An amazing course on 'Outstanding Teaching in History (Primary)' Our course leader, Saroj Bell, was nothing short of inspirational. The course armed me with the skills, knowledge and understanding to put a plan in place for CPD training for the whole staff within my school setting. I would recommend Creative Education to any educator who wants to further their development. A truly remarkable experience. And it doesn't stop after the course- support is ongoing. Nothing is too much to ask- this is a training business with teachers and educators at the forefront of what they do! Zac Blinston (Year 3 Teacher and Humanities Co-ordinator)

NEWARK, Del. – The VCU Rams dropped the rubber match in the Sunday finale with Delaware, with the Blue Hens taking the game by a score of 6-2.
Delaware improves to 19-18 on the year, including 11-7 in CAA play, while VCU drops to 19-17 and 7-11 in league games.
"It was just a situation where we didn't take advantage of some opportunities that were granted to us early in the game," said VCU associate head coach Shawn Stiffler. "Delaware did a good job, our starter was out of the zone and they did a good job of being patient and coming through with some timely hits. We had a situation get off the field in the second inning, but couldn't get off the field. They did a good job of getting some early runs and making us play catch-up the rest of the way.
The Rams pulled ahead early, scoring one run in the top of the first inning. Sophomore outfielder Bill Cullen laced a triple to left center to get things going. With the triple, the Colonial Heights, Va., native now owns the VCU single-season record for triples in a season, with nine. Cullen (pictured right) came home to score on a sacrifice fly to center by junior infielder Jordan Weymouth.
The Blue Hens came right back with a pair of runs off VCU freshman pitcher Heat Dwyer in the bottom of the inning.
VCU had a chance to knot the score at 2-2 in the top of the second, as senior Taylor Perkins led off with a single up the middle. After an infield popup for the first out, Perkins worked an errant throw from the Delaware pitcher on a pickoff attempt, which allowed Perkins to advance to second. Perkins took third on a groundout to the right side. The Dinwiddie, Va., native would end up stranded on the bases, following a groundout to the shortstop.
Delaware added to its lead in the bottom of the second, pushing across four runs in the frame, extending their lead to 6-1.
The Rams cut the deficit to four, following a solo home run to left field by junior infielder Nick Kime in the top of the fifth inning. It marked the first home run of the season for Kime.
VCU had the chance to cut into Delaware's lead even more in the top of the eighth inning, with the bases loaded and just one out. Delaware relief pitcher Devon Pearson fanned one VCU batter for the second out, before forcing a groundout to the third baseman to end the inning.
The Rams went three up, three down in the top of the ninth, to close out the contest and the regular season series with the Blue Hens.
Dwyer takes the loss for the Rams, allowing four runs on four hits. VCU senior pitcher Kyle Pelchy turned in an impressive performance out of the bullpen throwing six complete innings and allowing just four hits. Junior pitcher Blake Hauser came on in the eighth to record the final defensive out for the Rams, striking out Delaware's Cameron Travalini.
The Rams will continue play on the road this week, traveling to Longwood this Tuesday for a non-conference contest.
"We just have to keep progressing and playing well," added Stiffler. "It's an in-state rivalry game for us and we just have to go out and pitch and play well, and continue to move forward."

