Red Riding Trilogy (US - BD RA)
Gabe traverses this tense thematic trilogy from three talented thespians...
Originally made for British television, Red Riding is a trilogy of feature length films from three different directors based on David Peace's novel series (of which there are four, apparently). In the first part, In the Year of Our Lord: 1974, a young Yorkshire Post reporter named Eddie Dunford (Andrew Garfield) investigates a series of child abductions. In the process he falls in love with a victim's mother (Rebecca Hall), and uncovers a vast conspiracy of corruption in the Yorkshire police department that reaches all the way to local businessman John Dawson (Sean Bean), who has plans to build a modern indoor shopping mall. In the second part, In the Year of Our Lord: 1980, police investigator Peter Hunter (Paddy Considine) is brought to Yorkshire to assist with the now world famous Yorkshire Ripper case. His investigation leads him back to his past investigating the fallout of the Eddie Dunford case, and aligns him with the same corrupt and brutal police department. In the third part, In the Year of Our Lord: 1983, officer Maurice Jobson (David Morrissey) develops guilt over his department's actions, and starts his own investigation into the missing children case, which the department forced an innocent man to confess to. Meanwhile, disgraced public solicitor John Piggott (Mark Addy) also begins delving into Yorkshire and John Dawson's past.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the series is the manner these directors choose to capture their given time periods. In the Year of Our Lord 1974 is the most literal, and looks like the post-New Wave American release, creating a pseudo-documentary look made up of what often appears to be stolen shots. Characters are often framed just out of shot, or their interaction take them out of frame altogether, and the camera is either entirely lopped off, or naturally handheld. The editing style is just as era-appropriate, skipping over any unnecessary moments in a somewhat jarring manner. Even the more meditative establishing shots are relatively brief. This deliberately visceral style is then nicely juxtaposed with a sort of dreamy storytelling style. As the movie proceeds it slowly becomes more expressionistic, and director Julian Jarrold (Kinky Boots) begins to embrace more abstract cutting habits, more extreme close-ups, and more aggressive sound design. Interestingly some of the strongest elements walk hand in hand with the most troubling. 1974 is, like David Fincher's woefully overlooked Zodiac, more about the journey than the destination (Eddie Dunford is a bit of a composite version of some of Fincher's Zodiac leads as well). Discovering the killer is secondary to the events that surround the search, and the ways which the search changes the characters. Unfortunately Jarrold focuses a little too hard on Eddie's angst and love life for my taste, and pulls away a bit too much from the straight line plot, which is plenty compelling. 1974 opens average, grows weak, but finishes very strong, and reverberates through the other films in the series.
Like 1974, 1980 starts a little rough and slow, but finishes strong, and is at its best when dealing with the crime and corruption. The character drama here ends up feeling like an unrelated side trip away from the narrative, one set in place simply to justify the scope of the story, which I'm sure works well in book form. The persistent question becomes that of standalone parts vs. the greater whole. Are we meant to judge these on an episodic basis, or as one big movie? There are many overlapping elements, most of which won't make sense without the other pieces, but most of these pieces aren't integral to each episode beyond reference and theme. The overlapping elements connect the stories, but don't quite intertwine them, and occasionally feel like afterthoughts, especially the sexual relationships between the lead males and supporting females. If the story were to be dissolved into a single 2.5/3 hour film (there's talk), the majority of 1980 would be the easiest to cut. The Yorkshire Ripper never really plays into the overlapping story, and the Peter Hunter character has a very small impact on the other characters, unlike Eddie Dunford, who has a bearing on all three films. On the other hand, outside of some of the climatic realizations, 1980 could work as a stand-alone murder mystery.
In the Year of Our Lord 1983 is at times both the strongest and the weakest of the three films, mostly because it has both the advantage and disadvantage of featuring most of the thematic closure. The visuals play a bigger role than the story or characters this time around, and once again I'm reminded of David Fincher, though director Anand Tucker seems to have been more inspired by Panic Room, skipping over the intricate production designs of Zodiac for a generally clean look. The whole thing has a floating, dreamlike quality that pleasantly opposes 1974's static, nightmare quality. There's no denying that Tucker has a sharp eye, but he's working from the one script that stands alone least effectively. Once again the new lead character is a bit unnecessary, and though admirably performed, slows the closure more than I'd prefer. To the same token the Maurice Jobson character loses something here, especially when the other two films are taken into account. There's an implied revelation to his guilt-ridden nature, but instead of tragic the character comes across as a bit of an idiot for not putting two and two together, and/or protesting the corruption earlier. Solving the second problem could've actually solved the second problem as well.
Each part of the film was shot using different stocks and cameras, so there is a clear difference both in terms of stylistic choices and final product in 1080p HD. In the Year of Our Lord 1974 is shot using 16mm film and cameras (1.85:1), and the frame is kept purposefully and consistently dirty. Colours are solid, mostly defined by '70s-specific browns and auburns. Grain is plenty heavy, and often increased by low lighting levels, thick cigarette smoke, and soupy fog. This grain is natural occurring, and doesn't appear to include any compression noise or artefacts. Details are only as strong as the format allows, so the wide-angle shots don't feature a lot of background intricacies, but close-ups are reasonably lifelike. Sharpness also depends greatly on lighting, so overall I'd call it generally soft.
In the Year of Our Lord 1980 is shot on 35mm film (2.35:1), and is generally a cleaner, more modern presentation. This transfer is comparatively very impressive, but does have some problems, most obvious of all being its weak black levels, which stick out pretty well considering all the night photography and monochromatic costume designs. The edges of the frame are lighter than the center, which increases the graying quality. This may have been a stylistic choice, but does not appear as such. Colours are limited by design, but despite the lack of solid black support are pretty natural, and clean, outside of some pretty heavy grain. Details are plenty sharp, and busy background elements show little sign of compression or softness unrelated to focus. The grain is a little excessive at points, all things considered, but I didn't notice any obvious blocking or haloes.
In the Year of Our Lord 1983 is shot using the new, and magical digital Red One cameras, and it looks positively stunning. Stylistically Anand Tucker usually aims for a blown-out look. Harsh white light creates high contrast shapes, and stretches vertically across the frame in the form of glare (almost as if Tucker wants to outdo J.J. Abrams' Star Trek for sheer quantity of lens artefacts on screen). The edges here are incredibly sharp, the image is almost entirely free of grain, and all the cleanliness leads to intricate details, and textural elements. The colour palette is largely desaturated, creating a semi-sepia toned look (that occasionally dives into full-on sepia), highlighted by occasional poppy red elements, lush greens, and supported by deep, solid blacks.
All three films are presented in standard Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, and though they share some thematic sound elements, the finally effects are sizably different. 1974 is a pretty quiet film overall, with very few stereo or surround elements (in-keeping with the mono mixes of the early '70s). Occasionally cars move directionally through frame, or the ambient noise of an office will tickle the outer channels, but mostly the center channel rules the roost, and the sound is captured on set. The volume levels are inconsistent, as is vocal clarity, likely because of some kind of directorial choice to avoid ADR. The slightly compressed nature of the track certainly doesn't help, and neither do the many and varied accents (but that's really my problem). Score is equally subtle, and generally repetitive, but the occasional bits of period music blast pretty heartily, and with enough LFE bump.
1980 is immediately presented as louder, warmer, and generally aurally sharper. Despite a generally similar audio design to 1974 (ie: dialogue being key) the stereo and surround channels are regularly worked into the mix, directional effects play a bigger role. The dialogue here is regularly clear, and overall volume levels are consistent enough I wasn't forced to mess around with the volume. 1980 doesn't feature the same big period music entries, but the score is more effective and eclectic, with the same LFE support. But then around the one hour point the centered dialogue suddenly bleeds into the stereo channels, and creates an echo effect. It's annoying, and it's really distracting. The stereo and surround design elements, and music are not effected, but all the centered dialogue and set-captured effects (shuffling papers, dialing phones) don't sound right for the rest of the film.
1983, being the modernly produced of the three films, is also the best overall from an aural standpoint. Still, the majority of the audio design is centered, and the stereo and surround channels mostly act in a supportive rather than directional manner. The sound is generally more natural here, and the ambiance works beautifully to create the appropriate mood (bird calls and wind especially). The center channel stuff stays center this time around, the vocal performances are crisper, and the more startling effects feature more evocative LFE support. Music plays the smallest role in this part, but there are a few moments where pop music works its way subtly into the outer channels, changing position and sound quality as the story cuts to different locations.
All the set's extra features are delegated to a second, standard DVD disc. These are divided by film, and begin with a series of interviews and Making-Ofs. These begin with an interview with Julian Jarrold (11:30), which covers his early involvement, his interest in '70s American crime films, characters, production design and photography, and his thoughts on the production as a whole. 'The Making-Of 1980' (18:50) is a rough mixture of raw behind the scenes material, and brief, on-the-spot, confessional-like interviews with some of the cast and crew, including actor Paddy Considine, director James Marsh, and writer Tony Grisoni. 'The Making-Of 1983' (6:40) is similar, also featuring rough set footage, and cast and crew interviews, this time including production designer Alison Dominitz, make-up designer Tahira Herold, and actor Mark Haddy. The featurettes are wrapped up with a made for IFC featurette/EPK (3:00), which is crawling with spoilers.
Next up are deleted scenes for each film. 1974 features three scenes (7:10), 1980 features six scenes (6:50), and 1983 features nine scenes (8:10), all presented in non-anamorphic video. Things are wrapped up with a TV spot for each part, and a trilogy TV spot and trailer (which push the Yorkshire Ripper aspects).
It dawns on me now that Red Riding Trilogy is a lot like Hot Fuzz, only generally depressing, and with a conspiracy of players working towards a mall development instead of away from it. It would certainly be one hell of a double/quadruple feature. So far as final thoughts on the films themselves, I was somewhat disappointed following the hype, but there's no mistaking the good qualities of all three parts, and the greater whole (the greater whole). Against my usual judgment I'd say adaptation would work better as a shorter single film, but respect the experiment too much to suggest readers wait on a possible US theatrical version (remember, Traffic actually turned out very good). The three parts utilize different means of filming, so the video quality changes dramatically between them. The Dolby Digital 5.1 audio is good enough, except the end of the second film, which stretches the center channel across the stereo channels with no warning or reason. Extras are brief, but feature some decent interviews.

