Ouzo's Mediterranean Bistro
What would you rather have in your face: the bellies of other drunken diners as they circle your table clumsily attempting Grecian folk dances, or a mouthful of taramasalata so silky smooth you'll think you're in heaven rather than just North Beach? If you prefer the latter, Ouzo's is the place for you. The cozily exotic restaurant has enough taverna décor and Zorba-esque music to seem suitably festive, but it also has a bargain-priced plate of stuffed grape leaves, Kalamata olives, and cheeses, plus authentic Greek dips (tarama, creamy tzatziki, hummus, and garlicky puréed eggplant melitzanosalata) that put packaged gourmet-shop stuff to shame. Other appetizers, such as a refreshingly citrus-spritzed melted cheese saganaki and great charcoal-grilled octopus, are equally impressive, as are entrées like tender souvlaki skewers and a fresh whole snapper. The corner location was known as a jinxed spot (previous Latin, Hungarian, and Mediterranean-fusion restaurants all rapidly folded), but for two years Ouzo's has been a solidly packed winner.

It was a sad day indeed when we found out yesterday that the March issue of Domino Magazine will be its last. We don't get down very often here in the Pink Palace but today we're boo hooing over the closing of this inspiring design mag. In a NY Times interview with the editor, she explained, "We tried to create a marriage between the beautiful image magazines and the useful service magazines". "Editorially, we did what we set out to do, and in this economy, sadly, that's not enough."
Sad indeed. You'll be missed.
No one could stop talking about how cute Sasha and Malia, President Obama's two daughters looked on Tuesday at the Inauguration…They also couldn't stop talking about how sad it was that you couldn't buy those jackets for your little loved ones. Well.. this morning on The Today Show they featured OUR Autumn Coat Bows paired with a satin sash so your Lilly Lover can look perfectly presidential herself!
Click here to see the clip from The Today Show!!!
This is the CUTEST car I have ever seen!! Bright color, wicker seats, and an optional fringe top…where do we sign? It was the ultimate Mediterranean beach buggy in the late 1950′s. These babies can get up to 59 mph and a whopping 52 MPG!! 32 Jolly cars were used as taxis on the island of Catalina off the coast of Southern California in the years 1958-1962. And if you needed more of a reason to hunt one down, Aristotle Onasis had one ( yes as in Jackie O's husband).
KaarsKoker = Candle Sleeve (it's Dutch). A fabulous, unique way to jazz your light fixtures, spice up your chandeliers and change the whole ambiance of a room. We LOVE these! And I know I went a little crazy with the pics but they are works of art in themselves! These things have been seen in restaurants, storefronts and even mixed in with wedding decor. Hailing from Seattle, WA and started in 2004; April Pride Allison the creator, plans to add more products to the line in the near future.

Did you know that underneath the Ferragamo flagship store in Florence there's a Ferragamo Musuem? Their current exhibition is dedicated entirely to color called.."Creativity in Color" said to celebrate his footwear as "works of art that speak through their colors and mark their true identity…" Hmmm.. speaking through color..we know some people that do that too ; )

Michael S. Smith was officially named for the interior redesign of the Obama's Whitehouse in the up-coming months. He is well known among high-profile celebs and loved for his ability to warm up a room through design. Hailing from California, he'll be using his sunny aesthetic to brighten up the Whitehouse. He's rumored to have already started shopping and in a recent statement released that he will strive to showcase some contempory American artists per the family's request. Maybe they'll be needing some framed Lilly Pulitzer original prints….?
You can head to Domino to check out some of their fav Smith rooms. We love this bathroom- a man that knows how to highlight pink peonies is fine with us!
Hi all!
Incase you didn't catch it- the Lilly Pulitzer/Mascot dog collars and leads were featured on the Martha Stewart Show on Monday Jan 12!! You can watch the clip here too! I think it's right about 6:30 min into it. Martha loved our colorful canine accessories soo much she got one in each print for her two french bulldogs. Tres chic.
Looks like its quite fashionable to turn 50 this year! Barbie joins us in our celebration of the big 5-0! Word on the street is that Mattel will be joining in on fashion week in NYC this February when life-size "Barbies" will hit the catwalk in 50 designer looks…hmmmm….
Happy New Year! Resolve to stay young this year Fill your house with playpen balls or marshmallows or something…

