Grace Hunter and Jean Shirlaw are sisters and have been members of St. Luke's pretty well all of their lives. In fact, Jean was baptized in the original church and Whittingback Hall in our present church was named in honour of their parents and in recognition of all seniors who worked so hard on behalf of the parish. Both married their husbands, Forrest and Jim, in the original church and raised their daughters in the parish.
Grace and Jean started singing in the Junior Choir when they were eight years old. The rule at that time was they had to be able to read before they could join. They both went on to sing with the Senior Choir for many years. They are also hard working members of the Marthas and Marys.
As a young adult, Jean was sponsored by the Dioceses of Edmonton and Athabasca and the Women's Auxiliary to attend College, and upon her return to Edmonton, they paid her to be a youth worker in the Dioceses. She did this for a couple of years. She has participated in and/or helped with many other activities at St. Luke's: AYPA, Sunday School, and Lay Reader to name a few.
What do these ladies like about St. Luke's?
- Grace says it is a comfortable place to be
- They both think it is a FRIENDLY parish
- Grace likes to receive the "hug" when the peace is passed although that isn't mandatory
- Jean likes how the parish supports all events regardless of who does the organizing
- Jean thinks the addition of Outreach Programs has enriched the parish

Fiverr just landed $15 million in funding. Fiverr
It is quite the multiplier effect. Fiverr, a website that lets "micro-entrepreneurs" offer small services—such as a video clip of them singing "Happy Birthday" while wearing a silly costume—for $5 a pop, just landed $15 million in funding.
The funding round, led by Accel Partners and Bessemer Venture Partners, will allow the company, which employs 40 people in Israel, the United States, and in Europe, to double the size of its team and open a physical U.S. office, said cofounder Micha Kaufman, who added that the company is trying to decide between the Silicon Valley and New York City for its location.
Fiverr has grown 600 percent in transaction volume since the beginning of 2011, and has users in 200 countries, although most interact in English. Kaufman says the international expansion was a bit of a surprise, but he attributes it to a model that is universal in appeal. He and cofounder Shai Wininger want to do for the services economy what eBay did for e-commerce.
"This has been growing very, very fast—it caters to so many people from so many different cultures and languages," Kaufman told Portfolio.com. "Today, everyone has a skill that can be of benefit to someone else. It speaks to a primal need."
Founded two years ago, the company has now raised a total of $20 million, with a previous round of financing led also by Bessemer, as well as angel investors Guy Gamzu and Jonathan Kolber.
Customers have the choice of using PayPal or a credit card to pay. Fiverr provides the secure platform for the transactions and ensures that the work is performed as promise before they go through.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

URGENT: Attend the right-to-work lobby day TOMORROW at the state Capitol
Legislation to make Michigan a so-called "right-to-work" state could be introduced literally any moment now. MEA members are urged to come to Lansing TOMORROW to join a team of citizen lobbyists in telling lawmakers to vote NO on right-to-work.
It is critical to have a strong showing from MEA members at the Capitol tomorrow. School employees and retirees must make their presence felt and their voices heard.
MEA members will meet tomorrow morning at the Michigan AFL-CIO, 419 S. Washington Ave. in Lansing, to undergo a quick training before departing for the Capitol. Members will receive key updates, talking points and everything else they need to take action.
Here's the rundown of activities:
7:30 a.m.: Arrive at the Michigan AFL-CIO for training and materials
8:15 a.m.: Depart for the Capitol
8:30 a.m.: Begin attending key hearings, visiting legislative offices and visiting Gov. Rick Snyder's office
9:30 a.m.: Second round of training at the Michigan AFL-CIO begins for those unable to make the earlier training
10 a.m.: Attend the Senate session and lobby senators from the floor
Noon: Attend the House session and lobby representatives from the floor
2 p.m.: Attend additional hearings
3:30 p.m.: Return to the AFL-CIO for a debriefing session

