|The Cooperstown editorial makes one wonder what
impact industrial wind would have on Death Valley's
mysterious "sailing stones".
Cooperstown, NY editorial says no to upstate industrial wind.
6 comments:
Hey NY. There are a lot of places people don't live. Fill Adirondack Park with them. The wastelands of the Catskills. If they are so necessary to our future then that's the place. And, I am serious. Just don't bother the people who already have homes.

Having grown up in the Delaware County, dairy country and very much a part of the Catskill region, I take issue with calling it a "wasteland." Once among the largest milk producing counties in the nation, its natural resources include excellent trout fishing, upland small and large game hunting, breath taking vistas that deserve a better future than one related to the wind industry. People live and work there, have homes and raise their families there. They too deserve better.

According to blathering Bill Owens there are places in the eastern district that want them.
- 3/25/2012
Bill Owens has been saying that. But it will cost a lot of votes from us who are being targeted by North Eastern St. Lawrence County. Mr. Owens did not check with his supporters before he mad that claim.
- 3/25/2012
Reminder that Bill Owens has abandoned us an favors the PCT for the very industrial wind that would destroy our region.

If so much electricity is needed and most of it possibly destined for the New York City area then New York State should set a strong example by letting hundreds of wind turbines be erected down there on Long Island where there is an abundance of great wind. Also the transmission power grid would be a much shorter distance to the consumers. Don't hold your breath for that to ever happen.

Syrup was adding wasteful calories and too sweet for me, well I've discovered apple sauce is just as good and tasty. Try it and let me know what you think! I use it on French toast, pancakes and my Belgium waffles to name a few
Honey, rice syrup,organic dehydrated cane juice. anything ending in OSE,, sorbitol, Sorghum or sorghum syrup, Corn syrup, or corn syrup solids AND CORN SWEETNERMolasses, maltose, Malt syrup, Fruit juice concentrate, Dextrin, Lactose, Invert sugar.... these are all just sugar.READ THE LABELS ..WRITE THEM DOWN AND STAY AWAY FROM THEM...THEY JUST ADD CALORIES AND POUNDS!
Whether you are using real syrup, low sugar syrup, jam diluted with water on your pancakes you can get more flavor per bite and consume less syrup if you don't pour the syrup over your pancakes.

The Queen's Royal Irish Hussars, abbreviated as QRIH, was a cavalry regiment of the British Army formed from the amalgamation of the 4th Queen's Own Hussars and the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars in Hohne, West Germany in 1958.[2]
The Regimental Journal and the Polo Team were nicknamed 'The Crossbelts',[3] which was taken from a nickname earned by the 8th Hussars at the Battle of Alemenaro in 1710. Many customs and practices of the two predecessor regiments were retained by the QRIH, such as the green and gold tent hat worn without a badge which was used by officers.[4][5]
The regiment was amalgamated with The Queen's Own Hussars on 1 September 1993, to form The Queen's Royal Hussars (The Queen's Own and Royal Irish).[4]
Both regiments were in Germany at the time of amalgamation and stayed there as an armoured car regiment until 1961 when it was moved to Aden (via England) in 1961, reroling as an armoured reconnaissance regiment and after serving there against insurgents for almost a year, sailed on the SS Oxfordshire to the newly independent nation of Malaysia.[6] It was based in Ipoh, Malaysia from October 1962, and saw limited action against Indonesian insurgents, seeing service in Brunei and Sarawak on jungle operations during the Indonesian confrontation, and in Singapore as part of the Internal Security Forces. Returning to West Germany in 1964 the regiment was based in Wolfenbüttel, near the East German border as part of NATO forward defences.[6] Further deployments were:
- 1968–1970: United Kingdom, Recce Role at Perham Down until 1969, then RAC Centre regiment, Bovington.[6]
- 1970–1979: Paderborn at Barker Barracks, as part of the 7th Armoured Brigade.[6]
- 1974–1977: Cyprus, whilst based in Paderborn, as part of the UN peacekeeping force following the invasion of the northern part of the island by Turkey.[6]
- 1979–1982: United Kingdom, including short tours to Rhodesia and Cyprus. Main body of the regiment was based at Bhurtpore Barracks in Tidworth as the UKLF (reserve) tank regiment, with C Squadron detached to the School of Infantry at Warminster where it was used in the role of RAC Demonstration Squadron.[6]
- 1982–1988: Münster, York Barracks, as part of the 4th Armoured Brigade, 3rd Armoured Division, British Army of the Rhine. During this posting the regiment celebrated its Tercentenary and was presented with a new Guidon by HRH Prince Phillip.[6]
