Another case of "Oops!"?
The Houston Astros, scheduled to unveil their new logos, uniforms, caps, colour scheme, and mascot on November 2nd posted an invitation to attend the event on their website the other day. This invitation contained a teaser graphic showing a blacked out version of the new uniform.
A simple playing with the exposure and brightness settings and… ta-da!
What you see in this graphic is the new uniform will feature orange piping, "ASTROS" appears across the front in navy and orange block lettering and also a player number on the lower side below the script.
The caps, when zoomed in, appear to be navy with an orange bill and feature a version of the classic 80s Astros cap logo shown inset on the graphic:
All of this information matches exactly with the description provided to me by my very trusted source and written about back in August.
Well, that looks terribly boring. Hopefully it doesn't include the crap-ass "shooting star" above the Astros text.
One person's "boring" is another person's "classic!" I'm glad they're going back to their original colors. Although I'm not usually a fan of the headspoon look, this one appears to have potential.
I have been told the uniforms are terribly plain, basic block script across the front - think 1960s uniforms without any shooting stars
So this is basically going to be something along the lines of a 1980's Detroit Tigers jersey?
Actually, yeah... the 80s Tigers road jersey is a good comparison for colours and front lettering style.
The S on the jersey doesn't exactly look script.
Forgive my terminology, I meant the "script logo", a term I use for the lettering that appears across the front of a jersey... it is indeed Block lettering, much like the Astros uniforms of the late 1960s - check the link to the story in August (at the end of this article) for details
Ah, okay. I don't think it's going to necessarily look bad, but it does seem a little overly simple.
Great work, as usual!
I don't like uniforms with pants piping but no sleeve piping or ones without front numbers with a few exceptions so even though I'm also not a retro/fauxback fan I'm already liking these better than the ones they've worn previously. And no more Astros in pinstripes is an added bonus!!!
returning to the old logo is a plus. kinda interested what the full set looks like when fully unveiled
This is up there with the Cardinals' cracking egg from a few years ago
Oooh, flashback - forgot about that one
Guess they shouldn't have clicked the "Send" button...anyway it seems better than the rainbow popsicle from the '70's
I'll wait to see the jersey, but liking the new/old hat & logo alot!
i think the cap logo will be the current star logo with the old school H
Moral to the story: Astros can't do anything right nowadays!
http://houstonastros.daportfolio.com/gallery/662715 pretty sure those are the logos and jerseys.
Actually, those don't have the number on the front of the jersey. doesn't have the piping on it either. hm the ones i linked must have been just proposed ones. my mistake
Not even that -- just another fan concept which everyone keeps linking me to
I'll be disappointed if the new Astros uniforms DON'T include the shooting star on the front. Love the classic "H-Star" logo for the caps, too. I'd like to see an orange cap with navy bill as well.
I agree...love the classic H-star hat and unis, but hope/wish they would include the shooting star above the name.
Not bad, but should of just gone w/ this years' shooting star throwbacks. Too orange-heavy. I thought those were perfect.
I'm not a big fan of the orange bill on the cap, but everything else is an improvement over the brick reds the Astros have been using for the past decade.
Isn't that the purpose of a "teaser", to give you a little, but not the whole thing?
If you look at the original graphic at the top, it's clear they didn't intend to tease nearly as much as they did when taking the photo into Photoshop.
If these are on fact the new jerseys, they look great. However just place the star where the number is and we're cool. An orange brim on the home cap is a good idea and have all navy on the road or vice versa. And please include an orange alternate cap.
Can't tell but does it look like there is a 2nd pipping stripe on the ends of the collars and sleeves like the SD Padres?
I'm not seeing the second stripe, I think it's just the quality of the image gives the impression
I really like what I see so far! Very consistent with Chris' previous report along with a few surprises like the orange piping and navy hat with orange visor. I would expect that we would also have a solid navy hat and additionally an alternate jersey or two plus the batting practice jersey/hat combo. Really would like to see the shooting star but it isn't a deal breaker for me. I would go out and buy a jersey and hat right now based on what I have seen with this teaser image. Go Astros!
If this image is accurate, I am quite pleased... I was hoping they would adopt their previous hat... I was hoping for a complete copy of the astros earlier uniforms with the shooting star, but what they've potentially done is nowhere near as offensive as I was worried about... I may even buy an astros hat!
Looks good to me. I can not stand the new wave of absurdity in college football and glad to see a modest uniform.
It don't matter if its new school shooting star or old school H star HOUSTONE owns the star now
When it comes to a star, Dallas owns it... well, the Cowboys do at least
Was I the only one who found the 2000's Astros uniforms looked really sharp? Why do they have to ditch it? I understand they're ringing in a new era and going retro is the "in" thing to do amongst organizations, but I don't think they should ditch their current design, in this case.
These are beyond boring and too old school for me. Also, not a fan of bi-colored caps.
Primary from that concept is somewhat close -- rest of the set is wrong
Yeah, anything linking to DaPortfolio or Behance was done by me, actually posted them over on the boards first. Nothing in that project was used by the Astros.
These threads look fine (especially if an orange hat will be thrown in as an alternate as well), but I am wondering about the new overall logo (so not the one on the hat): will it be changed or not?
Rumour has it the H star logo will be back, but in a modernized form. I think the bi-coloured looks fine but only use it as either a home or road cap. An orange cap, considering it's part of the Astros ilk should be included, but only as an alternate. Kind of like their rivals from North Texas do with their caps.
And by the way, what's wrong with their current mascot. I know it's not much of a space theme, but I think whatever animal it's supposed to depict emulates Texas well. If anything, they should have a secondary mascot with a space travel theme.
As far a bi-coloured caps go, they work in certain situations... Navy cap with red brim, green and gold, sometimes royal Blue with red works. Even black and orange works. Yellow and black or powder blue and navy. Red on black or navy blue would work sometimes depending on the team and how it's executed. With the Reds, they're current road caps look out of place. Dark blue with black brim, doesn't really work. Reversed, possibly. The Mets black on blue brimmed caps actually didn't look terrible, same with the Royals version of that cap. The Rangers royal on black brimmed caps, enh. Navy on orange, I don't think they'd look so bad. I'd have to see it in action.
As an Astros fan, if this is what the new uniform is, I'm disappointed. I don't like the bill to be a different color than the hat. Was hoping they'd have one orange one and one blue one. Also, I don't mind piping, but navy blue would work better, I think. Finally, the script S looks traditional block style; nothing creative or unique. The Astros font should have a motion effect to it. I was hoping for a modernized font with the shooting star, but underneath rather than above the Astros script. I'm hoping this isn't actually the new uniform, but I guess we'll find out soon enough. I do like the return to blue/orange and to the star with the H over it.
The orange piping if it comes into fruition would look great. In fact, if you put that with navy piping, it look even more unique. Too many teams already have navy piping. The Astros are known for having unique uniform styles. I'm surprised they never used orange pinstripes in their last uniforms.
That orange piping will look even cooler if the players wear a navy shirt underneath the jersey. Love the H-star logo, especially if it's modernized as expected.
Love the two-tone hat, the h-star logo is great and should have never been dropped in the first place. Can't wait to buy this hat...will it be available soon after the launch?
I really wish it had the shooting star, but I like what I see so far. I live the old school piping. I have been wanting something like this for a while. I wish they would keep the current star logo but with the orange/navy color scheme. I can't wait for the unveiling. Go Stros!
I like it remind me of the pre rainbow era can't wait to see the logo.
As an Astros fan, I was hoping for something a bit better, such as the new design that is on the web, with the round crest and star underneath "ASTROS" with navy hat. That design is awesome!
That will a shame if the uniform turns out to be plain and boring. They have had some bits and pieces to pick, choose, blend and modernize from their past looks. I sent a request to Jim Crane to show him a version I did about 5-7 years ago. He said no. The league was doing the design and they could not accept unsolicited designs. I used the Navy and orange colors with a futuristic font style. Oh well.
Would you like to show me that design please? I just want to see what we could or could've been dealing with for the Astros. If it's anything like the mid to late 90's, that would probably suit this team well.
I, personally, like the current cap logo. The H with the star is ugly, uncreative and symbolizes a losing baseball era in Houston. The Nolan Ryan identity with the cap is the only thing I can think of that would result in some form of nostalgia but he is the owner of a division rival so ... bump that!
The H-star logo is classic, way better than the current star...all of you complaining probably got tattoos of the current star and now you're butthurt. Rockets need to take note and go back to the championship logo.
Bob, Butthurt? What are you, 12? Can we please speak like adults... ? I grew up with the old star and H logo but don't like it; I'd much prefer the current logo, and no, I don't have it tattooed anywhere on my body.
No I'm not 12 it's just a funny expression, guess you don't watch Workaholics... Don't know how anyone doesn't like the old H-star logo, I do like the 90's blue and gold uniforms but the brick red was terrible.
I'd rather have a more plain look than all the stupid, jumbled designs we see now a days. I just kinda wish they weren't moving to the AL, they've been fixtures of the NL for awhile now, I think they got a raw deal...and I'm a Giants fan. :/
I agree with you on the whole AL/NL raw deal with the Astros. It should be the Rockies. But maybe the Astros will have better luck in the AL. Hey come to think of it, teams like the Seahawks, Brewers have had luck swapping conferences.
Bring back ORBIT the mascot!!! He was definitely better than Junction Jack and deserves to be THE mascot for the Astros. I'd like to see an all-orange hat too, not so big on the two-tone hats for my MLB team.
Crappy jerseys for a horrible team. I'm a big fan of old skool/traditional jerseys, however these are too plain. That's just my opinion.
Saw depiction of new Astros uni's at houstonastros.daportfolio.com/gallery/1662715. Are these an earlier version of the ones that were finally approved?
Normally I don't read post on blogs, however I would like to say that this write-up very pressured me to try and do it! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thanks, very nice post.

