The wait for the U.S. Department of Education's unrestricted contract drags on. Kaulkin Ginsberg speculated in a recent blog that ED would make awards at the end of their fiscal year on September 30th, but that day came and went without any updates.
However, just last week ED announced they now intend to grant contracts by the end of calendar year 2016, extending this announcement window through December.
Mike Ginsberg recently had a candid and insightful conversation about the procurement process with expert Randy Kamm, principal at Collection Quotient Consulting. This podcast sheds light on why ED is delaying their decision, what participants can expect, and how this three-year wait will impact the ARM industry.
This podcast is a product of KG Prime, Kaulkin Ginsberg's market intelligence service. For more information about how your company can access timely ARM research to help you make decisions about growth, please contact us at email@example.com. To contact Randy Kamm with any questions about this contract, please email him at email@example.com.

The first, called "BootApp" is called from MS Access via COM. Works as it should. The second, called "PrintEngine" is referenced by "BootApp" as an .NET assembly DLL (signed). This also works - on the developer PC. But if this constellation is to work on another PC, the "PrintEngine.dll" has to reside in the MS Access folder (Access is the running application in terms that the PrintEngine App.config has to be in that MS Access folder also). Or else I get runtime errors like "type initializer failed...blabla...could not find referenced assembly...". But leaving some dll's in the MS Access folder is very ugly solution. I guess I could place the DLL's in GAC, but isnt there a way to specify where these DLL's reside? So that I could reference like "c:\assemblies\printEngine.dll" on other PC's? Hope you get my meaning here

Justin Bieber compliments Harry Styles new album!
Harry Styles recently dropped his new album and it's seriously what I can hear being played on beach parties and BBQs all summer.
The highly anticipated album debut was wroth the wait because the jams are flawless. The tracks are mostly about women and kind of remind me of those good oldies but goodies but Harry Styles literally puts his own modern touch on each track.
I may not be a music critic but I especially loved "Carolina."
[ Harry Styles talks his solo album and a very unique monument made by fans! ]
The album has been getting some excellent reviews but the one that probably matters to you right now is what Justin Bieber had to say about Harry Styles new album on Instagram. He wrote:
"@JustinBieber Just watched Harry styles carpool karaoke!! Hilarious! Also congrats on the album, it sounds great !"
Have you heard Harry Styles new album? Let us know what your favorite song was in the comments below! And don't forget to check out his carpool karaoke because it was in fact, "hilarious." James Corden never fails.
Blessed be.

Have you ever looked at something and thought that it looked cheaply-made only to be blown away by the high price? On that note, I give you the Marantz CR101 CD Player.
This think looks like it might have been considered "futuristic" sometime back in the 90's. Today it just looks cheesy. Don't worry, it's packed with a ton of awesome features right? You bet your ass it does. Not only does this thing play CDs, it can also play FM and AM radio broadcasts. I've been saying it for a long time AM radio is the future!
Aside from the backlit LCD screen, there's really not much to be seen. It's plain, it's boring and it is expensive. This little guy will set you back around $331.

Couples tie the knot on auspicious 'double nine'
The Star Online
of Saturday September 10, 2005
NUPTIAL TIME: Lim Kok and his wife Ng Kim Hooi (in trisha at left) together with Ng Hui Ching and hubby Beh Soon Ni in the right trisha leading 20 others couples into the Che Hoon Khor Moral Uplifting hall in George Town for the mass wedding Friday.
Lim Eng Seong and Lim Kooi Hong whose birthdays fall on Sept 9 married their sweethearts yesterday.
They were among 45 couples who tied the knot in a mass registration held at the Penang Chinese Town Hall.
Sept 9 is a good date to get married, said businessman Eng Seong and his wife, sales personnel Wong Swee Pheng, because in Mandarin "double nine" denotes "eternity".
"From now, Sept 9 will be a double celebration," said the couple, both 34.
Engineer Kooi Hong, 26, and his wife, accounts assistant Lim Chiew Ling, 25, said they would hold their traditional Chinese wedding after the completion of their house in 2007.
Meanwhile, 22 couples were married at the Che Hoon Khor Moral Uplifting Society.
In Ipoh, 19 couples were married at a mass wedding ceremony at the Ipoh Chin Woo Association yesterday.
One couple - Loh Chee Wyai and Choo Mee Lian, both 24 - share the same birth date and went to the same kindergarten in Menglembu.
However, they did not know each other until they met on the same flight to Kuching four years ago.

The holidays are quickly approaching. I am never ready. I blame it on the weather. Our weather gives us no hint the season is approaching. I am not complaining, just trying to explain my being out of sync. It was in the upper 80s today so I never think turkey or any of the fall/winter dishes until it is upon us, and then I am scrambling to get ready. But, this year I thought I would be a little more proactive and see if I could come up with a few appetizers to get the holidays going. I wanted them to be easy, but homemade. I was researching appetizers, when I came across Devils On Horseback. What the heck are those? More research….. I see that originally they are bacon-wrapped prunes, but while I like prunes I could not see myself feeding my guest prunes. If they have issues that would be their business…..
After a copious amount of research I found Martha Stewart's version. Martha used dates. I love dates. I think they are nature's candy.
Martha stuffed these little devils with Stilton cheese. I decided I would use Feta. I like the saltiness to counterbalance the sweetness of the date.
I feel a little irreverent saying this, but Martha said to wrap them in bacon and cook for 20 to 25 minutes. I was concerned about the bacon grease, and I did not want the cheese to cook that long so I took the liberty of baking the bacon until almost completely done, but still pliable.
I drained it well on paper towels and blotted as well, then wrapped it around the cheese stuffed date. Place them in the oven until heated, took them out of the oven and blotted one more time before I placed them on a serving tray.
So I have one hors d'oeuvre that is salty, sweet, creamy, and crispy all in one appetizer. Since I still have a couple weeks, back to my research to see what else I can make.
A word of caution, these Devils on Horseback are good warm, but be careful of the hot cheese.
- 24 large dates, pitted
- 12 slices bacon, halved crosswise
- ⅓ cup cubed Feta or Stilton cheese
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- On parchment precook the bacon until done, but still pliable. Time depends on the thickness.
- Place 24 toothpicks in a small bowl filled with water; let soak 15 minutes.
- Make a slit in the dates lengthwise; remove the seed. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff a cube of cheese in the pocket of each date.
- Wrap a piece of the precooked bacon around each date.
- Secure bacon with a toothpick.
- Place dates on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until bacon is heated through.
- Blot on a paper towel, and then place on a serving try.

