If this tweet is any indication…
when I walked into @thewanted's living room, there was women's underwear hanging from the chandelier, no joke #thewantedlife
— Ryan Seacrest (@RyanSeacrest) May 28, 2013
…The Wanted Life is not going to be G-rated.
This morning on Today, Matt Lauer and co. interviewed the boys of The Wanted (minus the ailing Nathan) about their upcoming E! reality show.
"There's going to be a bit of nudity," confesses Siva. He and bandmate Tom both have girlfriends, and when asked what the ladies think about all this, we learn that they were actually living with the boys during the process. "It was quite difficult at first," according to Siva, "But once you put a line down, you can live in harmony."
But what of the other women in their life: their mothers? "They've seen it all before." Takes a cool mom to laugh off panties on a chandelier.
We'll be live tweeting the premiere of The Wanted Life this Sunday at 10 PM EST on E!. Join us! We'll be glad you came, and so forth.

|Between the lines: When culture, language and poetry meet in the classroom
|Charlotte Melin
|University of Minnesota at Twin Cities
|Linguistic Field:
|Applied Linguistics
|Teaching poetry in second language (L2) classrooms raises theoretical and practical questions about how best to treat literature when target language and culture is also being negotiated. Current pedagogy derives from disparate sources, including the experientially-driven practices of individual teachers, the quantitative and qualitative research methodologies of Second Language Acquisition, and the aesthetic, historical, and philosophical traditions of literature and cultural studies. This paper surveys the knowledge base that shapes literature pedagogy, examines the conceptual implications of two common approaches (close reading and genre-based treatments), and argues for new teaching objectives.

In a recent meeting that was held, Nokia made a shocking announcement. This time though, it is not about a new phone running the MeeGo OS or Windows Phone 7, but it is about the plans that the company has to bring back the times when Nokia was the leader of the smartphone industry.
Nokia Slashes Prices
The strategy they have adapted seems to be a very simple one – reduce the rates. That is what the Finnish giant is going to do. Their flagship model Nokia N8 will have a price reduction of 15% and that my help the sales of the phone. Not only that, but the other major phones like the Nokia C7 and Nokia E6 will also be seeing their prices fall by 15%. The price drop will be there for most of the phones, but the devices that will have bigger price reduction are the high end smartphones. This is termed as a business strategy, but we all know the mobile phone giant is trying to gain some customers at least now. The Finnish giant has lost most of the customers in the smartphone range and that is the reason that the company has seen a nearly 15% fall in the number of Nokia smartphone holders. Nokia had a share of 39% in the smartphone world at the start of the year, but now the share is 25%.
Nokia N9 Shock
If the above news was a shocking one, here is one that will make the people in US, UK and other European countries quite angry. In the same announcement, Nokia also declared that their new smartphone Nokia N9 will not be available in those countries and that has left most of them speechless.

It takes more than 10 billion years to create just the right conditions on one planet for life to begin. It takes another three billion years of evolving life forms until it finally happens, a primate super species emerges: mankind. In conjunction with History Channel's hit television series by the same name, Mankindis a sweeping history of humans from the birth of the Earth and hunting antelope in Africa's Rift Valley to the present day with the completion of the Genome project and the birth of the seven billionth human. Like a Hollywood action movie, Mankindis a fast-moving, adventurous history of key events from each major historical epoch that directly affect us today such as the invention of iron, the beginning of Buddhism, the crucifixion of Jesus, the fall of Rome, the invention of the printing press, the Industrial Revolution, and the invention of the computer. With more than 300 color photographs and maps, Mankindis not only a visual overview of the broad story of civilization, but it also includes illustrated pop-out sidebars explaining distinctions between science and history, such as why there is 700 times more iron than bronze buried in the earth, why pepper is the only food we can taste with our skin, and how a wobble in the earth's axis helped bring down the Egyptian Empire. This is the most exciting and entertaining history of mankind ever produced.

DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Herald is reporting that Dolphins running back Ricky Williams has once again violated the NFL's substance abuse policy and is facing a one-year suspension.
According to reports, Williams faces a one-year suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy for the fourth time in his seven-year career.
It does not mean that Williams necessarily failed a drug test, but that he might not have taken a required test.
Former Dolphins wide receiver O.J. McDuffie said Williams' reported drug lapse is a letdown for any Miami fan.
"After last season, they accepted him back," McDuffie told Local 10. "They love Ricky and what he did on the field, and now everybody's hurt again. So it's been an emotional roller coaster for the fans and, I'm sure, the teammates."
Williams came to Miami in 2002 after three troubled seasons with the New Orleans Saints and led the league in rushing in his first season with the Dolphins.
The 1998 Heisman Trophy winner tested positive for marijuana in December 2003 and during the offseason in 2004, then abruptly retired shortly before the 2004 season.
The Dolphins finished that season 4-12 -- their worst record since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.
He returned to the Dolphins in 2005 -- sitting out the first four games for violating the NFL's drug policy -- and split time in the backfield with first-round draft pick Ronnie Brown.
News of Williams' reported substance abuse violation initially came from a TV station in Denver, where the Dolphins were believed to have been shopping Williams around in the hopes of a trade with the Broncos.
Because of privacy laws, neither the Dolphins organization nor the NFL has commented on the reports.
Williams is in India and unavailable for comment.
"He quit on the team again," McDuffie said. "This is the second time he's quit on those guys and you couldn't have him back right now, because this is definitely the second time he's quit."

DESERT ISLAND DOZENS: FRANK KIMBROUGH by Eric Novod (editor)
Not many jazz musicians have had a stronger revitalizing and sustaining impact on the everyday NYC jazz scene over the past two decades years than pianist/composer/educator Frank Kimbrough. Aside from his previous and current work as a sideman with Dewey Redman, Maria Schneider, and Kendra Shank, among others, Kimbrough's groups as a leader and co-leader represent his generation's foremost post-bop piano recordings.
From 1992 – 2005, Kimbrough and Ben Allison (another "Desert Island Dozens" participant), co-led NYC's Jazz Composer's Collective, and out of this fruitful performing/recording co-op came many of Kimbrough's finest collaborations: a duet project with vibraphonist Joe Locke, trios with bassist Ben Allison and drummers Matt Wilson or Jeff Ballard, a group with Ben Monder, Scott Robinson and Tony Moreno called Noumena, and performances as a member of groups led by Ben Allison, Ted Nash, Ron Horton and Michael Blake.
Kimbrough's two most recent post-Collective records—Play, a roomy 2006 trio outing with Masa Kamaguchi and Paul Motian, and Air, his debut solo piano recording in 2008—have earned Kimbrough spots on multiple "record of the year" lists in recent years.
After sifting through his record collection, Frank Kimbrough presents the twelve individual jazz tracks he simply can't live without in this latest installment of "Desert Island Dozens." The group of tracks that follows is an intriguing representation of the musicians who have most directly influenced the jazz world since 1960. From Paul Bley to Andrew Hill to Keith Jarrett and beyond, Kimbrough turns out a revealing, piano-heavy batch of tracks that educates us on what today's modern masters are listening to. E.N.
What makes a track a "desert island" pick? The answer is probably different for each individual, and can change with each passing day. As I look over my choices, though, my common denominators are warmth and joy. There are a couple of exceptions (and I'll let you figure out which they are), but whether played solo, duo, or by a trio, quartet, or big band, most of these tracks share those qualities. I strive to convey warmth and joy in my playing, and it's what I appreciate most in the composers and players whose music I love most. F.K.
Keith Jarrett: Shades of Jazz
Shades of Jazz
Keith Jarrett (piano)
Shades (Impulse 9322)
Keith Jarrett (piano), Dewey Redman (tenor sax), Charlie Haden (bass), Paul Motian (drums),
Guillerme Franco (percussion).
Composed by Keith Jarrett.
Recorded: New York City, 1975
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
Keith Jarrett's "American Quartet" with Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden and Paul Motian has always been one of my favorite bands, and this track, recorded in 1975, has stood out to me for a long time. Keith ambles through the changes in a way that sometimes reminds me of Bud Powell, and every time Dewey begins his solo, it sends a chill up my spine—even 30 years after hearing it for the first time. Charlie Haden and Paul Motian make it swing like crazy! Motian mentioned in an interview somewhere that he didn't like this track because at some point everyone was lost, but that's where the magic is for me. It's exciting and celebratory.
(Editor's Note: The Paul Motian interview that Mr. Kimbrough mentions above first appeared in Percussive Notes Magazine in 1995, but you can read it at the interviewer's website here. Motian discusses many of his musical encounters in great detail, and listens and reacts to some of his old recordings—including "Shades of Jazz.") – Eric Novod

