The association
The association KajiaN is a group of Asian culture fans who give their best to share their passion for Asia with the public through the world of Japanimation (Manga, Anime, Cosplay…). Indeed, it is an excellent start, especially for young generations, to propose a different way of considering this culture.
KajiaN proposes workshops and other activities to allow Asian culture fans to discover it even further. Willing to help everyone discover Manga and Asian culture, the association goes in schools, museums and other unexpected places to show all its aspects.
Of course they also take part in festivals such as Japan Expo where the whole team organizes loads of fun activities on their booth and on stage.

I've been living with my HTPC for just over a month now, and I've come up with enough new observations to warrant a new installment (well, maybe enough to fill a bunch of articles) so. . . behold!
Been setting up your own living-room computer? Read on for my latest tips, tricks, and plain old complaints. I think most of you will find some of these useful. And some of you — I hope — will find most.
What is the deal with receivers? Read that again in Seinfeld's voice, if you didn't already. I've had three different receivers through my system in the past month (it was a busy month), and each one was differently lame.
I'm not doing HDMI audio with my HTPC yet, so here's what I needed to do: Assign the multi-channel analog input as the audio for an HDMI input. That doesn't seem hard, does it? I can understand inexpensive receivers not having reassignable inputs, but one wouldn't allow any analog audio with an HDMI input. It wasn't in the menu. Another wouldn't allow the multi-channel input to have HDMI video (stereo analog only). The Onkyo I have in there now lets you assign an HDMI input to the multi-channel input, but only if you enter the setup screen after you've selected DVD/BD input. I figured that one out by accident. I'm no fan of HDMI, but it sure makes a case for itself with this nonsense.
This is a rant for an entirely different article, but how is it, 30+ years after the advent of receivers, that they still are so staggeringly user unfriendly? If I have to pick up the owner's manual to figure something out: product design fail. Have you ever read an owner's manual from Apple? Didn't think so. Point proven.
Being a couple of years old, my HTPC is running Vista 64. I never understood the hatred of this operating system. Once you turn off all the Microsoft stupidness, it worked fine and was very stable. Well, at least in this computer. The store-bought work PC I'm writing this on inexplicably takes 10+ minutes to boot up every morning. The HTPC? Two minutes, maybe. That was the first store-bought desktop computer I'd purchased in 10 years, and likely the last.
Where was I? Oh, I haven't played around with Windows 7 yet, but in Vista the audio setup is kind of buried. Usually you can right-click on the little speaker icon in the lower right and select "Playback Devices." For some reason, the HTPC didn't have this option, so I had to dig for it in the "Control Panel" under "Hardware and Sound" and then "Sound." You need to do this to get it to output 5.1 channels, and there's a handy channel test that showed me all the connections I'd made were backwards
If you're looking for a wireless mouse the Logitech Performance MX is uhh-mazing. I use it a minimum of 8 hours per day and charge maybe once a week (via usb-cable, you could also swap in your own battery if you wanted). Not to mention it tracks on everything I've ever tried, including glass.
Prior to the Performance MX I was using Logitech's G7 which was the first wireless mouse I had ever used that didn't feel disconnected from the PC. After I wore the buttons out on the mouse, and long after Logitech stopped supporting it, I bit the bullet and bought the pricey Performance MX.
I personally feel spoiled from the G7, further spoiled by the Performance MX, and actually get frustrated when using a wired mouse since it feels like it drags as the cord stretches to it's limits or bunches too much, or just slightly twists it when I let go to type.
Please note that I do not work for Logitech, nor receive compensation from them, though I feel that I should, with how much I talk about them -- except for the piece of junk the DiNovo Mini has been in my experience due to bad connectivity.
OK, there are a couple of things you mentioned in your article that made me want to comment.
First, you REALLY need to ditch Vista. Windows 7 has HUGE improvements in stability, as well as enhancements to Windows Media Center. Most importantly Windows 7 has support for the CableCard tuners that just hit the market! A CableCard tuner will enable you to connect your Media Center PC to your cable system and will allow you to tune in ALL channels, including HD and premium channels like HBO and Showtime. Until recently, your ONLY option to get a CableCard tuner was to buy a new PC that had been certified (as a whole system) through CableLabs. Now you can buy the Centon InfiniTV 4 tuner PCI card on Amazon or Newegg for $299. Another option is the SiliconDust HD Homerun Prime, which will connect to your home network. Then any PC on the network will have access to the tuners. Currently, the HD Homerun Prime six tuner model is available for $499, but they are making a 3 tuner version that will be available for $249 that will be released "soon". Keep in mind that you will be limited to a total of 4 tuners on Windows 7 unless you have a special OEM only version that unlocks the ability to use 6 tuners. (This OEM version isnt available to most people, its being restricted to companies like Niveus and VidaBox that make high end Media Center PCs) Continued in next post....
Second, you mentioned playing a video game on your "media center". This is a HUGE no-no! For best results, keep the PC dedicated to media center use ONLY. When you first set up the PC, do a FULL format and CLEAN installation of Windows. Download and install all of the latest drivers you need, and install all available Windows updates. Next...this is the important part...TURN OFF AUTOMATIC UPDATES! You do NOT want your computer rebooting randomly in the middle of the night after an update! This is a sure-fire way to miss recording shows that would have otherwise recorded! Do NOT browse websites, install games or other software, or use the PC to download torrents or anything else for that matter. Having a DEDICATED PC as a Media Center will greatly improve the stability of your system. If you need to rip DVDs, or download torrents, do this on another machine then move the files over to the media center after running the files through a virus scanner.
Next, you need some updated hardware. Go and look for an AMD (formerly ATI) Radeon 5450. This HDMI equipped graphics card will cost you $40! It has support for audio over HDMI and will run just fine on your Samsung. You will notice a HUGE difference in clarity using HDMI instead of VGA!
I hope this information helps you out! Good luck, and have fun!
You're wasting your time with the current software. XBMC is simply the best HTPC experience money can't buy.
Compatible with a wide range of hardware; PC or not even ie. ATV2; and a very wide range of skins, add-ons, etc. Give it a look and try the best software available for the HTPC and that should settle the debate.
Demo vid of one of the skins.
@jnemesh Not using this PC as a gaming PC is not an option. In fact, this is primarily a gaming PC. Gaming, in my opinion, is 90% of the reason you would want a computer in your theater. Yes, it can do all sorts of other things, but gaming is the one thing it can do that no other equipment can.
Yes, I'm discounting consoles: http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/blog/2011/07/22/video-games-vs-computer...
So in my mind, getting it to do other things in addition to gaming is the goal. Stripping out all that to be a WMC box doesn't make a ton of sense, not least because I don't have "cable" (it's U-verse).
A new video card is definately in the works. Not least because the current one is freaking out with: http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/blog/2011/09/30/battlefield-3-free-open...

