Most people hate this version because Cathy Lee Crosby was blonde and didn't wear the traditionaly bathing suit costume Wonder Woman is usually depicted in. However, I found this movie to be extremely enjoyable when viewing it after reading the late 60's/early 70's "Mod Diana Prince Era" of the comic books, which is where they seemed to take a lot of influence for this movie.Crosby isn't Lynda Carter, but she's extremely charming in her own way, and the chemistry between her and Steve Trevor is great. I was tickled by Diana's bantering with villain lackey, George, in the film, especially when she throws some delicious shade at him. I liked that she had a variety of different bracelets that could do different things. Her belt contains a rope that she can pull out and use. We also see a flashback of her leaving Paradise Island to go to Man's World as Wonder Woman, which is well done. This movie actually used non-caucasion Amazons, unlike the Lynda Carter series, which I appreciated. I also enjoyed Diana's reference to her Invisible Plane to explain a "plothole" mystery. I really like the way she uses her brains to get her out of many of her problems. You don't see much of that nowadays...I also really liked the introduction of the Amazon-gone-bad, who would have been a really interesting re-occuring adversary, had this have gone to series. And Ricardo Montalban is simply charming, even if he is a bad guy.I'm so glad this was released, and the print doesn't look completely terrible.

As a long-time comic book reader and superhero enthusiast, I'd recommend this only for Wonder Woman completists or curiosity seekers. I'd caught this failed tv pilot back on TV back in the early 80s, so I knew what I was getting into beforehand. The main problem is that the always-beautiful Cathy Lee Crosby is woefully miscast as "D" a.k.a. "Wonder Woman" (although what qualifies her as "Wonder" other than super agility and super kung fu chop, we're not certain). I'm not certain you can appreciate the performance if you've never seen the Lynda Carter series. (And if you've never seen the Lynda Carter series, you have no business watching this instead). All the problems that are corrected in the Lynda Carter series are evident here. It's also a little interesting that this pilot seems more geared toward the CBS super-spy revamp than the original WWII setting that premiered a year or so later. Despite its shortcomings and incredibly convoluted plot, it does benefit from the always-great Ricardo Montalban in full-on Blofeld/pre-Mr. Roarke mode, and former Price is Right Model Anitra Ford is very interesting as a fallen-from-grace Amazon in a very short appearance that seems would've been touched on again if this version had gone to series (in fact, it's the only thing I would've liked to have seen here revisited in the Lynda Carter series). But the WB Archives presentation of this looks great, but again, only recommended for WW completists and those who've heard about this misfire and can take it in stride as a failed attempt at something done much better later on.

Finally the Wonder Woman pilot 74
By Don S
from Dayton Oh
This is the one we needed for our collection of Wonder Woman DVD'S. Although those of you who may have not seen this one will recognize the concepts. This Wonder Woman is more super spy. This did not do well in the TV ratings goes but it helped to pave the way for Lynda Carter who we all acknowledge as the only Wonder Woman. This is great for collectors Kathy Crosby did a great job this is in no way her fault.
Wonder Woman--truly wonderful!

About Me Audiophile, Avid Reader, Collector
I've been waiting for decades for this wonderful TV pilot to be released on DVD. While no one can deny that Lynda Carter was the living, breathing incarnation of the Amazon princess, I've always wished that we could have had a season or two of Cathy Lee Crosby's Wonder Woman first. Cathy Lee's WW is beautiful, resourceful, capable, powerful, charismatic, and even funny. Andrew Prine plays a slimy villain so well that he practically leaves a shiny trail. Kaz Garas makes a dashing Steve Trevor, and Ricardo Montalban is the perfect smooth mastermind. The quality of both the DVD and the packaging is terrific as well. Thanks, Warner Brothers, for making this lifelong Wonder Woman very happy!

Hi All,
Some weird stuff is happening in my apartment.
I have 2 TVs/2 PS3s. Both of them are connected to my home network using Poweline Adapter.
Basically the configuration looks like this - (all => means connected via Ethernet)
PC => ATT UVerse Modem => Asus Router => Powerline to Powerline in Living Room => Living Room PS3
" " Powerline to Powerline in Bedroom = > Bedroom PS3
*One powerline adapter in the office serves both the adapters (in living room and bedroom)
In addition.... Both TVs are 1080P, and are fed by the same PS3 Media Server running on my PC.
Living room PS3 has 5.1 $200 Samsung speakers connected directly to ps3 via Optical
The living room and bedroom are seperated by one wall, which has both ac outlets that are using the Powerline adapters. It's a small apartment
For some reason, the bedroom PS3 is handling 1080P streaming like a champ, but the living room PS3 is stuttering horribly.
The bitrate in the top right corner of the screen shows almost double on the living room ps3 as the bedroom ps3. How can this be, since they are using the same PMS on the PC?????
I have tried to fix this by:
1. Switching the adapters in the bedroom and living room.
2. Switching the cables in the bedrrom and living room.
3. Disabling the 5.1 speakers in the living room . (Through PS3 settings => Audio through HDMI to TV speakers)
4. All kinds of PMS settings, including upgrading to 1.72.
Is there a PS3 setting I have missed?
Any ideas?

