I've been through a few like that; honestly, none were a real surprise. Big black clouds, you know.
The first few were in small boats and I struggled with to much sail. But with a tight jib and a main traveled down, they are "manageable." After a few more I learned: reduce sail early! Struggling with too much sail up generally does not make you look like a wise sailor; it makes you look foolish for fighting nature. A boat with tight reefs, sailing under easy control, looks smart.
I'm not saying you need to go right for the engine, but be realistic about how much wind it "may" pack, reduce, and get on a tack that takes you somewhere safe.
In squalls I will generally roll the jib way in, since it's dangerous to the gear to fool with it once the wind hits, and the main cleared to drop quickly if that's what's needed. 40 knots is tough, but what if there had been an 80kt microburst in there? Your sail would be gone now.

Hydraulic mining at Malakoff Diggins, 1871. Photo courtesy of Bancroft Library. Carleton Watkins photo. Boomtown Scars -- Then and Now Geographer Draws Parallels Between 19th Century Mining Towns and Silicon Valley's "Golden Triangle" A campus expert on mining in the American West sees a strong parallel between mining boomtowns that sprang up throughout California and the West in the 1800s and today's Silicon Valley.
"When I look at Silicon Valley I see a typical mining landscape," said Gray Brechin, an architectural historian and geographer, in a Jan. 22 session at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Anaheim, Calif. "I see the same sort of development with little planning or sense of civic responsibility. (continues) |

A geochemical method to trace the taphonomic history of reworked bones in sedimentary settings
Trueman, C.N. and Benton, M.J. (1997) A geochemical method to trace the taphonomic history of reworked bones in sedimentary settings. Geology, 25, (3), 263-266. (doi: 10.1130/0091-7613(1997)025<0263:AGMTTT>2.3.CO;2).
Full text not available from this repository.
Rare earth element (REE) signatures can be used to identify the original mode of deposition of fossil bones and teeth that have been reworked. This new technique may resolve the notoriously difficult problem of assessing the amount of transport or reworking undergone by fossil bones and teeth on the basis of physical parameters, such as degree of abrasion. Different REE signals characterize different pore-water environments. Bones and teeth, composed of apatite, incorporate REEs rapidly during early diagenesis, and the REE signature in the bone is controlled by that of the surrounding pore waters. Reworked bones and teeth may show REE traces suggesting early-diagenetic pore-water conditions different from those indicated by in situ sedimentary or geochemical evidence. This situation is demonstrated in a case study from the Rhaetian (latest Triassic) of southwest England, where different bone beds are compared. In one case, the original environmental setting of reworked bone is traced by matching REE traces with contemporaneous unreworked bone assemblages in neighboring areas.

New Bond villain Javier Bardem has confessed he was offered the chance to play 007 – but turned the role down.
The Oscar winner reveals Bond producers were considering him as the superspy before they settled on Daniel Craig, but he didn't feel the time was right for a Spanish 007.
The actor, who plays Bond's nemesis Raoul Silva in Skyfall, tells CinemaBlend.com, "Years ago, I was (offered the role). I don't remember what movie it was for.
"I didn't feel that it was the time for me to do something like that. And also, I was doing something else, so I passed. This time, when I read it, I felt that it was very powerful material, and I wanted to join."
And Bardem insists he never regretted saying no to Bond: "I have passed on many things that I could easily regret, but I don't regret any of them, because that also gives room for something else to come that I'm proud of."