If the sharp, angled footwork and high-stepping ensemble precision of Irish step dancing is like a tightknit Broadway hoofing routine, the even older Irish dance form of sean-nós is akin to jazz tap, a more intimate and traditionally solo form improvised to music in the spontaneity of the moment. And in the way that "Riverdance" popularized Irish step dancing in a theatrical context, a new show called "Atlantic Steps" may help spread the excitement about sean-nós. With six dancers and five musicians, "Atlantic Steps" sails into the Berklee Performance Center for two shows Saturday as part of a US tour, and as the title suggests, it's a production that has creative roots on both sides of the ocean.
An international touring adaptation of the popular Irish show "Fuaim Chonamara," "Atlantic Steps" is the brainchild of its charismatic 27-year-old star, Brian Cunningham, whose Connemara family of young dancers has been on the forefront of the sean-nós revival. Compared with the more regimented steps and stylized upper body of Irish step dance, sean-nós is more casual, loose-limbed, and spur-of-the-moment, playing off the energy, mood, and rhythms of the music while creating a vibrant rhythmic tapestry in the footwork. The influence of sean-nós (which literally means "old style" and is pronounced "shawn NOss") can be seen in American forms such as clogging, jazz tap, and soft shoe.
Within the past decade, young dancers like Cunningham have been on the forefront of a sean-nós resurgence, committed not only to preserving the steps and traditions, but to reinvigorating the style with new energy and fresh ideas. Cunningham describes himself as a man on a mission. "I want to tell the story and do my family proud," he says from Chicago, where he has taught Irish dance for the past two years. His brogue is thick and his thoughts come fast and furiously, a young man's enthusiasm for his passion evident in his cadences. "This is not just about me and about Connemara, but about the story going back 250 years, the culture, the people who lived on an island, were religious, and believed in each other and worked hard. They created their living off the land, and what kept them going was music, song, and dance, and that's sean-nós."
On this side of the Atlantic, Irish-American dancer Kieran Jordan has been a major figure in the US revival of sean-nós, a form that girls and women have begun to dance only recently. A longtime fixture of Boston's lively Irish music and dance scene as a performer, teacher, and choreographer, she is co-director and choreographer of "Atlantic Steps." Jordan, who is also co-director of Boston Percussive Dance and dance director for "A Christmas Celtic Sojourn," started Irish dancing when she was 5 and danced competitively growing up. A Philadelphia native who studied in Ireland as well, she has developed a distinctive personal style that combines traditional Irish step technique with improvised percussive dance, an innovative aesthetic that dovetails with the improvised style of sean-nós. Jordan choreographed the ensemble numbers in the show and assembled the six dancers for the tour, including step dancer Kevin Doyle and tap dancer Ayan Imai-Hall. The musicians include vocalist Máirín Uí Chéide and accordionist Sean McComiskey.
Vincent Crotty, Jordan's husband, created the set design for the show. He's originally from County Cork, Ireland, but has lived in Boston for the last 23 years, and his "Atlantic Steps" imagery traces the history and import of Irish dance, from early village social life through immigration to America, with its host of international influences. Converted to digital images, Crotty's paintings are projected to set different scenes for the show: ocean waves, dawn on the turf bog, the interior of an Irish cottage, the deck of a steamship. "The paintings really help to convey the traditions and stories of sean-nós dance, bringing the audience right into the places where sean-nós dance did, and does, occur," Jordan says.
But Cunningham himself is the real draw and the undisputed star of the show. Known for his style, skill, and athleticism, he is also celebrated for his commanding presence and animated personality. "He's a rock 'n' roll man," Jordan says. "There's a touch of Elvis there. He loves that wildness and passion. And he's so much fun. We're all laughing from beginning to end."
"I couldn't be any happier than when I dance," Cunningham says. "I love life and I love people, but when I'm dancing is the only time I'm 100 percent happy. You get lost in what you're doing. You just be yourself. It's so natural. It's about the culture, the rhythm, the energy, not just us but the audience."
When they were growing up in western Ireland, dance was always part of the fabric of daily life for Cunningham, his brother, and his three sisters. On weekends, the family would take their boat to tiny Blue Island for picnics, music, and dancing, Cunningham's father twanging a mouth harp as his children took turns dancing on an old half door laid on the ground. "We danced every day for fun," Cunningham recalls. "It was very casual. We never thought we were going to be dancers. I never went to any instruction or workshops. I just learned from watching my father."
He also learned from watching other older men at family and community gatherings, dancing steps that they had learned from their fathers. He especially remembers one regatta, though he was only 6 at the time. "There was an old man dancing, about 75 years old, with his hat on his head and his hand in his pocket, just tiptoeing and dancing around the stage, and people were just wild about it. I remember everything, from the music to the dancing to the style of it. . . . I knew I wanted to do it."
He and his siblings started putting "odd steps" together and creating ensemble routines in their kitchen. Before long, dancing became a kind of calling for the family. They'd skip birthday parties and all kinds of special occasions to travel around and dance at various functions, with the parents in the background managing sets and costumes, repairing shoes. "When I was 16, there were very few people doing sean-nós around Ireland," Cunningham says. "It was a dream I wanted for us, but at the time, to think we'd make a living with sean-nós was crazy."
At 20, however, Cunningham got really serious about his dream. "I got into it full time," he says. "It turned into a business for me." In 2009, he and his family presented their show "Fuaim Chonamara" as the headline act of Galway's Volvo Ocean Race spectacular. "Atlantic Steps" is Cunningham's new, more elaborate version of the show. "I just knew that if we can put this out there and keep it as it is, keep it real, and put it onstage with the imagery and the right people, this is something that will work."
He seems to be in it for the long haul. "It's a tough, hard road, but when business gets quiet, you can still always go out and meet with friends and do a dance," Cunningham says. "That's the one thing in the world that's 100 percent real to me. It's who I am and what I am."

