Chocolate Cherry Smoothie
When Nick asked me to "bring him something special" from the grocery store, he probably didn't mean a bag of frozen sweet cherries. I put them to good use, though, in this chocolate smoothie, which is probably closer to the "special" he was thinking of.
Chocolate Cherry SmoothieServes: 2
8 ounces organic baby spinach1/2 cup unsweetened soy, hemp or almond milk1/2 cup pomegranate juice or water1 tablespoon natural cocoa powder, not Dutch processed1 cup frozen cherries1 cup frozen blueberries1 banana1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract2 tablespoons ground flax seedsxPlace the spinach, soy milk and juice/water in the blender and run it a little to liquefy the spinach. Add remaining ingredients and blend about 2 minutes until very smooth.
Chilly Hilly pre-ride
Next weekend is the annual Chilly Hilly bike-a-palooza. Depending on the weather, anywhere from 3000-6000 riders make the trek to Bainbridge Island to test their winter legs on a 33-mile, ultra-hilly road ride.
Having participated a few times, Nick and I have come to the conclusion that no amount of group riding fun is worth the chaos and danger associated with that many inexperienced riders on such a short course. The route is awesome, though – beautiful mountain views, 2,700′ of climbing (and descending), lightly traveled roads. So what do we do? Ride the course the weekend before the event. (When you do something three years in a row, does that make it tradition?)
Most of our riding friends saw the forecast and wimped out. Matt and Mark either ignored the forecast or are just tougher than most.
The weather today did not disappoint. It was chilly:
There were plenty of interesting things to look at along the way:
And when the hills get to be a little too much, all you have to do, is stop to take in the view:

Purple Power Smoothie
The sun was out this morning, so I decided that it was probably a good day for a smoothie. I wanted something sweet and choc-o-block full of veggies and fruits. The Purple Power Smoothie from DrFuhrman.com hit the spot. The best part of all? One smoothie has FIVE servings of fruits/veggies.
We buy bags of frozen fruit from Costco. The store sells bags of frozen blueberries, mixed berries, strawberries, and other fruit medleys. If you have the first three on hand, this should be a snap to pull together.

Not long ago, and for most of civilization's history, cities were not brightly illuminated at night. Yet the New York City blackout showed residents just how dark that dim past had been.
The last big light many people saw on Monday night was a greenish hue in the cloudy skies as the 14th Street substation blew. At that moment, the 19th-century tenements in the now-hip neighborhood reverted to 19th-century darkness. Many people had flashlights, but they cast at best a feeble light on long, dark streets. A few minutes later, a handful of windows lit up, but dimly and often with candles.
However, friends as well as strangers were in better touch with me digitally than usual, as I had been posting obsessively to Twitter and Instagram as I wandered the dark and sometimes flooded streets.
I was far from alone. At least hundreds of people took advantage of the still-functioning cellular service to call family and post their own pictures. But there was a limit to what we could photograph. With just a faint pink glow in the sky from neighborhoods that still had power, our cameras were unable to pick up much. If there weren't the occasional headlights or multihue glow from emergency vehicles, Instagram pictures came out as nicely framed black squares.

As I continued on, I passed a Union Square park without a morsel left on the empty plaza. Normally at that time — about 10:30 — it would still be well "occupied" not only by Occupy Wall Street remainders, but also gangs of skateboarders. Walking south on University Place, even with my LED flashlight, I could barely make out the massive fallen tree branches until I was nearly upon them.
Returning home, I came to an apartment that got most of its light from two oil lamps casting mild orangey light and a strong chemical smell. But my roommate and I also basked briefly in the blue light of our laptop screens — suddenly blindingly bright to our dilated pupils.
We connected to the wireless hotspot my iPhone provided for a few minutes of email and Facebook checking, careful not to deplete the batteries — or the 2GB-per-month Verizon wireless data cap — too much.
In the first true darkness ever in my bedroom, I fell asleep quickly and slumbered soundly. And in the morning I awoke, not to a clock radio or alarm, but to the rising sun.

WOOSTER, Ohio — "You can tell a lot about a woman by what she keeps in her recipe box," said Michael Amstutz.
Between Michael and his mother, Ruth "Arleen" Amstutz, they have collected over 700 recipe boxes, some of which have contained personal mementos like poetry, locks of hair from a child's first baptism and even an obituary of former President Warren Harding.
"You can learn history, cultures, traditions, ethnicities, favorite things and even a lot about family histories — which sometimes is tucked away in there," said Michael. Some of Arleen's favorite boxes came from the students she used to teach. She served as a kindergarten teacher in Wayne County's Dalton School District for many years.
"I got many (recipe boxes) as Christmas gifts and each of them were so special," she said.
Often, among the recipes for cookies and pies, were recipes for love and marriage and for children. "I have a recipe file that has maybe 50-75 different recipes for a happy home, for love and so many different things, that that file is special to me because of the recipes that were in the boxes," said Arleen, now 88 years old.
Early start
Arleen's fascination with recipe boxes started around age 10 (in the late 1930s). Her mother would keep all the recipes she had collected in a large soup tureen. "Mother was interested in recipes and how they were contained, so she started looking at recipe boxes a little differently," said Michael.
She would attend estate sales, garage sales and auctions where she would collect the boxes of her church friends and fellow school teachers. Her favorite, she said, are the advertising boxes.
Recipe boxes started being used in households in the early 1900s and started hitting the mainstream as a marketing tool in the '20s. In their prime (1940s-1960s), recipe boxes were somewhat of a gimmick, said Michael. Every food company, from Robin Hood Flour to Campbell's Soup, branded themselves in the form of recipe boxes.
Those boxes sat on shelves in kitchens all across America as flashy advertising pieces, and many of those boxes came filled with recipes you could make from the products they advertised, explained Michael.
Even appliance companies like Westinghouse got onboard, crafting their boxes to look like the stoves they made. When microwaves were introduced into the cooking world, Michael said people were a little leery of the device. But microwave manufacturers came out with their own recipe box, complete with recipes that could be made right in the microwave.
Recipe boxes were made out of tin, wood and plastic and some were even fabricated from needlepoint. Some were made to look like a simple card box while others were shaped to look like a set of books "for the scholarly person," said Michael. As time went on, boxes were crafted to be more user friendly, like Household Magazine's Rolodex style recipe card holder.
Next generation
When Michael was growing up, his parents opened an antique store at their home in Wooster, Ohio, where a majority of the recipe box collection is now stored. Michael started building his own collection shortly after graduating from college.
Following in his mothers footsteps, he, too, became a teacher — moving to Huron, Ohio, to teach — which left his summers open to scour auctions and sales for recipe boxes. "I started looking for the more unusual kinds of boxes," he said.
The oldest box Michael owns is a 1912 wooden recipe box called the "Twentieth Century Recipe Cabinet." It was made for students who graduated from Harriet Black's cooking school in Chicago, and contained all the recipes made in the school.
Michael once found a box that contained Hungarian and Slovakian recipes — his wife's parents are Czechoslovakian. He brought the box of recipes to his wife's great-aunt to translate, who was very excited to do so. "We learned a lot about her ethnic heritage that my wife didn't really know much about," he said.
Passing it on
Michael takes many of his boxes on the road with him, speaking at libraries and granges and local clubs in northern Ohio. He shares the history of recipe boxes, which he has spent a great deal of time researching, and offers advice for starting a collection of your own.
"It's always good to have a collection of something," he said. All together, Arleen and Michael have around 750 recipe boxes. Many are duplicates, but those are used trade with other collectors, said Michael.

Mike Amstutz

Huron, OH 44839
The two decided they would create a book, Collectable Recipe Tins and Boxes, to share the history of recipe boxes and show off their unique collection.
While recipe boxes may give way to those who store recipes on smartphones or Pinterest, they can still be found and given as a personalized gifts for weddings and showers. "There are all sorts of things you can find inside a recipe box," said Michael. "Recipe boxes are fun, I think, inside and out."