Europe to get Nokia Lumia 920 and 820 in November? Price leaked?
European telecom operators tell Reuters that the Lumia 920 and 820 will go on sale in November. However, other sources indicate a mid-October release for the Lumia 920 with the 820 to follow shortly thereafter. The price of the Nokia Lumia 920 is expected to be €600 ($758 or £476). The Lumia 820 will debut with a price of about €450 ($568 or £357). This pricing puts the devices in the same realm as their competitors, such as the Samsung Galaxy S III, which sells for about €580.
If Nokia is able to keep that schedule, their new offerings will be well in place for the holiday shopping season. Such timing does not help Nokia's position given the elephant in the room – sales of Apple's new iPhone will likely be well underway by then. Samsung's sales are strong as well, and they have a new Windows Phone 8 device coming to market. Further hurting Nokia from a financial standpoint is that demand for the Lumia 900 will probably grind to a halt now that people will want to wait for the new devices. A November release would mean a two month dead-zone of sales crossing two fiscal quarters.
It is not all doom and gloom for Nokia though. The Lumia series have attractive designs, and the camera on the Lumia 920 looks like it is top notch. Add in some of the unique features that Nokia brings to their device line-up as well as a Nokia-centric program which helps a user make the switch to Windows Phone, and the new Lumias are definitely solid contenders. Nevertheless, it is pretty clear that the Lumia 920 and 820 are facing very strong competition in a ever more crowded market. Are the new Lumias going to be winners? We think so.

Well, I don't think so.
Winners compared to Lumia 900 yes, but against galaxy and iphone sales, it can't win.
I put a bet that even the Note 2 will sell much more than Lumia 920.
Who's on?

Entire Lumia sales were 7 million in 8 months while galaxy s III alone sold 10 million in 2months. The only reason to buy new lumia is because of its camera. But still €600 is very high...As usual Nokia pricing strategy...after one year, lumia 920 will be available for €300 or even less. Remember N98. My friend bought it for $700 and after an year or so, the price was $320
12. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
It also sold 20 millions in 100 days.
Three times better than S2, in comparison

33. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
True, but a bad phone certainly won't sell as many units as a good phone. I think the consensus is that the OG Lumias were underwhelming compared to their competition in either the Android or iOS segments.
8. redmd (Posts: 1590; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
that's just an unfair comparison. Note 2 surely wins.
11. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
i think i wont put a thumb on you!
however, i think if the pricing is true, the 920 wont sell hot like s3 did... maybe that time samsung will cut down the price of s3...
20 euros difference is still big!! and the "ecosystem" matters and WP8 will still catch up on android...
so if they will again do the strategy of lumia 900 to US market it will sure boom!!! even they a lot of us think that WP is really as good as android.. consumers might not like it coz its pricy..so cheaper attempt will be a good strategy...

I am with you on GN II... And here is why.
We all know about the fake video but did you know guys about the fake photos of this new lumia 920. Click on the link below and see how nokia is so fake. no wounder why there stock got beaten so bad.

gnote 2 will win for sure! But if nokia will promote n9 in the past months and support it i will bet in the n9
23. Angkor (Posts: 108; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Nokia can't win Samsung with all in-house components, Samsung can make a new phone in 2 months it will take Nokia 6 months to look for components, assemble and test.
27. jan25 (Posts: 470; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
by November, we'll be starting to get hyped up for the next Nexus along with the release of the Note 2 and may be a new HTC flagship with competition cramped by the IPhone 5 and other manufacturers like LG and Moto. i don't see a bright future for the Lumia sorry.
28. No_Nonsense (unregistered)
That's because the Lumia is not an established brand name like the iPhone/Galaxy S (s2,s3 and so on) line and WP is yet to catch up with people. The 920 is a topnotch phone yes, but I'll agree with you on the sales not matching up on the next iPhone/Note 2/S3 and so on. But I'll buy one because that's a great phone.
54. AeroPrime (Posts: 175; Member since: 21 Feb 2011)
I'm not talking rocket science here. Why are you guys so concern of lumia 920 announcing too early.... the number of cores....and other specs.... you commented on this article itself cause you guys are interested... Remember android wasn't popular. I quote "Android has no future", "I don't think is gonna make it". This happens in a cycle. Unbelievers, believers and people just don't give a damn. Why do you guys keep comparing specs with Android quad core phones. WP8 isn't like android phones that requires so many cores just to run smoothly. What happen to engineering factor and efficiency. It seems you guys are not thinking about the efficiency and engineering put on the WP8. You are comparing a car with large engine that produce so little horsepower to a car with smaller engine but produce twice as much power and much more energy efficient. It's not about the cores in the device ... is how device handle that power and optimize for efficiency to make it more reliable and more economical.
2. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
I believe It needs to be prized lower than the SGS3/HTC oneX for it to have a chance to have decent sales, I ain't saying it's a bad phone or it's price wont do justice for a phone of its caliber (coz it does) but for a phone line that is still poorly accepted globally they should price it competitively, IMHO.
4. StreetNerd (Posts: 851; Member since: 08 Dec 2010)
true story, somehow Nokia doesnt understand that.... =(
but they will slash the price like they did with Lumia 800.
Lumia 800 launch: okt/nov 2011
jan 2012 is got it for free on 1 year contract (4x24euros+8x48euros)
29. Jeromeo (Posts: 135; Member since: 11 Jan 2010)
The Lumia900 went from $99 to free in a matter of months in the states.
Design is simply not as important as ecosystem! All models of the iPhone have looked nearly identical since it launched, but people still clamor over the new model.
Don't charge $758 for the 32gig model if the iPhone is $699 for its 64gig model...
Don't release a 41MP camera on a dying OS and then tantalize that the next Lumia will be similar (when it's absolutely not)...
Don't release an 8MP camera (btw, you've had the N8 for years) when this year's iPhone is likely to have a higher MP count and some kind of newer (or flashier) gimmick than floating lens...
Don't announce something BEFORE the iPhone announcement (with no carrier deals and only speculative pricing) and launch it AFTER the iPhone launch...
Don't release a dual core phones 6 months after quad core phones were announced and, yet, charge the same price for lesser technology...
Don't make excuses for why clean design denies memory card slots...
Don't build up the awesomeness of 'floating lens PureView technology' and then mention that 'oh, btw, the other model we've announced today doesn't have it'...
Don't announce a phone and then wait 3 months to release it...
They're checking to see who has the higher MegaPixel, sure, but they really wanna know who has the same number of apps that their friends have, who has the best price number for what you get, who has a higher number of "new" ideas (like iCloud and iSiri for example), and who has the same number of things I've come to expect on devices (because I've seen so many in the stores).
How many times can Nokia get punched in the stomach before it gets the message?

i know right!! it should be lower than those devices!!!
coz what if s3 and oneX cut down the price on christmas? do you think people will buy a smartphone with an OS that still play catch up in terms of ecosystems?!
consumers follow the trend... so nokia should market 920/820 or any other lumia devices that they are prepping in right!
s3 selling point is its quad core and a lot of goodies that most of the people will be satisfied like expandable memory, removable battery, slim, huge screen, bold and bright!
while 920 is a very compact and stylish yet very heavy (but i dont care, i like heavy phones coz i think its very sturdy and knowing nokia, it is sturdy coz 900 is really sturdy, the son of 3310) and no expandable memory and removable battery (no removable battery is ok but still hoping to have expandable memory or choices of memory like the iPhone and s3--it has 16/32/64) but the greatest camera on a WP yet....
but 820 should be sold at pricepoint lower than $450!!!
and hope nokia should announce a lower mid range... i hope they announce that nokia "zeal"... i think its a very good phone for people who like cheaper but compact!

