Update for 11/24/14
Yep, a review on a Monday. I'm trying to get back into a routine here, even if the holiday week is going to make a mess of things this week. Still, why not get a few reviews in, right? New review today for Bakersfield, Earth #1 by David Quantic & Tamra Bonvillain.
Quantic, David & Bonvillain, Tamra – Bakersfield, Earth #1
Bakersfield, Earth #1
I have one tiny problem with this comic, and I absolutely loved the rest of it. For a change, I'm going to talk about all the good stuff first, just in case anybody wanders off in the middle of the review. This is the story of an alien from Jupiter who has lived on this planet since before the start of recorded human history by taking over the bodies of humans moments after they die. Why did he/she stay for so long? Mostly cheese fries. Which implies that cheese fries were invented thousands of years before anybody thought, which would explain a lot. That timeline David gives of the important events in human history is packed with funny, so don't just skip over the page. Anyway, life goes on for hey I just realized that we never learned the real name of our hero. Huh. So life goes on for this creature until we finally make it into the 70's, where it hops into the body of a transgendered man. Some altercations take place before our hero finally stands up for him/herself, at which point he/she decides to start standing up for the little guy on a regular basis. This, unfortunately, attracts the attention of a mercenary whose job is to bring back missing aliens, and things get ugly from there. All of this was compelling as could be, and here is where I'll put my complaints. Please note that actual complaints are about the quality of the comic itself, and I have no issues there (writing was solid and Tamra did a great job with the art). So, my "complaints": he left so much out! So many lives that were all glossed over, then the events of the ending (which I don't want to spoil) that were glossed over so quickly. We never see Jupiter and there is still so much to learn about it. Which I guess means that it's a good thing that this is marked with a "#1″, right? I mean, it's not like they could have had a 500 page debut comic to tell all the backstory. Well, I'd read it, but I'm a weirdo when it comes to this stuff. So, a solid first issue that left me wanting much more story than I got. Sounds like a pretty solid recommendation to me. $5
Update for 11/19/14
Wow, has it really been almost a month since the last update? Oof, sorry. Been busier than I thought. Two new reviews today from the Mini Kus pile: Swimming Pool by Anna Vaivare and Magnetism by Roope Eronen. This week might still be a little crazy but here's hoping that I can at least get one more review up. But either way, no, I am not quitting the website. Just paid for it for another year, actually, so I'm not going anywhere.
Vaivare, Anna – Mini Kus #24: Swimming Pool
Mini Kus #24: Swimming Pool
I've long had a fascination with the people who work behind the scenes, the ones who almost nobody notices in their day to day lives. Janitors, customer service people, lifeguards, anybody who is only noticed if they mess up while doing their jobs. This comic is all about a woman who lives at a swimming pool by night and keeps everything about it clean by day. Along the way she talks about the various people she encounters on a daily basis, bits of her life that led up to her taking this job, and the dread she feels at the thought of going back to any part of her old life. It all leads up to a big reveal at the end that I'm not going to get into, as that would be cheating. Still, Anna does an excellent job of planting the seeds for the reveal along the way, and things end on a genuinely sweet moment. The art is gorgeous, as it's all painted and she does a great job of showing the various types of people who use a pool along with the fact that the water is never completely still from all the activity. It's a thoroughly enjoyable story and you should give it a look. $6
Eronen, Roope – Mini Kus #25: Magnetism
Mini Kus #25: Magnetism
People who read science fiction stories expecting the science to make total sense, please stop reading now. People who are able to read a science fiction story and think of it as a allegory for other aspects of life without getting too bogged down in the specifics, read on! This one starts off with an obviously sad young woman at a coffee shop. She is unable to get coffee and has to settle for cold water, and the place is practically deserted. Despite this fact a young man asks if he can sit with her, and she reluctantly agrees. This is when we learn that things have gone horribly wrong on this planet and that she's willing to try almost anything to get away from it. This young man was actually a businessman with a unique product: a magnet that will take you to a different place in the universe. He calculates some basics about the planet to see if it has the basic elements necessary for a human to survive, teleports one magnet to the location, and has the customer swallow the other magnet to get there. Surviving the trip is not explained, but please refer back to the first sentence of this review if you have any qualms about that. Anyway, this somehow manages to be a cute story about utter desperation, and that final image of ____ (thought I was going to slip there, didn't you?) ended things on a hilarious note. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. $6
Update for 10/23/14
Yep, things got very busy again, how did you guess? New review today for Memoirs of a Muse #4: Akhenaten by Gail Kern. Also I have one small press t-shirt for that big Wizard convention at the end of the month, but that still leaves a couple of days without anything in particular in mind. Just in case anybody wanted some free advertising for their comic/to give me a free t-shirt.
Kern, Gail – Memoirs of a Muse #4: Akhenaten
Memoirs of a Muse #4: Akhenaten
OK, I hate to start one of these off with a complaint, but there are more than a few pages in this one where the copy cuts off words on the edge of the page. Which isn't the worst thing in the world, granted, but by the fourth issue of a series you should really have that sort of thing figured out. That's a lesson to everybody making comics, free of charge: get the basics right please! All kinds of people (me included) could pick this up in a comics store, notice something like that and put it right back down. Of course, these are review copies, so I didn't have to worry about the price. Anyway! In this issue the Muse is still waiting for a Pharaoh to come along with some artistic talent so that she can join her love in the afterlife. The visuals in this one were striking, definitely the best of the series, but I must confess that I'm losing the thread of the story a bit. The Muse is taken from a guy who gets assassinated and bides her time to find the right pharaoh, so we see quite a bit of time passing. Eventually she finds her man, but he starts going blind, which complicates her plans. From there we see a conversation between her and the god who had agreed to help this blind pharaoh, which is all done against a sheer black background, which is also a chance for some of the conversation to seep out the sides of the pages. Things get a bit chaotic from there, and in theory the next issue will be set in Greece. I'm still intrigued to see where this whole thing is going, but it's hard to escape the sense that it's meandering a bit. As I can't find a hint of these books online that may be a moot point, but I'm interested in seeing more if any more are forthcoming.
