Disable alert for Juan Mata
Manchester United pulled off what could potentially be one of the biggest transfers in the club's history. Not only because Juan Mata cost a club record fee, but also because he could potentially make a massive difference in United's run-in fortunes.
The Spanish midfielder is expected to take the place of Antonio Valencia in the first team as the club play host to Cardiff City on Tuesday evening.
The Red Devils are the favorites but there have been multiple instances that have seen United left looking exposed and vulnerable in the face of what on paper would be considered "lessor" competition.
While United will be welcoming a new face in Mata, they will see an old servant return as the newest leader of their opposition.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will return to Old Trafford for the first time in years. While he is likely to get a great reception, the fans will not tolerate their home side dropping any more points to club's that they believe they should be defeating.
With a gap to close on the group ahead of them, United have their work cut out for them to get back in the hunt for the top four and getting three points from the Bluebirds is their top priority.
United XI: De Gea: Rafael, Smalling, Evans, Evra; Fletcher, Cleverly; Mata, Rooney, Januzaj; Welbeck.
Cardiff XI: Marshall; Theophile-Catherine, Caulker, Turner, McNaughton; Medel, Gunnarsson; Noone, Mutch, Whittingham; Campbell.

Don Omar likes to be called "the king," in the studio and in other (ahem) undisclosed locations. But for the purposes of this post, you can call Don Omar el rey of reggaeton quotes.
His infectious one-liners have reigned supreme since "Dile" to "Reggaeton Latino" to his monster 2011 hit, "Danza Kudoro," which broke records—on the charts and on YouTube.

FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk have finalised a deal to bring centre-back Douglas from CR Vasco da Gama on a five-year contract.
The 22-year-old has been training with the Ukrainian Premier League side for several days, playing in Tuesday's 1-0 friendly win against Hungarian opponents Videoton FC, while the formalities were ironed out.
A towering defender, he had spells at EC Juventude and América FC before really establishing himself at Vasco da Gama, winning the 2011 Copa do Brasil. With Ukraine on winter break until March, Douglas could make his debut away to FC Basel 1893 in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 on 14 February.

I am also wondering if anyone has had this issue with the 10.33 (WM8741 chip).
One thing that might help is a cheap toslink-coax converter. I run an optical through my TV to my AGD DAC and it would cut out (don't know why). I had a Monoprice converter not being used so I tried that, seems to work now without cutting out.
Also, I have discovered that not all optical cables work as well as others, some seem to hold signal better (for lack of a better term).
Email Kingwa
Would a budget preamp only unit (unbalanced with high output = 10V) be a good idea?
I have an older NFB-10 and I get sound regardless of the position of the internal jumpers (fixed or variable) - you should get the same.
If you go with variable (preamp) output the volume control of NFB-10 works and you can adjust the speakers volume at will.
If you have not opened the case how have you observed both output modes ?
If you cannot find any connection mistake, I suppose you can live with that - I always keep the jumpers to variant mode.
I suppose you have tried both rca outputs and both gain settings, as well as a 2nd pair of interconnects. If the xlr output is working on fixed mode, you could check whether the speakers require more than 2,5 V input (unlikely).
Look at some previous reviews, impressions from older models like nfb10wm, nfb2, nfb3, compass 8741 etc, and i am sure you should get plenty of impressions how 10.33 sounds.
Though some of which i list here are only dacs, this is how the sound signature of 10.33 should be like.
Comparable to the nfb28, a signature house sound with a slightly different sound flavour due to the dac used.
I own the NFB10 with the WM8741 chips I'm using the balance out the sound quality is "neutral" but with lots of detail and grat "soundstage" and depth.
When I first used the NFB10I only had single ended headphones SQ was Good however Balance headphones will reward you with best performance.
Yes, the build quality and performance is exceptional I own 4 Audio GD components and I'm very satisfied with the sound quality and performance. The only recommendation if you purchase it is break in for 200 Hours as it will reward you with superb sound.

Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a 90's network technology that transmits digital signals over the copper wire traditionally used to carry voice traffic. There are two levels of ISDN service: Basic Rate Interface (BRI) and Primary Rate Interface (PRI). A residential user who purchases an ISDN BRI from a telco gets two 64 Kbps channels that can be used for digital voice or data. In the US, a business that purchases an ISDN PRI gets 23 of those "B" channels. Each ISDN BRI or PRI also has a "D" channel for signaling between the service provider and the remote data terminal. That terminal may be an ISDN modem or router that connects a home PC or office network to the Internet. To learn more, consult this Cisco ISDN overview, or browse ISDN specifications available from the ITU.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a switching technology that transmits short 53-byte cells across a network composed of ATM edge and core switches, typically interconnected by fiber. ATM is designed to switch those cells at very high speeds over virtual connections (PVCs or SVCs) that can be provisioned or established as needed. ATM can be used to transport any type of traffic across long distances at high rates –- for example, letting a service provider transport video between cities at 155 or 622 Mbps. To learn more, consult these SearchNetworking white papers on ATM, or browse specifications posted at the ATM Forum.
Broadband ISDN (B-ISDN) is the high rate, fiber-based evolution of the older ISDN specifications. B-ISDN uses ATM and SDH (synchronous digital hierarchy) instead of copper wire to deliver integrated digital services. To learn more about the history of B-ISDN and role of ATM, visit this MFA Forum page.

By The Associated Press
JACKSON – The Mississippi Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the conviction of a Nettleton man sentenced to life without parole for a 2008 slaying in Shannon.
Justin Springer was convicted in 2011 in Lee County of capital murder in the death of 27-year-old Kamby Ivy.
Prosecutors say Ivy and his girlfriend were watching a movie at her house in Shannon when Springer and another man, wearing masks, kicked in the door and demanded money and drugs.
Prosecutors say Ivy denied having money or drugs and was shot in the chest and abdomen.
The Supreme Court denied Springer's claim prosecutors didn't prove his guilt. The court said there was testimony from multiple witnesses who supported the prosecution's version of the events on the night of the shooting.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I had taken a very long time to read the second book in the series and kind felt less enthusiastic but then I reread the book (finished last night) and started and finished this book today and I'm very please. This is the Ivy Lockwell trilogy and they really all need to be read together. Luckily all three are out now so if you want are wary of reading series before they are done - you can pick up book one secure in the knowledge that you will be able to lay your hands upon books 2 and 3 easily. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I wanted so badly to like this third book in the series, but I just couldn't.It's dull and predictable. The first book had the clever homages to Austen and Bronte, but the continued series tries too hard. I still wish I'd liked it. I received this book for free through the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program. Super! Like all the books in the series, this one start slowly and then speeds up like crazy. It got very exciting and there were quite a few revelations. Very good! This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. This was a great conclusion to this trilogy. A great blend of fantasy and victorian fiction Looking forward to more from this author Keeps you guessing who really is the bad guy and will the main character fall to evil with her powers.The Master of Heathcrest Hall is the third book in the Magicians and Mrs. Quent series following The Magicians & Mrs. Quent and The House on Durrow Street. I'll try to avoid spoilers but you've been warned. It's a series afterall. Ivy Quent is living a calm and happy life with her husband, Mr. Quent, and her sisters. Her husband's star is rising and things are going very well for them personally. Suddenly, their calm life takes a turn, and Ivy, who has been successful with the help of her husband in hiding her magical abilities, begins to find the task difficult especially when questions are being raised by prominent members of society. Things in the city begin changing fast. War is imminent, spies crawl all over the city looking for people to turn in, and soldiers begin occupying the city waiting for it to come under siege. Lord Rafferty, a close friend of Ivy's, is doing what he can behind the scenes as a member of Parliament but his efforts seem trivial compared to what he is up against. Eldyn Garritt, the illuminist, has turned spy and using his skills to help the realm. It's only when Ivy, Lord Rafferty, and Eldyn come together does the realm stand a chance. It took me a very long time to read this book. I think I may have waited too long in between book and found myself wondering about a few details here and there but it wasn't anything major. My big problem was that I felt it just took long for things to happen. Flipping between Ivy, Lord Rafferty, and Eldyn, and seeing all of their stories and what they were going through was interesting but it took a long time for the three to come together. This wasn't something specific to the third book but something with all three in the series for me. The world building is interesting though and that was the reason I continued with the series. The magical parts are solid and the way it's integrated it in the story makes it feel normal in the course of these characters' lives. They just don't discover they have these abilities all of a sudden, it grows and changes. I also enjoyed the Austen-esque feel of the series --- the etiquette, the dress, the manners. Austen feel mixed with fantasy, well, yes please. It's a yes with a but though. I'm glad I finished the series because I was interested to see where the story would go after book two, and I was satisfied with the ending. I didn't lack for answers and didn't think the story needed more. It was a story finished. And here's the but part, it was a slow read for me. I'm qualifying this but statement with a for me because that's the case. I've read reviews of this book that loved the pacing and the way the story drew out the lives of the characters. It didn't work so much for me on that end. This was an average read for me but it's an interesting world, the magic is a likable element and feels very much a part of the world and not something apart from it. The characters are likable but I wish they had more opportunity to interact. Their lives don't permit that to happen often, understandable part of the story actually but it would have been more interesting if they had. If you like fantasy with a hint of Austen-esque manners, give it a try and don't let time lapse between reads. I think these books are meant to be read successively for full affect. no reviews | add a review

