You are hereKorea / Korean Culture / Korean Pottery
Korean Pottery
Satisfying both practical and stylish needs, Korean pottery has for centuries been a central form of artistic expression in this ancient culture. Ceramics also stand out as the most famous of Korean art forms sought after by art historians and connoisseurs around the world. However, to take a comprehensive look at Korean pottery it is imperative that we look back at the country's history and foundation as the past has truly cast a mold for this ancient art.
The Three Kingdoms period (100 BCE-668BC) gave rise to the birth of pottery in Korea. During the Silla Era (668-935), Korean pottery was characterized by simplicity in shape, color, and design. A celadon glaze and color was primarily used for pieces during this period, and its basic white appearance and simplicity was actively sought as a distinguishing feature to set Korean pottery apart from the more complex styles of China at the time.
The Goryeo Dynasty (918 -1392) saw a shift from earthenware culture develop into designs made of ceramic and is the period known for producing some of the finest, small-scale pieces that have ever been discovered. It was during this period that intricate designs such as geometric images, fish, insects, flower and elliptical bands, foliate, and incised images began appearing on the pottery in Korea.
Celedon, brown, and black glazes enhanced large and small bowls, broad-shouldered bottles, and inlaid cups while the Buddhist pottery forms appeared in melon-shaped vases and chrysanthemum cups enhanced by unique architectural structures made on stands with lotus themes and lotus flower heads.
The Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) is known for producing the highest quality of pottery and is considered the golden age of Korean pottery. Its style took cues from Chinese forms in regards to color, shape, and technique. Pear-shaped bottles were prominent during this period as were both thinner and colorless glazes used for stoneware.
Pottery of the Joseon period is often divided into three different stages: early (1300-1500), middle (1500-1700), and late (1700-1910). The style fluctuated between the complex and the simple, reflecting the tastes of various regions and older Korean traditions. The increasing influence of Confucianist thought and its ideals led to purer, less pretentious forms absent of artifice and complexity, and saw a rise in the popularity of white porcelain.
Today, many ceramic villages or dochon exist where the ceramic making tradition in Korea still continues. The Incheon Ceramics Village is the largest of these and has over 80 ceramic factories. Visitors are able to take tours of the pottery factories and see the process from start to finish with their own eyes. The tours serve as an invaluable tool to learn about the history of Korean pottery firsthand and, of course, provide the opportunity to purchase modern Korean pottery that continues to be shaped and finely molded by that of the country's rich past.

Bamboo hardwood flooring is a member of the grass family. It is known for its fast growth with it taking only three years to reach maturity without using any fertilization. It is then laminated into vertical flooring or in three horizontal flooring layers. Bamboo floors have become very popular due to their low cost, floor refinishing possibilities, elegant look, and durability.

We just had our whole new house refinished and new floors installed. We love the floors. Great experience. Very easy to do business with! I highly recommend them!
Why isn�t there a plus sign I can add to my rating? I LOVED MY TOTAL EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR FLOOR! From the first time I contacted the company through Angie�s List through completion of my installation I could not be more pleased. First Steve was my salesperson, but I must say he didn�t �sell� me anything. I was upfront and honest about what I wanted and my budget and he showed me options that were within my range in my home with many options to choose from. He was super flexible and made two visits to make certain I would be happy with my selection. The install crew was AMAZING! They took more care moving my furniture and belongings than a moving crew. They moved and wrapped my furniture and worked so neatly! I was surprised that they managed to pull up carpeting in 2 rooms, hallway, stairs, and removed laminate flooring from 2 additional rooms and install over 1000 sq feet of hardwood with no mess. They worked neatly and cleaned up as they went and perfectly at the end of each day. Everyone was friendly and I felt went above and beyond. They even swept my driveway to make certain there was no debris left behind. They fixed the creaky spots in my hallway and reinstalled a closet door that had come off track. My flooring is absolutely stunning and it took less than two days! Your Floor is a professional company with excellent, sales, office and installation people. I would use again and recommend to anyone who dislikes high-pressured sales.

