I still remember when my oldest daughter was maybe about 4 - perhaps 1990 or so - and got a birthday gift of a toy typewriter. She pulled it out of the box and exclaimed "Wow - a computer!" - I knew then that the days of the already dying IBM Selectric were surely VERY numbered. In her world "keyboard" already meant "computer". Typewriters were for the museum.Now that 20-something daughter is part of the generation that is steadily dropping their use of e-mail in favor of texting and social media.
So the world my new child enters may be radically transformed within just a few short years, in ways that if I could predict I would have had the success of Steve Jobs.
And yet - AND YET - think how much still remains the same,, and how constant the arts remain in our humanity. Symphony orchestras still make the original "wall of sound" (due respect to Phil Spector who brought it to pop music), and there is no substitute for listening to this music live in a concert hall. We still hold our children, and talk to them, and sing to them, and dance around with them. Artists make art (yes, some now use technology in their art and the nature of visual art is changing - no disconnect between art and technology) and many of those actually still use paint and canvas, pen and paper (Claes Oldenburg chose the paintbrush as the motif for his "Paint Torch" sculpture because the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts - PAFA - is an art school and museum still rooted in the tradition of painting.) We still glory in planting and tending gardens, and in transforming fresh ingredients into delicious home-cooked meals in the kitchen, and eating food communally, with family and friends. We still ride bicycles - an invention of the 19th century - to get around our 21st Century city, and increasingly recognize the practicality and utility of this "ancient" mode of transportation/recreation. The Knight Foundation's Soul of the Community study found that the things that attaches us to place are communal social gathering opportunities like the arts, the physical beauty of the community - like the built environment, parks and green space, and openness. Might not the findings have been similar in Ancient Athens?
Finally, while it also has become trite to opine that "40 is the new 30", "60 is the new 50" etc., there is truth to the fact that we are living longer (and in better physical shape) and now view what used to be a time of "winding down" or retirement, as a time vibrancy and change. WE change personally now, reinvent ourselves, the way technology is so rapidly transformed. People change careers, move to new cities, start new families, learn new skills and art forms in a way that would have been unthinkable just a few decades ago. I still play basketball three times a week, and intend to keep doing it as look as exercise and ligaments (and luck) will allow me to. And I intend to be there at my newborn daughter's college graduation and maybe even celebrate with a little on one-on-one hoops with her. I don't think this is just a creation of Boomers who want to extend their middle age indefinitely. I think this is the new normal.

Prohibition of alcoholic beverages as a national policy ended at 5:32 P.M., Eastern Standard Time, when Utah, the last of the thirty-six States furnished by vote of its convention the constitutional majority for ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment. The new amendment repealed the Eighteenth, and with the demise of the latter went the Volstead Act which for more than a decade held legal drinks in America to less than one-half of 1 percent of alcohol and the enforcement of which cost more than 150 lives and billions in money.
The President thus announced the policy of his administration — to see that the social and political evils of the preprohibition era shall not be revived or permitted again to exist. Failure of citizens to use their new freedom in helping to advance this policy, he said, would be "a living reproach to us all."
Although Condé Nast Traveller listed the Crystal as one of the seven new wonders of the architectural world, most critics have demurred, to put it politely. In response to Condé Nast, Toronto architect Thomas Payne called the Crystal "the commodification of architecture." Other critics were even less kind. The epithets that piled up against the jagged eruption on Bloor Street included "ugly," "useless," "irrational," "baffling," "grandstanding," "dead," "histrionic," "amok" (as in "run amok," a phrase usually reserved for invading Vikings or Montreal Canadiens fans), and from Toronto's own Lisa Rochon, "the building most likely to come down in the next twenty years."

The sack dress was a late-1950s innovation that came in reaction to the "New Look" of tight wasits and fill skirts. The Sack, or chemise, had no waistline at all and was roundly despised by men, who saw in the hidiing of the female form a Communist plot. Adlai Stevenson said that it came from Moscow…Popular culture (including a song, "In the Sack" by Jerry Herman) made much of the fact that, inside the Sack dress, a woman's essential figure was indiscernible… The message of the Sack dress is one of fashion over allure: it's a dress notable for repelling male attention, to which the wearer says, "So what?" Wearers of the Sack dress would rather be chic than sexy, rather be free than fancied.
