Methods, Materials, Processes and Practices
by JarredFisher , June 28, 2011—12:00 AM
To help potential collectors understand what it is they are investing in, and in the interest of full disclosure, I have compiled the following outline explaining all of my working practices and materials. From priming and painting, to sales and shipping, I disclose the types of materials and how they are used in my work to make it easy for collectors and conservators alike to know exactly what chemicals were used so that maintaining works is made easy. Because this list covers everything, and is intended to educate buyers, it is quite lengthy. For this reason I have presented the information in outline form so that collectors may easily find the section(s) that pertain to them and skip over sections that do not. Most general questions should be answered somewhere below. I have included a short glossary of terms at the end of the outline in case further clarification is needed on any industry terms. Should you have any further questions or concerns, simply contact me.
In this section I will list of all the materials I use in my oil paintings. I always use archival painting practices and materials.
I use three brands of artist oil colors in my studio: Gamblin artist oils, Williamsburg handmade oil paint, and Winsor and Newton Artist Oil colors. The main reason I use these paints is because of their unrivaled quality and their proven archival properties. In the case of Gamblin artist oils, Robert Gamblin, the founder of Gamblin Artist products and a world class conservator, publishes all of his processes and extensive research on each individual color, medium, and ground making it very easy for future conservators to maintain works. Williamsburg oils, manufactured in NY, are also similarly accessible. I keep the following colors and mediums in the studio.
Gamblin- Stand Oil
Gamblin- Gamsol solvent
Gamblin- Gamvar varnish. This low molecular weight, removable, final varnish is arguably one of the best synthetic varnishes for oils on the market. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Papers - I use a few types of papers for pastel painting but I most consistently use Sennelier__??s La Carte pastel card and a prepared paper made using 300lb Fabriano Artistico hot press watercolor paper.
Sennelier__??s La Carte is a beautiful support to work on with pastels. It is thick (similar to thin cardboard), archival, very toothy (helping reduce the need for excess fixative and further increasing the archival qualities of the finished pastel work), and comes in a variety of colors which imparts a harmonious effect to the colors of the finished work. It requires no additional work to prepare other than to cut the paper.
Prepared paper begins with a piece of 300lb Fabriano Artistico traditional white, hot pressed, watercolor paper which gets 1 coat of Liquitex acrylic gesso. Once dry, 2 coats of Art Spectrum__??s Colourfix pastel primer, tinted with various liquitex or golden acrylic paints, are applied. This provides a versatile ground that allows for some degree of mixed media techniques, such as ink washes, underneath the ensuing pastel layers.
Panels - Occasionally I will use a panel for a pastel work. The only panel I use is Ampersand__??s Pastelboard, which is Ampersand Hardboard with a pastel primer rolled on it. Sometimes I will mount one of the above papers on a masonite panel.
I use Unison, Sennelier, Great American Artworks, Rembrandt, and NuPastel pastels. I use the harder pastels for lay in and work up to the softer ones, sealing the work in layers with high quality Lascaux spray fixative. The final work also gets 2 coats of Lascaux fix. The layers of fixative combined with the high quality pastels and the archival, toothy papers make for lasting works of art.
Due to their nature, works done in pastel require extra attention when it comes to storing and displaying them. Unlike hard wearing oil paints and incredibly stable acrylic colors (both of which can be hung without framing) pastels are essentially loose dust applied to a sandpaper-like surface which makes them susceptible to smudging (even with fixative), bleaching/ fading caused by extreme light conditions, and rotting due to moisture (including humidity). This is why pastel work should be framed under glass (preferably a museum grade, UV filtering glass) and with an acid and lignin free mat. The matting helps keep the artwork back from the glass, which can attract loose pastel particles. The glass protects the work from smudging, sunlight, and moisture, and the frame backing helps keep the work safe from dust, dirt, and water. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Silverpoint (also known as metalpoint) drawing has been around since the times of the Old Masters. The drawings are produced by rubbing a piece of metal (silver, gold, lead, copper, etc.) onto a piece of prepared paper, canvas, or board. The metal comes off in superfine particles and bonds with the absorbent ground producing a tone. The color of the tone produced depends on the type of metal used. For instance, silver has a cooler tone (initially, it gets very warm, almost brown as it ages) then gold and copper takes on a slightly green tone with time. Since the rubbed metal doesn__??t smudge or fade, silverpoint drawings are capable of extreme, delicate detail and are the very definition of long lasting. As time passes the image takes on a slightly different tonal and color shifts as the various metals oxidize. ---SUBSTRATES: ---
Paper- I use 300lb, hot pressed, Fabriano Artistico watercolor paper and Crescent Watercolor boards prepared with Golden Silverpoint and drawing ground. Golden__??s ground is an absorbent acrylic base which maintains flexibility and is archival. I can tint the ground with any acrylic paint or ink.
