'I turned producer to tell stories which few people dare to say'
National Award-winning actor Irrfan Khan turns producer with The Lunchbox, directed by debutant Ritesh Batra. The film premiered to rave reviews in Critics' Week, a festival sidebar for first and second films of directors. Anupama Chopra chats him up.bollywood Updated: May 26, 2013 00:16 IST
National Award-winning actor Irrfan Khan turns producer with The Lunchbox, directed by debutant Ritesh Batra. The film premiered to rave reviews in Critics' Week, a festival sidebar for first and second films of directors.
What is it about The Lunchbox that convinced you to turn producer with the film?
Many stories remain untold in our country because there is no one demanding them. I turned producer to tell such stories, to look for stories, which few people dare to say and what could have been a better beginning than The Lunchbox, the most delicious story of the year
How did you prepare to play the character of an almost-retired widower who conducts an elaborate romance via his lunchbox?
The love story in the film did the trick for me. I hated the process of aging — the task of creating wrinkles etc. But the joy of experiencing the emotion of love helped me sail through.
You had once said that Hollywood offers you nuanced and layered characters to play but Bollywood doesn't as much. Is that changing? Do you see more scope for fleshed out characters in Hindi films now?
I'm very hopeful of the younger generation, let's keep our fingers crossed.
The critics in Cannes gave the film a thumbs up. Do you think that will give it a step-up in terms of Indian distribution or are films like these still a tough sell in India?
I was touched and stumped to see the 15 minutes of standing ovation in Cannes after the film, which says it all. This is not a dry intellectual film. These kinds of films will always work universally for the emotional appeal — a story simply told with potent said and unsaid emotions. Speaking of our domestic audience, they are ripe for an emotional ride. They are ready to recognise the power of silences and they have started relishing a different taste on their platter, which has acted as an appetiser. The Indian audience is hungry for a delicious meal now and their hunger is growing for good stories, good cinema.
Now that you've turned producer, is direction also a possibility?
No, direction has not become a compulsion for me as yet. There is lots to be explored in acting. If I can get beautiful stories, I feel it's my beginning as an actor.

British Columbia Death Registrations (FamilySearch Historical Records)

Record Description
The registration of deaths began in 1872. This collection contains death registrations, 1872-1986; First Nations death registrations, 1917-1956 (with delayed First Nations death registrations, 1916-1950); and overseas casualties, 1940-1945.
The death registrations are recorded on individual, printed forms. They consist of completed statements regarding deaths in British Columbia submitted to district registrars and registered by the registrar or director of Vital Statistics. Each death registration should include a supporting record called "Medical Certificate of Death," which states the cause of death as determined by a physician or coroner, but this statement was not regularly included until 1896 and not with every registration until 1912.
Depending on the time period, the medical certificate may be a separate form or printed on the same form as the death registration. Death certificates contain information from the original registration records and are only available through the British Columbia Vital Statistics Agency.
A stillbirth may have been registered as either a birth, death, or both. The First Nations death registrations, begun in 1917, had special forms created in 1943 but which were discontinued in 1956.
British Columbia became a province of Canada in July 1871, and registration of vital events began in 1872. The only persons excluded from the Births, Deaths, and Marriages Act of 1872 were Chinese and Aboriginals. This was changed by an amendment in 1897, stating the registration would apply to all races. However, the Act was amended in 1899 to once again exclude First Nations from provincial registration until another amendment was passed in 1916, which authorized registration of First Nations to begin again in 1917 with information submitted monthly.
From 1917 to 1956, the First Nations death registrations were recorded in separate volumes. After 1956, the registrations were recorded with the main series. Beginning in 1872, official government registration of deaths applied to the whole province of British Columbia except for the Chinese (until 1897) and First Nations (until 1917).
Early records are very incomplete, chiefly due to the fact that a majority of the population lived great distances from the registry offices and communication was difficult. The "Overseas Casualties, 1940-1945" series contains 3,423 deaths of British Columbians who died overseas during World War II.
Registration of deaths began in order to keep a written record of the population for use by the government.
Provincial vital registrations are considered a reliable source in family history research because they contain a record of an event usually registered very near the time the event occurred. The reliability, of course, depends on the accuracy of the informant.
Record Content
Records may contain the following facts:
- Name, age, and gender of deceased
- Date and place of death
- Date and place of birth
- Cause of death
- Marital status
- Parents' names
- Name of spouse
- Name of physician
- Registration district name or number
- Date and number of registration
- Religious affiliation
How to Use the Records
To begin your search, it would be helpful if you knew the following information:
- Name of ancestor
- Approximate year and place of birth
Search the Collection
Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the ancestors in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to look at several images and compare the information about the individuals listed in those images to your ancestors to make this determination.
Currently the browse images contain overseas casualties, often World War II deaths.
To search the collection image by image, select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page
⇒Select the appropriate "Film Number (Digital Folder Number"
Search the collection by image comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine if the image relates to them. You may need to look at several images and compare the information about the individuals listed in those images to your ancestors to make this determination.
As you are searching it is helpful to know such information as your ancestor's given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence and age, and family relationships. Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as your ancestor and that your ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times.
Using the Information
When you have found the information that you are looking for, the following will aid you in your research:
- If your ancestor was married, search for a marriage record in the British Columbia, Marriage Registrations, 1859-1932 collection, with the name of the spouse in the death record.
- Use the date and place of birth to search for a birth record in the British Columbia, Birth Registrations, 1854-1903 collection.
Unable to Find Your Ancestor?
- Your ancestor might have lived in a different place at the time.
- The clergyman may have recorded the birth, marriage, or death in a different district. In early years, clergymen traveled over a wide territory, often more than one district or county. Look for your ancestor's records in registers for nearby districts or counties.
- Your ancestor may have used a nickname, or used a different surname, or the registrar spelled the name wrong.
For more information on where to look next, check the Canada Vital Records article.
General Information About These Records
FamilySearch indexers did not identify death certificate numbers. In order to track down the death certificates in the Family History Library microfilm collection, which are referenced in this online database, compare Ancestry.com's British Columbia Death Index: 1872 to 1979 ($).
When Ancestry.com independently indexed these records, they indexed certificate numbers (which FamilySearch omitted). Thus, it is necessary to refer to Ancestry.com's subscription index, in addition to FamilySearch's index, in order to find death certificates in the Family History Library's microfilms.
Death registrations are the best source of death information in British Columbia beginning in 1872.