The Members Club board of the Newcastle Knights will ask Nathan Tinkler to walk away from the franchise
- The Sunday Telegraph
- December 16, 2012
Nathan Tinkler will be asked to hand over control of the Newcastle Knights on Monday by giving the club's NRL licence back to the Members Club board.
With his billion-dollar asset-rich empire crumbling by the day, it is understood the coal baron will be told to cut ties and walk away for the good of the Newcastle club and community.
The most important meeting in the 24-year history of the Knights will take place at the offices of Bilbie Dan solicitors, the workplace of Knights Members Club chairman Nicholas Dan, on Monday.
Given the Australian Tax Office has commenced wind-up proceedings against Tinkler for a $2.7 million debt, and the NSW Government is suing him for $600,000 in unpaid rent on Hunter Stadium, the Knights Members Club board has been presented with little alternative.
For the sake of the Knights brand and the future of the club, the irrefutable damage about bills being constantly paid late must end here.
It is understood Tinkler will be asked to part ways with his $20 million bank guarantee and allow the Members Club board to take over the licence and the day-to-day running of the NRL club immediately.
Knights Members Club board chairman Dan was guarded when asked about the proposition, saying: "Our top priority is to keep the club going at its best, so we will be discussing all options.
"Owners come and go, players come and go but the club must always come first.
"Our number one prerogative will be to ensure the club will always have a presence in the NRL for our loyal supporters to follow.
"We owe it to the community to explore all options."
Behind the scenes, ex-Newcastle players in the Knights Old Boys club and other Novocastrian powerbrokers have been privately preparing for Tinkler's empire to implode for months.
It has been revealed ex-CEO Steve Burraston and ex-chairman Rob Tew - the white knight who was staunch on the terms of Tinkler's $20 million bank guarantee - have both been approached about an immediate return.
Under the terms of Tinkler's 10-year $100 million takeover, the white whale promised to bring in $10 million in sponsorship a season, stump up a $20 million bank guarantee and tip $2.5 million a year into junior development in the Hunter region.
Failure to deliver on any one of those safeguards is technically a breach of Tinkler and HSG's privatisation contract, meaning the Knights Members Club board can trigger an option to buy back the club for $1 and start drawing on the bank guarantee.
Tinkler also agreed to allow independent auditors to put a fine-tooth comb through the Knights' books every 12 months, with a detailed report to be handed over to the Members Club by December 15 every year.
That date passed this weekend but the auditors - Crosby, Warren and Sinclair - only began to examine the Knights books last Tuesday.
Another round of crisis talks last week bought HSG an extension on the audit date until January 21 and the $20 million bank guarantee was supposedly pushed out to January 31.
But given the ATO commenced wind-up proceedings last Thursday, all previous bets may now be called off by the Knights Members Club.
There is also growing concern in Newcastle about the way HSG does business, with bills repeatedly paid late. The Newcastle Rugby League club is reportedly owed $300,000, which is a breach of Tinkler's privatistaion contract if it remains unpaid.
Online forums were lit up on Saturday with Knights members urging Tinkler to cut his losses and hand back control of the club.
Follow the action. Like Fox Sports.

