Jodhpur court records statement of Salman Khan
A court here Wednesday recorded the statement of Bollywood actor Salman Khan in the Arms Act case against him in connection with poaching of blackbucks.
"Salman, in his statement, has denied all the allegations and said he neither was carrying illegal arms nor did he poach blackbucks," Salman Khan's counsel Hastimal Saraswat told IANS.
The court has fixed March 10 as its next hearing date.
On the night of Oct 1-2, 1998, during the shooting of the Hindi movie "Hum Saath Saath Hain", two blackbucks, a protected animal under the Wildlife Protection Act, were allegedly killed on the outskirts of Kankani village near Jodhpur.
Salman khan, along with a few other stars, were accused of poaching the blackbucks.
During this time the Bollywood star was also accused of carrying illegal arms. He is alleged to have been carrying arms with expired license.
A complaint was filed against Salman Khan on charges of being involved in hunting protected blackbucks.
The actor was summoned by the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Chandra Kala Jain Jan 15 to record his statement Wednesday as an accused in this case.
His statement could not be recorded till lunch as his lawyers filed an application in the court, requesting that his statement should not be recorded and the different cases registered against him be clubbed together.
"In the previous hearing Jan 15, the court asked Salman Khan to appear before it Wednesday. He complied with the court order and arrived here," Hastimal Saraswat said.
"We had requested the court to club together the different cases registered against the actor. However, the court disallowed our application and recorded the statement of Salman Khan," Saraswat said.

I've had to use a Grigri for an emergency rappel and it's not ideal at all. If you're looking for something with a little more friction than an ATC or something you can regulate a little more I would recommend looking at both the Petzl Pirana or the Blue Water Rescue 8. Both are great options for rappelling that give you the option to lock off or ad several different levels of friction. Though with any 8 type device, it will twist your rope up which can be a pain.

Constitutional Law
Not if you're another lawyer or have a career where you understand that sometimes the client has to come first.
We're not saving lives, but to the people you work with it matters to them, so it has to matter to you.
It's simply seeing the difference between a job and a career.
Is it any easier being married to a doctor? Doesn't the patient always come first? Or has our society become so HMOgenized that docs don't have to put in nights & weekends? If so, what do they know that lawyers don't?
"Not if you're another lawyer or have a career where you understand that sometimes the client has to come first. " Comment by Nah 10:47 a.m.
Once again proving the law has much in common with that other, older profession that takes anyone on as a client and charges by the hour.
How is dating a lawyer any different than dating someone with a different high-stress job like an investment banker, doctor, etc? I don't think it's any different. If you want to date someone who works 9-5 and no weekends, then don't date anyone who makes a lot of money.
As a law student, its not so bad. However, my wife always gets upset because she can never "win" and argument with me. I think, as I start my career, it will become harder to deal with.
I am dating an attorney and I live with her and she has a very busy schedule and is a very busy woman but it makes us appreciate the time we have together.
I say don't marry a lawyer. They the least trusted and respected profession in the country and their reputation is getting worse with each passing year.
ALSO, if you marry one, don't be surprised if you get screwed by a complicite judge in divorce court, as if there is one thing that lawyers do, it's protect their own. Expect to lose your kids — even if you are the homemaker wife — which means you will end up paying child support to the slime lawyer you married who will in turn hire a nanny to replace you.
If you don't think the judge/lawyer favoritism is happening in America's family courts, ask around, you'll find a disproportionate number of unexplained victories among lawyers in divorce court (and it's not due to their "legal training" I can assure you).
Nope, don't marry a lawyer despite what they tell you about their earnings or earnings potential. Far too many are dirty and corrupt, and the rest are constantly in contact with others of this ilk — it rubs off you see.
No, we non-lawyers owe it to ourselves and every lawyer to boycott them in marriage so that they are driven to marry their own kind. Now that's a way to punish lawyers for life — a deserved fate for this crowd. Then we can enjoy watching them hack away at each other in divorce court, getting a taste of what they put their own clients through at such great profit to themselves.
alright then, whatever you say
"Lawyers should never marry other lawyers. This is called in-breeding; from this comes idiot children… and other lawyers." Adam's Rib, 1949
The Justice Department has MORE than enough evidence to indict William S. Lerach…so whats the holdup? As for lawyers in love: Mr. Lerach and Irving Lawrence seem to have quite a thing going.

