THE Ordinary of NEWGATE HIS ACCOUNT OF The Behaviour, Confessions, and Last Speeches of the Malefactors that were Executed at Tyburn on Friday the 20th of December, 1717.
THE melancholy Papers relating to the Criminals executed in this County, having, the Session before this, receiv'd a happy Interruption, through an extraordinary Accident, which then happen'd, and is well known to the Publick; They now come out again, to give an Account of such of the Malefactors, lately condemn'd, as are the sad Subject of them.
At the general Sessions held at Justice-hall in the Old-bailey, on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th days of December, 1717; Eleven Persons, viz. Nine Men, and Two Women, that were Try'd for, and Convicted of, several Capital Crimes, receiv'd Sentence of Death: But the Two Women's Judgment being respited for their Pregnancy, and Four of the Men repriev'd by HIS MAJESTY'S most gracious Mercy (which I hope they will take due Care to improve) Five of them only are now order'd for Execution.
While they lay under this deplorable State of Condemnation, I constantly visited them, and had them, twice every day, brought up to the Chapel in Newgate; where I pray'd with them, read, and expounded the Word of GOD to them, and instructed them in those Points of Religion, which were most proper for them both to know and to practise; endeavouring to make them sensible, and to repent, of their past Sins and Follies, and to pray for that Grace, by the Divine Power whereof they might be happily rescued from under the Slavery of Sin and Satan, and admitted into the Glorious Liberty of the Children of GOD. This was the Drift and Purpose of my daily Admonitions to them, both in publick and private. And,
On the Lord's Day, the 8th instant, I preach'd to those Condemn'd Persons, and many others there present, both in the Forenoon and Afternoon, upon Luke 21. 27. being part of the Gospel appointed for that Day, and the Words these: And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a Cloud, with Power and great Glory.
From this Text and Context, first explain'd in general, and illustrated by parallel Places, I shew'd in particular,
I. The Certainty of Christ's Coming to Judge the World. And,
II. The Uncertainty of the Time when He shall come.
To which I added,
III. ult. The weighty Consideration of the nearer or more visibly approaching Judgment, which is privately pass'd on the Soul of every Man at his Death, and will be publickly confirm'd (and extended to his Body also) at the Last Day, when Christ shall come, attended with Myriads of Angels, to raise the Dead.
Again, on the last Lord's Day, the 15th instant, I preach'd likewise to the Condemn'd, &c. and my Text was Numb. 35. 31. Moreover ye shall not take Satisfaction for the Life of a Murderer, which is guilty of Death: But he shall be surely put to Death.
After a general Explanation of these Words, I shew'd from them in particular,
I. The heinous Nature of the Crime of Murder; the irreparable Evil of it, and what has a near Relation to it, and may well be comprehended under it.
II. The Severe Punishment due to it.
III. & lastly, The great Necessity of that Man's sincere and hearty Repentance, who is Guilty of this, or of any other Sin whatsoever, according to the Degree thereof.
Having enlarg'd upon all those Points, I concluded every Sermon I then preach'd to the Condemn'd with proper Admonitions to them: And here shew'd them particularly, That any wicked Act wilfully committed, whereof the Consequence might be the shedding of Blood, was Murder in the Sight of GOD; and that (according to the Apostle's Conclusion) Whosoever hateth his Brother is a Murderer; adding these peremptory Words, Ye know, that no Murderer has Eternal Life abiding in him, 1 Joh. 3. 15.
From which Consideration, I endeavour'd to make them sensible of the absolute Necessity there was for them (and accordingly exhorted them) to search their own Heart to the bottom, that they might find out their Sins (the Cause of their Troubles and Fears) and so truly repent of all they had done amiss, and of whatever Mischief their Crimes might have further been attended with, in this World; as to prevent their dismal and dreadful Effects in the World to come.
To these Exhortations they seem'd very attentive; and in my private Examinations of them, they gave me the respective Accounts following.
1. Thomas Bingley, convicted upon 3 Indictments, for assaulting, wounding and robbing, on the King's Highway near Acton, these 3 Persons, viz. 1st, Silvester Proud; 2dly, Jonathan Chapman; and, 3dly, John Blackwell, on the 11th of November last: On which Day, at the very same Time and Place all these Facts were committed by him, with the Assistance of two others hereafter nam'd. He said, he was 25 Years of age, born at Doncaster in Yorkshire: That while he liv'd with his Father (a Malster and Distiller ) he serv'd him in his Business: But upon a Difference happening between his said Father and him, about a Twelvemonth ago, he then
came up to London, where he had not been long, before he was listed in the first Regiment of Guards , under the Command of Colonel Townshend. He freely confest the Facts he now stood condemn'd for; but said he had done no such things before, and that those (which were his first) would be also his last, were he to live never so long. When I told him of his Barbarity to the Person of Mr. Proud, whom he violently assaulted, being not contented only to rob him, but using him most cruelly, even to his endeavouring the taking away of his Life: He answer'd, That in his Heat and Haste (being under Fear) he knew not well what he did, but now considering what he had done, he was very sorry, and begg'd his Pardon for it, thanking GOD, that the Wounds he had given him, proved not Mortal. Here he said, That though he never was a Robber before, yet he had been otherwise a very bad Young-man, he having liv'd a loose Life, and been very extravagant, a great Spendthrift, and withal a most undutiful Son, who had given his Father a great deal of trouble: All which he now was very much griev'd at, being sensible of the Evil and Misery his Follies had justly brought upon him in this World, and of the greater Punishment he deserv'd to undergo in the next: And therefore earnestly pray'd to GOD for Mercy, and his Father, and all others he had offended, for Pardon; and wish'd all Young-men might take Warning by him, and be more dutiful to GOD and their Parents, than himself had been; and so avoid such a sad and untimely End, as this he was now come to. When Yesterday the Death-Warrant was come down, and he found by it, that there was no hope at all for him to live much longer in this World, he then (upon my exhorting him to make a full Confession of his Sins, and clear his Conscience) own'd (though he had deny'd it before) that within these 4 or 5 Months he had committed several (but no great) Robberies on the Highway, sometimes about Paddington, and at other times in and about Whitechappel, as also in other Places further from London; and, That once he had begg'd a Furlow of his Officer, under pretence of seeing his Friends in the Country for a few Days; but it was upon no such occasion; his only Design being then to have more Time and Opportunity to do Mischief (as he did) to honest Men: Which wicked Course of Life is now a great trouble to his Soul, who heartily wish'd he had not been so wicked. He implor'd again and again GOD's Mercy and their Pardon whom he had any ways injur'd: And that was all the Satisfaction he could make.