Had our floors refinished. They did an OK job. There are a few ripples & stain smudges and they did not sand the shoe molding before staining it. Our biggest problem is they did not take any measures to cover the vents & all the sawdust from their supposed dustless system went into our air system. They refused to do anything about it. They threatened to turn us over to collection one week after the work was done even though they had not yet sent us a final bill. Even worse, the owner was rude AND we got nasty & harassing text messages from their worker. He even called us at 11:30pm & 1:00am drunk to tell us off. We would never use them again. Very unprofessional.

We are really sorry to see this review on our profile. The only complaint we received from the customer above was about the dust being in the A/C. Our crew manager, Robert, went out to examine and address the issue. The customer took him to the basement and pointed to a very old filter full of pet air --- no saw dust or any other debris that may have been the result of refinishing floors. Furthermore, the A/c was off through out the whole project. Robert point out to the undeniable fact that there wasn't any saw dust of any sort in the unit. Due to the continuing pervasive language, tirades and dishonesty towards our staff we were not able to work together with the customer to mutually solve the issue. It's been a month since the completion of the project and the customer has still not made payment for the work completed. Lastly, we regret to see dishonesty again in the review. No one from our company called at late hours in the manner suggested.
I scheduled an appointment online on the 12th for the 21st. at 10:00am with a Salesperson. Today (20th) I get a call and the person (Steve) tells me they will have to cancel the appointment. Whaaat! I asked why... Becuase we don't service the southside of Atlanta... Fayetteville, Jonesboro,Stockbridge? I asked Why not he said " It's to far." Wow! If I would have known that I wouldn't have canceled my appointment with Lowes. Boy oh boy... Before you buy any coupons with these guys make sure they service your're area... And if Steve calls they probably don't. On your website you state you cover Metro Atlanta... Last I checked I was in Metro Atlanta.. ON Angies List You state you cover Metro Atlanta Also with a list of my city.. and TODAY is when we received a call. Tomorrow was the appt date. Thats barely 24hrs...

I'm sorry we were not able to help you with your flooring project. We don't think there was a need for a negative review just because we don't cover your area. We called and made you aware of this 2 days prior to the appointment. We encourage you to make sure that whatever company you call out for an estimate that they do services your area.
We hired Your Floor to install new hardwood floors and carpet in the new house that we purchased. We are very pleased with the experience we've had from the time of the estimate to the completion. Ben came out and was very knowledgeable about the type of flooring and options that we had. One of the things that we liked is that we did not feel we were being sold on a product but allowed to make an informed decision. I'd highly recommend Your Floor to anyone looking for a flooring company. Everything went smooth from start to finish. We love our floors. Thank you!

Euro Wood Floors is an extremely professional, dependable, knowledgeable company. I have had my wood floors done around 5 times and this was the best experience I have ever had. They replaced damaged wood and it looks flawless, they covered my cabinets,plantation shutters so perfectly. They use quality equipment to help with dust.They clean everything up and leave your house in perfect condition. Everyone from this company went above and beyond and took such pride in their work. They do extra steps that the other companies skip that make the end result perfection. I had high gloss poly put on my floors, and there was not an ounce of dust in the finish. They exceeded my expectations and that is a tough one to accomplish. I am very particular and notice everything and anything. I am a hard one to please. I can not say enough about Ben, his Father and the wonderful crew who worked so hard and accomplished perfect results. Thank you!! I would look no further, this is the company to use!

Euro Wood Floors replaced my family room carpet with new hardwoods, then refinished them along with existing hardwoods on the rest of our main level. They did a fine job, and I would use them again if needed. The customer service is great, always promptly addressing our needs as they arose. We did have to call them back to address a few areas needing touch up after the job was done, but they gladly took care of it on the same day that I called them. Overall we were very pleased with the experience.
Euro wood floors did a great job at a great price. I would use them again. They refinished the floors using a dustless system. They also installed new floor in the areas we removed due to water damage. It now looks great.