Sorry, this story is unavailable
@ Frank81 - you could well be right. However I always felt that it was the lack of distributing centres at the Tigers which was his problem - lack of ball in hand. And, considering England's lack of distributing centres, I may have a point... MT is a great big lump and a heck of a powerful ball carrier, but he needs to chuck it about a bit more. Let's hope we find out and he proves me right, eh?
I, too, hope Henson wises up and gets media attention for his on-field displays, rather than any off-field antics. There's no doubting his talent, but there's not a lot of room for celebrity in rugby circles - it's just not cricket, chaps!
Posted 10:03 11th July 2012
@ APV1 - I disagree. Agulla isn't good enough as a winger. He works hard, but that is about it. Leicester have regularly topped the try scoring charts in the Premiership, Agulla has chipped in with 8 in 48 games. I think Leicester have got the better deal with Miles Benjamin.
Henson has the ability, just not the mentality at the moment. He's a young 30 in rugby terms as he's hardly played recently. He has much more talent and ability than Vesty and Hipkiss at least. He'll be a great signing for London Welsh. As for Hooper's assertion, that seems to have been levelled at Bath for a while. Remember Meehan saying similar a couple of years back?
Posted 20:08 10th July 2012
I think he still has potential to be a great centre - he will reach his peak form when he gains self-respect; and he will gain self-respect when he gains self-control (this applies to everyone btw). What he needs is a handful of senior players who, when he steps out of line, will reach out and give him a 'bit of a smack'. That will work.
Posted 15:46 10th July 2012
I'm not sure if we can say he doesn't still have talent...before he broke his arm he was doing surprisingly well against england in the RWC warmup matches, he also keeps himself in remarkably good shape. At 30 he is hardly over the Hill and while i'd think he'll be rusty...like Jones says by November he should be firing on all cylinders, he will remember be getting week in week out rugby for Welsh wheras at Sarries/Toulon and especially blues he was struggling to find game time.
Posted 15:14 10th July 2012
i think henson will sort himself out, i truly believe it. i was listening to the coach on sky news and i think the coach understands him and will know how to work with him.
you cant say he is a bad player just a player that has an attitude...i expect good things from henson at london welsh
Posted 13:21 10th July 2012
Big, huge mistake. The man is a loose cannon, an accident waiting to happen. It is only Jones who wants him because he has a vested interest.
Unfortunately what ever talent he might have had he appears to have lost judging by last seasons performances!
Posted 12:33 10th July 2012
@APV1 says...
Will he still be there at Christmas..?
Will he even start with them in September....
Posted 09:39 10th July 2012
@ Frank81 - Agulla isn't a reject, he's excellent. Vesty I'll give you and, perhaps, Moody, but Agulla is a great player. The Tigers just didn't want him missing for the 4N Championship.
Posted 09:28 10th July 2012
I am soo glad Bath went nowhere near Henson, one of Baths main problems last year was the team attitude, this came out recently when Hooper gave an interview, something in the dressing room was off. Part of this problem may have been signing guys like donald who demand a big wage and are not particularly motivated..Henson would be one of the worst guys to bring in and build a new team around...lots of attitude, living off past glories and heaps of unwanted media attention. As far as signing Leicester cast offs I think moody was the only mistake as everyone knew he would be off all the time with england and then would retire through injury. Vesty has been a great squad player over the past 2 seasons, i believe hipkiss will come into his own this year after a difficult 1st season with injuries and Agulla is a young quality winger who won fans player of the year at Tiggers.
Posted 09:22 10th July 2012
Henson and SBW should form a company 'Centres for Rent'.
Posted 06:06 10th July 2012
Not really a surprise that G.Henson has signed for L.Welsh,After all no one else seemed interested ,i just hope that he really knuckles down ,and plays rugby ,Maybe being the welsh golden boy /saviour was just too much for him when younger,but now as his nearig his final years ,that pressure has gone,and he can show his talant and abilty ,as its very doughtfull he will be getting any more welsh caps in the forseeable future imho
Posted 01:28 10th July 2012
A bit of a risk but being underdogs its worth a shot.
Posted 21:43 09th July 2012
Good luck Gavin, rugby needs you back.
Posted 21:15 09th July 2012
Most overrated player to come out of wales, and there have been a few.
Posted 20:04 09th July 2012
............I'm not holding my breath.
As in the past - all it'll take will be one decent celebrity tv contract or a perceived
' lack of respect ' from team mates or mgt & he'll spit the dummy & be off - again.
Posted 19:29 09th July 2012
Here we go again!
Posted 19:19 09th July 2012
I suspect this won't work and in the end he will be bad news for Welsh. Much in the same way he's been bad news for most of his recent clubs.
His attitude is wrong and he's more interested in the celebrity lifestyle. And that does not sit very well in pro rugby.
Posted 19:11 09th July 2012
Hope he gets his act together and gets back to his best. Bags of potential at one time.
Posted 16:55 09th July 2012
Great signing if he knuckles down. Would like Bath to have shown an interest in him, rather than picking up Leicester rejects.
Posted 15:42 09th July 2012
Good luck I say. His off field antics are negligible comparred to some sportsmen/women. I hope LW do well in this league
Question ? Who & When was the last player to be playing for London Welsh that was capped for Wales ?

