Who are 'Whites?' The technical answer.
The term, "White," can a bit confusing in Canada. People unfamiliar with Statistics Canada and the census sometimes feel a jolt when they read the word, "White." For some people, including some Whites, the descriptor seems to have highly emotive connotations.
"Whites," however, is a technical ethnocultural term that statisticians and academics have used for decades in Canada and around the world to describe a distinct groups.
I employed the term in my Monday story on a new report for Immigration and Citizenship Canada. It ran on my blog under the headline: "Whites will decline to 2 of 5 Metro residents by 2013."
To make things clearer, I will provide the official definition, in Canada, of "White."
As veteran UBC ethnocultural geographer Daniel Hiebert and others use it, "White" people are "individuals of European descent."
Even more technically, a White person is one of the two basic kinds of individuals in Canada who are not defined as a "Visible Minority." (The other group that is not defined as a Visible Minority is Aboriginals.)
Indeed, sometimes Whites in Canada are described as "Non-visible Minorities," which, as Hiebert suggests, is a very "inelegant" phrase.
Here is the list of visible minorities, as defined by Statistics Canada:
{Readers will note the main ethnocultural groups not on this list are Whites and Aboriginals, who come under the category "Non-Visible Minorities."}

Waking up this morning in Novi Sad, we learned that my girlfriend's father's car was empty of gas. Someone had pried off the gas cap and siphoned the tank empty. His wasn't the only car hit last night—half the parking lot was filled with empty cars.
I've seen this before on previous trips. Last time, it was after we'd been out for the night and parked just outside the ring of a streetlamp's illumination. That time, the father had complained when we arrived home that we'd parked badly. He's generally fond of complaining, but by the morning, faced with a destroyed gas cap and air where petrol should've been, he was proved right. This time, however, he parked in a well-lit space, but it did no good.
We had an interesting talk around the kitchen table about this. The father isn't really angry about what happened (though he'll have to replace the broken cap), and is in fact a little pleased—there wasn't much gas in the tank, so in a way he thwarted the thieves.
What was strange for me was that he expressed no outrage. These thieves attack off and on every week or two, and they do it all over the city. But they've been doing it for a decade—so while it's annoying, it's just part of the landscape of life in Serbia, as are Kafkaesque visits to bureaucratic police stations. It's something you just accept. If you don't, you're likely to go mad.
My girlfriend then told me a story from around eight years ago. She and a friend's daughter were watching Lethal Weapon on TV, the sound up so that the apartment was filled with the noise of gunfire. Then the daughter said she thought she heard gunfire outside. My girlfriend told her it was just the TV. But it wasn't. Out on the main street there was a gangster car chase. The lead car had made a u-turn, and as it passed their building, the second car (in the opposite lane) opened up with machine-gun fire.

A FAMOUS victory for Sir Patrick Cormack, the South Staffordshire MP who refused to take attempts to de-select him lying down.
If any members of his constituency party thought Sir Patrick, 67, had no fight left in him, they were proved very wrong.
But what of Labour as it prepares for life after Tony Blair? If Gordon Brown does call a snap election once he becomes Prime Minister, is Labour prepared?
Um, not quite. So far it has managed to re-select four sitting MPs out of around 40 in the West Midlands. These things take time, apparently.

Red maple, Acer rubrum, is a magnificent native North American tree renowned for its dashing green summertime leaves and gorgeous autumn foliage. Last week, while gazing at the foliage of a red maple, I was surprised to see the maple leaves looking back at me. Unblinking vacuous eyespots ringed with orange and bright red stared from the top of a maple tree across the forest. What strange twist of vegetal trickery was this?
A closer inspection revealed the presence of a small sessile maggot hiding just beneath the surface of the leaf, dead center in the eyespot. The maggot was the larva of the ocellate gall midge, a small fly adapted to complete its life cycle by consuming tissue of the red maple. The story of the gall midge began several weeks ago, when these tiny mosquito-like flies emerged from pupal cases that survived the rigors of winter in the soil beneath the maple tree. These small midges are close kin to the boxwood leafminers we met on April 30, 2012 in the episode entitled "Twisting the day away." After escaping their terrestrial internment, males and females mate, and then females fly to the canopy of a maple tree, where they deposit eggs in the soft tissue on the underside of the young leaf. Upon hatching, each larva, a.k.a. maggot, attaches itself to the leaf with its mouthparts and secretes potent hormone-like chemicals that co-opt the normal development of the leaf.
As the larva grows, it induces the leaf to develop a slight swelling directly above its location. This abnormal growth is technically known as a gall. In addition to inducing a gall in which it feeds, the larva causes the leaf to develop striking concentric rings of yellow (carotenoids) and red (anthocyanins) pigments not usually seen until the glory days of autumn. After a few weeks of dining on nutritious tissues within the gall, the larva drops to the earth and forms a pupa in which it spends the remainder of summer, autumn, winter, and early spring, before completing its metamorphosis and emerging as a small fly next spring. So, as you wander the waysides keep an eye on the maples - they may just be looking back at you!
Bug of the Week thanks the eagle-eyed Dr. Shrewsbury for providing the inspiration for this episode. The delightful reference "INSECTS THAT FEED ON TREES AND SHRUBS" by Warren Johnson and Howard Lyon, and "ACERICECIS GAGNE, A NEW GENUS FOR CECIDOMYIA OCELLARIS OSTEN SACKEN (DIPTERA: CECIDOMYIIDAE), THE MAPLE LEAF OCELLATE GALL MAKER IN NORTH AMERICA" by Raymond J. Gagne were consulted in preparation for this article.

We have a simple batch script that resides in the Windows 2003 server D drive ( system drive and not shared ). The batch file SFTP few small text files to an Unix server. The batch file is scheduled using the Maestro and provided a non admin system account ( not domain account) to execute the batch file. Everything works pretty well when the user (cgsbatch) is logged into the server. The Maestro kicks off the batch file every 5 mins and the files are getting transferred. The Moment the user logs off from the server, the maestro kicks off the batch and it is failing with the reason Key exchange failed error. We have the public key and all file available for the user.
The script uses SFTPG3 -B <ftpascii(contains list="" of="" ftp="" cpmmands)="">
Can you please provide more insight on what needs to be done for this issue? Thanks
asked Jan 25 '12 at 19:06
Try adding the command ssh-broker-g3 before your SFTP command.
This will start the connection broker, that is normally already started when a user is logged in.
So like....

