And mobile sales climb 184% year over year, IMRG says.
Katie Evans
The star of online sales growth in the U.K. last month was mobile commerce, according to a new report from global business and technology consultancy Capgemini and U.K. e-retail association Interactive Media in Retail Group.
Mobile sales increased 184% last month compared with February 2012, the report says. Meanwhile, online sales overall grew 13% last month year over year. The two groups did not release actual spending figures but project 12% e-retail growth for 2013.
The year-over-year sales growth in February 2013 was lower than for previous months. Mobile sales increased 207% year over year in December and 193% in January, IMRG and Capgemini say. Year-over-year growth in 2012 was 304%.
Mobile conversion rates stood at 2.3% last month. During 2011, the average conversion rate via mobile devices was 1%. In November 2012 it surpassed 2% for the first time, and it has not dropped below that figure since, hitting a high of 2.6% in January 2013, the report says.
For online retail in general, the report also says consumers in February were spending less per order than during the same month last year. While nearly all online retail categories recorded double-digit year-over-year growth in February, the average order values were largely down with the exception of those linked to Valentine's Day. The average order value for gifts, health and beauty, and lingerie categories increased 36%, 8% and 9%, respectively, year over year. However, average order value across all online retailers in the U.K. was at its lowest since October 2008. The report did not provide the actual order values.
Peter Ahl, CEO of online florist SerenataFlowers.com, says his company's online sales benefited from Valentine's Day shoppers last month."We saw robust growth of more than 30% compared to last February, which is one of the floral peak months of the year," Ahl says. "Our sales from returning customers were up by more than 80%, whereas new customer sales were more modest in both order size and new customer growth."

"I thought, for sure, Timberland's would be comfortable. Wrong! These hurt my feet so much. I've tried to 'break them in' but it's not working. My toes get cut up in a different location every time I wear them. The toe opening is way to large that my feet are falling too far forward. I'm disappointed. I wanted these to be my favorite summer sandals."

VolumeBeen using this for years. I put it on wet and blow dry upside down. Next I straighten it. Haven't found a comparable product yet although I keep searching. My only complaint is that I have to continuously buy more because it runs out after a few months and the top part if not careful can break off easily (like if you drop it) and then everything that comes out comes out watery. Overall still looking for something that gives me this amount of volume that I don't run out of so often. Gives your hair just enough volume to look healthy. If I don't use it my hair looks horrible. It is the only product I use in my hair at the moment.Feb 11, 2013Madeleine C. / Seatac, WAHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair

Strike King KVD Perfect Plastic Caffeine Shad 5" 8pk
The Strike King Caffeine Shad has a unique bubble tail to give this topwater shad bait an action never seen before in a soft jerk bait. Use it weightless and twitch it for topwater bite and subsurface action. Fish the Caffeine Shad on a Carolina rig or jighead for that deep water bite. The new Caffeine Shad contains the worlds best blend of soft plastic ingredients! This allows the use of large amounts of salt yet keeps the bait soft and pliable. The coffee scent masks human scents and oils providing longer hold times and increasing your hook-up chances.
Click here to see some video on Strike King baits with Phil Marks at ICAST '08.
The Strike King Perfect Plastic Caffeine Shad was one the baits KVD used to secure his fifth Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year at the Evan Williams Bourbon Trophy Triumph on the Alabama River in Montgomery, Ala. Kevin VanDam's two-day total of 30-06 was almost 8 pounds better than second-place Tommy Biffle, giving KVD the AOY title by a mere six points over Skeet Reese.
"One of my very best places was a super-shallow hard spot. That's where I caught them yesterday. I threw a Strike King Series 1 XS (crankbait) and Strike King Caffeine Shad (soft jerkbait). Today I fished the midriver with a Strike King Series 6 in sexy shad, and caught a couple on a Strike King 3 1/2-inch Shadilicious (swimbait) on a jighead." -Kevin VanDam (2009 BASS Elite Series Angler of the Year)

