It’s a common sight during the winter holiday season. Bell ringers standing in the cold outside malls and stores, collecting change for charity in red kettle.
But for many in the community, that red kettle is all they know about The Salvation Army, the international organization that has made the red metal bucket a signature part of holiday donations. The same rang true for many of the fellows participating in Ford’s first Thirty Under 30 program.
The nine-month leadership program instructs 30, millennial-aged Ford employees on what it takes to work in philanthropy. In addition to learning how charities work, the Thirty Under 30 fellows provide insights for non-profits to better connect with the largest generation of young people since the Baby Boomers came of age.
Last year, 10 fellows each collaborated with the Salvation Army, Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries and the United Way for Southeastern Michigan. While helping these nonprofits create solutions applicable to longstanding programs and new initiatives, the millennial employees were taken through a learning process called design thinking by experts at the Henry Ford Learning Institute. The process involves using solution-based design methodologies and applying them to life, business, cultural situations — or in this case, the three Detroit-area nonprofits.
For many of the fellows, the most important building block that design thinking helped to provide when approaching the nonprofit focus points was empathy.
“Empathy is the biggest piece to the puzzle,” said Roy Yewah, a member of the inaugural Thirty Under 30 class and a Financial Analyst in Ford’s Manufacturing, Parts and Logistics area.
Unifying the voices so all are heard on an equal plane is a key to reaching the fulfilling circle of volunteerism and satisfying service needs. In other words – learning what is behind all those red kettles.
James Peng, a Thirty Under 30 participant, control systems engineer in Dearborn, said one of the projects for the Salvation Army was finding ways to attract a younger audience through Echelon, the nonprofit’s National Young Adult Auxiliary.
For the Salvation Army Outdoors program, the Ford employees advocated spreading the word via the summer camps and the fall back-to-school backpacking event.
They also looked for solutions to improve efficacy for the nonprofit’s Bed & Bread Club, which aims to make 3,000 to 4,500 sandwiches each day with two full-time employees and volunteers.
This project reinforced the idea that every little bit counts when it comes to volunteering or giving, program participant Meredith Citkowski, a chemical engineer with the Lincoln Continental program at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant, said.
Her group developed an idea following tire tracks Henry Ford created. Utilizing an assembly line concept, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a childhood lunch fave, became a meal for thousands.
“We prototyped our micro-volunteer opportunity concept and made one sandwich every 6.5 seconds,” Citkowski said.
That resulted in 1,100 sandwiches by hand in about two hours before they ran out of bread.
“Advanced planning, together with a high volume of volunteer participation, made for a highly efficient and highly impactful volunteer project,” she said.
On optimum days, they averaged 3.09 seconds per sandwich. However, without volunteers the assembly slows to 9.60 seconds, or only 3,000 sandwiches made, causing 500 fewer people to get a meal.
While many of the millennials wanted quick volunteering projects to go along with their kinetic lifestyles, they discovered the design-thinking process requires the patience to shelve preconceived notions of others and a willingness to revisit ideas that provide an ah-ha! moment deeper into the project.
The collaboration of 30 millennials and the three nonprofits already is paying off.
While more than 200 employees applied for the inaugural Thirty Under 30 class, the number of applicants to the sophomore class, which kicked off in February, increased 72 percent to 362. The new group has one focus — food insecurity.
And the number of participating nonprofits also has increased, doubling to six, including Gleaners Community Food Bank, Crossroads of Michigan, Yad Ezra, Fish & Loaves Community Food Pantry, Pope Francis Center and Ford Mobile Food Pantry.
As a new advocate of the design-thinking approach, Peng anticipates volunteering to help with the second Thirty Under 30 class. He added that he can incorporate the tools he learned in other philanthropic ventures and on his 9-to-5 job.
Likewise, Yewah and his group plan to continue working with nonprofits. They are developing a foundation to help local nonprofits locate experienced personnel who can address ongoing issues concerning leadership, funding and volunteerism.
“Allowing them to consult (with) nonprofits for the better will be extremely satisfying and attractive in order for our continued success as a foundation,” he said. They now await word from the Bill Ford Better World Challenge committee, a global grant program awarding as much as $500,000 to winning civic projects, to learn if their creation is a winner.

