One person who gives me hope in SA is: Nicky Kemele Nicky is one of our 33 amazing foster mothers at Home from Home - an organisation which sets up and runs supported and supervised community based foster homes for vulnerable children in the Western Cape. Nicky was our very first foster mother when we started Home from Home ten years ago in 2005. Nicky, who was working as a nanny for a family in Fish Hoek, started volunteering at a children's home in Khayelitsha where she lives, in 2003. That¹s where she first found out about becoming a foster mom with Home from Home. Nicky says that she was inspired to foster by her own mother back in the Eastern Cape. Her mom had been orphaned at the age of two, and was bought up by other people, often under very cruel circumstances, and at one stage ended up living outside eating with the dogs as no one was caring for her properly. Believing that no child should have to grow up as her mother did, Nicky wanted to make a difference in the lives not just of children who needed a loving home, but also to make a difference in her own and her mom's life. And she has done just that. Five children who came into her care in 2005 are still with her today, together with another girl who joined their family in 2010. Nicky loves her foster children just as much as she loves her own grown up children. Two years ago, Nicky's mom died, but she was so proud of what her daughter had achieved; creating a loving family home for children who have no families of their own. Though Nicky's story is a one-off, our other 32 foster mothers all have their own reasons for taking on this most precious of challenges - caring for children who are not their own by birth. Sadly, there are many children in South Africa who need foster care and a place to call home. Nicky and her sisterhood of foster mothers give us all hope in this incredible country of ours.

So by now you know that there is a book launch on the way [19 and 21 March in Cape Town] and spots are filling up and held by RSVP so make sure you book a spot or show interest for the S West/Stell home launch to be announced.
But what is it all about? Besides church…
Well, with three weeks to go, i thought i would drop a little bit of a teaser so you can get an idea.
In many ways this is a book written for people who love Jesus but have been hurt by the church somewhere along the way and so are a little wary of being associated with one any more… trying to be 'christians without church'…
In other ways this is a book written for those who attend a church service once a week and yet are not necessarily seeing the transformation in their lives and in the lives of those around them and so on some senses might have slipped into a kind of 'going through the motions'…
And for everyone in between, this is hopefully a challenge or an encouragement or a breath of fresh air or some inspiration towards some ways you can get your creativity on in terms of life to the full and seeing the kingdom of God grow itself here on earth as it is in heaven.
Not all of it is for everyone, but if you are a follower of Jesus, then i'm pretty sure there is at least something in here for you, hopefully of a significant nature.
Here is a short taste from early on in the book.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
'That is maybe how it is with the church sometimes. That it is not always intentional. Sometimes it is just through not saying it as opposed to deliberately holding it back. Usually it is because the church is made up of messy, broken people who have been hurt and who hurt, all the while trying to get it right, for the most part.
And so we end up at a place that, if we're completely honest with ourselves, looks a lot like Augustine might have suggested when he said, "The church is a whore, but she's my mother". One of the biggest problems we face, I think, is that some people get way too hung up on "the church is a whore" part while others get way too protective of the "church is my mother" bit. So we are left with a 'them' and an 'us' no matter which side we stand:
# The church is the best thing in the world, ever.
# The church is the worst thing in the world, ever.
Both sides are right. And both sides are wrong.
The purpose of this book is to hopefully invite each side to take a few steps close to "the other" so that we can move away from that kind of language and mindset altogether. There are enough people both inside and outside the church, who are quick to throw stones at it. Whether we see it as the building or the people or the meeting or the tradition, it has become an easy target.
What is going to be more helpful is if we can take a step back from the muck, put any kind of frustrations or anger or resentment or bitterness aside, and start to look a little harder, listen a little more closely and return to the One who this church thing is all about. Maybe then we'll truly be able to kiss hating [or just really, really, really not liking] the church goodbye.
You see, it was never meant to be a concept… or an organisation… or a meeting… it was meant to be an organism – living, breathing, causing revolution, pointing people towards Jesus, and turning the world on its head.
Maybe you don't see it like that. Maybe you've never seen it like that. I urge you to read this book with an open mind. Head back with me to scripture and see what God says about the church – His plan and idea and mission for it.
Because maybe once you've really seen that, you will find a whole host of new reasons to love being an active engaging communitytransforming member of this living Church.'
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
i would love to see you at one of the Book Launches… and if you're in KZN or even Oakland, USA, get hold of me, cos we are hoping to be dropping in there for a book share of your own…
[For an excellent post on the idea of your church map possibly being wrong, take a read of this one]
My friend, Michael Toy, who lives in Americaland and is a real person writes some incredible poetry that speaks deeply into things and as i am slowly working my way through his book i thought it was time to share another gem – this is taken from the book, 'Blame it on the Huehuetenango' which you should order online cos he has such an incredible gift at this kind of thing:
christian men and christian women
christian men and christian women
often hae sex, and find it to be
an excellent sort of thing to do
we are very careful, however,
to never discuss this activity
using any language which
might bring to mind
the slightest hint of
the remembered or anticipated
the emotion or the experience
even words like "evocative" and "nuance"
are avoided, being a little bit
too dangerous.
christian men and christian women
often stand in a room with
a thousand strangers singing
all unfettered adjectives and adverbs
of overwhelmed beauty and
longing for a completion
which shatters the secret soul
and fulfills creation
stretching out their hands
to touch the divine
oh, to be the beautiful bride
on the night she finally
gives herself to her lover
christian men and women
this is one reason why
people sometimes
don't take us seriously
= = = = = = = = = =

