A small, crab-like robot arrives on the Robinson's planet and frightens Dr. Smith. The small robot eventually ends up at the Jupiter 2, where John Robinson studies it. He discovers that it's a robot probe searching for habitable planets for an alien race..
Will goes rock hunting and spies a ray of light that is actually a transporter beam. A man, along with a machine is transported to the planet. Will attempts to communicate with the man, however they cannot communicate because the man doesn't speak. Will leaves and returns with John, Don, and Dr. Smith. The alien man has disappeared, but John thinks the machine is a matter transporter device. John assumes (rightly) that it is a transporter device for the alien race (which are called Taurons), and that they most likely are peaceful. John believes the Taurons are doing the same thing that the Robinson's had planned to do...which is colonize planets. However upon hearing this, Dr. Smith fears that the Taurons are dangerous and plan to take over the entire planet.
In the galley of the Jupiter 2, Maureen has prepared a chocolate cake. Maureen, John, Don, Will, and Dr. Smith are in attendance. Maureen begins to slice the cake, but the entire cake disappears. Dr. Smith fears it's the Taurons and that they're up to evil and dastardly deeds.
Later, at the Jupiter 2, the Robot informs the Robinson's that a single Tauron has arrived. The Robot informs the family that from his scans, that the Tauron is basically humanoid.
Later, the Robinson's, Don, and Dr. Smith see two light beams shine down aproximately where the alien transport devise is. The Robinson's believe that more Taurons have arrived. Smith is still sure that the Taurons are dangerous and are a threat to the Robinsons.
However, Dr. Smith is incorrect. The Taurons are a peaceful people. The male Tauron, Rethso (Don Matheson) is only a family man, with a wife, Moela (Françoise Ruggieri), and a young son, Lunon (Eddie Rosson). NOTE: It is important to know that NONE of these names are spoken in the episode since the alien Taurons do NOT speak. It is hinted that they use a strange "electronic" language. However, the ONLY time this is seen is when the boy alien (Lunon) hears a sound and then leaves at once.
Smith, worried about the Tauron aliens...decides to take a laser gun and visit the Tauron camp himself. Despite the fact that the Taurons are peaceful, Dr. Smith becomes paranoid and draws his laser upon the Tauron family. This leads to distrust between the Robinsons and the Taurons.
Later, Will is rock hunting and comes across the Tauron boy (Lunon). Will tries to make friends...but a strange sound suddenly appears and Lunon runs away. That same night, Will tells about his encounter with Lunon...and that he seemed like an average human child. The only strange thing about Lunon was that he dressed differently and couldn't speak. Dr. Smith warns the Robinsons that the Taurons are unsafe...and had pointed a laser pistol at him (however he doesn't tell them that he did this first.) Dr. Smith's speech causes the Robinson's to be wary of the Tauron aliens.
The next day, Will is rock hunting again in the same area that he was in the day before. Lunon appears again, but this time the boy Tauron has a toy ball. Lunon gives the ball to Will, and motions for Will to throw it away from them. Will throws the ball away...but it turns and comes back to him. The ball is like a round boomerang.
Will tries to return the ball, however Lunon acts as if he wants Will to keep it. Suddenly Will lets out a huge sneeze. In seconds Lunon collapses upon the ground. Will manages to drag Lunon to a nearby cave to stay the night or until Lunon gets well.
Will does not return home that night and the Robinsons become agitated thanks to Dr. Smith. The Tauron parents, Rethso and Moela are also anxious. Since Dr. Smith had acted so violent and dangerous...the Taurons come to believe that possibly the Robinsons kidnapped their son.
The next morning, John, Don, and Dr. Smith go to the Tauron camp. Both sides are armed. John approaches Rethso and openly removes his weapons and throws them to the ground. Rethso aims his laser away from John. John tries to communicate with Rethso. John makes motion signs towards himself...then places his hand in the air to show the height of Will. John is trying to ask Rethso if he has seen Will. A confused Rethso shakes his head not comprehending, then Rethso motions with his hand at the height of Lunon (who is quite a bit shorter than Will). Rethso is trying to ask John if he had seen Lunon...however John now doesn't understand. It becomes obvious that the two men are unable to communicate properly.
Dr. Smith sees Rethso's wife, Moela, behind a grouping of rocks holding a laser gun. Dr. Smith fires his laser gun at Moela and narrowly misses her. This causes Moela to fire back. John races away from Rethso and returns to Don and Dr. Smith. John scolds Smith for firing first...but Smith claims that he saved John's life.
However, both Will and Lunon are not far away. Lunon had woken up feeling better that morning...and Will is taking him back to the Tauron camp. Lunon is still weak and leans heavily upon Will.
As they near the Tauron camp, both boys hear the exchange of laser guns firing. Will sits a weakened Lunon on the ground and leaves to investigate. Will comes upon John, Don, and Dr. Smith. Will explains that Lunon had gotten sick and that he had to stay with him until he was able to travel.
John rushed to where Lunon lies on the ground. John gently talks to the boy, then he gently takes the boy into his arms. John carries Lunon to the Tauron camp, and lays him gently on the ground in front of his mother and father and takes a few steps back. Moela rushes to her son and embraces him. Once Moela sees that Lunon is safe...she motions to Rethso (who is aiming a laser at John) to shoot John.
Seeing this, Will runs and stand in front of his father like a human shield. John quickly grabs Will and throws Will behind him.
Rethso hesitates. Then Lunon feebly stands and walks to Will and smiles and shakes hands with Will. Then both Rethso and Moela seem to know what has actually taken place. The small Tauron family of three stand together...and smile....and then a transporter beam hits them and takes them away.
However, Lunon left the toy ball for Will. Dr. Smith takes the ball and throws it away...he turns away, and then the ball hits Smith on the back of the head.
Will says that he still thinks there could have been a way for the Taurons to stay. John tells Will that it would be impossible...and that it was Will's sneeze that made the young Tauron, Lunon, ill anyway. John says that the Taurons do not possess the immunity to fight human diseases and germs...therefore it was unsafe for the Taurons to stay anywhere near the planet...or the Robinsons for that matter.
Will agrees but says that at least the antibiotics they gave Lunon made him well again. Don then says that the antibiotics did help make Lunon well....however nothing was stopping Lunon from catching a common cold and becoming dangerously sick again.
(Note: We never see the Robinson's administering any antibiotics to Lunon. Lunon plays with Will. Will sneezes. Lunon becomes ill. Will takes him to a cave to spend the night. Will and Lunon go back to the Tauron camp to witness the conflict between the Taurons and Robinsons. Lunon makes peace. The Taurons group together and then are beamed away.)
Background Information Edit
- Eddie Rothson, who plays Lunon, also had parts in 'Cool Hand Luke' (1968) and 'The Fugitive (1963). He was born on June 15, 1956 in California, USA. He died young, on September 19, 1994 (age 38) in Los Angeles, California, USA. Rothson was uncredited for his part as Lunon it this episode.>
- Francoise Ruggieri, a former Miss Golden Globe [1969], for which she would not receive until after this episode. She also had parts in "Funny Girl" (1968), and other tv show popular during that era such as "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", and "Nightgallary."
- Don Matheson starred in Irwin Allen's 'Land Of The Giants,' 'Days of our Lives,' and 'General Hospital.' He also starred in many other tv shows. He was a Korean war veteran, and was rewarded both a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart for his exceptional heroism during his tour of duty. Don was born on August 5, 1929 in Dearborn, Michigan, USA. He died June 29, 2014.
- The black rifles from "Noplace to Hide" are used by the Robinsons for the last time in this episode.
- The Tauron residence seems to have no sleeping quarters, bathroom, or significant amount of storage and offers no apparent protection from the elements or from the numerous strange creatures that populate Priplanus. Strange that a colonizing party would be sent to a planet without such items, especially given this planet's eccentric orbit and climate.
- The maser transportation device is used by Will in "Return From Outer Space".
- The Taurons are mute, at least with the Robinson party, and don't appear to have a written language so how they communicate that they are called "Taurons" is not clear.
- Masers are not a bad choice if one wants to send a signal over long distances as they are extremely stable with respect to frequency and phase. They operate in the microwave region of the spectrum so a visible beam such as the one shown as a special effect here is not possible from the maser effect itself. The beam might be interacting with some compounds in the planet's atmosphere causing them to fluoresce. This would mean that the beam is transfering energy to these compounds and thus being attenuated.
- Herman Groves (1927 - 2010) was a prolific television writer who worked on series as varied as "Vega$" and "Battlestar Galactica." He also wrote for the Gene Roddenberry series "The Lieutenant." Barney Slater wrote numerous episodes of LIS and the way his credit is assigned on this episode indicates his work here was a rewrite of Groves' original script.
- Yet again the Robinsons have given Doctor Smith a gun, and he causes trouble with it. Why do they keep letting him have weapons?
- Why did John and Don take Smith with them to the camp for negotiations? Certainly they should have known he would only make things worse. Which he did.
- John tells Will that when he sneezed, his germs made the alien boy sick. How did John know Will had sneezed when Will had not told him so yet?
- The Taurons are mute and supposed to use an electronic language. This can ony be heard when Will meets Lunon, then Lunon runs away after hearing a strange sound.
- Will mentions that the Robinsons gave Lunon some antibiotics. We never see this.

