As long as Politico keeps trumpeting Gingrich's anti-Obama tirades as breaking news, we'll keep asking the simple question: who cares what Newt Gingrich thinks? We're hoping at some point Politico tries to answer the question.
In the meantime, here's the latest installment, where Politico, stuck in its Gin Blossoms `90's mode, pretends Gingrich is still Speaker of the House:
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich tore into President Barack Obama Monday for his friendly greeting of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying Obama is bolstering the "enemies of America."
As we mentioned before, not only was Gingrich essentially driven from Congress more than ten years ago, but we can't think of a single Bush initiative from this decade that had Gingrich's fingerprints on it. Now, Newt can't be bothered with running for office, nor does he seem to represent any larger institution.
He's just a partisan talking head, which is fine. So why has the D.C. press corps, and Politico in particular, carved out a special niche for what's-Newt-thinking-today coverage?
New York Times reporter David Barstow has won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on the conflicts of interest of "military analysts" used by television networks.
The networks have given scant attention to the military analysts story; maybe now that the story has won a Pulitzer for Barstow, they'll pay attention.
Networks continue to ignore NY Times' military analyst story, but all find time for Hannah Montana
Networks reportedly refused to appear on PBS' NewsHour to respond to NY Times' military analysts story; several continue blackout
Multiple choice: Of the following, which outlet covered two recent major national security stories -- NBC, CBS, NPR, PBS, or ... Comedy Central?
If you watch the Sunday shows, the Obama people are no longer arguing the GOP has "no ideas." Now it's they have "no ideas" or "the same old tired ideas." I don't know what's more tired, Republicans calling for tax cuts or Democras for expensive health health care programs, and I suspect voters just want something to help them get through this recession, whether the idea is tired or not.
Well, let's see ... we've implemented the GOP's tax cut proposals - many, many times - with somewhat limited success. We haven't tried universal health care. So it should be pretty obvious which is the "more tired" idea, shouldn't it?
The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder, responding to Steve Schmidt's call for the GOP to drop its opposition to gay rights:
AMBINDER: I know that there are many Republicans who support gay rights, and that most members of the Republican elite are pro-gay, and that the business wing of the party could care less about the issue. ... But I also know that the possibility that the Republican coalition will find some way to organize itself without social conservatives is a ways of a way off. Schmidt's concerns may be valid, but urging the GOP top adopt a tolerance platform WITHOUT figuring out how to declamp itself from the social conservative hook -- that's not terribly realistic. That's why so many Republican strategists, even as they're sympathetic to gay rights (and virtually ALL of them are), don't advise their clients to so much as acknowledge the dignity of gay people."
According to Marc Ambinder, "virtually ALL" Republican strategists are "sympathetic to gay rights," and "most members" of the Republican "elite" are actually "pro-gay." And yet they don't advise their clients to even "acknowledge the dignity of gay people." And they participate in campaigns that do pretty much the opposite of acknowledging the dignity of gay people.
It seems to me that some definitions are in order here. Who exactly are the "elite" Ambinder is talking about? Elected officials? Donors? Consultants and campaign workers? And what does Marc Ambinder think it means to be "pro-gay"? Based on the context, it seems he thinks it means "privately feeling badly about publicly participating in the denigration of and denial of rights for gay people." That doesn't seem very "pro-gay," though, and Ambinder should explain and defend his use of that phrasing.
See, at some point in the not-so-distant future, the GOP is going to start claiming it likes gay people just fine, and all that discrimination stuff was a loooong time ago. It is going to try to whitewash its history of anti-gay policies and rhetoric. We've seen this happen with other demographic groups the Republicans no longer finds political advantage in explicitly attacking. Few people want to be seen as the last bigot standing in the schoolhouse door.
Reporters like Marc Ambinder shouldn't be in the business of helping that whitewashing along. They shouldn't do people the favor of insisting that they are "pro-gay" when they are actually participating in anti-gay campaigns and using anti-gay rhetoric. Not only does that help people avoid accountability for their positions, it delays progress. If silently feeling bad about denouncing gay marriage is accepted by the media as "pro-gay" behavior, gay people are going to have to wait a little longer for their legal rights than they otherwise would.

