Auction Law & Ethics
Every time I pick up a paper or click on the news, someone is calling for transparency in something. Critics and the media demand transparency in this and that. The public wants transparency in everything—except their individual affairs. Transparency shows up time and again in discussions of government, the political process, campaign finance, corporate management, executive compensation, economic development, contract bidding, all aspects of business, etc. While the concept is certainly well intentioned, and while much progress has been made in bringing light to many corners once hidden in darkness, a mere call for transparency is no panacea.
Those who prefer to work in the shadows because it furthers their interests are not prone to voluntarily opening the curtains that they prefer. So while efforts to be transparent are steps in the right direction, they are usually far from being the end of the journey that is needed. Indeed, changes in transparency are usually a matter of degree and not a complete fix. They are only a partial correction in what has been done as opposed to an absolute remedy that rights all wrongs and cures all ills.
Despite progress in making many fields and activities transparent, one area that has seen little to no progress is auctions, where murky remains the usual order of business. Auctions are events where tricks and ruses are sometimes played to benefit some at the expense of others. Quite a few auctions use smoke and mirrors to keep the old secrets as close as magicians' tricks, while the crooked practices of the past continue to be the conduct of the present. This is largely attributable to the different agendas and interests of the different parties involved in an auction, and their desire to keep those agendas concealed. The one common denominator is the individual quest for financial gain, which pits certain parties against others. For a buyer to win big, it is necessary for a seller to lose big, and vice versa. Consequently, none of these parties are anxious to share their respective views, secrets, and objectives with others for fear of losing a competitive advantage.
Furthermore, little about the auction process lends itself to transparency. This is due to several factors, including: (a) the fast pace at which most auctions are conducted; (b) the large number of persons present and the distractions that they cause; (c) the impossibility of monitoring the activity of all those present (i.e., in person, by telephone, via the Internet, or by absentee bid); and, (d) the inability to know the thinking behind what people do and do not do during an auction.
In a transparent situation, the operative facts are on display to view, digest, and use to make calculations, form opinions, and reach conclusions. In shrouded matters, interested parties gaze into the dark for material facts that cannot be seen. As a result they are left to speculate far more than they are able to calculate. Prospective bidders and buyers need to know there are hidden and significant risk factors in auctions and conduct themselves accordingly. This column is slanted to the perspective of these bidders and buyers. Here are the key groups within an auction that pose a threat.
I want to emphasize that many auctioneers and auction firms run honest and ethical businesses and no criticism or condemnation is aimed at these practitioners and firms whatsoever. Nevertheless, we will see that the honest and ethical practices of auctioneers alone cannot provide a transparent setting to protect against wrongful practices that could harm bidders and buyers. Consequently, bidders and buyers must exercise a high degree of caution and care in auctions to safeguard their interests. The reasons for this will become clear.
Likewise, many bidders, buyers, and sellers are honest and ethical people. No criticism or condemnation is leveled toward any of these folks either.
Although many auctioneers are honest, hard-working professionals, other auctioneers can be the originators of the wrongful sleight-of-hand activities that exist in auctions that are devoid of transparency and honesty. The pace, distractions, and auctioneer's chant can combine to create near-perfect camouflage for these unlawful and unethical activities. Wrongs can pass through the auction process as easily as rights, because they are perpetrated in ways intended to escape detection by others. When an auctioneer crosses the line, the most common target is bidders and buyers.
Several unethical practices predominate. Most auctioneers have no interest in talking about these things, let alone revealing information that would bring transparency and recognition to these abuses.
Some auctioneers are inclined to misrepresent certain lots by falsely puffing up the descriptions, quality, and provenances. The object is to fool bidders into bidding more than the lots are worth. The culmination of the ruse occurs when the auctioneer sells both the fiction and the lot to a bidder who then pays too much for too little. Misrepresentation is the antithesis of transparency.