Anyone can point out real evil, the genuine kind of evil that is actually evil [and knows it!] and there is clearly enough of it in the world to go around…
But what takes real skill and precision is being able to discern the evil that not everybody notices – the more subtle evil that parades itself right in front of peoples' faces and which most people will be able to stare directly at without flinching. or even giving it a second thought.
This particular type of evil is usually to be found in different types of so-called food, although on occasion is may take on other forms and it is high time that somebody drew some attention to it.
Don't be alarmed if this list does not seem quite right to you – with this particular brand of evil, everyone will have their own list, but you may nod your head somberly at some of the items, knowing that they too would make your own personal list.
What am i talking about? well, in an absolutely overwhelmingly particular order [as this list is completely relative] from not quite so evil to absolutely bastardly evil [oh i know you know what that is going to be] i'm talking about The Evil List Feb 2015. i have decided to make it date specific as i imagine tastes and fears change and something that seemed really quite evil may be overtaken by something that was pretending to be just a little evil. But for now this is…
#10 Likes instead of Shares – let's be honest internet people, if you really liked a thing you would share it, liking is along the lines of saying to a new mom, "Your baby has character" when we all know what you really mean. Sharing is, "I might even consider holding your baby if you're absolutely convinced it's not going to throw up on me." Likes is, "I want you to invite me to your birthday party", whereas a Share suggests that, "I am going to invite you to mine!"
#9 Survivor spoilers [or spoilers in general] – maybe take a moment to realise not everyone in the whole world is going to be watching Survivor at the exact same moment as you and so tweeting, "I can't believe Trevoux won!!!!" two seconds after it happens might be unhelpful and ragifying for people, say, watching it on another coast or in another country. The flip side of this is people who do not let you mention what was so significant about the Bruce Willis role in Sixth Sense because they haven't seen it yet. IT'S BEEN 16 YEARS PEOPLE. Spoilers have a statute of limitations. Within a week = too much. Seven years after the fact = you're probably fine.
#8 Traditional Emoticons [this used to just be emoticons but since Facebook brought out angry clam, dancing Snoopy and Fishface man, i think we need to be a little more specific]
#7 Freaky Giant Emoticons [how do you ruin a perfectly evil traditional emoticon? simple – enlarge it 15 times and make it take up my whole message box and seem like it is laughing at me]
#6 Adam Sandler movies. i'm not taking about when he used to be good, like in 'The Wedding Singer' and 'Happy Gilmour' – i'm talking about the last five or ten where he has phoned in the script, casting and acting. Note to self: Stop watching Adam Sandler movies. This one is not the one that will make it all better. Oh and Will Ferrell movies too. He's okay as an animated voice.
#5 "I took the [insert tv programme/movie character/weather pattern/type of Victorian door knob] test and I'm HufflePuff." To be honest, number 5 feels a bit generous to this one. This needs to END RIGHT NOW. You are not going to be Hermione Granger. With your skills, let's face it, 'Guy in Red Shirt' on original Star Trek episode is about the best you have to hope for.
#4 Cat videos. And baby videos. [I understand that you like cats and babies, but i really think there should be some etiquettal law about keeping them on your own page. Although one day i finally will make that video of a kitten riding on the back of a baby and the internet is going to implode] My friend Sam gets a bye on this one, but only as far as cat pictures with fun sayings on them.
#3 Cooked pineapple [actually probably any cooked/stewed fruit but pineapple gets the special nod because it ruins perfectly good bacon-encrusted pizzas. "Hey, this fruit tastes good, let's make it evil by cooking it!"]
#2 Gerkhins and Olives – [i'm not sure they're not the same thing but i would give them an equal quotient of evil points because they ruin otherwise perfect sandwiches and salads and empty jars with weird toilet water in them]
#1 raiSINs [number 1 is unlikely to ever change – it even has the word 'SIN' hidden in the word, that's how obvious this particular one is – and no it doesn't matter if you have them in things or if you have them by themselves or if you lyingly try to convince me "You won't taste them!" They are the evilest of non traditional evil and they must be stopped!] it is a known fact that all squishy fruits are evil and so sultanas, currants, prunes all go into this category, but raiSIN is their king.
Special mention must go to people who push into lines [standing or driving], cigarette butts out of car windows [or litter in general], pepper [yes, the condiment, it literally only makes things taste like pepper], lighting up your cellphone screen during a movie [you had better not be in throwing distance, coins hurt!] and people who only use two words, or even worse, two letters, on your birthday to wish you a happy birthday, [although people who use a sentence or more are right up there in my loves list!]
How do your feel about my evil list? Do you think giant freaky emoticons are not as bad as recent Will Ferrell movies? Would you bump cat videos above the culinary heatment of pineapple? And what items from your evil list didn't feature on mine at all?
So my friend Kevin Smuts [who has been one of my biggest cheerleaders in general life matters over the last three years while we were in Americaland in particular – side note: very encouraging to have cheerleaders! who are you a cheerleader to?] is part of an a capella band that he started called AnecNote [which is an amazing name altho i feel like i contributed at least 87 viable alternatives when they were going through their name-finding phase… so close… i helped weed out the bad ones, perhaps.
Anyways, being Kevin i suspected they would be good. He is a super talented muso and hoping to make movie music some day [pay attention Hans Zimmer!] and i've heard his stuff and i never doubted for a second music-wise it would be any good.
But an a capella band? Apart from Graham and Christine Weir's most incredible Not the Midnight Mass who i got to see live on a few occasions back in the day, what other a capella groups spring to mind? That's right. None. So talent evenings or school shows perhaps, but that's about it.
Anyways, tbV and i got to go to a show on Sunday night after a day of Improv workshopping for me and house-warming for us both and by the time it came to 'going out to social event with a bunch of people we would probably kind of know but mostly not really' we were not super amped. But i did want to see Kev and support the band and so that clinched it i think.
[cue tbV and brett fish being blown away]
Because basically that is what happened. Not only are they musically fit, but they brought the funnest vibe you can imagine and it was a completely insanely amazing evening. Comprising five very different but extremely talented individuals, currently going by the names of Leah Adams, Emma de Goede, Morné Kahts, beatboxer supremo Daniel Nambassi and my main main Kevin Smuts, they rocked the house. If you're in Cape Town, you need to make a plan to see them – having already played at TEDx, Kirstenbosch, 5FM and a bunch of other places.
i have some video clips [and you can find more on their site and on the You Tube] to give you an idea of their talent and diversity, but these really don't do their live performance justice – fun, frivolous, a little bit cheeky and adventurous as they basically finished off the evening pretty much half making up a song and just giving it complete wings.
Here they are covering Titanium by David Guetta ft. Sia:
Then they took a dab at Taylor Swift's Shake It Off:
And finally Problem by Ariana Grande ft. Iggy Azalea
Don't you just want to pick them up and eat them? Well you can't, so stoppit! They have a strict non-cannibalism policy when it comes to themselves as band members. You can however find out a whole lot more about them though…
You can stalk them at their web page over here, on the Tube of Youing over here, on that most Instant of Grams by clicking here, or on the Twitterer as @AnecNote and you can even get hold of an original never-before-worn AnecNote t-shirt to display yourself as a true Groupie or AnecNotie as they are not called.
Have you ever heard AnecNote live? How would YOU describe their gig?
One day, Jesus was walking alongside the Jordan river, when He came upon a man who was so drunk, he was almost incoherent. The man looked up at Jesus and asked Him for some money to buy food. Jesus looked at him and loved him. "Are you willing to give up your drinking to follow Me?" Jesus asked the man.
But the man ignored Jesus' question and once more begged him for some money. "I'm sorry, but I can't help you," Jesus answered, and with a final compassionate smile at the man, He continued on His way.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
i imagine this made-up parable [yes, you won't find this one in the original scriptures] will initiate strong reaction in a lot of people. '
How did it make you feel? Angry? Confused? Ready to jump in to the comments section in full attack mode?
Well, give me a few more minutes and let's look at this story and try understand it a little more.
The idea came to me after tbV and i stopped to chat to and help a man lying on the side of the road the other day. We chatted and i really did struggle to understand him as he had been drinking quite a bit and was not making a lot of sense. Also he was Afrikaans which puts me completely on the back foot, or maybe him when i started attempting to speak it back to him.
It was not a big deal at all – we bought him a meal and got to pray with him and said goodbye. We did not give him money for the train ticket he said he needed.
And as we drove home, it got me thinking, 'What would Jesus do in that situation?' Like really, what would He actually do? Engaging with drunk and homeless people would have been so much easier if we just had the parable to turn to. Oh, there we go. Sorted.
So i decided to write it. You know, to help everyone else who was wondering the same thing.
And the gut feel is that of course Jesus would have helped the man and possibly healed him of his alcoholism [if that is what he was suffering with] and maybe conjured a meal out of the air and led him to a transformed and God-praising life. But is that really what Jesus would do
However [and this is a wrestle piece, so please jump in and give your thoughts] there are a few things that i think we can see in the Bible that might help inform our decision on this. [Be warned: some of these may seem to contradict each other]
# Jesus gave invitations or responded to requests – Typically throughout the Bible, we see this as a trend of how God works with people. A call or a dream or a messenger and the opportunity to respond. In Matthew 19 we see the story of Jesus and the rich young man where Jesus tells him what he needs to do to be right with God and the young man walks away disappointed, because Jesus has targeted his money which had a greater hold on him than the desire to follow God. Jesus doesn't chase the young man or try to convince him or compromise on the ask. Jesus allows him to walk away. Even at times when it seemed obvious, for example, when Jesus asks the blind man, "What do you want me to do?"
So if it came to an encounter with Jesus and a drunk person, i have to imagine there would be an invitation to change, to receive healing, to change but also the opportunity to refuse that invitation and continue to live in the same way.
The parable of the prodigal son [an actual parable!] shows a father who allows his son to pretty much spit in his face and leave without arguing or coercing or reasoning or threatening. It also shows a father who is committed to keeping an eye out for his son and who is seen running down the path to greet him the moment he is heading home.
On another occasion we see Jesus [ironically in John 6.66] lose a lot of His followers, except for the 12, because some of His teaching is too hard for them to hear: 66 After this, many of His disciples drew back (returned to their old associations) and no longer accompanied Him.
Again, he allows them to leave.
# Jesus didn't make it easy – Jesus tells the rich young ruler to give up everything. Then in Matthew 15 we see an interesting interaction with Jesus and a Canaanite woman where He tells her He has come to the last sheep of Israel. "Sorry, I can't help you. You're not one of us." And yet when she persists, He rewards her faith and heals her daughter. With the woman caught in sin in John 8 Jesus lets her know that He refuses to condemn her, but He also sends her away with the command to, "Go and sin no more."
# Jesus does call us to meet the needs of those considered to be the least of these – In Matthew 25 we see the story of the sheep and the goats where it seems to be saying that our actions are what prove significant to God [feed the hungry, clothe the naked, vist those in prison] and while drunk people are not mentioned specifically, are they not considered 'the least of these' by so much of society?
# The letter of James, in chapter 2, says this: 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
i'm not sure about you, but this one seems a little complicated.
What would Jesus do if He came across a drunk man, on the side of the street. One thing is for certain, He would love him. But what would that look like and how does it play out?
What do you think?

