Global uniqueness and money non-neutrality in a Walrasian dynamics without rational expectations
We define a non-tâtonnement dynamics in continuous-time for pure-exchange economies with outside and inside fiat money. Traders are myopic, face a cash-in-advance constraint and play dominant strategies in a short-run monetary strategic market game involving the limit-price mechanism. The profits of the Bank are redistributed to its private shareholders, but they can use them to pay their own debts only in the next period. Provided there is enough inside money, monetary trade curves converge towards Pareto optimal allocations; money has a positive value along each trade curve, except on the optimal rest-point where it becomes a veil while trades vanish. Moreover, generically, given initial conditions, there is a piecewise globally unique trade-and-price curve not only in real, but also in nominal variables. Finally, money is locally neutral in the short-run and non-neutral in the long-run.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a fault determining apparatus for a data transmission system in a cyclic operating system and, particularly, to a diagnostic apparatus having an operation tracing memory.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In a conventional apparatus, some control parameters useful for diagnostic activity are registered in advance as trace information and this trace information along with detected faults for the latest few operating cycles is stored in a tracing memory so that it can be used for analyzing the faults. In such a conventional system, a parity error signal representing a faulty result of parity check is not included in the record of the tracing memory.
One major purpose of a parity check is to detect erroneous data occurring in the transmission system. However, in the absence of any parity error signal being stored in the tracing memory, no record of a fault in the data transmission system is obtained, and it is not known whether or not the data being traced is transmitted correctly. Therefore, the reliability of the traced data is unknown.
The present invention is summarized in a fault determining apparatus for a computerized operating system with a trace memory recording selected transmission and fault status wherein there is included parity checking of transmitted data from a main storage or from an input/output unit to a CPU, and the parity error status is also recording in the trace memory.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a fault determining apparatus for a data transmission system capable of overcoming the foregoing prior art deficiency.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a diagnostic apparatus capable of enhancing the reliability of diagnostic functions through the inclusion of the parity error signal in information being traced.
These and other objects and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the diagnostic apparatus embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing in more detail the arrangement shown in FIG. 1; and
FIGS. 3 and 4 are charts showing examples of record logged by the instrumentation unit shown in FIG. 1.
The invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 1, showing in block form one embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus includes a central processing unit (CPU) 1, a main storage 2, an input/output (I/O) unit 3, a tracing memory 4, a tracing memory retrieval unit 5, an instrumentation unit 6, an address command bus 7, and a data bus 8. The CPU 1 makes access to the main storage 2 and I/O unit 3 selectively through the address command bus 7, so that data is transferred among the CPU 1, main storage 2 and I/O unit 3 through the data bus 8. Parity information is appended to data which is transferred through the data bus 8 so that any bit error which occurs during the transfer can be detected. Information being traced is stored along with associated parity information and fault information in the tracing memory 4. The memorized information is retrieved by the tracing memory retrieval unit 5 and recorded by the instrumentation unit 6.
FIG. 2 shows in more detail the arrangement of FIG. 1, and common reference numbers are used for counterparts of both figures. In FIG. 2, parity check circuit 10 receives data on the data bus 8 and a parity bit provided by either parity generator 23 or 30 and performs a parity check on the data transferred on bus 8. The output of the parity check circuit 10 is connected to the CPU 1 by an interrupt controller 12 which issues an interrupt request to the CPU 1 upon the occurrence of a parity error.
The above-mentioned main storage 2 is made up of ROM 21, RAM 22 and parity generator 23. The above-mentioned I/O unit 3 is made up of photocouplers 31a and 31b for providing electrical isolation to the respective input and output signals, a buffer input register 32, input and output latches 33a and 33b for holding data in accordance with signals on the address command bus 7, and the parity generator 30. The I/O unit 3 operates to send out information through the output latch 33b and photocoupler 31b receive information through the input photocoupler 31a and latch 33b.
The tracing memory 4 is made up of a memory 41 for storing tracing data, a binary counter 42 for generating part by of the address input, such as the more significant bits, for the memory 41 and an address converter 43 which receives signals on the address command bus 7 to generate the remaining part Bx of the address input, such as the lesser significant bits for the tracing memory 41 in correspondence with the successive detection of predetermined address signals on bus 7, and also to generate a pulse for advancing the count of the counter 42 upon the completion of a cycle.