.999, Dead-Soft, Sterling Silver points shaped in various points and diameters. India Ink for extra fine, dark lines.
.995 Pure Platinum, Dead soft
24K Gold, Dead soft and Half-hard
18K and 14K White Gold, Dead Soft and Half Hard
Copper, Dead Soft
Bronze, Dead Soft
Steel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchasing ready-made (non-commission) works through Artid.com is simple. I am verified on Paypal with a confirmed address and all you have to do is click purchase to commit to buy. Once you have committed to buy, please contact me so I can provide the shipping quote, and in the case of pastel or mixed media work, to discuss with you framing options and price (see framing section below). Once the work, shipping, and framing are paid for, I will begin to pack the work for shipping to you. I also will accept personal and bank/cashier__??s checks. In the instance of checks, please contact me (you can use the contact page in my studio area of Artid) and I will put the work on hold for you until I receive the check and it clears.
Potential buyers are welcome to come by the studio and view works in person before committing to buy. Simply get in touch to schedule a visit. I am willing to negotiate the price of any of my ready-made works and they can be put on hold and paid off in installments for those interested in doing so. Contact me to negotiate prices and/or to set up a payment plan. Inquires into work listed ??not for sale?__ are welcome.
I am also available to work on commission. I can work both from life and photographs and can create a work specifically tailored to fit the space in which you wish display it. I can speak to sizes, colors, styles, and types of work, and how they will interact with your space. Whether it__??s a wedding portrait, a landscape with your summer beach home, a portrait of your pets, a still life, or simply a non-objective piece to bring a room or office to life, I will work with you to produce something that you will love. To begin a dialogue about a commissioned artwork, simply contact me with your general ideas (subject, medium, size, space where it__??s to be displayed).
Once a commission has been agreed upon, 15% of the total value of the work is paid up front. This covers all start-up materials and preparatory work (sketches, photo editing, ect) and is NON-REFUNDABLE. Throughout the working process I will update you with photos (via e-mail) of the progress of your work. If you are in the area you are also welcome to schedule a drop-by to see the progress of your commission. Making incremental payments throughout the working process is not uncommon, but not required. However, upon completion of the work you are expected to have the total value fully paid within thirty (30) days.
Please contact me so I may e-mail you a copy of my commission agreement for you to review.
All prints are traditional silver process art prints on archival Endura print papers and are hand signed by the artist. They are guaranteed archival for over 200 years. They come with Certificates of authenticity. Prints ship rolled in tubes unless the buyer requests framing (paid for by the buyer, see framing below), in which case they ship protected in boxes the same as original artwork.
Most artwork comes unframed and unmatted. I am not a professional framer. However, should a buyer want a work framed I am willing to work with you to get a frame and/or mat that will fit the work. I can order the frame and place the work in it properly. The buyer pays for everything related to the frame but I do not charge to put the work in it. Pastel work and mixed media works done on paper must be matted and framed under glass in order to be hung and displayed. The buyer pays for this after committing to purchase unless otherwise stated. Should a buyer not wish to pay for framing at the time of purchase then the pastel or mixed media work will ship in an archival polystyrene sleeve with hand-sewn bindings and an archival, acid-free, black backing (no extra charge). This is more than sufficient to protect the work during storage until the buyer can have the work framed at the frame shop of their choice.
Once payment is complete, whether it__??s via Paypal or a check clearing, I will begin to package the work for shipping. The buyer pays all shipping costs, which are determined by the size, weight, and amount material needed to safely pack the work. I typically will use a box-in-box technique that helps prevent damage to the work during shipping. I use bubble wrap, packing peanuts, newsprint, and generally anything soft to safely secure the work from moving about and suffering impact damage. I will also mark the package as fragile. All work ships with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA). These are hand signed and are intended to make re-selling the work easier. Shipping typically takes place 2-5 days upon payment clearing. The speed of the shipping is determined by buyer preference. Insurance can be requested. Collectors may also pick up their work in person if they choose to. Please contact me after purchasing to set up a pick up time and place.