Writing in the WashPost, Ana Marie Cox suggests the White House press beat oughta be ditched, or at least drastically reconfigured by news orgs, because WH reporters rarely break news. Instead, they sit around and wait to repeat doled out WH info.
Facing a paucity of real news, reporters turn to trivia, claims Cox:
Here are some stories that reporters working the White House beat have produced in the past few months: Pocket squares are back! The president is popular in Europe. Vegetable garden! Joe Biden occasionally says things he probably regrets. Puppy!
But then Cox, anxious to not offend her fellow Villagers, goes astray [continuing directly]:
It's not that the reporters covering the president are bad at their jobs. Most are experienced journalists at the top of their game.
That circle doesn't square. If WH reporters are wasting their time writing too much about nonsense like pocket squares and puppies and wardrobes and on and on, than they are, by definition, bad at their job. So why won't Cox say so?
Cox also ignores the fact that this never-ending trivial pursuit by the press under Obama is an entirely new, and completely voluntary, phenomena. i.e. WH reporters have routinely been locked out of juicy stories for decades, yet managed to not embarrass themselves the way they do today.
WH journalists are most definitely not at the "top of their game." And that's the real problem with beat.
Here's the (print edition) headline:
Major plans, softer stands: Obama is accepting Washington reality
It's all about how Obama has a habit of capitulating on his agenda; how the White House backs down from confrontation and plays it safe.
Write Jackie Calmes and David Herszenhorn [emphasis added]:
President Obama is well known for bold proposals that have raised expectations, but his administration has shown a tendency for compromise and caution, and even a willingness to capitulate on some early initiatives. It was inevitable that Mr. Obama's lofty pledge to change the ways of Washington would crash into the realities of governing, including lawmakers anxious to protect their constituents and an army of special-interest lobbyists.
I always get suspicious when I see journalists criticizing Obama for saying he claimed as a candidate that he was going to completely reinvent Washington, because honestly I don't remember those radical promises from the campaign trail. (I remember a more general theme of change.) And wouldn't you know it, the Times doesn't bother to provide any actual evidence about how Obama, as a candidate, made sweeping claims about altering government; claims that today have been abandoned.
In fact, the article's examples of Obama backing down on issues seem rather trivial vs. bold. For instance, the Times notes up high in the piece:
Congressional Democrats effectively killed his proposal to slash farm subsidies by nearly $1 billion a year, and forced him to retreat partially on a plan to require private insurers to pick up more of veterans' health costs. They also got him to shelve the idea of a commission to buttress Social Security's finances.
I'm sorry, but the idea that Obama ran for president on the idea that he was going to cut farm subsidies or adjust veterans' health costs doesn't ring true. Instead, those seem like examples of everyday D.C. give-and take.
And then the Times claimed this:
And Thursday, Mr. Obama suggested that he would not fight in Congress to renew an assault weapons ban that expired in 2004. It was the latest example of the pragmatic approach he adopted after winning the presidency by promising to challenge entrenched interests and put the public good ahead of political expedience.
Again, as a candidate did Obama ever announce he'd renew an assault weapons ban? If so, the Times doesn't provide the evidence. And if Obama did not campaign on that issue, how is that an example of him caving in once he became elected?
Ugh. Appearing on NPR to discuss the "tea parties," and too often soft-pedaling Fox News' role (i.e. no mention of the 100-plus "tea party" promos FNC aired), Kurtz suggested that newspapers didn't take the anti-Obama events seriously enough. Kurtz told NPR:
I think the nation's top newspapers, which finally got around to covering them on April 15th, kind of had their heads in the sand, as well.
This reminds us of Neil Cavuto's rhetoric last week when he pre-emptively criticized the "tea party" coverage days before it happened. Here, Kurtz tsk-tsks that newspapers didn't report on the events until they actually happened.

