ROME, MARCH 31, 2008 (Zenit.org).- The priest is
not an employee, but rather a consecrated person
chosen by God to serve mankind, says the secretary for
the Congregation for Clergy.Archbishop Mauro Piacenza
described the priesthood in this way in L´Osservatore
Romano earlier this month. "The priest
cannot be plentifully fulfilled if the Eucharist is not truly
the center and the root of his life,"
the prelate said, affirming that the priest´s daily
efforts must be an "irradiation of the Eucharistic celebration."As the Gospel account of Christ´s washing of
the feet testifies, the priest´s task is found
in unconditional surrender, Archbishop Piacenza said. "The priest does not
belong to himself. He is at the service
of the people of God without limits of
schedules or calendars.""The people are not for the
priest, but the priest is for the people,
in its totality, without ever restricting his service
to a small group," the prelate added. "The priest cannot
choose the post he likes, the work methods
he considers easiest, the people he considers most
likable, the schedule that is most comfortable, the diversions --
even legitimate ones -- when they take away
time and energy from his own specific pastoral
mission."Moreover, even acting in the world, the priest
is nevertheless not "assimilated in the world […]
ceasing to be transforming leaven," Archbishop Piacenza continued.
"Faced with a world anemic from the lack
of prayer and adoration, of truth and justice, the priest
is above all a man of prayer, of
adoration, of worship, of the celebrations of the holy mysteries,
´before man in the name of Christ.´"A testimonyThe Vatican official said the
priest´s commitment is "testimony, understood in its etymological
sense as martyr […] in the renewed consciousness that Christ,
ordinarily, comes to us only ´in the´ Church
and ´from the´ Church, which prolongs his presence
in time."The Church, he said, is "transcendent and
mysterious" and "only if it does not deny
its own supernatural identity […] can it authentically
evangelize the ´natural´ realities. […] The Church has the
´negative´ task of freeing the world of atheism and
the ´positive´ [task] of satisfying the indelible need
that man, consciously or unconsciously, has of fulfilling
himself, that is to say, of holiness."For this,
the priest should "respond to the burning thirst
of a humanity always seeking," and to sow
a restlessness that is "the holy fear of God."At the same time, Archbishop Piacenza added, the
current vocational crisis can be served by opening
the "vast horizons of the whole picture of following Christ,"
while attempts to reduce the identity of the
priest and pastoral ministry brings "everything to languish
along the path of a progressive drying out."It
is the light of the configuration of the
priest with Jesus Christ that helps to understand
the promises of obedience and chastity lived in celibacy, in
the commitment to a path of detachment from
things, situations and from themselves, he said.At the altarThe archbishop highlighted that "chastity
guarantees the spousal dimension and the great paternity" and
recalled that "in all of this there are
not ´no´s´ but a great, liberating ´yes.´""The
priest never goes into identity crisis, nor loneliness, nor
cultural frustration if, resisting the temptation of losing
himself in the anonymous multitude, he never descends
-- regarding intention, moral uprightness and style -- from the
platform of the altar of the sacrifice of
the body and blood of Christ," the archbishop
contended.Nevertheless, he acknowledged, faced with "an ever
more notable disintegration of the links between persons, in
every social environment […] we cannot think that
the figure of the celibate priest will not
suffer the backlash of these countless solitudes."For this,
the archbishop concluded, there is a "need of
priests who know how to show the fruitfulness
for communion and for the community of their virginal ´solitude.´"

WHEN Tom Reed takes his first steps on to the Commonwealth Games mat in Glasgow tomorrow, he will have an extra spring in his step as he looks to put on a show for his nearest and dearest.
Although an experienced international, Reed has rarely been handed the chance to compete at the highest level in front of parents Dave and Julie, but that is all set to change when the Wiltshire star fights for England in the U81kg category at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) Precinct.
Reed, who claimed his first IJF (International Judo Federation) World Tour win at last year's Miami Grand Prix, missed out on a place in the Great Britain team for the London 2012 Olympics but says that the Commonwealths nevertheless hold a special place in his heart.
"The Olympics in London were something that myself and my family were looking forward to ever since they were announced but when I missed out, my parents were just as disappointed as I was," said Reed.
"I don't think that this makes up for the Olympics – nothing ever could – but it's still a massive tournament for me and it's great that my parents will be there.
"I'm always competing abroad and it's been such a long time since they've had the chance to watch me, so I'm looking forward to them being there.
"Judo isn't a core sport at the Commonwealths and the last time it was there was in 2002, when I was 16. I remember watching it on television and it was one of those moments that was quite inspirational for me because you don't usually get to see judo on television. Things have come full circle now."
Devizes Budo Club member Reed, who has trained with Team Bath since 2002, when the Commonwealth Games in Manchester sparked a fire in his belly, is currently placed 45th in the IJF world rankings but has no qualms about declaring himself one of the favourites for the U81kg gold medal.
With Scottish Olympian Euan Burton now playing his trade in the 100kg category, England's Reed is delighted that he won't have to face up to a hostile home crowd in his weight class.
Handed a bye in the last 32 round, Reed will face either Cameroon's Eric Jean Omgba Fouda or India's Vikender Vikender Singh in the last 16.
He said: "I'm feeling good and it's all going to be about how I perform on the day.
"I'm going there to win it because I think I'm one of the best in the class but nothing is ever a certainty because judo is just so hard to predict. I think I'll have to watch out for the Canadians and the African players can also throw up a few surprises and be dangerous.
"It's going to be weird coming up against people you're used to competing with for Great Britain but I'm lucky that there aren't any Scots in my category.
"I know it's almost like a home Games for us but I think the atmosphere will be completely different when it's England vs Scotland.
"It's a knockout competition and it's all going to be over in one day so I just want to make sure that I've got no regrets. Hopefully I can do well and then relax and enjoy taking in the experience of the Commonwealth Games for another week after that."

Ryan begins six weeks of radiation treatment
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Twins general manager Terry Ryan, who underwent surgery to remove a cancerous lump from his neck on Feb. 11, began radiation treatment on Thursday, according to assistant general manager Rob Antony.
Ryan, 60, was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in early February after a lump was found in a lymph node in his neck. He underwent surgery at the Mayo Clinic and was released from the hospital three days later.
He'll receive radiation treatment for the next six weeks, according to Antony, who spoke with Ryan on the phone on Thursday.
"I talked to him today and he sounded good," Antony said. "He said he felt pretty good."
Ryan has been feeling good enough to work some days from his office at Target Field, but Antony said it's too early to know if Ryan will be in Chicago for Opening Day on March 31, when the Twins play the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field.
"He hasn't talked about any of that," Antony said. "I think he's being careful not to want to put timetables on things or make too many plans, because he doesn't know how he's going to feel or how the treatment will affect him."

