Charlie Boots on his artistic process, Internet romances and why logos inspire him
Editor's note: Artist Charlie Boots is part of the inaugural pair of PAIR residents at Denver's Powerhaüs Studio. As part of his residency, he and his fashion-designing counterpart will be reporting from the real world via Show and Tell, as they learn the ropes from studio mentors Mona Lucero, Lauri Lynnxe Murphy and Jimmy Sellars. Boots's next post follows. And incidentally, applications are now being accepted for the second PAIR residency; visit the website for details.Charlie Boots, "Sugar Skull."

As an artist, I am accustomed to questions about why I do what I do.
"What does this mean?" and "How do you come up with this stuff?" When I'm being honest, I respond with the answer, "It means whatever you want it to mean, and I come up with it randomly. Does that matter? Do you like it?"
Sometimes I feel like giving my responses a little more weight, and I can definitely play up the art theory stuff. I'm pretty good at it.
I can take the shoe off your foot and go into an hour-long diatribe about its significance as an object that has shed its identity by being removed from a context in which its utility situates it as being opposed to an object of contemplation and... by doing so, simultaneously challenges historical notations about what constitutes an art object as opposed to a mass-produced good.
Did you get all that? Don't worry if you didn't. It was all bullshit.
That is not to say that my work is meaningless, however. That's not the case at all. What I'm getting at is, I don't make works intended to be the visual equivalents to 900-page essays.
There are times when I sing the lyrics to "Don't Lose Touch" by Against Me! before I paint:
"SOS texted from a cell phone.
Please tell me I'm not the only one
Who thinks we're taking ourselves too seriously.
Just a little too enamored with inflated self-purpose.
Talk is cheap.
And it doesn't mean much.
Don't lose touch."
No. You shouldn't require a philosophy degree to "get" my work. I used to study philosophy as a major, so I should know. Really, the beautiful thing about painting is that diverse, sometimes contradictory, sometimes meaningless or, more often, subtle sources can be drawn upon to create a visually cohesive image. When the question of meaning comes up, the number of interpretations should be unlimited.
"Bazooka," Oil on Linen.
But still, a friend may point out, "There has to be some starting point for an idea!" That never really happens to me. When I think of the Bazooka Bubble Gum logo under a skull blowing a bubble with a fetus in it, you should know that the idea was given to me, complete, in my mind, without any added effort.
It literally just pops in there, I see the image, then I draw it out and refine it.
I think this happens because I have an over-active mind. I don't mean this as "I'm sooooo smart." I mean, I was diagnosed with ADD as a kid (just like everyone else). My mind just goes. I don't think about paintings, but I do analyze day-to-day events in extreme detail. I think these day-to-day events are the basis of what ultimately creates my work.
So! I've decided to give you a glimpse into my process -- should you be interested. What follows are a series of... events (?) or meditations (?) or dreams (?) that inspire my work.

halogen lamp
halogen lamp
Incandescent lamp with a quartz bulb and a gas filling that includes a halogen. It gives brilliant light from a compact unit. The halogen combines with the tungsten evaporated from the hot filament to form a compound that is attracted back to the filament, thus extending the filament's life. The evaporated tungsten is also prevented from condensing on the bulb and darkening it, an effect that reduces the light output of ordinary incandescent lamps. First used in the late 1960s in motion-picture production, halogen lamps are now also used in automobile headlights, underwater photography, and residential lighting.

Brian's Stag Party
Hi guys: I'm working on putting together Brian's bash. Here are my thoughts and I'm putting them out there for your suggestions/considerations. We are holding it at the Windmill. We can expense it two different ways. 1. I can set a fixed price for food, alcohol and activities. This will be divided equally among all those who attend. or 2. I a fixed price for the food and have a cash bar set up at a reduced rate. This way cost is kept in control.

Since this message board is pretty much BC centric your rants have little relevance then. And i would suggest that you not considering visiting given your inflated sense of self entitlement.
And there are even more restrictions on smoking within the City of Vancouver. The Vancouver Park Board has a bylaw in effect Since September 2010 that prohibits people from smoking in the city's parks, beaches, playgrounds, and golf courses. And Vancouver extends the provincial smoke free buffer zone from three to six meters and includes customer service areas such as food carts, outdoor patios etc ("customer service area" means a partially enclosed or unenclosed area, including a balcony, patio, yard or sidewalk, that is part of or connected to or associated with a business or use in a building or premises that includes the service of food or alcoholic drinks to customers or other persons for consumption on site;) :
(e) within six metres measured on the ground from a point directly below any point of any opening into any building including any door or window that opens or any air intake;
(f) in a customer service area; or
(g) within six metres of the perimeter of a customer service area.
Other municipalities also have rules that may be more restrictive than the BC law.
Metro Vancouver (22 municipalities in the Lower Mainland, one electoral area, and one treaty First Nation ) also introduced a smoking ban in 33 regional parks.
That's rather uncalled for. The discussion is not bound by BC, so his rants do have relevance. The thread OP might be from outside BC for all we know.
MM, I'd welcome you with open arms if you decide to visit.

