The Littlest Christmas Tree Red Skelton

Waterman Ave Maria Purisima, Weapon of Peace


If anyone know the weird data and the company's advertising claims, the reason is that Lloyd George, British Prime Minister, signed the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 with a Waterman fountain pen.

Nice ad, and more your message if it really were true that the pen and replace the word to other instruments in achieving peace. Although I am not mistaken and also with pens and words have been promoted wars and violence. The problem therefore lies in the hand holding the instrument. What a pity!

What type during the holidays? What pen

In previous post talked about the pen that I like to take when you travel. The problem is that these situations can be thought that there is no time to write. The constant hustle, the comings and goings, visits, fun, changing spaces, seems to become an insurmountable barrier between reality and writing.

However, I like to take a pen and writing libretilla no hurry to go no obligations a little diary of what I saw and what I think about what contemplando. A menudo me sucede que capto mejor los monumentos, lugares o situaciones que vivo cuando horas o días después me siento ante la moleskine e intento describir y reflejar las sensaciones. Por ese motivo la escritura se convierte en una herramienta indispensable del viajero, supongo.

La escritura se convierte en pausa necesaria que permite valorar el propio viaje, en cauce de la reflexión y, por tanto, en vehículo que permite un mayor aprovechamiento de la experiencia vacacional. Igual que dejamos constancia de un momento con una fotografía, podemos dejar constancia mediante la escritura con palabras, mucho más versátiles al permitirnos describir algo con sus antecedentes, consecuentes y nuestras impresiones sobre that instant. Writing can. Someone said the already hackneyed phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words", but it is also true that a thousand words or a hundred or a few dozen can be much more satisfactory in certain situations that an individual image that ends up losing his connection to the experience in the intricacies of memory.

Swollen Blood Blister Throat

took me away?


With the coming of summer appear also travel and doubt about the pen you should join us. In my case, I opted for the AL Kaweco Sport for the following reasons:
  • has a very lightweight and, although it may seem silly, there are times when it shows up more than a gram.
  • is very tiny, which is a problem to write at length, but an advantage when moving from here to there question.
  • Being made of aluminum, is very strong and holds up well the bumps and scratches.
  • Use standard load cartridges, avoiding the hassle of having to carry the ink and gives the confidence to find replacement ink in almost any place you travel.
  • The nib is mounting F with really fine line, a fact which makes this ideal Kaweco in a pen to write on small maps or note pads or napkins.
  • is also a fairly inexpensive pen (about 30 €), so that if lost or I'll slip up, suffering and economic loss is not too large, although the sentimental, of course.
Anyway, to travel, my wife, my daughters, my Moleskine and my Kaweco. And then I removed it bailao.

At What Temperature Does Copper Pipes Freeze

The book as a complement to the pen


The option for the pen is a writing option, as I understand it. And when one sets out to write "I do not mean to creative writing, but with this endorsement of what you see, what you think, what you remember, the small pocket book is indispensable. Not always find a role, and if you can find lost runs between the recesses of our pockets. The book, however, is always there, ready to receive our pen strokes scoring a phone, a phrase, a quotation, a scribble or a story. Everything is welcome.

There are people that will eventually make their books on the subject of art, wonder outputs from the hands of those who have something to say and the skills necessary to do so. That's what we found in the moleskine of John Ray, an artist Network sharing in their notes in notebooks that I think are wonderful. I leave the links to two of them:
More examples of wonderful books can be found on You Tube in Moleskineart or certain international exhibitions, such as that of London or the Hong Kong . As you can see, the whole world about the book in general and, specifically, the brand Moleskine in particular.

But the use of the book requires the use of a special pen. The line of it should be fine, very fine, so the letter is not larger and the ink does not protrude through the thin paper. I use to write in my Moleskines a Pelikan 215, a Kaweco Sport or Lamy Studio, all with fine nib. With other nibs I've tried (F Waterman and Faber Castell eMotion or Pelikan M) the result is not entirely satisfactory.

Dermatomyositis German Shepherd

The use of the stylus is contagious

For over two years I have been using the pen daily. Before I had been won by the "dark side" and my writing was based on inexpensive roller, preferably Pilot, but I do not remember exactly why, one day I cleaned and loaded one of my old pens and I realized that the pleasure obtained using them can not be matched by any other instrument.



