Tribal Gaming Grants
Tribal Grant Application Process
Under tribal-state gaming compacts, Arizona tribe's share twelve percent of a portion of their annual gaming revenue with local school districts, state and local governments and other public entities to provide services that benefit the general public.
Scottsdale's Government Relations Department coordinates applications for tribal grants from non-profit entities in Scottsdale
- To facilitate the application process, non-profit entities are encouraged to complete the tribal gaming grant application from whichever tribal community they want to apply to and send that application to the City's Government Relations Department 30 days prior to the tribal government's application deadline. Each tribal community has their own application, which is usually available on their tribal website.
- PLEASE NOTE: We will only accept applications from non-profit entities with a physical address. Organizations with only a p.o. box address will not be accepted.
- Applicants who operate under IRS tax exempt status as a 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) non-profit organization must submit documentation with their application indicating their current legal status.
- Government Relations will provide a City of Scottsdale resolution (if required) and submit (or pass through) the non-profit entity's application to the tribal government.
- If the non-profit entity is selected for funding distribution, Government Relations will seek City Council approval to receive Prop 202 gaming revenue funds in the form of a Council Report. If approved by Council, an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the awarding tribe is presented to the City Mayor and tribal governing body for approval.
- The tribal government will not disperse grant funds to the City until the IGA is approved and signed by all parties.
- Non-profit entities that are chosen as recipients of tribal gaming funds are solely responsible for the expenditure of these funds and are responsible for ensuring that these funds are appropriately utilized and accounted for in compliance with all applicable laws. By accepting these funds, a recipient organization releases and waives any and all claims, demands, cause of actions of any kind, known or unknown, real or imagined, that the recipient organization may or may not have against the City of Scottsdale, its elected officials, officers, employees, volunteers and agents, arising from the provision of these funds by the City of Scottsdale to the recipient organization.
- Additionally, we will require a W-9 form and an invoice from the non-profit entity requesting the gaming revenue funds from the City of Scottsdale.
- Once the W-9 and invoice are received, a check request will be submitted to the City Treasurer's Office for disbursement of funds to the non-profit entity.
- All reporting and documentation is required to be made by the non-profit entity directly to the tribal government.

Will Smith Wants to Make New Music, But His Kids Are Making Fun of His Old-Man Process
Parents just don't understand.
Earlier this month, Will Smith appeared on The Tonight Show and did some musical game because it's The Tonight Show. But apparently it stuck with him, as he told the Associated Press, "I got the bug." Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Smith talked about writing rhymes again. The problem is his kids are making fun of him for doing it wrong. This is how we imagine the conversation went:
Jaden: Daaaaaaad, you're doing it wrong. Everyone uses their iPhones to take their rhymes down.
Will: Paper's where it's at, son. Rakim didn't rap about using his Notes app.
Jaden: Parents just don't understand.
Will: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! You got me. You got me.
Jaden: I'm just looking out for you, father.
Will: I know, son. I know. Now let's go swim in our pool that's shaped like Philadelphia and filled with gold coins.

Making a mark carved out of steel
For all of the world to see
To fade into black without any cause
Is not the way it should be
All of my life I have needed to be in the light
Never to die but not to go on with no life
No future!
Dying ain't much, much of a life
When no one remembers or cares
Scratched from a list erased from time
No one would know you were there
Stand up and fight for the right
To be known in this life
Never say die, never go on with no life
No future!
No life, no life, no life, no future
No life, no life, no life, no future
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/exciter/no_life_no_future_lyrics.html

Not Ranked in Cookies
I love me some mothers oatmeal cookies.
Brings back memories
I grew up eating these cookies! They are very crunchy and are great if you have a major sweet tooth. Overall, they are not extremely unhealthy and are ok for snacking every once and a while.
I grew up eating these cookies. They are such a. Good treat. My family always put peanut butter on them and made little cookie sandwiches. You can find them anywhere!
Best cookies ever.
I grew up eating these, once my go to comfort food. Sadly a couple years back they chose to use the preservative called TBHQ. I am one of the unlucky ppl who can't tolerate it, dizziness, headache and general flu like symptoms. Now a product I once always had in the pantry is gone from my world.
Okay, these are decent, for a store-bought oatmeal cookie. A little on the hard side, but edible and the icing helps. I just wish that there was more of it, that's all.

MSA provided a site and facility analysis and generated schematic documents for overall facility improvements including grandstands, press boxes, concessions, restrooms, ticket offices and team locker rooms. Overall circulation, sight lines and field design were considered.