You can just size all the tiles to look like your 7.5 home screen. You don't HAVE to clutter it up...

I really think Nokia needs a reboot. Every strategy seems off IMO.
9. onggeo (Posts: 30; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
Wow! I hope the prices aren't true. Those prices ARE TOO DAMN HIGH! lol I think the price of the 920 should be around the same as the SIII or even lower while the 820 should be around $400-$450 to be competitive.

Lol at the red thumbs.
Windows phone fans are kind of creepy.
They were the same when Lumia 900 was releasing with wp 7.5
Just thumbing down on all that were saying anything against it, and rationally
predicted a massive flop, considering the price and the marketing campaign.

hahaha true true, but that's not limited to WP fans. Android and iOS fans also go on every article that discusses their OSes and try to thumbs down every anti-Android/iOS :))

Well the Canon EOS M is out of the bag. Canon did a great job plugging leaks — until three days before the official announcement day on July 23, 2012. You'll get all the juicy news, analyses, first hands-on reviews and preorder information right here on THEME. Canon usually know what they're doing. And so will we, very soon.
+++ Update: For the latest Canon EOS M hands-on reviews and field reports see our dedicated, continuously updated The Canon EOS M Review File.
So what we know so far about EOS M? Nah, they're not aiming at Leica M, but the accidental namesake of the mount is nonetheless interesting. You might not like the boring, all-too-common, very compact, chunky design. Canon chooses the conservative approach. But you get what you need: the bare basics. So there at least you have the Leica analogy. Well M stands for, what else, "mirrorless."
Don't mistake the EOS M for the old EF-M. And you wanted something more classic, retro. Well the Nikon 1 series offerings look sexier in comparison. But it's about what's inside, looks do easily deceive. Most likely it's the T4i's sensor, so expect phase and contrast AF.
Expect an all but confirmed APS-C sized sensor, meaning the Canon EF-M 22mm F2 prime pancake is a 33mm (or 35mm) in full-frame terms. For me the standard 35mm is not really wide enough, so there's a chance we'd be in the territory of something slightly wider as a fast walk-around prime to cover the basics. Might be a killer combo if backed up by the right hardware and software.
Why we know for sure it's an APS-C sensor? That's what the focal length of the standard zoom is telling us.
Et voilà, here are the leaked specs provided by CanonRumors — with a more complete list over at digicam-info.com:
- 18mp APS-C
- ISO 100-12,800 (25,600 Expansion)
- 3″ Touchscreen 1.04 million pixels
- Phase & Contrast AF
- Video Servo AF
- 1920×1080 Video 30p/25p/24p
- 1280×720 Video 60p/50p
- SD Card
- Adaptor at launch for EF lenses
A standard zoom typically covers full-frame equivalent of 28-80mm. So by looking at the actual standard zoom for this camera, we would know the crop factor of the sensor.
18-55mm is for crop factor 1.5-1.6x sensor. That's APS-C. For Micro Four Thirds crop factor is 2x, the standard zoom is 14-40mm. For Nikon 1 with the 1″ sensor it's the 10-30mm.
Initially it looked like Canon will offer at least two first mirrorless models at launch, even though sources say that a more advanced EOS M will only arrive in a few months… so the "leaked" one might cover the entry-level with the plain basics, a.k.a. no built-in flash, no electric viewfinder, no articulating screen, no mode dial. Does everything have to be done via menus?
The leaked model looks not expensive. So most probably it will be cheaper than, say, Olympus', Panasonic's and Sony's offerings. Size? Too big for most pockets. And a mystery is the vertical slider on the upper left front. Anyone?
There will be all the accessories one needs, such as a small flash.
But what to expect from Canon? Too little, too late? As EOSHD analyzes, Canon "really is in dire need of a unique selling point now the RX100 has blown away the mirrorless weeds."

