CA Research Aid - Naturalization Records
Page last updated on 3 June 2014
The following article is an adaption of four articles describing naturalization records. The original was published in the San Mateo County Genealogical Society Newsletter, Mar-Jul 1999.
The Naturalization Processby Cath Madden Trindle, CG
Naturalization is a voluntary act by which a person of foreign birth becomes a United States citizen. Not all emigres chose to become citizens. Checking the census records for 1890 through 1930 you find thatfully 25% had not filed for citizenship.
An émigré could file for naturalization in any court of record. Most went to the court most convenientto them, usually the county court. However, it was not uncommon to go to a US District or Circuit court.
Generally a person can file a Declaration of Intention become a citizen after living in the United States for two years. After an additional three years the alien can file a petition to become a citizen After the petition is approved the alien is issued a certificate of Naturalization.
There were three exceptions to the general practice:
- Naturalization of Husband or Father
- From 1790 until 1922 wives were exempt from filing separate papers from their husbands. Upon naturalization of their husbands they also became citizens.
- A foreign born woman who married a U.S. citizen automatically became a citizen.
- An American woman who married an alien lost her U.S. citizenship, even if she never left the United States.
- From 1790 to 1940, children under the age of 21 automatically became naturalized citizens upon the naturalization of a parent.
Unfortunately, however, names and biographical information about wives and children were seldom included in declarations or petitions filed before September 1906.
You might find information on these wives and children through voting records. Many jurisdictions required voters to prove their eligibility to vote. Many kept some sort of card file or ledger of those who had submitted proof of citizenship. After 1906 names of wives and children are listed on the Naturalization Certificate. A copy of the certificate should give you the wife's name and the names and ages of all the children in the household at the time of naturalization.
- From 1824 to 1906, minor aliens who had lived in the United States 5 years before their 23rd birthday could file both their declarations and petitions at the same time.
- After 1862, those who were honorably discharged from U.S. military service were excused from the step of filing Declarations of Intention.
- You might find military naturalizations interspersed with other county naturalizations
- During World War I, military camps were established throughout the US. If you can't find your WWI ancestors naturalization look for his discharge and check for his naturalization in the same area.
Declaration of Intention
Many emigres would file their intention to become a citizen soon as possible, which was after living legally in the United States for two years. Declarations were often filed near the first entry point of the ancestor. Often an immigrant would work in an area long enough to accumulate enough money to buy land in some other place. Final papers might be found where he eventually settled or anywhere that he lived for a long enough time in between.
Until 1906, the content of forms for declaration of intention varied dramatically from one county to another and from one court to another. A large percentage of the first papers created before 1906 contain very little biographical information. Those of California counties are no exception.
Declarations of intention produced after 15 September 1906 generally contain the following information: (Name, Address, Occupation, Birthplace, Nationality , Country from which emigrated, Birth date or age, Personal description, Date of intention, Marital status, Last foreign residence, Port of entry, Name of ship, Date of entry, Date of document).
Keep in mind that many people did not complete the naturalization process. The Declaration although informationally skimpy might be the only document you find. At the very least it will pinpoint your ancestors whereabouts at a certain point of time, at the best it will give birth date, last foreign residence
and other helpful statistics.
Petitions to Become a Citizen
These were formal applications submitted to the court by individuals who had met the residency requirements and who had declared their intention to become citizens. As with the Declaration of Intention, information content varied dramatically from one court to another. Most petitions created before 1906 offer little in terms of personal information. Again San Mateo County was no exception to the rule.
After 1906, the picture changes. The following is usually included on the Certificate: Name , Address, Occupation, Date of emigration, Birthplace, Country from which emigrated, Birth date or age, Length of time in the United States, Date of intention, Name and age of spouse , Names and ages of children, Last foreign residence, Port and mode of entry, Name of ship, Date of entry, Names of witnesses, Date of document, Address of spouse, Photograph (after 1929)
In San Mateo County the Declaration of Intention to become a Citizen and a Certificate of Arrival are usually attached to the petition. All of the petitions that are available in the repository have been bound into books.
In some cases depositions were required in order to finish the Naturalization process. Perhaps a person moved and no citizen in the present location could swear that the petitioner had lived in the United States for at least five years. In such cases witnesses would go before the courts in their place of residence and file a deposition stating that the petitioner had in fact been a resident from a certain date. Depositions might be attached to the naturalization documents or might be filed separately.
Certificates of Naturalization
The final step in the naturalization process. Certificates were issued to naturalized citizens upon completion of all citizenship requirements. As in the cases of declarations of intention and the petitions, the amount of information provided on the certificate may vary greatly from one year to another. In some cases, the certificate will provide: Name, Address, Birthplace or nationality, Country from which emigrated, Birth date or age, Personal,
description, Marital status, Name of spouse, Names, ages, and addresses of children, Date of document,but they usually contain only the name of the individual, the name of the court, and the date of issue.
Generally the court did not retain copies of certificates issued to new citizens, but certificates were usually issued in bound volumes. Typical volumes were designed in a checkbook fashion, with the certificate to the right side of the page, and a stub to the left to be kept as a permanent record of the person to whom the certificate was issued. These naturalization stub books, as they were sometimes called, also vary in content from one year to another, but sometimes contain valuable genealogical information. Some court officials regarded stub books as a duplication of records that occupied needed space and ordered them destroyed. There are some stubs in the San Mateo Repository. We did not use these stubs when adding certificate dates and numbers to the index as these items were carefully recorded on the petitions and you could not receive a certificate from a court other than that in which you filed your petition.
To locate your ancestors naturalization records........
Pre 1906
- Contact the local court in the county or state where you suspect the papers were filed.
- Check Records available at the Family History Library .
- If the naturalization was filed in Federal Court the papers should be located in the National Archives. California had both a Northern and a Southern District Court. Card Indexes to both courts are currently being indexed by Ancestry and will be available on their website to search for free. The Southern District Court records are also available on Fold3.
Post 1906
Under the act of 29 June 1906 (32 Stat. 596 sec. 3) the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization was established to provide for a uniform rule for the naturalization of aliens throughout the United States. The law, effective 27 September 1906, was designed to provide "dignity, uniformity, and regularity" to the naturalization procedure. Procedural safeguards were established which standardized information and required that all blank forms and records be obtained from and controlled by the Bureau of Immigration. Thus all applications now included age, occupation, personal description, date and place of birth, current citizenship, present address and past foreign address, ports of embarkation and entry, name of vessel or alternate means of conveyance, date of arrival in the United States, spouse and children's full names, dates and places of birth and place of residence as of the date of the document. Knowledge of English became a basic requirement for those wishing to receive and Certificate of Naturalization.
The new bureau controlled which courts were used for the naturalization process. Some county and state courts, like San Mateo, have retained records of naturalization documents filed in their jurisdictions.
Each US district court should have an index of the naturalizations that took place within it's jurisdication from 1906 on. Check with the courts in the area where your ancestor lived. All courts were required to send copies of the documents to the Bureau of Naturalization, which was ultimately responsible for the process. At times the review process caused the county naturalization to be canceled. Copies of documents created at the court level as well as those added by the Bureau of Immigration can be obtained from: the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Post 1906 Naturalization records can be obtained from US Citizenship Immigration Services
The original northern California District court records are available in at the National Archives San Francisco. They are indexed by a card file on microfilm.
Original southern California District Court records are available at the National Archives Riverside.