Digital Video Log - Tips and Tricks
- Background
- How to use the Digital Video Log
- How to use the Display Images feature
- How to use the Play Images feature
- How to read the Milepoint Log
- Update Cycles
- How to print from the Digital Video Log
- How to save an image from the Digital Video Log
The Digital Video Log (DVL) is a pictorial record of state highway system from a driver's perspective. The DVL consists of digital images taken every hundredth of a mile. Most of the highways were driven in the right lane with a single camera mounted in the center of the vehicle. DVL seasons run from May 1 – April 30 each year. The shoulders and side conditions of the road are visible, though the perspective may be skewed a bit. Most people find they can get information about road conditions, shoulder width, etc. from the DVL.
The DVL proceeds from mile point zero to the end of the highway. You can reverse the direction (end of highway to mile point zero) with the Increasing Mile Points and Decreasing Mile Points radio buttons. By using these two radio buttons you can view the highway in both directions of travel.
How to Use the Digital Video Log
Click on, "Click Here to Begin" to activate the Digital Video Log.
Choose from the following options on the next screen. Keep in mind that the default settings are the most commonly used.
Note: This page has 6 numbered choices. It is likely that you will only need to adjust the [1] Highway Number and [5] Starting Milepoint. Here are discriptions of what these numbered choices are:
[1] Highway – The highways are listed by the official ODOT highway number (not the route number found on maps). Choose any available highway from the drop down menu. To find the official ODOT Highway Number Use the State Highway Cross Reference: (http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/TD/TDATA/otms/Route_Hwy_CrossRef.shtml) The list of available highways is based on the criteria selected in the fields 2, 3 and 4.
[2] Road Type – Accept the default – Highways.
[3] Mileage Type – Accept the defaults this is an internal code and is of no use or concern to the lay user.
[4] Season – The Digital Video Log will automatically default to the most current images for your chosen highway, and will list other available years in the Season pull down list.
[5] Starting Milepoint – This will default to the beginning milepoint for the chosen highway and year, but you may choose a different starting milepoint from the pull down list, or enter a milepoint in the entry field. East-West roads "begin" (mile point zero) in the West. North-South roads "begin" in the North. I-5 is an exception. It "begins" at the California border.
[6] Direction – The DVL is taped in both traffic directions, so images may be viewed in either Increasing or Decreasing Milepoint direction. The increasing milepoint is the default direction.
Choose one of the following to start viewing images:
Display Image button – This will display the images on the same screen as the milepoint DVL for the highway, and will allow the user to scroll through images one at a time. (See below for more information about this feature.)
Play Images button – Allows you to play the images of your selected highway consecutively. (See below for further information about how to use this feature.)
Reset – Resets all fields on the page back to the default settings.
How to Use Display Image
Larger images - Once the video image is displayed, you can: increased the size of the image by clicking directly on the image.
Select New Highway - back to highway selection screen to choose different highway or change options.
Increment – The images will change by increments of 0.01 mile by default, but you can change the Increment Amount. For example, entering 10 in the increment box will change the frame by 0.10 mile and 100 will change the frame by 1.00 mile.
Increasing / Decreasing – You can choose to view the highway in either increasing or decreasing milepost direction by clicking the appropriate direction button.
<<< – Moves to the previous image by increment amount.
>>> – Moves to the next image by increment amount.
Play Images – Goes to the Play Image tool where the images are played automatically.
Home – Returns to the DVL home page.
Milepoint Log – The milepoint log that corresponds to the year of the images is displayed at the bottom of the screen. You can scroll through the log to look for a particular feature, like a city's name or a side street. You can jump directly to the image of a specific milepoint by clicking the shaded milepoint button in the milepoint log below the image. See below for more detailed instructions for reading the milepoint log.
How to Use Play Images
Use this feature to play images of the selected highway consecutively. This works much like a VCR, with play, pause and rewind.
Increment - The images will change by increments of 0.03 mile by default, but you can change the Increment Amount. For example, entering 10 in the increment box will change the frame by 0.10 mile and 100 will change the frame by 1.00 mile. To change the increment amount, select a new increment from the pull down list.
Select New Highway - Goes back to highway selection screen where you can choose a different highway or change options for the same highway (such as choose a different year).
||<<< – Jumps to the beginning of the highway. You will need to select Play or Rewind after clicking on this choice.
|<<< – Jumps to the start of the currently selected images (+/
Single Image – Goes to the Display Image page.
Home – Goes to the DVL home page.
Increase / Decrease MP – Click on selection – then click on Play or Rewind
Starting MP – Click on selection – then click on Play or Rewind
Increment – Changes increment between each image.
Play Speed – The default play speed is 1 image every 1 second. You can choose between .25 – 5 seconds / image.
Mileage Log – Clicking on the Mileage Log button will open up a new window with a corresponding milepoint log. You can scroll through the log to look for a particular feature, and jump directly to the image of a specific milepoint by clicking the shaded milepoint button.
How to read the Milepoint Log
Roadside features on the state highway system change regularly. With this in mind, the DVL displays the milepoint log that matches the year the pictures were taken.
The Milepoint log displays the following information for each milepoint:
Rdwy ID (Roadway ID) - This number identifies the alignment on which this milepoint exists. Rdwy ID 1 is the increasing mileage direction for traffic and Rdwy ID 2, the decreasing mileage traffic direction. The exception being Hwy. 001 (I-5), on which Rdwy 1 (southbound) is the decreasing mileage direction. Don't even pay attention to this feature. It's an internal coding system of no consequence to the lay user.
Mlge Type (Mileage Type) - Z = overlapping, Y = Spur, T = Temporary Don't even pay attention to this feature. It's an internal coding system of no consequence to the lay user.
Ovlap Cd (Overlap Code) – Used with 'Z' mileage only. The milepoint overlapping code indicates the sequential order in which 'Z' mileage was added to a highway. See comment under Mlge Type above.
Milepoint – A number that represents the distance in miles from the original beginning of the highway. This distance, measured along the contours of the traveled roadway, is derived from construction plans and field inventory.
Dup (Duplicate) – A number of 10, 20, etc. in this column indicates multiple features at the same milepoint and engineering station.
Roadway Codes – These codes indicate the direction (left or right) and jurisdiction of intersecting roads, culverts, structures, boundaries, etc. (The codes have been omitted from these instructions for brevity.)
Update Cycles
Approximately one half of the state highway system is taped annually, with emphasis on Interstate and US routes. The annual Video Log seasons run from May 1 to April 30. The highway milepoint log report is a snapshot of data from the Integrated Transportation Information System (ITIS) database. A yearly snapshot is taken at the beginning of the taping season in May.
How to print from the Digitial Video Log
To print the whole page as seen on your computer screen including the menu, image and beginning of the milepoint log on one page – change to landscape mode under File/Print/Preferences. Then choose "As laid out on screen" under Options/Print Frames/OK.
To print just the menu, the image or the milepoint log alone – first click in the section you want, then click File/Print/"Only the selected frame" under Options/Print Frames/Print.
To print everything, but each on a different page – click on File/Print/"All frames individually" under Options/Print Frames/OK.
To print only a selected portion of the milepoint log – highlight the section of the milepoint log wanted, click on File/Print/Change from "All" to "Selection" under Print Range/OK.
How to save an image from the Digital Video Log
- Right click on the image.
- Click on "Save Picture as".
- Go to the drive/folder you want the image saved in.
- Name the file.
- Choose to save it as a .jpg file.
- Click Save.
To view the .jpg file, either double click on the file name, or open the file from within Microsoft Photo Editor or other similar graphics program.

