If you own the Just Flight 146-200 Jetliner you can expand your fleet with these 14 finely detailed airline liveries from Europe and North and South America. Also in this pack is an FMC for the 146-200 which you can install if you want to - 146-200s didn't actually have one fitted when they left the factory but you might appreciate the added convenience of flying with one!
Enjoying the Just Flight 146-200 Jetliner?
If you'd like some additional liveries and an F-Lite style FMC (Flight Management Computer) then this pack is for you! The 14 super-quality liveries cover Europe, the USA and South America and bring you a mix of well-known airlines as well as some of the more obscure carriers.
The real 146-200 was not fitted with a FMC as it left the factory but we thought that you might like the added versatility of flying with an FMC. If you prefer to keep things simple, you can still fly the 146-200 without installing the FMC but with these new liveries! Expand the Detailed Description section below for the complete livery list and full FMC details!
European operators:
- Atlantic Airways
- Conti-Flug
- Crossair (Livery B)
- Romavia
- SwissAir Express
- Virgin
North American operators:
- Air Cal
- Air Wisconsin
- Delta Connection
- United Express (Older livery)
- US Air (Newer livery)
South American operators:
- Star Peru
This custom-coded Flight Management Computer (FMC) complete with manual is designed to assist you with functionality that many flight simmers miss on the default FSX aircraft:
- Flight Plan pages - load and activate pre-made FSX flight plans without having to leave the cockpit; track the route, and get an overview of distances and arrival times to the next waypoint en route and your destination
- Modify your route and save it
- Cockpit Navigator pages - easily switch (open/hide) panels via the FMC
- Checklist pages - access the 146-200 checklists and work through them with the help of the FMC showing you matches/mismatches between required checklist items and current aircraft settings. Only when all aircraft settings match the checklist requirements will the checklist will be completed and closed
- Aircraft/flight status page, showing date/time, coordinates and some general aircraft information at a glance (flaps status, gear status, fuel status, lights etc.)
- The FMC can hold two flight plans - an active flight plan and a standby flight plan. You can load a flight plan direct as the active flight plan (for immediate use) or you can load it as standby flight plan and set it active later. You can have an active and a standby flight plan loaded at the same time, so that you have an alternate route in case you need to change plans. With both flight plans you can add and remove waypoints

Eric Affeldt, CEO and president of ClubCorp, Dallas, ranks No. 1 on Golf Inc.'s 2015 Most Powerful People in Golf list for a third time.
The list ranks individuals' influence and their organizations' ability to positively affect the golf industry.
Affeldt, who in addition to topping the list in 2014 and 2010, has ranked in a top five spot since 2007, less than a year after taking over as CEO and president after ClubCorp's acquisition by affiliates of KSL Capital Partners in 2006.
The list also includes Jack Nicklaus (No. 3); Tim Finchem, commissioner of the PGA Tour (No. 4); Mike McCarley, president of the Golf Channel (No. 8); Donald Trump (No. 11) and professional golfer Jordan Spieth (No. 18).
The magazine details ClubCorp's growth fueled by its reinventions, last year's $265 million acquisition of Sequoia Golf along with the addition of another nine courses acquired in the past year. Affeldt has guided the company to a record 24 percent year-over-year revenue growth as of second quarter ending in June 2015, catching the eye of Wall Street with the company's stock price jumping 30 percent over the same time period.
"It's an honor to be named to the list and a testament to our many employee partners for their service and dedication to our members, helping ClubCorp stay on top in the industry," Affeldt said.
ClubCorp ranked No. 5 on Club Industry's Top 100 Health Clubs list this year with 2014 revenue of $844.16 million.

i spoke to a real poet
last night
what else!
we agreed that questioning
is the backbone of life!
to come and go as we please
no apology, no excuse
the question mark(?) is the key
to many doors
fingers to remove our blindfolds
a context to what we feel
that moment
poetry magnifies!
yet brings together
words are the archways under which
we pass
whispering to us in our sleep
a light in the pitch black night

Great piece, the way mantenna ought to be in film form, as the rest of your versions , these are the versions that will always stay in my head when Im talking about these characters, youve imported them in a way that I always would have tried to explain but could never vision . Great, definitely you are the Alex Ross of the motu

