Highly Commended - UKCeB 2016 Excellence Award
TFD Europe, DSL, Dstl and Army HQ
Optimising Equipment Support Solutions to Maximise Combat Power on Operations
Judges' Summary
- Significant data gathering and evidence collection
- Enables clear analysis of support model options
- Significant data analytics component
- Providing credible insights into a complex area previously fraught with subjectivity
Entrant's Summary
Dstl Research Project – Optimising Equipment Support Solutions to Maximise Combat Power on Operations - TFD Europe in conjunction with HQ Army Equipment Support, Dstl, DSL (QinetiQ and SVGC)
With the background of a return to contingency operations, Army Equipment Support (Land) Capability Planning Group (CPG) wanted to fully understand the implications of adopting, or not, first to fourth level repair support solutions across all relevant scenarios of planning and operations. Following some earlier Operational Analysis research by Dstl a new task was raised that would examine whether the REME has the correct and most cost effective support solution at the appropriate repair level.
The challenge was to address a compound lack of objective data and metrics of sufficient accuracy and quality, robust and repeatable evidence to support decision making, and methods, models and tools. This meant that deciders, rather than making evidenced-based decisions, were often using Military
Judgement Panels.
TFD, DSL, Dstl and Army HQ collaborated in a fully open manner to derive an approach to and then design, execute and exploit advanced logistics modelling to deliver a 'sandpit' that could be used to explore and test combinations of operational scenarios and support solution strategies.

I hope you have a good time on your road trip! Easter was our last un-married holiday ;)ReplyDelete
And it's great you got sent a check! We were so worried about paying for our wedding and then realized we get a check for taxes. Win!Replies
Ooooh Memorial day will be your first married holiday lol!Delete
I hope you have a great roadtrip! It sounds like you are well prepared. I am totally the same way about sharing personal things. I don't mind that people I don't know read it, but my family? Weird! Yes, there are ALWAYS hidden house expenses. I am glad that check came through.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for making me feel less crazy :).Delete
It's really great that you consider your husband's thoughts on your blogging--respecting His views and even complying to his requests. Not a lot of wife bloggers out there do that.ReplyDelete
Have fun on your road trip. :)Replies
Haha well... I don't know that I considered him much at the beginning, but I realized that since this is completely public, I really need to check with him on things that involve him. I'm an oversharer, so he reigns me in!Delete
Oh my goodness, one of my friends growing up had a hairless cat and in like 8 years of spending time at her house, I never once brought myself to touch it! It's been a while, so maybe seeing a picture of your cat will change my mind...I totally know what you mean about feeling more comfortable sharing with strangers than with people you actually know; it's weird, isn't it? I've had a lot of thoughts swirling around about it lately, and for now it's nice to know I'm not the only one. Have a good trip! It sounds like you have plenty of entertainment!!ReplyDeleteReplies
LOL she won't be hairless! They shave her with no guard, but there's still the tiniest bit of fur, so she won't look wrinkly and creepy.... ok so she might still look creepy. I'll let you be the judge of that ;).Delete
Have a fun road trip! I hear ya about unexpected expenses...recently I just put out $1300 on my car, those are the things of being an adult I wouldn't mind trading in :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Ugh, cars are the worst!Delete
You guys are so good about celebrating holidays! I'm jealous!ReplyDelete
Enjoy the road trip!Replies
Funny that you say that, because I felt like I 'underdid' Easter since we went to see family. But I have plenty of time to correct it :).Delete
I need to get some Catholic CDS. I was just thinking that I need to get back into listening to audiobooks while I'm in the car.ReplyDelete
I think that it is hard to share feelings and frustrations when you don't have close friends with whom will be understanding and not judgmental.ReplyDelete

I did something daring recently: I went shopping at a strange grocery store.
I realize buying groceries in an unfamiliar setting is not as exciting as skinny-dipping in the Caribbean. But these days you take your thrills where you find them.
So it was that I found myself tracking down -- and yes! eventually finding -- cans of hominy in some distant canned corn aisle. But I'm jumping ahead of myself in this spine-tingling tale.

Bellevue resident Brien Wygle honored for first flight of 737
Bellevue resident Brien Wygle honored for first flight of 737

Brien Wygle has lived a life of adrenaline.
Now at 92, he can look back on a life of firsts and milestones. Wygle was honored last month at Seattle's Museum of Flight, 50 years after he test piloted the first ever flight of the Boeing 737. On April 9, 1967, Wygle took off from Boeing Field (now King County International Airport) and landed several hours later at Paine Field in Everett.
"That first flight went really well," he said. "It was in subsequent flights we discovered a lot of problems."
Last month Wygle moved to the Bellettini, an assisted living-home in Bellevue, after decades on his own property abutting Lake Washington.Born in Seattle in 1924 to a Canadian father and English mother, Wygle's family moved to Canada when he was just 3-years-old. When he was 18, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force.
"I flew the C-47, it was a cargo plane," he said. "I flew in England and then was sent to Burma for a tour there."
While on the Indian subcontinent, Wygle flew low and into small arms fire to drop rations to beleaguered troops. He flew "the Hump" route, an infamous airlift route from India to China over the eastern edge of the Himalayas to supply soldiers attempting to take back Burma (now Myanmar) from invading Imperial Japanese forces.
"I dropped paratroops and a lot of supplies, including fuel, food, cigarettes and gin," he said. "I dropped a lot, and most of it was only 2/3rds full so it didn't explode on impact with the ground. I was able to land on little airstrips they had resurrected from the jungle."
After victory, Wygle stayed in the Royal Canadian Air Force for a year, before heading to the University of British Columbia to earn a degree in mechanical engineering with an aeronautical background.
Wygle joined the Air Force Reserve and a fighter squadron in Vancouver, also flying one summer for a small regional airline. After his schooling, Boeing hired him for its now-defunct Wichita, Kansas location in 1951.
He was soon sent to test-pilot school, flying the B-47 and B-52 under high-stress environments. He was lead test pilot for the 737 and co-pilot on the test flight for the 747.
When not working at Boeing, Wygle picked up an unusual hobby. He became a record-setting hydroplane pilot. He tells the story of Stan Sayres bringing hydroplanes to Seattle after winning the Gold Cup in Detroit in 1950.
"Seattle didn't have major sports at the time, the population was much lower," he said. "People would flock to the water to watch the races." He piloted the Thriftway 2 hydroplane for three years, setting a record for a race. He even wrecked one time.
"It was pretty bumpy, and you're driving at incredibly fast speeds," Wygle said. "My rudder broke off once. I was doing about 160 mph at the time. My boat did a 360 at high speed."
He said it was sad that people didn't seem to watch the hydroplane races much anymore, but understands all the other draws in Seattle can take away some of the novelty.
Wygle, a longtime board member of the Museum of Flight, was honored at a "standing-room only" event at the museum for his contributions to aviation. Original 737 engineers Bob Bogash and Peter Morton were also honored in front of the very same 737 which Wygle flew that April day 50 years ago.
"We had a big group there, the event went very well," he said. Wygle became Boeing's director of flight tests in 1970, just in time for the company's most troubled period.
"We finished work on the 747 at enormous cost overruns," he said. "The company was near bankruptcy. Bill Allen [former Boeing CEO and board chairman] told us that it doesn't matter what we need, this company cannot survive unless we cut costs." Wygle oversaw around 1,000 employees in the test flight division. After the dust settled, that number went down to 350.
He survived and saw the company back to a strong position, retiring at 65 in January 1990.
But his infatuation with aviation didn't end there. He and several friends build their own airplane and flew it until Wygle was 84. He spent retirement years with his late wife Norma tutoring at Renton Technical School, helping G.E.D. candidates get their diplomas.
"I just felt I should be doing something, and I loved to help young people," he said.
Wygle has four daughters who all independently ended up in Sun Valley, Idaho.

