particles, causing the desired effect. One can cause expansion/contraction/vibrations/sound creation/compression, nerve compression, electrons/neurons off/on, heating/chilling, specific electromagnetic frequencies to be produced including extra low frequency/radio/microwaves/terahertz/infrared/light, levitation performed and gravity overroad, particles/atoms/energy can be moved around, signals can be masked/generated to cloak or conceal something from interception including physical imagery or falsely generated for false positive detection, and matter can even be dustified by disruption of bonds between particles and atoms. Another effect is the ability to send electrons over a beam into someone or thing, such as the sky to create lightning, or an electronic to turn it on or off, or a person such as to tase them without electrodes. The possibilities are limitless.
In the scene below Star Trek properly understood these properties for their science/possibly Department of Defense inspired scene, showing an interferometry system reading and writing to Lt. Barclay's brain. Of course this is a mere prop, and a real machine would use invisible beams continuously altering Lt. Barclay's cellular function. In their example of a human to machine interface, interferometry scanned Lt. Barclay's brain into the computer where it expanded beyond his brains capacity, but a link is maintained as his brain continues to physically control his presence in the system and some data is uploaded to his brain for him to think about and send new commands by thought and neurological function alone to the computer. This is one such real system that exists today as people now have virtual neurons that exist entirely in remote Department of Defense computer systems. Even I have some, although I won't die if severed from them as Lt. Barclay would.

The below is an example of a hologram you can touch and feel using intereferometry. Plasma is made out of air with femtosecond lasers and radio frequencies. Any transmitter will do. The military has the most complex ones in space and on the ground all around us, more advanced than the technology demo'd. The below video demos interactive plasma creation, as the emitter responds to the humans touch of the plasma field by sensing your location and stuctural information from interference with the beams and plasma.

One type of psychological warfare deployed over the population of the planet today involves controlling their world view, skills, knowledge base, to prevent them from being skillful, from organizing a defeat of their corrupt leaders, and to prevent them from having emotional responses that may lead them to rebel or act to prosecute those who should be prosecuted. The governments of the world especially the United States have bred entire crops of inept illiterate corrupt drones to do their bidding, and they exist all over the entire planet compromising of the entire populace. Certain people have awaken to the issue and disagree with it, been persecuted, targeted, tortured, spied on, and fight against it- the drones, the sheeple, are coveted and protected, even as they too know these things are going on, as they've been installed into key positions and brought into the "national security state." Some are so well trained they don't know this is going on, they're connected to the matrix but don't resist or fight it, and prefer to live in ignorant bliss. They have strength in numbers unforunately. The awakened are targeted individuals, activists, anonymous members, some are even in prison and mental hospitals for their knowledge of these problems. The only hope you have is to deal a total blow to their system, by hacking it, by performing mass shootings, and by dumping their classified information to the populace. By undoing the harm they've caused, by letting the public in as much as possible, there's hope that some drones might change their ways someday but it will take a lot of resources and force- it won't be done peacefully, they've committed some serious crimes they don't intend to publically acknowledge willingly. You'll need global mass media coverage much like Edward Snowden has gotten, to do counter psychological warfare. You need to take control over their systems, to put in none corrupt systems of our own. We do need to "occupy" their space and systems, and create our own free of their control, to truly rid ourselves of them. They should ultimately all be imprisoned, and executed.. they're too dangerous to be let to live amongst those who haven't taken part or amongst the none corrupt- the people who deserve all the freedom and power. You can assume most who work for businesses, the police, the courts including attorney's worldwide, county, state, city, and federal officials are corrupt and part of their system as spies, knowingly doing the elite powers bidding to maintain this system (such system is very common in history, look at the German Stasi- everyone was a spy for the government, and did the governments bidding. It's the ultimate HUMINT network- people on every street, in every corner, watching and doing whatever their classified instructions say.). All countries today utilize these techniques and have done so for hundreds of years. They truly do manufacture the illusion of freedom, which the sheeple just can't be disconnected from no matter how obvious the problem.