Yes, Today i get lucky: 34 So Promising in near future to bring you some tasty projects!
Congrats mate!! I'm 34 as well.
It's the 34 club! I joined last month
I'm gonna join the 32 club soon
The 34 club is so last year, all the cool kids are in the 35 club now!
I joined four months back.
Btw, what should we do after joining the 34 club?
Tell everyone you're 29
Man, you're too old. I feel like a baby around you guys (29)
EFEKT_Studio said
Man, you're too old. I feel like a baby around you guys (29)
Not sure if this happens to only myself. When I was just nearly 15 , I solidly felt 15 as very big age and 12,13 as too small. Now the same happens after 34, the 30s and 31s are looking too small
So I believe even after touching the 70s probably that range will not feel like too much of age Anyone here in their 70s?

Last night Kate Middleton made her first public appearance at the Sports Personality of the Year awards since announcing her pregnancy.
Kate looked incredible last night at the SPOYA. Copyright [PA]
Well it makes sense considering she spent most of her summer cheering on Team GB at the London Olympics.
All eyes were of course firmly set on the Duchess' baby bump.
Wearing a green, floor length Alexander McQueen Bell Sleeve gown, we could JUST about see the starts of her teeny tiny 12-week baby bump.
Kate had of course been struggling with severe morning sickness recently but looked positively glowing as she made her way to the stage to present the prestigious awards.

Kate Middleton presented two of the accolades, the first alongside David Beckham to which they presented the Lifetime achievement to Lord Sebastian Coe.
After an incredible summer, we would have expected nothing less.
Have a word with the in laws Kate and get this man a Knighthood!
Jessica accidently snubbed Kate's handshake. Oops. Copyright [PA]
Kate also gave out the biggest gong of the night to cyclist Bradley Wiggins for sports personality of the year.
Olympic athlete Jessica Ennis narrowly missed out on the top award, coming in second for her incredible London 2012 Gold medal performance.
Kate and Jess chatted backstage, ignoring the awkward handshake debacle. Copyright [PA]
In all the excitement of meeting Kate Middleton and accepting the award, the athlete accidentally snubbed the Duchess' open palm of congratulations.
Luckily, Kate didn't seem to hold this against as the two were spotted chatting later on in the evening.

text: I'm starting to plan a new PC build, which I'll build over the Christmas holidays, and I've started to look at the parts I want to use. As it is, the build I'm looking at will be about $2000 Australian, but probably closer to $1300 US if I buy from Newegg (who don't ship to Australia). Given there's such a large difference, I was wondering if anyone had any experience having stuff forwarded from the US, particularly PC parts, and knew where to start?

