text: Movie reviewers decry the film 300 as "like a video game – all action and graphics, no plot." In a sense, God of War 2 proves their point. It has oceans of blood, electrifying action, graphics that should be accompanied by opera (and usually are), with a plot that could be written on a match book. And it is a video game. But it also proves how different games are from movies, and how silly it is to hold either to the other's standards.

Cake balls are bite-sized balls made of crumbled cake mixed with frosting and covered in candy coating. They are easy to make and form the basis of endless variations of decorated cake pops, cupcake pops, and cake bites.
500g box cake mix
22x33cm cake pan
Large mixing bowl
One 450g container ready-made frosting
Large metal spoon
Wax paper
2 baking sheets
Plastic wrap
1kg candy coating
Deep, microwave-safe plastic bowl
Resealable plastic bag or squeeze bottle (optional)
Bake the cake as directed on the box, using the cake pan. Let cool completely.
Once the cake is cooled, get organised and set aside plenty of time (at least an hour) to crumble, roll, and dip 48 cake balls.
Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl. The texture of the cake causes it to crumble easily. Just cut a baked 9-by13-inch cake into 4 equal sections. Remove a section from the pan, break it in half, and rub the two pieces together over a large bowl, making sure to crumble any large pieces that fall off. You can also use a fork to break any larger pieces of cake apart. Repeat with each section until the entire cake is crumbled into a fine texture. If you have large pieces mixed in, the cake balls may turn out lumpy and bumpy. You should not see any large pieces of cake.
Add three-quarters of the container of frosting. (You will not need the remaining frosting.) Mix it into the crumbled cake, using the back of a large metal spoon, until thoroughly combined. If you use the entire container, the cake balls will be too moist.
The mixture should be moist enough to roll into 4cm balls and still hold a round shape. After rolling the cake balls by hand, place them on a wax paper-covered baking sheet.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill for several hours in the refrigerator, or place in the freezer for about 15 minutes. You want the balls to be firm but not frozen.
Mini pretzels for antlers and red candies for noses are perfect for everyone's favourite reindeer.
48 uncoated cake balls
1.4 kg chocolate candy coating
Deep, microwave-safe plastic bowl
48 lollipop sticks
Styrofoam block
96 miniature alphabet-shaped pretzels or mini pretzel twists
48 red peanut M&Ms; or red Lemonheads
96 miniature white confetti sprinkles
Black edible-ink pen
Have the cake balls chilled and in the refrigerator. Melt the chocolate candy coating in the microwave-safe bowl, following the instructions on the package. The coating should be about 7.5 cm deep for easier dipping.
When you are ready to dip, remove a few cake balls at a time from the refrigerator, keeping the rest chilled.
One at a time, dip about 12 mm of the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted candy coating and insert the dipped end straight into a cake ball, pushing it no more than halfway through. Dip the cake pop into the melted coating. Gently lift the pop out of the coating and tap off any excess: Hold it over the bowl in your left hand, and tap your left wrist gently with your right hand. If you use the hand holding the cake pop to shake off excess coating, the force of the movement will be too strong and could cause the cake ball to loosen or fly off the lollipop stick.
Tapping the wrist holding the cake pop absorbs some of the impact. The excess coating will fall off, but you will need to rotate the lollipop stick so the coating doesn't build up on one side, making it too heavy on that side. If too much coating starts to build up at the base of the stick, simply use your finger to wipe it off, spinning the lollipop stick at the same time. This can happen if the coating is too thin or too hot. It's not as hard as it sounds; it just takes a little practice. Immediately attach one pretzel on each side of the reindeer head for antlers.
Hold them in place until the candy coating sets like glue. Stand the pop firmly in a hole in the Styrofoam block. Repeat with the remaining cake balls. Let the pops dry completely.
Using a toothpick, dot a small amount of the melted candy coating in position for the nose and attach a red candy. Hold the nose in place until the coating sets. Use a clean toothpick to dot a small amount of coating in position for the eyes and attach 2 white miniature confetti sprinkles. Return to the Styrofoam block. Repeat with the rest of your reindeer. Using the edible-ink pen, draw on mouths and dot the eyes.
Let the cake pops dry.

Whatever the occasion, we found a multitude of denim and chambray shoes worthy of receiving indigo bleed on your selvedge jeans. And what's more, you'd look pretty darn hot in them this summer.

Bogle's 16 lead JSerra over Rosary
JSerra's girls basketball team has a lot of weapons on its roster this season.
Guards Coco Miller and August Touchard have been outstanding and Megan House, a 6-foot-4 sophomore, and Courtney Vaccher, a 6-foot-2 junior, dominate in the post for the Lions.
JSerra discovered a new weapon in junior guard Corinne Bogle on Thursday night. She gave the Lions a spark off the bench with 16 points to lead No. 3 JSerra to a 53-35 victory over Rosary in a Trinity League game at JSerra.
"I knew beforehand that I didn't have a great game the last time we played Rosary," said Bogle, who had two points in JSerra's 69-44 victory over Rosary on Jan. 10. "I just tried to do different things this time around."
Rosary (14-10. 2-5) knocked down seven 3-pointers, including three in the first quarter to help the Royals build a 13-12 edge heading into the second quarter. JSerra responded with an 8-0 run to build a 20-13 lead. Touchard was dishing out the assists and Bogle scored nine of her points in the first half to give the Lions (18-5, 4-2) a 27-21 lead at the break.
"She's been getting better every game," JSerra coach Mary Rossignol said of Bogle. "She's just a really hard worker in practice."
House contributed 12 points, 12 rebounds and three blocked shots and Vaccher had eight points, 15 rebounds and three assists.
In another Trinity League game:
No. 5 Orange Lutheran 51, Santa Margarita 34: Abbey Goodsell finished with 13 points and Jami Hahn pitched in with 10 points as the Lancers (20-3, 4-2) defeated the visiting Eagles (6-17, 0-7).