It's true to say that the wedding shirt is far from the star of the show when it comes to the men's wedding outfits. However, it's perfectly possible to ruin a look simply by choosing the wrong shirt, so it's essential that Grooms and Groomsmen are aware of their options and make the correct decisions.
This article takes a closer look at each of the five main wedding shirts on the market and will help you avoid any potential fashion disasters!
Single Cuff Shirts
The single cuff shirt is one of the most common shirts in the UK. Just about everyone in the country will have worn a single cuff shirt at some stage in their life, whether it was part of their school uniform, when going to an interview or just turning up for work at the office.
The single cuff shirt differs from its double cuff sibling in one obvious way you guessed it, the cuffs. Single cuff shirts have no turn-backs and are fastened via a single button on each cuff. They are ideal for most wedding outfits, more-so lounge suits than any other, but wearers should pay close attention to the collar and ensure that a rigid, as opposed to soft, collar is present.
Not as impressive as their double-cuff counterparts, unless there is a good reason, it may be wise to avoid single cuff shirts in favour of one their more executive rivals.
Double Cuff Shirts
Double cuff shirts feature a traditional rigid collar and normal-length sleeves. The cuffs on a double cuff shirt are twice as long as those on single cuff shirts, and the wearer needs to fold them back over one another and fasten them in place. With no buttons present, cufflinks are an essential addition to any double cuff shirt purchase. Whilst cufflinks will bump up the overall costs, most would agree that the overall look attained with a double cuff shirt is well worth the extra cash.
Double cuff shirts can be worn with most outfits, but are at their best when accompanying a traditional suit or other outfit in which a normal tie is the order of the day. If ruches, cravats or European ties are to be worn by the Groom or any of his Groomsmen, it may be best to consider an alternative wedding shirt, and if bow ties are the choice then a double cuff shirt is a definite no-no.
Wing Collar Shirts
The most popular choice when it comes to wedding shirts for the male wedding party members, the wing collar shirt soars head and shoulders above its rivals (apologies for the poor pun).
As with the double cuff, the wing collar shirt has fold-back cuffs and requires cufflinks, but the difference comes when we look at the collar. Whilst the double cuff has a fold-down collar that runs all the way around the neck, the wing collar shirt, put simply, has two little wings that fold over at the front but quickly taper back to leave the remainder of the tie around the neck exposed. From side or rear view, the tie around the neck is fully exposed and the only collar visible is that underneath the tie and against the neck.
Prince Edward Jackets, Frocks Coats, Tailcoats, Prince Charlies, Argylls, Tail Suits and Tuxedos all work wonderfully with a wing collar shirt - in fact it's only lounge suits that look a little odd.
With a look that complements virtually every style it is easy to see why wing collar shirts are so popular, and why most men's outfitters you visit will recommend that you plump for one.
Nehru Shirts
Nehru shirts are characterised by their short (one to two inch) stand-up round collar with no lapels. Worn without a tie and sometimes left open, but more often than enough fastened and accompanied by a collar stud, Nehru shirts are contemporary and different. They could be worn with any jacket, although the result may sometimes look a little odd, therefore it's best to only consider one when looking for a wedding shirt to accompany a Nehru Jacket.
Short Sleeved Wedding Shirts
Short sleeved wedding shirts are the most informal of all the shirts that can be worn by a Groom and his Groomsmen. Available in both plain and patterned varieties, they vary from contemporary cream cotton shirts through to vibrant Bermuda shirts and vivid Hawaiian shirts. Ideal for a very informal ceremony or beach wedding where hot temperatures are expected, the short sleeved wedding shirt is often accompanied by either plain trousers or dress shorts. With a collar that is worn open collar, the shirt will often feature a single breast pocket ideal for holding some designer sunglasses!
