Custom Woodworking recently had the opportunity to provide millwork for a local attorney firm's office build out. As a vendor in this project, Custom Woodworking collaborated with the general contractor and architect, as well as the tenant, to uphold the traditional, yet impressive aesthetic of the office. This particular tenant has clients visiting on a daily basis and therefore needs a space that is professional and welcoming but not overstated. To achieve this desired look, Custom Woodworking created custom wall panels.
As seen in the picture above, the reception area features floor-to-ceiling wood panels in a rich cherry finish. The wood used by Custom Woodworking is a superior species of Alder and compliments the luxurious look of the marble floors. Additionally, Custom Woodworking created a unique frame for the firm's signage. The basic wall coloring and minimal décor of the entryway let the millwork shine for itself.
Shown in the picture below, the hallway features floor and crown moulding in the same cherry finished alder. Meanwhile the wood paneling is installed half way up the wall, similar to how a judge's panel would be. This installation carries on the traditional look, while not being overstated in the common areas.
Custom Woodworking can act as vendor for millwork, as in this project, or as the general contractor for a commercial project. Contact Custom Woodworking today to start designing your impressive office space.

UPDATE ( 5:10 PST) -- The Raiders have officially named Greg Olson as their new offensive coordinator to replace the fired Greg Knapp, head coach Dennis Allen announced Saturday
ESPN and the Contra Costa Times reported late Friday night that Olson had already been tabbed as the possible replacement.
Olson, who turns 50 on March 1, worked last season as Jacksonville's assistant head coach/quarterbacks coach. The Jaguars, who finished 2-14, had the No. 29-ranked total offense in 2012, the No. 21-ranked passing attack with Chad Henne (72.2 passer rating) and Blaine Gabbert (77.4) under center.
The Raiders, meanwhile, had the No. 8-ranked passing attack in 2012, with Carson Palmer becoming the second Raiders quarterback in franchise history to pass for more than 4,000 yards.
But Oakland's run game suffered under Knapp and his zone-blocking scheme-predicated West Coast Offense, finishing No. 28 in the 32-team NFL, with Darren McFadden averaging a career-low 3.3 yards per carry in 12 games. And that is presumably where Olson will address the issues at hand, especially with Frank Pollack also fired as Oakland's offensive line coach.
Olson is known primarily as a power-scheme guy, and that would seemingly fit better with the Raiders' current personnel.
"I'm not an offensive guru, but I do know when Darren is running certain plays, it's pretty doggone good," Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie told reporters this week. "But when you talk about a scheme, he's not a lateral mover. He's not one of those guys. As soon as he can go north and south, that's when he's at his best."
Olson has been an offensive coordinator for six years in the NFL, with his most recent stint in Tampa Bay from 2009 through 2011. The Buccaneers total offense ranked 28th, 19th and 21st his three years there, with the passing offense 24th, 17th and 16th. The rushing offense was 23rd, eighth and 30th. Still, Olson is credited with helping in the development of Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman.
Olson has also been an O.C. in Detroit, in 2005, when the Lions had the No. 27 total offense, and in St. Louis, in 2006 and 2007. In fact, his Rams offense in '06 ranked sixth overall and running back Steven Jackson rushed for 1,528 yards and 13 touchdowns while catching 90 passes for 806 yards and three TDs.
The Rams, though, fell to No. 24 overall in total offense in 2007, before Olson joined Jon Gruden's staff in Tampa Bay in 2008 as the Bucs' QB coach.
Olson has also been a QB coach for Jeff Garcia (49ers in 2001) and Drew Brees (Purdue).
In their search for a new O.C., the Raiders also talked with the likes of Norv Turner, Marc Trestman and, reportedly, Mike Martz.
The Raiders still have coaching vacancies at offensive line and linebackers.

Tips, tricks, or theories? How do you get back to you normal lovable self?
Tips, tricks, or theories? How do you get back to you normal lovable self?
For me it always depends on the kind of stress. If its to do with work then a long session in the gym is the sole rememdy - i tire myself out in the gym and by the time i'm finished i'm exhausted - drop into the jacuzzi before heading home and all work stress leaves my head until i get back in the office in the morning.
More personal kinds of stress is more difficult to shake off in the gym because my mind tends to come back to what's going on in my head...actually the only things that does help - skating! Skating is the only thing i think about when i'm skating (unless i've just fallen in which case its the pain!) and it really really works to get my mind off things.
Last edited by antmanb; 08-03-2006 at 06:07 AM.
take a walk around the neighborhood, listen to my favorite music, watch my favorite skating videos/DVDs, bike riding ...
Omega 3 oils, natural is best but a good brand of supplment will do. another interesting suplement is Cordyceps' I'm a nutrition nut.
Retail therapy... the one thing that cures all!
Yoga, taking a walk before going to bed, reading a lot; on a weekend, drive over to the beach for at least an hour. Spend time with my parents (yes, I know, for many people that would just add to stress, but for this 30 y.o., this is a great stress reliever) & their cat (cats a amazing shrinks!).
One of my health providers had me buy some kind of relaxation tape. What a waste of money. Drove me up a wall. I just put some of my skating tapes on and that helps more than anything.
Grgranny, DEFINITELY!
For me, anything that keeps my hands busy is the best stress reliever. That could be making some kind of intricate jewelry or planting flowers or rearranging the furniture or doing woodwork. It's got to be some activity that keeps my attention focused on what my hands are doing as opposed to a benign activity like mowing the yard. Under some situations reading an intense novel works too.
Prayer... lots and lots of prayer...
I don't know - I now have an ulcer, I guess I don't cope very well! No just kidding, my ulcer is a result of taking too many painkillers.Originally Posted by SeaniBu
I play my piano, read, draw, go for walks, swim - in another life my first answer would be grab my skates and head for an ice rink!!!!! Skate away my problems - that is what I used to do.
As the great Joni Mithcell sings:
" I wish I had a river I could skate away on...."
Well, if we're going there, then I highly recommend to any Jewish posters the mikvah (a ritual immersion) - I do it once a month (the niddah), and I always come out a new woman after that.Originally Posted by Tonichelle
I agree Toni, when I am totally and I mean totally stressed out, I do some visualization. I think of myself as a little girl and see Jesus with outstretched arms pointed at me and I climb onto his lap and he hugs and holds me really tight. It works for me.Originally Posted by Tonichelle
Other than that I handle stress pretty well. I had to learn quickly due to taking care of my 86 year old mom a few nights a week. She can test my patience to the limit which used to cause me lots of stress.
I try to avoid stress by "picking my battles" there are lots of things that just aren't worth stressing over. If I have done all that I can possibly do that is within my power I then leave it up to God and what happens happens.
Yacking with God while lying in bed. And skating. I have an anxiety disorder and it really helps distract me.

