2003 Ford Escape XLS Value Fwd 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
Over all, I have enjoyed leasing this vehicle for the past year. It has a V6, so there is good pick up. It's large enough to haul stuff, the back seat folds down flat. I carried four 6 foot tables and 10 folding chairs in it! Yet, I can still easily parellel park it! I can cart my Golden Retriever in comfort.
I really like the interior size, it's perfect. I also like the dual outlets for phone and cigarette lighter.
The stereo for sure, it's VERY basic. Also, it has no running lights which I like in rain/fog. Lighted visor for the driver would be nice too.

I was so impressed by this car. It never lets you down.
2003 Ford Escape Limited 4WD 4dr SUV (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
We have driven this car approximately 3000 miles, with no problems. It is a pleasure to drive in the snow and ice, and has a lot of nice features. However, at 10,000 miles the transmission went out. Three different Ford service departments have told me that the problem is that a transmission cooler is installed on the Escapes that causes the fluid to "gel" in cold weather, and "Ford is working on the problem". Since then I have talked to two other owners who have experienced the same problem.I would not recommend buying this car until they fix this problem.
Leather, heated seats, backup sensors, CD player, snow and ice driveability.
Fix the transmission/oil cooler problem.

I conducted a lot of research before committing to purchase the Escape. I drove all the comparable vehicles (Liberty, Saturn, Santa Fe, etc.) and the Ford had the best handling response, most fun to drive and met all my needs - V6, cargo space, appearance, mileage, 4WD, and so on. If anyone is interested in the compact SUVs, I would highly recommend the Ford Escape be considered. After test driving, I think you'll find yourself wanting to make a purchase.
Space, lots of power, smooth ride, 6 CD changer.
Gear shift obstructs my reach to the radio controls.

Pros - Easy to handle, good gas milage, and good stereo system. Cons - Noisy when driving, rides rough, accelerator sticks, cheap interior, doors don't shut all the way unless you practically slam them.
The way it handles.
Better suspension and more comfortable interior.
2003 Ford Escape Limited 4WD 4dr SUV (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
I looked around quite a bit and drove several of the smaller SUV's, and narrowed it down to the Jeep Liberty and Escape. For interior room and exterior looks, the Escape won hands- down. I love this SUV and would do it all over again. Very little to complain about except it seems to drain the gas tank all too often. V6 engine is more than adequate and stereo is great too!
For the money, the standard features are an excellent buy. Absolute favorite option is the moonroof, followed closely by 6-disc CD changer and excellent stereo sound.
Gas mileage is poor for a small SUV. I'm lucky to get 18 mpg, more often it's 16-17. Car is so fun to drive that refueling is constant. Also - powered passenger seat, like driver.
2003 Ford Escape XLT Popular Fwd 4dr SUV (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
I bought this vehicle brand new, right off the lot at a dealership 50 miles from home. Within two days there was a problem--the vehicle had a hole in the radiator right off the lot! With less than 10,000 miles a front wheel bearing went out. And now the thing kills sometimes if your foot is off the gas. I have to drive it with my right foot on the gas and my left on the brake when it is acting this way because every time you take your foot off the gas--even if moving in traffic--it will kill the engine. I had similar problems with a Ford in the past and now I think I won't ever own another one.

I bought my Escape because it was the first SUV I drove that was fun to drive. But, there's little things I would change. The V6 isn't as powerful as I would have hoped. My 1993 GMC Jimmy had MUCH more power in it's engine. The fuel economy doesn't seem to be as good in practice as on paper, and I'm anxiously waiting the Hybrid. Interior design could use a spruce up, too.
It's still fun to drive. The size of the vehicle fits my lifestyle, and I don't feel like I'm driving an SUV or a truck when I'm behind the wheel. INCREDIBLE amount of room when the seats go down, too.
The interior should be more comfortable. The armrests on the drivers side door are made of hard plastic, and very uncomfortable. Aside from the dash, the inside is colorless. Some metallic highlights, for example, would go a long way toward improving it.

The accelerator is too hard to push, not smooth, always jerky. Dealership says they have this complaint all the time.
Make acceleration smoother...

