2BeeGames Indie Game Competition
Do you want the chance to have flash game ported to a major gaming console? 2BeeGames is running a contest that might just give you that chance. Called the Indie Games Competition, you can earn over $17,000 in cash prizes and even the chance to have your game ported to major game consoles.
Tired of the same types of games being released on consoles, 2 employees of Zoo Games decided it was time to let indie developers have a chance at releasing their games on consoles. That's why they are holding a contest for the best indie games with over $17,000 in prizes!
The first place winner will receive a $10,000 grand prize as well as having their game ported to consoles. The community's favorite game will earn a nice $5,000 prize. The runner up game will come in with a $2,500 prize. Even better, all contest entries have the chance to be ported to a major gaming console, whether you win or not.
Here's the best part of the contest; you can submit any games. Even if your game has already been released or even sponsored, you are allowed to submit it. However, 2BeeGames does not want you to have ads pointing to outside sites within the game that is submitted to the contest, so if your game was sponsored, you'll probably have to remove the sponsor's logos and any in-game ads you might have for the contest version of the game. I would recommend site-locking it as well. You can check the complete list of rules at their site.
For people who are unsure of what is involved in having your game ported to consoles, here's how it would work. You would first choose which console or consoles you think your game would be suited for. Once you choose what console you want your game to be ported to, you will be working with developers to make sure your game is ported the way it was meant to be played.
The publishing/porting/development agreement will be negotiated and be specific to each game as there are many factors that need to be considered; how finished is the game, how portable is the code, can the assets be re-used, extra content for the console versions, how involved you are in the process, etc. Depending upon these factors, 2BeeGames and you will be able to decide what type of revenue split you will recieve.
With thousands of dollars worth of prizes and the chance to have your flash game ported to major gaming consoles, what are you waiting for? The submission date ends April 30, so go submit your game!

A forgotten, unused garlic bulb (Allium sativum) eventually shoots sprouts from the top of the bulb, a sign for many that it's time to toss the bulb in the garbage or compost pile. You can spare the garbage can and plant the sprouted garlic to grow your own garlic for preparing meals. If you have limited garden space, you can grow the garlic sprouts in a container, placing it outdoors or in a window that receives full sun. A single bulb can produce several healthy plants which grow from the garlic cloves.
Separate the cloves from the garlic bulb or head, leaving the papery skin on each individual clove. Discard any small, rotting or otherwise unhealthy looking cloves, reserving only the large, healthy outer cloves for planting.
Choose a container that is at least 8 inches deep and 12 inches in diameter or greater. You can plant up to nine garlic cloves with 4 inches of space between plants in a 12-inch pot. Garlic requires 4 to 6 inches of space between each plant.
Fill the container with a well-drained potting mix, leaving about 1 inch to the top of the container. You can mix finished compost with the potting mix for a nutrient boost -- do not use chemical fertilizers because this affects the garlic flavor.
Poke planting holes in the soil spaced 4 to 6 inches apart.
Plant the garlic cloves in the holes with the flat root end facing down and the sprouts or pointed end facing up. Plant them so the top of the cloves are covered with 1 to 2 inches of soil. It is OK to cover the sprouts because they will eventually push through the soil.
Place the container outdoors in full sun or in a sunny window that receives at least six hours of sun per day.
Water the garlic to keep the soil moist while plants are young, then restrict water to keep the soil fairly dry when the garlic gets closer to maturity. Cutting back the water forces the tips of the foliage display to dry out, which stimulates garlic bulb development.
Harvest the garlic when at least two-thirds of the plant tips are yellowed and dried and the stalk breaks easily from the garlic bulb in the ground. Some people wait until the plant dries out so much that it wilts to the ground. Harvest time is more difficult to estimate with container-grown garlic, but it generally grows to maturity in about 90 days.
Dry the bulbs for about four weeks until the skin becomes papery, then store in a cool, dry place with plenty of air circulation.
Things You Will Need
- Container
- Potting mix
- Finished compost
- Some of the cloves in the bulb may not have any sprouts, but you can still plant them with the pointed end facing up and they will eventually sprout in the container.

