More about this item
I love the rich, deep ocean blue of London blue topaz...it has such a calming feel. In this piece, two briolettes of these hang from hand-made sterling chandeliers with flashy blue-green-gray labradorites in them. Sky blue topaz, moss aquamarine and emerald all accompany the London blue topaz briolettes, given the earrings a cool, ocean feel. The earrings measure 2" long when hanging from sterling posts. However, the posts can be exchanged for lever back wires or ear hooks as needed.

A four-wheel-drive encrusted in silver and gold coins glints in the winter sun at a national day parade in Dubai. This is not a city with any qualms about appearing ostentatious.
However, after its humbling debt crisis and subsequent bailout from the federal government, the emirate – one of seven that make up the United Arab Emirates – has been forced to rein in some of its natural extravagance over the past three years.
Now the headline grabbing mega-projects that defined its boom years are back. Over the past fortnight the emirate has unveiled an array of grand development plans, including a new "city" which will rise from the sands just outside central Dubai and contain 100 new hotels and green spaces a third bigger than London's Hyde Park.
Breaking records is a favourite pastime for Dubai. The emirate is already home to the world's tallest building, which dwarfs the dozens of gleaming towers which would, in any other city, be considered themselves to be part of a dizzying skyline. In its shadow sits Dubai Mall, the world's biggest by area, where after browsing the designer shops visitors can go scuba diving in a tank of sharks.
The new development, to be named after the emirate's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, will include the even larger Mall of the World, with the capacity to welcome 80 million shoppers a year. Attached to it will be a Universal Studios branded "entertainment centre".
The mammoth project, which will also contain art galleries and a golf course, was announced by Sheikh Mohammed with typical bombast: "The future does not wait for those who are hesitant. We do not anticipate the future. We build it."
Just days later came the news that a 10bn dirham (£2.7bn) plan for five new theme parks had also been approved. A Bollywood-themed park showing live shows will cater to affluent Indian visitors.
Timed to almost exactly coincide with the third anniversary of Dubai's $10bn bailout from Abu Dhabi and subsequent property market crash, it is clear the country is keen to push the narrative that it has come full circle. The stock market surged on the news and the local press jumped on the announcements as evidence of a recovery.
Indicators are looking positive, particularly when it comes to tourism. Hotel occupancy is at a healthy 82 per cent and the number of foreign visitors grew by 10 per cent in the first half of the year. While other regional holiday destinations such as Lebanon and Egypt have seen their tourism industry decimated by recent unrest, the United Arab Emirates has benefited by remaining a safe haven – in part due to a no-tolerance approach towards dealing with dissent.
"Dubai has turned a corner," said Simon Williams, senior economist at HSBC. "Those who rushed to dismiss the emirate as nothing more than a bust real estate story back in 2009 have been proved wrong."
However, some question if it is too much too soon, and whether it's wise for the emirate to return to its old ways. The costs of Mohammed bin Rashid City have not been announced, but are expected to run into billions of dollars – raising concerns about financing when banks are still so cautious to lend.
"It's a hell of a statement to make in a pretty subdued international market," said a Dubai-based partner at an international property firm, who pointed out that investors in previous pie-in-the-sky projects that have since been shelved may not be happy.
The emirate is yet to fully disentangle itself from the fallout from the 2009 crash. A tribunal set up to resolve disputes related to the bailout of Dubai World and subsidiaries including Nakheel – the developer behind the artificial palm-tree shaped island that juts off the Dubai coastline – is still sifting through claims.
"Given the ongoing debt structuring and the emirate's various other problems it seems to me the best evidence available of the ruler's ego, his lack of grasp on reality and the real need for sustainable economic development," said Dr Christopher Davidson, a lecturer at Durham University.

"Positano" Top 5 Page for this destination Positano by Erin74
Positano Travel Guide: 338 reviews and 789 photos
I went to Positano to attend the wedding of a friend. If you're considering getting married abroad, look no further than Positano. It is unbelievably romantic and beautiful.
Positano feels very isolated. It's quite a journey to get here (from Rome: a train, then another train, then a bus) and once in Positano it seems very separate from the rest of the world. The city is beyond gorgeous-- building of every color spill down the hillside into the sea. Despite being perched on rock cliffs, Positano is filled with lovely foliage and blooms. The rock beach is wide and welcoming and the water is perfectly warm.
After experiencing the hustle and bustle of Rome, Positano was a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable retreat.
- Pros:The gorgeous views, adorable shops, warm waters, excellent food.
- Cons:Those horrible, endless stairs.
- In a nutshell:Not a place to visit if you're disabled-- but otherwise AMAZING.

Background: Font color:
November 23, 1984
The light, yet cold, rain drizzled down over me, shocking awake those weird bumps on my bare arms.
"Come on," I whispered, rocking back and forth on the damp porch step.