It is recommended that you see a professional conservator to clean any work. The materials I use and list here should make it easy for a conservator to properly care for and clean my art work. There are a few good things to note however about how to keep artworks from needing professional help and how to take care of minor issues yourself. 1. Do not display the artwork in direct sunlight. Also, do not keep a work in an excessively dark place (especially true for oil paintings). 2. Keep works out of areas subject to large changes in temperature and humid conditions. 3. Keep works out of areas which have excessive moisture (bathrooms in which you will take hot showers for example). 4. Keep works out of areas where people will be smoking a lot. Smoke darkens and yellows works. 5. Store paintings made on stretched canvas sitting up. Never lay them flat as the canvas may sag. Never lean anything on them as this can dent the canvas. 6. Always store works made on paper flat. If you are storing multiple works on top of one another flat, separate them with sheets of glassine paper. 7. Should your oil painting or mixed media work with oil paint used in it darken and yellow from being kept in a dark area, place it in sunlight for a few hours. The color vibrancy will return. 8. Should you dent a canvas or if your canvas sags due to excess humidity change simply take a lightly dampened cloth and lightly wet the back of the canvas until tension returns. Try and avoid having to do this a lot. 9. If your work is suffering from any serious damage, or is getting very old and needs cleaning, contact a professional conservator. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Archival- Refers to works and materials that are intended to and produced to last. Archival work is produced to be extremely resistant to premature aging including fading, darkening, yellowing, acid decay, cracking, peeling and should be acid free, ph-neutral, and lightfast.
Lightfast- Refers to the color properties of pigments as they are exposed to light. Lightfast pigments will not fade or exhibit color change with exposure to light. Fugitive pigments are not lightfast and are highly likely to fade and change color. Alizarin (a deep, cool, scarlet red) is a fugitive pigment and over time will fade. Purple mixtures made with non-permanent Alizarin will fade to a blue color.
Substrate- Also known as ??supports.?__ This is the surface that a work of art is created upon. Canvas, Panels, and Paper are all common types of substrates.
Sizing- The initial layer of priming applied to the substrate. It is intended to seal the support and protect the following layers from SID (support induced discoloration) which can discolor the finished work. It also provides a stable layer with proper adhesion for the ensuing layers of priming.
Ground- The layer of priming which the painting/work is produced on. In oil painting, absorbent grounds pull oil from the paint layers whilst non-absorbent grounds do not. Grounds must have the proper tooth to grab the type of paint used and provide correct adhesion to avoid future peeling.
Ready-made/Commission Art- Ready-made works are just that; artworks already created by the artist at the time of purchase. Commissioned works are tailored to buyer__??s specifications and made for them.
Varnish- The final layer that goes on top of the artwork and is intended to help seal and protect the work from UV damage, dirt and dust. True varnish should be removable so that the work may be cleaned in the future without damaging it.
Hot-Pressed Watercolor Paper/Board- A very smooth paper. Allows for intricate details because it has no pronounced textured. This is opposite of cold press watercolor paper which is rough and textured.

What is transaction-based acceleration, what benefits are users seeing, and where does it fit into the verification cycle? That's the topic of a paper that will be given at CDNLive! Silicon Valley Oct. 26, and as such I thought some background might be helpful. Much of the following information comes from a recent conversation with Raj Mathur, senior product manager at Cadence.
(Things are not always so simple in real life. The Cadence Palladium XP Verification Computing Platform, for instance, is both an accelerator and an emulator, and it allows a "hybrid" mode that can combine acceleration with in-circuit emulation).
Acceleration speeds up a simulator, and should provide most or all of the benefits of simulation. However, acceleration has traditionally used a signal-level interface between the software testbench and the accelerated DUT. This involves bit-level communication and can result in a severe bottleneck due to the communication channel or the testbench itself.
Coming Up to Transactions
With transaction-based acceleration, that interface is brought from a signal level up to a transaction or "message" level. This greatly reduces communication channel overhead. As a result, Raj said, transaction-based acceleration may run 50X, 100X, or 1000X faster than software simulation, depending on the testbench.
