Wright 101

Obama funded extremist Afrocentrists who shared Rev. Wright's anti-Americanism

It looks like Jeremiah Wright was just the tip of the iceberg. Not only did Barack Obama savor Wright’s sermons, Obama gave legitimacy — and a whole lot of money — to education programs built around the same extremist anti-American ideology preached by Reverend Wright. And guess what? Bill Ayers is still palling around with the same bitterly anti-American Afrocentric ideologues that he and Obama were promoting a decade ago. All this is revealed by a bit of digging, combined with a careful study of documents from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, the education foundation Obama and Ayers jointly led in the late 1990s.

John McCain, take note. Obama’s tie to Wright is no longer a purely personal question (if it ever was one) about one man’s choice of his pastor. The fact that Obama funded extremist Afrocentrists who shared Wright’s anti-Americanism means that this is now a matter of public policy, and therefore an entirely legitimate issue in this campaign.

African Village

In the winter of 1996, the Coalition for Improved Education in [Chicago’s] South Shore (CIESS) announced that it had received a $200,000 grant from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. That made CIESS an “external partner,” i.e. a community organization linked to a network of schools within the Chicago public system. This network, named the “South Shore African Village Collaborative” was thoroughly “Afrocentric” in orientation. CIESS’s job was to use a combination of teacher-training, curriculum advice, and community involvement to improve academic performance in the schools it worked with. CIESS would continue to receive large Annenberg grants throughout the 1990s.

The South Shore African Village Collaborative (SSAVC) was very much a part of the Afrocentric “rites of passage movement,” a fringe education crusade of the 1990s. SSAVC schools featured “African-Centered” curricula built around “rites of passage” ceremonies inspired by the puberty rites found in many African societies. In and of themselves, these ceremonies were harmless. Yet the philosophy that accompanied them was not. On the contrary, it was a carbon-copy of Jeremiah Wright’s worldview.

Rites of Passage

To learn what the rites of passage movement was all about, we can turn to a sympathetic 1992 study published in the Journal of Negro Education by Nsenga Warfield-Coppock. In that article, Warfield-Coppock bemoans the fact that public education in the United States is shaped by “capitalism, competitiveness, racism, sexism and oppression.” According to Warfield-Coppock, these American values “have confused African American people and oriented them toward American definitions of achievement and success and away from traditional African values.” American socialization has “proven to be dysfuntional and genocidal to the African American community,” Warfield-Coppock tells us. The answer is the adolescent rites of passage movement, designed “to provide African American youth with the cultural information and values they would need to counter the potentially detrimental effects of a Eurocentrically oriented society.”

The adolescent rites of passage movement that flowered in the 1990s grew out of the “cultural nationalist” or “Pan-African” thinking popular in radical black circles of the 1960s and 1970s. The attempt to create a virtually separate and intensely anti-American black social world began to take hold in the mid-1980s in small private schools, which carefully guarded the contents of their controversial curricula. Gradually, through external partners like CIESS, the movement spread to a few public schools. Supporters view these programs as “a social and cultural ‘inoculation’ process that facilitates healthy, African-centered development among African American youth and protects them against the ravages of a racist, sexist, capitalist, and oppressive society.”

We know that SSAVC was part of this movement, not only because their Annenberg proposals were filled with Afrocentric themes and references to “rites of passage,” but also because SSAVC’s faculty set up its African-centered curriculum in consultation with some of the most prominent leaders of the “rites of passage movement.” For example, a CIESS teacher conference sponsored a presentation on African-centered curricula by Jacob Carruthers, a particularly controversial Afrocentrist.

Jacob Carruthers

Like other leaders of the rites of passage movement, Carruthers teaches that the true birthplace of world civilization was ancient “Kemet” (Egypt), from which Kemetic philosophy supposedly spread to Africa as a whole. Carruthers and his colleagues believe that the values of Kemetic civilization are far superior to the isolating and oppressive, ancient Greek-based values of European and American civilization. Although academic Egyptologists and anthropologists strongly reject these historical claims, Carruthers dismisses critics as part of a white supremacist conspiracy to hide the truth of African superiority.

Carruthers’s key writings are collected in his book, Intellectual Warfare. Reading it is a wild, anti-American ride. In his book, we learn that Carruthers and his like-minded colleagues have formed an organization called the Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations (ASCAC), which takes as its mission the need to “dismantle the European intellectual campaign to commit historicide against African peoples.” Carruthers includes “African-Americans” within a group he would define as simply “African.” When forced to describe a black person as “American,” Carruthers uses quotation marks, thus indicating that no black person can be American in any authentic sense. According to Carruthers, “The submission to Western civilization and its most outstanding offspring, American civilization, is, in reality, surrender to white supremacy.”

Carruthers’s goal is to use African-centered education to recreate a separatist universe within America, a kind of state-within-a-state. The rites of passage movement is central to the plan. Carruthers sees enemies on every part of the political spectrum, from conservatives, to liberals, to academic leftists, all of whom reject advocates of Kemetic civilization, like himself, as dangerous and academically irresponsible extremists. Carruthers sees all these groups as deluded captives of white supremacist Eurocentric culture. Therefore the only safe place for Africans living in the United States (i.e. American blacks) is outside the mental boundaries of our ineradicably racist Eurocentric civilization. As Carruthers puts it: “…some of us have chosen to reject the culture of our oppressors and recover our disrupted ancestral culture.” The rites of passage movement is a way to teach young Africans in the United States how to reject America and recover their authentic African heritage.

America as Rape

Carruthers admits that Africans living in America have already been shaped by Western culture, yet compares this Americanization process to rape: “We may not be able to get our virginity back after the rape, but we do not have to marry the rapist….” In other words, American blacks (i.e. Africans) may have been forcibly exposed to American culture, but that doesn’t mean they need to accept it. The better option, says Carruthers, is to separate out and relearn the wisdom of Africa’s original Kemetic culture, embodied in the teachings of the ancient wise man, Ptahhotep (an historical figure traditionally identified as the author of a Fifth Dynasty wisdom book). Anything less than re-Africanization threatens the mental, and even physical, genocide of Africans living in an ineradicably white supremacist United States.