The tracing memory retrieval unit 5 includes a switch 51 used to set an address corresponding to one of the predetermined source addresses of data recorded in the tracing memory, an address comparator 52 which detects the coincidence of the address signal on the address command bus 7 with the setup of the address setting switch 51, a latch 53 which holds data on the data bus 8 in response to the address coincidence signal provided by the address comparator 52, and a D/A converter 54 which converts data held in the latch 53 into an analog signal. The latch 53 also outputs its contents in multi-bit form as shown by 55. The instrumentation unit 6 operates to record the analog signal provided by the D/A converter 54 or the digital signal provided by the latch 53 directly from the tracing memory retrieval unit 5 over data bus 8.
The operation of the embodiment will be described in detail. When the CPU 1 makes access to the main storage 2 for reading data, the parity generator 23 within the main storage 2 fetches data on the data bus 8, generates a parity bit of the even or odd parity mode, and appends the parity signal to a parity bit line 14 of the data bus 8, and then the stored data with a parity signal appended thereto is transferred to the CPU 1 and parity check circuit 10. When the CPU 1 makes access to the I/O unit 3 for reading incoming data, the incoming signal 34 is read in through the photocoupler 31a and buffer 32, and it is held in the latch 33a in accordance with the signal on the address command bus 7. The parity generator 30 receives data from the latch 33a on the data bus 8, generates a parity bit of even or odd parity mode, and appends the parity signal 14 to the data. Then the incoming data with the parity signal appended thereto is transferred to the CPU 1 and parity check circuit 10.
Accordingly, when the CPU 1 reads data from the main storage 2 or I/O unit 3, the parity signal 14 is transferred along with data to the parity check circuit 10 which performs a parity check of the data bits read out from the main storage or I/O unit with the parity signal 14. If a parity error is detected as a result of the parity check, a parity error signal 11 is delivered as an interrupt request signal to the interrupt controller 12, which in turn issues an interrupt request to the CPU 1. The CPU 1 causes the program to branch to a preprogrammed interrupt routine, which sets the data being stored in the tracing memory memory for indicating a parity error along with the predetermined conventional trace information including the data bits on bus 8 and the logical state of a fault detection signal.
The trace function is designed to store tracing data in predetermined addresses in the tracing memory 41 without affecting the operation of the control system when the CPU 1 makes access to the main storage and I/O unit for the control operation. By means of the parity check circuit and the interrupt procedure, the parity error signal is also stored in the tracing memory.
The following describes the retrieval of tracing data stored in the tracing memory 41. The CPU 1 executes a preprogrammed trace retrieval program to retrieve data in the tracing memory 41 corresponding to data from a predetermined address. The source address of data associated with a fault detected by conventional means is set in advance on the address setting switch 51 in the tracing memory retrieval unit 5. The address comparator 52 operates to detect the coincidence of the address on the address bus 7 for the trace data provided by the CPU 1 with the address set on the address setting switch 51, and data on the data bus 8 is latched when the coincidence is detected. The latched data is transferred as multi-bit signals 55 or converted into an analog signal by the D/A converter 54 and transferred to the instrumentation unit 6, which then records the tracing data.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show data charts recorded by the instrumentation unit 6. Each chart includes the record of a signal under trace S10, a fault detection signal S11 and a parity error signal S12. In the case of FIG. 3, the parity error is detected after the fault has been detected, while in the case of FIG. 4, the fault is detected after the parity error has been detected.
Namely, in the case of FIG. 3, it can be said that the fault detection signal itself has not been detected erroneously and the traced signal itself is reliable. Whereas, in the case of FIG. 4, it can be considered that the fault detection signal has been detected erroneously and the traced signal at the time of parity error detection could differ from the actual signal.
These diagnoses, which have not been possible in the conventional fault tracing system, are made possible by the foregoing embodiment through the provision for storing the parity error signal in the tracing memory 4. Accordingly, the present invention can effectively enhance the reliability of fault analysis through the inclusion of the parity error signal in signals under trace.

Most campus accounts and services—such as meal plans and door access—will work on your new card within a few hours. Student i-cards linked to PNC Bank accounts will be relinked overnight. You can also relink your new card yourself using PNC's Online Banking or at a nearby branch and use it in about 10 minutes.
