Now that Obama has been reelected I wonder if all those who cancelled their subscriptions also left the country?
Why endorse any American president and risk losing the 48% of the American readers that voted to Mitt Romney. What value did you hope to add to the American election? None, as far as I can see. Next time, butt out.
People appreciate integrity. People who won't read because they disagree exemplify a state of ignorance rampant in the republican parties blindness to reality..I doubt if those who would be lost would understand this magazine anyway!!!!

I want to see some debate about democracy itself. After all, the truth can withstand disagreement. Only falsehoods must be protected from heresy.
The Economist has disappointed me, and I suspect a large number of its readers, with this endorsement. A good part of judgement lies in discerning between what a man will say and what a man will do. The Economist's naivety in this case will be remembered. A new nation has been born. The U.S.S.A.
Or, the United States of Obama.
Given the massive expansion of the portion of the economy which the Federal government occupies, the effective collectivization of 1/7th of US GDP, and the resulting expansion of the US national debt to over 100% of GDP, all under the current President, can you please explain to me how your position supports your publication's founding statement that _The Economist_ believes in "free trade and free markets"?
Well its finaly good to see the face behind the transformation of the Economist to the Fox News Sensationalist liberal ideology based magazine that it is today.
Thanks for removing all objectivity to the magazine, and just repeadetly serving up the same old religious feel good liberal idealogy void of critical thought, because we need more mindless self affirming fox news like sources to make us feel good.
Or perhaps it is you serving up the Religious hate when confronted with facts and opinions that don't conform to your ideal.
06/11/2012More on sales? Retail sales have grown at their slowest pace for almost a year as shoppers stick to buying only essential items, according to new research. Like-for-like sales were down 0.1% in October, compared with the same period last year, a study by the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and professional services group KPMG showed. While total sales were up 1.1%, against a 1.5% rise the year before - the slowest growth in total sales, excluding Easter, since November 2011. It follows a surprise hike in September when like-for-like sales were up 1.5% and total sales were up 3.4%, which the BRC's director general described a "something of a false dawn?. ?October?s poor performance wasn't a one off," Stephen Robertson said. "Year-to-date average growth hasn't outpaced inflation meaning overall sales volumes going backwards." October's online sales were especially poor, he said, adding that the last three months include the two weakest growth rates recorded in four years. Falling consumer confidence means people are limiting spending to essential items and are cautious about committing to big-ticket and discretionary buying," he said. EURO is a history then? Talk of Greece exiting the euro will end after critical votes in parliament this week on new austerity measures, labour reforms and the 2013 budget, Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said on Sunday. Here is clear case of no sales, no jobs period I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA
Romney is a man that changes with the wind direction,
After four years, another man has:
~saving the American auto industry,
~pulling us out of the greatest recession we've ever experienced,
~killing the biggest terrorist since Hitler,
~ending an unfortunate war in Iraq and setting a date certain deadline for getting us out of another war in Afghanistan,
~making it illegal to pay women less than a man for equal work,
~easing the burden of tuition interest of college students,
~extending health care to millions and slowing the inflationary cost of healthcare dramatically,
~deftly ridding the world of Khadafi
~supporting tax credits for new energy sources for America,
~signing the Dream Act that gives citizenship to children of immigrants who were born in this country,
I would have a hard time not giving for this man my vote on Tuesday.
This interview only confirms how right I was to cancel my subscription in response to The Economist's stated reasons for endorsing Obama. On the one had, the Editor says the President's record supports the magazine's endorsement. Come again!?!?!? What record? His only claim to success is an outcome assumed to be better than a counterfactual that things would have been worse without his ill-conceived stimulus. Not worthy of endorsement. On the other hand, as for why the magazine didn't endorse Romney, the Editor argues he couldn't simply look at the governor's record, but has to consider what the candidate is "saying" (as if Obama's promises in 2008 were realistic and delivered!!!!). What an upside down logic. This makes no sense. The magazine could easily and logically argued for abstention. Pathetic.
The Economist is one of the most objective new outlets you can come across. The Economist also took a very moderate stance on this presidential election. There were many articles on what a great candidate Romney is, and he should have been able to easily sweep the presidential election because of the state of our economy. But he didn't because he didn't have to right campaign strategy and the VOTERS saw right through his wobbly platform.

What an upside down logic. This makes no sense. The magazine could easily and logically have abstained. Pathetic.
There are two things I would like to see the Economist do.
(a) Analyse the effect the media has on elections in the US - It seems to create an environment in which hate and anger are the best marketing tools for the candidates - is this the case?
(b) Is there any basis for a grand conspiracy theory to the effect that the Republican strategy was to block Obama's program so they can blame him for failing?
(b) has been right in front of yoru face this whole time. If you didn't see it or refused to see that is your issue.
Time after time House Republicans have said thay they are blocking legislation because they want to see Obama fail. Could go two ways: If he wins, Obama can't get reelected, so no point in making him fail. But I see the alternative, driving the US economy off the cliff in December just out of sheer spite.
If Obama's only accomplishment was a reversal of -9% annualized GDP growth and monthly job losses of 800 000 per month, to neutral, it would be sufficient to deserve re-election.
