Hey Halo fans, were you totally pumped after seeing that preview clip for "The Package" the other day
Halo anime anthology Halo Legends is coming to North American DVD and Blu-Ray on February 16th. Which of the three versions will you be picking up?
The final episode of 343 Industries' series of animated shorts set in the Halo universe will get its showing next week. Studio 4oC's Halo Legends "Origins" wraps up the preview program on Halo Waypoint on Saturday, January 2.
Halo Legends, Microsoft's collaboration with some of the biggest productions house of the anime industry, has a Japanese release date. The film will be released February 16, 2010 on DVD, Blu-ray and digital platforms.
Every Saturday is video day in Halo Waypoint, and this week features the debut of "The Duel," the next episode from The Halo Legends anime anthology.
On Friday night, Spike TV showed, amongst a ton of Halo 3: ODST coverage, a preview of the upcoming Halo anime project, Halo Legends.
Originally when Halo Legends, the series of anime shorts, was announced, the role of Ghost In The Shell director Mamoru Oshii was unknown.
The San Diego Comic-Con draws more than a hundred thousand people from around the world each year to revel in all things pop-culture. But last weekend's gathering also highlighted the strengthening connection between comic books and video games.
Microsoft's announcement of Halo Waypoint
Mamoru Oshii, director of landmark anime Ghost in the Shell, has joined the Halo Legends project and will be working on a Halo anime for studio Production I.G.
We've seen the screenshots
That's right, there's a Halo anime

Closing Time: Sox go 0-for-11 with RISP to spoil solid Lackey start |
04.30.11 at 10:17 pm ET |
Call it missed opportunities (yes, plural). Call it not performing in the clutch. Call it leaving ducks on the pond.
However you want to characterize Saturday's Red Sox' loss at the hands of the Mariners, it will still go down in the books as a 2-0 shutout loss in which the Hometowne Team went a putrid 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position and 0-for-4 with the bases juiced.
Lost in the effort was a solid six-inning, two-run performance out of John Lackey. Lackey had his third quality start in a row to lower his season ERA – which stood at 15.58 before the streak – to a much nicer number of 5.65. With the loss, he drops to 2-3 after the month of April. Seattle starter Doug Fister went 5 2/3 strong, allowing five hits and five walks while striking out four. Seattle closer Brandon League worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his seventh save of the season.
Boston finishes April with an 11-15 record while Seattle finishes 13-15. Here's what went wrong and what went right for the Red Sox in their loss.
-A David Ortiz strikeout and J.D. Drew flyout to center with the bases juiced in the first. Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Gonzalez and Kevin Youkilis going down in order following a Jacoby Ellsbury double in the third. A Carl Crawford flyout to right with Jed Lowrie on second in the fourth. Gonzalez's lineout/double play with the bases loaded in the fifth and Youkilis's consequent foul out right after. Lowrie's flyout to center and Jarrod Saltalamacchia's foul out with a man on second in the sixth. Ortiz's flyout to left with runners on second and third in the seventh.
Get the picture?
The Red Sox bats were absolutely dreadful when they had the best chances to score runs. Boston is now hitting .212 (52-for-245) on the season with runners in scoring position and .241 (7-for-29) when the bases are full of Boston ballplayers.
-Lackey's four walks were a season-high and his most since Aug. 2 of last year in a 6-5 loss to the Indians. His first walk, in fact, was to Ichiro in the third inning and led to the game's first run. After throwing 108 pitches over eight innings in his last start, it appeared he had the stuff to pitch a similar length, but four walks in six innings led to 113 pitches, forcing the starter out.
-Although much of the focus will be on how inadequate the Sox bats were in the clutch, Lackey performed more than admirably even in the most dire of straits. In his six innings, he forced Mariners hitters to strand nine of their own men on base including six in scoring position.
Behind him, Hideki Okajima (1.2 IP, 0 H, 1 K) and Dan Wheeler (1 IP, 1 H, 1 K) kept the Mariners at bay and at least gave the Sox a chance as the game came to a close.
-Every member of the Sox starting nine reached base at least once, except for Ortiz who finished 0-for-4.
-Ellsbury (nine games) and Gonzalez (seven games) both extended their own hitting streaks in the first three innings.

Tech giants tackle information overload
Your BlackBerry buzzes with a text from your boss, snapping you out of your Twitter-surfing trance. Your friend calls you and tells you to check out his Facebook profile, as you respond to your spouse's instant message about dinner plans. All the while, your in-box is overflowing with new e-mail messages.
If humans were like computers, our screens would be frozen--overloaded by information and too much multitasking.
The term "information overload" has floated around for years and been the topic of much analysis, but the situation remains. According to recent research by enterprise research firm Basex, these … Read more

Abstract: | We consider forecast combination and, indirectly, model selection for VAR models when there is uncertainty about which variables to include in the model in addition to the forecast variables. The key difference from traditional Bayesian variable selection is that we also allow for uncertainty regarding which endogenous variables to include in the model. That is, all models include the forecast variables, but may otherwise have differing sets of endogenous variables. This is a difficult problem to tackle with a traditional Bayesian approach. Our solution is to focus on the forecasting performance for the variables of interest and we construct model weights from the predictive likelihood of the forecast variables. The procedure is evaluated in a small simulation study and found to perform competitively in applications to real world data. |

Montessori Albums
The albums below require the latest version of Adobe's free pdf Reader. Older versions will not correctly display some of the images.
These albums were made during my training. The training program provided the "raw" text for these albums. It was unformatted text with many errors of both syntax and semantics. Nevertheless, I do consider these albums as my own personal creations. I created all of the images and digital artwork as well as rewrote or reworked at least 80% of the content. Most importantly, I claim credit for all of the mistakes in the albums in their current form. Any feedback that would help correct these errors or improve the content would be very appreciated.
These albums are not a substitute for Montessori training. The initial intent of sharing these albums is for other Montessori teachers and those working through a Montessori training program to see the way I did it – the only way I knew how. Hopefully, they will provide some feedback on how I can improve. Simply downloading the albums and working through the lessons will still fall well short of what a good Montessori training program will provide.
Other Montessori Albums out there:

TopCubans Experience:
Directly from the era of Art Deco, this sensual Cuban cigar has all the slim line allure of a top model and the soul of a blues man. A twisted cap makes the Especial easily recognisable and adds to its intrigue and flare. It may be the picture of elegance but the Especial is as strong as an ox! Once again the trademark earthiness and wet wood aromas are full-bodied and powerful. Seductive whilst being strong, the Especiales is a cigar you can take out on a night out and show it off! |

A few weeks ago, I noticed that my hair was starting to shed. It wasn't very much, and it's not really a problem, but if I were to grab a handful of hair and give a tug, a few strands of hair would come out. This has never happened before, as my hair has always been tightly on my head. My diet is solid and I am taking a multi, calcium, zinc, anti-oxidants, and a lot of different whole foods per day. The only thing that I can think of is that I've been cutting for approx 24 weeks now (very slowly) losing at the rate of approx. 1 lb per week.
Can anyone think of why this might be happening? Some mineral or micro deficiency I should be supplementing with? This has happened me before, about 6 years ago when I was semi-anorexic and had a very bad diet (lost about 50 lbs).

