Night vision goggles

Standard night vision goggles use a method to convert infrared light into electrons. The electrons are then accelerated under high voltage and driven into a phosphorous screen, producing greenish images of objects not visible to the eye in darkness. The process requires thousands of volts and a vacuum tube made of thick glass. That is why the goggles tend to be bulky and heavy.
The night vision glasses are lightweight binoculars that can be mounted to a wide range of helmets by use of the mounting adapter Night vision devices (NVDs) have allowed humans to exploit the environment that was only conquered by use of flashlights and flood lamps. Whether in goggle or binocular form, these devices have given people a significant edge, first in military combat and more recently in surveillance, security, and rescue operations. NVDs are continuing to be modified and improved.  They have found applications in ocular surgeries and are currently being researched for use in automobiles and pedestrian detection. The history and technology behind NVDs is addressed, as well as modern and future applications. The FAA TSO-C164 approved tool is simple and powered by a dual battery compartment power pack that gives the pilot immediate reserve power.
The NVAG goggles are now available with image intensifier tube performance levels. This will surely improve the user's performance regardless of the lighting levels available. If used domestically, the NVAG has DO-275 specified class B coatings on the objective lenses.  Night vision glasses (NVGs) were determined and classified as appliances in 1990 by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Night vision goggles are used in navigation, operation and have been a good help when it comes to the control and operation of an aircraft in flight.
We, Night Flight Concepts team also provide Night vision goggle (NVG) training programs which help the customer about the flight training in order to increase safety, and awareness and expand their capabilities during night flight. The training programs are specifically designed to address the requirements of law enforcement agencies, air medical/rescue services, military organizations, and government task force agencies; our "First Responders." Night flight concept can be used by kids and adults, and can be used for night hunting, boating or just for fun. Night flight concepts provide you with periodically inspections and repairs in order to maintain the quality, function and reliability. We give you the facility of 180 day service inspection. Night flight glasses can be returned within 72 hours of purchase but with the test data sheet which can be taken as a proof for getting the deal cancelled.

What kind of table cloths should I use for my lodge wedding?


My wedding/reception will be at a two story lodge beside a river. The lodge is all beautiful wood. I dont want to use ivory table cloths because I feel like that would be too formal and take away from the wood. My colors are sage green, navy and brown. Ideas for table cloths that arent ivory?
Oh, and the plates are navy!

Based purely on colors, I'd go with sage green. Brown can be perceived as a bit unappetizing near food. Navy would probably be fine, but it might make the room feel too dark. Sage is a color commonly associated with food, is light enough, may help tie-in with the outside, and is also fairly easy to source. A downside to all of the colors that you like is that those colors are not flattering to many skin tones. (Whatever color you choose for your tablecloths will reflect up into your guests' faces.)

Do you already have a potential source for all of the colors, and are they all the same price?

What does your fiance/fiancee prefer?

A Rich Wood Carving Tradition in Oaxaca, Mexico: Spotlight on Jacobo Ángeles

Alvin Starkman  M.A., LL.B.  

 

Try searching the Americas to find creators of folk art with more form, symbolism and importance to the development and sustenance of their culture, than those of indigenous ancestry in Oaxaca (wa–HAW–ka), one of the southernmost Mexican states.

 

Many so-called experts in folk art have mistakenly written that the origins of Oaxaca’s wood carving tradition date back fifty or sixty years, to a small number of carvers residing in one of the central valleys of Oaxaca, a few miles from the state capital of the same name.  The error has consistently been equating the recent commercialization of the art-form with its origins, and ignoring its pre-Hispanic roots and subsequent development.

 

Jacobo Ángeles lives with his wife María and two children in San Martín Tilcajete, one of three main native Zapotec villages, where most residents earn a living from carving and painting colorful figures, often generically referred to as alebrijes.  The others are Arrazola and La Unión Tejalapan.

 

At age 12 Jacobo began learning to carve from his father.  Later on he was mentored by village elders.  “Over the past few decades our craft has without a doubt changed dramatically,” Jacobo explains, “with the use of more synthetic paints, a tremendous increase in the range of figures being carved, and with domestic and international demand for our carvings growing exponentially and affecting how and what we produce.  But remember, my ancestors were carving animals right here in this region before the Spanish arrived in the 1500’s.  And we were using only natural paint colors which we derived from fruits and vegetables, plants and tree bark, clay, and even insects.  In my family we still use what we find around us to make paint for our figures, and our wood of choice continues to be the branches of the copal tree.”

