| | Insulin Pens | | 2008-06-10 05:00:00 | | An insulin pen is an insulin injection system for the treatment of diabetes. A pen is comprised of disposable needles, a vial of insulin, and a "pen."A number of companies make insulin pens including Novo Nordisk, Aventis and Eli Lilly. These companies produce pens for most of their insulins, including novolog, humalog (also known as insulin lispro), levemir and lantus.There are two pen systems: replaceable cartridge and prefilled. A replaceable cartridge pen reuses the pen portion. When the insulin is empty, the vial is replaced by inserting a new one. A prefilled pen is entirely disposable. When the insulin is gone, the entire unit is discarded.UseOne significant advantage of pens is their ease of use. To use a pen: Screw on a new needle If necessary, prime the pen to remove any air from the needle Turn the knob on the end of the pen (or "dial") to the number of units needed Insert the needle into the skin Press the button on the end of the pen to deliver | | By: Biosolution | | |

| | Penguins taunt fans after win: Pens have no class | | 2008-05-16 10:30:23 | | Despite that fact that some fans can get vulgar and downright ignorant sometimes when they are cheering their team on at the games, it is ok for them to heckle opposing players and try to get in their head. As long as they limit the amount of beer they have.

| | Ballpark Pens | | 2008-05-05 14:39:00 | | With most old stadiums either being redone or knocked down to make a place for a brand spanking new multi-million dollar stadium, these Ballpark pens are a great way to get your hands on a small bit of history. Barrels and disc at top are made from wooden seats from historic stadiums. Pens ship with capless rollerball refill but can also use Parker style ballpoints. The pens are laser engraved with the name of the ballpark and years in existence. Top, clip and nose all rhodium plated. No two pens are exactly the same due to age, type of wood and the direction of the wood grain. Prices vary depending on stadium due to collector's prices for seats. Right now you have six different stadiums to choose from and the prices depend on which one you choose, with the most expensive being $250 for Fenway Park. A very cool way to have a small piece of the team you love with you forever.ballpark pensvia luxist

| | Unique Fountain Pens | | 2008-04-04 06:54:00 | | Unique fountain pens aren't that easy to find – or to afford. Come to think of it, there are two options to get an absolutely like-no-other pen: either seek for some Mont Blanc Limited Edition with diamonds, produced in quantity of 3 items ever and never to be found in places other than high-rolling auctions like Sotheby's, or.. order the one for yourself. Surprisingly, the choice is nearly endless, and, unlike Mont Blanc works of art (I can't really refer to their diamond-encrusted models as to simply 'pens') costing hundreds thousands dollars, you can order a completely customized and unique fountain pen for under $200. And for that price you're going to have a whole lot of aspects to control and choose to your liking. An experienced, skilled wood turner can create a wood fountain pen exactly to your highest expectations. You choose the origin of exotic woods – be it India or Africa. Unique fountain pens made of wood, antler, rattlesnake skin and lots of other materials are gua | | By: Fountain Pens Site | | |
| | Beauty of Wood Fountain Pens | | 2008-04-01 19:18:00 | | Dedicated pen collectors, passionate amateur lovers and all other "in-the-know" can easily draw a solid distinguishing line between professionally manufactured, mass-produces, mechanically engraved and encrusted writing instruments, and hand-crafted wood fountain pens. The latter items are pure gems in the eyes of connoisseurs treasuring the delicate uniqueness of each of the crafted pens. When you buy a pen from a world-renowned manufacturer like Sheaffer or Waterman, you can't really expect to get a unique piece of art. With wood fountain pens crafted by passionate amateurs it is a whole lot different story. You can communicate directly with the craftsman who produces wood fountain pens per order. You can order the material, the type of wood, the nib, discuss patterns of texture and shape, choose the filling mechanism (piston of converter), participate in designing the gift box, etc. That is, your input is significant at every stage of crafting the wood fountain pen.