Reporting a lost or stolen card
Report a missing card right away! And if your i-card was linked to your PNC Bank account, unlink it too.
When you report a loss or theft, your card is deactivated forever so that no one can misuse it. This helps protect you and the campus community. Unlinking your missing card helps protect your bank account.
To report a lost or stolen card, phone a campus ID Center. After hours, contact campus Police.

What can you say about a car that has no doors, at 188mpg makes the Toyota Prius look like a gas guzzler and will sell for around €11,000 ($15,000).? This could be the 21st Century VW Beetle. It manages the gas mileage mainly due to its light weight 450 kg (990 lbs). Having no doors, the front passengers get in through the hood and rear passengers through the trunk. That will get the neighbors attention even if its other design elements don't. The car will be entered in the Automotive X-Prize for the first commercially viable car to get over 100mpg.

Ag chief knows future water issues will be market-driven
January 24, 2013
The head of Nevada's Department of Agriculture said Wednesday water issues will be market-driven, the Silver State is agribusiness-friendly and a food revolution is under way.
Jim Barbee, the department's director since mid-2011, spoke briefly and fielded questions at a Northern Nevada Development Authority breakfast in Carson City.
He followed his boss, Gov. Brian Sandoval, to the podium after Sandoval said agriculture is going to be an economic development driver in Nevada.
"There's a food revolution afoot," said Barbee, noting part of that is because people seek healthier food in their diets. He said it is time to revitalize state agriculture.
Fielding questions, Barbee indicated this water-challenged state must use it well, for example with better production techniques.
Of the overall issue, he added, "The market's going to drive that."
Barbee characterized Nevada as a good state for agriculture and related business from both a tax and regulatory perspective.
"It is a priority and has been a priority the last two years, and will continue to be a priority," he said.
He also called the breakfast gathering, the 2013 agriculture report officially received Wednesday by the governor, and the chances it points to in economic development "so significant for the industry."

Amazing Victorian in Jeffersonville with original features such as the etched glass on the front door, high ceilings, built-ins, door transoms, fine woodwork, hardwood floors, plaster walls and a claw foot tub. A laundry room and 1/2 bath have been added off the kitchen. The full walk-up attic was recently spray foam insulated providing many possibilities for this space.
The 28' x 18' barn is a great bonus as the second floor has been totally insulated and turned into a heated studio space with electric baseboard heat and the main level of the barn has a small woodstove. A covered patio area off the back of the barn has also been recently added. The property is entirely fenced in to provide privacy and lots of deer-free gardening space. A walking bridge at the end of Mill Street provides easy access if you want to walk to downtown Jeffersonville.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
The Keurig Green Mountain (nee, Roasters) + fanfare has died down, last week's annual meeting is past, and the next quarterly report is two months away. As a result, traders and other short-termers have moved on, letting the stock price drift down. Such cool-off periods can be beneficial, both for providing a good buying opportunity and for establishing a foundation for the next growth leg up. That looks to be the case for GMCR, meaning now is a good time to buy or double up.
Personal disclosure: Purchased GMCR on day of announcement (2/6), and doubled up on day of name change (3/10)
The fundamental picture
Importantly, we are in a "normal" bull market, so we cannot expect growth stocks like GMCR to come cheap. The stock currently sells at 26x forward (estimated) earnings, while Soda Stream sells at 19x and Coca-Cola and are each at 17x. Do not view that 26x as expensive. Rather, consider it a confirmation of a good growth outlook.
Regarding dividends, GMCR has a 1% yield, compared to SODA's 0%, KO's 3.2% and PEP's 2.8%. Green Mountain is wise to have some payment because, in today's market, many investors and funds screen out non-dividend payers. But, on the flip side, if a company is truly growing, it likely has additional, high-profit opportunities. Therefore, we should welcome the reinvestment in the growth business rather than wish for more dividend payout. (Based on forward earnings, the proportion of earnings being paid out as dividends for GMCR is 25%, compared to SODA's 0%, KO's 54%, and PEP's 46%.)
So, how about that Coke deal? Since the cold drink machine won't be marketed until Green Mountain's next fiscal year (10/1/2014 through 9/30/2015), isn't it likely that the stock will continue to meander? Not necessarily, because Green Mountain remains a growing company in the hot beverage area. Moreover, it continues to pursue new growth partners and new products. Fundamental improvements can push the stock up, particularly as the clock ticks down and the excitement rebuilds for the cold beverage launch. A confirmation of Green Mountain's expanded growth prospects is their just announced new name, highlighting their strong brand, Keurig, and removing the past, narrower focus of "Coffee Roasters."