The wind picked up, letting loose a shrill howl that caused my heart to skip a few beats. If I weren't waiting for her, I would have rushed inside and huddled underneath my blanket until the creepy sounds stopped. But no, I had to sit out there and wait. She had to make me wait by being late. Again. It was supposed to be the last time she'd be late, the last night I had to spend alone. But if it would allow me to see them again, my grandparents, then I would gladly wait out in the cold, dark night instead of sitting in that house with him.
The sky rumbled, jumping my heart and nerves again. Sighing deeply, I pulled my knees closer to my chest, rocking a little less than before, but still refused to go inside. Any second, and she'd pull up in that busted car of hers. Any second and—
"Morana, what are you doing out here?"
The sound of that abnormal, deep voice sent a chill through my body that the weather couldn't dare touch.
Turning around slightly, my eyes slowly traveled up from the thick, bare, hairy legs and into his dark eyes. The white in them were red; he had been drinking that nasty-smelling drink too much again.
"I was waitin' for mom," I muttered, quickly adverting my eyes from him.
"She'll be here," he said, stepping back inside the house while holding the door open for me. "Come inside before you freeze your ass off. I won't have your mother getting pissed at me because you decided to catch a cold out here."
I did what I was told without a beat of hesitation, ignoring the stale stench radiating off of him as I passed, and felt a slight bit of comfort at the warm heat that slammed into me. Wiping my shoes off on the mat, I moved to rush up the stairs, wanting to get as far away from him as possible. Reaching the stairs, I nearly collided into a much too-tall woman with nasty bleached hair.
"Oh, she's adorable," she said, leaning down to grasp hard at my cheeks. I flinched away, only causing her to laugh. "Nick, you didn't tell me your daughter was going to be a knock-out."
"She's not mine," Nick grunted from behind us.
The woman reached out for me again, and a slight fire lit up in my chest. She had been at the house before, I saw Nick sneaking her out. The ugly woman had been in my mother's bed. I knew she had.
"Don't touch me," I said, slapping her hand away.
The amusement in her died. "Excuse me?"
"I said don't touch me," was my last response before squeezing past her and jogging up the remaining stairs.
I rushed into my bedroom, not bothering to listen to whatever else she or Nick had to say about my snapping. Gently closing my door, I threw myself on the bed, burying my head in my rough pillow. That kind of reaction from me would usually have her in the room, sitting quietly at the end of my bed until I calmed down and fell asleep. But no. She was late.
"I wish you'd hurry," I whispered into the pillow.
But she wouldn't hurry, she never did. She'd hurry if it was Allen, she always made sure to run to his every call for the past five years.
"Morana!" came a shout just as my door was yanked open.
My hands clenched around the pillow, but I wouldn't sit up; not looking at him always did me better in the end.
"Morana," Nick repeated, quieter that time. "What did I teach you about manners?"
"Nothin'," I muttered. "You don't teach me nothin'."
A weird laugh came out of him and he moved closer, the horrible smell pouring off of him and suffocating over me.
"I do hope your mother gets here soon," he said, placing himself at the end of my bed, "for your sake more than mine."
The room quieted as my nails nearly dug into the old fabric of the pillowcase. Nick suddenly stood with a sigh, and made his way out. My body refused to relax though; he'd be back. He always came back.
I cuddled up on my small bed, alone sans the ugly, dark brown teddy bear she made for me that I nearly strangled the harder my arm would wrap around it. I hated Nick. I hated him...but hate was such a strong word, one my grandpa always says not to use. It was a strong emotion—perhaps stronger than love—and can take you over. He says I should never let that happen....
"Morana, come down here," Nick called from downstairs, his voice hardly heard through my closed door. "I have dinner on!"
I squeezed the teddy bear tighter to my chest, my arm growing weak at the intense pressure I applied. No, I hated that man. I hated his voice, the alcohol-smell that drenched him; I hated every reason he existed.
Knowing Nick would intrude in my room if I waited any longer, I tossed the teddy aside and headed toward the door. Stalling, I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was well after eleven; seeing my grandparents wasn't an option any more. She had never been that late coming home before, not even if she was picking up Allen from Nick's father's house.
"I don't need her," I muttered to myself, pulling open the door.
Trudging out into the hallway, a bitter laugh crawled out of my mouth. Of course I needed her; she may hardly spare me a look, even if she sat in my bedroom at night, but she kept me fed and I needed to eat. I needed to live.
Descending the stairs, I crept into the living room, plopping myself down on the cushy sofa in front of the TV as Nick cooked away in the kitchen behind me.
"Hungry?" he asked.
I shuddered at his voice despite it being a good distance away. "A little."
"Good. I'm making hamburgers."
Hamburgers, they were my favorite. That laugh came out again, but softer that time. Nick, of all people, knew to fix my favorite meal when she probably didn't even know.
Stinging met my eyes in seconds, and I swapped at the tears that threatened to fall. I wanted my grandpa. More than anything, I wanted him. I wanted, needed, him to perform a cool magic trick to make me laugh again; a real laugh at that. Or maybe just have him do a spell to make Nick disappear; that spell would be nice.