Pipe Threads
When we talk about pipe fittings, it means that fittings are used to connect two or more pipes in two wayseither by threads or by slip fit. While metal pipes are threaded, the plastic pipe can be threaded or slip fit. A threaded pipe has screw-threaded ends for assembly or they screw together to connect.
For pipe thread sizes, ½14 NPT identifies a pipe thread with a nominal inside diameter of ½ inch and 14 threads to the inch and these threads are made according to the NPT standard. The pipe has a left hand thread if LH is added. The pipe thread standards followed in US are:
Because of the taper, a pipe can only screw into a pipe fitting a little distance before it jams. The standard represents this distance, the effective thread. The standard also represents another distance, the engagement, which is the distance the pipe can be screwed in by hand, without much effort. For workers, it is more easy to know how many turns to make by hand or with a wrench.
Types of threads:
Various threads available in pipe and pipe fittings are as follows:

Monsanto is generating new disease complexes
Teams of medical researchers in Parkville, Australia and in Albany, Ohio have identified specific proteins present in Monsanto GMO grains. These engineered proteins trigger gluten sensitivity and can instigate celiac disease. Internationally, we have been experiencing epidemic levels of gluten intolerance: over 40% – virtually half the US population – now cannot metabolize gluten. Celiac disease affects one in 133 Americans. If untreated, celiac is potentially fatal. According to CD support groups and information agencies, about 3 million Americans currently have CD, 97% of whom remain undiagnosed; moreover, 30% of the population has the genetic makeup predisposing towards CD. There is no drug which can treat CD. Meanwhile, we are seeing large numbers of infants already suffering from GERD. This breakdown of normal human digestion is directly attributable to the tampering with nature instigated Monsanto: this is clear from the studies mentioned below.
The research team at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Australia identified three proteins present in grains patented by Monsanto as disruptive to metabolic pathways, and as interfering with nearly all systems of the human body, generating inflammation and immune dysfunction. What the genetically engineered proteins do is disrupt inter-cellular communication: they prevent cells communicating with each other intelligently, as nature intended. The scrambling of this natural communication causes inflammation and disease.
Toxic Proteins in GMO grains
The offending proteins are listed as: w-5 gliadin (from wheat); g-3 hordein (from barley); and g secalins (from rye). Each if these triggers the production of anti-gliadin antibodies. This means that the body starts an immune response against these proteins. Once the antibody cascade has been triggered, inflammation sets in, normal functioning goes out the window, the immune system becomes imbalanced, and free radical cascades are fired off at the body's own tissues. In the case of celiac disease, this last part is very serious as it can cause irreversible damage to the small intestine.
These engineered grains, courtesy of Monsanto, have been added to a vast array of everyday processed foods including crackers, seasonings (including soy sauce and tamari), chips, cereals and breads.
Disrupted Frequencies
The research team at the Sound Health Research Center in Albany, using BioAcoustic Biology was able to translate the proteins from the Anderson study into bio-frequency markers. That is, they were able to identify specific frequencies emitted by these proteins. It is these frequencies that disrupt normal cellular communications.
In a way, this is analogous to what is going on at an environmental level with the proliferation of cell phone towers etc. The profusion of "dissonant" frequencies in the biosphere is part of a general electro-magnetic field pollution that is toxic to plants and animals, not just humans.
In ancient Greece, philosophers spoke about "The Music of the Spheres". What the old sages were referring to was a sacred set of frequencies emitted by the cosmos. These frequencies were transmitted throughout the natural realm. In native American tradition, this might be compared to the presence of the Great Spirit. What we have been experiencing with increasing severity, are levels of distortion induced by corporate and bio-technical forces. The net result is a break down of global ecology and a threat to planetary survival. What we examining here is just the tip of the ice berg: an implosion of digestive health that has already reached epidemic proportions.
Glutamine Disturbance
For the technically minded, the research has discovered that the engineered genes distort the way the body processes key amino acids. The worst case involves L-Glutamine, which, amongst other things, maintains the integrity of the intestinal wall. The genes therefore also interfere with the production and metabolism of glutamate, the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in our nervous systems, and which is also toxic at elevated levels. The Monsanto genes disturb the actions of a key enzyme responsible for utilizing L-glutamine. This enzyme is glutamate-decarboxylase (GAD). Glutamate needs to be converted by GAD into GABA.
GABA, it should be remembered, is an essential neurotransmitter that we require for remaining calm and balanced. Without adequate levels of GABA, we will likely suffer sleep deprivation and gnawing levels of anxiety. GABA is a natural tranquilizer and it helps to regulate minute sensors on cells that coordinate the delicate orchestration of signals running through us, including electrical and magnetic signals. These teeny tiny receptors are known as nanosensors as they are so minute. And GMOs disturb them and in so doing can induce disease pathways as varied as MS, Parkinson's, Arthritis, Crohn's, Celiac, Ulcerative Colitis, Seasonal allergies, Lupus, Schizophrenia, Bipolar and Autism. In truth, just abut any serious condition can begin with disturbance of the nanosensors. It is disturbance of nanosensor functioning which throws off the body's intelligence in a big way. And this is exactly what occurs with chemical and heavy metal toxins too, as has been demonstrated with mercury, arsenic, lead and cadmium.
The two genes present in mammals that encode for GAD are Gad 1 and Gad 2. Gad 1 is expressed in the brain, whilst Gad 2 is expressed in the pancreas. So what we are really seeing is that the Monsanto grains mess with our brains (central nervous systems) and our digestive organs by disturbing GAD, an absolutely vital enzyme. This disturbance is also highly carcinogenic as GAD interacts with the hormone calcitonin to protect against cancers. Without proper interaction with GAD, the calcitonin cannot do its protective work. So eating Monsanto grains also predispose us to cancer, thank you very much Texas.
So disturbances to GAD will lead to elevated levels of glutamate and decreased levels of GABA. In terms of frequencies, according to James Osman in his book, Energy Medicine, glutamate and aspartame emit very similar frequency signals. In other words, glutamate and artificial sweeteners such as aspartame tell cells to bring in specific biochemicals to receptor sites. If you like, these can be seen as rogue commands which destabilize health, just as we have seen that certain sounds or types of music can damage or destroy plant life.
Incidentally, aspartame is a part of MSG, which is also used as a stabilizer in certain vaccines.
How can we protect ourselves against these menaces to our health? As always, in health matters, there are two answers: public and private. Publicly, we must apply constant pressure to our politicians and legislators to rein in sociopathic enterprises such as Monsanto. Privately, to prevent GMO driven disease, we must turn to advanced alternative medicine practitioners who understand how to detoxify and restore our systems and protect against severe genetic, electromagnetic and bio-chemical disruption.

