Local service organizations turn to social media for connection
With today's constantly changing technology, many service organizations are training employees to adapt and utilize social media.
Social media have become a way to reach different audiences -- including a younger crowd.
Liz McLachlan, development associate at Lighthouse of Oakland County, said her organization has started to take advantage of social media because of their ability to reach a wide audience.
The organization has significantly increased use of social media -- posting content on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr.
"We use social media, for a lot of things," McLachlan said. "We use it for volunteer recruitment, we use it to share news and just community education ... we also use it as a way to sort of engage people ... not only just volunteering but coming up with projects ... we have a belief that it's not just one person, or one group that can help us."
Lighthouse also showcases young people who are doing things in their communities on a portion of its website called "Next Gen."
"It's a new platform on our website ... it's featuring the work and the accomplishments the younger generation (are doing)."
McLachlan stresses that these are not small projects, but huge undertakings. The organization spreads the word through social media websites such as Facebook, and also on the NeighborhoodWorks of America website for their efforts.
"We've spent a lot of time trying to ... understand who our audience is ... we're finding that it is not just our volunteers ... we've been very diligent about ... if a volunteer group walks through the door, we're making sure we are taking pictures (and putting them on social media)."
The Salvation Army of Southeastern Michigan does not struggle with brand recognition across social media platforms, but their goal is to create comprehension.
"I kind of have a mindset of using social media as kind of like awareness," said Jon Aren, e-commerce and brand management for Salvation Army of Southeastern Michigan. "It's one of the biggest nonprofits ... Salvation Army is quite different and most people think thrift stores. It's not just awareness, it's about comprehension."
The organization does not directly ask for monetary donations, but tweets and posts on Facebook to try to make their audience comprehend they are there.
Their individual branch does not target specific demographics, but he sees that the national-level Salvation Army tries to appeal to a younger crowd.
"National has their own budget for social media, we just had Owl City do a big thing called 'Rock the Red Kettle' ... it was almost targeting teenage girls," Aren said.
Aren said he uses program Hootsuite, which can post messages on both Facebook and Twitter at the same time. He said though he sometimes uses this, he finds that the messages are not the same across all platforms.
"I don't feel like Facebook and Twitter content are synonymous," Aren said. "... It's just a little bit of 'do I want to send the same message to both sites?'"
Aren uses Twitter more than Facebook, but he has also tried to get a following on Instagram.
He has found it more difficult to find the audience on the photo sharing service.
"It's pretty tough to grow an audience on ... that gives you a lot of opportunity to be a bit more creative," Aren said.
Ryan Hertz, executive director of South Oakland Shelter, in Lathrup Village, said the organization has tried to use social media as a different form of communication, but they do not replace previous forms.
The shelter uses its Facebook page, which has gained more attention in recent months, to promote volunteerism and events.
"I would say part of it is to appeal to a younger crowd, but people of all ages are online and it's a way to communicate activities in our organizations," Hertz said. "We don't necessarily use it ... to replace other forms of communication, we use it as an additional form of communication."
The Baldwin Center in Pontiac mainly uses Facebook to reach its audience about pressing information, Executive Director Lisa Machesky said.
"Facebook is our primary, we do use Twitter a little bit. We have had a difficult time attracting followers," Machesky said.
The Center does not plan on increasing Twitter use, but there is some interest in beginning to use Pinterest.
Machesky said Pinterest targets the demographic of young people, such as university students, that Baldwin staff wants to maintain relationships with.
Lighthouse is making plans with social media.
"This is the first time that Lighthouse has actually written social media into some of its operational plans," McLachlan said. "I can see where it can really take us, especially as nonprofit."
The hardest thing about social media is teaching older employees how to use it.
"It's my job to bridge the two worlds (of old and young) ... it's a great challenge because I can certainly understand the hesitation ... for those who never used social media."

May 19, 2011 (CIDRAP News) – Two public health advocacy groups this week warned that recent cuts in US preparedness funding could hamstring the nation's response to a health emergency such as a bioterrorism attack, flu pandemic, or natural disaster.
Officials at the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) said cuts apply to fiscal year 2011 funding, which was approved in a continuing resolution passed by Congress in April to keep the government running through the end of September. The impact of the cuts is coming to light now, because federal agencies had a May 13 deadline to provide Congress with an operating plan detailing how they would distribute the cuts.
In a press release yesterday, NACCHO said the budget measures cut $107 million in public health preparedness funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which it said erodes the capacity to protect communities. It said that since September 2001 public health departments have used federal preparedness funding to lead and train people in businesses, schools, hospitals, and senior centers to respond to a range of public health threats. It said regular funding is still needed.
Robert M. Pestronk, NACCHO's executive director, said in the statement that the cuts undermine communities and their local health departments. "Without sustained preparedness funding, continued progress is unreliable, and the risk of being caught off guard increases," he said.
Trust for America's Health (TFAH) in a May 16 press release also warned about the impact of the public health and preparedness cuts. Jeff Levi, executive director of TFAH, said in the statement that the CDC faces an 11% cut from fiscal year 2010 levels.
"In one stroke of the pen, the cuts could erase a decade of advances we've made in preventing diseases and preparing for health emergencies," he said. "These cuts are real, and they have real consequences for the health of Americans."
The group applauded the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for keeping prevention funding largely intact.
Laura Hanen, NACCHO's chief of government and public affairs, told CIDRAP News that her group and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials sent a letter to federal officials when they were working on the budget plans, asking not to cut preparedness. She said the CDC preparedness funding cut represents a 12.7% drop from FY 2010 levels.
Preparedness funding in the CDC budget has been cut every year since FY 2003, Hanen said, and reflects a 29% drop since then Though the cuts raise big concerns at NACCHO, Hanen said the organization knew some cuts were likely and seem to pretty closely match funding levels set out in President Obama's FY 2012 budget.
She said preparedness funding goes to states and four major metropolitan areas, and is then allocated to local health departments. Hanen said it's difficult to generalize the impact that the cuts will have overall, given the differences in jurisdictions. "But some of the smaller local health departments that will be cut to the bone will have a very difficult time," she added.
The cuts will also likely affect academic institutions that have advance practice centers that focus on preparedness tools that have been tried and tested, she said.
In other federal preparedness budget developments, it appears that funding will increase slightly during FY 2011 for the HHS office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), established in 2006 to oversee the nation's preparedness activities and to oversee the development of medical countermeasures against public health threats such as pandemic flu and bioterror agents.
Overall, ASPR receives a nearly $22 million increase. The Biodefense Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) portion of the ASPR budget rises from about $305 million in FY 2010 to $415 million in FY 2011. The HHS said the BARDA share of the budget this year includes funding for BioShield management and pandemic influenza management.

