KIA SOUL EV: FULLY CHARGEDPosted On: February 9, 2017 By : AutoLife Team
Perception and its effects on the human mind have a peculiar relationship. Take for instance the Kia Soul. The unorthodox and offbeat styling of the Kia Soul was distinctive in the crossover segment. In what we saw as a bold move, it stepped away from the conventional designs sported by most other crossovers and brought in a fresh perspective into the segment. However, it was a design so fresh it teetered on the verge of being ahead of its time or, as some might argue, in a totally different time dimension altogether. And we agree, it might have been a little too out of the box to be considered instant eye candy. Not because it was an eye sore, but more because of its unique styling that made it an acquired taste.
Now, rip out the fossil fuel churning engine and replace it with an electric motor , slap an 'Eco Electric' badge on it and all the quirkiness falls into place. The boxy design with dropped rooflines, straight back end and futuristic grille mix well to make a concoction that fits into the futuristic electric vehicle persona. And to many petrol heads reluctant to jump onto the eco-friendly bandwagon, it serves as decent motivation; enough to tempt us into getting behind the wheels and taking it for a spin.
The Kia Soul EV retains a lot of design elements from the regular Kia Soul, so much so that it might be difficult for many to differentiate them from each other if it weren't for the closed out grille and eco-electric badge. The Kia Soul EV maintains the individualistic personality that the designers integrated into the Soul.
Replacing the small chrome lined grille is a solid plate that opens up and reveals an electric input port, which is flanked by blue accented projector beam headlights.
They also get auto light control that turns the headlights on or off as required to further support the case of energy conservation. Because there is no engine, the front end also loses the mesh grille in the bottom bumper aiding the aerodynamics. The power-folding side mirrors with integrated LED turn signal indicators are very cohesively integrated into the boxy design of the Soul.
It has a dropped roofline which gives the Soul the smallest hint of a JEEP-ish appearance. The Soul has a straight back look with a number of design features integrated into it. Brake lights and indicators are large and placed on either edges of the rear between which is a singular rear privacy glass pane.
Most electric vehicles we've tested haven't really scored high marks when it comes to space and comfort. To be honest, ingress and egress for the larger than average person can be a bit of an ordeal to perform in the cramped cabins. In contrast, the Kia Soul EV has plenty of space and storage; enough to seat 4 grown passengers. There is plenty of legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers.
Once inside, you will notice that it has a light gray interior, much of which is made from recycled materials. Kia have taken environmental consciousness very seriously and, therefore, nineteen parts of its total interior mass are composed of bio-based materials.
It also gets distinctive and futuristic instrumentation. The left dial features a charge/discharge meter along with a "fuel" gauge that indicates the battery's state of charge. In the middle of the display is the all-important distance to empty. The right dial shows the speedometer and how much energy is being consumed.
Kia has accommodated the 27 kWh lithium-ion batteries, which adds 282 kilograms to the kerb weight of the regular Soul, in the middle of the car underneath the floor so that it does not eat up the space.
With the fossil fuel powered mill chucked out, an electric motor with single speed transmission takes its place. The electric motor puts out 109 horsepower and 210 lb.-ft. of torque, which propels the EV to 100km/h in 11.4 second. And because it is an electric motor, you reach peak torque the instance the wheels turn, which means the EV bolts off the line. And once it gets rolling, the performance doesn't stray too far off from its fuel-powered counterpart.
There are four driving modes: Drive and Brake that can both be used with the eco setting on. Turning on the brake and eco mode on maximizes the driving range and transforms the Soul EV into a one-pedal drive. Brake ramps up the regenerative braking, which allows the driver to control vehicle speed using the accelerator pedal alone.
Handling is crisp and responsive and the suspension does a good job of soaking up road irregularities and controlling unwanted body motion. Also, every time you decelerate or go downhill, the regenerative braking system recovers kinetic energy that would otherwise be lost and that energy goes straight to recharging the battery.
Electric vehicles could very well be the next step towards the future of automobiles, but we've never really been too keen about it. Don't get us wrong, moving around with a conscience sans of the guilt of contributing to global warming is an enticing prospect; however, the mess of squeezing into an embarrassingly tiny car that struggles to keep pace with a peppy scooter on the road only to appear environmentally conscious is equally uninviting.
Kia managed to turn that on its head with their Soul EV. They haven't gone out of their way to announce to the world that they've come up with a futuristic, otherworldly contraption that begs for attention. The Soul EV, apart from a few tweaks and changes, retains the appearance of the fuel powered Soul. And because it was already a quirky, futuristic design, the appearance finally fit the persona of its electric soul. This meant that we didn't have to look like pretentious, attention seeking tree huggers but could still do our part for the environment.
In addition, we didn't have to feel like we were driving something less than par. Eco friendly, good looking, and able to hold its own on the road. We never thought we would be saying something like this about an electric vehicle, but this one is off the charts. It actually has the competence to go head to head with fuel powered alternatives as an option for potential buyers. Good going Kia.

SHELTERGUARD Tree Shelters - Tubes
SHELTERGUARD tree shelters protect trees from browsing animals (rabbits, hare, muntjac, roe deer, fallow deer and red deer) while providing a sheltered environment to encourage strong early growth. SHELTERGUARD tree shelters are manufactured from a recycled plastic mesh with a 12mm mesh aperture and a clear polyethylene film lining for a sheltered micro-climatic environment. The film laminate gives the SHELTERGUARD tree guard added shelter from wind and herbicide spray, allows light to penetrate and acts like a greenhouse encouraging good strong early tree growth. SHELTERGUARD treeshelters have been specifically designed to photo-degrade in a two stage process, with the polyethylene film lining breaking up first (after approximately three growing seasons), leaving a free draining netting tree guard to continue to provide support and browsing protection.
SHELTERGUARD tree shelters are supplied as 4 welded tubes nested inside of
each other, with the diameters of the 4 shelters ranging from 80-110mm dia. and have stake ties pre-fitted.
SHELTERGUARD tree shelters tubes are available in 45cm, 60cm, 75cm, 90cm, 1.2m, 1.5m and 1.8m heights to protect trees from all types of browsing animal. A moulded top lipping is fitted to to each tree shelter to prevent stem abrasion and strengthen the tree shelter tube. SHELTERGUARD tree shelters are designed with a staggered weld line which improves drainage, preventing the shelter tube from filling up with water. The film, mesh and top lipping will photodegrade and split as the stem of the growing tree expands to fill the tube.
SHELTERGUARD treeshelters are coloured olive green as standard which blends in discreetly with the environment. We can also manufacture in brown subject to order quantity.
- The mesh structure gives ideal tree protection from browsing animals (rabbits, hare and deer)
- The polyethylene film provides a sheltered environment for the young tree and will degrade after approximately three growing seasons, leaving a plastic mesh tree guard to continue to protect against browsing animals
- SHELTERGUARD treeshelters have a moulded top lipping fitted to prevent the abraision of the tree stem.
- The plastic netting and top lipping will photodegrade between 5-7 years as the stem of the growing tree expands

