Dear residents and friends,
I deeply appreciate your support and confidence and I look forward to an ongoing dialogue with you on the many issues, challenges and opportunities we'll face together as a community here in Ward 22, St. Paul's and as a city.
I'm advocating for a more thoughtful, creative and responsible new approach for city council. I want council to engage our city's residents with an inspiring plan and make informed decisions that are based on evidence, community consultation and the merits of arguments - rather than ideology or left or right-wing partisanship.
My staff and I are here to assist you with any concerns or questions you may have. We're also working every day to improve our local neighbourhoods- along with supporting the many valued services Torontonians rely on every day. You are always welcome to contact me at 416-392-7906 or by email at email@example.com.

Notice of Motion (April 2013 Council Meeting) - Butt Out: Taking Responsibility for Waste from Cigarettes
The City of Toronto has made great strides to help reduce the incidence of smoking. Successive bans on tobacco smoke in workplaces, restaurants, bars and other public spaces have succeeded in reducing second-hand smoke and the social acceptance of smoking.
However, there are still a significant number of smokers in our city and these positive policies have created some unintentional negative consequences. The current by-laws do not address the reality that many smokers are now littering on our public sidewalks.
While some bar and restaurant owners provide cigarette butt receptacles for their patrons, this is done on an ad hoc basis. This motion requests that the City Manager work with representatives from the restaurant and bar industry to develop an appropriate solution to the unsightly problem of cigarette butts littered on Toronto's sidewalks and streets.
1.City Council request the City Manager to consult with representatives from the restaurant and bar industry to develop an appropriate solution to the unsightly problem of cigarette butts littered on Toronto's sidewalks and streets; including receptacles.
2.The findings from the consultation requested in recommendation (1) be delivered in a report to Municipal Licensing and Standards Committee by July 2013
Dear residents,
If you were able to take a March break, I hope you had a very enjoyable time with your family.
If, like me, you were working this week, I hope this finds you well nonetheless :)
Please see my latest update to you below. As always, please feel very welcome to contact me or my staff if we can be of assistance.
PS- Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Synchronized Traffic Lights
I believe curbing Toronto's traffic congestion must be a priority for council. That's why I've been strongly supporting investment in a better, and expanded, transit system and cracking down on "curb hogs" who stop in traffic during rush hour. For many months, I've also been working to improve the synchronization of our city's traffic signals. Some lights are already synchronized, but many are broken down or use out of date technology. On my request, City staff will be reporting soon on how to improve the system and help get traffic flowing better.
You can read more about this issue in the Toronto Star and you can watch my interview with CTV News.
Toronto Casino Update
As I've written to you before, the majority of Ward 22 residents have told me they oppose a Toronto casino and I share their view. Based on consistent reports on problem gambling, traffic gridlock and potential adverse affects on the local economy, I will not be supporting a casino in the City of Toronto. I know that some of you may disagree with my decision. However, I respectfully submit to you that the known negatives outweigh any suggested benefits, and it's simply not worth the gamble.
I believe a report regarding a casino will arrive at Executive Committee in April and then be considered by Council by May of this year.
Many people have requested more information about the "No Casino" lawn signs they've seen around our neighbourhood. These are provided at no charge by the grassroots organization No Casino Toronto.

New Funding for Central Eglinton Community Centre and Northern Secondary School
Accessibility upgrades and other improvements are coming soon to the Central Eglinton Community Centre (CECC), funded with $25,000 paid by condo developers for the privilege of building in our community. The CECC provides a variety of programs and services for people of all ages including parent/child activities and a range of social, recreational and leisure programs for older adults and seniors. This funding will help ensure that the CECC, and its important programs and services, will be fully accessible for people of all abilities.
I've also directed $75,000 to Northern Secondary School to transform the lawn on Mount Pleasant Road into an attractive public space for everyone to enjoy. The new outdoor meeting and learning area, which was once Walmsley Brook, will suggest a dry river bed with trees, rock seating areas, plantings and flagstone paths. This project will be of particular interest to the residents of several seniors' homes in the area who will benefit from nearby green space.
You can read more about both of these improvements in the Town Crier.