Update for 10/13/14
See? Back to reviews again. Two new ones today for more of the Latvian Mini Kus series: Lucky by Oskars Pavlovskis and Domino by Ruta & Anete Daubure. And hey, I got press credentials for Wizard Con here in Ohio at the end of the month. That's generally a much larger con than I usually attend, but I figured why not, at the very least it would be an interesting look into how the rich and/or famous types live. I've been trying to think of ways to promote the small press stuff while I'm there, so I thought that if you had such a comic and also had t-shirts, maybe I could just wear that for a day? Yes, I'm aware of the fact that this sounds like I'm just asking for free t-shirts, which I guess is kind of true, but at least I also have good intentions. If you think this sounds like a great idea, e-mail me and we'll figure something out.
Daubure, Ruta & Anete – Mini Kus #23: Domino
What happens if the person who was responsible for maintaining the balance in the world took a day off? That's the premise here, as our hero Rober generally does what he can to keep things even. He can use any object, great or small, to maintain this balance. He's never seen, but he is crucial, and one day he decides to rest. He eats cookies on a train because, as the text says, "he thinks that is what the usual people do." He notices something that could be his concern, but he leaves it alone, as it's his day off. Then somebody stops him as he's getting off the train to give him his hat… but Rober didn't own a hat. And with that, the balance is thrown off with the guy who is supposed to be keeping the balance, but Rober is helpless in the face of what comes next. We also get to meet the "bad guys" and hear a bit of their reasoning for why they do what they do. It's a fascinating story, but I have to at least mention how incredible the artwork is here. Ruta is all about big, expressive colors, and every page of this teems with life. Granted, Ruta and Anete are sisters so them having a clear connection isn't the oddest thing in the world, but it does make this book what it is. If you do get this (and you should), take a few extra minutes to let the images soak into your head. Trust me, it's worth it. $6
Pavlovskis, Oskars – Mini Kus #22: Lucky
We've all gotten to see various "interview" shows in recent years (The Office, Parks & Recreation) where we get to know fundamentally decent people. Oh sure, they're wacky because they're on tv, but you know, you're unlikely to find a genuinely terrible person in those types of shows. Well, meet Lucky. This one starts off with Lucky being interviewed by an unseen person. Lucky tells us a bit about his average day and his basic philosophy in life, but we don't really see it in action until Lucky tears the side mirror off a car. From here he uses one of several phones (or an internet cafe) to sell the mirror online and, as he's stealing them off cars, there's always somebody in the area who can use a mirror. Things go downhill for Lucky from there, as we also see him mugging a guy and pretending to get injured after being "hit" by a car, and all the while his interviewer is trying to get Lucky to see what he's doing to other people and to change his ways. Finally the two of them have a confrontation, and I can say no more without giving away the whole thing. I'll just say that you're not going to see it coming, and I feel confident in saying that even if my saying that will instantly put you on your guard, expecting a twist. Even so, you will no see it coming. That ending is more than a little bit haunting, but Oskars earns every bit of it. Check it out if you want to learn how to be a professional asshole, or if perhaps you just want a little more insight into their existence. $6
Update for 10/9/14
New review today for Slaves of the Megapode #3 by Rob Jackson. I have mentioned that this time of year was going to be chaotic, right? Which means that reviews may be a little more scarce than usual for a few weeks. On the other hand, now is a great time to send me your comic to review, because I plan on tearing through that pile once I finally get some free time. I should have time for more next week, but it's impossible to know for sure this close to an election.
Jackson, Rob – Slaves of the Megapode #3
Slaves of the Megapode #3
Oh Megapode, what exactly are you? That question is answered in this final issue, more or less, and Rob even manages to sneak in an alarming epilogue on the back cover, but I'm getting ahead of myself. In the last issue our heroes were confronted by some Roman soldiers, although that fizzles out without a struggle. They're arrested and kept under heavy guard, but there are many hidden passages and they manage to escape to get a better look at what's really happening. From there they uncover where the conspiracy is coming from, which also explains why it's impossible to do much of anything to stop it. This is also the point where I have to stop talking about the plot or I'll get into spoilers, and nobody wants that. I'll say instead that Rob wraps this up in a thoroughly satisfactory fashion; he has more or less mastered the art of the comics trilogy. Unless he's implying that there's more to come with that epilogue, in which case never mind. I like to think that he went with that last page to preserve some ambiguity, but I am most definitely not the author, so that's just a guess. I wonder if Rob has ever considered some sort of personal omnibus? Marvel and DC have been releasing 1000+ pages of certain titles or crossovers, and it's nice to have everything in one place. Rob certainly has a large enough back catalog that he could put out his own edition. Of course, money would be a big factor, but that's why Kickstarter exists, right? Anyway, it's another solid series from the man, and another one that you should check out immediately if you have not already done so.
Update for 9/30/14
New reviews today for two more comics from the Mini Kus pile: Jungle Night by Renata Gasiorowska and Crater Lake by Jean de Wet. Renata's website appears to be Latvian, so you might have some trouble with the language. But videos are universal, and she has a few of those posted. Things are still more than a little bit chaotic for me, but I'll get reviews up whenever possible.
Gasiorowska, Renata – Mini Kus #21: Jungle Night
Does it make you crazy or depressed if you just want to be alone after a certain amount of time spent with a large group of friends? That's the question that Renata asks in this comic, and I think she comes up with a pretty compelling answer. This one starts with our hero, Lili, waking up in the hospital. She has just been found after three days of being lost in the forest and spends the comic trying to explain why she "ran away," and why she doesn't think of it as running away. There's a tradition of the youth all going into the forest together to reconnect to their roots. All of these characters are animals that have evolved to walk upright, wear clothes and talk, so the adults think that it's important to keep this tradition. The kids, as kids do, see it more as an excuse to go into the forest with a large group of friends to drink and have fun. Anyway, all is going well, the kids are having fun, but Lili is feeling more and more disconnected to the group. Finally she has that moment at the party (that I think most people have at least a few times in their lives) where she notices that everybody else has paired up or is talking to each other, but she's off on her own. Which makes her think that she could just get up and walk away without anybody noticing, so that's what she does. But does that make her depressed? She clearly doesn't think of herself that way, and it's certainly a natural enough instinct. Your opinions may vary, but I know where I stand on this one. $6