Just stuff for Tuesday (July 25, 2006)
July 25, 2003 (Three years ago today): The CrabAppleLane Blog was a few months old and I was fumbling around here much like I still do today when I stumbled on the Blog of the Day for that day. She had only been doing it a few weeks. I have linked that OH BOB post several times. That entry is one of my faves.
About todays BOTD: There are apparently many, many blogs out there devoted to Keith Olbermann. Many pro, many anti. I read his Bloggermann column but I almost never see Countdown. I suppose I should TiVo it to see what thats about. FWIW, Ive always liked him.
Linked...without comment.
44 days until football season...

Re: the QOTD, something tells me that when we get to that point, humanity will figure it out pretty darn quick. If they need volunteers, I'll go.
You know, for Mankind.
Mankind will appreciate your sacrifice, Dave.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
One thing Ive done is create accounts as needed then have a cron copy
the uploaded changes to the target directory. There are pros and cons.
It provides backups, and who did what changes, better logging, recovery,
ease of deleting one person without changing the password and notifing
everyone. Of course there are less crude methods of achieving all of that
but I tended to find the learning curve less for me since it used
features of the system that I easily understood and could work with.
Just an option.

Non Manipulation Certification
The Specialty Crops Inspection (SCI) Division Non Manipulation Certification provides assurance that the products identity was preserved and that it was stored under suitable conditions and the condition of the container shows no apparent signs of tampering or reprocessing.
This is accomplished by an on-site evaluation of a warehouse facility to assess the facilitys compliance with current regulatory, condition of container and industry requirements.
The results of a non manipulation certification can serve several purposes including:
to determine whether a warehouse processing facility adequately stored the food product;
to verify the identity of the food product (from point of origin to final destination); and
to determine whether the condition of the food container indicates a food product was reprocessed or manipulated during storage.
The Non Manipulation Certification service is available on a fee basis from USDAs SCI Division.

