Why? Cause even after TEN YEARS, the older players keep making the same sophomoric mistakes over and over and over and over again. Noobs with a free account rifles that use any TACTICS can dominate these morons. I just can't stand watching my team getting slaughtered over and over again. I end up on the radio, shouting at my side in chat for doing such stupid sh*t, so I have to exit the game.
An example, that is the rule and not the exception to the rule: I was just online as Germans and Germans were attacking a city. I'm on my free trial rifle account, and spawn in 1 KM away from enemy town on a hill, I spawn into mobile spawn. Out of 10 other friendly infantry in the immediate vicinity apparently I'm the only one that hears enemy rifle and an enemy ATG sounds coming from behind our position while the 10 other friendlies just hapily march on towards town to certain death. Those friendlies are eventually MG'ed down, while I walk in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION looking for an enemy spawn FRU. I never find it, but while chasing in the direction of the ATG sound I heard (turns out to be a wacky laffy) I get one EI sapper crawling around in the grass which was sniping at our guys from behind. The wacky laffy saw me, and drove away (I still thought it was a truck+ATG), eventually got killed by a german ATG somewhere else while I was still chasing it's in the direction of the sound.
10 minutes later a truck with 2 88's (german anti tank guns), and 2 friendly tanks roll on by probably to setup on hill i'm on; no infantry support whatsoever! I'm the only friendly infantry around, and I had just marked a bunch of enemy infantry positions on the map at that exact spot. So I huff it on towards the 2 friendly 88's and immediately hear they are under fire by enemy infantry that were hiding (I didn't find their spawn point in that 15 minute time period). I kill 2 EI that were shooting at the 88's. But it's really only me against probably 5 EI, cause I could hear more approaching that got tunnel vision firing at the 88's from a distance.
So as a lowly free-account rifleman I forced 1 wacky laffy to relocate which eventually got him killed by another german player, and killed 3 enemy sappers (most valuable infantry in game, they can put satchels on tanks and destroy them). No that I'm bragging, I consider myself to be a moderate to bad shot with the rifle, in fact I missed 2 out of 3 shots at almost point blank range on those enemy infantry; I just happen to use a MINIMUM amount of tactics to win.
Get a group of rifleman players together, even with free accounts, using any tactics whatsoever, and they can dominate these morons.

Sounds to me like the others were trying to solo, or something very similar to that style of game play. On the one hand I would say that they deserve to fail, but on the other, it would really suck to be on their team.
Not that I'm ever going to play this game.
Yeah I used to swear half the players listened to music while playing. Listening to the sounds is so helpful. I had one funny instance driving off from my FB in a Vicky (backup an attack) only to hear a 'tink' on the back armor. Slam on the brakes and pull a 180 and there I see a hot drop of German sappers and one lone guy (I assume who did the not advisable shot) looking at me. Switch into the gun position and now three germans are looking in my direction and I know what they are thinking. I open up with the MG and have much fun, I just hope they weren't too hard on the guy who fired the shot hehe. There are some really good times.
But you do realize though that that type of play that allows you to do that is also one of the issues. For every easy pickings ATG out there without defense and mucho fun for you, there is a poor ATGer who couldn't get any teamwork and defense for his ATG.
It was a pity as I LOVED ATGs, now that's something RO doesn't have (or almost any WWII sim). That's why I'd need ATG and a self tow to ever come back to WWIIOL. Bad enough getting a tow, worse getting no def and with all the crazy bush (which makes inf def almost pointless which is a point I give to the folks who don't want to bother) even finding a place to get a shot. Nothing worse than having your crew get shot in the hand and becoming useless and having to despawn. As teamwork stands, just not worth the time pushing out of a town, we'll except maybe for the start of the map with the ATG's that still have decent push speed, but RDP flashes past.
Im biased when I say this but the best unit in the game is the brit gren. Give me a Brit gren and panzers near by even with supporting inf and its a bad day for the panzers. Its the most underrated unit in the game. Always ticked me off watching all the allied guys drive out out all the armor and then complain for HC to move in more supply when they had a full list of these units to play with. If you ever got smoked in a panzer while on the move it was me or one of the handful of others on the allied side who had mastered it as a anti-tank unit.

"what a boring life, HATING everything" -Gorilla Biscuits
Well said I noticed this myself during the brief time I played, it seems like the Germans actually have their act together, however due to their numbers I always chose allies, although I can see why they have less players. All they do is argue back and forth with HC they deploy no tactics what so ever. Needless to say it was a choice of quiting or joining the german zerg, I went with quiting.
It's a shame to as I loved the game-play as well as realism of it all, the bickering and lack of true leadership however devalued the experience of the game.