The Hundred Dresses: The Most Iconic Styles of Our Time by Erin McKean
"I have been heading to NorthPark in these restless hours ever since I was a teenager. I find something fundamentally soothing about those wide, tall hallways flanked by cream-colored brick. That afternoon, I sat in the dazzling natural light of the food court and watched strangers' lives unfold, and it gave me the same comfort I found in New York when I walked to Central Park and sat beside the giant weeping willow at the boathouse. Here was a place that could absorb my loneliness. Here was a place that could connect me to the noise and laughter and chaos of a town."
Sarah Hepola's meditation on NorthPark Mall in Dallas, Texas really hits home. NorthPark was designed by E.G. Hamilton of OMNIPLAN Architects and was the largest climate-controlled retail structure in the world when it opened in 1965.
In Vancouver, the doorknob is heading into a setting sun. Its future has been date-marked, legislated out of existence in all future construction, a tip to society's quest for universal design and the easier-to-use lever handle…And, as doorknobs go, so too will go those other ubiquitous knobs, the ones that turn on and off water faucets. For they too are being legislatively upgraded.
Here's to hoping our next mayor takes time out of his schedule to talk about the importance of LEED certification.
Everyone claims to want a city, but no one here wants city living. City living by its definition is crowded. It is tolerant of other people. It is dependent on a sophisticated population that makes a hundred compromises daily so that they can benefit from the collective energy that a city generates.

International Artist-In-Residence
New Works 99.1
George Cisneros
San Antonio, TX
March 11–April 18, 1999
about the artistBorn in 1951, Cisneros was raised and continues to live and work in San Antonio, TX. He holds a BA in music from the University of Houston and a Masters of Music Composition from Ohio State University. His twenty-year career is highlighted by performances, presentations and installations at international venues including Trinity University in San Antonio, TX; Dallas Museum of Art, TX; Mexic-Arte, Austin, TX; El Museo del Barrio, New York, NY; and the Festival Internacional de Cultura in Vera Cruz, Mexico.
George Cisneros is a multi-faceted artist, a practicing composer, video artist, sculptor and technophile. His work explores an artistic language that combines performance, technology, education and community involvement. Works range from orchestral music pieces to sound sculptures and installations that employ electronic devices, video and computer graphics. Throughout his career, he has concentrated on using art and the creative process as elements for community expression. As a percussionist, performer, clinician and educator, he has worked throughout the U.S. and Latin America in schools, social centers, corporations and research labs.
about the project
In Matisse's famous phrase, an artwork should be like a comfortable armchair, allowing the viewer a moment of rest and consolation. George Cisneros' installation Pictures at an Installation goes one step further. He has placed a set of actual armchairs in conversational arrangements in the center of his space. As a computer programmed piano plays hypnotic music, viewers are invited to let their eyes linger over the mysterious concrete reliefs which line the walls. The effect is to induce a state of meditative contemplation.
The title of this work is, of course, a play on Moussorgsky's famous musical composition Pictures at an Exhibition. There is a twist, however. While Moussorgsky created a musical composition inspired by a set of paintings, here Cisneros started with his own musical compositions and created visual objects that relate to them. Cisneros ability to move between artistic disciplines is a function of his refusal to accept hard and fast distinctions between music, art and technology.
This is clear from his biography. Cisneros was trained as a musician and studied music composition, percussion, computer music and imaging. He currently runs a business as an Internet provider and website creator, while maintaining a multimedia production company. Meanwhile, he performs with Carnaval de San Anto, a dance and batucada ensemble and directs La Flecha de Tiempo, an electronic and traditional percussion trio. He has also taught, worked as an arts administrator and created public art works, including a huge video wall for San Antonio's International Center.