Wow these are all so amazing. Absolutely love your style and the little differences you add to each character. And that spikor.......So BA! My fav so far
"There's no back door to heaven just a front door to hell" - DIO RIP
Loving this thread so much!
Just wondering whether there's any chance of the links to the larger size images on Stratos & Mantenna, as you've done with the earlier ones?
One day Skeletor will finally conquer Grayskull...
...And pigs might fly!
Sincere thanks, that's one I won't be forgetting any time soon.
And as ever, thanks to all who take the time to peruse, comment and support this thread---you make a crotchety artist grin.
That one seems to have been a bit of a bungle on my part, but I'm not sure where exactly---usually the larger version uploads no problem, but for some obtuse reason, both Stratos and Mantenna were just a HAIR over the file size limit for a download link. I'm working on scaling them down just a bit to get around that problem, but the good news is that it'll be redundant soon---I've been in the process of updating and re-creating my old site, and I plan to offer updated, larger-size and higher res versions of all my MOTU art there. I'll be updating everyone once that's available (and of course, I'll continue to post them here as well).
Much will hinge on where Mattel's licensing policies stand at the time, whether I could even wrangle direct contact with them, and how much cheddar I could put together via a patreon or Kickstarter campaign---but if a few things fall into line, I believe it's possible (hey, I'm a dreamer). If I can't clear those hurdles, I'll find SOME damn way for all the awesome MOTU fans who've supported me all these years to get quality copies of the collection, in one format or another. There are a few... let's just say 'alternate' methods that some fan artists have used to accomplish this in the past, but I'd prefer for mine to be official if at all possible.
Here's hoping!
In addition to the mind-blowing art, your simple bio lines for each character sums them up perfectly, without a lot of added convoluted baggage. I love it! Paired with the image, it's like "oh yeah, I forgot... THAT'S who this person is!"
It's like cardbacks for adults... LOL!

Absolutely gorgeous art you have here. Fantastic stuff!
You can see the gallery here: https://www.he-man.org/forums/boards...p?albumid=1317
Maybe something there will inspire a new recreation! Your Mantenna is a twisted, bugly, joy! I am glad you have returned, as every entry has been a visual feast, and the timetable you are creating these in is quite impressive! Take care & cheers!
Check out my MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE ART & More at my ART BLOG!!!
JafariStew's ART BLOG!!
Jafaristew...the guy that coined the term "200X."
I give you Stratos, Hero of Avion, take two!
In a nutshell, the original Stratos has nagged at me since I posted it---certain issues with the pose being inconsistent (both in scale and orientation) with the other twenty illustrations, small but persistent irritations regarding aspects of the anatomy, and a handful of other nuisances have kept me revisiting it frequently. And I always trust my gut on this score---if I keep re-checking an illustration after it's completed, then something didn't pass muster.
So I've revisited the birdman while I continue to prep my new site for its launch. It seemed an appropriate time since I've already been making small tweaks to the remaining illustrations for the same endeavor.
Most folks might not notice any change except the pose, which I consider superior---its more dynamic, more action-packed, more consistent with the scale ratio of his pals, and it shows off more of his grace and agility in midair. His facial features are largely unchanged, as they were among the more successful aspects of my redesign; however I did adjust his feet to find a more traditional middle-ground between bird talons and humanoid feet. In addition to some costume tweaks, I also made his overall color scheme more gray to better match the classic Stratos everyone is familiar with. He's also been slimmed down a bit to better fit an aerial acrobat.
I hope you enjoy this second rendition! In the meantime, I hope to have news on the website very soon, along with some added surprises unique to that venue. I'll be putting in every available hour on that goal until it's complete, so I can get back to new characters ASAP!
This was largely a personal vanity, but I've learned that when I try to ignore my perfectionism it just redoubles its efforts (most illustrators will understand). Solving the problem now made more sense to me than waiting another three years to revisit a less-than-satisfying presentation as I did with my old He-Man solo illustration.
My gratitude in advance for your patience as I complete this endeavor. Take care all, and stay safe.
(Sidebar: since I'm still having the same issue posting a thumbnail of a larger-sized file, I went ahead and just used that file for the display image this time. It's not a perfect solution, but it's a stopgap until I suss out another).
I understand why so many folks are attached to Prince Adam; I get it. But for me, TV reception was sparse, I fought with every member of my family for TV time, so I only saw an occasional Filmation show as a child. My Eternia came from my imagination, the toys, and the early mini-comics, probably in that order. I had to fill in so many blanks, I relied entirely on those little magazines until they were worn through like toilet paper.
As I grew up, I was also a huge fan of sword and sorcery, post-apocalyptic and especially barbarian fiction---Conan chief among them. So it seemed perfectly suited that He-Man was one member of some noble tribe of primitive savages who had once been paragons of humanity and strength, lost in the Great Wars and left to degenerate in a remote jungle. But they never forgot their mandate to battle evil, and even as savages they probably had rituals---raising their young to be strong, brave, fearless and cunning, until one day the very best of the lot were all tested, with the victor told that his 'prize' was to leave the jungle; to seek out evil and destroy it, for that was their purpose.
The image of a barbarian in a fur loincloth, with nothing but a spear and his strength, forging out into blasted wastes to seek out injustice----that really entranced me, and still does. I understand why compromises were made for the cartoon, but those compromises turned it into something so far from what I imagined that it never really grabbed me. When I finally caught an episode here and there, I was often left bewildered by the differences.
It's not impossible that I may one day approach the character; but of all the designs in traditional MOTU, Adam remains the biggest long shot. Sorry my friend, I hate to disappoint anyone!
Great update Ryan , both stratos versions are fantastic, but your right if its niggeling your better sorting in now rather than later , I take it we are still on the rotation of hero then villain, will the next be a hero after mantenna last week
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
No, in seriousness, I try never to outright 'borrow' someone else's designs---but inspiration, these will provide in spades. Thanks for giving me a glimpse into this collection my friend, I can't wait to study them all!
Edit: Had to pop back in and add----Mermista has me enraptured! Kudos Jafari, I'm very impressed.