I consider myself lucky that I hooked up with 3CD who had a no camping pact with the Iron Wolves (iirc) from the start. I never knew what the camping issue was that I read about in the forums. Goes to show that even though the game was map driven, if you liked the combat it would pay off not to win at all costs.
Originally posted by Tontoman
Sort of but the game was not map driven it was player driven. And all the complaints about camping is what forced the hand holding, lead me by the nose combat we have now. And for what? The player base gave up freedom of gameplay in exchange for nothing camping is still the main method of capping a town. Only diffrence now is that instead of the playerbase controling the action all over the map we get spoon feed AO's by HC.
Nerf up there wants to point out tank zergs great i agree with him they seldom work. But the point is when is the last time you saw players driveing up reinforcements or supply cuts. When is the last time you saw a group of guys spend time and drive those tanks in formation across country to attack from a diffrent direction other than the road from the Fb to the town like now. When is the last time you saw inf and armor work together or air cap over a town that was under attack. Or heck even 200 players on vent or TS on one single attack. You dont and thats the real shame.
No what we have now is instant action click feast and a huge map that really does not matter cause guess what AO and instant supply forces all the play into a small box around the town. You might as well be playing CS and thats what the rats want really they dont want real sim guys anymore. And Im ok with that they took my money for 10 years and gave me a road map on what they wanted the game to be none of this crap was listed on that road map. But you know what im glad I got to play this game when it did represent something so those 10 years where not wasted least in my book.

Its so easy to blame the HC and blame the AO's....welcome to a game that has evolved over 10 years and is still evolving.
If only it was as simpel as A = B, but sadly, like life, nothing is black and white.
CRS are the only people that know why they changed the game mechanics like they did. Perhaps the game mechanics may do do certain things, but the question is why?
RAT1 "Hay! We have an uber game, people are logging on to play it, we have a really successful game here..what shall we do??"
RAT2 "Tell you what, why don't we do "x" that will really p*ss the playerbase off, we've got no reason too, so we should do thaty..yeh".
RAT3 "I agree - we have no business reason at all to modify this game that is really working and cause people to log off".

Map driven as in what`s the ultimate point of the game and how important to you is that. Yeah the game was driven by the people, why in some cases (3CD, IW) you didn't have camping, but with other squads there was (camping specialists... can't remember the squads). Ultimately a players choice and the freedom to play however you want given enough of you want to play that way.
But people were also driven by the map in regard to how they viewed what's the point of the game. Some put the map first, and thus camping was the standard for quickest and easiest. Didn't matter how good the battles were, if you're losing cities (or not gaining as many in your prime time) you're just losing. Some put the gameplay first and didn't camp but tried to get the best out of the system while still being competative. That`s what I mean by the term.
And yep, the playerbase certainly did give up a ton for the supposide camping fix, one of those careful what you wish for. Pity once that it was obvious a real issue was up with squads, going back to the old system wasn`t considered and a poll to the playerbase done or something. Can`t blame the rats for trying something when the playerbase is asking for it, but business wise they might have had all programmers and not enough business sense. WWIIOL still remains as some of my fav gaming moments and some really rough mornings the next day :)
Maybe but the main problem was not the camping it was the capture mechanics. The let me bump a table instant caps caused huge issues with low pop 3 men and a opel land grabs. That and the split between allied forces always caused a huge pain in the arse. Axis always knew if they could hit along the seam where the 2 allied sides joined they could cause huge problems with resupply.
Ethier way Large squads got a bum wrap for camping. We had ews back then as well players just never took advantage of there tools like squads did. When you got assingned a AO a squad like the 101st took a proactive stance own the FBs and have air and land units check the EWS in any town we didnt control the fb. I can say for a fact we rarely got camped.
But its a diffrent type of player playing now they cant even guard a depot for 10 mins much less be expected to be proactive in anything other than finding out if there is a tank left to spawn or which mission is the closest to a town. Sad the rats are catering to this group but hey its there game but I doubt highly that these guys will be paying a sub for 10 years waiting on the promise of a brighter future.

The secret world will also feature a no-level world where newbies can participate in epic fights (end game), since there is no start and end game or levels, just a lot of puzzles to solve!
This video perfectly illustrates what I'm talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6R66kXaVcA
This guy is using the rifleman, supposedly the weakest unit in the game, while right on top of the enemy spawn point:
-neutralized an M10's anti infantry capability, while smoking it for friendlies to see
-Killed like 4 EI
-Killed like 8 ATG's
-Kept another player busy in another tank looking for him (guy in Char at end of video turreting around looking for him)
-Became forward observer, marking targets
Real skill, marksmanship, useage of terrain and knowledge of player/zerg behavior is what makes you top dog, not what your level is at.

As you can see by that video that ATG crew which usually in real would have been a few infantry with rifles too would have seen that infantry run up and taken out their rifles and pistols and shot that guy. Instead you see the funny mechanics that the ATG has to sit there and be blow up by the Zerging infantry interloper. The game is full of this unrealistic stuff. Might as well have had a compture AI position that cannot turn around.
Of course you could have taking it the other direction and seen that ATG start wheeling around and try to run over he infantry at 0.3 mph. If the ATG manages to just touch the infantry with its gun or wheel the game kills the infantry.. imagine the realism there.

Think of it as balance. If ATG's were really a crew of 2 infantry with pistols and rifles, nobody would spawn infantry; everyone will spawn an ATG and then run off as infantry with ATG backup whenever they needed it.

