Mussels in Red Curry Sauce
I have many fond memories about eating mussels—big pots or buckets of mussels, over a glass of wine, or better still, Belgian beer. Such memories take me back to my fun travels to London, south of France, Sydney, Monaco, and the times I lived in San Francisco (Plouf, a small French bistro at Belden Place was my favorite place for mussels) when I savored this shellfish goodness.
As much as I love mussels, I seldom make it at home. I usually get my mussels from Costco but the 5-lb bag of mussels is basically too much for the two of us to consume. So when my sister and her family came to visit recently, I took the opportunity and had a mussel feast. It was great because fresh mussels are not available in Malaysia.
There are many ways to make mussels pot, my ultimate favorite is Moules à la Marinière, the popular French/Belgian version cooked with white wine and parsley. I also like the idea of an Asian-style mussel pot so I made mussels in red curry sauce and it was an instant hit with my family.
This is my simple mussels in red curry sauce recipe. Do remember to have some crusty bread to sop up the sweet, briny, and spicy red curry sauce. Enjoy!

I'm not usually a big fan of mussels, but the red curry sauce is a huge plus for me! I'd definitely try this :)
Hi Daily Chef – you should try mussels with red curry, it's great.
Love mussels. Can't see much of the sauce but some crusty bread to go with sure sounds good
Mussels, wow, lots of mussels. I like mussels too, especially in pasta. Would love to try mussels in red curry sauce.
We often have mussels for lunch and I am always looking for different ways to serve them. I will certainly give this recipe a try. Maybe this weekend as we have a friend coming to stay.
I never used red curry sauce before. Worth a try!
Oh my, this sounds good. I drool over mussels. I don't get to eat them often, but I think I might just find some and make this. Yum.
I adore mussels and this recipe sounds lovely! Beautiful as always Bee!
I'm definitely more into clams than mussels. The best (or two best) mussels I have had is in (1) Belgium and (2) New Zealand. No more cravings ever for mussels in California….don't know why.
for some reason, whenever i have made anything in red-curry it turned out really bad. it was too sour!
But i had red-curry crab at Somboon Restaurant in Thailand and it was HEAVENLY!
i hope you can share such a recipe someday!
I've had something similar in a local Thai restaurant here (mussels in a Thai curry sauce…I do think it was the red one)…so yummy! Would love to recreate this at home!
Can you send me that bowl of mussels right away!?! The thought of these makes me all warm and fuzzy inside ;). I love shellfish with Asian flavors and I have no doubt that these are fabulous with the red curry paste.
Can you put your watermark on the bottom right or something. It really takes away from your work to put it right across the pic.
Oh my god this red curry sauce looks amazing! Thanks for the recipe!
Always on the lookout for a good mussels recipe. Loving this! Thanks for sharing.
My mouth is watering. This is such a beautiful dish-glad I found it.

i will try it at my home :)
I made the Red Curry Mussels today for a late lunch on a blustery and rainy spring day. I loved it, although I think it was perhaps one tablespoon too much of the curry paste for my tastes. Very spicy, but almost addictively so! I followed your recipe, which was quick and easy. Even my husband who doesn't really care for mussels ate them because of the sauce. Thanks for a new recipe to add to my repertoire.
I'm really looking for a good recipe for mussels and I think this one would be great :).Thanks for the share…I think its pretty delicious.
Well,I made the Red Curry Mussels today for a late lunch on a blustery and rainy spring day. I loved it, although I think it was perhaps one tablespoon too much of the curry paste for my tastes.its Very spicy,thnx for posting.
I absolutely Mussels and have just explored cooking with curry a few months ago. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I like that it also has pictures. Keep posting some more!
Hi Bee, Facebook mentioned it as Beer Steamed Mussels, the pictures sure looked like beer instead of red curry to me. Is there a mistake somewhere or do I need to have my eyes checked? ;) I sure would like to try the Beer Steamed Mussels.
Now there are green chili bits instead of flat leaf parsley! :))
Yum, gonna try your version soon. I use Mae Ploy curry paste too, so good. Gonna try beer steamed too!

I would like to thank Hewlett-Packard and their LaserJet line of printers, particularly the M1217nfw, for reminding me why I have gone all but entirely paperless, leaving what little paper I utilize left as not being generated by myself.
I am not stupid but troubleshooting anything on this pile of plastic crap makes me feel that way. Trying to get their printer to work with Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks has been a pointless exercise in petty frustration. This used to be easy: download a zip file, unzip, install, plug in the printer, and boom! Printing. Instead, they wholly rely on Apple to distribute drivers—there is no direct link to an archive to be found anywhere; the printer's internal webpage does a spectacular job confounding even the most advanced of browsers; none of the instructions on their support page actually matches reality. It's almost as if the people writing the software, those writing the documentation, and those building the support pages don't actually talk to each other. Nothing has ever worked as advertised with this printer. The only computer I can get to talk to this printer is a six year old MacBook, and that's when it is plugged in via USB. I am better off having all my documents on my phone or tablet at this point. What a waste of money. Forget going paperless to be green; I'll just go paperless out of spite.
UPDATE: After looking into this further, part of my problem appears to be that in trying to acquire the software for my work laptop I see that my company's IT department redirects (nay, hijacks) the Software Update URL to an internal server. But this redirect is known to be buggy in Mavericks so the URL fails (in fact the address cannot be resolved at all so something else is going on. A support ticket has been submitted). I'm still trying to sort out how to get around this and just go direct to Apple, though it would appear that despite my resetting the URL in defaults, I will need to go to my IT department for a fix. But I don't blame my IT department. My angst is still pointed to HP for not giving links to their drivers and instead simply telling people to go to Apple. Not giving people a back up plan is lame.
All I want to do is print two (2!) lousy pieces of paper, and here is one hell of a mess trying to do just that.

Believe it or not, back-to-school time can be dangerous for your pets! Every September our amazing team at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) sees an increase in calls related to pets getting into backpacks.
Why should you keep your pets away from your kids' backpacks?
Well, backpacks often contain items that can spell big trouble for the health of your furry family members, such as gum (which may contain xylitol), medications and inhalers.
Also, since no pet can resist the alluring smell of a freshly packed lunch, lunch boxes can pose big problems. School lunch staples like grapes, raisins and chocolate can make pets sick—see which other people-foods you should avoid feeding to your pets.
So as your kids head back to school, please be sure to stash backpacks and lunch boxes out of your pets' reach. And since we can't watch our pets ALL the time, remember that the APCC is available 24/7/365 at (888) 426-4435. Keep that number handy by requesting a free ASPCA Pet Safety Pack, which contains a refrigerator magnet with the APCC's contact info!