If it's just normal stress, excercise and quiet time. However, if it's angry stress (which has only happened twice), I find myself yelling and slamming doors in the privacy of my own home. Twice, I had to leave work in the middle of the day because I was so stressed out that I had to get away from everyone who was causing the problems. The 1st time, i just went out and walked around the building for an hour before going back in and then I asked everyone to just leave me alone - I needed to feel like I had control of what I had to do and just wanted to get it done without being interuppted or sidetracked. Another time, i could just feel the aggravation building and sat and finished what I felt needed to be done and left work a little early. Fortunately, this does not happen often and I had already earned the respect of my management and peers - I had a reputation that allowed them to see that this was an infrequent exception and they could also understand why I was under stress, too.

Wedding Disasters
Talk About for Better or Worse. These Couples Didn't Let Rain, Fire or a Sprained Ankle Ruin Their Big Day
As Sarah and Ian Kellogg posed for pictures after their Sept. 9, 2006, wedding, the sun was shining almost too brightly. "The photographer said, 'I wish a cloud would come up,'" recalls Sarah. If ever there was a time to be careful what you wish for, this was it. "A half hour later we had this huge storm," says Sarah. "It was literally like a wall of water." That's when the power went out at the Pine Island, N.H., lake house where the reception was being held. That meant no stove, no lights and no working toilets. Still, the bride and groom managed to improvise. "The caterer used a gas grill and scattered our candle centerpieces around the room," says Sarah, 25. "We danced our first dance to music from a boom box." When the lights came back on as the party was winding down, no one even cared, says Ian, 26. "Everybody said it was the most memorable and intimate wedding they'd ever been to. We didn't miss out on anything."
When Meghan McCoy asked her brother to carry her down the aisle for her July 29, 2006, wedding in Portsmouth, N.H., "everyone thought it was just me being quirky," recalls the bride, now 26. Few knew that just before entering the church, McCoy had taken a tumble in her 3 1/2 inch heels, severely spraining her ankle and tearing several ligaments. "She had this really emotional look on her face," says the groom, Lauren Cote, 30. "At the time I thought she was just worked up about marrying me, and here she was in excruciating pain." McCoy put on a brave face until she heard, "You may kiss the bride." Then it was straight to the emergency room, where doctors gave her special, speedy treatment. Guests meandered around the reception hall until the newlyweds returned from the hospital an hour later. To everyone's surprise, McCoy was still in the mood to party and hobbled through the first dance with the aid of her new crutches. "I thought, 'This is the only wedding I'm going to have, so I might as well just laugh about it,'" she says. "The great thing is that no one could complain about anything at the wedding when the bride was on crutches. And everyone came to visit us, so we actually got to eat food at the reception. It ended up being a great day."
On April 15 Keisha Jackson was making the final preparations for her wedding the next day. But when a massive storm blew in and flooded parts of her town of Bound Brook, N.J., it was clear Mother Nature had other plans. "The water started to rise two blocks away," says Jackson, 29, who escaped to a nearby Presbyterian church with fiancé Jonathan Denman and her two sons. "The kids were scared, but we had to leave straightaway with a bag and nothing else." The next day, as she and Denman, 24, sat in the church lamenting their canceled nuptials, the minister overheard them and said, "I can marry you." Although they'd left their rings in the apartment, Keisha had stashed her marriage license in her purse. They exchanged vows in the church office. "All we had was what we were wearing: T-shirts, jeans and sneakers. But it really didn't matter," says Keisha. "Everyone had their lives—that was the important thing."
Despite raindrops and gusting winds, Valerie Langley's Oct. 27 ceremony on the beach in Clearwater, Fla., was the wedding of her dreams. Her reception at a local hotel, however, had all the makings of a nightmare. "As soon as we rolled up, we saw smoke billowing from the hotel," she says. "Flames were coming right off the building." Langley, 25, and her new husband, Craig Eissler, 24, were greeted by the sight of a dozen fire trucks and hordes of guests milling around in the streets. "I thought, 'We're really not going to have a reception,'" she says. "My heart was sinking." But a quick-thinking pal helped the couple kick off the festivities outside. "A friend brought a guitar and started singing and playing right in front of the hotel," she says. "We sang 'Disco Inferno.'" An hour later, with the fire out and damage confined to another part of the hotel, the newlyweds and their 120 guests continued the party inside the ballroom. "We are happily, happily married," says Langley. "That's the only thing that matters to me."
Four days before their wedding, Ron Stevenson and Huntleigh Thompson found out their reception at a Florida yacht club would be competing against a Grand Prix car race next door. "At first I was freaking out," says Thompson. "I worked nearby, so I know that it gets quite loud—but we spent all this money to have the wedding on this day, so we were kind of stuck with it." Although the juxtaposition of events was odd, the engines' roaring ultimately didn't kill the ambience. "The reception was on the second floor, and with the deejay, I think that helped us out," says Thompson. Another bonus: "The race car drivers saw us taking pictures in front of the yacht club, and they were like, 'Do you want to come in?' They let us walk onto the track. It was really cool." Still, Thompson's not quite ready for a victory lap. "Everyone's saying we have to go to the Grand Prix for the first anniversary," she says. "I'm like, 'Slow down!' I'm not sure if I'd want to do that so soon!"
After their October 2006 wedding, Melody Hansen and her husband, Nat, planned for a relaxing southwest-style honeymoon, including a road trip, camping and a short stay at a quaint motel in Desert Hot Springs, Calif. It didn't work out that way. On the third day of their trip, the pair returned to their motel to find their room ransacked and both their suitcases missing. Along with their clothing for the rest of the trip, thieves took priceless keepsakes from their courtship and wedding—including Melody's unique orange wedding dress, years' worth of love letters and their biggest loss: two hand-carved and painted wooden wedding-cake toppers meticulously made in their image by Nat's father. "They were in this little velvet box that said, 'Do not open,'" says Melody, 29. "I ran outside into the desert and started yelling, 'Bring back those cake toppers if you have any decency!'" Over the next few days the couple searched area pawnshops and garbage bins, but ultimately gave up on finding their stuff. Still, they looked for the silver lining. Their sad adventure "felt very cool and newlywed," says Nat, 29. "It was like, 'You and I are in this together, and we'll deal with this ourselves.'

Pain-Psychological and Psychiatric Aspects. By H. Mersky, MA, DM, DPM, and F. G. Spear, MD, DPM. Price, $8.50. Pp 223. Williams and Wilkins, 428 E Preston St, Baltimore 21202, 1967.
Psychologist Richard Sternbach has written a short monograph with a threefold Purpose: (1) to review recent research literature on pain; (2) to introduce the reader to "linguistic parallelism," ie, an orientation which permits multiple different but parallel descriptions of a phenomenon to be considered of equal validity; and (3), to illustrate how certain concepts appear in different form in several of the languages we use in describing pain. In my opinion, he has achieved his goal.
According to the author, pain is a single construct which refers to private experience ("a hurt that we feel"), a stimulus which causes tissue damage or carries the threat of doing so, and an observable series of responses

