Kalpana Sunder discovers how everything from culture to cuisine in this island has an Indian connect
Between the heady incense from the dashboard and the driver called Amar who speaks Bhojpuri and plays 'Munni Badnaam Hui' on FM radio, it's hard to remember in which country I am… Four centuries of colonialisation has resulted in a rich textured tapestry of cultures on this island nation. The French and English colonists brought in slaves and indentured workers from India, Madagascar and China to work on their sugarcane plantations. I whiz past bougainvillea bushes in a thousand shades, groves of coconut palms, and acres of sugarcane to my hotel that sits under the brooding shadow of Morne Mountain, a UNESCO world heritage site. At the hotel, the buggy driver says his ancestors are from Andhra Pradesh.
One of the first places I visit in Port Louis, the crowded capital of Mauritius, is the poignant Aapravasi Ghat, now in the throes of renovation. It's the most tangible symbol of the historical connection between the two countries and the course of events that changed the demography of this nation.
The simple building of rough stone was the immigration depot where the first indentured labourers or girmityas from Bihar arrived, packed like sardines in coolie ships. They climbed the 14 steps of the wharf to reach the depot where they stayed for three days before being sent to the sugar fields.
Between 1834 and 1920, more than half-a-million Indian workers were contracted to work for Rs. 5 a month for five years. Most were from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh; some from Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. For many Indians fleeing their villages, it seemed an escape from poverty and the indignities of oppressive social conditions. Amitav Ghosh's Sea Of Poppies tells the tale of the sea journey of indentured labourers during the 1830s.
I imagine the first brave immigrants — how they congregated, battled loneliness, cooked, and preserved their culture and festivals. In the late 1980s, interest in preserving the arrival depot began, and it was finally declared a UNESCO site in 2006. More than 70 per cent of Mauritians are of Indian origin.
The cuisine of the island country is a melting pot like the country itself, with Creole flavours and Indian spices coming together in a piquant medley. The ubiquitous meal-on-the-run all over the island is Dholl Puri served from glass cases mounted on bicycles — a mix of curried bean, tomato chutney, spicy pickled vegetables, wrapped in a crepe-like chappati with a liberal dash of green chilli sauce. Then there are the familiar dishes, but with Creole names — Gateau Bringele is eggplant pakora and Piment Farci is stuffed, batter-fried green chillies. Everyone speaks Creole, a version of French with African syntax; many speak Hindi and Bhojpuri.
To delve deeper into the Indian connection, I drive to Ganga Talao or Grand Bassin in the south of the island where a 108-ft bronze statue of Siva (the world's second tallest) towers over a natural crater lake.
Locals believe that when Lord Siva carried the Ganges in his hair, a few drops fell here. As I look at the techni-colour glow of the Indian gods and the women in festive saris and vermilion-streaked hair, Amar says, "Did you know that Maha Shivaratri is a national holiday in Mauritius?" The smells of incense and flowers mingle as I gaze across the lake.
Over the next few days, the Indian umbilical cord surfaces almost everywhere: the popularity of Bollywood movies, the Indian TV serials, and the big fat Indian weddings. In fact, Mauritius is fast emerging as a big spot for destination weddings for mainland Indians.
The Indian restaurants across the island have names such as Happy Rajah and Salaam Bombay. The local sega music with its African roots fuses with Bhojpuri lyrics. In the old Victorian market in Port Louis that dates back to 1844, the air is redolent with the smell of chillies, over-ripe pineapples and familiar foods. Only, the samosas are samoussas and the intriguing alouda, with milk, jelly and mouthfuls of chopped agar-agar and crunchy seeds, is nothing but our own falooda.

Debate Simmers Over Science of Food Pairing 111
from the gnutella-and-bananas-for-science dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I'm a plate turner...not quite as bad as when I was young..but I just don't like my foods mixed.
When I'd eat..I'd have multiple things on my plate..but I'd eat all of one thing..finish is, then often, literally turn the plate to eat the next thing in succession (I don't recall if always clockwise or counter clockwise or if there was a pattern...likely just the next best thing)...eat that..then turn.....etc.
As a kid, my favorite thing, was those plates that had compartments..so that one food didn't touch the other food.
Hence, in my example above..of late nights on weekends in college...going to Denny's I'd order spaghetti and meatballs or something...and a side of fries, things that don't generally pair...but was ok for me, since I'd eat all the spaghetti...then, turn my attention to the fries.
I find I don't usually drink and eat at the same time, even to this day. I don't wash my food down.
For years, i've been trying to make a concerted effort to change this at least for wine...so I can do like most say, and enjoy a good wine paired with a meal. I used to get pissed when eating with others...I'd drink a bit of wine that came before the meal...but during the meal, I'd stop drinking...and when the meal was over, since the others hadn't stopped drinking and eating together...the wine often was gone....
While I'm not as bad as I used to be...if I don't think about it...I still do the one food at a time thing to a great extent.
I love to cook, but one of my downfalls is that I've not grown up learning what foods do go well together when planning menus for others. To me, I'm just usually concerned about each individual dish's flavor...but not how they integrate into a meal...when enjoyed by others that eat a bit of this and a bit of that all through the meal.
There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence. -- Jeremy S. Anderson

Dave Mustaine: I Probably Shouldn't Have Punched James Hetfield in the Mouth
In a new interview, Dave Mustaine lists a few of his regrets, including punching James Hetfield in the mouth.
In a new interview, Dave Mustaine lists a few of his regrets, including punching James Hetfield in the mouth.
Nonpoint have completed their latest album, 'The Return,' and unveiled that it will arrive in September.
Megadeth's Dave Mustaine has credited '24' character Jack Bauer, the current political climate and his recent doctor's visit for inspiring new music.
The beloved musician captured video of a strange object in the skies over Studio City, Calif. unlike anything you've seen before.