An Ex-White House Aide Says They Done Her Wrong
Darlene was hired in September 1974 at $11,064 a year. She had worked for the Shreveport Journal as a correspondent in Washington and as bureau chief in Baton Rouge. She is from Darien, Conn. and holds two journalism degrees from Northwestern. "I thought this was the one job in the White House that wouldn't be political," she says. As managing editor of the White House's own daily (circ. 200), Darlene had three assistants to help her prepare a digest of 75 newspapers and TV news shows.
"I saw very little of President Ford," she recalls. "I was usually tied up in my own office from about 11:30 in the morning till 10:30 at night. It made social life difficult." But there were compensations. "I know the President always read our news summary," she says. "We always reported everything that would be useful. And we did it without the editorial comments that existed during the Nixon administration."
Darlene's first jolt came early. "I discovered that one of the men who worked for me was paid $2,000 a year more," she recalls. Last June Press Secretary Ron Nessen okayed a raise for her, but it was only $388 a year. "It was insulting," Darlene fumes.
Darlene's boss, James Shuman, told her the job had previously paid $26,000 a year and asked that she be boosted to $18,000. The request was turned down. "I was told that I would get a standard grade promotion that would bring my salary up to $13,931," Darlene says. "I resigned the next week."
Her suit, which names Nessen, Shuman, Ford's chief of staff Donald Rumsfeld (now Defense Secretary) and Rumsfeld's successor, Richard Cheney, seeks her reinstatement as editor of the news summary "at a salary commensurate with the responsibilities."
Darlene has received some 100 supporting phone calls. "I even heard from my 75-year-old grandmother, a conservative from Kansas," says Darlene. "She said, 'Right on, sister.' " Mrs. Ford has made no comment yet. But this does not affect Darlene's admiration. "Betty Ford," she says simply, "is a great lady."
Right now, Darlene is working part-time in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Washington bureau. "I need a full-time job," she says. "Yesterday I had to apply for food stamps." Whether she wins or loses, Darlene has had one small satisfaction: her lawsuit made the White House news summary.