True Underutilized Talent in: The WWE
by, 10-27-2011 at 07:02 PM (5018 Views)
The way I'm determining Underutilized talent in this post, is if I believe the superstar isn't being used properly, and to their full potential.
5.Drew Mcintyre
Drew is an extremely underutilized talent. Drew was brought in as the chosen one and almost immediately won the Intercontinental Championship in a good match against John Morrison. Drew held the title for 5 months before dropping it to Kofi Kingston and a good outing. His reign was fairly entertaining but he didn't have many fueds. Drew was okay for a while but after being drafted to RAW he's been jobbing every match. Even when not jobbing he only gets in small bits of offense.
4.Kofi Kingston
Kofi is doing okay at the moment, but he could be a bigger star than he is. Kofi is "the Ultimate Midcarder" When the WWE needs to freshen things up with a Midcard Title reign, he's their guy. Kofi almost always gives an exciting match, even though he isn't the most compelling on the microphone.
3.Jack Swagger
Swagger's career shortly after losing the World Heavyweight Championship was horrid. Swagger lost nearly every match, and was just continually falling down the ladder. Then, near Wrestlemania 27 he began coaching Michael Cole, Swagger should've been used properly then, either getting huge heat with Cole as a manager, or by turning face by beating down Cole. Swagger then had a mini-feud with Evan Bourne and lost almost every match, since ZigSwag has started, he's getting his shine back, but he still has enormous star potential and is a great technical wrestler.
2.John Morrison
Do I need to explain?
1.Wade Barrett
My god WWE are you really as stupid as you try to be? Barrett was RED hot when he joined the RAW roster, he had great mic skills, and put him some really good matches even though he was a rookie, Barrett proved he could main event PPV's by wrestling John Cena, and Randy Orton in the main events of two consecutive PPV's. Barrett lost the leadership of Nexus to CM Punk and basically his career died. He had an IC title run, he lost it to Big Zeke, lost some more, beat Daniel Bryan repetitively and then gained wins on other Superstars and he looks to be making a comeback, I hope Wade becomes a Main Eventer very soon, because he's the most Underutilized talent in the WWE.

Pawan Kalyan's last release Gabbar Singh, which was a remake of Salman Khan's Hindi film Dabangg, was released in just 50 screens in America, but had done an excellent business there. The Harish Shankar directed film had collected Rs 4.13 crores ($7,65,373) in its opening weekend. Its per screen average was working out to $17,799, which was better than that of the original movie Dabangg.
Whereas, Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu, which was released in 80 screens in the country, has also done a wonderful collection at the USA Box Office. It has collected Rs 2.88 crores ($5,38,188) in the country in the first weekend. It has topped the collection chart in the USA, beating the much-hyped Bollywood movie Student of the Year, which raked in Rs 1.75 crores ($3,26,508) from 106 screens in its opening weekend.
However, Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu is one of the most-awaited movies of Telugu in 2012 and it was expected to smash the record of Gabbar Singh, but it has failed to do so. Its per screen average is $6,727, which is almost 1/3rd of the per screen average of blockbuster movie Gabbar Singh. The makers are yet to make out what went wrong with this film.

More and more small businesses have been setting up shop on Facebook. Dan Levy, Facebook's Global Director of Small Business, announced recently at the Dreamforce conference that more than 25 million pages represent small businesses — including e-commerce — all over the world.
Levy previously told Inside Facebook that small businesses are a growing part of Facebook's advertiser base, which weighs in at more than one million.
A Facebook spokesperson commented on this news:
Prior to this new categorization, Facebook counted the total number of small businesses on Facebook as Pages that had a physical store location. Given the growth of e-commerce SMBs on Facebook, that total number will now also include small businesses that sell their products and services online. Active Pages are Pages that an admin has logged into and/or posted to in the past month.

MOULTON, Ala. (WHNT) - Lawrence County Doctor Samuel Nixon Gillespie didn't spend much time in his office Friday. He spent most of the day in jail. Deputies arrested the family physician on a charge of domestic violence. Gillespie posted bond and got out of jail late Friday afternoon.
Gillespie is also accused in an unrelated case of chasing down a 16-year old girl along Highway 24. He has not been arrested in that case. The girl and her father talked with WHNT NEWS 19.
Sheriff's deputies could end up arresting the doctor again regarding Auburn Morris' claims. She told WHNT NEWS 19 her nightmare began in the parking lot of the Moulton Wal-Mart. The 16-year-old had just come out of the store when she noticed the doctor.
Morris' heart-pounding race started with a man's whistle.
"I was just like OK, I don't know what the guy is wanting. Anyway, he comes flying in behind me. I was like what the crap," said Morris.
The teenager rushed to her car in the Wal-Mart parking lot to get away. She says she was forced to run a stop sign to get onto Highway 24.
"He kept going and going, like, right at me. He was trying to hit the back of me. I don't know what he was doing," added Morris.
Morris believes the man was Dr. Gillespie. The 58-year-old is a family physician in Moulton.
"If I had hit my brakes, he would have hit me. He was on me," added Morris.
Auburn Morris' father filed a police report.
"He almost killed my daughter last night. That's a fact. If she was not a good driver like she is, who knows what he would have done," said Ronald Morris.
"I'm kind of scared now. I could not sleep last night. It seriously startled me. I feared for my life," added Auburn Morris.
The father and daughter told WHNT NEWS 19 sheriff's deputies believe the doctor thought the teenager was his wife in another man's car.
"I don't know what his problem was and don't know why he would think that. I have no idea," added Morris.
WHNT NEWS 19 checked with the staff at the Lawrence County Jail to find out if Dr. Gillespie was charged in the Highway 24 chase. The jail guard said no and the charge will come once a warrant is signed. Deputies will then have to re-arrest the doctor.