Renovating a home is rarely an easy task—even when our faithful pets are trying to help! One pet parent, Consie, learned that the hard way when her seven-month-old pup, Martha, decided to lend a paw during a recent renovation project.
Martha got into a jar of putty Consie was using to fill holes in a wall, happily licking at it as if it were peanut butter. Consie immediately took the putty away from Martha and called the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC). "It makes sense to contact the experts in animal poisoning, and I didn't have much time," says Consie. "Martha could have seriously hurt herself and I needed to know the best course of action immediately."
Luckily, the putty Martha consumed was non-toxic, but that didn't mean this well-meaning dog was out of the woods. The amount of putty she consumed could still cause severe constipation, or even bowel obstruction. Amanda, an APCC veterinary assistant, and Dr. Michael Knight, one of the APCC's veterinary toxicologists, carefully walked Consie through how to induce vomiting in the pup.
A few minutes (and a small mess) later, the putty was out of Martha's system and the potential danger was mitigated. "Amanda and Dr. Knight gave me excellent advice and stayed on the phone with me the whole time. I'm really grateful to them and the APCC team," says Consie.
The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center has been helping pet parents like Consie for 35 years, providing invaluable expertise and life-saving information 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year. This year, the APCC will take on an estimated 273,000 calls—that's 500-plus cases per day!
If you think your pet may have ingested a potentially poisonous substance, call (888) 426-4435. You can also connect with the APCC on Facebook and Twitter.
If you've ever called the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC), you know it's a critical resource for pet parents whose animals may have gotten into something toxic. But when it took its first call 35 years ago today, APCC was a tiny University of Illinois service based in a chicken coop.
APCC has come a long way since then. The first poison control center focused solely on animals, the center (called the Toxicology Information service until 1990, when it became the National Animal Poison Control Center) quickly established itself as a pioneer, creating the first toll-free pet poison hotline and developing a life-saving database that helps identify pet poisons. That database is the reason we now know Easter lilies, grapes and raisins, and Xylitol can harm our pets.
The center officially became the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center in 2000, and in 2006, it handled its one-millionth case. This year, APCC will take on 273,000 calls—that's 500-plus cases per day.
With the resources and expertise to handle every type of poison crisis, APCC remains the leader in providing life-saving information to pet parents in need.
If you think your pet may have ingested a potentially poisonous substance, call (888) 426-4435. You can also connect with APCC on Facebook and Twitter.
Be sure to Tweet APCC a happy birthday wish using #APCC35!
What's in your Easter basket? Whether you're celebrating Easter, Passover or the arrival of daffodils, it's time to show our pets some extra love by keeping them safe from seasonal hazards. Here are a few ASPCA tips for a pet-safe spring!
• Beware of Easter lilies—they can be fatal if consumed by our furry friends. We recommend leaving lilies out of Easter baskets destined for homes with cats, or using safer flower varieties as substitutes. Some pretty alternatives include Easter orchids, cacti and daisies, as well as roses and violets.
• Keep candy bunnies in check—chocolate goodies are toxic to cats, dogs and ferrets. And any treats containing xylitol, an artificial sweetener used in many candies, chewing gum and baked goods—may be toxic, too!
• Decorations, especially Easter tinsel, may look festive but can be dangerous. Kitties love to nibble on plastic grass, which can lead to serious health issues.
• Baby chicks and rabbits are not Easter gifts. While these festive babies are adorable, resist the urge to buy; they grow up fast and often require specialized care. Thousands of ex-Easter bunnies and chicks are abandoned each year when their novelty wears off.
For more springtime pet safety tips, please visit our Pet Care section, and have a happy holiday weekend!
Do you know which pet poisonsare lurking in your home? Each year, thousands of pets accidentally ingest dangerous but common household items. Onions, grapes, gardening mulch…the culprits are surprising! In honor of National Poison Awareness Month, we're holding a live Twitter chat with Dr. Tina Wismer, Medical Director of the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. She'll be on hand March 27 at 2:00 P.M (EST) to answer all your questions about protecting pets from harmful substances.
We'll also test your pet poison knowledge with a few trivia questions. Three guests will receive ASPCA swag bags—and one grand-prize winner will receive an Emergency Ready Deluxe Pet First Aid Kit! All participating guests will receive a FREE pet coupon code for 15% off all ASPCA First Aid and responder kits.
Join us, along with co-hosts PetMD and the ASPCA PetHealth Insurance for a life-saving chat. Not quite sure how to join a Twitter chat? No worries! Check out our How to Join a Twitter Party Guide.

Latest update : 2010-11-15
The web hails the release of Aung San Suu Kyi
The web hails the release of Burma's pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The conviction of a web user over a joke made on Twitter sparks lively reactions. And a video summing up a man's Facebook life in just a few minutes.
She is an iconic figure in the fight for democracy in Burma, and on Saturday opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi was released from her latest 7 year term of house arrest by the military junta. Her release has been hailed by web users.
The Lady of Rangoon's name has been one of the top trending topics on micro blogging site Twitter these past few days. Thousands of Twitter users the world over have been sharing their joy at seeing the Nobel Peace Prize winner released after having spent 15 of the past 21 years either under house arrest or in prison.
The new generation of Burmese activists has been celebrating the event with this song in particular, which has been circulated on social networks. This hip hop track describes Aung Sang Suu Kyi as a maternal figure and a source of inspiration for young activists today.
The site Irawaddy is asking web users what they think the political future holds for this symbol of opposition to Burma's military junta who has been cut off from the world in recent years. The portal is run by dissident refugees in Thailand and is asking readers to submit their ideas and suggestions to the Lady of Rangoon.
And this opposition web site based in the United Kingdom, is reminding readers that although she has been freed there are still over 2 000 political prisoners behind bars in Burma. Web users are invited to sign this petition calling upon Ban Ki-moon, the Secretary-General of the United Nations to intervene on their behalf.
Paul Chambers has failed to overturn his conviction! In January, the 27 year old made a joke on Twitter saying that if his flight to Ireland was cancelled because of snow, he would blow up Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield. Judge Jacqueline Davies believes Chambers should have known that his message could be taken seriously and so, the initial fine of 1000 pounds has been confirmed.
His conviction has not gone unnoticed online and has sparked a strong wave of protest, on Twitter in particular. To demonstrate their solidarity with Chambers, users have been sending in messages of support using the phrase "I am Spartacus". A reference to the film in which all the slaves stand up one by one behind their fellow gladiator Spartacus in rebellion against the authorities.
And in a show of criticism of the authorities' lack of humour, web users are replacing their profile picture with a tongue in cheek banner stating that their online commentaries might not be serious.
This video blogger has written and dedicated a poem to Chambers. It is called "Twitter Joke Trial" and says that even if his fellow citizen made a joke in poor taste, he was only exercising his freedom of expression and should not be convicted for it.
Meanwhile, despite the court's decision, Chambers will not have to pay his fine, because actor and director Stephen Fry has offered to pay it for him.
Contrary to traditional media like the television that depends on audience ratings, the founders of the site NoWatch.tv are basing their project on the social networks model, where viewer groups are smaller and more specialized and also very loyal and active. NoWatch.tv presents itself as a platform for unformatted web programs so they maintain all their character and individuality.
Change the faces and surnames of US stars using cheese: this is what the offbeat blog "Cheese people" has on offer. We see Justin Bieber become Justin Brieber, Al Capone Al Marscapone and Cuba Gooding Junior Cuba Gouda Junior.
A man's Facebook life summed up in a few minutes: this is what French artist Maxime Luère is proposing in this video. The video clip takes web users through Alex Droner's Facebook life. We see this imaginary man's time on the social network, from his inscription to his death; that is the moment when he logs off. His loves, his friends, his encounters, his holidays and also his evenings out …nothing is left out, every single detail of his life is featured.