Here we have a Japanese paper model of the famous dodo bird. Dodo's are believed to have gone extinct sometime in the late 1600's. The flightless bird became an indelible part of our collective pop culture memory after Lewis Carroll included an anthropomorphic dodo as a character in his 1865 novel, Alice in Wonderland. The papercraft template and instructions for the dodo are available here.
The animated television series, The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes! premiered on Disney XD in 2010. This Iron Man paper toy was released by Disney the same year to promote the show. The look of the toy reflects the animation style of the series. Although Earth's Mightiest Heroes was replaced by the Avengers Assemble show in 2013, this papercraft is still available. The PDF template for the toy may be downloaded here.
Sometime, when I wasn't paying attention, David Petersen went and added five new Mouse Guard paper toys to his list of offerings!

All ten of the toys in Petersen's papercraft series may be downloaded here.
Here is a nifty collection of papercraft bobbleheads depicting characters from the BBC's 1981 television adaptation of Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Included in the set are Marvin the Robot, Eddie the Computer, Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent. Each of the bobbleheads is the creation of UK papercraft designer BazookaJo. Templates and instructions for the models may be downloaded here. The "bobble effect " for the figures is achieved by making use of a spring from inside a retractable pen.
In Star Wars: Episode III, Anakin Skywalker hot wires an airspeeder in order to pursue the bounty hunter Zam Wesell who had just made an attempt on Padme Amidala's life.

Earl Denham and Harvey Barton have filed an appeal asking the Supreme Court to cite Judge Breland Hilburn for contempt.
They ask for the removal of Hilburn, Special Master Britt Singletary, Special Fiduciary Steve Simpson and several other lawyers.
Hilburn seems to be dancing to the same tune as he was back in Wilson v. Scruggs.
Improperly plead, properly plead. Not before the court, before the court.
Hearing is scheduled,hearing is cancelled. I will follow the court’s order, I won’t follow the court’s order, I will follow the court’s order. I won’t recuse, I will recuse, but I won’t recuse in some.
The thing that is shaken is the public perception of the judiciary.
Just one day after Breland Hilburn issued an order saying he will not hold a recusal hearing nor recuse, he reverses course and recuses in the Denham & Barton cases.
Attorney Harvey Barton says that he is not satisfied and will continue to seek Hilburn’s removal in all the cases.
We are awaiting an order from the court and will post details as they become available.

When Thanksgiving gets a little closer, you may start pondering changing up your traditional turkey for a deep fried one. There are a lot of deep fried turkey recipes around the web, which reflect the popularity of this particular culinary approach to the ever-delicious turkey. Of course, what recipe you choose depends heavily on taste preferences. No matter what, however, there are some things you should know about deep frying turkey before you begin.
The good part about deep frying a turkey is that it's very fast and very flavorful. If you happen to be a fan of crunchy skin – be ready to fight over every inch. Overall, deep frying makes for a tender, juicy turkey.
On the down side if you're on a diet, deep fried turkey recipes will not help much (mind you, I think holidays should be a time to give your diet a break!). Your turkey may taste oily if it's not drained completely. Also improper use of a turkey deep fryer can be very dangerous.
Dry Rub, Injection or Both?
Some people swear by dry rubs as the key to their succulent deep fried turkey recipes, others prefer injecting marinade into the meat, while a third group says, "hey go for the gusto – do both!" I confess I'm in this group, being a big flavor junkie.
Having said that, a rub is a much safer route when deep frying your bird. Why? Because with an injection, you have to be certain to get the marinade into the meat, NOT under the skin. Any marinade under the skin will spatter when you fry, sending hot oil everywhere. And ending up with nasty burns on your face is not the best way to celebrate the holidays.
There are several details that some deep fried turkey recipes leave out– usually safety precautions you can take to make sure you get to enjoy this treat completely without incident.
O Make sure you have a big enough pot to fully cover your turkey with oil and have several inches to spare.
O Use good cooking gloves and goggles to protect your hands and eyes from spattered oil.
O Keep a fire extinguisher handy – you're using a LOT of oil and should it boil over or splash just right, you can easily end up with a grease fire.
O Make sure your turkey is room temperature when you add it to the oil.
O Keep children and pets away from the area where you're deep frying.
O Cook your turkey outdoors in a well ventilated area, away from any structures. Never make any deep fried turkey recipes in an enclosed space or a building!
O Make sure your fryer is on level ground (dirt or grass is best).
O When you're done, leave the oil to cool completely before storing.
This is just one example of the many great deep fried turkey recipes you can try. Do not be afraid to get creative with it!
Step 1: Defrost the turkey completely, cleaning it inside and out, then rub the outside of the bird with the spice mixture and leave it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day let the bird come to room temperature while you make the marinade (about 45 minutes).
Whip these six ingredients in your blender. Using a meat injector, inject this mixture deep into the meat of the turkey (using most of it for the breast).
Heat your frying oil to 375 degrees F. When the temperature's right, carefully lower the bird into the oil and cook it for 3-4 minutes per pound. You want the internal temperature of the breast to reach 180 degrees. Drain thoroughly cavity-side-down and allow to rest for about 10 minutes before carving.