A Word on Wedding Shirt Colours
When it comes to wedding shirts, tradition dictates that the ones worn by the Groom and his Groomsmen will be either white or cream, though there's nothing to stop you looking elsewhere.
Whilst neckpieces, waistcoats and cummerbunds are often the coloured items used to connect the male outfits to that of the bridesmaid dresses and overall wedding theme, wedding shirts can be used to the same effect. Having the Groom in a different colour wedding shirt to the other male members of the wedding party is a trick that can also be used to help them stand out from the crowd.
Whatever coloured wedding shirts you plump for, make sure they are spotlessly clean and ironed, preferably on the morning, and that all buttons are in place and are fastened.

Smart Technology Enabled Classrooms
Most of the classrooms on Augustana's campus are technology enabled. We use the terminology Smart Classroom for rooms that controlled by a Crestron control panel, have multiple integrated device options and often have a Smart Sympodium or Smart Board.
The Crestron control panel (running on the in-room PC dislpay) is the proper way to control the integrated devices in these rooms. The rooms often have the following technogy:
- Technology Podium - containing the devices, keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc.
- Networked Desktop PC - integrated with podium and used for most classroom presentations
- SMART Sympodium - Smart Board technology integrated into the PC Monitor
- Crestron Control system - displayed and used from the PC
- VGA laptop connection and Audio for laptop connection (a few rooms do not support laptop audio)
- Speakers and Amplifier itegrated with technology sources in the podium
Rooms may also have one or more of the following technologies:
- Document Camera - for displaying textbook pages or other objects

New York-based HUSH has collaborated with Nike to bring diversity of style and imagery to the iconic brand with a series of large format images displayed in Niketown and NikeID stores throughout the United States and Europe. The dynamic imagery is delivered directly to the consumer through two core concepts. In Splash, a blank white shoe stomps into a puddle of paint. In Stitch, a shoe is frozen in time as new layers and colors are sewn onto it. Both of these displays are perfectly paired with an expansive wall filled with Nike shoes in an array of all colors and styles.
"Nike is the kind of company that continually strives to reinvent its image and reach millions through its brand identification. We relish the chance to work with such a company, aligning ourselves with the same chameleon-like qualities. In the diverse advertising community, we pride ourselves on our ability to provide a wide range of high-caliber work no matter what the project medium," commented HUSH director Erik Karasyk.

SAN ANTONIO - A month after losing a costly and long-coveted bid for the U.S. Senate, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst on Tuesday turned his political sights back on the Texas Capitol and said he would seek for a fourth term in his powerful state office.
The line of prominent Republicans eyeing the lieutenant governor's seat in 2014 is already growing long, and Dewhurst's announcement at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., didn't change their plans - or even convince them Dewhurst would really be on the ballot in two years.
"As I see this today, there's no way to know who will be running for lieutenant governor in 2014," said Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples, who is also in Tampa this week and had already put his name in the field.
Dewhurst, 67, was first elected lieutenant governor in 2003 and had spent much of the past two years positioned as the favorite to succeed Republican U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. Despite a once commanding lead in the polls and spending millions of his vast personal wealth, though, Dewhurst lost the GOP runoff in July to tea party insurgent Ted Cruz.
The defeat left Dewhurst's political future murky, particularly as an entrenched member of the state's Republican establishment whose conservative record was assailed by Cruz and his restless supporters in the party.
Dewhurst's spokesman, Matt Hirsch, said Dewhurst has moved on from his loss to Cruz and delved back into the business of state affairs. The Texas lieutenant governor presides over the state Senate and wields considerable influence over state policy.
Earlier this week, Dewhurst appointed lawmakers to chair several powerful committees in the upcoming legislative session.
"He was always concerned what was best for the state of Texas," Hirsch said. "He feels there's a lot of work left to be done."
Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson has also announced he intends to run for Dewhurst's seat. Patterson is a former state legislator who has led the Texas General Land Office since 2002. State Comptroller Susan Combs is also widely mentioned as a potential candidate.