Customer Reviews
Comments: Flat out awesome! This is my go when nothing else works & never lets me down; I always have a rod with one tied on. KVD Magic is my favorite but any "green" color works.
From: Paul: TX 3/23/16
Comments: One of the best baits I use, and I fish every day. I pair the Green Pumpkin Sapphire with the Terminator In Line Spinner (dump the grubs that come with it) and burn this down the shoreline over the weeds. Keeps it weedless and bass crush it in shallow water. Caught many 5-8 pounders this way
From: Rob: Boca Raton, FL 7/24/14
Comments: Ok heres the deal.. these are money. Problem is they will cost you money cause they rip so easy. I've torn the tip just lightly yanking it free from weeds and where are there no weeds around the lakes where bass live? My Yum flukes are almost as good but last alot longer. so yea these are great and the action is great but the reason for the action is cause they are so delicate. I'm still gonna use them tho just not around weeds.
From: Ric: NJ 6/13/14
Comments: Time and time again, during a hot fluke bite, I try this. Time and time again, it doesn't get bit. I tried them like a Senko, too, but I will stick to Senkos for that. Not sure what the deal is but it isn't just me.
From: Jay6: USA 4/22/14
Comments: How I use them I cast it out in kill it let fall watch your line take off I just started using this kvd jerkbait great hands down
From: Tav: columbia, .sc
Comments: this bait is awesome but its not that durable.
From: Luke: graham Texas U.S.A
Comments: White and baby bass colors are the best. I have fished them in Maine and had great success there. Most water there is stained red and the white and baby bass really stand out. The action is amazing. Can chuck them a country mile and the action on the fall is amazing. I like to work them like a worm on the bottom. Really mimics a bait fish feeding on the bottom. Throw them into cover and burn them out, and let it fall. That's when the fun begins.
From: Manny: Adairsville, Georgia, USA
Comments: These caffiene shads are awesome!! Me and my friend went fishing Saturday and it was only my third time going to this lake, I pulled out a caffiene shad and went to work!! I went through a whole pack in about 5 hours!! They tore em Up! I'd recommend this bait to anyone!!
From: Will: New Albany, MS
Comments: During these cold months I have only been getting bites on these caffeine shads! They Rock! I use them weightless on a 5/0 gamakatsu hook and I promise you they will get you hooked up to big fish! I have caught my biggest bass on this bait! They will not let you down! My favorite color is the watermelon red flake. The scent it strong and the durability is about a 7 on a scale from 1-10. The best jerk bait on the market!
From: Sydney: Valrico, FL
Comments: The caffeine shad is a good bait but you will find that the zoom flukes catch more fish. Producing fish when the caffeine shad will not. It might of been the way i was working them but the caffeine shad are not as productive as the flukes(i used them like a fluke). Maybe i will have to try swimming them. If i were to buy a bait that you swim i would rather go with the keitech shad impact(4"). The price difference is another reason i choose flukes. You pay about 35 cents per fluke, and you pay about 57 cents for the caffeine shad, which haven't been durable for me. I have had better experiences with the fluke which i am going to stay with.
From: TX
Comments: I am a Fluke fanatic, but the fluke has met its match. This bait is more versatile than the fluke in so many ways. It cast a mile, and if you are wanting that vertical fall, this thing is amazing. It also has so much action its unfair!!
From: Adrian: Dublin, GA
Comments: i bought the blue glimmer pearl belly and KVD magic both sensational baits i throw it on a 3/0 deep throat wide gap Gamakatsu and this past saturday wore them out on blue glimmer pearl belly. Im a zoom fluke kinda guy though but these out fish the zoom flukes by a long shot. LOVE THESE CAFFEINE SHAD AND WILL BE PURCHASING MORE IN THE TIME TO COME. WOW!
From: Davis: Hoover, AL
Comments: Great little jerk bait I like these better than a Zoom fluke dont get me wrong I still use my Zooms but these catch a little bit better IMHO.
From: Lance: Livingston, TX
Comments: The best soft jerk bait I've ever used.But I am a zoom fluke kinda guy but these all I can say AWSOME! I use the kvd magic and the blue glimmer pearl belly both sensation soft plastics. I rig them Texas style with a 3/0 Gamakatsu deep throat wide gap I have fished them topwater and on the fall and some of zoom custumer's might want to consider trying this.
From: Davis: Hoover
Comments: EXCELLENT Lure. It is very soft and has a lot of action as it sinks. Cast it near a laydown and wait as it slowly sinks. Any nearby bass will attak. The Caffeine Shad has a subtle quiver as it drops, which makes it look alive. However, you are trading durability for this soft composition. In my opinion, it is absolutely worth it! That's why I buy 3 or 4 packs at a time. Bass love them.
From: Walt: Maryland
Comments: I am not much of a fluke guy but my dad is and he was wearin me out with one of these and i gave it a try and this is now one of my go to baits great bait and the coffee scent is great.
From: Tristan: Hoover, AL
Comments: Fish these baits as you would a Senko AND a Fluke- I can work these just like a Fluke....When I stop my retrieve,(The suttle wiggle, waqging -tail fall) thats when things get interesting!
From: Rusty
Comments: You aren't supposed to fish these like your normal "zoom" flukes. They are actually meat to be fished top water and act like a fleeing shad. They really mimic that well and i have had some good bass caught on them that way. You gotta burn em and kill it though and the bass will hammer it once you kill it
Comments: Awesome baits!!! Especially the smoky shad color!
From: TX
Comments: terrible, i don't like these at all they aren't durable and sink like a rock and don't get bit like the zoom flukes i wont be buying more I'll stick with zoom
From: TX
Comments: I'm a zoom guy always have been, but I decided to try these anyway to see what all the fuss was about. Well I don't see why, they have so much salt in them they don't hold up at all, they started tearing just by twitching them in the water, and they were so dense they sank like a rock straight to the bottom, no chance for any shimmy on the fall or anything. And I like to fish my flukes in different ways, but in late fall, which it still is in central florida i like to twitch my flukes slow so they walk just below the surface, not really jumping or anything, well with these, no such luck, i thought with them being so dense they would do it better, but they jumped every twitch, and despite there extra weight, that the zoom flukes don't have the zoom flukes casted farther. I'm sticking with my zooms from now on, basically the same colors, but the zooms are cheaper, hold up better, and have better action on the fall and the twitch. You strike king guys can have all these you want I don't need them, zoom is still making the best plastics out there.
From: Ben: FL
Comments: Best fluke ever created. The action of these things are amazing. Long story short, if you like zoom flukes it's because you haven't tried these yet.
From: Brandon: Virginia, USA
Comments: Deadly soft jerk bait,best i've ever used.White and Baby Bass killed them this morning and cast like a rocket.I'm addicted.
From: Tony: West Chester, PA
Comments: As a proud Georgian, I was raised on Zoom Plastics, but I have to admit that Strike King Perfect Plastics are by far the best I've ever used and the Caffeine Shad is at the top of the list. It's super soft and the bulbous tail makes it walk, dart and twitch unlike any other fluke-type bait. When you kill it, it shimmies like a Senko. Deadly, deadly bait.
From: Alan: Calhoun, GA
Comments: Alright all i can say is that this is the best fluke on earth! These things are 100 times better than zoom flukes, the bait is so much softer than zoom flukes so you will get ALOT better action in the water. Since this bait is so soft if you cast it out weightless in will slowly sink, and while it sinks the tail floats up and the bass can not resist it. If you dont believe me just buy a pack in smokey shad and see what happens......