Rumors of Lindsey Graham's political demise have been, to paraphrase Mark Twain, greatly exaggerated.
The esteemed political scientist Larry Sabato last week said Graham is perhaps the Republican U.S. senator most ripe for a primary upset. That's not the first time someone's said that. Hard-core conservatives — egged on by talk show hosts — have hated Graham for years. They claim he's not conservative, he talks to Democrats, he — gasp — supports amnesty for illegal immigrants.
Now Nancy Mace is making the rounds with conservative media, and folks see shades of Nikki Haley.
Sorry, but this isn't 2010. And Graham is not as unpopular as these people think.
"There's always a lot of people talking about kicking him out of office," says Neal Thigpen, a veteran South Carolina political scientist. "I still put my money on him."
Going skating?
In 2008, everybody said Graham was in trouble.
He wasn't.
Yes, that was before the tea party — the group credited with upending the state's good ol' boy system and electing Haley governor. But the tea party isn't what it used to be.
In May, a coalition of conservatives tried to hijack the state's GOP convention. They wanted a chairman who would boot Graham from the party, abolish primaries and let delegates choose party nominees.
They failed miserably. That's because, as establishment Republicans like to say, these Liberty Caucus and tea party types are a very vocal minority — with an emphasis on minority. They are unreasonable and enjoy getting their hate on against anyone who disagrees on even the smallest point.
"If that's all Lindsey Graham has to worry about, he'll skate," says Chad Connelly, a former state GOP chairman.
Need proof? Last week, a statewide agri-business group commissioned a poll to gauge the state's political landscape. In a poll of 400 likely Republican primary voters, Graham had a 62 percent approval rating; 55 percent said they would vote to re-elect him no matter who else ran.
The more interesting question, though, asked voters if they'd rather have someone who stuck to party principles or was willing to work across the aisle. More than 77 percent said they want someone who can play well with others.
Like Graham.
These are folks who probably remember when politicians could have philosophical differences but still manage to occasionally do something.
And Graham is old school.
No reruns
In the 2014 U.S. senate race, Mace is not likely to have the same perfect storm of luck that Haley did in her gubernatorial bid.
Haley faced no incumbent, and her challengers were an old-time establishment candidate, a congressman who had raised the ire of the tea party and Lt. Gov. Speed Racer.
Thanks to the Sanfords, Haley started with a decent war chest. And thanks to some nice donor, Haley got an endorsement from Sarah Palin when it meant something.
Mace is definitely flavor-of-the-week. But in the coming days she will be quizzed about her connection to the website that made all those nasty claims about Haley in 2010.
It also didn't help that her campaign put out a nasty tweet about Graham last week. That sort of innuendo didn't work when Democratic guru Dick Harpootlian tried it, and it won't work now.
Graham is one of the most high-profile politicians in Washington, and he's no pushover. He says what he thinks, and has not been afraid to face down critics from his own party.
Of course, Graham is not invincible. And nutty things happen in South Carolina politics. See Greene, Alvin.
But there is this, too: Graham has broad appeal — which means that unless the Democrats come up with two good candidates for a race (and they can rarely recruit one), a lot of them will cross over and vote with reasonable Republicans for Graham.
And that explains why the tea party tried to change GOP nominating rules in May.
Their best chance to get rid of Graham was by taking the voters out of the equation.

Law, Business, and Technology
The future of lawyering is one in which clients will expect their counselors to be fully conversant with modern business practices and also with the essentials of technology and its connection to business performance and strategy. Increasingly, lawyers are called upon to serve clients who work in scientific and technology-based fields. New practice areas are emerging, and this requires different fluencies. As Northwestern Law pioneered the curricular aspects of teaching business and quantitative skills, we are developing the most comprehensive, integrated, and innovative curriculum that connects the study of law to the STEM disciplines—science, technology, engineering, and math.
Through our highly acclaimed JD-MBA Program, other interdisciplinary collaborations with the Kellogg School of Management and Northwestern University's Department of Economics, and a rich array of courses and other opportunities, Northwestern Law provides unique opportunities for students to master the tools and techniques used by those in the corporate boardroom to develop and analyze data and to facilitate planning and strategy. Students seeking a structured legal curriculum in business are encouraged to pursue the certificate in Business Enterprise Concentration.
The Donald Pritzker Entrepreneurship Law Center provides intensive, hands-on transactional training. Under the supervision of clinical faculty, students work together to represent a variety of business ventures on projects ranging from intellectual property protection to drafting founders' agreements and customer contracts.
The Master of Science in Law program provides focused, practical, business-centered legal training for science and technology professionals so they can address the complex intellectual property, legal, and regulatory environment in which they work. Skills acquired in this program allow professionals to communicate and interact across disciplines and professions, to recognize obstacles and risks, and to visualize opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship.
Northwestern Law students also participate in University-wide interdisciplinary courses. NUvention was created to teach students how innovations become viable business enterprises by putting them in the role of inventors and having them follow their ideas through the commercialization life cycle. Students from across Northwestern University participate in these courses, and several student groups have gone on to form their own businesses following graduation.

On Tuesday, the actor went to T Man Tattoo in Studio City, Calif., and got the number '222' inked on his arm alongside an elaborate illustration depicting a hot air balloon being lifted into the clouds featuring the name of his son, Zen. The basket portion of the hot air balloon tattoo was a peace sign, which Feldman converted from a tattoo of his ex-wife's name. "It was a cover-up," he told Splash News.
"[I've] attached some strings to it," he said. "The basket's got my son's name in it. And then I'm putting his eyes underneath it, so it's kind of like his eyes are lifting up the basket which is going into the clouds."
Feldman explained the number, which he had inked on the left side of the balloon and cloud scene, represented Haim, who also had that number tattooed on his body.
"On the day of his funeral I felt like I should mark hm on my body forever," he said. "Now we're matching."

Hi Folks,
I'm new to the group, so kindly forgive it my question is not
appropirate in any way.
We have a situation where we have a Server application that is
listening on a port on which client applications connect.
Server and clients are on seperate networks.
Server application network is using a firewall device as an interface
for client connections.
The firewall device is configured in such a way that it periodically
performs a poll operation on the ports where the Server is listening
for client connections, just to check the the Server application is
alive and well.
The Server application is written in such a way that it treats all the
connections on this port as connect requests and proceeds to handle
them accordingly.
This leads to some errors of the application logs since while handling
such requests i.e. poll operation for the firewall since the
application doen't distinguish client connect requests from the
firewall poll operation thereby generating following error messages:-
GetCompletionStatus failed - "The specified
network name is no longer available.
My question is-
Is there a workaround on the firewall side to fix this kind of
behaviour by changing some kind of configuration. The poll request is
a valid requirement and cann't be done away with.
Or is it that I need to handle this situation in the Server
application itself i.e. to distinguish between normal client connect
requests and the firewall poll operation.
I'll highly appreciate your insights.

The truck driver was injured as he jumped from the back of the truck.
Police and emergency personnel responded to the scene, in the 2600 block of East Ward Street, at about noon after receiving a report of multiple vehicles struck.
Witnesses told police the truck driver was loading donated goods into the back of the 24-foot truck, owned by St. Vincent de Paul, when it suddenly started rolling down the sloping street.
They said it appeared that the 24-foot truck's brakes failed. The truck slammed into five parked cars as it hurtled down the street.
A silver Toyota at the top of 26th Avenue East had rear passenger side fender damage as it was clipped by the truck. A gray BMW and red SUV sustained more serious damage as the truck plowed into them, pushing the BMW into a garage door and the SUV into a tree.
The truck finally came to a stop as it slammed into a green Toyota Prius and a dark BMW at the bottom of the hill. The Prius sustained the worst damage as its front end was crushed under the truck.
One side of the truck was also ripped away during the series of collisions.
Seattle Fire spokeswoman Lt. Sue Stangl says the driver was taken to a local hospital with an ankle injury.
No other injuries were reported.

