"When it comes to appliances, homeowners oftentimes take them for granted," said Angie List Owner Angie Hicks. "We don't take proper care of them and then we end up disappointed when they don't work right. We over-stuff our freezers so proper airflow can't get through or we overload our dishwasher so it doesn't even have a prayer of being able to get the dishes clean."
11% of the poll respondents said they've had an appliance die in the midst of preparing a special meal.
"If you're going to be hosting dinner over the holiday season be sure to do a test run before the big day," said Hicks. "Do it at least two weeks ahead of time of time. Cook a nice meal to make sure the oven is working properly because the last thing you want to do when guests are there is serve them frozen turkey."
Your refrigerator runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week - so simple maintenance is key.
"The only thing you can do besides wiping it down and keeping it clean," said Appliance Repair Company Rick Cantleberry. "Your kick plate down here, you can pull it off. If you have coils underneath there you can vacuum them and keep them clean. Some are on the back behind the back panel and you have to pull out and take the back panel off to do some cleaning, but be sure you unplug it when you do that. If they are on the back wall, if the condenser coils are on the back wall, just dust them off, that's all you got to do."
Your dishwasher will also be working overtime this holiday season.
"As far as dishwashers, one of the biggest problems we have, especially during the holiday season, is you've got a house full of people coming over and people tend to take their plates and wipe them off into the dishwasher or just throw them into the dishwasher," said Cantleberry. "We literally see people with steak or chicken bones inside their dishwashers and then the people say "well, they told us there was a disposal in there and it will chop up the food." Not true, really. There are a lot of dishwashers that have a chopping blade in there, which will chop up small pieces: corn, beans, things like that. You're going to end up ruining that chopping blade and then calling us because a clog and then you got a repair bill on your hands. Clean the plates off in your disposal or get the paper plates out."
Home appliances are expensive, and you want to ensure the company you hire is reputable and has the skills required to complete the fix in a timely and efficient manner.
Here's what you shouldn't do before the holidays: run your oven's self-cleaning cycle. Self-cleaning cycles cause the oven to run at extremely high temperatures, which could cause them to fail.
Another way to keep your oven clean, wipe it down after each use with soap and water.

NEW YORK -- The $11 billion merger of Kmart and Sears will result in an expansion of off-mall stores carrying convenience and pantry food items, but the new retail giant doesn't appear likely to remain an operator of superstores that include a full-service grocery component.

I used this product to as a candy jar for a table decoration/favor for a team holiday dinner. Some were filled with Christmas candy - M&M's and some with Hershey kisses, which was portioned real nicely since the jar wasn't too small like other jars I've seen. The one thing I wished was that the rubber ring around the seal was glued to the glass. Otherwise, the glass should have had a threaded seal. The party guests who ranged in their late 20s to late 40s really liked the design.

Have an on going problem when trying to plow with this truck.It loses amperage so bad I can not pick the plow up until I shut the truck off and wait a bit before restarting.They put on a new voltage regulator,new computer etc.When the mechanic called the GM rep and discussed this with him he said there was nothing wrong.I make a living with my truck and have had 12+ Chevys over the years with no problems,this is ridiculous.I feel I am being pushed aside because they dont know whats wrong yet.

Police: Woman left child alone during burglary
BARRE City police cited Mia Boudreau, 33, of Barre, on charges of burglary and reckless endangerment of a child Thursday, according to a news release.
Police were called to Brook Street shortly before 6 a.m. for a reported burglary.
Police say they found Boudreau in a brook near the property, bleeding from multiple cuts consistent with the scene of the burglary, according to the news release. She was reportedly acting irrational.
Boudreau was treated at Central Vermont Medical Center for her injuries and later taken to the Barre City Police Department for booking.
According to police, Boudreau is known to members of the department because of recent dealings involving the Department for Children and Families and her 2-year-old child. Police said Boudreau had left the child at home alone during the burglary incident.
Police said she gave misleading information about the childs whereabouts and that officers were sent to her residence, where they found the child in her apartment naked, trembling on a couch and alone, and had been so for approximately five hours.
The child was taken into custody, and police filled out paperwork to have the court turn the childs care over to DCF.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Goalie Emily Bashara stopped 44 shots but the Green Knights still had a field day...