Paul Bley: Dreams
Paul Bley (piano)
Alone, Again (Improvising Artists CD 123840)
Paul Bley (piano).
Composed by Annette Peacock.
Recorded: Oslo, Norway, August 8-9, 1974
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
This tune was composed by Annette Peacock, whose compositions have had a big influence on me. Her tunes are landscapes for improvisation, somehow very meticulous, yet very free—a very difficult balance to find as a composer, and perhaps even more difficult for someone interpreting and improvising on the written material. Paul is one of the most inventive pianists on the planet, and was a mentor to me when I was coming up. Ever the contrarian, he always looks at the other side of the coin. At the time of Alone, Again (1974), he was trying to be "the slowest pianist on the planet," and on this ballad, he gives us a taste of this concept: slow, lyrical, patient playing that allows the overtones to ring out, creating a piece of exquisite beauty filled with tension and release.

Andrew Hill: Erato
Andrew Hill (piano)
Pax (Blue Note 58297)
Andrew Hill (piano), Richard Davis (bass), Joe Chambers (drums).
Composed by Andrew Hill.
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, February 10, 1965
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
"Erato" is a masterpiece, one of many by Andrew Hill that I could have chosen for this list. It's named for the Greek goddess of love poetry, and more than lives up to its name. When Ben Allison, Ron Horton and I were playing the sessions that were the genesis of what became the Jazz Composers Collective, we discovered that we had each transcribed this tune. Comparing our transcriptions, we realized that even though the notes were the same, each of them was different in terms of how time signatures and chord changes were notated. This speaks to the inherent mystery of Andrew's music. It's hard to put your finger on it sometimes, but his tunes have an inner logic and architecture that is very strong. On this track from a 1965 quintet date (with Freddie Hubbard and Joe Henderson), Andrew plays in a trio format with Richard Davis and Joe Chambers.

Herbie Nichols: Beyond Recall
Beyond Recall
Herbie Nichols (piano)
Love, Gloom, Cash, Love (Bethlehem 3011)
Herbie Nichols (piano), George Duvivier (bass), Dannie Richmond (drums).
Composed by Herbie Nichols.
Recorded: New York City, November, 1957
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
"Beyond Recall" is from Herbie Nichols' last recording date as a leader, Love, Gloom, Cash, Love, recorded in 1957 with bassist George Duvivier and drummer Dannie Richmond. With dark chords in the left hand and a blues-based melody, it's almost like a combination of the blues form and "Rhythm" changes. Like many of Nichols' other compositions, this tune uses an extended AABA form, with a few harmonic twists and turns along the way. When I first heard Herbie's music, this track grabbed my ear right away, and it was among the first tunes of his that I transcribed. This eventually led to the formation of the Jazz Composers Collective's Herbie Nichols Project.

Old and New Dreams: Dewey's Tune
Dewey's Tune
Old and New Dreams
Old and New Dreams (Black Saint CD 120013)
Dewey Redman (tenor sax), Don Cherry (trumpet), Charlie Haden (bass), Ed Blackwell (drums).
Composed by Dewey Redman.
Recorded: October, 1976.
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
Comprised of Don Cherry, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden and Ed Blackwell, this group of Ornette Coleman alumni convened in the mid-70's for tours and several recordings. I was lucky to hear them live a number of times in the early 80's, and each time was a revelation. "Dewey's Tune" is from their first (and lesser known) eponymous album on the Black Saint label (1976)—recorded without the gloss of the later ECM studio recording (1979). This one tune showcases everything that the group had to offer: parade rhythms from Blackwell, hand-in-glove melodies from Cherry and Redman, springy, inventive bass lines from Haden, the group's patented call and response, and concise, always swinging solos from everyone. The beginning of Cherry's solo is a high point, but the whole tune is beautiful and perfectly exemplifies the ethos of Old and New Dreams.

Sonny Rollins & Coleman Hawkins: All The Things You Are
All The Things You Are
Sonny Rollins (tenor sax)
Sonny Meets Hawk! (RCA 63479)
Sonny Rollins (tenor sax), Coleman Hawkins (tenor sax), Paul Bley (piano), Roy McCurdy (drums), Bob Cranshaw (bass).
Composed by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein III.
Recorded: New York City, July 15, 1963
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
This track comes from the fabled Sonny Meets Hawk! sessions from July, 1963 with Rollins and Coleman Hawkins, and exhibits perhaps the most abstract playing of Rollins's career. This track also features one of the greatest piano solos ever from Paul Bley. While retaining bits and pieces of Jerome Kern's melody in their improvisations, Bley and Rollins both play against the time, the changes, and everything else, but still swing ferociously, while Henry Grimes on bass and Roy McCurdy on drums keep things together underneath it all.

Hampton Hawes (with Charlie Haden): As Long As There's Music
As Long As There's Music
Hampton Hawes (piano) and Charlie Haden (bass)
As Long As There's Music (Artists House AH 4)
Hampton Hawes (piano), Charlie Haden (bass).
Composed by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn.
Recorded: Los Angeles, California, August 21, 1976
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
This was Hampton Hawes' last recording as a leader, and perhaps his most beautiful. The master take of the title tune by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn (there's also an alternate take on the CD, which is now out of print), is an object lesson in the art of the duo. The way Haden and Hawes breathe together is incredible and subtle, allowing them to stretch the time and bring out the tune's (and their own) expressive qualities. Their history of playing together and shared musical wisdom is very much evidenced throughout this track and record.

The Individualism of Gil Evans (Verve 833 804-2)

Frank Rehak (trombone), Ray Alonge, Julius Watkins (French horns), Bill Barber (tuba), Al Block (flute), Andy Fitzgerald (bass flute), George Marge (English horn), Bob Tricarico (bassoon), Bob Maxwell (harp).
Composed by Kurt Weill.
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, NJ, July 9, 1964
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
Gil Evans' use of space, interesting combinations of instruments, and keen eye for talent are all in evidence on this track recorded in 1964. Using two French horns, trombone, tuba, flute, bass flute, English Horn, bassoon, and harp, with himself on piano, Gary Peacock on bass, Elvin Jones on drums, and Wayne Shorter on tenor sax, Evans conjures a spooky stillness on this piece from Kurt Weill's Three-Penny Opera. The melody moves around the band, with each section of the piece featuring a different lead voice or section of the ensemble, with Evans's piano commenting and complimenting before he drops out altogether. Shorter enters about halfway through the track, playing minimally and quietly, with suspense. It's dark, subtly veiled music, showcasing Evans's arranging abilities to their fullest.

Lennie Tristano: Line Up
Line Up
Lennie Tristano (piano)
Lennie Tristano / The New Tristano
Lennie Tristano (piano), Peter Ind (bass), Jeff Morton (drums).
Composed by Lennie Tristano.
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
Using early (1955) multi-tracking techniques in his home studio, Tristano recorded his piano over prerecorded rhythm tracks by bassist Peter Ind and drummer Jeff Morton. We'll probably never know for sure whether Tristano sped up the tapes in order to get the rather unusual piano sound, but it doesn't matter. This track is an amazing improvisation played over the chord changes to "All of Me," and a perfect example of Tristano's trademark lines and phrasing. If you want to check this tune out further, a transcription is included in Eunmi Shim's book Lennie Tristano: His Life in Music.

