CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The No. 1-ranked women host 3rd-ranked Penn on Saturday and 4th-ranked Princeton on Sunday while the No. 5 men host 9th-ranked Penn and 3rd-ranked Princeton. These matches mark the debut of highly touted players Ali Farag and Amanda Sobhy, both of whom will compete in the first matches of their college careers at Harvard this weekend.
The Harvard Athletic Department has worked closely with the Ivy League to confirm the amateur status of its student-athletes. Both among the top junior players in the world, Farag and Sobhy each participated in numerous prestigious tournaments prior to entering Harvard. Harvard and the Ivy League have reviewed their participation in these events, the prize money awarded, and their expenses to assess any issues regarding their eligibility for collegiate competition under Ivy League rules. Ivy rules permit incoming students to have accepted prize money up to the level of expenses incurred and maintain amateur standing.
Both student-athletes were withheld from competition pending the resolution and validation of the information.
Minor issues with Ivy League rules were identified in the review, and both student-athletes were declared ineligible and reinstated with conditions. While Farag's case required no withholding, Sobhy was required to be withheld from 30% of the teams regular season dates of competition. She has already served that penalty. Both students were required to repay prize money that exceeded expenses in one event.
"We would like to thank Harvard for its cooperation in working with the Ivy League Office to fully address the amateurism issues surrounding Ali's and Amanda's eligibility," said Robin Harris, Executive Director of the Ivy League. "We are confident that this thorough review has demonstrated that they meet Ivy League amateurism standards."
Farag is the No. 1-ranked junior player in the US and 79th in world. A 2010 Junior World champion, Farag spent his freshman season at American University in Cairo, captaining the Egypt Junior squash team to world title in Quito, Ecuador in 2010.
Sobhy is the No. 1-ranked player in the United States and 20th in the world. She won the 2010 Junior World championship, is a four-time U.S. Junior national champion, three-time U.S. Junior Open champion and winner of five WISPA tour titles.

European Rugby
Heineken Cup - Team of the Round

John Afoa Steve Borthwick Tom Court Sean Cronin Stephen Ferris Phil Godman Leigh Halfpenny Alastair Kellock Casey Laulala Julien Malzieu Ruan Pienaar Andrew Trimble Paddy Wallace Pedrie Wannenburg Sam Warburton
The Heineken Cup group stages are almost at a close, but which individual performances caught the eye in another thrilling weekend of action? Here's our Team of the Round to explain all.
15. Leigh Halfpenny (Cardiff Blues)
While England rivals Mike Brown and Ben Foden both bagged tries, it was Halfpenny who put in the performance of the week at fullback, kicking 17 points as the Blues beat London Irish to remain on course for a first quarter-final since 2008-09.
14. Andrew Trimble (Ulster)
The giant winger showed his finishing prowess with two tries in the corner as Leicester were blown away at Ravenhill. Part of a stunning physical effort by Ulster.
13. Casey Laulala (Cardiff Blues)
With limited possession, the former All Black picked the perfect moment to strike against the Exiles, his break shredding the otherwise solid home defence to lay on the only try of the game for team-mate Sam Warburton.
12. Paddy Wallace (Ulster)
One of the province's old-stagers, Wallace brought calm to their efforts and played the role of midfield general to perfection against a classy Tigers pairing.
11. Julien Malzieu (Clermont Auvergne)
The winger's Top 14 form has been electric of late and he translated that on to the European stage with a hat-trick in Clermont's 82-0 demolition of Aironi. Should be in line for an international return with France during the Six Nations.
10. Phil Godman (Edinburgh)
After a hellish injury break, the former Scotland fly-half enjoyed a moment to savour as Edinburgh edged out Racing Metro in Paris on Friday, with his 80th-minute drop-goal sealing a 27-24 win to keep their quarter-final hopes alive.
9. Ruan Pienaar (Ulster)
The Springbok inked a new deal at Ravenhill this week and followed it up with a commanding performance behind a dominant pack. Slotted 21 points from the tee, including conversions to three of his side's tries.
1. Tom Court (Ulster)
The Australian-born prop hasn't always been the most solid set-piece operator, but he turned up in a big way against Leicester. Made strides towards further international recognition with Ireland.
2. Sean Cronin (Leinster)
The irrepressible hooker picked up the Man of the Match award in Leinster's hard-fought win over Glasgow and was a constant threat with ball in hand, as well as offering perfect service at the lineout. Should be there or thereabouts for the Ireland No.2 jersey.
3. John Afoa (Ulster)
There's little doubt that the All Black has added new impetus to Ulster. A tough, abrasive character in the tight and an explosive runner when given half a chance, he was massive against a traditionally dominant Tigers pack.
4. Steve Borthwick (Saracens)
Sarries have a watertight lineout and the former England skipper is at the heart of it. Their reliance on the set-piece is well-known, but when it runs as smoothly as it did against Biarritz, it's hard to argue with it.
5. Al Kellock (Glasgow Warriors)
The giant lock was in fine form, providing plenty of grunt from the engine room as Glasgow ruffled the feathers of the champions. Approaching his best after a mixed bag at the Rugby World Cup.
6. Stephen Ferris (Ulster)
The Ireland flanker took some stopping on Friday night, and plenty of Leicester players will be nursing bruises thanks to the former Lion's unreal work-ethic in defence.
7. Sam Warburton (Cardiff Blues)
The flanker scored his side's only try against London Irish, but it was the Blues' dogged defence and work at the breakdown that kept the Exiles at bay. He was at the forefront in terms of the grimy work on the deck.
8. Pedrie Wannenburg (Ulster)
Another of Ulster's big names to step up against Leicester, Wannenburg passed a late fitness Test before running himself into the ground both in attack and defence.

