All eyes are on South Africa. The last time this happened, it was the 2010 World Cup. Ghana nearly made it (they lost in the quarter-finals), seeking a title not only for its country but for the continent.
This time, no one has to share the glory. There's only one crown. And only one African team can win it.
The Africa Cup of Nations commences on January 19th. For three weeks, African's national football teams will vie for the crown. Fans will put their bragging rights and team songs to best use. And the world will watch what has become known as a not-to-be-missed spectacle of sport and culture. As for us, we'll be keeping an extra close watch on the match-ups which include PUMA-sponsored teams South Africa (Group A), Ghana (Group B), and Burkina Faso (Group C), as well as Algeria, Ivory Coast, and Togo (Group D).
South Africa as host has the "home field" advantage but that doesn't mean wins will come easy. The boys of Bafana, Bafana will certainly look to the stands for extra support. We don't doubt that their fans will be painted from head to toe in yellow, green, and rainbows aplenty.
Knocked out in the final in the last AFCON, Ivory Coast is ready to strike back with standout players Yaya Touré and Emmanuel Eboué. Some call theirs an "aging" team while stalwart fans will tell you that their team is part of the "Golden Generation," with players seeking a title to round out celebrated careers. Call Les Éléphants what you want; either way it will be hard to hold them down.
Ghana has what some say Ivory Coast lacks: youth. The Black Stars enter the contest with a troupe of young players such as Asamoah Gyan. Looking to upset the masses are several underdogs of note: both Algeria and Togo are great teams but outsider's picks; and Burkina Faso – with rising star Jonathan Pitroïpa – stands an excellent shot at making it through the group stage.
If past AFCON tournaments have taught us anything it's this: expect the unexpected. If you had to choose a winner, who would it be? Unless you're too superstitious to say. In that case, we understand. We aren't saying a word. There's just too much football left to be played…

Nik Turners Space Ritual
Nik Turners Space Ritual – Ghostbox Orchestra, Hedersleben, Moontowers
One of the founding members of Hawkwind, saxophonist/flutist Nik Turner has had perhaps the most prolific and varied outside career of all its many alumni. Turner grew up in Margate, Kent, England, with future Hawkwind bandmate Robert Calvert, and came to Hawkwind's original 1969 lineup from a band called Mobile Freakout. Turner was an integral part of the band's prime period, contributing not only sax and flute work but also vocals and occasional songwriting (including the band staple "Brainstorm," which appeared on 1972′s Doremi Fasol Latido, and the classic "Silver Machine," which he co-wrote with Dave Brock). Turner's final album with Hawkwind was 1976′s Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music, after which group leader Brock fired most of his personnel (including Turner).

