Dave's Garden
I'm sure the content on their forums is every bit as good as the content on GardenWeb but on GardenWeb you can get it for free! Anyone searching the internet for gardening related info can easily access it and join if they want unlike at Dave's Garden. Yes I know that it costs money to run a site but I don't think Dave's Garden is really all that desperate those ads you see on the site are there for a reason-to make money and it has a base of subscribers which also bring it money.
Don't even get me started on the look of the site and forum or the horribly placed advertising that non paying members see when they come to Dave's Garden from a search.
I give Dave's Garden ★ ★ out of 5 stars. One for the Garden Watchdog and one because I know a lot of people on GW who also post there. If you're looking for a gardening forum where you can read the threads before you sign up and that won't cost you money to join check the list on this blog for more references.

It doesn't sit well with me either. It is very annoying that it pops up so often on Google searches, only to go there and find out that you can't see what you came to see.
Gardeners in general are very generous people -- generous with their knowledge and often with their seeds, plants and cuttings. Dave's Garden just doesn't fit with that philosophy.

I don't think gardening or growing plants would be nearly as enjoyable for me if I could learn from other people or pass on what I pick up here and there and you're 100% right about it not fitting in with that philosophy.

I believe that Dave's Garden is also a christian site. I could be wrong but I'm just going by that big explosion where someone made a comment about a 'significant other' liking a certain plant and they got banned. A religious mentality likes that makes me nervous so I haven't made any efforts in being a part of the site.
However, I have to agree with you about Garden Watchdog. That's a really good site. I'm glad that is for public use instead of being a paying member to share your experiences.

You know I'd heard of some of that around the web but I didn't include it because I haven't seen the thread(s) just what others said they have noticed while there.
But I've seen a couple of flame threads on GW by D'sG devotees where they mention stuff like that. If that's what it is-then it's great but I don't think the religious practices of a forum owner should extend to what is allowed to be posted by the membership unless it's clear that the site is set up for a specific group.

When I was surfing a few years ago I found a bible forum of the same system like DG which was offered by StandardOut, a company by the Owner of DG which was offering this plant-related site, too. But I think now it's all provided by NameMedia, Inc. or so.

Hey Florian,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I should update their entry as they have just changed owners.

It's the one place I know that if I can't answer a question there will be at least a dozen people who can.

Hey wiseacre
Thanks for stopping by. I like GW too and am a member there. I just came across a new forum this weekend and will post about it soon.

Now a days you have to be very careful what you say at Dave's Garden or you will find yourself banned and you won't get a refund of your $20 subscription fee no matter how recently you joined or how long you've been a member.
There are lots and lots of names that are no longer active at Dave's and they were members for years.

LOL-so I am not the only one who went on to the site and discovered I was no longer a member. I was fortunate that I did get a refund but all of my data was lost to me. I had helped DG on a database and had used many of his journals to keep records. Do you know why I was banned...for posting my opinion about garden forums on my own companies website blog. In seconds all of the information I stored in my journal at Dave's were lost to me...and soon he banned anyone who contributed to a new forum I had created. So sad.
I never thought I would have to watch who I spoke to or what I did even off his site. But this in fact is the case. If he disputes me, I have his letter to prove it.
Look for other gardening forums where you are allowed to use all the resources out there without fear of being banned.
- April 9, 2008 at 12:28 PM
I made a post this morning about how unfair I think they treat people, and about a wonderful new web site called Garden Babble, and within minutes I had been kicked off. I was influenced in no way to write this to DG, but thought that because there are so many other sites that are referred to there, that there would be no problem in posting about a free site with all the same info that DG has, BOY was I wrong! I have even e-mailed them to ask for an explanation, only to be ignored. My suggestion is this...If you want to waste your money joining a site that rules with an Iron Fist, join DG.....if you want to make friends and save your money for plants, find another place that will treat you like a human being.
- April 29, 2008 at 10:04 AM
And get this.....At DG they are now banning paying members just for associating with members of another web site!! Talk about childish......
- April 30, 2008 at 2:35 PM
Geeeeshhh, come on, is it so bad? Sounds strange to me, current DG member, and NO you don't have to pay to be a member, we have thousands of members who don't pay, but we also have a WHOLE LOT MORE THAN SOME OF THE OTHER SITES DON'T HAVE! I AM PROUD OF DAVE AND WHAT HE DOES FOR US....PERHAPS IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH RELIGION...YOU MAY NEED TO SEEK SOME.....

I have been a DG member for a few months. I gladly paid the $19.95 for a year which is really a pittance if you think abut it. There are a lot of knowledgeable people posting there and just that alone is worth the money for me.
Having said that, it is an incredibly poorly designed site. The fonts, layouts, search capabilities, are antediluvian (Ok, pre-2000). Someone, it seems, added the tag feature to the site to replace the "Favorites" feature, which is of course not the replacement of, "Favorites" is still mentioned on the features page although it is no longer functional etc.
And while the posters are knowledgeable, I stared to wonder about some of the people who run the site. For instance I posted a pic of a plant at a public park. The plant looked bad (it was a philodendron, the tree it had climbed on got cut down and the plant was baking in the sun), and I added the rhetorical sigh at the end of my post: "Will it survive?"
My post was removed, stating (paraphrased) "You posted a question about the survival of a plant in an inappropriate forum."
I mean, please...

