I was wondering if there is a pre-raid BiS Feral DPS and Tank sets that don't include AQ40, Naxx or Rank 13 gear like the lists that are in the sticky thread.
I am looking for a tank set and DPS set that I can get from only farming 5/10mans.

Brighten Things Up With Better Office Lighting
Light is an important factor in workplace productivity, but many offices often make one of two mistakes with their lighting: either insufficient amounts, or picking the wrong kind.
Improving Lighting In Your Workplace
Not enough light can cause several different issues. Workers get sleepy and moods are impacted from working in a darkened environment. Needless to say, this effect is not so great for productivity. Dim lights are also bad for eye health, since the darkness causes eye strain. The second problem is that some lights —like fluorescent lights—can be too harsh, meaning they're not a good choice, either. Headaches and eye strain are common side effects of working under flourescent lighting. Of course, all of these problems can lower productivity and morale. What are some alternatives to these all-too-common problems? Consider the following options:
Switch from Fluorescent to LED
LED lighting is becoming more advanced and is said to more closely mirror natural sunlight. Not only does it offer a better working environment for your employees but let's not forget the "bottom-line" aspect. LED lights last longer (up to 20-25 times longer) and use less energy, and although the price tag might raise an eyebrow, over time the energy and maintenance savings outweigh the initial costs which is why more facility managers and offices are embracing it as the better option.
Task Lights
Nowadays, some offices are turning to task lights to make up for the inefficiency of overhead lights. They provides better lighting where workers need it, and they also give workers control over their immediate environment, which can lead to better satisfaction among workers overall. For offices that are concerned about being green, another bonus of task lights is that they conserve energy. Not only will they help with the problems caused by bad lighting, they'll be gentle on the environment, too.
Colorful Lamps
Another option that will let workers control their working conditions while also adding a pop of color is lamps that break away from the monochrome of the usual office. Breaking up the monotony of the office will make a worker's space more interesting, which will itself make the worker more engaged with the environment. If you'd like to create a more cohesive look in the office, you can install lamps that carry the company colors. Doing this will be an inexpensive way to brand your office, while addressing lighting issues at the same time.
Natural Lighting
Incorporating more natural lighting into the office is one of the best ways to solve problems caused by artificial lights. Natural light has been shown to have immense effects on workers' productivity and happiness. Business efficiency consultant Andrew Jensen provides the following example: In the 1980s a post office in Reno, Nevada saw an increase in productivity, a decrease in mistakes made by machine operators, and a projected increase in revenue of half a million dollars. What happened? The office had introduced more natural light into its workspace.
Options for including natural light in the workplace include floor-to-ceiling windows and building atrium areas. This may sound expensive on the front end, but considering the energy costs of using artificial light and the problems they cause workers, the costs actually aren't as bad as you would think.
Light can play a big role in your office's productivity and happiness. Decision makers in the workplace have many options for configuring your office lighting to the right layout for your company. Try adopting some of the changes suggested above, and see if they make a difference in your office.

