Well first of all your question does not make much sense, you should write just one question and be explicit in it so that all can see what you actually want to achieve.
By this question if I understand correctly you want to see if that someone who attacked you with an "external ip" found in your logs is behind a nat ( I hope this is what you want ).
I will give you a short answer: If someone attacks you and you find his IP in logs, phone your ISP company and report this incident, they will take care of it.

TWO slip-ups cost York City dearly as they went down 2-1 at home to Exeter City in npower League Two.
The Minstermen, seeking a third successive home victory, made a lively start at Bootham Crescent and carved out a series of early openings.
However, the Grecians forged ahead with a breakaway goal after the hosts lost possession on halfway in the 14th minute. Following some desperate lunges from York defenders, home forward Alex Rodman put through his own net trying to scramble the ball clear.
The lead lasted only five minutes as midfielder Michael Potts stabbed the ball past former York loan 'keeper Artur Krysiak following a good Minstermen move.
The visitors made the better start to the second half and regained the lead eight minutes in when Scott Kerr's pass across the back put Jamal Fyfield under pressure, allowing Exeter to create an opening for Jimmy Keohane to score.
The defeat means York slip a place to 15th in the npower League Two table ahead of next Saturday's trip to Cheltenham Town.

Any luck finding Brent Woodall's name?
well done, mb. Well done
I was actually working, so was a bit under the gun, and didn't get to Woodall's name...another reason to go back...
Well done mb. I showed this to my wife and we both teared up. We have fond memories of Mark we just recounted to each other.
One story I'll share: I was a boarder at Mark's fraternity in the fall of 1990. The Chi-Psi guys were very fun to hang out with - very smart, athletic, and intelligent guys. MB was no exception. I was a boarder at "The Lodge" during my sophomore year and nearly joined - but ultimately pledged another fraternitiy.
About a year later - probably in the spring rains, I was invited by some of my fraternity brothers to play some mud football. We took over the Hearst rec field and tore it up. Mark was on the opposing side, and I found myself in the unenviable position of needing to tackle him. Definitely a big-guy (6'4) vs little guy (5'11, 160 lbs) arrangement. But I went all in, and made a text book tackle that I was pretty proud of (and got praise even from MB for). Only problem - I wrapped him so low that I took his knee right to the side of the head. Bounced back OK, but felt weird in the ear. Later that night, when clearing my ears by pinching my nose, I could actually blow air out of my ear. I had ruptured an ear drum. Healed up fine a few weeks later. That was my last personal memory of him.
I recall on 9/11, (or more likely 9/12, or 9/13) hearing his mom interviewed. At this point, I didn't realize Mark had been a casualty of 9/11. She recited/quoted him from the cell-phone conversation they had - and she imitated his voice so well - saying "Mom, this is Mark. Mark Bingham." When my wife and I heard the voice (not the name) - we knew that we knew who she was talking about. It was surreal. She had his dialect and voice right on.
I haven't shared these stories much - but always appreciate the way the posters on this board treat Mark's memory - and thought you may enjoy this.
Go Bears, and never forget.

wow...glad I could inspire with my picture. Thanks for the story. And until you did your post, I didn't think about the sharing of the initials...I am humbled for sure.

Man Buys Tuna For a Whopping $1.8 Million
Kiyoshi Kimura and his million dollar tuna.
via Business Insider.
A rare bluefin tuna was sold in Japan for a record-breaking (and mind-boggling) $155.4 million yen (about $1.79 million U.S. dollars) this weekend at an auction held at Tokyo's famous Tsukiji fish market.
According to Business Insider, the giant 489-pound tuna was caught off northeastern Japan before joining hundreds of other tuna on the auction block. Doing a little simple math, that comes out to about $3,660 per pound of tuna, not factoring in the non-usable and less-valuable parts of the tuna.
The tuna was purchased by Japanese restaurateur Kiyoshi Kimura, who owns and operates the Sushi-Zanmai chain, called one of the best sushi restaurants in Japan by CNN. Kimura broke his own record for purchasing the most expensive tuna. Last year, the businessman purchased a tuna for a then-record $736,000.
Bluefin tuna are on the Montery Bay Aquarium's
"avoid" list for both being overfished, leaving the bluefin population
severely depleted, and for the tuna being known to contain "elevated
levels of mercury and PCBs" in its flesh.
Still, bluefin tuna is considered a delicacy, especially in Japan, where about 80% of this rare fish is consumed.

Light Rail
Australia - Hong Kong - France - USA - Germany - Ireland - Morocco - The Netherlands - Spain - Sweden
Transdev is the world's leading provider of light rail transit (LRT) solutions, with 22 systems running in 12 countries across four continents. The company's pioneering position stems from an ability to provide comprehensive support to local authority partners; from initial feasibility studies to everyday success. Transdev not only has extensive expertise as a tram network operator, but through its sister company Transamo, it has worked with transport authorities to manage the planning, design, build and operation of over 161 miles of light rail.
Transdev worked in partnership with the first cities that revived this mode of transport in France in the mid-1980s, namely Nantes and Grenoble. Transdev's operation in Nantes pioneered a new era of mobility introducing the very first modern tramway in 1985. Today the network is over 24 miles in length and the backbone of an internationally recognised example in urban mobility, carrying over 265,000 light rail passengers a day and continued ridership growth - nearly 40% in the last 10 years.
These systems, together with other hugely successful schemes across France have allowed Transdev to apply this experience to the provision of tram services in Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
The example of Strasbourg is particularly interesting as it was the first of the next generation tramways, where high quality accessible vehicles were integrated into the streetscene. This Transdev project was really the catalyst to the French renaissance of tramways and many other international projects were modelled on this example.
Modern trams have been successfully reintroduced not only as a fast and efficient mode of transport, but as a way to bring urban and social benefits which reshape the urban space and meet public authorities' wider urban plans and visions.
Luas, Dublin
In 1994, within the framework of its urban development plan, the City of Dublin decided to implement - in addition to its existing network - a light rail system, for quick and environmentally friendly transportation with high customer capacity to meet rush-hour demand. To build the light rail system, a dedicated agency, RPA, was set up to manage the project. In 2002 Transdev were awarded the contract to operate the 'Luas' light rail system in Dublin with the service becoming operational in 2004 .
Key Figures;
- 2 lines
- 23 miles of track
- 54 stops
- 6 park and ride services
- 80,000 journeys per day
- 27.4 million passengers per year
- 66 vehicles
- 300 employees
In October 2010 Transdev delivered a 4.6 mile extension to the Green Line and in July 2011 a further 2.6 mile extension of the Red Line with a new Park and Ride facility at Cheeverstown station. These improvements demonstrate Transdev's commitment to the ongoing development of the service. along with an open and on-going dialogue between the transport authority (RPA)