In the Pacific Coast League:
No. 7 Woodbridge 53, Irvine 51: Sarah Lipton had 14 points, Wendy Shiga had 12 points and Emily Shimizu had 10 points for the visiting Warriors (22-3, 8-0).
University 50, Corona del Mar 37: Melodie Yu's 20 points helped the visiting Trojans (14-10, 4-4) knock off the Sea Kings (8-15, 1-7).
Beckman 58, Northwood 52: Alexis Casillas scored 39 points and hauled in 15 rebounds as the visiting Patriots (15-9, 6-2) held on to beat the Timberwolves (15-9, 1-7).
In the Sunset League:
Los Alamitos 52, Fountain Valley 43: Katelyn McCutchen scored 23 points and Neah Odom scored 14 points for the Griffins (19-5, 7-1) in a victory over the visiting Barons (10-14, 2-6).
Huntington Beach 60, Newport Harbor 21: Paola Roa scored 12 points and Jill Nakaso and Emily Vaught scored 11 points apiece to lead the Oilers (16-5, 6-2).

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – Senate Education Chairman Gray Tollison, R-Oxford, and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said Wednesday's passage of charter school legislation is the first of several steps they plan to make this session in an effort to improve the state's schools.
Moments after charter school legislation passed the Senate by a 31-17 vote, Reeves said what will come out of the Senate this session "is a number of measures when taken in their entirety can make a difference for education in our state."
Those include making all superintendents appointed and developing programs to improve third grade reading.
In three and a half hours of debate Wednesday, Democrats argued that charter schools would not improve education in the state, but take money and resources from traditional public schools.
Sen. Hob Bryan, D-Amory, noting that public schools have been underfunded according to the state's formula by nearly $1 billion since 2008"Not only are we not funding public schools like we should, but now we are taking money away from them" to create what he called a "a parallel school system."
Reeves and Tollison have donated a lot of time and energy to charter schools. They have held hearings, visited charter schools in other states and made it a clear legislative priority.
Charter schools are publicly funded but operate outside of many regulations governing traditional public schools.
At one point, Bryan asked why a charter school organization would not take over an existing low-performing school district in the state, which under current law is permissible.
Tollison responded that a charter group would not because it would be "set up for failure" and that charter schools wanted to start on a smaller scale.
Two of the chamber's Democrats – both African-American members – voted for the proposal. No Republican recorded a no vote, but Chris Massey, R-Southaven, paired, meaning he would have voted no, but instead he did not vote to offset a yes vote who was not there.
Tollison said the bill, which died last year in the House, was changed this year to try to win additional support by requiring the charters to serve a certain percentage of a district's "underserved" students.
No effort was made to amend the bill to allow school boards in C-accredited districts to veto the location of a charter school within their borders. Under the bill, schools boards in districts accredited at the A and B levels have veto authority.
In the House, various members have said they will not support legislation for charter schools in A, B and C districts.
An amendment offered by Sen David Blount, D-Jackson, to put the charter schools under the existing state Board of Education instead of creating an additional board was defeated.
Also defeated was an amendment by Sen. Bill Stone, D-Ashland, to require full funding of education before charter schools could be created.
The Senate Education Committee on Tuesday had removed a provision allowing virtual, or online, charter schools.
It is not clear when the House will take up the measure.
How They Voted
Votes of Northeast Mississippi senators on charter school legislation:
FOR – Nancy Collins, R-Tupelo; Gary Jackson, R-French Camp; Rita Potts Parks, R-Corinth; Gray Tollison, R-Oxford.
AGAINST – Hob Bryan, D-Amory; Nickey Browning, D-Pontotoc; Russell
Jolly, D-Houston; Bill Stone, DAshland; J.P. Wilemon, D-Belmont.

Posted on 11/19/2013 4:32:55 AM PST by grundle
Full title: Rude Awakening for Federal Way Woman Who Got Shout-Out From President Cant Afford Obamacare Policy After All
Recognized by President: Jessica Sanford of Federal Way.
OLYMPIA, Nov. 17.Jessica Sanford, the Federal Way woman who got a shout-out from President Obama last month with her fan letter for the Affordable Care Act, got a rather rude awakening last week. Turns out she doesnt qualify for a tax credit after all.
At least thats what the letter said that she got from the state. Now she says her dream of affordable health insurance has gone poof. She cant afford it. Shell have to go without. Im really terribly embarrassed, she says. It has completely turned around on me. I mean, completely.
Chalk it up to a bollixed-up state website that apparently still has major problems. Originally it said Sanford and her child would get a whopping tax credit that would reduce their total premium to $169 a month. Now the state is telling her it goofed twice and she has to pay full ticket.
Obama related Sanfords story in remarks from the Rose Garden last Oct. 21: I recently received a letter from a woman named Jessica Sanford in Washington state, and heres what she wrote. I am a single mom, no child support, self-employed, and I havent had health insurance for 15 years because it is too expensive. My son has ADHD and requires regular doctor visits, and his meds alone cost $250 a month. I have had an ongoing tendinitis problem due to my line of work that I havent had treated. Now, finally, we get to have coverage because of the ACA for $169 a month. I was crying the other day when I signed up. So much stress lifted.

Well, that's what she gets for kissing the Fuhrer's ass. Sniveling little boot licker.
For some reason I don't think she's being truthfull.......
Ritilin (sp?) is provided free by the state castrators.
ResultsThat's $400 per month after the subsidy. I'm very surprised her budget is so tight she can't afford $400 a month on $49K per year.
The information below is about subsidized exchange coverage. Note that subsidies are only available for people purchasing coverage on their own in the exchange (not through an employer). Depending on your state's eligibility criteria, you or some members of your family may qualify for Medicaid.