DISCUSSION -- Based on quotes from Linda Price
Indicating the shoulder of the girl on the left in The Simons Children,
Alzofon used an outline with an inward notch to pop the arm out from the chair
and give it volume. 'I don't hide the fact that this is a line,' she says, noting that she
learned this technique from looking at paintings by Rubens.
I think contemporary representational painters don't make enough use of line. Line can very effectively summarize visual ideas. Line is a significant element of art, and it is completely acceptable to integrate it with fields of color in the painting process. If you would like to see one of my note pages about Rubens' line -- not to mention color, visit this museum note (the arrows point to lines in the painting). This is just a sketch, but for me, jotting down notes like this reinforces the live experience of viewing good painting, and deepens my memory of important findings.
The "inward notches" are the tips of line that you see traveling briefly into the interior of the arm/armpit. Each inward deviation you see, no matter how small, represents a wrap around a sub-form seen at the boundary of the arm's edge. Careful attention to every and all of these sub-forms contributes to the believability of form representation.

Delhi, food, gourmet food, himachal pradesh, internet, kochi, Madhya Pradesh, Mumbai, Nagaland, online
- A Foodesto gourmet crate.
Not satisfied with the seafood in your city? Are you in the mood for freshly-roasted coffee with cranberry biscuits but don't have a clue where to start?
An increasing number of online stores are delivering gourmet food around the country to cater to discriminating palates in places where such items are not easily available.
Take Delhi-based Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters, started by Namrata Asthana and Matt Chitharanjan, which delivers freshly roasted coffee beans sourced from plantations in Karnataka. They started the company this month after realizing, they said, that it was hard find a good cup of coffee in the capital.
"Coffee shops use coffee that has been sitting on the shelves for months" and the packaged coffee available in supermarkets isn't fresh, claimed Ms. Asthana. The next step they anticipate is selling coffee-brewing equipment and selling wholesale to restaurants and cafes. (For details, see the index at the end of this post.)
- Namrata Asthana
- Blue Tokai Coffee packets.
As with any market, it's all about filling a perceived unmet need. That's what Tarun Khanna (yes that is his real name as well as sounding like Hindi for food) sought to do when he established Foodesto.com in August. He and two friends realized that "consumers for unique brands, like Fabindia, Indigo or Moshe's" – the clothes and housewares store and two well-known Mumbai restaurants — are growing. At the same time, more people are open to shopping online. They decided put these brands together on one site for consumers – much like an online supermarket.
Another website, Gourmet Company, sells gourmet food from brands around the world. It recently added kitchenware to its inventory of goods. The company began with two people – Neerja Mittersain and her mother – taking orders for gourmet food baskets.
A big advantage for these companies has been that social media websites such as Twitter and Facebook, which have helped them save money on advertising and marketing. They have built their clientele through these sites and through word of mouth, proprietors say.
The reach of these online companies is expanding.
Blue Tokai has received orders from Bikaner in Rajasthan, Palampur in Himachal Pradesh, and Pithampur in Madhya Pradesh; Foodesto from Nasik in Maharashtra and Gourmet Company from Dimapur in the northeastern state of Nagaland.
But many online stores find delivery a challenge.
- seatohome.com
- A Black Pomfret from seatohome.com.
Kochi-based Seatohome.com depends on flights to deliver fishes and if a flight is delayed or cancelled, the supply is affected, says Priya Solomon, director. And packing the fish in ice and cool boxes to survive the journey adds to the cost.
Ms. Solomon and her brother-in-law, Matthew Joseph, started seatohome.com last year to deliver chemical-free fish collected from small trawlers or boats. They already had a business exporting seafood to countries such as Singapore, Taiwan, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and decided to set up a company for delivering only to homes in India.
Another challenge for these companies is convincing consumers of the advantages of paying a higher price for fresh food.
Ms. Solomon of seatohome.com says even if people understand that their fish is fresh and organic, "they don't want to pay that extra buck" for it. For instance, the minimum order amount for Delhi is 1,000 rupees ( around $18) and for Bangalore 500 rupees ($9.)
The founders of Blue Tokai say the toughest thing is convincing coffee drinkers why they should buy freshly roasted coffee. If you were ordering 250 grams of Attikan estate Arabica coffee that come from the Bilgiri Hills in Karnataka, roasted after ordering, it would cost 350 rupees ($6.)
- Gourmet Company
- A Sushi making kit from Gourmet Company.
Then there is how to pay.
"Many people don't complete the purchase after reaching the check-out page," says Mr. Chitharanjan of Blue Tokai. The reason for this, he says, is the many steps to complete payment. Though these steps are necessary for credit card security, consumers find it tedious.
Other companies have a "cash on delivery" system.
But many consumers are not satisfied with that, either. Ms. Solomon of seatohome.com says their customers want them to start online payments because they find them more convenient.
A sampling of online food retailers:
Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters: freshly roasted coffee delivered all over India.
Foodesto.com: online food market. Packaged food delivered all over India. Cheese, meat and vegetables delivered only in Mumbai.
Gourmet Company: global gourmet brands delivered all over India.
Seatohome.com: fresh fish and seafood delivery in Delhi, Bangalore, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.
Pescafresh: fresh fish and seafood delivery in Mumbai.
Farm 2 Kitchen: organic-food delivery in 262 cities in India.