FRAMINGHAM - A group of six gathered at the Framingham State University athletic fields on Saturday where they bear crawled, sprinted and mule kicked to raise money for the One Fund.
Ultimate Boot Camp held the fundraiser, and even though�fewer people than expected participated, Boot Camp instructor Nicole Ryan said they still raised about $200 for the One Fund, which benefits those affected by last year's Boston Marathon bombing.
"I'm a little bummed about this few people," Ryan said.
The participants exercised for about one-hour straight. It involved crawling on the ground, doing arm stretches, jumping through an agility ladder, push-ups, sprints, lunges and a host of other exercises.
Kelly Fitzgerald of Hopkinton said she has been doing boot camp classes for two years.
"If I'm going to keep up with him in five years, I have to do it," Fitzgerald said of her son Thomas, 6, who participated in some of the exercises.
Denise Siegal of Framingham has been doing Boot Camp for five years, usually twice a week.
"I came out today for the fundraiser," she said. "Too bad there's not more people here."

Comments about Safety Toddler Bed Rail:
Well it seems pretty useful the only issue is the product is called a toddler bed rail however on the rail it is accompanied by a warning that says it is not for use with a toddler bed only for an adult bed.. so I am pretty confused why it would be called a toddler bed rail. It should be an adult bed rail for toddlers, I guess. Anyways it would be a good product if I could make sense of it.
Best Uses
Comments about Safety Toddler Bed Rail:
I bought this side rail about six months ago. First I had it on my son's twin bed. Since the mattress is not very thick it worked really well. I recently moved it to me and my husband's queen bed since my son always winds up in our bed anyway. This bed has a thicker mattress so the railing doesn't go more than six inches above it. It still keeps him in the bed and that's what is important. I just wish it was a few inches taller. Other than that the only other downfall is on the twin bed you cannot fold the railing down because that bed it too low to the ground (the rail hits the ground). However, the folding feature works great on the queen bed.

It seems to be koyori having revenge on mana-san instead...
Anyway a tragic ending looks to be set. My guess is Matsuri kills aono to spare her the misery and later herself to make Mayuko human. Yorito disappears as well.

