Co-owner Sonny Gur says the Sunset Cub in South End (1820 South Blvd.) has changed everything from items as big as a new sound system down to details as small as the glassware.
Why the change? The club is 11 years old and recently changed partnerships ( Doug and Dawn Smyth joined the Sunset team in March), Gur said. I got an early look at the revamped club recently, four months and close to $1 million later.
The Scene: Even though square footage hasn't changed, it feels as though it has doubled in size, thanks to a more open main room and a bigger bar area. Gur said he added about 10 staff members to accommodate the new bar.
Hand-painted acrylic panels by local artist Ron Wimer line the rectangular bar, backlit with the club's new lighting system that changes color sporadically.
Custom-made high-backed booths create intimate, semi-private VIP seating areas.
But what the club's partners are most excited about is Playmotion, a new technology that allows partygoers to interact with different virtual environments via infrared cameras and screens mounted on the ceiling.
The Crowd: It has always been a destination for local celebs ( Michael Jordan and other Bobcats execs have their own humidors) and national artists looking for an anonymous night out. Promotional director Derek Braun, says the club aims to be an ultra lounge – an exclusive nightspot where every single person can a VIP experience (bring your AmEx black card).

Call of Duty's Star-Studded Co-Op DLC Is Off To A Fine Start

Modders Are Bringing Back Resident Evil's Awful Voice Acting
Resident Evil's original voice acting was atrocious. The lines were cheesy and the delivery wooden. "Jill, here's a lockpick. It might be handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you." But it has a fond place in my heart. I didn't blame Capcom for writing and recording new material for REmake, but I'm so…

President Obama nominates current vice chair Janet Yellen as new head of Federal Reserve
If she replaces Ben Bernanke, Ms Yellen would be the first woman to lead the American central bank
New York
Wednesday 09 October 2013
President Obama is preparing to nominate Janet Yellen, the current vice chair at the Federal Reserve, to be the next head of the American central bank, ending months of speculation about the identity of Ben Bernanke's successor when he steps down from his post early next year.
Ms Yellen, who, if her nomination is confirmed by the US Senate, would be the first woman to lead the Fed, has been Mr Bernanke's deputy since 2010. Widely respected in both policy-making circles and among academic economists, she will inherit the country's top central banking job at a crucial juncture for the Fed, as it considers how and when to begin winding down the extraordinary stimulus measures put in place to support the US economy in recent years.
The President is expected to name her as his choice for the influential post on this afternoon, marking an end to an unusually controversial nomination process for the job.
During the summer, the White House was widely believed to be weighing the possibility of nominating Larry Summers, a former US Treasury Secretary under President Clinton and one-time adviser to President Obama.
Although Mr Summers also boasts strong academic credentials, his record as a cheerleader for financial de-regulation - he was front and centre during the Clinton administration's push to deregulate the financial sector - provoked the opposition of many within the President's own party.
His candidacy was also marred by memories of the controversy surrounding his resignation from the presidency of Harvard University in 2006. Mr Summers stepped down after seeming to suggest that men outperformed women in certain subjects owning to biological differences, remarks for which he soon apologised.
Last month, with signs that key Democratic Senators would oppose his candidacy, he eventually withdrew his name, citing the prospect of a bad-tempered confirmation battle in Washington and paving the way for Ms Yellen's nomination.

