Sarah Armstrong — Marketing Communications Consultant

Available for Contract Work

Particularly Interested in Non Profits and International Humanitarian Work

My expertise is in all areas of communications and marketing – including market research (both quantitative and qualitative); plan development and implementation; advertising, public relations, event planning and execution and spokesperson training. I have also spent much of my career helping organizations with branding and positioning and partnership building. In addition to my extensive communications/marketing qualifications, I have a true passion for international humanitarian work — particularly in Africa. After more than two decades of working for organizations like The American Red Cross, Porter Novelli and AARP, I started my own company and started my own foundation.

I am the founder and director of A Brighter Tomorrow for Africa Foundation – a 501(c)3 organization developed to help women and children in Sierra Leone, West Africa. I work with Community Based Organizations that help children and women in the areas of nutrition and education. My web address is http://www.brighterafrica.org.

And my consulting practice is called Mosaic Company. Please get in touch anytime through email or by phone: sarah.armstrong@mosaiccompany.com. 703-237-3172. And I'd be happy to send a full CV anytime! Thank you.

.*** The Job Market:

Is the job market tied to the stock market?

Of course. But some of you have tried to make sense of the number of the jobs in JOTW as relating to the state of the economy. 100 jobs means things are good. Less than 50 means not so good. That has not been true, because the number of jobs in JOTW is more a function of how much time I have to devote to putting the newsletter together.

There are other indicators that I have noticed, however, that might point to a downturn in available jobs for communicators, and those are other sites and lists I see that are noticeably smaller.

Also, you probably read this:

ECONOMY SHED 159,000 JOBS IN SEPTEMBER: Adding to signs of economic slowdown, the decline in nonfarm employment was the steepest in five years and was the ninth straight monthly decline. The unemployment rate held at 6.1%.

*** Pat Valdata questions spelling:

Sunglasses & a bonnet

And designer jeans with appliqués on it

You sure that dog wasn't dyed?

(Pat, you are right. How absurd to think a dog would be “died” dark green while wearing sunglasses.)

Depends on whether you were going surrealist on us!

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.

*** Minimum donation:

Some of you have mentioned that the minimum donation ro the Surface Navy Association’s Wounded Warrior project was too high. So I have asked Operation Second Chance to lower the minimum for credit card donations. They have done so. It is now $20.

Please mail check payable to Operation Second Chance, Inc. and include SNA in memo field.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE MEDIA CONSOLIDATION

Ms. MIKULSKI. Mr. President,

I wish today to recognize the Department of Defense for its successful, BRAC-directed consolidation of the Army, Navy, and Air Force media activities into the new Defense Media Activity on October 1, 2008. The Department of Defense has greatly enhanced the consolidation by including the Marine Corps component and the American Forces Information Service in the new Defense Media Activity. The consolidation will improve the effectiveness and efficiency with which the Department of Defense media operations provides critical news and information to our Armed Forces around the world. In the summer of 2011, the Defense Media Activity will locate its headquarters to a state-of-the-art facility at Fort Meade, MD.

The Defense Media Activity is staffed by about 1,700 dedicated military and civilian employees who work in 15

countries. I wish the Defense Media Activity continued success in their support of the men and women of our military services and their families.

I'm not a full blown cocktaiols fan and the difference between them and shooters eludes me.

So like high seas piracy, I know just enough about cocktaiols (or shooters or whatever they are called) to be dangerous.

Mark Sofman

Ned offers a few more:

The Flatliner:

1 part Tequila

1 part Sambuca

4 drops Tabasco sauce

Liquid Steak:

1½ oz. Barcardi 151

Worcestershire Sauce

Smoker's Cough:

1½ oz. Jagermeister

One dollop of warm Mayonnaise

Green Flame:

1 oz Green Chartreuse

1 tsp Bacardi 151

Match

Urine Sample:

1 oz Jose Cuervo

1/2 oz Pabst Blue Ribbon

Bleeding Throat

1 oz. Crown Royal (any proof)

1 oz. Smirnoff Vodka (higher proof=better)

1 oz. Favorite carbonated drink

1 oz. Tabasco

Half-can or less of favorite beer

2-4 ground Habanero peppers

Or this, to wrap things up…

“Cowboy Breakfast”

1 part Southern Comfort

Shot glass dipped in bacon grease and then lined with Lowry's seasoning salt. (think of a margarita with the salt on the glass)

And in the shot glass you put 3 baked beans (yes baked beans)

Chase with the bacon you cooked with the grease.

