Director Reeves completely at home with 'Dawn of Planet of the Apes'
Filmmaker says original 'Apes' his 'Star Wars' growing up
Smack dab in the middle of a summer movie season where most of the films don't require audiences to give their brains a workout, director Matt Reeves clearly has something different in mind for audiences of the sci-fi sequel "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes."
Much like "Dawn's" predecessor "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and the classic films in the "Apes" franchise, Reeves said he wants you to think about what you're seeing.
"The intent behind 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' was to try and honor the tradition of where these films come from," Reeves told me in an interview Thursday. "We wanted to do a movie that was going to entertain you, but that also had ideas and emotion behind it."
Opening nationwide Friday in 2D and 3D theaters, and on large-format screens, "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" is set 10 years after the end of "Rise," when the Earth's human population has been decimated by the human-made Simian Flu virus.
A group of survivors find hope, though, in the redwoods outside of San Francisco, where the chance of restoring power rests in the same area where the highly intelligent ape Caesar (Andy Serkis) and his large band of evolved primates live. First viewing the humans as a threat, Caesar begins to regain trust and allows the humans do their work -- at least until ape and human detractors each find a way to incite a war.
A fan of the original "Planet of the Apes" since he was a kid, Reeves said the 1968 film to him was what "Star Wars" was to others. Finding the original film terrifying, thrilling and intellectually challenging all at the same time, signing on to direct "Dawn" was a no-brainer for the filmmaker. The bonus, Reeves says, was the story and technology that helped jump-start the franchise again in 2011.
"Doing the film was a really special experience in many ways, especially to go back into the world of my childhood because of how big a fan I was of those movies," Reeves explained. "Then as adult, one of the things that I loved about 'Rise' was how the technology and Andy Serkis' performance actually allowed you to become an ape. It changed the perspectives in whole new way. In the original film it was about watching Charlton Heston trying to figure out what was going on and being fascinated by the apes, but in 'Rise,' you actually become Caesar."
Unique new direction
While there are fewer homages to the 1968 "Apes" than there are in "Rise," "Dawn" still refers to its original source material, including scenes of apes on horseback and the use of the iconic edict, "Ape shall not kill ape."
Reeves said weaving the classic material into the "Apes" franchise is exciting because it gives him the opportunity to create fresh stories while laying the groundwork for where the franchise is headed -- the story that propels the 1968 movie.
"For me, the big thing was to try and be aware of entering the 'Apes' universe, but at the same time try to do something we haven't quite seen yet and go along the same trajectory toward the 1968 movie," Reeves explained. "The world of 'Rise' and 'Dawn' is so different than the 1968 movie, so the fun of that is, is to try to imagine how our world becomes the world of the original."
Unlike the reference at the end of "Rise," "Dawn" doesn't mention the manned rocket getting lost in orbit and losing contact with Earth. But Reeves, who is signed on to direct the next "Apes" film, said just because they're didn't talk about the Icarus in "Dawn," doesn't mean the idea of wayward spaceship is lost, well, in space. After all, the return of the spaceship to Earth is what sets the 1968 movie in motion.
"I still find it interesting that when I first got involved in 'Dawn,' somebody asked me if it was boring knowing what the end of the story was, as long as you know that it becomes the world of the 1968 film," Reeves noted. "I said that knowing that world was the most exciting part."
That's because, Reeves explained, the stories being told through the "Rise" and "Dawn" movies "don't tell you about what happened, but about how it happened."
"The idea of exploring the how and the why through Caesar and future generations makes it like an epic, mythic and exciting generational 'Apes' story to me," Reeves said. "I'm actually hoping that we don't get to the 1968 story too soon because there's a rich story to be told along the way, but I definitely want to get there. I think that's the part of the fun of the story, knowing that the Icarus comes back down and the astronauts return not knowing where they are, only to discover the planet that Charlton Heston did in the original. That's in our minds as we're trying to figure out the trajectory and as we're trying to figure out the next story."
For now, though, Reeves is happy to focus mainly on Caesar, especially because of the conflicts he's forced to confront in "Dawn."
"Caesar is such a compelling and interesting hero to be because he's got roots such strong roots in his human side and on his ape's side," Reeves observed. "The idea of having to reconcile that and engage in a war that he never wanted to be a part of, and how his son would react, is interesting. We were thinking, 'Is this sort of the way to do 'The Godfather' with apes or something? Caesar is like Don Corleone, and as we know, 'The Godfather, Part II' was a father-son story with his son becoming the next leader. It's not like we're following that pattern with the 'Apes' films, but we certainly have the same sort of ambition to do character-based stories."
Toying around
While "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" tackles some very serious themes, Reeves said he's been able to have a bit of fun as a fan of the franchise, too, enjoying "Apes" merchandising like the new set of "Dawn" action figures made by the toy and collectibles company NECA.
"I was really excited to see them, and to be honest, my favorite is Maurice (the baboon)," Reeves enthused. "Toys were such a big part of my childhood and imagination growing up."
Noting how a lot of kids grow out of the habit, Reeves said was glad to find company in this writer, as he learned we're about the same age and grew up with the same interests -- namely movies and action figures.
"A lot of times I think toys are just for collectors. It's fun to think that the people who are most excited about it are the kind of people like you and me," Reeves said, laughing.
In a way, Reeves said, the new "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" action figures are like a full-circle expression of what the Mego toy company's "Planet of the Apes" figures meant to him as a child, when he filmed Super 8 movies that starred his favorite plastic playthings.
"I did a weird mash-up of 'Star Wars' and 'Planet of the Apes' where I did a movie called 'Galactic Battles,'" Reeves recalled. "It was a grand space opera, Saturday matinee kind of stuff. I used 'Star Wars' figures, and instead of aliens, there were gorillas."