Greg Martin, Travis Reno show the way in Smoky Mountain features
Greg Martin, Travis Reno show the way in Smoky Mountain features
By admin | April 15, 2012
By Richard Allen
Greg Martin has established himself as one of the east Tennessee region's top Crate Late Model drivers and his performance on Saturday night at the Smoky Mountain Speedway in Maryville, Tennessee further established that.
Justin Summers set fast time in qualifying on the 4/10 mile track with a lap of 16.996 seconds in time trials. But much like he did two weeks ago at the 411 Motor Speedway in Seymour, Tennessee, Martin started from the outside of the front row and wasted no time in putting his Bloomquist Race Car out front. And once in the lead, the #24 was hardly threatened.
Summers settled into the 2nd spot and kept Martin in sight for most of the race but never mounted a serious challenge for the lead. However, the racing from 3rd on back through the field was much more intense.
Anthony White charged from his 5th starting spot to take 3rd almost immediately. David Crabtree, Corey Hedgecock, Mack McCarter and Ryan King all gave chase and exchanged positions in the process.
However, at lap 14 things took a dramatic turn when White found himself tangled up with the lapped car of Danny Yoder on the front stretch. As the two machines raced into turn one, Yoder spun nose first into the outside wall as White limped back to the pit area with what appeared to be a flat left front tire.
On that ensuing restart, Hedgecock's car appeared not to turn at all as he slammed the wall in turn one bringing out another caution. Although his car appeared to be heavily damaged, Hedgecock seemed unhurt in the accident.
After the final restart of the race, Martin again sailed away from the pack. Meanwhile, McCarter moved around Crabtree to claim the 3rd position.
At the finish, it was Martin winning over Summers, McCarter, Crabtree and Hunter Best.
Perhaps the race of the night came in the street stock class. Travis Reno got out the lead at the start but was shadowed all the way by Dale Watson and Bradley Lewelling. Those two drivers raced side by side for virtually the entire distance of the 15 lap feature event.
Reno laid claim to the victory with Watson edging Lewelling for 2nd while David Price came home 4th.
"I've had a lot of bad luck," an emotional Reno said in victory lane. "It's been a long time coming. This was for my dad."

Grand-prize winner: Donna Stucker Maggie Lewis nominated her mother, Donna Stucker, for the Makeover an Oldham Mom contest. Maggie wrote this about Donna in her nomination: "How many people can say that their mom gave them life twice? I know I can, the first time was on November 27, 1990 and the second time was on January 21, 1996. Technically my mom didn't give birth to me twice but she did give me something that is vital to everyone's life.
According to Louisville Metro Police, a vehicle traveling eastbound on River Road flipped several times about 10:30 a.m. Friday, ejecting both occupants – Caroline N. Minks, 18, of Crestwood, and an 18-year-old male.
Members of the Goshen City Commission voted Monday night to table a vote on an ordinance that would impose a $500 license fee on any person or business renting property in the city. A few Goshen residents attended Monday night's meeting, where the second reading and public hearing of the ordinance took place.
Members of the South Oldham Fire Department rescued a man pinned beneath a truck following a single-vehicle crash about 4:45 p.m. Tuesday on Ky. 1818 near Speer Lane.
UPDATE: Oldham County Police have identified the driver as 53-year-old Charles A. Hosler of Pewee Valley. Firefighters sliced the roof of the vehicle to reach Hosler, who was flown to University Hospital in Louisville. Oldham County EMS also worked at the scene.
People offering rental properties within the City of Goshen may soon have to pay an annual fee, as well as obtain a one-time license from the city before renting. The first reading of an ordinance that would impose an annual $500 fee for any person or business renting real property in the City of Goshen took place at the City of Goshen Commission's April meeting. According to the ordinance, any property owner who leases his or her property to someone else is deemed as engaged in the business of renting properties.
Members of Oldham County Fiscal Court recently made the following appointments and personnel recommendations: • Gregg Cobb, appointed to North Oldham Fire Department Board, three-year term; • Stephen Cummings, appointed to Storm Water Management Board, to fill the remainder of Dale Hettinger's term, three-year term; • Rev.
For the past few years, Industrial Disposal has overpaid Oldham County government, and while Oldham officials say they've notified ID of the extra money, the company just recently noticed.
Traffic on Houston Lane in Pewee Valley will soon flow one way from Mt. Mercy Drive to Ky. 146 – the question now is whether left turns will be permitted. City Engineer Mel Milburn and traffic engineer Diane Zimmerman presented a traffic study to the city council Monday night, recommending one-way traffic toward Ky.
Just in time for Mother's Day, the Norton Commons Farmers' Market celebrates its grand opening from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Do you have trouble getting around your home? Maybe you want a scooter to help when you go out to run errands. If you will be navigating narrow aisles or hallways, then your scooter needs to be able to turn and travel in small spaces. You will also need a scooter that's easy to control.
If you're looking for increased mobility both indoors and out, then a 3-wheel scooter may be the perfect solution. Three-wheel scooters are versatile, easily maneuverable, and lightweight. They're also easy to transport, making them an ideal solution for many people.
Scooters come in 3- and 4-wheel designs. Three-wheel scooters offer a number of advantages over four-wheel scooters. A 3-wheel scooter generally has a tighter turning radius and increased maneuverability over a 4-wheel scooter, making it ideal for use indoors. Three-wheel scooters also tend to weigh less than their four-wheel counterparts. Finally, three-wheel scooters can be easier to transport, because of their lighter weights and narrower front ends.
It's important to realize that three-wheel scooters tend to have a bit less stability than four-wheel scooters. This is simply due to the presence of three wheels instead of four. These scooters are still very safe. If you're worried about stability but prefer a three-wheel scooter, then look for one which offers larger wheels with generous tread for additional stability and traction.
Three-wheel scooters come in a variety of designs. You'll find everything from a very basic mobility scooter up to scooters that are essentially personal mobility vehicles. Three-wheel scooters offer different speeds, drive ranges, and accessories. Chances are you'll find a three-wheel scooter which is just perfect for you.
If you're not sure about which scooter is right for you, please give us a call – we would be happy to help you find the perfect scooter.
Consider Turning Radius
If you're buying a 3-wheel scooter for indoor use, then carefully consider its turning radius. The turning radius refers to the smallest amount of space that the scooter can turn within. The smaller the radius, the less amount of room you will need to turn the scooter.
Check Scooter's Width
You will want to make sure that your scooter can comfortably fit into your home. Measure the narrowest spaces that the scooter will have to travel, and then compare these measurements with the scooter's width to make sure that the scooter will fit.