Cane and Austin
1 results
When it comes to skin care, expertise has its advantages. Cane and Austin is the result of 20 years of research into treating both aging and acne. Dr. Austin founded the brand with glycolic acid as its base. This wonder ingredient has the ability to clear the skin, lighten dark spots, smooth wrinkles and promote firmness and elasticity. Cane and Austin offers effective glycolic acid treatment pads that are convenient and easy to use. The pads were developed with everyone in mind. Both men and women will benefit from the treatment pads and all different skin types can also expect to see marked improvements in their skin with regular use. The treatment solution is derived from natural sugar cane as well as other top quality beneficial ingredients that work in conjunction with the glycolic acid to refine and retexturize the skin.
Cane and Austin is dedicated to delivering top quality products that can be used at home. In the past, this type of quality glycolic peel style treatment was only available through doctors. Now everyone can enjoy better looking skin without the trip to the dermatologist.
The dermatological impacts of the aging process and of acne are some of the leading skincare issues both men and women grapple with. The Cane and Austin brand takes aim at both conditions with a revolutionary glycolic-acid-based product that's easy and straightforward to use, even as it offers a comparable approach to many expensive clinical procedures.
The innovative Cane and Austin pads are stocked with pure glycolic acid obtained from sugarcane. They're designed to exfoliate the skin, shedding the layers of dead skin cells that can degrade the complexion as well as plug up pores, encouraging acne breakouts. Cane and Austin products also draw upon such natural texture-boosting ingredients as witch hazel and green tea as well as the acne-fighting properties of salicylic acid, all combined in the brand's Acne Treatment Pads to powerful effect.
In addition to exfoliation, the Cane and Austin formulations help your skin build back its collagen reserves for a revivified complexion, and are also richly hydrating.
The brand's vision stems from decades of investigation into anti-aging and acne approaches by its founder, Dr. Craig Austin. Clinical trials have shown encouraging results, with many patients reporting more luminous, even-toned and textured, and youthful-looking skin within weeks of starting their Cane and Austin applications.
Whether you're seeking some relief from the complexion-shattering effects of pimples and blemishes, or looking to counteract some of the cosmetic advertisements of the aging process, consider the varied products of the Cane and Austin line. They make for an elegantly refined approach to firmer, smoother, more lustrous skin.
After treating patients at his practice for 20 years, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Craig Austin decided to formulate his own lineup of anti-aging skin care products. For the foundations in his collection, Dr. Austin chose all-natural sugar cane, which is rich in glycolic acid. This natural substance dissolves the bonds between dead and living skin cells to exfoliate and resurface the complexion. The importance of sugar cane to the formulations found in his collection even inspired Dr. Austin when naming the lineup, and Cane and Austin Products were born.
All of the Cane and Austin Products contain extremely pure, potent doses of glycolic acid as well as nutrients that help protect the skin from the environmental damage that leads to premature signs of aging. In clinical tests, 87 percent of the study participants that used Cane and Austin Products noticed less wrinkles on their complexion and firmer skin within 28 days.
In the fight against aging, glycolic acid is a powerful ally, resurfacing your complexion through natural exfoliation. The anti-aging Cane and Austin Products were created by a top dermatologist and contain some of the highest concentrations of glycolic acid available on the market today.
The Cane and Austin Acne Treatment Pads use glycolic acid derived from sugar cane to eliminate the dead skin cells that infiltrate the pores and lead to acne breakouts. In addition, the pads contain 2 percent salicylic acid, an ingredient that has long been used to loosen debris from the pores and heal acne. The gentle, yet effective formula found in the pads helps prevent dryness and irritation while clearing the skin, for quick, safe results.
The Cane and Austin Retexturing Treatment Pads are the ultimate exfoliating treatment pads for the face. Formulated to be the perfect pH for maximum, yet safe results, the pads combine glycolic acid with vitamins A, C and E and coenzyme Q10 to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation on your complexion, while preventing new signs of aging from forming.
The Cane and Austin Retexturizing Moisture Cream combines 10 percent glycolic acid with hydrating emollients to replace lost moisture while lifting away dead skin cells from the surface of your complexion. Enriched with green tea extract, the cream delivers a powerful blend of antioxidants with each application and creates a barrier to shield your skin from the oxidizing free radicals that cause wrinkles to form.

A historic labor agreement covering 45,000 transportation security officers has been ratified.
In August, the federal union American Federation of Government Employees and the Transportation Security Administration reached a deal on the first-ever union contract for TSOs, who are responsible for screening people and baggage at the nation's airports.
The final vote was 17,326 to 1,774.
"This agreement will mean better working conditions, fair evaluation practices and safer workplaces, and in doing so, it will improve morale. This is important because low morale leads to unsafe levels of attrition in an agency where a stable, professional workforce of career employees is vital to its national security mission," said J. David Cox, AFGE president, in a statement.
The contract that AFGE and TSA agreed to included increasing the uniform allowance from $232 to $317 per year, as well as providing three pairs of pants and three shirts at no cost.
TSOs will also have more consistency on annual leave bidding and shift trades, according to a release from the union.
The ratification of the contract represents the culmination of 11 years of organizing efforts, AFGE said.
At that time, TSA Administrator John Pistole said the agreement represents a "significant milestone" in the agency's relationship with its employees.
AFGE is the largest federal employee union, representing 650,000 federal employees.

After the economic twists and turns of the RV industry in recent years, Pulliam Enterprises Inc. and its hitch-making division, PullRite, are enjoying a smooth uphill climb.
As reported by the South Bend Tribune, February was the biggest-selling month for the firm since Andrew and Leota Pulliam moved from California and started the company in the late 1970s — until the March sales came in 20% higher.
That's on top of a 20% increase in all of last year, says Ronald Pulliam, their grandson, who works in the company's customer service: "It was our biggest year ever as a company, even better than the high times before the recession."
The growth landed PullRite on the Indiana Economic Development Corp.'s list of Companies to Watch this year. The current success, like the startup more than 30 years ago, is linked to Andrew Pulliam's invention.
He started the company with a new style of under-the-vehicle towing system to replace the ball-on-the-bumper arrangement. Andrew Pulliam was a pipefitter who lived in a trailer because his work was transient and knew the problems firsthand.
"It was safer because it towed like a fifth-wheel tows in feeling and handling," Ronald Pulliam says, explaining that the invention moved the pivot point to reduce dangerous side-to-side sway in older approaches. "That business leveled off because of some of the changes in the marketplace, so we started designing for fifth-wheel trailers as well."

Girl Scouts join fight over bridge named for segregationist
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - Lawmakers can expect face-to-face meetings with Girl Scouts from across Georgia next month at the state Capitol, where the young scouts plan on treating legislators to a milk-and-cookie reception.
These girls bearing gifts of Thin Mints and Samoas will also come packing an agenda. They want to see Savannah's towering suspension bridge renamed in honor of Juliette Gordon Low, who founded the Girl Scouts in the coastal Georgia city more than a century ago.
The Girl Scouts saw an opening last fall when Savannah's city council formally asked state lawmakers during their 2018 session to strip the name of segregationist former Gov. Eugene Talmadge from the bridge. Georgia scouts are getting support from the Girl Scouts' national headquarters in New York, which has hired a lobbyist to help sway lawmakers in Atlanta.

Rep. Ron Stephens, a Republican from Savannah, is on board with the switch. He said he plans to introduce a bill on Feb. 6, when Girl Scout leaders plan to bring as many as 300 scouts to the Capitol.
"I can't think of a name that could go on the bridge at the Savannah River that would mean more," Stephens said of Low, though he's not optimistic fellow lawmakers will agree if that means rescinding an honor bestowed on a former governor. "My opinion is chances of passage are slim to none."
Since 1956, the span crossing the Savannah River at the Georgia-South Carolina line has been named for Talmadge, a populist Democrat who served three terms between 1933 and 1942. Talmadge railed against the New Deal for offering blacks hope of economic parity with whites. He defended whites-only primary elections in Georgia. And he once proclaimed a black man's place was "at the back door with his hat in his hand."
In September, Savannah's city council unanimously called on the legislature to take Talmadge's name off the bridge. Mayor Eddie DeLoach sought the change following the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, as white supremacists rallied to protect Confederate statues. DeLoach said Savannah's bridge should "no longer be named for a man who divided us."
By law, only Georgia lawmakers can name or rename state roads and bridges. Girl Scouts leaders say it's an ideal chance to honor Low, who insisted Girl Scouts have a place for all girls regardless of race, religion or disabilities.
"All her life, Juliette sought to bring people together to solve problems and make the world a better place," Girl Scouts CEO Sylvia Acevedo told The Associated Press by email. "And I can't think of a better symbol to her legacy than a bridge that connects people to others."
Low recruited the first troop of Girl Scouts over tea at her Savannah home in March 1912. In their first year, the girls learned to cook and care for babies. But Low also taught them how to shoot rifles and tie up burglars.
While Low began with only 18 Girl Scouts, 1.8 million are enrolled today. Acevedo said scouts from across the U.S. attending an October convention embraced their Savannah colleagues' cause. Roughly 10,000 Girl Scouts and alumnae have signed a petition asking lawmakers to rename the bridge for Low.
In December, Acevedo joined the leaders of Georgia's two Girl Scout councils at the state Capitol in Atlanta to meet with Gov. Nathan Deal. While the meeting focused on boosting girls' interest in science and math, the Girl Scout leaders also told the governor they want Low's name on the bridge.
"I don't know that he ever came out and said, 'I'm supportive of this,'" said Sue Else, chief executive of the Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia, who attended the meeting with Deal. "But he's been very supportive of Girl Scouts in general."
Meanwhile, Girl Scouts national leaders hired Savannah lobbyist Amy Hughes for the legislative session that began last week. Hughes was hired specifically to lobby lawmakers on the bridge issue, said Alice Hockenbury, the Girl Scouts' vice president for advocacy in Washington.
Stephens doubts fellow lawmakers will take action. A prior attempt to strip Talmadge's name from the bridge fell flat in 2013. He said it could be tougher this year, as the Republican-controlled legislature tries to avoid election-year backlash from GOP voters amid controversies over Confederate statues and memorials.
"As far as I can tell, just by the conversations I've had with people, they're going to run from anything that's extremely controversial," Stephens said.

