I am getting ready to sell it on Ebay, but I have no idea what a reasonable asking price would be. so there is no crusty residue, any ink, or ink remains. I learned online how to clean these kinds of pens, and I have done that. I bought it to do a small art project, and then put it away and haven't touched it since. I moved recently, and I rediscovered my old Koh-i-noor Artpen that had been resting comfortably in my desk drawer for many years. I see that this is a very old post, but I'll start here and give this a shot. Happy sketchin', Jim Edited Octoby Autopoint What'dya think? Is this something that might intrigue sketchers? If there's a positive response to this vision, I may try to get someone to exercise a prototype, and/or to get one of the "pen repair persons" to make a few of these on speculation. (Note that due to the current price of gold and the relative scarcity of spare gold nibs, the total price for a properly functioning Estie CA101 with an appropriate gold nib and reworked feed (if necessary to support, say india ink) will still be about the same as an Artpen, but the combination instrument will be able to be maintained, repaired, replaced and further tuned.) That's not a problem with renew point feeds, since they can be readily adapted to such needs, and can be part of a set of modified renew point units set up to take on every different type of task. Further, the nib and feed have to work together well for the pen to meet expectations - so I'd envision an artist perhaps having a set of gold nibbed renew point units with different feeds, to properly feed india ink versus drawing ink versus fountain pen ink. Although I've modified my share of ink feeds, I'm just not a "nib meister". ![]() I would certainly produce and sell this item to cartoonists and sketch artists, but the real key is the gold nib and it's interaction with the Esterbrook feed. In summary, the result of using a modified Esterbrook CA101 should be (1)a lightweight pen, (2)capable of being carried in the pocket, (3)easily taken apart for cleaning using threaded connections, (3)that is cost-effective, in fact cheaply obtained, and (4)which readily and rapidly accepts additional/different ink (almost sounds like a patent application, doesn't it?). The pocket clip on these models tends to be harder on your shirt fabric than earlier Esterbrooks, so that also makes them less popular. So virtually no one wants the cartridge filling models. And CA101's are relatively cheap because the exact same Esterbrook pen was also produced with a built-in aerometric filling unit. I simply couldn't get over how "functionally equal" the Esterbrook CA101 is to the Artpen. I've sold 3 Koh-i-noor Artpens in the past year or so (the FPN Artpen thread includes a picture of one of them) so I'm eminently familiar with their construction and cleaning, but not how they're actually used. This is virtually identical to an Artpen. So the CA101 comes apart easily, via threads, into six parts: cap, barrel, cartridge, section, cartridge nipple, and gold nibbed renew point unit. And the center of the cartridge nipple is large diameter, to properly support inks which are less fluid than ordinary fountain pen inks. Unknown to some, the CA101 cartridge nipple can also be removed from the section, out the nib end. (And Sheaffer cartridges are still commonly available.) That allows me to thoroughly clean the cart's after each use, to rapidly change inks, and to reuse the cart's for an extended period of time. Also, I reuse the cartridges by cleaning and refilling them with a plastic veterinary syringe. The secret with Sheaffer cartridges is to pre-puncture them before insertion, since the Esterbrook cartridge nipple is pretty wide and deep. But I have some black Staedtler drawing ink which I'll be trying shortly. I use Sheaffer cartridges, and at the moment Sheaffer ink. The CA101 Estie barrel also unscrews at the barrel/section joint, similar to an Artpen, to access the area for the cartridge. Vintage gold nibs are flexible, from semi-flexible to "wet noodle", and available in your choice of nib widths/lengths, so long as it's a #2 or thereabouts. Thus the nib and feed come out just as easily as the Artpen, for cleaning. Convert the renew point unit to a gold nibbed unit (there's a thread elsewhere on FPN, to which I contributed, explaining how to do this, and I have already made 3 or 4 gold nibbed renew point units which I'm using). ![]() (Crescendo of trumpets here) Just use an Esterbrook CA101 cartridge filling fountain pen. It developed because of some absolutely inexpensive Esterbrook pens I purchased at the DC Pen Show a few weeks ago, and my conversations at the pen show with a guy seeking a Koh-i-noor Artpen for his son.

