Holiday Village Majorca
With 6 pools, plus more restaurants and bars than you can count on one hand, the Holiday Village Majorca is a big-hitter. And it does it in style – luxury swim-up rooms are thrown in, too.
The Holiday Village Majorca burst onto the scene in 2013. A horde of pools steals the show, plus there's a free shuttle bus that gets you to Cala Millor beach in 10 minutes.
One-of-a-kind activities stock the Holiday Village Majorca, including a Balanceability course that teaches young kids to cycle and a first-rate spa that's just for adults.

Great Package & Looked After
Had a great holiday. The app and the comms beforehand were great. The flight and transfer were organised so no worries or concerns on where we were supposed to be as there were plenty of staff to ask and all were forthcoming with the answers. All the staff were friendly and helpful, be it the entertainment team, front of house or the restaurant staff. There is plenty to do for any age throughout the day and there is a wet plan should the rainclouds join the day. The lay out is well considered and the timetables, signs and maps are good. We only needed to complain about a broken cup but this was dealt with very quickly and courteously. My other niggle was the shower design, there was no way to prevent water going on to the floor, a minor thing but worth pointing out. The apartment was great with a TV in bedroom and lounge and having wifi was fantastic to keep the little one (and the adults) entertained or to research anything locally. I hope the entertainment team are rewarded as they are on the go all day and even when they're finished on stage, they take the time to mingle with the guests and chat. If 6 pools weren't enough, the beach is only 10mins walk away and if you don't want to walk, there is a minibus every 25mins or so with friendly drivers. We've recommended it to friends and family and would go again, be it this HV or another.More
A fantastic holiday
We went here as a last minute family holiday and loved it. From the moment we arrived at the hotel the staff couldn't do enough for us. They were ALL fantastic. Dan on reception has a great sense of humour and Demi was brilliant too. The family room we had for three of us (2101) was huge and perfect. The maids kept it spotless throughout the week. Although we were next to the pool and the entrance to the room block we found it surprisingly quiet but this was possible due to going out of season. Our 11 year old daughter really loved the high ropes which she did on three occassions. There was no time limit for her so she went round several times until tired.The food quality and choice was amazing and there is no way you couldn't fail to be impressed. The free bus to the beach was a brillant added bonus but it is not too far to walk if you missed it 25 mins down a slight hill. Cala Millor is worth a visit and we daily went to the Cafe de Sol on the sea front to have a relaxed coffee over lokking the beutiful beach area.Our only suggestion to improve the facilities would be to heat the pools at this time of year because they were freezing.Thank you a graet first experience of all inclusive.More
Carolyn S,
PERFECT for kids
There's constantly something to keep kids (of most ages) active, we'll definitely be visiting again! The evening entertainment is more for younger children, but VERY active and really tires them out!!More

Another all-inclusive hit
This was our 2nd all-in holiday, but 1st time to Mallorca and we were not disappointed. Hospitality and engagement of the 1st Choice reps and the hotel staff was excellent, The food was of good quality and plenty of it. The hygiene provisions as you entered restaurants were effective and sent a strong message that they took food hygiene seriously - and we didn't have a hint of an upset stomach all week. The accommodation was 1st rate - clean, in good condition and everything 'worked'. Unlimited hot water from a shower head that was not blocked with scale meant we wanted to stay under the shower rather than get out as soon as you could, as is often the case. Air conditioning in the room was quiet. We thought a lot of effort was put in by the staff to keep people happy and we were impressed with the efforts made for the Halloween meal on 31st October. Only suggestion for improvement would be to slightly heat the outdoor pools at that time of the year 'cos the water was freezing. Great holiday. Thanks 1st Choice & Protur Monte Safari.More

All inclusive Heaven!
We went for October half term with our kids and really enjoyed ourselves on this our first time all inclusive with First Choice. Plenty for the kids to do and the kids entertainers were brilliant, Rich, Georgie, Claire and Lisa in particular they couldn't be nicer to us and the kids. 1 bedroom apartment surpassed my expectations and the food was lovely so much choice! One downside was the pool it was so very cold in fact the sea was warmer I wished I had packed a wet suit for my youngest as it really was take your breath away freezing!!! The evening children's entertainment was good but a bit repetitive and the evening kids club 9 - 11 pm was too late. But none of this detracted from a brilliant holiday. Demi on reception was fantastic and seemed to pop up everywhere with a friendly smile and Ivan he was really friendly on the bus, a lovely hotel with lovely staff.More