de Wet, Jean – Mini Kus #20: Crater Lake
Oh silent comics, you do vex me so. For those of you who are new to the site, I've showed my ignorance on the meanings of certain silent comics several times over the 13+ years that I've been reviewing comics. Sometimes I get it, sometimes I don't, and sometimes I think I do but actually don't. That last option is the most amusing, at least in hindsight. Anyway, this is all stalling so that I can avoid talking about this comic, as I had very little idea of what was happening before I read the back. The comic itself is a series of scenes, told mostly over two page spreads, of several happenings around a town as a meteor shower (?) is happening. Most of these scenes are shown at such a distance that you could plausibly come up with several reasons for why they're doing what they're doing and then, to me at least, things ended rather abruptly. The back of the comic helpfully mentions the various things that they're doing, but I had a hard time going back into the comic and picking out which pages depict which events. It's still a gorgeous book, but I was more impressed with the ideas going on than I was with the execution of them. Then again, I do have a sporadic and inconsistent dislike of silent comics, so take that into consideration when reading this review. $6
Update for 9/25/14
It's the final Tarn Thursday! New review today for Tarn #5: Bich Bird by Sam Spina. Now I need to find some other ongoing series to review. Also, one more day for the Top Shelf sale! Me, I'm getting another copy of The Years Have Pants by Eddie Campbell just so I can have two of them in case I want to loan one of them out. Yeah, surprise, the guy who's written comics reviews for 13+ years now is a bit of a comics geek!
Spina, Sam – Tarn #5: Bich Bird
Tarn #5: Bich Bird
Warning! Don't flip this comic over unless you want to have the ending spoiled for you. Such as it is, and it's not like knowing this one detail would ruin your enjoyment of the rest of the series, but I thought I'd better throw that out there. Anyway, the secret of Tarn is revealed here, at least a little bit. Either that or it was never really a mystery, it was just a reading comprehension problem on my end. Things start off with the aftermath of the crash of Titanic 2, and all of our heroes have managed to survive the flight. Just barely in some cases, but they all made it. The Bich Bird comes down to make fun of the guy who planned Titanic 2, Sans finally gets somebody to understand him, Pigboss finds love, and Mr. Futts (after coming back from the dead) runs off in search of as many butts as he can find. Frankly, I see a spin-off comic for Mr. Futts, as we don't see him again until the end of the comic, and his entire rampage is left to the imagination of the reader. Sam did a nice job of bringing this odd crew together and somehow managing to end all of their stories in a satisfying fashion. I'm still waiting for him to make a crappy comic, but so far the man has been a damned comics master, and you should be buying his new books as they come out to keep giving him reasons to make these funny books. Because sooner or later he'll take his talents to a field where he is financially compensated in a manner appropriate to his talents, so let's delay that day as long as possible! $1 (I think $5 for the set, that makes sense anyway)
Update for 9/23/14
New reviews today for two books from the Mini Kus series: Inverso by Berliac and This No Place To Stay by Michael Jordan (not that one). They sent me a bunch of recent comics from this series so I'll review a couple of them here and there as I get time. I have mentioned that from now until about mid-October is one of the busiest times of the year at the Board of Elections, right? OK, good. Also buy stuff from the big Top Shelf Comix sale! You only have until Friday and they have all kinds of great comics for cheap, including many for $3 or even $1.
Berliac – Mini Kus #19: Inverso
Mini Kus #19: Inverso
What's worth blowing up your relationship over? If your job is to locate and place tracking collars on young jaguars in an effort to increase their population, finding more jaguars would seem like a typical day at the office. But if you had credible reports of something the natives were calling a negative jaguar, well, that might be enough to torpedo the relationship. Things start off in this one with an argument with the couple (although we never see the lady), which ends when the male leaves town to try and find this jaguar. From there he goes deeper and deeper, both mentally and physically, in his efforts to learn more about this creature and to canvas the jungle to narrow down the places where this beast could be living. Theories of what this thing might be abound, and quixotic hunts like this rarely end well. Then again, this is a hunt for a beast that can only be seen by its spots, and then only at night. It's a thoroughly engaging story, and it leaves you with a lot to think about when you're done. Give it a chance, is what I'm saying. $6
Jordan, Michael – Mini Kus #18: This No Place To Stay
Mini Kus #18: This No Place To Stay
OK, it's almost certainly cheating to put the synopsis on here from the back of the comic, but I just can't resist. So: "This No Place To Stay is a semi-fictional, semi-biographical story by the German artist Michael jordan. His bearded alter ego travels through a coffee cup into a labyrinth inside a hospital laboratory. Hopefully the wound in the nurse's hand can rescue him…" And no, those ellipses are not me letting the synopsis trail off, that's just how they ended it. Why put the entire thing in the review? Because I couldn't have put it better myself, and because it raises many more questions than it answers. Things start off with our bearded hero (and I am dying to know which parts of this are biographical) going up a long staircase to enter a cave/mountain wall/waiting room. From here he is meant to be processed, but is told to wait in the cafe, where he sees other sleeping people, is told that sleeping is not allowed, and wakes up in a hospital with his arm in a sling. From here we see the creepy people in charge of the hospital, the nurse who wants to help (it also features a few nurses who see no point in helping), and our hero's eventual attempt at escape. The whole thing is delightfully surreal and more than a little claustrophobic. No, I'm not sure how that happens in a comic with plenty of wide open spaces either, but trust me, that's what I was feeling. It's gorgeous, it's haunting and I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. Sounds like the perfect comic to me! $6

