#public relations
Makes me think of the Star Trek: TOS episode “The Cloud Minders,” when Droxine suggests calling the filter masks for the at-risk miners “protectors” instead of the drier technical term “filters.” And I 100% agree with Dr. Blackstock.
In his arms, it is always June

The mission of ID’s Internship Program is to provide interns with a rigorous, high-quality educational and practical experience, which will prepare them as competent and effective communication strategists with an emphasis in entertainment public relations; giving them a competitive advantage in pursuing entry-level opportunities post-graduation.
We are seeking interns to join our company in both NY and LA who display the drive and dedication needed to begin a career in entertainment. As an intern you will be viewed as a fundamental part of the company. Interns are given the opportunity to gain hands on work experience alongside various departments including Film, Brands, Talent, Music and Digital. You will learn to create press kits, draft event invite memos, organize talent schedules, clip press breaks, assist in the planning and execution of events, and learn how to pitch media both strategically and creatively, among many other tasks, as part of the intern program at ID. From assisting in the day-to-day tasks required of a full-time publicist to strategic planning and communications, ID interns will have a fully integrated and enriching semester.
Established in 1993, ID began as a boutique publicity firm with only a handful of clients. Today, we are a fully-integrated agency representing hundreds of clients including many of the world’s leading actors, films, and filmmakers, musicians, brands, technology and production companies and corporations. ID is home to an innovative group of communications strategists who work in highly customized teams designed to bring forth the best level of experience and expertise to drive measurable results. With these hybrid teams, we ensure that the most creative approach is taken when addressing the client’s goals as they relate to branding, communication and media. Our synergistic culture revolves around the core values of respect, collaboration and personal growth, fostered by a supportive team dynamic, open communication and creative opportunity. Our passion for our work is matched only by our unbridled vision: we translate our ideas, insight and skills into results for our clients every day.
Our program starts September 9th and ends December 13th. Interns are required to be here for either 20 hours per week or 2 full 8-hour days, to be determined based on your course schedule. Please send all resumes and cover letters to [email protected]and specify which office you’re interested in.
Remember Your First Book Review?
It all takes time, but I received my first book review.. and also a 5 star-rating from someone who bought it on Amazon.. so I am getting at least somewhere.
Hoping someone with a little better sense of humor can review it, but this one was a THREE out of FOUR possible stars.
[Drumroll][Following is the official OnlineBookClub.org review of “War and Vegetables” by Robert Run.]

When I became an entrepreneur, I dreamed of working from home. No commute, flexible hours, and not having to do my hair. And then that dream came true.
However, after a few weeks, I realized working from home is way harder than I imagined. I did not know there were so many means of procrastination. I had to make some changes and fast if I wanted to get work done.
Here are some rules I learned along the way to help me avoid procrastination.
1.Set up a work area. Sit a table or desk. No couch or bed.
2.Maintain a start and stop time. It doesn’t have to be the traditional 9-5, after all you are at home. But setting an alarm to wake up and get to work keeps your brain on track.
3. Get Dress. You don’t have to put on a suit or dress but for me putting on causal attire puts me in a state to work rather than my pajamas.
4. Stay from distractions. Turn off the TV and social media alerts that are not business related.
5. Make a to do list. Make a list of everything you need to complete for that day. This will keep you on track and away from procrastination.
6. Take a lunch break. Just like you would do at a job off site. Allow yourself some leisure time to recharge and prepare you to go back to work.
What are some rules you have for staying focused when working from home?
An entrepreneur is a person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so. Hard work, dedication, tears, and tons of patience is also required.
As an entrepreneur those things are not always easy to deal with but I knew I could manage. The one thing that I struggled with was a support system. A person or persons that I could brainstorm with, gain inspiration, ask for advice, or even just vent to. When you go into business for yourself you automatically think the support with be there. But that’s not always the case. So what do you do?
Well here are somethings I did to gain support and inspiration.
1.Social Media: I followed people and businesses in the same industry as me. Hashtags helped direct me to some cool pages. This gave me great inspiration.
2.Meetup.com: I signed up to meetup.com and attended mixers to network with people who were also entrepreneurs and in the same industry as well. I was able to talk to people going through the same ups and downs as me. It was a good way to vent and get advice. As well as make some new business opportunites.
3.LinkedIn.com: LinkedIn is a great way to join groups in your industry. There you can ask questions to professionals, some at top companies.
4.Blog: Blogs are a great way to get first hand experiences from peers. Just like I am sharing mine with you!
Hope this helps those seeking some support and inspiration.

Illegal Pete’s is a restaurant with establishments in Boulder and Denver for over a decade, has come under fire from members of the Ft. Collins community recently for the use of the word “illegal” in their name. This has created somewhat of a PR shit-storm of back and forth debates and discussions between Pete (the owner) and people opposing the use of the name, both online and in public forums.
