There never was a Set of such wicked, ignorant young Fellows under these unhappy Circumstances since my Knowledge of the Place. Most of them indeed attended Prayers when Sickness did not hinder, but seem'd to give little Heed or Attention, as appear'd by their Behaviour, till within a few Days of their Execution, when it pleased God that they might see into the Evil of their Ways, and Reflections on their former Provocations of the Almighty to suffer the Vengeance of his Laws to fall upon their Heads, produced a different and better Behaviour in most of them, and they began to seek God'sFavour and Pardon, by meer earnest Prayer, and calling upon him.

1. WALTER VAUGHAN , who had been ill ever since he was convicted, died on the Evening of the same Day as the Report was made .
2. JOB SAVAGE , aged 24, was born at Reading in Berkshire, of Parents whose Circumstances were very slender, and could afford him no Education. When he was about thirteen Years of Age, they made a Cabin-Boy of him, and afterwards he was Apprentice to a Master of a West-India Trader ; and he says, he served seven Years faithfully, and to the Satisfaction of his Master. The Sea he has followed ever since, being scarce ever Ashore, from the Time of his being bound out Apprentice, above a Fortnight together, but constantly kept himself in Employ.
About a Twelvemonth ago, he says, he received Prize-Money, which having thrown away, as Sailor s generally do, in drinking, and Company with lewd Women, he got a Voyage to the West-Indies again, and was out about eight Months. Since his Return, it seems, he has worked as a Labourer , near Shadwell, with Ropemakers and Coopers, where he fell in Company with Carey, and one
Mulliner, not yet taken. These two, he says, he understood since had been old Thieves; and one Day as they were idling away their Time, and drinking from House to House, they proposed to Savage to go along with them, in order to break open a certain House they then told him of, but he has now forgot whose and where particularly. He says, he returned for Answer, that he would have nothing to do with them, nor their wicked Designs, but as long as he could work to earn a Penny, to buy a Bit of Bread, he was determined to get an honest Livelihood.
However, it so fell out about a Fortnight after, being all three again got out upon the Loose, they kept themselves warm with Gin for two or three Days together, having always a Quart Bottle along with them, which they did not suffer to be long empty nor full. Then Savage was as ripe for Mischief a the worst of them; and on Sunday, the 15th of April, they rambled all Day towards Whetstone and Barnet, with Intent to rob, or do any Mischief that fell in their Way; but no Opportunity presented, and they lay down at Night in the Hedges: But on Monday Morning early, the 16th, they were up, and looking out sharp, met with Richard Goldington, for robbing whom they were convicted.
He protested, as a dying Man, that he was never out upon such wicked Practices before this Time, when they robbed one Man of 4 s. and another of 1 s. before they met Goldington, and this was all he ever was concerned in.
3. ANDREW CAREY , aged 32, was born in the Kingdom of Ireland, and bred a Papist ; he was a Seaman for several Years, and when Ashore, worked by Day in Ropewalks , and at Night, idle, loose, and disorderly Houses were his Resort, either with his wonted Companions in Wickedness, or seeking young, ignorant, idle Lads, to lead astray, and draw in to his wicked Purposes. This is said to be too well known of him in the Neighbourhood of Stepney, Whitechapel, and Shadwell, which are infested with too many idle vagabond Fellows. He once said indeed that he had been a very wicked Man, and had committed divers Robberies with different People, and at different Places; but farther added not, only with Respect to this particular Robbery, for which he was convicted with Savage, which he could not but own, that he took two Guineas, and Savage five Guineas.
As soon as they had committed the Robbery, they took to the Woods, but soon came out again into the high Road, and ask'd the Way to London. People coming along, and being told by the Prosecutor that he had been robb'd, went after them, and presently took them. When they were brought to the Prosecutor's House at Hendon, Savage's Pistol and five Guineas were discovered, three in his Pocket, and two in a Chew of Tobacco in his Mouth; and, being put into a Coach and four, they were genteely escorted to Justice Fielding's, who committed them to Newgate. Savage said, he never should have thought of such Things, but for his two Accomplices; was verry sorry, and seemed heartily to repent, that he suffered himself to be concerned with them in their wicked Purposes,to the Dishonour of God, and his own Ruin. He was a young Fellow, very ignorant, and therefore the more easily led aside, and deserving Christian Pity. Carey died a Papist .
4. WILLIAM GIDDIS , aged 26, was born in St. Martin's Lane, Westminster, and was left to the wide World very young, without Education or Trade. His Mother died, he says, when about seven, and his Father left him, or turn'd him out of Doors, when about nine Years old. The first Business he got into, was to tend Horses , and ride Postilion , and passed his Time a Year or two in this Employ. Then he was Servant to a Gentleman, with whom he went and liv'd in Scotland six Months; and when that Time was expired, he left that Service, not meeting such Treatment as he hoped, and was promised; and having made a previous Bargain with his Master to return him again to London in case he did not approve of the Service after six Months Trial, he was sent back to Berwick, and there was half a Guinea paid for his Passage by Sea to London, where he shortly arrived.
The Business he entered into upon his Return was a Coach-driver , having hired himself out to be a yearly Servant with a Person that keeps Hackney Coaches near St. James's Church , Westminster, with whom he lived honestly three or four Years, and drove some worthy Gentlemen, from whom he received then good Encouragement, and Assistance now under his unhappy Confinement: Then he removed to Chick-Lane, so to Cold-Bath-Fields, and Hatton-Garden-Wall, in which three last Services, he says, he began to learn naughty Tricks, those Places being too well known to be common Haunts of Thieves and Pick-pockets. At last he went to live with one in Marlborough-Street, with whom he lived some Time, and among his Companions, and Brethren of the Whip, got the Nickname of Marlborough Jack.
He might have lived very well and comfortable by his Business, but his natural Disposition being changed, and corrupted by the evil Company he had lately been too conversant with, he run himself headlong into the Acquaintance of young Thieves and Gamblers, and became as bad as any, and from one Wickedness to another, has work'd his own Ruin. He says, 'twas about five or six Weeks ago since he took to these Ways, or committed any Robbery, and no longer, and in that Space of Time he has had a Share in about eight or ten different Robberies, all done at or near the Long Field behind Montague-House . Lewis, May and Hamilton were his Companions most of the Time, and Gin, he says, was the Liquor that gave them Spirits and Courage to be so audacious. Scarce any of them, one would think, were sit to rob a Hen-roost, and yet such little Urchins as these were a Terror to honest Men following their lawful Callings. He was a young Fellow naturally of a gentle and good Disposition, behaved becoming his unhappy Circumstances, and died penitent, and sorry for what he had done, and prayed to be forgiven by God for Christ's Sake, in whom he trusted, and had Hope.
5. HENRY SMITH , aged 27, was born in Northamptonshire, and his Parents dying when he was very young, he came up to London when about nine Years of Age. Being come to Town, he lived with an Uncle who let out Coaches, and kept an Alehouse, who brought him up to what Business he had for him to do, viz. to draw Beer , and drive a Coach. With him, he says, he constantly lived for about twelve Years, having his Board for his Labour, Meat, Drink, Washing, and Lodging, but no Wages; and being a loose, unlucky Youth, his Uncle wanted to get rid of him the first Opportunity that presented. He had the good Luck to hear of a Lady at West Drayton in Middlesex that wanted a Coachman, and the Uncle got Smith recommended to her. He was taken into her Service in Capacity of Coachman , and lived with her about two Years, till she thought fit to lay down the Equipage, and then he returned to London.
