Do train drivers have the right to blow their horns at different hours in the early morn ?

I live in the city by train tracks and train horns are blowing after midnight. Do they have the right to be blowing their horns after midnight when people are trying to sleep? I thought horns can%26#039;t sound so late in the city.

Do train drivers have the right to blow their horns at different hours in the early morn ?
Locomotive Engineers (not drivers) are required by Federal law to sound a audible warning of two long, one short, and one long blast on the horn approaching grade crossings at all times except where there is a rule 14L exception and even then it is at their discretion.





Its for the public%26#039;s good, and the railroad%26#039;s liability.
Reply:Sounding audible warnings are a requirement by insurance companies for most , if not all railroads.Regardless of the time of day, engineers must sound their horns when approaching level crossings.
Reply:yes,
Reply:Train engineers do not make the rules. The law requires a warning device be sounded when approaching level crossings, construction areas etc. When you moved to a residence close to a railway surely you expected there would be some noise. Better you lose a bit of sleep than some dude gets killed at a crossing because the train didn%26#039;t%26#039; sound a warning.
Reply:Yes - it%26#039;s a matter of public safety and they are REQUIRED by LAW to blow the horn at every crossing.

How best to preserve an animal's freshly cut horns?

I just cut off the horns of an animal from its head. I want to know what%26#039;s the best way to preserve them?

How best to preserve an animal%26#039;s freshly cut horns?
If they are still %26quot;in velvet%26quot;(still growing /like deer horns) then put them in a tub of Boraxo and cover them in it. leave them there for about three days to one week then take them out and brush them off and salt the ends where you cut them off...........If they are just regular horns.........no Velvet...........just salt the ends down for now...............about every six months......rub a lite coat of mineral oil on the horns........It allows them to breath so they don%26#039;t deteriorate from the inside out and it also protects the outside of them form the junk in the air that breaks them down over time. if you keep them out of the sun they will last forever !

My chevy s10 horns still won't work and The fuses and relay are fine as well as the horn itself?

The horn honks when I lock my car and I switched the relay and the fuse is fine. It just won%26#039;t honk from the steering wheel when I push it. Any suggestions?? Thanks for any help!

My chevy s10 horns still won%26#039;t work and The fuses and relay are fine as well as the horn itself?
i had same...had dealer clean contacts in steering wheel...15 dollars once 25 the other...just shows what a rip off they are.. whatch out if u DIY cause of air bag.
Reply:It sounds as if the horn contacts either in the horn pad itself or somewhere in the column are constantly open. You will have to access the bottom of the column and ground the wire that leads to the relay. If you do this and the horn honks, the problem is higher up in the column. These work through the multifunction switch. You can access this by removing the column covers and looking directly down from the top to see a little spring loaded button to the steering wheel. Ground this to see if the horn honks. If it does, you%26#039;ve got a problem in the horn contacts of the steering wheel. If it doesn%26#039;t honk, you will need a new multifunciton switch.
Reply:Try taking the horn out and testing it directly with a car battery.

Do car horns have a universal pitch, or are they all different?

Does the standard car horn play a certain musical pitch? If so, what is it? Maybe trucks have a certain standard pitch, cars have different ones, and SUV%26#039;s have different ones? I am going to guess that certain auto makers install standard horns in all of their vehicles. So all hondas would have the same pitch, all fords another, etc?

Do car horns have a universal pitch, or are they all different?
They are all different. I work at a Ford dealership and each car and truck takes a different horn. I drive a Nissan Xterra and my SUV sounds different from a Nissan Pathfinder.
Reply:they are all different, it just depends on the manufacturer.

How to weather proof decorative steer (cattle) horns?

I bought a pair of steer horns to put on the outside of my jeep. I don%26#039;t have access to a garage and during the day my jeep is directly in the sun. I live in So. Cali so the temperatures goes from 120 degrees in summer to 20 in winter. What can I do to the horns to help keep them weather resistant? Something that will keep them from getting damaged by rain and a whole lot of sun. I was thinking perhaps dipping or coating them in RainEx to help keep them water resistant, but I have no idea for the sun. Maybe I should just Armor All them every once in a while? Will the sun even be a problem? They%26#039;ve been polished and are all pretty and shiny, I was just afraid that they may splinter or crack from drying out in the sun or heat. Any advice thank you.

How to weather proof decorative steer (cattle) horns?
polyurethane, in a sateen finish would be nice, several coats, let dry good inbetween coats.
Reply:you could polyurethane them so they don%26#039;t dry out however the sun is going to be an issue for the color only. the color will fade after time of being in the sun. the best way to protect them would be trying to find something to slip over them or tie on while you are at work so they don%26#039;t fade. good luck and happy holidays=)
Reply:I am a cane maker %26amp; have worked with horn %26amp; a traditional finish should be of the oil or wax variety, but you can use a marine spar varnish.