Acer tweaks tablet with MeeGo move
Acer has revealed the first product in its forthcoming M Series - a 10in tablet that runs on MeeGo, the mobile-centric version of Linux. The Iconia M500 - unveiled by Acer's Asst VP David Lee at Computex this week - is a doppleganger of Acer's android alternative, the A500, sharing similar dimensions and an identical screen …
Shallow, I know
But I think MeeGo's biggest obstacle to market penetration is its incredibly childish and ill-chosen name.
Never heard of the Wii then?
Or the Pippin?
OK, scratch that second one.
... and its general crapness
I tried it for, oooh, a day. For a mobile-oriented system, its 3G support is woeful (though at least better than non-existent in the last version). Get the APN wrong, no GUI way of fixing it - and so few tools installed that impossible to search the drive for likely config files etc. Dialog boxes still go off screen (with Alt-mouse not helping) and the whole thing is generally clunkier than an Audi's door, with incomprehensibly-volatile tabbing between apps (assuming they've not already bombed out) and other downright strange GUI decisions and inconfigurability.
Such promise, but the only "unstoppable" bit will be its consignment to history, I fear.
Ooh, ooh, ooh!
A tablet I actually come close to giving two shits about! If the interface is like the demos we saw last year/earlier this year, I'd be tempted. Lack of a physical keyboard is still a bitch, but Linux without an abstraction layer will always get my attention. Say what you like about its predecessor Maemo - and I could - it's very capable for nerdier shut-ins like me.
Nuff said...
Tablet OS comparisons from one manufacturer
Are Acer trying to provide reference hardware that runs all of the different flavours of Tablet OS so you can see which one you prefer?
Re: Tablet OS comparisons from one manufacturer
Wouldn't it be refreshing if they let you do that with all computing products? Unbundle Windows now!
@David Gosnell
You tried what, exactly? A commercially-released MeeGo device running a properly customised UI (because if so please tell me where I can buy it)? Or did you in fact come by your harsh and ill-formed opnion based on the reference UI of a pre-release version of MeeGo running on a device which has had minimal or no QA?
Thought so.

Girl Scout Cookies Veganized!
DIY-ify these childhood classics and relive your favorite Girl Scout cookies in veganized versions.
If you aren't already acquainted with the Shannons, you should be. Annie and Dan Shannon know a thing or two about veganizing—their blog, Meet the Shannons, features an ongoing Betty Crocker Project, wherein they master meat- and dairy-free versions of the quintessential cook's creations, from chicken pot pies to caramel sticky rolls. When we realized how much we wished for vegan Girl Scout cookies, we knew the Shannons would be the perfect candidates for veganizing our three all-time faves: Tagalongs (known to some as Peanut Butter Patties), Samoas (aka Caramel Delites), and of course, Thin Mints. We grant them the Veganizer Badge for their masterful takes on these classic treats.

His is doing 16 months doing half . he is in wayside for the past seven months on the 23rd its his eight month but he has a SPA and a release date for 9 / 12 / 12 which it already past . Will they still send him to prison once his time is served or will they release him from la county ?
If he is currently serving time for his prison commitment as well as his county jail commitment then he will not be brought to state prison. It is called a paper commitment. His paperwork will show that he served his 16 month commitment but he will not actually go to prison. If, however, for some reason he was not accruing credits for his prison commitment, then he will be transported to prison to serve the 16 months.
They may have to bring him to state prison to just process him in and back out again.

Most of the buzz these days surrounding the Kardashian clan usually has to do with Kris and Bruce Jenner, and both of their new relationships. However, none of us can forget how Brody Jenner dissed Kim Kardashian by not attending her wedding, or perhaps she dissed him first when she didn't invite his girlfriend? Whatever the case may be, Brody Jenner made it perfectly clear recently that he does not want to talk about his step sister as he flew off the handle at some paparazzi when asked about the Kardashian star.

Zombie related illnesses are labeled necrosis, severe (And I do mean SEVERE,) leprosy, and a mental disorder of some sort affecting a persons speech. You would have to have a whole lotta health conditions to be a zombie, but then you would also have to be dead. Radiation zombies are just people who are affected by radiation. They're not dead.

La Cabana Salvadorena
Time Out says
Posted: Wed Feb 24 2010
It's always a good sign when you walk into an unassuming hole-in-the wall and find it full of neighborhood families. Minutes after placing an order for limonada at this sliver of a restaurant in WaHI, the scent of just-squeezed citrus hits the air. A meal can be made from pillowy cheese and pork stuffed pupusas (thick corn tortillas), moist sweet-corn tamales, a heaping platter of sweet plantains—a paragon of steaming, sticky, candy-like bites, and some of the best rice and beans in the city. The only false step is the overcooked shrimp in a too-tame garlic sauce, but after a glass of sweet horchata, a mixture of herbs, cocoa, cinnamon and sesame seeds, even that can be forgiven.

The small icy worlds beyond Neptune provide insights into the early history of the Solar System. The dwarf planets have been thoroughly surveyed in the Northern Hemisphere, but no extensive search has yet been completed in the South. I am using five years of observations at Siding Spring Observatory, and the new SkyMapper survey, to look for the largest and brightest of these trans-Neptunian objects. I work with Brian Schmidt and Paul Francis at RSAA and with Mike Brown at Caltech; here Mike discusses our work.

Local effort to help understand Obamacare
On Thursday, officials from Organizing for Action joined local legislators and volunteers for a public health forum in front of the Mack's Apples farm store.
Plans are in the works to host similar events at Mack's Apples over the next several weekends, Corriveau said.