Upon his Return, he followed the Business of a Hackney Coachman again, and served different Masters. He says he kept close to Business, and got an honest Livelihood, till April the 9th last past; that Evening Giddis came to him in the Stable where he lived, and when he came, Smith says he was lying upon a Bundle of Hay, to sleep off the Effects of the Day's Drinking, having been that Day hard at it. Giddis, he says, told him what he was going about, and asked him, why he would be idle, when so much Money was to be got? And so they presently agreed to go together; and they continued together from Monday Evening, the 9th of April, till Wednesday Night, the 11th, when they were both taken, having in that Time committed only three Robberies, in and about the Long Field behind Montague House . The Fact for which they were convicted both Giddis and Smith did own, but said, the Prosecutor did not do right in being so favourable to Beesley, who was tried with them for the same Fact, and so severe against them; for that Beesley both stopt him first, and took away what was taken from him, which was but three Halfpence, and he swore to Two-pence Halfpenny. Being advised that the Matter was not what they took, but the Design they were upon, they were content to own their Sentence and Fate were deservedly due, and their own seeking. Smith behaved very well, appeared very penitent, and hoped that God would be merciful unto him for Christ's Sake.
6. JAMES NICHOLSON , aged 25, was born in the Parish of St. Martin's in the Fields, of very honest and creditable Parents, who died when he was young. His real Name was Sherman, but he called himself Nicholson, after the Name of the Person that married his Mother, who dying, left him to his Care, a Person not inferior in Honesty and Credit to his own Parents; and who, with a Heart full of Love and Tenderness to him, endeavoured to bring him up in all Godliness and Honesty. He put him to School, and at proper Years bound him Apprentice to a Periwig-Maker , with whom he served five Years; but having committed some Misdemeanor, his Master was resolved to put him away, and did so. He was afterwards with a Baker , and then with a Brewer , and none of these Things quite
hit his Temper. This Friend of his gave him the best Advice in his Power, and was willing to try every Thing to fix him to an honest Way of getting his Bread, but all in vain; in order to which, he had procured the Favour of a Gentleman to take him for his Servant, and a Day was appointed for the Gentleman to have a Sight of the young Man, and to talk with him; but before the Day came he eloped, and his Friend never saw him after, till he received a Message from him in the Cells in Newgate. He was so unhappy as never to conform to the Advice of his real and true Friends, he would give them the Hearing, but never shew any Willingness to comply with their Directions for his Good. Being out of all Business, he fell into bad Company, and since Christmas last has followed such wicked Ways, as have brought him to this unhappy End. He has committed about five Robberies, and for that he was convicted for, he acknowledges he deserves to die. He was quite resigned to the Will of God, and the Law; and some Endeavours of saving his Life having been made, though too late, of which when he was informed, he answered, he was glad to die now, least he might in Time to come do the same, or worse. He professed to die in Peace with his Prosecutrix, and with all the World, and desired to commit his Soul into the Hands of his Saviour Jesus Christ.
7. JOHN GROVES , aged 35, was born in Dorsetshire, where he lived with his Parents till he was about twenty Years of Age, at which Time he listed in the second Regiment of Guards, and has been a common Soldier ever since. His Behaviour was always well, and he was Abroad some Years during the late War. He much lamented his Case that he had not rather died in the Bed of Honour, having survived all those Dangers, to come to such an ignominious Fate.
He was very weak after Conviction, and desired to die rather than live, but said the Prosecutrix had sworn very hard against him, as well as the other Evidences, for that he neither did, nor intended a Robbery. The Case as he set forth, and he always said the same to me to the last, was as follows, viz. That he had been that Day abroad with the Prosecutrix and some others, Men and Women, that they had drank pretty freely, and that he had gone so far towards treating the Women, as to pawn his Shirt, which he wanted the next Day to go upon Guard with. When he considered this, he would fain have redeemed his Shirt, but as none of the Company had any Money, he made free and took her Cloak, and said he would pledge that to get his Shirt, and leave it in Pawn till he could redeem it.
However, he went to his Quarters that Night, with the Cloak in his Possession, and thought no more about it, till the Evidences had cooked up the Affair, and made a Robbery of it. He said also, that what he confessed to the Justice, was only the taking the Cloak, but he had no Thoughts of doing it in the Way of Robbery, but that the Woman should have her Cloak, and no Harm he thought had been done. As it had pleased God to suffer him to fall under this Calamity, he was very well content and resigned, andbegged of God to forgive him, as he did all the World. He knew not but it might be an Affliction from the Lord, for the Offences of his past Life, as he had been a wicked young Man; and said, he hop'd to make such Use of his Punishment now, as that his Soul might be happy hereafter.
8. THOMAS PERRY , aged 30, was born in Flintshire in Wales, and was bound Apprentice to a Shoemaker , with whom he served seven Years, he says, duly and truly; but when his Time was out, not liking that Business, he went to Sea, and has been in the King's and Privateers Service during the late Wars, having both Wages and Prize-Money due, but forfeited by his Conviction. He says, he has not been in Wales since he first left that Country, nor in England above twice or three Times, for this ten Years past, and that but for a short Space at a Time. The greatest Offence he could charge himself with, and had to answer for, he said, was Drunkenness, to which he had been much addicted both at Sea and Ashore; but that he never wronged Man, Woman, or Child, to his Remembrance, of any Thing.
As to the Ticket, for forging of which he was convicted, as he said at first, so he continued to declare to the last; that if it was a forged Ticket, it was none of his doing, but that it was the very same he had of the Captain's Clerk. He wanted to go from the Ship, but was refus'd, unless he could get another Man, which he said he contrived to do; and then being about to be discharged, he applied for a Ticket, which was given him by the Captain's Clerk, who asked him to sell it, and told him he must loose 3 s. and 6 d. in the Pound for prompt Payment. Perry said, he refused to sell it, and purposed to take a Voyage to the Banks of Newfoundland, thinking that by the Time he returned, the Ticket might be payable, and then he should receive the Whole, and he pretended to choose to stay till his Return; upon which, says he, the Captain's Clerk bid me take it, and go about my Business, and be d - n'd. The Account he gave of himself was, that he could neither write, nor read Writing, and knew not but that it was a good Ticket, till he heard it was refused at the Office. When I told him, that the Captain's Clerk swore in his Evidence, that he neither gave him, nor any one else that Ticket, he was accused for, he said, he had no other from him, nor could he be imposed upon by any one else, for it was never out of his Hand, till he sent it to Elizabeth Stockwell, in order to pay her Debt. This is all the Account he wou'd give of himself, and this Affair, nor would he by any Means or Persuasions own that Fact in any other Light. He appeared very Penitent, and professed himself very willing to die, hoping that Jesus Christ would receive him to Mercy.
9. WILLIAM ARCHER , aged 42, was born in Hertfordshire, and bred a Butcher , which Trade he followed in White-Cross-Street for many Years, till the Time of his being taken up for the Fact he was afterwards convicted for. He was a Man of a most surly and morose Temper, and of a malicious Heart and Intention; and by his whole
Behaviour in Life, before this wicked Act was done by him, (as his Neighbours can testify) and all along to his Death, as appeared to every one that saw him under Confinement. He valued not what Mischief he did to revenge himself on any one that should do any Thing he did not like with respect to him, tho' never so lawful.
