“It was the culmination of a lifetime of searching. The end of a journey he had hoped would lead to a sacred and ancient knowledge, to a divine understanding that would bring him closer to God. Now at long last he had gained that knowledge, but he had found no divinity in what he had seen, only unimaginable sorrow.
Where was God in this?”

“My parents were visiting New York from Rhode Island, loading up on shows for their semi-yearly Broadway fix, and I’d taken the train from New Haven to meet them, We had great seats – fifth row, center – and I sat sandwiched between my giddy little sister and bespectacled boyfriend, a small man who now exists as a bust in my Dating History Museum, along with other lifeless renderings of ill-advised suitors.
All right, impress me, I thought from my seat. I want to see what this hype is all about.
(GREEN. 1. having a flavor that is raw, harsh, and acid, due especially to a lack of maturity: a green teenager.)

5 best media streaming devices available today

Do like being able to watch TV shows and movies online? If you already do this on a computer or a laptop then it makes a lot of sense to buy a device that’ll let you watch those movies on your big screen TV. After all, the experience of gathering around a laptop to watch a movie doesn’t quite match up to watching one on the big screen!

The device you need to be able to watch your online movies on your HDTV are known as media streaming devices; they connect to your home internet either via a cable or wifi, making it easy to stream content from your computer to your TV without the use of wires, or the cumbersome process of burning files to disc so that you can use your DVD player.

If you already have a lot of your own downloaded movies and media content then you might also consider a digital media device with the ability to play these files on your big screen TV. Devices like the Boxee Box and WD TV Live mean you can watch your own content as well as stream content from the internet.

Let’s take a look at the 5 best media streaming devices that are available today to help you decide which one is right for you.