No reason to use spoiler text in the Ep10 discussion thread folks ;p Kinda redundant.
I would say that the primary use of the sword for Matsuri wouldn't be suicide, otherwise she could have already let Takeshi finish her off. That's not to say that after he explains how the sword works, that she wouldn't sacrifice her life to bring back Mayuko, even if she wasn't the one that turned her. I just don't see a happy ending for the main trio at this point. Aono dying means Yorito disappears. Aono becoming human also means Yorito disappears, and I don't think she could take that emotionally. It makes the most sense to make Mayuko human, because she still has the one she loves, and its only been like 15 years. And who knows, maybe there would even be magic that would make her her mental age. As for Aono: I think she realizes now that she can't control Yorito, and he's grown beyond being just a mere puppet to live alone with her happily ever after. Mana is kinda the odd one out of the entire bunch. She's only known Yorito for 3 months, yet acts like they're old childhood friends. And she goes through so much to get involved in the situation. But I suppose she's extremely nice to everyone except her own imouto ;p |

If disappear together does mean suicide...
I wonder if she is going to learn to use the sword to save Mayuko by sacrificing herself? If she wanted to suicide I guess the easiest method would be to just walk out into the sun. But then that does leave the question of how she will disappear with Yorito... Heh and I was thinking that Yorito was going to end up with a harem of never aging yakas

^ im still not convinced that matsuri's death would mean mayuko turning back into a human ~ and together with mayuko saying that its alright for her to remain a yaka (well implied) so i think learning to use the katana would be for her own use ~
yea it was...koyori went akira~sama on mana

that would be the meaning behind it but what i think is that it's not that simple...its like saying "okey when you die ill turn you into a yaka and then you can end my life to become human" (wtf hole? O.o)
i think its just matsuri that is thinking that...yorito might have been thinking that they elope to another place

Hmm,I was thinking about Matsuri and the sword and it didn't make sense.Matsuri doesn't need a sword to kill Yorito and herself.Not to mention that the way she drew and stabbed Yorito so quickly,I"m guessing she already knows how to use a sword.
But then I remebered,this is a special sword that resist a Yaka's power.So I think Matsuri wants to learn how to use the Anti-Yaka properties of the sword. Hmm,I'm not sure Aono will try to make another Yorito.It would seem sort of pointless since the 2nd copy could also fall for another girl again and etc... Also Yorito has an interesting point.Is the Aono-made Yorito similar to the original Yorito?Or does every new illusion develop a personnality of it's own? |

I'm not actually convinced that Matsuri is going to kill Aono with the sword or try to die together with Yorito. Although Matsuri have a habit of doing things as she please in what she thinks is the best for the situation, taking another's life is a serious issue and she is a pacifist. And all the while she has been blaming herself for intruding into Aono's wish to be with Yorito, I don't see her going even further to refute her imposed guilt, at least not until we are shown more of what's driving her or when we are thrown more curve balls.
Imo, whatever she is planning with that sword, I have this feeling that Matsuri will be putting herself and only herself on the receiving end of it. It just seem likely with her character to do just that. My small beef with this episode is that Yorito seems a little too calm about what he is and what he isn't... as if he has gotten used to all this supernatural stuff happening to him. He isn't going emo demanding the truth from Aono, neither does he seems to be in shock when he knows that he is not human. A mighty contrast to how he was acting when he saw himself stab Matsuri in his dreams. Btw, someone was commenting in Random Curiosity about the inconsistency that Yorito did not go flaky when Takeshi slashed him on his back with the magic repelling sword. |

Atonement (2007). 9/10 Directed by Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice, Hanna). Wow. So many moments where your feelings just well up and you can't hold it back this film is so well done. After seeing the two others from Joe Wright that I've seen, he just joined a short list of my absolutely favorite current directors. And the ending. The way you see one version and then, you are seamlessly merged back into time to show you what you thought you saw, or what Briony (Saoirse Ronan) thinks she saw. And the films narration is primarily from one character - as you find out in the end - and what an ending. Do not read the Roger Ebert review as it may contain spoilers - watch this one cold.
Primer - What Happens if it Actually Works? (2004). 8.75/10 Directed by and stars Shane Carruth (Upstream Color), his first film. I had to watch this with the subtitles on, and the pause / rewind handy, so I could keep up. Even so, I missed so much, though this takes nothing away from the genius of this very low budjet gem. Watched it again back to back with the director's commentary and he explains a lot. I will definitely watch this again - several times. Another new director who I will follow - and who made my list.