Crystal Kelsey
August 3, 1996- May 11,2012
My name is Michael.. Or on here I'm known as Chimmey Station.. I have meant many caring friends on here... And I have little caring friend in real life... But one stood out.. Her name was Crystal Kelsey.. She was a 16 year old female... At first I thought she was a happy little girl. But as our friendship grew. My sleep began to dwindle, I Told her what I tell every girl I talk to that make it obvious that they have something on there mind.
I said the following four words to her after school when I saw her crying at her locker. I said "You can call me." She did... Everytime she had a problem at home, at school, anywhere... She called me. And she did, almost every night of the week.. This continued for five years.. I stood by her for 5 years. Being like a big brother she never had...
Crystal was an only child, she grew up lonely.. Her mom always working out of town. And her dad was always working at the court(Now as a doctor.) We spent alot of time hanging out... I did what I was able to make her smiles.
As she started highschool, the teasing became worse.. Being humiliated in the changing room before and after gym because of her body... Crystal was a shemale, meaning she had breast and a penis, besides her family. I was the only one who knew before people at school found out... Then after that day. I would find her crying on the bleachers alone during lunch time
The thought of dropping out of school was on her mind all the time now... But she knew that if she did that she wouldn't be able to do what she wanted to do for a career. Which was being Avalanche rescuer. So even though teasing and bullying happend at school. She stayed.
During the last week or so of April,2012. Her mother and father divorced... Causing her depression to hit her hard. She had no one to turn to except for me... She called me one early morning crying and she asked me if she could come move in. I said yes without hesitation. Her father was ok with it, so he helped move her stuff over to my house. Him being ok with it kinda bugged me. But during this he got a new career as a doctor in Canada Captial(Ottawa.) so he was moving anyway. And he found a new "sweetheart" who didn't like kids.
After a couple days, Crystal was settled into my room. We were buidling a room onto the house anyway. Which was gonna be my moms office. But we were gonna make it Crystals room.
Crystal got sick, and she wasn't able to work or even leave my futon.. So she watched movies and talked on Furnation(Thanks to me.) And when I didn't work we both cuddled up and watched movies. No I didn't like Crystal in the "Girlfriend" kinda way. Sure she was attractive. But she wasn't my type. And at that point I was already interested in another girl that I've meant.
The day she went missing. She worked and her shift ended at 7:00pm and she was supposed to come right home, because we were going out for dinner for my sisters birthday. But she never showed up... So I told my mom and uncle and sister to leave without me and I'd stay home until she got home.. She never came, so I called work(We both worked at a Bar and grill, she was a waitress.)
And they said that she left already. I waited an hour then called the police and said that she never made it home and they had an officer come over and gather some information, I called back a couple days ago and they had nothing. So I filed a missing person report.
A couple weeks passed and still nothing.. I found out the day she went missing a couple of the girls a work heard her telling her friend that she was a shemale. Then other co-workers found out and one of our managers found out. And asked her in front of the restaurant(Manager was fired and written up with sexual harassment.)
More time passed and we heard nothing about her. On May 12,2012 I was working, and I had a Hostess come back and say there was a Police officer here and he wanted to speak to me. It was the same police officer who came to my house and gathered the information. He took me outside and told me that they found her body down by the bay, and that there was evidence of her taking her own life.
I talked to him for a couple more minutes and said thank you for letting me kno. And I headed back inside in tears. With my co-workers and most of the customers looking at me.. And I went back to work, trying to finish the night after what I found out. The police officer gave me a time and address to go on May 12,2012 to autopsy(Where they find out how the person died.
So I thought I would like to share a little of what Crystal had to go through. I belive she came out about in a status conversation about Genders on FN. She didn't tell alot of people because her trust issues were so screwed up.
Crystal had no previous attempt on suicide. Before she went missing she sent a message to Oki Asumi(A member of FN, and a close friend of mine and Crystal's)
Crystal Kelsey
Rest in Peace,
August 3,1996-May 11,2012
Died at the age of 16.

