How would I Install an air horn in my car?

How would I Install an air horn in my car?
Hi there.





I have installed air horns on many vehicles. I have even changed the horns on my Toyota scion xb.They were very wimpy so i went down to the junkyard and got two Chevy truck Horns. Now they blast really loud.





To install Air Horns on a vehicle, You need to first install the compressor to drive the horns.This is what provides the air to blow them loud.You CAN NOT just plug in the existing wires but you can use it as a trigger to sound the new horn system once it is installed.





I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Why is Moses sometimes depicted as having horns?

Sincere question. I just did an image search and there were various works of art showing Moses with horns. I also found one of Isaiah and Joshua.





On a different note, there are coins depicting Alexander the Great with -you guessed it- horns.





Why is this?

Why is Moses sometimes depicted as having horns?
wow I had never heard of this until now


so I googled it and found this





Exodus 34:29-35 tells that after meeting with God the skin of Moses' face became radiant, frightening the Israelites and leading Moses to wear a veil. Jonathan Kirsch, in his book Moses: A Life, thought that, since he subsequently had to wear a veil to hide it, Moses' face was disfigured by a sort of "divine radiation burn".





This passage has led to one longstanding tradition that Moses grew horns. This is derived from a misinterpretation of the Hebrew phrase karan `ohr panav (קָרַן עֹור פָּנָיו). The root קרן Q-R-N (qoph, resh, nun) may be read as either "horn" or "ray of light", depending on vocalization. `Ohr panahv (עֹור פָּנָיו) translates to "the skin of his face".[95]





Interpreted correctly, these two words form an expression meaning that Moses was enlightened, that "the skin of his face shone" (as with a gloriole), as the KJV has it.[95]





The Septuagint properly translates the Hebrew phrase as δεδόξασται ἡ ὄψις, "his face was glorified"; but Jerome translated the phrase into Latin as cornuta esset facies sua "his face was horned".[95]





With apparent Biblical authority, and the added convenience of giving Moses a unique and easily identifiable visual attribute (something the other Old Testament prophets notably lacked), it remained standard in Western art to depict Moses with small horns until well after the mistranslation was realized by the Renaissance. Michelangelo's Moses, is probably the best-known example.





Not all the Renaissance Italian painters gave horns to Moses. The Venetian artist Tintoretto depicts Moses' face as radiating light, in his series about the life of the prophet in the San Rocco, Venice.





Popular artist renditions of saints include radiant light behind the head, halo, or over the crown of the head. Other traditions outside of religion include an aura to show an element of the supernatural, or possible energy field of the body.
Reply:I don't know where to find you a source for this, but I remember reading that there is a verse that can either be read as Moses having "light" coming from his head, or "horns" coming from his head.





They can't be sure of the translation, because there are no spaces or punctuation in the original Hebrew. This may have been in a book that is not part of the modern Bible.
Reply:Exodus 34:29-35


כט וַיְהִי, בְּרֶדֶת מֹשֶׁה מֵהַר סִינַי, וּשְׁנֵי לֻחֹת הָעֵדֻת בְּיַד-מֹשֶׁה, בְּרִדְתּוֹ מִן-הָהָר; וּמֹשֶׁה לֹא-יָדַע, כִּי קָרַן עוֹר פָּנָיו--בְּדַבְּרוֹ אִתּוֹ.


29


And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of the testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses knew not that the skin of his face sent forth beams while He talked with him.





ל וַיַּרְא אַהֲרֹן וְכָל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֶת-מֹשֶׁה, וְהִנֵּה קָרַן, עוֹר פָּנָיו; וַיִּירְאוּ, מִגֶּשֶׁת אֵלָיו.


30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face sent forth beams; and they were afraid to come nigh him.


לא וַיִּקְרָא אֲלֵהֶם מֹשֶׁה, וַיָּשֻׁבוּ אֵלָיו אַהֲרֹן וְכָל-הַנְּשִׂאִים בָּעֵדָה; וַיְדַבֵּר מֹשֶׁה, אֲלֵהֶם. 31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him; and Moses spoke to them.





לב וְאַחֲרֵי-כֵן נִגְּשׁוּ, כָּל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל; וַיְצַוֵּם--אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אִתּוֹ בְּהַר סִינָי.


32 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh, and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.





לג וַיְכַל מֹשֶׁה, מִדַּבֵּר אִתָּם; וַיִּתֵּן עַל-פָּנָיו, מַסְוֶה. 33 And when Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.





לד וּבְבֹא מֹשֶׁה לִפְנֵי יְהוָה, לְדַבֵּר אִתּוֹ, יָסִיר אֶת-הַמַּסְוֶה, עַד-צֵאתוֹ; וְיָצָא, וְדִבֶּר אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֵת, אֲשֶׁר יְצֻוֶּה. 34 But when Moses went in before the LORD that He might speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out; and spoke unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.





לה וְרָאוּ בְנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֶת-פְּנֵי מֹשֶׁה, כִּי קָרַן, עוֹר פְּנֵי מֹשֶׁה; וְהֵשִׁיב מֹשֶׁה אֶת-הַמַּסְוֶה עַל-פָּנָיו, עַד-בֹּאוֹ לְדַבֵּר אִתּוֹ. {ס} 35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face sent forth beams; and Moses put the veil back upon his face, until he went in to speak with Him





Moses' face was disfigured by a sort of "divine radiation burn".
Reply:It's a mistranslation in the Old Testament. Exodus 34:35. "And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone."