Verizon's new, blazing-fast Internet plan is here — and, as expected, it is as expensive as it is quick. The Quantum FiOS plan, which offers users up to 300 megabits per second downloads, and 65Mpbs uploads taxes users a thunderous $210 per month, or $205 with a two-year contract.
According to Verizon, a Quantum subscription could allow a users to download a 2-hour (5GB) high-definition movie in just 2.2 minutes, run 14 Internet-connected devices simultaneously, or download 10 songs in just 1.4 seconds. Verizon's budget offering (15Mbps down/5Mbps up) allows the same 2-hour movie to download at a sloth-like pace, taking as much as "44.4 minutes" for the file to complete its transfer from the Web to your computer.
To put Quantum's staggering swiftness in perspective, the average U.S. Internet subscriber only has a 5.8Mbps connection, according to Akamai Technologies. That's nearly 52 times slower than the 300Mbps connection Verizon now offers. In other words: Quantum is, at the moment, total overkill.
For its part, Verizon clearly states that the "ultimate" Quantum plan is serious overkill for many users. Instead, it only recommends the high-priced service for households with "multiple hardcore Internet users." In its initial announcement, Verizon further clarified that only residences with five or more heavy Internet users would take full advantage of the super-fast Web access.
Of course, Verizon also offers an array of slower, less-expensive FiOS plans, the download speeds of which range from 15Mbps up to 150Mbps. In fact, the 150Mbps plan seems to us the best deal if you're looking to stay in the realm of "super-fast." At that speed, you will still have faster Internet access than nearly everyone in America, and you still get the 65Mbps upload speeds offered in the Quantum plan — but it "only" costs $100, which is far more manageable.
That said, some U.S. residents don't have access to Verizon FiOS at all, so the whole thing is rendered moot until the company can expand its offerings to other parts of the country. To see if you are one of the lucky few with access to a Quantum plan, click here, scroll half-way down the page, and click the "check availability" on the right-hand side of the screen.

The Upcoming Ferrari 458 Aperta 2015- Ready To Rock Our World
Sometimes you don't need to take a look at a special creation to know it is special. Some times, only some times, the name does the trick. And if the name happens to be Ferrari then could you even imagine expecting anything average by any stretch of imagination! Actually, we can say that saying average and Ferrari in the same breath is almost a blasphemy, one that can shake the motor world and break a heart or two. There is no defining the charisma that comes with the name Ferrari. It is almost accepted all over the world. That is why when we heard that the upcoming Ferrari 458 Aperta was all set to come our way, we couldn't really fathom how deep our joy ran. And could you blame us! All you need to do is flip the pages of history to know how exhilarating almost all Ferrari creations have been! Absolutely nonpareil, spectacular in every sense of the word and don't even get us started on the performance for it has always been a roaring exceptional one.
Coming to the details of the new upcoming Ferrari 458 Aperta, we have heard some absolutely mind-blowing things about this one! It is perhaps and by far the most amazing V8 offering by Ferrari. No one can doubt that. Even those who haven't heard much about this new creation know at least this much that it is going to be unmatched in all aspects. Although, this one too goes with the 458 Italia touch as against the Speciale Coupe, there is so much more that is left to our imagination that we just can't focus on anything else. It has been said that this one has so many stark features that you just can't notice one thing in one go. There will be so much seeking your attention, hogging your sight that you will take a while to soak in all the beauty that this one exudes.
Without even a trace of doubt, the upcoming Ferrari 458 Aperta has stunning bodywork, one that won't leave your mind for days to come. Then everything else will start making sense, one by one. You are sure to give in to the intimidating bumper towards the front, which makes it excessively macho and that too, in just one look. There are other things that will come to your notice only later like the bonnet, the aerodynamic fins which are a great feature and the spoiler, too. This is not all, for there are spanking new dual exhausts that have been fixed instead of the previous exhaust triangle. There is also the new diffuser that graces the rear and is another addition that have been noticed by the motor enthusiasts.
It has the most ferocious aerodynamics, too, further making the list longer than before. There are light seats with trimmed mid section lending a special touch to the interiors. All we can say is that there is a lot more that the upcoming Ferrari 458 Aperta has and it is best we stop here and let the beauty do the talking in the coming year.

Life in Christian County, KY...
All of the voters hereabouts are pretty fired up about the election next Tuesday. Campaign yard-signs are everywhere. A particularly complete set of Republican yard-signs can be seen on the front lawn of the Christian County Republican Party headquarters (above photo.)
Once upon a time not so very long ago, this county was completely Democrat, and most local races were settled in the primaries within a field of Democratic candidates. Within the 15 years that we've lived here, the Republican Party has made huge growth within the county, and in the current election, many races have both Republican and Democratic candidates. That's a good thing -- it encourages us not to get stuck in a rut!
As for Isaac, he gets a day off from school because some schools are used as polling places. Next year, he'll be old enough to vote.
The word "Pennyrile" in this post's heading is a localism. This area of Kentucky is known as the Pennyroyal region because the herb pennyroyal grows here in abundance.
In local dialect, pennyroyal was/is "pennyrile" and both forms of the word are seen and heard throughout the area. We have both the "Pennyrile Rural Electric" and the "Pennyroyal Area Museum" in Hopkinsville, as well as scores of other businesses, etc. that have some form of the p-word in their name.

Hyundai has introduced the all-new 2017 Elantra sedan to the American marketplace. Available in SE and Limited trim levels, the all-new Hyundai sedan features a bold aerodynamic design, a comprehensive suite of safety features, modern interior styling with class-above features, and a number of user-friendly technologies.
The new Elantra projects confidence with sculpted body forms complemented by smoothly contoured lines. Inspired by the concept of dynamic precision, Elantra's architecture was a perfect platform for collaboration between Hyundai designers and engineers to blend advanced styling with functional aerodynamics. From the front, the new Elantra is defined by Hyundai's signature hexagonal grille that projects a distinctive character when combined with its modern lighting signatures, including available HID headlights with Dynamic Bending Lights and unique vertical LED daytime running lights, which are firsts for Elantra.
Elantra's sporty lower front fascia integrates functional front wheel air curtains, a component derived from the Sonata Hybrid that helps manage air flow from the front of the vehicle and around the wheels to minimize turbulence and wind resistance. In addition, underbody covers, an aerodynamic rear bumper bottom spoiler and rear decklid designed with an expanded trunk edge contribute to Elantra's 0.27 coefficient of drag.
The Hyundai sedan features a sleek bodyside character line that accentuates a sweeping side window silhouette and striking side profile. Overall length has increased by just under an inch and its proportions are further enhanced by increasing its width by an inch, presenting a more athletic stance and stable appearance.
Power for the Elantra sedan is provided by 2.0L Atkinson Cycle four-cylinder engine. Torque is communicated to the street through a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed electronic automatic with SHIFTRONIC manual shift mode.
The 2017 Elantra rides on a lighter foundation than the outgoing model. Its rigid chassis now reinforced with 53 percent advanced high-strength steel compared with 21 percent from the previous model, providing improved stiffness at a lower body weight.
This increased usage results in a 29.5 percent stiffer torsional rigidity and 25.3 percent greater bending strength, which bring improvements in vehicle ride and handling, quietness, durability and driving performance. Furthermore, the new Elantra increased structural adhesive application 40 times at higher stress points on the chassis and to reinforce welding areas. A component often found in aerospace applications, these structural adhesives also contribute to improved NVH and vehicle dynamics due to extra stiffness in the chassis.
Inside the passenger cabin, Elantra continues to depict a modern, driver-oriented design optimized for intuitive control, improved interior roominess, high-quality materials and premium technology features. The contemporary interior design integrates premium soft-touch materials in key touch points and high-tech details to create an inviting and comfortable interior environment for all passengers. The wide design of the instrument panel provides a feeling of spaciousness and is available with a 4.2-inch color TFT LCD instrument display for improved driver visibility and functionality. The rest of the center stack is laid out in a horizontal design with buttons and controls placed in logical groups by function, and a slight seven degree tilt toward the driver for optimal ergonomics.
The front seats feature high-tension lightweight seat frames for improved performance in collisions, and a multi-firmness seat pad to help reduce driver fatigue over long distances.
The new Elantra distinguishes itself from the compact car class with segment-first premium features such as a hands-free Smart Trunk and Clari-Fi™ music restoration technology, plus additional convenience and safety items. The Hyundai sedan is also available with a full suite of the latest advanced safety technologies.

