text: 'Bear' at Bear's Den gives it one more year By Sandy Wells October 14, 2012 Story Share Chip Ellis Yes, there really is a bear at the Bear's Den. That's David E. "Bear" Reynolds, beloved proprietor of the restaurant and bar in the basement of the old Daniel Boone Hotel. He bought the place 10 years ago and plans to hang on for one more year. Chip Ellis "It's like a football player. ... Chip Ellis ... You play as long as you can, ... Chip Ellis ... then it's time to go." Chip Ellis In the kitchen at the Bear's Den, owner and cook "Bear" Reynolds serves up one of his huge sandwiches for a customer to take home. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- On the business cards, he's David E. Reynolds. But absolutely everyone calls him "Bear." He's a large, lumbering man, but there's nothing bearish or gruff about him. He's soft-spoken and big-hearted, low-key, a little bashful. The kind of bear you want to hug.Regulars love him at the Bear's Den, his cozy bar and restaurant in the basement of the old Daniel Boone Hotel, now 405 Capitol St.Most of the time, he's back in the kitchen cooking, enjoying the vocation chosen for him by his grandfather who was a chef at the old hotel. He learned to cook 50 years ago, as a teenager.At lunchtime, people crowd the place to slurp his celebrated soups, especially the chili. Delivery orders pour in from all over.On this very day next year, Oct. 15, he's bowing out. At 67, he wants time with his grandchildren.Generally quiet and private, he finally acquiesced to an interview. Maybe the timing felt right. "The girls called me Teddy Bear. The guys call me Bear. I got my nickname from playing football. I used to growl all the time. A lot of people didn't know my name until I got my business cards. They said, 'Your name is David?'"I grew up on Wertz Avenue. We called it the hollow. My dad worked for DuPont."We had a garden on Dennison Drive all way to Oakridge. That's how far our property went. Our garden looked like a farm. We had cows, pigs and chickens. That's why it doesn't hurt me to work. We all worked in the garden. There were six of us, four brothers and one sister."My real mom, I didn't know who she was. She was gone, out drinking and carrying on. I didn't know who my real momma was until I was 16. I thought my stepmom was my momma."I had a mean daddy. If you even looked wrong, he would go upside your head. They don't know what child abuse is today. They should have come up when I was coming up. Now you can't whip them with a belt without someone calling the law."I guess it was OK. I'm still kicking. I've never been to jail, never been in any trouble."I went to Roosevelt Junior High, and I was the only black. It was rough for a while. Lonnie Hicks, I'll never forget him. We were in gym class. You know what he said. I picked up a weight and went upside his head. I'll be your man. I'm nobody's boy. We were friends after that. "I got interested in cooking because my grandfather, LeRoy Hayes, was a chef here at the hotel. When I was 15, he made me come to work for him. Once I got into it, I loved it, so I've been cooking for 50 years. "He started me out washing pots and pans. Everything I got, I earned. Back in those days, all you had to do was watch old people and they showed you how to cook and you learned all the recipes."The hotel was packed every night. We had President Kennedy one time. The maitre d' would be dressed in a suit with his shoes shined and the chefs had those big hats on. It was nice. We had about four different chefs."When I came out of Charleston High, I was working with my grandfather in the kitchen. Minimum wage was like $1.10 or $1.20."After that, I went to the Army Navy Club. I'd gotten older and wanted to move on. I was head cook over there. That's where I met Chef [Joseph] Duelli. He showed me a lot."I was at the Army Navy Club 11 years. All my jobs, any job I had, I stayed a while. I went to the Charleston House Holiday Inn and worked for Jim Davis and his wife, then to the Elk River Holiday Inn."I started back here in 1984 when they remodeled. This was nothing. When they remodeled, they dug all this out. A man said he used to come in here and drink when it was a hotel. He didn't. It wasn't here. "When they opened, it was called SOB -- Shrimp and Oyster Bar. Mr. [Christopher] Plott owned it. They didn't make any money. I tried to tell them what to do, but they wouldn't listen."The Fifth Quarter offered me a job to be their kitchen manager. I worked there 12 years. I worked at Heart of Town for Julius George for about eight years. Lot of times, I was working two jobs."Me and Ray [Green] were down at Mulligan's. I was chef down there. The same man owned this place. It was called Daniel's. He went bankrupt. I was in the right place at the right time. I knew the general manager. I asked her if I could have it. I've been here 10 years."I borrowed the money and paid it back. I don't owe anybody. I praise God for it. He turned my whole life around. I became a Christian, and it seemed like everything just came to me. I belong to the First Baptist Church."I was raised in the church, but I got away from it. One day, I was lying in bed and I called my daughter and asked if she was going to church. She said she was. I said I was going with her. She said, 'You're what?' I went with her and kept going. It's been 10 years since I was baptized."I run specials here. On Thursdays, I have baked steak and gravy and mashed potatoes and green beans. I sell out before I even open the door. That's my best seller."I make a pot of chili every day in the winter. I'm famous for my chili. I just love to cook. I could cook seven days a week."We have happy hour 4 to 7 Monday through Thursday. On Friday, we let it run until 9. If nobody comes in, we close up. You ought to come for lunch. It's crowded."My best-selling soup is potato soup. And I make chicken and dumpling soup, vegetable soup, cheese and broccoli soup. I do it all."I don't open on weekends. If you open on weekends, you are looking for trouble. Look what happened on Capitol Street the other night. Those same people, I turn down."I get people from the Statehouse over there and people in this building and people at Saint Francis. We deliver from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. all the way up to Kanawha City and down to Patrick Street. Deliveries are 40 percent of our business."I don't advertise, but I have a good business. Everybody knows about me from word of mouth. At the Army Navy Club, I met about everybody in Charleston. Palumbo. Danny Jones. I was young then, about 21 or 22."I could write a book about what I've heard in this place and everything that went on in this building. It would be a bestseller. But no, a whole lot of my friends would be involved."I'm going to retire next Oct. 15. That's when my lease runs out. My employees will be taking it over. I'll stay on to guide them, maybe three days a week. But I wont be responsible for payroll and paying the rent."I wish I had gone in business for myself early. When I was working for everyone else, I should have been doing it for myself. When I decided to go into business, I was already 54 or 55. If I knew then what I know now, I'd be a millionaire."You get to a certain age, and you get tired. I come in here at 6 and get out about 4. That's too much for me, especially on this cement floor. I'll miss this place, but sooner or later, you got to hang it up. It's like a football player. You play as long as you can, then it's time to go."I got three daughters and seven grandchildren, all boys. I want to enjoy them. And I want to work around the church."I don't like being around a lot of people. I don't talk to people, just some who come in here. I joke with them, tell them hi, but as far as carrying on a conversation, no."Even when I was a kid, I played by myself. That way, you don't get in trouble and nobody knows your business."My friends I grew up with, they're mostly dead. But it ain't over for me yet. I figure I've got about 20 more years."Reach Sandy Wells at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5173.