Bijou Cafe serves up new chef
Date: November 2, 2009
by: Loren Mayo | Staff Writer
Following the closing of Canvas Café three months ago, Stephen Phelps has landed another position as executive chef. J.P. Knaggs, owner of the Bijou Café, announced the appointment of Phelps as executive chef Monday, Nov. 2.
Phelps brings with him several signature dishes, including his braised short ribs with black pepper molasses reduction and cauliflower gratin.
"We have been a landmark restaurant in downtown Sarasota for 24 years but felt it was time to add some vitality and innovation to our cuisine," Knaggs said.
Phelps, a Cleveland native, began working in his uncle's restaurant at age 14 and brings a passion for food and wine to the table that Knaggs calls "exhilarating."
"Chef Stephen brings his extraordinary talents to the Bijou while preserving the classic signature dishes the Bijou is known for," Knaggs said.

That's one way to get the last laugh!
New Bachelorette Andi Dorfman delivers one final blow to former flame Juan Pablo Galavis in the first poster to promote her season of the ABC show.
"She's looking for the right Juan," the promo for the hit reality series reads, but "Juan" is crossed out in red and replaced with the word "one."

He's been a matchmaker for dozens of eligible young singles, but as for his own status, Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss is a bachelor no more.
Permalink | Filed Under: Marriage, Weddings, The Bachelor, Mike Fleiss
The Bachelor is known for devising over-the-top romance, but for Renee Oteri, 32, it was her experience after leaving the show that became one for the record books.
In a span of just five months, the real estate agent, who became a fan favorite on Juan Pablo Galavis's season, reunited with her longtime love Bracy Maynard, got engaged, moved to Seattle and tied the knot!
"I'm still walking on air," Oteri tells PEOPLE. "It's surreal. It may seem like it happened so fast, but for me, because I've known him my whole life, it's not."
In fact, Oteri met Maynard over twenty years ago, when the pair were middle school students in North Carolina. "He was my first crush, my first kiss, my first boyfriend," says Oteri. "When I was 12-years-old, I wrote in my diary that I was going to marry Bracy Maynard. It's insane!"
The Bachelor may have had Prince Lorenzo Borghese, but a new reality show has promised women the chance to win the heart of Prince Harry – sort of.
On I Wanna Marry "Harry", 12 American women vie for the affections of a man they believe to be the red-headed royal – who in real life has been getting more serious with girlfriend Cressida Bonas.
But in reality the contestants will be fighting over a Harry look-alike.

That was fast!
Less than one month after Renee Oteri got engaged to Bracy Maynard, the happy couple are now husband and wife.
"And THAT just happened. I married my best friend of 22 years!" wrote newlywed Oteri, captioning an Instagram photo of her smiling, clad in a long white lace gown and holding pink blooms.

It's over for The Bachelor Canada's Brad Smith and fiancée Bianka Kamber.
Kamber, a former girlfriend of Kim Kardashian's ex-husband Kris Humphries, announced the end of her engagement in a joint statement with Canadian Football League slotback Smith, on her Facebook page.
"Although we love each other intensely, we both want different things out of life," they said of their decision to go their separate ways.
It's too soon to tell whether The Bachelor's Juan Pablo Galavis will end up at the altar with Nikki Ferrell, but the pair did end up at a wedding.

Even after 18 seasons of the smash franchise, perhaps no Bachelor has earned as much tabloid ink for his on- (and off-) camera -behavior as Juan Pablo Galavis.
Since this season's premiere, the Venezuelan sports consultant, and single dad to daughter Camila, has been mired in near constant controversy. He has provoked the ire of die-hard fans for some questionable comments off-air as well as the on-air rage of the women he was supposed to be wooing.
His first runner-up, Clare Crawley, upon being let go after Galavis, 32, had reassured her of a possible future together, snapped, "I would never want my children having a father like you." But his decision not to propose to his final pick, pediatric nurse Nikki Ferrell, 27, just may be what pushes many of the show's more than 8 million viewers over the edge.

