Good afternoon, David. Congratulations. A handful of questions, I guess. First, can you maybe just quantify on the backlogs, maybe just walk through domestically and internationally, put some perspective around the increases if you could?
David Weinberg
They both remain low double digit increases over this time last year.

And then on the international piece, if you strip out – what impact does currency have on that?
David Weinberg
It has a slight currency. It's actually, if you look at it, the euro is fairly consistent to last year. We have a little bit of loss in the pound, which is obviously a big country for us. But on par, the existing country, the euro, the Swiss franc and the Canadian dollar are not significantly different than last year, even though fluctuations. So there's not – in backlog, anyway, not significant change because of currency.

And then one thing you didn't really mention here is Shape-ups, and I'm just curious if you can maybe talk about incremental benefit to the third quarter, your thoughts as you look further out, store growth, things in that nature, just put some perspective around what it is, what it means, what you guys are doing, etc.?
David Weinberg
Well, I don't know that in and of itself it means anything more significant than what it is as part of the overall. We've been doing very, very well, and obviously its impact on the third quarter is not significantly higher. We're actually down 10% in domestic sales, and that would be the biggest piece since that's where it was launched.
So it's a piece of what we do. We now have a number of products that are checking very well. It's just like I said, it's just an increased part. It had a good beginning, but it's just the beginning and no one knows what it'll bring. But we have other products in our kids', men's, women's that are doing very, very well that are a bigger piece of the backlog and continue to improve over last year.
