I just want R. Kelly back...
Listen to Trey Songz "Death Of Autotune Kellz"
That's right baby, let'em know bout that history! People talkn shit bout stuff they know nothing of. I'd say you've been killing every1 in the game lately...THE END!
this shit goes so hard!
yes i understand you completely. i'm tired of arguing with people telling them that its not a diss record. and if they didn't see your broadcast this morning then they wouldn't understand. people are idiots and like taking things way out of proportion. don't let the haters stop you. they only adding fuel to your fire,babe. i'll still rock with you til the end.
I support good music, its gonna do what it do, hey it is what it is, I dont see the big deal, everybody do themselves and do it to the best of your ability, I expect nothing less...love u trey...smooches
No need to explain, If Kellz isnt bothered (I am assuming not because he has responded) then everyone else should fall back...Its like Kanye said a yr ago about Rihanna forcing Beyonce to step her game up...thats needed or Artists become too comfortable and no longer satisfy the fans...
Keep doing you babe
i'm not gonna lie, when i first heard the song, i was like "wow, i didnt know him and r.kelly were beefing". But i do understand where you are coming from and its nothing wrong with expressing yourself. People are gonna talk regardless tho, but im sure you already know that :)
Thank You for clearing things up.. Those that are not true fans talked shit about D.O.A.... but thanks for giving them some history..
Dearest Trey,
You are so right...but I actually like auto-tone..it sounds so futuristic and yes, people over use it..but perhaps this is how they choose and prefer to express themselves. I get what you are saying though. Keep on keeping it real boo*
Well...sometimes the truth hurts...But it is the truth, nonetheless...
"If throwing rocks at the throne wakes up the king, consider them thrown" I love that line, and yep I agree. Im tired of the auto-tune. I havent heard the mixtape, but im sure its not great at all. keep doing what you doin, im sure if kellz hears DOA, he'll continue to do what he SHOULD be doing.
I was watching you live when u was talking about this and all that you said is so true. And like you said if this is what you have to do to get Kellz back then it is what it is. But yo you went HAM on this track
I feel T. Songz on this. R. Kelly's desperation to get back on the scene is what, I believe, caused him to wanna use autotune. Its not that he thought it was new and hott, and wanted to try it out. As a matter of fact, autotune have been out forever. Artist use it alot, but it was recently popularized by T-pain. When he initially came out with it, he was criticized for not being a real singer...NO EVERYBODY AND THEY MAMA WANNA USE IT. What Trey is saying is, he needs to stick to his craft and what he knows rather than following the trend of what the younger generations are doing.
At the end of the day, autotune is gonna be played out. But Kells will forever have his voice and individual style and that is what he needs to stick with. Mary J. Blidge recently did a song using autotune....NO COMMENT. People just need to stay in their lane.
Much Luv Trey...YUUUUUP!!!
I so agree being in the older generation to remember R.Kelly in the beginning of his career with Public Announcent and Aaron Hall when he broke away from GUY to do his solo thing. Its just different!!
Yes I understand we all want the real R kelly that can sang his ass off to come back. However I don't believe it is the death of the auto-tones because both T-pain and Kayne West whole Albums are auto-toned and even Kayne West latest video is in auto-tones and he produces for Jayz. So somebody is being a phony (at Kayne west and Jay Z) which is not cool at all.
GO THANKSGIVING HAM BABY!! Kells do him and you just do you. You still got your fans to hold you down.
I personally think ur track is hott. And YOU KNO But ppl are goigoing to hear it and make it out to be more than what they rlly are. Don't let the media get a hold to it! They love making things controversial and ppl eat that isht UP! I agree with u 100%. That autotune is irritating ALL of the time! Ppl say Kanye did it on his album, BUT I think he rlly did it saying "ok...y'all wanna play w/autotunes...lemme show y'all how it's REALLY supposed to be done!" Hopefully he (R.Kelly) doesn't take offense and reads b/w the lines to get the msg. If not...to hell wit him! lol, the more he continues to NOT b the original R.Kelly that we all loved, the more he's going to fade away. You just make sure your ass don't go singing wit that bullisht!!! lol Your voice is beautiful and I wanna hear it the way its supposed to sound! :)
I have to disagree Trey! I love you and all your music however times are chanGing. Why is everyone so afraid of Change!Auto Tune Has been pumping up the music industry and getting plenty of airtime. Just like people said down south music was dumb and lame however songs like Stanky leg and Swagg Surfin, or Gucci Mane and his crew and are taking over the radios and clubs. A slong as the music listeners are satisfied thats all that matters.
I want my R.Kelly back too! If you are the King, there is no need to act like the Jester, IMO. Kellz created a whole boxed collection that help- to create alot of the new millenium babies that listen to Trey, As a fan of both, I can appreciate what Trey has done. Hopefully Kellz takes note and comes back harder. There is still room for both.
This whole thing has vexed my spirit lol hionestly i think yes it was disrespectful because i feel as if Kellz has been in the game for a while now. He has established great history to the point where he could do what he wants. R. Kelly is getting older and it's to the point where using auto tune has become a trend for most artist, so i say hell if that's what is then by all means let him do what he wants. No one made a big deal about it wj=hen wayne started to use it. when we all know t pain brought it back, when it was originally Zap and Roger! Trey and several other artist has used auto tune...and so what . Hov acn kellz den had their dsagreements , but yet and still Hov has been in the game for a min as well, much longer than Trey. I love and adore Trey and his music very much and never will stop, but i just feel some things are better left alone. If Kelly den made it this far n the game then im pretty sure he doesn't need nobody to wake him up. R. kelly is a genuine atist and i that's what initially grabbed my attention to Trey as an artist cause his lyrical demenoir was much more simlar to kelly's. then i later learned he looked up to him.
I must agree with you TREY, that R.Kelly must come harder. I have much love for Kells but autotune under rates who he is as an artist.Kells can't expect to be as revelant as he was b4 the hiatus with shit we alreay being oversaturated in. You got to GO HAM OR STAY HOME!!!! YUUUUUUP
Alright i dunno if u read comments, but let me say this...Trey u startin 2 fall into the catagories of all the other R&B artists. I mean i was a fan as soon as u came out even ur underground shit (young n heartless mixtape) I gotta make it was a fuckn classic. Even though u didnt get the reck u deserved u killed that shit. The whole cd had meaning, it had balance, it was about a bunch of shit other then jus sex. Dnt get me wrong i love sex more then the next nig (PAUSE) but my nigga i kno u got more substance then that on a cd, i mean seriously trey day showed no growth as an artist....Seemed like u were jus tryna sell records. Every song was bout sex, now im hearing all ur remixs (covers) they all about sex, or fuckn a chick in hotel room...Thats all good my nigga, but damn wheres the variety at? U the nicest R&B dude out real talk, ur voice is gonna put u on top of the game (pause) but as a REAL FAN of your past work all im askin is can we get some more variety i mean im a Male listenin 2 ur music, i kno u look out for the ladies n what not my nig, But trey day didnt have no songs like (comin for you, hatin love, gotta go, gotta make it, kinda lovin) all those songs were classic hits in my eyes. Shit i hope u got back 2 what u used 2 make instead of this mainstream stuff man. Good luck with the next album i hope its fire like the 1st one
Boy please! And who are you to tell another artist they need to get it together. Why don't you focus on your own career that isn't no more than D-list. You are not anywhere near R. Kelly's status. Your catalog looks NOTHING like his. He made timeless classics. I highly doubt he needs your advice. For you to try to downplay R.Kelly with the comparison...please. After his Public Announcement days he bought his OWN style...Ya know, the style you try so hard to imitate. Good publicity stunt but....Epic fail, Trey.
Why didn't I know about this blog??? Lol, well you have surpassed this guy KELLS, so who cares what he thinks or feel. I love him too, but I have been nothing, but disappointed with his last album and that horrid mixtape (thumbs down)! With each album you have grown and I am so happy that you are continuing to grow as an artist ;) Much success with your career and I will continue to be following....much love baby!
Very deep. That really getz you thinking. Maybe people are now-a-dayz focusing on getting money and doing that "thing" that makes it. Instead of making something brand new that riskz standing out and having to work harder to maintain. I understand everything is recycled. The world has been going on forever. You still can put your heart and soul into something and make it yourz. I enjoyed that blog. I believe I'm goin to come back for more. Thanks for that =] Your very talented and your voice is heaven. I love your music.
"n everybody talks, n everybody listens, n sumhow the truth just always ends up missing..."
when u first posted the track i knew it was gonna start trouble...i love you and i understand your reasoning for the track but at the same time the words were so harsh (arguably) that of course people half listening would take it out of context...you want the old Kellz back but you as an artist yourself you should know that people reinvent themselves over time..whether we as listeners like it or not. Lets not forget, Kellz is a legend in the game, he can use autotune if and as MUCH as he chooses...At the end of the day I love the track, i love you and been a fan since I first saw your "Gotta Make it" vid on BET, and in my eyes you are the king of the REMIX and of R&B. Wear that crown proud baby the fans love you and everything you do.
I've been going HAM on blog sites all morning trying to get your point across. The media is going to portray this issue as more than what it is naturally because that is what they do. People are going to side with R.Kelly instantly because they aren't familiar with how hard you work or how talented you are. As a fan I know what measures you take to make sure people respect your name and your craft, and it isn't easy. You show us mad love and always let it known that your appreciative of us as well. MOST artists fail to do so. They label you as cocky and arrogant and bash you for taking a blow at a Legend. I believe that if making this track to wake up someone who is more than capable of producing good music is the way to let the rest of R&B know that your coming STRONG and HUNGRY than so be it.
"I'm still hungry, you must be full" is DEF a true statement.
I've been a fan since day one..i idolize your talent, maturity and humbleness as an artist and as a person. This uproar don't scare me none...cuz at the end of the day I know you will still succeed.
I can't stress it enough...people better wake up and smell the coffee and realize that quality music still does exist. Prepare for Trey Songz to deliver that.
Get familiar...and GET READY. 8/04
I am not familiar with the music game other than I recognize good music when I hear it which enables me to support artist like you and R. Kelly. Whether it's auto tune or any other sounds that are used to make a record, songs from both of you and artist like you have inspired, lifted and gave hope to many adoring fans across the world. Don't take lightly the people "fans" that look up to both of you and who may the next"king" or "queen" of R&B. Let's remember why you got into this game.
beautifully written :) .. but u are def about to catch shit for this..
Hmmm... I'm a fan of Songz but here's my thoughts--> http://www.sound-savvy.com/2009/06/trey-songz-death-of-autotune-kellz.html
In my opjunion your intentions and the actual song differ so greatly. You say that you want to bring the best in Kells back out. The song is not a good representation of that. The song is called DEATH of kells, not rebirth. Im sure that R Kelly may come back harder, that is if he even gives a F, and show why he's been in the game so long. But this song seems like its "you" coming for his spot, and claiming his title. To say it was done for "him" so that he would go harder on his next songs, would be giving your song way too much credit.
I totally agree with you Songz!
I'm a fan of your music and I agree I grew up listing to 90s music and today's music to me sound like crap jmo. It's like no one is being creative anymore autotune to me is like the voicebox that Roger Troutman, Teddy Riley, and Devante Swing used to use then when people burned that into the ground lets use autotune.
I meant *opinion
Trey Baby...Ive been following you since 05' and you've just been getting greater. Can't wait for your album to drop.
ur #1 fan Mika
i know u didnt diss rkelly i think rkelly should be who he is rkelly has beautiful voice he dont need autotune i agree with u trey i want tda real rkelly back too trey
Let me break this down real quick...when it comes to "Trey making music bout sex & nothing else!" <---That shit ain't true...PERIOD, but if it was..isn't that what R&B has ALWAYS portrayed?! Even the love songs, that had CLEVER ways of breaking down shit that all lead to what?! SEX!!! [CASE CLOSED!!!]
It's called "DEATH OF AUTOTUNE KELLZ" not "DEATH OF KELLZ".....some of yall are taking this shit outta context! READ!!!
Imma say it again THE BOY IS A BEAST!!!!
...it is very strange to me how BET (well media in general) takes something so small and runs with it. Look what it did for Tupac and Biggie, it's very sad. Trey made a very good point and a even better statement by releasing this song.
Look what happens when some of our greats (New Edition, Monica, Charlie Wilson and even Luther) try to "keep up with the times" they forget what made them hot in the beginning. Or even Usher with his latest album or as I like to call it "let me hurry up and put some songs together on this album before people forget who I am album casue right now Chris Brown is running things" album. And yes I'll even say that goes for Beyonce too. Her last LP was no where near what we've come to expect from her. It was good, but it wasn't GREAT like we know she can be. When these "legends" see someone else moving into their "spotlight" they get defensive and stupid and do stupid things like put out a stupid project and expect fans to go along with it. No we're not, "REAL FANS" are going to be upfront and honest with you and let you know that sh*t was wack so try it again.
2009 and beyond doesn't need the "artist formally known as R. Kelly," it needs the "Half on a Baby" R. Kelly. Some people need that extra fire under their butt to realize what they are doing wrong, and R. Kelly knew he was wrong for that autotune mixtape. So like Trey said, "If throwing rocks at the throne wakes up the King, consider them thrown....I just want R. Kelly back..."
It's called "DEATH OF AUTOTUNE KELLZ" not "DEATH OF KELLZ".....some of yall are taking this shit outta context! READ!!!
"TREY SONGZ - DEATH OF KELLZ AUTOTUNE http://tinyurl.com/DOAKELLZ
about 12 hours ago from web"
(this is what TREY posted on his own personal twitter page)
So personally I'm gonna go with what the artist who wrote the song called...originally...
^^^ I feel that but it ain't just "DEATH OF KELLZ"! <---LIKE BY ITSELF, FEEL ME?
I think you made your point very well. I also can understand the views of the Kellz fan [love r kelly always have always will] BUT there is a major difference in reinventing yourself and just straight up band wagon shit. Auto tune should have been kept as a nice little effect for ad libs; it wasnt meant for niggas to make entire songs with. Seriously, there is no defending that bull. Why does it always have to come down to beef? Why can't people just see it as two artist having some healthy competition to bring the best out of each other. ::sigh: the media fucks everything up.......always a bad apple.
Great remixes Trey, keep doing your thing and [let me ride the bad wagon for a quick sec] go ham! lol
Lol, your fans go hard... that's all I can say. I loved D.O.A Kellz, it is what it is... if you hurt some Kellz fans oh well, YOUR fans enjoy your music and thats all that matters. No need to explain, just keep doing your thing and making that music that we love.
Plus... autotone from a singer is kinda wack... ;0D
I feel you..
anyways this is friendly competition .you are doing your job which is to make good music & fight for that number one spot.so anybody who was offended is type stupid...!!! gooo songzz !
Good points! I don't fuck with Kellz, 'cause he's a pedophile, but you definitely did a great job describing what he's done musically for better and worse over the years. Most folks let that Aaron Hall swagger jacking time period of his go by without a mention, as well as the Lenny Williams riff. Props to you for knowing what you speak of!
I'm sorry Trey, but I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one. I definitely think that you were trying to diss R.Kelly. You basically gave him a backhanded compliment. If you felt this way about R.Kelly, I think that you should have reached out to him. Called him on the phone or something. Like, "Yo Kellz I need to holla at you about something". Trey, just keep it real you just wanted some publicity. lol It's funny how you're talking sh*t about him, but you've previously worked with R.Kelly. R.Kelly, is a legend! He doesn't have to prove himself to anyone. He's been in the game, when you had milk on your breath. I just think that certain things aren't necessary. Word of advice, Trey just focus on you own career. If you feel like R.Kelly haven't been on his sh*t lately, then this should give you even more shine.
Trey all day! I support you cause you bring back real R&B for the male singers. R.Kelly fell off after Chocolate Factory, he's been sitting for too long becoming complacent. T-Pain got his own lane, cause he's to uptempo for R&B but doesn't rap enough for Hip-Hop. But he's created this confusion in the game where people like kellz think that's what the people want. I appreciate that you still coming out like you a new artist and realeasing songs every week, keep in comin. Trey is gonna be the Lil Wayne of R&B this year: 1 million first week.
"Kellz you the king.. I ain't beefin bout a thing.. if it's really a problem..give the celly a ring"
Should've taken your own advice sonny.
I have to say that I totally agree with you. You decide how you start your career. You can start it based on a trend (which only lives as long as the day it started) or you start it with your talent. Nowadays people are becoming stars w/o talent. I mean it works, the music is hot...but there is no longevity. R. Kelly started his career by showing the world how talented he is, so for him to surrender to a trend...is scary, really something that he doesn't have to do...it's a cop out.....in my opinion
This is real. Kellz is a a talented artist, but he's not a god. There shall be no false idols. He's not untouchable. How many in favor of R.Kelly even have his new release and if you do , do you REALLY like it?
ayyy Treyy...do ya thing mannnnnnnn! At least somebody out there being reall and up front bout they shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!! i digg everyyy second of it!
thats rite trey let em know :-)
i totally agree with where you comin from
R.kelly aint the same..and im glad you did this song..it goes hard..and i def. dont see it as a diss. go HAM baby!
Bein 4rm 804 Va, I have to supporting you on whateva you do. Trey, you have been killin it ever since you stepped on the scene with 804 boyz, & have been still killin it ever since you decided to go out on your own. You speak truth and you can tell from each of your songs that you put out that Kellz in some type of way ,shape or form has influenced the way you make music. A real fan would do what you did & keep R.Kelz on his toes & not let him slip. Just like fans of your music would do if you put out sum BS. People think you dissin when you not...people are just hearing the music they not listening Trey.
i agree i been sayin that...i havent really felt him since oddly the sex charges, no correlation tho. but happy ppl n after i didnt get excited by his music, not even the closet series really.
check out this video of u performin hot jam in ct trey- i caught yo hat haha (made my bday n lifted my spirits after being in the hosp with family lately- muahz)
honestly, i agree with you all the way. i mean i have every album of his except after his trapped in the closet phase. it`s really gettin out of hand with this "kelz" bullshit. autotune is so played out now and it`s NOT for every artist. i liked it better when only zapp & roger was doin it .. but i do love kanye, jamie, & t-pain's autotune (lol). i thnk if the king of r&b wakes up then the other r&b artists will have a reason to step their game up!
on another note, i did NOT know pleasure's album came out! i'm goin` to have to look at the track listing and see if i want to buy it.
"Kellz you the king.. I ain't beefin bout a thing.. if it's really a problem..give the celly a ring"
Should've taken your own advice sonny. <<<< But this blog in itself proves that there's NO BEEF! SMH.
Do ya thing Trigga-Trey! Wut up w/Genesis?!
It's hot... but y'all cats are little girls in the music game. Airing your business out like little bitches. So WHAT the man used autotune.. get off his NUTS.. the point of being an artist is to do whatever you want with the music. It's a dam shame fora cookiecutter ass r&b cat to try to diss a real musician. Step your shit up and quit being a little BITCH!
Check out Sex Weed from TP3 Reloaded, it had autotune on it(or at least vocoder). There are probably earlier songs containing vocoder by R Kelly as well.
you aint big enough to give r. kelly avdice nigga, worry about your own so-called "music career"
Wow, great song!