2. To shock, surprise, astonish, or bewilder one. The end of that trick always throws the audience for a loop. I love watching their faces as they desperately try to figure it out. It really threw Stu for a loop when Olivia announced she was leaving the company.

Vatican City, Oct 3, 2012 / 01:48 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- The judges presiding over the trial of the Pope's former butler heard today that his apartment contained piles of documents and newspaper cuttings about Masonic lodges, the occult and previous scandals involving the Church and state in Italy.
The evidence was presented during the third day of the criminal trial against Paolo Gabriele. The 46-year-old Italian stands accused of the "aggravated theft" of documents, including private papal correspondence. He denies the charge, while saying that he feels guilty of betraying Pope Benedict's trust.
Four police officers who carried out the May 23 search of Gabriele's apartment testified Oct. 3 before a three-judge panel in the Vatican City State's courtroom. Gabriele was arrested shortly after the search was conducted.
The officers described how they had found large piles of papers in wardrobes, cabinets and on shelving at the Gabriele apartment. These documents, they stated, included personal correspondence between Pope Benedict and various cardinals, along with encrypted communications from papal ambassadors around the world.
One of the police officers, Stefano De Santis, told the court how some of the papers were marked in German "to be destroyed," written in the Pope's handwriting. He also asserted that deciphering even one of the encrypted documents could "threaten the operations" of the Holy See's diplomatic corps.
Paolo Gabriele worked in the Papal Household under both Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. He was one of very few individuals who had daily access to the Pope. Within the close-knit family atmosphere of the Papal Apartment, Gabriele was affectionately nicknamed "Paoletto" or "little Paul".
He explained that once the search team discovered documents they believed matched those leaked to Italian journalists, they decided "to take away everything."
In total, 82 crates of documents and other material were removed from Gabriele's apartment and the Pope's summer residence at Castel Gandolfo during the police investigation.
Another officer, Silvano Carli, told the court that in the end only around 1,000 pages of material were deemed relevant to the criminal case.
Paolo Gabriele was present in the courtroom throughout the 75-minute evidence session. It was revealed that he chose to stay in his private apartment during the police search in May, along with his wife and three children.
His defense lawyer, Cristiana Arru, questioned the search methods employed, including why none of the police officers wore gloves while handling the potentially sensitive documents. The officers said this conformed to standard practice.
The trial was adjourned until Saturday when both sides will give their final speeches. It is also thought that a verdict could be delivered on the same day. If Gabriele is found guilty, a prison sentence of up to four years in an Italian jail awaits him.