Defenders of Wildlife has been fortunate enough to welcome Joel Sartore (www.joelsartore.com) to our Board of Directors this year. His passion for wildlife conservation takes him all over the world and is prominently reflected in his photographs, which show the vast array of wildlife that are threatened with extinction and the beauty and uniqueness of each creature in a way that words never could. Recently one of Joel's ongoing endeavors called the Biodiversity Project was recently featured on NBC's nightly news. Using his photography Joel hopes to make people understand that for many of Earth's creatures, time is running out. Half of the world's plant and animal species will soon be threatened with extinction. The goal of the Biodiversity Project is simple: to show what's at stake, and to get people to care, while there's still time to save them. 2 Responses to "Joel Sartore's 'Biodiversity Project' on NBC" Bradley Jones May 8th, 2012 Would you please consider covering the plight of the Humboldt Marten?

We're in a bit of a lull for Android Wear devices. All three launch watches have been released and the second wave is still on the way. You may be wondering, have the app developers slowed down? Hell no, and how dare you ask such a leading question in your head just how? It's okay, though. We forgive you. As penance, read the following zillion words about all the new apps for Android Wear from the last few weeks.
Another week is just getting underway, but do not despair as you head off to the office for another stint of backbreaking labor. You can always unwind with some apps on your phone, that lovely little slab of plastic and glass that has given you oh so many hours of entertainment. It's all right there at your fingertips, and now you can get a little more stuff for your phone for less money.
The camera app packed inside of CyanogenMod 11S, the version of the ROM that launched on the OnePlus One, has found its way onto the Play Store. People who own that particular handset can now look for camera updates to appear alongside all of their other apps. If any of you head over to Google Play right this moment, you may even see that there's one already waiting for you.
If you turn to the Play Store without a OnePlus One running the latest version of CM11S, don't expect to get your hands on anything.
In the Android Police teardown of the latest Google Play Services support app posted yesterday, Cody Toombs noted that the "Nearby Players" feature we've been spotting for a few weeks seems ready to go. And lo and behold, several users have seen the feature become active on their phones, heading to Google+ and our own tips box to spread the joy around. Check your own app to see if it's enabled, though the distribution seems somewhat random - we're seeing reports from players in Mexico and Italy at the moment.
As we've noted before, Facer is pretty cool: it's a way to make or load custom watch faces and easily apply them to your Android Wear device. While the Facer app has its own built-in gallery of submitted watch faces, FaceRepo is an impressively varied alternative that allows you to browse watch faces on the web. User-submitted designs are split into round and square watch faces for the Moto 360 and G Watch/Gear Live, respectively.
Xposed GEL Settings, or XGELS, is an Xposed Framework module that aims to make the default Google Now launcher (AKA the Google Experience Launcher) just as customizable as alternatives like Nova. The latest update adds a handful of new options for customization nuts, including tweaks to the icon display on the homescreen and app drawer. You can download XGELS via the Play Store, but you'll need a rooted device and the Xposed Framework (sideload) to make it work.
The SuperSU root permissions manager is probably one of the most widely-distributed power user tools on Android at this point, though it won't be breaking the Top Ten lists in the Play Store any time soon. Developer Chainfire has issued an update to version 2.13, which includes a huge list of additional and adjusted features. As far as usability is concerned, the biggest change is probably the fact that the app is now available on the Amazon Appstore.
I hear you. We have plenty of news curation apps on Android and we don't need yet another one. But despite the countless options, there's still room for an app that does its job well, looks good at it, and doesn't try to reinvent the wheel with algorithms and predictions that inevitably fall short of their promise.
Source might be this app. Coming from Jacob Klinker of Klinker Apps, the same guy who brought us the Talon Twitter client, the Blur launcher, and EvolveSMS, Source already has a reputation to live up to.