Windows Storage Server 2008 R2: Known Issues and Updates
This document details late-breaking information for Windows® Storage Server® 2008 R2. You can find more information on the Windows Storage Server blog.
In this document:
Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Update 1
Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Update 2
Initial Configuration Tasks issues
Failover cluster issues
Single Instance Storage issues
Accessibility issues
Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Update 1
Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Update 1 addresses the following issue:
KB982048-V2 - EULAs for Windows Storage Server 2008 Workgroup pre-installations
This update should be installed by OEMs in Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 factory images to properly display the Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 EULA in 10 languages.
Software Requirements: Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 (x64) RTM
Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Update 2
Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Update 2 contains the following change:
KB2536469 – Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 - Two-Node Cluster OOBE Updates
This package contains a re-release of KB976836, which contain the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) application used in Windows Storage Server 2008 R2.
Software Requirements: Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 (x64) RTM
This update should be installed by OEMs in Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 factory images to resolve issues:
Domain Join Wizard: The order of operations has been changed when configuring a two-node cluster. The remote and local machine names are now set at the end of the list of task operations to avoid issues with specific domain controller configurations.
Adding a User to the Domain: To improve the reliability of adding users, the process used to add an administrator to the local administrator group has changed to use the same format as the remotely administered PowerShell method.
Highly Available File Server Suppression: You can now suppress the Highly Available File Server Name page in the Cluster Validation and Setup Wizard. This will allow OEMs to prevent a user from being able to create a HA file server instance in the prepare cluster wizard if OEM-supplied tools are being used for provisioning and HA file server creation. The suppression is enabled by using the following registry key:
Reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\NASOOBE" /v SuppressHAFileServer /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f
Initial Configuration Tasks issues
The Trusted Hosts registry setting is overwritten when the Initial Configuration Tasks (ICT) window runs.
The trusted_hosts registry key (located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WSMAN\Client) is overwritten during the storage appliance setup on a two-node cluster. During network discovery, the private network IP address is written to this registry key.
To resolve this issue, OEMs who want to use this registry key to store trusted hosts IP addresses must replace this value after the network discovery process completes.
The Trusted Hosts registry setting has a character limit of 1023 characters. This is a limitation of the Windows operating system, and it is not a specific Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 limitation.
An exception is displayed when the Cluster Name and Domain Join Wizard runs if network communication between nodes become unavailable.
When the Cluster Name and Domain Join Wizard runs, an exception is displayed if network connections between the first and second nodes become unavailable.
To resolve this issue, verify the network connectivity between the nodes, and then manually configure both nodes of the cluster.
A domain account logon is required to continue the cluster setup tasks after the Cluster Name and Domain Join Wizard completes.
When end users run the Cluster Name and Domain Join Wizard, they must create a domain account for the cluster, including creating a password for that account. When the wizard completes, the first node of the cluster must be restarted to save the changes from the wizard. When the system restarts, the end user must log on using that domain account to complete additional cluster configuration tasks from the ICT window. If the end user logs on using the previous local computer account, tasks involving the second node of the cluster will fail.
To resolve this issue, the end user must log off the first node, and then use the new domain account to log on.
The Cluster Validation and Setup Wizard fails if the ClusterName and RemoteNodeName registry keys are not present on the first node of the cluster.
As part of a two-node cluster configuration, an end user sets the cluster name and the names for each node of the cluster when the Configure Cluster and Domain Join Wizard runs.
The cluster name and the name for the second cluster node are stored in the registry on the first cluster node at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NASOOBE. However, if the ClusterName and RemoteNodeName registry keys are not present on the first cluster node, the Cluster Validation and Setup Wizard fails to launch, and the following error messages are displayed:
Unable to retrieve the cluster name. Unable to find the registry string value "ClusterName".
Unable to retrieve the second node name. Unable to find the registry string value "RemoteNodeName".
To resolve this issue, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NASOOBE on the first node, manually create the ClusterName and RemoteNodeName registry keys with the correct values, and then restart the Cluster Validation and Setup Wizard.
Cluster configuration tasks or cluster validation fail if the second cluster node is not available.
The Cluster Validation and Setup Wizard fails to configure the quorum disk if the second cluster node is not available from the first node. Similarly, validation of the cluster configuration fails if the second cluster node is not available. This issue can occur when network connections are broken between nodes of the cluster.
To resolve this issue, establish connectivity between the nodes of the cluster. Then from the second node, manually configure the quorum disk and validate the cluster.
Failover cluster issues
Using the Failover Cluster Management snap-in to create and configure a disk resource.
If you use the Share and Storage Management snap-in to provision storage for a failover cluster, you may receive the following warning during the wizard set up: Create and configure a cluster disk resource. If this occurs, the resulting disk resource is assigned to a temporary resource group, and it will be unavailable to the cluster.
To work around this issue, use the Failover Cluster Management snap-in to assign the disk to the correct cluster resource group, and then delete the temporary resource group that was created.
If this warning occurs, and the disk is equal to or greater than 2 TB in size, you must use Diskpart.exe to obtain the GUID of the disk and then use the following command to bring the disk online:
cluster.exe res[resource name]/priv DiskIdGuid=[guid]
The File Server Resource Manager service must be restarted after forming a failover cluster.
File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) can be preinstalled on the storage appliance as part of the File Services role. When the FSRM service starts, it determines whether the storage appliance is part of a cluster. If the storage appliance is not in a failover cluster, FSRM places the configuration data on the system volume.
To resolve this issue, you must add the computer to a failover cluster, then restart the FSRM service so that FSRM can reevaluate whether the computer is part of a failover cluster. When FSRM detects the presence of a failover cluster, the configuration information will be created in the cluster database.
Any configurations that you made using FSRM before you created the failover cluster and restarted the FSRM service will be lost, and they must be recreated in the failover cluster environment. If a computer running Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 is added to an existing failover cluster, FSRM will use the configuration data that is already present in the cluster database.
You cannot extend volumes by using Disk Management.
The option to extend a volume on a failover cluster is unavailable in the Disk Management snap-in for volumes other than the system volume.
To work around this issue, extend volumes by using the DiskPart.exe utility.
Single Instance Storage issues
Single Instance Storage (SIS) and FSRM may display incorrect disk space.
If SIS is enabled on a volume, File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) may incorrectly report the amount of disk space usage on that volume for a user. This disparity occurs when files are migrating to the SIS Common Store.
Cannot install SIS on a volume without a mount point.
If you install SIS on a volume without a mount point (such as on drive C or in a folder) the operation will fail while incorrectly displaying a message similar to the following:
SIS has been initialized on volume '\\?\Volume{f2eb8acf-0ad7-49b3-bd92-b93ce5680c85}\'. Restarting the Groveler service...
To resolve this issue, assign a mount point to the volume before you enable SIS for the volume.
Groveler service may not recognize a volume after the drive letter changes.
SIS requires that all volumes that are using SIS be assigned a drive letter or a folder mount point. If you use the Disk Management snap-in to change the drive letter or folder mount point of a SIS volume, the Groveler service may fail to immediately recognize the new configuration.
To resolve this issue, use the sisadmin.exe /I command to assign a drive letter to a volume or a mount point to a folder. The Groveler service should adapt to the change within an hour and restore full functionality.
Accessibility issues