Phantom bidding occurs when an auctioneer calls bids that no bidder has made. The auctioneer pretends that one or more bidders are vying for the lot in an effort to create the appearance of bidding competition that does not exist. The object of this scam is to lure a legitimate bidder into biting the auctioneer's "hook" and bidding real money against the phantom bidder. This is the same goal for every form of misrepresentation in auctions—to induce buyers to overpay for what is being offered for sale.
Shill bidding is the same as phantom bidding, except some person in the crowd plays the role of a legitimate bidder and actually makes bids to the auctioneer. Nevertheless, the shill is merely a straw bidder working in tandem with the auctioneer, and no real money is bid. The shill makes hollow bids to encourage legitimate bidders to jump in and bid real money against him. Once again the buyer of such a lot is the sheep who gets fleeced out of his money by the tag team of the auctioneer and shill.
No one would ever assume bidders as a group are an open book and aboveboard. Instead, the opposite can be true, and bidders often are a secretive lot who engage in certain practices under the table in an effort to do one another in. Here are several techniques commonly practiced to dampen competition from other bidders that are hidden from view.
First, some bidders will bad-mouth certain lots to reduce or terminate interest in the lots. Frequently this criticism is rooted not in fact but in self-interest. If the effort works, demand for the lots will be decreased, which will reduce bidding and result in lower selling prices that would favor the negative-speaking bidders if they became the buyers of these lots.
Second, bidders have been known to physically alter lots to make them less attractive to others. This might involve removing parts to make an item appear to be incomplete or, in extreme cases, purposefully damaging it. Another ploy is to hide items so other bidders cannot bid for these pieces. Bidders sometimes will move items to change their order of appearance in an auction in hope of preventing others from bidding for the pieces.
Third, some bidders can be extremely petty. Any slight or offense by another bidder, either real or perceived, can trigger a sharp retaliation. This might come in the form of the angered bidder outcompeting the other bidder for the lots the latter wanted or running the bids up on that bidder—even when the party running the bids has no interest in purchasing the lots.
There is nothing transparent about the identity of bidders. Who are the people that registered to bid in the auction? Is every person who flashes a bid sign a legitimate bidder acting in good faith and with a bona fide intention to purchase the property for the amount bid? Are those pieces of paper the auctioneer refers to as "absentee bids" from real bidders? I once heard an auctioneer at a conference boast about his "absentee bidders"—the ones he revealed were his creation that he used as "paper shills." Are those telephone bidders legitimate or just shills? Are there real persons on the other end of those phone lines?
Auctioneers love the numbering system they commonly use to identify bidders who become buyers in auctions. There is nothing transparent about "bidder 117." Who is this person? Is he a legitimate bidder who has become a buyer, or is he an agent who was bidding at the behest of the auctioneer to drive the bid price up for real bidders to compete against (and who will never pay for the lot if he ends up with the highest bid)? If he is not an agent of the auctioneer, is he an ally of the seller? Is number 117 a person or just a "house number" that the auctioneer uses to "buy in" lots that do not reach their reserve amounts while giving the appearance that everything that crosses the auctioneer's block is selling for strong prices?
What are we to make of sellers? Transparency has not chased back the dark of night that cloaks them. Sellers can be straight arrows or crooked snakes. Bidders and buyers often do not know the truth.
The warning to sellers at the outset of this column to stay alert and cautious, even when an auctioneer is lily white, is because, unbeknownst to that auctioneer, the seller might be the opposite and running any number of concealed tricks in the auction.
Consider the following questions. Are the descriptions and provenances that the seller gave to the auctioneer for the goods truthful and accurate, or are they contrived and fraudulent, with the intent of cheating bidders and buyers? Is the seller trying, either directly or indirectly, to affect the bidding by making undisclosed bids for his own goods or enlisting others to bid in the auction as shills for him? Is it the seller's intention to refuse to close some sales because of unsatisfactory prices even though that would violate the terms of the auction?
A lack of transparency keeps us from knowing these answers at the outset of an auction. In fact, we may never know the truth.
Auctions can be great buying venues, but they can include hidden traps for the unwary. Transparency has not come to auctions, and there is no means by which bidders and buyers can easily see where hidden traps might lie and how they would work. This means bidders and buyers are left to wonder about these things and search for these risks on their own. Next time we will consider several rules that can help protect you from the risk of harm and loss that lurks within the auction process. That is it until the May issue of M.A.D. Until then, good bidding.