Kaplan, Burton Berline August 31, 1940 - March 28, 2011. Burt was a business leader, philanthropist, father, grandfather, athlete, and unwavering supporter of social justice. He died peacefully at his house in Highland Park at the age of 70 after a courageous 20 year battle with Parkinson's disease. After graduating from Highland Park High School in 1958, he went to Wesleyan University, where he played football, studied intellectual history, music appreciation and began his 50 year marriage to Anne, the love of his life, His career as CEO of Sealy Mattress of Illinois and co-chairman of National Bedding was launched after graduating from Harvard as an MBA in 1966. In the late 80's, he became concerned about the growth of economic inequality in America and focused his efforts on providing educational opportunities for the underserved children of Chicago. This pursuit would continue throughout his life In 1987, he started an I Have A Dream (IHAD) program in Chicago's Cabrini Green neighborhood, adopting a class of 43 seventh-graders. He worked to provide them with the tools and financial resources necessary to graduate high school, college, and to become productive citizens. This class remains an important part of the extended Kaplan family. He continued his efforts to break the cycle of disparity in the quality of public education for underserved children as one of the founders of North Lawndale College Prep, a charter high school producing positive results working with the children of Chicago. He also served as a director of the Albert Pick Foundation, the Ounce of Prevention Fund, and the Kaplan Family Foundation. His contagious love of the arts translated into loyal support as a board member of the Ravinia Festival, the Joffrey Ballet, Auditorium Theatre, and as a collections committee member of the Art Institute and the Museum of Contemporary Art. A devoted skier and golfer until the end of his life, Burtie will be remembered for his beautiful turns, clutch putts and his relentless determination to fit all he could into each and every day. He tirelessly sought to provide those around him with ever expanding physical, educational and intellectual opportunities. Burt is survived by his wife Anne, his father Morris (Dolores) and the late Alice, brother Robert (Laurence), sister Jean, his 3 children Beth (Ken) Karmin, Mike (Laura), Charlie (Elaine Sun), and his 9 grandchildren Hannah, Henry, Chloe, Edmund, Emma, Eli, Stella, Ava and Sam.

Rethinking Municipal Privatization
Series: New Political Economy
This book examines one of the most high-profile municipal privatizations—the privatization of New York City's Central Park. The fiscal crisis of the 1970s established the political and cultural opening for privatizations, which were justified on the basis of increasing efficiency. However, as Cooke...

He said: "My future is with Arsenal and I am very happy to stay there. Everyone treats me very well in London and I have no reason to leave.
"I will never play for a club where I am not comfortable with the manager. It is true that Arsene Wenger has helped me a lot and I can only thank him for everything he has done for me.
"I owe him a lot but if I want to stay at Arsenal, it is because I have trust in the team and I am comfortable to stay there.
"I feel very important there and the day that changes will be when I want to have a new club. I don't know if I will return to Spain. It is very difficult at the moment. I am 21 and have grown as a person in London.
"I want to continue living here and not risk losing leaving all the things which suit me so well. I feel important at Arsenal and have a lot of responsibilities in the team.
"I feel we can do very well next year and will try to produce my best form at the start of the season. We want to win the Champions League."

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
From the Publisher"The work is a history of thought as much as a history, and the two themes are cleverly welded together. . . . In refreshing contrast to the tendency of economic historians to concentrate on the Anglo-Saxon or European experience, much attention is given to other areas of the world: Japan, China, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East."—Lawrence H. Officer, University of Illinois, EH.NET Reviews (September 2003)
"Historians reading Helleiner's book should recognize that its true value lies less in its historical detail . . . than in its remarkable synthesis of a global phenomenon. . . . Historians would do well to use it as a guide to future research. Indeed, this overview should spark renewed interest in the history of money, particularly the relation between political and monetary systems. As a field, it is wide open for inquiry, and should it ever get the attention it deserves, Helleiner will deserve no small share of the credit."—Stephen Mihm, Business History Review, Spring 2004
"This is an excellent book that deserves a wide audience of international relations scholars, economists, and policymakers: It is ambitious, intelligent, insightful, learned, thorough, and gracefully written. The Making of National Money will soon be required reading for students of international political economy, as is Eric Helleiner's States and the Reemergence of Global Finance."—Rawi Abdelal, Harvard Business School, Perspectives on Politics 2:1, March 2004
"This work is pathbreaking for its theoretical, historical, and policy insights, and—as a result of this originality—raises new issues for theorists, researchers, and policymakers. . . . The Making of National Money makes an undeniably important contribution to historical, policy, and theoretical debates, and is essential for anyone interested in international relations, comparative economic institutions, or the international political economy."—Wesley W. Widmaier, St. Joseph's University, Comparative Political Studies 37:4
"This book, which is well-written and persuasively argued, will be of interest to students and scholars of international political economy and international relations and to others interested in economic history and the historical roots of globalization."—Timothy B. Gravelle, University of Toronto, Political Studies Review 2:2, April 2004
"When did money become national, and why? These are the questions that Helleiner addresses in a wide-ranging and immaculately detailed monetary history. . . . Helleiner succeeds admirably in enriching our historical understanding of money's multiple functions in political economy. The study of money, he makes clear, is too important to be left to the economists alone."—Benjamin J. Cohen, University of California, Santa Barbara, Journal of Interdisciplinary History 34:4, Spring 2004
"The Making of National Money is a brilliant and deeply researched analysis of the ephemeral nature of the national currency. It will surprise many readers who assume that countries have since time immemorial had their own currencies. Eric Helleiner raises very important questions about the meaning of money and the effects of monetary relations on political institution-building."—Harold James, Princeton University
"This is a splendid book. It is a thorough yet gripping investigation of how the historical geography of currencies can provide profound insight into the vagaries of national statehood. Money may make the world go around but how it does so has long depended on national, not worldwide, currencies. The history of this paradox is finally confronted in this path-breaking book."—John Agnew , University of California Los Angeles
"Eric Helleiner breaks ground in offering the first comprehensive history and analysis of how territorial currencies came into being and how they came to dominate other forms of monetary organization."—Benjamin J. Cohen, University of California, Santa Barbara
"Recent change in Europe has resulted in the disappearance of some national currencies and the re-emergence of others. Eric Helleiner's book provides a scholarly and wide-ranging view of the evolution of territorial currencies over the last two centuries in association with the rise of the nation-state. The Making of National Money is particularly valuable for its interdisciplinary approach. Helleiner addresses the political, social, and technological factors in the creation of national currencies and the interaction of these factors with economic theories."—Virginia Hewitt, Curator of Paper Money, British Museum, London