Unexpected Tab key behavior occurs when selecting virtual disks.
When a user attempts to access virtual disks from the Snapshot Storage tab of the VHD properties dialog box, the Tab key does not allow the user to select from available virtual disks.
To work around this issue, select the desired virtual disk by using the arrow keys.
The Create Virtual Disk Wizard does not adequately describe user options.
The Create Virtual Disk Wizard includes pages or dialog boxes that do not provide enough information to help users choose the appropriate values during the creating virtual hard disks (VHD) creation process. Specifically, the Create Virtual Disk Wizard includes the following issues:
On the File page, the description for the File field should specify that the VHD file name use the following format: local\valid full name.vhd (not non-fixed\dynamic\network path).
On the Size page, the Size of virtual disk (MB) field should include a label that describes the range of possible values. These values are 8 MB to ~16 TB.
On the Files page, the File Path column should include a label that describes the type of VHD file path that is acceptable. For example, an acceptable file path is: local/valid/existing/not in used VHD file.
In the Snapshot Storage tab of the Virtual Disk Properties dialog box, text should indicate that the value of the Use Limit field should be a minimum of 300 MB.
On the Description page, there should be a label for the Virtual Disk Description field that describes the appropriate descriptions that a user can select for this field.
The Create Target Wizard allows a user to attempt to create a iSCSI Software Target that already exists.
A user cannot create a target with the same name as an existing target. However, when prompted for a new target name, the Create Target Wizard does not validate whether the target name already exists. Instead the Create Target Wizard continues through the target creation process, and then fails when it attempts to save a target without a unique name. The Create Target Wizard should warn a user that the new target name already exists and a new target cannot be created with this name.
The VHD Import Wizard allows a user to attempt to import a VHD that is in use.
A user cannot import a VHD that is currently in use. However, the VHD Import Wizard does not verify if the VHD is being used. Instead the VHD Import Wizard continues through the importation process, and it ultimately fails when it attempts to use the imported VHD. The VHD Import Wizard should warn a user that the VHD is in use and it cannot be imported.
The Scheduling Properties window accepts values that are wrong.
A user cannot set a value of 0 minutes for the When Idle property of a task in the Scheduled Task field. If a user enters 0 for this field, the When Idle field value automatically sets to 10. The When Idle input box should prevent a value of 0 from being entered or display an error message stating that 0 minutes is not an acceptable value and that the default minimum setting (10 minutes) is used instead.
Schedule Snapshot Wizard pages do not validate against improper input and do not return meaning errors.
Several Schedule Snapshot Wizard pages (specifically the Daily Schedule, Weekly Schedule, and Monthly Schedule pages) allow the user to input wrong values (for example, the Weekly Schedule field allows a user to enable a snapshot creation in week 53 of the year). There are no meaningful error messages returned when wrong values are input for snapshot creation.
The Schedule tab of the Properties dialog box for the ISCSI Software Target management console erroneously exposes the Select Months dialog box.
When the Schedule tab of the Properties dialog box for the ISCSI Software Target management console is visible, a user can inadvertently expose the Select Months dialog box. This occurs if a user moves through the exposed controls and inadvertently stops on the hidden Select Months button. To resolve this issue, a user should click Cancel to close the erroneous dialog box.
Changing the name of an iSCSI Software Target to an existing iSCSI Software Target generates an error message and improperly closes the ISCSI Software Target Properties dialog box.
A user cannot rename an iSCSI Software Target to an existing iSCSI Software Target name. If this is attempted, the Properties dialog box of the iSCSI Software Target management console should display an error message that states this action cannot be performed. The Properties dialog should remain visible so that the user can edit the name of the iSCSI Software Target so that the name is unique.
At high screen resolutions, it is difficult to navigate the ICT window.
If an end user sets the screen resolution of their storage device to high DPI values (for example, 144 DPI [1600x1200] or 196 DPI [2500x1600]) and then minimizes the ICT window, the ICT window fails to display properly, making it difficult to use when they configure their storage device.
To resolve this issue, the end user must set the screen resolution during storage appliance setup to a resolution of 1024 X 768 or lower.