LONDON — Chelsea's madcap managerial merry-go-round spun for the umpteenth time on Wednesday when Roberto di Matteo, who guided the club to Champions League glory just six months ago, was sacked.
Chelsea announced on Wednesday that Rafael Benitez had been appointed their interim first-team manager until the end of the season.
Winning Europe's elite club competition had been a burning desire for Roman Abramovich since the Russian billionaire took over as the owner at Stamford Bridge in 2003.
Di Matteo found the "Holy Grail" against all the odds in May but Tuesday's 3-0 reverse at Juventus, which leaves Chelsea on the brink of Champions League elimination, prompted Abramovich to end the reign of his eighth manager at the club.
"The team's recent performances and results have not been good enough and the owner and board felt a change was necessary now to keep the club moving in the right direction as we head into a vitally important part of the season," the club said on their website.
Chelsea, who have won only two of their last eight games in all competitions, said they would be making an announcement shortly on a new manager, with bookmakers listing former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez and former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola as early favourites.
"The club faces a difficult task ahead in qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League as well as maintaining a strong challenge for the top of the Premier League while competing in three other cup competitions.
"The owner and the board would like to thank Roberto for all he has done for the club since taking over in March.
"Roberto helped guide us to an historic Champions League victory and a seventh FA (Football Association) Cup."
Di Matteo was assistant coach before taking over the first team in a caretaker capacity when Portuguese Andre Villas-Boas was sacked in March and he helped turn a mediocre season into a great one.
The Italian inherited a team 3-1 down to Napoli in the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League but he inspired a thrilling fightback in the second leg.
Chelsea then knocked out Benfica in the quarterfinals before beating overwhelming favourites Barcelona in the semis and defeating Bayern Munich at home in Germany on penalties in the final.

East boys get win over Hickory
SLIPPERY ROCK -- East arrived at Slippery Rock University's Morrow Field House behind schedule for Wednesday night's District 10 Class AAA quarterfinal.
Thus it was appropriate that the Warriors won the game late. Extremely late.
East picked the right time to take its first lead of its game against Hickory, as Melvyn Henderson's contested layup with 2 seconds left gave the Warriors a two-point advantage. Henderson then added a free throw with less then one second remaining, the capper to East's remarkable 46-43 victory over the Hornets.
"I wasn't, actually," Henderson said when asked if he was aware that his basket gave the Warriors their first lead. "I was just playing to win. That was it."
East, which has been in playoff mode since a 2-7 start, is now assured of at least two more playoff games. The Warriors will take a winning record (12-11) into their AAA semifinal against General McLane at a site and time to be announced.
Hickory, the Region 5 champion, was eliminated at 19-4.
East coach Matt Jones couldn't recall any game in his playing or coaching career where his team took its first lead so close to the final buzzer.
"You have to play hard, no matter what the circumstances are," he said. "We played bad through stretches (Wednesday), but I told the guys, 'We're going to win this game at the free-throw line.' We made enough to win, and this was a great (show of) character."
Henderson's dramatic basket came after a Hickory turnover near midcourt. The Warriors had forged their first tie since the opening tip when Kyree Kirkland's two free throws made it 43-43 with 1:32 left in regulation.
Coach Nick Cannone then called for the Hornets to dribble time off the clock and play for a potential game-winning shot. That bid ended when Kirkland tipped the ball away from Hickory's Matt Votino in East's backcourt. The Warriors quickly transitioned to offense and got the ball to Henderson on the right side of the lane. He drove for the winning layup with Votino defending him.
"My eyes got huge," Henderson said of that dramatic sequence. "I was like the deer in the headlights."
East immediately called timeout to set up its defense, with Hickory then doing the same.
The Hornets' Michael Nardone tried to sidearm an inbounds pass to midcourt, but the ball went out of bounds untouched.
The Warriors were successful with their inbounds play, which saw Henderson fouled with nine-tenths of a second remaining. The senior guard converted the first of his two free throws to ensure the victory.
Henderson scored a game-high 17 points for the Warriors, while Kirkland added 15. Votino, a 1,000-point career scorer, finished with a game-high 18 points in his final game.

A condominium association is suing the builder who renovated one of Bethlehem's most highly touted new living spaces of the last decade.
The Lehigh Riverport Condominium Association, 11 West Second St., Bethlehem, filed a civil suit Friday in Northampton County Court against Bucks Development & Contracting Corp., 559 Main St., Bethlehem, over defects which the association says include a crumbling exterior wall, "bulging" bricks, and a roof that is caving in.
The association says in its suit that Bucks Development, which renovated the old Bethlehem Steel Johnson Machine Shop building along the Lehigh River next to the Fahy Bridge, should pay to fix the brick and roof.
Repairs to the building will cost more than $300,000 and will take four to six months to complete, the suit says.
The president of Bucks Development, Leo DeLong, told WFMZ.com on Wednesday morning that he had just sent the court papers to his insurance company.
DeLong said the association's legal action is "a false suit," and that he intends to fight it. The area of the building mentioned in the suit "didn't even have a contractor work on it," DeLong claimed. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission "deemed no work was necessary, and we''ll be bringing witnesses into court saying so."
DeLong said the company that did the engineering work on the building, Jena Engineering Corp., of Allentown, sought an opinion from the Historical and Museum Commission before work on the building was begun.
Construction began in 2004 on Lehigh Riverport, a $30-million loft-style condominium project put together by Ashley Development Corp.
In mid-2006, people began moving into the renovated building's 172 condo units, which sold for $150,000 to $600,000 and featured hardwood floors, exposed brick and heating ducts and stainless steel kitchen appliances.
The Riverport complex, arguably Bethlehem's highest-profile example of "adaptive reuse," also included a restaurant/pub (which closed in February), a fitness club and a 500-space parking deck. The building had been used by Bethlehem Steel during World War II to produce ship armaments.
The condominium association suit says that over the last two years, bricks on the building's west wall have begun cracking, and that cracks have appeared inside two units.
Also, the parapet wall at the top of the building is leaning toward the building's center, the suit says, because the EPDM rubber roofing material was not installed with enough slack. Brick under the parapet cap was exposed, allowing water to enter the building, according to the suit.
Also, the building's brick is subject to "bulging" because the building was renovated without anchors to hold the brick to the frame of the building, the suit says.
The condominium association says in its suit that the building is "deteriorating rapidly," and may soon be a hazard to pedestrian traffic.
The suit says the deficiencies are due to Bucks Development's "defective design, defective and incomplete construction and defective review of its own design."
The suit charges breach of contract; breach of implied warranty of workmanship/fitness; unfair trade practices (because of condo owners' loss of value and marketability) and negligence, and asks more than $50,000 in damages.