Ben and his crew came to refinish the parquet wood floor in a house that I had for rent. The renter's and their dogs were very hard on the floor. Ben's team did a great job bringing the floor back to looking like it was almost new. When I was not satisfied with some small areas in the poly coat they happily came out and addressed each issue in a timely manner.

Floors look great! They did a great job on the floors. Just wish the poly was not dripping down the stair risers, and some on the baseboards.
Obtained name from Angies List. Called Ben and advised I wanted prefinished install. He directed me to a his supplier who was fanatastic both from a customer service and price standpoint. After selecting wood, called Ben who came out, measured and made great suggestions and ideas. Install was flawless, on time, quality, clean up and customer service. I dont think you can find anyone in ATL who will beat his price, service or quality. Definitely going to do the entire house in the spring
EWF refinished 1200 st of oak floors on a house we just purchased. Used Bona Traffic at my request. Guys did a great job. I hope these floors last a long time, but I would not hesitate to call them again, had a good experience.

We bought a new house and needed some new hardwood floors installed and the old ones refinsihed. I was very happy with the communication throughout the whole project. I needed the project to be done in stages and Ben was very helpful in scheduling the work accordingly. They also replaced a few boards that were damaged at no additional charge. I would definitely use them again. Thank you!

Seaplane flights to increase tourist access to World Heritage Area and national parks
- From: Mercury
- June 29, 2014
TOURISTS will have greater access to Tasmania's World Heritage Area and national parks after the State Government announced it had granted exclusive landing rights to a seaplane operator.
Tasmanian Air Adventures has been granted licences to land its seaplanes at some of the state's most beautiful wilderness spots, including Lake St Clair, Southwest National Park, Lake Pedder and Recherche Bay.
Environment, Parks and Heritage Minister Matthew Groom announced the new licences yesterday.
"Our objective as a government, by opening up these areas for additional tourism capability, is to make Tasmania the environmental tourism capital of the world," Mr Groom said.
"Tasmania already offers world-class tourism experiences but we believe there is further potential in our national parks and World Heritage Area."
The move to allow seaplane access to the southern end of Lake St Clair is a shot in the arm for developer Simon Currant, whose five-star Pump House Point project is due to open early next year.
Mr Currant yesterday said a seaplane service was always part of a broader plan to help with the management of tourists and goods to the region.
"It is an important part of the access for us," he said.
Mr Currant, who has worked on the Pump House Point project for more than 18 years, said seaplane access offered a unique tourism opportunity.
"Being able to offer travel from the Henry Jones Art Hotel on the Hobart waterfront and be in an incredible natural environment, within the World Heritage Area, in 50 minutes is a great thing," he said.
Tasmanian Air Adventures will offer flights into various remote destinations – including the Celery Top Islands, Forest Lagoon, Schooner Cove, Bramble Cove, Lake Pedder, Recherche Bay and Hazards Beach within Freycinet National Park.
Sales manager Will Barbour said the company had been flying into remote parts of Tasmania's World Heritage Area for the past two years under a trial basis.
"We see the announcement as a vote of confidence on behalf of the Government of our responsible operations," Mr Barbour said.

Jason - please show me one sentence I say against these flights. All I say is that we shouldn't pretend this has anything to do with 'environmental tourism', these are simply scenic flights. Nothing particularly wrong with that, but let's call it what it is. Just as in New Zealand - I've been to both Fox and Franz Joseph glaciers where they operate helicopter flights. It's not a wilderness experience, there are thousands of people crawling all over the glaciers and the constant buzz of helicopters fills the air. But it is still an interesting experience if you've never been to a glacier before and it certainly brings in the tourist dollars. Perhaps that's what we need to do in Tasmania - sacrifice some assets to the mass tourist market, but keep others unspoilt for the enjoyment of the growing market for wilderness adventures away from the noise and the visual pollution that masses of people bring. I'm sure there is room for both - everywhere needs a Gold Coast. But let's make a conscious and sensibly planned decision so that the whole state doesn't turn into a crass theme park.
Elizabeth Hastings of New Town Posted at 10:28 PM June 29, 2014
I think this sounds great. What a nice way to get to remote areas. I really think that it is also a low environment impact way. No pushing a road through, or clearing a conventional runway - just the water to land on and perhaps a jetty to offload passengers. Any noise will only be for a very short time then peace will return (probably even more appreciated for the contrast). Good luck with this.
Don Rumney of Acton Posted at 8:39 PM June 29, 2014
Yes Jason, they thought that by stopping roads being built only they and their greenie mates could access it all. They didn't think about flying in.