JS defies the odds
Filed: Monday, 22nd June 2009
By: Staff Writer
West Ham's Jonathan Spector starred as The USA beat Egpyt 3-0 to secure passage to the Confederation Cup semi-finals.
The Americans went into the final Group B game here in South Africa needing a win and a six-goal swing to see them through to the semi-finals, having lost their opening two games of the tournament. With Brazil thrashing current World champions Italy 3-0 in the group's other game, the US defied the odds to go through on goal difference thanks to their own 3-0 win over the African champions..
Spector - who was mostly ineffective againt Brazil and Italy earlier this week - had a much better game last night and provided the cross that led to the US's vital third goal, converted by Clint Dempsey with just 19 minutes of the gme to remaining. The other goals were scored by Charlie Davis (21 mins) and Michael Bradley.
The US now face European champions Spain in the semi-final of the tournament in Bloemfontein on Wednesday night. Hot favourites Brazil face hosts South Africa in the other semi-final.
The Confederations Cup?
The Confederations Cup is a competition now held every four years (two initially) for the six holders of the CAF (Africa), CONMEBOL (South Africa), UEFA (Europe), AFC (Asia), OFC (Oceania) and CONCACAF (Americas) football federation championships - plus the current World Cup holders and forthcoming World Cup final hosts.
It is held the year before the World Cup finals in the same country that will be hosting the main tournament as a 'dress rehearseal', and uses the same stadia that will be used in the finals.
The previous winners of the Confederations Cup are Brazil (1997, 2005), Mexico (1999) and France (2001, 2003).

The event was hosted by Dr. Holmes B. Springs who prepared a most excellent mullet stew for the occasion. The men enjoyed much fellowship and modest quantities of adult libations while raising some money for wetlands conservation. I doubt that they gave much consideration to the future greatness that the Chapter they created that night would reach over the coming decades.
The Grand Strand Chapter was recently recognized as the #22 Chapter (out of almost 4000 in the USA) for raising almost one hundred thousand dollars for wetlands conservation in 2007.
At the recent South Carolina State Convention in Charleston, the Chapter also won awards for the #1 Sponsor Chapter in the State, the #1 Greenwing (Youth) Chapter in the State and best large event profitability by virtue of their net to gross dollars ratio. As a result of their overall achievement and general oraganizational merit, the Chapter also received a Presidential Citation.
Back when Dr. Springs was Chapter Chairman the annual banquets were "drakes only" with the overwhelming amount of those attending being avid hunters. Not so now. "Ladies are now most welcome and a great number of our attendees don't even hunt" said new Chapter Chairman Jonathon Martin. " They just appreciate what Ducks Unlimited does with the dollars we raise – and they appreciate us throwing the area's best social event of the year."
Following are some interesting factoids about Ducks Unlimited:
> DU is continually rated in the top 1% out of over a million non profit charities in the USA.
> DU is rated the #1 conservation non profit organization in the USA.
> DU invests 87 cents out of every dollar raised directly into its mission of saving wetlands and adjacent wildlife habitat.
> DU has conserved over 12 million acres of wildlife habitat on the North American Continent.
> DU originally invested only on the Canadian breeding grounds where over 80% of the continent's migratory waterfowl are born.
In 1987 the organization began saving wetlands on the wintering grounds as well. Since that time, over 155,000 acres have been preserved in South Carolina – most of it in the coastal plain.
> Over 900 species (mostly non-game) of wildlife benefit from the sanctuary of these DU projects.
The Grand Strand Chapter has two great events planned for this fall:
Ø Greenwing Kids Day at A Dog's Way Inn in Murrells Inlet on Saturday, November 1. Details may be obtained from Harris Willard at 996-4300.
Ø Annual Fundraising Banquet at SBB 4 Corners on Friday, November 7. Details from Jonathon @ 843-458-0037 or Rick @ 843-457-8126.
MORE DETAILS WILL ALSO BE POSTED AT: grandstrandducks.org.
The Chapter has been "headquartered" in Murrells Inlet for many years now, but event attendees come from all over the Grand Strand and many outlying areas.
There are also Chapters in Hemingway, Georgetown and North Myrtle Beach who perform at a very high level. Efforts are also underway to restart a Chapter in Conway. Folks who are interested in these Chapters events should contact Doug Saunders at 803-622-3743.