 

San Martín Tilcajete is located about a 40 minute drive from the city of Oaxaca, along a highway leading to the state’s Pacific resort towns, including one of the oldest ports, Puerto Escondido.  Puerto Escondido was a hub for the export of coffee and other cash crops during colonial times, but is now a popular beach destination for Mexican and international vacationers alike.  Many travelers combine their sun and sand vacation with a visit to Oaxaca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, searching out unique pieces of folk art including dance masks, pottery and clay figures, rugs and tapestries, and antiques from the colonial period forward.  And of course there are the pre-Hispanic ruins, galleries, impressive Dominican churches, museums, and renowned Oaxacan cuisine.

 

“My ancestors used a 20-day calendar,” Jacobo continues, “and each day was represented by a different creature.  So every Zapotec person had an animal with whom he had a connection, and each animal had certain characteristics which carried over to the individual.  For example, the jaguar represents power and ultimate strength, the frog is characterized by honesty and openness, the coyote watchful observation, the turtle always a troublemaker prone to breaking the rules, the eagle technical and strategic power, and so on.  My people used to carve figures of just these 20 animals.  They started out as small whittlings for good luck that people would keep in a revered niche in the home, or wear around the neck as amulets.  They also carved larger figures for their children to use as toys.”

 

After much probing, an almost forgotten story emerges of the use of decoys of wood and other materials.   Jacobo reveals:  “My people used a variety of methods to attract different kinds of game, but for hunting birds of prey, rabbits, and deer, yes they at times used decoys.  A painted wooden snake would be placed on the ground in an area where ants had trampled the grasses so the snake decoy would easily be seen by eagles.  To hunt rabbit, my ancestors would attach a rabbit tail to one end of a straw hat, and at the other end another tail with a face painted on it.  For deer, a crude wooden deer torso with real antlers would be placed in the tall brush.  So carving was historically important to our people for not only totemic and related reasons, but it was directly related to our subsistence.  All the written records from the period of the conquest, and not just local legend, confirm the importance of woodcarving.”

 

“But look at what we now carve.  While in my family we still use natural paints, and still carve our totems, we’ve transformed a simple yet important and symbolic tradition into something very different.  In our villages we now carve many more than those 20 animals because of collector demand.  More importantly, we’re able to make our heritage better understood and appreciated by the world.  In our own workshop, our painting depicts designs and representations of our culture … friezes from the ancient ruin at Mitla, symbols representing waves, mountains and fertility, the totems, and other metaphors for our culture, past and present.”

 

Indeed the world has taken notice.   Jacobo’s work is prominently displayed in The Smithsonian Institute, Chicago’s National Museum of Mexican Art, and elsewhere throughout the continent and further abroad, in museums, art colleges and galleries.  Jacobo regularly traverses the U.S. promoting Oaxacan folk art and his Zapotec heritage, teaching in a diversity of educational venues ranging from junior schools to university departments of fine art, and as honored speaker at art exhibition openings.

 

                                      ********************

 

A visit to the Ángeles workshop, accessed by a heavily pot-holed narrow dirt road towards one end of the village, affords an opportunity to learn about this extraordinary skill-set, from Jacobo, Maria --- an excellent painter in her own right --- and some two dozen other members of their family who produce some of the finest quality carvings found anywhere on the continent.

 

The men do most of the carving, while women do most of the painting, but the tasks are definitely not exclusively based on gender lines. Carving is done with non – mechanical hand-tools such as machetes, chisels and knives.  The only time a more sophisticated tool is used is when a chain saw is employed to cut off a branch and level a base for a proposed figure.

 

Except when a special order is received, the woodworkers in the family are given artistic license to carve whatever figure they wish.  A piece of tree trunk will “speak” to one of these specialists, and be the inspiration for creating a particular animal: the shape, thickness, and bends and twists in the piece come alive.  After the bark is removed, a detailed outline is drawn, defining the image with greater clarity and detail.  The sculpting in earnest then begins.   

 

“From the female copal tree we are able to make figures out of one piece of wood, often very large and intricate.  This wood is soft and easy to work with.  The male tree is harder, and branches tend to be smaller and somewhat delicate, so we use it to make animals which we assemble in the process.”

 

The carving alone takes up to a month, at times longer.  The figure is then left to dry for up to 10 months, depending on its overall size and thickness.  Because of the properties of copal, and Oaxaca’s semi-tropical climate, the wood is susceptible to termite infestation.  Accordingly, during the drying process the piece is soaked in a gasoline / insecticide mixture for several hours.  As an added assurance, it’s then placed in an oven, just in case eggs have evaded extermination.  “All of our pieces are guaranteed to never have a termite problem,” Jacobo assures.