Carruthers is a defender of Leonard Jeffries, professor in the department of black studies at City College in Harlem, infamous for his black supremacist and anti-Semitic views. Jeffries sees whites as oppressive and violent “ice people,” in contrast to peaceful and mutually supportive black “sun people.” The divergence says Jeffries, is attributable to differing levels of melanin in the skin. Jeffries also blames Jews for financing the slave trade. Carruthers defends Jeffries and excoriates the prestigious black academics Carruthers views as traitorous for denouncing their African brother, Jeffries. Carruthers’s vision of the superior and peaceful Kemetic philosophy of Ptahhotep triumphing over Greco-Euro-American-white culture obviously parallels Jeffries’ opposition between ice people and sun people.

More of Carruthers’s education philosophy can be found in his newsletter, The Kemetic Voice. In 1997, for example, at the same time Carruthers was advising SSAVC on how to set up an African-centered curriculum, he praised the decision of New Orleans’ School Board to remove the name of George Washington from an elementary school. Apparently, some officials in New Orleans had decided that nobody who held slaves should have a school named after him. Carruthers touted the name-change as proof that his African-centered perspective was finally having an effect on public policy. At the demise of George Washington School, Carruthers crowed: “These events remind us of how vast the gulf is that separates the Defenders of Western Civilization from the Champions of African Civilization.”

According to Chicago Annenberg Challenge records, Carruthers’s training session on African-centered curricula for SSAVC teachers was a huge hit: “As a consciousness raising session, it received rave reviews, and has prepared the way for the curriculum readiness survey….” These teacher-training workshops were directly funded by the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Another sure sign of the ideological cast of SSAVC’s curriculum can be found in Annenberg documents noting that SSAVC students are taught the wisdom of Ptahhotep. Carruthers’s concerns about “menticide” and “genocide” at the hand of America’s white supremacist system seem to be echoed in an SSAVC document that says: “Our children need to understand the historical context of our struggles for liberation from those forces that seek to destroy us.”

When Jeremiah Wright turned toward African-centered thinking in the late 1980s and early 1990s (the period when, attracted by Wright’s African themes, Barack Obama first became a church member), many prominent thinkers from Carruthers’s Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations were invited to speak at Trinity United Church of Christ, Carruthers himself included. We hear echoes of Carruthers’s work in Wright’s distinction between “right brained” Africans and “left brained” Europeans, in Wright’s fears of U.S. government-sponsored genocide against American blacks, and in Wright’s embittered attacks on America’s indelibly white-supremacist history. In Wright’s Trumpet Newsmagazine, as in Carruthers’s own writings, blacks are often referred to as “Africans living in the diaspora” rather than as Americans.

Asa Hilliard

Chicago Annenberg Challenge records also indicate that SSAVC educators invited Asa Hilliard, a pioneer of African-centered curricula and a close colleague of Carruthers, to offer a keynote address at yet another Annenberg-funded teacher training session. Hilliard’s ties to Wright run still deeper than Carruthers’s. A close Wright mentor and friend, Hilliard died in 2007 while on a trip to Kemet (Egypt) with Wright and members of Wright’s congregation. Hillard was scheduled to deliver several lectures to the congregants, and to speak at a meeting of the Association for the Study of Classical African Civilization, which he co-founded with Carruthers and other “African-centered” scholars. On that last trip, Hilliard accepted an appointment to the board of Wright’s new elementary school, Kwame Nkrumah Academy. Speaking of the need for such a school, Wright had earlier said, “We need to educate our children to the reality of white supremacy.” (For more on Wright’s Afrocentric school, see “Jeremiah Wright’s ‘Trumpet.’”)

Wright delivered the eulogy at Hilliard’s memorial service, with prominent members of ASCAC in the audience. To commemorate Hilliard, a special, two-cover double issue of Wright’s Trumpet Newsmagazine was published, with a picture of Hilliard on one side, and a picture of Louis Farrakhan on the other (in celebration of a 2007 award Farrakhan received from Wright). In short, the ties between Wright and Hilliard could hardly have been closer. Clearly, then, Wright’s own educational philosophy was mirrored at the Annenberg-funded SSAVC, which sought out Hilliard’s and Carruthers’s counsel to construct its curriculum.

Perhaps inadvertently, Wright’s eulogy for Hilliard actually established the fringe nature of his favorite African-centered scholars. In his tribute, Wright stressed how intensely “white Egyptologists recoiled at the very notion of everything Asa taught.” As Wright himself made plain, it seems virtually impossible to find respectable scholars of any political stripe who approve of the extremist anti-American version of Afrocentrism promoted by Hilliard and Carruthers.

Ayers’s Pals

An important exception to the rule is Bill Ayers himself, who not only worked with Obama to fund groups like this at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, but who is still “palling around” with the same folks. Discretely waiting until after the election, Bill Ayers and his wife, and fellow former terrorist, Bernardine Dohrn plan to release a book in 2009 entitled Race Course Against White Supremacy. The book will be published by Third World Press, a press set up by Carruthers and other members of the ASCAC. Representatives of that press were prominently present for Wright’s eulogy at Asa Hilliard’s memorial service. Less than a decade ago, therefore, when it came to education issues, Barack Obama, Bill Ayers, and Jeremiah Wright were pretty much on the same page.

Obama’s Knowledge

Given the precedent of his earlier responses on Ayers and Wright, Obama might be inclined to deny personal knowledge of the educational philosophy he was so generously funding. Such a denial would not be convincing. For one thing, we have evidence that in 1995, the same year Obama assumed control of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, he publicly rejected “the unrealistic politics of integrationist assimilation,” a stance that clearly resonates with both Wright and Carruthers. (See “No Liberation.”)

And as noted, Wright had invited Carruthers, Hilliard, and like-minded thinkers to address his Trinity congregants. Wright likes to tick off his connections to these prominent Afrocentrists in sermons, and Obama would surely have heard of them. Reading over SSAVC’s Annenberg proposals, Obama could hardly be ignorant of what they were about. And if by some chance Obama overlooked Hilliard’s or Carruthers’s names, SSAVC’s proposals are filled with references to “rites of passage” and “Ptahhotep,” dead giveaways for the anti-American and separatist ideological concoction favored by SSAVC.

We know that Obama did read the proposals. Annenberg documents show him commenting on proposal quality. And especially after 1995, when concerns over self-dealing and conflicts of interest forced the Ayers-headed “Collaborative” to distance itself from monetary issues, all funding decisions fell to Obama and the board. Significantly, there was dissent within the board. One business leader and experienced grant-smith characterized the quality of most Annenberg proposals as “awful.” (See “The Chicago Annenberg Challenge: The First Three Years,” p. 19.) Yet Obama and his very small and divided board kept the money flowing to ideologically extremist groups like the South Shore African Village Collaborative, instead of organizations focused on traditional educational achievement.