IE Department welcomes Dr. Amin Khademi
- August 15, 2013Dr. Khademi's primary research interest is in applied and theoretical Operations Research. In particular, his focus has been on modeling health care problems by Markov decision processes and solving them via approximate dynamic programming. For instance, he has been working on HIV epidemic control under resource constraints. Treatment is the major intervention in deriving the progression and epidemic. Finding the optimal treatment allocation strategy is extremely difficult due to multiple trade-offs that decision makers should take into account. He developed a mathematical framework to find the optimal allocation policy when resources are limited. The solution to this problem informs policy makers how to prioritize patients, according to their characteristics, in assigning treatment. In addition, the results shed light on the role behavior and health progression play in prioritizing treatment initiation and termination. Also, he has developed simulation models that help decision makers predict the outcomes of different policies in HIV care and treatment. Beyond his research interests, Dr. Khademi enjoys teaching. He has experience teaching IE 2800- Methods in Operations Research I. He looks forward to teaching Stochastic Optimization.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
After a soggy morning for the Salt Lake City marathon, the clouds lifted a little along the Wasatch Front, but more moisture was expected through Saturday night.
The National Weather Service predicts that the chance of rain will slowly decrease Saturday night, but isolated showers are still possible. The mountain snow level could get as low as 6,000 feet.
Sunday should see an improvement, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 63 predicted. After that it will be a week of clouds and cooler temperatures. Highs are expected to stay in the 50s in Salt Lake City through Wednesday, warming into the 60s on Thursday.

Tomato Know How
Tomato Know How
I am scrambling to process all the produce from my garden and today it is plum tomatoes; I grew Redorta, a really plump, meaty and heavy tomato. It is perfect for making tomato sauce. It pays to know which tomato variety to use in cooking and so many people tell me that their sauce is too watery and that they used beefsteak tomatoes which is strictly a salad tomato and too seedy and watery for making a good sauce. You can find the seeds for Redorta at growitalian.com
To make a simple Neapolitan no meat tomato sauce simply skin and seed 10-12 plum tomatoes. Set aside. In a saucepan heat 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil; add two cloves garlic in thin slices and let it wilt but not brown. Squeeze in the tomatoes with your hands; add salt and cook for about 20 minutes. Add chopped fresh basil just before serving. Fresh, fast, delicious and authentic.

Collection Title: Darlington Autograph Files
Creator: Darlington familyInclusive dates: 1610-1914
Extent: 3.17 linear feet (8 boxes, 6 oversize folders)
Abstract: The Darlington Autograph Files are a selection of documents created by various historical figures between 1610 and 1914. It consists of documents, some related to one another through specific historical events, while others were collected by the Darlington family for their rarity. The Darlington family were nineteenth and early twentieth century collectors who had an interest in the colonial period, French and Indian War, Revolutionary War, Whiskey Rebellion, and westward expansion particularly in relation to western Pennsylvania. The documents include correspondence, receipts, wills, warrants, depositions, indentures, land surveys, and speeches, among other forms of documentation. Many of the items are from such notable individuals as Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon Bonaparte, William Penn, Robert Fulton, Robert R. Livingston, King George III, and Patrick Henry. Prominent citizens of the Pittsburgh area are also represented in the collection, with letters and other documents from Mary Croghan Schenley, James O'Hara, William Wilkins, and Richard Butler. The collection is arranged in alphabetical order. Digital reproductions of the collection are available electronically by following the respective "Digitized Folder Contents" links within the finding aid.standard view | full text File Size: 362 K bytes | Add this to my bookbag