Walmart Slashes Price of the iPhone 5 to $129, iPhone 4S to $39
Starting today, Walmart is aggressively slashing the price of the iPhone 5 to $129 and the iPhone 4S to just $39, reports Mashable.
The retail price of the iPhone 5 is $199 and the retail price of the iPhone 4S is $99. To get the new pricing, customers will be required to sign a new two year contract with Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint.
Notably, Walmart is saying that this is not a limited time promotion.
We asked Walmart if the new pricing is temporary and were told that no, this is in fact the permanent price of the items. The new price is only available in Walmart stores and is not available online.
Historically Apple has limited the degree to which retailers can drop prices on their products, says the report. Although small price drops around $10 have been common, cutting the price by 30% for the iPhone 5 and nearly 70% for the iPhone 4S is unprecedented.
It's thought that Apple may be allowing the lower pricing to better compete with the fresh new devices that its competitors will be selling this summer; or perhaps it's looking to clear out some iPhone 5 inventory before the iPhone 5S arrives.

An Inventory Model with Dependent Product Demands and ReturnsGudrun KiesmüllerEindhoven University of Technology (TUE) - Faculty of Technology Management E. Van der LaanErasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) - Department of Technology and Operations Management; Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM) 27 2001 3, ERIM Report Series Reference No. ERS-2001-16-LIS Abstract: In this paper an inventory model for a single reusable product is investigated,in which the random returns depend explicitly on the demand stream. Further,the model distinguishes itself from most other research in this field by consideringleadtimes and a finite planning horizon. We show that neglecting the dependencybetween demands and returns of products may lead to bad performance with respectto total average relevant costs. Additionally, our results enable us to determine theminimal recovery probability or the minimal length of the planning horizon forwhich reuse is profitable.

Look at our own division (Piller, Olson, and Naeole come to mind). McKinney is one of the smallest centers in the league (at 295 last year) and not what I would call super mobile. I could be way wrong on this but my hunch is that our line of Pitts, Brown, McKinney, Wiegert, Wade doesn't make the top quartile in the league size-wise. Add Wand to the mix and you gain a little. Maybe someone can crunch the numbers. Averaging weights across positions can be misleading. To do it right, you probably need to look at it position by position.
Huge or not, I like our line. It's like night and day from two years ago. I've never been a big McKinney fan (he's ok/average in my book) but I have really liked what I've seen from Pitts and Wiegert. Milford showed flashes last year before he went down, Washington filled in nicely for McKinney at center but he is another one who I don't consider mobile. I can't wait to see Wade and the new Wand. Weary has disappointed somewhat and I'm hoping he shows something this year, and I also hope that Milford Brown makes it back all the way from his injury. I think our right side with Wiegert, Wade and Bruener can be dominating.

Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been propogated by copy and paste. 1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly ${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well. 2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags (or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add comments from scratch. 3. Replace things that look like: prefix=%%PREFIX%% command=${prefix}/sbin/foo to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used once, and in some cases it is not used at all. 4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args 5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in /etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary). No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.
Unbreak the build with the new curl - the CURLOPT_NOBODY option really requires an argument now.
Bump the version of the curl shared library after the ftp/curl update to 7.19.2. Bump PORTREVISION, even on the ports that do not have a versioned dependency, since the binaries will most probably still stop working.
Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext. The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT in Makefile (29 of them). PR: ports/124340 Submitted by: edwin@ Approved by: portmgr (pav)

Ginchiyo Tachibana is argued to have been the tenth head of the Tachibana clan. She allegedly claimed the right of the clan after her father's demise. In various Edo period folklore, Ginchiyo is considered an obstinate woman who had the heart and will as strong as any famed warrior of the era. She is Muneshige's wife who did not bear him any children.
Her relation with Muneshige was not initially clarified in the Samurai Warriors series. The following spin-off titles mentions that they are married to one another. In Gamecity's Sengoku Musou 3: Empires character popularity poll, fans voted her to twenty-fourth place. For the Samurai Warriors 4 poll, she placed thirty-fourth.
Her Nobunaga no Yabou Souzou counterpart is also a downloadable soul in Toukiden: The Age of Demons.