Tinkler, my heart goes out to yopu and your family. It is unfair the way the media tearing you apart like this. No one in media has any idea about the pain, frustration and depression you must be going through. Businesses are being wound up left right and centre. And the media are having them for breakfast. The economy has turned for the worst and there aint nothing you can do.

What a bunch of low life maggots. Take his money, first sign of a wobble and they want him to bail. Dump them Tinkler, and the NRL should dump this leeching city of any club, they have proven time and time again they aren't willing to back their team with their own money.
Be Careful of What you ask for says December 16, 2012 at 2:17 PM
Tinkler is just paying his bills late, why would he even consider leaving the club and giving away $20 mil ? I think if he does walk he will take his money and the club will sink. It would be hard to see a league loving city like Newcastle lose their club but some others may be better to be left to fall and allow new clubs in league heartlands such as Central coast and Ipswich get a crack.
LARRY JONES of Newcastle says December 16, 2012 at 4:26 PM
see ya - wouldn't wanna be ya! of sydney says December 16, 2012 at 4:38 PM
tinklier can't just take the $20mil, its an indemnity guarantee witht he knights as the favouree.. if any of ticklers obligations aren't met, the knights have the right to claim the guarantee. in particular, has tinkler put 2.5million into local junior rugby league as promised? not sure but i wouldn't think so, he can't pay for horse feed up at his stables its safe to assume he hasn't put 2.5mil into junior footy. another point, keep the clubs financials in order and have audited figures ready for the knights board by mid december - well he failed here too, and wants them to extend it out to feb/march... another fail.. outstanding payments to the ATO, to venues nsw in stadium rent etc... thats another fail... so the knights have the right to ask him to leave, and they will probably have the right to make a pretty big claim on a lot, if not all of that $20mil bank guarantee. he's made some good business decisions, and some bad ones - unfortunately as it turns out more bad then good... he's also been very silly with his money.... very little of his asset is actually cash - its all in the ground.. or tied up in equipment.. knights are best to cut him loose.. take their money & run!