There's no place like home for North Oldham's boys basketball team.
In Goshen the Mustangs are 2-0 against county teams the last two years, including a 76-63 win against South Oldham Feb. 10.
On the road they haven't beaten a county team since 2011, including a 62-48 road loss to Oldham County Jan. 30.
Luckily for No. 3 seed North (11-14, 2-1 District 29) it'll have home court advantage when it hosts No. 2 seed OC (19-6, 2-1) in a first round district tournament game 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Dallas Robinson will get his second shot at an Olympic medal this weekend in the four-man bobsled event in Sochi, Russia.
Robinson, Justin Olsen and Johnny Quinn will be the push athletes on Nick Cunningham's four-man sled in the event that begins at 11:30 a.m. Saturday and concludes at 4:30 a.m. Sunday.
Robinson, a Crestwood native and Oldham County High School graduate, will look to help the U.S. repeat as gold medalists in the event.
Oldham County will go to state this weekend with a deep roster of competitors.
The Colonels won the Region 5 wrestling championship Saturday at Western Hills High School in Frankfort, beating second place Woodford County 265-229. North Oldham (175) finished fourth and South Oldham (99.5) finished sixth.
OC qualified 12 wrestlers for this weekend's state tournament, which begins at 10 a.m. Friday at Alltech Arena in Lexington. North qualified six wrestlers and South qualified four.
LOUISVILLE – Grace Oglesby, like most talented swimmers in the Louisville area, said she knows the name of Mary T. Meagher.
The North Oldham sophomore will now get to see her name right alongside Meagher's in the record books.
Oglesby won the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 54.66 seconds Saturday in the Region 2 championships at the Ralph Wright Natatorium. That mark tied a regional record set by Meagher in 1982.
Meagher, who swam for Sacred Heart, went on to win three gold medals in the 1984 Summer Olympics and a bronze in 1988.
Winter weather projected to hit the region Friday afternoon has caused the cancelation of the day's sporting events.
The KHSAA Region 2 swimming prelims set for Friday at the University of Louisville have been postponed. Girls prelims will begin at noon Saturday at the Ralph Wright Natatorium. Boys prelims will begin at 6 p.m. The finals will start at 11 a.m. Sunday.
Also, the following basketball games slated for Friday night have been canceled.
Boyle County at South Oldham
Christian Academy-Louisville at Oldham County
BUCKNER – Oldham County football players hadn't seen a Colonel head football coach face-to-face in nearly three months.
But once the players met recently hired head coach Mike Shatzer Friday at OCHS, they said they liked what they saw.
Shatzer, who's still teaching at his current job in Alabama, drove north to meet his new team Friday. He introduced himself to players in the weight room before addressing players, parents and others involved with the program in the school library before the boys basketball game against Simon Kenton.
Oldham County's Zac Brooks (above, right) and other wrestlers from OC, North Oldham and South Oldham competed in the Mustang Classic Saturday at North.
The Colonels won the event with a team score of 210, followed by Woodford County (189) and Trinity (169.5). North (72) came in eighth and South (67) was 10th in the 20-team event.
OC had three winners: Sam Gnadinger, 152-pound class, Max Emerson, 170-pound class and Alex McIntosh, 195-pound class. Will Jennings came in second in the 160-pound class.
South Oldham was upset by North Oldham Monday night, but the Dragons are still in prime position for the upcoming District 29 boys basketball tournament.
South (15-3, 2-1 District 29) will be the No. 1 seed in the tournament, which will be played two weeks from now at North.
OC (18-5, 2-1) will be the second seed, North (11-12, 2-1) will be No. 3 and Trimble County (9-11, 0-3) will be the fourth seed. The winners of the South vs. Trimble and North vs. OC games will advance to the Region 8 tournament.
BUCKNER – There's a good chance Oldham County and Simon Kenton will meet one month from now in New Castle in the Region 8 Tournament. If so, the Colonels will hope to get a similar result to the one they tallied Friday night.
OC used a 33-point fourth quarter to overcome a nine-point deficit and beat the Pioneers 72-65. The Colonels once again featured a balanced attack, with Austin Wills scoring 19 points, Connor Hicks scoring 17, Hayden Hawes pouring in 16 and Austin Perkins adding 14.
We'll have to wait a little longer to see North Oldham and South Oldham square off in boys basketball.
Due to inclement weather, the Dragons-Mustangs matchup scheduled for tonight will be played at 7:30 p.m. Monday at North.
That game bumps South's matchup with Iroquois, originally scheduled for Monday, off the schedule. The Iroquois game likely won't be made up, South AD Mitchell Irvin said.
South's district girls game at Trimble County has been postponed to Wednesday, Feb. 12.