Cover letter mistakes you ought to avoid
Your cover letter resembles a handshake it s how you present on your own to employers when you make an application for a work. Like a good handshake, you desire your cover letter to be strong, succinct, and make an excellent impression.
This isn t a component of the work application procedure you wish to cut corners on, either. A cover letter allows you to enter into more information than your return to enables, clarify voids in your work history or your need for an occupation adjustment, as well as make a case as to why you would be an excellent suitable for the position. And also an excellent cover letter could unlock to racking up an interview as well as, inevitably, landing a job.
Ensure your very first impact is an excellent and also long-term one by staying clear of these common mistakes below when composing your cover letter.
1. Overusing I.
Your cover letter is not your autobiography. The focus should get on exactly how you meet an employer's needs, not on your life story. Prevent the understanding of being self-centered by reducing your use of words "I," especially at the beginning of your sentences.
2. Making use of a weak opening.
When composing a cover letter, work seekers often deal with the cover letter's opening. This problem typically results in a feeble introduction lacking strike and failing to grab the viewers's interest. Consider this instance:.
Weak: Please consider me for your sales rep opening.
Much better: Your need for a top-performing sales representative is a superb suit to my three-year history as a top-ranked, multimillion-dollar manufacturer.
3. Omitting your leading selling points.
A cover letter is a sales letter that sells you as a candidate. Much like your return to, it needs to be engaging as well as provide the main reasons you must be called for an interview. Winning cover letter tips include highlighting your top accomplishments or producing subheadings chosen from the task posting. :.
Your ad defines: Communication skills.
I provide: Five years of public talking experience and a considerable background in executive-level record.
Your ad specifies: The requirement for a strong computer history.
I offer: Proficiency in all MS Office applications with additional knowledge in site growth as well as design.
4. Making it too long.
If your cover letter exceeds one web page, you might be placing readers to rest. An excellent cover letter is succinct however engaging, and respects the visitor's time.
5. Duplicating your return to word for word.
Your cover letter should not spew exactly what gets on your resume. Rephrase your cover letter statements to avoid dulling your return to's influence. Consider utilizing the letter to tell a short tale, such as "my toughest sale" or "my greatest technical obstacle.".
6. Being unclear.
If you're responding to a marketed opening in contrast to writing a cold cover letter reference the specific task title in your cover letter. The individual reviewing your letter might be examining thousands of letters for dozens of various jobs. See to it all the web content in your letter sustains how you will certainly fulfill the employer's details needs.
7. Failing to remember to customize.
If you're relating to a number of comparable positions, chances are you're tweaking one letter and also utilizing it for numerous openings. That's fine, as long as you tailor each letter. Always remember to upgrade the company, job as well as call information if Mr. Jones is dealt with as Ms. Smith, he will not be excited.
8. Finishing on an easy note.
When feasible, put your future in your personal hands with a promise to subsequent. Instead of asking readers to call you, attempt a statement similar to this: I will subsequent with you in a couple of days to address any kind of initial concerns you could have. In the meantime, you might reach me at (555) 555-5555.
9. Being discourteous.
Your cover letter need to say thanks to the visitor for his/her time as well as consideration.
10. Neglecting to sign the letter.
It appertains business decorum (and also reveals focus on information) to sign your letter. Err on the side of rule, as well as if you require any kind of aid identifying just how to shut your cover letter, consider these possible sign-offs. If you are sending out an email cover letter and return to, a trademark isn't required.

I've been experiencing a period of depression for months now. This is the longest it's ever been. I often feel like a shell of a human, sometimes incapable of performing the smallest tasks or feeling anything except mostly blunted emotions. The exceptions being hopelessness and despondency; those I feel acutely. In times like these it's difficult to imagine ever being well. You begin to forget how it felt before depression and have trouble imagining how it will be again without it. It's important to remember that, however long depression lasts, it is temporary. I will get better eventually, so I'm making plans and trying to remember what wellness feels like in hopes that it will be an encouragement.
I am feeling better than I was two months ago. I have not recovered, but I'm not at rock bottom anymore. After a few adjustments with my medication and just giving myself time, I can say that I'm on the road to recovery. That doesn't mean I'm out of the woods yet, but I want to prepare for and be excited about when I am. So, I'm making a list of what I have missed about being well and what I'm looking forward to feeling and experiencing again.
When I am well:
- I will smile more.
- I will cry less.
- I will feel joy.
- I will laugh louder and more often.
- I will reach out to loved ones.
- I will exercise.
- I will eat better.
- I will only nap because I want to, not because I need to.
- I will read more.
- I will take better care of my family.
- I will shower everyday.
- I will want to leave the house.
- I will enjoy life.
It may yet take more months to reach full recovery from this depressive episode. It's important for me to have realistic expectations. This means both that I should not expect too much of myself but also I should not expect too little.
I am recovering, albeit slowly. There are steps I can take in the meantime to help my recovery go as smoothly as possible.
- I can take my medication regularly, as prescribed.
- I can work with my doctor to try new treatments if necessary.
- I can keep my psychiatry and therapy appointments.
- I can set small goals for my recovery.
- I can keep track of my symptoms to get a realistic view of how I'm feeling.
- I can separate my symptoms from myself.
- I can take it one day at a time.