Determinants of Import Demand in Thailand
This study estimates an aggregate import demand function for Thailand. The earlier studies on import demand based on time series date did not deal with the issue of stationarity of the time series before estimation. Using the cointegration approach, we find aggregate import demand for Thailand to be price inelastic, cross price inelastic (with respect to domestic price) and income inelastic in the short run. In the long run, aggregate import demand is still price inelastic and cross price inelastic. However, aggregate import demand is highly income elastic in the long run. [C22, F14]Download Info

Her BirthRebecca Goss
ISBN: 978 1 847772 38 1 Categories: 21st Century, British, Women Imprint: Northern House Published: July 2013 80 pages Publisher: Carcanet Press Also available in: eBook (Kindle), eBook (EPUB)
with an unlucky lobe, the rarest of anomalies that would flourish and defeat her from 'Foetal Heart' Shortlisted for the 2013 Forward Prize for Best Collection In 2007 Rebecca Goss's newborn daughter Ella was diagnosed with Severe Ebstein's Anomaly, a rare and incurable heart condition. She lived for sixteen months. Her Birth is a book-length sequence of poems beginning with Ella's birth, her short life and her death, and ending with the joys and complexities that come with the birth of another child. Goss navigates the difficult territory of grief and loss in poems that are spare, tender and haunting: 'Going home, back down / the river road, will be a foreign route without her'.It must be at once the most painfully personal and the most restrained and sparsely written poetry collection of the year... It's poetry of witness. The language is simple; the images are simple; the feeling is all. It's feeling no one wants to have, and it is handled with immense grace. Katy Evans-Bush, Poetry London Something close to a poetic journal, the poems are by turns meditative and bewildered, uttered in the quietest of delicately weighted language, as if the failing child and the experience alike could not bear too much pressure or noise. What transformations there are, are tentative and quietly sustained. Jane Draycott, Canto She [writes] with astonishing success, to which the key is a brilliant sparseness consistently adding up to more than the sum of its parts. Her linguistic tact and her judgement never falter... Lawrence Sail, Warwick Review The poems have an almost unbearable beauty... Peter Kennedy, poetrywivenhoe The poems in Her Birth unfold their story of love, loss and grief for a baby daughter with pared-down precision and scorching intensity. Helen Dunmore Echo Fetal Heart Room in a Hospital Skin-to-Skin Toast Clinic Echo Palliative A Dream of Heart Babies I Sweat When I Swings Ward at Night Severe Ebstein's Anomaly A Child Dies in Liverpool Post St Mary's Her Birth Mining The Postmistress Honey Stretch Marks The Highchair Print Mining You're Lucky You Can Dream About Her October Muscovado Sugar My Neighbour's Himalayan Birch The 21st of March Mothers of the Dead Found Helpline The Lights Sunday Papers Grief Goes Jogging Peeing at the Odeon Repair Another Welcome Why We Had Another Baby Test Hyperemesis Gravidarum As Owls Do Clothes Welcome Shadows My Animal Lost Bench Telling the Tale In Memory of John Ernest Goss 1920–2011 Snail Moon Taking You There Last Poem Acknowledgements