I have a little corner on my screened-in porch that is calling out for a fountain. I want either a floor or wall mounted fountain. Some are too ornate-lions spewing water! I am not in Tuscany-just the suburbs! Other that the big box stores, where else should I look? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Our city has a place that carries concrete cast urns, benches, and fountains. In fact the local garden centers often carry their items. This place is certainly not in the suburbs, but nonetheless has a very large assortment. Maybe there is something like this where you live. And in Kansas City, it is a place called van liews. I have the link below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Van Liews in Kansas City
Here is Overstock. If you do find one one their site, search the name and see if there is a lesser priced one. O has such cheap shipping though. I have always had good experience with products and shipping is quick. |

I made one for our front porch/last home. Bought a can of spray rubber (they sell at Home Depot - it's often used on truck beds/floors) and sprayed the interior of a metal planter.. after DH had drilled a hole in the side for the small pump. Went around cord/hole with a water proof silicone (in a tube). Added a few potted water plants and small Japanese glass fishing floats. I did sit the pump on a few bricks (dark so not seen through water) to get the fountain to the right spot. Since it was small (roughly 18" diameter) I took the spray top off fountain and it just shot up a little, a small stream. Sorry the picture is so small, but it's on the right, metal container on edge of porch: |
Are you looking for an indoor or outdoor fountain, where it's in your screened in porch? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Indoor on on Overstock
Have you thought about putting the fountain outside the porch where you can still see/hear it? We had a wall-mounted fountain outside the old screened porch. It would have made a mess on the porch with splashing. Current fountain also sits outside the screened porch. |
I had to laugh when I read this " Some are too ornate-lions spewing water! I am not in Tuscany-just the suburbs! " My last house was very tradional w/a nice bricked/arched from porch.m I bought one of tos ornate-lions to mount on the interior side of the porch. I never put it up! Never checked to see if it worked So, 13 years later, I've since moved and I've luged this ornate lion wall fountain w/me. I never threw it away as I spent too much money on it. I live in a small development w/the houses very, very close. My neighbors air conditioner is 20 feet from my side covered patio. It is soooo loud. Yesterday, I cleaned off that old ornate lion wall fountain and put it in a corner of my porch, hoping that it would dull out the air conditioner - it doesn't. I was suprised that it worked ! But, for now I'm leaving, my ugly ornate lion up - I didnt mount it on the wall I just proped it up againt a flower pot. There are many, many pretty fountains out there...good luck in your search. |

Megan Fox Admits She Was Too Skinny, Ditches Vegan Diet
Megan Fox just did the unthinkable in Hollywood- admitted that she was too thin. The gorgeous actress revealed in a recent interview with Amica magazine that she was shocked into giving up her vegan diet when she realized how much weight she had lost.
"For a year and a half, until about four months ago, I followed a strict vegan diet based on raw fruits and vegetables, no bread, sugar and coffee," Megan said. "But I had lost too much weight."
"So now I eat a bit of everything. And I train three times a week doing circuit training with my trainer Harley Pasternak," adds Fox.
Harley told Starlounge UK that Meg follows the 5-Factor diet which is to eat five small meals a day which include the five dietary factors including healthy fats, lean protein, fibre and a non-sugar drink.
"Megan wants her body to reflect who she is," says Pasternak. "She looks awesome. She's natural, softly spoken and her personality shines through her fantastic shape."
And a couple that works out together stays together! Apparently Meg's hubby Brian Austin Green follows the same routine.

This was supposed to be one.. Obviously the sky is washed out. No wonder, I took this with 400 ISO film, with either f1.4 or f2, on 1/125. I'm surprised anything shows at all. Can't believe I forgot to check the aperture settings =D

A number of you have reported issues with the T-shirt Design Contest poll. We have reviewed these reports in depth and want to thank you, the community, for bringing them to our attention.
As we prepared to announce our LinuxCon schedule this week, I talked to one of our keynote speakers, Eucalyptus Systems CEO Marten Mickos....
Celebrating 20 years of Linux with a look back at the creator, Linus Torvalds, in pictures...
Alexander Swen is a true Linux evangelist. Since 1996, when he started using Linux-Mandrake on his home computers, he's been happily converting friends and family to the OS—even getting his parents on board. "I think everyone should use Linux," he says. "And I want to help promote it any way I can."
Friday Funnies coming to you from the Linux.com Editorial Staff. We almost all have a story now about the first time...
We are happy to announce today the 20th Anniversary of Linux T-shirt design finalists!
We're excited to be hosting LinuxCon Japan next week, June 1-3, in Yokohama. Bringing together the Linux community in Japan and supporting the country after its devastating tsunami is very important to us. Linus Torvalds will be there next week, as will a variety of Linux community leaders and contributors.
Wow, the 20th Anniverary of Linux T-shirt Design Contest is going to be a tight competition this year! I took a look this week at recent submissions and am really excited!
While Linux creator Linus Torvalds said he was completely out of his depth when he and his wife attended the Oscars earlier this year, could it have sparked the formal beginning to an ongoing love affair between Linux and Hollywood?
Jared Blouse likes to think of Linux as his "software playground." And he's been having fun with the trusty OS for more than a decade. "I get so much natural enjoyment from technology," he says. "And experimenting in Linux is my favorite way to play and learn."