Nick's rough footsteps against the hard wood floor jolted me from my thoughts, he was coming. As he approached, I pulled my knees up to my chest, not bothering to look up from the dark television.
"Here," he said. Looking up, he held a small bowl filled with dark, purple grapes. "You could use a snack before dinner."
I only stared at the bowl, my thoughts racing until coming to the conclusion that he was sobering up quicker than usual.
Letting loose an annoyed sigh, he placed the bowl by my side on the couch and reached for me. My body instantly recoiled, and his hand hung in the air. A confused expression crossed his face before being replaced with anger. No, not exactly anger, he seemed upset.
"Just eat the grapes, kid," he said, lowering his hand and going back to finish in the kitchen.
With a shaking hand, I grabbed the bowl, shoving one large, juice-filled grape into my mouth. My eyes went back to the blank television, and the burning sensation alerted me of the tears that wanted to fall again. If only...if only I had magic powers like my grandparents, like her, then I could get away from Nick. Get away from all of it.
Keys jingled at the door, surprising me. Placing the grapes aside, I jumped up off the couch as the door opened. A twinge of excitement struck me as she walked in looking as if she hadn't slept in days. Allen ran in after her, dragging his small backpack on the floor and meeting me by the couch.
"Hey, Ana," he said in his high-pitched voice, wrapping his tiny arm around my waist for a second. "Let's go."
"Go where?" I asked, staring at our mother as she placed her purse down, her body trembling with every movement.
"Vena, you're home early," Nick stated, walking up to her.
Vena ignored him, eyes locking on me and Allen. "Allen, go up and do what I told you."
"'Kay," Allen said, locking his hand into my own. "C'mon, Ana."
Despite his small, weak frame, he managed to tug me along. I gave Vena one last look before we rushed up the stairs.
"We gotta get our stuff," Allen explained, stopping at his bedroom.
"Why?" I asked, stealing a look at the stairs.
"'Cause mommy says."
That excitement bubbled up in me again. "We're gonna see grandma and grandpa?"
Allen shook his head, his eyes dark blue eyes shining with eagerness. "Nope. Mommy says we're doin' somethin' else."
The smile that had almost come vanished, and my shoulders slumped. "Then I'm not packin'."
I turned to go into my room, but Allen grabbed at my arm. "But mommy says--,"
"I don't care what she says," I snapped, snatching out of his hold.
A deep frown formed on his face that would usually have me apologizing in seconds, but it didn't. "I hate when you be mean."
With that, he tore into his room. Rolling my eyes, I strode into my own, heading to the dresser to yank out various articles of clothes. Before long, my bed was littered with everything I had in my drawers and my closet, which wasn't much to scream about.
My door creaked open, freezing my heart for a split second before I turned to see Vena. The heavy bags under her eyes and paleness of her skin worried me. If anything, she almost always looked her best.
"Ana," she gently said, moving in closer. Her hand reached out, causing me to flinch as she brushed aside a strand of my long dark hair. The flinch didn't go unnoticed as she lowered her arm to her side. "I really need you to pack."
"Why?" I asked, taking a step back from her. "Allen says we can't see grandpa and grandma."
Vena shook her head and spoke with a slight shake in her voice, "N-no, we aren't going to see them. We can't."
"Not right now?"
"No, not ever."
Confused, I asked, "Why?"
"Because they're gone."
"Gone where? Gone in Europe again?"
Vena shook her head once more, eyes slowly brimming with tears. "No, Ana, they're--,"
A deafening 'bang' from downstairs shook us both from the conversation. I opened my mouth to speak, but Vena shut me off, snatching at my arm and pulling me out toward Allen's room.
"Mommy?" Allen asked as we entered.
"Get in the closet with your sister," she ordered, throwing us together.
"But mom--," I tried.
She whipped her wand out, and I was flown back into the open closet along with Allen. "Stay."
The doors slammed close on us before we could say another word. Allen tried to open them, but I pulled him back into me, holding him almost as tight as I did that teddy bear; Vena hardly ever used magic, and never against us.
"What's happenin'?" he asked.
"I dunno," I whispered. "Just be quiet."
For once, he listened to me. Though that stupid whimpering he did whenever he was scared came about, it was soft; no one could hear from outside.
The noise below us intensified; glasses broke in the kitchen probably at the sound of what seemed like a body fell into something. In seconds, silence took over.
"Ana?" Allen whispered.
"Shh," was all I could say to him.
The sound of gentle footsteps coming into the room caused him to back into me a bit more before the closet door was flung open. A wonderful wave of relief fell over me at the sight of Vena, but it quickly went away after seeing how frazzled her hair was and the redness of her face as if she ran a few miles outside.
"Come here, both of you," she said.
Allen rushed into her arms before she could finish speaking. "What happened?"