"Jesus teach me what I need to know.
Guide and lead me where I need to go.
In everything thing I say and do,
teach me how to love like You."
These are the words the choir will sing in their October anthem. This piece is a favorite of many people in our congregation and it will continue the trend we began in September of singing favorite choral anthems from September through December. If you have a favorite anthem the choir has sung in the past, be sure to let the choral director know so she can work it into the musical line-up.
We were blessed in September with the song, "My Lord" sung by our Summer Singers on Grandparents Day and on Sept. 25th a solo by Rick Parkhurst. Rick is a new participant in our musical endeavors at First Baptist. What a blessing he already has been in our Sanctuary Choir. Welcome, Rick, into our family of church musicians who seek to bring spiritual blessings to our congregation through sacred music.
Are you ready to hear more Hand Bell music? Soon, the hand bell choirs will be re-organizing. If you want to be included, please let the music director, Betty Hanson, know of your interest.
"Shine Your heavenly light.
Touch me and open my eyes.
As I go through the day,
Lord, let me follow Your way."

Understanding models, benefits, and structure
"Collaboration can lead to physical, social, and economic wellbeing." - Jim Kelly
What are the greatest benefits to a cooperative business or organization?
A Cooperative is all about building relationships and a community for like-minded individuals. What's so great about community?
- Connecting with others - not working alone
- Having a source for feedback and critique on work
- Getting inspired and expanding your craft through community connections
If you build it will they come?
"Community and Energy to drive collaborations HAPPENED because we had the right space to work in." - Zach Luse
A cooperative is a business. You invest in something to share and collect partners to share in that resource with you. But that means you need partners or members for your cooperative model to work - by definition you can't do it alone! So, how do you engage your community?
- Offer opportunities and space for members and potential members to LEARN something together
- Offer opportunities and space for members and potential members to TEACH EACH OTHER something
- Convene people in a consistent space that has the resources they need to experiment and explore together
Getting Help
"Southwest Regional Planning Commission was interested ways to keep wealth local, and a coop can do that by giving shoppers access to local products. Income then gets recirculated locally, instead of going to makers or producers from outside the region." - Jen Risley
Who were the key partners that helped get you going?
There are MANY challenges to getting a cooperative off the ground. Our panelists identified some key partners that helped them get their organizations launched. If you're thinking about starting a cooperative, who in your community will be best situated to help get you started?
Our board of directors - Our board of directors has been passionately engaged from the beginning, and have been able to connect us with funding opportunities, the city, and new communities of members.
The City of Keene - The planning department helped us jump through the right hoops so we could get started. The City also gave us a small grant to fund a feasibility study to help us determine how big we should be thinking for our coop.
Southwest Regional Planning Commission - Our project was identified in the Southwest Regional Planning Commission's regional plan as something that was highly important to the local economy. They helped connect us to funding, data, and people that moved our project forward significantly.
Antioch New England - A graduate student at Antioch made part of our start-up phase her thesis project - she conducted our viability research. We later hired her as our first project manager.
MeetUp groups - These groups were where we started to connect with future members. We still work with them and now invite them to host their meetings in our space.
Arts Alive! - offers a basic business startup guide and fiscal sponsorship for organizations that are looking to become nonprofits. Monadnock International Film Festival, Monadnock Choral Alliance, MAxT, ConVal Visual and Performing Arts Center, ArtWalk, and Friends of Public Art have all been a part of the Fiscal Sponsorship program.

Our new Chair Sir Andrew Burns KCMG started on 1 January 2015.
His welcome message to the profession is below.
Message from our new Chair Sir Andrew Burns
It is a great privilege and honour to have been invited to
succeed Baroness Deech as Chair of the Bar Standards Board. Ruth
and I have worked closely together in the past and I know what a
challenge it will be to follow in the footsteps of such a humane,
experienced and distinguished public figure. Fortunately I inherit
an excellent team at the BSB which has gained greatly in maturity
and proficiency under Vanessa Davies' direction.
As you will be aware, I have been recruited precisely because I
have had no previous connection with the law. I come to this
position from a long career as a British diplomat working in India
and Hong Kong, in Canada and the United States, in Eastern Europe
and in the Middle East. In recent years I have chaired one of the
leading universities in the UK, Royal Holloway in the University of
London, and am a Governor of the Guildhall School of Music and
Drama. I have been a BBC Governor. And for the last five years I
have been engaged in representing British interests in tackling
post-Holocaust Issues, most notably as the current Chair of the
International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, which develops
intergovernmental cooperation on Holocaust education, remembrance
and research.
Needless to say such an international diplomatic career has
brought me into contact with many members of the British legal
profession at home and abroad. But my more recent responsibilities
have involved me in many different fields of regulation:
broadcasting, finance, charities and higher education.
For the moment I am very much in a meeting and listening phase
and want to get to know and talk to members of the Bar at all
levels around the country. As we begin our strategic planning for
2016-19, I am very much looking forward to leading the BSB through
the next phase of our journey to becoming a modern and efficient
regulator, protecting the public interest while retaining the trust
and confidence of the profession itself.
I attended my first Board meeting as Chair on 29 January. You
can read some of our post Board meeting announcements in this
update. I hope you will find our account of how we are expanding
opportunities at the Bar of particular interest.

