This quilt is one I'm making for one of my granddaughters. I have just about finished the quilting and hope to mail it off to her in about a month. I like the bright colors--her room is a pale purple with blue/turquoise curtains. I've made quilts since the late 70's. I've been working 40 hrs a week at a job for 12 years so I don't have as much time to work on them as I once did. But the...

Newsvine was one of the leaders of the blog arena for at least a half a decade from about 2006 to 2011 and then management decided , apparently, to fix something that was not broken. From 2011 to to now I was simply there, wrote a few articles, wrote a few comments on articles of interest, but something had happened, and I lost interest. In fact I lost interest in the whole blogging...

This is another test of techniques and touches. Let's see what happens. An article that posted photos inspired me to get off my butt and take a drive. I live in a densely populated area on the north end of L.A. County, I am also minutes away from the Angeles National Forest and the Cleveland National Forest. I have lived here for 12+ years and never entered these domains. Almost criminal. I...

Time is a real problem for me and I'm sure for many others ... I work online on the internet yet I also relax and enjoy the internet ... it's rare that someone can do that in life ... but I've worked hard in the real world to now enjoy my virtual world.Having been away for a while I can more adequately draw a contrast and some comparisons to NV ... while I realize their are a number of...

Benghazi Attack: Why didn't the President take action. What action?1. Grabbed his Pilot jumped on Air force One?2. Directed the rescue attempt from the situation room?3. Told the Generals what to do?There is nothing the president could do he had not already done. The president told them to take what action that was needed. Atthat point the Generals had to do their job.The Generals had control...

Doctors or let me better define it my Doctor who is part of a Ohio Health Care Provideris duping Medicare by only giving one time perscriptions no refills. No perscriptions or test results without an office visit, Seeing that I have to drive about 80 miles to get my perscription filled its rather expensive in time and gas to make the trip to the doctors office get the script and making the 80...

The world is set to change.There are many change agents around us.They have various names.Think tanks,reformers,philanthropists,intellectuals,philosophers,writers,politicians and too many similar adjectives are there to introduce the change agents.The change agents have special ways to approach their clients or target audience.They are good psychologists.They screw into the hearts of their...

So here I am when I was a candidate for City Commissihinor. My niece captioned this photo "Bobby Means Business" that I used on my flyers along with "Think Bobby" I had a lot of great catch phrases but lost to big money.I'm still involved in city politics and right now we (the people) are fighting a proposed 276 unit apartment complex. The only exit would put a lot of pressure on a road that is...

It's almost funny, if it weren't so sad. But, since 10:28 last night (EST), I count 24 new members here on NewsTalkers... the vast majority of whom I recognize from the Vine. Quite possibly all of them are Vine refugees - and I predict that we'll be seeing more and more and more. Newsvine is, to put it bluntly, a disaster. What makes it so frustrating is that it doesn't matter what anyone says....

Has anyone noticed there's a backdoor method to keep "Old" Newsvine (yes, I still lurk there, haven't posted since I "left") -- if you have more than 15 groups/nations, the pop-up asks you if you want to leave some of them or just ignore...on the left side though, there's an option to "go back to classic" -- so today ISN'T D-Day for everyone...