I know you'll say you knew this. It's obvious isn't it? Of course the quality of the working environment affects performance. And this is not just about the air conditioning and attractiveness or comfort of the furniture in the office, nor is it about the quality of technology availed at each physical or virtual work station.
For the past two weeks we have been talking around performance management, looking at the building blocks and factors that influence the efficacy of any performance management strategy and instrument used in the workplace.
We have looked at managing probation in a systematic way so that each new team member has a clear understanding of what the delivery expectations are, and we have also last week looked at the trend towards fluid jobs as opposed to definite job profiles.
Today I thought we could look at some of the environmental factors that help or hinder performance, so that, even though we all know what they are, maybe the article could spark a debate.
The quality of leadership available to the team is an important aspect of performance management. From floor supervisors all the way to the CEO, we are looking for leaders who cultivate and promote a positive and enabling culture of professionalism – I don't know what professionalism would mean in your specific environment, but you know, a leader who inspires us to be the best we can be as far our respective disciplines require in terms of service excellence, accountability, technical compliance with industry regulatory provisions, personal growth and emotional intelligence.
We are looking for leaders who are visible and audible, who let us know what the direction is, the road map, the gains and losses along the way. We are looking for leaders who groom us to grow into the business so that we can anticipate and respond to shifting market needs without fear or favour. Too often we have managers who just set tasks and allocate resources, and this is different from leadership.
Look around you. Do you have managers or leaders there? You know, leadership development programs are a dime a dozen these days, and increasingly available online, so if there is need to improve on this aspect, explore the available options and subscribe.
High performing organisations thrive on robust communication practices, where teams and team leaders communicate freely and frequently to improve results. This two-way communication up and down the hierarchical structure extends from top to bottom. That is not only a text book concept colleagues, there really are organisations where transparency exists.
However, there are also organisations with such
Organisational Structure
It used to be the norm for organisations to have many hierarchical layers of leadership and management defining the organisation from top to bottom. Assistant Officer, Officer, Senior Officer, Principal Officer, Assistant Deputy Manager, Deputy Manager, Manager. Replicated across every department.
We are now starting to see an increase in flatter structures – few hierarchical layers from top to bottom – and it is becoming increasingly apparent that these new structures generally outperform the older models. Why is that? Nobody is hiding behind anyone, there is minimal role duplication and there is less that is falling through the cracks.
Everyone is pulling their weight, people are empowered to make judgement calls and decisions around their scope of operation, so there is engagement, there is accountability, there is progress.
The market is changing daily. The labour market for me has been revolutionised. Everything I deal with has changed. The employee profile is changing all the time. Employment practices are changing. Laws have been revised. Processes have been automated.
Basically, degree or none, to survive in the working environment one must constantly update one's skills, otherwise one would become redundant and unable to meet the needs of one's target market. With that, it becomes critically important to recognise learning as a fundamental part of the performance management process.
There are organisations that view learning as an unjustifiable expense that they grudgingly concede to if there is nothing else to budget for. This is an unfortunate mindset. Learning is a basic requirement for performance.
And it is more than a two day training seminar because when you think about it, we sometimes we learn directly, sometimes indirectly, through classroom lessons or observed cultural practice.
So, it is incumbent on those responsible for performance in the organisation, not just performance of the individual but also of the organisation, to look at these four points suggested here as the backdrop to your performance management strategies: Leadership. Communication. Structure. Learning.

Someone may ask, "But will not all these little house churches scattered throughout a city cause division and disunity within the Body of Christ in that town?"
The truth is that little churches cause no more division than big ones. Very large churches and very small churches have the same challenge when it comes to unity.
In the late 1970 s I was involved with a new Christian organization called "John Seventeen Twenty-one." It was an effort to help encourage and promote unity within the Body of Christ both in the United States and in other countries.
This organization was based on the prayer of Jesus found in John 17:21: "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me."
Over a period of several years we tried to bring God's people together in retreats, encounters, happenings, parades, marches, prayer gatherings and in every possible way. We believed that through our organized "unity" the world would see and believe.
It was one of the most frustrating efforts I had ever been a part of. It was not that these events do not have their place of importance. Surely, they do. But we were trying to organize unity, and unity just was not happening.
Unity will never happen through organization. It must happen in the spirit through an understanding of what unity is.
One day I began to question our understanding of John 17:21. I saw, first of all, that we had not rightly interpreted Jesus' prayer. He was not praying for organizational unity in that passage. He was praying for spiritual unity.
Moreover, Jesus was not praying for spiritual unity among believers. He was praying for the individual believer's union with the Father, not for the union of believers with each other.
This whole passage of Jesus' prayer deals with the individual's union with the Father and the Son. It does not deal with the believer's relationship with other believers.
A wrong interpretation of this passage causes much painful frustration. It also misses the true meaning of what Jesus is really praying for.
John 17:21 could be paraphrased as follows: "That each one of them may be one with You, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me."
The world will never be convinced that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, by means of organizational union. God always uses men and women who have that same united relationship with the Father that Jesus had.
God's plan is still the same — to fill men with His Spirit and demonstrate His love and power through them. What He did through Jesus, He wants to do all over the world.
He wants to live in us and walk in us. He wants to do works of love and grace through us, just like He did through Jesus. This is the meaning of John 17:21.
The only kind of unity that is dealt with in the New Testament is spiritual unity and its results. We search in vain to find any word in the Bible concerning Christian organizations, societies, missions or anything that looks like our present organizational structures.