The Hebrew word for "rays of light" is karnayim. This word has an alternate meaning of "horns". Some Medieval Bibles actually translated this verse to read the Moses had horns, and thus was born the belief that all Jews had horns (which happily complemented with the other Medieval belief that Jews were in league with the devil.)

Why is Moses sometimes depicted as having horns?
Greetings, Red Queen. Yes, I've been trying to answer your question for some time. Poor Yahoo must have asthma.





An art history professor told me those are not really horns, they are a symbol of the glory of God shining from them. The book of Exodus speaks of Moses' face shining after being in the presence of God on Mt. Sinai. Michelangelo, among other great artists, rendered this as horns.





Studying Renaissance art is a great corollary to studying Bible history and the way Europeans interpreted biblical stories, btw.





Add to tehilla v--Yes, it was believed that Jews had horns, but Alexander the Great was not Jewish by any means, and he was also depicted as having horns, because the glory of the gods was supposed to be in him.

Excellent question! I have often seen this too and didn't even register it consciously.
Reply:"So with horns, Michelangelo acclaimed Moses a man of power and station far greater than lawgiver of a local tribe. With horns he saluted him not only as one who had stood in the presence of God, and had realized, had become at-one with, his own divinity, but nobler far, as a man fulfilled who had returned -- for some do not. Only the few come back, down the mountain, in order to teach and lead mankind."

Michelangelo was not relying on a mistranslation of the Bible.

Reply:This is an answer I culled from a web search on the topic of Moses being depicted with horns:





"Because St. Jerome translated the Hebrew term that probably means "ray of light" as "horn" when compiling his Latin Vulgate Bible, which was still the standard edition for Latin Christians in Michelangelo's time. Michelangelo followed what was then the official Church line, and there you have it." [stuthehistoryguy]








Moral: stick with the traditional King James version.





Great question, by the way. I learned something new!
Reply:Because of (yet another) Christian mis-translation of Jewish scripture.





When Moses came down from the mountain after seeing G-d, his face was so radiant that it was if beams of light were shooting from his face. The Hebrew was mistranslated by Christians to read "horns" instead, and since then Moses was often depicted with horns--





I wish that was the whole story! Of course Christians decided that ALL Jews must have horns--that's why Jewish men wore those skullcaps, right?--to hide the horns?--and for centuries people believed that Jews had horns. Of course it was less than coincidental that Christians also believed that SATAN had horns...





This would be funny if it weren't so sad. I have a friend who actually was approached about this when her son was born. The neighbor wanted to see the baby's little horns. :( Hard to believe, but true.





Edit for G-d exists: The KJV is riddled with errors that are no less ridiculous, and that misrepresent Judaism. The REAL moral: stick with Hebrew.
Reply:Re Moses: it's a MIStranslation of 'shining'. The original Hebrew said that the face of Moses was 'shining' and somehow, this became 'horns'.......!





It's one of MANY mistranslations that appear in the 'old testament'. The OT is NOT the same as the Jewish Tanakh, as you can see.








TEHILLA V is entirely correct.





It is one of the oldest and most foolish beliefs that Jews had 'horns'. Very offensive, and again, one of MANY mistranslations.

Where does the sound a car's horn make come from?

I am no mechanic, but I've looked under the hood a few times, and I've never seen anything that resembles a horn. And some horns don't even sound like horns. Is it computer generated these days?

Where does the sound a car's horn make come from?
No they hide horns in all kinds of places. In the fender wells, in front on either side of the radiator behind the front grille. Just have someone blow the horns and follow the sound to the source. Horns are also made to blow at different frequencies. That's way they sound different.





Good Luck
Reply:The horn is a mechanical device. It has a coil in it which vibrates when electric is applied to it and shakes a metal disc, called the diaphragm to make the sound. If you look in behind your front bumper, or around the radiator in the engine compartment, you should find a round black part, about as big around as a coffee mug with one or two wires coming out of it. That is the horn. Have a friend push the horn button and look for where the sound comes from to find it.

Why are people refered to as tin horns?

A tinhorn is "a petty braggart who pretends to be rich and important."





Supposedly it comes from "the horn-shaped metal can used by chuck-a-luck operators for shaking the dice."





And, in case you were wondering, chuck-a-luck is "a gambling game in which players bet on the possible combinations of three thrown dice."

Why are people refered to as tin horns?
A brief search for the phrase "tin horns" plus definition showed a high frequency of the phrase in the definition to callithumpian:





A somewhat riotous parade, accompanied with the blowing of tin horns.





There is also a musical band or group called "The Tin Horns," which seem to have made their way to public notice around this year.





I'll be watching this thread for other anwers. I thought there was a use for the phrase to indicate country bumpkins, local yokels, but I don't think that's right. Maybe those who can't make good music, thus they are "tin horns," or unskilled amateurs.

Berks County, PA Trains Whistling and Blowing Horns???
I live in Northampton county and I know there is a train that does blow a whistle that comes out of Phillipsburg NJ
Reply:Look at a street map, if you see tracks crossing roads, it is required to blow the whistle, federal law.





There are some crossings that whistles are NOT required but they are not very common, usually in places where the trains move slowly and the crossing gates have to be constructed in a way that cars can't go around the arms.
Reply:I dont think that any electric trains will blow whistles so your blown unless they're any deisel trains in the area. Deisel trains will blow whistles and your rite about the town you've mentioned.