Comments:Great bait, I just bought it in smokey shad color and have already caught three 5 pound bass on them. Just like the Zoom Fluke except a different tail.

Are your students struggling in class? Come to the CLR!
The mission of the Center for Learning Resources (CLR) is to provide academic content support to the students of the University of New Haven using metacognitive strategies that help students become aware of and learn to apply optimal learning processes in the pursuit of creating independent learners. CLR tutors focus sessions on discussions of concepts and processes and typically use external examples to help students grasp and apply the material. In the Writing Lab, tutors address papers with the goals of helping students recognize patterns of strengths and weaknesses and learning to independently correct the latter. The CLR promotes an environment of nonjudgmental support, listening to the needs of our students, and working to provide lessons geared toward the individual learning style of each student.
Weekly Email Notifications
The Center for Learning Resources offers a weekly notification service to all professors at the University of New Haven. When a student visits a tutor at the CLR, they are asked if they wish to report the visit to their instructor. All visits by students who confirm this feature are generated as reports which are sent out on Monday of each week. The report will include the student, the tutor, the length of visit and any session notes, which allows the professor to determine what areas the student may be struggling in.
Student viist reports are also sent out around midterms and finals for undergraduate students. If you have any questions regarding a student's visit, pelase feel free to contact Ms. Debbie Malewicki at email@example.com.
Tutor Candidates
Do you know an outstanding student who might be interested in tutoring for the CLR? Student tutors need to maintain a 3.4 GPA and receive A-range grades for the subject they are tutoring. If you know any students who meet these requirements, be sure to inform Ms. Debbie Malewicki at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you for your support!

