RealD Records a Quarterly Loss and Falling Revenue
RealD reported declining revenue and earnings in the latest quarter as customers opted for old-fashioned, two-dimensional films in larger numbers than expected.
RealD said Wednesday that revenue fell 4 percent to $46.9 million and that it lost $4.2 million in the quarter, reversing a $2.8 million profit the year earlier.
RealD recently changed its quarterly reporting periods, so the reversal in fortune came despite an additional 10 days in the most recent quarter compared with the same quarter last year.

"2D films generated an outsized share of global box-office receipts during our third fiscal quarter, which limited our financial results for the quarter," RealD CEO Michael Lewis said.
The box office generated on RealD-enabled screens during the quarter was $643 million, up from $532 million last year. The increase was due to their being nine 3D films this time compared with eight last year, as well as a 13 percent increase in the number of screens, now at 22,200 worldwide and growing. On Wednesday, for example, RealD said Russian exhibitors Karo Film and Kinomax will equip up to a combined 300 RealD systems across their circuits.
Films in the current quarter for RealD are The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D, which opened Jan. 4, and the upcoming Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Escape from Planet Earth, Jack the Giant Slayer, Oz: The Great and Powerful, The Croods and GI Joe: Retaliation.
Shares of RealD were up 2 percent to $11.65 Wednesday and did not trade after the closing bell.

