If you haven’t acquired any of these inks, Timeless Blue is a good option, albeit a bit more expensive than Monteverde or Private Reserve (at least in the US). If I inked up seven pens with each of these colors, I think I’d be hard-pressed to know which ink was which. This is definitely an ink color category that is thick with competition. I think Parker Penman Sapphire has more sheen and is a little less violet in hue, even with the sheen. I don’t have a swatch of the white whale of the ink world: Parker Penman Sapphire but the swatch Jesi included in her review can be cross-referenced here too: When compared to other inks, as mentioned above, Pilot Iroshizuku Asa-Gao is a good option as well as Monteverde Sapphire, Penlux Cobalt Blue (a Sailor made ink so it’s probably lubricated as well), Private Reserve Cosmic Cobalt and Monteverde 2018 DC Supershow Blue (which is very hard to tell apart from Sapphire Blue). If you prefer wetter, more lubricated ink, the Pilot Iroshizuku Asa-Gao would probably be a good alternative. The ink adds a little tooth to the writing experience. ![]() The ink has a little bit of a gritty quality which is more noticeable on smooth paper or with pens that have particularly smooth nibs. Timeless Blue is a little dry, it’s good for EF nibs and everyday paper since it is not likely to spread as much as other wetter inks. On Tomoe River, the results regarding the color are consistent to the results on Rhodia - not much shading, a little sheen. And when wet, the ink shows some evidence of a soft lavender undertone. But the color is deeply saturated and bright. In regular writing, there is very little evidence of the shading and, with an EF nib, very little evidence of sheen. Not as much as the new Krishna S Series Paakezah but it does sheen.Įven on Rhodia paper, the sheen will show with wider strokes and heavier ink coverage. ![]() It doesn’t have a ton of shading but there is some sheening. The color is a bright, vivid Ultramarine blue. Not to mention, when am I ever going to use 85ml of any one ink? This is an upgrade from the larger 85ml bottles which are almost completely spherical but are more difficult to label once removed from the box. The 38ml bottles are flat on the front and back providing good real estate for branding and labelling the ink colors. Inside the cap is a rubber gasket which keeps the ink from leaking. The bolt cap is heavy metallic painted a brushed gold. There is gold foil stamping on both the box and and the bottle. We just want to celebrate that it’s over. As a Special Edition ink, its a good end-of-year celebration, for as much as any of us want to celebrate 2020. ![]() There’s no reason that the holiday festivities can’t continue, right? The Ferris Wheel Press Ink Timeless Blue Special Edition 2020 ($18 for 38mp) is a great gift. So, we have decided to bump this out to be our post-Boxing Day Inkmas post. Thankfully, one of our readers noticed the oversight. Huge apologies for skipping Day 8 on Inkmas this year.

The competitors of the Helios 700 are other 17-inch gamers equipped with Nvidia's strongest Turing GPU such as the MSI GE75 9SG, the MSI GT76 9SG, the HP Omen 17, the Schenker XMG Ultra 17 and the Alienware Area 51m. Our test unit, which includes the Core i7-9750H, the GeForce RTX 2080, 32 GB of RAM and two 512-GB SSDs, is currently available for around $2500. The display remains the same in all configurations: A matte 144-Hz IPS panel with G-Sync (which means that the device does not support the graphics-switching technology Optimus). ![]() It is equipped with between 32 and 64 GB of DDR4 RAM and between 512 GB and 4 TB of storage (SSD, SSD RAID, or a combination of SSD and HDD). The processor is either a Core i7-9750H (six cores) or a Core i9-9980HK (eight cores), both from Intel.

(At its maximum overclocking in the Helios, the processor draws about 107 watts.) But you don't really gain much by running in Extreme mode for gaming - the biggest boost seems to be on RTX ray tracing (as measured by 3DMark Port Royal), and that's only about 10%. Speaking of speed, the Helios 700 is the zippiest we've tested with the exception of i9-9900K-based models no surprise given that the laptop H series processors have a lower power envelope than their desktop analogs. Unfortunately, that one tops out at an i7-9750H and isn't quite as fast if you also need the speed. It's also a lot more striking looking, compensating a bit for the old-fashioned wide bezels that make the Helios 700 look dated and clunky. More its rotating display is a lot more flexible, not to mention better (this one's a run-of-the-mill 144Hz IPS G-sync model with a sub-sRGB color gamut). It also means that when it's running hot, it's not transmitting heat up through the keyboard, although the Predator's rubbery keycaps prevent them from getting hot as well.įor a big, heavy 17-inch laptop with a similarly innovative design, I prefer the On one hand, pulling out the keyboard makes it feel a lot more like a real standalone model with a slanted wrist wrest, which makes it more comfortable than most laptops for long typing sessions. The loudest fans I think I've ever heard, necessitating that I raise the volume in my headphones to hear dialog. Exposing the fans also means they get loud when maxxing out. That allows the system to remove a lot more heat from inside the system and is necessary for the Extreme CPU and GPU overclocking modes. In most ways it's a generic Predator design, with one big exception: the entire keyboard deck slides toward you, tilting the wrist rest/touchpad section down and revealing the dual fans.

