Winfield Dunn: John Jay Hooker is Right on Retention Elections
Former Tennessee Gov. Winfield Dunn, who in 1971 signed a bill into law that changed the way the state selects appeals judges, on Friday said that enacting the bill was a mistake.
From The Tennessean:
"At the time I signed it, I felt constrained by many other issues," Dunn said. "I regret signing the retention election bill."
Those comments followed a hearing at the Tennessee Supreme Court in which attorney John Jay Hooker, merciless critic of judicial appointments, presented his argument that state law says appeals judges ought to be elected by voters, not appointed. It's a position Hooker has championed in court but lost so many times that, some joke, everyone has lost count — even Hooker himself.
"If you want to wear those black robes, not just for this afternoon, you have to run for it, and run the risk of losing," Hooker said in a theatrical performance, punctuated by finger wags and podium pounds. "It's not fun to lose. I've become a professional at it."
The judges were not the typical members of the state's high. Instead, they were appointed by Gov. Bill Haslam after Hooker complained that the usual justices shouldn't hear the case since they were all chosen through the current system.
Hooker, a former Democratic candidate for governor who lost to Dunn, has sued the state and asked the special court to reverse a 1973 decision, Higgins v. Dunn, which supported the current system.
…Attorney Janet Kleinfelter, representing the state, said it was not the first time but should be the last time the state defends the way appeals judges are elected, known formally as the Tennessee Plan.
Kleinfelter pointed out that the system has twice held up on appeal, and that other state supreme courts, such as Georgia's, have concluded that appointing appeals judges is constitutional.
"This judicial system is entitled to finality," Kleinfelter said.

Judicial Nominating Commission completes selections for 3 appeals courts
News release from Administrative Office of the Courts:
The Judicial Nominating Commission met on June 27 in Chattanooga, June 28, 2013 in Nashville, and June 29 in Jackson to hold public hearings and conduct interviews of candidates for the upcoming Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals and Court of Appeals vacancies.
After interviewing a total of 35 candidates for the three positions, the commission selected these attorneys for nomination to Governor Bill Haslam for consideration in the following openings. Two panels were forwarded for each vacancy because the governor has the option to reject the first panel and the Judicial Nominating Commission, which by law ceases to exist after June 30, 2013 would not be able to act and select a second panel.
The openings are created by the announcements by Judge Joseph Tipton, Judge Patricia Cottrell and Judge Alan E. Highers that they will not seek retention in the August 2014 election.
The list of nominees is below.

Judicial Nominating Commission Picks Candidates for ET Seat
The Tennessee Judicial Nominating Commission on Thursday selected nominees to submit to Gov. Bill Haslam for a position on the Eastern Section of the Court of Criminal Appeals, reports the Chattanooga TFP.
Solemnly arrayed in the Sheraton Read House Terrace Room, 15 applicants made statements before a panel of 15 nominating commission members, who then interviewed each candidate in turn.
Traditionally, the commission submits only one panel of three names for the governor to review. If he rejects those three applicants, members vote on a second panel of names. However, the commission will cease to exist at midnight Sunday when the legislative provisions creating it expire.
"It's different from what we've done historically because the commission sunsets at the end of the month," said J. Bartlett Quinn, a Chattanooga attorney and commission secretary.
To ensure the commission fulfills its function one last time, the commissioners submitted a second panel of names in the event that Haslam rejects the first three.
The two lists:
• Boyd Patterson, assistant district attorney in Chattanooga
• Robert Montgomery, a criminal court judge in the 2nd Judicial District, from Blountville, Tenn.
• Thomas Wright, a circuit court judge in the 3rd Judicial District in Greeneville, Tenn.
• William Jackson Brown, a Cleveland attorney
• Charles Edward Atchely Jr., a Knoxville attorney
• Samuel Lee, an attorney in Clinton, Tenn.

Vandy Law Prof: End of Judicial Nominating Commission No Big Deal
News release from Vanderbilt University:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The end of the state Judicial Nominating Commission will not cause any hitches in the nomination of judges in Tennessee including a replacement for retiring Supreme Court Justice Janice Holder, said a Vanderbilt Law School professor.
The state legislature is shutting down the commission June 30, and voters will not vote on the amendment outlining the new procedure to pick judges until next year.
Holder plans to retire Aug. 31, 2014. The Judicial Nominating Commission has been involved in presenting nominees to the governor for Supreme Court and appeals court vacancies.
"In my view, Tennessee law has been amended over the years to permit for the selection of appellate judges and interim trial judges to continue uninterrupted and with only minor changes from the status quo when the commission expires," writes Brian T. Fitzpatrick, professor of law at Vanderbilt Law School, in a paper for The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies, Sunsetting the Tennessee Judicial Nominating Commission: What Now?