- 1983: Northern Ireland, whilst based at Münster, as Prison Guard Force at Maze Prison.[6]
- United Kingdom 1988–1990 – Half the regiment to Cambrai Barracks, Catterick, RAC Training Regiment. The other half as RAC Centre Regiment, Bovington.[6]
- Fallingbostel 1990–1995[6]
- Iraq (1991), Gulf War (whilst based at Fallingbostel) and under the command of Lt Col Arthur Denaro following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, spearheading the 7th Armoured Brigade 100 hour advance, reprising the role of Desert Rats as performed by both predecessor regiments in World War 2 in the North African Campaign.[6]
Victoria Crosses include:
- James Champion – Full list of medals [7]
- Joseph Ward
- John Pearson
- Samuel Parkes
- Clement Walker Heneage
- George Hollis
The regiment celebrated two special days in each year. St Patrick's Day and Balaklava Day (celebrating the Charge of the Light Brigade). On most occasions these were holidays for all soldiers with sporting activities during the day and celebrations in the evening. These holidays began with the quaint tradition of senior nco's serving Gunfire [1] (a mixture of tea and rum) to junior soldiers as a morning wake-up drink. During active operations the festivities were suspended but the occasion always marked in some way. On St Patrick's Day each soldier would wear a sprig of shamrock, normally presented by the honorary colonel, Prince Phillip who assumed the role upon the death of Sir Winston Churchill.
The regimental motto was the Latin Mente et Manu of the 4th Hussars, meaning With Mind and Hand which was inscribed on the cap badge and regimental crest. The motto of the 8th Hussars was also retained Pristinae Virtutis Memores (Mindful of former valour).
The Regimental Quick March was "The Queen's Royal Irish Hussars" (an arrangement of St Patrick's Day, Berkley's Dragoons and The Galloping Queen's Hussar, preceded by the regimental trumpet call).[8]
The regimental slow march was "Litany of Loreto".[8]
The regimental hymn was Abide With Me.
The regimental song was "The Galloping Queen's Hussar" (A version of the "Galloping 8th Hussar" from the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars):[8]
- The Regimental Song
I'm a soldier in the Queen's Army
I'm galloping Queen's Hussar
I've sailed the ocean wide and blue,
I'm a chap who knows a thing or two,
Been in many a tight corner,
Shown the enemy who we are,
I can ride a horse,
Go on a spree, or sing a comic song,
And that denotes a Queen's Hussar!
The Regimental Pipes and Drums[edit]
The Pipes and Drums were first formed in Paderborn in November 1972, in preparation for a parade on 17 March 1973 for St. Patrick's Day as a joint brain child of the then Commanding Officer Lt Col BR O'Rorke and Lord St Oswald, (8th Hussars) and the RSM, WO1 William James (Jim) McLucas MBE who obtained as much as he could from the Royal Irish Rangers as well as organising fund raising events and raffles to purchase equipment as the regiment wasn't on army establishment for free supply. The Commanding Officer designed and purchased pipe banners, and the Lord St Oswald had a set of bagpipes especially made in Glasgow for donating to the COs Piper. RSM McLucas managed to produce six pipers who performed for the first time on St Patrick's Day of that year. A subsequent posting to Cyprus for part of the emergent band prevented future development. This and a general disapproval of the concept by some senior officers meant that the band declined. An attempt by SNCOs to rejuvenate it in 1982 failed, again due to lack of support at senior level. The regiment had moved to Muenster and had access to instruction from the locally based Irish Guards pipes and drums but without the support of the Colonel the attempt foundered leaving only two pipers properly clothed and able to parade. It wasn't until Lt Col Sir Charles Lowther Bt, took command in 1987 that a further effort was made. RSM McLucas (by now a major and quartermaster) had expressed the wish that the Pipe band be reformed. Col Lowther agreed and organised a plan, as a result the band was formed and approved by the MOD and placed on the establishment.
The pipe band originally consisted of just two pipers but no drums, the uniform was a saffron kilt with a green piper's jacket, and a Saffron Cloak. After two years the band grew by adding four drummers and was now in a position to carry out more challenging engagements.
By the end of the 1970s and the start of the 1980s the pipe band received its first Pipe Major, Pipe Major Jimmy Walker, which in turn helped to improve the musical talents within the pipe band. To perform at the Royal Tournament in London was one of the main driving focus's at the time. Sadly this was not achieved until 1996 (after amalgamation) Under Pipe Major Walker's Successor, Pipe Major David Johnson who joined the regiment and the Pipe Band from the Irish Guards in Munster in 1988.