Didn't know where to put this but here is where I am.I have an 80GB external hard drive that I decided to use to store some larger files. It was formatted in Fat 32 and the files I need to store on it were larger than 4GB so I needed to re format it. I reformatted it to NTFS as the files were windows programs. I went to manage disk partitions and re formatted it. Now it is not recognized by PCLOS or Windows. What simple thing did I forget to do. I am sure I will feel stupid after someone tells me. That's ok though if if I fix it.Thanks in advance for any help.
Thank you for your response. I am not able to test anything because there is nothing that recognizes the drive exists.

Tea Party Senators Leveraging Debt Ceiling for a Balanced Budget Amendment
April 26, 2011 - by Donny ShawThe upcoming debt ceiling increase is pretty much the ultimate must-pass bill. If Congress doesn't pass it, it's not just that some programs would be put on hold or that some federal workers would be furloughed; the entire economy would collapse much more deeply than in 2008, and we would have no chance of recovery since our international credit worthiness, our principle financial asset, would be permanently ruined. Of course, every member of Congress knows that the debt ceiling increase has to be passed. That's why they're hoping to use it as a means to pass other legislation that they know cannot stand on its own.
Fox News reports that Senate Republicans are planning to filibuster the debt ceiling increase unless the Senate passes a constitutional balanced budget amendment:
Guided by their belief that the nation is headed for a long-term fiscal calamity, Republicans are promising a fight — one that may make the battle earlier this spring over government funding resolutions look small in comparison.
Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., vows to "tie the Senate in knots" unless it passes a balanced budget amendment. And while he and Senate Republicans may lack the votes for passage, they wield some leverage — Democrats need some Republican support to raise the debt ceiling.
All 47 Senate Republicans have signed a pledge to vote for it, and there are indications that as many as nine or 10 Senate Democrats may be leaning towards yes votes, too.
The last time a balanced budget amendment was introduced in the Senate, in 1997, it failed by just one vote.
Proponents believe the public pressure for such an amendment has grown enormously since those years.
The Republicans' balanced budget amendment is S.J.Res.10.
Besides requiring budgets to spend no more than they bring in in revenues, it would cap federal spending at 18% of GDP, which you can see in the graph at right is a level not seen since the early 1930s. It would also make it more difficult to balance the budget by raising taxes or closing tax loopholes by requiring a 2/3rds majority vote in both chambers for "any bill that imposes a new tax or increases the statutory rate of any tax."
As difficult as it is to pass a constitutional amendment (both chambers must pass it with 2/3rds majority), the Republicans have the advantage here. It only takes two or three senators working together to filibuster a bill to death. The balanced budget amendment has the support of 47 Republicans, so DeMint can likely get help from othe Tea Party members, like Sen. Rand Paul [R, KY] and Sen. Mike Lee [R, UT], or Sen. Orrin Hatch [R, UT], the amendment's chief sponsor. And note that DeMint doesn't just want a vote on the amendment; he is threatening a filibuster unless the amendment actually passes.
QUICK UPDATE: Sen. Lee has already pledged to filibuster the debt ceiling vote unless a balanced budget amendment passes. Game on.
Sens. DeMint and Paul are pictured above, pledging their allegiace to the flag, at a Tea Party Caucus meeting.