Ten Apply for West TN Court of Appeals Seat
Nashville, Tenn. – The Judicial Nominating Commission will consider ten applicants when it meets later this month in Jackson to select nominees for the upcoming vacancy on the Tennessee Court of Appeals Western Section.
The opening is the result of Court of Appeals Judge Alan E. Highers informing Gov. Bill Haslam that he will retire at the end of his term, August 31, 2014. Because statutory provisions for the Judicial Nominating Commission expire June 30, 2013, the commission will meet this month to select a slate of candidates for Gov. Bill Haslam to choose from.
The Judicial Nominating Commission will meet Saturday, June 29 in Jackson at the DoubleTree Hotel, 1770 Highway 45 Bypass, to interview and hear public comments regarding the 10 applicants. A public hearing will start at 9 a.m. and be followed by individual interviews of all the candidates.
The commission is expected to make their selections immediately following the interviews. They will send two slates, each with three names, to the governor for his consideration.
Completed applications of all the candidates can be found on TNCourts.gov.

Ramsey Fills Judicial Nominating Commission Vacancy
News release from Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey':
Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey (R-Blountville) today announced the appointment of Charles Tuggle of Memphis to the Judicial Nominating Commission. Tuggle will fill the vacancy left by the death of commission member Elizabeth Collins.
"Identifying individuals capable of rendering prudent decisions in agreement with our laws as written is important work," said Lt. Governor Ramsey. "Charles Tuggle is an accomplished attorney and executive as well as a veteran of our armed forces. I trust that he will work well with the current members of the commission to ensure Tennessee has the best possible judiciary."
"I appreciate Lt. Governor Ramsey giving me the opportunity to serve," said Tuggle. "I look forward to serving my state in this capacity."
Mr. Tuggle is currently executive vice president and general counsel for First Horizon National Corp. Tuggle practiced law for 30 years with the law firm of Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz before joining the FTN Financial division of First Tennessee Bank as chief risk officer in 2003.
Tuggle earned a bachelor of arts degree from Rhodes College and his Juris Doctorate from Emory University. Tuggle is a graduate of the Georgia State University ROTC program and served as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army.
The Judicial Nominating Commission was created in 2009 when Lt. Governor Ramsey reformed the process for selecting Tennessee's appellate judges to provide more transparency and accountability in the judiciary. The commission has 17 members and is responsible for making judicial nominations to state appellate courts and the state Supreme Court when vacancies arise.
Note: The commission will cease to exist on June 30, but plans to select nominees for three appellate court positions before then. Previous post HERE.

New John Jay Hooker Lawsuit Challenges Plan to Appoint 3 New Judges
NASHVILLE – John Jay Hooker has filed a lawsuit aimed at blocking the appointment of successors to three appeals court judges who plan to retire Aug. 31, 2014, contending move will wrongfully deny voters the right to make choices in the Aug. 7, 2014, election.
"They have created a situation so there will be no election for their seats," said Hooker, 82, a lawyer and past candidate for multiple political offices who has waged a series of legal battles against the state's judicial selection system. "The state Constitution requires that there be an election… They are unconstitutionally calling off an election."
The state's Judicial Nominating Commission, which will cease to exist at the end of this month, has announced plans to select nominees to fill the three appeal court seats before then and send them to Gov. Bill Haslam.
Those announcing plans to retire effective Aug. 31, 2014, are Court of Appeals Judge Patricia Cottrell of Nashville, Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Joseph Tipton of Knoxville and Court of Appeals Judge Alan Highers of Memphis. The commission plans hearings June 27, 28 and 29 to select nominees.
Haslam intends to accept the nominations and make the appointments after "an appropriate amount of time" to review the nominees and make a decision, according to a gubernatorial spokesman.
Hooker's lawsuit, filed in Davidson County Circuit Court, names Haslam, Tom Lawless, chairman of the Judicial Nominating Commission, and state Attorney General Bob Cooper as defendants. The lawsuit seeks an injunction against the commission submitting nominees and the governor acting on them.
Hooker said proceedings in the case will be before Circuit Court Judge Hamilton Gayden, who also presided over a separate recent Hooker lawsuit – one of several filed over the years – that challenged to system for selecting judges of the state Supreme Court and appeals courts.
Gayden ruled against Hooker on most points in that lawsuit, but found he was correct in one assertion – that the Court of Appeals and Court of Criminal Appeals judges should be assigned districts for election rather than be elected in a statewide vote.
A specially appointed state Supreme Court will hear arguments July 19 on that case. The state's sitting Supreme Court justices all recused themselves from hearing the case.
No hearing has been scheduled yet in the new Hooker lawsuit. A spokeswoman for Cooper said the attorney general's office had not served with a copy of the lawsuit Wednesday and would have no comment.
Note: Hooker filed a copy of this story, which appeared earlier in the News Sentinel and this blog, as an exhibit in his new lawsuit.