Many open source web applications have a large number of features available as add-ons. They need to be installed separately and there are often several add-ons for the same purpose.
Instead, the Tiki community uses an all-in-one Model. One of the consequences is that Tiki is the FOSS Web Application with the most built-in features.
Not only has this been true for a quite a while now, but Tiki also has a much faster than average release schedule, with 2 major releases per year.
- 2008-08: What's new in Tiki 2.0?
- 2009-05: What's new in Tiki 3.0 LTS?
- 2009-11: What's new in Tiki 4.0?
- 2010-06: What's new in Tiki 5.0?
- 2010-11: What's new in Tiki 6.0 LTS?
- 2011-06: What's new in Tiki 7.0?
- 2011-11: What's new in Tiki 8.0?
- 2012-06: What's new in Tiki 9.0 LTS?
- 2012-12: What's new in Tiki 10.0?
- 2013-07: What's new in Tiki 11.0?
- 2013-11: What's new in Tiki 12.0 LTS?
- 2014-08: What's new in Tiki 13.0?
- 2015-05: What's new in Tiki 14.0?
- 2016-04: What's new in Tiki 15.0 LTS?
- 2016-11: What's new in Tiki 16.0?
- 2017-07: What's new in Tiki 17.0?
- 2018-01: What's new in Tiki 18.0 LTS?
- 2018-11: What's new in Tiki 19.0?
- 2019-06: What's new in Tiki 20.0?
- 2020-02 (planned): What's new in Tiki 21.0 LTS?
Even with all the features, there are still several hundred feature requests. But most of these are requests for enhancements to an existing feature. Once a feature is in the code base and is basically usable, it usually evolves naturally/organically. In each Tiki version, most features are refined at least a bit. Some like Webmail need a lot of work. But at least, it's a start.
But when a feature is totally absent, it takes a spark to make it happen and take it to the level where is starts evolving naturally/organically.
What does Tiki not do yet? (please base your answers on latest code). You can also check out the list of Use Cases for more ideas. See also: Interesting Features from other Web apps
Major features totally missing
Desktop publishing as will be needed for the Online Publishing HouseSee mPDF
- Naive Bayes classifier
Something like kfm or elFinderDone in Tiki11
- WikiTrust
- Social Bookmarking
- Link checker (internal and external)
- Animations
- Repository Browser for Code Review
Interface with Monitoring tools: Nagios, Zabbix- etc. Would also be part of TRIM and CheckCode for Nagios was adding. Documention: https://doc.tiki.org/Monitoring
- Online Store (out-of-the-box solution like PrestaShop)
- Web IDE
- Translation option for user submitted comments/posts
- Time Tracking
- A well-defined API for building applications on top of, or integrating application into Tiki. People often say this but without a specific example, it's difficult to follow-up upon. Current plugins structure is very efficient to interface with 3rd party services. Can you give 2-3 specific examples of applications or types of applications you have in mind? Thanks! --marclaporte
- Some apps offer 3rd party integration/hooks, like on Gitlab, we could have for example issues/merge requests/commits etc. reported via the API in the Activity Stream/Notifications
Major features missing from main code base, but available with 3rd party mods or workarounds

Long-time Davis Odd Fellow Dave Rosenberg has been elected Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge of California, Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
The election was held last Friday during Grand Lodge Sessions in Sacramento, with representatives from over 120 Odd fellows Lodges from throughout California.
Four candidates vied for the office and Rosenberg was elected on the first ballot. Grand Warden is the No. 3 position in Odd Fellow leadership, serving a one-year term, and then moving up to Deputy Grand Master, and then Grand Master of California.
Rosenberg served four terms as Noble Grand (President) of the Davis Odd Fellows Lodge and is generally credited with rebuilding that Lodge to be one of the premier Odd Fellows Lodges in the country. Rosenberg also serves as Chief Patriarch of the Davis Encampment, as Captain of the Davis Canton, as Secretary of the Davis Rebekah Lodge, and as President of the Hall Board Association. He has previously served as a District Deputy Grand Master for the Odd Fellows and as Chair of the Grand Lodge Judiciary Committee. Rosenberg also served two terms as Chairman of the Odd Fellows Homes of California Board of Directors, which operates two large retirement campuses in Napa and in Saratoga. Locally, Rosenberg continues to serve as Chair of the Membership & Initiation Committee of the Davis Lodge and serves as a member of the Good Fellowship Committee and the Bingo Committee.