Twins erase six-run deficit vs. Angels
There's no mystery about this. As Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau perform, the Minnesota Twins will follow.
Timely home runs by both of the former American League MVPs? That's as close to a formula for victory the Twins can find.
Morneau hit a two-run, tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning, and the Twins rallied from six runs down to defeat the Los Angeles Angels 10-9 on Thursday.
''That feeling when it comes off the bat and you know it's gone, there's nothing like that in baseball,'' Morneau said.
Mauer went deep, too, hitting a three-run shot off Dan Haren in the fifth that cut into a 6-0 lead the Angels built against Francisco Liriano. Every Twins batter had at least one of the team's 20 hits, enough to make up for the 14 men left on base, including eight in scoring position.
''We know we can do it,'' Mauer said. ''Maybe everybody else doesn't.''
The skepticism stems of course from their health. With Mauer's knees and Morneau's concussion, the franchise cornerstones - who make up more than one-third of the team's payroll - have missed big chunks of the last two years. This was the first time Mauer and Morneau homered in the same game since July 6, 2010, the day before Morneau took that hit to the head.
''I saw it in spring training. I saw it today. It's fun to watch those guys hit,'' said Josh Willingham, who started a three-run seventh with his fourth of Minnesota's six home runs this year.
Maicer Izturis had a two-run single in a five-run second inning and stole two of the Angels' five bases. Trumbo homered and scored a run in the fifth on Wells' two-out ground-rule double when he walked and stole a base. But that wasn't enough.
Denard Span had four hits, including an infield single that tied the game at 6 in the seventh inning. On the play, he reached first at the same time as Scott Downs, inadvertently stomping down on top of the reliever's foot with his cleat. Downs' right ankle rolled awkwardly, and he left the game what the team called a bruise. He was on crutches afterward.
Which hurt worse? The inning or the injury?
''Both,'' Downs said. ''That's baseball. That's going to happen. It's not fun to watch, that's for sure. It's just something we have to bounce back from as a bullpen and go back at it.''
Without LaTroy Hawkins or Jason Isringhausen available to pitch after working the night before, manager Mike Scioscia didn't have many options. The bullpen gave up 11 hits and seven runs over the last four innings.
''We're going to need to get our starters maybe over that little hump and then try to get our roles in the bullpen a little more nailed down,'' Scioscia said. ''Our guys tried. We just couldn't shut the door when we needed it.''
Peter Bourjos hit an RBI single off Brian Duensing, whose wild pitch let Vernon Wells take second. That put the Angels in front again in the eighth - for a few minutes. Mauer singled off Rich Thompson (0-1), and Morneau followed with his first home run of the season. He had left seven runners on before that. The Twins tacked on two more runs, and the drama didn't stop there.
Jeff Gray (2-0) picked up the victory, and Matt Capps notched his second save despite giving the Angels two runs back.
Albert Pujols, 5 for 23 with his new team, singled to start the ninth and reached third when Torii Hunter's possible double-play ball skipped off second base for a fluke single. Mark Trumbo cut the lead to two with an RBI single, Wells beat out another potential double-play ball and another run scored on a fielder's choice to first.
Chris Iannetta's slow roller to third ended the game with a runner on second.
''If I get 65 of them this year and every one of them is like that, I'll be happy,'' Capps said.
Haren struck out Mauer, and Morneau flied out to the warning track with Span on third in the first inning. Mauer's infield pop out and Morneau's lazy fly followed a bases-loaded, one-out situation in the third, and boos came from the crowd.
But Mauer got one back in a big way in his next at-bat.
''To hit one good and get it out of the park, it's definitely a good feeling,'' he said.
Notes: With RH Jason Marquis making his final minor league tuneup start Thursday and RH Scott Baker set for season-ending elbow surgery, the fifth spot in the rotation has become a competition between RH Anthony Swarzak, who pitches Friday, and RH Liam Liam Hendriks, who takes the mound Sunday. ... LH Matt Harrison, who threw six scoreless innings to win his first start for the Texas Rangers, faces Swarzak on Friday for Texas. ... The Angels send Ervin Santana (0-1, 7.94 ERA) to the mound on Friday in New York to face Hiroki Kuroda (0-1, 6.35 ERA) of the Yankees.

Best bed It�s not a Duxianna bed but it�s excellent for what it is! I had to spend $XXXX.XX for a nice mattress to put on top of this, but now I love going to my condo (I live somewhere else) It�s so firm and comfortable! The only complaint is that the boards seem a little delicate. So eventually I�m going to put a board in between the mattress and the frame. But the storage is AMAZING! I keep so much stuff down there it�s really great. and easy to access, just pull up and the hydraulics work great! Love the comfortable headboard too! (just don�t get on a seam, kinda uncomfortable). When I first got it (about a year ago) it took approximately 1 hour to put together (by myself). The only thing my mom had to do was to hold the hydraulics down so I could screw the frame into the arms.. (DON�T MAKE THE MISTAKE I MADE OF CUTTING THE RESTRAINTS) Also, the vacuum fits underneath for good cleaning so there aren�t huge dustballs rolling around. Very sophisticated style at a great price!

