*** A Ministry:

Hi Ned,

Sitting at Bruegger's Bagels in Auburndale (by Star Market–probably not here when you lived here) thinking of how much I enjoy JOTW. Not just the info, but the spirit. Lifts me up during what could be a down period–job hunting. It's more than a newsletter. It's a ministry. THANKS!

Judy

(Amen.

That bagel place was a Brigham's Ice Cream shop. I had many a Lime Rickey and a slice of Boston Cream Pie when I took my breaks from Star. For lunch I would often go next door to Star at the Yem Mee restaurant where Henry would fix me up. The Yem Mee replaced Jane's Luncheonette. There was also an Edwards 5-10-$1 store next to Star, and a dentist's office. The bank was a Sarni's Dry Cleaners. Steve Reagan's Irving Gas Station was many brands, including Sinclair, which replaced Flying A. As a Flying A, there was an airplane on the roof.)

What a great stroll down memory lane. I used to love lime rickeys. When we moved to other cities around the USA I learned that it is only a New England thing.

Judy

(Try the Raspberry Lime Rickey.)

*** Get down:

Ned,

I've been enjoying your JOTW e-mail newsletter for a few years. I tried to find it on your website, and found lots of announcements, but no job listings. What did I do wrong? How do I find your job listings?

Thanks.

Steve

(You probably are looking at the numbered contents. Scroll down…down…down. It's a big newsletter.)

*** From Michael Clendenin:

Hey Ned,

Got this question from a colleague and thought I'd put it out on the jotw wire to see what kind of help we can find him:

We’re looking to benchmark against other member-based orgs who have both a print and online magazine, as we consider doing more with our own online offering (currently a page-turner that gets tossed online after the print pub is final.)

Do you have contacts in associations or other member-based orgs who work closely with their online magazine? It would be great if my colleagues and I could do a conference call or WebEx show-and-tell to learn about:

Technology – Would like to learn about the tools others use to publish the magazine, and also to integrate it with push emails and their main web site?

Editorial staffing and process – how many people contribute content? What skill sets do they have? Do they work thru their “local channels” (e.g. chapters?) to find content and weave it into the national publication?

Ad sales – do they have different staff (or an outside firm) to sell online ads vs. print ads? Are either the print or online magazine designed to generate net revenue, or are they considered a “member service”?

I can understand if some of this might be considered proprietary, so people might be reluctant to share. I can say that we would be willing to share our own corresponding data in return, although at this point it would be limited to the print magazine, since we don’t offer a separate online version (other than the aforementioned page-turner.)

My colleague is Joe Klem, VP Virtual ULI at Urban Land Institute. He can be reached at joseph.klem@uli.org, though I'm sure we would all love the benefit of the answer.

Thanks for posting the query.

*** Music to my ears:

Ned: Uriah Heep did not take me anywhere. Hey, it's all about the moment.

My musical tastes are anything but predictable. My music library has

something for almost everyone (save maybe the serious opera or bluegrass

devotee…). Just the other night, I downloaded Pat Green's “Feels Just

Like it Should” not because I liked the artist but because it reminded me of

a moment in life that I treasure. Music should be like that. And everyone

should have a Pat Green “Feels Just Like It Should” friend in their memory

banks. Cheers to all of you!

Heather

p.s. – Loved Sofman's alternative selections this week. Where does he come up with

those?

(Maybe you weren’t outside the Cape Cod Coliseum trying to get in the fire escape entrance to the Uriah Heep concert, so those memories are not singed into your head.)

*** One Paragraph Pitch:

Dear Ned,

I'm a longtime subscriber to JOTW, which has proved of great value to me. I've never done the pitch before, but find I need to now. So, could you please add the following pitch?

Thanks. JOTW yielded one of the best opportunities I've had in my checkered career. And I'm hoping this self-intro will help again.

All the best,

Robin

Here it is :

2009 marks my 31st year as a business communicator. I've taken risks, pursued offbeat opportunities, and rolled with the punches. I wrote a play dealing with teenage pregnancy for a community hospital, performed by students at a local high school. Faced with the task of producing internal corporate videos, I learned on the job and came through with over a dozen during a four-year period. Discovering an intriguing corporate history at an oilfield services company, I researched like a scholar and emerged with what Hagley Museum & Library head Dr. Nash described as “one of the finest historic collections we've ever seen.” As a marketing department secretary, I volunteered to write a bank's internal newsletter (circulation: 3,500), and went on to provide writing and photography for over 30 consecutive monthly issues. While at the bank, I got my MBA on the company's dime. My boss said later she never thought I'd last past the first semester! As for the newsletter, after I left the bank to pursue a telecommunications product launch opportunity following my graduation, the woman who replaced me told me they quit producing it: “We didn't realize how much work i t was!” I've edited and advised on expert opinions generated by a group of civil, electrical, and mechanical engineers on construction-related disputes. I've seen the indoor swimming pool and the silhouettes of derricks above the Arctic Circle on the North Slope — the windy, scrubby, sorry camel-wandering desert in Qatar — ridden for three days in choppy waters on a stimulation vessel in the Gulf of Mexico — been whizzed at breakneck speed in the predawn dark along a winding dirt road to meet the guys at a rig in the midst of a Trinidadian jungle. I've learned how to write speeches. How to use HTML in providing web content remotely, day in and day out. How to photograph just about anything and anyone — anywhere. How to design and lay out pdf'd newsletters and collateral material. How to turn a photograph into a painting. How to pull a story together on a new hot-hole drilling tool while at a conference on Hollywood film scriptwriting. How to interview musicians, machine tool operators, mud engineers, corporate presidents, lawyers, psychiatrists, artists, IT innovators, politicians, homeless people, corporate board members, parents, forklift operators, women’s shelter volunteers, ship captains, futurists, respiratory therapists, Holocaust survivors, pipe welders, tax accountants, and all types of kids — emerging with a story that gives the facts, presents a clear picture, and engages readers. So: I have three digital cameras, a professional camcorder, a computer laden with writing, graphics, and DVD editing software, and20a reliable laptop. I like to work at home — keep my carbon footprint minimal. But I'll follow a story right to its source if needed. I don't eat much. I like economy class. I'm healthy. My curiosity is omnivorous. I keep up with nano-stuff, with medical developments, with edgy ideas, yet I love a classic approach to a story. I enjoy simple work like copyediting and web content management, where the key is consistency. I also enjoy complex work like exploring farflung corporate offices to show a global company's employees what makes the whole thing tick, where the keys are tenacity and versatility. Please contact me at robinbeckwithrb@aol.com. I'm reasonable. But for me quality overrides a slipshod effort.

Wow, Ned. You're full of surprises.

Kinda takes me back. Was a fan during my disaffected youth. Later became a

big fan of Bob Mould — Workbook is an excellent album. Just checked my

enjoy(ed). Either that or it's your plot to get me to download music on