Following their return, Copeland played some headlining shows after supporting Paramore this spring. Staffer Tim Dodderidge spoke with frontman Aaron Marsh before the Lawrence, Kan. date about the group's return and mindset after working on other projects. The two also discussed the recently-released alternate album Twin and the resurgence of active music listening through vinyl.
MEB: How's the tour been going so far?
Aaron Marsh: It's been good. It's good. Yeah, we did about a month with Paramore, supporting Paramore, and now we're kind of headlining on our way back.
What have the crowds been like? Do you notice any differences now compared to before you went on "hiatus"?
Well yeah. I mean, our fans are definitely older, as are we. Yeah, we just did a tour with Paramore, so those were kind of younger fans.
Bigger stages, I bet.
Bigger stages, bigger rooms. But it was fun. It seemed like their fans seemed pretty open to us. We met a lot of neat kids. I guess the differences now, the big difference now is social media. We came up kind of before you needed to be social media savvy to be a band. So we aren't as as, like, skilled at social media interactions as a lot of bands. A lot of bands are just so on it. Yeah, we definitely have to be very deliberate about it, like, "Oh, we should post something today", whereas the younger bands, they have a natural intuition about it I think.
Well, you had MySpace back in the day, but that was probably about it.
Yeah, we even started touring before MySpace. We networked on MP3.com before. We would network with bands on there and play shows. Yeah, I guess then MySpace…even then, we weren't super active on MySpace. It wasn't necessarily make-or-break for a band in those days because it was so new. We just kind of did our thing. We had a MySpace, but we never really used it.
You all worked on different projects for a while before coming back together. I feel like it would be difficult to get everybody on the right page again after all of that. Was that the biggest challenge?
No, actually that was probably the easiest part.
Oh really.
Yeah, I think because we all had the chance to do other stuff, I think it made us a little more relaxed with making Copeland records. No one was trying to force their hand creatively. It seemed like we were all kind of in it together. Yeah, it was pretty easy.
This is a question discussed on a recent podcast about Underoath and rumors of an anniversary tour. Did you ever worry about angering fans who paid a lot to see you on your farewell tour, or even letting them down by carrying the project on too long when they were content with the records you did put out?
As far as people being upset about…?
…about coming back. It's like with the Rolling Stones, they keep playing and keep playing. Is there ever a worry about that?
No, every once in a while we'll get comments like "farewell" tour with air quotes around the "farewell", as if we were planning to break up for five years and then get back together. But that's always in jest. It's not anything anyone's actually concerned about. People that are coming to see us now are just glad we're back, I think. Honestly, we didn't think we'd even be on tour. When we started making the record, we said, "Well, we'll just make a record and put it out and then just carry on with our normal day-to-day lives and not tour". But I think the deeper we got into making the record, the more we felt it needed to be heard by people. If you don't tour, it's kind of like you just made a record kind of in a vacuum and it's not going to be heard by folks. So yeah, here we are, out on the road.
The band's always had really calming, atmospheric sound, but on the new album, Ixora, it seems a lot more pronounced. Would you say that sort of chill vibe represents the kind of picture you wanted to paint with this record?
Yeah, I think that's a really good way to say it. I think the "calming" vibe that was present in the rest of the records is definitely like an overreaching thing on all the songs now. Yeah, I feel really good about what we made. I feel like we kind of landed in a nice spot. As you were saying, we were all doing other projects in the meantime. So it was like, whereas before, we would make a record, tour, and then make another record, and this time, we made a record, toured, then broke up and made a bunch of other records with other people, and then got back together. So I think we kind of benefited from that experience of making records with other bands in the downtime. I was producing records and the rest of the guys, they were producing and mixing some on their own and they had a band called States that they did a couple records with.
So all of the experiences with those bands and producing and stuff kind of brought all these different vibes?
For sure. Yeah, I think we just had a few more tricks in our arsenal than we would have if we made our fifth record right after You Are My Sunshine.
Yeah and being from Florida, the album was produced in your hometown, and the art is a photo of the ocean. Would you say that was a big influence, the setting of it all?
I think so. Yeah, I kind of envisioned this record kind of being immersive, just having this all-around kind of "sinking" feeling. So that was present in the artwork and it was present in the lyrics. The bonus disc for the deluxe album, it was called the Twin. It was just an alternate version of the record, and the idea is that you can listen to the alternate version as a stand-alone piece or combine the two records. You can hit play on both CDs at the same time and it would create a surround sound version of the record, like a 4-channel quadraphonic. So even up to there, we were thinking of this immersive sound quality. It kind of carried us through every aspect of it.
I think it's something that works too, with all of the layered vocals and instrumentation. So Copeland has always thought of their work as art more than anything. With the alternate album, what sparked that idea, and what would you say is "artistic" about it?
For me, it was more of a "Can I do this? Can I make something that can stand on its own and be complementary and play in harmony with the record"? So it was almost like a challenge I gave myself, more as a producer than anything. It was a lot of just coming up with ideas that would complement the original record and also play on their own, stand on their own as their own piece. Yeah, I think it was almost like CrossFit for a producer, like an intense mind workout (laughs). It was a creative thing, but there were also lots of limitations that I put on myself. I'm having to remake this song. The structure is set. I can't deviate from the structure. I can't deviate from the chord progression too much. I can't deviate from the melody. So what do I do? Basically, it was all trying to figure out, "What will this record be if it won't be what we just made"?
Vinyl's making a resurgence as well, and many of your albums — including the new one — have been pressed recently. With that and the alternate disc, how are you getting people more involved in the music they listen to? It's a day and age where it's hard for the music to stand alone, there has to be other things.
Yeah, so I guess with the resurgence of vinyl, people are just listening to music again. I think it got the point where people wouldn't listen to music unless it had a lyric video or a music video or some kind of, like, visual aspect to it. Yeah, I mean, I feel like that's a good thing. I think it's creating a more active listening experience. But what am I doing to make people engaged in music? I don't know if there's anything I can do except making the best music I can (laughs). We'll probably have a couple music videos for the record, but yeah, I think I'm pretty much at the mercy of the listeners.
I think the physical aspect of coming back, too. People want the artwork, they want the disc.
That's what I'm talking about. Music for a while became something that was going on while you were doing something else. You'd put on your playlist or whatever and then do whatever you were going to do, so music was kind of getting devalued as background noise. The resurgence of vinyl…when I was in high school, I remember people would call me and be like, "Hey, what are you doing" My answer would be, "I'm listening to music". Like, that was my only task at the moment. Like, "Hey, what are you doing"? "I'm listening to music". I mean, when was the last time you can say that? Usually I'm cleaning the house or doing something…
…yeah it goes along with the whole "multitasking" thing.
Yeah, and I feel like to some extent, with vinyl, you have a very tactile product, you have to flip it halfway through or maybe three times if it's a double LP. You're having to flip the record. It's not as easy when you have to operate the arm. It's all these little things that make it a more active experience people are connecting with. And it sounds great too, but the average listener isn't maybe necessarily as aware of the dynamic range of vinyl versus digital. But I think they all appreciate the fact that they're taking a more active approach to music. I think that's refreshing for people. So hopefully it's refreshing for people.
Yeah, it's refreshing to me, so…(laughs)
Yeah (laughs).
Where do you hope to go from here? Do you see Copeland continuing for a while or are you just taking it slow for now?
Well, I think maybe both. I don't think we're ever going to be a full-time band where we're just year-round hustling like we were before. When Beneath The Medicine Tree came out, we played over 600 shows in two years. So we're way far from being that again, because I have a family and two kids, Brian has two kids, so I think we're going to take it slow no matter what. But at this point, as long as there's an audience, we're probably going to still have an itch to make records. I mean, I own a studio. Really, it's a matter of having money to get it mixed and time to write songs. But yeah, as long as there's people willing to hear records I think we're probably going to be willing to make them.