Mata is a moshav (Jewish agricultural co-op) in central Israel. In 2006 it had a population of 554. The village was established in 1950 by immigrants from Yemen on land which had formerly belonged to the depopulated Palestinian Arab village of Allar. The founders were later joined by more immigrants from North Africa.
Kaye Susan Wilson, the survivor of the December 18th (Saturday) stabbing attack, was found wandering at dusk along the trail near Mata. The body of the 2nd hiker Kristine Luken,was found south of Mata, approximately 400 meters from the road between Mata and Beit Shemesh, police said. Her body was discovered around 6:30 a.m. on Sunday.
The area is described by Israeli police as being "close to the border with the West Bank and the Palestinian villages of Husan and Wadi Fukin." Exclusively Jewish settlements such as Tsur Hadasa are shown on the right side of the map. There are no Arab villages accessible by Mata's 375 road. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the 375 route has been restricted to use by Jewish settlers. Husan was closed off by the segregation wall circa 2004. Wadi Fukin, which sits between the green line (dashed line in above map) and the segregation wall, has no easy access to Mata. Wadi Fukin's residents are often under attack by Israeli settlers.
American Kristine Luken, (mistakenly named Christine Logan in some reports) was stabbed to death while hiking near Mata in Israel. Luken, a Christian, was an administrator with an evangelical ministry that promotes Christianity among Jews. The church name, CMJ, stands for "The Church's Ministry among Jewish people, a ministry that has been investing in the spiritual rebirth of the Jewish people since 1809", according to their UK website. Luken had worked for the ministry for one year having previously worked for the US Department of Education and had recently taken on responsibility for Shoresh Tours, a CMJ company that organizes tours to Israel.
Kaye Susan Wilson, a British born Jew who was with Luken at the time of the stabbing, is a naturalized citizen of Israel and the senior tour guide for Shoresh. Wilson came to Israel from Great Britain at age 16 with a very strong Zionistic identity, and is one of Shoresh's most popular tour guides. Wilson and Luken met in 2007 when both were participants on a study tour called "Walking with Jesus in His Jewish World," run by Shoresh and CMJ Israel.
This report from the LA Times:
Wilson, a tour guide and recent British immigrant living in Israel, told investigators she and a friend, Christine Logan, had been hiking around an archaeological site known as Hirbet Hanut. When they sat down to rest on a nearby hill, two men showed up, asking them if they had water. Wilson hastened to brush them off. They were Arabs, she said. The men soon left, but nagged by a feeling something was amiss, Wilson said she and her friend headed back to the marked path.
Stabilized but still in intensive care, Wilson spoke to the press from her hospital bed Sunday. Wilson told the media that after the men left, she got her small knife ready. A "woman's knife," she called it. But the men came back out of nowhere with a long knife and attacked them both. Noting a curious detail, Wilson told reporters her assailant had removed her Star of David chain "like a gentleman" before proceeding to stab her where it had hung.
Wilson played dead in the bushes, listening to her friend's breathing fading, as Wilson fought to remain conscious until she forced herself to move.
Hundreds of police, soldiers, emergency personnel and volunteers searched for Logan. The next morning, she was found dead. A gag order has been issued on all details from the crime scene where Logan was found Sunday morning.
According to the Jerusalem Post:
Her (Wilson's) stab wounds were superficial and she did not lose a lot of blood, according to a spokesman at Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem's Ein Kerem. She suffered moderate-to-light injuries, and was treated in the trauma unit.
The spokesman refused to give any more details, saying the case was in police hands, and declined to let doctors speak to the press.
Kay remained conscious on the way to the hospital, Magen David Adom paramedics said.
According to another report in the Jerusalem Post:
Wilson and Luken had been hiking in the woods when two Arab men asked Wilson for water in Hebrew, she said. After they disappeared from view, Wilson became uneasy about their intentions, and told Luken they should return to Mata.
(Wilson) was stabbed and seriously wounded and handcuffed, but managed to drag herself to the road. There she saw two families, who called the police. "There have been no claims [of responsibility] by [terrorist] organizations," (Police spokesman Mickey) Rosenfeld noted.
According to other reports, Wilson was described as having her hands "tied":
"Her hands were tied, she was stabbed in the upper part of her body, she claimed that two Arabs stabbed her," (police spokesman Mickey) Rosenfeld said. Wilson was evacuated in moderate to serious condition at Jerusalem's Hadassah hospital.
According to the Virtual Jerusalem site:
Logan and British immigrant Kaye Susan Wilson, a tour guide, hiked in a dry river bed near Beit Shemesh, west of Jerusalem, after Wilson had completed a tour with a group...Wilson rents a home at the religious-secular Givat Ze'ev community, located west of Jerusalem on Highway 443.
In a separate incident, police arrested an Arab who recently was freed from prison and tried to stab a woman near the entrance to Hadassah Mount Scopus hospital. Authorities said the man pulled out a knife and chased his intended victim, who ran towards security guards at the hospital entrance while police were alerted and arrived at the scene to arrest him. The terrorist said he was trying to erase suspicions raised by friends who suspected he cooperates with Israel to help fight terror.
From the Jerusalem Post:
The two went hiking on Saturday afternoon in the hills near Mata, midway between Tsur Hadassah and Beit Shemesh. The area includes part of the Israel National Trail and is a popular weekend destination for families. They brought Wilson's small brown dog Peanut, who often joins Wilson's tours and is very popular with clients. Peanut was found, unharmed, by rescue workers on Saturday night.
Jerusalem stabbing: Is history repeating itself or something more sinister?by Radell Smith - The Examiner
Jerusalem was the scene of a murder this past weekend--or at least the hills beyond the city were, according to Fox News. Two women--Kay Susan Wilson and Kristine Luken (formerly believed to be named Christine Logan) were allegedly stabbed during a hike outside the city by two Arab men.
Susan Wilson, one of the alleged victims, lived; Kristine Luken, the other woman, died from stab wounds.
Jerusalem stabbing victims: previously all male
Stabbings in and right outside of Jerusalem are not uncommon, per se, but they are few and far between. The circumstances and victims in this particular attack are, according to records analyzed from the Jerusalem Post by this profiler--unusual, to say the least.
Victims of stabbings in Jerusalem since 2006--and there aren't that many--have all been male. And one victim was actually an Arab male; whereas the recent stabbing attack alleged by Susan Wilson, the surviving woman in this "attack," was allegedly perpetrated by two Arab males.
Terrorists not stabbers typically, more into bombing
Terrorism has been named by Israeli police as a possible motive for this crime, but it isn't supported by any groups claim and the police are not ruling out criminal intent from another source.
Jerusalem is a hotbed for terrorist attention, but it is normally focused on Israeli soldiers and Israeli citizens who live and work in the West Bank, bordering Palestine. Neither female is alleged to have had any political affiliations that would have prompted a terroristic attack.
Personal more than terroristic?
The unusual circumstances--one woman buried beneath a bush, the other left out in the open (one murdered, the other left alive)--raise all kinds of speculation and conjecture that make it a crime more likely personal in nature rather than terroristic, where all victims are treated the same.
The stabbings in Jerusalem to date, which preceded this weekends alleged attack against the two women, include male teen victims and their male attackers (who had anti-semetic leanings); an off-duty male soldier at a nightclub, and a domestic dispute that escalated between two males.
No prior female stabbings
Female stabbings are a rarity and none have been reported in the Jerusalem Post at all in recent years except a 70-year-old woman's stabbing in her home, but she was the victim of theft.
In addition, the male stabbings that did get reported were all involving people from the region--not British or American citizens, lending no credible support that this alleged attack is motivated politically.
Kristine Luken is alleged to have been formerly of the state of Virginia in the U.S., according to WUSA Channel 9 News, and she is said to have been in the country on a mission endeavor with a group known as "The Church's Ministry among Jewish People (CMJ)."
Fox News reported that Susan Wilson had become a naturalized citizen in Israel, orginially hailing from Britian. She would, therefore, be familiar with news of stabbings in the area in previous years and worked as a part time tourist guide, inevitably very familiar with the danger zones of the city and any potential threat of danger.
Religion a factor?
Susan Wilson told the Israeli police that the alleged attackers turned her over to "gently" remove her Star of David necklace before stabbing her where it lay.
This is so out of character for anyone targeting her for religious or terroristic reasons it makes those considerations almost a moot point. Anyone who hated Star of David jewelry enough to stab the victim where the star had lain on their body would not have gently removed the necklace first. They would have desired to destroy it along with her.
Anyone with a high regard for a Star of David necklace enough to carefully remove it wouldn't then likely go on to stab the wearer of it. And terrorists who opposed the faith altogether wouldn't have bothered to take the necklace at all.
Missionary effort the reason for death?
Susan Wilson was familiar with the terrain as a tourist guide. She was cognizant of the prior--but rare--stabbings against men in the area, and the tensions between the Arabs and Jews, yet she felt safe enough to hike in the area. Wilson was a Jewish follower herself, or she appreciated their culture enough to wear a Star of David necklace.
Kristine Luken entered the country as a missionary in order to introduce Jewish people to the Christian faith. That can create hostilities. But those hostile to missionaries seek to harm more than one at a time, generally, and she was not with the missionary group on the day of her death.
Personal conflict between two women or two unkown Arab men assailants responsible?
Fox News reported that Israeli police had scoured the countryside almost immediately upon Susan Wilson's presence becoming known, but to no avail. Law enforcement checked out hospitals for any males treated for knife wounds, as Wilson claimed to have a small knife on her own person during the attack--and to have used it.
No Arab men were found at or near the scene; no Arab men with wounds were treated at any of the hospitals checked. No Arab terrorists have claimed credit for the attacks and no Arab men have been arrested or sought in connection with the crime as of Sunday evening.
Knife use
Stabbings in Jerusalem have, historically, been perpetrated by either male teens, bar brawling men or males living in close proximity of one another. Knives are not generally the bread, serrated types used in these altercations, with men favoring switchblades and pocket knives more as they are smaller and easier to conceal.
Another Jerusalem stabbing or something else?
Israeli police are likely to exhaust all possible connections to an Arab assault before seeking to reinterview the alleged victim Susan Wilson prior to her release from a Jerusalem hospital in the next few days.
If police find no evidence of any alleged assailants--or if they find Kristine Luken's blood on Wilson's personal knife, which she said she carried with her that day--and used on the assailants, then they will likely begin looking for a personal motive in the stabbing of the missionary this weekend and why Susan Wilson suffered light wounds (and was left out in the open, to escape), but Kristine Luken was stabbed deeper, confirmed dead, and buried beneath bushes.

