Is Thailand safe?
January 2009
Thinking about going to Thailand at the start of a round the world trip. Someone told me it is getting unsafe and there were lots of riots in Bangkok - is it safe to travel in Thailand and Bangkok?? We also plan to go up to visit the hill tribes and Chiang Mai, then also down to the beach resorts down south. I assume its fine outside Bangkok - anyone been there recently who can advise??
January 2009
There were recently protests that closed down the airports that are now re-opened in Bangkok. Some violence has also occured between police and protesters. None of this has been directed towards tourists. State department warnings advise to be careful not to join protests. All of this is in Bangkok and in concentrated places, most tourist destinations within the city are completely safe to visit. Chiang Mai and beach resorts will be unaffected.
January 2009
The only recent problem in Thailand was a New Year's Eve fire in a Bangkok niteclub (accidental), and none of the violence of last year was directed at tourists or extended beyond Bangkok. Thailand's tourist destinations are as safe today as before the unrest; if you practice normal travel caution and awareness there shouldn't be any issues and your trip will hopefully be as enjoyable as planned!
January 2009
Being a Thai myself, I would like to say that right now BKK is pretty safe for tourists to come and visit. The weather is very nice (it's like spring season in some of Western countries) as for the politics issue I would say it's getting better now comparing to closing the airport last Dec. So I would say it is one of the best places in Asia just to relax eat and shop!
We also have northern cities (Chiangmai, Chiangrai, Mae Hong Sorn) and beaches (Phuket, Samui - famous for its full moon party, Hua Hin, Pattaya)
Welcome to Thailand.
January 2009
Hi there,
I am planning to come to Thailand (not for partying) but with my family as a destination to relax ......... i know Bkk is very crowded, but apart from bkk - what are the other decent places one can visit with family members - which is not very crowded as well.
January 2009
There are many uncrowded places in Thailand and it really depends on what else you want. For example a less crowded city is Chiang Rai in the north. Close to that is Pai a little relaxing mountain town with a big tourist infrastructure. Bangkok is crowded but there are relaxing things to do in the city as well, spas and river cruises. Of course there are the islands of which the less crowded ones are a bit harder to get to but all of them should be relaxing. Write back for more specific info.
January 2009
I'm planning on heading to Thailand for a month in the Summer, and I was wondering if I should book now, or if, due to the possibility of violence, I should wait? I'd really like to book it now so I can prepare but I'm worried that it would be a big risk seeing as it seems so unstable.. Is the situation likely to change by June?
January 2009
I'm Thai and live in Bangkok, I'd like to tell u that everything is ok now, so no worries about riots. When will u plan to be here ? Im not sure abt the weather in the north but this period is nice for travel to the south of Thailand.
well, im not an expert but at least i can help u find some basic information and give u some advice.
this is my email firstname.lastname@example.com
any problem u want to know, feel free to add me ^^
welcome to Thailand ;P
January 2009
I would like to visit Thailand but have been told that the humidity is really high. As I am a teacher I am limited to travel - end of Sept & Begin of Oct or End of Dec & Jan. Any advice for beating the humidity?
January 2009
Avoid September and October for this has the highest rainfall - at least in Bangkok. Dec and Jan is ideal and dry in Bangkok, although at night in the north it can get chilly.
Most accommodation has efficient air conditioners, so no real problem.
February 2009
all i want to know is when storm season is in thailand...
February 2009
Hi i am heading to Thailand on my honeymoon in August and was wondering if it is safe to travel to after the recent violence
February 2009
Thailand is safe, and still a great place for a honeymoon.
Ferrari - in answer to your question, the stormy season, or monsoon, is over September and October, although this is still a good time to visit.
February 2009
How about traveling to Thailand in April last week?
How is the climate during this period of time?
Hope it is not too hot and a spending a week will be memorable there..
pls comment..
February 2009
I will be travelling to Bankok in the beginning of June this year. How is the weather in June?
Do you have any recommendation for accomodation? Preferebly not so expensive.
February 2009
Thailand and by extention Bangkok is safe.
authorities advice you never join in the protests.
tourist areas in BBK and other tourist circuit are safe for tourists.
the tourist police and foreigners safety is guaraneeted and is no caise to worry.
March 2009
Thailand is all good and i my friends has just visited the place and they said that there were lots of tourists in Bangkok.
Nothing has affected thailand not even the recession.
March 2009
I can help for southern part, Samui, Phuket, Krabi, Khaolak
March 2009
I am coming to thailand in May this year! (Excited....erm, yes!) Me and my friend are going to Bangkok first, then to Chaing Mai, then probably down south to Samui and maybe Phi Phi. Are there any other really good places to go that I shouldn't miss?