25 Free Craft Projects for Every Crafter - The Ultimate Craft Guide

Simple Times Crafts for Poor People
Simple Times Crafts for Poor People
By Amy Sedaris
Gifted by Grand Central Publishing
Reviewed by Maria Nerius:
I read an interview with the author before reading this book so I knew that many individuals contributed craft projects to the book and I read that Sedaris put all her crafting supplies into storage after completing the book. I thought this must be a book for youth as I was a little shocked to see on page 114 a sewing needle stuck into a person's hand. The chapter is on safety, which is always a good thing to keep in mind. However the gouged hand on the opposite page really turned my stomach. Then as I read further I decided that this wasn't a book I'd give my great nieces as the Cuddle Time was a bit much showing a little too much skin. There are some really fun projects in the book, but overall I got a sense that the book was making fun of me as a crafter. I don't know too many poor people who could afford spending $27.99 to buy the book. I think this is a book for those with a different sense of humor than my own. I've never written a negative review before and I hope this one isn't too negative. I just want to warn my fellow crafters that the book uses rather cutting edge humor while presenting some of the coolest retro and contemporary crafts.
Reviewed by Karisa Tell:
You might be able to tell by the title of Amy Sedaris's new book that she's not clambering to become the next Martha Stewart. In fact, her goal in Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People seems to be to poke fun at the crafting community, an "elite society" that "virtually anyone without a job and access to pipe cleaners can join," according to Sedaris. The real joy in this book is not the crafts themselves, but Sedaris's sardonic musings about making "a lovely something that nobody needs." In fact, if you make a project from this book, chances are it will be something that nobody needs: tin can stilts, chorizo neck warmers, and an entire chapter of unreturnable gifts are a few of the "projects" included in this book, which is more of a satirical look at the ridiculous side of crafting than an actual instruction manual. Readers may be offended by the implicit sexual remarks and drawings included in the chapter on "fornicrafting," the graphic images in the craft safety section, and the chapter on Crafting for Jesus, but crafters with a dry sense of humor who are comfortable laughing at themselves will love the clever writing and colorful photo spreads. If you're a fan of Amy Sedaris, you'll love this raunchy, saracatic spin on crafting.

Thanks for making it clear what kind of book this is. It is not a crafting book so much as a humorous book. I haven't read it, but I did look at her cookbook. Raunchy is a good way to describe her humor, and I assume this book follows in the same vein. You either like it or you don't, but be forewarned.

Clippers guard Chris Paul will not play in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Rockets on Wednesday, missing his second straight game because of a strained left hamstring.
Chicago Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler will be named the NBA's Most Improved Player this week, according to league sources.
King James placed his crown back on for Game 2.
Nets GM Billy King said Wednesday his team's No. 1 priority heading into the offseason is retaining Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young and then building around them.
Kyrie Irving, even though he scored a game-high 30 points in Game 1, said he cost the Cavaliers by getting tired out late in the fourth quarter.
New Liberty owner Isiah Thomas says he will continue to deny culpability for his role in a 2007 sexual harassment case when addressing the issue with the WNBA Board of Governors.
Cavaliers coach David Blatt has changed his starting lineup by inserting Tristan Thompson for Game 2 against the Bulls.
The Cavaliers have nixed a plan to give away 20,000 arm slings to fans to show support for injured starting forward Kevin Love, who is out for the rest of the NBA playoffs.
This might be the last, best chance for this group of Bulls to win a championship, Ramona Shelburne writes.

The Rockets look to solve their woes that led to a Game 1 loss to the Clippers.
The Warriors believe they were too emotional during the Game 2 loss, sunk by a poor shooting night in the face of a tough Memphis defense.
As out-of-date as Memphis' style might be, the Griz are currently just as close to winning a title as any other team in the league after their takedown of the Warriors.

"We had a few issues - we lost power for a period of time, but our backup generators kicked on," said Lisa White, associate administrator of Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital. "We lost some trees, but overall we were lucky."
She said the hospital is helping any way they can, including notifiying other hospitals that CFMCH was fully functional.
"We have seen some interest from other areas and notified our physicians of our availability. We have also seen an influx in outpatients," White said.
White owes the functionality of the hospital now to being well-prepared for disasters such as Hurricane Ike. "We were very well-prepared. That's why we have drills over and over," she said. "We had enough linens, food, supplies and everything. We were able to feed our employees, patients and families who had to stay here."