"So this is the modern woman..."
- ~~Da Qiao; Warriors Orochi
Samurai WarriorsEdit
With the Shimazu conquering the majority of her family territory in Kyūshū, Ginchiyo and her clansmen struggle in several conflicts with their foes and are on the brink of annihilation. With time, Hideyoshi appears and offers aid to her cause. Hoping to avenge her losses and her father, she enters the fray. Once the island is conquered, Hideyoshi greatly praised her efforts and the Tachibana's reputation grew. Unsuccessful in obtaining her vengeance, Ginchiyo decides to follow the path she thinks is most just by fulfilling her obligations to Hideyoshi. After the eastern siege of Odawara Castle, Hideyoshi unites the land but passes away soon after. Like her hated enemy, Ginchiyo decides to stay loyal to the Toyotomi family. Though fighting for the same cause, she reminds Yoshihiro in these battles that she will never accept him as her true ally.
After the Western army wins Kusegawa, Ieyasu's army retreats and threatens Hideyori's position by marching towards Osaka Castle. Mitsunari pursues and both armies confront one another at Sekigahara. Insulted and baffled by Mitsunari's actions, many officers in the Western army are discontent by the current state of affairs. Yoshihiro is among the many who are unsatisfied with their leader and refuses to move during the conflict. Realizing that it maybe necessary to have him join the battle, Ginchiyo personally provokes him to move and they are able to turn the tides of battle. Their victory causes Ieyasu to flee for his life back to Edo. Yoshihiro, wanting to settle their grudge once and for all in an all-or-nothing gamble, joins forces with other loyal Toyotomi officers and defects. They continue to march for Hideyori, intent to crush both Mitsunari and Ieyasu at once. Wanting the chance to defeat Yoshihiro, Ginchiyo aids the pursuit at Yamazaki. Slaying her adversary with utmost respect, she swears to honor his wishes to place the Shimazu in her good care.
Her dream stage is an epilogue to the Western army's victory at Sekigahara, in which they continue to pursue Ieyasu at Edo Castle.
In Samurai Warriors 3, her story starts in a similar manner except that she now fights together with Muneshige. His biological father, Jōun Takahashi, was her father's good friend and was also killed by the Shimazu. As Jōun's death caused a noticeable collapse for their family, the two youths work together to retain what is left of their home. Able to defeat their enemy with Hideyoshi's reinforcements, they subjugate the Hōjō at Odawara Castle with fellow Toyotomi forces. Opposing Ieyasu, the Tachibana continue to serve the Toyotomi after Hideyoshi's death. As representatives of the same clan, Ginchiyo and Muneshige part ways to better assist the Western army campaigns. While saying their farewells to one another, Ginchiyo acts as though she is pleased with facing death and states that Muneshige is a thorn in her side. Muneshige calmly responds that he wants to see her live past the wars, making her visibly distraught.
She joins the siege at Fushimi Castle, intent to show her own strength for once. Although she performs well in her campaigns, it isn't until that she fights at Kusegawa that the idea of being alone makes her falter. Motochika, who sees past her tough front, gets to the point and tells her to only care about the things truly important to her. Therefore, when the Western army loses Sekigahara and they flee for their lives, he joins her in defending her family at Ishigakibaru. Desiring to protect her home, even against the impossible odds they face, she regroups with Muneshige to defeat Kanbei's army. Even after his defeat, Kanbei retorts that they have already fallen into his trap and the Eastern army continues their march inward. Surrounded, Muneshige chivalrously reaffirms his wishes for her to live and forces her to flee from horseback. Ginchiyo, who finally decides to be honest with herself, tearfully rides back to his side and admits that she can't lead the Tachibana by herself. She orders him to realize that they will fight and live together from now on.
Ginchiyo resumes her duties as a Tachibana in Samurai Warriors 4, often seen beside Muneshige in battle. They coordinate their tactics underneath their fathers, Ginchiyo especially admiring Jōun as though he were her own flesh-and-blood. She loses her composure in grief and anger when he dies against Yoshihiro's forces at Iwaya Castle in contrast to Muneshige's seemingly detached focus to duty.
To repay the Toyotomi for helping them defeat the Shimazu, Ginchiyo joins their cause at Odawara Castle and Sekigahara. She fights in the main battle and shares friendly banter with Yoshihiro the night before the first charge. Depending on the scenario selected, Ginchiyo is defeated within the Western army's second wave or fights until the main camp falls. Mitsunari's defeat in either scenario leads to her early retreat to Kyushu, reaching her home, Yanagawa, before Muneshige or Yoshihiro. They resist Ieyasu's subjugation forces together until Yanagawa's position is abolished. A flustered Ginchiyo is last seen accompanying Muneshige in his journey abroad. She dies off-screen years later. Muneshige believes her spirit would never forgive or know rest if he were to abandon the Tachibana name, fighting for her sake at Osaka Castle.
Warriors OrochiEdit
In Warriors Orochi, Ginchiyo is under attack by Cao Ren's forces and leads a lone resistance against the Orochi forces. She is saved by the fleeing Yoshihiro, Zhao Yun, and Xing Cai. Tied by honor, she agrees to help their cause.
Okuni drags her into Wu in the sequel. It is here where she follows through with her debt and helps Wu with their cause. In one of the game's dream modes, she forms an unlikely alliance with Xing Cai and Yoshimoto. With Yue Ying and Hideyoshi's help, they go to rescue Yuan Shao's struggling army at Chen Cang. Ginchiyo elaborates on Yoshimoto's history with the young maiden and they heroically encourage the isolated generals to fight -including Dong Zhuo.
During the original timeline in Warriors Orochi 3, Ginchiyo and Muneshige fought to protect Kyushu from the serpent army. When they suffered defeat, she was separated from him during their chaotic escape. Banding with Jia Xu and company to eradicate the serpent army, they mistake the defense at Dongkou as an Orochi outpost. Their misjudgment cost them and other warriors their lives as they fell to the invading serpent army. When a future Hanbei returns to revert the past, he stalls Ginchiyo and her party long enough for them to realize their error. To repay the debt, Ginchiyo joins the alliance from the future.
As a member of the coalition, she helps rescue the defenders at Odawara Castle and joins the chase for Da Ji within her distorted homeland. With Xiaoqiao's help, she eventually finds Muneshige again at Mt. Xingshi.
In the updated versions of the game, Ginchiyo joins Wang Yuanji and Kaguya during their investigation of a seemingly desolate Ueda Castle. After being attacked by mysterious beings, she recognizes their creator as Seimei Abe, an onmyouji whose history she is familiar with.