White replaces silver as favorite car color
2014 Mercedes Benz E Class Cabriolet by Dee Ann DurbinAP Auto Writer TROY, Mich. (AP) — Move over, silver. After more than a decade as the world's favorite car color, silver is falling in popularity to white. PPG Industries, the leading supplier of automotive paints, says 25 percent of the vehicles it supplied in the 2013 model year were white, up 3 percent from the prior year. Silver and black tied for second, with 18 percent each.

1. Yet another name...
Joining the ranks of names like "Gandra Chua" and "Sarah Jane Chua" is "Sandra Heab V. Chua", the name I'm apparently listed under in the DISCS faculty section of Peppy's yearbook. My nickname presents similar difficulties. "Sasha", "Shasha", "Chacha" and "Zsazsa" have all made appearances. Not only that, official news releases usually list me as "Sandra Jean Chua", but I'm more widely known as "Sacha Chua". So many names!

3. Way too much exercise
I got out of bed at 8 this morning and walked all the way down to Lake Ontario. Two hours of leisurely walking punctuated by oranges bought at a nearby market made an excellent start to my day, and I was satisfied by the fact that I'd (gasp!) managed to get myself out of bed on a Saturday morning to exercise.
Of course, I knew that was just another form of procrastination. I do very odd things in order to procrastinate writing articles. I even managed to vacuum and mop the kitchen floor while "taking a break from writing".
But I managed to finish the article today! I started out by drafting it as a letter to a student who had asked me for advice a few months back, and then I edited it to make the letter more general. I can't post the article on my blog yet, but those of you who watch my del.icio.us bookmarks may have an idea of what October's column for the On Campus magazine will be like. =)
I decided to reward myself by releasing another version of Planner, the personal inforation manager I maintain. (Yes, my reward system is all screwed up.) I merged more than 70 changes from the development tree into the stable tree and released a new version available at http://sacha.sachachua.com/notebook/emacs/sacha.tar.gz and all the usual places. I haven't put it up on plannerlove yet, but I'll be working on that next weekend.
Then I decided to walk to Goodwill. I ran into Tarun on the way out, and he decided to come along. We walked all the way to Sherbourne Street (a good 40 minutes' walk) only to find out that Goodwill closed earlier than I thought. It was fun chatting with him about the MBA program, though, so the extra exercise wasn't too bad.
All in all, a good day. I feel marginally fitter, but that might just be delusion. ;)

New World Trade Center Complex to Pursue LEED Gold
September 11th marked the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attack on the United States, and efforts are finally beginning in earnest to rebuild the shattered World Trade Center Complex in New York City. While many will rightfully focus on the memorial function of the new complex and its safety and security features, New York Governor George Pataki has also announced that the Freedom Tower and other buildings in the complex will be designed to achieve LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). An acronym for "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design," the LEED certification assures that the new complex will be a model of green building and will stand as a symbol of the city's commitment to a healthy and sustainable future.
The Freedom Tower; the World Trade Center Memorial and Memorial Museum; and World Trade Center Office Towers 2, 3, and 4 will all be designed to achieve LEED Gold certification and to be 20 percent more energy efficient than required by New York energy codes. The Freedom Tower and World Trade Center Office Towers will draw on four fuel cell systems for 4.8 megawatts of power, while the New York Power Authority and Silverstein Properties will buy a total of 184 million kilowatt-hours of renewable energy credits to offset the remaining power needs for the complex. World Trade Center 7, completed early this year, achieved LEED Gold certification in March. See the press releases from Governor Pataki and the USGBC and see the description and photos of World Trade Center 7 on the New York Academy of Sciences Web site.
Construction on the Freedom Tower began in April and should be complete in five years, along with Towers 3 and 4, while the construction of the Memorial started in August and should be complete by 2009. So far, federal and state agencies have committed to occupy one million square feet in the Freedom Tower. The final Freedom Tower design was chosen last year, and starts with a cubic base equal in footprint to the original towers, then tapers to form a smaller square that is offset from the base by 45 degrees. The designs of Towers 2, 3, and 4 were unveiled on September 7th. See Governor Pataki's press release and the Freedom Tower design and news on the rebuilding from the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation.