Why Does my Cat Have Lumps on His Abdomen?
I have a male cat who is about 2 1/2 years old. He has these lumps (for lack of a better word) under his belly area. They're soft and don't appear to cause him pain and they are 'moveable'; I just noticed recently that they appear to have gotten larger. (I check them frequently)
He has gained some weight recently. They are on the underside of his belly where it meets the hind legs, one on each side, they appear to be the same size. I never really worried about them before, I always assumed if it was cancer there wouldn't be identical 'lumps' on both sides.
It sounds like you are describing abdominal fat pads. Abdominal fat pads are symmetrical deposits of adipose tissue (fat) that occur commonly in adult cats. They tend to be more prevalent in overweight individuals, but they can occur in cats with ideal weights. Abdominal fat pads often develop either at maturity or after a cat is spayed or neutered. Abdominal fat pads are harmless.
Abdominal fat pads are common enough that they have earned a number of nicknames. Kitty beer belly, dangling participle, and FUPA are among the many I have heard.
Although I'm quite confident that the soft lumps you have noticed are abdominal fat pads, I recommend that you have your vet check them out next time your cat is in the office. He or she hopefully will confirm my online diagnosis.

Jews in the Arab world
Before 1948 an estimated 900,000 Jews lived in what we now know as the Arab states. Since then, the vast majority have left, forcibly in many cases, bringing the total down to fewer than 8,000. The conflict with Israel has undoubtedly been a major factor in this.
The history of Jewish communities in the Arab world is not widely known and tends to be denied or played down by Arabs, often for political reasons.
The aim of this page is to cast a little more light on the subject through links to relevant websites (but please note that we are not responsible for their content). Recognising that this is a sensitive topic, we have tried to include a balanced range of sources. Readers are invited to contact us with suggestions for additional links or other improvements.
Although Jewish-Arab and Jewish-Muslim relations are often viewed in terms of conflict, the historical reality is a lot more complex, as some of the links on this page show. Some writers argue that conflict is by no means inevitable and that, in broad historical terms, Jews have been less ill-treated in the Arab world than elsewhere.

West Bank
Israel occupied the West Bank during the 1967 war and many new Jewish settlements have been established there since. However, it is often forgotten that some Jewish communities, with ancient roots, existed among the mainly Arab population of the West Bank before the war.

Whatever the intention behind them, the new rules framed last month under the Information Technology Act, 2000 are likely to have a chilling effect on the development of the Internet as a medium of communication and information in India. Apart from the unreasonable restrictions on free speech they envisage, the rules raise serious concerns about the privacy of a citizen's personal information, including medical profile, financial position, and sexual orientation. The problem lies with three sets of rules that create guidelines on "intermediaries" and cyber cafes and on the manner in which "sensitive personal data or information" can be shared, especially with government agencies. Intermediaries, defined as those who store, transmit, or provide services related to electronic messages, will henceforth be obligated to block content or information that "threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security or sovereignty of India, friendly relations with foreign states, or public order or causes incitement to the commission of any cognisable offence or prevents investigation of any offence…" This description is so vague and open-ended that it is likely to lead Internet Service Providers, webmasters, and others to play it safe and shut off access to views and opinions that they consider controversial. The rules specify a mechanism for appeal but the permissible time frame of one month is far too long to offer any meaningful redressal of grievances.
The rules on privacy represent an advance in one respect: they prohibit companies with whom an individual has shared her or his sensitive personal information from disclosing it to any third party without prior permission from that individual. But an exception is made for government agencies; they will be entitled to access that information without a court warrant simply on the basis of a written request that states that the information is required for the investigation of a crime. Although these agencies are, in turn, obligated not to share that information with anyone else, this 'safeguard' is of little value to citizens who value their privacy vis-à-vis the state. The fact that officially sanctioned telephone intercepts have made their way into the public domain points to the danger of giving officials access to personal information. Nor is it clear how crime can be fought by police officers gathering details about a potential suspect's "physical, physiological and mental health condition; sexual orientation; and medical records and history," as the rules partially define "sensitive personal data or information." Such rules have no place on the statute book of a democracy that values the rights of its citizens. Parliament should insist that the government take another look.