DETROIT, MI – Faye Alexander Nelson, who has overseen the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy's transformation of the city's international waterfront, is joining DTE Energy Foundation as vice president of public affairs, effective Feb. 17.
In the newly created role, Nelson will be responsible for the foundation's community outreach, focusing on social and economic issues impacting Michigan.
"Faye has played a pivotal role in the transformation of Detroit's riverfront, which now attracts millions of people from all walks of life, and serves as a catalyst for economic development in the region," DTE Chairman and CEO Gerry Anderson. "I know that Faye will bring that same level of leadership and passion to DTE, which can only help us reach our goal to become a force for growth and prosperity in the communities where we live and work."
Nelson is currently president and CEO of the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy, which was launched in 2003 with a three-way partnership between the city of Detroit, General Motors and the Kresge Foundation.
The city and GM both donated riverfront land and/or made improvements to their waterfront properties, while Kresge gave the conservancy a $50 million challenge grant as a catalyst.
As of September, the conservancy says it has raised about $121 million toward a $140 million goal to pay for its work. The city has chipped in some $200 million.
The 3.5-mile "east riverfront section" - from Gabriel Richard Park to the Joe Louis Arena - is 80 percent complete with the remaining 20 percent under construction. The conservancy would like to develop another 2 miles westward to the Ambassador Bridge, and has begun work on some sections of that stretch, though it is still negotiating with landowners on that portion.

This isn't the first time we've seen the all-new 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class being tested before its debut, but these new pictures do give yet another look at the third generation of the German automaker's best-selling SUV.
Last time we saw the M-class it was undergoing some requisite cold-weather testing in Europe, this time however the SUV is being put through an entirely different sort of testing. Based on Motor Trend's photographs taken in southern California, it appears the M-Class is being subjected to the daily urban drive cycle a large majority of its owners will most likely adhere to.
As was the case with the last example spotted undergoing testing, the M's new body panels and lighting are all very well hidden behind black vinyl camouflage. Although disguised, we again get a decent look at the overall shape of the SUV and its distinct lines. Different from the previous tester, this example is wearing a set of five-spoke wheels that appear quite similar to the rolling stock found on the current-generation model (and may very well be).
We're still not sure just when Mercedes plans to officially pull the covers off its popular SUV, but seeing as we hear the new vehicle will launch in time for the 2012 model year, we imagine a public debut is just around the corner. Until that happens, be sure to check out the new spy shots over at Motor Trend.

JEFFERSON CITY Mo – At its Aug. 20 meeting in Jefferson City, the Missouri Conservation Commission approved entering into a contract with Lappe Cement Finishing, Inc. of Perryville for the construction of the Eminence City Park Access Development in Shannon County at a total estimated cost of $353,846.51.
The project is a partnership between the City of Eminence and the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) through the MDC's Community Assistance Program (CAP). CAP helps communities provide improved fishing opportunities through MDC technical assistance and grant funding for the planning and construction of new facilities or the improvement of existing facilities.
Improvements at the Eminence City Park will include the construction of a 16-foot-wide concrete boat ramp, a 32-foot-wide concrete canoe ramp, concrete access roads, walkways and parking lots, restrooms and security lighting. The City of Eminence will provide demolition and removal of an existing cook shack, bleachers and toilet building.
Grant monies from the federal Sport Fish Restoration Program, administered through the MDC, will fund 75 percent of the project costs.

human science: cognitive. It's quite helpful to understand how the
senses work, how the brain takes in and process all the data it
gathers and how we respond to it, so you can design things that
leverage the best of those systems and avoid the pitfalls.

Let Rheumatoid Arthritis trouble you no more
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory illness. This disorder affects about one percent of the world population. The inflammation can be controlled by medication. If the inflammation is not controlled, rheumatoid arthritis can result in the joints to become deformed.
Patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis regularly suffer from cycles of mild and severe symptoms. Consider the following symptoms and effects of rheumatoid arthritis:
Joint swelling (small joints surrounded by hands and feet).
Joint pain, stiffness and pain (especially within the morning).
Hardened lumps (in joints) Cartilage and bone destruction.
Most patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis have antibodies call rheumatoid factors surrounded by their blood stream that are part of the inflammatory process of the disease. The presence of rheumatoid factor is used by doctors to support confirm a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that is cause by the breakdown and eventual loss of the cartilage of one or more joints. Cartilage is a protein substance that serves as a cushion between the bones of the joint. Ostoarthritis is also known as degenerative arthritis.
Osteoarthritis is mostly related to aging. With aging, the wet content of the cartilage increases and the protein makeup of cartilage degenerates. Repetitive use of joint over the years irritates and inflames the cartilage, causing mutual pain and swelling. Eventually, cartilage begin to degenerate by flaking. In advanced cases, near is a total loss of the cartilage cushion between the bones of the joints. Loss of cartilage cushion cause friction between the bones, leading to misery and limitation of cohesive mobility. Inflammation of the cartilage can also stimulate new bone outgrowths (spurs) to form around the joint.
The most common symptom of osteoarthritis is dull pain in the artificial joint after repetitive use. Joint anguish is usually worse later within the day. There can be swelling, temperature, and creaking of the affected joint. Pain and stiffness of the joints can also take place after long periods of disinterest.