Stabbed US Jerusalem tourist: Survivor guilty of political unrest, murder?
by Radell Smith - The Examine
Kristine Luken was the 40-year-old American tourist stabbed to death in Jerusalem this week. Her older friend, 46-year-old (Kay/Kaye) Susan Wilson, formerly of Britian--now a naturalized Israeli citizen--was able to allegedly escape her two male Arabic captors and find her way to safety and freedom, according to Fox News.
Two Arabic men approach
According to Susan Wilson, she and her younger friend (originally thought to be named Christine Logan) were in the hills on the outside of Jerusalem, resting. Two Arabic men approached and asked for water. The two women assisted and started to then walk away, Wilson said.
"It all happened so fast. They came and attacked us," Wilson said.
Fox News reported that the Israeli police indicated no signs of sexual assault or robbery had been evidenced, eliminating that Susan Wilson was attacked for the purpose of sexual deviance or financial gain. Her friend, Kristine Luken was not mentioned in this regard, leaving her death potentially due to one of these motivations, but there are others, as this story is rife with contradictions.
Jerusalem has had hiker stabbings in the past, so it is a possibility, but they were attacks against Israeli's and that was as long ago as the 1990s, according to Fox. No recent hiker attacks--and none involving foreigners have been reported since.
Polticially motivated?
Fox News reported that there were no Palestinian claims of militant attacks on any foreigners--as is commonly done--after the murder of Kristine Luken was made known and Susan Wilson was hospitalized.
Terrorism hinges on making terroristic acts known worldwide in the media. It is how they sow fear in the hearts of others and grow their groups recognition nationally. For a militant group not to claim an attack is counter productive, but that has not occurred to date for this murder.
One knife, Two stabbing men
According to Susan Wilson, one of the two men brandished a knife once the women had supplied water and sought to return to the hiking trail.
"Like a bread knife, with a serrated edge," Wilson said.
Wilson then said that Luken became hysterical upon seeing the knife, which prompted the men to start stabbing them.
"It was clear that they came to kill. Who carries around a knife like that?"
But two men intent on murder don't leave behind a living victim--whether they "play dead" or not, as Wilson claims to have done.
Terrorists don't use bread knives to do what Arabs normally do to people they want to use as their national terroristic messenger either; Arab terrorists sending a message typically behead their victims and they use a machete or a real knife--not a bread knife, to do it.
Killer steals Star of David necklace "gently"
Susan Wilson said that at one point one of her Arabic assailants stopped during the assault to "gently" take a Star of David necklace off of her and "then turned me around and stabbed in the place where the Star of David had been."
Wilson also said that she played dead (called "playing possum" in the South) for about two minutes after the men left, even though she could hear her friend dying. She then left the scene, going to a nearby parking lot for help.
Police position
Kristine Luken's body was found buried under some bushes on Sunday, after Susan Wilson found help and a large manhunt ensued for the two Arabic "killers." Israeli police have searched for the two males, even going as far as to contact hospitals to see if they sought treatment for potential cuts of their own, as it is a fact that many knife-using criminals cut themselves during the course of such a crime.
Jerusalem hospitals had no record of any such patient, according to Fox News. And law enforcement in the city have not ruled out criminal conduct even though they espouse it appears to be a politically motivated crime.
Kay Susan Wilson is older than the victim murdered, but she is the one who "escaped." Wilson is the naturalized Israeli citizen who would come under target more terroristically in Jerusalem by Palestinian militants than an American, but it was Luken who was murdered.
Stabbings with a bread knife are more common in domestic disputes between partners and friends than as a weapon chosen by terrorists who "came to kill," as Wilson alleges. Men who "come to kill" do so. Men who "come to kill" don't leave one body unburied and the other hidden under bushes either. They treat both the same.
Murderous men who are terrorists don't "gently" remove (or care for owning) a Star of David necklace, as they stab a person. They certainly don't interrupt a blood bath to remove a piece of jewelry and then begin again. And two men bring two knives--they don't share one.
Lastly, Susan Wilson's wounds were light--self inflicted wounds are light. Some stabbing death scenes in which an additional person was present but suffers only superficial or light wounds is due to the other person being the guilty party. Their wounds can be self-inflicted or they can be evidence that the victim was able to injure the perpetrator during the fight to some degree.
Dr. Yuval Weiss, Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital Director, told the Army Radio that Kaye Susan Wilson was likely to be released within a matter of days. Hopefully, Israeli Police will get to the bottom of the crime before then.