And the Cause of this barbarous Treatment of his Neighbour appears to be a Resentment he had taken up at him, for that he being a Man of more Conscience, and greater Regard to the Laws, than Archer was, had laid an Information against him, which was followed by an Indictment for vending his Goods on the Sabbath, as was his constant Practice, to the Nusance of the whole Neighbourhood. Upon this Account Archer vow'd Revenge, and was heard by several the Day the Fact was done to say, that he would be revenged on Higgins before Night. Accordingly what does he do, but watched an Opportunity, and from his one Pair of Stairs Window maliciously levelled a Gun at him, as he was sitting in his own Shop minding his Business, and little suspecting the Mischief intended him; as the poor Man sat with his Back towards him, he fired his Gun and shot him in the Back of the Head, and in his Neck, and in a most dangerous and desperate Manner, insomuch that a 100 Shot were taken out of those Parts. When he had done, he rejoiced at his Wickedness, bragg'd of being a good Marksman, and with bitter Curses said, he seldom miss'd his Mark, nor was he sorry for what he had done.
He would never say any Thing as to the Fact himself, nor scarce tell his Name, but said, he was to lose his Life for what he had done, and what had any one to do with what he had done. His Behaviour at the Time of Conviction, and since to his Death, was very insolent and daring, and surprized every one that saw him. A Night or two before Execution, there was a great outcry of Murder in his Cell, occasioned by his drawing a Knife at one of his Fellow Sufferers, that lay with him, and swearing bitterly that he would kill him, only because he would not leave off Reading, and listen to his Nonsence, and wicked Conversation. And the Night immediately before his Execution, being left in the Cell by himself, it not being safe to leave any Body with him, his Bed was set on Fire, as was greatly believed, with Design, having been heard to say, he would not be hanged; but the Smoke discovered it, and Assistance coming, it was put out, and he was left without Candle. He continued obstinate to the End, and could scarce be prevailed on to do any Thing towards making an Atonement for the Sins of his past Life, tho' they were many and great, this not being the first Time he has seen the inside Walls of Newgate. A more obstinate, hardened Wretch I never saw, and every one that beheld him, was surprized to see that a Man could, by his brutish Behaviour, so near degrade himself to the Beast.
10. MICHAEL NUNNAN , about 40 Years of Age, was born in Ireland of very honest
Parents, who brought him up in the Roman Catholick Persuasion, and took Care of his Education, by sending him to proper Schools, to be educated in Reading, Writing, and Accounts, till he was of Age to be put Apprentice , when they bound him to a sort of Ivory Turner and Inlayer , whom he served some Years; but getting acquainted with a Set of young Men in his own Neighbourhood, who lov'd Drinking, Whoring, and other Vices, much better than Work, he frequently left his Master's Business to associate with them, which occasioning a Quarrel between him and his Master, as well as his Parents, he abruptly left them, and came for London; how he has behaveed, or in what Manner he has lived since he came to this City, he will not declare, is altogether silent on that Head, only says he sometimes work'd for the Jewellers ; but being questioned how and in what Manner, his Answer was, 'twas no Matter to any Body, he only was to give an Account for his good or bad Deeds, and would not therefore acquaint any Body about his Circumstances. In Regard to the Fact for which he suffered, it was so plainly proved, that he could not even make any Evasion relating thereto, it being suggested to him, that as it did not appear he had any regular Occupation to pursue, and that he must have followed that Trade a long Time. He again replied, as before, it was no Matter to any Body, he should not give any Account of it. So that, upon the Whole, it appears natural to conclude, that he must for many Years past have followed that, or some other wicked Business, for a Support, rather than by honest Industry gain a Livelihood. However, he seemed to behave penitent for one under his Circumstances, own'd the Justness of his Sentence, and said, he died in Peace with all Mankind.
11. JOHN CLARKE , aged 29, said at first he was born in Lancashire, but at length confessed he was born in the Kingdom of Ireland, of reputable Parents, but as they knew nothing of his Misfortunes, he was determined to conceal their particular Place of Abode, in order still to keep it a Secret from them. He says, they gave him a pretty good Education, and would have put him to any Trade he would have made Choice of; but being a wild Youth, and of a roving Mind, nothing would serve him but the Sea, and accordingly he ran away from his Parents, about 16. Years ago, and served on Board several Merchant-Ships , as well as King's Ships, and after the Commencement of the War, served at different Times on Board several Privateers, from some of which, he said, he was entitled to Prize-Money. After the War was over, he went to Liverpool, where had a Wife, with whom he lived till all his ready Cash was spent, and he then determined to come to London, in Hopes to receive more, on Account of Prizes taken by the Privateers he had been on Board of. But being disappointed when he came here, Necessity drove him to the wicked Practice of robbing, in which he was at last overtaken, and justly brought to his End. It was very remarkable, that he several Times mentioned his having done some wicked Thing about five Years ago, which he said was not a Robbery, nor a Murder, but something that he had been
ever since sorry for, and that he believed all his Misfortunes were owing to that; for though he had at all Times strove hard to get an honest Livelihood, he never could, nothing having prospered with him ever since. His Breast laboured with the Secret, which he sometimes seemed inclineable to reveal; but notwithstanding I several Times urged him to it, he never would, but carried it with him to his Grave.
12. THOMAS MAY , aged 24, was born in the Parish of St. Giles's, and lived with his Father, who was in good Credit and Reputation, and kept a Timber-Yard in Great Wild-Street. He was a very indulgent Parent to him, though he was always a wild and unlucky Youth, and scarce to be kept under any Restraint. About nine Years ago he left his Father, who is since dead, and went to live with a Gentleman, whose Stables were in the Neighbourhood. The Gentleman took a Fancy to him, seeing him a brisk, active Youth, and he liking the Terms of the Service, lived with him in Capacity of a Coachman , and to look after the Horses.
For four Years past, he said, he had been an Hackney Coachman , but always had an Itch to loose and disorderly Company, and has been acquainted with Lewis for some Time, had committed Robberies and other Disorders with him before he was first apprehended, and went to see him for old Acquaintance Sake when in Clerkenwell New-Prison , and there agreed to return to their old Works as soon as he got his Discharge. They met accordingly, and left not one another's Company till they fled to Cover to hide themselves from their Pursuers, but were in a short Time overtaken. Lewis being taken in Newtoner's Lane, they went after May, and took him too in St Giles's, at a House of ill Fame, the Crown and Anchor, with the Prosecutor's Rings about him.
He was a young Fellow of an undaunted, surly Disposition, and not to be prevailed on by any Means, gentle or rough, to do any Thing but what he thought proper. He said, if he had lived longer, he was sure he should be much worse, and sink deeper in the Gulf of Wickedness; so that he was not very sorry for being overtaken now by Justice; what he had done he was to suffer for, and no one had any Thing to do with it further in this World. He denied not being guilty of the four several Robberies he was indicted for last Sessions, hoped to be forgiven of God, and professed to die in Charity with all the World.
13. THOMAS LEWIS , aged 22, was born in the Parish of St. Martin's in the Fields, of Parents in a very bad Station of Life, who died when he was young, and he had nobody to assist him in bringing him into the World to get an honest Livelihood. When very young he committed some Wickedness, for Fear of Punishment for which he was glad to get off the Ground, and went to Sea. He says, he has been 7 Years at Sea in the King's and Merchant's Service , and came Home last March was Twelvemonth; when not having any Friends nor Parents to go to, and being out of all Business, he was at a Loss what to do with his Time.
With little Money to spend, which burnt in his Pocket, he fell into bad Company, and has been himself a bad and dangerous Man for a long Time.
