1 million ... 1 million and 1 ... 1 million and 2 – Wake's population just keeps growing
Anderson Grace Hughes was the youngest of a million, for about 14 minutes after she arrived at WakeMed on Friday. Then the title passed to the newborn son of Shobha Sridhar and Sridhar Narasimhan, just across town at Rex Hospital.
The infants were thrust into the media spotlight soon after their births, publicized by competing hospitals as the kids who pushed Wake County to 1 million residents.
Even while the grandparents of Anderson Hughes waited to see her after her 11:36 a.m. birth, texts and emails piled in from long-lost friends and total strangers.
It's impossible to say whether any of Friday's births – or say, an adult moving into the county – made Wake hit the million mark. But it's hard to argue with a cute baby.
Anderson is the daughter of a physical therapist and a manager for Biogen Idec – representing two of the region's largest labor sectors. She'll join two older siblings in Holly Springs. "We thought we were just having a baby today," said Jamie Hughes, the child's father.
The parents gave their first interview only two hours past Anderson's birth – a perfect opportunity for a proud dad to spread the word and a slightly tired mother to come along for the ride. "I'm not much for attention," Whitney Hughes said, smiling warmly with her swaddled, red-faced little girl.
"I hid her cellphone from her, so she wouldn't see all the texts," her husband said.
It was a quieter scene at Rex. Only the parents and their young daughter were at the hospital for the birth of a son, who hasn't been named yet. Shobha Sridhar and Sridhar Narasimhan just moved to Raleigh in May from Bangalore, India.
"It's a big day," the father said, a crying baby drawing him away from the phone. "Everyone is excited."
They've come for his job in asset management, and they're ready for the long haul. The Wake Tech Foundation has offered both children scholarships to Wake Technical Community College.
Run the numbers
So, what put these couples in the spotlight? A bit of arithmetic.
The county contracted with the Carolina Population Center at UNC to work up some population statistics this summer, and the million-mark estimation was part of the package.
To estimate the date, demographer Becky Tippett compared the 2010 census population figure for Wake – obtained by actually counting people – with the 2013 population estimate for the county, which the federal government extrapolates using various data about who's coming and going, being born and dying.
Figuring out the average estimated growth per day can yield a pretty narrow estimate – noon on a Friday – but it's not particularly accurate.
"Migration's really bumpy," Tippett said. The million mark "probably happened last week, when all the N.C. State students moved in."
In fact, Wake sees more new arrivals by moving truck than birth on a given day.
Births in Raleigh make up only about 18 percent of the county's population growth on an average day. The county sees an estimated net increase of 40 people per day.
Demographic trends
The county's new data can break down those migration patterns in detail, and a new report is scheduled to do just that. While big, round numbers make a great publicity moment, demographic trends can, for example, guide the deployment of new government services.
"What it does for them is put more concrete numbers onto the data – not just how many people they're gaining, but how many people are moving in and out," Tippett said.
"You're having a lot more people needing to interact with government and institutions, needing to do business in Wake County."
Mecklenburg County beat Wake to a million by nearly a year, according to one estimate. Wake has the second-highest population among North Carolina counties – third place goes to Guilford County, which has only just cleared 500,000.
A fact of life
Dr. Joel Bernstien and nurse Alicia Shaddix, who delivered Anderson, might be part of eight deliveries in a typical day, a contributor to Wake's growth that shows no signs of slowing, either.
Growth has been constant for decades, and the million mark served as a reminder of jammed highways and new subdivisions covering open spaces.
All the same, the congratulations were still coming late into the afternoon Friday.
These kids are, after all, ones in a million.