Maybe if you find towns that link to that rail line too then those will be deisel probably. So they will blow whistles.





Email me if you found my advice useful.

Question about animal horns?

do animal horns bleed if shaved/cut when the animal is alive? does it hurt the animals in anyway at all? please be as detailed as you can.

Question about animal horns?
No, they dont. Unless you are dehoring the animal. the horn is like our fingernails, its made of keratin aswell. so when it grows away from the head it is essentially "dead". I have performed a dehorning, and seen when if you get too close, the wound will bleed, they say its slightly uncomfortable for the animal but the main thing to worry about is infection, which is where you would give them a dose of antibiotics. (i am in australia so we dont have things like skrew worm and burrowing insects like this, but if your country does, then that would present a problem aswell. the flie lays eggs in the wound which hatch into maggots and burrow into the flesh--%26gt; not pretty) Hope this helps

That answer sucks follow a clump of wires help us out seems to be common on jeep horns next best answer beside

I would assume that your horn is not working?





What I would do:


Unplug the horns and put a voltmeter on the wires and then push the horn button to see if you get a 12v reading.


....... If you do, replace the horn(s)


........If not, find the horn relay. It should be clicking when you push the horn.





.......If it clicks, Check the output of the relay for the 12v. If it's there and not at the horn, there is a broken wire.





At this point, you can run a new wire from the relay to the horn.





If the relay does NOT click and there's no 12v at the output, the relay may be bad OR it's not getting the ground signal from the horn button. This could mean a broken wire from the horn button through the steering column to the relay.





I know it sounds confusing but if you logically and systematically follow the flow, you'll find the problem. I'm assuming you've checked the fuse, too.





GOOD luck

Why does the Vatican have a statue of Moses with horns on his head?

I tracked this down in Rome. It is very impressive.


I have put a link in for you in the sources.





What of the interesting facial features on this Moses? Some think that, in the beard, a silhouette of Michelangelo is visible.





The horns have elicited various interpretations. The likeliest explanation is that Michelangelo relied on Jerome's vulgate translation of the Old Testament. In this commonly available version, the "rays of light" that were seen around Moses' face after his meeting with God on Mt Sinai were expressed as horns. Some people believe that Jerome's intention was to express a metaphor for the glory of God reflected from Moses's face.

Reply:It's called a GARGOIL. How do you know it is of Moses?
Reply:Michelangelo's "Moses" has horns because one of the biblical translations of "rays of light" became "horns" in Italian. Because of this mistranslation, depictions of Moses with horns became somewhat commonplace
Reply:It is not actually in the Vatican. It is in a church in Rome called St. Peter in Chains church. It was sculpted by Michelangelo. He had available to him the most common translation of the scriptures at the time: Jerome's Vulgate which was in Latin. The passage where Moses returned from receiving the ten commandments states that Moses had rays coming from his face from being in the presence of God. But in Jerome's translation, it was improperly written that he had horns!

In russian, when a man is said to have horns, it means his wife cheated on him. Anyone know why?

I know that the saying is well known, but no one seems to know where it originated from. Anyone have any ideas?

In russian, when a man is said to have horns, it means his wife cheated on him. Anyone know why?
This may be related to a old tradition in Eastern Europe. The community would gather to make fun of a man whose wife gives birth to a child that didn't look like him. They'd force him to wear antlers on his head as a symbol of his wife’s infidelity.





The horns may be related to either a castrated rooster or a type of bird where the male stays in the nest to warm the eggs and the female leaves the nest.
Reply:The article which I've found refers us to the Biblical King Nimrod who was called Khuk-khold ('King of the world' in Hebrew) and wore bull horns as symbol of his power.


His wife Semiramis was famous for her adultery and dissipation so only unlucky guys having cheating spouses were called 'khuk-kholds' too (compare to the English 'cuckold').


Russians seem to have taken those horns as the basis for the word 'рогоносец' (horn-holder) meaning - cuckold.

French horns?

ANY FELLOW FRENCH HORNS OUT THERE! people think my playing the french horn is weird, i am the only girl brass player in my class. ANY OTHER GIRL FRENCH HORNERS?

French horns?
Don't listen to them! Female French horn players are the best!





It takes guts to play a male-dominated instrument, instead of say, a flute or clarinet, where most of the girls are. But French horn is a beautiful instrument! You get to play all the romantic parts, the heroic melodies and the exciting villianous roles like the wolf in Peter and the Wolf.





I played French horn all through middle school, high school and college and there's no way I would have gone back an chosen another instrument. If you stick with it, I'm sure you'll end up with some other female brass players... in fact, most of the French horn players at my college were girls.





But - who cares what other people think anyway? You've chosen a GREAT instrument, a very challenging one that takes a lot of talent and practice... dedicate yourself to it and you'll knock their socks off! Good luck!
Reply:When I was in High School (years ago) I was seriously studying Piano but my girl friend at that time was in marching band and they needed a French horn player so the director talked me into learning how to play it.





I actually learned it quickly but I didn't enjoy it so gave it up after the semester. Shortly afterwards, I discovered the guitar and realized I could pick up more chics with a guitar than I could with a Piano OR a French Horn... so that was the end of brass instruments for me.

What is the only animal born with horns?

The giraffe is the only animal always born with horns. It's hair-covered horn are formed from ossified cartilage called "ossicones" which are part of the skull thus they are born with it. A baby giraffe’s horns lie flat against the skull when it is born and pop upright in a week after birth.It's horn doesn't fall off like that of the deer's.