BOULDER, Colo. - With 12 seconds left in the first half against Colorado State last Saturday, senior wide receiver Kyle Cefalo hauled in a 24-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Hansen.
It was his first touchdown grab ever.
"My touchdown gave us a lot of momentum going into halftime after a hard fought first half in which we faced a lot of adversity," said Cefalo. "It kind of lifted our team a lot and I thought that was the most special part about it."
Said Hansen: "Kyle is a great guy. He is one of my good buddies on the team. His sister was in town; his family was there at the game so it was a really special moment for him."
The last time Cefalo had accounted for a touchdown in an organized football game was during his senior year at Bishop Kelly High School, where he played quarterback for the Boise-based football powerhouse. That was in 2006.
Cefalo has been on quite a journey since graduating from Bishop Kelly. He originally enrolled at Oregon State and joined the Beavers' baseball team as a scholarshiped pitcher.
"I figured my goals in college would be going to Omaha to hopefully play in the College World Series and potentially getting drafted into Major League Baseball," Cefalo said.
But a career-ending shoulder injury kept him from ever playing in a college baseball game.
"I had nerve damage right behind my shoulder blade and I didn't know what happened," Cefalo recalled. "It wasn't painful at all but there was something wrong because I didn't have any velocity and I didn't have any control when I threw the ball.
"I went to a doctor and they did a ton of tests. They finally said, 'This is the issue but we can't go in and fix it'. There was no surgery they could do. So I took 10 months off from throwing, just trying to get better and then come back. But when I did come back, it was just as bad. So I had to make a life decision basically."
While at Wenatchee Community College in the fall of 2008, Cefalo watched his old high school teammate and good friend Cody Hawkins lead the Buffaloes to a victory over West Virginia on national television. That prompted Cefalo to call Hawkins to see if there might be an opportunity for him to join CU's program as a preferred walk-on.
"I knew I couldn't play quarterback anymore because of my injury, but I thought wide receiver would be a good fit for me," Cefalo said. "I figured I could pick up on receiver quickly because I understood the game of football pretty well. And I played quarterback so I was always with the receivers. I got an opportunity and I have tried to make the most of that opportunity."
Cefalo enrolled at Colorado in the spring of 2009 and gradually showed improvement in practice. Colorado fans became aware of his potential when he caught 12 passes for 144 yards during the 2010 spring game. Cefalo saw action in 11 games, including one start, as a junior last season. He caught a six passes for a modest 35 yards.
After the coaching change, Cefalo wondered if he would get a fair shot to play during his senior year.
"I woke up every day during spring practices knowing that I had to bring my 'A game' because I didn't have any leeway or any leniency given that I was a walk-on," Cefalo said. "I knew that I had to bring it every day and if I didn't, my career here could be over. I continued to fight, continued to stay in the mix. I still feel that way now. I know I still need to show up. I can't take a day off."
First-year Colorado wide receivers coach Bobby Kennedy said he knew early on during spring practices that Cefalo could potentially make an impact on game day.
"The first time I met with my guys when I came in, I said, 'I am here at Colorado and you are here at Colorado so you are all my guys and you are all going to get a fair chance'," Kennedy explained. "I told them that they have to come off the ball and catch the ball consistently and work hard in practice and Kyle demonstrated in practice that he was willing to do that. He went a million miles an hour."
Colorado head coach Jon Embree surprised Cefalo on Aug. 17 when he announced in front of the team that Cefalo would be placed on scholarship for his senior year.
"It's nice when four years of hard work can pay off and the coaches recognize that," Cefalo said.
In addition to his touchdown grab versus the Rams, Cefalo had two receptions against Hawaii and one catch against Cal.
Americans love an underdog and they love an overachiever. Rudy, which chronicles the struggles of an undersized football player that works tirelessly in an attempt to join Notre Dame's program as a walk-on, is one of the most popular sports movies of all-time.
Cefalo has often felt like Rudy Ruettiger since arriving in Boulder.
"The reason Kyle overachieves is because he works so hard every day," Kennedy said. "He is a guy that I have tremendous confidence in because he comes to practice every day willing to work and willing to listen. He has been a pleasure to coach."
Cefalo stands 5-foot-10, 170-pounds. He is not often recognized as a football player on campus.
"That is the story of my life right there," Cefalo said with a half-smile. "I had no Division-1 offers for football because of my size. But I am glad these coaches and my teammates don't just see my size. They see a player that is relishing the opportunity that I have and taking advantage of it.
"The key for me is not trying to do anything that I can't do and knowing what I can do. I try to be smart. I try to run crisp, precise routes and be quick out of my breaks. And once the ball gets to you, you have to catch it. I am comfortable with my hands. I'm not the fastest, not the biggest. I am not going to run anybody over or run by them but I am going to try to outwork you and play you to the best of my ability."
Cefalo is one of eight walk-ons or former walk-ons that have made an impact on game day for the Buffaloes through three games this season.
Having a strong walk-on program at Colorado is "very important" to Embree. His son Connor Embree is a walk-on receiver at Kansas.
"Walk-ons are important because you miss in recruiting," he said. "Sometimes a guy gets overlooked or he grows late or something happens. They help you playing and if they don't play, they help you in a lot of other ways. Kids that are walk-ons play for totally different reasons than guys that are on scholarship. They may not be thinking NFL. They really have to love the game. They come out and some guys get pounded on and don't get a lot of notoriety so to me it is special having walk-ons."