Megadeth's Dave Mustaine speaks with Full Metal Jackie about touring in other countries, his band's album progress and more.
David Ellefson and Dave Mustaine are busy writing new riffs for the next Megadeth album.
Megadeth's Dave Mustaine has covered Jimi Hendrix's rendition of 'The Star-Spangled Banner' for the new documentary film, 'America.'
We broke the news not too long ago that Mastodon had finished recording their sixth studio album. The hugely anticipated record is expected for a summer release, but the entire process isn't done yet. In a message posted on Mastodon's Facebook page, the band reveals the record is now in the mastering process.
Back in the '90s, Robert Rolfe Feddersen was the singer of a band called Loudmouth. These days, he's a folk rock singer who will be releasing the album 'American Loser' on Feb. 25. One of the songs on the album is 'Dave's Lament,' a track Feddersen wrote about Dave Mustaine.
Metal musicians travel the world constantly leapfrogging from continent to continent on a blur of buses, planes and trains. But no matter how busy they are and how insane the lifestyle is, of course there's always some time for a little football -- especially with Super Bowl XLVIII between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks coming up this Sunday.
Bravo, Dean Guitars. You've just created one of the coolest custom axes we've ever seen! The new guitar is the Dimebag Darrell Signature ROOTS ML.

It has been five years since my last visit to this beautiful Island and left me wondering why I waited so long to return! This year I brought my two teenage daughters who had just graduated from high school, so it was a chance to revisit a few places we had been before. We were fortunate to stay at a private residence in Devonshire on the water - such a beautiful spot! I'll try to give a rundown of our activities without boring you too much!
Day 1 - arrived on an early morning flight from Halifax. We were surprised the aircraft wasn't even a 1/3 full. Hoped it wasn't an indication of reduced tourism for the Island. The flight takes about 2 hours - not even enough time to finish my movie! Flying into Bermuda is a sight that shouldn't be missed! The small Island appears out of no where surrounded by turquoise waters and the opportunity to see the reefs that have claimed so many ships in the past. Customs was quick, baggage a little slow, but we managed to get out of the airport within a half-hour. We caught a cab and the girls were in for a ride of their life. Experiencing driving in Bermuda is another activity that shouldn't be missed! For those of you thinking of getting a moped (you cannot rent a car in Bermuda) I highly recommend you leave the driving to the taxi cabs! We arrived at our destination, unpacked and headed into town. We exclusively used taxis (except for taking the ferry to the Dockyard) and while it can get expensive, it is a great way to get to ask questions about the Island and get a history lesson while you are at it. With the exception of maybe one cab driver, they were all extremely friendly. I found this year we didn't wait as long for a cab - perhaps the wide use of cell phones has changed that. While in town we had lunch at the Pickled Onion - excellent meal! A lunch for five was around $200 with a couple of drinks - not bad! The wahoo was fresh and the best we had on the Island all week. We stopped for drinks at the Bistro on the Beach - more of a local hangout. The rum swizzles weren't as good as I had remembered. Groceries were the next order of the day, and while our cart wasn't full, $400 later we left. I tried to explain to the girls everything is imported to Bermuda hence the higher cost of goods. They were shocked at the prices, I thought for the most part, they were comparable.
Day 2 - Our hostess was tired from travelling for the last week, so we decided to depart and head to Horseshoe Bay for the day. The drive along the South Shore is beautiful and when the beaches come into sight from the cliff - it is a breathtaking sight. It was an extremely hot day, and the beach was full of activity (two cruise ships were in). Great spot to people watch, play in the surf, and enjoy a book. My girls loved the beach! Horseshoe is one of the only beaches with a lifeguard. Also has changing rooms, cafe and you can buy a cold beer ($5.50 for a Heiniken and $4.50 for a small bowl of icecream). There are always a lot of taxis waiting at the end of the day, esp. when the cruise ships are in town. We headed back home for dinner and called it an early night!
Day 3 - We decided to trek into town for lunch and then head to the Dockyard for the day. Lunch was at the old establishment of the Hog Penny. We had dined here before and the food was always excellent, but I was a little disappointed in our meals. We then hopped the ferry to the Dockyard and decided to do a little sightseeing and shopping. It was extremely hot, so we didn't wander to far. We took in the glass blowing demonstration, sampled the Island Rum cakes, and browsed the small craft market before heading to Snorkel Park to cool off. Snorkel Park has certainly changed from the first time I visited. It used to be a little hut, with a small band playing some Raggae music and no entry fee. It has grown over the years and some new additions welcomed us. It was $5.00 to enter which really doesn't give you anything but access to the washrooms and changing rooms. There is a beach bar/restaurant, scuba shop, you can rent chairs/umbrellas, etc. We were going to stay for the beach barbeque but were informed it was sold out mostly to people on the cruises. There was also a "harbour nights" weekly festival happening, so we decided to stay for that. We wondered through some more of the Dockyard and settled in at the restaurant Amici which was located directly across from the market and stage where the performers were. It was an Italian restaurant with a large outdoor seating area. The food was ok but my seafood pasta was outstanding! They were very accommodating, but service was a little slow. The entertainment included goombay dancers, a comedian and a troupe of young dancers from the cruise ship. A small, but interesting craft market was present as well as several food vendors. We decided by the time we left to take a taxi home instead of going back to Hamilton via the ferry and then grabbing a cab! It was a long day, but one we all enjoyed.
