Hiding Easter Eggs: Idiot’s Guide Pt. 2

Hiding Easter eggs this Easter can be creative on many levels. To catch yourself up to date visit Hiding Easter Eggs: Idiot’s Guide (Pt. 1). There you will find areas indoor and outdoor to hide Easter eggs, including warnings as to where not to hide Easter eggs. You will see that hiding Easter eggs is so easy, a rabbit could do it! Ever see a rabbit do anything other than nibble and hop? We pick up from there.

One way to make things interesting and save money is to use smaller Easter eggs. This not only makes it more challenging to the older children, you get more in a bag. What to put in these small Easter eggs? Anywhere you wish, but for larger Easter eggs, we have the perfect ideas with more soon to come.

This is when dying Easter eggs in brown, green, and beige colors can create a camouflage. These camouflage eggs can be used for the next Easter egg hunt.

We take a walk through a park, whether forest or beach, cleared or full. Tell the children to explore under someone’s supervision, as the adult(s) hide the Easter eggs. Where to hide these oval beauties? Most outdoor parks have benches, stay away from them. They have spiders underneath at times that can create obstacles to this hunt. Best places are listed below:

After marking an area to hold this Easter egg hunt, place Easter eggs on a fold or dip in the ground, between tree brush or branches, on the end of a long branch fully leaved, or on tables behind cups, plates or bowls. Add some items onto the ground that many wouldn’t notice then place an Easter egg next to those items. Blend in the Easter eggs with the scenery if you can, that’s why they are camouflaged.

Hiding Easter eggs can be taken to another level. Here are some great ways to give a teen a challenge during their Easter egg hunt.

An online Easter egg hunt is not out of the question. If you know others that would comply, have an Easter egg hunt through them via riddles. Once the teen finds their ending conspirator, they receive their award (a special surprise). What prize? Perhaps a note that there is a box under their bed labeled to them with an item inside, or a gift card for an online store. Remember that all Easter gift giving should reflect something appealing to the taker’s taste. If this doesn’t agree with you, here is an off-line Easter egg hunt that offers more than just an interesting find.

With a note that shares of what the Easter gift is, your teens just may become more interested. The Easter gift inside of a large plastic egg could be movie tickets for them and a friend, money or an Easter gift card. Here’s how they get their hands on one of these golden Easter eggs. For each necessary chore comes an egg. Offer the Easter egg gift when the third chore is complete, and watch their eyes light up, turning a moment into a memory.

As Easter draws near, there is more to share for that bunny at heart. For now, the best way to enjoy Easter is to soon prepare for a wonderful Easter holiday before April 2009.

Ben Stiller Portraying Joaquin Phoenix: Read the 2009 Oscar Words, Did Ben Go Too Far?

At the 2009 81st Academy Awards Oscars show Ben Stiller and Natalie Portman were introduced to present the Best Cinematography Oscar winner. Ben Stiller dressed as Joaquin Phoenix came on stage chewing gum. As Natalie introduced information of Cinematography, Ben, Joaquin, seemed a bit dazed and confused.

Natalie speaks and says: “It’s your turn”
Ben (Joaquin) says: “Oh..oh, that’s right Natalie, I heard the Slumdog Millionaire was shot entirely on his cell phone. Wha..oh.”
Natalie responds: “What’s going on with you?”
Ben says while doing his best Joaquin imitation: “Nothing I just want to, I’m tired of being the funny guy, that’s all.”
Natalie then says: “You look like you work in a fake Meth Lab. What do you want to do, what do you want to do?”
Ben (Joaquin) shares: “I don’t know, I, maybe… Cinematography.”
Natalie ends with “Oh, I hope that works out for you.”
Ben responds by saying “thank you.”

Then Natalie described the Imax movie of The Dark Knight. Ben (playing Joaquin) wonders his eyes to the screen where it appeared larger than life and seemed to take his mind away. Ben then walked in a slow circle to stare at the backdrop of the wall. Ben then snapped out of it to speak one last time at the microphone, “Cin..nematography.” Slumdog Millionaire won with Anthony Dod Mantle.

Ben who’s playing Joaquin who’s playing a hip hop artist couldn’t have done a better job, however he may have gone over and above to make fun of a guy that perhaps does not deserve such spectacle. Ben Stiller’s imitation was a harsh lesson that people will be cruel in the entertainment world. Do you agree?

2009 81st Academy Awards Oscars: Hugh Jackman & Anne Hathaway Sings

On Sunday February 22nd ABC shared the Academy Awards Oscars sparked up with talent from Hugh Jackman. Hugh came onto the stage in a nice tux and black tie. First he gives notice to Kate Winslet. With words of fancy and a fun spin on Robert Downey Jr. Hugh mentioned of Robert who’s an American played an Australian playing an African American nominated, but as for Hugh, Jackman who’s an Australian who played an Australian in a movie called Australia, hosting. He also added America’s financial crisis by saying that next year he would be starring in a movie called New Zealand. It’s just the way he rocks, as he joked that it took all night in his garage to create this tribute. Host Hugh Jackman’s songs were quite a surprise.