Rain Acquitted of Malpractice Charges
Rain has been freed of all malpractice charges, coming loose from a case that involved billions of won.
On June 23, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors′ Office announced that "Rain, who was sued for bringing harm to a company after demanding billions of won for modeling fees as its main shareholder, was cleared of all charges following a reinvestigation."
In April 2010, a businessman that traded in clothing sued Rain, saying that the singer, the biggest shareholder in a company the accuser invested in, received about 2.2 billion won as three years′ worth of modeling fees, bringing great harm to the company by receiving the excessive payment.
The reinvestigation took place for about two years, but the Prosecutors′ Office stated that no suspicions against Rain could be confirmed, and so Rain was not indicted.
Rain will be released from his military duties in July.

Jafza implements best-in-class information systems, minimizing security risks
Economic Zones World (EZW) and its flagship operator Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) announced that it has received the prestigious ISO 27001 certification for its Information Security Management System (ISMS). This certification confirms the most stringent level of standards for information security management and is respected and recognized across all industries.
ISMS is a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information in order to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data pertaining to customers, employees and trading partners. ISO 27001 is an auditable international standard which defines the requirements for Information Security Management Systems.
As part of the ISO 27001 compliance process, EZW has systematically examined information security risks, taking account of the threats, vulnerabilities and impacts. EZW then designed and implemented a comprehensive set of controls and other forms of measures to address those risks that are deemed unacceptable.
Additionally, the company has now adopted best practice management processes to ensure that the information security controls continue to meet the organization's information security needs on an ongoing basis. Periodic surveillance visits by third party auditors help the organization to stay vigilant and ensure continued compliance with the standards.
EZW recently conducted training sessions related to ISMS awareness for its employees, briefing them on information security threats and measures that should be adopted on a continuous basis by individuals in order to minimize associated risks.
Ibrahim Mohamed Al Janahi, Deputy CEO of Jafza and Chief Commercial Officer said: "EZW is an organization with complex security needs and we are part of an industry that demands protection of important information assets. Receiving this ISO 27001 certification confirms our commitment to providing a safe and secure business environment for our clients at all times. We are continuously evaluating and enhancing existing systems to find optimal solutions in our operations, which includes implementing the best available information security infrastructure."
In addition to the ISO 27001 certification, Jafza has also developed a process based Quality Management System meeting ISO standards which documents all core business and support processes in the free zone. In 1996 Jafza won ISO accreditation (ISO 9002:1994) becoming the first ISO certified free zone in the world for its Quality Management System. It was later enhanced to ISO 9001:2000 levels in the year 2001 and the quality was actively maintained till 2009 after which it was upgraded to ISO 9001:2008 standards.

My front left tooth is turning black. It was knocked back and almost all the ways out with a hockey 3 weeks ago. It was put back in place by my dentist (was on my hockey team) within one hour and then braced. The tooth is now turning black and both my front teeth are moving drstically forward. What are my best options as I am a business student so I would like to have a cosmetically pleasing smile. Do I just ask for am implant? A veneer? Thanks

Doctor Answers 7
Hockey Injury May Lead To Implants
It is difficult to tell without radiographs, but based on what you are explaining I would think that the best treament would be extracting and placing implants. You should consider seeing a surgeon and have them take a 3D CT scan of those teeth and evaluate the amount of remiaining bone supporting those teeth. My guess is that it will be thin and a potential bone graft would be needed for proper placement of implants. The process would take 6-12 months to get your new crowns. Good luck.
Tooth turning dark from trauma?
If the tooth is stable you would do a root canal and then cover tooth with a crown if the tooth is not stable then you would extract and consider a fixed bridge or implant good luck
Kevin Coughlin DMD, MBA, MAGD CEO Baystate Dental PC
Take it from a former hockey player and have your teeth corrected the right way. I do not recommend you waste your time and money by doing treatment that will fail. Both teeth have died as the blood vessels and nerves of those two front teeth have been severed. There is a very high probability that the thin wall of bone supporting these teeth has fractured. Therefore, a root canal will eventually fail. Have a competent implantologist extract both teeth, graft and repair the bone, then place an implant with soft tissue grafting procedures for the best esthetic outcome. Then have 2 crowns placed supported by the 2 implants. Finally, have a protective mouthguard made for you. No matter what sport you play and at all levels of competition, have a mouthguard made as an insurance policy against tooth injury and head trauma. It can safe a life or at least the life of a tooth. Good luck.

Black toorh needs root canal treatment
hi. Your condition is far more common that you may think. If the splinting has worked fine and the tooth is holding up well, then it needa a rootcanal treatment followed by an esthetic crown. If the splinting is not successful, you may need to get it extracted and replaced with an implant. talk to your dentist. Dr. Gaurav Kumar Goel prosthodontist Dentessence Dental Care India
Hockey Stick Knocked Out Front Tooth
See your dentist for a follow-up X-ray. Depending on the bone strength, you will need Root Canal in order to save your teeth and then Crown or Veneer them. Alternatively, you might need to extract and place an implant. See a good cosmetic dentist in your area for your specific choices.
Trauma to anterior teeth
Very typical clinical picture proving possible fracture of the nerve and a vessel inside of the tooth with possible fracture of the bone socket fragment. both of the teeth will need endodontic treatment and splinting. It will be quite a complicated case to recover with good aesthetic result.
What to do?
Dear rutley 45: Sorry to hear about your trouble, it is unfortunately far too common. You need not "ask" for anything. What you need is to talk to your dentist, or go to a prosthodontist, who is the specialist in this area, and discuss the options available to you, the costs, and then you will have the appropriate treatment plant for you alone. If the Tooth turned dark, it means that it died, and root canal treatment is in order. Following that, and internal bleaching procedure might be utilized, in combined with orthodontics, possibly Invisalign, result in a very pleasing smile without any more dental work. The les dental work done such as crown and bridge work, veneers etc., the better. Please talk to your dentist or a prosthodontist. Best of luck,

I will be using it to showcase up to 25 projects so a page which displays many projects would be ideal as it may look cluttered to place them all on the home page.
Thank you
Hi, Sure, you can create an additional portfolio page which is standalone. Then you can also filter the projects inserted there (in the back end) so that the projects from the homepage are not repeated.
Fantastic! Cant wait to use this theme. Thanks for the quick reply also.
Hi—very nice theme to work with thus far, slick, clean and relatively simple.
I have a small problem, I have both my logo and a video on the homepage, but whenever I try to upload a smaller logo, it resized and pushes the play button to the right and down (no matter the size of the uploaded file). Is it possible to have a way to push the play button down a bit, or move it on the page underneath the logo?

