Jim RossJames William Ross
- Birthdate: 01/03/1952 (age 63)
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 250 Ib
Jim Ross is an American professional wrestling ...
On what former "WWF President" Jack Tunney was like: "Really, nice, fun respectful guy who was a joy to be around. Was always good for a laugh and a good story."
On why WWE never did a three-man announce team with Gorilla Monsoon, Bobby Heenan and Jim Ross: "I'd have no idea but I wouldn't have gone there if asked for my opinion. Heenan and Gorilla did not need me or anyone else. Three man teams rarely work in pro wrestling."
On the toughest negotiation he had in bringing a WCW guy to WWE: "If there were issues it was that in WWE one would work more dates and the guaranteed money would be lower but that there would be no ceiling on what a talent could earn if they clicked."
On if TNA will ever be the number two company: "TNA needs to be re-booted with a new philosophy and structure. Too many people in the biz over think the biz and its simply not that complicated."
On if it's more disrespectful to mention Chris Benoit on WWE TV or to ignore his entire career: "Considering the actions of Chris in the last hours of his life, I'd suggest that there is no way to separate his wrestling career with the murder/suicide involving his family. He was a great wrestler but his inexplicable actions of the last hours of his life overshadow any wrestling matches in a fictitious world."

Sea kayaking off the Florida coast, playing my guitar (and listening to those more skilled at it than me), reading and maintaining a 40-year-old collection of pipes.
Sea kayaking off the Florida coast, playing my guitar (and listening to those more skilled at it than me), reading and maintaining a 40-year-old collection of pipes.
Married with Kids, need I say more?
In my little freetime, you'll always catch me listening to Classic Rock, Whether offshore Fishing, Car, Home or wherever, Always helps clear my thoughts,
Love Electronics, Computing, My iphone 4, Wife says play plenty of words with friends, keeps you sharp, so if anyone has this iphone app and enjoys scrabble, then hit me up screen name Casper64.
Fishing/Boating of course, Live right on the Lake, Boat is in my Slip in the BackYard. Me and my two boys wife and daughters enjoy Salt Water inshore and offshore Fishing.
Trap and Skeet, Enjoy taking my two daughters to the range, and always get a good laugh at the boys trying to impress them with their skills, of course my daughter have been shooting all their lives and ones a College student and the other graduates HS this year, I guess they have an unfair advantage.
I Love reloading, For Rifle, Shotgun, Never much reloaded pistol, except for my .357 Maximum which shoots a 140gr 270 Hornady Interlock tip, Custom built with leopold scope, made for deer hunting, or competition shooting, and I love Precision shooting.
Only Hunting I do now a days is a little Duck Hunting, Something about a Mallard flying overhead, looking back at me, and aggrevating me with his laughing like quacks just irritates the S*** out of me, and of course they all must die, according to Wildlife and Fisheries, it's a very slow process in killing them all, But they understand my mission.
My Wife and I love to travel, was in Las Vegas the end of July and really enjoyed it, Will be in the Carribean the week before Christmas, I'm sure searching for Jimmy Buffett and knowing no matter what, it's 5'Oclock somewhere.
I have an interest in Amateur Radios, for the sole purpose of communication while 100 miles offshore, when phones, Marine Radios etc become useless. I always have a big fear of breaking down or having a problem that far offshore, even though my boat is equipped with twins, and are maticulously kept up, Communication of some sort is useful.
And of course my Pipe collection, in which I want to be as good with that hobby, and receive the benefits of smoking my pipe as my Paw,paw once did.
My hobbies are 40 hives of honeybees BBQ, Roasting Coffee, and converting various alcohols to urine.
As far as hobbies go...
I'm into Amateur Radio, Photography, Storm Spotting/Chasing, Camping, Shooting, Geocaching, Hiking, Cars...
I really need to narrow things down a bit.
Come on guys, you need to be posting up pics for us too.
Pictures of my #2 Hobby, Family Taking the Top of that list,
This is my Backyard into Lake Pontchartrain, approximately 5 Miles North of the Mississippi Sound and Gulf of Mexico Entrance. Pictured is Our WorldCat Catarmaran 250 Sports Fish with Twin 140 Zukes, both 4 Stroke engines, Fuel Capacity 100 Gallons each Tank, 200 Gallon Total, She's 26' LOA, and is sitting in a 35' Slip. Motors and Bow Pulpit take up approx 34' of the slip.