Martial endured a frustrating season at Manchester United last term, struggling for consistent starts under Jose Mourinho.
As a result, the 22-year-old forward was left out of France's World Cup plans and he is now considering his options.
Tottenham are known to be fans of Martial and are expected to move for him this summer.
And bookmakers Coral have cut odds on Spurs completing a deal to just 2/1.
Coral's John Hill told Starsport: "According to the latest odds, it is becoming increasingly more likely that Anthony Martial will switch Premier League clubs this summer and join Spurs who are the hot favourites to secure the Frenchman."
Coral price Serie A champions Juventus as the second best to land Martial at 4-1 while he is 9-2 to join Chelsea.
The bookies reckon Paris St-Germain, Napoli and AC Milan are also in the mix to secure his signature.
Meanwhile, former United striker Teddy Sheringham believes Mourinho has 'too many' star men in his team and cutting a few would help create a better team ethic.
Sheringham said: "They're missing the x-factor. They've got a lot of fantastic players and probably too many if I'm being honest.
"If you had half the players they've got, you'd work with them as a team rather than being a group of individuals.
"No one really knows what the formation is in each game and they'll need to work on this for next season.
"You hope they aren't just buying expensive players for the sake of it. Jose would say differently.
"There's clearly something missing. They're used to winning things and they need to get back to it."

India along with major world economies is participating in the first-ever global meeting being held in Paris to discuss and evolve mechanisms to combat the clandestine and largely undetected terrorist financing network of the Islamic State terror group.
The dreaded terror group, in recent times, has been held responsible for perpetrating violence and killing at least 129 people in the French capital.
The meeting at the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Secretariat office is being held between December 12-14 and is being attended by an inter-ministerial team led by senior Finance Ministry officials dealing in subjects of money laundering and combating the financing of terror.
The FATF Secretariat confirmed to PTI that Indian authorities will be part in the deliberations aimed to secure the economic and banking channels of the member countries from the influence of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), also called the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
"The Indian delegation will be led by the Ministry of Finance with participation from other relevant ministries and agencies," the FATF said.
Senior officials in Delhi said authorities from the elite Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) will be leading the India delegation for the talks.
"There are some instances under the scanner of various investigative agencies that indicate there may be links to ISIS funds being routed from India, if not generated. The talks are expected to formalise a resolution to jointly combat the menace which is increasingly affecting jurisdictions across the globe," they said.
The FATF is an inter-governmental body established in 1989 and is mandated to set global protocols and standards to combat money laundering and other financial crimes with direct ramifications to terrorist acts across the globe.
India is a full-member of this reputed global body along with 33 other nations like the US, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.
The three-day meeting has been called "to discuss actions jurisdictions are taking and need to take to combat the financing of the ISIL and broader opportunities to strengthen global efforts to combat the financing of terrorism," the FATF said.
"These three days of meetings will bring together delegates representing the FATF global network, which today extends to some 200 jurisdictions, and operational experts involved in detecting, preventing and disrupting terrorism and terrorist financing."
In the wake of the increased activities of terrorist groups around the globe, including ISIS, India had recently reported to the FATF that it has frozen assets worth Euro 3 lakh (over Rs 2.12 core) of over three dozen entities on charges of terrorist financing and money laundering of illicit funds.
However, India, in this report, did not mention that the action involved ISIS operatives.
An exhaustive report prepared by the world body early this year had underlined the "complicated" pattern of funding being deployed to mobilise ISIS terrorists and in secretly moving their deadly weapons and ammunition.
"ISIL financing is a constantly changing picture and a very difficult and complicated area to address given the operational situation on the ground…ISIL represents a new form of terrorist organisation where funding is central and critical to its activities," the report had said.
The report did not mention about any instance of ISIS terror financing in India.
The report had said its preliminary investigations found that the group was generating terror funds by using illicit proceeds from occupation of territory, such as bank looting, extortion, control of oil fields and refineries, kidnapping for ransom, donations including by or through non-profit organisations, fund raising through modern communication networks.
"Still, further consideration will have to be given to determine how best the international community can prevent ISIL from using or benefiting from the financial and commercial sectors under its control," the FATF said.
"The latest meeting is the obvious outcome for the latest round of talks being held here between member countries," the officials in Delhi said.
The FATF found "revenue streams (of ISIS) are inconsistent and shift based on the availability of economic resources and the progress of coalition military efforts against ISIL."