That's His Ticket!
Today, I caught up with one of our first winners in our FanTastic 40 promotion: Mark Stinebrink from Lake Geneva, WI.
If you don't know Mark, you will soon. That's because, for one game during the 2013 season, Mark's photo is going to be printed on a Brewers season ticket!
Mark showed up at our offices this afternoon ready for the shoot. He was greeted with quite the entourage– Jeff Harding, our Senior Graphic Designer, who will be designing the tickets; Brittany Luznicky, our Marketing & Promotions Coordinator was on hand to supply props (a cap, a bat, etc.); Jason Massopust, his Account Executive; Billy Friess, Senior Director of Ticket Sales, and me, covering the shoot for the blog, as we escorted him to his shoot with Scott Paulus, our team photographer.
Mark has been a Season Seat Holder on his own since 1998 and has been coming to games well before that. His seats are on the Field Level near the Visitors' dugout..
The shoot lasted about 20 minutes and Mark was a great sport. It was great to see this prize going to such a loyal Brewers fan.
"I think this is a really neat prize," he said. "Everyone says, how come you are so lucky? I say, 'I'm not lucky, I'm just blessed.'"
Season Seat Holders can look forward to seeing Mark's finished ticket when their tickets arrive in late March. He's chosen Sunday, July 21 as the date that he would like his image to appear on the ticket. That date, we'll be hosting the Miami Marlins at 1:10pm.
Mark said he picked that date because that was a convenient date for his family and friends to come out and celebrate together.
While we know that July 21 is too early to be a date that the Brewers might do something like clinch the division (that's what happened on the date the 2011 winner chose!), with baseball, you never know what might happen, so let's hope that ticket is another keepsake for our fans! I know it will be for at least one no matter what.
And the FanTastic 40 promotion–40 Days, 40 drawings, 40 unique prizes and experiences, all for our Season Seat Holders–is just beginning!
There's still time to get in the game and, the sooner you get in, the more scoring opportunities you'll have. So visit brewers.com/fan40 for more information, including complete rules and regulations!
That's His Ticket!
Today, I caught up with one of our first winners in our FanTastic 40 promotion: Bob Sarsfield.
If you don't know Bob, you will soon. That's because, for one game during the 2012 season, Bob's photo is going to be printed on a Brewers season ticket!
Bob showed up at our offices this afternoon ready for the shoot. He was greeted with quite the entourage– Jeff
Harding, our Senior Graphic Designer, who will be designing the tickets; Kelly Candotti, our Marketing & Promotions Coordinator was on hand to supply props (a cap, a bat, etc.); Jason Massopust, his Account Executive; Billy Friess, Senior Director of Ticket Sales, me, covering the shoot for the blog, and cameras from several local television stations–as we escorted him to his shoot with Scott Paulus, our team photographer.
Bob has been a Season Seat Holder on his own since 1989, but he has been a fan and had tickets with friends long before that. In fact, since the Brewers have been in Milwaukee, Bob has only missed one Opening Day: Tuesday, April 10, 1973. The reason he remembers it so clearly is because April 10 is his birthday, and that year, the game against the Boston Red Sox was snowed out, the result of a snowstorm of 13 inches the night prior. In fact, the snowstorm was so bad that the team didn't end up opening their season at home until that Friday, April 13, winning 2-0 over the Baltimore Orioles.
You never know what might happen when you go to a baseball game and Bob's witnessed many other memorable moments over the years. Some of those highlights include:
Rickey Henderson breaking Lou Brock's single-season stolen base record at County Stadium on August 27, 1982
Nolan Ryan's 300th win at County Stadium on July 31, 1990
Robin Yount's 3000th hit at County Stadium on September 9, 1992
Trevor Hoffman's 600th save at Miller Park on September 7, 2010
The Brewers clinching their first-ever National League Central Division Title on September 23, 2011 at Miller Park
And much, much more!
The shoot lasted about 25 minutes and Bob was a great sport. It was great to see this prize going to such a loyal Brewers fan.
"I'm very excited, this was completely out of the blue," he said.
Season Seat Holders can look forward to seeing Bob's finished ticket when their tickets arrive in late March. He's chosen Sunday, July 15 as the date that he would like his image to appear on the ticket. That date, we'll be hosting the Pittsburgh Pirates at 1:10pm.
Bob said he picked that date because it is his sister's birthday and Jennie's a big Brewers fan, just like him.
While we know that July 15 is too early to be a date that the Brewers might do something like clinch the division (that's what happened on the date last year's winner chose!), with baseball, you never know what might happen, so let's hope that ticket is another keepsake for our fans! I know it will be for at least one no matter what.

Talk About a Souvenir Ticket…
I caught up with another winner in our FanTastic
40 promotion: Derrick Iseler of Security Insurance Services.
If you don't know Derrick, you will soon. That's because, for one
game during the 2011 season, Derrick's photo is going to be printed on a
Brewers season ticket!
Derrick showed up at our offices this afternoon, decked out in his
Brewers gear for the shoot. He was greeted with quite the entourage– Jeff
Harding, our Graphic Designer, who will be designing the tickets; Kelly
Candotti, our Marketing & Promotions Coordinator was on hand to supply
props (a cap, a bat, etc.); Nate Hardwick, his Account Executive; Billy
Friess, Director of Season Tickets and me, covering the shoot for
the blog–as we escorted him to his shoot with Scott Paulus, our team
Derrick's company, Security Insurance Services, has been a
Season Seat Holder since 1979. Before Derrick was a Season Seat
Holder through his business, he was one of the Brewers original Season Seat
Holders, signing on with the Club in 1970. It was great to see this prize
going to such a loyal Brewers fan who has been with us through thick and thin!
Note: I've deliberately obscured Derrick's image here–you're going to have to get your hands on a season ticket to the Brewers vs. Marlins game on September 23 to see the final result!
The shoot lasted about 15 minutes and Derrick was a great sport.
When it was over, we asked him if there was a specific game date that he'd like
to have his photo on.
"Hmmm…I don't know." Derrick said.
"When's your birthday? Is it during the season?" Kelly suggested.
It is, but we're not home that day.
"What about your anniversary? When is that?" she tried again.
"Now you're testing me!" Derrick joked. "No, it's September 23."
On Friday, September 23, we are playing at home against the
Florida Marlins, the date of his 33rd wedding anniversary to his
wife, Cyndi. It was settled. The perfect date for his photo to grace the
"That works out great, we'll celebrate at the ballpark," Derrick
said, "and the Brewers will be leading the division then, or they'll be right
You heard it here, folks. Let's hope Derrick and his wife have a
very happy anniversary!