Dewhurst had been mum on his political future since losing to Cruz. He has acknowledged missteps in his campaign and believed that many voters angry at Washington were out to punish government officials at all levels. Cruz has never held elected office, but his victory in the runoff vaulted him to Republican stardom and even a headlining address at the party's convention this week.
Before losing to Cruz, Dewhurst had been undefeated in elections since his first run for Texas Land Commissioner in 1998. He personally spent nearly $20 million on the Senate run.

The Staff of George Commons MD:Alicia is an R.N. with extensive experience in surgery. In addition to her expertise in the operating room Alicia assists Dr. Commons and is also experienced in administering Botox and fillers. You will find Alicia to be warm, protective, experienced, comforting, patient, and extremely competent. When you call the office you will be greeted by either Sue or Elaine. Along with their educational backgrounds and ability to answer most questions about aesthetic plastic surgery, they both have a warm enthusiastic attitude and are happy to share their knowledge and an evaluation of Dr. Commons surgical skills. You can
also request a complimentary consultation which includes a personal evaluation and a viewing of before and after pictures of surgery done by Dr, Commons to decide if surgery is for you before you meet the doctor. You then will be well informed with background material before you discuss your personal surgical desires with Dr. Commons. Sue has worked with Dr. Commons for the past 20 years and Elaine has worked 10 years in the office. They are highly valued by the entire
office and our patients.
SURGICAL PROCEDURES performed by Dr. George Commons MD
Breast AugmentationIs increasing the size of the breast with saline or gel implants.
Breast Uplift by George W. Commons MDIs correcting sagging breast by meticulously removing excess skin or causing skin to shrink via ultrasonic energy.
Breast ReductionIs the actual removal of breast tissue and skin to reduce size and simultaneously uplift breast.This office has not endorsed the donut or purse string techniques for uplifts. The problems that can result include flattened nipples, irregular nipple shape and wrinkling of skin around the nipple
giving a starburst effect. These undesirable results can become evident about 6 months post-operatively with unsightly scars. The most common technique, which we endorse, involves a vertical incision from the areola to the breast crease and a horizontal incision along the breast crease. The appropriate technique for your case will be based on breast size and shape, position of the areola, degree of breast sagging, skin quality and elasticity as well as the amount of extra skin. In recent years, breast shape and symmetry with finer shorter scars have been made possible. Limited liposuction has been introduced recently to facilitate in shaping as well. Our goals for breast reduction are: decreased volume, aesthetically
contoured shape with good symmetry, fine limited scars, normal nipple sensitivity and preservation of lactation potential (breast feeding). No technique is entirely free of risk, but every attempt is made to ensure safety and minimize risk potential.
Abdominoplasty by Dr. George W. CommonsAlthough liposuction alone often solves abdominal protuberance, an abdominoplasty tummy tuck becomes a more appropriate surgery if skin and muscle laxity or muscle separation exist. This procedure allows for muscle repair, excision of excess skin, and umbilical reconstruction. The result is the optimum flat stomach which is why
this surgery continues to be one of the most popular body contour surgeries. Facial ryhtidectomyBecause I want my patients to feel safe, comfortable, and pleased with their results, I stress a rejuvenation of the aging face with
emphasis on an individual, natural appearance that will last. Before surgery, my patients have an opportunity to discuss any concern or question that they may have about a surgical procedure or
the surgery itself. Will I look natural after surgery and how long will the results last are among the frequently asked questions. These and all concerns are thoroughly discussed and answered during the pre-surgery conference.My goal, of course, is to maximize natural correction and the longevity of the surgery for each patient. A timid procedure will produce little change, while a radical approach often results in a
pulled, unnatural Ive had a facelift look. Doing the job correctly requires placing the major pull on the muscle covering (S.M.A.S.) in order to suspend lax muscle and to redrape the skin,
eliminating stress lines. Advanced techniques make cheek, chin, and lip implants additional contributors to a youthful appearance. A face lift must incorporate the latest and best technology and
technique, addressing skin, muscle, and fat pad laxity, correcting aging patterns in folds, eyes, cheeks, jowls, mouth, and neck.