Last November, President Obama stood before an audience and said government needs to be "responsive to the needs of people, not the needs of special interests." He added, "That is probably the biggest piece of business that remains unfinished."
He made these remarks, the New York Times reports, before a $17,900-a-plate fundraising dinner at the home of Dwight and Antoinette C. Bush, two heavy contributors to his reelection. But according to the Times, that wasn't Antoinette Bush's only contact with Obama. Six months earlier, she had visited the White House, bringing with her a "top entertainment industry lobbyist." This was when a big brouhaha was erupting between that industry and Internet companies over online piracy.
The visit of a big political contributor and an industry lobbyist to the White House may not normally raise eyebrows, but this is the Obama White House. The Times notes,
Although Mr. Obama has made a point of not accepting contributions from registered lobbyists, a review of campaign donations and White House visitor logs shows that special interests have had little trouble making themselves heard. Many of the president's biggest donors, while not lobbyists, took lobbyists with them to the White House, while others performed essentially the same function on their visits. …
[T]he regular appearance of big donors inside the White House underscores how political contributions continue to lubricate many of the interactions between officials and their guests, if for no other reason than that donors view the money as useful for getting a foot in the door.
Welcome to Obama's new world. It looks a lot like the old.
And this is not the only way it resembles politics as usual.
Like his predecessors, Obama has been a good friend to big companies, especially banks. Take Bank of America. BoA is what you'd expect of a financial institution coddled by government subsidies and privilege: inefficient, corrupt (unjustly foreclosing on homeowners), and a frequent corporate-welfare recipient.
Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi reports that when BoA needs help, Obama is there. Taibbi writes that BoA is
a de facto ward of the state that depends heavily upon public support to stay in business. In fact, without the continued generosity of us taxpayers, and the extraordinary indulgence of our regulators and elected officials, this company long ago would have been swallowed up by scandal, mismanagement, prosecution and litigation, and gone out of business. It would have been liquidated and its component parts sold off, perhaps into a series of smaller regional businesses that would have more respect for the law, and be more responsive to their customers.
But Bank of America hasn't gone out of business, for the simple reason that our government has decided to make it the poster child for the "Too Big To Fail" concept.
Who can we thank? In part, President Barack Obama, who's planning to run a populist reelection campaign pitting the wealthy and well-connected against the rest of us. Hypocrisy lives — even in Obama's allegedly post-political world.
According to Taibbi,
Bank of America … is perhaps the biggest welfare dependent in American history, with the $45 billion in bailout money and the $118 billion in state guarantees it's received since 2008 representing just the crest of a veritable mountain of federal bailout support, most of it doled out by the Obama administration. (emphasis added)
Revealingly, BoA soothed nervous creditors last year by shifting $73 trillion in derivatives to the part of the bank covered by federal deposit insurance — aka the taxpayers. Writes Taibbi,
This move, encouraged by the Obama administration, put the American taxpayer on the hook for an entire generation of irresponsible gambles made by another failed investment firm that should have gone out of business, but was instead acquired by Bank of America with $25 billion in taxpayer help — Merrill Lynch. (emphasis added)
This is just one of the many ways in which Obama reveals himself as a friend of big, well-connected business interests — that is, as an advocate of the corporate state.
Considering that Mitt Romney also favors having government as business's ally, we can look forward to an election between two variations on this corporatist theme.