| | History Behind Sheaffer Pens | | 2008-03-14 07:38:00 | | Sheaffer pens were one of the "Big Four" American pen manufacturers of the classic era, and is probably the only one that today survives close to its original configuration. Although Sheaffer's ownership changed (it is currently owned by French based Bic Pen Company), they continue to design and manufacture the majority of their pens. It should be noted though that why Sheaffer is the original spelling, many people write it as 'Shaeffer' or even 'Schaeffer'. The Sheaffer story begins in 1907, when Sheaffer began work on his own unique fountain pen design. The invention of the lever filling fountain pen in Fort Madison (Iowa) gave a kick-start to a newly born penmaker. The fountain pens of the day were cumbersome and messy to change refill inks, requiring an eyedropper and a steady hand. Sheaffer's disliking of the inconvenience made him seek a refilling method that would be as simple and clean as possible. The result, the first practical lever filling fountain pen, earned Walter S | | By: Fountain Pens Site | | |
| | Are you after uniqueness? Wood fountain pens will inspire you | | 2008-02-11 17:46:00 | | Why wood fountain pens?Wood fountain pens have become very popular because of 3 main factors:1) Unlike mass-production pens, wood FP's are hand-made and each item is absolutely unique by the nature of its manufacturing;2) wood is the healthiest material out there, far more eco-friendly than those made of plastic or acrylic substance;3) Wooden fountain pens can be customized exactly the way customer wants. Engraving, colouring, type of wood, filling mechanism, nib - everything is up to customer's wishes.Wooden fountain pens are hand-turned using a lathe, and the essential tools necessary to create beautiful wooden products. The wood pens are made from exotic wood from countries such as Africa, South America, and Central America. They are finished with the highest quality craftsmanship.And of course wood pens makers offer responsive service and friendly support - something that not every big manufacturer can provide its customers with.All this makes wood fountain pens really awesome gift | | By: Fountain Pens Site | | |
| | Omas 360 Collection of fountain pens | | 2008-02-10 16:33:00 | | The Omas 360 Collection is the most revolutionary collection of writing instruments of our time. The Omas 360's triangular body is based on ergonomic principles, and combines a perfect grip and nib angle to permit fluid, uniform calligraphy with uninterrupted ink flow.

| | Fountain Pens have lived till modern days | | 2008-02-09 15:35:00 | | Fountain pens have started regaining the popularity they once enjoyed.In this era of mass production, a $100 writing instrument needing refill might well seem an extravagance. Yet a good fountain pen will last a lifetime. It lends character to the signature of its user, and makes writing a much more thoughtful experience.A fountain pen contains a reservoir of water based liquid ink. The ink is provided to the nib through a feed via a combination of gravity and capillary action. Older fountain pens had an internal rubber sac that was squeezed and released to create the suction needed. The more modern fountain pens can utilize a converter, or screw or piston mechanism, or a disposable ink cartridge.Despite the perceived heightened prices in the modern niche, good quality steel and gold pens are available inexpensively today and there are even some disposable fountain pens available. The main reasons people seek fountain pens in recent times are for: ease of writing and comfort (some suff | | By: Fountain Pens Site | | |

| | Entry Level Fountain Pens | | 2008-02-04 18:45:00 | | Waterman has some entry level fountain pens, available at our local Staples for $50-70, so probably yours too, or other office supply store. I have a nice Platinum pen (brand name, not what it’s made of…) I got from Levenger for $60. This is my “everyday” pen. Sheaffer makes some cartridge-only fountain pens for under $30, if you just want to try one out and see how it goes for you.Generally speaking, the more expensive pens have very artistic outsides, flexible and precisely-crafted nibs, and better-quality materials for the inner workings. As in all things, 1) you get what you pay for, and 2) each person has his/her preferences.Fountain pens aside, just thinking about all the Bics in landfills everywhere makes me want to be able to use writing implements that are at least refillable. I’m moving toward this at my own desk. | | By: Fountain Pens Site | | |