Liposuction by George CommonsDeveloped in France and Italy, liposuction came to the United States in 1981. Incredible advances, however, have occurred since then, making the procedure much safer and more effective. The major improvement is the perfection of ultrasonic assisted liposuction techniques. These techniques safely emulsify body fat and assist the surgeon with his detailed precision. Because larger volume
liposuction and ultrasonic larger volume liposuction are major interests of mine, I did pioneer work with them and currently teach these techniques including the newest technique (Vaser)® to other
plastic surgeons. Liposuction enables patients to enjoy major improvement in the contour of their body, and, for that reason, it remains a popular, productive surgery. Blepharoplasty Excessive skin and fat over the eye (hooding) can obstruct vision. Puffiness under the eyes can project depression or fatigue. As we age, negative changes around our eyelids can be evident with excess lax skin, lax muscles, herniated fat pads and wrinkling. These identifying traits can be improved by removing excess tissue, excess fat and when appropriate, the suspension of lax muscles. Depending on the patient's eyelid age and problem, incisions may be inside or outside the eyelid Older techniques focused on removal of fat bulges about the eyelids Sometimes tat fat removal resulted in a round hollow, skeletal appearance of advanced age. New advanced techniques stress maintaining some fat and repositioning in hollow adjacent areas. This promotes the youthful eye orbit that is shallow arid oval. In cases of herniated fat, it is necessary to replace the fat behind the muscle and repair the hernia. Forehead by Dr. Commons In conjunction with a facelift, I often perform forehead surgery (forehead / frown procedure ) to elevate drooping brows, to give an open, alert upper eyelid, and to soften frown lines. Advances in forehead surgery include the use of mini incision endoscopic surgery, employment of detection defying hairline technique, and improved versions of the coronal technique. Because each approach
has merit, the important issue is to match each patient with the technique that is best for him / her. A hairline incision approach works well if the patient has a high forehead with receding hair.
When I use the hairline approach, I elevate the brows and bring the scalp hair forward. If the patient has a narrow forehead, I use the
endoscopic procedure. Clearly, the cookbook technique has no place in the individuality of plastic surgery. My job is to select the correct technique for each individual patient to ensure the desired results. Rhinoplasty by Commons, George MDAesthetic nasal surgery is a common surgical procedure for noses that are large, crooked, broad, bulbous, or humped. New techniques
that produce an improved, natural appearance have replaced the antiquated, radical ski jump rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty, which utilizes well hidden incisions, is used in difficult cases. This procedure provides better visibility for the surgeon with excellent results. Closed rhinoplasty, another successful option, offers hidden incisions inside the nose. Septoplasty is another surgery that I perform to correct airway obstructions, a common occurrence with a deviated septum. Improved cartilage grafting methods provide yet another source to improve the aesthetic appearance of the nose. Chin Correction Congenital chin recession or what is commonly known as a "weak chin, may result in a profile that lacks the harmony, that you desire. There are many different chin implant types and sizes
available. Materials can include silicone. proplast, irradiated cartilage, or even cartilage or bone taken from your own body. A chin implant can be inserted either intraorally or by an incision under your chin. Chin augmentation is accomplished under a local anesthetic. Facial Chemical Peels by Doctor George W. CommonsThis is an outpatient procedure that is performed in either our office or in our general operating facility. The purpose of a facial peel is to cause the even, controlled shedding of several layers of damaged cells, so you are left with a new fresh layer of skin with more even texture and color. A facial chemical peel tightens skin and softens wrinkle lines as much as possible. Dr. Commons applies either TCA or Phenol Peels. These are not the superficial peels performed in day spas that only produce a nice little buff to the skin. Depending upon the depth of the peel, the patient would need about a week or two before returning to work. Dermabrassion Dermabrasion is a procedure used in plastic surgery to help smooth the upper layer of skin and epidermis. It can diminish the effects of scarring due to trauma or acne as well as address fine wrinkles about the mouth and face. The effect is very similar to chemical peels, but there are some distinct differences in how these procedures are used. Skin type and problems will dictate which
procedure is preferable. Recovery is similar to chemical peels.

