Art Surpassing Nature:Dutch Landscapes in the Age of Rembrandt and Ruisdael29 October 2012 – 20 January 2013Admission free.
An exhibition devoted to the National Gallery of Ireland's collection of Dutch seventeenth-century landscapes will open in the Beit Wing on Monday 29 October 2012.
Art Surpassing Nature brings together some 30 works from the Gallery's outstanding collection of Dutch landscape paintings and drawings, comprising iconic pieces by Jacob van Ruisdael (The Castle of Bentheim, 1653), Meindert Hobbema (A Wooded Landscape, 1663), Hendrick Avercamp (Scene on the Ice, c.1620), and Rembrandt van Rijn (Landscape with the Rest on the Flight into Egypt, 1647).
Dutch artists were the first to paint naturalistic images of their own countryside. They did not create their works outside on an easel, however. As paints needed to be prepared in the studio, artists produced their landscapes indoors with the help of sketches. They also made use of their imagination to improve on nature. Jacob van Ruisdael, for example, exaggerated the elevation of the hill in The Castle of Bentheim, to make the fortress look more impressive than it is in reality.
Dr. Adriaan Waiboer, curator of the exhibition, says: "Dutch landscapes are notable for their variety. In addition to views of Holland's green pastures, winter scenes enjoyed considerable popularity. Such paintings allowed artists, such as Hendrick Avercamp, to depict ice skaters having fun. Some painters represented landscapes by night, as exemplified by Rembrandt's nocturnal masterpiece in the collection, which is one of just nine known painted landscapes by the artist."

Among its varied holdings, the National Gallery of Ireland (NGI) has an exceptionally strong collection of Dutch paintings from the seventeenth century. The total number of paintings is just over 200 works and all of Holland's major masters are represented: Rembrandt van Rijn, Jacob van Ruisdael, Meindert Hobbema, Jan van Goyen and Hendrick Avercamp. The bulk of the Gallery's Dutch collection was acquired during the period 1860-1915 by the early Directors of the NGI, George Mulvany, Henry Doyle, and Walter Armstrong, all of whom had a strong predilection for masters from the Low Countries. Most of the Dutch pictures that entered the collection during the twentieth century were isolated donations and bequests. In 1901, Sir Henry Page Turner Barron left most of his collection to the Gallery. His bequest was the largest gift of Dutch works ever given to the NGI and included pictures by Jan-Baptist Weenix, Melchior d'Hondecoeter, Willem Heda, Nicolaes Berchem and Soloman van Ruysdael. The most important gift in recent years was that of Sir Alfred and Lady Beit in 1987. That donation included the Vermeer, the two Metsus, the Ruisdael, as well as Meindert Hobbema's Wooded Landscape and Jan Steen's Wedding at Cana. In recent years, the NGI has made a number of noteworthy purchases of Dutch paintings, including two works by Gerrit van Honthorst and Aelbert Cuyp respectively, which belonged to well-known Irish collections in the eighteenth century.

I'm having a lot of fun at SIGGRAPH. I've wanted to go to this conference ever since I first heard about it years ago. It's lots of fun, 'though I havn't had time to breathe. I got some pictures so far, 'though I don't yet have captions on them.
I'm looking forward to some down time this weekend.

- Description
Often during the summer Big Creek at this location will dry up and only mudcracks will mark its channel, but last night we had some good thunderstorms, so the creek is alive an well today. Big Creek is a meandering creek on the Great Plains of western Kansas. Historic Fort Hays was establised just a mile or so downstream in 1865 and operated until 1889. In 1902, Fort Hays State University was established in the floodplain of Big Creek at this location. In May 1951, a spring deluge caused Big Creek to flood a wide area around campus and downtown Hays. Subsequently, the course of Big Creek was relocated and a large levee was constructed between the new course of the creek and the campus and downtown region. The pictured stretch of creek is just at the beginning of the diversionary stretch, thus was significantly disturbed within the last 60 years. At least four fish jumped while I was shooting the GigaPan; none, of course, were captured in the image. -- Ron Schott

