``I like to rush the puck or jump into the rush,'' Atkins said. ``I quarterbacked the power play last year at Holy Cross for my senior year. I try and get some offense going but at the same time be steady in every zone.''
Atkins scored six goals and 15 points in 30 games last year for the Crusaders. He trained hard over the summer in Brockville, Ontario, with his brother Tyler, who is going to training camp with the Central Hockey League's Denver Cutthroats, and best friend and goaltender Clarke Saunders, who is playing collegiately at North Dakota. It was nice to have someone to help push through the sprints and weight lifting.
``I'm a mixture of nervous and excited,'' Atkins said before the Komets' training camp started. ``It's my first pro experience, so I really don't know what to expect, but there are a lot of guys here who are in that mode. I've already met a bunch of guys coming out of college just like me, and so far it's been good so far.''
The crazy thing is that the Komets can only estimate how many open spots they have on the roster. They know they'll get some players from their affiliation with the American Hockey League's Norfolk Admirals, but they don't know how many for sure. There are also six players who will return from AHL camps at some point.
No one knows how many spots they are competing for or where they stand. They just know they have to keep playing.
``There's a bunch of guys here, and I don't think it does you any good to worry about everyone else and what they are doing and where they are coming from,'' Atkins said. ``You just go out and work hard and do what they want you to do, and hopefully it works out.''
The Komets need defensemen, especially ones who are big and can move the puck. Atkins might just sneak onto the regular roster, too.
``He's calm,'' veteran defenseman Tyler Butler said. ``I think it's the hardest position to transition from college to pro because you go from playing boys to men. They are going to have their bumps and bruises, but I'm 33, and I still have my bumps and bruises out there. It's part of playing 'D,' but they are pretty good. They can play.''The trash talk was flying Tuesday as the veterans finally showed up and engaged during the afternoon scrimmage. ... A shorter morning skate meant everybody had some legs left for the afternoon, and it showed immediately. ... There was a much faster tempo with the skates and the tongues, but with Brett Smith and Kaleigh Schrock on the same team, that's going to happen. ... Cory Schneider, Seth Ronsberg, Dan Nycholat, Matt Atsoff and Robbie Smith scored the goals. ... Matt Firman gets more aggressive with every shift and reminds some of Matt Syroczynski a little. ... The Smurf Line (what the coaches are calling them) of Brett Smith, Matt Atsoff and John Dunbar — 5-8, 5-9 and 5-8 — continues to impress. ... J.P. Chabot is a bull on skates. He got nailed a couple of times but seems to always keep moving forward. ... Tyler Butler is like Colin Chaulk in that he's always talking, teaching and encouraging on and off the ice. ... Ronsberg is getting better every day. ... Robbie Smith went head-to-head with Chaulk and never backed down. Smith is a very good defensive forward, so it's been interesting to watch. ... Stephon Thorne and Schrock went against each other a few times, neither giving an inch. All the rookies must think they hate each other. ... Larkin Saalfrank is also getting better in goal and is reacting quicker. ... Nycholat and Jeremy Gates had a very strong scrimmage as a defensive tandem. ... Dunbar may lead the world in shots taken this year. He gets the puck and it's gone. ... The scrimmage will be cut in half for a shootout. ... Goaltender Gerry Festa is always in control no matter what his defense is doing.

WHEN Brett Ferres was pushing through the ranks at Odsal, the Bulls were in the midst of a golden era.
They marched to five successive Super League Grand Finals, won three of them, and led the way on and off the field.
Tomorrow they are set to be relegated from the top flight on what promises to be an emotionally fraught occasion.
While Steve Ferres will be sat in the directors' box hoping for a Bradford victory, his nephew Brett could be sending them down.
"It's obviously a sad state of affairs over at Odsal, and I've taken no pleasure in seeing it at all," said the Huddersfield back-rower.
"I just hope that when their relegation is confirmed and they do go down, they can regroup, get some stability and come back stronger.
"They've now got the people running the club who I know will do a good job in getting the Bulls back on their feet. That obviously includes my uncle Steve who I speak to fairly regularly.
"He does send me cards every now and again – which all good uncles should – although there's never any money in them!
"But that philosophy of keeping hold of your cash is probably just what Bradford need right now. That's the key to re-building a successful Bradford club in the future.
"Unfortunately, what's happened to Bradford is the nature of sport, and I can't afford to show any sympathy towards them this weekend.
"I know as soon as I get out on the pitch tomorrow, the only thing I'll be thinking about is helping the Giants to start winning again."
Huddersfield are hurting badly after two heavy defeats at the hands of Salford and Castleford.
"We've not enjoyed these last couple of weeks and we're all determined to do something about it," said Ferres, whose side finished top of the table for the first time in 81 years last season.
"It's up to us as a group to make sure the rot stops now and we find a way to get back to playing the sort of rugby that brought us so much success last season.
"We're desperate to create a winning culture again, and when we start working together as a team we know that will happen. Hopefully, that'll start this weekend."
Ferres was forced to retire early with a knee injury during the win at Hull KR three weeks ago and he then suffered a cut head and rolled an ankle during last Friday's defeat at Castleford.
The 28-year-old, who enjoyed an impressive World Cup campaign with England last autumn, said: "You know when you step onto the field that the opposition are going to try and whack you and hurt you, although on the flipside you'll be trying to do exactly the same to them!
"I think this has been my time to get a few bumps and bruises but I'm fit and raring to go tomorrow."
Ferres is among a sizeable Huddersfield contingent which includes coach Paul Anderson with Bradford links.
The Giants boss, one quarter of the 'Awesome Foursome', said: "I don't think anyone in the game has taken any genuine pleasure in seeing what's happened to Bradford.
"I've certainly not enjoyed it. I had eight fantastic years there and those memories will last with me forever.
"The Bulls were obviously a trailblazer at the start of Super League, and being a part of it was a great experience.
"But I can't worry about Bradford at the moment because it's all about Huddersfield Giants for me.
"They're the ones who help me put food on my table and because we've not been playing well we need to start putting that right straight away."

