Here are some more information for Hook Set Universal:
Why do we sit idly by and let politicians run our country and our lives into the ground? Why do we sit and watch them sell off our country to foreign trade? Why do they do it? Don't hey care at all about the people who voted for them? The answer to that question is a resounding NO. They only care about themselves and nothing more. And the reason we sit and watch them do it is because we don't know what to do, and they know it. They know that once they're elected we will go on back to our lives and not keep up with what they're doing in Washington, so they can get away with murder.
Politicians have a job where they don't even have to show up for work if they don't want to. They can give themselves a raise whenever they want to. They make the same salary when they retire as when they did when they were in Washington. And they make it until the day they die. They ride to work everyday in a limousine. They get all kinds of perks for being a politician; perks that they voted themselves to have. They are so out of touch with reality they can't see straight.
Even when they go to prison, it's not a prison like you and I would go to. No, it's a minimum security prison, a prison where they have a golf course inside the prison walls. Each cell has its own recliner chair, telephone, computer hook-up, they can call out for pizza whenever they like. They have unlimited visitation rights. The prison politicians get sent to is better than our homes and they voted to build them and we pay for them with our tax dollars.
The problem is we put them in power. The people who vote only do so for what's on the outside, not what's inside the politician. My sister voted for Bill Clinton because he reminded her of John Kennedy, nothing more. She had no idea where he stood on anything. He just reminded her of Kennedy, so she voted for him on that and that alone.
My cousin on the other hand didn't vote for Bill Clinton because he thought he was gay. One thing Bill Clinton is not is gay. But both voted for the wrong reasons. Neither one of them had a clue about what Clinton stood for.
Ronald Regan got elected because he was an actor. Everyone knew him and that's why they voted for him. They've seen him in the movies so he must be good. They fail to remember that his costar was a chimp and a much better actor than Regan. And they fail to remember that Regan is the one who trained Bin Laden. And we voted Regan the greatest American of all time.
Arnold got elected as governor of California because people in California actually thought they were getting the Terminator. He even talked like the Terminator while he was running, remember? People were mesmerized. They were sitting in the audience thinking, "Wow, we're getting the Terminator." So they elected him and then reality set in and they realized he knew nothing about politics and they realized how stupid they were, too late now.
I have a friend who voted for George Bush because he, "Looked more like a president" than Al Gore." That's the only reason she voted for him. Now she's sorry she ever voted.
If John Wayne was still alive and he ran for president he would get elected by a landslide. And he knew nothing about politics. But everyone knew John Wayne. He was a macho actor and he always won, so he must make a good politician, right?
We need for people to take a test before they can vote and if they don't score 100, they can't vote in any election. And politicians need to take a test too.
Every Senator every Congressman, every Representative of the House does great things for their state, but they do lousy things for their country. A Senator in NC got a tee pot museum built in a mountain city and because of that she got elected again. She also voted to give the oil companies a tax break and to give illegal immigrants amnesty. But that doesn't matter. She gave NC a tea pot museum that cost tax payers about $3-million and the people of NC love her because of the tea pot museum. Bless her heart, if she has one. This is the epitome of pork barreling.
I could go on ranting about this, but instead I'll just stop and say, wake up America. We're losing our country and it's time we took it back from the crooked politicians who are bastardizing our country and its people.
It's time for a revolution. It's time that someone put up a website that lists each senator, congressman and representative of the house; what they voted for, how much the lobbyists gave them to vote that way and how many days they showed up for work. Then we can see for ourselves if they're doing the job we elected them to do. And if they're not, we can vote them out.

How to Gain Admission to America’s Top Universities
Admission to top U.S. colleges and universities has never been more difficult.
Harvard broke all records in 2008, accepting just 7.1 percent of applicants, while Yale accepted 8.3 percent, Columbia 10 percent, and Princeton 9.3 percent. Brown and Dartmouth accepted 13 percent and 13.2 percent, respectively. Williams, Bowdoin, Middlebury, and Amherst Colleges accepted 16.3 percent, 18.4 percent, 18.3 percent, and 14.2 respectively. Swarthmore College granted admission to a record-low 15 percent, while the University of Pennsylvania admitted 16.4 percent. Boston College admitted a record-low 26 percent of applicants, and Duke reported record selectivity admitting 19 percent. The overall Ivy acceptance rate this past year was 12% -- again, an all time low. For students applying from India the odds are even lower.