- Household income in 2014:
- 316% of poverty level
- Maximum % of income you have to pay for the premium, if eligible for a subsidy:
- 9.5%
- Health Insurance premium in 2014 (for a silver plan, before tax credit):
- $5,755 per year
- You could receive a government tax credit subsidy of up to:
- $1,100 per year
(which covers 19% of the overall premium)
- Amount you pay for the premium:
- $4,655 per year
(which equals 9.5% of your household income and covers 81% of the overall premium)
And this is just the sign-up-for-a-policy issue .... wait until she has to deal with them on actual health care and hopefully, it won't be a life/death issue. Some people (libs/progs/Dems) never learn ..... this Obamabot still believes in the ACA and says "I am a big Obama fan".
Some people never learn. This doofus is one of them.
Uh-oh! She thinks she going to have to pay a penalty of $95. Wait until she finds out her penalty is $500. The penalty is $95 or 1% of her salary, which on her $50,000 salary is $500.
Where is the child's father? When morality goes, the nation is doomed.
$400/ month for what? If the deductible is high, then it could be likely that continuing to pay cash out of pocket is preferred to cash out of pocket plus $400/month down the toilet.
Come to think of it the Kaiser calc is for the Silver plan. She signed up for a Gold plan (lower co-payments and deductibles). Maybe that's some significantly higher number.
Hmmm...maybe ADHD is inherited.
Stupid is as stupid does.
"Stupid is as stupid does"
Nietzsche once wrote:
God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?By that he meant that nobody believes in God any more. So we inflate people like Obama and regard them as living gods. Just because people have lost faith in traditional religions doesn't mean they have no belief system. It actually means they'll believe in anything.
Jessica Sanford is the poster girl for what is wrong with America. Seeking it all, the single mom has nothing. She is in the long haul, a dysfunctional societal drag
I don't know if she was arrested for anything...but....GUILTY!
Great analysis but $400.00 per month is a lot of money when these fools expect healthcare for free.
this is the famed "Julia" by another name. First off child no spouse, strike one. Believeing anything his excellency says, strike two. Believing the government is here to help you, strik three.
BTW, the article goes on to say her son is covered now by Medicaid for $30 a month. She is complaining because she was forced to put him on medicaid before the calculations for a credit based on income and dependents which removed him from not having medical insurance, he had medicaid. Now she has to pay for insurance without benefit of a credit. So ya see, here we have another person who believed this was going to be "free" insurance and who cannot get by on a 50K income as a self employed court reporter...too bad. Meanwhile, she does not yet know she will have to fork over $500 fine for not having insurance if she goes that way, ah, the government givith and the government taketh away more!
Be nice, that is $400 that cannot go for the Volvo.
ah, yes....single parenthood. the promise of economic well-being fostered by the dimocrats.
where's daddy?
guess she's another who is for everyone having health care as long as she doesn't have to pay for it....guess this includes her own.
The actual premium pricing I have seen has been significantly higher than what the Kaiser calculator predicts. Their estimates may not always be accurate.
Be nice, that is $400 that cannot go for the Volt.
Fixed it...lol.
Nicely done guys. Seconds apart.
Whatever the actual premium, I believe people who get subsidies will get enough to knock it down to a standard rate, for a given income level, family size and age group. People who aren't eligible for subsidies get sticker shock. Upper middle income families that buy their own insurance are in for rate shock.
But she also probably has to pay for the $250 per month of ADHD medication under that plan, since the deductible won't be reached. So the monthly cash flow out is $650 per month before any other medical costs, which she will also have to pay out of pocket, except for the zero cost checkups, vaccinations, etc.
Also, as a self employed person she has to pay all of the FICA and Medicare out of her income. So instead of seeing a 7.65% tax rate, she pays 15.3% off the top directly to the federal government. That's another $625 per month, $312 more than somebody who is not self-employed pays.
Finally, for all its problems, Medicaid is usually a generous insurance program from the user's point of view with low or zero deductibles and copays. So Medicaid is way more appealing than a typical ACA insurance plan. The next bad effect we'll see will be people who adjust their income to stay under the thresholds which cause them to lose their subsidized or free plans.
-——$250 per month of ADHD medication——
She could also stop the meds and be mother. She's made her kid a druggie. A little conscientious mothering might go a long way to reversing the kid's supposed problems
Mom needs to take away the X-Box and hand the kid a basketball. For less than the $250/month she's spending on meds, she could enroll him in a YMCA program after school.
Regarding my 3YO grandson, the entire family (parents and all 4 grandparents) is in agreement that we will not allow any diagnosis of ADD. When he comes to our house (usually 1-2 days a week), he never naps, because he's having too much fun. He gets plenty of physical activity, thanks to his 11YO uncle and his Opa. lol - He keeps me young, too.
My son just completed football, in two weeks basketball season starts. With sports and Boy Scouts, we're doing our best to maintain a high level of activity.
"Four days after President Obama made his address, the state health exchange publicly revealed a grevious error its tax-credit calculations were all wrong. The state had been submitting monthly income information to the federal data hub, but the federal computers were expecting an annual figure. Suppose a person claimed an income of $50,000 a year the tax credit was based on an income of $4,166 a year. The higher the income, the bigger the error. Brokers say they caught the mistake right off the bat and tried flagging it to the states attention, but for some reason it took the state three weeks to acknowledge it. So everyone who purchased a subsidized health insurance policy through the Washington state exchange prior to Oct. 23 was quoted too low a rate. The mistake involved 4,600 policies covering 8,000 people Sanfords policy was one of them."
In King County, WA average rents for a 2 bedroom apartment are $1200 a month. After taxes, she probaby clears $3k. That doesn't leave a lot of money to pay for power, water, maybe a car paymnet, and raise a growing kid. $400 a month would be a big hit.
That is true, and when they see how limited their coverage is in many areas they will be stunned. Apparently many of the large insurance providers have established new coverage networks with far fewer providers, and they don't provide any out of network coverage. When those upper middle income families realize that they can't send their children to specialty hospitals, or go to someplace like Cedars Sinai when one of them needs brain surgery, they'll be furious.