"I suspect the virus writers are launching these things from zombie computers or bot farms to get the 'instant spread,'" said Roger Thompson, vice president of product development at PestPatrol.
W32.Sober-F@mm travels as either a .pif or a .zip file and sends its message in either German or English depending on the domain of the e-mail address it's sent to.
The worm is ranked as a medium-level threat for corporate users. Sober-F adds files to the system folder and creates registry keys to execute on system boot. According to Santa Clara, Calif.-based Network Associates, "This worm is intended to spread by sending itself to e-mail addresses found on the local system. The worm does not use any exploits in order to execute the attachment automatically. The worm is difficult to find and hides from many antivirus scanners. "
Experts recommend filtering executable attachments -- .exe, .pif, .scr, .com, .bat, .vbs, .lnk, and .hta, among them -- at the gateway and disabling HTML in e-mail either by filtering at the e-mail perimeter or at the e-mail client.

Funny, or sad ... in the 60s and 70s phone companies boasted about the
fidelity and robustness of their landlines, and now we need to put up
with the crappy cell phone (which sounds like shit, and drops calls
more frequently than a whore's drawers). Stereo systems were installed
and balanced to a room, now it's a $20 pair of ear buds on a phone
playing a lo-res mp3.
And all this when it is easy and cheap to create very high quality
stuff. Something is wrong. I figure that this is why we die when we
get older ... we just can't stand the BS that modern life brings.

Video transcript: Hello. My name is Ellen Strahlman, and I am the Chief Medical Officer at GlaxoSmithKline. I'm responsible for maintaining the highest standards of medical governance, ethics and integrity across GSK.
Regulatory authorities in Europe and the US have been reviewing the efficacy and safety of Avandia. This week, they made decisions that will affect all patients in Europe and the US who are currently taking Avandia, Avandamet, Avaglim or Avandaryl, and so I wanted to take this opportunity to talk to you directly.
The European Medicines Agency has informed GSK that it is suspending the marketing authorisation for all rosiglitazone-containing products in the European Union, and this includes Avandia, Avandamet and Avaglim. The EMA is the regulatory agency responsible for deciding which medicines should be available for doctors in Europe to prescribe for their patients. And as a result of this decision, physicians will no longer be able to prescribe these medications.
If you are a patient in Europe currently taking any of these medicines, you should contact your physician at the earliest opportunity to discuss switching to alternative treatment options.
The US Food and Drug Administration has also been reviewing the safety of Avandia. They've directed that GSK revise the label for Avandia, Avandamet and Avandaryl to include additional warnings and precautions. In addition, the FDA has also determined that GSK should implement a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy programme for the medicine, which would include restricting physician prescribing of the medicine to a named patient basis.
Again if you are a patient with Diabetes taking any of these medicines, do not stop taking your medication, but please contact your healthcare professional at the earliest opportunity to discuss the possible impact on your treatment.
Our primary concern are our patients with type 2 diabetes. GSK is working closely with the regulatory authorities and healthcare professionals to implement the changes. And we are making every effort to ensure that physicians and other healthcare professionals have all the information they need to help them understand how this affects their patients and what they should do next.
You may be wondering why the regulatory authorities in Europe and the US have reached their decisions now. I can't speak on their behalf, but what I can do is explain GSK's position to you.
All medicines have risks as well as benefits which need to be evaluated in the context of the diseases that they aim to treat. It's the regulators' responsibility to review these risks and benefits and to come to a decision as to which medicines should be available for physicians to prescribe for their patients. We recognise that this is an important and at times, difficult job.
Regarding Avandia, you may also be aware that there has recently been a rigorous scientific debate about the medicine, which has resulted in a divergence of scientific opinion about its possible benefits and risks.
As a company, we believe that Avandia has helped millions of people manage their diabetes, and that it is a safe and effective treatment option when used appropriately.
As I mentioned earlier we will work with the regulatory authorities in Europe and the US, in the best interests of patients, implementing the actions they have requested of us.
I recognise that this will be a difficult and worrying time for anyone affected by the decisions announced today. And if you'd like further information, please visit our website at www.gsk.com.
At GSK patient safety comes first. If you are someone with type 2 Diabetes taking any of these medicines, again please, do not stop taking your medicine, but contact your healthcare professional at your earliest convenience to discuss the impact of these decisions on your treatment.
And thank you for your time.

While we may dream of being whisked away to a country retreat with flowers and a romantic picnic containing strawberries, champagne and plenty of chocolate, the reality is very different for a lot of women.