great site! I actually love the music on the feature video and was wondering if that might come with the purchase of the site? If not, any chance you remember where you purchased it?
Thanks in advance!
Hey, that song is called "Intro" by XX. Here it is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gxNW2Ulpwk Its not included in the download, the video is just an embed from YouTube
Hi There,
I would like to know if it would be possible to display more than 3 large projects when using a widescreen. The project "cards" quite large and would like to use the 210px wide cards to display more. I understand we might need to look into the stylesheet – can you please advise where to dig?
Thanks! L
Hey, Open portfolio.php and change the "four" class in the grid markup to "three", this may not give you the pixel width you require but it will give you 4 items per row instead of 3.
Hi there!
We really like your theme, but before purchasing, we'd like to know a few things:
- Is it possible to have a picture in the header instead of a slider? - Is it possible to have the colors of the menu items change when you are to right spot in the site? So for example: when I scroll into the 'services' area, then the 'services' menu item will get a different color than the other menu items. - is it possible to have a captcha in the contact form, to prevent spam? - is it possible to show the newest blog entries on the homepage?
Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks so much! Marlies
Hi, Yes an image is supported there, it doesn't have to be a slider. The main menu items do not highlight, this is not a feature of this theme and hence would require custom work to implement, because its not just a simple case of CSS. There is no captcha in this theme, but if this is something you require you could try using a third party form plugin in the theme. Unfortunately the blog section must be a separate page and cannot be part of the one-page layout.
Hi Bitafde,
I tried to paste the Google Analytics code into the theme custom JS hook in admin interface, but it does not track jack shit!
Do i have to install a custom plugin or mount it manually into code to get this work?
make sure you removed the "<script> ... </script>" surrounding the GA javascript code before copying it in the custom JS field (the "script" tag gets added by the theme code)
Hi there,
I am absolutely in love with your theme! It is exactly what I was looking for.I would like to change the color of the call to action on the project page (the black background where it says "Is this your dream save the date?"). It is too dark for my linking. http://www.julietmarriesromeo.com/project/blushing-over-you-floral-save-the-date/
How would I go about that?
Thank you so much, Camelia

Hi! I would like to show the last 4 posts of the blog in the homepage, but I couldn't manage to do this through "pagecontent" templates.
I will appreciate any tips about this issue!
Thank you!!
Hi, The blog needs to have its own separate section. Incorporating it into the homepage section is not supported.
hi! I just bought this theme and I'm excited to get started, but just had one question. I was able to install the theme, but until I have it ready to go, I don't want to activate it as my blog is currently live with another theme. Is there a way to work on it without it being activated?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Hi, You can create a local server or development environment and you can install WordPress there. You can load in the dummy content into the theme once activated and then work on the theme there. You should search Google for the many tutorials about setting up such a situation.
Hola. Quiro saber si hay versión para Wordpress 3.9
Hi, Yes this theme supports WP 3.9
Hi. I add a newsletter form what can I do?
Only with a 3rd party plugin.
Are the images and video files included in the package?
Hi, The images and videos displayed in the online theme demo are not included in the download package. There are several reasons for this, we don;t have licences to redistribute those images/videos and that's only demo content, which needs to be replaced with your own content. Out theme does however have dummy content included which can be optionally imported by you once you activate the theme, this will replace the images which you see in the theme demo but retain all the pages/layouts.
Excited! Love the theme and purchasing it ASAP! Awesome demo by the way. Great choice of vid….and song!
I have an issue with Safari compatibility around the project tiles. The theme works superbly with other browsers, and even on Iphone/Ipad safari browsers. I've seen a previous entry here – it was not answered earlier. The issue is exactly the same.
Would you be able to look into it? I am able to provide a screenshot if needed. Many thanks!!
Hi, I've checked the theme now in safari and I am not seeing any problem with the project titles, could you be more specific about what the problem is? I'm assuming you are talking about Safari on OSX?
Yes indeed, I am using 6.0.4 and only the photo appears, not the info below it – in addition the titles overlay each other. I am able to supply a screenshot or URL if needed. Thank you for the help!

I have tried installing the full zip file onto my Wordpress.org site and I am getting this message. "The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet. Theme install failed." Please advise asap as I am excited to start playing!
Hi Kristin, As discussed on email the item you have purchased is not the WP version of this design but the HTML template version. Additionally WP themes purchased from Themeforest cannot be used on WP.org hosted sites, instead you will need your own hosting and your own install of WordPress before you can used them.

Brian Harman has only been 18 for five weeks. He has almost half a year of high school remaining and it will be nine months until he can vote for the first time.
But, in one conscious way, he has already left childhood behind.
Harman has always been one of those kids who seems older than he is, if not by appearance than by actions.
You can hear it in the way he has real and meaningful conversations with adults and you can see it in how he has handled the attention of being a celebrated athlete.
And, after several summers of dominating the country's best schoolboy golfers, he has found a new method of trying to exceed his age.
Harman has decided he is finished with junior golf and will now concentrate on national amateur events. It's a choice that he says was easy and one made less for who he will be playing against than what he will be playing for.
More than anything, that is a spot on the 2005 United States Walker Cup team.
It's an ambitious goal that might even come off as somewhat presumptuous if it weren't so legitimately possible.
In December, Harman received a letter from the USGA stating that he was a candidate for the Walker Cup, the amateur version of the Ryder Cup. And in January, he attended a practice session in Tampa, Fla., for prospective members, a group of 24 players from which 10 will be chosen to represent the U.S. in the biennial matches against a team from Europe Aug. 13 and 14 in Chicago.
That weekend was the ceremonial start to the six months Harman now has to become America's youngest Walker Cupper ever.
"That's what every amateur golfer wants, to make the Walker Cup,'' said Harman. "That's the goal.''
And his new approach will reflect his attention to it.
He'll play his senior season at Savannah Christian. But he'll prepare and challenge himself with the rest of his competitive schedule, which will include premier events such as the Azalea Invitational in Charleston, the Sunnehanna Invitational in Johnstown, Pa., the Northeast Amateur in Rumford, R.I., the Players Amateur in Bluffton and the Porter Cup in Lewiston, N.Y.
He will pass on the invitation he received to the British Amateur because of a conflicting event - high school graduation.
In leaving junior golf, Harman is not sacrificing much.
He already has won most of its biggest tournaments, including four AJGA major championships, and will continue to see a lot of the friends he's made the last few years since they were older anyway. And he wouldn't have even been eligible for the only event that might have held his interest, the USGA Junior Amateur, which is open to players younger than 18.
That made it easier for him to move on.
So, someone who hopes to go pretty far in golf is simply advancing to another of the many levels along the way, perhaps a little earlier than expected but not really prematurely.
"It's time to take the next step,'' said Harman. "It's so much more fun to play big amateur events because it's more difficult and the golf courses are lot more like you see on the PGA Tour, not where you just go out and try to birdie every hole.''
It's going to be more of a test for Harman, even if he didn't show that when he started his new path last weekend.
At the Jones Cup in Sea Island, Harman played in one of the best amateur fields of the season, an international collection of top collegians and mid-ams that included all 24 Walker Cup candidates. He finished second, beating all but one prospective team member.
That moved him from 49th to 28th in the Golfweek/Titleist Men's Amateur Rankings and likely scored some early points with Walker Cup captain Bob Lewis.
"He told me he really wants me to make a run at this,'' Harman said of a meeting he had with Lewis at the Tampa event. "I think they're looking for some young guys who have that fire and passion for the game.
"Obviously, I'm young and if I have the same season that somebody else has they're going to pick the other guy. But if I can show I'm clearly one of the top 10, I'll make it. I think I'll probably have to win a big amateur event and maybe have a couple more top fives.''
Whatever it takes, it won't be easy.
In fact, Harman might be less of a lock on a golf course now than he has been at any time in the last several years.
But then, that's pretty much the whole point for someone who is trading the comfort of being the guy everyone is chasing for a whole new and more challenging pursuit of his own.