Blacksheep Sunday - Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pyrate's Life
One of our colorful ancestors:
Captain Edmund Du Chastel of Philadelphia, PA
At the close of the seventeeth century the port of Philadelphia was a veritable haven for the pirates that preyed upon the Spanish and French shipping in time of war under letters of marque; and in time of peace on any ship they dared board. It was the practice of wealthy Philadephians to outfit ships with arms, rum and supplies and send them to the pirates of Madagascar who could offer inexchange the cargos taken from India merchantmen.
So great was the complaint of Colonial shippers that the Admirality sent Captain Thomas Robinson from England with a commission to put an end to piracy in Philadelphia. The report of the commissioner to has superior, the Earl of Romney, describes his visit to Philadelphia on June 6, 1697, and complains of his lack of success in "That there were warrants out for apprehending Charles Goss, Edmond Duke Castell, George Thompson, Adam Birth, and James Miller and Pyrates notwithstanding which they were publickly and dayly seen up and down the streets of Philadelphia without any notice taken of them." ("Archives of Maryland," vol. 23,page 161; Vol. 25, page 569.)
"The Pyrats were much alarm'd at that time," wrote MatthewVanderheydens on July 15, 1697, "being I was tould Occasion'd by Captain Thomas Robinson his Comming up there with some Commission to call them to Accot..." (Ibid, Vol. 23, page 163.)

Shhh, don't tell anyone we're related! Just kidding. I've been subtly trying to build up anticipation of the Captain. He's so cool, isn't he? [Even his name is cool!] I just bought a book today entitled, "Empire of Blue Water" by Stephan Talty. Have you read it? It's all about Captain Morgan and the "epic battle for the Americas." I'm real excited about it. We should start a Genealogy Blog Carnival just on pirates alone...there were so many!

When attempting to define the future, Caledonian creatives are not afraid to delve into the past

WHEN CONJURING IMAGES OF SCOTLAND, even culturally sensitive types tend to rummage through an abject rattle bag of clichés: sporrans, bagpipes, a wee dram of whisky. At some point one's mind will flit, however briefly, across a misty highland, a hirsute clansman thundering through the heather, swinging a large sword and hollering, "You'll never take our freedom!"
Historically, the Scots have been portrayed (by the English, mostly) as an aggressive breed—a portrayal not entirely without merit. The belligerents in Braveheart are based in reality, as are the exuberant thugs (modern renditions of the Scot-warrior archetype) in the novels of Edinburgh native Irvine Welsh. We should bear in mind, however, that Scotland also gave us the philosopher David Hume, Peter Pan creator J.M. Barrie, radar inventor Robert Watson-Watt and, erm, Gordon Ramsay.
This year Scotland is in the midst of an effort to emphasize its status as a repository of high culture and to tease its heritage into a modern context. To this end, 2012 has been designated the "Year of Creative Scotland," with a series of events and campaigns that highlight the art, architecture, music, fashion and thought that Scotland continues to produce at a remarkable clip.
The images you see here are emblematic of the thinking behind the push to refine Scotland's image. The photographs were shot in two monumental, old-as-the-hills citadels: Blair Castle and Errol Park. The apparel includes offerings from Scottish designers D.S. Dundee and Belinda Robertson, who employ traditional materials and conceits while maintaining a contemporary look that's as suited to the streets of Paris or Milan as it is to the Highlands. It is through this mingling of historical and progressive influences that modern Scotland seeks to define itself.
Tessa Hartmann, who six years ago founded the annual Scottish Fashion Awards, says that toying with stereotypes—"the haggis-and-shortbread persona"— has become a trademark of the country's booming fashion industry. "People come here with images of red hair and tartan," she says. "So [at the 2012 awards] we had fun with that, using these big, vibrant red wigs." The old clan colors were also an insistent motif. "Fashion, from punk couture to Karl Lagerfeld, cannot get enough of tartan," Hartmann says. "It's about celebrating heritage, taking it and giving it a new look."
A similar impulse can be seen at The Lighthouse, the national center for design and architecture, in Glasgow. The complex is housed in a 19th-century masterpiece by Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, his famous brick tower rising above a modular, hypermodern extension. "The juxtaposition of the old and the new," says Ian Elder, the center's manager, "pays homage to Mackintosh, and to his architectural themes."
While allowing that Glasgow is indeed home to some highly ill-advised contemporary architecture, Elder believes that The Lighthouse points to a more "sympathetic" approach that has taken root in recent years. "The tension is in how to maintain character" while not appearing to be "frozen in time," he says, adding, "I think we're getting the balance right."
Simon Groom, director of Edinburgh's Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, argues that the old-versus-new debate rests on a false dichotomy. "New things," he says, "are always based on old ideas." While many museums segregate their artworks by historical period, Groom prefers a more fluid approach. "We mix up the old masters with young artists who will be the old masters of tomorrow," he says. "People think contemporary art comes from Mars, but there is a continuous line."
As he speaks, Groom is getting ready for his museum's Picasso show—an exhibit that, in a way, illustrates his point. "Picasso, in his lifetime, was a very challenging and misunderstood artist," he says, then adds, "From my window I can see two huge jet engines by a young artist named Roger Hiorns. He brought them back from Afghanistan, packed them full of antidepressants, and now they lie on our grounds, posing the immediate question of 'What are we doing here?'"
If Hiorns' depressed engines seem like a rather strident expression of pacifist sentiments—well, that too is very Scottish. There's a steely edge to this small, craggy country, one that cuts into the highest reaches of its culture. "Artists who come out of here punch above their weight," says Hartmann. "There's a hunger here. Because we don't live in epicenters of commerce, that makes the drive and edginess slightly stronger than they would normally be." —CHRIS WRIGHT