Chick Corea: My One and Only Love
My One and Only Love

Now He Sings, Now He Sobs (Blue Note 38265)
Chick Corea (piano), Miroslav Vitous (bass), Roy Haynes (drums).
Composed by Guy Wood and Robert Mellin.
Recorded: New York City, March, 1968
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
This track comes from my favorite Chick Corea session, which incredibly was awarded NO stars in a Downbeat review soon after it was released in the late 60's. History, however, has proved this to be one of the greatest piano trio recordings of the past fifty years.
This track wasn't included on the initial LP release, but appears on subsequent CD releases. It's the most beautiful version of this tune I've ever heard. Taken more up-tempo than usual, it contains elegant, joyous, interactive playing by Chick, Miroslav Vitous and Roy Haynes.

Herbie Hancock: Jackrabbit
Herbie Hancock (piano)
Inventions and Dimensions (Blue Note CD 9170)
Herbie Hancock (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Willie Bobo (drums),
Osvaldo "Chihuahua" Martinez (percussion).
Composed by Herbie Hancock.
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, August 30, 1963
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
This track is taken from Inventions and Dimensions, one of Herbie's earliest recordings as a leader for Blue Note in August, 1963. There's an introductory four-bar pedal tone, established by Paul Chambers, then sixteen bars of time, with Chambers walking. At the end of the sixteen bars, Chambers picks another pedal tone, then there's another sixteen bars of time. It's a very interesting strategy for a tune, because there's neither a written melody nor chord changes. Paul Chambers can choose whatever note he wants to play for the pedal tone, which then dictates the harmony over the next sixteen bars. Herbie plays beautiful, swinging, darting lines throughout this completely improvised yet thoroughly coherent piece, with Willie Bobo on drums and Osvaldo "Chihuahua" Martinez on congas and bongos.

Echoes from Africa (Enja ENJ-CD 3047)
Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) (piano, vocals),
Johnny Dyani (bass).
Recorded: Tonstudio Bauer, Germany, September, 1979
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
This traditional tune, presumably of South African origin, is a lovely, peaceful duet, sung and played by South African pianist Abdullah Ibrahim and bassist Johnny Dyani. It's basically a two-chord vamp—nobody plays anything particularly fancy, but it's warm and inviting, a great thing to hear first thing in the morning. It was beautifully recorded direct-to-disc (according to the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings) in 1979 at Tonstudio Bauer in Germany. This is a great example of making something rich out of almost nothing.