Christopher Kritzman necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
2 ganadores han sido elegidos entre 48 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
Chance Partners, LLC (or just "Chance Partners")
Chance Partners is a small, start-up real estate development company focused on the design, build and management of off-campus (private) student housing communities.
Unlike most student housing developers, Chance Partners focuses on infill development -- that is, building student housing adjacent to campus. And these houses typically have between 12-15 beds in each.
The name Chance Partners has a lot of sentimental value for the company's President and we acknowledge that "chance" isn't a great word to be using in today's economic climate; however, we have already developed 6 buildings and 60 beds in Tallahassee, Florida (FSU) and will be delivering 120-150 more beds this coming year -- so we're getting by so far, in spite of ourselves and our name. :-)
Target audience includes:
*Students who will see our logo on signage and property leasing materials.
*Corporate lenders and investors who provide funding for our developments.
(These two groups are most important - perhaps with the corporate lenders being more important than the students. Students are more focused on the product vs. the name and the lenders are more focused on feeling like the company is solid and worth investing in).
*Parents of the students that will be leasing rooms/beds in our developments.
Requirements include:
* Company name: "Chance Partners". Do not include "LLC" in name/logo design.
* Corporate mark to support name.
* Color version that can be adapted to B&W.
A few notes on our competitors, so you can see their logo designs:
* Landmark Properties (http://www.landmark-properties.com)
* Dovetail Companies
* Campus Crest
* American Campus Communities
* Aspen Heights
* Asset Campus Housing

World class buffoon Lord Christopher Monckton was thrown out of a UN climate conference being held in Qatar after he dressed up as a sheikh and pretended to be a delegate from Burma so he could speak and deny that global warming exists in front of the assembly.
The former deputy leader of Ukip, Lord Monckton, has been ejected from the Doha climate change talks and permanently banned after impersonating a delegate from Burma on the conference floor.At one of the sessions, Monckton assumed the seat for Burma in place of the real delegate, and addressed the hall from his microphone. He spoke for nearly a minute, before being escorted out.
He was ejected from the conference centre, had his badge revoked, and is thought to have left the country. The UN later confirmed he had been permanently barred from future rounds of the talks.
Here's a video with Monckton in his costume, appropriately set to Benny Hill's theme music.