Governor to Go Along With Early Judge Selection Plan
Tennessee's Judicial Nominating Commission, which will cease to exist at the end of this month, is moving to play its role in naming successors to three appeals court judges who have announced they will retire more than a year from now.
The commission's farewell performances will come in meetings June 27, 28 and 29 to select nominees to succeed Court of Appeals Judge Patricia Cottrell of Nashville, Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Joseph Tipton of Knoxville and Court of Appeals Judge Alan Highers of Memphis.
All three have announced an intention to retire effective Aug. 30, 2014, when the terms of all sitting state judges will expire following retention elections for new judicial terms on Aug. 7, 2014.
If things go according to plan, the commission will submit a slate of nominees to succeed each of the three retiring appellate judges to Gov. Bill Haslam before June 30, when the panel will "sunset," or cease to exist.

UT Fires Administrator Amid Reports of 'Improper Relationships'
The University of Tennessee has fired the director of the Office of Student Judicial Affairs and hired a local lawyer to investigate whether she had improper relationships with student-athletes, reports the News Sentinel.
Jenny Wright, an office employee since 2008, tried to step down from her position Thursday, but UT refused to accept her resignation. Instead, Provost Susan Martin sent Wright a pre-termination letter Friday.
"Based on information we have received to date, and based on your refusal to cooperate in an investigation into allegations regarding your actions, the university has reason to believe that grounds exist to terminate your employment for unsatisfactory work-related behavior," Martin wrote in an email Friday.
Wright was given the chance to meet Monday to discuss her status, but she did not show up, documents show. Martin sent another letter Monday informing Wright that she was fired.
The university began looking into accusations of improper behavior before hiring Beecher Bartlett,a Knoxville attorney with a background in employment cases, last week.
UT declined to release any documents related to the probe while it's ongoing. Bartlett also declined to give any details about the accusations, how many students may be involved and how the officials first learned of the alleged behavior.

Премия «Сезар» за лучшую мужскую роль () вручается ежегодно с 1976 года актёру, исполнившему лучшую главную мужскую роль во французском кинофильме. Премия вручается по результатам голосования членов французской национальной Академии искусств и технологий кинематографа (), основанной в 1974 году Жоржем Кравенном.

Церемония вручения наград проходит ежегодно в феврале (ранее награждения также проходили в январе, марте и апреле) в парижском театре «Шатле» (с 2002 года). Премии вручаются за фильмы предыдущего года.

По состоянию на 2022 года прошло 47 церемоний вручения.

Единственным актёром, трижды побеждавшим в этой номинации, является Мишель Серро (1979, 1982, 1996). По 2 раза выигрывали пятеро: Филипп Нуаре (1976 и 1990), Жерар Депардьё (1981 и 1991), Даниэль Отёй (1987 и 2000), Мишель Буке (2002 и 2006) и Матьё Амальрик (2005 и 2008).

По количеству номинаций (включая победы) лидируют с отрывом Жерар Депардьё (17) и Даниэль Отёй (14). Кроме них ещё 9 актёров были номинированы не менее пяти раз:

 Жерар Депардьё 3 раза номинировался по 4 года подряд (1976—1979, 1983—1986, 1988—1991). Кроме него никому не удалось добиться этого хотя бы раз. Между первой (1976) и последней (2016) номинацией Депардьё прошло 40 лет
 Депардьё и Отёй на двоих в сумме номинировались 31 раз (17+14), но всего лишь трижды — одновременно (1989, 1991 и 1995), при том, что их разница в возрасте составляет чуть больше года.
 Жан-Пьер Марьель был номинирован трижды: первый раз в 1976 году, второй раз — спустя 16 лет, и третий раз — спустя ещё 16 лет. У Марьеля также есть 4 номинации в категории «Лучший актёр второго плана», но нет ни одной победы

Josef Schumacher is a pastor in Berlin witnessing the rise of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich and the increasing influence of the Nazi youth movement on the young people of his church. Fearful of the sway of prevailing rhetoric and misguided patriotism, Josef risks everything to counteract the lies of a Facist government and the charismatic power of the Führer. When Nazi doctrine begins manifesting itself within his own congregation, Josef can no longer remain silent.
Josef's wife, Mady, about to give birth to their first child, finds her world turned suddenly upside down. Will she realize the depth of Josef's love for her? Will she recognize its reflection of divine love?