Feb. 13th .
1. JOHN CARBOLD , aged 35, was born at Halsen in the County of Suffolk, and bred a Baker in Yarmouth. Having
served out his Time, by the Assistance of his Friends he set up in that Trade for himself, and lived comfortably upon it; but he could no longer stick to this, when once he became acquainted with the Smuggling-Trade, but left his old Business to which he was bred, and took a House of publick Entertainment , chiefly for Smugglers, in the Town of Yarmouth. He lived here several Years, and got a good Penny by it, the Smuggling-Trade flourishing greatly at that Time; and feeling the Sweets and Profits of it, he was encouraged to venture among them both by Sea and Land. He does not pretend to deny having been a great Smuggler, but said, little did he think that Practise would have cost him so dear as his Life. As to Mischief and Cruelty, he says he never had a Hand in any; nor would he by any Means own that the Information (in Consequence of which, and for not surrendering, he stood as a Felon-Convict) was, or could, justly be laid against him, for that he was not at Benacre at the Time sworn to, and laid in the Proclamation against him. However, when he found how the Case stood, he thought fit to retire, with his Wife and Children, over to the Brill in Holland, where also he kept a Publick-House ; nor was he without the Company of Smugglers even there, and continued still to carry on Business upon the Suffolk Coast; and he says, what called him over to England at the Time he was taken, was to collect in what Monies he had out in the Country; and while thus employed, Carbold, and four more, were taken by a Party of Dragoons near Norwich, and brought to Newgate under a strong Guard.
His Wife, since his Conviction, came over from Holland, to take her last Farewell of him, but unfortunately died before him, leaving three small Children at the Brill, destitute of Parents to provide for them. His Behaviour in Newgate has been always quiet and inoffensive, and so he continued to the last, but never would be persuaded to own the Information against him to be true, viz. that he was assembled together at Benacre with divers other Persons, to the Number of 30 and upwards, to be aiding and assisting in landing and carrying away Goods liable to pay Custom, &c. as John Leader swore; tho' he forgave the Informer, he said, as he hop'd God would forgive him at the last Day, and died in Charity. As to the Justice of his Sentence, in Consequence of not surrendering, he acknowledged it, but said, if it were to do again he would not do it.
2. JOHN DOE , aged 26, was born at Stowmarket, in the County of Suffolk, being bred a Sieve-Maker with his Brother in the same Town, and lived there till within this three Years last past, with him. He does not deny having been a Smuggler, but says, he never did Harm to any Body, was never a Man that was riotous and troublesome to his Neighbours, but whatever he did with Respect to running of Goods, which he had been frequently concerned in, was always done quietly, and without any Interruption. He has followed the Smuggling Trade of late Years pretty much, as a Servant to others, but had very small Dealings for himself, being employed both at Sea and Land. But at last, an Information
being made against him before a Justice of Peace, for rescuing one Holt from Custody, he was obliged to keep out of the Way as much as he could, and so went over to the Brill in Holland; and says, he was there when he heard of his being outlaw'd. However, he could not be off his old Employment, but made frequent Trips from Holland, and other Places, to the Suffolk Coast, with Tea, Brandy, &c. and was concerned largely for other Smugglers. The Fact laid against him in the Information he never would own, but denied it to the last, saying, he was in Bed at Carbold's House at Yarmouth, at the Time the Rescue was sworn to be made. His Sentence, in Consequence of the Proceedings and Issues arising from the Information and Outlawry, he own'd to be very just, but could not help reflecting upon the Informer for some Time; and afterwards, being persuaded to think better of the Matter, he said he would forgive him from his Heart, and hoped that God would, tho' he had done him great Injury and Wrong. He said further, that he did not remember he had ever had any Ill-will or Quarrel with any Man, and could safely declare with his last Breath, that he died free from Malice and Hatred, and that he was to die in Love and Charity with all Men. His Behaviour (though quite illiterate) has, in Newgate, been uncommonly civil and quiet.
3. JAMES SUNDILAND, otherwise SCOTT , aged 26, was born at Westram, and lived eight Years with a Master in that Town. He lived for a short Time at several different Places in the Neighbourhood as a Journeyman Butcher , but never had any settled Habitation he said, for any Time, unless at Westram, where he set up in Trade, and had good Business for several Years: However, at the same Time, he does not deny but that he was concerned in buying and selling Tea and Brandy, sometimes more, and sometimes less, according as he could meet with it to his Purpose, or spare Money. He owns he was a Smuggler in the general, but says, he never was of any particular Gang, though shrewdly suspected of it. About two Years ago he was taken by a Party of Soldiers, and charged before a Justice of Peace with Smuggling in general, but no particular Fact laid against him; upon which Account however the Justice thought proper to commit him to the New Jail in Southwark. There he was confined a Prisoner for about a Fortnight, for further Examination, and in the Interim was several Times before the Justice, and nothing material appearing against him, some Friend of his applied to have him discharged; but this could not be brought about till a Petition in his Favour being drawn, was sent down to Westram, and returned back again, signed by a great Number of the principal Inhabitants of that Town and Neighbourhood, and then it was thought fit to set him at Liberty, as no particular Fact was laid to his Charge. Being thus discharg'd, he for some Time made good Use of his Enlargement, followed his Butcher's Business, and kept close to his Shop, his Courage being cooled for a while by his late Confinement. But as Fire that has Water thrown upon it, is abated for a while, and some Time after recovering, burns with
greater Heat, or stronger Flames, so, after he had been at Home long enough to let it slip his Mind, the true Temper of the Man broke forth into Outrages. It is said of him indeed, that in his sober Hours the Man was quiet enough, and a good Neighbour, but it seems when Liquor had inflamed him, he was of a very boisterous and troublesome Spirit; several Times, when he came from other Markets in Drink, he would ride about the Town of Westram, intimidating People with Threats and Menaces, so that it is imagined indeed they wished to get rid of him, so as he might have been transported, but did not desire nor wish him to be hanged, as appeared by Endeavours made, since his Conviction, to get him off for Transportation.
Among other Things, there was an Affair happened of taking by Force from an Exciseman at Sevenoaks, 2 Tubs of Brandy, which some People laid to his Charge; with respect to this, he said, that all he knew of the Matter was, that as he was going Homeward from some Market, he found indeed two Men had taken 2 Tubs of Brandy, from an Officer, and would have used the Man ill, but for his interposing; and that considering the Officer might have got something by the Seizure of it, he advised to give him Money to make amends for taking it from him. Accordingly he said, the Rescuer's of the Brandy agreed to it, but not having Money in their Pockets, borrowed half a Guinea of him, which by their Directions he gave to the Officer, and they paid him again afterwards. After this, an anonymous Letter threatening a Gentleman's Life, was thought to have been sent by Sundiland, but he denied all; and with Regard to the Letter, said, 'twas impossible it should come from him, as he never could write in his Life; however, there was a Complaint made against him, and a Debt of 80 l. was brought upon him, for which he was taken, and conveyed to Maidstone Goal .
While he was there, he was, no Doubt in Fear of Evidence being produced against him, and kept himself as much as he could from every Body's Sight, that came to the Goal. But, to the Keeper and all his People, he behaved in a very outragious Manner, and with Threats if not Blows, and other ill Usage, intimidated some of them so, that they did not care to come nigh him. But, however, by some Means or other, he says, the Evidences, that appeared against him, at his Trial had Sight of him; who knowing him well, declared possitively, that he was the Person, whom they saw in such Circumstances, as the Indictment sets forth, in Company with Arthur Gray , (who was executed in May 1748, for the same Offence) and others; and their Evidence being so positive, he could not but be found guilty yet as he did upon his Trial; so to the last, he persisted in saying, he never saw the Evidences in his Life, till they came to him to Maidstone Goal , among some other People that were about him; and further, that he never was at Lidd in his Life. He had some Hopes of saving Life, which made him put on the Appearance of Undauntedness;
but when all Hopes were past, he was more composed and resigned to the Will of Providence, and laid, he hop'd there was Mercy reserved for him hereafter.
4. Charles Gawen , aged 37, was born within 3 Miles of Beccles, and was bred a Shoemaker in the Town. About 5 Years after his Time was out, he took to the Sea, and was Owner of Boats and Keels , which he work'd in himself for some Time, before he became a Smuggler. But he has followed that Trade a few Years, he says, with Success, and whatever Business he was concern'd in was done without any Interruption. He said of himself, that he never was given to quarrelling, or committing any Outrages, and denied to the last, the Veracity of the Informer, nor would by any Means own the having the least Concern in the Rescue of Holt. He was nicknamed the Papist, from the dark Cast of his Countenance, which bore no small Resemblance to the Complexion of the People on the Continent of France and Spain, but was bred a Protestant and so declared to die. His Behaviour in Newgate was uncommonly sober, and quiet from first to last, and from the Time of Conviction appeared with the utmost Resignation to the Will of God, and his Sentence. If being a Smuggler deserves Death, he said he had his Due; but he forgave, as he hoped to be forgiven, and profess'd to have Hopes in another Life thro' the Merits of Christ, that he should be happy.
5. John Bastow , aged 40, was born (as he first told me) at Trumpington, near Cambridge; was bred a Cooper , and worked for several Years in different Towns in that Neighbourhood, and declared himself a very harmless, innocent Person, but unfortunately and without the least Design of ill in him, he had fallen into the Scrape. This was his Story before, but after the Warrant came down on Wednesday last, he changed his Note; and when I came to talk with him, when all Hopes were past, he said, he would declare his whole Mind to me, and begun as follows, viz. That he was born in Yorkshire, the particular Place he would not name, for Fear of bringing a Scandal upon his Family. His Parents however, he said, were not able to give him any Education, but put him out Apprentice to an Uncle, a Farmer in the Neighbourhood when he was very young. But somehow or other, Things did not go well with him there, and he run away 3 or 4 Times, but was brought back again to his Service, and received proper Chastisement for his several Elopements.
The Father knowing all this, and finding this Business would not do for his Boy, got the Indentures from the Uncle, and took him Home to work with himself, being a Mason . This Work he did not like long, though under an indulgent Parent, but his Head run a gadding; Confinement any where he could not bear, and so left his Father, and travelled the Country, till he came to London.
The first Employ he entered into here (a hopeful one indeed) was to be Tapster to an Alehouse , and that not of the best
Repute; and here he could not stay long, but, as he pretended, having a Sort of a Longing to see his Parents again, he returned to Yorkshire, in no better Condition, if so good, than when he first left that Country. And 'tis well if he had no other Reason for leaving London even at that Time, for the whole of his Life since seems to carry but a very bad Face with it.
However, he did not stay long after he got Home, but soon left his Father and Mother, and came to Nottingham, where he got to be a Servant in a Hosier's Shop , and for a few Weeks behaved very well. But at length, his natural Temper broke forth, and he began his Practice of pilfering and stealing, which continued with him almost to his Death.
He was artful enough to play fast and loose up and down the neighbouring Countries, and the North for several Years, but had the good Luck to escape being catch'd in his Wickedness for a long Time. His Person and Character were very well known, but he cunningly evaded the Scourage of the Law, by being very private, and reserved. But, about 2 Years ago, he was indicted at York for a Robbery, and capitally convicted; however, the Prosecutor not being willing to sacrifice the Son of a Neighbour, and Countryman, for the Injury done him, made what Interest he could, and 'twas sufficient for that Time to save him from suffering the Sentence of the Law.
After this Escape, he went into the Country, and travelled from one Place to another, 'till he was so remarkable as to be obliged to run away. At Leicester and Parts adjacent, he frequented and was looked upon as a notable Hand at the vile Practise of picking Pockets, in all Places of publick Resort, 'till he became so notorious as to be obliged to fly for it. And besides, he was so vile, as to seek Occasion to ingratiate himself with the Youth wherever he came, and ten to one but he brought them to a very bad Way, if he did not work their Ruin. A sullen, yet artful and deceitful Fellow, he always turn'd out even since Conviction, tho' he would sometimes put on an Air of Seriousness and Piety. He would deny To-morrow what he said To-day, and the third Day he would falsify all he said before.
As to any other Robbery, he would not particularly confess; and as to this, for which he suffered, he prevaricated every Day, sometimes owning, sometimes denying. When the Boy from whom the Portmanteau was taken, together with Roney and the Ambuscade that was laid to trapan him, came to the Falstaff's Head, the lower End of Fleet-Lane, there was Bastow and others. The Boy being resolved to go away about his Business, went out of the House with the Portmanteau, and when Roney made off with it, Bastow followed up Fleet-Street, and overtook him. They went together into the Temple to consult what to do, and Bastow advised as the safest Way, to get off with the Booty, to cross the Water with it. Accordingly they went down Temple-Lane, and taking Boat at the Stairs, cross'd the Water. Bastow took upon him the Gentleman, and ordered the Waterman to help his Servant Roney into the Boat, which he did, and set the Boat offwith them. He pretended he never saw Roney, but accidentally went in the same Boat with him over the Water to the Borough, to seek Work for the Cooper; but he said at last, when hard put to it, that he did follow Roney and advised him, how he should the most safely, as he thought, get off with the Booty, and designed to share the Plunder, had they not been detected in their Roguery, and taken by the Pursuers. He died an ignorant, insensible Wretch, and nothing but the Blood of Christ can cleanse him on this Side the Grave from the Pollutions of Sin, or free him hereafter from the Punishment due to the Guilt of his ill spent Life.
6. PATRICK RONEY, otherwise KELLY , aged 23, was born at Dublin, and bred up with a tolerable Education in the Fear of the Lord, and with good Care and Instruction, and had not his own natural Inclination turned him aside another Way, he might have done very well in the World, not wanting the Assistance of Friends. He was bound Apprentice to a Silk Weaver , but after a short Time run away from his Master, and has been abroad four Years; he said at first in the Service of the Government, but upon farther Enquiry, he owned that he had been transported, and had return'd before his Time was out; so that his Plea of Defence, that he had not been above a Week in London before the Robbery was committed, for which he suffered, was rather an Aggravation, than alleviating of his Crime. In as much as, tho' so young, and had been severely punished by Banishment, or Transportation, he could so soon forget himself, and run himself headlong into a harder Fate. He seemed to be a Youth of a tender and flexible Nature, was to be pitled for falling into bad Company, which encouraged his natural Disposition too much. He was easily led into any Wickedness, as appears by his being so easily persuaded by James Young to enter into a Scheme for attempting an Escape out of the Cells of Newgate; which however improbable to bring to Effect, he had, in order thereto, sawed Part of his Fetters, &c. for which he was chained down to the Floor.
Being a Papist , he was close and reserv'd, and did not choose to have much Converse with me. The Fact, however, for which he suffer'd, he own'd, and said, that overtaking the Boy with the Portmanteau on his Shoulder in the Strand, he thought him a fit Subject to work upon, as he was out upon the Hunt. He said he asked the Boy to let him carry the Portmanteau several Times, which being consented to, he took it on his Shoulder. When they came to Fleet-ditch, a Man, he said, had found Six-pence, and asked him to go and drink with him. Roney would not own he ever knew this Man before; but, however, he swallowed the Bait, and the Boy, Roney, and the Money-dropper, went to the Falstaff's Head in Fleet-lane, where they met Bastow and another, who all join'd Company, and drank together. When the Boy came away with the Portmanteau, they all followed. Roney took it away, he said, and crossing the Fleet-market, while others detained the Boy, ran up Fleet-street, and being overtaken by Bastow, was advised by him to cross the Water with it. Hebehaved very well lately, lamented his Condition with Tears, and seemed very penitent.
7. EDWARD BUSBY , aged 26, was born at Fulham in the County of Middlesex, and educated in London at a School, from whence he was taken away by his Parents before the Time came for him to be bound out Apprentice, as would have been the Case, had they suffer'd him to stay long enough, which he much lamented, saying, had he staid he might have been introduced into such a Way of Life, as might have prevented his Ruin. After he was taken Home, he was sent to work at making of Bricks , which Business he did not very well like, and besides could not maintain himself by the Wages he got at it, but was forced to be in some Measure still depending upon his Parents. He says, as far as he knows, they were but in very indifferent Circumstances, and by their Behaviour he found, after some Time, that he being burthen-some to them, must betake himself to some other Way of Life for Maintenance and Support, for that they began to behave to him in a very cool Manner.
Accordingly, though but very young, he had Resolution and Resentment enough to take himself away from their Presence, and was some Time in Doubt, being now quite left to himself, to what Way of Life to betake himself. He found no-body would employ him without Recommendation and Interest, and of that he was entirely destitute, having no Friends that could be of Use to him. In this Situation, as an Orphan, though Parents living, he was obliged to fix for himself upon some Employ to get his Livelihood by in an honest Way, and at last he resolved on a Sea-faring Life. For 15 Years past he has been a Seaman , scarce ever without Employ, and for some Years past has been in the Service of his King and Country, always able and willing. He had Wages considerable due to him, he said, at his Death.
