Vantage Yacht Club Commissions Yacht Build for Fractional Ownership Program in Chicago(0)
Vantage Yacht Club Commissions Yacht Build for Fractional Ownership Program in Chicago
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) December 16, 2011 Vantage Yacht Club, the premier fractional club offering shared yacht ownership and creator of the Yacht Card, announced an addition to their fractional fleet today with the order of a new 2012 Sunseeker Portofino 48 from Great Lakes Sunseeker dealer Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales.
“We are excited to introduce our members to one of the most sought after yachts in the world,” said Jason De Palma, President of Vantage Yacht Club, “Vantage has charted a course to deliver the best-of-the-best and the Portofino 48 is positioned at the pinnacle of its class.”
To be christened “Game Changer,” the Portofino 48 is being offered in the Vantage Yacht Shares program and features a rich deep blue hull, fifty-three feet in overall length, joystick controlled Volvo IPS pod drives, retractable carbon fiber hardtop, lifting swim platform, teak cockpit with extended seating configuration, high-gloss cherry wood cabin and a full-beam owner’s suite with vast windows on both port and starboard sides. Including virtually every available factory option, her cost to construct and transport from the Sunseeker factory in England is nearly .4 million.
Sunseeker is known to hand build a limited number of yachts each year. With only thirty-five Portofino 48 models scheduled for production in 2012 and a full order book, “Game Changer” will be a rare and distinctive complement to the yachting community in Chicago.
Although her official launch ceremony will take place on the Chicago River in May 2012, “Game Changer” will be completed and placed in British waters March 2012. Vantage Yacht Club Members will have the opportunity to join their group on a journey through London for a tour of the Sunseeker factory in Poole, England. “As the most tenured Sunseeker dealer in the States, I have been to the factory hundreds of times,” said Greg Krueger, President of Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales, “it is truly a remarkable experience that Vantage Members will cherish for a lifetime.” Vantage Members who make the voyage will meet naval architects, executives and personally witness how these marvels of design and technology are dreamed and constructed. In addition, the four Members who secure a Portofino 48 fractional position will have the opportunity to visually inspect and sea trial their new sport cruiser on the English Channel.
Vantage Yacht Club and the Yacht Shares program will be showcased at the Progressive Chicago Boat Show at McCormick Place on January 12 – 16 and at the Progressive Strictly Sail Show at Navy Pier on January 26 – 29. Vantage is raffling complimentary passes to the boat shows to those who “Like” Vantage Yacht Club on Facebook.

World’s Fair of Money Comes to Chicago: Smithsonian Gold National Treasures and Treasury Department $100,000 Bills on Display(0)
World’s Fair of Money Comes to Chicago: Smithsonian Gold National Treasures and Treasury Department 0,000 Bills on Display
Rosemont, IL (PRWEB) August 08, 2011 Seldom-seen national treasures from the Smithsonian Institution will be displayed for the first time in the Chicago area at the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money(SM) in the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Hall F, in Rosemont, August 16 – 20, 2011. The five-day educational, family event showcasing over billion of the world’s most famous rare coins and colorful paper money will be open to the public.
Eye-opening, multi-million dollar exhibits include a unique, Gold Rush-era 1849-dated “Double Eagle” ( denomination) and other historic gold coins from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. The U.S. Treasury Department Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s “Billion Dollar Display” will feature 0,000 bills and other rare, high-denomination antique currency. An extensive exhibit of century-old Illinois bank notes from private collections, never publicly displayed together before now, traces the financial history of the state.
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many people to see these extraordinary, valuable treasures in person,” said Larry Shepherd, Executive Director of the nonprofit, 30,000-member American Numismatic Association (http://www.money.org). The Congressionally chartered association is dedicated to educating and encouraging people to study and collect money and related items.
“Money is history you can hold in your hands,” said association President Clifford Mishler of Iola, Wisconsin. “You can see everything from a half-cent to a 0,000 bill at this event, even a .5 million 1913 Liberty nickel a Milwaukee man used to carry in his pocket to show to strangers. There will be educational seminars, exhibits and children’s activities with free prizes.”
In addition to buying and selling items ranging from to million, many of the 1,000 professional coin and currency dealers attending the show will provide free, informal appraisals for the public’s old coins and paper money.
The Smithsonian’s exhibit, “Good as Gold: America’s Double Eagles,” tells the story of the USA’s denomination gold coin. It includes the unique, first-such-coin struck in 1849 during the early days of the Gold Rush, and an example of the famous 1933 Double Eagle like the ones involved in a recent federal court case. It’s the only time this exhibit from the National Numismatic Collection in Washington, D.C. is scheduled for display in Illinois.
The fascinating billion Bureau of Engraving and Printing educational display includes two dozen 0,000 currency notes, the highest denomination paper money ever made by the U.S. government, and demonstrations of a Civil War-era, one-ton, hand-turned money printing press.
Representatives of 15 government mints from around the world will showcase their country’s money, and Stack’s Bowers Galleries will conduct a public auction of rare coins.
The World’s Fair of Money will be in Hall F of the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, 5555 N. River Rd., Rosemont, Illinois. Public hours are Tuesday through Saturday, August 16 – 20, 2011, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily. General admission is . Children 12 and under are admitted free.

Elixir Interactive CEO Fionn Downhill Presenting at SES Chicago(0)
Elixir Interactive CEO Fionn Downhill Presenting at SES Chicago
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) October 7, 2010 Elixir Interactive President and CEO, Fionn Downhill, is scheduled to speak at two sessions during the SES Chicago Conference and Expo. Downhill will speak about Online Reputation Management and about Digital Asset Optimization during the three day industry event.
This search and social marketing convention takes place October 18-22, 2010 at the Hilton Chicago. It offers over 70 panel sessions, training workshops and an industry expo. The event has something for all skill levels on subjects including search engine optimization, link building, social media, PPC management, site usability, mobile search, and much more.
Downhill is excited about the prospect of speaking at SES. Earlier this year Elixir Interactive published a case study detailing an ongoing attack on their company’s online reputation. Downhill will be sharing insights and tips from the case study during her presentation on Brand, Trademark & Reputation.
“I’m looking forward to sharing our results with the larger search community,” Downhill remarked. “The campaign against our company was very focused and persistent. It underlined just how easy it is for someone to use false accusations to damage a reputation. The strategies we developed to combat this attack can help others who are the subject of similar attacks.”
The Reputation panel will be held on Day 1 of the Conference, October 19, 2010. In addition, Downhill will be drawing on her years of experience in search engine optimization to present on Digital Asset Optimization on Day 3 (October 21st). She will also be moderating a panel entitled “Selling Search to the C-Suite,” also on October 21st.