SARASOTA - Heavy rain and gusty winds made their way throughout the Suncoast and across the state Thursday, courtesy of Tropical storm Andrea. The storms managed to leave a lasting impact on certain areas of the Suncoast.
The tropical storm, which moved through the area near high tide, flooded streets and docks, and gusty winds sent trees and branches crashing to the ground -- and in some cases, on roofs.
"I saw the wind kick up through the window, and then I heard a big bang, like a huge clap of thunder. I didn't know what it was," said Gulf Gate resident Kevin Thompson.
In Sarasota's Gulf Gate neighborhood, water overflowed from a pond on to a residential road. "It just got very windy and very rainy; sideways rain, and it all of a sudden it was just like a downburst. It was just horrific. At that point I ran into the closet thinking I need to take shelter," said resident Marianne Brady.
In Eastern Manatee County, a tornado formed in Myakka City, ripping apart structures and power lines. "I looked outside, it was raining so hard. I just heard everything. It was very loud, very strong. It sounded fierce. You hope for the best," said Rod Green.
In coastal Manatee County, the waves picked up, and salt water spalshed in to people's back yards in the Palma Sola community.
And on Anna Maria Island, motorists drove through flooded roadways, as boats got a good washing.
Residents in South Venice also got a scare, as a possible tornado made its way through the area near Syracuse Road, causing some minor home damage.
Fortunately, there no other major damage to our area from Andrea. And so far, no reports of any injuries.

City officials painted a rosy picture of Santa Clarita's projected budget for the next fiscal year during a meeting Tuesday night, calling it balanced and conservative while also containing funding for a variety of needed projects around the city.
Santa Clarita City Council members and members of the city's Arts Commission, Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission and Planning Commission gathered Tuesday for a joint budget study session in City Hall.
During the meeting, City Manager Ken Striplin said three of the primary goals of the budget are to focus on the city's aging infrastructure, maintain a futuristic approach and continue to increase the city's general fund operating reserve.
Striplin also said city general fund revenues are finally back to pre-recession levels.
The budget includes projected general fund revenues of $91.3 million, with general fund expenditures of $90.8 million.
The city's general fund operating reserve is projected to hit 18 percent this year, Striplin said, and the city continues to look to grow that reserve in the coming fiscal years.
The projected $191.5 million budget for the upcoming 2014-2015 fiscal year includes spending on a variety of projects and efforts ranging from $135,000 for continued advocacy regarding the proposed Cemex mine in Soledad Canyon to a $100,000 increase in the city's contribution to the Santa Clarita Valley Senior Center — bringing that total contribution to around $750,000, according to city officials.
The projected Capital Improvement Program budget for the next fiscal year is projected to be around $39.1 million, according to Striplin. Some notable capital projects on tap include $580,000 to replace the roof at the Valencia Library, $1 million for the city's sidewalk repair program and $10.5 million for the overlay and slurry seal program.
The budget proposal is slated to go before the city Planning Commission on June 3, with a public hearing to follow on June 10.
Final adoption of the budget by the City Council is expected on June 24, according to city officials.
The 2014-2015 fiscal year begins July 1.

Whether it's car, home, health or life, everyone will at some point need insurance. With that in mind, Bankrate sat down with some of the top experts in the insurance field to get their thoughts on the industry and what consumers need to know.
Graphic: What factors affect my auto insurance premium?
Madelyn Flannagan, Vice President of Educational Research and Agent Development, Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America:
The year, make, model, and value of the car that you're purchasing are all going to affect your insurance. So it's always best before you make the new car purchase to call your agent and just compare. If I buy an older car with a lesser value, understand you're going to pay less for insurance. But if you're buying a newer car there might be some cheaper newer cars that have a lesser value or less risk of a loss. So just call your agent and make your choice that way.
Jim Whittle, Chief Claims Counsel, American Insurance Association:
Some of the variables are your own experience. How much are you driving? Where are you driving? You might have an insurer that cares about credit scores. You might have an experience rating, your youthfulness can be an issue. So there is a whole array of variables really shopping around. Empowering yourself, asking questions, making sure you are satisfied with the answers. If you don't like that somebody is using a certain variable you will find somebody that isn't because they are willing to do business without that variable.
One of the best things to ask your insurance agent when you're getting a price is to compare and contrast several companies. Most insurance agents represent at least ten personalized carriers. So ask them to give you a price with all those carriers and give you information about those carriers so you can make an informed choice.

The Huskies, who won for the ninth straight time at home, are now 3-0 on the season, while the Cavaliers drop to 1-2.
While Lorenzen (13 completions in 15 attempts for 124 yards and his first passing touchdown of the campaign) had a stellar game, the star of the evening was Brown. He accumulated 206 yards on 20 carries and scored three touchdowns, all while playing less than three quarters of the contest. He has now rushed for 581 yards on 79 carries this season (a 7.2 average), and he has scored eight touchdowns in Connecticut's first three games.
Lorenzen, who had struggled in the first two games of the season, was a perfect 11-for-11 in the first half in directing the Huskies to scoring drives on their first four possessions of the game. The Huskies took the opening drive and marched 70 yards on 11 plays, with Brown bulling over from the three for the score to put Connecticut ahead, 7-0.
The Connecticut defense, which extended its streak of not allowing a touchdown this season to over 11 quarters and an overtime period before giving up a late Virginia score, immediately stopped the Cavaliers and the Huskies had the ball back. Again Lorenzen led the Huskies down the field, with big completions to Darius Butler (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) and Steve Brouse (Selinsgrove, Pa.) before Lorenzen hit Anthony Davis (Germantown, Md.) with a three-yard touchdown toss to put UConn up 14-0 early in the second stanza.
After a Virginia three-and-out, Brown had his first of two 63-yard runs to put the Huskies deep in Virginia territory. Four plays later, Butler scored the first offensive touchdown (he is the team's starting defensive cornerback) of his career on a 13-yard run and the Huskies led 21-0.
Virginia followed with their best penetration to that point in the game behind quarterback Marc Verica (22 of 30, one interception, 158 yards passing). But the vaunted Connecticut defense held on a fourth-and-one and the Huskies took possession on downs. The Huskies marched down the field, 75 yards in eight plays capped off by Brown's second score of the game, an eight-yard run.
The second half was more of the same as Brown burst through a hole and rambled 63 yards for a touchdown midway through the third quarter. After linebacker Lawrence Wilson (Tuscaloosa, Ala.) intercepted Verica, freshman Jordan Todman (North Dartmouth, Mass.), seeing the first playing time of his career after missing the first two games of the campaign with injury, led the Huskies down the field and scored his first collegiate touchdown on a 14-yard run. Todman finished with 81 yards on 13 carries.
The Huskies thoroughly dominated both sides of the ball, out-gaining the Cavaliers 506-219. Dahna Deleston (East Hartford, Conn.) and Scott Lutrus (Brookfield, Conn.) each had six tackles for the Huskies, who allowed just 15 yards rushing on 14 attempts.
The Huskies will return to the gridiron on Friday, September 19, when they play host to Baylor at Rentschler Field. Tickets are available by clicking the link at the top of this page.
Kickoff is set for 8:00 p.m., and the contest will be televised-nationally by ESPN2.