Pokémon ConquestEdit
Ginchiyo is Violight's Warlord in Pokémon Conquest. Uninterested with the thought of conquest, she instead takes pride in her clan's expertise with Electric Pokémon and fights only to protect her clan's pride. Ginchiyo genuinely accepts her defeat to the protagonist's army and willingly gives her castle away as per the condition of her loss. When Muneshige asks if her failure bothers her, she affirms that staying true to her family's creed of honor holds greater importance to her.
Her personal episode has her defend her home against the other women characters. Ginchiyo personally regards their competition for the "Queen of Ransei" to be ridiculous, yet she desires to use this opportunity to unify seven castles under her command. Since men are forbidden from entering, Muneshige gladly takes a vacation so she can participate. When the castles are unified in her family's name, Ginchiyo feels her victory is a hollow one since she still needs to conquer ten other castles. Muneshige returns from his trip to congratulate her, and his direct remark about missing her cuts through her brooding. Having overheard Ginchiyo's worries, Muneshige swears to fight to make her dream a reality.
Ginchiyo can be recruited in Kessen III if Kicho rides out in battle to meet her. She is actually a fan of Kicho and acts as a rather sweet maiden. In some ways, she mirrors her idol's abilities.
Character InformationEdit
Quite simply, Ginchiyo was created to be the first woman in the cast to wield a sword. Originally, she was going to resemble a Valkyrie with wings, but this was discarded to better fit with the setting of the Warring States. To reflect her strength and to reference her father surviving a lightning strike during a snowstorm, she was given a lightning bolt motif. They specifically cite that she carries her father's Raigiri with her weapons, a legendary sword he had used to cut down a thunder god during a violent rainstorm. The director states that the idea to include her in the game initially puzzled the development team.
The design team caved in and gave her a valkyrie design for the third title. To contrast that expectation, her fourth design was made to be like male knight. They made her cape attached to her arm so it wouldn't interfere with her sword swings. They believe she has a "strong and smart image" for this entry.
Ginchiyo is a tough and sometimes callous woman who lives with a samurai's code of honor. As Dōsetsu's daughter, she wields his sword in combat and is very proud of her father's legacy. She is so proud that she often replaces any first person pronouns for herself with "Tachibana" in Japanese. A headstrong person of action, Ginchiyo berates cowardly tactics and believes that all battles should be won with pure integrity. Her chivalry and bravery easily gains the respect of her allies, but her sharp tongue and brutally honest nature sometimes leads to minor disagreements. She has a difficult time showing her faults to others, often bashful when she displays any form of weakness or fondness for something she finds adorable (such as cats or Yoshimoto's innocuous and chubby face).
She admires Ina's earnest nature and praises the younger woman, even when they're enemies. In her second appearance, she has a strong fancy for Muneshige. While she does treasure his dreams for the family and appreciates his company, she usually can't find the right words to express herself to him due to her warrior upbringing. She usually settles for a form of formal yet commending compliment whilst in battle. Although it is clear that they love one another deeply, Ginchiyo represses declarations of love in order to sustain her tough, warrior image. In the Warriors Orochi series, she respects hardened and skilled individuals such as Xing Cai, Xiahou Yuan, Zhu Rong, Da Qiao, and Zhou Tai. Ginchiyo has friendly conversations with Xiaoqiao and Jia Xu in the newest installment.
One of her strongest motivations for entering battles in her debut is finishing the score with her hated enemies, the Shimazu. She despises Yoshihiro in particular and is disgusted by his brutish "devil" lifestyle. He is also responsible for causing the death of her father and clansmen. As she fights with him, however, she begrudgingly admits that she understands his methods and respects her adversary over time. The fourth title has her openly admire Toyohisa's headstrong nature and youthful immaturity in spite of their antagonistic ties. She enjoys observing him mature into a promising warrior, hoping to clash blades with him whenever the war permits. Once she learns of his death, Ginchiyo has nothing but respect for the lad and drops any pretenses of coldness towards the uncle while expressing her condolences. Since he resembles her father, Ginchiyo also shares a minor rivalry with Tadakatsu and wants to prove her worth to him. Both of these relationships are abated to a smaller extent in her third appearance.
Character SymbolismEdit
In the Samurai Warriors series, she's symbolized by the words "quick" (迅) and "lightning" (雷) and by scattered flower petals and leaves. Her particle effect is related to her Japanese quote for her musou attack, which is to "scatter a flower". Her second weapon is originally named "Thunder Clap", specifically used to describe a violent burst of thunder. To follow the weather naming theme, her third weapon uses characters for the idiom "quick as lightning" in Japanese. Attached with the imagery of a giant bird's claw, it implies the weapon allows her to be a master of the weather. A hawk and falcon join the third weapon's imagery in the third title, which continue the synonyms for speed.
Ginchiyo's titles in Samurai Warriors 2 are "Dosetsu's Heiress", "Brave Princess", "Southern Fury", "Queen of Valor", "Kyūshū's Finest", "Lady of Thunder", and "Lightning Queen" (in the Xtreme Legends expansion).
Her fourth weapon is named after one of Susanooh's daughters in Japanese mythology, Suseribime. She is also known as the first wife of Ōonamochi, better known as the lord of Izumo, Ōkuninushi. When she and her father fled from the eighty gods from Ashihara no Nakatsukuni, she met Ōonamochi. Falling in love with him at first sight, they eloped at once. When she returned to introduce her lover to her father, Susano ordered Ōonamochi to fall asleep in a room with a snake, hornet, and centipede to test his worth. Suseribime used her cunning to save her lover from peril in each room, giving him items or secretly intervening to disable the dangers of each room. When Ōonamochi was kidnapped during his tests by three other gods, Suseribime pursued them to rescue her lover. Thanks to her, Ōonamochi succeeded to be named his title and she became his first wife.
Iwanagahime forms the namesake for Ginchiyo's fifth and her rare weapon in the third title.
Dosetsu's "heirlooms", her personal item in Warriors Orochi, is his helmet and set of armor according to the original name. The term to include all of these articles is gunzo.