Juan Pablo Galavis, former pro soccer player, single father and star of this season's The Bachelor, blogged for PEOPLE.com each week about the ladies, the dates and the difficult decisions he faced. You can follow Juan Pablo on Twitter on Twitter and on Instagram @JuanPaGalavis.
My bachelor adventure comes to an end, but now I'm thrilled and so grateful that real life – and the real journey of Nikki, me and our life together – really begins.
As my experience ended, I finally sat down for a second to analyze how everything started and how everything ended. I decided to take the chance to be The Bachelor, even though it was something that I had never thought I would do because I had never seen the show before. I had only watched 20 minutes of one and I thought, "This is so cheesy," but I decided to give it a shot on The Bachelorette.

The New Porch for the Old "Newer" House
Everyone who works at West Wind has formed a close relationship with wood. Most are passionate and take advantage of any opportunity to use and/or work with it. Our Flooring Manger, Joel is no different. In fact he set the bar for everyone else. He's been with us since 1998; still in high school at the time and highly recommended by his Wood Work Teacher. He has spent his entire post-secondary career working towards improving and upgrading his living environment; a few times over.
Here are some pictures of the porch he installed on his current home renovation. Great job! What's next?
Danny Wins Top 3rd Year Apprentice!
Our milling manager, Danny Schaftlein, deserves some major congratulations: he has been awarded Top 3rd Year Apprentice by AWMAC (the Architectural Woodworking Manufacturers Association of Canada).
He is continuing his studies this fall for his fourth year and we are beyond proud of his success so far! Send him your congrats
West Wind's Epic Corporate Camp-Out!
Galiano Island, Montague Harbour
Every year we brave the weather (however wet it may be) and spend two glorious days camping, boating, fishing, relaxing & eating… Good times were had and oh boy were we well fed!
My Old House
Everyone who works at West Wind has formed a close relationship with wood. Most are passionate and take advantage of any opportunity to use and/or work with it. Last year, one of our employee's bought their very first home. Here is the start of his journey. Enjoy and stay tuned for updates.
The house is from the late 1920s, but well maintained over the years. Being mostly original inside and out, a lot of the original character of the house remains. The history is not known for sure, but it is believed that the first owner was a manager or caretaker of the Agriculture Canada's Experimental Plant Farm on East Saanich Road (now known as the Centre for Plant Health). Who knows maybe the old fig tree on the property was planted by the original owner? The house sits on a half acre, surrounded by forest and gardens.
The new owners plan to keep the original character and style of the house intact as much as possible. This started with refinishing the original Douglas-fir flooring. Tearing up the laminate floor and carpet revealed a floor full of character. The whole process felt a lot like an archaeological dig to us.
Danny's Apprenticeship Year 3
Did you know Jan is sponsoring Danny Schaftlein – our Milling Manager – for his Joinery apprenticeship? He has just completed his 3rd year at BCIT and found this year's general focus to be on production methods, curved millwork, and drafting with AutoCAD. His personal project was a mirror frame incorporating laminated and solids curved parts. Can hardly wait to see the finished mirror once the glass is installed. He has maintained a 95% average over the past 3-years. We are very proud of him!!
He spent more time home on the weekends this year and became up close and personal with the BC Ferry schedule….or lack thereof He did say that there were more apprentices representing Victoria this year. Nice to see.
Corporate Camp-Out 2013!
This year's trip was again at Montague Harbour, Galiano Island. A beautiful site and what gorgeous weather we had! Got to witness an amazing sunset and went boating around the islands. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place!