Post Game Quotes
University of Connecticut

Opening Statement:
"This was a great win for us and the kids played very, very well. We had a good week of practice, prepared well, and came out here tonight very focused. Offensively that is probably as good of a first half that we played since I've been here. We were hitting on all cylinders and everybody was contributing. Defensively we played well so it was a total team effort. I am very proud of our guys."
Can you talk about Tyler Lorenzen's game tonight, it looked like this was the type of game you have been waiting for all season?
"I thought he was having fun tonight. I thought he was very focused and not that he wasn't focused the first two weeks, but I felt he was so at ease with himself out there and played a very solid game. If he didn't have it, he didn't hesitate, he took it and he ran, he was very decisive tonight. That's what we want him to continue to do is be very decisive."
Did you see anything when preparing for Virginia this week that caused you to use Darius Butler on offense tonight?
"We wanted to, you guys have seen it at practice and preseason, we've worked him and I made the decision to use him on third down and in the redzone. That is what we will continue to do. I asked him at halftime how he felt and he said he felt good and he needs to be honest with me and honest with himself because if he is going to get some plays on offense I don't want it to take away from us on defense."
On a night like this, how did the running game complement the running game?
"The big thing is, as a team we want to have balance. That does not necessarily mean throwing as much as running, but when you have the running game going the way that we did and then you throw it and make completions, it falls hand in hand. Some people will be committed to using the pass game to open the run game, but we are the other way around in the sense that we run the ball to open up the pass game. Some days we may have to switch that, but we felt that could be productive in the run game, and we try to use the run to setup our passing game."
Donald , JR TB
Did this game mean a little more to you?
"Yeah it does every game is important every game means the world to me but there are 2 red letter games on the schedule and this was one of them."
566 yards, 8 touchdowns, through three games, what is clicking for you?
It's the offensive line, the fullback, the receivers they are just making my job easy.
Knowing what you know about Virginia, were you surprised what you were able to do on offense against Virginia?
"Not really because we had a good week of practice there was little thought in the back of our heads about what happened down there last year. I knew that we would do well today."
Tyler , SR QB
Tyler, Randy said you had fun tonight, that you have had fun all week. Did you have fun tonight?
"Yeah I definitely did, I love my teammates and when we have success and they score, I just get excited. They are just a great bunch of guys to be around and I just get excited for them."
You like running the ball ten times a game?
"I'll do anything, as long as we win, I will do anything, I don't even care."
I know we ask you this all the time, but how much more open were your receivers today because of your rush attack?
"You know, I think bottom line if we do what we know we can do we are going to be successful. Donnie and the other running back, they want the ball every play, the receivers want the ball all the time too and we just have to find what's clicking and you know when we got to keep things rolling. When we got things working we just got to keep things going."
Jordon , FR TB
What did you expect playing your first game today?
"I didn't know what to expect. Being a freshman and coming out on the big stag playing against UVA, which is a great team. You get nervous but after the first play you get the butterflies out and your ready to go. I have been playing football since the age of eight so it comes natural after the first play. I am excited and I am happy with my debut. I felt that I did pretty well, the team did pretty well and we won which is the most important thing."
Was it as easy as it looked?
"No I would say it was not easy at all. It is easy when the offensive line, full back and the wide receivers are blocking like they do. When they do the right things the holes open up which is the object of the plays so it goes well for us."
Darius , SR CB
Is there something that you bring to the offense that they would not have?
"I wouldn't say that they wouldn't have it with out me. I think that I bring an element that the defenses have to prepare for during the week and that is always harder. I know from experience. I think that I bring explosiveness and I think I can make some big plays."
On playing offense:
"I was pretty much a decoy in the play but they worked me in more. They told me this week during practice to prepare and that I would get some reps in this game and they came through."
University of Virginia
"We don't take anything lightly. It's not about in any way, shape or form anybody who wasn't here. Our team is the team we put on the field today. I'm responsible for that. I take the blame for that and they're really no other names to discuss."
On the play of UConn's RB Donald Brown & Tyler Lorenzen:
"He was who we thought he would be. He's very good. Fast, competitive – obviously – more than what we prepared for. [Lorenzen was] very strong. His ability to get drives started early on, throw accurately, get out of the pocket had us coming and going. The combo of his outstanding play, Donald brown's outstanding play and our shortcomings in certain areas… it was coming from every direction."
On the play of backup QB Marc Verica:
"He made some decent throws. There were a lot of open guys out there, too… where the ball might've gone but as I said, this wasn't about any individuals. We all did this together. He had a good head about him throughout the course of the game. Some plays he made needed clearer decisions and more accurate throws but it didn't have anything to do with poise and confidence."
"The challenge is to get to the next game and obviously, fix some things about this game. I know it's the easiest thing to say 'learn from your mistakes' but we got some fundamentals and some things we got to get back to the drawing board. Once we get to the ACC, [games] like this can't happen. I was trying to rally our defense a little bit and trying to get our offense some more movement. We weren't happy by any means… [The offense] wanted to do some more things and we left some plays out there."

Triangle gets short break from arctic air
Posted February 21, 2015
Updated February 22, 2015
Raleigh, N.C. — Warmer air arrived in central and eastern North Carolina this weekend, offering some brief relief after a week of record-breaking cold temperatures and wintry precipitation.
"We are finally going to get away from the record-breaking cold, at least for a couple of days," WRAL meteorologist Mike Moss said.
Clouds, sprinkles and rain showers will accompany the warmer air, making for a damp and grey weekend.
"No winter weather expected for us," WRAL meteorologist Aimee Wilmoth said.
Early Sunday, two cold fronts combined and pushed through the state, generating rain showers.
"Showers will move to the east during the afternoon, but sprinkles are possible throughout the day," Moss said.
Highs Sunday will reach the low 50s, still about 5 degrees below normal for late February.
Behind the front, cooler air will return for the work week. Highs will be in the 30s both Monday and Tuesday, but overnight lows will be in the 20s instead of the teens and single digits.
The cooler air could bring a wintry mix to central North Carolina on Monday, but Wilmoth said "it should not be a big deal."