2. Average Response time
3. Handling peak load
4. Network bandwidth requirements
5. Capability to handle more number of users
6. References
There are some parameters which can provide quantitative data about the performance of your application. These parameters work in sync with each other. For example you can't have same avg. response time by increasing or decreasing the maximum number of concurrent users. Every new project should include these parameters in non-functional requirements. If you are outsourcing your work, make sure to provide values for these parameters and ask the supplier to meet them. I have seen companies which ask the supplier to demonstrate how will they be able to meet these requirements.
The following are the parameters to be discussed when trying to standardize and measure the performance of a web application.
1) Number of concurrent users
Concurrent users is the number of users with active session at a given point of time. If your application allows duplicate user sessions then count them twice for measuring. This parameter is usually derived from business requirements. For example in a portal, one can come up with an expected number of 2000 concurrent users. This means that the application designer and developer should take appropriate steps to make sure that 2000 sessions can be active at any time. Given these many concurrent sessions, the requirement for other parameters like requests per minute should also be met. If in above example, 5000 concurrent users are trying to log in, then the designer and developer shouldn't be responsible for poor performance on other parameters.
- Set Java heap size of the server to handle session data of maximum allowed concurrent users to avoid persistence.
- Configure database connection pool size accordingly.
- Provide appropriate value for max number of server connections in config files like server.xml in case of tomcat.
- Application should have the provision to disable access to itself once the maximum number of concurrent sessions are active. This can be achieved by writing filters and session listener in case of Java web applications.
- Use testing tools like JMeter and LoadRunner.
- Write scripts to simulate the real world scenario of disallowing access once the maximum number of user sessions are active.
- Increase session timeout to perform manual testing.
2) Average Response time
The response time for user requests is in the hand of designer and developer. With high end hardware and web servers, applications can be designed to achieve very low response times. There are a number of things which play a significant role in deciding the response time. These include network connections, caching, clustering etc. One important point to note here is that response time usually decreases with increase in number of users using the application (requests per minute). The following chart shows how response time varies with requests per minute.
- 80% of applications can meet avg. response time criteria if designing and coding doesn't involve silly mistakes. Many a times, developers will write bad SQL queries to add unnecessary looping, conditions, file handling and network activity which adds up and makes application perform poor.
- As a developer, one should also take into account client side rendering of UI. This is more important due to the time spent in JavaScript code execution in Rich Internet Applications.
- The avg. response testing has to be done for a large number of requests with low, medium and peak load.
- There are a number of automated testing tools to provide the value of avg. response time like Apache JMeter and AppPrefect.
- One can even perform black box testing by measuring response time for parts of a request. This could involve measuring database response time, time spent on initializing objects (think lazy/early loading) and running a test on the local cache (if used).
3) Handling peak load
There are special times when the load on your application exceeds all estimates. For example : Last date to enroll online for post graduate exam, the day results are published online etc. During this time, your application can easily deny users due to multiple reasons. A very common example is exceeding allowed bandwidth of the server for the month.
A very good solution to handle such scenario is to visualize the same in advance and host your application and data on multiple servers aka mirrors. You can either provide the user an option to choose the server from where he wants to get data or write logic to detect the location of user and forward him to nearest mirror.
4) Network bandwidth requirements
The bandwidth requirements for an application depend upon how rich and heavy components are added to the UI. If you have a lot of audio, video and image data to be loaded on the client machine then you need to handle the same differently. The options available for resource heavy UI include:
- Browser caching:
With browser caching, the same resources are not downloaded for every request.
- Content Delivery Networks :
With CDN, you host the content on geographically spread servers and make the user download content from nearest server to him.
- On Demand Loading :
You make the user download content only when he really needs it. A good example is loading of images/video as user scrolls down in web browser.
Usually for enterprise level applications hosted on the internet, companies roll out hi-fi and simple versions of their applications. The version being shown to user depends upon his network bandwidth (think of Gmail).
5) Capability to handle more number of users
Given the expected values for the rest of parameters, it is interesting to note how well your enterprise application can scale. A good design is the one which takes into consideration the need to meet the popularity of an application. This involves how the application has been designed.
For example, the designer may decouple the front end and business logic by creating multiple layers and make the application capable of say moving to mainframe with minimal effort.
It is worth to note here that capability to scale in terms of users doesn't mean that your application is already ready to scale up. It means how difficult will it be to scale up. No magic can be done to make the app. handle unlimited number of users. Its about how well you and your app. is prepared to handle increase in number of users and hence a increase in the above 4 parameters.
1. Fundamentals of Web Application Performance Testing
2. Improve the performance of your web applications
3. How your Web App is performing