A strange confluence of sensor resolutions. Bizarre fun with high resolution.

Seems like it would make the most sense to have another a57 as your car floor cam as it's price is not very different from the D3200 and you'd get an EVF to boot. Not to mention sharing the same spare batteries as your a77.

Not sure I agree with the EVF statement in the last paragraph - I pretty much avoid using my Nex 5n because of the EVF (or the external EVF, which I find to be a $300+ waste). I agree EVFs are the wave of the future, and they'll get to an exceptable level of image quality, but not yet - at least, not yet for me. As they say, YMMV.

Did someone confirm the Olympus OM-D is a Sony sensor??? I am shooting the camera right now and I figured it was but saw no confirmation anywhere in the industry sites.

Nevermind. Just did a google search and saw Oly president confirmed it. Just goes to show I should read more websites and do less shooting. ;-)

Life doesn't always make sense. I'll try to do a comprehensive spread sheet for 2013 and we'll see if we can make everything much more logical and rational. It would just require me to totally change my core personality.

- kirk tuck said...
I'm going to bet you are a long time camera user, training in the ways of the OVF. Try using nothing but the EVF for a week and see if you change your mind. Some people don't like them because it's not exactly how life looks through an optical finder but it might be more like what life looks like to your camera...and at least you'll better know what you're going to get.
- August 15, 2012 at 3:33 PM
- kirk tuck said...
If Sony ends up making the majority of the sensors for digital cameras it will be just like when Kodak had like 90% of the U.S. market for film back in the 20th century. Hope they do a better job predicting the future. But I guess predicting the past is a lot easier...

I tried the NEX-5N EVF and was amazed. It is the same unit as the A77/A65 and NEX-7. Using that certainly boosted my excitement for the ever delayed NEX-7.
- August 16, 2012 at 7:53 AM
- Keith I. said...
I am in the same boat, but with only two cameras now. I have been using my A900 since it was introduced almost four years ago, so I was already used to the file sizes. I missed the quicker processing times of my NEX-5 files but the NEX-7 is well worth it. Now we'll see if the A99 maintains that 24MP spot.
- August 16, 2012 at 7:55 AM
- Gene Baucom said...
I have to agree about the subtle tonal differences, the EVF and focus peaking. I use an A77, but my walk-around lens is a Sigma 120-400 because I mostly shoot wildlife. A completely different subject, but one where the same factors make all the difference. When your subject is moving all the time, the ability to see the data in the EVF is just wonderful. You can adjust the aperture a bit for depth of field, see the exposure time right there. Fast enough? Yes shoot. The focus peaking shows you exactly where you are.
The possibility of going back to an ordinary / conventional camera? Zero.
Some images to prove the point are here
- August 16, 2012 at 8:01 AM
- Steve J said...
So what you are really saying is that for spontaneous street shooting, 12MP will probably get you where you need to be?

My head is spinning. I was enjoying your journey through micro four-thirds and was poised to buy an OM-D, but you've sold your M43 stuff already. I can't keep up!
Maybe I should just buy your cast-offs :-)
Seriously, I was in the camera store and had the OM-D in my hand and my Visa card ready. At the last minute, I asked the guy if I could try the Nex-7 and that was it. It just felt so much better in my hand. I'm a bit disappointed with the lens selection, but it looks like there are several new ones coming down the pike on August 28th. So far, I'm delighted with the image quality and the ergonomics of the camera. My Canon lenses are on Craigslist.
- August 17, 2012 at 2:27 PM
- Steve J said...
Thanks Kirk, I had kind of reached the same conclusion. I'm making 13X19" prints from a 16MP Xpro1 and even if you could see more detail with a loupe, it wouldn't add much to the picture provided you sharpen it appropriately. What seems more important is micro contrast, which a lack of AA filter and nice glass helps with somewhat.
12MP images from the X100 are really not far behind. The main difference seems to be dynamic range, which for a lot of informal work is far more important. Luckily the "new generation" of Sony sensors seem to have taken a step forward in that area as well.

For me the D3200 rang all the right bells on my budget. If the files from the D3200 are on par with the pricier Sony offerings then that's a pretty good recommendation (if budget is a consideration). For my the EVF makes a much bigger difference for video than stills, for which I can use either technology and to me that's a pretty big recommendation for EVF. I understand the sex appeal. For the moment though the D3200 is an enigma. A small(ish) camera that can deliver big, big results at a bargain(ish) basement price. My GH2 will likely head to the big auction site this week-end.