(Drink responsibly. Which means never drink any of the above.)

*** From John Bouton:

Ned,

A shot of half Goldschlager and half Jagermeister is called a Starry Night and is actually quite delicious.

The nastiest shot I've tried is the Prairie Fire

Prairie Fire

1 OZ Tequila with a splash of Tabasco

(The Prairie Fire was a staple of mine at Lenny’s Tap on 18th and Stae in Milwaukee.)

*** From Jim Parsons and Bob the Cat:

Ned, if I can hop up on the JOTW soapbox for a moment, let me echo and amplify Connie's comments about the Pacific Plains Region conference. Everything was first-rate–the speakers, topics, venue–the works. The organizers definitely deserve a big toast with the JOTW coffee mug du jour.

Regret that I didn't see Connie's presentation, though. Had a previous engagement with the Seattle Seahawks at Qwest Field.

Oh, and BobTheCat remains silly and furry.

*** From Dahna Chandlert:

Pirate spokesperson sets forth the groundrules:

Pirates: Last Cool Thing Ruined By PR

I thought this might interest you.

Dahna

I don't understand the title. “The last cool thing”? Does it mean that pirates are “cool”? Pirates have ALWAYS been dangerous criminals so I can't understand the romance. I mean, Tampa, FL actually celebrates this life of murder and thievery with a parade every year and here we have the real life example of a group of criminals no better than drug runners who have a spokesman. What, are we expected to take them seriously like they're some kind of freedom fighters? They're outlaws from a land of despots!

I'm with you, there's not a win-win solution here. I wonder if these fools have the “I'll go out guns blazing” mentality….

Dahna has shared a blog post with you. To view the blog post or to reply to the message, follow this link:

http://www.facebook.com/n/?inbox/readmessage.php&t=1010673561976

(Ned replies: I found that interesting about the pirates having a spokesman. They are group of criminals, not representative of a country or a big organization. They've stopped lots of ships, and this one just happened to be loaded with tanks. How smart will they be? Will they take the money and have enough leverage to get away scott free (nobody will stop them when they get back to lawless Somalia)? Or, being surrounded, will they fight their way out like trapped animals? I don't think there is a win-win solution here.)

*** Musical bailout:

It's come to my attention that if the 700 billion dollar federal bailout were converted to iTunes downloads for ALL Americans we'd each be able to download 2318 of our favorite songs, including b-sides by Herman and the Hermits, The Turtles and Paul Revere and the Raiders, Captain Beefheart, Lee Michaels, and Buzzy Linhart, among others.

If Apple can keep up with the demand and installs adequate server capacity in time, we may well see Steve Jobs' name placed in nomination for Treasury Secretary in the administration of the next POTUS.

A Senate hearing with Steve Jobs doing a MacWorld style presentation would certainly help C-SPAN's ratings too.

*** Mark Sofman catches the Alternative Selection:

They might have understated how much one needs to be able to lift since the white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) is the largest freshwater fish in North America, can weigh more than 1500 lbs., grow to 15 feet and live more than 100 years. Makes Father Time sound like a piker…oooooh, terrible pun.

*** Regarding LinkedIn, Plaxo and Facebook:

I’m signed up for all three. I appreciate the invitations to connect. However, I do not accept invitations from people I do not know, who have no biographical data, and do not indicate any connection (like PR, communications, served in the navy, reads JOTW, whatever). It you have a blank profile and invite me to connect, I’ll probably ignore it. I also am leery about people who show their cat instead of themselves.
