Was a good one, for sure.
I don't mind sequels, but they have to be done properly, which seems to be near impossible.
The only thing I wasn't totally fond of was a frenchy playing a Scot.... again (damn those conniving frogs!).
;-)

Shit triple post, but I tend to give the French a lot more leeway than other due to the fact they are a big reason we won the revolution, and democracy n all.

I mean, they had Sean Connery, for crying out loud.
The movie could have EASILY had him play MacLeod.
It probably would have better, too.

I give the french of old a bit of credit, but they did it to weaken a common enemy that they had been at war with nearly constantly, and had recently been defeated by in The Seven Years War. They wanted revenge, and they also didn't want England to seize control of the Atlantic Ocean, which would have happened if they'd been able to hold onto the colonies over here.
The french kings & queens were (like all royalty) extremely conniving in all that they did. Everything had a reason and a goal.
But they did help, and we are free (?) today because of it, and we have a manly lady statue in NY harbor from them, to boot.

And, though I am not of french blood (was adopted by a white family), my dad is, and my name ends in "eaux".
He's cajun, and can't stand the french. Not in a hateful way, he was just raised with the knowledge of what the french did to the french citizens who were forced out of Canada and tried to go back to france, only to be jailed (in The Bastille), interrogated (tortured) and kicked out of france because they "couldn't be trusted" since they had co-mingled with the brits.
My dad's ancestor was the man who was responsible for the second boat full of french refugees to land in Louisiana in the early 1700's.
I don't get pissed when the frogs call us yanks or "stupid Americans" (and worse), even considering we helped out in WWII and turned the tide of the war so that they could remain "free".
It all evens out in the end.

*edit: I also ALWAYS make sure to ask for a bottle of ketchup when I go to a french restaurant, just as a friendly jab ;-)

I don't even LIKE ketchup.
I just screw the top off and put the bottle prominently in the middle fo the table for all to see.
But I also make sure to ask for the ketchup AFTER the food has been served.
Mama didn't raise no fool.

PLANT OF THE WEEK
Dr. T. Ombrello - UCC Biology Department

FASCINATING FASCIATED PLANTS

Nature makes "mistakes" all the time, producing animals and plants that are different from typical members of their species. Many of these "mistakes" are called mutations, and have a genetic basis that can be passed on to future generations. Mutations that provide a favorable adaptation can become incorporated over time into most if not all of the members of a species. Unfavorable or non-adaptive mutations are often eliminated from a population. This natural selection process by nature is the driving force behind evolution.
One interesting type of mistake that is occasionally found in plants is known as a fasciated or crested growth form. It is usually the result of a growing point changing from a round dome of cells into a crescent shape. Subsequent growth produces a flat stem. In some cases fasciation is the result of several embryonic growing points fusing together, with the same flat-stem appearance.
Fasciated stems look strange. Leaves, flowers, and fruits often develop unusual shapes and appear at odd angles to the stem. Some, looking like hand-held fans, have led to the descriptive term "crested". Nature usually eliminates fasciated tissues. Branches or even whole plants with this condition are overshadowed by normal branches or plants of the species, and do not last long.
Humans are fascinated by fasciated plants. Their unusual shapes make them prized by many in horticulture. Most can be perpetuated by vegetative propagation, and are designated as cultivars of the species. Some noteworthy examples are: crested saguaro cactus, fasciated Japanese cedar, and fantail willow. Less frequently, the fasciation is carried from generation to generation by seed, with the fasciation only manifesting itself in the flowers and subsequent fruit. Some examples would include crested cockscomb celosias and beefsteak tomatoes. (If you have ever wondered why beefsteak tomatoes have such unusual shapes, look at their flowers and you will readily see why).
What causes plants to produce fasciated stems? For the most part, we just don't know. Fasciation has been induced experimentally by applications of plant hormones, severe pruning, wounding, and atypical day lengths. Most, however, appear by chance with no obvious cause.
Rarely does a year go by without my discovering fasciated stems on wild and domesticated plants. Recent finds have included dandelion, asparagus, raspberry, black-eyed susan, and the tree of heaven (Ailanthus). If you look carefully you will see them too. Finding these fascinating fasciations offers small but intriguing rewards for observing nature.




where did you get those pics doob??

Did a search with google for "flattened plant stems".
Came up with the article on it first, and then did an image search.
I wasn't expecting to find pics of cannabis flowers from a fasciated plant, so was pretty neat to see them.
And never new beefsteak tomatoes were a result of this condition.

In fact, they had a pic of a flattened cannabis stem that was near the top of the branch, and it looked like a stem that had tried to grow into two separate stems.
The side branches had just started alternating, then the flattening of the stem between nodes, and the next node up had twin stems:

5 more hours until I meet with our real estate agent and the Home Inspector that I hired to check out the house we're buying.
If there are no problems to be addressed with the house before we buy it, then we will close escrow on May 17th, and will start moving in on May 22nd.
Got our interest rate locked in at 3.625%, which means our mortgage payment will be $16 a month more than our current rent is.
:cool:

Make em fix everything you can. One of the major regrets I have with buying my house was we really really wanted it and didn't want to 'push' the sellers to do a bunch of fixes. Stupid stupid decision. Have them fix anything you can get them too.

EDIT: Damn your rent is cheap. Rent around here is $800/ mo for a two bedroom. The mortgage payments on them is something like $350.

I judge each person as a single entity and not as a national representative.
Ther are sooo many great ppl out there over the whole world, but its our Govt's job to keep us scared of them all.
I sure didnt have any slaves and hate those who did, yet I am (white)(whatever that means?)
Can you guess my ancestry based on white, as if that doesnt matter?
I think the term white is derogatory and takes away my individuality, but that is a different rant.

I live in the land of taxes. Rent for a 2 bedroom is about the same as a house payment w/taxes in escrow. Before our house burnt down we payed $725 mortgage payment. $400 went to escrow for school and property tax. I live out in the sticks and my kids live 5 hours away. I'm lucky if they even plow my road. Talk about legal robbery!