Day 4 - Thought we would do a glass bottom boat tour so we headed back to the Dockyard. Most of the activities used to be out of Hamilton Harbour, but with the Dockyard being built up especially for the cruise ships coming to the Island, most of the operators have moved to that location. We grabbed a cab into town and decided to catch the ferry. Missed the last ferry before lunch, so grabbed another cab and drove to the Dockyard to ensure we didn't miss our reservations on the boat. We asked the cab driver to take us a long route for more of a sightseeing trip for the girls. We drove past several familiar landmarks and I was quite suprised to see the condos that had sprung up at the old Belmont hotel site. We used to stay at a private residence here, so it was said to see so much development. The glass bottom boat ride was great. Not sure what most people thought they would see, but I always love being on the water. The crew was friendly and found out our young guide was our neighbor and had also schooled in NS. The only thing I found this time was the number of boats at the wreck location made it seem too commercial. The jet skiis that zoomed around were annoying as well! We made our way back to the Dockyard and had a few drinks and snacks at the Frog and Onion before making our way back to Hamilton via the ferry. The ferries are now highspeed and it is only about a 25 minute ride. It cost $4.00/person one way. If you are in Bermuda for more than a couple of days and want to get around by ferry or bus, buy a pass. A sheath of 16 tickets was only $30. We did a little shopping downtown Hamilton and purchased my linen tea towels at The Linen Shop. Another trip to the grocery store and we headed home to barbeque steaks. The steaks are Black Angus and some of the best beef we have eaten!
Day 5 - This was a girl's spa day. We were treated at the Southhampton Princess and what a spot! The hotel is very majestic and you can see it from several points around the Island. Very old and gracious, it is the type of luxury you remember from old movies. We were greeted by the doorman who joked with us and told us to enjoy our day. When we left, he remember us and made sure he asked the girls how they enjoyed the spa. The spa is quite spectacular and large. We were greeted at reception and then a short tour by one of the staff. They showed us to the ladies locker room where we donned our fluffy housecoats and waiting in the lounge for our treatments. We all had a massage and pedicure (it was lovely). We had lunch by the indoor pool and while it was good, the food wasn't what I had expected. Lunch was two bento boxes and a caesar salad with shrimps, tea, smoothie and a glass of wine ($110). Our waiter was attentive and we had a pleasant chat. The view from our table was incredible and our overall experience excellent! We went into Hamilton that evening for their Harbour Nights celebration which is probably the best spot to go. Lots of people, way more vendors and a bit more excitement. We ate at Barracuda's - the food was ok but nothing special. Dinner for 5 of us was around $350 including 4 apps, 5 entrees, two desserts and drinks.
Day 6 - The kids decided they wanted to go back to Horseshoe Bay. My husband joined them and left me with our hostess to relax by the pool and enjoy a leisurely lunch at the local pub. The North Rock Brewing Company is a lovely spot and they had great burgers. Lunch (two burgers and 4 beer was $65). Gratuity is included on most bills. We stopped at the local market to pick up a few items and then cabbed it back to the house. Walking on Bermudian roads that don't have sidewalks (sidewalks are typically only found in town), is an experience in itself!!!! My husband and I would walk most mornings, but it is really not recommended. That evening we dined at the Coral Beach Club's seafood buffet. Dinner was served on the terrace and a live band played soft music in the background. Later in the evening, quite a few couples would dance. Coral Beach is a member's club, but an old establishment itself. Perched on cliffs, it is quite a site to see. One of the taxi drivers told us they will be investing quite a bit of money in it to expand. The girls giggled at the odd color jackets and Bermudian shorts a lot of the gentlemen were wearing (lime green and pink!). Our waiter "Chummy" was from Sri Lanka and very friendly.
Day 7 - Our last full day on the Island and quite sad about it. We spent the morning lounging by the pool and taking in a little more sun. We walked to Devonshire Bay beach to see if we could purchase some fresh reef fish, but to our dismay, no fisherman were there (we missed them Wed and Thurs). Around 2, we headed to the Crystal Caves and the girls did a tour. We shopped in the well appointed gift store and then relaxed with a cold drink at the cafe. The Cafe's food looked excellent, and several cab drivers were dining there. The homemade fishcakes looked like ones my Mom used to make and the cook who sat and chatted with us confirmed they were the same recipe! We then wandered over to the Swizzle Inn to have a late lunch and a few drinks. The food was excellent and I have to say, some of the best we had.
Would I return to Bermuda - yes! I love the Island and its people. Although it is expensive, the strength of the Canadian dollar doesn't hurt. The first time we visited, I think our dollar was in the 50 cent range. The one thing the girl's were amazed at was the lack of fast food restaurants - there is only one KFC on the Island.

Christmas Bears
Hi Everyone! Just wanted to share another obsession... bears! :o) Here are a few close-ups of my Christmas Bear "Village". It's always a joy to bring out the bears each year and watch our kids get excited as we set this scene up, adding a few pieces each year. Hmmmm...I haven't added a bear yet this year! I had better start looking! LOL Enjoy! Bear Hugs! Kirk
The blue "tree" was made by my Grandma when I was little...over 40 years ago. Had to add it to the scene. :o)
Kirk...your bear village is so very CUTE! Where's the cabin? I think you need a cabin like this light-up one I found in MN vacationing a few yrs back! Got our DS one, too for his Northwoods! Maybe you can build one!
Have fun finding a new bear for Christmas! I bet the kids love, love playing with these happy fellas! TFS! Jeanne S.
1st thing I noticed was how well dressed your bears are lots of long scarves & nice hats so they are beary warm at your house!! The snowlady bear is so sweet with her family!!I love the truck & Jeanne is right, you need to build a little cabin like hers. Jan
Kirk, nice to see you are still decorating at your house! I love bears and your Winter Bears collection is wonderful. Your truck looks like it was made to go with them. Love the license plate, door sign. tree and bears on it.
Enjoyed seeing your blue tree. Love the fact that you've kept it all these years. So Special knowing DGM made it. Careful, your telling your age talking about it.lol
Jeanne's cabin would go nice with your bear collection.