Paintings are some of the most impressive works of art. Some people however have difficulties on how to rate the value of a painting. Currently, there are numerous types of paintings in the market covering different art eras and movements such as Impressionist, Surrealism, and Art Nouveau among others. Among the most popular types of paintings are the oil paintings which have the ability to capture perceptions and imaginations of different people. There are so many works of art today, majority of which are found in galleries and museums all over the world. Unfortunately, many people do not have access to such places where they can experience this work of art. It is a relief though that nowadays many talented artists are selling their pieces to the public. Therefore, it is important that one knows how to value a painting before buying it.
The actual value of a painting is determined by various aspects. Such factors include size, medium, style, creativity and difficulty, prominence of the artist, time, subject matter, emotional attachment and the story. In the recent past, there has been a boost in the sale of fine art. Therefore, quality paintings are on high demand and are fetching the top dollar in the market. The most important aspect that comes to play when deciding the value of a painting is the authenticity of the painting. Authentic and original paintings are of high value as compared to the unauthentic paintings.
Work of art is not a commodity. Therefore, valuing it is not a question of demand and supply as is the case with many commodities in the market. Assigning a dollar value to a painting is about assigning a value to human creativity, which is not easy. The following are dome of the factors that can determine the value of a painting.
Provenance is the financial history of a painting. This can be determined by analyzing the documentation on the ownership history of the painting. The provenance of a painting determines its market value, desirability, collectability, and its overall value. It also gives an idea of the origin of the painting. By analyzing the provenance of the painting, it is possible to get some vital information about the painting such as the awards it has won in the past or the books and articles it has been mentioned in.
The value of a painting is also affected by its physical attributes such as the subject matter, the size, color, weight, complexity, cost of materials and the time used to come up with the painting. Other attributes that contribute to the value of a painting are brush strokes, theme and texture.
With regards to the condition, well conditioned paintings are of greater value. The condition of a painting is basically affected by how well it is maintained. If well maintained, a painting will be in a good condition hence, of great value. The condition may also be affected by blemishes, scratches, cracks and discoloration. It is also necessary to ascertain whether the painting has ever been restored since its creation. The durability of the painting is also a key aspect in determining the value of a painting.
Assessing the value of a painting can be a daunting task. However, with these basic guidelines, the process should be easier.

Edgar Degas was a French painter, graphic artist, and sculptor. He began to paint early in his life. By eighteen, he had turned a room in his home into an artist's studio, and in 1853 he registered as a copyist in the Louvre. His father, however, expected him to go to law school. Degas duly registered at the Faculty of Law of the University of Paris in November 1853, but made little effort at his studies there. In 1855, Degas met Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, whom he revered, and whose advice he never forgot: "Draw lines, young man, and still more lines, both from life and from memory, and you will become a good artist." In April of that same year, Degas received admission to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.
In 1854-1859 he made several trips to Italy, some of the time visiting relatives, studying the Old Masters; he painted historical pictures and realistic portraits of his relatives: Portrait of Marguerite de Gas, the Artist's Sister, Portrait of Achille de Gas in the Uniform of a Cadet, Portrait of Hilaire de Gas, Grandfather of the Artist. By 1860 Degas had drawn over 700 copies of other works, mainly early Italian Renaissance and French classical art.
In the 1860s he was introduced to Impressionism by Édouard Manet and gave up his academic aspirations, turning for his subject matter to the fast-moving city life of Paris, particularly the ballet, theatre, circus, racetrack, and cafés. Influenced by Japanese prints and the new medium of photography, he used displaced figure groupings and unfamiliar perspective to create figure groups seen informally and in movement, similar in effect to snapshots. His fascination with the ballet and the racetrack sprang from his interest in picturing people absorbed in the practiced movements of their occupations.
At the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, Degas enlisted in the National Guard, where his defense of Paris left him little time for painting. During rifle training his eyesight was found to be defective, and for the rest of his life his eye problems were a constant worry to him.
After the war, in 1872, Degas began an extended stay in New Orleans, Louisiana, where his brother René and a number of other relatives lived. Staying in a house on Esplanade Avenue, Degas produced a number of works, many depicting family members. One of Degas' New Orleans works, depicting a scene at The Cotton Exchange at New Orleans, garnered favorable attention back in France, and was his only work purchased by a museum (that of Pau) during his lifetime.
Although he is known to have been working in pastel as late as the end of 1907, and is believed to have continued making sculpture as late as 1910, he apparently ceased working in 1912, when the impending demolition of his longtime residence on the rue Victor Massé forced a wrenching move to quarters on the boulevard de Clichy. He never married and spent the last years of his life, nearly blind, restlessly wandering the streets of Paris before dying in 1917.