Hello and welcome to Good Game, the show for gamers by gamers, Im Bajo.
And Im Hex. Welcome back Bajo, E3 looked amazing.
Yeah it was amazing Hex, of course we didnt have time to show everything we asked the devs last week so we've created an E3 vault where we'll be uploading the full interviews from this year. Some of them are up there already, including David Cage who's the genius behind Beyond: Two Souls. He's an inspiration.
This week on the show we journey to Westeros with the new Game of Thrones RPG.
Plus quirky developer SUDA 51 is back, with a grind house-style zombie romp, Lollipop Chainsaw.
And gamers of Australia can finally celebrate the successful passing of the legislation to introduce an R18+ rating for video games. So Goose will takes us back over the decade long struggle and meets some of the heroes of the campaign.
But first can you guess the game for this week?
OK Bajo, back to that news desk.

Read: Judges 3:7-11
Reading the book of Judges, with its battles and mighty warriors, can sometimes feel like reading about comic book superheroes. We have Deborah, Barak, Gideon, and Samson. However, in the line of judges (or deliverers), we also find Othniel.
The account of his life is brief and straightforward (Judges 3:7-11). No drama. No display of prowess. But what we do see is what God did through Othniel: The Lord raised up a deliverer (v.9), the Spirit of the Lord came upon him (v.10), and the Lord delivered Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand (v.10).
The Othniel account helps us focus on what is most importantthe activity of God. Interesting stories and fascinating people can obscure that. We end up concentrating on those and fail to see what the Lord is doing.
When I was young, I wished I could be more talented so that I could point more people to Christ. But I was looking at the wrong thing. God often uses ordinary people for His extraordinary work. It is His light shining through our lives that glorifies God and draws others to Him (Matt. 5:16).
When others look at our life, it is more important that they see Godnot us.

