You picked the right time, Ice. Currently 7:30 AM here, I have the next 5 days off, 4 Day weekend (Thursday right now) and today off, I decided to stay up all night wandering the internet, went to check the SETI boards, no change, got breakfast, came back and answered the problem....

Best Regards,
Luke.

Well done Luke, you got them right ;)