If you want your relationship to work, it will. If you want you career to work, it will. If you want a career that doesn't allow enough room for both to work, the relationship certainly will not.
After law school, I took a job at a small firm for a nice salary with reasonable billing requirements. As a trade-off, I took about $20,000 less a year. Think about that. For a mere $20,000 less a year than I could have made from a slave-firm, my marriage and family life is top-notch. I have no sympathy for lawyers who chase the money, the corner office, and the partnership and then turn around and wonder why they are divorced and miserable.
In sum, settle for a little bit less and you'll get a lot more in return.
@BG ESQ: just curious, approximately how many billable hours are required at your small firm? I'm trying to get a feel for how many annual billable hours it takes to break the threshold into the area of not being able to have a reasonably good quality of life. tyia.
I think that it depends heavily on the kind of lawyer you're planning on marrying. If you're going marry someone who's in-house counsel or a law school professor, that's one thing. If you're going to marry a M&A associate at Watchell or Skadden, on the other hand…
This is such nonsense. My husband and I are both partners at big law firms, yet we have two kids and a happy and healthy home life. We are friends with a number of similarly-situated families. It all depends on your priorities and your attitude.
Ha! This cracks me up, we must have been on the same page because I was posting about this myself yesterday . . .
I agree wholeheartedly with the comment at 10:54 AM. Any big firm associate (like me, for example) will tell you that there are partners who work 8-10 hour days and only work weekends when necessary, and other partners who seems absolutely addicted to the office. These differences cut across age, gender and seniority differences. Those who are committed to having a life outside the office have a life outside the office.
Linus (3:30) is correct that plenty of partners work 8 hour days, which is terrific…if you're a partner. Ella's (10:54) arrogant attitude ("This is such nonsense") is typical of biglaw partners. As a partner, she can make her own schedule, so she brushes aside
the concerns of associates, for whom achieving a work/life balance is a constant struggle. How many associates have to stay late and work weekends so that Ella and her husband can enjoy their enlightened choice to have quality time with their kids?
This is hilarious. I am married to a lawyer, and my mother in law even bought me the book "Living with Lawyers" before we got married (I didn't read it). I sort of knew what I was getting myself into, but as a non-lawyer you never really know. The downside? I lose every argument. The upside? I got the most rational hubby this side of Lake Michigan.
I have no billing requirements at this time, as I am only in my second year. I have fluctuated between 150-165 a month. Recently, we have had a Plaintiff's case (very rare for my firm) where we got a 10+ million verdict. I worked on that a lot and that kind of skewed my hours a bit, because they had me work on things that really weren't billable to anyone, and would have looked outrageous on our cost bill. Nevertheless, the firm makes a good profit from me, and I good salary and benefits from them, so I am happy with my career and it allows me to have a life.
As for the partner who called it nonsense, I agree with SeattleSlew who said it is nice to be a partner, because they can make their own hours. The partners in my firm work hard too, but, believe me, they also know how to disappear for days and weeks at a time. For example, one of them took off from about December 10th until January 10th, and has been off for the last 2 weeks to go to Costa Rica or something. After he gets back, he'll need a rest from all that vacation so he'll go to his home in La Jolla for another 10 days. I don't begrudge him, because he has earned it. However, I wouldn't trade my life for his three alimony checks, that's for sure.
SeattleSlew – Did you think that my husband and I made partner by magic, without having been associates? I had my first child when I was a fifth-year. After he was born, I worked 8-6 — and worked from home for several hours every night after he was in bed. I still bill a very significant number of hours (more, I might add, than many associates do). But I do it in a way that causes my children and my home life to suffer as little as possible. It can be done. Your view that partners live a cushy life on the backs of overworked associates is unrealistic, to say the least.
It's not that so many law firm partners are making unfair profits "on the backs of overworked associates", but rather the percentage of Law Firm Partners who get female law associates on their backs, so to speak.
One presumes that you are well aware of the somewhat- higher-than-national-average rate of intimate consorting between higher-ups at law firms and those of lesser pay grade? You can't be completely unaware of this, can you?
Do you have any idea of the rate of divorce among lawyers?
How about the rate of married lawyers having affairs with co-workers and in particular junior co-workers? Ask around among your colleagues. See if they feel their profession just might be out-affairing most other professions (except for pro Basketball of course!)
But among white collar professionals, I think you'll find that married lawyers win this contest hands down (or should I say "skirts up!")?
Maybe they are all following the cigar-packing — erh smoking– lead of their most famous and admired lawyer-leader of all, attorney Bill Clinton?
It's true that lawyers work long hours and like to win. What working professional doesn't share these traits? For those of you caught up in the "lawyers like to argue" argument, you should also consider that a lawyer will keep her mouth shut until she's weighed all the facts of the situation and will never get involved in a losing battle. It may be hard to win a fight with a lawyer but a lot of the petty fights that go on in relationships are non-existent.
Dear "In our defense…",
In my experience many lawyers' find their own personalities overwhelmed by the always-rewarded-at-work tendency to argue.
This happens for a very simple reason: in an hourly billing revenue environment, arguing, dredging up irrelevant "facts", twisting, mis-quoting, and protracting every little disagreement, negotiation, etc., etc., are behaviors which ARE REWARDED.
Your logic might apply better to a lawyer who only wins when his/her client wins (contingency fee lawyers, and the creme-de-la-creme of the hourly folks), but in my experience, most lawyers are habitual "talkers" and disagreement machines, because they do this all day long at work, and are ecnomically rewarded all day long at work for doing so. It's hard to switch effectively upon arriving at home.
Ergo, I repeat my previous suggestion that one should not marry a lawyer, but rather force them to marry each other. And I further remind all to reflect upon what they really think — nad know — about the comparative promiscuity levels of attorneys.
The combined picture may suggest that while there are surely some lawyers who would or do make wonderful spouses, on average, they are a very risky lot to attach one's life, heart, and children to through the institution of marriage.

Elbow Falls under an alpen glow
A cold morning greeted me at Elbow Falls yesterday. I set up from a rocky perch above the river and enjoyed watching the day come in. The clouds above caught the early pink light while the land below was gently brushed by the alpen glow that preceded sunrise.
A blizzard at Elbow Falls
Canon 5DIII + 24-105mm lens at 65mm: 2.5 seconds at f/16 on ISO 200
I went back to Elbow Falls for the third time in the last couple of weeks. With the snowstorm that blew in on the weekend, I was drawn back to see another face to the area. Heavy snowflakes had piled up in the trees and across the rocks with more falling rapidly when I was up there. A slip on the ice was my payment for passage but I liked the scene I slid into. The falling snow gave the trees a charcoal sketched look while the rocks and water in the river had texture and character that seemed to suit black and white processing.
Elbow Falls in winter's clothing again
Canon 5DIII + 17-40mm lens at 17mm: 1/3rd of a second at f/16 on ISO 200
With fresh snow on the ground, I went back up to Elbow Falls to see how the valley would look in a return to winter clothing. I was there only a week ago and the change, beyond the cold, was significant. I love snow-covered landscapes so I found this visit to Kananaskis to be a very beautiful one. I think spring is coming soon but when winter is this pretty, I don't mind a little delay.

I love watching these aquatically adept birds stalking, diving and swimming in the middle of the rapids. On the last visit to the waterfall, there were three Dippers flitting about moving between the bottom of the waterfall and the rocks at the top.

They chased each other down river a couple of times but spent most of their time fishing alone. On a quiet morning in Kananaskis, it was nice to spend my time watching them.