A great Number of Robberies he had been concerned in, of some of which we have an Account, but not near the Number he has had a Hand in committing. He was in Custody before February Sessions, and admitted then an Evidence against several others of his Accomplices, viz. Stanton, who had his Sentence changed to Transportation, and Oldfield, Bushy, and Russel, who were executed in March last. Having been the Means of convicting them, he was by Law entituled to it, and accordingly set at Liberty. Also
In February Sessions there was one Pendergrass indicted for a Highway Robbery, and the Prosecutor swore very positively to him. When he was put upon his Defence, he desired Lewis might be called, who came into the Court, and swore that himself, Stanton, and others, committed the same Robbery, and that Pendergrast was not in the Company, upon which he was acquitted. The World not being very well satisfied as to this Matter, I was desired to enquire particularly of Lewis before his Death about it, which I did several Times by myself, and in the Hearing of others, and he always declared, as he was a dying Man, that the Case was as above. He was no sooner set at Liberty, but he returned to the old Trade, as the Sow to her Wallowing in the Mire, and committed Robberies that very Night, and so continued to do till in a short Time after he was taken again, and committed to Newgate. He was a young Fellow of an undaunted Spirit, though when some of his old Acquaintance came to take Leave of him, when he got into the Cart at Newgate, he wept heartily, seemed penitent, and died resigned.
14. BENJAMIN CAMPBEL HAMILTON , aged 17, was born, as he said, in the Parish of St. Andrew's, Holbourn; by this Name he was called, and indicted, but it is generally said, and believed, that he was the Son of Jones, alias Harpur, who was executed in March for picking the Pocket of General St. Clair of a Gold Watch. He never said any Thing particular of his Parents, not so much as whether dead or alive; but if it was as generally believed, he was, we are sure, thorough bred; Jones, alias Harpur, having been a noted Pickpocket and Gambler before he was born or begotten.
Neither did he deny being concerned in the four several Robberies for which there were Indictments found last Sessions against him, and his Accomplices, but was silent as to any Thing else. After Conviction he pretended to be ill, and confined himself to his Cell till the Warrant came down; since which he came to Chapel, and seemed to have Regard to Prayer; and whether it was owing to the Levity of his youthful Blood, or what else, I will not pretend to determine, at all other Times, even to his Death, he shewed most remarkable Signs of Hardiness and Unconcern; nor did it seem at all to be forc'd, but he talked to the Mob, and to his Fellow-Sufferers in the Cart, with as much Ease and Unconcern as a Man would do that was going to a Jubilee, and continued so till within a few Minutes of his Death.
An exact Account of the Robberies committed by Thomas Lewis and the rest of his Companions; particularly the Manner of their committing the Robberies on the Lord Bury, and the Countess of Albemarle; that on Mr. Beard; on the Dean of Peterborough, and many others.
LEWIS began very early to accustom himself to picking Pockets, in which he was very expert, though about four Months ago he was caught by a Gentleman whose Pocket he had picked in Fleet-street; who directly seized him, and forced him into a Shop, but notwithstanding all the Care possible was taken by sending for proper Officers, &c. he was rescued by his Companions, and carried off triumphantly. Though this narrow Escape gave him a Disgust for the present, against the Trade of picking Pockets, yet it did not eradicate from his Heart the Spirit of Thieving; for a very few Nights after, he and three more of his Companions set out on their villainous Expeditions, and the first Object that presented to their View, was a Man at the Bottom of Featherstone's Buildings in Holbourn, whom they commanded to stand and deliver; he appeared a little in Liquor, notwithstanding which he endeavoured to act on the defensive, and drew a Knife; but they tripped up his Heels, and presenting a Pistol to his Head, he remained peacable, and they took from him a Silver Watch, Eighteen-pence, and some Halfpence.
They proceeded from thence up Holbourn, and turning down Drury-lane, they perceived a Chair, which they determined to attack; accordingly one of them stopt the foremost Man, and presenting a Pistol, commanded him to set down, to put out his Lanthorn, and hold his Hat before his Eyes, which he did; another went to the Man behind, ordering him to hold his Hat before his Face, while the other two commanded the Gentleman in the Chair (who proved to be Mr. Beard, belonging to the Theatre Royal in Drury-lane) to deliver his Watch and Money; accordingly Mr. Beard gave them about four Shillings and his Silver Watch, and they ordered the Chairmen to go on: This was between one and two in the Morning.
After they had robbed Mr. Beard they proceeded up Drury-lane again, and so on to Great-Russel-street in Bloomsbury, till they came over against Montagu House, where they stopt two Women, whom they robbed of about four Shillings each, and some Halfpence, and a Handkerchief with a Mince Pye tied in it, which they directly eat; they then turned down a Street facing Montagu House, where they stopt two Men, and presenting their Pistols, commanded them to stand and deliver; from one they took Eighteen-pence, and his Hat and Wig; the other, who appeared like a Journeyman Carpenter, pulled out a Gimblet, and swore that was all he had in the World; on which they let them pass, and they proceeded on, and stopt a Coach near Bloomsbury Church , in which was only a Lady; on their presenting a Pistol to her she screamed out violently, on which one of them immediately stopt her Mouth with a Handkerchief, threatening instantly to blow out her Brains, if she did not quietly deliver; she immediately put her Hand into her Pocket, and gave them about four or five Shillings, saying 'twas all she had, and they bid the Coachman drive on. This was the last Robbery they committed that Night.
The next Night they met again, and going down the Fleet-Market, they attacked two Men, to whom they presented their Pistols, and with a Volley of Oaths commanded them to stand and deliver; from one of'em they took 5 Guineasand an Half in Gold, some Silver, and two Silver Groats; from the other they took a middle-siz'd Silver Watch, with a scollop'd Dial-plate, and about 30 s. in Silver; as they were taking his Money they perceived the Watchman coming, on which they tore out Pocket and all; while they were committing this Robbery, a Fellow came up and asked what they were about, on which one of them presenting his Pistol, bid him walk off, or he was a dead Man, which he very prudently did.
The same Night they stopt a Chair in Knaves-Acre, wherein was a Gentleman whom they supposed was a Foreigner; they took from him a Purse with about twenty Guineas, and a Gold Watch, finely chased, with the Story of Mars and Venus, and a China Dial Plate, and then ordered the Chairmen to go on. From thence they went to Monmouth-street, at the Top of which they stopt another Chair, and from a Gentleman therein took four Guineas, while four Watchmen stood at the same Time staring at them; three of them went up to the Watchmen, with their Pistols in their Hands, threatning to blow out their Brains if they did not immediately go about their Business, which they very quietly did.
The same Night they stopped a Coach near the End of Great-Russel-street, Bloomsbury, in which was Lord Bury, the Countess of Albemarle, and another Lady. There were still five of them in Company, two of them went into the Coach, while the others guarded the Coachman and Footman; they presented their Pistols, and demanded their Watches and Money, when Lord Bury desired they would take away their Pistols and not frighten the Lady, and they would give them what they had; and accordingly they did, and they gave them a Gold chased dumb repeating Watch, two Rings, some Gold and Silver, and they suffered the Coach to pass on.
A little while after they stopt a Chair in Kingsgate-street, near Red-lyon-Square, in which was the Dean of Peterborough; they demanded his Watch, Money, Rings, &c. he gave them some Silver, and his plain Gold Watch, with a Gold Chain and three Gold Seals to it, one of which had lost the Stone; in the Robbery one of their Pistols loaden with a Ball, went off by Accident, so near the Gentleman's Head as to set fire to his Wig: This terribly alarmed them, and they immediately made off, believing they had absolutely killed him.
They were so much affrighted at this Accident that they attempted no more robbing that Night, but came directly to Cheapside, where they took Coach to Houndsditch, and went from thence to the House of a Jew of their Acquaintance, where they staid till Seven in the Morning, drinking Gin, Chocolate, &c. when they agreed to sell to the Jew the three Gold Watches, the Pinchbeck Watch, and all their Appurtenances, for 21 Guineas; he not having Money himself, was obliged to go to his Brother, whom he brought with him in about an Hour, who paid the Money, which they divided, as well as the Money they had got besides, and parted.