"Not now, just hold onto me even if you start to feel a bit dizzy, okay?"
"'Kay, mommy."
"Ana, you too."
I hesitated, but the loud sounds of more footsteps approaching caused me to latch onto her. She held us tight before the uncomfortable feeling of something yanking at my stomach took me over along with the tight feel of a large hand wrapping around my arm.
"No!" Vena cried as the room began to spin.
In seconds, Allen's room vanished and was replaced with the dark outdoors and cold rain that poured down. I was thrown down before I could everything in, and heard more cries from Vena. In seconds, a startling green light and a gust of wind blew just over my head, awaking more of those little bumps on my arm. Jumping up from the mud, I spotted Vena trying to wrestle away her wand that a rather large man had been trying to point my way.
"Get your brother and get Christopher," Vena called to me as she struggled with the man.
Looking around, I spotted Allen pulling himself up from the ground. He wasted no time in turning and running. I followed him, seeing we were near a large log cabin. Christopher, Vena's magic friend, lived there. We had only been there once, but she seemed to trust him enough to take us there again.
"Chris!" Allen called, banging his little fists against the back door.
I rushed forward, doing the same. "Chris! We need you!"
Our calls went unheard inside the quiet house. As Allen continued on, I turned to watch Vena as the man roughly threw her down into the ground. She cried out in surprise and pain as something cracked, possibly a rib or even her leg; with the amount of power that man held when he threw her, any bone could have broke.
"Running from the Dark Lord wasn't a good thing, Nirav," the man said with a light chuckle, aiming her own wand down at her. "And having some Muggle kids? Such a shame. You would have made a great Death Eater."
Confusion wrapped over me as Vena struggled to her feet, cringing with every movement. "The Dark Lord was nothing. A weak excuse for a man taken down by a child, and you're no better. It took you almost nine bloody years to find me."
The man glared, raising the wand. "I'll deal with you, then those children. Avada Kedavra."
A green jet shot out of the wand at a rapid pace. My eyes locked onto Vena as she glanced my way, tears shining in her eyes despite the stone expression on her face.
"Mom?" I asked as the green light struck her chest.
Her expression hardened even more as she fell backwards without a sound. I took a step forward, wanting to see what had happened, but the large man placed his sights on me and grinned a nasty grin; worse than any look Nick could have given me.
"Well, well, well," he said, moving slowly towards me with the wand still raised. "Little Nirav, looking just like her mother. Bad luck for you that she was such a cowardly traitor. Avada--,"
"Avada Kedavra," came another cry.
My eyes shut tightly as a peak of green light poured in underneath my eyelids. Opening them, I caught the larger man falling down just as Vena had done.
"Morana, are you okay?"
Glancing over, Christopher had come out with his long wand at the ready.
Not answering him, I rushed over to Vena, going down to my knees by her side. "Mom?"
"What happened?" Allen asked, coming over to her other side.
"Kids, get in the house," Christopher ordered, but neither one of us moved.
"Mommy?" Allen asked, shaking her to no avail; it was like moving a doll. "Mommy, wake up. Wake up. Stop sleepin', it's not funny."
Christopher easily picked Allen up into his burly arms. "Come on kid, your mom isn't waking up."
"Why?" Allen asked, trying to squirm out of his grasp.
"I'll explain in the house," he said, moving away from Vena. "Come on, Morana, before the rain gets too bad."
The rain, I had hardly noticed it was still raining.
Moving closer, I stared into Vena's cold, unblinking eyes. She wasn't sleep; she never slept with her eyes open before. There was something wrong.... Something very wrong.
The sharp tone of Christopher's voice forced me up. I trudged away from Vena, stealing a look at her frozen body as I went. An unnerving chill rushed through my body as I kept my sights on her upon entering the cabin; she wasn't waking up. If I was sure of anything that just happened, I was sure of that. She wasn't waking up.
Vena and Nick were dead. That's how Christopher explained it. That man hurt them both, killed them both. They were actually dead. Gone. Probably up in Heaven...or maybe in that other place. Either way, they were dead, and possibly my grandparents as well or else they would have picked us up. Christopher was all we had left. We had to stay with him or else more bad men would try to find us.
Only three nights went by since that last, yet Allen never spoke a single word to me. I don't think he fully grasped the situation, and neither did I. No matter, he never spoke to me. Perhaps it was because I was so rude to him before, or because I couldn't shed a single tear no matter how hard I tried. He wouldn't speak. He clung to Christopher later in the day once he came back from work or whatever it was he was doing, and slept in his bed at night instead of sneaking into mine like he usually did. It was like I didn't exist anymore to him. To him, I went to sleep with Vena that night.
Lying in my new bed three nights from the attack with the teddy Christopher had gone to receive along with our other belonging, I tried to force myself to cry, to be more like Allen, but I couldn't. My body was all dried up like some old raisin. Right then, I wanted magic more than anything. Grandpa always told me it made the world seem a bit brighter. If I could do magic, I could fix everything.