With Harvard and Princeton dropping early decision/action and Harvard, Dartmouth, Swarthmore and Tufts announcing expansions of financial aid in recent months, the pool of applicants for the Ivy League and other top schools is overwhelmed with qualified students and as a consequence, this year was the lowest ever in terms of acceptances. We don't see this trend changing any time soon with a population bubble increasing the number of teenagers and more and more highly credentialed students applying. This year there are 3.23 million graduating U.S. high school seniors, and 60-65% of them now apply to colleges. The swelling population of 18-year-olds will peak in 2009, when the largest group of high school seniors in the nation's history, 3.2 million, are to graduate. The early application information is already in and applications are up by 40% at some top schools.
All is not lost, however. Qualified students from India are being sought out by top Ivy League colleges and universities. Yale recently announced that it is intensifying efforts to recruit Indian students and create more faculty and student exchanges, research partnerships and leadership education.
Each year, as America’s leading college admissions experts, we receive hundreds of emails a week from devastated high school seniors who did not receive the news they had hoped for in the college admissions journey. Many of them had high scores, great extras, and amazing grades. We also hear from younger high school students who are desperately seeking the secrets that will make them stand out amid the scores of other super qualified applicants. Our Application Boot Camp® workshops in Cambridge, Massachusetts (right next to Harvard University) fill up quickly with rising seniors who take part in our four day events to present themselves in the best possible light in their applications. The results for the students we've worked with have been astounding. But, we can't work with everyone personally, so we created a product that duplicates what we do in the workshop -- Application Boot Camp® Self Guided Program : www.ApplicationBootCamp.com/self. We made sure the product, including four audio tapes and a workbook, were available as an instant download for Indian students who are working on their January 1, 2009 U.S. applications. In fact, from now until January 1, 2009 we will give 10% off the price of this particular product. Just type in INDIA in the discount box.
We wanted to share our knowledge about what it takes to stand out and achieve success in the grueling Ivy League admissions process. We believe that knowledge is power! SO...to that end...to follow are some of our tips on what it takes to get into America's top colleges. These coupled with a copy of Application Boot Camp® Self Guided Program should help qualified Indian students rise above the rest in the college admissions process:
1. Grades. This is one of the first areas a college admissions board will consider. Even if a student's SAT scores are sky-high, high school grades, rank in class and rigor of courseload matter the most. A student who starts off strong but lets his grades lag in the final year, or vice versa, will have a hard time in the admissions process. Colleges want to see grades trend up in tough classes and students in the top 10% of their class. At Dartmouth College (one of the eight Ivy League schools) this year, for instance, 93.4 percent of accepted students ranked in the top 10 percent of their secondary school's graduating class. Our students who have gotten into top colleges typically are A students who have taken 5-6 Advanced Placement classes.
2. Test scores. The SAT score is a big part of the admission's picture because colleges report their freshman class averages to U.S. News and World Report. The biggest mistakes we see are students waiting until their senior year to take their first SAT test. Remember, colleges will see all of your SAT scores and will count the highest score in each section. So, begin early and take your first SAT in December or January of your junior year. That gives you time to retake it if you need to do so, with SAT preparation in-between. We don't much like group SAT classes, but rather encourage students to work with someone who can teach you how to be a savvier test taker or to learn that skill yourself. We supply resources on our website including some amazing tutors who can work by phone even with international students.
3. Extracurricular activities. Don't trust the lists of suggested extras that some college preparation sites offer. An admissions board will be much more impressed if you follow your passions and take them above and beyond. Show leadership and a theme. Use your summers to deepen that niche or themed interest.
4. Awards. Students who are talented, driven and dedicated will be seen favorably by college admissions boards. State, district or national awards in an area of expertise will set a student far apart from their competition.
5. Hooks. Sure, if you happen to be a legacy, recruited athlete, development case, famous person or have any other major ties to a particular college, leverage that hook!
While the Harvard acceptance rate and other Ivy League admissions rates are surprisingly low, it is by no means impossible to win a spot at one of these schools. For the exceptional student who works hard and prepares for college applications well in advance, an Ivy League education is still within reach.

Re: dvd home surround set-up. Only 2 speakers out of 6 working?
Sorry guys I should have been more clear. Its a dvd player with the 6 speaker outlets. An all-in-one, I guess. You hook the spk wires directly into the back of dvd player. On the dvd display the 2 that work are dimly lit whereas the 4 that dont are bright (in case that means anything to you).
Btw its an AMW P8A5, using a universal remote as it didnt come with its own (second-hand).
I just looked up that model. What do the "Effect" and "Func" buttons do? If that doesn't do it, you will have to get manual. I was able to find a web site for your unit. Unfortunately they don't have manuals to download. You may have to contact them directly for a manual.