I'm glad that you are proud of Dave.
Whether you want to believe it or not, he has banned and threatened to ban people for associating with certain others. I have the proof to back up my words. He has stated on more than one occassion that certain people are off limits to associate with or you can lose your membership to DG. I swear those in Admin. over there must get tired of wiping the blood from their noses.....maybe if they didn't keep them turned up so high, nobody would be having this conversation. And yes, you are correct....there is free membership, but you are very limited as to what you can access. There are MANY garden sites with just as much info (if not more), and you can access the entire site for free!
As far as needing to find religion, I would suggest that you get a grip on yourself! I have no problems with religion, although it seems as if you might with idiotic comments such as the ones you have made here.
- June 24, 2008 at 7:28 AM
Anonymous, I don't think you and Garden Geeks are telling us the whole truth. WHY don't you tell the whole story, and print the letter you sent to Dave? You and your friends need to get a life.
From one who knows

Hi-since I am The Garden Geek...I will explain what happened and will post all that went on. will all proofs. Now-when it all is displayed here, Dave will have you to thank for showing his true side and I hope he comes looking for you. I kept quiet and just went about my own business until you called me and friends liars...so here you go...chew on it for awhile. It is all here in black and white. Nothing covered over.
First my Blog on MY company website...you will see Dave refer to this in his letter to me.
This is from My Company-nothing bad was said about DAVE but he took it personally and sent this e-mail..
"Robbi, I know you have been pretty dis-satisfied with DG and theadministration here for a couple weeks now. This morning I readyour new blog at thegardengeeks.com and saw that you are advisingpeople to avoid DG altogether in favor of smaller forums. Clearly, you no longer have a desire to be at DG, and I believeyour continued presence here is unhealthy for all partiesinvolved. Therefore, I have removed you from the site. Your subscription was active through June 24th (81 days fromnow). As you paid $19.95 for a year's subscription, you areowed a refund of $4.43 based on the formula: (19.95 / 365) * 81 If you desire to have this refund, please give me your paypaladdress and I will happily send it."
I had never said I was unhappy at DG...and he owed me much more than the $4 he says here-I can show you the paypal that he did send and my account home page that says how much longer I was REALLY a member.
OK this is the e-mail with my answer and his last communication with me....
"On Fri, Apr 04, 2008 05:21 PM, Robbi Hoy wrote: > my Paypal address is email@example.com I will look for the refund The refund has been issued. > I hope it is OK for other members to tell them that I will> still send newbies their seeds. No, that's not okay. Your association with DG is completelyover. Anyone found giving you assistance in bypassing thisbanning will find themselves also banned. > now I can honestly say-you kicked me off for my smilies-LOL I know you've been repeating this to many people. You can saythat, but then you would have to live with yourself being a liar.If you really believe you were banned because of smilies, thenyou are incredibly deluded. Good day,Dave"
I could have posted the bottom portion of his letter with his phone number to prove that this is true. I didn't think that was needed. If you still doubt what I am saying-get in touch and I will send you the originals.
I hope you notice that I was trying to make light of the situation...he did not find it funny. So please understand that this is NOT something I have enjoyed, and it is NOT something I am making up. There is plenty more...do you want all the members who were booted to contact you directly...like Mr. Crocosmia, Lauri, Jenn, BHaugh? They can all send you his letters.
Now lets move on...it is all there-Dave had a bad week or month or something-now get passed it PLEASE. I did!!

This is the letter that got me banned from DG, which only proves that truth is not tolerated there.
free new web site!!! http://www.gardenbabble.com/ please come and check it out!
All the info you need, and you can save your money, we don't charge a dime for your time!!!!!
When I joined DG I thought I was joining a community of people that
looked out for each other. What I have found in the past few months
is far from that.
DG used to be a fun place to learn about gardening, chat and visit.
Anymore it has become a place where only those who have been a part
of this community since the beginning are made to feel welcome.
It all started with The Princess Game. By now you have all heard about it,
so I will not go into a lot of detail about the game. There were people that
were annoyed by the game, Critter I hope you don't mind me using your words,
and others that were down right nasty, Hello Sugarweed......Yes, Sugarweed
was so nasty to Kathy/jordankittyjo, that Robbi/distantkin and a few others
(including myself) took great offense to it. As you can see, Robbi is no longer a
member here. If you want the real reason, here it is......Dave got so upset that
people would actually take up for another person here, that he threw Robbi off this
site. He became upset with Robbi because she posted on HER blog that is on
HER companies web site. Was Dave
justified? In a word NO. Was he being childish.....YES.
Yet, when we all jumped to Dave's defense against Garden Web, he applauded us.
Go Figure, yet it doesn't surprise me.........
The blog post never even mentioned DG. Is Dave so egotistical or just that insecure
to think that everything put into print is about him? I can tell you this, most of you will
not get a chance to read this, because Dave can't handle the truth. He will be busy
removing it from the site instead of standing up and explaining himself.
And I would also like to mention that Mr. Crocosmia was banned for talking to Robbi.
And, Lauri Wilson was banned because Mr. Crocosmia used her computer to log onto DG!!
And, your D-mail is not private!! There is someone there at admin that reads all of them!!!
what an invasion of privacy that is!!!!!!
here are supporting documents.............
Robbi, I know you have been pretty dis-satisfied with DG and the administration here for a couple weeks now. This morning I read your new blog at thegardengeeks.com and saw that you are advising people to avoid DG altogether in favor of smaller forums. Clearly, you no longer have a desire to be at DG, and I believe your continued presence here is unhealthy for all partiesinvolved.
Therefore, I have removed you from the site. Your subscription was active through June 24th (81 days fromnow). As you paid $19.95 for a year's subscription, you are owed a refund of $4.43 based on the formula: (19.95 / 365) * 81 If you desire to have this refund, please give me your paypal address and I will happily send it. Dave
Robbi : my Paypal address is email@example.com I will look for the refund
Dave : The refund has been issued.
Robbi : I hope it is OK for other members to tell them that I will still send newbies their seeds.
Dave : No, that's not okay. Your association with DG is completely over. Anyone found giving you assistance in bypassing this banning will find themselves also banned.
Robbi : now I can honestly say-you kicked me off for my smilies-LOL
Dave : I know you've been repeating this to many people. You can say that, but then you would have to live with yourself being a liar.If you really believe you were banned because of smilies, then you are incredibly deluded. Good day,Dave
And for Mark, it went like this.......
For secretly promoting the competing website of a banned DG
member, I have removed you from Dave's Garden.
Last time I checked, there were references and links to all kinds of garden sites posted at DG, including their largest competer, Garden Web.
Well folks, now you have the rest of the story. If I get banned for this, so be it. It is better to be an honest person than to be like them. Dave is so insecure, that he has rerouted all kinds of google searches to DG. Like it is the only place to get information. I have found that there are quite a few sites out there that contain more info, and much better advice. All you have to do is look around.
Thanks for your time,