This is a great vehicle that was built by Ford. As my dad worked for Ford for 38 years I will always drive a Ford. Before we bought the Escape I thought that it would be to small but it has enough room for us. The small suv has a lot of hp rated at 201 which is more than enough for an suv. This vehicle is only about two years old and should be a great seller for many years to come. And also farwell to the great selling Taurus.
My color interior horsepower tinted windows 6 cd player power sunroof white face gauges 60/40 split seats
At the time I can not think of any improvements.

Sellout Crowd Turns out in AAA Charlotte for Native Son Carlos Rodon
Rodon walked slowly off the mound after compiling these first- inning numbers: 13 pitches, two strikeouts, no hits and one warm ovation from the sellout crowd.
Rodon, 21, was a star at Holly Springs high outside Raleigh. He led the school to the N.C. 4A baseball championship.
He pitched three seasons at N.C. State, helping the Wolfpack to the College World Series.
The Chicago White Sox selected him with the third pick in the 2014 Major League Baseball draft. After a quick stop in Arizona, and 9 2/3 innings with the Class A Winston-Salem Dash, Rodon drove to Charlotte on Monday and started for the Knights on Tuesday.
In minor league baseball, even in Class AAA, fans go to the ballpark for the sport and the experience. They watch or half-watch a game that, on a late summer night, enables them to sit outside with friends and family.
Tuesday was different. Red N.C. State shirts, caps and jerseys were common. In the fifth-inning, I made a lap around the concourse and encountered 14 fans – on the concourse – wearing Wolfpack garb.
N.C. State associate basketball coach Bobby Lutz had hoped to join them. But he had to stay in Raleigh for a meeting.
Rodon "is the type of player I'd love to coach," Lutz says Tuesday night. "My favorite story is when he told coach Elliott (baseball coach Elliott Avent) 'To get off my mound' when he wanted to bring in a relief pitcher."

The Sox have made travel for Rodon easy this summer, what with three farm teams in North Carolina.2. madvillain Posted: August 20, 2014 at 04:20 PM (#4775637)
If you listen to the Chicago beat writers it's inevitable that he's up in September. That seems fairly ambitious and dumb, even for an ORG that has an excellent reputation with SP development. But, Some of the gifs from last night show you the kind of talent he has and he probably would be pretty good out of the pen right now. His stuff is very similar to Sale's. They both sit around 93-96 on the fastball, have a wipeout slider and Rodon is rapidly improving his changeup, much like Sale has.3. JJ1986 Posted: August 20, 2014 at 04:22 PM (#4775639)
It's exciting to see how the Sox will handle him, personally I'd prefer not to start his arb clock until next June, but the Sox don't seem of the same mind as of now, we'll see.
Also, his development so far kinda shows how silly some of the talk wrt to his "slipping stock" was pre-draft. He had a bit of a dead arm and some tough luck, the talent was always still there that had him consenus #1 entering 2014.
Isn't Rodon from Miami?4. madvillain Posted: August 20, 2014 at 04:30 PM (#4775645)
Isn't Rodon from Miami?
Yep but he grew up in NC and turned down a bit of money to attend college at NC State. Charlotte doesn't sell out very often and according to many there was a lot of Wolf Pack red in the crowd last night.
Charlotte doesn't sell out very often
Traditionally this is true, but the Knights have a new ballpark this year. I've only been there once, but its the nicest minor league park I've been to. They've sold out almost every game this year, and lead the International League in attendance at over 9,600 a game.

Oh cool. I noticed that in the shots from the game the park looked really nice guess I didn't put two and two together and figure maybe it was new.
In minor league baseball, even in Class AAA, fans go to the ballpark for the sport and the experience. They watch or half-watch a game that, on a late summer night, enables them to sit outside with friends and family.
Which is a perfectly good reason to go to a minor league game...

President Barack Obama is postponing his trip to Asia until June so he can stay in Washington for a possible Sunday vote on his health care overhaul plan.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says Obama has called the leaders of Indonesia and Australia to express his regret that he will not be able to visit their nations. Obama had already pushed the trip back once, delaying his orginally scheduled March 18 departure until Sunday so he could help Democrats on Capitol Hill rally last-minute votes for the plan.
House Democrats say they are on track to vote Sunday on a $940 billion health care bill that will expand coverage to millions.