You can't borrow your way out of debt.
Luminous, I'm confused by your comment. This amendment states total outlays must equal total receipts (except for receipts derived from borrowing and all outlays except those for repayment of debt principal). Only in a year which a declaration of war against a nation-state is in effect, or which the United States is engaged in a military conflict that causes an imminent and serious military threat to national security and is so declared by three-fifths of the duly chosen and sworn Members of each House of Congress by a roll call vote, can that provision be waived.
The IRS, the most notorious collection agency in the world. The one collection agency which doesn't have to follow the law as all other agencies have to follow. You want them to have full autonomy over setting the tax rates? Wouldn't it just be better to abolish the IRS and have everyone pay a minimum tax of 15%? If you have a SSN, you pay 15%, period. Wouldn't that be easier and increase revenues?
Every year will turn into one of these special cases, the only difference is that you will have to effectively buy more votes by handing out benefits to the campaign contributors of an even larger set of congresses critters special interests(what has happened in CA).
This won't balance the budget, not even close.
"Wouldn't it just be better to abolish the IRS and have everyone pay a minimum tax of 15%? If you have a SSN, you pay 15%, period. "
And how does this handle the needed industrial/agricultural/social policy needs that are currently addressed via the tax system?
How does this handle the international tax book switcharoo game played by the mega wealthy and corporations?
"You want them to have full autonomy over setting the tax rates?"
I suggest the rate be set via function of law not really set by some PHB in the IRS. but either way someone has got to collect taxes and nobody will ever like them !!!
Spam Comment
@luminous; As for the industrial/agricultural/social policy; are you talking about subsidies? They should cease to exist, plain and simple. There are proper functions of government and income redistribution is not one of them.
There need to be local programs to deal with "social" policy, not national ones.
The problem is spending, not revenue. Many organizations have published the data that regardless of highest marginal rate, revenue consistently runs at ~19%. Capping spending at 18% (section 2) recognizes that.
A group of unelected bureaucrats making the rules resulted in a tax code that is almost 72,000 pages long. The proposal from fakk2 is 129 characters. Those 72000 pages are where all of the loopholes created in back room deals reside.
The IRS is the largest private army in the world. They have the power to legislate, arrest, confiscate, and incarcerate. In short, they are allowed to make the rules and then be judge, jury, and executioner.
Congress does not want a balanced budget amendment because it will hamper their giveaways to the Fat Cats that fund their elections.
Absolutely NOTHING will fix our system without getting to the root: political corruption. Politicians sharing in the booty by taking campaign bribes, and then rolling over to the industry that wants in the taxpayer's pockets.
Our problem is NOT government, and it is not R's or D's. It IS that government is owned by CEOs and corporate interests that want in the taxpayer's pockets. The 2010 elections were funded by just 1% of Americans, when they should be financed by 100% of taxpayers. And at $5 per taxpayer it would be a bargain. Even at 100 times that.
If politicians are going to be beholden to their funders, those funders should be the taxpayers. We MUST demand that our senators and representative pass the bill at: http://fairelectionsnow.org/about-bill
Jack Lohman …
http://MoneyedPoliticians.netJack, I agree generally with your statement, but disagree with the root cause.
What we are seeing today is the result of a positive feedback loop that has existed for too long. The root of the problem is that the government has given itself the ability to hand out (read sell) favors. The original intent of the Constitution was to "put chains on government".
They have managed, through the 14th (turn natural rights into priveleges), 16th (income tax), and 17th (remove senate responsibility to the states) to break most of the chains that were put in place.
The really sick part is that the warnings exist from Aristotle, Cicero, Hobbes, Locke, Monroe, Madison, Jefferson, Spooner, Bastiat, Mises, Hayek, and Rand just to name a few covering ~25 centuries.
We are not seeing anything new, this is how all republics throughout history have self destructed. Too bad we couldn't learn from the past.