De-sander is very popular equipment used in solids and liquid separation running. It always contains cyclone unit and steel framework. With different diameter of the cone body, this cyclone device could separate the strong particles with different sizes. GN's de-sander is using 10 " cyclones which could remove the solids size down to around forty five microns.
GN's de-sander device is used in drilling business to separate the drilling cuttings from the drilling fluids. Conventional de-sander units don't have the actual under drying shaker with regard to maximum recovery of the drilling fluids liquid, thus a lot of valuable drilling fluids had been lost. However , this type de-sander and even the de-silter device are very simple structure as well as cost effective.
To make the discharged solids much dryer, GN would rather suggest choosing the de-sander device with a under drying shaker which could recycle much more drilling fluids. This could reduce the waste materials discharges to environment and also the cost on drilling liquids materials. GN has a de-sander model with under drying out shaker of 2 layers displays panel. This unit is actually functioning as both main shale shaker and de-sander unit. The drilling liquids gets into this de-sander device via the mud supplier pipe and then flow at the bottom layer screen firstly with regard to primary solids control. Fluid gets through the screen nylon uppers and falls down to the actual under located mud tank. Large size particles will be released out of the shaker. And then the actual liquid will be transferred with a centrifugal pump unit towards the de-sander cyclone unit with regard to fine solids separation. The actual mixture of liquid and solids discharged from the cyclone can come to the upper layers screen for drying processing. Right here, to prevent the damage of screen mesh resulted by the powerful impact force of solids discharged out from the cyclone device, GN designs small barrier box to cover the store of the cyclone. This barrier box is small sufficient to make the unit more compact.
GN's double-layer screen panel shale shaker can also be used as just primary shaker for a lot fine solids separation. Apart from de-sander unit, de-silter device can also use this type shaker as drying shaker.
GN Solids Control sell a series of solids control equipment and drilling waste management equipment, welcome to contract to know more info from our sales team.

Nuggets Star Shares a Positive Message at Sunset Ridge
You need at least version 7 of Flash player. Download latest version here!
Denver Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari is most often seen with a basketball in his hands, either driving to the hoop or launching a three-pointer, but Tuesday he was at Sunset Ridge Elementary playing indoor tennis.
"Gallo" and the kids loved it.
The National Junior Tennis and Learning Chapter (NJTL) and the Laureus Foundation brought "Gallo" to the school to talk about the importance of sports and how it can be used to promote social change.
"Sports is important because it teaches you how to develop relationships with others and how to share a goal," said the 25-year-old star. "It's important to work towards something together."
Gallinari is in the middle of a rehabilitation program after injuring his knee in April. He is not sure when he can play pro ball again, but he was healthy enough to hit the ball back and forth with students participating in the "Net Time Tennis at Adams 50" after school program. It's supported by the District 50 Education Foundation and NJTL.
"This is an amazing turnout," said Pat Kelly who is the director of NJTL and a board member of the Education Foundation. "Tennis is a great tool to engage students and also have fun. The game teaches great behavior skills."
The Laureus Sport for Good Foundation raises money to provide activities for students around the world. Gallinari is one of dozens of high profile "Ambassadors" for the program. At six feet ten inches, he is also one of the biggest, and seemingly kindest.
He was a huge hit with the kids who had all kinds of questions for him. They also got autographs and had their pictures taken with him.
Also on hand were tennis coaches from the Coach Across America (CAA) program which supports the Net Time Tennis program in District 50. CAA provides coaches who can step in to offer support for schools that have had to cut sports programming because of budget concerns.
Alesia Escobar, a Westminster High School graduate is one of the coaches. She fell in love with tennis as a teenager and shares her passion with the next generation of tennis players. "It teaches you to not be shy and have confidence," she said. "I love to interact with the kids. They remind me of when I was there age."