Hi: 12° Lo:4°
By Carl Jackson Thursday 29 November 2012 Updated: 02/12 01:18
A COUPLE were threatened in their own home on Tuesday (November 27) by three men who were burgling the property in what police described as a 'nasty' incident.
The burglars, all with covered faces, invaded the bedroom where the victims, in their 30s, were watching TV, and forced them to hand over a large amount of cash.
Police believe the men crossed nearby fields to get to the house in Forest Lane, Hanbury, where they got in through the back of the house.
They made there escape towards Broad Acre Fishery where it is suspected they drove off in a waiting vehicle.
Det Sgt Pete Sherwood said: "This was a nasty and brazen attack on someone's home and we have launched an investigation into who is responsible."
"Considering how wet it has been of late and that these men approached and left the house over fields, it is very likely they would have been covered in mud."
He appealed for any witnesses or anyone with any information, particularly people seeing suspicious activity or vehicles in Hanbury between 5pm and 7pm on Tuesday to contact him on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

SeaWorld in need of some "fine tuning," theme park industry expert says
- W. Scott Bailey
- Reporter/Project Coordinator- San Antonio Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | Facebook
Dennis Speigel, president of International Theme Park Services Inc., a global consulting firm, is not the least bit surprised that Blackstone is looking to sell off more of its shares and give up its majority control of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment Inc., which owns a number of parks, including SeaWorld San Antonio.
"These guys understand the business," Speigel tells me. "They know when to move. From a venture capital standpoint in our industry, these guys know the business better than anyone. They've always made smart moves. They always get in and out at the right time."
This hasn't been the best year for SeaWorld. The company was the center of attention in "Blackfish," a controversial documentary released this fall which looks back at the tragic death of SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau, who was fatally injured by a killer whale at the company's Orlando marine life park in 2010.
In August, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries denied the Georgia Aquarium's request for a permit to import 18 beluga whales from Russia for public display in the U.S. NOAA Fisheries officials said the aquarium had planned to transport 11 of the whales to SeaWorld parks under breeding loan agreements.
Speigel doe not believe SeaWorld suffered a major blow from the "Blackfish" press, but he says business has not been as brisk this year as company officials had hoped. SeaWorld noted in its third quarter earnings report that attendance through the first nine months of the year had declined by 1 million visitors, or 4.7 percent, compared to the same period in 2013.
"Their numbers were short of what they were anticipating this year when you compare them with the other (theme park) groups," says Speigel about SeaWorld. "That has created some concern in the financial community."
Blackstone has indicated that it could sell as many as 15 million more shares in SeaWorld, reducing its stake in the company from 63 percent to less than 44 percent, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
"It's still an iconic property with tremendous potential," adds Speigel about SeaWorld. "They have the lock on the marine mammal market. But it seems like some fine tuning is in order."

On Kansas attorney general files appeal of school funding ruling
msezdsit 2 years, 1 month ago
cool our big a-- tough guy attorney general has declared war on our children. impressive. bullying is at an all time low in kansas. these thugs think they are setting an example for the country but they operate in their own little contaminated petry dish that the country is saying, we got a flu shot but is there anything we can take for this?
fiddleback 2 years, 1 month ago
Yes, but then Derek's always been a pro at acting like a Schmidt. Also, this appeal is not only foretold but something of a formality; I'm sure they anticipate the Supreme Court ruling against them like in 2005. So their real hope for victory is that shameless constitutional amendment to castrate the courts' authority to order public schools closed as they did in 2005.

As a tax payer I can say our schools are overfunded today. 497 wastes money like the money tree will never stop blooming. Remember the projector scandal ? No? Because it was quashed to keep the public from hearing. That is really just the tip. Rainey day fund of 55 million. How could it be that 497 does not have enough money.