My readers in the United Kingdom will be interested to hear that the world premiere of Howard Barker's 2006 play The Forty, directed by David Ian Rabey, will take place at the Theatr y Castell in Aberystwyth, Wales, on 7 December and run through 10 December. The Wednesday-Friday performances are at 7.00pm and the Saturday matinee at 1.30pm; following the Thursday night performance, Rabey, a leading director and scholar of Barker's work, will sit down for a brief dialogue with the playwright. Tickets and schedule information are available here.
A selection from Rabey's program notes for the production is below. It is interesting to note his short description of the funding controversy that enveloped Barker's own Wrestling School company in 2007. Apropos my post yesterday, it is a demonstration of what happens when institutions make grants decisions based upon an implicit and assumed aesthetic of what art should (and, by extension, shouldn't) be doing, and whether it does (or doesn't) qualify for government support:
Howard Barker wrote The Forty (Few Words) in 2006. The Wrestling School, the theatre company dedicated to presenting Barker's work, scheduled a production of The Forty for touring in Autumn 2007 and planned to incorporate local community performers and students into an orchestrated silent chorus of movement … . However, in 2007 the government diverted £112.5 million pounds from the Arts Council of England to pay for preparation for London's 2012 hosting of the Olympic Games. Rather than oppose this with any public demonstration of eloquence or conviction, the Arts Council of England responded by systematically excising the criterion of "Artistic Development" (the principal ground for The Wrestling School's funding) from consideration in its awards, and rejected the application for The Forty as "insufficient priority." This decision not to fund this particularly innovative project was a politically ominous and significant outcome of an arts funding policy which, in its documented "assessment criteria and priorities" of May 2007, privileged an ostensibly quantifiable social utility over any commitment to, or mention of, artistic development; thus, they further diminished rather than extended the range of theatre practice [emphasis mine -- GH]. In consequence, there was no Wrestling School production in 2007: one year short of its potential celebration of twenty years of highly acclaimed international work as an independent theatre company. …
Barker's explorations of both the singular moment and the limits of language achieve a new formal concentration and beauty in The Forty, a compendium which stretches beyond even the ambition of collections such as The Possibilities and 13 Objects to present forty short plays, each concentrating on a moment of extreme emotional tension, and foregrounding the ways in which words and gestures provide currency for negotiation, where actions manifest and question the terms of statements, in a (possibly enticing) declaration of war for the terms of life. Many of the characters in The Forty are glimpsed at crisis points, as in that resonant phrase "at the end of their tethers" as we witness the seizing and/or dying of an impulse. Characters and audiences are brought, together, towards the negotiation of a wordlessness. These are elliptical narratives, in the sense of being so condensed as to be ambiguous: do they present a prelude, or an aftermath (or both)? The audience is invited to imagine further beyond, on the basis of an active, tensile incompletion in word and deed: a fateful hinge moment, and the surrounding tensile readiness, forceful disengagement, despairing submission, or shocking nonchalance. Anne Bogart notes how both violent events and powerful aesthetic experiences induce a silence, a space and time where "language ceases":
We are left only with an awareness of the limits of language and the limits of what can be taken in. In this gap definitions disappear and certainty vanishes. Anything is possible — any response, any action or inaction. Nothing is prescribed. Nothing is certain. [1]
This is a point similarly identified by Alphonso Lingis: "At the moment when none of the anticipated words are there, we are held in the present, a present disconnected from the chain of word-vectors of the past and from the anticipated conclusion." [2]
This is the focal point of The Forty. Barker brilliantly captures this sense of theatre's transaction with the unknown and unknowable:
The play only appears to be about the living because the actors are living. The characters have never lived, nor by the same token, can they ever be said to be dead. Theatre is situated on the bank of the Styx (the side of the living). The actually dead cluster at the opposite side, begging to be recognized. What is it they have to tell? Their mouths gape … [3]
Welcome to our forty journeys into the unspeakable; in search of…

PeaZip is a cross-platform file archiver utility that provides a unified portable GUI for many open source technologies like 7-Zip, FreeArc, PAQ, UPX, etc. Creates 7Z, ARC, BZ2, GZ, *PAQ, PEA, QUAD/BALZ, TAR, UPX, WIM, XZ, and ZIP files. It extracts more than 150 archive types: ACE, ARJ, CAB, DMG, ISO, LHA, RAR, UDF, ZIPX, and more. Features of PeaZip include extracting, creating, and converting multiple archives at once, creating self-extracting archives, split/join files, strong encryption with two factor authentication, an encrypted password manager, secure deletion, find duplicate files, calculate hashes, and export job definitions as scripts.
Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. It also enables software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy features. It provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without compromising their privacy. Individuals can use it to keep remote Websites from tracking them and their family members. They can also use it to connect to resources such as news sites or instant messaging services that are blocked by their local Internet service providers (ISPs).
P-Synch is a commercial password management toolkit which provides automated password synchronization, password strength enforcement, password self-reset by authenticated users, and streamlined password reset by helpdesk.