 

Since the figures are fashioned while the wood is green and more easily workable, the wood separates while drying. “There are a couple of members of my family whose main job is to fill the cracks before the painting begins.”  For this remedial work they use wood shims as well as a sawdust-glue mixture.  But even these slivers of wood and the sawdust have been cured.  “We’re proud of our work, and never want to have any problems with any of our buyers, whether someone is spending $20 or $2,000.”

 

In almost all cases in the Ángeles workshop, one person carves and another paints.  Once a figure has left the hands of the carver, all proprietary rights are released, and another member of the family is entrusted with the painting.  Nephew Magdaleno explains:  “Occasionally one of my cousins will come up to me and say ‘what do you think about these colors or this kind of design concept for this coyote,’ and I’ll give my feedback, but it doesn’t happen very often, and I’m invariably pleased with the result.  For me it’s the form that’s most important, and for whoever’s painting, it’s the imagery it captures.”

 

One cannot help but gasp at the sculpting genius which goes into each piece:  A starving dog scratching fleas, a bear with its paw in a honey pot, a snake constricting a wincing jaguar, a winged horse on its hinds, a woman with long braided locks and the body of an armadillo, or a deer, life-size by Mexican standards.  There’s something particularly arresting about each creation: the ever-so-flowing and realistic movement, a fanciful stance, or a familiar pose striking a chord with our popular characterization.  However the painting is anything but familiar.  No color goes untested and the intricacy of and variation in design is remarkable.

 

Theories abound regarding the beginning of the modern-day manifestation of the tradition.  Some say that because hallucinogenic mushrooms are native to this part of Mexico, drug induced revelations caused the imaginations of some to wander, ultimately becoming expressed in their carvings.  The better explanation is that knowledge of colorful, large, papier maché alebrijes or dragon-like forms which originated in the State of Mexico, eventually filtered down to Oaxaca, and were the inspiration for the fathers of contemporary painted wooden carvings.  “You know, it’s not accurate to refer to what we create as alebrijes, because to the older generation of Mexicans, and to true folk art collectors, alebrijes were developed near D.F. (Distrito Federal, or Mexico City, the nation’s capital), and what we do is completely different.”

 

Jacobo demonstrates how his ancestors created natural paints, historically utilized for dying clothing, painting buildings, and ceremonially as face and body decoration used for rites of passage, fiestas, prayer and other important occasions.  Today their primary use, at least in Jacobo’s family, is for painting the carvings.  He explains with the assistance of his machete and a tree trunk how he cuts away the reddish inside part of the bark of the male copal, allows it to dry, then toasts and grinds it:  “This is a primary base that we use, which allows us to create a range of colors, tones and shades. Just watch.”

 

Using his hands as palettes, Jacobo begins by placing a small amount of the powdered bark in one hand, squeezes juice from a lime, creating a brown, which he then places on an unpainted wooden owl.  “Yes the owl is also one of our sacred creatures, the great healer, quiet and humble.”  He reveals:  “Now over time, and in the sun, this color will change or fade and be absorbed into the wood.  So what our ancestors learned to do was take the dried sap from the copal tree and heat it up with honey.  The resulting liquid is then mixed with the paint, changing the color a little; see, it becomes a deep orange … but most importantly it acts as a mordent making the color permanent, and a little shiny.” He adds powdered limestone, and the color changes to black.  With the addition of baking soda and more lime juice it becomes a deep yellow, and with more chemical it miraculously becomes magenta.  A new base is then started, with crushed pomegranate seeds.  Magically the pulverized pink is transformed into green with the addition of limestone powder. Mixed with the magenta, it becomes navy blue. With the addition of zinc it becomes grey, and with more zinc, white.  Blue from the añil tree, indigo, is altered with the addition of bicarbonate, zinc, lime juice or the powdered lime mineral.  Corn mold,a black gooey culinary delicacy known as huitlacoche, when fermented and then powdered, yields ochre.  The red of the dried and then crushed minute insect, the cochineal, which feeds off its host nopal cactus, becomes orange with the addition of the juice of any of a number of acidic fruits. 

 

The demonstration terminates with Jacobo asking, “what´s your favorite animal,” following which he finger paints a rabbit from the rainbow of colors on his palms, as only Alice could have imagined. 