Isaiah Stewart is one of the most sought-after uncommitted recruits in the Class of 2019, and he has everyone from fans to college coaches guessing on where he'll be playing college basketball next season.
During an Instagram Live with Joseph Tipton of Tipton's Edits on Tuesday, the 6-foot-9 forward out of USA Today top-ranked La Lumiere (IN) said he's considering Duke, Michigan State, Syracuse, Kentucky, and Washington.
"I'm definitely close to the bottom of things so that's why I say soon," Stewart, who starred at the recent Hoop City Classic shown on FloHoops.com, said of his decision timeline.
Players and coaches associated with every school are making their case for Stewart, ranked No. 5 in the 2019 ESPN 100.
Duke pledges Vern Carey, Boogie Ellis, and Wendell Moore are busy trying to add Stewart to a class that will have to replace the vaunted one of Zion Williamson, R.J. Barrett, and Cam Reddish.
"Those are my boys," Stewart said. "They've been trying to get me to seal the deal."
As for Michigan State, which missed out on Carey, Stewart would be a welcome addition up front. Mark "Rocket" Watts, who plays at Spire Institute alongside LaMelo Ball, wants Stewart to join him.
"That's my boy," he said. "He's a dog, I'm a dog. We think alike. We both want to go out there and get it. We have a similar mindset. He feels like me and him together would be crazy and do great, great things."
Syracuse is the local option for the Rochester, N.Y., native, and 2019 commit Joe Girard, the all-time leading scorer in New York State history, wants to play with Stewart, too.
"His message is he wants me to come to Cuse and be dominant... be right there with him," Stewart said. "He's the best shooter in the country."
Kentucky, as has been well-documented, has missed out on James Wiseman (Memphis) and Carey (Duke), and desperately needs frontcourt help in 2019, with Reid Travis and likely P.J. Washington leaving.
"It's hard not to listen to Coach Cal and all the success he has," he said of Kentucky coach John Calipari.
Stewart is also hearing from Kentucky commits Kahlil Whitney, Dontaie Allen, and Tyrese Maxey.
"I've been talking to all the commits: Kahlil, Dontaie, Tyrese," he said. "They all want me to make that move as well."
Washington is an appealing option as well because head coach Mike Hopkins is a former Syracuse assistant and has recruited the East Coast well since taking over at the Pac-12 school.
Naz Carter, Jay-Z's nephew, is working on that angle.
"Naz my boy," he said. "I've been knowing Naz my whole life. I played with him for a while. That's my big bro and I talk to him about everything, even if it's about other schools or just anything regardless."

Alternative and private loans
Alternative and private loans are credit-based loans offered by some banks and credit unions to students to help cover allowable educational expenses not covered by financial aid. These loans are not part of the federal loan program and not guaranteed by the federal government.
Typically, alternative and private loans:
- Require a credit worthy co-signer, with U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status.
- Can have fixed or variable interest rates.
- Have an interest rate based on a financial benchmark such as Prime or LIBOR plus a margin that is usually based on the creditworthiness of the borrower and co-signer.
- Accrue interest while a student is in school.
- May require repayment while you are still in school.
Prior to borrowing alternative and private loans, you should:
- Apply for and be sure all federal, state and institutional funds have been utilized.
- Compare federal and alternative/private loans at the Federal Student Aid website.
- Know the amount that you really need to borrow and don't borrow more than you need. Contact the Financial Assistance Office if you are unsure of the amount you need to borrow.
Because of the more favorable interest rates and repayment terms of the federal student loans, private loans should be considered after federal loans have been used, and the PLUS loan for parents has been considered.
While federal student loans should be a first choice, we understand that some students will choose to borrow from private lenders. Augustana College does not have a preferred lender list or any type of preferred lender arrangement. We have compiled a list of lenders that our students have used over the past three years. Augustana does not promote, recommend or endorse any lender on the linked list below. Augustana College will process private/alternative loans through any lender of your choice; you are not limited to the lenders on this list.
Here is a list of lenders used by Augustana students over the past three years
If you are considering borrowing an alternative/private loan, we recommend applying by July 15 for ample processing time.
Private Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification Form
Students applying for alternative and private loans must complete and submit to their lender a Private Education Loan Self-Certification Form prior to the processing of the loan by the lender. Call the Office of Financial Assistance if you need additional help completing the form.
Code of Conduct for education Loans
The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) requires institutions of higher education to establish and follow a Code of Conduct with respect to student loans that prohibits conflicts of interest for any financial aid professional [HEOA § 487(a)(25)]. In accordance with this requirement, each staff member of the Office of Financial Aid at Augustana College signs the following conflict of interest policy and code of conduct on an annual basis.

…the official Valentine's Day hedgehog
Today's drawing is a hedgehog and when Winnie asked what his name is my husband declared that it is Harold.
….thank you Dad
My Dad was hinting at buying me chocolates for Valentine's Day and I asked him not to. I also warned him that flowers are very expensive as well and it would be better to wait. On Sunday I took him to Costco with me because he loves to shop and there are things that he only likes to buy there. We usually split up and meet at the checkout. He was just ahead of me and I noticed that he had a bouquet of flowers in his basket. Thanks Dad.