How much money is the the state senate and house funneling off to fill our politicians pockets?
KSManimal 2 years, 1 month ago
Let me see if I understand this. 1) Legislature refuses its constitutional obligation to fund public schools; 2) legislature gets sued and loses; 3) legislature appeals to Supreme Court and loses; 4) supreme court orders legislature to meet its constitutional obligation; 5) legislature ignores Supreme Court and cuts education funding even further; 6) legislature gets sued again, and loses; 7) court orders legislature to DO WHAT THE SUPREME COURT TOLD THEM TO DO LAST TIME THEY APPEALED TO THE SUPREME COURT; 8) legislature appeals to Supreme Court AGAIN...."wahhhh, waaaahhh, tell these judges they can't tell us we have to do what YOU ordered us to do. Wwaaahhh, waaaah."
Gee, I wonder how this will turn out?
fiddleback 2 years, 1 month ago
While your chronology drives home the legislature's infuriating obstinance, between steps 4 and 5, you elide over the Supreme Court threatening to close all public schools in July of 2005, and the state finally raising funding by about 600 million in the year following.
I bring that up because the Supreme Court's threat to close schools is obviously the checkmate that the legislature needs to avoid. They filed this appeal as a formality and probably don't expect a ruling more favorable than in 2005; their real strategy is amending the constitution and destroying the court's authority.

What rainy day fund of $55 million? Where is the money? The details were absent and left a false impression.
Want to see some serious reserve fund money check out city hall.
Republicans exhibit some unusual business thinking. They cut funding to an operation year after year after year then come telling US that the system isn't working so well....in their eyes.
Use that same approach in running a business sooner or later the business will not be doing well and may well be out of business. What republicans seem to lack is business savvy.

I don't think the Chief Justice even got lunch out of the deal this time. Of course, his law firm will get at least at least $80 million, so there's that. .