This Week in Missouri Valley Conference Football
Just one unbeaten team remains in the Missouri Valley Conference after a month of play, and North Dakota State looks poised to stay perfect as they travel to Indiana State, who is one of two teams (Northern Iowa) still looking for a league win in 2013.
South Dakota is just a game off the lead at 3-1, South Dakota State has dropped three of four in MVC play.
Here's what to watch for Saturday (Sports Network Rankings/FCS Coaches Ranking):
South Dakota (4-3/3-1) at Illinois State (3-4/2-2) - 1:00pm
The Coyotes are on a roll with three straight wins in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Quarterback Kevin Earl is the conference's offensive player of the week after passing for a career high 370 yards at Northern Iowa. Wide receiver Riley Donovan is the Missouri Valley newcomer of the week after nine catches for 178 yards.
Defensively, the Coyotes have the top pass defense in the league, allowing just 112 yards per game, with seven interceptions so far.
The Redbirds scored early and often in a 55-14 win over Indiana State last weekend. Running back Marshaun Coprich with his third straight 100 yard game.
Illinois State is tops in the Missouri Valley this season on kickoff return average (28 yards per return).
Head coach Brock Spack on South Dakota:
#17/#18 Northern Iowa (4-3/0-3) at #25/#24 South Dakota State (4-4/1-3) - 2:00pm
One of the most surprising games of the season has two teams in the Top 16 pre-season a combined 1-6 in league play so far.
Northern Iowa has won 6 of 7 against the Jacks.
SDSU running back Zach Zenner is over 1,000 yards for the third straight year, while wide receiver Jason Schneider us leading the Missouri Valley with 78 receiving yards per game.
The Jacks are looking for a much better start than last week's game at Missouri State.
The Panthers have dropped three straight, including the last two in overtime.
UNI has the top all-purpose player in the league in running back David Johnson, and the #1 receiver in Chad Owens, with an average of 5 catches a game.
Head coach Mark Farley on the Jackrabbits:
#1/#1 North Dakota State (7-0/4-0) at Indiana State (1-6/0-3) - 2:00pm
These are two teams that have gone in totally opposite directions since the Sycamores handed the Bison their only loss last season.
North Dakota State has won 16 straight since that game, the top active winning streak in FCS.
The Bison are #1 in the nation in total defense and scoring defense, and lead the Missouri Valley with 13 sacks.
Head coach Craig Bohl on Indiana State:
Since beating the Bison in Fargo last October, the Sycamores have won just 3 of their next 11 games, including a current four-game losing streak.
This week it was announced that the active career rushing leader in the Missouri Valley, Shakir Bell, was no longer with the team for unspecified reasons.
The Sycamores are last in the league in scoring offense (17 points per game) and last in points allowed on defense (36 points per game).
Head coach Mike Sanford on North Dakota State:
Missouri State (2-6/2-2) at Western Illinois (3-5/1-3) - 6:00pm
The Bears hope to get injured quarterback Kierra Harris back this week. He threw for 3 touchdowns in Missouri State's 42-3 win over the Leathernecks last season. Overall, the Bears have won the last four in the series.
Missouri State's Caleb Schaffitzel is the Missouri Valley defensive player of the week after 14 tackles and a key fourth quarter interception against South Dakota State last week.
Head coach Terry Allen on Western Illinois:
Despite being losing their last three, the Leathernecks are in the Top 20 in the nation in total defense (325 yards per game) and are one of just three teams in FCS (Arkansas - Pine Bluff, Southern Utah) with just one fumble lost this season.
Offensively, Running back J.C. Baker has 5 100-yard rushing performances this season.
Head coach Bob Nielson on Missouri State:
Southern Illinois (4-4/2-2) and Youngstown State (7-1/4-0) both have the weekend off.

Family-friendly animes
I have 3 younger brothers and my mama (who is against letting us watch anime that involves: violence, nudity, and swear words). I tried to convince her to watch Inuyasha with us, but she thinks it is too mature for us. She loves Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon, Yumeiro Patissier, and any movies made by Studio Ghibli.
Can anyone recommend any anime that is family-friendly?
BTW: Thanks for the replies!

But family-friendly, huh? Man, that's difficult. Most series in this category simply sucks balls. But, let's see... off the top of my head? How about some Hamtaro?

Try Fruits Basket (erm, maybe you wanna skip the last episode since it's dark and not very family friendly) but the rest of the episodes are touching.
Perhaps Itazura na Kiss, Ouran, Clannad and Kanon.
Or if you want to be ABSOLUTELY safe, watch Sazae-san and Chibi Maruko.