"She was very concerned she'd be paying for coverage out of pocket," Ronan recalled. "The fact that her husband is a cancer survivor and has a pre-existing condition added to her worries."
Whittemore, a Democrat, said the Affordable Care Act has already impacted her own family for the better.
"He'd wanted to wait until his Medicare coverage kicked in," Whittemore said. "But with the Affordable Health Care Act, we were able to get on insurance despite Robert's pre-existing condition. Without it, we would have been in a dire situation."
"This is not a sprint, it's a marathon," said Tammy Siekmann, a member of the Londonderry Democratic Party. "We still have plenty of time to get this done and right now, our biggest goal is to encourage younger people to get enrolled."

The Glass Hub is an educational centre based in South West England where students of all abilities can learn and develop the craft of glassmaking. At The Glass Hub we provide extensive glass-working facilities alongside the support of an excellent, highly qualified and experienced team of tutors to foster individual creative growth and expertise. We offer short courses, masterclasses, longer termly technique-focused classes, and studio/equipment hire.
I founded The Clay and Glass Studio, at Ogbourne St. George near Marlborough, Wiltshire shortly after completing the Ceramics with Glass BA Course at High Wycombe in 1998
Louis graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in Ceramics and Glass in 2011. His professional career over the last 25 years has afforded him the opportunity to work with a number of glass practitioners in the UK and abroad.
I completed a BA Degree in Design with Surface Pattern and Glass in 2000, in 2012 I completed a Masters Degree in Design, Ceramics and Glass.
I have always been surrounded by art and a love of nature, I came to glass by accident in 1998 and have explored its properties and played with it ever since. It is this science that often leads my ideas experimenting in my studio with surfaces and textures.
I first have a sculptural approach to my art with drawings and photographs and then I choose my materials, glass is selected for its transparent, translucent or opaque qualities. Colour is secondary to the desire to create a feeling of what I am describing in glass. I like to explore form and surface using a variety of other materials combined with the glass with particular attention to the shadows that form in the surrounding environment.
The techniques I adopt for my art pieces are then also transferred to a practical collection of vessels, bowls, platters and dishes.
The heart of my creative endeavours are bound in, knowledge, truth and the joy of making.
I discovered the love of glass at Hereford college of Art where I studied for a foundation degree. I followed this up with an MA at Swansea Met. I have gone on to practice from my home studio in the Brecon Beacons.
I have been engraving glass for over 20 years and it has been my main professional activity for the last 15. I was elected a Fellow of the Guild of Glass Engravers in 2000. I work both to commission and for exhibitions.
Deborah Timperley is a glass maker whose work has evolved from glass bowls and glass jewellery into pieces which explore a concept. Her current series explores a 'Dialogue at the Threshold' using black glass and 23.5ct gold. The pieces are a combination of open casting and lost wax casting.