THE KOVALCHUK/ISLANDERS LIVE BLOGIslanders are out; this blog ends Tuesday AM
CB at FanHouse on Islanders/Kovalchuk
10:30 pm: Katie Strang of Newsday reports that the Islanders are out of the Ilya Kovachuk sweepstakes (subscription required). She writes: "It is believed that while the Islanders' interest was legitimate, they never entered a serious stage of discussion with Kovalchuk's camp nor made an offer."
Garth Snow told Newsday, "We have interest in the top free agents now and we will in the future."
For the Islanders, it's on to a possible agreement with Matt Moulson before he goes to arbitration (he filed today). Prospect camp starts for the Islanders on Wednesday.
This Live Blog will self-destruct at some point on Tuesday morning.
11:30 am, Monday: After more than 60 hours of rumor, innuendo, some hilarious commentary in the U.S. and Canada and some strategical stretching of the truth, there is very little left to report or to say.
Some time, as early as this afternoon, but possibly not for another week or so, Ilya Kovalchuk is going to sign a contract with a hockey team. It will be with a team in the NHL, not the KHL, as I've written consistently here and at FanHouse.
Oh, there could be a report – leaked, of course – about an Islanders meeting with Kovalchuk. Rumors of other teams, not the Kings (still in it), Islanders and Devils will emerge. All of it may be fun July reading. Little of it will matter until the final decision.
If this sounds like I'm personally getting out of the Ilya Kovalchuk sweepstakes, you would be correct. There simply is not much to cover anymore. Agent Jay Grossman, whom I know fairly well, is a private man and professional. You have not seen him quoted once since July 1. Garth Snow, whom I used to work with, does a good job of keeping his team's business quiet – the Hamhuis/Martin/Friday Night Lights show notwithstanding. When Garth has something big to say, he'll almost certainly tell it (with good reason) to the one media outlet that covers his team 365 days a year.
This site has covered all it could. Around everything else I need to turn my attention to personally and professionally, I hope to have a few stories from the Islanders' prospect camp – open Wednesday and closed to the general public except for a scrimmage on Saturday night at the Coliseum. (Tickets are $10. Go to the team site for details).
When Kovalchuk finally chooses the Islanders or another team, I expect to hear it from a Point Blank reader first. So…
One more time with feeling…
- There has never been an offer of $100 million for ten years. There doesn't have to be for the Islanders to sign Kovalchuk.
- The Islanders' interest is tied in large part to the plight of the Lighthouse Project. Kate Murray's cut-rate vision for the project will be unveiled any day now. There's an excellent chance the Town of Hempstead and Kovalchuk stories – for better and worse – could collide on the same day.
- The Islanders' interest in Kovalchuk is serious, professional and on-going. There has been contact with agent Jay Grossman beyond Garth Snow's claim of just one preliminary call at 9:00 pm on Friday.
- If the Islanders really want Kovalchuk, they can sign him.
Thanks for hanging with me these last few days. The next post in this live blog with be Kovalchuk's destination.
7:10 pm: The LA Times reports that the Kings are out, no longer willing to satisfy Ilya Kovalchuk's demands. But, of course, they are not 100% out.
Imagine you're LA general manager Dean Lombardi. You're negotiating privately, and then all of a sudden reports come seemingly out of nowhere late Friday night about the Islanders. About ten years and $100 million. If half the hockey world is skeptical, how do you think Lombardi felt.
The Kings, like everyone else, is positioning. Lombardi is saying two can play that game. You know that if Jay Grossman calls him back, the GM is going to take the call. Lombardi is a smooth operator. For the time being, he has decided he didn't want to be operated on.
Nevertheless, this is good news for the Islanders, Devils and any other teams interested in adding the supreme goal scorer to their roster. Lombardi claims the Kings are out. Garth Snow is only on record as saying the Islanders are in.
2:45 pm, Sunday: On this beautiful Fourth of July, there is only one thing to know about the Islanders and Ilya Kovachuk. If Charles Wang really wants the all-star right wing, he can get him.
Kovalchuk has yet to be blown away by any offers. If he was, most notably from Los Angeles and New Jersey, he would have signed by now. Wang and the Islanders have the cap floor space. This is the money they are going to have to spend anyway. Are they going to spread it around instead to more third-liners and fifth defensemen? If the Islanders truly have the desire to make Kovalchuk a Lighthouse Project impact statement and a Roman Candle to the slow and steady rebuild, they can.
There is no offer of $100 million for ten years. There doesn't have to be. What Wang and Garth Snow must produce – again, if they want Kovalchuk in the orange and blue for his prime years – is an offer Kovalchuk and Jay Grossman cannot refuse. Make them an offer so strong, the agent wouldn't waste his time shopping it to Lou Lamoriello and Dean Lombardi. Make them an offer max-capppers like Paul Holmgren and Glen Sather could not even try to match.
It doesn't have to be for $10 million a year.
For now, enjoy your Fourth of July. Maybe the Fifth, too. There will probably be just two more entries in this running live blog: a final thought tomorrow, and then – whenever it may be – the news of Kovalchuk's destination (if I'm around a computer when Katie or Dregs or Pierre or Larry or someone else breaks it).
Time will tell why Wang authorized Snow to confirm to the media on Friday night that he made the phone calls to Grossman. For what it's worth, I don't know if the Islanders will land the big fish – four out of five top-level reporters surveyed say Ilya will go to LA – but I'm confident that Wang's interest in Kovalchuk is pure and legitimate.
All anyone needs to know is, if he wants to be All Ilyalanders, Charles Wang can make it happen.
12:15 am, Saturday: Oh yeah, this is already in the nutso stage. The Kovalchuk-Islanders blockbuster reports first crashed Twitter at 10:15 tonight. In a story just posted at Newsday, the very reliable Katie Strang has Garth Snow on the record saying he only made a "preliminary" call around 9:00 tonight. Amazing how one preliminary call led to reports of the Islanders considering offers of $100 million less than an hour and a half later.
My information, as written at FanHouse, is that Snow's first inquiry about Kovalchuk came earlier than tonight. Oh no, I may get hit with another "totally ficticious" label.
12:35 am: Interesting that, just as Kovalchuk-to-the-Islanders hysteria sweeps the land, Garth Snow dials it down in his interview with Newsday, saying his contact was merely doing "due diligence." This is not what others have been told.
1:15 am: It's not like the Islanders are playing around to drive up the price for a rival like the Rangers. The biggest bidder is likely Los Angeles. Knowing the respect Garth Snow has for Lou Lamoriello, he also wouldn't be looking to totally screw over the Devils. Again, I cannot see the Islanders taking their fans down this path and falling way short.
1:40: Probably the last note for the night, since I'm fairly certain the Islanders' executive offices at the Coliseum emptied out long ago. Not to be Captain Obvious, but it should be understood that anything that has happened and will happen regarding the Islanders and Ilya Kovalchuk, is all from Charles Wang. The owner negotiated Alexei Yashin's contract, he proposed the idea for the landmark deal for Rick DiPietro. Today, he is as involved as he ever has been. Fact: he worked the draft table last weekend as much as any of the scouts.
No, Garth Snow did not wake up on Friday morning and think, "Here's an idea: let's see what it would take to sign Kovalchuk"! No matter how this Ilya adventure plays out, know for better or for worse that this is the work of Charles Wang.
****(On a personal note, my family finally moves into a new home on Saturday. I'll get on this story as much as I can, so I'm sure you'll regularly check your other main sources. Hey, when I got married, it turned out to be between rounds 1 and 2 of the '93 playoffs. We thought the date was safe when we booked it).
9:15 am: Did that all really happen last night? Helene Elliott writing the Islanders are close to a deal with Ilya Kovalchuk…Darren Dreger saying the Islanders are willing to bid huge…Garth Snow confirming to Pierre LeBrun that his team is in play…Twitter exploding at 10:15, yet Garth telling Newsday he only made an initial, "preliminary" call at 9:00…The email I received and subsequent conversations with insiders telling me the Islanders began reaching out to agent Jay Grossman way before 9:00 Friday night.
Yes, I guess it did. Sobering up (I mean me), the estimable Dreger still thinks Kovalchuk is going to LA.
As I'm sure most of you know, there comes a point when reporters start asking colleagues questions of insiders on background. I woke up this morning to several texts, emails and Twitter DMs from writers, talk show hosts and studio analysts are asking a varation on this:
Are the Islanders really in on Kovalchuk, or is this just an agent creating a marketplace?
My answer: Garth Snow is on record saying they are. If it turns out to just be transparent PR shenanigans to help an agent, give another team psuedo competition or a lame attempt to make themselves look good, the Islanders would be crucified.
No, I really find it hard to believe that's the game the Islanders are playing. I thought the leaking of supposedly strong offers for Martin and Hamhuis was beyond lame – and getting agents to back them up – was sadly obvious and regrettable. But that's old news. The Islanders are in play for a six-time 40-goal scorer now, not a pair of unfalsh defensemen. No way they do this to their fanbase.
9:20: Correction to what I'm seeing from commenters: agent Grossman has not created the buzz about his client to the Islanders. Garth Snow went on record to ESPN confirming he is in play for Kovalchuk. That's the buzz.
12:48, The New Home Office: This might not seem like much, but I feel that it is. More than 14 hours after the news first broke on Twitter about the Islanders being interested in Ilya Kovalchuk, there has been a record amount of guesses advertised as breaking-news and a few lies told for the benefit of positioning.
All that said, know this about the Islanders' interest in Kovalchuk: it is legitimate and sincere. It is also on-going. Maybe three people associated with the Islanders are in on it. You know who they are: Charles Wang, Garth Snow and possibly a capologist/numbers cruncher. By now, you should know the notion of a coaching staff and scouts sitting around the Coliseum going, "Hmm…let's see…do we want Kovalchuk? What impact would he have on our young players? What would our top lines look like?"…let's just say – like the drafting of Kirill Kabanov, that's not what's going on.