unzzkes - (Lairs Weber warmed up their playoff hopes in the cold surroundings of Missoula, Montana Saturday and put the icing on an already sweet season by defeating a tough Grizzly team by a narrow 7-6 margin. The powerful Weber defense held the top rated Grizzly offense to a mere pair of field goals in the hard fought victory which places the Wildcats at a 7-3 mark for the season with a 4-2 record in conference action. The only touchdown of the game proved fatal for Montana as Weber Quarterback Milt Myers connected with Steve Baggs from the Montana twenty-four yard line and Roger Ruzek drilled the extra point home. Weber will now travel to battle the Idaho State Bengals Saturday in the Mini Dome. sec story page 9... WEBER STATE 2110 OGDEN 84408 TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 17. 1981 Vol. 42 No. 17 Student crowned Miss Deaf Utah by Scott Wheeler Signpost Staff A Weber State student was crowned Miss Deaf Utah Saturday after competing against deaf women from around the state. Heidi Ercanbrack, president of the Deaf Club, was also named Miss Photogenic and Miss Congeniality. For the talent segment of the pageant Heidi performed the song "Rainbow Connection" using sign language. Heidi was skeptical about the pageant, but is now glad she attended. "I can't believe I won. I did not want to enter at first, but my deaf brother Mike convinced me to do it. I'm glad he did." While Heidi's major is undecided, she enjoys drafting and math classes. She graduated from Ben Lomond High School in 1980 and plans on attending a liberal arts college for the deaf in Washington D.C. When she is not working as a file clerk at the IRS, Heidi can be found spending her time reading romantic novels, skiing or participating in most sports. She enjoys going to movies, but only when there is a lot of action in the film. Heidi said her favorite recent movie was "Raiders of the Lost Ark." She said, "It was a good film because there was more action than words." Deafness is nothing new to Heidi's family. Her brother, sister and nephew are also deaf. But Heidi said there are some advantages to her lack of hearing. "I can sleep in and the noise outside doesn't bother me," she said. Heidi will reign as Miss Utah for two years. Her future plans include competing in the Miss Deaf America pageant in Missouri in July. She also hopes for a big family. "WSC is great for me because they provide me with interpreters and note-takers. Everyone here is just great," Heidi said. Weber violinist to perform with Utah Symphony in Youth Salute by Joan Calvert Signpost Staff Peggy Bingham, violinist and Weber State College student, will be performing with the Utah Symphony in a "Salute to Youth" concert on Nov. 24, at 8 p.m. in Symphony Hall. Peggy was one of eight performers chosen in a statewide contest to participate in this year's "Salute" program. She is a four-time Utah State Fair winner and recipient of seven consecutive superior ratings from the National Federation of Music Clubs. A 1980 graduate of Ogden High, Ms. Bingham started taking violin lessons at age 4 and is currently a student of Utah Symphony Assistant Concertmaster Norma Lee Belnap. She also performs with the Mormon Youth Symphony. This year, Ms. Bingham transferred from the University of Utah to Weber State College to be closer to home. Although she loves music, she is not majoring in music, but is taking prerequisites for the WSC nursing program. When asked why she chose a nursing major, she said "I can become a professional musician without major ing in " music, but I can help others in the nursing profession while advancing with my music." Ms. Bingham admits she has been concentrating on performing with the Utah Symphony. "It's the biggest thing that has happened in my music career, so I have to put my studies second," she said. Ms. Bingham will be the second soloist for the evening in the salute to Utah's young musicians. She will perform the first movement from Samuel Barber's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra. t: ....

|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 1981-11-17, Vol. 42, No. 17
|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

DOs & DON'Ts Book Two Release and the End of the DOs & DON'Ts
Last night we threw a party to commemorate the end of the Dos & Dont's column in VICE.
The Fat Jew and Cat Marnell wrote pithy judgemental notes on decals and attached them to our fans who were visibly shocked and astonished when guest speaker Genesis P-Orridge announced that the release of the Dos & Don'ts Book Two, out now on VICE Books was the final chapter of one of the most glorious, celebrated fashion critique columns in the history of publishing.
As Genesis broke the news, the atmosphere at the party turned from "Yeaaahhhhhhh!" to "Nooooooo!!!!"
Dos & Don'ts Book 2 editor Thomas Morton / party organizer was the man responsible for killing the column / breaking everybody's hearts. Suroosh was like: "Wait, we still run the Dos & Don'ts?"
Editor-in-Chief Rocco Castoro (right) was like: "Fucking psyched this column is gone, it's like one less email I have to worry about." Jason Mojica (middle), who's the head of going to dangerous places video content was like: "TBH I only used to look at the mag for the American Apparel ads."
Fat Jew. Has to move back to his parents house as his only source of income has been cut off.
Jonathan Toubin was like: "WTF, I came back from the dead for this shit?" Susanne likes weird, awk things so she was really happy about it all and Gazin is like the same vibe, ie goth.
This is when Genesis announced that the DDs were over and Annette was like: "Wait? What?" Then her face totally changed and she was like "WTF X a million???"
Here's Cat Marnell. Email donations to firstname.lastname@example.com
And everybody else is in the gallery above. Most of those photos were shot before the announcement was made, that's why they're still looking happy. Seriously it turned into a fucking bloodbath. Sorry everyone.