| | Never Share your Fountain Pens | | 2007-11-17 14:27:00 | | Why Not Share Fountain Pens with AnybodyFountain pens must not be shared.It is true that each one has his peculiar way of holding the pen and that the nib gets used to the angle at which it is held.So it is a good practice not to share one's fountain pen with others.But refusing to lend your fountain pen would have made you unpopular.But I would never lend my Mont Blanc or Parker to any one. I never had to. These expensive pens are usually not carried in one's pocket. They are usually for private and limited use and kept safely in one's drawers in the desk. It was too risky to carry it around. Chances were you would lose it. I have lost several "Heroes" in my lifetime.I have met people with extraordinarily neat handwriting who used very expensive pens and who flatly and without fear of unpopularity refused to lend them to others. But I wonder if they thought of mundane mechanical and geometrical factors like wear and tear or the angle of the nib etc. It was more due to the desire to h | | By: Fountain Pens Site | | |

However, one secret to sweetest deals are fountain pens up for an auction that are spelled wrong. There are a lot of people that have no clue what that fancy pen they found at home or inherited is worth, so they put it on eBay in the hope to sell it for a couple of bucks if they're lucky enough.Many people misspell words describing the lot in the title. They wonder why there are no bids. Here's why . . . the item does not show up in eBay searches . . . nobody knows it's there. Many times you could be the only bidder.People have no idea what they are actually offering, not only do they misspell the name, they haven't a single idea how to describe the pen or take a compelling photo.

| | How to care for fountain pens | | 2007-11-17 13:06:00 | | Fountain Pens Need Special CareFountain pens (almost all of them) are comprised of the same basic components: a nib (also called a point, this is the decorative metal writing tip of the fountain pen, available in stainless steel, rhodium gold and other metals), a feed (the ribbed component attached to the back of the nib), and the ink supply (various options here include: cartridge, piston, converter, plunger, vacuum, and sac). Many people do not realize that there are certain care requirements for Fountain Pens and that if they are followed many “problems” can be resolved or never start.Fountain pens come in many finishes and are constructed of a wide variety materials, so their care varies from material to material. Silver, sterling and plated: use a store bought polishing cloth or glove infused with silver cleaner. For hard to clean patterns and finishes such as “barley etched”, use a liquid silver polish with a soft brush to get the polish and tarnish out of the crevices.. | | By: Fountain Pens Site | | |
| | 6 Tips before you start collecting fountain pens | | 2007-11-17 12:41:00 | | Going to collect fountain pens?Many people like to collect antique or vintage fountain pens, while others like collecting the modern limited edition pens, or pens from a specific country. Collecting by brands, such as Parker or Sheaffer is also popular. Many people just collect what they like, resulting in a beautiful, eclectic mix of fountain pens.1. Decide if you want to focus your collection on one specific area of fountain pens, or if you want to collect a mixed variety of pens. This is important because you should define the purpose and area of your young hobby before you start joining forums of special interest in fountain pens.2. Read articles and books to learn about your favorite fountain pens. When you become familiar with pictures of the various fountain pens, you'll know when you to find a good buy at a yard sale, auction website (like eBay), flea market or thrift store.3.