Dear residents,
Please read below my latest community update to keep you engaged and informed. I wish you a very happy International Women's Day.
Remembering Charlotte Maher
This week, I was deeply saddened to learn of my friend Charlotte Maher's passing. Charlotte made invaluable contributions to the Midtown and North Toronto community through her pioneering work with organizations such as People and Organizations in North Toronto (P.O.I.N.T), the Central Eglinton Community Centre, the Upper Yonge Village Day Care, the Sherwood Park Residents' Association, and Senior Peoples' Resources in North Toronto (SPRINT).
It was an honour to work with Charlotte on creating an age-friendly Toronto. I loved her dearly and will always appreciate the many contributions she made over many years to our community.
On behalf of our community, I am so grateful to Chrlotte Maher for her many contributions. She will be missed.
International Women's Day
Proclaimed in 1977 by the United Nations, International Women's Day is an international day of reflection on women's rights and advances that have been made towards women's equality both in Canada and internationally. This year, International Women's Day is being celebrated today on Friday, March 8th. I urge you to take a moment to reflect on all the advances made in the women's rights movement as well as reflect on the challenges still facing women today. I hope that we can all work towards a day that my daughter, and all women, will have truly equal access to every one of life's opportunities.
Seniors Strategy at Community Development and Recreation Committee
As Chair of the Seniors Strategy Subcommittee, I am very pleased to confirm that the City of Toronto's Seniors Strategy will be coming to the Community Development and Recreation Committee (CDRC) on April 17th before going to City Council in May. Please be advised that this date had changed recently, as the Seniors Strategy was originally scheduled to go before CDRC on March 18th. I have heard many positive suggestions to improve our city's physical environment to reflect the priorities of an aging population and look forward to discussing the Strategy further at CDRC next month and encourage you to come and either visit, or even make a deputation, at this meeting!
Taking Action on the Roots of Youth Violence
It's been such an honour working with our communities and the co-authors of the Review of the Roots of Youth Violence, Dr. Alvin Curling and the Honourable Roy McMurtry, to move this important work forward. I would like to once again thank Mayor Ford and my colleagues for their unanimous support of my motion, Taking Action on the Roots of Youth Violence. I am very happy to share with you a recent letter from Dr. Curling, commending Toronto City Council for addressing this priority and encouraging us to not stop stop until this work is done.
Improving snow removal services for Toronto's residents
This winter I have heard from many of you, with some valid and reasonable concerns with regards to the City's level of service when it comes to snow removal.
Prior to my February 28th meeting with the General Manager of Transportation, I shared with you a letter itemizing theses concerns with City staff and I indicated I wanted to help find ways to resolve these concerns.
As a follow up on this issue, please see my letter to the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee asking that formal direction be given to staff to address the service level gaps for snow removal. I will update you as this progresses.
Art Shoppe Update
After many years of speculation about the future of the Art Shoppe site at 2131 Yonge Street, developers have submitted an application to build two residential towers of 38 and 29 storeys. Local residents and I met with the applicants and firmly expressed that due to the lack of transition between the towers and the single-family neighbourhood to the east, the proposal is completely inappropriate. Also, the Art Shoppe site is outside of the designated Yonge-Eglinton Growth area as defined by the Province and the City. The community accepts that a development of some kind will occur at this location, but a mid rise building would be more appropriate.
City Planning is in agreement with the community and me on this site and we will co-host a public meeting in the spring. I will be sure to provide information on the meeting as soon as it becomes available. As soon as I receive a preliminary report from City staff, I will post it on the interactive map on my website.

Councillor Matlow's Motion, Improving Levels of Service Related to Snow Removal in the City of Toronto
March 7th, 2013
TO: Chair & Members, Public Works and Infrastructure Committee
FROM: Councillor Josh Matlow
RE: Improving Levels of Service Related to Snow Removal in the City of Toronto
In Canada, it should come as no surprise when we experience a snowstorm. And Toronto, on February 8th 2013, had what was reported as the largest snowfall in several years- and it was forecasted several days in advance.
While this was one relatively severe winter storm, I believe, based on my own experience and from what I heard from residents, this snowstorm highlighted many long standing service gaps that need to be resolved.
While, there are significant problems encountered across the city, there are unique challenges faced on many of our streets in the old City of Toronto. With narrower streets and abundance of on-street parking that our residents and small businesses rely on, it is much more difficult to safely and efficiently clear and remove snow from our roads and sidewalks.
This winter I have heard from many residents in my Ward who have some major concerns about the City response in clearing and removing snow from our streets and sidewalks.
These concerns include:
- Permit parking spaces lost to snow banks and windrows
- Vehicles parked on the street were plowed in
- Parking lanes on major arterial roads were not fully cleared, creating traffic bottlenecks
- Plows pushed huge piles of snow back on to the sidewalk after being cleared by residents
- Windrows blocking pedestrian crossing and access points
- TTC passengers in some areas were unable to access bus stops
- Windrows blocking driveway entrances
- By-law enforcement had backlogs in addressing snow clearing complaints on private properties
- Public sidewalks not adequately cleared of ice and snow.
- Many steep hills including those on Mt. Pleasant, Yonge Street, Avenue Road and Bathurst Street, where drivers struggle to gain traction were not sufficiently cleared
While I personally found staff to be earnest in their attempts to address the problems identified on a case by case basis, the real issue is the longstanding service gap when it comes to snow removal on our midtown and downtown avenues, streets, roads, crescents, boulevards, laneways and sidewalks. The city does not provide a level of service that is equitable across the entire city.
I am asking that Transportation Services Staff to report back to the Public Works Committee on a strategy to address the service gaps with regards to snow clearing across the city. This strategy should address the current barriers to an equitable level of service across the city, specifically how to work better to remove and not just clear snow from our more narrow streets and those with on street parking. This strategy should also address concerns raised regarding pedestrian safety, including quicker removal of windrows that are blocking sidewalk access and crossing points, and clearer direction including a public awareness campaign and better enforcement when private property owners do not adequately clear snow off of public sidewalks.
That the General Manager of Transportation Services review and report back to the Public Works Committee with recommendations on how to improve the level of service for snow removal to including, but not limited to; removing snow piles and windrows from where they are blocking on street parking spaces that both residents and local businesses depend on, fully clearing parking lanes on major arterial roads to prevent traffic bottlenecks, ensuring vital pedestrian access points along public sidewalks are kept clear at both major intersections and a TTC stops, enhancing both by-law enforcement and providing better communication to property owners on their responsibility to clear snow off of public sidewalks, across the City of Toronto and providing an equitable level of service across the city when it comes to removing windrows from driveways and sidewalk snow clearing.