Whoops! Can Be Fun! - 4xForwardPosted in News on February 6, 2014
This issue is jam-packed with reader's rigs in compromising positions, including our staffs' rides on the last page. We're sure that there have been some tense moments during your own whoops, but looking back at all of my own rolls and near-death experiences, I can still say it was a lot of fun. Admittedly, being upside-down on fire isn't too pleasant, but getting your rig on the cover (yes, that's my jeep on this page) is pretty cool. Of course this was a staged shot for our 1996 Whoops! issue, but it was still fun.
That's what 4-wheeling is about anyway -- we have the means and the will to go have fun! Whether it's only in your mind and you are living vicariously through the pages of this magazine and our sites, or actually hitting the trail and finding yourself in the woods, rocks, mud bog or snow, enjoying what we do as a sport/hobby is what makes it worth the effort it takes. Fun is what you make it to be. If fun gets you stuck in the mud, wedged between boulders, or buried in a snow drift, then just enjoy it.
Sure, you can have an awesome time without getting stuck (and we often do). But the unknown can be the best part of wheeling, as following a schedule, getting your work done on time, and making sure everything turns out just according to plan can be boring. Spontaneity rules in my world. If I'm stuck winching buddies or myself out of a tough spot at 3 a.m., then that is fun too. I may have to pay for it the next day while being sore and sleepy, but I know I put forth the effort to have fun, whether it be for work or play.
Let us know what your recent whoops fun was, complete with photos. You, too, could be in our next issue devoted to reader foul-ups and maybe even make the cover. Just remember that safety rules-- we don't want to promote unsafe practices. Likewise, we stand firm in our beliefs of environmental stewardship and saving our trails for future generations, so please don't wheel where you shouldn't. Send your photos to us at firstname.lastname@example.com or by mail to Whoops! 4-Wheel & Off-Road, 831 S. Douglas St., El Segundo, CA 90245. And if you have any comments on anything, just write us at email@example.com.
Now go wheel and have some fun!

Lift Assange out of legal limbo
Key Excerpts from Article on Website of USA Today
Lift Assange out of legal limbo
USA Today, June 17, 2014
Posted: 2014-07-01 10:29:40
A whistle-blower living in exile in Russia. A publisher seeking the asylum he has already been granted while his sources are imprisoned. This isn't the cast of a summer blockbuster. It's a perfect storm of real-life cases that make it clear that constitutional guarantees of a free press and government accountability are rhetorical devices, not political realities. The whistle-blower is Edward Snowden. This month marks the first anniversary of his disclosures of massive National Security Agency surveillance. The publisher is Julian Assange. Thursday marks two years since he sought refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Meanwhile, two of Assange's sources, Chelsea Manning (formerly known as Bradley Manning) and Jeremy Hammond, remain in prison for providing WikiLeaks with confidential documents. Harassment, targeting and prosecution of whistle-blowers, journalists and publishers have become a dangerous new normal — one we should refuse to accept, especially in a time when governments are becoming more powerful and less accountable. It's time to end this assault, starting with granting Snowden amnesty and withdrawing the threat of U.S. criminal prosecution of Assange. Similar harsh treatment and excessive punishments haven't applied to the people in government who perpetrated the crimes exposed by these whistle-blowers and published by WikiLeaks. In fact, people such as national intelligence director James Clapper, who lied under oath to Congress, have avoided consequences altogether.