25 May
Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix – Practice – Thursday
Weather: sunny and dry, 21-25°C air, 28-47°C track
The Sauber F1 Team has brought further aero parts to the Monaco Grand Prix – after both practice sessions the first results are as expected. Overall it was a productive day, during which Marcus Ericsson and Pascal Wehrlein completed 35 and 70 laps in the two sessions. In FP1 Marcus Ericsson had a gear box issue, which was the reason for him not completing a timed lap.
Marcus Ericsson (car number 9):
Sauber C36-Ferrari (Chassis 03/Ferrari)
1st practice: 20th / no timed lap (3 laps) / 2nd practice: 19th / 1:15.691 min (32 laps)
"It was obviously not an ideal day. I have lost lots of track time in FP1 because of the gear box issue. That really hurts, especially on a track like Monaco, where you need to find a good rhythm every lap. The guys worked really hard to get the car ready again for FP2. The afternoon session was good in terms of running, but our pace is not satisfying at the moment. We made some proress in Barcelona, but here we struggle with the overall grip."
Pascal Wehrlein (car number 94):
Sauber C36-Ferrari (Chassis 02/Ferrari)
1st practice: 18th / 1:16.258 min (33 laps) / 2nd practice: 20th / 1:15.695 min (37 laps)
"Overall it was a difficult practice day for us. We definitely expected more here in Monaco compared to where we are. Therefore, I am not satisfied with today's performance. We need to understand the reasons for that, so that we can improve for Saturday and Sunday."

Bathroom Bowl Sink
Bathroom Bowl Sink – Have you been currently refurbishing your toilet or currently redecorating? Are you searching for bathroom sinks for spaces? Bathroom sinks come in many different shapes and sizes and they can match all spaces and styles; choosing a sink can be as sinks have heavy use and abuse and will need to be of very efficient and great quality. Here are a few styles and choices you can consider if space is a problem.
A Self rimming sink for counters: these sinks can also be known as counter tops and come in a variety of shapes and sizes, in a variety of configurations. They're mounted above the counters with rims that fit the countertop's space. They can be quite space saving whether the counter is not very bulky and big, and if configured.
A Pedestal sink may be a terrific idea for small bathrooms; people who sit on their basis and don't need a counter are referred to by this kind of sink. As they are sized, yet not too big or bulky they are used both in small spaces and powder rooms. The main disadvantage is that they don't offer you any space room, when required, however they do offer leg room. If installing base sinks, you need to take.
There is A sink a great choice for people who would like to combine the benefits of pedestal sinks with a more spacious counter place; in this event the sink and top are merged and the configuration can include either two or four legs. At the event it can be taken by the space and this style comes in several shapes and sizes, they come with additional counter space.

A ruined orgasm is where a dominant partner arouses the submissive to the point of orgasm but then denies them the pleasure of climax.
A typical practice would involve a submissive being placed in bondage and the dominant either teasing him or performing hand relief on his erect penis in order to induce an orgasm. In the final stages the dominant stops whatever they are doing. This still results in ejaculation but it is not pleasurable for the submissive.
This can often be done in front of others as a form of humiliation.

While everyone loved the summer for the endless sunny days in the beach, or winter for all the soft fluffy snow, i've always loved the fall more than any other. Fall is always filled with beautiful shades of red, orange, yellow, and brown. And not to mention, the fall fashion trends that never fail to impress me.
My favourite fall fashion staple would definitely be suede, suede, and suede. There's just something about the texture of suede that takes you back to the 70s. And the colour of suede of course, often circulates around tans an browns, the perfect shade for the fall.
For today's #OOTD, i decided that what better way to express my love for the fall than wearing my all time favourite fall fashion trend, SUEDE!!! I went for a suede on suede look, wearing my suede mini skirt from Forever21 and my fringed suede purse by Stradivarius. to balance of the outfit, and to still keep it suitable for the weather here in Indonesia, i decided for a black knotted crop top and my lace up heels from Forever21.