The Sunday Evening after, the same five went out again, all armed with Pistols, and coming into the Long Fields they ranged themselves a-breast in a most daring audacious Manner, with their Pistols in their Hands, determining to let none escape that came that Way whom they could manage: Their first Prey was four Gentlemen, to whom they gave the Word of Command, and took from one of them a Silver single chased Watch, and from them all some Silver, and let them pass. They next stopt a Gentleman and two Ladies, from the Gentleman and one of the Ladies they took some Silver, and from the other Lady a green Purse with 18 d. in it. A little farther they met three more Gentlemen, from one they took a Silver Watch, and from them all some Silver and some Halfpence. A little farther they stopt three more Men, one of whom cried very much, and beg'd for God's Sake to take away their Pistols; after searching him, they found no more than three Halfpence, which they flung at him again, and one of them in a Passion seiz'd hold of him, andswore bitterly, if he did not immediately cease his sniveling, he would sling him into a Ditch.
N.B. For this Robbery one Pendergrast was tried, and justly acquitted, as he was not present when the Robbery was done.
Sometime after Lewis and three more of his Companions stopt 'Squire Harvey in a Chair, in St. Anne's Court near Berwick-street, Soho, from whom they took a fine Gold repeating Watch, the outside Case Egyptian Pebble, set in Gold.
One Evening about five o'Clock, five of them in Company met a Person in Tottenham-Court Road (who, as appeared afterward, was one Mr. B - y a Fishmonger) whom they commanded to stand and deliver; they took from him a small Pinchbeck Watch, with a white Dial-plate, a Case of Instruments, Half a Guinea, some Silver, a Pair of loaded Pistols, and about a dozen Bullets; on taking the Pistols and Bullets they were surprized, thinking they had been robbing a Brother Trade (tho' Mr. B - y carried them about him only by Way of Security, having been attacked before) they therefore told him their Thoughts, and said, if he was a Brother Scamp * he might as well own it, and they would give him his Things again; but he shook his Head at them, did not understand them, and they parted, and wished him a good Night.
* Scamp is the Cant Word for a Thief or Robber.
Neither Lewis, May, nor Hamilton would particularize any Robbery except what is here set down; but in the following they were all concerned, and Sharers, as themselves did own, And these and several others were committed by these three unhappy Wretches.
March 21, they met John Mason near Pancras, treated him ill, threatened to blow out his Brains, with other very hard Language, and robbed him of a Gold Watch.
At the same Time they robbed John Matevae of one Guinea and ten Shillings; and each of them having Pistols, they were very daring and insolent.
The next Day, between the Half-way House and Pancras- Church , Lewis and May met with John Matthews, whom they used in the same wicked Manner; one clapt a Pistol to his Mouth, and hit him with it in his Teeth, while the other held his Pistol to his Ear, and swore they would blow his Brains out if he did not keep his Hat over his Eyes, that he might not take particular Notice of them. They robbed him of two Gold Rings, a Penknife, and 2 s. and 3 d. in Money. Hamilton was in Sight at a Distance, and shared Part of the Booty: And,
The same Day, the three met with William Blacketer, betwen the Half-way House and Pancras- Church , and with their usual Insolence robbed him of a Handkerchief, and Five-pence in Halfpence.
At the PLACE of EXECUTION.
ON Wednesday the 16th Instant, between 8 and 9 o'Clock in the Morning, Wm. Archer , Job Savage , and Wm. Carey in one; Thomas Lewis , Benjamin Campbel Hamilton , and Thomas May in another; Michael Nunnan , in a Sledge or Hurdle; Wm. Giddis , Henry Smith , and Thomas Perry in a third; and James Nicholson , John Clarke , and John Groves in a 4th Cart, went to the Place of Execution. Hamilton's Behaviour was intolerably indecent there, talking and laughing almost all the while the Executioner was tying them up, and using such Expressions as are better stifled than reported. May called aloud to a Fellow to take his Hat and Wig. Of the rest, not one of them said any Thing; but after Prayers, when the Caps were pulled down over their Faces, the Cart drew from under them, and most of them seem'd to have hard Conflicts with Death.
Being cut down, their Bodies were chiefly taken care of by their Friends; but one or two having no Friends, were left under the Gallows, and are said to have been carried away for the Purpose and Use of Anatomy.
This is all the Account given by me, JOHN TAYLOR , Ordinary of Newgate.

You may know the name Pauley Perrette, especially if you watch CBS primetime time. Pauley has been portraying the attractive, yet spunky character Abby Scuito on "NCIS," opposite Mark Harmon for 11 seasons. Pauley was voted the "most popular actress in US primetime television" in 2011 by Q Score.
In real life Pauley is known for her down to earth demeanor and playful energy that translates beautifully into all the charitable work she does for organizations like Project Angel Food and the American Red Cross.
Actress Pauley Perrette on Project Angel Food & LGBT Rights
It was at a recent fundraiser for one of Pauley's favorite organizations, the LA-based Project Angel Food - a charity that delivers daily meals to patents fighting Aids, that I got a moment to chat with her about her charity work.
Justin Howard - What got you involved with Project Angel Food?
Pauley Perrette - I work with over 30 charities, so I tend to be a magnet for them. But a friend of mine told me about this place and not only I am an advocate for everything that has to do with Aids research and LGBT activism. What is so perfect about Project Angel Food are the services they provide - food and company - to people that are house bound, that are sick, that have cancer and Aids. I have always found it so amazing that there is so much stigma around Aids and HIV because you just don't blame people for being sick.
I started my charity work back in New York by being an activist around that. So I love that Project Angel Food provides such a hands-on, care taking approach.
Justin Howard - It seems like you have made it a second career to sponsor causes that you believe in.
Pauley Perrette - Yeah, that is what I do. I work and I work for charities. Not only do I love it, but I always think what else can I be doing that would be more fun and that is more important? Nothing. There is nothing else to do. That is why I do it.

The De La Salle University Lady Spikers again broke the hearts of their archrivals Ateneo de Manila University Lady Eagles after stealing Game 1 of the UAAP Season 75 Women's Volleyball Finals.
The ADMU Lady Eagles came up with a strong start winning two straight sets against the DLSU Lady Spikers. The errors of the Lady Spikers also heated up the uprising of the Lady Eagles, notching the first two sets, 20-25, 17-25. Then, the two-time defending champs Lady Spikers mustered all their strengths to force a decisive fifth set by winning the third and the fourth set, 25-22, 25-22. Then came a blowout victory by the DLSU team in the fifth set by limiting ADMU's attacks and scored 15-6.
Season 74's Rookie of the Year Victonara Galang put up a superb spiking show in front of the 17, 342 crowd of Smart Araneta Coliseum as she scored all of her 17 points by way of kills. Player of the Game Michelle Gumabao stepped up in the fourth set to lead her team to the fifth set, and contributing 15 points to the Lady Spikers. Alyssa Valdez led the Lady Eagles with 17 points, followed by Fille Cainglet with 14 markers.