Dennou Coil was my first choice as well, but outside of Australia there is no legally available version with English subtitles or dubbing. If your mom is as concerned about the legality of the material you are watching as she is about the content, you may be out of luck. Otherwise, here is the beautiful Ureshii torrent that was released while the show aired.
Another show that your mother will surely appreciate is Chi's Sweet Home, a lovely, cute and funny show about a lost kitten who is adopted by a Japanese family. The first season is on YouTube; the second season is streamed by Crunchyroll. Each of the 104 episodes in each season is just three minutes long.
Next I'll suggest Cross Game, a show about "life, love, death and baseball" to quote one of our other members. It's streamed by VIZ on Hulu. This show won our top award in 2010. Other excellent shows in the sports and games genre include Hikaru no Go, about a boy who aspires to become a professional Go player, and Chihayafuru about a girl who plays an obscure Japanese card game called karuta.
Finally, I'll suggest the two adaptations of anthropologist Uehashi Nahoko's novels, Seirei no Moribito and Kemono no Sou-ja Erin. A good Western equivalent of these stories in terms of content and age level is the early installments of the Harry Potter series. Moribito is available on DVD with English dubbing or streamed with English subs at Crunchyroll. Erin is available only at Crunchy or in fansubs.

You should also take a look at this thread on ANN: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/...ic.php?t=25171
Unfortunately a number of the best shows are only available with subtitles. This might work for the 10 and 12 year olds, but the four-year-old may be out of luck. Chi uses a simple vocabulary and may be within his reading levels. The other shows are pretty much limited to you and your older brothers.

You might try the sport genre.
Cross Game should go over well with her. Mother's tend to love Adachi stories. (Touch is the other big Adachi anime.)
Perhaps Big Windup as well.
I notice her preferences are female targeted anime, while you're asking for 3 brothers. Sports might be the best bet.
You might suggest Madoka Magica for your mother to watch by herself. It's a bit mature for even a 10 year old, but going by her preferences your mother will love it.
Bunny Drop would also be something your mother would like, and it would be fine to watch, even with a 4 year old. I don't know if your brothers would enjoy it though.

You can start off with Little Witch Academia, which has an official subtitled stream on Youtube. It's short, exciting, simple, and very safe.
If you want to go for something longer, try Ashita no Nadja and Heartcatch Precure. The latter has a lot of action and fighting, but no gore or blood splatter.
Looking at other people's recommendations, I actually advise against Hyouka, Clannad, and Kanon. These series may appear safe and appropriate, but they deal with themes that I feel your 4-year-old brother would have trouble connecting to. Examples include:
In my opinion, there's something more important to "kid-friendly" entertainment than simply content such as violence and nudity: the subject matter should not be above their heads. Ashita no Nadja and Heartcatch Precure are targeted towards children in Japan, so they are fairly simple, although they don't patronize their audience like a lot of North American cartoons do. And Little Witch Academia is pretty much for anyone.

And sorry, but "boring" is exactly what Hyouka, Clannad and Kanon would be to a 4-year-old.

Angelic Layer: Nothing offensive and even the four year old can watch
Chi's Sweet Home: Nothing offensive at all: it's about a kitten and her misadventures
Inuyasha is too mature for a 4 year old but I'd let a ten year old and 12 year old watch with supervision. It's relatively inoffensive, but the younguns would be scared of the various monsters.
Nichijou: Some of the jokes might fly over the youngun's head, but there's very little offensive material and one of the main characters is an eight year old girl, her robot and a talking kitty. So, they might like that, as well as mom.
Polar Bear's Cafe: Personally, I found this boring and I lasted about six episodes, but from what I watched, it's pretty all ages friendly.
And everyone likes animals

No violence and nudity? Hmmm...
Aria series - the most user friendly you can find, very calm too. those are episodic series that follow a young girl in training to become an undine. Series follow her training, new encounters and exploration of this new planet that she lives at looks a lot like Venecia. Great series if you are up for something calm. First season is called Aria the animation.
Though doubt that children would enjoy it... I defiantly wouldn't as a child.
Bakuman - I find it family friendly, series focus on 2 friends who starve to become greatest manga artists. I can't remember any nudity or swear words. Some characters might be a bit weird but there are no real fighting as well. Though might be a bit too complicated for a 4 year old...
Chihayafuru - great, family friendly series that follow Chihaya who wants to become top karuta player and re-unite with one of her childhood friends who opened the word of Karuta to her. Amazing series, I'm sure your mother will love it.
Beautiful animation, entertaining characters and quiet motivative too. Series are considered for slightly older audience but not because of nudity/violence and etc. worth taking at least a peak.
Hyouka - friendly series with childish mysteries to solve.
K-ON - group of friends tries to become a professional band... but spend most of their time lazying around and eating cakes while playing music from time to time. I found it pretty entertaining.
Shugo Chara! - magical girl show.
Duno but as a child I used to like Pokemon and Sonic series.
Hope some of them will fit.
Find it hard to recommend children anime since I started to mostly watch anime at age of 17 so my tastes differs. Though there are some good American classics which I'll list just in case:
Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers
Scrooge McDuck
Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears
Loved those as a kid.

Thought of some more:
the 12 year old and Mom might like Spice and Wolf. Yes, there is Holo's nudity, but truthfully, you really don't see anything. Wouldn't advise it for the ten year old and the four year old would be bored.
As for Mom herself, Mom might like UnGo, K and Gossick, which are all mystery/action based.
I really can't think of too much for a 10 and 4 year old.

Most of KyoAni productions are actually very family friendly. I'd recommend stuff like Tamako Market, Chuunibyou, K-ON and Nichijou. No offensive content at all (well mileage may vary with Nichijou but it's still harmless).

At best the kids won't understand those situations at all, but then what's the point in watching it?

Let's talk about the four-year-old first. Reading subtitles is going to be a challenge for most kids that age or even older. One of the reasons I think Chi makes sense is that the language is quite simple, so even the subtitles use a lot of basic words in simple sentences. Anything beyond that is going to be a major challenge to a four-year-old and likely to leave him bored.
The problem is that few series that appeal to children of that age have been dubbed into English. Anime licensors serve an audience of teens and adults and choose their properties accordingly. Once in a while a show gets licensed in R1 that targets kids, but they are rare. Mahou Shoujotai Arusu is a good show for kids, but I didn't recommend it because the cast is almost entirely female, while the OP is asking about shows for boys. Angelic Layer might suffer from the same problem.
Spoiler for How appropriate is Angelic Layer?:
One show none of us have yet mentioned that is entirely appropriate, especially for the older boys, is Space Brothers. It's set in the near future and tells the story of two brothers who want to be astronauts. The creators expect kids to be watching because it airs in family viewing hours on the weekend, but the story itself is fairly mature. Most of the characters are in their 20's and 30's or even older, though there are a variety of flashback scenes with the brothers when they were around 12-14. Like all Crunchyroll shows, it is streamed with subtitles.
I'll also recommend the movie Summer Wars which has aspects that might appeal to everyone from four on up. It also has a dub. Buy the Blu-ray if you have a player; it's worth it.