There are other few animals that are born with horns.Domesticated goats and cows are born with horns however breeding (polled breeds) made some to be born without horn (polled) due to hornless trait (also called the polled trait).

Reply:not in use these days. some do still exist. google sound archives and see what you get
Reply:Because of modern navigational aids, the number of operational lighthouses has declined to less than 1,500 worldwide.


In the beginning of the 20th century Swedish inventor Gustav Dahlén invented the AGA Lighthouse which effectively made lighthouse keepers obsolete. However, for many years lighthouses still had keepers, partly because lighthouse keepers could serve as a rescue service if necessary. Improvements in maritime navigation and safety such as GPS have led to the phasing out of non-automated lighthouses, with the last keepers removed in the 1990s.


Today there are a few keeper-run lighthouses left in existence; the vast majority have been fully automated.


Often in inaccessible locations, modern lighthouses are much more functional and less picturesque buildings; usually they are solar-powered and have a single Flashing light which does not rotate sitting on a steel skeleton tower.





Ships and lighthouses warn of their presence in foggy conditions. Until the end of the Nineteenth century this was done variety of means, including gunfire, explosions, bells and steam whistles. However these were gradually replaced by foghorns invented in the 1850s. The replacement was slow in some cases, for example the Fastnet Rock Lighthouse had an explosive fog signal installed as late as 1883 which electrically detonated a small charge of guncotton every five minutes.





The first automated steam-powered fog horn was invented by Robert Foulis of Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. The first model was installed on Partridge Island in 1859, replacing the less effective bell and cannon which had been formerly used as warnings to ships in fog.





The noise produced by a foghorn is very deep, due to the fact that deep sounds are audible to human ears at a greater distance than higher pitched ones. It is also very loud so ships a considerable distance away can heed its warning. Legend suggests that Robert Foulis heard his daughter playing piano in the distance on a foggy night, he noticed the low notes were more audible than the higher notes.
Reply:Kinsale in county cork Ireland still uses fog horns. And you can go out on trips and see it

Why do devils have horns?

i'm doing a research paper on why angels have wings and devils have horns (in pictures of course). And I do not find many suggestions on why the "devil" is depicted in most pictures with horns...

Why do devils have horns?
The true answer is the depection of the devil you see in modern day pop culture is false and established by the Advertising Industry.





Satan(the Devil) was a fallen angel, theirs no mention of the devil with a pointy tail, horns or bat wings, Satan does though shapeshift usually into serpents. The Passion of the Christ movie has the best interpritation of the Devil.
Reply:I believe the depiction of horns on the devil comes from the relationship with the Goat of Medes I believe. It was an old Satanic sigil created along time ago when the Yezidi people still worshipped him in silence. Afraid of being killed by the christian mass when the holy wars were going on. Look up the Sigil Of Baphomet and you should be able to find more information.
Reply:to stab you in the back
Reply:In Greek mythology certain beings were represented as being goat like. (see Pan) So nasty people had horns like a goat.
Reply:That is from the early christian church. they used the depictions that they could find of old nature spirits and pagan drawings of cerinious. also from the Knights Temple when they fell out of favor with the church. The Knights Temple symbol is an inverted pentagram with the face of Bohapmote ( a goats face)fitted in the pentagram.

Reply:Several ancient pagan gods are depicted with horns. Faun, saytrs, the god Cernunnos, and various shamans have worn horns to better understand the animals their tribe hunts. This might also explain the goat hooves that the Devil is sometimes portrayed to have. Early Christianity demonized the older religions of Europe in order to gain converts, much the way Republicans demonize Democrats these days. What's with the forked tail?
Reply:horns look evil.
Reply:THEY REPRESENT THE HORNED ANIMALS THAT ABOUNDED THE LAND IN THE PAST CENTURIES.


NOT EVIL AS SOME THINK
Reply:During the early centuries of Christianity, the Greek god Pan was adopted as the motif for representing the devils. Pan was a satyr - a human with the legs and horns of a goat.





This served multiple purposes. First, it demonized Pan (who was not too terrible a god), scaring people from the ancient pagan ways and supporting what Paul had said about the pagan gods being demons (1 Cor. 10:20). Second, it fit the symbolism of Christians being sheep while sinners were goats (see Matt. 25:31-33). Third, it may have also demonized sexuality, which Pan partly embodied but which early Christians tended to think negatively of.





Whether goats particularly represent a particularly bestial nature, I don't know, though their adoption into Satanic imagery suggests that this is so. Satan is associated with the Beast through the writings in Revelation; later the inverted cross would be either adopted by or ascribed to Satanism.





Previously it was the cross of Peter, based on the traditional story that he had asked to be crucified upside down but more importantly because it looked like a sword, which Peter had used in defense of Jesus. Just as the upright cross is a symbol of the heaven-oriented spirituality of traditional Christianity (but also the ascetic denial of earthly pleasures that is occasionally encouraged), the inverted cross is a symbol of practical concerns (but also lusts of the flesh - the beast nature).





Which is why I like the sun cross that was adopted by the Gnostics - with its equal-length bars, it symbolizes wholeness and embraces all aspects of existence, both spiritual and physical.

Reply:Many of the Pagan Gods have horns, tusks or antlers and were often depicted as part animal. Mainly fertility God and Gods of the Hunt. For example: Pan and the satyrs (Greek), Herne (British), Cernunnos (Celtic), Pashupati (Hindu), Caerwiden (Welsh).