Wow! Thank you all for your kind comments! You TRULY made my day! Jeanne, love the idea of a lit cabin. I've been trying to think of ways to add more lighting. I'm also going to add a small, round mirror for a pond. Thanks again, everyone! Have a BEARY, Merry Christmas!
We're off to the Santa Cruise tomorrow on a local lake in Northern Idaho. It is always so fun for the kids (and adults)! A Christmas lit cruise ship will take us to Santa's Island at the "North Pole" where everything is all lit up, Christmas music is playing, and Santa comes out with Mrs. Clause to greet the kids! It's MAGICAL! :o) Our 3 year old is soooo excited...and so am I!!!

It is obvious that the discourse around content regulation has shifted mostly towards the protection of children from harmful content and child pornography on the internet. Any references to gender-related concerns were dropped, including even problematic conceptions that women and children need the paternalistic protection of the state or international bodies from harmful content. One can speculate that this could possibly mean (in a positive sense) that women are no longer viewed only as "victims" and because of their own agency do not require the protectionist attitude of the state. Or, on the other hand, women's movements, feminists and others working on gender have encountered and realised the hazards of demanding protection from the state, in the interests of their own freedom of expression and because of their alliances with civil society, non-governmental organisations and social movements.

In 1724, twelve-year-old Rachel and her friend Sally discover a pirates' hiding place on a deserted island near Charles Town, South Carolina, and they suspect it may be connected to the woman who will soon become Rachel's stepmother.
March 16, 1724
Twelve-year-old Rachel Howell leaned over the lee rail of the Betsy Jo and watched the white foam churning away from the ship's path like flowing cream. She gazed out over the great expanse of ocean that stretched before her as far as she could see. Somewhere out there was the coast of North Carolina, wild and mostly uninhabited—unless you counted Indians and pirates. And farther south—Rachel turned to look toward the starboard bow— was South Carolina and Charles Town, their destination.
"You shall love Charles Town," Rachel's father had promised in his letters. "You shall soon feel more at home here than you ever did in the city of New York." Rachel wasn't so sure about that. She'd overheard her grandparents call Charles Town "barely civilized." Rachel had lived with them in New York for the past seven years, ever since her mother died and her father went to Carolina to start a new life. Although her grandparents were remote and physically frail, their stately residence was the only home Rachel could remember.
A month ago, however, Rachel's father had sent for her to join him, hinting of some "wonderful news" he would tell her when she arrived. So here Rachel was, aboard the Betsy Jo, accompanied only by her grandfather's trusted slave Roland, bound for a strange place and a home with a father she barely knew. She wanted to go, of course—she had always dreamed of living with her father—but she couldn't help feeling scared and apprehensive. She had no idea what to expect in Charles Town.
Rachel listened to the slap and swish of water against the sides of the ship. How quickly the sea raced past; how boldly the Betsy Jo ran up and down the swell of each new wave and plunged into the next. "If only I could be so confident," Rachel muttered, as she fingered the teardrop pearl pendant around her neck. The necklace had been her mother's. Rachel wore it all the time and often fiddled with it when she felt nervous or insecure.
"Ah, there you are, Miss Rachel." It was Roland. Rachel hadn't noticed him coming up behind her. "I've looked all about the ship for you. To whom are you talking?"
Rachel turned to face the old black man who was more a friend than a servant. "Oh, no one, Roland. I was just wondering what Charles Town would be like."
"Different from anything we've ever seen, I imagine. Might be a little like New York harbor, maybe, but mostly different, missy, mostly different." He paused, leaned on the railing, and looked out across the water. "'Tis hot there, missy. That's all I know."
Rachel sighed. "I hope 'tis not too different. Nor too hot." She was watching the flickering crescents of sunlight on the waves. Then she thought she saw something white on the horizon, something more than just a crescent. "Look," she said to Roland, pointing into the distance. "What is that?"
Roland turned in the direction she pointed, but he didn't have a chance to answer her question.
"Sail on the starboard bow!" the lookout sang from the crow's nest high in the ship's rigging. And a moment later: "She's tall, Cap'n, and armed heavy!"
Rachel looked up at the poop deck where the captain was gazing through his spyglass at the ship that was now visible and coming toward them. The first mate was pacing back and forth on the poop deck, talking to the captain.
"She's changed course," Rachel heard the captain say. "I think she's after us. We'll try to run for it." The captain gave the order for every sail to be unfurled. Suddenly the ship's crew were everywhere, racing to obey, their feet thudding on deck, arms and legs scrambling into the rigging to hoist the sails.
Rachel glanced at Roland with alarm. "What's afoot? Why is the ship chasing us?"
Roland's expression was grave. He nodded out toward the tall ship steadily gaining on the Betsy Jo. "'Tis a pirate ship, Miss Rachel. And it means to take us as a prize."
Rachel's mouth went dry. "What will happen if it should overtake us?"
"I can't venture to say. Pirates are a bad lot, though some are worse than others. We may be lucky."
"You mean we may get away?"
Roland, staring at the fast-approaching ship, shook his head slowly. "I don't think so, Miss Rachel. But we may get away with our lives."
Rachel didn't know for how long a time the Betsy Jo fled and the pirates pursued. It seemed hours, though it must have been much less, for the sun scarcely moved. The captain shouted and cursed, the crew scurried about like so many mice, and Rachel stood with Roland, clutching the rail, and stared, her heart beating like the wings of a bird, as the pirate ship came closer and closer. At last it drew near enough for Rachel to see it clearly. The ship was taller than the Betsy Jo, two-masted and painted black with a white band all around. On its bulwark Rachel saw swivel guns and cannons, and from a spar its pirate flag, the Jolly Roger, snapped in the wind. Finally the ship came so close that Rachel could see the pirates on board, and one, who had to be the captain, with his chin up and his eyes blazing, called out: "Heave to!"