How did the "horns" while taking the picture come about?

okay so you are taking a picture with your family and friends and before the cameraperson CLICKS...there is someone behind you who raises two fingers behind your head to make them look like horns....supposed to be funny and it IS


how did THIS phenomena come about?

How did the %26quot;horns%26quot; while taking the picture come about?
We call them rabbits ears but its basically the same thing.





Way back in the early history of photography, back when people had metal rods strapped to their backs and clamped to their necks so they could sit still for the 30 minutes required for exposure, there were no bunny ears. In fact, in those portraits, there were no smiles. It was a very severe time, as though everyone had just received terrible news... It is impossible to pinpoint exactly when bunny ears first showed up in photographs behind someone’s head, though it started happening often in the ’50s. And, oh, to know why they did. ... Why a rabbit? Why not a Statue of Liberty crown with all five fingers? Why not a single antenna? Why not devil horns, with the index finger and pinkie?

Why do some antlers and horns curve and others are straight?

Why is it that when the horns/antlers get longer the curve on some animals? What makes them do that?

Why do some antlers and horns curve and others are straight?
As hammer said antlers and horns are different and the shape depends on the species, Horns for stabbing tend to be more slender and pointed as well as straighter. This causes them to flex less when stabbed into something. Horns for butting tend to be stronger and more curved, because they hit with the front edge of the horn.





When animals are younger they do not have the strength or mass for butting. So straighter stabbing and poking horns work better for them for defense. As the animal reaches maturity a stabbing horn may break in a wrestling contest with another male so the horn thickens and curves. Besides it is safer to wrestle then for two bulls to try to impale each other.
Reply:The curvature is due to the growth of bone inside the horn. It grows faster on one side (the outer edge) than the other. The result is the horn curves. Report It

Reply:There is a difference between a horn and an antler. A horn is a bony structure that is made up of mostly keratin. A horn is anchored to the skull and is permanent and will grow according to the species and will grow unchanged unless altered by humans or by being scared from fighting. An antler is a structure that is bony but has no keratin. Grows very fast and grows from the outside in. This covering is a vascular skin called Velvet. This velvet will peel off when the antler reaches it growth limit. When the velvet is lost the antler will harden and die. This dead structure is an antler. A true antler will drop off each year and a new one will replace it. The curving of the two depends on the species of animal.
Reply:Genetics and nutrients. Also human interaction can effect shape. An example of this is the Hereford breed of cattle actually has it%26#039;s horns wieghted to curve down instead of out.

How does one install air horns in his automobile?

I really want to get rid of my whimpy factory Honda horn and replace them with air horns (specifically http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/di... it has a 4 pronged relay that comes with it and Im no expert (obviously) and was wondering why i cant just use the existing wires and run them directly to the compressor of the air horn. The compressor of the air horn have positive and negative terminals. cant i just put the wires directly to that? Thanks for any help in advance!

How does one install air horns in his automobile?
the air compressor requires a much higher amperage to operate it. that is the purpose of the relay. if you follow the wiring diagram it is not that hard to hook-up. OK take it to a mechanic.

How do I get over my fear of animals with horns?

When i was 5 a bighorn sheep rammed and almost killed me how do i get over my EXTREME fear of any animals with horns i would like to be able to go the zoo without having a panic attack!

How do I get over my fear of animals with horns?
Start small and move up from there. But you%26#039;ve gotta have the discipline to carry it through to the end!





Maybe buy a horned beetle of some sort. Then go to a place where there are stuffed animals with horns. (Maybe buy a bunch of stuffed animals with horns and put %26#039;em around your house.) Watch friendly movies and TV shows about animals with horns. et cetera...eventually go to the zoo. It usually works! Study all about them, perhaps! Read books and stuff - write a report about them.





It won%26#039;t be easy. I%26#039;ll bet it was quite scary. Find a good friend that 1) Makes you feel safe in any situation physically AND emotionally 2) You can trust 3) Has a shoulder you can %26quot;cry on.%26quot; Then, allow that friend to take you to some of these places (including the zoo). Take it slowly but push yourself a little.





I%26#039;ll finish with a good poem for ya:








Somebody said that it couldn%26#039;t be done


But he with a chuckle replied,


That maybe it couldn%26#039;t, but he would be one


that wouldn%26#039;t say so %26#039;till he%26#039;d tried.


So he buckled right in with a bit of a grin


On his face if he worried he hid it.


He started to sing as he tackled the thing


That couldn%26#039;t be done, and he did it.





Somebody scoffed, Oh, you%26#039;ll never do that;


At least no one ever has done it;


But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,


And the first thing we knew he%26#039;d begun it.


With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,


Without any doubting or quiddit,


He started to sing as he tackled the thing


That couldn%26#039;t be done, and he did it.





There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,


There are thousands to prophesy failure;


There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,


The dangers that wait to assail you.