I'd really like some confirmation from the OP though, who has pretty much vanished into nowhere immediately after making this thread. Post and run syndrome?
I grew up as a boy with The Powerpuff Girls and Cardcaptor Sakura, and I watched quite a few other cartoons that mostly starred female characters. Mahou Shoujo tai Arusu stars females, but the show isn't very stereotypically "feminine" in mood. And Angelic Layer is actually based on a shounen manga.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyA gregarious species, the northern rockhopper penguin breeds in large colonies that may comprise over a hundred thousand nests. Breeding pairs are monogamous, and usually return to the same nest every year (2). Egg-laying commences around August (3), with the female usually producing a clutch of two eggs of unequal size (2). Usually only the chick from the larger egg survives to maturity. Incubation takes around 33 days, with both parent birds taking it in turns to sit on the eggs for extended periods of a time, whilst the other forages for food. Incubation is aided by a bare patch of skin on the lower abdomen (known as a 'brood pouch') that allows greater heat transfer to the egg. Once hatched, the male will remain to brood the chick for the first 25 days, whilst the female regularly brings food back to the nest. After this time, the chick is able to leave the nest, and will congregate with other chicks in small groups known as 'crèches' whilst the parent birds forage (2). In order to maintain its waterproof coat, the northern rockhopper penguin engages in frequent grooming, which helps to flatten the feathers and to spread a waxy substance that is secreted just below the tail. Grooming is also an important social bond between pairs. After breeding the northern rockhopper penguin forages extensively in order to build up fat reserves in preparation for its annual moult. It takes around 25 days for the penguin's coat to be fully replaced, at which point it leaves the land and spends the winter months foraging at sea, before returning to shore to breed in the following spring (2). The diet of the northern rockhopper penguin is composed of a variety of oceanic species, such as crustaceans, squid, octopus and fish (4). Groups may often feed together and dives may be to depths of up to 100 metres (2).

Wolves stay in L.A. to face the Clippers
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Los Angeles Clippers have a good shot at continuing their home winning streak when the Minnesota Timberwolves pay another visit to Staples Center Monday night.
The Clippers have won six in a row at home during the regular season, going 2-0 this season, and are unbeaten in the past five meetings with Minnesota. The Clippers won all four meetings with the Timberwolves last season and have a 6-2 mark in the previous eight matchups as the host.
Los Angeles ended a two-game slide its last time out in a 107-94 victory against the Houston Rockets on Saturday in the finale of a three-game road trip (1-2). The game was tight throughout until the Clips recorded a 34-23 advantage in the fourth quarter and both Blake Griffin and J.J. Redick scored 22 points. DeAndre Jordan added 12 points and 18 rebounds, while Chris Paul posted 14 points and 13 assists.
Jordan owns 96 boards in seven games and has grabbed 17 or more three times already this season. He did that only four times in his past five seasons combined.
The Clippers outscored the Rockets by a 40-18 margin to turn a 12-point third- quarter deficit into a 95-85 lead with 3:45 left to play.
"It started on defense and we got stops defensively and we had a lot of energy on defense and that helped our offense run," Griffin said of the team's comeback. "This was good for us and we'll take wins like this especially on the end of this road trip."
Paul has posted a double-double in each of the first seven games this season and eight in a row dating back to last season. His personal high is 12 games.
The Clippers, who won 13 in a row at home last season, will play four straight at Staples Center versus Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Brooklyn and Memphis.
Minnesota has won back-to-back contests and will close out its tour through Hollywood Monday night. In Sunday's 113-90 victory over the Lakers, Kevin Love continued his torrid pace with 25 points and 13 rebounds, and is second in the NBA in scoring with 26.9 ppg. He is also first in rebounds (14.4 rpg).
Kevin Martin and Corey Brewer scored 27 and 17 points, respectively, and Nikola Pekovic ended with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Ricky Rubio chipped in 12 points and handed out 14 assists for Minnesota, which shot 48.9 percent for the game and made 10-of-20 3-pointers.
The Wolves set the tone early with a 47-23 advantage after 12 minutes and finally halted a 22-game skid to the Lakers. They had not beaten L.A. since March 6, 2007 and recorded their first win over the Lakers at Staples Center in nearly eight years.
"We had lost so many to the Lakers. We were due for one," Love said.
The Timberwolves had not won in LA since Dec. 2, 2005, a string of 13 straight losses.

Boston Red Sox utility Brock Holt made history on Monday.
The 30-year-old hit for the cycle in the Red Sox's 16-1 road win over the New York Yankees in game three of the American League Division Series (ALDS). He is the first player ever to record a cycle in the playoffs.
Holt grounded out in his first at-bat but followed with a single in the fourth inning. He then added a triple in the same frame after Boston batted around and tallied a ground rule double in the eighth.
Holt completed the cycle with a solo home run off Yankees catcher Austin Romine, who was on the mound for the final inning, in the ninth.
1B:— MLB (@MLB) October 9, 2018
Welcome to Brocktober. pic.twitter.com/nKOgERVTNP
Holt finished the game four for six at the plate with five RBIs and three runs scored.
The seven-year veteran finished the regular season with a .277/.362/.411 slash line. He also hit seven home runs and tallied 46 RBIs.

|Delhi's UT status coming in way of disability rights
|Tuesday, 31 October 2017 12:21
NEW DELHI: Six months after the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, came into effect, Delhi government finds itself unable to notify the rules due to a technical reason. As per the Act, the state government has to notify the implementation of the Act, but because Delhi is a Union Territory with a legislature, the onus for this is on the lieutenant governor, who is the administrator.
Delhi government has accordingly written to the Union home ministry to issue a notification delegating power to the LG to notify the said rules so that the Act can be implemented in Delhi.
Sources in the central government said that the matter is under consideration and the notification will be issued after it is vetted by the law ministry.
A government source, however, assured, "The rules will be finalized only after consultation with the stakeholders. The draft will be put in public domain once the Union home ministry issues the notification."

While there is no legal difference between being assaulted when stone sober, after being roofied, or after drinking yourself unconscious, I suspect that some people have less sympathy for the last of the three.
"some people" will say or believe all kinds of reprehensible stuff.
The outcry over this case shows that people in general are no longer going to tolerate that kind of bad behavior.
Steubenville High really needs to have its football program shut down for a couple of years. This wasn't just one or two bad apples, it was a whole culture of misbehavior that did its best to conceal and cover up these rapes, apparently including a fair number of adults in the community. Collective punishment seems entirely appropriate here.
If athletes from other teams were involved, even indirectly -- as may have been the case with at least one non-football team -- then they should shut down those teams, too. People need to get the message that some things are more important than sports.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
DescriptionAnnuals or perennials. Inflorescence terminal or axillary, of paired or digitate (occasionally single) racemes, sometimes numerous and crowded into a spathate false panicle; racemes lacking homogamous pairs; internodes and pedicels filiform to obovoid. Sessile spikelet dorsally flattened or squeezed between pedicel and internode; callus obtuse, inserted in the concave top of the internode; lower glume membranous to coriaceous, mostly flat, concave or deeply grooved on the back, 2-keeled; upper glume with or without an awn; lower floret reduced to a hyaline lemma; upper lemma hyaline, 2-lobed, with a conspicuous awn from the sinus. Pedicellate spikelet male or barren (sometimes 0), usually awnless. Similar to Ischaemum. See the note under that genus.