Copy of complaint to IRS, below:
May 22, 2013
Internal Revenue Service
Exempt Organizations Unit
1100 Commerce St.
Dallas, TX 75242-1198
Re: A referral against exempt organizations 1) Davis Odd Fellows; 2)Soroptimist International of Davis; and 3) Davis Rebekah Lodge
In lieu of using the IRS's Tax Exempt Organization Referral Form, please consider this communication a formal complaint (referral) against Yolo County, California not-for-profit entities known as 1) the Independent Order of Odd Fellows — Davis Odd Fellows Lodge #169 ("Davis Odd Fellows"); 2)Soroptimist International of Davis; and 3) Davis Rebekah Lodge.
On April 4 , 2013, the Davis Odd Fellows, Soroptimist International of Davis, and Davis Rebekah Lodge were duly served with a request for production of the three latest IRS Form 990, Form 990 Schedule A, as well as Form 1023.
Davis Odd Fellows Operatives: Lea Rossenberg, Judge Dave Rosenberg, Judge Dave Reed, and Volunteer — Assistant Chief Deputy District Attorney Michael Cabral (Image: courtesy photos)
Said requests were emailed to Mrs. Lea Rosenberg (wife of David Rosenberg aka Dave Rosenberg), and included a proviso by which the undersigned offered to pay for reasonable costs for any copying and mailing costs incurred in relation to this request.
To date, no responses have been received by me to this request to produce the tax returns, despite the clear mandate by the Internal Revenue Service to fully comply with such requests within 30 days.
As such, reluctantly, the undersigned makes this referral based on grave concerns dealing with suspicious circumstances surrounding Davis Odd Fellows' board of directors (see http://davislodge.org/odd-fellows-hall-board/ ), President – Dave Rosenberg ,Vice President – Dave Reed, Treasurer – Barb Geisler, Secretary – Lea Rosenberg, as well as other non-profit entities controlled by Lea and David Rosenberg to wit, Soroptimist International of Davis, Davis Rebekah Lodge, Davis Sunrise Rotary Club , and the newly form non-profit entity Davis Odd Fellows Charities, Inc./Orphan Scholarship Fund.
More specifically, the concern relates to the fact that in recent years almost all the non profits entities controlled by Lea and Dave Rosenberg began to almost exclusively raise funds for "foster youth" and/or "emancipated foster youth" in Yolo County.
For example, Davis Odd Fellows held an event to benefit foster youth known as " Breakfast with Santa". Soroptimist International of Davis held an event to benefit foster youth known as "Texas Hold 'Em". Davis Rebekah Lodge held an event to benefit foster youth known as "Crab Feed."
As mentioned above, In addition to "Breakfast with Santa", Davis Odd Fellows recently launched an ad hoc non-profit to benefit foster youth known as Davis Odd Fellows Charities, Inc./Orphan Scholarship Fund.
While certainly the cause of supporting orphans and foster youth is worthy of praise, grave concerns exist that under the auspices of helping foster youth, money is instead actually laundered and being used for improper purposes, including , but not limited, to bribing or attempting to gain the favor of the foreperson of Yolo County's Grand Jury (Barbara Sommer) who, coincidently, also heads a non-profit entity designated to house "foster youth" and/or "emancipated foster youth" known as Progress Ranch.
Additional facts that raise suspicions are that both Dave Rosenberg and Dave Reed are judges of Yolo County Superior Court; Dave Rosenberg is a close confederate of an attorney (Howard Dickstein) who represents an Indian Casino located in Yolo County (Cache Creek Casino); Cache Creek Casino also recently developed an unexplained desire to benefit "foster youth" through a huge donation to benefit "foster youth"; and that in recent years Yolo County's Grand Jury (headed by Barbara Sommer of Progress Ranch) was investigating Cache Creek Casino.
As such, I urge you to investigate this matter and impose appropriate sanctions against any and all involved, if supported by the results of your investigation.
I look forward to your response. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.