Fighting StyleEdit
Her best element is lightning which helps to increase her range, knockback and the number of hits she can produce. Since her musou is stationary it is best used within large crowds or after cornering opponents. She is relatively easy to use and master. Overall, she has the highest dexterity among female characters and one of the fastest. She has a weak defense stat and can easily be overrun by crowds if the player is not careful.

- Stage: Battle of Sekigahara (Story of Worthy Opponents)
Historical InformationEdit
Tachibana Ginchiyo was "Lightning God" Tachibana Dosetsu's daughter, a strong and respected warrior. Ginchiyo was personally named by her father with her name roughly meaning, "one who would not listen idly to others". This proved true to some extent as she grew up refusing to believe in her mother's "ladylike" teachings. She practiced many common teachings for boys and is said to have been a stern and strict figure with noteworthy communication skills.
When Dosetsu was ailing and had lost his other children to illness, he was pleased to see Ginchiyo well and healthy. Despite their suggestion to pass his leadership onto one of his distant relatives, he told his retainers to make Ginchiyo his heir following his death. He died battling the Shimazu clan at Neko'o Castle on November 2, 1585. His wishes were respected and Ginchiyo became the unconventional lord of the Tachibana clan. A woman ruling a clan during the Warring States period was rarely seen or fathomed before then. Feeling under threat of possible invaders, Ginchiyo trained her maids to wield swords at all times, which intimidated many possible suitors. Five years after her rule, she was married to Tachibana Muneshige and he continued to lead the clan. Ginchiyo passed away at the age of 34.
Three tales surround Ginchiyo's life as a samurai. One states that she summoned Toyotomi Hideyoshi to her home and scared him witless by the sight of her heavily armed maids. A second tale states that she was equipped to defend her home with her maids whilst her husband was away. The third takes place after Sekigahara and the Eastern Army reportedly began to march towards her doorstep. She faced them whilst dressed in armor and many of her enemies were said to have felt threatened by the sight. However, there is little historical evidence to validate any of these events and some historians believe that these stories are romanticized fables from the Edo period.
- The Samurai Warriors 2 Ginchiyo was briefly featured in NHK's Rekishi Hiwa Historia's "Ginchiyo and other women" themed episode. Her character voiced a new character message for viewers.