"Chris," I whispered. Right, Christopher. He had a wand. He could do magic for me.
Setting the teddy aside, I climbed out of bed and crept into the hall. Allen's door was closed; Christopher was still awake.
Slowly making my way down the stairs, I rounded the corner into the living room to catch sight of the dim kitchen light on and Christopher sitting at the table.
"Would you please leave?" he asked, speaking to someone unseen.
I crept forward a bit more, catching sight of a rather large figure in the shadows bouncing on the wall.
"It's going to be difficult without you," said a thick voice, his accent similar to Christopher's. "We're bringing in a lot of new recruits, a few more women who will be honored to give for the cause, if you know what I mean."
Christopher sighed as the man laughed, running a hand through his thick hair. "Fenrir, I have these kids and I made a promise to their mother that I'd help if anything were to happen."
The man named Fenrir let loose another strange laugh. "Still clinging to those wizards as if they would accept you if they knew about the real you."
Christopher went to retort back, but spotted me and jumped from the chair. "You. Up to bed."
"But--," I tried to say.
He rushed over, pulling at my arm almost tight enough to break it. "I said bed."
Wincing from his tight hold, I glanced over my shoulder to catch the shadowy figure begin to fully come into sight just as Christopher nearly dragged me back up the stairs and into my bedroom.
"When I tell you to do something," Christopher said softly, yet sternly, "you do it. Understand?"
"Yes, sir," I muttered, dropping on my bed and rubbing at my arm.
He frowned a bit. "Sorry I hurt you, kid. I just don't want any strangers meeting you."
"Okay. But I just wanted to see your wand."
Christopher looked over his shoulder before staring down at me. "Why?"
"So I could see magic."
"Oh, kid," Christopher said, releasing a deep breath, "you'll be performing magic soon enough."
I sat up, neglecting my aching arm. "Really? How do you know?"
"Because you're a pure-blood."
"A what?"
Christopher looked behind him one last time before moving to sit by my side. "The magic that runs through your blood is pure from both your mother and your...real father. You do know that Nick wasn't your father, right?"
I nodded. "Mom told me."
"Good. Well, you'll certainly be able to do magic. Once you're eleven, you'll get a letter to attend the more affordable school around here, and I'll take you to purchase your first wand. How does that sound?"
I smiled a bit, but the first hint of excitement that struck me deflated; Vena should have been buying me my first wand in a few years, not a stranger. "Sounds good."
"Perfect." Christopher gave me a light pat on my back before standing. "Now get to sleep. Goodnight."
He backed away with that, closing the door as he went. I crawled back under my covers, forcing my teddy up against my chest. Whoever that Fenrir man was, I didn't like the sound of him or what he was saying about Christopher.... I didn't want to stay there, even if I would get a wand soon. Not with him at least.
"Mom," I whispered, clinging onto the teddy tighter than before.
Closing my eyes, a stray tear escaped, gliding down the side of my face and moistening up my pillow. I was crying. For once, I was crying. I wanted to escape, escape it all. I wanted my grandparents; my warm, always loving, grandparents.... And I wanted Vena.

The clock strikes midnight,
Darkness is coming for me...
My heart cries in despair
Because suffering in silence I am!
Like a fallen angel who has lost her wings
I wait for my destiny,
Bleeding inside...
Clouds of tears fill my eyes
In this empty cold night!...
Drowned in sorrow and torment
I lost my soul...
Haunted shadows embrace me in the dark!
In my solitude I just wonder,
Is the pain worth all this?...

This study discusses results of three experiments investigating whether rightdislocations are accented in Catalan, and whether they compulsorily form independent units. The latter hypothesis – at least in its stronger version – finds no support in either of the experiments. As for accentuation, results in Experiment 1 and 2 confirm that right-dislocations are mostly deaccented, though Experiment 3 offers contradictory results. Discrepancies are explained in terms of differences in the information structure in the discourse.

It was very sad in 1982 when MR. Spock died.
I guarantee that many of his fans cried.
He died at the hands of the evil Khan.
Until 1984, Spock's fans were sad because he was gone.
In Star Trek III Spock was resurrected.
That was a great idea that was selected.
When Captain Kirk died, that was also sad.
They didn't resurrect him and that was bad.
Spock and Kirk made the original Star Trek and their movies great.
But the characters in the Next Generation whined and that's something that I hate.

Our experience with Haven Builders has been amazing. Like most people, the thought of renovating and trying to live through it with three kids and a dog would be terrifying. From the initial sit down with Nathan to go over our "dream list," we felt listened to, as well as guided in re-creating our dream home. Nathan's follow through with quotes and ideas was wonderful. When we nailed down our plan, we were then introduced to the Haven Team. Lyle, Dallas, and the amazing designer Donna. The team did a walk through, felt our vibe and totally could see our vision.Communication with Haven Builders is by far what they excel in. We were totally in the loop at all times as to when to expect our trades, selections, cost and schedule via their amazing on-line website. (We could make decisions from the deck at the lake). The workmanship, professionalism and pride in what they do is evident with all their employees and trades. Our expectations have been exceeded with Haven… They have gone above and beyond.Dean & Sherry

Love it!