Free Jazz CD Concerts feature European sounds this weekend
The public is invited to enjoy two Jazz CD Concerts this Saturday (July 12) at Kwai Tsing Theater Auditorium and Sunday (July 13) at Tsuen Wan Town Hall Exhibition Gallery. Both concerts take place from 3pm to 5pm and admission is free.
Organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the "Come Rain Come Shine" Jazz CD Concerts aim at promoting appreciation of jazz music by playing a selection of the best Euro-Jazz from Scandinavia, France, Italy, Poland and elsewhere.
It is safe to say that American jazz is still the most popular form of this kind of music in Hong Kong. But concert appearances in recent years by stars such as Tango Orkestret of Denmark, Ulf Wakenius of Sweden, Laura Fygi of Holland and Silje Nergaard of Norway have stirred strong local interest in European jazz. Whether you're already a confirmed lover of jazz or just hoping to gain some insight into the music, these gatherings are not to be missed.
Your host and guide for both concerts will be Mr Clarence Chang, a music producer with over 20 years of experience and a strong passion for jazz.
He will explain what makes Euro-Jazz unique and illustrate his comments with selections from CDs.
Among the music to be heard will be Enrico Rava's "La Dolce Vita", Louis Winsberg's "Camino", Ulf Wakenius's "Enchanted Moment", and Lars Moller's "Colours".
For enquiries, call 2149 5872 or 2414 0144.

Southern Arkansas University was established by an
act of the Arkansas Legislature in 1909 as a district agricultural high school
for southwest Arkansas and was originally named Third District Agricultural
School. Students and faculty often called the school TDAS. Its first term began
in January of 1911 and until 1925 its curriculum included only subjects at the
secondary school level. In 1925, the state Legislature authorized the school to
add two years of college work and to change the name from Third District
Agricultural School to Agricultural and Mechanical College, Third District. The
school offered both high school and junior college courses until 1937, at which
time high school courses were discontinued. In the fall of 1949, the Board of
Trustees decided to develop the college as a four-year, degree-granting
institution. The Board authorized the addition of third-year college level
courses beginning in the fall of 1950 and fourth-year courses were added in
1951. By Act 11, dated Jan. 24, 1951, the state Legislature changed the name of
the institution to Southern State College. In 1975, the institution was approved
and accredited to offer a master of education degree in selected areas.
Following approval of the Board of Trustees, the name of the school was changed
to Southern Arkansas University.
History of the Mulerider Mascot
Southern Arkansas University sits on 1388 acres on
the northern edge of Magnolia, Ark. The University has spent more than $5

Florencio Wins Clasica San Sebastian
From the start, the racing was fast and aggressive. After three breaks had been reeled in, Yon Bru (Kaiku) escaped at 50 km. Bru's lead ballooned to 15:10 on the Category 2 Alto de Udana (99 km) before Euskaltel and Milram began to chase.
The bunch wiped out Bru's advantage within 75 km, and the Frenchman was caught with 46 km remaining, just before the field reached the base of the Category 1 Jaizkibel, the day's major climb. Quick Step, CSC, and Milram led the field up the climb, and Carlos Sastre (CSC) made the first move. Riccardo Ricco (Saunier Duval), Iban Mayo (Euskaltel), Frank Schleck (CSC), and Denis Menchov (Rabobank) joined Sastre on the attack.
Mayo's teammate Haimar Zubeldia and Giuliano Figueras (Lampre) joined the break, but Sastre, Mayo, and Menchov dropped their companions. At the summit of the climb, the trio led a 25-strong chase group by 0:20. On the descent, the chase group grew to 40 riders. Caisse d'Epargne drove the chasers for its man, Alejandro Valverde.
For a time, it appeared that the break might stay away. At the summit of the Category 3 Gurutze (211 km), the three escapees led the the pursuit by 0:24. Astana, however, joined Caisse d'Epargne at the front, and the trio's fate was sealed. With five km remaining, the bunch caught the break.
Kashechkin attacked but was reeled in. Kashechkin's teammate Alexander Vinokourov tried twice in the last three km, but the field was together with one km left.
George Hincapie (Discovery Channel) appeared at the front but dropped back and would finish ninth. Liquigas led out Garzelli, but Florencio appeared at the front with 600 m remaining. The Spaniard had Kashechkin on his wheel but attacked with 200 m left to earn the biggest victory of his career.
This race was a testing ground for several riders who will or hope to appear in the Vuelta a Espana, which begins on August 26. Sastre, who has ridden the other two Grand Tours this season and was attempting to see if he had the form to ride the Vuelta, finished 45th, one place ahead of Mayo. Valverde, who crashed out of the Tour de France with a broken collarbone, finished eighth. Menchov, last year's Vuelta champion, took 15th place.