SecurityFocus ARIS Extractor is a sophisticated Intrusion Detection System (IDS) log analyzer and reporting system, integrated with the SecurityFocus ARIS web site. It allows administrators to upload Intrusion Detection System (IDS) logs to the SecurityFocus ARIS Web site, producing sophisticated reporting, and research attacks and events. By filtering out insignificant or benign data and converting it to a common (XML) format, ARIS extractor streamlines incident reporting for both security professionals and home users, allowing IDS operators to focus only on relevant attacks and incidents. It allows you to analyze and archive logged incidents, cross reference incidents/attacks with the SecurityFocus Vulnerability Database, look up contact information for offending IP addresses, generate personal incident statistics and reports, automatically identify and report important incidents, reduce the amount of time spent parsing IDS logs, and generate daily summary reports, delivered by email (optional). All of this is done without revealing any information that could be used to discern your identity. It can be configured to obfuscate IP addresses, names, and other pertinent details before submitting them to the ARIS Analyzer web site. It supports Snort, Cisco Secure IDS, Dragon, NetProwler, RealSecure, BlackICE Defender, and ICEPac.

Its features include splitting archives over several files, DVD, CD, ZIP, or floppies, compression, full or differential backups, strong encryption, proper saving and restoration of hard links, extended attributes, file forks, Door inodes, and sparse files, remote backup using pipes and external commands (such as ssh), and rearrangement of the "slices" of an existing archive. It can run commands between slices, before and after saving some defined files or directories (for a proper database backup, for example), and quickly retrieve individual files from differential and full backups. Several external GUIs exist as alternatives to its CLI interface, like kdar, DarGUI, SaraB, etc.
CyberFusion is a system that provides secure file transfer across a LAN, a WAN, and the Internet. It offers encryption and security, reliability and guaranteed delivery, management and automation, audit and control.

The 29-year-old actor has enjoyed getting to don unusual headwear, including a Stetson and a fez, as the Time Lord and he is pushing for a new hat for the 2012 run.
He told BANG Showbiz: "I've been thinking of hats for next year. I think the pork pie's quite fun, or, you know, the Doctor in a fun trilby. I think Steven's going to go for a really ridiculous one. I really like the Stetson."

Is it the Fez? Or the Stetson?

main index Narrative
In Japanese society, a method for identifying the leader of a group - be it the leader of an Ouendan or a club or group president - is to look for the red armband on the left or right arm. The armband has the name of the group printed on it.
For westerners, associations might come out wrong. Very wrong. Except for Russians, who used similar armbands quite innocently during the Soviet period. Plain black armbands have a much different connotation - they indicate that the wearer is either mourning a lost comrade, or that they're an anarchist.

Despite the fact that pop princess Britney Spears tried to let behind the photo scandal and returned to work, the incident is far from being over. Yesterday, according to AP, U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta branded Britney as "irresponsible", for driving with her four-month old baby boy on her lap.
Mineta stated that even though Spears apologized for the incident and acknowledged her mistake, she sent a wrong message to her fans and for the future she should be more carefully in her actions.
Mineta says, "Recent photos of Britney Spears driving with her infant son on her lap are troubling. And while Ms Spears has acknowledged her mistake, her actions still send the wrong message to millions of her fans."
He adds: "No matter who you are, there's absolutely no excuse for this display - not instinct, not fear, not even reckless paparazzi. It's irresponsible to compromise the safety of a child for the sake of the moment."
"So, I'm asking everyone today to put the safety of all of our children first," Mineta said. "Put your children in booster seats, buckle them up, buckle yourself up and obey driving laws."
Last week, Spears, 24, was photographed driving down the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California on Monday, with her baby on her lap, and accompanied by a bodyguard, who was staying on her right.
The incident caught the attention of child welfare authorities, because it appears that Britney endangered her baby's life by violating the motor safety laws, which requires children to ride in a car seat until they are at least 6 years old or weigh 60 pounds.
Later in an interview broadcast by the TV show, "Access Hollywood" Britney said: "I made a mistake and so it is what it is, I guess. Being put in the situation that I was in, it was kind of bad with the paparazzi."