Whats not to like...
Help from help, accomodating
Excellent facility and location. Excellent dinner at acceptable cost
Road nose irritating. Be careful of breakfast, the buffet is $$ and coffee and orange are extra.
The staff was very friendly and efficient. The remodeled rooms were very nice and the location is the best in Punta Gorda. Best value in town.
Need towel racks to hang towels for reuse to encourage green awareness. Hot breakfast items need a bigger table and warm serving containers.
Comfortable and convenient.
WiFi service was poor although all floors had a separate hub the signal strength was insufficient to work with either because it was overloaded or simply weak.
Location to the highway and the ease to get down town Port Charlotte and neighboring communities.
Unfortunately the pool and hot tub are not very private as there is only an open fence to the parking lot and busy road.
Clean, reasonably priced, friendly staff
Cleanliness of rooms, wc, bed. Condition of matress. Only one of my two reservations could be retrieved........?
No wifi, even though they said they had it. No cable tv, only local channels, never been in a hotel without even basic cable. Room was not serviced first day at all.
Location was great next to fishing boats
A little commercial with the retail stores underneath
Was very nice for the price
nice size room, nice Pool and breakfast
Close to airport. Convenient location. Good breakfast with adequate seating. (breakfast person was very friendly and sweet)
Excellent experience from the moment we stepped through the door. Exceptional staff, the hotel was very clean & well appointed & the beds were very comfortable. Convenient location, dining within walking distance.
No complaints.
It was reasonably priced, quite and very convenient. Would not hesitate to stay again.
The location
The roaches
They used a lot of bleach to cover up a bad smell. Hung a dirty towel in bath on the second day (just one towel smelled like smoke). Hmmm
(Hotel Employee) did an amazing job of exceeding my expectations! I will be staying again when I'm back in town next week.
Older Model Television.
hotel appeared clean. staff was super friendly
tv wasnt movable to allow 2nd bed to view.
Th staff was very friendly and kind . Food was adaquate All questions was answered .I would love to stay again and probably will Dottie cALL
i FOUND NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT .aLL WAS GREAT
No refund available for unused nights.
It was disgusting and stunk, very noisy, will NEVER stay there again!!!
Close to airport and price.
It advertises continental breakfast which is misleading to say the least.