Warrant issued for feminist author
Thursday 28 July 1994
The controversy over Ms Nasrin's criticisms of conservative, male-dominated Islamic society has proved a rallying-point for both sides in a wider political struggle. Trouble continued yesterday in Chittagong, the country's second city, where six people were killed on Tuesday in clashes between students and militants from Jamaat Islami, which has led the campaign against her. The same day a magistrate in northern Bangladesh ordered Ms Nasrin's arrest in a case filed by a local Muslim leader, claiming that a book of essays she published in 1992 was anti-Islamic.
A doctor turned writer, Ms Nasrin first became the target of fundamentalists with the publication of her novel, Lajja (Shame) last year. They were angered by her descriptions of the Muslim backlash against Bangladesh's Hindu minority in the wake of the destruction of the mosque at Ayodhya, including the rape of a Hindu woman. Demonstrators proclaimed that she should be killed, leading her to be seen outside the Muslim world as the female Salman Rushdie.
If Ms Nasrin enjoyed her notoriety, however, the affair became more serious after an Indian newspaper quoted her earlier this year as saying the Koran should be revised. She said she had been misquoted, and that she had been calling for the reform of Islamic sharia law, but the government came under pressure from outraged Muslim leaders. On 4 June, the day a Dhaka court issued an arrest warrant, she went into hiding.
The issue has stirred up divisions going back to Bangladesh's war of independence from Pakistan in 1971, when Jamaat Islami sided with the Pakistanis against Bengali nationalists. The movement has had to keep a low profile ever since, but is now using the Nasrin controversy to resume a political role. The Chittagong violence began when the Jamaat Islami leader, Golam Azam, who is accused of war crimes, made his first speech in the city for more than 20 years. Further demonstrations are due today.
Middle-class liberals fear that demands by fundamentalist groups for a blasphemy law are part of a campaign for a repressive Islamic state, which some claim would seek to reunite with Pakistan. Amnesty International yesterday criticised Pakistan for misusing blasphemy laws to persecute religious minorities. Most victims were members of the Ahmadiyya sect, but Christians had also suffered.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The scandal involving former CIA Director David Petraeus widened on Tuesday as U.S. defense officials said they were looking into "flirtatious" e-mails between General John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, and a woman at the center of the affair.
Defense Department officials said they were sifting through 30,000 pages of email and other communications between Allen and Jill Kelley, a Florida socialite whose complaints about harassing messages led to the discovery of Petraeus' affair with his biographer.
The revelation threatens to fell another of the U.S. military's biggest names after Petraeus' surprise resignation last week. It also complicates President Barack Obama's efforts to wind down the war in Afghanistan and reorganize his national security team following his re-election.
A senior defense official told Reuters the emails between Allen and Kelley were seen as potentially inappropriate because they were "flirtatious" in nature, not because they dealt with sensitive information. Allen has denied that the two had a sexual relationship, officials said on condition of anonymity.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Allen, a four-star Marine Corps general, would stay in his job for the time being, and the White House said Obama still had faith in Allen's ability to command U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
But asked how Obama saw the unfolding scandal at a time when his priorities include impending "fiscal cliff," Press Secretary Jay Carney said: "I certainly wouldn't call it welcome."
Obama suspended plans to transfer Allen to Europe, where he was to be the top commander of U.S. and allied forces in the region.
Both Allen and the official due to replace him in Afghanistan, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate before they can take their new posts in February.
Top lawmakers on the Senate Armed Services Committee said they would go ahead with a confirmation hearing for Dunford on Thursday. Allen's appearance was canceled.
Allen had just submitted recommendations on what role the United States should play in Afghanistan after most American combat troops withdraw by the end of 2014.
The investigations raised questions about how top U.S. officials in sensitive national security posts allowed themselves to become so personally involved with the women.
Kelley, 37, is a fixture in military circles in Tampa, Florida, where she was a volunteer social liaison at MacDill Air Force Base, home to the U.S. Central Command. She and her husband, surgeon Scott Kelley, became friends with Petraeus when he was stationed there from 2008 to 2010.
Her complaints about harassing emails from the woman with whom Petraeus had an affair, Paula Broadwell, prompted an FBI investigation that ultimately disclosed Petraeus' involvement with Broadwell.
People close to Petraeus say he had no romantic relationship with Kelley, but Broadwell may have seen her as a rival.
Both Petraeus and Allen had recently intervened in a bitter custody battle on behalf of Kelley's twin sister. The men wrote letters in September to the District of Columbia Superior Court in support of the twin sister, Natalie Khawam, as she sought more visitation rights with her son, court papers showed.
Officials suggested they were concerned by the volume of communications between Allen and Kelley over the past two years, rather than the possibility that the two shared classified material or engaged in an extramarital affair.
"We are concerned about inappropriate communications. We are not going to speculate as to what is contained in these documents," one official said.
Details on content of the emails were not revealed.
The FBI referred the case to the Pentagon on Sunday and Panetta directed the Defense Department's Inspector General to handle the investigation. Panetta also informed lawmakers who oversee military affairs.
FBI agents searched the Charlotte, North Carolina, house of Broadwell late Monday in a sign that the case involving Petraeus was not fully closed.
Agents entered the house carrying boxes at around 9 p.m. (0200 GMT Tuesday) and emerged four hours later, carrying away what appeared to be two computers and about 10 boxes.
Broadwell's family was not at home at the time.
U.S. officials had said in recent days that their investigation was largely complete and that prosecutors had determined it was unlikely they would bring charges in that case, which started when Kelley contacted an FBI agent in Tampa about harassing emails from an anonymous source.
That FBI agent, who has not been identified, came under scrutiny himself after it was discovered he had sent shirtless photographs of himself to Kelley "long before" this investigation, a law enforcement official told Reuters.
The FBI agent, who alerted an FBI cyber squad to the Broadwell case, apparently became frustrated at the pace of the investigation and complained to a member of Congress about it, the official said.
The emails between the two women were of a "childish", jealous nature and showed some one-upmanship of trying to come across as being more important to Petraeus, the official said.
Lawmakers and others have questioned whether Broadwell, who co-wrote a biography of the decorated former general, obtained classified information from him or another source.
Panetta had earlier said Petraeus did the right thing by stepping down, given the security concerns, but he was saddened by the end of the retired general's distinguished career.