1. ELECTIONS: Voting begins TODAY Monday April 29th and ends Tuesday April 30th at 11:59pm
Greetings All!
Elections have started! Please read below for instructions on how you may vote for your favorite candidates in this election.
Candidate information can be found at www.albany.edu/gso.
To vote, log on to MyUAlbany (www.albany.edu/myualbany), click on the Campus Life tab, then choose Student Elections. If you have any technical difficulties with voting please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please note - in addition to the candidates, there are two issues up for approval by the student population this year:
The Student Activity Fee is on the ballot this year! Currently, the student activity fee covers many student expenses such as free printing in the GSO office, Grants and RGSO allocations awarded to our student groups, as well as the GSO programming that can be seen year round! Based on a vote of the student body - this fee can become optional to students, OR can remain mandatory - helping the GSO to continue providing these services to all registered graduate students who pay this fee.
This means No Mandatory Fee = No Free Printing or the potential loss of other GSO resources!!
The Referendum listed on the ballot is a series of changes to the GSO Constitution - these changes have been a product of two years of the GSO Constitutional Committee in deliberation over discrepancies in the original documents. These changes have been approved by the GSO Assembly and now require a student wide election to approve them! More information on the revised constitution and the constitutional committee can be found here.
Happy Voting!

4. The Writers Institute Presentations
Gail Collins, journalist and New York Times columnist
April 30 (Tuesday)
Reading - 8:00 p.m., Page Hall, 135 Western Avenue, Downtown Campus
One of the most recognizable names in American journalism, Gail Collins served as the first female editor of the New York Times Editorial Page (2001-2007), and has contributed an influential biweekly column to the Times Op-Ed page for most of the past decade. Her column is distinguished by its fondness for humor and storytelling, its attention to political absurdity, and its championing of women's rights. Her newest book is As Texas Goes... How the Lone Star State Hijacked the American Agenda (2012). MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said, "Gail Collins is the funniest serious political commentator in America. Reading As Texas Goes... is pure pleasure from page one." Publishers Weekly said, "Collins revels in the state's 10-gallon self-regard, Alamo-inspired cult of suicidal last stands, and eccentric right-wing pols... she slathers plenty of wry humor onto a critique that stings like a red-hot brand." Her previous books include When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present (2009), and Scorpion Tongues: Gossip, Celebrity, and American Politics (1998).
American Place Theatre performance of The Giver
May 1 (Wednesday)
Performance - 7:30 p.m.
NOTE NEW LOCATION: Due to popular demand for tickets, the production has been moved to a larger venue, the MAIN THEATER, Performing Arts Center, Uptown Campus Pre-Performance discussion at 7 p.m. $15 general public / $12 seniors & faculty-staff / $10 students Box Office: (518) 442-3997
Winner of the 1994 Newbery Medal, Lois Lowry's richly provocative novel The Giver (1993) was published nearly 20 years ago and is still widely read today. In a dystopian world of "Sameness," where all negative emotions and feelings of pain have been successfully eliminated, twelve-year-old Jonas is selected to receive the memories of humankind's experiences from the time before. Breathing life into literature, this stunning one-person stage adaptation deftly portrays the first of a quartet of books that also includes Gathering Blue (2000), Messenger (2004) and Son (2012).
Presented by the Performing Arts Center with the NYS Writes Institute. This performance is part of the New York State Presenters Network Presenter-Artsist Partnership Project with support from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency. Support also provided by the Ualbany Foundation and Holiday Inn Express.