As if the content of SSAVC documents wasn’t warning enough, their proposals consistently misspelled “rites of passage” as “rights of passage,” hardly an encouraging sign from a group meant to improve children’s reading skills. The Chicago Annenberg Challenge’s own evaluators acknowledged that Annenberg-aided schools showed no improvement in achievement scores. Evaluators attributed that failure, in part, to the fact that many of Annenberg’s “external partners” had little educational expertise. A group that puts its efforts into Kwanzaa celebrations and half-baked history certainly fits that bill, and goes a long way toward explaining how Ayers and Obama managed to waste upwards of $150 million without improving student achievement.

However he may seek to deny it, all evidence points to the fact that, from his position as board chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Barack Obama knowingly and persistently funded an educational project that shared the extremist and anti-American philosophy of Jeremiah Wright. The Wright affair was no fluke. It’s time for McCain to say so.

Not as funny as Laurel & Hardy...

...but certainly ever bit as much in harmony as The Carpenters. We're talking about the two key ingredients in our products - Kakadu Plum & Lemon Myrtle. A marriage made in heaven (just a pet name for our laboratory) and with no need for a prenup. You can find all the technical stuff elsewhere on our website (here actually), but now we thought we'd just fill in a bit of background info about our two loving partners...

Lemon Myrtle sounds like a silent movie star, but would be a reclusive one, found hiding in the rain-forests of SE Queensland. Her bushes can grow up to 20 feet with glossy evergreen leaves, showing clustering creamy-white flowers, with a strong smell of - well lemon - when crushed, and is praised by experts for her clean and sweet aroma.

Kakadu Plum is also sometimes called the billygoat plum, and is a native to Australia, in northern tropical woodlands. Perhaps he and Lemon first met in a glade on a still and sultry Queensland evening, she attracted by his carressable flaky bark, how easily his deciduous leaves fall away, and his winningly high concentration of Vitamin C.

We'll stop there, for reasons of propriety. Suffice to say that their 'off-spring' offers the kind of simple, natural and organic skincare products for men that would make their parents truly proud! Check out the range, HERE!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Location! Space! Easy! Visited first week in August. It's an end unit, 3rd floor. It was clean and pets aren't allowed! Important if you have allergies or generally understand it's impossible to ever get pet scents out. It is a little "noisy" with vehicle noise from the street below, but not from the village itself. And this is only an "issue" if you're a very light sleeper, my young children, my husband and I all slept very well. You do have to walk out of the building and through the village a bit to get to the pool so that's a consideration if you're visiting in the winter. We visited in summer and thoroughly enjoyed the pool! Easy access to the key, the garage and the unit!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice place...but getting in... This is the third time we have rented the same place, its really nice. The issue we keep having is gaining access to the rental. This is the second time in a row we had issues retrieving the keys from the kiosk. What makes it worse is the 4PM check in time with a message on the help line stating they close at 4PM eastern time (why would you even have eastern time!?!?). Also, only one access card was provided which made splitting up our group somewhat troublesome. All in all though, once in, we enjoyed our stay; 2303 is a nice home away form home. P.S. Thank you so much for adding the ceiling fans!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Great location but unrealistic check out times Our stay in the village was great as far as convenience except for check out. Traveling with a family and trying to get out at 10:00 am is way too rushed. Maid service was at our door on the dot at 10:00 and received a call shortly after that from management. And check in time for next party is not at 11:00 since early check in and late check out is not allowed.

The corner unit location though was very loud. Lots of street noise...late into the night. The management company was not easy to contact after 5pm. We had an important question regarding keys and NO ONE called us back!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Sorry.... so loud! The location is wonderful, the unit is clean and lovely, but really, pay attention to the other reviews. The location in off-the-charts loud, especially if it snows and the snow removal equipment is working during the night. They were out in the streets all night and it was beyond loud. We got zero sleep. Downtown Manhattan is quieter.

Year-End Checklist for Your Small Business

Get ready to wrap up the year with this checklist for your small business.

by Navy Federal on August 28, 2017 | Tag(s): Managing

As the end of the year draws near, it’s time to wrap up essential year-end tasks and prepare your financial records for tax season. Doing so also provides a critical view into profitability and future planning. Whether you have an accountant to manage your financial books or take on this task yourself, the following checklist can help you wrap up the year with confidence.

  • Organize business expense records. Do you dread sorting through a pileup of receipts and statements at year-end? Save time by implementing a filing system and/or accounting software for tracking business expenses.

  • Evaluate financial performance. Analyze your company’s profitability by looking at profit and loss statements–this is your business income (revenue or sales) minus expenses over a specific period of time. Revisit your goals for the current year and consider any last-minute changes that could boost performance.

  • Take inventory. If you sell products, conduct an inventory assessment so you know how much of your business capital is wrapped up in inventory. You may also want to take an inventory of office equipment and supplies so you can budget accordingly for the coming year.

  • Look at liabilities. Review current and long-term liabilities, including accounts payable (money your business owes to vendors, contractors and suppliers), credit card balances and loans from financial institutions. Look for ways to efficiently manage debt to keep your business in a strong financial position. You may discover that you need to take on additional debt–such as a line of credit–in order to grow your business.

  • Review your tax strategy. With tax season right around the corner, now is the time to review the rules and consider ways to save on your 2017 tax bill. For example, you might decide to buy equipment, make charitable donations, or defer revenue into the next year to increase deductions or reduce revenue. Be sure to discuss options with your tax advisor before taking any action that will affect your tax situation. Get ready for tax season now by organizing receipts and other documents you’ll need for tax preparation.

  • Update your business plan. When you’re crunching the numbers and reviewing your financial reports for 2017, you might identify sales cycles or other trends you’d like to replicate in 2018. You might also notice gaps in the revenue stream or challenges you’d like to work on next year. Use the data at your fingertips to help you set specific goals and map out your business plan for next year and beyond.

At Navy Federal Credit Union, we’re here to connect you with the resources you need to finish the year strong. Learn about our business loans designed to support your small business and stay in-the-know with these resources.

This article is intended to provide general information and shouldn't be considered legal, tax or financial advice. It's always a good idea to consult a tax or financial advisor for specific information on how certain laws apply to your situation and about your individual financial situation.

Murder Charges Against Patricide Suspect Dropped - NBC4 Washington

Murder Charges Against Patricide Suspect Dropped

    Murder Charges Against Patricide Suspect Dropped

    Murder charges against a woman who had been accused of killing her father were dropped this week, according to her lawyer.