A calm morning at Elbow Falls
I went up to Elbow Falls last weekend and ice-covered all but a sliver of the river and most of the waterfall too. With the warm days since then, I wanted to see how this beautiful spot looked now. Much of the snow and ice has melted, opening the waterway and showing another side of Kananaskis. Spring may be around the corner.
A return to Elbow Falls
Since the floods, I have been eager to drive up Highway 66 which runs in and out of the valleys where the Elbow River unwinds out of the mountains. A few weeks ago, the road reopened and I have been back into this quieter side of Kananaskis Country a couple of times since. On the first trip I went straight to Elbow Falls to see what remained. Rumours through June and July ranged from the Elbow Falls being reduced to a set of rapids through to vast swathes of land disappearing, replaced by river rock spread over the lost forest area. The former is not true – the falls remain, as seen in the image here from that first visit after the floods, and are still beautiful. The latter is very true in many places – many favourite spots, including the winding river path above the falls, have been drastically reshaped.
Moonlight at Elbow Falls
As the moon waxed towards full this weekend, I spent an evening at Elbow Falls to photograph the landscape at night. The clear air allowed stars to shine even with a relatively short exposure and small aperture (10 seconds and f/8.0, respectively). Always a bit lonely sitting out there for a couple of hours but the stars are really good company.
The 6400 ISO and the bright moonlight allowed for some of the great details at this magical place in Kananaskis Country to show in the image. I am impressed with the improvements in the dSLR's low-light capabilities over the last couple of years. A couple of years ago I spent another evening up at these falls. At that time I was using a Canon 1D Mark III and when compared with the image above and others where I used a 5D Mark III, the detail, structure of the noise and the color are all vastly improved. The technology is less and less of an obstacle to realizing the images I want to make. I like that a lot.
Gold at Elbow Falls
(please click on this image to link to a higher resolution file)
Clouds blocked the early pink light at down this morning but as the color went to gold, nice breaks higher off the horizon let the sunlight in. The light reflected on the water and the look of the rocks under the water made a very pretty scene.
A Cold Dawn at Elbow Falls
Following Saturday's snow storm, we had a beautiful day today. Sunrise came along at 6am sharp this morning and I drove up to Elbow Falls early and met the day there. The snow was still holding onto the trees and rocks so the landscape along the river had a strong winter tone. I was hoping for the early, pink light to reflect off of the clouds stacked above the mountains into this scene. That did not happen, some clouds eastwards blocked the sunlight until the sun was well clear of the horizon. When the sunlight did reach into the valley, it was beautiful.
On the way up to the falls I even had a minute to take a nice photograph of a moose sitting up in her bedded down spot from the quick ending night. A pretty great morning in my photographic book.
A Quiet Morning at Elbow Falls
I have not been up to Elbow Falls in a couple of months so I went for the sunrise on Sunday. The sky wasn't too cooperative – the clouds hid behind the K-Country mountains instead of catching the morning light while anchored above them, but there was a skiff of snow from the night before that was a nice element to work in.
With the low water and lack of snow around the waterfall, the rocks took center stage and looked beautiful.
Here the snow can be seen in the branches and dusting the rocks. I enjoyed the palette of colors and the softening effect, here and there, of the snow in these scenes.
When the sun first cleared the eastern ridges, it was softened by a bit of haze and the veins of the falls seemed to glow under this gentle light.
A short time later it rose above the haze and this was the last image I made with the sunlight still playing really well with this landscape.
It was another good morning at Elbow Falls. One of many special places in Kananaskis and a favourite place for me to spend time. I created a small gallery on my website from this morning which includes these images and a few more, check them out if you are interested.

Alan Klein and his family were eager to meet Janet Crandall today. She was one of two off-duty nurses who helped saved his life last month.
"Nothing but the highest regards for them. The fact that they accepted responsibility to their craft and stopped and did their job," said Alan.
On May 12th, Alan and his daughter rode their bikes in the "Tour de Cure" ride to benefit the American Diabetes Association. But the 40-mile ride was cut short when Alan suffered a cardiac arrest.
"I didn't remember the race. I didn't remember really having the wreck or anything," said Alan. "Other than being pretty fortunate where it happened at and when it did."
About five miles from the start of the course, Alan hit the ground. It was then that Janet and another off-duty nurse named Jill used their life saving skills to give him CPR.
"I was in the right place, at the right time. I'm thankful that God's given me this strength to handle emergency situations in the way that I can," said Janet.
Both nurses did not think Alan would make it after they were unable to get a pulse. They said it was a miracle that Alan is alive.
"He left in the ambulance that day, the other nurse and I just kind of held on to each other. We just shook our head. We said, 'We did the best we could do,'" she said.
Alan said he will forever be grateful for the two strangers who chose to save his life.
"I'm a testimony that people do that. People do care about people they don't know," said Alan.
Alan will be released from the Via Christi Rehabilitation Hospital on Tuesday.
Janet will be riding in the "Bike Across Kansas" ride this week. She hopes this does not happen again but said she is ready to help another stranger if it does.

The Olympic gold medalist Lasse Norman Hansen and the other riders in the breakaway is extending their lead with 5 laps remaining on the course.
The broadcast motorcycle gets good shots of the bravely fighting breakaway. Among them last year's winner Sebastian Lander from BMC Racing Team, who is not afraid to push in front.
Several riders, especially from the smaller team, tries in vain to pull away, but a high-speed peloton won't let them out of sight.
Saxo Tinkoff are well represented in the race. Mads Christensen and Team Designa Kitchen's Jonas Nordkroggaard are trying to get away from the peloton.
The penultimate lap and the positioning battle in front starts to get tough. A Team Three-For rider is taking the lead.