I looked and cant find any posts of people with a 2013 with any bars lost. Is this data posted anywhere?? Search does not turn up anything.
I am having a hard time deciding between a 2013 or a 2015 based on the current wholesale price vs deals on the 15's.
To me it seems Nissan made the 13's battery better (How much I dont know) than the 11//12's, but is it as good as the Lizards (15's). It sounds like the 15's have been holding up really well... but are still a little young.
I'm just afraid Nissan did a quick fix on the 13/14's to keep them from getting free warranty replacements... which makes a 15 look even better.....
Scratching my head.... I need data

I had just come home from dance practice—tired, hungry, and in desperate need of a long, hot bath—when I decided to log in to Facebook really quick. Scrolling through my news feed I saw, "Alice and eight others watched a video"… "Marco and 10 others mentioned 'Kony 2012' in their status." Some of my friends had commented, "I know it's long, but just watch it." Though I was exhausted, I knew I had to click on the link and see for myself what all the fuss was about.
I was about to witness a phenomenon. Within days, the half-hour "Kony 2012" video had been viewed more than 100 million times worldwide—making it the most viral video ever, according to Visible Measures, a social video analytics company. But almost as quickly as it gained a sympathetic audience, "Kony 2012" drew criticism. In part, people questioned the motives of the specific organization behind this particular video. However, reaction to the video also highlighted an interesting question: How effective is social media as a tool for activism?
"Kony 2012" was produced by a nonprofit called Invisible Children, and explains the evil deeds of a Ugandan warlord named Joseph Kony. Since the 1980s Kony, who presents himself as a leader chosen by God, has headed a vicious group called the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). The LRA's original purpose was supposedly to defend a group of people being oppressed by the Ugandan government, and install Kony as the political and religious leader of Uganda. But over the years it has moved into neighboring countries and committed massacres around the region.
Young people especially drove the video's popularity, just as Invisible Children intended. They responded to "Kony 2012" by spreading the word on Facebook and Twitter. I was one of the young people deeply affected by it. I watched as a child abductee named Jacob Acaye spoke about witnessing his brother being slaughtered. Listening to his fragile voice crack made me crack on the inside. The screen went blurry for a moment, and then a neat row of tears conducted its way down my cheek.
I was appalled. There I was, in a warm apartment with a bed and plenty of food and clothes, while children in Uganda were terrorized by this evil man. I couldn't help but feel guilty. The video's narrator, Invisible Children co-founder Jason Russell, made it seem that every human being was obligated to help and until I did something, I would be partly responsible for these children's suffering.
I shared the video on my Facebook page and wrote, "What are you waiting for? Share!" as my caption. I was sending text messages to all of my friends saying that they must go on my Facebook page and watch this video, then pass along the word.
Within days, however, the apparent integrity of Russell and Invisible Children dissolved into thin air. Many people criticized "Kony 2012" for, among other things, presenting outdated information: Kony's forces are weaker than the video indicates—they now only number in the hundreds—and they have moved to other border regions from northern Uganda. Critics also said the video included too few voices of actual Ugandans, and put too much emphasis on bringing money to Invisible Children for "raising awareness," rather than helping Kony's victims directly. Meanwhile, Russell himself was found in San Diego engaging in bizarre behavior that made people question his mental stability.
It was hard for my friends and me not to feel that we had been manipulated. In some ways, social media has made it possible for one person to have more of an impact than ever before, at least in cases where a person uses social media tools strategically and has some support.
Jason Russell had the help of his organization (Invisible Children has a team of more than 100 people), and the video they made together had a carefully-orchestrated release. Invisible Children targeted celebrities such as Zooey Deschanel and Rihanna, asking them to share, tweet, or repost the video. Their millions of (mostly young) followers in turn watched, tweeted, and reposted the video, and word spread like wildfire.
But some people are skeptical about the value of Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail as tools for activism. And when the credibility of "Kony 2012" was called into question, it felt as though the video may have proved those naysayers right. In a story entitled "Small Change: Why the Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted," published in The New Yorker in 2010, writer Malcolm Gladwell argued that social networking is not a significant tool for activism.
Any really important movement to make change in the world, wrote Gladwell, requires participants who have a close bond with one another. They must be so close that they will feel encouraged to face physical danger. When you're surrounded by people you know will have your back it's easier to be strong. But social media's strength is connecting you with a looser circle of not-as-close friends. Therefore, wrote Gladwell, it doesn't help you do truly difficult things in the world—it just lets you hold hands with a couple of acquaintances while clicking on a button to sign a petition.
As an example of truly courageous activism, Gladwell writes about the Civil Rights movement and how four college students in Greensboro, North Carolina, bravely began a protest by refusing to leave a segregated Woolworth's lunch counter in 1960. By the end of the month, there were sit-ins throughout the South, as far west as Texas. The Civil Rights movement gained huge support without e-mail, texting, Facebook, or Twitter.
At the same time, it's interesting that the recent shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin—which some people have compared to cases of injustice that inspired the Civil Rights movement—is a good example of social media making a big difference. According to USA Today, "Social media catapulted details of the Trayvon Martin case onto the national stage, as outraged Americans used Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and the website change.org to get the word out about the incident in which a neighborhood watch volunteer shot and killed Trayvon, an unarmed African-American teen."
In this instance, it may be that "raising awareness" was enough of a goal. Social media was used to organize mass protests and demonstrations like the "Million Hoodie March" here in New York City. The protests had one major, straightforward intention: to expose the small-town politics that may have protected the shooter from being properly investigated, and ultimately bring about a full investigation.
However, the aims of "Kony 2012" are less clear. One stated goal was to see Kony arrested by the end of 2012, hence the video's name. The video also encouraged viewers to pay Invisible Children $30 for a bracelet and "action kit," and to gather together to blanket cities with posters about Kony on the night of April 20.
But when you have a complicated political situation involving several independent countries, getting people riled up may not address the issue. Though most of us can agree Kony is an awful criminal, there is a lot of disagreement about what should be done about him, and even whose responsibility it should be to bring him to justice.
It's probably wrong to suggest that online activism and real-world activism represent an either/or choice. Instead, in most cases, the two things can complement each other.
Dave Boyce is the CEO of Fundly, a platform for online fundraising that incorporates social networking features. Since Fundly's purpose is to make donating to nonprofits "fun, friendly, and social" online, I thought Boyce would have something to say about how social networking can help further a cause. Boyce agreed that online activism isn't a replacement for real-world action.
"The dialogue can be richer online, because we have time and place to read and think and share, versus a possibly emotionally heated protest or demonstration where dialogue can't happen because it's too noisy or too kinetic [full of energy]," Boyce offered. "That said, there's a time and place for peaceful assembly, and each of those methods has its own role."
Some people have argued that online activism doesn't have much impact, and can lull petition-signers into thinking they have made more of a difference than they really have. But Boyce sees it differently. "I believe that we should meet people where they are," he said. "If where they are is just being willing to subscribe to some information or put their name on a petition, that's fine. If over time we can provide compelling information about the cause, maybe that same person will become willing to advocate, or donate, or volunteer." If we're not willing to meet them where they are, he added, they may never get involved.
"Kony 2012" certainly met viewers where they were, and that's why it was so successful. The very personal angle Russell gave the video helped draw young people in. He spoke about his own experiences in Uganda and how he became interested in bringing Joseph Kony to justice. The result was a video that screamed, "Hey, now that you know about this, you can help make a change!"
That's one big value of social media—it gives you a message loud and clear. If I were to design a "perfect" social media campaign, I would try to equal the emotional impact of "Kony 2012," as well as its urgency. However, though I would promote the campaign online, I would center the campaign around practical action in the real world, like mass protests, boycotts, contacting legislators, and other high-impact activities.
Unfortunately, it's possible that after "Kony 2012," it would be harder for me to win people's attention and sympathy with a worthy social media campaign. After hearing criticisms of Invisible Children, and then learning about Russell's outburst, my friends made comments on Facebook like, "I can't believe that this is the voice of the Invisible Children, this guy is crazy" and, "I can't believe I wasted my time on this." Next time a video comes along asking them to join a cause, they are likely to be automatically skeptical.
It's a shame, because Invisible Children so effectively captured the world's attention, but its moment passed quickly. Following the "Kony 2012" backlash, Invisible Children released a video called "Kony 2012: Part II—Beyond Famous." This follow-up was intended to address the criticisms made about the first video, and highlight progress Invisible Children has made toward its goals.
But according to mashable.com, during its first five days, "Part II" received less than 2% of the views that "Kony 2012" received right after its debut. And the huge "Cover the Night" event planned for April 20 was mostly a flop. "Kony is so last month," said one tweet reported in the Guardian. This shows that you have to be careful when harnessing the power of social media to spread a message: At best, you will get one chance to make your case for the world to hear, so it had better be good.
Maybe the lightning-fast rise and fall of "Kony 2012" does support Gladwell's argument, at least partly. When it's so easy to join a cause, it's also easy to drop it—nothing is risked and nothing is sacrificed.
But whether it happens online or on the street, activism of any kind originates in people's morality and humanity. "Kony 2012" demonstrated how effectively technology can trigger human empathy on a stunning scale. If we can translate that kind of empathy into lasting, active commitment, we really can make a change.

