ICE your cell phone

By -
The ICE Campaign was started by East Anglian Ambulance in the UK, whose staff often found themselves trying to figure out who to contact when they were called to an emergency and the patient was unable to tell them. If you were unable to tell others, who would you want others to contact you "In Case of Emergency"?

Vodafone jumped on board the campaign in April, and PC Magazine explains why it's better to ICE your phone than just expect emergency workers to look for mom's number.

Hi Scott,

I am new to blogger, and I am trying to figure out how you did something.......

How the HECK did you manage to create hotlinks inside your blog posts? For example, ICE Campaign, East Anglian Ambulance, and the Vodaphone article are ALL rollover hotlinks.

Moreover, I wish those articles opened in a NEW WINDOW.

Anyway, thanks if you get this comment and get back to me, and thanks for your blog. I am enjoying it greatly.

FYI I am a Landmark graduate and I completed the Partnership course. Not P&C yet.......

The link is easy - when you're composing, there's an icon in the top of the window that looks like a globe with two pieces of chain... highlight the words you want to link and then click on the globe. It pops up with a window to put where you want the link to take you.

As for new window, I have my blogroller set to open in new windows, but not my blog entries. Have to poke around and remember how to do that.

"See Paris First"

By -
I got this from Sandy Robbins , who I saw perform the poem in May 2006, and it is written by the poet  Marsha Truman Cooper . First published in River City, and then in "Substantial Holdings" (1987, 2002) FEARING PARIS Suppose that what you fear could be trapped, and held in Paris. Then you would have the courage to go everywhere in the world. All the directions of the compass open to you, except the degrees east or west of true north that lead to Paris. Still, you wouldn’t dare put your toes smack dab on the city line. You’re not really willing to stand on a mountainside miles away, and watch the Paris lights come up at night. Just to be on the safe side, you decide to stay completely out of France. But then danger seems too close even to those boundaries, and you feel the timid part of you covering the whole globe again. You need the kind of friend who learns your secret and says, “See Paris first.”

Time to unleash the human spirit?

By -
My friend Mary Stroupe spoke about some of the things she's discovered during her years of working with The Hunger Project . The purpose of The Hunger Project is to end hunger. That's been the purpose of the organization since it's inception in 1977, and ending hunger is quite a different task from just feeding people. On an investor trip to small villages in Senegal, where the investors (not donors) had been noticing how incredibly quickly the villagers would recognize and jump on an opportunity, Karen Wolff (no relation) remarked to Mary that "The real shame is not the conditions that the impoverished people live in. The real shame is that we have so much and we're still afraid." Maybe it's not about feeding people, but about unleashing the human spirit , because when you do that, people can feed themselves.