Charlotte, N.C. (September 15, 2011)— After 22,183 registrations, 61,559 votes and feedback from PGA TOUR standout and 2012 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Davis Love III, McGladrey is proud to announce that the 2011 Caddie for Love grand prize winner is Claudio Kawecki from Hoboken, New Jersey. As the grand prize winner, Kawecki will receive the once-in-a-lifetime chance to caddie for Team McGladrey Member Davis Love III at the RSM International Pro-Am during the 2011 McGladrey Classic, an invitation to the draw reception at the home of Davis and Robin Love, round-trip airfare for two and two nights of accommodations (Oct. 11 and 12) at Sea Island Resort.
Additionally Matt Stoner, an employee of RSM McGladrey, which operates under the McGladrey brand, won a similar employee-only contest, called Caddie Quest, and will receive similar prizes including the chance to caddie for Team McGladrey Member Zach Johnson during the RSM International Pro-Am.
After impressive essays and photo entries that garnered thousands of votes, illustrating their knowledge of the respective PGA TOUR pros, the game of golf and The Power of Being Understood – the firm's approach to doing business by first truly understanding clients' needs and then providing exceptional value – Kawecki and Stoner were named semi-finalists. From there, they posted humorous semifinalist videos to www.CaddieForLove.com and to an employee intranet site. Kawecki's and Stoner's winning videos not only again attracted scores of votes and illustrated the Power of Being Understood, but impressed Love, Johnson and others involved in the voting enough to make them the winners.
"The golfer/caddie relationship is an important one to me, one that contributes greatly to my success, similar to the relationship McGladrey has with its clients," said Love III, tournament host of The McGladrey Classic. "Claudio understood what voters, McGladrey and I were looking for and I'm excited to have him as my guest and caddie at The McGladrey Classic. Claudio and I are going to have fun at Sea Island, but we'll also be doing some serious work."
Love III ranks sixth in career earnings and is one of the most highly respected golfers currently on the PGA TOUR. Over his 25-year professional career, he has captured 171 Top 10 finishes and racked up 20 career PGA TOUR victories. In 1997, he won the PGA Championship, and in 2012, Davis will lead Team U.S.A. as Ryder Cup captain. Fellow American Zach Johnson, is the 2007 Masters Champion and a regular on PGA TOUR leader boards, netting seven career PGA TOUR wins including the 2010 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.
"I am looking forward to welcoming Matt to my home of Sea Island in October," said Zach Johnson. "It's one of the most beautiful places in the world, and I look forward to sharing it with everyone who participates in The McGladrey Classic."
"Caddie for Love and Caddie Quest were great successes and helped strengthen the McGladrey brand with our clients, potential clients and employees," said Ricki Lasky, senior director – sports marketing for RSM McGladrey. "We know that many of our clients and potential clients enjoy watching and playing the game of golf, and we're delighted that The McGladrey Classic provides them with an opportunity to enjoy the game. Perhaps most importantly, however, we're proud to support Special Olympics, Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Georgia and other local charitable organizations through proceeds raised by the tournament. I look forward to having Claudio and Matt participate in the excitement at Sea Island."
Caddie for Love and Caddie Quest are sponsored by RSM McGladrey, Inc. and McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, which operate under the McGladrey brand as one of the nation's largest providers of assurance, tax and consulting services. For the external contest rules and regulations, visit: www.caddieforlove.com.
The McGladrey Classic is a PGA TOUR event played on the Seaside Course at Sea Island Golf Club in Saint Simons Island, Ga. The tournament is hosted by the Davis Love Foundation, which was established by PGA Professional Davis Love III for the purpose of contributing to the well-being and progress of society by supporting both national and community-based programs that focus on children and their families. The McGladrey Classic is named for title sponsor McGladrey. McGladrey is the brand under which RSM McGladrey, Inc. and McGladrey & Pullen, LLP serve clients' business needs. Together, they rank as the fifth-largest U.S. provider of assurance, tax and consulting services, with 7,000 professionals and associates in more than 80 offices.

By John Boyle
Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins is a Pro Bowler again.
The NFL on Tuesday announced Atkins has been voted to the AFC team for this season's Pro Bowl.
"It's an honor to be named to the Pro Bowl and Geno is very deserving," said Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said in a release. "Geno has put together another strong season and continues to show why he is one of the best defensive players in the league."
It's the eighth career Pro Bowl nod for Atkins, the most ever by a Bengals defensive player and second most in team history behind Hall of Fame offensive tackle Anthony Munoz (11).
Atkins has 42 tackles this season, including 4.5 tackles and 4 tackles for losses.
Running back Joe Mixon was voted a fifth alternate at running back and safety Brandon Wilson (injured reserved) was voted a second alternate as a kick returner.
Alternates are added to the game if voted player(s) in their position group are unable to participate. Selections from the two teams reaching the Super Bowl will be among those unable to play, as will players who are not cleared due to injury.
The 2020 Pro Bowl is set for Sunday, Jan. 26 at 3 p.m. at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.