2. Joseph Sherrier, condemn'd with the 'foresaid Tho. Bingley, for being concern'd with him in the 3 Facts above specified, He said, he was 22 Years of age, born at Alresford in the County of Suffolk, and a Lock-Smith by Trade: That since his coming up to London, which was in May last, he work'd with a Smith near Drury-lane, when he had time to work, he being in the same Service, and in the same Regiment and Company with Bingley, who (he said) was the Man that put him upon these Facts, which he would never have thought to commit, had he not been enticed thereto; adding, That when he saw the said Bingley had so barbarously (as he had) cut the poor Man's Head in diverse places, he cry'd to him, Why have you done that? And he further told me, he was very sorry to
see it, and if he could, would have prevented it; but standing then at some distance, he could not. At first he said, this was the only time he ever engag'd in such wicked Facts as these were, which the said Bingley induced him to, and that were he to live never so long in this World, he would not be guilty of the like, or any other Crimes; but afterwards he confess'd, That about June or July last, Bingley perswaded him to go upon the Highway; and, That within that time he had committed several small Robberies with him, for which (to his great Grief) he could now make no Satisfaction, but thank'd GOD he had never shed Blood. He seem'd to be very Sensible and Penitent.
3. Edward Motte, alias Popham (the former being his right Name) condemn'd with the two former, viz. Thomas Bingley and Joseph Sherrier, for being an Assistant to them in the Facts before mention'd. He said, he was 21 Years of age, born at Boxted in Suffolk: That he was a Blacksmith by Trade, and wrought at it ever since he came up to London, when his Service in His Majesty's Foot-Guards (in which, and in the same Company, he was with Bingley and Sherrier) permitted it. He own'd his Guilt of the Facts he stood condemn'd for, and said, That Bingley had brought him into the commission of them; and, that he had no hand in the Personal Hurt that Mr. Proud receiv'd, and wish'd he could have hinder'd Bingley from doing a thing of that nature; for himself abhorr'd such Cruelties: Neither would he, of his own accord, have gone in this manner upon the Highway; but the said Bingloy forced him to it. He acknowledg'd his Crime was great, in complying with that wicked Man's Solicitations; and said, this was the first time he had offended the Law; but when the Death-Warrant was come, he acknowledg'd, That within these five months past he had been engag'd with the said Bingley and Sherrier in some Robberies on the Highway, he could not tell how many; yet hoped, that tho' he was to suffer by it in this World, yet he should find Mercy in the next, for he heartily repented.
4. James Dickenson, alias Robinson (the former his right Name) condemn'd for breaking open the House of Mr. Thomas Bevis, and stealing thence Linnen to the value of 30 s. on the 31st of October last. He said, he was about 26 Years of age, born in Goodmans-Fields, in the Parish of St. Mary White-Chapel, and by his Occupation a Packthread-Spinner , by which he could maintain himself and Family well enough; but not being contented with that honest way of living, he fell into that which prov'd at last his Shame and Ruin. At first (indeed) he stifly deny'd the Fact he stood condemn'd for; alledging this common and worn-out Excuse, That the stoln Goods found on him, were given him by an unknown Hand, to carry to a certain Place: But at last he confess'd himself Guilty. And he also acknowledg'd (upon my putting him in mind of it) That he had formerly committed other ill Facts, and was once burnt in the Hand, and sent to the Bridewell in Clerkenwell, there to be kept at hard Labour for a Twelve-month; and yet (as it prov'd) this Correction did not cure him of his Thievish Distemper; who own'd, That he had committed several ill Facts, which were never found out, and which he cannot now to any purpose discover, nor make any Satisfaction for. He was a poor ignorant Person, who knew nothing of Religion, could not read at all, nor so much as say the Lord's Prayer.