You spend enough time in Asia as an Irishman and you give up expecting to find Irish stuff. You know you'll stumble across something here or there, but at the best of times all you can find is a can of Guinness and a Westlife song. Chiang Mai, despite its large expat population and even larger tourist numbers was no better than Korea, or anywhere else I've been. I had hoped for half a day or so, but any hopes I had were soon dashed by the obvious.
It was one of the most physically taxing things I've done in a while – a mountain hike up one of Daegu's beautiful peaks, Mt. Apsan. It was also something that I only could have done with the help, encouragement and understanding of my fellow hikers, most of whom barely knew any English.
We took advantage of the beautiful weather one Saturday to head down to Jeolla-do, the south-west area of Korea. The fog seeped back into the mountains, the air smelled like dirt and trees, we moved through highways and roads that would leave us southbound. We were pleasantly surprised to find a persimmon farm.
Did anyone else get this email below? Who wouldn't be persuaded by some PR firm hack with no idea about East Asia giving suggestions she doesn't understand by robo-email? Yuck. Maybe I'm reading it the wrong way – maybe getting yelled at by the Korean government about nomenclature means someone actually reads my blog. Hah!
"Dear Robert,
Damn… It's been a long time – apologies and all the usual garbage excuses about being busy. Let's get into it.

After two weeks of waiting, I was asked to come back to meet with another member of the marketing staff then prepare a marketing assessment to present back to four members of HR and Marketing. After all of the interviews and a strenuous presentation, I had to follow up with them to be told that I would not be offered the position. I (politely) asked for feedback since I had spent over 6 hours in the offices interviewing, so I could at least know what area I could improve on, but never received a response. Although everyone I met with was very nice, I'm afraid of what the work environment would be like with the lack of response and accountability during just the interview process.