The Club Foundation Names 2018 Sally Burns Rambo Scholarship Recipients
Alexandria, VA – The Club Foundation is pleased to announce the 2018 recipients of the Sally Burns Rambo Scholarship. Established in 2012 by The Club Foundation with the assistance of the Club Managers Association of America's (CMAA) Texas Lone Star Chapter, the Sally Burns Rambo Scholarship honors mentor, role model, and pioneer Sally Burns Rambo, CCM, who paved the way for the success of countless club industry leaders.
Alexandria Bearden, Paradise Valley Country Club, Paradise Valley, AZ
Sally Becker, CCM, The Country Club of Fairfield, Fairfield, CT
Kimberly Brady, Gulph Mills Golf Club, King of Prussia, PA
Lindsey Bolander, Country Club of Lincoln, Lincoln, NE
Kathryn Cipresso, CCM, Country Club of Buffalo, Williamsville, NY
Millie Harper, CCM, North Ridge Country Club, Raleigh, NC
Sandy McDowell, Cosmos Club, Washington, DC
Tonya Williams, Charlotte City Club, Charlotte, NC
To honor Sally Burns Rambo's memory and the legacy that she created, this scholarship provides financial support to female club managers interested in furthering their professional development. Recipients receive the tuition costs and travel expenses to attend their choice of one of the CMAA's Business Management Institutes.
Curt Kelley, CCM, General Manager of Preston Trail Golf Club in Dallas, TX, shared regarding the scholarship's namesake: "I had the privilege of working for Sally at Lakewood Country Club in Dallas, TX. Of all her accomplishments throughout her 41 year career, Sally was most proud of the work/life balance that she was able to create. She was a proven and respected club manager while also being a wife and loving mother. The latter role extended well beyond her two biological sons to many of us in the industry today! Sally encouraged professionalism, continued education, giving back to community, and quality of life. I wish she was still here today because she was an extraordinary role model and mentor."
The Club Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, was established by CMAA in 1988. The Foundation seeks to fund the life cycle of a club manager's career, providing financial support for five key areas: students, faculty, club managers, CMAA chapters, and the club industry at large. It supports the advancement of club management professionals, funding industry education programs through scholarships and grants. Learn more at www.clubfoundation.org


Whether or not the particular plays complained of by Mr Tebbit (reports, March 28 and 29) were pro-CND propaganda, no-one can be in any doubt of the deplorable attempts being made to politicise the classroom by the forcing of such pseudo-subjects as "peace studies" onto the curriculum.
Is it not high time that responsible Ministers instituted and examination of the current provisions of the Education Act to see if they afford adequate safeguards against the political indoctrination of minors at school?
If such provisions already exist, then they should be strictly enforced. If they do not, then a commitment to protect children from the ideological preferences and prejudices of their teachers should be included in a future Conservative election manifesto.
There is, after all, no self-evident reason for ideologically committed school teachers being less willing to abuse positions of trust than have been ideologically committed Foreign Office diplomats (or Professors of Art History) in the past.

Q: evaluate XPath expression in indesign I tried this code:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
   set ParaIdOrSecId to "ti0005"
   set xpa to "//*[@*='" & ParaIdOrSecId & "']" as string
   tell active document
      tell XML element 1
         set Requriedxpa to evaluate XPath expression using xpa
      end tell
   end tell
end tell

After executing, InDesign Shows a dialog box:

Content contains characters which cannot be encoded.

Why am I not able to execute it, even though its a valid xpath?

A: This problem is not limited to XPath, I know it from other XML features such as export. One typical character to cause the dialog is the right aligned tab (entered as shift-tab). With export it helps to just disable the dialog, because the dialog is wired straight into internal XML streaming and does not produce an error / exception:
set user interaction level of script preferences to never interact

Celebrities are calling for people to help look for actress Arielle Kebbel's missing sister.
Arielle, who is currently promoting her new movie Fifty Shades Freed, took to social media on Saturday (03Feb18) to ask followers to help spread the word about her older sibling Julia Kebbel, 36, who was last seen walking her Labrador in Los Angeles' Silverlake area on 31 January.
Comedienne Amy Schumer also shared the post, writing, "Has anyone seen this woman she is missing please look at @brittanysnow profile and reach out," while hip-hop star Snoop Dogg wrote, "Please help" along with a praying hands emoji.
Some of Arielle's pals are helping to spread the word too, with her Life Unexpected co-star Shiri Appleby taking to Twitter to write a message about Julia and Bryan Greenberg, Kelley Jakle and Odette Annable also writing notes.
In Arielle's original message, she stated that she had hired a private investigator to help locate her sister.
She asked her fans and followers to contact her, or her private investigator, if they have any information.
Police officers at the Los Angeles Police Department have confirmed there is an open investigation into Julia's disappearance.