U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba
2001-05-01, ABC News
In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's ... Fidel Castro. America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and were presented to President Kennedy's defense secretary, Robert McNamara, in March 1962. But they apparently were rejected by the civilian leadership and have gone undisclosed for nearly 40 years. The Joint Chiefs even proposed using the potential death of astronaut John Glenn during the first attempt to put an American into orbit as a false pretext for war with Cuba. Should the rocket explode and kill Glenn, they wrote, "the objective is to provide irrevocable proof … that the fault lies with the Communists." The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years after.

Inside the secretive Bilderberg Group
2005-09-29, BBC News
How much influence do private networks of the rich and powerful have on government policies and international relations? One group, the Bilderberg, has often attracted speculation that it forms a shadowy global government. Every year since 1954 [they have brought] together about 120 leading business people and politicians. At this year's meeting in Germany, the audience included the heads of the World Bank and European Central Bank, Chairmen or Chief Executives from Nokia, BP, Unilever, DaimlerChrysler and Pepsi ... editors from five major newspapers, members of parliament, ministers, European commissioners ... and the queen of the Netherlands. The chairman ... is 73-year-old Viscount Etienne Davignon. In an extremely rare interview, he played down the importance of Bilderberg. "I don't think (we are) a global ruling class because I don't think a global ruling class exists." Will Hutton ... who attended a Bilderberg meeting in 1997, says people take part in these networks in order to influence the way the world works, to create what he calls "the international common sense". And that "common sense" is one which supports the interests of Bilderberg's main participants. For Bilderberg's critics the fact that there is almost no publicity about the annual meetings is proof that they are up to no good. Bilderberg meetings often feature future political leaders shortly before they become household names. Bill Clinton went in 1991 while still governor of Arkansas, Tony Blair was there two years later while still an opposition MP. All the recent presidents of the European Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before they were appointed. Informal and private networks like Bilderberg have helped to oil the wheels of global politics and globalisation for the past half a century.
Note: Why is this meeting of top world leaders kept so secret? Why, until a few years ago, was there virtually no reporting on this influential group in the major media? Thankfully, the alternative media has had some good articles. And a Google search can be highly informative. Explore many other revealing major media news articles on powerful secret societies. And for those interested, check out reliable, eye-opening information covering the big picture of how and why these secret societies are using government-sponsored mind control programs to achieve their agenda.
[9/11] Hijack 'suspects' alive and well
2001-09-23, BBC News
Another of the men named by the FBI as a hijacker in the [9/11] suicide attacks on Washington and New York has turned up alive and well. The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt. Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September. His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world. He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks. He has contacted both the Saudi and American authorities. He acknowledges that he attended flight training school at Daytona Beach in the United States, and is indeed the same Waleed Al Shehri to whom the FBI has been referring. But, he says, he left the United States in September last year [and] became a pilot with Saudi Arabian airlines. Abdulaziz Al Omari, another of the Flight 11 hijack suspects ... says he is an engineer with Saudi Telecoms, and that he lost his passport while studying in Denver. Meanwhile ... a London-based Arabic daily says it has interviewed Saeed Alghamdi. He was listed by the FBI as a hijacker in the United flight that crashed in Pennsylvania. And there are suggestions that another suspect, Khalid Al Midhar, may also be alive. FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Thursday that the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt.
Note: The deceptions in the 9/11 official story are clearly shown in this key story. The FBI never revised its list of alleged hijackers. These four are all listed in the official 9/11 Commission report as the hijackers. Click here and scroll down a little over half way to see their photos in the official report.

How Big Wireless Made Us Think That Cell Phones Are Safe: A Special Investigation
2018-03-20, The Nation
In January 1993, David Reynard sued the NEC America Company, claiming that his wife's NEC phone caused her lethal brain tumor. After Reynard appeared on national TV, the story went viral. A week later, [Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association president Tom] Wheeler announced that his industry would pay for a comprehensive research program. Cell phones were already safe, Wheeler told reporters; the new research would simply "re-validate the findings of the existing studies." George Carlo seemed like a good bet to fulfill Wheeler's mission. In 1995, Carlo began directing the industry-financed Wireless Technology Research project (WTR), whose eventual budget of $28.5 million made it the best-funded investigation of cell-phone safety to date. He and Wheeler would eventually clash bitterly over the ... findings, which Carlo presented to wireless-industry leaders on February 9, 1999. By that date, the WTR had commissioned more than 50 original studies and reviewed many more. Those studies raised "serious questions" about cell-phone safety. A livid Tom Wheeler began publicly trashing Carlo to the media. Wheeler's tactics succeeded in dousing the controversy. In the years to come, the WTR's cautionary findings would be replicated by numerous other scientists ... leading the World Health Organization in 2011 to classify cell-phone radiation as a "possible" human carcinogen and the governments of Great Britain, France, and Israel to issue strong warnings on cell-phone use by children.

A.I. Experts Question Amazon's Facial-Recognition Technology
2019-04-03, New York Times
At least 25 prominent artificial-intelligence researchers, including experts at Google, Facebook, Microsoft and a recent winner of the prestigious Turing Award, have signed a letter calling on Amazon to stop selling its facial-recognition technology to law enforcement agencies because it is biased against women and people of color. The letter, which was publicly released Wednesday, reflects growing concern in academia and the tech industry that bias in facial-recognition technology is a systemic problem. Amazon sells a product called Rekognition through its cloud-computing division, Amazon Web Services. The company said last year that early customers included the Orlando Police Department in Florida and the Washington County Sheriff's Office in Oregon. In January, two researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology published a peer-reviewed study showing that Amazon Rekognition had more trouble identifying the gender of female and darker-skinned faces in photos than similar services from IBM and Microsoft. It mistook women for men 19 percent of the time, the study showed, and misidentified darker-skinned women for men 31 percent of the time. "There are no laws or required standards to ensure that Rekognition is used in a manner that does not infringe on civil liberties," the A.I. researchers wrote. "We call on Amazon to stop selling Rekognition to law enforcement."

Amazon reportedly employs thousands of people to listen to your Alexa conversations
2019-04-11, CNN News
Not only is Alexa listening when you speak to an Echo smart speaker, an Amazon employee is potentially listening, too. Amazon (AMZN) employs a global team that transcribes the voice commands captured after the wake word is detected and feeds them back into the software ... Bloomberg reports. Amazon reportedly employs thousands of full-time workers and contractors in several countries, including the United States, Costa Rica and Romania, to listen to as many as 1,000 audio clips in shifts that last up to nine hours. The audio clips they listen to were described as "mundane" and even sometimes "possibly criminal," including listening to a potential sexual assault. In a response to the story, Amazon confirmed to CNN Business that it hires people to listen to what customers say to Alexa. Amazon doesn't "explicitly" tell Alexa users that it employs people to listen to the recordings. Amazon said in its frequently asked question section that it uses "requests to Alexa to train our speech recognition and natural language understanding systems." People can opt out of Amazon using their voice recordings to improve the software in the privacy settings section of the Alexa app. Alexa auditors don't have access to the customers' full name or address, but do have the device's serial number and the Amazon account number associated with the device. Amazon previously has been embroiled in controversy for privacy concerns regarding Alexa.

Location: Invasive Insect Biocontrol & Behavior LaboratoryTitle: Bed bug detection: Current technologies and future directions Author
Submitted to: American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/10/2012
Publication Date: 4/1/2013
Publication URL: http://handle.nal.usda.gov/10113/60970
Citation: Feldlaufer, M.F. 2013. Bed bug detection: Current technologies and future directions. American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. 88(4):619-625.
Interpretive Summary: Early detection of bed bug infestations, though crucial for effective control, is difficult because bed bugs spend most of their life in cracks, crevices, and similarly concealed areas. We have reviewed current detection methods and have included research results on detection by bed bug sniffing dogs. Our results indicate that dogs trained to detect live bed bugs will also alert to specific chemicals produced by bed bugs, and that these bed bug-produced compounds form the underlying chemical basis of scent detection by dogs. This information will benefit the general public by providing them with information about the options available for detecting bed bug infestations in their home or apartment.
Technical Abstract: This study evaluates current technologies used to detect bed bug infestations, and presents new information regarding the underlying chemical basis of canines scent detection. The manuscript also reports new and future devices that may play a part in bed bug detection in the future.