A new BMBF project has been launched on September 1st 2017.
The general interest of TKN are architectures and protocols for communication networks. In our research we actually focus on mobile multimedia communication following the internet approach.
Our research has three complementary aspects. We address fundamental issues of the systems suggestingnew architectural approaches and new protocols. For better understanding and investigating the features of theses solutions we develop appropriate performance models (mostly simulative) as well as prototype implementations in hardware and software. More details for our research in the area of Wireless Sensor Networks can be found on our group Wiki site Recently we work on development, refinement, prototyping and evaluating the performance of an architecture called AMICA (Adaptive, Mobile Internet-based Communication Architecture) for the future mobile communication support.
In our vision of the future communication systems, end systems (MH) will be connected in a wireless way to Access points(AP) using DIFFERENT technologies (e.g. Bluetooth, WLAN, GPRS, UMTS... and more) forming a hierarchical structure with overlapping coverage areas (picture). We assume the APs to be connected by high capacity fixed links (mostly Optical links!), using the internet protocols. For such a structure we follow several innovative research questions:
Current Research Areas
Selected Projects
Completed Projects
Our research has been founded by: the European Community, German Ministry of research (BMBF), German National Reserach Council (DFG), German International Exchange Agency (DAAD) Siemens, Ericsson, German Telekom We are strongly committed to exchange of research results/tools/environments.
Here you can find information about results of our work:
Prototype Hardware and Software Components
Performance Models
We greatly appreciate questions, comments, cooperation ideas...
We cooperate with numerous groups within both the academia and industrial research community. For interested in closer cooperation we have selected basic information on: Promotion of International Academic Exchange
Under RESOURCES you can find a huge, regularly updated collection of links to research groups, industrial initiatives, standardization organization and literature sources in the areas relevant to our research.