Left Knee
I am a 36 year old female. Sept 2010 I suddenly fell while riding my bicycle. There were small wounds on both knees but it did not bother me much. Jan2011-Feb2011 I was on vacation and during the vacation I could feel left knee pains in the same place where I got hurt.
After I was back from the vacation I went to my doc, she referred me to a Reumatologist. I had to wait 3 months to be seen in by the Reumatologist. During these three months my pain got worse. Today the pain is so much worse in the whole leg that I am using crutches.
My everyday life is affected. I am lying in bed all day. It is so difficult to be in bed all day. I have always been active all my life. But even if I stand on my feet for an hour in the kitchen to make food for my children my leg starts hurting, my knee is inflamed. My hamstring feels like burning all the time. If I try to walk too much my ankle and hip would start hurting. I was checked last year for arthritis by blood samples and a CT scan was also done in Nov 2010. But there was no sign of arthritis and it showed that I have no bone disease.
I have seen the Reumatologist today, who after scanning my knee, says that he cant see anything related to arthritis. And has now sent me for a MRI. He thinks the meniscus might be torn. I am very much worried. I want to know if I will ever be better again if my meniscus is torn. Can it be fixed? I am worried I will never be able to be normal again. Please help!!!
A torn meniscus is either repaired or removed through an arthroscopic surgery. If your MRI confirms a torn meniscus, I suggest you make an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon who focuses on knee surgeries. A meniscus tear does not heal on it's own so it is important to receive treatment. Most people have a successful outcome with a surgical intervention.

Top Ten Lenders
11:02am Saturday 28th June 2014
11:02am Saturday 28th June 2014
PAYING off your mortgage before you reach 60 has become merely a distant dream for many homeowners according to new Equifax research by YouGov.
Online credit information provider Equifax assessed the outlook of current homeowners who have a mortgage, finding that over a third (36 percent) expected to be older than they had originally planned by the time they pay off their mortgage.
Most (23 percent) expected to be between 61-65 years old when they were finally mortgage free.
One in ten (11 percent) expect to be between 66 and 70 before completing mortgage payments.
The latest research also provides a snapshot of the sacrifices people will make in order to secure their 'dream' home as the impact of new mortgage affordability rules sinks in.
Although recent focus has been on first time buyers, those looking to buy their second or third home will also face strict affordability tests before they can move on.
Among those second and third time home movers, a quarter (26 percent) would be willing to take on the stress of a new job with a higher wage to secure the finance for their dream home. And almost a quarter (23 percent) said they would borrow the maximum amount available to them.
One in three (31 percent) homeowners surveyed said they would be prepared to cut back on general living expenses for at least six months, and 49 percent were willing to tighten the purse strings over luxury living expenses to buy a home.
Over half (56 percent) would reduce the amount of time spent with friends and socialising, and just over half (53 percent) would also cut back on retail therapy for at least six months to be able to afford a new mortgage.
Andrew Webb, sales and marketing director of Equifax Personal Solutions said: "With new housing stock limited, it is vital for homeowners to continue to move up the property ladder in order to free up smaller homes for first time buyers.
"But they must be in a strong financial position to do so. The fact that, according to the research we commissioned, many homeowners recognise the importance of cutting back on their lifestyle spending, including holidays and socialising, is promising in terms of managing their future affordability."

Harwinton House rehabilitation project is moving along
Published 12:00 am, Wednesday, December 26, 2012
Harwinton >> Positive actions to move along with reconstructing the famous Harwinton House were discussed at the Harwinton House Building Committee meeting on Dec. 19.
Along with representatives from the building committee and Harwinton Historical Society, Carol Bramley from Greater Litchfield Preservation Trust and First Selectman Mike Criss also attended the joint meeting as a way for everyone involved in the reconstruction of the house to follow through with creating a year round facility that will be an asset to the community.
Criss read a letter written by the Board of Selectmen stating that the Building Committee should focus on just getting the house up, while also anticipating the uses planned by the Historical Society in order to get the site and utilities right.
"This project and its success are really dependent on funding and how much the Historical Society and the town can raise," he said.
Donations to help rebuild the House have been $615 given to the town and $25,000 pledged by the Historical Society with $70,000 left in a STEAP grant. $80,000 of the grant money was used to transport the boxed house from Fairfield to Harwinton.
The funds needed to build a main house with a new heating system and bathroom will cost the town between $300,000 and $400,000.
The committee decided to define stages of the project and undertake what it can afford. The grants from GLPT and Connecticut Preservation Trust will fund the recently hired Amaya Architect to explore future plans and outline options.
The grant from GLPT, if successfully matched by CT Preservation Trust, will add $23,000 to the funds raised. Once approval from the CPT is received, GLPT will advance half of their commitment, $12,500, with the other half to be funded upon the Building Committee's completion of the work in the application.
A recent appeal by the Historical Society also collected $4,745, $1,015 of it designated for the Harwinton House and $3,210 for either the House or the Historical Society.
The Building Committee is also looking to acquire a Historic Preservation Technical Assistance Grant to also help fund the rebuilding. As the pre-application was approved, the formal application for assistance is due by Feb. 1.
Desperate efforts to save Harwinton House, a house built off Blueberry Hill Road in 1795 and then moved to New Canaan in 1931, began two years ago when the town found out that the house's then-owners applied for a demolition permit to tear it down.
The Harwinton House Building Committee was then formed as an ad hoc committee and town liaison for the disassembly, transport, and reconstruction of the Harwinton House on town owned land. Their ultimate goal and purpose is to restore the house to its natural state as it sat in Harwinton in 1795.
"The Harwinton Historical Society will finally have a year round place where they can hold their seminars and classes, show off Harwinton's Heritage and continue to educate the public about the history of Harwinton," said Criss.
The first meeting with Amaya Architect is scheduled for the Harwinton House Building Committee's next meeting on Jan.16.