O-o-o-o-oh-klahoma! Where the wind comes sweeping out of the mouths of the speechifying members of the quarrelsome Weston clan who have gathered to pay their last respects to one of their own—and disrespects to each other—in "August: Osage County."
Based on the darkly humorous Pulitzer and Tony-winning play by Tracy Letts (who did the adapted screenplay) and directed by John Wells ("The Company Men"), this pared-down film version mostly captures the stormy symphonic interplay of nasty recriminations, mocking taunts and hurtful revelations hurled with corrosive aplomb by a top-notch ensemble of actors.
If the boozy epic confrontations of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" or "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" are your definition of a good time, then this is the place to be. Accusations are shouted, plates are smashed, doors are slammed and casseroles abused. At the very least, you will likely hold your own family in a higher regard this holiday season.
But despite moving a portion of the action outdoors to the flat sun-parched farmland that surrounds the stuffy homestead haunted by the ghosts of grudges past, Wells doesn't completely disguise the stage roots of this cinematic incarnation. He seems too beholden to Letts' dialogue—operatically raw and blistering though it may be—to add his own imprint or allow the camera to take on more of the burden of telling the story.
What compensates for any claustrophobia is a cast that's as bedecked and bedazzled with Oscar trophies and nominations as they come. Those who are especially itching to see Meryl Streep, in her Streep-iest performance ever as spiteful matriarch Violet, go woman-o a woman-o with Julia Roberts, at her least glamorous and most affecting as resentful though reluctantly devoted eldest daughter Barbara, will not be disappointed.
The actresses have co-starred only once before, providing voices for the animated "The Ant Bully." Now, they're in "The Mama Bully." And the sparks-flying interaction between the two is truly the main event. Besides a knockdown, dragged-out dinner-table wrestling match, there's a battle royale during a harrowing catfish luncheon. "Bottom feeders, my favorite," declares Barbara in between snarling enough F-words to scorch even Samuel L. Jackson's ears.
It all begins with calm abruptness: "Life is very long," says Sam Shepard, just right as folksy poet patriarch Beverly as he quotes T.S. Eliot in the opening segment with a voice coarsened by years of alcohol abuse, dusty books and bitter disappointment. He is hiring a caretaker, a silent yet strong young Native American woman (Misty Upham of "Frozen River") name Johnna, for Violet, his ailing spouse. "I drink. And my wife takes pills," he warns. "That's the bargain we struck."
That Violet has cancer of the mouth is an apt metaphor as we soon learn as a doped-up Streep, ghostly pale with whitened chemo-damaged hair, suddenly materializes in a vapor of cigarette smoke and mutters sarcastic insults and crudely curses before promising, "I'll be sickly sweet." Fat chance.
Soon after, Bev goes missing. After his body turns up in a lake, an apparent suicide, the rest of the family descends upon the mausoleum-like homestead for his funeral. Like one of those "We Are the World" all-star charity songs, each performer is a granted a for-your-consideration moment to shine—although with varying degrees of success, especially among the men folk.
There is Violet's bountifully boisterous sister Mattie Faye (Margo Martindale, who smartly carves an earth-mother niche for herself somewhere between Streep's volcanic eruptions and Roberts' slow simmer). Husband Charlie (Chris Cooper, whose meandering attempt to say grace in Bev's stead isn't the awkward triumph it should be) is understandably cowed by the crush of volatile female energy.
One of the best scenes finds Barbara letting off steam with some wine-imbibing girl chat with her siblings: Julianne Nicholson as Ivy, the dark-horse middle sister who stayed behind in Oklahoma, and Juliette Lewis as Karen, a flighty free spirit still trying to find herself as she buzzes from one beau to another. Their sibling rapport—relaxed, slightly raunchy and revitalizing—offers a brief respite between spats.
Faring less well are Ewan McGregor as Barbara's unfaithful husband, Bill, a pretentious college prof who can't help but be dull in this company; Dermot Mulronery playing almost too close to type as Karen's sleaze of a squeeze; and Benedict Cumberbatch, whose semi-shaky take on cousin Little Charlie proves he is better suited to smug know-it-alls than he is at insecure sadsacks.
As the horrifying revelations pile up—including incest, child molestation and mistaken paternity—and the battered participants slink off in despair one by one, "August: Osage County" rightfully boils down to the fates of Violet and Barbara, both left husbandless and damaged by the events. One will be set free by their encounter, the other doomed to repeat the past. Streep might have less to lose and more to gain by going over the top. But it is Roberts, humbly stripped of all movie-star artifice, who comes away the clear winner.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab
By KBB.com Editors
The days of the compact pickup are fast closing. Witness the 2010 Nissan Frontier, a once-compact contender that has grown in size, power and weight. Along the way, it has also grown in capability and passenger comfort, placing it in the same general category as the mid-size Dodge Dakota and Toyota Tacoma. The Frontier has much in common with its larger sibling, the Titan, offering a fully-boxed frame, Nissan's adjustable Utili-track Bed Channel System and a spray-in bed liner. With one of the most powerful V6 engines in its class, the Frontier offers superior towing with almost sports car-like acceleration. Although bargain shoppers may lament the absence of a standard-cab model, the four-cylinder King Cab is still an affordable truck, priced under $20,000.
If you need a truck that hauls, tows and loves to get dirty, but don't want to deal with the mass of a full-size pickup, the 2010 Nissan Frontier will impress you with its capability, utility and refined ride.
Even though the Frontier's V6 is impressively smooth and powerful, if your workload – or playload – absolutely demands a big V8, then you'll have to look elsewhere. Also, the Frontier does not offer a standard-cab model.
All 2010 Nissan Frontier models now feature front side-impact and full-length side-curtain airbags, while V6 models pick up VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) stability control as part of their standard equipment roster. In addition, SE and LE 4WD models are outfitted with standard Hill Decent Control and Hill Start Assist.
Driving Impressions That we expected more acceleration from the Frontier's V6 says more about our imprudent expectations than it does about the engine. With 261 horsepower and 281 pound-feet of torque, this...4.0-liter variant of the acclaimed engine found in the company's 370Z, Maxima and Infiniti G37 might be the smoothest, strongest V6 engine ever put in a pickup. In addition, the 2010 Nissan Frontier handles and rides better than some sedans. Big mirrors contribute to a fair amount of wind noise, but overall the cabin is quiet and comfortable, especially for a pickup with such noteworthy capabilities. Our long test drive concluded with some serious rock-crawling on a Texas ranch, which, thanks in large part to its stiff frame and powerful engine, the Frontier negotiated effortlessly.
Utili-track Bed Channel System
Movable and removable cleats make it easy to transport even cumbersome cargo loads safely.
Garmin Navigation
Fitted atop the dash in its own protective pop-up enclosure, the Garmin Nuvi 750 navigation system cost less than $300 and is completely updatable via the Internet. Compared with much pricier built-in DVD-based systems, the Garmin option is clearly the winning choice.
The Frontier's purposeful interior is defined by its flexibility. King Cab models feature smaller rear-hinged rear doors that provide access to flip-up rear seats, while Crew Cab models feature traditional rear doors and a more conventional back seat. Both models offer removable storage boxes beneath the rear seats, plus an available fold-flat front passenger seat for increased interior cargo flexibility. The Frontier's cabin features dual stacked glove boxes, multiple 12-volt power points and one-liter cup holders integrated into the front doors. Leather seating is among the Frontier's more indulgent options.Exterior
With its "angled strut" grille and sharp, pronounced fender flares, the 2010 Nissan Frontier is unmistakable as a direct descendent of the company's daunting full-size Titan pickup, although more athletic looking than its larger sibling. The Frontier offers a number of pickup-truck firsts, such as the Utili-track tie-down system that features moveable cargo hooks located in a five-rail in-bed system. Nissan also offers a spray-in bed liner as well as a number of off-road upgrades, skid plates and wheel options.
In base XE trim, the 2010 Nissan Frontier is equipped with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 152 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque, a five-speed manual transmission, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD), front side-impact and full-length side-curtain airbags, and 15-inch steel wheels. Five and six-foot bed lengths are available on the Crew Cab, while the King Cab offers only a six-foot bed.
Features not included at base sticker price include the 4.0-liter six-cylinder engine, five-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission, four-wheel drive, Utili-track Bed Channel System, factory-applied spray-on bedliner, single-CD sound system, six-disc in-dash sound system with MP3 playback, air conditioning, power door locks/windows/mirrors, keyless entry, Bluetooth and a dealer-installed portable pop-up Garmin navigation unit, The PRO-4X off-road model includes the Utili-track system, an on-demand electronic locking rear differential, skid plates and Bilstein performance shocks. LE trims can be outfitted with power driver's and passengers seats, leather seating surfaces and a power glass moonroof.
The economical four-cylinder engine is offered only on the two-wheel-drive XE King Cab, which might become an issue if gasoline prices start to soar again. The V6 is plenty powerful and does offer the choice between a manual and automatic transmission, but all that power and performance comes at the expense of fuel economy.