This is a Picture of her "The Nauti Kitty" sitting on her Tri-Axle Trailer, Getting ready to be pulled to the shop for annual servicing, Pictured from the rear, with Twin 140 Suzuki Engines, Dive ladder, Basically the only way to board her from Land. It's hard to get an eye on her from this angle, But she sits appox 13' in the air out of the water, To give you an Idea, Most Tractor Trailers extend into the air approx 13'6".
This Picture is of the Center Console, "The Helm" Dual Controlls, Power Steering etc, Behind that Tinted Glass Locked up is her Electronics package, Garmin, Fish Finder, Sounder, GPS, 3D with Fish Eye View, etc, along with a Marine Series Sony AM/FM/CD + MP3 Dock, Not Pictured, Directly Above The Helm, Is another Locked up Electronics Compartment, Housing her Marine Radios, Backup GPS unit, etc.
In This Picture, Is Her sitting beside of my F-150 and in front of our 3 Story Home on the Lake, The Guys at work like this picture to give you a better idea of her size out of the water.
This Picture is of me Hauling her to the Shop for her Annual Checkup, Most small repairs can be done in the slip, Although once a year, we take her out of the slip and take her to the shop for all Services, any additional add on's, and gives us a chance to inspect her hulls, replace any through Hulls, Bildge Pumps etc.
These are just a few Pictures I had on my IPhone, I uploaded to Photobucket for show and tell,I usually don't get a lot of computer time at home with 4 Kids and a Wife on 2 Computers, and 1 being a laptop.
That's what I'm talking about....what a great boat....you are indeed a lucky man.
I'm a car guy, I obsess about my next car purchase all the time. The next car I'm going to buy is probably going to be a Boxster S and then finding a Zeintec Hard Top for it (which may be close to impossible, since Zeintec has closed their doors).
But what color Boxster will you get?
Either silver or white.
The two most popular car colors in the world
Cause they look nice
Back yard astronomy myself. Love spending the night out with a good pipe and my telescope.
Let's see a pic of your telescope.
My major hobby, actually, is music. Have a nice amount of guitars, electric and acoustic, and two basses. And I am a bit of a computer geek, but not as much as I used to be.
let's see them guitars.
Theres a pick of my scope sorry for the delay. Its a a 70mm refractor with a 350mm focal length. Come tax time im buying a 8 inch Dobsonian.
My guitar is my main hobby. It has taken me all over this country back in my younger days and has allowed me to meet some very fantastic people. Outside of that. I am told I am a jack of all trades.
I have had numerous hobbies too many to mention, but I think i tried to get them to take the place of my guitar. At one point in time i blamed the guitar for a lot of stuff in my life.
But as i get older, Fishing and Hunting are my mainstays, they help me to put food on the table, plus i get to get out and see what last bit of land God created that man hasnt messed up in some form or fashion.
I am also a self taught Knife maker. I have my own shop, albeit a small one, my own forge and good steel as well as tons of RR Spikes.
Ohhh My latest two hobbies i picked up at the same time, Pipes.....and well dont laugh...Yo-Yos lol.
Scott . Some pictures of your knife work would rock. I do blacksmithing too. Finally am able to produce a decent pattern weld blade.
Poker player, writer.
My hobbies other than pipe smoking and collecting center around the outdoors
fly fishing
hunting with recurve bow
firearm hunting
Ok, I'll jump in again. This is what I did for fun up to a couple of years ago. This boat is identical to the one I had. If you find in interesting don't miss the other videos that pop up at the bottom of the screen when finished. Enjoy!
videos are even better than the pics.
Well sorry, no Pictures (since I am at work and NOT working), but classic VW's and Motorcycles are two other past times asides from pipes that I love, then there is a laundry list of others camping, fishing, etc....
I am an amateur classical musician, a student of the violin. I also am a gun enthusiast prefer to hunt upland birds with side by sides but shoot sporting clay and skeet with an over/under. I truly suck at trap, shooting in the low 90s....
Scuba only occasionally now as traveling as I do, when I get home, the last thing I want to do is......travel some more!
Just some of the things I'm into::