The first stable release of Bootstrap 4 is here. And it’s pretty cool. This article looks at some of its best features.
It was on 19th August, 2015, that Bootstrap 4 alpha was finally out. This was after months of anticipation, anxious tweets asking for the disclosure of a release date, and a few scattered scraps of news by Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton, having the effect of intensifying rather than quenching our curiosity. More than two years later, the wait for the first stable release is finally over.
As a designer, I love crafting my own CSS. However, I confess that I find Bootstrap a well thought out and strongly supported front-end framework that I’ve immensely enjoyed using — both for building my projects and for learning more about writing better, modular CSS.
As soon as news of the latest release was out, I downloaded the source files for Bootstrap 4 and spent some time going back and forth between reading the docs and digging into the code to find out more.
Here are the latest Bootstrap features I like the most. I hope you find them awesome too!
Mark himself is quite a fan of great documentation. His Code Guide by @mdo is evidence of his attitude that high-quality documentation is part and parcel of writing high-quality code.
The documentation for version 4 has been rewritten from scratch using Markdown, and its appearance has been revamped with a new layout, color palette, and the use of system fonts.
include instructions and how-tos covering all areas of the framework, from different ways of installing Bootstrap to using each component and dealing with browser quirks.
Finally, if you’d like to run the Bootstrap docs locally on your computer, follow these instructions.

I do have two rabbits though and they're keeping me SO busy, haha.
Those above are some cuties btw.

Broken treaties are at the heart of the protests at Standing Rock.
For the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline perpetuates a long history of broken promises made by the U.S. government.
“We live with so many broken promises, there’s no reason for it,” Dave Archambault II, the chairman of the tribe, told ABC News.
“We understand what lands we own, and what lands were illegally taken from us,” he added.
The nearly 1,200-mile-long, $3.7-billion Dakota Access pipeline plans to cross the Missouri River just north of the Standing Rock Reservation, prompting concerns for the safety of the tribe’s drinking water and preservation of its sacred sites.
For months, the Standing Rock Sioux and their supporters have camped out along the banks of the Missouri River in an effort to stop the controversial project. Hundreds of protesters, or water protectors, as they prefer to be called, have been arrested since the protests began, many charged with criminal trespassing. But the protesters say they aren’t trespassing; in fact, they say they are the victims, citing the broken treaties their ancestors made with the U.S. government.
The proposed route passes through land that was once set aside for the Sioux in the 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie. That historic agreement ensured the Sioux could retain portions of five states, but ceded all of their land east of the Missouri River to the U.S. government in exchange for money, agricultural aid and strict rules about any access to Sioux territory by outsiders. However, the agreement was short-lived.
“Before the ink was dry, westerners were coming in,” Archambault said.
The U.S. government did little to stop white settlers from infringing, according to the State Historical Society of North Dakota.
Nevertheless, after gold was discovered in the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota deep in Sioux territory, Congress passed the Act of 1877 which ceded the Black Hills to the United States without tribal approval in one of the most controversial land grabs in U.S. history.
More than a century later in 1980, the Sioux took the Black Hills case to the Supreme Court and won a decision that rewarded the tribe with more than $100 million. To this day, the Sioux have refused to accept the funds, hoping instead to get back the sacred land itself.
After seizing the Black Hills, Congress moved to further reduce the Great Sioux Reservation in acts passed in 1887 and 1889, dividing it into fragments of its original 1868 version.
Since then, the Standing Rock Reservation’s borders have essentially remained the same, though the tribe claims it lost thousands of acres of its best lands to flooding after the government erected several dams along the Missouri River without consulting the tribe in the mid-20th century.
It’s a dark history that weighs heavily on the Standing Rock Sioux and their sympathizers. Just last week, the Army Corp of Engineers, the government agency responsible for determining whether to issue the final easement necessary for the pipeline to cross the Missouri River, announced that "additional discussion and analysis are warranted in light of the history of the Great Sioux Nation’s dispossessions of lands," according to a statement released on Nov. 14.
“It's like a perpetrator committing a crime on an innocent individual,” Archambault told ABC News. “If you do it once, you should be stopped; if you do it again, you should be stopped; if you’re not, you become a serial perpetrator time and time and time again, and today we are saying, 'No, don’t put this pipeline here, enough is enough,'” he said.