T is for the Twelve Labors of Heracles.
Zeus, King of the Gods, is well-known for his philandering ways, and as such, has fathered many (if not most!), of the Olympian Gods and Goddesses.
One affair that had far-reaching consequences, was his dalliance with the mortal, Alcmene.
Up to his usual tricks, Zeus had disguised himself as Alcmene's husband, who was away at war, to have his way with the beautiful mortal.
His charade succeeded, and Alcmene became pregnant by the God.
Later that night, Alcmene's true husband returned home unexpectedly, and made love to his wife and impregnated her.
When Hera, wife of Zeus, discovered her husband's infidelity, she was furious, and took it upon herself to stop the birth of her husband's illegitimate son.
She did succeed in delaying the birth, by tying her clothing in knots.
But after being tricked into believing the baby had been born, she untied the knots and Heracles, later known as Hercules, was born.
Hera hated this child with a passion, he was a living, breathing reminder of her husband's wayward ways.
She first attempted to dispatch of him when he was still in his crib, sending two venomous snakes to bite him.
Heracles was found in his crib, playing with the two dead snakes as if they were toys.
As a grown man, Hera's hatred had not dwindled for the Demigod.
She sent him insane, so as he murdered his wife and children.
When the fugue lifted from his mind, Heracles was filled with remorse, and prayed to his God, Apollo, for guidance.
As a part of his sentence he was told that he had to serve King Mycenae for twelve years.
Unsatisfied with this punishment, Hera and her agent, Eurystheus, then set Heracles Twelve Labors to complete.
Twelve Labors, that the Queen of the Gods dearly hoped would result in his death.
1. Nemean Lion:
The first Labor set for Heracles, was to slay the Nemean Lion and bring its skin back to Eurystheus, Hera's agent, in Mycenae .
The lion was terrorising the people of Nemea, and the populace lived in fear of the marauding beast.
The skin of the lion was as tough as armour, protecting it from the weapons the desperate people were using against it.
Having tried all that they could to dispatch the lion, the people had become resigned to the terrifying presence of the, seemingly immortal, beast.
It was then that Heracles showed up, equipped with his weapons of a bow and arrow, a club made from an olive tree ( of which he had uprooted with his bare hands), and a powerful bronze sword.
Upon hearing the plight of the terrorized villagers, Heracles was even more determined to defeat this mighty foe.
Heracles then faced off with the lion, using all his weapons in turn, and finding them, one after the other, ineffectual.
Finally, in frustration, he threw himself upon the lion, tackling it to the ground, where he stuffed his arm down its throat and choked the great beast to death.
The real test began as he set out to liberate the lion of its skin, of which he was to bring back to Eurystheus, as proof of his success.
Heracles struggled for hours, yet could not even force a blade through the tough hide.
He was at the point of admitting defeat, when an old woman appeared out of the watching crowd.
( The old crone was actually Athena in disguise.)
She suggested that maybe the lion's own claws would be the tool for the job.
She was right, and Heracles' then made short work of removing the tough skin.
Heracles immediately put the skin to use, wearing it as armor.
Upon returning to Mycenae , to report his success to Eurystheus, the King was so terrified by the sight of Heracles, donning his blood spattered lion hide, that he hid from him within a large bronze jar.
From this point on, the King would only communicate with Heracles through the mediation of a Herald.
2. Lernaean Hydra:
The Hydra was a giant water-dwelling serpent.
As well as having nine heads, the Hydra also emitted toxic fumes, to poison the unwary.
At the bottom of its watery lair, lay a hidden entrance to the Underworld, a gateway the Hydra protected fiercely.
An offspring of Typhon and Echidna, and sibling of the Nemean Lion, the Hydra was a formidable beast, one that Hera was sure would finally kill off Heracles for good.
As Heracles entered the Hydra's swampy lair, he tied a cloth over his nose and mouth, to protect himself from the noxious fumes, then fired off some flaming arrows to announce his arrival to the great serpent.
As the Hydra advanced upon him, Heracles took to it with his sword, cutting off the serpentine heads, one after another.
Heracles soon found this task to be futile, as he watched new heads growing out from the sheared off necks.
The regenerative ability of his foe had him stumped, and he called upon his nephew and friend, Iolaus, for advice.
Armed with a new strategy, Heracles again faced the Hydra.
This time, as he lopped off each head, he would dip his sword in the Hydra's corrosive blood, using it to cauterize the neck and prevent a new head from growing in place of the old.
This tactic worked flawlessly, and Heracles had soon annihilated his immense adversary.
When Eurystheus heard that Heracles had enlisted the help of Iolaus in defeating the Hydra, he declared the second labor would not count towards the tally.
Heracles' great victory against the Hydra was void, and he was then set an extra task to compensate.
3. Ceryneian Hind:
The Ceryneian Hind was an enormous animal that was sacred to Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt.
The Hind had golden horns, like a stag, and hooves of bronze.
It was also extremely fast.
The Hind was said to be so fleet of foot, that it could outrun an arrow.
The Hind had even escaped Artemis, when as a child, she captured four hinds to draw her chariot.
The Ceryneian Hind escaped the Goddess, as it fled across a river.
Artemis was so impressed by this agile animal, that she named it sacred to herself.
Heracles' Third Labor was a little different.
Having proved his extensive strength, in already killing two daunting monsters, Eurystheus became a wee more cunning in setting the next task.
He knew that if Heracles succeeded in catching the Hind, he would surely incur the wrath of the fearsome Goddess, Artemis.
Heracles set out to track the Hind.
He searched its known haunts for several days, but had not sighted the animal.
Tired and weary from his search, Heracles lay down to sleep.
The next morning, as he awoke, he spotted a metallic glint through the trees, and jumped to attention.
In the distance, he observed the Hind, the sun glinting off its golden antlers.
Heracles tracked the swift Hind for many days, and through many lands.
The Hind was so fast, he found he could get nowhere near close enough to actually catch it.
Again, he decided that this task would need some careful strategy, not to mention patience.
After tracking the hind for a whole year, Heracles watched as the ever-moving animal finally came to a stop.
He watched as the hind halted at the side of a river, and bowed its head to drink.
Heracles reached for an arrow, one that was not tainted with the blood of the Hydra, as most of his arrows were.
He drew back his bow and shot the hind in the leg, rendering the animal lame.
Only then, with the Hind incapacitated, was he able to get close enough to finally catch it.
On his way back to the palace, leading the Hind along behind him, Heracles came across Artemis and her brother, Apollo.
Artemis was furious at the sight of her injured Hind, but soon softened, as Heracles begged her forgiveness, explaining that catching the Hind was a part of his atonement.
Artemis forgave him, when he promised to return the Hind to her, unharmed.
When Heracles returned to the palace, Eurystheus declared that the Hind was to now become property of the King.
Remembering his promise to Artemis, Heracles agreed.
But as Eurystheus approached to take the Hind from him, Heracles dropped the lead and the Hind sprinted off into the forest and back to its mistress.
Eurystheus was livid, but Heracles shrugged and said it was too bad that he was not quick enough.
4. Erymanthian Boar:
The Erymanthian Boar was another vicious creature that lived in the mountainous country of Erymanthos.
The Bore possessed colossal and hazardously sharp tusks, capable of tearing a man to pieces.
The rugged area in which it dwelt, was a favored hunting ground of the Goddess Artemis and also home to a large population of Centaurs.
Heracles, gaining acumen along the way, now understood the value of knowledge in his mammoth quest.
It was in this spirit, that he called on Chiron, the wise-man of the Centaurs, before he faced the might of the Erymanthian Bore.
This was a smart approach, as Chiron advised Heracles to frighten the Bore, by making a racket of noise, to drive the beast into thick snow.
Heracles did just this, and when the Boar became trapped in the deep snow, he captured it easily and without fuss.
Heracles dragged the rope-bound Boar back to the palace, to be viewed by Eurystheus.
When he arrived, the man was so terrified by the dreadful boar, he hid in his chamber pot, begging Heracles to take the ghastly beast away again.
Heracles obliged, and released the animal back into its mountainous home.
5. Augean Stables:
Eurystheus and Hera were getting more and more agitated.
Not only was Heracles victoriously completing each Labor he had been set, he was also becoming a champion of the people, having now rid several communities of the beasts that held them in terror.
This time, he had decided on a more mundane task to set the fearless warrior.
The Augean Stables were owned by Augeas, and were home to the largest herd of cattle in the country.
The cattle were a Divine gift to the King and were, each one, immortal.
Being immortal beings, they were blessed with extremely good health, and as a result, produced a prodigious amount of dung.
The big catch being, the stables of these divine beings had not been cleaned in over thirty years.
Augeas, sure of the impossibility of the task, wagered that he would give Heracles one-tenth of his cattle, if he could complete the job in one day.
Upon arriving at the stables, Heracles was overwhelmed at the site of the massive piles of dung, which, like the stables themselves, appeared to stretch on to eternity.
Again, having learnt that wisdom and cunning were his best weapons, he took some time to scout out his surroundings.
His eye fell upon the two rivers that ran by either side of the stables.
Heracles quickly set to work, piling rocks along the riverbeds.
This makeshift dam he created soon had the two rivers diverted and running right through the stables.
The fast current washed through, around the hooves of the cattle, washing away every speck of dung, in record time.
Heracles was very pleased with himself and his ingenuity, and no doubt so were the, now spotlessly clean, cattle.
When Heracles approached Augeas about his promised cattle, Augeas refused to honor his wager.
Heracles killed the King, giving the Kingdom to Augeas' son, Phyleus and leaving with his squarely won cattle.
Returning to the palace to announce another successful completion, Heracles was met with a defiant Eurystheus, who denounced his effort, saying that he had not actually cleaned the stables himself.
He also claimed that because Heracles had been paid for his efforts, the cattle, the task had again been defaulted and he was to now be set another extra Labor.
6. Stymphalian Birds:
The Stymphalian Birds were an avian menace.
With claws and beaks of brass and sharp metallic feathers which they could shoot at their prey, they were a force to be reckoned with.
As if this weren't enough, their very droppings were highly toxic.
The Stymphalian Birds were the pets of Ares, the God of War, and these birds were certainly fit for a warriors pet.
The Birds resided in a dense and dark forest, around the area of Lake Stymphalus.