More oddities: Man claims two assailants in same area "with Arab accents" identified themselves as police, then proceeded to snatch his girl friend's handbag. Police ignored his complaint and did not follow up:
Man who was attacked where Luken's body found: Police ignored me
About a year ago Miki and his female companion were assaulted, robbed by 'two men with an Arab accent' in same mountainous region where tourist Kristine Luken was murdered. 'Police didn't even ask me to help draw composite sketch of assailants,' he claims
Miki, a central Israel resident who was assaulted and robbed about a year ago by two men in the mountainous region where Kristine Luken's body was found on Sunday, said police ignored his complaint.
Speaking to Ynet on Tuesday, Miki said "I told them (police) everything that happened, but they were reluctant to investigate."
About six months ago a female hiker was attacked in the same mountains outside Jerusalem, and a few months prior to that incident Miki and a female companion were assaulted there as well.
"We left the car behind and began walking down the trail. Suddenly, two men wearing hoodies walked toward us from a different trail. One of them yelled 'police,' but could tell by his accent that he was Arab. They lunged at us. One of them was holding a knife and beat me," Miki recalled.
The woman, whose handbag was snatched by the robbers, fled. "They stayed to continue beating me. They didn't use the knife. They hit me and kicked me in the face. They took whatever they wanted and left," Miki said.
His female companion hid in the bushes. "I looked for her and yelled out her name, but she came out of the bushes only after a few minutes," Miki said.
The two were driven by a nun to a nearby monastery, where they contacted police. They were later evacuated to a hospital by ambulance. "I was certain the police would do more to catch them. I gave them an exact description of the assailants, but they didn't take me too seriously. They didn't even ask me to help them draw a composite sketch of the assailants," Miki claimed.
"The three attacks are too similar. I expected the police to make the connection," he told Ynet.
Jerusalem District Police said it had launched an investigation into the attack on Miki and his friend. Senior police officials said the incidents are not necessarily related.

Senator Bob Menendez may have pulled strings for 3 girlfriends of his friend Salomon Melgen. And had a whole bunch of trips paid for by Salomon. There's also something about $750,000 in fund raising. Bob has allegedly been busy, and having vacations that I wish I could have.
But, all of this was probably known by everyone in Washington. And we may have never known about it, as least so publicly. But when he disagrees with the President on the Iran nuke deal, all hell breaks loose. Now he's facing jail.
Wow, it must be true what they say about Chicago politics.
Harry Reid Democratic leader lied about Mitt Romney not paying his taxes, one time saying that he didn't pay for ten years. The epitome of why we hate politicians. This freaking liar smirked as he said "Romney didn't win, did he?".
There is Protected speech on the senate floor, which gives him carte blanche to lie about an opponent.
Now the problem is that this can be shown on TV for all the voters to see. So now all the voters are really pissed at Romney and Harry (that piece of ….) knows how to use this to his parties advantage. This is truly one of those for blogging out loud)) moments, one of the reasons this website was created. He is the epitome of the sleazy politician.
Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, Clinton
Benghazi (4 people dead, still no answers) She was going to blow up in the Benghazi testimony. You can see her face strained, as if how dare they question her. And to save herself from blowing her cork, she released the steam like a boiling tea kettle to help her calm down and says "What difference, at this point does it make". How sensitive to the families.
Merck, Barr Laboratories, PAETEC, CGI, KeySpan (National Grid), Long Island Power Authority all contributed to the Clinton Foundation, look up Chinagate, Travelgate, Whitewater Scandal, Filegate, Cattle-Futures (turned $1000. into $100,000. in less than a year, maybe she should continue being a trader, she's so good at it), Lootergate, Ponzi Scheme. And people say she hasn't accomplished anything.
The latest, she decided what emails we will see by deleting all the ones she didn't thing were something we should see. Calling them Yoga classes, Her daughters wedding stuff, etc. But how do we know, she destroyed those records. Oh, and she said "her server will remain private" Is it appropriate to say she has balls.
The way out for these people and especially the Obama admin, delay this scandal, delay that scandal, delay as long as you can. So the average person gets so tired of hearing it that they don't care anymore. So when press secretary Josh Earnest was asked about Harry Reid lying he can push it away by saying "not for something that's 3 years old".
Oh, and in case you don't thing there are republicans doing stupid things. Remember Representative Aaron Schock from Illinois who decorated his office for $40k. dollars.
Politicians will do anything to stay in control, its not about what is good for the country. They don't care about how much they abuse their power, how much money they spend, because its not theirs. It's easy to spend others money. To these politicians this is their county and we live in it.
You know this post reminds me of one of my favorite movies.))
but I thought that, that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the string. Senator Corleone, Governor Corleone.

This week's Vincent Award goes to Wes Varda. After suffering a stroke 6 years ago and not being able to hold his head up he is embarking on a 100 mile running race this summer in Lake Tahoe.
Varda, still very weak and wearing a gait belt to keep him from falling, was walking the edge of the park with a friend. Varda says, "She was holding my gait belt, and I was walking very, very slowly. And I just turned to her and said, "I want to try to run again, I want to see what I can do." So I ran about ten feet, very slowly and very gingerly, but that is how it began."
Running 100 miles is a feat in and of itself. After recovering from a stroke, wow just wow! Good luck this summer Wes!

