Chocolate Banana Cream Cake RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 19 18
"My inspiration for this cake came from my desire to create a dessert combining my father's love for cake, my mother's love for chocolate and my love for bananas." It's divine!
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1-1/4 cups sugar
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1-1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups cold 2% milk
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant banana cream pudding mix
- 1 can (16 ounces) chocolate frosting
- 2 medium firm bananas, sliced
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks. Beat in the bananas, sour cream and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
- In a small bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter. Transfer to two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- For filling, in a small bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
- In a small bowl, beat frosting until light and fluffy. Place bananas in a small bowl; toss with lemon juice.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with 3 tablespoons frosting. Stir pudding; spread half over the frosting. Top with half of the bananas and the remaining cake layer. Repeat frosting, filling and banana layers. Frost sides and decorate top edge of cake with remaining frosting. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12 servings.

The author of a book about the DREAM Act is expected to discuss immigration reform at an event in Little Rock.
William A. Schwab is slated to talk about the DREAM Act on Monday. That legislation would offer citizenship to some young illegal immigrants. It narrowly passed the U.S. House before being defeated in the Senate in 2010.
Schwab is also expected to introduce two people who appear in his book, "Right to DREAM: Immigration Reform and America's Future."
The book explores immigration issues and advocates for the benefits of the DREAM Act.
Schwab is a professor of sociology and the former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas. The school's chancellor, G. David Gearhart, is expected to join Schwab on Monday.

Finland Travel guide
Finland : Michelin's recommendations
Finland, still unfamiliar to many, is as everyone knows not part of Scandinavia, but has many fans throughout Europe and, curiously, in Japan too! (newlyweds like to come to Finland on their honeymoon to observe the aurora borealis, said to increase fertility).
Finland is probably about to become the next trendy destination, especially if global warming continues to hold sway! With its forests and innumerable lakes all over the country, its untamed wilderness, reindeer, bear and wolves, Finland boasts fascinating, well-preserved natural landscapes, in summer and winter.
Despite their legendary melancholy, described with great humour by the excellent novelist Arto Paasilinna, its inhabitants have maintained a distinctive lifestyle, the universal symbol of which is the sauna - and every family must own one by a lakeside! Discretion, love of nature and civic-mindedness: the Finns resemble their Scandinavian neighbours in this regard, but distinguish themselves through their sense of self-deprecation and, above all, through the Finno-Ugric language.
Finland is renowned for its high level of education and mastery of cutting-edge technology, as attested by Nokia, world leader in the mobile phone industry. Finnish design has been famous since the early 1960s and is omnipresent in fields such as furniture, household electrical appliances and table arts. Helsinki, its capital, is a pleasure to visit.
Finland : Must-see towns and regions

Love Poem for Rémi Ochlik, the Late Photojournalist
Obituaries of photojournalists killed while covering conflicts reduce their lives to bare facts: where they are from, what stories they covered and for whom, and how they died. Often left out are the details of their personal lives, and the sense of loss to the people they leave behind.
But a moving portrait of Rémi Ochlik, who died on February 22, 2012 while covering the uprising in Syria, recently appeared online in the form of a poem called "Love letter to Rémi Ochlik." Written by his girlfriend, Emilie Blachère, it conveys something of the person Ochlik was, what inspired him, and how he loved.
Blachère ended up reading the poem aloud for a BBC broadcast. It is a reading that cuts to the heart, and it's worth sticking with it to the end: Even the BBC announcer who introduced the poem took several seconds to compose himself when Blachère finished reading.

Men's Hockey Starts Semester with a 5-2 Win Over Sacred Heart
PRINCETON, N.J. (1/27/13) - Junior Andrew Calof had a four-point night to lead the Princeton men's hockey team to a 5-2 win over Sacred Heart on Sunday, Jan. 27 at Hobey Baker Rink. The game was the Tigers' first in two weeks, after finals break.
Calof's four points on one goal and three assists matches his career high. Freshman Mike Ambrosia also had a career night with two goals and one assist.
Princeton took a 4-0 lead with two goals in each the first and second periods. Sacred Heart scored twice within two minutes early in the third before the Tigers expanded their lead with a goal midway through the final period.