The Big Picture: The Boot, Part Two
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 NEXT
Babylon 5, sign me up.
And this week Bob mentions Gargoyles... God... I miss my childhood...
As I understand it Gargoyles is a free property. You want a reboot you just have to make it. No one does and I don't think any can at this point own the rights. Not sure of the exact mumbojumbo of it all. With that said of course, getting a company to invest any money in a show that cold be PIRATED by other networks, isn't going to happen. I mean you make Gargoyles TNG - ironic given its cast - and popularize the franchise over two years, and then say ABC comes along and makes The Real Gargoyles which for whatever reason has broader appeal, suddenly you're shows going down the tubes and you've made ABC a fan base they never had to work for. Not happening. Fun if it did, just to see the networks battle it out it would be fun, but I doubt it will.
Babylon 5 was a great show in my opinion, hampered by limitations in CG. And I admit, I'd love to see a remastered version of the original, but I doubt a reboot would really be possible. The show's survival through out its run was a miracle, and it's successor didn't last more then half a season. A real shame to, I doubt many fans of Babylon 5 didn't like Crusades and some of my friends who weren't fond of the lack of action in Babylon 5 really embraced the new show. They canceled Crusades, as I understand it, because the studio behind it didn't feel it's characters were 'sexy enough'. They handed down the ultimatum, sex it up or call it quits... No more Crusades. I think a remastered B5 and a rebooted Crusades might work. You could use the one to sell the other even. Sort of a big lead up hype event.
Rebooting the Simpsons? Are you serious? What is that, the great race to beat out nostalgia? What about the A-Team. I never saw the new movie, but the old show was great fun! Bad acting, ridiculous dialogue and a lot of heart.
Catcha: ten four - surely a program of taste!
Bob, I'm with you on a lot of things (I even agree with your review of Sucker Punch) but some of these are just not good ideas. I loved Monster Squad for its cool idea and its cheesiness. It just wouldn't be the same.
As for Harry Potter, I would happily watch them all with you! The "fill-in" movies as you call them are what gave the stories heart and helped endear the characters to us. You can't replicate that in a trilogy. The Harry Potter tv series some people have suggested is an interesting alternative though. I would check that out.
The Harry Potter films were all pretty terrible. Full of inconsistencies and stuff that didn't make sense unless you read the books and changes that annoyed the people that did
The two that made the most sense were B5 and Gargoyles, I'd watch those. If they coupled a B5 relaunch B5 with a Mass Effect style video game following a Ranger taking the Cmndr Shep role it could be explosively successful. Not to mention other cool property
It's too early to reboot Simpsons, or rather Simpsons is too recently successful, to reboot. To be a real worthwhile reboot there needs to be some kind of space. That space can be time, or even a disconnect from approval. I know a lot of people who don't watch Simpsons anymore but the problem isn't that they are disappointed, it's just that they don't see the relevance. Give it a year or two off to fade, or have the series go horribly wrong, and then give it a try. Even then though, I'd put rebooting a low-continuity cartoon into a different category from rebooting something with an ongoing narrative arc.
I'd love to see some of the standards get the reboot - Firefly, Farscape, Stargate SGU, but I'd also like to to see Tales of the Gold Monkey The Herculoids, Thundar the Barbarian, and some of the old Lance cartoons like Woody Woodpecker.
B5 is by far my favorite but maybe not a reboot sure the acting was kinda off at times and some of the episodes were bunk but the story and the writing were superb. all it needs is a cg update maybe bring it up to the level that the lost tales was at.
Sure there were a fair number of episodes (at least from the first season I've rewatched recently) that don't really advance the overall arc of the show, but they almost always had some kind of small character arc contained within them. For example, the episode "Believers" in season 1 where Dr. Franklin is the main character and wrestles with upholding his oath as a doctor against violating the religious beliefs and wishes of a family in order to save a child. Hardly any of the rest of the main cast is in the episode but we get a better understanding of Franklin and what he believes.
Perhaps I've just got super nostalgia glasses for the show since it was something my dad and I always watched together, but I'd love to see it on the air again. Though it would be very weird to see other actors portray the same characters.
While I wouldn't want it to turn out like the Star Trek reboot, I'd love to see Bablyon 5 get a full treatment. Season 4 rushed a conclusion to the plot due to fears of cancellation, and Season 5 was then basically filler.
Along these lines, I'd love to see someone redo all the cgi/special effects for The Last Starfighter.
Maybe since the team is giving the Star Trek TV series a rest they could put together a Babylon 5 reboot. Other than the cringe worthy Star Trek prequel show I've enjoyed every series after Star Trek. I would really prefer Abrams keep his mits off the rest of my nostalgia. The Star Trek movie was tolerable but his style is just so bland and forgettable.
I'm all on board for a Harry Potter reboot, but as a TV show instead of a film series. A lot of what hampered the later Potter movies was a need for bombastic climactic scenes that really did not fit with the tone of the books. Plus, the world of Harry Potter is ripe to be explored and add side stories to.
i want to see a sequel to babylon 5. set on earth after the burn (i think thats was what it called), when they have reverted back to a medieval society and the alliance rangers are trying to guided them. either that or a more direct sequal following sheradains son and what happened to him and the shadows paricite.
personaly i dont think a reboot of babylon 5 would be a good idea, rebooting star trek i was fine with because it more about the characters meetting weird stuff and solving it with very few plot points carrying over to episodes, babylon 5 is too plot focused, its all about big events and character arcs i think it would be a waste of time to reboot it, if they do thought, they should not use the old characters.
Babylon 5 and Gargoyles are the only shows I watched in my childhood that I continue to watch every couple of years. The stories and characters just keep pulling me back in.
What's with the Escapist and reboots?
I still wanna see a Reboot...reboot
That's exactly why it wasn't mentioned, this is a list of things that should be rebooted, not things that were already rebooted very well.
I'm very much with you on Gargoyles, this series could probably benefit from a television landscape changed by shows like Avatar the Last Airbender and even Adventure Time. They still probably couldn't be explicit about Lexington although they might have more leeway to up the level of subtext.
That's actually his whole point, Ninja.
5) Eh... sure, why not?
4) This was a series that by all intents and purposes easily could have made a great 7 season TV series. A lot of the nitty gritty details can't be justified in a full movie, but a TV show would have worked wonders.
3) Yes! Let's get this done! TO KICKSTARTER!
2) Eh... I preferred Deep Space Nine
1) No, just no. Some things can change, but that doesn't justify a reboot.
I agree with bob on the number 1 pick, if/when the Simpsons ends id like to see what someone new could do with it, however that dos bring up the question that all reboots and reimaging's face "how much can you change a character or premise before there an entirely different thing?" that's what I'm wondering.
So, Moviebob went from pissing on just laid to rest bodies of recent shot films/series, to just pissing on the still breathing ones. And not a Simpson's fan though, but the idea of a reboot is just unthinkable. Babylon 5 I can see being rebooted but not in the current Star Trek style. The show isn't comatose enough to being injected with J.J. Abraham's mix of speed, crack and cocaine.
I'd love to see a reboot of Gargoyles and Babylon 5. Though I'd much rather see a battle star galactica style reboot than a star trek style. Gargoyles would be interesting, I only saw the first season or two of it before the station I was watching it on dropped it for something else, power rangers I think.
The rest of the list I'm different to.
First time posting a message on The Escapist forum. Had to toss in my two cents after seeing this video.
5) Wow! I thought I was the only one who thought about rebooting this movie. I agree with Bob saying that Monster Squad had some inconsistency issues, mostly because it was trying to be for kids but had more adult elements like impalement and foul language. That said, I'd like to offer a few stipulations for this reboot. First, the rights to remake it should go to Universal Studios. Just to make it offical. Second, the make-up effects must be done by Rick Baker. The original effects were done by the late Stan Winston and it would be great to see another make-up legend get a chance to do something like this. Plus I loved Rick's revision of the Wolfman and I'm dying to see how he handles the other classic monsters (maybe toss in a few more like the Bride). Finally, play down the CGI and have more practical effects. I liked the Wolfman remake a bit but the overuse of CGI spoiled it for me. Besides, Rick did one of the best werewolf transformations long before CGI hit it big and it still holds up to this day imo.
4) I think its too soon to reboot the Potter series at this point, so lets leave it alone for now. As for watching all 8 movies, I'd be up for it if you had plenty of energy drinks on hand. ^^;
3) Excuse me...
OK, I think I've got that out of my system.
I'm game for any reinterpretation of Gargoyles, be it new series or movie trilogy. If the former, Disney would have to make sure it would last long enough on TV to allow it to cover everything the creators want to say. I really don't want to be left hanging like I was with the rebooted Thundercats. But that is mostly due to Cartoon Network being run by a pack of idiots these days. If the latter, please get someone that has actual passion for this property and can do it justice and is not in it for a paycheck and will do a piss-poor job(looking at you, Michael Bay).
2) I've never really got into this series so I can't offer an opinion on it in any way.
1) Again, much like the Potter reboot comment, its too soon to do such a thing. If anything, maybe do a spinoff show with certain characters like Apu.
You can't reboot the Simpsons and Call it The Simpsons. The core of this series is that family. Doind The Simpsons without them is making Futurama. I'd still wacth the shit out of this reboot.
I would prefer if instead of rebooting Harry Potter the Anti-Harry-Potter, Artemis Fowl, got the same kind of lavish, big budget movie adaptation. That's something I would really really love to see. The problems Bob mentioned about the Harry Potter movies wouldn't even be there all that much in hypothetical Artemis Fowl movies because those books hardly contain any fluff at all, they are not a huge doorstopper each but straight action.
Avatar The Last Airbender just ruined Harry Potter for me by taking the same concept and making it much much more epic and better.
But I do agree with the rest of the list.
Other types;
I feel like quite a nerd for knowing this, but I have to pass it on.
B5 was the first show to ditch models and only use CGI for the space shots. The reason they only have about 5 stock exterior shots in series one is because it took so long for each piece to render. Hell, they were being rendered on Amigas! They had to leave them on overnight and pray that they didn't crash, because if they did they'd have to start all over again.
Personally, I would love to see a reboot of B5, but it would have to be with JMS at the wheel, or at least writing the scripts. From season 2 onwards he wrote every single episode, bar one in series five that was written by Neil Gaiman.
If JJ Abrams goes near this series, I will lose all hope for humanity.
Babylon 5 can only be rebooted if the new incarnation DOESN'T SUCK!!!
As for Harry potter and the Simpsons... At this time, rebooting them would be a colossal waste of time and money.
I'm surprised that "The Greatest American Hero"
Max Headroom
and CONDORMAN
don't even get a mention.
I'm disappointed at a lack of Reboot
I mean its IN THE NAME
I think the reason Bob did not mention MLP more is because (quoting Bob) he hadn't seen any of it.
I would not be right for Bob to comment more on a series he has not seen.
...Um, I actually -have- intentionally rewatched swafts of Harry Potter movies and re-read most of the longer books a year or two back. If anything, yeah, make it a TV series. That would work -so- much better. Just don't let it become a Twilight sort of thing, keep the tone of the movies as best you can.
Besides that, anything further to say on the matter would just be my own list of rebootable franchises, and more of those would be games or books anyway so I'll shut up.
Yes. This. Give each book a season of a TV series. Shorter books get shorter seasons. But it would allow for all the stuff that got skipped over which they missed out and then had to cover their asses about to be put in
Oh, and no I wouldn't want to sit down and watch all of the Harry Potter films in a marathon...because there's eight of them and they're like 2 hours each. I can't spare sixteen hours like that
know what? a Watchmen-style gritty reimagining of The Simpsons could actually be pretty hilarious
i cant see the Simpsons being rebooted or the harry potters, not that i would care that much if i did, i just dont think anyone would be willing to pay for it.
although i do want to know what moviebob as against the iron man 2? what the hell man!?
gargoyles would be a good reboot, and now all i can think of is all those earlier cartoons coming back, the kong one, or the ghostbusters extreme one,......yeah i have just discovered i want an Extreme Ghostbusters reboot...
Hollywood make it happen!