March 2009
hi. i am cuming to thailand at the beginning of june and would like to know what the weather is like in bangkok and hua hin? and what there is to do in hua hin?
March 2009
A friend and i have travelled to Thailand a few months back. Its very safe, you can walk around late at night. In bangkok, you can do a thai cooking course, loads of shopping, you can visit the night market, floating markets etc.Phuket is also a great beach destination- you can go elephant trekking or visit one of the many island trips that are available or go for a thai body messsage.
March 2009
a few of my girlfriends and i planned to visit bangkok this coming late may but my parents are not very keen of this idea. they have told me that due to the political instability and constant riots happening, it's not safe at all to go. can anyone assure me that it's not that dangerous?
March 2009
we are visiting Thailand this April 8, 2009, we hear news about the political unrest. we would like to ask if it is safe to visit Bangkok, Thailand?
April 2009
I am planning to visit Thailand in the end of May. Is it safe?
April 2009
11 of us have booked our flights to Bangkok on April 16-19, is it safe for us to go there. It is only a few days away........pls give us some advice. Thank you very much.
April 2009
As of today, Bangkok is in a state of emergency. You are advised not to travel there.
April 2009
going thailand end of april is it ok to travel,i know gove say not to travel but talk to some people in thailand say its not as bad as western new make out,anyone tell me wots it like .thanks
April 2009
If there is a state of emergency it was put there for a reason. Anyone taking there family on holiday should reconsider.
April 2009
I was born in Thailand , my advice is you don't have to flight to Bangkok now is very serious situation but you can fly from USA to other cities like if you are going to south of Thailand, like Phuket or Haadyai, totally avoid Bangkok now, or if possible change your plan go another time. I know if you want to go to Thailand first thing is you have to go to Bangkok coz it is a capital of Thailand but now very dangerous if you go there. Well my suggestion is you should go another time.
April 2009
Is it safe for honeymooners travelling on 19th - 25th to Bangkok and Phuket.
April 2009
we have plans to visit Bangkok and Phuket on 5th may to 10th May. any speculation will the unrest be over by that time. or shall we change our plans.
Thanks in advance for the information.
April 2009
i have plans of going to bangkok and pattaya frm Mumbai to BKK from 18th April to 26th April. Its our first family tripp abroad. Is it safe to go?
April 2009
Dont cancel those tickets yet. First of all, Bangkok aside, the rest of Thailand is completely unchanged by the political unrest. The islands or Chaing Mai or wherever will give no sign of the protests in Bangkok. As of now the recent protests that have left two dead and many more injured are dispersed but are likely to start again. Bangkok downtown didnt have its usual care free atmosphere it usually does now over the Thai new year although news reports state that in other parts of the city celebration has continued as normal. I suggest continuing to Bangkok but keep an eye on the news to avoid ending up in places where there are protesters. Thailand is protective of its tourism industry so in no way is their danger directly aimed at tourists, the only threat is if one is accidently caught up in ensuing violence at the protests.
April 2009
Hi, i am travelling to Bangkok tuesday 21st april and will be staying there for three days before heading to Chaing Mai, then Phuket. Will it be safe by then? I have read that the protesters have moved on, but that they may return..? The Foreign Office still have this notice up on their site "We advise against all but essential travel to Bangkok. British nationals should also review travel plans to other parts of Thailand. British nationals already in Bangkok and other cities affected by the violence are advised to stay indoors and to monitor the media and this travel advice". As much as i'd love to visit the city, see and experience all the amazing things it has to offer, i don't really the see the point of travelling there if it will mean that we have to spend the whole time stuck in a hotel..
We spoke to our travel agent and they seemed very lax about the whole situation ( i seem to have more information than them..). They told us to just go and enjoy our holiday, and that the airlines etc aren't offering any refunds.. The problem here is that our travel insurance provider has told us that as long as there is a goverment warning not to travel, we're not covered..
It seems like 'catch 22'. Can anyone give me any advice?
April 2009
Now in Thailand come to the normal, no danger and we are playing water festival (Songkran Festival)
April 2009
We are travelling to Thailand in Decemeber 2009 with kids - our airlines are already booked - is the situation getting calmer or should we try and get the money back.
April 2009