In this tough economy everyone wants to make sure they're getting their money's worth, especially for luxury expenditures like car audio products. Technically they're not absolute necessities, but of course, we think of subwoofers and so forth as being essential elements in a custom, or any, car!
Most customers when choosing subwoofers are looking for loud, clean and affordable. The main thing to keep in mind when choosing a subwoofer is the type of vehicle you have, the type of music you listen to, and how much space are you willing to sacrifice in the vehicle to fit the subwoofer. There's no way of getting around the loss of space. Aftermarket subs require two things, an amplifier and a box for the subwoofer to mount into. Note for new enthusiasts: You will notice in some cars and trucks that have a factory woofer already installed, that these woofers are designed for filler sound and not for the booming bass most of us are looking for. Also you might wonder why if you already have a factory woofer, factory amp, and a factory cutout why you can't just replace the tiny factory woofer with an aftermarket one and run it off the factory setup. Well, the factory amp is only designed to power the factory woofer; and the factory woofer is designed to be in a free air environment, whereas the aftermarket subwoofers should be put into a box as per the manufacturer's instructions for best performance.
So we're going to look at the PowerBass 12" XL-124D, which most definitely fits one of the main criteria people look at when buying a woofer. That is, it's very affordable ($139). The XL woofer line is designed for the enthusiast that appreciates tight, accurate bass reproduction and it's designed to work well in a small sealed enclosure, or a larger ported box. The XL-124D is a dual 4-ohm woofer that features the company's custom turbine-style frame constructed of polycarbonate and glass fiber. It's a showy basket that should display well, and that supports dual stacked magnets. The XL-124D utilizes a combination of perimeter and pole venting which helps keep air circulating over the voice coil to keep things cool. It has a paper cone for high output with low distortion.
I was pretty excited to test the woofer in two types of enclosures which PowerBass supplied us with (see more below). And I was quite pleased with the terminal screws that seemed to help secure the thicker 12-gauge wire I was using to hook up the dual voice coil setup. Also with the low frequency response between 26hz-450hz and with the nominal power handling from 450RMS/800 Peak, it's easily obtainable with most basic amplifiers, which won't break the bank on a recommended amplifier. The mounting depth on the woofer is within average about 5.5 inches so it will fit in smaller spaces and basic over-the-counter subwoofer boxes.
In this setup I used a 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer with a Pioneer AVIC-N1 head unit to power the system and an Alpine MRP-M1000 mono channel amplifier to power the subwoofer. I also had two boxes to choose from, on was a custom built box which was quite large, and was constructed out of ¾inch MDF and vented to produce about 30 Hz overall, and the other was a basic off-the-shelf ported box which was a little more reasonable in size, and fit nicely in the test vehicle. The vented and ported enclosures are more efficient and result in an increase of bass output at certain frequencies. Although vented and ported enclosures have an output advantage at certain frequencies, they also have a steeper roll off. The amp I was running was an alpine MRP-1000, which is a very common amplifier that isn't too pricey, and will more than handle this woofer with ease. I set up the amplifier gains using a TPI-440 handheld digital oscilloscope and the Autosound 2000 test CD to set the levels of the amp properly for maintaining a nice sine wave to prevent clipping. All of these parts were easily obtained through Mobile Solutions website.
After setting the gains on the amplifiers I put in my Outkast CD and tuned to some heavy bass tracks like "The Way You Move" and tried the woofer in both boxes.
I was impressed by the performance in the different enclosures. The bass response was significantly more noticeable in the custom built box, as you might expect, but both boxes helped the woofer perform well even under high pressure. In both cases the woofer was wired in parallel to bring the ohm rating down to 2 ohms. I had to adjust the frequency on the amp a little when the sub was in the custom built box to get the optimum sound and eliminate some distortion that I was hearing, but a little damping material in the box did help to reduce the sonic reflection inside the box. When I switched the subwoofer to the generic box, which was a little more reasonable in size, by comparison I did enjoy the sound much more, as it had a little tighter bass response.
Overall in both box configurations the sub did perform well after some slight tweaking on the amp frequency side, but the sound did improve much more as the sub woofer was broken in, which the manufacturer recommends about 40 hours at 1/3 the excursion which is how far the woofer extends out during the bass notes. I did prefer the generic box over the custom built one hands down, but part of the reason for that was based on the convenience of the smaller size and finish of the box. This is much more of a real-world application and I took that into consideration. If you want big impact you'll enjoy the XL-124D in the larger ported box, but you will have to sacrifice significant space. Of course, you could have both, as we did for the evaluation and switch according to type of use. This subwoofer did work very well in either configuration. In the right type of box, this woofer will boom! And if you're looking for value bass, this subwoofer will definitely serve. For the price, this is the right deal.