Pros: "Nice styling, good initial quality"
Cons: "Poor reliability"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 2
"I bought this vehicle used with under 25K miles and expected to have something approaching the reliability I've experienced with my Hondas. However, I had problems with numerous mechanical parts. The brakes are undersized for this vehicle, so replacing pads is a frequent maintenance issue, and I have had to replace rotors as well. The vehicle had two recalls---one for the fuel gauge sending unit, and one for the transmission and radiator. If I hadn't bought the extended warranty, that latter one would have cost me over $3,000 because I didn't notice the transmission problem until I was over 90k miles. The warranty also covered the failures of two wheel bearings, both lower control arms, the secondary timing chain, the horn switch, a tire pressure sensor (which failed again shortly afterward), and a leak in the emission control evap system."

"I've always owned full size Chevy or Dodge p/ups. Now that kids are moved on it was time to downsize. I needed to still have the pulling power to haul a trailer and car, as well as 4wd (not AWD) capabilities. Looked at the Honda (no 4wd) and Toyota (less towing, HP and MPG) and settled for the Nissan. I'm very happy with my choice. Recently towed a Boxter hour and half and couldn't have been happier. The truck towed without hesitation. The power was more than adequate and the ride was great. I hear complaints of fuel mileage but coming from a full size I'm used to it. Currently averaging 17 around town but reached 24 on my last highway trip to Charlotte. My biggest complaint is the transmission is tuned (for mpg) to shift too quickly at around 40 mph. The tranny in that speed and rpm range shifts up and down constantly. I've kind of learned how to control throttle and RPM's to limit this but can be annoying when driving over hills in that speed range. This was not a problem while towing as I locked out the overdrive. If my wife drove manual I would have opted for the 6 speed. Ride is stiff but yet compliant. 4wd works great. Very smooth in its engagement and driving feel. Overall I'm really happy with my 2014 Frontier."

"After 80k the transmission went, coolant leaks into tran fluid and kills tran on spot. Gas gauge sensor in tank went bad needs to be replaced, heaer/AC control went bad need to replace. All three of these issues Nissan is aware of and would do nothing for me. After many complaints from others they decided to extend covarage to 80k miles on issues they know happen on '"high mileage trucks" typically over 80k. So no help. This truck has been nothing but a money pit since it hit 80k miles. Google search frontier transmission problems, gas gauge and heat control. It's all there to read. I have owned other Nissan with no issues, not again. Last thing now two of the cat converters are shot and it won't pass NYState inspection so I can't register it. GOOD LUCK IF YOU BUY THIS TRUCK"

"My 2013 Nissan Frontier 4x4 was making a loud noise in the blower motor so I took it in to be checked. Apparently leaves and debris collected in the intake and was lodged in the fan motor. Was told Nissan does NOT put a cabin filter in the Frontier during build. It is a 4x4 that is meant to be taken off road, why wouldn't you build it with a cabin filter. For the price these trucks command, not good Nissan. Please fix the spongy brake problem, it is going to get someone hurt trying to stop with a load. Finally, the cubby hole in the dash under the radio is partially blocked by the shifter. Difficult to access at times."