Another film event in Istria is the well-established Motovun Film Festival. Although held in a small (but very pretty) hilltop town in inland Istria, the event is considered one of the premier film festivals in Croatia. A variety of features from across the world are shown, from documentaries to full-length films.
The 13th Millennium Jump will take place in Zadar on 27th July 2019, with locals and other willing participants gathering on the waterfront and then jumping into the sea at the same time! Around 1,500 people take part each year; here's a video from In Your Pocket explaining the event in more detail. Fun to join in with if you're there!
On the first weekend of August each year, a very famous and historic horseback tournament takes place in the town of Sinj, near Split. Now in its 302nd year (that's not an error!) the Sinjska Alka (or Sinj Alka) sees competitors on horseback armed with lances, aiming to hit the inside of a metal ring (the alka) with points awarded according to which part of the ring they hit. The Sinjska Alka was entered onto the UNESCO Intangible World Heritage List in 2010 (read more on the UNESCO site), and is well worth attending if you're in the region in early August.
The wonderful Full Moon Festival will take place on the Riva in Zadar in mid August. Locals turn off their lights, and head to the candlelit waterfront to enjoy music and food. A must if you're in the region at this time of the year!
Dimensions Festival takes place in Punto Christo, Pula from 28th August to 1st September 2019. The 'little sister' of Outlook (below), Dimensions has grown into a strong event in its own right with world class spinners and breakthrough artists.
Outlook Festival takes place in Punto Christo, Pula from 4th to 9th September 2019. Labelled as "Europe's largest bass culture and dubstep festival", the event is celebrating its 12th year this year; there's always a spectacular opening concert in Pula's Arena!
Starting in September, though mainly taking place in October and the beginning of November, the "Day of Truffles" events are actually a succession of truffle-themed days taking place every weekend at various towns in Istria. Check locally for planned events, and enjoy tasting various food and dishes flavoured with truffles.
The Split Film Festival will take place from 18th to 25th October 2018, showcasing new films from across the world from a variety of categories, themes, genres and styles.
Marunada is a festival devoted to chestnuts – sampling chestnut delicacies & chestnut liquers, collecting chestnuts…and plenty of games and sports events too! Marunada takes place in various venues this month, mainly near Lovran in Istria.
The Good Food Festival in October (14th to 20th November) offers food and drink tastings, culinary walks, workshops, kids events and more.
Mid-November sees Theatre Night in Croatia (having expanded, it also takes place in several other neighbouring countries). Somewhere along the lines of 80 venues in more than 30 towns and cities in the country participate, welcoming over 40,000 attendees. Theatres will hold free (or cheaper) performances, with additional workshops, tours and similar.
Almost all towns in Croatia, however small, will have festive decorations put up to celebrate Christmas. Some, especially the larger towns and cities, will have Christmas fairs, ice skating rinks and other events to celebrate the time of year. This is also true for New Year's Eve – head to the main square of the town/city you're in, and you can probably enjoy a free evening concert until the early hours, which normally has a pause for fireworks at midnight!


Do you want to be notified by email when Cosmic Encounter: Cosmic Alliance becomes available?
This optional Team Cosmic variant places players in randomly determined teams of two, in which they'll attempt to conquer the Cosmos cooperatively. Without discussing their race selection in advance, partners sit opposite each other at the table, where they can occasionally offer a helping hand; whenever a player gains a new foreign colony, he can choose to instead give that colony to his partner.