Pictures at an Installation is a study in the reconciliation of supposed opposites. On one hand, the musical compositions here are exemplars of the most advanced audio technology. On another, the concrete reliefs on the wall employ a form of casting that is a millennia-old tradition. There is another contrast as well. The music is ethereal and immaterial, while the reliefs are massive and heavy. Yet as Cisneros points out that, on a more basic level, these distinctions are illusory. At the root of both the electronically created music and the concrete casts is a pair of crystalline materials - the computer silicon and the concrete's feldspar. Surprisingly, given their apparently antithetical effects, these raw materials share an essential structure.
There is another parallelism in the structures of the compositions Cisneros has created in music and concrete. Both are composed of arrangements of positive and negative elements. The music is made up of units of sound and silence. And the reliefs come in two varieties. On one side of the room the concrete has been created from a mold, filling in the empty spaces to create a negative cast. On the other, the process has been reversed. Three-dimensional impressions are created by building forms on wood covered with cheesecloth and burlap. Then the concrete is sprayed over the forms - creating a positive relief.
One of Cisneros' early inspirations was John Cage, the innovative musical rebel whose ideas about chance and randomness deeply influenced the course of postwar music and art. Cisneros was particularly taken by Cage's insistence that art and life are one. His own work is dedicated to the idea of making art and music part of everyday life. This is clear here in the armchair arrangement which mimics a familiar living room. It is also an element in the forms which appear in the reliefs themselves.
The imagery varies greatly. The negative concrete casts include a work which Cisneros has titled A sudden and sever gash in the face of the earth. The only overtly political work here, it contains an incision which matches the outlines of the border between the U.S. and Mexico. Above these lines floats the Morse code for the words "liberty" and "justice." Other works have more ambiguous imagery. A representation of the movements of electrons also suggests sperm and egg. One sculpture was based on an aerial view of a garden plan, another contains a relief of a wrench. Yet others are more purely abstract. Cisneros has also included a plaster relief salvaged from his past which presents an impression of the hands of the artist and his siblings made when he was three years old. Lined up on the wall, the concrete sculptures seem to send mysterious messages. This is intentional, as their shape and stylized forms make reference to Mayan glyphs, a form of communication so ancient it begins to seem futuristic.
John Cage also emphasized the important role of chance in the creation of art. While Cisneros has moved away from that in his music, which has a tight architectural structure employing both cycles and repetition, the reliefs show evidence of the productive effects of happy accidents. When casting the concrete, Cisneros mixed in a chemical additive to accelerate the drying process. But it also created unexpected effects in the finished work in the form of unplanned textures and discolorations. Cisneros has welcomed these as visible evidence of the process by which the works were created.
Taken as a whole, Pictures at an Installation offers an engaging advance in Cisneros' ongoing effort to meld art forms, historical moments and the body and mind. He likes to quote a Tibetan description of the goal of enlightenment. It goes "In all company, happy." This work is dedicated to furthering that elusive goal.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. –
"This ground-breaking electronic payroll program underscores Spherion's continued efforts to increase operational effectiveness," stated Roy Krause, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Spherion Corporation. "It allows us to provide greater financial flexibility to our employees, while at the same time positioning our company to compete more cost effectively in the marketplace by reducing our payroll processing costs."
While direct deposit is ideal for employees that maintain bank accounts, PayCard is an option for the estimated 12 million households in the that do not have bank accounts. It offers employees immediate access to their wages, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, regardless of job or location, from virtually any automatic teller machine.
The PayCard product reduces payroll processing costs and provides employees with a more secure alternative to paper checks, which can often be lost or stolen. Electronic payroll distribution helped combat an estimated $4.3 billion in attempted check fraud in 2001.
Spherion handles more than 55,000 weekly payroll transactions, 65% of which are currently processed electronically. The company has initiated an aggressive plan to transition the bulk of its payroll to an electronic basis within the next several months.
Comdata is honored that a leading recruitment company is now part of the Comchek eCash family," said Gary Krow, president of Comdata Corporation. "In the current economy, Spherion realizes the importance of providing innovative, cost-effective methods of payroll distribution for its employees."