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or any other part of Stargate Atlantis. I'm just borrowing them for a wee bit.
This is set about midway through season two, but most spoilers are for The Storm, The Eye, and The Brotherhood.
This one is for Rogue1503, who provided endless encouragement and ideas to help keep this boat afloat, as well as helped me smooth out some rough spots. Couldn't get far without you, girl.
A little warning: This one has a lot of Sheppard whumping, both mental and physical (I know - big shock), so if you tire of that sort of stuff easily, you might want to hit the back button now. If you don't mind the whumping, then please proceed.
The Day of Reckoning - Chapter One
The minute John Sheppard stepped through the gate, the hair on the back of his neck stood up. He immediately tightened his grip on the P90 as he brought it up and stepped forward. He was aware of the rest of his team coming through the gate behind him as he surveyed the green field before them. A small path wound through the knee high grass and eventually led into the woods at the far side of the field. Sheppard saw no movement as he carefully stepped forward, but that did nothing to ease the crawling sensation in his gut. Behind him, team mates Teyla and Ronon were instantly aware of his unease and also began warily scanning the scene before them, looking for signs of trouble. Rodney McKay, however, seemed totally oblivious of the heightened sense of caution displayed by the others and his voice rang out, sounding almost raucous in the stillness of the scene before them.
"Wow, another one of those story book scenes we've become so accustomed to seeing. How is it that we travel all this way to another galaxy and every planet either looks like the Amazon or the Sahara? Isn't there any diversity in this galaxy? No wonder the Ancients left. They were bored into another galaxy. Where's this trader guy we're supposed to meet? Although I don't know why we bothered. What are the chances that someone like that will have access to a ZPM?"
"McKay," Sheppard hissed without turning around. "Shut up or I will shoot you."
"W...what?" Only then did McKay notice how uneasy his team was. He began fumbling around, trying to draw his gun.
"Sheppard?" inquired Ronon, his eyes still searching the field in front of them.
"Something's not right...It just seems...hincky."
"Hincky?" Ronon looked confused.
"I believe that is an earth term for things not being as they should," interpreted Teyla, recognizing the term as one that had been explained to her before.
"I agree. Something is very definitely...hincky," responded Ronon.
"Okay, let's move out, but slowly and carefully. I'll take point, Ronon - take our six." They made it to the center of the field without any sign of trouble and were just starting to relax, when several soldiers armed with guns rushed out and surrounded them. They quickly formed a circle with their backs toward one another and their weapons aimed at the forces around them.
"Oh, crap!" Sheppard exclaimed.
"Sheppard?" asked Ronon.
McKay looked around to see what Sheppard was talking about and almost dropped his gun. He felt his legs turn to jello and fear rolled through his belly. "Oh, no," he whispered.
Sheppard steeled himself inside for what he knew would be a bad day. "Hey, Kolya...long time no see. How's the shoulder?"
Kolya stood staring at Sheppard, his expression hard and cold. "I see you still have your sense of humor, Major. I'll have to see if I can fix that."
"By the way, it's Lt. Colonel Sheppard these days. Seems I managed to get myself a promotion. How about you, Commander Kolya? Any promotions I should know about? I want to be sure and give you the proper respect."
"Who is this Kolya?" asked Ronon quietly, not liking being at such a disadvantage with a foe the team appeared to know well.
"He was the leader of the Genii force that tried to take over Atlantis during the storm I told you of," responded Teyla.
"Yes, Major...excuse me...Colonel Sheppard and I are old friends, right Colonel?"
"The best. Hey...I seem to remember not killing you the last time we met. And I also remember telling you I wanted points for that in the future." Sheppard was grasping at straws. They were outgunned at least five to one. He wasn't seeing any way for them to walk out of this alive.
"Ah, yes. I remember Colonel. And you shall have your points. You come with us and I will let the rest of your team return to Atlantis unharmed. I think that to be a very good offer, considering the circumstances you find yourself in."
"What do you want with Colonel Sheppard?" demanded Teyla.
"Colonel Sheppard must answer for his crimes against the Genii. You left many families without husbands, fathers, or sons. The loved ones of the men you killed cry out for retribution and I have promised them that they shall have it. One way or another, you are coming with us. I do not find it necessary to kill your team...but I will not hesitate if I have to."
"Oh, puh-lease. You honestly expect us to believe that you'll just let us go if Sheppard goes with you? What kind of idiots do you take us for?" asked McKay. He was scared to death, but they didn't dare let Kolya make off with Sheppard. He knew that was probably a death sentence for the Colonel. McKay did a double take at Sheppard. He could tell by the serious look on the man's face that he was considering it. "Colonel? You aren't thinking about doing this? He'll kill us and then you and then laugh at all of us. You can't do this."
"Shut up McKay. It may be your only chance." He turned back to Kolya. "They keep their weapons all the way through the gate. I want them able to defend themselves in case you turn out to be as trustworthy as I think you are."
Kolya nodded. "I commend you, Colonel, on your acceptance of your inevitable fate. Very well. They keep their weapons...but you give me yours...as an act of good faith."
Sheppard hesitated. Just as Koyla believed he had finally broken this...this...irritation to the Genii nation, Sheppard still had the final say and of course, had to take one more parting shot. "Whatever...may as well get this done. God knows you've taken your time getting around to it. I would have had me on toast way before now if I were you ...But then I'm not...you...am I?"
"Sheppard, don't! We may not win, but we can take out a bunch of them as we go. Don't do this." Ronon tried in vain to convince Sheppard not to turn himself over.
"I do not know you, but it is Sheppard's decision. He killed almost 70 of my men and he owes the people of Genii a great debt."
Ronon's eyebrows shot up. "Almost 70 men? Sheppard...I didn't know you had it in you. Not a bad day's work for someone who's basically lazy."
Sheppard grimaced. "I have my moments."
Kolya smiled at Sheppard, already knowing the answer before he asked the question. "What will it be Colonel? Do you surrender to your punishment willingly...or do I kill your team?"
Sheppard stood his ground another few seconds. "Teyla, Ronon, McKay...keep your guns up and trained on them. If Kolya goes back on his word, kill as many of them as you can. Tell Elizabeth...just tell her I said thanks... for everything and...I have no regrets." He turned his gun around and offered it butt first to Kolya. Kolya accepted the P90. Sheppard pulled his 9mm out of the holster and handed it to the man beside Kolya.
He knew his team was still incredulous at his decision, but it was his to make. In a no win situation, he had to do as much damage control as he could to try and protect his team for as long as he had any form of leverage. Kolya wanted him - "wanted" - that gave Sheppard the chance to get his team back home safe...back to Elizabeth, to tell her. If they didn't get back, she'd never know that he would always be grateful for the chance to come to this galaxy...even if it meant he died here. He never took his eyes off the Genii Commander, but he was fully aware of the silence behind him. He needed to try and wrap this up before frustration boiled over and someone, anyone, got trigger happy.
"That's an order, Specialist Dex," he added, not taking his attention from Koyla, his tone delivering the message clearly.
"Good choice, Colonel." Kolya shifted to the side as if he might turn away from Sheppard and then wheeled around, hitting the Colonel in the face with the butt of his own P90. Sheppard was knocked to the ground from the force of the blow. The rest of his team tensed and Ronon took a step forward.
"Stand down!" yelled Sheppard. "It's okay," he said as he staggered to his feet. Two soldiers came up beside him and took hold of his arms, practically holding the swaying man up. Blood ran from a large gash streaking across the right side of his forehead and down across his temple.
"Was that really necessary?" yelled McKay, the panic evident in his voice.
Kolya just smiled smugly. "That was one from me for my men. I was very close to many of them."
Sheppard had steadied himself by then. "Yeah...well talk's cheap - you're the one who invaded my home. I was just defending my people. You ordered them through the gate, Kolya...I'd say you've got as much blood on your hands as I do. Have you told the families of those men exactly how much your greed and ego actually contributed to their loved ones being killed? Maybe you're the one who should be apologizing to the families. I don't claim to be the galaxy's most brilliant military leader, but even I can see that you really suck at the strategy thing."
Kolya stood calmly staring at Sheppard as he team watched silently, wishing their CO could just lay off the sarcastic comments for a few minutes. Quick as a flash, Kolya rammed the butt of the gun into the other side of Sheppard's face. This time when he hit the ground, he didn't get up. Kolya walked up behind him and nudged him with the toe of his boot. Sheppard, lying on his left side with his back to his team, didn't move. Kolya brought his foot back and kicked Sheppard visciously in the lower back.
"Stop! I can't believe you would kick a man when he is unconscious. He is of no threat to you." said Teyla.
Kolya just smiled at her in a way that frightened her more than anything the wraith had ever done. Kolya walked around to stand in front of Sheppard. He nudged Sheppard again, this time in the stomach. When Sheppard didn't respond, he kicked him again. "Colonel Sheppard is in for a lot more than just being kicked," he smirked. "You must all go...NOW...before I change my mind."
"What do we do?" asked Rodney. "We can't just leave him here."
"I don't think we have a choice," said Ronon. "We can't help him right now. If we leave, maybe we can find a way to help him later." None of them wanted to leave Sheppard there, but to not go was instant death for all of them. Ronon was right, they decided. Maybe they could come back with reinforcements and get Sheppard. And so they backed all the way to the Stargate, dialed, and backed through the gate, all the while watching Sheppard's still form on the ground.
As soon as McKay stepped out onto the gateroom floor, he turned and ran toward the gate controls, where he knew Elizabeth would be waiting. As he bounded up the steps two at a time, he was calling to her that they had to go back for Sheppard. Once she had assembled the whole team, it took several minutes for them to calm down enough to explain what had happened. It took several more minutes to assemble additional troops to help with the rescue. All in all, it was a good half hour later when the team returned to the planet with twenty soldiers on the ground and two jumpers. They returned to Atlantis a couple of hours later to report that Sheppard and the Genii were no where to be found. Rodney voiced his theory that they had taken the Colonel to the Genii home world within minutes of the team returning to Atlantis. They silently contemplated the chances of recovering Sheppard alive under the circumstances. None of them were hopeful.
Elizabeth sent a MALP through the stargate to the Genii home world and found, as expected, that the gate was guarded by a large contingent of soldiers with weapons trained on the gate. They knocked the MALP out with weaponfire almost as soon as it left the wormhole. They were expecting the rescue attempt and had ensured that it would not be successful.
Next, Elizabeth opened the gate and contacted Cowen by radio. He curtly replied that Sheppard was to be punished by the people he had harmed with his actions and that any attempt at rescue would be met with his execution and retaliation against the people of Atlantis. He then cut off communication. Elizabeth's only remaining course of action was to wait until the Daedalus arrived in three days and hope she could convince Caldwell to help her and that Sheppard was still alive to rescue. It was with a heavy heart and a knot in her stomach that she explained this to Sheppard's team. Everyone sat in silence, staring at the table as they realized they would probably never see Sheppard again.
Sheppard regained conscioussness in a small, damp cell with a dirt floor. As he lay on the floor shivering, he realized they had not only taken his jacket and vest, but also his shirt and shoes. He was barefoot and bare-chested and really, really cold. He started to sit up, but the pain shooting through his head scaled up to add dizziness and nausea to the mix. He quickly lay back down on his side and curled up in a ball against the pain and the cold. His stomach and back hurt and were tender to the touch. There must have been more entertainment after he had been knocked into oblivion.
The door to his cell opened and he heard several people move into his cell. He cracked his eyes open to look up at Kolya.
"Ahh, Colonel Sheppard. I see you are awake. How is your headache?" Kolya sneered.
"Just peachy, Kolya. Thanks for your concern. Better watch it...you wouldn't want your men to think you're getting soft and starting to care," Sheppard retorted sarcastically.
Kolya nodded to the two large men who had entered the dark cell with him. They each grabbed one of Sheppard's arms and jerked him to his feet. The sudden burst of motion sent an explosion of pain through Sheppard's head and his legs buckled beneath him. As he began to sink, the two soldiers jerked him back upright, snapping his head back and sparking the nausea and dizziness again. With no chance to recover between the violent episodes, Sheppard leaned forward and vomited, spraying Kolya's boots and lower pant legs.
When Sheppard quit heaving and managed to get his bearings enough to realize what he had done, he looked up into Kolya's angry expression. "Oops."
Kolya stepped around the puddle on the floor and stood directly in front of Sheppard. He grabbed the Colonel's chin and jerked it up, sending spasms of pain through his already aching head. "We will see how much sarcasm and wit you have tomorrow, Colonel Sheppard. I will look forward to seeing how funny you think your punishment is. We will come for you at first light. Sleep well, Colonel." With a snap, he let go of Sheppard's face and punched him hard in the stomach. Sheppard grunted as he doubled over and tried desperately to suck air into his lungs.
The two men holding him upright abruptly threw him to the ground and followed Kolya to the door. As Sheppard heard the door close, he called out, "I hope your shoes come clean, Commander." The sound of the door locking seemed unusually loud to Sheppard as he curled back up on his side, vainly attempting to shut out the pain and the cold and the fear of what tomorrow would bring.
Sheppard was jolted awake as two soldiers pulled him to his feet by his arms. Between the pain, the cold, and the concussion, he hadn't slept well and he felt sluggish and groggy. The rough treatment without so much as a wake up call wasn't making his head or bruised torso feel any better.
"What...no Good Morning to greet the day?" he asked the guards as they drug him out of the cell. He was dizzy and barely conscious and having a hard time getting his legs working beneath him. They obviously weren't in the mood to wait.
When they left the underground prison where he'd been kept, he immediately closed his eyes against the sunlight. He stumbled blindly along for several minutes before they stopped. He was aware of his wrists being shackled above his head as he stood half-naked, still shivering from the seeping cold of the night. As his eyes adjusted and he was able to see, he discovered he was staked out in the middle of what appeared to be a town square filled with people. Kolya stood in front of him with that all too familiar evil smirk.
"Welcome to hell, Colonel," he said softly to Sheppard before turning to the crowd. "This is Colonel John Sheppard of Atlantis. He is the one responsible for the death of almost 70 Genii. He killed your sons, your husbands, your fathers, your brothers. He is here for the just retribution from the Genii people. You have all drawn numbers to establish the order in which you may exact your revenge. When it is your family's turn, each member of the family may confront Colonel Sheppard. You may say anything that you want and inflict physical pain in exchange for your loss. You may not, however, kill him. Each family must have an equal opportunity to punish Colonel Sheppard. You may choose the method of punishment you use, but you must not kill him. If he dies at the end of the ceremony as a result of the injuries he sustains, then so be it. Are there any questions?"
Silence filled the courtyard as it began to sink in on Sheppard just how bad his day was probably going to get.
"All right. We begin. Will the first family step forward?"
A family stepped out of the crowd and made their way over to Sheppard. The woman in front spoke to him first. "I am Salaie, wife of Torraine, who you killed. These are his sons, Darius is 8 and Jonsanah is 10." Her voice faltered as she wiped away her tears.
The younger boy kicked Sheppard hard in the shin. "You killed my father. I hate you! I hope you die!" He kicked Sheppard again in almost the same place. The older boy just glared at Sheppard, anger smoldering in his eyes.
The woman, now openly crying, looked back up at Sheppard. "Remember always what you have done to my family," she said and then she spit on him. The woman and the children moved to the side in order to allow an older couple with them to move up to Sheppard.
The older woman immediately slapped him. It might not have seemed so bad if he hadn't already been knocked in the head twice with the butt of his P90. As it was, he fought off a raging case of double vision as the man announced that Torraine had been his son. Sheppard's head was just beginning to clear when the man punched him soundly in the stomach, followed by a blow to the jaw. He wasn't sure if the man was exceedingly strong for his age of if he was just extra weak right now. Everything grayed for a minute. When his vision finally cleared, family number two was waiting.
And so his day went. Family after family introduced themselves and told of their loss before punching, kicking, slapping, and/or spitting on him. In one family, five children ages five to fifteen pummelled him with rocks for several minutes until Kolya finally stopped them. Several women in the afternoon batch of families discovered their blows were more effective when delivered with a stick. Kolya had to pull one woman off Sheppard after she beat him unconscious and then continued to lay down blow after blow until Kolya was afraid she would kill him.
Sheppard had been drifting in and out of awareness when he realized they were taking him down. He had ceased to feel his arms hours ago, but when they dropped to his sides it felt as though both shoulders had been violently ripped out of socket. He yelped in pain and dropped to his knees. The two burly soldiers grabbed his arms and jerked him upright, making his shoulders feel as though his joints were full of shards of glass, grinding away.
He looked around the courtyard and realized most of the people were gone and it was getting quite dark. He'd been hanging there all day as the Genii cursed him and beat him. His lips were swollen, cracked, and dry, except for the small trickle of blood still oozing from his most recent punch in the face. Every square inch of him hurt.
"We done?" he managed to croak.
Kolya smiled. "No, Colonel. But it is late and the people are tired. We begin again at daybreak." He nodded at the two guards, who drug him back to his cell and threw him rather unceremoniously to the floor. Before they left, one of them set a small cup of water on the floor by the door.
"The Commander said you could have a small drink of water. We wouldn't want you to die of thirst." The two men laughed loudly as they closed and locked the door. Sheppard lay curled on his side, looking at the small cup. After a while, he slowly lifted his head and crawled over to the cup. His hands were shaking so badly as he picked the cup up that he was afraid he would spill it all before he got it to his lips. It was warm and dirty and Sheppard didn't care. He drank every drop and fervently wished he had more.
Convinced he could get no more water from the cup, he dropped it on the ground and curled back up in a fetal position, alone with the pain, the cold, and the haunting faces of the families of the men he had killed. He closed his eyes, but he kept hearing their names and seeing their grieving faces. The sweat and blood that covered his body caused the dirt from the floor to stick to his open wounds, but he didn't care. He was a dead man and he knew it. There would be no last minute rescue this time...not on the Genii home world. The best he could hope for was that death would come quickly tomorrow and end his suffering.

