| Old Firehouse Open To Public: But Is It Haunted? | | 2008-05-12 08:21:06 | | PUEBLO - It was one of Pueblo's first fire stations...back when fireman responded to calls on horse-drawn wagons carrying hoses.
"It makes us realize what life was like back then," Said Gary Micheli of the Pueblo Fire Department. "There was some pretty tough characters back then. They didn't have all of the equipment that we have now days...so they did some pretty amazing things," he said. | | By: samondeath | | |

| Parents of autistic children: Let's train public safety workers to deal with our children | | 2008-05-10 13:21:00 | | The story indicates that if an autistic child was in danger in a fire, that if a firefighter told the child to get away from the burning building, the child might do the opposite. So, with a growing number of children having autism — one in 94 in New Jersey — some parents of autistic children are calling on officials here to require that police and fire employees undergo autism-awareness training.

| Stay-At-Home Moms Should Get More Public Praise | | 2008-05-09 11:37:06 | | As a society, we like to honor people who have done extraordinary things. People who have sacrificed something for the good of society often get recognized for their efforts. Since getting married and having children, I have been thinking a lot of the incredible value of mothers staying at home with their children and running a healthy household, and the little value they have in society's eyes.
The mother's place in the family is truly where the heart lies. A healthy household has a very capable, righteous, and respected mother. And healthy families make a healthy society. So why doesn't society honor its most honorable member - a mother who chooses to sacrifice honors, titles, and money for a healthy family and ultimately a healthy society? Other less honorable members are often praised. Though they might have done praiseworthy acts, they are often compensated in some way for their efforts.
This is where my duty as a husband steps in. At home, I need to give my wife all the | | By: Living Catholicism | | |

| Putting the "public" in public media ... | | 2008-05-09 08:36:00 | | The "public" as subsidizer of the news business? The "public" as a monolithic "object" in league with the media?Or the "public" we envision in our "One Long Island" projects?"....While it is the only business protected by the Constitution, the press isn’t shielded from the laws of supply and demand. If the current business model isn’t working, then it’s because the distribution of news has radically changed, allowing those with Internet access to dictate their news content. Judy and Mickey are not going to be able to save Newsday, and the idea of a local media collective is dead on arrival. The future of Newsday will be decided by veteran financial professionals, seasoned media analysts, digital marketers, government regulators and, most importantly, by the market forces that are shaping how and who gets their news.If Rupert Murdoch and his News Corp. are the front-runners in a bid that comes in at over half a billion dollars, then it’s because he understands economy of scale, | | By: Long Island Idea Factory | | |

| Sen. Menendez: Thank God We Don't Have Economists Making Public Policy | | 2008-05-05 23:00:00 | | Huffington Post has posted a video clip of Sen. Menendez being interviewed on MSNBC, in which he says: "You know, thank God that we don't have economists making necessarily public policy, because they don't really feel the pains of average Americans."What if economists did make public policy? You wouldn't see policy proposals like Sen. Clinton's gas tax holiday that may be well-intentioned but won't work to benefit consumers. And you wouldn't see stupid tax proposals like those that have come from Sen. Menendez's office over the past few years.Menendez illustrates the fundamental reason that economics is the dismal science: Economists will tell you both the good and the bad when you only want to hear the good. It's also funny to hear, Menendez, a man who was appointed senator by the New Jersey political machine, and who's been on Capitol Hill for the last sixteen years, claim that economists don't care about average Americans.

| Bomb blasting in public transport – Ruthlessness Vs. recklessness | | 2008-04-25 12:49:35 | | The defeated LTTE terrorists have once again revealed their cowardice by targeting civilians in a bomb blast in public transport. This is just two days after they lost their forward defense line in the north front and completely lost their territory of Madu area south of the tiger den. Since terrorists are no longer capable of facing security forces, their only option is to try and inflict physical fear towards the civilians by mass murdering and killing. Of course there is hired media mafia backed by INGO’s in the south to transfer this physical fear in to fear psychosis in the society aiming at jeopardizing the victory against terrorists.This is not the first bomb blast in public transport. We all must be shameful as a nation that we are still unable to stop this nuisance of terrorists. First, we should understand that all these bombs were targeting at civilians and it is our responsibility to defend our lives. It is clear that security forces can do very little in preventing this | | By: Lanka Rising | | |

| Fashion Business Tips: Find The Way To Present Your Fashion Design Items To The Public | | 2008-04-20 21:02:00 | | A lot of student who graduated from fashion design school somehow has expectation of having their own fashion design business. Some of them may want to be a designer and just want to have own little studio then taking the job from outside, mean while some other want to join reputable fashion design schools or institutes or even work for the company which can pay highest income. However, the fashion business today has more variety of options. As the fashion business actually can be started from very small scale like family business where one or two family member could set up by using only little budget, to the very large fashion items manufacturers. There are so many business owners who are now are very successful and are the owner of very famous fashion design companies, and these people started their business only from home business.