luapa of btown says December 16, 2012 at 5:36 PM
Tinkler has brought it on himself, by investing heavily in the racing industry and having no cash flow. He got all this money and turned into a kid in a candy store. Having said that, the Knights should be a little more patient.
Make the tough calls you NRL pansies says December 16, 2012 at 7:20 PM
The NRL need to grow some balls here and re-visit the criteria of established clubs as well as potential teams. How many years are we going to see the same clubs given advances and hand outs to survive? How many years will the Storm last with $15 million LESS than what they are used to being given? Have a 3 strikes policy. You come with your hand out 3 times, your out. The Knights, Titans and Sharks wouldn't see out the current TV deal such is their poor finances. Before all the idiots tell me how asset rich the Sharks are, have a look at Tinkler and see where your future is when you struggle to make your repayments on your massive development loans ala Titans Centre of Excellence. Perth, Central QLD, Brisbane and the Central Coast MUST be given a chance next time around. Time to offer only 4 Sydney licenses in the next competition so the Roosters/Rabbits/Tigers can merge. The Panther/Eels and Wests can merge. The Sharks/Dragons/Illawarra/Bulldogs can merge and Manly can hit the Central Coast/Hunter region.

Hard Days Knight says December 17, 2012 at 7:25 AM
This is ridiculous the Knights members board expect him to come in pay off all their debits, provide them with wayne bennett who has drawn quality players to the team and got their memberships up to the 3rd largest in the NRL. Now they expect him to just hand back the Knights at a substantiel loss. If he is any type of business man he wouldnt do that. The man is not broke hes just suffered huge losses and is still worth over 500 million in assets. Its was the Knights board that demanded they be bought for 100 million. Tinkler has done nothing but help the club despite all the road blocks they have put up. The word ungreatful definately comes to mind.
Rabbits are fine says December 17, 2012 at 8:21 AM
Where it's been coming from for years now 'Cattledog of Central coast'.. rental investments, season ticket holders, ANZ payments etc etc. Unlike most clubs the Rabbits don't rely on pokies, they don't rely on Crowe and HaC as much as people think. They might lend the club money with interest at times but it's not the end of the world servicing a loan.

These shoes are great! For heels I find them comfortable and easy to wear for extended periods of time. Normally I wear a 6 to 6.5, but these I had to buy in a 5.5 so keep that in mind when ordering for yourself.

I'm totally pleased with this shoe. So comfortable & very pretty. I have a issue with balance wearing high heels. I had an event to attend and bought this shoe to go with my gown. It was so easy to walk in. I would recommend this shoe. I wish they came in more colors that is how much I love them!

I got these shoes for prom, and they are exactly what I am looking for. The silver is beautiful and sparkles all different colors, so if you are looking for a solid silver shoe this probably isn't for you. But it you want something sparkly then they're perfect. The heel is a comfortable height and the shoes feel good on the feet. I agree with the other reviews on the size difference though -- make sure you order at least a half size smaller than normal. Overall a great shoe.

These shoes are absolutely stunning in person. The way the light reflects off of them is so beautiful! They do run a bit big, so I suggest ordering 1/2 smaller. However, because my toes look all squished in the peep toe, unfortunately I will be returning. They also seem like they would be pretty comfy!