McCain Plans Federal Health Cuts
Medicare, Medicaid Spending Would Be Reduced to Offset Proposed Tax Credit
John McCain would pay for his health plan with major reductions to Medicare and Medicaid, a top aide said, in a move that independent analysts estimate could result in cuts of $1.3 trillion over 10 years to the government programs.
The Republican presidential nominee has said little about the proposed cuts, but they are needed to keep his health-care plan "budget neutral," as he has promised. The McCain campaign hasn't given a specific figure for the cuts, but didn't dispute the analysts' estimate.
In the months since Sen. McCain introduced his health plan, statements made by his campaign have implied that the new tax credits he is proposing to help Americans buy health insurance would be paid for with other tax increases.
But Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Sen. McCain's senior policy adviser, said Sunday that the campaign has always planned to fund the tax credits, in part, with savings from Medicare and Medicaid. Those government health-care programs serve seniors, poor families and the disabled. Medicare spending for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30 is estimated at $457.5 billion.
Mr. Holtz-Eakin said the Medicare and Medicaid changes would improve the programs and eliminate fraud, but he didn't detail where the cuts would come from. "It's about giving them the benefit package that has been promised to them by law at lower cost," he said.
Both Sen. McCain and his Democratic rival, Sen. Barack Obama, have recently sought to refocus on health care. The issue once ranked at the top of voters' domestic concerns, but has in recent months been eclipsed by energy and the economy.
Sen. McCain charges that the Obama plan, which would create a government-run marketplace in which people could buy coverage, would lead to government-run health care. Sen. Obama charges that Sen. McCain's plan would leave many people unable to get insurance.
Sen. Obama's campaign turned up the volume in a major push on health care over the weekend with two days of attacks from the stump, four new television advertisements, a series of health-care events across the country and fliers to voters' homes in swing states.
Sen. Obama is focused on Sen. McCain's plan to offer a new tax credit of $2,500 per person and $5,000 per family toward insurance premiums. This would allow people to buy health coverage on the open market, where they may have more choices and might look for a better bargain.
In exchange, the government would begin taxing the value of health benefits people get through work. If an employer spends $10,000 to buy a worker health insurance, the worker would pay taxes on that money.
"It's a shell game," Sen. Obama told an outdoor rally of 28,000 people Sunday in Asheville, N.C. "Sen. McCain gives you a tax credit with one hand -- but raises your taxes with the other."
Sen. McCain's plan actually would lower taxes for most people. But that means the plan wouldn't pay for itself, because it cuts certain taxes more than it raises others.
The federal government imposes two taxes on wages, generally: an income tax, which funds the government's general operations, and the payroll tax, paid for by employers and employees, which funds Social Security and Medicare. If Sen. McCain were to apply both of these to the value of health benefits, he could fully pay for his new tax credits. That is what aides have in the past suggested he would do.
In April, when Sen. McCain gave a major speech about his health plan, Mr. Holtz-Eakin, the senior policy adviser, said the tax provisions alone were budget neutral -- meaning that health benefits would have to be subject to both income and payroll taxes.
Campaign officials have regularly implied since then that the tax plan was a wash. In the vice-presidential debate last week, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin described Sen. McCain's proposed tax credits and said: "That's budget neutral. That doesn't cost the government anything, as opposed to Barack Obama's plan to mandate health-care coverage and have this universal, government-run program."
Mr. Holtz-Eakin said the campaign never intended to apply the payroll tax to health benefits. That means that most people would see a net tax cut, contrary to Sen. Obama's assertions. Only those with very rich benefits packages are likely to see a net increase in taxes. But it also means that Sen. McCain must fill a huge budget hole -- which the campaign says will come from cuts to Medicare and Medicaid.
The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank, estimates that the McCain plan would cost the government $1.3 trillion over 10 years. The plan would allow as many as five million more people to have insurance, it estimates.
Mr. Holtz-Eakin said the plan is accurately described as budget neutral because it assumes enough savings in Medicare and Medicaid spending to make up the difference. He said the savings would come from eliminating Medicare fraud and by reforming payment policies to lower the overall cost of care. He said the new tax credits will help some low-income people avoid joining Medicaid. The campaign also proposes increasing Medicare premiums for wealthier seniors.
Sen. Obama also would rely on some Medicare savings to pay for his health-care plan, which would offer subsidies to help consumers pay for premiums. The Tax Policy Center estimates that his plan would cost $1.6 trillion over 10 years and cover 34 million more people.