Touring Exhibitions
Women with Clever Hands: Gapuwiyak Miyalkurruwurr Gong Djambatjmala
Touring nationally 2011-2013
Women With Clever Hands: Gapuwiyak Miyalkurruwurr Gong Djambatjmala features fibre work by women artists from Gapuwiyak in northeast Arnhem Land, developed by guest curator Louise Hamby. It is the first time the women of Gapuwiyak, past and present, have presented an array of their creative work in fibre. Their aesthetically beautiful works combine simple, functional shapes with intricate design, fine detail and subtle colour, all of which in turn, reflect the complexities of their land and their culture.
The group comes from Gapuwiyak, (meaning salty or bitter water), and is the Aboriginal name for their small, inland community situated in eastern Arnhem Land, 16 kilometers from the coast. Although today there are many clan groups living in Gapuwiyak, the landowners are Gapapuyngu who are one of the smaller groups of the population. The main clans within the community are Dhalwangu, Djambarrpuyngu, Marrangu, Wagilag and Ritharrngu. The majority of the artists live in the township and the others reside in the outstations surrounding Gapuwiyak.
Women with Clever Hands on display at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery, 2010
This exhibition has developed from 1995, when the relationship of the women with Louise Hamby, who was commencing her PhD studies, began. Through her work she set out to investigate the complex set of issues surrounding the making, meaning and use of fibre objects in the community. Women with Clever Hands has been nurtured through this exchange and is fortunate in being able to capture fifteen years of women's lives through their work. Lucy Malirrimurruwuy Wanapuyngu assisted Louise with the curation of this exhibition. She and many others are to be thanked and congratulated for their support.
Launched at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery in 2010, Women with Clever Hands will be touring nationally through 2011 to 2013, to Flinders University Art Museum in Adelaide, the Melbourne Museum, Tamworth Regional Gallery in NSW, and Craft ACT in Canberra.

