COOKING WITH ME

1 green onion, sliced into thin strips
3/4 c. dry white wine

Place onion and green pepper neatly over chicken in thin layers. Pour orange juice mixture in pan, sprinkle with paprika for garnish. Bake covered for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove cover and bake for 15 additional minutes

WEATHER

Weather is different everywhere so i will just be talking about severe weather.There has been alot of wild weather during the past few months, cyclones and tsunamis in Asia, flooding and tornados in Iowa, and much more. We will, however, report about Iowa, tornados going through in the last few months has resulted in lives taken and many injured.It didn't help when this month flooding occured in many cities along the Des Moines and Ceder rivers. The national guard was even brought into many towns to help keep flooding to a minimum which seems to be working.

MOVIE REVEIW

Iron Man. Iron Man is a 2008 superhero film based on the comic of the same name.It stars Robert Downey Jr.as Tony Stark/ Iron Man and Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane/ Iron Monger. I thought it was a great film, the best in quite a while. It had everything great effects , great actors, and even though it had good effects it had a great script and story too. I give it 5 outta 5 stars.

CLASSIC CORNER

by the greatfuldead

remerbering old things we miss this week is slinky the toy fun for both boys and girls orinally sold in the chrismas season of 1945. A Slinky is a coil-shaped toy invented by mechanical engineer Richard James in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Slinkies come in various sizes. The shape is a simple helix, or coil design, of a ribbon of material, originally metal. The Slinky can "walk" down stairs as the coils stretch and reform as gravity moves them down each step.

palace of rock

by mcawsometopia

the palace of rock, i founded this region 3 or so months ago in hopes to bring together everyone who likes, rock and what not, I'm big into music and so why not spread it in the world of NS? Rock is pretty big, so i figured it attract a good bit of people, which it has, i have 29 members currently and we're still growing.
Along with our website and forum, www.freewebs.com/thepalaceofrock,
we have many little features dedicated to rock, such as a band of the day, in which i list a band of the day and tell a few bits of info about it. Same with our guitar hero of the day, similar to BOTD, but i list a guitarist, i even have some articles on selected few on the site.
through our months of rocking, we've been in 2 wars, one with the new space age, and one with the world's region. both were stopped with a peace treaty. we have a new style government, with 3 departments, and elections currently going on, we're pretty active, and such, so drop on by!

paradise isles

by peackeeping country o

I am not only the cheif editor of the paper but i am also the founder of Paradise isles. I started playing the game a little less than a year ago and made the region. i couldn't get anyone to join and so i started sending out telegrams asking for help from the founders of some bigger regions, the telegrams also had a side thing asking if they wanted to come but i was desperate. And i eventually telegramed Neasmyrnia founder of 00000 A world power who gave me alot of advice on what to do. And what do you know i got some people to join and was pretty happy, but it didn't last long when we got a delegate called OAS he seemed like a nice nation. He wasn't nice for long, he soon got bored and we had creative differences when he went crazy and ejected most of the population, including me. i quickly banjected him and decided to get revenge when he went off and made his own region called allies alliance. The origional plan was to raid and eject him but he had delegate controls off, so we sent in puppets to make him think he was getting people and he soon he had many many people... of ours. So when he started rubbing it in we pulled them all out and told him of what we've done. He was mad. Things eventually got back to normal and we were happy and large (20 nations at the most) again. We took part in the defense of lazarus and the north pacific, but the prosperity didn't last. people started to get inactive and the population droped to where it is now, but i am recruiting like crazy and hope to get back to normal



nationstates

by mikeswill

This region was created prior to the days when founders were credited for their endeavours. In the beginning there was much turmoil and wars which devastated this region. At the conclusion of the age of wars remained three nations: Jennifer Government (now deceased); Winky Woo (an Invader); and Yerwhat (a Defender). An agreement was made to desist from the turmoil by these three Nations and recruitment was begun to reestablish the prosperity of the Region. A Nation by the name of Imagineering was the Delegate when Mikeswill was created. Imagineering wrote the World Factbook Entry. Mikeswill (who resided in one of the Pacific’s at the time) recruited Maiway aka Spankin to the game who in turn was recruited to this region by the Aire of McMillan. Maiway then recruited Mikeswill to this Region.
Mikeswill became the 23rd resident of this Region (Nov 2003) in those days and then created the Nation Mikes Hope to be his UN Member Nation. Shortly thereafter Mikes Hope became delegate of this region. As Mikes Hope could recruit while also at work, He was able to recruit many Nations and within two months (Jan 2004) NationStates Region contained 650 Nations.
In September 2004 the MODs determined that one of Mikes Hope’s puppets (Masked Zorro) had over stepped the boundaries of interaction with another Nation and deleted both Masked Zorro and Mikes Hope. At the time we had 320 or so Nations in the Region given the annual summer decline of participation in the JenGuv land. Mikeswill was allowed to continue in the game.
Insomniac Monkeys became the new delegate and indicated a new direction for this region which would have created alliances with other regions and thereby brought us into the affairs and tribulations of other Nations and Regions. Mikeswill disagreed with this direction and thought to continue the Essence of our World Factbook Entry keeping us neutral in the affairs of the JenGuv Land. (This was also the Era of Invasions and Mikeswill believed we would be stronger by remaining neutral).
A power struggle ensued, and to his credit Insomniac Monkeys never ejected Mikeswill who became the New Delegate 10 days later. As a result of this development 80 well-loved Nations left our Region and formed Free States of Gaia which immediately grew and prospered. NationStates also prospered surpassing 650 Nations again in January 2005.
In August 2005 Mikeswill became a schoolteacher and was no longer able to recruit as in the past. Additionally, another nation attempted to seize control of this region refusing to divulge their intentions. Said nation was ejected as a potential Invader and another 80 Nations or so followed this Nation to a newly created region. In time this new region disappeared and the nation that was ejected was allowed to return here where they lingered until they ceased to exist.
By January 2007 NationStates had dropped to 100 Nations where upon Mikeswill began recruiting with greater frequency. Rising to 260 Nations in the Spring our Region is currently experiencing the cyclical summer decline in number of Nations. With the onset of school in September another opportunity for recruitment should arise.
In 2008 we again rose to 260 Nations. The only real threat was from a Nation called Delegate of Old who attempted to usurp the WA Delegate. Through well placed spies he admitted to his cabal and was Ejected prior to his successful scheme.
Such is the history of this Region as I know it. Any additions would be greatly appreciated.

Its goal is to eventually replace all forms of fascist imperialism with Socialism thru any means nessecary and thus blaze a path of glory thruout history the likes Marx, Lenin, and Che would all be proud of.