Worked in the beginning Quality not so good. After 2 years the storage hinge broke. When I called to have them fix it under warranty they said they can't but offered me $150 in return. The idea is nice in theory and looked and worked for the first 2 years, but does not last.

awesome bed The boxes for this bed was so heavy, I had to help the deliveryman carry them up the stairs. That being said, you'll need someone to help you put this bed together. I did it alone because I know some tricks of the trade, but it was still very difficult because of the weight. Weight aside, the bed was very easy to assemble. All the tools and parts for the bed were labeled and laminated in plastic on cardboard sheets. This really made assembly quick and easy. The instructions were clear-I love it when you have pictures and words. This bed is awesome, even thought lifting it up those first inches is strenuous. You must get the bed up about one fourth of the way before the hydraulics kick in.

Will Void Mattress Warranty This bed is amazing in every aspect except it will void your mattress warranty because it doesn't offer enough support in the middle. therefore your mattress may sag an inch in the middle. so if you sleep in the middle of your bed you'll notice this sagging and when it ruins your mattress you won't be getting another one from the warranty department. otherwise the bed is amazing, its beatuiful and high quality

Perfect space saving storage solution This is a high quality, quality made product. Yes it took a while to put it together but I did it myself (probably more of a job for two but it can be done) and all I needed that wasn't in the package was a screwdriver. Very heavy but because it is a solid piece of furniture, I've only had it for a short while but I feel confident it will not fall apart. It really is good looking, as other reviews have said, the pictures don't do it justice. The leather is very nice. Hydraulic lift works great, very easy to use. **I noticed some people say their hydraulics didn't work.. could have been just my error but at first I didn't think they did because they wouldn't press down but once I put the mattress on the weight was enough to release the hydraulics initially and since then they are easy to use.** Also I live in a small apt and the storage underneath is exceptional. There's tons of room down there.

Love it! This bed is perfect for me - a city dweller with limited closet space. Another reviewer recommended NOT intalling the plywood on the bottom of the bed to get a couple extra inches of storage - great advice! I fit two window AC's, a complete luggage set, two underbed storage containers, and other odds and ends easily under the bed.The bed looks great, is super sturdy, and freed up my closets.(yes, assembly did stink - you'd think they would be sure the instructions were legible but whatever)

Questions & Answers
Hello bultprf, we are still researching this and should have the answer shortly.
We bought this bed in 2012 and during a recent move the hardware was misplaced. Is it possible to order the hardware for this bed? Please let me know. Thank You!!
Hello benchreviewer2, you will be contacted by customer care. Have a great day!
Hi, I see that the bed just has slats in order to support mattresses. Is there a guideline of how much weight these slats will support? i.e. are the slats sturdy enough to support the weight of a 260lb person? Also can one use a standard queen size plywood board on top of the slats for additional support? Thanks!
Hello goonergirl007, Overstock does not weight test items. However - you can use additional support, if needed. This includes the use of a bunkie board or a piece of plywood. Thanks for shopping with us!
Hi, what size queen mattress fits on this bed? (Actual measurements of the mattress in inches?) I know the size of the bed, but I want to know if my mattress is going to be too small. Thanks!
Hi djptheother, this bed will fit a 60" x 80" queen mattress. I hope this helps, thanks for shopping with us.
How deep is the storage area? I do not need the other dimensions of the bed as asked below.
Thank you for contacting us stevencoo. Approx. 8 inches. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
I bought this bed a while ago and it's great, but recently I moved it and one of the legs broke. Who can I contact to replace it?
Hello eeps, I am so sorry to hear that the leg broke on your bed. You will be contacted by Customer Care for further assistance on this. Thanks for shopping with us.
I have the same query. This product is great!!!! My leg/hydraulic lift also broke. Do you know where I could find a replacement?
Once this bed is assembled and in place, will it be easy to take apart, move to another house and reassemble?
Hello, sila77. Yes, once assembled, this bed can be disassembled for moving without too much trouble. Thank you for shopping with us!
What kind of mattress should be used for this bed? I just read temperpedic isn't supported. Any others that won't work with this bed?
I have a temperpedic memory foam mattress & it works fine on the bed.
Hello xpiavx, This bed has received excellent reviews! I apologize for the confusion; this bed can be used with any kind of mattress. The question about Temperpedic mattresses is saying that in general, these type of beds work better with a solid support, rather than just slats. This support system will hold any type of mattress. I hope this information helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
Can I get directions on how to assemble this bed?
Hello alhinnawis, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
Is this bed too heavy to fit in a trailer??
Hello, taz76. The answer to this would depend on your trailer and its weight capacity. This bed weighs approximately 150 pounds. Thank you for shopping with us, and have a great day.
I don't think it would be--I live in an apt, not a trailer, but the bed is probably lighter than other beds. My 2-cents.
Hi, Is the Full-size version of this bed out of stock or does Overstock not offer that size? If out of stock, do you know when it will be available again? thank you.
Hello rebakas, Items are restocked as they become available; however we cannot guarantee an Item will be restocked. At this time I have no way of knowing if we even carry this item in a full size since we do not have one available. I would just suggest that you check back periodically.

