When I attended LSU, I took a course in Cajun history and there was a
visiting professor presiding. He was from France and was at LSU to
learn "country" French. Apparently, there are only two places in the
world where original French, not Parisian French, is spoken - the
Cajun country of Louisiana and Nova Scotia. He was studying the
differences and dialects (apparently there are five - can't remember
them all).

Interesting huh?

It is. I thought it was because the Acadians were from a particular part of
France. (different dialec than Quebec)
Read a few years ago that the French president at the time was quite
interested because he was also from the same area. (maybe Jacques Chirac)

That does seem odd, Tom, because French is spoken all over the world

Standard French: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_French

Standard French (in French: le français standard, le français neutre
[Neutral French] or le français international [International French])
is an unofficial term for a standard variety of the French language.
It is a set of spoken and written formal varieties used by the
educated francophones of several nations around the world. Standard
French is also the language of dictionaries and higher education, and
the main register for the press, television and radio broadcasting in
addition to government and business-related communication. As such it
is a prestige dialect.

Acadian French: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadian_French

Since there was no linguistic contact with France from the late
eighteenth century until the twentieth century, Acadian French
retained features that died out during the French standardization
efforts of the nineteenth century.

Although many aspects of this language (vocabulary, alveolar "r",
etc.) are still common in rural areas in the West of France, any
speakers of other dialects of French, such as speakers of Metropolitan
French, i.e. the French of France, and even of other Canadian
dialects, have difficulty understanding Acadian French, even when
spoken slowly.

See also Chiac, a mixed language based on French and English, and
Saint Mary's Bay French, a distinct variety of Acadian French spoken
around Saint Mary's Bay, Nova Scotia.

Original speakers of a language are isolated by geography, and as the

Most languages have variations of this.

True, but not in codified form. Standard French is intentionally kept
static to protect it's "linguistic purity and clarity" - essentially,
much like Latin in that it's fairly well set in stone.

Most languages adopt, adapt and/or otherwise include words and phrases
- in that sense you are right.

Original speakers of a language are isolated by geography, and as the
language moves on elsewhere, they don't.

Also true, but I read somewhere that "original" languages are becoming
more and more rare. There is an effort to retain and teach these
languages or at least preserve them.

Probably in a hundred years they'll be studying the people of
Collinsville to figure out what the word "grits" means.

Or Maryland to figure out what Paste Eater means.

Taurus PT911 - I did some target shooting with this one at the Rod and
Gun club a couple of months back. I like it - has a really nice feel
to it and seems to be a good general purpose weapon.

FN Herstal FNP-9: This one I own and I like it a lot. Has a very
nice feel to it and because I have large hands, the ability to swap
out the back stop was handy. When I sold my two Glocks, the local

I wouldn't say the best, but you can pick up a surplus Czech CZ-82 in
9mm Makarov for about $180. 12+1 capacity, accurate, easily stripped
and cleaned, and reliable. You can pick up 500 rds of ammo for a
little more than $200. Hard to go wrong.

Gun Tests sez:

Taurus Millennium PT111, $367, and PT911, $508. Don’t Buy.

FNP-9 Gun Tests gave it a C- for its ammo handling problems and lousy
trigger.

Apparently Tom prefers the eTec model pistols.

There are a number of very good 9mm pistols out there. Taurus never
comes to mind and FN's are second to third rate, and overpriced, too.


Glock makes a selection of 9 mm, and if you don't want a thumb safety,
they're pretty damned good. Springfield's XD's are very good, as are
SIGs, and CZ's.

Why buy a CZ 82 with its inferior Soviet Makarov cartridge when most of
the world prefers 9 mm Luger?

If you want a plain ordinary CZ in 9 mm, get a 75 B in one of the many
variants CZ offers. Far, far superior to the old 82, or the FN's or
Taurus Mr. Science recommends.

Boars Head of course.

I will put the FNP9 on my list to investigate. A quick read says it has

so good on the range for distance beyond 7 meteres.

Speaking of bread, who makes the best 9mm pistol under $1000?

I wouldn't say the best, but you can pick up a surplus Czech CZ-82 in
9mm Makarov for about $180. 12+1 capacity, accurate, easily stripped
and cleaned, and reliable. You can pick up 500 rds of ammo for a
little more than $200. Hard to go wrong.
I have heard there can be good deals on those but I want to stick with
something mainstream for now.
A CZ75BD is on my short list.
I also have seen and liked:
Baretta 92FS
and Sig 26

Russian ammo, especially the "Bear" brand, is notoriously dirty. The
Makarov cartridge was the SovBloc's response to the 9mm Luger round used
in non-communist Europe (and the rest of the world).