The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Time will tell if the Cubs just lucked out by not acquiring Brian Roberts. His strength wouldn't have been in the field as we already have a solid second baseman in Mark DeRosa. Roberts would have given the Cubs a leadoff switch-hitter with a track record of well above average OBP and basestealing ability. Not making the trade keeps the Cubs farm system talent pool of near MLB ready talent available for the future, whether it be a different transaction or if those prospects develop further, maybe a spot on the roster if an injury occurs. Could Sean Gallagher replace one of our 5 starters if more than one breaks down? Will Eric Patterson become a bona-fide mlb leadoff hitter? Can Jose Ceda or lefty Donald Veal become the power arm that teams drool over with just a little more seasoning? Will Roberts back spasms limit his playing time this year devaluing his baserunning skills and therefore his trade value on a team which needed to completely rebuild with young talent?
I tried to think of deals that were rumored but never happened, but ultimately worked out better than if the trade had occurred. Last year Jacques Jones was almost dealt to the Marlins while being nearly useless to the club the first half of 2007. After that "almost trade" he started hitting again and some would say that was the difference the team needed to make the playoffs.
I'm sure Cubs history is full of rumored deals that never happened giving credence to the cliche that "not making that trade was the best thing that could have happened". So here's a chance for TCR readers to chime in on trades that almost happened (but never did) and the historical hindsight that goes with it.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
One of the Best Trades We NEVER Made was definitely when Mary Rowengartner blocked the trade of her son and cubs star pitcher Henry Rowengartner to the Yankees. Henry was a 12 years old star prospect known for his 103 mph fast ball, great locker room personality and historic hidden ball trick. Without Henry Rowengartner we never would have taken the mets for that divisional championship.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Here's one that I remembered. Dateline June 2000.
Sosa to the Yankees (rumored for Soriano). Now I'd consider that oddly ironic more than anything.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Not sure I agree with you on this one, Cubster. Despite all of his home runs, the Cubs might have been better off after 2000 without Sammy Selfish.
Also, the irony is there on a number of levels. That "the Cubs insisted on five players" for Sosa sure sounds like MacPhail's handiwork. It's what he tried to get for Roberts the last couple of months.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
I agree it's not the ideal example of being better off for not making the trade. Unloading Sosa's contract at that point would have saved the Cubs a ton of aggravation. Still, with what they are paying Soriano it's ultimately a wash (or maybe worse). Also the outfield in 2003 might have been Soriano in LF and Alou in RF (very ugly), assuming they could have gotten Soriano to move from 2B. Or Soriano at 2B might have affected the move of unloading Todd Hundley for Grudzielanek (and Karros).
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Still, with what they are paying Soriano it's ultimately a wash
But we wouldn't have been paying Soriano what we are paying him now. That doesn't make much sense.
Soriano's current salary has little relevance to this discussion.
I would also say that it is probably safe to assume that Soriano would have stayed at 2b, at least in 2000.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
So this doesn't exactly fit since it wasn't a trade, but I think we can all agree the original 3/44 was a great signing that never happened.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Excellent call...getting stuck Jason Schmidt would have been very ugly. It also might have made Hendry pass on Ted Lilly.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
All right, I'm not playing by the rules again, but here's an interesting one:
Not signing Jim Thome a few years ago when he stated he would like to play for the Cubs. At the time, the Cubs were still clinging to Hee Seop Choi, but then he turned into D-Lee. I could be getting my years mixed up, but Thome might have made the difference for us in 2004 when we just missed the playoffs; however, he'd be an albatross now compared to Lee.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Thome was before the 2003 season, he might have helped a bit.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
"he might have helped a bit."
2003: .266/.385/.573/.958 w/ 47 HR and 131 RBI
2004: .274/.396/.581/.977 w/ 42 HR and 105 RBI
2005: hurt
2006: .288/.416/.598/1.014 w/ 42 HR and 109 RBI
2007: .275/.410/.563/.973 w/ 35 HR and 96 RBI
Yeah with those numbers, he might have helped a smidge. :)
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Based on what we know now of Palmiero, I'd put Jim Frey's not trading Mark Grace -- and trading Palmiero instead -- on this list.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Didn't he trade Palmeiro because he slept with Cindy Sandberg? That's one possible Mariotti column I might actually want to read.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
I always thought it was Grace who slept with Cindy Sandberg.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Who hasn't slept with Cindy "Slutty" Sandberg?
Another good non-trade was the Tampa Bay Rays' Aubrey Huff. They were asking for as much as MacPhail been asking for Roberts and Huff has turned out to be a huge bust.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Allegedly they both did. Along with Dave Martinez and Tuffy Rhodes. Allegedly
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
NO that was the slump buster Grace slept with.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
I always thought Don Zimmer was the guy who slept with Cindy Sandberg?
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Cue: Interpol, "There's No 'I' in Threesome"
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Cue: Interpol, "There's No 'I' in Threesome"
I really like that song, tune-wise. But man, the title and lyrics almost ruin it.
Not a trade, but I'm glad Mike Hampton was greedy and liked Colorado's schools so much.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
From what I heard when I lived in Chandler, AZ who didn't sleep with Cindy Sandberg?
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Hey, I live in Chandler, now... you got an address? LOL
Home Run Pool Contest
I posted this in the previous thread but was hoping to get some more exposure in the new thread:
I've been running a Home Run Pool for the last 5 years. You pick 11 players from 4 groups of players. But, you also get to write in 4 players that aren't on lists - a lot of people really like this strategic aspect. There is a total of 15 players selected plus 1 tiebreaker. It costs $20 per entry and all money is returned to the pot. Last year there were 80 participants. The 4 highest HR totals payout. I expect the same level of participation this year but am always hoping for more! If you're interested send me an email at [email protected] and I'll send you an entry form. The deadline to submit picks is March 30th at 11:59 PM CST so act quickly!