Wow, I should've responded sooner because now almost all of my talking points are taken ;P But yes, I should've included "SSN or Tax ID" because it wouldn't make much sense to not tax corporations.
The only good reason to fight taxation is to pay less than what you normally would. If someone earns $10M a year, and is taxed at 35%, they should pay $3.5M in taxes. But if they spend $1M hiring a team of accountants/lawyers to reduce the tax burden to 16%, then they save $400k, and do not break the law. 400 thousand dollars is a lot of incentive to fight taxation.
Ummm, luminous, GE earned money from the US last year by selling goods/services, no? Erasing the tax code means getting rid of the ability to have money in offshore accounts which can't be taxed, or so I believe. So, if it's a US company that does business in the US, it pays taxes. That's the law we should have, and as far as I can tell, that's what everyone agrees on. Now, the question is, what rate should we set the minimum tax. If it's set too low, it doesn't exterminate the cost savings of fighting taxation. If it's too high, it causes an unnecessary burden on a majority of Americans and is bad for business. Personally, I'm up for 15%, which is low enough businesses should have a problem paying it, and high enough even the poor can afford it. GE was able to pay 0% last year due to the current law, not a theoretical "flat tax" law. If the current law is abolished, and replaced with a "Must Pay X" law, then GE will not have the luxury of paying 0%.
You don't need a million dollar accountant team on a $10 million a year income, with software aids a CPA is more then enough to handle such a paltry account.
Anyway the issue isn't small time Millionaires, if anything the small time Millionaires get a bit screwed because they can't exploit the system like the internationals can.
Really the key to exploiting the tax system in disgusting ways is by own subsidiary corporations in multiple tax jurisdictions that don't share information about filings.

"If we take that away, then they start paying taxes."
That is a fiction, any rate above 0% will be fought. Hell their are many corps they will fight any rate that doesn't end up paying them.
"How does this translate into people losing health care or retirement?"
Their access to those benefits is contingent on the tax benefits that go to corporations for providing them. Until how those benefits are delivered is reformed that will be the result.
Pass single payer health care, increase SS to double its current payout rate, Use part of SS to fund a National sovereign wealth fund to buy businesses and keep them in the USA, and finely a BIG fund and then we can have a flat tax. Util such time as these items are politically possible a flat tax is simply a national suicide pact.

fakk2 I would support having a flat tax but it would still tax income. I believe when you tax income you tax incentive. This is why I think a fairtax would be better. A national sales tax that collects tax at the retail level and taxes only 1 time. So you would get to keep 100% of your paycheck which creates more incentive to work hard. Under the fairtax you could invest tax free, go to school tax free, and save tax free. All used goods would be tax free. And with the monthly prebate of 208 dollars per person(with a social security number) you pay no tax on food and clothing. This would effectively tax illegals and criminals that the flat tax wouldnt. Also the flat tax requires the IRS to know your income. Under the fairtax you never have to file taxes ever again. Thus the government would never know what your income is and nor should they.
As for the balanced budget amendment I support it. If its coupled with tax reform like the fairtax I see an end to recessions for a long time.
I will keep this simple, without a balanced budget our country economically is going to cease to exist, at least according to the GAO, I believe it was 2024 or 2027. Other economics experts agree with this some may differ as to how much time we have before the ultimate collapse. Those who are worried about subsidies for the "greater good of society" do not seem to grasp the urgency of this countries financial problem. Let us use our common sense and come together on this issue to save the next generation from living in a third world country.
Luminous, you're saying dropping tax rates won't increase tax revenue. Can you prove this? Can you provide something to back up your claims that having a small minimum tax will not increase revenue? Can you provide anything which substantiates your claim that multinationals are cooking their books and lying to our IRS? Can you provide anything that says we'd be worse off with a minimum tax and balanced budget versus where we are now? Any proof of any corps that will fight any tax rate that doesn't pay them? Personally I don't think you're giving enough credit to corporations doing good things for their employees or customers just because they can. I'm not saying corporations are mother theresa, but I don't think all employee benefits will disappear if we take the tax incentive away. No way to prove that unfortunately.
@Patriot1789, I would LOVE a fair tax, but I will settle with a flat tax, or at least a minimum and maximum progressive tax, at least for now until the budget is balance

Jack, Important distinction is that the moneyed interests are attracted by the government functionary having the ability to sell favors. I agree that it has spun way out of control, which is why I mentioned that it is a positive feedback loop.
That being said, since the American public has become apathetic until just recently, the election process doesn't serve its inherent term limit function. Therefore, what is needed is a 12 year limit on "service" in Fedzilla. Break it down however you want, but you only get 12 years as part of the machine.

And what good would pointing anything out be? Yes I could likely go and find myself some good articles written by Paul Krugman or the CBO or any number of other economists, and what good would that do in this argument?
I point out logical fallacies, provide ignored surrounding facts, context, and when and if I think it will help in an argument links to some other article.
However that doesn't matter in this case, anything I would choose to show would be derided as little more then partisan opinion making. This is little different then how I take you links to the not well respected CATO institute.
I would like to know why is it they pick the years 1920-1928, leaving out 1929, ignoring the build up to 1929. And why is that the only thing pointed out in the study? In a good study you have more then one set of data, where is the Reagan tax cuts for comparison, or the Bush cuts?
You really don't get it, I would love for the free market good old libertarian law of the jungle sorta thing, but if we are the only ones playing by that set of rules we will lose every time.
China isn't going to play by our rules, nor is Europe, or anywhere else for that matter. And the longer we ignore this the more we are going to lose to what China and Europe and Everyone else defines the "free market" to be.
This isn't about fairness, This is about our Nation being pillaged by the lowest bidder. This is about Competing with Nations that use sovereign wealth funds, tariffs, subsidy programs, nationalize resource industries, and ultra cheap government ran health care systems to force businesses into their borders at our great disadvantage.
How long are you going to let everyone else use weighted dice while using normal dice yourself? The corruption of your free market is astounding and the fact you disagree with the government responding to that corruption is astounding!