Eating Healthy = Living Longer!
In a recent study published in the Journal of The American Dietetic Association it appears that eating healthfully actually does translate into living longer! This should make perfect sense but it's actually quite difficult to prove. As with any research more is always needed to make a firm statement about such an important finding but it's great to hear that our good habits might really pay off!
We have been able to link eating poorly with bad health outcomes but it's a lot harder to make the opposite link, eating well with positive health outcomes. The study, done by the University of Maryland, was conducted with 2500 older (age 70-79 years) adults. They surveyed their eating habits and their actual state of health. They categorized the participants into six groups based on their predominant style of eating. The groups were:
"Healthy Foods"
"High Fat Dairy"
"Meat, Fried Foods, & Alcohol"
"Breakfast Cereal"
"Refined Grains"
"Sweets & Desserts"
The "Healthy Foods" group had higher intakes of low fat dairy, fruit, whole grains, poultry, fish, and vegetables as well as lower intakes of meats, fried foods, sweets, high-calorie drinks and added fat. This group had a 40% lower mortality rate than the "High Fat Dairy" group did and a 37% lower risk than the "Sweets & Desserts" group did. There was no significant difference between "Healthy Foods" and "Breakfast Cereal" or "Refined Grains". This study is a promising look into how eating right may reduce your risk of chronic disease and death from it.
As I stated early and as nearly all published studies do, more research is needed in this area to make stronger conclusions but it's nice to finally get some positive feedback on eating right and staying healthy!
The article is "Dietary patterns and survival of older adults" by Amy L Anderson, Ph.D.; Tamara B Harris, M.D., M.S.; Frances A Tylavsky, Dr.P.H.; Sara E Perry, M.A., M.P.H.; Denise K Houston, Ph.D., R.D.; Trisha F Hue, M.P.H.; Elsa S Strotmeyer, Ph.D., M.P.H.; and Nadine R Sahyoun, Ph.D., R.D. It appears in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, Volume 111, Issue 1 (January 2011) published by Elsevier.

1989 Cavalier Z24 Convertible
This is it!!! The car that replaced the Riviera. It had some pretty big shoes to fill, being an "economy" car and such. It doesn't drive as nice, as smooth, or be loaded with luxury. What it does have is what it is missing-the roof! And I love driving it in summer! Plus it is a creampuff, with only 75,000 on the odometer when I got it, and I can still drive the Riv. My Dad kept it to replace the ailing LeSabre as a car to save wear and tear on his truck. So if you hear the bass is kicking and the top is down, give me a honk!

VundoFix by Atribune
The Bug has been fixed and VundoFix is once again publicly available. Thanks to Subs, Marcin and everyone else who helped in resolving this issue.
VundoFix is a freeware removal tool for many of the known variants of Trojan.Vundo, Trojan.Conhook and other similar infections.
I've been working on this tool for nearly 2 years constantly updating and improving the way it detects and removes the vundo infection.
Generally an updated version is released once a week and in some special cases sometimes 2 or 3 times in a week. The tool has had great success removing the infection from over 1 million computers to date and I hope to continue with that same success into the future.
One of the main install vectors for Vundo that we have found is through Java exploits in older versions of Java. Be sure to keep Java updated and remove older versions after updating. Java updates are available from Sun MicroSystems from here. Old versions of Java can be safely removed through Add or Remove Programs in Windows.
Another good idea is to install all Windows Critical Updates. We have seen many variants of Vundo installed through IRC bots that use flaws in the Windows Operating System.
Signs of infection:
Usually when infected with Vundo the user is bombarded with popups for WinFixer, Amaena, WinAntiVirus, ErrorSafe, SystemDoctor and DriveCleaner. Downloading and running these Fraudware applications will result in a fake scan telling you that you are infected with malware then telling you that you need to buy their program to remove the malware that it found. DO NOT BUY THESE PROGRAMS. They are scams and will not remove anything but could possibly make your infection worse.
A slowdown in PC performance may also be noticed when Vundo is running as well as the possibility of random BSOD's.
Normal Usage for Removal:
*****Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.*****
If you encounter a variant of Vundo that VundoFix does not detect or cannot remove please let us know on our forum located at http://www.atribune.org/forums/ in the HijackThis and Malware Removal section. The forum staff is always happy to help with removal of Vundo and other malware as well.
If VundoFix gives an runtime error on startup you are most likely missing the file: comdlg32.ocx A new copy and instructions on where to put it can be found HERE
If VundoFix has helped you remove this infection please donate to help me keep developing this tool. Updating and modifying the tool is very time consuming and every dollar I receive in donations helps to keep the tools and the help site free for users like yourself.
Donations can be made via PayPal here
From Mark:
I would like to thank you for having such a great program! My computer somehow got infected
From Alfred:
Thanks for Vundofix. It helped me out of a frustrating situation
From Chris:
Thank you for such a simple fix to a problem that was driving me crazy. Keep up the good work!
From Andrew:
VundoFix worked like a charm
From Andrew:
My parents always fall for traps--I come home from school and the thing runs like it's drunk. Thanks for making vundo removal easy!
From Bob:
Thanks for writing Vundofix, this removed the Vundo spyware off of my computer. Every prior attempt failed.
From Lawrence:
I tried at least 5 apps to fix my Vundo problem (mcafee, avast, etc).. nothing worked until i found yours. thanks !
From Richard:
VundoFix saved my a** today and this is my way of saying thank you! :)
From Mark:
After four days of working on my computer, YOUR VundoFix did the job!
From William:
Used VundoFix v6.3.23. Your program succeeded where many other commercial programs didn't. Thanks!
From Derek:
Your VundoFix got rid of the virus that my more expensive Norton AV program couldn't fix, and I wasted nights after nights trying to fix it with NAV! Good for you! Thanks a lot!