5. John Monstieurs, condemn'd for the Murder of John Henrick Rule, on the 17th of October last. He said, he was 27 Years of age, of good Parentage, and born at Enwegen in Gelder-land: That he had been brought up in the Business of Merchandizing ; and the chief Commodities he commonly dealt in, were Wines and Brandy, which he bought in the Low-Countries, and imported into England. The Religion he profess'd was that he call'd the Roman Catholick . As to the Fact he was Try'd and Condemn'd for, he at first stifly deny'd it, and would fain have perswaded me, that he was perfectly ignorant and innocent of it; and that
he was a Person of a good Life and good Reputation in his own Country. Upon which, I told him, That tho' I could not charge him with other Crimes (as having no knowledge of him before) yet this, for which he now stood condemn'd, was so evident, and so fully prov'd upon him, that I wonder'd he durst deny it; considering (too) that such a Denial could not clear him before GOD, nor before Men, neither would be of any the least avail to him as to his present State in this World, but should greatly aggravate his Sins and Condemnation in the Sight of GOD, and make him infinitely the worse as to his future State in the other World. Being inform'd that some time ago he intended to have marry'd a Dutch-woman, a Protestant; and that one of the Conditions of the Contract to be made between them, was; That he should leave the Church of Rome, and embrace the Protestant Religion; I ask'd him, Whether it was so: To which he reply'd, It was. Then asking him further, Whether he was still in the same mind; that is, Whether he would now (as to this Change) do for the good of his Soul what he promis'd to perform for his Love's sake, and would be a Protestant whether he liv'd or died? He answer'd at first, That he would; but sometime after this, said, That as he suppos'd both Religions were good, and he was to die so soon that now he had neither time, nor indeed any proper or free Disposition of mind (under his present distraction and disquietude) to attend to any Instruction relating to those Points or Principles, wherein they differ'd the one from the other, and considering also that he was born in the Roman Communion: So he thought it not fit to renounce it, and embrace another; which (for ought he knew) he might have done, were he to have liv'd longer in this World; for he was inclinable enough, from the Instructions he had receiv'd of me, since his Confinement in Newgate (both before and after his Condemnation) to believe, That of the two, the Protestant Religion was the better. He so far agreed with me, that he profess'd, He rely'd on the alone Merits of JESUS CHRIST for the Pardon of his Sins; and, that he look'd upon Him as the only Mediator between GOD and Man, and hoped to be sav'd by Him. Here (after some further Instructions to set him forward in the right way) I press'd him to a free Confession, as of all his Sins in general, so particularly of this enormous Crime of Murder, which had brought him to this shameful and untimely Death. Whereupon he (tho' he had positively deny'd it before) now own'd, that He was Guilty of it; but said, That the Deceased having first began a Quarrel with him, they both (by consent) went out together, to decide the Difference by dnt of Sword: This he alledging for his Pretence as a legal (or at least allowable) Way, to ask and receive Satisfaction for Affronts and Injuries given; was presently shewn his great Mistake herein, and his indispensable Duty and Interest to repent. Besides, I old him, That if that was a Duel, I greatly suspected him to be the Aggressor; but indeed could not think other, but that this Murder was by him committed without Provocation, and with all the Aggravation of Baseness and Barbarity imaginable. To which he said little or nothing but this, I am now to satisfie the Law for it, and pray God to have Mercy on my Soul. Then I went on, exhorting him to Repentance; and such a Repentance too, as might be proportionable to his high Crime, crying with David, Ps. 51. 12. Deliver me from Blood-guiltiness, O God! &c. Before I parted at that time, when I had a long private Conference with him (which was the next day after I had preach'd (chiefly) against Murder) and I found he was something mov'd, and seem'd to relent, I desir'd him for GOD's sake, and for his Soul's sake, to tell me what Crimes of that nature, or what other heinous Sins, he had committed before, either in his own Country or any where else. To which he reply'd, that he had formerly fought several Duels with Officers and other Gentlemen, wounding some of 'em, but never kill'd any; and that, as to other Matters, he had liv'd like other young Gentlemen, not so well (he must needs confess) as he should have done; for which he implor'd GOD's Mercy and Pardon. Being not fully satisfied with his Confession, I further desir'd him to declare freely and ingenuously, what was the true Cause of his committing that Murder. To which he giving no Answer, his Silence put me upon asking him this plain Question, which I press'd him to answer positively one way or other, viz. Whether he did not kill the Deceased with an intent of having his Money and other his Goods? Whereto he made this only Reply, Sure enough; and would say no more, nor express that Sorrow he should have had for the great Evil he had done, and the Guilt he thus had contracted by his Commission of such an inhumane and bloody Fact. I endeavour'd all I could to make him throughly sensible of his Sin and Misery. How affected he was with what I said, and what were his inward Thoughts, I know not: But his outward Appear
ance discover'd his not being much concern'd. And this hard Temper I was afraid would continue with him to the time of his Death; but thro' GOD's great Mercy it did not; for at the nearer approach of that King of Terrors I found that what had been laid before him to bring him to Repentance, began to make some impression on, and mollify, his obdurate Heart. Then he exprest his Grief for all his Sins, and particularly the heinous Crime that had brought this severe (but condign) Punishment upon him; and he fully confest, That he was Guilty of wilful Murther: That the Person he kill'd had not in the least provok'd nor challeng'd him to it; and, That out of a covetous, malicious, and cruel Heart he did it; thinking to find with the Deceased a great deal of Gold, Money, &c. but he was disappointed therein, for he found but little of that about him. The manner of his committing that barbarous Murther (which he said none but himself knew any thing of, or was concern'd in) was by a Hammer he carry'd in his Pocket for that wicked Purpose, and with which he struck him in divers places on the Head, and other Parts. When he had made an end of this his Confession, I represented to him the horrible nature of that Fact, and the greatness of his Guilt; earnestly exhorting him duly to consider it, and take it to Heart, to the end he might so repent of it, as to obtain GOD's Pardon for it; without which he must be eternally miserable.
With such Exhortations as I thought most proper to move him, I endeavour'd to reclaim him out of his dangerous State. And this I did till he was carry'd to the Tree; where I attended him, and the rest of the Dying Criminals, for the last time; and after the usual Performance of my Ministerial Office to their Souls, I left them. When I was withdrawn from them, and they had desir'd the Standers-by to take Warning by them, and pray for their departing Souls, they apply'd themselves to their private Devotion, for which they had some Time allotted them: Then the Cart drew away; and they were turn'd off; while each of them was earnestly calling upon GOD for the Pardon of his Sins, and the Salvation of his Soul, in these and the like Ejaculations: Lord! have Mercy upon me! Lord, save me! Lord JESUS, receive my Spirit!