Let's start with what most people want tto know...can you record one channel while watching a diferent channel?It will depend on how you hook it up. I have Comcast cable, so the only way I found to do this was to use two of my cable boxes and a splitter. One box for the dvd recorder and one for your tv...this is so you can switch between the cable and the dvd recorder so that you can watch your normal cable while the recorder uses the second cable box to record your desired program. You will have to set the cable box for the dvr to the channel that you want to record..(the dvr stays set to ch 3). If you are a person that wants to record multiple shows on diffrent channels while you are away,THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR YOU. You will want to rent a dvr from your cable provider or by a tivo that will require a monthly subscription. All that being said...it is what it is, but with the above installation, you can effectively record one channel while you watch a different channel. Good luck!
I bought the recorder from walmart.com and had it delivered free. I've only had this recorder for several days, but I feel it's going to be a great asset. I had a problem at first with recording because my hearing is not as clear as it once was. I like to have the closed captions turned on. It wasn't showing them and I couldn't figure out why. I called the tech support line and after asking me what I had already tried, they said it must be defective, and I have tried everything that I could have tried. I already had a few movies recorded and didn't want to exchange it and start over if I didn't have to, so I worked with it for another day and finally found the answer, which the manual didn't mention. I had it configured with an HDMI cable and using hdmi as the input. I found by reading things on the internet that the closed captions info won't pass through hdmi. I changed the cables to AV cables and it works perfectly for me. I would recommend this recorder to a friend.
I think the BEST feature of this unit, isn't even advertised... It has the ability to take an unfinished DVD from another unit, easily convert it to this units format & then continue recording on it until finished & finalized (perfect for like previous music video DVDs I had started previously).
The worst thing I found on this unit is the really time-consuming process of renaming a recording... it's a lot like using the # pad of an early cell phone to text ... but even more labor intensive (it can take 5"-10" to rename a title).
Another Odd thing about this is that you cannot 'surf' all the channels [ie digital & (TV) analog, as with other units). You can only only select (TV) analog & surf them, & then select digital & surf them (& it sure has the ability to find a ton of them); but not a combo of both.
I think buyers should be aware of the above things; but given how few choices there are out there if you want a DVD recorder with a tuner; this is a good unit to get.
This is the only remaining dvd recorder with a built in hard drive still available in North American. Better than a cable dvr any day of the week since you can burn your programs on to a blank dvd unlike the cable dvr's. The Magnavox was unavailable for the past several months with sellers online trying to rip people off by charging over $1000 each. I was so happy when I saw it was available again. This my 3rd Magnavox hdd recorder since 2008. For anyone who records a lot and wants to permanently save certain recordings I highly recommend this Magnavox dvd recorder. One great feature is as long as you have the recorder turned on; you can go back and record anything that's been on up to the past six hours and you can easily edit out commercials. I've read that the motion picture industry wants to keep these types of recorders off the market and that may happen. The Magnavox comes in 320 GB, 500 GB and now a 1 TB. They start at only $228. I've been very happy with mine and I'll probably buy another one in the near future.
I've only had the recorder for 2 weeks but so far so good. The recorder is OK, performs as expected and is on par with similar products. I purchased because I wanted something with a tuner that gets the cable digital channels, they are not easy to find. In reviews of other products I had read that "digital tuner" doesn't necessarily mean you can get cable digital channels; prior to buying I couldn't verify that was the case, not even Magnavox support was sure; but happy to say the recorder does get the cable digital channels I use. I suppose it's possible that the recorder might not tune to some premium channels.
About the only downsides are that the hard drive automatically records whenever the unit is on except for certain situations such as playing DVD, there is no option to disable this auto record. To me this is unnecessary wear on the hard drive, hopefully if/when the hard drive fails, the unit will still be able to record to DVD. The unit records 6 hours to DVD in SLP mode, some other brands record 8 hrs.
With the switch to DTV, I needed a replacement for my VCR with it's analog tuner. I had been using a converter box with my VCR, but wanted to upgrade to a DVR. After researching alternatives, this seemed like a good compromise from TiVo with it's monthly fees. This device is not a true HD DVR, but it's HQ recording setting does a pretty good job with only a slight degrade in picture quality from HD. Setup was simple, and the tuner found all my digital channels. The signal strength is comparable to what my TV gets. The device basically operates like a VCR, but in the digital age. You program it to record at certain times, and have the option of labeling each recording. Playback is easy, and fast forwarding through commercials is simple with dedicated time skip buttons. I have not used the DVD side of this device, since I have a Blue-Ray Player and the HDD is more than adequate to record all my shows. Overall I am very pleased with this product.
I read lots of the posted reviews before buying this machine. So far it has been everything everyone has already raved about--easy to get connected and up and running, easy to program shows, plays DVD's beautifully. I have not tried to save anything to a DVD yet. I bought this primarily to record my TV shows when there are two I'd like to see on at the same time. I got this machine specifically because it has the tuner which is important for me because I run my cable directly into my TV w/o using the cable company's set top box. We use the box on the main TV in the house and I'm too cheap to pay the cable company for the additional box and their DVR. This machine is perfect for anyone who watches and needs to record lots of network TV and all the cable stations that come in on the cable that can be seen w/o the box. I love being released from using DVD's. For me, on this machine, I will never fill the hard drive!!!! This, so far is an unbelievable machine for the money.
This product fully meets my expectations. It has so many functions, which I'm sure I'll be learning for sometime, yet it's intuitively easy to get started. It also has excellent picture instructions on the different methods of hooking it up & which one you should choose. I have two left hands when it comes to electronic devices, but had zero trouble this time.
I searched all the stores for a full year looking for a decent, price-competitive DVR with a digital tuner for optional hookup to an antenna. Nothing! I was pleased to finally learn about this Magnavox sold on-line.
This DVR comes with an instruction booklet, about 100 pages jammed with functions. The booklet is sectionalized & easy to understand. My only suggestion is that the booklet should be sub-divided into beginner, intermediate, & advanced to make it a little less intimidating. But this suggestion is no big thing. The booklet is so easy to understand.
The quality, sound, & picture are great. Today I enjoyed watching a Netflix movie on it while recording a TV program.
I own a previous generation of this model (MDR 513H) that I purchased in Aug 2010 and I simply love this machine! I normally use mine about 3-5 hours a day (between recording and viewing) and haven't had a single problem with the device. The HDD drive is capable of recording in 1080p and reproduces an excellent image when viewed through an HDMI cable. If you purchase one, I would highly recommend utilizing the auto clock feature as the internal clock doesn't keep accurate time (at least mine don't#. I've found that Fox network's digital channel or PBS's analog channel keep very accurate time for your auto setting. I was so happy with the first device that I purchased a second one in Feb to keep up with all the shows I record.
I also recommend reading the review by Wajo2 for a more detailed account of this device and want to thank him for all the information he has posted concerning these devices. He has tons of info posted concerning how to operate these devices and problem solving #e.g. clock issues, soft resets, etc.)
I purchased this DVR because it has the built in hard drive to record TV shows. Although it can record to CD's I prefer the quicker and easier hard drive option. It reminds me to back when I had a VHS tape recorder. It has the built in digital tuner so it is similar. Easy to set a date/time to record just double check that you did input the correct information. I don't have or pay for, any satellite or dish. I get all I want to see for free over the air and it's hi def anyways. Over the air for free I get the standard ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, a 24 hr Movie station, a 24 hr old classic TV shows station, etc etc and since these major networks carry all the shows I watch I'm happy. I don't live in the city. I'm out in the "boonies" yet with my little digital antenna sitting next to my TV it's fine. I got this Magnavox...set it to scan my over air channels and bingo I'm off and running. I already used the timer to record a few shows. Works fine.
First, it isn't easy to navigate and I'm very tech savvy. The manual is full of inconsequential features like dubbing but virtually no information on how to program this to work with my cable service.
Second, their tech service is inadequate and couldn't answer my questions and gave me advice that didn't work. We were cut off at one point and they never called back. Friendly, however.
Third, you can only watch what you are already recording, nothing else.
Fourth, the tuner is "off" and my digital channels have different numbers on this beast: for instance, 52.7 is 52.3 on this. Tech said: "that's just the way it works."
Fifth, I'm spoiled by my Panasonic which allows me to record and watch something else.
If it weren't for the hassle of sending this back, I'd return it. It is inexpensive and it should be.
I do like the capacity of the hard drive though they encourage you to not use it but to use DVDs because the DVD drive will apparently last longer than the hard disk drive.
I've been working with wire recorders, reel2reel, 8-tracks, cassettes, and other audio equipment since we-won't-talk-about-how-long-ago. Then with Betamax machines in the 1970's then the VHS machines. I have been using VHS for my TV recordings now for decades and this is my first DVR! VHS machines and the blank tapes are not as easy to come by as they once were, so moving up into the 21st century was the best choice. I can't say how easy it would be for others to use this machine but for me it was FUN to set-up. I do have one small bit of advice... read the small print, such as: the machine does not save the 16:9 recordings in the 16:9 format. No problem for my Samsung TV as I can set the aspect ratio on the fly. For those transferring the recordings to a DVD and then to a computer, a video processing program would be needed to convert the 4:3 to a 16:9.
Other than that, I am thrilled to own this unit! It would be nice, if one day, Magnavox would create a unit that had a dual or a triple tuner, so we could record more than one show at a time. Good purchase for me.