Gulf Coast Upgrade
A version of this article appears in the July/August 2011 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
July 01, 2011
Affordable and efficient can co-exist — even after a disaster
Unless you've experienced it yourself, it's hard to imagine the many ways in which postdisaster reality completely alters the conventional patterns of daily life. This is especially true in the wake of severely damaging natural disasters that affect an entire region. In the case of hurricanes Katrina and Rita—which wreaked havoc along the Gulf Coast from Florida to Texas in late August and late September 2005—individual lives, whole communities, and local businesses experienced personal and professional chaos, dislocation, and loss. This dramatically transformed operating landscapes and posed humbling challenges on a scale, and for a period of time, that would have been previously unimaginable for everyone involved.

Surprise: New Insurance Fee in Health Overhaul Law
WASHINGTON (AP) - Your medical plan is facing an unexpected new fee. It's to help cover people with pre-existing conditions under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
The $63-per-head fee - buried in a recent regulation -will hit health plans serving an estimated 190 million Americans, mostly workers and their families. It's payable starting in 2014.
Employers are not happy. The cost of compliance works out to tens of millions of dollars for the largest companies, maybe a few hundred for small firms. Most of that will get passed on to workers.
The Obama administration says the money will cushion health insurance companies from the hard-to-predict costs of covering uninsured people with pre-existing conditions, so society will benefit in the long run.
The fee is temporary, raising $25 billion over three years.