Ok, and what do you do in your spare time?
I puff the lucky favored one of the day from my pipe collection of course.
Scott . Some pictures of your knife work would rock. I do blacksmithing too. Finally am able to produce a decent pattern weld blade.
unclearthur, here is the very first knife i ever forged. Up to this point i had made 1 knife by stock removal. I then saved up and got my first forge off of ebay, and for an anvil i have a piece of railroad rail, that is welded to a steel frame for me to hammer on. I am learning as I go lol
Very cool knife. Blacksmithing is on my list of things to do once I get 10+ hours of free time a day.
Seriously, Mortgage underwriting is taking over my life. Working on a MBA and then a woodturning business all keep me from the important things in life.
Not at all bad knife work. I started out with a piece of track . Now several anvils later I have a 127# Peter Wright and an 87# Lakeside.
well i am in the process of getting an anvil....till i discovered the pipe lol. But there is one on a farm I used to haul grain from. I think the farmer said it was 150lber, and he said as far as he knew, his great grandfather is the one who acquired it. He wants a fair price for it, meaning hes not trying to get rich off of it, so eventually I will get the anvil. Plus its already bolted down to a huge piece of tree trunk and its just my height.
Super! Do you ever go to iforgeiron.com? Great bunch over there.
Yes i do. and am also a member of quiet a few knifemaker forums. Gotta learn somehow lol.
I am on there as well. I use Finnr over there as a sign in name .
Shooting antique target rifles and muzzleloaders
Collecting Skateboards
Old Hot Wheels cars
Pocket Knives
Cast Iron Mechanical Banks
And more...
Here are some shots of other stuff I do
Bladesmithing :
and another wheel:
Great looking knife! blade looks damascus even. Your skill really shows thru.
I use to be into antique radios, repairing, finding old tubes. But I also have an "ex" and moved to an apartment. Could'nt have tubes and radios/parts filled from top to bottom, parted with it all. Also needed money at the time. But I still admire them and love watching the radio come to life with the glow and I kept my first radio and most rare tube. I could probably sell that tube and buy a Dunhill, lol. I wont. I like to ice-fish and military history. oh' yeah, I'm a hockey nut!
I have always made the Native American Flute and hand carved hiking sticks and canes. Add to that my Wife of 51 years,
4 children, 13 gramdchildren, and 3 great grand kids, AND MY PIPES, and you have my whole life. Which I Love/
You can look up Papa John and Daniel and Papa John on Amazon and hear some samples of my recordings.