I am using NI PCI 5640R IF RIO. I use LabVIEW FPGA 2010 in Windows7 with the driver NI 5640R version 1.5 . I'm just trying to run the Example codes which came along with the Driver.
I find that I am able to run only the example project titled "ni5640R Singe Tone Output". When I run the host VI, I observe the expected analog signals from the output ports. But I'm not able to run any other example given along with this driver.
So, when I run the project titled "ni5640 Analog Input", I get an error message as "Invalid Calibration"....
and when I run the project titled "ni5640 Analog Input", I get an error message as "Readback value does not match the written value"....
I have attached the snapshots of the error messages. Kindly take a look at it. Also, I have attached the example codes that I'm using.
It would be great if anyone can point out my mistake or suggest a workaround.
My ultimate goal is to send and receive data via the ports using NI 5640R.
We are looking into your problem.
A few questions:
I have an possible idea on what might be causing the ADC readback error. Try the following experiment:
1) Make sure LabVIEW is completely closed.
2) Navigate to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\instr.lib\ni5640R\Configuration\NI-5640R VIs\subVIs (if you are on a 64bit OS then it will be "Program Files x86")
3) Backup or rename "ni5640R ADC 05 - Soft Sync.vi"
4) Copy the attached version into that folder
5) Open and run the "Analog Input and Output" example again.
This will not fix the calibration data issue, but it might fix the ADC readback issue.
Let me know how it goes.
With regards to the calibration error, please unzip and run the attached Cal Checker VI and post back a screenshot of the Front Panel results.
Hello Dsangree,
Thanks for the reply.
This is an old board. It was used few years ago and it was working fine then.
I am using DELL studio laptop. I connect the board using a box that connects 4 PCI slots to laptop via Express Card /54 slot.
I have tried the procedure you suggested. But still the ADC "Readback" problem persists.
Kindly let me know if there is anyother workaround.
So I think I know what is causing the calibration error, and the good news is that there is a simple workaround. Before you run the VI, deselect the "Apply ADC Calibration?" control, and for the input and output example, deselect both the "Apply ADC Calibration" and "Apply DAC Calibration" controls. This keeps the code that utilizes the Calibration data from running. After you have deselected the control(s), just run the VI.
The ADC readback issue is more elusive. That error simply means that when we tried to write to a register, then read it back, the value we got back from the register was not the same as what we had written. I wonder if a chip or something got knocked loose in the past few years. Also, we have not tested that particular laptop/PCI expansion box combination. Is it the same setup that was used in the past? I will talk with the Product Support Engineer about what your options are.
Have you use the exact same setup in the past (that particular laptop/PCI expansion box combination)?

With just weeks left in the year, the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) has said that its data indicates that 2012 will likely go down in the history as the hottest year on record for the contiguous United States.
According to a report by NBC News, experts at the NCDC say there is a 99.7 percent chance that this will happen. Considering that the first week of December has already been unseasonably warm, it would take an extreme temperature drop for the remainder of the year for 2012 to fall just short of the record.
"For 2012 not to be record warm, December would have to be unprecedented," Jake Crouch, scientist at the NCDC told NBC News. "December temperatures would need to be more than 1 degree F colder than the coldest December on record, which occurred in 1983."
The odds of such a cold December occurring are less than 0.3 percent. Read more from NBC News here.
The NCDC released its monthly "State of the Climate" report update on Thursday, which states that the average temperature from January to November was 57.1 degrees F. This is 1 degree F above the previous record set from January to November in 1934.
The report also mentioned this year has been the 12th driest on record for the Lower 48 with a precipitation total 3.08 inches below the long-term average of 26.91 inches. Currently, 62 percent of the continental U.S. is in moderate or worse drought. Read the full report here.
Many states are still reeling from the effects of this summer's heat wave and the relentless drought that has yet to lift. According to a report from The Chadron (Neb.) Record, the drought cost Nebraska's corn crop $240 million, and researchers at Oklahoma State University have estimated that drought losses in Oklahoma have already topped more than $400 million this year. If conditions don't improve soon, some experts believe that more than 25 percent of the country's winter wheat could be abandoned. Read more here.
Iowa State climate expert Elwynn Taylor expects below-trend corn yields again in 2013 for what could be the fourth straight year. Using a corn trend yield of 160 bushels per acre (bpa), Taylor sees 2013 yields at 147 bpa. Last year, the USDA estimated the drought-plagued corn to hit 122.3 bpa for 2012. Read, "Iowa State climate expert sees lower corn yields 2013."

I don't know how you expect Bender to be a post player? The key to being a post player isn't just height and long arms--- you have to be able to keep a guy behind you with your body mass, which Bender does not have. On the other hand, Bender can dribble for a non-point guard, is fast, and has a couple athletic spin moves that gets him to the basket while being guarded from the perimeter.Originally Posted by DisplacedKnick
This trade isn't as horrible as it is made out to be. Both guys are in contract years... Bender still has two years left. I don't really want to make the trade, but it's not like we are getting screwed. Bender has potential, but if he gets hurt next year, the only positive is that the 06-07 year is his final.
Yup - that's why it's pretty obvious that Bender was a bust. But if someone like KG can operate in the post there's always a chance - and nobody ever had a chance to find out.Originally Posted by BustedPants
What else would you try to do with a 7-foot player who couldn't defend a perimeter player to save his life, couldn't take the ball inside without either getting it stripped or being called for a charge, couldn't shoot from outside under pressure, and is 7' tall and can jump out of the building?
He certainly never had a chance of playing on the perimeter - not unless he developed enough of a post-up game to force other teams to use a PF on him.