Kosher salt alternatives...
- t
- tinpanalley Dec 22, 2012 08:45 AM
Is there a direct alternative to Kosher salt to cook with and also to season? I'm in Paris and I can't find Kosher salt anywhere. I haven't looked in specialty shops but regular grocery stores don't have it.
Any thoughts?
re: foodieX2
Oh ok. I thought there was something different between Kosher, sea salt, etc otherwise why make the distinctions. Maybe different levels of iodine? For example sea salt dissolves faster and loses its flavour when cooked so it is more of a finishing salt.
re: tinpanalley
Sea salt doesn't "lose flavor" any more or less than any other salt. The salt components of all "gourmet" salts be they Himalayan, exotic sea or smoked salts are exactly the same as table salt. The only difference is that they may have some additional minerals added.
re: ferret
They also tend to not have the anti clumping additives that table salt has.
re: ferret
Re: food network in the post below by "scoutmaster".
Sea salt:
these salts are usually expensive, it is worth keeping in mind that they lose their unique flavor when cooked or dissolved.
re: tinpanalley
They don't lose salt flavor, it's that the minute amounts of added stuff dissipates. The salt still tastes like salt.
re: tinpanalley
I guarantee if you put say 5 tablespoons of sea salt in a recipe that calls for 1 tablespoon you will definitely see what we mean when we say sea salt doesn't lose it's salt flavor when cooked.
re: tinpanalley
The big variable among salts, regardless of origin, is crystal size. Fine grain, whether called fine sea salt or table salt, dissolves quickly. It seasons the food, but looses its identity. A coarser salt when applied shortly before serving, stays more on the surface, and may even survive as crystals till you eat the food. Then you get an immediate taste of salt, and even a crunch.
Sea salt can be fine or coarse.
re: GH1618
Diamond brand is flattened, but I don't think other brands are (e.g. Morton).
The only significant difference for most cooks is the density. The grains are a bit larger than table salt (the kind that goes in shakers), and in some brands is more like a flattened flake than a crystal. So if working by volume, a teaspoon of kosher has 2/3 to 1/2 the mass of a finer grain. The density of kosher salt differs by brand.
It is called 'kosher' because it is free of anti-caking agents and such that might make a brining (koshering) solution cloudy.
I keep both fine salt and kosher salt on hand in the kitchen. The kosher is in a small jar, and I 'measure' it by the pinch. But for baking I tend to use the finer stuff, keeping in mind the density issue if the recipe calls for kosher.
I think a lot of American recipes call for kosher salt simply because it has a more trendy, 'gourmet' sound to it.
re: foodieX2
While I think the idea of Kosher salt being trendy is hilarious as well, I can see the point in referring to certain kinds of people who love to talk like "foodies" trying to sound sophisticated by knowing terminology that is used by people who cook more than others. I don't think anyone here thinks kosher salt and trendy belong in the same sentence.
re: tinpanalley
"Many cooks and recipes specify that kosher salt be used. Why? Truth be told, because it's trendy, mostly. Kosher salt is relatively pure sodium chloride, and so is the usual table salt that is available in every supermarket and half or less the price. If you think you can taste the iodine in iodized salt, buy the uniodized version and save some money."
This author, like myself, thinks kosher salt is fine for pinching, but doesn't make much sense in other uses (taking into account density).
Admittedly it is a 20 yr old trend. There are newer salt trends, like sea salt or designer colors.
re: paulj
I use kosher salt for general use. Since I'm not inclined to measure salt I can add it by eye and come out okay. Where salt needs more precise measurements, measuring by weight is preferred.
Just to weigh in on comments about flavor, the small amount of minerals in most cases are not appreciated by most users of expensive sea salt. Texture maybe but I have my doubts about flavor. This is a place where blind tasting will be very revealing
re: foodieX2
"Trendy? Kosher salt? OK, thanks for my laugh of the day! <<big grin>>"
Or better yet gourmet. One of the reasons we use kosher salt in a professional kitchen when we can is because its much cheaper than all the finishing salts!
re: paulj
Yes, the pastry chefs tend to use finely ground sea salt for most applications in my experience. I think many pastry chefs may also use regular iodized table salt, but we dont keep any of that stuff around in the places I have worked. We use kosher and finely ground sea salt for cooking depending on what we are doing, and keep maldon/fleur de sel/hana flake etc around to use for finishing salts.
re: John Francis
But all salt is sea salt
re: scubadoo97
Not in the context of this discussion.
I am currently using a box of 'kosher sea salt' from Atica Salina in Sicily. It's really just a medium coarse salt that is 'easy to pick up and sprinkle on food' (so the label says). It's actually a bit coarser than Morton's and not at all flaky like Diamond. And doesn't dissolve very fast. It was also pretty cheap, since I got it at Big Lots, a clearance store.
When in Paris, do what the Parisians do (whatever that is). The criteria for cooking are that you don't want unwanted flavors introduced by impurities or additives, and you want consistency. Even if you found kosher salt, it would likely be different than your US brand, so you would not have consistency. Even within the US, the two most common brands differ as to crystal structure and density. If you can't get exactly what you are familiar with, just use what is used for cooking there and adapt to it.
re: GH1618
This isn't about what Parisians or anyone else for that matter does or doesn't do. It is widely accepted, as far as I am aware, that Kosher salt is what chefs and cooks use in most of the western world. This isn't an attempt to do what I used to do in the states, it's an attempt to continue cooking with an integral ingredient recognised in most places as being a staple of cooking.
re: tinpanalley
But in the OP you wrote that you can't find kosher salt in Paris. Doesn't that imply that it is not used by chefs in the city?
Trying to imitate professionals in the home kitchen is part of the trendiness I was talking about. I stated using kosher salt several decades ago, most likely due to the influence of some forgotten TV chef (possibly Frugal Gourmet). Kosher salt is like EVOO; something that many of us home cooks use because we think the real chefs use it (because RR has told us so). But often we don't understand by the chefs use it, and when they don't use it.
What is the difference between kosher salt, sea salt, and table salt?
"Kosher" salt is nothing but foodie trendiness; the stuff is NOT kosher. All you need is any very coarse grained salt. I use a French brand of coarse salt, "Baleine".
re: LouBricano
"Kosher" refers to its intended use for "koshering" meat. It's preferred by cooks to table salt because it lacks iodine and because the flattened grains are more comfortable when taking a pinch. "Trendiness" has nothing to do with it.
re: GH1618
I know that the "kosher" in "kosher salt" refers to its use in the koshering process, but I don't believe most people who reflexively call for its use in everyday cooking know that. Trendiness has EVERYTHING to do with it. This is foodie-ism at its worst. There are myriad coarse crystal salt products that don't have "kosher" on the label. Food and recipe writers COULD simply say to use a coarse, pinchable salt, such as "Baleine" brand or any of these: http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&n.... No, there's definitely something beyond simply wanting the appropriate product. It's trendiness - an insider "thing".
re: LouBricano
There certainly are not "myriad" choices of coarse salt in every grocery. Just about any supermarket has Morton Coarse Kosher Salt, as well as Morton table salt. Other salts are not nearly as widely available. Another reason the "kosher" salt is preferred by cooks is that the 3-lb box is more convenient than the 26-oz cylindrical box that the table salt comes in. Morton Kosher Salt is just ordinary salt.
Salt is important in cooking as it is the foundation of seasoning. Whatever salt you use, it is best to stick to one brand and type for consistent results.
re: GH1618
There are myriad choices of salt available anywhere that a trendy foodie is going to be purchasing groceries.
Look: what you mean when specifying "kosher" salt is just coarse grained - large crystals - salt. That's what so-called "kosher" (which isn't kosher) salt is. So why not just say that?
There DEFINITELY is some trendy foodie thing going on with rigidly specifying "kosher" salt. It's irritating as all hell. Just cut the nonsense and call it coarse salt - that's all it is.
re: LouBricano
I don't see why you feel a need to put down people who happen to use a different type of salt than you do. Use any salt you like. For those of here who use "kosher" salt for cooking, it is just ordinary cooking salt which is inexpensive, comes in a convenient package, and has a nice texture when taking a pinch.
re: GH1618
I'm not "putting down people" for using any particular salt. I am criticizing people for their blind adherence to a rigid and IRRATIONAL foodie orthodoxy. It is a legitimate criticism.
re: LouBricano
I wouldn't call it trendy but readily available, inexpensive with less additives and easy to measure by hand. But even kosher salts vary in composition. Some purer than others and certainly vary in flake size.
Since I use Diamond brand most often for general use I can eye it quite well when seasoning a dish
re: scubadoo97
'readily available' - in the USA. The OP was asking about alternatives where it is not readily available.
re: scubadoo97
Come on - cut the guff. When you're seasoning a dish that provides four or more servings, a pinch (or equivalent sprinkle) of table salt or a pinch of coarse grain salt is not going to make ANY detectable difference; and a pinch of salt labeled "kosher" versus a pinch of any other coarse grained salt is not going to make ANY difference in the world. No, there's definitely some insider trendy foodie aspect to a *specific* requirement for "kosher" salt, which is not, as we have seen, actually kosher.
re: LouBricano
It feels like I get more salt in a pinch when using a coarser salt. The fine stuff flows out before I get much of a grip on it. It is also easier to dribble the coarser stuff evenly around the top of the pot. To do the same with fine salt I have to use a shaker. It is harder to judge how much salt I've added when using a shaker.
re: LouBricano
You are missing the fundamental point here, which is that a good cook must control the saltiness — not too much, not too little. It is better to stick to one brand and type of salt because different salts have different densities. Sticking to one brand and type of salt helps a cook be consistent in properly salting food.
There are two widely available coarse salts in the US: Morton Coarse Kosher Salt and Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt. Those are the names. They are not interchangeable (when measured) by volume) because their densities are significantly different. If a cook sends someone to the store to get some salt, he (or she) should say which brand and type. It is not sufficient to say "Morton" because Morton table salt will be found along with the kosher salt, so the cook will order "Morton Kosher Salt" (or Diamond Kosher Salt) to be sure of getting the right product.
If you don't like the use of "Kosher" in the name of the salt, it seems to me that you should direct your complaint to the salt manufacturers, not to us poor souls who are merely trying to prepare dinner and have the seasoning come out right.
re: LouBricano
The name predates the nonsense. Why get your shorts in a knot?
re: LouBricano
While salt is salt, Kosher salt is coarser than table salt but not as dense as the coarse salts you link to. It is indeed a different size.

