Dune House was designed by Jarmund/Vigsnæs Architects for Living Architecture. It is located close to the picturesque village of Thorpeness in Suffolk, on an idyllic spot on the very edge of the sea, nestled among rolling dunes. Step from the living room directly onto the beach and enjoy extraordinary panoramic views over the sea from the terraces, bedrooms and bathrooms on the upper floor.

Dune House

On the beach, just metres from the sea.

360-degree windows for all-round views of sea and landscape.

Large open-plan living area and kitchen, with full height retractable sliding windows.

Freshly caught local fish and shellfish to buy (when in season).

Aldeburgh's revered local pubs and restaurants a short walk away.

Village shop nearby.

For up to nine guests of all ages; dog friendly.

Five bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom and in-room bath.

The much-loved Dune House, continues to draw in new guests to the Suffolk coast, as well as commanding an almost cult following from our regulars. The design of the house suits all ages, families and friends, and creates an informal and relaxing environment to be in.

Guests enter the ground floor via an inclined concrete walkway semi-submerged into the dunes. Large windows on all sides, many of which can be slid open to create an indoor/outdoor space, give access to the sea just metres away. Guests can take an early morning swim, jog along the beach or just have their morning coffee watching the sun reflect off the sea. This glorious setting is also perfect for bringing your architecture/beach-loving dog along.

With kitchen, dining and sitting room all being within one extensive open plan space, guests can enjoy the freedom the house brings, and when the nights get cooler they can gather around the open fire, read, chat and relax. To the rear of the kitchen a small hidden room can be used either as a single guest bedroom, or for lazy afternoon naps.

Stairs lead up to a first-floor library space, with access to a small semi enclosed external terrace, giving further views out to sea. Off the library space are four bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and shower. The timber-lined bedrooms all have bath tubs, so guests can bathe whilst taking in glimpses of the sea or the meadows which surround the house at the rear.

Dune House provides the ultimate experience in seaside living; from watching the sun rise over the sea from the comfort of your bed, to strolling along the shore to buy freshly caught fish for dinner.


Breast cancer is widely and effectively treated with endocrine treatment. However, in many disease cases the tumours will eventually progress into an estrogen-independent and therapy-resistant phenotype

Seven genes including AKT1, AKT2, BCAR1, BCAR2, BCAR3, EGFR2 and GRB7 have been shown to directly underlie estrogen independence in MCF7A human breast cancer cells. This cell line is part of a panel of 4 cell lines (Cat No 154636-154638, 154643) which have been transfected with these genes, plus the parental (Cat No 154546)

These cell lines are a powerful tool for studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms of breast tumour progression, therapy resistance and to test the effectiveness of novel drugs to combat different modes of anti-estrogen insensitivity

Production Details

Full length AKT1 cDNA was introduced in the estrogen-dependent MCF7A cell line by transfection with lipofectamine

WILLMAR -- Blood tests by the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension show that Paul Anthony Wickenhauser was over the legal alcohol limit for driving when he allegedly caused the triple fatal motor vehicle crash Aug. 17 east of Willmar.

According to County Attorney Jenna Fischer, the BCA tests showed a 0.09 blood-alcohol content in the blood drawn from Wickenhauser after the crash. The results have prompted the county attorney's office to file four additional felony criminal vehicular operation charges against the 21-year-old Cokato man.

Fischer said she personally called the lab supervisor at the BCA this week, asking that the sample be tested quickly.

"We know now, he was under the influence and over the limit," she said Friday morning.

The additional charges were added late Thursday to the original four criminal vehicular homicide and injury charges, plus a misdemeanor for open bottle, filed against Wickenhauser in Kandiyohi County District Court.

Wickenhauser is charged for causing the crash, along Highway 12 near the intersection with County Road 127, that killed Marta Stoffers, 68, of Atwater, her daughter-in-law, Michelle Hoffman, 40, of Eden Prairie, and Hoffman's 8-year-old daughter Julia and injured Hoffman's 5-year-old son, Jason Hoffman.

The young man posted bail earlier this week and is required to submit to electronic alcohol monitoring and not allowed to enter bars or liquor stores on conditional release. His next court date is scheduled for Nov. 19.

The test results change the evidence for the prosecution, as the county attorney's office will not have to prove negligence, based on the test over the 0.08 legal limit, Fischer said. They now simply have to prove that Wickenhauser caused the crash. They have a witness and Wickenhauser's admission to law enforcement that he crossed the center line of the highway and caused the Stoffer vehicle to attempt evasive action to avoid his vehicle.


[Research on the atomic emission spectroscopy of atmospheric pressure plasma process].
In the reaction of the atmospheric pressure plasma process, the heat stable process of the atmospheric pressure plasma jet has a direct impact on the removal rate, CF4 is the provider of active F* atom, O2 is important auxiliary gas, and they play an important role in the process. In order to research the rule of the concentration of the 3 parameters upon the atmospheric pressure plasma processing, the atmospheric pressure plasma jet was used for processing and the spectrometer was used to monitor the changes in the process. The experiment indicates that: when the heat is stable, the concentration of the active F* atom essentially remains unchanged; with increasing the concentration of gas CF4, the spectrum of the active F* atom has self-absorption phenomena, so using the atomic emission spectroscopy method to monitor the changes in the concentration of active F* atom generated by CF4 is not completely exact; because O2 can easily react with the dissociation product of CF4, which inhibits the compound of the active F* atom, so in a certain range with increasing the concentration of gas O2, the concentration of the active F* atom becomes strong.

And difficult to overcome

“In Christianity, Mohammedanism, and Judaism, the personality of the divinity is taught to be final—which makes it comparatively difficult for the members of these communions to understand how one may go beyond the limitations of their own anthrpomorphic divinity. The result has been, on the one hand, a general obfuscation of the symbols, and on the other, a god-ridden bigotry such as is unmatched elsewhere in the history of religion.” – Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces


Rapid detection of coronary artery stenoses with real-time perfusion echocardiography during regadenoson stress.
Real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography permits the detection of myocardial perfusion abnormalities during stress echocardiography, which may improve the accuracy of the test in detecting coronary artery stenoses. We hypothesized that this technique could be used after a bolus injection of the selective A2A receptor agonist regadenoson to rapidly and safely detect coronary artery stenoses. In 100 patients referred for quantitative coronary angiography, real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography was performed during a continuous intravenous infusion of 3% Definity at baseline and at 2-minute intervals for up to 6 minutes after a regadenoson bolus injection (400 μg). Myocardial perfusion was assessed by examination of myocardial contrast replenishment after brief high mechanical index impulses. A perfusion defect was defined as a delay (>2 seconds) in myocardial contrast replenishment in 2 contiguous segments. Wall motion was also analyzed. The overall sensitivity/specificity/accuracy for myocardial perfusion analysis in detecting a >50% diameter stenosis was 80%/74%/78%, whereas for wall motion analysis it was 60%/72%/66% (P<0.001 for differences in sensitivity). Sensitivity for myocardial perfusion analysis was highest on images obtained during the first 2 minutes after regadenoson bolus (P<0.001 compared with wall motion), whereas wall motion sensitivity was highest at the 4-to-6-minute period after the bolus. No significant side effects occurred after regadenoson bolus injection. Regadenoson real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography appears to be a feasible, safe, and rapid noninvasive method for the detection of significant coronary artery stenoses.