Is this bed real top grain leather & what other colors do you offer Joseph
Hello Joseph, Yes, this bed is real top grain leather and no we don't offer another color at this time. Please feel free to check back with us periodically. Thank you for shopping with us!
The bed is made from bicast leather, which is a real leather hyde treated with polyurethane to create a smooth, consistent surface that resists stains and scratches.
When will this item be back in stock?? I would like to purchase it.
Thank you km0621 for your interest in the Leather Queen-size Lift Storage Bed. Unfortunately this item is out of stock. We currently do not have inventory to check, and cannot guarantee the item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us!

Different styles of beds work for different people and different bedrooms.

Commentary: Umesh Pandey
Shinzo Abe's small but bold step
- Published: 19 Aug 2013 at 13.51 | Viewed: 578 | Comments: 0
- Newspaper section: Asia focus
The agreement by Asean foreign ministers on a common agenda for their coming talks with the goliath to the north was one of the most important regional events of last week, but something even more interesting took place a little farther north on the Asian continent.
Disputes over the South China Sea have been festering for years, so it was significant that Asean ministers meeting in Hua Hin (minus their Cambodian counterpart, unsurprisingly) are now united on a Code of Conduct for the area. Now they will take their proposal to Beijing for talks from Aug 28-30 to mark the 10th anniversary of their "strategic partnership".
But one could argue that an even bigger and more encouraging development took place in Japan. Prime Minster Shinzo Abe, despite previous claims that he felt sorry for not having visited the Yasukuni shrine during his first term as premier in 2006, stayed away from ceremonies held there to mark the 68th anniversary of the surrender of the Japanese forces during World War II.

- " Very well organisedand friendly staff Also found the guest respectful "
- 12 Jan 2015 julie England
- " I wanted to stay near the airport Reina Sofia to get quickly and cheep to this. The timetable of the bus wasn't correct in the hostel and after waiting half an hour for the bus I needed to call a taxi which costs 15 €. The hostel is just beside the airport but there is no dirct way to come to. "
- 23 Dec 2014 Sabine Germany
- " You get a free breakfast with everything like Müesli, Toast and stuff. There is a large outside chill area where you can meet the other travelers. Everything gets cleaned daily. You can eat lovely dinners for 5Euros every night. The staff is very friendly and does a lot of little events like tours, quiz etc. Location isnt very good. Its in a little village and there isnt really anything there except the little snacks from the hostel. There are busses to El Medano and Los Christianos. Was lovely "
- 29 Oct 2014 Anonymous Switzerland
- " Had to wait 2+ hours to be checked in the night we arrived only to find out the person that was able to check us in was sitting next to us in the outside lounge area the whole time. Poor management and poor facilities. Showers are dirty and flood every time, even more you're expected to "mop up your water," upon exiting. You're required to strip your beds upon leaving. You could 100% find a nicer hostel for the same price. "
- 17 Oct 2014 Andrea USA
- " I had a wounderful time at los amigos. The atmosphere was fantastic so sometimes it was even hard to leave the comfortable sitting-area and go out do do something. A recomendable Place if you stay in the South of Tenerife. It was one of the highlights of my Trip to the canaries. "
- 17 May 2014 Magdalena Austria
- " The place is great,easy access to buses to go in either direction,the staff are very friendly and helpfull, can plan anything as knowledge of area is well known and and that good I've booked another 10 days here. Well recommended and worth every euro. "