That the man has prevented an economic depression and gotten the economy growing again, eliminated a staunch enemy of America (Bin Laden), extended health care to millions of Americans who previously had none, and has done it all in the face of remarkable hostility and intractable opposition is a performance par excellence adn without comparison in recent American history. I struggle to imagine who could have accomplished more while facing such opprobrium from the other side.
That this election is even close, says a lot about the American voter. I never forget what Sir Winston Churchill said: "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with an average voter." The American electorate who made the world suffer through two Bush Jr. presidencies, prove Sir Churchill correct in spades. And there is a good chance, the may well do so again in 24 hrs.
As usual, the Economist summarized the difficulty in this election: the ambivalence that each candidate inspires. For Romney I wonder how he would have fared choosing someone like Portman and developing a moderate conservative agenda, rather than being so tied to the Republican Congressional party. For Obama I wonder how he would have done, for example, developing an infrastructure program, for coordination of energy policy with Canada & Mexico and a more incremental approach to medical care.
Were the GOP Primary of a different character, your idea of a more conservative agenda may have won Romney the election. As it was, he spent seemingly forever grappling out a victory against characters like Santorum.
Tick-toc, tick-toc...hours to go before tsunami hits, one and done and then back to Chicago so he can become the protester in chief, or better yet, maybe we can send Obama to the European countries so he can accelerate your economic demise...brillant When Americans make a mistake, we are soon to correct it within four years. Do not ever discount the American people. Can you hear the tsunami...it will hit within 24 hours!
"When Americans make a mistake, we are soon to correct it within four years."...seriously??? Two words - George Bush.
Dangerous to declare China a currency manipulator? With all of your resources you certainly know that China has already declared a trade war on the U.S. and the rest of the world.Do you suggest we simply allow China to continue without standing up to them and requiring a level playing field? Trade works both directions.
Romney believes he only needs tax breaks and reduced spending? Are you intentionally forgetting the dramatic increase in revenues from a vibrant economy? And he is not talking about finding phantom tax deductions, he is talking about reducing tax rates but removing some of the existing deductions which will still balance out. Remember 1986 and Reagan? Top rates reduced to 28% in exchange for fewer tax breaks? Even investment real estate deductions were removed and the existing real estate ownership was not grandfathered. Old tax laws had 90% top rates but provided huge tax breaks for specific economic behavior . . . the congressional tail wagging the dog. Government trying to dictate activity.
Obama has never demonstrated a desire to work with Republicans. How can sit there and calmly talk like he magically transform in a 2nd term, as if this is actually the Republicans fault? Obama couldn't even get a single democrat vote for his last budget proposal.
Either The Economist now has a political agenda they are trying to mask or they limited their research on the endorsement to Obama's talking points. Please stop this and let's restore some sort of intellectual honesty!
"Intellectual honesty"? If you would like to discuss intellectual honesty, please tell me, how exactly will Romney spark this "dramatic increase in revenues"? How will he a create such a "vibrant economy"? Is it by closing tax loopholes that will primarily benefit corporations and hurt the middle class? Or is it by increasing spending for the military? Or maybe it's by lessening government regulation, allowing investment banks and corporations do reenact the irresponsible behavoir that got us into this mess in the first place?
Just for the record, the dogmatism of and refusal to negotiate on behalf of the Republican party are the primary reasons Obama was not a more partisan president. To quote Mitch McConnell: "Our top political priority over the next two years should be to deny President Obama a second term in office". I think that should sum it up.
Corporations don't share "tax loopholes" with individuals, they each have legal tax "deductions". Romney wants to reduce tax deductions while reducing tax "rates". Low tax "rates" provide an incentive to just pay the tax now rather than find ways to defer or avoid taxes. While military spending is spending, at least it provides private sector jobs and promotes "Peace Through Strength" and reduces the odds of the U.S. being dragged into an armed conflict with a formal government, the war on terror is bad enough.
While some regulation will always be required, Obama is using regulations to kill private business and thus jobs. So yes, many regulations will be eliminated to get government out of the way and allow private business to thrive to everyone's benefit, especially the middle class. Keep in mind that corporations are run by individuals and there are individuals that act in selfish and greedy ways. Regulations and laws need to address that bad behavior and actually be enforced. But regulations should also be written in such a way that they aren't promoting bad behavior because they make no sense. One of the biggest debacles put in place by democrats was the attempt to force lenders to make home loans to people that couldn't afford the loan payments. Stories abound of claimed incomes that were never verified by the lenders. 2 forces were at work, greed to make money on the loans and self defense to keep the government off their backs. That in turn lead to credit swaps which did not require any supervision or regulations. Boom, the government tail wagging the dog.
Sorry, but Obama did't give the republicans an opportunity to even try and work with him. It was his way or the highway. Obamacare was rammed down the repbulicans throat because they didn't need republicans and they wanted to claim victory. They even passed the law in an incomplete form because they lost a seat when Ted Kennedy died. And Mitch McConnell didn't make the comment about defeating Obama the day after Obama was elected. That was in response to the way he was trying govern in a purely partisan way. So please check your dates and context before repeating democrat talking points. And I think that should sum that up!