Book Review: Trapped Under the Sea by Neil Swidey
If you enjoy books based on true events like THE PERFECT STORM, you'll love TRAPPED UNDER THE SEA by Neil Swidey.
As the cover says, it's a story about "One engineering marvel, five men, and a disaster ten miles into the darkness." That darkness being the end of the Deer Island sewage treatment plant outflow tunnel, 420 feet below the bottom of Boston Harbor.
This book caught my attention immediately because it's a local story. I live in the Boston area. Strangely, I'd never heard about this accident, which happened back in 1999. In reading the book, it seems to have received some press, but it also happened shortly after JFK Jr.'s plane went down off Martha's Vineyard. The book mentions that the plane crash dominated the media at that time, so it's likely the tunnel accident didn't make it into the headlines as much and that's why I missed it.
In any event, this felt like a story about something taking place in my own backyard, so I had to read it. I was not disappointed.
TRAPPED UNDER THE SEA is extremely thorough in its coverage of the tunnel event. The theme throughout seems to be one of "ordinary heroes" and what can happen when the focus on the bottom line overshadows concern for human lives.
The author covers not only the tragedy itself, but all the little pieces that lead up to it. The missed opportunities to avoid it, the thought process behind the actions that ultimately caused it, and the people both inside and outside the tunnel that were affected by it.
As the author states in the Epilogue "Whenever a worker dies, there is a natural inclination to hunt for a huge, single failure that can be blamed. In reality, a worker's death is usually caused by a series of small, bad decisions made by many individuals, none of which, on its own, would have been enough to produce a fatality. Disaster only strikes when all the holes in the Swiss cheese line up." TRAPPED UNDER THE SEA details every single one of those holes and shows exactly how they lined up.
The early chapters focus on the men involved, from all sides: project managers, construction bigwigs, and the divers. It's a large cast, but you come to know each person in depth, their family life, their personalities, their hopes, their dreams. So much so that you become attached to them in a way. It causes you to be emotionally involved in the situation yourself and feel like you're there with them. Knowing it won't end well tugs at your heartstrings as the chapters progress. When the ending comes, it's heartbreaking. To see how one small decision anywhere in the chain of events could have changed everything makes what happened even more tragic.
The writing in this book is superb. I know nothing about underwater construction or the specialized diving required to do it, and I have no experience with commercial diving operations or how construction projects as large as the Deer Island sewage tunnel are run. Yet, I was able to follow everything happening in the book easily and without confusion. The author's style is engaging and informative. He explains things in an uncomplicated manner, educating you along the way and bringing you closer to the people involved in the story. They aren't just names on the page. They feel real. And because of that, you can't help but feel sympathy and outrage as you read how this horrible tragedy came to be.
In addition to clear descriptions for the uninitiated, the book also includes a couple diagrams that give you an idea of the scale of the project, as well as help you visualize exactly what these divers were up against.
The latter third of the book is about the aftermath of the event. The quest for justice is almost as harrowing as the tragedy itself. I truly appreciated the Epilogue and followup at the end that lets you know where everyone is today, because when you get to the last page, you're so affected by what happened, you want to know if they're okay.
An enthusiastic 5 stars all around for TRAPPED UNDER THE SEA. Highly recommended, even if you aren't from the Boston area.

text: Many people are concerned at our first conference about the possibility of domestic violence occurring if he or she files a dissolution of marriage action. Basically in Colorado if you have such concerns and if there has been a history of domestic violence you can go to the court at the outset of the dissolution of marriage action and ask for a temporary protection order. If the court feels that there is eminent danger then the court will enter a temporary protection order that orders your spouse or partner in civil union to leave the family home and allow the other party exclusive use of the home. The court will then set a hearing to take place within the next fourteen days to determine whether there is a need for a permanent protection order. At that time under most circumstances, there is an agreement that is entered into between the parties that allows the temporary protection order to be extended through the end of the dissolution of marriage process.

A Florida woman called 911 three times to report that a Fort Pierce McDonald's had run out of McNuggets. Investigators have now released the audio recordings of all three calls.
McDonald's 911 Call: No McNuggets!
The woman, a 27-year-old named Latreasa Goodman, told police the McDonald's didn't have any chicken nuggets and wouldn't give her her money back.
"The manager just took my money and won't give me my money back, trying to make me get something off the menu that I don't want," she said on the phone. ""I ordered chicken nuggets. They don't have chicken nuggets, and so I told her, 'Just give me my money back,' and she tells me I have to pick something else off the menu."
When police suggested to Goodman that her issue might not be an emergency, she responded:
"This is an emergency. If I would have known they didn't have McNuggets, I wouldn't have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don't want one. This is an emergency."
The McDonald's, by the way, issued an apology and said it would make sure Goodman got her money back. She may need it, too: Police arrested Goodman on charges of misusing of the 911 system — and odds are, that kind of criume results in a fine slightly higher than $1.99.

The benefits of DIY projects are clear:
1. They add personal a personal touch.
2. They are a labor of love.
3. They can save you money.
The question remains. . how can I make an inexpensive coasters when entertaining or to give as a thoughtful gift?
If you need a nice hostess gift, a little something extra, consider making these coasters that you can pair with a mug and a beverage as a gift. This could come in handy if you need an extra gift in a pinch.
Here's a tutorial for making DIY chalkboard coasters:
Wooden Plaques
Chalkboard Spray Paint
Permanent Marker
Felt or Cork
Purchase plaques from a local craft store. I bought these at Michael's Craft Store. Check your local craft store if Michael's isn't in your area.
They came in a pack marked "Bundle of Plaques".
They cost $4.99. There are 25 plaques in 5 different shapes.
This was my request at Thanksgiving.
Cut out felt or cork to put along the bottom. Use the coaster to trace the shape. Cut it out and then adhere underneath.
This will be my Christmas request. ; )
Use these year round and write whatever festive message fits the season.
I tried them out with my Tweet, Pray, Love mug while serving dessert and warm drinks. they were a hit at Thanksgiving. so I'm going to make more and give them with the mug and a refreshing beverage.

Bill to treat e-cigarettes like standard smokes moves forward
A committee in the Minnesota Senate has approved a bill that would forbid people from using e-cigarettes indoors and prohibit the sale of electronic delivery devices to people under the age of 18.
The Senate State and Local Government Committee approved the measure on an 8-5 vote. Supporters say they worry that the secondary health effects from vapor emitted from e-cigarettes could be harmful to others.
State Sen. Kathy Sheran, DFL-Manakto, said e-cigarettes should fall under the same rules as smoking cigarettes and other tobacco products.
"We do know that in this bill, we don't ask those who want to use this to give it up or not be able to purchase it if they're adults but to simply restict that use in the places where we restrict smoking," Sheran said.
Critics say there are no scientific studies that show the vapors are harmful and that the law would also be difficult to enforce.
"This is blind regulation. There is no scientific basis for this interaction and anybody who values sort of any basic common notion of freedom really should reject this bill," said state Sen. Brandon Petersen, R-Andover.
The bill will make several more committee stops before the full Senate votes on it.