The top stories of 2013 in Washington County recall that 2013 was anything but dull.
CHIPLEY � 2013 is now relegated to the history books, but it is a year that won�t be soon forgotten my many Washington County residents. From record floods to record crowds at the Watermelon Festival, the year was anything but dull.
No. 1 Top Story of 2013
July, August bring floods to area
County and state officials were surveying Washington County on July 9 afternoon, trying to determine the extent of the damage caused by the July 4 weekend�s torrential rain.
The Florida Panhandle received more than 20 inches of rain between July 3 and July 7, and at one point, every road in Washington County was closed due to the flooding.
Vernon was particularly hard hit, and the City Council met Monday in special session to discuss what can be done to recover.
Homes and barns were flooded, and the city�s wastewater plant was also flooded. The town hall did not go unscathed, with leaks reported in several rooms including the council chambers and City Clerk Dian Hendrix�s office.
�There was water in here and in these rooms,� Hendrix told the council. �I can�t work at my desk right now because of all the water.�
The old high school gymnasium floor also got wet, and may be trying to warp, while another room and hallway at the old school had standing water in them.
Mayor Michelle Cook attended the county meetings, and officials are trying to tally up the damage costs to see if the county and Vernon will qualify for any federal aid.
Cook said 75 roads in the county were compromised by the rain, and 44 roads were deemed impassable.
In August, more rain just made the situation worse. Chipley received between 5 and 15 inches of rain over the weekend of Aug. 16, according to local weather reports, and Vernon once again was inundated, as was the Blue Pond Community Center in Chipley.
Blue Lake overflowed its banks and covered Highway 77 as well, closing the highway to traffic on Aug. 18.
Washington County residents were urged to stay off all roadways throughout the week and limit travel to essential only. �We have been declared a local emergency,� said Vernon Mayor Michelle Cook on Aug. 19. Washington County schools were closed due to the flooding and Public Works personnel were unable to keep up with the demand in responding to each flooded area and place barricades.
It would be months before the roads were all reopened, and the Vernon and Washington County both are seeking FEMA funds to help cover the expensive repairs. Numerous volunteers from church groups worked in Vernon to help people repair damage to homes that was not covered by insurance or federal funds.
No. 2 Story of 2013
County manager resigns following generator accusations
County Commissioner Lynn Gothard said county purchasing policies and state statutes might have been violated when the board voted to buy a generator in February.
The Board of County Commissioners met on March 28 when Gothard read a prepared statement in which she alleged that County Manager Steve Joyner violated
state laws when he arranged for the county to buy a generator from a fellow county employee � a generator that happened to be stored at Joyner�s residence.
�After the meeting, I received information that the purchase had possibly violated both Florida statutes and county purchasing requirements,� Gothard said.
She began researching the information and agreed that possible violations had occurred and that more information and disclosure was needed.
The following month, Joyner resigned his position with the county during the BOCC meeting.
�This is something that has been weighing on me for the past couple of months,� Joyner said, �and I would like to resign my position as county administrator effective tomorrow.�
�This breaks my heart,� Commissioner Todd Abbott said.
�It�s not anything any one commissioner has done,� Joyner said. �This is something I�ve considered for a while.�
The commissioners appointed Public Services Director David Corbin as a �point of contact� between the board and the county employees on April 30, and eventually named Corbin county coordinator.

Vernon receives $100,000 beautification grant
The Vernon City Council learned the Garden Club will be receiving a $100,000 highway beautification grant and welcomed two new council members
on March 25.
Pam Cates shared a letter she had received from the Florida Highway Beautification
Council notifying her that the Vernon Garden Club had received a $100,000 grant for a
beautification project along Highway 79. �You may remember, I came before the
council a few months ago asking for permission to apply for this project,� Cates said. �I was thrilled to find out that our project was accepted.�
No. 4 Story of 2013
Chamber names ambassador, business of the year
Good food, excellent music and fine fellowship were abundant when Washington County residents and business leaders gathered at the county agricultural center on April 4 for the annual Chamber of Commerce Banquet.
The event features the presentation of the Jean Hollingsworth Ambassador of the
Year Award and the naming of the Washington County Business of the Year. The 2013
winners were Ambassador Cindy Johnson-Brown and Taylor Chiropractic, owned by Dr. Mark Taylor.

Chipley Garden Club named �Club of the Year�
May 16, 2013 is a day Chipley Garden Club will remember for quite a while, as the club was named 2013 Garden Club of the Year at Florida Federation of Garden Club�s District II Spring Meeting in Port St. Joe.
Past District II Director Jane Brewer announced that Chipley Garden Club was named Club of the Year at the 2013 FFGC Spring Convention at Ft. Myers.
�This is the No. 1 award given by FFGC. I congratulate Chipley Garden Club on winning this prestigious annual statewide award,� Brewer said. �The award recognizes the Florida garden club that best excels in ALL of the following categories: Membership increase; service to membership; club programs and projects; members attending club, district, state meetings; and/or sponsored programs. Chipley Garden Club truly shares the joys of gardening with their community and each other! This is an awesome accomplishment, not only for Chipley, but for District II.�

Historic water tower demolished
Workers with Isler Demolition Inc. were in Chipley the evening of May 21 to tear down the historic Chipley water tower, which was determined in March to be a safety hazard. The tower sat at the corner of Highway 77 and Highway 90, and the intersection was closed to traffic while the demolition was being performed. The water tower was gone by the next morning. The cost of the project was $24,200, and the city plans to build a park on the lot once the water tower is removed.
The city is planning on developing a park at the location where the water tower once stood.