Shane's Sporting Clays caters to gun enthusiasts and corporate clientele
"After that, everything grew," Naylor said. "It grew probably four times, just by alleviating the need to call and make an appointment, and by not having employees at every station all the time."
How do you get new customers? Advertisement is not a priority for Naylor, with old-fashioned word-of-mouth generating customers. Corporations have played a major role in the company's growth as they make up a large part of Naylor's business. Many companies, such as Volvo, Stockhausen and Syngenta, have brought different team-building exercises and retreats to Shane's. Naylor says that he hopes to keep cultivating this market and has an ultimate goal of getting a corporate event every week.
What has been your biggest challenge? Because he hires high school- or college-aged workers on part-time or seasonal schedules, it is sometimes hard for him to find good workers willing to put in the hours and sweat necessary.
"Another thing is the weather and the season," Naylor says. "Surprisingly, the summers are our slowest time out here because of all the other outdoor recreation that people can do and also because the weather is just too hot."
To address this problem, Shane's Sporting Clays has made more social media pushes providing discounts on the shooting experience. A promotion on Living Social, in particular, was a boon, generating 1,100 prospects.
What is the Drake Naylor Invitational? A staple of many sporting clay ranges is an annual nonprofit event. For Shane's Sporting Clays, the Drake Naylor Invitation holds a special significance: Naylor's youngest son is deaf, blind and multihandicapped and attends Gateway Education Center in Greensboro. The Drake Naylor Invitational raises money for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation and has helped fund a new playground, a communication center and iPads for the special needs students at Gateway. Since the invitation started in 2005, the events have raised more than $393,000.

|Current status
Codecademy is an online interactive platform that offers free coding classes in 8 different programming languages including Python, PHP, jQuery, JavaScript, AngularJS, and Ruby, as well as markup languages HTML and CSS.[2][3] As of January 2014, the site had over 24 million users who had completed over 100 million exercises. [4][5][6] The site has received positive reviews from many blogs and websites, including the New York Times[7] and TechCrunch.[8]
Each individual who joins has their own profile. To motivate users to participate, the site offers feedback, badges for completing exercises, as well as a function that keeps track of a user's total score and total day streak, and displays it to others. There are also CSS and HTML glossaries available within each tutorial.[9] The site allows anyone to create and publish a new course using a Course Creator tool.
Codecademy also provides a forum where enthusiasts, beginners, and advanced coders can come together and help each other. For some courses, there are 'sandboxes' where users can test out their code. There are four main topics: Web (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP), Ruby, Python, and Miscellaneous.[9]
As part of the Computer Science Education Week held in December 2013, Codecademy launched their first iOS app called "Hour of Code". The app focuses on the basics of programming, including the same content from the website, and it's aimed for people who want to learn programming in a fun way and on the go.[10]
Codecademy was founded in August 2011 by Zach Sims and Ryan Bubinski.[11] Sims dropped out of Columbia University to focus on launching a venture, and Bubinski graduated from Columbia in 2011.[12] The company, headquartered in New York City, raised $2.5 million in Series A funding in October 2011 and $10 million in Series B funding in June 2012.[11][13] The latest round of funding was led by Index Ventures.[14] Crunchbase reports an additional Series C round of funding for an undisclosed amount, by Bloomberg Beta in June 2013.[15]
Code Year[edit]
Code Year is a free incentive Codecademy program for anyone who is interested in learning how to program. The program intends to help people follow through on a New Year's Resolution to learn how to program, by introducing a new course for every week in 2012.[16] Over 450,000 people took courses in 2012,[17][18] and Codecademy continued the program into 2013.

