In the tradition of Bob Hope, WWE brings together the best of entertainment and pop culture with celebrity appearances and performances for our servicemen and women to celebrate their dedication and commitment to our country with a holiday program that is considered one of television’s most patriotic and heartwarming shows. NBCUniversal joins WWE in saluting our troops with special messages from some of their networks’ biggest names such as TODAY anchors Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie, Natalie Morales, and Al Roker, Seth Meyers, The Kardashians, Andy Cohen, Giuliana Rancic, Katherine Heigl, Lester Holt, Padma Lakshmi, Mark Feuerstein, Debra Messing, Tom Brokaw, Rachel Maddow and Carson Daly, as well as the coaches of The Voice, Pharrell Williams, Gwen Stefani, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.

Numi Organic Tea Launches: Together For H2OPE #4H2OPE

Numi Organic Tea, a leading purveyor of premium quality organic, non-GMO and fair trade certified teas and teasans, is pleased to announce a new fundraising initiative for charity: water, “Together for H2OPE.”

“My sister Reem and I started Numi Organic Tea because we believe everyone deserves a good cup of quality tea. But, what’s tea without water? “remarked Ahmed Rahim, co-founder of Numi Organic Tea. He continued, “While we’re fortunate to have access to clean, safe drinking water, one in every nine people on the planet, almost 1 billion people, live without this basic human right.” Reem Rahim added, “We want to change that. Through our Together for H2OPE initiative we are partnering with charity: water to help bring clean, safe drinking water to people in need.”

To help spread the word, Numi is asking their “communi’tea” to share a moment of gratitude for our access to clean, safe water and post a photograph of a favorite moment that includes water or water activities via Twitter and/or Instagram with the hashtag #4H2OPE. For every individual who shares their #4H2OPE moment, Numi will donate one dollar to charity: water. While Numi will be providing creative prompts, some of these moments include:

• Favorite moment with tea
• Favorite water moment with friends
• Favorite water moment with animals
• Favorite winter water moment
• Favorite water adventure
• Favorite furry friend water moment
• Most influential moment without water
• Favorite habitual moment with water (i.e. bathing, washing hands, etc.)
• Water celebration moment

At the conclusion of the program, Numi will compile the photos that have been shared and ask consumers to vote on their favorites. Because one in nine people (near one billion) live without access to clean, safe drinking water, nine category winners will receive a Numi Organic Tea gift.

In addition, Numi Organic Tea will expand the program in 2015 by asking conscious tea lovers from all over the country to host their own fundraising parties, continuing to raise money for charity: water. When charity: water first began, founder Scott Harrison threw a fundraising birthday party, where he asked his friends and family to donate to his cause of bringing clean water to those in need instead of giving him gifts. Since then, people have been replacing birthday parties with fundraising events all around the world. Numi Organic Tea is asking consumers to do the same, and calling it Tea Time for H2OPE. To participate, hosts need to join Numi’s charity: water campaign via numitea.com/H2OPE or my.charitywater.org/numitea and raise at least fifty dollars.

Once the fifty dollar fundraising is reached, Numi will send the host a Tea Time for H2OPE party-hosting kit which includes an assortment of Numi Organic Tea’s non-GMO, fair trade certified teas and teasans, a food pairing guide, party favors and prizes for twenty people, and more. Numi Organic Tea will match funds raised from nine parties based on criteria such as highest contribution, greatest number of guests, most original tea party theme, among others. To be considered, hosts must send photos and event recaps to h2ope@numitea.com.

Numi has also developed an integrated program with their retail partners called Wishing Wells. This piece of the campaign encourages an in store display of a Numi branded “wishing well.” Shoppers are invited to write their wishes for the world on a piece of paper and throw it into the well. For each wish, Numi will donate a TBD amount to Charity Water.



By coming Together for H2OPE, consumers and the communi’tea can join Numi in their aim to bring clean, safe drinking water to people in need. Because in the end it all boils down to water. For more information on charity: water, consumers can visit http://www.charitywater.org/.

Home Tech Trends: Nucleus Internet Intercom

 

A new technology called “Nucleus” is a smart, Internet-connected intercom system that allows users to instantly connect via audio or video to anyone on the same system – whether they are in the next room or the next country. One tap and Nucleus can help call the family for dinner, check on a baby, or have a face-to-face conversation with an aging parent.

www.nucleusintercom.com

What makes Nucleus unique is that instead of bad audio and expensive wiring, Nucleus uses Wi-Fi, an HD camera, and a touch screen to provide a higher-quality intercom at a fraction of the price. And because Nucleus is Internet-connected, it allows home-owners to extend the intercom system anywhere in the world. The Nucleus Intercom System is ideal for parents checking on kids in other rooms in the home; for parents at work checking on kids in the home; family members checking on elderly parents living alone; as is also great for use as a baby monitor….all with just one tap on the screen.

Nucleus is installed throughout the home, so it becomes the ideal hub of the "connected home" - integrating with other smart home appliances as well.

