I lost Rachel when I was 16-years-old. Torn out of my life like, suddenly, cruelly, irreversibly. No more laughter in the dark theatre, no more ridiculously silly situations.

The modern Democratic party is built on the ideals of equality and unity. Bringing people together no matter who they are. With Barack Obama running for president, this theme is more important and in the spotlight than ever.

What does it mean to be "green?" As everyone's favorite frog will tell you, "it's not easy being green." Especially when you're trying to make history doing it.

Yesterday, as I made my way to Newsvine base camp, I noticed two police helicopters in the sky. I'm used to the presence of these flying law enforcement vehicles as they patrol certain areas of Denver regularly and I can watch them from my balcony.

Just yesterday I was listening to a detailed explanation of the 8-fold path which forms the basis of Buddhist practice, and what struck me (no surprise since I have a one-track mind) was that the ideas are rather applicable to commenting on Newsvine, with only a little modificati …

In 1933 a law was passed in Colorado that banned liquor and beer sales on Sundays to "protect the sensitivities of the Christian sabbath" following the repeal of national prohibition on April 7, 1933 for beer and December 5, 1933 for all other forms of alcohol.

I've just finished watching this week's American Idol and am shocked about the premature expulsion of idol Carly Smithson. She was, far and away, my favorite. A heap of personality, gorgeous, unique takes on songs, and one hell of a voice.

This is in response to an article about two neighbors who have been playing pranks on each other for years. I think it's great that people can still have a sense of humor and enjoy playing this good-willed, harmless pranks on each other.

Because it is 10 days, 1 hour, and 12 minutes before the Broncos play their first preseason game; against the 49ers, none-the-less. You were expecting something deep and pagan, weren't you?

Dogs will be dogs. Like people, not all dogs get along with each other. Unlike most people, however, dogs use their teeth to settle their differences. This always ends badly.

If you are seriously interested in knowing precisely when, and where, and how, and by whom, Christianity actually started, the actual event of its creation, then I would like to send you, for your comments, research into this question, research I have done and which has been seen and privately praised by leading scholars of the early church, but which is evidently too explosive for publication.

I have to say I like your style! I've read several of your comments and you have a great way of getting your point across. Thanks

Missing you.
Come out to play, Newsvine stalker =P
I did not have sexual relations with that woman. Although I was wearing her underwear...
Keep writing these great articles, oh zesty one

My beer is totally getting warm. Wherefore art thou beer sherpa?
Miss Dev, if you are what you watch, then your movie list tells me you're a neat gal! Beer here!
What can you say about Miss Dev? She's caring, kind, has a good soul and an open mind, and most importantly, a well traveled expert on beer.
Gentlemen - I give you the perfect woman.
Any woman who loves beer is high on my list, but MissDev, she writes good. She's raw humanity, and for me humanity is all the decency, strength, intellect and warmth that just shows you the it's not a machine spinnion out those articles and comments.
— Oluseye
Miss Dev -- I definitely enjoy your articles. But I must say, I recently added not-sex-panda to one of my articles just to offset the sex-panda articles ;)
— Ilyanep
Miss Dev exudes classy clever kindness and a knack for timely quips and words well-spoken. She brings a welcomed smile amidst the banter of debate and a sense of favor when she contributes to your postings.

What's this, a new avatar? Miss Dev, I thought I was your favorite Evil Petting Zoo animal. *sniff, sniff* Were you just playing favorites?
Miniature Horses are much better smelling than skunks (but not quite as good as skunk-weed), and we don't sniff people's crotches like dogs (sheesh, no manners, those canines).
I feel very left out now, I thought we were going to be tight, and now you're hangin' with Pepe LePew.
I need a hug.

The world needs more dirty hippies ;-)

Ahhh, Miss Dev -
She tops my list of users I'd like to share a beer with. She's giddy, smart and leaves a smile on my face, especially when she accompanies repeated feature requests with bribes of muffin baskets for the Newsvine Team, signing off on such emails as 'Captain Whiner-Pants'. Who does that?! Oh yeah, cool gals from Colorado who drive fuel-efficient SUVs.
Dev, you're a funny person, and I love how you're on top of things happening in your locality. You're also a rare breed: carefree, easygoing, charmingly quirky, yet opinionated and very knowledgeable about things that the rest of us just throw up our hands in surrender on.
Who knows, maybe we don't add the features you ask for, on purpose, just to keep your mischievous emails coming ;-)