As with all armoured regiments the structure was based around the squadron concept. The number of troops in a squadron changed and so did the number of squadrons but the basic premise remained and has carried on after amalgamation.
Headquarter Squadron (HQ Sqn) – command, control and administration. Recce and Guided Weapons troops were also a component part of HQ Sqn.
A Squadron (D of E Sqn) – Sabre*
B Squadron (B Sqn) – Sabre
C Squadron (C Sqn) – Sabre
D Squadron (D Sqn) – Sabre
- The designation "Sabre" indicates a fighting squadron, a throwback to the days of horses.
- "D of E Sqn" refers to an honorary title and means Duke of Edinburgh Squadron. Prior to 1979 the sabre squadrons would compete to be the best and the honour would be bestowed upon the winner for a year and indicated on the squadron flag flown outside squadron HQ. The competition was suspended in 1979 as C (D of E) Sqn was detached to Warminster. Following the return to Germany in 1982 it was decreed the A Sqn would assume the title for all time.
Although having re-equipped on several occasions to deal with emergency postings such as Malaya, Aden, Cyprus and Northern Ireland, the regiment's main role was almost always as a Main Battle Tank regiment of the Royal Armoured Corps.
Post amalgamation, the two types used by the regiment were primarily Centurion and Chieftain. As with all MBT regiments however the QRIH did have other armoured vehicles in service in parallel with their main role. These included:
During the first Gulf War when the regiment deployed it did so with, what was then, the latest British main battle tank, Challenger or as it is now referred to since the introduction of the second of the Challenger series Challenger 1.
In addition, for command, control and administration, some "soft skinned" vehicles were also in use:
- Bedford Trucks known as "3 Tonners" and "4 Tonners"
- Stalwart
- Land Rovers
Some vehicles were modified for specific use with an armoured regiment. Some 4 ton trucks for example had a modular set of fuel tanks with dispensing nozzles to increase the speed at which tanks could be refueled during combat (much faster and cleaner than emptying Jerrycans of fuel into the 220 gallon fuel tanks). Others even more notably such as the Armoured Recovery Vehicle (ARV) used by the mechanics and fitters from the REME who were responsible for the recovery and repair of broken down or damaged vehicles.
The regiment went to Brunei and Sarawak on jungle operations during the Indonesian confrontation as part of the Internal Security Forces in Singapore.[9] Garrisoned in Ipoh, Singapore and Sarawak, the Squadrons rotated through this series of widely dispersed camps, patrolling to keep the peace from being broken by Indonesian communist forces, with whom there was some limited fighting.[10] Carrying out foot and vehicle patrols and vehicle checkpoints in Saladin and Ferret armoured cars. 5001 Squadron RAF Airfield Construction unit was guarded by The Queens Royal Irish Hussars and a small force of Sarawak Rangers. based at Tawau, Sabah mid to late 1965. Accommodated at Camp Glenn.[11] Maj.John Paley MC, took 'C' Sqn, QRIH to Kuching, Sarawak in Dec 62 and became COMBRITBOR, Commander British Forces Borneo, then Lt. Col. John Strawson arrived and as he was CO QRIH he assumed the title.[12] Soldiers from the regiment also carried out searches for arms to prevent them falling into the hands of communist guerrillas, this included searching private houses.[13]
Gulf War One[edit]
The Gulf War took place between 2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991, code named Operation Desert Storm by the United States Military but called Operation Granby by the British.