In this scenario, the expert searcher does not rely on Google; he relies on specificsearch strategies.The debate however, rages on about where to find public domain works: On the Internet orin the real world, sifting through libraries and stores holding old books? The answer, ofcourse, is two-pronged: You can use both avenues to supplement your research – find apublic domain title via the Internet and acquire through a real-world search.

| Box temple expands itself to encroach public land | | 2008-04-08 09:25:00 | | There was a small projection to a compound wall in front of one of the houses wherein a Ganesha Idol was kept and few local people worshipping it. Quite a harmless thing.But I happened to notice recently that a small makeshift fence has been set up around this box temple, occupying public land.No wonder, if this box temple will expand itself to occupy 50% of the road in next 6-12 months. Building places of religious worship is an easy way to make money and occupy precious real estate. Due to sensitive nature of the issue politicians and administration often hesitate to take stern action. Just keeping on record current scenario here, we’ll revisit this post after an year or so to see if the temple has occupied more space by expanding itself. Probably a bigger temple will be built around it with stories cooked up to highlight the historical significance of this place or how powerful this particular god is.Related post: Omkareshwara Temple, Madikeri * Ganesha Festival AftermathBrought | | By: eNidhi - A professional amateur | | |

| How To Simply Approach Women In Public | | 2008-04-03 09:25:29 | | It's all too easy to over complicate matters that's because for many of us we tend to over analyze. As they say analysis can lead to paralysis and as a result we do nothing. When approaching any woman anywhere just be sensitive to her situation.Don't just invade her space and expect to be greeted with open arms. With that said some women may just be having a bad day and you come along at the wrong time. If this happens and you have a bad experience for goodness sake don't let that one experience dictate everything you do for the rest of your life.Frankly it's all about creating opportunities. People who create opportunities set themselves up for success and those who judge everything set themselves up for a miserable life.A simple smile is a gesture that is inviting and if a woman takes you up on it the least you can do is say "hi". Then just make general conversation about what's going on around you and do not get personal.At a later stage when the conversation is underway you can int | | By: Pick up Artist - How to Pick up Women, Dating Advi | | |

Hang on a minute... | | 2008-03-23 20:53:00 | | Royal Air Force Yacht Club Ladies' Luncheon, HambleOn 14 March I spoke to around 50 ladies at the Hamble Royal Air Force Yacht Club in Hampshire.They were a very good audience and, despite the talk being scheduled for after the (very good) lunch, attentive enough for me to speak for the best part of an hour on My Life as a Freelance Comedy Writer (often a presentation following a meal has to be somewhat shorter!)Afterwards, as always, I chatted to members, gave out my Twelve Tips for Terrified Speakers! leaflets and sold and signed booklets. Even back in the days before I gave people handouts or did any merchandising after my talks, I would still be available to chat with audience members. It is only on the rare occasions that I have to get away quickly to travel on to another engagement miles away that I make a quick exit and even then I cut it fine by spending at least some time with the people who have just given me their attention, laughter and applause.Years ago, a Women's Institu | | By: Nick R Thomas - A Public Speaker's Blog | | |

| Disadvantages of public schooling | | 2008-03-23 18:59:51 | | When we consign our children to public schools, we feel satisfied that they are receiving 'quality education'. But, are we really getting our money's worth? More importantly, are the children gaining anything from this kind of a learning procedure?Socialization is hailed as one of the greatest advantage of schools. This is the place where the child picks up the rudiments of social skills that help him survive. But in truth, a regular school-going child can interact only with his peers. He may bu | | By: Journal and Resource | | |

| Career in Public Relations | | 2008-03-20 04:09:00 | | In the last decade, Public Relations (PR) has gained popularity and importance. The speed of communication and the bewildering change and progress in various fields has resulted in the rise of PR as a profession. PR has a key role to play in informing the public about an organization and converting ignorance into knowledge and understanding. Generating public interest and turning hostility into acceptance in some cases is also the job of a PR manager. PR analyzes the effects of organizational policies and the reactions of the public. The public is a very important part of an organization and is essential for its survival and success. The basic components of public relations, according to a monograph issued by the PRSA Foundation, include the following: | | By: Career Options and Higher Studies | | |

| Display an Alert When Your Public Drop-Box is Updated | | 2008-03-11 22:16:34 | | If people are constantly putting stuff in your Public drop box, (~/Public/Drop Box/) then you probably don't want to have to go through the hassle of somebody putting stuff in there and not telling you. Later down the road, they ask you what you thought of it and you have no idea the item even existed! (This is why you should email people if you put something in their drop box.) However, there is a rather easy way to fix this problem. (On your side at least.) And, of course, it uses applescript. What we're going to do is make an applescript which notifies us if something was put into our drop box and give us the option of either:a) Forgetting about it.b) Marking the file with a color label.c) Opening the drop box.The reason that we open the drop box is because if we opened the file(s) we might run into the problem of somebody dropping lots of files and then you would have to wait for your computer to catch up.The applescript is:property the_color : 3 --Number 1-7on adding folder items | | By: The MacTipper Blog | | |

| They'll let you know: lessons from public speakers' auditions (part 2) | | 2008-03-11 19:48:20 | | In my previous post, I wrote about Women's Institutes but in October 2005, the month of my most recent WI Speaker Selection Day (East Sussex Federation), I also took part in two other, very different auditions. The results varied enormously but I gained something from both experiences.An entertainment agency's showcase auditionThere is a highly successful entertainment agent in Devon who I've known for many years. I mentioned to her that I was wondering about the possibility of doing stand-up in some of the hotels in a major national chain she supplies acts for, hotels where the guests belong, almost exclusively, to the age group that I deliver many of my humorous talks to. She told me that she was soon holding one of her regular, Sunday afternoon auditions for cabaret acts in one of her hotels in front of a small audience.I said that I was used to delivering sober-suited talks so I didn't have any of the sometimes rather loud costumes associated with cabaret acts.