Who do you trust most to get America back on its feet economically and would exercise control over wasteful spending of hard earned money by every living soul in this country and yet provide a safety net for unfortunate poor souls in their struggle for every day survival and at the same time provide leadership and courage to deal with extremist who want to harm or kill innocent Americans.
If you can answer this then you have voted for the wright person.
My apologies but i forgot to mention is terrible reprd on the economy and the col;ossal deficit as well ashis war on religion
KIt is unfortunate that i had nor noticed that youe editor in chief was a Socialist. Picking a presaident who outsorced his leadership to Pelosi and Reid, apologised to everyone on USA's behalf and lost an abassador to Al Qaida out of incompetence tells me that by cancelling my subscription was the right thing to do.
Another illiterate who does not know what Socialism means....
Please cancel your subscriptiion. We don't need more dubmasses clogging up the comment forums.
And it's not even because you support Romney. It's because you can't articulate a case for him or against Obama (even with your terrible spelling and grammar).
Did John just finish high school?
Seriously? Is he old enough to drink?
I'm not saying this to stroke John's ego so that he thinks he's still young enough to interest a university co-ed. I'm asking because, from whence does his "wisdom" come? Is he even old enough to know who John Major is? To have voted at that time? To have been working a full time job back in those years?
Got news for you fellows: Barrack Obama means you lose your jobs, too. (Think about it. Despite your obvious shortcomings, I think you will get it.)
That's funny that an Obama supporter would call ANYONE fiscally irresponsible. You can judge Mitt by what he says he will do and support his chances of success by his past performance. I'll take his experience any day over that of a mediocre community organizer who has shown his lack of leadership and financial acumen over the past 4 years.
In fact I just heard Obama speaking (yes I do listen to both sides and look at all the issues). He spoke of the need for a strong middle class and strong ladders so that all people have an opportunity to make it to the middle class. While I agree that a strong middle class and opportunities for all are extremely important, I have to say that I laughed when he spoke of strong ladders... Would that be the struggling economy, the huge increase in the numbers on food stamps, the dependence on unemployment (with Obama getting rid of the responsibility to be actually looking for a job - even Bill Clinton supported that). A hand out is not the same as a hand up. His policies are more geared at securing a voting base than truly helping individuals in the lower and middle classes. Any parent who has to use tough love to help make their kids independent gets this concept.
I look at the facts. Obama has had the slowest growth of spending than any President in recent memory (including the much vaunted, supposedly fiscally conservative Reagan). The only reason deficits are high is because the revenues fell off a cliff, thanks to a tanking economy caused by his predecessor's mismanagement.
Your viewpoint is akin to a cancer patient now undergoing aggressive treatment and blaming his current doctor for his pain when his previous oncologist misdiagnosed him and missed the cancer.
Sadly, the rest of us non-Americans don't get a vote, and guys like you get to impose leaders like Bush Jr. on the rest of us.
There's another reason — the Bush tax cuts.

The Changing Face of Evolutionary Theory?
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
Series: Reviewing "Darwin's Doubt" (11 entries)
Saturday Science Links: December 6, 2014
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Series: Creation, Evolution, and the Over-Active Imagination (2 entries)
"The Language of God" Book Club – Chapter 4
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design (5 entries)
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Series: The Human Fossil Record (20 entries)
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Caution! Design Arguments Ahead
Design arguments have been around forever and expressed in various ways. Most of them fall into what we call natural theology, which is the process of inferring something about the existence and nature of God by the inspection of nature.
Understanding Evolution: The Evolutionary Origins of Irreducible Complexity, Part 1
I will take some time to clarify exactly how Michael Behe, the biochemist and Intelligent Design (ID) proponent who has most extensively developed the "irreducible complexity" argument, uses the term.
Series: Understanding Evolution: Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence (4 entries)
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment we explore how evolution is a theory in the scientific sense, how it is supported by converging lines of evidence, and how it can make accurate predictions about the natural world, using whale evolution as an example.

Not sure, Disney "missed the boat" on Alice In Wonderland. That film was terrible despite the box office numbers.
The film was just released and already Disney has a sequel in the works. This shouldn't really comes as a surprise, but one would think they would wait until after the weekend? Mitchell Kapner (Oz The Great and Powerful, Romeo Must Die) has been hired to write the next chapter of Oz. He would penn a script that would follow the adventures of Oz played by James Franco.
"Kapner came up with the concept and ideas for the origin story of Oz, basing it on the classic L. Frank Baum books, pitching it to producer Joe Roth, who set it up at Disney, and writing the initial drafts. He shares screenwriting credit with David Lindsay-Abaire, who came on board later in the process".
This seems like a smart move if Oz The Great and Powerful is a success. Disney missed the boat on Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland as that film became the third highest grossing film (internationally) in 2010.

Not sure, Disney "missed the boat" on Alice In Wonderland. That film was terrible despite the box office numbers.
I like to think that someone at Disney said, "Yes, it made a boatload of money, but did you see that dance scene?"
Like it matters to Disney really.... the money they use to make a sequel, is the same amount of money Mickey uses to wipe his ass with.
I can imagine this: (As he's taking a shit) "What an OZ sequel? Suurrrre!!! Check my pant pockets on the ground right there.... I think i have a few Million in that left pocket from last night..."
