Okay. John, and just a real quick follow up to that. If you look at these projects in the Middle East, what do you think in terms of - you said that they''d be done basically by the beginning of next year, in general. Is that when we can start focusing on the rest or--?

John A. Fees

No, the pipeline phase of these projects go on, basically they step out, but they go on through basically 2009, through 2009 and once the projects goes and dribbles up a little bit into ''10. So it''s pretty much from now through the end of next year for the pipeline phase then there are other aspects of these projects that will go beyond that.

Hi Steve.

Michael S. Taff

Good morning Steve.

Stephen Gengaro - Jefferies & Co.

Just as a follow-up, when you both...I guess certain assets, I guess about a year ago plus, our thought was they would help efficiency and execution and I''m just trying to get a better sense for asset utilization and efficiency and how we should think about the overall business? I mean, it''s real tough to sort of think about the efficient use of your asset on these jobs and other jobs. Is it something which could snowball and get worse?

Michael S. Taff

Stephen, I don''t think so. I mean when we bought this Secunda asset, those assets are certainly being used today. I think we''ve talked in the past that there was 12 or 14 of those vessels that we acquired. A number of them are still on charter up in the Canadian market. There were really kind of four of those vessels that we really coveted; two of those are actively working in the Middle East and/or Asia Pacific market. The other two are in the process of being retrofitted. But those are not project...those are not vessels that can go out and particularly lay this type of pipes, large trunk line pipe, they''re more support vessels.

The whole idea of the Secunda acquisition was they can do...we can support our diving operations from those and do some kind of tie in work and stuff like that. So, once the pipelines have been laid, we can bring those vessels in and then kind of finish off the finishing touches and then send our more expensive vessels, the large Derrick barges on to other projects. And that’s certainly, all incorporated in the scheduling of these projects.