With a grinding and crashing the two vessels locked. Rachel's stomach turned as the pirates boarded the Betsy Jo. They wore loose-fitting duck trousers and long knives strapped to their hips. Some had earrings; some were barefoot. All were sunburned and rough-looking. Rachel shrank back against Roland as the pirates pushed the two of them along with the other passengers into the captain's cabin. One pirate guarded the door, while the others proceeded to transfer the Betsy Jo's cargo into their own vessel.
A few of the passengers whispered among themselves, but Rachel was much too frightened to think of talking. Outside she heard the bumps and thuds of barrels and boxes coming up from the ship's hold, and the bark of voices and the heavy tramp of feet. Silently she prayed that the Betsy Jo's cargo would be rich enough to satisfy the pirates, that they would leave the ship without bothering the passengers. Through the cabin's small windows she could see the sun beginning to set, turning the ocean red. The water's reflection hit the ceiling like dancing flames and gave the room an eerie glow. An omen, Rachel told herself, and she tried hard to make herself believe it was for good and not for bad.
At last the noises outside quieted. "Are they gone?" Rachel whispered to Roland. Roland shook his head, put a finger to his lips, and pointed to the window directly across from them. Rachel glanced that way and gasped. The pirate captain was looking right back at her through the window, his gaze as cold as the depths of the sea. Rachel stifled the scream that sprang to her throat and jerked her eyes away as if they'd been burned. "Oh, Roland," she said, "why does he stare so?"
"Figuring what to do with us, I would guess. To rob us, or—"
"Pray, don't say it," Rachel cut him off, terrified at the picture of violence that had jumped to her mind. She grasped Roland's hand tightly. "They must leave us alone. I must reach Charles Town. I must see Papa."
Roland nodded, but his lips were drawn tight.
Then Rachel heard voices growling outside the door. The latch rattled and the door swung open. Two pirates stood in the doorway. One of them was the pirate captain. Rachel watched his cold eyes sweep across the room of frightened passengers. "Lord help us!" one of the women wailed, and the child in her arms began to cry. Rachel herself was so scared she could hardly breathe.
"What is it you want of us?" a man spoke up.
For a long time the pirate captain, his face impassive, stared at the man. Rachel's eyes, against her will, dropped to the cutlass at the pirate's side; then she quickly looked away, as if her gaze might remind the pirate of his sword. After endless minutes the pirate spoke. "Ah, what do I want of ye?" His voice was deep and laced with brogue. "Your jewelry, shoe buckles, coins, weapons. Anything of value." He paced across the room, scanning the knot of passengers. "Give your trinkets to my mate, and I won't let him harm ye."
Then, to Rachel's horror, the pirate captain stopped right in front of her. Roland pulled Rachel toward himself. "She's but a girl. Let her be," Roland said.
"I won't touch her if she hands over that necklace," the pirate said.
Unconsciously Rachel's fingers flew to her pendant. Her father had given it to her mother on their wedding day, and it was all Rachel had of her mother's. How could she turn it over to pirates? Rachel felt Roland's hands on her shoulders. "Give him the necklace, Miss Rachel." Roland's voice was gentle but firm.
Rachel felt sick, but with her hands trembling, she reached back to unfasten the necklace. Her fingers brushed across the broken pearl near the clasp as she undid it, and a lump rose in her throat. She felt as if she were giving away a part of herself. She dropped the necklace into the pirate's outstretched hand. He nodded, closed his fingers around Rachel's precious pendant, then tossed it indifferently to his mate, who had finished collecting valuables from the other passengers. One woman was crying over the loss of her brooch. Part of Rachel felt like crying, too, but another part felt only loathing for the pirates and their robbery. Then, without another word, the pirates backed out the door and were gone. There was more shouting outside, heavy footsteps, then stillness.
"I think they are gone now," Roland murmured to Rachel. "Are you well enough?"
Rachel was shaking, and a nod was all she could manage. She felt wretched over her pendant, but she knew that wasn't what Roland meant.
As if reading her thoughts, Roland patted Rachel's arm and said, "Better your necklace than your life, missy."
"Yes," said the woman who had been crying over her brooch. She sniffed and wiped her tears with her handkerchief. "At least we're all alive."
"Let us hope our captain and crew are in the same state," said a man. He and some of the other male passengers ventured out to investigate. They found the captain and crew locked in the ship's hold but unharmed.
Since the pirates had done no damage to the Betsy Jo, the ship lay at anchor for the night and resumed its journey in the morning. On the following day, Rachel watched the shore of South Carolina come into view, green and welcome as paradise. Rachel wanted nothing more than to feel her feet steady on solid ground and to look into her father's face.
It was early afternoon when the Betsy Jo finally reached Charles Town. The town was situated on a peninsula between two rivers, the Cooper and the Ashley. The harbor was on the Cooper River and deep enough for the Betsy Jo to sail right up to the dock. Rachel's first view of her new home was of ships' masts poking up everywhere, swaying back and forth as the ships moved with the current. The wharf was lined with warehouses and jammed with people, both black and white—sailors and laborers, slaves, passengers and merchants, people coming and going, standing, hurrying, loading and unloading. And all around and in and out, various vehicles made their way through the crowd: drays and barrows, lumbering sledges and handcarts.
When Rachel stepped with Roland off the Betsy Jo's gangway onto the quay, she felt she'd be smothered, either by the throngs of people or by the close-pressing heat, unstirred by ocean breezes she'd felt onboard the ship. When she'd left New York, there was snow on the ground. Here the damp, unmoving air weighed upon her like a mound of woolen blankets. And it was only March. What would it be like, she wondered, when summer arrived?