wow, wait a minute, do you have a website for your flutes? I just discovered Native American Flute music and have started buying Scott August, and Coyote Oldman CD's. You've gotta post up some pics or links on your flutes.
Cool stuff.
You are right Briar Bully the knife is pattern weld in a random twist pattern. That one is now someplace around Minneapolis.
I'm a golfer, a watcher, a reader and a listener.
When the weather is nice, I'm walking the fairway, or heading into the woods, depending on how my swing is holding up. I don't take golf too seriously, but I sure do enjoy it. It's my favorite pasttime. Nothing else comes close.
What I watch:
Sports -- baseball, football, hockey and, of course, golf. Classic movies and movies that should be considered classic.
What I read:
Political history, sports history, biographies and fiction (I'm currently into the Steig Larrson trilogy.
What I listen to:
Blues, real rock 'n' roll, country and western, big band and jazz (does it get any more eclectic?).
And I love to cook -- indoors and on the Weber in the backyard.
My favorite beverages are: a pale ale, authentic American lager, lemonade, Pepsi One and black coffee.
I also enjoy (sometimes) yard work. Please don't tell my wife.
I routinely honor bad books by reading them, paint some, garden, bicycle, barbecue (low and slow), and pick up and cellar Italian wines in a very offhand way. I have been known to play the accordion when nobody's around (with a wife and three kids that's not very often).
You should like this video clip then.
camping, fishing, good music, all kinds. have 89/30ft avion camper and 2008/36ft mountainer camper, tow rig 2005/3500 dsl ram. gave up hunting about 20 years ago.
So I shall make use of that conveniently placed bump above me.
Hobbies... I have been animating for 2 or 3 years (click on my avatar for my youtube channel to see some short films)
I really enjoy it.
Also crafting, mostly with wood, right now I haven't made anything that's really worth posting.
Music has gotten somewhat of my interest, I have played trumpet for 5 or 6 years and right now I'm practicing harmonica.
I like to fiddle with electronics too, although I don't like how small and compact everything is getting lately, it makes it harder to fiddle with the stuff.
anything with my wife
Hunting,large game,small game and recently pheasant hunting
Fishing,both fresh water and ice fishing
Shooting clays at the gun club I belong to
My kids,they play alot of sports
Of course my pipes,not just smoking them but the occasional polishing,cleaning and refacing the stems
Riding my Harley
Training my Lab
...and keeping busy during the winter months since we moved to upstate NY
[quote]Training my Lab
Got pictures of the Labrador Retriever?
Since the thread got refreshed, I thought I'd chime in as well.
Aside from my briars, I am an avid rock climber. When I can't go outside, I usually spend 3-4 days a week in the climbing gym.
On a more mellow note, I enjoy reading good books, playing board games with my wife and friends, a good glass of Scotch, writing, backpacking, hiking and the like.
That sums it up.
One of my other main hobbies apart from the Photography and camera collecting would have to be my bike. Had her for coming up close to a year and as the weather is starting to get a bit milder i'll definitely be on the hunt for that illusive perfect English biking road again.
Here's some pics
OH man I have had 3 VFR's. Are you a member of the VFR Discussion.com forum?
Here are my former bikes:
We converted one over to all CBR600 F4i bodywork with a new aluminum subframe I fabbed up and installed a Micron Titanium Ultralite(1 1/2 lbs.) muffler which can be heard here.
It started out looking like this
Ended up looking like this:
This was my last one:
Oh wow, those are nice. The NC30 is my first proper bike after a couple of years on 125's. Amazing bikes but am now after something a bit bigger when the money allows. There's not much out there at the moment around the 600cc size that is too different.
I love the V4's and the sound they make is incredible. Am thinking about a Triumph Daytona 675, the 3 cylinder is just that little bit different enough
By the way, how much of a pain in the butt are those white wheels to keep clean eh
alot of pain and suffering keeping them looking mint condition..that bike was just too pretty to ride.
Making wine (taste testing it!)
My trumpet& guitar
Collecting watches (pockets are my favorite)
Gardening, I love my fruits to make wine. I've been thinking this spring, I might try my hand at growing some tobaccos. I found some seeds online.
Check out the how to grow tobacco forums.Great guys there:
Thanks! That was one of the sites I had seen that sparked my thoughts.
My family (wife and kids), sailing, cooking, travel. Most likely in that order.
[quote]My trumpet& guitar
What kind of trumpet do you play?
I got a new hobby -- making snuff from the various tobaccos lying around my house. I also decided against a hobby today, snus. This is of course after getting talked into to buying a bit to try yesterday by the 7/11 clerk. It tastes good and all, but I'd really rather put a bit of jerky up there -- it may sound weird but I've been doing it since I was a kid and got my first pack of big league chew jerky, though I've long since swapped to full pieces I just chew up a bit first.
I guess my Hobby would be carving. I'm not overly experienced or talented.
Just doodling with wood.
I make tampers and pipe tools.... when the mood hits me.
Here is one of my latest.
Lawrence: I didn't know you have carving skills, you've been holding out on us.
That's pretty sweet lawrence! Would love to see some more...

Officials praise highly rated schools
District begins week of ceremonies at 32 honored locations
The gold, red and blue seal that Corpus Christi ISD officials presented to the Early Childhood Development Center on Friday was just as big as the school's youngest students.
More than 150 students in pre-kindergarten to fifth grade clapped, jumped and shouted as CCISD interim superintendent Scott Elliff and several board members on Friday began a weeklong tour of the district's campuses that have received Recognized and Exemplary ratings from the Texas Education Agency.
"This is a great opportunity to let the kids know how much we appreciate their hard work and let the teachers know how much we appreciate their hard work," Elliff said.
Christine Marroquin, Early Childhood Development Center principal, said every year presents new challenges for the school's teachers and students to maintain the Recognized rating. But Friday was all about celebration.
"These means an awful lot to us," Marroquin said, patting the seal.
This year, the number of Corpus Christi Independent School District's recognized schools nearly doubled. Thirty campuses received a Recognized rating from TEA, and two campuses were named Exemplary.
Rankings are based on student performance on the state-mandated Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills as well as dropout rates and graduation rates.
Exemplary CCISD Schools
Garcia Elementary
Windsor Park Elementary
Recognized CCISD Schools
Allen Elementary
Barnes Elementary
Browne Middle
Calk Elementary
Carroll Lane Elementary
Casa Linda Elementary
Central Park Elementary
Chula Vista Elementary
Crockett Elementary