Remember Me
It Starts Where It Ends
Perry met Butler back at the Savannah College of Art and Design in 1997, where they lived together and co-founded the band. Not much has changed since then, though Perry lives about a hundred yards away on the same street. McDonald also lives two doors down from Butler, bringing my total commute for these talks to less than two minutes, barely enough time to catch the end of the song playing on the radio, which is, appropriately enough, "Georgia On My Mind."
After a few years of gigging and having fun in Savannah, it became apparent that something had to give, and Joe and Brett eventually left to pursue other things. Enter McDonald and Suttle, who were both enrolled in the U.S. Army at the time, often playing gigs and reporting to duty immediately afterwards. McDonald recalls meeting his future bandmate while serving overseas, "The first time I met Albert we went out to a club, talked, and I think it was the very next day we went to the band hall. They did have very nice gear there. They had a beautiful Yamaha C-7 Grand for me to play. So, we went to the band hall and I think we played for a solid four or five hours. Just the two of us jamming." Shortly thereafter in Savannah, McDonald and Suttle joined Brock and Perry at an open mic night at JJ Cagney's, which would serve as their unofficial home during the "definitive" lineup's formative gigs. Perpetual Groove as we know it today was born.
Drifting Towards Antidotes
After deciding this quartet would attempt a serious go at things, they cut their first album together, 2003's Sweet Oblivious Antidote. It manages to capture the excitement of something new while focusing on the emotional orgasms that PGroove has become known for. Butler recalls, "Well, I think if you want to put it in perspective, on Sweet Oblivious we were very green to recording but we had a real good, fiery emotion at the time, and we caught it on record really well."
To Shed Light
Discussion of the studio leads to talk about how for the first time many of the songs on LIVELOVEDIE were written in the studio with the collective input of every member. These include the yet-to-be-played-live "Dust" and "Save For One." Butler observes, "That's ["Save For One"] just another song we gave our best shot. The lyrics are very general. The last part I wrote on my way down to the studio. I didn't hit any lights or construction (which inspired the lyric):
There's few things as nice as an early morning drive
There's no construction and no lights
Save for one, the natural light of the day
"There's a lot to be said for having a nice, little drive in the morning, and not to be stuck in traffic," continues Butler, who pokes a little fun at me, saying, "But I guess you wouldn't know about that in New York City, huh?"
The band are quick to sing the praises of producer Robert Hannon (OutKast, Ludacris), who they first worked with on All This Everything. McDonald discusses another sign of their continued maturation, "We did for the first time what's called pre-production. We went into Tree Sounds Studios with just the four of us and Robert Hannon. Robert would be in the control room and the four of us would be out in the cave working on new songs. Basically, [we took] songs we hadn't even talked to each other about, just ideas we all had, and kind of pieced them together. Then, Robert became this fifth ear."
Mother Nature's Sons
"Perpetual Groove (PG) is taking a ground breaking, passionate approach to making music while leaving a positive impact on the environment, and setting an example for not just their fans, but the entertainment industry as a whole. PG is the first band to take extreme steps in making their products and business as environmentally friendly as possible. With LIVELOVEDIE... they have gone where no major labels has yet. The album is the first to be produced using renewable energies from the recording all the way down to the manufacturing having zero negative impact on our environment."
The packaging is made from 100-percent recyclable materials and soy inks, too. Butler says the environment is an important issue to the band but says, "A lot of these things we're being guinea pigs for, and we're able to do that. We're not in the biggest position, we're not on a major label, but we're willing to check out some alternative ways of doing things. Because everyone at Tree Sounds is so generous with their time they help facilitate a great many things. That just affords us the opportunity to do a lot of the things we're interested in anyway - the renewable energy resource being one of those."
-Matt McDonald
Shifting Colors
Butler gives the impression they've grown up over the last few years. On the newer songs, he comments, "Even if they have the same emotion of our old music, the approach is kind of different. We've learned how do more. We've learned how to be more effective in a shorter amount of time within a song." He mentions "Mayday," another song written in the studio, "I sat down and wanted to write something heavy. I said we need something just (mimes air guitar power chords while putting on an evil face). It's more like that, so that's what we did." Listen to "Mayday" and you'll quickly understand the deep, dark feel Butler was aiming for.
Expectations are sky-high for LIVELOVEDIE, not only within the band but their management, Tree Sounds Studios, and their ever-growing fan base. Fortunately, a week before the album's release it was already a top ten download on Oink.com.
Before leaving, I ask Butler if there's any particular message the band was trying to send on the new album, particularly in the title LIVELOVEDIE.
"It's not really a message at all," offers Butler. "It's three very huge words, and people define them for themselves. This is life right here - what you consider to be love, your views on death, and those things put together. Is that a morbid thought? Is that an optimistic thing? That's really up to the listener to decide. Someone can say, 'I had the greatest life because I found love.' Or maybe you don't find love and so you're just living and dying. In which case, I would say that's not very optimistic or happy. But, those three words people define for themselves."

So cool that they had a vision. A lot of bands talk about going in with no preconceived notions, and just let it happen. That's pretty cool too, but choosing and direction and finding something great down that path.
Nicely done piece Brian. No doubt this band is going to take it to the next level. I've been seeing the band for many years, and have absolute confidence they have what it takes. See ya'll at Amberland.
nice article with some thoughtful insights into the band. It looks like LIVELOVEDIE is justifing all the hype!!
How is the album? anyone got any insight compared to previous albums
great article!! The new album is very complete and there isn't a song on there that I would skip past. First studio effort I've listened to and I recommend everyone to go pick it up.
i was one of the luckey few to be at the taping of 1 of these magical nights in ATL. Groove is definately doing big things these days and will only continue to grow. no to brag but i somehow lucked out (prob bue to the kegs of sweetwater, provided by the venue) and snagged Brocks setlist w/ signature from night2, yea yea!, get this album - - many long jams and great song selection
I like P-Groove. I love Tea Leaf Green :) Go see both!
well done my man well done
I really enjoyed this artcile. Thanks Brian for giving this band such a great advocate on Jambase. Here's to seeing the arena rock in an arena (Little John Center, Clemson) in April! Good things, good things. Mazel, Mazel.
Good article and it seems like these guys a really nice guys with a good publicist because the music does not touch the hype.
Well tay1222, you are still in a small exclusive group! This Album is pure studio, The Cave Sessions have not been released yet, or announced for that matter. Lot of new material on album, as well as a new spin on show favorites!
Album Is Great O,( O'(

