I.C.E - In Case of Emergency
Do you know the term I.C.E or what it represents? No I'm not talking about the freezing cold slippy stuff that appears in the winter. I'm talking about the term that stands for In Case of Emergency. The term was coined in the 2000's to represent your emergency contact in case of any emergency. The idea is that you put a phone number of your emergency contact in your mobile phone under the name ICE. This enables any first responders, paramedics and emergency services etc to contact your chosen next of kin in an emergency.

Recent studies have shown that fewer than 25% of people carry any form of details about who they would like to be contacted following a serious accident. When something bad happens, time can be extremely crucial and by including a contact under ICE in your phone, it enables your next of kin to be contacted asap. This can also be used to find out any details of any existing medical condition that you may have that might be extremely important for the emergency services to know about when treating you.

The I.C.E idea is very simple but unfortunately only tends to get media coverage following a disaster. Events such as terrorist activities and natural disasters often highlight to the world that we aren't invincible and it can be in these times was ICE gets the most coverage urging everyone to include a contact in their mobile phone "just in case".

Other ways to identify and inform the emergency services of any medical conditions is by wearing medical id jewellery. There is a wide range of jewellery available now that can be engraved with your personal details and your medical condition which could save your life.

The I.C.E idea is very simple and makes a lot of sense. I urge you to include an ICE contact in your mobile phone now. After all it could save your life.

Premier League Football Season 2008-2009 Review

2008-07-12T10:41:00.000-07:00

Well with Euro 2008 well and truly finished, Spain finished up worthy champions. After playing with flair and style right through the group games up until the final against Germany, football truly won the prize this summer. This was an excellent football tournament to watch for all football fans.

The English Premier League season is a little over a month away with the first fixtures taking place on the 16th August. The big question on everyone's lips is will Ronaldo still be with Manchester United by then or will he be fulfilling his dream to play for Real Madrid? Alex Ferguson has kept a very dignified silence, maintaining his stance that no player is bigger then the club. The news must be somewhat disappointing for Man Utd fans, who would have been relishing at what other records Ronaldo could beat in the upcoming season. It seems that this story is set to drag on for a few more weeks yet, anyhow. Man United line up against Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Sunday 17th August, looking to get their first win of the season to start where they mean to carry on indefending their title.

Another match taking place on the 17th August is Chelsea kicking off their campaign against Portsmouth at Stamford Bridge. Speculation is rife about Lampard linking back up with Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan, but again like the Ronaldo story, it doesn't look set to be decided in the near future. Chelsea start their campaign with new manager Big Phil Scolari fresh from managing Portugal in Austria and Switzerland this summer. He promises to be another unique character in the Premiership and non Chelsea fans are looking forward to his involvement as much if not more than the Chelsea fans! Portsmouth start their season with their new signing fresh from Liverpool, Peter Crouch up front looking to play a lot more football this season after being used as a squad player by Rafa Benetiz last season. This is the third time that Harry Redknapp has signed the big centre forward, after being involved in his previous transfers to Liverpool and Southampton.

With Peter Crouch now gone to Portsmouth, Liverpool fans will be waiting to see who Rafa brings in as a replacement to play up front alongside Torres, although rumour has it that Ryan Babel will be played in a more forward position this season. Liverpool kick off against Sunderland away on Saturday 16th August hoping for a win. Liverpool's transfer dealings seem long from finished with Benetiz still to clinch Gareth Barry from Aston Villa. One thing's for sure, the fans on the famous Kop will be cheering and waving their flags and scarves for whoever Benetiz signs throughout the season as they do for the rest of the players.

Aston Villa start their season playing at home at Villa Park against Man City. It seems a dead cert that Gareth Barry will be moving to pastures new. Martin O'Neill has been confirmed as signing Steve Sidwell from Chelsea for £5 million today to strengthen the squad. Man City start the season after experiencing a summer of disruption with the predicted departure of once England manager Sven Goran Eriksson. Several players have left and new manager Mark Hughes seems to have a huge task on his hands this season to try to get them into a European place this season. Only time will tell.

Arsenal play their first home game of the season at The Emirates on Saturday 16th August against West Brom. Arsene Wenger has seen several of his first team players leave for other clubs, with Adebayor also looking to be leaving the club after Arsenal dropped the price they were asking for him. The Arsenal squad has not been stregthened this year and Arsenal fans will be a little worried to see what happens and what deals Arsene will do to bring new players in. Has their wage structure been a defining factor in players leaving the club and the failure to attract new ones? Only time will tell. West Brom will be looking to try not to lose in their first game back in the Premiership after their promotion last season. They are expected to be fighting for their lives come the end of the season trying to avoid relegation. Whatever happens the players can always count on their fans at The Hawthorns to give their all.

Bolton Wanderers start their season at home against Premiership newcomers Stoke City. The Stoke City fans will still have strong memories of that famous last game of the season which guaranteed them promotion to the Premiership in their heads. They will need twice the fight that they had last season to stay up this time around. Good luck to them, they'll need it! Bolton have recently released news that goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen and full-back Ricardo Gardner have signed new deals with the club.

Blackburn Rovers play away in their first game of the season against Everton at Goodison Park. Liverpool old boy has recently joined Blackburn for pre season training at another attempt to stay in the top flight for another season after his excellent season at Cardiff City last year. Everton striker will be looking to make his mark and try to improve upon his form from last season. Whether he will still be with the club come the end of the season is not known however with Wigan and Sunderland both trying to tempt Everton into selling him.