But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,


Just take off your coat and go to it;


Just start to sing as you tackle the thing


That %26quot;cannot be done%26quot; and you%26#039;ll do it.
Reply:Try to go to a place where there is animals like a zoo with a person you trust deeply. Then when you go to the cage where the animal is at, You can hold the persons hand and they can give you comfot. Make sure you bring water just in case you pass out. :)
Reply:Wow. that%26#039;s a good question. Well if you live where you can have animals, you could buy a baby goat and raise it up yourself. That way whenever it did grow horns, you would have a relationship with the animal and it%26#039;s horns wouldn%26#039;t intimidate you.


Other than that, have someone pray for you about it. I know that%26#039;s helped me with fear.

What is a cause of my pygmy goats horns wearing away?

They are 4 months old and have the outsides of their horns wearing away as if the outer layer is pealing off. They roam free in a pasture, and get sweet feed 1-2 times per day. Is this normal?

What is a cause of my pygmy goats horns wearing away?
Chances are the horns are getting bigger. Although pygmies love sweet feed, they also need hay and salt blocks. Sweet feed is extremely fattening and pygmies tend to hide their weight well. It is hard to tell if they are getting too fat. Also, they sell horn and hoof protectants at local feed stores; however, your goats are fairly young and using this on babies may not be recommended.
Reply:For most goats this happens when their horns grow larger. But the sweet feed 2 times a day is a little much. Try to mix regular goat feed or dry feed with it. Too much sweet feed can cause very bad problems. One more thing is a salt block and/or trace menerial block
Reply:ask your vet or something

Why are car horns push pads and not push buttons?

I know there is probably a good reason behind this, (easy access maybe?) but why are car horns a giant pad which requires pressure instead of a button like that of the cruise control system on your steering wheel?

Why are car horns push pads and not push buttons?
Money. Easy to make, more expensive to fix...





Remember that you have a 1/4 stick of dynamite in the wheel as well....( airbag )

Ford did have their horn %26quot;button%26quot; on a steering column armature in the 80s for some vehicles. Guess they came to their senses.
Reply:They do have ones that are just buttons. It could just be that on some cars you have to really press for the horn. If most horns are air-pressure, then they might have to have more pressure. Just a thought...
Reply:Most of the time when you hit the horn, it is an emergency situation. You don%26#039;t have the time to look around and find the small button you are thinking of. You need a large target, so that you don%26#039;t have to take your eyes off of the road. It could be a child on a bicycle coming out of a driveway, or something else like that.

For Ebay, make sure you have some very good photos to include of your product. Bad pictures just don%26#039;t sell items.





Make some nice displays of your work and get some little metal signs made to go on them with your name and number. Go to gun shops, game processors and even some restaurants, etc and ask the owners if they would willing to display them. I know a guy that sells quite a few of his antler lamps just from one display in the waiting area at a local steak house.
Reply:If it were me I would try to set up a web page and sell them directly yourself. I used to be an Ebay fan but they are ridiculous now with their inflated posting rates and skyrocketing shipping costs. You would be better off approaching this so you get the bigger percentage of money and not some web site that will get rich because of your efforts..Especially if you offer not only the mounts but the mounting service to mount them. I would also suggest you try and get a few displayed in local stores, already finished and advertise them that way too.





To be honest having two Gun Shops myself, even I would be interested in these, since the only things avaiable now are the %26quot;kits%26quot; that have the base plate with a piece of blue or red fake %26quot;velvet%26quot; to cover the base plates..They look %26quot;cheesey%26quot; to say the least and they retail for $35-40........There is most definately a market/need for your product, especially for those that might not have the money to pay a Taxidermist to do a head mount, but want to display their %26quot;trophy%26quot; rack regardless......Good Luck

How do you add horns or elf ears to a Berenguer reborn doll?

I have seen some dolls with poly clay tails and I think they are really interesting, they look like part of the original doll. Thanks~

How do you add horns or elf ears to a Berenguer reborn doll?
Yep, you already had your answer- poly clay. If you can find the color to match the horns, etc, then you can use it to smooth and %26#039;attach%26#039; them. If the doll cannot take the heat of the oven while they are baking (250 degrees for 15 minutes is average), then take them off carefully, with the smoothed attaching part, bake that on tin in a non-food toaster oven that has good degree controls (and use an oven thermometer, just in case), then take the entire new baked item, and glue it on with something like Fletch-Tite, or a superglue.


Cool idea wish I could see it when it is done!

Horns....?

How do acoustic horns work?

Horns....?
A horn usually consists of two parts. The first part is a sound emitter and the second part is a cone shaped focusing piece. The sound emitter can be piezoelectric like in a tweeter. It can also be a magnetic diaphram like in a speaker or woofer. The emitter can also take other forms. The purpose of the cone is to direct the sound made by the emitter so that most of it gets directed where it is needed.