Re: PG 18.7 (1)
Dear Chair and Committee Members,
We are writing to request that the Committee consider the accompanying recommendation to prohibit paid visitor parking in multi residential/apartment buildings.
While the City of Toronto has the authority to change the zoning in relation to apartments, removing this amenity may have complicated consequences for tenants and landlords under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. Part VII, Section 125 states:
A landlord shall decrease the rent charged to a tenant for a rental unit as prescribed if the landlord and the tenant agree that the landlord will cease to provide anything referred to in subsection 123(1) [which includes a parking space or a prescribed service, facility, privilege, accommodation or thing] with respect to the tenant's occupancy of the rental unit.
Allowing paid visitor parking may require each individual tenant to apply for a rent reduction (or challenge the removal of the amenity) to the landlord and/or the Landlord and Tenant Board. We submit that it would be unfair to subject tenants to such an onerous process.
Beyond the legal question, we do not believe that allowing paid visitor parking would address the problem of parking lot abuse, or "walk aways", as landlords contend.
Committee members have received correspondence from property owners and managers claiming that charging for parking does not bring in additional revenue and is solely aimed at better "regulating" visitor lots by keeping non-visitors out. If no differentiation is made in regards to who pays the ticket, adding a pay and display machine will not ensure that only legitimate tenant visitors are using the allotted spaces.
If the goal is to ensure that only those visiting tenants are using the lots there are many other avenues to achieve that end. For example, an electronic passcard issued to tenants that opens a gate or a pass issued by a superintendent to display on the dash are two possible solutions.
We urge you not to unfairly take an amenity away from the 50% of Torontonians that are tenants by moving forward with the Committee's recommendation to allow landlords to charge for visitor parking.
- Direct that the draft Zoning By-law be amended to retain the prohibition on paid visitor parking in multi-residential/apartment buildings, previously recommended for deletion by the Planning & Growth Management Committee on October 12, 2012 (item PG 18.7 )
- Request the Chief Planner to set up a working group of tenants and landlords to address instances of abuse at visitor parking lots without charging for access
- Request that the working group identified in (2) report to the Planning & Growth Management Committee by June 2013

Professor of History
PhD Georgetown University, 1998.
Steven Phillips teaches about China, Taiwan, and United States relations with East Asia. He earned his PhD in in East Asian History at Georgetown University in 1998. His research focuses on China and Taiwan, 1800-present, particularly political and diplomatic history, the Cold War, nationalism, and international relations. He is currently researching Chinese Nationalist foreign policy during the Cold War.
Dr. Phillips assisted with four Fulbright Group Project Abroad Grants (2006, 2008, 2010, and 2013). These grants enabled a dozen K-12 teachers, mainly from Maryland, to spend five weeks in China and Taiwan escorted by Dr. Phillips and Professor Jin Lijun of the College of Education. The teachers visited key historic sites and interacted with Chinese scholars in order to gain new perspectives on the Middle Kingdom.
In 2008-2011 Dr. Phillips held Towson University's first Mitten Professorship in the College of Liberal Arts. This enabled him to arrange a series of talks about the challenges and opportunities offered by China's rise. His goal was to ensure that this lengthy series of talks, when taken as a whole, provided a balanced overview of the People's Republic, and did not hew to any single political agenda. These talks were designed to engage diverse audiences from outside of academia. Baltimore City and Baltimore County citizens had an opportunity to hear people like Dr. Richard Bush, a former diplomat, discuss Sino-American relations and journalist Adama Gaye talk about China's influence in Africa.
Dr. Phillips often gives talks and writes about China's history and current events, as well as the impact of China's rise on the United States. His goal is to give Marylanders a balanced overview of the challenges presented by a more powerful People's Republic of China.