Oct. 3, 2009
ALBUQUERUQUE, N.M. - Sophomore Jennifer Williams has done it again. The Moreno Valley, Calif., native scored the game-winner in the 46th minute of the match to guide the Lobos to a 1-0 victory over the TCU Horned Frogs tonight. For the first time in four years and for the first time since 2002 the Lobos have earned nine wins and improve to 9-1-2 on the season and 1-0 in Mountain West Conference play. The Horned Frogs fall to 7-5-0 on the season and 0-1 in MWC play.
"It feels good right now," said head coach Kit Vela. "It always feels good to get the first conference win out of the way. The girls played hard and they showed a lot of character in the last minutes. I'm real proud of their efforts."
The Lobos lone goal was created by a beautiful back-heel pass from junior Alexis Ball that hit Williams in stride at the top of the box. Williams darted her way through the defense and put a ball past Horned Frog keeper Kelsey Walters to put the Lobos on top for good.
Williams scored her ninth goal of the season and 13th of her career. Her 23 points on the season gives Williams sole possession of fifth place all-time at New Mexico for points in a season. Her 13th career goal puts her in a tie for fifth place all-time.
The game-winning goal was Williams sixth of the season and seventh of her career. Williams now has sole possession of second place all-time at UNM for game winners in a season and passed current teammate Ball, for third place all-time for game-winners in a season.
Ball dished out her second assist of the season and the sixth of her career.
The Lobo defense held the TCU offense - who came into tonight match averaging 2.18 goals per game - scoreless and with only four shots on goal. The Lobo backline of senior Jess Quador, junior Elizabeth Lambert and sophomores Gianna Cavuoto and Roxie McFarland were able to hold the conference's top point scorer, Jordan Calhoun to only three shots with one on frame.
Redshirt Freshman Kelli Cornell picked up her ninth win and eighth shutout of the season. The win puts Cornell in a tie for fourth place all-time at UNM for wins a single season and the shutout puts her in a tie for third place all-time for shutouts in a single season. Cornell made three saves on the night.
The Lobos will finish a five-match home stand against Wyoming on Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. MT and against Air Force on Oct. 10 at 5 p.m. MT. For more information please visit www.GoLobos.com.

The region's public colleges say their creativity in attracting minority students means the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling on affirmative action won't force them to change policies.
That's because, they said, race plays no role in whom they admit to their schools and whom they don't.
But admitting more minority students is still a key mission. So admission officers turn to different methods like targeted recruitment to bring qualified minority students to their schools.
"I think that any public research institution that is using race as a factor in admissions needs to go back and review what they are doing," said Mel Tyler, vice chancellor of student affairs at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. "There are plenty of qualified minority students out there.… Race should not be a factor."

Handel's Messiah performed by the Minnesota Orchestra
If you've heard Handel's Messiah a hundred times - or perhaps never - you're in for something special Friday, December 21 at 8 p.m. This is a Messiah for those who've heard it countless times, or who want to discover for the first time why this piece is so beloved.
Cantus Live at Westminster Presbyterian Church