The Church made demon and Satan to look like these Gods to discourage their worship. Thus demonizing fertility and Nature Gods of old.

Is there a species of Bovine(cattle) with both udders and horns(both on the one animal)?

I am assuming you are asking if female cattle have horns.





Yes, several breeds of cattle have horns and yes, the cows (females) have horns. But the bulls do not have udders (only the cows have udders)





http://www.crazyforcows.com/


http://www.diamondgranch.com/index.htm





A thought to ponder: if cows have horns, why do some farmers put bells on them?

Is there a species of Bovine(cattle) with both udders and horns(both on the one animal)?
Obviously, it's only female bovids that have udders, but there are many bovid species in which both sexes have horns - for example, African buffalo, water buffalo, bison, gaur, eland, yak, topi, wildebeest, etc. In domestic cattle, too, it is usual for both sexes to have horns, it's just that many are dehorned when young to make them safer to handle, and there are certain breeds that have been specially bred to be hornless.





In response to Kate B and Oikos's answers, nilgai are one species in which females do not have horns. Others include impala, kudu and lechwe.
Reply:Lots of them. Domestic cattle - e.g. Highland, White Park; Gaur, Anoa, Bison, buffalo, nilgai... the ancestral condition is for horns in both sexes, but when polled individuals arise, this characteristic spreads as the energy needed for horn production goes elsewhere and these females have higher reproductive success.
Reply:Of course, many domestic cattle have horns and udders. Horns are not tied to sex; both cows and bulls can have horns.


The hornless variety is genetically dominant over the horned variety, so hornless cattle may produce horned offspring.
Reply:I can't think of any species of bovid that doesn't have horned females. It's the deer that (usually) don't have females with antlers.
Reply:All bovines have udders, and horns are dependent on the breed, most have them.

How can one kill such a cute little animal? Simple:

2) Aim the rifle at the deer from a stable firing position.


3) Adjusting for elevation and windage, align the crosshairs between the deer's eyes.


4) Gently squeeze the trigger until the rifle fires.





...and yes, I would kill Bambi, but I would prefer to kill his mother. The females taste better.

Will police respond to complaint about a neighbor who constantly honks the horn?

My neighbors house sits maybe 15-20' at best away from mine (just wide enough for a driveway and car to fit thru) The other night the stupid kid's friends were honking their horns every 10-15 min. at 2AM till I finally had enough and came out that front door like a rabid animal. I didn't have to say a word, they got the point. But their mother who isn't much more mature then her teenage brats comes %26amp; goes frequently thru the day, and blasts her horn to announce her comings/goings as if the whole block needs to know. Its not just one toot, (that I could live with) it's a elaborate series of endless honks, sometimes repeated every 5min for like 20 min. A member of my fam works nights %26amp; gets woken up all the time.We are ready to climb the walls over this (and other crap we have to put up with like their trash) Will the police respond to a call like this? I mean, if I call them WHEN she's honking, by the time they get out here, she may stop, but would they still have a talk with her?

Will police respond to complaint about a neighbor who constantly honks the horn?
If you called me I would speak to them regardless of whether or not they were honking on my arrival.





Nobody should have to put up with that ****. Call the cops.





If you have a camcorder, set it up to record the garbage.
Reply:Yes, It is considered a disturbance. Call the police and if you can record all the honks and play it for the police.
Reply:You would have to check local/state laws.





In Wisconsin, a horn is only allowed to be used as a signal for warning. We also have a municipal ordinace that states more than three honks is unreasonable noise.





You also are likely to have noise ordinace rules that govern the hours of day... again, in my city , if the noise can be heard off the property line after 10pm, it is considered unreasonable.





The problem is, by the time you call the police, and they arrive, the noise may be over. Your best bet is to see if you can establish a time frame when this occurs most often. Call ahead, if an officer is available, they should sit in the area and listen for themselves.
Reply:You can call anytime and they are obligated to respond. It's their duty, no matter what kind of call it is. Give your complaint and they should talk to the neighbor. Call every time it happens and establish a pattern of this behavior and they can be cited for it. Have you neighbor who they wake up call them too.Something can be done. You have rights that are being violated.
Reply:it's called "disturbing the peace". and after a certain time, maybe 11pm, they can get tickets for it.
Reply:Yes, they will respond.


When you call the police, tell them that it is a neighbor dispute over an ongoing noise problem.


If you call and just say that your neighbors are honking their horn, of course the dispatcher is going to reason that by the time the officers get there the problem will be solved.


Offer to talk to the neighbor with the police present.


It would also be a good idea to get some earplugs and a small fan for your day sleeper.
Reply:I'm sure they would. It's disturbing the peace. Keep a record of the honks (times, dates, frequencies) for the police. You might want to call the local precinct instead of 911, because it's not an emergency. Try to get other neighbors to back you up on this, also.

Why do serious french horns are so expensive?

I've been looking for a serious horn to keep walkin' in my studies (and my pleasure to play better). But I'm afraid to find horns at more than 6.000,00 US$... (and they look so fine) I'm lost in the horn's jungle... help!!!