Ah,............ What is keif?
Ah,............ What is keif?
The stuff in your grinder (if it has a catcher) that sits in the bottom . It's loose hairs , crystals , and plant material with a very high THC content . Real hash is technically pure THC , and is made differently . Kief-Hash is almost as strong but not quite , but will get you very fucked up . I prefer Kief-hash because you put a bunch of different strains through a grinder , and get crystals and shit from all different strains , so it's a fun experience
Smoked Strains: TRAINWRECK AK47 WHITE WIDOW FIRE SWEET TOOTH
PLATNUM KUSH OG KUSH SOUR D KALI KUSH BLUE BERRY KUSH CYBER CRYSTAL DANK HASH WILLIE NELSON HAZE PURPLE HAZE PINK KUSH DREAM QUEEN HEAD BAND JACK HERER Tennessee Rose Krystal Haze (Not the fake bud) Orange Chill Blue Dream
Trying the shoe method as we speak...
I've gotten a good bit of mid grade kief recently and wanted to make some hash quick and easy, didn't really find any ideas I liked so I used a couple of sewing thimbles. Packed the kief into a plastic thimble and packed it down with a smaller metal thimble (big metal thimble & smaller one to fit would be better). But after I packed the Kief down I heated the thimble and applied a good amount of pressure, them wrapped in duct tape and wrappers in aluminum foil finally.
MATERIALS: Small piece of duct tape, two metal sewing thimbles(1 small enough to fit into the other), aluminum foil, tongs to hold thimble(or fashion handle out of foil when wrapping the thimbles) and lighter or torch.
TIME: not to sure on the length of time it takes because I'm experimenting with it doing higher heat than normal for short periods of time, multiple times.
Let me know how it works or what y'all think if my idea if you try it.
I'm don't know this from experience

Sunny (Korean)
After getting accolades and praises at international festivals in New York, London, Osaka and Mumbai, Sunny doesn't need an Oscar nomination to second its merit. This Korean drama explores many emotions through a story that essentially based on nostalgia. The lead cast include a group of girlfriends who were thick as thieves in high school and how they change over the years. Unlike most films that reminisce the past, this one strays away from sappy melodrama and opts for a soulful approach to highly emotional situations. What is also particularly endearing is how quickly and easily the characters manage to engage and involve you as a viewer into their lives. A pure drop of sunshine, this.

On Thursday, Barbara Walters unveiled her 10 Most Fascinating People of 2010, with General David Petraeus topping the list, but we were more fascinated in Walters' selection of the entire cast of MTV's ratings juggernaut, Jersey Shore.
The cast, who've been cashing in on their newfound fame with lucrative appearances and endorsements, told Walters what they were doing prior to appearing on the show. Among the highlights: The Situation — who made $10 million this year — said he was fired from a fitness center, while Vinny Guadagnino said he was a pre-law student.

The iconic journalist then asked the bunch, "So look, I need a lesson, because you have your own language, so you need to help me … GTL?"
"Gym tanning and laundry," said The Situation. "It's almost like an abbreviation for our schedule, what we would do the first thing when we wake up."
"Grenades?" Walters asked.
"It's an unattractive female," Pauly D, which slightly rankled Walters.
"It's just guy slang, it's just humorous guy language that nobody's really intended to hear," The Sitch clarified.
Said Snooki: "When Barbara was speaking in our language, that was frickin' awesome!"
PHOTOS: Jersey Shore Cast Hits The Beach
Also making the list were actress Betty White, pop sensation Justin Bieber, Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg, new American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez, Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock, Prince William's fiancée Kate Middleton and NBA star LeBron James.
First lady Michelle Obama received the honors last year.

Tiger Woods won't set return date
Updated: June 28, 2011, 7:13 PM ETAssociated Press
NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. -- Tiger Woods is no longer using crutches, a walking boot or a razor. He hasn't hit a full golf shot in 47 days and has no idea when he will practice, much less play in another tournament.
All he could say with certainty Tuesday was that he would not return until he was fully healthy.
"Usually I set a timetable when I want to come back and play
when I've had injuries before," Woods said at the AT&T National,
which benefits his foundation. "This ...

Fiji Time: 1:03 AM on Saturday 23 May

Consumer Council Of Fiji
Saturday, December 01, 2012
DID you know that your hire-purchase (HP) company gains even when you default?
Defaults in payment attract penalty interests and charges, which are very common in the HP industry.
The Council's report, Hire Purchase Industry in Fiji, launched in July this year states that a total of 33 per cent of the HP consumers have defaulted in payments to the extent of receiving default notices. But the awareness on key aspects of defaults has been generally lacking.
Sixty per cent of the consumers did not know that there is a default penalty that the seller charges for each default.
While 43 per cent of the consumers knew that if they default, the dealer will charge for every letter and every call that it made to them, 80 per cent didn't know that the phone call charges billed are above the normal call rates.
For those who default, dealers earn an estimated gross revenue of $0.6 million per annum through sending default notices alone.
Case study
Mrs Prasad, a machinist, bought a twin-tub washing machine from a HP company.
When she entered into the credit contract with the company, she was not informed about any hidden fees and charges attached to the contract. Mrs Prasad took the washing machine home.
She made her payments on time until her husband, who was a temporary staff in a factory, lost his job.
Because of financial hardship, she missed two months payment after which she received a couple of phone calls and a default notice.
Mrs Prasad noted a significant sum added to her account.
This was an amount other than what she owed to the hire-purchase company for two months of payment.
She was charged for the two telephone calls made to her to remind her of the payment (total of $4.40, which is more than $2 per call), the default document posted to her was charged at $3, and a late penalty fee of $10.
Variation of payments also includes paying off the total sum due earlier than the scheduled payment date.
Twenty six per cent of all HP consumers discussed their intention of paying off the total sum due early.
Of these, 57 per cent actually paid off the sum early.
Seventy four per cent of those who enquired about early payments were shown calculations that showed early payments to be beneficial to the consumer, while a quarter saw no benefit of paying off the sum early.
On variation of the credit contract, 8 per cent of the consumers advised that they tried to return the goods to the seller.
Only 56 per cent of these consumers succeeded, but 90 per cent did not get any money back for the goods returned.
The only benefit that these consumers had from the goods that they were paying for was for the brief period that they had the goods with them before their return.
Council advice
You must be mindful that there are only more losses once you default.
To avoid payment of all unnecessary hidden charges, make your payments on time.
Talk to your HP company if you are in a tight financial situation.
Do not sit with the problem thinking it will go away because it will only bring you more financial burden.