I have no need, nor desire, to allow seditious attacks against DGand its management. Your post was unproductive and you knew thatit would likely result in your being banned when you posted it.I deleted the post and gave you several opportunities to backdown. You did not, and you left me no choice but to remove youfrom the site.Dave

It looks like we both have what we want,
This is the letter that caused the above e-mails. I don't know how they can say that the writer of the letter did not back down, since they banned her before they even asked any questions.
First, I would like to thank those who have supported the game. And for those who knew for a fact that if they expressed an interest in the game, or just chatting, they would have been more than welcome, and welcomed with open arms. We never intended to tread upon anyone's toes, offend anybodies senses, or make anyone feel as though they were being left out. There are many members on this forum, and I know that a majority of these members, have paid their subscriptions and are in good standing just to gain knowledge and information, without interaction within the Forums.
I was a "lurker" for months after finding DG, only paying the $5 for 2 months at a time. I finally decided this month that it was somewhere I thought I wanted to stay. I was really accepted by most people, with warm welcomes and helpful information. Earlier this month, I signed up for the full years subscription after researching many other sites, thinking that this was the fairest and most acceptable, but with the recent turn of events I am beginning to wonder. I am sure my $20 is a small drop in the bucket compared to the overall amount brought in by other memberships and advertising. I am quite sure that there was not a bandwith problem due to the vast information already stored on DG, I am sure the Princess Game did not take up that much space. I still cannot see where we had a "Clique" problem when all throughout DG has their own "Cliques"/preferences/favorites. In my opinion, "Clique" is a "politically correct" nasty way of labeling a group of friends. There are many, many, many threads on this Forum which I did not care to visit because they just wasn't "my cup o tea". I didn't find them to be "Cliquish", and if I did, I didn't really care because I had my own preferences/favorites.
As far as "Cliques" go, we never intended for the Princess Game to be defined by the outrageous definition stated in the above hyperlink that Dave posted. We did not, nor ever intend, to create a conflict, start a conspiracy theory, or create any type of negativity towards anyone, or any group of DG. Just the very idea that Dave has referred to our group as a "clique" is both spiteful and hurtful. Why do I mention spiteful? Because when it was brought up that our game was disruptive, it was not a comment or complaint, it was a downright nasty, spiteful statement made towards Kathy-AKA jordankittyjo. From there, to further their cause, the game was brought up to further entice the powers that be that something needed to be done immediately. We did not deserve to be treated as we were, without being able to represent ourselves. We were, however, asked to moderate ourselves ASAP, which we obliged. HOWEVER, we stopped, the other party did NOT! It was requested numerous times that two comments posted hereafter be removed, but it took a long time for this to happen, as we were told that it wasn't felt there was anything derogatory in their statements. Why is it that what we do is felt to be so bad, yet the ones making these derogatory and slanderous statements be allowed to continue??? "FOR GARDENERS BY GARDENERS" has reverted into a Capitalistic Totalitarian format, IMO. Sorry if I step on your toes here Dave, but we are paying members, you have your advertising revenue, without ALL of us there would be no DG!!! AND I feel that we should be allowed to have a voice when need be.
Well, there ya go, I have said my peace on the matter. I assume that this thread would be open to honest opinion and rebuttal. If my opinions, and the way I see the way things have gone, give cause to have me removed from this site, then I would like to thank everyone that I have met here and all the good times we have shared!
Sincerely, Tammy-AKA Mistygardener
PS Dave, I will await your Dmail
I would have been able to leave well enough alone had it not been for anonymous asking for this to be posted.
I have more from Dave too, if you feel the need to see it, just let me know.

The one thing that really annoyed me is the fact that I spent many many weeks sorting out his Crocosmia database for him and his admin.
After banning me for no reason I told him I wanted all my info that I supplied taken off his website. I never did get a reply!!! The info is still on there as far as I know..
For all you christians on DG, I wrote to Dave and asked him if he thought he was the reincarnation of Jesus. I truely believe he thinks he is........
Oh well, at least we have now found Garden Babble...... we have fun on there and we are building up the database that will put DG to shame.

Anonymous said,
Mark, What do you have against Christians? Are you an athiest?
Once again, someone taking verbage out of context to make it seem as if the poster, Mark this time, was a baaaad person. I would think that in today's society of political snippets being bandied about and constantly misused to cast the opponent in a negative light, we, as competent and reasonible people, would know the difference. Apparently not. I believe it is blatantly obvious that Christians weren't attacked. People posing as a Christans, but behaving completely opposite was the true meaning of Mark's post. That, my friend, is called a hypocrite. Love, Peace, Harmony, and Hugs on the outside, but Arrogance, Manipulation, and Degredation on the inside doe not a good Christian make.
But to the ORIGINAL QUESTION you asked here, did you read the above posts, Anonymous, as you have not made a comment on those. You wanted the proof and it is there. What are your thoughts?
You stated, "I don't think you and Garden Geeks are telling us the whole truth. WHY don't you tell the whole story, and print the letter you sent to Dave? You and your friends need to get a life."
The letters are there in black and white. What say you?