Lead Pastor: Greg Goostree
"I grew up as a church kid in East Clark County who met Jesus and was discipled by a long list of people through my church. During high school I realized I wanted to be a part of students and their families coming to know who Jesus is and learning how to live for Him. After high school, I attended Multnomah Bible College (now Multnomah University) to earn a bachelor's degree in Bible, Theology, and Youth Ministry. My time at Multnomah was truly transformative as a Christ follower.
In 1998 I was given my first opportunity to lead a ministry with students. The internship was a catalyst that God used to give me a heart to help students and their families become disciples of Jesus. In 2001, I was hired as the youth pastor at Trinity Fellowship in SE Portland where God shaped me as a young pastor. It did not take long to realize that I wanted more education to better serve families. I enrolled at Western Seminary where I crammed a two year master's degree in counseling into four years.
Halfway through my time at Western Seminary (2007) my wife, Lindsay, and I moved to Camas. In 2008 Harvest offered me a position working with youth and their families. A few years later I was I asked to oversee and advise children's ministry at Harvest. Shortly after that I was invited to be an elder. In 2017 I transitioned into the Lead Pastor role. Lindsay and I love our church and our little town. Both have provided a great place to raise our four kiddos (Kaden, Raegan, Hudson, and Maddison)."
Associate Pastor of teaching and discipleship: Gary Smith
"I began serving as Senior Pastor with Harvest in May 2009 after serving as Executive Pastor at a church in Port Angeles, Washington for nearly thirteen years. I have been married to a wonderful woman, Patty, since May of 1988. We have three adult children - a son, Alex, and two daughters, Emily and Rachel. We love the people of Harvest and are grateful to share in what God is doing here through the grace and truth of Jesus Christ. Harvest is blessed with a gifted staff and elder team who love Jesus and are devoted to growing people in knowing and living for him. It is a privilege and joy to serve with them.
In 2011 I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. I am not a fan of Parkinson's. It has made daily life and ministry increasingly challenging. But God has been surrounding and sustaining me with his grace through the love, prayers, and support of the Harvest family. While we are not a perfect church, I can say from my experience in the way they have stood with me as a "broken pastor," that Harvest is the real thing when it comes to being a caring community for broken people. Our hope is in God who empowers us in our weakness to make disciples for Jesus through gospel-centered mission, growth, and community. Come join us in carrying out and living Christ's mission!"
Youth Pastor: Matt Eldredge
"Even though I grew up in the church, I resisted a life that was truly centered on Jesus and kept him as a backup plan in case my plans didn't work out. Funny thing is my plans left me really empty and before I could even think to go to Jesus as plan B, he had already been in pursuit of me and welcomed me home with a grace that was completely overwhelming. I knew I wanted to live a life filled with Christ's purposes and that's what led me to working with the Harvest youth group.
I've been here now since 2010 and now serve as the Youth Pastor. I love doing life with students because of how hungry they are for purpose and relationships that matter. We hope for our youth group to be family and to grow our roots deep into Jesus, knowing that we are his disciples and in turn to go out making disciples.
I'm married to my best friend Kathleen and love doing life and ministry together. We both serve as Young Life leaders and have a blast connecting with students from Camas High School. We also love Ben and Jerry's and The Office! This community has helped shape us as a couple and we're thankful to have a community who has thoroughly cheered us on."

- fishfishmonkeyhatSeptember 20, 2010 at 6:11 AM
I don't want to know when ep4 is coming out. You guys take as long as you like! Thanks.ReplyDelete
- Teo GoreSeptember 20, 2010 at 6:54 AM
Cool guys,theyre working on it!:)ReplyDelete
VERY nice to see you're frequently posting!:D
Keep it up!
I have an question that i see rather important:
Do you have any more finished content
that you would be able to release?
As you said yourself,im waiting like
there's no tomorrow,but i'll keep
cheering for ya!;)
-Teo Gore:P
Oh sorry, but it was said in earlier posts so many times, that there is much work to do, and they can't guess a date for release!ReplyDelete
Such excuses... I updated my App, I noticed nothing new. So despite ur claim that the update DID affect everyone, I see no evidence... Basically, my point being, SOMETHING, SOME. THING. Coulda been released. I KNOW this. I know there is a way to break it down and release it piece by piece. I KNO. Or if not for some magical reason, you coulda been released SOMETHING. The retina coulda came AFTER or WITH Episode 4. U don't keep ppl waiting for like a year practically and then when u FINALLY drop something it's not even for everybody. AND now ur next update may not even be episode 4, but a fix for the screen slip bug???ReplyDelete
All I know is, when this episode 4 drops, it better b the best freaking app on my phone...
- AnonymousSeptember 20, 2010 at 9:18 AM
I'd Like to see you make ANYTHING as good as minigore. So what if they added the Retina Display before episode 4? BIG DEAL. Get over it. What about the people who have an iPhone 4? they must be going YAY RETINA DISPLAY! :) not that i have one, but you dont hear me complaining. well Better Late then Never. At Least we know for a fact that they ARE updating it, not like some devs i know, who build an app and forget about it (Touchgrind to name one) How can you Be So Selfish!? What about the people that got affected by the bug? What about them? don't they deserve a fix? or wait, Everything should be done according to you. Drop whatever your doing and come help me so i can complain about people working very hard to get episode 4 out. Please do us all a favour and grow up. It's people like you that makes the world such a terrible place to live in, Not Osama bin laden, He may be a major cause of grief, but how can 1 person affect the whole world?
Now, onto my question. You say that the leaderboards will be reset, does this also include your personal unlocks? because i was screaming my ass of when i unlocked the Bear with infinite shot gun rounds. It'd be a pain in the ass to get him again. Please do try to save the unlocks. but if nothing can be done, i guess i'll have to do it the hard way again. :P
I'm also glad to see alot more posts happening :D
Also another thing i'd like to ask is Hardgore. On the website hardgore looks something like a santa claus minigore. All i want to know, has the project been dropped completly? or is it still in development?
Good luck with episode 4, Make it SPECTACULAR!! :D
@Anonymous. MS might want to respond to your question, but I think I can say with certainty that the leaderboard changes will only have an effect on the _online_ leaderboards. Your in-game achievements/character unlocks do not rely on the online leaderboards, the leaderboards are just for the sake of competition and stats. Rest assured that you won't lose Envirobear :) (Who by the way, is my favorite character as far as playing style goes)ReplyDelete
I apologise Mountain Sheep. Sorry for acting the way I did. My fault entirely.ReplyDelete
Will achievements be transferred to GC?ReplyDelete
Ok idiot, you clearly misinterpreted what I said and added on whatever you felt like as well. Ur clearly pretty stupid and just bcuz I can't make an app doesn't mean I lose all rights to judge and criticize it.
- AnonymousSeptember 20, 2010 at 3:47 PM
We would all appreciate it if you would not say anything else, we all think your not too intelligent. I'll sound it out for you, in-TELL-uh-Gent.
Let's all just get along until the next blog entry.ReplyDelete