 

                                      ******************

 

With approximately 150 families now producing painted wooden figures in these and a couple of other smaller villages, the questions left unanswered remain:  What facilitated and drove more carvers to adopt the papier maché style of using brilliant color combinations, and how can everyone in these villages make a living from this solitary art-form?

 

As with other crafts in the central valleys of Oaxaca, their production wasn’t always the primary means of sustenance for the populace.  Traditionally, handicrafts were a hobby or part-time trade, beginning with very few items being sold to the odd passerby, adventurer or traveler.  In the case of rugs from nearby Teotitlán del Valle, there were trade routes that producers followed in order to effect more sales in other regions of the state, and in some cases beyond.  But the primary means of family survival was working the land and small-scale ranching.  And in the case of the carving villages, there never was a broader market, although in San Martín Tilcajete embroidered shirts, blouses and dresses were an extremely well-received craft throughout the 1960’s and into the 80’s.  

 

Dramatic change in production and marketing of wooden carvings had its genesis in the 1940’s.  The pan-American highway cut through the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains, reaching Oaxaca, opening up the region to the north, in particular Mexico City and the border states.  Until then Oaxaca was relatively isolated notwithstanding a rail connection. By the 1950’s and early 60’s Americans and Canadians were prospering from the post-war boom, credit cards had been mailed to virtually everyone, and word spread of a new kind of vacation, in a third world country, Mexico.  Jet air travel facilitated the transformation.  The women’s movement meant more two income families, resulting in more disposable income for traveling.  Mexicana Airlines and Oaxacan travel agents partnered to begin offering tour packages, which further facilitated tourism to the region.

 

The hippie movement of the 1960’s and early 70’s brought Oaxaca to the forefront of the alternative lifestyle, with throngs of youth and their pop idols traveling to Huautla de Jiménez, then a tiny Oaxacan village, to eat hallucinogenic mushrooms with the now infamous healer María Sabina.  North American youth saw and purchased the first generation of contemporary wood carvings. 

 

By the 1980’s, as a consequence of multiple factors, Oaxacan alebrijes had become well-established as folk art, with the market continuing to grow. The economic implication was that farmers and ranchers were able to spend more time carving and painting, and less time in the countryside and in marketplaces vending their produce and animals.   With a new toll-road opening from Mexico City to Oaxaca in 1995, access to the southern state became even quicker and easier, and safe. In good conscience, travel writers were no longer able to warn tourists about driving the switchbacks, back-road banditos, or cars overheating on secondary roads without service stations.

 

The future market for the artistry?   While the odd visitor to a Oaxacan coastal resort such as Puerto Escondido, or the more popular Huatulco, does visit the state capital and the workshops of carvers like Jacobo, most do not.  Within the next four years a new highway to the coast will open, cutting road travel time by at least a third.  Even more sun worshipers will visit Oaxaca, and marvel at the art of Jacobo and María Ángeles. 

 

Since opening their family workshop in 1996, without a doubt Jacobo and María have singularly raised the quality bar for other villagers who aspire to mirror their success.  With Oaxacan wood carvings of superior quality now well established on the world stage, and access no longer an impediment, the challenge for others in San Martín Tilcajete will be to achieve the success of the Ángeles family through production of like quality, until now eluding most.

 

A challenge for all carvers in the region is to ensure a continuous supply of copal to meet demand.  A reforestation project spear-headed about 15 years ago by the late master of contemporary Mexican art, Rodolfo Morales, continues through his Foundation.  The Ángeles family with friends and other villagers spend the last Sunday of each July, in the midst of the rainy season, planting, a part of their sustainable living effort:  ensuring an ongoing supply of raw product, cutting only branches for making figures so that the tree continues to grow, reducing waste by utilizing the slivers and sawdust in repair work and any remaining twigs and branches as firewood for cooking, and using the sap and bark in paint production.  “And you know,” Jacobo reminds, “for generations we’ve been using the hardened sap as incense, mainly at religious cememonies.  There are even knifemakers down the road in Ocotlán, who engrave their hand-forged blades using a special ink made with the sap.  Have you visited the cuchillería of Ángel Aguilar?”

 

For high end collectors, we can only encourage the success of all efforts aimed at maintaining the growth and development of the Oaxacan woodcarving tradition, since it satisfies and advances our penchant for and obsession with quality hand-fashioned craftsmanship.  For the artisans in the region, aside from the obvious economic importance, it’s part of maintaining their Zapotec heritage and illustrating the richness of the culture to the broader world.  

