" Amazing results in a slow market"
"We are extremely satisfied with the team of Carson Beier, Rebecca Ernewein & Tara Smith of Royal LePage Noralta Real Estate Spruce Grove. Tara spent many hours helping us find the home that was perfect for us and Carson & Rebecca did such a wonderful job marketing our home for sale. The Carson Beier team had our home sold in less than 2 weeks. This was pretty amazing given the slow market. We were able to coordinate the closing dates of our purchase and sale which made for a smooth transition.
We wish Tara all the very best in her new real estate career and she is comes highly recommended by us as do Carson and Rebecca, the Carson Beier team."
Karen & Bill Day
" Exceeded our expectations!"
Once again we were very impressed with Carson and his team being able to exceed our expectations when it came to selling our home. Not only were they able to get us the price that we wanted but also beat our expected time frame. Even when the house had an offer on it, Carson and his team kept on working and marketing our home to have a back up offer ready to go in case the deal fell through. We will always recommend Carson and he will always have our business if and when needed.
Jamie & Laura Burgh
" Dream Team!"
With Carson and Rebecca you really are getting the "dream team"! I really didn't think they could get our house sold in a soft market and find us something in our price range, but they did through hard work and properly executed advertising. Carson was super easy to deal with, always kept us informed, and was really helpful with the technical side of things. Carson even saved us some money on our purchase through well executed negotiations. Rebecca worked very hard behind the scenes making sure we always had the information we needed and arranged all of our showings flawlessly. At times we only gave her a days notice to view a property, but she was able to make it happen,
They even had a gift basket for us when we took possession of our new house! Very nice touch.
Thank you Carson and Rebecca!
Chris & Tammy Ferguson
" Sold in 5 days with Carson!"
We had our home listed with ComFree for 4 months, we had many showing (40+) during this time and some return visits. Everyone that came through loved the house, yard and location we had a lot of positive feedback from other realtors, but no offers. We decided to list with Carson Beier after our comfree contract lapsed, Carson had been recommended to us by several friends of ours. We met with Carson and got a very good feeling from him and his team, very professional, honest and a lot of knowledge in the industry and our area. Once we listed we had a showing immediately, and an offer shortly after. We ended up selling the house within 5 days of listing with Carson and his team and received asking price. Carson and his team were always available if we had any questions or concerns. Carson and his team made this a very easy process for our family and we are truly grateful for their help and expertise.
Kyle Gerrard
" I was impressed with Carson's knowledge and professionalism."
Carson was great to deal with as I was selling my home on Comfree, he brought a client to the table and negotiated a very fair deal. I was impressed with Carson's knowledge and professionalism and decided to utilize his services to purchase my new home. I believe he and his team are onto something with what they are providing their clients. I have used other realtors in the past that have not shown the quality of service and client care that Carson provides. I will definitely use him again.
Perry Getzinger
" Unmatched true professionalism!"
Working with Carson and his team was absolutely fantastic! Not only did they sell our house in only 9 days (wow!), they also gave us VIP treatment during the hunt for our beautiful new acreage. Their true professionalism, industry knowledge and experience was unmatched. Carson and Rebecca made every step in our buying and selling process perfect. We thank them so much and highly recommend them to everyone!
Chad & Erin Thomas
" I highly recommend Carson and his team."
Selling our home was made easier with Carson, as he provided excellent support and guidance throughout the process. He was available whenever we needed help or had questions. Thanks to Carson and his team our sale went smoothly. Then, Carson and his team helped us find our current home, which the buying process was quick and efficient. All paperwork was handled by Carson and Rebecca so the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our current home went without any complications. Craig and I highly recommend Carson and his team. Thank you Carson and Rebecca!!
Denise & Craig Fortowsky
" They went above and beyond for us."
My wife and I had been looking to buy our first home. We had contacted a number of realtors but had had little luck with finding the right fit. Carson and Rebecca were quick to respond to our questions and concerns and were extremely professional. Coming from a farm, we were not picky about housing style, but, we wanted to keep to a quiet neighbourhood with a fair sized yard. They worked with us to find a great selection of houses that were exactly what we were looking for and we ended up choosing the first house they had recommended for us. We would recommend Carson and Rebecca to anyone looking to buy a home. They went above and beyond for us and made sure our first time home buying experience was a positive one. Thank you!
Nickolas and Megan Aubin
" Extremely helpful!"
Carson and his team were extremely helpful and easy to communicate with in both selling our house and purchasing our new home.
Kyle & Camille Bailey
" They have so much knowledge."