Alexa Mihalos celebrated her second birthday on July 8, 2014, but to members of her family, the celebration was a rebirth because of everything the little girl has been through over the past two years.
Born with narrow nasal passages which impaired her breathing, Alexa has spent a large portion of her young life in a hospital and connected to a tracheostomy (trach) tube undergoing numerous medical procedures to correct the problem.
And even though she received numerous presents for the occasion, the Nanticoke tot was on the giving end of her birthday by letting her parents Jeanna and Manny and grandparents hear her laugh and talk for the first time.
By all accounts when Alexa was born, everything seemed fine. Her maternal grandfather Ron Bau of Hunlock Creek recalls getting the call that he had a healthy granddaughter. But minutes later, that changed.
The doctors noticed that tiny Alexa was having trouble breathing and suspected that there was trouble with swelling in her nasal passages but later they realized it was much more than just swelling. She was sent to Moses Taylor Hospital, Scranton.
Mother Jeanna Mihalos held her for the first time two days after she was born. Four days later, Alexa was lifeflighted to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Jeanna didn't hold her child again until six weeks later.
While at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Alexa had two operations on her nose for pyriform aperture stenosis, a rare anomaly where the anterior opening of the nose is narrow and there is overgrowth of the maxillary bone. The time she was recovering from these surgeries she kept taking her breathing tube out which caused a build up of scar tissue and an inflammation in her trachea, which brought about the necessity for having a trach tube inserted to help her breathe.
"I remember the day that she got the trach," Jeanna said. "My husband and I had mixed emotions over seeing her with the trach but we said maybe this will help her get home faster. Then she gave us a big smile as if to say, 'Finally, I can breathe on my own."'
But that was just the beginning of her battle. Since Alexa was a baby, she often dislodged the trach tube by sheer movement or by trying to pull it out. Her parents were unable to be away from her side. She needed eyes on her 24/7 to make sure she didn't block her trach. Jeanna quit her job at the Red Cross and became a full-time stay-at-home mother and caretaker.
Jeanna and Manny stayed at a hotel for two weeks before they were able to get a room at the Ronald McDonald House, where they lived for 2-1/2 months, while Alexa was hospitalized in Philadelphia. Staying in the city proved costly for the couple.
Her mother and father had to be certified in trach CPR and emergency procedures before Alexa was discharged so that they could come to her assistance should something happen.
On Oct. 4, 2012, Alexa was finally able to come home, but it wasn't the homecoming they had hoped for. "Bringing a new baby home was overwhelming enough," Jeanna said. "But we had tons of medical equipment, boxes everywhere and there were strangers in my house."
There were several times in the hospital that Alexa coded, needed resusitation, and once at home.
During one of those times, Jeanna had to resuscitate her daughter when a night nurse neglected to notice the baby pulled out her trach tube. After that experience, the family let that nurse go and Jeanna often slept on the floor near her daughter's crib while her father stood guard to wake her should something happen. After two months without night nursing, the couple signed on with another nursing agency and received three nurses Alexa loves.
But through it all, Alexa was determined. "She was always the happiest baby," her mother said.
Although Alexa couldn't speak, her progression in other ways, such as walking, was right on par with other children her age. When Alexa was just a few months old, her mother began teaching her sign language. "It was a big way for her to communicate with us," Jeanna said. "She could tell us she was hungry or tired. She also learned signs for animals that she saw."
Last November was a major step forward for Alexa when she had double stage larynotracheal reconstruction. Cartilage from her rib was used to expand the airways in order to widen the trachea. A follow-up single stage surgery was conducted in June. Her surgeon Dr. Ian Jacobs proclaimed her diagnosis stellar. Dr. Jacobs said "she has a better trachea than all of us, and she exceeded all my expectations."
Jeanna got a major surprise in the middle of the night, days after surgery, when she awakened to the sound of a cry. It took her a minute, and then she realized the baby's crying was her own daughter marking the very first time she ever heard Alexa cry. Then she and Alexa cried together.
Things are changing at the Mihalos household and slowly getting back to the normal of what it would be to have a 2-year-old child. Alexa can take regular baths now as opposed to sponge baths. A suction machine and emergency trach bag doesn't have to be carried everywhere that Alexa goes. Alexa visited Knoebel's Amusement Park as part of a trach-free celebration planned for her.
"The things you didn't think of before, you take for granted," Jeanna said. "It's so freeing. I couldn't drive for the longest time because I had to always sit next to her. Now Alexa and I can go for rides together. I couldn't wear perfume because she couldn't be around strong smells."
Jeanna still has to thicken all of her liquids because Alexa still aspirates them. She has a large scar on her neck from the trach tube and two scars on her chest from the rib graft surgeries. She also lost some of her hair, which the doctors diagnosed as alopecia attributed to stress. Alexa still has night nursing to monitor her oxygen levels with a pulse ox and hopefully nursing will be discontinued after her bronchoscopy in September.
Alexa has been talking now and can say "mama," "dada" and "two." She is receiving speech therapy and doctors are sure that she will catch up to her peers before she enters preschool.
Caring for her daughter over the past two years provided the impetus for Jeanna to begin a rebirth of her own. She plans on studying surgical technology at Luzerne County Community College this fall since she saw first hand how successful Alexa's surgeries were.
If Alexa had been born in the early 90's she would have probably had her trach into her 20's. "Dr. Jacobs gave Alexa something we couldn't give her," her mother said. "He gave her the gift of breathing."
Alexa will never remember any of this but her parents will tell her all about it and she has the scars and pictures to prove it.
"The past two years were draining and exhausting, but I don't even see that now," Jeanna said. "This is an exciting time for us."

It took a week or two for the effectiveness to become obvious. I am always tapping my foot or fidgeting. I can't stop it. I also have a hard time focusing and staying on track. After a couple of weeks, the fidgeting stopped and I can tell a difference in my concentration too. Though I have not been to a doctor to see if I have adult ADD or ADHD, I'm fairly sure I do have it based on what I've read. This has helped me. Just to make sure, I stopped taking it for a month and went back on. I started tapping my foot again and found it hard to track. Got back on and right away noticed change. I think DMAE is worth trying.
DMAE for depression

This has been a life-saver for me. I've tried many things, many I can't take because it makes my heart pound. SAMe did that plus it made me feel even more deeply depressed by the second dose. DMAE made a difference immediately. The first day I already began to feel better; even my family noticed the difference in my mood. I would recommend trying DMAE if other things are not working for you.

I have read some interesting things about DMAE & it's effect on brain and cognition. I tried it about 2 yrs, ago & don't go a day without it, now. At wikipedia it is describes as having been studied for people w/ADD (which I have) & memory impairment. It is classed as a "nootropic". To quote, also from Wikipedia, "Nootropics (pronounced /noʊ.ɵˈtrɒpɨks/), also referred to as smart drugs, memory enhancers, and cognitive enhancers, are drugs, supplements, nutraceuticals, and functional foods that are purported to improve mental functions such as cognition, memory, intelligence, motivation, attention, and concentration." I also take, & have found Huperzine, Lecithin and DHA to be helpful, also. I have found this combination to be of tremendous help. I'm more high-functioning with this combo.
Helps with concentration and focus

I got an immediate mental boost from this. Since starting DMAE, at work I'm able to settle in, concentrate and focus, and just get in a zone. I'm more productive, and work goes faster. Great stuff!