Several recent examples have been documented. In one, Hitachi achieved a 100X simulation speedup using transaction-based acceleration. In another example, Hitachi achieved a 10,000X performance boost using transaction-based acceleration and high-level synthesis. In a third example Sigma Designs, a media processor SoC company, processed one standard definition (SD) video frame in 1.9 seconds using transaction-based acceleration compared to 15 minutes in simulation.
As shown below, the transaction-based communication between the workstation and the hardware is handled with the Accellera Standard Co-Emulation Modeling Interface (SCE-MI 2.0) standard. A "proxy" model on the software side converts transactions to messages and then passes them to a communications channel interface. In general, no state-specific information is transmitted. The communications channel(s) buffer and transfer messages to and from the proxy model and bus functional model (BFM). These communications channels are formed using SCE-MI. The BFM receives messages from the communications channel and converts them to appropriate state changes on the signal-level interface. You can learn more about this in a recent whitepaper called "De-Mystifying SCE-MI transactors for simulation acceleration."
Cadence offers verification intellectual property (VIP) transactors that supply proxies and BFMs for common protocols such as PCI Express and USB. In the Cadence environment, you can run a mixed signal-level and transaction-based acceleration. This is useful when some parts of the verification environment are still signal-based, but not so much as to seriously slow the overall communications.
So where does acceleration fit into the verification cycle? At the start of the RTL verification process, little or nothing has been synthesized, and users typically run software simulation only. Next, when some portions of the design are synthesized, or if behavioral constructs can be supported in the hardware, they can be moved into the accelerator/emulator.
This is when acceleration comes into the picture. Users often start with signal-level acceleration and then move into transaction-based acceleration to attain speeds approaching those of emulation. To make this work, the tool chain must provide a smooth transition from simulation to acceleration and emulation. In addition, the availability of VIP can greatly ease adoption.
Finally, when the entire design and the testbench are synthesized, emulation can commence, along with its blazing fast speeds and capability to run on target hardware. Transaction-based acceleration is not only a convenient stepping-stone between pure software simulation and pure hardware emulation, but it also increases virtual accessibility for software developers who need to validate their software program or algorithms earlier in the design and verification phase.
Transaction-Based Acceleration at CDNLive!
The CDNLive! paper, scheduled for the System Realization track at 1:35 p.m., is titled "Transaction Based Acceleration: Strong Ammunition in any Verification Arsenal." Varun Gupta from Cadence is a co-author. The on-line abstract says the following:
Hardware acceleration of the existing testbench not only allows the discovery of deep bugs by enabling any simulator to be accelerated while maintaining metric-driven verification methods and use models, but also serves as a unique bridge between simulation and in-circuit emulation. This early-phase acceleration, which enables gradual movement of behavioral design blocks into the synthesizable domain, allows smoother transition into and faster bringup of in-circuit emulation, improving overall productivity and time to market.
Separately from CDNLive!, a recent blog interview shows how a customer, Silicon Hive, used transaction-based acceleration to speed its verification process. This is a technology that is quickly gaining attention.

Ok so I'm pretty much done with pregnancy now. Between chronic heartburn and horrendously swollen ankles I'm getting pretty desperate to see the end even though that's means going through labour. My pregnancy hormones are at full capacity and the poor Husband is coping amazingly well with my raging mood swings. I think both of us will be glad when this is over and it's not just because we'll get to meet our baby!
Hotel Stay: The Best Hotel In The UK
On our recent trip back to the UK we treated ourselves to a mini break in the Cotswolds. I hadn't been to this gorgeous part of England for many years and I wanted The Scottish Husband to see some of the more beautiful areas of the country his wife is from. Despite him having lived in London for several years prior to moving to Dubai he hasn't seen much of the middle of the country.
Latest Beauty Buys
Most of my purchases have recently been baby centred as we await the impending arrival of our new little person. I have however, found time (and a tiny bit of money!) to purchase a few items for myself. These have been my favourite beauty buys over the last month or so.

GM donates $10,000 to plant trees at Chevy in the Hole site
Sat, 04 May 2013 01:46:01 GMT —
Just two days after announcing plans to buy the first Durant-Dort Carriage Company factory in Flint, General Motors announced a plan Friday to preserve another historical site.