"This has got to be the perfect truck, and although all us truck owners can gripe about fuel economy, it comes with the territory and you do not buy a truck for fuel efficiency, so that subject is irrelevant to truck buyers, yeah, really. My Frontier Crew Cab SV is mostly driven by my wife, and this is her dream car! We pull a 4,500lb boat like nothing (and could tow 2,000lbs more), and the rear seats keep the kid from complaining on many of our 1/2 day rides to camping and fishing spots. It hauls almost TON of payload in the bed, and is a very sure footed traveller on our very snowy roads. Only complaint is Nissan does not include a 3.5mm jack in this specific model, but we forgive them, because this truck is so well made. We know plenty of Frontier owners, and nobody has ever had a problem. With regular oil changes at 4,000 miles and tire rotations, we plan on owning this truck another 25 years. Our truck is Black, and looks great when it's dirty or clean. We feel very confidant driving it. Even of we found a better deal on a 1/2 ton regular pickup, we'd pass because this is the perfect sized truck, and a Nissan, built to last a lifetime."

A Stellar Romance Well, Sort Of
Week of Feb.10-16, 2013
This week we observe Valentine's Day, a time for celebrating the universal emotion of love. And nowhere is love more represented at this time of year than in the starry heavens.
Ask any stargazer about this and most will mention Venus; after all, she is named for the ancient Roman goddess of love and beauty, while the ancient Greeks knew her as Aphrodite and the Babylonians as Ishtar. But I'll bet few modern sky watchers would even think to associate romance with the burly hunter Orion, and yet he's the "star" of our story today.
Stargazers from the Earth's Northern Hemisphere can easily find the outline of his muscular body midway up in the southern sky after dark, while from south of the equator he stands prominently in the north.
Though we know of several mythological stories about Orion, one thing is consistent throughout them all: He was a real dog. No one enjoyed chasing women more than Orion, and he relentlessly pursued all the sisters of the Pleiades, as well as those of the Hyades — none of whom wanted anything to do with him.
After winning the love of the huntress Artemis (goddess of the hunt and the moon), her overly protective brother Apollo sent a scorpion to sting and kill Orion, but the plan failed. Apollo instead tricked Artemis into fatally shooting Orion with an arrow.
In honor of Orion's great hunting skills, Zeus (Jupiter, in Roman mythology) placed him in a prominent place in the heavens, along with his two hunting dogs Canis Major and Canis Minor.
This week, stargazers can find all these characters in the nighttime sky. Orion is outlined by an hourglass shape, its two northernmost stars form his shoulders while those on the southern end form his knees. In the middle appears a line of three equally bright stars forming his belt from which hangs his sword ... or so they tell us.
By following his three belt stars westward, you will soon encounter the bright star Aldebaran and the V-shaped Hyades and, eventually, the delicate shimmering Pleiades star cluster. This Valentine's Day, the light of Jupiter (Zeus in Greek mythology) shines brightly between them, as if watching and protecting them from Orion's eternal lust.
Follow Orion's belt stars in the opposite direction and you'll find Sirius, the brightest star in all the heavens and a diamond in the collar of Canis Major, Orion's great hunting dog. Canis Minor appears as a tiny star grouping to its northeast.
And the scorpion? Well, you won't find him this week; this constellation rises as Orion sets and sets as Orion rises, just as Zeus had arranged.
This week, if the sky is clear where you live, bundle up and take your sweetie out for a nice leisurely stroll among the stars ... what could possibly be more romantic!

Steadfast Bearded Deity, Guan Yu
Tell us what you think about this card
|Add your comment
By FizzCake 6 months ago ( 6.4.3 )
To expand on Nightide's comment, you guys are trying too hard to pigeonhole him into a Physical mono-Green/Chinese God team. There is actually a pretty amazing way to use GGY as a leader himself atm.
GGY himself with the sexy beard
Choice of Blue Orb Changer, maybe a Blast Aurora Dragon (Blue Ripper) or Siegfried
King Bubblie
Friend GGY or B/D Kirin
BOdin with his beautiful RCV, abundant Skill Boosts and Row Enchances, coupled with an amazing active to instantly bring you above 50% HP for Guan Yu's active as a cherry on top of the icing, is simply a godsend for this team.
Hrungnir for Orb Enchances for both Green and Blue, AND he's Physical too. Easy.
Siegfriend is an easy-to-obtain Orb Changer for Blue, but it conflicts with Guan Yu's active to get Green orbs. Another Orb Changer changing Dark or Red orbs into Blue would be preferred. Friend Blue/Dark Kirin, or a Blast Aurora Dragon would solve this problem though.

