THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELLPHONE COULD DO

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

1. EMERGENCY

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you,and interestingly this number 112can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.

2. Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have remote keys?

This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

3. Hidden Battery power

Imagine your cell battery isvery low , you are expecting an important calland you don't have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will restart withthis reserve and the instrument will show a 50%increase in battery. Thisreserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.

4.How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 # A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. when your phone get
stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They
will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the
SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either.

5. Be careful while using your mobile phone

When you try to call someone through mobile phone,don't put your mobile closer
to your ears until the recipient answers. Because directly after dialing, the mobile phone would use it's maximum signaling power, which is: 2watts = 33dbi Please Be Careful (Save your brain) Please use left ear while using cell (mobile), because if you use the right one it will affect brain directly.

P.S i havent tried these myself but if you do and any one of them works then....

Looking out for a hero

I grew up in 1990s watching Pakistanis garnering trophies in cricket, hockey, squash and snooker simultaneously. The many heroes of our national teams were held in high esteem. Wasim Akram, Shahbaz Ahmed Senior and Jansher Khan, just to name a few, were considered icons of their games – and role models for the nation.

That said, cricket remained the most popular sport among Pakistani youth. Frenzy for the game took hold and poured into the streets as scenes of young kids playing cricket with tennis balls became common. Some argue that it was the absence of new gadgets in that era which made cricket the most popular sport, but I think it was the intense feeling of affiliation with the cricket team that had turned every young boy into a bowler or a batsman. Even those who could not wield a bat or bowl at a good length used to reply, “we are good fielders.”

When the players start getting slapped by frequent bans on stupid yet apparently avoidable actions; when the Afridis start biting the balls; when the Akhtars spend most of the time off the field; when the Asifs are caught with illegal drugs at foreign airports; when the Maliks and the Yousufs fight duels for the captaincy – that’s when the young ones turn off their TV sets and turn on their gaming consoles. It is the time when people start taking the match-fixing allegations of Sarfraz Nawaz seriously.

Even the most loyal fans feel it is a waste of time to put up with the present misery inflicting the game. They are left disillusioned and frustrated at the sorry state of affairs of Pakistani cricket.

The security situation in the country has also hurt the cause of cricket. Even those who did not play on the streets used to go to the stadiums with painted faces and placards to cheer for their team. Unfortunately, there will be no international matches for the time being. The 2011 World Cup has been taken away from Pakistan and, in the process, the hopes and plans of many have been shattered.

Cricket will hardly die away from Pakistan, for hearts of many still beat with it. However, the youth will search in vain for role models or icons within the game owing to the fact that current players have broken many young hearts. I am not arguing that our cricket team was ever invincible. We did face many defeats before 2003. But back then, when you asked a kid about his or her heroes in the team, even after our team had lost a match, he would always come up with one or two names. Now you often get the reply, “I do not follow cricket anymore.”

Wisconsin farmer has world's tallest horse

POYNETTE: The Wisconsin owner of a 6-foot, 10.75-inch horse said the animal is being officially recognized as the tallest of its species by the Guinness World Records.

Jerry Gilbert, co-owner of Smokey Hollow Farm near Poynette, said Big Jake the 9-year-old Belgian gelding, standing at 20 hands, 2.75 inches from the bottom of his hooves to his withers, will be officially presented to the public Friday as the world's tallest living horse, the Portage (Wis.) Daily Register reported Thursday.

The previous record holder was a Clydesdale horse from Texas standing 20 hands tall.

Gilbert said he received word of Big Jake's certification from Guinness in late March. He said the horse will be crowned Friday at the Midwest Horse Fair in Madison.

"He's not guaranteed to be in the book," Gilbert said, referring to the Guinness Book of World Records. "The 2010 edition may have already gone to press, but maybe he'll be in the 2011 edition."