LG is poor quality
Attractive Design
Energy Efficient
Bad Ice Maker
Flimsy Shelves
Not Cold Enough
Best Uses
The ice maker is poor and sometimes works and sometimes not. The freezer shelves don't slide properly. poor construction. Have had 3 service men out to try and fix the problem - it works for awhile but then breaks again. LG won't even discuss a new refrigerator with me, just always wants to send a person to fix it. This is very flimsy constructed.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrible construction, customer service
Flimsy Shelves
Poor Layout
Very Inconvenient Freezer
Best Uses
The fridge keeps food cold, but the construction is flimsy. The bottom freezer shelf collapsed, the door shelves in the fridge cracked, and BOTH the freezer and fridge handles have broken off. And believe me, it's not me. The thing is as cheap as they come. Worse, LG customer service is awful - rude, dismissive, and to repair this is incredibly expensive.

I'm giving it away and buying a KitchenAid, which I should have done (but was talked into this monster by a salesperson).

Lg Refrigerator
Attractive Design
Customizable Shelving
Easy Access
Energy Efficient
Holds Temperature Well
Space For Tall Items
Flimsy Shelves
Best Uses
We had the refrigerator one year when the door shelf broke off and the compreesor went. The compressor was under warranty but didn't include labor. We replaced both and then the main shelf broke. We replaced the main shelf and it broke a second time. Now the door shelf and main shelf is cracked again. Not impressed with this product and once warranty is over LG does't want to hear fom you at all and is not helpful in anyway.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After several incident with clients which ended up in Ms. Conrad filing multiple lawsuits, it seems the U.S. District Courts have had enough.