We are so greatful for our experience selling our home and purchasing our new home with Carson Beier and Rebecca Ernewein. Along the way there were some bumps and they handled everything so professional with easy and so much care. They have so much knowledge and always knew what to do in all circumstances. Day or night always there to answer our questions. Our experience was wonderful, it was nice to work with people that not only cared about their job but cared about us too.
Kim Christiansen
" You guys were fantastic!"
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you guys have done for us, I'm going to write a testimonial in here, it took awhile but we're finally settled and getting into the groove of day to day life in the new house! You guys were fantastic to work with the past few months (and the past couple of years) and we look forward to working with you in the future.
Madeleine Zizek & Rory Stewart
" Their expertise produced great results."
Our experience with Carson & Rebecca has been excellent. Carson, Rebecca and the team have walked us through each aspect of the sale of our home and made it a painless experience for us, and their expertise produced great results. We highly recommend their services!
Jake & Erin Bergen
" Continually Impressed."
We have been continually impressed with excellent service! There has not been a moment between the day we listed and the day we closed that we weren't looked after. The team approach of the brokerage is very effective and we have always felt that our sale was a priority. We loved the use of all available media for advertising. Many of our friends and neighbors mentioned that they were seeing our home advertised 'everywhere'. That means that potential buyers also found us as easily. We would not hesitate to use them again and certainly recommend them to all! Thank-you Carson and Rebecca for all you've done. Your expertise has made the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home a wonderful experience.
Daina and Corey Benson
" At the Top of the List!"
We would like to express our thanks for all the effort expended in selling our home. The professionalism and communication with us from start to finish was outstanding. The use of the latest electronic devices to advertise and transmit documents to conduct business as efficiently and quickly as possible was impressive! Should we encounter anyone looking for a realtor; your names will be at the top of the list! Thanks again!
Francine and Gerald
" No Stone Unturned."
As a highly recommended referral, we employed Carson & Rebecca to sell our condo. We were very quickly impressed with the high level of organization within the team. Each team member had a specific role resulting in no stone unturned or overlooked. Everything from the in-depth level of education and communication, all the way to the late-night visits ensuring information pamphlets were delivered on time for showings very much set a new bar in expectations for us in real estate service. Upon the negotiation stage, we found Carson willing and very experienced to fight for every last dollar, which proved to us that he prioritized our end result before his commission. We felt he put as much time and effort into selling our home as he would with his own home. We couldn't have been happier with the end result.
Brodie & Kim Wagner
" A testament of hard work & energy"
I would like to thank you and your team for handling the sale of my house, it was a pleasure working with all of you. For the house to sell in the tough housing market that is occurring is a testament of the hard work and energy you and your team put forth. The marketing of the house was fantastic and your grasp of the market conditions was above expectations. If I am in need of a REALTOR® again I would not hesitate to call. I will definitely refer you and your team!
Allan Fritz
" Carried us through a difficult time."
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Carson and his team regarding the sale of my elderly mother's property. They demonstrated excellent support for our family, guidance, encouragement, timeliness, teamwork, communications, patience, professionalism, and genuine caring that truly carried us through a very difficult time. I would highly recommend Carson & Rebecca and all the other staff at the brokerage. They will definitely be our 'realtor of choice' in the future!' Thanks again for all you've done for our family!!

Shortly after digging season began I got brave enough to commence wading season. While it was a tad chilly, following a lead on a new spot made it well worthwhile! A Burke Bros. Providence blob was among the finds. This example with an oval slugplate, but circular embossing is a new variant.
One of my personal favorites was a Blue Rose Bottling Co. Providence blob. This company was only in business for two year. This almost clear bottle with a gray tint was an unlisted color.
A Natick Bottling Works Natick, RI BIM crown top had seen much better days, but looked different. It had the phrase "this bottle registered" on the shoulder, which is unlisted. This one definitely needs a replacement!
Update: Just a week after I found this example, I dug another in much better condition! This second example is the one pictured.
Update: Just a week after I found this example, I dug another in much better condition! This second example is the one pictured.
A recent antiquing trip produced a Douglas Ave. Bottling Co. Providence blob. This example has erased lettering under Ave. and no period after Ave.
While digging the big dump with a few friends last month, one of them found a Cranston Mineral Water Works Cranston RI BIM crown top. I have a Cranston Mineral Water Co. bottle, which is uncommon, and this new variant was pretty exciting. It didn't take long for me to find the right bottle for him and make the trade.