The Xtrend ET4000 sets new standards in quality, value and amazing features. This amazing receiver boasts superb 1080p 50hz crystal clear HD picture quality and fast zapping. Xtrend ET4000 Linux operating system is able to run Enigma 2 based firmware, comes with 1x DVB-S/S2 fixed tuner, 2x CA (card reader), 1x CI (common interface slot) and great networking features. Powered by a 500Mhz Broadcom MIPS CPU, 512MB DDR3 RAM and 128MB flash. PVR ready, just add a USB external HDD (not included). Cool fan less silent running with external PSU. Amazing Korean build quality, beware of cheap Chinese models!
Supports popular Enigma 2 plugins, skins, 7day EPG and more!
Already massively popular around Europe with firmware support growing fast. Supported officially by OpenPLi, OpenAAF and the ViX Team!
echnical Data:
Order yours from our sponsor http://www.sat24store.com
• Attractive design
• High quality hardware
• Many connection options
• Internal 2.5 "SATA hard disk can be installed (optional)
• Exchangeable tuner DVB/S2, DVB /C(optional), and DVB/T(optional).
Xtrend ET 9000 made a strong impression when we reviewed it here on http://xtrend.webs.com. Now time has come for a brand new box from Xtrend, the Xtrend ET 6500. Read our review on this new box which features a plug and play tuner.
ET65000 comes as equipped with a DVB-S2 tuner installed ,but as it is a modular plug and play tuner, it is possible to take the DVB-S2 tuner out and replacing it with a DVB-C or DVB-T tuner.
Technical Data:
First impressions when unpacking is that the ET6500 lives up to Xtrend's other models in terms of build quality etc... One thing I'm really happy with is the looks, think it looks like a classy receiver, looks really smart in my opinion.
Fitted HDD and Connected up to motor dish, flashing OpenPli was a breeze, simply follow on screen instructions shown on the display. Transferred my Enigma 2 settings and I was up and running in less that 5 mins!
Picture quality is excellent in both SD & HD. Universal remote is a nice feature if you would like to be able to control your TV with the same remote. Zapping times are super fast, approx 1.63 seconds!
Scanning satellites is working is working spot on, just as good as my other Enigma 2 receivers.
If I'm honest I just can't fault anything about the Xtrend et6500, although some critics will say that it's priced a little high for a single tuner without actually looking at the specification of the receiver.
Obviously Xtrend ET6500 is far ahead its nearest competition - Vu+Uno! It has better, faster processor bigger flash memory and RAM.
Final words
After test driving the new ET6500 we can say that it certainly does not disappoint. It is a very successful Linux receiver which builds on the stability of the Xtrend by adding amazing speed and features by the way of the new and faster CPU.
The ET6500 impress us with its fast booting and channel zapping. We do recommend installing a third party image though for exposing all the settings and options on this box. Xtrend seems very active when it comes to supporting their receivers. The Xtrend Support Image runs absolutely stable, also supported officially by OpenPLi, OpenAAF, Power-Board, SIF , ViX and other Open Aliance teams!
If you are in the market for a rock solid single tuner box then look no further than the Xtrend ET6500.
Order yours from our sponsor http://www.sat24store.com
The Xtrend ET9000 is a Twin DVB-S2 tuner Linux satellite receiver with the ability to integrate hard disk, programable remote control and PiP feature (Picture in Picture) which is great if you want to watch 2 different football games at the same time.
Detail Information:
The first thing that i noticed with this receiver is the huge amount of memory it has 512mb DDR Memory. This is more than all of the similar competitive products. It is faster even then Vu+Duo. Design is a matter of taste, I think it looks exclusive. Behind the front flap on the box on the left you find 2 card readers and 2 ci slots. As with Enigma 2 boxes in general, the built in card readers require installations of softcams.
The built in tuners do support blind scan but there is no software support for this in Enigma 2 yet sadly. DiSEqC 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2/USALS is of course supported. The speed boost of the Broadcom 7405 or more memory does not speed up scanning for channels, it is pretty slow as with Enigma 2 receivers in general. But many users of this kind of box probably use settings downloaded from the web anyway. The channel editor for this, Dreamboxedit works without problems with the ET-9000.
Installation of a new Image couldn't be easier, Unzip the image onto USB stick. Put the USB stick into 1 of the 3 USB ports, switch on and the rest is taken care of..in no time it will be loaded up. Xtrend ET-9000 uses the well known Enigma2 frontend software which is very user friendly and allows the use of many plugins and add-ons.
There are several teams that support image development with this receiver and it will only get stronger. It can also use all the general SoftCams that are currently available. The installation of the hard drive is quite simple, but it does require that you take of the cover. Once installed Next thing to do then is initialize the HDD. So boot up the ET9000 again and once done press Menu > Setup > System > Harddisk > Initialization > Red > Yes and this will start doing the job, depending on the size of the drive this will take a few seconds to a few minutes! You can use and standard 3.5" SATA drive.
My honest thoughts on this one, it does exactly what you'd expect at the moment, if you are interested in the extras over the DUO like PIP and tuner loop-through per tuner plus the fanless operation then this has to be considered now, and with some good support from PLi, Black Hole, Egami and HdFreaks already and only likely to get better it does look a real contender just like the DUO was this time last year! Contact www.sat24store.com if interested in this, they have it in stock and available now!

Been testing one of the new Xtrend ET5000 receivers out over the past few days and I have to say, wow! It's got a Broadcom 7405 400MHz dual core processor (this means it's most likely to gain third party support and already has done from some BIG groups, OpenPLi, Vix, Egami for example), 256MB RAM, 2 card readers, fully supports 3D and a first for Enigma2 receivers, supports blind scan! Xtrend ET5000 has an external PSU, this would result in less heat being generated inside the receiver. Build quality is excellent, just as good as any Dreambox or VU+ receiver. Remote control feels nice. There is no front panel display on these but 3 different coloured LEDs and it's real easy to flash new firmware, just download your firmware, put the ET5000 fold in the root of a USB stick, put the stick in any of the USB ports (there are 3 in total, 1 front and 2 rear) then hold the up arrow on the front of the receiver and the new firmware will start flashing, it's as easy as that! You'll need an external USB of some description if you want PVR functions, there is no option for an internal HDD on the ET5000, external USB drives seem to work great though!
Overall I think this is a fantastic little receiver that will give any linux Enigma 2 a good run for its money with its dual core Broadcom CPU and 256mb of DDR ram its works really fast! Faster than any DM800 I've tried and just as fast as its bigger brother the ET9000! Contact www.sat24store.com if interested in this, they have it in stock and available now!