April 2009
I read about a lethal bacteria in the water in Phuket! It is safe to swimm in the sea or is better in the pool? Thanks.
April 2009
The political chaos in Thailand resulted in the decrease of tourists coming to Thailand. It may have caused the tourists feel insecure traveling while the situation seemed to involve violence. However, the great attempt in solving the problem and getting back the security confidence has been being put by the government. The situation now is under control. Moreover, the government has shown that no violence has been done in repressing the protesters. It has been reiterated that the political reform in Thailand cannot be achieved by violence.
This should ensure the tourists about the safety traveling in Thailand. It may take time for foreigners to fully understand the situation that it is not as bad as it seems. The tourism business has a hope to get back the tourists and also the confidence in traveling here. Thailand is still a peaceful country as it always is. Welcome back to Thailand, the land of smile.

beware of the tuk-tuk drivers , they all speak with forked tounge and will rip you off at the slightest opportunity !!!

Hey guys ive been planning my trip with my partner and our son for awhile now, were suppose to leave

September 2009
Hi! I'm planning to visit thailand in November. I keep reading about warnings to travelers. Should I be concerned?
September 2009
Mel - Thailand is one of the safest countries in the world to visit. The politics effect only a minority of locals and visitors won't be aware of the tensions. Honestly, your biggest danger is sunburn and falling coconuts.
September 2009
Thanks David!!
October 2009
I'm participating in an exchange program with my school and Khon Kaen University. Is it safe right now to travel to Thailand? Is it safe in Khon Kaen?
December 2009
I visit Thailand quite often- second trip this year. I go with my family and it is the safest destination I have visited about the same as Singapore and a lot safer than my home town of perth, Western Australia. I was rhere during the riots earlier in the year and they had no effet whatsoever on any travelers I met. The biggest danger in Thailand is if you hire a scooter - this is THE number one killer of travelers! Being ripped off bt a Taxi or Tuk-Tuk driver would be second (you might loose a dollar or so that way and even up to ten dollars if you fall victim of a real heavy criminal). Be on the usual alert for pick pockets and bag theft - but even that is far less than I have experienced in my own ountry of Australia. The food is great and the only tmmy upset any of us has had was from eating in posh hotels - street food is cooked in front of you fast and very hot so has proven safer - I keep away from salads. Do not be a loud agressive traveler - always smile and walk away rather than argue and you will have a great trip. You are more likely to have problems with other travelers than woth the Thai people. learn a few words of the language it makes for good traveling and the locals respet that you are making an effort. respect the locals - it is their country. Show a lot of respect visiting temples ansd understand that Thai people love the King - do not under any circumstance make any negative comments about Royalty. That just about covers safety.
Where to visit - Bangkok, Kanchanaburi (rivers, a small but fun town, Tiger Temple), Chiang Mai (Great for Songkrahn and Christmas/New year - Old City with heaps of adventure trips - ballooning, ultralites, rafting, zipline, elephant trecks, buffalo markets, good food, scenery), Krabi to Phuket (Jungle trecking and live among the trees at Khao Sok: Canoe trips and rock climbing, world class fishing (Gillham's Fishing) or veg out on fab beaches at Krabi: old Phuket town for a glimpse of how ordinary Thai people live.)
BKK - Chao Praya river trips - to Wat Arun, Kho Kret island. The Royal palace. The Wooden Palace. Jim Thompson's House. the Royal Barges. Hire a longtail and go up the khlongs. Cross BKK on the Khlong Ferry on San Seab. Siam Paragon for shopping and Underwater World - also very good and by Australian standards cheap cinema and ten pin Bowling. Jatuchack markets. China town. Tea at The Oriental Hotel (if you have aver herd of Noel Coward or Summerset Maugham) - go by their private boat. Great jazz and blues (Brown Sugar, Saxaphone Club). Beer halls for viewing the locals. Top posh restaurants and clubs. Very expensive hotels and very cheap and good value Guesthouses. Visit Ayutthya on the train - stay overnight so you can see the ruins lit up, and return by Rice Barge down the Chao Praya River. Go go-karting at RCA building. Pantip Plaza for all things computing or electronic. MBK for cheap second hand phones and clothing - and just about everything else (nearly opposite Pantip Plaza). Khao San Road - you love it or hate it (I love it - well more the area about it really - soi Rambutri etc). Get a massage get a nail job get a tattoo. Go fishing. Go clubbing. Go to a cooking class or learn massage.
Hua Hin - greta for a gentle sea-side town with excellent golf.
The islands if the beach scene and partying is for you.
These are the things I have come accross in my travels.
There will be a thousand more things to do and places to see in fabulous Thailand. By the way, I am 62years old and have visited or lived in over 40 countries and I still love the Thai people and their country. We are leaving in a few days for the New Year(western) fireworks (plufai - in Thai) in Chiang mai and having a side trip to Lampang, lamphun and Chiang Dao.
April 2010
Travelling to bkk end of may. Appreciate the violence at present but I would value a rationale view on the probability of the country descending into a protracted conflict. Is the probability of the military couping the current govt and handing it back to thaskin red shirts? Also going to Chiangmai and sumuai.