Heracles knew that this Labor could well be his last, as he entered a forest so dark that he could barely see, and knowing his adversaries could swoop down upon him at any minute, death from above.
Knowing this, he had first gone to seek advice from Athena, Goddess of Wisdom.
Athena suggested scaring the Birds into the air, so Heracles would then have a clear target.
Together, Heracles and Athena went to Hephaestus, a God famed for his skills at the forge.
Explaining their plan, they worked with Hephaestus to craft a pair of large, bronze clappers.
As Heracles entered the gloomy forest, he began banging his cymbals together, making such a cacophony, that the Birds took to the air in fright.
Heracles was quick on the draw, shooting the birds down, one by one, with his poisoned arrows.
Although he did mange to hit most of them, the Birds were great in number, and a few managed to escape.
The Birds that did get away, however, were never again to return to Greece.
Heracles had managed to clear the forest of the dangerous Birds.
7. Cretan Bull:
The Cretan Bull was a handsome white bull that was sent to King Minos by Poseidon, God of The Sea.
When the sovereignty of King Minos was under threat, he called upon Poseidon for help, asking the powerful God to send him a sign that he, Minos, was the true King of Crete.
Poseidon obliged and sent a beautiful white bull, that emerged from the sea.
The condition of Poseidon's aid, was that Minos would then sacrifice the Bull back to the Sea God.
But when Minos sighted the Bull, he was in awe of the magnificent creature and refused the sacrifice, preferring to keep the Bull to introduce into his own cattle's bloodline.
Poseidon was furious at the King's defiance and caused the King's wife, Pasiphae, to fall madly in lust with the handsome Bull.
Pasiphae, burning with lust, went to the craftsmen Daedalus, to help her.
He constructed for her, a hollow wooden cow, in which Pasiphae could hide.
The contraption worked, and the Bull soon mounted the wooden cow, and consequently Pasiphae, hidden inside.
Pasiphae fell pregnant to the Bull, and eventually gave birth to a creature that was half man and half cow.
This creature would go on to become The Minotaur.
(The story of The Minotaur is another great myth, and one I will post in full soon.)
As well as striking the King's Wife with uncontrollable lust, Poseidon also struck the Bull with a violent temper.
The marauding Bull was wreaking havoc on the city of Crete, so the arrival of Heracles was a welcome sight to the terrorized populace.
Having earned a name for himself by this stage in his Labors, the people knew Heracles could liberate their city from the intimidation of the rampaging Bull.
When Heracles arrived in Crete, the King begged Heracles to capture the Bull and take it away from his city.
This worked well for our hero, as the object of his seventh Labor, was to present the Cretan Bull to Eurystheus, who wanted the Bull to sacrifice to Hera.
Heracles stood his ground, as the mad Bull charged down upon him.
At the last-minute, he stepped aside, slipping a lasso around the Bull's neck.
At the very moment that the Bull felt the restraint of the rope, it calmed down and became tame once again, allowing Heracles to lead it calmly back to Eurystheus.
As Eurystheus prepared the bull for the sacrifice, Hera's anger could be felt.
Hera refuse to accept the sacrifice, as once more, the capture of a marauding beast had given glory to Heracles, whom she was now hating more than ever.
So Heracles gladly released the, now amenable, Bull to wander the city, then on becoming known as the Marathonian Bull.
8. Mares of Diomedes:
The eighth Labor of Heracles involved stealing the four Mares of Diomedes.
No ordinary horses, these mares were vicious and savage creatures, with a penchant for human flesh.
The Mares of Diomedes were beautiful, wild and completely uncontrollable.
They belonged to the Giant, Diomedes, the King of Thrace and son of Ares and Cyrene, himself not one to be taken lightly.
Unfortunately for Heracles, he was unaware of the Mares liking for human flesh and only reckoned on Diomedes being the challenge of this task.
He did not understand that the horses were kept tethered to a strong bronze railing for the protection of the people.
For this Labor, Heracles had enlisted the help of one of his male lovers and his friends, to help lead the Mares away from Thrace.
Slipping in to the city under the cover of darkness, the thieves were nonetheless discovered as they untethered the Mares.
As Diomedes gave chase, Heracles instructed the boys to keep going with the Mares, while he would turn back and fight off the angry Giant.
Heracles successfully fought and killed Diomedes and then made his way back to the group, dragging the body of the great Giant behind him.
When he arrived, he found the horses grazing sedately, but no sign of his lover or his friends.
Heracles was horrified when he realized what had happened, the Mares had devoured the boys, leaving only bloody rags as evidence of the atrocity.
In his anger at losing his young lover, Heracles then fed the body of Diomedes to his own horses.
The upshot of this was that eating human flesh calmed the Mares and rendered them controllable.
In their now sedate state, Heracles was able to easily bind the mouths of the Mares shut and then easily lead them back to Eurystheus.
Unlike many of his other captured monsters, the horses were too dangerous to be set free.
Eurystheus ordered them taken back to Mount Olympus to be sacrificed to Zeus.
But Zeus refused the sacrifice, knowing that the horses held the flesh of man in their stomachs, he deemed them unsuitable and sent a wild pack of lions to kill and devour the Mares, thus putting an end to the flesh eating equines.
9. Girdle of Hippolyte:
Heracles' Ninth Labor took him to the land of the Amazonian women, a fierce race of all-female warriors, whom had perfected the art of fighting on horseback.
Hippolyte was the Queen of the Amazons and Heracles' objective was to steal the golden girdle she wore around her waist.
Heracles, having anticipated opposition, recruited a posse to fight alongside him in his quest to obtain the girdle.
But instead of meeting a hostile opposition, Hippolyte fell in love with Heracles at first sight.
She gave him her girdle of her own free will.
All went well, until Hera, dissatisfied with developments, stirred up the Amazons by spreading a rumor among them that Heracles was really there to kidnap their Queen.
At the same time, one of Heracles' companions, Theseus, fell in love with Hippolyte's sister, Antiope, and spirited her away on horseback.
This caused a great battle, but Heracles was victorious and escaped with the girdle, as did Theseus with Antiope.
10. Cows of Geryon:
Geryon was a formidable Titan who inhabited a small island in Hesperides.
Geryon was a strange mass of three bodies meshed into one.
He had six arms, three heads and two legs, making him a staunch opponent.
Geryon lived alone on his island, with only a herd of cattle and a two-headed dog, Orthrus, whom was the brother of Cerberus.
As Heracles made his way to the island of Geryon, he had to face the blinding heat of the Libyan desert.
He made his way across the sweltering sands, but became so frustrated with the sizzling heat of the sun, that he proceeded to shoot his poisoned arrows at Helios, the Sun God.
Helios begged him to cease and Heracles demanded the golden cup that Helios used to sail across the daytime sky.
Helios relented and Heracles sailed across the desert and ocean with ease, until he reached the island of Geryon.
When he reached the island, he was met with the intimidating presence of Orthrus.
But not to be deterred, he took his olive wood club and struck the hound dead.
When Geryon came to see what all the fuss was about, Heracles shot him with a poisoned arrow.
Heracles was such a strong marksmen, that his arrow pierced the three bodies of the Titan clean through.
Geryon staggered, fell and rose no more.
Heracles then proceeded to herd the cattle back to Eurystheus.
But Hera was determined to make this as hard as possible, so peeved was she with the continued victory of the hero.
Hera sent a gadfly to sting the cattle, so that they scattered in different directions.
It took Heracles over a year to round them all up.
As Heracles and his cattle reached a river crossing, Hera made the water rise until the river was unpassable.
Heracles then set about piling up stones, to build a crossing for the cows.
He eventually made it back to the court of Eurystheus and the cattle were sacrificed to Hera.
11. Apples of Hesperides:
The Hesperides were a trio of nymphs, who tended a beautiful orchard in a far western corner of the world.
The orchard grew apple trees, of which bore golden apples that were capable of bestowing immortality upon those who ate of them.
The apple trees grew from the branches that were given as a wedding gift to Hera, from Gaia, when she was married to Zeus.
As well as the nymph guardians, whom Hera didn't fully trust, (they were known to partake of the golden fruit themselves), Hera had placed a hundred-headed dragon that never slept, among the trees.
The garden was so well hidden, that Heracles had no idea of its location, until he caught the Sea God, Nereus, who pointed the way.
When he reached the garden, he came upon the Titan Atlas, father of the Hesperides.
Atlas is charged with holding up the sky, and Heracles tricked him into retrieving the apples for him, in exchange for holding up Atlas' burden.
Being the Father of the Nymphs, Atlas was free to pass through the orchard unmolested.
When Atlas emerged from the orchard, his arms laden with the golden apples, he decided he did not want to take the weight of the heavens back, offering instead to deliver the apples himself.
Again, Heracles tricked him, asking the Titan to take back the great weight, so as he could make himself more comfortable.
When Atlas again took up the heavens, Heracles picked up the apples and walked away, leaving Atlas to his burden.
12. Cerberus:
Cerberus was the fearsome three-headed hound of Hades, God of The Underworld.
Cerberus guarded the gates of The Underworld, preventing the living from entering and the dead from leaving.
Heracles' Twelfth and final Labor, was to capture this mighty hound.
His weapon this time around was kindness.
But first, Heracles had to learn how to pass into the Underworld.
He had himself initiated into the Eleusinian Mysteries, to learn the methods and mysteries of entering The Underworld.
Yet, it was only with the help of Hermes, who passed in and out of The Underworld regularly, that Heracles was able to negotiate his way to the lair of Cerberus.
Hermes aided Heracles in locating an entranceway and then helped him catch a ride with Charon, the Boatman, across the rivers of Styx and Acheron and into the domain of Hades and Persephone.
When Heracles arrived he threw himself before the thrones of Hades and Persephone, King and Queen, and told them of his penance.
When he gave his word that Cerberus would not be harmed, the royal pair gave their consent, allowing Heracles to lead Cerberus back to the surface.
Heracles returned to the gateway and won over the guard dog, by lavishing him with affection, (and probably a few cakes, a favorite of Cerberus).
He then led the dog back to the surface and to the palace of Eurystheus.
When he arrived, Eurystheus was so terrified by the site of the mighty Cerberus, that he hid himself inside a large stone jar and refused to come out.
As Cerberus walked the earth, his spittle fell to the ground, from which grew the first poisonous plant, aconite.
Heracles returned the dog back to his master, and with which, he had finally completed his long labors and achieved his own redemption.
It is even said that, upon completion of his tasks, Hera forgave him and blessed him with immortality, giving him his rightful place as a Demigod.