You can now find all of us rabble rousers at www.thegardengeeks.com CLICK ON FORUMS. Come see how Gardeners should treat each other, and how much we love to share when no admin is editing, deleting or name calling their members-it actually turns into a very friendly, informative and wonderful site!
Thanks Dave for giving us the opportunity and the courage to go it alone-It was well worth the heartache!

Dave's Garden has very wrong info about out website. The negative comments are not about us. How they got us mixed up (address, name, etc) with another worm dealer is a wonderment to me. They do not seem to want to fix their error either. REALLY BAD WEBSITE. LET'S BOYCOTT
- October 21, 2008 at 6:12 PM
I would like to know what Dave is so afraid of? He closed the Co-ops at DG,(most people from there are saying it is because he personally doesn't make any money from them), and as soon as people started coming to The Garden Geeks, he panicked. He has now re-opened the co-op forum, after stating emphatically that it would never be back. He has once again started banning people from DG for talking to us at Garden Geeks. Is he really that worried, and if so about what? What exactly is it about distantkin that scares him? What have you got to say Dave? Why don't you come on over to The Garden Geeks and tell us what the problem is? As we already know, you and others from DG have been there on several occasions, and you are reading the posts. I hope you saw the ones that have welcomed you and Terry with open arms.
- November 12, 2008 at 9:49 AM
I was a member of Dave's Garden for about 3 years. Dave had sold the the site to a corporation about a year after I joined. The fee jumped then to $20 per year.
Just this week I made a comment to the affect of Dave doesn't own Dave's Garden any more he sold it to a major corp. and I added a link to where he made the announcement of the sell. I told no lie. Just the truth.
I was banned for that. Not only was I banned but I was verbally beaten by Dave in his email to me. He stated that I seditiously attacked him and the site. I didn't see that coming.
I asked him to point out specifically what part in the user agreement that I violated... no response.
I take from this and I learn. I put a lot into Dave's Garden in information, posts, photographs and other things. What I could not see in the beginning, I see now...
Dave's Garden is a .com.... a business. Although it is proclaimed "For Gardeners By Gardeners"... that's not the case. More accurately it's by gardeners for a major corporation. And the kicker to it all is that I,among many others, paid for to do it. We all contributed and essentially built the site little by little... and we paid to be able to make a site that would be sold for $3.4M dollars.
Never again...
- November 13, 2008 at 3:12 AM
... to further my story. He made a post in some thread, not sure which one... stating that I had left on my own and that he expected me to start rumors.
I have no idea where that came from... nothing could be further from the truth. Why would I leave on my own when I was in the middle of hosting a very good co-op, running a Round Robin and in the middle of 2 trades. Why would anyone leave?
In the past few days I've found out a lot that I didn't know.
Just before I was banned I had joined 2 different small gardening groups... I used the same username as I had always used at Dave's Garden, I thought nothing of it.
Also, they have what's like an inner email system called dmail. I have since learned that the admins of Dave's Garden read the dmails. They have scans and filters looking for specific things, and sometimes they just read it for the fun of it. They don't tell you it's not private... they just don't bring it up anywhere. So one would assume that there dmails are relatively private when they are not.
I could go on and on about the fascist Dave's Garden. But I think you get my point.

After being a member at Dave's for over 5 years I was banned. Last year, only a couple of months into a year subscription, I got banned for no apparent reason. Not only did I not get a refund, I also didn't get back any of my money I had paid into numerous co-ops.
Missing the camaraderie I started The-Garden-Fence.com last year, but folks are afraid to use it for fear Dave will see it and ban them, as well.
Small wonder Christians have a bad name in the secular world with people like Dave behaving the way he does.

Dave and his gang are obviously keeping an eye on this blog. Shortly after my last post someone from Murfreesboro, TN (home of Dave's second-in-command, Terry) checked out The-Garden-Fence.com.

I've been busy so I haven't been keeping up with the comment section of this blog. I've just deleted a couple of comments that I thought were inappropriate in that they used some pretty foul language even though it was masked.
I don't mind people commenting here and sharing their thoughts and experiences I just don't want to be a vehicle for such personal trashing that leaves me open to litigation.
With that feel free to comment but please keep it civil.

Just found this blog and these comments and they are so apropos. DG was just resold to Internet Brands. Dave started another site called cubits (where people start and administer their own "cubit"). IB just delivered a cease and desist order to Dave and cubits will come down today for some period while the attorneys for both sides talk.
The religious righteousness abounds in all the crazy comments and anger on DG. Dave has followers - some rational, some not - who are sounding off mightily. These rants (I'll include one here for anyone who is curious) are public: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1101381/
There are thousands of members on DG who just want to garden and maintain friendships. But these angry followers have been doing their darndest to ruin other subscribers' experiences to vent.
IMO, it will be a very good day when the sanctimonious conservative Christian religious tone of the site moves elsewhere.

Thanks for the tip. I blogged about the thread over at one of my other blogs.

Message boards are competitive,self serving and unfortunately self limiting. I know how they make decisions and they all have to do with business. The downfall of the message board is it hurts a lot of people`s feelings when you mix friendship and business. It is better not get too involved with message board communities owned by a company that is mainly interested in the advertising revenue and work on being nicer to people you meet face to face.
- July 29, 2010 at 3:56 PM
Actually, I would say the opposite. I'd much rather get involved with a message board community owned by a company that is only interested in advertising revenue. That I can understand. That is defensible.
But to have a site that purports to be about gardening, but which really serves only to keep it's fanatic religious community happy is kind of scary - especially when you find that out about it AFTER you've paid $19.95.
I guess, in retrospect, I should have known that significant ego was involved when I read the url. Even if one garners millions when selling his site, it's too easy for him to believe that he still owns it if the domain name includes his.
This "Christian" person only incited his followers to panic and leave the site after it was sold. Megalomania, if you ask me. No impact to him - he had his millions. But there were many isolated retired folk who lost friendships out of some (I believe) misplaced sense of loyalty . . .