The Judicial Function
The formal structure of Government including the administration of justice is set down in the Victorian Constitution Act 1975 (No.8750), which re-enacted with additions and amendments the provisions of the 1855 Victorian Constitution Act (passed as a Schedule to the Imperial Act, the Victorian Constitution Statute, 18 and 19 Victoria c.55, proclaimed on 23 November 1855), and the consolidated Constitution Act Amendment Act 1958 (No.6224). The Constitution Act contains provision for the establishment of the Supreme Court and its Officers (1975 Act sections 75-87).
Judicial Power - the power to make judgments about the constitutional validity of laws, their application and interpretation in particular cases, and the application of laws in settling disputes between persons, society and individuals, government agencies, and public officials and persons - is vested in the Courts. The Constitution ensures the independence of the judiciary by providing for the permanent appointment of judges by the Governor with the advice of the Executive Council, and for their salaries and pension entitlements. The only lawful means of removing a judge is by the Governor acting upon an address of both Houses of Parliament (1975 Act, sections 75(5) and 77; 1855 Act, section XXXVIII).
For more detail about the place and role of the judiciary in the Government of Victoria including an explanation of the Courts' role in the creation of unenacted law and the interpretation of enacted law see VRG 17 Executive.
Scope of the Group and Agency Identification
This group includes the records of all Victorian Courts including those of the Supreme Court, the County Court and Magistrates' Courts, previously known as the Courts of Petty Sessions. It also includes the records of judicial officials such as the Master in Equity and the Registrar of Probate who have exercised both judicial and administrative power. The group does not include the records of quasi judicial bodies such as the Public Service Board nor of administrative tribunals.
According to classic theory the distinction between courts and administrative tribunals rests on the exercise of judicial power, however in reality it is often not easy to determine whether judicial power is being exercised and there is some debate among constitutional lawyers and others as to its exact definition.
It has therefore been decided that an arbitrary distinction, based on the legislative lead will be made, and only those bodies actually described as courts in the establishing legislation have been placed in this record group. The records of other bodies established as tribunals, boards and commissions etc. may be found in the record group of the Minister responsible for them.
In most cases the various courts or jurisdictions in each locality have not been identified as separate agencies. All courts in the following categories have been grouped together:
County Courts prior to 1968
Petty Sessions and Magistrates' Courts
Children's Courts
Courts of Mines
Insolvency/Bankruptcy Courts.
In these cases the courts in one locality have been identified as a single agency, e.g. the Dunolly Children's Court and Court of Petty Sessions are included in the agency Dunolly Courts. In practice it is often the case that the records themselves are also grouped together.
The Supreme Court (VA 2549) and its Officers, the County Court (VA 686), the Coroners' Courts 1840-1986 (from 1986 the State Coroner's Office) (VA 2263 and VA 2807), Police Magistrates Districts, and the Licensing Courts 1885-1916 (VA 2870), Licensing Court of Victoria 1916-1954 (VA 2955) and Victorian Licensing Court 1954-1968 (VA 2905) have been identified as separate agencies in this edition of the Summary Guide. (NOTE: In the List of Holdings, the various Licensing Courts have been included in the geographical groupings - see Location of Records.)
Early Administration of Justice in the Port Phillip District
The Courts Group dates from the sitting of the first court in the Port Phillip District in 1836. On 9 September 1836 the Governor of New South Wales proclaimed the official settlement of the Port Phillip District. Captain William Lonsdale was appointed Police Magistrate of the District on 14September (see VRG 7 and VA 472). As well as taking responsibility for the general superintendence of the District, he also undertook the duties of a New South Wales District Police Magistrate, including administration of justice and supervision of the local constabulary. In situations where normal administration of the laws required two Justices, one of the officers accompanying Lonsdale was appointed a "Commissioner of the Peace". Following the appointment of a Superintendent of the District in 1839, the duties of the Police Magistrate were restricted to responsibility for the local constabulary and local magisterial functions in Melbourne and the position was retitled Police Magistrate, Melbourne. In the meantime Police Magistrates were being appointed in other localities, Captain Foster Fyans taking up duty in Geelong in late 1837. The Police Magistrates continued to be responsible for the constabulary within their district until 1853 when responsibility for all police matters was vested in the Chief Commissioner of Police (VA 724 - see also VRG 10 Police).
The first official Courts of Petty Sessions (as distinct from Police District/Magistrates' Courts) were gazetted in the New South Wales Government Gazette of 18 July 1838. On 14 August 1838, Courts of Quarter Sessions were proclaimed to hear appeals from Courts of Petty Sessions and more serious criminal cases. The first Court of Requests established to hear civil cases was appointed in 1839 and began sittings in 1840.
Supreme Court
Prior to separation and the establishment of the Supreme Court in Victoria in 1852 the highest court for the District was the Supreme Court of New South Wales for the District of Port Phillip (VA 914).
Before 1841 this meant that criminal cases and civil litigation of any importance had to be heard in New South Wales. In 1841, to ease this situation a Resident Judge of the New South Wales Supreme Court for the Port Phillip District was appointed. In 1852 following separation from New South Wales the Legislative Council passed an Act (15 Vic., No.10) to establish the Supreme Court of Victoria.
The Supreme Court (VA 2549) is the highest court of the State, having jurisdiction over all matters, civil and criminal, which have not been excluded by statute. The 1975 Constitution Act provides for the Supreme Court to consist of not more than thirty judges of whom one is the Chief Justice. All judges are appointed by the Governor on the advice of the Executive Council from the ranks of practising barristers of not less than eight years standing, and retire at the age of seventy-two years. At present, the Supreme Court is comprised of a Chief Justice and twenty-one Puisne Judges.
The Full Court (usually three, but sometimes five, judges) hears and determines appeals from single judges of the Supreme Court and from the County Court, in both civil matters and criminal cases. There is no general right of appeal in civil matters from a decision of a Magistrates' Court however a dissatisfied party may apply to have a Supreme Court judge review a case in law. The main activities of the Supreme Court are centred at Melbourne, and judges go "on circuit" to Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, Hamilton, Horsham, Sale, Shepparton, Wangaratta and Warrnambool.
Functions of the Court
Currently the Supreme Court deals with cases such as murder, manslaughter and other criminal matters, civil actions involving large claims and appeals against decisions of the lower courts. Historically the Supreme Court dealt with matters such as equity, lunacy, divorce and insolvency. Jurisdiction in some of these matters passed to the Commonwealth at or since federation in 1901, eg. insolvency and bankruptcy in 1928 and divorce in 1976, though the State courts continued to be vested with federal jurisdiction in some cases. Federal laws regarding divorce and marriage had been passed in 1959 and 1961 respectively and these laws superseded State law. Under the provisions of the Family Law Act 1975, operational from 5 January 1976, a Family Court of Australia was established to administer Family Law including considerations for the dissolution of marriage. Appeals against the decisions of the Supreme Court may be heard in the High Court of Australia. Prior to the passing of the Australia Acts in 1986, appeals could also be heard by the Privy Council, although in recent decades such appeals became increasingly rare.
Officers of the Supreme Court
Various officers of the Supreme Court exercise or have exercised judicial and/or administrative responsibility.
The Master in Equity (also known as the Master in Equity and Lunacy 1867-1923) (VA 2624) was responsible for the administration of matters dealt with under the provisions of the Law of Equity as opposed to those of Common Law and enacted law. The Master in Equity assisted the Supreme Court; provided legal opinions on matters referred by the Court; undertook enquiries and investigations as ordered by the Court; managed financial matters relating to the court, including payments made by trustees or executors and arranged the payment of costs in equity proceedings, conveyancing and other business of the Court.
Under the provisions of the Lunacy Act 1867 (No.309) and subsequent legislation, the Master in Equity as Master in Lunacy was responsible for the supervision and administration of the estates of persons found to be lunatic by inquisition (their estates being managed by individuals known as "committees" who were appointed by the Court following an inquiry by the Master in Equity); patients admitted to public mental hospitals or mental homes and persons of unsound mind who were incapable of managing their own affairs. It was the Master's role to act for persons declared to be lunatics or inebriates before a judge of the Supreme Court.
Until a separation of the offices in 1859 the Master in Equity also held the position of the Chief Commissioner of Insolvent Estates.
In 1940, under the provisions of the Public Trustee Act 1939 (No.4654) responsibility for the administration of estates of patients in mental hospitals and persons incapable of managing their own affairs was assumed by the Public Trustee (VA 719) who also assumed responsibility for functions previously administered by the Curator of Estates of Deceased Persons.
The Master in Equity was also responsible for the granting of probate in cases where it was considered that probate would be granted by the Supreme Court and for the administration of the estates of deceased persons where the administration of the estate was not contested.
Under the provisions of the Master of the Supreme Court Act 1948 (No.5329) the Master of the Supreme Court (VA 2613) became responsible for those functions previously administered by the Master in Equity (VA 2624) and the Chief Clerk of the Supreme Court, including the granting of probate and administration of the estates of deceased persons where the administration was not contested; the investigation of matters as directed by a judge of the Supreme Court and the supervision of "committees" appointed by the Court to administer the estates of "lunatics". Since 1986, the Master of the Supreme Court has been known as the Senior Master and is responsible for the supervision of other officers of the Supreme Court.
In 1960, the Master of the Supreme Court ceased to have responsibility for probate and administration. The Registrar of Probate (VA 2620) who had previously received direction from the Master of the Supreme Court, assumed statutory responsibility for the granting of probate in those cases where it is considered that probate would be granted by the Supreme Court and for the administration of the estates of deceased persons where such grants are uncontested. Contested estates are determined by the Court.
The Prothonotary of the Supreme Court, now also known as the Principal Registrar, oversees the administrative aspects of actions and appeals coming within the jurisdiction of the Court. Among other things, the Prothonotary is responsible for the issuing of writs and other processes that initiate civil proceedings in the Supreme Court. The Prothonotary is also responsible for the filing of documents and for the custody of Supreme Court records.
The Sheriff administers the Juries Act and is responsible for the enforcement and execution of Supreme Court Writs and Orders and the control and direction of civil warrants issued from Magistrates' Courts and executed by civilian bailiffs. The Sheriff is also responsible for the security of the Supreme Court, its judges and all persons attending the Court.
Under the provisions of An Act to make provision for the better control and disposal of Offenders 16 Vic., No.32, (1853) certain public gaols, prisons, houses of correction etc. were to be under the charge, care and direction of the Sheriff of the Colony of Victoria. The Sheriff retained responsibility for the supervision of certain prisons until 1871 when, following a Royal Commission on Penal and Prison Discipline, the Statute of Gaols 1864 (No.219) was amended and the Inspector of Penal Establishments became responsible for the supervision of all prisons. (See the Statute of Gaols Amendment Act 1871 (No.397).)
County Court
The County Court of Victoria is an inferior general court exercising civil, criminal and special jurisdictions. It also sits as an Appeal Court, without a jury, on appeals from Magistrates' Courts.
From 1852 to 1968 there were local County Courts which assumed the functions of the Courts of Request. In 1968 the local County Courts were abolished and one County Court for the whole of Victoria was established. In the same year, Courts of General Sessions, which exercised a purely criminal jurisdiction were abolished and their jurisdiction was vested in the County Court.
The County Court sits continuously at Melbourne and visits seven circuit towns as well as the ten towns also visited by the Supreme Court. Records of the local County Courts are attributed to groupings of courts by geographical location (see Location of Records).
Police Magistrates
Police Magistrates as judicial officers were appointed, like any other salaried officer, by the Governor-in-Council and later were usually taken from the ranks of the civil service. Besides their general authority as justices of a bailiwick or district, Police Magistrates sitting alone could constitute a Court of Petty Sessions and hand down judgment which would otherwise require the authority of two or more justices.
Police Magistrates as Magistrates of Courts of Petty Sessions had responsibility for summary criminal jurisdiction and the committal for trial or holding to bail of persons accused of indictable offences.
Records of Police Magistrates' Courts are attributed to individual Police Magistrate Districts (see Location of Records).
Petty Sessions/Magistrates' Courts
Magistrates' Courts, known as Courts of Petty Sessions until 1969, exercise both civil and criminal jurisdiction. Magistrates' Courts hear and decide charges of minor offences where the punishment is a relatively small fine or short term of imprisonment and conduct committal proceedings for trials in higher courts. Their records are attributed to groupings of courts by geographical location (see Location of Records).
Other Specialist Inferior Courts
Specialist inferior courts include the Children's Court, Coroners' Courts (VA 2263), Licensing Courts (VA 2870), Courts of Mines, Industrial Appeals Courts and Insolvency Courts.