Originally written on Pass The Pill | Last updated 11/17/14
The Wizards are ready to offer a max deal to prized point guard, John Wall If John Wall didn't miss the first 33 games of the season, could the Washington Wizards have been a fringe playoff team? The Wiz are 18-15 with Wall in the starting lineup. Wall also is shooting a career high 44.4% from the field. In just his third season, the 22 year-old Wall is the face of a struggling Wizards franchise that can't afford to lose him. Thus, all signs are pointing towards the Wizards offering Wall the max deal. Via CSN Washington: Will the Wizards give John Wall a max contract? According to several persons with knowledge of the situation who talked with CSN Washington, all the signals point to the answer being yes. "If they believe I'm their franchise guy, that I'm the max player that I feel that I am, they'll do what's best for them," Wall told CSN. "I feel like they believe in me. My coaches and my organization believe in me. The owner (Ted Leonsis) and GM (Ernie Grunfeld) believe in me. … They like what I've been doing lately." Wall, who makes $5.9 million this season, is a restricted free agent this summer. Grunfeld can sit down with Wall's agent, Dan Fegan, to discuss terms after July 1 when the negotiation period opens. Players with one-to-six years experience are eligible for a max deal that can pay them 25% of his team's salary cap. For Wall, that would make his max salary $13.5 million this season and he would be eligible for 4.5% raises based on the first-year number each year of the deal. Wall is eligible for as much as a four-year deal, unless the Wizards make him a designated player –- per collective bargaining agreement rules, each team can have one –- which would grant him a five-year deal. Wall then went on to state his case of why he thinks he's a max contract player. "I feel like I'm a max guy, just on how I am as a person. I feel like I make my teammates better," Wall said. "I'm just a leader. I like to lead and I feel like I can change the organization. That's the way we're going with this team and how we've been playing lately." Wizards fans have nothing to fear according to Wall because he is not a follower, he is a leader. Wall stated that he does not plan on signing a one year deal then test the free agent market out the following year. Take notes LeBron. "Nah, I don't plan on it," he said of only signing a one-year deal and testing the market after next season. "I like it here. This is the city where my dad was born and raised. I want to give something back and start it here. I don't like to follow. I like to lead my own way." The post Washington Wizards ready to offer max deal to John Wall appeared first on Pass The Pill - Kings of Hoops.