The man arrested after allegedly sneaking aboard a New York-to-Los Angeles flight has been involved in several businesses in Chicago that offer Internet marketing for church ministries.
Public records list Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi's home address as in Willowbrook. That address is also listed on the website of Unleash Media, a company that bills itself as a marketing firm for "world-leading ministries" and lists Noibi as a "media artist and consultant."
"Unleash Media enables ministries of all sizes and varieties (to) develop successful branding strategies," the website says. "This may involve short films, promos, music videos, revitalizing identities or new identity design."
The Willowbrook address is also listed in Illinois Secretary of State records for Dyvintel, whose website describes the firm as an information technology consulting company.
Noibi has acknowledged sneaking aboard a Virgin America flight in New York on June 24, officials have told the Los Angeles Times. The flight crew discovered Noibi midway through the flight, which landed in Los Angeles in the early morning hours of June 25. He was questioned but not taken into custody or arrested.
A few days later, on Tuesday, Noibi returned to Los Angeles International Airport, where he was again able to get past security without a valid boarding pass. He spent the night at the airport and, when he tried to board a Delta flight to Atlanta, he was stopped at the gate after an airline employee told him he could not board the plane.
A day after his arrest, details have emerged via social media sites and court records of Noibi's life in America, including a 2008 arrest in Chicago for allegedly stiffing a Metra conductor on a fare.
Records show that Noibi got on a Chicago-bound Metra train in Lockport on Jan. 3, 2008 and refused to pay a $4.70 fare when asked several times by the conductor. He was arrested when the train reached Union Station and was charged with misdemeanor theft. The charge was dropped about six months later, according to court records.
The report lists Noibi as a University of Michigan student and his birthplace as Iowa. It indicates he had an Illinois driver's license, a U.S. passport and a social security number.
A LinkedIn page for "Olajide O. Noibi" lists him as an undergraduate research fellow at the University of Michigan, an intern at Dyvintel and president, CEO and co-founder of Crystal Hills, Inc.
Noibi's roles with the firms could not immediately be confirmed, and calls to Unleash Media and another number at the Willowbrook address were not answered.
A man who answered the door at a home in the 100 block of Meadow Court said he did not know who Noibi was and declined to comment.
Neighbors, however, said they recognized Noibi's picture but hadn't heard the news of his arrest in Los Angeles. They said he is a member of a large family from Nigeria that lives on the block.
Neighbor Andrea Cisek said the head of the family is a pastor at a church. On Sundays, the family's front yard is overrun with children after church services, she said.
"The kids would come out and play in the yard over there, all dressed up in their Sunday best," Cisek said. "Overall, they are a nice family."
Cisek said she believes the family runs an Internet business.
Kristi Rager, of Romeoville, lives at the former residence of Noibi in that suburb. She said that roughly one year ago Homeland Security officials came to her door looking for Noibi, though he hasn't lived there for at least 4 years.
Records tie Noibi to the same Willowbrook address as Rager's current landlord.
Federal authorities told the Los Angeles Times they suspect that the Virgin America flight to Los Angeles last week was not the first time Noibi has flown for free.
The FBI agent who took him into custody said in an affidavit that a search of Noibi's bag found at least 10 different boarding passes – none were in his name. It was unclear whether those passes were with him when he was initially interviewed after he landed in Los Angeles.
Federal authorities also told the L.A. Times that Noibi got on the New York-to-Los Angeles flight with only an identification card from the University of Michigan. Federal rules indicate that a university ID alone should not be enough to board a flight.
A spokesperson at the university said Noibi is not a current student. He did attend from 2004 to 2006.
Andrew L. Wang is a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, Andrew Blankstein is a reporter for the Los Angeles Times. Tribune reporter Brian Slodysko contributed.

Members of the Latino community in Alabama closed their businesses and stayed away from work and school Wednesday to make a point about their contribution to Alabama's economy. A closer look reveals it is a significant contribution, regardless of legal status.
Alabama's unduly restrictive new illegal immigration law has prompted a backlash from many in the state's Latino community, who rightly contend they are an important part of the state's economy.
Latino-owned businesses closed their doors Wednesday, and many Latino workers and students stayed home in a show of solidarity against what is considered the nation's strictest immigration law.
A three-judge federal panel temporarily blocked enforcement of parts of the law Friday, but most of the objectionable portions of the law that give police sweeping powers to detain people suspected of being in
Alabama illegally were left intact. The court will review the law in the coming months.
So, what of Latinos' claims that their businesses and labor are an important part of the state's economy?
A survey of information compiled by the Immigration Policy Center bears out their arguments. For example, unauthorized immigrants in Alabama paid $130.3 million in state and local taxes in 2010.
A breakdown of that number is:
•unauthorized immigrants paid $25.8 million in Alabama income taxes in 2010.
•unauthorized immigrants paid $5.8 million in Alabama property taxes.
•unauthorized immigrants paid $98.7 million in Alabama sales taxes.
Statistics compiled by the Pew Hispanic Center showed that unauthorized immigrants make up approximately 4.2 percent of the state's workforce with 95,000 workers in 2010.
Most Latino business owners are legal residents, but many of them entered the country illegally years ago looking for work.
The new law is draining farms of their seasonal labor, and some farmers have said they will lose money this year because they can't get all their crops out of the ground.
There's a very human side to this story, as well.
Many undocumented immigrants' children were born in the United States, which makes their children citizens. If the parents leave Alabama with their children and return to their native countries, then their children will be undocumented immigrants in their parents' country.
The lawmakers who backed this law argue that the undocumented immigrants are robbing citizens of jobs. Maybe, or maybe not. Many of the jobs immigrants take are low-wage, labor intensive jobs that aren't easy for employers to fill. The long-term effects of the law — if the courts don't strike it down — remain to be seen.
Immigration policy is a matter for the federal government, and a law that makes sense is enforceable should drive the debate. READ MORE