Warehouse simulation is the computer-based modeling of a real warehousing system. Simulation enables an organization to analyze and experiment with its warehousing process in a virtual setting, reducing the time and cost requirements associated with physical testing. Storage, docks, conveyors, forklifts and even personnel can quickly be introduced and adjusted within the simulation model, allowing companies the opportunity to determine how best to fully utilize their equipment and maximize efficiency.
FlexSim is powerful yet easy-to-use software for simulation. A comprehensive and innovative simulation engine is hidden behind drag and drop controls, drop-down lists and many other intuitive features that make it accessible for anyone to experiment with a model. All simulation models are created to scale and are presented using 3D visuals, making it easy to watch a virtual warehouse go through its daily operations and visually observe which elements of the system are lacking in efficiency. FlexSim also gives decision makers the tools to confirm their observations, with impressive statistical reporting and analysis built right into the software.
The need for efficiency in industry has never been greater, with personnel, fuel, transportation and material costs continuing to rise each year. Simulation provides a way to put a warehouse to the test in a risk-free environmentwithout disturbing the existing warehouse system. It also enables users to determine minimum actual costs without sacrificing the required output.
Are we maximizing our storage locations in order to reduce movetime?
Are our products getting to the right place at the right time?
Have we succeeded in reducing WIP to the lowest possible level?
Full 3D simulation – Take a leap out of the outdated, flat simulation environment and into something better. FlexSim brings a better visual experience to the world of simulation models, providing rich 3D objects to make your simulation look more realistic. 3D simulation modeling brings the model to life, and aids in communication and discourse for staff members at all levels.
Easy to use, yet powerful – FlexSim presents user-friendly tools like drop-down menus and drag and drop functionality allow beginners to build and test models in just minutes, with no background in computer coding. And with a bit of practice in FlexSim’s intuitive Logic Builder, or by using some basic commands, users can get the most out of this extensible and powerful simulation engine.
Consider every viewpoint – Unlike other simulation software products that are built with a narrow focus, FlexSim has the flexibility to answer any question about your warehousing process. You can view the operation on a deep level that goes beyond simple observation. Designers can track custom variables, consider variations in downtimes of processing equipment, test different order sizes, and much more.
No project is too big – FlexSim is capable of simulating any sized project, no matter the scope or complexity. All facets of a project, including receiving, picking, batching, packing and shipping, can be simulated in just one FlexSim model.
Competitively priced and cost effective – With a variety of license types and a comprehensive support network, FlexSim provides industry-leading value to its customers. Our 3D simulation software is competitively priced and doesn’t come with any hidden costs or add-ons, so even a basic license comes packaged withpowerful features such as the experimentation engine and the ExpertFit® distribution-fitting software.

While the technologies collectively known as Web 2.0 have penetrated the consumer sector rapidly over the last four years or so, the process has been much slower and more measured in education. There were some breakthroughs in 2007, with upward trends in the adoption--or at least availability--of Web 2.0 technologies in the areas of teacher professional development and supplemental instructional technologies, such as podcasting, streaming media, and blogging.
For 2008, the watchwords are convenience, collaboration, and convergence, as more and more fundamental applications find a home on the Web--away from the desktop--spawning the next generation of mobile devices and potential new approaches to the use of more traditional computing tools.