That's a good week, Erika -- you're building nicely.
3.1 miles, 29:29, 9:23/mi, AHR 130 (63% MHR)
Legs were tired from yesterday's run. That means I'm doing it right
How 'bout those 'skins?
Lou, (aka Mr. predawnrunner), MD, USA | Lou's Brews | email@example.com
Traveling right now from ND to MN. Had a training train-wreck with all this traveling and three days of blizzard with 20-40 mph winds, no TM and non-plowed roads filled with 2-4 foot drifts. I am so happy to be headed home, without other people to make me feel gulity for wanting to exercise and me feeling tired, cranky and drained because I have a real psychiology need for exercise. I am clearly adopted and my blood family is off sking, running freeze your bun runs, or anything besides just sitting and eating.
Those pictures are so cute. Enjoy that grandson, they grow up so quick.
You didn't have a garmin before right? I have the 205 and wish I had the 305. Just not enough
incentive for me to upgrade but I am envious.
Boy do I know what you mean about those later runs eating up your day. I think I will be a (mostly) morning runner for life. Next time maybe run a few miles before the group run?
Did your DH make that or order it? Told/lectured my DH when I saw yours because it has been on the todo list FOREVER.
Did you guys get hit with blizzard with lots of snow and wind too?
10 miles on TM for me today. Oh boring. Have most of the week off and I am planning on making all body parts hurt.
I am signing up for a TRI! Don't get too excited. It is indoors, 15 min swimming, 20 minute of bike, 20 minutes of running. Go for your best distance, no winners race. So I need to find my swimsuit and then get my head in the water. I only plan to swim a couple times a week. 15 minutes should not be that bad right? I figure it is a good baby step to my first real TRI, which I do plan to do one day.
This multi-sport club might be just the thing I need to convince me to do a triathlon one day, like when the kids are older. The club's team shirts are bike shirts, so I guess they are big on biking. My RP joked that we will need bikes to go with the shirts.
Anyway Hope everyone had an AWESOME Christmas! Hope everyone has a HAPPY AND SAFE New Years!
Sending lots of safe travels for all that are traveling this week!! BTW Bugs your dh is nuts! Looks like I have some catching up to do.
Oh and LOVED the video and pictures Kim!
Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson
Nice rack Vix!
Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday. Great run this weekend by the way Lou!
Kimmie has a 310xt. Now we can be even more jealous.
I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. firstname.lastname@example.com
I have the 205 and sometimes wish I had the 305 instead, so I could keep an eye on my hr.
The rack came from mymedaldisplay.com. Just in case.
Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. (Heb. 12:1b) Mile by Mile
Bugs, no blizzard here. Just a couple inches of snow that I didn't know was coming so made Saturday's run difficult. The wind we get here is nothing, I mean nothing compared to ND wind. Or MN wind. I've been in both, and don't care to ever be again! By Sunday, the wind (breeze?) was up to 15 mph gusts from the Northeast, meaning in my face on the way back up the hill to home. Not pleasant, but not miserable either. And the bikepath had been plowed so that was much better.
I have the 305, but hardly ever use the HRM. I also have the 205, and we have two 301's that I think I'll try to sell on Craigslist or Ebay. The satellite antennae on those really suck, but they do have the HRM.
Glad to hear you're feeling better, Pam!
Just came back from a really chilly 5 mile run.... the wind was crazy!!! But I loved it... I need to get my runs in from now until Boston.
It's so weird to struggle with motivation when I get out there, I'm super happy I went. But then I had to MAKE myself go... what is that? I FORGOT how much I like running? I don't know... seems like some on this board never struggle with motivation... . that's awesome. I need to channel my inner Lou-ness.
Bugs- I had a 201 Garmin... an oldie but goodie. I like my new watch but still figuring things out. I need to learn everything before I get out the door, because once I'm running, I don't want to mess with the watch. Exciting that you're doing a tri... I need to do that but I'm intimidated. And I'm not intimidated by a lot but the swimming thing.... I need to take lessons.
Glad to hear you're feeling better, Pam. You are one tough and strong woman. I"ll be curious to hear how you like P90X.... I wonder if it will be challenging enough for you, but you can make it whatever you need it to be.
Erika- you're awesome.... some day I'll try pool running.
I need to channel my inner Lou-ness.
This comment was after I had looked at the wind (and my tired legs from Sunday) and decided to shift my schedule this week. I had a 10 miler on the plan with 5@tempo today, which I'm swapping with tomorrow's run. I think that's ok once in a while.
I need to channel my inner Lou-ness.
Sorry, Lou. You're Mr. Consistency in my book .
We all need to channel our inner Lou-ness. You even listen to your body when called for.
3.5 or so on the treadmill today. Did almost half on the elliptical (machines were full) but I logged it all as running.
Here's one for you to laugh at--it was FREEZING today in South Florida--42 as I was running! And windy, too! As I warmed up I tried to get my hands out of the thumb-hole things but they got like ice and I had to put them back in. Of course it was my torso that was warm.
My swimming and biking are BOTH lousy, so I think it's single-discipline events for me. I like the sound of your tri, though, Bugs!
Kimmie, I'm not motivated either. I said I'd shoot for the 18+ run Saturday to see if I could make the run at the Gasparilla Marathon at the end of February, but honestly, my heart's not in it, and I wonder about the wisdom of even attempting marathon training with such a half-hearted attitude.
Oh, doc called back and said my bloodwork's all normal, so her working diagnosis is overtraining. She didn't say what my iron #s were, but I still think I'm going to try a vitamin w/ iron. Can't hurt, right? Right?
Thanks for the comments, guys. Hopefully I get out there tomorrow and do today's run just fine -- I'm this close to 2200 miles for the year -- just a number but it'd be nice to get there I suppose.
So while Nate Jr (or NJ, as we call him) and his parents were here, we hired a photographer to come to the house to get some good pictures . She took 235 pictures, I think, but posted 11 of them to her facebook page, and put one of NJ's images as her avatar. Here is NJ's album on her site (in case you haven't seen enough of him): http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=134532&id=50433558753&ref=mf
You guys are making me want a 310. I'm trying to find information on whether it is more accurate than the 305 or not. I think I asked a Garmin guy that question at some expo and he said no, but now I'm not sure. Does anyone know if there are benefits over the 305 other than smaller, more waterproof and longer battery life?
Here's one for you to laugh at--it was FREEZING today in South Florida--42 as I was running!
Ok, I did have to laugh at this one. Not at you, Vix, but the comment and sentiment. 42 is awesome running temp as far as I'm concerned! Shorts weather, for sure! Even with wind...
Lou, those pictures are beautiful! Very photogenic child... his grandparents aren't too bad, either! Yes, my inner-Lou-ness needs a wake up call every now and then.
After a day off from running (after the 12 miles on Sunday), my foot felt great and legs felt mostly recovered, even after the weighted squats yesterday. I'm really going to try to keep lower body strength training in my schedule as I build my running. I've really noticed the difference from the last 8 weeks of training... light as it's been. So today I thought I'd head out for 4-5 miles on more flat terrain. I have to balance hills and warmer temps, with flatter terrain and colder temps. I'm tired of running up the hill to get home, so headed for DH's office. From there, I headed West to the end of the plowed sidewalk, turned and went back then across the main road along the expressway another couple of miles. This is a nice bikepath, mostly flat but some gentle ups and downs, and one big railroad overpass along the way. Ended up with 7 miles, 8:27 avg pace, -11F at the start. Walked .45 miles to cool down, then back to DH's office to change into a dry shirt and down coat for the drive home.