Adolf Overweg
Adolf Overweg (July 24, 1822 – September 27, 1852) was a German geologist, astronomer, and traveler from Hamburg. As a member of a mission to fix trade routes in Central Africa he became the first person of European origin to circumnavigate Lake Chad. In 1849 he joined an expedition under the command of James Richardson set to leave Tripoli in the Spring of 1850 in order to help the British government forge relations with central African kingdoms. They crossed the Sahara, splitting up in 1851 with Overweg trekking by route of Zinder to Kukawa, rejoining expedition scientist Heinrich Barth. After 18 months of exploring the Adamawa Emirate, Benue River, and finally completing his most notable feat of circumnavigating Lake Chad, he died in Maduari, Chad.

Amazon deletes thousands of fake reviews
Some authors frustrated, others push for more vetting
(DAILYMAIL) — Amazon has started to crack down on thousands of fake book reviews that have popped up on the site in recent years.
The e-commerce giant will not say how many reviews it has erased so far and has declined to offer any public explanation, the New York Times reports.
Writers who rely on both fake and real reviews to sell copies of their books are crying foul as they take aim at Amazon.

Posted By Rich Miller On February 1, 2008 @ 9:45 am In Generators | Comments Disabled
Cummins (CMI) said strong sales of diesel generators in overseas markets boosted its fourth-quarter profit by 5 percent. Sales in Cummins' Global Power Generation unit surged 28 percent in the fourth quarter to $840 million, driven by strong gains "around most of the world" and significant growth in alternator sales in Europe and China.
The company said its power segment saw strong sales gains in virtually every line of business, led by a 31 percent increase in commercial sales and a 34 percent rise in alternator sales.
With its core market of truck sales lagging, Cummins has benefited from record sales of generators, supported by strong demand from the data center sector.
Cummins projected that its power generation will remain "extremely strong" in 2008, with demand being driven by global infrastructure needs. Cummins is positioned to benefit from its early commitment to China, one of the strongest markets for diesel engines. Cummins says it is the largest foreign investor in the China diesel engine industry.
The data center building boom has created backlogs for the large generators [1] that provide emergency backup power, with some facility operators reporting lengthy delays on new units of the most popular 2 megawatt models.