"How do I speed up my computer?"
Without question that's the most common question I get and
it's nothing recent. I first wrote about it in 1999 and those ramblings are
still archived here.
Times have changed but speeding up your computer remains the
top concern. Fortunately there are a number of painless solutions. They're
listed below pretty much by what will give you the biggest bang for your buck.
Start Up Programs
Do you have a bunch of icons in the system tray? Does your
computer take a long time to start up? Many "gadget" programs want to load
automatically at start up and each one sits in memory chewing up resources
including memory and CPU cycles. Even worse some programs load at start up and
never even let you know they're doing it. I've worked on computers that have had
in excess of 100 start up programs (including necessary Windows processes).
Get rid of them! Most of them were probably install once and
forget and you'll never miss them. Identifying them is another story but there
are alternatives that will help you track them down.
Windows includes a program called MSCONFIG that will identify
some start up programs. Click start, run and type in MSCONFIG and that'll get it
started. Msconfig is kind of bare bones and won't give you the full story but if
you don't have a lot it might do the job.
Next is
which is an excellent and free tool from Microsoft. A word of warning. It is
powerful and will not stop you from removing a critical Windows process. Be
careful of what you're doing.
Somewhere in the middle between MSCONFIG and autoruns is
SpeedUpMyPC from Uniblue. You can do a free online scan
but you'll have to buy it to make any changes. SpeedUpMyPC will keep you from
getting into trouble from disabling a critical start up service.
Registry Fixers
The registry does a boatload of work in Windows being where
just about everything about any program or process is stored and most remove
program routines don't do a good job of cleaning up when they are uninstalled.
If you've removed even a few programs the registry can become full of useless
information. Why does this affect performance? Every time that Windows has to
access the registry it's thrashing through a load of useless data to find the
right info. I've worked on machines where 25% of the registry was useless junk.
You can avoid this by using a complete uninstaller like
Uninstaller which works great but it won't fix anything that was uninstalled
prior to it being used. For me it's far easier and less expensive to use a
registry fixer. I like
Registry First Aid as it will not only removed obsolete junk but also fix
registry errors which can cause errors and put Windows into slow mode. There are
a lot of good registry fixers and Registry First Aid is my choice but it's
mostly a matter of style. You'll find others you can try
Hard Drives - Fragmentation
There are two factors in hard drive performance.
First there's fragmentation. Data is stored in "blocks" with a
file being saved in the first block available and then the next. It might be
easier to see a graphical representation.
Keep in mind that these "blocks" of hard drive space can be
all over the drive.
You go to load "Mom" or "MP3" and the hard drive read/write
head has to jump all over the disk. Now think of how much faster it would be if
all the "Mom" or "MP3" files were in contiguous blocks.
But says you "I don't do that much file creation" so
everything should be grouped together at the end of the day. Actually you might
not do a lot of file creation but Windows and your applications do. First
there's the browser cache writing all sorts of files to your hard drive. Then
there are system checkpoints and the indexing service. Believe me, there's a lot
of file activity.
The term for non-contiguous files is called "fragmentation"
and there's a tool in Windows to regroup files into contiguous blocks. Right
click a drive in My Computer, select properties and then tools then the
"Defragment Now" button.
Like all of the utilities that come with Windows the
defragment tool is okay but not great. My choice for Windows XP is to use a third party tool
like DiskMagik
and let it run as a service for a while. You will never escape fragmentation but
DiskMagik will keep you on top of it.
Oh, and regardless of the defragment tool you use run it
several times as after you do the first pass it will cause other files to become
fragmented. It may seem like a vicious cycle but eventually you'll have fairly
contiguous files...until they're fragmented again.
Hard Drives - Better Hardware
Many computer vendors will try and save a few bucks with a
slower rotational hard drive with a rotational speed of 5,400 RPMs. Consider
upgrading to a faster (7,200 or even 10,000 rpm drive) as the faster a drive
spins the better the performance. It may sound like a lot of work but it can be
fairly easy. Simply get the new drive, install it and then use something like
Image for
Windows to make a disk image and then restore that image to the new drive. Once you have the new drive
booting and working you can use the older, slower drive for drive image backups
or storing media files.
If extreme hard drive performance is your cup of tea
you might want to take the leap to a solid state drive. They continue
to improve in terms of their quirks (there is a limit to the number of
times you can write to a SSD) and their price continues to drop. I
opted for a lower end OCZ drive and I'm very happy with it but ask me
again in a year. Regardless worth checking out, the performance hit is
The Ultimate Speedup
If you want the a quick speedup without shelling out the bucks
for a SSD drive look into
SuperSpeed XP.
It's probably overkill for most but with SuperSpeed installed somehow the drive
partition is copied to a RAM disk (created out of memory) that "looks" like a hard
drive to Windows. Like a thumb or solid state drive RAM (memory) is a ton faster than any hard drive and access is
super fast. Any changes are written after the fact from memory to the hard drive
so when you power off all your changes will be there when you restart. You do
have some exposure in terms of data loss if there is a power outtage and I'd
recommend you only use this with a UPS.
But still it's worth it. The speed of reading/writing to
memory it's very, very fast.
Give these a shot, think that short of a new, top of the line
computer, they'll satisfy that "need for speed"