25 February 2018
Jim Collins writes: "An important and crucial quality of (Level 5) leadership is is to never blame others when things go wrong."
The same applies to leading brands and their responsibility to the community they serve. It's essential a brand talks with one clear voice and that the message is clear.
The message from the National Rifle Association (NRA) this week was certainly clear. But they make a cardinal sin by blaming everyone for their inadequacies as opposed to sympathising with the concerned victims and sharing responsibility.
Their reaction left me speechless. This is what they wrote:
"The law-abiding members of the NRA had nothing at all to do with the failure of that school's security preparedness, the failure of America's mental health system, the failure of the National Instant Check System or the cruel failures of both federal and local law enforcement."
The good news? The backlash to this response shows that common sense does seem to have a place in society in the US after all.
The NRA's response
Whilst Donald Trump may have happily accepted support from the NRA for campaigns, to the tune of $30 million, other very large household names are calling it a day and removing their association.
Still instead of a calm and rational approach from the NRA, blame seems to be the order of the day. It's a tactic that may have served them well in the past. However, an antiquated NRA is about to learn a painful lesson: Blame is simply not an acceptable form of defence.
They spout: "Some corporations have decided to punish NRA membership in a shameful display of political and civic cowardice."
The reality is that around twenty brands have cut ties with the NRA already following the 18th shooting in the country since the year began. Many cutting discount programmes they run with the organisation, all public denouncing them.
Brands include airlines Delta and United, car hire brands Hertz, Budget and Avis. As well as hotels Best Western and Wyndham Hotels and software firms Symantec and Norton.
According to a Guardian article about the news, Chubb – the insurance firm – has dropped cover for NRA Carry Guard insurance too. This insured gun owners for costs incurred, including legal fees, if they shot someone and claim self-defence.
Power of the people
After a week of appalling retorts to the victims and school children affected in the atrocities, the power of a new social media movement is making itself heard. Loud and clear.
The exodus of businesses disassociating themselves with the NRA also demonstrates it's not just the kids and those affected that are concerned. There is a huge and ever-growing political movement and rallying of the population to reassess gun laws in the States. Social media and pressure groups including Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America have been pushing the big firms to take action for some time. Finally they have momentum.
#BoycottNRA has been building momentum on social media and consistently trending across the world. This could be an opportunity for the NRA to shift the conversation. If they were instead to rally their five million members to find a compromise to promote gun safety and improve laws without going to either extreme, they could perhaps find a softening in the reaction.
A shift in the NRA's focus is long overdue. It is clear to the majority of the world that such wooly gun laws are not innately linked to freedom, particularly when so many people are dying at the hands of people who should never have been able to get their hands on a weapon in the first place.
Instead, the organisation has responded horrendously, attacking everyone else and being as stubborn as ever. It is an incredible shame.
There is no denying the power that people have. We're in an ever-increasingly connected age where it is easier than ever to find like-minded people and rally around a cause.
The kids involved in the Florida shooting are driving a movement and consumers can easily make their points heard with their wallets.
Those days are gone
The days that consumers can be taken for a ride are gone. The corporate social responsibility, ethics and morals behind a brand are important. There is so much choice in every industry and market that consumers can easily switch allegiances to a company who are more aligned in values.
That's what we're seeing here with the huge number of brands disassociated themselves with the NRA. I think we'll see more stepping away as the days go on.
The challenge will be how the president reacts. Whilst he has called for minor changes in the law, as a man who likes to be popular he now find himself is between a rock and hard place. Traditionally he is in support of the current gun law situation and $30m support for his presidential campaign ties him closely with the NRA. Equally, many of the supporters he rallied to win the presidency are avid gun supporters. So how does he balance common sense and safety? Combining doing the right thing with ensuring his second term in office which is clearly a priority for him? I don't envy the job of resolving the issue with guns in America.
To me, it's simple. Ban them! If it makes you unpopular but saves even one life, you have to follow through and ban them every day.

- Practice concentrating: Each day, take some time to eliminate all distractions and concentrate on a single task. Start by trying to commit your full attention to something for five minutes, then work up to longer stretches of time. If you find your mind wandering, just return to the task at hand.
- Know what to expect: Coming to the test with an understanding of what you will be asked to do will help you focus. Take time to review the instructions and time limits for each section of the test before your test date. Here are some TOEFL® test basics.
- Get plenty of exercise: We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Exercise is one of the single most effective ways to maximize mental performance. Studies have found that regular exercise releases brain chemicals that are key for memory, concentration and overall mental sharpness.
- Focus on one question at a time: Don't waste energy thinking about how you did on the last question, or how you will do on the next one. To obtain peak performance, you want to put all your concentration into one task at a time.
- Visualize taking the test: Mentally rehearsing a task will help you feel calmer and more confident when it comes time to actually do it. A week or so before it's time to take the test, spend 30 seconds to one minute each day visualizing every aspect of test day. You can find more information about what to expect, including an inside look at a test center, here.