One thing is for sure. I`ll never pay any website to work for them building their databases again. If I can`t post web based images I have control over then I don`t do it. I`m tired of being a sucker.
- August 9, 2010 at 11:26 AM
I was removed from DavesGarden for posting my images of flowers. They say they removed my account because I was using the forum for self promotion. I however feel that I was singled out. And I was only was participating like all the others.
I don't understand why people stay there when there are other sites that are better and free. I have to admit I was not satisfied with the longest 1 page threads, no multiple image uploads, no chat and the rules... etc.
If you decide to join you e-mails are read and your forum threads will be deleted if it doesn't fit in there little perfect box.
- August 24, 2010 at 10:43 AM
Wow, I can`t even have a free membership with my Garden Watchdog. They can monitor my business listing while keeping me from being able to post on it. They told me I could reply to my Garden Watchdog with permission. I have no way of being sure if they really mean that.It makes me angry they can have control over me and my business and push me around like this.

When previewing any Connecticut Huskies game this season, the focus is always Kemba Walker. And the question is always, "How will [UConn's opponent] stop Walker?"
As if it wasn't obvious before, as Walker goes, so go the Huskies. UConn has lost three of the past five games, and in those three losses Walker shot 14-for-53 from the floor and took just 14 foul shots.
As coach John Thompson III tries to prepare his Georgetown Hoyas for Wednesday night's showdown with UConn -- and extend his club's eight-game winning streak -- you can be sure that he's thinking long and hard about how to extend Walker's recent slump. But he shouldn't overlook another emerging option for coach Jim Calhoun's crew.

Although not specifically a biographer, I am looking forward to the debates coming through this website. For my PhD 'The Planning, Design and Reception of British Home Front Propaganda Posters of the Second World War', I was interested in the posters designers, and was keen to establish (albeit small) biographies of the artists, so that we could establish their perspective and 'read' that into the design. See all the artist biographies.
There was a handful of well known graphic designers who appear in National Biographies, or had websites dedicated to their work, but most of it was a slog through the internet (I finished in 2004, so not as much information as there is now, when it would probably be interesting to go through again) to find bits and pieces of information. The majority of visitors to the site (before Keep Calm and Carry On took off), came through their hunt for information on particular artists (and not always the biggest ones), so there's definitely an interest in that perspective.

Top 8 of '08, with Guest Blogger Kathy Chung
Kathy, my dear friend, is a writer, mother, teacher, classic Celtic beauty and valued Surrey International Writing Conference Contest Assistant. Was she does not do yet is blog -- though I'm sure I'll grab her and reel her in one of these days...
[taps toe]
[taps toe again...]
Well, that was quick!
Here is a guest post from the new blogger, Kathy Chung, highlighting her top 8 locations of the year:
- My living room, where I was sitting when I wrote 'The End' on my first completed manuscript in June, read the winning entries of the storyteller category of the SiWC writing contest, and cuddled with my family.
- The tiny, West Highland village of Shieldaig, where I walked in the footsteps of my ancestors and sat in the very lounge where my great great grandmother lived and worked for most of her adult life.
- Gateway Theatre, where my shy little girl radiated total confidence in her annual ballet show in front of 500 people. She amazed me.
- The playing field outside Fort William, at the Lochaber Highland Games, where I listened to a high school pipe band play "Scotland the Brave" and marvelled that I was finally there and completely at home.
- YVR [code for Vancouver International Airport, of course...] for all the comings and goings, including our departure for Scotland.
- The Sheraton Guildford Hotel in Surrey, BC, where I spent my annual favourite weekend at the SiWC.
- Victoria, because one of my favourite cities is home to my best friend and a host of happy memories.
- My email inbox – not technically a place, I suppose, but a significant location nonetheless where I found friendship, ongoing conversation, and daily enjoyment of the people I am lucky to have in my life.

2010 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD Crew Cab 140.5" Laramie Front Exterior View
The Ram PHEV features Chrysler Group's 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 with a two mode hybrid transmission and a 12KwHr lithium ion battery. The vehicle is capable of up to 20 miles of zero-emission, pure-electric range without the need for gasoline. An overall fuel economy improvement more than 65 percent is expected for average drive cycles. Chrysler Group has partnered with Electrovaya Inc. to supply the advanced lithium Ion batteries for the Ram PHEV test fleet.
The DOE grant will expedite the development of vehicle-electrification technology. More than 21 Chrysler Group partners across the U.S., including utility companies, government agencies and Universities will independently test the Ram PHEV and provide valuable data for the advancement of the technology.
In 2008, Chrysler Group announced the company's intention to bring a Ram Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) to market. After closely evaluating the response to hybrid pickups in the marketplace, the company could not formulate an appropriate business case and has decided to cancel development work on the 2011 Ram HEV.
Chrysler Group's alliance with Fiat Group brings new platforms and technologies that allow the company to create an improved long-term product strategy with greater fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. Chrysler Group's five-year plan has an uncompromising product schedule, including a progressive vehicle electrification strategy.
About Chrysler Group LLC
Headquartered in Auburn Hills, Mich., Chrysler Group LLC's product lineup features some of the world's most recognizable vehicles, including the Chrysler 300, Jeep Wrangler and Ram Truck. Fiat will contribute world-class technology, platforms and powertrains for small- and medium-sized cars, allowing Chrysler Group to offer an expanded product line including environmentally friendly vehicles.

Im very interested as well. If there is a list please put me down.
I'd be interested in a set for sure..
Still waiting for a kit to arrive.