Ticket #11024 (closed defect: obsolete)
Reproducable crashes with VNC
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|VirtualBox 4.2.0
|VNC Crash
|Guest type:
|Host type:
At least with VBox 4.1.22_OSEr80657 (with FreeBSD VNC hack) and 4.2.0_OSE (with integrated VNC server) it's possible to crash a VM running Windows XP SP3 when the desktop is viewed via the integrated VNC server: pid 80484 (VBoxHeadless), uid 1002: exited on signal 11. So far I was unable to get a crash dump. The log file is attached but doesn't show anything. The crash is NOT reproduceable when interacting directly with the VM (starting and using it by the qt4 GUI) or when connecting to the Windows integrated RDP server (NOT the VBox RDP server).
To reproduce:
- Start a Windows XP SP3 VM and install Mozilla Firefox into it. The crash will happen after some websurfing. Good ways to "force" a crash are typing things into the google.com searchbar or heavy scrolling. A very crash prone URL is http://superuser.com/questions/84995/how-to-enable-multiple-processors-on-xp-sp-3
- A more reliable way is to connect by VNC to the VM and log into the Windows RDP server (the remote desktop) while the VNC session is still running. Chances are high that VBox will crash immediately.

This affects me too. I run into this problem when scrolling inside Visio. VirtualBox locks up so that the only thing I can do is trash the current snapshot (losing all my editing work) and reboot the virtual machine. When Virtualbox locks up, it maxes out the host CPU utilization.
VirtualBox 4.2.8 on Ubuntu 12.10 x86_64 host. Windows 7 x64 guest.
This happens almost every day. Can someone please look into it? Thanks.
comment:2 Changed 7 years ago by klaus
Note that the VNC support (as a VRDE module) is a 3rd party contribution. Oracle does not support it besides having the source code as part of the VirtualBox tree. So you need to find someone who can find the root cause and contribute a fix.
The generic VRDE code is very well tested (since it's the basis for the VRDP support), so I doubt that this is a problem which affects the generic code.
comment:3 Changed 4 years ago by aeichner
- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to obsolete
Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.

Now that HD DVD's out of picture, consumer electronics companies can steer Blu-ray into the mainstream. The latest to do so, Pioneer, has unwrapped a quartet of players it plans to launch.
Pioneer's BDP-LX08: slimline
The BDP-LX91, BDP-LX71, BDP-LX08 and BDP-51FD all support version 1.1 of the Blu-ray spec, aka Profile 1.1, so they can handle BonusView picture-in-picture content. The top-of-the-range LX91 will also come with BD Live - the ability to grab and display online content, internet connection permitting.
BDP-51FD: chunky
They all have HDMI 1.3 ports and support CD playback over the HDMI link, if you want to hear your tunes through your telly. They do HD audio and 7.1-channel analogue. All of them use Pioneer's Kuro user interface.
BDP-LX71: chunky... but - hey - it's got gold-plated terminals
They can handle cinema-style 24 frames per second playback and punch out pictures at 1080p resolution. They support HDMI's 12-bit Deep Colour for an effectively dither-free image.
Pioneer didn't say how much the machines will cost, but it said the low-end 51FD and LX08 - it's primarily design that differentiates them - will debut in October, shorty after the LX71 arrives in September. Its advantage over the others: gold-plated terminals and touch-key buttons.
The LX91 will go on sale "later this winter".