Graphic Artists have their Designs on Success
POMPTON LAKES, NJ---There is no question that Cheryl and Joel Finger have their designs on success. As owners of Graphic Innovations, a full-service graphic design company based in Pompton Lakes, the couple has had their share of successes as entrepreneurs since they started their business in 1986.
After receiving their degrees from the School of Visual Arts, they started as freelance graphic artists in the early 80's and eventually worked together at an ad agency. When the agency lost a major client, Cheryl and Joel were let go. They continued to work together, eventually forming a partnership in business and later in marriage. Cheryl is the president of the company and Joel is the creative director. "Joel came from the corporate side working for Mercedes Benz and I came from the ad agency side," said Cheryl. "We both have different styles, yet we each bring something to the table; it works for us."
Cheryl has always been the one to market the company's services to potential clients. "Marketing to prospective clients and getting client referrals were all we really needed," said Cheryl. "That all changed quickly for us when there was a sudden downturn in the economy three years ago. We found that we had to ask ourselves some tough questions. Questions like where are we? And where do we want to go? We opted to stay in the game."
"We realized that corporate work was changing and that we were losing ground there," said Cheryl. "So we looked at different revenue streams and we started to look into government contracting."
To help them sort through the maze of different government contracting programs, Cheryl turned to the New Jersey Small Business Development Center's (NJSBDC) Procurement Center located at Rutgers University in Newark. The program receives funding from the U.S. Small Business and the state of New Jersey in order to help small business owners who have questions on how to obtain government contracts. It was there that Cheryl met with center director Stephanie Burroughs who provided Cheryl with some guidance and advice on how to get started.
One piece of advice that Burroughs provided Cheryl with was to get registered on the GSA Schedule. "Becoming a Schedules contractor involves significant investments of time and resources," said Burroughs. "I tell all our clients that their first step is to think it through and to ask themselves the following questions: Do the products and/or services you offer fit with a Schedules solicitation? Can your pricing structure compete with current contractors on GSA Schedules?
For Cheryl and Joel, the answers to those questions were a resounding yes. In order to expedite the process they hired GSA consultant Bob Griffin of Keynote Connections of Dobbs Ferry, NY to make sure they got on the GSA Schedule. "By working with Bob, we were able to get on the GSA Schedule in 10 weeks," said Cheryl. "We are now on the GSA Schedule 541 with ..erervices Administration and are able to compete for federal contracts in our field."
The move has certainly paid off for Cheryl and Joel. "Being on the GSA Schedule has allowed us to receive three contracts from the U.S. Department of Justice," said Cheryl. "The contracts called for us to do photography work of the different departments under the Department of Justice. One contract was quite an elaborate set-up at the Brooklyn Court House involving 150 Department of Justice employees."
Cheryl and Joel hope it is just the first of many contracts that they receive as a result of being on the GSA Schedule. Today, the firm offers its government and corporate clients a wide array of graphic arts services from their boutique design studio that includes logotypes, branding, illustration, photography, advertising, newsletters, annual reports, point of purchase materials, website design/development, environmental graphics, digital graphics and flash design. Some of Graphic Innovations' clients include Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Glatt Air Techniques, and Ridgewood Dentistry to name a few.
"We help our clients by bringing extensive industry experience to the table without the high price tag of a large agency" said Joel. "Savvy buyers are thrilled to find the high quality work and personal service that have become synonymous with the Graphic Innovations name."
According to SBA New Jersey District Director Al Titone, the GSA Schedules program offers great opportunities for small businesses. "The U.S. government is the world's largest buyer of products and services," said Titone. "Nearly $200 billion a year is spent on purchasing everything from complex space vehicles to janitorial services and paper clips; so why not graphics arts services? Being on the Schedule makes it easier for federal agencies to do business with small businesses like Graphic Innovations."
"The process can be daunting, but our partnership with the New Jersey Small Business Development Center's Procurement Center enables us to offer the proper guidance that small business owners like Cheryl and Joel Finger need," said Titone. "The real credit belongs to them for taking the necessary steps to get on the Schedule and for positioning their company to compete for federal government contracts."
"Our strategy going forward is to actively seek teaming partnerships with other small businesses who will afford us the opportunity to work and compete for additional federal contracts," said Cheryl. "Sometimes teaming and subcontracting can lead to receiving additional contracts, as the government likes to award projects to those who provide total solutions."
It's a great strategy for seasoned entrepreneurs, who have their designs on success.

Gov hopeful Paladino: They can't shut me down
- Posted: 7:20 PM, April 5, 2010
The Buffalo real estate developer, neophyte pol and longshot gubernatorial hopeful stared out into the crowd of what appeared to be hundreds at the Ellicott Square Building atrium and vowed to be a one-term governor.
"l'll take the punches and I won't be worrying about popularity and reelection," he said, adding he would declare a fiscal state of emergency immediately -- something Steve Levy has also pledged to do -- and said he would cut spending and taxes by 10 percent in the first six months (he didn't spell out whether it's 10 percent combined, or 10 percent each).
"Are you mad? Are you mad as hell? Are you gonna take it anymore?" he railed, assailing "Prince Cuomo" and saying the attorney general is avoiding taking a stand on "Obamacare."
"He's probably squirming under a rock someplace trying to figure out how he's gonna get out of this one," he said, adding, "Isn't it funny how he (seems) to miss all the corruption in Albany right under his nose?"
He also said the "smear" efforts against him would begin, taunting, "Carl's a bad guy, he's a mad man, he's a racist ... when they attack me, they attack you."
Other choice quotes included: "We're gonna unhinge the Albany ruling class."
* "Some of the people that I'm opposing think that they're entitled ... 'My daddy was a governor.'"
* "We're gonna put (the Albany leaders) on a bus."
* "You failed our school children? You're fired"
There was also this one, which had a certain truth to it, about why he's getting under people's skin: "They can't shut me down. I paid for this microphone"
Paladino has vowed to spend $10 million of his own money. While no one gives him much of a chance of victory, he could buy an awful lot of paid media to get his message out, and spend time bashing Cuomo in the process.

