DISH offers BBC’s Blue Planet II in 4K & Sweepstakes

In 2001, the world was first captivated by BBC’s The Blue Planet, a nature documentary narrated by Sir David Attenborough, showcasing extraordinary marine creatures and underwater ecosystems. Nearly 17 years later, we get to experience this brilliance again in the sequel, Planet Earth: Blue Planet II – only this time, in stunning 4K resolution.

After the success of the original series, BBC sent crews on 125 expeditions across 39 countries to produce Blue Planet II. More than 6,000 hours of underwater footage from an estimated 4,000 dives were captured using breakthroughs in science and the most cutting-edge technology to provide audiences with mesmerizing, crystal-clear shots of our diverse oceans.

This eight-episode series premiered in January, but if you haven’t had a chance to watch, don’t worry—DISH is showcasing the documentary in 4K UHD on-demand now until April 9. It will also be available in HD on-demand if you don’t have a 4K TV setup. To watch, click the ‘home’ button on your remote and scroll to the on-demand menu to select Blue Planet II.

Plus, if you want to catch the remaining three episodes live in HD, all DISH customers can enjoy access to BBC America (channel 135) at no additional cost through March 6.

DISH customers can watch Blue Planet II on-demand in 4K UHD with a Hopper 3 or 4K Joey connected to a 4K TV. Don’t have a 4K TV? Enter for a chance to win a Samsung 75″ Silver UHD 4K HDR LED Smart HDTV on mydish.com/sweepstakes.*

About the Book

212º The Extra Degree is a must-have in every personal and business library. A Simple Truths #1 bestseller, the concept is simple: At 211º, water is hot. At 212º, it boils. And with boiling water comes steam. And steam can power a locomotive. The one extra degree makes the difference.

The 212º concept is vividly illustrated for every aspect of your life through powerful stories that will inspire and motivate yourself or your team to the next level of success.

We hope that you will join the people, businesses, and schools that have taken action and adopted the 212º concept and used the ONE extra degree to attain their goals.

Scaring Up Votes for Monsters Cereal - #Sweepstakes

Looking for an election candidate you can really stand behind?  This election year, your favorite more-friendly-than-frightening Monsters are vying against each other in hopes of being elected to the position of America’s favorite cereal Monster. With three awesome candidates in the running, my family was a little torn. 

 Franken Berry promises to electrify your breakfast with great berry flavor and always be frank.  My teen son's name name is Frank, so he felt he had to back his namesake.  He took to the poles to cheer on this berry-tastic candidate.  

Boo Berry is promising full transparency to get your vote.  My daughter Willow has always had the nickname of Boo because she used to look just like the little girl from Monsters Inc. So, of course, Boo Berry was her favorite pick. She was so enthusiastic, she tried to block Franken Berry's photo opp.

Count Chocula is currently leading the polls, working through the night to assure that if he’s elected America’s favorite cereal Monster,  he’ll deliver the goblin’ good chocolate people crave! My youngest song Nicky is a little monster himself (if you can't tell my his smile), but in this case the monster that had his vote was Count Chocula.

Though we had someone championing each of the candidates, in the end, there could be only one winner. My oldest daughter and I both cast our votes for Count Chocola, so he won the election in our house, and got the vote in the contest. I was excited to see that he's currently in the lead.

Now, you can get into the action too!   The election-themed Monster Cereals boxes are available in stores now and you can go online to vote. It’s a relatively open primary. Any resident of the U.S. who is 13 years of age or older can cast their vote for Boo Berry, Count Chocula or Franken Berry at MonstersVote2016.com for an opportunity to win sweet election prizes, including a chance at a $5,000 grand prize or instant prizes like DJ wireless headphones, cases of Monster Cereals or retro Monster t-shirts. Voting ends on October 31, 2016, and the spooktacular winning Monster will be announced on the campaign website November 1, 2016 (sweepstakes officially ends June 1, 2017).

My Thoughts

I am always looking for safe toys for my children.  Its important to know exactly what your toys are made us, and that there is no lead paint or other things that can cause brain damage or make children sick. At Green Toys, I found...well, I found Green Toys that are cute, fun and safe for kids of all ages. Plus they are environmentally friendly because they are made from recycled plastics. Even the package they come in made from recycled paper and soy based ink.

I love all of the toys from Green Toys, but the Rescue Boat & Helicopter   is special for a variety of reasons. Of course, I love that is a green product, made from recycled material, but that's only one perk, the largest being that it's two toys in one! You get a boat and a helicopter, two of my son's favorite things! This toy is very well made. It's larger than most toy boats or helicopters, sturdy. The the propellers really move and the boat actually floats in water. It even includes and adorable little bear and duck action figure to pilot the helicopter  and caption the boat.  There are no tiny pieces that break off, and it can be used both indoors and out. When kids are finished, the toy is easy to clean. You can wipe it down with water or even toss it in the dishwasher. Best of all, it's completely kid powered, so no batteries are required. This rescue boat & helicopter is a new take on a classic and a perfect toy for preschoolers. 

The Rescue Boat and Helicopter is only one example of the wonderful toys you can find at Green Toys. They also have dump trucks, fire trunks, tea sets, indoor gardening sets, jump robes, and more. To learn more about this great company and all they have to offer, you can check out their website. While you're there, be sure to sign up for their newsletter to keep up to date on the latest arrivals. You can also follow them on twitter or become their fan on face book. If you have a child, teach them early that being green can really make a difference with the wonderful toys from Green Toys.

You can always find the most popular toys at Kmart.