Nine Years In The Saddle
This is a true-story western about a man who was out of my life until he was 81-years-old, my father. The main focus of the book is West Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona during the Great Depression. From cow punching to mountain lion hunting to bootlegging during Prohibition this is a very entertaining story of how cowboys eked out a living in the last days of the Old West. It is filled with humor, drama, poignancy, and danger. See more on amazon.com....

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — With a reputation as a pacesetter in health care, Oregon laid out bold plans for complying with the federal overhaul.
The state wouldn't just create a health insurance exchange, a complicated undertaking in its own right. Oregon officials set out to build one of the biggest and best in the nation — a model that other states would want to copy.
But more than a month after Cover Oregon's online enrollment was supposed to launch, reality is lagging far behind Gov. John Kitzhaber's grand ideas. The online system still doesn't work, and the exchange has yet to enroll a single person in health insurance.
Interviews with state officials and a review of public records by The Associated Press suggest Cover Oregon officials bit off more than they could chew and clung to their ambitious vision even when their risk management consultants raised alarms.
While rushing to get the exchange done, programmers and project managers also were busy with separate complex computer projects for the Oregon Health Authority and the Department of Human Services.
Cover Oregon officials say they're working hard to finish the project and insist the features they're creating will be worth the wait — even if it remains unclear when the site will go online.
"We stuck to the vision, and we're experiencing now the bumps that go along with having a grand vision that doesn't work out exactly the way you hope it will," said Amy Fauver, chief communications officer for Cover Oregon.
Fauver said "we're confident that we will get the system up and running here in the near future" and that it "will be something we can be really proud of."
More than $300 million has been spent on the exchange so far, but the online enrollment system is still having trouble accurately determining whether people in complex family arrangements are eligible for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program.
Cover Oregon officials say their launch has been delayed because they refuse to put out an imperfect product and fix the bugs later. And they say their whole system is more complex and has more features than most other states — but that also means more things can go wrong.
Some of the complexity they face is inherent in Oregon's health care environment, which is unusually competitive. Eleven insurers are selling plans through Cover Oregon; some states have just a handful. Oregon also has complicated eligibility rules for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program — known here as the Oregon Health Plan and Healthy Kids.
Some of the complications, though, are self-imposed, by the aspirations of the Legislature, the governor and the exchange's own leadership. When other states delayed or gave up on a concept called "no wrong door," Oregon held on, and is still holding on. The goal is to give people one portal — the Cover Oregon website — to sign up for insurance, whether they qualify for commercial insurance or Medicaid. In most other states, people who appear to qualify for Medicaid are sent to a separate enrollment process through the state Medicaid office.
From the very beginning, Oregon promised a "one-stop shop" for health insurance and, for better or worse, has refused to waiver. That means the state is seeking an entirely automated process for determining Medicaid eligibility and enrolling.
Once state lawmakers approved the exchange in 2011, the first stages of development were done by the Office of Information Services for the Oregon Health Authority and the Department of Human Services. At the same time, as it was overseeing construction of the exchange's back-end information technology, the information office was also working on a massive project to modernize the internal computer systems for the health authority and human services agency. They were trying to use the same software to determine whether people are eligible for all public-assistance programs — not just Medicaid, but also programs like food stamps and welfare.
Carolyn Lawson, chief information officer for the health and human service agencies, said she doesn't think work on modernizing her department's own systems slowed down the architecture for Cover Oregon.
"There was always the fear that one project would overtake the other in importance, but it was two separate agencies and two separate projects," Lawson said. "It was a risk, but it did not happen."
Eventually, it might allow someone to fill out a single form and find out automatically whether they're eligible for a variety of public assistance programs.

Over the past year, Cover Oregon's risk consultant, Maximus, warned that the project was in danger of missing the Oct. 1 deadline to go live. In March, Maximus suggested that Cover Oregon re-organize its business to make individuals, small businesses and Medicaid distinct so one piece could be delayed if it was holding up the others. Cover Oregon rejected the suggestion, saying it was required to launch everything together on Oct. 1.
Oregon's exchange struggles are far from isolated. The federal website running exchanges for 36 states has been mired with problems, and many states that are running their own exchanges have endured small glitches. But Oregon's problems stand out, both because of their severity and because the state has held itself out as a leader.
There's still no estimate for when online enrollment will be available, and officials are now urging people who need or want insurance to fill out a paper application or an online PDF and send it in as soon as possible. Applications are being processed by hand — a process that's likely to take weeks, rather than the minutes that the website promised.
On Friday, the state announced plans to hire at least 400 people to process the paper applications.
"It is a complex system," Kitzhaber said at a recent news conference when asked whether the state took on too much complexity. "But I think once we get through this initial rollout phase it's going to be a real asset for us."