Hi guys,
This is a superb project, hats off to you!
I agree that De Agostini have let us all down, in many ways, and I also feel like Steve Dymszo is partially to blame too. Apologies if I'm wrong and if anyone here is friendly with him, I have no personal grudge and don't know the man, but from things I've read about the De Agostini Falcon project it seems he was the head consultant and with his research for the MR Falcon including 'scanning' there really shouldn't have been half the errors! Things like the cockpit canopy are just inexcusable, and whilst it's great they offered a second version (to us in the UK, at least) the fact that the second version was almost worse beggars belief!
Anyway, back to the topic of missing greeblies; I know that parts were broken off and missing from the original at the time of 'scanning', but Steve Dymszo was made aware of this, and he sourced ten or so missing parts for his personal MR Falcon. So, if he was aware of these parts, why have De Agostini got so much wrong!?
Right, that's enough of my ranting. I'd just like to commend you for sourcing these parts which can't have been cheap, and as long as the cost isn't prohibitive for my budget I'd love to be put down for a set please!
Though, as you said, shipping to the UK may be a shock!

I would not have been interested in the topic here.
But kuat asked for pictures of the parts, and he was aborted with phrases.
A simple no you get no pictures of the parts, it would be easy.
Shapeways makes profit. And resin grows on trees ....
To make the thing short, I am not dependent on the pictures.
The parts are not a secret and also no diamonds.
Some sets are already on the way to me, and pictures from here would only shorten the time I need to build the parts in 3d.
It should please no one is offended is only my opinion.
English is not my first language, apologies if something is misunderstood.
I think what Sonic Sun is trying to say, is that he's attempting to do the same thing as you guys; offer people 'copies' of the missing parts, so that we don't all have to buy loads of kits of ships and planes!
He was hoping that you might share photos of the kit parts next to a tape measure for measurements to help him recreate the parts in 3D for printing for people.
He's a good guy and is trying to do this for our Falcon Groups in the UK and rest of Europe, some of our members have already helped him with 5 or 6 parts for the Mandibles.
His English is good, but some things get lost in translation so please believe me when I say he's a good guy trying to be nice!

"Shipping to the uk may be a shock"
You know how small these parts are right? I cant see shipping costs a major factor in this, shapeways charge about £9 , for £9 i would expect them shipped to the moon and back using diamonds as fuel.

I'll be interested too, when you are ready to ship.
whatever this kit will cost, i am with you. always
i really like what you are doing here guys and i am looking forward to the set
Why did you pull off your reference photos for the missing pieces?
Interested in a set when you are ready @dtssyt
Been watching this thread. I think what you are planning, if you can manage to do it, will be a great service to those of us that would like to improve the accuracy of their builds. Needless to say, I too would be interested in a set.
I think $25 or there abouts is a very fair price, if you can manage it, and I would definitely order a set! I'm a member of a few U.K. (Mostly) Facebook Falcon groups and I'm sure they'd be a fair few members who would also want sets, so if you're able to supply the demand we might be able to do a bulk-ship to the uk? Though it might work out cheaper as individual order-shipping as they're small, light weight packages? I guess we'll see. Very excited for this, hope it moves along well for you!

Getting ahead of ourselves !? Never !!!. Thanks for what you've shared , and hoping you'll be able to help/complete not only your build , but the many others you've inspired . Just wanted to say that , it's not only the U.S. and U.K. Builders/subscribers who'd be interested in these ' missing/ignored ' parts by Deagostini . Cheers , Ged .
I'm also very interested in these casting parts! And the price is really fair, thank you for all the hard work and for sharing with us!
Hi Dtssyst,
Huge thanks for all the info on missing parts,any more info or directions as to where to look would be greatly appreciated.Inspite of the horrendous cost involved I'm looking to hunt down any and every kit necessary so will not be joining the ever increasing army of folks looking to buy a set of pieces from you.No doubt by now like me you've discovered that the parts attributed to the Tamiya Agano kit are not from that model,any idea which kit they are actually part of ?
Finally can I wish you and your good lady a very happy and healthy 2017.
Kuat want a Set please, shipping to Germany.
Thanks and Greetings,
Please pm when ready to take orders.
Thanks for all the work you have done tracking down these missing pieces. I too would be very interested in purchasing a set when they are available.
is there a way to see the missing parts at all?
i can't find any photos whatsoever.
DeAgostini just announced a few hours ago that they will replace nearly all the missing parts, but i still want the set from Dtssyst
But as i said, some pics would be really nice <3
Hi dssyst,
just had a second Agano kit delivered and this one has the parts needed, sprue W part 30. It would appear there are two Agano kits out there.
so as to clarify for everyone's benefit the kit needed has the item number 31314**2200.The kit to avoid has the item number 77058**500.Hope this is helpful.
Good news Guys! Looks like Deag is coming through for us.
Dear members of this forum,
After receiving feedback from the manufacturer and experts, we have come to the conclusion that most (not all) of the parts highlighted as missing, are indeed omissions from the original prop. As such, we will be replacing them in due course, although as they will need to be designed and manufactured, the specifics of how they will be dispatched have yet to be clarified. In the coming weeks we hope to have a bit more clarity.
Of the parts highlighted in the original post relating to this topic, we will be providing all parts with the exception of the 'KGV' ones highlighted in the final image, which have been deemed by the consultant to be inconclusive as to whether they were part of the original prop. It seems there may have been pieces there but they were never included on the Master Replicas version and as such, there is no accurate reference to model the parts on. Further information on when the parts will be ready will be forthcoming in the near future.
We hope that the replacements of these parts will be welcome news to all subscribers, and we appreciate your patience in having waited for a response.
DeAgostini Admin

Once again another weekend, and this time my destination was Rangamati. 7th and 8th August of 2010, Saturday and Sunday, I have enjoyed totally at Rangamati. This district is blessed with beauty. Also the lake that was made during 1960 added an extra value.
You can not think the district without the lake. Almost 80% of the district is the lake. Also for your information, this is the largest district according to the area. Majority of the people are Chakma, but you can find lots of Bengali people, and other tribal people here.
There are lots of things to see from the district. I have added some photos from the district. Hope you'll like these.