After the Conclusion of the Peace he was out of Service, and as Seamen generally do when they come to be on Shore, he was willing to make himself Amends for the Hardships he had endured at Sea from Winds and Weather, &c. And now he had got into Quarters, where he found he might have Meat, Drink, and all Necessaries for the present, to be sure not without a View to recompense, tho' the Indulgers knew not what particular Time, or how long before that Time came. At length their Patience began to be tired, and he not receiving his Money, could not satisfy their urgent Demands; and when he could not pay, they cast him into Prison in Newgate for Debt. There he remained for some considerable Time, and having got some Pay, he released himself from that Confinement, with a Resolution again to return to the Sea; but not being able to get a Birth, he has idled up and down the Town since his Enlargement, and been concerned in several Robberies with his two Fellow-Sufferers, Oldfield and Russel. His Behaviour was extremely devout and penitent at Prayers, which he was very conversant in, in private as well as publick, and to all Appearance was as well prepared to meet his Fate, as any one in his Circumstances could be thought to be.
8. PETER OLDFIELD , aged 25, was born in the Borough of Southwark, and was bred a Hat-Maker , which Business he lately followed somewhere near Shoe-Lane. He was very close-tongu'd, and silent to all Queries put to him, and would only say he did not choose to have his Name blasted in Papers after he was dead; he was to suffer for what he had done, and thought that Punishment sufficient to make all the Amends that could be made with Regard to the Things of this World. He has been concerned in many Robberies, and a noted Pickpocket, but nothing would he own, unless the Robbery for which he suffered; and even in that he said he had the least Share, tho' he suffered so much for it; for sometimes he would scarce own he was any ways concerned, and reflected upon others, saying, they had sworn away his Life. Being told that they had done no more than himself would have done, had he had the Opportunity of it, he said he would not; he would have suffered for it himself had he been first taken, and would never have betrayed his Companions. It was said to him, he would not appear the better Man in the Eye of the World, or in the Sight of God, for such a Resolution persisted in, for that it was a received Maxim in the World, that it is better to discover Combinations and Conspiracies in real Wickedness, than to cover them; to which Reasons of Interest, as well as Policy, conspired to persuade. He could scarce bear the Sight of some of his Accomplices, who escaped in Consideration of Discoveries made by them; but at length being perswaded, that had it not been for his own Folly and Wickedness, they had not had an Opportunity of making what Discovery was made against him. After a little Reflection, he said that it was true, and for the future he would take all the Blame upon himself, and not entertain any Thoughts of Envy or Malice against those who had been the Means of his being brought to Justice.
9. WILLIAM RUSSEL , aged 22, was born in Yorkshire, and bred to no Business but that of a Husbandry-Labourer with his Parents, who kept a small Farm, and with whom he constantly had his Abode till within four or five Years last past. About that Time he came to London, and has been a Coachman in several Places, but of late he has had his Stand near Hatton-Garden, in Holborn, where he was known by the Name of Capt. Flash, upon Account of his being a brisk, gay, young Fellow, and making a better Appearance than his Brethren of the Whip, generally speaking, did; and no Wonder, because for these two Years past he has been upon the Pad, and as active as any of them all, about the Town, and Neighbourhood of Islington. He was taken very ill presently after Conviction, and could not hold up his Head, nor bear to be talked to. I visited him several Times in the Cells, to pray with him, but as to Particulars, when talked to, he was silent, whether through Weakness of Body he could not, or through Obstinacy of Mind he would not, or a Mixture of both, I cannot determine; but any Robbery besides what he suffered for, I could not persuade him to speak to, and that he did own. When he was taken, in Hopes of being made an Evidence, he gave an
Account of some other Coachmen that had been concerned with him. He could not choose indeed but own this Robbery, as he had confessed, and signed his Confession before the Justice voluntarily, as did the rest concerned in it. He lived for three Years after he came to London in good Repute, and well respected; but falling into bad Company, his own Inclinations soon gave Way to consent unto them, to be Partaker in their Wickedness, and so worked his own Ruin.
An Account of Part of the Robberies committed by Edward Busby , William Russel, commonly called Captain Flash, the Coachman , and Peter Oldfield , particularly, the Robberies committed by them, and another of their Companions, the Night preceding their being taken.
These hardened Wretches have committed a great Number of Robberies, in and about the Skirts of this Town, for many Months past; but as they did not think proper to be particular in those Accounts, I can only relate just what came to my Knowledge, and in the same Words in which it was told.
Busby, Russel and Oldfield, were generally pretty constant Companions, hardly ever robbing asunder, tho' they were obliged to separate and fly for it about 5 or 6 Weeks ago, by the Courage of a Man they attack'd in the Spaw-Fields; their Account of that Fact, which they have heretofore given, is as follows.
About 5 or 6 Weeks ago, towards the Dark of the Evening, or rather quite dark, they were in the Fields by the London-Spaw, looking out for their Prey when they perceived coming along a Man and two Women; Busby immediately pulled out a Pistol, and presenting it to the Man, bid him stand and deliver, on which the Women ran screaming away; but the Man, not at all daunted by his Pistol, struck at him with his Hand, and bid him fire, for he would not deliver. Busby knew not how to behave, for by this Time, the Women by their Noise had alarmed all the People at the London-Spaw, whom he perceived coming out with Lanthorns, Dogs, &c. armed with different Weapons; he and his two Companions, who had just then come up to his Assistance, determining to make the Man yield, were frighted at the Posse they saw making towards them with full Speed, and therefore, thought proper to let the Man alone, and make the best of their Way off. Russel and Oldfield got over the Rails, and made their Escape, but Busby not having Time to get away so soon as his Companions, was forced to lie down flat upon his Belly while the Pursuers past him, and then made off, narrowly escaping being taken.
Busby, Oldfield and Russel, and several of this Sort of wicked People, lodged together at an old Widow Woman's in Allen-Street, near Goswell-Street, where they contracted an Intimacy with each other, and made their Agreements what Roads they should take to rob and plunder the Publick.
On Sunday the 11th of February, as Busby, Oldfield and Russel, were cleaning their Pistols at their Lodgings, they observed a young Man, who was to them a Stranger, but on comparing Notes they soon found him another fit Companion,
and that very Evening, after drinking together, they set out, and walk'd all round the Fields, but it being a wet, rainy Night, they did not meet any Body. The next Night, Monday Feb. the 12th. they went together again the same Paths, but with no better Success than before, and returned home without any Booty at all. However, they resolved again to try their Fortune, and accordingly the next Day, which was Tuesday Feb. the 13th, having armed themselves with Pistols and Hangers, they all 4 set out in the Evening again, and went thro' the Fields up to the New-River-Head, quite round Islington, up Islington back Road, but did not meet with any Body; went over several bye Fields, between Islington- Church and Holloway, went over the Fields quite down to Black-Mary's-Hole, and crossed over to Pancras, but yet found no Prey. Then they agreed to lie in the Road till somebody came, accordingly they did; and about twelve o'Clock, perceived two Men on Horseback, when they immediately prepared to seize their Bridles; but on their nearer Approach, they perceived their Intent, and clapping Spurs to their Horses, they got away; they then went into Marybone Fields, staid there till one; then came into Town by Great-Russel-Street, and crossing over into Hanover-Yard, perceived a Chair coming along, on which they all drew Pistols, and ordered the Chairmen to stop, which they did; they then made them put out their Candles, and hold their Hats before their Faces; and while two stood over the Chairmen with Pistols cook'd, swearing they would shoot if they offer'd to stir, the other two opened the Chair, and demanded the Gentleman therein, to deliver his Money, Watch and Rings; he said he had neither, on which they told him they must search him, and accordingly taking him out of the Chair, they began searching his Pockets, where they found two half Crowns, four Shillings, and about three Pennyworth of Halfpence, but no Watch; and thinking he might have concealed his Watch in the Chair, they search'd the Seat and all about for it, but could not find any; perceiving he had a Sword by his Side, they made bold to take that, for which he intreated again very much, saying, Gentlemen, I beg you will give me my Sword again, it really is not of any Value to you; but they would not believe him, as he had deceived them in saying he had no Money; and therefore refused to give it him, but at the same Time, told him, if when they came to examine it, they found it neither Gold nor Silver, if he would advertise it, he should have it again. So putting him into the Chair, they wish'd him good Night, and bid the Chairmen go on. While this Robbery was committing, a Man happened to be coming thro' Hanover-Yard, on which one of the Rogues stepp'd up to him with his Pistol cock'd, swearing he would blow out his Brains if he did not immediately return back, which the Man very willingly did. By this Time, it was near two on Wednesday Morning; they then patrolled the Streets till they came to Knave's Acre, where they stopp'd a Hackney Coach, in which they perceived a young Woman, with a Bundle; they demanded her Money, but she pleaded, that she was indeed no other than a poor
Servant Maid, just come out of Place, and that she had but eighteen Pence, which she gave them; they would not believe her, but search'd her Pockets and Bundle, and one of them was for taking the Bundle away, but another of the Rogues finding no more Money than the eighteen Pence, believed her Story, and would not suffer his Companion to meddle with the Bundle, gave her the eighteen Pence again, saluted her, bid the Coachman drive on, and wish'd her a good Night.
From thence they proceeded to Burlington Gardens, and perceiving a Chair coming along, they drew their Pistols, order'd the Chairmen to put out their Candle, hold their Hats before their Faces as before, and then demanded of the Gentleman in the Chair his Money and Watch; he handed out his green Purse, with five Guineas and an Half at one End of it, and two Six-pences at the other, but said he had no Watch; upon which they began to search him, and he handed out his Watch, saying, Here, take it; 'twas a single cased Gold Watch, with an enamelled Dial-plate, a Gold Chain, and three Gold Seals. They then bid the Chairmen go on.
After this they consulted where they should proceed next, it being about three in the Morning, and it was proposed to wait for the Stage Coaches towards Hyde-Park Corner, and rob them, but at length it was resolved on to go Home, which they did all, except Russel, to their Lodgings in Allen-street, where they got about four in the Morning, and went to Bed. Russel parted with them at Hockley in the Hole, who promised to come to their Lodgings by 10 in the Morning, which he did, and was taken. There having been Information given against them as notorious Thieves, about seven in the Morning several Persons, properly arm'd, came to their Lodgings, broke open their Door, took them out of Bed, secured them, and carried them to Clerkenwell Bridewell , from whence they were committed to Newgate.
10. JAMES YOUNG , aged 27, was born at Edinburgh in Scotland, had an Education to read and write, but was bred to no Business. Before his Parents had determined in what Method to introduce him into the World, he took himself away from them, and went to Sea . This was when he was about 11 or 12 Years of Age, and he has in general followed that Way of Life ever since. Since his being discharged the Service, he kept a House whereto Seafaring Men used to resort ; so that having an Opportunity to over-hear their Talk, 'twas no very difficult Matter for him to find an Opportunity of putting in Practice his wicked Purposes to cheat and defraud the unwary.
He had said, 'twas his Business to find out Tickets; what he meant by it, I could not persuade him to own clearly. Some, who had known him very well, did not scruple to say, that this was not the first Time of his transgressing in this Way, and that he had been a bad Fellow: But he was determined to say the contrary, and was so far from owning any other Case of this Kind, that he would not take upon himself the whole Scene of Iniquity perpetrated in this vile Scheme, but persisted to the last in declaringwhat he made his Defence upon his Trial.
Upon several Examinations, which I had of him, he still would have it, that William Brockman was the Man that betray'd him into this wicked Affair. He said he owed him Money, and that he had frequently ask'd him for it; but that the last Time of asking, he proposed the Thing to him, as the Means whereby he might pay himself. Brockman, he said, had search'd the Books, and found William Bennet vacant, as it is called in their technical Terms, i.e. dead, and he told Young, that he was the real Executor of his Will, which he had provided for the Purpose, and that if he would go to the Commons and prove it, he might receive the Money, and pay himself; and tho' he was advised of it, that this did not agree with the Account he had formerly given, yet he insisted upon it to be, as he said. He would not confess the forging of the Will, nor signing it; but his Conscience charged him Home, and with Respect to his taking the Oath that he was James, Brother of William Bennet, he had great Uneasiness in his Mind, and lamented very much the having thus forsworn himself.
This seemed very much to intimate his thorough Knowledge of the whole Affair, though he never would say that he did the Whole. It was certainly a very vile and iniquitous Affair, and there is too much Reason to believe that it was not done without his Consent, and therefore his Punishment was highly deserved; for had not the poor Father been to be found, he might have had his wicked Purpose serv'd, to the great Injury and Prejudice of his grey Hairs. And besides,
His ill Behaviour while under Sentence of Death, was a strong Presumption he was not that innocent Man he would have appeared to be; for he pretended Sickness, in order to have an Opportunity, while others were at Chapel, to saw off his Irons, which he did, and to use other Means towards making an Escape; which he owned to be the Invention of his own wicked Imaginations, and had persuaded one more to be concerned with him. It was very lucky they were detected in this their Villainy before others came into it, which, no Doubt, they would have done, if Opportunity had been permitted. But they were nipped in the Bud, and all Hopes of any Thing of that Kind cut off; though indeed it was at best but a forlorn Hope; yet, as no one knows what a great Fire so small Sparks might have kindled, and what Mischief might have rose from it, the Discovery may be said to be very fortuitous and providential.
If he was not the wicked Contriver of the whole Forgery, he was the main Instrument by which the Cheat was to be brought about, and without his Privity and Consent to the Whole, it is scarce credible how he could have entered into any Share of it. He was much uneasy and troubled in his Mind to the last, and declared himself heartily sorry for what he had done; but for what worldly Reasons I know not, he seems not to have declar'd the whole Truth of the Affair; which he was the more pressed to do, that such bad Practices might in some Measure be exposed, and Impositions of this Nature be guarded against for the future; which every Discovery of this Nature may tend to do,
11. THOMAS JONES, otherwise HARPER , aged between 40 and 50 was born in Dublin, and bred to no Business, so that he had his Livelihood to seek ever since he forsook his Parents, and it would be a difficult Matter to produce any Evidence of his having got an honest Livelihood during any Time of his Life; but numberless are the Instances of the contrary said to be; both England and Ireland have rung of his Fame, as a notorious Pickpocket, and by Way of Distinction in Dublin, he went by the Name of Banbridge the Pickpocket.
Being a Papist , it was prejudicial to his Salvation to own the Truth for the publick Good; what he did with Respect to auricular Confession, is best known to the Gentlemen that visited him; however, when I spoke to him, he was so modest as not to deny the Fact, though he would not own it, but said, whether or not guilty, he was to suffer for it; however, the Fact seems to have been plain enough proved and fixed upon him, to the Satisfaction of the World, for the Punishment he suffered. Several Applications were made to me to enquire of him after several Robberies said to be committed by him, and which have been reported by some of his Accomplices to have been done by him; but he denied all. However, that daring Attempt on the Gatehouse upon his Account, shews how much he was respected by this abandoned Sort of People; and for what Reasons they would venture upon such an Undertaking to rescue him from thence, I leave to the Reader's own Judgment.
At the PLACE of EXECUTION.
ON Monday, about 9 o'Clock in the Morning, Young , and Jones, otherwise Harper , in one Cart, Carbold , Doe , and Gawen , in another, Sundiland , Russel , and Bastow , in the third, and Busby , Oldfield , and Roney , in the fourth, went from Newgate to the Place of Execution, and suffered the Sentence of the Law.
None of them said any Thing particular at the Place, except Sundiland, who declared to the Populace, that he died innocent of the Fact for which he suffer'd. They all behaved well, serious, and composed, except Busby, who laugh'd very heartily more than once, in speaking to some Acquaintance to take care of his Body, which Behaviour surprized every Beholder. When I went into the Cart, from which they were executed, I spoke to him particularly, and said, he had forgot himself and his Condition at this latter End. He replied, No, Sir, I had no evil Thoughts; and appeared very composed and attentive afterwards, as did all the rest.
When the Bodies were cut down, the four Smugglers were put into a Hearse, to be conveyed to their several Places appointed; and the rest were taken care of by their Friends. The whole was conducted with the utmost Decency, and without any Disturbance or Tumult.
This is all the Account given by me, JOHN TAYLOR , Ordinary of Newgate.