Taking care of traffic tickets. This page is also available en Español.
The Court sends you a Courtesy Bail Notice once we receive your citation. (It may take an agency 2-3 weeks to get us your citation info.) The Courtesy Notice provides information about how to handle your ticket, including:
Take action on the citation by its listed due date. Not receiving your Courtesy Bail Notice is not a legal excuse for failing to resolve the citation on time. Allow 10 days for delivery and processing when submitting anything by mail.
The DMV may suspend your driver's license if you fail to appear or take action by the citation's due date. This DMV hold will restrict your ability to renew your driver's license or attend traffic school.
The court may refer your case to collections which may add up to $300.00 in civil assessment fees if you fail to pay your fines on time. State law allows the court to also charge you with a misdemeanor and suspend your driving privilege.
Financial Hardship or Ability to Pay -
Methods of Payment -
The Court accepts: credit or debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, and Discover), personal checks, money orders, cashier's checks, and cash
If you are wishing to post bail and contest your citation, you must contact the clerk's office prior to payment either by phone or by correspondence. Failure to contact the clerk's office prior to payment will result in your case being closed. This is ONLY necessary if you are intending on pleading NOT GUILTY.
If you have appeared in Court and were granted Traffic School with a new total amount due, that amount does reflect the Traffic fee. Your case will or has been continued with a Traffic School due date.
*The Court's vendor charges an additional Administrative Fee on all credit card payments.
It is your responsibility to make sure payment is actually received by the Court prior to your appearance date.
A $30.00 charge will be added on all returned checks.
Bail is the dollar amount associated with the code section you were cited for noted on your citation. If you choose to pay the bail on the citation without going to your arraignment or trial, it is a bail forfeiture. The citation is deemed paid, and the resulting conviction will be reported to DMV if you were cited for a reportable violation. Some violations require a mandatory court appearance and cannot simply be paid.
If there are mechanical or insurance violations included in the citation, the Court requires you to submit proof of correction before any reduction in bail can be applied. If you do not provide proof of correction, the total bail amount must be paid. Proof may be submitted either by mail or in person.
The Clerk's Office may give one 30-day court appearance or due date extension. There are currently two methods for requesting an extension:
For a person who wants community work service instead of paying a fine or for those who just want more time to pay, the clerk of the Court is authorized to accept a written plea of guilty at the counter (or by mail) and continue the case for payments. This procedure is known as a "Counter Arraignment" and is designed to save time and effort of sitting through a court session. This option is also available for payment of Traffic School fees.
A defendant who enters a guilty plea in writing at the clerk's office will be given the options to request a one-time 90 day extension for a $30 time extension fee or they may request monthly payments of $50/$100 per month for a $35 payment plan fee. This option is also available for Traffic School fees.
Fine can be satisfied by completing community work service (credited at $10 per hour) or some combination of work and fine. There is a required minimum payment due when the Counter Arraignment is signed.
How to obtain Proof of Correction for Mechanical, Registration, License and Insurance Violations ("fix-it tickets"):
The citing officer must allege on the citation that the violation is correctable. Violations marked with an asterisk on your courtesy bail notice designate correctable violations.
Advisement: Fraudulent or altered documentation may be referred to the Office of the District Attorney for a full investigation and possible criminal prosecution.
A photo copy of the signed off citation is not acceptable; unless, the submitted citation is a copy with an original signature of Law Enforcement or DMV.
Proof of correction violations (required under VC40610) will be dismissed once the following have occurred (if taken care of in a timely manner).
Authorized representatives include:
Many agencies charge a fee to sign the cite; this is different than the State Administration Fix-it Fee required by the court.
If you are delinquent in appearing, proof of correction will probably not reduce the bail or fine.
If you are charged with a violation of the registration law, you must show proof to the Court that the vehicle has been registered, junked, or receipted as planned non-operation after the date of citation. A $25 State Mandated Fix-it fee will also be due. If proof of Release of Liability is submitted and it is dated with DMV prior to the violation date the $25 Fix-it Fee is waived.
You may have DMV "Sign-Off" the violation on the back of your citation or you may submit a copy of your registration, proof of your junked or dismantled vehicle or proof the vehicle has been placed in non-operational status "Non-Op'd".
If you are charged with a license violation you may have the DMV sign off the back of your citation or sign your Courtesy Bail Notice. You may also provide a copy of your driver's license to the court. Sign-off only qualifies if the violation is filed as an "infraction" and the citing officer allows for correction.
If you were charged with a violation of the proof of financial responsibility law (VC16028), the Court will dismiss the charge only if it is shown that the defendant was financially responsible (i.e. there was an insurance policy that covered the defendant/driver on the date of violation, or proof the the vehicle was insured at the time of the violation). A Fixit-Fee is payable to the Court.
If you purchase a 6 month insurance policy after the violation date and your name is on the policy, the court will suspend half of the bail amount due that carries with that violation (VC16028(a)).
Advisement: Fraudulent or altered documentation may be referred to the Office of the District Attorney for a full investigation and possible criminal prosecution
If you no longer own the vehicle or it is inoperable, it is still your responsibility to clear the citation by either paying the bail or appearing in court. If you have junked the car or it is deemed inoperable, you will need to show proof of a DMV junk certificate or planned non-operation receipt to the Court. A Fixit-Fee is payable to the Court. (if applicable)
Yes, unless the ticket is issued in the name of the registered owner of the vehicle you are driving. It is not an excuse that it was not your vehicle; it is still your responsibility to clear the citation if the citation is issued in your name.
See these pages for more details:
Petition the court to request to attend Traffic School.
In order to qualify for this petition process, you must submit your request within 30 days of the date your case was closed. Submission after 30 days is considered tardy and will not be accepted.
Once you have filled out your reason why the court should consider your request and submitted it timely to the court, your petition will be reviewed for consideration by our Traffic Commissioner.
If granted, you will be given time to complete Traffic School. Once proof is shown to the court, your driving record will be updated to reflect a confidential Traffic School conviction. (a masked report with D.M.V.)
If denied, there will either be conditions that are ordered or no further action required.
Click on Forms & Filing tab at the top of the page. The Traffic Department forms are at the bottom of the page. You can download form # TR01 - Traffic Petition and mail it to the San Luis Obispo address.
Court staff is authorized to provide information regarding the procedures used by the court to process a case.
However, all court staff are prohibited by law (Government Code Section 24004) from giving legal advice to litigants or to assist them in filling out any forms, including forms provided by the court, for the following reasons:
Court staff are not attorneys. The clerical staff is trained to accept papers for filing and has no expertise in the legal consequences of information included on any of the forms.
All persons seeking legal assistance from the clerk's office are to be directed to an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California without naming any specific person or firm.

ADHUNT needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 77 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
I need a logo designed for my friend's new Audio-Video-Lighting Company. Its a brand new company and they are just starting to print marketing materials. I convinced him that he needed a professional looking logo, and with the brilliant group of designers from 99designs that was possible, even on a shoe string budget. His budget is $300 total, so we're splitting it up for logo design and there will be another contest for the design of the business card. The winner of the logo contest will most likely be awarded the business card and stationery commission as well, but at the very least, you'll get first crack at it.
AHLTECH Solutions
We are looking for a simple, but "fresh" logo that may or does not have to include AV and lighting equipment.
Graphics you might incorporate into the design:
- Microphone, instruments
- Can lights, tracklighting
- Speakers, sound boardThese are just ideas to spur on the creativity, you may use some or none of them. Any combination of the three aspects of the business is encouraged. However, knowing that you have a better eye for this than we do, if simple manipulation of the text looks the best, we won't pigeon-hole your creativity.
Primary focus of this business is running the soundboard for different events, as well as designing and installing audio systems for Churches, Schools, and similar venues, so nothing too over the top.
Professional, but cutting edge is the key.
Need "printable" files. PSD or .AI for the completed version. .jpeg is obviously fine for uploading into the contest, but must be converted before final files are delivered. Vector is not required, but certainly welcome.
Must be transferable into grayscale as well.
Not This...

[ John Beltran ]
John Beltran, born 4 march 1969, is one of those producers that always seems to elude being pinned to any one category. His early work on Carl Craig's seminal Retroactive imprint sculpted a Detroit classic with hints of Derrick May, world music, and Jazz vibrations. He followed up in 1996 on Peacefrog with arguably one of the most sought after techno classics "Ten Days of Blue," which is still John's most successfully licensed music with songs like "Collage of Dreams" being used in the Miramax film Human Traffic and the HBO hit Six Feet Under. His next project was entitled "The Cry" under the Placid Angles guise which MixMaster Morris charted as one of his favourite albums ever.