I went and saw him about my shoulder and felt like I was in inconvienence and wasn't given time to have questions asked and answered. He said I needed therapy and there was only some swelling. After seeing another Dr. was told the issue was more severe and would need surgery. Thanx for wasting my time and money Dr. House.
After thoroughly examining my son's shoulder and looking at an MRI, Dr. House diagnosed the injury and recommended surgery. Of course, we went to another highly recommended orthopedic in FM/Lewisville who, after ONLY LOOKING at the MRI, walked into the room and told us there was no injury or problem.Glad we followed Dr. House's recommendation....there were multiple injuries in the shoulder area that had to be corrected! NOW, our son is pain free and back on the playing field. This is an office with a kind staff and GREAT doctor!
Knowledgeable, professional, experienced..(great Physicians Assistant!). Knew exactly what my break entailed and provided accurate diagnosis and care. Got the job done.
Dr. House got me back to the mound!
Very caring and profesional.
Dr. House is a busy orthopedist, but he is worth the wait. He can be delayed because some of his patients have complex problems. I've been to doctors in academic centers and he's just as talented as they come. His staff is very friendly and he treated me with dignity when I was in pain. I'm grateful that Denton has a great doctor like Dr. House.
My experience with Dr. House was horrible. I went the first time to have a bone looked at. He set up a follow up appointment for me a week later. At my second appointment, after waiting an hour and a half, he told me nothing was going to change. There was no point in making another appointment and paying another copay. His office staff is rude and incompetent and I would never recommend this doctor to any one!
very professional and caring person,great surgeon

The White Company is a motley group of English mercenaries, fighting under the leadership of Sir Nigel Loring. Bound by an unquestioning respect for social order, patriotism and a lust for adventure, the company makes its way to France to fight in the local wars. With assiduous attention to historical detail, Conan Doyle paints a convincing picture of the chivalric life and manners of the 14th century. With a fresh, concise style, this is a robust and stirring tale of adventure with the spirit and humorous touch of a Chaucerian raconteur.

I love reading and listening to books, especially fantasy, science fiction, children's, historical, and classics.
"Chivalric High Jinks, by My Ten Finger Bones!"
I had high hopes for this audiobook: the author of Sherlock Holmes writing a historical adventure featuring a mercenary company of bowmen during the 100 Years War between France and England! It???s really an episodic Bildungsroman about Alleyne Edricson, who at age 20 must leave his cloistered abbey life to experience the big world outside for a year so as to be able to make an informed decision about where he???d like to spend the rest of his life, abbey or world. He immediately meets two boon companions, John, a red-haired giant (reminiscent of Little John) and Aylward, a veteran bowman of the famed White Company. John and Aylward are full of lusty life, eating, drinking, wooing, and fighting with gusto, while Alleyne is an appealing protagonist: innocent, kind-hearted, loyal, and brave. And many of the scenes are exciting and or funny and or interesting, informed as they are by Doyle???s detailed research of and enthusiasm for 14th century warfare and life. And he doesn???t ignore the complexities of human nature, showing, for example, the same man bragging about the fancy goods he???s pillaged in France and then resenting being conned out of a few coins for some ersatz holy relics.
The reader, Nick Rawlinson, delivers a fine performance, changing his voice effectively for different English accents, as well as for Italian, French, and Spanish ones, whether the voices of women or men or of conniving and sadistic lords or open-hearted and open-handed chivalrous heroes. He???s even good at singing the several rough country or mercenary songs scattered throughout the book.
Finally, I had hoped for a more tightly constructed story. And I wonder at the honor and fame seeking chivalry that has Sir Nigel more than once leading his men to avoidable and horrific battles. Are these the virtues and men that Britain may be in sore need of again some day, as Doyle opines? But let that pass: the book is an enjoyable romp through the 14th century British, French, and Spanish countrysides

On Friday night, the Eagles met them once more in their first-ever ACC Tournament game and sent a message to the rest of the conference by overpowering the Terps in almost every aspect of the game. The result was an 80-66 victory and a chance to play North Carolina in the semifinals.
Last weekend, BC senior captain Craig Smith said the Eagles planned on making some noise when they got down to Greensboro for the tournament. Led by the preseason All-American's unstoppable interior game and point guard-like passing ability, the Eagles jumped out to a 27-6 lead that silenced a crowd dominated by Maryland fans. Smith ended up with a stat line that very few players in the country could even think about producing: 21 points (7-11 from the field, 7-8 from the line), 15 rebounds, seven assists, and four steals.
"I felt like it was all on me," Smith said on the court after the game. "I told my teammates 'give me the ball and I'll make the plays.'"
Of all the teams in the tournament, BC had to wait the longest to play a game that didn't tip off until about 9:45 p.m. They weren't rusty, though. In fact, they played as close to perfect basketball as they've played all year. Smith and junior Jared Dudley combined for 17 points during the Eagles' torrid start. Smith's inside presence combined with Dudley's precise shooting from the perimeter got BC out to a lead that Maryland wouldn't come close to erasing the entire night.
The focus that Boston College showed from beginning to end went unanswered by the Terrapins, who needed to win if they wanted any hope of making the NCAA Tournament. BC held Maryland to 34% shooting from the field and 66 points, 12 points lower than their season average. The Eagles out-hustled and out-smarted Maryland all game, winning the battle of the boards 38-35 and snatching every crucial loose ball. Throughout the night, the Terps looked like the rusty team and the Eagles looked like the underdogs who had nothing to lose.
That might have been fueled by the disappointing loss the Eagles surrendered in their first meeting with Maryland this year. BC proved how far they have come since then by improving on all the areas of the game that hurt them the first time around. They hit 75% of their free throws and made six more than Maryland (compared to a season-low 33% in the first meeting). The Smith-Dudley scoring tandem got a great deal of help from their teammates; Sean Marshall had 14 points - including nine straight at one point in the second half – and freshman guard Tyrese Rice dropped 19 on 9-10 shooting from the stripe.
The Eagles' uncharacteristically quick start (they're accustomed to starting slow and catching fire in the second half) forced Maryland head coach Gary Williams to send out his infamous full-court press to try to get back into the game. BC, who struggled against the press in their last game of the season against Virginia Tech, easily broke it this time around, which led to a lopsided victory for the Eagles in the fast-break points department.
It was an impressive performance that was characterized by the veteran poise and experience that Eagles fans have come to expect from their players. BC isn't done yet, however. On Saturday afternoon, following the first semifinal game of the tournament, the Eagles will take on #2-seeded North Carolina for a chance to advance to the finals. In the teams' only meeting of the year, BC beat the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill 81-74. Craig Smith will be looking to make some more noise in that game…or maybe he prefers silence.
"It's gonna be a road game for us, we know that," Smith said about the game that will be played about 50 miles from the North Carolina campus. "There's gonna be a lot of North Carolina fans, but we'll be ready."