The Morning Journal (morningjournal.com), Serving Northern Ohio
Monday, February 25, 2013
By JEFF SCHUDEL
CLEVELAND — Bernie Kosar says the vertical offense the Browns will use under Norv Turner fits Brandon Weeden perfectly, and Kosar should know; he played in it 20 years ago.
One day after Bill Belichick cut Kosar in 1993 because of "diminishing skills," Kosar was playing for the Cowboys as the backup to Troy Aikman. Turner, now the Browns offensive coordinator, was the offensive coordinator in Dallas at the time. Turner's offense hasn't changed much in two decades and it still produces Pro Bowl quarterbacks and winning seasons.
Kosar represents past glory for the Browns and three AFC championship games. Whether Weeden even represents the present, let alone the future, is to be determined by the newest Browns regime. The pair was at the Cleveland Auto Show at the IX Center on Monday night autographing pictures and other items for fans.
"I'm not trying to make anything negative about the past or the (West Coast) system they used last year because that system has been phenomenal over the years," Kosar said. "They've won a lot of games and had a lot of success. It's just not what I could have been good at and I don't think it's what Brandon is meant to do.
"His arm is something all us quarterbacks would love to have. It's a powerful arm. Down the field throwing is something I obsessively believe in. I think the game is going back to that. It's the best offense for him and I think he knows that. It's going to give him and the team the best chance to be successful."
Weeden does not yet have the playbook designed by Turner and head coach Rob Chudzinski. Under the CBA agreement Weeden and his teammates cannot begin the offseason program until April 1.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam has said emphatically Weeden will have competition for the starting job this year. Last year the job was basically taken from Colt McCoy and handed to Weeden, the 22nd pick of the 2012 draft.
Whether the competition will come from free agency, a trade or the draft is up to CEO Joe Banner and Vice President of Player Personnel Mike Lombardi. But when the final votes are counted, Weeden is confident he'll come out on top. Banner said he sees potential in Weeden but wants to discover "how bad he wants it."
"That's the way it should be," Weeden said in his first interview with Cleveland media since Chudzinski was hired on Jan. 11. "I think that's the way I'm going to approach it anyway. I'm going to challenge myself. I know what to expect. I'm not going to my first camp anymore. I can dial it in and really get focused on what we're trying to do.
"I'm going to have to learn a whole new offense. It's full steam ahead once I get my hands on a playbook. They've already said they're going to challenge me, and as a player, that's what I want."
Weeden had success playing in the shotgun at Oklahoma State. He was in the shotgun 42 percent of the time last season as a rookie with the Browns. The league average was 66 percent.
Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, coached by Turner, and Panthers quarterback Cam Newton with Chudzinski as offensive coordinator were in the shotgun more than 75 percent of the time in 2012.
Weeden says he likes to throw downfield. According to Pro Football Focus he threw 57 passes that were in the air 20 yards or more (to differentiate from a 10-yard pass that gained 25 yards). He completed 14 of those passes, which ranks 22nd of the 23 quarterbacks listed. Four of those deep passes were dropped.
Weeden talked about being eager to get a playbook; Kosar said Turner's offense puts the onus on the quarterback to read the defense. Reading defenses, more than any physical skill, was Kosar's bread and butter.
"I had the honor of playing for (Turner) in 1993," Kosar said. "I audibled a lot except when I played in his system because if you read the defense right and understand where the safeties are and where the protections are, you should always have somebody one-on-one. Is he open? That's up to that receiver who needs to beat the cornerback. If he doesn't, that receiver's not playing.
"That simplistic philosophy he has and the way his routes are good against all coverages gives you an option every time and typically there's a deep option every time. If you're not reading the defense on the pre-snap, you still have a chance to go down the field. It puts the onus on you to read the defense and know where the one-on-one is."
And that puts the onus on Weeden to study and know the opposing defense every week.
Rivers threw 26 touchdown passes (15 interceptions) last season and ranked 11th among starting quarterbacks. Newton threw 19 TD passes (12 interceptions) and ranked 15th.
Weeden threw 14 touchdown passes and 17 interceptions. He ranked 29th among starters.

