We're beyond impressed with the craftsmanship of one handy dad, who constructed a gorgeous bunk bed, complete with a staircase, crown molding, and built-in bookshelves, for his two young daughters.

I work 50 hours a week. So why am I paid for 40?
THE QUESTION I have always wondered why salaried employees are not eligible for overtime pay. My work week has always been 50 hours or more. It’s a running joke with my peers about how it is impossible to do my job in 40 hours. In fact, the company has always expected more than 40 hours, yet my salary has never reflected this de facto demand. THE FIRST ANSWER Bill Howatt Chief research and development officer, Morneau Shepell, Toronto You’re not alone. Whether an organization is private, public or government, many salaried employees work long hours. An employment lawyer can provide advice on your specific employee contract. Many organizations are beginning to notice the implications of the 50-hour

This is the Audi SUV we've all been waiting for
Seven years after its introduction, the Q5 remains Audi's best selling SUV. Prospective buyers have waited several years for a new, second generation of the compact crossover. They have watched Audi introduce a slew of brand new offerings — but no Q5. Now, it looks like the wait is finally over. Audi announced last week that the second generation Q5 is set to be introduced on September 29 — ahead of the 2016 Paris Motor Show. Few details on the new compact crossover are available, however, the exterior styling of the Q5 aligns with the design theme first seen in the larger Q7. It's likely that the second generation car will join the the Audi A4, A5, and Q7 on the company's MLB evo platform.