Two good ways to view Green Mountain's growth characteristics are (1) to view the New Logo/Innovation presentation at the company's new website, and (2) to view and hear management's annual meeting presentation.
The technical picture
Here is the view of GMCR's recent drift back to its post-Coke announcement low. It is now in a commonly desirable pullback area – just the place to buy or double up.
Importantly, GMCR stands out as a top performer. In this bull market, this position is desirable, neither a sign of an overbought fad nor a comparison to support buying a "cheap," underperforming, faux-growth stock.
The bottom line
The fundamentals are in place for excellent, extended growth at Keurig Green Mountain. As is often the case with a growth company, analysts cannot provide fulsome forecasts that capture the effect of products that have yet to be released. So, if things work out as planned, the company will likely produce positive sales and earnings "surprises" in the future that will, in turn, push up analysts' growth forecasts.
With these potential prospects, a forward P/E of 26 (i.e., an earnings yield of 4%), is attractive, as is the current 15%-20% pullback from GMCR's recent high of ~$125.

Under the microscope: 'Everlasting' nail varnish From £50
In theory: As "everlasting" as nail varnish gets, Nails Inc's "3 Week Manicure" (available nationwide; for stores visit www.nailsinc.com) promises chip-free polish for, er, three weeks. Coloured gel – available in six of its bestselling shades – is applied to the nail, then set under a UV lamp to create the chip-resistant colour. The organic gel simultaneously protects nails for optimum growth.
In practice: After 45 minutes, my primer, base coat, two layers of colour and top coat are dry as a bone. Choose your shade carefully as you'll be stuck with it for a while. Dr F opted for St James – a classic London-bus red that goes with everything. An extra £15 gets you a glass of fizz at the Harvey Nichols branch, but as you sit amid crowds of shoppers, save your pennies and find a nice quiet bar to flaunt your nails in later.
Observations: Twenty-one days later and not a chip in sight. The main problem is that Dr F's nails have grown so much that there's a noticeable gap between colour and cuticle, making it look a bit like she might, heaven forbid, be wearing fake nails. After the three-week, mark the gel begins to lift ever so slightly at the edges, but it's not immediately noticeable.
Analysis: You can't fault this on performance; the real question is whether it's worth the expense. Coming in at a little under the price of three normal manicures (which one hopes would last a week), it is pretty good value and a great time-saver. However, what you don't find out until the day is that you'll need to have this soaked off at a Nails Inc salon for about £25 – a little sneaky.
Prescription: If you're off on holiday, this is a great idea. Likewise, busy bees with no time for multiple appointments will be more than willing to shell out.
Further experiments: For an extra £25, Nails Inc offers a three-week pedicure that should last even longer than the manicure – unless you do a lot of housework with your feet (£75 with manicure, normally £50). To ensure the skin on your hands looks as good as your nails, invest in Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve (£17, www.kiehls.com).

Strategy and analytics go hand-in-hand. Throughout my agency life over the past 10+ years, I have been very fortunate to have worked with many great strategists. It was a valuable experience to work with people from different backgrounds. The collaboration was amazing.
However, sometimes I feel a bit puzzled when people tell me they are developing a strategy. I have seen many great presentations about 'strategy' filled with fancy diagrams and big words. Everyone was excited about the presentation, but not much happened afterwards.
'Strategy' seems like a good word to use to make people think that what you are proposing is very intelligent. However, this word is often misused by people who are not clear on what it means.
For instance, one time we were pitching a project to a big client. Our regional strategy person provided a few slides explaining 'what we want people to talk about' and he closed with a big tagline that said something like "Get ready for a great performance." The tagline sounded great, but a tagline is a creative idea, not a strategy. The real question is this: How can you translate the tagline into an action plan that gets people talking about it?
Another time, I was at a pitch for a multinational B2B chemical company with another creative agency. Its social media strategy in China is creating fan pages on RenRen. That might be an effective B2C strategy. And there may be some cases where it will work as a B2C strategy. But will the target audience, such as purchasing managers, go to RenRen and become a fan of a well-known chemical supplier? And even if they do, what impact, if any, will such a strategy have on the company?