1/2-5/8 inches
Sterling STERLING SILVER: Also known as "Standard Silver," sterling silver is silver alloyed with other metals to increase the hardness and durability. Generally, sterling is 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. Some sterling silver jewelry is plated with 14kt-18kt gold and referred to as "vermeil," or "gold over sterling." Silver
Polished POLISHED: A buffed-out finish used to produce a mirror-like shine.
Wheat WHEAT: A chain formed by oval and twisted oval links woven together in the same direction. The result is a textural look with a semi-rigid structure.
Chain Size:
2.5 mm
Toggle TOGGLE: A two-piece clasp that fastens when a t-shaped or decorative bar is threaded through a circular loop. This stylized clasp type often serves as the centerpiece of a design.
Stone 1:
Peridot PERIDOT: the birthstone of the month of August, peridot is only found in one color: green. Historians are now convinced that some, if not all, of the emeralds that Cleopatra was famous for wearing were not actually emeralds but deep green peridot stones from Egypt. (Color: Green, Quantity: 1, Shape & Cutting Style: Round, Weight: 1.50 carats, Size: 8 mm)
Stone 2:
Quartz QUARTZ: From the icy shimmer of rock crystal quartz to the delicate pink of rose quartz to the moody hues of smoky quartz, this gemstone offers something for everyone. Quartz, found in endless colors and varieties, is a popular choice for bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings. (Color: Multicolored, Quantity: 2, Shape & Cutting Style: Round, Weight: 3.45 ct. t.w., Size: 8 mm)
Stone 3:
Citrine CITRINE: A member of the quartz family, citrine symbolizes cheerfulness and prosperity. Its name is derived from the French word citron meaning lemon. This sunny stone comes in colors from lemon yellow to amber brown, with its coloring agent attributed to iron. Citrine is the birthstone for November. (Color: Yellow, Quantity: 1, Shape & Cutting Style: Round, Weight: 3.00 carats, Size: 10 mm)
Stone 4:
Topaz TOPAZ: Available in a stunning selection of shades, the topaz's sky blue hue is one of the most popular colors for jewelry designs. Once thought to offer protection, today topaz is favored for its durability and affordability. Yellow topaz is the birthstone for November while blue topaz is for December. (Color: Blue, Quantity: 1, Shape & Cutting Style: Round, Weight: 7.50 carats, Size: 12 mm)
Stone 5:
Amethyst AMETHYST: A natural variety of quartz, amethyst ranges in color from deep purple to pale lavender, and even to warm greens. Amethyst has been used during meditation to provide a sense of spiritual balance. Amethyst is the birthstone of February. (Color: Purple, Quantity: 1, Shape & Cutting Style: Round, Weight: 3.00 carats, Size: 10 mm)
Stone 6:
Garnet GARNET: the birthstone of January. One glance at the deep red seeds nestled inside of a pomegranate explains why the word "garnet" comes from the Latin word "granatus," meaning "grain" or "seed." This name was given to the garnet because of its close resemblance to the succulent seed. (Color: Burgundy, Quantity: 1, Shape & Cutting Style: Round, Weight: 2.15 carats, Size: 8 mm)

23 November 2010
Tax academics and practitioners at the National Tax Association's (NTA) 103rd Annual Conference on Taxation persistently pressed that the US needs to start paying attention to VAT or comparable proposals that have been advanced with no avail.
How exactly to implement a VAT in the US is not obvious.
On November 18, former NTA president Harvey Galper, a senior economist for Deloitte and former director of the office of tax analysis at the US Treasury Department, shared his thoughts about a VAT in the US with the audience.
"We need to examine the historical record of VAT elsewhere," said Galper.
"Restoring America's Future" a report released on November 17 by the Bipartisan Policy Centre's Debt Reduction Task Force, might be the closest proposal thus far to what Galper says is needed to stimulate the US economy.
"People say that a national sales tax and a VAT...