Fantastic Food, Prepared With Passion
Based on the border of Suffolk and Norfolk in the beautiful Waveney Valley- a part of England that seems to stand still whilst the rest of the world rushes by, Humble Cake has grown from a traditional cake baking company, and now operates Earsham Street Café, an outside catering service for small events as well as retaining it's cake making business. Although the company has expanded, it still retains it's original philosophy – to use the highest quality ingredients that are wherever possible locally sourced and seasonal.
Every day our kitchen and bake house are full of tantalising sights, sounds and smells as we lovingly prepare the food; ingredients supplied by great local producers – people who share our passion for quality. Read more about Humble Cake.
Earsham Street Café
Nestling in the centre of the historic market town of Bungay and surrounded by many individual and specialist shops, some of which have been established for generations, Earsham Street Café is ideal to visit on its own or can be combined with a shopping trip. Earsham Street Café is a 17th Century building bursting with character and enjoying a colourful past, having seen service as an inn with a cock fighting pit, a bookmakers, a bazaar and a traditional tearooms- but now it 's home to our café.
Our friendly staff will welcome you and introduce you to our regularly changing menus influenced by the seasons and availability of local ingredients. All home cooked, even the jams and chutneys are made in-house. As you would expect excellent Fairtrade coffee, tea and locally produced cold drinks are served all day. We also have a great choice for vegetarians. Gluten and dairy-free cake and meals are also available. The Café is fully licenced for the sale of alcohol and offers a select range of local beers and cider, as well as wine.
The former cock fighting pit is now a hidden courtyard garden with outside seating, providing a delightful sunny area for alfresco dining. A glass canopy over part of the garden allows one to sit in the garden whilst staying dry. Children are most welcome and well behaved dogs are welcome in the Courtyard area – making Earsham Street Café a great destination to bring the family, meet a friend or just relax and read our magazines and papers with a refreshing cup of tea. We hope you enjoy your visit.
Outside Catering
We have a great reputation for our cold buffets which we offer for between 10 & 50 people. As with all our food it is home made and we try to support local producers by using locally sourced ingredients as much as possible

We will be taking a break over the Christmas period. Earsham Street Cafe will be closed from 25th Dec to 2nd Jan inclusive. We are open up to and including the 24th but will be closing at 2pm on Christmas Eve. If you would like a cake in the new year the first day for collection or dispatch is Monday the 5th January.