Perseus just released a new track of his and it's a slow n soulfoul piece. I'm pretty sure this is in the new Magician Tape, but I haven't listened yet. So looks like that's what I'll be doing next musically.
This song is perfect for a rainy day where you're just waiting for it to get better knowing it's not too far away. I'm a bit biased as it's raining on the west coast, but I'm sure this would work perfectly on a great day too especially when you've got Mary J Blige "I Can Love You" samples "raining" throughout the song.
Who's gone love you like I do, huh? What
Who's gone treat you like I do, huh? What
Nobody, nobody
Who's gonna make you feel the way I do?
Nobody, nobody

is an amazing hub of education, talent, nurturing and creativity. For 20 years, they've been hosting a free six month program whose goal is to help youth ages 14-18 learn and experiment with the basics of media communication. Our future makers of the media are cultivated here and chances are if you've heard any young people on the radio, they've come from this amazing place.
"If they can get here", says Teresa Chin and they are respectful and curious, then none are turned away. Teresa Chin is the Director of Media Education (amongst other things), so she coordinates their first six months of training. From the moment they walk in the door the goal is to get them prepared for school or employment. They first meet with a case worker, the teachers, an academic advisor and then participate in group bonding exercises so they're able to get to know those around them. Though about 50% of the program's youth are from Oakland, most have never interacted with each other before and are from all different walks of life. Group bonding exercises help to build bridges and important working relationships. Side note: media communications is a relatively male dominated field. I would love to see more young women in this program. Get involved girls!
The first three months are spent receiving an introduction to a variety of media skills: journalism, music, design, digital photography, etc. They host a live weekly radio show, which includes hosting their show live and on air, djing, creating a website and keeping a live tweet feed. The last three months are spent focusing on the area that really caught their fancy. If they've become interested in storytelling/journalism, they can start to produce their own stories. If music is their passion, they're taken to old fashioned record stores so they can really learn about the vinyl, sample and remix some things. Multimedia includes creating their digital portfolio's, advanced photography techniques, etc.
At the end of their training, they are able to apply for a paid internship to Youth Radio. The mix of returning graduated students and staff that are educated and working in their fields shows the students all the possibilities that await them. Most importantly it shows the importance of "adults partnering with young people" by demonstrating what "healthy adult working relationships" look like.
Youth Radio also includes a full on news room production company, health department, chef program, tech department (basic IT) and app creation labs. There are FREE snacks every day and dinner on Fridays, all made by the youth of the chef program. Too bad I don't fall into the 14-18 age range ;-).
Teresa Chin has been with YR for two years and knew instantly that this was a perfect fit for her passions. As a former high school teacher, she has always been interested in adolescent health and journalism. Sometimes the students are put on air their very first visit to YR. "It's really exciting and so important because they have really important stories to tell and rather than have a story told about them, they can show that young people have really intelligent things to say and really important perspectives to share."
Though they are stationed in Oakland, they work in partnership with youth programs from all around the country. Listen to the future media makers and hear a raw, fresh perspective on Friday nights at 7:30 PM & 8:30 PM.
They also work with many local radio stations and publications. Hear their commentary on KQED, full length features on NPR and read their works in the National Geographic and the Huffington Post among many others.
Thank you Youth Radio for allowing our young people to wear their voices!

The psychological costs of unsustainable housing commitments
We explore the impact of unsustainable housing commitments on psychological well-being using data from the British Household Panel Survey. We test the hypotheses that (i) housing payment problems, housing arrears and the threat of eviction and repossession have adverse impacts on heads of household's psychological well-being over and above those caused by financial hardship and (ii) these impacts are larger for homeowners than for tenants. Our results indicate that for both men and women persistent housing payment problems have significant psychological costs. We find that for men entering arrears and the imminent threat of home loss has deleterious impacts on psychological health. The sizes of these effects are independent of and larger in magnitude to those associated with financial hardship more generally. We also find housing payment arrears have a significantly greater impact on psychological wellbeing among homeowners than tenants.

Evolution of working women in eyes of State
The mother may have been seen as the primary care giver in Ireland - a role still enshrined in the contentious Article 41.2 of the Constitution - but when it came to collecting Child Benefit, she was regarded as a second-class citizen.
Until the Children's Allowance Act of 1974, the person designated to collect the monthly payment was the father. The repeal of the law was viewed as one of the enduring achievements of the Irish Women's Liberation Movement - an organisation that helped overthrow much that was sexist and chauvinistic about an Irish state that was only half-a-century old.
The previous year, 1973, had seen the removal of the so-called Marriage Bar, which prohibited many women from continuing in employment in the Civil Service, local authorities and health boards as soon as they married. When one considers that the average age of brides in Ireland for much of the 1970s was 24, many saw their careers end around the same time as some of today's graduates are only getting started.
The Marriage Bar - repealed in the Civil Service [Employment of Married Women] Act - had been a source of enormous frustration for career-minded women and those who wished to make their own money for much of the 1950s and 1960s, and seemed to represent the way women in treated in Ireland.
There had been signs that things were changing in 1957, when Ban Gardaí were first recruited to the police force and, a year later, when women teachers could continue in the job after their marriage, but the floodgates for greater parity at home and in work truly opened in the 1970s.
In 1973, the Social Welfare Act made provision for the payment of a deserted wives' benefit, and for the payment of an unmarried mother's allowance, while in 1976 the Family Home Protection Act prevented the husband from disposing of the family home without the consent of his wife.
In 1977, the government effected the EEC's directive on equity by passing the Employment Equality Act, which also established the Employment Equality Agency. And, that same year, employees - including pregnant workers - were protected from wrongful dismissal under the Unfair Dismissals Act. While such legislation was necessary - and welcomed - women's pay continued to lag way behind their male counterparts. At the beginning of the decade, the Commission on the Status of Women had called for equal pay as a result of some extraordinary statistics. In the manufacturing industry, women, who made up a third of the work force, were paid 43pc less per hour than men. Women teachers were paid 20pc less than married male teachers (though the same as single men) and female civil servants received 20pc less than both their married and single male colleagues.
As author Eamonn Sweeney notes in Down, Down Deeper and Down, his social history of Ireland in the 1970s and 80s: "The relative situation had actually disproved for women, who were earning less compared with men in 1971 than they had done in 1938."
The 1980s saw signs of further improvements, especially for working mothers. The Civil Service introduced a scheme of job sharing and career breaks in 1984, a move that was soon widely extended through the public sector, while the 1989 Social Welfare Act meant that, for the first-time, married women in Ireland were to be treated equally with men and single women in the social-welfare code.
In 1990, the European Commission launched the NOW (New Opportunities for Women) Programme, with the explicit aim of creating equal access for women to jobs and professional training.
Working mothers were finally acknowledged in 1998 with the Parental Leave Act giving parents an entitlement to unpaid leave from work to take care of young children.
In just 24 years, Ireland had gone from a country where mothers could not collect their children's allowance to being able to take recognised leave from work in order to spend more time with their children.