If you wear Prada handbags, Swatch watches, and necklaces from Tiffany, you might also consider buying the companies' shares. A recent Credit Suisse research note on desirable brands, rates seven such luxury stocks as "Outperform" based on improving fundamentals and emerging consumer trends globally. Three, in particular, have significant upside in the coming 12-months.
A survey conducted by the bank's research institute, in association with AC Nielsen, interviewed 16,000 consumers across nine emerging market countries, the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) along with Indonesia, Mexico, South Africa, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. It found 50% of consumers planned to purchase Western brands over the next 12 months. The research noted that Prada's handbags were particularly desired by Russians while Rolex and Omega watches are a hot commodity in China.
So how do you profit on these findings? Among Credit Suisse's picks: In Europe, the Swiss bank likes luxury conglomerate Compagnie Financiere Richemont (ticker: CFR.Switzerland) and watchmaker Swatch (UHR.Switzerland). Analysts also like the jeweler Tiffany (TIF) in the U.S. The one Asian company that made the cut, Chow Tai Fook (1929.Hong Kong), is another jewelry retailer. All of these stocks are plays on the rising tide of wealth in emerging markets, but the picks may take a bit longer to play out based on Credit Suisse's 12-month target prices. Three other stock selections by Credit Suisse appear to be good plays in the near term.
Though the German-based sports apparel maker is not your standard symbol of affluence, Credit Suisse's first stock pick is Adidas (ADS.Germany). Analyst Rogerio Fujimori expects the firm to boost sales by 9% in the fourth quarter of 2014, helped by next year's World Cup in Brazil. He cites the wide gap in valuation to Nike, 26 times this year's consensus estimate versus 21 for Adidas. That gap is expected to close as Adidas' margin expansion potential is realized and as dividends are boosted, to a 40% payout ratio versus 35% in 2012. The current yield is 1.6%. In the long-term, Rogerio likes its credentials in sports performance, sports lifestyle, which is "winning in China," and its emerging market exposure, at 45% of sales. His target price is €97, implying a 15% upside.
Ralph Lauren (RL) is another stock that could pop by 15% in the coming 12-months, according to Credit Suisse's Christian Buss. Buss expects the U.S. clothier to continue its penetration of European and Asia-Pacific markets, matching other premium apparel brands. The result will be high single digit revenue growth, and, in the longer-term, margin expansion towards 20%, versus 16.6% now. Buss writes, this growth would warrant an earnings multiple comparable to its premium apparel peers of 19-20 times forward P/E, versus 17 times the current consensus. "With [Ralph Lauren's] brand repositioning well underway in China, we expect 2014 to prove an inflection point for emerging market demand," writes Buss.
Lastly, Prada (1913.Hong Kong) is Credit Suisse's top pick. With a 12-month price target of HK$82.00, the stock would be 35% higher than its recent price of HK$60.30. Analyst Karim Salamatian writes that Prada's revenue growth will continue to be driven by its well-entrenched market position in BRIC countries, relative to its peers. Prada's potential for growth is underappreciated, he says, so buying now should prove profitable. Salamatian writes:
"Acquiring Prada under HK$70 should prove prescient, opportunistic and rewarding because Prada has (1) the lowest 2014E PEG [P/E growth] multiple of all global luxury stocks; (2) the highest forecast sales and EPS growth for 2014; (3) a superior earnings revision trend to its peers; and (4) is expected to post positive same-store sales growth in 4QFY14."
Translation: The stock's upside could buy you or your loved one that Prada bag you've been eyeing.

After seeing some good photos of the upcoming 12" Electronic Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jango Fett, I've come to a conclusion of my thoughts. Unimpressed. The Obi-Wan really set me off because it doesn't look at all like Ewan McGregor. Heck, it doesn't even look like Obi-Wan. Jango and Obi look cheap. Of course I'm sure they'll retail at $19.99. I don't know, maybe I'll have to see them on the shelf 1st. But for now I'll pass.
Any thoughts?
*See I was never wild about the 12" Electronic Qui-Gon or Darth Maul either.