T. Rowe Price's doctor is in–and diagnosing where the best stock picks can be found in the healthcare sector as reforms take hold next year.
According to Mark Bussard, a research analyst in the U.S. Equity Division for the Baltimore-based asset manager who earned his medical degree at the University of Virginia, the healthcare sector's returns have outpaced the market over a multiyear period, but that the sector's outlook for 2013 depends on the success of reforms that will start taking place in President Obama's second term.
Winners under reform will include companies and business models that have offered free medical services to patients until now but that can expect reimbursement under the Affordable Care Act, Bussard said. These include Medicaid, hospitals, healthcare information technology and volume-driven low-margin businesses.
While there are no absolute losers, he said, mixed results will be seen in the managed care, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and medical devices sectors.
"However, opportunities are plentiful in all groups because winners often are underappreciated and losers overly discounted," Bussard said at a 2013 investment and economic outlook briefing in New York on Nov. 20.
The T. Rowe Price healthcare team agrees that the days of indiscriminate spending are over, and the sector next year will face greater headwinds as entitlement reform tackles U.S. healthcare's massive fiscal liabilities.
On the up side, medical innovation will drive "significant" shareholder value, provided it delivers a clinical benefit, according to Bussard, who was a co-founder of Rivanna Pharmaceuticals, an early stage biotechnology firm, before he joined T. Rowe Price in 2005.
As of Sept. 30, T. Rowe Price Health Sciences Fund (PRHSX) average annual total returns were 35.25% year to date, 47.93% for the one-year period, 22.85% for three years, 11.20% for five years and 14.69% for 10 years. The fund's total net assets are 31.7% invested in biotechnology, 26.5% in services and 22.7% in pharmaceuticals.
The fund's top holdings include Gilead Sciences (GILD), whose HIV medicines Bussard credits for dramatically improving patient outcomes and transforming the standard of care of HIV therapy, and Catamaran (CTRX), a pharmacy benefits manager and established Medicare Part D player.
At the outlook briefing, Bussard also gave favorable mentions to Edwards (EW), whose transcatheter valve improves patient outcomes at lower cost, and Intuitive Surgical (ISRG), whose robotic surgery system also improves patient outcomes at lower cost.

Comics 991-992: Ten Years!
The going theory on this one is thatt itt is meant to be a reference to the imminent re-re-re-re-re-release of Star Wars (ONE LAST TIME), this time in 3D! WOO 3D! YEAH! I guess the joke is thatt these people have been waitting for sometthing like ten years? And are still waitting? Is this meant to be funny? I can't really tell how.
Look att me! I'm making a list of LOLRANDOM humor, coupled witth various geeky mnemonics! This time the mnemonics are also slightly geeky! OOOO!
I have gone on record before saying thatt I hatte this fucking shottgun humor. Itt doesn't help his case thatt some of the existing mnemonics are already reasonably amusing--"King Philip Came Over For Good Sex?" Thatt's seriously the mnemonic you're replacing witth your boring alternattives aboutt Katty Perry and kernel panics?
Itt turns outt thatt if you throw enough jokes outt there, some of them will stick. WHO KNEW?

There is a whole sub color range of brown, or any other color really. Black Brown is a color, and so is White Brown (some call this Yellow-Bone).
My favorite brown is Neon-Brown. You can make this color yourself by combining Hot Pink and Neon Green (absorptive combine, not emissive).

"Black brown" is like "African American": you dilute background and suggest some sort of affinity to the USA by adding "American" then allowing them the privileges any second class citizen deserves.ReplyDelete
Notice how "White" doesn't have "American" after it because "White" is primary colour for America.
Randy's strip is a bulwark in the Western caucasian hegemony, his comma and comic omission doubly doubly so.