Time to go after the anonymous on the blogosphere
It is well documented that I am not a fan of people who comment anonymously on the Internet. In October 2007, I quoted from a column by Dennis Prager entitled, "Internet anonymity is as destructive as Internet porn":
"There is something at least as awful -- and arguably more destructive -- that permeates the Internet: the lies, vitriol, obscenities and ad hominem attacks made by anonymous individuals on almost every website that deals with public issues.
Being identifiable breeds responsibility; anonymity breeds irresponsibility.
Anonymity only enables people to more freely express their feelings. Anonymity values feelings over thought, and immediate expression over thoughtful reflection.
There is not one good reason for any website, left or right, or non-political, to allow people to avoid identifying themselves. Anyone interested in serious political discourse, or in merely lowering the hate levels in our country, should welcome the banning of anonymous postings."
Writers using false identities have plagued the NOW blogosphere, including this web site. I've written a lot about how wrong and dangerous this practice can be.
Anonymous bloggers and commenters are all cowards. Even those with the best intentions are, to some degree, cowardly by the very fact they refuse to identity themselves. I would include anyone who poses as someone else, making up a phony name or identity.
Good for the judge. Good for the victims who cried enough is enough.
The trend is that more lawsuits are being filed by the defamed. Judges are reluctant to side with victims, citing freedom of speech. News outlets like the Indianapolis Star absurdly believe that "the popular, free-wheeling public comment boards that news outlets run" are "part of their legitimate news-gathering efforts." How low have journalistic standards plummeted that anyone with a keyboard can make up anything they want, submit anonymously for all the world to see on a daily newspaper's website, and it more than passes the smell test according to the paper's brass.
These editors ought to be ashamed of themselves.
What travesty will it take before supposed journalistic websites develop standards that will once and for all prevent the despicable damage caused by anonymous cowards?

Plow & Hearth offers unique, high-quality products for home, hearth, yard and garden.After looking at the site for about an hour I decided to chose to review a Cable Knit Rug for the entry of my kitchen. This rug fits and looks perfect. Hailee likes the rug and says it is nice & soft/cuddly to walk on. I love that the latex back prevents it from slipping and slidding all over. It has stayed in one spot since I layed in down!
The rug comes in two sizes and 3 colors. I would love to also get the 30"W x 50"L to put near my sink!