Another memorable Tenn-Renn
It rained Friday night but the clouds seemed to be dissipating on Saturday morning. We rendezvoused at the Clarksville Books-A-Million and took two cars to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival. Isaac drove the guys, and the girls rode with me. (At left: Taurus at Books-A-Million, wearing his kilt and his Indiana Jones hat.)
One glance at the Tenn-Renn grounds told us that an excess of rain had fallen recently. The grassy field that serves as parking lot was a maze of muddy tire tracks. "Park at your own risk," signs along the edge of the field warned. (The real meaning of the signs: Tenn-Renn will not get your car out of the mud for you.)
We drove into the field and parked as directed in a long double-row of cars, half-a-dozen rows from the bottom. Then we walked down the long hill to the ticket booths and fair gates, avoiding the mud as much as possible.
The fairgoers were enjoying the shows, food, shopping, and other attractions. It was Pirate Weekend and many people were wearing pirate garb (ranging from slightly to seriously piratical.) I didn't see as many people costumed as fantasy and mythical characters as I've seen previously.
All of the streets at Tenn Renn are graveled. Many of them were a little wet, and some of them were muddy. The heavy foot traffic around the tents in the market brought lots of saturated soil to the surface. The maintenance people had tossed wood chips and straw on the muddiest spots. Still, our shoes were soon splashed and speckled with mud, and we lifted our long skirts to try to keep them dry.
Some of the sights and wonders at this year's Renn Faire:
- Renaissance band near the entrance
- Matrons listen to the band and watch the crowd.
- A little boy cranes to see a performance.
- A fairy with a hairy tail
- The Bag Lady says she added a few trinkets to her dress this year.
- Craig of Farrington serenaded Keely, Annie, and me. (See how the sun is shining.)
- An herbal soap merchant performs a soap opera. (Note to the soap merchant: The web address you gave me doesn't work. Please send the correct one.)
- A lady dragon, I presume.
- These fairies disagreed about who would be in the photo.
- A ringtail is a zing-tail.
- Queen Elizabeth I greets a festival guest.
- The queen is gracious to even the smallest faire-goers. (Notice the mud. When she stood up, she quipped that she seemed to be listing to one side!)
- A troll lumbers by and glowers.
- A damsel with her market basket
- Loony Lucy poses with her pink parasol.
- A man and wife with nice, color-coordinated costumes (It is hard to know which people in the crowd are members of the troupe and which are playtrons, showing off their best garb.)
- Keely says this one-stocking look is very "Amy Brown".
- Master Falconer Kitty Tolson-Carroll (photo at right) represents Birds of the Gauntlet
- Belly-dancing jewelry in the market
- This merchant had beautiful wooden staffs and handmade brooms.
- A dazzle of crystals (One of my favorite photos from this year's festival.)
- An armored knight with his war hammer and his Gothic lady
- This knight clanked as he walked.
- Just before the rain
Unfortunately, I didn't get any photos of either my garb or Keely's. I made and wore a silvery linen dress that is long and medievalish. Keely made and wore a black skirt with a beautiful copper-colored bodice.
The weather goes bad
After wandering through the market for a while, we decided to go to a couple of the shows. Afterward, we walked to the area beside the jousting field, and as we left the cover of the trees, I noticed a very large, dark cloud that was nearly overhead. I decided to head for the car and Annie decided to go with me.
As we headed for the front gate, it began to sprinkle. We heard a policeman urging people to leave immediately. A little boy, clutching his umbrella, started to cry. His dad called him back to the shelter of the trees. His grandma said the trees weren't safe and they should head for the car. I don't know what they decided to do.
By the time we got to the car, it was raining steadily. Within a few minutes, it was raining much harder. Very soon, the rest of our group, except Castille, joined us at the cars.
Annie fished in the trunk from the back seat and hauled out our bags. Behind sheets of rain on the car windows, we girls squirmed out of our wet garb and put on our dry street clothes. This was not easy, but it was worth the effort.
Gusts of rain blew against the car. We saw lightning and heard crashes of thunder. We worried about Castille. We hoped he had found shelter and that he wasn't out in the storm, looking for the car.
We also worried about how we would ever drive out of the field. Every now and then, someone decided to leave and drove his car out of its parking place. Most of them paused in the mud. (Why?! We couldn't understand it!) In a futile effort to start moving again, the drivers stepped on the gas and spun the tires wildly. This made the loblolly in the exit route larger, deeper, and juicier. Finally, the people in the back seat would get out and push the car to firmer ground, getting terribly mud-splattered in the process.
Our exit
And Castille? He had waited out the storm inside a pavilion and watched a couple of performances. The performers, poor souls, worked in the rain. The stage was not covered by the roof. It seems that this made the belly dancing quite interesting. (Oh, my.)
Gentle reader, if you are following these events with bated breath, please relax. The story becomes less exciting now. We stopped at a gas station so the guys could change their clothes. They were too tall to change inside Isaac's little car. Then we went to Opry Mills Mall in Nashville and spent several hours shopping.
When we got back to Clarksville, we went to IHOP to eat. The food wasn't very good, but we were too tired to fuss much about it. From there, everyone went home in the car he or she had driven there. Isaac and I got home about 11 PM. When I went to bed at midnight, Dennis asked, "How was the Renn Faire?" I was too exhausted to go into detail. "We made it," I said.

The researchers, whose findings were published in the journal Nature Hazards, said the one cubic kilometre slab in the Coral Sea – dubbed the Noggin Block – "eventually will collapse".
The ominous slab was discovered by geologists who have been using 3-D mapping techniques to build a picture of the sea floor along the deepest parts of the reef.
"It is a pretty big chunk of sea-floor [in] the very slow, early stages of starting to break away from the edge of the Great Barrier Reef," said Dr Robin Beaman, a marine geologist at James Cook University.
"If it were to break away catastrophically, that is break away really quickly, what that would do is it would create a surface wave above it. It would actually cause a tsunami. That tsunami would travel across the Great Barrier Reef, it's about 70 kilometres offshore, and it would impact the local area, the North Queensland area."
The Noggin Block, perched on the edge of the continental shelf, is the remnant of an ancient underwater landslide.
Dr Beaman said the slab appeared stable for now and was only likely to move in the near future if there were a trigger such as a very large earthquake nearby. While such an earthquake is "unlikely", it is possible – and the slab will in any case eventually collapse.
"We don't really know when such a block might collapse," he told ABC Radio.
"All I can say is sometime it eventually will." The finding marks the first discovery of an undersea landslide on the Great Barrier Reef.
"We found this one large block that stood out," Dr Beaman said. "It is sitting on top of a submarine canyon, cutting into the slopes and it is in the preliminary stage of collapse We're not trying to alarm people, but we need to know it is there and what could happen when it falls."