This is all the Account here to be given of these Malefactors, by me,

It is dark outside, fog has settled in on top of about one inch of snow, and there is just a hint of wind through the trees. This is a time that calls for solitude and prayer, reflection and withdrawing from the world to get a clearer glimpse of who you are, what you are doing, and where life is taking you (1). Do not mistake this time of solitude for aloneness, as it is so rich with the animate and inanimate influences on you at the current moment that you will need to discipline yourself not to get distracted from the journey within and the being in communication with God.
To feel alone is to feel separated, and that is a frame of mind that can be defeated through opening oneself to the knowledge that we are always connected to the world and to the God that created and is always present in it. Only we can proclaim ourself alone, for the creation around us is constantly reminding us of our connection to it. The Celtic way of prayer dispels the separation, inviting us into communion with creation.

On June 1, 2014 Tecla's K-9 Academy will be opening doors for business to their second training, daycare and boarding facility located in Elkridge, MD, conveniently situated near several popular routes for Baltimore commuters. With a 13,000 sq. ft. center, custom built kennels and boarding suites, a training room sound system, high-grade epoxy floors for sanitary control, and numerous other comforts, the new facility is set to be one of the most well-appointed, state-of-the-art dog training and daycare centers in the U.S. There is even a retail boutique for a host of dog food, treats and toys, as well as Tecla's K-9 Academy gear.
Ms. Tecla Walton, CPDT-KA, Pack to Basics Certified and founder of K-9 Academy, is determined to meet Maryland dog owner's needs. "Our number one priority has always been to help dogs and their owners and with the addition of our second location we will be able to do this on an even larger scale. I see so many people come in with their dogs after being released from another daycare because their dog is 'unsociable' or after seeing two or three other trainers without success, and we turn these dogs around. It is a beautiful thing to be a part of these transformations and I am excited that my team and I will be able to reach out to more of the people and dogs that need our help," says Ms. Walton.
Nationally renowned for her dog training skills, specifically in puppy imprinting, behavioral modification and dog sport, Ms. Walton has been achieving significant results in the greater Baltimore area and beyond. She is also responsible for saving the lives of hundreds of rescued and forgotten dogs, which were suffering from severe behavioral problems and having difficulty being placed in a home.

Interest Kamen Rider Fourze TV Series' Preview Streamed
posted on 2011-08-21 21:30 EDT by Egan Loo
The Japanese broadcaster TV Asahi began streaming a preview for the new Kamen Rider Fourze television series this weekend. The 13th live-action special-effects series in the Kamen Rider franchise's modern Heisei era will premiere on September 4.
The new series will feature the "first astronaut Rider" to mark the 40th anniversary of Shotaro Ishinomori's Kamen Rider franchise and the 50th anniversary of the first manned space flight. The "Rider version of the 'adolescent school drama'" will center around high school students who dream about outer space. The main character is Gentarō Kisaragi, a "bad boy" who transfers into a new school as a second-year student. When Kentarō meets a schoolmate named Kengo Utahoshi with a mysterious "Astro Switch," the fateful switch turns on, and Kamen Rider Fourze is born.

During a time of year in which giving thanks and appreciation is more than appropriate, we turn to Dove Valley, where the Broncos have found no shortage of blessings to count over the past four weeks.
While a number of people have played a role in pushing Denver's record to 6-5 with an undefeated November, there is one man who might be due more gratitude than anyone associated with the Orange & Blue:
Von Miller. Not necessarily on board? Please consider the following list:
In today's NFL, franchises are made or broken by their ability to draft effectively. The former Broncos quarterback started his personnel management career with the highest pick in Denver history staring him in the face. Obviously, there is still a mountain of work to be done to return the organization to perennial contention. But with a number of different options (none a particularly clear-cut leader), Denver took Miller over the likes of Marcell Dareus (solid thus far, but not spectacular) and Patrick Peterson (punt returns are nice, but constant QB pressure is better). His credentials already in question due to lack of experience, Elway couldn't miss with the number two overall pick. It appears he has not.
John Fox & Dennis Allen
Fox was hired largely due to his prowess as a "defensive-minded" coach. Allen is the team's sixth different defensive coordinator in as many seasons. The Broncos ranked at or near the bottom of every defensive category – including dead last in sacks with 23. Thus far in 2011, they are tied for seventh in the NFL in sacks with 30. More importantly, the defense is applying consistent pressure without the use of exotic blitz schemes that create vulnerability in other areas. The pass rush generated largely by Miller and Elvis Dumervil (more on him next) has been huge in the 15 points-per-game effort the defense has posted in the five Bronco wins with Tim Tebow behind center.
Elvis Dumervil
After missing all of 2010, the return of Dumervil to the Denver front seven is a key component to the Broncos success. However, the reality is that in Dumervil's 17-sack 2009, only three were produced over season's final five games. Faced with no other viable pass rushing threat, Denver opponents could double-team Dumervil with no recourse. The addition of Miller has allowed Dumervil to take advantage of one-on-one situations once again and the sixth-year defensive end has 5 ½ sacks to show for it.