Kozhikode: Kerala has the dubious distinction of being the most morbid state in India, according to a survey by the National Sample Survey Organisation.
A seminar on 'medicine, health and society', organised by the Indian Medial Association, pointed out that Kerala reported 250 per cent more hospital visits than the national average.
Rural areas are sicker, the survey suggests. As many as 310 people in every thousand fell sick in rural areas in two weeks, compared to 306 in urban areas. In a year, 117 in every thousand has been hospitalised in rural areas, compared to 99 in urban areas.
India lags behind all countries when it comes to spending on healthcare. The government spends only less than 3 per cent of its total expenditure on healthcare.
About 86 per cent people in India are not covered by health insurance. A majority of those who have some kind of insurance protection are covered by government insurance.
Cancer treatment was the leading cause of spending in hospitals.
The IMA seminar said that the government was spending most of its money on unscientific healthcare methods, calling for a more scientific approach in the healthcare sector.
IMA Kerala president Dr. Sreejith N. Kumar inaugurated the seminar. Dr Ajith Bhaskar presided over the function.
Curated from God's own country is most morbid state in India

What a nice way to start a day! I have logged in to check the status of my pending files and noticed some changes on my panel. The earnings balance was no longer $0.00! Yes, I have sold my very first picture. Delighted.
It would be so interesting to know who bought it and what are they going to do with it. Do you guys feel like that sometimes? Or with more sales this felling goes away?
Let me know.

Kitchen Living
The Kitchen Is The New Living Room: Tips for Making The Kitchen More Liveable
Today's kitchen is far more than a place to cook. It's a space where families and friends eat, converse, work, relax and entertain.
Mathieu Sabbagh, Director of Cooking for Siemens Home Appliances, sees the kitchen evolving into the focal point of the home, and as such, "it needs to be both functional and aesthetically appealing."
Sabbagh, who is instrumental in the design of Siemens products, is himself a fan of the communal kitchen. His own home kitchen houses a 96" wooden table with benches on either side to accommodate as many friends as possible at the large casual dinner parties he loves to throw. Here, he shares a few tips for making the heart of the home a place you and yours can love:
No man is an island. But in the kitchen, everyone likes to gather around one. The ideal liveable kitchen has a center island of some sort, so that cooking and socializing converge. Pull up a few barstools or tall director's chairs, and let the chopping…and the conversation begin. A large table is a good alternative, and it multi-tasks as a home or office work surface.
If they're good, you look good. Choose appliances that have clean lines, are easy to use, and make you more successful (and relaxed) as a cook. Sabbagh is partial to the Tronictm convection range from Siemens, which "has all the great features anyone could ever need in a 30" range…and it's very easy to clean."
Seen and not heard. Look for appliances that are quiet. It's hard to carry on a conversation or listen to music over the din of a loud dishwasher. The Siemens Definition Dishwasher has a soundCheck system for super-quiet performance.
Objects of your affection. Make your kitchen a personal space – Use color and accent the space with favorite objects. Display your collection of pitchers or vintage cocktail shakers or baskets. Don't be afraid to mix sleek stainless appliances with a warmer palette of wood cabinetry and flooring, or with marble or granite countertops.
Well-connected. For a kitchen to be truly liveable, it needs connections -- computer with high-speed Internet access (a great way to access a recipe quickly) and a TV (so you can watch the news or cook along with Alton Brown). Even small spaces can accommodate a small wall-mounted television….although the pop-up flat screen ones are nice!
Let there be light. Make sure the workspaces in the kitchen are attractively and adequately lit. Experiment with area and "mood" lighting just as you would in a living room. Small table lamps, hanging lamps, torcheres, and sconces can all add a lot of character and make the space seem warm and inviting.
If music be the food of love…Bring your favorite music into the kitchen with a small CD player, or by wall-mounting stereo speakers, or even by playing iTunes on your computer. It makes cooking more festive, clean-up more fun, and draws your guests in.
Children's corner. If you have the space, consider devoting a corner of your kitchen to child's play. Have a small table and chairs and storage bins for toys, art supplies, etc.
Above all, says Sabbagh, create a kitchen that is functional for the cook(s), comfortable enough to hang out in, and a reflection of your personal style. For basic guidelines on planning your kitchen space, visit the National Kitchen and Bath Association's web site at www.kitchens.com. Siemens Home Appliances are available at Best Buy in the