This was my second marathon after the 2003 NYC marathon. Nagano was definitely a good experience. Well organized and a flat course, the race was a good training marathon for more races I plan to do later in the year. The field was pretty amazing and inspiring - just over 6,000 (although I noticed that only 4,000 made the 5-hour cutoff). I was impressed by how many older marathoners there were - a large part of the field looked to be in their 60s or older. There were a lot of spectators, however toward the latter parts of the race when support would have been good, they became almost completely quiet. Other gripes are that the course, while flat, was not exactly easy. There is no shade at all the whole way, and I wound up with a bad sunburn on a warm but not hot day. Also, there was a strong headwind for the last 10K that succeeded in lifting the topsoil from the farms we ran by - not too much fun to be eating dirt when you are just struggling through the last parts of the race. Overall though, this was a good race. The little league team all dressed in their uniforms at the 12K mark waiting to high-five passersby brought a big smile to my face, as did the screaming schoolgirls at the 25K mark. Was also nice to see some people waving American flags - not really used to seeing openly friendly attitudes towards the US of A these days. The Nagano Marathon is definitely worth checking out if you are based in Japan, and maybe hopping over if you are based in East Asia.
The course was probably not the most exciting, but I didn't see it. Many years ago I read that the Japanese fans are strange. They just wave the flags in total silence. Almost a surreal experience. As soon as I started, I couldn't believe my eyes, and ears. They were cheering so well, so loud, so enthusiastically, and there were so many of them. As a result, I was running constantly looking at their smiling faces, screaming 'Arigatoo' to their 'Gambatte!' (good luck) and smiling back to them. The Nagano fans can be compared only to NY, and are probably even better than in Boston. A lot of spectators were old people, many on wheelchairs, waving and screaming with no less enthusiasm than their younger countrymen and women. I wish the weather was a bit cooler, but it all depends on luck, and this year the marathon day was rather warm while a day earlier and the next day were cooler. Still, I enjoyed the Nagano Marathon very much, especially its great spectators.
It was an amazing place for a marathon. Great time of year, beautiful scenery, and a great course. I was especially impressed with how well organized the event was and the number of fans on the sidelines. I was smiling and nodding my head to the cheers until the last 10k when all I could concentrate on was putting one step in front of the other. The drums were an added bonus. It was a bit warm during the run and the last few kilometers seemed to stretch into a never-ending farmland for a while there, but the water/sports drink stations kept me going. Overall, a great day. I will definitely consider doing it again next year!
The marathon started at the Olympic Memorial Torch Platform in Yamanouch Town. It was a picture perfect starting-overlooking beautiful mountains surrounding the town. The first 10 KM was all downhill along the most beautiful cherry blossoms. The rest of the course was mostly flat and fast. However, there was no shade at all, it felt hotter than 18.5 degrees C. from the running on asphalt after a couple of hours. But, there were plenty of water and sports drinks at each refreshment station to cool me off, Japanese drummers to keep my pace, and enthusiastic 140,000 spectators. Eventually, I finished at Olympic Memorial Stadium. This race was organized with the OLYMPIC TOUCH. Among some 5,000 runners, there were 15 elite runners from Africa, Greece, Poland, Russia, and China besides 14 Japanese invited runners.The whole race was broadcasted live on TV and a radio station. I got to watch reruns on TV at 2 AM at Sunroute Hotel. There were fun cultural activities and ceremonies before and after the marathon. As a vacation marathoner, I went for the full effect-welcoming activites-Japanese drum playing and Japanese dancing at the registration desk at Big Hat, Nagano train station, opening ceremony, and farewell party (must-if you love great food and saki) at Hotel Kokusai. There were English interpreters at formal ceremonies. It was a GREAT way to see and experience Japan! The Japan Travel Bureau did a good job in making foreign tourist-runners welcome!
So many spectators it became tiring to continuously high-five them all the way round! They cheer you on all the way round and really helped. Didn't find the weather too bad, although the downhill incline the first 5km or so may be a little tough on the knees. Beautiful course though, and a nice town to stay in for the weekend. I'm going back next year and looking forward to it already.
The people were lined up, it seemed, the entire 26.2 miles. The course became hot however. We started the race at 9:05 a.m. So, by 11:00 the road was hot. Luckily there was a lot of water stations. The race was extremely well organized and I used the Japan Travel Bureau (JTB) to assist with travel. I would definitely do this event again. Course overall is flat and finishes inside the Main Olympic Stadium. GO FOR IT!

It seems that when assigning constant expressions to a signal, Verilator expects the LSH to be as wide as the widest parameter on the RHS, rather than the result of the expression. For example, when compiling the following code:
`define NUM 32
module test (output logic [4:0] counter, input logic clk, input logic rst); endmodule // test
always_ff @(posedge clk) begin
if (rst)
counter <= `NUM - 1;
counter <= counter - 1;
gets the following warning:
%Warning-WIDTH: test.v:15: Operator ASSIGNDLY expects 5 bits on the Assign RHS, but Assign RHS's SUB generates 32 or 6 bits. %Warning-WIDTH: Use "/* verilator lint_off WIDTH */" and lint_on around source to disable this message. %Error: Exiting due to 1 warning(s) %Error: Command Failed verilator_bin --cc test.v --top-module test
This is while `NUM-1 fits exactly in the 5 bits provided by the LHS signal.
#1 Updated by Wilson Snyder over 2 years ago
- Status changed from New to WillNotFix
True enough.
By the verilog rules, the expression "32 - 1" has width 32, which is what verilator correctly reports.
It's allowance of the width 5 is an attempt to reduce false warnings, but at the time the widths are resolved it can't know the expression will later resolve to a smaller width (because expression eval itself depends on width determination!) The best it can do for now is use the 5.

A Tulsa couple concerned about the lack of access to grocery stores for many north Tulsans has decided to take matters into their own hands and plans to open a small corner market in Brady Heights sometime next year.
Leah Pickard said she and her husband Justin hope to have the Latimer Store at 210 W. Latimer open by mid-summer 2010, though she said it could take longer than that, given the extensive renovation that must be completed on the property first.
"We bought a lot and four walls," she said, describing the condition of the building.
Pickard, 28, said the couple bought a house in north Tulsa a little more than a year ago--she's from Texas, although her husband, 29, is a Tulsa native--and has long had a desire to start a small grocery store after living in England and enjoying the corner markets that are commonplace there.
Pickard and her husband were visiting her brother-in-law in the neighborhood one day and happened to pass by the building. It immediately caught their attention.
"We thought, 'That's the cutest building we ever saw,'" she said.
A few weeks later, they were passing by again and saw a for sale sign on the building. Pickard and her husband inquired about its availability but were disappointed to discover that another local neighborhood grocer--Scott Smith, owner of the Blue Jackalope in Crosbie Heights--had beaten them to the draw.
Later, though, Smith withdrew from the project, and the building became available again. The Pickards wasted little time taking advantage of the situation.
"We ended up jumping on it," Pickard said, adding that the building reminded them of the small corner markets they had become accustomed to in England.
"We thought, 'Oh my gosh, that's our dream grocery store,'" she said.
Pickard described herself and her husband as community activists and Christians who are interested in a number of social issues, including the inaccessibility of affordable, healthy food for many north Tulsans and the lack of affordable home ownership options for those in low-income areas. The opportunity to open a corner market offering fresh, nutritious food was one they simply couldn't pass up, she said.
Pickard said she and her husband were educated about many of the problems facing north Tulsa by neighborhood activist Demalda Newsome of the North Tulsa Farmers Market. She said they are opening the market to help resolve some of those issues and not because they consider it a good economic opportunity.
"Oh, definitely--we're keeping our day jobs," she said. "I'm actually a stay-at-home mom most of the time, and (the store) is right around the corner from our house, so it'll be easy to get over there. But we'll be hiring people to work there because we wanted to create jobs. We wanted to have the opportunity to create employment."
Pickard said the renovation of the 1920s building has taken a back seat to various paperwork issues so far, as she has worked to get the grocery registered as a historic building, which would enable the couple to take advantage of various tax breaks. They've also been developing connections with the North Tulsa Economic Development Initiative and securing a loan.
But work likely will begin soon, Pickard said. She said plans call for her husband to rebuild the roof himself, while contractors will be brought in to do the rest.
Pickard said the building, which is a little less than 2,000 square feet, was actually a grocery store in its original incarnation before being converted to a pottery studio and later an auto-repair shop. Now, she said, it will be restored to its original purpose, though that will require a great deal of work.
"It's everything--the roof, the plumbing. The cool thing is, we can do it in a sustainable fashion," she said, adding that among the green features the couple has planned is the addition of a geothermal water heater. "It's an important thing to us."
So is addressing the problem of food deserts, which are regarded as areas in which residents have no access to a nearby grocery store. A significant first step in tackling the problem in north Tulsa seems to be on the horizon with the recent announcement that the Gateway Market would be open by the middle of January at the old Albertsons location at Pine Street and Peoria Avenue.
But community leaders who are working on the issue--including state Rep. Seneca Scott, D-Tulsa, who is helping conduct an interim legislative study on the best ways to offer incentives to healthy corner grocery stores and encourage them to move into underserved areas--have indicated there will still be many neighborhoods in north Tulsa that need their own corner market.
Scott said recently that there are five such markets poised to open in the area throughout the next year. The Latimer Store might be the first of those.
"We're going to offer healthy food, lots of organic food and lots of local stuff," Pickard said. "We're going to stay away from unhealthy food. If a (convenience store) carries it, we won't. In fact, there's one at Pine and Cincinnati near here. If people want junk food, they can go there."
Pickard said the building has two storefronts, and they will be leasing space to a neighbor who wants to open a coffeehouse on one side.
"She's ready to go," she said.
Pickard said she and her husband also are working with NTEDI to establish a distribution warehouse available to small, independent markets, so the owners can band together and place their orders from wholesalers in bulk, passing the savings along to customers. That will help make fresh, wholesome food affordable to all, she believes.
"We can't afford to shop at Whole Foods, and we don't want that to be an obstacle to others," she said.
The Pickards already have three children and are expecting another soon, but that isn't deterring them from launching a project they hope will bring tremendous benefits to their neighborhood.
"It's a cool thing that they get to witness that, and we get to train them to be responsible for their community," she said. "We already have several kids from the neighborhood who come over to our house every day. We want this to be a community draw and having a place where kids can play will be a big part of that."