A host of smells seemed to jump out at her: hot tar, sour mud, rotting fish, and, most of all, sweat. Everywhere there was sweat, glistening on the faces of people hurrying by, dripping from the backs of slaves loading barrels of rice onto a ship. Already tiny beads of perspiration showed on Roland's forehead.
"One thing you were right about," she said to Roland. "'Tis indeed hot." Rachel squinted against the bright sunlight and let her eyes run over the crowd. "How shall we ever find my father amidst all these people?"
"I imagine your papa will find you," Roland said, "if we stay here near the Betsy Jo."
At that very moment, a tall man in a bright blue broadcloth coat squeezed his way between a knot of chatting women and some bundles of staves stacked on the wharf. The man looked right at Rachel and Roland, then up at the Betsy Jo, and a puzzled expression came over his face. Rachel felt a rush of breathlessness. Was this Papa? It had been so long since she'd seen him.
The man approached them hesitantly. Rachel's heart gave a little jump. "Papa?" she said, feeling suddenly shy.
"Rachel?" A spark came to the man's eyes. "Rachel!" He strode forward and clasped his arms around her. "Oh, 'tis fine to see you!"
With her father's embrace, Rachel's shyness departed, and her words tumbled out. "Oh, Papa, 'tis wonderful to see you, too. But, Papa, I lost Mama's necklace. It has near broke my heart."
Mr. Howell's face fell. "Oh, surely not. That necklace meant so much to your mother."
"I beg your pardon, sir," said Roland, "but she didn't really lose it. It was stole by pirates."
"You were attacked by pirates?" Mr. Howell's brows drew up in concern. "And you escaped unharmed. Everyone did, I imagine?" He looked at Roland.
"Yes, sir. They robbed us clean, but all are fine."
"Well, thank God for that. Pirates and Charles Town have had a long history together. Blackbeard, Stede Bonnet, Richard Worley—they've all tried a hand at terrorizing us. Once Blackbeard blockaded the entire harbor and held our most prominent citizens for ransom. But that was more than five years ago, and since then our government has cracked down hard on piracy. The council tried and hanged forty-nine pirates in one month alone."
"Are there so very many pirates in these waters, Papa?" asked Rachel.
"Not only on the waters, daughter, but in the town itself. Pirates are suffered by the merchants and townsfolk alike for the money they spend. The rascals are not nearly as bold as they once were. Still, they're a threat to shipping, as you saw." Then his voice changed to a much warmer tone. "Enough of pirates. 'Tis sad you've lost the pendant, but you're here at long last, and safe." Mr. Howell put his arm around Rachel and squeezed. "'Twill be wonderful having you with me, my dear."
Rachel was too happy to speak. She couldn't believe she had ever worried about this moment. It felt so natural to be with her father. It was as if they had never been separated. Then Mr. Howell said something that brought Rachel up short.
"We shall be a family, all of us."
Rachel stared at her father, not sure she had heard correctly. "All of us?"
Mr. Howell, with a glint in his eye, smiled. "That's the news of which I wrote you. I'm engaged to be married. You're to have a new mother."CHAPTER 2
Rachel felt as if the breath had been knocked out of her. She'd thought she was to have Papa back, all to herself, after so many years apart. Tears welled in Rachel's eyes, but she blinked them back. "When, Papa?" she managed to choke out, then, almost as an afterthought, she added, "To whom?"
"In late June, to a young lady from Philadelphia named Miranda LeBoyer. But she's coming to Charles Town much sooner, in a matter of weeks."
"Oh." Rachel didn't know what else to say.
"Miranda and her aunt will be staying with us until the wedding. 'Twill be a chance for you and Miranda to become acquainted." Mr. Howell looked very pleased with these arrangements, and Rachel did her best to hide her burning disappointment.
"Just think, my dear," Mr. Howell went on happily, "what it will be like to have a mother again. I wanted to provide that for you before I brought you here." He patted Rachel's hand. "You shall soon grow to care for her as much as I do."

Since her mother's death when she was just five years old, Rachel Howell has lived with her grandparents in the city of New York. The year is 1724, and Rachel is now twelve. Her father has finally sent for her, and she must make the sea journey from New York to Charles Town, South Carolina. When the ship is almost at its destination, pirates attack, and Rachel loses her most precious possession, a necklace that had belonged to her mother. When she finally arrives in Charles Town, Rachel is thrilled to finally be reunited with her father, but is devastated by the news that he plans to remarry and that his fiance, Miranda LeBoyer, will be arriving soon from Philadelphia. Rachel makes two friends, Sally and Todd, whose mother runs an inn. But at Miss LeBoyer's urging, Rachel's father forbids her to see her friends because they are from a lower class. Rachel and Sally decide to meet in a secret place, a small island near the city that they name Skull Island because they believe a pirate's treasure may be hidden there. After Rachel's father loses his fortune in a bad business deal, the friends begin to believe that his misfortune may have been caused by Miss LeBoyer, who is keeping a secret about his partner in the investment. I highly reccomend this book to young readers who enjoy historical fiction.

Mystery on skull island is my favorite of all the History Mysteries. The book begins with Rachel Howell on her way from New York to the hot, southern village of Charles Town to live with her father. While there she befriends a tavern keepers daughter who helps Rachel solve the mystery on Skull Island. The adventure starts while she is on board the Betsy Jo with her Grandfathers servant Roland. This book contains lieing pirates, narrow escapes, and many exciting happenings. There is never a dull moment while reading this suspenseful book.Was this review helpful?

Submited by- Team Sitagita on 22 Aug, 2011 LIFESTYLE TRAVEL & DINING
In the continuing saga of national apathy towards our history, "Smaraniyo bichar sangraha" (museum for memorable judicial cases) at the judges court in Calcutta is in the dock due to lack of adequate funds for its upkeep.