Sometimes, when I see such ideas pitched as strategies, I confess I have to chuckle.
What are the differences between a great strategist and a great speaker? How can you tell if a proposed strategy is effective or not?
I always set some important definitions first:
- Objective – WHAT you want to accomplish
- Strategy – HOW you intend to achieve the objective
- Tactic – WHAT actions, tools, and techniques you will use
Developing a strategy is like building a road. The destination is what you want to accomplish. Strategy is your direction or how you are going to get from your starting point to your destination. Tactic is your vehicle or, in this case, what activities will take you there. Although it sounds very straightforward, many people often confuse tactic with strategy.
In addition to properly developing a strategy, the strategy itself should come together with customer insights, actions, and business impact.
The following are three basic questions I always ask when discussing strategy:
- What is your strategy based on? What data, information, or customer insights are you using to develop your strategy?
- Can you translate your strategy into a tactical plan?
- What will the business impact of your strategy be?
Although it is not necessary to have the perfect answer to these questions at the beginning, the questions should be asked and, ideally, answers should be formulated to ensure the strategy is delivering value for the business.
Ultimately, the key difference between an effective strategy and an ineffective strategy is the ROI impact, not the PowerPoint presentation. Effective strategies should include accountability. In addition, they have to be measurable. Identifying the key metrics and setting up the right key performance indicators (KPI) to measure the ROI and business goals is the key to developing an effective strategy. Conversely, the biggest mistake I have seen when it comes to developing strategies is setting the wrong KPIs. Setting the wrong KPIs will lead to the development of an ineffective strategy.
There is still more one needs to do to further optimise the strategy and sharpen your performance in today's agile business world. However, we should always focus on the basics first.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I borrowed a diagram from Jim Speelmon, one of the greatest strategists I have worked with. (He and I conducted a digital workshop together last month.)
The diagram summarises the important points that I have mentioned. It shows you that, when you are developing a strategy, you must begin with your target audience and business objectives first. Then you develop your strategy to give your target audience the reasons why they should buy into what you are selling and plan their activities accordingly. It is important to keep key metrics and goals or objectives in mind, so that the KPIs and key metrics will be set accordingly.
This diagram is a useful reality check tool to ensures the strategy development is heading in the right direction – taking your business down the road you want to travel so you can reach your destination.

Posted on 12/20/2010 11:01:28 AM PST by American Dream 246
(CathNews) Santa will not be visiting students in St. Peter, Minnesota this year. Muslim immigrants got him cancelled. The MinnPost reported, via Pat Dollard:
Santa Claus, as portrayed by Dennis Jackson, wont be visiting students at the Head Start classes in St. Peter this year.
Jackson has made appearances the past four years at the classes for students who need help preparing for school, but this year officials said, No, no, no.
The reason: The classes have many immigrant children who dont celebrate Christmas, says the Mankato Free Press.
Santas a little frosted, the paper says.
It kind of burnt me up, he said.
The official explanation from Chris Marben, who coordinates regional Head Start programs through Mankato-based Minnesota Valley Action Council: We have Somali families in the program. Were respecting the wishes of families in the program.
She didnt say how many objections were made, but said more than one would be enough to cancel Santa
Jackson said hes played Santa with children from other cultures before and they were fully comfortable with him. He said its their parents who are being unreasonable.
Theyre not respecting the majority, he said. My feeling is (objecting parents) can take their kids out of class for half an hour and let the other kids enjoy it. They should sacrifice, not rule.
You are 90% correct, and I agree. It's the "must" though, ("Must eat Bacon day."). Government cannot and must not compell individuals, to suspend their personal liberties, at the expense of someone elses personal feelings. Which is Ironic, given that is exactly what they practice. We are a Christian nation. Yet Christians are the only ones required to suspend their personal liberties and freedoms. Fostered by the very Government that is charged with protecting those liberties, for all. Non-Christians that have imigrated here, if offended by our Christian culture, need to re-think their choice to do so. I don't imigrate to their nations for a reason.
Dam strait! Invite em out to hunt pheasant, and have em do some bird-doggin! Then pull a Cheney!
I wonder if they would have cancelled Santa's visit if fundamentalist Baptists had complained?