Tevez looking to help Boca Juniors
Boca Juniors was the first top club that Carlos Tevez signed and performed with. At the age of 16 Tevez had already made his debut as a player of Boca Juniors. The Argentinean attacker went on making more appearances and scoring more goals until he was offloaded to the Brazilian club Corinthians for a fee of US$16 million.
His career extended on from different clubs in distinct leagues from around including the Premier League where he played in Manchester United and Manchester City until finally arriving to the Italian side Juventus.
Even at the age of 30, Carlos Tevez is a consistent goal-scorer and arguably one of the most important players for the Italian club.
Despite having played in a number of top clubs from all over Europe, Carlos Tevez is an eternal fan and supporter of the first club he joined, which was Boca Juniors and he has expressed his desire to retire in the Argentinean side. Daniel Angelici is the president of the club and he said that Boca Juniors will be open to the idea of allowing Carlos Tevez spend the last few years of his career at the club where he made his debut at the age of 16.
"Let's see if Tevez comes back next year, I'll talk to him and see if it's a good time. He wants to end his career at Boca. I am convinced he will join Boca when his current contract ends; he will end his career at Boca. He gave me his word he will return, but he won't be our next signing as he is still under contract with Juventus." Daniel Angelici said.
Not too long ago, Carlos Tevez responded to questions that were launched at him concerning where he would like the spend the remaining years and seasons of his career and the Argentinean attacker did not hesitate in saying that he would like to spend it with Boca Juniors.
"My future? I confirm what I've always said, that I want to end my career at Boca Juniors, but I am taking it one day at a time." Tevez told the press.
The current contract of Carlos Tevez with Juventus expires in 2016.

Boca Juniors Sack Bianchi
Argentine club Boca Juniors have decided to part company with manager Carlos Bianchi after just five matches of the season. This decision has been taken because of Boca Juniors' poor form in the season that could threaten their position in the league once again. Regarded as one of the top clubs in South America, Boca Juniors have not made a great start to the new season. The team has managed just two wins in the last five league matches and this run also includes three defeats. As a result, the club sits 14th in the table. Even though there is still a long way to go in the season, South American club usually tend to change their manager at the slightest hint of poor form.
The club president Daniel Angelici says that he has taken the decision along with the board of directors and it was very difficult to come to this conclusion. Apart from the poor start in the league campaign, Boca Juniors were also recently knocked out of the Copa Argentina. This was after a 2-0 defeat suffered at the hands of Huracán. It is understood that Boca Juniors decided to part company with their manager before the match against Vélez Sarsfield, but the official decision has come only after the match.
"We have to inform you of a very difficult decision taken unanimously by the board. First I would like to thank Carlos personally for accepting the challenge to return to the club for the third time. It is with great pain that we have taken the decision to rescind Carlos' contract, but we understand that we have to bring this spell to an end and tomorrow start to look for a trainer," said Daniel Angelici. Boca Juniors are unlikely to have a new manager before the Copa Sudamericana match against Rosario Central.

Tevez wants to end career with Boca Juniors
Former Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has reiterated his love for Boca Juniors and insisted he wants to end his career at the Argentine giants.
Tevez, who currently plays for Italian giants Juventus, has said that he has his heart set on a move to his boyhood club where he made his name after making his debut as a professional as a fresh faced 16 year old back in 2001.
The former Manchester United and West Ham United striker left Boca for the Brazilian Serie A with Corinthians in a big money move in 2004 before moving to the Premier League along with Argentine team mate Javier Mascherano in 2006 to link up with West Ham United.
The 30 year old, who joined Juventus last season, has been in fine form for the Italian giants as he helped them secure their third successive Serie A title in his very first season in Italy. He still has two year left on a three year deal and has expressed a willingness to return to Argentina with Boca Juniors when the deal expires.
Speaking to a Spanish newspaper, Tevez said that the only club he could ever imagine himself playing for in Argentina is Boca. He added that it is known that it is his dream to return to the club, but he mentioned that he doesn't when it will be. However, he knows one thing for sure and that is he will retire at the club.
Tevez scored nineteen goals in his first season at Serie A as Juventus clinched their 32nd title but the Italian club doesn't want to part ways with the player anytime soon and will move quickly to offer a new contract to ward delay his move to his beloved Boca Juniors as long as they possibly can.

Bianchi Wants To Do Better For Boca Juniors.
Carlos Bianchi was appointed as the coach of Boca Juniors in 2013 but the Argentinean tactician has failed on securing a single title and the current season will see them finishing in the middle section of the league while their rivals River Plate are one the verge of clinching the silverware.
Bianchi is recognized by FIFA as Argentina's top-scorer in the history of first division tournaments of the world as he was able to score 385 goals during his playing career but he has not enjoyed the same kind of success being in charge of Boca Juniors.
The 65 years old manager spoke about his situation in the club in a press conference.
''The fans of the club are aware that if I leave Boca Juniors I will not be coming back. I feel more motivated to win than a few months before, I want to give the fans something to cheer for''. Carlos Bianchi said.
Although it has been less than 2 years since Bianchi was appointed as the head coach of Boca Juniors, the pressure and rumors are already starting to build up as to whether or not he will be remaining in his current role for any significant period of time longer and the president of the club, Daniel Angelici has given Bianchi an ultimatum.
''We believe in the capacity of Carlos Bianchi but the results have not demonstrated it. Everyone in the club respects him and knows about everything that he has to offer for Boca Juniors but we need positive results. In June we will start evaluating how the club is situated and take a decision as to who is going to be in charge of the squad''. Daniel Angelici stated.
There already are rumors of Gerardo Martino being the next coach of Boca Juniors if Carlos Bianchi is unable on securing positive results in the upcoming matches of the club.