Get Married at Home or Away? Birmingham vs. Versailles
Get Married at Home or Away? Birmingham vs. Versailles
Posted on Dec 16 2011 at 01:01:57 AM in Travel
Can't decide whether to go all out on a Royal Wedding of your own, in the most romantic place on Earth, or simply relax and enjoy those same comforts closer to home? Here is our helpful guide to help you decide.
Though there is no shortage of Birmingham star city hotels, you can enjoy one of Britain's most interesting cities in luxury and comfort.
Beneath its old reputation, Birmingham is a dazzling cosmopolitan city with plenty to offer. Countless regeneration projects have left the city with sparkling shopping centres, glamorous restaurants, bars and pubs, not to mention a clubbing scene to rival the nightlife of London. A stroll along the quaint canals of 'Brum' is no less romantic than one through Versailles.


text: The Watcher wiki last edited by JadenYuki on 10/12/14 07:49AM View full history HistoryThe Watcher is many times the superior of any mere man. All he does is travel his lonely route, stopping from time to time to look around as history unfolds. It is as if his only mission is to watch. His home planet is at the furthest end of the known universe, a planet containing the greatest scientific wonders of all time. If one was to seize some of these scientific treasures, he would have such power as no human has ever dreamed of possessing.One of the first races in the universe, The Watchers developed technology and evolved billions of years before nearly all species. With the best of intentions the Watchers used this knowledge to interfere with the evolutionary and technological advancements of a primitive species. The residents of Prosilicus, not ready for these advancements annihilated one another with this new technology.The Watchers horrified by these actions, swore to only observe and never to interfere with the happenings of the universesLater, A Watcher observed a not yet formed Galactus in a cocoon. Honoring their oath of non-interference the Watcher watched as Galactus came to be the Devourer of Worlds.UatuThe Watcher assigned to observe Earth and its solar system is named Uatu. Uatu has broken his oath on numerous occasions.The first time that the watcher came to Earth was when a future Captain America was sent back in time to 1602 A.D., he then got help from a Elizabethan-era version of Doctor Strange who helped create a time portal fixing the reality of Earth.In a more modern time Uatu was first seen by the Fantastic Four when they went to the Moons' Blue area. Here they met the Watcher who was going to wipe their memories when Red Ghost had entered the Blue area of the moon with his team of super apes. They attacked the Thing and Uatu stopped the fight stating that the Fantastic Four would fight Red Ghost and his group of super apes. Uatu admired how the Fantastic Four fought and decided not to wipe their memories of their meeting.He later warned them about the coming of Molecule Man who was given the ability to control matter after a lab accident. After his defeat the Watcher sent him to another dimension where time moved much faster there than in his normal universe, it also lowered his powers so he couldn't use is powers to escape.During Reed and Sue's wedding he stopped a horde of super villains by bringing them to the blue area of the moon and then erasing their memories. He said that Reed and Sue could have their honeymoon on the Blue area of the Moon, he also told them that they would be the only people in the galaxy who he would not be watching that night.When Galactus first came to Earth he tried to hide it from him, but when that failed he helped the Human Torch find the Ultimate Nullifier to defeat him, breaking his oath of non-interference.Uatu disgraced himself by physically opposing Captain Marvel after taking sides with the lunatic legion, a team of Mar-Vell hating Krees. For this Uatu was put on trial by his own people for interfering in earth affairs. He was set free because he promised that he wouldn't interfere again.Uatu has also collaborated with the mutant team, X-Men, and he seems to have a history with Apocalypse, as they are seen discussing about the conflict between the heroes and Onslaught.With the coming of Abraxas, the Fantastic Four visited Uatu on the Moon only to find that his equipment was off and Uatu himself was suffering from memory loss. Eventually, Uatu