Well, it looks like I will be having a long trip back to the UK next year. As neither my wife nor I relish 30 hours of travel all in one rush, we have decided to stop off in the US for a couple or three days. And I thought I could arrange this to coincide with a pen show. The chances of this happening again are vanishingly small.
Anyway, we had originally planned to go late April/early May, which would mean taking in the Chicago show. Although technically we are free to choose our dates, due to various work commitments and study (for me) it looks as though we will now be travelling in late August, so it would seem that the San Francisco show would be a better fit. 'Sides which SF is probably going to be more to my wife's liking (by the sea, famous China town area, generally more tourist oriented than Chicago I guess).
So, given that I will most likely only be able to attend the show on one day, which day is best? Bearing in mind that I have no idea what to expect and that I am not coming to look for anything specific. I understand that there is almost no chance to attend any calligraphy classes, so this will be more of a look-see and an opportunity to pick up pens and take notes on sizes and finishes and so on.
Also, as we won't know anybody, is there a kind of 'floor plan' of how the stalls are set out?
The San Fran show is awesome, and a great choice if you're only going to make one show next year.
This year they had a large map/floor plan onsite that was easy to read. I do not know if it's available online beforehand, but you can find 2018's floor plan at the show website.
Double check with the organizers (awesome people) about daily admission, I don't remember the specifics on the rates or availability and that info isn't up on the site anymore.
As with most any show, Saturday is the busiest day, Sunday is usually considerably calmer, with many dealers willing to make deals.
It's likely to be the only opportunity (barring a big lottery win!) that I get to go to a pen show.
Busy is not a problem, but does that mean that on Sunday all the good stuff has gone, and that's why it is quieter? What about earlier days, as I hear some shows run Thursday to Sunday (not sure if this happens at SF)? Admission prices are not a concern, I'd even pay for every day admission and only attend for one half day if it happens to be the best day to do so.
As noted above the reason for the visit is to be able to document pen sizes and fit for my hands. I will not be able to buy any ink unless I wish to ship it (not going to lug it around Europe with us), and I doubt that I'll be able to afford any pens whilst there, considering the continuing uptick in prices. The custom makers are out of bounds, so at least that narrows the focus somewhat. And I don't really want to meet anyone given the largely negative view people here (who may also attend) have of me. So having a paper/e-guide would be useful. I see nothing on the website yet, though it is obviously some months away!

Are there any drop-in classes?
Do pen shows publish a list of vendors?
How early is this published (if at all)?
Is there a recommend selection of vendors that have 'must see' tables for a one-time visitor?
I guess what I am asking here is, given a limited amount of time (likely just a couple of hours) should I have a viewing plan? I don't know how chaotic a show is in terms of volume of people. Jostling for a glimpse of something is not my thing, English politeness prevents me from shouldering my way to the front. Would this mean that I will miss out on a lot of stuff?
EDIT: ooh, forgot one thing. Do attendees have to pay by a certain deadline, or can they pay on the door?

Here EoC, try these articles from Richard Binder on attending your first show and what to expect.
There are almost as many ways to be American as there are Americans being it.
There is no easy answer to this without essentialising and being reductive. Plus there are regional & subcultural differences.
325 Million of them, all with different ways of being in the world.
& of course with 325 million, statistically speaking, there are going to be some awful people and also many astoundingly kind and generous people & everything between.
Keep an open mind. Be nice. Most will be nice back at you.
Just read all of those articles and they are quite off-putting. So much so that I am seriously in doubt about going at all. I just wanted to look around.
One guy's take. You don't have to like, or agree or conform with anyone's advice.
The more reasonable reaction would not be cancelation but just to disregard the advice.
The thing I truly wish to say here to you, I will just say to myself. As it involves exasperation and massive profanity.
You really are trying, difficult and too fragile FOR THE PEN WORLD (!?!). Honestly. Get a grip.
Richard Binder isn't just "one guy" though, is he?
Thing is, we have to stopover somewhere in the US to break our journey into bearable chunks (I'm getting too old for 24 hour flights). It's not like there's an agenda regarding the pen show, we can just as easily spend the day in Chinatown or sitting by the Bay. Binder's description is not encouraging.
You really are trying, difficult and too fragile FOR THE PEN WORLD. Honestly. Get a grip.
In real life I'm actually a gentle, quietly spoken person. Quick to smile, and often a bit baffled why anyone would want to talk with me. Totally different to the online "persona", where I feel I have to be "tougher" to avoid being exploited.
I am sure you have lots of wonderful qualities but you see how cancelling your long planned visit based on one person's advice (advice that you need not follow) is kind of ridiculous?
Maybe talk to a few more folks. Maybe toughen up a little. Maybe find your own way in the world? I honestly wonder how you get through your day.
Why would anyone want to talk to you? Well because you are a person and people are interesting & you share some concerns and interests with others who like pens, writing and calligraphy.
I am down with being self-deprecation. I am prone to darkness and such myself but you take it too far. Think you need to be reflexive about it.
I think you're overlooking the fact that the planned visit is to San Francisco as a rest stop on the journey to the UK. Assuming that the flight connections are okay we will be in the city regardless of whether the pen show was going on. Originally we were going to stop in Chicago but figured SF would be a little more tourist-friendly.
okay. In any case whether you go to the SF pen show or not enjoy your stop-over. I still think you are overthinking this pen show biz but honestly you just do you. I wish you safe travels.
Perhaps I should stop over in Seoul on the return trip?
Shout out & let me know.
Nothing much pen related worth coming here for but so much else. Good eats too. I split my time between Seoul and Daegu during the semester but if I am there when you pass through I can show you about.
I may have read this wrong, but I hope you aren't planning to visit a pen show in SF during a two hour connection time for your onward flight. That would be absolutely impossible. It would still be absolutely impossible with a five hour connection. You will need at least an overnight stay in SF, if you want to visit the SF pen show.
Wherever an "alien" first lands in the US, they have to first go through immigration, say at least one hour, depending on airport, time of day and time of year. Then they have to collect their luggage and go through security for a connecting flight, say at least one hour, depending on the same factors. This is a quirk of the US. "Aliens" must collect their luggage when they first land on US soil, even when on a connecting flight. They then have to take that luggage to a designated place for the onward flight. As far as the UK is concerned, the minimum connection time for flights that land in the US is 4 hours. It might take that long to get through immigration and security.
If you are anticipating a two hour connection time, you will need to be able to run fast and have special assistance. I can't do it within two hours at Atlanta and I have wheelchair assistance.