The automaker presented Flint city leaders with a $10,000 check to be used to buy and plant trees on the Chevy in the Hole manufacturing site.
The trees will be used to mitigate pollutants in the soil and groundwater. The city of Flint is planning to turn the parcel into a green space along the river and open it up to educational, recreational and environmental uses.
â??By using land for an intentional purpose, even if it's not commercially used, makes the city feel whole again so if we can get this re-greened, it's a big step forward,â?? said Congressman Dan Kildee (D-Flint Township) who was on hand for the presentation.
The announcement was made at the opening of the Free City Public Art Festival that continues until Sunday. This year's theme is â??Reclaim, Transform.â??

How to give research paper presentation
Know the requirements. Each presentation for each class is going to be a bit different. Some instructors will be happy with 3 minutes while others will demand you stand there awkwardly for 7. Know your audience. Perhaps you are applying to attend the ACC Meeting of the Minds undergraduate research conference. Or it could be a requirement for a class or for your major. As you decide what to present, keep in mind that a ten-minute talk is very different from a 45-minute lecture.

Black-and-white images capture the power of summer storms
Summer in North America means severe weather for much of the continent. Powerful storms are usually accompanied by unusual cloud formations, tell-tale signs of the violent weather patterns that spawn turbulent weather. Photographer Mitch Dobrowner and guide Roger Hill have spent the past few summers traveling the interior of the US on the lookout for foul weather, and creating inspiring black-and-white images in the process.

For those who prefer this subject genre in color by another talented photographer:
Thakur Dalip Singh, I think Dobrowner has had a DSLR infrared conversion .... http://www.lifepixel.com
Great meteorological opportunities thanks to being in a land particularly prone to this phenomena. Very nicely accomplished compositions.
But as a result of abusing too much of the 'structure' tool in either Viveza or Silver Efex (Nik software plugins) to exaggerate the microcontrast of the clouds' textures, these images turn up to show totally unreal sceneries.
Yes, exactly, me too, but this is something one has to learn, like training one's vision and other subtle aspects of photography that can lead you to a better artist and keep you away from mediocrity.
a good example is Mona Lisa.
it has color but not vivid (maybe a bit brigther when new),
it's no low angle, no wide angle, just a standard portait lens.
it looks flat, balanced with no dynamic lines or shapes,
it has great artistic depth that we can never reach the end.
in the contrary, high microcontrast often means shallow.
Great Images.
Did u shoot in color then convert to BxW or u shoot BxW in Digital cameras?
Which camera bodies?
Bravo for sharing it Dpreview. These photos will haunt my dreams. Unbelievable.
Those black and white are just gorgeous. I would love to be on a tornado chasing crew to capture those kinds of images.
And he's got even better pictures on his website: http://www.mitchdobrowner.com/
Bring it on yabokie show ure hand, in colour
I'm not sure I like the particular tonemapping algorithm used, especially on the first photo. There are halos visible.
Striking captures, yes, but I think the post processing needs a little more work.
How in the world do you make out halos on such a small image on a computer screen?
There are no halos. That is the way such storm clouds like when backlit with bright light.
Excellent pictures and lovely website. I would love to go storm chasing in the US (feel really really grieved at the people who loose their homes, that is terrible). Storms in Blightly are well, just awful.
It's just nature doing its thing. Everyone that lives in the interior of America knows something like that can happen.
it's easy to take the photos just like stage shows only we are not invited with place and time printed on a card.
would recommend the west (Oklahoma-Dakota) where you can drive fast to escape and less house debris that can penetrate your car easily (sheet steel becomes sheet paper).
I think it works both ways.
we prefer colors because that's the way we see the world. but it may attract our eyes when we see something awkwardly different (low angle, wide angle, vivid/no color, etc.) and this is a trick often used by people who may have problems otherwise.
monochrome, 2D and still, all these are temporary formats of presentations that we use not from artists point of view but because of technical limitations.
using available technologies, we develop and perfect languages of expressions before we can overcome the limitations and move on.
Awesome post but all three of those photographs shown, and every other one on the photographer's site under "Storms," is of American extreme weather, not Canadian, Mexican, Nicaraguan, or any other country on the continent. Since that is the case why are you mentioning the continent??