As writers, we're known to seek comfort in the form of tea, complaining, and well, more complaining. It's part of the process, which as of late has been somewhat revolutionized with the software writing program, Scrivener.
If you follow authors on social media or have a critique group, you've probably already heard of it. Praised by mainstream media like The New York Times and tech publications such as Wired, The Seattle Times even went so far as to say that writers "swear by" Scrivener — which over the years has received awards from MacWorld and MacUser.
A self-proclaimed "content management tool," the software is designed to help writers "structure and compose" long documents such as dissertations, screenplays, essays and of course the ever-daunting novel. The "binder" section in the left navigational pane helps you find and edit specific portions of your document and hop to and from your research or other notes then back to your writing easily. Don't like where one scene or paragraph is placed? Drag and drop it into a new location; no need to waste time copying, pasting, and re-formatting your text. Last, but certainly not least, the virtual index card feature was created to help authors determine the best sequence for their work. Explains Allison Martin, who used the software to redraft her YA fantasy novel, plot a contemporary piece, and write a short story:
"Often while writing I'd have an idea for a future event or couldn't remember what I was leading up to in the scene I was writing. So I'd pop over to the corkboard and check or type a quick note in the side bar so I would remember. Being able to see a point-form version of my novel is extremely helpful for me. Scrivener catches all my tangents and afterthoughts and compiles them into neat and organized homes that I can go back to and actually understand what I meant in my notes."
Lauren Morrill, author of the upcoming young adult novel from Random House, Meant to Be, agrees about Scrivener's organizational merit.
"I like the way it forces me to think in parts of a novel: scenes, chapters, etc. Word is just one giant, endless blank page, which can be really scary."
Structure isn't the only helpful Scrivener provides. The often updated software offers an outlining tool, allows you to switch to scriptwriting mode for screen or stage play formatting, and even exports your document into the format you need for self-publishing.
That said, there are some drawbacks, notably the program's file exclusivity, meaning that it's not possible to pull one's Scrivener files into Word to do a read-through when not at your home computer. Although the company has stated on their website that they're "hoping to bring a scaled-down version of Scrivener to the iPad (and possibly the iPhone too) eventually," nothing has been announced just yet.
Those new to the software should heed advice from veteran users. Notes Allison Martin,
"Think of Scrivener as a 'writing software program' not as a 'word processor.' It's not like Word or Pages where you just start writing. It's meant to aid you in the ENTIRE writing process from research to outline to publication."
Lauren Morrill concurs, and also advises users to "watch YouTube videos" to really understand how it works before diving in. Otherwise you may run the risk of reaping more frustration than reward.
Speaking of one's experience with Scrivener, have you used it yet? If so, tell us what you think in the comments below.

Keep kids learning
Worried your kid forgets everything they've learnt when not at school? Here's how to keep their brain sharp. more
Choosing a family pet can seem like such a wonderful idea - before you actually do it. But if you haven't really thought through all the aspects of pet ownership, you can end up feeling that your pet is as much work as your children!
Before you rush out and bring home a whole bundle of trouble consider the following:
Before diving in, do your research: speak to a vet, an animal breeder, and friends who own pets before you settle on a particular animal. If you are thinking about getting a dog or cat, contact the Petcare Information and Advisory Service , who will take into consideration your family and lifestyle, before advising you on a suitable breed.

At the tail end of winter I look for bright and tart desserts that give a lift to all these decadent chocolates, cakes, and pudding we've been devouring to no end.
In comes Prospect, which you first heard about here, and this Passion Fruit Pavlova ($11). Little three-bite meringues are filled with whipped milk chocolate and paired with a sunny passion fruit cremeux. Alternate spoonfuls of silky cremeux with crisp meringue, and finish a bite with that topping of housemade kiwi sorbet.