Announcing a Google version of the HTC One, Google's Sundar Pichai claims the huge domination of Samsung does not harm Android or Google.
Android is the world's largest smartphone platform by some distance but despite hundreds of companies making hardware using Google's software, only one company is making any money, and that's Samsung.
The South Korean company is the world's largest smartphone maker and between it and second-placed Apple takes all the profits from smartphones. Companies like Sony, HTC and Motorola are trailing in their wake, making no money from their Android smartphones and tablets.
However, this utter domination is not something Google is worried about according to head of Android and Chrome Sundar Pichai who was speaking on Thursday at the All Things D conference in San Francisco.
"We actually owe a lot of success in Android to what they've done. A vast majority of their phones are based on Android, so I see a pretty symbiotic relationship, and we intend to keep it that way. Look at Intel and Microsoft, they collaborated for many years."
Samsung currently has a 33% share of the smartphone market with no other Android smartphone manufacturer holding above a 5% share, and most well below that. In terms of profits, Canncord Genuity said earlier this month that Apple took 57% of the profits from smartphones in the first quarter of 2013 with Samsung accounting for the other 43% - meaning no one else is making a profit.
Two or three big players
When asked if it wouldn't be better for everyone if there were two or three big players in Android, Pichai said:
"I'm going to say this and I don't think people will believe me, but I don't think it matters for us. It's not just the operating system, but it's the services on top of it, the cloud services. Look at search, maps, YouTube - we do crazy things to make maps happen - fly planes, drive cars. And we have more coming, we have Google Now. And I think that's where the innovation lays."
Pichai also addressed the issue of user experience across Android devices. Fragmentation has been a major problem for the platform for developers and users as a result of a huge variety of screen sizes, form factors and most importantly manufacturers adding their own custom skins on top of stock Android.
Google has moved to address this of late, with the development of the Nexus smartphones and tablets to show what stock Android can do, as well as announcing a Google Edition of the Galaxy S4 at Google I/O last month.
On Thursday Pichai showed off the HTC One running stock Android which will go on sale from 26 June on Google's Play Store costing $599 - with no UK pricing or availability announced yet.
Pichai addressed the challenges facing Android saying the sheers size of it is the biggest hurdle: "The scale and scope is pretty breathtaking. The challenge is, Android is designed to be completely open, so from a Google perspective, we deeply care about the user experience - how do people use Android - so how do we have a guiding hand to get the user experience to all the people."
However openness and consistency of experience do not make good bed-fellows and while Google has up until now gone for the open approach Apple has gone for consistency of experience and a closed eco-system.
Pichai denied Google was asserting control away from its hardware partners: "This is the strength of Android, it can be customised. But we want a sense of commonality when you switch phones.
Pichai said the reason for producing Nexus devices was to push forward hardware development with partners and "it will continue" to do this.

So I just got back from my first Fantastic Pit bounce and I am thinking... What next? So the Cave of Swallows came to mind.
Then ofcourse I thought about dragging all my gear and rope out to Mexico would be a pain in the butt and started looking into some of the guided tours where they provide the necessary gear (eventhough I still would like to use my own rappel and ascending gear).
Has anyone here ever used one of these outfitters? If so, can you provide some info on them and did you feel comfortable with them?
And yes I realize that this is a big rappel, proper training is required... This trip may happen 1-2 years from now which will give me time to get it together

Cheesecake Marbled Browines Recipe 2012 (Part of the "Keep Your Man Employed" Series)
Today, I sent my man off to work with a double batch of these babies.
You may be saying to yourself, "But Gary… you go to such great lengths in the kitchen, and then you let MG take all those brownies to work with him?"
And I'd answer, "yes." Because when the hubby goes to work with cheesecake brownies made from scratch, his stage (he's an animator) becomes the focal point of the production offices.
When his stage becomes the focal point of the production offices, he's more readily able to showcase not only his brilliant animating skills, but also his winning personality and magical blue eyes.
When he showcases his brilliant animating skills, his winning personality and magical blue eyes, co-workers say, "Wow, that Michael Granberry is something special!"
When co-workers say, "Wow, that Michael Granberry is something special!" they're more likely to throw promotions, raises and multi-million dollar production deals his way.
When co-workers throw promotions, raises and multi-million dollar production deals his way, he becomes a Hollywood hotshot, all his career dreams come true, and I get a swimming pool!
So yes, the brownies go to work with MG. Just like the oatmeal truffle cookies did last week, and the yet-to-be-determined dessert will next week.
And the week after that, and the week after that, and the week after that.
And whenever Michael comes home with good news from the office, I close my eyes, smile, and say to him, "I can almost smell the chlorine already!"
Cheesecake Marbled Browines
- 1 stick (1/2 cup or 4 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- pinch of salt
For the cheesecake batter…
- 8 ounces cream cheese, well softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks to top the combined batter once mixed
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the chopped chocolate and the butter into a pan and simmer, stirring regularly to keep it from burning.
Once melted, remove from the stove, and whisk in the eggs, vanilla, salt and sugar. Once combined, whisk in the flour and once combined again, pour into a well-greased 8″ by 8″ pan.
Over to the cheesecake batter. Whisk together all the cheesecake ingredients until well-combined. THE CREAM CHEESE MUST BE VERY SOFTENED or it will just stick to the whisk in giant clumps and go absolutely nowhere. Once combined… the real fun begins!
Bring them both together.
Use a small butter knife to blend the two together and achieve the marbled look that makes these puppies so much fun to take pictures of. Then, top them off with your chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks. Cook for 30-35 minutes. I used the standard "dipping in a toothpick" method to see when they were done. Just a tiny touch of batter coming out on the toothpick is when I pull them out to cool.

The Flying Scotsman will pass through Nottinghamshire today for the second time this week.
The famous locomotive, which has recently undergone a ten-year long, £4.2 million refurbishment, will pass through Retford this morning on its inaugural run from London to York.
It was due to be in Retford at 11.18am but trespassers on the line in Cambridgeshire mean it is now running more than 20 minutes behind schedule.
Network Rail said it has had to "stop all trains" on the East Coast Mainline "because of a huge number of trespassers" keen to get a look at the Flying Scotsman.
After today's journey, it will remain at the National Railway Museum in York until March 6, before heading out around the country on tour.
It will be back in the area again on June 18 when it will pass through Gainsborough.
This video shows the locomotive stopping to take on water in Retford yesterday as it travelled to London.