The Space
This house is perfect for anyone that wishes to come and see a Nationals game or just visit Washington, DC. The house is located one block away from the stadium, and it takes less than 5 minutes walking to reach the front gate.
This home has just gone a major renovation featuring brand new leather sofa, TV, washer and dryer, kitchen table, hardwood floors, etc. It features 3 rooms with a full bathroom. First floor has the guest room with a dining room, the second room includes full bathroom, 2 bedrooms and a storage room. You will only have access to first floor as well as the bathroom and your bedroom on the second floor. Should you wish us to keep your luggage it will be locked in the storage room on the second floor.
The house is located a block away(5 minute walk) from the Fort Lesley J. McNair Army Base as well as the National Defense University. It is very easily reachable by public transport - between two metro stops on the green line. You can be in downtown Washington DC in under 15 minutes walking or under 5 driving.
The area is very walk-able. Safeway/CVS and new restaurants within a walking distance. Also very close to the world-famous Smithsonian Museums, The Capitol, etc.
The house comes with a off-street parking which is strictly regulated by the Washington Parking Authority. I would provide a pass for one car ONLY which can be used for the duration of your stay. Parking during events can cost as much as $30. During games there is plenty of parking since the parking on the street is for residents/guests only.
Generally check-in is at 3:30pm but please try to let us know when you will be able to arrive. We can be flexible with check-in and check-out times so please inquire with us before booking.
Smoking in the house is not allowed however one can smoke outside. There is plenty of space in the back or front of the house. We also have a large closet and shed outside, so we could store you luggage/bike etc should your flight depart late at night.
We do not impose a limit on the number of guests but should you wish to have somebody else along please let us know. We can provide inflatable bed.
Need a ride? We could pick you up from the following places:
Dulles Airport(IAD): $50 (Taxi: $80)
Baltimore Airport(BWI): $60 (Taxi: $100)
Ronald Reagan Airport(DCA): $15 (Taxi: $25)
Union Station: $10 (Taxi: $20)
Also if you have not used uber you can use them for $20 off your first ride with promo code FREE20ATDC, so your transportation to my house might be free.
Any other location please let us know in advance.
Also please note that we may not be able to pick you up during certain hours, so please coordinate with us first.
The Neighborhood
Southwest Waterfront is part of Pierre L'Enfant's original city plans and includes some of the oldest buildings in the city, including the Wheat Row block of townhouses, built in 1793, and Fort McNair, which was established in 1791 as "the U.S. Arsenal at Greenleaf Point."
After the Civil War, the Southwest Waterfront became a neighborhood for the poorer classes of Washingtonians. The neighborhood was divided in half by Fourth Street SW, then known as 41⁄2 Street; Scottish, Irish, German, and eastern European immigrants lived west of 41⁄2 Street, while freed blacks lived to the east. Each half was centered on religious establishments: St. Dominic's Catholic Church and Temple Beth Israel on the west, and Friendship Baptist Church on the east. (Also, each half of the neighborhood was the childhood residence of a future American musical star — Al Jolson lived on 41⁄2 Street for a time, and Marvin Gaye was born in a tenement on First Street.)
The Waterfront developed into a quite contradictory area: it had a thriving commercial district with grocery stores, shops, a movie theater, as well as a few large and elaborate houses (mostly owned by wealthy blacks). However, most of the neighborhood was a very poor shantytown of tenements, shacks, and even tents. These places, some of them in the shadow of the Capitol, were frequent subjects of photographs that were published with captions like, "The Washington that tourists never see."
In the 1950s, city planners working with the Congress decided that the entire Southwest quadrant should undergo significant urban renewal — in this case, meaning that the city would acquire nearly all land south of the mall (except Bolling Air Force Base and Fort McNair), either through voluntary purchases or through the use of eminent domain; evict virtually all of its residents and businesses; destroy many of its streets, and all of its buildings and landscapes; and start again from scratch.
Getting around
The house is between 2 metro stops on the Green line - Navy Yard/National's Stadium and Waterfront.
There is a public bus stop right in front of the house.
Smoking allowed, but only outside the house. Please cleanup after yourself. Internet/Cable TV/use of kitchen will be included for free with the daily rate.
We live in this house and always take our shoes off when entering the house and we expect you to do the same. This is a private home so please respect our traditions. We do not charge cleaning fee for a reason and we would like to keep it that way. Your assistance in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Check in is flexible(generally after 3:30pm) and we will do everything we can to make it convenient for you but please realize that during work hours we can't always be around. Please try to check in before 10:00pm. We wake up very early in the morning and it is hard for us to stay late and wait for you.
There is a queen size bed which would be perfect for two people. A third person can sleep on a single size inflatable bed that we have. A security deposit is required just in case something is broken/damaged and needs to be repaired. It will be returned in FULL when I have verified nothing has been damaged.
Please inquire before you book for any additional questions.
Listing description is accurate. Clean, modest room in quiet neighborhood. Comfortable walking distance to Waterfront Metro.
Conveniently close to the 74 bus stop. Facilities were great, kitchen access, hot showers, and everything (sheets, towels, toiletries) was all taken care of. Foam/memory mattress & pillow on the double bed. Very pleasant trip!
The place is excellent located in terms of bus/metro accessibility. No more than a ten minute from any metro stop. It's also invredibly close to the national mall. The house is nice, the amenities are there and if they aren't you just haveto talk to Dennis and he makes sure they are. Wonderful hosts all around even for all of us wanting to use the kicthen at the same time.
Nothing bad to say about the place. It suited us, had privacy and the house was in a good safe location walking distance from washington wall etc. I would reccommend it.
Dennis는 저희를 정말 반갑게 맞이해주었어요. 그의 가족분들도 함께 웃으며 인사를 해주셨고, 무거운 짐도 2층 방까지 들어주셔서 정말 감사했어요. 집의 시설은 무척 깨끗했고, 1층과 2층에 화장실이 각각 있어서 편안하게 사용할 수 있었어요. 다시 워싱턴을 방문한다면 Dennis의 집에서 머무르고 싶어요.
Dennis was very responsive to queries and made us feel welcome upon our arrival in Washington DC. When we arrived he apologetically informed us that the toilet was out of service but we saw them attempt to fix it every night. Very pleased despite that and located in a good part of town, not too far from downtown and the White House (20min walk).
I worried I could not find the owner, but the room was comfortable. But I was a little uncomfortable to sharpen our own duvet covers. When I have another question Dennis was struggling to solve it. Sorry I did not see Dennis. Thank you Dennis
This host has 55 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
We are two young professional working in the IT and sales industry. We have been living in the Washington area for the past 6 years. Our hobbies include biking, heavy emphasis on traveling(at least 2 weekends per month we are out of DC), playing soccer, playing computer games, etc.
We travel all over the world for pleasure and love to visit new places. When I say a lot I mean it. Just for 2012 we have done Australia, Korea, China, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Spain, Brazil and Argentina, and have traveled separately to those places(not a single combined trip). Not to mention the numerous US side trips. So needless to say we are also huge mileage/travel junkies.