Response to HPRAC on the Ministerial Referral on Interprofessional Collaboration among Health Colleges and Professionals
The Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) is the professional organization for registered nurses who practice in all roles and sectors across Ontario. Our mandate is to advocate for healthy public policy and for nursing. We are pleased to respond to the HPRAC consultation on issues related to the ministerial referral on interprofessional collaboration among health colleges and professionals. This submission by the Board of Directors of the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario was informed by the perspectives of our members, including two of our expert interest groups, the Community Health Nurses' Initiatives Group (CHNIG) and the Nurse Practitioners' Association of Ontario (NPAO).
Changes to HPRAC's Definition of Interprofessional Collaboration
• HPRAC proposes that any initiatives should be directed to finding ways to: "assist health regulatory colleges and their members to work collaboratively, rather than competitively, and to learn from and about each other through a process of mutual respect and shared knowledge" (p. 26). RNAO suggests that "rather than competitively" be removed, as it reinforces organized medicine's preoccupation with shared scopes of practice as inherently competitive.
• RNAO suggests that "patient" be replaced by "client" and defined as being "inclusive of individuals, families/significant others, groups, communities, and populations."
• RNAO suggests replacing "improve patient care" to "improve client-centred care". Changes to the Regulated Health Professions Act
• RNAO recommends access to the following additional controlled acts for the profession of nursing:
o communicating to the individual or his or her personal representative a diagnosis identifying a disease or disorder as the cause of symptoms of the individual in circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that the individual or his or her personal representative will rely on the diagnosis; o setting or casting a fracture of a bone or a dislocation of a joint;
o applying a form of energy prescribed by the regulations under this Act (i.e. RHPA); and dispensing a drug as defined in subsection 117 (1) of the Drug and Pharmacies Regulation Act
• Supporting interprofessional practice requires the government to act on CNO's recommendation to remove limitations on the following controlled acts currently authorized to RN(EC)s:
o prescribing;
o communicating a diagnosis;
o and administering a substance by injection or inhalation.
As well, it requires providing access to the following additional acts for RN(EC)s:
o setting or casting a fracture of a bone or a dislocation of a joint; o dispensing, selling or compounding a drug;
o and, applying a form of energy prescribed in regulations under this Act (i.e. RHPA).
Changes to the Public Hospitals Act and its regulations
• Allow RNs to work to their full scope of practice in hospitals settings.
• Allow RN(EC)s to work to their full scope of practice in an inpatient setting.
• Replace Medical Advisory Committees with Interprofessional Advisory Committees.
Changes to the Healing Arts Radiation and Protection Act
• To provide RNs with the authority to order X-Rays Changes to the Vital Statistics Act
• To provide RNs with the authority to sign the Medical Certificate of Death in situations when death is expected.
Liability Protection
• The critical issue that must be addressed is the adequacy of professional liability protection carried by all employers of health-care professionals.
• Those professionals, including the relatively few NPs and RNs who practice as independent contractors or are self-employed, should be fully informed about their professional obligation to clients. Requirements should be in place to ensure that these professionals maintain adequate liability protection reflective of their risk profile.
• The current coverage of $5M that is available through CNPS should be deemed sufficient for NPs practicing as independent contractors. Further, the $1M coverage for RNs is also an acceptable minimum requirement when practicing as an independent contractor.
• It is essential that interprofessional education begins within basic health science education curriculum and that it models interprofessional delivery of educational services.
• In order to fully realize the objectives of interprofessional care, funding for teams and compensation for all providers must recognize the unique contributions of each profession consistent with this team based approach to care.

Graham fine with starting season at Double-A
PEARL, Miss. -- J.R. Graham will start the 2013 season where he finished 2012, with the Double-A Mississippi Braves. And he's OK with that.
Graham, a hard-throwing right-hander ranked by MLB.com as the Braves' No. 4 prospect, could not have pitched any better during his stint in the Major League camp. He worked nine innings and didn't allow a run.
When the Braves assigned him to Double-A, Graham took it in stride.
"I know there was some talk about me making the big club, but that wasn't an issue with me," said Graham, who pitched for the Future stars in a 10-0 loss to Atlanta on Saturday. "I was happy to get the invite to camp and I just wanted to make an impression, pitch the way I know I can. I think I showed them what I can do."
Graham, a fourth-round Draft pick out of Santa Clara in 2011, went 3-1 with a 3.18 ERA for Mississippi last season after going 9-1 with a 2.63 ERA at High-A Lynchburg. Graham was a closer in college and pitched out of the Atlanta 'pen in Spring Training, but he'll start again for Mississippi.
"That's what they want me to do here and that's fine," he said. "I've done both [start and relieve]. I'm fine with either one, whatever gets me to Atlanta."
Graham pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings in Saturday's game, allowing a hit and a walk.

|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
- T helper bias [ Time Frame: 2008 ]T helper bias is a stable phenotype in people, with few environmental drives; the main environmental driver appears to be anti-CMV titer; this has led to our view that genetics probably plays a role, and our current GWAS efforts using our unique MESA-Inflammation cellular phenotypes.
- T helper bias toward Th1 cells [ Time Frame: 2008 ]T helper bias towards Th1 cells is strongly associated with measures of atherosclerosis in the population-based study MESA-Inflammation (both coronary calcification and carotid wall thickness) after fully adjusting for traditional and novel CVD risk factors. This is consistent with our original hypothesis, based on small human studies and mouse data.
- atherosclerosis [ Time Frame: 2008 ]Both IL-10 and sIL-2R are also associated with atherosclerosis in humans as we hypothesized.
|Study Start Date:
|July 2004
|Study Completion Date:
|June 2008
|Primary Completion Date:
|June 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Currently, the predominant hypothesis regarding atherosclerosis is that it is in major part driven by two independent pathways: hyperlipidemia (the "stimulation") and inflammation (the "response"). Although vascular cells mediate the influence of inflammation on atherosclerosis, very little is known about vascular cell epidemiology and the relationship of vascular cell phenotypes to atherosclerosis. The main hypothesis tested in this study is that variation in vascular cell biology is related to the population variation in atherosclerosis.
The cross-sectional study will be nested within a large cohort study, the Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). A partial sample of 1,000 individuals who have undergone other special laboratory analyses will be identified and new measures collected as part of their upcoming site visit. A number of novel cellular phenotypes describing the innate immune response (monocyte activation, natural killer and T cell counts), the adaptive immune response (TH1 and TH2 helper cells, and memory T cells), and vessel integrity (circulating endothelial progenitor cells) will be measured in these participants. Plasma constituents will also be measured that relate to the cellular phenotypes. The overall goal is to test the hypothesis that these novel phenotypes are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in the coronary and carotid arteries assessed by quantification of coronary calcification (CAC) and B-mode ultrasound (CIMT), in addition to the other subclinical measures available from the MESA cohort.

I have since purchased about a dozen Apollo artifacts through HA, and although I have also interacted with five other auction houses this year, HA stands head and shoulders above the rest. You would think Bonhams and such would try to differentiate on service, but only HA does. They make it difficult to bid online and to complete a transaction (good luck arranging your own shipper).
In fact, I cannot think of a better service-oriented firm, from any industry. Not Nordstrom, Blue Nile, or any other. I have interacted with countless people at HA over the past year, by email (172 times), phone and live bidding, and have had a quick, informative, helpful and confidence-building experience with every one.