South Dakota Gambling Laws
South Dakota is a frontier state with a number of recreational activities in which residents and visitors can participate, including gambling. Perhaps one of the most popular gambling games for which skill is not required is the state lottery. The state also permits people to play at commercial as well as tribal casinos. The state regulates gambling so as long as an individual engages in one of the regulated activities, they are acting within the bounds of the law. Among other activities, South Dakota permits card games, such as poker, the lotto, and pari-mutuel betting.
Social gambling is implicitly permitted in the state because the legislature understands that with a relatively small state population and few recreational options compared to those in other states, social gambling, e.g. home games of poker, etc., is a public good. South Dakota's gambling laws do not currently allow for social or private gambling outright since it is an unregulated gambling activity. However, as previously mentioned, there is an implied acknowledgement that it occurs and that it is not truly a crime, hence the lack of criminal prosecutions on such charges. Although people can get into trouble with the law if they break gambling laws, even social gambling ones, prosecutors in the state have greater offenders to prosecute than low-level players and even operators.
Overall, South Dakota gambling law is broad and circular.
Section 22-25-1 states the following: "Any person who engages in gambling in any form with cards, dice, or other implements or devices of any kind wherein anything valuable is wagered upon the outcome […] is guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor." Unfortunately, that statute does not specify what gambling is, only the forms that it can take, which, as proscribed, are illegal. The statute goes on, however, to indicate that breaking this law is a misdemeanor offense. Although the law is broad and vague because it provides no description of gambling, people in the state overall understand what they can and cannot do. This common knowledge is likely passed down generationally.
Online Gambling Laws
South Dakota has been a frontier state with respect to online gambling, though not necessarily in the way gamblers would presumably hope, by legislating (via Chapter 22-25A) that online gambling is illegal. However, pursuant to the law, and more specifically, pursuant to its intent, operators rather than players are the individuals and entities targeted for beginning online gambling operations. Such offenses can be charged as felonies. Although this is the case, there have yet to be criminal cases for online gambling in the state. Relatedly, the state does not seem to be making any moves, at least soon, to bring regulated gambling online. There is no partisan reason for this; the matter simply has not been one of concern due to other prevailing policy concerns.
Recent Legal Developments
Regarding recent gambling developments in the state, Governor Duugard has recently signed a law making patronizing a casino (in Deadwood) after having been banned a Class 1 Misdemeanor. If convicted, the maximum penalties could be a year incarceration and a $2,000 fine.
Casinos in South Dakota
There are approximately thirty five tribal and casinos in the state, including, among others, the following: Buffalo Bodega Gaming Complex, Dakota Connection Casino and Bingo, and Deadwood Gulch Resort.

Michael Dattilo Rubbo (born 31 December 1938) is an Australian filmmaker who has written and directed over 50 films in documentary and fiction. Rubbo studied at Scotch College, Melbourne, and read anthropology at Sydney University, before travelling on a Fulbright scholarship to study film at Stanford University, California where he got his MA in Communication Arts. Rubbo worked for 20 years as a documentary film director at the National Film Board of Canada before returning to Australia.[1]
Early career
"Michael Rubbo did not invent the subjective, personal documentary, which has since been popularized by Michael Moore and Nick Broomfield, but he was one of its first and bravest advocates."[1]— Piers Handling, director, Toronto International Film Festival
Rubbo worked for 20 years as a documentary film director at National Film Board of Canada, taking time off in between films to teach both in Australia at the just opened National Film School, and U.S. universities (including Harvard University). Hired by the NFB to make films for children, Rubbo directed over 40 documentaries, winning many international prizes. His best known documentaries are Sad Song of Yellow Skin (1972)) (filmed in Vietnam during the war), Waiting for Fidel (1973), Wet Earth and Warm people (a personal journey though Indonesia), Margaret Atwood: Once in August (1984), and a more recent documentary made after his NFB tenure, Much Ado About Something (2001)[1]. Much Ado About Something explores the possibility that Christopher Marlowe was the hidden hand behind William Shakespeare. "Rubbo marshals the evidence with lucidity and zest and comes to his own original and contentious conclusion" - Suzy Baldwin, Sydney Morning Herald
Working at the NFB, Rubbo was an early pioneer in the field of metafilm, creating subjective, highly personal films that were more like personal journals than objective records of reality. Sad Song of Yellow Skin, Rubbo's reaction to the Vietnam war, is his most awarded film in this genre. That Rubbo should have pursued this vision at the National Film Board was particularly striking, as the NFB's English-language production branch had, during Rubbo's tenure, generally encouraged a much more objective approach to non-fiction film, including the use of voice-of-God narration.[2]
His films have been widely shown on TV; Much Ado About Something being repeated several times on PBS Frontline Program which still sells the film. His work is also in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) New York and film schools around the world. He has been visiting lecturer at New York University, UCLA, Stanford University and the University of Florida with longer teaching periods at Harvard University and the Australian Film, Television and Radio School (AFTRS). In 1973, he helped found Film Australia, an independent organization devoted to the promotion of Australian cinema.
Rubbo has also directed and written four children's feature films including The Peanut Butter Solution (1985), Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller (1988) along with its sequel The Return of Tommy Tricker (1994), and the Daytime Emmy award winning film Vincent and Me (1990). He spent some time as the Head of Documentaries at Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Television, encouraging cinema vérité and instigating the popular Race Around the World series.
Recent work
In 2004, he made a documentary All about Olive about centenarian Olive Riley, which was shown on the ABC. Born in 1899, Olive Riley went back to her birthplace, Broken Hill, to tell the story of her life. She helped them with the directing. After making All about Olive, Mike helped the very old lady become the world's oldest blogger, a title she held from 2006 to 2008, gaining fans around the world.
Whilst Olive failed to make it to the Guinness book of records as the world's oldest director, Madame Jeanne Calment, another of Mike's stars, did make into the records book as the world's oldest actor. That was for her role, at the age of 114, in Rubbo's 'Vincent and Me'.
Village filmmaker
"Mike is a community filmmaker; he calls himself the village film maker. His advocacy films, such as recent ones on dog owners rights, and the Avoca Theatre come across as moderate and reasonable in tone which makes their advocacy all the more effective." Katerina Korolkevich-Rubbo
There are over 200 viewable clips by Rubbo online, with total views approaching 1 million. Most of his films are centered on Avoca Beach, NSW where he lives with his family, an hour and a half drive north of Sydney.
Bike activism
Approximately 30 films of his on YouTube are about cycling with an emphasis on bikes as transport, using European-style stately sit-up bikes. He also promotes electric bikes, which he believes are a good way back to cycling for many Australians.[3] [4] In these films, he's also campaigned for helmet choice, believing that getting rid of Australia's compulsory helmet law will free up every day cycling. He points out that public bike share schemes, now a feature of so many cities, can't work well in Australia because of the compulsory helmet law.[5]
He has set up a bicycle art site, www.situp-bike-art.com, believing that art can help promote riding bikes as transport. "When people start putting bike art on their walls", he says, "then the image of cycling will change." Mikes Daughter Ellen has started a T-shirt collection of Mikes Bike Art. It sells under the name of Datilo and can be found through direct contact of Mike. These shirts represent prints of Mikes famous bicycle black and white lino cuts.
Avoca Beach Picture Theatre
For more than ten years, along with many locals, Rubbo has been involved in a campaign to preserve the low key charm of the famous single screen cinema in Avoca Beach. That cinema was recently chosen by the BBC, as one of the 10 most beautiful in the world. Mike, and many who live at Avoca believe that the cinema is an important community hub, and that the plans presently on the table, to turn it into a five screen multiplex, are the wrong way to go. To prove that single screens and twins are not dinosaurs, Mike has created, with the help of Charles Nicholls, a website called cinematourista.[6] The aim is to show that a surprising number of little cinemas are surviving and thriving, and also, to encourage people to think of such charming picture palaces as interesting tourist destinations. New South Wales has more small cinemas than any other state in Australia. They are priceless tourist assets.
Spin me stories
Rubbo is launching an educational product which stems from his love of storytelling. Spin me stories is a hand held device, which by whirring a number of wands in front of young players, invites players to grab one and begin an improvised story based on the picture at the end of the wand.
Personal life
Rubbo is the son of Australian microbiologist, Sydney Rubbo, and the grandson of the painter and teacher, Antonio Dattilo Rubbo. He has always been a painter as well as film-maker.
Rubbo lives in Avoca Beach with his wife Katerina, a Russian interpreter, ESOL Teacher, icon painter/artist. She collaborates with Mike on film and art projects. His daughter Ellen Rubbo is a non-performing songwriter, lyricist and poet. Ellen a.k.a Ellika, is the director of her Musical Collective - Dattilo, which released the well known song about the Rio Olympics in 2016, Muita Gente. Ellika has a background in Business Marketing, Events Management and Communications.
Mike also has a son, Nicolas, living in Canada working for a top-ranked Canadian law firm, as Director, Marketing and Communications.
His brother, Mark Rubbo, is a prominent bookseller (Readings) and his sister, Anna Rubbo, a global architectural activist.