Chuck D Protests Immigration Law With Fine Art Collaboration
Where does racial profiling end when it's the law?
This is only one of the many questions Public Enemy founder Chuck D poses with "By The Time I Got To Arizona," a fine art collaboration created under his specific direction that foreshadows the future of America if policies based on profiling continue.
For his first foray into fine art, the hip-hop legend worked hand-in-hand with artist Ravi Dosaj -- whose recent art project with RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan was named "The Greatest Painting Of 2010" by Village Voice -- re-engineering a variety of traditional 20th century American imagery to create an accurate portrait of a country eating itself.
Though the piece won't be shown publicly until early March, the concept behind the work is described as "a future Arizona border created in a sophisticated collage utilizing a cache of recognizable figures (created over the last 100 years) to show how our 'nation of immigrants' has been lost to legislation."
Hidden within the piece are more than 30 various figures, lyrics, and messages for viewers to find. Arizona, which takes its name from Public Enemy's classic 1991 song "By The Time I Get To Arizona", picks up where Chuck's recently released track, "Tear Down That Wall", left off, keeping the spotlight on what he feels is one of America's most important issues today.
Each piece comes with an authenticity placard, is numbered and signed by Chuck, and features his original handprints on the canvas in acrylic paint.
Only 500 drafts will exist in the world.
The set is slated for release March 4. For more info, visit TheArtofChuck.com, or LegacyOften.com.
P.E. frontman Chuck D has made a career out of saying the kinds of things that, even, twenty years later, mainstream America still isn't ready to hear. 1988's It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back album revolutionized music, had the entire world shouting fight the power, heralded hip-hop's "Golden Era", and has made every critic's best-albums-ever list since.

Anyone Have A Good Pink Champagne Cake Recipe?
Decorating By Children Updated 15 Oct 2008 , 8:09pm by seagoat
I keep hearing about pink champagne cake and I would love to try it. I just need a good recipe. Can anyone help?
I have never heard of such a thing... but it sounds wonderful! I will stay tuned and hope that someone, somewhere has one!
You can soak your usual white cake with champagne+simple syrup and even sub out the water in the recipe if you like.
there is a reciepe here on the site calls for a white cake and champagne sounds like a good one to me ive never tried it yet although i did by the champagne flavoring,
All I do is take a white cake mix and instead of adding the called for amount of water, add pink champagne instead! Super easy and people (especially brides!) love it! Good luck!!
...ditto all of the above
take your favourite white cake mix, replace the extracts with Lorann's champagne flavouring and replace some of the liquid in the recipe with champagne
I used to get a Pink Champagne cake growing up. Oh, how I loved that cake. The problem for me is I can't seem to remember how it was....besides the yummy frosting!
It's a white cake (with possible water/champagne exchange)
A cream filling, and maybe a IMBC type frosting.
I just wish I could get another piece of that cake! Now that I have knowledge about cakes, I could analyze better. It's a 50 yr old secret from the Bakery called McGavins in Bremerton Washington.

Limpopo - A corruption probe into Limpopo roads and transport head Ntau Letebele should continue despite his resignation, the DA said on Wednesday.
"The investigations into the awarding of a R53 million contract to On-Point Engineering must continue, to ensure that individuals who were involved in the awarding of the tender face the full might of the law," Democratic Alliance spokeswoman Meisie Kennedy said.
"The former MEC for the department Pinkie Kekana must step down with immediate effect as the MEC for economic development, environment and tourism, for the role she played as the executive authority in this matter."
Limpopo transport spokesman Joshua Kwapa said Letebele handed in a resignation notice dated January 10.
"I confirm that he (Letebele) resigned and that the MEC has accepted his resignation. His last day of work was yesterday (Tuesday), after he requested to be let go early."
The resignation followed the announcement of an investigation into the department's awarding a R53 million contract to On-Point Engineering, that allegedly partly benefited former ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema.
Malema's business partner Lesiba Gwangwa is chief executive of On-Point.
In October, Public Protector Thuli Madonsela found Letebele's conduct in respect of the awarding of the bid to On-Point "improper, and constituted maladministration".
Madonsela found the department unlawfully awarded tenders to On-Point Engineering.
She found On-Point and Malema benefited improperly from the contract. - Sapa

In early May of 1987, Jeep Jackson, along with many of the Miners, played at a benefit game at Fort Bliss. Early in the game, Jackson collapsed.
I got a call at home minutes later from Joe Gomez, the unofficial archivist of UTEP basketball. He said I needed to get to Beaumont Hospital, pronto. Joe met me at the emergency room door, and his face said it all—Jeep was gone. He'd never regained consciousness.
The El Paso Police Department wrote, in an affidavit, "it is believed that cocaine was the contributing factor." A young woman was arrested. Rumors swirled around town.
Jeep was buried in his #22 UTEP uniform.
A cloud seemed to settle over sunny El Paso, one that would take forever to blow over. I sat at my desk in the Special Events Center and stared at the walls for weeks.
The coroner's report took forever. When it came out, we learned that Jackson did not have cocaine in his blood, and he didn't die directly from the drug, although traces were in his urine. It was a "congenital heart defect," the coroner suggested. But by that time, the damage had been done in the national media. Jeep was compared to Len Bias, the deceased Maryland star who'd partied too hard just eleven months earlier.
Haskins, on his own, quietly "retired" Jeep's locker, had a plaque put above it. No player would ever use it again. Last time I checked, Jeep's stuff was still in that locker.
Any player currently on the roster was, according to Coach Haskins, simply not very good. In fact, there usually wasn't one damn thing a player with eligibility could do well.
Yet anyone who finished his career for the Miners was a fine player. No matter how little a guy had played, how bad his stats were, he'd be difficult to replace, and Haskins would praise him. Steve Yellen, for example, averaged less than one point a game, but he was transformed into "a helluva competitor."
Thus, the true greats from UTEP or Texas Western took on legendary status around the basketball program. Big Daddy Lattin was like a Marvel comic book superhero. Gary Brewster was as much a myth as a man. Gus Bailey, who played in the NBA despite a gnarled knee, should have been given the Congressional Medal of Honor. The best players—especially the ones with great heart—became immortal, due to Haskins' embellished storytelling.
Yet, Haskins refused to get involved with media questions like "Who were the best five players ever at UTEP?" He treated every player equally to the public: they were practically worthless when they played, irreplaceable when they finished. That was it, as far as the fans would ever know.
But despite his public claims, and treating the Miners pretty-much equally, he didn't feel the same about all of them. How could he?
Haskins loved Jeep Jackson. He never said that, of course, but there was simply no disguising it. Despite Jeep's one aberration, his chafing at halftime of the Iowa game, Haskins loved him. He'd felt the force of Jeep's personality, how one kid playing really hard could lift his teammates—and our fans, coaches, and even our P.A. announcer and radio voice—into a tireless intensity. And Haskins had seen Jeep transform from a decent shooter to a great shooter when the game was in the balance. And, let's face it, Haskins never laughed around the Special Events Center. Jeep changed that, just a few times, but enough to notice.
Haskins didn't get to reminisce about Jeep Jackson's career for very long. Jeep died less than two months after the Iowa game. So Haskins never told Jeep stories, the way he might tell tales about past players. He was never immortalized in the film room or commemorated in team meetings, not like Nate Archibald or Bad News Barnes or Bobby Joe Hill.
I was glad Haskins didn't tell Jeep Jackson stories. Hearing them would have been too painful, and anyway, the coach never showed his emotional cards. Still, anytime I went into the locker room for games or meetings, or just to think, there it was: Jeep's locker. And I knew Don Haskins had done that.
Today, a quarter of a century after he checked out of the game, I keep seeing Jeep. I remember the way he would glance back at his teammates when the Miners needed a defensive stop, then slap the floor with both hands. That wordless gesture meant get down low in a stance, and don't you quit—precisely what Haskins would have told the team if he could have been heard above the roar.
It was a great irony that Jeep's heart was blamed for his death—something was wrong with Jeep Jackson's heart? You sure wouldn't have guessed that from watching him play. You would have figured Jeep was going to live forever.