They were thorough, on time, and got me my parts very quickly. Ralph's Appliance Services did a wonderful job. They fixed a high end oven, grill, and ice maker for us. They were thorough, on time, and got me my parts very quickly. I would recommend them to others.
Excellent Service and very honest Brought part I thought was bad to Ralph and he tested the part and it was good. The problem was another part attached to the part I brought in for my dryer. I not only saved time but I didnt have to spend $86 on a part that was good. Ralph took off the bad part and installed the new one and I was out on my way home for $30. I installed the part and the dryer is working great. I would recommend my friends to call Ralph whether it was for parts or service. I'm very satisfied !!!
Always Reliable and Honest We've used Ralph's a few times over the last couple of years for repairs on our gas stove top and dishwasher. We've found them to be trustworthy and dependable. He provides options and most recently worked closely with my wife to get the best deal on replacing our dishwasher when the cost of repairs didn't make sense. He picked it up, delivered, installed and hauled the old one away for the same price as the big box stores on the same item.
Great experience! I give Ralph's Appliance Services all thumbs-up! It was a really good experience and I will definitely use him again.
Installation of new a/c I recieved a very fair quote and decieded to have ralph install the new a/c. did a very nice job and the professionalism was great. answered all of my question as he was installing the a/c. I would recommened to any one
Terrific. I've had no problems with my fridge since Ralph's Appliance Services fixed it. It's working fine. I'm happy Ralph could come and fix it, since it's an old fridge. He had the part, fixed it, and it was terrific. They do alright for me. This is not the first time I've had Ralph's come by. They've done some other things because I own some apartments, so I call them up if I have any problems.
Ice Machine Failure I had a problem with my ice dipenser and I had called Ralphs Appliances and technician came out and fixed my problem in about 30 minutes with great professionalism and customer service I was very pleased!
Very satisfied! I use Ralph's Appliance Services professionally and personally. Ralph helps me with property management; any time there is a problem with appliances I give him a call. He is also my go-to man when I have trouble with my own appliances. He's always accessible and very responsive.
On time, capable, responsive I have used Ralph's for quite a few years. Always on time, fix the problem, very responsive.
Called after hours on a Friday and received a positive response. Called Ralph's on a Friday after hours...Ralph answered. Asked if it was possible to have someone come out Saturday...reply was "Yes, between 9:00 and 11:00."..Techniacian arrived at about 9:45 and checked my A/C and determined the problem was the unit needed freon. Freon was added and the A/C is cooling properly again. NO pressure to buy anything or replace anything. Definitely recommend calling this company for your A/C problems.
Right on time Took a chance on Repair.com and I'm glad I did, they were Very nice guys, right on time. Actually, they were early and had to wait for me!
Excellent service I couldn't be happier with service provided by Ralphs appliance. He was punctual, thorough and communicative of the status throughout the repair. I would highly recommend them. Thank you guys for the excellent service!
Commercial account Ralph's is awesome has always been very accommodating with scheduling or repairs working around our high volume times, great attitude and results would highly recommend using Ralph's for commercial repairs.
Excellent Service! Ralph always schedules us quickly for any service. The technicians are prompt, very knowledgeable and very good. They make sure the job is done right .makes that extra effort to always make the customer happy.
Excellent Service! I had AC issues and after calling around...you were the most professional, honest and best deal. Best deal because you know what you are doing and this equals a savings to the customer. There are other companies out there replacing functioning parts and not looking out for customer! Thank you!!! In these bad times....any savings is much appreciated. Keep up the excellent service!
Fast Service The guys from Ralph's were great and worked with us to schedule a time that was convenient for us. Also, they express ordered a difficult part (circuit board) to get our dryer back running. Thanks!!!
Once Again Hats Off I called for a problem with my washer and the technician came out the very next day and just as before fixed the problem with ease.
Please use them. We called Ralph's Appliance Services for a dishwasher repair. When they first came out, they could not find the solution and they took it back to their shop. They worked on the dishwasher at their shop and when they brought it back, it was functioning again. I was very happy with them, based on the first job they did for us, which is why I called them back when the refrigerator needed to be repaired. And, I will call them back again any time I need to. They're very professional, arrive on time, and are the absolute epitome of what you want from a service organization.
They do exactly what they say, they are there when you need them. I've been working with them for about nine years now. They kind of do everything for me. I have a house and I also have a garage apartment. I need someone to come immediately when I need something and they are usually able to com within 24 hours. They do good quality work, I always call them first.
Dryer Wizards If you have a problem with an appliance in your home, do yourself a favor and call these guys immediately. They are professional, courteous, honest, and absolutely great at what they do. I can't say enough about the multiple positive experiences both myself and my family have had with Ralph's. They have always done right by us and have never left until we were satisfied. Once you try them, you will not want to use any other repairmen for anything ever again.
Very professional repair service. Ralph's Appliance Services has always done a good job for me. I've worked with them more than a few times. They come out quickly, they get things done quickly, and their people are very nice. Ralph's is a good repair shop to use. They've worked on my washing machine, my dryer, my oven--you name it. They just do a good job.
Best in business. Great Staff. Ralph and employees cannot be beat. Honesty, professionalism, knowledge all at a fair price. Willing to work around your schedule. One could not ask for anything more
Prompt, honest, skilled, reliable, reasonable -- what more would you want?
**Highly recommended!** Being a new homeowner I have never had to call a repair man before. Luckily I was referred by a friend to Ralph's when my air conditioning wasn't blowing cold air. I called and the very next day(!) a very professional team arrived. They inspected everything, explained my problem and offered a reasonable solution. There were parts to be ordered, so I spent a couple days learning to appreciate cool air. The day the parts arrived, technician came right back and fixed my A/C. It works perfectly. The service was fast. The techs were professional and patient with my barrage of questions. The price was very reasonable. This is a company you should hire for your repairs. I'll never use anyone else!
Fast AC repair Our AC went out so we called last night and they came out today and repaired it. Thanks for the quick service! You guys are the best!!!
Great company !!! My Home Warranty hired Ralph's appliance services to fix our cooktop and we couldn't be more please. It's a great company and we are extremely happy with the outcome.
Great service and always pleasant to work with. I refer my clients to him and they have all loved his service. From a simple AC inspection to a full replacement for my clients always a great experiene. Fair, honest work and reliable.
Ralph just saved me from making an expensive mistake with an a/c system. He was knowledgeable and very helpful!