Sorry, but the increasingly common habit of referring to the continent every time something America specific is mentioned is getting very old, and annoying. People that write for a living should not be making such obvious mistakes.
Sorry Basalite, but your country is the United States, not America. The continent is called North America; the U.S. cannot hijack the name 'America' as its own. And while these pictures are within the U.S. borders, rest assured we in Canada get some awesome clouds too. But of course, everything is better south of the border....
Eventually you get so far south you can only go north.
The name of the country is The United States of America. So saying America is shorthand for USA.
No one would think the word America refers to El Salvador.
The name of the country is The United States of America.
No one would think the word "America" refers to El Salvador.
No one would think the words "United States" refers to Indonesia.
No one would think the word "States" refers to matter.
No one would think the word "United" refers to Manchester FC.
No one would think the word "The" refers to French Earl Gray blend.
"Sorry Basalite, but your country is the United States, not America."
The only people that I have run into that make such a silly comment are those that are simply anti-American. The name of the country is the United States of America, or simply America, just as it is the case for the United States of Mexico, or simply Mexico. That has always been the case.
"The continent is called North America; the U.S. cannot hijack the name 'America' as its own."
When did I say the continent wasn't called "North America?" The story is of pictures taken in America, the country. A country that has always had that name.
"And while these pictures are within the U.S. borders, rest assured we in Canada get some awesome clouds too.
So? That has nothing to do with the geographical and editorial mistakes of this article. Fact is, no pictures were taken in Canada.
"But of course, everything is better south of the border...."
You're showing your anti-Americanism, as I suspected.
Thanks for posting these images - very spectacular, and well rendered. We rarely see anything in our part of the world (South Australia) quite like the cloud formations North America regularly experiences. I guess that sometimes there's some comfort in that......
The vast majority of such extreme weather occurs in America, not in the rest of the continent. In fact, all three of the pictures shown, including every other single one under "Storms" at the photographer's web site were taken in America. Why the author is saying North America makes absolutely no sense considering those obvious facts.
Black and White makes very effective images of dynamic conditions like these. Color seems to reduce contrast in certain ways - not saying there can't be a very dynamic color image, but when the term 'stark' applies as in the stark rawness of power these storms display, black and white strips away the fluff and delivers the goods. Most violent weather as seen here tends toward black and white (or shades of grey), due to the inherent color of clouds etc. Rare is the cloud with color, except at sunrise and sunset where the color isn't a property of the cloud anyway.
Pretty dynamic photos, I love the depth B&W give them.
Good work, but Jim Reed remains the king of storm chasers IMO.
basically black-and-white photos are those that were not composed well.
it's a positive comment if the photographer could show us better ones next time or you can simply search image "Oklahoma storm."
or video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwxKFHZigRw
it may be a great idea to have black-and-white rainbows.
"basically black-and-white photos are those that were not composed well."
That makes no sense.
@ YaBLAHkie. I've been shooting black and white since Navy Photo-school in '83. I never knew in all my 30 years of shooting that Black and White was an inferior format.
All kidding aside. I happened to check out your stats, and you have over 2000 postings and only 2 likes. You are one messed up puppy.
I got you flagged. Got get some help, son.
Which planet are you from?
So, are you saying that Ansel Adams was a crap photographer? Or is the comment a case of negligent discharge of mouth?
I'd like to concentrate on the issue instead of specific individuals, Ansel Adams or whoever are free to do what they like (there could be good explanation for that).
some people believe too much in "was vernünftig ist , das ist wirklich existence" that they might forget they got a brain, too.
Oh! Yabokkie san, you haven't posted anything to your galleries. I wonder why? Come on, show us how it is done!
One of the reasons to shoot in B&W is to focus picture viewers on the light...rather than the colors, because some scenes have an interesting light or shades of grey but less interesting colors. In this case, shooting in B&W allows to get rid of these unwanted colors and make the light or shades of grey more visible. If you do not understand that, maybe you are not a good observer of the light ? A prerequisite to be a good photographer...
> to focus picture viewers on the light...rather than the colors
so you agree what I said people escape to B&W because there are some problems, think it is a convenient hideout.
> maybe you are not a good observer of the light ? A prerequisite to be a good photographer...
we don't have to escape to personal assault when failed to make a point, do we?

