what are the blue and green inputs on my LCD tv?

elliotburton — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:34:45 +0000

There are 3 sets of RCA connectors on your LCD TV: 1) Red/white - these are stereo audio connectors. You may see ones that are labeled input and output. 2) Yellow - known as composite. This is the lowest quality video cable. Definitely, you want to avoid using this on your HDTV. Composite cannot display HD signals either. 3) Red, green, blue - known as component. This is the highest quality analog video cable. It can display 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i. You want to try to use this when HDMI is not available. DVD players and most game consoles will have these type of connectors. An additional note, HDMI is the highest quality cable and digital. Digital cables yield the best quality. HDMI supports the same resolutions as component, in addition to 1080p.

PIGEONS!! my 12 year old daughter want pigeons but i don’t know if its a good idea?

YES, its a great idea! I got my pigeons when I was about 12 and I’ve had pigeons ever since. They often considered to be dirty, disease-ridden pests, but that is a common misconception. Pigeons get all the same diseases as any other bird. You dont hear anyone complaning about bluebirds or robins though. I think pigeons are a great pet for that age group. You can keep just one or two in a small hutch or cage in the back yard or dozens to hundreds in a small or large pigeon loft. They can be kept just for fun; to watch them fly and release them from distances to return home, or you can compete in pigeon races and shows. Pigeons come in so many different breeds. There are fancy pigeons that look cute, beautiful, or interesting. There are racing pigeons that can fly at speeds of up to 100 mph and can be released hundreds of miles away and trained to return back to your home. There are performing pigeons, rollers and tumblers that do backflips in flight - all of them are amazing birds. Pigeons do not have to be let out every day, though they are happier that way (especially racing pigeons). But it is a great joy to see them circle around high in the air and come down. They also enjoy a bath and being misted with the hose. They readily breed on their own. They can become quite tame, flying up to you and eating from your hand. If you think pigeons arent a good idea for your daughter, please reconsider. They are by far the best pets a person can have.

Which engine should I get for my Supra?

elliotburton — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:34:42 +0000

this is a much debated subject among supra owners. some say that the 7m is not as capable as the j series engines. this is based off of opinions formed by kids with no experiance who thing the motor is junk when they starve it of oil, beat on it, and it develops rod knock. just like any other motor. i say 7m all the way. its proven capable. a healthy stock 7m is capable of 500 wheel with toyota internals. rebuild it with spec’d bearings and a good crank, forged bottom end, and the 7m will take anything you can throw at it. 1j’s and 2j’s are more capable in stock form , but for less than the price of a full 1j swap, and for about the cost of JUST a 2j motor (not including the swap), you could have a fully built 7m. also, if your going v8, dont settle for anything less an an ls1

Monsoon audio system in Trans Am?

elliotburton — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:34:40 +0000

ok this is really easy. its cool to change all of ur speakers… but when u do this u might as well change ur radio while ur at it to… that monsoon system is really good… i dont know if u noticed but u can turn it up as loud as u want and it sounds clear and has great bass. when u change one part of this system u sorta start messing with the entire system… its just by the way factory installed it. subs wont have n e thing to do with the 2 ohm level… a sub needs its own amp so of course ur not going to have it hooked up to ur factory built in amp. therefore it will not do anything to the monsoon system. but when u change the speakers it will get louder but when u turn it up it might start getting distorted it wont sound as good as the factory monsoon system unless u change the radio and add a 4 channel amp to it. that factory system is really good believe it or not!… well hope this helped….

how many terms are there in an university college for an undergarduate students?

elliotburton — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:34:39 +0000

At most colleges, there is Fall and Spring. Many have a Summer as well and some have a short summer session called something like “maymester”. At many colleges the fall and spring are divided into a Fall I and Fall 2 allowing faster course completion by compressing the time but putting a limit on the number of hours you’re allowed to take. So, in answer to your question, it could be between 2 and 5 but there are really 2 main terms (fall and spring) that are further divided at some schools. Summer term is rarely a full term and is often limited to 6-9 hours of coursework. If you were to attend F1, F2, S1, S2, SU (5 terms) at 9 hours each, you get 45 hours on the year. That’s a 1/2 year more credit than attending just fall and spring and this is how many accelerated programs wrap a bachelors in 3 years. Schools on a quarter system will typically have four quarters per year and those on a trimester system will have 3 per year. Some (not too many) also offer a short-session during winter break.

Is it possible to get race horse history?

elliotburton — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:34:37 +0000

Well, in order to find out the history of your horse, you should know his or her registered name. If the horse is not registered, then it will just be overly hard to find anything unless you ask the previous owner. But if your horse is a registered Thoroughbred, then I will be able to search him or her on pedigreequery.com where the sight has every registered Thoroughbred out there. So I will search the name “Bailey” and see what I get okay :] … Alright, I found a horse from Ireland with the name Bailey. It says he was foaled February 21, 2005. His sire’s name is Caption Rio and his dam’s name is Baileys Cream. And it looks as if it says he has had 4wins, 0places, and 11shows. Its hard to understand. But his great, great, great, grandma is Native Dancer. :] That’s pretty cool. So I don’t know if that is your horse or not but I will provide you the link and you may see for yourself. Now this is the link for the horse that might be yours… http://www.pedigreequery.com/bailey5 And this is the one of all the other “Bailey’s” I found… http://www.pedigreequery.com/ Hope I helped! –melissa–

Flat Panel Televisions?

elliotburton — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:34:36 +0000

You’re looking at 3 totally different technologies. LCD and Plasma have an average half life of 50,000 hours (use-able life). The DLP uses a high intensity bulb for projection and the bulb should last 2-5 years, and is easily replaced (at about $150). The DLP is a very good way to go if you want a bigger screen 55-71″ because LCD and Plasma in these larger sizes are much more expensive, you can get a nice 61″ DLP for $2000 a comparable size Plasma is going to be $5000 so I recommend in a larger set get DLP. If your looking at 32-50″ I’d look at Plasma or LCD both have ups and downs. Plasma usually has deeper blacks and handles fast action better. LCD puts out less heat and uses less electricity and has less screen glare. I own DLP and LCD and am pleased with both.

SUPRA!!! I need advice?

elliotburton — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:34:34 +0000

A 94 non turbo supra with 21,000miles is a very good find. To answer your question about making it fast, you can always do a turbo kit. Check out GREDDY and HKS for kits. I know they have single turbo kits for the twin turbo. But the thing I tell everyone that has toyota is : maintence, maintence, maintence. With it being a 94 model, its probably got a cracking timing belt, spark plugs are probably weak. Its not the milage, its the age. hopefully who ever owned prior has taken good care of it, cause a 2JZ-GE and 2JZ-GTE (t is for turbo) can run a very long time. The block is very strong, and some of the heaviest horsepowered turbos can run 1,000hp with the stock bottom end (pistons, cranckshaft,etc). the top end you’ll want to put better cams in it to help it breath better. The cost is another issue cause supras can be a pain to maintain, build, and modify. watch your budget and have fun.