Additional Flower Resources Lower Rio Grande Valley Flowers Flower Power |
Vervain is the common name given to flowering plants in the genus Verbena of the Verbena family (Verbenaceae).
Over forty different vervain species are native plants in the United States, and they can be found growing everywhere with the exception of Alaska.
The notched purple petals are a good field identification clue.

St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral is located in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City at 127 NW 7th Street.
Click the map to the left to get a closer look or to get directions directly from your doorstep.
St. Paul's shares the vision of the larger Episcopal Church in seeing Children as having unique spiritual needs, even as they provide a blessing to our corporate worship and life. We are devoted to responding to and including children as they grow into full participation in the Body of Christ.
St. Paul's takes seriously the call to receive, nurture and treasure each child as a gift from God. Talented and faithful teachers proclaim the Gospel to children in ways that empower them to receive and respond to God's love. St. Paul's wholeheartedly provides the necessary resources to staff and equip a successful children's church school in our undercroft.
The children of St. Paul's are included and integrated into our on-going worship, service and witness of God's love in Christ Jesus. For more information, contact our Director of Christian Education, Kate Huston.
Child Care
A team of four childcare givers, coordinated by Marilyn Rogez, is available in our well-equipped nursery and toddler rooms every Sunday from 8:45 AM to 12:30 PM. Childcare is available at other times as needed. For more information,contact Kate Huston, Christian Education Coordinator.
Church School for the 2010 - 2011 runs through May 29th. We will recognize our wonderful Church School Teachers on May 8th, 2011 at both 9:00 and 11:00 services.

St. Paul's Vacation Bible School St. Paul's Cathedral offers its own version of Vacation Bible School for children 3 years old through the fifth grade. This year, Camp Cathedral 2011 will be held the last week of July. Previous Camp Cathedral themes have includedThe Earth Is the Lord's; Saints of God; and Lord, Teach Us to Pray. In a typical Camp meeting, we gather for games in the garden, convene for a brief chapel service, and then cycle through story time, crafts and music. The week culminates in a family picnic Friday at lunchtime and a presentation during the 9:00 o'clock service Sunday morning. We rely heavily on our wonderful youth and adult volunteer helpers, and all are encouraged to come to Camp.
Registration Forms are available in the Reception Area. Early response is appreciated, for appropriately sized T-shirts.
Special Events
During Advent and Lent our Church School programs also meets on Wednesday evenings. In Advent we rehearse for the annual Christmas Pageant and Children's Choir while during the Lenten season we meet for crafts and stories about the life and experiences of Jesus in preparation for the celebration of Easter. This past Lenten season we were blessed to have the talents of Ashley Ozan, Buffy Heater, Amy Williams, Lauren Bass and Melissa Sartin during our Wednesday evening events.
We have a commitment to help children worship. While they may not always understand what is going on, they probably understand more than we realize. By our attitude, they can understand that this is a place where they are loved and accepted. The worship service can provide an excellent opportunity for parents to be involved in the spiritual nurturing of their children. Talk with them about the service. Explain what is happening. Share your enthusiasm and excitement about being part of St. Paul's.
St. Crispin's
St. Crispin's Episcopal Conference Center is located on 400 acres in the rolling, oak-covered hills of Seminole County within easy driving distance of Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Quiet trails and clear lakes make the conference center a place where re-creation becomes a natural part of the St. Crispin's experience.
Summer Camp: Summer Camp, held at St. Crispin's, begins in early June and runs for eight weeks. Graduates of grades 3-12 are eligible for the camping program. All camp sessions are coeducational.
Emphasis is placed on individual growth in a context of Christian community through relationships with other youth and adults, through religious education and worship, and through a variety of well-planned and supervised creative and recreational programs.
An Episcopal priest, deacon or a qualified religious education worker is responsible for the worship and education program of each session.
Six of the nine cabins hold eight campers, the other three hold twelve. Each cabin has two counselors; one is a member of the camping program's summer staff, the other one is a volunteer there for the week. These counselors are responsible for the health, safety, happiness and general welfare of the campers in their cabins. Counselors are carefully screened, selected and supervised by camping program personnel. Each week a registered nurse or medical doctor also volunteers a week of their time to provide on-site medical care for the camp.
Summer Staff members, who are under the supervision of the Camp Director, are chosen for their interest, commitment and abilities. Among them will be people trained in water safety, boating, sports and games, crafts and other skills. This full-time summer staff consists of adults of college age or older with proven talent in working with young people. In addition to the summer and volunteer staffers, the program provides a nurse for each session. The camper to counselor and staff ratio is maintained approximately 4 to 1.
Over the years, campers and staff at St. Crispin's have developed a rule of life that guides all the work, play and prayer. Attempting to live by this rule in all activities helps to provide each camper a rich personal experience.
St. Crispin's Rule of Life
For more information, contact Kate Huston, Director of Christian Education, or the Diocesan Office at 232-4820 or Aaron Mooney, Summer Camp Director. All Application and Reigstration Forms are available at the Diocesan website.
New Beginnings:
New Beginnings is program for junior high aged children (grades 6 - 9). The weekend-long program, hosted at St. Crispin's, focuses on building and strengthening children's relationships with self, friends, and God. Look for registration materials in late 2011.