How to Appeal a Denied Life Insurance Claim. When you're dealing with life insurance issues, it's already a difficult time in your life. And when a claim is denied, that can add even more stress to you and your family. But that denied claim isn't necessarily final. You have the right to appeal.
Contact the life insurance company. Find out their reason for denial so you have a clear understanding of what you're fighting.
Gather all your important information. Verify that the insurance account was paid in full and the account was in good standing. You should also gather up all benefits paperwork so you understand exactly what benefits were in place at the time of death.
Find out the appeals process for the life insurance company. Each company is different, so you should probably call and ask their official policy.
Submit your appeal to the life insurance company. Appeals should be submitted in a timely manner, otherwise your time to appeal may run out. Clearly state why you feel your claim should not have been denied and any evidence you have to support your claim. You should submit any supporting documents at this time. But make sure you have your own copy of everything in case there is confusion in the future.
Call and check on your appeal. Even though it may take a while for your appeal to be investigated, you should periodically call and check on the process. If necessary, ask to speak to a manager. You may also ask for the appeal to be sent to the corporate office for further review.

City police said a 25-year-old man got inside the front door of the school, was confronted by a 56-year-old staff member, who was shot. Officials said the shooter was confronted nearly immediately when they tried to enter the school.
Dr. Sonja Brookins Santelises, chief executive officer of the Baltimore City Public Schools, said in a statement that the school will review its safety and security protocols in light of the shooting. "We believe this is an outside person who confronted the person inside the school", Conaway said. 'They don't keep those things on all day, ' he said.
The investigation is being handled by Baltimore School Police at this time. We only learned about the shooting from a cousin who works for the school system.

Meet the Betelles » James Betelle, Where Are You?
John Wesley Betelle was born, lived and died in Delaware. Spending most of his life as a clerk for the B&O Railroad in Wilmington, I suspect he traveled very little, if he left the state at all.
1921 was a big year for his son James. Between Guilbert’s death in 1916 and a stint in the US Army through 1918, his business had suffered greatly. But in 1919 he began cultivating work again, the biggest being a contract to design over 100 rural schoolhouses for Delaware. By 1920, he was designing schools in the New Jersey suburbs, including towns like South Orange, East Orange and Summit.
So it was that on March 23, 1921, James treated his father to a “pleasure cruise thru the West Indies, stopping at Cuba, Panama, Venezuela, Trinidad and Martinique” aboard the SS Megantic. It wasn’t James’ first ocean voyage—he had been to Europe a number of times already—but for the senior Betelle, it was likely a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, perhaps as a 75th birthday gift. With the architecture firm gaining success, Betelle could well afford it.
That I have this information is due to a number of recent releases of millions of ship manifests and passport records at Ancestry.com. It was in these records that I discovered not only this (and other) ocean voyages of Betelle, but also two new photographs. One is of the 42 year-old architect, and on his own passport form, that of his father, 75. Clearly the bald gene didn’t skip a generation in this family.

When I moved into my home and contemplated the vast amount of furniture I'd need to purchase in order to make it a 'home' I vowed that I wouldn't just buy anything to fill the space - I'd wait and purchase pieces that I really liked, and hopefully I'd be able to find pieces I liked at a price point I could also afford!!
Given my unit is only a one bedroom, when considering the purchase of a sofa, I decided that a sofa-bed would be my best choice. There was only one problem - have you seen what's readily available in sofa beds?? UGLY!!
Eventually (after months of looking) I found a sofa that really liked - Yay! It's the Monterey Sofa from Ethan Allen, and I fell in love.
Unfortunately they don't make it in sofa bed - Boo!
The next step in my sofa search was the realisation that in order to get the sofa style I wanted, in the format I wanted - I was going to have to go custom. Oh boy - did I ever underestimate just how difficult a process this would be.
The first problem was I had no idea where I could get a sofa made. A Google search solved this fairly readily - of course sofa manufactures are not located in Midtown Toronto - they're all in the suburbs. This was a wee problem as I don't have a car. Let's just say I became quite familiar with a few of the GTA's transit systems during my quest.
The second issue was the actual choosing of fabric. The designers make it look so easy on all those shows on HGTV, but for people like me with no design training it's a little bit of a nightmare. I'd select some fabric that I thought would work, schlep a sample home only to discover that the shade changed completely once in my space. Part of the problem was I'd already purchased a rug which is a bit of an odd colour - not gray, nor blue or green, but somewhere in the middle, and finding a fabric that didn't clash was surprisingly difficult (It's even more surprising when you consider I was looking for a beige fabric - who knew beige could clash with anything?).
At the start of June, after several weekend jaunts to the dreaded suburbs, I'd finally chosen my fabric and was told my sofa would be ready in 6 - 8 weeks. I figured at this point the hard part was done - I was wrong. Six, and then eight weeks went by, and still no call from the manufacturer to arrange for delivery. When I called them I was told there had been a delay in receiving the fabric, but I'd get my sofa in 2 weeks. Okay a small delay, but nothing to get too worked-up about. Three weeks passed. Four.
I finally got the call that my sofa was ready (Hallelujah!) and arranged for it to be delivered. I should probably admit something here - delivery services make me uncomfortable. Not because there's some strange people in your home, but because I always feel really stupid just standing there - I feel like I should be helping. I know it's their job, but still I feel weird just watching them lift and carry my stuff.
That's right - I hole right there on the front of my very tardy, newly delivered, pricey sofa. As there wasn't anything the guys could do about it, they took their leave and advised me to call the manufacturer in the morning. I admit it was a small hole, and I'm sure some would have just lived with it, but I knew I just couldn't (remember the problem I had with the hole in my foyer wall?).
To this day I don't understand how they missed the fact that the pillows were the wrong size.
In an effort to make this massive post shorter, the guys came back for the sofa and at the end of October I got a call to say it was fixed and ready for delivery. Given the issues I'd had before, this time I went there to inspect the sofa first before it was delivered - I figured that as much of a pain traveling to the suburbs was, it was less painful than watching two guys deliver a sofa again only to have to again send it back. This attempt was much better.
On Monday November 1st, only 5 months after it was first ordered, my sofa finally took its place in my living room.
Am I completely happy with it? Honestly? No, but I finally reached the point where I couldn't think about it any more. One thing I do know - if I ever decide to buy another place, one item on my 'must have' list for the real estate agent - a living room that will fit this sofa - there is NO WAY I'm ever purchasing another one! Once was quite enough thank you!
Hi Michelle, I am thinking about ordering Ethan Allen Monterey Sofa, but can't decide the fabric color. Could you please be so kind and let me know your fabric color? Thanks a million!!!
The sofa I bought isn't actually from Ethan Allen - it was custom but inspired by one by Ethan Allen. The fabric was therefore one I chose from the thousands at my upholsterer. Would you like me to see if I can find out the name?

We all know those early morning risers who get their workouts done before most people even open their eyes in the morning. Contrarily, we also know those who grind it out late at night and go to bed post workout-high. Not to mention people who get their workout done on their lunch break or in the middle of the day.
This probes the question, when is the best time to workout?
Am I limiting my results because of when I workout?
Early Morning Workouts: Early morning workouts can be extremely great for many reasons! When you first wake up, your mind should be cleared and ready to tackle the day after a good night’s sleep. It often is a quiet time of day and can give you room and space for you to get your body and mind going! Many people with busy schedules find early morning workouts to be the most effective because they like to get their workouts in before their day gets going. Studies have shown that morning workout goers usually are the most consistent with their workout routines. It oftentimes can be the most consistently open time to workout before the day progresses. It an also set your day up for success! You conquered your workout so now you are ready to take on the day! It is important to note that first thing in the morning, your body temperature is lower. So, it may take a little bit longer to warm up and get your muscles moving. There have been studies done, showing that working out on an empty stomach can increase calorie burning. This is something that we incorporate often with our Intermittent Fasting program, LEAN FAST. We will workout first thing in the morning while still in the fasting state! Find out more about it HERE.
Mid-day workouts: Others find the middle of the day to be the peak time of energy! Your body temperatures are higher and your body feels awake and loose. A mid-day workout can boost blood flow to your brain and help you concentrate! Also, if you are working out mid-day, this can keep you from mindless snacking. It is important to note that eating your meal is recommended after your mid-day workout, so that you are not working out on a full stomach and then you can refuel your muscles afterward! Taking a break in the middle of a workday can also help people to finish the day strong and give them the extra endorphins that they may need to finish that last work project or get through that extra long meeting. Lunch breaks are built into the work schedule, so it can be a great way guarantee your workout time! We even suggest grabbing a co-worker to do the workout with you! It is always more fun with a friend!
Evening workout: In reality, many people cannot workout any other time then after work or even after the kids are asleep. Some even prefer this! This can be a great way to end your day as you end on a major win and allow time to work on yourself! It can be a great stress reliever too! Knowing you are working out later in the evening can also help to keep you on track with eating healthy foods throughout the day. You want to make sure you feel good and are ready to go for your workout, so you fuel your body with healthy foods! It can help to hold you accountable! Working out can be a huge stress reliever after your day. It can help you to get off some steam and process frustrations built up. You do want to be mindful of how late your workout though, because you want to give your body fuel after you workout, along with adequate time to settle down before you head to sleep.
Overall, all times of day can be great and effective!
The biggest key is to find what time works best for you to stay consistent!
When will I be most motivated to workout?
When is the most consistent time?
When can my accountability or workout partner join me most often?
When will I have the least amount of interruptions?
Whatever time of day you choose to workout, we hope you make it a priority because working out has so many benefits! Regardless of the time, make sure that you refuel your body after the workout, stay hydrated, find a time and commit to it, write it in your schedule so you are less likely to bail, and look at working out as a mental break and a time for you to work on yourself!
At HIITBURN, we are all about the time-efficient workouts as we are busy people and we know you are too! We love to do HIIT workouts and find them super effective in weight loss and getting lean!
And did you hear? We are running a 30-Day Get Lean Summer Challenge that will have fast, effective workouts + Nutrition, recipes, and more! The workouts can be done any time of day and done essentially anywhere!

To the Staff: As you've learned from Arthur's message, beginning next month the paper will be reconfigured. Metro news will appear in the A-book along with International and National news. Sports will be combined with Bizday, except on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, when we will offer freestanding sports sections. I just want to elaborate a little on what this means for the newsroom.
The aim, of course, is to save money -- and, importantly, to do it without cutting back coverage. The savings come from eliminating an early shift in the printing plants on some days. We do not expect to cut the space devoted to these important and popular areas of coverage, or to reduce the staff of journalists who deliver that coverage. For readers who like to single out the Metro or Sports sections for the train ride to work, the new configuration will be a little less convenient. But there will be no less of the great news reports, enterprise, features and columns they expect from those departments.
-- The new configuration will allow us to give readers a free-standing Arts section in the Saturday paper.
-- We will get some later deadlines, which will help us competitively. Monday Bizday, which is now on the early press run with deadlines in the afternoon, will be printed on the late run, something business editors have long craved. Thus business news that breaks on Sunday night can hereafter be displayed in its proper place, where readers most expect it. We are working to assure that the Arts section can also move to later deadlines most days of the week. We still have some details to work out about the timing and mechanics of the later close, but our ambition is to set deadlines so that late-breaking news from Hollywood or the art auctions or awards shows can be included in the section.
-- Metro stories that begin on A-1 will jump to Metro space. This year, to ease navigation of our news pages, we have mostly eliminated those annoying jumps from the front page into other sections. The result is that front-page Metro stories mostly jump into National space, where they may feel a little orphaned. Now they will jump into the company of other Metro stories. We have already begun a conversation with editors in Metro about how we assure, in practice, that we keep the light of Metro burning bright when there is no longer a freestanding Metro section. For one thing, I think we will want to be more willing to front urgent Metro stories in the metropolitan editions. For another, we will be looking for new features or improvements to our Metro coverage to reaffirm our commitment to local readers. We've also talked to Tom Jolly about using the front page more to billboard sports coverage.
And then there are the opportunities the Web presents us.
It's worth remembering that these cost savings serve a long-term purpose. While we are tightening wherever we prudently can, we are continuing to invest in our journalism, especially online, where our audience and revenues are rapidly growing. Metro and Sports have proven among the most innovative departments in exploiting the possibilties of the Web. Witness the Olympics coverage; witness City Room. My belief is that our continuing proliferation of great coverage on the Web will erase any questions about our commitment to Metro and Sports coverage.
The top editors at Metro and Sports have been briefed on this, as have the members of the Masthead. If you have questions or thoughts about this development, you know where to find us.

What is a Common Marmoset?
Common marmosets are a type of monkey. They are a particular species of marmoset in the genus Callithrix. Their scientific name is Callithrix jacchus. They have distinctive large white ear tufts and their tail is striped, with alternate wide dark and narrow pale bands. Their coat is grey, black, brown and white with streaks of orange.
Originating in the Atlantic Coastal Forest in Northeast Brazil they have also been introduced to some parts of South East Brazil, including some urban areas. They are arboreal and weigh less than a can of baked beans. Claw-like nails allow them to cling to trees.
In the wild they live in small family groups of 3-15 individuals. Their day is spent socialising, and finding and feeding on gum, insects, lizards, snails, fruit, flowers and nectar whilst staying alert to danger.
Marmosets need expert care. They should not be kept as pets.