Going by his original post I think EoC is planning a longer stopover, which may coincide with a pen show.
.........we have decided to stop off in the US for a couple or three days.
Any event, pen shows included, are what you make of them.
Yeah, it's a 2-3 day stop, but my wife will be with me and she has no interest in fountain pens.
Ah, another question that I forgot to ask. On the webpage for the SF show this year it does not show the prices of entry, and next year's prices aren't displayed either. Does anyone recall what the rates are please?

Q: Explanation of how List class works I have a question about the List class. From what I understand List is a class deriving from the Collection class. My problem is that when I read examples on the internet, it says for example List < Entry > entries;
I'm having slight difficulties understand what that actually means? Entry is supposed to be another class but I do not understand how it works. I read it as, create list of type Entry and store it in entries, is that correct? Just to clarify my question, what confuses me most is the Entry part of it, if it's another class how does that make the list function? IS it the object created in the class Entry which describes the Type of list it is? An example would be great.
I apologize if I have not been clear enough, any help much appreciated. I'm talking about Java in this particular case.

A: It's called Generics. The Entry is the type argument. List<Entry> means "a list which contains Entry objects".
Worked example:
Entry entry1 = new Entry();
Entry entry2 = new Entry();
Entry entry3 = new Entry();
List<Entry> entryList = new ArrayList<Entry>();

list.add(entry1);
list.add(entry2);
list.add(entry3);

And you cannot do this:
Boat wrongTypeObject = new Boat();
list.add(wrongTypeObject);

because the object wrongTypeObject is not an Entry.
Good article here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generics_in_Java

A: It must be read "List of Entry". It describes what kind of object can go into the list. Read the generics tutorial to learn more.

A: There's no such thing as a generic collection in Java. The list wants to know what you're going to put inside it. For example, List is a list containing Strings. List is a list containing Integers.
You should note that you can't store primitives (ints, floats, doubles, etc.) inside a collection. You must box them. (int -> Integer, float -> Float, double -> Double).

A: An Entry is an object used to store the contents of a Map-derived class, so you may well encounter the occasional List<Entry> objects.  However, a list can hold any kind of object, such as Strings, Integers, or even other Lists:
List<Integer> intList = new ArrayList<Integer>();  //Create a new list of integers
List<String> strList = new ArrayList<String>(); //You can't actually create a List.  Use one of the derived classes like ArrayList instead

strList.add("A string!");  // Now the list has one String in it
strList.add(3);  //You can't do this because strList can only hold Strings

ArrayList< ArrayList<String> > strMatrix = new ArrayList< ArrayList<String> >()

That last line creates a list of lists, which is commonly used to store a 2-D array of objects.
Don't worry too much about Entrys until you need them, and then you can consult the docs to see how to get data out of them.

I needed to work the design into a shaft and determine how to make it strong enough to support weight. This design is typical of a classic Notre Dame cathedral gargoyle. I have arched the overall shape a bit in order to have it fit the hand better, and I omitted the drainage channel that normally would run the length of the carving.
I use mahogany for the handle. Mahogany is strong, but not too hard to carve. Avoid using a softer wood such as basswood for this project, as it may easily snap when in use. Even better would be a much harder wood, such as cherry or maple, but they can be quite difficult to carve. The shaft is swamp maple. I chose swamp maple because I like the bark. You can choose just about any wood you like for the shaft, but be sure it is strong and resistant to dents. It is important that the total diameter where the shaft joins the handle is no more than 1 ½" (38mm), otherwise you will not be able to taper the sleeve to a seamless fit–1 ¼" (32mm) would be preferable. Cut the shaft's overall length longer than you think you will need–you will be able to cut it down when the project is all together later.

This project involved the direct communication and collaboration with the Music Artist & Marketing Manager. An up and coming DJ and electronic music artist desired a selection of merchandise that really communicated what him and his music entails. The merchandise package included large scale posters, flyers, business cards, stickers, and buttons. A full package to assist in furthering exposure into the music industry and to the audience.