Hi Gus, I have a S2466 Tiger MPX board that has been running for years with a copper Intel Pro/1000 MT NIC (82540EM) without trouble. The onboard 3Com 3c905C is running too and I've never had any problems with it (that I can remember!). The Gigabit card is using the e1000 driver and the 3Com is using 3c59x with a 2.4.20-20.7smp kernel with Redhat 7.3. (yikes!) As you can see it is a machine that I have pretty much forgotten about but it is closed off to the internet and it still serves a purpose. I hope this helps.

Never miss another 'Ellie Goulding' show
Ellie Goulding
Ellie Goulding heads out on tour in December marking a welcome return to UK venues for the singer, who has spent the last eighteen months touring in the US and recording her new album Halcyon (released on October 8th).
Every live show Ellie and her band have played in the UK has been sold out and her huge success in the UK is now matched Stateside, where her single Lights has sold 2.5 million copies, reached No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and is enjoying its third week at No.1 on the Top 40 Airplay Chart.
Ellie Goulding
As her debut album, Lights, made so thrillingly clear, Ellie Goulding uses her voice as a texture in much the same way that a skilled instrumentalist would. It is a sound – in Ellie's case, an utterly distinctive and unforgettable one – that can play as important a role in her songs as any other musical detail.

text: Home Politics Obama's Campaign Isn't Worried About 2012 Despite lows in polling and the economy, the president's re-election team is confident he'll win; here's why. By: Cynthia Gordy Posted: Dec. 16 2011 12:28 AM 0 Getty Images With the start of the primary season now just weeks away, the heated Republican race is monopolizing election news. In an endless string of debates, stump speeches and interviews this year, each GOP contender has jumped to explain why his or her vision for the country is best. And as the economy continues to be stuck in the doldrums, the candidates have made their cases for how President Obama's leadership has failed. For instance, in an open letter to Obama this week, timed with the president's Fort Bragg trip welcoming troops home from Iraq, Mitt Romney wrote, "Mr. President, you came into office facing an economic crisis. It was not your doing. But after three years, it is plain that your policies have made things worse, not better ... It is a disgrace that those who are now returning from Iraq join other Iraq veterans suffering from unemployment above 11 percent. In the face of such economic hardship, fine words welcoming veterans home are insufficient." Although Obama's national approval rating improved a bit after hitting an all-time low in the fall, his marks on the economy remain at a record low. By some accounts, his re-election chances are doomed. This week the Obama campaign, however, explained a decidedly sunny outlook on the state of the race. An Erratic Republican Field At the top of the campaign's list of reasons they're feeling OK about things is the field of Republican challengers. "The Republican Party has kind of split in two," said Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod in a reporter's briefing, describing two separate factions: populist, Tea Party-driven social conservatives and center-right corporate Republicans. "But all the energy is on the Tea Party folks." Romney, whom Axelrod places in the more traditional wing of the GOP, has tried to gain admission to the other side by reversing many of his previous positions -- now supporting a repeal of Roe v. Wade, a constitutional amendment outlawing gay marriage and a plan to send 11 million undocumented immigrants back to their birth countries. Yet for his efforts, Romney continues to stall at around a quarter or less of the vote in national primary polling. Newt Gingrich, the party's current front-runner, has gained favor as a bold reformer with his plan to cut more taxes for the wealthiest Americans and even a proposal to put poor children to work as school janitors. But the Obama camp says these ideas would be harmful in a general election. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. "I don't think that the Republican caucuses reflect mainstream views," Axelrod said of the further-right positions that GOP hopefuls are claiming this primary season. "The longer this race goes, the more you're going to see these Republican candidates mortgage their general-election campaign to try and win the nomination." In the meantime, he said, the long, protracted race to out-"right" one another is only helping the president. A Grassroots Ground Game Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Marina and The Diamonds Nude Lip Look: Retro with a Twist
Those of you on Instagram (@makeup_box) got yesterday's sneak-peek at this look! This is a rather Classic look with shapes and colors that that would pretty much suit anybody. You would just need to adjust the colors you use depending on how pale or deep your skin tone is. You would need:
- 2 matte shadows: a pale beige (you can use a pressed powder) and a dark brown (Revlon Rich Sable)
- black gel liner (Maybelline is a good option)
- 2 sets of false lashes; a natural-looking full-strip for the top lashes, and a strip of separated clusters on a clear strip, like below
- a soft beige-pink blush (NYX Angel) or anything that doesn't really stand out too much on your skin
- a nude lipstick (I used Lime Crime Coquette)
- a pale mauve-pink glass (Revlon Colorburst in Crystal Lilac)
First begin by filling in your brows lightly with a natural-looking pencil or a brow powder. Marina's brows are usually quite dark but not too hard and overly-defined.