- Read this in:
- Spanish / Español
If you are a tenant in a house that has been foreclosed, federal law (the "Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act") requires the new owner after a foreclosure sale to allow you to occupy the property until your lease expires. There are three exceptions to this rule:
1. If the property was sold at the foreclosure sale to a purchaser who will occupy the unit as a primary residence, then your lease can be terminated by the new owner with a 90 days written notice to vacate.
2. If your lease has fewer than 90 days remaining pursuant to the terms of the lease, then the tenant must still receive written notice granting 90 days to vacate the property.
3. If the term of your tenancy is not defined because it is a month-to-month tenancy or a tenancy at will, then the new owner must provide you with written notice granting 90 days to vacate the property.
Of course, it is your choice whether or not you want to remain in the lease. If you want to stay, you should provide the new owner with a copy of your lease, and you should timely pay rent that is due.
You do not qualify for these protections if you are the prior owner of the house or a member of the prior owner's family, or if you pay substantially less than the market rate of rent. This law expires at the end of 2012.

It's Championship time for Sebastian Vettel while Mark Webber is hoping to end his season with a smooth weekend without any issues...
For all the latest F1 odds on the Brazilian GP, the final round of the 2012 F1 Championship, visit Sky Bet.
Sebastian Vettel: "The 4.3km circuit will this year stage the World Championship final. That will be exciting because at Interlagos you have a combination of passionate fans, driving anti-clockwise, bad bumps and extreme altitude. The thin air makes it tough for the engine, because São Paulo is located 1000m above sea level, so it costs us about 40hp. The long left turns put an extreme burden on our neck muscles, because of the centrifugal forces that are created from driving anti-clockwise. So I'm doing special workouts for São Paulo, to build up my neck muscles and get them used to it."
Mark Webber: "Brazil is a great way to finish the year. It's one of my most favourite weekends because of the history with the drivers they've had; Senna, Piquet and Fittipaldi, these guys did a huge amount for the sport. Interlagos is a legendary circuit, it's got a great atmosphere, there's always been a bit of drama and also there is always a bit of weather floating around. It's a Grand Prix that I have done well at in the past. It would be good to have a smooth weekend with no issues, a clean start and the car running smoothly for the whole weekend, then I'm sure we can finish the season very strongly."

Closed On Account Of Big Game
If you want to get on record with your Super Bowl predictions, feel free to comment below, with your genius preserved for all posterity. Actually, consider the comments here an open thread for any geek-on-geek football observations you want to make.
In hoc signo vinces (I hope!)
10 comments:
The Colts have (barely) higher stats, but the Saints tend to open-end their rolls. We'll see!
- February 7, 2010 at 10:09 AM
- WalkerP said...
Well let's see, your colts have a 12th level Paladin with a vorpal sword and Combat Reflexes.
The Saints are like a gang of really powerful Fighters but nobody can match the extra powers of the Paladin.
That's my garbled gaming metaphor attempt!
I'll take the Saints with the spread.
I'm just hoping for a great battle.

I predict that at halftime I'll still be pissed the Vikings aren't playing.
I wonder how many people set up and play Blood Bowl during the superbowl. I totally would if 1) I had bloobowl 2) knew anyone who would rather play bloodbowl than watch the superbowl.
- February 7, 2010 at 11:35 AM
- Stuart said...
Norman, How can you possibly be a Vikes fan and not know they were going to choke? Always have, always will.
Maybe when they move from Minnesota because we won't spend a billion dollars to build them a stadium they'll win.
- February 7, 2010 at 12:06 PM
- Zachary The First said...
I really think the Vikes should have won that game. Take away the 34 turnovers, and we're talking about Favre-Manning all week.
I dislike Favre, but they could have won that game any number of ways. It just didn't get done, somehow.
- February 7, 2010 at 12:15 PM
- Doug Wall said...
I gotta go Saints.
- February 7, 2010 at 2:03 PM
- Zachary The First said...
You know, if the Colts have to lose to a team in the SB (which I hope they do not), I'd rather it be the Saints. I went to college with Drew Brees at Purdue!
- February 7, 2010 at 2:30 PM
- Carpe Guitarrem said...
By the by, it should be "In hoc signo vincetis." Second person plural, instead of singular. (The original is singular, being addressed to Constantine, but I presume you're addressing it to the Colts themselves. Then again, maybe you're referring to Manning as the symbolic representation of the entire team, which you could make a case for....)
- February 7, 2010 at 3:41 PM
- Zachary The First said...
I was thinking more in the singular, in that case (addressed to each player or fan), but yes, you'd be right. I'm just glad I remember any high school Latin. :)
- February 7, 2010 at 4:36 PM
- Zachary The First said...
Well, congrats to the Saints! A well-deserved win. Kudos to Purdue grad Drew Brees!

