| ARTICLES RELATED TO Parker | | | |  Parker: Encyclopedia II - Alien film - MusicThe original score for the film was composed by Jerry Goldsmith. Despite the film's futuristic setting, the film is actually a horror picture, and the composer's score reflects this. With its oscillating string textures and bizarre sounds, like the titular creature, Goldsmith's score lurks in corridors and pounces without warning. Goldsmith composed a main theme in the romantic style that barely appears in the finished film.
Director Ridley Scott and editor Terry Rawlings became quite attached to several of the cues they used for the ...

| | | | | Parker: Encyclopedia II - Alien film - Themes The theme that most critics and fans of the film have pointed to is that of the human birth cycle. When Kane, Dallas, and Lambert venture into the alien craft, they enter through giant vagina-like openings and travel up a tunnel that resembles the birth canal. The long, telescopic machinery the fossilized alien sits in is phallus-shaped, and the egg that Kane finds could be interpreted as an ovum. All this imagery is not surprising since Giger's art is often of a sexual nature; however, this theme may have gone unnoticed by audiences be ...

| | | | | Parker: Encyclopedia II - Fountain pen - Filling Mechanisms The earliest fountain pens were mostly eyedropper fillers - that is, the pen was essentially an empty reservoir which one would fill with an eyedropper. This was a relatively awkward and messy process, though the absence of complicated mechanisms meant that an eyedropper-filler could hold much more ink than could a self-filling pen of comparable size. As a result, eyedropper-filling pens constitute only a tiny fraction of pens made today.
After the eyedropper-filler era came the first generation of mass produced self-fillers, almost all using a rubber sac to hold the ink. By various mechanisms, the sac could be compressed an ...

| | | | | Parker: Encyclopedia II - Fountain pen - Nibs The nib of the fountain pen is usually made of stainless steel or gold. Gold nibs are tipped with a hard, wear-resistant alloy that typically utilizes metals from the platinum group. Tipping material is often called "iridium", even though hardly any penmakers still use that metal in their tipping alloys. Steel nibs may also have harder tips; those without steel points will wear more rapidly due to abrasion by the paper. The nib will adjust itself more readily to the user's style ...

| | | | | Parker: Encyclopedia II - Fountain pen - Cartridges Most European fountain pen brands (for example Caran d'Ache, Faber-Castell, Dupont, Montegrappa, Stipula, Yard-O-Led, Pelikan, Waterman, Montblanc, Monteverde, Delta and Rotring) and some pen brands of other continents (for example Bexley, Retro51, Tombow and Acura) use so called "international cartridges" (AKA "european cartridges" or "standard cartridges" or "universal cartridges"), in short or long sizes, or both. It is to some extent a standard, so international cartridges of any manufacturer can be used in most fountain pens that accept ...

| | | | | Parker: Encyclopedia II - Fountain pen - Fountain pens as works of art Fountain pens are often prized as works of art. Ornate pens are sometimes made of precious metals and jewels; others are inlaid with lacquer designs in a process known as maki-e. An avid community of pen enthusiasts collect and use antique and modern pens and also collect and exchange information about old and modern inks, ink bottles, and inkwells. Collectors often tend to prize being able to actually use the ...

| | | | | Parker: Encyclopedia II - Alien film - Production O'Bannon wrote the original treatment in 1976 while staying with Ronald Shusett after the film version of Dune (directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky) on which he had been working fell apart. Artist Ron Cobb, who had worked with O'Bannon on Dark Star and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, produced a series of conceptual designs that defined the gritty realism of the film. O'Bannon and Shusett sold the script to the Brandywine company of David Giler, Gordon Carroll, and Walter Hill who had a production deal with Twentieth ...

| | | | | Parker: Encyclopedia II - Alien film - Early versions The original screenplay was written by Dan O'Bannon, who had collaborated with John Carpenter on the cult sci-fi film Dark Star. O'Bannon's original script was titled Star Beast, and was a revision of an idea O'Bannon had years before, about gremlins getting loose aboard a World War II bomber and wreaking havoc with the crew.
O'Bannon's original script bears many resemblances to the film that was actually produced, yet with significant differences. The spaceship—designed with a low-budget production in mind—was a sma ...

| | | | | Parker: Encyclopedia II - Fountain pen - Using fountain pens Together with the mass-manufactured pencil and the introduction of cheap wood-based paper, the fountain pen was responsible for a major transformation in writing and in the nature of paperwork during the 19th century. They gave birth to the precursor of the modern office, which would only come about at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th with the gradual introduction of the typewriter and early duplicating machines.
The fountain pen, and, to a lesser extent, the pencil, replaced the relatively hard-to-use combina ...

| | | | | Parker: Encyclopedia II - Colorado - Professional sports teams As of 2005, Colorado is least populous state with a franchise in each of the major professional sports leagues. In fact, as of the 2000 census Colorado was also the least populous state to have more than one major league team, let alone four. The state is able to support the teams because it contains a large metropolitan area, with a much higher population than any other city in over 500 miles. Therefore, many of the residents in the surrounding states support the teams in Denver, as show by the reach of the Broncos' radio network[6]. Colora ...