NYC and beyond/
I can hardly believe it... I conducted in Carnegie Hall! Let me backtrack. Way back in June I heard Francisco Nunez talk about his Transient Glory workshop. It sounded so exciting I wanted to apply. Months later I did and was accepted. I was to be one of eight young-ish conductors selected to conduct as part of this three-day long workshop. After our second Simon Boccanegra performance, I flew overnight to NYC.
What a whirlwind of a time. It's hard to even remember details, much less recount them. I was so happy to have family and friends supporting me through the concerts. It was a lot of information handed out by different people in such a short amount of time. Hopefully I have absorbed some of these good lessons for the future. If nothing else, I was very proud to be part of the whole symposium as well as proud to lead the Young People's Chorus of New York City in a rendition of David del Tredici's Four Heartfelt Anthems. I learned the importance of pleasing a composer, of being flexible and adaptable, and the crazy life of a traveling musician. I'll need to work especially on that one. Too many redeyes hurt, but somehow others are able to manage. I met many great musicians, people, colleagues. I hope we are able to stay in touch. I know the music world is small enough I'll run into some of them again. And then I flew back for our matinee third performance of Boccanegra. What a quick trip!
We've also managed to hold Chorus auditions at LAO. I love hearing the diversity of voices singing a wide variety of arias. It is intriguing to hear what cycles through as the popular arias of the season though. It is always a surprise. Fortunately most everything has run without a hitch, though illness has taken down a few singers and put them into the makeup auditions.
Anyway, it has been great to conduct a group in public again. It has been educational to hear so many singers in short succession. Who knows what will happen next?