Health Issues for Each Aura Color
In my experience over the past 29 years, I've discovered that 98% of all health issues (including weight issues) have a mental & emotional cause behind them.
I've also seen that each aura color personality type has a tendency toward specific health issues and weaknesses when they are unhappy or out of power. And each has specific steps they can take to stay healthy or regain their health. What works for one color doesn't always work for another color.
The predominant aura color personalities that tend to have weight issues are Blues, Yellows, Violets, and Reds. I will post information and helpful tips about these colors in following articles. I hope the information can help some who are stressing over their weight.
Blues & Weight Issues
Share a free sample Relocation Reading. Discover the best locations to live your best life with a free sample of this reading!
You Blues are very loving and emotional personalities. You usually take care of everyone else first and put your own needs last. You value love, spirituality and helping others above all else. When you are insecure, you typically become desperate for love – often staying in unhealthy relationships because you fear being alone, abandoned and unloved; or you fear hurting and abandoning another person. With low self-esteem, you may even find it difficult to receive compliments. When you Blues fear not being loved, you can put on layers of weight for protection, particularly below the waist to protect your highly moral and monogamous nature. Obesity is common among Blues who feel unloved and unlovable.
Since love is your main priority, if you Blues don't have love, it also makes you feel unfulfilled. Eating comfort food can be a way for you to try to fill that emotional emptiness.
Out of power Blues can carry deep feelings of guilt, anger, shame, or inadequacy. Blues are also very moral and monogamous – so sexual guilt can be an issue.
To add to the problem, Blues value spirituality more than physical qualities so you tend to not focus much time, energy, or value on your physical body. Most Blues don't like and therefore are not motivated to exercise. Walking to the mailbox is usually the extent of a Blue's exercise program. You Blues can rationalize and give a thousand reasons why you don't have time to exercise – usually you are too busy taking care of everyone and everything else. And you may feel that if people love you, they should love you as you are – it shouldn't matter about you appearance. After all that's how you love others – unconditionally, the physical doesn't matter.
These are actions you Blues can take to stay healthy and manage your weight:

April Fool's Day is really just an excuse for folks to pull a shenanigan with virtually no consequence for their actions.Well, the Plain Dealer cashed in on this dubious opportunity by running one of the most predictable LeBron James jokes imaginable Monday morning.The Cleveland newspaper ran a headline that read "LEBRON RE-SIGNS WITH CAVS," with a much smaller subheading that read in part "BOY, ARE YOU GULLIBLE!"You may remember that James ditched the Cavs in favor of signing with the Miami Heat in 2010. This came after James spent his first eight seasons in the NBA with the Cleveland franchise.I could be wrong, but I don't their readers found this too amusing.Via USA TODAY