AME Info, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, technology briefs
Dec 31, 2012 (AME Info - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- MICROSOFT WARNS IE USERS AGAINST ZERO-DAY FLAW: Microsoft has warned users against a zero-day vulnerability affecting older versions of Internet Explorer, which could allow attackers to gain control of Windows-based computers to host malicious websites, Cnet has reported. The remote code execution vulnerability affects the way the browser accesses memory, allowing an attacker to use the corrupted PC to host a website designed to exploit the vulnerability with other users. "Microsoft is aware of targeted attacks that attempt to exploit this vulnerability through Internet Explorer 8," Microsoft said, noting that more recent versions of the web browser, including IE 9 and IE 10, were unaffected.
LG ESCALATES PATENT DISPUTE WITH SAMSUNG: LG has filed a request for an injunction against one of Samsung's flagship products, escalating its worsening patent dispute with its South Korean rival, AFP has reported. In the injunction, LG Display accused Samsung of infringing three of its patents on LCD panels used in the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet computer. "Through this action, LG Display seeks to completely stop the sale, manufacture and importation of the infringing Samsung product," the firm said. The company also said it would request compensation amounting to $933,000 per day in the event of continued non-compliance. The two companies have been in a patent row since September when LG Display, one of the world's top flat-screen TV makers, filed suits against Samsung Electronics and Samsung Display for allegedly infringing patents on seven organic light-emitting diode (OLED)-related technologies.
ACER SEES TOUCHSCREEN LAPTOPS TO DOMINATE PC MARKET: Acer has said Windows 8 touch-screen laptops are eventually to dominate the PC market, although the operating system may take a while to win over computer users, Digitimes has reported. An internal research by the Taiwan-based PC maker showed that after using a product with a touch-screen for more than 20 minutes, users naturally gravitate to touch, Acer president Jim Wong told the daily. "This indicates that touchscreen control is an irreversible trend," he said. Windows 8 is a "new system that consumers must learn and the learning process will prevent the operating system from taking off quickly," he said. Wong, however, argued that criticism of the touch interface has been unfair.

WALLA WALLA -- Benefits of safety and commerce seem an ironic twist to winery operators along an eight-mile stretch of "the old highway 12."
North of Cougar Crest, Glencorrie, Skylite Cellars and several others, the new U.S. Highway 12 -- widened, realigned and celebrated Thursday as a safer roadway for travelers -- is killing business, some say.
Opened two weeks ago to traffic, the new stretch of highway between Walla Walla and Frenchtown has not only taken away the drive-by traffic, it's cut off connections for those who were destined for the wineries in the first place, said Skylite Cellars owner Cheryl Hodgins.
Access to her winery along the old highway at 25 Campbell Road has been blocked from the east and the west, and the connection from the new highway to the old one has yet to be completed. The winery's weekend traffic has consequently been cut off from about 200 visitors to zero, she said.
Washington State Department of Transportation officials say they are working with the affected wineries to provide signage and redirect traffic to the businesses. They say the lack of access is expected to be temporary while the connections are completed over the next two weeks.
Project Engineer Moe Davari said the main challenge is the intersection at Sudbury Road, which will serve as a feeder between the two roadways.
"We couldn't have rebuilt that intersection when the traffic was on the old highway 12," he said Thursday. "We had to make sure the new (highway) was completed."
But several business owners say the issue is deeper than that. Years in the making, the new highway alignment was always expected to take the commuter traffic from the old highway. But winery operators say they had been assured the switch wouldn't be made without proper signage, access and communication -- all with the acknowledgement that the wineries are as vital a piece to the economy as the trucks hauling goods on the highway.
"What was represented to us two or three years ago is not what's being done," Hodgins said. "I would never have built there knowing people couldn't get to me."
She and other winery operators believe the new highway should not have opened until the signage and connecting roads were complete.
"It's like opening a $30 million hospital without having any beds for the patients," Hodgins said.
The lack of traffic access is further exacerbated by the confusing road names, business operators say.
Original talks of renaming the old highway as "Winery Loop" or "Vintage Loop" to help wine consumers find their way were changed in favor of the "Old Highway 12" name. But a "Vintage Loop" sign was erroneously posted at the intersection with Spalding Road -- the new name for the former "Last Chance Road."
At the same time, the southern portion of the commonly known Sudbury Road that will be used as a feeder between the new and old highways will be designated as "Heritage Road."
"It's a confusing mess. The GPS systems will never figure it out," said Cougar Crest Winery owner Debbie Hansen, who still encounters delivery drivers befuddled by the change of her address from a few years ago.
"It's been Frenchtown Road for three years now and Mapquest still calls it Ireland Road," she said.
Though that connection has been complete, Hansen said visitors have taken awhile to adjust to the changing traffic pattern. She said her customers are starting to figure out how to reach her. That's especially been bolstered by the Department of Transportation's willingness to post orange signs last weekend telling drivers that businesses are still open on the old highway.
That's not the case for some of her neighbors, including Bunchgrass Cellars, which is also cut off on both sides.
"Nobody had any idea that there were going to be only certain roads open to connect the old highway and the new highway, and that you'd have to drive many, many miles down the road to find one," she said.
"We had customers who made it clear to Walla Walla before they realized what happened," she said. Three really dedicated ones came back on the old highway.
Hansen said Cougar Crest also has the benefit of having built its brand and following over 10 years in business.
Newer wineries, such as neighboring Glencorrie, have been harder hit. Owner Ronn Coldiron estimates his business is down 60 percent.
"Basically for people to find me has turned into an Easter egg hunt," he lamented.
He said winery operators along that stretch of highway met Tuesday to compare notes on the impact of the road change. He estimates the average loss of business among the group is 30 percent. Other winery operators attending the meeting were from Three Rivers and Reininger, among others. Many are trying to work together to secure more signage for their businesses. Coldiron said the roadway's designation as a scenic highway is restrictive on what exactly can be done. He said the wineries will need approval from Walla Walla County before those can be posted.
"We need fast cooperation," Coldiron said. "If this continues without any improvement, I'm dead. This is just not sustainable."

