hugh: yeah, happy to.his was something we put into place years ago shortly after i took over as cfo. we made the decision we want to buy commodities in advance by about nine months. it varies commodity to commodity. the reason we do that is not because we are trying to guess the market but give our internal sales people as well as our customers certainty in terms of our costs. therefore, the certainty in terms of the pricing in the marketplace. our percentage increase is equal to our percentage increase in pricing. by virtue of creating that certainty on the commodities side it allows us to manage the business more effectively and partner with customers to create growth plans that work well for them, and also really well for us. that is what gave us the confidence to give the guidance into next year. we have good visibility into our costs well into next summer. jon: great. thanks. matt: we both thank you. jon, please.