* The "pantry" you encounter near the end of ''Doom II''[='=]s [=MAP27=] (Monster Condo), which is filled wall to wall with hanging and skewered corpses. The level's eerily somber music makes it that much worse.
* Despite their relative weakness compared to other monsters, the noise made by former humans as they wander around is quite disconcerting.
* The scream the BigBad of ''Doom II'' makes when you fire a rocket [[spoiler:into the hole in his head that the monsters come from]].
** And that's only the half of it: as soon as the noclip cheat reveals the [[EasterEgg True]] [[Creator/JohnRomero Big Bad]], whose head is actually residing in a small room, while its' hanging on a stick... Hey, the hint to the beast's real identity is even here, in his only spoken quote ([[SubliminalSeduction consider reversing that]]):
--->''Oremor nhoj, em llik tsum uoy, emag eht niw ot...''
* There's an example from one of the ''Final Doom'' level sets that both qualifies as Nightmare Fuel and makes the developers into {{Magnificent Bastard}}s. The level starts in a thin hallway with other, shorter ones protruding out from the sides. Walk to the end of one hallway, the wall behind you opens to reveal ''another'' hallway, this one filled with monsters. Clear them out, go down the next hallway, sequence repeats. When you go down the third hallway, you've probably caught on by now, so you go down that one backwards... and then ''the hallway extends'' and you ''still'' get ambushed from behind.
** [=MAP11=] from ''The Plutonia Experiment''. Start off with the music from the ending of the original game, see a backpack and a switch in the room ahead of you. And then you look to the left and see a ton of Archviles frozen in place behind a fence -- and when you hit the switch, they un-freeze and teleport out into the maze you're just about to enter. The level is quite fittingly named "Hunted".
* It's bad enough that the red key maze in "Halls of the Damned" ([=E2M6=]) is nearly pitch dark, but it gets worse when you realize that it's dotted with {{Monster Closet}}s, which open with no warning.
* The side maze that eventually leads to the [[spoiler:chainsaw]] in "Nuclear Plant" ([=E1M2=]) is very dark with fairly erratic lighting, along with the unsettling moaning of former humans as they search for you.
* The final level of the first episode of ''Doom'', "Phobos Anomaly", ends with your marine stepping on a teleporter that plunges him into a black abyss where you are constantly losing health either from simply touching the floor or being assaulted by a barrage of barely-visible monsters. You stay there being ravaged by these things until you run out of health, at which point the next episode begins. It truly becomes nightmare fuel if you only have the {{Shareware}} version as this is where the game would end, leaving you to wonder what exactly happened to your hero when he stepped on that teleporter.
** The level itself is very unsettling. It's dark, the music is creepy, [[NothingIsScarier there are no enemies to be found]] (at least on lower difficulties), and you start in an area filled with ammo and power-ups -- which makes it pretty obvious that a big fight is coming up. Then you take an elevator up into a big pentagram-shaped room and are greeted by a loud, scary demonic roar as two of the biggest and scariest-looking creatures you've encountered yet appear to fight you.
* ''Doom 64'' remains less well-known than ''Doom'' and ''Doom II'', but it manages to take the classic ''Doom'' gameplay and make it much scarier, with darker graphics, more muted and grim colors, and one absolutely creepy soundtrack. Gone are the heavy metal-inspired tracks, replaced by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdzgSNFlhc4 incredibly]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0wiXQMTDdE unsettling]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g07rCtrlwn4 ambient]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M30LlWFYZqo music]]
** And those aren't even the worst of it. You want the definition of unsettling ambiance? Here's the theme for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsZP80NKbBA Breakdown]]. Have fun sleeping tonight!
** The [=PlayStation=] and Saturn versions of ''Doom'' are no slouches either. Like ''Doom 64'', the rockin' music has been replaced by a dark, creepy, and unnerving soundtrack from the same composer. The [=PlayStation=] version goes the extra mile by giving these games a much darker atmosphere with its colored lighting.
* So many of the wall textures are downright creepy. There's giant stone demon faces, red-eyed horned gargoyes (which sometimes spew blood from their mouths), scrolling walls made of distorted, anguished faces, switches that look like laughing harlequins... and that's not even getting into the MeatMoss walls.
** In the Suburbs level of Doom II, there's a house where one of the gargoyle faces is behind a wall that covers the entire face except for the eyes. Just two glowing red eyes, eternally peaking into some guy's living room.
* Soul Sphere contains a haunting, silently pulsing face, implied to be an actual trapped human soul.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF2n-IoE51g Title theme]] from Doom II is a creepy, chaotic melody that sounds like something from classic slasher movies.
[[folder:Doom 3 and expansions]]
* After Hell invades, go to the bathroom in first part of the game and look in the mirror. A JumpScare follows as your face momentarily turns demonic and the camera zooms in on it.
** The Xbox version moved this one to near the end of the game, after you think the game is done pulling s*** like that. Not a pleasant surprise for people who think they've finally gotten a handle on the game.
* Cherubs: Babies with wings and lower bodies of insects, often traveling in swarms and making creepy baby sounds.
* The Trites are flesh-coloured spiders the size of sofa cushions with an upside-down human head instead of a body, with eight black eyes to make extra sure you don't get any sleep. They weren't ''too'' bad for most of the game but there was a JumpScare late in the game involving a touch-screen computer and a nice dark compartment behind it for a Trite to hide in.
* At one point in the game there was a flight of stairs with a landing covered in blood (the walls, the floor, just drenched with it completely). By this point in the game that seemed like absolutely nothing. But when you walked out onto the landing what appeared to be a face suddenly appeared on that blood covered wall.
* The introduction of the Lost Souls. Before you fight them, you hear a woman crying. When you see her, she weakly tells you to help her and she turns around. You get to see her skin greying and her skull forcibly ripped from her head along with her spine.
* The scene where bloody baby footsteps appear on the floor, and a ghostly voice implores to "follow me" and "hurry". Eventually, it says "they took my baby", and the screen turns red for a moment as creepy baby cries are heard.
* Near the start of the game there's a segment where you're crawling through an air duct, when all of the sudden a ghostly voice whispers "Help me!" and it sounds like it's right next to you. If you happened to be wearing headphones the first time you played that part you probably didn't sleep with the lights off for a while.
* Upon traveling through the first part of the Communications Facility, you come across a door drenched in blood, with dark red streaks across it. When you first open the door, a demonic face bursts through the fleshy wall behind the door and growls hideously, before receding back into the folds of the flesh, as the door closes permanently.
* What might be a huge shock to players is that using your PDA doesn't pause the game, it pauses ''you''. You could be checking your e-mails and all of the sudden you're being ambushed by monsters.
* Less so with the original ''Doom'', but the ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' custom mod is certainly scary. When you're holding a Pulse Rifle, and there's a dark corridor lit only by a sporadically blinking light, and you hear strange sounds coming from potential corridors in that darkness, willing yourself to press the "forward" key is an exercise in futility.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkMonYgb_i8 This]] is a video of a grown man screaming like a little girl while playing the ''Doom 2'' mod ''Ghoul's Forest 3''. ''Ghoul's Forest 2'' and ''3'' are quite possibly the most terrifying mods for ''Doom 2'', for that matter. The entire concept is that you're hunted through a dark forest by giant floating super-fast monstrous heads who pop up unexpectedly and kill you in seconds.
** The backstories of the ghouls are creepy: the BigBad Yurei is [[StringyHairedGhostGirl the ghost]] of a pissed-off girl who was abandoned in the Forbidden Forest. The Creeper is the spirit of a baby, the Sjas was a psychotic jester who was executed by the king for a certain joke, the Jitterskull was a [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Giant warrior]], Choke was his demented brother who killed himself. Frostbite (who only appears in the multiplayer mod ''VideoGame/GhoulsVsHumans'') died of frostbite, so now he can breathe ice and swallow people whole like the Jitterskull.
** The Yurei is an interesting villain, in that she attacks you by making [[ShockSite disturbing images]] pop up and take the entire screen, with [[HeroicBSOD predictable results for the player]]. Yes, that's right, a boss who directly assaults the ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou player]]''.
** The mod is made worse with Icy's addon, which adds a clown; a skull that makes the Jitterskull look like a joke; and a Sjas-like mist cloud that is absolutely relentless. These new ghouls use the terrifying creeper scream. There's also a chance that, instead of the Yurei, the final boss will be the entire cadre of ghouls at once.
* The Skulltag ''Armageddon 2'' multiplayer map pack is infamous for the "By Day, By Night" level. It's a map that alternates between day and night. By day? Cheerful demon massacring, upbeat music. By night? The entire map goes dark, the music turns into horrifying loomy ambient, and the monster are... ''different''. And the Eyesores appear. Eyesores are ghouls, just like the ones in ''The Ghoul's Forest''. Imagine a demented, deformed face on spidery legs which runs around like it's on crack, makes weird "kekeke" sounds and can kill you in seconds. And there's an entire crowd of them attacking you all at once.
** The final boss of the map: Clowny. An invisible face which flies around the entire (big and open) final area and pops up suddenly in front of a player for an instant-kill and a JumpScare. And sometimes it somehow ends up inside the mazelike building you've been in before, forcing the players to brave its silent corridors, expecting the bastard to jump out from behind every corner...
* The ''Happy Time Circus'' series is the very definition of horror, especially the second one. Wandering through an abandoned ghost town with lots of silence and empty moments, only to have an area completely enveloped by {{Monster Clown}}s that you may or may not be able to handle? OhCrap...
** The areas that take you through Clown Hell (which is also slowly encroaching on the town itself) are no less horrific. Bright, cheerful, flashing colors in extremely low light conditions produces a highly unsettling effect, and the heavily distorted circus music sometimes heard in these places doesn't help one little bit. And as you might have feared, [[{{It}} Pennywise Itself]] makes several appearances throughout both mods, and he's a boss-level monster in the first one.
** In the midst of all this, you'll also need to escort "Fluffy" back to Clown Hell. Fluffy is a fast-moving, unkillable severed rabbit head that can pass through walls to [[PersonalSpaceInvader chew off your face]], and you have to outrun him through a narrow passageway in a dense thicket where the tiniest misstep will allow Fluffy to gain on you. Good luck, and keep some extra underpants; you will most certainly need both.
* The ''Equinox'' mod, at first, might make you do a double-take when you realize such a well-made mod is from the same guy that made the infamous "nuts.wad". Then, about map 13 or so, you infiltrate an alien space ship. It is incredibly dark, very cramped, the music is creepy, and it is ''filled to the brim with Arch-Viles''.
* ''Unloved'' is the mod that you always wanted to play but hoped no one would ever make: it's a high-res megawad that borrows much of its atmosphere from the ''SilentHill'' series and it's exactly as terrifying as that description would suggest - while keeping the gameplay of Doom alive. If you ever wanted to prove people who insist horror games should be weaponless wrong, this .wad is it. [[note]]Use of ''Unloved'' with the source port GZDOOM only is highly recommended, as other source ports do not offer the lighting effects that set the perfect mood and can lead to severe NightmareRetardant from the hundreds of brightly-colored "!" sector flags they leave visible in the game.[[/note]]
* While the first ''The City of the Damned'' map is plenty spooky and atmospheric enough, the second installment "Apocalypse" is more horrifying in every possible direction. Imagine the game ''VideoGame/{{Blood}}'' with all elements of BlackComedy stripped out, now add in chilling {{Apocalyptic Log}}s scattered about that tell the story of what happened to the town and several frightening scripted events like the ominous sirens that sound off now and then. The creepy soundtrack to ''ResidentEvil3Nemesis'' is also put to very good use throughout the mod. Oh, and those sirens? When you hear them, stop what you were doing and get to a shelter. FAST.
* The (sadly unfinished) ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}} Doom'' GameMod for VideoGame/{{Doom}}, which recreates scenes from the movie, fulfills this trope with its first level - the haunted library. While the original film scene was quite amusing, its recreation in the mod is much [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3_oat_4plA creepier.]]
** And then three levels later, you have to investigate a haunted mansion, in the rain, with creepy music, and corpses everywhere, and the corpses start standing back up. They take way too much punishment just to shoot off one of their arms -- you have to deal just as much damage a second time to get one to stay dead.
* Eternal's Epic2 wad is a collection of egyptian themed levels, city levels and spaceship levels. One of the spaceship levels, level 13, takes place in this very eerie, dark, grey and white spaceship made of what seems to be rotting tissue. The soundtrack for this level is definitely creepy, very different from the others. The battles are exclusively with arch-viles (arguably the creepiest enemies in vanilla Doom), most of them used through teleport-traps. Health pickups? Aside from a secret soulsphere, the only health pickups are accessed through computer panels marked with a scarab, restoring 20 health each.
* ''Pirate Doom'' has mask-wearing island natives. They're very weak enemies, but because they're small, fast, numerous, and relatively quiet, you'll often turn around and have one right in your face. They're also animated to giggle before shooting at you, so you'll also turn around to see one right behind you, just standing there giggling. It's creepy.