Good morning...it's 6:20am here. UGHHHHH. So, Sebastian some how (don't ask me how) broke my laptops power cord and now my laptop can't charge therefore doesn't work! There is always something. Who knows when I will get the extra time this week to go out and find a new cord. Until then I am going to have to wake up early (like today) and post little bits on Bobby's laptop.
Talk to you soon :)

The Caroline and H. McCoy Jones Department of Textile Arts contains more than 13,000 textiles and costumes from traditions around the world. A remarkable range of techniques is represented, including loom-woven textiles; nonwoven fabrics, such as bark cloth, felt, and knitting; and objects embellished with beading and embroidery.
Highlights from the collection include extraordinary Turkmen carpets, rare 12th- through 15th-century Central Asian and North Indian silks, the most important group of Anatolian kilims outside Turkey, European tapestries, exquisite ecclesiastical textiles, and contemporary Bay Area fiber art. Since the 1930s the de Young has been known for its 20th-century couture, particularly from the post–World War II era, with outstanding pieces by Cristóbal Balenciaga, Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Madame Grés, and Yves Saint Laurent.
With holdings that span nearly three millennia and represent cultures from 125 countries, the textile arts collection enables the Museums to draw connections across cultures and enrich other areas of the permanent collection. Throughout the year the Lonna and Marshall Wais and Diana Dollar Knowles and Gorham B. Knowles costume and textile arts gallery hosts several exhibitions, featuring the diverse range of these collections, as well as important traveling exhibitions.
In addition to the larger rotating textiles presentations in the main gallery, the T. B. Walker Family Education Gallery houses small, didactic displays and contains study drawers illustrating representative pieces from the entire collection, highlighting different textile techniques. The