"I was proud of the guys and the way they came out," Princeton head coach Bob Prier said. "They came out really hard for not having been really able to battle against each other and have real practices the last couple of weeks. They came out and looked like they didn't miss a beat. I'm proud of them and it was nice to see them put up some goals. All-in-all, it was a good game."
Junior Alec Rush scored his first career goal to give the Tigers the lead at 13:49. He and junior Jack Berger played catch along the right boards before Rush ripped a shot from the top of the circle that made its way through traffic and into the back of the net. Senior Rob Kleebaum was credited with the secondary assist.
Ambrosia scored his first of two goals less than two minutes later as the Tigers capitalized on their first power-play opportunity. Senior Michael Sdao fed Calof the puck on the left board. Calof charged across the ice and put the puck in the slot for Ambrosia, who promptly put it behind netminder Steven Legatto. Legatto would make 15 saves in the first period but would be replaced by Andrew Bodnarchuk for the second and third periods.
Princeton got two past Bodnarchuk in the first 2:38 of the second period. Calof scored 1:11 into the period when he got a Tom Kroshus rebound and put it between the pad and right post. Sophomore Tyler Maugeri converted the Tigers' second power-play chance with help from Calof and Ambrosia 1:27 later.
At the end of two periods Princeton held a 31-10 advantage in shots.
Sacred Heart had a couple of breakaway chances in the third period, when it outshot Princeton 11-7. Princeton netminder Sean Bonar made an incredible save on the Pioneers best scoring chance of the game at 4:19 of the third when he made a kick save on a breakaway by Nick Curry. Will Raynor ended Bonar's bid for a clean sheet when he scored at 5:28. Chad Barthelmess made it a two-goal game when he and Brian Sheehan went 2x1 with a goal at 6:56.
Ambrosia put the game out of reach with his second of the game, sniping the puck between Bodnarchuk and the left post. Calof and Sdao assisted on the goal.
Bonar finished the game with 19 saves and Bodnarchuk had 18.
Princeton was 2 for 3 on the power play and 1 for 1 on the penalty kill.
The Tigers improve to 7-8-4 overall and return to ECAC action this weekend, traveling to Yale and Brown.

Teachers work hard to challenge and improve the minds of their students, and it's important they feel appreciated. With the school year coming to a close, make sure your kids' favorite teachers know they've made a difference by thanking them with a personalized teacher gift. Sometimes a simple, heartfelt thank you is the best gift a person can receive.
Every student gives their teachers apples, but you can have your students give their teachers a gift that holds more meaning and can be cherished forever: a set of personalized note cards. A stylish card is the perfect way for your kids to express their gratitude at the end of the year. Plus, they're affordable, which means your students can hand out cards to as many teachers as they'd like without costing you an arm and a leg.
If the thought of writing a long message to every teacher in their school is daunting to your students, let them know that a simple thank you will do just fine. For their favorite teachers, students can also include a short line expressing how that teacher has impacted their life or why they liked that teacher the best. Your kids' teachers will be moved by the card and gesture of appreciation.

Seychelles is located in the Indian Ocean about 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) east of Kenya. The nation is an archipelago of 115 tropical islands with two distinct collections of islands, some comprised of granite and others of coral. The Mahe Group consists of 42 granite islands, all within a 56-kilometer (35-mi.) radius of the main island of Mahe. These islands are rocky, and most have a narrow coastal stripe and a central range of hills rising as high as 914 meters (3,000 ft.). Mahe is the largest island--9,142 sq. km (55 sq. mi.)--and is the site of Victoria, the capital. The coral islands are flat with elevated coral reefs at different stages of formation. They have no fresh water; human life can be sustained on them only with difficulty.
The climate is equable and healthy, although quite humid, as the islands are small and subject to marine influences. The temperature varies little throughout the year. Temperatures on Mahe vary from 240C to 29.90C (750F-850F), and rainfall ranges from 288 centimeters (90 in.) annually at Victoria to 355 centimeters (140 in.) on the mountain slopes. Precipitation is somewhat less on the other islands. During the coolest months, July and August, the temperature drops to as low as 700F. The southeast trade winds blow regularly from May to November, and this is the most pleasant time of the year. The hot months are from December to April, with higher humidity (80). March and April are the hottest months, but the temperature seldom exceeds 880F. Most of the islands lie outside the cyclone belt, so high winds are rare.