NEW YORK — An estimated 108.4 million people watched the Super Bowl, making it fall short of setting the fourth straight viewership record.
The Nielsen Company said Monday that the Baltimore Ravens' 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers was the third most-viewed program in television history. Both the 2010 and 2011 games hit the 111 million mark.
Football viewership in general declined this year. But with a thrilling finish, this year's game did become the fourth Super Bowl to record more than 100 million viewers.

Ruskin Pottery
English, active 1898–1935
Vase, 1923
porcellaneous stoneware
31.5 x 13.4 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from the Mrs. George H. Sellers donation
Ceramic, Decorative Arts Ceramic
The Birmingham Tile and Pottery Works was founded in 1898 by Edward R. Taylor (1838–c. 1912), the Principal of the Birmingham School of Art, and was initially led by his son William Howson Taylor (1876–1935). The younger Taylor renamed the enterprise Ruskin Pottery in 1904, an indication of his high regard for the renowned English art critic and writer John Ruskin. Taylor shared Ruskin's ideas regarding beauty, nature, and art's ability to communicate truth. Ruskin Pottery is recognized for its high-quality production of Chinese-inspired forms and glazes, evident in both of these vases. The fineness of Taylor's glazes and his technical virtuosity brought much recognition to the factory. To ensure his glazes remained a secret, Taylor destroyed all documentation regarding his formulae before his death.