Prior to the war the regiment had just arrived in Fallingbostel as part of the 7th Armoured Brigade, (under the command of Brigadier Patrick Cordingley) 1st (UK) Armoured Division and was engaged in training on the Soltau-Lüneburg Training Area known to all as Soltau.[14] The Colonel, Lt Col Arthur Denaro was recovering from a polo accident four weeks earlier when he had broken his skull in four places requiring a metal plate to be inset but was still taking part in the exercise.[15] The other regiments in the brigade had recently undergone intensive training at BATUS in Canada which the hussars missed out on having just arrived with the British Army of the Rhine.[15]
The regiment trooped to the port city of Al Jubayl (scene of a later suspected chemical attack)[16] and awaited the arrival of their 57 Challenger 1 tanks[17] and other equipment. After the arrival of everything, grease had to be cleaned off, sand filters etc. fitted before the regiment made its way by tank transporter into the desert.[18] After which training for the forthcoming combat began.[19] At one point depleted uranium ammunition was issued at the rate of five rounds per tank. During one training day 14 of the 57 tanks broke down causing serious concerns for Col Denaro.[20]
The Iraqi army knew the regiment was coming. Air bombardment and media interest ensured that they were well warned. Tanks and artillery were dug in across a wide front to provide a warm reception for the allies from the world's fourth largest army.[21] Casualty figures were predicted to be as high as 15000 for the allies, even General Schwarzkopf, the allied commander of land forces, estimated 5000.[22]
H Hour was at 0300hrs on 24 February 1991: (G Day). The regiment was given the order to cross the start line at 0315hrs. With helicopters providing reconnaissance the tanks advanced to contact at speed. The first contact was not until 1628hrs when an Iraqi trench position was engaged with machine gun fire before surrendering.[23]
On G+2 reports of a counterattack began to arrive at brigade HQ. D Sqn under Captain (Acting Major) Toby Madison picked up fourteen thermal image contacts at maximum range and engaged. The battle went on for 90 minutes. Madison received the Military Cross for his command of the squadron in this action. The Iraqis were at a severe disadvantage as they had no night vision capability and were out-ranged by the British tanks with their thermal gunnery sights and superior tank guns.[24] Captain Tim Purbrick commanding 4th Troop described firing fin at an Iraqi T55 tank, "Our second round entered its glacis plate and exited through the gearbox at the rear, igniting its ammunition and destroying the tank at a range of three thousand six hundred metres." [25] This showed the phenomenal range, accuracy and penetrating power of the L11A5 manufactured by Vickers plc.
Large numbers of prisoners were now surrendering to the regiment. They were passed rearwards to Regimental sergeant major Johnny Muir's party who did their best to feed them and keep them safe. Rations were limited however as no-one had considered that an armoured unit would have to deal with POW's so often the food supplied wasn't as nourishing as that provided to the troops. Items such as Oatmealbiscuits, which were effectively left overs from ration packs were given along with water. One Iraqi medical officer expressed concern that he and his fellow POW's were going to be shot. The RSM assured him that "we are not barbarians".[26]
The regiment continued its advance, destroying all in its path until it arrived at the map line "Platinum" at which point a halt was called for sleep for the first time in 48 hours. On G+3 the regiment resumed its advance in the company of the Scots DG, the other armoured regiment in 7 Armd Bde. The regiment entered Kuwait through Wadi al Batin. After fifteen kilometres travel recce troop stopped to collect prisoners and were fired up by two U.S. Abrams tanks, wounding Cpl Lynch and Cpl Balmforth, following this up by engaging Command Troop as it passed by.[27]
Following the blue on blue incident Brigadier Cordingly ordered all vehicles to fly flags, banners or anything they could lay their hands on to show they were friendly. He felt the campaign was coming to a close and that vehicles from all nationalities were roaming everywhere and that this would lead to more friendly fire incidents. The Irish Hussars didn't disappoint. Union flags and Ulster Banners quickly appeared. Col Denaro, a Roman Catholic from Donegal led the advance into Kuwait from that point onwards with an Ulster flag supplied by his Northern Ireland Protestant crew fluttering from one of his tank's antennae.[28]
The regiment was then tasked on G+4 to take possession of the Basra to Kuwait City highway to prevent retreating Iraqi forces from escaping. This was done by 0800hrs. The ceasefire was then announced so the regiment went firm and started putting up bivouacs and tents.[29]
As the regiment left the area heading back to Al Jubayl for "de-bombing" the RSM was stopped by some civilians who said, "Thank you for giving us back our country", which seemed to him to be a fitting end to the deployment.[30]
The regiment lost no casualties, no tanks were disabled or knocked out by enemy fire, and it took part in the destruction of over three hundred Iraqi tanks in a four-day period.[31]
Colonel Denaro's Challenger 1 tank named "Churchill" is now preserved at The Tank Museum, Bovington with the list of its crew, Corporal John Nutt, Corporal Gerry McKenna, and Trooper les Hawkes[32]
Ceremonial Colonels[edit]
The first Colonel in Chief was Sir Winston Churchill who was known as the "Greatest Hussar of all time". After his death in 1965 Cornets from the Regiment stood vigil over his catafaulque in Westminster and carried his coffin to the funeral train and to the graveside.[33][34] The Colonelcy then passed to Prince Phillip who retained the position until amalgamation.