If people can recruit to "profit" from a gambling pool, and the top four winners share a pot of $20 per participant, where is the line here, ROB G?
Re: What about Face Value?
you know what? good point...
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
P.S. - it was Davey Martinez who was traded for sleeping with Sandberg's wife.
But, didn't Duane Kuiper claim Mrs. Sandberg was actually his 2nd MLB HR?
Re: Cindy Sandberg
Yikes, she must have been a slumpbuster.
Re: Cindy Sandberg
No way.
You must not know the definition of a slumpbuster.
please see def. 3
Re: Cindy Sandberg
Wrong, a slumpbuster, mustn't be fat. That is a myth. She just has to be ugly. Cindy, ain't got the pretty.
Re: Cindy Sandberg
Fat is the heart of what makes a slumpbuster.
With an ugly chick, you can close your eyes and you'll never know the difference.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
She was more like the wife that William H. Macy blew away in Boogie Nights.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Nina Hartley???
Ryno comes around back from his house with a BBQ and Cindy is getting nailed in the driveway by Mitch Webster.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Prior for Tejada?
nope....that's probably the opposite of what you're thinking....
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Prior for some diamond dry and a used infield rake? Oh, ditto on the opposite.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
I could really use a good used infield rake right about now.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Cubs placed LHP Scott Eyre on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 23, with a sore left elbow.
Eligible to come off around 4-7, so he misses at least the opening two series.
Does anyone know?
Does anyone know where I might be able to get into a HR Pool of some sort?
Tony Thomas interview
says he spent the offseason working on his range, and is pleased so far with the results...
Cubs wanted him to work on his hands this offseason which he did as well...
OFF TOPIC: Today's Starting Pitchers
Mark DiFelice vs Cory Bailey!??
Someone go tell the Trib we exist
Re: Someone go tell the Trib we exist
Re: Someone go tell the Trib we exist
my response:
One of the best Cubs blog period (along with VFTB), end of story. The fact that it was not included makes me think that y'all fear "The Cub Reporter." TCR is one of my 1st choices for Cubs news.
i am guessing the trib is jealous of TCR, i mean lets face it, rob does incredible work, azphil is the roster/minors god, we got the doctor explaining all things doctory, cubnut, well is cubnut, the godfather ruz, manny is the typical idiotic troll and trans likes DS9...
Re: Someone go tell the Trib we exist
And all the Phil Rogers bashing.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Not really a trade, and, actually, in the opposite spirit of the thread, but:
I really think the Cubs made a mistake when they signed Piniella instead of Girardi.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
I wish the Fred McGriff acquisition didn't happen. Was he traded to us? I remember he resisted coming here and then when he did, it was too late to make a difference.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
we got him in a trade from TB. All we gave up was Jason Smith and Manny Aybar though. Probably the best talent for talent trade that McFail ever made.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
OK Thanks.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Back on topic...
I don't think the Cubs ever actually tried to trade him, but keeping Aramis at the 2006 trade deadline was wise...
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
However trading Type A free agent to be Greg Maddux for the ghost of Cesar Izturis....... Not so much
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
still harping on this one? Cubs weren't going to offer Maddux arbitration and risk having to give him a raise.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
They gave Jason [email protected] Marquis a 3/21 contract. Why wouldnt they offer arbitration to Maddux?
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
because Maddux wanted to play for a contender down the stretch and wanted to go to the West Coast.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
Well... if that is true, then they definitely should have offered him arbitration, as he probably would have turned it down.
But I don't think the Maddux/Izturis trade was a bad one.
They took a flier on a guy who had been (slightly) better, and it didn't work out. But Maddux wanted to be traded, and they did it for him.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
What about the Mark Grace and prospects for Don Mattingly rumor...did I dream this?
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
It was a long time ago, but Leo Durocher recounted in his book ("Nice Guys Finish Last") that he attempted to trade Billy Williams to Baltimore at one point.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
I should add that the player in question from Baltimore was not anyone good - no Frank Robinson or Jim Palmer in the mix.
Re: The Best Trades We NEVER Made
I remember last year at some point the White Sox wanted to trade for Marmol...yeah, right...
Recent comments
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er
zobrist with 2HR and a double through 8
heyward 0-4 :(
Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales
Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.