I think just being a fairly fucked up person is the only inspiration for songwriting.
Even as a long time Dandy Warhols fan, I have to admit the last decade of their career has been fairly patchy.

Following a massive response to the Dandy Warhols' recent tour announcement, which according to the band saw their Melbourne Corner Hotel show on Tuesday, 26th August sell out "in under 90 minutes," the neo-psych veterans have announced the addition of a second Melbourne show. "Dang, Melbourne, you continue to amaze… nicely done," the band wrote
Portland's indie rock favourites The Dandy Warhols are heading back to Australia, with Courtney Taylor-Taylor and company today announcing they'll be gracing our shores this August as promised, playing shows around the nation.

Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, the new Dandy Warhols' album is available to be streamed until its release date on April 24th. Their ninth studio album, This Machine consists of eleven tracks and is available through the kind folks at Rolling Stone Magazine from now until the album's release.
The beauty of social media is once again shining through with the Dandy Warhols tweeting that they will be touring Australia in the fall. The band tweeted a response to Anton Newcombe, frontman of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, telling him that they would be adding more gigs to their already busy schedule. Anton Newcombe will
Can The Dandy Warhols ever go wrong, really. Listening to the new offering from these indie greats, This Machine, is like coming home to a hot chocolate and a comfy couch with a bum groove in it on a winter's evening – my fancy way of saying, the awesomeness you would expect of The Dandy
The Dandy Warhols have released a new single named Well Now They're Gone, taken from their upcoming new album This Machine, which will be released on the 24th of April.

"Every farmer I have met has that bond with their livelihood," Kristin Canty said. "It's their land, their home, their animals, their source of income and the way they sustain their family. Why would the government spend time and money trying to take that away?"
That's the $64,000 question for Canty, the director of the new movie "Farmageddon," which opens at the West End Cinema on Friday.
Canty's quest to find healthy food for her children turned into an educational journey to discover why access to healthy foods was being threatened. She talked about the horror stories she heard from the small farmers she met.
An example: At 5 a.m. in the middle of a blizzard, FBI agents arrived at the home of Linda and Larry Faillace to take their sheep away, since the government thought they were spreading mad sheep disease.
"They were acting like there was grave danger and that there may be armed resistance...on a sheep farm in the town of Warren where most people leave their doors unlocked," Canty said.
"They spent a million dollars watching us, climbing in and out of fences," Linda Faillace said.
In the end they took the sheep out to Iowa and killed them for a disease that doesn't exist to this day.
According to the Faillaces, this happened because the USDA had more guns. So how did the Faillaces know they were being watched?
"The cars are clean and they wear ties. No one in Vermont has a clean car."
At least they kept their sense of humor.
This is just one of the many shocking stories portrayed in the film.
"There is a revolving door between the large corporate agricultural companies, the pharmaceutical companies and the USDA," explained Canty. "There are definitely conflicts of interest that favor Big Agriculture. The FDA unfortunately approves the use of chemicals and genetically modified organisms in our food, and disapproves of natural food. This has to change, because the way people are eating now is not sustainable. Humans were made to eat real food ... and if that isn't what you are eating ... eventually you will end up sick. The political pressure right now is unfortunately swinging in the direction of hurting the small guy and helping the big guy. This needs to change."