Sydney's domestic airport was partially shut down after fake bombs hidden in a returned hire car's glove box went undiscovered during an elite military exercise.
According to an investigation report obtained by Fairfax, the mistake sparked a major bomb scare resulting in the partial shutdown of the domestic airport car park on July 4 last year.
The fake bombs were found by cleaners at Hertz rental cars about a fortnight after the car was returned to the airport.
Australian Federal Police bomb disposal experts were called in to examine the fake bombs, with a check of Hertz records revealing the car was one of several vehicles hired for six-and-a-half weeks by the Defence Police Training Centre at Holsworthy Barracks.
An officer from the training centre confirmed the devices were used in exercises for students training to become "close personal protection operatives" or CPPOs, elite military bodyguards.
The Defence Command Support Training Centre and the Army Administrative Inquiry Centre are carrying out independent inquiries into the incident.

What's the inside story?
The Tulving Company is Out of Business
The silver market manipulation is certainly taking a toll.
What's the inside story?
The Tulving Company is Out of Business
The silver market manipulation is certainly taking a toll.
"I foresee little future in 'the price of silver', I see a huge future for 'the price in silver'." - heartbone
"The truth is called hate by those who hate the truth." - K
I guess anything is possible, but his web page is still up. Tulving has been pretty reliable at posting when an item is out of stock and his web page shows a ton of items in both Gold and Silver to be available.
How many thousands of posting have you read over the years predicting Northwest Territorial Mint was going Bankrupt and they are still in business and the largest private mint in the US.
I've read stories about Tulving's demise as well and up till now he has still been in business. I guess I'll wait a another day or two to see if it's really true, as he isn't the largest online dealer. You can never be sure if he is out of the office for an emergency or really out of the office forever. Could this be someone trying to intentionally screw with his business with false rumors?
Tulving has maintained his lead with low premiums for the most part, not what you would expect for someone going out of business. Besides, low spot prices wont impact his business, only low volume and he can reduce his staff, which is what it appears he may have done over the past few months. If he truly is bankrupt, it is only because he got dumb and tried to out smart the market. Then he would also have had to be selling inventory he didn't have and spent the funds to procure it. That's a lot of bad moves for someone to be making that has been in business as long as Tulving. I think something more official than someone predicting Tulving's bankruptcy might be in order.

I did check with the BBB today and they have had a total of 231 complaints filed in the past 12 months and all of them have been satisfied. I have no way of knowing what kind of percentage of his customers have been experiencing shipping delays as reported by others, but it doesn't appear that anyone has been screwed out of any money or product as yet.
It should be noted that at least one dealer used this forum many years ago to bad mouth his competition. It's a cut throat business out there to some of them and no telling how often the facts become fiction.
Tulving may be dead in the water or someone may be out to try and put him there. Only time will tell and it shouldn't take too long.