Of course, Charles Wang should be involved in this one. You're looking at a transaction of somewhere between $50 and $120 million – all of it his money.
Bottom line, the Islanders are in this to sign Ilya Kovalchuk. More on this later. I have at least one significant tidbit of information I'd like to get confirmation on from a second source. Confident I will.
4:45 pm: Is it worth tens of millions of dollars to Charles Wang to announce the acquisition of a franchise-shifting NHL all-star like Ilya Kovalchuk during a week when Kate Murray is expected to unveil her vision for what can be developed on the Nassau Coliseum property? It very well could be.
Sources confirm that the Islanders' pursuit of the two-time 50-goal scorer is inextricably linked to the status of the Lighthouse Project. As much as the Islanders know how much the addition of Kovalchuk will lead to victories on the ice – for the cost of a contract, not players and draft picks – Wang sees his acquisition as the ultimate statement in the battle to obtain off-the-charts Islanders fan support and convince the Town of Hempstead to work with him and keep the Islanders in Nassau County. Build the team, and they will come.
In other words, the initial tweet of TSN's Darren Dreger – "Wang needs more star power to get his arena project pushed forward" – was dead-on.
Now the question is, what is Kovalchuk's timing versus Wang's? Can Kovalchuk and his agent wait for Wang's offer, or does he take the best offer in the next day or so from Los Angeles or New Jersey or any other mystery teams out there? Kovalchuk and agent Jay Grossman appear to be taking their time. Kovalchuk is by far the best free agent forward available – and is arguably superior to anyone available on the open market a year from now, it's worth pointing out.
(To be clear, despite reports of the Islanders already having $100 million for ten years on the table for Kovalchuk, I have not confirmed the existence of a solid offer by the team.)
Consistent with how the Islanders played negotiations with Dan Hamhuis and Paul Martin, details of the Islanders' offer will eventually be made known to a media outlet. This time, the Islanders hope it comes with the successful reeling in of the biggest fish in this year's market.
Make no mistake: the timing of the Kovalchuk/Islanders news with Supervisor Murray's any-day-now Lighthouse push-back is the story here. To Wang and the Islanders, Kovalchuk is about winning hockey games and taking a leap in what was a slow and steady rebuild. But he's about so much more.
Entries from Friday Night into Saturday Morning
10:30 pm: Well, this is fascinating, no matter how it shakes out. Just as I'm alerted to Darren Dreger's tweet about the Islanders supposedly making a push for Ilya Kovalchuk, I notice the highly-respected Helene Elliott of the LA Times tweets something similar. Worth noting that Helene writes about the Kings, considered one of the frontrunners for Kovalchuk.
So I sit down to write about this for Point Blank, and I get this email from a major power broker in the industry:
Just a heads up, Wang and Snow are making a huge push to grab Kovalchuk. They are $9M under the floor and Charles believes signing Kovy will be the catalyst for finally getting the Lighthouse approved.
Pretty wild. Guy has my cellphone number. Sends an email to the Point Blank web address. To be candid with you, I love the guy, but for a second it sorta felt like I was being played. Turns out I wasn't.
Because then Garth Snow texted Pierre LeBrun to confirm the Islanders are bidding for Kovalchuk.
What does it all mean? Well, for starters, Kovalchuk and his agent, Jay Grossman, now may have an additional bidder for the star's services.
If you're an Islanders follower, you have to be intrigued. If Charles Wang was okay with giving $30 million to an unflashy defenseman like Dan Hamhuis, what's $80 million for an every-season 40-goal scorer?
10:55 pm: Here's what I'm wrestling with. I love Kovalchuk as a player. Would be ecstatic if he came here for Charles Wang's money. Even acknowledging the Islanders would be better, does Ilya Kovalchuk get a $4 billion mega real estate development done?
The timing is fascinating. This comes out on a Friday night, Fourth of July weekend, when Kate Murray's vision for the Lighthouse is expected to be unveiled any day now.
11:38: As I just wrote on Twitter, I don't see the Islanders taking their fans down this road and then coming up way short. Charles Wang knows he cannot do that. So does Garth.
11:40: Working on a story for FanHouse, with some new information, that should be up around midnight. Will link here, and start new entries at the top of this post.
I still have a hard time understanding why the Mets decided to keep Centeno over Frank Pena. Pena has a much bigger upside and is a better defensive and offensive catcher. The Royals knew that and signed him right away. Pena is having a great year in the DWL. He is a doubles machine and is hitting for power.
ive seen alot of maron. i went to high school with him i have have a good feeling he is going to have a big season in 2014
The biggest wild card on this list is Centeno. He's so good defensively, that if his bat ever becomes even average, he has to be your MLB starter. He would be a tremendous asset to our young and developing pitching staff. But what about Plawecki or d'Arnaud?? I don't trust d'Arnaud to stay healthy and I can see them sliding him at 1B just to keep him on the field. Plawecki I like, although I want to see how he does this year in a more age-appropriate league. Like I said, wild card is Centeno. If his bat can be average, d'Arnaud or Plawecki slide to 1B while the other is traded.
Is Centeno thought of as a potential backup MLB catcher to D'Arnaud for 2014? And is Plawecki's best-case ETA September 2014 or June 2015? Let's say he continue to impress in AA and earns a June call-up to AAA.
Plawecki will be better than advertised! Hope to see him a lot in spring training.
Very top heavy, but can't complain when the top C prospect 3 years ago was Josh Thole. Now you have an Opening day Stater, and what looks like a MLB regular heading into AA. With a very solid #2 catcher sitting in AAA.
@Hank259 I can see Centeno being the back up Catcher for several years but playing getting 50 starts or so, to keep TDA healthy, and give TDA a few games at 1B or DH in interleague.
That being said, I was really impressed with Recker's defense, game calling, and ability to handle a pitching staff last season. He definitely has some pop in his bat too. I would love to see him make a little more contact this season, and take a step forward.
Plawecki seems like the RH version of Josh Thole to me.
If TDA is as good as advertised, and Recker can take a small step forward in 2014, we may not need to worry so much about Plawecki, Centeno or Maron. Although it would be nice to see them all progress next season.
I think we are in good shape behind the plate for the foreseeable future, with some dynamite arms throwing to them.
@dave42Recker is the backup right now, Centeno is AAA starter and #3. Mets will probobly pick up a vet catcher on a minor league deal too cause that's a little bit too thin.
I think Plaw, while everybody likes him is too far away. Maybe he gets a look in September, but probably not till 2015.
@dave42Centeno spent time with the Mets in 2013 (he was called up at the end of 2013 not 2014) so he can certainly fill that role again next season if needed. He's the third catcher who can go back and forth between AAA and the Mets as needed.
I'd think later on Plawecki since they don't have a need at the position and he still had two levels to master. He should be in big league camp working with the big league pitchers to get an early start on being familiar with them. Maybe April 2015.
@1975No offense but what better than advertised???
He's seen as an every day regular as a catcher... He doesn't have the upside of a D'Arnaud because he doesn't have the power profile to be considered an ELITE hitting prospect, nor does he have the Arm to be a defensive Strength.
He's a solid offensive performer who shows a good approach that is aggressive not K'ing or BB'ing a ton (8% BBrate and 10%Krate). with Gap power (38 doubles 8 HR in 551 AB's)
He's a good receiver but doesn't possess a very very strong Arm for that to be a strength either. Very Very good prospect, but won't ever be considered Elite because he lacks those 2 tools.
@Mark Kelly It's top heavy, but we're talking about the best catching prospect in baseball along with another guy who is probably a top 10 catching prospect in baseball.
Even though the rest of our catchers are MLB backups at best, catcher is not necessarily a position that you can have (or really need) tons of potential starters at. It's not a position that you can move off of easily (without losing a ton of value) and there are a limited number of catching prospects in baseball with starting potential.
If we can get a good #2 catcher from 3-5 on this list (which is very realistic), I would call that a success.
@Mark Kelly Monday morning QBing? IF Thole was in AAA now he would be the second best prospect on this list.
@Mark Kelly Agreed. This is easily the most depth the Mets have had at the position in a long while. Hopefully d'Arnaud establishes himself as the guy for the Mets in 2014 (and beyond) and Plawecki continues to progress in AA/AAA. That'd leave the Mets with a very nice trade chip in Plawecki to fill any holes that need to be filled headed into 2015.
I think you may be right. While the bad news is that no one knows how this will all work out, the good news is that we have some great options going forward. 2014 will be a huge year for all of these guys, and lots of fun for us to watch them develop.
@natew@dave42 Plawecki will most likely spend almost all of 2014 at AA. Unless he just absolutely pummels the ball, and takes some big strides defensively, he will probably see the majors until June 2015 at the absolute earliest, barring an injury and need on the parent club. Anything can happen though, but I see him as a 2015 September callup, and possible backup C on the 2016 squad.
@flushed@Mark Kelly
I'm not knocking Thole by any means... He was just a marginal player at best, and he wasn't anything spectacular.. Batting average heavy with no power.
Right now you have 2 of the mets top 15 prospects at the C position, and depending on the source 2 top 100 prospects in baseball... Thole was the #5 mets prospect in 2010 in a weak mets system,and never cracked a top 100 list.
Additionally behind Thole was Nothing, Pena who's stock was dropping like a lead balloon. That's what the point was. You have D'arnaud who has All-Star Potential, Plawecki who is Thole with more gap power offensively and a extremely good backup defensive driven C in AAA... Deeper with better upper ends.
Again no knock, just a fact...
Plawecki is currently a better prospect than Thole ever was.
Yeah i've seen him on there somewhere... He's not on every list.
He's not. However, I remember John Sickels saying not too long ago that he had Plawecki somewhere in the 80s on one of his lists
@Mark Kelly Where did you see Plawecki on a top 100? Not interrogating. Just curious.