The French concours system is absurd. Instead of actually admitting you on your potential then passing you on your ability, a huge group are admitted to a year of teaching then ~80% expelled after the first year (similar in later years) based on intermediate exam marks relative to others. At the end you have in many schools the absurd situation where only the top 40 scores are allowed, say, to go into surgery - it doesn't matter whether you have a specific aptitude or interest in surgery.ReplyDelete
The whole "entrance coaching" system is bullshit and doesn't produce good practitioners - it produces good exam-passers. I know this because I am a good exam-passer.

On the subject of entrance testing, I had a good grasp of English, Spanish, French, German, Latin and Russian by my 15th birthday. I did an MCAT, used as a pre-interview filter for some uni courses, and scored well. I also found a practice test for something called the "DLAB" which is used to screen potential Americunt military linguists - I failed horribly. (Thank goodness I wasn't planning a US military career.)ReplyDelete
The latter test involves three or four very narrow exercises, and the opinion is that your ability to become an effective foreign linguist is measurable based on your performance on these exercises. The crowning bullshit is the requirement to multiple-choice-select the "correct" spoken sentence based on an increasing number of rules which modify English as she is normally spoken, e.g.
"Adjectives come after the nouns they're describing."
"All verbs end with an 'oh' sound."
So ten questions in you're supposed to have retained all these rules and be able to instantly apply them to reject sentences which do not conform to all rules presented so far. You hear each sentence only once, and do not get to see it in written form.
This essentially wipes out everyone who learns primarily by reading/writing or visually or by pattern-matching. Languages are easy not because they're full of random rules created by little quiz-writing Hitlers but because almost everything about them makes sense if you take a while to understand their development.
Take another more obvious human endeavour: law. No lawyer treats the law as an arbitrary list of legislation and cases. Common law countries employ and evolve well-known principles, some narrowly and some very broadly applicable, upon which decisions are based. The more you read about the law, the more you understand the interpretation and nuances of these principles. If someone were to suddenly announce for shits that specific random cases had been decided differently then the law would likely lose an element of consistency and sense. A lawyer would need to understand the reason for the change and to examine all cases which rely on its ratio.
We all know that the modern US military is nothing more than a tool for a few powerful special interests. But it still provides an opportunity for intelligent people to do some of the things they enjoy. Why do these intelligent people tolerate bullshit aptitude testing?

In order to ensure you are both intelligent, and capable of putting up with nonsensical regulations and red-tape.
- AnonymousDecember 20, 2011 at 6:30 PM
It seems to me that the test won't ensure that you're intelligent, only that you've either (a) practiced or (b) enjoy innate ability in some rather obscure skill. The Internet existing as it does for finding out anything anyone's ever done before, it's almost certain to be (a). So I guess that's where the non-sensical/red-tape thing comes in: you're got to see it coming even if you're technically breaking the spirit of the hurdle.ReplyDelete
But you may still find such a narrow test difficult even though you excel at the ability which is supposedly under test. It's like testing whether you're a good musician by how well you can sing some avant garde piece presented before you: you may be a first class musician with shit for voice. Or you may simply fall over when presented with a non-standard piece which follows none of the usual musical conventions to which you have honed your singing skill.
Psychometric testing seems to me to be a dangerous way of homogenising brains, taking the selection process out of the hands of individual colleges/businesses/government departments and giving responsibility to increasingly dead psychologists. Fifty years ago we were still in a dark age of psychiatry and psychology: we pigeon-holed, we locked up and we treated with extreme prejudice. Yet when it comes to measures of the potential of able men we have barely moved on. On the contrary, we're racing right back to the start of last century in this and almost every other way we regard and treat the average man.

In almost every case, I don't think the test says anything useful (and certainly nothing permanent) about the ~95% of people who've done worse than me nor the ~5% who do better.