15. Study on LGBTQ Activism Seeks Volunteers
The purpose of the study is to explore the lives of young LGBTQ activists, who are often ignored and misrepresented in the scientific literature. This research will work to fill this gap by revealing the true experiences of young LGBTQ individuals and the ways in which they define their sexual identities and engage in sexual politics. The study was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University at Albany, SUNY.
I am seeking volunteers who:
- are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, pansexual, unlabelled, queer or anything in between
- have engaged in activism around LGBTQ issues (however you define it - membership in a specific organization is not required nor is a minimum amount of activist participation) and
- are between the ages of 18- 25 years old.
Participation involves:
- completing a one-on-one interview (lasting between 1 - 2 hours, time and location to be determined by you)
Participation in the study is completely voluntary and all information provided will be kept confidential. Upon completion of the interview, volunteers will receive $15 as a thank you for your time and participation.
If you are interested, please contact me at: firstname.lastname@example.com or call me at: (518) 334-0714.
Thank you,
Megan Murphy
Department of Sociology, University at Albany
16. Volunteers Needed for Dissertation Research
Greetings All,
For those of you who do not know me, my name is Heidi Nicholls and I am a Doctoral Candidate in the Anthropology Department at the University of Albany. I am looking for your assistance in completing my dissertation research. My research is centered on touristic performances, diaspora studies, and hyphenated identities in general and the Indian Diaspora in particular. Why am I interested in this research? Ultimately, investigating the duality of identity negotiation in the diaspora in connection to festivals can shed light on the importance of an extended community to new arrivals. This investigation can further inform international study programs, diasporic community agencies, and non profits, lending a voice to the importance and social relevance of culturally situated social networks.
I am looking for individuals from India who have come to Albany to either study, work, or both to take part in this research. Participation would come in the form of being interviewed for a couple of hours. This interview would be anonymous and scheduled at your convenience.
The kinds of questions I will ask will include:
- Where did you grow up?
- Why did you choose Albany?
- What are your favorite cultural festivals? Why?
- What systems were in place for your arrival that meant the most to you? Why?
If you are interested in participating in this project, please contact me: Heidi Nicholls
Thank you so much for your time and consideration!
17. Call for Volunteers on the Student-Debt Preliminary Planning Committee
The SDPPC is calling for volunteers interested in helping their fellow students avoid and deal with debt. Many students graduate with tremendous amounts of personal debt which can significantly impact their quality of life. Part of the reason for this is students often lack good information on how to avoid debt and how to deal with debt when it occurs. This committee will develop ways to disseminate helpful information. The ideas of this committee would be brought to administrative and student-government attention for possible implementation.
Please contact Gary Roth at firstname.lastname@example.com if you wish to volunteer.

"I tell people that everybody likes good news and so if you have good performance that's wonderful," explains Mike McKitich, CIO of Petty Endowment, "but it's the people that want to talk about the bad news or where they drifted and how they came back and how they stayed to their discipline…" that he wants to hear from.

While the Chrysler 300C 's death is imminent, tuners want to give the car just one last chance. The British tuner MaxPower is offering a tuning package for the American sedan that includes exterior updates and a new exhaust system.
The exterior package includes a new front grille with five horizontal bars, a front bumper with additional air intakes and new front fenders incorporating air outlets. It will also sport new side skirts, a rear window spoiler, a discreet spoiler lip, and a sport exhaust system.
The entire package is finished by two-tone finish wheels with a black center and a aluminum polished outer wheel rim.
We wish we could say that this completely changed our minds on the vehicle, but that is simply not the case. MaxPower's attempt to jazz up the Chrysler 300C left us wishing we had caught the poetry reading down the street instead. The add-ons provided to the vehicle were just not exciting enough to marvel over. We have to say it was a meager attempt in pimping the 300. Sorry, MaxPower, we are just not impressed.

Today, learning disabilities are being diagnosed at early ages, and opportunities for training and employment for individuals with disabilities are being emphasized through legislation. It's not surprising that the number of intervention specialists (special education teachers) is expected to increase by 17 percent through 2018, faster than the average for all occupations.
Through the Department of Education at Mount Union, an NCATE accredited department, you can pursue a rewarding career as an intervention specialist (special education). With the ability to choose from two paths – early childhood intervention specialist and mild/moderate intervention specialist – you will be prepared to teach learners with special education needs.
As an early childhood intervention specialist, you will be able to teach learners ages 3 through 8 (prekindergarten through grade three) with mild/moderate/intensive education needs. Or, pursue a career as a mild/moderate intervention specialist, fulfilling the mild/moderate/intensive education needs of students ages 5 through 21 (kindergarten through grade 12).
The Department of Education is geared toward assisting candidates in obtaining a teaching appointment. A major or minor in education provides an excellent foundation for careers in a number of areas, including:
- Schools
- Child care centers
- Youth ministry
- Colleges
- Coaching
- Human services professions
- Corporate training