June is festival time par excellence and The Hague is the place to be
During the fifth edition of The Hague Festivals, the city and the seaside resorts of Scheveningen and Kijkduin will be the proud venues for many great festivals and events. To kick off, there will be the Royal Beach Concert at Scheveningen, featuring Bryan Adams and Elton John. On Sunday June 26th ,Parkpop, Europe's largest free pop festival, will close the ranks. Don't miss Shopping Night on Thursday June 23rd, featuring a large catwalk in the middle of the street and tips on your mobile phone about great offers and the latest trends. This formula is so successful that other Dutch cities are following our example. The motto is 'Shop till you drop!'.
Jazzy tunes
But that's not all! 'The Hague is truly a jazz city and it shows: The Hague Jazz (June 17 – 19) is growing year by year and this year's edition (number six) will be held at Kyocera Stadium, with plenty of room for more jazzy tunes. Big names will perform, including the extravagant diva Grace Jones. For a more intimate atmosphere, check out Jazz'in de Gracht; musicians on canal boats entertain the audience on the quay with jazz, funk and blues.
Festival Classique
The Hague's historic Hofvijver will once again be the main but not the only location for Festival Classique (June 14 – 19). Beautiful classical music will be heard at many special places in town, the motto being ´no nonsense, just good music`. ´Bolle buiken, ronde klanken´ is performed especially for pregnant women, featuring soothing harp music to relax both mothers to be and their unborn babies. Too normal for you? In the Gevangenpoort, a former prison, you can catch 'Bach in de Bajes' (Bach in Jail). Perhaps Bach's best music stems from his period in jail…
Big names
The Hague Festivals presents a wealth of big name performers in June: Bryan Adams, Golden Earring and Elton John on Scheveningen beach during Royal Beach Concert, Jamie Cullum at Parkpop and Grace Jones, Trijntje Oosterhuis and Duran Duran at The Hague Jazz. Who's next?
June line up
The Hague Festivals presents over twenty festivals and events. Big names to look out for: Royal Beach Concert (June 4 and 5), Shopping Night (June 23) , Parkpop (June 26), Den Haag Sculptuur (June 6 – September 1), Vlaggetjesdag (June 11), The Hague Jazz (June 17 -19) , Festival Classique (June 14 – 19) and Nederlandse Veteranendag ( Dutch Veteran's Day, June 25). For details, please visit www.thehaguefestivals.com.
The Hague Festivals
The Hague Festivals will put Den Haag in a festive mood all throughout June and showcase what the city can offer. From classical concerts to midnight shopping. From rock bands to outdoor exhibitions.

Pilots may soon be able to avoid rain and turbulence if a new method of analysing satellite data takes off. Developed by scientists at the University of Alabama at Huntsville, NASA and the University of Wisconsin, the system is about 65 percent accurate in giving a one-hour warning of heavy rains within a thunderstorm. The new system takes visible and infrared images from two different satellite systems and merges them. This allows the model to get new cloud top temperature readings every 15 minutes.
This will show if the cloud is getting bigger or forming ice, which affects the amount of lightning in a storm. Turbulence which cannot be seen by either the human eye or Doppler radar can also be detected by the system. The model reveals the turbulence, which can form invisible waves similar to those on a beach, by showing bands of hot and cold radiation.
By knowing about heavy thunderstorms and powerful turbulence up to an hour in advance, pilots can take evasive action, improving safety, comfort and efficiency as well as saving money. The satellite data also covers most of the planet, giving information on areas not covered by other aviation weather prediction systems.

Reviews of Standing Stone Care and Rehab
Average Rating: based on 1 Review
I am a friend or relative of a resident
My grandmother was a resident at the nursing home for over 4 years, before going home to visit her maker. I visited on a monthly basis. At first she was very unhappy to be away from home, after the first couple of months there was nowhere else she had rather be. They had arts & crafts and music time. There were lots of hands on activates she could be involved with. She loved having the visitors (local school children, girl scouts, and church groups) were always popping in to spread cheer. It was always a very clean facility and the food really wasn't that bad. The staff was always friendly and even remembered me by name (even though I wasn't a daily or weekly visitor). They also let us use their cafeteria on numerous occasions, weather it be a family birthday or everyone trying to get together to see granny for the holidays. If you are close to the Monterey area, I highly recommend Standing Stone.

How These Mets Stack Up in Franchise History
Four times in the first 50 years of Mets history has the club started at 7-3 after 10 games. This year marks the fifth time.
The first time the Mets started at 7-3 was in 1986, not a bad year. The next was in '88and then again in 1999, both seasons ending in the post season. The last time was in 2007, a year the Mets should have went to the playoffs but failed in horror the last half month of the season.
The only seasons in which the Mets finished better than 7-3 was in 1972, 1985, and 2006 at 8-2. Injuries, especially to Rusty Staub, short circuited what should have been a very promising season in '72. The Mets fell 3 games short of the post season in '85. And the only time the Mets made it to the post season after winning 8 of their first 10 was in 2006, the last time they went to the post season.
So the 2012 Mets are in very good company. However, nothing is guaranteed, especially in a division which could likely be the most competitive in all of baseball.
The worst start after 10 games occurred in the inaugural season of 1962 at 1-9. In fact it took a win in game 10 to eliminate an 0-10 start. The Mets have never finished better than 8-2 after the first 10.
What season did the Mets have a very bad start but finished extremely well. Never forget '69, the season when the Mets started 3-7 then won the World Series.