The Power of 'Amour'
WTOP Film Critic Jason Fraley shares why he loved 'Amour.'
Jason Fraley, WTOP film critic
WASHINGTON - Last year, the French silent film "The Artist" (2011) won five Oscars, including Best Picture.
Now, another French filmmaker hopes to do the same with "Amour," winner of the Cannes Film Festival's coveted Palme d'Or. The ninth and final Oscar nominee for Best Picture is finally trickling into select theaters in our area.
While "On Golden Pond" (1981) starred aging Hollywood legends Henry Fonda (76) and Katharine Hepburn (74), "Amour" jumps to the other side of the pond with aging French legends Jean-Louis Trintignant (82) of Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Conformist" (1970) and Emmanuelle Riva (85) of Alain Resnais' "Hiroshima Mon Amour" (1959).
After appearing in separate segments of Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Three Colors Trilogy" (1993-1994), the two now unite for a powerful French-German-Austrian production of love and loss.
Writer/director Michael Haneke explores the true meaning of "amour" (French for "love") through Georges and Anne, an elderly couple of Parisian music teachers, who stare down death after Anne is half-paralyzed by a stroke. Despite their daughter Eva's (Isabelle Huppert) insistence that they put Anne in a nursing home, Georges stays by her bedside in their Paris apartment until the bitter end.
Don't expect any quick cuts, jarring setups or elaborate camera moves. Haneke's style isn't flashy like Guy Ritchie or Quentin Tarantino. He's calm, collected and cooler than the other side of the pillow.
Like his previous films "Cache" (2005), "Funny Games" (2007) and "The White Ribbon" (2009), Haneke's vision unfolds through a series of long "single takes," where a static camera rolls without cutting (i.e. Jim Jarmusch) and lingers after the characters have left the room (i.e. Woody Allen).
The style is a commentary on our own movie watching, particularly as the camera stares at a recital audience for several minutes. Untrained eyes may grow impatient, but engaged viewers will challenge themselves to a game of "Where's Waldo?" to spot Georges and Anne in the fourth row, standing to let someone pass to their seat, then applauding the work of their former music student.
"Amour" thus transcends the screen like Bergman's "Persona" (1966), Bunuel's "Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" (1972) and Allen's "Purple Rose of Cairo" (1985). It makes us keenly aware of the filmmaking process, just like Georges turning off the soundtrack to highlight the difference between diegetic and non-diegetic sound (sound source visible on screen vs. playing on the soundtrack).
The trip to the theater is our only exposure to the outside world, as much of the film is confined to the couple's apartment, generating a suffocating sense of claustrophobia. This approach not only mimics the characters' physical lack of mobility, it forces us to watch some very tough end-of-life scenarios.
The camera's unblinking eye watches Anne fall out of bed, defecate in her nightgown, and spin around in a motorized chair, becoming a kindred spirit to a legless Marion Cotillard in my second favorite foreign flick of the year, "Rust & Bone" (2012). At one point, the gazing becomes so intense that Anne says, "Stop peering at me," but we can't look away from her anguish.
By the end, you'll want to immediately go back and watch the beginning to see how certain windows got opened, how certain doors got closed, and whether a certain object was present in the bedroom.
There's a reason The Huffington Post declared Haneke "arguably the greatest living filmmaker." He allows no escape, forcing us to actively engage with his films, rather than passively follow the action.
Certainly, it's not for everyone. If you enjoy fast-moving fantasies about safe subjects without subtitles, don't bother with "Amour." As a character says, "Imagination and reality have little in common."
But if you like uniquely emotional films that capture real-life drama with deliberate pacing, subtly mischievous directing and powerhouse performances, put this at the top of your list.
Haneke is one of only seven filmmakers to win the Palme d'Or twice, putting him ahead of legends like Billy Wilder, Federico Fellini, Robert Altman and Orson Welles. Granted, Wilder's "Double Indemnity" (1944) and Welles' "Citizen Kane" (1941) were banned under Nazi-occupation, a lost period of Hollywood films that French critics revisited in 1945 to coin the phrase "film noir." These same critics were inspired to become filmmakers themselves in the French New Wave of 1959, which brought brazen techniques back across the Atlantic for the Hollywood Renaissance of the '60s and '70s.
This American-French exchange has continued to the point where "Amour" is nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture, Director (Haneke), Actress (Riva), Screenplay (Haneke) and Foreign Film. While it's a lock for Foreign Film and a solid bet for Actress and Director, its Best Picture chances are far less certain. I'm not sure the Academy will give its top prize to two French movies in a row, especially when "The Artist" (2011) used its silent gimmick to avoid subtitle pushback.
Whether it wins or not has more to do with Oscar politics than the film's merit. A lack of statues can't deny the film's power. There's a scene where Georges describes going to see a film as a kid, unable to recall the story, but remembering breaking down in tears. The same goes for "Amour."
While its story is simple and its end-of-life depictions hard to watch, the film will make you look at your own parents and grandparents differently, appreciating every second you have with your loved ones and recalling love's true mantra: "in sickness and in health."

Edwardian Moonstone & Montana Sapphire Pendant
Delicate and feminine are apt words to describe this 14k yellow gold Edwardian pendant necklace incorporating the classic girandole form of three suspended elements.
Blue Montana sapphires, quite scarce these days, have been paired with majestic and exceptional blue moonstones to create an ethereal jewel. Simple symmetry and a harmony of color, size and configuration all add up to the perfect pendant necklace. Montana sapphires are always highly prized by those with allegiances to America and sapphires. Dating back to the very late 1890's, these sapphires are known for their singular blue color and first appeared in jewelry made in America shortly after.
Measurements: Just over 2 inches (5.1 cm) in length by 1 inch (2.5 cm) in width. Chain is 16 inches (19.9 cm) in total length and has two larger "O" fittings to shorten 1 or two inches (2.5 or 5 cm) if so desired. Weight of 10.1 grams (6.5 dwt).
Condition: Very good; minute amount of gold wear to the top of the bezel on one moonstone.
Date: Circa 1910 and is most likely American in origin.
Overall Scale: Small to medium.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