Getting More out of Logging with GXT
Logging can provide invaluable process information during and after development and while you're debugging. It can be completely compiled out, or added back to assist you with debugging in production, and can be customized for your particular application to render exactly the details you need. In this article, you'll learn about the three main logging mechanisms built into GWT.
Using the GWT Compiler for Better Builds
Many developers use Sencha GXT and GWT to help their teams produce structured, powerful, and maintainable web applications. In this article, we'll discuss several different ways to customize what the compiler is building for you, and how it can impact build times and output sizes.
Migrating Styles & Themes from Ext GWT 2 to Sencha GXT 3
In Ext GWT 2, component styles were defined in a single large CSS file. Developers could extend or redefine the styles in this file to control the appearance of a component or define a custom theme. Although this made it easy to give components a new look, it was hard to determine the relationship between the styles in the CSS file and the components in the library. Furthermore, there was no assurance that all of the styles in the CSS file were needed, or that the styles needed for a particular component were actually defined in the CSS file.
Extensions, Extensions, Extensions
Extensions provide developers with valuable features beyond those that ship in Sencha's frameworks, and are a very important part of the Sencha platform. At Sencha, we are investing to improve the ecosystem of extensions on our platform and I wanted to share an early look at our progress.
Expressive Presentation of Data with Sencha GXT 3 Charts
In a previous article, we discussed the charting library as a whole. However, there is far more to the Sencha GXT 3 charting library than was covered in that introduction. This article discusses a number of the more intermediate and advanced features that you can use — including tweaking the data store backing your chart. With some simple changes to the basic chart setup, you can make your visualizations even more explanatory and expressive.
Announcing Sencha GXT 3.0
We're excited to announce the general availability of Sencha GXT 3.0! Sencha GXT, previously known as Ext GWT, is our Java based web application framework that leverages the Google Web Toolkit compiler. With the Sencha GXT 3.0 framework, developers can build high performance web applications with cross-browser compatibility across all desktop browsers.
Ext GWT 3.0 State API
The Ext GWT 3.0 State API provides the ability to persist state information. The API supports saving state data to different persistence providers. These include providers based on cookies and HTML5 local storage. The data are saved and retrieved as a map from string keys to string values. State data are serialized to strings and deserialized to objects via the bean-like interfaces of GWT AutoBeans. This data is retrieved asynchronously, and this allows for asynchronous providers such as those that communicate via RPC.
Sencha Learn Roundup
We're constantly updating Sencha Learn with new content for many of our products. Read on to find out what you might've missed.
Ext GWT 3.0 Beta Now Available
Today we are happy to announce the availability of Ext GWT 3.0 Beta. Read on to find about our future plans for 3.x, and a special promotion going through December 2011.
Ext GWT 3.0 Developer Preview 5
The Ext GWT team has been hard at work on Ext GWT 3.0 and we're happy to announce the availability of Ext GWT 3.0 PR5. This will be the last developer preview release as we move toward our 3.0 beta releases. There are a tremendous number of improvements and features added since PR4. As a result, we are closing in on being feature complete.