The new Melrose Place is darker, grittier and perhaps even a bit sexier than its predecessor. It also tests America's ability to suspend its collective disbelief. And it wins.
Television — and the entertainment world as a whole — require viewers to ignore reality and focus on the flashing images. Obviously no one believes Vampire Bill exists or that an ugly girl like Betty Suarez would get hired into the wild world of fashion. Those premises require a standard amount if disbelief, an amount that's given a little leeway when dealing with soap operas, where the unbelievable becomes a regular occurrence. But Beverly Hills, 90210 and its popular spin-off Melrose Place largely eschewed aliens, evil twins and the like. At least they gave us some wiggle room to pretend the happenings were, well, happening.
Tonight's premiere, however, pushed the envelope and successfully shattered our childlike ability to believe, if only for a moment, that the idiot box speaks the truth. The reality of this remake's quest to dazzle becomes abundantly clear. But we suppose that's the place to which the entertainment world was meant to land.

Gates & Steps for Dogs
Gates & Steps Adds Comfort And Safety For Your Dog
Your home may not be completely user friendly from your dog's point of view. There are areas of the house the curious pup may not be allowed to go into, areas that may even be dangerous. If you have an older dog, they may need a little extra help accessing different areas and jumping onto pieces of furniture. Make life easier for both you and your dog with our selection of dog steps and dog gates. Dog gates and dog steps help your dog get where they need to go, or stay away from restricted areas with ease. Keep your pet safe and happy in your home with the help of trustworthy dog gates and dog steps.
Free Shipping on all contiguous United States orders.
Dog Gates and Steps
Dog gates are perfect for sectioning off parts of your home that you won't want your new puppy go to or for keeping a dog out of your office while you work. There may be areas of your house with items, such as small parts or electronics that could cause your dog to become injured. Maybe you have an elegant formal dining room that you would like to keep elegant; you can keep your dog from intruding with the help of a dog gate. If you are welcoming a new baby into your home and aren't quite ready for your dog to be in the same room as the newborn, a dog gate can section off part of your home to safely keep the two separated. Dog gates fit snuggly into a doorway or hallway and can easily be opened for you to enter the spaces freely. The dog gate can very quickly be taken down and reinstalled to a different area of the house if needed.
For those with aging or small dogs, a set of steps will make it easier for the dogs to get up onto high furniture or in your bed. As your dog ages, tasks such as jumping, may become increasingly difficult. Their joints become arthritic and they have trouble reaching higher locations where that they used to enjoy. If your older dog sleeps in your bed every night, it can be quite a nuisance to have to lift the dog onto, and possibly off of, the bed throughout the night. A set of dog steps on the side of the bed will allow the dog or puppy to easily climb into and out of the bed without struggling or waking your from your sleep.
Of course we want the home to be as safe and enjoyable for our cherished pets as possible. This means restricting them from dangerous or off limits areas, and helping them into areas where they are welcomed. If your dog needs a bit of extra help in either of these areas, dog steps or dog gates can provide an excellent solution.

Low on cash and tapped out on its credit limit, the federal government will limp into an uncertain economic future on Thursday if Congress does not reach a deal to raise the federal debt limit.
Q What happens if the debt limit is not extended?
A Without the ability to borrow more money and add to the nation's $16.7 trillion debt, the Treasury will be left with about $30 billion to cover government spending that's estimated at $60 billion per day.
With the world's largest borrower in default, the effects will reverberate around the globe -- while hitting everyday Americans, banks and Wall Street investors at home. Many experts predict that the financial calamity will be worse than the fallout from the 2008 economic collapse and will drive the U.S. into another recession.
Q When will I start to feel the effects?
A The short answer: No one really knows. But the U.S. government might delay payments for everything from Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and IRS tax refunds. The value of the dollar would plunge while interest rates would skyrocket, increasing the cost of credit cards, student loans and all types of borrowing for Americans and businesses big and small -- if they even qualify for loans amid a shattered worldwide economy.
Interest rates on new mortgages are expected to rise, which would take a bigger chunk out of family budgets, slow home sales and damage the recovering housing market. Stock markets are expected to fall into turmoil. And because the U.S. would be in default, foreign governments, banks and others would take massive hits on the value of their usually reliable Treasury notes.
Q What can I do to protect my finances?
A "There's really not too much an individual can do in the short run," said Fred Foldvary, a retired economics professor from Santa Clara University who now lectures in public finance and law and economics at San Jose State.
But there are a couple of tricks, including parking any cash in a savings account to avoid the possibility of stock market chaos. Those worried about a drop in the market can turn to bear market funds tied to the S&P 500 that rise in value when the stock market falls, he said. Of course, "there is always risk," Foldvary added. "You would lose money if the stock market shot up."
Otherwise, Foldvary recommends that people keep their money in their retirement accounts, which are designed to grow over the long haul.
"Don't panic," he said.
Q How will the federal government function if it defaults on its financial obligations?
A The U.S. already owes $1.3 trillion to China and $1.1 trillion to Japan. Without the ability to borrow even more, the Treasury will have to rely on taxes and fees to keep the lights on and continue to pay an estimated 68 percent of its bills. The Bipartisan Policy Center estimates that federal spending will immediately plummet 32 percent. Goldman Sachs estimates that government spending almost immediately will drop by $175 billion -- or about 1 percent of the overall U.S. economy.
Q What's the long-term impact of this?
A According to the Treasury Department, the result of high interest rates, reduced investment, higher debt payments and slow economic growth could linger for more than a generation.