On another note, Why should we give up our first round pick and Bender for George and Medvedenko? We are basically giving away our first round pick to get Benders contract off our hands. I personally would rather wait one last year on Bender and see if anything happens. After all, The guy holds the record for the most points scored in the High School all american game..Which doesn't tell you a ton..But it does tell you the guy definitely has crazy skills. So one more year, Then we dump Bender and give up on him.

Jeff Foster- The only reason that Jeff isn't a star is because he doesn't have the name or the high profile team. Let's face it, the Pacers aren't the Knicks, the Lakers, the Celtics, or even the 76ers for that matter. The Pacers just don't have the visible history or name to have anybody on the team to be considered a star.
Foster is an awesome rebounder, really the only word that can be used is awesome. He has great defense and shot blocking capabilities. The only problem, besides not being a high profile player, is he doesn't have quite the offensive consistency that one might see in a Shaq. Foster is a very Tim Duncan-esque player, he has all these great qualities, but will never get the recognition he deserves.
Life without water is tough, life without air is hard,life with one leg only is wobbly, Life without Reggie Miller, is impossible.

Hey guys,
I've just come across this forum after a quick Google and was wondering whether you could help me out.
I'm currently moving a WordPress site from a sub folder - located at www.tyisafbala.co.uk/WordPress/ - to its root domain.
I have followed this tutorial http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install but I seemed to have stumbled after point six. If I try to login to the WP admin panel I'm getting re-directed to here http://tyisafbala.co.uk/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Ftyisafbala.co.uk%2FWordPress%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
Can anyone help me out here?
Much appreciated!
maybe you have to check this line : require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php'); in your case it's should be :
I've just checked that but it looks fine to me. Within the index.php, yeah?
Ok, so you would try this : http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Within_Your_Site
Sorry, what exactly do I have to do here?
Anyone able to help?
Check the htaccess file, maybe theres a redirect or something in there??
You have to follow the steps... start from :
If you want to move WordPress to your root directory, make sure all index.php, .htaccess, and other files that might be copied over are backed up and/or moved, and that the root directory is ready for the new WordPress files.
I can't login to the WordPress dashboard though.
What I have done is change both the Site and Home URLs in the wp-config file to the root domain which has solved the links on-page but I still can't get to the Admin panel.
Just tried copying the wp-admin folder to the root domain to no avail.
Can I just go from Point 8 on that tutorial where it says "Move your WordPress core files to the new location. This includes the files found within the original directory, such as http://example.com/wordpress, and all the sub-directories, to the new location."
it's really important to add the new correct WordPress address (URI) and Site link URL... if you can't login, use PhpmyAdmin from your control panel, open your database and go to wp-options table : The first option is is for siteurl Then go to the next page of the table and check the home value. This should be the URL to the main site URL... save the table then try to get to the wp-admin ! because wehn i check your website all is good but you have to fixe this URI Mess...
Both the Site URL and WordPress Address have been changed in the wp-config - is it not just a case of moving the rest of the files from the sub folder to the root domain??
Looks to me like you've managed to do the transition. Are you still experiencing log in difficulties? Here's some help from the wordpress codex:http://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble they're actually pretty helpful.
Just check your Database using Phpmyadmin and make the changes... im sure it's the problem as You didn't Do that on the old Wordpress dashboard before moving the files to the root... just check the database because in your Website source i still see some urls like :
You have to update your database, make a backup before making changes and check what i said before...
I apologise for my ignorance or lack of understanding, but how do I access PhpMyAdmin?
PhpMyAdmin is included with "packaged" servers eg WAMP, XAMPP. If you installed Apache, MySQL and PHP individually you will need to install PhpMyAdmin (or you might prefer MySQL Workbench?) as well.
You've completely lost me there.
mea culpa
I was thinking of a localhost development server.
Many hosts have PhpMyAdmin for the database interface, but yours may not. If you log in to your host you should find something there as a way to access your database, no?
I don't have access to that through my Control Panel, no.
Ok so can you just tell us how you manage your website database!?

Choo, Phillips help revive offense; Leake struggles
Cincinnati tallies nine hits; starter surrenders four runs in three frames
WASHINGTON -- There were a few plays Saturday that left Reds right fielder Jay Bruce shaking his head.
There was Nationals center fielder Denard Span's leaping catch into the left-center-field wall in the sixth inning, which robbed Reds first baseman Joey Votto of what would have been a stand-up double. Or Span's sprinting grab on Zack Cozart's liner in the seventh, which also saved a run. Then there was the line drive in the ninth that was so perfectly aimed at shortstop Ian Desmond that he barely had to raise his glove to catch it.
"There's not really an explanation for it," Bruce said. "We hit the ball right at people. There were a couple balls today that could've changed the game. But that's, as they say, how the cookie crumbles."
The crumbs just didn't fall Cincinnati's way on a cool, sunny afternoon at Nationals Park. Shin-Soo Choo homered to right field in the sixth inning to give the slumping Reds a spark, but the Nationals got six strong innings from Dan Haren to send Cincinnati to its third straight loss, 6-3, before a crowd of 38,903. The Reds have now lost eight of their nine road games this season.
"We're getting better," manager Dusty Baker said. "That was a better game. We were two hits away -- had it not been for Span -- from tying that game up or even going ahead. ... Very rarely do you see two web gems in one game. But like I said, we're getting the barrel on the ball, so we're close. We're pretty close."
When the Reds last saw Haren on April 5, they hit four home runs over four innings and won in a blowout. He looked like a completely different pitcher on Saturday, allowing just six hits and two runs over six innings, with five strikeouts.
"That was more like him," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "[The Reds] are a good hitting club. You have to make pitches, and he made good pitches. I'm impressed. That [was] a good start."
While Haren was dealing, Reds righty Mike Leake had his worst start since Sept. 5 of last season. He gave up six hits and three earned runs over just three innings of work, walking three and striking out one. It was the shortest start by a Reds pitcher this season.
"Once I got ahead, they were kind of making me throw the pitch they wanted so I wasn't able to put them away, or I was getting behind," Leake said. "It was a combination of both: they had a good plan, and I wasn't attacking them completely."
Leake struggled with his command early and walked three of the first seven batters he faced. He walked Desmond and Anthony Rendon back-to-back in the second inning and watched his counterpart, Haren, loop a single to right field, scoring Desmond. The next batter, Span, also singled to drive in Rendon for a 2-0 lead.
The Reds finally scored a run in the fourth, their first in their last 17 innings of play. Votto doubled to the left-field corner and Brandon Phillips singled him home, one of his three hits on the afternoon.
"Sometimes, you can hit the ball hard and get no hits, and then you hit the ball soft and get a lot of hits," Phillips said. "All you can do is just roll with it, just take it how it is."
After making solid contact in his first two at-bats of the game, Choo homered off Haren in the sixth, depositing a 90-mph fastball into the right-field seats. The Reds scored again in the seventh, when pinch-hitter Todd Frazier hit a single to bring Bruce home. But ultimately, it was too little, too late.
Still, there were positives. The Reds' offense, which had collected just one hit in each of its past two games, accounted for nine hits and scored one more run that it totaled the past three games combined.
"We got more than one hit, we scored some runs. That's basically it," Phillips said. "When you lose, regardless of how many hits [you have] or whatever your team does, a loss is a loss."