I heard that the mints "Allocation" process is to blame. But what do I know?
No that would cause the product to be in short supply and higher premiums. This is a case were the dealer is accused of a bad allocation process as in, Selling first and allocating later, with it ultimately crashing down on his head, so to speak.
No short supply, just the accusation of improprieties. Plus a warning that anyone doing any business with Tulving "might" be required to return any money paid for metal sold to them or metal purchased from them in a bankruptcy case.
Scary stuff, but is it true or an attempt to ruin Tulving. It's all stated as speculation on the part of the publisher of that information, so I don't know if he has any legal liabilities, but he'll let everyone know if Tulving does actually file for bankruptcy.
I know this article has been copied numerous times on the internet.
If this is all true, it really doesn't matter to the rest of us as Tulving is out of business, we can cross him off our to buy list, but if it isn't then this guy is doing everyone a disservice.
Truth or not, this guy is responsible for re-allocating some of Tulving's current and future sales even if it isn't. It's the power of the internet.
Remember, if it's on the internet, it must be true and if it is, it's being put to good use, but if it isn't, how does this guy get his just reward?
I'm a proud member of Eggshellman's Liar, Shill, and bully club and a new member of the Super Jew Defense League!!!
I've tried two different methods of contacting Tulving to see if his company is still open for business and have gotten nowhere.
I tried the direct method of a telephone call and it was not answered. I got a recorded message to Email my order.
I sent an Email yesterday asking for a simple clarification as to rather his company is still open for business for the members on our forum and I've received no response.
Until there are definite signs of life coming out of Tulving's company, the only assumption left for now, he is no longer in business.