S.A. council passes nonbias ordinance
An issue that starkly divided San Antonio this summer was resolved Thursday when the City Council approved an ordinance that adds protections for sexual orientation, gender identity and veteran status to the city code.
In four separate public forums since mid-August, more than 1,500 people approached the dais at City Hall and addressed the council, speaking passionately in support of and against the ordinance that drew national attention. Final public comments were heard about three hours before the council took its vote.
In separate votes, the council approved adding veteran status 9-2, and approved adding LGBT protections 8-3.
"It's a common-sense ordinance that's going to treat everyone equally," Mayor Julián Castro said after the vote. "Nobody will be a second-class citizen in San Antonio. Here, there will be basic fairness and common decency for everybody."
When it was over, red-clad supporters of the policy walked victoriously out of the council chambers, waving rainbow flags. They spilled into Main Plaza shouting mantras of equality and justice.
And opponents, dressed in blue, left quietly in defeat, vowing to fight the ordinance in the courts and to unseat or recall elected leaders for ignoring their pleas to table or spike the measure altogether.
Proponents of the measure viewed the issue as part of this nation's continuing struggle for human rights. Opponents argued the ordinance tramples on their First Amendment rights to free speech and religious liberty.
Council members implored the fractured citizenry to begin the healing process.
Councilman Rey Saldaña told opponents they could choose to "be filled with bitterness or with hatred" or "decide to move toward the direction of compassion and understanding."
"This city is important and it's special because of its diversity, its diversity of opinions, diversity of people, and its richness and its love for every San Antonian, and that love is not exclusive — it is inclusive," he said.
Councilwoman Ivy Taylor, who voted against the LGBT protections, acknowledged that opponents had voiced "contempt and disdain" for the LGBT community and that some of their remarks made her "cringe."
She said she was frustrated that proponents would "paint anyone with religious objections as bigots hiding behind religion."
The often mild-mannered East Side council member said she'd hoped to vote for the measure but couldn't overcome concerns that it would stifle individual religious freedoms.
"I really wanted to be able to vote yes on this ordinance because I wanted to be able to affirm that all citizens deserve protection under the law, which I do believe," Taylor said. "I know that people will say that I'm an ignorant bigot, or that I gave in to fear and prejudice, but I know my heart. I am not a coward. I am not a bigot. And I am not ignorant."
Prefacing his vote, Councilman Diego Bernal, who introduced the measure, offered personal insight into his own personal evolution from homophobia to advocacy for the LGBT community.
For months he spearheaded efforts to pass the measure, meeting with dozens of religious and civic leaders who opposed the updates as "reverse discrimination."
As a teenager, Bernal said he was a homophobic athlete. Then a friend at Jefferson High School revealed that he was gay.
Bernal said since then he has befriended many others in the LGBT community during college, law school and beyond. As a civil rights attorney, he worked on cases involving hate crimes.
"All these people — all of them — have given me personal examples of discrimination. I am not saying it's rampant," he said. "I am not saying our city is overcome by it, but my responsibility as an elected person is to take what might be 10 and get it to nine or eight or seven — as much as I can. And that is the spirit in which this is done."
During the course of public testimony, many speakers said the opposite, citing scripture as evidence of what they consider immoral acts.
Councilwoman Elisa Chan, whose secretly recorded May 21 staff meeting on the issue thrust the debate into the national spotlight, has alternatively become a pariah and a heroine.
Last week, when the council met to discuss the proposal, she was greeted by a standing ovation. Later, ordinance supporters chastised her for disparaging remarks she made in the secret recording about the LGBT community.
In it, Chan called gays "disgusting" and said they shouldn't be allowed to adopt children. On Thursday, Chan expressed disappointment in the process.
"Over the course of this debate, tolerance has separated itself from understanding and has become a dictate to agree. I have not heard a single person who said he or she agrees to any form of discrimination," Chan said. "Just because I disagree with the lifestyle choices of the LGBT community doesn't mean that I dislike them."
Councilman Carlton Soules sided with her, also casting dissenting votes in both measures. He chastised his colleagues for supporting the measure even before the council met to discuss the ordinance and for not taking a more critical approach.
Soules and Chan surprised no one with their votes against the LGBT protections, but they hadn't signaled they would dissent on the veteran status issue. Bernal agreed to split the measure into two votes for two reasons. One was to give council members who opposed the measure something they could vote for.
Councilman Ray Lopez explained the second reason: he and others didn't want to be accused of using veterans to leverage the vote.
Lopez said he was hurt his personal Catholic faith was questioned. In supporting the measure, Lopez echoed Pope Francis's position on gay priests.
"Who am I to judge? I keep coming back to that," Lopez said. "It gives me a solid personal position. I will be able to sleep tonight."

"My roommate's melon is huge. He's got this giant, blue, custom-made football helmet that was like $600. It's true. The helmet was so abnormal that they didn't offer returns so when he tore his MCL he was basically screwed because no one wanted to buy it – even on craigslist. Now it's just sitting in his closet. We could just put a giant orange "C" on the side – it's perfect."
How big are we talking? We measured the circumference to be slightly over four feet, which is the likely the largest this side – if not both sides – of the Mississippi."
"I don't know but I'm telling you it's enormous. He was once offered a job traveling with this freak show. They wanted to shave his head, dress him up like a supervillain and call him "The Brainiac." His booth was going to be right next to this bodybuilder guy called the "The Veiniac," a dude with hundreds of purple earthworm veins popping out all over his body. The only reason he didn't do it was because they didn't have a website and his dad told him never to trust a company without a website, which I kind of agree with."
"Whatever you! Google Image Search "Veiniac" or "King of Veins" and you'll get like a hundred results. They've got his arms next to Stallone's and Maddonna's in a few pictures too – puts 'em both to shame. And he's got a blog.
"Oh yeah, what's the URL?"
"Imsovein.com. You know, spelled V-E-I-N."
"I get it. But if we're really going to make a Cutler Bear/Pig Halloween costume we need a dang Cutler jersey. Even though he sucks and is douchey, they're still pretty expensive."
"We could always revisit Sloth Pig. I figure since Scuttlebutt already has that yellow tuft of hair we could just throw on a cheap Superman tee from Walmart, sweatpants, some red suspenders and we're good to go."
"Yeah, but the Superman "S" emblem is on the chest so it'd be facing the ground. People might not get that it's Sloth unless you put the shirt on backwards but that'd just be stupid. I really think we should reconsider Cutler Bear/Pig. I know I can get that helmet."
"You put a helmet on this pig and he's gonna go nuts. Remember when we put a Santa hat on him for Christmas and he would not stop running around, squealing like someone was branding him with a hot poker. He stopped eating for a week and has since become incredibly skiddish about being touched on the head. And that was just with a Santa hat."
"What kind of hat was it?"
"Santa, you idiot. I just said that."
"No, I mean what material – you know, fabric? Yarn, cotton, velvet?"
"Dude, I don't know. Cotton, I think."
"You should've gone with hemp. Recent developments in the way they process it make it incredibly light and soft. I've got some hemp underwear and half the time it feels like I'm going commando – they're that comfortable."
"Just how much of a pothead are you nowadays? You're always incorporating your hemp propaganda into everything, no matter how far it seemingly is from the realm of conversation."
"That's because it's everywhere! There's hemp paper, plastics, clothes, ah….food, fuel….ah….construction materials. Hemp seed can even be used as fishing bait! And it all comes from a single plant!"
"Whatever, you've changed. That's what mom and dad get for sending you to the University of Boulder."
"This coming from a temp! A freaking temp!"
"Least I got a job."
"Fine. Cutler Bear/Pig."

You're back, baby! I smiled the whole way through. Also, on a head size related note; Matt Doherty played William "Heed" MacKenzie in "So I Married an Axe Murderer" a role with no speaking lines but major head related humor. Doherty also played Lester Averman in "The Mighty Ducks," a character that could not stop talking. That role required no head size humor.ReplyDelete
Yes, Buck. We're still here. Thanks for stopping by - glad you liked the post.ReplyDelete
Your memory of large heads in film is quite remarkable. I believe we would have much to talk about.