Could always strap the wiimote to your foot. Or they could make a Wii-mote shoe, I mean. They've already got controller glovesOriginally Posted by phoenix07
It'd be amazing if konami brought out table tennis for it. In my opinion it was one of the most impressive games I played for the 360.
Konami Football is confirmed, working title but we all know what that's going to be
I can't wait for that as I expected to have to buy a PS3 to get my Pro Evo dosage - a great bit of news there (although I'd presume it'll use the controller in a normal way and have a few mini games like penalty shoot outs where you have to be the keeper or skills challenges where you need to dribble round cones and stuff).
Could always strap the wiimote to your foot. Or they could make a Wii-mote shoe, I mean. They've already got controller glovesOriginally Posted by phoenix07
apparently ea is making a shoe.
How much better would NCAA football be on the Wii? You could use the wii-mote to pitch the ball on the option, or run the zone read/read option. It would make the game much more fun.
isnt that wat they did with madden?
I don't know. They don't run the option in the NFL so I wouldn't think those motions would be incorporated. However, Atlanta and Tennessee did add some read option into the playbook for Vick and Young. I haven't played Madden on Wii, haven't been able to get a Wii. It seems to have sold well, and from all I hear, people seem to be enjoying it on the Wii, so I'd think EA would make NCAA football, another one of there most popular franchises, for the Wii and add some of the elements that are in college football. I know NCAA and sports games in general didn't sell very well on the gamecube, but with the new controllers football, baseball, tennis, golf, hockey, lacrosse, would all be good games for the controller. I'm sure EA will adjust the controller to work well with basketball and soccer. NBA Live and Tiger Woods PGA Tour are both coming out. I just really want NCAA Football for Wii, I'm a huge college football fan. I'd like NCAA basketball as well, but EA will probably wait to see how well NBA Live does before they do that. I'm a big sports fan in general so I wouldn't mind seeing a lot of sports titles come to Wii. Since NCAA Football usually comes out in July I'd think an announcement would be soon if they are going to be working on it but I have no clue on how the video game world works as far as announcing games and things like that.Originally Posted by Nic Car Bel

UFC on Fuel 10 is now officially in the books. The event has to be one of shorter ones the UFC has put on in recent memory, thanks to the abundance of stoppages, particularly submissions, which kept the judges from having to do a lot of work.
If you missed any of the main card action, or just want to relive some of its submissionish goodness, check out the quick results below, or pursue the subsequent slides for a round-by-round recap of the night.
Main card quick results:
- Fabricio Werdum def. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira via submission (Round 2, 2:49)
- Leonardo Santos def. William Macario via submission (Round 2, 4:43)
- Thiago Silva def Rafael Cavalcante via TKO (Round 1, 4:29)
- Erick Silva def. Jason High via submission (Round 1, 1:11)
- Daniel Sarafian def. Eddie Mendez via submission (Round 1, 2:20)

Winter Sparkle Mirror Garland & White Lights
- The brushed aluminum rod has a 3/4-inch diameter and was, I believe, leftover from making curtain rods years ago. It is available at most hardware stores and is so pretty. (The one I used happens to be hollow, but that is not necessary for this project.)
- What would I do without nice big hooks?! These hold the 3/4-inch rod perfectly, and are nice & long so you can be sure they're secure. And of course, they're screwed into the wall studs.
- A shop on Valencia called House of Hengst moved to New York and had an amazing moving sale. I bought a ridiculous amount of mirror garland (like, 30 yards) for $12. I didn't have a plan at the time, but find that kind of thing impossible to resist.
- After resting the rod in the hooks, I started draping the mirror garland over it, letting the lengths vary slightly. Some pieces I cut, but most were left long and folded in 1/3rds or 1/4ths, so I'll still have the option of long garland in the future.
- Put on some festive holiday music (in my case, Salt-N-Pepa), plug in your lights, and let the magic begin. I ran the lights directly up from a wall outlet, and draped them back and forth between the hooks, behind the garland. It occurred to me in the moments of tangles that it would have been easier to arrange the lights first, but I did like being able to tell how they would hang behind the garland. I think it was worth the bits of frustration.