Each is forged from a single piece of extra strong stainless steel for maximum stability, going through six different stages of heat production for a higher degree of sharpness. This is followed by an ice-hardening process for each blade which takes place at -70°C for increased durability and stain resistance.

The Department of Asian and Asian American Studies
The Department of Asian and Asian American Studies at Binghamton University supports the study of Asia and transoceanic, transnational Asian diasporas of the world. The department places emphasis on the studies of Asian histories, languages, and cultures within Asia as geographically defined, and studies of Asian diasporas, with particular focus on Asians of the Americas.
Our department encourages work that is interdisciplinary, comparative, or global in methodology and theory, as well as work that is specialized locally or regionally. It also supports work that examines the study of Asia and Asian diasporas as complex nexuses of sociological, geographical, and political regions, as well as economies, histories, and ideas across national and oceanic boundaries. Students benefit from the cross-national work and research agendas of both Asianists and Asian Americanists in productive dialogue.
The department offers a number of undergraduate majors: Asian and Asian American Studies, with four separate tracts; as well as majors in Chinese Studies, Japanese Studies, and Korean Studies. Minors are also offered in these areas. The department also offers a combined AAAS/MPA degree. A new MA program in Asian and Asian American Studies will be launched this fall.
Many of the department's courses are cross-listed with other departments, allowing students to fulfill credit requirements across a variety of academic disciplines. Additionally, most Asian and Asian American Studies courses fulfill Binghamton University General Education Requirements.
The Department is home to programs in Asian American and Diaspora Studies, Chinese Studies, Japanese Studies, Korean Studies, and South Asia Studies.