For the skin, conceal any flaws and set with a matte powder, but don't overdo the coverage because you're going for a luminous-matte look, not a flat look. And her cheeks are always quite natural so don't overdo the blush with anything too shimmery or too bright.
Step 1: Apply the pale beige all over the entire lid from lash line to brown bone.
Step 2: Apply the deep brown shadow along the hollow of the socket line.
Step 3: Smoke the brown upwards towards the brow. Leave just the brown bone clean. Wing it out slightly at the outer corners. If the beige on the mobile lid (near the lashes) has been muddied, simply reapply the pale shade again.
Step 4: Apply your gel liner along the upper lash line and end it in a flick. Follow the lashes all the way, down and then out in a soft curve at the outer corners. Marina's flick starts quite low so the look is more retro and isn't that "catty".
Step 5: Marina doesn't have any skin showing below her lashes, which means you will need to run the gel liner along the tightline, under the upper lashes. Make sure you don't see any skin there.
Then run a matte beige (Nars Rue Bonaparte) or white liner along the lower lash line.
Step 6: Apply full strip lashes to the upper lash line. (I used Ardell 120 Demis, as usual.)
Step 7: The fun bit is the lower lashes. You can buy a box of clusters, but it is far easier (and looks nicer) to cut up the full strip of cluster lashes above, so you have individual chunks with a wide, flat base rather than a point or a knot.
Begin from the outside and work your way in, pasting the lash clusters top-down over your natural lash line. If you need to shift any clusters so they're spaced evenly, just reapply glue and place them back on. Don't paste them them on the waterline itself.
Step 8: Apply a nude lipstick to your lips and then blot lightly. (Scroll up for product listing!)
Step 9: Top your lips with a pale pink-mauve gloss just for a bit of a cool-toned sheen. (Scroll up for product listing!)
Step 10: Using your liner brush and the gel liner again, draw a V to place the base of Marina's signature "heart"-shaped beauty mark. It's easier that trying to draw a heart from the bow shape at the top.
Step 11: Simply fill in, and you're done! If you need to edit any mistakes, use a tiny lip brush dipped in a little oil-free makeup remover and gently clean up the edges.

"Art is beautiful. It's all around us and makes you see the world in a different way. Anyone can learn to paint, it just takes time, but when you do, you never look at clouds the same way or water the same way or even at the beach the same way." These are the words of Westbury's own artist and teacher Laura Meshover. Her captivating oil paintings exhibit the very essence of photo realism.
"I always knew I wanted to be an artist even from way back at a young age," explained Meshover. "I used to take painting lessons in my neighbor's basement when I was a little girl. You can't do that kind of stuff anymore," she said with a laugh.

The wrestling team at Westbury High School looks forward to a fresh start this season. Last year, they struggled to stay atop the Nassau Conference, but this time, the team has a lot of valuable pieces that are crucial for them to flip the script and potentially climb to the top of the standings.
One of the shining stars in the school's team this year is the dominating Raeco Jackson. For the past two seasons, Jackson has had an extraordinary winning record in the 113 and 120 weight classes. "Last year, my record was 28-5 and the year before that it was 30-5," he said. With a total record of 58 wins and 10 losses, he has won 85 percent of his matches. His impressive feat helped Jackson receive all-county honors last season.

FOSS on the front lines of business
Doghouse – Working Smarter
Start-ups, resource-poor enterprises, and nimble organizations turn to Free and Open Source Software to help solve their business problems.