Geez all most of you guys do is complain and criticize.Can't you just be happy that they are back on track? Look on the bright side: They are finally updating the blog and the did a quick update.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 20, 2010 at 8:52 PM
I was wondering if there will be an update that will also address the significant lag in the iPad version. I'd really like to see all these great additions you've made in the HD version. Are there plans to bring the phone and HD versions back into parity soon at all?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 20, 2010 at 9:38 PM
You guys complain when the blog is hardly updated. They finally start updating the blog regularly and you guys are STILL complaining. GET A GRIP. Episode 4 is coming, we know it's being worked on. That's good enough for me.ReplyDelete

Hey, just to tell you - The flip screen bug doesn't affect me luckily, and neither does the lowered frame rate with the weapon box explosions. But there is this one rather annoying bug - when a small furry changes from moving south-east to north-east these weird lines appear by the side of them. This may sound strange but it does happen ALOT so could you fix this in this next update please? Thanks! Game Center is wicked and I'm glad you guys are taking interest in it. Maybe you could now make multiplayer online rather than local because of it! Just a thought..ReplyDelete
P.S. If it helps with the bug, I own a 8gb 3rd gen ipod touch thats been updated to the latest software.
@Skidatle, if the bug is graphical in nature, I would suggest trying to take a screenshot of it and posting a link. You can take a screenshot by pressing and releasing the home button and the power button simultaneously. The screenshot will show up in your Photos app on your iPod.ReplyDelete
@Skidatle @MountainSheep, I decided to take a word of my own advice and take a couple screenshots myself. It was pretty difficult to time it right, I died a couple times in the process :-D. Here are the screenshots:ReplyDelete
I'd never noticed that before, but I sure will now. Jeez... :-)

Hey guys, absolutely love the game, but I would love to see at least a couple more characters, maybe a few bonuses with the character like the bear and ninja for example but nothing big, to give a huge advantage, does anyone agree?ReplyDelete
At the request of certain anonymous posters, I shall no longer post on the blog. I may read from time to time, but no more commenting or arguing from me. I am not sure what your problem is with me, but I will respect your wishes. There is no point fighting, especially when I was the one who was wrong. I apologise.ReplyDelete
Mountainsheep, I'll see you around. If there is one last bit of advice I could give it would be this: Keep what your doing up, because your communities are the fabric which hold this project together. Do your best, because as I'm sure you already know, the enjoyment of a fan is the single greatest reward. I am sorry for any grief I have caused you with my negativity. Keep going, and use any and all criticism as the ultimate motivator. Lastly, I want to thank you for your awesome work. Minigore has brought me much entertainment, and has peeked my interest in app development. Keep going. Rock on.

who thinks they need to make an offical episode 4 trailor. just make a 2 min video featuring 2 of the new characters one of which would be the knight in multiplayer on the zombie map. then make pop ups saying hey this and this is coming.ReplyDelete
I personally find it exceedingly melancholy that the perhaps most supportive, mature, and overall greatest FAN of Minigore, Metalbear, has been driven off this blog by people who r 2 lazy 2 spel out real words, shouting GTFO, which for all I know could stand for Grey Toaster-Fried Oysters. Those who complain that this game is not good enough as it is, and those who blatantly curse AND EXCESSIVELY WRITE IN CAPS. How can those people even call themselves fans? At any rate, I would just like to express my deep respect for you Metalbear, and point out that the reason he will no longer be commenting is because he RESPECTS OTHER PEOPLE'S REQUESTS, no matter how outlandish or ridiculous they may seem.ReplyDelete
So to all those "certain anonymous posters", I say congratulations; you have successfully ridded this blog of one of the most devoted and sensible minigore fan I have ever seen. Congratulations.
As a last note, I would like to salute you, Metalbear, for just trying to do the right thing and please everybody, for better or worse.

Minigore Community: It's one thing that there is an excessive amount of undue hate directed at MS in regards to episode 4 while hiding behind the veil of anonymity. It's something completely different when that hate has spilled over to the point of posters maliciously attacking one another. The community is being destroyed by these anonymous trolls. I'm not saying there shouldn't be varying opinions on various matters, but I tire of reading these immature comments. There's nothing remotely constructive there.
Metalbear: I don't post here much at all, but I've always valued your opinion even when I disagree with. It's a shame to see you go given the obvious reasons you're doing so. Your opinion and insight will be missed. Don't let said trolls dissuade you of that fact.

I don't know how much they pay you, Mr. Blog-Man, but it was a wise investment. iPhone games require momentum to survive (look at how Angry Birds stays afloat at #1) and that momentum requires both good will from the community and a dynamic game experience.ReplyDelete
Keep up the good will by keeping your fans happy and, more importantly, informed. You guys seem to have ambitious plans, and that's fantastic, but if you want the audience to stay and support you, we are going to need information and assurance that things will come to be. Hopefully, things will be timely as well.
A lot of us are looking at those Hardgore teasers and fearing that things, simply, will never happen...that doesn't fill us with excitement or good will.
So please, take the time you need to develop your great product, but keep us abreast and assured that our vigilant waiting will be rewarded.
I'd love for this game to be the sort of thing I recommend to my friends, but honestly, the current level of game is a little lacking. The things you are working on definitely change my mind and could catapult to the top of my 'playing' and 'recommendation' lists, so hopefully I'll be telling friends about you guys soon.