While the Nissan Leaf is the top selling electric car worldwide, Nissan is hoping to strengthen that lead by spurring more sales with an incentive that offers new buyers two years of free public charging. While the deal is enticing, the overall value is not very great, partially because electricity rates are relatively low compared to gasoline, and because the program has limits.
"It limits Level 2 charging, which is the most common type, to an hour of free energy per use, which is about 75 cents worth at the current national average for electricity," says John O'Dell, senior analyst at Edmunds.com. "The greater value is in the rapid charging, where the 30 minutes of free power being offered in the program can be worth up to $10."
New Nissan Leaf buyers in the "No Charge to Charge" program get free access to charging at over 2,600 public stations and more than 200 quick chargers in 10 cities: San Francisco, Sacramento, California; San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Oregon; Nashville, Tennessee; Phoenix, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston and Washington, D.C.
Nissan said it has plans to expand the program to at least 15 additional U.S. markets within the next year.
While the program may not have a huge monetary value, O'Dell says that it's a good example of the way manufacturers are providing incentives to increase consumers' comfort levels about driving electric cars.
"It really gives prospective new Leaf owners more confidence they can find charging stations," he says.

GWEN IFILL: Finally tonight, Washington's Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts will bestow its Kennedy Center Honors on five of the nation's leading artists this coming weekend.
Jeffrey Brown recently had a chance to sit down with one of them.
JEFFREY BROWN: He's known as the Saxophone Colossus, a name that dates to a 1956 recording Sonny Rollins made when he was 26 and a title he continues to hold as one of the all-time greats of jazz.
At 81, Rollins is a living link to giants like Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane and Miles Davis, all of whom he knew and played with, and to the Harlem neighborhood where he grew up, where jazz was everywhere.
SONNY ROLLINS, musician: So there's music all over. When I went to public school, we used to pass by the famous Cotton Club. You used to — you remember the Cotton Club.
JEFFREY BROWN: Sure, of course.
SONNY ROLLINS: And we walked by it going to school. So, I was just immersed in it from the beginning, really.
JEFFREY BROWN: It was everywhere, but you're essentially self-taught, right?
SONNY ROLLINS: I consider myself a primitive because…
JEFFREY BROWN: What does that mean?
SONNY ROLLINS: I have had to explain that a lot.
It means sort of that when I got — when my mother brought me the secondhand alto saxophone, I went into the bedroom, you know, and I just started playing. I didn't know what I was doing, but I was in a zone. I was already doing something.
JEFFREY BROWN: In fact, Rollins was a sensation even as a teenager. He performed and recorded with leading players of the day. His first album as a band leader came in 1951, and many more followed.
SONNY ROLLINS: Playing with those great people like Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis and all those giants, I wasn't afraid, because I felt that I belonged there.
JEFFREY BROWN: You felt you belonged with them?
SONNY ROLLINS: Yes. But I was still in awe of them. And it was — I mean, I didn't feel I was equal to them. I'm not saying that. But I felt that — especially they accepted me. But I felt that I was where I was supposed to be at. So it was quite a wonderful experience in a way.
JEFFREY BROWN: One of the things that people have long admired you for is the ability to — I always hear this phrase find fresh musical ideas. What does that mean? What does — how do you define a musical idea in jazz?
SONNY ROLLINS: Wow.
Well, jazz, as you know, is an endless source of ideas, because you can use anything. You can play operatic arias. You can incorporate them into jazz. You can play gypsy music and incorporate it into jazz. You can European classical and you can incorporate it into jazz. You can use anything and jazz it up, as they used to say.
JEFFREY BROWN: Show tunes and…
SONNY ROLLINS: Show tunes.
JEFFREY BROWN: Yes.
SONNY ROLLINS: I know all these show tunes.
And it's great because they're still there. And I just — they come out at strange times. And…
JEFFREY BROWN: Where does the improvisation come in?
SONNY ROLLINS: Well, Jeffrey, improvisation is something which is highly misunderstood these days.
Improvisation — I think my friend Branford Marsalis, saxophonist, he explained it very good. Improvisation is really not so much remembering things. And this is what I do when I play. I forget things. When I go on the stage, I want my mind to be a blank, so that I can — things can come into me without my knowing where they came from.
JEFFREY BROWN: So are you surprised by what comes out?
SONNY ROLLINS: Sometimes, I'm surprised by what comes out, yes.
JEFFREY BROWN: At several key points in his career, Rollins simply stopped performing and recording. Most famously, he spent one of what he called his sabbaticals practicing on the Williamsburg Bridge in New York. He later released an album titled "The Bridge."
SONNY ROLLINS: I went away because I was getting too much acclaim. And…
JEFFREY BROWN: You were getting too much attention?
SONNY ROLLINS: Too much attention.
JEFFREY BROWN: And you didn't like that?
SONNY ROLLINS: Well, no, I liked it, to a point.
But, you know, Jeffrey, I think the biggest thing that — in my life that I can be proud of, my epitaph is that I knew inside how I was doing, whether I was playing great or whether I wasn't playing great. And I shut out the people that were telling me, oh, Sonny, don't go away. You will lose your audience.
And so, I said, no, I want to practice. I want to get better.
JEFFREY BROWN: But here you are still at it, right? Why? Surely you don't need to be out on the road performing.
SONNY ROLLINS: It's hard being out on the road. But jazz is kicked around. It's down. And it's getting a little bit of appreciation. It's getting a little bit of respect.
So I feel that I have an obligation to jazz and also to myself to play as good as I can play. I haven't reached that point yet.
JEFFREY BROWN: You really feel that you haven't reached your — you're not satisfied with your…
SONNY ROLLINS: Oh, no, no, no, I'm far from satisfied. I'm far from satisfied. That's why I'm still practicing.
JEFFREY BROWN: These days, Rollins performs about two dozen times a year. His last two albums, titled "Road Shows" volumes one and two, were recorded at concerts from around the world.
And now he's being honored as one of this nation's foremost artists, joining other jazz greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie and Dave Brubeck.
We started talking that you're a — of your childhood in Harlem. You're one of the last ones left from that great time, right?
SONNY ROLLINS: Well…
JEFFREY BROWN: You must be aware of that. Does it weigh on you?
SONNY ROLLINS: Well, it does. All my friends are gone, Miles, Coltrane, Monk. I mean, in a sense, they're gone, but not really.
I'm the last guy. But, in a way, I'm not, because, when I'm gone, the music — my music is going to be here. So we're all still here. We're all still here.
JEFFREY BROWN: Still here, still practicing, and still performing.

