Dear Mr. Bartlett:

We have reviewed your supplemental response letter dated August
22,
2005 as well as the above referenced filing and have the following
comments.  As noted in our comment letter dated February 18, 2005,
we
have limited our review to your financial statements and related
disclosures and will make no further review of your documents.
Where
indicated, we think you should revise your documents in response
to
these comments.  If you disagree, we will consider your
explanation
as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is
unnecessary.
We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or any
other
aspect of our review.  Feel free to call us at the telephone
numbers
listed at the end of this letter.

Form10-K/A for the fiscal year ended August 28, 2004

Item 9A Controls and Procedures

1. In light of the fact that you restated the financial statements
for the period ending August 28, 2004, we believe the principal
executive and principal financial officers need to re-evaluate
their
original conclusions surrounding the effectiveness of their
disclosure controls and procedures (DCP) as of the end of the
period
covered by the original report. At a minimum, we expect disclosure
explaining that Company`s management continues to believe the DCP
were effective and why the principal executive and principal
financial officers continue to believe the DCP were effective,
after
considering the fact that the financial statements were required
to
be restated. In addition, if applicable, the company should
disclose
pursuant to Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K and Exchange Act Rule
12b-
20 what has been done to correct the internal control problems.

these
comments within 10 business days or tell us when you will provide
us

the amendment to expedite our review.  Please furnish a cover
letter
with your amendment that keys your responses to our comments and
provides any requested information.  Detailed cover letters
greatly
facilitate our review.  Please understand that we may have
additional
comments after reviewing your amendment and responses to our
comments.