The students are taken in for a breathtaking experience as they witness the spacecrafts and robots and various other equipments. It gives them a totally different learning experience and makes them view their learning from a different perspective. This programmme is specifically intended to educate the students on the recent developments in science & technology which inspires them to pursue their careers in the same field.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said the lava, which the U.S. Geological Survey said is about 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit, flowed toward the Pacific Ocean and was about a half mile away from the water.
The active lava flows in the coastal plain are now only about 1 km from the coast. Their advance has slowed down significantly as the lava is now in almost flat terrain and the arriving new lava is mostly "used" to inflate the fresh field and expand its sides, until a main lava tube is established in the coastal flat as well.
It is impossible to predict when lava will be hitting the ocean- this could be within few days or even less or still take weeks (if at all, but it is now extremely likely).
The volcano's summit is currently undergoing a period of deflation and the lava lake in Halema'uma'u has dropped a bit; yesterday morning, it was 35 meters (115 feet) below the floor of Halema`uma`u crater.
Several vents remain active inside the Pu'u 'O'o crater on the east rift zone.
The new lava flow southeast of Puʻu ʻŌʻō continued to be active and made some rapid advance through the coastal plain: when HVO last mapped it Tuesday afternoon, the nearest lava front was only about 1.7 km (1.1 miles) away from the coast, after having advanced nearly 1 km alone since the morning of Monday (i.e. little more than 24 hours).
If the current rapid advance continues, lava might begin to flow into the ocean – and construct new land on Hawai'i – very soon (few days?).
After having descended the steep slope of the pali, the new lava flow now advanced in the flatter coastal plain towards the ocean. As of yesterday, the flow front was about 400 m from the break in slope and still 2.9 km (1.8 mi) away from the sea.
If the recent average speed of advance of approx 140 m per day continues, lava could reach the Pacific in approx. 3 weeks, although it is likely that the advance of the front slows down with distance on flatter ground and it might then take a little longer (although the opposite can become true as well…).
The newest lava flows on Kilauea continue to descend the Pulama pali and reach the coastal plain, where the blocky a'a transforms into the smoother pahoehoe lava.
Our friend and filmmaker Michael Dalton is currently on Hawai'i and sent us some images of the new lava flow descending the pali and reaching the coastal plain.
The new active lava flow headed to the southeast from Puʻu ʻŌʻō continues to advance and spread laterally. On 28 July it had reached a length of 6.9 km (4.3 mi) from the vent and reached the Pulama pali in the western area of the abandoned Royal Gardens subdivision.
Most likely, it will reach the coastal plain today or in the next days, but then slow down and widen, reducing its advance towards the ocean.
At the summit caldera, a phase of deflation is in progress. The level of the Halema'uma'u lava lake dropped by about 10 m (33 ft) during 27-28 June.