Why do serious french horns are so expensive?
this depends on how far you are with your studies. i'm not a horn player im a pro violinist, but you'll find that only the best instruments are expensive. my violin is fairly mid range in price at about £37,500 but as an idea, our leader's instrument costs about £1million (mind you it is a strad!!!!!)





sorry i could'nt be any more help
Reply:If you go to some stores, you may be able to ask for used professional horns. Many music stores fix their used instruments well. This way, you can get a good professional horn and still have it be not THAT expensive. Another thing you could do is...bargin! But I dunno how well that'll go depending on where you are shopping.
Reply:I had the same problem while buying a horn. I know you are not supposed to do this, but look on ebay.com. That's where I got my horn. It was only $1,000. Also, go to www.wwbw.com (woodwind/ brasswind) They ship out of country and their top priced horn is only $3,000. When I purchased my horn last year, I looked at both of these websites for prices, etc.
Reply:All good quality instruments are expensive : violins, guitars, pianos, trumpets, flutes etc.





$ 6,000 is quite cheap compared to the hundreds of thousands of dollars some people pay for top quality instruments. Don't even mention the millions of dollars paid for old violins !


I live in Australia and all our instruments are imported too.





You have to pay for quality.
Reply:Most professional instruments will be expensive brand-new. My bass clarinet was $12K retail and I was able to get it for $9K. You're not alone!





I think you got your numeric values backwards...you mean $6,000.00?





Many stores will let you finance the instrument, meaning you can make monthly payments. It's like rent-to-own, except you can't give it back if you change your mind!





Secondly, if you know exactly what you want in a professional horn, you can find a good used one for a lower price. Many professional players will sell their horns after it depreciates in value (insurance reasons), even when it's in great shape. My professor sells his clarinets every 6 years for insurance reasons. You just have to know where to look!


I suggest, though, you ALWAYS test out the horn before you buy it. If not, know EXACTLY what you want in the horn and make sure the seller sends detailed pictures of the horn and gives you every specification about the horn. Don't buy it without those two things. It's a risky move but if you know how to do it, can save you thousands of dollars.





------------





To be honest with you, the majority of us in the US play imported instruments as well. The dominating companies of instrument makers have taken to instrument manufacturing overseas because it's cheaper for them. There are still factories in the US, but not as many as in China, Japan, or Indonesia. Why? Parts are cheaper, labor is cheaper, and the workers' factories here demand a lot more from their employers than their overseas counterparts.


Sometimes parts are made overseas and assembled here in the US as well.





It just depends on the company from which you purchase your instrument from.

Reply:Wow, $6000 is for a VERY serious horn. You can get a Conn 8D for less than half of that new here... don't know how much importing one would be. I said the Conn 8D only because it is an instrument everyone knows. Holton also makes some very cool horns. Oddly, I hear the King Fidelio model was very popular in south America. I don't know if they make those any more but they were in the $2,000 area or less.

I don't think he has horns and is not the Guardian, but I don't know what "ethat" is or a Republican caq.m? I really have tried to figure it out, but it's beyond me. All I know about Bush is that he is just too dumb to be believed!

Why do we believe the Vikings wore horned helmets?

Hi,





I did some research and found out that people around Greece wrote of the Vikings as barbaric people with helmets with horns. We all know that horns just provide a handle while slitting a man's throat. It's been proven their helmets didn't have horns on them.





My question: Why did they spread this false word? How did it all begin?

Why do we believe the Vikings wore horned helmets?
Horned and winged helmets of this type have been traced to mostly pre-Viking German (and in one case Norse) fanciful ceremonial garb, but was originally thought by archaeologists to be battle gear. This is now known to be false. Such adornments would be a hindrance in actual combat, but they make for great imagery, and as such were used in battle scenes during the Romantic period (late 1700s to mid-1800s).





"Romantic artists rejected the constraints of Classicism and started to explore, among other themes, ancient Germanic and Celtic history and mythology. These artists weren't always careful about the details and sometimes depicted a hodgepodge of Germanic, Celtic, and classical motifs. (Would you believe a Viking driving a chariot?) Romantic artists gave Vikings Celtic-style winged helmets before they got horned ones. In the 1820s the Swedish artist Gustav Malmström was the first to give horns to Vikings."





The imagery made its way into children's books about Vikings and Warner's operas which were misconstrued by many to be about Vikings. The image stuck, and now appears in movies, comics, tattoos and mascots





In short, I'd say it's three factors:


%26gt; the initial confusion between the clothes of a priest and those of a warrior


%26gt; a lack of discernment between the cultures of Germanic, Celtic and Norse cultures


%26gt; the power of this intimidating image to inspire both fear and awe.





Thus the idea of the horned-helmeted Viking becomes iconic in the popular imagination.
Reply:Both Juicy and Why Me? are correct.


The Japanese Samurai also had horned helmets - amongst other cultures as well.


Bottom Line: It's NOT a false rumor!
Reply:I have been studying Vikings for 25 years and no mention ever has been made of helmets with horns. None have been unearthed or found anywhere. It is not strange for people to say of those who are not in their culture that "they have horns." I was told all my life that Mormons had horns
Reply:It's been proven? Are you sure? I'd really like to see that proof, sounds interesting.





I know that many cultures have used horns in their battle regaila for several reasons. Some did it to look fiercer, more beastial or just bigger. Some did it because they thought it would give them the capabilities of the animal. And some used horn becasue it was some of the best armor material their technology level had access to.
Reply:They did wear helmets with horns, although not all of them may have. As well as making themselves look fiercer

Do the horns/sirens sound different on Fire trucks and Ambulances when they are driving back from a call and..

When they come back from a call and the person is already dead-- when they go back (to the hospital or wherever) do they have a different siren?