About 90% of the Seychellois people live on Mahe Island. Most others live on Praslin and La Digue, with the remaining smaller islands either sparsely populated or uninhabited.
Most Seychellois are descendants of early French settlers and the African slaves brought to the Seychelles in the 19th century by the British, who freed them from slave ships on the East African coast. Indians and Chinese (1.1% of the population) account for the other permanent inhabitants. In 2002, about 4,000 expatriates lived and worked in Seychelles. Of those, about 35 are American.
Seychelles culture is a mixture of French and African (Creole) influences. Creole is the native language of 94% of the people; however, English and French are commonly used. English remains the language of government and commerce.
About 88% of the adult population is literate, and the literacy rate of school-aged children has risen to well over 98%. Increases are expected, as nearly all children of primary school age attend school, and the government encourages adult education.
The Seychelles islands remained uninhabited for more than 150 years after they became known to Western explorers. The islands appeared on Portuguese charts as early as 1505, although Arabs may have visited them much earlier. In 1742, the French Governor of Mauritius, Mahe de Labourdonais, sent an expedition to the islands. A second expedition in 1756 reasserted formal possession by France and gave the islands their present name in honor of the French finance minister under King Louis XV. The new French colony barely survived its first decade and did not begin to flourish until 1794, when Queau de Quincy became commandant.
The Seychelles islands were captured and freed several times during the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, then passed officially to the British under the 1814 Treaty of Paris.
From the date of its founding by the French until 1903, the Seychelles colony was regarded as a dependency of Mauritius, which also passed from the French to British rule in 1814. In 1888, a separate administrator and executive and administrative councils were established for the Seychelles archipelago. Nine years later, the administrator acquired full powers of a British colonial governor, and on August 31, 1903, Seychelles became a separate British Crown Colony.
By 1963, political parties had developed in the Seychelles colony. Elections in 1963 were contested for the first time on party lines. In 1964 two new parties, the Seychelles Democratic Party (SDP) led by James Mancham, and the Seychelles People's Unity Party (SPUP) led by France Albert Rene, replaced existing parties.
In March 1970, colonial and political representatives of Seychelles met in London for a constitutional convention. Elections in November 1970 brought the resulting constitution into effect. In the November 1970 elections, the SDP won 10 seats, and the SPUP won 5 in the Legislative Assembly. Under the new constitution, Mancham became the Chief Minister of the colony.
Further elections were held in April 1974, in which both major political parties campaigned for independence. During the April 1974 elections, the SDP increased its majority in the Legislative Assembly by 3 seats, gaining all but 2 of the 15 seats. Demarcation of constituencies was such that the SDP achieved this majority by winning only 52% of the popular vote.
Following the 1974 election, negotiations with the British resulted in an agreement by which Seychelles became a sovereign republic on June 29, 1976. The SDP and SPUP formed a coalition government in June 1975 to lead Seychelles to independence. The British Government was asked to appoint an electoral review commission so that divergent views on the electoral system and composition of the legislature could be reconciled. As a result, 10 seats were added to the Legislative Assembly, 5 to be nominated by each party. A cabinet of ministers also was formed consisting of 8 members of the SDP and 4 of the SPUP, with Chief Minister Mancham becoming Prime Minister. With independence on June 29, 1976, Mancham assumed the office of President and Rene became Prime Minister.
The negotiations following the 1974 elections also restored the islands of Aldabra, Farquhar, and Des Roches to Seychelles upon independence; those islands had been transferred in November 1965 from Seychelles to form part of the new British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT).
Although the SDP/SPUP coalition appeared to operate smoothly, political divisions between the two parties continued. On June 5, 1977, during Mancham's absence at the London Commonwealth Conference, supporters of Prime Minister Rene overthrew Mancham in a smoothly executed coup and installed Rene as President. President Rene suspended the constitution and dismissed the parliament. The country was ruled by decree until June 1979, when a new constitution was adopted.
