I just read about the coup in Thailand (http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapc...mor/index.html). I gather that television news coverage has been restricted, as well.

CNN says that the capital is peaceful, so I hope all of our Thai forumites are safe and well. My thoughts are with you.

(Stay safe!)

Many thanks guys.
There 's no violence during this taking over. Only changes are, we got a new PM and an extra holiday. :D
I hope that the meeting/demonstration will go on.

Yeah, I thought the holiday was a nice touch. :)

Each topic of your program looks intriguing. I like the idea of covering type, spiritual significance, use (in broad context), manufacture, and individual use of the weapon. To quote my good friend Antonio Conceicao,

Quote:

Wars are fought by men, using weaponry that often is the sole material testimonial of the technological ingenuity of cultures or civilizations. When presented with an historical perspective on these vital cultural expressions, we can permit ourselves to see that even instruments of war had their extraordinary beauty derived not just from their function, but also from the decorations that imbued them with symbolic power and status. They can be seen to embody the human search for perfection. This is because war is, ironically, about the most essential elements of Mankind’s existence: life and death, the same elements for which religions try to find an explanation.

I couldn't have said it better myself. No, I really mean that - I couldn't have even said that, much less said it better.:D

I've got to agree with Andrew it looks like great stuff. Please keep us informed.

Here 's some photo from the meeting.

I wish that more pics will come.

Darn, missed that!

I was very busy the past 5 weeks, and can't believe I missed that.
What a shame.

Dear Puff, I am still looking forward to meet you.

All the best to you all,
Serge.

Our local dha-fiosos are salivating, no doubt :D