Social Complex
Five Tough Social Challenges
Shannon Greer
Your child, once perfectly happy with her made-by-mom playdates, is beginning to develop a social life of her own. Get ready for a wild ride! Although little kids will play with pretty much anyone, 6- to 8-year-olds can be picky about whom they hang with. "Children this age are no longer under the watchful eye of a parent or teacher, so there's a lot more freedom in how they interact with their friends," says Lawrence Cohen, PhD, coauthor of Mom, They're Teasing Me. "They're also testing their social skills and discovering who they are and how they relate to the world." All this adds up to a new and challenging scene -- for you too! No worries. We're here to guide you through these common school-age dilemmas.
Social Challenge: My son refuses to wear a coat 'cause it's not cool. Who says? Everyone!
The peer pressure is really heating up now. But before you start giving the "If Billy jumped off a bridge" lecture, take a deep breath: What's really happening? Though it might seem as if your kid is just trying to keep up with the crowd, he's also learning how to be a part of a group. Helping him find a balance between belonging and being himself can be hard, says Dr. Cohen. His advice? Don't sweat the small stuff: Is it really all that important that your daughter won't wear dresses or that your son wants long hair? Keep your eye on the bigger issues. If it seems like your child is following others out of insecurity and giving up stuff he loves, that's a problem and you need to gently intervene. Explain that good friends will like him for who he is. And if he gets teased, you're going to help him through it.
Social Challenge: Best friend one day, mortal enemy the next. My kid has a "frenemy"!
One week they are practically inseparable, making BFF bracelets and walking arm in arm. The next, your daughter informs you she and her former soul sister are no longer talking. Fight the temptation to pick up the phone and call the ex's mom. The intimacy and comfort that your child feels with her pal make her the perfect person to practice fighting and making up with -- kind of like the dynamic between siblings. Of course, you should listen empathetically when your child is upset, but "most kids get over fights sooner and bounce back faster from hurts than adults do," says Parents advisor Michael Thompson, PhD, coauthor of Best Friends, Worst Enemies. So give your child the space she needs to work out issues, and offer guidance when you see an opportunity. If your child seems stuck, though, it's time to intervene. You can help by arranging playdates with other kids.
Social Challenge: Birthday-party invitations this year? Very few.
If your child feels left out, talk to his teacher and get her take on the situation. She's seen your kid in action and can give you the lowdown on what's going on in class. The good news is that it will probably take just a little coaching on your part to get him over this social hump. Work with him. Be straightforward about how things like whining or tattling rub others the wrong way. Confide in a mom who'll be happy to help subtly jump-start a friendship between your child and hers.
Social Challenge: There's a mini queen bee in my kid's class.
Don't worry; your child isn't starring in Mean Girls Jr. Though your daughter might talk about the "popular girls" or has even morphed into one of the elite herself, what defines who's on top (and who's not) is always in flux. Kids are discovering the ins and outs of the idea of a social hierarchy, and they're also experimenting with the dark arts: gossiping, forming cliques, and excluding others -- but usually without malicious intent. "School-age kids are just beginning to understand the scope of their power over others," says Dr. Thompson. Here's where your guidance can help your child understand how to wield her influence kindly. It's a good idea to get your child involved in activities outside of school so that if things get rocky there's always another group of friends to fall back on.
Social Challenge: Girls are "gross!" My son dumped his best friend.
The battle of the sexes begins at this age. "Children go through a stage where they have rigid notions of what boys and girls are supposed to do," says Nicole Marcus, PhD, a clinical child psychologist in New York City. "This process helps them make sense of gender roles. But don't just let a long-standing friendship go down the tubes in a swirl of peer pressure. The boys and girls may want to have playdates on the sly -- especially if it seems like your idea. If your kid is feeling rejected by a former friend of the opposite sex, explain that it's not personal and it's not going to last forever.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Toronto has launched its very own city-branded condom wrapper
