The Observer is a British newspaper, published on Sundays. In about the same place on the political spectrum as its daily sister paper The Guardian, which acquired it in 1993, it takes a left-liberal or social democratic line on most issues. It is the world's oldest Sunday newspaper [2]. The first issue, published on 4 December 1791 by W.S. Bourne, was the world's first Sunday newspaper. Believing that the paper would be a means of wealth, Bourne instead soon found himself facing debts of nearly £1,600. In 1794, Bourne attempted to sell The Observer to anti-government based groups in London. When this failed Bourne's brother (a wealthy businessman) made an offer to the government, which also refused to buy the paper but agreed to subsidise it in return for influence over its editorial content. As a result, the paper soon took a strong line against radicals such as Thomas Paine, Francis Burdett, and Joseph Priestley. In 1807, the brothers decided to relinquish editorial control, naming Lewis Doxat as the new editor. Seven years later, the brothers sold The Observer to William Innell Clement, a newspaper proprietor who already owned a number of publications. Though the paper continued to receive government subsidies, it criticised the authorities' handling of the events surrounding the Peterloo Massacre and defied an 1820 court order against publishing details of the trial of the Cato Street Conspirators who were alleged to have plotted to murder members of the Cabinet. The woodcut pictures published of the stable and hayloft where the conspirators were arrested reflected a new stage of illustrated journalism that the newspaper pioneered during this time.

5. Health-care reform far from finalized
November 05, 2009
If Congressional health-care reform observer R.J. Pirlot had a crystal ball, it would be murky at best. Where are they going to wind up? I don't know," Pirlot, legislative affairs director for Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, told a luncheon audience Wednesday during the Manitowoc County Business Summit at Fox Hills Resort.
Part of Pirlot's challenge in trying to decipher the smoke signals coming out of Washington, D.C., is the nature of the discussions by members of the House and Senate.

8. Finding Magic in Your Life
October 12, 2009
Magic is the impossible, the unexplainable; its something you simply can’t understand. It describes something that is more of a feeling than a hard actual fact. Its almost dependant on the observer to determine that something is magic, rather than the one performing the trick.
Most magic is about tricks. The magician attached a string to his wand, and since the string is so thin, it looks like the wand is floating. If you know the string is there its just, fact, its science, its reality. But when you don’t know the string is there its magic.

October 02, 2009
When it comes to dating and relationships, it's not who you know, it's WHAT you know. When I used to go to parties and interact and try to talk with people, I NEVER got anyone's attention.

Problem was, I was never PART OF these conversations, I was only an observer.

23. Saint Thomas Aquinas: A Model Of Sensuous Beauty
August 27, 2009
In the middle ages, Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274), one of the greatest of the medieval Christian theologians, commented on what he thought were the elements of Beauty. What was an offhanded comment in his monumental Summa Theologica has become for many lovers of beauty, a model of evaluation and appreciation based on three concepts: wholeness, balance, and radiance. If a work of art contains all the three elements, then the observer may be reasonably assured that the work is beautiful. Should one of these three components be found deficient then the work will be deficient; and though... (read more)