text: Vale and Downland Museum – Local History Series It is Enough, Stay Now Thine Hand! (The 1832 Cholera Outbreak in Wantage) by Alan Rosevear This quotation comes from a wooden plaque, fixed to the north wall of Wantage Church. It symbolises the helplessness of those facing the "Angel of Pestilence" in an age before public health could be taken for granted. Disease and premature death were a constant part of early 19th century life but the Asiatic or malignant cholera seems to have had a particular impact on English society. The measures adopted to deal with this imported pestilence were the forerunner of the great improvement in public health legislation, which was to tame the squalor of Victorian urban life. However, at that time the cause of the disease was a mystery and the practical measures taken against it were a mixture of faith and desperation. It was not until late in the 19th century that Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch showed that "germs" were the cause of many infections, giving some logical basis for the development of public health policy. Nevertheless, cities such as Oxford had for many years taken measures such as removing dirtiness from the streets, controlling the multitude of poor hovels, moving away butchers' slaughter houses, preventing the stagnation of water and improving ventilation. Although "abating these Nuisances" reduced the impact of many common diseases, they were inadequate to cope with this new, virulent plague, caused by intestinal infection with Vibrio cholerae. Spasmodic cholera originated in Asia and the pandemic which reached Britain in 1831 had first flared up in India in 1826. Its westward progress was viewed with "deep concern" by William IV when he opened Parliament in June 1831. Cholera had already wreaked havoc on the continent and the government took rapid action to prevent its spread when the first case was reported in Sunderland on 19th October 1831. An act passed in February 1832 gave local Boards of Health powers to make sanitary provisions in every parish in the land. As early as November 1831, Oxford had set up a Board and made ready nurses and isolated buildings such as the National School Room to cope with the anticipated crisis. The disease appeared in Hagbourne in April 1832 but was initially contained. The main epidemic began in Oxford on June 25th and by the following day the first victim, James Leach, died in Oxford Gaol. He was a resident of Bicester where the disease was already raging. Outbreaks continued spasmodically through to September with up to 8 new cases per day being reported out of a population of 18,144. There was a total of 174 cases of which 86 died: 25 children, 35 men and 26 women. Diagnosis was not always certain, with 772 cases of "diarrhetic distress", some fatal, being reported over the same period. By late September, the tide of pestilence was lapping at the boundaries of Wantage. The correspondent of the Reading Mercury reported that on the 29th of that month: 1 "The disorders usually prevalent at this season of autumn have assumed a more than commonly serious character in the town of Wantage. Its vicinity to Oxford, where the cholera has so lately disappeared, combined with one or two deaths from diarrhoea, in the early part of the week, very properly induced the inhabitants to adopt, the precautionary measures of inspecting and abating nuisances, which have too long suffered to accumulate in the closer parts of the town; and as there has been no new case even of suspicion within 24 hours preceding the date of our correspondent's letter, we are not without hope, that part of our County may still be spared the awful visitation." Wantage depended for its wealth on market trade with the surrounding villages. Anything which interfered with this must have been of great concern to the business community. The attitude of George Woodward in his letters from East Hendred in the late 18th century indicate the seriousness of an epidemic on trade: he avoided visiting Wantage while smallpox raged there. Hence, one must suspect that the Reading Mercury correspondent was concerned with building public confidence when on October 6th he reported: We are happy to state that the circulating reports of the devastation of the cholera at Wantage have been most grossly exaggerated. The earliest cases that occurred were on the 27th of September since which period the total number of deaths has been 14; and the daily numerical return an the Friday evening was as follows; new cases 0, died 0, remaining 4. The ravages of the disease were confined to Mill St and with 3 or 4 exceptions, to its and southern side; all the inhabitants of which side, by the prompt exertions of the Board of Health, were to be removed to a House of Observation in the course of yesterday, in order to give time for a more complete purification of the dwellings than could be conveniently effected while the families remained in them. There have been a few cases of cholera in the hamlet of Grove, and those who have died of that disease have very properly been interred in the burial ground of their new chapel, although at present an unconsecrated spot." By October 20th the correspondent was able to continue his confidence building propaganda with a short report: The last week's report of the Cholera cases at Wantage was unfortunately mislaid. We are happy, however, to state that, the favourable account then given is borne out by the experience of another week. No new cases, nor deaths from that fearful disease has occurred for the last 10 days. The fair on Wednesday was but scantily attended, but the neighbourhood is regaining its confidence and we trust the tradesmen will now find their business proceeding in the usual train." There was no further mention of the disease by this correspondent. The individuals concerned were: William Blackwell 50 yrs John Hobbs 72 yrs Jane Broad 69 yrs Henry Hulcup 4 yrs James Green 1 yr Simeon Lee 5 yrs Martha Giles 7 yrs Ruth Pert 48 yrs Lucy Gregory 42 yrs Sarah Wells ? William Gregory 45 yrs Thomas Wenman 71 yrs Charles Grigg 4 yrs Robert William 5 yrs William Hale 27 yrs John Williams 78 yrs Sarah Hine 46 yrs Sarah Whitfield 80 yrs John Hine 45 yrs 2 None of these appear to be from the wealthier sections of Wantage society and the composition of the group is similar to that in Oxford. They are in general the more vulnerable individuals, children and older adults from a number of different families. Cholera is a water-borne infection and so contamination of water supplies coming from above Mill St must be suspected as the source of the epidemic. The death rate of 19 out of a population of 2,507 is significantly higher than in Oxford and even if 3 of these were in fact in Grove (population 520), it still represents a traumatic experience for a small town. An examination of deaths during the period 1831/2 (see the graph below) shows that the epidemic had a marked impact on mortality, although death rates in general were high throughout 1832. This was a period of poor agricultural prices and the Mercury reported in March 1832 that "72 persons of the labouring classes" had recently embarked on a coalboat for Bristol, to ship thence for the Canadas and N. America and that " several persons of the same class in Wantage have expressed an ardent desire to follow them". Cholera must have been the final straw for some! MONTHLY TOTALS OF DEATHS IN WANTAGE DURING THE CHOLERA EPIDEMIC Further epidemics were to follow in the middle decades of the century and it seems likely that this community was not safe until the piped water supply was introduced in 1876. Despite the use of Beaufoy's concentrated disinfecting solution of soda of lime (advertised in Feb 1832 to combat Cholera morbus) and the use of mustard potions, the populace were generally helpless in the face of this disease. It struck worthy and the unworthy with equal disregard for "fairness". A passage from Rev Thomas' book on the progress of the disease in Oxford encapsulates this perplexed view; "though filth, noisome smells and close damp and confined situations are hazardous especially when combined with irregularities of life and decayed and vitiated constitution of body, the pleasant abode, neat and cleanly chamber and well ordered household, decencies and delicacies and purities of virtuous domestic life present no insurmountable barrier to the inroads of Cholera ". AIDS is not the first plague to send a shiver down the spines of all classes and conditions of men! 3 References consulted: Memorials of the Malignant Cholera in Oxford: MDCCCXXXII by the Rev Vaughn Thomas, print by W Baxter, Oxford, 1835.