2007-05-24 - News
He's a law unto himself is Stef, making the kind of records that nobody else could get away with. 'Poisonous Love' is an ode to a doomed love affair that turns into a punk sea shanty and sounds like The Men They Couldn't Hang. It's also great.
A pivotal figure within Dublin's psycho-rock scene, he's been threatening something special for some time, and praise be, The Sins of Sainte Catherine is a fine representation of his considerable talent.
They don't call him the Mighty Stef for nothing – brimming with showmanship and out-on-a-limb theatrics, this double A-side is the perfect marriage of knowing, indie melody and uplifting, crowd-pleasing pop. 'Liars' gives the Nolan Sisters a wry nod (as you do), while on first impression 'Prayer For The Broken Hearted' sounds as though Nick Cave found the happy pills (and cabaret).
Aiming to raise money for their travel to South By Southwest in Texas, The Might Stef play a fundraising gig next week in Dublin

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you.
A while ago I entered a giveaway at Mad in Crafts. It was for this pair of beautiful earrings from Simply Sleek Esty shop.
Guess what?! I won!! These little beauties arrived at my house 2 days after giving my address to the oh so kind shop owner, Leslie. They were in the cutest box with a bow and sliver thank you tag. It was just like a little present. I have to tell you they are even more beautiful in person!! They are fast becoming a favorite pair of earrings because they go with everything!!
Would you like to see what else she has in her shop? I thought you might.
Of course there are more beautiful earrings.
I love both of these!
She has many different price points and is so kind to work with. Also, for the month of July she has a 20% off coupon. The code is XMASINJULY.
I was absolutely thrilled when she agreed to do a giveaway on my blog. Do you want to see what you can win?!
These beautiful fresh water pearl earrings. I think they are just lovely! They would be perfect with a little black dress or dressed down with a dressy t-shirt and jeans.
What do you need to do to enter the giveaway?
That's it easy peasy!
Give away will close July 28th at 10:00 p.m., the winner will be announced on Fri. July 29th.
Disclaimer: I did not know anything about Simply Sleek Esty shop until I entered the giveaway. I asked if I could do the review and have a giveaway because I love the earrings. I was given permission to use all the images in this post.
This giveaway is now closed.
Thanks for hangin' out.

Saw some Old Forester Birthday for $60 and kept looking.
1x 2003 EWSB (first one I've seen, and there was only one, so apparently it's selling here)
1x Son of Bourye ($49)
and not bourbon, but
3x High West 21 YR Rocky Mountain Rye ($130)
Yes, and for the Son of Bourye as well.
Did it come in handles or something?
Haven't seen many 750's of the 21, mostly 375's.
(Based on price, should've guessed it was a fifth though)

no, but pretty sure high west releases a decent amount of 375ml bottles of certain products
Passed up on a BTAC Thomas H Handy tonight. It is the last bottle of BTAC they have left, as I bought the other two (WLW & GTS). I'm on the fence about it. My thinking is if I am spending that kind of $ I want it to have more age on it. It's lasted this long on the shelf, I could always go back for it I suppose.
Passed on 3 Ritt 25's, at 2 1/4, too rich for my blood.
Passed on the Van Winkle 23yo decanter set for $9500.00. Oh craigslist
I don't know if this really counts but I noticed that Dickel prices seemed higher than I remember, at least at one store I frequent. Shelf prices of $26.99 for #12, $24.99 for #8, and the rye was $21.99, although they're having a three-day sale through tomorrow. What got my attention initially was the #8, which I can't recall seeing here locally before. The second thing that struck me was that even with a sale price of $21.99 on the #8, it's more than I paid for the #12 elsewhere a few months ago. I may need to shop around.
I guess "give 'em the bird" isn't just a marketing slogan, it's a brand management strategy, too.