The Cape Town Call to Action was discussed throughout the PHA3 in Cape Town from July 6 to 11, 2012. The final draft was discussed in the assembly's final plenary and was open for comments and suggestions for another month. Now the CTA is finalised!
Click Here for the final Call to Action!
Your chance to make PHA3 a grass roots event!PHA3 is approaching! A large number of activists from around the globe have already registered. However, there is a shortage in funding for grassroots activists and community based organizations to participate. We appeal for contributions no matter how small or large to support participation of people from the South in the PHA3! Please donate now following this link http://www.phmovement.org/en/pha3/donate
The PHA3 logo was developed following an international logo contest amongst PHM activists. PHM would like to thank the South African PHM student Coalition for organising this logo design contest and would like to thank everybody who submitted ideas.
During the logo design contest people were asked to bring their ideas for a PHA3 logo based on PHM's vision statement.
Equity, ecologically‐sustainable development and peace are at the heart of our vision of a better world ‐ a world in which a healthy life for all is a reality; a world that respects, appreciates and celebrates all life and diversity; a world that enables the flowering of people's talents and abilities to enrich each other; a world in which people's voices guide the decisions that shape our lives.
Vision of PHMThe winning logo was used as inspiration for the designer to develop the final logo. Out of that flowed a logo standing for togetherness, Ubuntu, community and solidarity. It is about finding solutions together and sharing stories, experiences and ideas to achieve health for all. It is about linking local with global and stands for one world where everybody has the opportunity to live a decent and healthy life.

Moscow today said it will back a new United Nations (UN) resolution aimed at ending the growing crisis in Syria, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced in Moscow today, according to the Associated Press (AP).
Lavrov's comments come amid reports of Syrian government forces today shelling three towns, part of its brutal crackdown on a year-long uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime in violence that has left some 8,000 people dead.
More from GlobalPost: Syria's revolt is now one year old
The move by Moscow is something of a game-changer for Russia, a member of the UN's Security Council that earlier used its veto power to block sanctions-strapped resolutions targeting its Syrian ally, to whom it sells weapons.
This most recent UN resolution, which has not been made public, is based off a plan put forth by UN envoy Kofi Annan after discussing the situation with Assad in Damascus last month, said AP.
Bloomberg said the resolution would be "a step down from" legally binding but "requires unanimity and would represent the strongest world response to the crisis since Russia and China twice vetoed tougher measures."
Lavrov today warned that while Moscow will not support "an ultimatum" for the Syrian regime, there is "support" for Annan's proposals, "not only in the form of a statement but also a resolution."
More from GlobalPost: Tough times for Australian billionaires
The UN Security Council is set to meet and possibly vote on a separate Syria statement later today, according to AP. The statement reportedly demands that "further measures" be taken if Assad does not act in accordance with Annan's agreement.
Lavrov's comments follow stronger language from Russia on the Syria issue in recent days, with a Foreign Ministry statement on Monday calling on Assad to allow humanitarian aid into the country, said AP.

AMU featured on EWTN
I don't know if you saw the EWTN show that Colleen Carroll Campbell hosts on Wednesdays that aired last night at 6pm. She was very kind to spotlight Ave Maria's 22% reduction in the tuition and fees "sticker price" for next fall, and also explore how Ave Maria happily promotes our love of the Catholic Church in so many ways, including through the new Mother Teresa Project. Colleen is a natural and so good at what she does - and if you read her hugely successful "My Sisters the Saints" book she published last year (which is coming out in paperback in 2014) then you know that her talents are many. I have known her for years and her three beautiful children (she is expecting her fourth in February) as well as her wonderful husband (John, a medical doctor who cares for elders). They moved from their comfortable lives in St. Louis to undertake this adventure in Catholic television. The Church needs more voices like Colleen's in order to harvest the fruits of the feminine genius that Pope Francis recently touted. Mary Ann Glendon, Helen Alvare, Colleen and others have much to offer the Church as it engages the culture and transforms it.