Calculations shall be made available to demonstrate that adequate detention shall be provided for the entire development. Post development release rates of the two year, ten year and 100 year, 24 hour storm events must be no greater than the pre-development natural state discharge from the site. 3. All design stormwater detention calculations shall be based on runoff hydrographics. Walworth County will not except the use of the modified rational formula for development of the required two year, ten year and 100 year, 24 hour runoff hydrographs. 4. Design rainfalls to be used in stormwater calculations must be from the point rainfall intensity-duration-frequency relationships for Milwaukee, Wisconsin according to the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Plan Commission report. 5. Soil conditions for design computations must either provide continuous accounting of antecedent soil moisture conditions or assume wet conditions. 6. All naturally occurring contributing runoff entering the project site must be included in the design of the drainage system. 7. Contributing runoff entering the project from off site may be excluded from detention calculations if the water is routed around on site disturbed areas by use of stable water course.
8 8. Swales and ditches, combined with underground sewer systems shall provide adequate outfall and safe conveyance for runoff from the 100 year frequency, 25 hour rainfall event. 9. Drainage systems may not result in transfer of drainage from one delineated natural drainage area to another if reasonable alternatives exist which would preserve natural drainage patterns. 10. All stormwater basins shall be permanent, aesthetically pleasing, if practical and safe. Subsurface bottoms of wet basins must provide a six foot wide safety ledge at a depth no greater than two feet six inches below the normal water level. Basins are considered wet if they are greater than three feet deep. 11. Single pipe outlets for detention basins shall have a minimum inside diameter of 12 inches. 12. Perforations in the riser for dual purpose sediment/detention basins shall not be allowed in the two foot settling zone as identified by the Wisconsin Construction Site Best Management Practice Handbook for sediment basins, unless settling velocities provide for adequate soil particle size capture within the proposed basin. 13. All calculations must be provided to the county to demonstrate that all stormwater criteria have been met. 14. Land disturbance, erosion control and stormwater review and approval must be granted prior to any excavation conducted as part of projects requiring land disturbance, erosion control and stormwater review according to the Walworth County Land Disturbance Erosion Control and Stormwater Management Ordinance.

For decades, IT departments have been a cost center. Information technology is a cost to the company. The services and capabilities are undoubtedly valuable, but like legal, accounting, or human resources departments they are a cost to the company. In my humble opinion, in many cases this should change.
Most of my work as the Chief Economist at HDS, has focused on ways and means to help IT departments reduce their costs. As a cost center, a dollar (or ringgit) saved is a dollar to the bottom-line. Almost all of my efforts have been to identify, measure and recommend options to reduce costs. For IT service providers, or cloud service providers, the IT department is the profit center, and their cost reductions result in a lower Cost of Goods (CoGs) that in turn improved profitability. These IT departments look for any and all ideas that can open new channels of business and revenue. Many of these operational and planning perspectives should become the norm in traditional cost-center-IT departments.
Now lets suppose for a minute that IT (or some percentage of IT) can be converted to a profit-center. Cost optimization is still important, but the emphasis is now on how to turn higher profits. The mind-set, traditions, practices of IT would be challenged, and innovations would be embraced when these innovations improve profits. Here are two simple areas where I have seen traditional IT departments consider for-profit expansion:
1. Private Cloud Service Provider – This has been most common in the government sector. One department becomes very good at delivering IT services and systems at a quality price, and then turn to other smaller agencies to vend their offering. Government may not be a for-profit company, but these IT groups that assume this type of leadership do transform themselves to be customer-sensitive, price-sensitive and service conscious. By moving to a for-profit model, they ensure that their operations and standards contribute to the quality and value of the offering. They discourage and attack waste, long turn-around times, ancestry resources and licenses. Some hospital and higher education IT organizations are also making this transition by offering very customized and specific IT services available to like-minded organizations in which they may have a semi-formal or cooperative arrangement.
2. Next is the idea of Big Data. Here is a new opportunity where the IT department can now take years of data (or meta data) and work it into a product offering to sell within or without their own organization. They create, management, ownership of the data is within IT, why not turn around and drive revenue with assets within your control? This Bloomberg TV interview of HDS VP in APAC shows one perspective on how this can be done.
These two examples above may not be enough to convince someone to turn IT into a profit center. There are certainly several risks and issues, but the value and historical resources, or data, can be thought of as a commodity. Best practices and operational efficiencies could be sold to others that do not posses the same levels of cost effectiveness. Moving to a profit-center mindset may also change some of the architectural, operational and attitudinal traditions that exist within IT, and in the least may lead to a secondary path of OPEX and unit cost efficiencies. So even if you don't change to a profit center, the planning and process might well result in better cost-center cost results.