Java Moss is so good at removing nitrates you’ll want to ensure you’re dosing ferts, if you have other slow-growing plants in your tank, like Anubias. barbieri in your tank will pull a significant amount of nitrates from your water, increasing the time between required water changes. This ‘paste’ of Java Moss can be glued or otherwise-bound to hardscape for a very fast naturally-growing look.Īnd it gets better: having a ton of t. Those stems will continue growing without any issues! (Be warned: it can take over your tank if you leave bits floating around!) If you’re going for that natural look, it’ll even survive being put through a light cycle in a blender to cut it into fine, small pieces. Literally cut off a portion of the stems, and leave them floating. Propagating Java Moss could not be easier. ![]() To ensure optimal growth, gently agitate the stems during cleaning to prevent any buildup. This is even more prevalent in slow-growth conditions (low light/flow/nutrients). It’s critical the you periodically trim the plant to ensure it doesn’t get overly-bushy.Īs with all mosses, algae commonly grows on it. ![]() Since plants can’t move to reach nutrients, a lack of flow reduces (or eliminates) the supply of nutrients, and that portion of the plant can easily die. Java Moss has a tendency to get so dense that it can block the flow of water through interior portions of the plant. Of course, all plants need light of some sort, so if that happens, it’ll turn brown as it dies, and it can even cause the entire plant to lose its ‘grip’ on its surface. It is important to trim it properly - as it grows thicker, the interior portions of the plant can be cutoff from light and the flow of water. barbieri grows faster in cooler temperatures, so if you’re looking for fast growth, leave the heater out! (Just a note here that if you have other plants that do require relatively-hotter temperatures, Java Moss will be perfectly fine at higher temperatures, it just won’t grow quite as quickly.) It will survive in temperatures ranging as low as 65º F, and up to 86º. It gets even better: Java Moss also doesn’t require a heater. Of course, higher light will push faster growth. Any decent aquarium light is very adequate. ![]() However, any light at all will suffice. Technically Java Moss does need light. It doesn’t even need planting - it will quite happily grow free-floating. This plant is likely impossible for you to kill. (Rhizoids are also what give Java Moss its famous capacity to “grip” the surface it’s growing on.) Ideal Conditions for Java MossĪs with (almost) any other aquatic plant, CO 2 and high light will cause java moss to grow faster. ![]() Instead, it spreads via rhizoids - brown, hairy, filament-like structures. Like other mosses, Java moss has no root system. barbieri will produce much larger leaves to capitalize on the CO 2 available in air. It can be dark or bright green, depending on recent new growth. It usually grows between 3 – 10cm thick, depending on tank conditions.īut here’s the kicker: It’s one of the best plants for beginners, and is nearly impossible to actually kill. Java moss has little, delicate, branching green stems with very tiny, oval leaves. (There are a few older names for it, like v esicularia dubyana, but t. The scientific name is t axiphyllum barbieri, but it’s commonly called Java Moss. “We got down there and we recorded a lot of music. I believe Teddy Riley went down there before and that was like the little secret getaway.” Robert Amar’s Caribbean Sound Basin Studios is the place where the Hitmen created and recorded for the first time as a unit. His father was a big tycoon and they owned gas stations, car dealerships and his son owned a studio. Puffy had connections with one of the biggest guys in Trini who actually ran a studio. When you go to these islands, they don’t want you to go in and make all of this money without the proper paperwork, I guess. “I remember tryin’ to go through customs with all that bulky ass equipment and they didn’t wanna let us through. Ron grabbed the producer’s tools of the trade at the time for his time in Trinidad: his Akai MPC60, Ensoniq ASR 10 and stacks of records. “Before we went to Trini, we signed our agreements and D Dot met me at my brother’s house and we went through a couple of records and one of the records that we grabbed was “Rise” by Herb Alpert, a song that we both remembered growin’ up as kids in the streets of New York, and I even remembered it from the soap operas” Ron recalls. He wanted us to work on an album that was called Hell Up In Harlem at the time, but it's known today as No Way Out.”īecause of the turmoil surrounding the on going East-West conflict Puffy felt that Trinidad would be a nice place to get away and concentrate. At one point says Lawrence, “He wanted to call us the Goodfellas. That was Puffy’s master plan.” Puffy summoned Ron Lawrence, Nashiem Myrick, D Dot and Stevie J and announced that he was forming a production team called The Hitmen. He continues, “During the time when Puffy started the Hitmen we decided to take a trip to Trinidad, so that we could get away and focus on dominating the airwaves of New York City. “I’d, just left LA before signing to Bad Boy and I was at my brother’s house in Mt. Ron shares the story of the making of “Hypnotize”, the first single from the Notorious B.I.G.’s last album Life After Death. ![]() He was one half of the rap duo 2 Kings In A Cipher with Deric “D Dot” Angelettie, and he attended Howard University with Sean “Puffy” Combs - ultimately became part of Puffy’s production team, The Hitmen. He grew up in the same Queens neighborhood as super producer Hurby “Luv Bug” Azor and worked with him early in the Super Lovers, The Turnout Brothers, and The Invincibles. Ron Lawrence has quite a resume in Hip-Hop as a DJ, MC and producer. The birth of Diddy’s production team, The Hitmen, and the creation of Biggie’s “Hypnotize,” happened at the same time in the same place, and producer Ron “Amen Ra’ Lawrence was there and an integral part of all of it. ![]() Available now on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux.