Really hit some great points and insight to everything..These guys are as good as advertised Knowing them personally they really care a whole lot about everything from their music to friends and fans... Its something special they have going.. If they are you get up and go see them and also this album is one of the best albums that have came out lately.. Really good stuff and a lot of great music.. as said Not 1 song i would skip on the album....congrats guys!!! and Once again Great Job Brain!!!
Great article...I've never heard the music, but I'm definitely going to check them out next chance I get to buy some new tunes. I'm always looking for something new. Thanks Jam Base. Keep bringing these in-depth articles to the surface!
High Sierra '05 Vaudeville Tent evening session...any band that can literally raise the roof w/ Lionel f'n Richie's "All Night Long" is cool by me...that tent was pumping crazy energy. Cool band, wish nothing but the best.
Great article!! I just got into these guys a few months ago. I heard like a 20 minute version of "Speedqueen" on Jam On on Sirius...Blew me away...Go the the "archive.org" for hundreds of their shows for free. I've downloaded like 50 shows already..I just can't get enough...Can' wait till they come to the West coast..
I can't wait to see PG with BoomBox on March, 23 2007 at Soul Kitchen in Mobile, Alabama. This will be an incredible lineup with a great groove moves. I cannot believe the great music scene in the South East that keeps you bumpin.
One of our fave raves - congratulations on the new album, guys! Look for PGroove (& Brock Butler solo) on our 3rd Season opening Jam Cruise 5 (double!) DVD coming early summer 2007. Until then, enjoy these past PG JamCam appearances...PERPETUAL GROOVE "SUNDOG" - SMILEFEST 2004www.jamcamdvd.com/videos/high/PGrooveSundog.wmvPERPETUAL GROOVE "TSMM" - WAKARUSA 2005www.jamcamdvd.com/videos/high/PGrooveTSMM.wmv
Just bought my tix for the Playhouse run. For those of you who haven't heard any of their music yet, go to www.archive.org. NYE and the 2-10 Athens shows are incredible, and contain most of the songs on the new album (Athens has all but the two yet to be played). Feel free to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com for any help getting those downloaded.
I absolutly love perpetual groove they give that level of excitement i havent felt in so long about a band i cant get enough see you at All Good !!! great album guys !!!!!!!!!
seen many x's just picked up disc...they destroyed the culture room to close out langerado, the place was insanity! something else.
what a great article about a wonderful band. This band takes me places!
they rocks's
One thing I took from my interview with the band last year was that they've worked really hard to get where they are, and it hasn't soured their love for the jam. Playing 200 nights a year ain't easy.Great piece, great band.Scotty Greene
These guys showed their love for jamming during the Variety Playhouse run. Everything got extended a few extra minutes with plenty of interplay between lights and musician. Great pair of shows!
I knew you could do this Brian. Had such a great time with you and the HeadCount crew at CBV last year. Keep on supporting the things that make us all smile. Much respect.Patrick
after 5 shows.. I finally "heard the inner ping" I wish it didnt take so long, but chattanooga tn rarely gets any firey shows. so now I really like Pgroove. I do think they need to do some more writing. I think they could stand to have some more tunes. Writing is hard and takes time, I realize it will come eventually and I will be waiting for it. peas.....
Great Article!P-Groove is a well thought, fun loving, tightly knit band. Go See 'Em Live!
livelovedie now playing here. tune in and spread the news!2 nites pgroove at the music farm coming up...whoooppppeeee!!!
Pgroove is whats up man saw em at the farm in charleston last time they headed there and it was sick, ive yet to see this band dissapoint a crowd

BMW believes it has created the 911 of SUVs with its pioneering X5.
Why? Well, just like the most famous sportscar in the world, BMW believes it nailed the formula first time around that it has only required evolutionary - rather than revolutionary - updates.
Next-generation BMW X5
BMW X5 30d.
You certainly get that feeling with the latest third generation model launched in Canada this week ahead of its local arrival in December.
While there is a suite of major changes - both visually and mechanically - there is also a solid sense of familiarity about the new X5. And for loyal owners that is not such a bad thing, because, quite simply, there wasn't much wrong with its predecessor - which is evident by the fact that BMW has seen sales continue to grow year on year throughout its entire lifecycle.
From a design perspective, it will take a trainspotter - or having both the old and new cars side by side - to notice the level of detail in the changes. But rest assured, every panel is new and it looks both tauter and classier in its appearance in the metal.
The same applies to the cabin, which has a clear family resemblance to the mainstream sedans such as the latest 3-Series, 5-Series and 7-Series models. There is a classy mix of materials, clear instrumentation, great all-round vision and plenty of adjustment in the seating position for a wide range of drivers.
The centre console is now dominated by a 10.2-inch widescreen multimedia screen which is controlled by a new generation iDrive control system that features a touch pad on top of the rotary dial, which takes a bit of time to acclimatise to but works a treat once you are used to its idiosyncrasies.
As you'd expect, there's ample room in the back seat for adults to travel in comfort and a generous 650-litre boot that extends to 1870L with the 40:20:40 split rear seat folded down.
Not matter how many people it's carrying though, the X5 offers more than adequate levels of performance, luxury and flexibility in the way it drives.
We only got to sample the range-topping petrol V8 (dubbed X5 50i) and the mid-spec turbo diesel (X5 30d) on the launch north of Vancouver, but, by the time it arrives in Australia, they will be joined by the M50d with its monstrous 700Nm triple turbo diesel six-cylinder and a rear-wheel drive model with a 2.0-litre turbo four (called the X5 sDrive 25i) will become the price leader when it joins the range in the middle of next year.
Not surprisingly, the 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, which produces more both power and torque - up 30kW and 50Nm to 330kW/650Nm - and yet uses less fuel, is the sweetest of the two engines. It feels effortlessly powerful and ultra smooth in its delivery and is matched perfectly to the seamless eight-speed automatic gearbox for relaxed cruising.
Flick it into Sport mode and its character rises from effortless to energetic and it makes light work of overtaking or a quick blast up a back country road.
There's also enough aural presence emanating from its twin tailpipes to please the driver, and alert other motorists of its potential performance.
The diesel is hardly a slouch either; with 190kW and 560Nm on tap it feels nearly as rapid as the V8 and just as effortless, but doesn't have the same level of smoothness, nor does it sound as sweet.
Underneath the X5, it now rides on a mixed suspension set up with conventional steel springs up front and air-filled dampers at the back linked to an adaptable system with comfort and sports settings. In the former, both variants of the X5 we drove displayed exceptional levels of ride comfort even on 20-inch alloys, although it must be noted that the roads were typically smooth for an Alpine region and we'll have to reserve final judgement of how it will tackle Australia's patchwork of roads when it arrives.
Similarly, in Sport mode both handled the twisty mountain passes with such sure-footedness that they easily masked their two-tonne kerb weight.
If there's any area for improvement it's the car's steering feel; in both comfort and sport modes, the electric assistance doesn't return to centre as naturally as a traditional hydraulic system, but otherwise feels light around town for such a big car.
But, overall, the new X5 displays incremental improvements in every conceivable area - luxury, performance and efficiency - that is a clear case of if ain't broke, don't mess with it.