Apparently you guys don't speak for a majority of the young adult crowd who loved Alice in Wonderland (as I did enjoy it for what it was). Of course most women and girls under the age of dead are Johnny Depp fans and will pay any amount to see him in a movie. Watch for the Lone Ranger to be a medicre or horrible movie, in your opinions, but do well at the box office...
The main phrase here is "IF" Oz the Great and Powerful does well. I doubt it will do poorly at the box office though. I'd like to see a Disney version of 'Return to Oz'. I still remember seeing the old version and it was pretty bad in my opinion.
@ GothicStorm....'Return To Oz' was Disney.
A little surprised that they've greenlit the sequel already, but not surprised it'll be getting a sequel. I didn't realise until recently that Baum wrote something like 14 books set i Oz, so there's a lot of material to play with there if they want to set up a franchise (assuming Warners don't have the rights to it all).
well i just watched the Great Oooze, wow what a bore!! watched it with my daughter she' diden't like it also shit most people that i talked to coming out of the show diden't care much for the Great Oooze, lol.. and Alice in wonderland was a rainbow crap fest too. damn i thought Disney would be better than that. oh well..
They're saying about 75mil opening which to me seems low when compared to the 200mil budget. Of course nowadays studios rely more and more with overseas numbers provided they're also doing that part of the distribution.
Even though they may start planning with a sequel it won't be til they see what multiple it does here domestically before really moving forward. I think a profit is pretty much guaranteed though since Disney is handling most of the distribution anyway
zilla lol, still I'll be checking it out albeit with lower expectations

Mixed Succulent Wreath
- Exclusive
- Online Only
- Summary
This living wreath captures the wild beauty of succulent plants with its gorgeous array of colors, plump textures and fascinating natural forms. Varieties of succulents are artfully hand arranged and planted into a wire ring filled with moss and soil, creating a wall-hung succulent garden that will grow and fill out over time. This eco-friendly live wreath thrives in a bright location with minimal watering.
- 12" diam.
- Made in USA.
- A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.
- Use & Care
- Upon receipt, carefully remove the wreath from the shipping carton. Hang the wreath or use as a centerpiece. When used as a centerpiece, place on a tray to protect the furniture's surface. When mounted to the wall, allow the wreath to dry thoroughly to prevent possible damage, and display on a sealed surface only.
- Light: Indoors, place in a bright area. Outdoors, the succulents prefer partial sun. In warm climates, give the plants morning sun and afternoon shade. In cooler climates, give the plants morning shade and afternoon sun.
- Water: Thoroughly water, then let dry. Succulents need to dry out completely between each watering. Plants will start to pucker when they need water. Occasionally mist plants to help keep them clean.
- Fertilizing: Succulents require very little fertilizer. Fertilize once in early spring and again in late summer using a basic liquid houseplant food added to the watering schedule.
- Pruning: To maintain shape or repair damaged plants, pinch or cut the plants for the desired effect. Plants or cuttings that have been removed should be left in a cool area for a few days so that the cut ends can callous over. Cuttings can then be planted in a well-draining pot with succulent or cactus potting soil. Hanging succulents can be switched to hang from opposite ends to keep the plants growing evenly.

Information retrieval (IR) is the area of study concerned with searching for documents, for information within documents, and for metadata about documents, as well as that of searching structured storage, relational databases, and the World Wide Web. There is overlap in the usage of the terms data retrieval, document retrieval, information retrieval, and text retrieval, but each also has its own body of literature, theory, praxis, and technologies. IR is interdisciplinary, based on computer science, mathematics, library science, information science, information architecture, cognitive psychology, linguistics, and statistics. Automated information retrieval systems are used to reduce what has been called "information overload". Many universities and public libraries use IR systems to provide access to books, journals and other documents. Web search engines are the most visible IR applications.

Sturdy Rack Written By Shuttledancedj, Tennessee on Monday, May 04, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This rack is nice and sturdy, super quick to assemble and its able to support heavy components, plus the open sides makes it easy to run wires. Pros: Gorgeous piece of furniture Cons: None
Good product for the price Written By S. Babbitt, Sacramento CA on Sunday, March 22, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The stand is sturdy, basic, pretty much exactly what I thought it would be. The product would have received 5 stars but a couple (2of 6) of the support bars had the screw loose so a solid fit was not able to be made by those two bars. That said there were enough other support bars that I left the two and feel confident it will support all my equipment safely. The assembly was easy took me about 30 minutes from box to completion. I am quite satisfied with the product. The price point was very reasonable and design clean and simple. I would recommend this product and suggest that Sanus check the screws that are installed in the cross support bars before sending them out..or provide additional super glue in the packaging. Overall good product. Pros: Easy assembly Price Clean simple lines Sturdy for my 40 lb receiver, 35lb center channel speaker and all satellite/DVD boxes etc Cons: Some less than perfect construction on the support bars
Very nice Written By Anonymous, Texas on Monday, February 23, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Perfect for my need. Very good looking. Sturdy, able to support heavy gear. Instruction pictures easy to follow. One unit arrived with severe damage to the shipping carton resulting in breakage of the rear bracket. Crutchfield immediately sent a replacement: no hassle. Hi Fi never looked so good. Pros: Great looking; quality parts and good value Cons: none
Sanus NFA245 Written By Anonymous, California on Sunday, November 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great stand. Very sturdy. Easy access to all sides. Only took about an hour to unpackaged and assemble. Everything needed is included. Just follow the picture instructions. Cons: No problems.