My Elvis Fan Story
My Elvis Fan Story
Tom and Carla
Charlotte Cook
Charlie Cook has been an international Elvis fan for over 20 years and tells her story of visiting Graceland for the first time on June 29, 2011. She currently lives in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
My first memory of Elvis is from a movie around the age of 7 or 8, and I first noticed this man, who I thought was very beautiful looking. I didn't know who he was at that time, but I remember that I didn't move from the TV until the movie was over. I found Elvis again a few years later. I was just coming into my teens when again, there was a movie on TV, and I saw that beautiful man. This time I knew it was Elvis and I fell in love. I remember spending my allowance on two cassette featuring his greatest hits and I still have them to this day. Since then my collection has grown.
From the age of 16, I had dreamed of going to Graceland. I would promise myself "in 5 years' time, I'll get there." Sixteen years later, I finally got to Memphis and the wonderful place Elvis called home. When people ask me what it was like, I find it difficult to answer since there are no words to describe the emotions I felt that day - but I knew I'd be back! My first experience of Graceland was an emotional one and I made notes that day which ended up being four pages long. Here's a recap of my dream trip to Graceland.
First, I couldn't believe I was actually at Graceland. We woke up at 6:00 a.m. and my friend drove myself and my friend Gracie to the mansion. As we turned onto Elvis Presley Boulevard, I saw the place and immediately filled with emotion.
During the morning walk-up, I couldn't stop looking at the mansion. So of course, I had my photo taken with Graceland in the background. We walked up to the Meditation Gardens and as we walked by the graves, well, we both started to cry. It was so moving and peaceful. I couldn't believe I was standing there looking at Elvis' resting place.
Once we wrapped up paying our respects, Gracie and I both left messages on the Graceland Wall for Elvis. Then it was off to tour! We had tickets for the VIP entourage package tour. First stop was the mansion. We walked up the pathway onto the porch, and the door was opened. As we walked inside, emotion hit us again like a freight train. We both gasped at the thought of being inside Elvis Presley's Graceland.
On the wall in the dining room was a lovely picture of Priscilla and Lisa Marie - what a deep respect and love he carried for them. We then ventured off the Trophy Room. Talk about WOW! Wall to wall gold records and cabinets full of trophies from all around the world! It was just amazing to see the mark he left on the world and his impact on the music business.
Then we went through to the
Racquetball Building
which houses even more awards and his legendary jumpsuits. This room has to be more than 30 feet high with floor-to-ceiling awards. Considering Elvis rarely left the states, he made a massive impact on the rest of the world, what an ARTIST!
After the gazing in amazement at all of his accomplishments, we made our way back to the Meditation Garden. Even though we had seen it during our morning walk-up, it was still emotional for us. Lisa Marie shared memories in the audio guide, talking about the reason Elvis was so popular all over the world. Lisa Marie said it was because of his amazing spirit and his ability to reach other people's spirit and touch them - powerful words. With "If I Can Dream" playing in our headsets, we both paid our respects again and sobbed our little hearts out.
I was quite disappointed to be going home after such an amazing trip at Graceland!, I still can't believe I was there, seems like such a distant memory now. I finally ful-filled my life-long dream since I was 16. I have so many memories to look back on from this experience. By the way, I had not even planned Elvis Week 2012 at this point. I clearly knew I was coming back!
I'm still discovering everything Elvis - music I haven't heard yet, clips I haven't seen. It's a journey of discovery I'm enjoying to the fullest!