Q:

HTTP Error 500.19 Can't change IIS permisssions

The Issue
I have cloned down an exiting web forms project and when I try to build, I get the error;

HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
  The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.

Below this error, the "Detailed Error Information:" section provided a config file path that seems to point to the correct place, accept to the machine of the previous contributor of the solution.

Below is the approach I took to try resolving this issue
Initially, from this, I tried finding out where this incorrect file path is coming from but came across nothing even vaguely relative so I tried googling the error itself.
I came across this question:
How do I resolve "HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error" on IIS7.0
An answer provided by Bruce mentioned to:

"Check the directory and see if that user has appropriate rights to
  it".

In an attempt to do this, I had a quick google and same across the following question: The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid error
From intermension's answer, I gathered that it was "ApplicationPoolIdentity" that was not assigned the correct permissions so in ettempting to resolve this, I visited the following link. IIS7 Permissions Overview - ApplicationPoolIdentity
I followed Jon Adams' steps successfully as shown here:

This was unsuccessful and I'm unsure of where to go now.
Thank in advance! :)

A:

You can follow there steps:

Check which application pool your website is using

Change it to use ApplicationPoolIdentity if it is not.
Go to your website directory and search for Application Pool Identity user which has format IIS AppPool{AppPool Name} e.g. IIS AppPool\DefaultWebsite and give it read permissions

In IIS Manager select your website in the left pane and then in right pane double click the HandlerMappings icon to ensure that handlers list show up.

A wave of apprehension and anguish swept the Republican Party on Thursday, with many GOP leaders alarmed by Donald Trump’s refusal to accept the outcome of the election and concluding that it is probably too late to salvage his flailing presidential campaign.

As the Republican nominee reeled from a turbulent performance in the final debate here in Las Vegas, his party’s embattled senators and House members scrambled to protect their seats and preserve the GOP’s congressional majorities against what Republicans privately acknowledge could be a landslide victory for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

With less than three weeks until the election, the Republican Party is in a state of historic turmoil, encapsulated by Trump’s extraordinary debate declaration that he would leave the nation in “suspense” about whether he would recognize the results from an election he has claimed will be “rigged” or even “stolen.”

The immediate responses from GOP officials were divergent and vague, with no clear strategy on how to handle Trump’s threat. The candidate was defiant and would not back away from his position, telling a roaring crowd Thursday in Ohio that he would accept the results “if I win” — and reserving his right to legally challenge the results should he fall short.

For seasoned Republicans who have watched Trump warily as a general-election candidate, the aftermath of Wednesday’s debate brought a feeling of finality.

Sen. John McCain Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) joined the cavalcade of Republicans withdrawing their support for Trump. “There are no excuses for Donald Trump’s offensive and demeaning comments in the just released video; no woman should ever be victimized by this kind of inappropriate behavior. He alone bears the burden of his conduct and alone should suffer the consequences,” McCain said in a statement. Susan Walsh/AP Buy Photo Wait 1 second to continue.

“The campaign is over,” said Steve Schmidt, a Trump critic and former senior strategist on George W. Bush’s and John McCain’s presidential campaigns.

Calling a refusal to accept the election results “disqualifying,” Schmidt added: “The question is, how close will Clinton get to 400 electoral votes? She’ll be north of 350, and she’s trending towards 400 — and the trend line is taking place in very red states like Georgia, Texas and Arizona.”

Clinton and Trump appeared together and traded jabs in delivering mostly lighthearted roasts Thursday night at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner, a white-tie gala benefiting Catholic charities. The candidates used searing humor to taunt each other, reflecting the personal animus on display in the debates. Trump’s routine was at times unsettling, drawing some rare boos from the audience. Held at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York, the dinner is a traditional event on the calendar for presidential nominees.

Meanwhile, top Democrats fanned out to battleground states on Thursday to hammer Trump for what they described as an unprecedented attack on the country’s political system and to attempt to yoke Trump to Republican candidates down the ballot.

Campaigning in Miami, President Obama said Trump’s doubts about the election outcome are “not a joking matter. That is dangerous.”

The president eviscerated Republicans who have stood by Trump, singling out Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who called Trump “a dangerous con artist” and condemned his more controversial comments during the GOP primaries but now plans to vote for him.

On Oct. 20 in Miami Gardens, Fla., President Obama said the fact that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump refused to say during the final debate whether he would accept the result of the election “is not a joking matter.” (The Washington Post)

“Marco just seems to care about hanging on to his job,” Obama said, calling the senator’s positioning “the height of cynicism.”

And in Arizona, where polls show an unexpectedly tight presidential race, first lady Michelle Obama said Trump “is threatening the very idea of America itself” by suggesting he would not honor the election results.

“You do not keep American democracy ‘in suspense,’ ” Obama said in Phoenix.

Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, Clinton’s vice-presidential running mate, held a rally at a downtown Charlotte brewery, where he said Trump’s claims of a “rigged” election reminded him of the Third World politicking he had seen as a young missionary in Honduras.

“The bigger we can win by, the harder it is for him to whine and have anyone believe him,” Kaine said, trying to galvanize supporters on the first day of early voting in North Carolina.

On the debate stage, Trump amplified what he had been saying for weeks at his rallies: that the election is “rigged.” Questioned directly as to whether he would accept the results should Clinton prevail, Trump said, “I’ll keep you in suspense.”

Clinton called Trump’s answer “horrifying,” both in the debate and to reporters overnight on her flight home to New York.

Trump’s advisers and surrogates struggled to explain the candidate’s position. Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said it was too early to determine whether voting irregularities could make the difference between winning and losing. She and other Trump backers drew a parallel to then-Vice President Al Gore’s concession call to then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush, which he later withdrew as he awaited a recount in Florida.

“I’m going to keep reminding everybody about the 2000 election when Al Gore said he would accept the results of the election and then did not,” Conway said. “He retracted his concession.”

[Inside Donald Trump’s echo chamber of conspiracies, grievances and vitriol]

Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, contended that Trump and the party would stand by the results unless the margin is small enough to warrant a recount or legal challenges. Priebus said Trump is merely preserving flexibility in the event of a contested result.

“All he’s saying is, ‘Look, I’m not going to forgo my right to a recount in a close election,’ ” Priebus said. “We accept the results as long as we’re not talking about a few votes where it actually matters. I know him. I know where his head’s at. . . . I promise you, that’s all this is.”