The manager of River Plate, Ramon Diaz, is happy with how his team has performed in the previous few matches, but, he has admitted that it's close to impossible for them to win the league from here on.
River Plate's performance in the first half of the ongoing season was pretty mediocre and thus, they got pushed behind so much that even with some impressive outings in the recent past, they have not been able to get themselves back into the race for the title.
In their last three matches, the Millionaires have defeated three fantastic teams in the Argentine top flight i.e. Lanus, Boca Juniors and Newell's Old Boys. Now, in their next match on the upcoming Sunday, they will take on Belgrano de Cordoba.
Although, Diaz refused to say anything about what will be his first XI in that game but, it is believed that he would not make too many changes in the XI that had taken the ground first up in the last match against Newell's Old Boys.
Speaking to the press yesterday, Diaz said, "We have secured three consecutive wins and thus, the spirit in the camp has gone high, but, it's very difficult for us to lift the trophy even with so many positive results of late. However, yes, it's important to keep getting those points so that we finish well."
"In the top flight here in Argentina, you have to be alert all the time, otherwise, you go down. There is no room for complacency here."
River plate has played 30 matches in the Argentine Primera Division so far this season out of which they have won 11, lost 11, while, the remaining 8 matches have ended in the form of draws. They have to play 8 more matches.

text: Home > Mental health > Brain > News Updated 11 February 2013 New brain-test app The iPhone app for dichotic listening is called iDichotic and was launched on the App Store in 2011, where it can be downloaded for free. Some one year later, more than 1 000 people have downloaded the app, and roughly half have sent their test results to the researchers' database. 0 Ask CyberShrink » Blog Bipolar journey » Talk Heart to heart forum » Quiz Are you a hypochondriac? » How brain injury affects you Transparent brains Two years ago, researcher Josef Bless was listening to music on his phone when he suddenly had an idea. "I noticed that the sounds of the different instruments were distributed differently between the ears, and it struck me that this was very similar to the tests we routinely use in our laboratory to measure brain function. In dichotic listening, each ear is presented with a different syllable at the same time (one to the left and one to the right ear) and the listener has to say which syllable seems clearest. The test indicates which side of the brain is most active during language processing," Bless explains. Josef Bless is working on a PhD in psychology at the University of Bergen. He is a member of the Bergen fMRI Group, an interdisciplinary research group headed by Professor Kenneth Hugdahl, who has received a European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant for his brain research. The iPhone app for dichotic listening is called iDichotic and was launched on the App Store in 2011, where it can be downloaded for free. Some one year later, more than 1 000 people have downloaded the app, and roughly half have sent their test results to the researchers' database. How the research was done The researchers analysed the first 167 results they received and compared them with the results of 76 individuals tested in laboratories in Norway and Australia. The results have been published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology. "We found that the results from the app were as reliable as those of the controlled laboratory tests. This means that smartphones can be used as a tool for psychological testing, opening up a wealth of exciting new possibilities," says Bless. "The app makes it possible to gather large volumes of data easily and inexpensively. I think we will see more and more psychological tests coming to smartphones," he adds. The researchers have also developed a special version ofiDichotic for patients with schizophrenia who suffer from auditory hallucinations (i.e. hear "voices"). The app helps in training patients to improve their focus, so that when they hear voices, they are better able to shut them out. "Using a mobile app, patients can be tested and receive training at home, instead of having to come to our laboratory," says Bless. The app iDichotic has been developed in collaboration with Professor Kenneth Hugdahl, Doctor René Westerhausen, and Magne Gudmundsen. Test yourself You can download iDichotic from the App Store. The listening test takes three minutes and tells you which side of your brain is most active in language processing. Most people primarily use the left side of the brain, but for a minority (including many left-handed people) the right side of the brain is more involved in language processing. In addition, the test measures attention when the task is to focus on one ear at a time. You can send your results to the researchers if you want. iDichoticis currently available for iOS devices.

Wonderful stay! They made sure we had our special room: the pelican unit, this time two floors higher than the last. I was very pleased that they made sure our "tradition" of spending our anniversary weekend there was possible. At first I did not think it was going to happen. They did not have the room I was looking for on the internet. I called the resort and they made sure we had our special room on the highest floor possible. The rooms were spotless! Thank you for making our weekend very special indeed!!

- Publisher: Hudson Entertainment
- Release Date: Nov 18, 2010

Jan 4, 2011Deca Sports Freedom is merely an O.K effort and one that fails to ignite any real passion.
Jan 11, 2011Sports Island Freedom is a bad game. This Hudson's franchise wasn't good on the Wii, and now it's really clumsy even on Xbox 360, due to its control problems. The sports selection is quite good, but the final result doesn't match Kinect Sports'.
Jan 6, 2011If you were to judge the capabilities of Kinect based solely on Sports Island Freedom, you'd be likely to think the device was a horrible failure. The menu is a mess that's hard to navigate, and things just go downhill from there. The controls are awful across almost all disciplines. Get Kinect Sports instead.