Jared, you and Heritage treated me more than just professionally...you regarded my comic book pages with more than admiration...you understood that my comic pages represented my publishing career since 1948.
I am still producing, having just had published my auto-biography in three volumes and my first graphic novel, a Western based in the 1920's...I'm so fortunate to have my son Richard working with me to carry the torch!

Please also extend my compliments to your cataloging and marketing staff. The catalog was truly beautiful, and I was indeed pleasantly surprised to find that my consignment graced the cover. I'm sure that I also benefited from the prominent placement of my tea set in some of your impressive print advertisements in various national publications.
At every stage of the consignment process, I was reassured by your product knowledge and professionalism. I appreciate all that you did to ensure that my consignment realized the highest possible price, and look forward to working with you again in the future.

It is thanks to this kind of attitude, people like you and so many others in all the departments of Heritage !!! that Heritage is positioned where it is.
Neither Sotheby's or Christie's will even make an effort to amend mistakes which are by far much greater than the one occurred last Friday.
This is despite the fact that my partner Ronald Ooi, and I are paying millions of dollars in buyer's premiums alone to Sotheby's & Christie's; dozens folds of the business we are giving to you…
There are many things in the way Heritage is conducting business which are filling voids in the action world and are completely ignored by the two "giants" (and many others).
We have close relations with many of the world leading dealers and collectors of jewelry and other important departments. Everybody is fed up and waiting for something that is not "more of the same"…
We will ship most of the items to the Lalique museum in France, defiantly all the tableware. I'll let you know shortly.

On behalf of our client, Caroline Kennedy, I wish to thank you for all of your assistance in facilitating an appropriate resolution of the issues surrounding the John F. Kennedy, Jr. gloves. We appreciate your recognition of the legal and other concerns raised by the proposed auction of these gloves, and the professional way in which you made sure that those concerns were addressed before an auction proceeded.
Proceeding as you did not only avoided a potentially awkward legal situation for your gallery and any purchaser. It also facilitated the transfer of this historic personal item to the Kennedy Library, which all parties promptly recognized was where they belonged.
You and your gallery are to be commended for your professionalism and integrity in resolving this matter.

Again, Sue and I thank the three of you for your tremendous efforts and results you achieved.
Judson Ball , Scottsdale, AZ
This was our first experience with auctions, and your entire team has impressed us with the level of care and attention we have received. Sandra, Noah, Bryan, David… I can't begin to sing their praises enough! They are all jewels and you are fortunate to have them on board. I'm particularly pleased with Sandra's knowledge of and respect for the documents; and Noah's diligence in securing so many story placements in print, Internet and television outlets. I felt very confident that the collection was presented to the largest audience possible.
Last, but not least, thank you for changing your travel plans so that you could be present at the auction to ensure that everything went smoothly. There is no doubt that the Heritage family was the best choice for handling my mother's historic collection.
I hope our paths cross again and I wish you all the best.

There were so many coins, medals, sets, paper currency, etc. to catalogue! The way you grouped lots, photographed, and presented the material was too notch. I was impressed that you took the time to attribute coins to the Krause reference as their "plate coin" and that many of your descriptions included pertinent facts and information that added value to the sale.
The proprietary software Heritage uses is second to none for tracking auction activity from both a buyers and a sellers perspective. Bidding on the Internet via HA.com allows a fair (and exciting) venue for the final closing and sale of each lot; it has been a great addition to your other software and certainly compliments the auction process.
When all the bidding was over, almost all of the 6+ pages of material had many multiple bidders. vying to win their favorite lots with the overall results of this sale well exceeding expectations!
Your professionalism has been great and it was a pleasure working with you on this sale.
Mark Baskin , Fountain Valley, CA
"My wisdom in selecting Heritage was confirmed by the unbelievable prices that you realized on my behalf 274% of Bluesheet, totaling $741,155. The results were astonishing - - Heritage sold my coins for double the most optimistic price that I had dreamed of!

I do not know whom the Chairman or the Senior Executives of Heritage are, but they run an organization like it ought to be run. Everyone I came in contact with was courteous, helpful, professional, and best all, knew what they were talking about. Do you know how very rare that is?

Dad is down-sizing his collection of everything- art, guns, rugs, furniture, smalls, a fine English snooker table, etc. Kind of "everything must go" at some point in the future, It's not a "fire sale" and we are not in a big hurry, but we are starting the process of downsizing for my dad and mom. I will be helping him sell these items as time goes on.
If I would like to use Heritage in the future, what other types of items would you accept? That would be great information for me to know and explore. We have a local antiques guy who is helping us out with a few items, but I have a feeling we will be using more than one source to try to sell all these items in the best possible venue.
Thank you again Jim- please tell your team a big thank you and we are so happy with the results.