On Aye, the Lou representative brags about getting "action" from women 10 years older, as well as threatening to bang on those who look down on him; not exactly material accustomed from a 19 year old. Although this single choice looks to be a last-ditch effort to sell Notebook Paper to the "gangsta rap" audience, Huey might be trying too hard to go hard.

Bordeaux-Begles pulled off a hugely surprising result when they ran in five tries to defeat league leaders Toulon 41-0.
Ole Avei, Louis-Benoit Madaule, Matthew Clarkin, Lachlan Munro and Jefferson Poirot scored the tries against a Toulon side that contained Jonny Wilkinson, Matt Giteau and Steffon Armitage. The win is the south-west team's first in four months and allows them to climb out of the relegation zone.
Reigning champions Toulouse also slumped to a defeat to lowly Agen who finished with a 22-9 victory. Scrum-half Alexis Bales and Gert Muller crossed for tries, while fly-half Conrad Barnard landed three penalties.
Castres kept up their push for the top spots as they grabbed five tries when they saw off Stade Francais 44-13. Centre Romain Cabannes crossed twice and there were scores for fullback Romain Martial, wing Marc Andreu and prop Saimone Taumoepeau.
Bayonne meanwhile beat Perpignan 13-10, while Grenoble scored four tries they saw off Mont de Marsan with a 32-14.
On Friday Racing Metro inflicted a second consecutive defeat on Clermont Auvergne when they won a dour 12-6 contest.
Racing's Jonathan Wisniewski and Clermont's Brock James both kicked a brace of penalties, so that by just past the hour mark the teams were tied on 6-6. However, with Clermont beginning to tire having lost prop Raphael Chume to the sin-bin, Racing's pack began to put pressure on their counterparts and the result was two more penalties that Wisniewski kicked to wrap up the win.
