Newsvine hereby recognizes the excellent contributions by U.S. Army soldier Rob Ballew, from the front lines of Iraq.

I just wanted to take a moment and share my excitement over Rob Ballew being nominated and selected for a RAV Award! I cannot think of a more deserving person than Rob.

Well, I guess I'll be the first to sit on Santa's lap. "I have a couple of wishes I would like to see happen this year,
-I want to be more active-I have had time, I just haven't been finding Newsvine as enjoyable as before, I hope this changes though in the next months.

I want my RAV for being the most prolific newcomer to the Newsvine Community of Citizen Journalists.

I have seeded almost 400 of the most interestin …

It's not that I'm flatterer or yes-man, but I think that Bill Gates should get RAV.
Of course, we should get Bill to register as Newsvine member first, but I think he would be happy to do that after receiving the RAV.

At last, we are happy to announce that Viki Gonia, aka VikiBabbles, is just the 15th Newsviner to ever receive the Random Act of Vineness award. Long overdue - we want to recognize not only the big things Viki has done, but also the many small things.

Jim Dent's this article is a commendable effort on his part. He pulled in people of Newsvine to contribute in order to get a laptop to fellow Newsviner Rob Ballew who's currently serving in Iraq and doesn't have a laptop and has to wait in line in order to use the internet.

The Newsvine Cyborg (aka Newsvine Blog) is going into overdrive after a long bout of robotic-writer's block.

Yes, this is an article demanding a RAV be given. But for once, in this unprecedented, completely unexpected, and downright INSANELY HUMBLE article, I would like to nominate... someone other than me!

As a Newsvine "Chosen One" with a full branch, I tend to enjoy the perks; the better parking spaces, the stock options, the in-home Swedish massages...

Over the last couple weeks a few discussions have popped up regarding Newsvine's highest honor (short of the wet-dream of being hired to work for the company) the Random Act of Vineness.

I've been sitting here doing nothing far too long. It's like being at arm's reach from a scrumptious burger (I'm really hungry, by the way), and sitting there not eating it. Me? I'm going to dive face first into that burger and devour it alive -- formalities ignored.

The Newsvine Team is happy to recognize Sandy Frost's recent achievements as a citizen journalist by awarding her the Random Act of Vineness.