    Prosecutors dropped the murder charges against Patricia Blevins Wednesday, Olaun Simmons said. Blevins pleaded guilty to three counts of prescription fraud.

    Blevins's father, 82-year-old Marden Wilson, died in March 2010. Autopsy and toxicology reports showed a high level of Sertaline -- a generic form of Zoloft -- in his system, Prince William County police said.

    Wilson had suffered from a heart and lung condition and was cared for by Blevins, who lived with him at a Residence Inn after they had been evicted from their Woodbridge home five days before his death.

    Blevins became a suspect when investigators learned she was under federal investigation for prescription fraud, including Sertaline, police said. Wilson did not have a prescription for the drug in his medical history, authorities said.

    Blevins is scheduled to be sentenced for prescription fraud on Oct. 27.

Analysis: The Guardian hits paid content milestone, the ComCom puts its foot in it

Many NBR readers won’t like its politics but UK paper The Guardian has another paywall milestone – a commercial achievement everyone should applaud.

The publication now has more than 400,000 people making regular payments for its online content.

That breaks down to 300,000 paying at least £5 a month under its monthly donation scheme (voluntary but also the only way to get rid of incessant reminders potted through the text if you don’t cough up) and 100,000 paying for its app, which is $19.99 a month for international subs.

The paper also has 100,000 paying for its print edition.

And another 300,000 who have made a one-off donation to its online edition.

Good for business
The rise in revenue from readers means while The Guardian’s publisher (backed by a multi-billion pound endowment) is still losing money, it’s a how lot less than before, and it’s now on a path to breakeven.

The Guardian group now makes more money from online subs than it does from advertising.
True, that’s partly a measure of the decline of advertising, but there’s no escaping that paywalls are good for business.

The New York Times (or “failing New York Times” as a certain president describes it) made an operating profit of $US27.7 million in the second quarter of this year, up from $US9.1 million in the year-ago quarter, as it made a net gain of 93,000 digital-only subscribers (for a total 2.33 million).

Here at NBR, we’ve recently passed our own milestone of 5000 paid individual member subscribers, plus hundreds of organisations on IP (office-wide) subs.

Alex Clark founded Press Patron, a local service that enables Guardian-style regular donations from readers.

Good for journalism
More, paywalls are good for journalism. They incentivise hard-hitting, investigative stories, and punish dross. People won’t renew their subscriptions if you serve them churnalism.

We’re seeing the best and best-resourced journalism from publications with paywalls from the New York Times to the Washington Post to the Financial Times and, closer to home, The Australian and the AFR.

ComCom wrong wrong
So it was disappointing to see a lawyer for the Commerce Commission citing the risk of a paywall being introduced as one of the reasons that regulator rejected the Fairfax-NZME merger (the comments came on the sixth day of the duo’s appeal).

There are a number of reasons for the ComCom to reject the Fairfax-NZME appeal. Paywalls are not one.

If they are ever allowed to merge, Fairfax and NZME won’t harm the public (in so much as it would cause harm) with blanked paywalls. They simply couldn’t, with mainstream news available through RNZ, Newshub and other sources. A paywall around selected content would incentivise more unique, deep-dive content and reduce the need for Daily Mail filler.

Poor show, ComCom.

Wilmington Race Riot

by Ronnie W. Faulkner, 2006

See also: Violence, Group; Wilmington Race Riot (NC Office of Archives & History); Silver fusion

The Wilmington Race Riot of 10 Nov. 1898 constituted the most serious incident of racial violence in the history of North Carolina. It has been variously called a revolution, a race war, and more accurately a coup d'état. The outbreak stemmed from an editorial published on 18 Aug. 1898 by the Wilmington Daily Record, an African American newspaper edited by Alexander Manly. In response to an appeal for the lynching of black rapists made by crusader Rebecca Felton in Georgia on 11 Aug. 1897, Manly wrote that white women "are not any more particular in the matter of clandestine meetings with colored men than are the white men with colored women." Moreover, Manly argued, many accusations of rape were simply cases where a black man was having an affair with a white woman. Because it involved the sensitive issue of interracial sexual relations, the editorial struck a raw nerve with many whites and led to bitter denunciations of Manly in the Democratic press.Remains of the printing press of Alexander Manly's Wilmington Daily Record after his newspaper building was burned by a white mob in 1898. North Carolina Collection, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Library.

The entire thrust of the white supremacy campaign, in which the Democrats were attempting to regain control of state government, had been racially inflammatory. It was no surprise that after the Democrats, bolstered by bands of armed Red Shirts, overturned Republican-Populist Fusionist control of the state in the 8 November election, the Wilmington Democratic Party leadership decided to discipline Manly and take over the city administration. An order was issued under the name of Alfred M. Waddell, a former congressman and the Democratic candidate for mayor, that editor Manly leave the city with his press and inform Waddell of the action by 7:30 a.m. on 10 November. Unfortunately, Manly had already left Wilmington and the response by local black leaders to Waddell's ultimatum did not reach him in time to forestall the subsequent violence. A white mob of 400-500 people marched on the Daily Record office, smashed the press, and burned down the building. The rioters delayed a black fire company long enough to ensure destruction of the property. Thereafter white bands roamed the city, hunting down Fusionists and indiscriminately shooting into neighborhoods believed to be black political strongholds. Many African Americans fled to the forest outside of town. Waddell, backed by armed men, demanded and received the resignation of the entire city board of aldermen, including Republican mayor Silas P. Wright. Waddell immediately took over as mayor and appointed Democratic aldermen.

Republican governor Daniel L. Russell belatedly directed the state militia to stop the violence, but Walker Taylor, the Democratic commander of the guard at Wilmington, arrested only blacks. The new all-white city government forced selected white Fusionists, deemed "decidedly persona non grata," to leave town. In his Memoirs, Waddell boasted that the rioting Democrats had "choked the Cape Fear with [black] corpses." In fact, the most-often-cited estimates of black casualties place the number at 11 killed and 25 wounded. Only 3 whites were wounded. Nevertheless, one report noted that at least 2 whites were killed, and another placed the total death toll as high as 250.

Most modern accounts of the violence discount contemporary partisan news stories that a black mob, near the corner of Fourth and Harnett or Nixon Streets, fired the first shots in the riot. From the casualties it is clear that white Democrats did most of the shooting, while blacks were largely defending themselves.

The Wilmington race riot marked a bloody end to increased black participation in North Carolina politics, which had been made possible by Fusionist control of state government from 1894 to 1898. The emergence of an essentially all-white electorate and one-party Democratic rule was solidified two years later with the adoption of the disfranchisement amendment to the state constitution.

