Topic: Want to be a Reviewer/Contributor?

NZB is looking for people who have a talent for communicating information to others through a text medium (writing).

Have you seen a really good movie recently? Read a good book? Visited an interesting place?

We want to hear about it.

If you would like to be a regular reviewer/contributor, we would expect at least one Article a week, at least 150 words, on whatever topic you choose.

In return, you will receive a badge, much like the one next to my name, but reflecting the Reviewer/Contributor position. You will also get an extra 150 Private Message storage capacity, be able to upload more files, and not have to post per day in order to use the Arcade (because you are contributing already).

Submit your first Article in this thread for consideration.

Wouldn't it be cool to express herself in words... I hope some people here do this, I love seeing peoples work on things like that.

Maybe ED should give us a weekly update on whats happening in the World of Politics in regard to teh upcoming election in the US. "Ed's view"

There will be a special Forum for articles, and a box on the Front page showing the latest submissions too.

New Hampshire

By: jeni2004

I think that you guys will like to hear what is going in my state of New Hampshire. Right now where I live school starts tomorrow for the kids. Soon the Rochester Fair will be in town. The leaves will be starting to change colors. The leaves are so pretty here in the fall.

I wish you all could see how pretty New Hampshire is in the fall. I will try to get some pictures to go with my articles in the future so that you can see how pretty it is here in the fall. I hope to let you all know a lot about my state in the months to come. I will let you all know what is going on like fairs and other activities that will be going on in my state. I want to keep you informed on what is going on in my state.

I like where I live because there is always something to talk about that is going on. There was a rock formation called the old man in the mountain but he fell last September. I got to see him before he fell though. We have lots of great ski areas to ski at. I love skiing here in the winter.

There is a great organization that I belong to it is called Special Olympics of New Hampshire. I compete in skiing, swimming, and basketball through the organization. I will also let you know what goes on in that organization. Swimming will start back up in October for me. I will let you know how swimming is going when it starts back up.

Special Olympics is a group for people with disabilities to compete against others with disabilities. I like to compete against others to see how good I am doing and where I need to improve. Competition is hard but it is also fun. I love my coaches that I have. I make lots of new friends when I am practicing for the up comming games.

I want to let you know what Special Olympics is. It means alot to me that we have a program like this for people with disabilities. In the following months I will let you know what is going on in my state and what is going on in Special Olympics. If you have any questions about my state or about Special Olympics you can private message me. Also you can email me.

Shrek II
Rating 7/10

Dreamworks have done it again!!

A wonderful mix of the fairytales we all grew up with and the fantasy that is an Ogre. As with all sequels they can never be as good as the first one but still the third highest grossing movie of all time ABOVE E.T.

With a stunning cast of Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, Rupert Everett, Julie Andrews, John Cleese & Jennifer Saunders, Shrek II had the expected mix of humour (adult and child) and the wonderful animation that was present in the first movie.

Newlywed Shrek and Fiona take a trip to visit her parents along with sidekick donkey. The journey home reminds me of most any long trip with a child " are we there yet? are we there yet? I need to go to the toilet!" and of course the annoying Journey games!

On arrival to the palace there is the expected shock and Horror for Fiona's parents to discover their loved daughter is now an Ogre and even worse Married to an ogre.

Fiona's father takes an instant dislike to Shrek ( so many parallels to reality its frightening) and poor old Shrek is left feeling that perhaps Fiona is better off without him.

With the assistance of his mother, the Fairy Godmother, Prince charming has Fiona drugged to fall for his suave charms.

With much interference from others Shrek discovers his inner man and comes back to Fiona as quite the stud muffin, sexy stead and roguish Puss in boots in accompaniment, to compete for her against Prince Charming.

Fabulous movie for children of all ages!!

Nice one Opti - I enjoyed reading that review!

I am also a children.

Nice one Opti

I would definitely appreciate Ed's View.

Actually, if anyone wants to do a regular feature, they are welcome to do so...it will probably end up being submitted to me, and I will post it on your behalf, but you might end up doing it yourself.

I dunno yet...

Not necessarily.

Have you any idea how many threads i have posted that nobody has replied to?

Offhand, I would guess it's about 50 or so.

People can notice something without feeling compelled to comment on it.

What's Happening In New Hampshire

By: jeni2004

School started yesterday where I live. All of the children are now back in school. September is the beginning of the fair season. The Rochester fair starts the 17 of this month. I like the fairs because they are so exciting.

Fall will be here soon. When the leaves will be starting to change colors. Fall is the prettiest time of year in New Hampshire. The leaves on the trees turn such pretty colors. I will get some pictures and add them to the online album.

The capital of New Hampshire is Concord. The state motto is Live Free or Die. The nickname is the granite state. The state songs are New Hampshire Hills, New Hampshire,My New Hampshire, nd Old New Hampshire. The state flower is the lilac. The biggest lake in New Hampshire is Lake Winnipesaukee.

New Hampshire entered the union as the ninth of the thirteen original colonies on June 21, 1788. Manufacturing and tourism are the leading industries in New Hampshire. Mt. Washington is the highest peak of the northeastern United States. U.S. President Franklin Pierce was born in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is the fourty-fourth largest area amonge the fifty states.

Ok here goes.....

Its an absolutely filthy night in Wellington, saturday to be precise, and I am sinking the dreads of a really cheap ( but needed) bottle of red wine.

I being a fantastic, amazing , hard to find rock of a good friend have opted to babysit for my fellow girlfriends and let them have an amazing night out on town...

Although my girls think they are going to paint the town red, the reality of this is somewhat distorted, they are so guilty about leaving there kids here, they end up having a few for good measure and always end up coming home absolutely home sick for their babys, ( who in turn are really pissed that they have to go home, the kids that is!)

So if this is Sex in the City but NZ style, it truly sucks...

Now what can we do to turn this around I wonder?

Suggestions from people please?

Nice.

(I'm so tired right now, I can't form much of a coherent sentence.)