BMW, Mercedes and Audi have diluted their brand so much with so many models including a number of bland SUV's it seems like they are going thru the motions here..
The cache of owning a BMW (or Merc or Audi) died in the early 2000's IMO. If I didn't need 7 seats but wanted a luxury SUV , I could buy the much sexier Infiniti FX30d for early $60K mark as a demo and I'd have something unique and different too boot, without sacrificing quality or luxury.
X5's (and X1's and X3's and ML's) are a dime a dozen in school yard parking lots. These mums' taxis are a waste of money IMO. given their intended purpose.
I'd much sooner put my wife in a Honda Odyssey Luxury, if I wanted family space in a flash package, I could save $50,000 -$70,000 for a nice 370Z ;-)

I want to see it in the metal to be convinced of the looks. I would love to see what the new X5 based X6 will look like.....M50d X5 or X6 is on my shopping list, 3 turbos and huge power and torque all in an economical diesel, you see, I am an environmentalist at heart.

2013 NFL Preseason: 10 Players Who Must Shine In Week 2
2013 NFL Preseason: 10 Players Who Must Shine In Week 2
Week 2 of the NFL preseason is upon us. While most of the preseason is spent watching backups look better than they really are, Week 2 is one of the weeks where starters see some real action.
And that means this is the first week that players battling for their jobs really need to step it up. If someone has a bad Week 1, they can come back this week and regain what they lost, but if they don't impress this week, they could find themselves buried on the depth chart for the rest of the season.
Week 2 is also the time when players separate themselves from their competition, especially for quarterbacks. Teams that have open quarterback competitions want to pick their starter before the third week of preseason, because that's the week they want to use as a dress rehearsal for the games that count.
This is the week that starting jobs are won or lost on the field. And not just for quarterbacks either. There are rookie running backs struggling to find their way and defensive players who need to hold off hard-charging rookies looking to take their jobs.
The preseason can be equal parts exciting and excruciating for NFL fans. We've been so starved for football all offseason that anything involving football on the actual field gets us excited, but knowing we're so close to the real thing can be excruciating.
So, one way to get through these practice games while we wait for the regular season to start is to focus on the players who need to step it up this week.
These are 10 players who need to have big games in the second week of preseason action.
Ben Sullivan is an NFL writer for RantSports.com. Follow him on Twitter @bensullivan52, "Like" him on Facebook and add him to your network on Google.
10. Michael Vick
Michael Vick came into training camp ready for a battle to regain his starting job for the Philadelphia Eagles. With new head coach Chip Kelly and his innovative offense now in town, Vick needs to prove he's the man going forward for the Eagles.
He did a lot last week against the New England Patriots to do just that. Vick was 4-of-5 in the passing game, including a 47-yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson against the New England first team secondary.
Vick has the edge over Nick Foles right now because of his experience, but he still needs to continue proving he's the man for Kelly this year.
9. Montee Ball
When the Denver Broncos took Montee Ball in the second round of this year's draft, then almost immediately released veteran back Willis McGahee, all signs pointed to Ball starting the season as the No. 1 back.
But as training camp opened, the team announced that second-year man Ronnie Hillman was the starter. It seemed like posturing at the time and just a way of keeping the talented rookie motivated, but after Ball's performance in the preseason opener for Denver, maybe it's for real.
Ball rushed for just nine yards on five carries against the San Francisco 49ers, while Hillman racked up the same nine yards on just three carries. Neither back looked great, but if Ball doesn't have a big preseason Week 2, he may be out of the running for the top spot in Denver before he knows it.
8. Jabaal Sheard
Recently converted pass-rushing outside linebacker Jabaal Sheard finds himself adjusting to a new position and battling for his starting job all at the same time.
When the Cleveland Browns took Barkevious Mingo out of LSU with the sixth overall pick this year, they were expecting him to push for playing time right away.
And he's done just that. Mingo, who is also transitioning to a pass-rushing outside linebacker in the Browns' 3-4 system, has been impressive in camp and will be hard to keep off the field when the games count.
This position for the Browns might end up being a time share for most of the season, but if Sheard wants to keep Mingo on the sidelines for long, he needs a big showing this week when the Browns face off against the Detroit Lions.
7. Brandon Weeden
Despite a good performance in the Browns' first preseason game, quarterback Brandon Weeden still has not been named the starter in Cleveland yet.
The strong-armed quarterback struggled at times last year as a rookie and is in a battle for his job against journeyman signal caller Jason Campbell.