Unlike the Jamboree experience, which yielded a count down to the event (which everyone seemed to love), putting together a great Troop, heading out to the East Coast for tours and a fantastic week of the greatest single Scouting event I have been to, and memories for a life time. Wood badge has now become a big(ger) part of my life. Not to fill a void or find more to do, but since I have been asked to participate on staff and ever since we began our staff development sessions I have learned a couple huge things about Wood Badge and Scouting.
Wood Badge is not just a course. It is a community. I went to Wood Badge in 2005. A proud member of the Beaver Patrol WE1-492-1-05. It was the first time in my Adult Scouting life that I had really stepped outside of the friendly confines of my District. Yeah, when I was a Cubbie leader, I attended Pow Wow and had gone to resident camp with the Scouts in the Dens and Pack, but Wood Badge was different. It was bigger in a sense. I met Scouters from every district, every program area, and many differing skill levels and various levels of leadership. The Beaver patrol had a Scoutmaster, an Assistant Scoutmaster, a Sea Scout Skipper, a Committee Chair, a Cubmaster, and Committee member in it. About as diverse a group as you can get. We gelled immediately and had a great time. Many of the staffers of our course became good friends too.
After we finished our course and were eventually "beaded" it seemed that the patrol kept in contact and at many council, OA, and community events we seemed to bump into one another, always with laughter and the shared memories of our time together. Jamboree became a gathering place for Wood Badgers also and the community grew for me. Conversations would take us back to Gilwell and the time we had even if we were all courses apart and representative of all the critters that grace Gilwell Field.
Now I am a Staffer and the community continues to grow. Friendships are rekindled and made, experiences are shared, and as our staff becomes a high performance team I am humbled by the group the I find myself a part of.
In 2010 I was awarded the Silver Beaver, an honor I am still not sure I should have, but none the less, becoming a Silver Beaver recipient launched me into another level of my Scouting life. Now I am not equating the Silver Beaver to higher honors here, but I was recently watching the HBO series "The Pacific". There is a scene in the movie were SGT John Basilone is being counseled by LTC "Chesty" Puller about his notification of being awarded the Medal of Honor. Stay with me here.. I know that the Silver Beaver is NOT the Medal of Honor.. my point is coming up here real quick. John Basilone was know to be quite the partier and had a knack for not so much getting into trouble.. but making it. After a night of partying, Chesty Puller notified SGT Basilone that he was being awarded the Medal of Honor, an Honor that put him in the company of very few Marines, an honor that would change his life for ever. Chesty Puller told him that he needed to start acting like it. And that is my point.. with the honor of being selected, awarded, or recognized to be a part of such company brings with it some responsibility.. and that is to say, we need to act as if we are worthy of such an honor. Whether that is an act of heroism that is recognized or dedicated service, the recipient should then continue to demonstrate those values that got him there. Now this may seem a stretch, but this is my blog and in my mind, well this all works out. What I am trying to say is this. When I wear my uniform I have a knot on it that is generally recognized by Scouters as the highest award presented by a Council. That little knot is symbolic of dedicated service.
When I wear my Wood Badge Beads they too are symbols of dedicated service and a willingness to go beyond "regular training" in order to make Scouting better for the youth we serve.
This community enriches my life by association. The friends that I have through Wood Badge are some of the best people I know. We were talking the other about the experience that is in the room when Wood Badgers gather. It only takes a glance to notice all of the Silver Beaver recipients that gather for Wood Badge functions, this tells me that I am in great company. This group is, and none will admit it publicly, a higher level of Scouting. Not all have a Silver beaver around their neck, but they will. They will because of the dedication they put into Scouting. I am in awe of the dedicated service we as a group have. 100's of years of collective Scouting. Everything from Tiger leaders to Council committee folks. Thousands of nights camping, skills taught, and miles backpacked. They arrive at training sessions with their "Scout kits". Crates, boxes, too many binders to count. Trinkets, critters, and bags upon bags of Scouting "Stuff". They are never shy to help, to serve, to grab your plate after meals.. and you have to fight them out of the kitchen when it comes time to do dishes. None are shy with a gift and piece of advice. They are great family people and they are the person that you want to have on speed dial at 2 AM when you need a hand. They don't know how to say farewell and just build the time in the parking lot into the meeting plan. In short, these are my kind of people. A fantastic community.
I suppose I have known this for some time, but then when I was invited to be on staff I finally got it.
I look forward to receiving my third bead next month.. another symbol of dedicated service to let others know that I am not ashamed to be a servant.
Expand your community.. go to Wood Badge, its never too late. Serve on a Staff.. you are needed.
By the way. Learn more about John Basilone. He is a real hero and his story should be remembered. I provided that link above to see a quick video. It never hurts to learn about guys like that. Another member of the greatest generation, to whom we owe a great deal.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Seaside Excursion: Sara Beltran's Maldives
MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT HONG KONG It's a city with extraordinary variety—an urban metropolis that also has hiking trails and beaches. Shops range from tiny, family-owned antiques spots on Hollywood Road that have been there for years to new megamalls.
BEST TIME TO VISIT In May, for the annual art fair, which is now Art Basel Hong Kong. It's an amazing week with a huge opening night, fascinating talks, and parties.
FAVORITE ACTIVITIES Looking for silks in the Western Market, beads in Hung Hom, leather in Sham Shui Po, and meeting family-owned hardware companies in Mong Kok.
FOOD & DRINK Lunch at the Kee Club is a dim-sum heaven. Heirloom does delicious coffee, and feels like a slice of New York in central Hong Kong.
SHOPPING The best way to go is bespoke. Tailoring in Hong Kong is second to none—and quick! Soong's Salon de Mode, in Kowloon, cuts the best clothing. Head to Elsa at K.S. Sze & Sons in the Mandarin Oriental to make your jewelry dreams come true, or Mayer next door for custom-made leather shoes and bags.
RELAXATION Hong Kong is full of lovely reflexology places. For the ultimate lazy afternoon, a foot massage and a movie at Ten Feet Tall, on Queen's Road in Central, is a great weekend combination.
EXCURSION I love going out to Shek O beach. Somehow those big waves and beaches feel unexpected here, and the views are breathtaking.
HOTEL For a slice of old-school Hong Kong, the Mandarin Oriental is a must. Excellent restaurants, bars, and the best service in the world.
You can't beat the views from Café Gray at the top of the Upper House hotel or Sevva in the Prince's Building for a glass of rosé on a warm evening.