This is the person that completely insulted you in the post after yours. I Had nothing to do with the second one stating your intelligence. All i was saying is the fact that all you did was criticize there was no constructive-ness to your post. and you call yourself a critic. What a critic does is much more then hate on a company for giving out free updates. They also state what went wrong and sometimes where to improve, You did none of this. "If you don't have anything nice to say, shut the hell up". I had no intentions of starting a rage war. Honestly, your the type, that gets all aggressive and I'm guessing your aged 14. I Dont need someone to back me up to stand for something. Thats what makes a person brave. And instead of back answering, about how "wrong" i am, how about switching things up a bit and learning from this. Maybe learn how not to judge a group that releases early information, that maybe they ARE working hard, All people do these days is hate. Where is the Love?

@Cold LeafletReplyDelete
First off, if I feel bothered by something and I wish to express it, I hold the absolute right to do so. It's an opinion, and if you had actually read my statements you would know exactly what my "constructive" criticism was. I stated how I felt they shoulda released the updates. If piece by piece wasn't possible they honestly could release Retina with Ep 4. I wouldan't have minded waiting 4 ep 4. But to release an update that doesn't affect everyone wasn't very fair. I am older than 14 btw. I never hated on the company. I had a problem with one release. It wasn't a "F Mountain Sheep" post... I will continue voicing my opinion, nice or otherwise. U criticize me for back answering and not changing the topic, but aren't u doing the same thing? Oh yeah that's right you r... I can judge whoever however I want whenever. Nothing stops me from it. They feed off that to make better apps and not make mistakes. So how about shutting up urself.

Let em do it then. Until them keep looking out for jcyoutube18. Not here to hate. Simply to give my opinion. Wanted or not. Minigore is still a fine app.
so blog update...........ReplyDelete
I respect you opinion, but I don't think that your complaint makes sense. If the retina display update was going to be in the episode 4 update, what harm has it done to you that it was released earlier? It hasn't delayed episode 4 in any way, because they would have just had to work on it later. Many other people have benefitted from this update, but if you haven't benefitted, you shouldn't be upset that other people did. Personally, I only have an iPhone 3GS, but I've noticed a substantial improvement in frame rates (which MS said was part of the update), to the point that it has much improved my gameplay experience.
And it isn't fair of you to call the update "unfair." If you had an iPhone 4, you would realize how annoying it is to play a game that hasnt been updated for the retina display. The update was much needed for iPhone 4 owners—you could almost put it on the level of a bug. just be happy you don't have this "bug" :-).
@Tim MackeyReplyDelete
My complaint is this. Congrats to the iPhone 4 owners and their retina update. That is awesome. I am not so selfish that I am hating on them for getting something I could not. My problem is that is has been a VERY long time. There is no doubt a LOT of ppl were waiting for an update from these guys. Particularly episode 4. Or maybe something to tide us over. The app was fun for the iPhone 4 owners b4 the update. They won't die if they have to wait a while longer for retina. I'm sure they woulda still been playing like they were b4. The same goes for me. I won't die if Ep 4 NEVER comes out, let alone if it takes a super long time. The facts are, it really has taken quite some time for Ep 4, and bigger apps have gotten faster updates. Finally an update comes out. If it were a bug fix, cool. Annoying, but cool. A new character, yano, something... But it was an iPhone 4 ONLY update. The description said nothing about frame rates for iPhone 3GS and frankly, I see no difference. I am glad for the 4 owners and all that. But seriously, my point is not that hard to understand... Like u think about Minigore every once in a blue moon for a little while like: "I wonder when Ep 4 will be out." And then an update pops up and it's a bug fix or something. "Damn, but ok." Then another update a long time later and it's just a freaking retina thing? BS to the fullest. App developers of other apps say all the time that they will release smaller updates for apps so they can release more material and quicker. Break it down into pieces. So excuse me for not being an app developer, but it other apps can do it, I need to understand why they can't. My main issue tho is waiting acres to release an update and finally bringing my hope up just to let it down again with some retina and a frame rate I can't tell the difference of.
Hey @jcyoutube18ReplyDelete
I can understand your frustration with waiting for episode 4—we all feel like we've been waiting a very long time for it, and especially for multiplayer. We have to remember though that MS is a TINY studio (They have what? 3 people in house? 2 full time?) Many mobile games have a dozen or even many dozen people working on them. Creating a game is a lot of work, involving 1000s of man-hours. I'm pretty sure that MS isn't off somewhere vacationing, they're working their butts off to get this update finished. It just takes time.
After taking another look in the app store, I realize that you are right that the update only mentions that it was for iPhone 4. That info is incorrect though; the retina display support is for iPhone 4, but there is also a big framerate improvement for the previous iPhones and iPod touch. There is also apparently a bug fix for a problem where weapon crate explosions would slow down the game or even crash it on older devices. This is mentioned both in this post and in the September 17th post.
As for why they can't release episode 4 as smaller updates: Here's a link to a recent comment from Timo where he explains in detail why episode 4 cannot be released in separate chunks:
- Cold LeafletSeptember 24, 2010 at 5:53 AM
Thank you. For multiple reasons, One of them being, showing me i was wrong, the other one was not acting like a child and just yelling and shouting. I'm sorry i didn't see your point of view in the beginning. Thanks for showing me what i missed. You have all the right to express your opinion and after reading your post again i get what you meant to say.
Sorry we got off on the wrong foot, Hope we can get along.
I read the article already actually. As I am constantly trying to defend, I don't care how long it takes for the update. If they hadn't released the retina, I never woulda even came here to comment. I just feel that after such a time period, it woulda made everybody feel better to just keep blogging and release the retina AFTER or WITH Ep 4. I don't recall reading in that post that the next update was gonna be retina at the end. Had I remembered or known at all, maybe I woulda just not commented at all. Then again, maybe, and actually, most likely, I still woulda and therefore have. Point being, it simple, well, I've said it enough.
As I said, I'm not 14. No offense to the responsible mature 14 year olds out there. (Rare breed) so don't worry bout it. Glad my point is being understood more in the forum by more ppl though.
- MachinationSeptember 25, 2010 at 7:47 AM
So by the sounds of it, we'll be having another small update before Episode 4. Meaning, support for Game Center, new Leaderboards, Totem difficulty choosers, Kill points, and retina display for iPT4.ReplyDelete