Do the horns/sirens sound different on Fire trucks and Ambulances when they are driving back from a call and..
There are several siren tones available on emergency vehicles. There isn't any protocol as to which sound to use when. It is the preference of the person driving the emergency vehicle. They will usually change the tones from time to time because the change gets people's attention who may have heard the siren for several minutes and have tuned it out by the time it catches up to them.
Reply:Several companies make different type sirens but most include the Welp, Worbble, Phazer, or standard type sounds.





One company has even tested (I believe in England) a new sound which is better than the already existing sounds.





There are no specific type sounds used, for any given reason as you ask, other than when "clearing" an intersection. Emergency vehicles will (obviously) make as much "noise" as possible to insure everyone is aware an emergency vehicle is attempting to enter an intersection or otherwise dangerous roadway.





If a "patient" is declared "DOA"...no siren is normally used when returning from the call.





Best wishes.
Reply:No. The person operating the lights %26amp; sirens has the option of using 3-4 different types of sounds, it might sound different depending on what buttons they are pushing, but doesn't mean anything. But usually they do not ride with sirens when someone is DOA.





Code 3 (lights and sirens) is used in emergencies only, and with ambulances they will only be using them when going to a call and going to the hospital with a victim. Some agencies have policies around residential areas, permitting them to use sirens only at certain times of the day.
Reply:Usually if the person is already dead they don't run lights and sirens.

Can someone tell me why trains honk their horns so loud at night they wake me up??

Shouldn't they be charged with noise pollution!??

Can someone tell me why trains honk their horns so loud at night they wake me up??
ha ha... yeah and dont you hate it how they blow it through the crossing after they pass.. lol.... two longs, a short, and a long through the crossing.. just like clock work be thankful you werent around when they had the steam whistles. but i'll take the trains anyday over the fighter jets from where i used to live
Reply:would you have to routinely cross the tracks on foot or in a vehicle and NOT have them WARN you of the danger? the horns are not any louder at night than in the daylight hours anyway
Reply:Trains are required by law to sound their horns at all public crossings, unless a horn ban is in place. Motorists are out at all hours of the night, sometimes sleepy-eyed and unaware. They hear the horn blast, slam on the brakes, and a life is saved.
Reply:Actually, there are twelve different whistle signals as prescribed by law and/or rule, so a grade crossing is not always the 'trigger', but most often they are.





The trains and the people running them are not going to stop blowing the whistle. Ear plugs or change of residence are your only two options. If it's any help, I do live near a crossing, and you do get used to both the whistle and the overall clatter.
Reply:I've noticed alot of times at night especially after a certain hour some try and not be so loud .. just givin' lil' toots at crossings that maybe don't have heavy traffic after a certain hour. so maybe where you are there is more traffic even late at night ... if you've ever gave'em the bird that might have something to do with it too! lol
Reply:If we chose not to blow the whistle at a public crossing and got caught, the powers that be would not only put a failure on our records, but possibly fire us.... So really when our livelyhood is at stake, not to mention other peoples lives, your undisturbed rest is really of no importance to us. The horn is just as loud at night as during the day, only more noticible. Let me ask you a question, were the tracks there when you moved into your place? Everyone wants to complain about the noise, but part of the reason most towns are by tracks is because of what the railroad provides them. SO communities have been built up around the tracks and now, years later, people want to complain about them..... like they just had their neighborhoods invaded. USE YOUR HEAD.
Reply:Trains are required to sound their horns when approaching a roadway rail crossing. Since the tracks were laid down before you moved in, they have 'squatter's rights'. You can learn to live with it or move somewhere else.
Reply:Did you ever think that the engineer just doesn't like you?
Reply:[quote] Shouldn't they be charged with noise pollution!?? [/quote]





Absolutly not. The airhorns on trains serve a purpose. Engineers have to blow their horns at every grade crossing, day or night. it is a rule that they have to follow. The horns serve as a warning to people %26amp; vehicles on or near the tracks that a train is coming. It can be annoying to some people at night, but it isn't like they have a volume control for the horns so that they're quieter at night, plus the horns have to be loud so you can hear them in time to get away from the tracks. They wouldn't be very effective if they were too quiet to hear from a distance. Also, blowing their horns reduces the number of train-vehicle or train-person accidents at grade crossings. Studies have shown that in places where a city ordinance or something prohibits engineers from blowing their horns, that there is actually an increase in the number of accidents at grade crossings.
Reply:Because Trains are required by Federal and State regulations to sound their horns at grade-crossings, anytime people or animals are seen on the track, or as they approach a station...





Interestingly, here in San Carlos, California... back in 1998 we RAISED the Union Pacific / CALTRAIN above the streets... a "grade separation" that eliminated street crossings for a 10 mile stretch: reducing traffic backups and eliminating day and night horn signals !!
Reply:I don't think the horns have a volume setting.
Reply:CN trains sound an Am7 chord.haaaaaaaaoh
Reply:The engineer is jealous, because he can't be sleeping too.
Reply:Horns actually are a bit louder at night. The reason is that in most places the air is more humid, and humid air carries sound FAR better than dry air. A second factor is there is less ambient noise at night (e.g. people mowing lawns, kids playing, etc.) so the train horns stand out better. My solution? Replace the air horns with steam whistles like they used to have. A good old steam whistle sounds really cool!

How can i last longer with my marching baritone at horns up (playing position) in marching band?

hi im chris im recently in marching band i play the baritone horn i barely started with a marching baritone and i have trouble holding it out at attention after a while and holding it at horns up(playing position) up 10 degrees because my arms feel the burn

How can i last longer with my marching baritone at horns up (playing position) in marching band?
There isn't much you can do but practice. You are using muscles in your arms that you don't usually use, so they get sore faster. Most bandos feel the burn after a day or so of camp.