Copyright Case: Who Owns "Happy Birthday"?
Thinking of video taping that special someone's Birthday festivities? Not so fast… You may be documenting an unfolding crime. Unbeknownst to myself and the general public, you could potentially be treading the line of infringing upon United States Copyright Law. As soon as the widely believed "timeless classic", "Happy Birthday to You" ballad escapes your lips you are leaving yourself susceptible to civil lawsuit by the copyright holder; in this case, Warner/Chappell Music Inc. To prevent one's self from running afoul of the law one must pay the $1500 licensing fee imposed by Warner/Chappell Music Inc.Google+
Bieber Fever: Star Named in Copyright Lawsuit
Just like the common cold, pretty much everyone has had Bieber fever, but apparently people are immune to the epidemic. Two songwriters, Devin Copeland and Mareio Overton, filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in Virginia against the pop star. Justin Beiber and Usher are facing a $10 million lawsuit for supposedly stealing song "Somebody to Love." Back in 2009, Copeland and Overton claim that "Somebody To Love" was presented to Usher and Jonetta Patton, Usher's mother, who also plays the role of his manager from time to time, by music scouts. They state that copy was never returned and that they never heard back from Jonetta or anyone associated with the company. Read moreGoogle+
Achtung Spidey! Broadway Lawsuit Set for Court
Spider-Man has always been much more familiar with spandex suits than lawsuits. The Broadway play 'Turn Off the Dark' is slinging across headlines after the old co-writer and musical director Julie Taymor is suing over copyright infringement. She is seeking compensation up to $1 million after being terminated after the show suffered from freak injuries and other mishaps. It was believed that a decision could be reached, however sources claim the final stumbling block was creative control over Marvel's web-head himself. U2′s Bono and The Edge, who are the show's composers, are also set to appear for the court date in New York, officially set for May 28. Read moreGoogle+
Apple and Amazon Urged to Reach Settlement
Think of this as a teaser for a heavyweight match that will take place in a few months. A judge has ordered that Apple and Amazon attempt to reach a settlement over use of the word "Appstore" before their big court date in the summer. Apple, the technology giant, claims that they own rights to the phrase and had already sued the e-commerce site Amazon.com. A judge had ruled that Apple had no claim to the fictional phrase. U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Laporte has urged the two companies to gather this spring in attempts to avoid a later clash over the intellectual property, copyrights, or trademarks. If no settlement is reached, Apple and Amazon will soon go before a judge in Southern California over using "Appstore". Read moreGoogle+

Young Fredleby Cynthia Voigt
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Cynthia Voigt crafts a novel about discovery, perspective, and the meaning of home—all through the eyes of an affable and worried little mouse. Fredle is an earnest young fellow suddenly cast out of his cozy home behind the kitchen cabinets—into the outside. It's a new world of color and texture and grass and sky. But with all that comes snakes and rain and lawnmowers and raccoons and a different sort of mouse (field mice, they're called) not entirely trustworthy. Do the dangers outweigh the thrill of discovery? Fredle's quest to get back inside soon becomes a wild adventure of predators and allies, of color and sound, of discovery and nostalgia. And, as Fredle himself will come to understand, of freedom.

My hamster loves to run in his ball. If I would let him he would all night long. the only problem I came across was cleaning it out was sometimes a little difficult. Overall the ball is worth it for the amount of exercise my hamster got.
Pros: love to run in it forever
Cons: hard to clean the poop out of the little cracks

FORT WAYNE – Bishop Dwenger is looking for more consistency – and more success – in 2013.
After losing their starting quarterback to a knee injury in the preseason, the Saints were up and down in a season that saw them use four quarterbacks, finish under .500 (6-7) for the first time in 13 years but still win a sectional championship.
"The ones who were with it, they are dissatisfied," Dwenger coach Chris Svarczkopf said of last year. "They want to make sure they leave something. This is the 50th anniversary of our school, and they want to set the tone for the kind of year we have at the school.
"I am looking to see where the payoff is for the investment that these young men have made. They have done everything we have asked, and we have asked more of them than anybody else."
Last year's rocky season came on the heels of 2011's 7-5 campaign that ended the Saints' five-year run as SAC champions and 10-plus win seasons. Also, Dwenger had advanced to at least the semistate for five straight years.
"Especially with the seniors, (the hunger for success) is a lot more than it has been the last two years," senior lineman Nathan Niese said. "We all want it so bad."
It all starts with getting senior quarterback Mike Fiacable back. After a year of surgery, recovery and rehabilitation, Fiacable returns after being the starter as a sophomore.
"We are excited that we have Mike back and a lot of other injured players back," Niese said. "Last year wasn't one of our best seasons, but we really want to come back and make a statement this year."
Despite losing running back D'Marcus Moon after his move to North Side, the offense still looks to have the makings of a solid unit with senior tight end Ryan Wattercutter as Fiacable's main target. Wattercutter, who was an All-SAC defensive back last year, has already broken some of former Notre Dame star and Cincinnati Bengals rookie tight end Tyler Eifert's school records. Receivers Kennan Centlivre, Marcus Stepp, Gabe Espinoza and Gus Schrader also return. Watercutter, Schrader, Centlivre and Stepp also return on defense.
And the four QBs who filled in for Fiacable last year are all back. Some will be moving to other positions, with a possibility of returning to quarterback if warranted. Cody Miller, who threw for as many passing yards last year as Fiacable did as a sophomore, will be used as a running back and defensive back as will Peyton Philpot.
Sam Schenkel and John Kelty could be used elsewhere and also be backup quarterbacks.
"We are at the point where we have four or five of them who we wouldn't hesitate to put any of them in, and we didn't at the competitions we were at this spring and summer," Svarczkopf said of the abundance of quarterbacks.
"They have all had to learn other positions too because only one quarterback can play. We have found places for them to go, but they have still keeping their hand at quarterback just in case we need something because you run an offense like ours and play against the competition we face, you never know."

THANKS FOR EVERY FAV ,COMMENT AND FOLLOW .Jul 18th
I am an artist who enjoys creating illustrations for all ages. When I first started drawing, I drew anime fanart. Even though it wasn't all that good, I kept going. I later drifted away from anime into more of a fantasy interest and started painting faeries in watercolors. Due to the high prices for traditional media, I switched to digital media only in 2008. After temporarily getting bored with fantasy in 2010, I began to paint animals. I would still do fantasy from time to time, but focus on animals. Since summer 2013, I have reincorporated fantasy, but with the anime style, back into my gallery.