slipped into a coma. The heroes of Earth soon learned that Abraxas was after the Watcher because he was the only being to know the secret location of the Ultimate Nullifier. The Silver Surfer used his powers to transport Uatu far from Abraxas' reach, but at the cost of his own life. After Abraxas' defeat, the universe was restored to it's normal state, as was the Watcher.His recent appearances with the heroes was when he witnessed the wedding of Black Panther and Storm. It had been said that if the Watcher is witnessing an event, it means that this event is a very important moment. He also told the newlyweds that their children have a very important destiny ahead of them.During the Civil War, he came to Doctor Strange and asked about the coming conflict and why he hadn't use his powers to stop the war. Strange answered that he doesn't take sides and that both sides of the war are both right and wrong in some ways, and he stated that he will pray for the least amount of blood being shed after the war. Uatu reflects on this.Uatu broke his deal of non-interference yet again when Eternity was dying. He assisted the Fantastic Four and Doctor Strange in performing surgery on Eternity by transporting them the hero Gravity from Earth. He knew that Gravity could manipulate a fundamental force capable of saving Eternity, and with him all of reality.He briefly appears in Issue 4 of Hulk, where he comes to Earth to stop Red Hulk but is swiftly knocked out with one punch by the Red Hulk and does not appear again.When the Future Foundation are transported to Uatu's home by the Impossible Man, it is revealed that he has a girlfriend, Ulana, who is pregnant.Powers and AbilitiesThe Watcher has an eternity to stand and watch, there is almost nothing he does not see, almost nothing he does not know. For he is the Watcher.He is forbidden to interfere with the acts of others. Though he has the power to shatter planets, to make galaxies tremble, he may only stand, and watch. However, the Watcher may act only if it is to preserve his own safety.The Watcher is not all-powerful. The seeming miracles he accomplishes are done through mastery of science which no human brain can remotely comprehend.The Watchers are cosmic beings, who possess the innate ability to achieve virtually any effect desired, including augmenting personal attributes, time and space manipulation, molecular manipulation, energy projection and a range of mental powers. They also have access to incredibly advanced technology.Alternate VersionsEarth X (Earth-9997)In this reality, the Watcher are the slaves of the Celestials because they did not intervene in the birth of Galactus. As punishment for this, they are force to watch the destruction of planets by the Celestial egg hatching inside of it. Uatu has become a non caring character that feels superior from the Earthlings he watches.In Other MediaMovieIt is believed that Stan Lee's many appearances, he is The Watcher.TelevisionUatu made two appearances in the 1967 Fantastic Four animated series, voiced by Paul Frees.Uatu the Watcher appeared in the "Incredible Hulk" segment of the animated series The Marvel Super Heroes.Uatu made a cameo appearance in the X-Men animated series.Uatu made an appearance in the 1994 Fantastic Four animated series, voiced by Alan Oppenheimer.Uatu made appearances on the Silver Surfer animated series, voiced by Colin Fox.Uatu appears in The Super Hero Squad Show episode "Tremble at the Might of...MODOK", voiced by Dave Boat. He makes an appearance at the Big Really Amazing Immense Noggin Convention telling MODOK what happens in Big Head Super Team-Up #141, until MODOK interrupts him stating that he will obtain the Infinity Fractal and use it to overthrow Doctor Doom and defeat the Super Hero Squad. Uatu just states, "Well, this I have got to see." Around the end of the episode, Uatu looks into the window as Doctor Doom uses MODOK as a test subject in his Weapons Testing Chamber. He is later seen in "This Al Dente Earth" sitting in a recliner, eating popcorn, and taking pictures with his cell phone of the battle between the heroes and Galactus.Video gamesUatu shows up in the What If...? mode of the PlayStation Spider-Man video game, voiced by Laurence Fishburne.Uatu is one of 140 characters in the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance video game, voiced by Phil LaMarr. He has special dialogue with each member of the Fantastic Four.