Amon could be a good addition to that line up as well when he gains the physical type from his ulti evo. Although its expensive to get his ulti, having an orb change that doesn't conflict with Guan Yu and can be skilled up as well as the really nice awakenings makes him really nice for a G/B physical team.
Was also thinking that Heracles could work with that team as well. His active counters Guan Yu's leader skill but if you were lucky enough to have say:
Guan Yu/Guan Yu/Blodin/Heracles/King Bubblie/Guan Yu
popping all of those actives on the boss would heal you for ~16k health. As long as you hit Heracles first you get a one time shot of about ~55x attack assuming all those actives brought you over 50% health. I was fortunate enough to roll 2 Guan Yu's this last godfest (although not a single Chinese Warrior God) but I don't have a Blodin. Haven't done the math yet but it might still work with the 3 Guan Yu's at 9k heal.
Btw I think you mean Karin not Kirin. Was kinda confused there for a second.
...also Guan Yu, the god whose beard isn't weird and his stache is cash.

With the new lead addition, I'm thinking a green/red physical/dragon team:
Zhang Fei
6 green rows (only 2 red), 3 cards w/ two prongs.. with melon, zhang, & drake can convert out everything but light and can alter order to make it heavy fire or grass depending on the situation.. team would work best focusing grass to make rows then fire to bring in the two prongs and yinping's board enhance. Melon is also a nice button to keep GGY's lead up
Ben in reply to BadBiscuit 6 months ago ( 6.4.3 )
No. He meant kirin.
By ♠♥Liao24♦♣ 2 months ago ( 6.5.5 )
I swear I rolled like 4 of these already... during one godfest; 3 in a row. What are the odds?? Now all 4 of them are just there staring at each other's beard. If I had one more I can make a whole team of 6 including a friend's with just copies of himself. Not to mention the 24000+ HP when maxed, 3k auto recovery, and 2 skill boost each x 6 = 12, which means he can use his skill on start. The 1337 leetness of his attack in addition to 6 row enhances. Plus he doesn't even lift (ultimate evo) YET, I don't think I can handle this. Like seriously stop appearing in my REM, I'm not worthy in the presence of your divinely majestic beard.

So with the new balancing, his LS applies to dragon type as well... but does he not become dragon type? Doesn't seem to be any noted change, but how would you use the expanded ls otherwise?
Semper 25 days ago ( 7.1.2 )
If I had to use GGY as a leader with the LS change:
Avalon Drake
5-Mechdragon Canopus
5 rows 5 skill boost 1000 auto heal 1 +Time.
2(3) orb changers.
2x nuke in Izanagi, full board change with Avalon, enhance green with canopus.
Sub in ADK or Green Ripper for versatility if needed. Plenty of possibilities.

barnard 7 months ago ( 6.4.3 )
Give it time. Lately wood has been getting pushed into Physical and attacker. In 6 months you'll probably see creatures emerge that synergize with this handsome bearded fellow.
6 months ago i rolled this fellow and looked to the stars for help. i saw your comment, believed, and beefed the guy up to max level.
i want my exp back.
KSlidz@PF 7 months ago ( 6.4.3 )
if his colors were reversed he would be perfect, I mean 1337 attack c'mon he is the internet crusader.
Yeah five months laster and still neglected. Unless they hash out monsters this month but I don't see it happening unfortunately. Almsot upsets me rolling him :(

not to mention that herakles is a new green/yellow physical monster that would complement this monster nicely

wow these chinese 2.0 gods are all great gods, they really change up the game just like the egyptian when they were introduced. A physical team with 2.25 recover and 12.25 attack is awesome!

By PLUtoo 7 months ago ( 6.4.3 )
By Wroclai 6 months ago ( 6.4.3 )
If they decide to give green / light Genbu a physical subtype I've got three that will finally have a purpose as subs.
Skyknight 6 months ago ( 6.4.4 )
Sorry, but if the last two pairs of Ssu-Ling ultimates are anything to go by, then wood/light Genbu will be sub-healer (and wood/dark Genbu will be sub-balanced or sub-dragon). And we'll probably be getting her last, no less (Suzaku is pure yang, Seiryuu is a mixture of yang and yin favoring yang. The next one on that spectrum is Byakko, a mixture favoring yin. Genbu would be last, being pure yin.).
By Hvylia 5 months ago ( 6.4.5 )
My subs for bearded guy will be apollo, hermes, blue/red siegfried, and viper orochi (since i don't have guys like bodin and neptune). King bubblie's x3 is nice for burst but his stats suck all-round. I also considered light samurai dragon, hideyoshi for better stats and minor amplification. For friend's leader i'd pick hrungnir or even kirin to abuse color matches of 17.5x It's a test build though on paper looks nice.
By Mizuumi 5 months ago ( 6.4.5 )
that is most definitely a Steadfast Beard