Thinking Outside the Shortlist for Women in Comedy
Margaret here with a guessing game for you: a studio comedy is in production, and the lead is a woman. Who gets cast? If you're a Hollywood executive, the answer is Tina Fey, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig or Jennifer Aniston. Looking at today's top-grossing movies, you'd be forgiven for thinking that there are only four comic leading ladies; the studio focus on bankability keeps them sticking to a pretty rigid shortlist.
I am in no way saying that the women on the funny-lady short lists aren't funny; they absolutely are! This is just a gentle reminder that there are other bankable comediennes out there, and that creative casting pays off, (Orange is the New Black, anyone?) because it can oftentimes elevate so-so material. Casting is like dessert: no one really knows what they want until you roll the cart by and show it to them.
McLendon-Covey's suggestions include: casting that all-female Ghostbusters reboot with Carrie Brownstein, Michaela Watkins, and Regina Hall; bringing together Laurie Metcalf, Jane Lynch, and Shondrella Avery as state college professors competing for the same research grant; pairing Gabourey Sidibe and Edi Patterson as proprietors of a marijuana dispensary / cat sanctuary who are looking for love; and putting Ellie Kemper and Jane Krakowski together as process servers who go around breaking hearts.
(Personally, I would love a movie where Kate McKinnon, Danielle Brooks, Christine Baranski, and Casey Wilson all have a bottomless mimosa brunch with me. Selfish? Probably.)