Instead of putting out 2 mildly amusing ones and 4 terrible mnemonics, he could have just taken panel 1, make the second mnemonic the alt text, and have that be a comic for a day. Same with panel 6 if he could make the mnemonic less awkward (I think you're allowed to put a "the" in the middle even though "T" isn't one of the letters).ReplyDelete
Less work for him, it wastes less of his readers' time, he'd have 2 comics in the end instead of 1, and without all the extra baggage they'd be slightly funnier. It could even be a recurring gag, supposing he actually puts some thought into the mnemonics instead of just putting random words together.
- AnonymousDecember 21, 2011 at 6:03 AM
(I'm the same as anon 5:44 above.)ReplyDelete
I should also add that his mnemonics are too awkward and long to be useful. The resistor one is a good example - that's a long group of words that's not a sentence anyone would ever say. Memorizing that thing would be harder than just memorizing the colors.
That's the elegance (if you will) of "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally." It's an actual sentence that someone might say, and it has a certain cadence that makes it memorable. I used to tutor jr high and high school math and I would use it all the time - not only does it show the order of operations, but it helps explain the entire concept of doing math in a way that's not directly left-to-right (lots of students have trouble with the idea that math is not like reading).
It's actually a great idea for comics with decent (and dirty or otherwise funny) mnemonic devices for science concepts. If they were useful, it'd be all that much more funny. Too bad the execution sucked on so many level.
Also, we didn't get "King Phillip Came Over For Good Sex" in school since the area was pretty Christian. We got something about frogs that I could never remember, so I just had to memorize.

What fuckery is 993? This is the kind of bullshit I'd have felt very clever for coming up with when I was six. These products exist, and they're called every supermarket's generic line of products.ReplyDelete
IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWNReplyDelete
randall's wacky fantasy is to make the blandest brands imaginable, which requires no effort or creativity. how zanyReplyDelete
Even as someone who enjoys XKCD from time to time, 993 is utterly dumb. Besides the fact that supermarkets already market very plain packages for their value products anyway, the presentation of the comic is complete and utter straw man argument - no well-researched product is that illegible on the shelf, not to mention most products of any considerable size (cereal, drinks, bread) are often given more width on the shelf than one space. But shhhhh, best not dwell on logic, Randy's brain might explode...ReplyDelete

No one's mentioned this yet, but the original title of the comic was 'Brand Awareness'. Randy of course changed this without letting anyone know even though he has implied in the past (can't find the comic) he is above do-overs.ReplyDelete
Also South Park sucks would be awesome. I mean, I love South Park a shit ton, but there has been a steady decrease in the ratio of good:bad episodes, and the bad episodes are definitely worse than they were before.
Come to think of it, I've never watched an episode of South Park, so a hate blog about it probably wouldn't be that fun for me.ReplyDelete
So I guess the target audience for hate blogs is people who hate something but watch/read it anyway. How we love to hate.

I think we all just enjoy the idea of a hate blog in general. I love reading reviews of the newer Dexter episodes on the AV Club, but I've never seen an episode of the show. The reason is because every single review just destroys the show and points out how absolutely shitty it has become-- kinda like this blog. What it boils down to is entertainment.ReplyDelete
Dexter is one of the few shows I watch. I'll definitely check out AV Club.ReplyDelete