The painful legacy of the Wilmington race riot continues to be the subject of study. In 2005, after nearly a decade of research, a special commission formed by the General Assembly under the auspices of the Office of Archives and History released a report chronicling the riot and identifying its long-term effects on African American life in the area. The document concludes that the violence actually resulted from the actions by local whites to gain permanent and unchallenged control of the city. Because of the perceived success of the insurrection, Wilmington blacks were politically dispossessed and had no effective representation until the national civil rights initiatives of the 1960s.

Hi Francena,

Thank you for visiting NCpedia and alerting us to the broken links. I will contact our Digital Team and let them know.

The name Wilmington Race Riot is outdated and inaccurate. It should be Wilmington Insurrection, Massacre, or Coup d'État.

In her 1899 annual report, Mrs. William M. Parsley, President of Cape Fear #3 chapter of United Daughters of the Confederacy, stated the following:

"The unfortunate condition of affairs in our city last fall, and consequent very late return to their homes, of many members delayed the re-organization of our Chapter for work. On January 19th our first full meeting was held."

Apparently, numerous members had fled the city due to the violence. Normally, a UDC chapter starts its activities in September. However, the first meeting was not held until January 19.

Based on this statement, I'm guessing there might have been frightening tension and possibly smaller incidents of violence leading up to the major eruption on November 10. This statement suggests that many citizens felt unsafe, and those who had the means left town.

Danny's Blog: The Fertility Specialist

Fertility 101:  Getting Started

What crop am I going to grow?

Maybe it seems too obvious of a question, but asking yourself the question ‘What crops am I growing or wanting to grow?’ can go a long way in determining the fertility approach you want to take.

For instance, if you’re growing annuals, they are usually grown by using water soluble fertilizers applied through an injector system using an overhead irrigation system. Plants are usually fed on a continual schedule. Water soluble fertilizing can be controlled and managed very closely by altering the rate and type of fertilizer used

If you're growing perennials, woody ornamentals or trees, control release fertilizers (CRF’s) are usually the dominate choice of fertilizers used. These fertilizers come in a variety of longevities and analysis'. Some larger scale nurseries supplement their CRF program with a fertigation or drip system which usually includes the use of water soluble or bulk liquid fertilizers such as UN32, ammonium nitrate or other fertilizers. Slow release or granular fertilizers are also usually used to supplement a basic fertility program.

What are my general crop cycles?

Knowing your crop cycles or schedules can be key in selecting the proper fertilizer analysis and longevity of your fertilizers. The simple principle of matching your crops growth curve with the release curve of your fertilizer is important in maximizing the efficiency of your fertilizer and minimizing your crop residency time.

The results of not matching the fertilizer release curve with your crops growth curve are a waste of valuable fertilizer, but more importantly a much longer than needed crop time. I witnessed a grower that got an additional spring crop tomarket because he used the proper length fertilizer on the short term crop.

The tricky part of this tool is to find a happy medium across all of your crops and not to complicate your fertility program beyond the management skills of your grower.

Sometimes, as a production manager, I found it helpful to draw out timelines on several of my key or complicated crops to visually see what timing or grouping opportunities the crops had to decide if they warranted a separate or alternative fertility program.

Finally, an important and overriding principle in developing your fertility program and one never to forget is KISS. ‘Keeping It Simple Stupid’ has saved many a manager from serious headaches and frustration.

Remember, have a question? Call and we can chat! If you have some topics you’d like me to discuss feel free to send me your request.

See you next month when we discuss the basic different fertilizer types and their characteristics!

Nelson Plant Food Conversion Table

I think I’m having problems with my water? By asking a few questions and looking at a recent water report, one can quickly tell if it’s something in the water or a problem in the irrigation process.

What NPK fertilizer would you recommend? That can be answered once several questions are answered pertaining to the length of the crop, type of plants grown, facility mixing capabilities, injection capabilities and irrigation systems are known.

What micronutrient package would be best to use? It will depend on water your water analysis, crop type and nutritional requirements are identified and what other fertilizers are being added to the growing media.

What fertilizer rate would you recommend? An optimum rate or range could be recommended once the crop is known, it’s balance of residency, what if any fertilizer is already in the water and when and with what was it fertilizer originally with?

Gabitril (tiagabine)

Gabitril tablets contain the active ingredient tiagabine, which is a medicine used to treat epilepsy. It works by stabilising electrical activity in the brain.

What is Gabitril used for?

    How does Gabitril work?

    Gabitril tablets contain the active ingredient tiagabine, which is a medicine used to treat epilepsy. It works by stabilising electrical activity in the brain.

    The brain and nerves are made up of many nerve cells that communicate with each other through electrical signals. These signals must be carefully regulated for the brain and nerves to function properly. When abnormally rapid and repetitive electrical signals are released in the brain, it becomes over-stimulated and normal function is disturbed. This results in fits or seizures.

    Tiagabine works by affecting the activity of a neurotransmitter called GABA. Neurotransmitters are natural body chemicals that are stored in nerve cells. They are involved in transmitting messages between the nerve cells. GABA is a neurotransmitter that acts as a natural 'nerve calming' agent. It helps keep the electrical nerve activity in the brain in balance.

    Tiagabine prevents the uptake of GABA in the brain. This enables GABA to calm the nerve activity in the brain for a longer period of time, which helps to prevent seizures.

    Tiagabine is used as an add-on treatment for people whose epilepsy has not been well controlled by at least one other antiepileptic medicine. It is used to prevent partial seizures, and partial seizures that spread to secondary generalised seizures.

    Important information about Gabitril

    • Gabitril tablets should be taken with meals.
    • This medicine may reduce your ability to drive or operate machinery safely. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how this medicine affects you and you are sure it won't affect your performance.
    • If you experience any unexplained bruising while taking this medicine you should let your doctor know. He may want you to have a blood test to check your blood cells.
    • If you experience any changes in your vision while taking this medicine you should consult your doctor. He may want you to go for an eye test.
    • There may be a small increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviour in people taking antiepileptic medicines such as tiagabine for any condition. For this reason, it is very important to seek medical advice if you, or someone else taking this medicine, experience any changes in mood, distressing thoughts, or feelings about suicide or self-harm at any point while taking this medicine. For more information speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
    • If you have epilepsy it is important to take your medication regularly, as directed by your doctor, because missing doses can trigger seizures in some people. If you have trouble remembering to take your medicine you should ask your pharmacist for advice. You may find a pill reminder box helpful.
    • You should not suddenly stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor, as this may result in your seizures returning or getting worse. If it is decided that you should stop taking this medicine, the dose should usually be reduced gradually over two to three weeks. Follow the instructions given by your doctor.