If sweating is how our bodies get rid of excess heat, can Botox / hyperhidrosis injections cause the body to overheat?
Can Botox for Hyperhidrosis Cause Overheating?
Doctor Answers 3
Great Question. Sweating (EVAPORATION) is but one way our bodies to regulate its temperature (thermoregulate) and give off heat. Heat, like gravity, goes from high to low.
1. Conduction - Transfer of heat by DIRECT CONTACT is conduction (such as holding a cold object to your forehead, or lying on a cool floor)
2. Convection - is the loss of heat by either air or water FLOWING PAST the body (such as standing in a cool breeze or swimming)
3. Vasodilatation - the increased flow of blood through skin blood vessels allows heat to be given off to cooler surroundings, much like a car radiator. This is the reason why skin blood vessels are more prominent in warmer than in colder temperatures.
4. Evaporation - By producing a thin layer of liquid which takes off heat as it evaporates the body can lose more heat. Perspiration / Sweating / Transpiration / Diaphoresis is the mechanism of sweat production regulated by the hypothalamus section of the brain. It is seen when we are either emotional (mostly in palms, soles, and the forehead) or after physical activity in a warm environment sweat gland throughout the body release fluid for evaporation-skin loss.
Because Botox does NOT get placed in ALL the sweat glands in the body you should continue to be able to sweat and give off excess heat without overheating after Botox treatment of excessive armpit (emotional) sweating.
Dr. Peter Aldea
If the sweat glands in our armpits were are ONLY mechanism for dissipating heat from our bodies, then maybe this would be an issue. But it's not, thankfully.
This would be practically impossible as you would need to inject all the sweat glands in your body. Furthermore there are other mechanisms for dissipating heat.

I loved this audiobook! I laughed out loud through the entire book. Amanda, has a down-to-earth, hilarious, witty, and sardonic perspective on life events that I find incredibly entertaining and refreshing. She embodies the light-hearted humor that I feel we should all approach life with. I also really like that the book was narrated by the author. I look forward to her future books.

notice the overwhelming support for your thread topic.
Now, if you spent more time here, and paying attention to politics in general (which by the nature of these recent posts shows that you don't), you'd see that very few share your enthusiasm. Sure, we have Obama voters, but like most, they do so reluctantly because they just dislike Romney more.
I seriously can't wait for this election to be over. The know-nothings that come out of the woodwork every 4 years are worse than the regulars and the politicians themselves.
who are one and two = Florida and which other?
And we are last in a lot of things, brains included but as a state we always vote red. We get more federal money than we pay each year also. This year my county got $500,000.00 in an earmark from republican congressman Joe Bonner for an upgrade to the courthouse security system. We had surveillance camera's but our staunchly republican sheriff and former DA decided to use that federal money to put motion activated cameras which also recorded audio in violation of federal wiretapping statutes. The FBI and the U.S. attorneys office swept it under the rug but not until our county commissioners and sheriff spent over $60,000.00 retaining attorneys on the taxpayer tab when they were never charged with a crime. This is a great place to live if you like your women a little meaty and can stand the stupidity level.

we always vote red. Not me, but my state. Get it.
It's quite clear you have an Alabama education - would it be Birmingham (HS not college)? One of the worst areas in the U.S. for crime and student failure. Certainly not U. Al or Auburn.
That aside, 47% of the people in this country DO NOT pay federal income tax. Fact. That means they are parasites on our society. Some paid once (retirees), some never paid and never will and are on intergenerational government welfare. Also Fact.
There are those who pay at a federal rate on earned income of 35%. A bit more than ZERO%. Sounds like they pay a lot.
Investment income (depending on type) is taxed at 15% max. Which also seems fair since corporate profits (from which dividends are derived) have already been taxed. Essentaiily MY invested capital is taxed TWICE. And now they want to tax it more? So civil service lazies and welfare queens can bask in the sun for doing zip?