First Steam Game, wont ever forget
L4D is perhaps the best FPS ive ever played, and no doubt the best zombie game. it was my first Steam game. The AI Director keeps u in suspense, and all the game modes are fun. The gameplay mechanics are epic and nothing really brings this game down. I reccomend it to all Steam gamers and all Zombie-FPS gamers.

"New Title: "Step by Step to How Not to Be Funny""
Someone who has insomnia but doesn't want to take sleeping pills. Or maybe someone who is testing noise canceling headphones--put on the headphones and play this really loud on your computer speakers to see if the headphones work well or not.
If anything, it should encourage other writers in this genre that a definitive work has yet to be written. How do you write a book on stand-up comedy that isn't funny?
Lassie? Eddie, the dog from Frazier? Silent Bob?
Really? Really? Do I need any more?
If you ever thought Steve Jobs was an overrated, arrogant, selfish, self-absorbed, petulant, churlish a**h*le who got very lucky and rich by associating and using/abusing people with more talent and better ideas than he had (and freely taking credit for them), well, this is the book for you my friend because it confirms it all. Kids out of wedlock, absentee father, disgusting personal grooming habits, abusive employer and all-around sh*t--well, that about sums up Steve Jobs. If he had become an religious evangelist, he'd be Jim Jones squared. Fortunately he only went into computers, so no one died. Well, thankfully, he did.
Steve Jobs is shown for the total tool he was.
Steve washing his feet in the toilet. Someone should have flushed just then and maybe he'd have gone down the bowl.
Yeah, what a totally crappy father he was to his kids--including his out-of-wedlock daughter which he, in typical fashion, ignored and initially claimed wasn't his.
Loved the book. The truth is tough to take.
"Thrilling, Interesting, Compelling."
An interesting story of an amazing life. Disney was a transformative creative spirit. Driven, brilliant, driven, determined--and all too human.
Walt overcame numerous adversities. Even after his unambiguous movie success, he still had to fight the dim-witted and vision-less to get his dreams accomplished. Spoiler alert: Walt was a real person, had his faults, stresses and disappointments, could be cranky and short, got angry and sad, was funny and witty, and all the other facets that makes us all human. If you want this to be a gum-drop and lolly-pop book about "Uncle Walt", you'll be disappointed. If you want to respect a man who never stopped working to get his live his dreams, this book sets this out clearly.
By speaking. Boring recitation of an otherwise thrilling, interesting and compelling story. What does he do for fun, read textbooks?
The author tries, unsuccessfully, to make this out to be more of an academic treatise than it really is. I could have lived without the footnotes, randomly inserted for effect.