Jerod immediately contacted the seller, obtained a commitment for shipment, watched out for my purchase's arrival, and handled my special shipping request with aplomb, turning the piece around from receipt at your office to shipment to me within hours (I wanted to receive the piece by Saturday as I wanted it as a surprise to my wife before her surgery Tuesday morning, the day after Memorial Day).
Jerod also was pro-active. He informed me that my use of an e-check would delay the shipment as it needed multiple days to clear the bank, whereas a credit card purchase could be processed much faster. That pro-activeness enabled the quick turn-around I needed. When you consider that the prior owner accepted my bid on Sunday (one week ago), had to ship the piece to you, then it had to make its way to my home, getting this all done in just six days is remarkable.
I will not hesitate to recommend the use of Heritage Auctions to my friends and co-workers!
Joel Bion , Saratoga, CA
Perhaps the best part of my consigning experience has been my realization that all consigners, large or small, receive the same personal service and attention to detail at Heritage. I can recall how you spent time with me to select realistic reserves for all my coins. All those coins subsequently sold.
One event in particular cemented my trust in Heritage. That was when one coin purchased at a Heritage auction could not be crossed to another grading company's holder. Heritage numismatists examined the coin, identified the problem and submitted the coin to NCS on my behalf. Thereafter you shepherded the coin through the grading process and it crossed successfully.
Thank you for all your help and I look forward to working with you again on future consignments.

I ,too, enjoyed meeting you, watching you work and seeing all the people coming in to check their cherished pieces to for value, a bit of history or just curiosity. I did not mention this to you at the time but for many, many years I have wanted to become an antique appraiser or own an antique shop but never even attempted it because I was afraid of failing and so I just kept plugging away setting up trade shows which , to say the least, is no fun, not rewarding at all and not challenging in the slightest. My mothers death, my boring job, turning 43 yrs old , my dads poor health @83 yrs have been a factor in my decision to finally become an antique appraiser.
I am gay and been alone all my life , never really meeting anyone that made me go "wow". Then I met someone at work that I knew at once was the guy I was going to be with. I have no idea how or what I have done to deserve a handsome 19 yr old ( hold the jokes, ive heard them all lol) who is smart, funny, caring, kind, generous and treats me very well but I know my mother probably talked God into sending him to me when she got there lol. Anyway, his name is Emanuel and he asked me to marry him( now that it is legal) and of course I said yes. since I am getting ready to start this new chapter in my life I decided to finally do whatever I needed to do to become an antique appraiser .
Meeting you, watching you work and the process only made me more sure than ever. There were several things about you that I really thought were outstanding. The first being that you were not condescending or arrogant at all and treated me and everyone with courtesy and respect regardless of the value of their item. I must say that the single most important thing you did was that you included me in the appraisal. You did not pretend to know everything about every item ( I mean who can) and you sought out my opinion, my research, my personal appraisal and opinions. I felt so much better knowing that you and I came up with the appraisal together rather than you just rattling off a number to me. You performed the appraisal exactly the way I personally felt an appraisal should go. Thank you.
I will shut up and close this email with a simple request . Whenever you have time, cold you please give me your best advice , guidance and opinion on the best route for me to take to become a competent antique appraiser and any info on certification or licensing ? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again and I will be sending any and all research and if I can remember or find again a little later this morn .

Ron Cipolla , AZ
Today I received the catalog which is a work of art unto itself. When I found my lot I was literally blown away by what Craig had done with the presentation....... quite amazing to say the least!
Today many auction companies and their representatives make wild claims just to get a consignment......... and they rarely follow through. What Craig and Heritage have done far exceeds what was promised and for that I am grateful!
Now it will be fun anticipating the sale................. thanks again!

It was great to be able to watch the auction online. I still can't believe it. Although I didn't watch the whole auction, I was watching when my little belt came up for bid. I also just looked over the prices realized for the items. I'm sure that there are some mixed feelings there, especially since some of the "big ticket" items did not sell. I guess I'm just thankful to be one of the lucky ones tonight.
I don't know if it would eventually be possible to find out who the successful bidder on the belt was, but I would really like to find out, if possible. I keep telling my kids that I hope Greg Page (the former yellow Wiggle) bought it. (I was a huge Wiggles fan several years ago when my kids were younger, and they love to tease me about it). Really, I just hope that the belt eventually ends up on public display somewhere.

I know that Heritage is a force - obviously some brilliant and creative minds have been at work building/improvising its business model. It seems to me an enlightened kind of situation, because it is doing very well for itself by providing good service and genuine value to the clients who entrust it with things not only of value, but dear to them. Everybody donws that any powerhouse is only as good as it's people.

When we were initially considering how best to liquidate these coins, we spoke to Lee Schaaf at the FDIC. Your expertise came highly recommended. Now I know why. The careful handling of the consignment, the energetic promotion to collectors and dealers through advertising and direct mail, the smooth organization of the sale and, of course, the stunning results stand as a testament that your reputation is well deserved. The next time another liquidation like this one comes along, I will certainly recommend Heritage Numismatic Auctions, Inc. with complete confidence. Thank you for a thoroughly diligent and professional job.

The staff at Heritage are amazing to work with. My wife and I were given the "red carpet treatment" from the moment we walked in. We felt safe and secure the moment we arrived.
Their knowledge and expertise in the coin market has been very valuable when one decides to part with some or all of their collection. The auctions actually yielded way more than their pre sale estimates, which makes me feel very warm and fuzzy inside.
Thanks for everything.

The coin I consigned to the signature sale sold for over double the price of my reserve. When I heard the hammer price of the coin, I could not believe it!
I highly recommend Heritage Auctions, Inc. to anyone consigning coins. Their catalogues are superior in quality and design; the history of the consigned coins is excellent, interesting and informative and the Internet is very helpful! I feel Heritage Auction, Inc. has some of the best people in the industry working for the company, from the management down to those helping you view the coins.