Street Fighter X Tekken
First, we sat down with Capcom's resident fighting expert Seth Killian to discuss the upcoming Street Fighter X Tekken, which blends the fluid 2D elegance of Street Fighter with the rough-and-tumble brawling of Tekken. We were particularly curious to learn about Gems, which work as customizable loadouts for your fighters, and how inFAMOUS 2's Cole McGrath will stack up in battle. Watch the video for more on this eagerly anticipated PS3 and PS Vita fighter.
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
SID: With Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, Capcom and Slant Six seek to unite the suspense of the genre-defining Resident Evil series with contemporary squad-based military shooting and a healthy dose of online co-op for up to four players.
The narrative fills in the story gaps between the first three Resident Evil titles, so you'll explore settings and sequences from an entirely different perspective while guiding USS Delta Team "Wolfpack" on its grim mission to destroy all evidence of Umbrella's nefarious deeds – up to and including the assassination of Resident Evil 2 protagonists Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield.
As you carve through zombies, clueless security guards, and the odd Super Tyrant, you'll collect VHS tapes and Zip drives (how quaint!) to fill in the backstory and accumulate XP towards unlocking new weapons and special abilities.
JEFF: It's amazing how a change of setting can completely alter the otherwise familiar feel of a tactical third-person shooter. However, if you thought RE5 messed with the Resident Evil formula, Raccoon City throws it out completely - not a criticism, but know what you're getting into here. You'll be controlling the bad guys (Umbrella) and they're much better funded than S.T.A.R.S.
You won't be scraping by with puny 9mm bullets, but rather blowing apart anything that moves with a wealth of weapons at your disposal. The most interesting thing to me was the unusual variety of character types. I demoed "Four Eyes," a scientist with the ability to manipulate the infected.
Using the Triangle button, I switched to the control dart, fired into a crowd of zombies, then used R3 to send my now highly suggestible friend off to fight my battles for me. When it finished off the room, I repaid my minion with a face full of shotgun scatter. Sometimes, life just isn't fair.
A shame we weren't able to demo the game with full four-player co-op - I think that's where Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City will reach its full potential.
Asura's Wrath
Do you find the wrathful, rage-filled Kratos to be a bit too... mellow? Or perhaps you wonder why boss characters aren't bigger. Like... bigger than the Earth. Asura's Wrath was made with you in mind.
The four chapters we experienced were filled with incredible hyperbole; punching missiles back at a giant starship, fighting a demigod equipped with a 30,000 mile long katana... on the moon. And then there's Wyzen, the boss demigod who eventually dwarfs you by such a massive scale that you can only attack his thumb. Asura's Wrath makes even over-the-top games like God of War and Bayonetta seem restrained by comparison.
Asura's Wrath is an intriguing blend of sweet and savory tastes, not unlike hot and sour soup or kombucha. It's got bombastic beat 'em up sequences, massive boss encounters, and quick time events reminiscent of God of War, but the action is coupled with a hyperkinetic visual style inspired by anime bruisers Dragonball Z and Fist of the North Star.
The action evolves rapidly and seamlessly, and one battle may shift from an on-rails shooting sequence to a chase scene to a conversation to a crowd beatdown before it finally ends in an over-the-top boss battle. The pace is blistering, the scale is sprawling, and the villains long-winded. What's not to like? Asura's Wrath lands on PS3 this February 21st. Hey, that's one day before PS Vita!
Dragon's Dogma
The very first point on my notepad reads "the character creator is scarily in-depth." Dragon's Dogma has the most extensive character creator I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. In this open-world fantasy RPG, you can forge a hero of almost any size, shape, and color and then festoon him or her with all manner of scars, wrinkles, and physical attributes.
I appreciated how the physical size of your hero defines their combat prowess. Creating a huge, musclebound character will automatically bestow him with the ability to wield oversized swords and hammers, while a smaller character will receive bonuses in agility and speed. As for me, I'll be creating a seven foot-tall lady barbarian with a pendulous gut and embark on a fantastic quest. It's been my lifelong dream!
No, your lifelong dream was eating the world's biggest hoagie. What's interesting is that you don't just create your own character, but that you put an equal amount of effort into your NPC companion, the "Main Pawn." There's a story behind all that which has yet to come to light, and some of it is hinted at in the new trailer seen here. Consider my interest piqued.
The concept of an open-world RPG with prominent dragons immediately had me thinking of Skyrim, but after seeing Dragon's Dogma in action, I don't think the comparison is apt. In our demo, we encountered a golem, which became an optional sidequest. The stone creature was quite large, and with his super-long life bar, I was reminded more of Monster Hunter than anything.
Our character at this point was in command of three NPC pawns which filled various roles during the battle. For instance, we were able to request a healing spell with a tap on the d-pad. While the golem was engaged with our teammates, our player was able to traverse the environment, climbing up a rock formation to an arrow turret, which greatly weakened the creature.
We were also able to clamber up onto the golem itself, Shadow of the Colossus-style, to wail on a weak point and finish it off. The whole encounter lasted over 10 minutes - now I know why the game made that quest optional.