Hola! Quick trip into Spain
... an Andorra police officer which will make a nice addition to his collection.
We then jumped in the car and headed west about 25km to the town of La Seu d'Urgell in Spain. While crossing the border we were stopped by the Spanish Police checking to make sure we were not bringing in goods over the duty free allowance and Nathan took the opportunity to get his second badge for the morning. It was interesting in that as soon as we crossed the border ...

... litre of gin cost about 3 euro in the supermarket and electronic goods such as phones, cameras etc. However, the most interesting things were saw for sale at many shops were replica pistols that fired pellets, taser devices, extendable ASP batons, peppers spray and handcuffs.
We ended the night with a wonderful meal in a Spanish restaurant. Hopefully tomorrow we will get the chance to slip into Spain as well as a play in the snow.
Day of Snow Play
Well, today was officially our coldest day of the trip so far, the temperature got down to -6 in the afternoon! But to be fair were on top of a mountain in the Pyrenees enjoying some snow play. We drove 220km south-west towards the border of Spain where we drove into the mountains to the a ski fields at Plateau de Beille.

2013 Ford Escape SUV SEL 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Just bought this car, has under 200 miles on it. Opted for the tow package with the 2.0 liter engine. Smaller than the mid-size SUV that I traded in but I love the handling and extra horsepower of the 2 liter engine. If you have a big family this car may NOT be for you. Skip the pricy options such as Nav, Park Assist, Back Up sensors, BLIS, Cross Traffic, and Power Lift Gate. Dealer included installation of the roof rack in the price. This car has many of the luxury items that my wife's new Volvo S80 has. I guess Ford learned something when they owned Volvo way back when. Highly recommend this car.

2013 Ford Escape SUV SE 4dr SUV (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Replaced wife's 2005 Rav-4 with a new Escape.
First Ford I bought since my Mach 1 Mustang back in 1970 (wish I still had that one).
Love the car!
Test drove several SUV's and it was love at first drive with the Escape.
Had it all.
Comfort, performance, and style all great.
Especially like the interior design. It is so smoooooth and quiet to drive that I leave my car and take hers when I can.
Got basic SE model and added leather seats in the aftermarket for $950, for a total of $24,600, plus TTL.
I agree with one magazine review I read that said the new Escape puts the "Sport" back in SUV!
Am getting 28 mpg in combined, mostly rural driving.
Got 32 on a trip down I-90.

2013 Ford Escape SUV SEL 4dr SUV (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
Purchased a brand new Escape - for mileage - went from 07 Suburban to 09 Mariner (slightly better MPG but no go) to 11 Edge (about same MPG but more go) to $4.00 gas and hence the Escape.
Very cool car.
Did NOT get nav - $800 - did NOT get park assist (miss rear radar though) $1000 and did not get sunroof ($1 zillion).
Consequently ended up with leather my ford touch (much improved over 2011) heated seats dual climate control etc for $26K.
Seats much firmer than the edge - videos on ford website actually discussed seat design.
Rear air is great. Rear passengers however had no control over their reading lights.
Car handles very very well - surprisingly so.
Read the full review
Traded up from my 2007 Legacy sedan - needed more room and better mileage, and I found both at Ford.
We have a 2005 Mazda Tribute (rebadged Ford Escape) and we have really liked it, when the Subaru proved unreliable, we looked at the new Escape and chose it over the Forester and Mazda CX-5.
Exterior styling is excellent - much more like BMW than Ford's traditionally blocky lines.
Interior is very comfortable for extended rides, roomy and functional, too.
One lever fold-down rear seats give a flat floor for loading cargo; back seat is roomy enough for a 6-ft adult to sit comfortably.
Still learning My Ford Touch system, but voice command works reasonably well.