Just when the squad is prepared for the righteous conquest of our movement and the world, the interwebz breaks.
What started as a personal platform soon grew into a large grassroots movement with support from around the globe. People recognized that what we were doing with the magazine was something that the community needed and we tried our best to fulfill the void.
We quickly realized that we didn't have the capacity to support our rapid growth and that we would need to find a new home. Finally, the day arrived when we were forced from our dreadful shared hosting to something powerful, expandable and dedicated that would accommodate the high traffic load and our high resource usage. That place was Digital Ocean, a self-managed cloud hosting platform.
I've managed a server before, granted I was thirteen and it was a Ragnarok Online private server that could host a few hundred players, but it was a server nonetheless. I also had decent working knowledge of Linux and command line after working with Ubuntu for a few years. Hosting a website is the same thing right? Let's just say I forgot there were lots of other components involved, many of which were new to me, and making sure they all played nicely wasn't as simple as I imagined.
Startup campaign emails ready, new platform releases ready, and there goes shit hitting the fan. Our server management software didn't like some of the simple changes I made in the command line and decided it would take a fat deuce on all of our hard work. The crumbling MÜV Empire only had one hope: the Great Magician India.
India had brought us back from the dreadful 500 Internal Server Error after just a few days and we thought we were in the clear. It wasn't until later in the week that we started noticing some bizarre issues in the backend of our platform. Long story short, our database had become corrupt. Then those fateful words left India's fingertips, and as I received them on my screen, I knew we had fucked up: "Hey Andrew, do you have a database backup?"
"Yeah, hold on," I said as I dug through the incalculable folders within our backup space. But of course, the database backups were nowhere to be found, and with our only database left corrupted, our hopes turned toward India's sorcery.
It wasn't long before we had realized that our initial recovery efforts were in error; a mistake that would cost us a good bit of money and even more time. In the end, our attempts were unfruitful. We should have known that because the issue stemmed from a conflict with our server management software that their support would cover issues pertaining to their software, and it did. However, even their powerful wizards were no match for our ruined database.
After some deliberation and a few angry wall punches, we knew there was only one option: rebuild our fallen empire. The real question surfaced: How do we rebuild something quickly that initially took us years to make? The answer to this question came in two parts.
Somehow, our original platform still lingered in the ether; accessible by the public and mysteriously complete with full administrative access. Even more incredible was the fact that all of our information remained intact even after such a disastrous failure. However, due to the fact that our database had become corrupt, we had no option but to transfer everything: All the posts, every page, each piece of media, every user account, countless customized settings, and all remaining data, word by word…file by file…manually…by hand….one at a time. Needless to say, this has occupied all of our time the last several months.
The process was grueling, and for the most part, extremely repetitive. Hundreds of hours of selecting the same options, resizing thousands of images, and reformatting broken post layouts. The process went between simply copying and pasting data to working with our server management team to recover things after they'd fallen apart again in a seemingly infinite loop of disasters.
But you're reading this because we're here and we didn't do it alone. Nor could have we. The real help came in the form of donations from people all around the world who believed in our mission, and what we've done to get to where we are. People who believe in our mission to create a space for our communities' internal dialogue: a space for questioning, discussion, creation, and enjoyment. A space to form the collective voice of our community to what often seems like an outside and misunderstanding world.

I can't figure out whether it's the Jesse Stone of Robert B. Parker's novels or the Jesse Stone played so wonderfully by Tom Selleck in the made-for-TV movies that I like better. Both equally, I guess. Jesse was a minor league shortstop who injured his throwing arm and still regrets and misses the baseball career he never got to realize. Strike one. His second strike came when his beautiful wife dumped him for a career in TV, and his third strike was being fired from the LAPD because of a drinking problem. His career and his life are at rock bottom as he, the big city cop, deals with the small town issues of dinky, little Paradise, Massachusetts. Jesse brings a strong sense of right and wrong and a no-bullshit style to his position as Paradise's chief of police. As you read or watch Jesse you'll want to drop your book or pause the TV and see if you can reach out and somehow help this deeply troubled man.
I've read and watched everything ever written or filmed about Jesse Stone. Here's the list so you can begin your adventure. Enjoy!

I took another tech sabbatical during spring break (April 14-19). It didn't mean I was totally removed from the digital world – only Twitter, my blog, and a few other feeds that could distract me from being present at home.
Here are a few reflections from my short break:
- Learning can happen anytime. The distance I sought from my digital connections did not mean that I wasn't learning. My mind came back to prior ideas, while I was at mass, raking leaves, and reading the news. In fact, having that extra time to process what I was pondering allowed me to more deeply reflect on these ideas and connect them elsewhere.
- We don't need technology to be distracted. One of my goals over break was to put together my manuscript for my first book. As I reverse outlined chapters in my notebook, my son would ask me questions about random stuff, such as how to play the guitar. I was so deep in thought during this task, that I sometimes did not hear his questions the first or second time. Being present is about what our minds are on, and not necessarily what are fingers are on.
- Nylon guitar strings don't sound as good as steel. I had my old guitar restrung for my son. We tried to play a few chords on it, but they all sounded the same. However, we did find a couple of cool apps on the iPad for tuning the guitar and taking lessons.
- Ketchup + Horseradish = Shrimp Cocktail Sauce. Okay, not earth-shattering. The butcher at our local grocery store informed me of this fact, after noticing my prepackaged shrimp plate in my cart. Based on his information, I purchased fresh shrimp from him instead. Would the butcher have been as inclined to give me this advice, had I been checking my phone while shopping? Possibly not.
- Prepare for the Unexpected. I had fully intended to put in a new raised garden bed in our yard. Instead, Central Wisconsin got this:
- I like being connected. Although it gets easier every time I take a break from my digital connections, I did miss the interactions with my personal learning network. At the same time, taking a break helped me better appreciate everyone on the other end once I returned.

With Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, the Redmond company is looking to provide customers with greater peace of mind by enhancing control over both authentication (who has access Microsoft Dynamics AX) and authorization (what people are allowed to do after they have access).
Dynamics AX 2012 introduces new authorization concepts and a flexible authentication model that will make it much easier for you to work with your own customers, partners, and vendors through a web-based portal.
"Our goal was to provide flexibility in how people access the data they need without compromising on security, while at the same time reducing the administrative overhead of managing those permissions," Microsoft stated.
Introducing Role-Based Security
"One of our primary goals in AX 2012 was to make security configuration as simple and painless as possible. To achieve this, we adopted a role-based security model, complete with more than 80 predefined roles," revealed Microsoft.
"The new model separates the specific access permissions, such as access to tables or menu items, from the business processes that users work with every day. Defining and assigning permissions is now the responsibility of the application developers. Business consultants and partners can then group these developer-defined permissions according to unique business requirements and established processes."
"We spent significant effort and research defining a set of more than 80 baseline role definitions (along with more than 700 duties and several process cycles), which ship with AX 2012. So, rather than configuring permissions and defining roles from scratch, the administrator's task is to fine-tune existing roles to match your particular organization. For the more day-to-day operational tasks, such as assignment of users to roles, AX 2012 introduces new features such as "Dynamic Role Assignment," "User-to-Role-to-Organization Assignment," and some level of Windows PowerShell-based management. Administrators-especially anyone who's managed ERP security configuration in the past-will appreciate the ease of the new model, which has cut the time required to configure security by as much as several weeks among some of our Technology Adoption Program (TAP) customers. This, in turn, means that our customers are able to go live with their business application more quickly than they could in the past, improving their time to value. The new model also means that applications and add-ins created by developers and independent software vendors (ISVs) are secure by design. Especially in industries with stringent compliance requirements, the ability to demonstrate the security of your applications out-of-the-box can truly bring peace of mind," Micorosft explained.
Extensible Data Security
Although role-based security will streamline deployment and management, our customers have also been asking for finer, more granular control over access to specific data within the organization. Role-based security controls access to menu items and types of data, such as customers or purchase orders, but in the real world, you may need to control access at a more detailed level, such as by geography, company, or division. AX 2012 enables organizations to define authorization policies dynamically so that access to business data can be controlled based on sophisticated business rules. This enables you to easily adapt security configurations that give the right people access to the right data-and only the right data-without compromising your organization's data access policies.
Flexible Authentication
Third major security enhancement in AX 2012 relates to authentication, which determines who is able to access the ERP solution. With the growing need to integrate more closely across the supply chain, authentication has become a pressing need for many of our customers who need their suppliers, partners, and customers to be able to directly interface with their ERP.
"Our new flexible authentication model makes it much easier for external users to securely access ERP data through the Enterprise Portal or other web-based applications. Building on the Windows Identity Foundation, we've extended the authentication model in AX 2012 by using open-standard application programming interfaces (APIs). This simplifies administration of these external accounts by allowing authentication using Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS), Windows Live ID or other similar methods (e.g. Forms based Authentication), without requiring the external parties to be provisioned in an Active Directory domain," the software company explains.