Children's Courts
The Children's Courts were established in 1906 under the provisions of an Act to Establish and Regulate Children's Courts (No.2058), to hear and inquire into all charges against children and to direct trial and other appropriate action. Hearings may be held at any place where a Magistrates' Court is established. The provision of Children's Court Probation Services has been the responsibility of various Ministers:
Attorney General (VRG 19) until 1960
Chief Secretary (VRG 26) 1960-1971
Minister for Community Welfare Services (VRG 60) 1971-1985
Minister for Community Services (VRG 80) 1985-ct.
Children's Courts records are attributed to groupings of courts by geographical location (see Location of Records).
Coroners' Courts
The first coroners were appointed by Superintendent La Trobe in November 1840. Prior to this, the function was handled by the local Police Magistrates, who merely accepted depositions from witnesses to sudden or suspicious deaths. Investigations into the causes of fire only date from 1858 and an Act for preventing the careless use of Fire 21 Vic., No.55.
The work of coroners was controlled by a mixture of British and Colonial legislation until the Coroners Act 1865 (No.253). This Act and subsequent legislation provided for the Governor-in-Council to appoint as many coroners and deputy coroners as appropriate. All Police (later Stipendiary) Magistrates were appointed as coroners although at times persons such as police officers, doctors and barristers were also eligible for appointment. Coronial work thus came to be based at local Courts of Petty Sessions, with the coroners' activities being confined to the area covered by their jurisdiction. Inquests were usually conducted at the relevant court although, especially in the nineteenth century, they were also held in places such as police stations, lunatic asylums and hotels.
The purpose of coronial investigations was to determine factors regarding certain deaths such as:
the identity of the deceased
the circumstances surrounding the death
the medical cause of death
the identity of any persons contributing to the cause of death
the collection of any other information necessary to register a death.
Despite the regional nature of coronial activity, there was no central co-ordination or regulation of functions. Although it was commonly referred to as the Coroner's Court from about 1952 (having also been previously known as the City Morgue), the Melbourne Coroner's Court merely had jurisdiction for the city and metropolitan area.
Following two reviews of coronial services in the 1970's and the proclamation of the Coroners Act 1985 (No.10257), the State Coroner's Office (VA 2807) was established. Under the provisions of the Act, the State Coroner is responsible for the efficient administration and operation of the state's coronial system. Stipendiary magistrates are appointed as coroners by the Governor-in-Council and barristers and solicitors may be so appointed. Subject to the direction of the State Coroner, coroners are responsible for the investigation of all reportable deaths as defined by the Act and may initiate an investigation into certain fires.
From 1856 until 1986, inquest depositions were forwarded to the Office of the Registrar General once it had been ascertained that they were not required for the administration of justice. (See VA 2889 Registrar General's Department 1853-1873 and VA 862 Office of the Registrar General and the Office of Titles, 1873-ct.) In 1988 the State Coroner's Office (VA 2807) became responsible for all coronial records.
Courts of Mines
For each specified Mining District a Court of Mines was established with original jurisdiction to hear and determine cases relating to mining disputes and the granting, refusal or disqualification of mining licences. In addition, Courts of Mines heard appeals against decisions made by mining wardens. For the period 1865 to 1883 appeals from the Courts of Mines were heard by the Court of the Chief Judge of Courts of Mines. By 1883 this appeal jurisdiction had been assumed by the Supreme Court. In 1969 Mining Courts were abolished and their jurisdiction transferred to Magistrates' Courts and the County Court (see also VRG 25 Mining Districts).
Insolvency/Bankruptcy Courts
By 1844 a Chief Commissioner of Insolvent Estates had been appointed in the Supreme Court of N.S.W., for the District of Port Phillip (VA 914).
Until 1859, when the offices were separated, the Chief Commissioner of Insolvent Estates also held the position of Master in Equity (VA 2624).
In 1856 a Commissioner of Insolvent Estates was appointed for the Geelong Circuit District. A Commission for Insolvent Estates had been established in the Portland district prior to this.
The Commissioners of Insolvent Estates appear to have been administrative officers of the Supreme Court. The Insolvency Statute 1865 (No.273) consolidated the law relating to the administration of insolvency proceedings. The Court of Insolvency continued to consist of a Chief Commissioner for Insolvent Estates and Commissioners for Insolvent Estates resident in the country areas. The Commissioners were to aid and assist in the carrying out of the provisions of the Act and for that purpose to do and execute all such matters under rule of the Supreme Court.
In 1870 under the provisions of the Insolvency Statute (No.379) the offices of Chief Commissioner and Commissioners of Insolvent Estates were abolished and these officials were deemed at the commencement of this Act to have become judges of the Court of Insolvency.
However, all the judges of County Courts in Victoria, except the judge of the County Court at Melbourne were also to be judges of the Court of Insolvency. Court of Insolvency districts were to be assigned by the Governor-in-Council and notice of the sittings of the Court to be placed in the Government Gazettes.
A Bankruptcy Act passed by the Commonwealth Parliament in October 1924 and amended in 1927 was brought into operation on 1 August 1928. It superseded the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Acts of the States. A Federal Court of Bankruptcy was established and directly exercised its jurisdiction in Victoria from 1928.
Insolvency Proceedings
A person was considered insolvent when he/she was unable to pay his/her debts in full. Formerly bankruptcy law had related only to traders or those engaged in commercial activities. As is shown by the titles of early insolvency acts, this legislation was effected as a means of giving relief to insolvent persons and subsequently imprisonment for debt was abolished.
Very simply, a debtor would petition to be declared insolvent by the court and as such to be discharged of all debts. The court would administer the estate and effects of the insolvent and preside at the meetings of creditors.
Further research is required to fully document the proceedings and records of this function.
Location of Insolvency Records
For insolvency records from the Melbourne metropolitan area researchers should look at List of Holdings 2nd edition 1985, section 2.151.0.
Liquor Licensing Courts
Licences for the sale and supply of liquor were from the time of first permanent settlement administered by justices of the peace. By 1885 for every specified licensing district a Licensing Court (VA 2870) of three stipendiary magistrates had jurisdiction to hear and determine the granting or refusing of licences to sell or dispose of liquor; the granting or refusing of a renewal or transfer of a licence and the disqualification and inspection of licensed premises and persons. The Licensing Courts also had responsibility for the containment and reduction of licences and the administration of compensation. Administratively the courts were supported by the clerks of Petty Sessions.
In 1907 the function of licence reduction and compensation became the responsibility of the Chief Secretary (see VRG 26).
In 1917 the Licensing Courts for each district were abolished and a centrally administered Licensing Court of Victoria (VA 2955) was established and assumed responsibility for the above functions. It was succeeded in 1954 by the Victorian Licensing Court (VA 2905). Licensing districts were maintained and the Court operated on a circuit basis in courts of Petty Sessions.
In 1968 the system of Licensing Magistrates and Licensing Courts was abolished and all licensing functions were assumed by the Liquor Control Commission (VA 1110) and became the responsibility of the Chief Secretary (VRG 26).
History of Liquor Licensing Courts in Victoria
From the time of first permanent settlement in Victoria in 1836 the licensing of public houses for the sale and supply of liquor was deemed to be a judicial proceeding.
The Act 3 Wm IV, No.8 (June 1833) provided for a General Meeting of the justices acting in and for each district in the Colony, to be held in June each year and to be called the General Annual Licensing Meeting for the special purpose of considering all applications for licences for public houses. Three justices at least were required to be present. The justices were empowered to grant certificates authorising the issue of a licence. These certificates and the fee were then required to be lodged with the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue (Colonial Treasurer, New South Wales) who upon receipt would issue and register the licences.
The Act also established Special General Sessions of the justices for the transferring of licences. All offences under the Act were to be heard at Courts of Quarter Sessions. The Act 8 Wm IV, No.8 (1837) provided for the application of the 1833 legislation in the newly established Port Phillip District and empowered an officer, to be appointed by the Governor-in-Council, to issue publican's licences in lieu of the Colonial Treasurer in Sydney. The first officer authorised to do so was the Police Magistrate, Port Phillip District (see VA 472 and VRG 7), William Lonsdale in September 1837. However by 1839 the Sub-Treasurer had been appointed to issue licences for the Port Phillip District.
The Act regulating the sale and supply of liquor in the Port Phillip District at the time of separation in 1851 was 13 Vic., No.29 (1849). This Act did not substantially alter the liquor licensing law, continuing the system of General Annual Licensing Meetings within each district for the hearing of applications for licences, but allowing for a bench of two justices of the peace when a third was unavailable.
The Act provided for three types of licences, a publican's general licence, a packet licence (ship) and a confectioner's licence. The latter licence was confined to the sale of spruce beer and ginger beer. An 1854 Act (17 Vic., No.24) provided for the registration of spirit merchants. Act 25 Vic., No.147 of 1862 introduced a requirement for distiller's licences, wine grower's and brewer's licences.
In 1864, all then existing statutes were repealed and replaced by the Wines, Beer and Spirits Sale Act 1864 (27 Vic., No.227) which first introduced the single bottle or grocer's licence to be held only by a spirit merchant. This Act abolished the General Annual Licensing Meetings and provided for the granting and transferring of licences to be a judicial proceeding within any sitting of the Court of Petty Sessions within a district.
Under the provisions of the Wines, Beers and Spirits Sale Act, 34 Vic., No.390 (1870), the power to grant licences to be issued under the Act within each district was restricted to a Licensing Bench composed of a stipendiary magistrate and two other justices of the peace nominated by the majority of, and from amongst the justices resident within each licensing district. All applications for the granting, renewal, transfer or forfeiture of licences were to be heard by these appointed magistrates.
Quarterly licensing meetings were to be held at each of the Courts of Petty Sessions within a licensing district each year. Magistrates were bound to give a month's notice of these licensing meetings in the Government Gazette. The Act also allowed an objection by the municipal body to the granting of a licence in a district where there were already a sufficient number of licensed premises. The Act provided that on such an objection a poll should be taken in the neighbourhood, introducing for the first time the concept of the reduction of liquor licences.
Licensing Courts were also supported, from 1876, by Inspectors of Liquor whose job it was to maintain the standard of liquors sold to the public and to ensure that it was unadulterated and fit for consumption. The position was apparently joined with that of Inspectors of Distilleries (Licensed Premises) and operated within the Trade and Customs area (VRG 22) as part of the excise and customs duty function. In 1900-1901 when the customs function passed to the Commonwealth (VRG 87) the Inspectors of Liquor were placed under the authority of the Minister of Public Health (VRG 39). The function has apparently remained with the Health portfolio and although there have been no Inspectors of Liquor as such since about 1978, the duties may possibly still be undertaken as part of the general health investigations area.
Establishment of Licensing Courts (VA 2870) in 1885
The Licensing Act 1885 (40 Vic., No.857) replaced the previous licensing benches with a separate Licensing Court (VA 2870) for each licensing district. Each Licensing Court was constituted by three police magistrates, except in the districts of Melbourne, Geelong and Sandhurst (Bendigo) where the chairman of the Court was to be a County Court Judge. The Act also subjected licensed premises to the control and supervision of a Licensing Inspector, who was empowered both to inspect premises and to give such reports, and make such orders as would ensure the maintenance of standards. Licensing inspectors were appointed by the Governor-in-Council from the police force.
The Licensing Courts (VA 2870) would send duplicates of all certificates for licences granted to the Treasurer (VRG 23), who continued to register and issue all liquor licences. All fees, fines, penalties and forfeitures were to be paid to the Treasurer to be placed in a Trust Fund called the "Licensing Act 1885 Fund" which was to be applied to the carrying out of the provisions of the Act.
The Act further restricted the granting of licences by enacting that no licences should be granted where the statutory number had been exceeded. A reduction in the number of licences in those districts where the statutory number had been exceeded could be effected by a local option poll. Compensation was to be paid from the Licensing Fund to the owners and licensees of closed hotels.
Licensing administration was supported by the Clerks of Petty Sessions in the various areas and the court facilities were used for sittings of the Licensing Courts. However some of the larger courts may have used a separate registrar.
The outstanding provisions of the Licensing Act 1906 (No.2068) dealt with the reduction of licences and the establishment of a special compensation fund and provided for the registration of clubs.
The function of overseeing the systematic and orderly reduction of hotel licences in Victoria, previously carried on by the Licensing Courts (VA 2870) was entrusted to a Board of three members, the Licences Reduction Board (VA 2906). Pursuant to its main function of reducing licences the Board was required to assess the maximum compensation allowable for the loss of a licence, and determine the actual compensation payable to the owner and licensee. It is most probable that the Board reported to the Chief Secretary (VRG 26).

