Unico

Unico (ユニコ Yuniko) is a manga and anime character by Osamu Tezuka. Unico is a baby unicorn with white fur, a pink mane, and little cinnamon bun-shaped ears, who was born with the very special gift of making all living creatures lighthearted and happy.

His friends in the various manga and anime incarnations of his story include Beezle, the young Devil of Solitude from Scottish Mythology (part of Celtic Mythology); Chao (or "Katy" in the English anime), a naive little kitty who longs to be a human girl, and to learn magic from a real witch; a spunky little Sphinx (in the second film), and a warm-hearted human girl named Cheri.

Back story

Unico's way of bringing happiness to others gets him into trouble with the gods, who believe that only they should have the ability to control others' emotions. The gods send the West Wind to banish Unico to the Hill of Oblivion, but the West Wind takes pity on Unico and declines to follow the gods' commands. The gods are furious when they learn of the West Wind's defiance, and send the Night Wind to capture Unico. To protect Unico from the gods and the Night Wind, the West Wind must continually transport the little unicorn from place to place. Whenever the gods discover Unico's whereabouts, the West Wind appears to spirit him away once again, often without getting to say goodbye to any of the friends he has made - and without any memory of those friends, as Unico's memory is wiped clean each time.

Vega Sicilia

Bodegas Vega Sicilia is a Spanish winery located in the Ribera del Duero Denominacion de Origen in Valladolid, Castilla y León (North of Spain). The "Vega Sicilia" wine is well known as one of the most notable Spanish wines. The winery was founded in 1864 by Don Eloy Lecanda y Chaves, who planted various grapes from the Bordeaux wine region of France, including Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which are still being used in the wines today.

Since 1982, the same year that the Ribera del Duero was granted Denominación de Origen (DO) status, the winery has been owned by the Álvarez family who are members of the Primum Familiae Vini.

In comparing the wines of Spain to the First Growth wines of Bordeaux, wine expert Hugh Johnson, after comparing Rioja producers Marqués de Riscal and Marqués de Murrieta to Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Mouton Rothschild, respectively, noted that "Vega Sicilia is the Latour; but Latour of a vintage that has raisined the grapes and fried the picking crews."—a reference to the significantly warmer climate and different growing conditions of the Ribera del Duero.

Único (album)

Único is the 13th album of music by Mexican female rock singer Alejandra Guzmán. The album's songs were influenced by British Rock; it was recorded in 2008 in several studios including Nashville and London. It was released in 2009.

    Ball and Chain

    by: Anouk

    I know the drill
    You got your ball and chain
    It holds you down, the circle round
    This story stays the same
    It won't be long
    And then your heart is frozen
    The time has come to break away
    You've got it all
    What makes you hesitate?
    Don't just wait for things
    To blow up in your pretty face
    Lift the weight
    Try not to let it slip away
    And you may find yourself again
    I feel people just don't know you like I do
    Why you're making it so hard to see
    When there's something wrong
    It goes on and on
    I know the drill
    You've got your ball and chain
    I found out the second round
    That some things never change
    Open my eyes
    And let the days come over me
    And maybe it will go away
    I feel people just don't know you like I do
    Why you're making it so hard to see
    When there's something wrong
    It goes on and on
    You'll see not everybody's here
    To break your heart
    So there is a price to pay
    To be someone you're not
    I know the drill
    You've got your ball and chain
    I found out the second round
    That some things never change
    Open my eyes
    And let the days come over me
