<p>OK guys, this one is the real deal :slight_smile: Please don’t post any useless crap in this one, the other one is reserved for that!</p>

<p>I though I would post one remark before I give the format, GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!! :slight_smile: I know how much you guys love Penn, and how much the deferred ED’ers especially love it (myself included!), and thus I really do wish you all the absolute best of luck. This community will forever be with me ;)</p>

<p>BTW, here is a nice little video bernardolw sent me to post in this thread, hope you guys enjoy it :slight_smile: <a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASisLT5XHtg[/url]”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASisLT5XHtg</a></p>