Among the hoary historical facts connected with this Museum are that it was once the residence of Sir Elijah Impey. Firebrand freedom fighter Aurobindo Ghosh was tried here for the Manicktala bomb case. The original courtroom witnessed the convictions of other great revolutionaries like Barin Ghosh, Ullahaskar Dutta, Sisirkumar Ghosh and 33 others by Judge C. P. Beechchroft.
Its three rooms contain original documents of a number of cases relating to the freedom struggle and important civil cases. Priceless documents bearing testimony to India`s independence struggle are in danger of being lost to the ravages of time and lack of money. The `agnipath` section has a large number of photographs, the 1935 order for attachment of the property of Subhash Chandra Bose, papers of Kumagatamaru case and the order for execution of Dinesh Chandra Gupta.
Though some money has been given by the national archives and help has been received from Aurobindo Research Centre, Nehru Museum and National Library, there remains a lot to be done if these priceless documents are to be preserved for posterity.

"Music is the storytelling of life."- Lisa Matassa
The success of Lisa Matassa's most-recent CD, SOMEBODY'S BABY, and a string of high-profile appearances have elevated a once regionally-prominent artist to national acclaim. The Long Island-based songstress has appeared on Hallmark Channel's MARIE Show, made her debut at the historic Ryman Auditorium and performed during the 2013 CMA Music Festival. This energetic Queen of Long Island Country shared the stage with luminaries like Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, George Strait, Blake Shelton and Kid Rock during a sold-out, star-studded tribute to the late, great George Jones at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena last November. Lisa lent her voice to a group effort on "The Love in Your Eyes," and delivered a solo rendition of the Jones classic "Walk Through This World With Me" at Nancy Jones' request
Matassa's reach grew throughout the year; she entertained huge crowds at up-state New York's Taste of Country Festival, hosted 650 AM WSM's Guest Artist Series, and became a sought-after entertainer at sporting events nationwide. She made her Major League Baseball debut when she performed the National Anthem at the Arizona Diamondbacks vs Los Angeles Dodgers in 2013. Additional performances of "The Star Spangled Banner" quickly followed, from Citifield in Flushing Meadows, NY (New York Mets vs Atlanta Braves) to Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the opening ceremony of the 2013 RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship Final. That event aired globally on-air (The Golf Channel) and online – giving Matassa exposure in over 120 million homes.
Lisa's hit song and video, "Somebody's Baby," took her to the Top 40 on both the Billboard Indicator and MusicRow charts.
Not bad stats for a woman in a highly-competitive and diverse business. "I've been singing my whole life, and I dreamed of becoming a professional musician when I was just eight years old," Lisa recalls. "Music has always been a huge part of my life. I knew a long time ago that this is what I was going to do - no matter what it took."
While jetting around the country for performances and interviews took up most of her time in 2013, this year Lisa's focus has shifted a bit. "I've been really busy writing songs for my next CD," she notes. "And I've been blessed to do it with some of Nashville's most talented songwriters." Among the tunesmiths "woodshedding" with Lisa are Frank Myers ("I Swear," "I'm Already There," "You And I," "Once In A Lifetime"), Grammy Award-nominee Jim Femino ("Just Got Started Lovin' You," "Hello," "Die With Your Boots On"), Mike Shimshack ("Giddy On Up," Laura Bell Bundy), Brent Rader, Garen Gueyikian, Scott Stepakoff, Lauren Adelle and others. Matassa has a strong track record; she co-wrote her most recent single, "I Won't Ask," with her guitarist Colin Smith and Tony Bruno, the producer of her SOMEBODY'S BABY CD
Lisa never imagined the twists and turns her career would take before she arrived at this point. Operatically trained as a child and with a resonantly powerful Pop voice, Lisa recorded two Top-10 Dance singles before she was 20. The songs were huge hits in the U.S. and abroad, earning her performing slots on concerts with acts Taylor Dayne, Brenda K. Starr and TKA.
"I was born in New York but raised in Florida," Lisa explains. "I was exposed to all kinds of music, but my favorites were Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Johnny Cash." Matassa may have capitalized on the Dance craze, but her heart has always been steadfastly Country. With the recent "Rockification" of the Country genre, Lisa realized that she could blend the natural heartfelt soul of Country with her own stylized brand of big city edge. SOMEBODY'S BABY was Lisa's third genre-focused project, following 2011's ME TIME and 2012's SUNRISE HIGHWAY. The "Me Time" video shot to Number One on CMT's charts shortly after its release, and her version of the revered, "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)," also topped the chart and remained in the Top Five on CMT's 2011 holiday chart. It's obvious that Matassa has found the perfect fit for her voice and her personality - and her music is now resonating with fans on a global scale.
"No one would think a girl from Long Island would want to sing Country music," Lisa laughs, "but I live on an island with almost eight million people, and there are so many Country fans now that the timing just seems right." Although she's heard the axiom that you need to be in "Music City" to have a successful career, Lisa views the fact that she lives outside Nashville as an artistic advantage. She loves to cook and spend quality time with her husband and her two teenage children.
As Matassa puts it, "I want people to say, okay, here's a woman who is not your typical 20-something, recording artist--this woman is actually singing about what happens after you meet your Prince Charming, after you walk through that fairy tale of a relationship and you realize now you're married and now there are children and now there are bills and things you have to do. I really just want to have songs that people could relate to on a different level."
Lisa believes that ultimately success comes down to the song. "I don't think Country fans care where you live or your age," she explains. "You have to be able to evoke an emotion in a listener so they can say: "wow, she knows how I feel, she's been there too. Oh, and by the way, who is she?'"
Actually, that "who is she" question has now been answered. Lisa is generating hits - bringing great songs and dynamic vocals along as her standard. She's charming everyone who hears her music or meets her in person - from tastemakers to fans ... and she's drawing the attention of industry's movers and shakers as well. She has opened shows for Lady Antebellum, Dierks Bentley, LeAnn Rimes, Thompson Square, Eric Church, Ronnie Dunn and Lee Brice, which has helped to boost her social media numbers.