Germany was the world's most future-oriented country in 2012, followed by Switzerland and Japan, according to the "Future Orientation Index." Researchers found that in Germany and 10 nations last year, more people used Google to search for "2013" than for "2011."
The 11 countries represent a gain over 2011, when only seven countries had as many searches for the upcoming year as for the prior one.
According to researchers who conducted the study, "the online 'future orientation' of a country is strongly correlated with the country's per capita gross domestic product (GDP)," as they wrote in Nature's Scientific Reports last April. The scientists recently released new data for 2012.
"Our Future Orientation Index reflects international differences in attention to the future and the past," says Dr. Suzy Moat, of University College London. "A greater focus on the future when making decisions may support economic success."
In 2012, the United States leapt ahead of Saudi Arabia to take the No. 11 spot, improving on its 15th-place showing in 2011, when more American Googlers looked back than forward.
The team's members, who are based in Britain, Switzerland, and the U.S., use data from Google Trends and the CIA World Factbook to compile their results. They screen out countries that have fewer than 5 million Internet users.
The study doesn't investigate the searchers' motives, but it might show "how great a role the Internet plays in citizens' day to day decision making," Moat says. "In countries where the Internet is more integrated into day to day life, we might see people searching for more information to support their future actions."
The United Kingdom took the top spot in 2011, as the country looked forward to what Moat calls "a big year" that brought not only the Summer Olympics but also Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee — her 60th year as monarch. The U.K. fell to No. 4 in 2012, as Germany rose. Moat says Germany's focus on 2013 might stem from its upcoming national elections.
In that light, one could hypothesize that America's gains might reflect a rebounding economy, and an increase in future planning. Or, it could result from the citizenry's lack of excitement about the 2012 election season during the previous year's study.
Similarly, Japan's rise from No. 12 to the third spot could be tied to its recovery from the tsunami and earthquake disaster of 2011.
Among large countries with developing economies, Brazil led the way in 2012 at No. 9, while Russia treaded water at 37, after placing 36th last year. India gained six spots to take 31st, but China slid 10 places, down to 41 from the year before.
In both years of the study, Vietnam and Pakistan occupied the bottom two slots.

Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.

Support the hospital with a donation that helps kids get the care they need.
I am principally interested in the reaction of the peripheral nervous system, and second order neurons of the spinal dorsal horn to axonal damage, whether these changes result in maladaptive phenotypes (chronic pain) (Costigan et al., 2009a)or adaptive ones (regeneration) (Richardson et al., 2009). My focus is developing and using truly unbiased genetic research tools to obtain an unprecedented view of these mechanisms.
From these data we wish to glean key genes and functional cascades, in order that these mechanisms can be proven in the laboratory, always with a view to translate such knowledge into future therapies.
To do this I use whole genome expression microarrays in rodents with Dr Griffin (MGH), Dr's Moss & Fitzgerald (London, UK), and Dr's Coppola & Geschwind (UCLA). I use genome wide SNP arrays in humans, in collaboration with Dr's Belfer & Lariviere (Pittsburgh), as well as Dr Diatchenko (UNC). I work with Dr's Neely & Penninger (Vienna, Austria) to search drosophila genetics for relevant phenotypes (Neely et al., 2010).
All of these data are combined to produce strong leads which are analyzed by multiple molecular methods prior to target development in humans.
Examples of such work include,
1.The identification and subsequent characterization of GTP Cyclohydrolase 1 (GCH1) as a determinant of pain sensitivity in rodents (Tegeder et al., 2006).
Current work develops cutting edge transgenic animals to further investigate the tetrahydrobiopterin pathway in sensory neurons as well as defining other human pain targets (Costigan et al., 2010).
2.The identification and characterization of the role of the innate (Griffin et al., 2007)and the adaptive immune system (Costigan et al., 2009b)in neuropathic pain. Current work develops an understanding of how T-lymphocytes and myeloid cells interact to create neuropathic pain.
3. I am actively exploring the mechanisms of regeneration within peripheral nervous system (Mills et al., 2007) and am currently working up multiple exciting new genetic leads in this area.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