      Gabitril should be used with caution in

      • Mild to moderately decreased liver function.
      • Hereditary blood disorders called porphyrias.
      • History of serious behavioural problems.

        Gabitril should not be used in

        • Children under 12 years of age.
        • Severely decreased liver function.
        • Rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption (Gabitril tablets contain lactose).

          This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients. Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have previously experienced such an allergy.

          If you feel you have experienced an allergic reaction, stop using this medicine and inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately.

          Pregnancy and breastfeeding

          Certain medicines should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, before using any medicine.

          • It is very important for women with epilepsy to talk to the doctor responsible for their epilepsy treatment before becoming pregnant. Some antiepileptic medicines are associated with an increased risk of developmental disorders and malformations in the baby. However, stopping antiepileptic treatment during pregnancy runs the risk of the mother having seizures, which can harm both the mother and the foetus. This risk may be higher than that from continuing the medication. The safety of this medicine for use during pregnancy has not been established. The manufacturer states that it should be avoided during pregnancy unless considered essential by your doctor. It is important that all the risks and benefits of treatment are weighed up. Seek medical advice from your doctor.
          • It is not known if this medicine passes into breast milk. The manufacturer recommends that it should be avoided by women who are breastfeeding, unless the benefits of the medicine outweigh any risks to the nursing infant. Mothers who need treatment with this medicine should discuss the risks and benefits of breastfeeding compared to bottlefeeding with their doctor.

            Possible side effects of Gabitril

            Medicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with this medicine. Just because a side effect is stated here does not mean that all people using this medicine will experience that or any side effect.

            • Dizziness.
            • Tiredness.
            • Nervousness.
            • Shaking, usually of the hands (tremor).
            • Diarrhoea.
            • Concentration difficulties.
            • Depressed mood.
            • Unstable moods (emotional lability).
            • Slowed speech.
            • Bruising.
            • Visual disturbances.
            • Confusion.
            • Psychosis.
            • Low white blood cell count.

              The side effects listed above may not include all of the side effects reported by the medicine's manufacturer. For more information about any other possible risks associated with this medicine, please read the information provided with the medicine or consult your doctor or pharmacist.

              If you think you have experienced a side effect from a medicine or vaccine you should check the patient information leaflet. This lists the known side effects and what to do if you get them. You can also get advice from your doctor, nurse or pharmacist. If they think it's necessary they'll report it for you.

              You can also report side effects yourself using the yellow card website:

              How can Gabitril affect other medicines?

              It is important to tell your doctor or pharmacist what medicines you are already taking, including those bought without a prescription and herbal medicines, before you start treatment with this medicine. Similarly, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicines while taking this one, to make sure that the combination is safe.

              The following medicines speed up the breakdown of tiagabine by the body and may reduce the amount in the blood. If you are take any of these medicines in combination with tiagabine your doctor may need to prescribe you a higher dose of tiagabine:

              • carbamazepine
              • phenobarbitone
              • phenytoin
              • primidone.

                It is recommended that people who are taking any antiepileptic medicines should avoid taking the herbal remedy St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum). This is because St John's wort may affect the level of antiepileptic medicines in the blood and could increase the risk of seizures.

                This medicine does not affect oral contraceptive pills.

                Other medicines containing the same active ingredient

                There are currently no other medicines available in the UK that contain tiagabine as the active ingredient.

MARVEL TV Head Excited For Fox X-MEN TV Series 'As A Fan,' HELLFIRE's Cancellation Explained

X-Men by John Cassaday

Credit: Marvel Comics

Marvel may not have the film and TV rights to the X-Men, but Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb is still heavily involved in Fox's plans to bring the X-Men to TV. Though little is yet known about Fox's recently announced X-Men TV project, Loeb says he's excited "as an X-Men fan."

"As an X-Men fan, and ultimately, what Matt [Nix] - the showrunner and creator - brings to it is that the X-Men are always stories about family. That's where they start, that's where they live. It's about understanding how we deal with each other," Loeb told IGN. "It's about parents that don't understand what's wrong with their kids, it's about kids that don't understand their parents. And he understood that. He got it."

The new, untitled X-Men series actually evolved from another previously announced X-Men TV project, titled Hellfire. According to SlashFilm, showrunner Matt Nix evolved his concept when the original writers attached to Hellfire moved on to Fox's 24 revival.

Fox TV CEO Dana Walden explained the change further, saying “We did see an early draft of Hellfire and there was a lot of work to be done. Manny and Evan were getting very busy with the new 24. At a certain point we all regrouped, together with Simon Kinberg and Bryan Singer and Lauren Shuler Donner and Jeph Loeb at Marvel and really made a decision. I would say if there was anything about Hellfire that was not ideal for us, it felt like a show that wanted to live as a feature rather than really taking advantage of what television does best: exploring relationships and characters and smaller moments. It doesn’t mean it can’t feel like a big show but Hellfire felt more like another installment of the features.”

The untitled X-Men project has no projected release date or cast yet attached.

Government scraps bonus pay scheme for public service bosses

The Government has announced an end to the performance pay system for public service chief executives.

It means they can no longer receive discretionary bonuses of up to 15 percent for exceptional performance, a measure that was introduced in 2014.

There are around 30 public service chief executives, all of whom have signed up to new employment agreements.

State Services Minister Chris Hipkins said: "There is a recognition by the chief executives themselves, bearing in mind that they have all signed up to this, that they want to lead by example."

He said scrapping the bonuses is set to save the Government up to $4 million over the next three to four years.

"International research shows that individualised performance pay is not an effective incentive for higher performance for complex roles such as these," Mr Hipkins said.

"We want to make sure that chief executives are operating in a collaborative way, and performance pay cuts against that."

Mr Hipkins said the Commissioner has been starting new chief executives at lower points in the salary band and the Government expects to see "downward pressure" at the top of the public service.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced yesterday that MPs salaries would be frozen for a year, despite the Remuneration Authority advising they were due for a pay rise of about three percent.

Ms Ardern said the Government will develop and implement a "fairer formula".

ACT leader David Seymour says the salaries of top Government bureaucrats should be frozen in the same way and they shouldn't be eligible for pay increases.