"Contemplating the sale of Sunnyview" was Commissioners William McCarrier and Dale Pinkerton's "approach" in their Nov. 6 letter to the Butler Eagle.
Contemplating is their rationalization. This process has transpired in an abrupt manner.
On Oct. 23, Chairman McCarrier unilaterally contacted the firm to market Sunnyview. On Nov. 7, McCarrier and Pinkerton voted for Marcus & Millichap to send requests for proposals to prospective buyers with a Dec. 13 response date.
Actions speak louder than words — and they are acting.
Make your voices heard. Sunnyview's historic start was by Butler County voters in 1898. Without your help it will end in 2013.
Marketing Sunnyview was not discussed with me or Sunnyview residents/family members. The Sunnyview name reflects the heartfelt family atmosphere to which residents and employees refer as home. It is their Sunnyview on a daily basis. The view overlooking the city is beautiful.
If McCarrier and Pinkerton's mission was to sell Sunnyview, then this issue should have been on their campaign platforms. They hid their intentions to sell Sunnyview from the voters. McCarrier and Pinkerton claim that they have laid out a plan to ensure any prospective buyer shares the same values that have made Sunnyview the prized institution it has become.
The Nov. 7 RFP specifications are posted on my county webpage for your review. "Among other things, prospective buyers will be required to:
• "Pay the full tax rate and will not be eligible for tax-exempt status for at least 10 years.
FACT: Compassionate non-profit organizations will be excluded.
• "Maintain Sunnyview as a skilled nursing facility."
FACT: 10 year period only)
• "Guarantee current residents retain the right to stay for a long as they wish."
FACT: so long as eligible for Skilled Nursing level of care or 10 year period. What if the new owner changes direction?
• "Give priority to Butler County residents in future admissions."
FACT: How will this be implemented and monitored?
• "Provide detailed information on other nursing homes they operate and their standard of care."
FACT: The RFP does not ask for major violations and corrective action in lawsuits/prior bankruptcy/prior closings of their care facilities.
• "Maintain access to Sunnyview for low-income, Medicaid/Medicare recipients."
FACT: A minimum of 70 percent of the licensed long-term care facility beds go to Medicaid payees for 10 years. Private homes will use more stringent admission requirements to deny access and increase profits.
• "Recognize the unions that represent the employees of Sunnyview."
FACT: What if bargaining fails? Does the new owner have to enter into a contract? They have the right to sell.
Do you believe all these criteria are possible or probable by a for-profit private bean counter whose only concern is the bottom line? Compassion and caring cannot be mandated.
Government has leaders and followers. Commissioners McCarrier and Pinkerton are idealogical politicians. They predicted what you wanted to hear and kept repeating that message to get elected. They want to sell Sunnyview because other counties are selling their nursing homes. They want to sell Sunnyview to construct their palatial new building with indoor parking to gain favor among their supporters and cliques. They want to take on $20 million in new indebtedness because the federal and state governments have made it the status quo.
I'm a fiscally conservative leader, not a follower. I don't want more debt or higher taxes. I want to come up with a responsible solution to keep Sunnyview.
I want to move Sunnyview into a productive and vibrant future. So does the union. It made the necessary concessions to have a balanced budget.
Sunnyview provides a vital community service for seniors, working poor, middle class and disabled.
We live in a rich country. We are one of the most prosperous counties in Pennsylvania. Why are we cutting services to the middle class, the poor and our senior citizens? Some are suffering from mental illness, dementia, Alzheimers, severe physical disabilities and terminal illnesses.
I believe it is entitlement and greed by those in control and power. The mentality is more and more for me and less and less in services for those in dire hardship. It's not what I was taught in my home or in Westminster United Presbyterian Church of Evans City while growing up.
I'm surely not going to start changing my ethics and morality now.
To McCarrier and Pinkerton, my outspoken presentment of facts and outright honesty has been a form of misbehavior toward their chosen few. How can one justify their behavior directed toward our most vulnerable? I surely cannot.

10 Surprising Things You Can Cook in the Microwave
We all know what a microwave is for, right? It's for reheating leftovers and steaming broccoli. Yawn. If you're going to give so much precious kitchen real estate to a microwave oven, you better make it work harder than that!
Here are 10 more things you can do with your microwave, from making healthier potato chips to frothing milk foam for your latte.
The microwave is looked down upon by many home cooks, given its associations with TV dinners and frozen burritos, but it is actually a healthier way of cooking vegetables, says Harold McGee, food science guru. It leaves more nutrients intact, and you can use it to steam food without using as much fat.
→ Read more: How Microwaves Heat Your Food
Beyond these benefits, though, you can use the microwave for some unexpected and rather awesome purposes.
10 Things You Can Cook in Your Microwave
Quick One-Serving Mug Cake
Let's start with the essentials: cake. You can make mug cakes in the microwave in just a couple minutes, with a few basic ingredients. Your Oatmeal Nutella Cake and Pumpkin Pie in a Mug are not far away — or try one of these 13 easy mug cakes.
Poached Eggs
Great for the office. Take some leftover greens or pasta and poach a fresh, gooey egg to throw on top.
Healthier Potato Chips
Easy, crispy potato chips — from the microwave? With no fat? Believe it.
Creamy Polenta
Polenta doesn't have to be a time-consuming stovetop affair. This makes a quick bowl for breakfast or supper.
Mac & Cheese, from Scratch!
Yes, cook the pasta and the sauce in the microwave; it's ready in less than 10 minutes. This method wins over the box every time.
Frothed Milk for a Homemade Latte
No, you don't need a special machine — just your microwave and a jar, and you can have a delicious cappuccino or Pumpkin Spice Latte any time of year.
Toasted Nuts
Yep, you can toast nuts in the microwave. It's quick, with less chance of scorching them.
Dried Herbs
A good way to preserve fresh herbs for the fall and winter.
Bread Dough
No, we don't recommend making bread in your microwave, but it can help you bake a homemade loaf! Hurry up your last bread rise a little bit with a couple zaps from the microwave.
Microwave Popcorn, from Scratch
Wait, you say — I know the microwave makes popcorn. You just buy those little packets ... well, yes, but did you know you can skip those and just put regular popcorn kernels in a greased bowl or in a plain paper bag and pop them in the microwave that way? Watch the video above!
We could go on and on, actually — how about making lemon curd or softening cheese for the cheese plate?
But it's your turn now — do you have any smart, unexpected uses for your microwave?

Our run defense up the middle is still not right. That is a defect a handful of teams can exploit. San Francisco can still push our guys around with their offensive line if they make it a game priority.
Re-signing Branch would retain last year's status quo, which was only OK the last half of the year. I am open it ideas that improve Branch's spot, but don't say rookie. What veterans can upgrade Branch's run stopping spot?