In November 1981, a group of mercenaries attempted to overthrow the Rene government but failed when they were detected at the airport and repelled. The government was threatened again by an army mutiny in August 1982, but it was quelled after 2 days when loyal troops, reinforced by Tanzanian forces, recaptured rebel-held installations.
At an Extraordinary Congress of the Seychelles People's Progressive Front (SPPF) on December 4, 1991, President Rene announced a return to the multiparty system of government after almost 16 years of one-party rule. On December 27, 1991, the Constitution of Seychelles was amended to allow for the registration of political parties. Among the exiles returning to Seychelles was James Mancham, who returned in April 1992 to revive his party, the Democratic Party (DP). By the end of that month, eight political parties had registered to contest the first stage of the transition process: election to the constitutional commission, which took place on July 23-26, 1992.
The constitutional commission was made up of 22 elected members, 14 from the SPPF and 8 from the DP. It commenced work on August 27, 1992 with both President Rene and Mancham calling for national reconciliation and consensus on a new democratic constitution. A consensus text was agreed upon on May 7, 1993, and a referendum to approve it was called for June 15-18. The draft was approved with 73.9% of the electorate in favor of it and 24.1% against.
July 23-26, 1993 saw the first multiparty presidential and legislative elections held under the new constitution, as well as a resounding victory for President Rene. Three political groups contested the elections--the SPPF, the DP, and the United Opposition (UO)--a coalition of three smaller political parties, including Parti Seselwa. Two other smaller opposition parties threw in their lot with the DP. All participating parties and international observer groups accepted the results as "free and fair."
Three candidates contested the March 20-22, 1998 presidential election--Albert Rene, SPPF; James Mancham, DP; and Wavel Ramkalawan--and once again President Rene and his SPPF party won a landslide victory. The President's popularity in elections jumped to 66.6% in 1998 from 59.5% in 1993, while the SPPF garnered 61.7% of the total votes cast in the 1998 National Assembly election, compared to 56.5% in 1993.
The president is both the chief of state and head of government and is elected by popular vote for a 5-year term. The Council of Ministers serves as a cabinet, and its members are appointed by the president. The unicameral National Assembly has 34 seats--25 elected by popular vote and 9 allocated on a proportional basis to parties winning at least 10% of the vote; members serve 5-year terms. The judicial branch includes a Court of Appeal and Supreme Court; judges for both courts are appointed by the president. The legal system is based on English common law, French civil law, and customary law.
Early presidential elections originally set for 2003 were called in August-September 2001. The government party (SPPF) once again prevailed, although the main opposition party, the Seychelles National Party--previously known as the United Opposition Party, headed by Wavel Ramkalawan--made a surprisingly strong showing and collected 46% of the total votes. The DP, headed by James Mancham, did not take part in the elections. Legislative elections held in December 2002 saw the SPPF retain a strong majority in the National Assembly, winning a total of 23 of the 34 seats. The SNP won 11.
During 2003, the President and the SPPF dominated the country through a pervasive system of political patronage, control over government jobs, contracts, and resources. The judiciary was inefficient, lacked resources, and was subject to executive interference. The government generally respected the human rights of its citizens; however, there were problems in some areas. President Rene and the SPPF continued to wield power virtually unchecked. Security forces detained citizens during weekends to avoid compliance with the constitution's 24-hour "charge or release" provision. The government sometimes infringed on citizens' privacy rights. There were some restrictions on freedom of the press. Women's rights were limited, and discrimination against foreign workers also was a problem.

Based on per capita income, the overall performance of the economy since independence must be considered satisfactory, with a seven-fold increase from some $1,000 per capita in 1976 to $7,600 today. The public sector, comprising the government and state-owned enterprises, dominates the economy in terms of employment (two-thirds of the labor force) and gross revenue. Public consumption absorbs over one-third of the gross domestic product (GDP). GDP growth in 2001 was 3.3%.
The economy rests on tourism and fishing. For 2000, the Central Bank estimates that the Seychelles economy grew by around 1.4% in real terms, despite a foreign exchange problem, which affected primarily the manufacturing industry. The economy's growth in 2000 was thanks largely to a rebound in the tourism industry and the strength of the fishing sector. In 2001, tourism accounted for about 12.7% of GDP, and the manufacturing and construction sectors, including industrial fishing, accounted for about 28.8%.
But the country's economy is extremely vulnerable to external shocks. Not only does it depend on tourism, but it imports more than 90% of its total primary and secondary production inputs. Any decline in tourism quickly translates into a fall in GDP, a decline in foreign exchange receipts, and budgetary difficulties. Furthermore, recent changes in the climate have greatly affected the tuna industry.
Tourism is one of the most important sectors of the economy. Employment, foreign earnings, construction, banking, and commerce are all dominated by tourism-related industries. Tourism arrivals, one of the two main indicators of vitality in the sector, grew by 4.1% in 2000. A strong marketing effort by the Seychelles Tourism Marketing Authority (STMA) and the introduction of several new five-star hotels seems to have spurred the growth. Officials hoped that new hotels on the drawing board and expanded airline service to the island would help offset the possibility of reduced global travel in the environment following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the U.S. In 2003, tourism earned $681.3 million. About 122,000 tourists visited Seychelles in 2003, 81.7% of them from Europe (U.K., Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland).
In 2000, there were encouraging performances in service sectors besides tourism, namely the telecommunications sector, where the boom in mobile services continues. According to the telecommunications division of the Ministry of Information Technology and Communication, one in every four Seychellois owns a mobile phone. In recent years, some port operations have been privatized, a trend that has been accompanied by a fall in transshipment fees and an increase in efficiency. Overall, this has sparked a recovery in port services following a drastic fall in 1994.
The Ministry of Finance is responsible for economic decisions and budgetary policy. A separate Monetary Authority supervises the banking system and manages the money supply. Although foreign banks operate branches in Seychelles, the government owns the two local banks--the Development Bank of Seychelles, which mobilizes resources to fund development programs, and the Seychelles Saving Bank, a bank for savings and current accounts. The commercial banking sector is presently made up of the following:
- Barclays Bank PLC;
- Mauritius Commercial Bank;
- Bank of Baroda;
- Habib Bank; and
- Seychelles International Mercantile Credit Banking Corporation (SIMBC) trading under the name "Nouvobanq".
The first four are branches of foreign banks, and the latter is a joint venture between the Seychelles Government and the Standard Chartered Bank African PLC. Commercial banks offer the full range of services.
Industry and Agriculture
Industrial fishing in Seychelles, notably tuna fishing, is an increasingly significant factor in the economy. In 2000, industrial fishing surpassed tourism as the most important foreign exchange earner. Earnings are growing annually from licensing fees paid by foreign trawlers fishing in Seychelles' territorial waters. In 1995, Seychelles saw the privatization of the Seychelles Tuna Canning Factory, 60% of which was purchased by the American food company Heinz Inc.
Agriculture (including artisanal and forestry), once the backbone of the economy, now accounts for only around 2.4% of the GDP. While the tourism and industrial fishing industries were on a roll in the late 1990s, the traditional plantation economy atrophied. Cinnamon barks and copra--traditional export crops--had dwindled to negligible amounts by 1991. There were no exports of copra in 1996; 318 tons of cinnamon bark was exported in 1996, reflecting a decrease of 35% in cinnamon bark exports from 1995. In an effort to increase agricultural self-sufficiency, Seychelles has undertaken steps to make the sector more productive and to provide incentives to farmers. Much of the state holdings in the agricultural sector have been privatized, while the role of the government has been reduced to conducting research and providing infrastructure.
Other industrial activities are limited to smallscale manufacturing, particularly agro-processing and import substitution. Despite attempts to improve its agricultural base and emphasize locally manufactured products and indigenous materials, Seychelles continues to import 90% of what it consumes. The exceptions are some fruits and vegetables, fish, poultry, pork, beer, cigarettes, paint, and a few locally made plastic items. Imports of all kind are controlled by the Seychelles Marketing Board (SMB), a government parastatal which operates all the major supermarkets and is the distributor and licensor of most other imports.
In 2002, Seychelles had a defense force (Seychelles People's Defence Forces) of about 800 army personnel, including 300 in the presidential protection unit. The army has one infantry battalion and two artillery elements. Paramilitary forces include a national guard consisting of 1,000 people and a coast guard estimated at 250 and divided into two divisions, the naval wing and security or infantry division.
The Seychelles Coast Guard (SCG), which was created in 1992, assumes many of the maritime roles commonly associated with the U.S. Coast Guard. They recently acquired responsibility for search and rescue for vessel incidents as well as environmental protection from the Port and Marine Services Division. SCG has four ship operational vessels: the Russian-built Fortune, the Italian-built Andromache, the Scorpio, and the luxury yacht Gemini that also is used as the presidential yacht. All of their vessels are past their life expectancy.
The air wing of the defense force separated from the coast guard in 1997 and does not have any dedicated aircraft, but it sometimes supplies pilots and aircrews to fly search and rescue missions. Their primary duty is to train pilots. The Island Development Corporation (IDC) maintains the pool of aircraft, using them for sources of income by chartering them out. The aircraft inventory includes one Caravan F-406, one Defender, one Cessna 150, and one Beech 1900.
Seychelles follows a policy of what it describes as "positive" nonalignment and strongly supports the principle of reduced superpower presence in the Indian Ocean. The Seychelles Government is one of the proponents of the Indian Ocean zone of peace concept, and it has promoted an end to the U.S. presence on Diego Garcia. Seychelles' foreign policy position has placed it generally toward the left of the spectrum within the Nonaligned Movement. The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, France, India, China, and Cuba maintain embassies in Victoria. Seychelles has an ambassador resident in New York dually accredited to the United Nations and to the United States and Canada. It also has a resident ambassador to France.
Seychelles is a member of the Nonaligned Movement (NAM), the African Union, Commonwealth, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Indian Ocean Commission (IOC), La Francophonie, and the UN and some of its specialized and related agencies.
The year 1963 marked the beginning of an official U.S. presence in Seychelles when the U.S. Air Force Tracking Station was built and put into operation on Mahe. The USAF Tracking Station facilities were situated on land that was leased from the Seychelles Government ($4.5 million annually). The station's complement consisted of five uniformed Air Force personnel (two officers and three sergeants), 65 employees of Loral Corporation and Johnson Instruments, and 150 Seychellois employees. The USAF Tracking Station officially closed down on September 30, 1996.
Peace Corps Volunteers served in Seychelles between 1974 and 1995. A U.S. consulate was opened in May 1976 and became an Embassy after Seychelles' independence in June 1976. The Embassy was subsequently closed in August 1996, and the United States opened a consular agency on September 2, 1996 to provide services to residents of Seychelles. The agency is under the supervision of the American Embassy in Port Louis, Mauritius. The U.S. Ambassador to Mauritius also is accredited to Comoros and Seychelles.

Sette Water Bottle Cage Bolts - Set Of 2
The Sette Water Bottle Cage Bolts are constructed of lightweight aluminum, and come 2 to a package. Weighing in at 1 gram per bolt, these guys will help you watch your weight while functioning perfectly on the frame.
These Bolts work great. They are light and attractive. They fit the hole snug. I use them to just plug the hole but they also hold a mean water bottle. You will definately get good use out of these for a stellar price.
Good bolts for when you lose one. Nothing really special but they work.

In the past, as a painter and sculptor, I have also created commissioned public art installations. Currently, as a photographer, I apply a painter's eye to the process of selecting, framing and composing the image. At seven years old, I had no problem hooking my own bait for the chance to fish with him on the pier. This among other independent actions, made my father proud of me and is one of the many memories of our sacred, silent bonding ritual. We stood patiently together with the water holding our gaze, our thoughts free to wander and ponder possibility in peaceful silence. Now I am exploring the ways in which some images penetrate a disarmed consciousness and bring forth an introspection of memories, feelings and possibilities.

You've hiked to the top of Diamond Head, snorkeled at Hanauma Bay, visited the gurgling remains of Pearl Harbor and walked barefoot on Waikiki Beach. Go ahead and check Honolulu off your bucket list. But don't say farewell to Oahu quite yet—a trip to the famed North Shore and the 50-year-old Polynesian Cultural Center is an island must.
Prepare to downshift from Honolulu's hectic pace when you reach Hawaii's North Shore.
The North Shore
An hour's drive across the island, the North Shore is a departure in mood and pace from the skyscrapers, freeways and crowded resorts in the capital city. Known for legendary swells, luring surfers from across the world, this seven mile stretch of white sand beaches offers a nature-rich environment on Hawaii's most populous island. A volcanic mountain range separates the North Shore from the rest of Oahu, bringing with it a wealth of unparalleled scenery from waterfalls and ancient temples to tree-covered trails freckled with thousands of species of shrubs and flowers.
There's only one major hotel on the North Shore, the Turtle Bay Resort, which sits on a peninsula at the northernmost tip of the island, surrounded by crystal clear waters and crashing waves. The resort opened its doors 42 years ago and last spring underwent a major renovation to its guest rooms, restaurants and spa, upping the chic factor and embracing an eco-conscious environment. Flanked by Turtle Bay and Kawela Bay, the resort has also drawn the attention of Hollywood with films like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Soul Surfer and the second installment of The Hunger Games using the resort as a backdrop.
Turtle Bay Resort is the North Shore's only resort.
If you're a surfer, this is the place to be. Hardcore locals and surfers from around the globe dot the waters surrounding the resort as waves swell to 20, 30, 40 and, sometimes, 50 feet. If you're not quite ready to get on the board, the North Shore is ripe with activities that put you in the center of the island's beauty, from kayaking alongside giant sea turtles, shoreline horseback rides, Segway and helicopter tours, golfing on Turtle Bay's two PGA courses and snorkeling amid brightly colored tropical fish in Shark's Cove (named for the shape, not the inhabitants).
The Polynesian Cultural Center
Seven miles down the road, through the charming surfer town of Kahuku, in La'ie, the Mormon Church-owned Polynesian Cultural Center opens its carved, wooden gates to a world replicating the rich history and culture of the islands pin pricking 12 million square miles of the Pacific Ocean. Although the center may be considered an amusement park, that label detracts from the attention to detail put into the cultural accuracy of each village, the daily evening luau and the impressive nighttime show, "Ha, the Breath of Life," which features more than 100 Polynesian natives from Samoa, Fiji, Hawaii, New Zealand, Tonga and Tahiti.
The center recruits its performers and employees from the adjoining Brigham Young University-Hawaii, allowing students to share their island cultures with visitors. Though you won't be aggressively proselytized, expect to be invited to learn more about the Mormon church.

Spend at least a day roaming from one traditional village representing a nation of islands to the next. By the end of the day, you'll be so well versed in each of the villages' traditions—from fireknife dancing in Samoa to the bamboo drums of Fiji and Tahitian spear throwing to Aotearoan warrior games—that the evening show will seem like a grand finale showcase of the center's most exciting activities.
Where to Eat
The dining scene on the North Shore is just about as laid back as the surfer scene surrounding it.
For breakfast: Hit local fave Hukilau Cafe (55-662 Wahinepee St., La'ie) for the egg-topped fried rice with a side of Spam.
For lunch: Stop at Kuhuku Grill (56-565 Kamehameha Highway, Kahuku) for the garlic shrimp or sister restaurant Seven Brothers (55-510 Palekana St., Laie) for the Poniolo Cowboy burger topped with grilled pineapple, bacon, BBQ sauce and onion rings.
For dinner: Head to Turtle Bay's beachside restaurant, Ola (57-091 Kamehameha Hwy., Kahuku), and order the locally sourced Misoyaki Butterfish served with Hamakua Ali'i mushrooms and baby bok choy.
For every day: Hawaiian shave ice from Aoki's (66-117 Kamehameha Highway, Haleiwa) or Matsumoto (66-087 Kamehameha Highway, Haleiwa). Flavors range from cherry to papaya and pickled mango. Act like a local and get the ice cream and azuki on the bottom.