Tactics and Gear for Last-Minute Turkey Hunting
Outdoor Hub Staff 05.24.16
If you have the chance to get out one more time this spring turkey season, the products below could be just the ticket to help harvest a longbeard. Remember, these birds have heard a lot of calling and seen a lot of decoys this spring, so you need to be sharp to fool them. Dress for sunny, hot temperatures, use ultra-realistic decoys and call sparingly. Remember to use subtle and natural ground sounds, too, such as scratching, to simulate a feeding turkey.
Toms will often sneak in quietly late in the spring, so be patient. The good news is almost all of the hens are on nests, so if a tom spots your hen decoy, he might slip in for one last breeding attempt.
It's not over yet . . . shoot straight!
Avian-X Merriam's Lookout Hen/Jake Decoy Combo – $169.99
Avian-X decoys are the secret weapon of many of the country's top turkey hunters. This combo pack combines the Merriam's LCD Lookout Hen and LCD Jake Quarter Strut. The lookout hen shows dominance with her upright head, equally effective in bringing in gobblers for courtship and hens for protection. The sub-dominant Jake entices aggressive gobblers looking for a fight.
Zink Calls Z-Pak Diaphragm Turkey Calls – $19.99
If you love the convenience of carrying and using mouth calls, check out the new Zink Calls Z-Pack Diaphragm Calls. Each easy-to-use call produces realistic sounds that toms can't resist. The traditional Z-Yelper two-reed call features a double-split top reed for easily producing two-note yelps. The triple-reed Z-Cutter produces exceptional back-end rasp, and the two-reed Z-Combo has a combo-cut top reed for easy rasp. As a bonus, this three-pack includes the Turkey Time University DVD.
Flambeau MAD MAX Blind – $20.99
Weighing only 1.55 pounds and quick to set up, the Flambeau MAD MAX Blind utilizes the frame as a shooting stick, creating a blind and firearm rest in one. The low center and high sides ensure only your head and gun are above the Mossy Oak Break-Up Infinity blind, and it can be pivoted around the center support leg, enabling you to stay centered on a moving turkey.
Cabela's Men's Made in the Shade Camo Pants with 4MOST UPF – $32.99
Whether you're turkey hunting or fishing under a hot sun, harmful UV rays don't stand a chance against Cabela's Men's Camo Pants with 4MOST UPF.