|The first model in the Fulcrum lineup conceptualizes the "American Milsub". As a base we drew inspiration from the vintage Rolex(1) and Tudor(2) Submariners(3) that had been a favorite of the military since the Vietnam War. Specifically we explored what the American military, given the opportunity, would have changed on the iconic dive watch to suit their requirements if the US military had continued its tradition of developing purpose built dive watches.
Defining elements of the American Milspec dive watch:
* "Tropic"-style high-domed sapphire crystal
* Curved case back for comfort
* Beadblasted finish (versus the original Parkerized finish or the British satin finish.)
* 12-hr GMT bezel with combination 20 minute time elapse counter – as distinctly American
Additional features incorporated into the Mk II Fulcrum:
* Anti-magnetic shielding up to 80,000 A/m
* Date display, shifted to the 4.30 position so as to preserve the luminous marker at 3 o'clock.
* High grade movement (Soprod A10).
* Helium release valve
* Lume-brik ™ technology: Nonradioactive molded- polymer luminous markers that achieve a performance equivalent to 6-8 layers of traditionally applied luminous material (essentially double our standard luminous application) while preserving an unsurpassed sharp and legible appearance.
* Drilled through lugs for use with optional shoulderless spring bars custom made for the Fulcrum.

'The Waltons' Reunion [VIDEO]
To millions, "The Waltons" was the ultimate wholesome show about the importance of family. My family never missed an episode. Thursday nights was a big night for my family. As soon as dinner was over and homework was done, we would gather around the television set and watch our favorite show – "The Waltons." Matt Lauer had several of the cast members on the Today show and reminisced about the show and why America embraced this precious family show. Did you watch The Waltons?

Sometimes, a newspaper is a little too eager to get the "scoop" and when they rush to the presses to print a headline, do so with the wrong projected outcome. Other times, fact checking goes out the window to produce some pretty erroneous pieces of "journalism."
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Of course, now these errors also occur on TV, social media and other areas where people get their news. Take America's favorite satirical newspaper, the Onion. I guess satire sometimes doesn't translate well as you will see later in this post.
1The Chicago Tribune mistakenly declares Dewey defeats Truman in presidential election
It was a perfect storm of the newspaper changing the way they prepare copy, a printer's strike and a political analyst who made the wrong prediction that caused 150,000 copies of the newspaper to be printed before being corrected.
In one of history's most iconic photographs, Truman can be seen holding the famous issue of the newspaper soon after winning the election.
How did this famously Republican-leaning newspaper describe Truman at one point? As a "nincompoop" of course!
2The Baltimore Evening Sun reports all Titanic passengers are safe
The April 15, 1912 edition of the Baltimore Evening Sun featured an article headlined "All Titanic Passengers Are Safe Transferred In Lifeboats At Sea." This was as opposite as you can get to what really happened to the great R.M.S. Titanic and its passengers. If the Titanic was safely floating in the Atlantic and all passengers aboard were rescued despite hitting an iceberg, would Hollywood have made a blockbuster film of that?