During my various on and off forays into online dating I've encountered some real gems….
I think its good to have a bit of texting banter before you meet……it can give you a really good insight as to how a person ticks. And the more you text, the more you can find out whether a person is being themselves and spot when weird behaviours start surfacing.
If you're anything like me and is prone to a few vinos of an evening, texting virtual strangers isn't really a good idea…..not only are your boundaries non existent but any oddities in the other persons character seem perfectly normal at the time and you end getting a teeny bit carried away with the banter and then in the cold light of sober day you think, fark what have I been saying?!
I was receiving regular emails one day from a particular chap who was very friendly, VERY keen from the get go, but also very cute. We swapped numbers and all of a sudden I'm being bombarded with texts that evening. The banter was flowing and I vaguely remember agreeing to meet up for lunch the following day. The straw that broke the camels back for me was receiving a text from him the following morning at 5.45am. The buzzing noise of my phone jolted me out of my hungover slumber and my bleary eyes read 'good morning gorgeous girl! just on my way to work xxxxx'.
Fan-effing-tastic. That was certainly worth being woken up for at some ungodly hour! Seriously I wasn't interested if he was going to work, and certainly not at 5.45am! I'm not a morning person, and especially a morning person with a twinge of hangover. Not impressed. I didn't respond to the message and then all throughout the morning was receiving a blow by blow commentary of his meetings, getting coffee, what 'we' were going to do over the weekend and in the future……we hadn't met up for the lunch date by this stage! Fark, this guy was full on. I felt like I had been fastforwarded to girlfriend status in less than 24 hours! Now I'm all for someone showing interest but this was way too over the top.
I'm generally prone to bolting when someone acts like this, get the jogging shoes on and run as fast as Forrest Gump…..
Thankfully that day it was pouring with rain and I used that excuse to cancel our lunch date…….
As Milli Vanilli would say 'Blame it on the Rain'………
After about a week of no response to his messages, he got the hint.
Have you ever had someone text their way out of a first date by being overzealous or just downright weird?! We wanna hear all about it!

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Mississippi State and Ole Miss hope the road will be a kind place this weekend.
Both teams are looking to bounce back from series losses, with the No. 25-ranked Bulldogs (22-6, 2-4 SEC) visiting No. 15 Arkansas (19-7, 4-2) and the No. 11 Ole Miss (22-4, 3-3) traveling to Florida (11-14, 2-4).
Ole Miss plays at 6 p.m.; MSU's game starts at 6:30 p.m.
MSU lost two of three at Kentucky last weekend, with both losses coming by one run as State couldn't produce timely hits. Players hope to resolve that issue this weekend.
"We've just got to keep battling at the plate, and as coach says, use our identity and keep what we can do and keep hitting line drives and ground balls," outfielder Hunter Renfroe said.
'Ready to play'
After winning two of three at Arkansas two weeks ago, Ole Miss lost two of three at home to Texas A&M last weekend.
The Rebels are taking on a Florida team that's lost seven of its last 10 games.
"You obviously want to win the first (home) series on an SEC weekend. Confidence-wise I don't think it affected us," Ole Miss sophomore pitcher Chris Ellis said. "Baseball is a game of failure. I think we'll be ready to play this weekend."
Florida will visit Starkville next weekend, while Vanderbilt – which is ranked No. 3 this week – will visit Oxford.