Champ Bailey & Andre Goodman
Bailey was very vocal on Sports Radio 104.3 "The Fan" (my employer, in the interest of full-disclosure) yesterday about how much easier his job is when the front seven is able to apply pressure to the quarterback. Of course, the 13-year veteran normally proves effective regardless, so more telling is the play of Goodman, the corner opposite Champ. The 33-year old, considered by many to have lost a step, has been outstanding over the last month with four of his six passes defensed and an interception return for a touchdown coming in that stretch.
Tim Tebow
I save the most obvious for last. Tebow's late game heroics cannot be denied. However, as has been well-documented, his play during the first 3+ quarters of most of his starts has been less than spectacular. Regardless, Tebow supporters have one empirical statistic to use in answering the skeptics and doubters: his 5-1 record as a starting quarterback. While no. 15 seems to have inspired the entire squad (which sounds somewhat ridiculous—we are talking about professional athletes, after all), it is the noticeably improved defense (fueled largely by the play of Miller) that has been most instrumental in Denver's current push.

Lycopene, a free radical-fighting antioxidant, lives in tomatoes.
The Physicians Committee (TPC) is a nonprofit 501c3 organization of Washington, D.C. that says antioxidants like lycopene get rid of free radicals, which stops them from attaching to your cells and bringing troubles to your immune system.
Lycopene is a pigment often found in red fruits and vegetables, naturally giving pink grapefruit and tomatoes their pink and red hues.
TPC says research shows lycopene to be effective in helping to prevent prostate, lung and stomach cancers. The group backs lycopene's ability to reduce cancers of the pancreas, colon and rectum, esophagus, oral cavity, breast and cervix.
"This hearty antioxidant provides a two-for-the-price-of-one deal as it may help reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease by reducing LDL ("bad") cholesterol and lowering blood pressure," TPC says.
Tomatoes are popular sources of lycopene, while the antioxidant comes in smaller doses in foods like guava, watermelon, pink grapefruit, papaya, sweet red peppers and carrots, according to the American Cancer Society .
TPC suggests getting lycopene from sources where it's most effective and abundant - cooked tomatoes with a meal containing just touch of fat, like your favorite Italian dishes and olive oils.
Try drinking a glass of pink grapefruit juice with scrambled egg whites, mixing sun-dried tomatoes to a salad for lunch and adding salsa to your snack.
"Of course, this is not a green light to eat tons of french fries with ketchup in the name of cancer prevention," TPC says. "No amount of lycopene can undo the damage of an artery clogging-diet."

In re Schneider
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
In re Schneider , 148 U.S. 162 (1893)
In re Schneider (No. 2.)
No number
Decided March 14, 1893
Leave to file petitions for writs of habeas corpus and certiorari to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, or the officers of the District acting under a judgment of that court, will be denied when the ground of the application relates to an error in the proceedings of that court, and does not go to its jurisdiction or authority.
This was a petition to this Court by Howard J. Schneider and Jeremiah M. Wilson, William F. Mattingly, and A. A. Hoehling, Jr., his attorneys, and in his behalf. The allegations in the petition were substantially identical with those in the petition set forth in the margin in In re Schneider, Petitioner (No. 1), ante, 148 U. S. 157. The prayer was as follows:
"Wherefore your petitioners pray that the writ of habeas corpus issue to Jerome B. Burke, the warden of the United States jail in the District of Columbia, commanding him to produce the body of the petitioner, Schneider, in court forthwith, together with the cause of his detention as a prisoner by said warden, and that petitioner, Schneider, may be discharged and set at liberty, and petitioners furthermore pray
that the writ of certiorari may issue to John R. Young, Clark of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, commanding him to certify to this court all the proceedings of record of the United States against Howard J. Schneider in that court, to the end that the errors therein, as set forth in this petition, may be fully corrected by this court."
The same reasons were given as were given there for the action of the attorneys in uniting in the petition and for its nonverification by Schneider.

green beans with almond pesto
Just when I thought if my appetite ennui became any more listless I might have to change lines of work, the greatest thing happened: I ran out of space. I mean, I am fully At Capacity right now with baby, there is literally not another inch of my midsection that this child can annex for his/her condo renovation or whatever it does at night (you hear that, darling? mama even ceded her belly button!) and this has shifted my appetite one final time, yet at last for the better. Meat is out, starchy carbs are out, I just can't, they're too heavy, and in their place are heaps of vegetables with a side order of All The Watermelon. For once, my timing is impeccable as this coincides with the full swing of local farmers markets, with freshly picked piles of summer everywhere you turn. I've been angling for as many all-vegetable meals as I can pull off — mixtures of our summer go-tos like this zucchini saute, caprese, quick-cooked corn, roasted baby potatoes with herbs, and pretty much anything green, roasted to a blistering crisp with lemon juice — with just enough chicken or sausage on the side to please the 2/3 of my family not currently repulsed by such things.

When Taking Back Sunday got news that their last album, Where You Want to Be, had debuted at #3 on the Billboard albums chart, it was the tail end of the 2004 Warped Tour and they were on a bus somewhere between Detroit and Milwaukee. As such, they could only muster a modest celebration.
"We could only have a tiny party in the front of our bus," bassist Matt Rubano said. "We didn't break anything, nothing caught on fire. There wasn't any screaming or nudity. Basically we just realized that we were really lucky. And we wanted to continue to work hard to stay lucky."
They did just that, spending the next 12 months touring with Green Day and Jimmy Eat World (see "Monsters Of Emo: Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday To Tour In April" ), making videos with former Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge (see "Blink-182's DeLonge Directs Video For Taking Back Sunday" ) and popping up on soundtracks for movies and video games (see "Taking Back Sunday Donate Song To 'Fantastic Four' Game" ).