Tomorrow's Transportation Today: The Uno by Ben Gulak
It has zero emissions, a simple on off switch, one wheel (okay, two wheels but they are really close together) and killer looks. And, it was invented by an 18 year old from Ontario.
The Uno by Ben Gulak. Tomorrow's Transportation Today.
Cost to Develop: $45,000
Time: 2 years
The inspiration for the cycle came when 18 year old Ben Gulak visited China in 2006 and was amazed at the overwhelming pollution that completely blocked the view of the surrounding country as his airplane came in for landing. He realized that much of that smog was coming from the thousands of motor scooters whizzing through the streets and figured that there had to be a better way.
Above: Ben Gulak, an incoming member of the MIT Class of 2012, rides the 'Uno'--a scooter-like vehicle he invented that was named the top invention of the year by Popular Science. Photo courtesy / Glenn Roberts, Motorcycle Mojo Magazine
The design he came up with has two wheels mounted side by side, very close together, and powered by electric motors. A computerized control system keeps the vehicle balanced, in a system similar to the Segway personal transporter. But unlike that vehicle, which is ridden in a standing position and is not considered a street vehicle, Gulak's "Uno" is ridden like a motorcycle and designed for ordinary roads.
Operating the Uno is so simple that it requires no controls at all. There is only an on-off switch. Once it's on, the driver accelerates by leaning forward, stops by leaning back, and steers by leaning to the side. By sitting upright, the driver can balance in one spot.
Above: inventor Ben Gulak with his Uno.
Gulak put off college for a year (now 19, he enrolls at MIT this fall) and began building the Uno at a motorcycle shop outside Toronto. He modified the frame from a Yamaha R1, which is wider than most motorcycles, so it can house the side-by-side wheels.
Above: Ben Gulak sits on his self-balancing electric "unicycle" in its early stages outside his home near Toronto. Photo by John B. Carnett
But he quickly realized that he was out of his depth in the electronics department: He would ride the Uno for a few seconds, and the circuitry would catch fire. So he contacted Trevor Blackwell, a robotics engineer who specializes in self-balancing software. With Blackwell's help, Gulak equipped the Uno with a gyroscope and a control system that both keeps the rider balanced over the tires and manages the suspension.
The Uno's two wheelchair motors should, theoretically, give it a top speed of 40 mph, but for safety's sake, Gulak hasn't taken it above 15 mph yet. "The only way to figure out if an alteration works is to jump on and ride the thing," he says. "I'm pretty sure I chipped my kneecap in one crash."
Gulak's next task is reworking the suspension to handle more drastic leans, but he says he may need some help writing the code that keeps the Uno balanced at faster speeds. "The fundamental tech is figured out," he says. "It just needs the right people to tweak it."