Combined ratio
The combined ratio is a measure used for insurance companies that shows how well their operations are performing.
Expanded Definition
The combined ratio is calculated by adding the losses an insurer incurs with its expenses, then dividing that number by the total earned premiums. A combined ratio of less than 100% shows an insurer is making a profit on its operations and, hence, the lower the combined ratio the better.
It doesn't necessarily show the full results of an insurer because other factors like investment income aren't included.

Apple has announced that it sold 5 million iPhone 5 units over the weekend, crushing the previous record of 4 million set by the iPhone 4S in 2011. One would think Wall Street would embrace this news from the world's most valuable company, right? Think again. Investors aren't impressed by the sales figures, and Apple's shares have tumbled from their $700-plus price on Friday, bottoming out near $685 Monday. Why aren't investors sold on the well-received, record-breaking handset? Here, four theories:
1. Analysts expected much more
Forecasters predicted bigger, better things for the iPhone 5. Apple analyst Gene Munster of Piper Jeffreys went on record with an estimate between 6 to 10 million, settling on a conservative 8 million after seeing long lines of eager fans on launch day. In fact, says Jay Yarow at Business Insider, "Munster called 6 million a 'worst case scenario.' So, this is worse than a worst case scenario." Wall Street is responding accordingly.
2. The pre-orders were misleading
On Saturday, Apple announced that 2 million people had pre-ordered the iPhone 5, more than doubling pre-orders for the iPhone 4S. The encouraging early figures emboldened analysts to boost their predictions, except "obviously, the weekend sales didn't follow the same pattern as the pre-orders," says Yarow.
3. The iPhone 5 had more ground to cover
Sales of the iPhone 5 were only about one million units higher than opening weekend sales of the iPhone 4S, says Seth Flegerman at Mashable. But "when you normalize the number of countries in which the phones were available over opening weekend," says ASYMCO analyst Horace Dediu, the iPhone 5 sold at "roughly the same rate as the iPhone 4S." So even though it smashed the old record, the figures aren't nearly as impressive as they seem.
4. Apple's buggy Maps app raises bigger concerns
The release of such a "flawed product" like Apple Maps with iOS 6 would have worried former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, says Dan Radovsky at Daily Finance. Not so, it seems, his successor Tim Cook. That has investors concerned. It was a "strategic gamble on the part of Apple, to knowingly foist a poor product onto its loyal customer base" just to rid its mobile products of Google's presence. And when consumers suffer, that's bad news all around.