The singer resumes the tale
Edited by Mary Louise Lord after the author's death, The Singer Resumes the Tale focuses on the performance of stories and poems within settings that range from ancient Greek palaces to Latvian villages. Lord expounds and develops his approach to oral literature in this book, responds systematically for the first time to criticisms of oral theory, and extends his methods to the analysis of lyric poems. He also considers the implications of the transitional text - a work made up of both oral and literary components. Elements of the oral tradition - the practice of storytelling in prose or verse, the art of composing and transmitting songs, the content of these texts, the kinds of songs composed, and the poetics of oral literature - are discussed in the light of several traditions, beginning in the ancient world, through the Middle Ages, to the present. Throughout, the central figure is always the singer. Homer, the Beowulf poet, women who perform lyric songs, tellers of folktales, singers of such ballads as "Barbara Allen," bards of the Balkans: all play prominent roles in Lord's book, as they have played central roles in the creation of this fundamental literature.

Severe Thunderstorm Warning issued for Horry County
Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:32:33 GMT —
A storm ripped through the Myrtle Beach area Tuesday afternoon, downing trees and causing some power outages and flooding.
Horry County was under a severe thunderstorm warning until about 1:30 Tuesday afternoon for a storm that the National Weather Service said was capable of producing winds over 60 miles per hour and one-inch diameter hail.
Chief Meterologist Ed Piotrowski said he saw a wind gust of 63 miles per hour recorded in the Carolina Forest area.
A few traffic lights have been reported out, including one at the corner of Carolina Forest Boulevard and Highway 501 that was knocked to the ground.
The South Carolina Highway Patrol and South Carolina Department of Transportation are directing traffic in the area until it is repaired.
A large tree was also downed by the storm in the Socastee area, falling on top of a car. The extent of the damage to the car is not clear.
At one time almost 1,000 people were without power according to Santee Cooper's outage website.
Over 850 people in the area between Highway 707, Highway 544 and U.S. 17 Bypass were without power for about an hour Tuesday afternoon.
About 163 people were also without power in the area south of the Myrtle Beach State Park, between U.S. 17 Business and South Ocean Boulevard.
Horry Electric Co-Op also reported that about 100 people were without power in the area off of Highway 90 west and Lee's Landing Circle.
A small amount of water made its way into the Myrtle Beach International Airport from a leak in a sliding door near one of the terminals, according to Assistant Director of Airports Kirk Lovell.
Piotrowski says more storms are developing across the Pee Dee and Grand Strand, and strong to severe storms will still be possible through the afternoon and evening.
Stay tuned to Newschannel 15 for the latest severe weather updates.

Hangovers: The number one festive illness
A major preventable illness will affect 75% of people who drink to excess over the Christmas period.
Characterised by headache, nausea, dizziness, irritability, thirst and fatigue - and in some cases, tension, paleness, tremors, vomiting, heartburn, unsteady gait and loss of appetite - it is something most people will experience during the festive season - a hangover.
While everyone knows how to get one, few will agree on what cures them. The only thing doctors agree on is that if you want to avoid a hangover, drink only in moderation or not at all.
However, hangovers will vary depending on the individual and the form in which the alcohol is consumed.
The cause of a hangover
Hangovers are thought to be caused by an excess of toxins in the blood system. The body cannot process and get rid of them as quickly as required.
Dr James Schaefer is a research professor at the department of anthropology at Union College in Schenectady, New York.
He is also a specialist in the use of alcohol, and has conducted trials comparing different types of hangover cure.
He says a hangover manifests itself in physical and psychological reactions that are normally associated with an overdose.
However, the exact source of the toxins responsible is uncertain.
"The toxins may be produced within the human system, may be introduced from outside, or a combination," he says.
"Ethanol itself, and the by-products of alcohol metabolism (breakdown process) by the liver, especially acetaldehyde, which is thought to be highly toxic, are typical culprits.
"Our bodies produce enzymes to attack these agents but they only work at set rates, thus the accumulation - the excess - we have the next day makes us feel ill."
"Alcoholic beverages themselves have toxins, the by-products of fermentation and distillation, called congeners."
Some drinks have more congeners than others. Cheap spirits, and especially cheap whisky, and cheap champagne are among the worst culprits.
The drinks with the lowest number of congeners are the more expensive spirits that have been distilled three or four times, and in particular gin and vodka.
Red wine can also cause a headache because it contains tyramine, a substance that can cause severe headaches.
Variations in individuals
The symptoms of a hangover are exacerbated by dehydration. This occurs because alcohol acts as a diuretic, which means it makes you urinate more than you consume.
As a result, anyone who drinks a lot of alcohol may lose more fluid than they consume, even if they are drinking steadily.
While 75% of those who drink to excess can expect a hangover, the other 25% of the population will not suffer, Dr Schaefer estimates.
He says: "Upwards of 50% of all people from the Far East, for example, show a facial - and sometimes a full body - flush.
"This is caused by an excess of capillary blood to the surface due to alcohol's dilatory effect to the veins - they get warm, sweat, have high heart rate and feel ill."
This can be caused by just a few drinks and happens because they have a low metabolism rate for acetaldehyde, he says.
Doctors also advise people of smaller build to drink less, as it takes their body longer to process the alcohol.
Is there a cure?
Once a hangover has kicked in, time is the only cure. There are, however, ways to alleviate the symptoms.
Most doctors advise:
Ibuprofen may help more if the first dose is taken before going to sleep, although it may increase the risk of liver damage when taken with excessive alcohol.
Dr Schaefer says many remedies have been tried. As a cure proves so elusive, most have focussed on prevention.
While some have some medical backing, such as drinking water before going to bed, taking vitamins and taking painkillers before going to bed, others are more bizarre.
These include eating lard or butter before drinking to "grease the gut" and never starting or never stopping drinking.
Absorption rates
Other methods involve slowing down the rate at which the body absorbs alcohol, so that it can process it at a steady rate without a build up of excess toxins.
One way of doing this is to avoid highly carbonated drinks such as champagne.
Eating foods high in protein - like fish, nuts and beans - before drinking is also thought to slow down the alcohol absorption rate.
Pills are available over the Internet that claim to be able to prevent a hangover if taken regularly during a drinking session.
They mimic the emergency treatment for alcohol overdoses, where the stomach is filled with a charcoal slurry and then pumped out.
The pills, patented as Sobr'K, act as a "super absorbent in the gut, grabbing ethanol-haemoglobin compounds, congeners and related garbage", Dr Schaeffer says.
These are then carried out of the body.
The best way to avoid a hangover is probably self-control, however, and if you get too many of them you should ask yourself why, he adds.
"A hangover is always a sign that a person has consumed too much alcohol and should be used as a warning to examine reasons why alcohol consumption at those levels is needed in their lifestyle.
"Perhaps cutting back or not drinking are worthy alternatives."