5 reasons you should do one-on-one discipleship
March 15, 2012 § 5 Comments
Occasionally I'm asked why the Discipleship Networks promote one-on-one discipleship as the basic building block of the Christian life and ministry. Some feel they aren't called, aren't gifted, or don't have the spiritual maturity, biblical knowledge, or time for one-on-one discipleship. I'll address those issues in another post, but some have also questioned the importance of one-on-one discipleship on biblical grounds. It's been suggested (correctly) that there's no evidence of Jesus engaging in one-on-one discipleship, though he did have one-on-one encounters. For the most part, Jesus' discipleship took place in the context of a small group of 12 men.
It's also been suggested that the large number of new believers who entered the church on the Day of Pentecost were simply the fruit of the Holy Spirit and Peter's street preaching. Discipleship followed this growth. It didn't precede it.
Good points.
Here's why I still maintain that every believer and every leader should engage in personal, one-on-one discipleship.
- Discipleship, as Jesus modeled it, requires "doing life" together. For most of us, sharing life communally with 12 other people isn't an option. But we can share life with a few other people in one-on-one relationships. When small groups are the primary vehicle for discipleship, it's too easy for it simply to become a Bible study. Focusing on one-on-one discipleship keeps it real, life-based, and relational.
- Without one-on-one discipleship it's too easy to justify all ministry as discipleship. When preaching, teaching Sunday school, training leaders, and leading small group Bible studies are all discipleship, then everything becomes discipleship. When everything is discipleship, nothing is discipleship. All ministry should promote discipleship and equip for discipleship, but promoting and equipping for it isn't the same as doing it.
- For disciple-making movements to start, discipleship must always be primarily a grass-roots ministry. Group-based discipleship puts the disciple-making responsibility in the hands of the leaders. Local churches must envision effective discipleship at the grass-roots level, equip people for such discipleship, expect multi-generational discipleship, and model it among the leaders.
- Discipleship principles are best learned in the context of relationships rather than the context of Bible studies. It's in the close context of a one-on-one relationship that we see God's transforming work, we learn how to apply the Bible to real-life situations, we learn how to hear the voice of the Spirit, and we experience the cost of discipleship. One-on-one discipleship is one of the most effective ways for a disciple-maker to grow. Pastors who are making disciples one-on-one preach differently than those who aren't.
- One-on-one discipleship gets the disciple-maker out of the church. It is difficult for most of us to gather groups of unchurched people to hear the gospel, explore the Bible, and encounter God. But we can do it one-on-one. Allowing small group discipleship to dominate our disciple-making ministry probably means that our discipleship will be primarily among those already in the church.
Jesus modeled each of these in a small group of 12. So if you can honestly do it in a small group then go for it! There's nothing more biblical about doing it one-on-one. I'd just ask you to be honest. Are these 5 things really happening in your small group?
One-on-one discipleship can be intimidating and the temptation is always present to justify what we're already doing rather than embrace change. But the rewards of one-on-one discipleship can't be matched. As one pastor confessed to me, "Once I started discipling someone I said to myself, 'This is why I entered ministry!'"
As for the Day of Pentecost, well … yes. The Holy Spirit broke in, the gospel was preached, and 3000 were added to the church in a single day. But remember that the Day of Pentecost was preceded by 3 years of Jesus' equipping the 12 through personal discipleship.

Modern times are filled with almost all days of frustrations, hassles, demands and deadlines. These terms are generally used to refer to the phenomenon called 'stress'. Stress has now become a part of life. With both the men and women going out to work, nuclear families outnumbering joint families, the homes have become, not 'havens of peace', but 'systems of stress'. Stress isn't, though, always bad. To a certain extent, stress is a boon because it motivates one to perform better to give his/her best. But today's scenario augurs for one to always be on an emergency mode, making one's mind and body pay the price.
Actually, the 'fight-flight' response or the 'stress' response helps one to rise up to face the challenges of life. But beyond a point, stress stops being useful and starts causing serious havoc to one's health, productivity, family and relationships. Thus it starts lashing out its dangerous tentacles at the quality of life.
Psychologist Connie Lillas uses a driving analogy to describe how people respond to overwhelming stress in their lives, in three ways:
FOOT ON THE GAS – An angry or agitated stress response. You are heated, keyed up, overly emotional or unable to remain/sit still.
FOOT ON BRAKE – A withdrawn or depressed stress response. You shut down, space out, and show very little energy or emotion.
FOOT ON BOTH – A tense and frozen stress response. You 'freeze' under pressure, and can't do anything. You look paralyzed, but under the surface you're deeply agitated.
Stress becomes a problem when one feels overwhelmed by the things that happen to them. There seems to be too much to deal at one time and one doesn't know for sure how to handle oneself and the situation, at such times.
The stress of parenting, I am sure, many of us realise, far exceeds the levels of stress found in the business world, one's career or workplace. But the good news is that if one can teach oneself the positive ways of handling stress, one can actually improve one's efficiency.
Mismanagement of stress can damage our child's confidence. When we become overly stressed, we feel we don't have enough time, patience and energy to deal with our children. For example,
We can't enough to give time for our child to get ready for school, so we grumble, ending up doing most of the jobs for the child.
We cannot appreciate a creative piece of work our child has accomplished; instead look only at all the mess he/she has made, 'dirtying' the place.
We jump to conclusions, scold/yell at our teenage boy/girl, not giving enough time to listen to what explanation they have to give us for being late in coming home.
Again when overly stressed, we slip into the mode of negative responses, unconsciously copied from our auto parent or wounded child. (Mentioned in one of the earlier articles)
Each one of us reacts to stress in different ways and the amount of stress each one can take, also differs. One parent might find her toddler's tantrums unmanageable while another parent will still remain in her saintly trance. One can easily manage to overcome her stress over a cup of coffee/tea or a hot shower while another may need an hour's seclusion in her room, listening to soothing music to her ears.
Negative stress reactions in us could be because of imbalances in our physical health, emotional states, mental functioning or our behavior or response to situations around us.
We can easily 'catch' red handed, symptoms of our individual 'tell tale' signs of stress. Make a list of such tell tale signs which could indicate our stress patterns. These signs have an insidious habit of creeping up on us gradually without us realizing that we are under a strain. That is why we see that overly stressed people sometimes cannot say 'no' to the mounting pressures in them, they fall into the trap, and land up becoming more stressed over a given/recurring situation. One must be beware of such situations.
'The time to relax is when you don't have any time for it' – Sydney Harris.