On your off days, get some ankle weights and put on your wrists. Hold your arms up at horns up for as long as you can without hurting yourself. That's how I beefed up to get ready for drum majoring. After a week or so I could hold my arms up for 30 mins or so.





After awhile, those muscles will get stronger, and you'll be able to stand there like a statue for 20 minutes if you have to.





Either way, rock out on that baritone dude....rock out.





hope this helps! :-)

What do people use rhinos' horns for?

do they have to be killed to take the horns?

What do people use rhinos' horns for?
Ok first of all, rhino horn is NOT made of ivory, it is made of keratin which is the same as your fingernails. It is more or less hair that has been compressed tightly into a solid mass.





Anyway, to answer your questions.....





The horn is used for sevearl things. One, there are some people out there that believe that the horn of a rhino can be used as a medicine to treat various illnesses and personal issues (think viagra). The horn is also used in the making of handles on daggers. I am sure you have seen photos of them.... http://www.amnh.org/nationalcenter/Endan... I have also seen other misc objects made like small cups and bowls. For the most part though it is meds and the knives.





With being killed to obtain them. No the rhinos do not need to be killed to remove the horn and actually there are many parks were the rangers/park officials are trying to trim the horns back to keep poachers from going after them. The catch is the rhino has to be knocked down (drugged) so they can remove it. Since poachers need to be in and out quick and do not have access to the drugs they need to knock down the rhino there only option is to kill, cut and run.





Side note, when poachers remove the horn they go down to and into the skin. When rangers/officals trim the horn they do not. They leave enough that the rhino has some toughness to the nose to move things around and for defense plus if they go into the skin the rhino runs the risk of infection. For the most part they take just enough that the poachers are like "its not worth the effort" to go after it.
Reply:No death necessary for horn removal however most poachers have access to guns as those are cheaper than tranquilizers powerful enough to knock out a rhino.


They use them for Ivory-like things. As you know Ivory is an expensive an exotic used for making of many statues or jewelery. More commonly though Rhinoceros horns are used in traditional Asian aphrodisiacs , and for dagger handles in Yemen and Oman.
Reply:rhino horns and elephant tusks are make of ivory and it's vary valuable and can be sold for lots of money. that's what they do with them and yes they have to be killed because rhinos can't survive with out their horns

Do Airliner Airplanes Have Horns(Like Vehicles) And If So? Do They Ever Need To Use Them While In Flight?

Actually while everyone is laughing im a ramp agent for United and to inform you many commercial aircrafts do have a horn or a siren. These horns are only useful while the plane is on the ramp or taxing in or out. A pilot will usually use his horn to single ramp personel for special requests or to get attention of unaware personel that may be in a aircraft's way.

Do Airliner Airplanes Have Horns(Like Vehicles) And If So? Do They Ever Need To Use Them While In Flight?
No... First of all, if they did, they wouldnt do them any good, because planes fly with so much momentum that it would be impossible to safely change direction fast enough to avoid a collision... Instead, a plane's route is guided by GPS systems so it doesnt run into another plane... This is why the use of cellphones and other electronic devices are not allowed on a plane while in the air because the frequency of the device might match the frequency of the plane's GPS receiver and alter the route information... this is like flying blind (which can be very dangerous)...
Reply:At flying altitude, assuming -50°C, the speed of sound is about 300m/s (1080km/h or 670mph). Planes cruise at about 900km/h (250m/s or 560mph). Let's say visibility is really good, 100km, and the pilot sees an object in his way, 100km off. So, the plane honks. By the time the sound has traveled those 100km, the plane has traveled 83km and only has 17km to go before it hits the object. The plane will cover this distance in just over a minute, which means whoever is in charge of that mysterious object has only 70 seconds to react and avert danger - which means that our pilot would have done better to use the 6.6 minutes it takes him to cover those 100km to try his own evasive maneuvers.





On the ground, I suppose a horn could be of use to alert airport traffic.





But whether in the air or on the ground, you have to build an awfully loud horn to be louder than the plane itself.





I suppose that's why they use air traffic controllers and radio signals instead.
Reply:You cannot be that dumb
Reply:The sky is a little different from the ground. First, there is more available sky than ground. I very much doubt that there are as many as a million airplanes in the entire world, today, but there are millions and millions of cars. Moreover, airplanes can travel only in one direction (straight ahead). You cannot hit the brakes or back up while you are in the sky, because that would make the plane fall to the ground and everyone would die. It is very bad if everyone dies.





Even turning takes a while and LOTS of space. Most importantly, big jets fly very close to the speed of sound (jets usually travel at 600 mph and the speed of sound is around 770 mph). If they did honk, the other plane would not have time to hear the sound. Also, sound is very easily dispersed in the sky because there is a great deal of space and very little air.





Airplanes have radar and they follow a flight plan. Airports have radar too. If they see that two planes are likely to crash into each other in mid-air they will alert both pilots.





Finally, for an airplane to make a sound big enough to be heard above the sound of all the engines of two airplanes (or more) over a distance of 10 miles or more, the sound would be so loud and widespread that it would probably kill thousands of birds and shatter thousands of windows.





And that is why airplanes do not have horns, like vehicles and, if they did, would never, ever use them -- in flight or on the ground.