Indian men seem to have started integrating luxury as a
part of their lives in a big way. Perhaps that is why British luxury goods major Alfred Dunhill, is doing so well here. The main attraction for this brand is that it offers a complete wardrobe solution for the modern Indian male. The brand specializes in premium men's luxury leather goods, writing implements, lighters, timepieces, fragrances and clothing. S Kumars Nationwide (SKNL) — one of the leading textile and apparel companies of India with brands like S Kumars, Reid &Taylor, Belmonte and Carmichael House in its kitty — owns the exclusive franchisee rights for Alfred Dunhill in India.
Anjani Kasliwal, Director, SKNL says they are witnessing a huge demand for Alfred Dunhill in the three years of operations in India and going forward they expect this growth story to pick up pace even further. According to Kasliwal, the market for luxury brands in India is still in its nascent stage, but it is growing rapidly. Currently, the brand has two standalone stores in India – Delhi and Bangalore. The company will set up two additional stores in Mumbai and Hyderabad next year. Moreover the company is also in talks to bring in other international brands in 2011. Meanwhile SKNL, the Rs 3,840crore textile and apparel major, which also retails Brandhouse Oviesse, a joint venture between SKNL's fashion retail business Brandhouse Retail and Italian apparel retailer Oviesse, intends to expand its presence in Tier-II cities.

Phil is about as accurate as the WJLA meteorologists.
If that is that is the case for WJLA (and I doubt it), the WJLA forecasters are accurate 39% of the time. If you look at WJLA's record which includes the entire year and not just winter, WJLA is accurate a majority (much greater than 39%) of the time.
It's not hard to get multiple days of sunshine inaccurate. I would say they get it wrong 45-50% of the time when it's not plain ol' sunshine.
WJLA is the best of all networks that forecast the weather. I salute you for a job well done.
is SOOOOO much better.
All I know is as long as Phil The Groundhog as been coming out of his hole, he sure needs to get it right this year because this chick is so over winter! I want warm sunny weather!

Many African American researchers are hoping that there will another record that will provide a glimpse of ancestors once enslaved. Most African Americans find their ancestors in the 1870 census listed as free people at long last, and with their full names. For too many researchers, the work reaches a brick wall, simply because nothing more is known. Who was the last slave holder, and where else can one look to find their names? Occasionally that rare document arises, and it should be shared.

Meet Rachel Walter
Hometown: Des Moines, Iowa
Major: Elementary Education
Year: Sophomore
Did you get a chance to visit campus before you enrolled?
I did have the chance to stay on campus for visitor weekends and such several times. I loved visiting, and staying in the dorms with the students was an awesome opportunity.
How was your overall experience with the Admissions Department?
I love the Admissions staff! They are so helpful and caring:from the very first time I started looking into applications and such, the staff learned my name and made such an effort to get to know me and to know what is going on in my life!
How was it transitioning from a homeschool environment to the classroom setting here at Faith?
The transition could not have gone any smoother. I was a little nervous about learning the requirements for my new classes, but the teachers and professors did everything possible to make the transition an easy one.
What was the transition like from visitor to student? Did it take you a while to start to fit in?
The first few weeks I had to keep reminding myself that I was not a visitor:I was a student. Once I got settled and started getting to know my classmates and forming friendships, though, it really became fun! Because you are spending most of your time with these students, you are able to form friendships quickly and share and encourage each other!
What are your favorite parts about being a student so far at Faith?
I enjoy spending so much time pursing a deeper knowledge of the Bible. It's so neat to be able to learn more about the Bible and yet be doing my school work at the same time! I love how caring the professors are, and how encouraging the friendships that I have made are to me.

Here it is folks. First ride on Seymour tomorrow (I would do Fromme except the snow). I rode it around today to iron out the kinks. Rear end feels more "dead" but I am sure this is me (dead relative to the Fly rear end). Small bump compliance is FAR better than the Curnutt. I think I wished the handlebars were higher, but perhaps that is me. Might need a new seatpost as the full insertion seattube might allow for better pedalling than the Fly.
Build went smoothe. Not too much issues. Mostly getting the parts. But all were found and 2 weeks after a busted frame I am back in the game. Boy, the bars are sure wide.