The Jurys Inn is located right across the street from Waverly Train Station, a 3 minute walk with luggage. We stayed in room 523 which was on the corner and had a nice view of Calton Hill and the Waverly Train Station. The room was comfortable and bright. We could hear alot of street noise being on a busy street and across from a train station. We stayed there for 3 nights, so the noise was not that bad. Wi-Fi was $12.00 per night, not a good investment. We found free Wi-Fi in front of Star Bucks on the Royal Mile. The is no room safe.
We selected this hotel because of its location, as it was within walking distance to all the sights we wanted to see.
We would stay here again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Jurys Inn Edinburgh is located in the heart of Edinburgh's beautiful Old Town next to the famous Royal Mile and only a 2 min walk from Waverly Train Station. Princes Street and Edinburgh Castle are a pleasant 10-15 minute walk away. Whether you're looking for hotels in Edinburgh for business at the International Conference Centre, or touring Edinburgh Castle and the sights of historic Scotland's capital, our Edinburgh hotel means all your destinations are within easy and always interesting walking distance.

imjustcreative Minimal Logo Cards In Helvetica From Moo
A few weeks ago there was in interesting post doing the rounds on minimal style business cards. The motivation was to create mostly blank cards with maybe a logo or one specific useful bit of printed information; leaving the giver to jot a custom note or allowing the recipient to do it themselves.
I found this to be a really interesting take on business cards as it allowed for a more personal and unique touch to what can be a rather steril and generic action, and so I decided to create some myself.
They are not business cards in the general sense, I would say they are more of a business note card.
What And How
The first thing was to decided on the level of information to be printed, so I opted for a double sided option: full logo on top front left and then my tag line on the bottom left reverse leaving ample blank space for notes and scribbles.
I then looked at how one could get this information onto the card and considered regular litho or digital printing, creating an even more minimal look by just having a Spot-UV of the logo, and the last option was a deboss or letterpress. As this was more a trial run I opted for the quick and easy option of printing just black, and saving the more costly versions if the trial was successful.
Where And What
Moo.com was the obvious choice for hassle free and cost effective printing so the only other decision was the card type to use. I usually use their coated stock which is really nice and relatively firm at 350gsm, but the coated card can be tricky to write on with Biro or pencil.
To allow easy scribbling with any kind of pen or pencil opting for the uncoated and 100% recycled card option makes perfect sense. The uncoated cards actually has a heavier tactile feel to it than the coated card in my opinion.
The cards took just over a week to arrive and I am really pleased with the overall look and feel of these minimal style logo cards. When you add them to the Moo card holder, which fans out, you get a nice spacious view of the cards and logo.
As there are three levels to the card holder I reversed the card on the bottom level so that the tag line is also viewable on presentation, as you can see below.
Worth A Shot
If you are bored with full contact business cards then it is well worth considering this option as a supplement or replacement. Being a logo designer the concept works nicely as they really are just my logo cards, and the message could not be clearer.
Cost £28: 50 double sided cards on uncoated 100% recycled stock plus white Moo card holder including P&P and VAT.
The only proviso here is that you always carry a pen or pencil but as I rarely go anywhere without my notebook and writing stuff this is not a concern.
Featured on Moo
Proud to have these cards featured in a blog post on the Moo.com blog.

In addition to the invitation card that informs your guest of the specific ceremony details, you will find enclosed with it reception cards, response cards and direction cards. A reception card can be avoided if your ceremony and reception will take place in the same location.
Most couples choose to include directions with their invitations to help ensure their guests arrive promptly. Often you can combine a map, written directions and accommodation information all on one card. Etiquette directs you to make the whole invitation very simple but we recommend that you avoid a separate mailing. This will save trees, reduce waste and cut down on costs!
You will need a response card if you are having a catered event. Your caterer will need to have a final guest count within two weeks of your event. You can save trees/waste/money if you use the more casual postcard style response.
Traditionally, invitations were sent in two envelopes so that the servant of the house could open the outer "soiled" envelope and present the master of the house with the pristine inner envelope. Earth-friendly/budget-friendly single envelopes are our favorite! Single envelopes do present a dilemma. Read more about how to deal with that issue here.