BWW Reviews: LAUGH at Studio Theatre
by Pamela Roberts - Mar 19, 2015
Laugh, making its world premiere at Studio Theatre, is the latest from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Beth Henley. With its designations of "slapstick" and as an homage to silent movies we expect movement and pace to be at the forefront, yet Laugh is far more rooted in language. But why box Laugh into a genre? There is little else like it. It is with her heightened language and quirkiness that playwright Beth Henley is at her best. Though flawed and in need of a trim from its current 2:15 running time, the comedy has some fine moments particularly in the final scenes that highlight Henley's unique style and unexpected choices.

anyone order from amerock.com/knobs 4 less?
Has anyone ordered online from amerock.com/knobs 4 less?
Found what we like from Amerock . We have been all over the place with black, satin nickel and back again. After painting our old floor to ceiling built in pantry and putting the old latch hardware back on. We liked how the dark looked against the Behr silky white. For the rest of the galley/ L shape kitchen I wanted to use pulls horizontally on doors and drawers as seen on here by a fellow GWer. Sorry I don't remember who.
DH finally looked with me and really liked how the black bronze looked similar to our latch type hardware in color .Unfortunately the ones we chose don't have longer pulls over 6 inch except in appliance pulls, not going there. so the look I wanted will not be.
After searching the internet I found the best price from Amerock/knobs 4less. And knew my fellow GWers would know if customer service, quality etc. is top notch. Has anyone bought from them and any information is greatly appreciated.
Yep ... I did for our master bedroom built-ins (a couple years ago). No problems at all and in fact knobs4less is usually the first place I look for hardware now.
Thanks sailor girl and breezy.
Yes, breezy I believe it was you. I still plan on doing all pulls horizontal just not a single one on drawers like I wanted.-sad face.
I found glass look knobs on clearance today which will work on my very upper glass cabinets. They will be only used for decorative items so seldom opened.
I'm off tomorrow so IF not painting prepping 57 doors. I will figure out which sizes I need and order.
Yes, I ordered 90% of my kitchen hardware from Knobs4Less. Wonderful service and great pricing...would use them again in a heartbeat. We were "off count" by one handle and they shipped an extra, free of charge, if I recall.
Don't hesitate at all....
Thanks ladies! I feel very comfortable placing an order. The nephew who built our cabinets gave me a hardware book. He may be able to get a bit of discount through his boss contractor license, but doubtful as good deal as from knobs 4 less will know soon. He comes to install bases , uppers minus the doors of course tomorrow.
The kitchen is 99% DYI total kitchen gut job. We ARE crazy painting our cabinets ourselves. I had contacted an auto body shop we have done business with and a co owner is a HS friend of our daughters. But the unusual icy winter weather this year in MN up to the recent snow storms they have had an unusual amount of body work along with the nephew was concerned about the fixes of the usual dings etc. of finishes when installing. Even though the DH has not voiced it I think he know wishes otherwise.
We have hired a bit of the electrical done this old house has knob and tube could not tell which was hot! and needed an upgrade to 200. Install and mudding of drywall, granite and backsplash and cabinets the rest has been/will be on us.
Demo, insulating, painting walls, rest of electrical,- outlets, plugmold, stripping, re staining and poly floor, ceiling which will have tin ceiling tiles, painting cabinets bases, uppers ,18 drawers, and the doors, plumbing, gas line,
I am getting more kitchen than I would have otherwise!
I have been taking photos not always when I should have and the lay out makes it difficult at times. Someday I will try and do a reveal just not too soon.
I also ordered from them with no problem. Customer service was excellent, I even did the online chat thing with them late on a Sunday night and they were available. One thing to keep in mind is that shipping is very slow and it took about two weeks to get my order. I didn't do the direct knobs for less website but their other/sister site amerockforless or whatever it was which was a little cheaper.

Jdockery's curator insight, August 6, 2013 10:52 AM
I love the way the designer finds inspiration in photographs.
Mary Starry's curator insight, October 23, 2013 10:29 PM
Several tools on this list that I routinely use, such as Evernote, Dropbox and Jing. Jing is a great little tool that I use so often I forget other people may not be aware of it. Jing makes it so easy to quickly snap a photo of anything on your screen and then share in a document or slide. Plus it's free!

BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi left the large gathering of BJP and TDP cadres spellbound with his interactive speech during the election public meeting at the sprawling Ambedkar Stadium grounds here on Tuesday.
It was the same ground where AICC president Sonia Gandhi had addressed a meeting on Thursday last after the bifurcation Bill was passed in Parliament in February. She had come to fulfil her promise made to the people of the region on conceding Telangana.
Loud cheers
Running behind schedule, Mr. Modi spoke for about 15 minutes but that was enough to electrify the spirit and morale of the audience. People were receptive to his queries and cheered him lustily through the meeting. When he asked who would provide best governance and develop the new State of Telangana, the spontaneous answer from the huge gathering was 'Modi, Modi'.
When he asked whether the people of Telangana would still vote for Congress, which had claimed over 1,200 youths' lives for the cause of the separate state, there was a loud 'no' from the audience.
Tries to strike chord with people
Trying to strike a chord with the people of Telangana, he said there were around three lakh people from the region working in Surat in Gujarat. "I treat them as my own younger brothers and family members. I know how to treat you all and strive for development of separate Telangana State," he said amid thunderous applause. Exuding confidence that the BJP would attain power at the Centre, he called upon the people of Telangana to elect BJP and TDP MPs from the region and get power from the Centre to the State for its development.
BJP Karimnagar MP nominee Ch Vidyasagar Rao promised metro railway line from Karimnagar to Hyderabad and launch of navigation facilities on river Godavari waters from SRSP to the sea.

10 Item(s)
2013 Riverstone Chardonnay, J. Lohr(6x75cl)
A very youthful straw yellow color. The aromas are of ripe bosc pear, fuji apple, lime and honeysuckle combined with the perfumed vanilla and a toasty oak bouquet. The flavors are very clean with ripe pear, subtle floral notes and vanilla toastiness, producing layers of complexity with an excellent balance of fresh fruit acidity and palate-weight.
2013 Pinot Gris, Omero(12x75cl)
Bright and racy with a rich mouthfeel, spices and stone fruit.
2013 Sauvignon Blanc, Long Meadow Ranch(12x75cl)
The nose and palate offer enticing fruit (kiwi, pineapple, honeydew melon, white mulberry), floral esters, and varietally true minerality. The entry is soft and pleasing while at the same time exceedingly clean and sufficiently crisp. The progression presents late impressions of Meyer lemon zest, sea spray, and fresh-cut pippin apples. The finish lingers with persistent softness, nectar texture, and surprising apricot fruit sweetness. The wine is classically dry, perfectly ripe, and refreshing. Enjoy while young
2013 Chardonnay, Bogle Vineyards(12x75cl)
Classic Clarksburg personality shines through in the green apple and pear notes, while a bit more tropical pineapple breezes by. The rich mouthfeel created by aging on the lees abounds mid-palate, while the finish is wrapped in creamy textures and tones from the malolactic fermentation. Spicy American oak notes of butterscotch and vanilla are the perfect balance to the freshness and acidity of this multifaceted wine.
2013 Ariel Chardonnay, J. Lohr(12x75cl)
Ariel Chardonnay has a distinctive combination of buttery apple and butterscotch characteristics combined with a toasty French oak bouquet and should continue to develop complexity as it ages.
2013 Chardonnay, Cannonball(12x75cl)
Sophisticated nose of lemon curd, peaches, and a hint of pie crust. On the palate, zippy stone fruit and tropical notes, pineapple and soft vanilla bean on the finish.
2012 Chenin Blanc, Bogle Winery(12x75cl)
Clarksburg has long been known as a remarkable place to grow Chenin Blanc. Crisp and refreshing, this wine begins with a surprising touch of fresh anise on the nose. Richer flavours of stone fruits like peaches and apricots balance the mouthfeel, while the soft and supple texture integrates the palate all the way through the honeyed finish.
2012 Chardonnay, Painter Bridge(6x75cl)
Pale yellow in color with attractive aromas of Bosc pear, apple and white flowers, with a touch of vanilla and honey. The aromas are echoed on the silky textured palate, which is cleansed with fresh acidity and richness.
2012 Arroyo Vista Chardonnay, J. Lohr(6x75cl)
The complex and delicate aromas of lime zest, pear, white blossoms, apricot and vanilla are complemented by an almost sweet, oily, creamy yet well balanced texture.
2013 Viognier, Bogle Vineyards(12x75cl)
Appetizing display of luscious aromas with fresh apricot and pear fruit tang on the palate. A third of this wine spent 10 months in brand new American oak, barrel fermented and left on its lees. The rest of the blend was fermented in stainless steel tanks