Click the "Burn/Transfer" tab at the top of RealPlayer. Under "Tasks" on the left, click "Burn a DVD/VCD." Click "OK" to download the Video Burning support software, if prompted.
How to Burn a DVD With Real Player
If you have a DVD or CD drive that can burn videos, you can use RealPlayer to burn disks. You can use the software to burn a copy of movies you have created yourself or videos you have downloaded from the web. However, you will also need to have a video codec installed on your computer for DVD or VCD burning to work. If your computer came with a DVD drive, you probably already have this installed. If you installed your DVD player after you purchased your computer, you may need to purchase a DVD codec that works with RealPlayer.
Select the disk type you would like to burn. The supported types are DVD, Video CD and Super Video CD.
Click the "Get RealPlayer Plus" button in the next pop-up window if you are using the free version of RealPlayer. Alternatively, you can try the SuperPass, which includes a 14-day free trial of RealPlayer Plus. Complete the signup and purchasing process before continuing. You will need your email address, your billing address and a valid credit card.
Browse "My Library" for the video clip you would like to burn to disk. Click the "Scan Disk for Media" link to find files to add to your library. Select "Browse" to manually search your hard drive for video files to burn.
Drag the files and drop them in the pane on the right to add them to your burn list. Change the order of the clips by dragging and dropping them to a different position in the list. Right-click the file and select "Rename" if you need to change the name of the file.
Close all open programs and disable your anti-virus and anti-spyware software. Insert a blank CD or DVD into your drive. Click "Burn Video to Disk." Give your disk a title. Select whether the disk should have a menu. Click "Burn." Re-enable your virus and spyware-protection software after burning is complete.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- You can pause the download of the Video Burning software if you need to disconnect from the Internet.
- To burn a VCD or SVCD, you will need a drive that can burn in VCD format.
- If you need additional assistance, check the online help files on RealPlayer's website.
- Burning CDs and DVDs is a sensitive process. Do not start any programs while video burning is taking place.

Written in the West
by Wim Wenders
In preparation for shooting the film Paris, Texas in late 1983, director Wim Wenders traveled the West equipped with a 5 x 6 medium format camera ... Show synopsis In preparation for shooting the film Paris, Texas in late 1983, director Wim Wenders traveled the West equipped with a 5 x 6 medium format camera searching out subjects and locations that would bring that desolate landscape to life. For several months he drove the empty highways of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California, transfixed by the vastness of a country saturated with light and color and energized by the American cowboy mystique. Even in the twentieth century, it was a landscape that had lost none of its evocative, mythic power. This collection of lush, colorful photographs magnificently displays what Wenders' practiced eye sought out: dramatic and visually arresting images, haunting vistas, and the poetic dilapidation of a country touched by man but ruled by nature. An enlightening interview with the photographer reveals the many ways that Wenders, a European traveling in a distinctly American landscape, was both moved by and bemused by what he considers the heartland of the American Dream. It is this sensibility, along with Wenders enormous photographic talents, that lend this collection a unique quality, and that allow us to experience the West in a whole new, brilliantly colorful light.

When prostate cancer is confined to the prostate or has only spread to nearby areas, it is called early-stage prostate cancer. It's also called localized prostate cancer. Your doctor may suggest one or more of these treatments if you have localized prostate cancer.
Watchful waiting (also known as active surveillance or expectant management). The goal of watchful waiting is to monitor or check cancer that is growing very slowly and will not likely do any harm for a long time, if ever. Sometimes the treatments for prostate cancer can cause more harm than living with the disease. This may be a strategy for you as long as the cancer seems to be: (1) localized to the prostate, (2) not bothersome, and (3) not likely to shorten your life. Other treatments, such as surgery, radiation therapy, or hormone therapy, may be considered if at some point it becomes clear that the cancer is growing or if it begins to cause symptoms.
Surgery. The main goal of surgery is to cure you of prostate cancer by removing the tumors. This requires removing your prostate and possibly the surrounding tissue and lymph nodes. This operation is known as a prostatectomy. When the cancer cannot be surgically removed, your doctor may suggest other surgical procedures, such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), to ease symptoms.
Cryotherapy. This treatment is also called cryosurgery. The goal of cryotherapy is to freeze the cancer cells before they have a chance to spread. The doctor freezes them by making a tiny incision and inserting a probe into the prostate that sends nitrogen to freeze the cancer cells. Most doctors still consider this experimental as a first treatment for prostate cancer.
Radiation therapy. There are two ways to get radiation. You may have a machine direct radiation from the outside of your body. This is called external radiation or XRT. Or you may receive it internally with the use of tiny radioactive seeds your doctor places into your prostate using thin, hollow needles. Internal radiation is also called brachytherapy. Local treatments may include XRT alone, brachytherapy alone, or the two of them together. The goal of radiation is to kill or shrink cancer cells. If the cancer has spread to areas near the prostate, you may also have hormonal therapy along with the radiation.
You should also learn all you can about your disease and treatment choices so that you can help make decisions about your care. One of the best ways to get the information you need is to ask your doctor and other health care professionals. Make sure that you ask how the treatment will change your daily life. Find out how your diet might have to change and how you will look and feel. Ask how successful the treatment usually is and find out about the risks and possible side effects.

I am not a fan of the locations most of the capture points are at.
Windmill is the only easily contestable point that can be held, out of five different points.
Spawn points lead directly into the two lower capture points.
These make holding the two lower bases easy to hold on your side, but almost impossible to hold the opposing points for a decent amount of time.
The team who holds Windmill the longest duration will most likely win making it a battle over that point, with distractions at the two lower points.
Senior Member
Call me crazy, but it may be designed like that.
If all 5 points are easy to hold shut outs become to easy, therefore the most rewarding points need to be the hardest to get.
Why are bot and mid rewarding? Because it causes tunnel visioning, and you have a wider area of control. You can know were people are going right away and respond to it quickly with those positioned at bot and mid.