The last Colonel of the Regiment was Major General John Strawson,[35] the eminent military author and historian. Former commanding officer of the 4th Hussars and the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars who saw service in various theatres during World War Two.
Battle honours[edit]
There is a combined total of 538 years service from the formation of the parent regiments until the amalgamation which was to create the QRIH. During this time 102 battle honours were awarded to the regiments. 40 of these appeared on the QRIH guidon as shown in the table below.[36]

The regimental journal[edit]
The regimental journal was called Crossbelts, a name which is still used today with the successor regiment. Published annually the magazine of approximately 150 pages was printed on good quality paper with a bound spine. The front cover carried the year of publication as well as identifying artwork peculiar to the regiment.
The contents included a foreword from the Colonel in Chief, a round up of the previous years events including squadron reports with many images. In latter years some images were in colour. Every officer and soldier serving with the regiment was named including lists of those on posting. An obituary section was published at the rear. Historical articles and other interesting items were published from those who had served in various conflicts.
Sports occupied some pages with football, boxing and polo featuring every year. Alongside these could be found details of regimental marriages of all ranks. Wives Club, messes, Old Comrades and a forecast of up and coming events also featured.
The journal contained advertising from companies who supplied good to the regiment or who invited officers and soldiers to purchase their wares, for example: tailors, car sales, banks and travel companies.
The journal also contained information on the Regimental Association and other sources of help for those leaving the regiment.
The magazines have now become collectors items and the Regimental Association has also issued back copies on CD.

|Sir Charles Edward Saunders
February 2, 1867
London, Canada West
|July 25, 1937
(aged 70)
Toronto, Ontario
|Known for
|Marquis Wheat
|Notable awards
|Flavelle Medal (1925)
Sir Charles Edward Saunders, FRSC (February 2, 1867 – July 25, 1937) was a Canadian agronomist. He was the inventor of Marquis Wheat.
Born in London, Canada West, he received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto in 1888. From 1888 to 1893, he specialized in chemistry at summer school at Harvard University. In 1891, he received a Ph.D from Johns Hopkins University. He married Mary Blackwell.
Saunders Secondary School in London, Ontario is named for him and other members of his prominent family, including his father, chemist William Saunders.
- In 1921, he was made a Fellow of The Royal Society of Canada.
- In 1921, he was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws and Letters by the University of Western Ontario.
- In 1925, he was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science from the University of Toronto.
- In 1925, he received the Royal Society of Canada's Flavelle Medal for Science.
Saunders learned most of what he knew about hybridization at home through his family. Some of his earliest memories are of driving with his father to a fruit farm outside the city limits, where he would help him hybridize grapes, currants, raspberries, and gooseberries.
In 1888, Saunders received the Bachelor of Arts in chemistry from the University of Toronto. In 1891, he received a Ph.D for chemistry from Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, Maryland. From 1892 to 1893, Saunders was the Professor of Chemistry at Central University in Kentucky. Between 1894 and 1903, he studied flute with E. M. Heindl of the Boston Symphony Orchestra at the New England Conservatory of Music and with Eugene Weiner of the New York Philharmonic Club. He also received voice training.
Before 1900[edit]
1894 Saunders opened two studios in Toronto, announcing that in addition to accepting commissions for concerts and recitals, he was available to train students in voice and flute.
1895-1896 Became a columnist in The Week, writing about various aspects of music.
1900 to 1920[edit]
1903 William Saunders, Charles' father, appointed him Experimentalist, a title that became Cerealist in 1905 and Dominion Cerealist in 1910.
In the search for a hardy wheat that would mature faster, he made hundreds of crosses, proceeding to test the yields. Tests included one called "chewing", whereby Saunders identified strains with strong gluten by chewing a few sample kernels. "I made more wheat into gum than was made by all the boys in any dozen rural schools of a generation ago." (Pomeroy, Elsie M. William: Saunders and His Five Sons: The Story of the Marquis Wheat Family, p. 141)
Dr. Saunders completed his assessments by qualifying yield. Using a technique he devised himself, he ground his own flour and baked his own bread in small loaves to measure volume.
Working with Red Fife, which had been imported and developed by David Fife from Ontario, Dr. Saunders crossed it with Hard Red Calcutta. The new variety Markham showed great promise, but its offspring were not uniform. After many trials at the Agassiz experimental farm, a winner emerged - Marquis.