Sathyan Anthikkad's Puthiya Theerangal narrates a seaside story that maps the lives of people in a fishing village.
Sathyan Anthikkad has always been in the mainstream of Malayalam cinema and yet he has never been part of the herd. Trends come and go, but he has always stuck to his style of filmmaking and narrative; a style that makes him one of the most dependable and popular directors of Mollywood. While many of his contemporaries struggle, and often fail, to find their footing in their attempt to cater to a new generation of viewers and address a different set of concerns, Sathyan continues to move from strength to strength without resorting to any kind of gimmicks.
Puthiya Theerangal, which opened in theatres yesterday, is Sathyan's offering for the marquee this year. For the last 11 years, the film director had voluntarily restricted himself to a movie a year. His explanation is that he wants to be more of a viewer than a filmmaker to recharge himself as a director. Looks like his mantra for rejuvenation is working. Last year his flick Snehaveedu, scripted and directed by him, gave Mohanlal a much-needed hit.
After eight years, Sathyan is working on a movie that has not been scripted by him. "Lohitadas passed away. Some of my favourite scenarists such as Sreenivasan, Raghunath Paleri and Ranjan Pramod have not been very active on the writing front. So I was forced to begin writing my own scripts. However, Puthiya Theernagal has been scripted by Benny P. Nayarambalam. We had been planning a project for some time and when I heard the one-line story of this film I felt we had a script for my movie. Although Nattika beach is only a few km from Anthikkad, I have never been tempted to narrate a seaside story. Puthiya TheerangalThe characters and storyline had a refreshing feel to it and that is why I have also steered clear of my favourite team of actors without whom I have seldom made a film," explains Sathyan. Puthiya Theerangal narrates the story of Thamara, a plucky girl who lives on her own on the beach after her father fails to return from a fishing expedition. An elderly man (K.P.) is washed ashore on the beach and soon the two develop an unusual friendship. The lead roles are enacted by Namitha Pramod, whom we saw in a tiny role as Rahman's ailing daughter in Traffic, and Nedumudi Venu. Nivin Pauly enacts the character of Mohanan, a youngster whose friendship with Thamara blossoms into a romance. "The sea takes away her father but it is the sea that gives her a surrogate family too. I was moved by the spirited Thamara and was in search of a girl to breathe life into her," says Sathyan.
After going through several profiles and photographs, it was Anto Joseph who told Sathyan about Namitha. "I felt she had that spontaneity and naïveté that I was looking for," he adds.
Instead of the memorable rustic characters that we have seen in Sathyan's frames, this film has a new set of characters that we find in a seaside village. But, as in every Sathyan Anthikkad film, each character, no matter how small a role in the film, is a well-etched one with a story of his/her own. "For instance, there is this superb actor called Molly. She impressed in a bit role in Bridge in Kerala Café. In my film, she plays a spinster who lives in the village. Her fiancé went missing at sea but she waits in the hope that some day he might return. So when K.P. is washed ashore, rumours are rife that it could be her man," narrates Sathayan with the skill of the masterly raconteur that he is.
The entire film but for a song sequence was shot on Arthungal beach. "The song sequence featuring Nivin and Namitha was shot in Hampi. The lyrics of 'Rajagopuram' seemed apt for that location. I am sure that it will be one of the memorable songs in this film."
Innocent, Siddique, Sidharth Siva, Dharmajan, Chembil Asokan and Malavika enact some of the key roles in the movie. Shifting the conversation to the young Turks in the industry like Aashique Abu, Ranjith Shankar, Samir Tahir, Arun Kumar Aravind and Salim Ahamed, Sathyan says they are creating waves in the industry because they are passionate about the medium and are telling their kind of stories. "I admire their work, their movies and their conviction, but I walk my path," says Sathyan.
He says that while several new-generation films explore the urban spaces and the underbelly of the big cities, Kerala is still a state of villages and ordinary people with dreams of their own. "And that is where I place my stories –tales of hope and terms of endearment."
Ilayaraja composes the music for this film as well, the tenth film they are working on. Sathyan Anthikad and the master composer have been on song since they first worked together for Kochu Kochu Santoshangal. "For almost 30 of my films, it was the late Johnson who composed the music. When I decided to work with Ilayaraja, I informed Johnson and he told me that since it was someone who so much greater than him, he had no complaints whatsoever," reminisces Sathyan. He adds: "During the composing of songs for Manassinakkare, I invited him to Kerala. I was over the moon when he agreed and it was in a houseboat on the Vembanad Lake that the song 'Mele onnu paadi nine' was born. Over the years, our relationship has matured into a warm friendship. Moreover, I make it a point never to misuse any friendship of mine. Perhaps that is my bond with many in the film industry has remained alive all these years." The songs of Puthiya Theerangal have also been composed in Kerala and Sathyan is confident that the songs will be chart toppers.
Chip off the old block
Looks like Sathyan's twins Akhil and Anoop plan to follow in their father's footsteps. While Anoop is polishing his skills in National Institute of Design and winning awards for his work, Akhil has begun assisting his father. He has done the graphics of the titles of Puthiya Theerangal. Eldest son, Arun, however has stayed away from movies so far. "He is an excellent viwer," says Sathyan.