Who Pays for Entering Europe? Sectoral Politics and European Union Accession
There are no files associated with this record.
Title | Who Pays for Entering Europe? Sectoral Politics and European Union Accession |
Author | Sharman, Jason Campbell |
Journal Name | European Journal of Political Research |
Year Published | 2004 |
Place of publication | Amsterdam |
Publisher | Elsevier for the European Consortium for Political Research |
Abstract | This article analyses the effects of sectoral political lobbies on the Romanian and Bulgarian governments' efforts to reform their economies for European Union accession. The progress of restructuring and retrenchment is crucially dependent on the coincidence of which groups are adversely affected by accession-motivated reforms, and which groups are sufficiently mobilised at the domestic level to block international-level deals. In turn, the political power of the agricultural and industrial sectors is determined by workplace-level and national-level variables. At the workplace level, it is easier to organise people in a small number of large firms than a large number of small firms, and to organise employees in public-owned or insider-privatised enterprises compared to other types. At the national level, monopolistic sectoral associations whose members have no exit option may be bought off by government side payments to the leadership, while representation that is overly fragmented will be ineffectual. |

The Hungry Ghost Festival in Penang
Open the gates of the underworld
What we say:
If you're in Penang and feel like you're being watched as you tuck into your bowl of asam laksa or char koay teow, you might just be right. The seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar is known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, when the gates of the underworld are opened and a whole host of salivating spirits come out to roam the physical realm, in search earthly delights, entertainment and – as you might expect – food.
The festival takes place from 7 August to 4 September 2013, and on the basis that Penang is known as Malaysia's culinary capital, it's a fair bet that this is where the majority of the country's starving spectres turn up. During this month, ghosts who were not given a proper burial and were banished to the underworld, or else those whose living ancestors have failed to pay them proper tribute, are able to relive their physical lives.
Some of these underfed, long-necked ghosts are merely hungry for comfort and food, while others may want to seek revenge or tidy up unfinished business. Either way, it probably pays to be respectful to the spirits and stay on their good side. The seventh month is thought to be very inauspicious and there is a long list of things you should avoid doing during the festival, for fear of gaining unwanted attention and bringing bad luck on yourself or your family.
Locals avoid getting married, opening new businesses, moving house or even buying new furniture. Parties are avoided, and many people will try to get home before dusk descends. But how does this unlucky month affect travellers? Well, you should ideally avoid all land, sea or air transport. You shouldn't walk around late at night. You should never whistle or sing after dark. Drinking alcohol is a definite no-no (you will need your wits about you). Oh, and swimming is not advised.
Given that this is meant to be a festival, it may not sound all that fun and indeed, it seems that most of the celebrating is done by the ghosts, rather than the living. Human activity seems to be concerned with damage limitation and appeasing these potentially malevolent visitors. But fear not: most of these ghosts are entirely harmless and for those that aren't, there are plenty of people in Penang who are doing their bit to try and keep the ghosts happy.
Throughout the streets of Georgetown, you will see offerings of food laid out at the sides of the road, along with smouldering joss sticks. People also burn paper money, known as 'hell bank notes', as well as paper effigies of worldly possessions, such as houses, cars, televisions and even iPads, in their efforts to mollify the angry ghosts, and it is fascinating to see these rituals alive and well in the heritage town.
Many streets hold gatherings on different nights throughout the festival, where people join together to socialise, eat and pay homage to the ghosts. Trestle tables are set up, laden with fruit, cakes and joss sticks, and people light huge pyres of hell money and paper effigies, filling the air with smoke and — hopefully — satisfying the ghosts' cravings.
This is also a great time of year to experience traditional Teochew and Hokkien open-air operas and puppet shows, laid on for the entertainment of both departed and living souls, which take place across the whole of Penang. A full list of performances can be found on the Penang State Tourism website. These are dying art forms in much of Asia, yet still have a strong following in Penang; there can be few more impressive backdrops for these shows than the historical streets of Georgetown. Just make sure you don't go and sit in the apparently empty, yet very much reserved, front row of seats — you may just find yourself sitting in the lap of one of those moody, hungry ghosts!
If you're heading to Phuket over the next few weeks, the festival is also celebrated there.