Lynn Anderson, best known for the hit ("I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden," passed away Thursday night (July 30th) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville after a heart attack. She was sixty-seven years old. The singer, known as the "Great Lady of Country Music" had twelve No. 1's in her career and has been one of the most successful females in country music history.
Lynn Rene Anderson, (born September 26, 1947, in Grand Forks, North Dakota), was interested in country music at a very early age. Her parents were both songwriters; her mother, Liz Anderson, wrote Merle Haggard's "I'm a Lonesome Fugitive." Lynn released her debut album Ride, Ride, Ride in 1966 at age nineteen. She is best known for ("I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden," a country hit that was also an adult contemporary and pop crossover success. She won the ACM Top Female Vocalist award in 1967 and 1970, as well as the CMA Female Vocalist of the Year award in 1971. Lynn won a Grammy Award in 1971 for Best Vocal Performance for "Rose Garden" and became the first woman to win an American Music Award. She was named one of Billboard's Artists of the Decade in 1980.
Perhaps more important than her own success is the
path she paved for female artists. Lynn became the first country female to sell out Madison Square Garden in 1974. She had over fifty Top 40 hits in her career, making her one of the most successful women in country music to date. She has been considered many times for, but not yet inducted into, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and it's unfortunate that they didn't induct her before she passed away.
Lynn was known early in her career as the "California Horse Show Queen." She raised horses and obtained several distinctions, including sixteen national championships and eight world championships. Later in life, she worked with the "Special Riders of Animalland," a therapeutic horseback riding program for children. She never stopped showing horses or recording. In fact, she had just released a gospel album entitled Bridges on June 9th. The "Great Lady of Country Music" will be missed. Lynn has left her mark on the genre, as well as on music in general. At a time like this, it is especially important to remember the difference female voices can make in country music.
Tomato of the Week: Lindi Ortega
Her album comes out Friday, so it's time to feature Lindi Ortega on Female Friday! By the way, don't buy Luke Bryan or Michael Ray's albums this Friday, buy Lindi Ortega's…this will do more for country music than Jason Isbell did by beating Alan Jackson.
Random Country Suggestion: Jason Eady–Daylight and Dark
This was probably my favorite album of 2014. Plus, there's been a lot of talk about Texas country on here lately, so seems appropriate.
No non-country suggestion, just go listen to "Rose Garden."