You can watch here the replay of the Finals Game 1. Finals Game 2 of the UAAP Season 75 Women's Volleyball is scheduled on March 6, 2013 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. The Awarding of Institutional Awards has been rescheduled before the game on March 6. See the schedule below:

Almost 20 years after his death, Kurt Cobain day is now official in Aberdeen, Washington. The mayor of the city, Bill Simpson, along with the city council declared that February 20th, which is the singer's birthday, will became Kurt Cobain day annually. Local radio station KXRO Newsradio reviewed the city's proclamation, which stated: "Aberdeen residents may justifiably take pride in the role our community played in the life of Kurt Cobain and the international recognition our community has gained from its connections with Kurt Cobain and his artistic achievements." Simpson stated that as plans develop the event may turn into Kurt Cobain week.
Cobain was honored years earlier on Aberdeen's welcome sign, which reads "Come As You Are" after the popular Nirvana song of the same name. Hoquiam has also announced they would celebrate Nirvana day this year, with events scheduled for April 10th. This is also the date when Nirvana along with Kiss, Peter Gabriel, and Hall and Oates will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Last year was the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's final studio album "In Utero." It was reissued in several different formats, including an expansive super deluxe edition. To get your copy, visit the Nirvana website.

The Toyota Corolla has been the compact segment leader for many years (across several decades) and seemed to all but have a lock on it forever. But as the last generation Corolla began to age, and multiple competitors focused more on this segment, their added (and improved) vehicles required that Toyota develop and deliver a much improved Corolla for 2014.
To meet this competition, the new 2014 Corolla was pretty extensively remade including new features and styling, enhanced ride and handling including electric power steering, more passenger space including five more inches leg room in the rear and seriously improved fuel economy t through the introduction of a new trim level – the 2014 Corolla LE Eco.
Toyota, in making the transition from the last generation (2013 model year) to the new generation 2014 Toyota Corolla, finished 2014 trailing the Honda Civic by 34,000 units at year end as the new 2014 Corolla entered the market and began to gain some traction. Based on the Corolla having regained compact segment leadership after the first four months of 2014, it appears that the new 2014 Corolla is resonating favorable with the consumer. We know it is with us.
Earlier this year, we drove a new 2014 Toyota Corolla S Premium (see our March 12 review in examiner.com) and confirmed the Toyota claims and consumer acceptance of their new and improved Corolla for 2014 - that is, except for the LE Eco.
We were very interested in getting to drive the all-new LE Eco version to see if the effort to make it more fuel efficient took anything away from our favorable impressions of the performance of the Corolla S. Just recently, we had that opportunity.
Our test vehicle was the 2014 Toyota Corolla LE Eco Plus which offers an enhanced powertrain as standard that includes a new 1.8L four-cylinder engine equipped with what Toyota calls Valvematic that improves the operating efficiencies of the base engine - adding fuel economy (now 30/40 mpg City/Highway with an expected average of 34 mpg) while increasing horsepower to 140 from 132.
The enhanced 1.8L engine is mated to their new CVTi-S Continuously Variable Transmission with a unique ECO Mode for the LE Eco to maximize performance. The CVT-S (intelligent – shift) transmission has been tuned uniquely to the vehicle in order to deliver a more precise set of shift points to match the car's acceleration and deceleration curves. Additionally, an ECO Mode feature for the LE Eco model makes the accelerator control non-linear to manage the engine performance in relationship to demand requirements across the entire vehicle including things like reducing AC compressor power as needed for fuel efficiency.
After a week of driving the new Corolla LE Eco around the urban and rural areas of Central Texas, we think they nailed this pretty well. The added horsepower 1.8L engine mated to the CVTi-S automatic transmission and specifically tuned for this vehicle for fuel efficiency met our expectations.
With a base MSRP of $19,400 our Blizzard Pearl 2014 Corolla LE Eco included a pretty complete array of features not always found in a value priced compact sedan.
Those features included LED low beam - Halogen high beam headlamps with daytime LED running lights (first in the segment), integrated fog lights, front chrome grille surround with piano black insert, color keyed heated power outside mirrors with turn signal indicators, integrated rear deck spoiler, 16-inch uniquely styled alloy wheels, chrome tipped exhaust, softex fabric trimmed heated seats with sport bolsters and sport fabric inserts, 6-way adjustable driver seat and 4-way adjustable passenger seat, tilt and telescopic steering wheel with audio and Bluetooth controls, piano black center stack and upper instrument panel, three gauge instrument cluster trimmed in chrome, cruise control, automatic climate control with dust and pollen filters and integrated backup camera with projected path display.
Additional features included the Entune Audio System with 6.1-inch color touch-screen display, AM/FM CD Player, auxiliary audio jack, USB Port, iPod connectivity, advanced voice recognition, hands-free phone and music streaming via Bluetooth wireless plus the Entune Multimedia Bundle.
Our test 2014 Corolla LE Eco was nicely finished out with the optional Driver Convenience Package ($1,510) that included the Entune Premium Bundle with Navigation and App Suite, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, HD Radio with Weather and Traffic and Smart Key Keyless Door Entry System with Push Button Start.
The Power Tilt/Slide Moonroof with Sliding Sunshade ($850) completed the package on this LE Eco.
With delivery and an upcharge for the special color, our test 2014 Corolla LE Eco Plus priced at $22,965.
At the end of the day, we feel that the performance of the 2014 Toyota Corolla LE Eco is very close to the Corolla S.
The Corolla S has a slight advantage over the LE Eco in powertrain performance due to the tuning of the S trim level's CVTi-S automatic transmission (with seven semi-discrete shift ranges) integrated with a performance engineered SPORT Mode plus available paddle shifters that enable more driver involvement in the power train performance.
On the other hand, the LE Eco Plus creates its own unique advantage by delivering eight percent better fuel efficiency than the S Plus with what is still very decent power train performance.
With these Corolla price points beginning right around $20,000 and, when fully featured and equipped, still well below $25,000, either model will certainly do for compact segment consumers looking for value and good performance and should help Toyota maintain its segment leadership with the new 2014 Corolla.

THE Lexus RX 450h luxury SUV has been given a makeover and a new F Sport grade has been introduced with sportier styling details and a sharper dynamic performance.
Equipment levels have also been improved across the board as part of the refresh, with LED daytime running lights for the SE model,DVDplayer andDABdigital tuner for the Luxury version and head-up display for range-topping Premier models. Additionally, Selectable Sport drive mode has been added to the full hybrid drive system.
On sale now, on-the-road prices start from £44,495 for the SE, with the Luxury model costing £48,495, the new F Sport £51,995 and the Premier £55,495.
The styling changes are led by the spindle-shaped grille that is a new trademark element in new Lexus design, as also seen on the soon-to-be-launched new GS saloon and the LF-LC concept coupe.
In the cabin small tweaks have been made to trim details and the shape and functionality of some of the controls.
Style-wise the F Sport stands out with a deeper, more vertical front bumper and a dedicated mesh treatment for the upper and lower grilles, which together make the new spindle grille shape an even stronger feature.
There are also dark-finish 19-inch alloy wheels and F Sport badging on the exterior, while in the cabin the model's sporting character is reflected in aluminium-effect sports pedals and trim inserts, F Sport smooth leather upholstery and scuff plates with the Lexus logo in black. There is also a black roof lining and a bespoke steering wheel with a stitched leather trim.

Suppose you are a scientist doing research on climate change. You really could use a super computer but lack the access and funds for its use. IBM to the rescue. In support of the updated Climate Data Initiative announced by the White House, IBM will provide eligible scientists studying climate change-related issues with free access to dedicated virtual supercomputing and a platform to engage the public in their research.
Each approved project will have access to up to 100,000 years of computing time at a value of $60 million. The work will be performed on IBM's philanthropic World Community Grid platform. Created and managed by IBM, World Community Grid provides computing power to scientists by harnessing the unused cycle time of volunteers' computers and mobile devices. Participants get involved by downloading software that runs when they take breaks or work on lightweight computer tasks, such as browsing the internet. The software receives, completes, and returns small computational assignments to scientists.