Don't count on it...
"She says she wants to make it clear she has no beef with Obama and Obamacare. She still believes in the Affordable Care Act. I dont want this to be a political thing, she says. I dont want to be bashing the president. I dont want to be bashing the ACA. I dont want to come across as saying that. I am a big Obama fan."
Schadenfreude,schadenfreude, lovely schadenfreude....oh what fun it is to watch a lib in schadenfreude....
This is your brain when dead:
"I dont want to come across as saying that. I am a big Obama fan.
This is your brain when it is functioning:
Cannot we get this guy impeached and convicted quickly.
"big Obama fan"...that is why there is little chance of taking this country back anytime soon. They have been hypnotized.
Failure- there's your 'Federal Way'.
ADD (or ADHD), absent dad disorder...
New definition of a conservative:
A conservative is a former liberal who had their excellent, affordable health insurance cancelled and then found out they couldn't afford to buy an Obamacare policy because they didn't qualify for subsidies.
In other words, a conservative is a former liberal mugged by Obamacare.
The true believers can't be swayed. But the liberals and moderates who previously went eeny, meeny, miny, moe at the polling booth are gonna get riled up. And that might be enough for a GOP senate majority in 2014.
I ran that through the translator and this is what came out.
"Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me.Please don't audit me."
Too late: self-employed individuals are at risk for audit. If she's saying her income is $49K, it's likely that it's actually $60K, if not higher.
Heh. I got "maybe he'll bring me flowers!"
You have to do these things or it is a major mess come tax time. And an audit is much worse.
And, during this first year, without employers being involved, there is no way for the government to document your actual income.
Accordingly, the income entry is on the "Honor System"...
Looking back on my past thru today's glasses, I could easily have been diagnosed as having ADHD starting in the 5th grade...
Due to family issues, my straight A's up to that point began to decline but at least I wasn't subjected to being drugged out of my teenage years......

Group: Forces of Nature
Artist: Tawaraya SOTATSU
Birth/Death: c.1630 (Active)
Title: Rough Seas
Date Made: early Edo period
Lender: Tokyo Fuji Art Museum
This eight-fold painted screen was created by Tawaraya S?tatsu, the founder of the Rimpa decorative school of painting. It dates from the 1630s.
S?tatsu used a variety of resources and techniques to create his elegant and refined images of waves breaking. He began with a background of gold leaf. The waves were painted onto the gold leaf using gold paint, a white glue powder made from crushed sea-shells, and an azure-blue colour, derived from lapis lazuli.
S?tatsu has depicted the waves as abstract patterns, seen from close up. They are striking images that benefit from his use of colour and line. The movement of the waves is emphasised by the artist's smooth flowing lines, and his use of white highlights on the wave crests. Their shape is strongly defined by the contrast between the colour of the waves, and the dark background.
This contrasting of dark and light, and the use of bold outline to emphasise form, can also be seen in Monet's Rocks at low tide, Pourville. Monet would have observed this technique in a variety of Japanese paintings and prints.

Several send e-mails aiming to entice shoppers to fill their Easter baskets online.
Katie Evans
While shoppers probably stop short of purchasing hard-boiled Easter eggs online, just about every other item a consumer might desire to celebrate the holiday this year has been available online—and likely on sale, too.
E-retailers kept busy this month showering consumers with Easter greetings and incentives to buy their holiday gear with them.
Payless ShoeSource sent an Easter-themed e-mail on March 21 offering free shipping for one day only on all orders of $30 or more. Apparel and shoe retailer Piperlime.com, meanwhile, hit consumers' inboxes with a message just days before the holiday promoting special occasion shoes for children. "Hop, hop, who's there? New special occasion shoes for kids," the subject line read. A click to open the e-mail revealed images of footwear for boys and girls with a few decorative bunnies thrown in to round out the scene.
Barnes & Noble Inc. featured a variety of Easter items in a March 21 e-mail ranging from storybook classics such as The Tale of Peter Rabbit to children's DVDs that aren't quite classics yet such as Max's Chocolate Chicken. For the adults, the message also highlighted 25% off rich Godiva Chocolate.
Ghirardelli, another chocolate maker that sells online, aimed to grab the attention of the shopper with a sweet tooth with a catchy subject line: "Give a bunny a break & save 15% on Easter treats." Shoppers could save 15% by entering the code "Basket" at checkout. The message, sent on March 21, also featured a handy summary of shipping deadlines for arrival before Easter. Shoppers could order as late as March 28 and select next day delivery to get their goodies in time for the holiday.
Another earlier message from Ghirardelli sent on March 17 appealed to shoppers' curiosity with the subject line: "Secret Easter surprise savings on Ghirardelli chocolate!" After opening the message shoppers could click a button to find their sweet surprise on the retailer's e-commerce site. At least one click led to discounts on various chocolate packages. In that same e-mail, Ghirardelli also promoted its stores with the message: "We're in the neighborhood! Visit your nearby Ghirardelli ice cream and chocolate shop to experience our delectable fountain creations." It was accompanied by the address for a nearby Ghirardelli store.
Other retailers took a religious tone to promote Easter sales. Dancewear e-retailer All About Dance sent a message on March 6 promoting liturgical dance apparel for religious performances. It featured 15% off such items for one week and free shipping and returns.
Pro Flowers, meanwhile, aimed to appeal to shoppers longing for the spring-like weather that usually accompanies the holiday with a series of Easter-themed e-mails beginning on March 13. They began with 43% off Easter Tulips and finished up with a more urgent call to action with a subject line: "Only 3 Days left for guaranteed Easter Delivery! Make Mom =)" in an e-mail sent on March 27.