Three more Japanese make US Open field
BY Bruce Young | US PGA Tour | 2006 US Open | General | 29 May 2006
Three Japanese Golf Tour players received a bonus by qualifying to play at next month's US Open at Winged Foot.
Three of the Tour's leading players made it through the 36 hole sectional qualifying held today in Japan at the venue for last week's Mitsubishi Diamond Cup tournament. Toru Taniguchi, Tadahiro Takayama and Keiichiro Fukabori have qualified while New Zealander David Smail and Hiroyuki Fujita are alternates.
Taniguchi and Fukabori both recorded top tens at last week's Mitsubishi event but Takayama bounced back after withdrawing from the first round to be on his way to New York in two weeks time.
Thirteen more venues across the USA and England will hold final qualifying next Monday and Tuesday with the one in England for European Tour players. Last year the US Open Champion, Michael Campbell qualified at Walton Heath before heading across the Atlantic and winning at Pinehurst.

Frenchtown Township has a new fire engine that was made possible with a $285,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Assistance to Firefighter Grant program.
The Rosenbauer truck with a Spartan chassis cost $403,991. As a stipulation of the grant, the fire department sold one of its older trucks — Engine No. 4, a 1985 FMC-Kenworth — for $4,125. The engine was not up to current standards and did not pass its last pump test, said Ronald Hoskins, a firefighter/emergency medical technician and grant writer for the department.
The 33-foot-long new engine has:
• All emergency lighting is LED (light emitting diode), including the flood lights.
• Wireless headsets for the occupants to help protect the hearing of the firefighters.
• A backup camera so that drivers can see what is behind them.
• A Compressed Air Foam system that will dramatically reduce water damage at structure fires.
• A 450 HP Cummins Turbo Diesel engine.
• A water pump that can pump 1,500 gallons a minute with pump-and-roll capabilities, which means the engine can pump water while the truck is moving. The vehicle carries about 750 gallons.
• Two hydraulic reels for extrication equipment.
The department hopes to put the vehicle in service by the middle of February. The engine still has to be stocked and firefighters still have to be trained on it, Mr. Hoskins said. There are 18 full-time firefighters and 14 paid-on-call firefighters plus the fire chief, fire inspector and a secretary.
The new engine will be stationed at Station 1 on N. Monroe St. The current No. 1 engine will become Engine 2 and will be moved to Station 2 on Nadeau Rd. The current No. 2 engine will become Engine 4 and will be at Station 4 on Pointe aux Peaux Rd., he said.