Hi, I bought a hammock from you about a year ago and it has replaced my bed as it is so comfortable. I got one recently for my dad as a gift also. It arrived only 3 days after I ordered it. I really expected to wait a week. I just wanted you to know I am very happy with my purchases and your service. Please keep up the great work!Leisl T
We purchased these as our 'beds' when our family lived in Mexico for 10 months as it was far cheaper than buying beds and bedding for 5 people. We found them so comfortable to sleep in that over 2 years later we are living in the USA and are still sleeping in them in preference to beds. We are just now purchasing a couple of replacement hammocks but the others are still going strong. Great quality, we recommended them!David Robert Freitag
So I will preface this by saying that this is my first hammock. So about a year ago I decided I would up and convert to sleeping in a hammock full time. I did a lot of research and everyone suggested hammocks rada for a mayan style hammock which they said was best for full time sleeping in Florida. I bought the matrimonial hammock and have to say that I have been extremely pleased with it. The build quality is absolutely fantastic. I have been sleeping in this hammock for almost exactly a year now and it is still almost like new. probably 1 or 2 of the strings have broken at this point though it is still completely sleep-able. It makes a great chair if you sit in it long ways. I will probably be buying a new one at some point soon mostly because I want something just a tad bit shorter. It will be easier to buy a shorter hammock than to re mount it to my walls. Though I would say that this one is perfectly sized for a single large man (I'm 5' 10" 198lbs) or a very let me stress very close couple. I highly recommend this hammock and would love to thank the amazing people at hammocksrada for the hard manual work they must put into making these.
The law criminalises any acts that trigger religious hatred and/or insult religion through any form of expression, which covers speech and the written word, books, pamphlets or online media. The law prohibits any act that would be considered as insulting God, his prophets or apostles or holy books or houses of worship or graveyards.
The law prohibits any entity or group established specifically to provoke religious hatred and recommends stringent punishments for groups or supporters of any organisations or individuals that are associated with hate crimes.
It also bars any kind of events such as conferences and meetings within the UAE, which are organised with the sole purpose of sowing seeds of discrimination, discord or hatred against individuals or groups.
Receiving financial support for such activities is also punishable under the new law.
The law encourages anyone involved in any activity that violates the law to submit themselves voluntarily before the authorities and has provisions allowing the courts to waive penalties in such cases.
International Institute for Tolerance
Aiming to promote the culture of tolerance regionally and globally, the UAE Government of Dubai has launched the International Institute for Tolerance as per local Law No 9 of 2017 . The step seeks to provide solutions to the challenges of extremism and promote the UAE as a role model for tolerance.
The law also launches the Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Tolerance Award which seeks to honour the efforts of those who contribute in spreading the culture of tolerance in the societies.
The institute is open to scholars and tolerance advocates who wish to work towards establishing a culture of tolerance and openness in our societies and against all forms of discrimination among people, based on religion, gender, race, colour or language.
The institute will encourage open dialogue and highlight the honest and peaceful essence of Islam against extremism, fanaticism and intellectual repression. It will propose policies, legislations and initiatives to entrench the values of tolerance and co-existence and create an environment that is conducive to social and cultural harmony.
In December 2012, H. H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan , Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation launched Hedayah (Arabic for guidance) the new name of the International Centre for Excellence in countering violent extremism, in Abu Dhabi.

It's crazy to think I've officially been living in Hong Kong for 6 months! I've been able to try out my fair share of restaurants in that time, and since I'm always getting direct messages on Instagram asking about where to eat in Hong Kong, I've finally pulled together a list of my favorite restaurants. I'm careful to not call this a definitive "best restaurants in Hong Kong" list since there are so many places I still have to try from my own hit list. But hopefully this still serves as a good guide to exploring Hong Kong's dining scene, whether it's your first time or 5th!

Walking down the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator, it's hard to miss the big, bright red and yellow neon star hanging from the window of Pho Up , a brand new restaurant in Hong Kong's SoHo District that comes from the same team as the beloved bar 65 Peel. The star is appropriate given the restaurant's prime location on Hollywood Road, but it also represents the flag of Vietnam where the majority of the menu dishes come from.

Located underneath Cali-Mex Taqueria in Hong Kong's bustling Lan Kwai Fong nightlife district, Los Sotano is a speakeasy style lounge serving up Mexican fare and a wide selection of mezcal and tequila. What looks like a giant tequila barrel against an alley wall is actually the entrance – just push and the door reveals itself. The swanky bar area features an Instagram-worthy neon sign that says "Tequila Makes My Clothes Come Off" (which is also the name of one of their tasty margaritas) with lounge chairs and small tables, while the other section features velvet booths surrounding larger tables with built-in Asahi taps so you can pour your own beer and pay by volume.

Standing in that windowsill, I felt like I was watching the heart of downtown Manhattan beating. Looking straight ahead, the blurred reflections of passing clouds and buildings appeared on the mirrored facade of One World Trade Center. To the left and in between the skyscrapers of Brookfield Place were ferries cruising down the Hudson River, across to the waterfront plazas of New Jersey where many commuted in from. Shifting my gaze down, small silhouettes of people walked through the tree-lined paths surrounding the September 11 Memorial Pools. Down further, the white spires of the Oculus pierced though the sky like a skeleton exploding. All of this, right in front of my eyes from my hotel room inside the Millennium Hilton New York Downtown .