A study released last week by trade group the National Retail Federation suggests improving prospects for such online Easter promotions. More U.S. consumers will shop online this year for Easter gifts than last year, it finds, with 21.1% planning to visit web merchants, compared with 18.7% in 2012. And, it notes that shoppers plan to be especially mobile in their Easter shopping endeavors.
The trade group, which bases its findings on an online survey of 5,050 consumers conducted by BigInsight between March 5 and March 11, finds at least 14.8% of those surveyed who own a smartphone plan to use those devices to buy Easter items, with 25.9% expecting to use the phones to research products and compare prices. 19.6% of respondents with smartphones plan to use them to look up such information as retail store hours and location.
Meanwhile, 34.7% of survey respondents report owning tablets. Of those consumers, at least 22.1% say they will use the devices for Easter-related purchases, with 34.0% planning to conduct product searches and compare prices. 13.9% of tablet owners say they will use apps to research or buy items and 10.7% of smartphone owners say the same. When it comes to getting deals, 16.3% of tablet owners say they will redeem coupons via their devices and 16.9% of smartphone owners say the same.
Payless is No. 320 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide. Piperlime is owned by Gap Inc., No. 128; Barnes & Noble is No. 32, and Pro Flowers is owned by Liberty Interactive Corp., No. 7. All About Dance is No. 927 in the Second 500 Guide.

It appears the form of wing Willie le Roux is attracting attention from clubs in Japan and France, according to a report in South Africa.
It seems the fine form of wing Willie le Roux is attracting attention from clubs in Japan and France, according to one report in South Africa on Tuesday.
The Cheetahs star has sealed back-to-back man-of-the-match awards over recent weeks but has been catching the eye for over two years now.
According to Volkslbad, Le Roux is in demand and despite his union, Griquas, set to offer him improved terms when his contract runs out, clubs with greater financial clout are apparently circling.
"Willie's contract with Griquas ends on October 31. We'll definitely make a big offer to retain his services. However, other clubs from outside are making offers worth millions of rands which will make it very tough for us to keep him," Griquas CEO, Arni van Rooyen told the newspaper.
23-year-old Le Roux was recently left out of Springbok head coach Heyneke Meyer's training squad that met in Cape Town from April 14 to 16.

Excellent ProductI have naturally course/wavy/frizzy hair. I have been trying for years to find a product that would protect my hair and make it shiny, smooth, and healthy. I have been using this product for months, and it makes my hair easier to straighten and have noticably less breakage. I would recommend leaving the mask on for 10-15 minutes, which is annoying at times if you are in a hurry. I use the whole line including the shampoo and serum because they all work well together. It is a great product because I actually get comments on how healthy and shiny my hair looks now!Mar 8, 2008Missy

RICHMOND -- I moved to Redmond & unfortunately there seems to be only Comcast that can provide both internet & cable at my apartment. After several hours of being on hold, etc with Verizon, they somehow cannot provide internet services despite the tenant on the 3rd floor having it. So great, that leaves Comcast.
Problems started as soon as service started. First, let me say that I have a very new expensive modem & router that I bought when I moved here. So, Comcast tech came on a Friday morning to hook up a wire (really I could likely have done it myself). All is well, so I thought. The following week I keep getting messages that service wasn't connected. I finally talk to someone that Wed & advise yes indeed services started, BUT that I wasn't getting the 45 channels I had agreed on over the phone with Comcast sales representative & instead was getting only 10 channels. Nothing she could do of course but was glad service was indeed started.
Then it got worse as just 2 days later, service was shut off. Why oh why? I called on Saturday & told they were too busy to deal with my call. WHAT? Advised to call back the next day. Called on Sunday, again on hold & switched to multiple people only to be told to call back on Monday to talk to a technician. Called on Monday & told service stopped because it was never completed despite THEM having a log of phone call with a representative previous week saying yes service was started. Also told I signed up for only 10 channels. Really? How about going back to the "phone recording" of the call to sales representative because we did say 45 channels.
Things got only worse... Ready for this... If I want to continue service it will now cost $30 more per month because the "special" I signed up for is only available online to first-time customers. Are you freaking kidding me? COMCAST makes the mistake and even admits they made the mistake of cutting off the service but now you're going to pull a stunt like this? Comcast representative didn't even care to make it right & wouldn't let me talk to her supervisor.
Couple of weeks go by & I get a call from a Comcast representative who wants to know if I'm happy with the service. ARE YOU KIDDING? I don't have the damn service. Tell him the story & the BS of being put on hold for countless hours & then only to be told I have to talk to someone else... He wants to make it right. Ah but I still can't get the same package for the price I signed up for because that "special" is over. Seriously people.
I need to have internet at the apartment for work purposes. I can't rely on walking over to the library every time I need to be on it. So, he's going to make it right by telling me I can have such & such package which is way more channels (I don't watch a lot of TV but of course the 3 channels I do enjoy are on the higher package) & I will have internet at the Blast level (which means 150 mbps). Ah but it's going to cost $30 more per month than what I originally signed up for.
So all that is needed is for Comcast to send a cable box. A SIMPLE cable box. But no, they can't even get that correct. They send the wrong box & then are going to charge a rental fee for a box that is incorrect. I already have a modem & router, don't need the unit you've sent AND I heard Joe (the rep) tell the person this on the phone since Joe was standing there next to me. He repeatedly told whoever at Comcast that I only need the cable box for such and such TV package. The guy on the other end sounded (yes I could hear him) like an idiot. He just couldn't get it through his head what Joe was saying. Why surprised I'd get the wrong thing?
So, now have to wait for the correct cable box to show up (yet again more delays & errors on Comcast's part). Find out that not getting 150mbps but only 25. Another 2 hour call to Comcast. Rep says "Yes I see that on the bill that you were upgraded to 150 at no cost to you. However, on the bill is the error of being charged for a combo modem/router that you aren't using (don't even have it because Joe took it with him when he left)." So she's going to correct that (yeah haven't gotten the new bill yet so we'll see). But there's nothing she can do about not receiving the 150 mbps. A technician will have to come over (yet again).