Works by Marjorie Fedyszyn, Mark Granlund, and Ellie Kingsbury
On view September 2 to 30
Artist Reception Saturday September 16 from 4 to 6 pm.
For Marjorie Fedyszyn, art making is a meditative ritual, allowing her the time and space to explore the tensions of the dualities that life presents: strength and vulnerability; things beautiful and grotesque; of the subconscious or sentient thought; things lost or found. These ideas all play out in her work as an artist. The result is a connection to the emotional self.
Lost/Found began in summer of 2015 shortly after she helped move her mother from Western New York State to a dementia nursing care facility near her home in Minneapolis. Witnessing her mother's gradual, irreversible decline as she approaches death has been a humbling and tender experience that so many of us share. The sense of loss she feel each time they visit hangs heavy on her heart and this work honors both her mother and that poignant loss.
Working intuitively, Fedyszyn combined found objects collected throughout her life and scraps discovered while on walks, with many sheep fleeces people donated to my felting practice over the years. During a period of eight months she created the multiple elements you see on the walls of the gallery by felting the wool and hand stitching texture into it; adding found pieces and hand worked materials after the shape had been established. Fedyszyn created the installation, Sorrow this summer to go with the other components especially for this exhibition.
Mark Granlund's work began as a way to document the food in his refrigerator that is thrown out: tomatoes that have softened, an eggplant that starts to mold, carrot tops that are not eaten, etc. This is an odd unintended waste that happens to most people. This series of work began as an homage to Vanitas paintings created in the 16th and 17th Centuries. Vanitas paintings would include a human skull or a piece of rotting fruit to remind people of their mortality. Granlund's food waste paintings are an allegory for humanity's waste of our natural world and how we have become soft – forgetting who we are, where we are and how to care for ourselves.
Images of mundane vegetable parts and forgotten food become pregnant with meaning as Granlund looks at the question of edibility. The edible is defines as fit to be eaten as food. Food is defined as any nourishing substance that is eaten, drunk, or otherwise taken into the body to sustain life, provide energy, and promote growth. Is everything labeled food really edible? There are parts of our food that we do not eat, but throw away or compost. After a certain point in time, food is no longer edible and becomes non-food. Some food isn't edible until it has been altered. Amongst all of this change and inconsistency our industrial food system, like much in American life, substitutes healthy elements of our food with less healthy elements. Some contemporary foods are harmful to us, not sustaining life, providing energy, or promoting growth. Some ingredients, in any other situation, would not be considered edible. Although the industrial food system strives to create food that will not rot, it ends up that the food that can rot is what provides us the most nutrients and sustains us best. Other than breathing air, eating food is the most interaction we have with the natural world and its processes.
Ellie Kingsbury's photographs of individual vegetables; dirty, lumpy, and imperfect, reflects on our culture's fixation of newness and perfection. Kingsbury's inspiration comes from having grown up in a Midwestern farming community and from keeping a large vegetable garden. She equates stumpy carrots, cracked tomatoes, and bug-eaten corn as real food, and distrusts anything that is too pretty.
Grocery stores' cherry-picking of blemish-free food might make for good marketing, but it also indicates a further distancing from the cycle of life. She is also drawn towards the unassuming heroes of the vegetable world – while it's easy to be attracted to the fleshy pleasures of things like peppers and eggplant, it's the lowly cabbage and potato that have kept entire cultures alive in bad times. Though her subjects' characteristics may look fragile, there is an underlying strength. They emerge from a darkened environment, contemplative and tenacious. Each photo is carefully lit to study the character of her subjects. She doesn't make a spectacle of scars or decay, but rather works to show how the sturdiness of withering vegetables is itself a beautiful thing. Kingsbury extends her themes by printing her photos on handmade tissue paper. Much like the skin of her subjects, the paper seems fragile, but it is likewise more substantial than one might think. This process adds back in the tactile elements of wrinkles and blemishes, which further accentuate the imperfect surfaces of the vegetables.