Mayor wants fake flowers removed from lawn
Chipley City Council members discussed the need for a private property standards ordinance at the council�s June workshop on June 6.
Mayor Linda Cain had a list of 52 properties from around the city that she said need cleaning up, and the primary property she was concerned with was a house on Main Street, where the lawn is decorated with artificial flowers.
�Those silk flowers look ridiculous, you mean to say we can�t do anything about it?� the mayor asked City Code Enforcement Officer David Pettis Jr.
�We don�t have a code against it,� Pettis said. The flowers remained in the lawn throughout the year.
No. 8 Story of 2013
County HR director fired, settles lawsuit
Washington County�s Human Resources Director Heather Finch was fired for being �grossly negligent� and unethical in her job duties, according to a Feb. 26 letter signed by County Manager Steve Joyner.
The letter was hand delivered to Finch. The Washington County News obtained a copy of the letter after submitting a request for public documents under the state Sunshine Law.
On Dec. 23, the Washington County Board of Commissioners voted 4-1 to accept a settlement paying Finch $150,000 to settle a charge of discrimination with the Florida Commission on Human Relations and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
No. 9 Story of 2013
Watermelon Festival attracts record crowds
The 57th annual Panhandle Watermelon Festival drew record crowds and featured top name entertainment this year, including country legend Joe Diffie. In spite of the rainy weather, hundreds gathered in Pals Park in Chipley to hear Diffie and country musician Andy Griggs perform for the first night of the two-day event. On Saturday at the Washington County Agricultural Center, bluegrass performers Dailey & Vincent held a concert for a packed house. As usual, all the musical events were free and open to the public.
No. 10 Story of 2013
Chamber hosts economic symposiums
In August, the Washington County Chamber of Commerce began hosting a series of economic symposiums, with follow-up meetings being held in October and November.
�Today is the beginning of our future,� said Ted Everett, executive director of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce. �We have to have a plan, and we have to come together as a county.�
�Economic development is too important to leave in the hands of just the Chamber or just the county commissioners,� said Jim Brook, executive director of Opportunity Florida and moderator of the symposium�s panel.
The first symposium featured experts in the area of economic development, including Kenny Griffin of the Chipola Regional Workforce Development Board, Dr. David Goetsch, founder and life board member of the Okaloosa Economic Development Commission, Neal Wade of the Bay County Economic Development Alliance, Larry Sassano, of Florida�s Great Northwest, Terry Ellis, manager of West Point Home Inc. in Chipley, and Heather Squires of Enterprise Florida.
The symposiums also began a SWOT analysis of Washington County which is ongoing in an effort for the county to develop a plan for economic development..
�I would rather have 10 businesses with five employees than one business with 50 employees,� Wade said. �One of the first things you need to do is stop going to Dothan or Panama City to shop. Spend that money here in town with a local business.�
Wade said growing the businesses already in place is a key element of economic development that is often overlooked.
�Economic development is the process of creating wealth and increasing the tax base,� Wade said. �If you can grow jobs, then you increase your tax base and everyone benefits.�

WinFuture needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 605 designs submitted by 99 freelance designers.
We need a refreshed header with a refreshed logo for our german IT-News website WinFuture.de. WinFuture is one of germans leading computer news websites, with a focus on software (especially Windows and Microsoft software), internet and hardware news since 2001. Our editors write and publish about 700 news stories per month, maintain a huge download center, a video archive and write product reviews. We publish 365 days a year. We also supervise a huge community with more than 160.000 registered members who write in our forums (helping each other) and comment beneath our news stories. All our services are free of charge; WinFuture is ad-funded and profitable.
In the last couple of weeks we worked on some design/layout improvements on the teaser boxes on the right hand side of the page, on the page-headline graphics (page title e.g. "News", "Downloads") and some enhancements on our code. These changes will go live within the next couple of weeks and we need to adjust the header. So, we want a refreshed header which suits better for our revised design, looks state of the art and solve some long time usability issues (e.g. no search on the upper right yet). The current header and logo are basically unchanged since 2004 - this is a long time in web.
This project can be virtually divided into two pieces: Logo and Header.
Male (78%), under 39 (65%) and affine with technology. Consumers
We don't want to change our logo drastic cause people know and recognize it. We also use the logo in our software and with partners. Our logo consists of 2 parts: the 4 balls and lettering. We're satisfied with the 4 colored balls and don't want to change them - at least not much. We're not so satisfied with the lettering because it's hard to read. Please don't change the letter design drastic, rather refresh it. Keep the balls mostly unchanged and be creative on the lettering. The current logo on our website isn't the full logo, the balls are cropped. Full logo is attached to this post. We need the refreshed logo (balls + lettering) in a full, not cropped version, too.
Users have to recognize our brand and which page they are visiting right away. It is important that the header isn't jumbled so that it will not distract users while reading an article. The current header has clouds in the background, this is not a requirement - but you can use subtle clouds as well. As you see on DesginChanges.png we killed the clouds in the headlines and replaced it with a fade. The header contains user interaction elements (see requirements). The search should be placed in the upper right.
The goal is not to design a completely different header rather than refreshing the current one and make it go well together with our new teaser-boxes.