Other Trump surrogates took a different interpretation. Keith Kellogg, a retired Army lieutenant general, accused the media of “splitting hairs” and insisted that Trump was “not threatening democratic norms,” while former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani argued that any Republican would be “stupid” to accept the integrity of results before they are known.

“Suppose she wins Pennsylvania by 50 votes,” Giuliani said. He speculated, without evidence, that Democrats would “steal a lot more than 50 votes in Philadelphia. I guarantee you of that. And I’ll tell you how they will do it — they’ll bus people in who will vote dead people’s names four, five, six times . . . or have people in Philadelphia paid to vote three, four and five times.”

Democrats expressed dismay that the Republican nominee and his backers were advancing the idea of widespread voter fraud.

“He is just trying to find an excuse for the fact that he’s going to lose, and perhaps the fact that he’s going to lose to the first woman president stings a little sharper than it might otherwise,” said Jennifer Palmieri, the Clinton campaign’s communications director.

Prominent Republican senators in tough reelection bids distanced themselves from Trump’s posture. “Donald Trump needs to accept the outcome,” Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) said in a statement.

McCain (Ariz.), who lost to Obama eight years ago, said in a statement: “I didn’t like the outcome of the 2008 election. But I had a duty to concede. A concession isn’t just an act of graciousness. It is an act of respect for the will of the American people.”

As of Thursday afternoon, neither House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) nor Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) had offered any comment, underscoring the party’s unease with its own nominee and the political dangers of tangling with him.

[Election officials, Clinton team brace for fallout from Trump’s ‘rigged’ claims]

Benjamin L. Ginsberg, a lawyer at Jones Day who has been national counsel for several Republican presidential campaigns, said Trump’s stance puts the party in “quite a difficult position.”

“There will be Republican candidates who are winning by narrow margins and losing by narrow margins,” Ginsberg said. “The party as a whole has a collective interest in having the results upheld.”

Republican pollster Whit Ayres said that at the Las Vegas debate, Trump “blew his last chance to turn it around.” But, he said, “I am not convinced that the rest of the party will have as bad a night [on Election Day] as Donald Trump is going to have, because the Trump brand is so distinct from the Republican brand.”

Escalating the Republican angst was Trump’s rally Thursday in Delaware, Ohio, where he advanced conspiracies swirling around far-right websites about Clinton. He referred to reports that Democratic operatives with no direct connection to the Clinton campaign hired people to violently disrupt Trump events.

“This criminal behavior that violates centuries of tradition of peaceful democratic elections, a campaign like Clinton’s that will incite violence is truly a campaign that will do anything to win,” Trump said, going on to call Clinton “a candidate who is truly capable of anything, including voter fraud.”

Trump also mentioned an email, which surfaced on WikiLeaks through an illegal hack that U.S. authorities blame on the Russian government, in which interim Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile seemed to suggest to the Clinton team that she had knowledge of a question that would come up in a primary forum earlier this year. While Brazile has denied that CNN provided any questions in advance, Trump called her actions “cheating at the highest level.”

Even as his party loses faith, Trump proclaimed that he was poised for victory.

“Bottom line, we’re going to win,” he told the boisterous Ohio crowd. “We’re going to win. We’re going to win so big. We’re going to win so big.”

Army veteran pleads not guilty in anthem assault on teen

Curt James Brockway is accused of throwing a 13-year-old to the ground for not taking off a hat during the national anthem. (Source: Montana Department of Corrections)

SUPERIOR, Mont. (AP) — An Army veteran pleaded not guilty Wednesday to assaulting a 13-year-old boy who the suspect said refused to remove his hat during the national anthem at a rodeo in Montana.

Attorney Lance Jasper has told the Missoulian that defendant Curt Brockway, who suffered a traumatic brain injury from an automobile crash while he was stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington, believed he was doing what President Donald Trump wanted him to do.

"His commander in chief is telling people that if they kneel, they should be fired, or if they burn a flag, they should be punished," Jasper said. "He certainly didn't understand it was a crime."

Jasper is seeking a mental health evaluation for Brockway, 39, of Superior, Montana.

Brockway told investigators the boy cursed at him when he asked him to remove his hat at the Aug. 3 rodeo.

Witnesses have said Brockway picked the boy up by his neck and slammed him to the ground. The boy suffered a skull fracture, court records said.

Brockway remains free without bond. His next hearing is Oct. 23.

Jasper did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment on Wednesday.

This month marks 75 years since the Bretton Woods conference that designed the post-war international financial system.

Today the institutions designed at Bretton Woods – the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank – face a crisis of legitimacy.

Our international system has concentrated power in the hands of an international elite. Individuals, communities, and even nation states have been made increasingly powerless.

It isn’t working for the Western world, where stagnant wages have helped feed the rise of the racist right. And it isn’t working for the developing world, whose wealth is plundered by multinational corporations or stashed in Western banks.

It isn’t just the IMF and World Bank. The World Trade Organisation faces its own problems, including the USA’s blocking of appointments to its appellate body.

And if we look at the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change, it will be the 25th Conference of the Parties meeting this year: can anyone claim progress on climate change has been sufficient since then, as the COP process still seeks a robust enforcement mechanism to review countries’ pledges, risking reaching three degrees of warming by 2100?

I spoke at Labour Party conference last year about how, just as at Bretton Woods in 1944, there is an urgent need to work out if the current international institutions can cope with today’s threats of climate change, rampant global inequality and escalating trade disputes between major economies.

The starting point isn’t a promising one.

Intertwined with the challenge of climate change is the rise of the power of multinational corporations, including many of the world’s worst emitters of greenhouse gases.

But our international order has failed to rise to the challenge of regulating and restraining the force of transnational corporations.

Often the work of the IMF, the World Bank, and others has diminished people power – contributing to a loss of political agency – especially in the Global South.

We are witnessing the latest wielding of that power, with the grotesque ‘gentleman’s agreement’ that the IMF and World Bank will be led by a European and an American producing the bizarre spectacle of George Osborne, architect of UK austerity, sticking his hand up to be the next Managing Director of the IMF.

And there are the structural adjustment policies which have forced privatisation, deregulation, and fiscal consolidation. The policies that led Julius Nyerere, President of Tanzania, to ask: “When did the IMF become an International Ministry of Finance?”

So I’ve convened this weekend’s International Social Forum as our contribution to discussing what needs to change.

Our speakers, including Dilma Rousseff, Jayati Ghosh, Asad Rehman, Daniela Gabor, Ann Pettifor, Rafeef Ziadah and Richard Kozul-Wright, will discuss the climate emergency, international finance, the displacement of people and the threat of trade wars, before we break out into workshops to hear from our hundreds of participants.

The International Social Forum will kickstart a year of discussions about the programme of reform which is needed, leading to suggestions for the kind of international cooperation that we want to see and which Labour will commit to when in government.

Starting with what we in the Labour Party can do ourselves, our frontbench spokespeople have sketched out a direction of travel.