HI......Thank you for the follow.. ME....Jun 5th, 2013
Hello everyone! My name is Svetlana. I am educated as a drawing teacher. One of my greatest interests has always been graphic design. After the university graduation I was invited to teach computer graphics and design in the Institute for students with limited possibilities. It gave me a great experience for self-studies of different graphic programs such as vector and raster ones, as well as animations. After that I finished a "Graphic Design in Advertising" course in Professional Architecture and Design School. It helped me also to gain more experience and knowledge of theory and practice in graphics. Now I am a freelancer and Photoshop and CorelDraw take the main part of my art life. As for digital art, I have been addicted to it for 3 years. As a designer, I made a lot of photomanipulations and collages, and as soon as I started drawing eye-lashes, hair, clothes etc, I realised it was the thing I really needed and now there is no way back.Jan 25th, 2013

Heirloom Life Gardener
An ancient staple crop grown throughout North and South America. Sow bean seeds 1-2 inches deep in full sun, when danger of frost is past. Soaking for 1-2 hours before planting speeds germination. Beans will rot if soil is cold or very wet. Sow bush types 6-12 inches apart in beds; pole beans 6 inches apart in rows. Provide support for pole types. Harvest for snaps when pods are good-sized; keep snaps well-picked, as production slows as seed matures. Strings will develop in over-mature pods in any variety. For dry beans leave pods on the plants until dry, or pick when leathery, and dry indoors. Be sure to save a few heirloom bean seeds from your garden to plant next year!

Having power is also a responsibility.
"We are the first generation to understand the responsibility for our actions and impact they have on our world. We shaped our past - we can shape our future."
This is a short but very beautiful and rather positive film about our journey from the industrial revolution to today and how humans took charge of the earth.
The interesting thing to note that speedily growth, over consumption and degradation of natural resources at accelerated pace began in 1950. After the Second World War. This was the tipping point. I wonder why.

If only everyone could see this and understand it.
When she stares at your mouth
Kiss her
When she pushes you or hits you like a dummy cause she
thinks shes stronger than you
Grab her and don't let go
When she starts cursing at you trying to act all tough
Kiss her and tell her you love her
When she's quiet
Ask her whats wrong
When she ignores you
Give her your attention
When she pulls away
Pull her back
When you see her at her worst
Tell her she's beautiful
When you see her start crying
Just hold her and don't say a word
When you see her walking
Sneak up and hug her waist from behind
When she's scared
Protect her
When she steals your favorite hoodie
Let her keep it and sleep with it for a night
When she teases you
Tease her back and make her laugh
When she doesn't answer for a long time
reassure her that everything is okay
When she looks at you with doubt
Back yourself up
When she says that she loves you
she really does more than you can understand
When she grabs at your hands
Hold her's and play with her fingers
When she bumps into you;
bump into her back and make her laugh
When she tells you a secret

When she looks at you in your eyes
dont look away until she does
When she says it's over

Mars – one of the planets in the grand earth trine happening now – has been backing into a triple conjunction with asteroids Eros and Psyche in Virgo. Eros and Psyche happen to be two characters linked in myth. Taken together with Mars, this trio deepens the theme of 'the psychology of desire' already associated with this Mars retrograde.
Is it hard for you to trust that another loves and desires you without demanding 'proof'? It can be a fine line between trusting love will come your way if you are open to receiving it, versus grasping for it and instead turning it into something else (like obligation or validation), thereby 'losing' it. How often have you let the fear of losing love get in the way of enjoying the love being offered to you? Too many people in this world don't actually believe they are worthy of what they desire, or that they are okay for desiring it.
Mars retrograde conjunct Eros and Psyche seems to be asking us to sort out insecurities along these lines. It's about healing those seemingly un-healable hurts we carry that tell us we're not really loved, or that we will lose what we love, or that we can't trust love to be the continuum it is. There's also something here about how the socially-insisted upon model of relationships simply doesn't work for everybody. And that can leave people feeling very wrong in who they are, for no good reason. If you're struggling with some variation of one of these issues – and they might manifest as jealousy or self-sabotage or passive-aggression in an intimate relationship – there's an opportunity here for some perspective and self-understanding.
The larger context is the grand trine saying, 'trust yourself to step forward, and when you take the step, allow the universe to meet you halfway — and then be open to receiving what is offered'. But forward toward what? Well, forward into a way of relating that may be very new to you. It may feel like being unmoored at first, if you've been using your insecurities as a source of false power. Forward toward an understanding of yourself that allows you to offer yourself some compassion and forgiveness; forward into a space that lets you see the love offered to you; forward into your own center, so that you can feel just how much love you can give.

Analysis: Defense strategy shifts balance of U.S. forces
Friday - 1/6/2012, 10:50am EST
By Michael O'Connell
Web Editor
Federal News Radio
President Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta sketched plans Thursday for limiting military budgets while not leaving the country naked. But they offered few details.
"The big takeaway is that there's going to be a shift in regional focus," said Todd Harrison, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. He offered his analysis of Thursday's DoD announcement on The Federal Drive with Tom Temin.
"We're going to be focusing more on Asia and the Western Pacific, countering a rising perceived military threat from China," Harrison said. "So, that is going to be central in planning for DoD in the future. They're also going to maintain their current focus on the Middle East, particularly to counter countries like Iran and serve as a stabilizing force in that region."
The other key part of DoD's strategy is to rebalance of the forces in the military by reducing the size of ground forces and focusing on air and sea power in the future. The latter part bolsters longer-range elements in response to the perceived threat in the Western Pacific.
DoD budget guidance aims for leaner, more agile military