The Round 7 of the regular season is in the books, but not before some history was made, milestones were reached, and two more teams from Group C – Fenerbahce Ulker Istanbul and Panathinaikos Athens – clinched their places in the Top 16. One game was decided in the final second, and three teams rallied from double-digit deficits as home teams ruled the action in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague this week, winning eight of 12 games.
In an outstanding game at Barclaycard Center, Unics Kazan upset Real Madrid 75-85 to send a message which echoed all around the continent. Unics dominated the game from the start of the second half and cruised to a well-deserved and very important win, while snapping Madrid's 21-game Turkish Airlines Euroleague home winning streak. D'or Fischer took over against his former team with 25 points, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks, while Curtis Jerrells added 23 points. On Friday, Anadolu Efes Istanbul defeated Dinamo Banco di Sardegna Sassari 85-62 behind a fine effort from Dario Saric. The promising forward tallied 18 points and 11 rebounds as Efes outrebounded its counterpart 52-36. The victory put Efes in a tie for first alongside Madrid. In an intense showdown, Zalgiris Kaunas downed Nizhny Novgorod 55-61 after trailing by as many as 17! James Anderson paced the winners with 18 points. Nizhny took charge early and extended its margin to 37-20 near halftime, but Anderson led a 0-13 run which brought Zalgiris within 37-33. Andersen teamed with Lukas Lekavicius to take charge late and the Zalgiris defense stifled the hosts to secure a well-deserved road win.
In a clash of two Euroleague giants, CSKA Moscow routed Maccabi Electra 61-84 in Tel Aviv, improving to 7-0 record and clinching a top-two finish in the group. The visitors led from start to finish, pulling away to a double-digit lead for good in the third quarter. Sonny Weems scored 19 points to lead five CSKA players in double figures including Sasha Kaun, who had 15 points and 10 rebounds. Reggie Redding scored in the last second as ALBA Berlin rallied to edge Unicaja Malaga 79-78 in the German capital on Thursday. The visitors led by double figures in the third quarter, but ALBA stormed back with a 14-2 run, and won it in a thrilling fashion. Redding finished the game with 17 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. On Friday, Cedevita Zagreb beat Limoges 102-83 to keep alive its hopes of advancing to the Top 16. With Miro Bilan dominating inside with career-high 24 points and Fran Pilepic hitting five three-pointers on the way to career-high 21 points, Cedevita took control in the first quarter and maintained a double-digit lead for the better part of the game. Limoges hit 15 triples on the night, but Cedevita had 31 assists, and broke the game open with a 12-0 run in the fourth quarter to improve to 2-5.
Three teams from Group C already have their Top 16 ticket punched. Already-qualified FC Barcelona fended off EA7 Emporio Armani Milan 84-80 after trailing by 14. Milan built its margin early in the second quarter, and still led 43-54 in the third, but Barcelona went on an 11-2 run to take the lead. The game went to the wire and Barcelona scored the final 5 points of the game to improve to 7-0. Ante Tomic scored 18 points and Mario Hezonja had 13 in victory. Panathinaikos Athens defeated Bayern Munich 87-72 to charge into the Top 16 once again. A.J. Slaughter and Antonis Fotsis fueled a 13-2 run to close the half, and the Greens were never threatened again. Slaughter scored 17, and Loukas Mavrokefalidis stepped up with 16 points in victory. The win by Panathinaikos also gave a Top 16 passage for Fenerbahce Ulker Istanbul, which downed PGE Turow Zgorzelec 89-74 on Thursday. Fener led from start to finish for its third consecutive victory. Behind Andrew Goudelock and Bogdan Bogdanovic, Fenerbahce stormed out of the gate, opened up 19-2 lead and never relinquished it. A strong finish to the third and a 9-1 run to start the fourth quarter broke the game wide open, as Fenerbahce cruised to victory with Goudelock netting 21 points, and Nemanja Bjelica collecting a double-double of 14 points plus 10 rebounds.
On a historic night in the Game of the Week, Laboral Kutxa Vitoria beat Olympiacos Piraeus 89-70 to get an important win in the hunt for a place in the Top 16. Laboral, which scored its 25,000th Euroleague point during the second quarter, took the lead for good in the first and pulled away to bigger ones with a 9-0 run to start the second half. Thomas Heurtel netted 18 points, and Davis Bertans had 17 in victory. Pacing the Reds with 27 points was Vassilis Spanoulis, who became the fourth Euroleague player this century to reach 2,500 in his career. Crvena Zvezda Telekom Belgrade downed Neptunas Klaipeda 79-62, improving to 4-3 and taking another step towards the Top 16 on Thursday. Boban Marjanovic paced the winners with 24 points on 11-of-13 two-point shooting plus 12 rebounds. Jaka Blazic added 19 points for Zvezda, which used a 12-0 third-quarter run to break the game open. On Friday, Valencia Basket topped Galatasaray Liv Hospital 78-71 to keep alive its Top 16 chances. Valencia used a 12-2 first quarter run to grab the lead, and it never relinquished it. The hosts led by as many as 17 points early in the fourth quarter, but Pietro Aradori and Carlos Arroyo cut the final deficit to 7 points, which is the exact margin of Galatasaray's win their first meeting in Istanbul. Kresimir Loncar paced the winners with 15 points, and Luke Harangody collected 13 points and 8 boards. Aradori finished with 20 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in defeat.