Weeden may not be a franchise quarterback, but a big game against the Lions should solidify him against the constantly underwhelming Campbell.
6. Blaine Gabbert
The Blaine Gabbert era for the Jacksonville Jaguars may finally be coming to an end. The former first-round pick hasn't played well in his two years in the league, and will likely lose his starting job to veteran Chad Henne this summer.
If Gabbert wants any chance to start Week 1 for the Jaguars, he needs to play so well this week that they can't justify trotting out the perfectly-average Henne all year.
5. Mark Sanchez
No New York Jets fan out there wants to see Mark Sanchez start this year for their team, and I can't blame them.
Sanchez has regressed the last two years since taking his team to the AFC Championship game his first two seasons. Well, more accurately, it could be said that he just didn't hold his team back those first two years.
The Jets and their fans want to see rookie Geno Smith separate himself from Sanchez this summer, but that seems unlikely after an abysmal performance in the team's first preseason game against the Lions.
With Smith struggling on the field and battling injuries off it, Sanchez can save his job with a big game this week.
4. Johnathan Franklin
Many were surprised when the Green Bay Packers took running back Johnathan Franklin in the fourth round of this year's draft, just two rounds after they took Eddie Lacy out of the University of Alabama.
Franklin was a sleeper this spring to earn the starting job, but Lacy has looked good in camp despite battling hamstring injuries, and James Starks has rejuvenated his career now that the team brought in the new competition for carries.
The Packers have been lacking a running game since Starks broke out during their 2010 Super Bowl run. Lacy is likely to share carries with Starks when the regular season starts, relegating Franklin to a role as third-down back at best unless he can impress this week and put his name back in the conversation.
3. Ryan Mallett
With Tom Brady possibly sitting out when the Patriots face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the start would go to current second-string quarterback Ryan Mallett.
Despite all the talent at his disposal, Mallett has been underwhelming in the preseason action we've seen from him the last couple of years.
This could be his opportunity to separate himself from Tim Tebow, who just might be the best option at backup quarterback for the Patriots.
2. Nick Foles
The Eagles' quarterback slot has been one of the most interesting position battles heading into training camp. So far, neither second-year man Nick Foles or veteran Michael Vick have separated themselves from the other.
Both played well in their first preseason game against the Patriots. Foles was accurate, completing five of six passes, but did not throw a touchdown like Vick did.
All signs point to Vick getting the nod if neither player steps up and takes the job. Foles will need a big performance this week if he wants to stay in the hunt for the No. 1 spot on the depth chart.
1. Geno Smith
Rookie Geno Smith was considered by many to be in the lead for the starting quarterback job for the Jets just a short time ago. But that was before he came out in his first preseason game and played so poorly that he might already have lost any chance at being the Week 1 starter.
Smith, despite being hampered by an ankle injury he suffered in that first preseason action, needs to come out in his second game and prolong the decision to keep him in the running for the starting job.

This summer we're taking our first trip to Cedar Point in July. Our trip will also include the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Hershey Park. Anybody have suggestions for other things to do?
This summer we're taking our first trip to Cedar Point in July. Our trip will also include the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Hershey Park. Anybody have suggestions for other things to do?
If you will be at Hershey I would seriously suggest making the trek out to Knoebels. It's a small family park but it's absolutely awesome. And it has the best wooden coaster EVER!!!!
Other than parks I don't have any ideas for other things in the area.
I say have fun
One big thing to do: Remember where you parked your car.
I went to Cedar Point about 2 days after I got my car back in 2000. The car's only 2 days old, so guess what I did -- lost it for an hour. We were going up and down that big lot hunting it down, finally found it after an hour. Oy.
On the historical side, you'll be near Lancaster County, PA. That's the heart of Amish country and there a bevy of museums and such. Yeah, there's a cheap-o "Dutch Wonderland," but there's also shopping and food, which is interesting enough. My paternal side of the family is also Lancaster and York.
Gettysburg! Being a history buff, I always tell people to invest some time in this quaint little town. Read up on it before you go--maybe watch a movie or two with the tykes--and then take the bus tour or the ghost tour. I found it to be very interesting. There's a huge 'cyclorama' painting of the third day of battle and an 'electric' map that are kinda neat to see--and a graveyard where President Lincoln once stood to give his famous 'address.'
Check it out and report back!