Modern business cards are a big deal.
If you've landed on this page, chances are you already know this. With the right colors you can attract attention and make a statement; use a soft or rough texture to make an impact; experiment with shape to create a unique design that will certainly do the trick!
Making your business card pop out of the twenty-five others in your potential client's cardholder takes a bit of creative thinking on your part. In a blink of an eye, they should know who you are, and remember who you are.
SEE ALSO: How you can create your own cursive lettering
With a world of design possibilities to explore, we've put together a list of 60 modern business cards that will inspire you, and wow your clients. And we've sprinkled some Freelancer graphic design magic in there too!
So, without further ado let's get right into it...
01. Classic With a Twist
Saved from: Pinterest
Crisp, clean, and not straying from the classic, no-nonsense business cards; a modern business card like this simply tells you like it is. It has your name and contact details, but it's the small changes that make a big difference. A glossy embossed name on a matte black finish, and the subtext engraved makes it a card that's calm and quiet, but definitely hard to miss. Pair it with classic fonts, and you'll have a set of modern buisness cards that are destined for greater things.
02. Add a Splash of Color
Saved from: Freelancer
Ditch the cream cards and boring text, and opt for something more exciting. Making your card colorful doesn't mean you have to sacrifice a clean look. Use a sleek font face for a clean design, and make the entire back a single color.
03. ...or a Hint of Neon
Saved from: Freelancer
Cards can't shout out your name, so let the color do it for you. A bright neon color can give off an energetic vibe, showing that you and your business are enthusiastic about the job you do. It can be paired with a clean design and geometric patterns for a sleek, professional feel.
04. One of a Kind Typography
Saved from: Freelancer
Everyone else can download a new font, but you can have your own custom typography. Splash your business name on the front side with a fun and funky logotype that's made especially for you and your brand. You can make a logotype that forms the shape of something you represent, or choose a custom calligraphy piece and wow them with flourishes. Having a one of a kind piece on your business card helps them remember that you're a one of a kind business.
05. Think Outside of The Box
Saved from: Behance
Give your card some shape. And don't use a business card in a rectangle. Why box yourself into one form when you can choose any other? Use the shape of a flag, a fish, a bow-tie, or any form that captures what you do. Better than printing logos or graphics representing what it is you do, just hand them a card that lets them hold it in their hands.
06. Make it Eco-friendly
Saved from: Freelancer
Want to save the world and make money at the same time? Make your business cards with recycled paper. It gives your card a textured feel, and makes it stand out like none other. Even with using simple text and barely any design, just the feel of and eco-friendly card material already makes you and your client feel good about booking your services.
Eco-friendly cards can also be made of other easily biodegradable materials like cogongrass, okra fibres, used cork, or ground bamboo. You can really spruce up your branding with these eco-friendly modern business cards.
07. Be Transparent About Your Brand (Literally)
Saved from: Freelancer
Nothing sends a crystal clear message than a crystal clear card. A sleek and clean transparent card showcases a minimalist style that doesn't have to be boring. It can stay in a rectangular shape, and make any design element pixel-perfect. For an added "pop," add some creative print to make it a truly one of a kind modern business card.
08. Keep it Crisp With a Minimalist Design
Saved from: Freelancer
When there's really nothing else to say about your business, don't speak. Less is more with a minimalist design. And for a card, putting less helps your potential client grasp the idea much faster. Clean cut and with no fuss, your card will exude confidence and style.
09. Turn it Sideways
Saved from: Freelancer
Turn their world upside-down, and give them a card that breaks the rules. A portrait card doesn't only work weird wonders, but it also helps when you have a larger logotype. It allows you to really keep it large and visible, without making it feel like it's cramped for space. It's also a fantastic way to apply design techniques similar to editorial design.
10. Give it a Crazy Pattern
Saved from: Freelancer
Saveed from: Freelancer
Patterned cards are like their own little parties. They're wild and imaginative, and definitely hard to miss. Have a crazy pattern that suits your tastes - a cartoon pattern for a kids' party planner, or a skull pattern for a tattoo artist. Catch their attention with color, but draw them back in with a coherent logo. Keep the back clean and easy to read for quick contacting, but tie the card together with a hint of the pattern still visible.
11. Get Interactive
Saved from: Pinterest
What better way of letting them know your business than to let them see it in action?
Help your client visualize the results they will receive with your services, with a card that shows them. Interactive business cards gives your client a bit of audience participation. It not only makes your business card fun and easily memorable, but effectively sends the message across. Whether you want to help grow their business, or grow their food, an interactive and modern business card shows you're more than just talk.
12. Have a Well-rounded Brand
Saved from: DeviantArt
Why stick to rectangles when you could do so much better? Round business cards can have a clean and professional design, but sport a truly different shape that just makes this little rebel easily anybody's favourite card. Bonus points if the front face shows a graphic of what your business does. Use the round shape to your advantage, as it frames a graphic in a unique way that corners can never give you.
13. Stamp it on!
Saved from: KeiraBui
Everyone else can print their cards, but a custom-made stamped card makes a world of difference. The texture of the ink is easily the first visible difference. But it also gives a rustic feeling, and is what really makes these types of modern business cards unique.
14. Rounded Corners
Saved from: Freelancer
Saved from: Freelancer
Cut corners on your card but not on your design. Rounded corners help frame your card differently from others. Hard corners are a classic, but rounding them off keeps your design focused and whole. Instead of a hard corner leading the eyes elsewhere, they're more likely to keep their gaze centered on the information you're presenting.
15. Switch Materials
Saved from: CardObserver
If paper came from wood, then you might as well go straight to the source. Change the texture and feel of your card with the kind of material you choose. Go for wood for a crafty feel, or choose acrylic, leather, felt, suede, metal or anything that feels nice to the touch. These modern business cards often make you memorable visually, but add an extra sensory experience with your card.
16. Keep it Social With a QR Code
Saved from: Freelancer
Say hello on every platform possible. QR codes, like barcodes, keep information densely compact in a single piece of graphic. A scanner can read and unscramble that information. With a QR code on your card, you can help your client reach you on any platform. Why write down multiple websites and social media accounts on your card, when you can lead them straight to it with a touch of a smartphone?
17. 3D Embossed
Saved from: Designer Daily
Let your brand come alive with a card so realistic, it's ready to come off the pages. A 3D embossed card adds texture and life to your card, brings focus on your brand's most significant graphic, and ultimately makes your business card a unique (and tactile) experience to hold.
18. Give it a Human Touch
Saved from: Cardezine
Unless you have twins, nothing would be more unique than your own face. Put it on there and let the world remember you exactly for who you are. If it isn't just you in your business, there are still other ways to put people on your card. Adding a happy face of a child in the last birthday party you organized, or the faces from the community whose houses you helped build can give your card a sense of humanity. It makes you and your brand relatable, and helps your potential client visualize themselves working with you.
19. Splash on Watercolors
Saved from: Pinterest
Watercolor helps give your cards a splash of something new, but still manages to keep it classy. Like a transient wave, floating clouds, or the aurora borealis, cards like these are just calming and beautiful to look at. If you've been meaning to give your card a bit of color but don't want to stray too far, then this might do the trick. Hand painted cards also mean they're different from one another, so every potential client gets a new card each time.
20. Leave a Bit of Yourself Behind
Saved from: UnderConsideration
Like maybe, your hand. You don't need to chop off an arm and a leg for this business card. Keep it quirky and unique with a part of you. Whether it's the shirt off your back or your glass slipper, leave it behind and let your client hold on to it.
21. Think Functional
Saved from: Flickr
Business cards can be pretty, but at the end of the day, most of them are just prints on a card. Take your business card a step further and make them useful. If you're running a tech company, give out USB cards. Do you have a cleaning service? Door tags may just do the trick. Whatever it is, functional and modern business cards allows your client to see and remember what it is that you do. It also makes sure they won't just throw your card away, along with the others.
22. Be There, And Be Square
Saved from: Behance
There's a reason why Instagram was so adamant about keeping every photo in a square frame for how many years. That reason being, that squares are just so clean to look at. Equal sides and hard corners keep your graphics centered. If you might not want to stray too far away from classic rectangular cards just yet, then square cards are a great first step.
23. Make it Metallic
Saved from: Freelancer
Give your card a little extra shine with a metallic finish. If you want a card that stands out, but stays classy, a metallic card might just do you some good. Metallic cards give a feeling of decadence and premium quality services. When a potential client sees your card, and sees the stunning shine of your business card, they'll definitely think that your business is worth their time and money.
24. Show Them Your Artistic Side
Saved from: Pinterest
An intricately designed card not only makes your card special and unique, but also shows how creative your brand is. Your clients will love looking at each individual work of art, and will be sure to keep it for the next time they'll call to book your services.
25. Make it Fun And Informal
Saved from: From up North
Give your clients a good laugh. Fun cards that go outside the box are easily memorable, and they're a treat to keep. They're unexpected and they stray leagues away from a traditional business card. They'll definitely remember you for your card!
26. Get Monogrammed
Saved from: The Design Inspiration
Monograms are a classic element. They're a simple representation of you and your brand. They're clean and crisp, and very often easier to remember than a logo. This works especially well if you're offering your services alone, rather than in a team or a company. Keep your initials front and center, and you'll definitely be easier to remember.
27. Go Mobile
Saved from: Freelancer