Freelancers group
I wondered if anyone was interested in forming a support group for
freelancers. I've been working freelance for 3 years and often
appreciate feedback from colleagues, especially during long periods
spent working from home.
I know there are already business networking groups out there but I was thinking about something very practical. eg: help me with this estimate / proposal please ??!!
Other ideas:
- Writing bids / proposals
- How to deal with Agents
- How to bid against companies
- How to do marketing
- Breaking into new markets (share our experiences)
- General review of work / feedback
- Share Ideas to generate new work
- Collaborate on projects
- Ideas for making remote working succeed
- Where to find new work
I could go on...
Let me know if you are interested, or if you think there is something already out there...
networking is always good. i'd be up for it - freelancing on PR, copywriting, marketing, people management.
i'm in.. IT and Web consultancy
IT also, but I use Meetup.com for networking, wider audience than here.
I'm in. I find new clients for SMEs who don't have the time or the inclination to do their own marketing or selling.
I'm game too. I also do corporate PR plus business journalism and web content.
I was just discussing this with my husband the other day- freelancing has it's benefits but one can feel rather isolated at times! It's a great idea, good to have a local forum for getting advice & feedback or just bouncing ideas... Let us know when you have your first meeting! I am an artist & he is in training & coaching (personal & professional development).
I'm very interested too although not a lot of free time. I'm a freelance journalist, writing about architecture, have been freelancing for three and a half years. I certainly feel the lack of support in things like IT decisions. On a positive note my life was transformed when I found a book-keeper (on Streetlife) who keeps things in shape for my accountant and also, very importantly, keeps track of and chases my invoices. I'm sure she'd love to work for other people too.
What a great idea to set up a freelance group. Count me in, definitely. I would love to get some more book-keeping work and thank you Ruth for mentioning me on your post. Working from home one certainly can feel isolated at times, however, I have a 6 year old child who is at school in the day. He certainly keeps me busy so generally I am quite greatful for the peace and quiet.
Excellent idea. About time someone came up with this. I'm in.
Best - Ian
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the responses. sounds like there is enough interest to get something going.
Forgot to introduce myself. I'm in Software / IT. I freelance so that I can spend more time with my children at home. So far its working, but sometimes I feel like I'm trying to do two jobs at once !
I'll get in touch with Streetlife to ask how to go about setting up a discussion group.
Yep. That's a great idea... I'm an innovation and marketing consultant, helping businesses to have new ideas and testing them with their customers.
Terrific idea, and I like the idea of a networking group that addresses specific topics for the meetups/shared conversations. A better use of time than just meeting up for a general chinwag - as theraputic as that sometimes is!
I think freelancers can face common roadblocks, and these often seem to be distinct from people running small businesses, so it will be good to discuss issues and ideas with people in the same boat.
I m in as well Pete ! great and thanks for creating that interest! i have myself set the buzz up from home , I bake Gluten free delices cakes !
I help run the freelance group for my professional association of corporate film makers (IVCA). There's so much to gain from sharing ideas or forming alliances for business opportunities. We freelancers need all the support we can get so this is a brilliant idea.
Hi, I'm a freelance newspaper journalist (Bonnie Estridge).... Mainly do general features (eg the Dangerous Dogs piece in the Express a few weeks ago which I flagged up on Streetlife, but also a lot of health stuff. Mainly work from home, always looking for interesting human interest stories whatever they may be... Animal welfare issues are a particularly big interest of mine... Sharing ideas to generate new work an excellent idea...
Please count me in. I'm a graphic designer & artist, work from home here in Tooting.
Please count me in too - i'm a freelance advertising copywriter.
Great idea - I'm new to freelancing (15 months), but marketing, advertising and communications are my areas of expertise - would love to meet local freelancers to share the highs & the lows!
I'm an illustrator and commercial artist, similar to Ludwig W. I've been freelance for 22 years and the most important thing I've learnt is that you need to network and market. Any group like this can only be a benefit.
Best - Ian
This is a good idea and very topical for me right now. I am a Freelance Marketing Consultant and Interior Designer and actually like to bounce ideas with other people as sometime you do miss having colleagues, even if you have new clients.
I'm in too, I'm an artist and curator.
Hi Everyone,
Thanks again for all the responses. I'm waiting to hear back from Streetlife about how to best run the group. Will get back to you as soon as possible.
Hi Pete, would a sole trader (running own small business) be considered a freelancer, out of interest? thanks
This is a great thread and we thought we might be able to help. At Third Door, we have just scheduled a Drupal Coworking Day on Friday July 27th for 10 people which is organised by one of our members. This is for people who work with Drupal and want to work with their peers for the day. If any of you are interested please email me on firstname.lastname@example.com.
We are also in the process of organising more coworking days for freelancers in the local area and came across this discussion! We are thinking of having a freelance day mid-June (Friday 15th) for creatives where you would work from Third Door meeting room for the day. Again, please email me if you are interested. firstname.lastname@example.com.
And here's some background on Third Door:
Door is a coworking space in SW18 with an onsite flexible daycare nursery. Many
of our members are like yourselves, freelancers/self employed and work from
Third Door as they want to work from a productive work environment as well as
be with like minded people. We have lots of interesting members (both parents
and non-parents) and their professionals range from digital marketing
consultants, charity consultant, sustainability consultant, medical copy
editor, those setting up entrepreneurial businesses, novel writer, TV writer,
marketing specialists, fashion designer, Wordpress/Drupal website developer
also organise events and workshops using our members skills as well as outside experts.
We have a few coming up in the next few weeks:
A FREE event on managing Outlook better http://outlooktipsthirddoor.eventbrite.co.uk [
A sales masterclass by a wonderful lady who has set up 7 six-figure businesses, please do purchase your tickets here http://amberlife.com/sales-masterclass-workshop-for-third-door/
we also have a HR freelance expert coming in soon.
We do advertise our courses on Streetlife as well as our Facebook page www.facebook.com/thirddoor
Hi AndyM,
Yes, I think Sole traders qualify as freelancers ! I was mainly thinking of people who generally work as individuals, so dont have the support of a company structure. Glad to have you here !

Baton Rouge Post
Baton Rouge Post – Covers Local Baton Rouge News & LouisianaThe Baton Rouge Post is essentially a local Baton Rouge newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Baton Rouge, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Baton Rouge Post.

Net cameras add new dimensions to observing fish behavior—just ask NOAA's Advanced Survey Technologies group who recently developed a camera and lighting system that provided hours of quality high-definition video footage of sardines, jack mackerel, squid and other small fishes, like krill. The device also provided video of a sea lion being excluded from the trawl. After some minor modifications, it will be used during an 80-day west coast sardine/hake survey aboard the NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada.