VARADERO, Cuba (AP) — Harley-Davidson, the motorcycle brand that says America as much as apple pie or the Super Bowl, also has die-hard fans in communist-run Cuba, and on Saturday they kicked off the island's first national gathering in honor of the "hog."
About 70 black-vested Harley owners rumbled into this resort city from across the island this weekend, many riding double with their loved ones, for two days of rock 'n' roll, schmoozing, showing off their bikes and, most important, sharing their mutual obsession with the powerful machines.
"You're sitting atop the history of Cuba," said Max Cucchi, the owner of a 1958 Harley. "It's like being on a bull that wants to run."
Cuba's "Harlistas" are just as passionate as their American counterparts, but like the owners of rumbling 1950s Detroit classic cars that still prowl the streets of Havana, vintage Harley fans have had to get creative to keep their bikes road-worthy.
Rally organizers say vehicle registries show nearly all the estimated 270 to 300 Harleys on Cuban roads today were built before 1960. They are what's left of the estimated 2,000 that existed here at the time of Fidel Castro's 1959 Cuban Revolution, when they were favored by police and military for their power.
With no retail sales of new Harleys or parts during the 50-year U.S embargo, tales abound of makeshift monkeywrenching: substituting Alfa Romeo pistons, mounting Volkswagen Sedan wheels and tires, even scavenging residential piping to replace a handlebar or exhaust pipe.
"Normally all the motorcycles you see would be in a museum elsewhere in the world," said Cucchi, an Italian resident of the island who helped organize the event and is working on a book about Harlistas. "Here people use them to live."
With no retail sales of new Harleys or parts during the 50-year U.S embargo, tales abound of makeshift monkeywrenching: substituting Alfa Romeo pistons, mounting Volkswagen Sedan wheels and tires, even scavenging residential piping to replace a handlebar or exhaust pipe. According to one story, motorcyclists in the countryside with no way to fix a punctured tire would fill it with grass instead.
"It was tough. The blockade was very strong. There was no possibility to do anything. Anything," said Jorge Fonseca, a mechanic by trade and Harlista by love. "Those who had motorcycles and were capable of maintaining them were people of great merit, because without any possibilities they kept going with their Harleys."
Things began to ease in the 1990s as Cuba opened to increasing tourism. Canadian and European visitors in particular have brought in parts as gifts. Islanders' friends and relatives in the United States are increasingly doing the same as restrictions on Cuban-American travel back home eased in recent years. Import taxes are said to be manageable.
"Right now it's relatively easy," said Adolfo Pez, another event organizer. He said he can even order parts online and have them shipped to Canada. "Friends there bring them to me in Cuba."
But there's still a need to use one's wits. Fonseca confessed that while most of his 1954 Panhead is original Harley, the alternator more properly belongs in a Russian-made Ural.
"You know how much a (Harley) alternator costs? $400!" he said on a recent afternoon as he tuned up his bike for the rally, clad in a black Bon Jovi T-shirt and Harley baseball cap.
"The Ural? $15," he said with a laugh. "$15 — but it works for me."
A closely knit community, Cuban Harlistas share tools and help each other with repairs. They get together periodically and party to classic rock tunes like Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild," rather than Cuban salsa or reggaeton.
There are more than 200 registered Harleys in Havana alone and three clubs, including the national-level Cuba chapter of the Latin American Motorcycle Association.
Some gather each Saturday in the shadow of Havana's seafront Hotel Nacional to display their vintage bikes, sip rum and coke and trade stories of the garage and the highway. Most are men, but a few of the riders are women. It's a diverse crew that includes mechanics, tour guides, retirees. Many bring spouses and children along.
Even politics are set aside. A U.S. diplomat sometimes shows up with the 2007 Harley he brought to the island. So does the youngest son and namesake of Ernesto "Che" Guevara, though he was unable to make it to the gathering on Saturday because a part on his motorcycle broke, said Kristen Mac Queen, a Canadian woman married to the leader of one of the clubs.
At the two-day gathering, about a block from the waves in Varadero, the Harlistas were entering skill competitions like catching hot dogs in their mouths from bike-back and seeing who can ride the slowest without putting his feet down. There were also awards for the oldest, best-restored and most classic bikes, and the greatest distance traveled.
It was up to attendees to cover expenses like gas, lodging and meals, with the exception of a dinner donated by a Canadian resident of Varadero. The event was put together independently by the Harlistas themselves on a budget of less than $1,000, with the goal of promoting restoration and maintenance of the bikes.
Organizers said they plan to make the event an annual fixture and, if successful, next year give Harley-lovers from other countries the chance to cruise with them through Cuba's verdant countryside.
"I've always ridden other bikes, but getting on a Harley is different. It's another way to roll. It can't be described verbally, it's something inside you," Fonseca said when asked about his hog's deafening roar. "That's why they say what they say about the Harley, they say in English, 'Live to ride."'

I left it for the extra 3 to clean up after itself before racking to secondary on top of the first dry hop addition. I dry hop in a nylon bag so there is not a lot of sludge in the secondary when I rack. The bitterness and maltyness go hand in hand, it's not that bitter. The dry hops at a candy, citrusy, piney like aroma as soon as you open the bottle (I bottled this batch). This will become a mainstay at my place. Cheers, Enjoy!
What is the SRM? I just tried Maumee bay rye level double ipa and it was delicious, had centennial...this recipe looks close
And ibu?
Both are listed in recipe, but here they are again. These are beersmith calculated so by no means approximate. SRM 10 IBU 183 I never had Maumee Bay Rye IPA, but this was delicious. Next time I brew this I'm going to cut the first Columbus addition to 2 1/2 oz. If you brew this please post back. Cheers!
How is the rye flavor?
The rye is definately there and goes well with the bitterness. The rye is not overpowering and if you are a big rye fan I would bump it up to 3-3 1/2lbs of rye.
Sounds great. Excited to see what you think

Anybody know what the front and back tire pressure should be for this model? It's my sister's, she can't find/read the recommended tire pressure on the vehicle's tire information label/manual. I tried to google it before posting here but haven't been able to find the right info.
Thanks PS: BTW, she said she called the dealer and was told to take the car in, the person who spoke with her on the phone said he didn't have that information. How can this be? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Is there an owner's manual available, maybe in the glove box. Recommended tire pressures should be in that publication. |