He shows up & calls in to Comcast. They tell him I'm signed up for only 25mbps. I show him the bill. He tells them that, & they tell him he's wrong. Are you ** kidding me? It says it on the bill. Another call into Joe. He's going to get it corrected. That was over a week ago. Guess what? Do you think it's running at 150? Hell no.
I will never do business with this company again. In fact, as soon as an alternative comes around, I will rather pay termination fees than to continue dealing with Comcast. Clearly they do not care about customers. They do not care about making things right or heaven forbid offering some kind of real compensation for THEIR errors.
And I have been telling everyone and anyone about what's happened. Absolute BS & to have to go through the phone system only to be put on hold for hours on end & told "you need to talk to such & such a dept" only to have go through the phone prompt system all over & re-explain all over is just crap. NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH COMCAST!
KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE -- Comcast is the WORST company I have EVER dealt with. I have been trying for 3 weeks now to get service with them because unfortunately they are the ONLY internet providers in our new neighborhood! Unless we want DSL which is impossible since I need the Internet for my work. I keep getting the runaround with this company and no one is properly trained with the correct information. Then their agents you contact who are in other states such as Illinois or Mississippi who tell you they are going to follow-up on how service is coming along, NEVER DO.
Training of staff needs to be updated so that they are all on the same page instead of having techs who come to the house and tell you they cannot install inside because the cable hasn't been buried outside the new home and then contacting an agent on the phone who says yes they can install inside without the cable being buried, or another agent who says "Oh, even if that tech had been on time he couldn't have done the work inside because the cable isn't buried yet".
All of this may have been avoided to begin with if the second agent I spoke with on the phone on June 24th had not dismissed my call telling her the house was a new construction to begin with and I was told may need to have line buried outside. To top it off, when a tech came out to bury the line two weeks later we are told that who installed the fire hydrant crushed the cable pipe so now Comcast needs to contact 811 so they can mark where Comcast can bury the line as to not bust any pipes themselves. They tell us it will take 24-48 hours to do so, which would have been July 7th or July 8th and then he (the tech to bury the line) would be back that weekend, July 9th or 10th.
Here we are a week from July 6th and 811 STILL had not been contacted to come out. I know this because I called them on July 10th myself as well as just now. Comcast is the WORST company I have dealt with! So if you have ANY other choice in your area, take it! I know I would.
NEWARK, DELAWARE -- Because they even do not deserve a single one. I was using Comcast and moved to somewhere else. Then I transferred my service. One year later, my service was disconnected for no reason. Then they charged me disconnection and reconnection fee for $190. I fight with them for at least 3-4 days. Then they waived these fees. But later, my dissatisfaction with them made me move to Verizon.
Now, they claim that I have a contract with them and they ask for early termination, although I did not sign up with any contract. I realized that they sign me up without my permission and put those waived fees on my early termination penalty. Now they want me pay those fees. I would never recommend Comcast to my friends. STAY AWAY!!!
RINGGOLD, VIRGINIA -- My internet went down due to storm, after I put in ticket. Agent stated tech will be there tomorrow between this and that time. He never showed up next day. I called again, agent stated, "Tech will be there tomorrow." Tech never showed up. I called the next day again, agent stated, "There is no ticket." I put in another ticket - same thing happened. I called again to follow up the ticket, agent stated, "There is no ticket." No one called. I called again and again for 8 days after yelling and cursing, finally on the 10th day someone showed up, but issue still not resolved. This is not my first-time service with them. Where I live only Comcast provides service.
After countless unpleasant, extensive and disappointing phone calls attempting to get to the root of my Blast Internet speed problems, being bounced from department to department, having my escalated calls cancelled and "restarted" multiple times, charging additional "service" fees, XFINITY rescinded the initial account credit offer citing that I, their "Valued Customer" "called too many times". I find it extremely disappointing and disheartening that this is what XFINITY calls customer service!
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- After 14 months, I moved out of my office to an executive suite with existing internet service. The scumbags at Comcast would not reduce the early termination clause of 75% of the full contract amount. This is sheer robbery. Avoid using Comcast!! AT&T Uverse, DIRECTV, Dish...whatever you can do.
LAKE JACKSON, TEXAS -- What I TRIED to send in email via Comcast's "cute" little "write to Jack" feature, soliciting customer feedback so that they can "continue to improve" the impeccable customer service they claim to insist on?!? ROTFL!!! Of course, when I actually attempted to SEND this email, I got an error message directing me to call COMCAST'S "friendly courteous and capable customer service team".... Er, yeah... THAT'S what I want to do. WHO IN THE HECK TO THEY THINK THEY'RE KIDDING?!
Why not just switch providers? Because every other one of the very short list of "competitors" in this monopoly industry is just as awful. GOVERNMENT endorsed corruption across the board. COMPLETELY NAUSEATING (I AM going to figure out some way to escape this horrid hostage situation - by hook or by crook so help me lord)...
Only the latest in ongoing unimaginably horrible service problems. Do you people think this is funny? I cannot even imagine telling a client that it is their job to repeatedly call and beg and talk to no one other than idiots who can do nothing but read from scripts - endless "on hold" in torture chamber of being subjected to horrendous marketing blather - as if I want to buy additional services from a company that can't provide my basic home telephone service. How can you possibly pretend any of this has anything to do with "excellence"? Can't imagine any context in which anyone could characterize this idiocy as anything remotely having to do with that word.
Following is in inverse chrono. THIRD ATTEMPT: Having determined that ** is a clueless imbecile, but still desperate to get my phone service working, at 10:40 pm I AGAIN called 1-800-934-6489. I AGAIN was put on hold in endless recordings. Hell for ANOTHER 20 minutes until I finally got through to ** in the Philippines. ** said he's worked for Comcast for three years, so I was hopeful he would be more helpful than **. NO SUCH LUCK.