And remember: when you consciously look at your life, you are bound to become ignorant again - because knowledge as such is not possible. Life remains a mystery. There is no way to demystify it. That's what knowledge is trying to do: it is a demystification of life. It tries to destroy mystery. It makes everything clear, explained away.
The whole effort of knowledge is how to banish mystery from existence. It cannot be banished. It is its ultimate nature. It is not an accidental quality. Mystery is the very core of life. Life is mysterious - they are synonymous.
So the man of knowledge does not destroy the mystery of life. He simply closes his eyes with a very thick curtain of knowledge, and starts thinking he knows. He knows nothing.
It will look strange to you and very paradoxical, but it is so. The man who knows, knows nothing. And the man who knows that he is ignorant has started knowing. The whole point is of consciousness.
A confusion!, ignorance is what disciple hood is - conscious ignorance. But people are living in unconsciousness. And they go on groping. In unconsciousness they go to the masters, but in unconsciousness. They remain with the masters but fast asleep. Sooner or later they become fed up, because nothing is happening. Nothing can happen if you remain unconscious. You cannot connect with the master. They remain cunning, clever, even when they are with a master. Nothing happens. Nothing can happen in knowledgeability.
Sooner or later they decide that this is not the right master - without ever thinking, "Am I the right disciple yet?" That should be the basic question. It is none of your business who is the right master or not. And how can you decide? You don't know what a master is. You are not even a disciple yet! You have not taken even the first step and you are thinking and deciding and judging about the last step. It is better to keep quiet.
Just think about one thing again and again, remind yourself again and again: "Am I the right disciple? Am I ready to learn? Have I dropped my knowledge? Have I come with an open heart? Am I trying to become more conscious of what I am doing? Is my prayer conscious? When I sit by the side of the master, am I sitting there consciously, alert, aware? When I listen to the master, am I really listening? or just hearing?"
Hearing is one thing: listening is very different. Hearing is simple; anybody hears. Whosoever has ears can hear. Listening is rare. When your ear and your heart are together, then listening happens. When you hear, your mind is full of thoughts; the turmoil continues, the traffic continues. All kinds of noises, thoughts, prejudices.through that crowd, yes, you hear, but you can't listen. For listening, silence is needed. There should be no clouds inside you, no thought stirring. Just a pure silence, then listening happens.
The disciple has to ask again and again, "Am I really a disciple? Am I yet a disciple?" And if you remain alert about that, you will find many masters in life. But if you are not aware of it, you may come to a buddha and go empty-handed.

|Imperfect team could lose key players in offseason
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 04 February 2008 12:57
Now they don't even have that.
Dominant in the first half of the season, they survived some close calls afterward. But that finally caught up with them in the Super Bowl and left them facing an offseason of what-ifs and what-will bes.
What if their offensive line studded with three Pro Bowl players had kept the team's most important player from being knocked down time after time in the most important game?
Will Randy Moss and Asante Samuel leave?
Will Rodney Harrison, Tedy Bruschi and Junior Seau, the three oldest defensive starters, retire?
And next time, will coach Bill Belichick hang around until the end of the game instead of heading for the locker room with a second left and a security escort Tom Brady would have envied.
l be honored at a victory parade Tuesday.
Brady was sacked five times in Sunday's 17-14 loss, the most in his 92 games since the New York Jets did that in the third game of the 2003 season on Sept. 21, 2003.
So the Patriots finished 18-1 and disappointed, not 19-0 and historic. That left the 1972 Miami Dolphins, who were 17-0, as the only NFL team to go undefeated.
Brady was a near unanimous choice for the league's MVP and was brilliant in the first eight games of the season. He was not as good after that.
His five worst passer ratings came in his last eight games, including the postseason. In the AFC championship game against San Diego, he threw a season-high three interceptions. In the Super Bowl, he was uncharacteristically inaccurate on some passes even when he had time to throw.
``I'm sure we all could have done things better, but it's just part of competition,'' Brady said of the devastating defeat.
New England won three Super Bowls in four seasons before falling short the next three years - losing to Denver in a divisional playoff game, to Indianapolis in last year's AFC championship game and to New York in the latest disappointment.
gning him for one year after he held out for a long-term contract.
The offense set several single-season records: 50 touchdown passes by Brady, 23 scoring catches by Moss and 589 total points.
But the season began with off-field problems.
Harrison, the hard-hitting safety, was suspended for the first four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
After the season-opening 38-14 win over the New York Jets, the NFL fined Belichick $500,000 and the team $250,000 and took away a first-round draft choice as punishment for videotaping Jets' coaches on their sideline.
That only fired up the Patriots. They were accused of running up the score in some of their wins.
But the Patriots shrugged off the criticism and kept focusing on the next opponent. They won each of their first eight games by at least 17 points.
Then the powerhouse that pulled away from opponents began letting them hang around.
In their ninth game, they beat Indianapolis 24-20 on a touchdown with 3:15 left. In their 11th, they scored the go-ahead touchdown with 7:20 to go but needed two interceptions in the last four minutes to clinch the 31-28 win over Philadelphia.
The following week was the greatest of escapes.
call against the Ravens. On the next play, Brady threw the winning 8-yard scoring pass to Jabar Gaffney with 44 seconds left.
And, in the last regular-season game, the defense struggled in a 38-35 win over the Giants.
But how long could their good fortune hold out?
Not long enough.
With 2:42 left in the Super Bowl, Brady's 6-yard touchdown pass to Moss gave the Patriots a 14-10 lead.
But the defense couldn't hold it. Eli Manning directed an 83-yard drive and hit Plaxico Burress for the decisive 13-yard scoring pass with 35 seconds remaining.
Perfection denied.
``It's not even worth talking about it now because it's over. It didn't happen,'' Bruschi said. ``We can look back on this year with a positive attitude and some of the things we accomplished. But when you don't finish, I mean, that's all we're about.''
Belichick didn't finish either.
After Brady's fourth-down desperation pass to Moss fell incomplete, Belichick went on the field for a handshake with Giants coach Tom Coughlin.
There was still 1 second left, but Belichick continued toward the locker room as Manning knelt down on the final play. Moss once left the field with 2 seconds remaining in a regular-season loss to Washington when he was with Minnesota and was criticized for it by his quarterback, Daunte Culpepper.
Belichick, at least, will be back.
Seau, 39, may not be.
``I haven't thought about the future. I am having too much fun,'' he said. Losing ``will not affect my decision.''
Harrison, 35, was beset by injuries in 2006 and 2007. Bruschi, 34, suffered a stroke after the Patriots last Super Bowl win but returned midway through the next season in 2005.
``I can't let that loss take away from everything that happened this season,'' Harrison said.
Moss, who took a pay cut for a shot at the Super Bowl, may not be back for another with the Patriots.
``I would love to be in a New England Patriots uniform,'' he said, ``but, if not, the show must go on.''
It will continue with Belichick and Brady, of course, partners in four Super Bowls - all decided by three points.
``We usually are on the better side of those three-point wins,'' Brady said. ``We just have to regroup and come back and try to make it stronger next year.''