| | Fountain pens filling system | | 2007-11-12 13:47:00 | | Fountain Pen Filling SystemsUnlike ballpoint pens, fountain pens contain a lot of detail and expensive craftsmanship in the nib. Thus, nearly all fountain pens are designed to be refillable. A number of different refill mechanisms exist, including piston fillers, sac fillers, lever fillers, and cartridge-converter fillers.Fountain pen ink cartridges date back to the 1950s. Some early models were made out of glass, but various plastics quickly became the material of choice. Some manufacturers experimented with refillable cartridges, but these were messy and unpopular; disposable cartridges quickly became the norm.Cartridges are considered by some to be more convenient than bottled ink. This depends a lot upon the pen's filling mechanism — whilst a good cartridge pen is less prone to mess than a bad bottle filler, a modern piston filler is very clean. Cartridges may also be easier to carry around than some ink bottles.There are downsides to cartridges too. They are typically more expen | | By: Fountain Pens Site | | |
| | Pilot Fountain Pens | | 2007-11-06 00:31:00 | | Murex is the ultimate modern fountain pen. You can carry it everywhere, travel with it, sit on it, toss it in your bag, knock it around, and it never fails you. This is the pen you'll want to grab as you go out the door. And this is the pen most likely to grab everyone's attention when you whip it out to jot a note.The first two short models were actually named "MYU" by Pilot. The later models full size models were called Murex. These were two distinct pen lines, although related. While western pen collectors lump both of these together under the Murex banner, most Japanese collectors do just the opposite and refer to both groups as "MYU" pens, short MYUs and long MYUs.Pilot MYUs and Murexes were only sold here in Japan, intended for the Japanese market, which explains why they are so highly valued in the west. Even in Japan they are difficult to find since Pilot no longer makes them. But they are such tough pens, the ones that do turn up are usually still in great condition.

| | Japan fountain pens | | 2007-11-05 00:29:00 | | Nakaya fountain pens of Japan have caused quite a ripple in the fountain pen community in Japan and around the world lately. These custom hand-made pens seem to be the topic of discussion almost daily on Pentrace and other discussion groups as well. It's amazing to think that this company was only started around two years ago, and consists of only a few retired pen craftsmen.The company didn't even have its own office until recently, but borrowed a room in the current Platinum Pen company building. A few months ago, in March, they finally became completely independent by setting up shop in a small office in one of the older neighborhoods in Tokyo.Recently I visited their office, camera in hand.I took the subway (the Ginza line) to Inaricho station which is located in Higashi Ueno. This area retains the atmosphere of old Edo, its ancient streets and buildings stubbornly resisting the winds of change, and is a very fitting location for Nakaya.

| | Keeping Fountain Pens Right | | 2007-10-07 18:36:00 | | Just finished an interesting morning at Parker Pen. Very helpful folks there; everyone wanted to get a look at the pen in Fred's pocket. As these were the same people who repair all the Parker pens they were very helpful. The consensus was that the pen is a "Vacumatic" (apparently spelled several ways) and I will prepare a report on the models of pens available at that time, as well as the measurements. Look for it next week.I am about to fly out to Europe for a while and am bringing some pens with me (of course) . I know that most ink rollerballs and fountain pens like to leak but do felt tip pens? I'd like to do some drawing during the flights and it would suck if my pens started getting all drooly.Yes, gel pens work fine. Smile My Micron pens were just fine on a plane trip, too.Actually, I haven't had a pen leak on me on a plane yet, but I haven't brought any fountain pens on board, since those are known to drool.Keeping the pen empty is an obvious way to avoid leaking; keeping it f | | By: Fountain Pens Site | | |
| | Care and Cleaning for Fountain Pens | | 2007-10-06 18:41:00 | | Care and maintenance are important to keep any pen a “good writer.” Here are a few points to remember:1. Never leave a pen filled and unused for more than a couple days.2. When not in use, place the pen in a nib up position or at angle where ink leaves the nib. (Do not store roller ball or gel ink pens in point up mode or be prepared to buy a new refill.)3. If the pen is to be stored, thoroughly clean it and ensure all ink is drained from the nib and reservoir.4. Always use first quality fountain pen ink. (Never India ink or technical fountain pen ink). Generally, the age of the stock is not a concern.Cleaning is always a good idea and there are some proven techniques to help. Any pen left unused several weeks with ink in it is likely to become clogged, to one extent or another. A partial blockage can be indicated by gaps in ink flow to the paper. Soaking in lukewarm water will loosen the clog adequately for a flow of water to further help eliminate it. I have a small, deep bowl I | | By: Fountain Pens Site | | |