About Nucleus
Nucleus was invented by entrepreneur Jonathan Frankel out of his frustration with traditional intercom systems. In early 2013, Frankel was renovating his home and wanted an intercom system to keep tabs on his three little boys; (they had a tendency to destroy the house when not being watched). But when all the quotes came in above $3,000 for the same system his parents installed twenty years ago, Jonathan went looking for a wireless option. Realizing that none existed, Jonathan decided to launch Nucleus to help others in his position.

Jonathan Frankel is not a single-sided individual – he is an ordained Rabbi; received a B.A. in Computer Science magna cum laude from Yeshiva University, and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. He has worked as a developer for JPMorganChase, a legal and investment intern for two hedge funds, and most recently, a management consultant at the Boston Consulting Group.

Quiznos is Now Offering BBQ! @Quiznos

Though we are almost done with National BBQ Month in May, we are definitely in the season when grills come out, the weather heats up and summer kicks off. Starting just over a week ago, Quiznos is now offering two new BBQ subs for a limited time: the Spicy BBQ Pulled Pork Sub and the Southern BBQ Pulled Pork Sub, both made with Quiznos homemade BBQ sauce.

I had the chance to try both of these on two different occasions and let me tell you both are amazingly tasty! I loved the flavor of both, but am a bit partial to the Spicy BBQ, though the Southern BBQ was still great!

As always, the grilled nature of these subs simply makes the food taste even better and with both of these this is definitely the case.

Though May is almost over, I for one am hoping that both these subs may stay on the menu for the foreseeable future!

Disney Unveils Frozen Themed Suite at Quebec City's Ice Hotel

Today, Walt Disney Studios has unveiled the first images from the Frozen-inspired suite at Quebec City’s famed Hôtel de Glace, in celebration of Disney’s “FROZEN” Blu-ray & Digital HD release.

Created entirely out of sculpted ice and snow and supervised by the film’s art director Michael Giaimo, the “Frozen Suite” is modeled after Anna & Elsa’s bedrooms. The collaboration will also include a “Frozen Activity Cave” bringing the wonder of Disney’s wintry tale to life like never before. The suite will be unveiled this weekend and remain open through March 23.

About Disney’s Frozen
Walt Disney Animation Studios, the studio behind “Tangled” and “Wreck-It Ralph,” presents “FROZEN” a chilly twist on one of the most humorous and heartwarming stories ever told. “FROZEN” is an adventure that delivers a fresh and contemporary take on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic winter myth “The Snow Queen,” features an ensemble cast of fun and entertaining characters, including a comedic snowman brought to life by magic, as they embark on an exciting journey to save the kingdom from eternal winter and bring back summer!

Fearless optimist Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) sets off on an epic journey—teaming up with rugged mountain man Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff) and his loyal reindeer Sven—to find her sister Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel), whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf (voice of Josh Gad), Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.

The film is directed by Chris Buck (“Tarzan,” “Surf’s Up”) and Jennifer Lee (screenwriter, “Wreck-It Ralph”), who also wrote the screenplay. It is produced by Peter Del Vecho (“Winnie the Pooh,” “The Princess and the Frog”). Featuring original songs from Kristen Anderson-Lopez (“In Transit,” “Winnie the Pooh”) and Tony® winner Robert Lopez (“The Book of Mormon,” “Avenue Q”), and an original score by Christophe Beck (“The Muppets,” Oscar®-winning short “Paperman”).

Bring home Disney’s “FROZEN” on Digital HD & 3D February 25th and Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD & On-Demand March 18th — featuring a blizzard of never-before-seen bonus extras with gorgeous animation, memorable characters and unforgettable music. It’s dazzling fun for the whole family!

Dan Stevens records Iliad and Odyssey audiobooks

English stage and screen actor Dan Stevens, best known for his portrayal of Matthew Crawley on Downton Abbey, is set to narrate a new and exciting production of the Fitzgerald translation of The Iliad and The Odyssey for Macmillan Audio. The new programs will go on sale in August 2014, just in time to be included in fall 2014 classroom curriculums.

Robert Fitzgerald's translations of The Iliad and The Odyssey are the best-loved modern translations of the greatest of all epic poems. Since 1961, Fitzgerald’s translation of The Odyssey has sold more than two million copies, and it is the standard translation for three generations of students and poets. Of the many translations published since World War II, only Fitzgerald's has won admiration as a great poem in English.

Macmillan Audio is delighted to publish the new audio editions of these classic works. Fitzgerald's supple verse is ideally suited to the story of Odysseus' battle epic and long journey back to his wife and home, and the melodious narration of the incomparable Dan Stevens succeeds in further electrifying the story. Homer's tale of love, adventure, food and drink, sensual pleasure, and mortal danger is brought to life for English speakers with this perfect combination of translation and reader.

The Iliad and The Odyssey are part of an oral tradition, and although people have been reading them for centuries in written form, audio is actually the original method through which to enjoy these works. In a clear, controlled, and authoritative voice, Dan Stevens brings listeners back to the original method through which Homer’s stories were meant to be absorbed. His narration makes these complex and intricate verses easy for students to comprehend, making them ideal for inclusion in classroom curriculums and study-guides. The programs will be available wherever audiobooks are sold in stores and online.

Here is a clip from this great recording - http://www.pillowarmy.com/The_Odyssey-clip.mp3