When I read Nick Frame's article yesterday on this site, I had a couple of immediate guesses as to why privatization of alcohol distribution would have failed in Washington. My first guess was that the state had somehow substituted a state-enforced private monopoly for the public monopoly on liquor stores, thereby missing any opportunity to let market forces reign. Such a mistake would not be surprising in the liquor business, as even states with supposedly free markets still enforce crony arrangements with large distributors that give them a virtual protected monopoly over wholesaling in the state.
However, when I clicked through to the article that Frame linked, I was surprised to find this:
Even before privatization, Washington had some of the nation's highest liquor taxes and fees, at $26.70 a gallon. The national average is $7.02 a gallon, said the Tax Foundation, a research group. Washington state's levies included government stores' 52% markup, a 21% liquor sales tax and a $3.77-per-liter excise tax.
And while those sales and excise taxes remain under privatization, new fees further raised prices: Liquor distributors must pay an additional 10% levy, and retailers another 17%. Distributors also are on the hook for any shortfall to the state if they don't generate $150 million from the 10% fee by April.I understand that many folks are inherently skeptical about privatization, but we need to be a little fair here. I think editing this out of the excerpt really changes the meaning of the report.
It seems a real stretch to try to blame a 17% rise in liquor prices on "privatization" when at the same time government fees on sellers went up by something like 22% of the final price of the liquor (17% from the retail levy above plus half of the 10% wholesaler levy, assuming the final wholesale price is about half of retail). Note that because these are excise taxes, they will affect price statistics and inflation rates (just as cigarette and gasoline taxes do as well). And why should we be surprised that liquor is cheaper in neighboring states, when the article states pretty clearly that Washington has by far the highest built-in taxes in the country?
Here is what I think the more interesting issue is: States that control alcohol sales are able to extract substantial monopoly rents from this activity. The problem for them in privatization is that it may well be impossible to replace these rents going to government in a privatized market. If I had to guess, Washington is trying to achieve two goals at the same time in its privatization program and it may be that it is impossible to do both simultaneously, a sort of have your cake and eat it too situation:
- They want to retain the monopoly rents as a revenue source for the state
- They want to provide consumers more shopping choices, better service, and lower prices through privatization
I think I can see exactly what they tried to do: They privatized distribution, then slapped heavy taxes on the private companies to create a revenue stream to replace its old monopoly rents. The result is a mess, because I don't think the state can do both, at least in the short term. In the long term, the state may be able to reap equivalent revenues with a lower tax percentage of a larger and growing market, but that takes time to evolve.

Automotive Program Receives Generous Equipment Donation
March 29th, 2016
Donation Made In Response to Student Request!
RALEIGH, N.C. (March 28, 2016) - Wake Tech's Automotive Systems Technology program trains future auto technicians in the very latest technologies – and today, the program received a very valuable donation. The Wake County New Vehicle Dealers Association donated a Duramax diesel engine and Allison transmission package that will provide important, up-to-the-minute, hands-on training for automotive students.
"This donation is indeed very generous," said Wake Tech President Dr. Stephen Scott, "and also very important for our students. The equipment will help us offer them the best possible training, to prepare them for high-demand careers."
The donation came about after Trey Hinnant, a student in the program, requested the equipment! Hinnant says the engine and transmission will offer valuable hands on training: "Now we can work on a diesel motor in class! This will help us better understand the technology."
Generous financial and in-kind support from the community allows Wake Tech to stretch resources and extend the reach of limited program budgets. Donations from local business and industry are invaluable sources of much-needed equipment and state-of-the art technologies that greatly enhance the education and training programs the college provides.

GOP candidate Mitt Romney made a gaffe in Greenwood, S.C., when he mixed up Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden in a speech. The Times' Michael Luo had some fun with it:
"Senator Barack Obama rallying a global terror movement? Mitt Romney might have still been a bit bleary-eyed on Tuesday morning when he twice confused Mr. Obama with Osama bin Laden when referring to the latter's new recorded message for jihadists to fight in Iraq."
What Romney said:
"I think that is a position which is not consistent with the fact. Actually, just look at what Osam, uh, Barack Obama, said just yesterday, Barack Obama, calling on radicals, jihadists of all different types, to come together in Iraq. 'That is the battlefield. That is the central place. Come join us under one banner.'"
A harmless gaffe, but Luo squeezed a full story out of it, milking it for all the conflict he could.
"Kevin Madden, a campaign spokesman, said, 'Governor Romney simply misspoke,' calling the comment a 'brief mix-up.'
"Mr. Obama's campaign was not amused. 'Apparently, Mitt Romney can switch names just as casually as he switches positions,' said Bill Burton, a spokesman for Mr. Obama."
By contrast, a Nexis search indicates the Times never mentioned the same gaffe made by another Massachusetts politician,liberal Democrat Sen. Ted Kennedy (Obama's colleague) on January 12, 2005 in response to a question about lessons to be learned from Obama's victory.
"Why don't we just ask Osama bin - Osama Obama - Obama what - since he won by such a big amount." (H/t Ace for the reminder.)

Gov. Pawlenty has not signed on to a letter by 47 of the nation's 55 governors of states and territories that urges Congress to pass legislation that extends federal Medicaid money. Why is that newsworthy? Well, Pawlenty is relying on that money erase a third of the state's $1.2 billion budget deficit.
The letter said "States and territories are in the process of finalizing budgets for FY 2011 that our legislatures will be considering over the next several months. Timely passage of an extension of ARRA's enhanced FMAP would greatly assist us in maintaining services and further stabilizing the economy."
A spokeswoman for the NGA said all of the governors of the fifty states and five territories were asked to sign the letter. Pawlenty is a former chair of the NGA.
Pawlenty, who has been in Washington D.C. since Thursday, has repeatedly bashed the federal stimulus (most recently calling it wasteful on NBC's Meet the Press). Several DFL lawmakers have said it would by hypocritical of him to earmark the federal money in his budget and then not lobby for the funds to be passed into law.
For the record, Pawlenty also relied on $2.6 billion in stimulus funds to fix the state's budget problem last year.

Fiorentina chief Daniele Prade has revealed they intend to bid for AS Roma striker Pablo Daniel Osvaldo.
Osvaldo is expected to be sold by Roma in the summer.
"We are looking for a forward with the hunger for goals," Prade told Radio Toscana. "A player who lives to score goals.
"Osvaldo? I do not think that Roma will want to strengthen a direct rival of theirs, but you can never say never."