Hugh Jackman sings:

“Just humble Slumdog…
sitting in a chair of a millionaire.
What will I be holding, in the end?
What’s my final answer?
Is it written there, do I really care?
I’m only here so I could phone a friend.

If I thought I that I could find the equivalence.
I would swim a sea of human excrements.
It’s hard to get my story with this sentiments.
This Slumdog Millionaire just needs some Milk!
I’m talking ’bout M*i*l*k, I’m talkin’ ’bout milk!”

Then Hugh goes into his Milk song and dance followed with a couple of mentions of movies that shine in possibility for an Academy Awards Oscar that night. Hugh asked for the help of Annie, (Anne Hathaway) then whisked her onto stage. Hugh begins another entertaining song with the movie Frost/Nixon in mind.

“Why didn’t you burn the tapes?”
Anne speaks: “I don’t know what I’m suppose to say here”
Hugh sings: “18 minutes all erased”
Anne speaks: “‘I mean, it’s an honor. I just…would’ve loved a heads up.”
Hugh continues: “America deserves an apology”
Annie sings: “Franklin Langella was sitting right next to me”
Hugh: “Stop your lies right now, and tell the truth!”
Anne answers like Ralph’s wife: “Do you really want to do this Jackman?”
Jackman corrects her: “It’s Frost! Confess to me!”
Anne sings: “Why can’t you let this be? Give me my dignity!”
Hugh and Anne sings: “Look what you’ve done to me.”
And when Anne hit that high note, the audience was pleased. The song continues as Anne says near the end: “Mr. Frost, I think I love you.”
Hugh says: “Ohhh Nixon…You know I love you too…Anne Hathaway”

Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway did well, and Hugh’s Nixon marked a fun moment within the night of the 81st Academy Awards.

Hugh then began with a techno sound singing The Reader. Then Hugh swung with the intro to his last combo. At the end Hugh honored The Wrestler as two cheesy paper type Oscars were lifted in a fake boxing ring. “Because I’m Hugh Jackman,” Hugh sings as he reaches all the high notes. This performance was enough to take the night.

A standing ovation for Mr. Jackman, well deserved for his humorous performance. He then thanked Anne Hathaway and the real Nixon (Frank Langella). Then he went to Rourke and said he looked great. Hugh said that if Rourke goes on stage they will move the acceptance speech to twenty minutes. Hugh then said that he was obligated to mention Joli and Pitt with a word for Brad about his outfit. He gave notice to Meryl Streep’s 15 year Oscar nominations then Hugh said that with numbers like that, one word comes to mind…steroids. What an incredible beginning to the 81st Oscars, as Hugh lands a home run on the first hit of the night.

Special thanks to wrabbit for filling in the holes.

Attorney General Eric Holder States America is a “Nation of Cowards”, Do You Agree?

Martin Luther King is one of the best examples of peaceful change, however Malcolm X stressed that force may be a better approach to be heard. Times have changed since America has voted in their first black man as the 44th US President.  America also has marked history in 2009 with their first black Attorney General, Eric Holder as well.  Yesterday Attorney General Eric Holder stated that America is a “nation of cowards” after sharing his belief over America’s ethnic melting pot.  This has concerned many since the world now hears his view.

What Eric Holder may have forgotten to consider would be the outside influences that may take this statement the wrong way. Obama has not mentioned much of the serious border control that is falling apart when it comes to Mexico and other imaginary lines drawn. With Zetas organization growing fear amongst many, they will simply take the statement “nation of cowards” as a green light to invade behind the shadows. Many across the country believe that the Zetas can’t touch them, however America is ONE country of many and if we do not help our white, brown, yellow, purple, blue brothers and sisters, we are not worthy to say “united we stand”. But what other damage could occur from the simple words “nation of cowards” coming from the mouths of those running America? We explore discrimination with the lack of credit due.

If Mr. Holder thinks that Americans should talk about what others have and others don’t, perhaps Mr. Holder should live where we do. A rainbow of friendships gathered by getting along rather than gathered merely from where a person comes or what pigment color their skin holds. It is our belief that Holder has a lack of faith in the intelligence of others. What Mr. Holder may open doors to would be more separation instead of unity. Is this what America voted him in for? No. America did not vote him in, they voted Obama in. Personally I did not vote Obama in since I feel that his policies would harm more than help, however McCain did appear to have some policies that I also did not agree with. When I collected the pros and cons, that is where I based my vote. It wouldn’t have mattered if they were green, may the best man that I feel can pass good laws wins. And that is the best thing about America. If you voted Obama in, I think that it is a great thing to be able to choose someone, even if our choices are different. Never did it have a thing to do with colors. America to me should be colorblind. If some are not, they may be soon…to each their own.

But when I see outside being countries thinking that America is a “nation of cowards” and mocking with laughter over it as if America is a swamp of losers, this concerns me as it should you. The statement “nation of cowards” is far from patriotic and is not deserved to all hard working loving American citizens regardless. What can we do about this America? Gain back our reputation, one posting at a time.

For those whom believe that Holder was accurate during Black History month, that is fine. For the sake of the rest of the tax paying citizens and the security of our borders, you may want to keep that one under you hat. No, this does not make me a coward, it makes me respectful of my neighbor. America in my belief is not a nation of cowards, and those whom walk over our borders thinking that we are vulnerable…you may be in for a deep surprise.