3A German newspaper declares ABBA dead in plane crash
With the headline "ABBA Members Killed In Plane Crash," the paper stated only Anni-Frid survived, but was severely disfigured from the accident.
Later, in an effort to prove the story false, band members Agnetha, Benny, Björn, and Anni-Frid appeared on German TV to dispel the rumors and prove they were indeed still alive and well.
Sorry, Germany, there was no "S.O.S" from ABBA!

4A Chinese news organization reports Kim Jong-un as "The Sexiest Man Alive"
Back when the Onion was an in-print periodical in addition to their online presence, it was known for political and social satire, often making up truly ridiculous stories for a chuckle. For the paper's November 14, 2012 edition, the Onion crowned North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-un "The Onion's Sexiest Man Alive For 2012." Along with this "story," the Onion's website had a 55-image slideshow of Lil' Kim Jong commemorating this "honor."
How is this a headline error? Well, China's state newspaper People's Daily caught wind of the story and took it as truth.
How did the Onion respond when finding out about People's Daily getting wind of this "news" and reporting it on their website? They posted: "For more coverage on 'The Onion's Sexiest Man Alive 2012,' Kim Jong-un, please visit our friends at the People's Daily in China, a proud Communist subsidiary of The Onion, Inc. Exemplary reportage, comrades."
And how did People's Daily counter? The Chinese website removed the spread with their link to the Onion story and left nothing but an error message.

5Several news organizations mistakenly declare miners in mining disaster found safe
This disaster, one of the worst since 2001, became known as the "Sago Mine disaster" and received worldwide news coverage. A day after the collapse, on January 3rd, news services including Reuters and the Associated Press reported that 12 of the 13 miners had indeed survived. The governor was seen in a nearby church celebrating with the victims' families overjoyed by news of this "miracle."
Congresswoman Shelly Moore Capito even appeared on CNN and announced that 21 miners had survived, but hours after USA Today ran the headline of "Alive! Miners beat odds!" and major U.S. newspapers like the New York Times and the Washington Post ran similar headlines, the mining company's CEO, Ben Hatfield confirmed that there was only one survivor in the disaster. At a press conference announcing the death toll, grief stricken friends and relatives of the victims called mine officials "liars" and one even lunged at an official.
A truly sad day for the victims and their loved ones.

6The NY Post announced the wrong running mate for John Kerry in the 2004 election
Just hours after the late edition of the New York Post hit the stands, Senator Kerry announced on the Today Show that infamous senator John Edwards of North Carolina would be his running mate instead.
Post editor-in-chief, Col Allen issued an apology, but that didn't stop rival newspaper, the Daily News from poking fun of the situation with a case of champagne and a note saying "Congratulations on your front page. Have a nice day," followed by a smiley face.
Kerry lost the election to George Bush, but became Secretary of State in 2013. Whatever happened to John Edwards? Perhaps Kerry should have run with Gephardt after all.

7Bloomberg publishes Steve Jobs' obituary three years before his death
News organizations routinely prepare obituaries in advance, but during the peak of media speculation of Jobs' health and while updating their obituary of the Apple founder, the newswire accidentally let it go up live on the internet for just 30 seconds. Though Bloomberg quickly retracted the obituary, other newswires immediately picked up on it, and sent investors into a frenzy.
With classic humor and during an Apple keynote presentation, Jobs poked fun at the accident by displaying Mark Twain's famous quote, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated" on a screen behind him.
Sadly, Jobs lost his fight to pancreatic cancer on October 5, 2011.

8Reuters reports the death of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in error
Upon seeing incorrect reports of his wife's death while traveling, Kelly went into the plane's bathroom and broke down. He later told ABC TV's Diane Sawyer, "To hear that she died is just – it's devastating for me."
Reuters first announced Gifford's death on Twitter. The tweet said, "FLASH: Congresswoman Gifford dies after being shot in the head at public appearance in Tuscon, Arizona." NPR, CNN, Fox News and the New York Times also reported Gifford's passing.
To Kelly's relief, Gifford made a miraculous recovery and was well enough to see her husband command the last flight of the space shuttle Endeavor. She was also able to vote on the debt ceiling bill before retiring from Congress in 2012.
Six people were killed and thirteen others were injured in the January 11, 2011 shooting.

9The New York Post misidentifies suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing
One problem? The two men pictured were innocent.
While the Post never said straight out that the two men in the photo were the bombers, the cover certainly implies it. The term "bag man" has a criminal connotation and both men are circled in red in a second close up image inside the paper.
Not long after it was printed, it was revealed neither man pictured was even a suspect. One of the men, a 17-year-old high school student, told ABC News he went to the media to clear his name and said, "It's the worst feeling that I can possibly feel." (Source)

