www.globalpost.com/dispatch/india/110208/east-india-company-tea-sanjiv-mehta NEW DELHI, India — Once upon a time, the East India Company toppled governments, enslaved peoples and staffed a private army and navy to rule the world of commerce — then dominated by tea, coffee and exotic spices. Now Sanjiv Mehta, a 48-year-old British Indian businessman, believes it's time for the ultimate symbol of colonial oppression to make a comeback — you guessed it, as a luxury brand. "Wealth is moving from the West to the East, and all the luxury brands are typically brands which originated in the West," Mehta told GlobalPost. "[in that context] the East India Company is an interesti…

I am almost finished with the first book in Robin Hobbs Liveship Traders Trilogy "Ship of Magic". It is a fine read if you enjoy a little fantasy blended in with your sea adventure tales. Lots of detail and while I must admit to finding the main character rather boring (Althea) I do like the pirate captain. Any fans? Any who have knowledge of Robin Hobbs world?

Hey, all ye with wee pirates-in-training... Disney Channel has a new kiddie cartoon, "Jake and the Neverland Pirate". It's pretty cute. Something close to along the lines of Dora the Explorer. Again, a cute show for the kiddies. ~Lady B

Avast there fellow sea-dogs! Exciting news! Stoli vodka has selected me and my pirate persona Henry Martin as one of ten finalists for their next "Stoli Original" campaign. Now-- I know what some of you are thinking-- "pirates only drink rum! Arr! What are ya thinkin' lad?" But honestly, isn't that naught but ethnic profiling? Of course we drink rum, but we are worldy beings and of course would never turn down a fine shot of vodka! In fact, some of us may even prefer it! Anyway, you can check out the video audition here: [/url] I'm reaching out to the pirate community at large for it's support-- because- at any rate- we've got rum covered- so let's set sail and sha…

...on hold. Hopefully this will be a short wait but there are circumstances that must be fathomed before the project moves forward. Keep a weather eye out mates. May the squall pass on it’s way in jig time! (I think it will….)

I have two books coming in the mail via amazon I am curious to know some opinions of. The two books are "Silver" by Edward Chupack, and "The Pirate Primer" by George Choundas. Has anyone read them? Any thoughts? I am also curious about "Flint and Silver", but have neither read, nor ordered it as of yet.

In the kinda near future, I want to start working on a Steampunk sub-gattling gun... I've never really liked Steampunk "ray-guns"... but they do have the advantage of not being mistaken for a real gun... (I had that problem at Burning Man with my Dinosaur Hunting Rifle (see picture below) Anyway, I want something that looks steamy, but not too much like a real gun.... I will post pictures once I start working on it, but to start things off, here are some that I'm working on.... The Standard modified Nerf Maverick... Yeah, I know everyone paints them, I just wanted to play with one and change it a bit.... This is the Dino-Express before I finished it.... This was …

I came across this list for 15 Movies from Your Childhood to Re-watch with Your Kids and thought it was interesting that three of them are (more or less) pirate movies. Maybe four. Han is something of a pirate after all...

I have a list of things I already know the location of and am looking at, but I'm wondering, are there better stores? Here are the links for the items I'm looking at. Pocketwatch Badge Another Badge Aether Monitor Compass Goggles I intend to customize the goggles a bit. It has an elastic band and, although that's good for goggles, leather is preferable. What I intend to do is combine them, a short elastic piece will attach a leather strap at both it's ends to the goggles. I already have the base outfit decided on, it's a more traditional, and historically accurate, pirate outfit. A red swordsman's shirt, black drawstring pants, blue captain's coat, renaissance bo…

Hey, all you Airship Pyrates, time to head to Seattle. Never to early to plan for this November event. Here is the link to the SteamCon web site. More information is coming every month, and since the turnout was so amazing last year and they ran out of hotel rooms, they are incorporating two hotels this time. They are across the street from each other, so going from one place to another will be easy. So, get those airships ready to hit the sky, and plot a course for the great Northwest. And, in the words of Abney Park..."We're a crew of drunken pirates, we're the only airship pirates. We're full of hot air and we're startin' to rise, we're the terror of the skies but …

I've decided, with much gratitude to Patrick Hand, to start setting up a hopefully inexpensive workshop for making my steampunk equipment. Since I'll be just starting out with this for the most part, I thought I'd make a thread to discuss the tools and set up often used for these projects and perhaps projects that are similar. It's just forge discussion in general. So far, here is a list I have in no particular order of things to get and some things I already have. Propane Torch Dremel Grinder Propane Tank Drill Hammers Knives Carving tools Saw Anvil Workbench Some miscellaneous equipment for specific projects And red bull or coffee(caffeine fuels the imagination) Is…

ahoy all! I am guessing this is the best place for this. I was out at the International Attraction and Amusement Park Association Convention this week and took some pictures of some of the pirate things out there. Some of these are new and the vendors were trying to convince theme parks, arcades and attractions to purchase them, others may be a little familiar. And since I know some of you work in the industry, I have contact info on all of the things I saw. With the pirate fun things coming out you would think there is another pirate movie coming or something Pirate IAAPA Pictures

I use to play this game back in the day but I didn't feel it was great enough to pay $15. However when I saw this in my e-mail I figured Id share. "This e-mail is to inform you of upcoming changes to your Pirates of the Burning Sea™ ("PotBS") account. On or around November 22, 2010, PotBS will become a free to play game, with an optional monthly membership plan called the Captain’s Club at a cost of $14.99 per month (plus applicable taxes).

I figure instead of cluttering the Columbia's Revenge thread with typing about Airship Pyrates at Burning Man, I'd start a new thread... Later, if there is enough interest and as it get closer to Burning Man, I'll post this in the events thread... Last year, I went to Burning Man with the Bomb Bay Tea Co. and had a blast. But unlike Pyrates that plan what they are going to do for an event a year in advance,... So far, no one is posting anything about what we are going to do this year.... So to get the ball rolling, I'm starting to work on my camp gear for an Airship Pyrate... So some of this will be "How I made it" posts, and hopefully discussions with others that wan…