|Bushman woman, Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana, 2004.
© Survival International
Nharo Bushmen in south-west Botswana will be forcefully evicted from their land tomorrow, according to national newspaper The Voice.
The Bushmen have vowed to resist eviction from their homes in Xanagas, Kgalagadi District.
One local resident, Xase Tuxwa, was born in Xanagas in 1937. He told reporters, 'We were born and raised in Xanagas, but farmers come and erect fences around our homesteads, and then we are ordered to move out.'
Fears were sparked after Permanent Secretary to the President, Eric Molale bought land on a neighboring farm; the eviction notice followed shortly after.
Molale is listed as director of Debswana diamond company, a joint venture between the Botswana government and De Beers, and the largest diamond producer in the world.
In 2002, Kalahari Bushmen were violently forced off their land in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. At the same time, Molale was serving as permanent secretary to the Ministry of Local Government.
Pelaelo Lucas, a resident at Xanagas, said, 'Ever since the arrival of this Molale gentleman… on the Xanagas farming scene, our lives have been hell.
'Our children are forced to board at the primary school on the land, and we are expected to leave them in the care of government officials at the farm when we get evicted.'
Molale has refused comment.
Act now to help the Bushmen
Your support is vital if the Bushmen are to survive. There are many ways you can help.
- Writing a letter to the Botswana government is a quick and simple way to let them know of your concern.
- Join Survival's tourism boycott to Botswana to place pressure on the government to respect the Bushmen's rights.
- Donate to the Bushman campaign (and other Survival campaigns).
- Write to your MP or MEP (UK) or Senators and members of Congress (US).
- Write to your local Botswana high commission or embassy.
- If you want to get more involved, contact Survival…

Wild, Jason Pominville come to terms on a five-year contract extension
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
The Wild traded for Jason Pominville last April and this offseason, the forward was seeking an extension to stay with the club long-term.
The two sides came to terms on a five-year deal, Wild General Manager Chuck Fletcher announced Thursday.
The contract kicks in next season, and is for $28 million, according to Michael Russo of the Star Tribune.
Five-year, $28 million extension for Jason Pominville with #mnwild...($5.6 AAV)— Michael Russo (@Russostrib) October 3, 2013
With big contract to players like Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, the the salary cap situation isn't easy for the Wild to navigate. But on the day the team opens the 2013-14 campaign with a home game against the Kings, the Wild struck a deal for a contract extension.
The deal will take Pominville, 30, through the 2018-19 season, since he still has one year left on his current contract. By that time, the Wild will also have to take a hard look at the cap situation as it pertains to younger players like Charlie Coyle, Jonas Brodin and Mikael Granlund.
But for now, the Wild can begin the season, free from the distraction of a lingering Pominville extension, and set out to prove wrong the critics who feel they are not contenders for the Stanley Cup.

Officials have lifted the recreational restrictions that have been in place on the South Platte River and its North Fork since mid-June, according to a news release.
The Jeffco Sheriff's Office and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office closed the streams to recreational uses after rains and snowmelt created dangerously high water levels.
The streams, which were closed to tubing, rafting, kayaking, fishing and swimming, were reopened as of Monday morning, according to the release from the Jeffco Sheriff's Office.
The petition to recall Jeffco's three conservative school board members levels several major accusations at the trio — and their supporters don't agree with the language.
Opponents of the recall effort, which is aimed at school board members John Newkirk, Ken Witt and Julie Williams, have called the petition language inaccurate.
Supporters of the recall disagree and say the petition language is both accurate and shows justification for their efforts.

The political news is surprising as two unlikely candidates are soaring in the polls. Not many would expect a self-identified socialist to challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination for president, but U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is gaining some traction. He trails her in a recent Iowa poll 52 percent to 33 percent. In New Hampshire, it's 56 percent to 24 percent. No, he is not the front-runner, but his strong numbers are very surprising, and Clinton must be looking over her shoulder.
A South Jeffco man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder on July 13 after his girlfriend was found covered in blood and wandering around an apartment complex at night.

Chicken with Tomatoes and Prunes
- 1 (3-lb) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 lb plum tomatoes (about 3), seeded and chopped
- 1 (3- to 4-inch) cinnamon stick
- 5 1/2 oz pitted prunes (16 to 18)
- 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet or a wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown chicken in 2 batches, turning with tongs, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken as browned to a plate.
Return chicken, skin sides up, to skillet along with any juices accumulated on plate. Add wine and boil until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add water, tomatoes, cinnamon stick, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, and a large pinch of pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to moderately low and cover skillet, then simmer 20 minutes.
Stir in prunes, vinegar, and sugar and simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken with tongs to a shallow serving dish and keep warm, covered with foil. Boil pan juices, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 8 to 10 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick and spoon sauce over chicken.
Cooks' nte: Chicken can be made 1 day ahead and cooled, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Reheat before serving.