- MachinationSeptember 26, 2010 at 11:04 AM
After much elapsed pondering, to me, Minigore still remains the most promising game in the App Store. With such extraordinary fundamentals, I sit on the edge of my seat, shaking in anticipation for Episode 4. Since a year ago, you promised Co-op Multiplayer. I understand that multiplayer is a new coding system for Kimmo, and I know it will be done before I become too decrepit to dress on my own accord. All I can do now, is wait, and elaborate these beautiful presumptions of mine, for what I assume Minigore will become.ReplyDelete
I know that once Episode 4 is release, much of the built up stagnation will dissolve. In many ways, this episode has been an impairment, with fans expecting, wanting only its release. With it over, perhaps we can see some of the mentioned features, like new maps, a story mode, Hardgore even.
This is merely what I would like to see. The blue bulbous menu buttons fit to the theme of Minigore, but i personally would prefer a redesign. Why not a Main Menu cracked into four- six pieces, each piece with an image of what it links to? A top left piece with an intense picture of John Gore, shooting at furries, blood splattered, with a title of "Survival". A top right piece with John Gore holding a flaming torch, with furry eyes all around, denoted as "Story", or perhaps towers embodied by furies, titled as "HardGore". Bottom right can be "options", with John Gore holding his set of tools…
I would like it if the character star system were removed. Several characters I will never use, and it pains me to have a star system you have no control over.As you add more characters, and as we play with our favorites, why would we need stars to indicate our favorites, if we ourselves know which we like emphatically?
I'm ecstatic to hear this reset of the leaderboards. Foolish it was to have scores of older episodes, for which portrayed not our current ability, but a past performance superfluous to our contemporary skill.
Kill scoring and multipliers furthers my ecstasy. Totem poles for difficulties, another brilliance.
I wish you would evolve from the character carousel. Take us straight to the map, with our preferred character denoted in a small window above the maps. If we want to change characters, let us touch this window, then it brings us to the carousel.
I very much hope you give characters special abilities. You had a very long time ago asked what us fans would prefer, a dashing or grenade ability for John Gore. This is brilliant. Especially with your mention of land mines. At this point, the straight to the point shooting leaves much to be desired. Small elements, like collision, special abilities, traps, manipulable objects, etc. diversify the gameplay.
That is all.