My wife wanted me to buy her a VCR because that was the last technology she could make work. I bought this because I did not want to pay a monthly fee to either FiOS or TiVO, but still wanted to be able to record TV shows occasionally. I liked the idea that I could record a show, watch it later, and then either delete it or copy it to a dvd if I really wanted to keep it. I also thought I would like to try the whole "pause live tv" thing. I am able to do all of those things, but it comes at a sacrifice. I knew that it would record in SD, but in order to see what I am recording, I also have to watch the output in SD which just looks bad because, frankly, I have gotten spoiled by HD. I can't go back to SD. The device does exactly what it claims, so the real problem is with me, not the device. I will keep the recorder for that occasional "must have" tv episode, but I doubt that it will get much use. Maybe I should have bought her the VCR.
This is the second DVR/DVD recorder I have purchased in less than 2 years. (basically the same model) The price went down about $50.00. I have one in the living room and one in the bedroom. It is a must have if you have over the air digital TV with an antenna. I record using the built in tuner and I can also record my satellite TV signal. The set up was easy (you may need to buy an HDMI cable if your satellite receiver has an output for it) I used standard AV cables. You don't get high definition with the AV cables but we don't find that a big problem. Setting the recorder is easy and I like the feature of copying a recording to a DVD if you want to keep it for a long time or give it to someone else to watch. I also purchased this because I don't like the extra charges the satellite companies charge for their DVR setups.
This is a versatile HDD/DVD recorder/player. It includes a tuner which is rare these days. Most recorders rely on a cable box or digital converter for tuning stations. Set up was simple and operating the device is also simple. Video and audio quality are both excellent. The only drawback is that unlike previous generations of recorders, you cannot connect the output to a TV using the antenna coax. You must use HDMI, Composite video/audio, component video or S-video. If the TV is placed close to the recorder this is no problem but if you're running the signal to another room, it adds complications.
I may purchase a second unit for my summer cabin.
This unit does not play Blu-ray and has no streaming features. That's no a problem for my application but be aware of those limitations.
So far I really love this DVR. The hard drive is wonderful, no messing with DVDs. This was one, if not the only DVR, with a built-in tuner, which a lot of people still require. If you don't have satellite or cable and only use an antenna, you need a built in tuner. Yes, there are still some of us who do. It replaced a refurbished Poloroid, which never worked very good, and quit completely after the 90 day warranty expired.
It's not cheap, but it seems to be well built and I've never had any problem with it yet. It's also pretty simple to understand unlike some I've had. You can watch one channel while recording another or can watch a DVD while recording to the hard drive. You can also watch something on the hard drive while recording to a DVD.
As most reviews on this site indicate this DVD/DVR is easy to use, quick to set up and works like a VCR from yesteryear (except that you can watch one program while recording another or "chase" a program that has already started recording by watching what has been recorded so far). The unit is everything it's advertised to be and more. I wish I had found it 10 years ago. If you're using it for OTA HD recordings there is a product out there for recording in HD but it's more complicated to use. The only drawback of this unit is the lack of a programming guide, but it's not hard to find the date, channel and time of programs on your own!
CAUTION: The FCC voted on October 18, 2012 to allow cable operators to scramble ALL channels (even basic cable). The days of using a TV tuner or a machine such as this without a cable box will be ending. Every TV or recorder will need a descrambler and you will lose the ability to change channels for recording without manually changing it on the set top box. If you are planning on using this to record basic cable channels know that your days of doing so are numbered.
I have used the previous versions of this DVR for several years.
The newest version has a larger storage capacity and finally allows me to Name the recordings when I set up the program. This makes identifying the recordings much easier when you go to play back. With the larger hard drive (320 GB vs 120 Gb) I am recording in higher quality and the picture is now excellent during playback and pause. I would consider the 1 TB hard drive in the future, but I am afraid I would record too much junk and never watch it.
I am very happy there is a DVR available without fee, for recording free, over the air, broadcasts. If they ever quit broadcasting over the air, this will also work with cable.
Am I the only purchaser who can't get a defect free unit? I have owned an earlier model, H2160, for over 3 years and except for two bugs that I can live with, it has performed flawlessly. In 2011 I ordered an MDR513 model: its HDMI output failed after 2 weeks. I returned it to Walmart. Happy to see another new model released in 2012, I ordered an MDR533 in November. Using the "One Touch Recording" feature sent the unit into la-la land, where the recording times continually scrolled and recording was flawed. I returned it to Walmart. In December I ordered another MDR533; it seemed to function properly out of the box. Several weeks later, I noticed that the digital closed-captioning was displaying about half of what it should. Then the "OTR" failed as in the previous unit. As a retired electronic engineer I understand that some small percentage of any manufactured product can be flawed, but three in a row? I do appreciate Walmart's return policy; it takes some of the pain out of the bad experience. I suggest that purchasers of this unit try every function whether they use it or not.