Even if it is a good point it would have been far more effective if he had included a MPG version of the "Embed streaming .mov video" presented in the original article. I've spent that past hour searching for a way to do this with the MPG files I have. I'm starting to consider converting them to .mov because I've found several articles on how to stream those..... |

William Somerset Maugham (January 25, 1874 –December 16, 1965) was an English playwright, novelist and short story writer. Maugham was born at the British embassy in Paris, France and attended The King's School, Canterbury. At sixteen, Maugham refused to continue at The King's School and he traveled to Germany, where he studied literature, philosophy and German at Heidelberg University. He also wrote his first book there, a biography of opera composer Giacomo Meyerbeer.
On his return to England, Maugham studied medicine at St Thomas' Hospital in Lambeth, London. In 1897, he wrote his second book, Liza of Lambeth, a tale of working-class adultery and its consequences. Liza of Lambeth's first print run sold out in a matter of weeks. Maugham, who had qualified as a doctor, dropped medicine and embarked a writing career.
By 1914, Maugham was famous, with 10 plays produced and 10 novels published. Too old to enlist when World War I broke out; Maugham served in France as a member of the British Red Cross's so-called "Literary Ambulance Drivers." Maugham also worked for British Intelligence in mainland Europe during the war, having been recruited by John Wallinger; he was one of the network of British agents who operated in Switzerland against the Berlin Committee, notably Virendranath Chattopadhyay. Maugham was later recruited by William Wiseman to work in Russia.
In 1916, Maugham travelled to the Pacific to research his novel The Moon and Sixpence, based on the life of Paul Gauguin. This was the first of those journeys through the late-Imperial world of the 1920s and 1930s which were to establish Maugham forever in the popular imagination as the chronicler of the last days of colonialism in India, Southeast Asia, China and the Pacific, although the books on which this reputation rests represent only a fraction of his output.

"Suicide is not the answer"
That says it all. It's not a game about suicide. It's a game about shit. Not in a bad way (bad shit?).
Sometimes the people just think about the hard stuff in life and seeks any kind of solution to it, even if it's an easy one. So, what's easier to actually let go all that shit? If you're having alcohol issues, let it go. You're having a hard time with your girlfriend? Let her go. You're having too much shit in your life? Release that shit.
That's it. Suicide is not the answer to a problem. Ergo, is not the topic in this game.
Expected existentialism and pathos, got a jolly silly joke instead.
Full marks for toying with expectations. Bravo!
Sometimes struggle, desperation, longing, and pain just mean you have to take a shit.