Early lambing continues on the farm, as we had a wonderful early-morning suprise in the barn at chore time:
The lamb is a singleton, and she is HUGE. By the time I arrived, she'd been on her feet and licked nearly dry. She's the first lamb ever born to this particular mother (a name for whom we have yet to decide on), who was herself born very late in the spring of 2010. Last year was a little too early for her to lamb, so she seems to have "saved it up" and given us a really nice little girl now.
I managed to catch this shot of the three generations:
Mom is nearest, nuzzling her lamb. Grand-damme Biancha is in the background, chewing cud.

It looks and feels a bit like an L.A. club impresario's idea of a Marigny bar (that is, very clean, perfectly lit, not out of place in a New York hipster hotel that wanted a New Orleans-themed club). Then again, it's also what everyone wished would exist in the Marigny, a well-thought-out version of the (slightly divey, even if we do love it) R Bar. Having said that, for all the trends on parade (dreads, funny hats, and some attitude), the bar and employees are welcoming. And if you find our favorite New Orleans bars too shabby and run-down for comfort, we won't mind if you spend your time here.

Pacala and Socolow (8) analyzed a scenario that envisioned stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of CO2 at 500 ppm within 50 years. They found that reaching that goal required the deployment of seven existing or nearly existing groups of technologies, such as more fuel-efficient vehicles, to remove seven "wedges" of predicted future emissions (the wedge image coming from the shape created by graphing each increment of avoided future emissions). Those seven wedges, each of which represents 25 gigatons of avoided carbon emissions by 2054, are cited by some as sufficient to "solve" climate change for 50 years (9).The total is even more than 25 wedges if you want to avoid using the oceans as a store of carbon dioxide or reduce emissions below 2010 levels.. The numbers that Hoffert presents in his perspective are the same as those that I present in The Climate Fix, under a similar analysis. However you do the math, the challenge is huge and making progress will take decades of effort.
Unfortunately, the original wedges approach greatly underestimates needed reductions. In part, that is because Pacala and Socolow built their scenario on a business as usual (BAU) emissions baseline based on assumptions that do not appear to be coming true. For instance, the scenario assumes that a shift in the mix of fossil fuels will reduce the amount of carbon released per unit of energy. This carbon-to-energy ratio did decline during prior shifts from coal to oil, and then from oil to natural gas. Now, however, the ratio is increasing as natural gas and oil approach peak production, coal production rises, and new coal-fi red power plants are built in China, India, and the United States (10).
The enormous challenge of making the transition to carbon-neutral power sources becomes even clearer when emissions-reduction scenarios are based on arguably more realistic baselines, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's "frozen technology" scenario ( 11, 12). Capturing all alternate energy technologies, including those assumed within this BAU scenario, means that a total of ~18 of Pacala and Socolow's wedges would be needed to curb emissions (13) (see the figure). And to keep future warming below 2°C, even under the Davis et al. age-out scenario, an additional 7 wedges of emissions reductions would be needed— for a total of 25 wedges (see the figure).

Natural gas has a supply glut due to technological developments for the foreseeable future and has become very competitive with coal.

CO2 ppm targets are very clever. They conveniently ignore the logarithmic relationship to temperature and the (not so settled as we are lead to believe) feedback effects required to scare the public.
One of the debating tactics used by AGW proponents is that the science is simple. It's surprising they don't employ an army of 12 year old after schoolers with pocket calulators rather than multi million dollar computer models. - Thu Sep 09, 01:29:00 PM MDT

I believe your definition of a wedge is incorrect:
A wedge is about 1 GtC/yr or 3.67 GtCO2/yr.
2054 - 2010 = 44 yrs
So it's about 44 GtC or about 161.5 GtCO2 "not 25 gigatons of avoided carbon emissions by 2054".
But for 8 to 13 GtC/yr (8 to 13 wedges/yr). of sustainable 'new' sequestration, see:

Thanks, but the definition of a wedge comes straight from Pacala/Socolow and is as described by Hoffert in the excerpt above.
The 2054 refers to the 50 year period starting in 2004. In the current Hoffert perspective he speak of 50 years to 2060, as in the figure. - Thu Sep 09, 06:15:00 PM MDT

A year ago, Romm pointed out the insufficiency of 7 wedges.
We probably need more than 14 wedges starting in 2010 to stay below 450 ppm, and we currently don't have the political will to do more than 2 or 3. In particular, the policies needed to achieve most of the wedges are currently anathema to most conservatives, even the relatively few who actually believe the climate problem warrants strong government action.

Romm has been consistently wrong on this point.
From the post you link: "If we could do the 12-14 wedges in four decades, we should be able to keep CO2 concentrations to under 450 ppm."
Romm is almost half right;-)
Romm wrote in Nature Reports Climate Change:
"Although it has recently been argued that "enormous advances in energy technology will be needed to stabilize atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at acceptable levels", on the contrary it would seem that "humanity already possesses the fundamental scientific, technical, and industrial know-how to solve the carbon and climate problem for the next half-century.""
Wrong. - Thu Sep 09, 07:14:00 PM MDT

Sorry! From Pacala & Sokolow's Science paper:
"A wedge represents an activity that reduces emissions to the atmosphere that starts at zero today and increases linearly until it accounts for 1 GtC/year of reduced carbon emissions in 50 years. It thus represents a cumulative total of 25 GtC of reduced emissions over 50 years."
I stand corrected ;-) - Fri Sep 10, 02:42:00 PM MDT

"Now, however, the ratio is increasing as natural gas and oil approach peak production, coal production rises, and new coal-fired power plants are built in China, India, and the United States (10)."
Unless of course 'Peak Coal' occurs as well.
"The resulting base-case is significantly below 36 of the 40 carbon emission scenarios from the IPCC. The global peak of coal production from existing coalfields is predicted to occur close to the year 2011. The peak coal production rate is 160 EJ/y, and the peak carbon emissions from coal burning are 4.0 Gt C (15 Gt CO2) per year. After 2011, the production rates of coal and CO2 decline, reaching 1990 levels by the year 2037, and reaching 50% of the peak value in the year 2047." - Fri Sep 10, 06:12:00 PM MDT

"What evidence is there that natural gas is approaching peak production?"
US Henry Hub Natural gas prices bounced around near $2/Million Btu for most of the 1980's and 1990's then jumping to $4/MBtu in 2000 rising to $8+/Million Btu by 2005.
With the advent of horizontal hydro-fracking the price has since dropped back and has been bouncing around near $4/Million Btu for the last 2 years.
Oil,Gas and Coal production doesn't ever 'peak' in a geological sense. They 'peak' in an economic sense, I.E. when the cost of production exceeds the cost of a substitute. - Sat Sep 11, 10:44:00 AM MDT
- Christopher said...
In which case the evidence for a near future NG peak is decidingly negative. Any statement that says otherwise is using out of date information.
The price will go up a bit when demand for it picks up. - Sat Sep 11, 11:49:00 AM MDT