PBS Hawaii closes on property purchase
PBS Hawaii's purchase of the former headquarters of commercial television station KHNL closed this week.
The nonprofit broadcaster paid $5.2 million for the building at the corner of Nimitz Highway and Sand Island Access Road. The seller was W&C Investments, LLC, which was represented by John Kobayashi of VIP Investments, Inc. Scott Gomes of CB Richard Ellis represented PBS Hawaii in the transaction, which closed on Monday.
PBS Hawaii decided to purchase the 45,000 square-foot Nimitz property, which was known as the KFVE site for KHNL's sister television station, after failing to secure a longterm lease from landlord University of Hawaii.
PBS Hawaii has been leasing the 28,000 square-foot space near the corner of Dole Street and University Avenue since it became an independent nonprofit organization in 2000. An extension to its original lease expired in 2007, and PBS Hawaii has been on a month-to-month lease since last year.
The new building will undergo extensive renovations — which may include constructing an entirely new building — because the existing 10,000 square-foot building is nearly two-thirds smaller than what PBS Hawaii has at the UH campus.
PBS Hawaii still must sell another property on Kalakaua Avenue that the Hawaii Public Television Foundation purchased five years ago, as well as mount a capital campaign, to fund construction.
The foundation bought the 28,761-square-foot vacant parcel between the Hard Rock Cafe and the Ala Wai Canal for more than $2.4 million in November 2003, with the idea of using the site for a new headquarters. Last spring it listed the property with CB Richard Ellis for $6.1 million.
KHNL's news department moved to its new home on Waiakamilo Road in December.

Greetings fellow Rotarians!
Happy Spring! As you and your clubs are working in your community this month, think of ways to include Rotary's March theme of literacy. Maybe you're reading to school children, delivering dictionaries to 3rd graders, or donating a book to a local school as a speaker gift. Whatever path you take, keep up the good work!
Several important events are rapidly approaching. Please continue to share these dates with your club members and don't miss out on all the fun!
Here are the activities for the district conference. Please let us know...
In Rotary, we have the opportunity to build bonds of friendship with fellow Rotarians around the world. And once a year, at our international convention, we have the chance to get together with all of our Rotary friends, to share new ideas, plan new service, and just have fun.
What better way to celebrate the end of the 2014-15 Rotary year, and Light Up Rotarywith your friends, than to travel together to the 106th annual Rotary International Convention in São Paulo, Brazil? Whether you have never been to a convention before or are...
District Governor Michelle Schaefer's March newsletter is now available online HERE.
Are you looking for ways to show your Rotary pride!? Take a look at our District Resources page and download high res graphics to include in your emails or your social media pages such as Facebook or Twitter. Visit District Resources HERE.
Hopefully you have heard about the major new improvements to the Rotary membership dues payment process hat will take effect with your January 2015 invoice (details below). To ensure that our transition to the new system is smooth and efficient, we are encouraging all clubs to submit their semiannual payments for the current July 2014 period as soon as possible. Starting in January 2015, your club secretary will receive a one-page invoice that clearly states the amount due (if your club has chosen email as the preferred delivery method, all club officers that have reported email addresses will receive a copy of the invoice). This document will replace the eight-page report that you have received in the past. Your club's semiannual dues payment will be calculated from the membership numbers that your club's secretary has filed by 1 January or 1 July each year at Rotary.org, via email or regular mail. You will no longer need to recalculate your amount due or make any changes to your invoice. In addition to simplifying the dues payment procedure, the new system will enable us to provide new Rotarians with a Rotary welcome kit much sooner and help make your new club members appreciate the privileges of membership promptly.
To learn more about how the new system will work and better understand the changes that are planned, we encourage you and your fellow members to take a moment and visit Rotary.org/clubinvoice. For example, under the new system, the time period for submitting dues payments will be reduced to 120 days, and the procedures for termination and reinstatement will be different. You can email any questions, comments, or concerns to firstname.lastname@example.com. You also will find useful information on the Club Administration page at My Rotary.
The general liability (GL) and directors & officers / employment practices liability (D&O/EPL) insurance policies provided to all U.S. Rotary Clubs & Districts have been renewed for the next Rotary year: 1 July 2014-15.
The 2014-15 certificate of insurance providing proof of GL insurance is now posted on the Insurance Information Portal. For events scheduled on or after 1 July 2014, U.S. Rotarians are encouraged to go to the Insurance Information Portal to obtain the certificate of insurance as needed. The instructions on how to complete the certificate of insurance have been updated for greater clarity.
While our annual update won?t likely be sent until August/September, please note there is one important insurance coverage change relating to events with fireworks that we need help communicating to U.S. clubs within your district. Going forward, U.S. Clubs should not enter into any contract (or any other agreement) with any pyrotechnics company or any other company that detonates fireworks. To be clear, this does not impact any 2014 event with fireworks where the contract has already been signed. After the 4th of July weekend, RI Risk Management will be contacting clubs that we know have contracts with pyrotechnics companies.
Because of the high risk exposure (possibility of numerous claimants with severe injuries), our insurance companies are no longer comfortable providing coverage to clubs that sign contracts with pyrotechnics companies. However, vicarious liability coverage will continue for clubs that sponsor or are otherwise involved with events that include fireworks, so long as a different party signs the contract with the pyrotechnics company. Please note that insurance didn?t and still won?t apply to clubs who directly transport, deliver, store, set up, detonate, or clean up fireworks; however, the legal sale of pre-wrapped fireworks supplied by a licensed third party for fund raising purposes has been and remains covered.
If you need a certificate, please contact Michelle Schaefer at email@example.com