Movie Monday: The Amazing Spider-Man at Times Square for New Year's Eve Celebration #TheAmazingSpiderMan
Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment, co-organizers of Times Square New Year's Eve, have announced that Spider-Man, New York's very own super hero, will be named the Official Super Hero of Times Square 2014.
Spider-Man will take part in the Ball Drop celebration, and events leading up to the big night in a partnership with the upcoming movie The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
"There's no celebration like New Year's Eve in Times Square," said Marc Webb, Director of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. "There's the sense of energy and excitement that you can only get in New York and we certainly felt that energy and excitement as we shot the entire film here. The people of New York City truly embraced our production, and it's a wonderful feeling to be returning to Times Square to ring in the New Year."
Across the globe, Spider-Man fans will get a preview of the excitement awaiting them at the box office in 2014. On New Year's Eve, an exclusive clip featuring a sneak peek of the film's Times Square sequence will debut on the district's iconic video screens, as well as in the evening's broadcast pool feed and live webcast.
About The Amazing Spider-Man 2
It's great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city.
With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp.
Directed by Marc Webb. Produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach. Screen Story and Screenplay by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner. Based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
The film will be released will be released in theaters internationally beginning April 16, 2014, and domestically on May 2, 2014.

92 hours to go and counting...
May 08, 2013 by Sally Brzozowski
As we near the finish line (literally), I wanted to share some amazing numbers with you:
254+ miles - that's how far my mom and I have run since we started our training. We ran on ice, on treadmills while watching "Survivor" (me), on the beach, on the rail trail between meetings (mom), and together along the Charles River on Marathon Monday.
13:04 - that's my fastest mile to date - I expect to finish the half at about a 14:30 pace, but it's clear that we've gotten tons stronger since we started in January.
13.1 - that's how many miles we have ahead of us in Providence.
50% - that's the likelihood of rain during those miles, but we're not going to let anything stand in our way!
$6,214 - that's the amount that YOU have helped us raise to help find a cure for blood cancers. It's been incredible to have your support for this cause, and we'll be thinking of all of you as we race on Sunday.
15 years - that's how long it's been since I was diagnosed with Leukemia. At this time 15 years ago, I was entering my third month of treatment. My hair was starting to fall out, and our family had lost all sense of normalcy.
But this Sunday, just 15 years later, we're going to write a new chapter by finishing the Cox Providence Half Marathon together - with our team, our support crew, and YOU.
Thanks again for all your support - please help us reach our final goal of $6,500 by making your final gift now! Every dollar gets us closer to a cure.
We'll "see" you at the finish line!
Two weeks to go!
Apr 28, 2013 by Sally Brzozowski
Our race is in less than two weeks!
We have been running our butts off this spring - on Marathon Monday, we ran ten miles - the furthest I've ever gone. As we run, we inevitably talk about how crazy it is that we're able to be here, today, running alongside each other, when there are so many other stories my leukemia diagnosis could have written and so many people still facing blood cancers today. It's humbling and inspiring.
On May 12, we're going to leave it all on the course - but before then, we're hoping to raise $6,500! Just click to the right if you can donate, or leave a comment if you want to know about other ways to help.
Thanks to everyone who has supported us in this endeavor - we're almost there!
Fifteen years later: Running for a cure
Mar 27, 2013
A cancer survivor + her mom + 13.1 miles = a grand undertaking that needs YOUR support!
From Sally:
Fifteen years ago this spring, our family sat on the fifth floor of the hospital at Dartmouth and heard these terrible words: "You have cancer."
Those words kicked off a journey that made me who I am today - a trip that included months and then years of chemotherapy, weekends in the hospital, life-threatening complications, amazing people met along the way, and a passion for improving the lives of others.
Today, I am a healthy young woman who is totally cancer free and ready to run 13.1 miles to prove my strength and honor those who are fighting the same battles I once did. I run for Brian, for Olga, for Meredith, for Grandaddy, for Kelly, for all my campers, and for YOU. Your donation today is a symbol of your support - every dollar gets us one step closer to a cure.
From Jane:
Run 13.1 miles? Me? YES, I'm back with Team in Training, celebrating Sally's health and fighting for cures for other children.
It's easy to forget that this struggle continues. I would often like to forget. But my work at Dana-Farber and our connection to other families reminds me, constantly, that children are being diagnosed with leukemia and other cancers, every day. Team in Training is also raising money for research to find cures for diseases that have hit other wonderful people in my life: lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma.
In May, Sally and I will run a half-marathon in Providence, Rhode Island. Come cheer us on - or maybe you want to JOIN us?
Please support us by making a donation today.
Thank you!
Sally & Jane