Once again, a court has upheld an employer's right to deny employment to a smoker.
Some states do give some protections to smokers when it comes to employment. But in this Massachusetts case – Rodrigues v. EG Systems d/b/a/ Scotts LawnService – the U.S. District Court dismissed the lawsuit filed by Scott Rodrigues against Scotts LawnService.
Rodrigues claimed Scotts denied him employment when the company learned of his smoking, violating his right to privacy... and violating the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) that protects an employee's right to employee benefits.
Here's what happened. The Scotts company in early 2006 began to test prospective employees for nicotine as part of its "Live Total Health" initiative. Scotts described this initiative as a Wellness plan, including the goal to reduce smoking among employees. Under this initiative, Scotts prohibits employees from using tobacco at any time and also provides resources to help smokers quit smoking. In addition, it's Scott's policy to not hire tobacco users.
In late 2006, Rodrigues applied for work with Scotts. He received an "offer of employment" letter, read it, and signed it. The letter stated his employment with Scotts was "contingent upon successful completion of a pre-hire screening required of all Scotts' associates which includes but is not limited to a drug screen (including nicotine test where applicable by law) and criminal history." Rodrigues volunteered a urine sample for the test.
Then Rodrigues started work for Scotts, pending the results of a background check and the urine sample. About two weeks later when results of the urinalysis came in, Scotts notified Rodrigues that the test for nicotine was positive and he could no longer work for the company.
Rodrigues next filed suit against Scotts, alleging (1) violation of his right to privacy under the state's laws, (2) violation of his rights under the state's civil rights act, (3) wrongful termination, and (4) violation of ERISA by interfering with his right to employee benefits. The court initially dismissed the second and third allegations... then focused on considering the right to privacy and the ERISA violation allegations.
The court's decision... and reasoning.
On Rodrigues's claim that he had a "right to privacy" when it came to his smoking, and that Scotts violated this right to privacy, the court stated: "Rodrigues does not have a protected privacy interest in the fact that he is a smoker because he has never attempted to keep that fact private." The court noted "that he has willingly made the fact that he is a smoker available to the public. He testified that he smokes while walking down the street heading to the post office, that he smokes with others in the parking lot of a McDonald's restaurant, and that he openly purchases cigarettes wherever they are sold."
So, "... Rodrigues has not attempted to keep the fact of his smoking private," the court stated. "He has no cause of action under the Massachusetts privacy statute."
On Rodrigues's assertion that Scotts' denial of employment resulted in denying him benefits under ERISA, the court makes these points: During Rodrigues's employment of about two weeks, his employment "was clearly made contingent on his successful passing of the background check and urinalysis screening." During that time, he "was not yet eligible for benefit coverage under the Scotts plan."
As a result, the court states, "A person such as Rodrigues, who has only a contingent offer of employment, does not have an expectation of benefits under the potential employer's ERISA plan..."
What next? Rodrigues has filed an appeal. The case will be reviewed by the Court of Appeals.
Note: As many as 29 or 30 states (including the District of Columbia) have laws that to some degree give protections to job applicants and employees who smoke. If you wish to ban hiring of tobacco users it is important that you consult with an attorney familiar with your state law.