In September they headed out to Los Angeles to begin work on a new album with Good Charlotte and Queens of the Stone Age producer Eric Valentine (see "Taking Back Sunday Record New Album, Duck Crazy People In Los Angeles" ). They finished up those sessions New Year's Day. And now, almost 21 months since Where You Want to Be sold an astonishing 163,000 copies in its first week of release, Taking Back Sunday return with Louder Now, a big, ballsy, monster of a rock record that could make them superstars.
And the funny thing is, no matter where Louder Now debuts on the chart (it should be pretty high, although it will be up against Rihanna's A Girl Like Me, Bruce Springsteen's We Shall Overcome — The Seeger Sessions and Godsmack's IV), it's a safe bet the guys in TBS will celebrate in much the same way they did on that tour bus: with modesty.
"Honestly, we don't think about numbers or anything like that — unless it's like a time signature or something like that. And as far as the where the last album debuted, that was cool, but I'm more concerned with playing these new songs live," frontman Adam Lazzarra said. "It could debut at #800 or negative four and I wouldn't care. We just want people to like it."
"The way we've done everything up until this point has been really natural, and we've always equated really hard work with success," Rubano added. "And at this point, to start looking at things any other way would be bad, because we do things in a very grass-roots way. It's all been very steady and gradual, so we're just going to stay working hard and playing shows. And I think we're ready for anything."
They should be. Because when Louder Now hits stores April 25, it carries with it not just the expectations of a major label (it's the band's first effort for Warner Bros.) but of TBS's thousands of diehard fans. And while the former may be happy with what they hear on the album — big, swaggering chops, complex loud/soft dynamics and a killer first single ("MakeDamnSure") — the latter may feel somewhat alienated by the band Taking Back Sunday have become.
"We've had all the creative freedom to do exactly what we want to do with this album … and we're really happy with the results. It's definitely the most important thing we've ever done," Rubano said. "We just want to put our heads down and play, but we acknowledge the fact that some people might not want to come along with us. But hopefully we'll be able to win those people over."
"The only expectations we were aware of were our own. We live in our own little Taking Back Sunday bubble," Lazzarra added. "We keep getting these questions about 'feeling the pressure' and to be honest, the only pressure we felt was from Eric to make the best record possible. And we didn't put much stock in anything else."
With the video for "MakeDamnSure" about to hit the airwaves and a full-scale North American tour slated to kick off Friday (see "Taking Back Sunday Announce First Tour As Major-Label Artists" ), the future looks bright for TBS. But no matter how big they get, they've pledged to never forget where they came from. It's a pretty clichéd thing to say, but you get the feeling Taking Back Sunday mean it: for proof, you need only look at the covers of each of their albums … at the three little numbers they've included in the artwork.
"Each of our albums have the number '152' on them, because on Highway 40 in North Carolina, going between Chapel Hill and High Point, the area I'm from, there's exit 152. My friends and I would make the trip from High Point to Chapel Hill to see shows, and we'd always stop at that exit," Lazzarra said. "And we keep it in the artwork to help us remember where we came from and to let everybody at home know that they're all still on our minds."
Track list for Taking Back Sunday's Louder Now, according to Warner Bros.:
- "What's It Feel Like to Be a Ghost?"
- "Liar (It Takes One to Know One)"
- "MakeDamnSure"
- "Up Against (Blackout)"
- "My Blue Heaven"
- Twenty-Twenty Surgery"
- "Spin"
- "Divine Intervention"
- "Miami"
- "Error Operator"
- "I'll Let You Live"

Going through labor and birth is sort of like running a marathon.
We have 3 goals in exercise. One is prevention. Two is preparation. Three is restoration.
We prevent things like back ache, shoulder aches, neck aches, urinary leaking.
We prepare for birth: Strengthen your abdominal muscles to squeeze baby out like toothpaste! Learn to breathe deeply and get lots of oxygen for baby. Learn to control muscles of the pelvic floor to be able to relax them during labor.
We restore our body back to normal after the birth much easier, if you begin gentle exercises within a week after baby is born.
Walking is always great. 1 mile a day or more.

College Hockey:Brittain, Denver hold off Miami for inaugural NCHC Frozen Faceoff title
MINNEAPOLIS — With less than two minutes remaining in the game that would determine the final team in the NCAA tournament, Miami turned Denver's two-goal lead into a 4-3 battle to the final second.
But it wasn't enough.
NCHC playoffs
See the tournament bracket and get links to schedules and stories at NCHC Playoff Central.
Miami's Anthony Louis caught a pass at the side of the net and shot it past Brittain (23 saves) at 18:27 of the third period, though the goaltender's poise on the ice was never shaken.
"Obviously you can't let that stuff rattle you," Brittain said. "They're a good team. … We were able to keep them away, keep them pinned in their zone and we stuck to our game plan and obviously it worked out very good. But tons of credit for them: They made it a long night for us and we were able to hold them off and get the win."
The night began in favor of Denver as it controlled the game in the opening frame when Nolan Zajac fired a point shot that put the Pioneers (20-15-6) ahead.
Daniel Doremus contributed to the lead when he buried a rebound past Ryan McKay (24 saves) at 13:48.
The Pioneers searched for another goal as a hooking penalty on Miami's Alex Wideman at 18:19 left them with the man advantage, but the RedHawks' tenacity began to show after a slow start.
"That was a huge kill," Miami coach Enrico Blasi said. "We started to get a little more aggressive. We started to get our legs. We had no energy. Our guys came out flat. I'll take full blame for that — that was unacceptable in a championship game. I thought we got some momentum from that penalty kill."