Several decades ago, William Tenn wrote a science-fiction story in which alien creatures, interstellar traders, claimed on their business cards to be "dealers in intangibles". Professor Danny Quah of the London School of Economics argues that doing that is now the only option open to developed societies that want to continue to increase their standard of living. He has given it the name weightless economy, in reference to economic activity whose value does not lie in a physical end-product. Examples are intellectual property such as ideas and designs, computer software, entertainment products, telecommunications, and better ways to transmit information, all of which he calls dematerialised products or, putting it another way, intangibles. Success in such a weightless economy comes from being able to organise and manipulate information in ways that generate extra value and is closely linked to success in applying information technology. One implication is that it is only those people with the right skills and aptitudes that can make the transition to this happy state, which will leave a lot of people outside in the cold.

Draghi Won't Stop the Euro's Slide
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi may have sounded less dovish than many expected after the central bank's meeting Thursday.
But that doesn't mean the euro's recent slide, especially against the dollar, won't continue.
If anything, Mr. Draghi's comments highlighting reduced inflation pressures and a poorer outlook for growth in the euro zone mean that the central bank could be even more sensitive to poor regional economic data in the future.
And that is where the problem for the euro arises.
Optimists are still hoping that recent positive sentiment surveys will translate into a stronger economic upturn across the euro zone.
If that happens, the ECB may not need to cut interest rates again after all and the single currency is likely to start reversing the recent decline that has taken it down from over $1.37 at the start of February to nearly $1.2950 earlier this week.
But this optimism doesn't appear to take on board the stark reality of recent data showing that the economies of most debtor countries are still contracting and the strength of the German economy alone will not be enough to turn them around.
And, as for Mr. Draghi, his comments at the press conference suggest he thinks there is little the central bank can do about it.
In fact, the ECB president used it as an opportunity to remind debtors that they can't expect the Bank to provide them with help from its outright monetary transactions, which are designed to provide funds only once a government has agreed to a bailout and made the appropriate commitment to structural reforms that go with it.
Of equal importance, as far as the performance of the euro-zone economy and the euro itself are concerned, was Mr. Draghi's admission that normal banking relations remain fractured and the transmission of credit to the real economy is still a major problem blocking an economic recovery.
Steve Barrow, senior currency strategist at Standard Bank, is among those who still see the ECB having to cut rates at some stage.
"It is very hard to see how some sort of autonomous recovery in the real economy can occur," Mr. Barrow said, noting that soaring unemployment, weak income growth and a decline in bank credit are not a mix that is likely to produce growth.
So it isn't any wonder that Mr. Draghi, or the ECB, left all monetary policy options open.
On top of all the economic uncertainty, the central bank also has to cope with Italy's inability to put together a credible government after inconclusive elections nearly two weeks ago.
Although Mr. Draghi insisted that Italy's structural reform program is now on "auto-pilot," there is little assurance that a new government will be able to prevent another damaging rise in borrowing costs.
At the moment, bond yields of most major debtors have been stable but that doesn't mean that they too will not start rising again.
Given Mr. Draghi's less dovish than expected stance, the euro's initial reaction was to bounce, as another interest rate cut no longer appeared forthcoming.
However, the single currency is more than likely to fall back and resume its recent decline once the economic reality of the euro zone continues to unfold in the weeks to come.