After hearing about Heritage auctions, I decided to give them a call as I wanted to consign some collectables (coins) and left a message. A person answered back after a few days and did not seem too interested but just told me to send the coins to so and so address. I was not satisfied with the reply and did not heed. After a month I tried again and chose Jim instead and he called back the same day and was really eager and charming. Jim explained to me all the ins and outs of the consignment and would repeatedly ask if I had other questions and if not now, do not hesitate to pick the phone up and ask as many times whichever question I had. I knew at once this was a perfect professional, even more!
I at once packed a big box of slabbed coins and mailed it out to Dallas care of Mr Jim Jelinski. Once the coins were there, Jim informed me right away and was on it thereforth. During the course, I pounded Jim with so many questions and he never once made me feel awkward or silly but answered sometimes again and again the same questions with full attentiveness and delicacy that was really impressive. Those are the kind of Americans that had at one time impressed the globe although now few to find.
Now I have sent my second batch and will be preparing a third. Jim and I have developed more a son - father type relationship as he also coaches a hockey team and we here in Canada are hockey fanatics. Jim is very knowing and caring - a huge asset to Heritage Auctions and a prize for the clients. I thank you for being such that you are and may more be born like you in the future to come.

Thanks again for all your hard work, advertising, promotion, etc. Your auctioneer also did a BEAUTIFUL job "talking up" the ball...we were really impressed with her, and thankful as well. Tell her "thank you" for us. Thanks to ALL of you, from the bottom of our hearts!!!

Your team did an excellent job supporting every step in the process. Pre-bid advertising exceeded our expectations. Your photography team, that took the photos for the advertising catalogues and on-line advertising, made sure every piece was presented in the best representation of the original fine art or photograph. Your team, also, respected our desire to keep our company's identity low key in order to minimize inquiries or calls that would have been disruptive during the auction process.
But most of all, we were pleased with the amazing outcome, which we are certain was possible because of the passion and care you had for the fine art and photo collection and the ability to attract both local and international bidding audience. The partnership of your team with our internal staff drove results that exceeded all of our expectations and was well recognized at our highest executive management level.

All of that exposure ended up driving the price of the auction to the amazing amount of $95,600 dollars with the buyer's premium. I have no doubt in my mind that Heritage Auction Galleries is by far the most professional and robust organization of its kind in the market. I would recommend your services to anyone who was considering auctioning collectibles. From you, Joe Fay, to the auctioneer who sealed the deal with a touching and emotional introduction of the book and my story, you all did an outstanding job! Once again, I can't thank you enough for all you have done.

In a professional and friendly manner, you were particularly helpful in helping me to decide which items might be appropriate for auction. You guided me through every step of the process and kept me informed about pertinent listings and dates of the auctions. Furthermore, your approximated monetary value assessment for the items was quite accurate. Because of our interactions by phone and email, I have been entirely comfortable that the items would be handled in a way which preserves their historical value.
There have now been two auctions that contained items I have consigned. In both events, I was extremely pleased with how the items were presented online and in your catalogs. Your company's research was much more thorough than my own so I learned much that I hadn't known previously.
In October, one last document that I left in your care will be auctioned. But you can be assured that if I possess other items worthy of auction, you would be the first person I would contact.

I got to thinking about this and was again reminded of how important it is that all of us make it a point to communicate to others our appreciation for their good services or products. All too often we're quick to criticize a man for his imperfections, and totally deficient in praising him for his good works.
I am most pleased in the manner in which Heritage Auction Company performed regarding the sale of my antique UMC Cartridge board at your Dallas auction on Dec, 14, 2014. When we first met at my home you recognized the uniqueness of the board and offered excellent analysis and insight as to its marketability. At that time you also provided encouragement by sharing with me the tremendous and loyal following that Heritage has cultivated over the years among its bidder's base. It quickly became apparent to me that Heritage had a base from which it was able to draw serious and capable buyers.
Certainly much of the success we realized on sale day was due to the condition of the cartridge board itself. Over the years I have seen many, but this one was truly outstanding. Its color, condition and completeness was unsurpassed. Even the label from the manufacturer was still present on the paper on the backside of the board. I believe that the new owner may correctly consider himself to now be the owner of one of the finest, if not the finest cartridge boards in the country. No question that it is an investment grade piece. Having said that, none of these features would have been appreciated by the bidding public had they not been adequately disclosed and described in the auction catalogue. Good cataloging and lot descriptions are critical. Thank you so much for your fine placement of the photograph of the Cartridge Board and the detailed lot description you provided in the catalogue. Also, it certainly helped to have it featured in a full page photograph on the inside of the rear cover. All of this resulted in a sale price that exceeded the projected estimated amounts. Excellent work!
Thanks again to you and best wishes for an enjoyable new year,

So, yep Frank, thank you for all you did to find The Texas Queen its new home....and obviously it has found a fine new home as evidenced by the price the new owner was willing to pay. I'm a firm believer that great works of art are simply on sort of a cosmic loan,never really owned. They just choose a nice individual who they are convinced will care for them well, and they sit down for a spell. I had the privilege of loving and daily enjoying the painting for all the years I had it in my care. The Texas Queen must have appreciated my husbandry; it paid me a great compliment by causing such a stir in the art community and rewarding me so handsomely.
And it is not lost on me that your fingerprints are all over the success of the sale. You took exceptional care in promoting the painting, getting the word out, giving the artwork more than ample attention. That the sale was a world record is very much a result of the effort and care you put into the sale and should be considered a salute to you.

Aviva guided me through each and every step of the selling process and made suggestions that she thought would benefit the sale of my painting. She had gained my complete trust, so following her advice was a no-brainer. And WOW, did it pay off! Overall, this was an extraordinary experience; one that I would gladly do again! Thank you, Aviva, thank you Heritage Auctions!

I remember being nervous before meeting Leo Frese and David Mayfield. They met me at my bank to appraise the collection and I was immediately put at ease when they exhibited the same enthusiasm for coins that I had always felt from my husband. They did not pressure me and acted with great courtesy and professionalism.
All but one of the consignable coins have been sold. And when I am ready to let go of the 1856 flying Eagle, I will call you. I have the highest regard for your company and look forward to doing business with Heritage in the future.