STRESS everyone experience but the reaction differs from man to man .The best way to cope up with stress is to realise, it is inevitable but can be managed with tact and meticulous planning.Nothing in this world is more valuable than your health and your family.To reduce stress ,prioritise the work and do one by one.Balance your work and family intelligently.

San Jose-based artist Sam Rodriguez was kind enough to find the time for an in-depth interview. I first met him earlier this year, when he was visiting LA for the Sesame Street group exhibit at Known Gallery. Brandon Shigeta was shooting his sketchbook for Hypebeast, so I got to see some of Sam's work up close and in person. He created some sketches on the spot too, which was nothing short of impressive. Since then my appreciation for his artistic abilities has only increased. Sam might be best known for his intricate "dissected faces," but he's really versatile, and employs a wide range of media and styles. Scroll down to check out some of his recent work and find out what makes this talented creative tick…
Where are you today? I'm at home in my room which is also my art/design studio.
What are you working on? I'm working on a painting that will be reproduced and printed on eyewear frames in collaboration with a new company named Look/See.
What was your first introduction to art? First was introduced to art through Looney Toons and album cover art.
When did you decide to pursue it as a career? I decided to pursue art as a career in my early 20′s. I've had several jobs since I was a kid, at places doing 'regular' work, cleaning, selling, hauling etc. I guess I realized I wanted to pursue art as a career when I first learned that it was a career choice. Growing up, no one ever mentioned this option, and I didn't know anyone who had a career as an artist. Once I knew it was a possibility, I thought I could pursue it myself…why not?!
Did you study art formally or are you self taught? I learned on my own, and have also received a formal education. The first years of my learning experience were through graffiti, and later I decided to go to school. I don't think you can ever know enough, and I have much to study and accomplish still.
How would you describe your personal style? I do make an effort not to stick to one style, but I guess in someway it's one's own identity, and you'll never shake that aspect. I try to make each piece relevant to the moment. In my experience, I've learned that style constantly develops and is relative to many factors including time, space, and the content you're working on. This is just like us as people, in that it involves a transformative process. With that said, my personal style is, and may always be, in progress. I think it's much more helpful for viewers to describe their impressions of mine or anyone's style in that they see it with a unique perspective.
Are there any themes or concepts you're exploring in your art? Yeah, I'm working on an ongoing series that I'm very excited about. The body of work studies questions and ideas of classification and identity. I am intrigued by visual and social catalogues and their relativity to one's own experience and learned perspective. I have observed this in so many aspects of day-to-day living, as I'm sure everyone else has in their own way. For example, here in the U.S., I am legally considered "Hispanic," in Mexico, I am an "American," and to some folks, I've been considered Middle-Eastern, European, and even part Asian! Visually, the perception of one's identity, or how we identify with a given sight, changes from one perspective to another. There are countless ethnicities, cultures, genres, styles, chemicals, and elements that have meshed together throughout world history, so fusion literally drives the universe. This has inspired me to paint study portraits of dissected faces using visual ingredients and cues, similar to a land map and all its imposed borders.
What are some of the major highlights in your work/portfolio so far? Major highlights in my work for me are the most current paintings that I'm working on. That's my personal opinion, but viewers may think other projects are more highlight-worthy. Again, it's all about perspective.
Can you talk about the LA Metro Jefferson station installation and how that came about? The L.A. Metro Jefferson station installation was a huge project for me. This is one of three major permanent public art pieces that I was commissioned to do. In this project, the station is situated between south central L.A. and USC campus, so it is very diverse and dynamic.
Many of us travel in two ways while using public transportation; both physically and in our mind's eye. When we look at something, we may be seeing a face, a light pole, perhaps somebody's shoe, but simultaneously what happens is a mental picture. To capture the nature of public transportation is to crop different and small moments that form together to tell a story.
I wanted to weave a visual narrative that included fragments of building facades, vintage rail cars, human figures, and fictional characters. Each art panel is visually divided by the silhouette of bike frames, resembling the layout of a comic book. I drew on imagery associated with bicycles, to emphasize the human powered modes of transport along the line. Each panel is an invitation to engage the mind in a playful fantasy along the route between starting point and destination.
Where do you find inspiration? I find inspiration from many different things, and this changes all of the time. The most important sources of inspiration for me are music and photography. I really enjoy National Geographic photographs in particular.
Besides your own personal art, you do a lot of graphics too, right? Yes, actually, graphics are my main source of income, and I guess you could say my "regular job." But the great news for me is that this is also just as fun as my personal art. I've been fortunate to work with awesome clients that help with creating interesting concepts.
What have you got planned moving forward? Moving forward, I would like to continue exploring the topics in identity that I mentioned above. I think it can manifest into various types of exhibits and published media. I hope that I can work on it in collaboration with other fields, including anthropologists, historians, journalists, photographers, and other media.