I have said that as part of our domestic Green Industrial Revolution, technologies developed in the UK for the climate transition must be made available free or cheap to the Global South.

We are consulting with tax experts on how in government we might ensure fair taxation of multinationals, so that multinationals are taxed in a way that reflects where economic activity takes place and value is created.

My friend and Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has committed to supporting efforts to create a legally binding Treaty on Business and Human Rights, going beyond existing voluntary principles.

I have said, with Dan Carden, our Shadow Secretary of State for International Development, we will introduce an Overseas Loan Transparency Act, requiring loans to foreign governments to be registered if they are to be enforced in UK courts.

But we know that getting to the heart of the problem will need real international cooperation.

One of our advisors, Joseph Stiglitz, wrote a report in 2009 on reforming the international monetary and financial system, calling for the creation of a Global Economic Coordination Council at the level of the UN General Assembly and the Security Council, replacing the unrepresentative G20.

Those of us who aspire to a different order will need to reshape our international settlement in a less top-down way than what we have seen before.

Those who push back against the current form of neoliberal globalisation are sometimes painted as reactionary nationalists.

The implication is that there can be only two sides: defenders of existing right-wing globalisation and xenophobic nationalists.

But we have to reject this. I believe and assert that “Another Internationalism is Possible.”

We need, in the words of Angela Davis, “an internationalist framework within which the ongoing work to dismantle structures of racism, heteropatriarchy, and economic injustice … can become more enduring and more meaningful.”

An internationalism that sees the world as it is, and sets out unflinchingly to change it. A socialist internationalism.

At the 1955 Bandung Conference, a key moment in the history of decolonisation, the first Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru said: “We are thinking and acting in terms of a past age.”

Those words ring true today.

We are still thinking and acting as if we have not seen the neoliberal destruction of economies and societies that has occurred in the last 40 years, or as if we haven’t just felt the hottest June ever on record.

We need, in Nehru’s words, to look “at the world as it is today.”

That is the task for all of us this weekend and throughout the forthcoming period.


Q:

Ansible parses my YML comment and mistake it with k=v

In this code block running ansible 2.9.6:
// System/group_vars/all/vars.yml
---

# AWS S3
# User Ansible
# Permissions put/get on arn:aws:s3:::snap/backup-db/*
# Plus d'infos: https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?region=eu-west-2#/users/ansible?section=permissions
s3_access_key: {{ lookup('aws_ssm', '/iam/ansible/access-key', region='eu-west-2', aws_access_key=aws_access_key, aws_secret_key=aws_secret_key) }}

Gives the following error:
ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.
  found unacceptable key (unhashable type: 'AnsibleMapping')

The error appears to be in 'System/group_vars/all/vars.yml': line 32, column 63, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

# Plus d'infos: https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?region=eu-west-2
                                                              ^ here

There appears to be both 'k=v' shorthand syntax and YAML in this task. Only one syntax may be used.
We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they
start a value. For instance:

    with_items:
      - {{ foo }}

Should be written as:

    with_items:
      - "{{ foo }}"

It thinks that region=eu-west-2 is a key value that is mixed with YML syntax.
What can I do to avoid Ansible throwing this wrongful error since it's in a YML comment ?
Thank you :)

A:

It was a stupid mistake caused by a line right after this one:
# Plus d'infos: https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?region=eu-west-2#/users/ansible?section=permissions
s3_access_key: {{ lookup('aws_ssm', '/iam/ansible/access-key', region='eu-west-2', aws_access_key=aws_access_key, aws_secret_key=aws_secret_key) }}

Should be:
# Plus d'infos: https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?region=eu-west-2#/users/ansible?section=permissions
s3_access_key: "{{ lookup('aws_ssm', '/iam/ansible/access-key', region='eu-west-2', aws_access_key=aws_access_key, aws_secret_key=aws_secret_key) }}"

note the quotes around the "{{ lookup }}". The error message was trying to tell me so at the very last part of the error ("might be an issue with
missing quotes") I just was focused on why my comment was parsed and interpreted as key=value

Portrayed by:

Mini Profile:

Born 12 July 1947 to Henry and Linda Black, Frank Black has a unique and disturbing ability which can take him inside the mind of a killer. His gift is also his curse. As an FBI agent specializing in hunting down serial killers, Black was one of the Bureau's most effective detectives. Yet his immersion into the vilest recesses of the human soul took him too close to the edge. A loving husband and father, Frank could no longer allow the shadow of evil come between him and his family. He left the FBI and settled in Seattle with his wife and young daughter. Frank however, couldn't leave the horror behind. As the millennium approaches, so will the ultimate battle between good and evil as foretold by ancient prophecies. Frank is recruited by the Millennium Group, an underground organization dedicated to battling the forces of darkness.

Portrayed by:

Mini Profile:

A devoted mother to Jordan (Brittany Tiplady), Catherine Black was also a clinical social worker who counselled crime victims. This profession compelled her to confront many of the same dark forces as Frank. Yet Catherine knew she must never show any fear, no matter how appalling the evil. For if she did, Frank would ignore his mission, and dedicate himself to protecting his family. Catherine was willing to sacrifice her own peace of mind - and in the end even her safety - for the safety of us all. She was infected with a deadly virus that is mysteriously connected to the Millennium Group. Offered a vaccine for the virus she refused, insisting it be used to protect her daughter instead.

Portrayed by:

Mini Profile:

Jordan, daughter of Frank and Catherine, represents the light in the dark world that Frank works. She is what's good - and why Frank must catch the "bad man" to protect her. Jordan must eventually come to terms with a terrible loss, while learning to deal with her own mysterious gift - one that offers her visions into the dark world that her father investigates.

Portrayed by:

Mini Profile:

Emma Hollis is a young FBI agent that Frank has been paired up with as he returned to the FBI in Millennium's Season Three. Emma is very much aware of Frank's reputation and eager to prove her worth as an investigator. Intrigued by Frank's abilities as an investigator she strives to learn as much from him as she can, while Frank also learns to recognize her own strengths as an FBI agent.

The respected, independent, ambitious young Bureau Agent formed a close relationship with Frank Black -- and then turned her back on him to join the Millennium Group, which had agreed to cure her father of Alzheimer's.

Special Agent Emma Hollis appeared in 22 episodes of the Millennium TV Series.

Here are a few things to avoid while shed hunting.

Searching for fallen antlers is a fun, but a challenging way to spend time outdoors during the spring after deer season. Every year I hear people say, “I just can’t find any!”

So, why do so many people struggle to find shed antlers? There are a variety of reasons, most of which are nothing more than bad habits. By eliminating these, you’ll increase your odds finding more sheds significantly.

Walking too fast

I see this one all the time and it’s a common mistake. You want to cover a lot of ground as quickly as you can, but speed and shed hunting often don’t mix. In my experience, it often leads to missed antlers. It amazes me every year how many antlers I find on a second or even a third pass through a spot.

If you never find anything, it may be time to re-evaluate how fast you’re walking and slow things down significantly. Every person is different, so you just have to be willing to put in the time and effort to find a speed that works for you.

Tunnel vision

This is something I struggled with for years and still do from time to time. It’s a bad habit that’s especially easy to pick up in open areas and that’s looking too far ahead of where you’re walking. While you can spot antlers from quite a ways off, especially in more western and open states, you can also miss antlers sitting at your feet.

It’s always amazing how many antlers I don’t see until I’m standing right on top of them. My second antler this year was a 4-point side I didn’t see until I nearly stepped on it. In my experience, this is how I find the majority of my antlers—within a 10-15 foot circle of where I’m standing.

One thing I did that helped me stop looking too far ahead was deciding to leave my binoculars at home until I developed a little more discipline. It forced me to search the area immediately at my feet instead of constantly glassing 40-50 yards out.

Also, don’t forget to stop and look behind you as often as possible. Sometimes it just takes a different angle or lighting to reveal a well-hidden antler.

Going out in poor conditions

Sure, hiking on a bright, sunny spring day is more fun, but this is the absolute worst time to shed hunt. The sun provides too much contrast and produces shadows that can fool the eye. I compare it to trying to lace up a pair of white tennis shoes on a sunny day. It’s a bit blinding. I’m not saying you can’t find antlers on a sunny day; I’ve done it. However, it’s significantly harder and you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage if these are the only times you go out.

My success rate has gone up since I started focusing on cloudy or overcast days that cut down the contrast. Even better is a rainy day because it mats down the vegetation and leaf litter and makes the antlers stand out better. Wet antlers also have a sheen to them that’s like nothing else in the woods.

Not looking in the right place

Your shed hunting and deer hunting approaches are going to be different. Those rub lines and scrapes the deer were all over during the season aren’t necessarily where the sheds are going to be.

A buck is concerned with two things after the rut: food sources and recovering from the stress of breeding season. Your main focus should be feeding areas, bedding areas and the trails that connect the two.

In a way, you have to scout the deer all over again for sheds. The easiest way to do that is by utilizing your trail cameras to determine where the bucks are hanging out in the late season when the rut is over and then focus your search there.

Not having a plan

This is what dooms the majority of shed hunters. They go out and try to cover every square inch of their hunting property in a single hike while making many of the mistakes I’ve outlined above. But you can’t just walk through the woods at random and hope to fill your pickup bed with monster antlers. You have to have a plan and then you have to stick to it.

You have to know what areas you’re searching and you have to make the effort to search them methodically and thoroughly. I’ve spent hours searching just one field before. Figure out the spot you want to search before you head out and then take the time to grid-search it properly.

Not putting in the time and effort

This last one is big. You can’t just go for one or two hikes a year and hope to be a master shed hunter. It’s a lot like hunting the deer itself, you have to put in the time and effort. That means countless hours and miles of hiking. It means wearing out your boots and being incredibly patient.

I’ll admit, though, some people are just born naturals. But for most of us, it’s usually a long, difficult learning process.

Shed hunting is a fun and rewarding way to spend each spring in the outdoors. Hopefully these tips on things to avoid will help you have more success this spring. Happy hiking!

NEXT: 7 SHED HUNTING TIPS FOR THOSE WHO JUST CAN’T SEEM TO FIND THEM

The post These 6 Shed Hunting Mistakes Might Explain Why You Never Find Anything appeared first on Wide Open Spaces.


Council divided over influx of high-density on Base Line

The empty lot left by the former city Strawberry Patch, located on the southeast corner of Base Line Road and Towne Avenue, is going the way of many other vacant spaces along the Base Line corridor.

The Claremont City Council on Tuesday cast a divided 3-2 vote to change the zoning designation of a portion of the 6-acre lot to allow the construction of a 95-unit townhome complex across the entire property despite early discussions of adding a commercial component in the corner of the empty space.

The City Ventures, LLC development will feature two and three-story buildings outfitted with solar panels. Two open spaces, one with a pool, will also be included in the design.

After several years of dispute over the western portion of the land’s mixed-use designation, local stakeholders, including officials from The Webb Schools—located across the street from the proposed development—were pleased to see the decision change in favor of an all residential project.

“I get nervous of the traffic flow,” said Webb’s Head of Schools Taylor Stockdale. “We have a number of students...and they ride their bikes, they go down to the Village, hang out at restaurants, etc. Increasing the volume of traffic with some kind of retail center makes me very nervous from a safety standpoint.”

Safety was a major concern for Mayor Opanyi Nasiali, who questioned the decision to leave the only accessway in and out of the development on Base Line Road without a traffic signal.

“People are going to be forced to come out of this project and have to make a left turn on Base Line when there’s traffic going westbound to the freeway in the mornings. That could be difficult, you could be there for quite a while,” Mayor Opanyi said.

Adding a traffic light to that access point was thoroughly vetted as part of a traffic analysis in June 2013, according to City Engineer Loretta Mustafa. However, it was determined, based on ample gaps in traffic, that the traffic light would not be necessary. Choosing to go against that finding and place a light at the access point anyway could result in legal troubles for the city, she asserted.

“The reason we put in a signal in the first place is because we find it’s not a safe situation for people getting out of that place,” Ms. Mustafa said. “If a traffic accident happens because of that signal, and it’s been known that they can occur if you have an unwarranted signal, then the city finds itself in a liability situation.”

In addition to his concerns over traffic flow and safety, Mayor Nasiali’s decision to ultimately oppose the project was because of the zone change.

The zoning designation for many of the vacancies along Base Line Road were evaluated by city council members and commissioners as part of the city’s comprehensive general plan update in 2005-2006. As part of that update, it was determined the western portion of the Strawberry Patch site be designated as mixed-use while the eastern portion would be strictly residential.

City officials and residents continue to dispute the decision. Residents of the adjacent neighborhood cited traffic, safety and unsightliness among their top concerns. In addition, overhead power lines significantly hamper the site along with constraints placed on development of the property by the electric company, Caltrans and fire department regulations. With required setbacks, the developer would not be allowed to place commercial buildings on the northeast corner of the property as desired. And with the depressed freeway onramp and offramp along with the restriction of freeway signs in that area, it would be difficult for retail to be successful, claimed Brian Desatnik, director of community development.

Mayor Nasiali maintained his hesitance to go against the original plan for the space.

“If we implement this change we are in effect locking the door and throwing away the key,” he said. “I hate to hasten in to make a major change like this knowing we have limited land.”

Mr. Nasiali wasn’t the only one questioning the recent influx of high-density development in vacant spaces along Base Line Road. Councilmember Sam Pedroza noted his reluctance to support high density projects moving forward, but once again acknowledged the city’s general plan, which had spelled out long ago that high density development would be allowed at these sites.

“The die is cast,” Mr. Pedroza said.