Media mayhem
This episode with Beef Products Inc. (BPI) is a real tragedy. Last week, BPI shut down three of their four plants and temporarily laid of 650 people at those plants. It's amazing that an elite segment of the general media was willing to throw them under the bus, espe- CROW.

Ikea is the latest company to tumble down the dark pit of international bad publicity when it was revealed recently that horse meat was found as an ingredient in their delicious meatballs. Horse meat: Yick. Am I right? Right?
Why, exactly, is it so disgusting, the thought of eating horse? We eat just about everything else that moves around on land. Look at cows, they're like fat, slow horses and we eat them with no troubles. Why you've probably eaten a cheeseburger in front of a cow before and thought not the least of it. We eat pigs, they're like pink, stocky horses kind of. Why shouldn't we feel bad about eating them?
Vegans and vegetarians stifling screams with your hands raised in the front row, I hear you and see you. I'm not really speaking to you about this as you don't eat any animal. But you meat eaters, why is it so bad to eat horse when we eat so many other animals horses share the barn yard with? Is the answer really so basic -- that it's because we ride horses? That's pretty much all that separates them and the many other animals with faces that we still eat with no problems.
Here in the U.S., horses hold a special place in our hearts, but it is a hypocritical one. It is legal to slaughter horses for their meat here, and even during the recent period when it wasn't legal to slaughter horses here in the U.S., it was still technically legal to operate a horse slaughterhouse, Congress simply withheld the funding for the USDA inspection of horse slaughterhouses. Without inspection of your meat, you couldn't send the finished product out the door and so it was illegal by proxy to slaughter horses for meat here. During that period the bubble created around the thoroughbred horse industry burst and a lot of unwanted horses were sent to slaughter, just not here. They were sent to Canada. Now the funding is back again for the slaughterhouses here in the U.S.
Here we will slaughter horses, but we just won't eat them. Instead, we just sell the meat to other countries that eat horse: Japan, where thinly-sliced raw horse is served as a sushi called basahi; France, where viande le cheval is often prepared as a steak; China, where it's dried into a jerky; Belgium, where it's a part of the national diet, etc., etc.
What's interesting is that a lot of the countries that are expressing outrage at the horse meat scandal that is spreading across Europe eat horse meat as a matter of course. What is at issue here, and this I understand the most, is that the food manufacturers didn't say there was horse meat in the food they were selling. And duping your customers, especially when you're selling them food, that's a global taboo.

I had a Chin implant a month ago and still have the stitches. They hurt especially when I eat I feel like something is pushing in my incision site and the numbness on the inside of my lower lip. I went to my surgeon and he said everything was good and not to try to find wrong things when there isn't; but I dont feel normal. What can I do? Please help.
Painful Stitches After Chin Implant Normal?
Doctor Answers 2
After chin implants tenderness and pain in incision may occur
It depends on the type of stitches that are used but it may take well over 3 months for the stitches to completely absorb. During this time they can cause inflammation and irritation. Continue to follow up with your surgeon so that he/she can perform regular examinations.
You are doing the correct thing
Keep in contact with your treating doctor. To really answer your question, a doctor would need to see you. It maybe worth the money to give you peace of mind.
In general, it can take 3-6 months to heal from chin implant surgery. It is not uncommon to have the incision line, AKA sutures, still felt at one month assuming the incisions were inside your mouth. It can also be normal to have numbness at one month. The "pushing" sensation maybe just the tension on your incision line. So seeing another doctor in your area maybe the right thing to do.

I use this sunscreen all the time in the summer. I use this underneath my Austrailian Gold (for added protection from the sun). I love the amazingly high spf, & this does protect me from the sun. Yes, it's greasy. This is sunscreen we're talking about. What sunscreen isn't? People have such high demands for what they expect from a sunscreen. Some of these "wants" are ridiculous. People are commenting on the smell, the greasiness, & how it looks on your skin. This isn't a perfume or a scented body lotion, this is a sunscreen. Who cares what it looks like & if it smells like strawberries? Please tell me what sunscreen isn't white & greasy, because I'd love to know. I don't care if it's greasy, it's supposed to be...as long as it works for protecting my skin I'm good. This is also sweat proof, & stays on in the pool & lasts a long time. I only have to reapply this a few times if I'm in the sun all day. This is one of the best sunscreens I've ever used, no complaints & no sunburns. I love this & I will buy again when it's summer.

One thing I've discovered while practicing aromatherapy – is that essential oils of lavender and grapefruit, when mixed together, smell like bubblegum.
Well, to me anyways lol
This floral citrus combination is definitely a win-win for freshening up the house and keeping spirits bright & chipper.
Step one is to cut your grapefruits, juice and drink.
Take the peels, put them in a pot of water, add dried lavender flowers if you have them and a few drops of essential oil lavender for a floral kick!
Simmer on low for as long as you like, Adding more water if needed.
Want to make this stovetop potpourri simmer even more awesomely delicious?
Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract!!