Having the opportunity to post our art auction items online resulted in us raising more money than ever for our agency. This is critical when funding for our programs are harder than ever to obtain. The programs we provide directly impact our community, but we depend on the generosity of others to make it happen. It has been such a pleasure working with Stephanie and we are thankful for the chance to let others see the amazing artwork that was created or donated from the heart to help the youth from primarily low-income families from our community that struggle to overcome some serious issues.
We are so thankful for the chance to be one of the select non-profits that partner with Heritage Auctions and to work with Stephanie and the team at Slocum. We look forward to the chance to work with Heritage Auctions again in the future.

I just read a long piece on the anniversary of the Ali-Liston fight so your sports auction results featuring the gloves from the fight and Ali's letter to the draft board stopped me in my tracks. Good stuff. And the Lombardi story is so appealing on so many levels, especially here in Wisconsin.
Your By The Numbers feature is a winner. And I'm going to steal your 1943 treatment on page 12. You've been warned. By the way, tell your designer "nice job" on the Warhol treatment of the TV celebs on page 50. Good choice.
Congratulations, Hector. And thanks for the great read. Oh yeah, excellent choice of cover stock. Perfect.

Special thanks for the handling the estate of my beloved grandfather, Jack L. Klausen. His passing was a confusing and challenging time. As you know, my grandfather had been a coin dealer for over 40 years. Fortunately, for us, he had planned to place his collection with Heritage in his remaining days.
From the consigning with Bob Merrill, the cataloging by Bob Korver, to the personal updates from you, I felt comfortable with the handling of such an important collection. The advertising was ample and the catalog descriptions from the legendary pioneer gold expert, Donald. H. Kagin, PhD, spoke volumes of the quality that Heritage had to offer.
The auction results exceeded our expectations and the settlement was prompt. I would not hesitate to use your services again or recommend them to someone else.

I also want to mention Matt Orsini. I wanted some advice on how to reinvest my Consignment proceeds and he was very helpful. He gave me some general areas on which to focus and also some specific lots to consider. He also immediately responded to any of my requests. My current area of focus is new to me and I found his help very valuable.
I'm very pleased to be working with Jason and Matt and look forward to doing so in the future.

Then, we met Sarah Miller at Heritage Auctions in New York. Sarah is a gem. She was friendly and kind but also had a knowledge of coins that was astounding. Just looking at them, she was absolutely accurate about the most minute detail about each coin before even looking it up. And there were not just run-of-the-mill coins but very rare ones as well.
She appraised them at the same cost as the dealer in our home town which was reassuring but also told us that by selling with HA, we would be selling to the world, with lots of marketing so we had a chance to make more than what the home town dealer was willing to offer us (so he'd make a good spread.) She set us a ease and set us up to win. She knew certain coins would do better if they were CAC certified but she told us not to waste our money on certifying others that would not make a difference.
The HA website was so easy to use and we could see the pre-auction bids coming in, which was exciting. Sarah had suggested we wait to sell the coins at one of the best coin conventions in the US. The day of the live auction, I was traveling but with the HA website, was able to live-stream the auction and watch our coins sell.
From start to finish, HA, and Sarah Miller in particular, made this process smooth and actually fun. Sarah answered every question I had before, during and after the auction and HA updated me constantly about the status of my lot (including when I would be paid).
During such a rough time for our family, Heritage Auctions and Sarah Miller took one thing off our plate and treated my parents legacy with the utmost respect and dignity.
Thank you, Sarah and HA!

I have copies of the strips which I plan to frame and put back on the wall where the originals were. Underneath I will frame a copy of the coming Heritage check with a notation: "I used to have the originals of these - this is why I don't anymore". Little old ladies like me seldom have windfalls like this. I'm taking your advice and hope to take a trip (or 2) to places I've always wanted to see and never thought I would. I'll be 83 in September so it's now or never.... thanks to you, Heritage, Charles Schultz and John Dirks - IT'S NOW !!
I hope you and your lady have found a lovely home in Dallas. Fill it with love and laughter for as long as you can (love being the key word here). I feel as if I know you personally so you should know that you and your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers. You'll forever be streaming bestest hopes and joyful wishes.

As always, the book auctions continue to be well listed & described. The prices they are bringing have also been quite nice. I am so excited about the upcoming aviation & rare music auction!
Everyone who has come to the house has been professional, as well as warm and friendly. In fact, everyone at the HA preview was equally nice.
We have also have become more educated about antiques from HA, an unexpected perk. And we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to HA for a preview auction just to see how it all works.
Don't just think I am just a sweet person who always says nice things. I complain loudly when I have poor customer service. So, I feel if I complain loudly, I also should also give compliments where compliments are due. Heritage Auctions definitely deserves many compliments!

When I decided to liquidate my collection in order to be able to send my two daughters to college, I began to research how best to accomplish this task. Every other collector I spoke with had only good comments when it came to Heritage. After a year of exploring, it became obvious that your firm was the finest in its field.
Heritage examined the inventory list I had sent and had accepted it for auction in its entirety. Heritage has been incredibly helpful and patient with me and my many questions, and I owe him a great you of gratitude.
Your work has been incredibly helpful and informative.
I would be remiss if I did not express my thanks for the catalogue you sent me which contained my six books that were in the November Signature Auction held November 13-15, 2008. This beautiful book will allow my daughters and eventually their children to see what their grandfather did for a hobby. This really means a great deal to my wife and me.
In closing, I again want to thank everyone at Heritage. I have more books that I will consign when the books I previously sent have been auctioned off. I look forward to the future auctions of our comics. Continued success to everyone at Heritage and know that I am most appreciative of your greatest asset, your professionalism.