I will be driving over to Gainsville coins to do my stuff in person, screw the 12.00 in gas. I thought Tulving was one of the bigger, more trust worthy scources, if that WAS a top 5 trusted place to buy from, It would end my online buying. He needs to pay those buyers back, if it means taking the roof from over his head, and the shoes off his feet
Buying anything online has always been scary versus in person where you can walk out the door with your product in hand.
Don't confuse Tulving's status as being one of the Best prices with being one of the largest dealers. Tulving "was" in the cherry picking business so to speak. He only sold Silver by the Monster Box, $1,000 face value 40% and 90% bags and other Silver products in 500 ounce increments. So he didn't have to deal with tons of one, two, five, ten and fifty ounce orders. This was probably not a problem when the spot price was under $10 an ounce, but as the spot price kept moving on up, he didn't decrease his minimum product purchase requirement. It's one thing to cough up $2,895 for 500 ounces of generic Silver at $5 an ounce or even $5,395 at $10, but these dealers like Tulving that refuse to deal with anyone unless they purchase minimum quantities have had to be cutting their own throats with higher spot prices and a weak economy.
There are numerous online dealers that have been in business for a very long time, but most will sell any quantity you want, but only a few represent the very best prices and products. Some have great products and lousy prices, while other like Westminster mint have some great starting prices and lousy products, at least for the most part. But it's not just the prices and quality of product for sale, it's that third factor that so many use to help increase their profits called, shipping and handling.
No matter how large and dependable any of the largest online dealers are, they are still at the mercy of the mints that sell products to them. Only mints that have an actual source of supply like Golden State Mint and Northwest Territorial Mint can continue to sell products when all others at the mercy of these mints selling product to them. Each time we have another so called retail shortage, these few mints are keeping more and more of that product for themselves to sell.
That doesn't mean the large dealers are in financial trouble at all, just that they are at the mercy of these mints to supply them with products to sell until the rush for Silver dies down.
Most of the mints do not sell products themselves, so they continue to supply dealers, like Ohio Precious Metals, Sunshine Mint, NTR and JM.
Some mints do not sell directly to the public but sell some of their products through a store front with a different name.
The dealer names I've used in the past and present represent the most common dealers used by the public, even if they don't sell their products at the best prices or best service.
For instance APMEX almost always has too high of a premium for anyone to purchase anything from them in small quantities, yet they have a large following, a huge variety of inventory and they consistently run sales making those on sale items competitive.
Northwest Territorial Mint runs in the middle of the pack when it comes to premiums, but they run specials every few months that makes their product one of the best buys. They are also the one place everyone can go to find Silver at a price that has not seen it's premium run wild when all other dealers are scalping the public in these so called retail shortages. They are the largest private mint in the US and their business model keeps them in unfavorable view with the public. They produce Silver to sell, so they are always behind in their backorders. With a common 8 - 10 week delivery window, it's only the devoted that can wait that long and those that couldn't find Silver for less when it's not for sale at their regular dealers. Not only do they produce their own NWTM and Pan American bullion product lines, but they are also the producers of many other generic products for dealers. So I keep adding NWTM to the list because it's one of the places so many purchase from and it's the "best" place to go in a pinch.
I included Gainesville and Provident because they have always been competitive with their premiums and a lot of members buy from them. Gainesville is more of a dark horse after following them. Too many restrictions as in you really can't buy anything from them without using a credit card other than a wire transfer. A lot of people want to pay by check to save that 3% up charge. Shipping and handling charges are a dark hole with Gainesville as you can only find out what it will be in the check out process. So this makes it more of an iffy kind of dealer for many looking for small purchases. That is unless you happen to live in the Tampa Fl. area, then you can go there and buy all you want and pay with cash and no shipping charges. Not a bad deal at all. The one thing I find bad about some of Gainesville's one ounce rounds and bars, is that they are produced by the same mint producing the products sold by Westminster Mint. But whatever they may or may not have problems with dealing with small purchases, they are one of the most competitive when it comes to large quantities.
I grouped Provident Metals in the same category with Gainesville, but you could purchase with a check and they do have one of the lowest shipping schedules around. Which has made them one of the best places to find low cost products at a great price. The problem I had with them in the past was they were also selling many of the same products sold by Westminster Mint and they have recently stopped that practice and have now started producing their own private products or someone else is making them under their label. Whatever the case, their new one ounce rounds are some of the best on the market. At least the ones I seen so far, I've ordered the last three they make to see if they are also of the same high quality. Now if they could just get into making their own bars with the same kind of quality instead of buying them from Ohio Precious Metals with their name on them. But when it comes to sales, you can't beat Provident's prices, at least if you are buying their new top of the line one ounce rounds.
Of the mints listed above, I don't believe anyone will ever have a default from NWTM and hopefully not Golden State Mint. These operations have been around for decades and they have far more invested than simply their names. When you have a full blown minting operation on their scale, it's one hell of a lot of capital to lose playing games, especially with NWTM being the largest private mint in the nation.
Of the above dealers, APMEX might very well have the most variety of inventory and they are very competitive when it comes time to sell almost anything you have. Not the best premiums, but they have some great sales and very often. I list Gainesville because so many have bought from them and they have very competitive premiums, especially at the volume levels. Provident Metals might be the most popular online dealer, especially for smaller orders, which is not to say they are not one of the best for high volume order as well. I think Provident's outstanding feature is their extremely competitive shipping and handling charges, which coupled with competitive premiums makes them a stand out from the others for small quantity purchases. The other quality I find best about Provident is their new one ounce round product line. Having dumped what others are selling at low premiums and replacing them with high quality rounds and at the same premium levels is what I call a commitment to the success of your business. Provident claims to be running their own mint now, which I haven't verified, but if that's true, it's another strong argument for longevity. I don't know how long any of the above three dealers has been in business, but if length of survivability had anything to do with this, Tulving would still be in business as he opened his doors over 20 years ago. The only one of the three that I've done any business with in recent years is Provident and it was three shipments and all three shipped the same day it was ordered. I also found Provident to be the best online dealer when it came time to sell some products that it was not in my best interest to sell to APMEX, which was around four years ago.
The other two dealer are SilverTowne and Westminster. Both have a couple products that can be bought in very small quantities and still be competitive, but the quality is a hit and miss thing at best. SilverTowne is an actual mint and will be around for sometime to come, but with their high premiums, I don't think anyone should worry about losing a ton of money with them folding, as higher quantities can find far better deals elsewhere. Plus SilverTowne is into producing and selling so many things other than generic bullion. I bought a couple of great items from them last Christmas that were very nice. Westminster Mint will also probably be around for sometime to come as well. No they are not a mint themselves, but the store front for a major generic mint manufacture in the US. Not the best quality, but they do pump out a ton of product to dealers willing to sell it and I think it's great Provident is not longer one of them!!

Holy sh!t I never knew Tulving was in Costa Mesa. But you bring up a good point about buying online, you never know what could happen.... A reputable business could suddenly go under without any sign of distress.
BTW, the guy in the article that lives in Eldersburg, MD literally lives a half hour away from Golden Eagle Coin. I don't know about anybody else but I would feel way more comfortable driving a half hour than having shipped 20 gold maples.

What is your favorite place to find clothes for children?
I love shopping the high end resale shops for some unique items! If you have time to spare, it's worth the digging for that diamond in the rough. I also check Zulily often to see what they are offering -they carry some fun lines and toys/gifts too. I always shop Land's End end of the season sale to stock up on seasonal items for the next year. You can get some fabulous deals on swimwear at the end of the summer! And then I also shop Zara (best kids department), Crewcuts, and "Baby Gap Made with Love" as my kids always call it.