"The Prime Minister doesn't want high-earning MPs to get a pay rise at a time when poorly-paid teachers and nurses are bargaining with the Government. That's fair enough," he said.

"If she is to be consistent, though, she must also target the public sector."

Mr Seymour said there are around 16,000 public servants earning more than $100,000 a year and they "should be more than willing to show solidarity with nurses and teachers".

Mr Hipkins said: "By putting a cap on the very top end it will have an effect of suppressing the growth and salaries of those immediately below them."

NFL Players Won't Give Up Peaceful Protests After Trump Comments, But This Week Was Different

NFL players this weekend continued to take part in peaceful protests of police brutality against African Americans but largely shied away from kneeling during the anthem, following disparaging remarks by President Donald Trump made against those who knelt during the national anthem.

Last week marked one of the largest protests across the NFL, with more than 200 people opting to take a knee during the anthem, in a move that has previously been criticized by the president as something that should result in players being “fired.”

In a speech in Alabama on September 23, Trump said: “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a b**** off the field right now. Out. He's fired. He's fired!" following up his comments with a series of tweets last weekend.

And before the games this weekend, Trump once again took to Twitter to encourage people not to take a knee during the anthem.

He wrote: “Very important that NFL players STAND tomorrow, and always, for the playing of our National Anthem. Respect our Flag and our Country!”

There has been much discussion over the past week about players choosing to kneel during the anthem, with those in support of the peaceful protests arguing they are being misunderstood as protests against the anthem, flag, or military; which they are not.

Indeed, NFL player Colin Kaepernick originally chose to sit down for the anthem, but after speaking to former Green Beret Nate Boyer, it emerged Boyer felt it would be more respectful for Kaepernick to kneel if he wished to protest.

"We were talking to [Boyer] about how can we get the message back on track and not take away from the military, not take away from fighting for our country, but keep the focus on what the issues really are,” SBNation reported Kaepernick as saying.

“And as we talked about it, we came up with taking a knee. Because there are issues that still need to be addressed and it was also a way to show more respect to the men and women who fight for this country,” he added.

Following the furor over the number of NFL players who took a knee during the anthem last weekend to protest police brutality against African Americans, some teams opted this week to take a knee prior to the anthem being played, and others appeared to have heeded the president's words and linked arms in solidarity.

The Denver Broncos, who last week all took a knee, announced they would instead be standing in solidarity this week.

The entire teams of the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars knelt ahead of the anthem this week, while the New England Patriots stood with one hand on their heart and one on the chest of the player next to them, The Hill reported.

However, several players knelt during the anthem, including Miami Dolphins players Julius Thomas, Michael Thomas, and Kenny Stills, as well as six Buffalo Bills players.

Fact Checker at Republican Debate Hospitalized for Exhaustion

CHARLESTON (The Borowitz Report)—A fact checker who has vetted all of the 2016 Republican Presidential debates was hospitalized for exhaustion during the sixth G.O.P. forum in Charleston on Thursday evening.

Martin Slessky, a former journalist who works for HonestyWatch, a Minnesota-based fact-checking organization, was resting comfortably after suffering what his doctors called a “total physical and mental collapse” during Thursday’s debate.

Harland Dorrinson, the executive director of HonestyWatch, said he first became concerned about Slessky’s health when the fact checker started having heart palpitations and shortness of breath every time Senator Ted Cruz, of Texas, spoke.

“I turned to Martin and said, ‘Are you all right? Are you going to be able to make it through this?’ ” Dorrinson said. “And he said, ‘I’ll be fine. Ben Carson is starting to talk now; that’ll be soothing.’ ”

But, moments later, when New Jersey governor, Chris Christie, falsely claimed that he never supported the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Slessky experienced acute dizziness and blurry vision, and was immediately rushed to the hospital.

HonestyWatch’s Dorrinson said it was unlikely that he would ask Slessky or any of his other fact checkers to work future Republican debates. “I care about these people,” he said. “Many of them have families.”

Speaking from his hospital bed on Friday, Slessky still seemed blindsided by his sudden disintegration. “Going into the debate, I actually believed that the volume of falsehoods was going to be more manageable this time,” he said. “I thought Carly Fiorina not being there would help.”

Harrison Ludington

Gov. Harrison Ludington

North Carolina

January 3, 1876 - January 7, 1878

July 31, 1812

June 16, 1891

Birth State
New York

Married twice--Frances White, E. M. Tobey; six children

HARRISON LUDINGTON was born in Kent, New York. At the age of twenty-four, he moved to Milwaukee, where he purchased a merchandising business with his uncle. Several years later he entered the lumber business, engaging in lumbering in the northeastern part of the state. He was active in the development of Milwaukee, where his political career began. He served two one-year terms as Alderman and was elected Mayor for four years before winning the governorship in 1875. Ludington focus as governor was on the promotion of business, and his term saw the dismantling of many of the financial reforms of his Democratic predecessor, as well as the weakening of the “Potter Law” that had asserted state jurisdiction to regulate the railroads. Threatened with revolt by younger Republicans, he declined renomination in 1879, and was passed over again in 1881 for governor and in 1882 for Milwaukee Mayor. He returned to private business, and died in Milwaukee.

Chiropractic Testimonials

"I ran into Dr. Nichols at his booth during the Home and Garden Show in Fargo and we discussed some of my past history and the pain and stiffness issues I've been living with. Dr. Nichols asked me to give him a try to see if he could help in relieving or stopping the pain. It turned out to be my lucky day!

My lifestyle and career was always very active, however, a bit reckless at times. It has left me with constant lower back pain (at times severe), neck pain, and all the stiffness and reduced flexibility that go along with back injuries. My past injuries included bulging discs; one in my neck in 1986 and one in my lower back in 1990. On top of that, a couple accidents a few years later reinjured the lower back again.

The past couple years I've had pain that started radiating around my hips, so much so that I couldn't stand or sit in one position very long. I was losing interest in doing the things I enjoyed the most. With a degenerative spine and specialists saying I would need surgery, I had my mind made up that by the end of this summer I would have the surgery. I tried other chiropractors and of course the muscle relaxers, prescription pain meds, and massages but with no improvements, just temporary relief.

Dr. Nichols did an exam and took pictures of my spine and gave me a thorough analysis of what he was seeing. A treatment plan was then scheduled to try and stop or relieve some pain and get some flexibility back. His adjustments stopped the hip pain within weeks and have reduced the lower back pain so I'm much more comfortable again. The adjustments have also taken the stiffness out of the neck area. My flexibility has increased and if I aggravate something, it doesn't last long. The soreness from overworking is now back to normal overnight and not something I have to deal with for weeks like I have been for years.