The tire pressure info on the sticker is illegible and there is no reference to it in the owner's manual. If somebody could let me know what the correct tire pressure for the Passat is, front and rear, it'd be very helpful. Thanks. |
38 psi is what the VW book says.And the comment about a "A real service adviser must know the pressure", that's Laughable. You show me a Service MANAGER that knows the various PSIs' and Capacities and so forth for various models and years off the top of his head.Just because he didn't know the exact PSI, without having to go and look it up, is no reason to stop going to that Dealer. You'd be hard pressed to find a Dealer that wouldn't try and get you into thier service Dept. |
A real VW service adviser must know what the tire pressures are (right now 30 to 32 psi is close enough). If not, find a better dealer. And what would be the reason for bringing the car in ?? My 1999 Jetta's owner's manual didn't even specify the size and type of replacement bulbs for the car. Instead, it suggested I go to the dealer (and, implicitly, spend $20 or $30 replacing the $1.50 bulb in the taillight). FWIW, that same manual lists about eight different tire pressures for Jetta tires, based on their size and the load being carried. Multiply that by six or seven different models in the VW lineup, and that's more than anyone could reasonably expect to keep in their head. Now, they could have looked it up for the customer, but carguy is right -- no self-respecting service writer would let a chance like that slip by. |

Hi all, I,ve been a Ford Mechanic for 35 yrs and trained by Ford Mtr. Co. and currently I am the Service Manager at one of the biggest Ford Dealerships in the country. I agree with Steve o and the carguy about the service manager not knowing all the answers. We get calls on a daily basis from owners asking for things that are shocking. I had a call a couple of months ago from a lady who asked, " How often should I have the >AIR< rotated in my Tires". She insisted she knew what she was talking about and got very angry when I attempted to explain to her that Air doesn't need to be rotated. I guess what I'm trying to say is if someone honestly thinks that a service manager, or service Writer should know all the answers when asked over the phone about things, like Air Pressure, then that person has never worked in this capacity. Don't let a comment from one unknowledgeable person be the deciding factor in you going to another Dealer. However, if you already had a problem with them, then find one that makes you happy. |
Yup, sometimes us wimmen insist we know what we're talking about... Years ago, I called around looking for a part for my car. The first place I called asked for the year, make and model and I told him. Then he asked how many cylinders. It being an Audi 5000, I told him; five. At the end of the line was dead silence...then a long drawn out sigh and then "No hon, it either has 4 or 6...they don't MAKE 5 cylinder cars." At that point I hung up on him. Yup, it still p!$$es me off... But I have to admit the rotating the air thing is a hoot! |
Valtog wrote: "Yup, sometimes us wimmen insist we know what we're talking about..." And sometimes us guys realize there is nothing to gain by correcting wimmen when they aren't so..... VBG.... Sure your Audi has a 5cyl. But when your calling a parts store, your not talking to a tech. You are talking to (likely a minimum wage, or slightly above) peron trained to input information in multiple choice format into a computer, and then it gives them choices. Get one thing wrong, such as model or year, and suddenly they could get a choice of a 4cyl or 6cyl engine and not have 5cyl listed in front of them. Trust me, most of the people at the parts stores are limited to what the screen shows them, and over time if they stick it out they learn where the pitfalls are in their line of work. A more experienced counter person, familliar with Audi would have started looking at his/her input of model and year when you said it was a 5cyl, and he/she didn't have that as a choice on the screen. BTW remember, the old line you get what you pay for? If the parts store wanted more experienced people at the desk, they would have to pay more to have them and keep them. That means a higher price to you in the end, because that money comes from somnewhere, and that somewhere is the customer. Which brings me to the newest phase we deal with. Every parts supplier now has a website that we log into and look up and order our parts ourselves on line. When we submit our order, it simply prints the parts slip out at our local store. Then they pull the parts and deliver them. Thereby shifting the burden of making sure the parts are correct onto us, and reducing their payroll at the same time. Cute, real cute, IMO. |
The point I was trying to make (and this has happened to me more than once..Like the guy that tried to charge me three times the going labor rate for a new carburetor because....it was...Japanese! Like the guy that tried to sell me a used jetta because "I looked so cute in it"...but I told him it needed a new exhaust....) was that most men assume that I don't know jack and it irritates me. And my husband will be the first to attest to the fact that I admit it when I'm wrong...maybe that's why I'm still happily married after 20 years... |
When I was really young and stupid (but not stupid enough) I went in for an oil change, tune-up and "getting my air rotated", I was told that my engine was "weak as kitten" needed new....so I took it to have the compression tested and woohoo miracles occur! It was fine...and that was a mechanic that I had been going to for 4 years...wonder what else he screwed me on or if he just got greedy or his orthodontist needed a down payment. To end on a positive note, I found an honest mechanic that I used faithfully for 8 years till I bought my new car. |
English Cottage wrote : PS: BTW, she said she called the dealer and was told to take the car in, the person who spoke with her on the phone said he didn't have that information. How can this be? The question was about tire pressure, not nuclear physics; I made it my business to know some simple facts about cars that I serviced; IMO, when a customer calls a dealer service man, the man should be able to give a straight answer OR be able to look it up quickly without making a federal case out of it. The point is to give the customer the best possible service..If the adviser does not know his product, he should return to sweeping floors or flipping hamburgers.. Another point is that far too many people do not read, even their owner's manual.But in a way, one cannot blame them, some manuals are so loaded with the safety nazi agenda and a thousand sales pitches, that it becomes a complete turn-off... Hard to believe that the VW manual has no tire pressure info inside... |
Check with your local library. If they subscribe to an on-line auto repair manual service, then you may be able to access this service to find the information you seek. |
Doesn't it also depend on the tires? I mean; the 'standard' tires that came with my Jetta are just one of man 'standard' tires that come on them, I've found out. Just as it is for my F150's. Perhaps the tire manufacturer's website will have the correct pressure for that tire and that model? |
- Posted by duanejacobs (My Page) on Thu, Aug 4, 11 at 5:05
Should there be a tire pressure variation will greatly depend on the tires the car is using. |