A universal truth operates in countries around the world: Small and medium-sized businesses generate between 80 and 90 percent of the private sector industrial wealth (i.e., non-government, non-military, non-agricultural). Although large companies that manufacture such things as cars or provide such services as telephone communications employ lots of people, the greatest number of people employed and the greatest amount of products produced and services provided come from companies employing one to 500 people.
Many of these companies last only a few years before going bankrupt, merging, or being bought, but during their existence, they generate jobs, develop products, and inspire others. They are the core of business enterprise. Using an example from the automotive industry, these companies manufacture many of the parts that go into the creation of the cars – and a generous set of replacement parts for the aftermarket.

(...the HARD way)
* If you don't like tinkering and don't have a reasonably powerful PC similar or better than my system below (Windows XP, dual core, dedicated graphics card), don't even bother reading further. PlayOn or TVeristy Pro are better options to try instead.
Since my original post, I've been able to improve things with different settings and now a completely different process. I'll leave the original post below as a reference for the old settings.
3rd new, improved process (use for best results):
This method allows you to stream screen capture (or anything) from VLC as an MPEG2/TS HTTP stream, passed through TVersity directly without re-transcoding twice (like my earlier attempts). The result is better quality with lower CPU usage and more fine control over the transcoding.
software used:
TVersity older version 18.104.22.168 (instead of 1.9.3)
UScreenCapture instead of SCFH DSF (couldn't get SCFH to work in VLC)
SQLite Database Browser
lowered Stereo Mix Recording Volume to 80%
VLC Streaming, select UScreenCapture and sound card
set the UScreenCapture region manually:
720x400, 30fps
show more options and add this to end:
:dshow-caching=500 :dshow-aspect-ratio=16:9
Next, Next to output
Add HTTP output
select Transcode MPEG2/TS
Paste this over the command line (settings updated to fix audio problem):
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=7200,fps=30,acodec=a52,ab=192,channels=2,samplerate=48000,vfilter=ca nvas{width=720,height=400},audio=sync}:duplicate{d st=std{access=http,mux=ps,dst=:1234/go.mpg}} :sout-mux-caching=5000 :sout-transcode-high-priority :no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap :ttl=1 :sout-keep
Press Stream
Now, the tricky part:
In TVersity add an Internet Video mms:// stream, because it won't take an HTTP link
Advanced: select Never Transcode
Stop sharing and exit
Use SQLite Database Browser to edit admin.ab and medialib.db
Program Files\TVersity\Media Server\db
find the mms:// links you added and change both files to (using your local IP):
in medialib.db only, find (below your mms link):
replace with
Save both .db files
Start TVersity, Start Sharing
Now your VLC MPEG2/TS stream should play directly on the FAT+ at full resolution without TVersity transcoding. If you get an error the first time you try to play the stream link, just select it and play again. it should play fine the second time.
2nd try improved settings (outdated):
I'm not using these anymore either, but these settings gave a much improved, higher resolution and smoother picture compared to my original settings. The result was decent, but I moved on the the VLC direct method above to avoid double transcoding.
used TVersity older version 220.127.116.11 (instead of 1.9.3)
In SCFH DSF, set the properties to:
512x288, 30 fps
removed the Live source from Expression encoder, then added a new Live source (to get the settings to stick)
changed Expression Encoder video to:
512x288, 30 fps (and checked ensure multiples of 16 option)
manually edited TVersity config.xml and profiles.xml
<transcode when="pprofile" optimize="quality" connectionSpeed="WIRED_HIGH" downsampleForConnectionSpeed="false" audioCompressionRatio="4" videoCompressionRatio="8" disableDecodingClock="true" wmProfile="wmv8" wmEncodeDShow="true" audCapDriftCompThresh="0" audCapStereoMix="false"><maxVideoInfo width="1920" height="1080" bitrate="16000000" fps="30"></maxVideoInfo><minVideoInfo width="0" height="0" bitrate="0" fps="30"></minVideoInfo>
<cache maxSize="8192" minSize="3072" timeshiftInterval="0">
main things to note, which are not settable in the GUI:
minVideoInfo fps="30"
<transcodeTarget audio="audio/mpeg" video="video/mpeg2" photo="image/jpeg"
onlineAudio="audio/mpeg" onlineVideo="video/mpeg2" onlinePhoto="image/jpeg"/>
<maxVideoInfo width="1920" height="1080" bitrate="16000000" fps="60"></maxVideoInfo>
Original post below
These are my notes from trying to stream Hulu and any other browser viewable video to the Freeagent Theater+ for free. I tested PS3 Media Server, VLC, the old Windows Media Encoder and a handful of Directshow screen capture filters. I ended up using TVersity, Expression Encoder 4 and SCFH DSF screen capture filter.