The sides in a civil lawsuit stemming from the deaths of a Denver family from carbon monoxide poisoning in an Aspen-area home will be allowed to review grand jury testimony and evidence that led to a criminal indictment of three valley men.
The criminal charges, handed down in 2010, were dismissed in 2011 because dates on the indictment were outside the statute of limitations. But the relatives of Caroline Lofgren, 42; her husband, Parker, 39; and their children, Owen, 10, and Sophie, 8, sued 11 people and firms that worked on the Popcorn Lane home during its construction. The lawsuit over their 2008 deaths was filed in Denver District Court.
Chief Judge James Boyd of Pitkin County District Court ruled Tuesday that most of the testimony the local grand jury heard, and evidence that the secret body considered, can be used in the lawsuit.
Boyd's ruling allows the Aspen district attorney's office and Pitkin County Sheriff's Office to release from their custody the Munchkin boiler and venting infrastructure that led to the Lofgrens' deaths.
"This ruling has been long awaited," said William Hansen, the Denver attorney for the Lofgren relatives, on Wednesday. "This was a big, long fight."
A settlement was reached Friday with seven of the 11 defendants, he said. The monetary terms are confidential, though Hansen said they were fair and reasonable.
The remaining defendants are Marlin Brown, the owner of Glenwood Springs-based Roaring Fork Plumbing and Heating, which also remains as a defendant; and Integrity Construction Management Group, which court papers say was the general contractor during the home's construction, and its then-principal, Jack Wheeler. He is now Pitkin County's facilities project manager.
Brown and his company installed the boiler, and a filing in the lawsuit says that the primary factors behind the family's deaths were "defective venting" to the boiler; the lack of ventilation in the crawl space and mechanical room where the boiler was located; and the absence of a carbon monoxide detector in the $9 million home.
The remaining entities in the lawsuit are the key defendants, Hansen said.
Noticeably absent from the grand jury materials that Boyd released are the transcripts from the other two men, Brian Pawl and Erik Peltonen, who were indicted along with Brown in 2010.
Hansen sought the grand jury testimony of Pawl and Peltonen, who at the time of the Lofgrens' deaths were building inspectors working for both the city and county, which share such duties.
Both men took the Fifth in a deposition last year, citing the possibility of them again facing criminal prosecution or civil liability. The Pitkin County government, Peltonen and Pawl in 2011 were dismissed from the family members' lawsuit. A judge ruled that the plaintiffs had failed to prove that the county and its employees created the danger that led to the tragedy.
Hansen changed course in his pursuit of grand jury statements made by Pawl and Peltonen after they agreed to provide deposition testimony. He filed a motion that their grand jury statements should not be released.
Because all of the criminal charges were dropped, the men "should retain their status as preemptively innocent despite being what they contend was wrongfully accused," the motion says. Also, "there remains a legitimate concern for retribution and social stigma."
With the men being civil servants at the time, "disclosure of such testimony would result in a future deterrent for building officials to voluntarily appear before grand juries to give testimony," Hansen wrote.
Boyd agreed, blocking the release of their testimony. The other grand jury materials will not become public, as Boyd ruled that they can only be released to the parties involved in the lawsuit.
The suit against the remaining defendants, meanwhile, is on hold because Brown recently declared bankruptcy, Hansen said on Wednesday.
Once that matter is resolved, he said he expects the case to go to trial in May.

'You know that at the end of 'The Avengers', we left New York in tatters. And while there's plenty of clean-up, one very important item was left behind,' the actor said.
Robert Downey Jr. appeared in a video which was played during Marvel's Blu-ray event for "The Avengers" at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, July 13 night. The Iron Man depicter greeted specific group of fans from one of the lavatory units at the "Iron Man 3" North Carolina set.
"I am coming to you live from a bathroom stall in Wilmington, North Carolina, where I am prepping to shoot the very famous toilet escape sequence from Iron Man 3. I'd like to congratulate you for being here, sitting where you are today, as am I, dropping a water moccasin," Downey Jr. said, holding a microphone while sitting on a toilet.
He was there to introduce "Item 47", a short film which will be attached to the home video release. Approximately 10 minutes long, the film takes place after the events of "The Avengers" and follows a young couple played by Jesse Bradford and Lizzy Caplan. The couple discovers how to use an alien weapon left behind by the Chitauri and uses it to rob a bank. Two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, played by Titus Welliver and Maximiliano Hernandez, track them down.
"So everyone's seen 'The Avengers', right?" Downey Jr. said in his intro. "You know that at the end of 'The Avengers', we left New York in tatters. And while there's plenty of clean-up, one very important item was left behind. So I'll let you see it for yourself - this exclusive short film directed by my dear friend and Marvel co-president - isn't that synchronistic - Louis D���Esposito."
The audience were able to watch "Item 47" after they completed a scavenger hunt involving hints of where the screening would take place. The first 300 to arrive at United Artist 14 Theater in San Diego's Westfield Plaza were treated with the short film's screening as well as a short Q & A session with the cast and crew.

Transfer Box MY 2011
For a year now, I have experienced a slight juddering when setting off from a T junction with a little steering lock on. I thought it may have been the tyres or tracking, or just a 4 wheel drive thing... The juddering was intermittent and could not be induced..
Then a couple of weeks ago I noticed another power train related issue. At very low speed, less than 10 mph, if I took my foot off the gas, I felt a clunking sensation, almost like the gear box was jamming. Again this issue was intermittent.
On Thursday the issues were both present and I had time to take the car to the dealer.. I explained the issues to the technician and he immediately suggested it could be a transfer box issue, I reversed the car away so that he had room to get into the passenger side.. He got in and we set off, 5 yards later he said yes, it's probably the transfer box... Actually he said he noticed it when I was reversing....
Ok Monday I have to take the car in for diagnostics... I will update more as things develop..
Fortunately the car is still under warranty, now I am wandering if this is a one-off, or if anyone else has had similar issues with their X3s, I do love the car I enjoy driving it, and driving it hard too... But should this component fail so soon.. The car has 38000 miles on the clock.
Transfer Box MY 2011
Clunking sounds at low speeds while decelerating could also indicate a failing differential (likely front but could be rear) in addition to the transfer case. I am at 135k and that was my only issue with my 09 since new and covered by warranty.
Your model has the same driveline as the previous generation x3. Transfer case issues are fairly common...especially on used cars. What we have found the most common controllable cause is tire replacement. All 4 tires need to have roughly the same outside diameter (within 2 mm). If any one replaces only 1 or 2 tires failure will happen within short order. Not saying this was your issue but something to remember in the future. However, on this board failure on original owner cars is rare since all know tire history.
Another highly recommended safe guard is regular xfer case and differential fluid changes. I follow 25k, others 50k. The key is regular maintenance. Neither are lifetime fluids.
Let us know final outcome. The dealer will get you patched up in short order I am sure.