Ok, my cousin and I were having a discussion via facebook and she told me her Peony that has bloomed year after year suddenly has no buds this year. I asked her if she dumped some dirt over it since last spring or anything different and she said no. Any ideas? It's got plenty of leaves but no buds. She lives in northwestern Arkansas. |

Is it really near grass that got fertilized with high nitrogen fertilizer? Don't think anyone had a much warmer winter than normal last year so lack of cold probably isn't the issue. If the peony is getting wider and the middle is dying out it might be time to divide this fall, that'll make it start putting out flowers again the following spring. Did any buds try to start at all? |
Thank you LizinElizabeth. She didn't mention fertilizing, but I will ask. I thought maybe the division thing could be a possibility, but I figured it would at least have some buds on it. I know I read that when they need dividing it can make them not produce as many flowers, but I didn't know whether or not it would cause it not to bud altogether. I'll message her tomorrow and ask her to look closer to make sure if any tried to start. Maybe she just didn't look close enough, but from what she told me there aren't any formed yet. |
Ok,chatted with her this morning...She said no one has fertilized or put any chemicals down. She did go and look and posted a few pics of some VERY small buds, like Pea sized or a little under. All of my Peony's buds are way bigger than that by now except for a few duds here and there that obviously aren't going to do anything. So it is possible that it's bud blast from that freeze we had? I doubt she covered it up, but I have read usually Peonies do fine even uncovered especially if they are mature. Any other ideas what could be causing it? |
Three of my old peonies did not bud or bloom this year. I have marked them for digging this fall and dividing. I will replant the best divisions after having composted the area. In my case I believe over the years too much soil accumulated over the roots, which were more than ten years in the ground. Al |

- Posted by flowergirl70ks 5/6KS (My Page) on Fri, May 9, 14 at 8:56
How does she water? In my case it was laying the hose down to water and more soil washed over to make the buds too deep. Grew well but less bloom. |

text: The "elite 2%" that maintain weight loss? I know I've read stats in various places but this one was in the new Clean Eating Magazine. Saying that there is an elite 2% that lose weight and keep it off. I am a stat, having lost weight then gained part of it back, now am trying to lose the same 10 lbs again. Not trying hard enough, and I am finding it HARD to lose and keep it off. But it can't REALLY be that only 2% of people lose and keep it off. Perhaps they don't keep it ALL off as I didn't... but I'm finding before that I lost so much weight for my bone structure I was getting quite thin, too much, and it wasn't realistic to maintain the size 8 for my 5'9 figure. So instead of aiming for bikini thin I'm being realistic, and even if I lose 5 more lbs I'll be at my mostly happy weight - without the belly that I can't stand. I dont' need to be a part of the "elite" 2% if there really is such a thing, I'd just like to maintain a healthy weight, without unheathly tummy fat, for the rest of my life.... Ok, as with all of us there's the vanity thing, I like my jeans and clothes and fashion too!

Frances Moore Lappé visits USD
Frances Moore Lappé lead a discussion with USD students on how to foster the development of a living democracy in their communities. The session was moderated by Dr. Nordyke. Was Free and open to the public.
Old Main, Farber Hall, USD
Tuesday, April 22, 2014, 2:00-3:15pm
Frances Moore Lappé gave a lecture based on her book EcoMind and fielded questions, followed by a book signing.
Was Free and open to the public.
Assistant Professor of Sustainability Meghann Jarchow
Frances Moore Lappé, the author of the 3-million copy Diet for a Small Planet, will be coming to USD for Earth Day. Lappé is the author of 18 books including her most recent book EcoMind: Changing the Way We Think, to Create the World We Want. Jane Goodall said, "EcoMind will open your eyes and change your thinking. I want everyone to read it." Lappé is the cofounder of three non-profit organizations including the Small Planet Institute, which is a collaborative network for research and population education seeking to bring democracy to life. She has received numerous honors including the Right Livelihood Award (considered an "Alternative Nobel"), 18 honorary doctorates, the James Beard Foundation Humanitarian of the Year Award, and the International Studies Association's Outstanding Public Scholar Award. She is a frequent contributor to television, print, Internet, and radio media including The Today Show, National Public Radio, the British Broadcasting Company, the Huffington Post, the New York Times, Harper's, The Nation, People, and Alternet.
A foundational concept developed by Lappé and promoted in EcoMind and through her work with the Small Planet Institute is that of a living democracy. Lappé defines living democracy as infusing the power of our voices and values throughout our public lives; not only our political lives but also our economic and cultural lives. It has values of inclusion, fairness, and mutual accountability. Developing a living democracy is critical to developing a sustainable society because it allows us to become powerful agents of change. Lappé posits that many of the problems in the world today are caused by a general "premise of lack" – believing that there is a lack of goods and a lack of goodness in people – when, in fact, there are ample goods and people tend to behave altruistically when put in the right situations. When people become active and engaged citizens, they are able to create the conditions needed to bring about the best in people and to create positive change.