Councilmember Corey Calaycay stood his ground, maintaining his previous stance to vote against the building of any more three-story complexes and his opposition of high-density development. He pointed out that the general plan’s vision for Base Line Road includes preserving “the open feeling on these large lights, maintain historic setback lines and ensure that home editions or new construction respect the dominant arch styles and scale.”

Mr. Calaycay joined the mayor in opposing the project, not because he was against making the entire space a residential development, but because he would rather the new zoning designation match that of the residential dwellings already housed in the area.

“If I’m going to have to concede to a zone change I’d sooner concede to a zone change that fits better with this neighborhood and also takes into account what my residents are telling me about lower density development,” he said.

Council approves south Claremont complex

Following the planning commission’s preliminary review of a proposal for 2456 N. Forbes Avenue last week, the Claremont City Council on Tuesday gave its approval to the final tract map for another development at Vista Drive and Indian Hill.

The vacant 1.75-acre lot will soon be filled with 21 detached, single-family homes. Each will range from 1,340-square feet in size with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths to 1,760 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths.

Residents have been actively involved in the process since The Olson Company Housing, LLC first brought plans forward for a preliminary hearing in 2012. The final design is the result of multiple reviews and community meetings initiated by the developer in response to public backlash. Three community meetings were held following the initial review, at which time the development plan was completely reworked with community input. The developer scratched initial plans to rezone the lot and reworked the design, rearranging the structures to make them face outward instead of in towards each other, making the development more harmonious with the adjacent Wheeler Park neighborhood.

The developer also addressed safety concerns with the housing project so close to the constantly bustling Indian Hill Boulevard. A block wall, with a maximum height of 8 feet, has been added along Indian Hill Boulevard with landscaping to serve as a buffer between the sidewalk and the wall. Additionally, the bus stop currently adjacent to the lot will be shifted 40 feet to the south for pedestrian safety. A gate has already gone up around the site, as the developer begins grading the land.

Cleaning Up Dirty Fracking Water

Fracking flowback--that doesn't sound like something you want seeping into your drinking water! This dangerous combination of bacteria and other pollutants is a result of natural gas fracking, and without intervention, it might make its way into your faucet.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison say their innovation, called Aquamost, a cost effective and environmentally friendly system that sanitizes wastewater contaminated by fracking.

Previous wastewater treatment systems used peroxide, but this poses harm to both people and the environment. The AquaMost system uses electrically charged titanium plates and ultraviolet lights to kill bacteria, making the process entirely chemical-free.

The creators of AquaMost hope to commercialize their system and take advantage of what could become a billion-dollar fracking industry. Additionally, fracking is an extremely water intensive process, but there is no federal regulation of it.

Healthcare curriculum influences on stigma towards mental illness: Core psychiatry course impact on pharmacy, nursing and social work student attitudes.
Attitudes towards disclosure of a psychiatric diagnosis and directed at persons with mental illness have represented negativity and stigma. The purpose of this study was to identify stigma towards mental illness among health profession students in pharmacy, nursing, and social work programs, and identify if primary psychiatric coursework in each curriculum has an impact on students' perceptions. Pharmacy, nursing and social work students were surveyed pre- and post-primary didactic psychiatry coursework (pre-course = 154 total; 95 pharmacy, 47 nursing, 12 social work; post-course = 128 total; 79 pharmacy, 38 nursing, and 11 social work) using the Opening Minds Scale for Health Care Providers (OMS-HC). The OMS-HC contains 12-questions evaluated on a five-point Likert scale ranging from 12 to 60 points, with lower scores indicating less stigma towards mental illness. Student results were compared to the large sample of healthcare student and provider responses used in validating the OMS-HC survey tool. Students' pre-course mean score on the OMS-HC was 30.6 ± 5.47 (pharmacy = 30.9, nursing = 31, social work = 26.3) and post-course mean score was 31.05 ± 6.82 (pharmacy = 32.24, nursing = 29.89, social work = 26.55). These scores illustrate negative stigma among students and also are similar to existing research identifying a disparity among the healthcare professions. Coursework did not appear to improve stigma toward mental illness. The current education of healthcare providers does not appear to change students' stigma, suggesting educational gaps requiring attention.


Activation of afferent renal nerves by intrarenal bradykinin in conscious rats.
Bradykinin was infused intravenously and into the right renal artery of conscious rats that were chronically instrumented with catheters and miniaturized pulsed-Doppler flow probes. The effects on regional hemodynamics were compared with those in animals in which the infused kidney was denervated as well as in animals anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium. In intact rats bradykinin (1 microgram/min) caused an immediate increase in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP, 27 +/- 4 mmHg), heart rate (HR, 67 +/- 11 beats/min), mesenteric resistance (MR, 32 +/- 10%), and both right (RRR, 42 +/- 14%) and left renal resistance (LRR 21 +/- 8%). These effects were significantly different from those during intravenous infusion of the same dose of bradykinin (MAP, 6 +/- 3 mmHg; HR, 31 +/- 7 beats/min; MR, -21 +/- 5%; RRR, 8 +/- 4%; LRR, 6 +/- 3%). Pentobarbital greatly attenuated the responses to intrarenal bradykinin. In conscious animals denervation of the infused kidney completely abolished the cardiovascular effects of intrarenal bradykinin. In a separate group of animals, chlorisondamine (7.5 mg/kg iv) completely blocked the increases in MAP and HR during intrarenal bradykinin (1 microgram/min). It is concluded that selective renal administration of bradykinin alters afferent renal nerve activity and that this results in hemodynamic changes consistent with efferent sympathetic activation.


Conservative management of recurrent keratocysts in Basal-cell naevus syndrome.
Basal-cell naevus syndrome is characterized by multiple odontogenic keratocysts as well as skeletal, ophthalmologic and neurologic features. It is important that the dental practitioner be aware of this syndrome as it has important ramifications for the developing dentition. A case of Basal-cell naevus syndrome is presented along with a review of the literature regarding the management of this disorder. An argument for conservative surgical management of this syndrome is made.


The online survey has allowed Vaux and to gather a large amount of data inexpensively and with a relatively small amount of effort, said Scott A. Golder ’03, who works with Vaux. The survey will help Vaux compile an atlas of regional dialects that will be the first such work in decades.

The survey includes 122 questions ranging from the proper pronunciation of the word “poem” (with one syllable or two) to the name of the grassy area in the middle of a street (boulevard, midway or island, among others).

More than 25,000 self-selected respondents from around the world have taken the survey since it went online three years ago.

According to Vaux, the idea for a new and updated atlas occurred to him in 1997 when he began teaching Linguistics 80, “Dialects of English.”

“I…realized that none of the existing dialect grammars or dictionaries actually contained forms that were relevant today; they were all based on the speech of old white farmers from the 1920s…how many students today know what a whiffletree or bonny-clabber are?” Vaux wrote in an e-mail.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a whiffletree is a crossbar on a plough, while bonny-clabber is a type of sour milk.