This year's Battle of the Burger was once again amazing. Over 10 restaurants participated in the burger war with one claiming victory while the others played for second place. This year's winner was the ever so popular Jeepney's with their "Choriburger" made from half beef and half longganisa sausage, and topped with banana ketchup, Maggi aioli, and served on a soft challah bun. My partner in crime Raven, went to each tasting table trying to figure out which burger stood out from the rest, at the end everyone used their token and voted for Jeepney.
It was such a great experience down by the south street seaport, the weather the great and Amstel light was serving their light beer along with my favorite the Radler. This is how it went down, you go to all the tables, sample all the burgers then at the end you use your one token to vote for your favorite burger. Raven and I had 2 finalists, Whitehall's 'Whitehall Burger' which included pickled beats, caramelized onions, sunnyside-up egg and a brioche bun (sounds funny but believe me it was delicious) to name some of the ingredients and Dram Shop's 'Dram Burger" which had dill pickles, mustard, two ground beef patties and chopped onions. At the end the Dram burger won our vote, but sadly the Dram didn't even crack the top 3. Other notables were Bill's Bar & Burger, and Twist and Smash'd BBQ style burger (which made the top 3). Some popular burger spots that were missing was STK, Shake Shack, Burger Joint, J.G. Melon, Corner Bistro and Minetta Tavern who inexplicably were absent the day of and would made the night very interesting for the winner.
Here was the day's top 3:
Winner's Information:
1. Jeepney's "Choriburger": made from half beef and half longganisa sausage, and topped with banana ketchup, Maggi aioli, and served on a soft challah bun.
2. Pork Slope's "Pork Slope Cheeseburger": classic juicy cheeseburger with pickles, onions, ketchup and mustard.
3. Twist and Smash'd "Southern BBQ Smash'd Burger": short rib burger with caramelized onions, roasted red peppers and BBQ sauce. Served with twisted potatoes on a stick on the side.
Other competing restaurants:
Bill's Bar & Burger: "Bill's Burger"
Perla: "The Perla Burger"
Whitehall: "Whitehall Burger"
Kettle Black: "The Texas Dunk"
Teddy's: "Teddy's Burger," "Chicken Burger," "Vegan Burger"
5 Napkin Burger: "5 Napkin Slider"
Dram Shop: "Dram Burger"
Eats on Lex: "Dry Aged Steak Burger"
Trading Post: "Trading Post Burger"
Watermark: "Cab Burger"
Donovan's Pub: "The Classic"
Rare Bar and Grill: "M&M Burger"
Nurnberger Bierhaus: "The Nurn-Burger"
Lastly, 5 Napkin burger had a sandwich that Raven describe as "eating boogers" and I couldn't agree more, hey 5 napkin, come better next year please, thanks.