Many people believe selling a home during the holidays is a bad idea. Things are busy, school is on break so kids are home...who would be looking? More people than you think! Here are just a few examples of why it's a good idea to list now...
More serious buyers – Less time wasted
These are people who are interested in buying so there is a far greater chance of actually selling the property. Nothing is more promising to a seller than a motivated and qualified buyer that knows what they want and is actively seeking to get it.
Fewer Homes On the Market
The less competition there is, the higher the chance there is for homes on the market to sell. Where during the peak season sellers might be dealing with some interest from buyers on their home, nonetheless there is more selection for buyers to choose from and they can stray to another property.
In Spring Inventory Increases
With so many homeowners assuming the holidays is a taboo time to sell there is a plethora of new listings in the New Year, resulting in more competition. Also, there is a risk that the price you may receive on the home can be less.
Decked Halls Look Great!
Homes are very appealing to prospective buyers when they are decorated for the holidays. With all the festive décor, lights, greenery and added beauty of the season – the home shows very well and attracts buyers faster than if shown during other times of the year.
More Time To Browse Homes
Buyers have extra time off from work and are on vacation, which translates to a more aggressive buying pattern and more chances of your home being viewed.
Show The Home With Flexibility
Sellers that have their home listed prior to the holidays have the added advantage to be able to "pause" the process so they can celebrate the holidays, essentially not showing the home during a period of time during the break. When the festivities die down, things can pick up again and the seller has not only managed to save potentially lost time but can also jump right back into the market.

Happy #foodiefriday my pretty friends! Today's recipe is brought to you by The Fresh Market– one of my absolute favorite grocery stores to shop at. I've teamed up with them to create a delicious, easy and nutritious grilling recipe to end the summer with.
This recipe is not only super easy to make but its also packed with flavor and nutrients. It's low in saturated fat, low in sodium, high in vitamin C, B12, B6, selenium, vitamin A, phosphorus and niacin. It's also low in calories since you are using chicken breasts, a lean protein!
I created this recipe for a little picnic my husband and I had two weeks ago. We assembled the kabobs before we left to the park, which made it super easy to just pop them on the grill. We packed up our little picnic basket and headed to Piedmont Park- which is like Atlanta's Central Park. We ate some Fresh Market Peach salsa to start with and poured two glasses of Riesling. Drew grilled up the kabobs in 15 minutes and we were all set for a romantic dinner!
A few pieces of advice- make sure you purchase harder {less ripe} peaches so they hold up well in the heat. Also, if you soak your chicken in apple cider vinegar or Italian dressing 30 minutes before grilling, it will give them more flavor {completely optional}. It will also keep them nice and moist during grilling!
Save money by shopping at The Fresh Market on Tuesdays and get all natural chicken breasts for $2.99/pound!! Steal! You can search for a for a location near you by clicking here.
Chicken and Peach Kabobs
1 Chicken Breast, chopped
2 peaches, sliced
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 green bell pepper
1/2 yellow bell pepper
1/2 orange bell pepper
1/2 Vidalia Onion
1 Teaspoon Garlic Salt
- Soak your kabob sticks in water for at least 30 minutes. This will keep them from burning.
- Cut up peaches, vegetables and chicken in ~2 inch pieces. Set aside.
- Thread peaches, chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers. Season with garlic salt.
- Place loaded skewers on grill. Alternate sides so everything cooks evenly. Once chicken has cooked all the way through, pull away from grill.
Chefs Note: Make sure you use hard peaches. This way they will not fall apart when placed on grill.
Bon appetite!

Wayne McGregor | Random Dance – Atomos
Cutting-edge contemporary choreographer Wayne McGregor has now been leading his company through a radical trajectory of work for 20 years. A Resident Company of Sadler's Wells, Wayne McGregor | Random Dance has won accolades and awards around the world. (more…)
Richard Alston is a key figure in British contemporary dance. He was one of the first students at London Contemporary Dance School in the late 1960s and founded the country's first independent dance company, Strider, in 1972. In 1980 he went on to become Rambert's resident choreographer and later Artistic Director (he made the decision to drop 'Ballet' from the company's name), before forming his own company at The Place in 1994. Over his 45 year career in dance Alston has developed a choreographic style which is intrisincally linked with music. The company are celebrating their 20th anniversary next week with a special programme at Sadler's Wells – and as a preview, we've been dipping in to the archive of the work he's made -and the wide range of music which has inspired him…
Part of the programme at Sadler's Wells next week, Alston's inspiratoin is Benjamin Britten's joyous setting of the words of poet Christopher Smart
Sadler's Wells Wild Card – Casson & Friends
Wild Card returns with more specially curated evenings from a new generation of dance makers, bringing fresh perspectives to the stage. For each Wild Card, an up-and-coming artist is given the opportunity to present their own work, alongside performances by artists they admire.