1906 Surplus Marquis seed was shipped to Indian Head, Saskatchewan, for additional testing.
1911 Marquis won the Canadian Pacific Railway Prize of $1,000.00 for the best bushel of hard spring wheat grown in North America. This was the first of many prizes.
Marquis' only drawback was its susceptibility to rust. Not until 1947 was a rust-resistant variety developed at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa. It was named "Saunders".
1920 90% of the wheat crop in western Canada was Marquis.
Dr. Saunders also applied his methods to barley, oats, peas, beans, and flax, introducing several new varieties of each.
He wrote extensively on the subject and many of his thoughts on cereals were presented to scientific conferences and societies and printed in scientific magazines.
1922 After suffering a physical breakdown, Dr. Saunders resigned his position. He moved to Paris with his wife.
1922-1925 At the Sorbonne, he studied French literature.
1925 He returned to Ottawa briefly, but in 1928 he moved to Toronto. Though retired, he continued to lecture on Marquis wheat and the French language.
1928 Essais et vers, a collection of Dr. Saunders' French essays and poems, was published by Louis Carrier and Cie, Les Editions du Mercure, in Montreal and New York. The work received critical acclaim in the French press, especially in Quebec.
1934 Dr. Saunders was knighted by King George V for his contribution to agriculture.
1937 Dr. Saunders died in Toronto. Tributes to him came from around the world. In The London Daily Express, his obituary read: "He added more wealth to his country than any other man. Marconi gave power. Saunders gave abundance. Great lives, these!"
Charles Edward Saunders was born in London, Ontario, on Feb. 2, 1867, son of William and Sarah Agnes Robinson Saunders. He received his early education in the elementary and collegiate system in London and his university education at the University of Toronto, Johns Hopkins University, and the Sorbonne. He married Mary Blackwell of Toronto in 1892.
Saunders began an academic career as professor of chemistry and geology at Central University, Ky., in 1893. Within 2 years, however, he turned to a musical career in Toronto, where, in addition to acting as an agent, he gave lessons in singing and flute playing and wrote as music critic in a newspaper. His musical career was not a financial success, however, and in 1903 he accepted appointment as Dominion cerealist at the Experimental Farm in Ottawa. The new work was not a break with family tradition, for Saunders's father had founded the system of experimental farms established in Canada, and his brother, Percy, had done considerable work in cross-breeding strains of wheat.
Saunders turned enthusiastically to his new tasks. Following up his brother's research, he developed Marquis wheat in 1904, a variety which showed marked superiority in milling quality for bread flour over other varieties popular in western Canada. Marquis had the advantage of maturing 10 days earlier than its competitors - a factor of great importance in the Canadian wheat belt. The Indian Head Experimental Farm in Saskatchewan raised Marquis wheat for seed, and by 1909 its use was widespread. By 1920 90 percent of the wheat grown in western Canada was Marquis. However, Marquis was not resistant to stem rust. In seeking newer and better varieties Saunders developed three other strains of wheat - Ruby, Garnet, and Reward - specifically adapted to prairie conditions. He was also responsible for improved varieties of oats and barley.
In 1922 Saunders retired and turned to the study of French, a subject which had always attracted him. He spent the years 1922-1925 at the Sorbonne, returning to Canada to write a book, Essais et vers, in 1928. In recognition of his work in the French language he was decorated by the French government and was presented with the Medaille de l'Académie française.
Saunders won honor in his own country also. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1921 and won the society's Flavelle Medal in 1925. He was knighted in 1933. He is a member of the Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame.[1] He died on July 25, 1937.

I also don't believe in segregating my laundry. I just throw the white things and colored things in one big washload and let the clothes sort it out for themselves.
Laundry cage fight!
I do separate lights from darks out of habit. I do wear white oxfords everyday for work, or a blouse of linen or cotton, always white (creature of habit, remember?) so I do like them to be crisp looking.

Pretty convincing Cardassian makeup. I do wish they had stuck with the alternate future commbadges they used in All Good Things, the Visitor and Endgame though.
Tuvok looks real unhappy. Years later and he's only a commander maybe?

Portmanteau Model Diagnostics and Tests for Nonlinearity: A Comparative Monte Carlo Study of Two Alternative Methods
This paper employs an extensive Monte Carlo study to test the size and power of the BDS and close return methods of testing for departures from independent and identical distribution. It is found that the finite sample properties of the BDS test are far superior and that the close return method cannot be recommended as a model diagnostic. Neither test can be reliably used for very small samples, while the close return test has low power even at large sample sizes. Citation Copyright 1999 by Kluwer Academic Publishers.