The Grammy Awards has had a long history of ignoring hard rock and heavy metal ever since the genre emerged screaming from the womb of late '60s rock. Consider that such legendary bands as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath never received a single Grammy Award during their existences and years later were only awarded for live recording from their reunion shows. Last night's show seemingly went to lengths to include hard rock and metal with performances by Metallica and Queens Of The Stone Age though metal fans have been rightfully outraged about Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman being excluded from the In Memorium montage. in DJ, author and host of VH1 Classic's That Metal Show, Eddie Trunk is one of hard rock and metal's biggest fans and greatest advocates and has long been critical of the genre's treatment by the mainstream media in general and institutions like The Grammys and The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in particular. We asked Eddie to share his thoughts on last night's show and why the music still never gets the respect it deserves all these years later.
VH1: What are your thoughts about the Grammys in general?
Eddie Trunk: It's clearly a major event for the world of music but it is sorely lacking in the areas of rock and metal and has been for many years. It's embarrassing the decisions and nominations given for rock and metal. They seem to be totally random and lacking any real logic. As a result they mean next to nothing for an artists' career these days as far as a bump in sales and profile. I get that it's a prestigious cool mainstream thing to say you won, but if we are being honest it really means nothing in the big picture for rock and metal sadly. This is not helped by the fact that rarely are these artists represented in the show and most of the rock and metal awards are not even televised. So sure, it's cool for someone to say they won one for the history of it, but because of how lost they are when nominating it has no real impact.
What do you think about Jeff Hanneman from Slayer being excluded from the Grammys Memorial segment?
It's pathetic. It proves again they just have no clue at all when it comes to rock and heavy metal and they continue to demonstrate it.
How do you feel about Black Sabbath winning the Best Metal Performance Grammy for "God Is Dead"?
Black Sabbath invented heavy metal in my opinion. It's great that they won but I would think it is more to do with their history and name recognition than anything else. I'm not saying it's not a good song or album, but everyone knew this would happen because it was by far the most recognizable name for the voters. Good for them, but it was the name and history being celebrated more than anything. I just don't think everyone that voted sat and cranked up an 8 minute song and said "That rocks." But I am happy for them if it's meaningful to them. They are the founding fathers.

World's First Robotic Floor Washer: iRobot Scooba
The Scooba
Like the Roomba (pictured), the Scooba can detect stairs and cliffs, so it doesn't destroy itself or other objects while doing its chores
Similarly the Scooba, like the Roomba (pictured), can reach hard to get places.
May 24, 2005 The company that brought the world's first practical, affordable and viable Robotic Floorvac to market is set to show a next-generation model that simultaneously vacuums, scrubs and dries hard floors. The new iRobot Scooba Robotic Floor Washer will be shown in a "sneak preview" today at The Wall Street Journal's "D: All Things Digital" conference in California. Scooba, a next-generation robot, is designed to vacuum, scrub and dry hard floors automatically. The new robot builds on technology advances from the company's iRobot Roomba Robotic Floorvac. The Roomba and Scooba will be seen in centuries to come as the very first robotic assistants to reach the home - some experts predict the home robotics market will rival the automotive industry in size within 20 years.

Otherwise, the tension of the stays is usually determined by a number of factors, primary among them the type of mast you have, the diameter of the stays and shrouds, the "rake" of the mast, and the type of sailing you do.
Most stays are too slack, i.e. the rig is not optimally tuned. This can be seen on each tack, where the lee shrouds are slack. Too much slack leads to too much mast movement, work hardening, wear and crappy sail performance: The stays are the "ligaments" of the rig, with the mast, hull and chainplates forming the "skeleton" which transfers the power of the wind in the sails to move the boat. Slack stays=poor transfer, wear and eventually failure.
Not to mention the shock loading that can occur with a loose rig... the sudden transfer of the tension and load from one side to the other can cause a catastrophic failure in a gybe, and possibly to the loss of the mast.
Consider borrowing or buying a Loos or other type of tension gauge, and determine the usual rig tensioning for your boat. Check all chainplates FIRST, because you want to ensure that the reason the stays are loose in the first place is because the chainplates are half pulled apart.
I think you meant to say that "you want to ensure that the reason the stays are loose in the first place is
because the chainplates are half-pulled apart." A loose rig due to badly adjusted stays and shrouds is one thing, a loose rig due to failing chainplates is a different beastie altogether.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

They came in thousands, both people and flamingos, to the Sewri Jetty on Saturday afternoon for the seventh edition of the Annual Flamingo Festival conducted by the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS). The 15,000 strong congregation of flamingos, also called a 'flamboyance', once again managed to bowl over the old, young and restless.
Along with informative panels on the pink birds, a bunch of BNHS volunteers helped people see different wetland birds through binoculars and telescopes that had been set up at various points or were being carried around by them.
"The date had been decided upon according to the tide tables, when the flamingos would be out the longest. These migratory birds will be around till June, after which they will head back to Gujarat for their breeding season", said Issac Kehimkar, a BNHS researcher. The flamingos have been visiting Sewri since the past two decades in numbers crossing 20,000 during the winter season.
The two types of flamingos that visit Mumbai are the Greater and Lesser flamingos, of which the latter are smaller in size and more populous than the former. Sewri is one of the most prominent Important Bird Areas in Maharashtra due to the diverse nature of its wetland inhabitants. This fragile ecosystem faces many threats in the form of the proposed Mumbai Trans Harbour Link cutting across the flamingo feeding area and also a possible slow metal poisoning due to the pollution from surrounding industries.
When to go:
You can still go see the flamingos on your own by checking the tide table and planning your visit three hours before or three hours after high tide at the Sewri Jetty.