Store brands in Australia pretty much already had Randall's hilarious idea. I mean, they do display a "Home Brand" or "No Frills" or whatever logo, but they're basically colourless and the prominent part of the label is just the standard name for the product. So, I dunno, the latest xkcd just leaves me a little surprised that nobody in America is doing the same thing.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 23, 2011 at 12:01 AM
993: there's no joke at all here... it's just "here's an interesting idea I thought up while at the store yesterday". at least he put a modicum of effort into the art.ReplyDelete
problems with the idea
- pretty sure he used purposefully dull colors in the image so that the white would stand out more. in real life white doesn't stand out any more than any other color
- also, in real life, supermarket shelves are white too, not dark grey
- people wouldn't want to buy this stuff because it looks shady as fuck
- pretty sure randy doesn't know what "brand identity" means and that this is the opposite of one
- if he's implying that this will work because it's hard to find these things at the store due to labels being confusing, well that's not true
- if this would work, people would be doing it already
994: there's no joke here. it's just... two different things put together, one of which is topical, the other which is nerdy omg!!! <3 ^__^
The latest comic is another manifestation of Randy's feeding fetish. It won't be long before xkcd will turn into Boston and Shaun with shittier art.ReplyDelete
I think Randall saw "Repo Man" and how everybody in the movie eats or drinks generic food, thought "cool", and made strip 993.ReplyDelete
- weaselsoupDecember 23, 2011 at 3:22 AM
it's probably UHT long life milk that doesn't need to be in the fridge. not that that makes the thing any less stupid. Maybe he read where people complained about the things in bags in that other shopping 'comic' just being round blobs and thought hah. I'll show them I CAN draw cylinders and boxes too and I can COLOUR THEM IN what's more.and then having decided that he had to find a 'joke' to go with it.ReplyDelete
the Advent calendar one clearly illustrates the comic writing process. 'Ahh it's still 11:55. Plenty of time to write tomorrow's comic.'
i just clicked random & got comic 3 which is a really shit drawing of an island. It's fucking embarrassing that this guy once looked at shit drawings like that and thought they were worth showing off about.

No wonder everyone gets stressed out and feudal oven the holidays. It's ironic really: This year I tallied up how much I would spend on shite, then donated it all to several children's charities, and somehow got labeled a Grinch for doing so because I didn't put my efforts towards wasteful needless gifts for people that need nothing in life...

"I took the kids for their flu shots (regular and H1N1) this morning, before school.
"Frank always goes nuts when he gets a shot. I tried to bribe them by offering ice cream if they behaved. We walked in and Frank started wailing and yelling uncontrollably. He got louder when the nurse told us that he would have to have 2 shots because of his asthma.
"Craig and Marie were able to get 1 nasal mist and 1 shot. After they found out that they were going to have to get a shot (although we've been telling them for the last week!) they started crying. Frank was already nuts so I just had him go first. He was crying and yelling, but took the shots.
"Craig grabbed his chair and refused to let go. A nurse and I had to pry him off it. We almost broke his fingers. He screamed and cried through his shot.
"Then Marie started screeching and screaming and yelling during her shot. A doctor and another nurse from the office came running into the room to find out what was happening. They wouldn't leave even after we assured then that everything was okay. I kept expecting the police, fire department, and CPS to come rushing in.
"When we were done I said to the kids, "What do you say"? Frank and Marie said, "Thank you". Craig yelled, "Thank you for trying to kill me!"
"They stopped crying as soon as they got a sucker. When they got to the car, they all told me that it didn't hurt.
"I think we owe that office a lunch."

Check U010B Engine Code
When you check engine light came on code U010B the reason should be . However your vehicle's manufacturer may have a different definition for the U010B OBD-II Diagnostic Network (U) Trouble Code. So you should chech it on our car models.
U010B code can be about replacing a broken oxygen sensor can eventually lead to a busted catalytic convertor which can cost upwards of $2,000. Taking your car into a shop will cost you around $200 depending on the car. However, an oxygen sensor is easy to replace on many cars and is usually detailed in the owner's manual. If you know where the sensor is, you only have to unclip the old sensor and replace it with a new one. Regardless of how you approach it, you should get this fixed right away.
U010B Possible Solution:
The crankshaft sensor signals the fuel injection computer or the ignition control when the cylinders are firing. This causes the ignition coil to provide a spark and the injector to inject fuel into each cylinder at the right time.If either sensor isn't working correctly, the car will run rough and the engine will be less efficient. In later car models, the car's computer can usually keep the vehicle running, but the engine warning light on the dashboard goes on to warn the driver.
U010B Code Meaning :
|OBD-II Diagnostic Network (U) Trouble Code For Engine
|Intake Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Low
|Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too High
|Cold Start Injector 1 Malfunction
Regarding the U010B code, it would probably be worthwhile to carefully inspect the wire harness near the intake manifold bracket. This is done most easily from below the car in the area near the oil filter.
U010B OBD-II Diagnostic Network (U) Trouble Code DescriptionU010B engine trouble code is about .
Reason For U010B CodeThe reason of U010B OBD-II Engine Trouble Code is Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too High.
Parts or components should not be replaced with reference to only a U010B DTC. The vehicle service manual should be consulted for more information on possible causes of the fault, along with required testing.