How to Make Pumpkin Puree
The farmers market has been full of pumpkins and other winter squash recently and I have been wanting to do something with them. A few of the recipes on my "to try" list called for pumpkin puree and although the canned stuff is convenient I wanted to try making my own pumpkin puree. It turns out that making your own pumpkin puree is really easy. You simply cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds and roast it in the oven until it is soft enough to mash or puree.
Note: You can also puree other winter squash such as butternut squash in the same way.
Note: Make sure you save your seeds to make toasted pumpkin seeds with.
Update: After experimenting a bit, it turns out that pumpkin puree freezes well so I will be making a lot of pumpkin puree while the pumpkins are in season and freezing it for use later on.
Pumpkin Puree(makes a vaying amount depending on the size of your pumpkin)
Printable Recipe
1 pumpkin
1. Cut the pumpkin in half.
2. Scoop out the seeds and stringy bits.
3. Place the halves face down on a baking sheet.
4. Bake the pumpkin in a 400F oven until soft, about 30-90 minutes depending on how thick the pumpkin is.
5. Scoop the flesh from the pumpkin and mash with a fork.
Things to use pumpkin puree in:
Thai Pumpkin Soup
Pumpkin Pie Milkshake
Pumpkin Pie Cinnamon Buns with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting
Pumpkin and Shrimp Bisque
Pumpkin White Chocolate and Macadamia Nut Cookies
Pumpkin Gnocchi
Roasted Pumpkin, Pancetta and Sage Soup
Pumpkin Greek Yogurt Banana Bread
Pumpkin Pie Quinoa Parfait with Gingersnap Pecan Streusel
Pumpkin Hummus
Pumpkin Chorizo and Black Bean Soup

Don Henley Says The Songs Are The 'Stars' Of The Eagles' Show
Thursday, July 11, 2013
Over 40 years after releasing their self-titled debut, Don Henley says the true superstar of the Eagles is the music. Although the group's lineup has changed frequently over the decades, Henley and co-founder Glenn Frey have weathered the personnel problems and managed to always keep the band centered on the music first.
Henley told The Courier-Journal, "The songs are bigger than the band and that's exactly the way it should be. Those songs are now a part of the lives of millions of people, the world over, and it's very gratifying to know that we have somehow touched all those lives. But, as a band -- and as individuals -- we were never all that enthusiastic about the fame aspect, never thought of ourselves as 'rock stars.' We have seldom actively sought the limelight except in terms of the obligatory marketing duties and the concert tours. We go before the public to perform our material and that's it."
He maintains that by focusing on the work, the band has been able to shake off the distractions that have plagued many of their peers over the years: "We long ago made a conscious, deliberate decision to let the songs be the stars. We are the creators of those songs and we are the conduit, the means of expression for them, but we will eventually fade away and the songs will live on."
Henley explained that the 40th anniversary tour is an absolute special occasion for the Eagles and fans alike: "This tour will definitely be different. There will be some stripped-down, intimate, musical moments hearkening back to our very first rehearsals in a shack in the San Fernando Valley. . . There will be some new arrangements of familiar tunes. The sets and the lighting will be all new and the visual aspect of the show is something that we are very excited about."
Don Henley explained to us what it was about the Eagles' music that registered so deeply with their fans: "I think a lot of it has to do with timing. I think these songs came along at a time in people's lives when they were becoming adults, or, y'know, going through a certain period in their life, their lives. And, y'know, there's a cliche about songs being 'the soundtrack' to people's lives and things like that, but I would imagine that there are a lot of different reasons for that and we don't have a clue."