I SUSPECT this could be one of those columns wherein, regardless of what I write, there is a good chance I will end up offending the community standards of those readers who still have community standards.
Most likely, no matter what I type, it will somehow end up being an unintended double entendre that will prompt sensitive readers to fire off outraged emails making the central point I am, in fact, an idiot.
I say this, because today's topic is: condoms. I felt compelled to tackle this sensitive issue after reading news reports describing how Toronto has just officially launched Canada's first limited-edition, city-branded condom.
Using the hashtag #condomTO, Toronto Public Health took to the social-media service Twitter to slowly reveal their official city-branded condom wrapper on Wednesday, provocatively rolling out the design tweet by tweet.
The tongue-in-cheek wrapper of Toronto's condom features (cough) three aptly named street signs: Coxwell Ave., Wood St. and Cummer Ave. A message on the package — which features a long, pointy graphic of what we assume is the CN Tower — states: "No matter which way you go, put it on!"
In a nutshell — yes, you could take that one the wrong way, but that's not what I intended — the #condomTO campaign is intended to promote safe sex and decrease sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies.
Toronto is the first Canadian city to unwrap its own city-branded condom, but it's following in the footsteps of some other big-name North American municipalities.
"Following the success of campaigns in New York City and Los Angeles, Toronto Public Health is launching condomTO — a free limited-edition condom," Toronto's health department gushes on its website. "Why are cities branding their own condoms? It's simple. When condoms are more easily accessible and available, condom use tends to increase."
I am definitely down with that, assuming that means what I think it means. As a safety precaution — which is sort of what this thing is all about — I first bounced the condom concept off my wife. Sorry, what I mean is I asked my wife whether it would be a stretch... OK, again, sorry, but I think you get the general thrust... OK, never mind!
For the record, my wife thought the idea of Toronto dispensing more than 280,000 of its official condoms in bars, clubs, hotels, gyms and clinics starting next week was kind of a nifty thing for a hip and happening city to do.
I believe her exact words were: "Ha ha ha. I like it. It's funny."
What with being a worldly modern journalist, I personally have no issue with the City of Toronto doling out free condoms. That's a good thing. It's just that I am — how shall I phrase this — mildly bemused they felt compelled to shell out for their very own city-branded designer condom. I mean, typically, municipalities slap their names or stamp of approval or logos on more mundane items, such as football stadiums, hockey arenas and community-works project. We're all used to seeing politicians' names on signs taking credit for street repairs, but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable reading: "This condom brought to you by... " To say nothing of how hard it would be (cough) to place your civic motto on a condom wrapper, not that I have a clue what Toronto's actual civic motto happens to be. But I certainly hope it's not: "Toronto: Rising to the occasion!" Or: "Toronto: We're really starting to grow!" Or: "Toronto: We love to brag about the CN Tower!" I suppose these things are going to become the souvenir of the summer in Toronto. It won't be long before we see cheesy T-shirts shrieking: "My Grandparents Went to Toronto and All I got Was This Crummy Condom!"
What I'm trying to say here is I applaud Toronto for being the first Canadian city bold enough to take a provocative step like this.
Now the rest of us have to decide whether, in the interests of improving public health, we want to follow suit and design our own municipal condoms.
I believe with all my heart Winnipeg is just as hip, if not more so, than any other city in the country, but I'm not sure I'd like us to roll out a customized condom with a giant needle-nosed mosquito on the wrapper.
Still, congratulations on having your very own condom, Toronto. You seem like a nice town to visit, but we don't want to go steady.