That momentum carried into the second period as Louis caught a rebound on an odd bounce off the boards from Sean Kuraly and sent it past Brittain.
Kuraly tallied another goal for Miami (15-20-3) at 16:08 to tie the game at 2-2.
With one spot left to fill in the national tournament, Denver and Miami each took the ice in the third period with one goal in mind.
"We weren't letting that victory slip out of our hands," Denver forward Zac Larraza said. "We knew what we had to do. We just put our minds to it and went out and worked."
It didn't take long before Larraza took a shot at McKay from the circle to take back the lead at 1:06 of the final frame.
When Emil Romig caught a pass in front of the net minutes later, the two-goal lead Denver built looked to hold steady.
Louis' goal in the final minutes proved otherwise, but the final buzzer awarded the Pioneers the championship.
Finishing as the No. 6 seed in the NCHC, finding a spot on the national stage didn't look to be a simple feat for Denver.
The last time the Pioneers didn't make the national tournament was 2007, and the race to continue the tradition wasn't as long as it looked to be.
"To be honest, with the group of guys we have, it wasn't far at all," Larraza said. "You saw how hard we worked last weekend and this weekend. We didn't think it was out of reach at all. We knew what we had to do and we put our minds to it and look what happened: We're in the NCAA tournament, so we're all pretty happy with the outcome this weekend."
For Miami, the sting of the end of a season brings back memories of months prior.
"We've got a lot of work to do, there's no question about it," Blasi said. "You can't finish last in the league and try to make a run at the end. I thought our guys did as good a job as they could, but we needed that kind of consistency in January and February and we didn't have it."
In his first year behind the bench at Denver, Jim Montgomery saw his team overcome what he knew they could in clinching the NCHC championship over a strong opponent.
"Really proud of our student athletes," Montgomery said. "The things that they've overcome — just the ups and downs with injuries this season, it's amazing what they've been able to overcome. The resiliency and the responses we've had all year, I'm not surprised with what I thought was our best team effort tonight against a great team in Miami, who showed why they were preseason No. 1."

In Safe Words, which picks up where the Deviations series left off, Tobias, Noah and Phan are all working on finding their place, both at Bradford's club and in their personal lives. They're all living together, and Tobias has taken on the roll of full-time Dom, which he loves, but finds incredibly challenging. While Noah finds comfort in the new state of things and is looking forward to deeper submission, Phan is finding it harder to strike a balance. Too many changes happening too fast are making Phan act out, and neither Tobias nor Noah are sure how to deal with it. Life is not perfect for Bradford, either, as he discovers new feelings for his sub Nikki. Can Tobias help his friend, manage his job teaching the other Doms, and his relationships with Noah and Phan, or will the house that he's built for himself fall down around their ears? The Deviations series includes: Deviations Submission, Deviations Domination, Deviations Discipline and Deviations Bondage.

Sophisticated communications are a fundamental tool for modern battlefield troops. But one side effect of technology's growing role is the fact that batteries carried by U.S. Marine Corps IT troops to operate radios in tactical environments have grown in weight by more than 1,000 percent since 9/11.
Lightening that load on combat soldiers is one of the many challenges facing Brig. Gen. Kevin Nally, who is director of command, control, communications and computers (C4) for the U.S. Marine Corps, as well as the deputy CIO for the Department of the Navy and deputy commanding general of Marine Forces Cyber Command.
Nally's boss, Gen. James Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps, set an energy-efficiency vision in place several years ago. So Nally has sought innovative ways to ensure that Marines in the field can meet energy requirements even as demands increase.
One part of the solution is the Ground Renewable Expeditionary Energy System (GREENS), a portable photovoltaic and battery hybrid system developed for Marines in remote locations. Thanks to GREENS, Marines in Afghanistan now have solar panel systems to power generators and portable batteries, eliminating the need for dangerous battery resupply missions in combat areas. Marines have fewer batteries to carry, so their gear loads are lighter, and they have room for more ammunition, food, water and clothing.
"Our generators are now being powered with solar panels, and that means no fuel resupplies. It saves lives and fuel delivery costs," Nally said. "They also don't need generator mechanics, which lightens the tactical footprint. The forward operating bases are quieter at night because you're not running the generator on diesel fuel or JP8 [jet fuel]."
A High-Level Perspective
Of course, Nally's duties extend beyond overseeing energy efficiency. As the Marine Corps CIO, he defines and develops appropriate terms and conditions for buying the hardware and software that will connect to the Marine Corps' enterprise network. And he's in charge of securing the network anywhere Marines operate, whether it's a remote unit in Afghanistan or a domestic desktop in an office back home in the United States.
Nally's office worked with Marine Corps Systems Command and Department of Defense CIO Teri Takai's office to create a purchasing program for the Navy's IT equipment. Hewlett-Packard replaces non-Navy Marine Corps intranet hardware and software under the Common Hardware Suite program, so the company handles the transaction if a Navy computer breaks down in the U.S.
But the Marine Corps retains direct control over military equipment in the field, so if a computer breaks down in a mission zone overseas, the Marines remediate that problem directly and likely more quickly than a third-party provider would.
"We do that because of security reasons, because we know we can provide the best security for our networks," he said. "If the Marines need help with their network or their computers, we provide it faster and more responsively."
Nally's currently implementing a data standardization practice to ensure that machines and systems in his network exchange data more easily. He wants to reduce data dependency so personnel can share and access information without too many headaches, whether they're aboard ship or on shore.
"Anonymity, I think, needs to be eliminated for mission-related, sensitive data applications," he said. "It must be interlinked when you do a search, a query, compile information or turn it into something usable. Across all our programs, we need better standardization."