A new atlas would assist dialectologists by allowing them to track regional dialect trends and population migrations, said North Carolina State University linguistics professor Walt Wolfram.

Because migration patterns have changed since the early 20th century, there’s a need for updated lexical information, Wolfram said.

“Dialect atlases are useful tools for mapping movements of the changing social landscape,” he said.

Despite the homogenizing influence of national television networks, linguists say that regional differences in dialect appear to be increasing. According to Golder, new figures of speech and pronunciations arise more quickly than population migration and television exposure can dilute them.

Another reason for the persistence of regional differences is that personal acquaintances are more compelling models for dialect acquisition than are television characters.

“Children appear to find the social and linguistic prestige of their immediate role models to be more salient and compelling than that of TV role models,” Vaux wrote. “Buffy may be cooler than the leader of the cheerleaders at your school. But Buffy is much less likely to make fun of you in front of your peers on the playground.”

According to Vaux, regional dialect research has a wide variety of applications in commerce, entertainment and even in fighting crime. Vaux said he has been working with a food distribution company to “identify parallels between dialect boundaries and marketing boundaries.”

According to both Wolfram and Vaux, mapping dialects could assist in predicting where a person grew up. Such predictions could be useful for law enforcement or marketing. For example, Wolfram has used his professional experience to assist police investigations.

“I’ve worked with detectives who have recorded messages. The most recent one I listened to used the term ‘sneakers,’ [the use of] which is very different in different regions,” Wolfram said.

I've been outta the loop - So the droids don't actually fold up like they are in the movie? I know it includes 20 static droids or whatever, but that was probably the coolest aspect of the vehicle - besides being a big brown turd of course.

You CAN rack folded droids works with this it just does not come with them.

I think this is going to rot on shelves like the Shuttle but only worse. $140? I can't see the average schmoe plunking down for this it does not look agressive at all. Do kids really want to dispense BD's? TPM basically flopped so I questions their wisdom on banking on this. I will buy one to support the line but that's it. (Yeah, where is the sailbarge? I want a place for all of those Jabba goons to hang out.)

The original TPM was a big money-maker, but the toy sales were ultimately a bad thing. Overproduced. I don't think anyone's arguing that really, but TPM the original release did well... 3D, I think it did well enough I guess, but I think Star Wars is wearing out its welcome some. It has been doing that for a while.

With all the features on the MTT I do think that it's a really fun toy. The folding rack is pretty cool and seems to work well. Eventhough not all of the Battle Droids are articulated (16 are static, 4 have articulation) they look pretty good coming out of the vehicle.

Is $140 worth it? That's up to the individual. I think there's enough toy there to make it worth that price, but I don't know if there's a market there for a $140 toy. I don't have the money or the space for it, but I do like it well enough that if those two strikes against it were removed, I'd buy one even at full price.

Having a 13-year-old movie open to $23 million in February? That's pretty good, actually. It'll be interesting to see what kind of staying power it has this coming weekend since it's a holiday and kids should have a 3 day weekend.

I don't think the MTT will kill the Star Wars toy line, but it could kill our chances at a 2014 large vehicle. The Shuttle may have already done in the 2013 release, but it may be too early to tell on that.

The shuttle was just flat out a bad choice. I've been collecting Star Wars figures for 32 years and I flat out don't even know what a Republic Shuttle is. I'm guessing it's from the Clone Wars cartoon but have not even taken the 30 seconds needed to google that yet. I passed on it all the time at full price, and there have been a pile of them in the clearance aisle at my Walmart for $30 or so and I still don't want it. If those were AT-TEs or AT-ATs or something iconic that size at $30 I'd have put the entire pile in my shopping cart.

I will actually be buying one MTT at full price the first time I see it. I will consider additional MTTs after price reductions.

Agreed, the Shuttle was a really bad decision.

It's annoying that they'll risk so much on something nobody has ever heard of, but won't make an iconic Death Star playset that even some grandmothers would recognize.

Yeah, I think it will be really interesting to see how this thing does at $140. It seems like a cool enough toy, but it is pricey and I don't see any average joes/parents really wanting to pick it up at that price - for Christmas or otherwise. I'd like to get one, but honestly it is going to have to be on a sale/clearance most likely. Like others have said, it doesn't exactly look super aggressive or awesome from the outside either - not likely to draw a lot of kids' eyes. I'm sure kids of collectors - who are more entrenched into SW - may think its cool, but as far as the average kids go, I don't know. It sounds like less and less of them are watching CW even these days, let alone an "old movie".

As far as the 3D release, I think it did well enough. I read somewhere that Fox had hoped it would do $20 for its opening, and it beat that. It will be interesting to see how it fares this weekend with more new releases. That's a big reason I went opening weekend, I wasn't sure how long it would hang around. I do wonder how much Star Wars fatigue there is at this point too, hard to tell. It would have been nice to see them lead things off with A New Hope instead, but I guess I understand why they did it numerically.


Predictors of Social Media Self-Control Failure: Immediate Gratifications, Habitual Checking, Ubiquity, and Notifications.
Social media users often experience the difficulty of controlling their social media use while having important tasks to do. Recent theorizing on self-control and media use proposes four possible factors (immediate gratifications, habitual checking, ubiquity, and notifications) that might cause social media self-control failure (SMSCF). We tested whether these factors indeed predict SMSCF among 590 daily social media users. Results showed that, when people checked social media habitually, or strongly experienced the online ubiquity of social media, or perceived strong disturbances from social media notifications, they were more likely to fail to control their social media use. However, social media-related immediate gratifications did not predict SMSCF. This study empirically identified social media-related factors that might induce social media users' self-control difficulty.


FRISCO, Texas – San Antonio FC got goals from Ever Guzman and Kris Trypak as it defeated FC Dallas 2-0 in the club’s second preseason match on Sunday afternoon. SAFC newcomer Jose Escalante notched assists on both goals to earn victory for the Alamo City club.

“We wanted the players to compete from the first whistle to the final whistle and we felt like every player did that,” said SAFC Head Coach Darren Powell. “It was a preseason match and we showed progress from last weekend to today, so now that needs to continue as we prepare to play next seek and for opening night.”

SAFC opened the scoring in the first half after Escalante made a run down the left and cut back a pass for Guzman to smash past FC Dallas goalkeeper Jimmy Maurer. The visitors doubled their lead in the second half after Escalante recovered a Dallas turnover and whipped a first time cross into the penalty area where Tyrpak headed home.

San Antonio’s starting lineup, which also included new arrivals Darnell King and Mikey Lopez, played the opening hour before the club introduced a second group. Goalkeeper Matt Cardone, who came on to replace Diego Restrepo, made a good late save to deny Dallas’ Victor Ulloa from a free kick to preserve the shutout for the visitors.

PITTSBURGH RIVERHOUNDS 3, CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY 0: The Pittsburgh Riverhounds completed a weekend sweep of their scrimmages as Romeo Parkes scored a goal an added an assist against the Vikings at Highmark Stadium.