Cabela's Men's Made in the Shade 1/4-Zip Top with 4MOST UPF – $27.99
Like the Made in the Shade Camo Pants discussed above, the Made in the Shade 1/4-Zip Top provide outstanding protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. Technical-stretch side panels on this top allow a wide range of motion, the ventilated mesh back yoke is breathable, and the shirt's fabric is moisture wicking, keeping you cool and dry. Chest pockets with zippered closures secure your gear. Available in Cabela's Zonz Western and Cabela's Zonz Woodlands.
Cabela's Men's Made in the Shade Seven-Button Shirt with 4MOST UPF – $19.99
Stay away from harmful UV rays while pursuing last-minute turkeys with the Cabela's Men's Seven-Button Shirt with 4MOST UPF.

Cabela's Women's OutfitHER Made in the Shade Pants with 4MOST UPF – $35.99 – $38.99
This Cabela's Zonz Woodlands camo pair of OutfitHER Pants with 4MOST UPF is perfect for hot-weather turkey and big-game hunts.

Cabela's Women's OutfitHER Made in the Shade Shirt with 4MOST UPF – $32.99 – $35.99

In Utah, broken Military Vets are in a legislative tug-of-war over medical marijuana, as they look for a treatment to cure their emotional and physical disabilities.
They come back home from their tours of duty, and are denied the only medicine they seek, cannabis. The plant, a lot of the vets say, is the only relief for their pain, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and suicidal thoughts. In the 2016 Utah legislative session, activists and lawmakers like state Senator Mark Madsen, made passionate pleas for passage for medical marijuana bill SB-73. Among those veterans he was plea-ing for, are Bobby Sorensen and David Waters. Both West Valley men gave their bodies and spirit for the American military.
"I've been on over 25 medications," Waters said. "Most of those made me want to commit suicide even more so than my depression." Sorensen had his share of "combat cocktails" for pain. "The interaction between morphine and Effexor is bad. I slept 18 hours a day. It just wasn't fun," he said. Sorensen called getting off the mixture "hell." His wife, Britnie, says he cannot even drive. "Here in Salt Lake, he can't even handle traffic down 700 East," she said. "Or when I'm driving, he sees potholes and he braces himself." But Bobby Sorensen went to California and Colorado and tried medicinal marijuana. He said he could finally think straight. Britnie said, sobbing, that Bobby was his old self, "Just after taking a third of an edible the night before, and just see him functioning for 12 hours afterward." Bobby Sorensen says he has tried medicinal marijuana since then. But David Waters has not. "I love being around my family," Waters said. "I don't want to take the chance of being caught with marijuana just once, and being thrown in prison for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, until it's legalized, Waters will have to make due. While some well known psychologists are trying to argue too much of the herb could be addicting, which we know isn't the case, no one can deny the difference in effect and safety when it comes to medicinal marijuana. "One little piece of candy calms their brains, relieves their anxiety, and makes it so they can function throughout the day," Waters said. Join the movement Utah, help our Vets and their quality of life!

Below is a sample meal plan, feel free to adjust it to suit you. If there is something you don't like, substitute it with something you enjoy. For example, it's ok to substitute shrimp or chicken for salmon, and rice for pasta or yams, and 10 almonds for ¼ avocado. Get creative, but keep your portion sizes in mind!
I have found that 4 decent sized meals a day works best for me – keeping me full and satiated throughout the day – however, I only eat my breakfast around 10:00am, so this might not work as well for you. I am a firm believer in the fact that we are all different, and we each need to find what works best for us. I will be more than happy to work with you and help you find what works best for you, just send me a message or request to have me as your FREE coach here.

If I zoom in on the topo map, everything is in metric. How can I change it to English? I want the maps on feet, not meters

@jr11811 Hi, there is no possibility to switch the units. The map is from Czech supplier Mapy.cz and they don't support imperial units.