Just as his Toussaint
L'ouverture lead the Haitian Revolution, Wyclef Jean has returned to
his Hip-Hop roots with his latest EP From The Hut, From The Projects,
To The Mansion to spark a musical revolution. Despite never really
having left the public eye, the pioneering musician felt it was necessary
to return to rhyming under an alias to reflect his current revolutionary
mindframe. Introducing Toussaint St. Jean, but this does not mark an
exit for Wyclef Jean, but rather a new chapter in his already fascinating
"Revolution is in my bloodline,"
he says, before explaining how Toussaint was one of the key figures
in the Revolution for Haiti. "So with the tone of the message that
I would be giving when I rapped, the name automatically came to me,"
he elaborates. "The EP goes back to the essence. It was important
to go back to the basics and the fundamentals, because sometimes you
get so big that people forget where you come from," he adds. "I
wanted people to understand that I have not forgotten Hip-Hop. Ive
not forgotten lyrics; that is very important in what I do."
From The Hut, To The Projects,
To The Mansion not only documents Wyclef's personal success story,
but also reflects his musical journey and progression. The project stands
out for a number of reasons, but perhaps most notably for the intriguing
choice of featured artists, including 80's pop singer Cindi Lauper,
Lil Kim and Eve. Explaining his unconventional choice of vocalist for
Slumdog Millionaire, he jokes "I wanted that Cindi Lauper swag,
so why not just get Cindi Lauper?" He also points out that many
female vocalists today have been heavily influenced by the singer.
Perhaps most striking of all,
however, is Eve's performance on Suicide Love, which is reminiscent
of her earlier, more agressive rhyming style. "Everyone is like
'yo Eve sounds so sharp on that record and she hasnt been out in
a minute, why does she sound so sharp?' But I think, what happened is
you always have to remember that as a producer Im always going to
try to focus and bring the best out of an artist," Wyclef explains.
"The cool thing with Eve was, when she was doing the vocals she
was with Salaam Remi and Salaam is one of my mentors (he did the Fugees)."
He then adds, "She was able to pull out the passion naturally because
shes still one of the best, period."
Suicide Love provides
a long-awaited answer to Wyclef and Eve's critics, who insist that both
artists may have traded in their grittiness and relevancy for mainstream
success. As he honestly admits in The Streets Pronounce Me Dead,
"Last time, [they] felt me was when I rhymed with Big Pun."
Frankly his concern is greater than just Hip-Hop these days with his
music catering to people from all corners of the globe, although as
he proves with the EP he is still a "warrior," he just chooses
a variety of outlets to vocalize his struggle now.
"At the end of the day,
as long as you have overcame something (and be clear, its not about
if youre from the ghetto or from the suburbs or from the hut), if
you feel that you have accomplished that thing when people counted you
out and you rose to the occasion, you are a warrior," he stresses.
After all, it is much more lucrative to produce and pen hits for some
of the biggest names in the music world and by doing so, Wyclef has
ensured that his music and messages will reach a more diverse, global
audience. He explains that while his EP represented Hip-Hip, his forthcoming
album "is going to represent the world."
Due in Spring 2010, his eponymous
album Wyclef Jean marks the precursor to a true musical revolution.
He jokes that following his return to Hip-Hop, with the album he "is
bringing that stadium music." Although most artists tend to go
the self-entitled route for debuts, Wyclef felt that despite his extensive
career, the project marks the first true introduction to himself. "This
is the first album in my whole entire career where the first seven songs
are only going to be Wyclef. [It's] an insight into just me, because
its time for you all to know who I am," he explains.
"The album is Wyclef Jean
the complete artist," he declares proudly. "When you come
to the show, its the man playing seven instruments; the man sings,
the man rhymes, the man dances and the girls throw their things on stage,"
he jokes. "The guys go crazy, they pick up chairs and want to throw
them in the air and thats all going to be on one album!" He
then explains that the album attempts to recreate the atmosphere at
his concerts. "The first seven records youre going to hear are
very personal, like when you come to my show the first thing I do is
I get my guitar and talk to you for like 30 minutes.We talk. We converse.
Then after that I pick up the microphone and then the party starts."
"When you put on that
Wyclef album, its going to be a sing-along album from beginning to
end. Im going to make sure that you sing every song and the album
is all stories. Every song is a story." Hoping his album will inspire
others to tap into their own creativity, he explains, "Im going
to close [the album] with me going crazy on guitar on a joint called
Guitar Hero. So, all of my little aspiring guitar players, make
sure you get your guitar and learn that song."
Wyclef Jean promises
to transgress musical boundaries like never before. The lead single from
the project will be Hold On, an optimistic collaboration with
Dancehall singer Mavado. "I wanted to set the tone of the album
in a sense of letting people know where my mind set is at," he
clarifies. "With everything going on in the world, its good
to have like a feel-good record and let people know its all going
to be ok." He passionately describes the offering as "the
pinnacle of the start," before elaborating, "this album has
to be right because this represents a new millennium and this is the
sound that I want to go with for the future."
Hopefully From The Hut,
To The Projects, To The Mansion and Wyclef Jean will also
succeed in opening doors for his other main passion, Haiti. Since founding
his charity Yéle Haiti in 2005, Wyclef has worked tirelessly to improve
the bleak outlook for his homeland. Sadly many fellow expats do not
share his vision; he explains, "Haitian people in America have
got to get it straight and go back and start helping their country,
because if everyone is starting to go back and help your country, you
cant sit back and let them do the work."
"If Bill Clinton is going
back to your country, everyone is going back to your country; you should
be in your country right now doing some work," he adds in an accusative
tone. "Its like I said on the mixtape, "From the hut, to
the projects, to the mansion." No excuses; lets get it!"
As Wyclef recognizes, it is not going to take a quick fix to mend years
of poverty and corruption in Haiti, but rather long-term initiatives.
His main goal is to raise funds
to build the Yéle Center, which will be a "ten year process."
Wyclef explains that theYéle Center "will be a facility that consists
of a sports center, Wyclef Jean School of the Arts, a cultural center
focusing on the environment and an internet café." "Thats
the key; we build sustainable opportunity," he says optimistically."When
people approach Haiti they try to save a nation and in order to save
a nation, you have to start by saving very few. So with Yéle Haiti
its not about saving the nation, its about saving a few kids and
these kids will save the nation."
In order to make the Yéle
Center become a reality, Wyclef appeals to all his "warriors that
are online" to join him in a massive social networking project
that will take place in about six months from now. "Were going
to use Twitter, were going to use Facebook, were going to put
all of our energies together and everyones going to donate $1, thats
it," he explains. "$1 can make a difference in a childs
life." Effectively using his internet presence to drive a massive
fundraising effort, he invites "everybody online to get with [him]
on that, to see if we can start raising money to put toward the Yéle
With Twitter being used by
rappers for a number of interesting and obscure purposes, it is refreshing
to see a Hip-Hop artist putting it to a positive and productive use.
As Wyclef explains proudly, "Were putting out the message of
revolution, not the revolution of the arms but the revolution of the
mind. Bring people together." The veteran entertainer reveals that
he shares a gift with his late father, the ability to captivate his
listeners. "If youre going to listen to me, I can get you to
do almost anything," he says light-heartedly before adding on a
more serious note, "so its good that you use the influence to
have people do positive things."
Having said that, he is quick
to point out that music in essence is still a form of entertainment
and feels that people should be less judgmental toward the more commercial
artists. "I dont knock any of it," he says. "As much
as we want to think Soulja Boy is stupid because the kids are singing
Get Your Swag On, its the same way they thought we were stupid
when we were dancing to the Humpty Hump." "Maybe were
getting old," he jokes. "Yall go ahead and get old, Im
staying young. Im getting my swag on!" After all, "Hip-Hop
is always about revolution and youre going to get change in it."
He explains that the genre is merely "a reflection of the community"
and its various aspects.
As Wyclef acknowledges, in
order to progress and retain relevancy in the industry today you have
to adapt, experiment and reinvent your own style. "I think longevity
has to do with the passion, how passionate are you for what you do,"
he says reflectively. "There are very few people that are passionate
about what they do and you can hear those people because every time
they do a record, they act like its their first record, every time
they go onstage, they act like its their first show." He adds,
"you can see that passion through the years." In fact, if
there is one common factor throughout Wyclef"s work it is that
genuine passion for music and From The Hut, To The Projects, To The
Mansion is no exception. With Toussaint St. Jean at the forefront,
a revolution of sorts may well be imminent.