Escape from Pretoria (2020) Trailer Two white South Africans, imprisoned for working on behalf of the ANC, are determined to escape from Pretoria’s notorious white man’s ‘Robben Island’ Prison. Mark Leonard Winter (as Leonard Fontaine) rounds off the lead trio, remarkably showcasing his desperation to escape.

For a good portion of the first two acts, the makers focus solely on the aspect of trial & error key-making.

Source 2 is a graphic engine that Valve has been working on for several years. However, the core of the game and the Source engine stayed unchanged, even after Valve launched an improved Source 2 engine in 2015. Since its initial release, CS:GO has had numerous updates, each of which has made the game slightly better than the previous edition. People worldwide, particularly CS aficionados, adored the game, and it became the most infamous FPS game in CS history. The most significant shift occurred when Valve launched Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in 2012. ![]() Following that, CS has earned quite a name for itself with several titles over the years. Valve completely rebuilt the game with a new engine while retaining the game’s core elements. When CS source arrived, it transformed Counter-Strike. Since then, the game has received considerable upgrades and engine modifications. Valve later acquired the mod and released Counter-Strike as a full-fledged FPS game in 2000. With fresh leaks and rumors circulating on the internet, the wait for Source 2 may end.Ĭounter-Strike started as a mod for Half-Life. Source 2 is a much-anticipated upgrade for all Counter-Strike fans. A few leaks have recently surfaced on the internet, indicating that the Source 2 port for CS:GO is not long away. Valve, on the other hand, may be planning to bring those days back to us. Author: WMMN Category: Articles, Date: 16th November, 2022 Do you recall Counter-Strike 1.6, Condition Zero, or Source?

I Am Fish is a game that puts players in the fins of a fish with a simple goal: to escape a fish tank and make it back to the ocean. With simple controls and an intuitive gameplay loop, I Am Fish is the perfect game for anyone looking for a lighthearted yet challenging puzzle game. The game's cartoonish visuals and quirky gameplay are sure to draw in players of all ages. Players control one of four fish, each with unique abilities, as they embark on a journey of a lifetime. The game follows the journey of four aquatic friends, who are separated from their home and must make their way back by navigating through various obstacles, both natural and man-made. I Am Fish is a physics-based puzzle game developed by Bossa Studios, the team behind some of the most outrageous games out there. I found this quite tricky to get the hang of and I would regularly miss where I was trying to land. The Flying Fish is kind of like the Pufferfish, except when you leap out of the water you can go much further. It is pretty clever stuff and probably my favorite aspect of the game. A great example of this is when you are in the sink and the water is very shallow, you jump up, bite the tap and the water starts to fill the sink and you can then move on. The Piranha has the most puzzle based of all the gameplay in my opinion as he can use his strong jaws to break stuff. The Pufferfish can puff up and when he is puffed up, he can bounce around out of water, but the trick is jumping out of water, puffing up, and then landing in more water. Goldfish is the most basic, he is in a fishbowl/jar thing and he can roll around the world to get to where he needs to, I found this part of the game to have a bit of Super Monkey Ball about it. The selection of fish in I Am Fish is awesome. This is a physics-based kind of game and getting to grip with this is the key to moving your fish from area to area, but each fish has their own set of abilities. There is a learning curve here and I could easily see that leading to a bit of frustration for some children. I will say that the controls of the game do take a bit of getting used to and that is why I do not think that I Am Fish is a game that is ideal for really young kids. ![]() I didn’t have the language for it, but I felt in my soul that something wasn’t right. Gottmik: When I was younger, I didn’t even know trans was a thing. Drag saved my life because I gained confidence, it helped me find my voice and like myself and be content as long as I love what I’m doing.

I eventually realized I don’t need a mask for people to think I am a boy: I am a boy. It was literally a mask for me to put on and be who I wanted to be. That’s how I discovered my trademark clown-white face.

Meanwhile, Symone delivers an “unapologetically Black” blend of sass and class to “Drag Race,” matching her L.A. Gottmik (who prefers she/her pronouns when in drag) is not only the series’ first-ever transmasculine contestant but her punk-rock “gorge” looks and wicked humor have also made her a front-runner to snatch the crown. Meet Symone and Gottmik, two queens with wildly different aesthetics and a similar trailblazing spirit from Season 13, currently running Fridays on VH1.