Peter Nanula wants to buy a prominent, financially strapped golf club in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, but he may have to fend off a committed group of club members to do so.
In August, the Newport Beach, California-based investor acquired the first mortgage on Gaillardia Golf & Country Club, a property currently in receivership. Control of the loan would seem to give Nanula's deep-pocketed Concert Golf Partners the inside track on a purchase, but a bid from Jeff McDougall, an oil man who owns a 17,500-square-foot mansion in the Gaillardia community, might be favored by a second lender involved in the proceedings.
"We're just a group in the club that would like to see it locally owned," McDougall told the Oklahoman. "We think it's the best thing for the community."
Neither suitor intends to spell out his plans for the club until the foreclosure process concludes, and nobody seems to know when that will happen.

USB is supported under Win2K although it wasn't under WinNT. The problem is likely that the machine is too old and Win2K doesn't have native USB drivers that will work with the port. It may even be that though there is a USB port on the motherboard, it is somehow disabled because the machine was loaded with NT. If Dell doesn't have Win2K drivers available for that motherboard, you are probably SOL. Sorry!
check first if in bios it is not disabled (I believe with dell's you have to hit F2)
second check with Dell if the is a firmware upgrade for your pc.
Most likely the second option will work, since the machine is seeing the usb.
I don't know of any older Intel chipset USB ports that are not supported by Win2K. It almost has to be Intel, since Dell uses only Intel CPUs and, from what I've seen, Intel chipsets.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports in Device Manager. Also check Intel web site for drivers specific to chipset on motherboard. They should still be available.
Tried uninstalling/reinstalling USB ports in device manager ... still came up with tne issue of the driver.
You probably need to install the motherboard drivers for W2K to enable motherboard features such as USB.

Cool, I'm making a post apocalyptic game as well!Hello. First time posting a screenshot anywhere. This is just a single screenshot of a post-apoc game I've been working on for about 300 years. I feel like it's finally starting to really come together.
I'm sure I'll be making changes to the UI, but otherwise I consider this a pretty much finished map. The characters (the guy on the horse, the horse itself, the other guy, and the werewolf) were created by others (Hiddenone, Whitedragon, Bis, and Whitedragon respectively), all other graphics by yours truly. The guy on the horse is the player (he can get off the horse, he just happens to be on it at the moment).
The terrain graphic style (i.e. my graphic style) is NOT pixel art, while the characters obviously are, but I think it works. It actually kind of makes the characters stand out a little, and not get lost in the background. But that's just, like, my opinion, man... feel free to tell me if you disagree. Or if you agree. Or whatever.
Obviously I'm using a parallax background, but several items (the trees, the sign, the diner, etc.) are actually events so that the player can walk in front of them and obscure them and walk behind them and be obscured by them.
This is a 40x22 map, with a resolution of 1920x1056 (which should also be the size of the screenshot itself if you click it (I encourage you to click it)).
That's all I can think to say about it.
Thanks for looking!
EDIT: Oh, woops. I forgot to mention that the graphics for the buttons at the bottom are from game-icons.net. Didn't want to not give credit where it's due.

Wyoming Recovery has cultivated a compassionate, empathetic environment free of ridicule and judgment. If you need help with cannabis or sedative addiction, call us today.
Understanding the Effects of Cannabis and Sedatives
Cannabis, otherwise known as marijuana, can take a hold on one's life and cause other areas to suffer or interests to fade. Though its physical addiction may be less severe than that of other drugs, users may repeatedly try to stop using cannabis without success. Users often experience a "high" that involves altered perceptions and difficulty thinking. Sedatives have some of the same effects but on a grander scale. While under the influence of sedatives, individuals have slower reflexes, slurred speech, and difficulty thinking and problem-solving.
Spotting Signs of Sedative or Cannabis Addiction
Sedatives are depressants, for which warning signs of addiction are often physically and psychologically detrimental. Symptoms of sedative addiction include overwhelming cravings, increased tolerance, and the urge to continue using the drug despite its harmful effects. If someone attempts to cease consumption, he or she may have debilitating withdrawal symptoms that could include depression, anxiety, restlessness, and nausea.
People who regularly use marijuana do not run the same risk of physical addiction as those who depend onsedatives, but there are long-term effects, nonetheless. Medical professionals associate the use of cannabis with depression, personality disturbances, lack of motivation, risk of lung ailments, and damage to the immune system, among others. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact Wyoming Recovery for treatment.