Just a quick update.. They changed the oil in the transfer case.. So far it seems OK..
Do you guys have the procedures for changing the transfer case fluid? What type of fluid, quantity, are the drain and fill plugs 6mm Allen sockets? Thanks.
Sorry, no. My dealer said there is no schedule for changing the oil in the transfer case, it's a non serviceable item??? But clearly it can be changed..
Transfer Box MY 2011
Yes it can be changed and is quite easy. The procedure for the f25 should be identical to the e83.
It takes 1L of BMW transfer case fluid. It's about $50 a bottle.
It has two 17 mm bolts one for fill and one for drain in front of the transmission x member.
Undo the fill plug first with an open ended box wrench. You can't get a socket up there.
Take off the drain plug. Let drain in oil catch pan.
Check the two copper washers, I recommend buying two new ones at parts counter when you buy the fluid.
Once drained replace drain plug and use a brand new or thoroughly clean and uncontaminated fluid transfer pump to refill via fill hole. Keep pumping until the fluid comes out of the fill hole.
Change every 25 to 50k miles. The computer tracks a wear value that's only view all from a dealer type scanner but if you regularly change it will never trip.

I did quite a bit work on my E83 transfer box. Now I'm thinking of switching to F25 so Popping into this thread to see if any improvement on the F25 transfer box.
Oil alone, that's what I've found which I've reported back to several E83 threads:
The original BMW TF-0870 fluid is an old type of mineral oil plus some additives made by Shell, very smelly. The problem is it's not doing its job very well. In particular, it causes the transfer box worn out very quickly. One of the indicator is the drained oil has lots of metallic particles. The other indicator is the chain gets loose so the box gets either noisy or hesitated.
There is a German company called Ravenol. They make fully synthetic TF-0870 fluid for Land Rover and others. The fluid colour is clearer and it has no smell comparing to the Shell. I've changed to the Ravenol and never go back, the box works much better.
Before I got the Ravenol, I figured out the Shell oil problem. It is the lubricity of the mineral oil so I used 0.6 L Shell and 0.2 L REDLINE D6. The mix has similar result as the RAVENOL as the D6 is a fully synthetic transmission oil and it has the same GL4 as the TF-0870. More importantly it suits boxes with clutches. As this is an experiment so please don't hold me responsible. If possible, use the Ravenol as it has exactly the same TF-0870 spec as the Shell and it's fully synthetic.
As far as the computer concern, according to BMW computer, you need to reset the integrators when changing oil. If you don't, it will still work but I guess it may take a while to learn or phase in?
Hope the info helps

How do you reset it yourself? I have indie change the fluid but I don't know if they reset that value. "The computer tracks a wear value"
I wouldn't think the computer does anything different based on the value?
2014 X1 28xi, 2011 X3
2006 330xi E90 158k miles.
2003 330xi E46
You need to have access to a BMW computer called DIS (for E83, may be different for F25) then to set all the 'integrators' back to zero. My best guess is if you don't, the car would still learn that slowly so the first moment after the oil change the box would not be at the optimum setting.
Last edited by enjoydriving; 01-12-2015 at 01:06 AM. Reason: additional info
Wow! I've just found this thread - I've had EXACTLY the same symptoms and at first I thought I was imagining things! Luckily, went into my dealer today and the Technician who took the car for a test drive was able to feel and replicate the fault - he said it was likely to be the transfer box and that BMW 'made them jump through hoops' to approve any claim for it to be faulty.
Luckily, I have a BMW extended warranty on my car - it's a 2011 F25 X3 2.0 diesel SE model with 53K miles on the clock.
This sounds as if it might be a type fault?
Any comments anyone?
They changed the transfer box under warranty. A year later I got rid of the car.. had a 5 series for 18 months.. just ordered a new x3, miss the high up driving experience.

Thunder Rumbles Past B-Mets, 5-0
Puello extends hitting streak to 13
By Tim Heiman / Binghamton Mets | May 6, 2013 6:22 PM ET
TRENTON, NJ - The Binghamton Mets were held to two hits and Cory Mazzoni was tagged for five runs in a 5-0 loss to the Trenton Thunder Monday night at Arm & Hammer Park. The B-Mets suffered their third shutout loss of the year and matched a season-low in hits.
Mazzoni made his first start in more than a month after missing 24 games due to right elbow neuritis. Trenton wasted little time to welcome him back. In the first inning they sent eight men to the plate, collected three hits and took advantage of an error to hang a crooked number.
After the Thunder started the frame with two hits, Tyler Austin supplied a sac fly. With a runner on third, J.R. Murphy sent a chopper back to the mound. Mazzoni fielded cleanly and threw to third, but Josh Rodriguez muffed the throw, allowing Jose Pirela to dive back safely. The misplay led to three unearned runs on Mazzoni's tab when Slade Heathcott chipped in with an RBI groundout and Reegie Corona laced a two-run single to centerfield.
Trenton added to their lead in the third. Murphy led off with a double, one of three extra-base hits allowed by Mazzoni in the game, and scored on a single up the middle by Heathcott.
Binghamton could not solve Trenton starter Matt Tracy (3-2). The southpaw baffled the B-Mets and took a no-hitter into the sixth inning. Darrell Ceciliani finally broke up the no-hit bid with a one-out single. The hit snapped a stretch of 12 straight B-Mets retired by Tracy.
He exited with one out in the seventh after collecting a season-high nine strikeouts. Aaron Dott retired the final two batters in the seventh and Branden Pinder struck out four over two scoreless innings to close out the game.
Mazzoni (0-1) exited after allowing a leadoff single in the fourth. He allowed five runs (two earned) on seven hits in the losing effort. Shawn Teufel kept the Thunder off the board and chewed up three innings, while Adam Kolarek closed Binghamton's pitching tab with two scoreless frames.
The B-Mets (16-15) continue their series against the Thunder Tuesday night at 7:05 PM. RHP Rafael Montero gets the ball for Binghamton against RHP Jose Ramirez. The Horizons Federal Credit Union Pregame Show begins at 6:50 PM on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
POSTGAME NOTES: Bighamton was held to two hits for the second time in five games…Binghamton stranded nine runners…Cesar Puello extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a single in the seventh inning