In these two years of my new life as a user of the pen I have realized that their use is extremely contagious. Friends, coworkers see you write with pen and immediately released to rummage through your drawers for airing his own. I know it's an easy joke, but I can not help thinking that you take the pen is how to "come out": you dare and others in similar circumstances to realize is as easy as deciding to take the plunge. We should coin, therefore, pen lovers a new phrase that we identify, something like "out of the box."

- Hey, how about you when you came out of the drawer?

- Uff.

- You had a hard time deciding? How did you get your decision? Why did you?

The fact is that in this my new stage of engagement with the pen I feel I have caught the virus to many people. Almost without realizing it, the room of my high school teachers is filled with pens and it is not uncommon to see a hand there wielding a Montegrappa, one that responds to the challenge with Edson and hands a number of spectators attending the show with his Parker 21, his or Pelikan Waterman. Even we have a day with a Montblanc 100 Years, of course, served as arbitrator of the dispute, given their rigorous black.



But the contagion has also reached some of the students that proudly displays the communion pen drawer also recovered as distinctive hallmark front of the huge and overwhelming majority of pens and rollers.



No doubt we will lose the battle, but the fight is presented. Lest anyone think that those addicted to the pen will surrender without resistance. We were able to get out of our box and we return to it without a battle.

Western And Southern Life Problems

women you really like these designs? Whither

No I know very well why the manufacturers of pens when they decide to launch a pen aimed at women think they have more host if you have a striking design.



I must admit that the line Waterman Audace (second image) I find attractive, whether they are male or female. Furthermore, my experience with women who use pen around me do not coincide precisely with the idea of \u200b\u200bcoloring: one normally uses a 150 Pelikan black and the other alternates Monte Rosa and a beautiful Montegrappa (you will see that wild nature ) Full silver.

understand that the "female role models" are smaller, but the colors I do not understand at all, and more in these times of equality between the sexes (I know I'm a bit naive).

Macular Degeneration Treatment Rush Limbaugh

Rotring walk? Lamy Pens

When we review the catalogs of certain brands can not help thinking what is the objective of the manufacturer, which is intended by the manufacturer with their products, what people want to go. It could even go a step further and ask why a brand commitment to "the aesthetics of ugliness", as suggested by Core and Skynn models of the German manufacturer.




That bet seems
Rotring be that of a few years ago, although the brand you prefer to speak of modernism, ergonomics, design, youth and other trifles. Other brands such as Lamy or Tombow also opted at the time by the contemporary and the classical left in the design of their pieces without so at the ends of Rotring. The truth is that the German manufacturer does not seem too interested in the pen market "conventional" as evidenced by the history of the brand, which seems to have increased since he joined the Sanford large business group, which also owns brands like Papermate, Parker and Waterman, covering different profiles of potential buyers.



Some historical references.



Wilhelm Riepe In 1928 he founded a company in Hamburg with the intention of engaging in the manufacture of technical writing instruments, mainly. The first parts made by the company offered a nib that departed from the conventional, I mean the classic model or Tintenkuli Inkograph, a piece that, apart from the tiny tube through which the ink flowing, showed appearances consistent with what other manufacturers launched on the market including, of course, the manufacture of celluloid pearl, and loading systems handle the first models and then plunger.





The emblem of the company founded by Riepe was a red ring - Ring Rot in German-in the ring of the piece and by that name was soon known brand, which is why the company changed its name-Handels-GmbH Tintenkuli of Rotring by around 1950.



As already mentioned, the main contributions of the German mark have been linked to technical writing: first rollerball, the Rapidograph in 1953, pencil, etc.. However, this particular direction did not stop the brand launched simultaneously with
its famous pieces of writing
Tintenkuli conventional line with the more traditional German pens,
Predominantly black, plastic materials and the classic cargo system
plunger or piston.





Some current models.


Initial






Newton









Esprit

Freeway





Core





Skynn





And the future?



I get the impression that since the acquisition in 1998 Sanford Rotring by the end of the German brand is very limited. In 2005, Sanford decided to stop exporting their products to the United States, reducing their distribution Europe. For the moment, our stationery Rotring pens are not lacking, although the parts manufactured today, personally, I do not be too attractive either by design or by the quality of materials, except for Initial model. The potential user of Rotring pens is today a young audience that begins in the use of writing with pen and looking for a sturdy piece of good writing and affordability.