I know there is a solution to go back to version 1.81, but why?
I LOVED PMS just for this reason, it is the ONLY DLNA Server that does this. Without this option I guess I will have to try some other software packages. I have Gigabit network and plenty of CPU but why why why do I always have to transcode when there is a viable solution. I had my Subtitle preferences all setup and everything was perfect.
Anyone else with me to bring this back???

One hundred years ago this year, H. W. Clark and S. De M. Gage from the Lawrence Experiment Station in Massachusetts reported results of studies on the purification of sewage using aeration in the 45th Annual Report to the State Board of Health of Massachusetts. They found that if you aerated sewage, you achieved a clarified sewage and a reduction of Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen. A year later, 1914, a team of British researchers, Edward Ardern and W.T. Lockett, added the concept of recycling sludge, patented the process, and published a paper which first used the term "Activated Sludge." As we reflect on these past hundred years, we can truly realize the power of these discoveries.
While a few plants adopted the activated sludge process early on, its value was not recognized for many years. In fact, the activated sludge process was not implemented in many cities throughout the United States until after the Clean Water Act in 1972. Over the years, we have modified the process, improved upon it, made it more efficient, and used it to remove nitrogen andphosphorous as well as carbon. Moreover, we have come to understand the process on a microbial level, its complexity and power. I am still overwhelmed when I visit a treatment plant and see the quality of effluent that this amazing process can achieve.
Now it may be time to advance beyond activated sludge to newer technologies that can achieve the same or higher levels of treatment with less energy input. Will future technologies be as successful as the activated sludge process? Only time will tell. We can also ask what our environment would look like, where we would be, and what we would have missed without the activatedsludge process. I know what I would have missed: an incredible profession made up of wonderful caring people who I'm lucky to call friends. So Happy Birthday Activated Sludge, thank you for the past 100-years-- we are all looking forward to an even better next 100!
In 1913, H.W. Clark and S. De M. Gage reported results of studies on the purification of sewage using aeration. They found that if you aerated sewage, you achieved a clarified sewage and a reduction of Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen. In 1914, Edward Ardern and W.T. Lockett added the concept of recycling sludge, patented the process, and cointed the term "activated sludge." Today we can truly realize the power of these discoveries.

These are names you don't hear often: Nate Dogggg, Agave Mann, Trailer Tom and Nickademus Mantooth - but these four men are seen by many year after year for Colorado's ski season opening day.
The crew, also known as "Team Nate Dogggg," have claimed first chair at Colorado's season openers for years. In Dogggg's case, a staggering 17 straight years.
The crew camped out, even sleeping briefly on the chairlift to ensure their spot on first seat.
Their quest for first chair at Arapahoe Basin's opening day Wednesday began at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday morning when the posse staked their claim in chair lift lines.
Though the group described their evening camp out as "very, very cold," Dogggg, and his entourage proudly displaying shirts that read "We're with Nate Dogggg," were ecstatic Wednesday as opening day crowds began to gather around them.
Dogggg's reasons behind and the challenges he endures to make first chair, are not merely for bragging rights. Instead he says the "torch was passed to him from a good friend."
Elmer Mulkins, who caught the first chair at Loveland Ski Area for 26 consecutive years, inspired him to do the same. After Mulkins died, Dogggg pledged to catch first chair as a tribute to the camaraderie found through skiing and snowboarding.
Dogggg continues every year to catch first chair at whatever ski area opens first in the state.
"I hope I live long enough to make it 26 years in a row," he said. "Regardless though, I'll keep doing it with whoever wants to join me for as long as I can."
Dogggg and his crew were carried up by the Black Mountain Express Lift promptly at 9 a.m. after roaring crowds counted down to first chair.
"It's what it's all about: Good friends, a couple of beers and being out on opening day in Colorado," Dogggg said as he and his crew met at the bottom of the High Noon run.
Another year accomplished.