1,001 things you should know about
O'Donnell '86
Phyllis Hanlon
inspirational quote from Winston Churchill and recent family
pictures share wall space with an aerial photograph of New
York, copies of several 97-year-old newspaper clippings of
the General Slocum steamship disaster and an Irish flag.
An obstacle course of books, magazines, folders and other
papers greets visitors to Ed O'Donnell's newly occupied office
in Holy Cross' history department. After a 15-year absence,
this Massachusetts native is already firmly re-established
on familiar turf. The intervening years have brought him
a wife, four daughters, a Ph.D. and an enthusiasm for all
things historical, particularly if tied to the Irish, which
has led to a teaching position at his alma mater and publication
of his writing.
From the time he first experienced an afternoon of football
fever in the early '80s-the Holy Cross/Boston College rivalry
was at its peak in those days-O'Donnell knew he was destined
to wear the purple and spend his college days on St. James
hill. Planning to follow in his father's footsteps, he enrolled
in the premed program but soon ran into a major stumbling
block. "I was gung ho until I failed chemistry in my
first semester," he says. "Of course, that was
probably due in part to a vigorous social schedule as well
as the fact that I wasn't all that good in science." The
following year, he decided to tackle the science course once
again; a mediocre grade prompted a shift in thinking.
In his quest for an alternate direction, O'Donnell found
himself in a history seminar with Rev. Anthony Kuzniewski,
S.J. "That was an eye-opening, wonderful experience," he
says. "In that course, I discovered I was a pretty good
writer." At that point, he decided that a career as
a history professor and author held more appeal than a vocation
in medicine.
In addition to Fr. Kuzniewski, O'Donnell credits several
other professors at Holy Cross with providing encouragement
and motivation. William A. Green and Ross W. Beales, Jr.
of the history department strongly influenced his decision
to pursue a degree in that subject. Currently involved in
campus ministry and Student Programs for Urban Development
(SPUD), a community service organization, O'Donnell notes
that Rev. Robert E. Manning, S.J., and Rev. William E. Reiser,
S.J., laid the groundwork for his deep commitment to the
For the last 13 years, he and his wife, Stephanie Yeager
'86, a New York native, have lived in Manhattan with their
four daughters. The Big Apple held a certain charm and plenty
of opportunity, of which O'Donnell always managed to take
advantage. Working at Hunter, a city university system school
in Manhattan, he faced the challenge of a huge student population
that was generally unprepared for the rigors of learning. "The
school colors are purple and white like Holy Cross," he
says. "That's where the similarities end." Teaching
ethnic urban history, O'Donnell spent as much time honing
writing skills as he did conveying his intended subject. "It
was great work, rewarding," he says. "But you didn't
feel like you reached the number of students you wanted to."
After six years at Hunter, O'Donnell became a tenured associate
professor. However, long hours-as many as 100 per week-were
taking their toll. He longed to spend more time with his
growing family, and the urge to write was calling. Early
in 2000, he resolved to land a book contract or a new job
by year's end. He missed his goal, but only by two months.
On Feb. 8, 2001-a date etched into his memory-both his wishes
were granted.
That winter day brought an offer from Holy Cross to fill
the position of associate professor in the history department.
O'Donnell still wears a look of incredulity at his good fortune
to be back at his alma mater. "It's exceedingly rare
that an alum gets to come back and teach here. It's a million
to one shot," he says. "Two hundred people apply
when a job opens up. It's usually ridiculous to think you'd
be chosen to fill an open position. I am astonished to be
here." Although he and his wife had always planned to
return to the area, he shakes his head at the reality of
the dream. "It's still a process of moving from unbelievable
to believable," he says.
Lady luck continued to smile on O'Donnell as the long sought-after
book contract arrived in the mail. Seeing bookshelves lined
with volumes targeting Jewish, African-American, women and
other specific niche groups, O'Donnell hatched the idea for
an Irish book. "I wrote a proposal with 25 sample items
and sent it off to the man who would eventually be my agent," he
says. Time passed and day-to-day living distracted him while
the project slipped into the background. Strolling through
a book display at a history convention a while later, passion
for his book project was re-ignited. A quick call to the
publisher brought a contract within four weeks. Scheduled
for publication in early spring 2002, 1001 Things Everyone
Should Know about Irish-American History, provides details
about ancient Celtic lore and clarification of Irish myth
to inside information on Irish politicians and entertainment
figures and much more in between.
The years he spent living in New York opened O'Donnell's
eyes to the rich history around him and prompted him to explore
some of the more interesting local events. His research into
the story of the General Slocum, a steamship that burst into
flames while on a pleasure outing on the East River, led
to another book, scheduled for publication in the next couple
of years. The disaster claimed the lives of 1,021 German
immigrants and surpassed the casualties of the 1911 Triangle
Shirtwaist factory fire, even though locals soon forgot the
ship's blaze. "This story fell out of people's memory," he
says. His book details the events of that fateful day and
explores the reasons why such a tragedy took place. "New
York has dozens more stories like this," he says.
O'Donnell's thesis, a biography titled Henry George
for Mayor! Irish Nationalism, Labor Radicalism & Independent
Politics in Gilded Age New York City, will also be
published sometime in 2002. According to O'Donnell, the
manuscript requires a bit more polishing.
To add to his literary success, O'Donnell is a regular contributor
to the Irish Echo, the only national Irish-American weekly
newspaper. Since June 2000, he has written a column called
the "Hibernian Chronicle," which spotlights relatively
unknown or forgotten historic Irish individuals who have
made a contribution to the world. Some of his column ideas
stem from reader suggestions, and others he discovers through
his own reading efforts.
Although moving from a huge city like New York to the countryside
of Holden-"There are no wild turkeys in Manhattan," he
says-has been a bit of culture shock, O'Donnell emphasizes
the change was well worth it. "Lifestyle and opportunity-wise
what this job offers compensates for any culture shock," he
says. He and his wife agree that the years they spent at
Holy Cross played a critical role in shaping the people they
are today. "Attending Holy Cross was a formative experience
in our lives," he says. "It's miraculous that we
found our way back here."