That seems...excessive. I like the ones where the models' hands are close to their mouths and the "V"--at first glance it appears as if they are clenching the "V" which I think is kinda cool...

I love the Naomi cover. It has that dark, DARK quality that made her so alluring and mysterious in the first place. I also love Eva on the cover. 14 is a bit too much, though.

Mike Piazza wants to go into HOF as a Met
Last night, Mike Piazza was in attendance at the Knicks 119-114 loss to the Nuggets at Madison Square Garden, and appeared on Celebrity Row with Jill Martin during halftime.
When asked what hat he wants to wear if elected to the Hall of Fame, he responded:
"It's gotta be the Mets. No question."
Piazza is eligible for election to the Hall of Fame next January, and the Hall of Fame chooses the hat an elected player wears on his plaque.
Piazza is the all-time home run leader among catchers, and in eight seasons with the Mets, Piazza hit .296 with 220 home runs and 655 RBI with a .542 slugging percentage.
To see video of Piazza at last night's Knicks/Nuggets game, click the play button below:
In exchange for Anton Stralman even up, I'd make the move, otherwise I'll pass.

Designing usability
Applications/products/solution are becoming more advanced and complex in nature with rapid advances made in the hardware capabilities of the device and the ensuing software improvements to support the increased processing prowess at hand. With the ever increasing complexity of the solution comes the perennial problem of either educating the end user the nuances of being able to use the system or ensure that despite the complexities behind the interface it remains still as easy and convenient to use the product. The former is time consuming/costly and sometimes impossible given the market dynamics and the geographical reach of a product. Also higher the time taken to learn how to use the product lowers the chances of a satisfied user.
Time is of essence in today's world and more often then not the user doesn't have the time or the patience to go through a training/manual to understand what's and how's of the system before being able to use it. They rather things be upstart and ready to use if as little effort and time taken as possible.
This brings us to the second aspect of a software development, ensuring a higher level of usability at every step of the development lifecycle. Wikipedia describes usability as:-
The primary notion of usability is that an object designed with a generalized users' psychology and physiology in mind is, for example:
- More efficient to use—it takes less time to accomplish a particular task
- Easier to learn—operation can be learned by observing the object
- More satisfying to use
For more on that check link
Usability becomes all the more important when designing for the real estate constraints of the mobile device. A user interface which might look very nice and chic on a desktop might look very cluttered and ugly on the mobile device. Even before getting down to the development of the product, a careful analysis needs to be made about the overall look and feel of the interfaces and how to compress the content to the device specifications without missing out on any key components.
Key components of usability design are:-
* Understanding/respecting the user
Since the idea of usability is to ensure a high user satisfaction which in turn is driven by the ease of use and efficiency of the product being offered to the customer, it is imperative to understand who the intended user of the solution is likely to be. The comfort level, usage patterns, technical skill sets, expectations/requirements, cultural/linguistic identity mapping of the target user should ideally be the first step of usability designs. Some ways to achieve this could be "one to one interviews", "questionnaires and surveys", "observation of the user", each of which would throw up data points and information which would be helpful in usability design. Conducting face to face meetings with users to understand what they are looking at from the intended product, what are their usage patterns for a similar competitor product? Questionnaires and surveys would give insights into what the key components of the product should be from a user's desirability aspect, what features/interfaces works well for them and what doesn't. Sometimes spending time with the end user to just observe their usage patterns, behavioral patterns gives us an insight into what the resultant product should look/work like.
A nice idea would be to have a diverse set of potential user group as this would throw up ideas/insights with different perspectives. This would help in bringing in new/fresher ideas, as a closed user group interaction sometimes can't think outside the box as they say. It might also help sharing with the end users, some of the ideas you might already have about the usability of the system. This would help getting a buy-in from them in case they like it, or also assimilate improvement ideas if there are any.
It is imperative to never under-estimate the intelligence of the user, as they generally know what they want even if they don't know/need to know how the same can be achieved. The latter is anyways not their job; it's your area of expertise. During your interactions with the user never try to intimidate/overwhelm them with technical jargons and complexities. Always ensure that you bring forth easy to understand and follow discussion points and outlays, try to present it in easy to relate and follow manner, as the primary idea is to have them at comfort for them to share their ideas with you.
Another important aspect of the user interfacing and interaction is to get a final buy-in/sign off of sorts from them. During your interactions capture all their ideas, collate them into some sort of a template which can be used as a reference point and once you have done that get it signed off by the group you are interacting with. This would help you in your usability testing/validation once you are ready with a blueprint of the product or a usable/demo able version, depending upon how you are approaching the entire usability engineering.
The users communicate with each other! That shouldn't be a surprise for anyone. And if good news travel fast, the bad news travel even faster. It is very important to remember the basic fact that you won't be in business if not for the user who spends their precious money to buy the product/services that you have to offer. Always ensure that the adage "consumer is king" is respected, just having a killer application with jazzy technical stuff and not being all that usable wont do the job. The end user has to be satisfied and happy enough to recommend your product to others, always strive for positive word of mouth publicity and a product which scores high on usability generally does end up being talked about in good reviews.
* Testing and validating the system
Once you have captured the user requirements and done a careful analysis of the user psyche and usage patterns, you get down to the actual implementation of the same into the product. You should ensure you have a budget/buffer for testing and validating your system at every step of the design with the end user so that you don't end up with a half baked/not usable system at the end of the lifecycle.
An iterative approach so to speak would allow you to quickly remedy any glitches/mistakes early on with lesser costs and time impact on the overall deliverables. For instance if you were to follow the waterfall model of development this kind of validation would become very difficult as you would have a structured approach/timelines to the overall development. Consider carefully the impact of this on the final outcome of the process before even getting to the individual phases per se.
* Design to make the constraints your strength
Even though this may sound a little philosophical but if actually put into practice it can turn out to be that ways. Most mobile devices have a limited screen space, but are rich in color support, UI controls, layout and other tools which can be used effectively to create an enriching user experience.
Some key points to remember while doing usability design for mobile applications:-
- Ensure that the application follows a neatly organized navigational layout; the idea is not to confuse the user but rather to help them at every step.
- Maintain consistency of fonts/colors and text sizes on all views to ensure an easy on the eyes user experience. Localize the content where ever possible.
- Provide a help manual/online help/context sensitive help to guide the user with the workings of the system
- Always follow the Style Guides while implementing the options/commands layout, you don't want to place a negative action on a soft key associated with a positive action and vice versa.
A through usability design and implementing it properly during the coding/testing phase would ensure that you have an application which is both ease to use and is well appreciated by the customer.