The answer would be that Santa is a secular character and not related to the religious holiday at all and that the "fundies" should just take their kids out of school that day if they are too "closed-minded" to handle it.
I'm so sick of taking Islam's crap! If they don't like our holidays the way we celebrate them, they can kiss my butt!
Good point! And at this rate, how much longer do you think that city name ... and St. Paul, too, for that matter ... will remain?!
>>So you cant celebrate Christmas in a town named for one of Christs disciples?
I can see a time coming where that changes too.
I am with you and do not believe that the government schools should COMPELL the students to any of these such actions, but that is already what is going on with regards to global warming, homosexuality, abortion...
Parental rights mean nothing. Students are outright told "your parents don't know everything and were born in an age of bigotry".
The State indoctrinating the students to disregard and disrespect the teachings of the parent.
They shouldn't be questioned at all. Their opinion does not matter.
I would bet you're correct, because I know some Somalis, and they wouldn't be so forward as to object. I'm sure somebody "helped" make these complaints on their behalf.
Do they NOT understand the word "assimilation"?
Do they celebrate the moslem holidays in this school?
Didn't some people in the City of Angels get upset about a cross that was visible from public property?
This is really outrageous. But it's becoming more common every day, worldwide: tender Muslim sensibilities get offended by the majority culture around them, they howl, and the majority changes.
Last month, a science teacher in Spain was teaching an elementary school class about climate and he explained that the nearby mountain region had cool, dry air, which was why it was ideal for curing ham (Spanish jamon serrano, which is like prosciutto or US country ham). Spain in general and that region in particular are famous for their hams.
Believe it or not, the parents of a Muslim "immigrant" child (probably Moroccan) filed a complaint with the school about the fact that the teacher had mentioned ham in the classroom. He was actually served with a citation by the police and has to appear in court.
Shameful and depressing. Ham, a controversy, in Spain. Oye Vey.
Sharia Rising.
Never mind the facts, it's the feelings that matter.
I don't think anybody is going to try to say that was Los Angeles establishment of religion - or that because of that tiny detail in the "official" symbol - that Christianity is the preferred religion of Angelinos.
It was there for HISTORIC reasons! The city was started as a Catholic mission IIRC.
Enough already
Amen!!! That is why I attend school board meetings now. I never used too. Never to late I guess. More Conservative parents need to show up. Not showing up is what got us to this point. Voice your opinion. Show up armed with facts, and don't back down.
However, if Muslims wanted to bring in a similar Muslim figure or celebrate some Muslim holiday it would be welcomed as diversity and foisted down the throats of Christian children. If these Somalis want to live in a perfect Islamic state, I'm sure there would be no shortage of donations for one way plane tickets back to Somalia.
This is how it all starts ..lil by lil they will start taking away our traditions..and they get away with it..
Send these bastards back to their mud huts, poverty, starvation and extremists war lords.
So these are Somalis. How many species of cockroaches are there?
Everytime I see that guy's face or one like it I think its time for another crusade.
'The State indoctrinating the students to disregard and disrespect the teachings of the parent'
The Nazi's did the same thing, look what that got'em
Where's "Bad Santa" when you need him.
Have similar issues, lol/. When I told the kids that when I 'get to 'that point'; they can put me on an 'ice float'; they only asked; 'how will we know?'.
minn. is going islamization.... next it will be ethnic cleansing
or cut/paste:
They should have tried that Sharia thing there instead of Oklahoma. They might have won.
It is indeed hard to imagine that ham could be controversial in Spain (which, despite everything, actually has one of the lowest percentages of Muslim immigrants in Europe).
What's even worse, of course, is that the left-wing Spanish government is always on the side of the Muslims.
It matters if the powers that be make the claim that they can't acknowledge Christmas cause the Muslims are offended.
The ones agitating for the muzzling of religious expression in the public square are the same ones demanding crowning of the gay agenda.
I don't doubt that some objected to Santa Claus specifically but that is not a valid reason to stop having him visit the children. Any parent is free to tell their child "We don't believe in Santa Claus, that is a man in costume pretending to be Santa. Don't tell the other children cause it would spoil their fun." I mean Head Start must have had a JW or Jewish child attend at some point.
Head Start should grow a set and say "We know seeing Santa makes the children very happy." If you don't want your child to see him then you need to make other arrangements for her on the day Santa will be here." I guess they could set up a Santa Free Zone but even that to me is too much of a concession.