Cantus Live from Westminster Presbyterian Church

Virginia is a story about a single mom who is trying to make ends meet to raise her son Emmett. While she is doing this, she is also dreaming of the time where she will be able escape from the small Southern boardwalk town they are currently living in. While all of these things are happening she is also going through a long time affair with a married man, Mormon Sheriff Richard Tipton. Things seem to be getting out of hand and the struggles of this single mother will bring you to a rollercoaster ride of emotion. A touching and funny drama that covers the struggle of one person when it comes to keeping it together. Virginia received a local premiere recently and here's an article on what can be expected on this upcoming movie:
"Virginia Starring Ed Harris and Jennifer Connelly Introduced In A Local Premier
SAUGATUCK, MI — "Virginia," the film starring Jennifer Connelly and Ed Harris that shot in West Michigan in 2009 , will make its local debut at the Waterfront Film Festival in June.
Written and directed by Dustin Lance Black, the movie will show at 9 p.m. June 16 at the Saugatuck Yacht Services venue. Tickets, $12, are on sale now at the Waterfront website . Filmmakers and some cast members will attend the screening, according to a press release.
"Virginia" is scheduled for a limited release in Los Angeles, New York and other markets in mid-May. The June 16 debut will be its first West Michigan screening.
The movie was filmed in Holland and several other lakeshore-area locales. The story is set in Virginia Beach. Connelly plays an eccentric single mother in a small town; she's tangled in a longstanding affair with Harris' sheriff, who's running for office. Emma Roberts plays Harris' daughter.
Formerly known as "What's Wrong with Virginia?," the movie, produced by Holland's TicTock Studios, debuted at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. The movie has since been recut, and picked up by Entertainment One for distribution earlier this year.
The story is based loosely on events from Black's childhood. "In the past, I've described my untraditional childhood to people and they'd say that it sounded so dark," Black said in a press release. "I would tell them that it was actually a lot of fun. I got to do a lot of things that other children never got to do because the rules were so different."
Black, who stirred up controversy at Hope College for speaking openly about homosexuality, won an Oscar for writing the screenplay for "Milk." He most recently wrote the script for the biopic "J. Edgar."
The Waterfront Film Festival will take place June 14-17 in downtown Saugatuck."
You can view the entire article at Mlive
Virginia will be released in theaters on May 18th 2012 which is written and directed by Dustin Lance Black. The movie stars Jennifer Connelly, Ed Harris, Emma Roberts, Carrie Preston and Toby Jones. Virginia is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) due to some sexual content and language.

Step 1: Supplies
some wood
something to cut wood with, how about a 10" miniature table saw from MicroMark! Yay! I love this thing. My new favorite tool.
watercolor paints (or prismacolor pens)
two cups of water
can of shellac or other finish
soldering iron or wood burning tool.
safety goggles (to keep the smoke out of your eyes)
Step 2: Draw on wood
Print your design out in mirrored form. Trace over the lines heavily with pencil.
Turn the drawing over and tape it into place on the wood surface.
On the back of your drawing, scribble heavily with pencil or burnishing tool. This will transfer the pencil lines of the drawing to the wood surface.
Remove the paper and trace over your drawing using pencil in any spots that did not transfer well.
Some other instructables that discuss different ways of transferring images to other surfaces:
Step 3: Etch the design into the wood
Trace over all the lines of your design slowly with the soldering iron to create a bold deep line.
At first I tried an actual wood burning tool but I found that it took way too long to heat up and got way too hot to handle after a short while.
The soldering iron heats up quickly and you can work with it for longer periods.
You'll want some goggles to keep the smoke out of your eyes. It smells nice, but it will dry your eyes out if too much smoke gets in them.
Some other instructables that discuss wood burning:
Step 4: Erase all the pencil lines
Thank you so much for this neat Instructable.
Another suggestion--I've started using fiber reactive dyes (tie-dye dye) in place of wood stain or aniline dyes. After all, what is wood? Cellulose. What are cotton t-shirts made of? Cellulose. Fiber dyes are Way Way cheaper than aniline dye designed for wood, and are available is almost unlimited colors.
lets leave it as it is, not subject a person to buying huge expensive toys to make simple things. If you were mass producing then this is an excellent idea, but for a person doing art or a one time thing and this is perfect.
While it is very cool to do projects using laser cutters and 3 d printers, they are not cheap, and there is a learning curve.
This instructable is great, as is.
i havnt used my old soldering iron in months!!
never occurred to me to use it for wood etching

(if youre a wolf its to get the point it works on all)
Now the real work start but remember after this there is no way back:
M-shifting can be said to be really easy. Now you know how wolves behave you start to apply that behavior on youreself.
So you growl or show youre teeth if someone is pissing you off.
You yelp if youre hurt.
You howl at the moon.
But acting like a wolf isn't enough, you have to think like one. It has to be youre second nature, it isn't like you need to think if you should growl.No you just growl you are not a men or women o pretends to be a wolf no you are a wolf your just in human form.
Try to practise this as much as possible, once youre doing it without thinking you are ready for thenext step.