I second the Gettysburg visit... I love that town.
Be sure to check out some of the period restraunts while there... some have REALLY good food. Unfortunately, can't remember the names of them right now.
I've always wanted to go to Jungle Jim's International Market in Fairfield, OH. While a little bit out of the way, they have animated breakfast cereal characters, one of the largest selections of honey, and other cool "attractions" in their store.
Yes, it's strange and tacky, but it might be a fun side trip...
Hmm... I've never heard of this. I must go now!!! It should be a good trip to do on the weekend.
Don't they have a popular theme park over there or something?Originally Posted by DifrntDrmr
hahah Cedar Point is in the middle of nowhere, There are some Wineries near Sandusky if that's something you'd like to do for a day I guess. They're on Catawba Island. And there's Put-in-Bay, it's an Island that has a lot of shopping and vacation stuff in Golf Carts during the day, and a lot of bars at night.
"Tonight I wash my hands of you
You set the bar I could not live up to
Tonight the light is breaking through
So thank you very little and send me postcards from hell"
Nearby Cedar Point, there's Geagua Lake if you want to experience another park.... it's also owned by Cedar Fair.
and it's cheap!
"Tonight I wash my hands of you
You set the bar I could not live up to
Tonight the light is breaking through
So thank you very little and send me postcards from hell"
Well I live 3 min from Hersheypark. While our area may be kind of boring but trips to either Lancaster or Gettysburg. I would most definetly second Knoebels. It is a amusment park that is totaly old style. The have great old rides ,super new rides one of the best haunted houses in the country. They even have a carousel where the riders can grab for a brass ring for a free ride on it again just like they used to. They even have coal mine museum on the premises (I know it may not sound cool but it is neat to see). Also you could try Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom. Some like it others don't it has several fantastic coasters. But the park is built on very hilly terrain and can be tiring. The water park is fun but can be very crowed on very hot days (they get lots of New Yorkers down there). If there are smaller kids going they will love Camp Snoopy. If you really want any other ideas hit me up online sometime. By the way have been to Cedar Point 3 times it is a super park too. On the way from Ohio to Pa I would swing by Kennywood This park is the tops. It has the best of old and new rides. This park is really fun and has a ton of things to do. Enjoy no matter what you do. Here are there web sites maybe they can help.Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom , Knoebels Home Page , Welcome to Kennywood , Hershey Pa The Sweetest Place On EarthOriginally Posted by DifrntDrmr
I'll second Kennywood as a great coaster park. That "rabbit"(?) one is downright scary, with only a lap belt holding you in.
And there's a racing coaster that have the trains close enough that you can high-five the riders in the other train (going the same way but slightly faster, not going opposite ways and break your arm).
Thanks for the great suggestions.
We're doing this vacation in shifts, so the flights are going to get complicated. My daughter will fly out first to spend some alone time with her Grandparents. Then my wife and son will join them and probably go to the Jersey Shore. I'll fly out a couple of days later and we'll visit some friends and family in New York. We also have tickets to see Tarzan on Broadway. Tuesday we leave for Hershey Park. My wife flies out on Sunday. We haven't figured out which airport yet. The next Sunday I'll fly out with my daughter, probably from Cleveland, leaving my son to get his turn with my parents. Have I lost everybody yet?

Trey Leisure mows last season at River's Edge Golf Club. The golf club was included among 3,000 acres in Ross County and 1,000 acres in Pike County that has been purchased by a large Indiana agricultural company.
- Filed Under
An Indiana agriculture firm has purchased more than 4,000 acres of farmland along the Scioto River in Ross and Pickaway counties in a deal estimated at $40 million.
Beck's Superior Hybrids, located just north of Indianapolis, made the deal for 3,000 acres in Ross and 1,000 acres in Pickaway with Les Imboden, a Pickaway County farmer who bought the former Running Fox Golf Course on Sunset Drive almost a year ago for $775,000 and changed its name to River's Edge. The golf course land is part of the present sale.
Beck's website describes itself as being the largest family-owned retail seed company ...

FORT WORTH, TX - NOVEMBER 06: Clint Bowyer, driver of the #33 Cheerios/Hamburger Helper Chevrolet, stands on pit road after qualifying for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on November 6, 2009 in Fort Worth, Texas. (Photo by Robert Laberge/Getty Images for NASCAR)
FORT WORTH, Texas While five time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson spent his Sprint Cup Chase promotional time in the bright lights and big city of New York, Clint Bowyer was perfectly content to spend his at Texas Motor Speedway. It's the kind of under-the-radar approach that Bowyer and his Michael Waltrip Racing teammate Martin Truex Jr. have used all year. It's also an approach that has helped net the two MWR teammates the organization's first-ever spots in the Chase. If Bowyer, who enters the Chase as the No. 6 seed, keeps rolling like he is now, there's no chance the No. 15 5-hour Energy Toyota will sneak up on anyone. "It's a bonus for us," Bowyer said. "I don't have to go to New York, like Jimmie Johnson does, and explain to the whole world how he's going to get back on top on top of the world and win his sixth championship. All I have to do is win my first." It's not out of the realm of possibility that it happens for Bowyer this year. Bowyer, who was at TMS Tue...