What Is A Vaccine?
The name "vaccine" comes from the latin word vacca meaning "cow". A vaccine is a microscopic, biological crib note written on leather that includes diagrams of a disease along with suggestions for defeating it in glorious intracorpus battle. The vaccine is introduced to the body in any of a number of ways (orally, by injection, osmosis, gentle persuasion, etc.) and the body files the information on the crib note away for later use.
Are Vaccines Good?
Good is a subjective term. Vaccines help your body cheat death or crippling illnesses. If you would rather be alive than dead then you should conclude that they are good.
If you would rather that more people – possibly yourself included – spent their lives in pain, defecating themselves, drooling, and being pushed around in wheelchairs then you should conclude that they are bad. Antivaxxers think that vaccines are bad.
What Is An Antivaxxer?
There are two types of people who can properly be labelled "antivaxxers".
The first type is those who harbour a grudge against the manufacturers of a particular type of carpet cleaner, quite likely as the result of misuse and subsequent trips to hospital emergency rooms. These people, despite their fondness for air pressure-related sexual shenanigans, are at least somewhat scientifically-minded, embracing the use of technology and experimentation in order to facilitate personal pleasure.
The second type of people are not scientifically-minded. These people associate vaccinations with infant death or disability through the tried-and-tested (-and-rejected by fans of the brain) method of putting two and two together and getting three.
Do Vaccinations Cause Autism?
A vaccination caused me to take a day off school once but I can assure you after an extensive search of Wikipedia that a throbbing arm and nausea are not symptoms of autism.
Why Do Some People Associate Vaccinations With Autism?
The brain is very good at pattern-matching, predicting future events based on experience – touch fire, fire make hand go ouch, not touch fire again because fire is ouchy – and this process of observation and deduction is the cornerstone of good science. But it's not all of good science.
Good science involves repeated tests and predictions to corroborate findings or rule theories out in order that the scientific finding is not one borne of bad luck, good luck, or improper test conditions.
Antivaxxers engage in bad, amateur, scientificish science ("New Improved Sciencique™") which makes sweeping declarations of assurety based on – occasionally – one observation, but more often far fewer than that. These same people, however, are very selective in their pattern-matching; they don't – for instance – demand an end to beds when somebody dies in one in his or her sleep.
The answer, then, to the question of why do some people associate vaccinations with autism is simply that they're imbeciles.
What If We Stopped Vaccinations?
Once a certain threshold of the population are immunised against a disease it becomes difficult for that disease to spread among the individuals. Stopping vaccinations reduces that threshold and allows diseases to spread putting money in the pockets of the pharmaceutical industry. Without vaccinations we would lose our herd immunity.
What Is Herd Immunity?
There are far more cows on the planet than you realise. Killing them for their tasty meat and the leather they supply for our wonderful fashion industry has caused them to evolve a hatred of mankind. Fortunately, vaccines – which are written on microscopic leather – exude a cow-like pheromone which keeps the bovine species confused as to our evil origins. Without vaccines and the herd immunity they provide it is us who would be worn on a cow's hooves and served up in delicious McHomoburgers.

How do you prepare for something like that? haha.
Things are beginning to heat up between main-streamer Carlos and hipster Tobias! One will stand, one shall fall!
I tried something a little new with this one, normally I don't use very much shading at all in my images and only use it a small accents here and there to give a feeling of depth. I felt this drawing needed a more dramatic tension and I think the use of shadow helps it achieve it.
Now that I finally finished Mass Effect 3 I can concentrated on drawing again.