Welcome to Smart Marketing Tribe with "Five Affiliate Marketing Mistakes to Avoid." I wish there was a "Ten Commandments of Affiliate Marketing," and everyone that decided to use this business opportunity had to swear by these rules. But then again, if everyone did it right, then it would make it extremely challenging to become a top earner. I want you to be a success from the start, so I have compiled a list of sins made by most online affiliate marketing. Be sure to do the opposite and you will build a better business.
First: Promoting a product you never used. I have very little tolerance for people who try and sell me things they don't use themselves. It's unethical. You probably have watched a video presentation from a novelty consultant that doesn't use toys, or read a book on a subject where the author never was entered into the business. If you have no idea how good the product is, how can you effectively promote it? You should know the quality of your products.
Two: Not providing real value. Stop sending people the link to your website or product. They didn't ask for it and really don't care how much money you need to make. People only care about themselves. And if they are going to depart with their hard-earned cash, then you need to provide value first.
Three: Not building a list. The money is in the list. This is probably the biggest mistake affiliate marketers make. If you're not building a list from the very beginning, then each visitor that leaves your page without buying from you is a wasted opportunity. Always offer them something of value as appreciation.
Four: Lack of an edge. There are thousands of affiliates promoting different products. Why should the customer choose your store? Find a customer segment that is buying products, and find a way to tailor your message to this group. Learn their behaviours, taste and habits.
Five: No original content. This brings me back to writing about products you know nothing about. If you have no interest in the products you're promoting, then your articles will show this, because you cannot write from experience.
I hope you get the idea. Please feel free to comment if you have avoided any affiliate marketing mistakes in your business.

100 Environmental/Clean Energy Groups Submit Comments in Opposition to Senate Energy Committee Draft Radioactive Waste Legislation
WASHINGTON - 100 national, regional and local environmental and clean energy organizations today submitted comments in stark opposition to draft discussion legislation on high-level radioactive waste put forth by four members of the Senate Energy Committee.
"This draft legislation is extremely disappointing," said Michael Mariotte, executive director of Nuclear Information and Resource Service, which coordinated the comments. "It simply attempts to revive rejected policies of the past while moving our nation no closer to a permanent solution for radioactive waste disposal than we are today. In particular, its misguided emphasis on 'consolidated interim storage' would result in the mass transportation of lethal nuclear waste over our roads, rails and seaways while not reducing the number of existing waste storage sites—which is every nuclear reactor site. Moreover, unlike previous Senate proposals, this one would effectively break the linkage between an "interim" site and progress on a permanent solution and thus place any kind of permanent repository even further into the future than it is now."
Added Allison Fisher of Public Citizen, one of the lead authors of the letter, "After 30 years of failed nuclear waste policy, our decision-makers have a chance to get it right. But including a plan to shuttle our country's stockpile of nuclear waste to temporary storage sites is the wrong move. Any new nuclear waste policy must focus on a permanent solution, not a temporary fix. We are calling on the discussion draft sponsors to keep interim storage out of the final nuclear waste bill."
The groups urged the Committee to make removing the waste from fuel pools at reactor sites a top priority. But that doesn't mean the waste need begin a risky transport regimen. As an alternative, the groups supported Hardened On-Site Storage of radioactive waste while a permanent solution is pursued. The principles of this concept, endorsed by more than 200 organizations, are detailed here: http://www.nirs.org/radwaste/policy/hossprinciples3232010.pdf.
The comments pointed out that consolidated interim storage would not lead to a decrease in the number of sites storing radioactive waste, since as long as nuclear reactors generate waste it must be placed in pools for about five years to cool down; that such storage could "de-incentivize and adversely impact progress of the nation's efforts toward a viable permanent solution," and that "interim" sites could easily become de facto—and unsuitable—permanent sites.
As the comments stated, "The first objective of any strategy to manage our country's stockpile of nuclear waste must be safe and secure storage and minimizing the number of times radioactive waste is handled and transported. The proposal to move nuclear waste to one or more consolidated waste storage facilities does not meet this objective. In addition the proposal does not address broader storage and disposal issues. Adopting a plan to move waste around the country without linkage to permanent disposal would be inequitable."
"There are some other areas where the draft legislation considers some important issues; for example creation of a new agency to address radioactive waste and the important issue of determining community consent for siting of a radioactive waste facility." said Mary Olson of NIRS Southeast, another lead author of the letter. "But the Committee needs to start over and drop the idea of temporary consolidated storage sites before these issues can be meaningfully addressed."
Groups signing the comments included national organizations like Sierra Club, Greenpeace and Clean Water Action as well as regional and local groups from 33 states.
The full text of the groups' comments and list of all the signers is available here: http://www.nirs.org/radwaste/hlwtransport/groupsignoncommentwyden52413.pdf

A region is defined by the people who live there, for instance Bombay is to Bollywood, Los Angeles is to Hollywood. Likewise, Nanded is to Takht. Not everyone is aware of Takht.
It means a throne of historic growth of Sikh religion. There are 5 Takhts holding utmost importance in the Sikh community. And one of the five Takhts is situated in Nanded, making it an age old Sikh pilgrimage destination with a plethora of Gurudwaras.
One of the most distinct Gurudwara is Sach Khand Huzur Sahib Gurudwara, located on the banks of Godavari River this place beholds spiritual elements since Guru Govind Singh, the tenth Guru of Sikhism, as his ashes were buried here.
Guru Gobind Singh, made Nanded his permanent abode and handed over the Guruship to Guru Granth Saheb just before his demise.
Thus, making it the city of Gurudwaras, the city of Divine prayers and worship!

You motivate me and make me feel like anything is possible!
I wanted to be healthy and not have any more reasons to be mean to myself!
I have always been overweight and have had fluctuations in my weight (losing weight the unhealthy ways) and I wanted to earn it this time!
Working with you has been a great experience.
You motivate me and you make me feel like anything is possible!
You're very sweet and I NEVER feel like I'm going to get in "trouble" if I don't reach my goal (which only happens about once a month, LOL). I am so very grateful for this experience.
— After 30 years of health problems, I'm losing weight!
"When I met Susan, little did I know of her personal strength, let alone talent! Taking my complicated health issues to her, she simply said, "We are going to fix this, girlfriend!" She meant it! We are fixing it! A nutritional artist, she works with the subtle effects of food. Once a week, she creatively adjusts types and amounts of food, exercise, and recipes. We work together to design weight control and exercise routines.
Closely working with my doctor, she has stabilized my intensely hypoglycemic metabolism and minimized migraines.
After 30 years of health problems, I no longer feel the constant underlying exhaustion or experience intense episodic illness. Currently, I am losing weight in a healthy way, at a healthy rate. Susan's unique insight and compassionate guidance has been a true blessing!"