Look what's happening in Minnesota.
When I first saw the title, I thought it was St. Paul because of the nearby congressman.
Santa is secular. He didn't die for anyone's sins.
During Cinco De Mayo festivities up in the White House, Bush told us, "Islam is a religion of peace."
Well that's it! Santa is the last straw! I'm no longer going to celebrate Rama-Dama-Ding-Dong next time it comes around.
If it was up to me, I'd send the mooselimbs all back to their countries of origin and if any American converts, they will be sent to the mooselimb country of their choice. I'm sick and tired of this.
I agree with you, but if I lived in or near St. Peter, MN, I'd be going to a costume place, and buying a Santa costume, and I'd be out front of that school when students arrive and when school lets out. I'd be walking up and down in front of the school with a very loud "Ho, ho, ho!"
And if I could find a big black man to go with me, I'd put the money out for TWO costumes.
Less! At least rats dispose of garbage.
"Santa Clause has NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING to do with actual Christianity."
oh reallly ....
Santa Claus is Christian and ... American(!) update on Saint Nicholas ...
Santa Claus is more real than you may realize:
They prefer to cut off the feet and leave a person for dead.
Morons! Minnesota is going crazy in places. I have friends there, but don't know how they stomach the things that happen there.
That's funny - that was my first thought too - how ironic....
Iron Range PO'd ping!
Secular? Of course not!
Actually Santa is really Saint Nicholas of Myra. As real and as holy as anyone can get. Nicholas is one of the holiest of saints in the Eastern Orthodox Christian faith.
We love him!

This rhizome got dropped under the trees when I was doing some replanting
and giving some rhizomes away. Turns out it is ARIZONA REDHEAD, Shepard
'98. Where it's growing, it ended up being buried under about an 8" cover
of shredded oak leaves and other yard debris. The dogs like to lay around
in this area so I don't have much growing here, but I just left this plant
alone. Of all the iris last year, this one withstood the heat and drought
the best. The planted clump of AR will not bloom this year, but this stray
rhizome is. It benefited greatly from the mulch and oak shade. I don't
normally mulch bearded iris, but I can make a case for it if the conditions
are like they have been here the last several years. This one did not
receive any supplemental water.
The flatbed trailer doesn't make for an attractive backdrop. I use it for a
workbench for all sorts of things, but mainly to cut up the treated posts
seen around a lot of the iris beds. Have to have it close to an electrical
outlet to use the electric chainsaw. Likely to be seen in the background
for the foreseeable future.

1. Where did you read that fixed blade knives are illegal in Seattle?
2. The main point of the RCW you quoted is here: "...carry, exhibit, display, or draw...in a manner, under circumstances, and at a time and place that either manifests an intent to intimidate another or that warrants alarm for the safety of other persons."
The bolded part lists conditions that must be met in order for the carry to be unlawful. Having a firearm in a holster or a knife in a sheath does not meet any of those conditions.
Anti-gunners have tried to make legal hay out of this before and got shot down because the RCW doesn't stop with "carry, exhibit, display, or draw." It has to be done "in a manner" and "under circumstances" and "at a time and place" that shows an intent to intimidate another or warrants alarm. Holstered pistols and sheathed knives have been disqualified as warranting alarm and intention of intimidation.
Hope that helps.

Half Squat Racks, Compact Power Racks and Quarter Weightlifting Cages - When it comes to strength training, strength training equipment such as squat racks, squat cages, power racks and power cages have no equal in providing a safe and versatile platform where gold standard barbell exercises like squats, chest presses and shoulder presses can be performed. However, even standard size squat racks and power cages can be too large for some locations. To save space, half squat racks, power racks and quarter squat racks
offer a reduced footprint. These smaller, more compact designs are achieved by removing the walk in "cage" and replacing it with J-hooks and adustable height safety bars on the outside of the uprights. The wall-mounted quarter cage is the ultimate in saving space. The end result is the ability to perform the same strength training exercises within a much smaller work space. Weight plate storage, weightlifting platforms, resistance band pegs, pull-up bars and multi-benches are available on the smaller racks just as they are on the larger racks. Check out our large selection of weightlifting racks by Legend Fitness, TuffStuff, Bomb Proof, York Barbell, Torque Fitness, Powertec and BodyCraft.