WikiTrend.org: Wine Popularity is Inspiring Out-of-the-Bottle Thinking
The trends-spotting site is following wine trends that are anything but vintage.
New York, NY, April 26, 2014 --(
)-- WikiTrend.org, the leading trends collective, is noting a rise in the number of wine trends. Wine continues to grow in popularity amongst consumers, and wineries are doing everything they can to include as many drinkers as possible.
"Wine sales continue to climb upward," says a WikiTrend.org spokesperson. "Consumers are looking for unique flavors and quality vintages. However, not all wine drinkers want the same things. And that has left room for innovation."
More casual drinkers are left with a variety of interesting packaging choices. For example, the bag of wine is no longer limited to cheap grape that appeals to college students. Premium styles such as Merlot and Malbec are now available in sealable, multi-use bags. Some options even come with a spout. Wines are also available in cans and in single-serve cups with tear-off lids. This leaves casual drinkers with more choices and less pressure when choosing a wine.
The flavor of wine is also changing. In France, a variety of sweet wines in familiar flavors are being offered to younger consumers. Flavors include fruit notes and cola. To appeal to more experienced drinkers, vineyards are also making wines more potent. Alcohol content is rising to provide more powerful and complex flavor.
"Just because a product is popular, it does not mean it has to remain stagnant," says the WikiTrend.org spokesperson. "Winemakers are working hard to fuel sales and continue growth. The creative thinking necessary is on display."

Rightly or wrongly, it looks as though 2016 is going to be marked as a particularly horribilis annus by the gods of record-keeping. Certainly, in political terms, events in the UK, USA, Italy, Poland and a few other countries suggested that the forces of liberalism are being drowned out by a growing tide of conservatism. This isn't the time for delving into such topics, but it is interesting to consider what sort of impact these global developments have had on the perfume world, which is, after all, vitally concerned about whether people feel able to spend their hard-earned pennies.
In the territory of independent scents, the reaction appears to have been a retreat. True, several new indie brands launched this year, and many of them - together with their more established counterparts - gave us some commendable scents. But overall, the so-called niche side of the industry has come across as extremely fearful and reluctant to push the envelope in the very ways which caught scentusiasts' attention in the first place.
Indeed, when I created my initial shortlist of fragrances for possible inclusion on this year's Best Of list, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of mainstream names I jotted down. We got at least one 'thumbs up' creation from Guerlain, Dior, Chanel, Cartier, Bulgari, Acqua Di Parma, John Varvatos and Bottega Veneta, not to mention the high-profile players who did make it to my final cut.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — John Lennon's killer will seek his freedom this week for a sixth time.
Mark David Chapman is scheduled to appear before a parole board at Attica Correctional Facility in upstate New York. It's Division of Parole policy to identify only the week, not the day, the hearing will take place.
Parole officials are expected to release their decision the day after the hearing and a transcript about a week later.
The former maintenance man from Hawaii has been in prison nearly 30 years for gunning down the former Beatle on a Manhattan sidewalk outside The Dakota on Dec. 8, 1980. He was sentenced to 20 years to life after pleading guilty to second-degree murder.
Now 55, Chapman has been denied parole five times, appearing before the board every two years since 2000.
Last week, Yoko Ono said Chapman might be a danger to her, other family members and perhaps even himself and that she was trying to be "practical" in asking that Chapman remain behind bars.
At his last parole hearing, Chapman said he was ashamed and sorry for gunning down the former Beatle. He told the parole board he understood the gravity of his actions and was a changed man.
A new documentary on Lennon's family and artistic life in New York in the 1970s is scheduled to air Nov. 22 as part of the "American Masters" public TV series. "LennonNYC" will include rare studio recordings, concert film outtakes and home movies.
The film "is about New York, the city he was in love with and strangely, the city that he loved so much, it killed him," Ono said. "It was his love, and it was his death."
Lennon would have been 70 in October.

NO he killied horabbly. He took JohnLennons life. If he could bring him back and alive breathing I would say yes. Guess what. John Lennon will never be alive to create music again. Thanks to him. NO reverseing that.
Ham – I couldn't agree more. Sandwhiches are excellent. I'm glad someone here finally had the courage to say this.
IF he gets out, he'll write a book, becime a reality t.v. star, get a movie deal and make big money. That's the American way! God help us all.
Let him out. And I hope somebody is waiting for him as he waited for John.
I like sandwiches
leave him in prison.
if he is released, no matter how 'changed' he thinks he is, there is alot of people who wouldn't care how changed he was. He took John Lennon from the world. Think of the guy that shot the guy that killed Kennedy.
killers must die – not house & feed by us, what did we do?
This guy never deserves to see the light of day because he can't function in society. That, and the fact that there are those who haven't forgot what he took from us. I don't think he'd be safe out of prison.
Chapman is guilty, but not of killing John Lennon.
Chapman was a patsy, just as Oswald, Sirhan, and Ray were patsies in the killings of JFK, RFK, and MLK.
The murders of people-power leaders by the FBI and international intelligence agencies didn't start with JFK, nor did they stop with MLK.
Lennon was killed by a second, hiding, gunman on the other side of the lane from where Chapman was. It was in the compound, not "on a Manhattan sidewalk, which this typical MSM story says.
Search a little and find some truth, please. Sherman Skolnick knew. Mae Brussel knew. They weren't the only ones. Search for them. It's easy. Read what they said and wrote a long time ago. The MSM will never report it to you.
I take responsibility for what I say. I'm not hiding behind a screen name. I'm James Laffrey.
If John Lennon is still dead, Chapman should be kept inside.
There are paroles/excons that have done what Mr Chapman to "regular"
citizens that are on the street after at least 7 years.
The only reason Mr Chapman is still in prison is because he killed John Lennon.
The man convicted of killing Malcom X is on the street.
Mental patients belong in a hospital not a prison.
A review of data from the US Department of Justicei llistrates that Mr Chaoman is still in prison because he killed a some one famous. If he killed Joe Blow he would have been released.
I absoutely agreed with you, Ben Saber. As well, freedom was what he never allowed John to have. Why does he sought for freedom? To do what with it? Kill another in the name of insanity???? If he is that sick … Prison is the best place for him to keep from hurting other people since he cannot be trusted and capable of taking care of himself other than killing. Let me ask this question … why killing another when that insanity head of his could as well tell him to end his life … kill himself???
I never understood what John Lemons saw in Okinawa. She looked like a man…
i am sure if it was a black man, he was killed
out??? what for??? if freedom was that important to him, he shouldn't have stopped and killed forever for that man. Let him stay there …at least, he still have his life. Let him live the rest in prison.
I never like John Lennon anyways.
It's John Lemons fool!
They should have executed him in the first place so we would not have to take care of a killer for 30 years and pay people to evaluate him for parole every 2 years and the media wasting attention and we talking about his problem today.
no way can he assimilate himself into society… Even people that have lived their whole life in this society can not assimilate!!!! I guess if you have a 24 hour person ( appointed by the court) to keep an eye on him at his new job…. Maybe (the government ) can get him a job at the used record store selling Beatles memorabilia he can autograph IMAGIME THAT
John didn't get the chance to survive and share the rest of his life with his widow, Yoko, and his son Sean. His killer is not needed in our society; we have enough of these "reformed killers" loose on our streets.
Even if John survived, he may not have wanted to live with his window anyways. Windows are well too delicate…
I agree. I would hate to know that a cold-blooded murderer has been turned loose on our streets. What possible vindicating excuse could a parole board offer up if they decided to turn loose amongst the public a man who kills in cold blood? In answer to the medication(s) mentioned by Collins let me ask, if his mental status dependeds upon meds, who will guarentee his daily compliance with such a medication regimen.
This killed the living legend, the leader of the Monkeys. How can we even consider letting him out. Even considering is like you're cookoo for cocoa puffs.
It ain't right. When the Beatles are on iTunes, then release him. Until, then incarcerate the man and let the vatos and choloos take care of him homes.
I say let him go, and we'll play it by ear.
He killed a beatle for no reason at all Can you imagine what John Lennon would have given the world if havibg been alive.all those last 30 years….This murderer should be im jail the rest of his life..he deserves the maximum sentence
John Lennon dosent have a chance to come back every two years why should he, i say let him stay till he rots
contridictions mental patient and chose his destiny I would suggest that he is incapable of choice therefor he must remain under supervision
sorry whatever your name is…i understand about mental illness and all that…but you are going to die in prison as you should…spend your days advocating for mental illness awareness and pray for the next generation…
Why is he allowed to live at all? Our society is so weak. He kills a man in cold blood. Zero doubt of his guilt. He shouldn't get to live.
so it's a mark of strength to kill, then?? put your gun down for two seconds cowboy…
Let him stay in prison. He has choosen for this and was able to think about the consequences too in 1980.
I don't think he should EVER get out of prison!
If the guy is mentally ill, let him out and give him a chance. With all the new medications out there available today, he may stand a chance to have a normal life. I think the guy suffered enough. Then again, he may not make in the outside world because he'll still feel like he's in prison because of all the media that will surround him and he won't be able to get a job. All in all, it really doesn't matter at this point whether he gets out or not. Don't know what's better, prison or a half-house with no job and complete loneliness. He'll be better taken care of in jail anyway.
Are you nuts Collins? Let me get this straight – you want to release a confirmed killer/ mental patient, because there might be some drugs to help him? Maybe YOU need to get some medication. If he gets let out, I'll KILL HIM!!
How I love John Lennon's work, and understand his messages of peace (and forgiveness), but at least ask Jullian, Yoko, and Sean Lennon say how they feel about it.
If the NY powers that be let him out, I guarantee he gets killed.
Are you a nut or what ? You understand John Lennon's messages of peace and forgiveness, but yet if he get out, "YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM". Better stop and do a self-check there DOC ??
John Lemons was an idiot.
And so are you.
I agree,maybe collins is his pen pal? Eother way hes not getting out,or IF he does it wont last long because everyone who was a fan or is will hunt that guy down and do to him what he did to poor john. Godbless to johns family.
"give him a chance", "have a normal life" , "suffered enough", "won't be able to get a job", "no job and complete loneliness" Are you serious?
Let him stay in prison. He is still a threat to society because he is a mental patient and he could snap at any time. He chose his destiny.
If he is a mental patience, then he could't have chosen his destiny, he can't determine what's a good and bad decision.

