ICE - In Case of Emergency

A campaign encouraging people to enter an emergency contact number in
their mobile phone's memory under the heading ICE (In Case of
Emergency), has rapidly spread throughout the world.

Originally established as a nation-wide campaign in the UK, ICE allows paramedics or police to be able to contact a designated relative
or next-of-kin in an emergency situation.

The idea is the brainchild of East Anglian Ambulance Service paramedic
Bob Brotchie and was launched in May 2005. Bob, 41, who has been a
paramedic for 13 years, said: "I was reflecting on some of the calls
I've attended at the roadside where I had to look through the mobile
phone contacts struggling for information on a shocked or injured
person. Almost everyone carries a mobile phone now, and with ICE we'd know immediately who to contact and what number to ring.
The person may even know of their medical history."

By adopting the ICE advice, your mobile will help the rescue services quickly contact a friend or relative - which could be vital in a life or
death situation. It only takes a few seconds to do, and it could easily
help save your life. Simply select your person to contact in case of
emergency, enter them under the word 'ICE' and the telephone number of the person you wish to be contacted.

It really could save your life, and put a loved one's mind at rest.

For more than one emergency contact name, enter ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.

Carnival in Rio (Carnaval in Portugese)

With the World Fusion Music Program we are currently doing at Hard Rock, we are pleased to announce a new trip to Rio de Janiero for 2006 for Carnival. The trip will include ticket to the Samba School Carnaval Parade at the Sambodrome.

The Samba School Parade is the heart of Carnaval. Samba Schools work hard all year to compete. There will be upwards of 5000 performers in each Samba School. Each school has only 80 minutes to perform and to show off all their hard work that they have done for the past 365 days. The elaborate costuming and music work to describe the overall theme of each school. The inclusion of famous personalities from around the world adds to it. The Samba Parade is in a private perfomance theatre only available by tickets that are sold out as much as a year in advance.

The parades start at 7pm and it all ends at 5am, so get your sleep when you get home.

The trip will be from Friday, February 24 - March 3, 2006. We have built in Wed and Thursday just for relaxing, sleeping and recouperating. Then when you get home Friday, you can sleep all weekend...