Ultra Power Partner Review
With all the holidays right around the corner, you may be getting some new gadgets for your system. What do all of the possible parts have in common? They all mean that more and more power will be sucked out of your power supply. You may be asking yourself if it is worth buying a brand new power supply to accomodate the new demands. Why would you ditch your perfectly good power supply currently in your system when you can pick up one of Ultra's new products, the Ultra Power Partner, instead? This piece of hardware is a secondary power supply that you can fit right in an empty 5.25" drive bay. With the addition of the Ultra Power Partner, you can add an extra 325 watts to your system. Let's see if this power supply can live up to the claims.
Closer Look:
The Ultra Power Partner comes packaged in a cardboard box that displays all of the highlights of this particular power supply. The Ultra Power Partner 325 Watt ATX Power Supply is not like any other power supply that I have seen. It is very sleek and, as mentioned earlier, fits right into an empty 5.25" drive bay of your case.
Once you open up the box, you are able to see exactly how Ultra decided to protect the Power Partner during the shipping process. Ultra wrapped the Power Partner in a plastic package that protects the power supply from being scratched, and also sandwiched it between two molded Styrofoam pieces to help keep it in place and prevent dents. Included in the box is the instructions and a second plastic package that includes the expansion slot bracket that allows you to feed the power wire safely out of the case and a bag of screws to mount the Ultra Power Partner.
When you take the Ultra Power Partner out of the plastic packaging, you can see that the unit has a great little shine to it. There is one 24-pin adapter cable, two 4-pin and 6-pin connectors and one 8-pin connector. The back side of the unit has two fans blowing the hot air out of the power supply, this is also where you plug the A/C power cable into and there is an on/off switch located on this side as well. The front is very simple looking with just a mesh material and Ultra's logo.

Cork Walls: Why We Love Them in Small Spaces
As long as it's kept tidy and well-organized, a cork wall is a fun choice in almost any home: it creates a temporary display space for artwork; provides an easy spot for posting messages, notes, and photos; and introduces an interesting organic material. Click through for three reasons we especially love a cork wall in a small space.
• 1 The organic color and texture of a cork wall is a nice way to warm up a small space and contribute to coziness. Cork wall treatments come in a number of different shades (from a dark chocolate brown to a more honey-colored beige), and you can even treat them with patterns using stencils and paint (as in the third photo, which is admittedly not a small space).
• 2 A cork wall behind a desk creates an instant home office area without adding volume or depth. Use the wall to organize inspiration and reminders, hang your calendar, or even hang letter sorters and files.
• 3 In a very tight space like a studio, a cork wall provides a way to easily change out your artwork. When you've got to look at the same artwork all the time in one room that is your entire home, it helps to be able to switch it up frequently for a new look.

Arizona Cardinals release QB John Skelton
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have released quarterback John Skelton, who started 17 games for the team over the past three seasons.
The move on Monday came amid reports the team was trying to work out a trade to bring quarterback Carson Palmer from Oakland.
Skelton beat out Kevin Kolb for the starting job under then-coach Ken Whisenhunt in training camp last season. He was hurt in the opener and Kolb took over.
Skelton returned as starter when Kolb was injured, but lost the job due to poor performance. The Cardinals released Kolb earlier and he has agreed to a contract with Buffalo.
Meanwhile, quarterback Brian Hoyer has signed his tender offer from the club. Running back William Powell and defensive back Ronald Talley also re-signed with the Cardinals.

What I will remember most about Harold Ramis is his smile — always there in his work, ever playing across his face. Even when the writer/actor/director was trying to look serious, his eyes twinkled and a grin tugged at the corners of his mouth. As if he couldn't help it.
He carried humor with him everywhere, packed in his bag of writing tricks, packed in his 6-foot-2-inch frame. Ramis always seemed on the verge of laughing out loud, as if he'd just remembered a favorite joke.
That sense of amusement at all the ridiculous and silly curves this crazy life could throw a person saturated his work from the beginning. He started his career as a joke editor for Playboy, a job description that seems like a punch line.

That particular brand of nonsense was never more famously on display than in 1984's "Ghostbusters," which he co-wrote with Dan Aykroyd.
Ramis was never a traditional critic's darling, but he was always entertaining. He would make you laugh. Even his last film, 2009's "Year One," a clumsy caveman comedy starring Jack Black and Michael Cera, still delivered sight gags. I dare you to look at Cera in animal skins and not giggle.
There is a certain symmetry that Ramis, who died at 69 on Monday, would spend his final days in Chicago. It was where he was born and where he would hone his comic sensibility as a member of Second City's famous improv theater group, with its rich legacy as both a home and a launching pad for the talented and the funny. Second City would help push him from the improv stage into other mediums, starting with the cult comic hit "SCTV."
For a time, Ramis was head writer of the TV show that specialized in parodying other shows. So it made perfect sense when Ramis began directing an occasional episode of NBC's "The Office," the last time in 2010. After that, he mostly faded from sight to fight the disease that would eventually take him.
It really couldn't be more fitting that his movie breakthrough came as one of three writers of 1978's "National Lampoon's Animal House," with its tawdry teasing of frat-boy culture and the power of outsiders to upend convention. Nearly everyone has a favorite scene; a certain mayor's daughter being pushed along in a shopping cart is mine.

A long line of "loser" comedies continues the tradition to this day. And though a college campus may not be the setting each time, there are always lessons to be learned and mirth to be had at the expense of the staid.
Part of the filmmaker's appeal is because Ramis was a populist at heart. Films like "Caddyshack," "Groundhog Day," "Multiplicity," "Analyze This" in 1999 and "Analyze That" in 2002 were easy to enjoy. Ramis' wit was more of the Three Stooges variety; there wasn't much of a mean streak.
Ramis understood that one of the most powerful common denominators among humans is the desire to laugh -- especially at someone who actually fumbles and fails at life a lot like, but slightly more, than the rest of us. Ramis, working with great comedians who also happened to be friends — Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Billy Crystal among them — helped keep physical comedy and the art of slapstick alive.
Though I've laughed and loved many of Ramis' films — those he's written, those he's acted in, those he's directed, and those in which he's done all three — my personal favorite will always be 1993's "Groundhog Day," which he directed and wrote with Danny Rubin.
The notion of the ultimate romantic do-over, that a second or 50th chance to get it right might be possible, never fails to stop me as I channel surf for a late-night movie fix. Bill Murray is at his most charming — eventually — after starting the film as one of those obnoxious TV weathercasters certain he's destined for more, not because he's smarter but because he plays well on TV.
PHOTOS: Harold Ramis | 1944 - 2014
Inside all the silliness of piano lessons and drink ordering is one of those fundamental life lessons — that the secret to keeping love alive is in the listening. In "Groundhog" the sweetness is so central it extends far beyond Murray's romancing his news producer Rita, played by Andie MacDowell, as hearts-and-flowers as all of that is.
For all the funny, it is a film filled with small acts of kindness, never funnier or more of a test than Stephen Tobolowsky's annoying insurance salesman. When, after about the fourth time the scene is run, Ned finally makes the sale of a lifetime to Phil, a look of surprise mixed with satisfaction overtakes his face. Which is what happens to me when I think of Ramis. Even now as the tears well, a smile breaks through.
Thanks for the comic legacy you left, Mr. Ramis, for reminding us it's never a bad idea to laugh at our own foibles. And perhaps, to live more like you seemed too, where no "Groundhog Day" do-overs are necessary.