Pittsburgh took the lead 10 minutes before halftime when Neco Brett was brought down in the penalty area and Parkes stepped up to convert from the penalty spot. Parkes then played provider in the 65th minute as he set up a chance that Skyler Milne buried from inside the six-yard area. Brett then completed a strong weekend of action with his second goal in as many games in the 90th minute, converting on a breakaway after rounding the goalkeeper at the top of the penalty area.

TULSA ROUGHNECKS FC 2, UNIVERSITY OF TULSA 1: First-half goals by Jusino and Michael Gamble earned the Roughnecks victory in their preseason opener against the Golden Hurricane at the University of Tulsa Soccer Stadium.

The Roughnecks took the lead in the ninth minute as a free kick by Eti Tavares from the left side of the penalty area found Jusino at the back post, allowing the defender to fire home a close-range finish. The Golden Hurricane equalized 10 minutes later as a defensive error allowed Chase Bromstedt – who last season signed as an Academy player with fellow USL club the Swope Park Rangers – to level the score, but Gamble struck two minutes before the break as he got onto a ball over the top and finished calmly to restore the Roughnecks’ lead and earn Head Coach David Vaudreuil’s side the victory.

Before SCHWAB, C.J., and LEE, RICHARDSON, and JOSEPH, JJ.
LEE, Judge.
This is an action at law for breach of an express warranty. Plaintiff contends that the trial court erred in granting a motion for summary judgment on the ground that plaintiff's claim was barred by the statute of limitations contained in ORS 12.135(1), infra.
In 1971 plaintiff purchased certain apartment units from defendant Ash National, Inc. (Ash). After it was discovered that many of the apartment windows leaked, plaintiff agreed on July 22, 1974, to release Ash from liability for previous leaks and contracted with Ash to remedy the condition. The remedial contract between plaintiff and Ash provided in pertinent part:
"Warranty: Seller shall remedy any defects in the installation due to faulty *777 material and workmanship and pay for any damage resulting therefrom which shall appear within a period of one year from this date. The Purchaser shall give notice of observed defects with reasonable promptness. Purchaser may provide inspection of the installation which will not, however, relieve Seller of its warranty.
Third party defendant, Fitzgibbon Glass, Inc., (Fitzgibbon) contracted to repair the defective windows pursuant to the remedial contract. The work was completed on August 16, 1974. In the fall of 1974 and the early winter of 1975, some of the windows developed new leaks. Plaintiff notified Ash of the new leaks in April of 1975 but Ash took no action. On April 20, 1977, more than two years after plaintiff learned that certain windows still leaked, plaintiff filed a complaint based on the warranty provision of the remedial contract. In response Fitzgibbon filed an answer raising the affirmative defense that the action was barred by the two year statute of limitations in ORS 12.135(1). The trial court granted summary judgment for defendants on that basis. We reverse.
The issue is whether the two year statute of limitations in ORS 12.135(1), or the six year statute of limitations in ORS 12.080(1) governs.
ORS 12.135(1) provides in pertinent part:
"(1) An action to recover damages for injuries to a person or to property arising from another person having performed the * * * repair of any improvement to real property * * * shall be commenced within two years from the date of such injury to the person or property * * *." (Emphasis supplied.)
We observe at the outset that the language utilized in ORS 12.135(1) contemplates tort actions. Language such as "damages for injuries to a person or to property" and "such injury to the person or property" is tort language  not contract. The words "contract" and "breach" are conspicuously absent.
In contrast, ORS 12.080 provides:
"(1) An action upon a contract or liability, express or implied, excepting those mentioned in ORS 12.070 and 12.110 and except as otherwise provided in ORS 72.7250;
"* * *
"(3) An action for waste or trespass upon or for interference with or injury to any interest of another in real property, excepting those mentioned in ORS 12.050, 12.060, 12.135 and 273.241, * * *;
shall be commenced within six years." (Emphasis supplied.)
Subsection (1) clearly provides that the six year limitation period is applicable to contracts and it makes no exception for actions arising under ORS 12.135. On the other hand, subsection (3) provides that the six year limitation period is applicable to certain tort actions but makes an exception for actions arising under ORS 12.135. If the legislature had intended to modify the statute of limitations with regard to contracts with contractors, architects and engineers, it would have carved out an exception in ORS 12.080(1) for actions arising under ORS 12.135 just as it did in ORS 12.080(3). We conclude that the legislature intended the six year statute of limitations to apply to all contracts not specifically excepted.
Finally, defendant contends that Sponseller v. Meltebeke, 280 Or. 361, 570 P.2d 974 (1977), forecloses any question of the applicability of ORS 12.135(1) to warranty actions. In that case plaintiff sued a home-builder for breach of implied warranty on the theory that ORS 72.7250, the Uniform Commercial Code statutory provisions for breach of warranty for the sale of personal property, applied. After rejecting plaintiff's theory, the Court stated that since plaintiff's action was commenced more than ten years from the substantial completion of the house, plaintiff's action for breach of warranty was barred by ORS 12.135.[1]
*778 Sponseller is not controlling because the applicability of ORS 12.080(1) was not at issue and because an implied warranty is different from contract  i.e., it is a "curious hybrid" between tort and contract law. Prosser, Law of Torts 634 (4th ed. 1971). Thus, the fact that an action for breach of an implied warranty is barred by the ten year limitation provision of ORS 12.135(1) does not compel the conclusion that an action for breach of an express warranty is subject to the two year statutory limitation provision of ORS 12.135(1). Indeed, the tort language of ORS 12.135(1) and the explicit provision for contracts in ORS 12.080(1) lead us to conclude that ORS 12.135(1) was not intended to apply to contract actions. Accordingly, the six year statute of limitations contained in ORS 12.080(1) governs this action.
Reversed and remanded.
NOTES
[1]  ORS 12.135(1) also provides that actions arising under it "* * * shall be commenced within 10 years from substantial completion of such construction, alteration or repair of the improvement to real property."

Is this just a relict from the past or is this a showstopper for me? (I use an
Debian-based system)

I'm running Arch and received the same message. Ran the test video and it
seems fine to me. Likely what they're saying is that they don't promise
compatibility with Linux.

The webcast is something of a flashtastrophe:

      * Chrome is not officially supported
      * Need to allow pop-ups
      * Chat widget does not do copy & paste
      * Chat widget takes 10 seconds to scroll
      * Shockwave Flash process using 350% of CPU
      * Webcast crashed and had to be restarted from the broadcasting-side
      * Chrome repeatedly asking if I want to kill unresponsive webcast tabs

That said, they have a decently slick UI for handling screen sharing, slides &
chat. It's just that the implementation is a nightmare.

O'Reilly & on24 need to rethink this.

Found it quite nice - the time was limited of course (and with some

And I respect the guts of doing this live in the first place.