Dave Checketts sells controlling interest in Real Salt Lake to local businessman Dell Loy Hansen
Brian Nicholson, Deseret News
Real Salt Lake announced Thursday that owner Dave Checketts and his sports company, SCP Worldwide, has sold his controlling interest in Utah's MLS franchise to local businessman and part-owner Dell Loy Hansen.
Hansen is the president of Wasatch Property Management. He purchased an interest in Real Salt Lake in 2009 shortly before the club won its first and only MLS Cup championship. Hansen said he purchased an interest in the club during a time when the club was in a tenuous financial position.
Related: Hansen couldn't resist Real Salt Lake -- and cacciatore
This season, Real Salt Lake has nearly 10 thousand season ticket holders and one of the best local television packages in Major League Soccer.
"I've always referred to Real as the Green Bay Packers of soccer," Hansen said. "Dave (Checketts) and I were aware that his vision [for the club] was ahead of its time."
Since Real won its 2009 championship, it has more consecutive playoff appearances (5) than any other Major League Soccer club.
Hansen praised Checketts for Real Salt Lake's accomplishments during his ownership and gave some credit to Utah's professional sports teams for the economic growth of the State of Utah in his remarks.
"When you take this small market, the little David that could, and you go up and down the West Coast and beat those franchises, that goes in the local paper," Hansen said. "With the governor making Utah the most business-friendly state in America, I guarantee you RSL has a part in that [economic success]. I guarantee you the Jazz have a part in that."
Fans of the club and of Major League Soccer were quick to opine via social media on the change in Real Salt Lake's ownership. Though some expressed concern about the change, reaction seemed to be generally positive and grateful to Checketts and his contribution to the club.

Canucks' Rypien suspended for fan altercation at Wild game
TORONTO (AP) -- Vancouver Canucks enforcer Rick Rypien was suspended indefinitely Wednesday, pending a hearing, for grabbing a fan Tuesday night in a loss in Minnesota.
While headed to locker room after being assessed a double minor for roughing and 10-minute misconduct in the second period, Rypien reached up and shoved James Engquist, a 28-year-old fan applauding at the railing.

Eat Street Food
Do like the locals do and enjoy some good street food, especially the awesome tacos. It is always a gamble to eat street food, but if you go to one that is relatively crowded, that is a good bet. My favorite taco stand was near the Alameda, across the street from the movie theater. They have the best Al Pastor Tacos, generous portions of veggies, and a great staff.
Poverty is present everywhere...
Poverty is present everywhere downtown.
One trick some have is they will peel and slice a mango and deliver it to you on a stick right there on the spot on the corner of the street.
Less annoying than begging and delicious too.
Alot of affection
One thing that I noticed and then my sister also mentioned was that the people here show so much affection to eachother. Couples holding hands hugging and kissing on the street was very common. Alot of touchy feely, not in a disrespectful way, but in a very nice very affectionate manner.
I probably saw more affection here than at any other place I have ever visited. I was staying in the Zona Rosa neighborhood which I later found out was a high homosexual area. Nothing wrong with that But it was the same thing here.
It didnt make us feel uncomfortable rather it made me kinda miss my honey. :)
I guess next time I will have to bring him.
Day of the Dead...Foods
The day of the dead has some special dishes that go along with it. Here is some basic information
Day of the Dead Bread (Pan de muertos) - decorated dough that look like human bones.
calabaza en tacha, cooked squash sweetened with cinnamon and brown sugar
Sugar Skulls
Not the best tasting treat but how fun!!!! Next year I am going to have day of the dead baking day and I'll definitely be making these with friends (think the sugar eggs we make in the US for Easter)
The Recipe
This is a great video on how to make the sugar skulls for the day of the dead celebration...note this is a multi-part series. Basically its sugar, marang
The Judas Burning
The Judas burning is a tradition whose origins can be traced in the colony.
It is believed that this celebration comes from the valencian "Fallas", a festivitie organized in this spanish city in saint Joseph day. The tradition was brought to Mexico by the priests dedicated to evangelize natives.
On holy saturday a cardboard devil (within 3 to 15 meters hight) is hunged in public squares and curchs atriums and burned (according to the tradition to punish Judas for betraying Christ)
In XVII century gobernors figures were burned along the devils, a tradition that has survived despite many attempts to forbid it. While the Judas burns a band plays music and some people dances disguised as demons.
This celebration is dissapearing in Mexico City, though it remains popular in other states of my country and some cultural institutions are trying to recover it. La Merced and Cuajimalpa (where the devil is made of clothes) are the most famous burnings, i`ve also seen it behind the cathedral.
If you go to a burning keep a safe distance with the devil, the figure has some gunpowder so it explodes. accidents are not ussual but is better not to take the risk.
- Festivals
Carry a rucksack. Everyone else does. Wear long trousers and closed in shoes. For some unknown (to me at least) reason, every time I wore sandals/flip flops, everyone (both male and female) openly stared at my toes! Whats up with that?!
As well as Agua, Juices and icecreams, you can find also Paletas de Agua (water) or Crema (cream) made of fruits and other different flavors.
Lemon, Rompope, Frambuesa are some of the famous flavors
Eat at markets!
Honestly the best and definitely the cheapest food in Mexico City I had in local markets. My favourite is the Xochimilco one where I had the best consome and tacos dorados with lamb meat.
Museums are free Sundays