The end result is not great, but tolerable. My playback resolution on the FAT+ is 480x256, 24fps, though the frame rate actually looks lower than that and is a bit jerky. The problems are probably due to the multiple transcodes and different frame rates. I've watched a few shows from 30-50 minutes in length and it holds up for the duration.
This is still experimental, but I hope it can help others trying to do the same thing. The double transcoding is less than ideal, but I haven't had any luck getting TVersity to pass the mms stream directly to the FAT+. I also don't know if there's any other way to directly stream the Directshow screen capture and audio to TVersity or to the FAT+ with other free software. Any suggestions to simplify the process or stream directly to the FAT+ would be appreciated.
WARNING: This only works on a Windows XP PC. I don't know if this could work on Vista or Windows 7, but there will undoubtedly be some pitfalls and different configuration options.
You will need to figure out your firewall, router and networking settings on your own.
If the FAT+ doesn't play the video stream, stop sharing in TVersity, exit then relaunch and start sharing again. Try to play on the FAT+ again. To make sure TVersity is working, you can add an existing video file to a Library folder and try to play it.
I delete the Internet Video stream and add a new one in TVersity for every viewing session. Keeping the same name seems to grab old cached video sometimes.
You can try different settings in TVersity, but the settings below are pushing the limits of my PC. If you have a beefier PC, you can probably raise the resolution and quality.
I mainly tested with Hulu and Youtube 360p streams. The bottleneck seems to be the TVersity transcoder, so higher resolution and Expression Encoder settings don't seem to improve things.
Known Issues:
On Hulu, when one video ends and the next one auto-plays after that, TVersity's transcoder seems to go into slideshow mode (extremely low, unwatchable frame-rate). Not sure why this happens. I have to stop sharing and exit, then restart TVersity. Expression Encoder can stay running though.
Some intermittent audio crackle.
System Requirements:
Tested on Windows XP with current updates

Kudos to you for the descriptive guide - I will add a link to my sticky post.
I do have a question, are all these steps necessary to stream just Hulu? I only tried tversity once, and have used playon since. I see you are discussing streaming mpeg2/ts - is this an alternative to local file sharing then? Wondering why you would transcode when the FAT+ plays them natively. I just want to clarify what exactly this is designed for.
Thanks a ton Plarsen!

Thanks, although it's more of a work-in-progress than a complete guide.
The point of these experiments is to be able to live-stream anything you can see on your PC to the FAT+ running firmware 2.20 (without buying PlayOn, etc.). You can't open Hulu video links or network TV sites on the FAT+ natively. With this method you can play anything you can watch in a browser on your PC on the FAT+ anywhere in your house.
This wouldn't be used for watching anything the FAT+ can already play from a shared folder. It's meant for quick live-streaming of internet TV, without having to download or re-encode anything. I only use TVersity to send a playable link to the FAT+ (since you can't otherwise enter a stream link in the FAT+ interface).
Think of it as the digital equivalent of running a long TV-out cable connected from your PC to wherever your FAT+ is located.
Unfortunately, you have to start playing the video on your PC and you don't have any control from the FAT+.
It seems to work well enough for me and saves me from moving my PC or laptop from room to room to watch certain shows or videos. After you've set it up once, it only takes a couple minutes to start it up and start watching something after that. Then you can just leave it running and watch multiple shows, as long as they are played in the same screen area.
I've played Hulu, ESPN3 (four feeds at once), Justin.tv and other streams that don't work in Mediafly, but you should be able to play just about anything.