Quantcast is an audience measurement service and Fast Company ranked it as Third Most Innovative Company on the Web and one of Top 50 Most Innovative Companies in the World.
While Quantcast goes global with local audience insights and real-time world, we have interviewed with Konrad Feldman.
Fırat Demirel – Hi Konrad, can you introduce yourself and your company please?
Konrad Feldman – CEO and co-founder along with Paul Sutter, President.
Quantcast launched in 2006 and we are based in San Francisco and New York. Our mission is to measure and organize the world's real-time audiences so advertisers can buy, sell and connect with the people who matter most to them.
F.D. – How is Quantcast different from its competitors as comScore, Alexa or Compete?
K.F. – We believe that the ability to power addressable advertising solutions will be the defining characteristic of effective digital media.
From inception, Quantcast has pioneered the first direct measurement solution that provides the media marketplace with real-time information about their audiences. This impression level data transforms the audience measurement landscape from one of historical/retrospective, aggregate reporting to now enable the media marketplace to buy and sell the most consistent, accountable audiences.
Importantly, we don't sell audience measurement services – all of them are completely free of charge. We only charge when publishers use our real-time audience segmentation technology. So, that's a big difference, not only do we provide the world's best audience measurement solution, but it's completely free when others charge tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.
F.D. – What are your advantages for online publishers?
K.F. – By providing the foundation of better audience data and measurement, we are empowering the publisher community to both better represent their audiences to advertisers and to segment them at a much deeper level to enable advertiser relationships to be formed.
F.D. – Quantcast measures more than just traffic on web sites, also measures flash media such as videos or widgets. What kind of technology/algorithm do you use on your measurements?
K.F. – The company uses client-side software instrumentation to record every media consumption event for participating media companies. These events include any aspect of media consumption for which audience measurement is required, for example page-views, video starts/stops/rewinds, ad pod progression, user engagement such as telescoping, etc. We have integrations available for Flash and Silverlight as well as for many leading video and ad serving platforms.
F.D. – As we shared on Webrazzi, you publish mobile web trends in annual. What are your thoughts about Mobile Future?
K.F. – The amount of web media that's consumed via mobile devices will just increase and app makers and vendors will increasingly make it easier for us to do things on the go. Mobile web consumption is growing exponentially, last year it was up 110% in North America and 148% globally. We all expect more from our phones, but the vendors and the app makers will show us what's really possible. The power of handheld mobile devices and broader access to broadband wireless connections will be the key and soon this platform will present even more, real opportunities for the media marketplace.
F.D. – Turkey has a great potential with it's nearly 30M internet users (3rd largest country on Facebook) Do you have any measurements for Turkey and do you think any expansion on this area?
K.F. – Stay tuned! [Update: Quantcast shared a global announcement]
F.D. – We have entertained NuBridge VC&Angel Summits in a few weeks ago and Etohum(turkish startup camp) declared new 15 startups last weekend. Also there are Grou.ps, Marro.ws and Put.io on global area. So Turkey is on a new rising line. As a company founded with $53.2M, what are your suggestions for Turkish entrepreneurs?
K.F. – Find something that you love doing, build a great team and focus on a world-class product.
F.D. – Quantcast ranked 3rd rank at Fast Company. Can you tell us about future enhancements with Quantcast?
K.F. – Our focus is to help the advertising community understand and leverage their audience data so they can improve the way they communicate with and serve their customers. We will continue to innovate and evolve our offering in ways that support this and all our Quantified Publishers.
F.D. – Konrad thanks for sharing your time.
K.F. – My pleasure.

Lent is a time for remembering the needs of others, says the Rev. Tom Bonderenko, administrator of shelter services for Associated Catholic Charities which sends out "Lenten lists" of desperately needed foods and other goods to interested churches, civic groups or individuals.
Many churches of all faiths ask their parishioners to contribute canned foods and other goods to give to the poor. Father Bonderenko says all contributions are welcome but some are more useful than others.
Here is a list of the top 10 most needed items:
* Canned meats, such as tuna.
* Canned vegetables, especiallygreen vegetables.
* Canned ravioli or spaghetti.
* Peanut butter and jelly.