Jan 9, 2011Hey everyone, DarkZX here, I just want to say before you read this review, this game will piss you off in so many ways imaginable. Anyways continuing, the game introduces 10 sports, all of which are hard to play due to horrible controls. It was a ridiculous excuse for an idea that has been overused many many times. The only reason I am not giving this game a 0 or a 1 is because it is a good filler game (game to let out your anger on while waiting for a new game). There isn't anything else to say about this game.
Final Rating: 21/100
Consensus: Don't buy it.... seriously buy another game that actually has a little something called good controls.

My username is the same there (DarkZX). Just request a review from me, I review video games, movies and music. Cya guys later!… Expand
Mar 22, 2014Probably one of the worst games that I have ever played, the controls were awful you have to be really precise with your movements and thanks to kinect's poor tracking I failed a bunch of times. BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY!!!!… Expand
May 2, 2011When I first threw this game into my 360, I was a little excited...I wanted to see if a game with varying sports had any sort of depth. I was sincerely let down, the game lacks any linear gameplay, you can fight and play against the same opponents over and over again, mainly because defeating a character does not push you forward, instead you go back to the menu screen where you can again choose play.
The controls, what to say about the controls...well first of all, I am not sure what XBOX was doing allowing this game to hit the market. I have seen the Hudson logo before, but this time I acquainted anger with its presence. Half of my 30 minutes of play were trying to navigate back and forth through the menus while aiming at the right options. Some options you hover over take a second or two to choose. Others just click as soon as you pass over them so you are stuck trying to go manipulate the hand to go around certain options very slowly.pfffft.
DarkZX said it well. This is by far the worst game I have ever played. I bought 5 kinect games with my system and this is the first one I tried. (Deca Sports) I am hoping the others are better. Fingers crossed.10/100 and next time you beta test a game, please make sure you can navigate through the menu.… Expand

DJ Carisma is changing the game…and in more ways than one. The married mommy of one [adooooorable daughter] has not only managed to be a key player in the resurgence of west coast's hip-hop domination, but she's done it as a female in a man's world without being half-naked and using her looks as a crutch. In fact, you're far more likely to catch the Power 106 DJ in a pair of kicks and a hoodie than you ever will in a dress and some heels, but I guarantee your favorite artist – from Chris Brown to Tyga to YG – will show Carisma a ton more love than you'll ever see one of these "Instagram models" get.
Fresh on the heels of releasing her debut single "Anyway" featuring Sage The Gemini, Tory Lanez, Eric Bellinger and Mishon, I hopped on the phone with Carisma to chop it up about everything from her forthcoming album (due out this fall on RPM MSC) to balancing being a mom with such a busy career, who she feels are the next big things coming out of the West and more.

Matthew Williams the founder of popular clothing line #BEEN TRILL# is surprised on how big his brand has become. What started out as DJ's looking to spin the tracks they wanted to hear while in London has turned into one of the most popular street-wear brands over the past few years. In just a few years it has taken a stage-front in street-wear clothing collaborating with major store's even collaborating on a limited edition 40oz hat. Its biggest collaboration is now with the high-end luxury department store, Harvey Nichols. Williams recently did an interview with Dazed Digital and talked about how Kanye West gave him his first break.
It's the "Heavy Hitter!" DJ Camilo filmed a segment for Telemundo's "Faces in Radio" segment. The series is scheduled to air tomorrow, Friday, May 2nd. Find out more details below.

Douglas County farmer and tractor dealer Elmer Johanning arrived at his final resting place in a style befitting his life.
Ten Case tractors led the procession to Lawrence's Memorial Park Cemetery Tuesday for Johanning, who died Saturday at the age of 91.
Johanning, who was known locally as "The Case Man" after selling Case tractors for 35 years, approved the plans before he died, saying the tractor procession sounded like "a good celebration."
Johanning's daughter, Mary Wakeman, said one of tractors that her father owned carried him to the cemetery.
Johanning, who served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II, was buried with military honors.

The Westwood Regional School District is the only K-12 regional school district in Bergen County, serving approximately 2,700 students from the Borough of Westwood and the Township of Washington. The district is composed of four K-5 "neighborhood" elementary schools, a 6-7 Middle School, and a 8-12 Jr./Sr. High School that also houses much of the district's special education services, along with our preschool program. Our primary goal is to establish high quality, comprehensive programs that prepare all students to be productive and creative citizens. To successfully implement such programs, the district needs to involve family, school, and community members who ultimately share responsibility for the program's success. For more information about each of our schools, please click on the individual school tab above.
The Westwood Regional School District would like to wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. Classes will resume on Monday, December 1, 2014.