Giving a Shoutout to Hearing Health for National Women's Health Week
Giving a Shout Out to Hearing Health for National Women's Health Week
Hearing loss, especially when left unaddressed, can hit a woman hard. In fact, research shows that women with hearing loss are more likely to experience depression than men with hearing loss.
What's more, we now know that hearing loss is linked to a number of other important women's health issues, like heart disease and diabetes.
So this National Women's Health Week (May 11-17, 2014), let's give a shout out to hearing health and get the word out on why hearing tests are so important to a women's complete wellbeing.
To make it easier for you, we're including a press release below. Feel free to tailor it for your own practice and/or community.
Also below are sample social media posts that you can adapt for either Facebook or Twitter. Thanks for taking part!

BHI Gives 10 Reasons Why Hearing Tests Are Essential for Women's Complete Wellness
Take an Online Hearing Check for National Women's Health Week at www.BetterHearing.org
Washington, DC, April 17, 2014—Hearing loss is linked to other important women's health issues, but recognizing and addressing it can enhance well-being, says the Better Hearing Institute (BHI). BHI is urging women of all ages to take the free, quick, and confidential online BHI Hearing Check at www.BetterHearing.org during National Women's Health Week (May 11-17). Anyone can take the online survey to determine if they need a comprehensive hearing test by a hearing health professional.
In the United States today, as many as one-third of women in their 50s have some degree of hearing loss, along with nearly two-thirds of women in their 60s. A 2008 study also found that the prevalence of hearing loss among younger adults, specifically among those in their 20s and 30s, is increasing. Fortunately, for the vast majority of people with hearing loss, hearing aids can help.
"Hearing loss is extremely common and can be much more disabling than people realize," said Sharon G. Curhan, MD, MSc, Channing Division of Network Medicine, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, who has been conducting research on hearing loss in women for several years. "It can negatively impact overall health, quality of life, productivity, relationships, and social interactions."
"Our research focuses on identifying behavior changes that may help prevent or delay hearing loss," Curhan continued. "Early detection of hearing loss is especially important, both to prevent further progression, and also to benefit from emerging knowledge and technologies that enable individuals to manage hearing loss more effectively than ever before. I urge all women to learn the status of their hearing health and to take steps to protect their hearing."
BHI supports National Women's Health Week, an observance led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health.

10 Reasons Why Hearing Tests Are Essential for Women's Complete Wellness
(1) Women with hearing loss are more likely to be depressed. Research shows that hearing loss is associated with depression among U.S. adults, but particularly among women. http://ow.ly/vvZEz
(2) The ear may be a window to the heart. Cardiovascular and hearing health are linked. Some experts say the inner ear is so sensitive to blood flow that it's possible that abnormalities in the cardiovascular system could be noted here earlier than in other less sensitive parts of the body. http://ow.ly/vw3gH
(3) If you have diabetes, you're twice as likely to have hearing loss. What's more, having diabetes may cause women to experience a greater degree of hearing loss as they age, especially if the diabetes is not well controlled with medication. http://ow.ly/vw7so & http://ow.ly/vw4M2
(4) Your fitness level and waist size may be affecting your hearing. Research shows that a higher body mass index (BMI) and larger waist circumference in women are each associated with higher risk of hearing loss. It also shows that a higher level of physical activity is associated with lower risk of hearing loss. http://ow.ly/vw3gH
(5) Cancer treatments can damage hearing. Certain chemotherapy treatments for cancer may damage healthy cochlear hair cells found in the inner ear and result in hearing loss. http://ow.ly/vwlEi
(6) Hearing loss may put you at greater risk of falling or hospitalization. A pair of Johns Hopkins' studies found that people with even just mild hearing loss were nearly three times more likely to have a history of falling, and that hospitalization is more likely for older adults with hearing loss. http://ow.ly/vwchC & http://ow.ly/vwbZe
(7) Addressing hearing loss may benefit long-term cognitive function. Research shows a link between hearing loss and dementia, leading experts to believe that interventions, like hearing aids, could potentially delay or prevent dementia. Research is ongoing. http://ow.ly/vCFDW & http://ow.ly/vCG54
(8) Hearing loss in women is tied to common pain relievers. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen are associated with an increased risk of hearing loss in women. The link is even stronger among those younger than 50. http://ow.ly/vwIWi
(9) Addressing hearing loss improves quality of life, earnings, and relationships. Eight out of 10 hearing aid users say they're satisfied with the changes that have occurred in their lives specifically due to their hearing aids—from how they feel about themselves to the positive changes they see in their relationships, social interactions, and work lives.
(10) Today's state-of-the-art hearing aids are better than ever and virtually invisible. Today's sleek and sophisticated, virtually invisible hearing aids combine high-performance technology and style with durability and ease-of-use, helping women stay socially, physically, and cognitively active. The options are so varied there's an attractive solution for just about anyone.

28-year-old allegedly exposed himself to a 13-year-old
A 28-year-old man is in the Ionia County Jail, accused of intentionally exposing himself to a 13-year-old.
Leonard Ward of ionia was arraigned Aug. 29 in Ionia County 64-A District Court and charged with aggravated indecent exposure. If convicted, he could face up to two years in prison and/or a fine of up to $2,000.
Ward was arrested Aug. 28 after the victim's family called the Ionia Department of Public Safety to report that Ward allegedly had exposed himself to the victim, said IDPS Detective Sgt. Cory McDiarmid.
Because Ward also allegedly fondled himself while in the act, he is charged with aggravated indecent exposure, rather than indecent exposure, which by Michigan law enhances the penalty, McDiarmid said.
He is being held in the Ionia County Jail on a $5,000 bond.

Marlborough's new mayoral chains should be ready in time for the mayor-making ceremony in May.
The chains were stolen from the town hall in October and Birmingham firm Fattorini has been chosen to reproduce them.
Town clerk Shelley Parker said: "We are going with a well established company. The design is going to be a like-for-like replacement.
"It was difficult for our councillors to commission something new because the chains were part of the town's heritage. The new design will incorporate the town council's coat of arms.
"The insurance agreed to pay out £96,550. Needless to say our councillors have needed to be sure they were going to get value for money. It is about replacing it for its value. That is the figure we are working with to replace what was stolen.
"Although there are no guarantees, the company is making sure it is ready for May.
"We would ideally like it for the mayor making ceremony. It is a big ask because they have to source precious stones."
Mayor Guy Loosmore, deputy mayor Marian Hannaford-Dobson and Mrs Parker visited the company in Birmingham on Tuesday to see its work and to look at the types of gold and stones used.
The 18 carat gold chains, which were decorated with amethysts and other precious stones, were taken from the town hall between 7.30pm on October 14 and 8am on October 15.
Mr Loosmore said: "It was not an easy decision. It is about replacing as much as we can because it is part of the history of the town.
"We are replacing a chain that was made over a century ago that reflects what people wanted to have at that time. This process is reflected in us going as far as we can for a like-for-like chain.
"We will have an involvement with what is going on and that will add its own history to the chain."
Marlborough's next mayor Mrs Hannaford-Dobson will be the first to wear the new chain in May.
She said: "I am very excited and absolutely delighted. It will be nice being the first mayor to wear it.
"Obviously we were all devastated to lose the older chain. We are trying to reinstate it to as near as possible to the older chain."

