Looking back now, I did notice some things about Russ, but nothing to suggest anything of any significance at the time. Sometimes I would be up at Chalk River, AECL or Deep River for a day. Arriving home, Russ might see me in my coveralls and casually ask me where I was. When I mentioned Deep River, no further comments, subject changed. Russ was very secretive and we did not know that he spent early childhood years in Deep River. We knew nothing of his family, did not know he had a brother, he avoided any mentioning of his past or family.

There's a picture of George White, the neighbor of RW/MEH at link below.

"...Ottawa resident George White was a friend of Williams and admits he will never know why Williams did what he did. Snip>

George White lived a couple of doors away from Williams and considered him a good friend.

"I'd really like to know, but I won't live long enough to know why, because it will never come out in my lifetime," he said. "My understanding is there's going to be no explanation — [he'll plead] guilty, that's it." Snip>

New Mineral in Honour of NRC-CNBC Scientist

November 12, 2010 — Chalk River, Ontario

Lachlan Cranswick (1968-2010) who worked at the NRC Canadian Neutron Beam Centre located at Chalk River Laboratories is being honoured posthumously for his scientific work in crystallography.

As a crystallographer and mineralogist, Lachlan specialized in applying neutron beams to the studies of materials science, structural chemistry, magnetism and geology. He assisted many scientists and students from universities across Canada to apply these scientific tools to advance their research programs. Lachlan Cranswick was passionate about ensuring access to the highest quality facilities for those scientists.

Mr. Cranswick’s accomplishments have been honoured in the naming of a new mineral, ‘cranswickite.’

Small deposits of cranswickite were found near Calingasta, Argentina while testing an instrument that is scheduled to be aboard the next NASA mission to Mars. Professor R.C. Peterson of Queen’s University analyzed samples and determined cranswickite to have a unique chemical composition, MgSO4 · 4H2O, and atomic structure previously unobserved in nature.

The new mineral is named in honor of Lachlan M. D. Cranswick (b. 1968-2010) a crystallographer and mineralogist who helped to developed and maintain the Collaborative Computational Project No. 14 in Powder and Small Molecule Single Crystal Diffraction (CCP14).

Lachlan's family and friends must feel very proud, because although I have only known him through his remarkable website, I feel good knowing that he has been honoured in this way!

Just curious if GW is one and the same GW who was president of Frontenac Ventures (uranium, Sharbot Lake, etc)

BERLIN - German writer Charlotte Roche offered in an interview Sunday to spend the night with President Christian Wulff if he votes against government plans to extend the lifetime of Germany's nuclear reactors.

"I am offering to sleep with him if he does not sign," the 32-year-old anti-nuclear activist told the weekly Der Spiegel.

"My husband agrees. Now it is up to the First Lady to give her consent," she said. "I am tattooed."

Roche, British-born author of the sexually explicit 2008 bestseller "Wetlands", took part in major demonstrations last week against the transport of radioactive waste that underlined unease in Germany over nuclear power.

Wulff has to decide this year if a law prolonging the lifetime of the country's 17 nuclear reactors by up to 14 years should be enacted without the consent of the Bundesrat, the upper chamber of parliament that represents the regions.

The hotly disputed plans were approved by cabinet in September and will postpone by more than a decade to around 2035 the date when Europe's biggest economy abandons nuclear power

I happened to be rummaging around LC's site tonite, and was surprised when I clicked on one of his links to find that Fort Coulonge (where RW's inlaws / MEH's parents are buried) is in very close proximity to Isle-aux-Allumettes:

LC's page with links (some of which are defunct):

Map showing Fort Coulonge:

I don't see a reference/legend relating to the numbers on the map above map.

Here are LC's pics taken when he was in Coulonge June 11 2006:

A team of researchers, including several from Canada, is claiming to have achieved something only previously done in movies like Angels and Demons — the capture of antimatter.


Antimatter has an electronic makeup that's exactly the opposite to matter. It does not exist naturally, but scientists believe when the universe was created, matter and antimatter existed in equal amounts.


"In the beginning, (antimatter) must have been there, but if you look at the universe now, including around us, you don't see any antimatter," said Makoto Fujiwara, an assistant physics professor at the University of Calgary and also a research scientist at Vancouver-based TRIUMF, Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics.


The breakthrough announced Wednesday, outlined in a report published in the scientific journal Nature, is the result of more than five years of work at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) near Geneva, Switzerland. It is world's largest particle-physics lab, and the only one capable of this kind of research.

Been studying that all day, Max. You may have hit a homer with all bases loaded with this one!

Keep talkin', Georgie, keep talkin'.

Did you find anything of interest??? Unbelievable coincidence!

Thanks for the interest, panther. Yes, I followed some thoughts and came to a stopping place. Each can conclude for yourself whether there is any substance to my dot connections.

I started with wondering :
GW said RW seldom (never ?) initiated a conversation, yet when RW saw GW out in the yard in his coveralls, he would come over and ask where GW had been that day.

I finally concluded there must be some kind of business logo on the coveralls; that GW worked for that company; and that the work took him out of town (Ottawa) to such places as those he named (DR, CR, AECL).

What kind of work? Well, we know that GW retired from the CAF as a technician; thus logically he worked for a company servicing airplanes, logically a company based in Ottawa where GW lived. With his age and experience, it is likely that most of the time he supervised, trained, and inspected the work of younger, less experienced technicians, so maybe he wore the coveralls only on out of town jobs.

After some searching, I settled on the company at the link below where you will see a picture showing a group of 4 people who made up the company on 09/30/2006, the date on the pic. The 4 people are not named. Notice the man in the ball cap who is second from the left.

It is reasonable that such a flying service would go to the areas with a small flying club or a one-man operation to service planes as needed.

GW stated he was 71 years old (or 74?) in the article that showed his picture. Compare the two pictures, allowing that we seniors age faster up in those brackets and 4 years can change appearances really fast.

Here is link to the current picture of GW:

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/ottawa/story/2010/10/07/ottawa-williams-reaction.html

Next question I asked myself was: Why would it interest RW to know where GW had been that day? Well, I think RW was scheming to set GW up as the suspect in some of his crimes just as he did Mr. Jones in Tweed. If RW had committed crimes in any of the places where GW had worked on the out of town trips, then RW would log that info in for future use if needed.

All just speculation.

:crazy:

:other_beatingA_Dead Remember the blue box, panther.

Different topic: Do you folks know about "limited hangouts" ? imo, the limit set in RW's case is no going beyond 2007....

SEOUL/WASHINGTON - The top U.S. envoy on North Korea heads to Seoul on Sunday to discuss ways to thwart Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions amid fresh concerns about its uranium enrichment program
http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/2010/11/21/16245971.html

The scientist, Siegfried S. Hecker, a Stanford professor who previously directed the Los Alamos National Laboratory, said in an interview that he had been “stunned” by the sophistication of the new plant, where he saw “hundreds and hundreds” of centrifuges that had just been installed in a recently gutted building that had housed an aging fuel fabrication center, and that were operated from what he called “an ultra-modern control room.” The North Koreans claimed 2,000 centrifuges were already installed and running, he said.

American officials know that the plant did not exist in April 2009, when the last Americans and international inspectors were thrown out of the country. The speed with which it was built strongly suggests that the impoverished, isolated country, which tested its first nuclear device in 2006, had foreign help and evaded strict new United Nations Security Council sanctions imposed to punish its rejection of international controls