People typically forego business cards because they can keep phone numbers on their phones. But phone numbers on a list just get drowned out with the rest. Hand out cards that look like mobile phones instead, and show them how beautiful your contact details would look if they saved them on their phones, right now. Let them know that you're keeping up with the times with this fun and tech-savvy design.
28. Ace it With Playing Cards
Saved from: Freelancer
When we say cards, the first thing that comes to mind would definitely be a deck you play with. Whether you're working alone or as a pair, put yourselves on a card to easily show them that you're the king of your game.
29. Gild Them in Gold
Saved from: Freelancer
Whether you're dipping them in gold, or giving an intricate design a detailed emboss, foiled cards are fantastic for bringing class and sass to your designs. A card doesn't have to be entirely metallic, but a bit of sheen here and there gives it a truly rich feel.
30. Try Out Colored Edges
Saved from: CardObserver
A card like this is deceptively stunning. It seems simple enough, but turning it to the side reveals a bit of unexpected fun. It might be exactly what you want to show: you're professional, but not boring. Rim the sides with color, and show them that you're business up front, and party on the side.
31. Keep it Clever With Playful Graphics
Saved from: Freelancer
Give them stunning and modern business cards that remind them on first glance what it is you're about. Clever and playful graphics give your potential clients a quick visual representation of who you are and what you do, not to mention making your brand memorable.
32. Stick on a Sticker
Saved from: Pinterest
Stickers are easy to print, and can easily please a crowd. An unusually brilliant idea, take your stickers with you to place on anything, anywhere. Your client can stick them onto their planners and notebooks, or you can stick them onto samples of your product to hand out. It's an easy solution for a memorable card.
33. Minimize Your Style
Saved from: Freelancer
People often just take a quick glance at business cards and never give them a second look. Make sure your business card receives the attention it deserves. Make it half the size of a traditional card, and spice up the "business card exchange". Your clients are sure to give such a unique card a decent look. Keep it direct, and to the point with a short and sweet message, and you'll have a set of modern business cards that nobody can forget.
34. Cut it Out!
Saved from: Freelancer
They say that less is more. But in this case, nothing is definitely everything. Blank spaces and cut outs make interesting visual materials that bring shape and life to your design by subtracting, rather than adding on more.
35. Surprise Them With Pop-up Cards
Saved from: Pinterest
Compact when folded, a pop up card is a pleasantly entertaining surprise. Pop-up cards shouldn't be restricted to greetings. Use them on your modern business cards to give a delightful 3D twist to an otherwise simple card.
36. Hand Them a Ticket
Saved from: Pinterest
People often keep tickets to films they've seen, plays they've attended, or even plane rides they've taken to different parts of the world. If you want a modern business card that people are sure to keep, this may just be the ticket. Ticket cards are creative, and strike a sentimental and nostalgic chord with your clients.
37. Send Them Letters
Saved from: Pinterest
If you need to spell out your name for them, do it. Letter shaped business cards are a step above monograms. If a monogram is your name on a card, then why not have your name as a card? It makes perfect sense, and makes for a great conversation starter.
38. Make it a Mystery
Saved from: Clever Business Cards
Instead of loudly proclaiming your identity, add a bit of intrigue to your modern business cards. Keep hidden messages by writing with lemon juice, or using white wax on white card. Engrave your details, and hand them a piece of charcoal to read it. Make the "business card exchange" a fun and exciting experience. Once they've figured out the mystery, they'll surely never forget your business.
39. Seal The Deal
Saved from: Pinterest
Bring it back to the time of kings and noblemen with a custom wax seal. Use an existing logo, or an intricately flourished monogram, or create your own coat of arms for a stunning regal effect. With a card like this, you can show them you're the king of your craft.
40. Say it in a Speech Bubble
Saved from: CardObserver
There's no need to say hello, when your card can do it for you. With a modern business card like this, they'll definitely know whose name to call out loud for help. Speech bubbles are a fun way to add shape to your cards without having it stray too far from the classics.
41. Be Iconic
Saved from: Behance
Keep your business logo front and center on your card for a clean design that's easily memorable. Instead of cluttering your card with unnecessary design, focusing on a single icon or symbol that represents your brand makes your business easy to recall.
42. Fill up a Folded Card
Saved from: Business Card Design Ideas
When there's more you need to say, don't clutter up one face of a business card. Instead, give it several faces to fill. Folded cards do not only give you more space to write details, but they also allow your client to have a visual walk through. Since they go through each page step-by-step, they focus on one element, and move on to the next, instead of seeing everything on just a singular card face.
43. Watch Them Tear it Apart
Saved from: CardObserver
Perforated tear-away cards add a great element to a modern business card. You can use them either to reveal a part of the information, or so they can split your card when they want to refer you to a friend. That's two clients for the price of one card!
44. The New Black (and White)
Saved from: Creative Market
Great design doesn't mean you have to have five thousand colors. You may as well just keep it in black and white. Black and white card designs are crisp and give your card a sophisticated feel. No matter how wild and intricate your design is, keeping it in black and white instantly makes it look clean.
45. Make Yourself Newsworthy
Saved from: Coroflot
Be the front page story of your business with a card that looks just like newsprint copy. Give your client a look into the editing room by showing some highlighted parts of your contact information. You can even add a few tasteful photographs and a small block of text to explain what you do, and still keep it clean, classic and eye-catching.
46. Wear Your Card on Your Sleeve
Saved from: Freelancer
Sleeved business cards are an immensely versatile idea. Use them to change up the color for each card. Sleeves can also keep the outside design minimal with just the logo, and all the information is kept inside. You can even use the sleeve to keep a sample inside, like a piece of chocolate.
47. Make it Holographic
Saved from: Behance
Holographic cards make for very interesting visuals. They aren't expensive to produce, but they give off duochromatic colors. Any simple design can easily go from boring earthling to interesting intergalactic just by adding a holographic effect.
48. Get (Super) Funky With The Colors
Saved from: Design Work Life
Don't be afraid of pouring an entire rainbow onto your card. Keep it interesting and wild with bold color choices. Pair it up with clean fonts and a minimalist typeface to keep your card looking crazy but clutter-free.
49. Sprinkle a Touch of Texture
Saved from: From up North
Ideas don't always have to be represented visually. A card, after all, isn't something you see on a screen, but something you get to hold. A simple design matched with interesting textured material can already convey ideas on its own. A clean design on a card that looks like granite, or a diamond tufted sheet gives a feeling of luxury. You can also match up two textures, by printing gloss on a matte finish.
50. Play With Dimensions
Saved from: UnderConsideration
Business cards don't have to stay in the same shape or size. Get yourself a hexagon, because you can. If you want your clients to know that you're not afraid to try new things, break a few rules with your modern business cards.
51. Mix And Match Fonts
Saved from: Erika Brechtel
Not all designs have to be shapes and colors. Using interesting fonts is a great way to convey a clear message about you and your brand. Flowy scripts paired with boxy sans serifs show a classic sense of luxury. Futuristic fonts, action scripts, handwritten fonts, and fun typefaces can convey a different message on their own with little to no additional graphics.
52. White Spaces Are Your Friend
Saved from: Pinterest
Not every good design has to get wild or clever. Keeping it clean and expanding white spaces allows your client to focus on the details on your card. White cards don't have to be boring. Use minimalist typefaces and a few tasteful visuals for a classic card that stands on its own.
53. Give it a Personal Touch
Saved from: Ortolan
Business cards don't have to all be exactly the same. Adding something extra and keeping it different each time makes sure your client has a unique card. Skip the cluttered design and sign your autograph on your card. Or opt to keep a small space blank for a customized, handwritten message.
54. Show Them Who You Are With Avatars
Saved from: Pinterest
Your client may more easily remember who you are and what you do when your face is on the card. Give yourself an avatar with a graphic representation of your person. It can be a playful cartoon representation or a portrait of your face. You could also use a photo avatar that you use in your various other social media platforms so you're easily recognizable.
55. Tell Your Story With Photos
Saved from: Pinterest
A photo can tell a story of a thousand words. And when your story is on a card that fits in a pocket, you're going to need a photo. Photographs on modern business cards work really well to show them exactly what it is you do. You can show the kind of food you can cook, or the kind of animals you work with, or the kinds of houses you can design. You can use the same photograph for all your business cards, or choose three or four of the best ones to reprint.
56. Stay Frosty
Saved from: Naked Print
Frosted plastic is a great material for modern business cards. It's translucent enough for a unique design. It can stay a standard rounded rectangle, but show a cut-out pattern. In addition to it being visually interesting, the texture also feels nice to the touch. Frosted plastic is versatile enough to go with minimal prints or to be paired with intricate designs. It makes for the kind of card you already know won't get thrown away.
57. Facebook Cards
Saved from: DeviantArt
Facebook is just that social media platform that practically everyone has. The design is iconic and easily memorable. And the layout on its own is a great space to hold all your information. A card that looks like your Facebook timeline is creative and clean. And it allows you to put in your business's location, your photo, your business logo, and your basic information.
58. Try Out Different Fabrics
Saved from: Pinterest
Paper and card aren't the only available materials for a card. Other textiles like fabric make for visually interesting pieces with great texture to them. Leather makes great material for embossing. And cloth tags sewn on woven canvas pieces add a rustic feel to a creative card like none other.
59. Go Retro
Saved from: Designer Daily
Saved from: Paster Magazine
Travel back to the past and re-invigorate your sense of nostalgia with traditional designs. Opting for retro or vintage graphics and fonts makes your card easily memorable. Well-known themes and symbols that have a good history give your modern business cards a feel of timelessness and tradition.
60. Contrast With Colors
Saved from: Freelancer
Opposites attract. And when it comes to design, this rings true. Contrasting colors don't have to clash. Use color blocks or minimal designs, and keep your text in a single color for a design that truly pops.