Do you use substances or engage in compulsive activities to regulate your mood? Do you reach for something sweet, a couple of drinks, or a pack of cigarettes after a difficult day because you can't unwind without them? Do you race to the stores to spend away the day's frustrations or run around in circles taking more time to get less done? If these self-defeating habits sound familiar, Emotional Sobriety will shed light on why and how these coping mechanisms threaten your health and impact resilience. When we manage the stresses of the day by turning to outside 'mood managers' such as food, sex, work, shopping, gambling, drugs, and alcohol rather than healthier forms of 'self-soothing, ' it is because we lack emotional sobriety--the state of processing our thoughts efficiently to bring our emotions into balance, says bestselling author and renowned addictions psychologist Tian Dayton, Ph.D. In her latest book, Emotional Sobriety, Dr. Dayton shares compelling, honest tales of her life experiences and case studies of those she has counseled. Illustrating that emotional sobriety is a mind/body phenomenon, Dr. Dayton includes ideas on how to attain emotional literacy--the skill of translating feelings into words so that we can use our thought processes to understand and bring our emotions into balance--and how to calm the limbic system so that we can actually experience what we're feeling. The limbic system processes our emotions and governs our mood, appetite, and sleep cycles. Repeated painful experiences, in childhood or adulthood, over which we have no ability or sense of control or escape can oversensitize us to stress andderegulate our limbic system. Dr. Dayton shows you through concrete examples how to bring your emotions and thoughts into balance and learn healthy ways of 'self-soothing' to relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, rage, and the desire to self-medicate.

GlobaMED Devices: Global Anemia Detection & Treatment
Brown University, 2006 - $20,000
Although anemia is a highly preventable disease, it often goes undetected in the developing world due to a lack of labs for testing and the high cost of equipment. To combat the problem, this E-Team is developing AnemiCAM, a rapid, inexpensive, non-invasive method of measuring blood hemoglobin levels. The device, which can be manufactured for under $30, examines the conjunctiva (the mucous membrane lining the inner surface of the eyelid and the exposed surface of the eyeball) and allows measurements to be made in less than ten seconds and with 95% accuracy.
The team founded Corum Medical in 2006, an early stage medical instrument company focused on AnemiCAM (now called LumenI). In 2007 the company signed a license agreement with Brown University and Rhode Island Hospital that gives Corum exclusive worldwide rights to the noninvasive method of measuring hemoglobin.

Many people feel stressed at work, and that stress may lead to gaining extra pounds. A 2007 study in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that the more job stress a person experiences, the greater the risk for becoming obese. According to the Weight-control Information Network (WIN), individuals may eat when bored, sad, angry, or stressed , even if they are not hungry.
Even with Weight-Loss Drugs, Losing Pounds Isn't EasyOut of the millions Americans who are overweight and go on a diet each year, many regain all or a part of the weight they lose within five years.
Get Support to Beat Bad HabitsWhether you are just beginning to think about changing a habit, or you have already started but have hit a rough spot, family and friends can help.
Healthy Strategies for Weight LossExperts say the long-term success at weight loss requires a balance between diet and physical activity.
Is It Hunger or Appetite?If you feel "hungry" just a few hours after you've eaten a meal, it's likely you're responding to something you saw or smelled.
Maintain a Healthy Weight for a LifetimeWhich is more important to you -- being able to wear the jeans you wore five years ago, or being able to move better, have more energy and improve your health?
Maintaining Weight LossKeeping extra weight off requires effort and commitment, just as losing weight does.
Obese Parents Influence Children's WeightChildren whose parents are overweight or obese are at higher risk for becoming obese themselves, studies have shown. One study, in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that for a child under 10, having an obese parent more than doubled the child's risk for becoming an obese adult.
Snacking Can Help You Maintain a Healthy WeightMany nutrition experts say that having a healthy snack midmorning or midafternoon can help you maintain your energy and prevent you from eating too much at lunch or dinner.