I couldn't be more pleased with his treatments and care. It has been worth every penny spent to be back to feeling this well! Thank you!"

- Cory

"I never considered a chiropractor. I thought I had a strong and healthy back because I never felt direct pain in my back. Pregnancies, childbirth, the work force, gardening, and other activities, led me to believe that the changes I felt were a normal part of aging. Changes such as numbness in limbs after sleeping, stiff neck, sore and tired back, and developing problems during pregnancies seemed to be normal, even when at times they seemed to worsen. I began a pattern of what felt normal and what just felt worse some days. Then one day with a simple twist in the kitchen, I slipped a disc in my lower back. My first reaction was to get to my doctor. I am not sure what I expected, but I left with two prescriptions and found myself feeling sick and not any healthier 2 days later. This led me on my journey to get healthy and I found Nichols Family Chiropractic.

I came in with an open mind, but had no chiropractic knowledge or understanding of the practice. A few issues were found with the health of my spine and I was more than surprised, I was shocked! I started treatment immediately. Although, my experience is still new, Nichols is already changing my life. After my second visit, when I returned home, I was smelling things I hadn't noticed in years. I believed that I had lost most of my sense of smell during pregnancies. By the third day after my first treatment, I completely stopped using all pain medications prescribed to me, as well as no over the counter pain relievers. I continue my journey to wellness. Nichols Family Chiropractic has been supportive and informative to my total wellness. They offer tools and resources to get me on a path to healthy living and wellness. As each day passes, I continue to breath and smell better. I have more rested sleep and I can feel my core getting stronger. I am a believer, and I look forward to the weeks ahead in my journey towards wellness."

- Jennifer

"Before getting regular adjustments, I would get severe headaches and cramping during menstruation. I would usually have to miss at least one day of work due to the pain. I was also taking pain meds and using a heating pad to help, but this did not always work.

Since my adjustments, I have noticed a great difference. My headaches are less frequent and if I do get one, it is not severe. The pain caused by cramping is also getting much better. I rarely even have to use the heating pad anymore!

Dr. Nichols has helped not only through regular adjustments, but by helping me to live an overall healthier lifestyle for which I will always be grateful."

- Jocelyn

"I'm 53 and have never even considered going to a chiropractor. My parents were strong advocates of traditional medicine and neither had ever tried chiropractic. "Take an aspirin-Tylenol-ibuprophen."

My entire life, I've been plagued with a dull but nagging lower back pain. I blamed my shoes, heavy lifting or some activity; anything but a physical issue. Undoubtedly, this has been an issue for as long as I can remember.
In recent years, I have been "nursing" chronic neck pain which I self-diagnosed as a pinched nerve. "It will take care of itself," I told myself. But it got so bad in recent months, that wearing a necklace or even a collar on a jacket was excruciating. This issue brought me to tears.

Flash forward- So here I am. Whether it is age or negligence on my part, all I knew was that I needed to do something quick. I happened upon Dr. Jared Nichols, at a recent expo. I walked into his booth and hoped for magic on the spot. What I got was the opportunity to finally diagnose and actually treat my back and neck pain.
I was glad that his method included an x-ray so I could see for myself, what I was facing. Remember that low chronic back pain? I have an uneven pelvis and curvature of the spine; and my neck pain? My head looked like it was sitting on a pike rather than on a gracefully curved neck.

I like the idea of being treated by someone who has the most current training in the latest techniques that the Chiropractic profession has to offer.

So here is the bottom line:

  1. My neck pain has greatly diminished so I can now wear necklaces and collared jackets.
  2. My neck mobility has improved so much that I am actually a safer driver!
  3. I also learned that I can now touch my toes! This was a fun and unexpected surprise.
  4. Weirdest of all, my chronic raspy voice seems to be improving.

Dr. Jared reminded me that our nervous system isn't just about feeling pain, but also controls all body functions-even the mucous glands, in our throats. Karaoke anyone?!"

- Mo

"Before starting to see Dr. Nichols I had an accident where some hemorrhaging took place in the front of my brain, resulting in paralysis of the left side of my body for several weeks. The paralysis forced me to be bed ridden causing pain and lack of sleep. I still have lingering effects from the accident in the form of my left ankle being partially paralyzed.

Since seeing Dr. Nichols for the past several months, I have made significant improvement in my walking as well as regaining motion in my ankle and foot and continue to improve on a daily basis. He has also corrected the problems from being bed ridden. With his continued chiropractic help and encouragement I am 100% confident I will make a complete recovery as well as being healthier as a whole."

- Adam

"I recently injured my back in a manner that took me from being a very active person to being unable to complete most any task. I was unable to sit in a chair at all and lying in bed was even very painful. The only comfortable position was standing.

I sought treatment elsewhere for a couple of weeks; however, my condition was worsening. I was referred to Dr. Nichols by a friend of mine who is a retired chiropractor. Dr. Nichols thoroughly examined me on my first visit, to a level I had not seen in prior care. Dr. Nichols took complete x-ray images and was able to see and show me where my problem lay. He was honest and told me upfront he felt he could treat me and if we did not see results, he knew where to send me.

Dr. Nichols immediately put together a treatment plan. After just a couple of treatments I was feeling relief. After a few weeks of treatments I am now feeling much better.

I would and have recommended Dr. Nichols to others. I feel he truly has a passion for what he does. Dr. Nichols sets goals for his patients with every intention of achieving them."

Floating Wire Shelves

Everyone has small spaces, do not use in your home that will only lose because standard storage solutions are not designed to fit but you can make your own wire shelves that are not only practical, but are also attractive because they use cable network to support them. By making these shelves yourself, you can fit in storage space between closets, under stairs or in other unorthodox places that would otherwise be empty.

Many, like kitchen or on porch, have decorative wire shelves. Some are very simple with no embellishment while others have decorative elements carved on their shelves. They can be very charming, but also pose some challenges decoration. Placing racks on risk of falling through cable. Furthermore, construction of these shelves knocks a possibility; are often not as heavy bottom should be. However, when you decorate, you can cover some of its shortcomings and drop items so that they remain firmly in place.

Wire shelves come in a variety of  lengths and sizes, about two feet long, more than six feet long and can be purchased at home depot and stores. Choose from basic wire or wire covered with white laminate design your closet.  Metal rods for hanging clothes and wire baskets with a roll feature that works like a drawer.