Brewers Athletes Off the Field
This past weekend, five people from our office competed in the Men's Health Urbanathlon in Chicago. For those of you who aren't familiar with this event, it is basically a 15K race with a crazy obstacle course mixed in, ending with a stair climb at Soldier Field.
Jennacy Cruz, Manager of Event Services for Stadium Operations participated in the event, as did Jason Hartlund, VP-Brewers Enterprises. From the Consumer Marketing Department (my department), Chris Barlow, Director of Group Sales; Billy Friess, Director of Season Ticket Sales; and our VP, Todd Taylor, all completed the Urbanathlon.
L-R: Chris, Jason, Todd and Billy, geared up for the Urbanathlon.
Because Chris, Billy and Todd are in my department, I had heard a lot from them about the race and the training leading up to it. I was curious: How do you train for obstacles involving concrete barriers, monster truck tires, police barricades, marine hurdles, cargo nets and stadium steps? (Okay, for these guys the last one was pretty easy.)
Hearing about the race this weekend really got me thinking. Over the years, as guys like Ryan Braun, Casey McGehee and Corey Hart have had 100-RBI seasons or guys like Prince Fielder have hit 50 home runs, my other colleagues — the athletes off the field — have accomplished some pretty amazing things as well.
Basically, what it comes down to is that in working in sports, you often find that the athletes aren't just on the field. Because people who work in sports tend to like sports, consequently they also tend to participate in sports as well.
At the risk of accidentally leaving someone out, here's a small sample of some of our achievements:
Did you know that we have an Olympian on staff? Dave Tamburrino, Director of Corporate Marketing, was a member of the U.S. Olympic Speedskating Team in 1994 (Lillehammer, Norway) and 1998 (Nagano, Japan). Dave also finished 5th overall at the 1995 World All Around Speedskating Championships in Baselga Di Pine, Italy and was a member of the US National Speedskating Team (1988-1998) and the World All Around Speedskating Championships Team (1994-1998). Wow! I wonder if the rest of the Corporate Marketing department finds it hard to keep up with him. Currently, Dave plays hockey for the Cans Lumberjacks adult league team at the Pettit Center.
How cool is Olympian Dave Tamburrino? Ice cold!
Diny Hurwitz, our Data Analyst, is a cyclist. His first long distance bicycle trip was an 800-mile ride from Rochester, New York, to Bar Harbor, Maine, two months before he turned 16. He's biked across the United States from Yorktown, Virginia to Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. He's also traveled from south to north through Oregon along the Pacific Coast and rode a 500-miles loop over three mountain passes through the Colorado Rocky Mountains, reaching an altitude of 12,095 feet at Independence Pass. He's even accidentally biked on the Autobahn in the Czech Republic during his trip to Central Europe (don't ask!).
Diny Hurwitz, on a bike trip to Oregon (seen here sporting his Brewers Kickball t-shirt!).
It's been said that the baseball season is a marathon, not a sprint and it seems like a lot of our staff has taken that quite literally. We've got lots of runners in our ranks and it would be really interesting to know how many miles in races we've logged collectively. Here are some highlights: Sarah Holbrook, Director of Corporate Marketing, has completed three marathons in Noank, CT, Minneapolis, MN, and Amsterdam, Holland. Teddy Werner, Director of Business Operations, has also run three marathons: Boston, New York City and Chicago. Maggie Aliota, Group Event Coordinator, has completed one full marathon, four half-marathons and one sprint triathlon. Prior to the Urbanathlon, Jennacy, Chris, Jason and Billy had all run numerous races, too.
This summer, I completed my first half-marathon as well (although, my main passion is yoga; I'm proud to say I've finally mastered the 8-Angle pose!) and last summer, my boss, Kathy Schwab, Senior Director of Marketing, and I participated in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure, a 60-mile walk over the course of three days in Chicago. We were proud of ourselves for not only completing the event, but for also raising over $5000 for the charity.
Here I am with my boss, Kathy (right) and our mascot, a pink Brewers monkey (appropriately dubbed "Pink Monkey") after finishing the Breast Cancer 3-Day last August.
In February and March, many people on our staff find themselves down at Spring Training in Arizona, but just because we're away from home, it doesn't mean we're on vacation. We're still working and our exercise regimens do not take a hiatus. In fact, some members of our front office put themselves through their own version of spring training with extra-tough pre-season workouts. If you take a trip down there to see the Crew, plan to climb Camelback Mountain and you'll likely see lots of people wearing Brewers gear. I'm proud to say that I conquered Camelback-and my fear of heights-as I climbed the mountain for the first time myself this year.
Camelback Mountain, Phoenix, Arizona: The climb was worth it for this view!
Not counting the experience on the Baseball Operations side, we've got semi-pro baseball players in our MIS and Suites Departments. There are company softball games against other local businesses. A kickball team comprised of people who work on the Loge Level. Volleyball and bowling leagues. A men's pickup basketball league.
This kickball team, comprised of many people from our Loge Level, is playing for the championships next week.
Mention the words "P-90X" and you'll have no trouble finding someone who's been there, done that. And although we're pretty busy during most of Wisconsin's best golfing weather, there's a good number of people (including me) who take advantage of any time they have to hit the links. We've got a former basketball coach on staff and people into dance, tennis and snowboarding.
Again, these are just the things I'm aware of. If I did an official office poll, I'm sure I'd find some more surprises.
So there you have it. The Brewers athletes off the field, a pretty competitive bunch!
What about you, readers? Comment below and let us know what cool feats you've accomplished!
There is No Offseason for… Billy Friess
For my next installment of "There is No Offseason for…" I chose to interview Billy Friess, Director of Season Ticket Sales. In 2010, Billy will be entering his 12th Season with the Club and I don't think he's had an off day, much less an offseason. This guy has tremendous work ethic and a great dedication to his job.
And given his background, it's no surprise that Billy has a strong passion for his work.
"I grew up with baseball as a huge part of my life and I'm so fortunate to call baseball my job," Billy said yesterday, when we sat down to discuss what his calendar looks like from October through March.
Billy's father, Jack Friess, has been coaching baseball at Cedarburg High School for over 30 years. Jack is a Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Famer and even once played in the White Sox organization.
Billy was coached by his own father at Cedarburg High School and went on to play shortstop at Marian University in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, where, after some coaxing, he admitted that he's still 10th all-time in hits.
Billy majored in Sport and Recreation Management at Marian and started his career in the minors with an internship with the Milwaukee Brewers' now-Single-A affiliate, the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. From there, he went on to start out with the Brewers as a Telephone Service Representative (TSR) in the fall of 1998.
"I started out as a TSR in the basement of County Stadium with a computer, keyboard and phone in a 24″ x 36″ cubicle. The first calls I made were to 1994 – the strike year – canceled accounts," Billy recalls fondly.
Billy continued his climb through the ranks. Shortly after the 1999 Season, Billy was promoted to Account Executive and then, with the move to Miller Park in 2001, he became a Senior Account Executive. Then, in 2003, he became the Manager of Season Ticket Sales before being promoted to Director of Season Ticket Sales in 2007, the position he holds today.
As Director, Billy oversees ten Account Executives and six TSRs.
"My job is to give our ten Account Executives and six TSR's all the tools they need to be put in a position to succeed each and every sales campaign," Billy explained.
In keeping with our "no offseason" theme, Billy said the busiest time for his staff is August through Opening Day.
Marketing, Ticket Operations and Ticket Sales all fall under the Consumer Marketing umbrella here at the Club. This means that I am fortunate to get to work with Billy on many of his offseason projects, such as Season Seat Holder renewal packets and the advertising campaigns for his small plans, like our Holiday 4-Packs and our 9-Packs.
"In June and July we start gearing up for our selling season, putting together as attractive a renewal package as possible for our customers from a benefits end. We always try to incorporate something special as an incentive to get people to renew early."
This year, every Season Seat Holder (SSH) who paid in full by November 20 has the option to receive a commemorative 40th Anniversary poster-size Milwaukee Brewers print and for the Full SSH's who renewed by the deadline, there will be a special meet-and-greet with Robin Yount next summer, where he'll personally sign those prints.
Over the years, Billy has rewarded renewal customers with various renewal benefits such as the opportunity to take batting practice at Miller Park, the opportunity to throw out the First Pitch, private autograph sessions with current players including Ryan Braun, recognition as the "Season Seat Holder of the Game" and more.
After the renewal process is well underway, Billy works with the fine folks in the Marketing Department ( :) ) to launch our Holiday 4-Pack campaign. The Holiday 4-Packs start at just $60 and include a ticket to four great games, including an all-fan giveaway game. Plus, for every pair of 4-Packs one buys within the same plan, he or she will score a free Klement's Famous Racing Polish Sausage ornament. There are five exciting plans to choose from and for the past four years, 4-Packs have been popular holiday gifts for Brewers fans.
Did you ever wonder who came up with your 4-Pack "Matinee Plan" or "Weekend Plus Plan"? That's Billy Friess. Billy works with his department to carefully determine which games will be included in each different plan type.
"We try to create different types of packages to appeal to the masses," Billy said.
The 4-Packs and the 9-Packs (which will go on sale in January 2010) are smaller introductory packages, so while there are some benefits, it's not until you move up to the 20, 40 and Full Season plans that the benefits really increase.
Most 20, 40, and Full Season SSH's enjoy benefits such as a significant savings off the standard gate rate, flexible ticket exchange options, the opportunity to purchase individual game tickets before they go on sale to the general public, priority seating for the Postseason, a complimentary Metavante Club Membership, savings on Preferred Parking and Suite rentals and more. There are also special events for Season Seat Holders throughout the year.
In addition to making sure that SSH's are taken care of with these cushy benefits, Billy also tries to create new Season Ticket offerings.
"This is a very value-conscious market, so we try to create offerings like the Terrace Ticket Treat and the Loge Level Double Play," Billy said, referring to two popular SSH deals. The Terrace Ticket Treat is four seats in the Terrace Reserved section for every Brewers home game. The price breaks down to just $6 per ticket, making it a winner with families. New for 2010, the Loge Level Double Play is also a great deal and sure to be just as popular. Essentially, it's a buy-one-get-one free Loge Level Season ticket package that applies to Sections 210 and 227.
"We also aren't afraid to try new things like offering Opening Day for Free with our 9-Packs. Anything with value is going to appeal. We try to think out of the box, stay fresh and not just give a carbon copy of what we did the previous year," Billy said.
Starting at just $135, Brewers 9-Packs include nine great games, plus the home opener on April 5 vs. the Colorado Rockies-for FREE. Other benefits of the 9-Packs include regular pricing on Marquee games, a guaranteed seat location and more, making them uber-popular among fans.
"The 9-Packs with Opening Day for Free are probably my favorite plan that we offer. The packages that are the most marketable are the ones that I like the best. The Fan's Choice Plan, where you pick the 20 games you want, is also an easier sell and meets the needs of a lot more people; plans with lots of value and flexibility, those things are what I like the best," Billy said.
Billy's such a good salesman, he's even sold himself.
"Billy, if you weren't working here, would you buy Season Tickets?" I asked.
Without missing a beat, Billy answered, "Absolutely!"
He even had his seats picked out. "I'd probably buy a Fan's Choice 20-Game Plan in the Terrace Box."
Besides selling tickets, Billy says he also likes to spend the offseason focusing on coaching his staff by listening to their phone calls and providing feedback and also, through providing an intense sales training program.
"At the end of October, we kick off our campaign with sales training. We bring in a local trainer who does a great job of customizing his training to fit our needs, identifying what our challenges are going to be and helping us to overcome any objections that we might get this upcoming season," Billy said.
In addition to the week of training, Billy's staff stays on top of their game with weekly learning tracks filled with ideas, sales techniques and the like.
All of the training has certainly paid off as Billy led his staff to achieve a franchise-record season ticket base in 2009.
"I truly believe we have the best sales staff in all of baseball – a very dedicated staff that works well as a team and genuinely cares about our department and organization," Billy said.
As we were wrapping up, Billy's phone rang and his attention immediately turned to the person on the other line.
"What can I do for you?" Billy asked. After typing away at his keyboard, I heard him say, "Section 216? You got it."
I backed slowly out of his office, leaving him to finish his call with another satisfied customer, no doubt.