little amount of oil decrease after 1000 km in Honda city IDSI 2005 cng never installed totally driving on petrol + high octaneoil use ZIC A from Zic Company service centre not a single leakageis that normal ? no problem or need to check from Honda service centrepicture of oil level is attached needs experts recommendation. @xulfiqar @capsat @accord7362
That's normal. With new oil filter, the quantity of oil required in idsi is 3.7 liters.
is it confirmed that you poured the exactly same amount as it was needed?
if this level is just after 1K, then it means something wrong. do you drive at high rpms?
yes conformed 3.7 with new oil filter & air filter 7 Months ago this car usage is very less in 7 months only 1000 km no never on high rpms
Did u chk the oil in cold engine??? Subah before the engine was to start for the first time of the day???
i use shell helix only and such small decrease is managable nothing to be alarmed about @syncview @margallar @rustam54 though i have no clue about Honda cars
7 months? The interval of oil change in city idsi with 5w30 is 5000kms or 6 months. It is suggested to change the oil asap. Even if your car has traveled only 1000kms in 6 months. And remember to pour 3.7 liters with new oil filter.
I hv posted this time n again.....idsi has tendancy to reduce oil....i used zix xq and oil reductions was quiet much....thn i switched to caltex fully synthetic.....at 10 000kms(oil change) it reduces a bit more thn u showed
yes i check in cold engine
do i understand correct that some Honda IDSI vehicle with 4 wheels and sedan shell have a manufacturing defect of reducing oil
@hash4u @babarhyd @capsati have no problem to changing oil but question is that is oil has any expiry of time when its in engine like you said 5000kms or 6 months.
U dont hv to top it off if u use the right oil for it . negligible drop.annoying for new users maybe.
Nop. Unlike TOYta
bro whats your recommendation still i will use ZIC A 10W40 or any other ? note:currently im using ZIC A 10W40
Keep using Zic A. Its within specs, and the cost of a 5w-30 isn't worth it on a car that does 1k km in 7 months.
Follow what zainmehdi said. 10W40 is within specs.
Best choice with approvals is liqui moly oil
I am not sure if you have noticed this before (or anyone else for that matter), the City IDSi or even the Steermatic and IVTEC when filled with 3.7L exact...... donot show oil Level upto the top mark on dip stick.
Which is Perfectly Normal.
Why??? Becaue the the two marks on the dip stick show max and min level, and your oil level should be in between.
Just as low oil can have catastropihc results to an engine, similarly a higher oil level (than max specified on dipstick) can lead to other problems such as oil aeration, thus resulting in foaming by coming in contact with crack shaft. This will lead to struggle by the oil pump to pressurize the oil supply line and also cooling ability of oil will reduce, May lead to an overheated engine.
Anyways thats the story of not filling above max. On safe side, 3.7L as specified by manufacturer fills it near to the point you have marked on your dip stick.
Conculsion....Its normal
About the change interval, i believe its 5000KM or 6 months (which ever comes first) as highlighted by @babarhyd
Reporting on duty....Sir!!!!! (only when its a City 03+)
By the way, as per City Fan Club, I would also suggests the OP to use Caltex Havoline 10w40
Well thats the first time I am hearing this. Uncle @capsat , you just need an excuse to blame Honda, dont you
Thanks to all make my mind clear i was so depressed @babarhyd @rustam54 @zainmahdi @capsat @hash4u
Thanks for tag buddy,All the guru's already described & explained in very detailed manner :* to all Worry makawaa, balkay iss koo kuch bagaoooo, run her on high RPM and then check any changesits good that oil is still under the max mark

Dont throw away the dust covers!
So something I truly hate to see when visiting computer rooms is fibre cables hanging in the breeze with no dust covers, their precious glass connectors exposed to the world. Even worse are fibre patch panels and HBAs without dust covers. . When new equipment...

Where am I, really, at this time in my life?
I'm learning that we can label ourselves according to the things that we do (like what I'm trying to do in this post) When it comes to goal-setting, having these labels of what we do can help, but who we are is much wider and deeper. In other words, we are more than the sum of our daily tasks and responsibilities. The things we do are certainly part of who we are but they do not define us. Our core, our center of who we are is just that--the source from which everything else springs.