About a decade ago when giant bulls still wandered many back-country hideaways here in North Idaho, I matched wits with a monster of unforgetable proportions. These were the days when it was not uncommon to find huge rubs on trees of eight inches or more in diameter and pie plate sized hoof prints in the mud. Large herds of cows were the norm, and wolves were a bed time story. "Growler Bull" was the name given to this behemoth by my brother Lance and I due to his unique bugle. Many years and thousands of vocal cord-damaging bugles had given this old monarch his distinctive voice. Rather than a typical three note bugle, his was a raspy wheeze-like scream, minus the high notes.
My first encounter with the Growler was on the last day of bow season with with none other than Corey Jacobsen. We had spent a long hard week chasing bulls, and had ran out of fresh buglers. Corey asked if I had any other spots where we could find a last minute bull. I scanned my memory bank and remembered a growly bugle that I had heard early in the season, but due to the nasty nature of the terrain my brother and I opted out, looking elsewhere for an easier target. When I mentioned the place, Corey jumped at the notion.
Daylight found us at the top of a large drainage with bugles in hand. Corey called and the Growler answered back immediately, almost like he had been waiting there for us to return. He was located on a ridge that plummeted deep into the drainage. Since the morning thermals were headed down hill we had to drop straight off to get on his level, then side hill over to the bull. No easy task due to the nearly vertical, brush choked hillside. We called, scrambled, and fought our way down and over toward the bull through ten foot high brush until we had climbed onto the bulls ridge.
I was in the lead with Corey following close behind when the bull decided to make his move. With a thunderous crash, Growler herded his ladies our way with screeming guttural insults. Cows started streaming by us at fifteen yards in a single file line. Cow number thirty went by with a spike following up the rear, and following them was an elk colored "army tank". His body dwarfed every cow in his harem, and his beautiful sweeping six point rack was equally impressive. With a very quiet cow call, I stopped him at eighteen yards….right behind a bark-less snag who's dead twisted branches covered his vitals. Meanwhile, the cows were all pooled up in the brush over by Corey, waiting for their marching orders. At full draw and burning a hole through the branches with my site pin, the cows spooked returning on the same path they had just traveled. Confident the bull would take a step in my favor, I held my eighty pound round wheel bow at full draw for what seemed an eternity as the cows filed by. When the spike who was heading up the rear finally ran by, Growler lunged, turned, and following his harem to safety. Rubbing our eyes in disbelief, we giggled like school girls.
My next encounter with the old monarch was the following year. It was near the end of September again and had snowed a light skiff the night before. My brother Lance and I had several bulls answering our calls down and across the drainage. One bull's wheezy growly bugle had me zeroed in on his location. Struggling down through the cold, wet snow covered vegetation, we closed the gap with the bull. We set up shop, close as we dared, as I fired up again working the bull without much luck. He wouldn't budge, but continued a constant flurry of bugles. I urged Lance to move forward and stalk in on the bull as I kept him talking. Lance got setup and I could see him in the distance motioning me to move up. Crashing down the hill like an elephant screaming insults was all the Growler needed to hear. He wheezed his reply and came in on a string to Lance. At five yards, Growler passed behind a hemlock sapling allowing Lance to draw his bow. Since this was back in the days before D-loops, his arrow had been nocked for quite a while with his release putting pressure on the back of the nock, causing it to push forward. As Lance drew his bow, the nock pushed off the string causing it to fall, clanking against the riser then to the ground. Miraculously, the bull looked the opposite direction allowing Lance to recover his arrow, and draw back just in time for the Growler to turn around and return from where he came.
My last meeting with the giant bull was two years later. It had been pretty slow, due to warm dry conditions. I was camped by myself that year except for three guys who were across the same campsite from me. One fellow at the neighboring camp had invited me over for a cold beverage when his compadres went to town that night, so I walked over to his camp to join him. We talked about elk hunting long into the night and then I bid him good luck and good night. When I awoke the next morning, the sun was fairly high and my pounding headache reaffirmed why cold beverages should come after your tag is notched. I shuffled around camp head hung low, loaded my gear and headed out to salvage the remainder of the day. Mad at myself for being so foolish, I mumbled and scolded myself as I walked through the waist high huckleberry brush. I made a few quiet cow calls trying to disguise the cornflake crunching noise as I made my way across the ridge. Then it happened, Growler ripped a devastatingly growling bugle just out of site, less than fifty yards away in a thicket of hemlock saplings . Much to my chagrin, he was almost directly down wind. Backtracking a bit, I tried in a last ditch effort to gain the wind's favor, but with no luck. His huge hooves crashed off safely, back into his secret place.
With my skull splitting headache and uneasy stomach, I reasoned that if I were to bail off into the hole where the Growler had went, I could hang out till evening and perhaps get a second chance. Walking down the ridge on remnants of an old game trial I dropped in elevation looking for an ideal place to make my set-up. Crash! A spike that was bedded about ten yards away jumped up running and barked, giving up my charade. With a quick witted idea, I turned the spike's bark into a series of grunts since he was still only about fifty yards away. Evidently, it worked like a charm because Growler fired up again. I positioned myself to where he would have to crest the ridge to see his challenger, giving me a perfect shot. He bugled five times within about one minute while he closed the gap. Brush began to pop and swish just out of sight and I readied my bow as the wind started fanning my sweaty neck. He crashed off, so I sprinted to an opening hoping to catch a glimpse of my unseen Growler. I found a clearing just in time to watch him run up to the fringe of a huge, head high brush field. He began to make motions like he was going to rake his enormous rack, but instead he was trying to part the brush. His giant rack was huge, freakishly long curly tines, beams with "baseball bat" like mass carried all the way back to his sweeping whale tails. Finally, he leaped into the thicket, and all I could do is watch as his head and horns floated through the sea of brush. I guess he didnt like the smell of barley and hops!
At this point in my life I was overtaken by my obsession to kill this bull. All I could do is eat ,sleep, and plot against Growler. Hours of pouring over maps, running scenarios, scouting, and only talking to my closest of friends recounting all the details. I'm sure my wife was quite annoyed by my blank stare and bugling in my sleep for the next two years.
The following two seasons I couldn't find him. I checked all his old haunts and new areas where I thought he might have relocated to. I hadn't heard of any hunters bagging a bull of his magnitude in the area, and hoped he had temporarily moved away do to the new presence of wolves in the mountains. In the spring following his second year hiatus, I learned of a local dirt bike enthusiast finding a huge dead bull in the trail at the bottom of Growler's drainage.Appeared to be a wolf kill. When I finally saw a picture of the rack, I had to hold back the tears. It was him. His horns had regressed a bit but were still very impressive and still carried all his old character, and some new.
Heartbroken I did what any elk hunting fanatic would do, I set out looking for the next one. Call it crazy, but Ive carried a picture of his rack every year since then, just to remind me to never give up till I put my own arrow or bullet into a bull of a lifetime like Growler.