As Jews, we say goodbye to 2014 with some nostalgia and a lot of good-riddance. Chaim Potok warned us. It's not a pretty world. It's true. We did not win any Nobel Prizes, a rarity, but if you're feeling sad about this, you can go to the Israeli city Rishon Letzion and visit Tayelet Hatnei Pras Nobel, a street honoring all past Jewish Nobel prize winners with a plaque to each. But nine new tiny Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered by a post-doctoral researcher at Hebrew University, Dr. Yonatan Adler in 2013 and in 2014 the news was made public. They are now being analyzed for the significance they may yield on Second Temple Judaism.
It's not a pretty world when three precious Israeli teenagers were kidnapped then murdered in those desperate months of May and June while we collectively held our breathes across the globe. It was the summer of Gaza tunnels, a closure of Ben Gurion airport, civilian casualties, the death of so many soldiers and a war no one seemed to win.
The tensions were not limited to Israel. On April 15th, a man with a history of anti-Semitic rhetoric shot a boy and his grandfather in a Jewish Community Center in Kansas City and then hit an elderly woman in an assisted living facility. Four people were killed in a Jewish museum in Brussels on May 29th. This was a year of escalated anti-Semitism around the world; from France to Crimea, Jews were victims once again of irrational hatred. This propelled an escalation in aliya this year. Over 5,000 Jews from the Ukraine made their permanent home in Israel in 2014. A full one percent of French Jews were expected to move to Israel in 2014. By August 31st, the number was 4,566. Fighting back, more than 400,000 young Jews from 66 countries have visited Israel on a Taglit Birthright trip as of the close of this year.
We all love the positive energy of start-up nation thinking so here are 3 Israeli inventions that are hitting the market just about now to make you qvell: ReWalk Robotics, an exoskeleton system that helps people who are paralyzed learn to walk again. Then there's the Opgal/Lumus night vision system, an app that mounts a low-cost night-vision camera on an Android phone for security purposes and Stratasys/Objet, a joint Israeli-US company that is one of the top producers of advanced 3D printing equipment that may change food production and has been used in medical advances. Israeli scientists have also developed an early MRI test for trauma from brain damage. Israelis now even have an app for dog-lovers called Dogiz, a social network for dog owners.
Notable deaths in 2014 include that of Robin Williams who called himself an "honorary Jew" and Ben Ammi Ben Israel, an American born religious leader of the African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem. Of course, the military leader and legendary political figure Ariel Sharon died on January 11, 2014 after having a stroke that incapacitated him in 2006. Founder of the Jewish Renewal movement, Rabbi Zalman Schachter Shalomi, fled the Nazis and became a Lubavitch Hasid and joined with Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach to do outreach to a generation of Jews, many more interested in weed than creed. He died on July 3, 2014 having been a spiritual force for a generation of American Jews. We lost another 3 rabbis in the Har Nof Massacre on November 17, including Rabbi Moshe Twersky of the Soloveitchik family. It's not a pretty world.
On a more positive note, that same family celebrated the receipt of the Israel Prize in the field of Jewish religious literature by scholar Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein on the occasion of Israel's 66thbirthday. No prize, however, can ever make up for the loss.
In September, with the onset of Rosh Hashana, Jews in Israel welcomed the seven year shmita or sabbatical cycle from the biblical chapter of Leviticus 25. This mandates that land lie fallow for an entire annual cycle and is said to increase abundance during the other years of the cycle.
Yossi Klein Halevi's book Like Dreamers won the Sophie Brody Medal in 2014. Matti Friedman won the Sammy Rohr Prize in Jewish Literature for The Aleppo Codex and Sarah Bunin Benor was runner-up for Becoming Frum. The year's end also saw the walk-outs of The New Republic's executive and literary editors Frank Foer and Leon Weiseltier over a disagreement about the magazine's direction. This year PJ Library gave out its 5 millionth book to a young Jewish reader.
Our year ended with the release of Alan Gross on December 17th in exchange for 3 Cuban prisoners serving in US jails. Communities worldwide protested his arrest and the five years he spent in a Cuban jail. Gross, now 65, joined his family as the best Hanuka present they could have asked for.
So here are three "Jewish" resolutions for 2015:
- Fight any and all anti-Semitism. It's back, it's ugly and it cannot be tolerated.
- So much good is coming out of Israel. Make 2015 the year to strengthen your relationship to Israel.
- Win a Nobel Prize. It makes our people happy.
God, please let 2015 be a prettier year for us all. We need it.
Shabbat Shalom

My newest story collection, Big Venerable, is set to hit the streets of the world in April! (April
"I love this book. The day-to-day reality of a burger joint is almost magical, while the future fantasy of a synthetic forest is so profoundly real we could hike there together tomorrow. Inside these wildly imaginative, near-cinematic stories, Rowan is asking big questions: What constitutes true change? And what part do we want to play in it? I'll go back to Big Venerable again and again. I can't get it out of my head." - Megan Stielstra, New York Times columnist and author of Once I Was Cool
"Neither fabulist not realist instead I would describe Rowan as a comic realist of the fake and a monologist of the strange." - Joseph G. Peterson, author of Twilight of the Idiots
"Big Venerable reads like a collection of modern fables, peppered with workplace anxiety, mutating families, absurd quests, and faulty sages delivering self-centered advice. A very funny book from a very funny man." - Halle Butler, author of Jillian

Cylindrical measure
A cylindrical measure in measure theory on topological vector spaces is a finitely-additive measure defined on the algebra of cylinder sets in a topological vector space , that is, sets of the form
where — the Borel -algebra of subsets of the space , ; are linear functionals on , and is the mapping
Here it is assumed that the restriction of to any -subalgebra of sets of the form (*) with a fixed collection of functionals is a -additive measure on (other names are pre-measure, quasi-measure).
In the theory of functions of several real variables a cylindrical measure is a special case of the Hausdorff measure, defined on the Borel -algebra of the space by means of the formula
where the lower bound is taken over all finite or countable coverings of a set by cylinders with spherical bases and axes parallel to the -st coordinate axis in ; here is the -dimensional volume of an axial section of the cylinder . When is the graph of a continuous function of variables defined in a domain :
then is the same as the so-called -dimensional variation of .