More Late Night Entertainment
Tonight, instead of succumbing to the hideous thing that is whatever film Encore is playing this late, I decided to listen to the streaming music from Anti-. Anti- is the record label for bands and people like Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Daniel Lanois, Tom Waits, and (this is the important one right now) Joe Henry.
Joe Henry's Tiny Voices makes perfect late night listening. I am, at this moment, listening to "Sold," a jazzy little thing with seductive lyrics. The thing is about as slyly sensual as you could imagine. After this, I'll probably pop in his earlier release, Fuse and listen to "Want Too Much," which acts as a perfect counterpart to "Sold."
So, if you're up tonight, working like me and looking for something to listen to, then Anti-'s streaming radio might be a good fit for you. Just click on the jukebox link at the top of the page and enjoy the music.
"And if you fall, then I confess, better you this time..."

GREENWOOD VILLAGE - Cherry Creek had the more efficient offense. Cherry Creek had the smothering defense. And Cherry Creek won all but a handful of the face-offs.
AURORA — James Sharp did everything he could possibly do to keep Chatfield's season alive. That included scoring four goals, the last one coming when all hope seemed lost.
But what the senior midfielder and his teammates couldn't do was get that one last elusive tally in sudden-death overtime. That belonged to Regis Jesuit's Marcus Walker, whose only goal of the game gave the host Raiders a 7-6 win May 15 in the boys lacrosse state quarterfinals at Lou Kellogg Stadium.
LAKEWOOD — It was a day to remember for the Chatfield Chargers girls golf team at the 5A regional on May 13 at Fox Hollow Golf Course.
The team won its first regional championship, posting a team score of 252, 17 shots better than second-place Ralston Valley.
Also present at the regional were Dakota Ridge and Columbine, who would finish seventh and eighth, respectively, with scores of 293 and 299. While they did not qualify for state, both will send individuals who did.
PARKER - Brandon Mikulka homered and Tanner Grabinowski drove in two runs as eighth-seeded Ponderosa held off Chatfield, 4-2, on May 16 in the 5A District 2 tournament.
LAKEWOOD — In the final game of the regular season, both Dakota Ridge and Conifer finished in way in which they can both be proud.
The Eagles got the girls lacrosse win, 15-6, on May 8 at Trailblazer Stadium to finish above .500 for the season, while an improved Lobos team hung tough for a half before giving way.
The game was fairly even in the first half as the Lobos stayed within striking distance, but a Marie McDonnell goal with 7.4 seconds left in the half gave the Eagles (8-7 overall, 4-5 5A JeffCo) a three-goal lead heading into intermission.
If Columbine could've started its first-round boys lacrosse state playoff game with Littleton any better head coach Dan Geiger probably doesn't know how.
LAKEWOOD — It wasn't a matter of if Columbine would score. It was just a matter of when.
And how many times.
Ralston Valley's girls lacrosse team held the ball in a watching-paint dry stall to open the May 8 game at Trailblazer Stadium. But like the Rebels had done 14 times previously this season they took control of the regular-season finale — a 14-5 victory over the host Mustangs — which served as little more than a postseason tune-up for Columbine.
LAKEWOOD — When Columbine and Chatfield play each other, you can throw the record book out the window. This was evident on May 4 as the Chargers beat the Rebels in every aspect of the game in a 6-0 girls soccer romp at Lakewood Memorial Field.
For the Rebels, the loss snapped a 12-game winning streak while the Chargers played their most complete game of the season, constantly applying pressure on Columbine.
Chatfield's four doubles teams and No. 2 and 3 singles — Katrine Ross and Rachel Frisz — qualified for the 5A state girls tennis tournament at the Region 2 tournament, hosted by Chatfield, on May 5.
Ross and Frisz took second place, while the doubles teams — Kimberly Arfsten and Molly Reynolds (No. 1), Sara Palmer and Madi Mamaghani (No. 2), Carrie Ford and Lindsie Ford (No. 3) and Stephanie Watson and Kathleen McGuire (No. 4) won regional championships.