Let's just officially change it to the no fun league already since it's so offensive to show emotion. Hey all you athletes out there actually playing on the field putting in the effort and not sitting on your fat ass judging a stranger, quit celebrating already! You are offending these poor souls, who do you think you are!
Straw man
No one said don't show emotion. Scream,yell, high five team mates, whatever,
Not interested in you moonwalking after a tackle, this isn't American idol.

CINCINNATI (AP) — With the ball coming at nearly 100 mph, Chase Headley was merely trying to get the bat to meet it. Once that happened, the rest was automatic.
Headley homered in the ninth inning off Aroldis Chapman, the first hit the hard-throwing lefty allowed since his return from being hit in the head by a line drive, and the San Diego Padres beat the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 on Tuesday night.
The Padres got their season-high fourth straight win despite managing only three hits. Seth Smith had the only two hits that Mike Leake allowed in the first eight innings.
Headley connected on a 99 mph fastball from Chapman (0-1), who was making his second appearance since undergoing surgery after being struck in the forehead during a spring training game. He had a plate inserted above his left eye and nose.
"He's a guy that's throwing with tremendous velocity," Headley said. "So you can't try to do too much. You just try to get the barrel to it. He's one of those guys that if you're able to get the barrel to it, he really supplies some power for you."
His fourth homer made the difference and provided another indication that he's fully recovered from a strained right calf that sidelined him for much of spring training and landed him on the disabled list on April 25. He returned last Saturday and hit a three-run homer.
"I don't think he was quite hitting on all cylinders when the season started," manager Bud Black said.
Joaquin Benoit (1-0) allowed a walk in the eighth. Huston Street got the last three outs for his 12th save in as many chances. Street hasn't allowed a run in his last 10 innings.
Smith was the NL's most recent player of the week and extended his hitting streak to nine games, matching his career high. He's 19 for 34 during the streak.
The rest of San Diego's lowly offense didn't do much until Headley connected with two outs in the top of the ninth. The Padres came in last in the league in batting average and scoring.
Brandon Phillips had three of Cincinnati's seven hits, including an RBI single in the first inning. Cincinnati has 12 one-run losses, most in the majors.
"Those are what we're most upset about," Reds catcher Brayan Pena said. "We know we're better than that. Our starters are doing a tremendous job giving us a chance. Leake gave us more than we asked for. We couldn't hit for him today."

Created: 07/15/2014 7:48 AM
By: The Associated Press
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - Plans announced Monday call for creation of a privately funded and operated medical school at New Mexico State University's main campus in Las Cruces.
The Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine would produce a projected 150 doctors annually starting in 2016, and NMSU President Garrey Carruthers say that would help address the state's shortage of primary care physicians, especially in rural areas.
Santa Fe real estate mogul Daniel Burrell is financially backing the $85 million project and is the college's chairman.
Under its agreement with NMSU, the college has agreed to a long-term lease at NMSU's Arrowhead Park. Construction of a building to house the college will begin within the next year.
Also, the college's students would have access to NMSU housing, services and activities.

WOSU-TV's Columbus Neighborhoods Series Profiles Bexley
WOSU-TV presents the tenth installment of the Columbus Neighborhoods series. This latest documentary profiles the city of Bexley.
Columbus Police are targeting what they call aggressive panhandlers. The move comes after a woman complained she was intimidated into giving money near the Bryce and Tussing Road intersection. Columbus Police Liuetenant Rick Bash says people shouldn't give money to any panhandlers, especially those acting aggressively.
"An aggressive panhandler would be one that made you feel compleed to give at the risk of their behavior, so if you feel imtimidated because they are very close to you, or they're using their body language to say if you fail to do this I'm going to take some kind of aggressive action against you (that would be an aggressive panhandler)," Bash says.
Bash also says it is better to give money to charities than to individuals who might have a drug or alcohol addiction. But Columbus Coalition for the Homeless director Bill Casto says giving to panhandlers should be a personal decision.
"I think that it's a little simplistic to say 'don't do it at all', or 'give your money to some organization'. That's really too simple. I think you have to do what your heart and your role in the community demands you do."
Both Bash and Casto say people can direct panhandlers to shelters, food banks, and other agencies in lieu of giving money.