I have owned a 2013 Ford Escape SEL AWD with the 2.0L engine for nearly three months and have driven it for about 4,300 miles.
I have had multiple issues with the vehicle since the day of delivery.
We chose this vehicle over several others based on reviews, the perception that Ford has turned the corner on quality and seeing at an auto show. We ordered it before any were available for a test drive. Sadly, a potentially great vehicle has been one bad experience after another.

... but room for improvement.
1.6L Ecoboost is plenty of go for everyday use, but doesn't achieve anywhere near the advertised fuel economy.
Transmission is smooth.
Interior appointment is nice in the front seating area with soft-touch material, but cheap with hard plastic in the back.
MyFordTouch and SYNC are still buggy and seem to do whatever they want, with no rhyme or reason.
'Wave your foot' liftgate is a neat gimmick that doesn't work reliably.
Much easier to find the key fob and hit the button twice.

2013 Ford Escape SUV Titanium 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
A few weeks I made the final decision on the Escape. I have been tracking it for more than a year through its design and testing cycles and liked all the reviews that I had read on it. Ford had no reason to update the Escape but they did, and I like it!
When compared to similiar compact SUV's it stands on top. The 1.6 Eco has plenty of power but the 2.0 Ecoboost doesnt have to be pushed much to get in and out of traffic quickly. The Tech features make the drive easier and My Ford Touch is 1000X's better than first generation Synch models.

2013 Ford Escape SUV Titanium 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
We traded a top end CR-V for our new Escape about 2 months ago.
While we enjoyed our CR-V and felt it was an excellent vehicle, we really love our new Escape even more.
While the CR-V was efficient for getting from point A to point B, the 2013 does the same thing with lots of class and pizzaz.
It is peppy, handles like a go cart on rails and has lots of quality features as well as "bells and whistles" that make it fun to drive.
Everyone who sees it raves about what a sharp vehicle it is.
Being a retired couple, we are not terribly "tech savey" but we have been able to figure out most
features of MyFord Touch with no problem.
Glad we bought the Escape instead of others we drove.

Fantastic vehicle!
Acceleration is quick and very responsive, leather seats are very comfortable, has every feature one could ever want in a car right now and also has good gas mileage.
Ford Touch has worked great for the moment and I haven't had any issues like I read about. Hopefully that will continue. I really don't have any complaints at the moment.

After a week of mostly 2 lane highway driving, I offer the following observations. The cabin is very quiet and the ride quality in the front seats is excellent. It handles choppy pavement quite well. In my opinion, it continues Ford's recent unfortunate trend of being overly "tech-happy" even when the benefits appear slim. I was able to find one without FordTouch. Sync will only partially connect with my older Bluetooth phone, making but not receiving calls, a problem the salesperson says is common. I strongly suspect the buyer demographic for this car will be much older than for the Focus/Fiesta and simpler would be appreciated.

Music Recommendation System for iTunes released
The Music Recommendation System is an automated system that provides music recommendations specifically tailored to each user to find new music that they might like. This system, designed by students at the University of Illinois (Champaign-Urbana), operates by taking ratings from your own iTunes playlists and comparing them against other users who have used the recommendation system. Right now we have a very small number of users, and so the recommendations will most likely be laughable. However they will get better over time as more people enter into the system; meanwhile, enjoy while the numbers grow. Works on Mac or Windows.
What's new in this version:
Mac version updated to 1.02: fixes crashes associated with sending ratings in Mac OS X 10.2
License: Freeware
System Requirements:
Mac: Mac OS X (10.2 or later) & iTunes (4.0 or later)
Windows: Microsoft .NET Framework (1.1 or later) & iTunes (4.0 or later)

How many things have been released around iTunes/iPod then been hit with an unexpected amount of hits and the server gives up. This is obviously gonna be visited alot and use alot of bandwidth you would think they would of thought about the server before releasing the software.