 

The workshop of Jacobo and María Ángeles is located at Calle Olvido #9, San Martín Tilcajete, Ocotlán, Oaxaca  ( t:   951-524-9047 ;  w:  http://www.tilcajete.org  ;  e:  angeles@tilcajete.org ).

I'm thinking maybe not like... antique but something old-ish and treasured.

Something from the 70's or 80's maybe? Possibly early 90's?

Thanks!

Hmm..

Antique Classic Cars For Sale



How old must a car be until it falls into the antique, or collectible classification?


I have a black 1999 Toyota Solara SLE coupe, garage kept, with 31000 miles on it in good condition. It will be 10 years old soon. When could it be considered a classic or collectable car--or will it at all? Would antique or collectable status increase its value? Although it is still a very fine fine car, it is now nearing ten years old and is presently worth little at the present time, compared to new vehicle prices, and I would like a newer car soon. Should I sell it now and buy a new one, or keep it as an antique? I could really use what ever trade in allowence I got from it towards a new car but I don't want to throw it away either! It's present blue book value on trade is about $6500 to $7000 Thanks...

Greetings !

It depends on what you are asking for, titling and licensing purposes or insurance purposes... here's the scoop on both:

As licensing is a state by state issue, it all depends where you live, or by insurance company if you plan to have it insured. For example, I live in Ohio, and for licensing and regisistration purposes, any car 25 years old can be considered an "antique" and qualifies for "historical" plates, or you can even use the same plates from the year your car is made as your actual plates (I bought a set of 1966 Ohio plates on eBay and they are now the official plates on my 1966 Galaxie 500 XL). There are limitations though, typically that it isn't regular transportation and drive to/from car shows and the occasional sunday drive. Here in OH, you pay $10 for historical plates and they are good forever. For "classic" status, your plates say "classic" at the bottom and you can only drive 2500 miles per year.

For insurance companies, it all depends. I am insured with Hagerty (www.hagerty.com) and I even have my 1985 LeSabre insured through them. Insurance is ultra cheap (typically $150/year with a $0 deductible for comp/coll), but the car must be kept in a locked garage when not in use, and there are restrictions on drivers (nobody under 25). Newer cars are typically required to be strictly stock. There are other companies out there too, but I can say I had a claim with hagerty and have been very impressed. If your Solara is low production, you may want to inquire. I know there are clubs dedicated to the Pontiac Fieros of the 1980s and like my 1985 LeSabre Collector Edition.

Selling now or holding on to it... The prices of many muscle cars of the 1960s that were fairly cheap in the 1980s now fetch $50K-$100K now. Most of us have old cars simply for the joy of owning a classic. A general rule of thumb is don't buy a car solely as an investment. If it is popular with your generation now, it will likely be popular with that same generation 20 to 25 years later when everyone has a little more disposable income after raising kids, etc. Many of us in our 40s-50s would like to recapture a little lost youth. When I was a kid (70s and 80s) the 1957 chevys and 1960s muscle cars were popular and the new cars were Monte Carlos, Cutlasses, and Regals, as well as Trans-Ams and Mustangs. Now I see those 80s cars starting to get popular again as vintage. You are likely a good 15-20 years away from having your Solara really hit the vintage market.

You may want to check out publications like www.autotraderonline.com to get an idea of worth. Make sure you check Kelly Blue Book as a specialty vehicle (www.kbb.com). There is section on collector cars, but I suspect you are in the general car category. At nine years old and 31K works out to be under 3500 mi per year, but with a specialty car like that it may not be unusual. I see many 2000-2003 two-seater Thunderbirds with ultra low milage as they are rarely daily drivers.

You'll gain a lot going to car shows for your car of interest. I belong to the Ford Galaxie Club of America. There are lots for camaros, mustangs, fairlanes, etc. There are car clubs at the national, state, and local levels, some general like all fords (www.lovefords.org), and some specific like ford galaxie (www.galaxieclub.com), and some regional like central Ohio (www.unitedfordowners.com). Google Solara Club or even Toyota Club and see if anything turns up.

You are usually in the best position to determine its value to you. If you really like it, keep it. If your situation is such that you really need a different vehicle, shop around and see. The internet opens up a national/international market for your Solara. Just be careful of those shipping scams where someone from Africa asks you to hold a cashier's check while you wire $$$ to cover international shipping somewhere...

Hope this helps out. Have a great day !!

John