Skip to comments.Trayvon's Tweets and Black Hate Crimes (the real truth about interracial violence)
Posted on 03/31/2012 9:03:04 AM PDT by Cubs Fan
In the same time period as the Trayvon Martin incident, documents VDAREs Peter Bradley, a multitude of anti-white attacks by blacks occurred that remained strictly local news.
In Kansas City, a 13-year-old white boy named Allen Coon was doused with gasoline and set on fire by two older blacks saying, This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy.
Haley Pettersen, a 15-year-old white girl in a leg cast in OFallon, Ill., was out walking her dog when she was attacked by two black girls who said, This is our territory white girl. One girl grabbed Haley by the hair, and the other one started hitting her in the face...
In Kansas City, an unnamed 50-year-old white man was left with a fractured hip and other injuries after being beaten by a group of blacks shouting racial epithets.
Gary Allder, a white man in San Antonio, came home to find that his house had been burglarized, ransacked and tagged with racial slurs such as Die Whitey.
Travis Eugene Winemiller, 16, a white Polk County, Fla., inmate, was beaten, choked and strangled until he was unconscious by three black inmates. They then hogtied Winemiller and said, This is how you slave a real cracker, and threatened to kill him.
Jacob Appel, a 15-year-old autistic white boy, was attacked by three blacks at his bus stop in Palm Bay, Fla. The blacks taunted, used racial slurs and chased the victim into the street where he was nearly struck by a car...
On the facts, an honest conversation about race would quickly dispense with the canard that blacks are habitually persecuted by whites. They are not.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
So my question is, who is actually "oppressing" who?
Duh, but blacks is justified in attacking whites because of...uh...slavery and...racism, ya know/sarc
Been pointing this out on a lot of threads about Trayvon Martin and the majority of responses I get boil down to "Blacks have been forced to resort to violence to achieve equality because of white oppression".
When he says "white" criminals, does that include hispanics?
Reason no longer works in this country. Time for stockpiling ammo....
The longest war America has ever fought is the Dirty War, and it is not over. It has lasted more than 30 years so far and claimed more than 25 million victims. It has cost almost as many lives as the Vietnam War.
Yet the American news media do not want to talk about the Dirty
War, which remains between the lines and unreported. In fact, to
even suggest that the war exists is to be discredited and disbelieved. So lets start suggesting, immediately. No matter how crime figures are massaged by those who want to acknowledge or dispute the existence of a Dirty War, there is nothing ambiguous about what the official statistics portray: for the past 30 years a
large segment of black America has waged a war of violent
retribution against White America. And the problem is getting worse, not better. In the past 20 years, violent crime has increased more than four times faster than the population. Young blacks (under 18) are more violent than previous generations and are 12 times more likely to be arrested for murder than young Whites.
According to the latest annual report on murder by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, most interracial murders involve black
assailants and White victims, with blacks murdering whites at 18
times the rate that Whites murder blacks.
These breathtaking disparities began to emerge in the mid-1960s,
when there was a sharp increase in black crime against Whites, an
upsurge which, not coincidentally, corresponds exactly with the
beginning of the decline of neighborhoods.
Over time, the cumulative effect has been staggering. Justice
Department and FBI statistics indicate that between 1964 and
1994 more than 25 million violent interracial crimes were
committed, overwhelmingly involving black offenders and White
victims, and more than 45,000 people were killed in interracial
By comparisons 58,000 Americans died in Vietnam, and 34,000
were killed in the Korean war.
When nonviolent crimes (burglary, larceny, car theft and personal
theft) are included, the cumulative totals become astounding. The
Bureau of Justice Statistics says 27 million nonviolent crimes were
committed in the US in 1992, and the survey found that 31 per cent
of the robberies involved black offenders and White victims (while
only 2 per cent in the reverse). When all the crime figures are
calculated, it appears that black Americans have committed at
least 170 million crimes against white Americans in the past 30
years. It is the great defining disaster of American life and
American ideals since World War II.
All these are facts, yet by simply writing this story, I will be deemed
a racist. Because certain people prefer to maintain a paternalistic
double-standard in its outlook of black America. And THAT is
The Progressives... Damn, what a misleading name for a group!
LBJ who put the last nail in the black family coffin, was and IS just one of many liberals who baited blacks with chincy handouts for their vote.
When we were young, growing up in SF, we rented in a mid-high income area. My parents barely scraped by (although we didn't know it at the time). The only crime we encountered in that neighborhood was bused-in looters. My Barbie was redistributed to an angry black girl, who grabbed the doll by a bus stop, right out of my hands. My dad chased her down the street and got it back.
My brother's newspaper route money was redistributed several times, to the black boys we had once owned as slaves (sarc).
Yet dare we impugn these "Sons of Obama", in their quest to right such historical wrongs as:
Rep. John Lewis (D-GA): "100,000,000 slaves were thrown overboard by slavers trying to avoid capture by British naval ships that were enforcing the empires ban on slavery."
(Real estimates of the total number of slaves over a 300 year period range from 2-12.5 million. Britain outlawed the slave trade in 1807. In the same year the US prohibited the further importation of slaves, though it was not entirely enforced, it strongly reduced the trade.)
Just keep in mind that that only happens because the government allows it to happen. If government keeps pursuing its present course, we might not have one one day, or at least not an effective one.
Wait and see what happens to the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the world then.
If we had only picked our own cotton...
Lets look at Africa, where they have had millions of years of evolution and social practice which is genetic as well as ingrained.
If Africa is all black men, who has held them down for the millions of years? Look at any African nation, where are the successes?
If we want to start talking about racism, one has to look no further than Africa, as they have loads of black on black violence. To the point where they have traditions operating right to today. Other than tribal raiding and corruption, there is one greater.... genocide.
Look at Zimbabwe, South Africa, any nation about 50 nations in Africa. Who is suppressing them? Why are they so backwards and illiterate for 2012?
I do not think you can create greater confusion than what the blacks can create.... right down to the "pResident"
I would bet that black on white violent crime is more prevalent than the other way around.
Anybody have the figures?
If I'm attacked, I'm the one that's going to do the "oppressing." If I'm attacked in numbers gang style, I'm going to employ the 3-S treatment.
THe problem is supply can't keep up with demand.
The original police report in this incident listed Zimmerman as white. So it remains a white on black crime.
The facts have never mattered.
And, Communist agency DHS is gobbling it up faster by the millions of rounds... (450 million rounds in the news yesterday, let me know if you want links).
It's not oppression they're engaging in. It's terrorism.
By the way, ever hear of Channon Christian and Chris Newsom?
These nice kids
Were murdered in the most vile way imaginable by this filth:
Remember all the Black activists being outraged over this?
Didn't think so.
Mau-Mau was Black terrorism against the British in Kenya. A young man in Kenya was impressed with the effectiveness of it.
His son is now the "President" of the United States.
Guess what's going on.
I'm sure that vikingkitties.blogspot.com will be sure to notice.
They manage to pick the boogers out of the ice cream pretty consistently.
Criminals are White Hispanic, victims are Hispanic.
All you have to do is go find the National Criminal Victimization Survey (I think that is what it is called) put out by the DoJ.
I did this several years ago.
You can look at things like murder rates and other crimes. They do break it down by race, i.e. black on white crimes vs. white on black crimes.
The telling statistic is to normalize the data on a population basis - in other words, what does the data say on a "per capita basis?"
The answer will shock you.
Takes courage to rise above the pack for any group and age. Some have it, some don't, and some want the easy way...there is no easy way.
Victimhood is a scapegoat for many, it excuses the lack of drive and determination....and that has no color difference....but some will surely use it
"The answer will shock you."
Thanks, I'll wager it doesn't.
Hispanics only count as "white" when it serves the left's purpose...
It's a shame that many good American Blacks will suffer needlessly by this division, but it seems inevitable that a kind of street war is on the way (encouraged by Obama).
And for the record, it isn't racism holding thugs back from achieving economic and social parity. It is the fact that being a thug and hating Whitey is sufficient to destroy any chance of gainful employment.
That's what I don't understand.
Why the hell would it shock you?
I have enough students who are Asian, African, and Caucasian for it NOT to shock me.
AND I teach in an AFFLUENT international school in Jakarta.
Might be a way that Snopes prevents linking, but I wonder.
So the message of my post is somewhat muted.
Hussein is quite interested in driving race relations to the brink. Like all mob leading demagogues (um, gang leaders), he is only interested in creating fear and terror so that his gang can rule the turf.
The intent is simple. Since they can't build anything on their own, they have to terrorize the makers into handing over the goods to them.
Every gang does that. The most successful of them call themselves "governments".
If "American Blacks" were only interested in domestic tranquility and acceptance, they wouldn't be engaging in any of this. The sensible ones would simply pack up and leave - but where to go?
Africa? No air conditioning there. No BMW's. No freebies based on racial grievances.
So they stay here, and continue the intimidation game.
There is only one race relation in the U.S.: terrorize Whitey until he hands over the goodies.
That was Mau-Mau. Same thing here.
Because what the results are *will* shock those that have not done their homework. The poster I was responding to clearly hadn't - but I suspect he knew what the answer was.
From what I remember from back then ...
Blacks are (or were) abt 12% of the overall population. Black on white crime was about 7x white on black crime.
Normalizing for demographics yielded 49x black on white vs white on black crime.
YMMV. I have not looked at this in several years.
The booger pickers will now probably call me a racist...
Nuff said.
However, this is a case where no homework is required.
One just has to open ones eyes.
Yes, they do.
That was my point.
The DOJ is totally disingenuous with crime statistics.
Statistics for those who commit crimes have the Latinos totaled in with Caucasians while the victim statistics have Latinos broken out as their own category.
I heard on Mark Leven's show last night that of all the white people murdered in 2010 83% were killed by white poeple. Of all the blacks murdered, 90% were murdered by other blacks.
Most did. 90% of Southerners didn't own slaves.
Yet every white, many of whom did not even have ancestors here at the time of the Civil War, is blamed for slavery.