"YES! Susan helped me lose 120 pounds!
After being a type 2 diabetic for twelve years, my doctor deemed me a "recovered diabetic".
My A1C was in the five range and I was taken off all diabetic and blood pressure meds!
Susan is the most genuine, compassionate, and caring person anyone could ask for to guide them on the path to health and fitness. She is extremely knowledgeable and savvy and can lead any willing individual to weight loss success!"
– – – Susan Way has been an
"Susan Way has been an integral part of my children's education with respect to leading a healthy lifestyle.
Like most single parents I'm pressed for time and bombarded with fast food choices and cartoon character led sugar filled snacks. My children often struggle with making healthy choices, especially when confronted with other adults offering them
sweets as 'rewards' and claiming that I should not worry because my kids will 'grow out of it'.
Susan has helped us establish boundaries while at the same time helped me better educate my children with regard to the choices that they make.
My son has recently cut out nearly all soda pop in favor of water or other healthier choices thanks in part to information that Susan provided demonstrating the toxic effects of long-term exposure to the high amounts of sugar and other ingredients found in these beverages. Susan has also made living a healthier lifestyle more fun for my children.
When at the grocery store we routinely play the color game. One of my children will choose a color at random and then, as a family, we set out to find items of that color in the store from which we can create both a healthy and tasty meal.
Last, but not least, Susan has been a source of encouragement for my own physical training that has resulted in outstanding strength gains while significantly lowering my body fat percentage. For the 5 years that I've known Susan, I can clearly say that I am in the best shape of my life thanks in no small part to her assistance and persistence in wanting to see me achieve the best results I can."
—– I lost 85% of my weight while I live 400 miles away.
" Susan can transform ya!
Well, in all honesty, she can help YOU transform YOURSELF, one pound at a time.
She made me realize that anything was possible. When I began my journey she was there every step of the way! If you are worried because you don't live close by, well worry no more because
I lost 85% of my weight while I live 400 miles away.
Stick to the program…,
_____I first met Susan Way
I first met Susan Way approximately 4 years ago ….
At that time, I had no idea what weight management was all about…. Susan asked numerous questions,…. my response at the time was to get healthy and lose weight.
I was skeptical about the process, however, ….. I listened to her and did everything she instructed me to do…. she kept me motivated to the point where I had lost a total of 54 pounds!
Susan's way is the right way!
Trust her in your quest to lose weight and get healthy. She is an honest person who cares about the health of you and your children, she is driven to fight obesity….
Go the distance with Susan Way!
"I am seriously a new man after working to eat better and as Susan said, "get off the couch!".
I think the most important aspect of my whole process over a year and a half was learning the ways
I could live healthier without giving up everything I loved.
I lost 34.5 pounds and have kept it off for almost 8 years!
Susan has a "Way" about her…HA!… that is truly motivating even as she "scared me" at first!
She will, very soon into the process, let you know through experience and compassion that she
doesn't play around but will genuinely care and concentrate on what you need to help you succeed.
I am grateful and have been for years, as is my family."
– – – Susan is the REAL DEAL.
" Susan is the REAL DEAL. She truly is compassionate and obviously has the
experience and ability to help anyone manage their weight. She goes the extra mile
and understands weight management issues. Susan's Healthy Way is the true path to
PERMANENT weight loss and maintenance.
She will educate you, feel your pain and make you reach your goal!
Don't miss this opportunity.
Call her RIGHT NOW!"

There's nothing more exhilarating for a guitarist than taking center stage and fronting a power trio. Witness the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Clapton and so many other masters of this genre. It's also a lot more challenging than it looks and that's the premise for Kelly Richey's Power Trio course, which focuses on the key elements, creative approaches and techniques that define the genre.
"We're going to focus on the essential techniques and specific elements that are used when playing guitar in a blues-rock power trio. We'll look at rhythm and lead guitar techniques and how they overlap, working together seamlessly to create a powerful wall of sound. I'll also focus on the importance of creating musical 'holes', the power of creating space and how to work with a drummer and bass player to create a unique sound that best supports your guitar style."
Kelly organized this course into four sections. In the first section, Kelly overviews the history of Blues-Rock Power Trios and some of the key players of the genre. Kelly also runs down the most common gear and tone considerations you'll need to dial in to get that signature power trio blues-rock sound.
"We'll look at how to design the right guitar rig to support your unique style. You'll learn about guitar tone, effects, amplifiers and speaker configuration - all the things critical for you to have sustain, texture and articulation to support your signature power trio sound."
In the second section, Kelly guides you through a series of essential rhythm techniques. She'll show you the go-to chord voicings, a variety of ways to embellish your chords and some riff based approaches that weave rhythm and lead playing together.
In the third section, you'll focus on soloing techniques. Kelly shares tips and tricks for animating your pentatonic scales with punctuation, articulation and dynamics. Kelly also demonstrates how to incorporate bends and vibrato to bring each note to life.
"We'll work on approaches for playing lead guitar in a power trio setting. You'll learn essential soloing techniques that reveal how to build a bridge between lead and rhythm guitar, leverage dynamics and create the musical 'holes' necessary to fully connect with a rhythm section."
In the final section, you'll apply everything that you learned in the previous sections as you play your way through four Performance Studies in a variety of keys and feels: Love, Whole Lotta Love, You Wanna Rock and Blues Rock Haze.
Kelly demonstrates all of the Performance Studies over rhythm tracks and then breaks them down by stepping you through the key concepts and techniques employed in the performance.
All of the key examples and Performance Studies are tabbed and notated for your practice, reference and study purposes. You'll also get Guitar Pro files so that you can loop and/or slow any section down as you work through the lessons. Plus, Kelly generously includes all of the rhythm tracks for you to work with on your own.
So grab your guitar and let's power up with Kelly Richey!
Kelly Richey is one of the hardest working independent musicians out there; to date logging an extraordinary 1,000,000 miles touring, and at one point in her 30-year professional career, gigging a grueling 275 days out of the year. Richey has toured in the USA, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Born in Lexington, Kentucky but now based in Cincinnati, Richey started playing guitar at the age of 15. Today, a staggering 4,000 gigs later, she more than earns the title of master guitarist and singer/songwriter. She has been described as "Stevie Ray Vaughan trapped in a woman's body with Janis Joplin screaming to get out". She has been listed as among the top 100 gifted guitarists by the Truefire Community in 2011, and frequently draws comparisons to blues guitar icons Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Richey has shared the stage with such legends as Lonnie Mack and Albert King, and has opened for Joe Cocker, Lita Ford, Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter, Walter Trout, Little Feat, Foghat, REO Speedwagon, George Thorogood, Average White Band, Robben Ford, Warren Zevon, and James Brown. Richey has fronted her blues/rock power trio, The Kelly Richey Band since the early 1990's, and she also performs an intense, dazzling solo show incorporating electric and acoustic guitar, looping, beats, electronic sound synthesis, and some of her more personal acoustic material.