Croatia: Part II
Back to Dalmatia
After Dubrovnik, which is in Southern Croatia, we took three days to travel up the
entire coast to the Northern tip of Croatia. As is often the case with these things some of our best discoveries were the unexpected towns we stumbled across as opposed to the larger ones the guidebooks raved about. As you drive north of Dubrovnik the landscape varies between green woodland pockets studded with piercing blue lakes and a scenic ocean drive.
The Writer sent me on somewhat of a wild goose chase with tales of a pumpkin oil to which his Croatian ex-girlfriend had introduced him. He was adamant it wasn't like olive oil or walnut oil or any other oil I named. My curiosity was sufficiently aroused; I had to buy some. I was sure I spotted bottles of it at the produce stalls dotted along the roadside but The Writer insisted that pumpkin oil was nearly black and the substance on sale was far too pale.
I put thoughts of pumpkin oil aside as we made out first stop on the Makarska Riviera. The Riviera is a collection of idyllic seaside resort towns with Makarska being the largest. With its stone paved esplanade, historic town square and monastery with a backdrop of mountain ranges, it is a lovely place to spend a day.
We made a brief stop there before detouring into Bosnia Herzegovina and again after departing Dubrovnik for a quick sunset swim. There are few tourists to be seen on the beaches in Makarska. After a blisteringly hot day it was absolutely heavenly taking a dip in the cool waters and looking back at the twinkling lights from the town at sunset.
The Gulf of Kvarner
Once more we found ourselves in Split before travelling north through the Gulf of Kvarner. The thermometer drops drastically as you head north and the terrain is far hillier. We wound our way through green valleys, thick forests and coastal roads lashed with strong winds. The landscape is somehow more rugged than Dalmatia. Delightfully many of the smaller towns we stopped in looked like they hadn't seen a tourist in years. In a country so reliant on tourism it was wonderful visiting areas that had no such dependence.
At the upper end of the Gulf of Kvarner is Opatija which, in contrast, has a strong history of tourism. Also known as the Adriatic Nice, Opatija was once the playground of the Hapsburg elite seeking a coastal retreat. The grand Hapsburg hotels still line the seaside promenade. These grand wedding cake like structures are now filled with German and Swedish tourists. As a result there is no shortage of German pastries featured in the hotel patisseries and restaurants. Many of the establishments' interiors and menus seemed in desperate need of a revamp but it almost adds to the charm of this area. The coastal town of Opatija was our gateway to our final destination, the Istrian region.
Dalmatia and Istria could easily be too different countries. The food, landscape, climate and culture are worlds apart. The pace in Istria is somehow slower than Dalmatia. It is the sort of place where you could spend days visiting quaint fishing villages and evenings feasting on local produce. Istria, particularly the coastal towns of Rovinj and Porec have a strong Venetian influence. In two hours you can find yourself in Venice during the summer months when a ferry service operates. Slovenia and Italy are also within easy driving distance.
Istrian cuisine has a strong focus on local produce. Allegedly even McDonald's has to ensure 80% of its ingredients come from the region. The pride in local produce is unsurprising given the area is famous for its potent white truffles featured on almost every restaurant menu. This delicacy is paired with meat, seafood and pasta and so reasonably priced you could almost forget they are an indulgence. Also worth sampling is Istrian sausage, which seemed to be a wonderful medley of Italian and Croatian influences.
Our final stop was historic Pula. Unsurprisingly the highlight of this 3000 year old city is the old town. Also worth visiting is the Roman amphitheatre but the area directly surrounding it is undeveloped and offers little for the curious tourist to explore besides this majestic monument. The old town, however, offers an array of restaurants and shops featuring regional crafts and produce. I was sure this was the place I would secure the prized pumpkin oil that a few days of anticipation made me want to sample even more. I darted into grocery stores and delicatessens but with my severe shortage of Serbo-Croatian vocabulary, I left a trail of puzzled shopkeepers. I'm quite sure some of my hand gestures to symbolise pumpkin left a few deeply troubled. Finally one restaurateur was kind enough to give me the Serbo-Croatian name but sadly he also told me this regional specialty came from the inland villages. With a flight out of Croatia the next day it seemed I wouldn't be tasting it this time. At least I had a reason to return and explore more of this country, not that I needed one.

Such an excellent post Truffle! You need to get a job working in tourism marketing.
I've given you a couple of well deserved awards, the gongs are on my blog.

I've often heard the Dalmatian coast is the loveliest in the world... your photos certainly make that seem true!
We've only been in Istria.... time to do some more traveling.
What a great trip you had...too bad about the pumpkin oil - although the idea of cooking with black oil....
- 6 August 2007 at 12:21 pm
- Truffle said...
Amanda- thank you so very much! That's very kind of you.
Katiez- It is stunning although I loved Istria too. I was surprised at how different they were when they are only a few hours apart. It was a pity about the oil although he tells me he only used it in salad dressings. Some googling when home uncovered it doesn't have the properties required for cooking which may be a good thing. I like my food without a black tinge!