After 15 minutes of same little game as I'd already endured with ** ("I'm sorry, ma'am - I'm doing all I can, my very best, but the tech support line is still busy"), I threw in the towel. I guess the gambit is just to weed out customers by attrition, rather than offer actual support. I am LIVID. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
Already endured this cr - TEN SOLID DAYS OF CALLING & BEGGING AND BEGGING & CALLING in Dec. 2013... And since then more about every 2 months with huge bottomless pit of service crashes/malfunctions. Might be funny in a sitcom, but even there I doubt it.
Clearly your company has nothing but contempt for your customer's time and energy. I don't work for Comcast. I am supposedly your customer. But you'd certainly never know it. I do not have time for this ridiculous nonsense. Entirely deplorable excuse for a company - and for that matter an industry. I'm at my wits' end. I have no idea how to get any kind of service out of your sorry company.
SECOND ATTEMPT: CALLED 1-800-934-6489 @ 8:00 p.m. Thurs., July 31 2014. After waiting on hold with ENDLESS excruciating Comcast ads and self-promotion, hostage AND tortured, all characterized as "EXCELLENT"- insane! Talked to "customer account executive"- HA! "Executive"? Treating your customers as stupid chumps? SERIOUSLY??? ABSURD! -** in the Philippines who has worked for COMCAST for a whopping month.
Told me he was trying to connect me to the people who know how to help me. This went on for TWO AND A HALF HOURS!!! NEVER GOT THROUGH to ANYONE!!! ** kept saying that he really wanted to help me and he was doing everything in his power but all of the tech support people were very busy... blah blah blah AD NAUSEAM. Finally had to GIVE UP - after TWO AND A HALF HOURS!!! (THAT bears repeating!!!). Including being subjected to endless recordings telling me how much Comcast values my business and I just need to stay on the line and a "customer support account executive" would soon be available to help me.
FIRST ATTEMPT: After absolutely no luck with any of the "online resources" @ Comcast website: 1/2 HOUR on telephone w/ ** in the Philippines who told me she had my problem all fixed. SHE DID NOT: Called Comcast Service Dept. (Thurs. July 31 2014 @ 5:15 p.m.) @ 1-800-447-9085, and spoke with ** (re telephone service for 979-265-5842).
** said she thinks that the problem is that this telephone service & modem are still connected to the "old network" (why I have to call customer service in order to "get migrated" instead of that happening automatically, I have no idea). And that telephone service can be immediately restored & repaired by: "migrating" the phone & modem to Comcast's "new network".
Process - requires downloading different data to modem, which will cause a brief internet service interruption; after the "download & migration", the service will be "re-activated" or "activated" on the "new network"; process takes about 20 minutes, following which service/ all services - telephone, internet & TV - should be restored to just the same as they were before (including same settings, etc.) EXCEPT with phone service WORKING and all services better & more reliable going forward.
** recap of what she did, in Comcast Lingo, is: "registered" my modem to Comcast's "new network", "created a switch to assign a modem to a new number, as part of the activation process". Result should be that my modem should have one telephone line (same as before, same as always). ** added these instructions: Make sure telephone line is connected/plugged into modem "phone port" (i.e., NOT plugged into the wall jack.) Any continuing or future problems, call Comcast support at: 1-800-934-6489 (available 24/7) or 1-800-447-9085 (line I called & got **, but NOT available 24/7).
CORPORATE: PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- I chose this location in Philadelphia because according to Google it is the corporate location. The biggest issue with Comcast is its customer service. The Comcast Customer Service reps lack knowledge about the product and services; they lack customer service integrity and loyalty to the brand. They are reckless regarding the customer experience and potential liabilities resulting from their lack of knowledge and proper response to client issues.
When a customer is paying outrageous charges just to watch TV and they call Comcast regarding an issue; a question; education or guidance, the customer is calling a Comcast Representative, because they truly believe that representative will be able to help them. As a representative the Comcast Rep should be knowledgeable enough to give the customer right and true answers and/or guidance.
If the Comcast Rep cannot do that, who should the customer call? Unfortunately, if a Comcast customer service representative gives you the WRONG information, and you believe them because they are a COMCAST Customer service "REPRESENTATIVE", (that you called for help), if the information turns out to be wrong, YOU are Doomed. Even if, you have a copy of the CHAT with the representative giving you WRONG information in the CHAT. It does not matter that the person you called for help is wrong...You the paying customer are still liable.
Also be aware that since Comcast uses contractors for installations and sales, if some of your personal equipment goes missing from your home during installation, you may get some free channels. If you call Comcast customer service and get a representative who happens to be a contractor, they may offer you better services with another cable company, instead of focusing on your issue with Comcast. Just make sure that the representative who is trying to sell you another service company at least addresses your issue with Comcast before you hang up.
If you call Comcast to complain about the Comcast customer service representative who offered you services with AT&T U-verse; who kept your phone number and calls you regularly to see if you will consider letting them set you up with another Cable company; and the Comcast representative that you get to make this complaint says; "that happens sometimes because the representative was a contractor", you are again on your own.
I was with Comcast as a new customer for only 4 months. It is remarkable how they tell you that the conversation may be recorded, but they just so happen NOT to have a copy of the recording where you are later disputing the contents of a conversation with another representative.
My experience with Comcast is NOT over. I still receive phone calls regarding retention, from reps who are not aware that I have not been a cable or internet customer for 2 months now. This is another example of poor organization and administrative protocol. I am still being billed for the security service I requested be canceled 4 months ago and the equipment picked up 2 weeks ago.
I received another call today (3/5/14) from a Comcast Service representative asking me about retention for keeping the cable and internet services that were canceled and equipment returned on 1/22/2014. At this time I was also notified that I would be receiving a final bill which includes a $1000 early termination fee for the security service I called within the grace period to terminate 4 months ago.