"The price will go up a bit when demand for it picks up."
In the history of the world there never has been a mineral that has been exhausted.
What happens is the price of the mineral 'goes up a bit' until using something else is cheaper.
A 1,000 Megawatt Base Load Thermal Electricity Plant uses roughly 75 million million Btu's of fuel per year.
At $4/million Btu's for gas that's $300 million a year for fuel. At $8/million Btu's thats $600 million per year.
$600 million in fuel cost savings buys a 1,000 Megawatt nuclear power plant in 10-12 years or a 4,000 Megawatt wind farm complete with two man made reservoirs for pumped storage in 15-20 years. - Sun Sep 12, 07:49:00 PM MDT

I was simply expressing a market truism; the price of NG is low right now (pretty close to what it costs to extract it). It won't stay as low as it is ($4/million btu) because demand will eventually increase for it. - Mon Sep 13, 02:09:00 PM MDT

I doubt there are many 1000 MW base load power plants fired with natural gas anywhere in the world.
It makes much more sense to build small natural gas power plants...including power plants that use the waste heat (combined heat and power).
But I agree that *if* natural gas prices consistently reach $8/million Btu consistently (I don't think they ever will; I don't think there will ever be a 10-year period in which natural gas prices average $8/MMBtu) then alternatives become much more desirable. - Wed Sep 15, 11:18:00 AM MDT

With a pint of Guinness sitting in front of me, I was surrounded by a bustling crowd of both locals and visitors — many of which had likely trudged across the ice earlier day to see the sights of the local festival. And as I looked around, the reality of where I was sank in and I grinned.
Yellowknife. I was in sitting in a bar in Yellowknife.
The history, the lifestyle, the architecture and the legends. The entirety of my situation after spending a year living North of 60 seemed to dawn on me. And even better, in just a few more months, I'll get to play tour guide to this rough but beautiful Northern city.
What had brought me to the 'knife? A local festival held on Yellowknife Bay called the Long John Jamboree. Shortly after I arrived in Fort Smith last year, I heard of the newly-established festival, and I even ended up writing a story about it while working at Northern Journal (login ID and password are both "srj"). This year was to be the second festival, with hopefully many more to come.
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the inaugural Jamboree, but attending this year more than made up for the missed opportunity in 2012. Even better, I made the trek to Yellowknife in my new wheels with my two roommates — a long road trip for a weekend, but without a doubt plenty of fun.
The weekend was bitterly cold, with nighttime temperatures dropping to -35C (without wind chill) and the daytime temperatures not rising much about -25C. It might have kept some people away from the event, but based on the busy parking lot and the number of people watching the dog trick competition, the ice carvers, the Zumba performers (see pic below) and the Snow King Castle admirers, it was clear locals and visitors alike were willing to brave the temperatures for a little fun out on the ice.
My only complaint really has little to do with the Jamboree, but more to do with the fact I don't know Yellowknife all that well. I missed the dogsled and skijoring races, as well as the Abominable Snow Race, simply because I had no idea where they were taking place. That's my own fault, but a few signposts would help point us visitors to the 'knife in the right direction when we're clueless.
But kudos to the Long John Jamboree team for a great time. Temperature aside, it was a beautiful weekend with plenty of things to keep everyone busy and having fun.
And now, a quick photo of the Zumba team on the stage:

Women, Households and Change (UNU, 1991, 241 pages) |
Determinants of women's employment in Chile: a life-history approach |
An analysis of national census data since 1907 and long-term labour trends in the city of Santiago provided background information for this study to improve the understanding of current generational differences in women's workforce behaviour. A life-history methodology, based on data from two age-cohorts selected from a cross-sectional sample of households, was implemented to assess the effect of demographic and socio-economic change and different patterns of family formation on women's labour-force participation.
Chile is a country with a low population density. The 1970 census gave a total population of 8.9 million, but the National Planning Office estimated under-enumeration by about 4.8 per cent, so it was probably in the order of 9.4 million. The last population census (1982) put the figure at approximately 11.3 million. Since 1970, the annual rate of population growth has been between 1.5 and 2 per cent, which is below the average both for Latin America and for countries with similar per capita incomes. This growth is almost exclusively the result of natural Increase.
Labour-force participation rates, which express the ratio between the population in the labour market and the total population of 12 years of age and over, are influenced by both demographic and socio-economic change. Three main demographic trends have shaped population growth in Chile. The first was a steady decline in mortality rates starting in 1907, which resulted in greater longevity, especially for women. The second was a proportionally greater decline in infant mortality rates, which followed much later. In 1960, Chile had one of the highest infant mortality rates in Latin America- 120.3 deaths per 1,000 live births. By 1970, the rate had dropped by 34 per cent; neonatal (less than 28 days) rates had fallen by 11 per cent and general mortality had decreased by 30 per cent. Between 1970 and 1980, infant mortality was further reduced by 60 per cent, the neonatal rate by 48 per cent, and general mortality by 23 per cent. The decline was fastest in the periods 1976-1980 and 1980-1983.
Third, there was a long-term drop in the birth-rate after the 1920s and 1930s, (with the exception of the period 1952-1960), which became particularly noticeable after 1970. These demographic characteristics have affected the structure and composition of both the working and the total population. For example, the increase in population growth in the 1950s partially explains the decline in the total labour force in the 1970s and early 1980s.
These changes have altered both the age distribution of the population and the proportion of the population in the labour force. While the total labour force declined during the second half of the 1960s, it has been increasing since 1970. The National Bureau of Statistics (INK) estimated it to be approximately 2.9 million in 1970 and 3.9 million in 1984. An examination of census data since 1907 shows that male and female labour-force participation has declined, although both series present long-term cyclical changes. Since the 1952 census, male participation has declined comparatively more than female participation, which the 1982 census shows to have increased since 1970 (Muchnik and Vial, 1987). Women's workforce participation in the period 1960 to 1982 was relatively stable, fluctuating between 20.9 and 26.5 per cent. At the end of 1984, 30.7 per cent (1,196,100) of the workforce were women. By mid-1985, their proportion had increased to 34.6 per cent, a rise of 3.9 per cent in one year. In spite of this and the widespread increase in women's labour-market participation in developing countries in recent decades, women in Latin America, including Chile, have had one of the lowest participation rates, although they have had at least as much, and often more, formal education and technical training than women in the rest of the third world.
In Chile, as in other Latin American countries, there has been a significant rural-urban migration, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s. The impact of migration on the participation of women in the urban labour market is not easy to identify because it occurred simultaneously with other changes like increased enrolment in secondary education. The number of girls coming in to look for work may have been counterbalanced by those who stayed on in school and so sought employment later, with the result that the effect on the participation rate was probably postponed until the 1970s.
Labour-force participation rates are also influenced by socio-economic factors including education, financial pressures, and modifications in role perceptions. There have been important changes in illiteracy rates, school attendance, and the average educational level in Chile. Illiteracy has decreased substantially since 1907, while secondary-school attendance has continued to increase since the educational reform in 1965. Since 1940, the literacy rates of men and women have been about the same, and no significant gender differences in terms of years of education are apparent in the 1982 census.
These trends in education affect labour-force participation as well as the age distribution of the economically active population. An important proportion of very young people (12 to 14 years of age) began to postpone their participation in the labour force by extending their schooling; after 1960, there was an even greater reduction in the proportion of working women in the 15-19 age-bracket. Increased female participation rates since 1977 could be associated with the higher wages expected to follow the rise in education levels, which is reflected in the greater number of women professionals and technicians.
A comparison between 1960 and 1982 census data shows a 25 per cent increase in the proportion of married women in the labour force. This is not so much due to a small observed increase in nuptiality rates, but rather to the higher proportion of married women who took up formal economic activity. It is also evident that the labour-force participation of married women with one to four children increased between 1961) and 1982. It is not yet clear whether this represents a long-term trend or is more a consequence of deteriorating economic conditions. Rosales (1979) suggests that in a recession the labour-force participation of low-income women increases, while that of medium- and high-income women decreases. The lower real wages and general unemployment force poorer women, including those with children, to work in order to maintain family income. Better-off women, on the other hand, are deterred from entering the workforce by the lower real wages and the higher opportunity cost of their time.
This is borne out by data which show that the workforce participation rates of poorer women increased from 18 to 22.4 per cent during 1975, a year of crisis characterized by rising and falling real incomes. The participation of middle- and high-income women decreased significantly at this time.
Another indicator of their increasing involvement in formal economic activity and of their need to work in difficult times - was their participation in government programmes like the Programa de Empleo Mínimo (PEM) (Minimum Employment Programme) and, later, in a special programme for heads of households, Programa de Ocupación para Jefes de Hogar (POJH). Women's high participation rates in these programmes was remarkable, especially as many of them had to cope simultaneously with child care. A survey of 10,000 PEM participants in June 1982 showed that 52.3 per cent of them were women (Cheyre and Ogrodnic, 1982). Seventy per cent were aged between 18 and 40, and so likely to be raising children, and 22 per cent were invalids and sick women who worked up to eight hours a day in the programme. While there are as yet no comparable studies of the POJH program, a newspaper survey of eight communities showed that a somewhat lower proportion of women also took part in this programme, in which they worked seven hours a day, frequently performing the same heavy duties as men (Buvinic, 1983).
According to consumer demand theories, individuals and families seek to maximize the relative benefits that they perceive that they derive from the consumption of goods, some of which have to be purchased and some of which are produced at home, and from leisure time. In order to obtain the market goods, members of the household must devote part of their time to work in order to generate income. This in turn implies less time for either leisure or the production of other goods or services in the home. This dilemma is particularly relevant in the case of housewives, as the production of domestic goods and services is very time-consuming and therefore competes with the allocation of time to market work. Cultural norms in countries like Chile usually assign household responsibilities such as child care, household maintenance, and food production to women.
It is well known that conventional definitions of women's activities consistently underestimate their economic functions as well as their productive contribution to society. Several features of women's work at home contribute to this. The partial and sporadic nature of women's income-generating activities, payments in kind, and the fact that many of their tasks (for example, child care, washing, or sewing) are carried out concurrently with regular home-keeping duties make it difficult to observe and measure the full extent of their economic activities. Sometimes their work is not even perceived as such by women themselves, and although household activities which do not generate income also have significant economic value, they are not usually included in national accounts or statistics.
When an individual does not participate in the labour market, it is possible to estimate his or her reservation wage, that is, the maximum wage at which the individual is not willing to work in the market. In other words, the reservation wage represents the value assigned to time spent in activities outside the market. The individual's willingness to participate in the labour market will depend therefore on the difference between the market wage and his or her reservation wage. For example, a housewife may seek employment if the wage she can earn is greater than the opportunity cost of her time. Because of their greater domestic responsibilities, Pardo (1983) has postulated that, other things being equal, the reservation wage for women is significantly higher than for men and tends to increase with the number of children.
Women's labour-force participation rate will vary according to marital status, number of children, and other factors including education, previous workforce experience and training, health, nutrition, and, of course, economic pressures and opportunities. Its duration is not merely a matter of length of employment in terms of years or hours per week, but also of disruption and discontinuity. Research into these matters has implications for the well-being of the women and their households as well as for the economic development of their country.

149 new homes plan for Thorpe Willoughby
9:02am Monday 24th September 2012 in News By Mark Stead, firstname.lastname@example.com
DEVELOPERS have unveiled plans for 149 new homes in a village near Selby .
The proposals for the housing estate, earmarked for land off Leeds Road, in Thorpe Willoughby, have been handed in to Selby District Council. The firm behind the scheme says it would give the area an economic boost.
The project, drawn up by Linden Homes North, would include 30 two-bedroom, 57 three-bedroom and 62 four-bedroom properties, most of which would be two storeys high, as well as access routes to the new estate. A decision on the proposals is expected to be made in December.
A planning application for the 4.96-hectare site close to Thorpe Willoughby Primary School said the loss of the farmland where the homes would be built would not be "detrimental to the area" and its open nature meant there would no "overlooking" or loss of privacy for other residents in the village.
"Businesses in the area will gain the benefit of extra customers and potential employees when the properties are occupied," said the report.
"Our development could only have a positive impact on business and investment in the area. Businesses will have the benefit of extra custom, with the future occupants of the proposed dwellings providing continuing workforces in the local area.
"Our proposal will be an attractive and socially viable addition."
The architects said local councillors and Thorpe Willoughby Parish Council had been consulted about the planning application for the site and leaflets had been issued to homes in the village and the surrounding area. They also said some of the new homes, if approved, will be made available as affordable housing.
The planning application states that the plan would "provide the opportunity to bring this site into beneficial use, providing a high-quality residential development which will complement the character of the area and contribute to meeting an established need for housing in the district."