New Car Review
2013 BMW X5: New Car Review
Pros: Excellent gas and diesel engines, remarkable handling capability, timeless styling, available third-row seat.
Cons: Low second-row bench, third row's barely usable, yesterday's interior, unimpressive fuel economy, disappointing crash ratings.
What's New: The big news for the 2013 X5 is the introduction of the M Performance package, which adds 15 horsepower to the xDrive35i and 40 horsepower to the xDrive50i.
Last year we mentioned that BMW's midsize crossover was getting on in years, and the 2013 BMW X5 is one step closer to the grave, with a replacement waiting in the wings. Still, you wouldn't know it from the way this crossover competes. Blessed with a recently rejuvenated engine range, current technology, and a new M Performance package that cranks up the turbo boost, the X5 lineup continues to hide its age exceptionally well.
So how old is this thing, anyway? Well, you do the math: the current X5 debuted in 2007, making it one of the more ancient luxury vehicles on the market. But it's hard to see where the X5 has lost a step. The naturally aspirated engines it started with back then are gone, replaced by a trio of turbocharged motors (two gas, one diesel) that are arguably best-in-class. And the X5's 5 Series related underpinnings were already just about perfect on arrival.
If there's one area in which the X5 could really stand to improve, it's cabin design. For example, the second-row bench is too low for lanky riders, the third-row is strictly for even-tempered kids, and the austere dashboard is visibly a relic from an earlier BMW era.
But some find that old-school austerity appealing, and we count ourselves among them. Plus, the X5 is otherwise every bit a modern BMW. Cars aren't supposed to age like wine, but one could argue that there's never been a better time to buy a BMW X5.
Comfort & Utility
The X5 is available in three main trim levels: six-cylinder xDrive35i (gas-powered), six-cylinder xDrive35d (diesel-powered), and eight-cylinder xDrive50i. The high-performance X5 M is reviewed separately.
The xDrive35i comes standard with a turbocharged inline-6 gasoline engine, 18-inch alloy wheels, adaptive xenon headlamps, fog lights, roof rails, keyless entry with push-button ignition, leatherette upholstery, 10-way power front seats with lumbar support and driver memory, dual-zone automatic climate control, iPod/USB and Bluetooth connectivity, a 10-speaker audio system with dual subwoofers, and the iDrive infotainment system with the small, square display.
The xDrive35i Premium version adds 19-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, a power tailgate, a power tilt/telescopic steering column, leather upholstery, and heated seats. The xDrive35i Sport Activity version tacks on 20-inch wheels with performance tires, sport seats, and subtle styling tweaks.
The diesel-powered xDrive35d slots somewhere in between the xDrive35i and xDrive 35i Premium, sporting the latter's standard equipment except for the power steering column and 19-inch wheels (both of which are optional).
The xDrive50i adds a twin-turbocharged gasoline V8 and a larger, widescreen iDrive display with a navigation system and hard-drive-based operation (including digital music storage); however, like the xDrive35d, it goes back to standard 18-inch wheels.
Notable options include all manner of optional wheels, 20-way power "Multi-contour" front seats, heated rear seats, quadruple-zone climate control, a rearview camera with multiple views, a rear-seat entertainment system, electronically adjustable dampers, and of course a third-row seat with seatbelts for two occupants.
New for 2013 is the gas-engine-only M Performance package, more on which in "Performance & Fuel Economy," below.
The X5's standard front seats are, well, pretty standard; we'd be a bit disappointed in their nondescript support given the price of entry here. Fortunately, you can upgrade to the 20-way Multi-contour seats, which are sublimely comfortable and worth every penny in our opinion. The gauges will be familiar to any BMW fan, employing the classic white-on-black numerals that change to orange-on-black at night; the traditional BMW dashboard curvature is instantly recognizable as well.
Interior materials are good, but not great, as we've noticed some uncharacteristically marginal plastics scattered around. Moreover, build quality in a recent X5 test car was called into question by a few squeaks and rattles. The X5's cabin is a palpably premium environment, but it's not BMW's best.
The back seat's bottom cushion is surprisingly low, especially for a crossover SUV. We're surprised the X5 doesn't offer a higher bench with more thigh support. As for the optional third-row seat, it's considerably more cramped than it should be in a midsize crossover, but it does add that extra degree of versatility if you need to help haul the soccer team around town.
Given how tight the third row is, you might expect it to be crammed up against the tailgate, but actually there's plenty of room behind the third row—23.2 cubic feet, to be exact. Fold down the third row and there's 35.8 cubic feet behind the second row. Maximum cargo capacity with the second row folded is 75.2 cubic feet. Not bad for this class.
The X5 may have a dated interior relative to newer BMW products, but its technology is anything but dated. Standard niceties include iPod/USB connectivity, Bluetooth, and a kicking sound system with two subwoofers.
But let's talk about iDrive here, because it's the technological heart and soul of every X5. The base version of iDrive utilizes a small, square screen that's frankly not very impressive, but if you check the box for the navigation system, you get a beautifully crisp widescreen display backed by a hard drive with digital music storage.
The iDrive interface has improved dramatically from its controversial early years, now featuring a vastly better menu structure and numerous physical buttons next to the controller knob for direct access to common pathways. It's one of the best infotainment systems on the market, and we appreciate that it's controlled by that console-mounted control knob instead of a touch-screen, so there's no need to lean forward and smudge the screen with your fingertips.
Performance & Fuel Economy
The X5 xDrive35i is powered by a turbocharged inline-6 rated at 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. The transmission is an excellent eight-speed automatic. Acceleration with this engine is respectably swift, but the X5 weighs in the neighborhood of 5,000 pounds, so don't expect miracles.
The X5 xDrive35d's turbodiesel 3.0-liter inline-6 actually makes less power than its gas counterpart, checking in at 265 horsepower; however, it compensates with 425 pound-feet of readily available torque, which makes the diesel X5 feel more confident when quick acceleration is called for. We love the diesel's angry soundtrack, too, and with all that torque, we don't mind at all that it's only got a six-speed automatic.
Of course, if you want to solve the X5's weight problem with gusto, there's always the xDrive50i with its twin-turbocharged V8, which delivers its remarkably civilized 400 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque through the slick eight-speed automatic. An X5 V8 is a seriously fast SUV.
Finally, if the paltry power output of either the xDrive35i or xDrive50i offends you, the 2013 models can be enhanced via an M Performance package that adds 15 hp/30 lb-ft to the former and 40 hp/30 lb-ft to the latter. We'll do the math for you here: that's a total of 440 hp and 480 lb-ft in the xDrive50i. Who needs the X5 M?
All X5 models are all-wheel drive, which at least partly explains the lackluster fuel economy. An xDrive35i gets 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway, while the xDrive50i drops to 14/20 mpg. The diesel-powered xDrive35d is the winner at 19/26 mpg, though even those numbers seem like they could be higher.
The 2013 BMW X5 comes with standard stability control, four-wheel antilock disc brakes, and six airbags (front, front-side, full-length side-curtain). Also offered is BMW Assist, which includes four years of enhanced roadside assistance, stolen vehicle recovery, and more.
In government crash tests, the 2013 X5 was awarded four stars overall (out of five), including just three stars for frontal impacts. However, the independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety previously awarded the X5 its highest rating of "Good" in every tested category.
Driving Impressions
The X5 immediately impresses—if that's the right word—with its unusually high steering effort at low speeds. It almost feels like the power steering system's broken. But there's a flipside to this coin: the wizened X5 provides an unusually precise, connected feel at the helm once you're up to speed. Body roll is kept mostly in check, which, trust us, is no small feat in a 2.5-ton SUV.
Indeed, this BMW puts the "Sport" in SUV, generally comporting itself like a tall previous-generation 5 Series sedan (which is essentially what it is). The ride is firm but supple, in the classic BMW manner, and even the optional 20-inch rims can't make this 'ute jittery over bumps. Only the Porsche Cayenne delivers more smiles per mile in this class, and you'll have to pay a bundle to get a Cayenne that can keep up with an xDrive50i, especially with the M Performance package.
Other Cars to Consider
Mercedes-Benz M-Class: Recently redesigned, the 2013 M-Class isn't nearly as rewarding to drive as the X5, but it's got plenty of presence, and its ride is exceptionally smooth.
Porsche Cayenne: Cayennes can get exceptionally costly when you option them with all the stuff you want, but for some, the exclusivity will be worth it.
Volkswagen Touareg: One of our favorites, the Touareg has a nice interior, a wonderful back seat, and even decent off-road capability. It handles surprisingly well, too.
AutoTrader Recommends
If we had the means, the xDrive50i with the M Performance package would be our choice. We do try to be practical, but 440 horsepower? How could we resist?

Pathophysiologic mechanisms in thrombosis and hemostasis
The primary interest of our laboratory is the investigation of the effects of antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies on an anticoagulant protein, annexin A5 (previously known as annexin V). The antiphospholipid (aPL) syndrome is an enigmatic autoimmune disorder that is characterized by thrombosis and/or recurrent spontaneous pregnancy losses that occur in patients who have evidence for antibodies against phospholipid-binding proteins.
Annexin A5 (A5) is a phospholipid-binding protein with potent anticoagulant properties that are a consequence of its forming 2-dimensional crystals over membranes containing anionic phospholipids. A5 is highly expressed by cells with barrier functions, including endothelial cells and placental trophoblasts. It is presumed to play a thrombomodulatory role on the apical surfaces of placental syncytiotrophoblasts and on endothelial cells.
We were the first to propose and demonstrate that aPL antibodies disrupt the annexin A5 anticoagulant shield on artificial bilayers and on cell membranes. Our current projects in this area include:
