Our leadership, industry knowledge, process expertise and standardized control systems deliver solutions to tough challenges with the goal of completing the project on time and on-budget. While our clients gain great benefits from soliciting all of our services, we can tailor our services based on a client's individual needs.
We specialize in project, construction, and development management. We provide the leadership to manage the entitlement, design, and construction processes with efficient, disciplined procedures. Our experienced personnel offers a level of specialized technical expertise few project management firms can equal. In addition, CM&D's experts are extremely proficient in mediating construction disputes, which expedites the schedule and minimizes delays and cost over-runs.
Body copy to come…
Design management has become the most important component of the CM&D project management delivery system. At each major juncture in the design process we conduct a team-oriented critical review of the project documents. This assures that what is being created by the design team is constructable within the established budget, consistent with the owner's intent, and free of design conflicts. The team is able to uncover potential problems and through value engineering strategies, resolve critical issues, thereby avoiding hidden costs and lengthy delays.
At the front end, CM&D can provide developers and capital market clients invaluable assistance through realistic project feasibility assessment, development strategy, and planning. The CM&D support staff prepares entitlement assessments, budgets, cash flows, and schedules for in-depth project analysis and evaluation.
Thorough planning, and accountable leadership, we offer vital pre-construction services to get the project off the ground. Our team of experts prepare critical path schedules, detailed budgets, cash flow projections, and identify long lead items. The bottom line? CM&D insures that the anticipated project goals become reality.
Program management is a partnership with the Owner and CM&D that stimulates effective, cost-efficient and superior project delivery. Acting as an extension of ownership, the Program Manager protects the clients in all areas of project implementation from planning and design, through procurement and construction and into operations and maintenance. Services provided by our Program Management team:
- Risk Management Analysis
- Determination of Goals and Objectives
- Needs Assessment and Concept Formation
- Program Development with Scope of Work Definition
- Site Analysis, and Feasibility Studies Coordination
- Cost Estimating and Management
- Preliminary Budgeting

Employing state-of-the-art software (including Primavera SureTrak, Microsoft Project, and Prolog), we monitor and track all project activities, generate detailed budget and cash flow reports, Gantt timeline charts, PERT organization charts, task and resource allocation assignments, and schedules. Project costs and schedules are constantly backchecked against the anchor budget and schedule for strict adherence. CM&D manages the entire project schedule from concept to punchlist via a proactively imposed project scheduling system.
The key to good project accounting is not only knowing what you have spent-to-date, but also knowing what you have committed to and what potential risks lurk downstream. CM&D generates detailed job cost reports, rolling cash flow reports, and monthly project audits to ensure efficient use of ownership cash flow and to minimize capital interest costs. Thorough construction loan disbursement analysis and control insures that all documentation is in hand and proper backup is complete prior to funds being released.

- Joint venture arrangements
- Equity investments
- Pre-development loans
- Mezzanine loans
- Construction loans
- Takeout loans
- Mortgage facilities
Because of CM&D's extensive experience in the development industry and its many years of service to the capital markets, we have a unique understanding of the information and performance thresholds the capital markets need to see in order to justify a debt or equity investment into a project. We are ideally suited and positioned to assist our clients and their loan brokers in establishing workable, effective debt and equity strategies. Services include the following:
- Financial modeling and budgeting
- Creation of the package to request debt and equity
- Strategies as to sourcing appropriate lenders and equity investors
- Total project budgeting and cash flow analysis
- Assistance in introducing probable lenders and equity investors
- Assistance in creating strategic financial structures
Successful project financing is dependent on many factors beyond that of the tired old adage of "Location, Location, and Location". In today's world, sophisticated capital market lenders and investors review and judge things such as:
- Background and experience of the developer
- Financial capacity of the developer and partners
- Overall development plan
- Overall execution plan
- Financial model
- Development team (breadth, quality, and experience)
- Sales, leasing, and marketing plan

The following biographical sketch was compiled at the time of induction into the Academy in 1969.
Frank Park Samford of Birmingham was born in Troy, Alabama on November 1, 1893, the son of a judge and a grandson of a governor (William J. Samford). After attending schools in Troy and Montgomery, he graduated in 1914 from Auburn University, where he was active in campus affairs.
Soon after his college graduation, he entered the life insurance business, first with the Manhattan Life Insurance Company of New York. State government service soon called, and he was named Deputy Insurance Commissioner when the Insurance Department of Alabama was created in 1915.
He was elected secretary-treasurer of the present Liberty National Life Insurance Company in 1921; vice president in 1932; president in 1934; and chairman of the board in 1960. He is also the director of a number of business firms and a past director of Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company.
Mr. Samford has been active in civic and community affairs throughout his life and was a major support of Howard College in Birmingham. The school was renamed Samford University in his honor. Mr. Samford serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Samford University, and also is vice chairman of the Board of Trustees of Auburn University. He is a trustee of Southern Research Institute in Birmingham, a Director and past president of the Alabama State Chamber of Commere, and a member of the Board and past president of Associated Industries of Alabama.
In addition, he has been active in the Jefferson County Community Chest and the Alabama Hearth Association. He was chairman of the Fund Raising Campaign which secured the USS Alabama Battleship for Mobile in 1964.

London: A new study has revealed that maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help people avoid stress-related ageing.
According to the study by UC San Francisco, it was found that stress ages the body on a cellular level; however healthy diet, getting enough sleep and exercising acts as a "buffer" against the negative impact on the body, the Daily Express reported.
Dr Eli Puterman, an assistant professor in the department of psychiatry, said that people who exercised, slept well and ate well had less telomere shortening than the ones who didn't maintain healthy lifestyles, even when they had similar levels of stress
He further said that this was the first study that supported the idea that stressful events could accelerate immune-cell ageing in adults, even in the short period of a year and it's very important that they promote healthy living, especially under circumstances of typical experiences of life stressors like death, caregiving and job loss.
Stress has been linked to many serious conditions from Alzheimer's to heart disease and cancer. The study concentrated on telomeres, the protective "caps" at the ends of chromosomes affecting how cells age.
The researchers found that women who engaged in lower levels of healthy behaviors, there was a significantly greater decline in telomere length in their immune cells for every major life stressor that occurred during the year.
Yet women who maintained active lifestyles, healthy diets, and good quality sleep appeared protected when exposed to stress - accumulated life stressors did not appear to lead to greater shortening.
The study was published in Molecular Psychiatry.

Discord in perception of IT's importance
- 18 February, 2007 22:00
IT executives think highly of their ability to deliver effective IT strategies. In fact, technology leaders value their strategic contributions quite a bit higher than their business counterparts do, according to a survey by Saugatuck Technology.
The results concur with those of a survey of CEOs by Forrester (see opposite page) which showed they veiwed CIOs as steady performers but not great innovators.
Saugatuck surveyed 340 C-Level executives and 240 CIOs and senior IT executives at companies with greater than US$1 billion (NZ$1.44 billion) in revenue. The survey was conducted in partnership with BusinessWeek Research Services and its findings, released in December, reveal a chasm between what CEOs and those in similar positions think of IT's effectiveness as compared with what technology leaders perceive.
"The unsettling conclusion from this is that while everyone seems to agree on IT strategy priorities at a strategic level, there is still quite a bit of room for improvement at the tactical level," Saugatuck wrote in a research alert accompanying the report. "This tactical dysfunction between IT and business executives serves as a tremendous indicator as to why we consistently see gaps between the real and perceived value of IT to the enterprise."
The disconnect between the two camps is most obvious among IT initiatives that focus on business process outsourcing (BPO), database consolidation, and server consolidation andvirtualization, the survey found. About 70% of IT executives said BPO strategies were effective, while 42% of business leaders agreed. Close to 80% of CIOs said database consolidation efforts were paying off, but just 53% of CEOs indicated that they felt the same. Approximately three-quarters of technology heads reported server consolidation and virtualisation strategies as effective, yet just 55%of business chiefs agreed with that stance.
Other areas that business and IT leaders didn't agree upon include business intelligence and performance management initiatives, which saw a 19% difference in effectiveness ratings, and application consolidation efforts, in which effectiveness ratings varied by 17%.
The results could indicate tough times ahead for technology chiefs selling IT projects to business leaders, Saugatuck says.
"If business executives, especially CFOs, don't see enough IT investments as effective, they will continue to seek control — and in some cases even micro-manage — IT spending," the firm writes. "This implies not only continued IT budget restrictions, but also a continuation of project-based IT investment."

So Long, Pontiac – You Will Be Missed
It was the summer of 1982. REO Speedwagon's "Keep on Loving You" dominated the charts and Raiders of the Lost Ark played on movie screens across the country. It was August—just days after MTV played its first videos and nearly everyone was wearing Jellie shoes, headbands, and legwarmers. I was seven and living in Virginia, down the road from my cousins, Bobby, Mike, and Christy.
Even before I knew anything about boys, I knew my cousin Mike was popular with the ladies. He had a ton of girls after him and whenever someone would tease him about being a ladies man, he would drop his eyes and smile softly ... so humble. He was good looking, fun, and athletic. I idolized him.
One of my most vivid memories of Mike is him outside in the summer sun, shirt off, washing his white Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with the big red eagle on the hood. He doted on that car way more than he ever doted on any woman. That car—it was the epitome of cool … just like Mike.
And so I was saddened to be reminded this week that the Pontiac brand had finally shut down after eighty-four years of providing the world with muscle cars like my cousin Mike had. While the brand had been in decline for years—its "peak" sales year was in 1968—Pontiac's closing still stings. Who can forget colors like "Tiger Gold" and the distinctive silver and charcoal paint on the 10th anniversary Trans Am? How many babies were conceived in the backseats of the Firebirds at the drive-in theater? What can compete with the GTO? Who can forget the Firebird driven by Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields to flee from the law in Smokey and the Bandit? These cars are a part of the American tapestry.
The reasons for Pontiac's downfall are numerous. The love of muscle cars faded. The move to cut costs by then-GM CEO Roger Smith that combined Pontiac's manufacturing, design, and engineering with other GM brands, which made Pontiacs less distinct and more like other GM cars. Then there was the lack of consistent leadership, vision, and strategy. Gas became more expensive; cars became smaller.
Although the last Pontiac rolled off the assembly line in May, GM dealers will continue to service the cars and honor their warranties. But any new Pontiac still sitting on a lot will now be considered a used car.
The curtain has closed on Pontiac, but at least Knight Rider will live on in syndication. Bravo, my friend. Bravo.

About Me
We Are Lasers
So, being a pop culture junkie and a full on geek, I grew up with sci-fi, cartoons, giant robots, and all that jazz. It seems to me like everyone has this take on lasers, or laser guns as being the future of modern warfare. That's all well and good, but how come the argument that plagues lightsabers is hardly ever brought up about laser guns. Most non sci-fi, or just outright Star Wars haters ask: "Why do the lightsabers only go to a certain length?" Well, my question, or the first of my questions, are: "What makes the laser stop moving?" After all, we are talking about a concentrated beam of light that can burn through just about anything, right? Well, what makes it stop moving, or just dissipate after so many feet? Granted, I don't have a degree in science or physics, but we are still talking about a beam of light.
Do the guns have a particular intensity? What would stop it from continuously bouncing around the room indefinitely? Yes, these are the things that float through my regular stream of conscious thought. But, that's what we always hear, right? In every futuristic sci-fi movie they always have laser guns. Star Wars. Star Trek. Terminator. Flash Gordon. "Go, Flash, go!" Laser guns. Even in movies where people go to the future, what are the first three things they ask? Where are the flying cars? Where are the jetpacks? Where are the laserguns? Simon Phoenix from Demolition Man – remember when he was in the hall of weapons? What did he say? "This is the future, right? So where are all the rayguns?" See. My question is, are rayguns really the way to go? I'd think that even in the future they'd be expensive to make. How do you charge one? Are the cheaper models non-rechargeable? Can you have a disposable lasergun? Like you and a buddy are going someplace you're not sure of, would you says: "Hey, man. Stop over at Walgreens so I can grab a disposable lasergun."
Here's my biggest beef with laserguns – they're not very effective. Let's look at what we're talking about. LASER: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A beam of light that burns through things. I guess if your plan is to cut someone in half – "No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die." – then lasers would be the way to go. But if your plan is to shoot someone and kill them, I think not. Let's compare them to our current guns:
About fifty percent of the people shot with conventional guns don't die immediately. They either bleed to death, or suffer from infection and blood poisoning. You won't get that with laserguns. The beam would cauterize the wound as it passes through. This means that unless you shot someone in the head, heart, or spine they're still capable of fighting. Sure it would hurt getting hit, whether it's the stomach or arm, but you wouldn't die from it. That would make fighting kinda tough, wouldn't it? Wounding someone would have all the effect of giving them a papercut. Painful, yes, but it won't take them out of the battle.
So, are lasers really the way to go? I don't think so. On top of being unconventional, it just wouldn't do the job we'd need. "Lee, I'm tryin ta kill somebody, man!"
Flying cars and jetpacks are still a possibility, but we may just want to give up on the laserguns.

Jet Li sets the tone for this non-stop action film when he hurls himself down the outside wall of a tower block. Then it's all punching-out, blood-spurting, bone-scrunching martial arts action.
Robber DMX has stolen some black diamonds, which turn out to be plutonium chips that very bad guy Mark Dacascos is after, while Taiwan cop Li just wants them returned to his homeland. There are car chases, a quad-bike chase and a massive free-for-all at the end.
The movie's good fun as Li takes on numerous villains, DMX manages to keep a straight face and Tom Arnold chips in with the wisecracks.

Photos of mysterious new phone leaked: Could this be the Mi 4?
by Jul 4, 2014 9:26 am0
On the afternoon of July 4, someone in Weibo posted a photo of a mysterious device with Xiaomi's logo on it. Based on comparisons with another photo that was leaked a while back, there is a big possibility that this device is the upcoming Mi 4. From the photo, we can see that the edges of the phone are fuller than the Mi 3's. At the same time, it shows a very narrow bezel case, which solves the biggest problem that most people have with the Mi 3.
This photo could have been leaked from the factory it was made in based on the photographer wearing a glove in the photo and the environment surrounding it. This adds more credibility to the fact that this may be Xiaomi's new phone.
The Mi 4 is predicted to come out this month or the next. What do you think it will look like?
From comparing the phone in the photo with the Mi 3, the Mi 4 should use a 5.2-inch (approximately) display screen. For now, a screen with this small should only have a resolution of 1080p.
This phone will probably use be the Snapdragon 805, have 3GB RAM and a 13mp camera with F/18 aperture, and be 4G-supported. Do you think it will cost 1999 RMB? (321.80 USD)

Edamame are green soy beans that contain nutritious fiber, protein, carbohydrates and vitamins A and C, and they also have ample amounts of iron. Edamame is low in fat. A half-cup serving contains 2.5 grams of mostly polyunsaturated fat and a small amount of monounsaturated fat.
A 12-ounce serving of edamame eaten as a snack provides the body with 10 grams of dietary protein. For people on restricted diets, edamame is a good choice, because it's free of cholesterol and gluten. While there are no firm conclusions about the health benefits of eating soy regularly, soybeans are a popular food staple in many Asian countries that have lower rates of heart disease. Edamame can also be added to salads and main dishes. Raw edamame resemble green peas in a pod and are harvested just before reaching full maturity.
Frozen edamame can be cooked in 1/2 cup of boiling water with a desired amount of salt. Bring the soybeans to a boil, reduce heat, cover the pot and simmer for five to 10 minutes. A spicy chili garlic edamame salad uses 1 pound of frozen edamame, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 sliced garlic cloves and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Cook the soy beans, garlic and red pepper flakes in the oil for two minutes, and sprinkle with salt and lime juice.

Publisher's Description▼▲
When Fanny Price comes to live with her well-to-do cousins at Mansfield Park, the modest, retiring ten-year-old is treated condescendingly by members of the Bartram family. A poor relation, dependent on the goodwill of her aristocratic relatives, the sweet, sensitive, and frequently ignored Fanny nevertheless eventually develops into the ethical center of the family.
Trouble begins with the arrival of Mary Crawford and her brother Henry. Their sophisticated London tastes, and penchant for flirtatious activities, shatter the tranquility of the Bartram home, creating social havoc and precipitating a crisis in the family. But Fanny — always clever, graceful, and pleasant — provides a bulwark of moral strength, eventually winning her family's complete acceptance (and the love of her cousin Edmund).
Described by Lionel Trilling as the most experimental and modern of Jane Austen's works, Mansfield Park is also Austen's most serious novel, written in the full flower of the novelist's maturity. Enlivened by an amusing cast of busybodies, ne'er-do-wells, and social climbers, this acclaimed novel of early-19th-century English society will also appeal to readers as an entertaining study of the interplay between manners, education, and ethics.

Secondary trading markets for hedge and private equity funds will be transformed in the first half of next year - but in very different ways to one another, say alternative asset trade brokers Cattegatt Capital.
Secondary trading markets for hedge and private equity funds will be transformed in the first half of next year – but in very different ways to one another, say alternative asset trade brokers Cattegatt Capital.
For hedge funds, Cattegatt estimates about $200m of stakes will enter markets by June, but the market overall will continue to shrink. Volume already declined from about $60bn since mid-2011, according to some estimates, to $20bn now, according to Cattegatt.
Lars Lindqvist (pictured), founder and CEO, says: "Liquidation of hedge funds have been active in 2010- 2011, so the volume has shrunk, and will continue to shrink.
"I doubt the hedge fund secondary market will be sustainable in its current form because it is self-liquidating – each time assets are successfully placed and a sale made, a piece of the hedge fund secondaries market disappears.
"As a large portion of sellers have been selling very actively, not least during 2011, supply has been effectively reduced."
For private equity, by contrast, Cattegatt estimates European banks will have to offload a total $2.5trn of 'non-core' assets by June to meet regulatory requirements. German and UK banks will need to divest $500bn – all fuelling the private equity secondary markets significantly, according to Lindqvist.
He says in the first half of 2012 Cattegatt has about $100m of firm, exclusive private equity deal flow to place, "but we expect significant volume to crystallise".
In the short-term hedge fund secondaries volume will also grow, and Cattegatt has three portfolios private banks have asked it to find buyers for during next quarter.
Cattegatt already saw tender offers for special credits, PE-type holdings in agriculture and shipping funds, and tender offers for full loan portfolios. "Such tender offers may be attractive solutions for many hedge fund managers, since it offers a full liquidation to one single counterparty, rather than sell-off over a longer time".
Lindquist says inflow to hedge fund stake trading markets over the coming six months will include about $7bn in event-driven fund stakes, $3bn in asset-backed lending and private investment in public equities (Pipe) strategies and $10bn in assorted other strategies.
Cattegatt focuses on interests in illiquid assets in private equity, hedge funds, and other assets including collateralised loan and debt obligations.
Lindqvist notes his firm brokered about $30m in ABL funds this quarter, "unseen in the first quarter, because investors are looking at more esoteric funds where prices still are low." Cattegatt also helped transact African mining interests, and life settlements.

Avocado Trees
Avocado Trees (Persea americana)
As a member of the Laurel plant family (Lauraceae), Avocado trees are botanical cousins to the plants that produce cinnamon and bay leaves. Not surprisingly, Avocado trees are prized for more than their bark (cinnamon) or leaves (bay laurel). The luscious fruit from the Avocado tree, which is actually a large one-seed berry, is the primary ingredient in guacamole. These fast-growing evergreen trees can grow 3 feet in a single season, reaching heights of 30-60 feet with a 20-30 feet spread, although some varieties and cultivars are only half this size. Avocado flowers, from which the fruits form, are unusual among many fruiting plants; in fact, trees are classified based on the type of flowers it bears -- Type A or Type B. The flowers open as female at a certain time one day, then close and reopen as male at a certain time the next day. This alternate opening and closing mechanism can make pollination tricky, but all you have to do is plant two different types of Avocado trees, which allows for successful cross-pollination. Generally, Avocado trees are cold-hardy perennials in USDA plant hardiness zones 10-12, although there are cold-hardy varieties that grow in zones 9-11.
Health Benefits
By growing creamy, buttery-tasting avocadoes, you'll have your own backyard source of vitamins, minerals and other healthy nutrients. Avocadoes provide "good fats," which help decrease cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Fiber-rich avocadoes are also packed with anti-oxidants, such as vitamin E, and are an excellent source of potassium.
As a landscape specimen, Avocado trees provide shade underneath their wide rounded or umbrella-shaped canopy. You can also grow Avocado trees in containers, both inside as well as outdoors. The containers will limit the size of your tree to keep it to a manageable size. If you live in a climate outside an Avocado tree's hardiness range, you can bring in your potted Avocado for the winter and set it outside again when temperatures warm in spring.
Hint: Although starting an Avocado plant from the seed found inside a grocery-store fruit is a fun and easy gardening project, the resulting tree may never bear fruit. If it does, it will likely not be like the avocado you enjoyed from the store; plus, it will take up to 7 years to produce avocadoes. This is why we offer grafted plants.
- Full sun is what an Avocado tree needs for healthy growth and maximum fruit set -- at least 6 hours daily.
- Avocado trees must have well-draining soil, because their roots will rot on waterlogged sites.
- Slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soils are best for Avocado trees.
- Dig a hole only as deep as the root ball and about twice as wide, and backfill the hole only with the soil that you removed -- don't fill in with potting mix or bagged topsoil.
- Water your newly transplanted tree thoroughly, and keep the soil moist but not soggy so the roots don't dry out while the plant becomes established on site.
- If you plant during a windy time of year, you can stake your young Avocado tree; otherwise it should be okay. Remove the stake once the tree's roots have taken hold.
- Water. Water your Avocado tree deeply instead of making light sprinklings. Let the soil dry slightly before watering deeply again. In hot weather, when your Avocado tree is fruiting, you may need to water it more than once a week if natural rainfall isn't sufficient.
- Fertilizer. A rule of thumb for fertilizing your Avocado tree is to apply ½ to 1 pound of nitrogen each year. Add other nutrients based on soil-test recommendations.
- Pruning. If you want to reduce the height of your Avocado tree, don't cut off all the limbs at one time, because this will drastically limit fruit production. Instead, each year cut back the tallest branch until the overall shape and size of your tree is what you want.
- Harvesting. Avocadoes don't ripen on the tree, so you'll want to pick them when they are fully formed and let them soften at room temperature for several days.

In-Hee Bae's re-interpretation of Wendelin Van Draanen's novel Flipped depicts an unrequited love story. The book starts out with a gulf between the perspectives of a boy and a girl. As their relationship develops and they get closer, the stepped bifurcation draws closer, and eventually unites.
Based on stories culled from oral histories of her own Japanese and Japanese-American family, Donica Ida's trifurcated book Japanese/American showcases reactions to the bombing of Pearl Harbor (and its aftermath) from three points of view: the Japanese military, the American military, and Japanese-Americans from the 1940s to present day. Each story highlights an individual's true account.
Najeebah Al-Ghadban's "exploration of the human psyche" uses the institutional vernacular of mental health charts as a point of departure. Inside its exposed spine and threaded exterior, the collection of ten paper-clipped "files" that make up A White Asylum fluctuate between psychological profile and confessional prose revealing and a "discordance between expressions of heart and entrapment of mind."
Based on his own experience as a child, Walid El-Khoury's bifurcated book, Distance takes place in the Egyptian desert. A father and son each tell their own experience of losing one another in the immensity of the sand sea. Positioned on opposite ends of the book, father and son are bound together by an accordion desert. As the tale unfolds, the vast distance of being lost and frightened shrinks till father and son finally, gratefully, find each other."

How accountants inspired a company's growth
Steve Pipe, author of The World's Most Inspiring Accountants, is the keynote speaker at this year's ICAS Practitioners' Conference on 1 June and shares one of the case studies from his new book.
Background information
MyCladders is a Brisbane-based metal roofing and metal cladding company, founded in 2004 by Kendrick Myers.
The situation at the start
Inspire CA's founder, Ben Walker, explains: "They came to us looking for some help growing their business. At the time they were effectively a labour hire business. They were only contracting to one customer, and were only supplying hours of labour (no materials). The hours and workload were dictated by the contractor (i.e. middleman) and so business growth was limited and out of their control."
How their accountants helped
Kendrick already knew that the answer was to get a licence so that he could contract directly with builders in the retail market, without needing a middleman. But he hadn't done it because he felt he needed more accountability and confidence to move ahead.
In a video on Inspire CA's website he says: "I wanted more, but didn't have any confidence. Inspire has given our whole business the tools and the confidence to go out there and get things done. They've said you need to get this, then this, and then this done. Once you get that done, you can move to another step. And thanks to them we have now done all of that, and two steps more!"
As for accountability, explains Ben: "We set them up with a suite of integrated Xero-based cloud accounting and management systems. So they now have a much better insight into the key numbers, and much more control over the entire business. It also gives them far more team engagement, and greatly improved efficiency, as their team can simply login to do their timesheets, apply for leave and holidays, and even report sickness. And it allows us to work closely alongside them to monitor everything in real time, and continually suggest ways to make things better."
The difference it made
Since they started working with their new accountants, MyCladders:
- Has grown from $670,000 to $1.6m in sales.
- Are now quoting for $300,000-$500,000 of work each week, and has also.
- Created 20 new jobs – with the original team of two now growing to 5 full time and 17 part time employees.
How it made them feel
According to Ben, the best aspect of all this success was summed up when Kendrick said: "We support five families through five full-time jobs. And they all have children. So for us to be able to support those families, gives us more drive and a lot of happiness. Because that's what we're here for: not just to grow ourselves, but to grow others around us too."
As for Ben himself: "As well as a great client, I have also gained a great friend in Kendrick who shares my passion for making a difference. So much so, in fact, that I asked him to be a groomsman at my wedding recently. And I'm really proud to say that he was there by my side on my big day."
But the inspiration doesn't end there
Inspire CA lives up to its name in many other ways. For example:
- Publishing a monthly newsletter, "Inspiring business".
- Giving away free copies of its book, "5 numbers all business owners need to know".
- Being a "B1G1: Business For Good", and changing the lives of people in need across the world by making 90,191 micro-givings through www.B1G1.com – at least one micro-giving for every email it sends, meeting it holds, AGM it attends, strategic planning session it runs and coffee and meal it sells in the Inspire Café.
The state-of-the-art and purpose-built Inspire Café, which the entire business is centred around, is perhaps its most extraordinarily creative initiative. Decked in stunning bright red cladding (supplied by MyCladders) it offers the normal range of up-market cafe services. But, uniquely, it is also a business hub, meeting room, seminar venue and executive lounge.
During our 17 years of research, we have never seen anything like the Inspire Café anywhere else in the world.
Given all of this innovation, it is no wonder that Ben's job title is Chief Inspiration Officer or that the firm's website says the following: "Ben started Inspire CA to head in the opposite direction to the traditional 'old way' of the accounting industry. Forget time sheets; forget charging by the hour; forget difficult to use software and glazing over in conversations with your accountant. Inspire CA is for the business owner who wants to understand what drives their business, while partnering with an accounting firm who takes care of the rest."
Hear Steve Pipe speak at the ICAS Practitioners' Conference 2016 – The Inspirational Practice. His book, "The World's Most Inspiring Accountants", containing 62 inspiring case studies of accounting practices across the world, generating outstanding results for themselves, their clients and the wider world, is now available on www.stevepipe.com.

The NYU student trapped in a narrow building crevice for up to 36 hours told cops he was drinking and tumbled from a fire escape into the gap, sources told The Post on Monday.
Asher Vongtau, 19, left his pal's room on the 10th floor of the student dorm at 80 Lafayette St. early Saturday to go down to a small interior courtyard between the buildings, sources said. Students usually hang out in the space to smoke or drink, sources said.
Vongtau then climbed a fire escape on the building next door and reached the second or third floor before slipping and — in a freak twist of fate — landing in a 6- to 18-inch gap between the structures.
He remained there — on the ground, trapped between the concrete walls — until a campus security guard searching for him heard him moaning the next day.
At that point, he was wedged into the space so tightly that he could only move his right arm.
FDNY crews used heavy drilling and excavation equipment to bust through a ground-floor cinder-block wall to reach the pre-law student. They finally pulled him out around 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
"He's probably the luckiest kid alive,'' one fire source said.
Vongtau's best friend, Michael, Yabon, 19, who lives at the dorm, said he last saw his pal early Saturday, when they were in his room "hanging out … playing video games.''
Then "he said he wanted some fresh air" and left, Yabon said.
Yabon said he and their friends realized Vongtau was missing after a false fire alarm went off around 7 a.m. and nobody saw him around.
"We went door to door asking everyone we could if they had information on him,'' Yabon said.
Friends posted frantic messages on Facebook and Twitter asking if anyone had seen Vongtau and reached out to his family in Pittsburgh to see if they had heard from him.
No one knew anything.
So "we went to campus security,'' Yabon said.
The student griped that NYU security told them it couldn't check its security cameras to try to track Vongtau's movements until Monday.
Campus guards also said they wouldn't immediately be notifying the NYPD, Yabon said, and that when he went to the Police Department, they agreed with NYU.
"He'd be dead right now" if his friends hadn't pushed to find him, Yabon said.
But NYU spokesman John Beckman said the university followed protocol after being contacted about the missing student at 12:30 a.m. Sunday.
Campus security "immediately began a search, checking the student's room, reaching out to friends, checking area emergency rooms, checking local precincts and checking on the NYU locations where his ID had most recently been used for entry, among other efforts,'' Beckman said in an e-mail.
Someone reported finding Vongtau's shoes on the seventh floor of the dorm.
A security guard then discovered Vongtau's iPhone on the fire escape.
And "one of our public-safety sergeants, in the course of his search of the building extended his search to a narrow space between our building and an abutting garage, where he discovered someone wedged into the space and heard moaning,'' Beckman said.
"The FDNY and the NYPD were immediately called.''
Vontaugh's mother, Habiba, told reporters at Bellevue Hospital that her son suffered a broken pelvis and other shattered bones, including an arm, as well as bruises.
But "he's doing well. … He's in good spirits,'' she said.
Vongtau's dad, Lulufa Vongtau, tweeted from the family's native Nigeria on Monday:
Spoke to Asher, he's in good spirits.his mother and I are grateful to God for this gift! Thnx for ur prayers! It is well''
How Vongtau wound up in the gap was so mystifying to cops that two officers arrived at the scene Monday saying, "My boss couldn't figure it out, so he asked us to come here and figure it out.''
One Lafayette Street pal described Vongtau as "a very responsible person, more so than most college students."
Vongtau lives in another dorm, but "he's literally, four, five days out of the week, here … or we're out [there],'' the friend said.
He said Vongtau is studying pre-law in the Liberal Studies program.

Cannibal Ferox (30 servings)
the original formula was bad on the taste but they COMPLETELY fixed that. Everything else couldn't be better. I have tried pre workouts supps from No Xplode to 1RM. This is the best hands down. I am a 150 lb female powerlifter, been training for almost two years now. This has helped me get my Deadlift PR to well over 300 lbs (325 consistent PR as of recently). All my other lifts have gone up. I do warn you that this is STRONG stuff! If you were hoping for a mild cup of coffee type of thing this isn't it. If you want to murder the weights, this is the best. Nothing substitutes hard work but when you work a job and workout out a lot this certainly helps!
Good overall formula and product that contains 1g of Creatine, 300mg Caffeine Malate, Synephrine (which is rare in pre-workouts), PEA (nootropic), 5-HTP, Green Tea and Citrulline. I got a sample pack from the company to do a review and found that it made for a good session. the caffeine was a little on the high side for me but damn did this hit strong and stick with me quite some time (nootropics) that prolonged the focus effect and made for a very long affect into the post-workout window and even after i ate my meal driving home and cooking. So for someone who needs a very strong stimulant and nootropic combo this is something to look into with a touch of creatine.Anabolic Minds Site Rep
Just finished a legs and delts workout; powered by Ferox. I kept good pumps my entire workout. I was focused also.
This product has all of the good stims, caffeine, green teas extract, yohimbine, b-12 and on and on.
Overall taste was great and I had a great workout.
I was sent a sample to review.This is a very heavy stim product.What I liked most about this is the energy & focus I got from it. Ferox kicked in for me in about 15 minutes and no crash.Overall this is a very effective preworkout that gives you lasting energy and great focus.I will be definitely use Ferox again.
Could Cannibal Ferox make any bolder claims about it's effectiveness? Yes, yes it could. Everything said about this stuff is an understatement. No shakes, no headaches, just pure power. This stuff quite literally unleashes something inside of you that has a hunger for iron... because once it kicks in, you feel unstoppable. I am not exaggerating when I say this: Unless you are fully prepared to unleash a world of fury in the gym... don't even bother taking this. Absolutely incredible... this stuff is powdered insanity.
Overall nice PWO, a lot of ingredients. I was thrown off by the darkish yellow when it mixed, I was expecting more of an electric yellow, but it tasted fine and not too lemony or tart. Trained chest, got a very nice pump and felt strong today. I would use this again.
Cannibal Ferox is an overall great product. For me the taste was a little chemically, but that would be expected considering the amount of stimulants it's packing.
The product seemed to kick in at about 20 minutes. The energy was very strong and I felt like I could of kept on working out for much longer than the 75 minutes I had already worked out. Focus factor was dialed in really high as well. The great part was no crash.
I'll have to add that I had super fast shipping.
Great Job CNP!
I ran a single serving of ferox, fasted on a misc full body day. Taste was a bit off as in chemical/medicine but nothing that wasn't tolerable. The effectiveness was off the charts tho. I was able to set pr's in squats, rack pulls, db shoulder press, and db decline presses all in the same workout. Energy was great but not the "slap you in the face" or jittery kind. Cleanest, least "felt" energy I've ever had. I was at the gym for over an hr and a half and if I had been able to lift my arms my mind was ready for more. Definitely one of the best pres I've ever tried.
I use two scoops. Luminous Lemon Ice tastes like a box of Jujyfruits dissolved into a glass of vodka. It's grown on me, as I now associate the flavor with a good workout.
EDIT: Just opened up a tub of Watermelon War Machine - it's much more mellow. I might prefer it.
No pounding heart or jitters, no crawling skin, no flushing, but it definitely gets me hyped up to lift. About 45 minutes after dosing, it seems to fully kick in for a couple hours, allowing me to work harder and longer. I don't crash off it, but for a few hours, hand-eye coordination is dramatically increased. It doesn't keep me awake at night, either.
I don't get blinders or tunnel vision from this, but curiously, about 70-90 minutes after dosing, I'm infinitely more aware of the mirrors in the gym and everything going on around me. The weak hallucinatory feeling goes away in 5-10 minutes. I suppose that's what my brain does with a heavy dose of stimulants and nootropics.
It's the best pre-workout I've ever taken, and really gets me set to work hard and heavy, especially on the days that I'm feeling lackluster.
I am currently using the original flavor of Ferox (stocked up on it after testing it out), and have found it to be by far the most balanced and effective pre-workout I have ever used. I love the fact that CnP delivers on their promise of putting out a high quality product that doesn't hide behind proprietary blends, and I believe anyone who considers stacking a product will find this to be of a massive help when calculating total dosages. When taking Ferox I find that I am more focused, more motivated, and carry out my workout with more intensity than I have with any other pre-workout I have used (the list is very long, and I don't want to bash other products; however, this is simply superior). I do not experience jitters, light-headedness, rapid heart beat, or hyper - just focused, motivated, and confident to push through that final set. I have also found I this stacks extremely well with CnP's Swole AND Inferno. I take Swole at he he same time as Ferox, and take them similar to how one would take Goody's powder, and take Inferno twice daily at a dose of 3 pills. All in all, high quality product that I will not only continue to use but will actually recommend to others!
If I could sum up this products effectiveness in one sentence: when I start my workout on Ferox, I am ready to wage total f*cking war against every piece of equipment I encounter, through ever rep of every lift.

You ever wanted to punch a grizzly bear right the **** in the mouth but thought "Oh gee, I don't have balls that huge.". Try this **** and you'll want to punch two grizzlies in the throat at the same damn time. It still doesn't taste good, but it ain't as bad. Who gives a ****? Down it and go do some work. This **** is ridiculous.
Got a sample of this from a buddy of mine and its legit. If you want energy, this will do it. I'm not much on stims pre workout and generally stay away from that jittery feeling so I'm not sure how much I would use this product, but if you are into that, give it a go. You won't be disappointed. For me, a bit too much stim effect.
Ordered me a tub and am not disappointed.
I was shocked at how "smooth" the energy was. Way above a cup of coffee but no jitters. No crash either. If there was I would tell you.... I'm cutting and working as a lawyer.
This is not for the caffeine or stimulant sensitive. It's like a kick me up rather than a pick me up. I highly recommend it. Especially if you're stimulant sensitivity is high like mine.
The taste was okay. Pretty good considering what they have to mask. Lemon ice was the flavor. I can say it taste lemony but mixed with other fruit. Idk. May be my taste buds.
Taste: the original had some issues. It was barely palatable. In all honesty, the taste of supps is really irrelevant to me as long as I can choke it down. I could barely get the original down, but I had no problems with the new Watermelon Warmachine. It seems the taste issues have been resolved. This ain't kool-aid, though, this is for people who are serious.
Effect: As others have said, no jitters, no crash, but great energy that evenly tapers off. The nootropics are amazing. I have always enjoyed the calming effects of 5HTP, and its addition is probably why I haven't murdered anyone while on Ferox.
Summary: If you want to lift heavy ass weights, this is the PWO for you. If you want to kick ass at work, screw coffee take Ferox. Ferox can get you through any situation where you need energy, focus, and a positive mood.
A word of caution: know your limits. I can see why so many people have hit PRs on this product. You feel INVINCIBLE. You'll load up the bar and feel like there's not enough weight on it. You will want more plates. After recently stacking Ferox+Swole, I spent several days recovering from what I put myself through.
I was sent two flavors of this pre-workout to try:
Watermelon Warmachine and Luminous Lemon Ice.
This product gave me a decent amount of energy, and it has some quality ingredients in it. I am very stim tolerant, so this did not hit me as hard as it might some people. I liked the Lemon Ice flavor, MUCH more than the watermelon flavor. Both have a bit of a chemical aftertaste to them, but IMO the Watermelon one was a bit worse. I am also hit or miss when it comes to products containing Yohimbine as well, so there is that. I did notice a lot more sweat while using this product. I would recommend this for those a little less stim tolerant than I am.
Everyone who's lifted for a few years can probably rattle off a list of at least 20 different preworkouts they've tried. The shorter list are the pre's they keep buying on a regular basis. My gold standard pre is MAN Sports Gameday; it's got Dendrobium, GPLC PF3 and it's the best fruit punch flavor out there. Cannibal Ferox stacks up pretty closely as far as Gameday goes. It takes a little while for the stims to kick in, but when they do it's a fairly smooth onset with a good focus component. I took the sample about 45 mins before my arm and lower back routine and had plenty of energy to finish out with a good lower abs session.
As far as taste goes Cannibal Ferox has a great Watermelon flavor! That being said, I'm not much of a watermelon fan and wouldn't pick it myself. The mixability is great and it doesn't appear to be heavily dyed which is a definite plus for people who are concerned about that. As far as stim based pre's go Cannibal Ferox has some great ingredients: Dendrobium, Synephrine, PEA, Higenamine, Hordenine, and Yohimbine. My conclusion is that it's pretty good, and I might pick up a tub at some point.
P.S. Cannibal Ferox's hook is that they're trying to create the most powerful preworkout ever because the movie that the name is based on is the "most violent" movie ever.
Taste is OK, can't really say that it is delicious but I can drink it without any problems. That's not the case with most PWO's - I have puked several times after drinking bad ones.
In the action it was great. Maybe the best preworkout I've ever tried. I started to feel stims kicking in about 10 minutes after taking it... Here's what I did in the gym:
- Squat
2 sets of 3 @ 220lbs
2 sets of 3 @ 260lbs
4 sets of 2 @ 295lbs
- Paused leg press
5 sets of 5 @ 330lbs
410lbs is my all time personal best in squats and today I lifted it after being sick for 5 days. I lost almost 10lbs during those days and weighted less than 180lbs today.
I barely needed to rest between sets, my heart rate was up and I was sweating a lot. Felt like a terminator.
I received my sample in 2 days,so props for speedy delivery. The flavor i got was watermelon. It smells great and mixes up very easy. I used 12 oz of water in my shaker cup. The taste to me was the only drawback. It had a bitter medicine bite to it,but i have tasted worse. It def has stims in it. About 10 min and i was ready to go. It wasnt a shakey effect,just focused and alert. I didnt really notice a mental high but i felt good lifting for over an hour, with no crash after. If the taste was better i would have scored it higher. It is def worth having in the stash. Thanks guys for the sample.
First, this had the weirdest aftertaste I have ever experienced, almost like licking a steel pole. Anyway, I had a pretty good workout. I had pretty good focus, but energy was lacking. Perhaps it was because it was leg day. Overall a decent product.
Alright most know I'm a stim freak and this stuff def is wicked. I received some today in mail and hit first scoop them hit chest up. Taste is good and mixes easy! It hits very quick and while I was in the gym several friends kept asking wth are you on. Lot of pwo's have tanked since ban of geranium. All I can say is for me I've found a replacement.OG Avenger-HULK SMASHING TIME!
Got a sample of this stuff courtesy of the cnp reps on am. It packs a pretty solid punch in the energy and focus departments. My only complaints are that it was really lacking in a good consistent pump. Stack this with something like hemavol and it would be the stim junky's dream come true
I wouldn't say Im a stim junkie. But I like my stims from time to time. If I need a little boost before hitting the gym, I'll drop ephedra+200mg caffine and an espresso on the way in...but thats usually no more then 1 a week.
Looking at the profile. I knew this stuff would be intense. The White Widow extract is a hell of an idea.
Taste is ok, better then I thought it was going to be. But you know what your drinking.
About 20min later I was wired and extremely alert. Now I know the reason behind the zombie label. Its a warning! !! You better be prepaired. I never smoked crack but, this might be similar.
Lol... nah its really stong and great PWO for focus. Half a scoop would probably make a great study aid.
Definitely not for the light hearted. There is a reason why ingredients in this powder are banned in 3 countries.
-10/10- focus, drive, motivation, endurance.
-2/10- got no extra pump from it. But I dont think it was the goal with this mix
-5/10- taste its about what you would expect.
-9/10- Overall, great energy that lasts longer then other pre's. Felt slightly burned out 4hrs later.
I received a sample of the Lemon flavor, speedy delivery which was great. Taste was less to be desired but as long as it works, who cares that it tastes almost like a lemon flavored zombie. I am a stim junkie for sure but this stuff kicked my ass, and I got a little sick, probably the Yohimbie. When I try it again, I will go for 3/4 of a serving. Overall, I enjoyed the sample and would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a stim loaded PWO!
Received a sample of Cannibal Ferox and tried it out today and trained back.
Only took 3/4 of the sample as it seems this is what others are going with.
Mix ability 5/5
Mixed up perfect with just a couple of shakes
Taste 4/5
I'm not a huge fan of lemon and other lemon products would get a lower rating but this flavor wasn't bad at all!!
Energy 5/5
Within 15 minutes or so my mind and muscles were amped and ready to train. Very smooth energy for a strong stim. No shakiness at all. Big selling point for me.
Focus 5/5
Focus was very good. I knew what I needed to do and had no problem with the mind muscle connection.
Overall 4.5/5
Would've been 5/5 if it was a different flavor but either way I was very impressed with it!!Life's a garden, dig it

Compaq has released its first palm-size PC -- the Aero 2130 - featuring a reflective colour TFT screen, and based on the Windows CE operating system.
Compaq is aiming the Aero 2130 ($1175 RRP) at professionals who need mobile access to their contacts and scheduling information.
The Aero 2130 comes with 16MB of memory (upgradable with 24MB expansion modules). While the unit's screen displays 256 colours at 240 x 320 pixels, and offers a viewable area 44 per cent larger than that of 3Com's Palm III, says Compaq. And because it is reflective TFT, viewing the screen is as easy outdoors as indoors, claims Compaq.
Synchronisation between the Aero 2130 and a Windows-based PC is seamless, according to the company, which also claims that the unit's rechargable Lithium-ion batteries can provide up to 10 hours of continuous use.
A docking cradle and application software are also bundled with the Aero 2130 package.

Treatment Protocol for Sprained Ankles
By Thomas Michaud, DC
In the U.S. alone, 23,000 people sprain their ankle each day, resulting in 1.6 million doctor office visits annually.1 The direct and indirect costs (e.g., lost days from work) associated with treating ankle sprains exceed $1.1 billion annually.2 To make matters worse, these numbers do not take into account the long-term disability often associated with ankle sprains. In a 10-year follow-up of patients suffering ankle sprains, 72 percent showed signs of arthritis in the ankle joint.3
Given the serious long-term consequences associated with ankle sprains, it is important to identify which individuals are prone to injury. Although numerous factors have been proven to correlate with the development of ankle sprains (such as high arches, impaired balance, tight calves, and decreased cardiovascular fitness), by far, the best predictors of future ankle sprain are prior ankle sprain and being overweight. In fact, overweight athletes with a prior history of ankle sprain are 19 times more likely to suffer another ankle sprain.4 Because force centered on the ankle can exceed seven times body weight, even a few extra pounds will greatly increase your potential for ankle sprain.
Conversely, previous ankle sprain can result in impaired coordination and calf tightness that can increase your potential for reinjury. In a three-dimensional study of motion in the foot and ankle while walking, individuals with a prior history of ankle sprain had reduced ground clearance during swing phase in the foot was tilted in excessively when it hit the ground.5
Despite the strong connection between prior sprain and future sprain, there is a counterintuitive inverse relationship between the severity of ligament damage and the potential for reinjury. In a two-year follow-up of 202 elite runners presenting with inversion ankle sprains, researchers determined that patients with the worst ligament tears rarely suffered reinjury (reinjury rates in this group were 0-5 percent), while individuals with less severe ankle sprains suffered significantly higher rates of re-sprain (18 percent of patients with moderate sprains were reinjured during this two-year period).6
This explains previous research confirming that patients with completely torn ankle ligaments treated with surgical reconstruction had worse short and long-term outcomes than individuals who refused surgical intervention,7 and emphasizes the importance of aggressively treating even the most minor ankle sprain. It also makes it clear that runners with severe ankle ligament injuries should avoid surgery.
Regardless of the degree of ligament damage, the goal of treating an ankle sprain is to restore strength, flexibility, proprioception, and endurance as quickly as possible during the first few days following injury. Adding an elastic bandage to a standard air cast has been proven to reduce the length of time to full recovery by 50 percent.8 The table below outlines a popular treatment protocol for managing ankle sprains, while the figure above illustrates an effective tubing exercise that can be performed once symptoms of the acute sprain are reduced.
Phase 1: Patient unable to bear weight
Phase 2: Patient can walk with minimal discomfort; sprained ankle has 90 percent full range of motion
Phase 3: Patient can hop on involved ankle without pain
Besides the standard exercise routines, it is also important that problems with balance be addressed. The simple addition of an inexpensive foam balance pad can significantly lessen the risk of injury. In one study, there was a 77 percent decrease in the rate of reinjury when overweight athletes with a prior history of ankle sprain performed balance training on a foam stability pad for five minutes on each leg for four weeks.9 Another study from the Netherlands10 found that individuals treated with balance-board exercises reduced their subsequent reinjury rates by 47 percent.
Because foam pads and balance boards do not put your foot through a full range of motion, I recommend a rock board that forces your foot to tilt in more than it tilts out (which is how your ankle is designed to move). The board places your foot in the position of a future sprain and then forces you to use your muscles to pull yourself out of the risky position. At first, perform this exercise while seated; after a few days, it can be done while standing.
The improvements in proprioception associated with balance-board training can be enhanced by skin taping. As demonstrated by Matsusaka. et al.,11 placing a single strip of adhesive tape along the lateral leg and heel while performing balance-board training produces more rapid improvements in postural sway (i.e., taped subjects returned to baseline values of postural sway with six weeks of training, compared to eight weeks with balance board training alone).
It is also interesting that balance-board training on one limb will produce significant improvements in balance on the contralateral, untrained limb.12 The proprioceptive cross-training effect allows the injured individual to train the opposite, uninjured leg to enhance proprioception in the injured leg, even if the injured leg is cast-immobilized.
Perhaps the best way to restore proprioception is with manipulation of the calcaneocuboid and talocrural joints. The importance of incorporating manipulation into a protocol for managing ankle inversion sprain is supported with research by Lopez-Rodriguez, et al.,13 in which manipulation resulted in an improved progression of forces throughout the foot during stance phase. In performing a placebo-controlled study of 52 athletes presenting with grade 2 ankle sprains, these authors determined that ankle adjustments produced a clinically significant redistribution of load throughout the foot, as measured with stabilometric and baropodometric techniques.
In addition to decreased proprioception from ligament and nerve damage following sprain, altered proprioception may also be the result of a damaged retinaculum. In an interesting MRI study of ankle sprains, Stecco, et al.,14 determined that the ankle retinaculum is injured in more than 80 percent of ankle sprains, and that the damaged retinaculum may be responsible for lessened proprioception. The authors demonstrated that manual intervention in the form of fascial release resulted in long-term reductions in pain and improved balance, as measured on stabilometric platforms.

Twins Play 1st Spring Training Game
The Minnesota Twins could not be more excited to play a spring training game in February.
Survivors of a trying offseason in which baseball owners attempted to eliminate them, the Twins wound up playing the first major league spring training game of the year Wednesday.
They scored two runs in their first at-bat and beat the Cincinnati Reds 13-0 in Fort Myers, Fla.
"It was a good feeling," new Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I doubted that I'd be very emotional, but heading into the game I could feel the butterflies a little bit. It was exciting. A long time coming with all that stuff we went through."
Kurt Abbott hit a two-run homer, Todd Sears drove in three runs with two hits and Brad Radke started with two perfect innings as everything seemed to go right for the Twins.
Even their first-round draft pick, 18-year-old catcher Joe Mauer, ripped a single up the middle in his first spring at-bat in the eighth.
"It was nice to get up there and see some pitching," Mauer said. "It was a fun game."
Minnesota pounded 20 hits against the Reds, who left nearly all of their regulars at their camp in Sarasota. Ken Griffey Jr. missed the Reds' workout because of a viral infection in his stomach and will be out a couple days.
"It turned out to be a pretty good day," Gardenhire said. "We have something to prove, and not because of contraction. We finished in second place last year, and people doubt that we can do better. These players are on a mission to prove they can play, that last year wasn't a fluke."
Montreal second baseman Jose Vidro led the Expos with a .319 batting average last season, yet he still thinks he has something to prove, too.
"I was disappointed with last year," Vidro said. "I want to be in the lineup every day and last season brought back bad memories of 1998 and 1997 when I was on the bench a lot," he said.
He hit just 15 homers in 486 at-bats _ down from 24 in 2000 _ in a season interrupted by injuries. In August he was hit in the head by a pitch, which gave him a mild concussion.
"The injury that really pushed me back was the one when I got hit on the head," said Vidro, who also missed time with a sore left elbow. "I was really scared when I came back because I had bad memories of the incident. I was so afraid. I didn't know what would happen if I got head on the head again, "he added.
"The fear is all gone right now," he assured. "I'm thinking about playing 162 games and I think I can hit 30 home runs.'"
The San Diego Padres are shuffling two All-Stars in order to accommodate a rookie.
In order to let Sean Burroughs play third base, Phil Nevin has moved across the infield to first base and fellow All-Star Ryan Klesko has been bumped to right field.
"He's impressive," Nevin said. "You can tell just from the way he goes about his business. He's not in awe of anything out here. He grew up around it, but it seems like he wouldn't be bothered, anyway. He carries himself with confidence, and he goes about his stuff the right way."
In other games, it was San Diego 3, Anaheim 2; Pittsburgh 13, Manatee Community College 7; and Detroit 5, Florida Southern 4.
Elsewhere, David Wells, coming off a season cut short by back surgery, is progressing ahead of schedule.
The New York Yankees left-hander reported no problems after a bullpen session in Tampa, Fla., and remains on target to make his first game appearance since July on Monday.
"If something happens, it happens," Wells said. "Every day is a better day. I don't anticipate anything happening because I'm feeling good."
Veteran left-hander Kent Mercker took the mound for the first time since last spring. He was the last cut by the Boston Red Sox a year ago and did not play in the 2001 season.
Mercker pitched the first inning of the intrasquad game for the Visitors. He allowed a one-out double to Brent Butler and a walk to Todd Zeile but escaped unscathed.
"I threw all right," he said. "It's been a year since I've actually seen a live hitter, but it felt good. I gave up a hit but left him out there. Right now, how I feel physically is the main thing, and I feel great."
Indians right-hander Jake Westbrook had arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow at Lutheran Medical Center in Cleveland.
Westbrook, expected to battle for the fifth spot in the Indians' starting rotation, was operated on Tuesday.
"From what I heard, everything went just fine," manager Charlie Manuel said. "Hopefully, he should be throwing again sometime in mid-May, but it will be around the first of June before he is ready to help us."
The 24-year-old reported soreness in his right elbow after one day of throwing last week. He will return to spring training next week to begin a rehabilitation program. He is expected to begin throwing in six weeks.
Padres 3, Angels 2
At Tempe, Ariz., Kevin Eberwin went 3-for-3 for San Diego. Matt Wise, trying to earn a spot in Anaheim's rotation, allowed one run and four hits in two innings.
Tigers 5, Florida Southern 4
At Lakeland, Fla., Randall Simon and Ryan Jackson homered as Detroit opened the exhibition season. It was 49 degrees at the start of the game, and dropped to 43 by the final pitch.
Pirates 13, Manatee Community College 7
At Bradenton, Fla., Craig Wilson and Tony Alvarez hit back-to-back home runs and Rob Mackowiak also homered for Pittsburgh.

|I worked on this for so long... I will guard it with my life.
Hey guys! So, as promised I've made my first tutorial. I decided to paint up a Necron Lychguard as I personally believe that it's an awesome model, but also because it has some fine detail that needs attending to. Just a side note, the pictures included in the tutorial aren't the best of quality, but hopefully they will be good enough to give an idea of what I'm actually doing. Also, all the paints used are from the Citadel range. With that being said, lets begin!
NOTE: Where it says "watered down", I really only put a small drop of water in. Don't water it down too much.
First up, I decided which position I would like my Lychguard to be in, so I played around with it for a little while until I found a position that appealed to me. I also added a brass grate from the 40k basing set, just for good measure.
Next I under coated my model with Chaos Black Spray.
Then, using Leadbelcher I applied a heavy dry brush to all areas I wanted to be metallic metal, this was then followed up with a lighter dry brush of Ironbreaker. To create an underlying tone of rust, I applied a wash of watered down Null Oil about a 1:1 ratio. Once dry, I applied a watered down wash of Agrax Earthshade, again about a 1:1 ratio.
Now, with the initial base coating out of the way, it's time to move onto the highlighting! I then reached for Ironbreaker again and applied a light dry brush over the metallic areas. (Be cautious not to apply too much Ironbreaker, as you may spoil the 'rusty' effect. Start slowly and lightly to avoid any mishaps.)
Next, I went for Runefang Steel and with a finer brush applied generous highlights to areas where the light would hit the most. Mainly being the corners and edges.
With the main part of the body all done, it was time to move onto painting the gold. I started with a base coat of slightly watered down Hashut Copper. This was followed by a layer of Gehenna's Gold.
I then applied a wash of Agrax Earthshade over the whole gold area. Once dry, I applied another coat of Gehenna's Gold, but made sure to leave the wash in the recesses. To finish it off, I sparingly highlighted the edges with a 1:1 mix of Gehenna's Gold and Runefang Steel.
With the gold also out of the way, I decided to start work on the Dispersion Shield. The metal and gold were painted in the same way as mentioned above. Because the undercoat of Chaos Black was a reasonably smooth coat, I decided to leave it and not bother painting a layer of black over it. I then moved on to painting the green lighting effects on the edges of the shield.
This was done using a watered down layer of Warpstone Glow nearly all the way around the edges. To make it look a little more effective, I applied a watered down layer of Moot Green on some of the edges. The ovals between the metal were painted again using Warpstone Glow and Moot Green and were also applied in the same order. I even added a touch of White Scar to the Moot Green, just to make it stand out a little more.
Now, moving onto the sword: this was a little bit tricky. The gold was painted in the same manner as mentioned before. Again, leaving the black from the undercoat I went straight to painting the green power effects on the blade. Using a watered down Moot Green, apply irregular shapes onto the blade focusing more towards the edges. Then, using Warpstone Glow, apply a layer on the outskirts of the irregular shapes. This will be your base coat to work with when you start to blend the paint together.
To achieve this blending effect, I used a very watered down Moot Green and applied numerous layers, each time trying to create a smooth transition between the two colours. (It is important to note, not to rush this process or else you risk ruining the effect. Wait for each layer to dry until applying the next. It may take a while, but the overall effect will be well worth it!) For extreme highlights, I used a 1:2 mix of Moot Green and White Scar which was applied on the very edges of the blade to finish it off nicely.
The green light effects on the rod and in the grooves of the blade were painted using Warpstone Glow followed by Moot Green, both of which were watered down.
Last but not least, the Lychguard's head! Unfortunately I could not get any close up shots of the head as they always came up blurry! But it is still visible in the full body shots I took. So I decided to paint the main part of the head first and leave the gold decoration until last. The white was first painted using a base coat of Ceramite White, I then used White Scar with a tiny drop of Fenrisian Grey and watered it down. I did two layers of this mixture to make it nice and smooth. I then highlighted the edges of the face with pure White Scar. The gold was again painted in the same manner as mentioned above.
The eyes were painted starting with a layer of Warpstone Green. This was followed by Moot Green, and then mix of Moot Green and White Scar that was applied directly onto the centre of the eye. To create a glowing effect, a very watered down Moot Green was used as a glaze just under the eye.
|Final Product
|Ready to stomp Zero.
To finalise the Lychguard I picked out his chest glyph and orb using Moot Green. I then based the model to give it some extra detail. So there you have it! One Lychguard armed and ready for battle. I hope this tutorial was of some use to you and please, if you have any comments or questions do not hesitate! Thanks.

Right- and left-plaited stitches
According to wikipedia, when creating right- and left-plaited stitches, both knit and purl stitches may be twisted: usually once if at all, but sometimes twice and (very rarely) thrice. When seen from above, the twist can be clockwise (right yarn over left) or counterclockwise (left yarn over right); these are denoted as right- and left-plaited stitches, respectively. Hand-knitters generally produce right-plaited stitches by knitting or purling through the back loops, i.e., passing the needle through the initial stitch in an unusual way, but wrapping the yarn as usual. By contrast, the left-plaited stitch is generally formed by hand-knitters by wrapping the yarn in the opposite way, rather than by any change in the needle. Although they are mirror images in form, right- and left-plaited stitches are functionally equivalent. Both types of plaited stitches gives a subtle but interesting visual texture, and tend to draw the fabric inwards, making it stiffer. Plaited stitches are a common method for knitting jewelry from fine metal wire.