- Review + Giveaway: The Mistress of Pennington's by Rachel Brimble

The Mistress of Pennington's by Rachel Brimble
Series: Pennington's Department Store
Genre: Saga/Romance
Release Date: 1st July 2018
Publisher: Aria Fiction
1910 – A compelling tale of female empowerment in Bath's leading department store. Perfect for the fans of the TV series Mr Selfridge and The Paradise.
Elizabeth Pennington should be the rightful heir of Bath's premier department store through her enterprising schemes and dogged hard work. Her father, Edward Pennington, believes his daughter lacks the business acumen to run his empire and is resolute a man will succeed him.
Determined to break from her father's iron-clad hold and prove she is worthy of inheriting the store, Elizabeth forms an unlikely alliance with ambitious and charismatic master glove-maker Joseph Carter. United they forge forward to bring Pennington's into a new decade, embracing woman's equality and progression whilst trying not to mix business and pleasure.
Can this dream team thwart Edward Pennington's plans for the store? Or will Edward prove himself an unshakeable force who will ultimately ruin both Elizabeth and Joseph?
Her gentle study drifted to his mouth and back again. 'Did you love her? The woman you once worked with?'
Joseph stared, as disquiet whispered through him. 'Why do you ask?'
'I find it implausible that a man who holds women in such high regard has not known what it means to love one. You have been in love. I see it in your eyes. Unfortunately for you, they're very revealing.'
He ran his gaze over her face and hair. Every sound muted. The amber glow of the few lit candles danced over her skin, turning it pearlescent. 'I was married. To a wonderful, caring woman. A woman who worked beside my father and I every day after we were married.'
Her voice softened. 'What happened to her?'
'She died.' He would tell her no more, the shame of his failure burned like acid in his chest and he quickly stood, wanting the intensity to ease, her justified scrutiny to end. 'Will you try on a pair of gloves?'
He brushed past her and breathed deep as he approached a box of his finished gloves. Lifting a pair of soft kid, perfectly stitched and the exact green of her eyes, the pale cream stitching the colour of her skin.
When he turned and walked back to his bench, she had sat in his seat. She carefully watched his approach, her eyes unreadable.
I know I've probably said this about Rachel Brimble before but I am always astounded by the diversity of her writing. Just when I think I've found a new favourite book of hers in one genre, I then find myself completely hooked on another book in a different genre! Her writing is that good!
The Mistress of Pennington's is the perfect book if you are looking for a strong female lead character. The scene setting is perfect and the Edwardian era is one where women are seen more as commodities or simply an extension of a man and should only concentrate on finding a husband. That should be the limit to their ambition. Yet, our main character Elizabeth is so much more than this. She's ambitious, clever and her head is tumbling with ideas of how to make Pennington's Department store run better and be more successful. There are only 2 things standing in her way..........her father and her gender!
Edward Pennington is not an easy character to like and Rachel Brimble has written him brilliantly, off-setting him with the lovely Joseph Carter who sees so much potential in Elizabeth, seeing her as an equal. He becomes someone who could possibly change her mind about marriage.A glove maker by trade, he convinces her to sell his gloves in the store. The pair are determined to show Edward Pennington that Elizabeth is more than capable of running the store and making a huge success of it and that she has a rightful place in the business world, despite Edward's views on women.
Rachel Brimble's writing is so beautiful throughout this book with the characters really jumping off the page. We get a real feel for the struggles of women during this period and the frustration of not being heard. The author has clearly done masses of research around the Suffragette movement. Class divide is also a theme throughout with Edward Pennington appalled that someone like Joseph Carter could have an interest in his daughter.
If you enjoy well written historical fiction with a wonderful story line and an interesting plot then this is the book for you. Beautifully paced throughout with interesting characters, I'm really looking forward to reading the next book in the series. Bravo Rachel Brimble for another excellent piece of writing. A highly recommended read!
Rachel lives with her husband and two teenage daughters in a small town near Bath in the UK. Since 2007, she has had several novels published by small US presses, eight books published by Harlequin Superromance (Templeton Cove Stories) and four Victorian romances with eKensington/Lyrical.
In January 2018, she signed a four-book deal with Aria Fiction for a brand new Edwardian series set in Bath's finest department store. The first book, The Mistress of Pennington's releases in July 2018.
Rachel is a member of the Romantic Novelists Association and Romance Writers of America, and was selected to mentor the Superromance finalist of So You Think You Can Write 2014 contest. When she isn't writing, you'll find Rachel with her head in a book or walking the beautiful English countryside with her family. Her dream place to live is Bourton-on-the-Water in South West England.