Was it the Baretta your son didn't like? Ask him what he didn't like if

I think with SIG you are paying mostly for bragging rights, but that

By the way, I read a few reviews on the FNP-9 and they were all

This is new Russian stuff, not surplus. Silver Bear and Brown Bear
ammo. It's not reloadable, but who cares? I made a typo on the
price, it's actually around $115 for 500 rounds of 94 gr. FMJ. Fun to

Shouldn't really - half the time you are buying on reputation anyway
no matter what it is. And sometimes you pay for that.

I wouldn't turn one down certainly.

liked a longer sight radius. No one bitched about the trigger, in fact

I liked it immediately. I have really stubby fingers and what with
the arthritis and joint swelling, the trigger action sold me right out
of the show case. And it fit my hand really nice with the optional
backstop.

I can see where the sight radius could be a problem, but I didn't find
it to be. I think a lot of that can come with how wide your eyes are
spaced - mine are wider than normal which provides a better
perspective. The barrel is thinner that you would expect, but not to
the point where I'd be concerned at all.

I honestly don't know - the Ranger Master bought it for spare ammo to
have around the club house just in case. When we started cleaning the

clean - like a black powder shotgun, had to soak the barrels for a few

Here - learn you something.

Standard French: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_French

Standard French (in French: le français standard, le français neutre
[Neutral French] or le français international [International French])
is an unofficial term for a standard variety of the French language.
It is a set of spoken and written formal varieties used by the
educated francophones of several nations around the world. Standard
French is also the language of dictionaries and higher education, and
the main register for the press, television and radio broadcasting in
addition to government and business-related communication. As such it
is a prestige dialect.

Acadian French: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadian_French

Since there was no linguistic contact with France from the late
eighteenth century until the twentieth century, Acadian French
retained features that died out during the French standardization
efforts of the nineteenth century.

Although many aspects of this language (vocabulary, alveolar "r",
etc.) are still common in rural areas in the West of France, any
speakers of other dialects of French, such as speakers of Metropolitan
French, i.e. the French of France, and even of other Canadian
dialects, have difficulty understanding Acadian French, even when
spoken slowly.

See also Chiac, a mixed language based on French and English, and
Saint Mary's Bay French, a distinct variety of Acadian French spoken
around Saint Mary's Bay, Nova Scotia.

OK, but the Germans still make the best bread in Europe.

No way. The Italians do.

Hell, the Italians can't even make decent pizza dough. The French do
better at bread than the damn Italians.

Biscotti maybe.

Speaking of bread, who makes the best 9mm pistol under $1000?

In my opinion? Two come to mind, both I've used, one I own.

Taurus PT911 - I did some target shooting with this one at the Rod and
Gun club a couple of months back. I like it - has a really nice feel
to it and seems to be a good general purpose weapon.

FN Herstal FNP-9: This one I own and I like it a lot. Has a very
nice feel to it and because I have large hands, the ability to swap
out the back stop was handy. When I sold my two Glocks, the local
gunsmith recommended this one. It's a good choice for carry purposes
as it fits really nicely into my tuck holster.

Speaking of 9mm pistols, who makes the best commercial hot dog?

Hebrew National quarter pounders. No question. Don't give me any of
that Nathan's crap either.

That is very cool.



See also Chiac, a mixed language based on French and English, and
Saint Mary's Bay French, a distinct variety of Acadian French spoken
around Saint Mary's Bay, Nova Scotia.
OK, but the Germans still make the best bread in Europe.

No way. The Italians do.
Speaking of bread, who makes the best 9mm pistol under $1000?

Kimber.

If they hadn't quit making them, I would have said Best's Kosher.
I read that when Sara Lee stopped Best's, Comiskey Park went to Vienna
Beef.
Vienna Beef was always a Chicago hot dog stand favorite, but I don't
recall seeing them packaged at the store. We always went with Best's.
Have to look for them.
I want to try the Hebrew National and Nathans too.
Wife bought some dogs this summer and they were flat terrible.
Told her not to buy any more until I find a suitable replacement for
Best's. So I've been suffering by sticking with brats until then.
Must say it hasn't been very painful.

You're *not* "right here in New Haven CT," s.f.b.

I didn't play high school basketball, but I remember the coach at the
time had a piece of cardboard neatly taped to the top of the door to his
office. It lowered the "clearance" to 6'. There was a sign on it that
said, "If you can walk through without ducking, you're probably too
short to make this team!"

It was a joke, of course...but most of the players I remember were 6' plus.

Our short boy Tuskie could have been towel boy in the showers.

The coach was a fellow named Sam Bender...and "...Sam Bender left
Hillhouse after compiling a 435-145 record and capturing nine state
trophies and six New England championships in his 25 years."

My high school was like that in hockey.
Basketball & football...not so much.