The Gunners are reportedly in the market for a keeper this summer and, with moves for Asmir Begovic or Simon Mignolet looking too costly, attention has turned to the 28-year-old
The Gunners are reportedly in the market for another keeper, with Stoke's Asmir Begovic and Sunderland's Simon Mignolet rumoured to be on Arsene Wenger's wish list.
|Bet365 offer odds of 12/1 on Arsenal v Manchester United ending goalless
"We know Arsenal are looking [at Adler], but no one has contacted us yet," the 56-year-old told Bild.
Wenger's scouts have been watching Adler for some time, and comparisons have been made between the 28-year-old and legendary Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann.
Adler himself, meanwhile, is determined not to be fazed by all the transfer talk, although he admitted he is flattered by the attention.
"For any player it is an honour [to be targeted]," he said. "It is something that inspires me more, but it is not distracting me."

Visio users tend to do one of two things after creating their diagram—share it or present it to others. Both of these scenarios require your diagram to look visually appealing. So, unsurprisingly, one piece of feedback users continually told us was that they wanted to make professional and modern looking diagrams.
While Visio is used for a wide variety of reasons-everything from organization charts, to timelines, to work flows and floor plans-the goal of being able to effectively communicate your information in a visual way rings true for everyone. We previously told you how to create professional diagrams quickly with the new Visio, which gave you an overview of all the changes we've made and covered a few of the most highly requested features.
This week, we'll give you an overview of all of the changes we've made to Visio templates and shapes—what we call "content". Ultimately, when you combine the new Visio's new features with new content, it's easier than ever for you to produce professional and modern diagrams.
Goals for the new Visio and beyond
When we began designing new content for the new Visio 2013, we set the following three goals:
1. Great Looking Content: New content should be professional and modern. The goal was to create a timeless Visio style, by focusing on visuals that will look great now and look just as great in a decade. We recognize there is a tension, as making something too modern can sacrifice timelessness. Timelessness was the most important, so we prioritized content that will still look great in ten years over content that will look amazing now and dated in three years.
2. Fresh & Relevant: Visio's content should look fresh and relevant. This goal covered both visuals and which shapes are available to you. We wanted to make sure that our stencils have the shapes that reflect what you want to diagram today (e.g. all the modern network management components in our server shapes). Moreover, we wanted to make sure that the content looks like you expect a modern instance of that shape to look (e.g. today's typical smart phone looks very different now than it did 5 years ago).
3. Themes, Effects, & Quick Styles Support: The new themes, effects and quick styles needed to visibly affect and look great on our new content.
In total, 15 templates have been updated in the new Visio, along with brand new shapes, and all templates have been updated to take advantage of the new Visio's fresh themes, quick styles, and effects. Below are a handful of templates we'd like to highlight for you today that represent some of the content investments we've made this release.
Organization Charts
Organization Charts are one of the most popular diagram types in Visio, and as a result we made a big investment this release and created 10 brand new, unique Org Chart styles and over 60 new shapes.
So, what exactly are these new org chart styles? What sorts of benefits do they provide you in your diagram creation?
Org Chart styles are a brand new feature to the Org Chart template in the new Visio. The net result is that in a few clicks you can make org charts with incredibly varied styles that range from minimal to professional to hip to playful – whichever is appropriate for the personality of your team or organization.
Additionally, with the addition of automatic photo imports, we've made the use of pictures super easy as well.
We'll go into more detail on all of the specific Org Chart improvements in a future blog post, but for now just know that you can quickly and easily customize the entire look of your org chart in a single click by using the style gallery seen below.
Basic and Detailed Network
Our Network diagram templates (Basic Network and Detailed Network) were both updated with brand new shapes and modernized using Microsoft design principles.
A whole host of new shapes should give network diagrammers greater flexibility in visualizing the modern network-with new shapes such as wireless access points, smart phones, video phones, VOIP phones, tablets, and data centers.
Another goal was to modernize and bring greater clarity to the role of each network shape, while preserving their basic iconography that is globally recognized and generally accepted as standard by the networking industry.
For example, you'll notice on some of the new server shapes you see below, the most important semantic details of the shapes are now more visually prominent (e.g. the envelope on the Mail Server shape). This ultimately makes it easier to read large, complex diagrams where you may have a bunch of the same type of shape, such a servers.
Don't worry, though, the classic 3D network and workflow shapes were so popular and iconic that we couldn't take them out. So, you can still find them by searching or browsing through the template categories. Just look for the template with "3D" at the end of its title to find the classic version.
Timelines have been refreshed to take full advantage of all the new themes, effects, and quick styles that the new Visio has to offer.
New right-click menu options allow you to quickly and easily change timeline types, interim markings, and arrowheads. The result is timelines that are both professional and easy to read.
Just like Org Charts, we'll go into more detail on all of the specific Timeline improvements in a future blog post.
SharePoint 2013 Workflows
We created a brand new template and shapes to support SharePoint 2013 Workflows, and in the process visually revamped existing shapes to increase clarity, understanding, and recognition of the identifying icons that are attached to each shape.
In addition, with support for .Net 4.0 workflows, we added the concepts of Loops, Stages, and Steps which group together a set of actions and conditions into singular entities-similar to the existing Container feature that you may already be familiar with in Visio.
You can also now use the Visio editing interface from within SharePoint Designer to visually create, edit or add workflow parameters to your workflow and publish it to a SharePoint site.
We'll go into more detail on all of the specific SharePoint Workflow improvements in a future blog post.
UML and Database
The UML and Database diagrams have been expanded to a total of 9 templates that support many diagram types. Not only are these diagrams simpler and easier to build a diagram with, but the new shapes and formatting options make them look great as well.
We've chosen to move away from a restrictive dialog-driven approach, towards a template-driven approach. This provides you greater flexibility based on the diagram type you're trying to create by allowing you to quickly construct and edit the diagram directly on the drawing canvas.
Just like Org Chart, Timeline and SharePoint Workflow, we'll go into more detail on all of the specific UML and Database improvements in future blog posts.
Here is the full list of the diagram types we have for UML and Database diagrams in the new Visio:
- UML Activity Diagram
- UML Sequence Diagram
- UML State Diagram
- UML Static Structure Diagram
- UML Case Diagram
- UML Database Notation
- IDEF1X Database Notation
- Crow's Foot Database Notation
- Chen's Database Notation
We've updated the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) template to let you create diagrams based on the 2.0 standard. With the built-in validation rules you can ensure that your diagrams comply with BPMN specifications.
Of course, you'll also be able to continue to open and update your BPMN 1.2 diagrams as well.
There's also a new version of the Workflow diagram that shares the modern look. Like the network shapes, you'll find they can add flavor to other diagrams.
Don't worry, though, the classic 3D network and workflow shapes were so popular and iconic that we couldn't take them out. So, you can still find them by searching or browsing through the template categories. Just look for the template with "3D" at the end of its title to find the classic version.
Basic Diagram
The Basic Diagram template is a great toolkit to start a generic diagram or to use in an existing one, and we've updated it to give you a wider variety of attractive and useful shapes.
You'll be able to use the new Basic Diagram shapes to make quick drawings or add them to other diagrams to help illustrate your information.
We've added lots of new shapes, including decorative shapes, arrow shapes, graph and math shapes.
In Summary
We can't wait for you to start creating your own modern diagrams with the new Visio. Combined with all of our new themes, effects, and quick styles, this is the best set of Visio content we've ever produced.
To begin creating your own modern diagrams and experiencing all of the new content the new Visio has to offer, simply launch Visio and either search or browse for the template you want.
Once you've had a chance to explore, let us know which refreshed template or shapes you enjoy the most in the comments below.