Is Russianbares.com Illegal



Brief History Brand .-

Josef Lamy worked in 1930 for the Parker brand in Germany. That year he left U.S. manufacturer and purchased a German brand low hours, Orthos. For some time, Lamy was making a fountain inspired by the Parker Duofold under the name of Orthos. Will and after the Second World War when Lamy, established in the city of Heidelberg, begin to manufacture its own low-end models and using the plastic as building material, but it will under the brand Artus. It is from the early 50's when the name appears as such Lamy pens. The models of these years (27, Ratio 46, People), but original pieces are inspired by the success of the market at that time, remembering por ejemplo, la 27 a la Parker 51.



Será a mediados de los 60 con la aparición de la Lamy 2000 cuando el fabricante de Heidelberg encontrará su verdadero estilo en diseño: ergonomía, construcción con nuevos materiales (fibra de vidrio, caucho, paladio), diseño funcional y minimalista directamente inspirado por la Escuela alemana de la Bauhaus y, por supuesto, apuesta por la escritura fluida y suave; todo ello en piezas que se venden a un precio asequible y, por tanto, destinadas al gran público, especialmente al usuario joven y sin prejuicios.

Teniendo en cuenta lo dicho ya, creo que en la corta historia de Lamy como fabricante of pens can be made very clear two-stage marked by the appearance of the Lamy 2000 in 1966.
  • first period (1930-1966) .- This is a trial period, you might say. The German manufacturer is engaged over the years under different names to produce models in line with those already endorsed by the market brands such as Pelikan, Montblanc and Parker, but betting from 1945 for the production of parts with a great relationship money.

  • Second time (since 1966) .- With the design of Gerd A. Muller Model 2000 in line with what was the Bauhaus, it seems that Lamy found its distinguishing mark. Since then, parts have followed the minimalist and functional that characterizes today and occasionally launching models that have increasingly become new classics of its different segments: the very model Lamy 2000 or Safari appeared in 1980 and aimed at young buyers.
Why I like Lamy pens?

Those who have gone through this blog occasionally and know the answer to the question above: the Lamy pens are humble, but high quality, and that is precisely the type of pen you are looking for the author of these pages. In general, these pieces of writing is smooth and fluid as few brands can claim the feather design provides a great personality, are "different", if I may that claim. In addition, most manufacturer's models allow the use of cartridges or converter, which is not necessary to give the ink and entertainment. Are robust, manageable, have weight. Materials, although cheaper in some cases (Safari and its derivatives), give no impression of being of poor quality, as happens with other parts under the most renowned manufacturers. You might think it silly, but for me the Lamy are "German" in the broadest and most topical of the word.

classical models .-
  • Lamy 27 (1951-52).

  • Lamy 2000 (designed by Gerd A. Müller in 1966).


classic New
  • .- Lamy Safari and its derivatives (All Star, Vista, Black, etc.) (designed by Wolfgang Fabian in 1980).


  • Lamy Accent (1998).
  • Lamy Studio (designed by Hannes Wettstein I think in 2006).

Serve this as a humble tribute to a brand, but ours. The last of ours. If anyone had or knew any of the models, will welcome your feedback, so that together we build a "catalog said" of Inoxcrom today. Tiny

  • Atlantic .- I can not say exactly when appearance of this series, although I must walk close to the Zeppelin (I got one at the end of the 90). Construction materials are typical of the manufacturer, ie, brushed stainless steel and, in some versions, painted in colors like green, orange, red or gray stone. The nib is stainless steel and thick iridium point M. Charge per cartridge, but admits standard converter. Its price ranges between 14 and 17 €.

They should also outline the plastic parts manufactured according to design of Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, very appropriate for children who start writing their small size, hardness y. admittedly, low price.

How Much Do Orthopedic Surgeons Get Paid

Is Inoxcrom dying?