WebRTC will not change communications
Will WebRTC change the communications world? Since WebRTC is currently in a hype phase, I will take the contrarian position in this post, describing why WebRTC is not the Next Big Thing, and then take the pro-WebRTC view in a future post.
WebRTC, half of a job done well
WebRTC gets your voice and video up to (*any*) application. MediaStreams and the getUserMedia API provide a simple and standardized way for a browser to grab media and act on it, and that's very powerful. Lots of functionality "moves" into the browser – the RTP stack and media codecs, firewall and NAT traversal mechanisms, signaling and media encryption functions. All goodness. However, the second half of the job is connecting two or more people/browsers/apps.
Houston, we have a problem
WebRTC took our video streams up to our respective browsers/apps. Now, how do we connect our browsers such that we can enjoy a video session? PeerConnection focuses on this inter-party voice and video communication aspect of WebRTC, but PeerConnection leaves too many key functions open or undefined. Each WebRTC app then needs to decide how to implement these functions (the positive view on this in a future pro-WebRTC post).
WebRTC islands
The list of critical functions that are largely undefined in PeerConnection include codecs, authentication, identity and routing. Undefined or loosely defined functions often result in islands because all the implementers then make their own choices, often choices that don't end up playing nicely together. Video codecs are still not locked down. On the audio codec side, G.711 will be mandated, but the more interesting wide-band audio codecs will likely all be optional. Everything else – identity, authentication, privacy, routing, presence, QoE, TURN (or not), etc. – is left to the application implementer. PeerConnection will result in islands. Some attractive islands with cool beaches (functionality), but new islands aren't the disruption that many WebRTC advocates are hoping for.
Part of each WebRTC island is floating in the SIP Ocean
PeerConnection uses a SIP SDP-like offer/answer protocol (ROAP). SIP SDP is not horrible but it is limited and doesn't necessarily fit with more disruptive, interaction-based communications paradigms (always-on video sessions for example). This emulation of SIP SDP puts part of each WebRTC island into the SIP Ocean, and specific implementations may drag entire WebRTC islands into the SIP Ocean. There are good reasons for WebRTC/PeerConnection to leverage some SIP aspects, but WebRTC would be far more disruptive if it stepped completely into new waters. Data Channels – the part of WebRTC that focuses on peer-to-peer data sharing – also leverages PeerConnection (will discuss Data Channels in the pro-WebRTC post).
External WebRTC obstacles
The current communications landscape is riddled with WebRTC obstacles.
Microsoft and Apple
Microsoft IE and Apple Safari don't have defined roadmaps to support WebRTC (IE can be hacked via Chrome Frame). Microsoft has vested interests – the leading enterprise communications UC client (Lync) and the leading consumer voice/video solution (Skype) – and in fact has proposed a WebRTC alternative, CU-RTC-Web, which is more robust or more complex than WebRTC, depending on your perspective. Apple has been quiet on WebRTC, keeps tight control of Apple platforms, and has treaded lightly in real-time communications, for example keeping Facetime relatively limited. Until Microsoft and/or Apple find business value in WebRTC, they are likely to be obstacles.
Mobile browsers are not committed to WebRTC, and aren't as easily extended as their non-mobile OS browser cousins. While Google is one of the primary WebRTC drivers, that does not necessarily bode well for mobile in general since Google's mobile competitors may respond with anti-WebRTC, or at least anti-Google-version-WebRTC stances. It will be interesting to see if Google drives WebRTC on Android and Chromium, and makes apps like Google Hangouts, Google Talk, and Google Chat be WebRTC "compliant". Perhaps an Amazon, Samsung or Facebook type company will WebRTC enable their mobile apps, but that is more island-ish than the more pervasive and universal results that WebRTC advocates would like to see.
The old guard and the current dominant business model
Most traditional telcos are slow moving and have incredibly complex and inefficient ecosystems (that even they don't completely understand) built around yesterday's communications landscape. This applies to their business models, processes, systems and people. Telco ecosystems are therefore not easily changed, even with the best intentions, meaning even a "pro-WebRTC" telco is unlikely to move the needle, and may even slow progress if it bends WebRTC to fit the traditional telco model. However, some telcos do seem to understand the opportunity (see Telefonica's acquisition of TokBox), and that is the first step in the process.
New guard "telcos", for example Voxeo and Twilio, may be more interesting than the old world telcos, but I will save that discussion for the pro-WebRTC post. Any type of telco will need to move from the transaction-based paradigms and business models (calls made out of context of any process and billed per minute) of old-world communications to the interaction-based paradigm that we need to get to (our apps easily enable us to easily interact (including voice and video) whenever, wherever and however we wish to).
At the moment, WebRTC is really the getUserMedia API and MediaStreams. That's powerful but not the disruption that most WebRTC folks are hoping for. Some of this is due to the construction of WebRTC itself, some of it is due to external factors. In combination, the result will be another good island, not a paradigm shift in of itself. I think communication is moving to islands with or without WebRTC, islands connected by each user ("Younified Communications"), but that is not what WebRTC's strongest advocates would like to see.Google+