Yesterday, columnist Chris Hedges' graced us with an article entitle The Obama Deception: Why Cornel West Went Ballistic. In the first line of the article, Hedges dubs Cornel West a moral philosopher and a voice of moral conscience if Obama's ascent to power was a morality play. Funny, I don't recall any meeting of black folks to elect West as our moral compass. If any of y'all took part in this vote, drop me a line and tell me when and where the election was held.
A telling story on West is that he was livid that he did not receive tickets to the inauguration. I have to wonder how much of his criticism of the President is motivated by his hurt feelings that he has not been included in the President's inner circle. The point of West's diatribe against Obama that he shared with Hedges appears to center on West's belief that Obama is a sellout who is a white man in a black skin. West pontificates at length on this topic:
"I think my dear brother Barack Obama has a certain fear of free black men," West says. "It's understandable. As a young brother who grows up in a white context, brilliant African father, he's always had to fear being a white man with black skin. All he has known culturally is white. He is just as human as I am, but that is his cultural formation. When he meets an independent black brother, it is frightening. And that's true for a white brother. When you get a white brother who meets a free, independent black man, they got to be mature to really embrace fully what the brother is saying to them. It's a tension, given the history. It can be overcome. Obama, coming out of Kansas influence, white, loving grandparents, coming out of Hawaii and Indonesia, when he meets these independent black folk who have a history of slavery, Jim Crow, Jane Crow and so on, he is very apprehensive. He has a certain rootlessness, a deracination. It is understandable."Dr. West, you're full of crap. West is a professor at Princeton, not exactly in the hood. What credentials does West posses that qualify him to define blackness and exclude those whom he feels don't do "being black" right? It's a rhetorical question; he has none. It's difficult enough being marginalized based on skin color without the further complication of having members of your own group decide that you don't measure up to some arbitrary standard of membership in the group. West also takes issue with Michelle Obama, questioning why she doesn't visit a prison or "spend some time in the hood."
West and Rev. Al Sharpton engaged in heated debate at Smiley's recent annual State of Black America conference. Sharpton insisted (rightly I believe) that Obama is the president of all the people and that promoting policies that benefit all Americans will benefit black Americans. West insisted that Obama has become the soul of darkness itself, betraying the poor, particularly poor black people. However, I don't think that West's ire comes from any real belief that Obama is the anti-Christ; he's upset because Obama stopped calling him on the phone.
"There is the personal level," he says. "I used to call my dear brother [Obama] every two weeks. I said a prayer on the phone for him, especially before a debate. And I never got a call back. And when I ran into him in the state Capitol in South Carolina when I was down there campaigning for him he was very kind. The first thing he told me was, 'Brother West, I feel so bad. I haven't called you back. You been calling me so much. You been giving me so much love, so much support and what have you.' And I said, 'I know you're busy.' But then a month and half later I would run into other people on the campaign and he's calling them all the time. I said, wow, this is kind of strange. He doesn't have time, even two seconds, to say thank you or I'm glad you're pulling for me and praying for me, but he's calling these other people."West does deal with some substance as to his issues with Obama. He feels that Obama has betrayed his populist promises, adopting a centrist agenda instead of the progressive populist agenda that Obama promised during his campaign. I give West some credit on this point. I think that on many issues Obama has chosen to be centrist or as West puts it, an advocate of a neo-liberal centrist policy in the same mold as Bill Clinton. I don't think that's a bad thing. I'm a pragmatist and I never believed that Obama would be able to implement a purely progressive agenda in less than a single term. Change is always incremental unless it's done through revolution, which seldom works out well as the lofty goals of the revolutionaries are soon corrupted. West never fully fleshes out the specifics of his issues with Obama's presidential policies and decisions; instead he goes off on another rant declaring that the President "...feels most comfortable with upper middle-class white and Jewish men who consider themselves very smart, very savvy and very effective in getting what they want..."
West does raise concerns about the have-nots in America, the people who have been marginalized and haven't fared well under any administration, including the current one. I could get behind a push to urge Obama to take more aggressive steps in addressing eroding poverty in America but I don't buy into West's vision of himself as a prophet shouting the truth in the wilderness nor his vision of Obama as Darth Vader embracing his dark side. Clearly there is a lot of work to be done but the President has given no indication that he is unaware that the journey has only just begun.
Hedges is late to the party. West's rants against the president are nothing new in black media. He and Smiley had a hissy fit when candidate Obama declined to attend Smiley's annual State of Black America conference. Smiley has declared himself the voice of black America over the last decade and West has bestowed his blessing on Smiley. The other third of this triumvirate of blackness is Michael Eric Dyson, who joins Smiley and West in measuring the President's blackness and finding it insufficient. If you are truly interested in keeping up with what a lot of black people are talking about, add Black America Web to your bookmarks.
For another perspective on West and Hedges' article, please check out this article by Melissa Harris-Perry, an associate professor of politics and African-American studies at Princeton University and a colleague of West, Cornel West v. Barack Obama.
Clearly, I don't believe that the President is immune from criticism; neither does the author of the article that I recommended above. I think that he has made missteps and errors in judgment. However, Hedges' article isn't about those errors and missteps as much as it is about Cornel West, a man with a self-inflated ego who is peeved that his "greatness" is not fully recognized by the President.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, but what happens if you can't seem to find a Christmas tree in time? TFOL Animation's Christmas LEGO special this year is quite heartwarming and a perfect reminder of the meaning of the holidays! The animation was shot with a Nikon D5100. We're loving the falling snow!
Happy holidays, everyone! Happy animating!