Senior Correspondent
Newark Teachers Union President Joe Del Grosso echoed the sentiment of most of the Newark parents who attended the School Advisory Board meeting — emotions and frustrations ran high, especially after the audience heard Superintendent Cami Anderson would not be attending last night's — or any other — meetings.
"In her statement that her and her staff won't attend is not only a slap in the face to the board, it is a slap in the face to the community," said School Advisory Board Chair Antoinette Baskerville-Richardson.
Anderson outlined her reasons in a letter from Newark Public Schools, which claims the meetings suffered from "dysfunction" and that Superintendent Anderson and the Newark Public Schools leadership team will no longer attend these meetings. The meetings do get heated. Union officials called her a "coward" last night. And in a previous meeting, she left after Natasha Allen asked her a question that referenced her bi-racial child.
"I asked her if our brown babies deserve the same as her brown baby. But it was more of an appeal to a mother from another mother," Natasha Allen said.
Anderson declined to comment on camera but issued this statement: "No one wins when personal attacks are allowed to seep into discussion. There must be a way where we can have rigorous debates and disagreement — even vociferously — but remain respectful and focused on business."
But it's Anderson's school overhaul plan that is causing the biggest uproar. It would close and consolidate schools and laying off hundreds of teachers. Anderson wants to waive seniority rules and instead base layoffs on teacher performance. The Newark Teachers Union represents Newark teachers and expressed outrage last night.
"The only waiver you'll see is bye bye," said Del Grasso.
Today, the NJEA questioned the legality of the waiver.
"She wants to fire basically 700 people and then hire in 300 brand new teachers at the lower end of the scale. That's exactly against what the law says about have process rights," said Wendell Steinhauer of the NJEA.
Anderson says declining enrollment has prompted the need for layoffs. The district plans to continue to communicate with the community about this plan via online postings and on Newark's local Chanel 77.
It's not clear yet when the state will make its decision about whether or not to approve the waiver. Education Commissioner Chris Cerf, who many here consider Anderson's ally, will be leaving office at the end of the week.

One of my all time favorite books is South: The Last Antarctic Expedition of Shackleton and the Endurance (The Explorers Club Classic) . It's an amazing adventure and an incredible story. It's a comfort to know that any challenges I face will be easier than those conquered by Shackleton.
Luckily, traveling to Antarctica these days is far less hazardous. And we're glad of that because we'd really to send one of our favorite bloggers there as our surrogate eyes and ears.
We're also glad because the we won't have to worry about her getting eaten by polar bears.

Join the healthy-food train with this nutritious centrepiece that will give your youngest and hungriest guests something to nibble on before mealtime. The cars are made out of crisp bread and graham crackers, with cream cheese and seed butter to attach the pieces together. Then a combination of healthy snacks, including raisins, fruit leathers, fruit and veggies, and individual-serving cheese and meats, are used to adorn the train and fill each car.
Train timeline:
• The night before: Cut veggies and place in water, cut fruit leathers into desired shapes and wrap in plastic wrap; store all in fridge overnight.
• Two hours before: Unwrap meat and cheese; construct the train frame; store in fridge.
• Immediately before: Cut fruit and assemble train. Use toothpicks and seed butter or cream cheese to keep everything in place.
We think this would be a great centrepiece for a birthday party, or at a family gathering. It's sure to please even the pickiest eaters! Kids will have fun emptying the cars and then deconstructing the delicious train one bite at a time.
For more great healthy snack ideas, try this Ernie and Bert fruit snack, or some Kermit's Green Apples.

Telugu film industry is always a land of sentiments. There are many things associated with these sentiments right from movie muhurath to movie release. But Pawan Kalyan does not seem to be a man of sentiments but his fans are certainly so. Going in to the detail, The actor's recent blockbuster movie Gabbar Singh was extensively shot in Pollachi. And now the unit of Pawan's upcoming movie under the direction of Trivikram Srinivas will also be going there. The 15 day Pollachi schedule will begin from 10th of this month. Fans are hoping that their sentiment works this time too.
Pawan Kalyan had been shooting in various Hotels and Malls of Hyderabad for the last few days. A fight sequence is being canned in City Center mall under the action choreography of Peter Heins. Pawan Kalyan, Samantha and Pranitha participated in this shoot.

Good job, commissioners
October 16, 2012
As a Douglas County resident and community member, I attended the Oct. 4 Douglas County Board of Commissioners meeting held here at the Douglas County Historic Courthouse. The meeting began pretty much as usual, with the invocation, Pledge of Allegiance, etc. Award presentations were given and Public Comment ensued. We seemed to be moving through the agenda right on schedule, until we hit the Public Works agenda item 7, which called for what seemed to be a straight forward 10 minute agenda item reading:
"For possible action. Discussion to adopt Resolution 2012R-077, to prohibit left turns from Service Drive onto US 395."
This item pertained to the median that has been placed on Highway 395 at the entrance to the new WalMart, this median placement, heading southbound, prior to Service Drive and ends at Grant Avenue, the ingress /egress for the new WalMart shopping center. Here's part of the concern, if you are on Service Drive you are no longer able to make a left hand turn from Service Drive unless you decided to drive over the median, next southbound travelers are no longer able to access local businesses on Service Drive by making a left hand turn, consequently travelers would need to drive to the new light and make a U-Turn, backtracking to Service Drive. Businesses such as Ahern Rentals, Carquest Auto Parts and others are now negatively impacted by the median which was required due to the new WalMart center. The length of the median is based on a number of factors including the present speed limit on Highway 395 and highway statistics that calculate the safe deceleration of vehicles for traffic flows. Limiting the access to these businesses could potentially have a negative impact.
Comments included statements that a traffic study was performed reflecting that there were seven vehicles per hour that turned onto Service Drive, something that business owners indicated was inaccurate. Public comment included Ahern Rentals vice president flying in from Salt Lake City, Utah to address the commissioners and expressed his strong objection to the placement of this median. In a compelling statement, he indicated that very often equipment rented by Ahern Rentals is transported by large semi-trucks, with the placement of the median, these trucks will not be able to make the turn, additionally these rigs will no longer be able access Service Drive by making a left hand turn from Highway 395 onto Service, as a suggested alternative route, these rigs proposed route is impossible to safely travel.
Your board of county commissioners heard the public outcry and clearly, effectively and passionately argued to find a possible solution to the point that they would not vote on agenda item 7 postponing it to be addressed again and soon.

As some of the last comments made, it was stated that this is one of the few times where the entire Board of Commissioners agreed.
I say kudos to the Douglas County Board of Commissioners.