(CNN) — What are the best places for a breakup?
These destinations can ease the pain of saying, or hearing, those fateful words.
1. Museum of Broken Relationships, Zagreb, Croatia
It's comforting to know you're not the only one in a bad relationship.
The Museum of Broken Relationships in Croatia's capital collects and exhibits dramatic love tales and objects submitted by the heartbroken.
Donations include an axe that was used to destroy an ex-girlfriend's furniture and a wedding dress that represented one lady's recovery and growth from a failed marriage.
2. 'Sleep together shop,' Tokyo
There's nothing like a lonely bed to remind you just how bad your life sucks. But Tokyo has it covered.
Japan's capital has taken the maid and butler café culture to the next level with Soine-ya, a "sleep together shop" allowing male customers to sleep next to a girl for a fee.
The shop insists it's not what you think -- Soine-ya enforces a strict code of conduct to prohibit any sexual requests.
The first outlet opened a few months ago in Akihabara and a second is opening in Kabukicho, the red-light district.
There's also a female-oriented version -- Soine Prime offers (non-sexual) time with boys for heartbroken women.
3. Divorce Hotel, The Hague, the Netherlands
The Hague is the best place in the world for a divorce, according to Jim Halfens, CEO of Divorce Hotel.
Divorce Hotel is a service that gives couples looking to split a place to sort the paperwork quickly and comfortably.
The Carlton Ambassador Hotel in The Hague is Halfens' favorite. It's a wonderful location for shopping, popular beaches and good food, he says.
Proof that Divorce Hotel can help you avoid any Hollywood-esque hysterics, one soon-to-be-divorced couple asked to sleep in the same room during the divorce procedure.
4. Any nightclub, Ibiza, Spain
You can replace the misery of a breakup with the despair of a hangover in Ibiza -- one of the best nightlife destinations in the world.
Hot party-goers, great music, absurd scenes and long party hours will help you through those sleepless nights.
5. Wellness and meditation retreats, Thailand/India
Pristine beaches, tranquility and mediation retreats can offer some remedy for doleful souls.
Kamalaya Wellness Retreat and Holistic Spa is tucked away in the southeastern Thai island of Koh Samui.