Category: Lily Allen baby
Some stylish baby names in Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel's Nameberry 9.
When I heard that Lily Allen was expecting a second child, my heart skipped a beat.
I don't know Lily Allen. When her first baby arrived, I had to Google search to find out that she was a singer, and I'd never heard her sing until I headed to YouTube.
The British pop starlet turned television presenter made waves with her first daughter's name, Ethel Mary, and I've followed her ever since. She didn't disappoint with her second daughter's name, Marnie Rose.
What would you call Allen's style?
I'm thinking "So Retro it Hurts." She chooses great names that few of us have the guts to use – yet.
We classify names as traditional or modern, classic or trendy. But the truth is that everything goes when it comes names, and there are all sorts of styles and strategies to describe our approaches to naming children.

Tim Howard, Geoff Cameron and Brek Shea got most of the accolades, but RSL captain Kyle Beckerman was one of the U.S.'s best players in the Americans' historic 1-0 win at Mexico on Wednesday night.
Just how good was Captain Kyle? Let's dig in and find out.
According to Opta data on MLSsoccer.com, Beckerman completed 25 of 30 passes on Wednesday night, giving him a completion rate of 83.33 percent. His 25 passes completed was second on the U.S. team behind left back Edgar Castillo and his completion rate was fourth on the squad amongst players who attempted at least 20 passes.
And those passes weren't dinks and dunks, either. Beckerman hit just four backwards balls during the game - one of which, it should be noted, he put out of bounds for a Mexican corner kick - meaning he hit 26 passes up the field. One of those attacking passes helped set up the U.S. goal, with Beckerman slipping an inch-perfect ball past a sliding Mexican defender and to Shea on the left wing in the 80th minute to start the play that led to the Americans' tally. Oh, and he nearly scored one himself, too, just missing the top corner with an audacious long distance chip in the first half.
Beckerman also put in excellent work on the defensive side, leading the U.S. squad in both tackles won and interceptions, registering three of each.
Perhaps even better than his distribution and defensive work was Beckerman's solid positioning. I can't remember an instance in which the holding midfielder was caught out of position, providing solid cover in front of the back four – especially on the U.S.'s right side, where star Mexican winger Andres Guardado was operating – and pressuring the ball nicely out of the compact shell the American defense was in for much of the game.
But the part of Beckerman's game that impressed me the most on Wednesday night was how quick he was on the ball. One of the biggest criticisms of Kyle is that he's too slow on the ball – and too slow with his decisions – to be an effective international midfielder. His performance on Wednesday should – I repeat, should – put those critiques to bed. Beckerman was quick with his decisions all night, receiving the ball, picking his head up and finding a teammate in short order. He kept things moving far better than fellow center mid Jermaine Jones, who was nowhere near as good as Beckerman in possession at Estadio Azteca.
Congrats to Kyle for being a big part of history on Wednesday night. We'll likely see him suit up for the U.S. again – maybe alongside Michael Bradley? – when the Stars and Stripes take on Jamaica in a pair of World Cup Qualifiers next month.

i'm not sure how it would work.
its just an idea... but i could be fun and helpful...
retrofuturist wrote:Greetings,
If there's anything I can do from an admin perspective to help facilitate this, please let me know.
retrofuturist wrote:Greetings Manapa, all,
If you have a look through the General and Classical folders, you'll see quite a few of the topics are already focused around a single sutta or a single text.
What would need to be worked out then, is how is this proposition different to that which exists already throughout the forum? I get the impression that it would need to have an established "Program of Study" in the form of schedule or timetable and that topics should be closed once we move onto the next topic, in order to keep the group focused on the current topic.
Therefore it seems like a "Study Group" forum would be required, with a couple of pinned threads... one with the schedule and the guidelines for the study group, and another where people can suggest texts for study.
The Study Group would also require a 'leader' to determine the study program and kick off discussions.
Just some thoughts to help get you started. Once you've worked out an approprach, we can build you an appropriately structured electro-vihara to match.
Will wrote:A sutta or other Dhamma text focus is fine. But I would prefer a graded approach from basic to advanced, using either a series of suttas or topics or a book recommended by Bhante Dhammanando or any other Bhikkhu.
Ben wrote:Thanks Retro
That sounds like a good idea. Some thought should go into where to place the 'electro-vihara'. My personal preference is the Classical sub-forum but many members may find the stricter guidelines of the Classical sub-forum may constrain questions or interpretations they have already formed about certain texts.
Kind regards