I believe its 7 to 9 times the rate. But I will look around to try and verify.
"If Africa is all black men, who has held them down for the millions of years? Look at any African nation, where are the successes?"
The best explanation for what you bring up is in the book "Bell Curve" by Herrnstein and Murray.
The race problem we face is huge, and it is made more intractable by the inability to talk about it in an honest way.
The authors had some suggestions on how to ameliorate the situation, but they were vilified, demonized and exiled from the human race for their trouble.
For those of you not familiar with the book, I highly recommend it. After you read it, the reality we're living will suddenly make sense.
Yep here it is--from Pat Buchanans Suicide of a Superpower the FBIs crime figures for 2007: Blacks committed 433,934 violent crimes against whites, eight times as many as the 55,685 that whites committed against blacks... (Page 243)
the statistics are clear--the average white person has far more to fear from blacks than the average black person from whites. Quite contrarty to the completely false narrative the media and sharptonistas are trying to portray.
I do recall when the book came out.
Hernstein and Murray were both indeen vilified.
It was quite the firestorm.
Hernstein died soon after the book's release IIRC.
We're going to have to relearn the lessons out of that book all over again - providing the booger pickers (at vikingkitties.blogspot.com) haven't so garroted discourse in this country that we can't even hold a conversation.
... and that's a real possibility.
They know the average intelligence is lower. That's why they use them. Do you think 'more money for schools' is really about trying to uplift people, or merely pay off a unionized constituency - the Teacher's unions?
Except when they are the criminal invaders, then they are always "Hispanic" and we are all "racist" (even though Hispanic is about language-only) for supporting sovereign borders.
Of course. White people, facts, and laws are racist.
These sites are must reading. Someone posted links to them but I can't find the thread. They deserve to be posted as a separate thread. The Black Foot Soldier site is incredibly horrible. Looks as though Martin may have been somehow involved, "no limit nigga" is apparently a phrase used by that crowd.
(Maggief and hoosiermama - have you seen these?)
Yes, and thank you for the pings.
I hate to bother people with too many pings. Every now and then (haha) I get a bit obsessed...
Thought so but way more than I anticipated, thanks.