"My adult daughters and I went to Walla Walla for a mother - daughter weekend, staying at the Farm Getaway. We enjoyed our stay very much. The cozy accommodations were just great! Not a single complaint! Our hosts were wonderful too. Would definitely stay here again. Easy to get to winery's and into downtown Bend."
"The Vue is a wonderful condo for a visit to Walla Walla. It is beautifully furnished and spotless but the best thing is the location! The restaurants and many tasting rooms are within a short walk. Just two blocks to downtown. We have stayed in several of the older homes in town so it was fun to stay in a real "city" type modern condo."

Hi everybody, I am new to the boards. My gf and I are going to Disney world for the first time in three weeks. We have been going out for five years, I get along great with her family and vice versa. I plan on proposing when we are in Disney and Ineed our advice on a couple of things. First, my friends and have been debating this for a couple of weeks and I do not know what to do. Should I get the blessing of her parents. Some are saying yes, others no that it's old fashioned. It's not like they would say know I have a great relationship with them, it's just I wanted it to be a surprise for everybody, even my own family my brother questioned me about it when I slipped that I went ring shopping and I denied it to him. Part 2 of my question is any suggestions on how to do it? I had read a couple of posts about gifts of a lifetime. I had emailed them and the only times they have available is in the morning, which really isn't that romantic. HELPPPP MEEEEEE!
I like the idea of asking their permission. Should you do it ? It really depends on all of you. Could you be certain they wouldn't let it slip? As for romantic ideas... Oh theere are so many. You could make a PS for dinner in the Castle and see if they would bring the ring in a glass slipper (they have the slippers. They serve a drink out of them). You could book an illuminations cruise and ask here during the fireworks. You could find out if you can go to the wedding chapel near the GF if it isn't booked and do it there. I alwasy liked thato ne movie scene (can't remember what movie) where the guy ask every passenger on the plane to hand his girl friend a rose. I don't know if they could arrange it but you could book a character meal and have each character bring out a rose.
My daughter recently became engaged and her boyfriend spoke to my husband prior to giving her the ring (they didn't tell me.... can't imagine why - LOL) anyway, I can remember how important it was to my own dad when my hubby asked his "permission" before we were officially engaged... so, I would definitely vote for talking to your girlfriend's dad (and even her mom, if you think she can keep the secret ). As far as making special arrangements during the day.... why can't that be romantic? I remember seeing a couple arrive at one of the little covered pavillians along the water next to the castle... there was a table set with wine glasses and two ladies (cm's or maybe someone from gifts of a lifetime???) were hostessing... the girl didn't seem to know what was going on and when her boyfriend got down on one knee and presented the ring I thought I would cry -- everyone in the area cheered and one of the hostess took a picture of the event while the other poured the champaigne -- the surrounding landscape with the castle and rose gardens was just beautiful! Good luck to you -- whatever you do will be memorable!
No, I don't think it is necessary. I didn't want my husband to ask my parents, afterall, they weren't the ones marrying him! It is very old fashioned, but if you think that she would want you to, that is a different story. Besides, if the parents know ahead of time, they could inadvertantly give it away!
Neither of my fiancees asked permission. One worked out, one didnt. You be the judge. How about proposing on the beach at the Polynesian at night, witht he castle changing colors in the background? Its so beautiful there!
Both my sons-in law "asked" permission. Really it was more of a heads up, but we felt it was a nice touch. Both our daughters were surprised. The hard part for me was waiting for the phone call to tell us they were engaged.
My husband asked my dad before hand and was scared to death to do so (I AM the ultimate daddy's gril). My dad said he had more respect for him since he did so. Of course now my husband says that he thought he was never going to get away from my dad with all the questions that he asked him before he agreed that it was ok to marry his "little girl"--to make this funny please remember that I was 28 years old lol. Oh well, it meant a lot to my father that my husband did that and I think their relationship grew closer and stronger because of it. Can't help you with the romantic ideas at Disney though--I haven't been yet. I can tell you more when we get back from our trip in December.
If my husband didn't have the coconuts to ask my Father permission to marry me, I would not have married him. It shows respect to the brides family and is a tradition that should be upheld. No, the parents aren't the ones marrying the guy literally, but he will be a part of that family till the day he dies. or Maybe the guys is just wrong for your daughter. Maybe your family's opinion about your future mate should be important to your decision. I have been married for 5 years now and would highly recommend it! Do your girlfriend proud. Be strong, respectful and romantic. Show her how much you love her and all the reasons you want to marry her.
For me, I wonder how old you and your GF are. If you are closer to 18 years old, I would think it would be essential to talk to her parents, first. If your GF and you are closer to age 30, it is not necessary to talk to her parents first, HOWEVER, it WOULD be a nice touch, anyway. It is so wonderful that you want it to be romantic !!!! Lucky Girl !!!
Definitely speak with her parents first! Sure, it is old-fashioned. But, that doesn't make it something to avoid. . . . Perhaps something to embrace, instead. My husband and my sister's husband both spoke with my father before asking us. Even as sentimental as he is, my dad did not spill the beans in either case. And I too think it has strengthened their relationships with him. Just do it!
In a way her parents know it is something that is upcoming, they just don't know when. They know we have been talking about it they even offered advice on the type of ring and what to look for. They just don't know it is going to be on this trip.
My husband worked for my dad, and I was 28 yo when we got engaged... I am very independent, had been dating my DH for 5 years, so I really didn't feel it was necessary, and neither did my father... his response would have been, "Why are you asking me, I'm not marrying you." So, for us, it was better all around.
I say ask for permission. I'm a bit of a traditionalist. If you've been dating her for 5 years and you get along great with her family, they should not have any reason to say no. As for ideas on where to do it, obviously Cinderella's Castle is an idea. Maybe at your resort (if it's a Disney resort, or if there's somwhere romantic there that you can do it). Good luck to you! Mickey76
I think it would be very nice to ask her parents and I think they would appreciate your sincere consideration of them. Explain to them that it is a surprise but you wanted to include them on the surprise. Second part. Contact Disney and they will assist you with the proposal plan. I would suggest getting a glass slipper from the shop on Main Street that sells all crystal figurines and arrange to have the MK open the park for you and propose in front of the Castle under the stars. I know I would love that. But then, I am a sappy romantic. Best Wishes!! Tinkerbell4Ever
Tinkerbell4ever, actually we are going to be in the park after hours with the party, but how can I contact Disney about the glass slipper part can you get me a number?
I don't know what your budget is like, but Disney does offer Engagement Packages. These can also be used for Anniversaries or Special Occasions (which is why I inquired).