Having said that, I identify first as a follower of Jesus and he is my center. He is that core. I live by grace according to the word of God, by his Spirit, in Christ. Ana Patricia the Disciple is not simply the more spiritual side of myself but it is the foundation of the other "roles" I fulfill. Being in Christ does not mean faith and spirituality is relegated to another category in my life; rather, Jesus is my starting point and my all in all.
All that I am and thus all that I do--how I live--is a response to what God has first done for me through Christ. It is a glorious thing that words fail to fully capture. Suffice it to say that the following roles or "hats" I wear during this season arise from God's purpose.
2. Ana Patricia, the Wife
I'm still my parents' daughter, my brother's sister, and what have you. But because of marriage, in the eyes of God I am one with my husband. Our marriage is my primary earthly relationship. I am my husband's ezer kenegdo--a helper corresponding to him. I am his biggest fan. As his wife, it is my privilege to love and serve him in a myriad of ways.
I am imperfect as he is but our covenant is a place of love, growth, and acceptance beyond mere tolerance. Being a wife sanctifies both ways--my husband and I are conduits to each other's sanctification. Not that we're the ones sanctifying each other, but rather, we become vehicles of God's sanctifying work so that Christ is produced in us. (On this note, I'm grateful for Ruth Chou Simons' hashtag #marriageissanctifying for reminding me of this). I love this hat.
3. Mrs. Victa, the Domestic Manager
A few months down the road of matrimonial bliss, I've come to embrace the mess. My uptight, keep-the-apartment-immaculate mentality met with Carlo's more relaxed attitude towards tidiness. A clear and clutter-free space equals a clutter-free mind for me.
But you know what? The (dirty) clothes on the floor, the (clean) clothes hanging out on the couch for a few days before being kept, the piles of books, paper of all sizes, and the unwashed dishes--these are signs of life. I cook, I clean, I manage the living space but what makes this beautiful is that I'm doing it with my husband. Our imperfect (there's that word again!) little apartment is alive and I don't pull my hair out as I try to keep it together. This hat has been teaching me a lot about grace and freedom.
4. Pat, the Student
I'm a student in seminary and I'm also a student of many things. Currently master of none because of my voracious desire to learn anything that piques my interest. I am a learner and I see this as an advantage for life. This hat will soon be removed or at least temporarily set aside. But this is a sacred season where I get to cultivate spiritual disciplines for life.
These roles will shift but looking at this list drives me towards gratitude. My life is rich, it is full, it is never boring no matter how mundane things get. Suddenly, my questions about specific calling (e.g., am I called to be a missionary? a teacher? am I called to be [insert job title here]?) seem insignificant in light of the larger calling I have in God: to be reconciled to God and be like Jesus.
Last year, I had several lonely episodes from an identity crisis. I was afraid that I didn't know where I was going. My husband is clearly "husband/writer/preacher/drummer/teacher" but what about me? I feared not doing what God maybe wanted me to become but I was just slow in figuring it out. To my chagrin, he showed me that as I fulfill my roles in this season, he is equipping me with skills and developing my character. This is so that I'm propelled to what stage he has next, and not so that I can fight my way to my ideal career and living situation. The story of Joseph in Genesis comes to mind.
No matter what hat I wear or what season I'm currently in, it's not like the present is limbo while I wait for the real thing. This is it. I no longer have to struggle about what it is God wants me to do specifically--it's simply to be and to do where I am, right now, and not be afraid that I'm missing out on what he really means for me.
He's the one who wrote my story. Yes, past tense because he already established the good works that I may walk in them (Ephesians 2:10). In Christ, I already know what my life's ending is like. As long as I live, there will always be tension, denouement, and perhaps many high points. But while the climax is in his hands, I can still enjoy the ride chapter by chapter.
Like I said, the student and blogger roles may shift, and Lord willing one day, "mother" will be added. An impending role or label is that of "expat." But right now I am genuinely contented and grateful being disciple, wife, student, and heck, even blogger.
I am Patricia Victa, beloved of God, and that is enough for me. You, dear reader, are also beloved of God. In Ephesians 2:10, we are also told that we are God's workmanship. Other translations render it "masterpiece." Wherever you are right now and no matter how many hats you're struggling to wear, I pray that you "may have the strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." (Eph. 3:18-19)