At the same time, if the wedding is big enough and the budget is at least over £2000.00, we will be more than happy to look at designing wedding flowers outside of London. After all, we have already done so and have dressed churches and event halls in wedding flowers in cities such as Oxford, Manchester, Liverpool and even Edinburgh. Flower Station also has a good history of designing flowers internationally and many of our florist shop's loyal customers have asked and we have obliged always with wedding flowers in 'slightly' far away areas such as Croatia, Miami, New York and Barbados even.

We would be more than happy to answer any of your queries and at the very least we will tray and point you in the right direction.

The course is pretty nice, rolling hills, some water hazards, fairly wide fairways. The best thing about this course is the expansive driving range. Three tiers of close to 100 yards each with enough levels that are rotated frequently enough that you can always find a clean spot to hit off.
Sadly that's where the enjoyment ends. The "clubhouse" is a doublewide mobile home trailer, probably put there when the course opened, with a wood deck that hasn't seen maintenance in quite some time.
They purport to have 7-minute tee intervals, something I've never once experienced here (I've time the longest at 5-minutes).
Go here for driving and putting practice, golf here only if you have patience for being pushed by the group behind you no matter what your level of play is.

Among the emerging market countries, power consumption in Brazil is projected to rise significantly in the next few years. The population of the country is expected to increase from 192 million to 204 million by 2013. Accordingly electric power consumption is forecast to rise by 10%. The government is also expanding the Luz Para Todos (Light For All) program to provide electricity to more families. By the end of this year, the program will supply electricity to 3.4 million families.
In November 2009, the country's 26 states experienced a major blackout. Since that time, due to rising income levels and low unemployment power consumption has been increasing steadily. Currently hydro power is the major source of electricity generation in Brazil. Due to drought and other risks, the country may increase its dependence on coal and nuclear power in the future. The world's second largest dam, Itaipú dam, produces hydroelectric power plant that straddles the border between Brazil and Paraguay supplies 50% of the electricity in Brazil. There are only two nuclear power plants in the country.
Brazil's Sources of Electricity Generation

Electricity Consumption Per Capita in BRIC countries
Investors looking to pick up emerging market utility stocks may consider the following Brazilian electric utilities for the reasons mentioned above:
1. Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras (NYSE:EBR)
- Current Dividend Yield: 1.90%
2. Companhia Energetica de Minas Gerais (NYSE:CIG)
- Current Dividend Yield: 2.43%
3. Aes Tiete SA (OTCPK:AESAY)
- Current Dividend Yield: 13.53%
4. CPFL Energia (NYSE:CPL)
- Current Dividend Yield: 7.85%
In addition to electricity generation and distribution, Companhia Energetica de Minas Gerais (CIG) is also engaged in the distribution of natural gas and has operations in Chile as well. The largest private sector power company CPFL Energia S.A. (CPL) has about 6.6 million customers and it plans to expand its wind energy business.

Like the British, the American troops had been confused, disobedient and they deserted. But when American Gen. Israel Putnam brought this complaint to Col. William Prescott, commander of the rebel forces, the brilliant young colonel was in no mood for excuses. He knew that hundreds of Putnam's disorganized reinforcements had been milling around on nearby Bunker Hill, only 600 yards from the battle, and might have saved the day.
Instead, while Prescott's desperate men were running out of ammo, firing nails or bits of metal they scavenged off the ground, Putnam could hear the battle raging and didn't join it.
Now, after the fact, Prescott reminded the general of his promise to serve as a backup. "Why," the colonel demanded, "did you not support me, General, with your men?"
"I could not drive the dogs up," Putnam replied.
"If you could not drive them up," Prescott told him, "you might have led them up."
Lesson: Want history to judge you kindly? Don't hang back.

text: Plus, by paying taxes on the money now, at today's relatively low rates, you lower the amount of your estate. For details on the pros and cons of conversion, go here. Promises, promises: The real issue is not the current rules, but the future rules. What if the government reneges on its promise to make future Roth withdrawals tax-free? That's not unprecedented. Ask seniors who counted on receiving tax-free income from municipal bonds how they feel about having that income added back to their "modified adjusted gross income" to determine how much of their Social Security check is subject to taxes. Or ask seniors with higher incomes how they feel about paying twice the Medicare premiums, even though high earners paid more in Medicare taxes over the years. As you sit down to consider the numbers, these nagging worries may make you think twice about doing that Roth conversion. Future tax-free withdrawals (made at least five years after conversion) are tempting. But writing a huge check to the government next year might be even more painful than those long-term promised benefits. Yes, this is a complicated decision. That's why it's important to discuss it with your tax adviser. And if you can't come down on one side or the other, you can always convert a portion of your IRA. That way you'll never have complete regrets about your decision. And that's the Savage Truth.