Sanus NFA245 Written By Audio Cabinet, Tampa FL on Saturday, October 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to assemble, meets all my needs for audio cabinet
Good Product; Great Customer Service Written By Kris, Wichita, Kansas on Sunday, June 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Product basically as advertised and fairly easy to assemble. Mine took 3 tries/shipment before I had one I would keep. The first 2 were destroyed by UPS. 3rd one was double boxed and arrived fine. Crutchfield customer service was great throughout the process. Pros: Good value; looks good and easy to assemble. Cons: The manufacture's carton is not appropriate for shipment
SANUS NFA 245, I put it together ...myself, yes Written By Tony, North Carolina on Thursday, February 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I thought I had ordered Mocha, somehow I later saw that what I had coming was Cherry. Now I see someone else had a similar experience. Never mind, Cherry looks pretty good. The box is very heavy but it arrived in one piece, fairly well treated. All the parts were in good shape. It looked hard to assemble but it was fairly easy and quick after all. I wished it was bit sturdier but it's not flimsy for the task at hand. It seems it will do the job. It looks good. I find the top glass needs better pads, lost one right away. Pros: It's easy to assemble, it meets my needs and it looks good. I think I will be happy with it. Cons: A few more reinforcement points would help. Need to improve the pads for the glass on top.
If I had it to do over again... Written By NoProAtThis, E. TN, USA on Monday, February 17, 2014 Bought this after seriously considering the other Sanus products, esp. the CFR2115 and CFR2127. Kicking myself for not going the extra money mile and buying an enclosed unit. Visible wires and cables detract considerably from the overall aesthetics of the unit no matter the rear hollow pillar feature for wire/cable management. Build quality is OK but not outstanding...the glass shelves simply will not fit flush in what appears to be the intended fashion, and the whole unit sort of sways a bit in spite of snugging the hardware up and putting the heavier components low in the stand. I have a fairly heavy receiver (Marantz SR7008 also bought from Crutchfield) in addition to other, much lighter components, but between the shelves not fitting properly and the sway, I just can't recommend Pros: The individual parts seem fairly well made, especially the tempered glass shelves. Cons: The unit as a whole just doesn't fit well together.
nice looking stereo equipment rack Written By dmacsimus, calif on Monday, January 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very easy assembly and looks really nice. Stereo equipment will have ample cooling for the design is a very open design. Pros: Easy assembly, looks great, quality is nice. Open design for equipment cooling effectability. Cons: Could be a tad sturdier because with heavy weighing equipment, front to back stability is an small issue. Open design which makes often dusting is a must to stay clean looking.
Good Product Written By RichW, Temple, TX on Tuesday, September 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The unit is very nice looking (mocha) and is very stable on a wood floor. Easy to put together, took less than 30 minutes once I received the hardware...as others have stated the shipping container isn't UPS friendly and the box had a tear so guess the hardware slipped out!!! Sanus was quick to send the missing hardware but it would be nice if they just used a better shipping container. Crutchfield's website is easy to use and they processing orders quickly...will continue to use them. Pros: Nice Looking, Stable on wood floor, easy to put together, instructions on Sanus webiste Cons: Shipping container needs some reinforcement
Missing parts, damaged finish, pathetic packaging Written By DaveD, Scotts Valley, CA on Saturday, April 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I needed this component rack for a new stereo system that was being installed the following day. The Sanus arrived the day before looking like it had been run over by a truck. A piece of hardwood was sticking out from the end of the box and the finished was damaged. When I opened the box, 10 critical components for its assembly were missing, and I'm not talking about screws and such hardware. When the audio company came the next day to do the install, they had to hook everything up temporarily and stack the components on top of each other. Now I have to disconnect and reconnect 6 different components on my own after paying quite a bit for the audio company's installation. Quality control at Sanus must be non-existent, it is inconceivable to me that so many big heavy parts could be missed. When I called them to get the parts replaced they acted like they could care less. Buyer beware, you may be one of the lucky ones or you could waste a lot of time and money like I did. Pros: None Cons: A complete waste of my time and money.
Electronics Cabinet - Sanus NFA245 Written By Dr. Michael M, Charlottesville, VA on Monday, March 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Handsome look, esp. in "Mocha" - well designed and engineering - high quality parts - easy to assemble - good looking AND functional. Pros: Handsome look, esp. in "Mocha" - well designed and engineering - high quality parts - easy to assemble - good looking AND functional. Cons: (Had to assemble it myself.)
Excellent audio stand and beautiful to look at Written By Tom, Raleigh NC on Thursday, August 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Sanus NFA245 audio stand is excellent in every respect. I have looked at a lot of similar audio stands, both in retail stores and on the web, and it is the best looking among them. It probably is not as sturdy as some other, but it doesn't truly have a problem with sturdiness, and anyone who experienced that problem probably just didn't do a very good job of putting it together. I was concerned about that prior to ordering it, and I went to a retail store and studied how it was put together. I concluded that although the design is not inherently as strong as other designs, that there should be no problem if assembled with care, and this proved to be true. The only real problem I experienced was with the packaging, and this occurred because the packaging was not intended to serve as outer carton material for shipping individual units. The packaging was intended to protect the product when they are stacked on pallets and wrapped in shrink wrap. Once the manufacturer carton is open, it is apparent that a lot of effort went into just the packaging. There are numerous pieces of structural cardboard, all cut very precisely and fitting together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. And the carton had very many large staples. But the outer carton was made of soft, paper-like cardboard, because it just was not intended to stand up to the kind of abuse that something of this sort gets treated to if shipped individually and using the likes of UPS. So I recommend that when you place t Pros: Beautiful, functional Cons: Somewhat less sturdy than competing products, but certainly as sturdy as there is any need for it to be
Great product Written By Kg, Plainfield, il on Friday, May 18, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Solid and stylish product. Can not beat it for price. Pros: Sturdy, easy to assemble, stylish look Cons: Box arrived like it went thru aware. Luckily stand was not damaged.
Simple, Elegant AV Rack Written By PaulO, Amherst, MA on Monday, April 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Simple, elegant, and easy to assemble, this reasonably priced AV rack allows hidden cable routing and excellent ventilation to keep your components cool. Very pleased with this product, but it came in a box that looked like it had been through the trenches of WW I and missing hardware. Crutchfield overnight shipped a replacement unit (which also arrived torn and beaten up) to replace the missing hardware, but I needed to repack the replacement after fishing out the hardware and had to bring the 75 lb box to a UPS shipping store and pay $7 for the return shipping. Pros: Great, inexpensive and elegant AV rack. Cons: Shipped in substandard packaging and arrived with missing parts.
Sanus Stand rates a full 5 Stars! Written By JoseD, Midway City, CA on Thursday, March 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First of all, I ordered the Black Sanus Stand online. The Crutchfield web application changed my color selection for some reason from Black to either Mocha or Cherry. I really cannot remember. I thought that I had accidentally selected the wrong color, so I re-did my shopping cart. I had to call Crutchfield to take care of the color selection problem. I had the order processed with the correct color within 3 minutes. Then, I received my stand within a week. CAUTION: There are a total of 9 bars that go from the front of the stand to the back, AND only three are used (one) for each of the three middle shelves. I screwed in the wrong bars (they all look the same at first) into two of the middle shelves and the screws went through the front of the stand! I called Sanus (English speaking tech support & based in the USA) and the person there decided to send me out a new front of the stand for FREE!!! I had the new face of the stand within one week. The assembly of this stand is EASY once you get the right bars in the correct places! Only one tool is necessary and is included in the package. The stand, itself, is very sturdy (made of real wood - not particle board), the shelves weigh a lot and are high quality. Assembly shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes. I have a 40lbs. receiver on a middle shelf and it seems to take the weight without problems. After I placed the smoked glass shelves in place, it weighs about 50lbs! Use two people to carry the stand! Pros: Easy to assemble with one tool (included). Great support from Sanus. Easy ordering online - Call to Crutchfield took care of the wrong color problem within 3 minutes. Very sturdy. Glass shelves are very high quality. Made of real wood. Overall, worth the $300. I found it for $20 less from another online retailer, but I knew that Crutchfield support is great, so why mess with an unknown online retailer? Overall, satisfied with purchase. Cons: Weighs 70lbs in the box! Use two people to carry it! Shelves are not adjustable - No casters - Assembly is easy but not foolproof! Problem with ordering online from Crutchfield. Not much else is a con. I am satified with my purchase.
Sanus Rack Written By Rick A., Springfield, Mo. on Sunday, January 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice Looking and very sturdy rack.I am overall very pleased with this rack.I wish it was adjustable. I have thought about getting a bigger reciever and do not know it it will work with reciever I am looking at. Pros: Great Looking and very sturdy Cons: Not adjustable
NICE STEREO RACK Written By GARY, PUEBLO WEST, COLORADO on Thursday, November 03, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) WENT OLD SCHOOL. TURNTABLE WITH VINYL.VINTAGE STEREO RECEIVER. THE RACK WORKED PERFECT FOR WHAT I WAS DOING. Pros: EASY TO SET ASSEMBLE.THE RACK LOOKS GREAT Cons: N/A
High Quality Sanus Product Written By Al A, Orland Park, IL on Wednesday, June 15, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This stand is sturdy! Each shelf can hold nearly twice of what others in the same price category can hold. Great value, easy to assemble and looks great. The packaging is thick. Good thing, UPS is brutal with packaging.
Another great Sanus product Written By Brian, Boston, MA on Saturday, April 23, 2011 I had purchased some Sanus speaker stands a few years ago so when I needed a component rack I checked them out first. Quality is excellent, esp. compared to cheaper stands that look good in photos but are flimsy in real life. Very easy to put together with Ikea-like instructions. The cable routing features are excellent. Best part is my wife likes the way it looks in the living room! Very pleased with my purchase and would recommend to anyone else in the market for a high quality rack to hold your components.
5tier Written By Dave, Green River on Friday, March 04, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Top quality easy to put together MOM loves this piece for her music room. Very stable,wire routing shroud and access hole well planed! We looked in the local area found nothing of this quality. THANKS
Good unit Written By dan, Charlotte, NC on Sunday, February 01, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a good unit for holding your AV equipment. The flexible plastic that is supposed to bend around and hide the cables is way too narrow to do it. It needs to be at least twice as wide to be able to go around the cables.
Excellent and good value!! Written By Frank, New Haven, CT on Friday, January 30, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Sanus natural audio rack has met my expectations. It was well packaged and the instructions were very easy to follow. The quality is excellent with real wood pieces and sturdy metal. The shelving is deep and tall enough to hold my McIntosh amplifier. The only minor quibble is the finish is darker than I thought it would be but it still looks good in the living room

I bought this for my husband for our 3 yr anniversary in October. He always told me that he wanted a tungsten carbide ring. When I found this one I couldn't believe the price. I read the reviews and decided it was the right road to take. I was actually considering the carbon fiber inlay rings but I noticed that those rings have become incredibly popular over the past year. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and I would recommend this ring to other wives searching for that special ring for their hubbys. It does run very big, I purchased a 10.5 and we had to send it back for a 9.5 which was a tiny bit loose but he decided it was good. Its very heavy too. I also read that someone said their ring came in a beautiful box.....I am thinking maybe they chose the gift wrapping option?? because I expected a beautiful box but when it arrived it was in a dinky cheap white box with a pc of Styrofoam holding it somewhat in place...id say, Go for the gift wrapping option. I actually placed the ring in his original wedding ring box (from Zales) and wrapped it. Enjoy!
I was on the prowl for a promise ring for my boyfriend and I found it here, he's a tanker for the USMC so I knew I need something tough and reliable, I snuck the box into his cammies as I said good bye to him as he.went off for two months of training, after a week I get a phone call & he's doing laundry & blabbin away & finds the box, I could feel his smile thru the phone, & his military buddies gather around to see this beautiful ring with a note wrapped in the ring saying "i love you today, tomorrow, forever. Wherever you go I will follow this is my promise to you" he said it was a perfect ring for him considering his job & wears it around his neck along with his dogtags. I LOVE YOU OVERSTOCK for giving me that special moment with him. Can't imagine a better quality ring for a better price.
i bought this ring for my husband and we were so excited when we got it. Both of us thought it was an amazing looking ring. WE did end up having to order a different size. it definitely runs a half size to big. Its a very unique ring and he always had people complimenting him on it . but after a few months the black began to wear off. he has now had it six months and its almost completely silver. im tempted to order another one and keep it for when he dresses up or we r going out. but i feel its a bit of a waist. so like i said i LOVE the way it looks but am very DISAPPOINTED in the way it has held up in such a short time.
I purchased this ring for my fiance who stated if he had to buy me a ring, I had to buy him one. He picked it out as a "fun" ring before he'll wear the more traditional wedding band. I do recommend going half a size smaller than normal, which apparently is common with "comfort fit." He is normally a 9.5 but we ordered a 9 and it is perfect. It's somewhat heavy, but he likes the weight and says it doesn't pinch or get in his way. He really likes it and makes a point to show it off to friends and family. It is very shiny and smooth and looks just like the picture. Absolutely no complaints. Definitely recommended.
We were looking for a unique ring and we found it in this one. It is a heavy ring that may take some time to getting comfortable with it. It is exactly as its shown in the picture and looks amazing on him. It was shipped fast and very affordable! I would highly recommend this ring if you're looking for something sturdy and unique. I love it, more importantly HE loves it! This was my first purchase using overstock and it will not be my last. VERY happy customer!!! Thank You Overstock!!!
Love it and so does everyone else. I never figured I'd have so many "guys" commenting on it. Not used to that. 😄
It's a ring strong and durable but cheap at the same time all the black has came off my ring. Like my dad always said u get what u pay for. But it is strong and cheap
This ring is beautiful! My husband loves it and wears it everyday and still looks brand new after a year!
I purchased this ring for my husband April 2013. He absolutely loved this ring. Sadly he lost it while we were on vacation this last July. I was hoping this ring would come back in stock as he adores it. Runs about 1/2 size large. Highly recommend this product. My husband is a pipefitter and has to have a ring that holds up. The ring never had a scratch on it and looked brand new.
My wife and I bought this for my wedding ring. We were a little worried with it being cheap in price for such a nice looking ring. It is now just over 2 years and I still wear this ring. Not a scratch or dent and it still looks brand new. We are both very impressed with this ring. I work with my hands a lot for my job and I never take this ring off. We highly recommend this ring.