UK champions a greater role for Commonwealth youth
Foreign Office Minister attends Commonwealth Youth Ministers' Meeting to discuss involvement of young people in current affairs.
Foreign Office Minister, Rt Hon Hugo Swire MP, has joined Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister and the Commonwealth Secretary General for the opening of the Commonwealth Youth Ministers' Meeting (CYMM) in Port Moresby.
Held between 15 and 19 April in Papua New Guinea, the conference brings together Ministers from across the Commonwealth, along with young people and civil society, to discuss the involvement of young people in current affairs. This year's meeting will focus particularly on sustainable development, acknowledging the impacts of development challenges on young people and the need to address them.
Hugo Swire, Minister for the Commonwealth, said:
Nearly two thirds of the Commonwealth is under the age of thirty, and we can't afford to underestimate their value or their potential. With the impact of challenges such as global warming and unemployment ever starker, we will be looking to the younger generation for answers.
Bringing Commonwealth Ministers to the Pacific is inspired, because this is one of the places most affected by challenges, such as climate change. Coming here has shown me not just the importance of what's at stake but also the passion of our young people to make a difference. I hope this meeting is just the start of something very special.
The CYMM plays a large part in deciding the future priorities of the Commonwealth Youth Programme, an international development agency working with young people between 15 and 29 years old. The discussions will also feed into the United Nations High Level Panel on the post 2015 development goals, and to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Colombo in November 2013.
This year's theme, 'Young People at the Centre of Sustainable Development', highlights the growing enthusiasm amongst the Commonwealth's youth to make a difference on development issues.
Hugo Swire's visit to the Pacific will see him travel to Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. In the case of the Solomon Islands this will be the first visit by a UK Government Minister for ten years.
The Minister will meet political and business leaders across the region, discussing the UK's cultural and commercial interests. In Papua New Guinea, he will be accompanied by a trade delegation of British companies. He will also hear about the UK's work to improve women's rights, the effects of climate change on the local environment, and he will lay wreaths to those who lost their lives in the Second World War. The visit will conclude with the Minister marking Her Majesty The Queen's birthday with a speech to Vanuatu's senior leadership.

On 26th November 2018, our patron, the eloquent, elegant Governor of Tasmania, Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Kate Warner AC, hosted a reflective dialogue symposium at her beautiful vice-regal home. Its purpose was to gather a diverse group to share story and listen deeply on the topics of communicating and collaborating – linking these to literacy development.
The shared goal that erupted from the group at the end of the day was this – #100PercentLiteracy!
We want to see 100% literacy for Tasmanians.
There is plenty of knowledge about what to do to make this happen across the tabletop with individual learners – children and adults.
Collaboration is to share this knowledge. And in so doing, to also share and listen with respect and non-judgment, seeking to better understand those deeper meanings which inform our decisions, lives, networks and systems.
Communicating: The Heart of Literacy is an ongoing public dialogue about communication, language, literacy, collaboration, and relational trust. Read the report of the symposium and the directions emerging from it.
Unfurling information about the flow-on effects, momentum and impact of Communicating: The Heart of Literacy will be published here.
One of these effects was the Colleagues @ The Heart of Literacy seminar in Hobart on Friday June 21st, 2019. Read the feedback of the parents of children with language-literacy challenges, educators and speech pathologists who attended.
Another, is Connecting: The Heart of Literacy, a September 2019 event generously hosted by Her Excellency. This was a second day-long reflective dialogue about connection and listening as a basis of the ongoing work to positively change Tasmania's literacy rates.
Connect42's work is to transform lives through positive communication skills. Positive communication is the key to healthy and successful living; it is the doorway to positive relationships, education, and employment. Our work is to transform learning to read and write – for those who have struggled – into experiences which are honouring, joyful, hope-filled and successful. So people may then read to learn – according to their choosing.
The skills of communication are the heart of literacy.
Our enormous thanks remains with the fine supporters of Communicating: The Heart of Literacy:
The Collection
Opinions by Tasmanians
Generous Tasmanians gave of their time and thoughts to increase the public dialogue about communication, collaboration, language and literacy. Read their work here – or download a copy of the Communicating: The Heart of Literacy Collection below.