Forgiveness, Reconciliation and Responding to Evil: A Philosophical Overview
Jeffrie G. Murphy
Arizona State University College of Law
Fordham Urban Law Journal, Vol. 27, No. 5, Pp. 1353-1366, June 2000
This essay, a transcript of a keynote address given in February 2000 at the Fordham Law School Symposium on Forgiveness and the Law, seeks to define forgiveness (in part by distinguishing it from excuse, justification, mercy, and reconciliation), to argue that hasty forgiveness may undermine legitimate self respect and respect for the moral order, and then to argue that under many circumstances forgiveness is the preferred moral option for dealing with wrongdoers--particularly if those wrongdoers are repentant. It is argued, however, that repentance should not always be demanded as a condition for forgiveness. The essay closes with a discussion of the relationships between forgiveness and Christianity.

Running is an excellent way to stay fit, relieve stress, and spend time outdoors. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned strider, these guidelines will help keep you safe and healthy for many miles to come.
The majority of running injuries occur from training too much, overuse, and improper stretching. These tips can help you to avoid injuries:
Should you stretch before running? This is actually a controversial issue. Some fitness experts do recommend stretching, while others say that the evidence is not there to support the idea that stretching reduces injury. If you are interested in stretching, make sure that you learn the proper form for each stretch. A fitness trainer can teach you how to stretch your muscles.
Regardless of the temperature, you need to replace fluids to avoid dehydration.
Prepare yourself for various obstacles out on the streets:
Many people enjoy the solitude of running. If you are one of them, take a few extra safety precautions:
Don't let weather keep you from an outdoor run. Just be sure you're prepared to face the elements.
In cold weather :
In hot weather:
The beauty of running is that you can do it anywhere. When you are traveling, follow these guidelines:

Netbait Kickin B
The Netbait Kickin' B is built on the body of the popular Netbait B-Bug, and features its own frog-like appendages. Originally designed to be a punch bait, it works extremely well as a frog worked over the top of the mats, and Bassmaster Elite Series pro, Greg Vinson, even loves to throw the Kickin' B on a swim jig. The Mini Kickin B is a great choice on a football head or finesse jig, and it's also an excellent punch bait because of its smaller profile. Available in several proven colors, every Netbait Kickin' B is also loaded with salt, scent, and pork fat to make fish bite and hang on.

: There is normally a cover secured by a bolt off to one side. It is a city component so call them to reattach the cover. There is a valve down there but you do not have a wrench to turn it, and some water companies take a dim view of people turning it off anyway, since it can be expensive to repair if it is busted. Depending on your area is platted, anything within a certain distance of the street centerline, often 30', is city property.
: : Hey, part 2, water meter is in basement, this curbstop thing, should it have a cap on it or what, as of now it just looks like a vertical pipe flush with the grass? What is there a valve down in it or what? This thing is 3 feet from the sidewalk , not in the easement, does that matter to whether or not its a curbstop....

CLEARWATER, Fla. - There will be no official documentation of Cole Hamels' outing on Tuesday.
And he's eternally grateful for that.
Hamels was just getting his proverbial spring work in against the Dominican Republic's World Baseball Classic team. Since it was an exhibition - not even a Grapefruit League game - Hamels' 12-hit, eight-run pratfall against arguably the world's most potent lineup won't even be reflected in his spring training statistics.
"Thank goodness," Hamels said, "that didn't count."
Indeed, Hamels - throwing mostly fastballs - had his pitches peppered all over Bright House Field by a Dominican club that looked ready to run through a wall when the WBC begins Thursday in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Jose Reyes ripped a pair of hits and a home run, Hanley Ramirez had a pair of doubles, and even 38-year-old Miguel Tejada's bat looked spry as Hamels got ambushed even before he could so much as think about establishing a breaking ball.
After ducking the line drives, he tipped his cap - and also offered up why he figures to never participate in the World Baseball Classic.
"I ran into a bullet today," he said. "They're very good at what they do."
And they were considerably ahead of Hamels at this stage of the spring. He was making his third start, and said his preparation and progression each spring would preclude him from ever participating in a WBC.
When asked who would be well-suited to play in the event, he pondered the question and replied, "Someone who plays winter ball."
In fact, Ramirez, Tejada, Carlos Santana and Nelson Cruz were among the Dominican superstars in Tuesday's lineup that did play winter ball. And while two-time defending WBC champion Japan doesn't participate in winter league, its spring training begins sooner, and thus its players are a bit better-prepared than its American counterparts for the quadrennial event.
Barring a strong showing by the U.S., the event may not gain much traction stateside. Whether it does or not, don't figure on Hamels participating.
"My alliegances are to the Phillies and the organization winning a World Series. I think winning a World Series is a little more important than…I don't know, whatever trophy they give out for the World Baseball Classic."

Elegant Heel with a Casual Twist
"I adore these heels! Seychelles are by far my favorite shoe brand - they hold up well and are impeccably made. These are no exception. I bought the black - which keeps them simple and goes with the cork perfectly. They are comfortable, true to size, and easy to walk in."

Cute but ultimately too small
"These shoes are very cute, and comfy. I ordered the green, and its a great, bright color.Unfortunately, I usually wear a size 8 in seychelles, and I ordered a 7.5, so these went back. Runs true to size!"

So comfortable and light!
"These are one of the most comfy heels I've ever owned. The heels feel so stable and light, I could wear them all day.I'm a size 8.5 but my heel slips out of the shoe because I have a high arch (the length of my feet shorten in taller shoes). I thought an 8 would be too small so I just got a grip insert for the back of the shoe and that seemed to work fine."