Scars Of The Crucifix
(Earache Records)
This is a re-release of DEICIDE's "Scars Of The Crucifix" that originally saw the light of day in 2004. The CD comes in an additional slip case and also features a bonus DVD that offers a previously unreleased 12 track live show (40:37min) as well as the "Behind The Scars" documentary (35:30min) that was already featured on the "When London Burns" DVD from 2005. If I'd checked this release back then I could hop right away to the DVD. But I hadn't, 'cause for various reasons (one of them is LUCIFERION), I lost interest in DEICIDE after "Legion" so this one is fresh to my ears. Unprejudicity rules so here we go! First contact with the opening song 'Scars Of The Crucifix' gave me the impression that this was a Thrash Metal record. Especially productionwise. But as soon as the first blastbeat appears all doubt was blown away by the blind and razorsharp aggression this quartet is known for. No matter what box you put them in, this album shreds! Hyperaggression is packed in meldodies that are at times as catchy (or simple) as a childrensong. Just listen to the chorus in 'Mad At God'! No matter how hard this band tries to sell themselves – the music does the talking and if you're into brutality only, this is cool shit! Top notch musicianship combined with effective songwriting and mindblowing intensity! Glen's insane vocals actually ruined it and that's a shame because musically there's not much wrong. In the end it's just too much for me – (or too less?) – not to mention the lyrics! I rather dust off "World Ov Worms" (but that's just to give you a rough hint musicwise). Let's see if DEICIDE can pull this of live on stage – on to the DVD! It's recorded on December 22, 2003 in Nottingham (UK) and I was pleased to see that they can! Didn't expect that this at all and I must admit, it gave me an idea why they deserve their status. The live set is shot from various directions, with a great performance, good sound-quality and a setlist full of classics (total playing time: 76:07min)!! If you didn't have this one already and dig these sickos, this edition is a worthy purchase. More info about this album by the U2 of Death Metal: www.earache.com

Scars Of The Crucifix
(Earache Records)
Yeah, I know some people will laugh at me for still enjoying DEICIDE that much although I'm not aged 15 anymore, but curse you all, DEICIDE still deliver finest straight and brutal Death Metal with blasphemous lyrics, that are so overdone, that they are just great! Unfortunately their last two albums were not that satisfying – "Insineratehymn" was a bit too groovy and "In Torment In Hell" sounded except two or three songs relatively uninspired. I thought DEICIDE were slowly heading towards their end, but now they managed to get out of their long-time contract with Roadrunner Records and seem to have found their true energy and drive again. "Scars Of The Crucifix" is undoubtedly the best DEICIDE album in years, short, to-the-point, straight and brutal as hell!!! Glen Benton, who recently showed on the VITAL REMAINS masterpiece "Dechristianize" that he still has the power to deliver an intense vocal perfomance, continues this tradition on "Scars…" as well. The possessed growl / scream mix one either loves or hates about DEICIDE is back in full force and really wakes memories of 92's "Legion" or the infernal debut. Songs like 'Conquered By Sodom', 'Fuck Your God' or 'From Darkness Come' could have been on DEICIDE's early releases whereas most of the other songs make me think of "Once Upon The Cross" or "Serpents Of The Light". The leads are infernal, the drums absolutely merciless, the band is tight as ever, the production is just great and even when the fan speaks in these words it should be obvious for everybody that DEICIDE have released a damn strong album. Check out the MP3 on the Earache website and be aware of the fact that it is the slowest song on the album. Watch out for the special edition of the album containing a DVD exposing DEICIDE as the wicked, posing Americans they are, just ridiculous… www.earache.com

Dive Inside Sidebar
EVEN THOUGH Dive Travel magazine employs a diverse group of freelance photographers, the production staff found itself craving new ways of creating dynamic images. And then they discovered morphing.
"The morphing was done to achieve a special look for the magazine," recalls Publisher Susan Wilmink. "(A look) that emphasized the topside experiences of dive travelers as well as the underwater spectacle. We had a hard time finding single images to reflect these feelings … so we forged out on our own."
Freelance photographers submit duped slides, which are scanned and saved in three resolutions on a Kodak PhotoCD. "Because I'm working with the images extensively in Photoshop, it doesn't really behoove us to get a fancy drum scan, because the image is pretty thoroughly manipulated by the time I get through with it," says Art Director John Newman. The images are pulled, color-corrected and, when it is appropriate, they are morphed before in-house separations are performed.
"(Separations are) done in Photoshop," Wilmink explains. "The process usually involves opening the raw image and converting it to CMYK. We go through several stages of sharpening the image … and brightening it for printing. It's a tribute to John's experience that we are able to achieve the quality we do, since we don't really have a high-end method of printing, testing and proofing the images in-house before they are sent to the prepress house for output."
Wilmink recalls the idea behind a recent cover (see image, below): "We decided to create our own mermaid. We took a photo we had of a ballerina … (and) morphed her with a really outrageous octopus."
Wilmink appreciates software that encourages creativity, but she gives credit where due: "Our art director is absolutely brilliant. … He was able to think his way through (Photoshop), make absolute sense of it and create wild images."