Reason I do the trade now instead of waiting for the summer

Mainly, my opinion is you pull the trigger whenever this is available for you.
A lot can happen between now and the offseason. Nobody is really in a position to need Gordon right now. So both his demand and value are at all-time lows.
Deals like this don't come around often, but they do come around, and when you have a chance at one you gotta take it.
I also think this team needs a full training camp together. And it would be nice to get a decent 2nd half to build momentum for that, instead of having training camp again be a place where new starters are getting together for the first time.
I believe it has legs. But I think it comes down to luxury tax. Gordon isn't gonna make enough of a difference where we put that up.
I think we use this all as a win/win way for us to get him and get under the tax all in one deal. And sure, I hope that happens. It also seems like a good deal for the, hehe... Pelicans. Klay is exactly the type of player they need. And Gordon isn't working out there.
Forgive me if I don't hold my breath though. We've had approximately 5 good months of basketball around here in the past two decades.

This doctor is there when you need him. He listens to you and will not hesitate to give it a shot. I owe this specific doctor, because my life as of now would be totally different; that is for the worst instead of the best like it is right now. I would be unemployed, probably wilting away right now. He was just in time.

I bought the red ball gown from sexyher and i was worried it wasnt going to be of good quality..but when it arrived it was beautiful! and it fit well too. the only down side was it was rolled up into a very small plastic bag and i had to painstakingly steam the creases out of it! would have been better if it had been on a hanger and folded carefully in a box. … Read Full Review

I recently ordered 4x bridesmaid dresses from the sexyher.co.uk website. They did take awhile to arrive (but I knew they would when I ordered). The dresses arrived yesterday and I was even more pleased with them than I thought I would be, quality fabric and they are all elegant and very beautiful. I ordered the standard sizes and was worried that I would need to alter them (two of my maids are 13) so with standard adult sizes I thought they would be far too long but they work perfectly.

It took a lot of coaxing to get me to visit San Diego. Having spent so much time in L.A. and San Francisco for work and increasingly for fun, I had honestly relegated San Diego near the bottom of my list of places to visit in the Golden State. My girlfriend of nearly two years, who grew up in La Jolla, was determined to change my thinking (a talent girlfriends wield skillfully) on the subject of San Diego. Her weapon of choice? The historic La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla. Knowing my appreciation for provenance, this was a shrewd and ultimately successful move.
Checking In | La Jolla's La Valencia Hotel
Compelling Characters | Four Barrel's Jeremy Tooker
One thing you notice when you go to Four Barrel on Valencia Street in San Francisco is a decided lack of people camped out working on their laptops. This is intentional, there's not power outlets or wi-fi provided because the focus is on coffee — as it should be. Granted, some people want to post up in a coffee shop soaking up all of the oxygen, but that's why God invented Starbucks.
The guys at Tellason worked with the very talented folks at SF based Vertical Online to profile the compelling characters that wear Tellason jeans, including this video and the previous release that focused on motorcycle builder Todd Blugaugh. These short films are beautiful pieces strictly from a visual standpoint, but it's nice to know that these connections are real and the guys actually wear the jeans. Much respect to Four Barrel, Vertical Online and Tellason for keeping it real.
Related: ACL's 2009 interview of Tellason's Tony Patella.
JFK's New England Fish Chowder.
Going through the John F. Kennedy archives I came across this recipe for New England Fish Chowder. Apparently, chowder was the favorite dish of JFK —pictured here sailing on the Presidential yacht Manitou near Hyannis Port, Mass. which was one of his favorite activities.
Could this be the beginning of an archival food section for ACL? Unlikely. But nevertheless it's an amusing little piece of history. Someone please follow this recipe and report back.