Wednesday February 6th ended the prolonged debate over the fate of the Orange County Government Center. Republican lawmakers and Democrats voted to pass a proposal to renovate the 43-year-old architectural landmark. The vote defeated County Executive Ed Diana's attempt to demolish and replace the Government Center. Chairman Michael Pillmeier's proposal authorizes bonding $10 million to design the renovations for the county government building.
March 12 marked the deadline for the decision that would determine the fate of the Government Center. There was a the risk of losing up to $2.7 million in federal funds to repair the water damage from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee from 2011 and thankfully legislatures have reached an agreement – one that seems to be highly influenced by the toll the closure of the Government Center had on local businesses in downtown Goshen.
Up until this February, small businesses in Goshen were experiencing the financial and economic effects of the closure of the Government Center. Left in a state of uncertainty, local business owners pushed for a sense of urgency in the case as they stared out onto empty sidewalks.
A large majority of the foot traffic in the village of Goshen was attributed to the offices in the Government Center. Visitors to the County Clerk's Office or the Department of Motor Vehicles were large contributors to local Goshen economy. Those visiting the offices were able to experience the small town shops of Goshen for some quick shopping or a bite to eat.
Commerce was greatly reduced among various businesses after the center's closure. Eateries were among those most affected as well as the Farmer's Market from the loss of foot traffic. Some businesses claim their trade dropped 25% due to the closure and lack of action taken to determine a plan for the county's prized center.
Thankfully the fate of the Government Center has been set. With faith and prospect, the plans for renovations will begin in a more urgent manner than they were met and the process will aid in the financial renovations of local businesses as well. The construction may also bring good business for local eateries and small town stores and, within time, the empty sidewalks will soon be filled with the traffic they once boasted.

As of now, I decided that I shall go through with the project I just transferred to. I could go on and on about the things that are not comfortable about this job and this responsibility but I am already here. I might as well, get it over with.
Time goes by fast anyway and the challenges will be interesting so better just enjoy the journey.
But after this one, I am almost sure to move on to another job. This new job should be or should have:
1. A salary higher than my current salary or salary greater than my last job. It should only make sense that I get more.
2. A work schedule from 9 to 6 or midshift. Night shift is a big no-no and It was the major decision maker to leaving my 6 year stint at my previous company. If the office says that night shift might happen. I will have to say no.
3. The office should be in Makati City so the job ad should more or less say "Willing to work in Makati". Working outside of Makati is a mistake. I have to travel long hours that I could have been using to do other stuff or take care of other things. Working in Makati has allowed me to go to the gym. My home is of close proximity to Makati so heading home is at most an hour away.
For the work, I really don't care. It doesn't matter if I maintain the title or degrade to being a programmer as long as these 3 conditions are met.
In the meantime, please wish me luck.

We all know how life is – full of constant changes and challenges, responsibilities, and a faster speed of activities. And it can be enough to drive us crazy because sometimes we just can't keep up with it.
.Eventually, we have to choose – to choose if we are just going to throw up our arms and give in to the rats winning the race, or get whatever I can and let others find their own way, or maybe continue working towards fulfilling the urge of our personal essence even if it requires sacrifice?
For a lot of people (given the state of the world today), I think we just end up making excuses for not doing something, or continue to put it off.
Sadly, what is sacrificed first and most often is the very things that would make our life better. You know, the secret hobbies, the book, song, or community project that you know would be a great contribution not only to yourself (through self-expression), but also to the recipients of your work.
Below is the Top Ten Lies we tell ourselves and qualify them as legitimate reasons to continue the same old path wish and hope would change.
10 – I am going to die someday – way off in the distant future.
Does this gives me excuses to not get started on the things I want to do?
9 – I have total control over my life; and if I don't, I can.
"I've got it all handled." Hmmmmmm.
.8 – Life is supposed to be fair.
We're told over and over the opposite. What am I to expect?
7 – Only the strongest or smartest succeed.
Well, I'm neither … so, help me find a rock to crawl under.
6 – Money is the ultimate root of the world's evil.
… and who wants to be evil, right?
5 – I need money to make money.
If I want to make money, does that mean I am evil?
4 – It only happens to other people.
There are a lot of messed up people out there, right?
3 – It's someone else's fault.
They have all the money, looks, strength, and control (and luck). Don't they?
2 – I am not worthy (or deserving, or I am bad, etc)
When I was 6, I …
When I was 10, I …
When I was 14, I …
When I was 19, I …
… and on, and on, and on …
1 – I'm OK! Really!!!
I'm just having a bad hair day.
(Ya, right!)
How many of the above lies have You used to not be an expression of yourself?