Will Journalists and Bloggers Tread on Themselves?

As the 44th US President Barack Obama signs in the stimulus package with broadband changes in mind, where does this leave the journalists and bloggers on this internet highway?  When it comes to copyright infringement, the MPAA encouraged Obama to introduce the three strike rule meaning that if they suspect you of copyright infringement three times, you will have your ISP connection turned off.  This stemmed from a piracy issue.  How does all of this mix into the FBI employment rate?  The FBI sought to hire the most employees of it’s history during 2009 which means more “FB eyes watching”.

The other day the reports surfaced of Facebook and content control.  What others may be missing is that perhaps after Facebook does gain that control, they just may be held more accountable for some of the content you apply through their website.  Facebook users are upset to be regulated, however overlooked that they clicked OK to the agreement which allows Facebook to delete your page if you do anything illegal.  Facebook had control already, it was simply hidden between the lines.  Some news gates monitor Facebook, Twitter, and the blogging fountain to see what’s new on the outer media front.  But after a while, there will be some changes to this as it is founded that some have taken advantage of this propaganda tool to seek their inner needs rather than spread a fact.  What does this mean for journalists and bloggers?

Journalists and bloggers need to be*a*ware of this unfolding internet situation since they just may be screened through the process of trying to sift out any inner domestic problem such as sex offenders trying to find victims and terrorism connections trying to be met.  It causes a catch-22 however.  When J. Edgar Hoover tapped into the lives of the innocent, they found some form of label (communists) to make it OK.  Who’s not to say that will not occur with the mainstream of journalists and bloggers all due to the bad apples of the bunch?  But instead of becoming paranoid, how can you as a journalist or blogger make your point without worrying about the possibilities of having your ISP turned off?  Visit Sons of Liberty Via Reality:  Will Journalists and Bloggers Tread on Themselves?

Peanut Corporation of America

Kenneth Kendrick worked for Peanut Corporation of America back in 2006. Peanut Corp., PCA, owner Stewart Parnell had been forewarned by Kendrick of the unhealthy conditions which included rodents present and a leaky roof that led bird feces into the building posing health risks of contamination. Not long ago the employees were speaking of the management and how they were ignored when they had noticed such poor conditions. But Kenneth Kendrick was an assistant manager taking these issues up with the company. Mr. Parnell ignored him so Mr. Kendrick did the next best thing, or at least he thought. He contacted the Texas Department of Health. What did they do? He never heard back from them until those from STOP contacted Mr. Kendrick to assist.

Kenneth shared this Thursday and today on an ABC exclusive. How did Kenneth know something about the contamination? His own granddaughter became ill, and Kenneth’s concerns grew. His granddaughter lived to receive help, however Kenneth admitted that it was so horrifying that he wouldn’t even wish salmonella upon Stewart Parnell.

Stewart Parnell and his team of cronies pleaded the 5th at a hearing last week and then filed for Chapter 7 which can take up time away from the courtroom. Chapter 7 liquidates a company, but where will those instruments go that have been tainted by salmonella? If the feds do not confiscate them, many are not sure what will be transported where. Until the information comes available, we can only guess.

As for the past Peanut Corporation of America managers and assistant managers, some did what they could just as Mr. Kendrick had but failed to get far with a fellow such as Stewart Parnell. As for the ex-employees that claim that the management ignored them, perhaps it wasn’t the managers ignoring them…it was Parnell ignoring the managers. As soon as updates come in, we will keep you informed.

2009 Super Bowl XLIII Commercials & Pregame / Top Music Picks

“During the 2009 Super Bowl, many were in anticipation over the Super Bowl XLIII commercial ads. When the entire world captured the best of Bridgestone and Doritos, some wondered, what about those Super Bowl commercials with music in them? Here are the top three picks.

First of the 2009 Super Bowl commercial ads which included music went to Hyundai. Hyundai offered much for their Super Bowl XLIII commercials, even though underscored by the popularity of other Super Bowl commercials. With the powerful sounds of the Smashing Pumpkins band, a car commercial has been born, as the Smashing Pumpkins played to the tune of a racing Hyundai car. The Smashing Pumkins has always been a great pick for commercial background sound, and in this case, the Smashing Pumkins delivered their smashing message for Hyundai…”  For the rest of this list visit 2009 Super Bowl Commercials: Top Ads with Music.

Visit: Empire State Building: Largest Heist in American History as the Empire Strikes Back!

Just when you thought no one could do more harm, Bernard “Bernie” Madoff just may have pulled off the largest Ponzi scheme in history. If Bernie wanted to make it into the history books he could have saved himself time and stopped long ago. However, Mr. Madoff continued to climb his financial well of stolen investments until it landed him in hot water. As many know, Madoff sent out packages of expensive items while under house arrest. During the last week of January the authorities uncovered a potential source of Bernie Madoff’s past files tucked away. Meanwhile Bernie complains of being held a prisoner during his luxury Penthouse arrest. The amount in question thus far has reached over $50 million dollars, and climbing.