Why The Shining, still, today? Expectations were high in the summer of 1980. Stanley Kubrick had been filming his adaptation of Stephen Kings monumental bestseller for nearly two years in absolute secrecy. The only teaser trailer released to theaters consisted of a single shot of red elevator doors that opened and unleashed a torrent of blood that washed over the screen. The films iconic yellow poster, which was designed by the legendary Saul Bass, drew you in even though it gave away nothing.
But when the movie finally opened, the most common response was Huh? This was not the story King had written. The performances Jack Nicholson as the alcoholic Jack Torrance, Shelley Duvall as his wife Wendy and 6-year-old Danny Lloyd as their son Danny were pitched at such different levels, they felt like they belonged in different movies. Worst of all, the movie wasnt scary. Kubrick simply didnt understand horror, the critics complained. Even King publically stated he hated it. The film grossed a modest $44 million less than The Blue Lagoon and Smokey and the Bandit II and Urban Cowboy and was generally deemed an artistic failure. It was even nominated for two Razzies (for director and actress), a pre-Oscar award given to the worst films of the year.
But not anymore. More than three decades later and 14 years after his death in 1999 The Shining is Kubricks most widely seen movie. It is arguably the most beloved, and to many fans his best work.
Rodney Ascher, director of the documentary Room 237, about six people obsessed with the film, has a theory on why the consensus on The Shining has changed over the years.
Kubricks movies are all intended to be seen more than once, and it came out just as the home video revolution was starting, he says. You could watch any movie on tape. And unlike 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was shot in widescreen and unwatchable on videotape, The Shining was shot in a 1:33 ratio, so you could watch it on your TV and see the entire image. I think thats when the film really started to take root with people.
Room 237, which screens April 12th through the 25th as part of O Cinema Wynwoods Kubrick retrospective, consists almost entirely of film clips The Shining, of course, but also other movies while six fanatics lay out their theories about the film in voiceover, using scenes from the movie to prove their theories.
That poster of a minotaur that hangs in the playroom of the Overlook Hotel? Thats foreshadowing for the chase in the maze that ends the film.
Those cans of Calumet baking powder featured prominently in the scene inside the hotels kitchen? Thats an indication that The Shining is really about the genocide of Native American Indians.
That Apollo 11 sweater Danny wears in the film? Thats Kubrick letting you know the first manned moon landing was fake, and he directed it.
One man suggests watching The Shining backward and forward at the same time to discover hidden images (Redrum!), which is akin to watching The Wizard of Oz while listening to Pink Floyds The Dark Side of the Moon.
Most persistent of all, though, is that The Shining is a metaphor for the Holocaust, a subject that had long fascinated Kubrick. The typewriter Jack uses is a German-made Adler (and, curiously, changes color throughout the film). The famous room where something awful lurks in the bathtub, numbered 217 in the book, was changed to 237 for the movie (2 x 3 x 7 = 42, the year the Nazis decided to exterminate all Jews).
The truth is that the owners of the Timberline Lodge in Oregon, which stood in for the exterior of the Overlook Hotel in the movie, asked Kubrick to change the number because they have no room 237, so people couldnt request to stay there. But The Shining is screened in the hotels lobby every night, and guests still pop in to watch a bit of the film after a day of skiing a testament to the movies hypnotic power. When you come across The Shining, you cant help but stop and watch for a little while, no matter how many times youve seen it.
The Shining is far from my favorite Kubrick film, says James Naremore, a professor at Indiana University and author of the critical study On Kubrick. I didnt like it much when it first opened, but after seeing it many times, reading lots about it and writing about it, my respect for it has grown considerably. I think its far better than the King novel and one of the most intellectually interesting horror movies ever.
Kubrick was something of an art film director. His films arent junk food. Theyre complex: They ask for and repay repeated viewings, not because they have complicated meanings, but because theyre so artistically and intelligently made. They assume intelligence in the viewer.
Kubrick may be the only consistently good great director, Naremore says. He has no clinkers or movies destroyed by studio meddling. But Im not sure why The Shining has become such a cult movie to talk about it at [the level Room 237 does] is sociologically interesting but beyond me.
The theories floated in Room 237 have been debunked by Kubricks longtime assistant Leon Vitali, who told The New York Times, I was falling about laughing most of the time. There are ideas espoused in the movie that I know to be total balderdash.
Lisa Leone, vice president of artistic programs for the National YoungArts Foundation, spent four years working with Kubrick on Eyes Wide Shut as set decorator and second-unit photographer, and she agrees people tend to find unintentional messages in his movies.
Stanley was all about detail, she says. He was completely in control of everything. He was obsessed with the look and content of his sets as he was with performances. But when I would ask him little things I had heard about symbols in his movies, he would look at me and say, What are you talking about?
Matthew Modine, who starred in Kubricks Full Metal Jacket and wrote a book about the experience titled Full Metal Jacket Diary, says people who describe Kubrick as obsessive are missing the point.
There is never an insignificant scene in a Kubrick movie, or even a frame of film, the actor says via email. Obsession always sounds like an extravagance when used to describe an artist. If I say a basketball player practiced obsessively to perfect his shooting, you imagine a person committed to his sport. When obsessive is used to describe artists and their desire to create something beautiful, remarkable and unimagined before, obsessive is tinged with a kind of lunacy or mania.
Stanley spoke to me about this at length, Modine says. He told me, No one would say to Beethoven, Hey Ludwig, how many notes in that song? How long did it take ya to write it? So why do they feel the hunger to ask me how many takes did it take to shoot a scene? Shouldnt the conversation be focused on how wonderful the scene is?
Aside from conspiracy theories, Room 237 points out small details that are a testament to the care Kubrick used in his movies, such as the pattern of the rug inside room 237, which is vaguely sexual in design, or the impossibility of the hotels structure (there are windows with outside views that couldnt exist there). Weirdest of all, when Nicholson is sitting in the lobby waiting to be taken on a tour of the hotel, he is reading a Playgirl (!) magazine.
I tracked down that magazine and found a copy of it, just to make sure, Ascher says. Maybe it was a joke on Jack Nicholsons part. Theres a ton of stuff that we dont talk about in the movie. The close-up of that photo at the end of the movie is presented as a challenge. Its supposed to be the Rosebud of the movie. Oh, now I understand! But instead, it presents us with a new puzzle. And the date on the photo in particular [July 4, 1921] is a challenge because it doesnt link up with anything thats discussed in the movie. What the subjects in Room 237 are analyzing are not random pictures in a cloud. Kubrick did everything for a reason.

Mario's one of those video game characters who I think is truly deserving of the 'Super' title. He climbs down tunnels, chucks fireballs, and takes to the sky (provided he's got the raccoon suit on), all in his quest to save the princess.
Now you can have a functional memento of Mario in action thanks to TRoweDesigns. They specialize in Steampunk, industrial-type lamps like this one inspired by the Mario Bros. franchise. It's got a single light held up by a black iron pipe that's encased in a vintage glass insulator to light up your room.
Probably the awesomest part about the lamp is how you're supposed to switch it on. There are no buttons to press or switches to flick, because all you have to do is pull the chain where Mario's hanging from and, voila! You've got light!