Premiership new boys Hull City start up at home against Fulham for their first game. Its sure to be a full house at the KC Stadium. Fulham will be hoping to avoid the same relegation battle that they went through last season which went down to the wire. They will be hoping to get off to the ideal start with a win against the new boys.

Tottenham Hotspur have had a relatively quiet summer, but they have been right up their over the past few days in the sports columns. Reports suggest that Man United have put a £10 million bid in for Berbatov, and with rumours also speculating about the alleged imminent departure of Robbie Keane to Liverpool, Spurs fans must be wondering who they will have up front to get them the goals in the coming season. They kick off away at Middlesborough on Saturday 26th August. Middlesborough have rumours of their own to contend with, with Rafa Benetez rumoured to be in the hunt for Stuart Downing. Boro will be keen to keep hold of their England International with the hope that he will be one of the main providers for their goals this season.

Finally last up are The Hammers at home on the 16th August against Wigan. West Ham will be looking to avoid relegation this season and hope to get into Europe. Star striker Freddie Freddie Ljungberg has quit international football to focus on playing for his club, which will only help the Hammers cause this season. Wigan will be in a similar situation to West Ham this season and will be hoping to avoid getting dragged into the relegation battle come the end of the season.

So with only 34 days to go until the first game of the season kicks off, English Premier League football fans all over the country from all the teams (and the world) will be starting to dream of their team winning the Premier League/FA Cup/Champions League. So relax, sit back, get the beers in and pay that subscription to Sky. There is a new dawn arising . . .

Beckham The Centurion!

2008-03-26T13:13:00.000-07:00

Tonight David Beckham makes his 100th cap in the England v France International Friendly tonight being held at the Stade De France. Speculation was rife on whether he would actually get his cap but Fabio Capello confirmed this afternoon that David Beckham would start on the right side of midfield.

Rumour had it that Beckham would be wearing some specially made boots with 100 in gold on the tongue of each. As Beckham lined up to take the first corner of the game it was clear the rumours were true. A man who likes his football memorabilia, he will certainly treasure those in the future.

The question on everyone's lips is will Beckham top off his celebratory night with a goal from a trademark free kick? One things for certain I don't think anyone will be fighting him for the ball should a freekick be awarded just outside the box!

Meanwhile the formation and line up was another talking point along with the question of the captaincy. Rio Ferdinand was the lucky man to get the nod for the captains armband. John Terry was overlooked amid speculation that the reason being his recent treatment towards referees. It will be interesting to see whether he changes his "game" to try to fit more into the captains role that Capello seems to be molding and putting on a pedestal.

England lined up 4-4-2 with Gerrard playing just off Wayne Rooney at the front. Beckham started on the right, Joe Cole on the left with Gareth Barry and Owen Hargreaves starting in the middle. The back four lined up with Ashley Cole on the left, Rio and Terry in the middle and Wes Brown on the right. A notable absentee was Frank Lampard who was reported to be suffering from a stomach bug.

Line Ups:
France: Coupet, Abidal, Gallas, Makelele, Malouda, Toulalan, Clerc, Thuram, Trezeguet, Ribery, Anelka. Subs: Landreau, Mexes, Cisse, Govou, Squillaci, Alou Diarra, Flamini, Evra.
England: James, Brown, Ferdinand, Terry, Ashley Cole, Beckham, Hargreaves, Barry, Joe Cole, Gerrard, Rooney. Subs: Robinson, Johnson, Lescott, Bridge, Bentley, Downing, Owen, Crouch, Walcott, Green.

Torres On Fire Again

2008-03-11T15:44:00.001-07:00

Tonight Liverpool FC have qualified for the quarter finals of the 2008 Champions League meaning that this year four out of the eight teams left in the competition come from the English Premier League joining Arsenal FC, Chelsea FC and Manchester Utd.

Gerrard led the reds to another European victory winning 1-0 on the night after winning 2-0 at home three weeks earlier in another memorable night at Anfield. Torres goal in the 64th minute ensured the following Liverpool faithful were able to wave their scarves and flags with pride.

Torres only had two shots on target all game but still managed to tuck the one away showing that another Anfield legend is already in the making. Liverpool started well and despite Inter Milan having a couple of chances that they spurned through selfish play they finished the game on top.

One of the talking points of the game was the sending off for Burdisso for his second yellow card. His foul on Lucas seemed a little unlucky to receive a second yellow card but his strong protests after the incident surely did him no favours. After the sending off Liverpool looked to be the better side, going forward when they had the ball. Gerrard had another excellent game and had a couple of shots on goal. The new formation which involves Rafa Benitez selecting two holding midfield players seems to be paying dividends and he must wish that he had started the season with this formation. The last few games for Liverpool have resulted in a bucket load of goals with Torres scoring five goals in the last three games earning his title of player of the month in the Premiership for February.

As soon as he sent off Burdisso in the 50th minute the referee set a precedence for himself and booked a further five players resulting in a total of 10 yellow cards including the two for Burdisso. The game was not especially full of fouls and Inter Milan will especially feel hard done by with the sending off.

By the end of the night Liverpool sailed through into the quarter finals completing the quartet of the top English Premiership Clubs getting through the first knock out round unscathed.