Party Down South might be over, but that doesn't mean the cast is far from over, especially Lyle Boudreaux. We checked in with him to see what he's up to, and, of course, where him and Santana stand.
Q. What are you up to these days?
A. I've been cooking, and working on a cook book actually.
Q. What's next for you?
A. Take my show biz to another level. I have a couple things on the table that I want to do. I'd like to make my own cooking show. Travel across the United States and cook for people.
Q. What's your relationship status?
A. I am a single guy. Very handsome. 6′ 3″. Hazel green eyes, you know. Ha ha. No, I'm just focused on getting my little girl raised. I'm not going to moving to any relationship real quick.
Q. What are you looking for in a girl?
A. I'm might just marry my truck. She's been very loyal to me, and she keeps a smile on my face!
Q. Where do you stand with Santana?
A. We're friends. I can't hate nobody forever, but I can't date someone who isn't loyal to me. She still calls me every now and then. But, I'm just focused on myself right now.
I'd rather just take care of myself, and my daughter. I'm finally back to happiness again, trying to fix my future for me.
Q. Anything happen between you and Santana after the show?
A. We started talking again. We was broken up for Thanksgiving, Christmas. For New Year's, we chilled for a couple weeks, and then that was it. The spark just wasn't there anymore.
Santana still wants to get back and work on things, but I can't fake it. Where we stand right now, we're just friends. And no telling what the future holds, if she gets her head on straight, there could be a possibility, but right now, no.
Q. Who from the cast do you hang out with the most?
A. I went and saw Mattie for Christmas. I still holler at Tiffany. Me and Daddy, and Murray talk on the phone. And Walt plays phone tag. It's a hit and miss. And, Lauren, we've chilled at Tiffany's. And Hannah, yes.
Q. What's the best pick-up line you've received?
A. You must be my appendix. I don't know how you work, or what's going on inside. But I want to take you out!
Q. Anything you want to say to your fans?
A. Keep close eye on my social media, and they will learn how to cook.

USA TODAY - When students head back to school this fall, most will be offered a smorgasbord of healthier foods in lunch lines. Many school districts are doing major overhauls. But some have already made significant improvements in nutritional quality of meals over the last few years, and this year they're upping their game.
NY TIMES - Adolescents in states with strict laws regulating the sale of snacks and sugary drinks in public schools gained less weight over a three-year period than those living in states with no such laws, a new study has found.
The obesity epidemic in the U.S. will eventually bankrupt the nation if left unchecked, according to a Bipartisan Policy Center report titled "Lots to Lose: How America's Health and Obesity Crisis Threatens our Economic Future," that outlines recommendations for curbing the crisis.
TIME Healthland - Initiatives like Freshmobile, designed to help improve the diet of people living in neighborhoods where quality fresh foods are hard to obtain, have been quite literally "popping up" all over the country.

Many New Hampshire businesses may start workplace wellness programs in an effort to help stabilize health care costs, but several Keene area businesses have found that the benefits go beyond controlling company expenses and can actually address workers' biggest complaint: stress.

6 months baby knows how to reach his favorite toy by rolling. But, he is not settled with just playing with one toy. He wants to explore his surroundings with a broader view. His neck, upper body, back muscles, legs and arms are getting robust day by day. Real fun is in to check out all the toys with both the hands. That comes when the baby is able to sit without supporting his body with own hands. You can see your baby approaching this milestone as early as 6 months or as late as 9 months.
Crawling milestone comes soon after the baby becomes pro in coming to sitting position on her own. Gradually, baby will realize his potential of going back and forth on his tummy with straight limbs first, then discovers the required push with his knees to get moving. Initially baby will need you to put him back to the sitting position when he is tired practicing his crawling skills. Later, baby becomes independent enough to change positions. You can expect the baby coming to a standing position holding on to something by 9 months. Baby is quite vocal now with his long babbles.
Your sharp baby will surprise you when he points to his favorite animal when you call its name. All babies develop at a different pace. The more opportunities, you give to a baby for free play in a safe room, the better are the chances to find that perfect Kodak moment earlier in infant's life.

Selling your house while simultaneously acquiring a new a single can be a daunting task, but it CAN be accomplished effectively! I did appear into to a short sale only to uncover out that that could be a nightmare in its self. If the current owner is reluctant to let you do so, then this must raise your suspisions! It is not against the law for an estate agent to sell a home by a tender process but it can be confusing for the buyer if the agent isn't clear about the approach. However, with a 3{553a2bab47607db58937e8b5f08f169ae6a2a5e05b62106fabf5c75f7800d625} down payment, your monthly payment jumps to $1,994, a 32{553a2bab47607db58937e8b5f08f169ae6a2a5e05b62106fabf5c75f7800d625} jump.
You can make an offer you in the form of a contract of sale which will turn out to be legally binding if the vendor signs it. If you are arranging to make this kind of provide it is recommended that you incorporate a condition in writing that if it is not signed by the vendor by a distinct date the provide and the contract grow to be invalid. A exciting benefit of buying a home with plenty of area to garden is that you get to grow to be a constructive function model for your family, pals, and even neighbors throughout your community. If you are considering that you do not want a realtor when getting from a bank, believe once again.
The further coverage is fundamentally an insurance coverage policy that is getting sold to you which requires a deductible payment and the perform is not performed by the dealer or manufacturer. If the home is in a termite-prone region usually get a professional pest inspection if you are seriously considering buying the home. If you personal your house as tenants in common, this implies that it belongs to you and the other owner(s)jointly, but that you all also personal a certain share of its worth.
A fixed rate is typically slightly higher, but gives you the safety of a regular payment each month.

A DAP of $six,000 over ten years at 5.50 percent interest would equal a payment of $65.12. I like to use the hip roof design and style, it is pleasing to the eye, it is the very best roof for higher winds, certainlly a very good thought with the hurricanes and tropical storms located in South Florida.
I don't know if this is our dream property is absolutely a step in the proper path to buying a dream property and we're really content right here.