Welcome to Bad Ice Cream which is developed by Nitrome . This is a fun and exciting arcade online game. You will be an Ice Cream that knows how to move and your task is to eat all the fruits in the map. Of course, there will be dangerous enemies who want to melt you. There are forty levels with increasing difficulty waiting for you to conquer in this game! Try it now!
Bad Ice Cream by Nitrome brings you to an exciting 2D game world. This game with impressive 8bit graphics will surprise you from the moment you enter its world. Note that your most important task is to eat all the fruit to pass a level. But in each level there are always enemies and they have different skills. You must carefully observe the movements and skills of each enemy to find a way to overcome them. If you make a mistake, you will die and you will lose 1 life. You have 2 minutes to complete each level in Bad Ice Cream. When the time is over and you have not eaten all the fruits in the map, you will lose.
One of your unique skills is creating ice blocks. You can use this skill to create ice roads and block enemies. You can also break ice to run away from enemies in dangerous situations. Bad Ice Cream gives you 2 game modes: 1 Player and 2 Players (multiplayer). You can choose the color of your Ice cream before entering the level. And when you play in 2 Players mode, you will feel the game more fun! Trust me!
Nitrome created Bad Ice Cream as a great flash action video game on December 10, 2010. The game quickly became popular by its unique and fun gameplay along with its cute 8bit graphics. During forty different levels, you must collect all the fruits on the map while moving skilfully to dodge enemies. But remember that this game is not simple. Bad Ice Cream has big challenges for you. With some special fruits, they can move and it will not be easy to collect them.
In each level, you will see a fruit and after you collect them, a new fruit will appear. Collect all of them to complete the task. For example, in level 1, you have to face a troll and you need to collect 20 bananas plus 16 grapes. In level 2, you have to face 3 demons and you need to collect 7 bananas plus 10 watermelons. In level 3, you have to face 4 cows and you need to collect 26 bananas plus 24 grapes. In level 3, you will face 1 squid and you need to collect 22 bananas plus22 watermelons. At some special levels, you will have to defeat the bosses.
In each level, although your enemies are very crowded, they will move in certain directions. Therefore, you should observe to understand how they work to evade their attacks. Don't forget to use ice blocks (created with your breath) to protect yourself in critical situations. With a diverse enemy system, you will need their information:
- Green troll: they are green and they walk around the map. Note: they will change direction when touching a wall or ice block.
- Black & white cows: like the green troll, they love walking. But when touching a wall or ice block, they will change direction randomly.
- Orange squid: they have the ability to smash ice blocks on the map with the arrow on their heads. They will chase you and destroy the ice blocks you have created.
- Pot creature: This is a creature that looks like a potted plant. They have two forms. In the first six seconds, they move in a random direction at a slow pace. But in the next six seconds, they will find and chase you at a very fast pace.
- Log man: They like to go around the map in a random direction. But remember that if you are on the same line or a column with them, they can roll quickly towards you at tremendous speeds.
- Green squid: these squid can break ice and chase you. They move fast and they can break many ice blocks at once (within their attack range).
- Blue cows: These cows also like to walk and they will chase you. They run faster than Orange squid.
- Ducks: These ducks are very dangerous because they can fly over the ice blocks you created. They will follow you and you need a lot of effort to avoid them.
- Jumping ball tours: This is a creature that looks like three balls. They are very big and their size is two cells. They will jump around to chase you. Jumping ball tours are slow, but they can dig a hole to get under the ground and appear in another random position on the map.
- Blue squid: These squid will chase you (sure), and they can break a row or column of ice with just one shot.
- Yellow cows: It can be said that this is the fastest speed enemy in the game. They will chase you and they run faster than you. Sometimes, you can see Yellow cows jumping on ice blocks.
Besides a variety of enemy systems, you can interact with special objects on the map. Some objects will have good effects for you but the rest will cause bad effects:
- Hot tiles: they melt your ice blocks.
- Arrow tiles: they change the direction of the blocks you created.
- Campfires: very dangerous because they will melt you if you approach them.
- Invisible tiles: you can't go through these objects, but your enemies and fruits can.
As I said above, fruit is a cool feature of the game Bad Ice Cream and some fruits can move. Whether it's a movable fruit or a standing fruit, you still have to collect all of them to complete the level.
- Lemon, banana, watermelon, grapes, and oranges are fruits that cannot move.
- Kiwifruits can move. They walk around randomly at slow speeds.
- Strawberries can move but they are faster than Kiwifruits.
- Pineapple can move. They are faster than strawberries and they will escape you. In addition, Pineapple can fly through walls.
- Pears can move and they will escape you, it's hard to catch them.
- Cherries can use the teleport skill. They will appear in a random position on the map. The only way to catch cherries is to freeze them.

Hi there,
I'm currently using Virtuemart & (Geommunity + Product Geolocator) from Nordmograph. The website already has the infrastructure and database tables recording each Product geolocations (as a VM product custom field), and also have a basic Map Search functionality (module from Nordmograph).
I quite like the My Maps Location interface, however it looks like the plugin to support Virtuemart does not exist yet.
Question- Will you consider including a plugin to allow My Maps Location extension to integrate with Virtuemart?