WALTER HELITRONIC POWER Tool Grinding Machine
At IMTS 2014, United Grinding North America, Inc. will celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the HELITRONIC POWER, which made its debut at IMTS. In honor of its anniversary, the company will feature a custom-painted version of the Classic Power machine shown in 1994.
Two decades later, it is the company's best-selling tool grinding machine, with more than 3,800 units sold worldwide. Designed with precision, productivity and flexibility in mind, the 5-axis WALTER HELITRONIC POWER CNC tool grinding machine produces and re-sharpens rotationally symmetrical tools and complex parts made from HSS, carbide, cermet and ceramic in a single clamping.
The machine features a solid grey cast iron base and WALTER's patented 3D gantry design, which provides excellent stability properties, to convert the high dynamism of the digital drives into low-vibration grinding precision. Because of the design's minimal axis travels and maximum rigidity, users achieve fast cycle times with excellent tool finishes.
When purchasing the machine, users can choose between a motor spindle or belt-driven spindle. The single-ended motor spindle has a drive power of up to 24 kW and a liquid cooling system for increased spindle life. For high levels of efficiency and productivity, users can mount up to three grinding wheels in a single grinding wheel holder, with up to eight grinding wheel holders fitting into the grinding wheel changer.

The HELITRONIC POWER's automatic positioning and Heli-Probe measuring system collects important tool parameters and positions the tool as quickly as possible, resulting in increased productivity.
Through a GE FANUC control and HELITRONIC TOOL STUDIO application software, the HELITRONIC POWER brings users high reliability, high precision, high speed and simple operation. Machine operators can program machine steps and movement sequences for both rotationally symmetrical tools and special tools with complete ease. And for increased efficiency, users can add several options to the application software, including a feedrate optimizer, tool balancer, integrated measuring system and adaptive control.
STUDER S33 Universal Cylindrical Grinding Machine
The S33 universal cylindrical grinding machine features an all-new ergonomic design and a new post-process control system that checks the absolute diameter and length of the workpiece while its on the machine.
This highly versatile machine performs ID, OD and thread grinding operations on medium-sized workpieces in individual batch production. It has a center height of 6.9" (175 mm) and distance between centers of 25.6" (650 mm) or 39.4" (1,000 mm), with a maximum workpiece weight between centers being 176 lbs (80 kg) or 264 lbs (120 kg).
To further increase the ergonomics and convenience of its products, STUDER applied a new design to the S33 that makes it easier for operators to interact with the machine, including better access to the work area, easier loading and unloading of parts as well as improved access for automation. Furthermore, the machine's main contours are rounded for a sleek new look.
Only available on the S33, STUDER's new post-process multiControl system is an alternative for external control measurement using manual micrometer screws. The system provides absolute measurement of workpiece diameters without having to remove the part from the clamping source for remeasurement. Automatic size adjustments are done based on measuring each part after grinding. The system records the measuring data in a PDF or Excel file, allowing users to determine part rejection causes during unmanned night shifts. Overall, multiControl is a cost-effective process monitoring system that checks the differences and actual values of a workpiece, allowing users to base programming on absolute masses from drawings.
STUDER offers two wheelhead variants for the S33. A new turret wheelhead with two motor spindles and an internal grinding attachment enables the processing of complex geometries in a single clamping. Also available are a wheelhead for external grinding at 0 to 30 degrees in production applications or two internal grinding spindles with one external spindle.
A universal workhead design allows the S33 to perform either live spindle grinding or grinding between centers, with users, in some cases, being able to retool the machine from one process to the other in less than two minutes. The S33 can also be fitted with a chuck workhead for chuck applications, while an optional C-axis allows the machine to perform thread and form grinding.
A special Granitan® S103 mineral-casting machine base allows the S33 to achieve excellent vibration damping and thermal stability that results in high surface quality and workpiece accuracy. Adding to the machine's rigidity are longitudinal and cross slides made from high quality gray cast iron and optimally positioned ground V and flat guideways. The slides rest completely on the machine bed guideways throughout the machine's entire speed range to provide excellent inherent grinding straightness.
STUDER grinding software with StuderPictogramming in a standard integrated StuderTechnology system allows less experienced operators to quickly optimize the potential of the machine, while the more advanced StuderGRIND software makes it possible to efficiently program special applications, including form and thread grinding.
Users can easily automate the new S33 with a side, gantry or front-load robot system. The various automation and handling options provided by STUDER and UNITED GRINDING allow manufacturers to configure the right system for their unique needs.

Best save the date ever!!!
Made for Each Other Save the Date Cards Got so many compliments on this one! We used navy blue, ivory, and green. We put in our favorite photos from when he proposed! It's cute and different...
Nice but small
Photo Tradition Save the Date Cards I really like the design of these cards and the picture quality is great! They were however a lot smaller than I expected. They look more like an over-sized bookmark than a picture card. I probably should have payed closer attention to the sizing, but the editing and photos on the website were also a little misleading in terms of size. Overall, the delivery was fast and the quality is great. I will be ordering my invitations from here too...I will make sure to look at the sizes and order a free sample first.
so cute!
Made for Each Other Save the Date Cards we loved this design! It allowed us to show a few photos on a small space which was great.
So Happy!
Made for Each Other Save the Date Cards I'm so happy with how our Save-the-Dates came out! It was so easy to personalize our product. We simply uploaded and placed our images and then updated the text and even changed the colors. They came out exactly as I designed them and I was happy that the colors we picked for our text came out exactly the way I expected. I can't wait to mail these to our friends and family! I would definitely recommend these products to a friend. I'll be back for products in the future!
Buy from them they are worth it!!!!!
Made for Each Other Save the Date Cards My experience was amazing with this company, my product was delivered in a timely manner and the customer service department answered all my questions. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, I was able to personalize my save the dates with the colors I wanted and it was simple to follow and do. The quality of the paper was amazing it was cardstock so it is very durable.