Researchers are asked to submit sustainability project proposals to receive this free resource, and invites members of the public to donate their unused computing power to these efforts at worldcommunitygrid.org. World Community Grid is welcomed by researchers who don't have the funds or dedicated access to powerful supercomputers that can accelerate their simulations and virtual experiments. It has been used to facilitate research into clean energy, clean water and healthy foodstuffs, as well as cures for cancer, AIDS, malaria and other diseases. Nearly three-million computers and mobile devices used by over 670,000 people and 460 institutions from 80 countries have contributed power for projects on World Community Grid over the last nine years. Since the program's inception, World Community Grid volunteers have powered over 20 research projects, donating nearly a million years of computing time to scientific research and enabled important scientific advances in health and sustainability.
Examples of World Community Grid partnerships are:
University of Virginia on Computing for Sustainable Water, which studied the effects of human activity on the Chesapeake Bay watershed to understand what actions can lead to restoration, health and sustainability of this important resource.
University of Washington on Nutritious Rice for the World modeled rice proteins and predicted their function to help farmers breed new strains with higher yields and greater disease and pest resistance, potentially providing new options for regions facing changing climate conditions.
In the same vein, clean air leaders hailed the Environmental Protection Agency's recent historic public hearings on its Clean Power Plan to curb carbon pollution from existing power plants, which they believe is a key driver of climate change.
"Climate disruption is the defining challenge of our generation. It puts our food and water supply at risk and it endangers our children's health. A crisis of this magnitude demands action. We have a moral obligation to do all we can - by cutting pollution, accelerating a transition to clean energy, and by taking advantage of a tremendous opportunity to modernize how we power our country. Once finalized, the EPA's Clean Power Plan will do just that, and that's why Sierra Club activists are mobilizing to support and bolster this important public health protection at the EPA's public hearings this week," said Michael Brune, Sierra Club executive director.
"This rule represents real progress, not only for America's wildlife, fish and birds, but for the millions of sportsmen, wildlife watchers, and nature lovers who cherish America's outdoor heritage. The National Wildlife Federation and our affiliates look forward to working with the administration and the states to achieve the new standards and protect wildlife across the nation," said Collin O'Mara, president and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Prostatitis is one of several benign (non-cancerous), inflamed conditions of the prostate gland. Acute prostatitis occurs suddenly, with sharp, severe symptoms. Chronic prostatitis develops gradually, recurs often, with the infection lasting for prolonged periods of time. Chronic prostatitis is typically difficult to treat.
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), prostatitis accounts for nearly 25 percent of physician office visits by young and middle-aged men for complaints involving the genital and urinary systems. Prostatitis is the most common prostate problem in men under the age of 50. Some estimates state that at least half of all men, at some point in their lives, will develop symptoms of prostatitis.
Prostatitis and other prostate problems are generally treated by a urologist, a physician who specializes in the treatment of conditions involving the urinary tract in both genders, and conditions involving the genital tract of the male reproductive system.
The following classifications of prostatitis are offered by the National Kidney and Urologic Disease Information Clearinghouse, a service of the NIDDK:
Prostatitis is an infection that likely occurs due to bacteria that have entered the prostatic ducts from the rectum and/or as a result of a backward flow of infected urine.
Prostatitis is not a contagious condition and is not considered a sexually transmitted disease. It can result, however, from several different sexually transmitted diseases.
Although any man can develop prostatitis at any age, there are some conditions that put a man at greater risk for developing this condition, including the following:
The following are the most common, general symptoms of prostatitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of prostatitis may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
The most effective treatment for prostatitis depends heavily upon an accurate diagnosis. In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for prostatitis may include the following:
Specific treatment for prostatitis will be determined by your physician based on:
According to the American Foundation for Urologic Disease, treatment may include:

Read Movie Reviews about Roberta Write a Movie Review for Roberta
Release Date: 1999-01-22 (Sundance '99)
Genre: Drama,
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 25min
Roberta is a fascinating personal odyssey of one man's internal search for significance, enacted by a superb cast and highlighted by very conscious art direction. Gray-toned, minimally constructed sets provide the backdrop for a penetrating central performance by Kevin Corrigan, intricately portraying the character's obsession to find meaning in a seemingly complete life. Jonathan Fishman (Corrigan), a young professional, seems to have everything one needs to be happy: a good job, money in the bank, and a caring girlfriend. Yet he still longs for more. While on a job in an industrial district, he encounters a streetwalker, Roberta (Daisy Rojas). To the dismay of his friends, his business partner, and his lover, he decides to help Roberta off the streets by moving her into his apartment and teaching her the skills necessary to find a job in his professional world. As he selfishly enlists his friends in his quest, his altruism soon reveals itself as something more, and his life slowly and dangerously unravels. A finely envisioned work that is cold in the best sense, Roberta is more than a standard search for meaning. Within this central construct lie fleshed-out characters. Roberta is far more than the manifestation of Jonathan's desperate attempt to find salvation; she is a complex character who is struggling with her own choices as well. It is writer/director Eric Mandelbaum's ability to humanize these potentially two-dimensional symbols through precise performances that makes Roberta a stunning and notable directing debut that should not be missed.

Sarah Palin gave the keynote speech last weekend at the Tea Party Convention. You may have noticed this if you watched any television news, local or cable.
On Sunday morning, the local newspaper in Madison, The Wisconsin State Journal, called by some whose tongues are firmly in cheek, the other WSJ, carried four, one-sentence paragraphs on page six of the front section, an AP piece at that, giving the who, what, when and where. Nothing more.
On the same day, the Internet media sources, CNN to Fox to MSNBC gave pages to the story, with viewpoints, reactions, as well as disparaging sidebars from some outlets. This is the way it is these days.
In Madison, the rule of media seems to include "the shun" to any with an opposing viewpoint. Put them where few will see or read them, and certainly make every effort to pretend they do not exist or have the viewpoint, and hope they'll go away.
Political correctness or media bias?
Take your pick, but have a viewpoint when you do.

AT&T Sideloading is now official starting with Infuse 4G
Today is a good day for AT&T Android users. AT&T announced in March that it would allow future phones(starting with the Infuse 4G) to sideload apps. The main reason AT&T finally said it would change its policy was to allow users to download the Amazon App Store and gain access to some of the sweet deals that Amazon offers each day(Here is today's free app).
This statement was confirmed by AT&T today when they sent out the notice pictured below to developers. Unfortunately, AT&T failed to mention whether or not previous Android models such as the Samsung Captivate would receive an update that allowed them to sideload apps as well.
I certainly hope for fellow Captivate users sake that the AT&T does allow the former Android models to sideload and follows Google's plan to improve on updating older devices. This announcement is also a good indication that AT&T is getting better at listening to customer's requests and it could not have come at a better time with AT&T/T-Mobile's merger making customers believe that the merger will make the company's customer service worse.
At the end of the day the customer always wins, I hope.

Significant Moments of 2008
This is the obligatory end of year recap.
- Tweetups. We had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people via Twitter.
- Completing the remodel of spare bedroom number 1. It only took a year because we kept procrastinating.
- Going on the 2008 WPTAPL Halloween poker cruise. You can preview our photobook here, and purchase a copy here.
- Manny Pacquiao defeats Oscar de la Hoya. Just had to add that to the list. Pinoy pride, pare!
- Ching's first time voting. Ching was naturalized a few years ago, but voted for the very first time in the 2008 elections. Brian still refuses to exercise his rights.