By Laura Zuckerman
SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - Idaho wildlife managers are aiming to allow children as young as 10 years old to hunt big game such as bears and mountain lions, lowering the permissible age from 12 to recruit more young hunters.
Under a measure expected to be approved by the state's Republican-led legislature, children ages 10 and 11 could use long-range rifles to take down everything from elk to wolves, provided the youngsters have passed a hunter education course and are accompanied by an adult licensed to hunt in Idaho.
For years, sales of hunting and fishing licenses in Idaho have been flat, hovering at 335,000 in 2013 despite growth in the state's overall population, wildlife managers say. Department of Fish and Game officials hope to boost the number of licensed hunters by promoting hunting as a form of family recreation in an era where children are often preoccupied with more sedentary activities such as texting and electronic gaming.
Fish and Game Deputy Director Sharon Kiefer said the campaign to expand hunting options comes as more wives and mothers are engaged in the sport. She conceded that the proposal may not be welcomed by parents with mixed feelings about a child aged 10 or 11 in the field with a powerful firearm.
"This is not a mandate and we're not in a position of dictating that. It just opens the opportunity for parental discretion and family outings," she said.
Many U.S. states do not set a minimum hunting age, but impose requirements such as hunter education courses that would tend to exclude young children, said Evan Heusinkveld, vice president of government affairs for the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance.
But most Western U.S. states, including Colorado and Montana, where big game hunting is more common, require children to be 12 or older to hunt such animals with an accompanying adult, according to data from the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Age restrictions for hunting big game are partly due to challenges posed by rugged terrain and the complicated ballistics involved in shooting at long distances. Of the states that place age limits on hunting, only a small number, including Maine and Nebraska, allow 10-year-olds to hunt big game.
Bill Brassard, spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, said apprentice hunting programs that pair young children or novices with skilled hunters have been successful at preventing shooting accidents.
Tony Latham, retired Idaho conservation officer and former hunter education instructor, said he was wary of allowing 10-year-olds in the field with a rifle that can shoot a bullet for miles. He said even scaled-down versions of hunting rifles known as youth-model guns may be too weighty for small children.
"I'm hesitant from a maturity standpoint and from the size of a 10-year-old in relation to a 7- or 8-pound rifle. I'm not quite seeing the math, to tell you the truth," he said.
Jim Toynbee, a hunter education instructor in Idaho for 40 years, said he favors lowering the minimum age of big-game hunters if it encourages children to embrace outdoor recreation.
"We're on the right track if we're introducing young children to Mother Nature," he said.
The plan would not have been as feasible in previous decades when firearms manufacturers did not produce youth-model guns, Toynbee said. But one possible downside of younger hunters are more poor shots.
"Children get so excited that they may wound animals by taking shots that experienced hunters wouldn't," he said.

Jamie Foxx to star in Tarantinos next "Django Unchained"
Wow, at first glance sounds like oil and water....but im down with this in a weird way. QT hasnt let me down yet.
Will Smith has emerged as the frontrunner to star in Quentin Tarantinos next film, Django Unchained, a spaghetti Western about a slave in the Old South who teams with a German bounty hunter to search for his wife.
Tarantino stalwarts Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz also are circling key parts.
The film, Tarantinos follow-up to his worldwide blockbuster Inglourious Basterds, will be distributed domestically by the Weinstein Co., but Tarantino is in the process of selecting a studio partner to release the film internationally. Sources say he was meeting with Universal executives Friday, and similar meetings with Sony, Paramount, Warner Bros. and possibly others have been scheduled.
Sources prepped for those meetings say Tarantino would like Smith to star in the film, the script for which has been making the rounds in recent days to wide acclaim. No official offer has been made to Smith, and any deal would of course be subject to working out financials, which might be difficult given Smith's status as one of Hollywood's few sure-thing stars.
Indeed, though Smith has been out of multiplexes since 2008s Seven Pounds, he is still considered among the top two or three box-office draws worldwide.
Smith is being teed up for the title role of Django, a freed slave who seeks to reunite with his slave wife, a journey that will see him team with a German bounty hunter to take down an evil plantation owner.
Tarantino wrote the bounty hunter part with Waltz in mind, according to insiders. The German ends up training Django and helping him seek his wife.
Jackson would play the house slave to the bad guy, Monsieur Calvin Candie. The slave is an expert manipulator and will face off with Django.
Smith and his reps have received the screenplay, which could be a hot potato due to the themes of racism and the liberal use of the N-word. It's unclear whether Smith has read the script yet. The actor manages his image very carefully, but the part is heroic and could be iconic. And lets not forget that Denzel Washington won his two Oscars playing characters who used the N-word.
Tarantino is aiming for a fall shoot in the South, possibly in Louisiana, but the exact locale has not been determined.
"The actor manages his image very carefully"
<iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EL9QkoMkSTM?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
And for the record, I'd love to see what Tarantino could bring out of Smith. He really is a decent actor when he gets away from the summer blockbuster and given a chance.
Really, I've only seen Will Smith "act" in 2 films. But whatever, he's rich as **** doing what he does and he seems like an intelligent person.
So QT is making a "spaghetti western" which is a western film shot in Europe with an Italian director that will be shot in the South?? Got it.
If Will Smith is in it...I will watch it. Only movie of his I haven't watched is Wild Wild West and that's because that was a pure abortion from what I've heard.
Can't decide which would be stranger: a QT movie where the F word isn't dropped every 4th word or Will Smith in a movie dropping the F word every 4th word.
Guys, I like Will Smith a lot more than QT. I said I wouldn't see another QT movie. But with Will Smith in it.... I might just have to.
Apparently, hes cast Jamie Foxx as DJango...
Lots of actors circled the title role for Quentin Tarantino's DJANGO UNCHAINED - Will Smith, Idris Elba - but one actor has apparently signed on the line that is dotted - Jamie Foxx, who will join Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, and Christoph Waltz in Tarantino's "Southern", his slave drama film, to be released in 2012,
Foxx is no stranger to dramatic roles, having won the Oscar for RAY, and I think he's a good choice. My personal favorite was Elba, but Foxx is no slouch and will work well with the cast. I just want to see this thing - I haven't read the script. I read INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS and regretted it - it was such a rich script that I wish I'd held out and experienced it first on the big screen. Won't be making that mistake this time. DJANGO UNCHAINED is being produced by the Weinstein Company
Will Smith doesn't have the balls to do a movie like that.
Meh. Shoulda gone with Stringer.
He has the chops, he just prefers not to risk anything. If it's not a summer blockbuster, don't even bother calling.
