The closest book store to us is 40 minutes away. We had made two trips in two weeks waiting for the store to get this book in. After the second trip I logged onto Amazon ordered the book and in just a few short days the book arrived. I will use this service before making another trip to the “city” for a book. My son loved the book, finished it in 3 days. He’s currently on book 3 and again can’t put them down. He has decided that once he is finished with the series, he will donate them to the school library so more kids can enjoy them. He has already loaned out this book (1st in series) to a friend to read. The mom called and thanked us as her son NEVER wanted to read before this. Wonderful Series, very happy with purchase.

My name is Christina and I am addicted. I am not addicted to alcohol, drugs, shoes, or chocolate. I am addicted to the Twilight Saga. I am a 32 year-old woman who is proud to say I own a Twilight jacket, t-shirt, stickers, keychain, magazines, all four books in the series, the Twilight Saga movie companion books, posters, watch, the soundtracks and the original scores. My boyfriend thinks I have lost my mind and doesn’t understand why so many women like me are drawn to Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight world.
All I can tell you is that these books and the movies make me feel complete. Twilight is “my own personal brand of heroin.” The Twilight Saga books are filled with everything a hopeless romantic like me wants, two beautiful characters both aching for each other’s love, passion, action,and a fabulous plot. When I listen to the music and watch the characters falling for each other, I get a feeling in the pit of my stomach- not a sick feeling, but an ache and I wish I could just be 17 again, in the schoolyard, pining over that one guy that makes the world livable and loving him so much, you would do anything to be with him, to just feel his breath on your earlobe or his sweet melodic voice in your ear.
But what are you to do when you learn that he isn’t who you think he is. Then you love him even more. I guess when you get older, you lose or should I say miss that young love feeling that makes the goose bumps on the back of you neck stand up and the friction your heart feels when you have that first kiss- soft and sweet and for Twilight lovers, the forbidden fruit. “And so the Lion fell in love with the Lamb…”
I am happy though to tell you that my addiction is shared by so many other women, some older, some younger who feel that same attraction, an indescribable satisfaction that we get when we read the Twilight Saga books and sit in dark theaters watching the movies. While I’m sitting in my bed at night, book light on with book in hand- I am swept away into my ow

I have it connected to my home wired network and am streaming movies from a Microsoft file server.

I am streaming the following files with PERFECT results:

1080p – MP4 with DTS in MKV container (PERFECT!)
720p – MP4 with DTS in MKV container (PERFECT!)
1080p – MP4 with AC3 in MKV container (PERFECT!)
720p – MP4 with AC3 in MKV container (PERFECT!)

1080p – XVID with AC3 in AVI container (PERFECT!)
720p – XVID with AC3 in AVI container (PERFECT!)
480p – XVID with DTS in AVI container (PERFECT!)
480p – XVID with AC3 in AVI container (PERFECT!)

I had many issues streaming initially using Window Media Player then TVersity to an Xbox. HD videos kept stalling with either solution. Also the fact that the Xbox could not stream my HD MKV movies it was annoying! Using TVersity to decode and re-encode MKV to the Xbox requires a fast computer and not the cleanest way of watching MKV files. Also, response to remote control works nice a fast!! Much faster than Xbox. Boot up time is almost instant!!!!

For some reason setting the video color to 12bits in the HDMI setting causes issues where the movies will stall. Also manually setting the HDMI video to the resolution and refresh rate of your TV seems to help. For example mine is set to 1080p with 60hz.

WD Live is so good I bought 2 more (one for sister and another for my mother).

The only improvement I would like is the ability to set a Favorites/Bookmark Folder so that it’s quicker to navigate to my movies located in my server. Right now I need to dig down several layers down to access my movies.

This is great! Really helps get rid of my dogs undercoat. She still sheds but not nearly as much.