Looking for other things by the Red I have stumbled upon the news that the last English manufacturer of pens began last May, a force adjustment employment with the intention of reducing staff by 28%. Mala thing for employees first, of course, but also for those who love writing, because bad news always issues a manufacturer of pens. The issue seems to have been further complicated because in other news I read on the suspicion that the company put on sale land its factory in Barcelona. In addition, the group's Web not seem to be accessible beyond the home page.



is possible that many of those who pass by here do not be a special appreciation for the English brand, but I must admit that I feel I have an affinity for it. Also, I think his pieces remain an excellent value for money and write daily if left untreated, stainless steel nib is smooth Inoxcrom comparison, with a stroke weight perfect for me in size M and a ink flow that makes you remember any case of the manufacturer and his family. Feathers are humble, strong and thoughtful design. May be made in the catalog under the brand some models in the middle-high and high, since in that range can only be found or the Sirocco series dedicated to Audrey Hepburn.



Anyway, Inoxcrom goes through some problems and I, I get selfish, I have not found the opportunity me with the Wall Street Titanium and Sirocco.

The thickness of the nib





There are many issues that make me frantic scene inside the pen, but if I had to mention one that lately is making me more nervous would no doubt the lack of agreement on the thickness of the nib. If you have pens of different brands you will find that each manufacturer uses stroke weights that has little to do with those of others. Moreover, the same brand, depending on the model or the date of manufacture of the part mounted jibs with different thicknesses. I put examples I am using pen stroke order now finer coarser

    Popular
  • jib Lamy F (years 60).
  • Nib Visconti F. Gulliver

  • Pelikan 215 with nib F.
  • jib F. Lamy Studio Saga Inoxcrom
  • jib M.
  • jib F. Waterman Charleston Pelikan Piccadilly Circus
  • jib M. Faber-Castell
  • eMotion jib F.
Not one of these eight pens have the same stroke weight, although most claim to be F. How hard would be for manufacturers to reach an agreement in thickness to provide us a little life to the users? The fact of the diversity of sizes, it is still a little discomfort in the event that we acquire our pens in stores that allow us to test the script before you buy, but if you wish to buy a piece at auction or in one of the very good shops that sell over the Internet we will be forced to take risks and hope that our expectations are met.

What Does Octinoxate Do



Last night I had a dream

(Martin Luther King)



Yes, last night while he slept, I dreamed for the first time with a pen. Do not think that was a model of these impressive, expensive and very luxurious, this is a humble piece, but the leaking of humility at the top. Last night I dreamed the Tombow Lucca.





this dream Does it mean that I approach my usual camel to acquire the piece in question? This is a pen that I have not had the pleasure of meeting "natural." I have seen only briefly in the Yearbook Pens this year and the role does not seem the type of pen lifts my passions. No But lately I think it changes the taste, so that contemporary design is slowly gaining a place in my little heart, if not avant-garde excesses reach high levels of exaggeration.



Anyway, as I know almost nothing of the outside Lucca Tombow material that is built (aluminum) and that its nib is stainless steel, does anyone know enlighten me? Understand that I need information about this pen, independently, decided to sneak into my bed in my dreams in my life. Why? Is there an esoteric reason can not understand?

dream of a pen Waterman brand Is feminist? Wishlist

virtual collection of pens ad I realize that advertising Waterman has always used a lot more to advertising as an independent woman. I leave a few ads as evidence.







Other brands, such as Parker, for example, men prefer to include or male hands in their ads, and when have women do, in some way subordinate to men which is the true repository of the pen and final recipient of the piece. I leave also some ads that I can confirm this idea.







Do we lead these ads to ensure that Waterman is a trademark feminist? It would be very risky for me to release this statement, especially if we consider that an icon of feminism as Colette was decanted in its day for a Parker, Mandarin Yellow. Although you might think - why not - it was yours a vindictive act: instead of doing what you would expect from a woman, that is, using a model of Waterman, wanted to bring into the world of masculinity.



Of course, these ideas should not make us think that Parker has ignored the female market, but on the contrary, the American brand has been launched throughout its history many models aimed at women: Lady Duofold or Slimfold UK, for example. But in the advertising of the company it strikes me that the female has less weight compared to the images of women independent and autonomous from Waterman, flying their shameless pens to record their majority







Continuing the comparison between Parker and Waterman, if you look at the catalog of both brands today, we find that the trend continues. While Waterman offers clearly female models (Audace, Ici et La), Parker does not have any clearly aimed at women. Of course, in reality, Waterman and Parker both belong to the same group as the subject, commercially speaking, there seems to be more important.