Unfortunately, establishing common data sets across such a vast military enterprise may take longer than Nally would like. Yet he's accepted the fact that his job comes with unavoidable hurdles, like the time required to get things done, but it's tough.
"When I need something done, I like it done yesterday," Nally said.
Wading Through Fog
Nally also started migrating applications and programs to the Marine Corps Enterprise IT Services Center (MCEITS), a hosted computing environment that's the centerpiece of the Marines' data center service consolidation strategy.
But don't call it a cloud. He jokingly coined the phrase "fog computing" last fall after he became fed up with using "cloud computing" as a label for hosted services. He found the term nebulous and confusing, so he had fun with it.
"I stood outside the Pentagon one day and it was a really foggy day with my CTO, Mr. Dave Green, and I said, 'You know, I'm really sick of the term 'cloud computing' because I go to meetings and get different definitions of cloud.'"
His solution? Just call it a fog. After all, fog is close to the ground, unlike clouds, so people can touch it, just like how people can touch computers in a hosted environment. Apparently the name is catching on.
"I'm going into the DISA [Defense Information Systems Agency] headquarters at Fort Meade and two people said, 'This fog computing effort, can you explain what this is all about?' And I said, 'Right now, it's a Marine Corps secret. That's about all I can tell you.'"
Past and Present Achievements
Nally said his current job is the most fascinating and frustrating of his career. But he comes to the CIO post with a wide range of leadership experience. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps in 1981 after graduating from Eastern Kentucky University with a bachelor of science in agronomy and natural resources. Nally spent the 1980s rising through military ranks and beginning IT training, and in 1989, he served as the communications platoon commander in operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. He held various military positions and received additional IT training over the next two decades, including serving as the commanding officer of the Marine Corps Communication-Electronics School.
Nally came back from his experiences with several honors, including the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit with one gold star, the Navy-Marine Corps Commendation Medal with three gold stars, and the Combat Action Ribbon.
He also developed a keen appreciation for the people he works with. "I am blessed with a lot of very intelligent and experienced people that make me look smarter than I am," he said. "I always put people first, and I try to treat others more importantly than myself, and I think if you do that then people will kind of habitually want to work for you to get the job done."
As for the future, Nally points to three goals as his legacy. "Whenever I leave this job, I want people to feel good that they were able to work for us; I want a successful transition out of the Navy Marine Corps Intranet into our government-owned, government-operated network; and I want to see MCEITS continually grow."

ill go out on a limb here. we hung around last time and im thinking we can win this one. if somehow we manage to slow them down a lil
Slow them down and try to play smart at the end of the fourth quarter!! We have nealy no more injuries, one month ago, when all the players were healthy, we were a winning team, we can win this one!
We are looking good at the moment.
Up by 2 at 3 qtr time.
We just need to keep fighting fire with fire and make sure we keep our composure in the end, winning this game could get us back on the right track.
Come On Knicks!
Even though the knicks lost, I am not dissapointed in them at all. They played hard. They rebounded, played defense, made smart plays. They played with heart and determination. Something I havent seen from them in a long time. Phoenix just has that ability and caliber of players to accelerate a game at any time, and the Knicks held them in check. Overall good job, despite the loss.
Overall good effort by the Knicks, well atleast in three quarters. Its not as if they werent trying in the 4th quarter, becuase i can tell they wanted this win bad and were playing hard, but it comes down to execution. They HAVE to execute in the fourth if they want to win games. This means Steph going to the the basket every time or running the pick and roll with Kurt. They played very hard this game and thats what counts. Im not mad at all becuase I saw a good effort which makes me very happy. Dont foget...Pheonix is the best team in the league!!
the reason they lose games in the 4th Q is because they are not a good team. all good teams come from behind inthe 4th Q and win. bad teams give up their leads. it happens all the time. it doesnt really have that much to do with "heart" or "putting the other team away", its just like a champion boxer who lets the little guy hang around and takes a couple of punches, maybe even lets the little guy win a little because he knows hes better and he'll make up for it later, and then in the later round he just gets mad and realizes enough is enough and just takes over and beats the smaller guy.
the knicks are a sorry team with no fight in them. isiah has built a loser.
The Knicks played a very solid game but it's disapointing once again to see them put themselves in a position to win the game but yet again blow it.
This is the difference from the Knicks developing from a '.500' team to one of the more elite teams who can close out a game.
Well all this losing maybe a positive. This team needs a lesson in winning and they must do it the hard way so they'll be able to do it for a long time. This team still needs some changes but hey Steph is playing like his old self again. Oh well, 11 games under .500 oh well.
i actually think the knicks will rebound. they will probably win a couple of games in a row when their schedule eases up and houston commes back and they regain some chemistry. they might end up with 37-38 wins for the year, and MAYBE get an 8 seed for the playoffs and MAYBE vie for the weak atlantic division title. to me, they are about a .470 win percentage team, plus or minus 40 percentage points.
[quote="the knicks are a sorry team with no fight in them. isiah has built a loser.[/quote]
WOW!! How impatient are you. Isiah is not even close to done rebuliding. He has not built a loser, he is BUILDING a winner. Isiah is a great GM dont pay attention to these people who say hes not. How come people havent thought of the fact that he has brought on these above average players with big contracts with only a few years remaining so he will clear cap in the near future while having a mediocre team in the process. He chose to go a different route than most GM's and walk the line between rebuilding and contending.
that effort against any other team is a win i bet
That effort would definetly given us a W against most teams in this league this is why we need that intensity and effort everytime we step out on the floor.Originally Posted by pbjb14