1 night
Arrival Paris
7 nights
Paris has been a center of European trade and culture since the 10th century. Combining expert guidance with inspired independent adventures, this quest introduces the Paris of Parisians. Begin in Ile de la Cite to trace the history of Paris from its early days as an island in the Seine. Explore Notre Dame and experience the vibrant Latin Quarter as the nearby Sorbonne students do. This intellectual, bohemian neighborhood bustles with cafťs and secondhand bookstalls. Explore the Luxembourg Gardens or investigate medieval history at the Musee de Cluny. Experience the splendid Louvre, enjoy a presentation on Picasso and the life of the Parisian artist and take part in excursions to the Carnavalet Museum, Musee díOrsay and Orangerie Museum. Assemble a lunch of fresh foods at the Parisian open-air market and perhaps venture to the Invalides, Eiffel Tower or the nearby Musee Rodin.
The epicurious and the curious find much to admire in Western Europeís largest nation, whose agricultural riches and terrain of beaches, mountains and fertile fields have drawn residents for thousands of years. The northern region hosts the nationís Parisian capital, as well as unique Breton culture, while the sun-drenched Mediterranean coast sports the chic beach-goers and the terraced vineyards of the interior.
Small Parisian hotel in the heart of the historic Faubourg Saint-Antoine, near the Bastille and Marais districts. See date notes for some variation.

Feb 14, 2012Very good movie. The story was well done. It was not over the top. Crazy ghost, haunted house, small town, and a creepy felling through the movie. Some people like blood and gore in there movies. If you like blood and gore this is not the movie to see. just go home and pop in a low budget horror film and in joy.
Feb 4, 2012
Feb 6, 2012
Mar 9, 2012this film is a outstanding horror with scenes that make you jump out of your seat. i am impressed with Daniel Radcliffe i didn't think he would get out of harry potter but he did. people are saying that the special effects were bad, THEY ARE STUPID, the special effects were great. finally if i could pick any horror film to see again i would see this one.
Feb 21, 2012"The Woman in Black" makes you jump and scream. A new way to scare much more different than the movies we usually watch nowadays, much better too.
Its a really good movie and the actors and actresses do their best, they all make you feel as if you were in the movie, and so you get scared. -
Mar 10, 2012This is horror! When you look it alone in the night.. lights are off and you're tired! After movie you can smell your own fear! .............................................................................
Feb 7, 2012â
Feb 15, 2012This movie is a great scary film with lots of 'boo' moments and leaves you pale and shaky. There is an emotional part towards the end. Very Good film that I would watch again.
Mar 2, 2012Yeah, finally a new horror classic, The Woman in Black is great (the show, and the book are better), but this adaptation is really incredible, have much interesting elements, and the performance of Radcliffe, is great, I forget that he is Harry Potter in the films. The Woman in Black is a great interesting film.
Feb 21, 2012
Feb 25, 2012it will creep you out. does it play its part as a horror movie? it certainly does. it's not gory, but the atmospheres that are created in the movie along with some genuine surprises along the way will have you cringing in fear. i thoroughly enjoyed it! Radcliffe's performance was absolutely brilliant.
Mar 4, 2012Great horror movie! Was jumping about every 5 seconds! Would definately recommend it! Great acting and a really good plot. It gave me goosebumps, and I don't generally get goosebumps. Has good twists and frights and just when you think you know what will happen next, it changes. Great film.
Mar 20, 2012A breathtaking movie and quite intriguing for the way it is carried and operated by Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe). We might say that eventually, in the twenty-first century, the horror is not a cliché.
Mar 23, 2012I suppose I am one of the few who don't think Daniel Radcliffe is a bad actor because film great, it gave all the necessary chills and scares but still giving us an understanding of why it is all happening.
For a PG it was pretty scary and the ending was satisfying as well as creepy.
It is a film you should see but don't expect any magic. -
Feb 3, 2012I once heard that Daniel Radcliffe, or more widely known as "Harry Potter" , never had to work again due to the series Harry Potter. From the acting he performed in this movie and the overall performance, that rumor should have stayed true.
Feb 27, 2012I liked this movie. I didnt find it scary but more jumpy in two or three parts. Acted really well although Dan Radcliffe at the beginning of the movie was a bit poor he ends up stepping it up.
Mar 25, 2012This was a beautifully crafted, suspense-filled thriller. On the edge of my seat, holding my breath, I was completely engrossed in this film. Daniel Radcliffe was superb, as was the rest of the cast. A great story with great scare - without unnecessary blood and gore. Definitely see it.
Oct 4, 2012
Oct 22, 2012
Apr 8, 2012This movie cheats - the ending is totally illogical and doesn't fit the rest of the story - there is nothing to lead to it - not bad till then, but you'll be asking yourself "What happened?" Totally unsatisfying.
Jan 31, 2013
Jan 17, 2013
Aug 23, 2014" I believe the most rational mind can play tricks in the dark." - Daily
A great horror movie.A mystery house in a strange world. I jumped at every scene. -
Feb 25, 2014I like this movie most horror movies have an unnecessary amount of swearing but not this one. I showed a trailer to my friend and he said it look to scary for a PG-13 movie
Even now we know he'll thrive post-Hogwarts, Radcliffe impresses as Arthur Kipps, the solicitor, widower and father with an invested interest in the afterlife.
Boring and sedentary, not to mention only occasionally coherent, this creaking-door mystery is not much of a vehicle to display young Mr. Radcliffe's range and charm.
Check behind the doors. Switch on all the lights. You won't be sleeping soundly for a while.