After you identify where Robert Mathis will be on each play, what is the next thing you look at?
"He's a good place to start. He's a great player and been a great player for a long time. We've played these guys a bunch over the years. We kind of know what we're up against. He's having one of the best years of his career. They have a good defense. They are Top 10 in a bunch of categories. They really have some good safeties that cover a lot of ground, really fast corners. They're physical. They have a good team. We just have to outscore them, I think. We have to go out there and put points on the board. That's what our job is going to be."
What do you think about your former teammate Darius Butler and the job he's done for their defense?
"He's done a great job. I always had a lot of respect for Darius and what he was able to do. He's an incredible athlete. I've thrown him a lot of interceptions on the practice field. Hopefully, I don't throw him one this weekend."
Does seeing the Colts come back from that 28-point deficit change in your mind how you see that team and can you relate to a comeback like that?
"It was a great game, a great team win and they got into a hole there and just had to dig their way out. Like I said the other day, once you get some momentum going on your side, it's pretty remarkable to be able to do that. Down 28 points there in the third quarter – they just made a bunch of good plays and it took them until the very end to win and the defense made a great stop there in the fourth quarter with two minutes to go. There's going to be a lot of close games – we've been in a lot of close games, they've been in a lot of close games, probably more than anybody in the league. They find a way to win them. That's how they got to this point. Hopefully, we can go out and be the team that goes out on top."
Is there a notion on either side of a lead that no lead is safe and that if you get down that anything is possible?
"Yeah, they were 11-5 in the regular season and 12-5 now. They've had a great year and been tough to beat. They beat some of the best teams in the league – teams that are still in the playoffs now. They can play with anybody. There's no question about that. They have plenty of skill and plenty of playmakers on offense and defense. They have great special teams, one of the best kickers of all time. They're good in all areas and you don't get to this point without being one of the best teams. It's pretty easy to see why they're playing this weekend."
We asked Andrew Luck about the motivating factor of playing in the same playoff game as you. What about for you personally – when one of the great young players is coming to challenge you in a playoff game?
"I don't necessarily approach it like that. My motivation is pretty simple. I just try to win, that's what I try to do and try to be part of the reason why we're successful. That's part of doing my job and trying to be the best I can be for the team. It really doesn't have anything to do with anybody on the other team and their motivation might be. To be a professional athlete and to play at this high level with this level of competition, winning is the only thing that's important. That's one goal and one objective that I've had for a very long time."
You can impart your wisdom upon the younger players who have never appeared in a playoff game before. But in reality do you have to play in it for a while to understand the intensity and pressures of what the playoffs are all about?
"I think you just try to play it really well. There's a first time, really, for everybody, so I don't think that can be used as an advantage or an excuse. It was my first time in 2001 when we played in a playoff game and we did pretty well. Like I said, the difference is that there's no second chances. You have to get it right and you try to get it right against the other best teams in the league. The other teams have earned the chance to get this spot; we earned a bye to advance to this part in the playoffs. Now we have to go out there and try to advance to the third round but you have to play really well. This team makes you earn it. You could have a 28-point lead but it really doesn't matter unless there's no time left on the clock. This is a team that's good in all three phases, they put pressure on you to do the right thing on every single play. Hopefully, that's a skill set of ours, too. Hopefully, we can go out there and play well on every single play and see if they can slow us down."
I think Robert Mathis has sacked you more than any quarterback outside his division. What do you think when you see him coming after you? What goes through your mind?
"I can't really run away from him, so that option's out the door. You have to understand where he's at. He really has a sense of urgency. It's one thing to sack the quarterback. It's another thing to strip-sack him and the ball's flying all over the place. You have eliminate those types of plays. They've had a lot of those types of plays this year which have been a big benefit to their team where he runs the edge, the quarterback's standing back there, here he comes and strip-sacks him. We just really can't let that happen. That's why he's one of the best players in the league – because he makes those types of plays happen. He makes them on a regular basis, it's not a fluke when he does it. That's a trademark of their team and we have to try to stop one of their strengths, probably one of their best strengths and still go out there and be aggressive enough to move the football and get the ball in the end zone."
How have you changed your approach in the playoffs since your early seasons? There's footage of you head-butting teammates before your first Super bowl. Do you still do that before games? Do you still get that excited?
"I'm pretty emotional. It just depends on the moment. I'm a pretty emotional player. All the guys are emotional and they try to bring it and it's an emotional sport."
Do you still head-butt people before the games?
"I have, yes."
People have really enjoyed the Colts/Patriots rivalry. How have you seen that rivalry throughout the years?
"Yeah, when I first got in the league they were a division rival, so we played them twice a year. I don't know if that lasted one year or two years. I started in 2000. I don't know when they did the realignment, but we've always had a great rivalry with those guys. They've always been one of the best teams in the league. We played them last year, they were very good last year, a playoff team. And obviously they've had a great year this year. To overcome a 28-point deficit like they did last week is incredible. They have a lot of good players. They got a good scheme. They're well-coached. They play well together. So we got our work cut out for us."
And again with the rivalry, maybe it's appropriate that your first start was against these guys.
"Yeah, that's right. I know. My first start was against the Colts. It was a cold, windy day in Foxboro. We got the best of them that day. They were off to a great start that year. I think they were 3-0 at that point? We've had a great history with that team and it's fun to be a part of. Hopefully, this is an exciting game for everybody to watch."
You've seen the Colts transition from Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck and you've seen this team grow. Do you look at that and kind of think it's cool, or is that an Indy thing and you don't get tied up in it at all?
"Well, Peyton's been one of the greatest players in the history of the NFL. I was fortunate to be able to watch him play for a lot of years and certainly compete against him at the Colts. And Andrew, I've only really competed against him one time. He's obviously off to a great start in his career. His team really thrives on his leadership. He's a great player and a great young quarterback. He obviously has all the ability. Our defense has got to be up for the challenge. There's no lead that's too safe against the Colts, as was evidenced last week against K.C."
We asked Andrew Luck which quarterbacks he watched growing up and he mentioned you and Peyton. Is that a compliment or does that show you how young he is and how old you are?
"(Laughs) Well, I still feel like I'm a young guy. I've been around for a few years and I got to watch Andrew play when he was at Stanford, I grew up out there. So I've always been a fan of his. He's really come into the NFL and done everything you could ask for out of a young quarterback."

We actually completely dominated this little competition last time, and that was back when pony was just barely escaping the clutches of /co/ on 4chan. I can only imagine the outcomes of this one. Right now it looks like Discord and Pinkie Pie are up in their respective Naughty and Nice categories.
I'm really liking the new layout this time around. The coders over at The Hub have vastly improved it. I guess they were just rushed last December!
Anyway, go vote here!
And check out the commercial embedded after the break.