The anthropological Museum of Mexico city is in general regarded as one of the most interesting of the whole word.
Mariachi Music
A trip to Mexico City would not be complete without the sounds of mariachi in the backgorund.
The mariachi band traditionally plays at the end of a wedding celebration.
Tired of painted cows, lizards, and fish?
Then take a walk down Mexico City's grand Reforma blvd, and enjoy the different mod cactus sculptures lining its sidewalks. Very cool stuff.
Every day for a week in September, a parade
of local people climb from the city's
main church to a chapel at the top of a nearby mountain, Cerro de la Bufa, in honor of the
patron saint of the town.

Can Humans Walk on Water?
Comments (0) ::
Type Comment
For centuries, humans have floated the idea that we might, one day, walk on water. In the 15th century, Leonardo da Vinci invented a pair of pontoon-like shoes intended for this purpose, and in 1988, French entertainer Remy Bricka walked across the Atlantic on a pair of floating skis.
Perhaps we were inspired by nature ŌĆō more than 1,200 species of animals can walk on water. The smaller ones, such as insects and spiders, use surface tension, the force that holds water molecules together, to support their weight. These forces are much too weak to support the weight of larger water walkers, such as the basilisk lizard, which generates force to stay afloat by slapping its feet on the water.
But for a human to run across the water like a basilisk lizard, he would have to sprint at about 67 mph (108 kph), nearly as fast as a cheetah, according to a 2006 paper in the Annual Review of Fluid Dynamics. The worldŌĆÖs fastest man, JamaicaŌĆÖs Usain Bolt, averaged about 23.5 mph (37.8 kph) during his world record 100-meter dash at the 2009 World Championships. This feat would take about 15 times more energy than the human body is capable of expending.
But the limits of the human body havenŌĆÖt kept us from dreaming. In the last 40 years, individuals have patented more than 50 water-walking devices.
So although we canŌĆÖt walk on water on our own, we can cheat. These devices work in two ways ŌĆō they either increase buoyancy, or they use a force called dynamic lift, according to John Bush, an applied mathematician at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Most of the patented devices are designed to increase buoyancy, and are a take on da VinciŌĆÖs classic, pontoon-ski design. Some have modifications such as bungee cords to keep the water walkerŌĆÖs legs from splitting apart, or hinged rudders for steering and stability. Most patented water-walking devices use a light buoyant material, such as Styrofoam or wood.
Dynamic lift, on the other hand, requires an outside force acting on the human body. A force is needed to pull the body in a direction parallel to the waterŌĆÖs surface, explained Bush.
This principle, which also describes the forces acting on an airplaneŌĆÖs wing, can be seen when a motorboat pulls a person along the water's surface ŌĆō think of barefoot water skiing. If the feet are angled properly, water flowing past the body will effectively exert an upward force that elevates the barefooter out of the water.