I think that Crusader only procs +60 Strength at lvl 70. It's less effective the higher you go above lvl 60.
Enchant Weapon - Crusader - Spell - World of Warcraft
I was poking around and looking at changing my tank weapon enchant, but thought I'd ask around before I committed some fair cash for mats.
The three enchants I'm looking at are::
Crusader - activation = 100 Str for 15 secs *minor heal ignored*
Mongoose - activation = 120 Agi for 15 secs
Potency - 20 Str every hit
I'm thinking that I might actually be going back to the Crusader enchant for my main weapon. During the course of a standard boss fight I remember it used to activate at least a couple times a minute, and that spells more DPS in the long run.
Forgive me if this question has been "done to death".
Thank you for your time.
I think that Crusader only procs +60 Strength at lvl 70. It's less effective the higher you go above lvl 60.
Enchant Weapon - Crusader - Spell - World of Warcraft
Honestly, I'm not sure which enchant to get either.
For me, it's a toss-up between Executioner and Potency. That 20 strength would work out to a lot of my abilities doing 0.75 x 40ap = 30 more dmg, and 10 block rating... and it's cheap. The Executioner's proc, though, also increases DPS by a decent margin.
Edit: with the +6% Str from 3/3 Vitality the AP turns out to be ~43, but yeah. I think Potency is a very competitive weapon enchant now, unless we start getting more Armor Penetration on our tanking gear, in which case Executioner becomes more potent.
Last edited by Ghladum; 10-31-2008 at 07:47 AM.
why not mongoose ? since druids have procs in forms now, i am thinking about having it but if it was so useful everyone should have it by now i was thinking and there is no one around with it... so what u guyz think about it ? doesnt it proc enough ?
Kedicik - Mongoose proc's just fine, hell it's what I currently use on my King's Defender. I'm just looking at minor tweaks trying to find the "better" option. Granted the differences may be minor overall. Personally I'm not sure I want to pay 200G for a 0.1% overall improvement. But if there is one that stands out front of the rest when used with the new warrior tallents/skills why not be the best I can be?
It's a new expansion and with the changes that I've seen over the years I realize that it's a good time to sit down and rethink all of the options. Heck, I had not even considered Executioner before this forum post, but thank you Eblan for the thought.
Explore Possibities.
While it has been 'done to death' pre 3.0 potency just took a big leap forward. Whether it will surpass executioner in dps I'm not sure but it is attractive. pre-3.0 mongoose was the best enchant for survivability and executioner was the best for threat. I have not math but I think executioner remains the best threat enchant and potency would lie somewhere in between executioner and mongoose.
Potency would be a nice bonus to say your block value set.
Mongoose on yer mitigation wep, for avoidance set.
Executioner on your threat wep, for trash, often times mixed with block value gear.
November 23, 2004 8:27:03 AM - Glomgore 10+ Years of tanking? Priceless
I've been using Mongoose on the Mallet of the Tides and something that is often forgotten is the crit bonus from the agility as well as the extra mitigation. It boosts by over 4% crit while raid buffed which is a substantial bonus, even more so now for warriors because of the crit bonus that we have for abilities. I've seen a jump in TPS of around 200-300 (Wasn't watching the meter to close) when it proc's.
Another enchant to consider is Deathfrost. The attack slow effect stacks with TC for an additional 15% on top of the 25% from TC. When it proc's it also hits for 150 adding to your dps. I've found that the debuff from it will remain constant throughout a fight when using a 2.6 speed weapon.
Last edited by Nektarious; 11-03-2008 at 09:45 PM. Reason: Agil->Crit percentage error
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
Deathfrost does not, to my knowledge, stack with thunderclap. Yes, the debuff pops up on the target, but the slow effect does not take place.Another enchant to consider is Deathfrost.

i have been going through the same thoughts as you guys..
i have:
KD with mongoose - for the boss fights when the extra def rating and speed of hits are needed.. the extra armor a bonus.
Blazefury - with executioner - for threat and bosses where i know im not gonna get sat on.
Rising tide - with executioner - for daily grinding and aoe trash killing ( so far im liking hte cleave with this and also shield slams in between).
Item Comparison Tool - World of Warcraft
Still not found anyone on my server who can do potency ..but i would consider potency on Blazefury.
There is just something about that extra 20 str ......
just my 2p.
(im still hoping that unbreakable will will drop, in which case potency or executioner goes on that one !).
Belgariad: EU : Lightnings Blade. Once a Tank. Always a Tank.
deathfrost "stacks" with TC because it has a spell slow on it as well.
If you like to devastate then Potency – pays dividends (hits harder) but IMO its kind'o pointless putting it on weapons like 'the toothpick of death' i.e. fast weapon + HS = no