If the Sly Cooper and Infamous series have taught us anything, it's that Sucker Punch has an odd sense of humor and a penchant for the ridiculous. With Festival of Blood emerging a whole year after Rockstar's Zombie-meets-West Undead Nightmare, it's obvious that only a studio audacious enough to cel-shade raccoons and create their own superheros would dare to piggyback off Rockstar's offbeat success.
Who is this lady in red? What does she want with Cole?
The entirety of this standalone tale is framed by Zeke's attempt to secure himself a lady friend through an anecdotal account of a "Pyre Night" where the citizens of New Marais donned their bat wings, demonic masks, and partook in some heavy drinking. Our hero Cole MacGrath was lured into a crypt beneath the city to be bitten (and vampire-ified) by a vampire queen known as Bloody Mary who functions as a fine villain for the four-hour runtime. It's ridiculous to be sure but no less enjoyable for it, serving as the kind of insane fan service Infamous fans can get behind.
If you're familiar with Infamous 2, Festival of Blood's art design is definitely something worth experiencing for yourself. The city center and Ascension Parish have been layered with a great veneer of old-school horror. Occult stories, milling, drunken crowds, and a color palette recast in red and black set the demonic tone perfectly. Infamous 2's visuals still hold up as some of the best in the open-world genre, providing exceptional lighting work to match the dark and exaggerated tone of New Marais' Pyre Night.
Cole must cure his disease before dawn or remain a vampire forever.
Unfortunately, Festival of Blood's striking presentation doesn't make up for the fact that most of what made Infamous 2 enjoyable has been removed or neutered due to the enemies you'll fight; although they may come with different weapons or attack patterns, the one thing that defines almost all rival vampires is their teleport ability, which basically equates to some cheap AI design intended to stop you blasting through each fight in seconds. This makes combat an infuriating mess. You'll mostly spam your powers in every direction, hoping that one of your wayward grenades will take out the warping embodiments of tedium and confusion that are your vampiric adversaries. It's made no more pleasant by Sucker Punch removing the most enjoyable powers like the screen-filling Ionic Storm from Infamous 2.
Far more effective in combat is the stake-tipped holy cross that replaces the electrified amp from the second game, seeing as you fight most of your battles in close quarters. Sadly, this means you'll be at the mercy of Infamous 2's wildly unreliable camera that goes utterly mental during close-range confrontations, preventing Cole from tracking all his opponents. That's not to say Festival of Blood is without its good gameplay moments, but most of them involve set piece chase sequences. Festival of Blood just isn't as fun to play as Infamous 2 or its predecessor.
Bat-men wielding glaives is certainly an original twist.
At least Festival of Blood gives you a few enjoyable abilities and activities that manage to present some form of recompense for the myriad battle frustrations. Almost immediately you acquire the ability to transform into a swarm of bats powered by your vampire feasts (pressing R1 to bite) and fly around the city getting the jump on enemies or avoiding using series' staple (and comparatively sluggish) grind cables.
Even though you're limited to the first couple of areas seen in Infamous 2, you can choose to ignore the story and go about your business brutally staking vampires in human disguise, collecting canopic jars to boost your blood capacity, and finding hidden glyphs left by Bloody Mary that replace the dead drops from previous games. As with everything in Festival of Blood, the periphery is where the best content lies – ironic considering the inverse was true of Infamous 2.
New Marais' populace ignores Cole's pale condition. After all, everyone else is dressed in Halloween-like attire.
Like the last game, Festival of Blood offers user-generated content, your experience of which will hinge solely on the efforts of other people's attempts to make working missions. If you're one for PS3 trophies, you must play at least 25 UGC missions to get that notification, and as you'll have to contend with many a lackluster combat sequence for most of them, you'd be better off leaving the green mission icons alone. If you like creating user content, on the other hand, then Festival of Blood does offer some interesting new additions, including the ability to craft your own graphic panels from in-game screens to fashion some sort of story.
If you loved Infamous 2's setting, it's very entertaining to step into its occult alter ego. The hokey story has some great moments throughout the four hours, and at $10, you're not losing much by delving into New Marais again for a bit of fan service. However, Festival of Blood reminds you of flaws that frustrated you in Infamous 2 rather than the elements that made Cole's return enjoyable.