I kicked off today by lecturing the early risers about living on South Georgia. I freely admitted that this was no easy task, given the wealth of experiences I enjoyed there, and as such I resorted to documenting a handful of outstanding events that conveyed the essence and colour of life on a research station in the sub-Antarctic. I was still talking on the hour mark, when Robin our Expedition Leader announced on the public address system that a General Emergency drill was about to commence for all crewmembers, and as such I had to promptly wrap up proceedings and toe the line. These routine drills are vital, familiarising the crew with the appropriate responses in the unlikely event of an emergency situation.
After the drill was successfully completed, our Executive Chef Marcus hosted a fruit and vegetable carving demonstration, allowing all an insight into the methods of creating art from edibles. The results, which of course we witness on a daily basis at the lunch buffet, astound the eyes and almost suppress the appetite, for how could one bring oneself to destroy such art by eating. I stress the "almost," for my appetite is a healthy one.
At lunch with guests, the conversation quickly settled on the afternoon's upcoming documentary, an account of an attempt to cross the Northern Atlantic Ocean from New York to Europe on a vessel made out of reeds. The aim of the voyage was to offer the possibility that ancient man could well have made such arduous voyages, the emphasis being on the west to east direction, as most at my lunch table could recall the two attempts made by Thor Hayerdahl (the second of which was successful), in what were known as the Ra expeditions, in the opposite direction.
If the minds of certain guests were elsewhere during the documentary, they could easily have been forgiven, for 16:00 was zero hour. The Panorama Lounge was murmuring, full for the finals of the Team Trivia competition. Today would decide who were the champions of fact, the masters of multiple choice or those who diligently sat up and took notes in lectures, recaps or indeed in everyday events over the last year. Jarda, our Assistant Expedition Leader, who took the honours in opening the Team trivia competition at the start of the voyage, rather fittingly completed the series. Today's topic was current affairs of 2010. Personally, I was lost in this round, for having lived on a relatively remote and isolated sub-Antarctic island for the last two years, I have somewhat missed out on many news events in the world at large.
The questions, though challenging, were better accepted than my fish trivia questions of yesterday, and the eight strong Anglo-American team ran out winners, closely followed by a four-strong British one. The prize? To commemorate the Tea-time slot that the Trivia occupies, a Silversea logo mug for each member of the winning team, not to mention bragging rights.
There wasn't much time to lose, for at 17:00 was Part 2 of our digital recap of the voyage. Kristine Hannon has worked tirelessly for the past three weeks taking photographs and film footage to record every aspect of what has been a most memorable trip. All watched with mouths agape, as we remembered all those special landings we made on South Georgia and the events of Tristan da Cunha, and the sights and sounds we were fortunate enough to witness. The voyage took on a dreamlike reality; we have seen and lived so much that it seemed like an eternity ago that we boarded the good ship in Ushuaia and made our way down the Beagle Channel bound for adventure.
At the end of the showing, a navigational chart specially painted by our Spa Manager Mariannne Otto, was auctioned off in aid of the crew fund. This fund acknowledges the crew for their hard endeavours and rewards them with outings on shore and equipment in their mess area to enrich their working environment. The guests always rise to the occasion, more than willing to acknowledge the crew that make their stay such a pleasant one.
At 19:00 I returned to The Theatre for the Captain's Farewell Cocktail party. Here, Captain Alexander Golubev marks the end of the trip by graciously recognizing both the crew and guest participation in the voyage. I joined four guests for dinner at The Restaurant, for tonight we were to be afforded the opportunity to sample potatoes grown in the Potato Patches of Tristan da Cunha, a prospect no Irishman could bear to miss; those very patches we had hiked out to see on our recent visit to the island.
Tomorrow I will see Cape Town for the first time, and bring to an end what I hope to be the first of many contracts on the
Prince Albert II
. To overuse the word, it has been a truly memorable time on board, and in every way a fitting end to this, my most recent visit to the Antarctic regions.

Vintage Bertha Gachupin Jemez Native American Pottery Vase
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $499.99
- Quantity Available: 1
Bertha Gachupin, "Thunder Flower", was born into the Jemez Pueblo in 1954. She is a full blooded Native American Indian and a member of the Zia and Corn Clan. Her pottery falls into the Pueblo category. Bertha was inspired to learn the art of making pottery by her Grandmother, Persingula Gachupin. She was also inspired artistically and economically to continue the family tradition of hand coiling pottery.
Bertha specializes in handmade corn stalk pottery. She has continued to use only traditional methods to make her pottery and has mastered the hand coiling, stone polish, and traditional firing needed to perfect her pottery.
Bertha's unique style is to use a buff or red slip on the pottery, then applies melon swirls that are carved into the her pottery. She then accents the finished product with corn painted designs to denote her clan origin. The pottery is then hand polished after firing. She signs her pottery as Bertha Gachupin, Jemez, followed by a corn symbol.
This piece is an older piece, with an estimated age of the 1970's to 1980's. The top of this piece is off center square instead of a round design, it has both a smooth finish and a non smooth finish. It is 6 1/4" tall and 3 1/4" across the mouth, the center of the vase is about 5" across. It is in excellent condition, no chips, does have very small spot where the paint is missing on the pattern, probably age related. Signed on the bottom with Bertha Gachupin Jemez and the corn stalk symbol.
A unique piece that would be an outstanding addition to your collection. Please see our other listings for additional pieces of vintage Native American Pottery. Shipping is less for combined purchases then the above quoted individual cost per item combined and will be adjusted after your order is placed.