- Cory and April's Vegas wedding. Brian and Ching take a trip to Sin City to witness the nuptials. It is Brian's first time in Vegas and he decided that he hates it.
- Eddy's bungles an oil change and almost kills Bebot.
- Ching got to shoot some guns at the KMMH open house in August, and has videos to prove it.
- Memorial weekend in Kansas City. There will be no more pleasure trips (business trips will still continue, unfortunately) for a while until the home remodel is finished.
- Ching completed her MBA. There will be no more school for a while either.
- Ching is inducted to Beta Gamma Sigma. This is a big deal because she did not get invited as an undergrad. Now she's a member. Go, Ching!
- Ching tears up the Western sales region's poker tournament at Viega's national sales meeting. The only woman in the tournament got second place and almost took down the whole tournament. The men were not pleased. Ching's winnings were donated to the Relay for Life fundraising cause at Viega.
- Brian left LSI and moved on to greener pastures. He started his first day at Viega by going to the airport and flying to their office in New Hampshire.

When the GED Testing Service announced it would only offer computer-based tests, and it would increase the cost to $120 per text beginning in 2014, the New York State Department of Education (NYSED) selected a new testing service. Beginning this year, New Yorkers seeking a high school equivalency diploma may earn one by taking the Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC).
The TASC, administered by McGraw-Hill, is similar to the current GED test. It will be available in English and Spanish with Braille, large print and audio versions. The test will be offered in paper and computer based formats.
For 2014, online computer testing will be piloted at 13 test sites. NYSED plans to expand the number of sites offering computer based testing in future years.
The test will take approximately nine hours total, with multiple-choice questions covering math, reading, writing, science and social studies. The test will also include one essay.
Students may prepare for the test using sample questions available at the TASC website.
Over the next three years, the TASC will be modified to align with the Common Core Standards, which were adopted by New York State in 2010. The test is free to all New Yorkers and will be offered at all approved testing centers.
Additional resources for test preparation and registration materials may be found at the NYSED website.

Have you ever been hit with gas pains while you were stressed out? Or battled butterflies in your stomach before doing something daunting? If so, you've experienced the chemical and electrical communication that goes on between the brain in your head and the one in your digestive tract, which is known as the small or second brain.
The brain in your gut is not a discrete organ like the one up top; it is a network of nerves within the layers of tissue lining the walls of your digestive tract. This network's main job is to regulate the action taking place along the 30-foot tube extending from your esophagus to your anus and all the stops along the way: stomach, small intestine and large intestine. Long aware of the role these nerves play in the second-brain communication system, researchers have discovered a surprising new player—actually, about a trillion new players: the bacteria that live mainly on the inner walls of the large intestine.
These diverse bacteria perform several useful functions, such as digesting fiber, making vitamin K and some Bs and helping fend off the small amount of bacteria in your gut that could, in large enough numbers, make you sick. The "good" bacteria control the "bad" bacteria, either by producing substances that inhibit or kill the pathogens or by crowding out the troublesome bugs so it is difficult for them to adhere to the walls of the large intestine, says Kelly Scott Swanson, PhD, an associate professor in the department of animal sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Of the thousand or so kinds of bacteria in the gut, the most beneficial are probably the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, notes Shekhar Challa, MD, a gastroenterologist in private practice in Topeka, Kansas, and author of Probiotics for Dummies. The term probiotics refers to good bacteria that live in food and certain supplements.
Researchers have known for years that stress can really rock this bacterial world. When your big brain senses a threat, glands pump out stress hormones that, among other things, trigger several chemical responses in your gut. As a result, the balance of good and bad bugs may be altered in favor of the -disease-causing bacteria, says Michaël Messaoudi, scientific and medical director of ETAP, a research laboratory in -Vandoeuvre-lès-Nancy, France. One study, for example, found that a hormone you produce when you're stressed, norepinephrine, increases the virulence of Escherichia coli, a well-known pathogen. Another bad boy, Campylobacter jejuni, which causes the most common type of infectious diarrhea, may also surge when you're under pressure.
The big news: In the past couple of years, scientists have discovered that just as the brain alters the gut bacteria, so too can these bacteria influence the brain. Not only do stress and your moods affect the functioning of your gut, but the bacteria in your large intestine may affect your mood and your emotional response to stress. For instance, animal experiments have shown that rises in Bifidobacteriaincrease levels of tryptophan circulating in the blood. Tryptophan is a precursor of the feel-good neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine.
Probiotics as Prozac
If the bacteria in your gut can affect your mind, is it possible to manipulate these bugs to bring about desirable changes? A French team led by Messaoudi believes the answer is yes. The researchers gave healthy but moderately anxious people a daily probiotic supplement that contained Lactobacillus helveticusand Bifidobacterium longum. After 30 days, the volunteers who had taken probiotics showed decreases in anger and depression and an increased ability to solve problems. A later analysis showed similar mood-lifting effects in subjects who were less stressed.

AKRON — The season is very young for Brunswick's softball team, but there's a noticeable swagger that's been missing the last few seasons.
That saunter showed Saturday after the Blue Devils beat Waterloo 10-1 at the Ohio Invitational.
Brunswick (3-0) had it all against the Vikings (1-3), as timely hitting, good defense, smart baserunning and another incredible pitching performance by Courtney Saville had this one over early.
While the contest ended after six innings due to time constraints — the games were 80 minutes long — the thought of a Waterloo comeback was never in question.
"I think our confidence level is the highest it's been in years, and that comes from one kid getting a hit and then another," Blue Devils coach Julie Salzman said. "We're generating runs, we're fielding well and giving them only three outs an inning. We used to make dumb mistakes by giving four or five outs an inning. Hopefully this continues."
The Vikings never had a chance with Saville in the circle, as the right-handed junior picked up her third win in as many appearances.
Saville sent the first 12 down before a single by Morgan Perry broke up a perfect game. Kaitlyn Hood had another single in the sixth inning, but Waterloo couldn't figure out Saville.
Using a mixture of fastballs, curveballs, riseballs and changeups, she struck out nine and allowed one unearned run.
"She's pretty unstoppable," Salzman said. "I saw she might have slowed down in the last inning and thought, 'OK, we've got this in the bag.' Then that girl got that hit and she was right back at it again."
Saville had the opportunity to put it in cruise control thanks to some heady play by the Blue Devils. Megan Mulhan got things going in the second inning with a bases-loaded double that cleared the bases with two outs.
That put Brunswick up four, but the big damage came in the fourth against Haley Hurd (1-3). Hurd lost control with four wild pitches, four walks and hit two batters in the frame.
The Blue Devils managed only two hits in the inning, but scored six runs to make it a double-digit lead.
"It was very important because we needed to jump on them early so they would lose hope and get down," Mulhan said. "If that happens to us, that's how we would feel."
Saville came close to throwing her second no-hitter of the season after opening the year with a no-no against Normandy.
"(The run support) helped me a lot," Saville said. "I'm a lot more confident with my pitching. I'm more at ease even if I make a mistake. I feel at ease when I'm pitching because I know they'll back me up."
In another game:
Beaumont 4, Brunswick 3
AKRON — Saville (3-1) couldn't find enough magic to dance out of a
fifth-inning jam as the Blue Devils (3-1) suffered their first loss of the season.
The junior loaded the bases and looked like she might get out of things, but with one out she hit Rebbeca Lachman with a pitch to plate the winning run. Saville allowed just the one earned run in four innings and struck out three.
Emily Lott went the distance for the Blue Streaks. She allowed three earned runs and struck out eight.
Jessica Zucca added a double for Beaumont.
