bought surround sound speakers off ebay. I have no idea what I need to hook them up, or if I can. Any help appreciated. I hate to buy another DVD Blu-ray just to have surround sound.

that gives an average MPG. Is it anywhere near accurate? I find it hard to believe that I'm getting 30 mpg or better. Please don't tell me to record my mileage between fill ups. I know how to do that. Just wondering what the readout does.

After our marriage, she was granted a two year residency. In 5/05 we applied to have that extended to a 10 year residency. Since then, due to backlog, we have had to have that extended twice. Yesterday we got notification that our justifying documents were incomplete. We have until 8/2/08 to submit evidence that we have been married and living together since 7/03. The documentation that we submitted in 5/05 was rejected as incomplete. I have contacted my congressman, and am in the process of obtaining additional affidavits. Can anyone give any additional advice. I am considering contacting the news media, as our union is not in question. Thanks.

Both communists nations. Why don't we normalize relations with Cuba?

Are most people who post here Americans? It appears so. I am an unabashed liberal, and I don't like Bush or the Neocons. I think that they are ruining/have ruined our standing as a nation. However, I don't publish diatribes against him or others.

We are, after all, all in the same boat. Let's tone it down a bit, okay?

How can this be so? What can/should be done?

DOGS & RAISINS-----toxic Even if you don't have a dog, you might have friends who do. This is worth passing on to them.

I looked on Snopes and found it's true. http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/raisins.as...

(Below written by a vet)

This week I had the first case in history of raisin toxicity ever seen at MedVet. My patient was a 56-pound, 5 yr old male neutered lab mix that ate half a canister of raisins sometime between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM on Tuesday. He started with vomiting, diarrhea and shaking about 1AM on Wednesday but the owner didn't call my emergency service until 7AM.

I had heard somewhere about raisins AND grapes causing acute Renal failure but hadn't seen any formal paper on the subject. We had her bring the dog in immediately. In the meantime, I called the ER service at MedVet, and the doctor there was like me - had heard something about it, but....Anyway, we contacted the ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center and they said to give IV fluids at 1 = times maintenance and watch the kidney values for the next 48-72 hours.

The dog's BUN (blood urea nitrogen level) was already at 32 (normal less than 27) and creatinine over 5 (1.9 is the high end of normal). Both are monitors of kidney function in the bloodstream. We placed an IV catheter and started the fluids. Rechecked the renal values at 5 PM and the BUN was over 40 and creatinine over 7 with no urine production after a liter of fluids. At the point I felt the dog was in acute renal failure and sent him on to MedVet for a urinary catheter to monitor urine output overnight as well as overnight care.

He started vomiting again overnight at MedVet and his renal values have continued to incr ease daily. He produced urine when given lasix as a diuretic. He was on 3 different anti-vomiting medications and they still couldn't control his vomiting. Today his urine output decreased again, his BUN was over 120, his creatinine was at 10, his phosphorus was very elevated and his blood pressure, which had been staying around 150, skyrocketed to 220.. He continued to vomit and the owners elected to euthanize.

This is a very sad case - great dog, great owners who had no idea raisins could be a toxin. Please alert everyone you know who has a dog of this very serious risk. Poison control said as few as 7 raisins or grapes could be toxic. Many people I know give their dogs grapes or raisins as treats including our ex-handler's. Any exposure should give rise to immediate concern.

I'm a Vietnam veteran, but I am not a hero. Are we devaluing real heroes, by referring to all soldiers as heroes? To me, a hero is someone who exhibits bravery above and beyond the call. The soldiers now serving in Iraq are not all heroes. Most are guys just like me who served because they signed up to do so.