What is so ironic about that call on 11/29/2013 is that when the Xfinity home rep could not tell me how to stop the touch pad from beeping and I said "I don't think this is the system for us; how do I cancel?" The representative said, "I can go ahead an get that started...you are within your 30 day period. I said "Really!!! I didn't even know I had a 30 day period." It is convenient how Comcast has a record of most of my calls regarding my complaints and issues, but absolutely no record of the call I made 11/29/13 the day after Thanks Giving, to request cancellation of the Xfinity security services.
In Closing: it's like imagining a Mafia experience from its portrayal on TV or in Movies. I can now imagine what that might feel like from the perspective of someone unknowingly getting involved with a group, person or company that is willing to benefit from them at any cost and in some way regardless of the injury as long as they prevail.
Before you order Comcast consider the recurring issues in the reviews, i.e., Customer Service Reps. Consider the cost of doing business with Comcast in general or if there is an issue that you need them to solve. Consider how they got so big even with such a high rate of complaints. AND... Consider how vulnerable you are if Comcast is the only provider in your area, then hope you get lucky, like some reviewers on this review site. In any case be careful.
KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE -- They do not even deserve a star. Horrible customer service! Hence why they are the worst Customer Service 8 yrs IN A ROW! I am so tired of excuses. Just please give me service! If I could pay $1,000 to have any company besides them I would! I am getting the worst runaround with no answer...just another 3 weeks...and he went on vacation which cost me another week because nobody can do his job... For this type of company I would expect so much better. If you have any other option - DIRECTV, anything - go with them! I will dropping my home Comcast and getting DIRECTV this week!
HIALEAH, FLORIDA -- Just renew my contract with Comcast and Sept 29, 2015. With agreement with no changes with my internet. Then Oct. 1, 2015, they announced that the whole state of Florida will have to pay $10 extra for over 300 gig of 50 gig of data or pay $30 extra for unlimited. I call customer support, waiting for ten min, got bounced to different countries (Philippines, India and Mexico). The call lasted over 1 1/2 hours.
The different customer support would not transfer me to a person in the United States because they had poor language dialect. They would not honor my new contract, even when the contact stated that I had no changes on my internet. I had to pay the extra money for the unlimited internet. But I had a better internet company in Hialeah, Florida. I would cancel all Comcast service.

Reaction Innovations Double Wide Beaver 5.20 6pk
Reaction Innovations' soft plastics have taken the bass fishing world by storm! The reason for their wild success is obvious when you look at their baits. The plastic is soft and flexible but tough enough to stay up on the hook. They are loaded with salt for the natural taste a bass needs to hold on longer, and their unique designs are unlike anything else on the market today. But maybe the biggest reason for their success with fishermen and with the fish are the fantastic colors they are able to put into these baits. Noted bass pro and owner of Reaction Innovations, Andre Moore, has the on-the-water experience and bass catching know-how to design the right bait and produce the right colors to consistently catch fish. The Double Wide Beaver is the larger version of the very popular Sweet Beaver and is designed for flipping big fish. This bait moves a lot of water with the ribbing on the side, the large double paddle tail and the shorter paddles set at 90 degrees. The fantastic two and three color shots Reaction Innovations has been able to perfect gives these baits the intricate color patterns of a hand pour at the price of injected baits. If flipping heavy cover for big bass is part of your winning strategy, the Double Wide Beaver should be at the end of your line.

Comments: Best thing since the Brush/SuperHog. I like em on a weighted SB hook or EWG weightless. Turn it on its side for a Post Bluegill. On a Senko bite you can throw it on a real set up and weed out the dinks. Grab any color and fish with confidence.
From: Outcast: San Jose, CA 6/4/14
Comments: Catch fish like nothing else. Theres a thousand copies of these for a reason. Pretty much the starting bait on my punching setup, and if they want a smaller bait, the 4.20 on.
Comments: Damn..great bait. 3 fish one 2.5lbs another about 3.5 then a 6 pounder! baits are pretty durable... they lasted me 1 bait for 1 or 2 fish
Comments: Fantastic bait. It's compact profile make it a great flippin' bait. The plastic is nice and soft, so the bass grab it and hold on longer. I was flippin' Penetration colored Reaction Innovation DW Beavers on Lake Ida and Okeechobee on a recent visit to Florida and the bass were slaying the bait.
From: Matt: Lake Hopatcong, NJ
Comments: This bait is by far one of the best flipping baits on the market. Put this bait on 40 pound braid 7'6" heavy carrot Stix and a Quantum Accurist PT reel and you catch big fish all day. IT also has a great action. They are the best in Junebug and Oxblood. GREAT PRODUCT!!!
Comments: i cant tell You how much i like these baits dad had one on the floor of the boat when we (me) were clening after a trip to the lake. here i am at the pond fishing and i figrd id try it and i crushed them ever since then i cant put them down!!
From: Glen: Centerton, AR
Comments: Fished a tournament on a lake after it had been pounded all night with a night tournament. I saw everyone else fishing finesse cause of the pressure and I went with a 5.20 in penetration. I won by over 10 pounds with my smallest going 4lbs. Biggest in rest of field was around 2lbs. Oh yeah I only weighed in 4 fish too.

Wish List: Christine Whitney
Subtlety. It speaks volumes. While spectacle and theater have had the tired fashion herd in a tizzy, Christophe Lemaire quietly and effectively closed out the Spring 2014 season with a casual, luxurious, effortless Hermes collection. Why cause drama, his clothes whispered, when you can glide into a room looking like a million dollars without flashing it about?
The clothes took their cue from the lush hothouse botanicals they were set against. Foulard leaf prints—abstract and literal—were cut into loose skirts, roomy cinched dresses and oversized shirts. Meanwhile, dark green made a luxe statement done as a croc skirt or wrapped leather coat.