Street Fighter X Tekken is going to be awesome! Especially since they have Cole from InFamous 2, but I really want to see Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat and Marvel vs DC Universe
. But with all the characters from Tekken and Street fighter there is going to be a lot of fun match ups.
Asura's Wrath looks like an epic game, when the trailer said "to be continued" it made me want to get the game to see what happens next.
Dragon's Dogma also looks pretty cool, it's very similar to other RPG games but I won't mind buying it.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
13 Feb 2013 17:13 GMT | Sport, Cycling, Belgium, France, Oman
Slovakia's Peter Sagan of the Cannondale team won a second consecutive stage on the Tour of Oman on Wednesday to strengthen his grip on the overall race leader's red jersey.Sagan emerged victorious on the 190km third stage from Nakhal Fort to Wadi Dayqah Dam in the Hajar mountains.In the same spot where he claimed his first win for Cannondale a year ago, Sagan beat Belgium's Greg Van Avermaet of BMC and France's Tony Gallopin of RadioShack to take victory on the line by one second with Alberto Contador a close fourth.Sagan, who won three stages on last year's Tour de France, sits 16 seconds ahead of Gallopin in the overall standings but knows he faces a tough hilly fourth stage where Italian Vincenzo Nibali triumphed last year.
"Tomorrow (Thursday), the victory will be for someone else, not for me"
Peter Sagan
"Tomorrow (Thursday), the victory will be for someone else, not for me," he said after receiving the leaders red jersey as well as the green for points and white for best young rider. A strong field in Oman is headed by last year's Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins, and also features his Sky team-mate Chris Froome, as well as the likes of Tom Boonen, Cadel Evans, Fabian Cancellara and Contador.Saxo rider Contador is expected to battle with Nibali amongst others for stage four honours and the race remains wide open with Britain's Froome and Australian Evans also still in with a chance. However Wiggins' appears out of the running now after losing 1min 37sec on stage three while last year's winner, Spaniard Joaquim Rodriguez also lost 59secs in his faltering defence. The British Olympic champion is now a distant 3min 29sec adrift in the overall standings and facing a monumental challenge to get back amongst the leaders. Thursday's fourth stage is a 152.5km ride through the mountains from Al Satiyah to the finish line at the peak of a stiff climb at Jabal Al Akhdar.The six-stage race concludes on Saturday.

Bruins Talk
Some talking points from the Bruins first win in four games.
Here are five thoughts from the third period with the Bruins taking a 6-3 win over the Isles at Nassau Coliseum.
The Bruins manage to pour on the offense and fully support Tuukka Rask with six goals from all four Boston lines.
Here are five thoughts from the second period with the Bruins leading the Islanders by a 6-2 score at Nassau Coliseum.
Here are five thoughts from the first period with the Bruins leading the Islanders by a 3-0 score at the Nassau Coliseum.
Tuukka Rask hasn't played since he was yanked from a 6-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, but will get the start against the New York Islanders.
Chris Kelly is still stuck in Canada due to work visa paperwork, and will not play against the New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum.

Grace Dent on TV: Why wouldn't a cat start lobbying for John West tuna chunks at 4am?
07 June 2014 12:00 AM
The home of mainstream, brain-relaxing telly, ITV, ran two The Secret Life of… documentaries on the most broad and inclusive of subjects this week: cats and babies. Well, I say inclusive. I didn't bother with the baby one. I have a Facebook account, thus there are no more secrets about the world's "bubbas" left to uncover. They look like pickled eggs and they make you very boring. The secrets are out. I did, however, due to the marvellousness of the cat documentary, catch up on its forerunner, The Secret Life of Dogs, which ran last year and is still available on ITV Player. I suggest you do, too, as to my mind most decent British people identify as either a cat person or a dog person.