hunting lessons from defensive classes

hunting lessons from defensive classes
I have found quality self defense classes to be extremely beneficial to my hunting skills. I am a member of Front Sight outside of Las Vegas. I try to get often as I can to help maintain my skills. The basic ideology behind Front Sight is to be able to defend yourself with firearm in case of an attack. From this perspective, it would be easy to dismiss as "not applicable" to the hunter. However, it is what is taught that is key. The primary lesson is weapons proficiency broken down into small easily learned steps. Areas such as sight alignment, trigger control, accuracy, malfunction correction, target acquisition, and muzzle control are all elements we try to master as hunters.
The second area of self-defense training is learning to control your own mind. When faced with threatening situation where we may have to fight, the body dumps a massive amount of adrenaline into the system. This results in tunnel vision, shaking hands, and decreased ability to think critically. The same thing happens when we are hunting. Ever hear of Buck Fever? It is the body's same response to a possible fighting situation with adrenaline being released into the bloodstream. Self-defense tactics train you to maintain composure at level which ensures you make an accurate and appropriate shot by repeatedly putting you into scenarios which recreates the adrenaline rush at the same time requiring you to make critical shots. Whether you are shooting on the range or in a simulated tactical advance, the lesson is control of yourself and your weapon.
Reguardless of weather we are drawing a bead on a soon-to-be-perforated-bad-guy or whether we are scooping out the next world record Mule Deer, the lessons of control and proficiency are applicable. Not to mention, Self-defense training is one heck of a lot of fun! If you have the chance, give it a try!

Jobs that pay $100 an hour or more aren't easy to come by.
There are two basic types of these high-paying jobs: Those where you get that rate full time, bringing your annual salary to more than $200,000 a year, and those where you only work part time — say five to 20 hours a week. So, you make $100 an hour but your annual salary doesn't make you a high roller.
"Being able to get $100 an hour is rare," said Al Lee, the director of quantitative analysis at PayScale.com. The median hourly wage in the U.S. is $16 an hour, he points out, so earning $100 an hour would be more than six times what the average worker makes.
Lee says the three easiest ways to get a $100 an hour job are: 1) Become a doctor, 2) Become a CEO of a large company (500 employees or more) or 3) Manage other people's money (stock broker, portfolio manager, etc.).
So, most of the time, you're going to need higher education like a medical degree, law degree or at least an MBA. Though, as you'll see, there are a few exceptions on the list for those with special talents in the arts. It's also important to note with most of the jobs, you're not going to earn $100 an hour out of the gate — you'll need to stay in the business for a few years.

Plus, that "flightless bird" team has some soviet player and some 'Sid' kid that I keep hearing about. Should be a good hockey month!

The newest roller coaster in Florida isn't a ferocious, man-eating tiger — but it's no pussycat either.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay's Cheetah Hunt, which debuted last week, carries some of its namesake's qualities in the form of speedy bursts and smooth maneuvers.
Cheetah Hunt's distinctive feature, particularly among the Busch Gardens thrill rides, is the lack of a lift hill. The cars are propelled by bursts of magnetic motion — aka Linear Synchronous Motor technology. We've seen this in Orlando parks with the Incredible Hulk coaster at Islands of Adventure and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney's Hollywood Studios. But instead of being rapidly accelerated through a tunnel or into darkness, Cheetah Hunt's launches are sprinkled along the 4,400-foot track, the longest at Busch Gardens.
The ride
The most visually stimulating of the launches is near the beginning of the ride. The 16-passenger train accelerates through a straightaway, barreling toward a near-vertical segment that lifts to the top of the Windcatcher's Tower.
Up there, the track goes into a series of twists and turns in a surprisingly leisurely fashion.
"You don't race through that figure eight. It launches you to the top of the tower at 60 mph, then it slows and meanders around the top so you get the chance to chill for a second," says Jim Dean, Busch Gardens president. "You get a panoramic view of the park and the whole Tampa Bay area. Then it dives off the other side, almost vertical into the first of four trenches."
From here, it's an up, down and around experience, including a loop around the Skyride wire and gondolas and later skirting the former Rhino Rally lagoon.
Dean says they tried to satisfy different kinds of coaster fans.
"There's some hard-core roller-coaster enthusiasts that are going to want the speed. It has three launches, it's going to satisfy them, plus the drop off the tower," he says. "But it only has one inversion, so if you don't want to get scrambled, this is the perfect ride."
The look
You can thank Facebook for the unusual (and fragile-looking) design of Windcatcher's Tower — wide at the top, very narrow at the base. Busch Gardens was going for eye-catching.
"Social media is such a big part of culture today, people will take pictures with their phones," says Mark Rose, vice president of design and engineering. "When they broadcast that on their Facebook and things, their friends will say, 'Where is that? It's unusual. I don't know where that is. I've never seen anything like that.' Then a dialogue will begin."
The ride's feline motif is apparent from the entrance, where tall carved-concrete cheetahs stand, to the catlike markings on the ride vehicles. More of a challenge was incorporating the ride's location, which touches three areas of the theme park.
"We had three architectural styles — Egypt, Morocco and Africa — that we blended together in this realm, that's been here for thousands of years, lots of indigenous people, always in celebration of the cheetah," Rose says. "We have these two sentinels at our beginning that kind of guard our entry, then we have our big cheetah rock that they've always celebrated and decorated. We tried to blend those together."
The big cats
Alongside the coaster is an animal habitat called Cheetah Run. Guest will be able to see the cats put through their paces several times a day.
"It may be a running demonstration or maybe some other form of demonstration," says Mike Boos, vice president of zoological operations. "The intent is not to show tricks or behaviors — it's really to get folks interested in the natural behavior of the animal. When they do that, they care about them a little bit more."
Cheetahs haven't been regular residents at Busch Gardens for years. The new cats arrived, in cooperation with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' species survival plan, from South Africa and the White Oak Conservation Center near Jacksonville.
Showing off the cheetahs' speed will take some motivation. They typically sleep 20 hours a day, Boos says. In order to get the big cats going, trainers are using lures like you might use with Fluffy.
"But it's not your normal feather and string," Boos says. "This one goes about 80 mph."