Best in town. This place can turn out the food., so fresh, so flavorfull it's hard to describe. Baltazar is a real kick, and knows how to treat his regulars.
The best Mexican food in the world!!!!. We go there all the time . We are locals and it is truely the best and I travel all over and it's even better then a New York restaurant. Baltazar is a real mench!!! We order the same thing every time because it is sooooo good. The seafood mix ta. Big succulent shrimp, halibut grilled to perfection and the mushrooms are grilled and so juicy. It is really a treat every time we go. We love you Baltazar!!!!!
The best Mexican food in town!. I went there with my 6 year old son and my sister with her 8 year old son and we had the best service. They took special attention to make my son and nephew as welcome as we were. My asada tasted so good, my mouth starts watering thinking about it, and there was so much of it. I took left overs home for my lunch. My sister had the Crab enchiladas they had so much crab and not just small pieces but big claw chunks, again she took hers home for lunch too. The food took a little to come, but found out everything was made to order. The prices are fair for the amount of food. I HIGHLY recommend going back I know I will be!
Big on Arrogance with no customer service. I can't honestly write about the food because we never sat down to eat. But if the customer service is anywhere close to the food, the food must be awful. We tried for two days to make a reservation and nobody ever answered the phone. There was an answering machine where we left numerous messages requesting a reservation and left a message a number of times and never heard back. We finally decided to just go at the time we requested. We were met be the owner who had not heard of us and said he never heard a message and he doesn't use the message machine. First question was why have a machine then if you never use it. He went off on another diatribe about how busy he was. He then just got rude and followed us out into the parking lot yelling and screaming at us. Also found out he did not want to seat us due to our 6 year old daughter. I have been at numerous resort towns and customer service has always been outstanding (answering phones, being polite and catering to families). This owner was rude and arrogant and I will never step foot in this place. I suggest you do the same and stay away. We went to Longbard Louie's and had better service and great food for less attitude and less money. STAY AWAY from this place. The rumors are true.

HomeSightingsTanzania WildlifeKlein's CampI caught you Dad!
In the heart of Maasai territory on the north-eastern boundary of the Serengeti National Park is a private concession of 10 000 hectares, set aside for the exclusive use of Klein's Camp's 20 guests. The spectacular location of the camp on the edge of the Kuka Hills commands sweeping views across a broad valley through which the annual great migration passes.
The playfulness of young lions is always an amazing sighting. This young lion stalked the dominant male for about 2 minutes and then pounced on his back, showing that play time is practice time.

NBC Sets Staggered Fall Schedule, Will Air Two Shows Commercial-Free
The network will use its Olympics platform to launch freshman comedies "Animal Practice" and "Go On" and kick off its Dick Wolf-Mark Burnett reality series "Stars Earn Stripes" as well as Season 2 of "Grimm" on the Monday after the Closing Ceremony.
NBC is making the most of its Olympics platform, scheduling commercial-free previews of two of its highly anticipated freshman comedies during the London Games.
Announcing its fall 2012 schedule, the network will preview its Matthew Perry comedy Go On following Olympics coverage on a special night, Wednesday, Aug. 8, with its Justin Kirk half-hour Animal Practice also scheduled for a preview on Sunday, Aug. 12, following the Closing Ceremony.

Following the Olympics, NBC will launch celebrity military-challenge reality competition series Stars Earn Stripes, from executive producers Mark Burnett (Survivor) and Dick Wolf (Chicago Fire) on Monday, Aug. 13, with a two-hour premiere starting at 8 p.m. Season 2 of genre drama Grimm will follow at 11 p.m. with a special premiere ahead of its Friday time-slot bow on Sept. 14.

At least tax breaks go toward investments, infrastructure, productivity, expansion, and job creation. On the other hand, the freebies and social programs only promote underachievement and expansion of the dependent class.

this was delicious, though as the previous reviewer mentioned, there is no chile in the recipe. the beef is intensely orange-y and I think it could have benefited from some spice. luckily, serving it with the sambal kecap also featured in this story really rounds out the flavors.
You can't title a dish 'Chile-rubbed' anything unless there's chile in it. That's like a recipe for pork-fried rice that contains no pork.
Sadly, once again, Saveur editors can't seem to get it from the page to the web.