Yes, I believe it is respectful to ask the parents blessings to marry their daughter. I recently, about 2 months ago, asked my girlfriends parents for their blessings to marry their daughter - and they were extremely happy that I had - I didn't do it for selfish reasons, but their respect for me increased dramatically. As far as it being old-fashioned. It's not. You do it because it's respectful to the parents, and to your girlfriend (especially if she is really close to her parents). I would recommend asking the parents blessings on the two of you getting married. Please note, that asking for someone's blessings, is not the same as asking their permission.
My dh asked my dd (we have been married 27 yrs. last Friday). It shows respect. My dd's dh asked our permission as well. It made us respect him more than he showed respect for us. I am really glad he did. tigercat
As for the parents question, what about talking just to her Dad first? Can her folks keep a secret? You wouldn't want them to let the cat out of the bag... As for the ACTUAL question, I heartily agree with CamColt about the beach at the Polynesian... what a spot. However, what does your fiance like to do? Some of the restaurants in Epcot are amazingly romantic (especially at Mexico and Morocco). On the other hand, what about proposing in the Space Mountain rocket car, just before the ride starts? If nothing else, it will be memorable... Poly 73, 79 ASM, PO, DL etc. since, and counting. PS Honeymoon at Disney. I did a year ago, and it was spectacular!

Situated on the ground floor, a snug 2 room apartment, on the beautiful golf resort Campoamor close to Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja.

There are different districts in the resort with different types of houses and apartments. All accommodations are comfortable and are perfectly suited for the professional golfer, and with their location near the sea and the many communal swimming pools of the resort also for holiday makers and families with children looking for comfort and various facilities within walking distance. The resort is surrounded by extended pine tree forests and citrus orchards where you can make lovely walks.

Bij onze aankomst was het even schrikken omdat we niet hadden verwacht in zo'n groot vakantieresort te komen. De hele streek staat er vol van. Het appartement was een verademing. prima in orde, schoon, de inrichting compleet en de airco een geweldige uitkomst. Ook alle tv. zenders waren te zien, in de tijd van allerlei grote sportevenementen, kwam dat prima van pas. De tegenover liggende golfbaan zorgde voor een mooi uitzicht en we konden er lekker koffiedrinken. Gezien het massale toerisme was de kust en winkelstraat voor ons niet aantrekkelijk. Het eigen zwembad bij ons complex en de mooie oude steden in de omgeving ( 50, 60 km.) waren echter weer een prima goedmaker.