SEAWORLD - In an effort to cut marine debris and other waste, SeaWorld has phased out foam containers and plastic flatware at its eateries.
Discarded polystyrene foam isn't biodegradable. So it often ends up in landfills, on beaches and in the ocean ecosystem, where it can harm marine animals that ingest it.
Instead of foam and plastic table ware, the marine park is switching to compostable material. It will use bowls and plates made from molded fibers, flatware is made of cornstarch, and hot cups made from recycled paper. Two years ago it also banned plastic bags at its gift shops.
"By eliminating the use of these containers, SeaWorld's efforts may help in the reduction in marine debris locally," said Pauline Martinson, Executive Director of I Love A Clean San Diego
STEELHEAD COALITION – The South Coast Steelhead Coalition will host an information session to educate local officials, organizations and residents about the recovery of the Southern California steelhead, an endangered species of ocean-going trout.
The fish once swam freely between Southern California waterways and the ocean, but now only a handful of landlocked fish remain in San Diego streams. In 1997, the fish were listed as federally endangered, and in 2002 the range of their listing was extended to include Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego Counties.
On Wednesday, September 25th, 2013, the coalition will hold the information session along with Mark Capelli, steelhead recovery coordinator for the National Marine Fisheries Service, to discuss how steelhead recovery will affect affect counties, cities and property.
The meeting will take place Wednesday, Sept. 25 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the Oceanside Public Library on 330 North Coast Highway in Oceanside. Visit

Decoplage Building Description
Decoplage, located in South Beach, Miami is a 16 story condominium sporting 667 apartments. The building was erected in 1965 and was developed by the Merco Group. Although this condo is well over 40 years old, it does not fail to offer great visual appeal and it is very large. It is large to the point that it may seem overwhelming to a person standing in front of it or even seeing it from a distance.
Nevertheless, this is a condominium that does not rely solely on its architecture to suggest that it is the epitome of fine living in Miami. With stone walkways lined with palm trees and an overall solid appearance, it is sophistication. One can easily enjoy what residents have been enjoying for over 40 years a condo that looks expensive, acts expensive, and is expensive to the financial standards of some.
The building was constructed with studios and 1 and 2 bedroom apartments. Each apartment has its own private balcony that is accessed through sliding glass doors. The balconies simply add to the visual appeal of the building, showing off the fact that there are private balconies, while some of the other condominiums dont have this advantage.
Decoplage Features and Amenities
Amenities include a large swimming pool that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and a complete fitness center that is located near the pool. The location is an ideal one because the condominium is within walking distance of clubs, stores, restaurants, and other attractions. There is also a business center and valet parking.
The Decoplage is located at 100 Lincoln Road
Miami Beach, FL 33139 and it is offering 56 condos for sale with prices starting from $319,000 to $2,400,000. This buidling was built in 1965 and has apartments with 0,1,2 bedrooms. List of condos for sale

A look at this week's Drought Monitor showed more of the same – drought across half of the country.
Conditions did improve significantly across portions of Iowa, Nebraska and eastern Texas; however, these areas also paid a steep price for the welcomed drought relief, these areas also experience an outbreak of severe weather, including devastating tornadoes.
Not all states in the heartland were lucky enough to see drought relief. Three Plains states in particular are facing the full brunt of the drought:
- Kansas: Forty-weight percent of the state is in extreme or exceptional drought. In Wichita, Kan., the state of 2014 has been the driest in the city's history. Not even the Dust Bowl was this dry. Across the state, 97 percent of corn, 97 of soybeans, 98 percent hay, 99 percent of cattle and 100 percent of wheat are within areas experiencing drought.
- Oklahoma: Fifty percent of the state is in extreme or exceptional drought. Heavy rain generally missed Oklahoma. The state's wheat crop has been devastated by the excessive dryness, and the Oklahoma Wheat Commission has said this year's crop will go down in history as one of the worst in decades. Across the state, 69 percent hay, 78 percent of cattle and 99 percent of wheat are within areas experiencing drought.
- Texas: Forty percent of the state is in extreme or exceptional drought. One state climatologist ranked the current drought the state's fifth worst in the last 500 years. If the extensive dryness continues, the drought could be bumped up to the third worst in Texas history. A drought-fueled wildfire burned at least 150 structures along the Texas Panhandle this week and forced hundreds of residents to evacuate. Across the state, 95 percent of corn, 77 percent hay, 84 percent of cattle and 99 percent of wheat are within areas experiencing drought.
Further to the west, California is sinking into "unprecedented" levels of drought.
All of the state is in severe or worse drought for the first time this century. It's a drought National Drought Mitigation Center Climatologist Mark Svoboda explained to USA Today as a "once-in-a-generation" drought.
The only other California drought similar to today's drought was during the 1920s, when the state's population was just 1/10th of what it is now.
"All eyes are on El Niño', although the intensity is going to be the key," Svoboda said. "I'd hate to wish for a super strong El Niño' given the damage it can cause, but they desperately need the water!"
Wildfires have already roared across California, not a little more than a tinderbox . More than 14 square miles have been scorched this week alone, and it is expected to only get worse.

Iron Man 3 may lack the traditional licensed console game, but it has got an app courtesy of Disney… and Tesco.
The Stark Armoury app is described as "a new interactive Marvel experience that will have fans and families across the country enjoying a digital treasure hunt through Tesco stores in search of their own Iron Man".
Users can indulge in plenty of Stark-themed frivolity, such as placing a picture of themselves in the Mark II armour and sharing the hilarity online.
They can them scan codes displayed in-store to unlock further content
Tesco is putting plenty behind Iron man 3, which hits cinemas this week (April 25th). Retail displays are being installed in 400 stores across the UK and Ireland promoting toys, apparel, publishing, games and DVDs.
"The Stark Armoury App is a brand new way for our customers to join in the excitement about the movie, and will add an extra bit of fun to the family shopping trip – on-line and in-store," Tesco's general merchandise marketing director Matt Entwistle stated.
"We're delighted to be working with Disney in bringing this unique Marvel App to Iron Man fans."
Marvel International's VP Nigel Cook added: "The Stark Armoury is a fantastic and engaging piece of Marvel content, and forms part of an extensive retail opportunity with Tesco that will run from now through to the DVD release and Christmas.
"Iron Man 3 is a key driver this year for the overall Avengers franchise, and the full product range will continue to be supported with TV programming on Disney XD and ITV ahead of the cinema release in November of Marvel's Thor: The Dark World."