I am quite pleased with my first experience with Heritage as a consignor and look forward to the upcoming Space collectibles Auction and next year's rare book auction where I will be consigning as well. Thank you so much for all your guidance and assistance throughout the auction process. Your comments and explanations really helped to answer every concern my inlaws had expressed. I look forward to working with you again in the future sometime.
James M. Sigler
Jim is not only there for me during auctions but also for anything else I need coin-wise. A little over a year ago I had a coin (purchased before I began working with Jim) that was in a major grading service MS63 holder but was in fact tooled. Jim and Heritage helped shepherd the coin through a back and forth with the grading service (at one point they mistakenly believed the coin to be counterfeit) until a satisfactory conclusion was reached. Jim and Heritage spent I don't how many hours on this without hesitation. What fantastic customer service! Of course when the time comes to sell Jim will be the one I'll call.
I would highly recommend building a collection with Jim's input. Not only will you have a better collection, but you'll enjoy working with a friendly and interesting person who has your best interests at heart.

I wish to thank you for everything. I can not imagine getting better treatment, from beginning to end, anywhere else.
This experience felt like an alliance with friends who happen to be professionals. I worked with a very special group. They, and I can easily assume, all their company, are personable, professional and thoroughly knowledgeable.
This is an important process. Being professional, when handling your precious property, is paramount, and they are. Everything is organized. They've done this many times and do it well. These are hands I trust.
As for numbers, they will weigh in on the conservative side for auction results. This is a good thing so you won't be let down. In reality, no one can predict an auction.
Heritage Auctions is very well keyed into the evolving market place, what better exposure can anyone ask for? With detailed personal attention given to placement, advertising, descriptions and photography, the end result in hammer prices was excellent and far exceeded our expectations.
With deepest gratitude and appreciation,
We wish you continued success,

During our initial meeting, your depth of knowledge and expertise inspired confidence, and made my decision to consign to Heritage an easy one. My confidence in Heritage was reaffirmed when I received the catalog in which my consignment was featured. The catalog cover was simply beautiful, the images of consigned items were of superb quality, and the auction lot descriptions clearly conveyed the important details of each item.
While I appreciated your professionalism and the quality of your catalog production, I was most pleased with the prices that my consigned items realized in your auction. Several highlights come to mind: a Gallé vase realized over $55,000, a tea set realized over $31,000, and a single silver spoon realized over $5,000! These prices greatly exceeded my expectations. I was extremely pleased with prices realized, to say the very least.
Once again, thanks to all at Heritage Auction Galleries for your excellent service, and most of all, for outstanding results.

I had several lengthy conversations with the director of your Americana department, and found myself feeling very comfortable with his knowledge of the material and his ideas for how Heritage could effectively handle it. We agreed on an auction plan, and three more Heritage staffers flew up to help through literally a houseful of material to select and inventory the best items for auction. In the end, there were over five campaign items, fine art, World War 1 collectibles, antique firearms, and more.
He gave me what he called his "seat of the pants" estimate of what he though the material would bring, and as we near the end of the process it seems he was right on the money. I have been terribly impressed by how effectively my items have been presented in your catalogs, and by the fact that less than 1% of the items have failed to sell. Clearly your people know their business.
This has been in some ways an emotional and stressful process for me, but you have been wonderful in explaining each stage and addressing any questions or concerns I may have had. I feel like my husband's much-loved collections have been treated with the utmost care and expertise, and I am so grateful to Heritage for creating nothing but positive memories for me of the auction experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Heritage to any other potential consignor, particularly someone like myself who had minimal knowledge of the material, and had to essentially place myself in your hands. Thank you very much for in every way meeting my expectations.

The professional manner in which your company was able to successfully sell the Oceanfront home at 118 Ocean Boulevard on the Isle of Palms was impressive, from the beginning to the closing. Heritage's gathering, dissemination and coordination of information and marketing was remarkable. Above all, your communication to the seller and this agency was extraordinary. Also, noteworthy, this sale represents the highest price achieved for an Isle of Palms oceanfront home in over two years.
M Randolph Walker , Charleston, SC
After Heritage takes its 10% of the total, allowing for the two coupons I submitted for two of the coins, I will, by my calculations, make a handsome profit. I am very satisfied with Heritage.

CHEPSTOW Racecourse hosted its own special Easter event on Monday.
It put on its own Easter Family Funday and entertainment at the racecourse included a Panic Circus, a reptile pen, an Easter petting zoo, a balloon modeller, donkey rides, face painters and human statues, along with eight horse races.
The executive director of the racecourse, Phil Bell, said he is now hopeful there will be a race meeting there every Easter Monday for the next few years.
He said: "We had about 5,000 people here, and 1,000 children, which was encouraging for the future. We had lots for the children here and all the entertainment was free.
"A lot of people who came here didn't see a horse, they just went on the bouncy castle."
As part of the festivities, 1,000 T-shirts with the South Wales Argus and Chepstow Racecourse logos were given away.
And staff and children from St Mary's School in Chepstow also had a stall to raise money for a charity appeal.
There will be another Family Funday at the racecourse on the August Bank Holiday, August 25.
Meanwhile, about 800 people enjoyed the festivities put on at Raglan Castle, which ranged from Easter egg hunts to archery trials and a full scale battle re-enactment.
And an Easter Medieval experience was held at Caldicot Castle over the weekend.
Any visitors this week can get free entrance to the courtyard from Wednesday until Friday from 11am until 3.30pm but the castle is closed so its cafe, bar and other indoor areas can be refurbished.