Oil & Natural Gas Corp. (ONGC), India's biggest energy explorer, and GAIL India Ltd. (GAIL) are unlikely to counter a 1.1 billion pound ($1.7 billion) offer by PTT Exploration & Production Pcl (PTTEP) for Cove Energy Plc (COV), three people familiar with the matter said.
The state-owned Indian companies have valued Cove at about $1.3 billion and topping PTT's bid would be too expensive, one of the people said, asking not to be identified because the deliberations are confidential. The Times of India today reported that ONGC and GAIL may team up to offer $2 billion for Cove, leading the two companies to issue a statement confirming they're participating in the sale process.
PTT Exploration, Thailand's only listed oil and gas company, last week trumped a 992.4 million pound bid by Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA) for the African explorer and said it expects high competition from international rivals. Cove owns a stake in a deposit in Mozambique that may hold enough gas to justify exports to China and India, the world's fastest-growing major economies.
"Valuations for Cove already look pretty high," said Rina Sanghavi, a Kolkata-based research analyst at SPA Securities Ltd., which advises investors buy ONGC shares. "They have to take some risk at some point if they want access to reserves. Oil deals aren't cheap any longer."
ONGC and GAIL, India's biggest distributor of natural gas, were considering jointly bidding for London-based Cove Energy, two people with knowledge of the matter said Feb. 21.
No Decision
ONGC and GAIL are participating in the Cove sale process, the two companies said today in a regulatory statement.
"No decision has been by the consortium whether to make an offer for Cove or the price at which any such offer may be made," according to the statement. "There can be no certainty that the consortium will make an offer for Cove."
ONGC rose 0.8 percent, the most since Feb. 21, to 283.40 rupees at the close in Mumbai. The stock has risen 10 percent this year compared with a 15 percent increase in the benchmark Sensitive Index. GAIL rose 0.7 percent. Cove Energy, which surged as much as 4.3 percent, gained 2 percent at 10:31 a.m. in London.
Cove holds 8.5 percent in a block off Mozambique where operator Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC) has found as much as 30 trillion cubic feet of gas. Standard Chartered Plc is advising Cove, which put itself up for sale last month. The transaction depends on approval from the Mozambique government.

More Reasons to Invest in Sarepta With Caution
Investor pushback on this issue seems to rely largely on the interpretation of management comments from semi-public breakout sessions or other small group settings. Unfortunately, I wasn't present at those meetings.
In general, it's usually not a good sign when the smaller biotech company appears to be taking a more aggressive path to market than the large-cap pharmaceutical company. Having said that, the question of what might be acceptable to the FDA, especially in the face of what will likely be significant pressure from patient advocates, remains murky.
Some investors suggested that FDA concern about the observation of proteinuria -- protein in the urine -- among patients treated with GSK-2402968 forced Glaxo to conduct long-term randomized studies. That's certainly reasonable, and requires that we return to the literature for more information.
As a reminder, both Sarepta's eteplirsen and Glaxo's GSK-2402968 induce the body to "skip" a section of the exon (a sequence of nucleic acids) that codes for dystrophin, a protein critical to muscle repair that is dysfunctional in patients with DMD. Think of a row of puzzle pieces with one missing. Eteplirsen and GSK-2402968 facilitate creation of a semi-functional protein by hiding a mismatched puzzle piece (exon 51), which in turn enables matching puzzle pieces (sections of protein) on either side of the mutation to connect.
Although more-or-less functionally equivalent, the two drug candidates use different chemical maneuvering to outwit the body's immune system. Glaxo and Prosensa's compound belongs to an older class of molecule -- it's a 2'-O-methyl phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotide, or 2'OMe AO, for you nerds out there -- which has the advantage of having been studied extensively in preclinical and clinical studies. The disadvantages are a relatively narrow therapeutic index and apparent uptake of filtered oligonucleotide by the proximal tubules in the kidney. This latter observation does not appear linked to kidney toxicity, although it's something to watch. Sarepta uses newer, so-called morpholino chemistry for the design of eteplirsen. This chemistry affords eteplirsen a wide therapeutic window, good stability in vivo, and no obvious toxicity signal. The downside is the unknown, since morpholino chemistry has limited preclinical and clinical data. Those looking to dig deeper on the chemistry of these drugs should start by reading the excellent review article published in the July 2011 American Journal of Pathology (Hoffman E, et al.