How does David's discovery of Aunt Harriet's secret change his perspective and challenge the beliefs he was raised with in The Chrysalids?
- print Print
- list Cite
David learns something important about his society when Aunt Harriet arrives with her baby. David is aware that no one with any kind of imperfection is allowed, but he never considered what that might mean until his aunt came begging his mother to borrow her new baby.
'She was born a week ago. I didn't know what to do. Then when I heard your baby had come early and was a girl, too, it was like God answering a prayer.' (ch 7)
Harriet wants to swap babies long enough to get a certificate for hers. Both babies are girls. Unfortunately, Harriet's has some little thing wrong with her that prevents her from being perfect. Since she is not perfect, Harriet cannot keep her. She will be taken away—like Harriet's two previous children.
I can't stand that -- not again. Henry will turn me out, I think. He'll find another wife, who can give him proper children. There'll be nothing -- nothing in the world for me -- nothing. (ch 7)
Harriet is worried that she will lose her husband as well as her baby, because she has had three children with imperfections. David's mother refuses to help. She calls her husband, who tells Harriet to turn the baby in and repent. Harriet has no choice. If she does not turn the baby in, they will.
Harriet's body is found. She killed herself. No one mentions what happened to the baby.
David is clearly struck by this event, because he remembers it when the Sealanders come to rescue him. It becomes symbolic of everything that is wrong with his community. That an innocent baby should suffer because of one small imperfection is baffling and sickening to him. He is happy to be moving on.

To Whom It May Concern,
Thank you for considering being a sponsor of Lodi High School Thailand exchange. Ten students from Lodi High School and three staff members will be traveling to Thailand in November for three weeks. Lodi High School has an educational cultural exchange with Thailand. Every other year students from Thailand come to the school in Lodi for three weeks and students go to Thailand alternating years. Students will stay with host families for the three weeks, go to school in Thailand, and go on other valuable and educational trips. The purpose of this exchange is to expose and educate students to new cultures.
To help off- set the costs of our trip we have been fund raising throughout summer. Our final fundraiser will be on October tenth at the Roxbury Tavern, four to six P.M. We will be having the Verona band "the Dang- Its" playing, food, beverages, and a raffle*. There will be a donation of ten dollars at the door. All profit will go directly to the exchange.
After the trip to Thailand we will also be hosting a presentation night for the community. At the presentation night we will share our experiences, what we learned, and photos. We will also answer any and all questions about our experience. We are asking for your financial support to help offset costs of the fundraising event in Roxbury. All supporters of our cultural exchange will be given recognition at this event as well as the presentation night. Thank very much for your financial consideration. Hope to see you there!

5 New Year's Resolutions you can Involve the Kids in!
5 New Year's Resolutions you can Involve the Kids in!
So it's that time of year again when we are full of good intentions. Whether it be to eat healthier, exercise more or find ways to make our dirhams go further we all have something we would like to achieve in the year ahead. The beginning of the year symbolises a new start and with that comes new aspirations and dreams, but why not keep it simple this year? Give yourself realistic goals which are achievable and stress-free. Involve your children, even better make resolutions focused on them(let's face it our world revolves around them anyway) which can be incorporated into everyday life. Here are 5 that may be worth a try.
- Make mealtimes a family affair – How many of us are guilty of rushing our children through their breakfast in the mornings as we quickly gulp on a cup of coffee racing against the clock. Or in the evenings feeding the children their dinner first only to cook later on again for you and your husband. Why not try to all sit down at the table together? Even if it means setting the alarm clock 10minutes earlier or leaving the office at a reasonable time, that important paperwork will still be there tomorrow. Make sure the TV's off and phones, iPad or any other distractions are out of sight and reach.
- Limit screen time – Yes we want our children to be 'technologically savvy' but at what cost? Whether it be dining out or sitting in a trolley in the supermarket let's turn off phones and IPads and promote the ancient art of conversation.
- Enjoy the outdoors – while the weather still allows us to. Before we know it the Dubai summer will be upon us so let's make the most of the winter months by visiting parks, beaches and just playing with our children outside in the fresh air.
- Laugh out loud – They say that laughter is the best form of medicine so this year laugh your way to good health. Also make it your mission to make your little ones laugh every day too, purely because there's no better sound in the world than that of children giggling.
- Let's play – Take 10 minutes every day to join your child in uninterrupted play. If they have their cars and garage out sit yourself down at their level and join in. Maybe you're asked to dress up as a princess and wear a tiara? Go with the flow and make their wishes your command. Lose yourself in their world of play, we promise you they will love every minute of it.
They all sound simple enough, now all we have to do is; make time, stop rushing, enjoy the little things, live in the moment and start making memories. Best of luck and may 2017 be the year that all your resolutions become realities.

How to find the phase shift and vertical translations of sinusoids?How do I find the phase shift and vertical translation of sinusoid functions? Some problems that I'm having trouble with are...
- print Print
- list Cite
Hi -
Think back to linear equations in the form y = mx + b. The y-intercept (b) is the up/down (vertical) translation of the line y = mx.
So, consider y = 3cos(x+3). It's going to look like all squiggly, right? Now throw in a vertical translation: y = 3cos(x+3)-2. All the y-values have now just dropped by 2, so the whole graph shifts down 2 units.
Keep your eye out for a constant (number) being added or subtracted from the sinusoid. For example, y = sin(3x)+4 has a vertical translation of positive 4 ("shift up 4").
Now on to phase shift. Just as adding a constant to the y value shifts your graph up or down, adding a constant to the x variable shifts the graph left and right (this is called phase shift). The only tricky part is that you may need to factor first:
sin(2x-pi/2) has a constant being subtracted from 2x. To see what's being subtracted from x, we must factor:
sin(2x-pi/2) = sin(2(x-pi/4))
So the phase shift here is pi/4 units to the... right. If a value is being added to x, the graph moves left, and vice versa (to understand this, make some quick linear graphs: y = 2(x+c) for different values of c).
EX: y = cos(4x - pi) - 1.
First the easy part: vertical translation of 1 unit down.
Now factor the argument: y = cos(4(x - pi/4)) - 1. horizontal translation ("phase shift") of pi/4 units right.
I hope this helps!
The phase shift is called horizontal translation, hence the sinusoid is shifted to the left or to the right when the constant c is added to or subtracted from the argument of the trigonometric function.
If c>0, then the sinusoid is shifted to the right and if c<0, the sinusoid is shifted to the left.
If y=-3.5sin(2(x-`pi/2` )) => the phase shift is c = `pi/2` and the sinusoid is shifted to the right.
If y=5cos(3(x-`pi/18` ))=> the phase shift is c = `pi/18 ` and the sinusoid is shifted to the right.
If y=3cos(x+3) - 2=>the phase shift is c = -3 and the sinusoid is shifted to the left and the vertical translation is down d = -2 units.
Hence, the phase shifts are: 1)c=`pi/2 ` ; 2) c = `pi/18` ; 3) c = -3 and the vertical translations are )d=0; 2) d = 0 ; 3) d= -2.