Such charm, such beauty. Remember you are having this vacation for both of us :)

more great stories and photos - I love your search of pumpkin oil - sounds like an intriguing local delicacy!
- 6 August 2007 at 8:47 pm

Cynthia- it's been really love sharing it so thank you for following along :)
Johanna- A bit more googling has revealed there is now a producer in Australia so oddly enough I'll probably finally get to taste it now I'm back home!

Sigh. We almost went to Croatia a couple of years ago but then ended up in Kefalonia instead. It was wonderful but your post reminded me why I was so keen to visit Croatia in the first place!
Great photos.

Truffle. You saved the best photos 'til last. Stunning.
A beautifully written piece. Thought of a career in travel writing?

I love the photos Truffle. The colours on your camera are all very vibrant, especially the sky, which literally glows. What camera are you using? Did you tweak the photos at all in Photoshop?
- 8 August 2007 at 2:25 am
- Truffle said...
Wendy- definitely go next time you get the chance. I'm sure you'll love it!
Thanks Lucy- that's very sweet. Wouldn't that be a fantastic job? A girl can always dream... :)
Thanh- I was actually lamenting the fact I couldn't capture just how vibrant the sea and sky were. I was just using a cheap camera I snapped up from duty free. No photoshop editting so am delighted you liked the colours!

Your photos skillfully captured all the nooks and crannies of waterside towns tucked against cliffs. Those glittering lights at twilight and luxuriously prepared meals would make it almost impossible for me to leave.

- Truffle said...
Susan- thanks so much! It's a stunning country and terribly romantic. I think we went at the right time though because it's lately turned unbearably warm. I'm glad you enjoyed :)

I am enjoying browsing your blog. You have some very innovative and creative dishes. Croatia is one of the destinatins next on my list. I would love to hike through the Plitvice Lake region. They even have a cooking school there which is usually part of my criteria for travelling. The benefit is two fold ; you are able to sightsee,learn a few exciting dishes, and immerse yourself in the culture with the locals.
- 12 August 2007 at 5:15 am

Valli- that sounds amazing. What a fabulous holiday that would be! I really hope you go :)

Minnesota Orchestra extends Litton's Sommerfest contract
by Euan Kerr, Minnesota Public Radio
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Andrew Litton will remain the artistic director of the Minnesota Orchestra's popular Sommerfest program through at least 2014.
The orchestra today announced an extension of Litton's contract. President Michael Henson described Litton as an invaluable part of the creative team.
Litton has led the popular summer music series since 2003, when he was brought in to breathe new vigor into the program. He loves the challenge of playing the broad range of music which is the hallmark of a Sommerfest season with what he considers one of the best orchestras in the world.
"We are constantly looking at different repertoire, new repertoire, exciting things for our audiences, because I always maintain the joy of Sommerfest is watching people leave with smiles on their faces," Litton said.
"It's really been a lot of fun to return Sommerfest to the kind of crazy, zany excitement that existed in its beginnings," Litton said.
At the completion of the new contract Litton will become the longest-serving Sommerfest artistic director.
This year's festival wraps up Saturday. Renovations on Orchestra Hall required a temporary move to the Ted Mann Hall on the University of Minnesota campus.