By Kitt 5 months ago ( 6.4.5 )
Seem to be good teammate for Sakuya's team; same type, orb conversion that helpful for activate kirin's LS, and 50% immune to bind (would be even better if 100%).
By Rockhound 5 months ago ( 6.4.5 )
I love having this monster in my party, except I have the first stage of him because of high team cost with my god monsters for now.
By Pride 4 months ago ( 6.4.5 )
I feel like with Guan Yu you need to go light heavy:
SBD, Guan Yu
Jade Oracle, Parvati
Solar God of Heaven, Apollo
Kirin of the Sacred Gleam, Sakuya
SBD, Guan Yu
the light attack bonus with Purin makes it almost 25x attack and with Parvati+ Guan Yu, and Apollo all you have left on your board are Green and Yellow orbs to burst whatever you are killing as well as a Kirin's 20% gravity I can't imagine you wouldnt be able to kill mostly everything with this team.
Let me know what you think :D

If Guan Yu is physical and green Odin is balanced, then how does green Odin have more hp than Guan Yu?

He summoned the same sorcery that gave Lu Bu more atk than Cao Cao.

Is this guy just better than Cu Chu as a sub?
Char@PF/r 2 months ago ( 7.1.1 )
Cu Chu can be skilled up and has higher RCV (and ATK in the case of W/D CuChu.), as well as a better type.

y u no as good as dark guan yu?!
By DouchHater 3 months ago ( 6.5.2 )
Alas, not a great leader. More grass physical plz. Even with 2 max skilled physical parvati's I don't use him. Good Kirin sub

If you're incredibly lucky, you could simply use 6 Guan Yu.

With his RCV boost he now takes over my Karin lead.
This is a very heavy IAP team but thankfully I just get fed physical monsters from gungho with free magic stones.
Team composition:
Guan Yu
Guan yu or Karin friend, both work.
You can use Karin to lead this team as well but with Guan Yu's active of 3k recovery and Blodins amazing recovery on damage there is now no point to lead with Karin with this team.
I did 1 pull this godfest and it was literally the best pull I could have received besides a Blonia and honestly maybe even better for the damage capability. All of these skills work together with NO OVERLAP in orb changes. 3 orb changers. 1 nuke/heal and 1 3x booster.
Now to +297 this team and beat the game.
For those thinking you need to make a mono green phys team with Guan Yu. You are SO WRONG. Because he is literally able to use anything that Karin can. Massively reduced cool down and row enhancers and just focus on the blue.
Less orb trolling. More RCV. WIN WIN.

I think Gungho decided to buff his leader skill to include dragons just so they would never have to make more green physical, and I do not mind.

Oh yea this handsome, manly man is getting a nice LS addition. Green physical is definitely taking off with two new descends. The Healer/Physical card is gonna be butter for physical or healer teams. Including dragons in his LS creates so many more options. My UVO Canopus has found another home. Super exited for the balancing changes!
By DeaThNote♪ 1 month ago ( 7.1.2 )
like... even though my box is fairly REM based.. the only green/wood physical i have are izanagi and heracles.. and their skill conflicts. kirin? not as a sub, i assume... kinda sad about my roll since i have a max skill highlander...
By Xcadrill 1 month ago ( 7.1.2 )
With the addition of Dragons to his LS, he gets a lot more subs...
All-round subs:
Green Sonia
ADK Zeal
Life Protector Seiryuu, Karin
Avalon Drake
5-Mech Canopus
Situational Subs:
Graviton Earth Dragon
All the Fafnirs
Dragon Zombie
Dino Rider
Light Dragon King Saiga
Fruit Dragons
Flower Dragons
Wind Dragon Knight
JP only:
Android 16
Various Airou de Bazzar/MH4 monsters
Let me know if I forgot anything!

Some may say he needs a shave, but I say you better shave yourself from his wrath.

My first special god! It's too bad I don't own any decent physical monsters. Or wood monsters. But after foraging through the monster book, here are some subs that are wood physicals: At least most of them are farmable.
-Zhang Fei
-Angry Birds Royal Guard Pig
-Light Parvati
-Top Droidragon

I need a couple friends with this guy please. 326,026,324
By isolated 7 months ago ( 6.4.3 )
if he were reveresed it would make it so much harder to level up
By @.@)o-(-_- 6 months ago ( 6.4.5 )
@gungho, this is such a waste of potential. Why not make him balance? Since green is mainly balance, we can do so much with this character:
late blooming dragons
Green knight
list can go on and on
Instead he gets a type that green barely has to offer. I guess it would make him op if he is a balance lead? This guy has sooo much potential, it breaks my heart to see him used as a kirin sub or leading a blue physical team. I really hope there will be green subs for him in the future like Astaroth and genbu. Even an Uvo for green guan yu to become physical/balance as god type is almost completely useless.

Welcome! If you are reading this article you are now reading it on the new and improved RIT Staff Council website; a portal full of valuable information for RIT Staff and community members.
The biggest change for this new website is the use of a new platform called Drupal. Drupal is a content management system, or a website development tool, that allows the end user or client to modify, add, or edit their website without having to know web programming. The Drupal platform was adopted by RIT in 2009.