Very informative and well-written. Perhaps the biggest draw to this DLC is the standalone aspect as I never purchased inFamous 2, although I enjoyed my several week rental period leveling block after city block. And yet the big stickler to me is the ten dollar price point. I expect substantial content when buying DLC as I tend to very stingy, but I wouldn't hesitate to snatch this up during a PSN sale.
Anyways, I hope to read more reviews from you soon.
I picked it up cheap during the holiday sale, the game never felt short per se and I would say that any more content may have soured me towards the game's poor design choices further. inFamous 2 is by far the superior game even though it shares the same camera problems and some of the cheap AI design with Festival of Blood.
Very good review, I skipped Infamous 2 after playing the demo, it just didn't seem as good as the prequel, if a re-release with this add-on comes out this year I'll pick it up. Do you think Infamous 3 will be developed? (please no spoilers)
inFamous 2 has an ending that leaves it open for a sequel, but I think Sucker Punch is moving on now they've been bought outright by Sony

There's a fair number of people out there who think that the bicycle industry is stagnant. That there is no engineering, no new ideas and not enough, you know that certain something compared to other industries which I don't know how to define. I have come up with some of my own ideas for possible new cycling products/ideas. Some of this may be practical, some over the edge and wacky and some swims in the realm of science fiction (hey, but look what Arthur C. Clarke did for space exploration!!)
I haven't gone too much into the technicalities of any because that will defeat the purpose of me writing this. They are simply ideas and I hope they will influence, stimulate or even inspire your own thinking. If you're willing to contribute more, do drop in comments. If you have a winning idea, keep it for the patent office.
1. On the go tire inflation/deflation system - A monitoring system mounted on the handlebars detects tire pressure while riding. If pressures are too low and in order to avoid a pinch flat, pressure is boosted by a certain 'mechanism'. If pressures are too high, the system releases a quantity of air for more 'comfort'.
Now the idea is not strictly 'new. There's a bunch of patents out there and in the recent past, I have seen two Youtube projects that approach my thinking. Both were from the 'Innovate or die' contest sponsored by Google and Specialized.

A Semi-automatic Tire Pump
I say keep the developments going!
2. Acceleration and lean angle monitoring - Former can be accelerometer based and the latter could employ gyroscopes. Knowing both these variables may perhaps aid in training like the power meter does. An objective number to test the power of a 'jump' on the bike for criteriums and sprinting and something else to perfect cornering technique. For how accelerometers work, click here.
3. Individual Leg Input Measurement - Knowing the force, power or perhaps even torque applied by each individual leg on the pedals can help balance the input from both legs. This may eliminate the input "bias" that we all grow with. Some are more right prone, some left. Balancing things out may help distribute the forces evenly preventing fatiguing or cramping on one side. Research is being done in this area. Recently I wrote a post on "Intelligent" cycling components that have sensors embedded into them in the manufacturing process.
4. Horizontal Fork Dropouts - I have discussed a safety scenario in an earlier post where sharp, pointy fork ends may slip from someone's grip and fall on an exposed feet leading to possible injury. This may even prevent instances of painting chipping or dropout damage. Some others have commented for the need for 'common sense' on part of bicycle users. I like both sides of the discussion. Giggle..
5. Self Healing Paint and Rubber (for tires and tubes) - It will be a dream to make a paint job on a bike last a lifetime. How about a paintjob from heaven that can heal itself from damage? And how about your inner tube or tire retaining its original form even after a puncture tear. This avoids the need for buying replacements or even dealing with rudimentary patch kits. It is my belief that tires are too expensive these days, pinched tubes are thrown into the basement or even the trashed and not many bother to recycle these items. These steps may conserve earth's natural resources like rubber. Hopefully nanoparticles can find itself into the bike industry in these two areas. Look here for an article on self healing rubber. Automotive companies are stepping up the game in these two areas. For self healing paint, I have scanned some literature from my personal collection for you to read :
6. Magnetic Braking - Disc brakes are fine but how about taking it a step further? Amusement park rides employ magnetic brakes to get equipment and payload to a complete halt. Long descents on bicycles can easily reach 60+ mph for those intent on speed. Perhaps braking could be more efficient, eliminate brake pads and could perhaps be built in a way as to take measured inputs for desired braking output. Vehicles employ magnetic brakes comprising an eddy current brake with a stator and rotor. According to this patent, eddy current brakes can also be used in bicycle ergometers. Click here to learn about how eddy currents work.