The Muhlenberg football team scored 21 points in the third quarter and went on to defeat Juniata, 35-14, for its second straight win.
Quarterback Dan Deighan rushed for 105 yards on only 11 carries and also threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns for the Mules (5-2, 4-2). Terrence Dandridge scored a pair of touchdowns on the ground, and Kevin Van Laar rushed for a career-high 71 yards and a score.
Ward Udinski threw for 209 yards and scored both of Juniata's touchdowns on 1-yard sneaks. They were the first offensive scores for the Eagles (1-6, 0-6) against the Mules since they joined the Centennial Conference in 2007.
Dandridge's first touchdown, on a dive over the pile from the 1-yard line, capped a 59-yard drive and gave Muhlenberg a 7-0 lead with 5:32 left in the first quarter. Muhlenberg doubled its lead late in the half when Deighan hit Isaiah Vaughn in the back of the end zone from 31 yards out on third-and-17.
Juniata took advantage of a shanked punt that gave it possession inside the 50 to score its first touchdown with 24 seconds left in the half. Domonic Bornman caught passes of 11 yards on third-and-4 and 13 yards to the 1 on the drive.
Muhlenberg punted in its first third-quarter possession but scored on the next three. Deighan's apparent 47-yard touchdown run was negated by an illegal block penalty at the 5, but the Mules scored anyway on Van Laar's 1-yard run four plays later to make it 21-7.
Tim Vogel's 52-yard interception return set up the second score of the quarter, a 5-yard run by Dandridge, and Deighan's 5-yard touchdown pass to John Merklinger followed a Matt Johnson pick.
Johnson and Kory Crichton each recorded eight tackles for a defense that held Juniata to 46 rushing yards.
Julian Valdiserri caught eight passes for 99 yards for Juniata.

ATHENS, GREECE -- The Greek market is surging like crazy today.
The benchmark Athens Index is currently up 8.5%.
What's going on?
According to Greek stock market participants, there are "secret polls" that show the pro-bailout New Democracy party is leading and likely to win this Sunday's election.
Technically, polling is banned for the two weeks prior to the election, but the parties and so forth are still keeping tabs on the mood of the electorate, and these polls can get out.
Furthermore, Greek betting sites have shown also a spike in bets placed on New Democracy, and this too is seen as evidence of a shift.
So traders like the stability of the pro-bailout, conservative New Democracy party over the chaos of the left-wing SYRIZA party, and thus at least right now are speculating that the status quo wll remain.

The Cokin X-Pro-Series 154 Neutral Density Filter is a solid neutral grey filter providing an exposure reduction of about 3 stops. This 0.9 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.
Cokin filters are constructed from CR-39 organic glass and are notably light in weight, have a high resistance to shocks and drops, and provide optimum light transmission for high image quality. This filter measures 5.1 x 6.7" / 130 x 170mm and is compatible with the Cokin X-Pro filter holder.