Symantec Security Response encourages all users and administrators to adhere to the following basic security "best practices":
- Use a firewall to block all incoming connections from the Internet to services that should not be publicly available. By default, you should deny all incoming connections and only allow services you explicitly want to offer to the outside world.
- Enforce a password policy. Complex passwords make it difficult to crack password files on compromised computers. This helps to prevent or limit damage when a computer is compromised.
- Ensure that programs and users of the computer use the lowest level of privileges necessary to complete a task. When prompted for a root or UAC password, ensure that the program asking for administration-level access is a legitimate application.
- Disable AutoPlay to prevent the automatic launching of executable files on network and removable drives, and disconnect the drives when not required. If write access is not required, enable read-only mode if the option is available.
- Turn off file sharing if not needed. If file sharing is required, use ACLs and password protection to limit access. Disable anonymous access to shared folders. Grant access only to user accounts with strong passwords to folders that must be shared.
- Turn off and remove unnecessary services. By default, many operating systems install auxiliary services that are not critical. These services are avenues of attack. If they are removed, threats have less avenues of attack.
- If a threat exploits one or more network services, disable, or block access to, those services until a patch is applied.
- Always keep your patch levels up-to-date, especially on computers that host public services and are accessible through the firewall, such as HTTP, FTP, mail, and DNS services.
- Configure your email server to block or remove email that contains file attachments that are commonly used to spread threats, such as .vbs, .bat, .exe, .pif and .scr files.
- Isolate compromised computers quickly to prevent threats from spreading further. Perform a forensic analysis and restore the computers using trusted media.
- Train employees not to open attachments unless they are expecting them. Also, do not execute software that is downloaded from the Internet unless it has been scanned for viruses. Simply visiting a compromised Web site can cause infection if certain browser vulnerabilities are not patched.
- If Bluetooth is not required for mobile devices, it should be turned off. If you require its use, ensure that the device's visibility is set to "Hidden" so that it cannot be scanned by other Bluetooth devices. If device pairing must be used, ensure that all devices are set to "Unauthorized", requiring authorization for each connection request. Do not accept applications that are unsigned or sent from unknown sources.
- For further information on the terms used in this document, please refer to the Security Response glossary.
The following instructions pertain to all current and recent Symantec antivirus products for Macintosh.
1. To update the virus definitions
Symantec Security Response fully tests all the virus definitions for quality assurance before they are posted to our servers. There are two ways to obtain the most recent virus definitions:
2. To scan for and delete the infected files

1. To update the virus definitions
Symantec Security Response fully tests all the virus definitions for quality assurance before they are posted to our servers. There are two ways to obtain the most recent virus definitions:
- Running LiveUpdate, which is the easiest way to obtain virus definitions: These virus definitions are posted to the LiveUpdate servers once each week (usually on Wednesdays), unless there is a major virus outbreak. To determine whether definitions for this threat are available by LiveUpdate, refer to the Virus Definitions (LiveUpdate).
- Downloading the definitions using the Intelligent Updater: The Intelligent Updater virus definitions are posted on U.S. business days (Monday through Friday). You should download the definitions from the Symantec Security Response website and manually install them. To determine whether definitions for this threat are available by the Intelligent Updater, refer to the Virus Definitions (Intelligent Updater).
2. To scan for and delete the infected files
- Start your Norton AntiVirus or Symantec Endpoint Protection for Macintosh program and make sure that it is configured to scan all files.
- Run a full system scan.
- If any files are detected, click Repair (if available) or Delete.