After watching "The Wolf of Wall Street," the thought of investing through a financial middleman may seem as appealing as diving into the ocean right after seeing "Jaws."
The movie shows an extreme example of brokers gone wild. In doing so, it reveals one reason why low-cost exchange-traded funds are one of the fastest-growing areas of the financial industry. Investors have been using ETFs more and more as a way to bypass as many middlemen as possible, so they can keep more money for themselves.
While the film shows stockbrokers pitching penny stocks, there are many other ways the financial industry bites and nibbles at retail investors' money. A major example is the $13 trillion mutual fund industry. When a broker sells a mutual fund, they get a cut, albeit one that's far smaller than what the brokers in the movie got for their sales. Mutual funds may also feed Wall Street through commissions by turning over fund portfolios at a rapid rate. Those fees are an additional cost on top of the expense ratio and any loads levied.
So what is the cheapest possible way to invest in the market and eliminate as many middleman fees as possible? Below is a very basic portfolio of dirt-cheap ETFs with no loads and minimal turnover that can be bought commission-free from certain online brokerages. With these products you get to keep nearly every dollar of your investment.
The Mini-Portfolio
For U.S. stock exposure, the Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF (SCHB) tracks 2,000 large-, mid- and small-cap stocks for a fee of 0.04 percent. It's literally the cheapest fund since mutual funds were invented in the 1920s, and can be traded commission-free on Schwab's web site.
For U.S. bond exposure, there's the iShares Core Total U.S. Bond Market ETF (AGG). It tracks 2,000 investment-grade government and corporate bonds and has an expense ratio of 0.08 percent. The ETF has a yield of 2% and carries some interest rate risk, since the fund's duration—which basically shows how sensitive a fund's portfolio is to changes in interest rates—is five years. It can be traded commission-free on Fidelity Investments' platform.
For International stock exposure, there's the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund (VXUS). It tracks 5,500 international stocks, has a .18 percent expense ratio and tracks stocks in 44 countries, in both developed and emerging markets, in Europe, Asia, South America, Africa and Canada. Basically you get exposure to every country with a significant stock market outside of the U.S. Users of online trading platforms at Vanguard Group Inc. and TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. can trade it commission-free.
If you invest $10,000 in such a mini-portfolio, you get exposure to nearly 10,000 stocks and bonds for a blended fee of $10 per year (in many cities, that's cheaper than paying to see "The Wolf of Wall Street"). These ETFs produced a blended return of 81 percent over the last 10 years, compared to 100 percent for the S&P 500. The bond ETF is a slight drag on overall performance, but that's the price of balance. During the financial crisis of 2008, AGG was up 6% while the S&P 500 was down 36%.
If you're intrigued by this mini-portfolio, an Index Universe article, "How to Build the Cheapest ETF Portfolio," takes it a step further. It provides investors with the cheapest commission-free mini-portfolios to be found on the online trading platforms of Fidelity Investments, TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. and ETrade Financial Corp.
If you want financial advice with your cheap ETFs, you can always use a fee-based adviser. An example of a progressive, ETF-only adviser is Wealthfront in Palo Alto, California. It will manage your first $10,000 for free; after that, it charges 0.25 percent. Their average portfolio has an expense ratio of 0.17 percent. Add it together and you'd pay 0.42% for a balanced portfolio and investment advice.
Other ETF-friendly advisers include The ETF Store, Portfolio Solutions, Penn Financial Group, Global Trends Investment and Pacific Park Financial. Shops like these are the polar opposite of Jordan Belfort's rapacious Stratton Oakmont.

I love Kerri & Stacy's and Dave & Cherie's
Elliot and Andrew got the **** intro theme this season.
The little snippet of their team. Can you see the Intro vid?
some of us were speculating that the cricket scene was taken in India, but still not sure which part of Kerala province does that one match...
The clip of Keri and Stacy , where it look's like they're doing a dance or a cheer or something , can someone refresh my memory , have we seen them do this yet ? Was that from the first episode ?
Has anybody gone through and tried to see if there was any new location clues in the new intro video? There's a train early on that might be identifiable and between Kerri and Stacy and Ralph and Vanessa there's a Buddha like statue. Also towards the end there's a woman carrying a bundle of leaves on her back. It looks a tropical location. I suppose all three could be from Kerala, but I'm not sure if the statue fits there.As for the quick flashes of scenes at the end of the video, I couldn't stop the video fast enough to tell much.

An original painting of White-tailed Hawk by David Sibley
in gouache on Bristol Board.
Painted in 1994-1999, revised 2013.
Published in the Sibley Guide to Birds.
About 14.5 by 23.5 inches.
About the Sibley Guides Artwork
These paintings were originally created between 1994 and 1999 for the "Sibley Guide to Birds" (2000). A few images were used in "Sibley's Birding Basics" and the "Sibley Guide to Bird Life and Behavior". The same artwork was used in the "Sibley Field Guides to Eastern Birds" and to "Western Birds", published in 2003, and is used in the Sibley Birds app.
Between 2012 and 2013, most of the artwork was touched up, and some received major revisions, for the second edition of the "Sibley Guide to Birds" published in 2014, and the second editions of the Eastern and Western guides, published in 2016.
The medium is gouache on Bristol Board. These are archival materials and should last hundreds of years with proper care. Each original painting is about 14 inches wide and 22 inches high.
On each plate you will see small penciled numbers next to each image. These were added by the publisher in 2013 to aid in identifying each image after scanning, and they are easily erased.
A small set of paintings has been selected and is being offered for sale now. Most others are currently not available, but if you have an interest in a particular species feel free to inquire. I anticipate offering more original sheets in the coming years.
