5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do

Cinnamon Girl — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 09:20:19 -0700

For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)

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:

FIRST
Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.

If you find
Yourself out of the 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 112
can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND
Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? 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).

Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked
Our car over a cell phone!'

THIRD
Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your cell battery is very low.

To activate, press the
keys *3370#.

Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument
will show a 50% increase in battery.

This reserve will get charged when you
charge your cell phone next time.

FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following
Digits on your phone: *#06#.

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.

If everybody does this, there

would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

And Finally....

FIFTH
Free Directory Service for Cells

Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.

75 or more for
411 information calls when they don't have to.

Most of us do not
carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation
even more of a problem.

When you need to use the 411 information

option, simply dial: (800)FREE411 , or (800) 373-3411 without incurring
any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so
Pass it on to your family and friends.

Michelle Williiams releases statement about Heath Ledger -- her heart is broken.

timberlake_box_lover — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 11:10:50 -0800

LOS ANGELES, Feb 1 (Reuters) - In her first statement since the death of her former companion Heath Ledger, actress Michelle Williams said she is suffering from a broken heart and asked for privacy for her and daughter Matilda.

"Please respect our need to grieve privately," Williams said in a statement released on Friday by Ledger's spokeswoman. "My heart is broken."

Williams, 27, and Ledger, an Australian actor, met on the set of the 2005 movie "Brokeback Mountain," fell in love and had Matilda, who is now 2 years old. They split up in September.

"I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father," Williams said in her statement.

"All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up with the best memories of him."

Ledger, 28, and Williams lived together in New York and there was speculation they planned to marry, although they never officially confirmed an engagement.

Ledger was found dead in his bed on Jan. 22 in his New York apartment with sleeping pills and prescription drugs nearby, police said. The cause of death has yet to be determined but an official with the New York Medical Examiner's office said autopsy results were due Tuesday or Wednesday.

I just got a lump in my throat from reading this. More pictures at the source...Matilda is a spitting image of her dad.

CONFIRMED - New Kids On The Block (NKOTB) Comeback!!!

New Kids On The Block Stage Comeback

After months of speculation and rumor, the Kids are coming back. A well-placed source tells PEOPLE exclusively that New Kids On The Block are indeed getting back together.

The band's Web site, www.nkotb.com, which had been dormant, is now back up and running in anticipation of the official announcement, which the source says will be made in the next few weeks.

The site currently features a television graphic with a fuzzy, flickering photos of NKOTB in their heyday, and a link inviting fans to sign up for info.

The boy band, which made legions of tweens swoon in the early '90s, selling more than 50 million albums, became a worldwide phenomenon before calling it quits in 1994.

Eighteen years later, they're still "Hangin' Tough." The oldest "Kid," Jonathan Knight, now a real estate developer, will turn 40 later this year. Since the band's demise, former members Donnie Wahlberg, 38, and Joey McIntyre, 35, have seen acting success, while Danny Wood, 38, has worked as a music producer and Knight's brother, Jordan, 37, has continued to record.

Brody Jenner has a new girlfriend who will NOT be on "The Hills"

timberlake_box_lover — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 12:41:06 -0800

Brody Jenner says his new girlfriend Cora Skinner has met his mom and dad, but he won’t be introducing her to The Hills crew anytime soon.

“She’s met the parents. She’s part of the family. But no, she’s not on the show,” Jenner, 24, told PEOPLE at the Pepsi Stuff launch party at Pacha in New York Thursday. “I’m choosing to keep her away from being on The Hills because that would bring a lot of conflict [and] drama to the relationship concerning me and Lauren [Conrad].

Conrad, who turns 23 Feb. 1, was the last gal pal to receive an enthusiastic thumbs up from Jenner parents, Olympic star Bruce Jenner and his wife Kris Kardashian. And despite any possibility of a reality show conflict, Jenner conceded, “[Skinner] may do a little guest appearance.”

But the 22-year-old model is no stranger to the camera, having appeared in Maxim, Playboy’s lingerie catalog, and on CSI: Miami. However, camera shots aren’t the kind that interests Jenner. “My family comes from the South. And I love a girl who can hold a shot gun,” he said of the pair’s skeet shooting outings. “I don’t know what it is. But a girl that can hold a shotgun well … that turns me on.”

And what does he say she likes about him? “My bedroom style,” he says.

PHARRELL'S "BLASON" LINE FOR LOUIS VUITTON

timberlake_box_lover — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 12:37:08 -0800

Here is some background information from Luxist.com:

Okay, so I first heard in April 2006 that musician Pharrell Williams who had already worked with Louis Vuitton to create the Millionaire sunglasses line would be creating a new line of jewelry for the fashion house. At the time, it was said that the line, that Pharrell would work on with designer Camille Miceli for a line that would debut in early 2007. So we waited. And waited. Now, Fashion Week Daily, reports that the new line, Blason, will finally have its debut on January 21. The line was inspired by "the music universe" and features pieces made from white gold with diamonds and yellow gold with diamonds. No pictures yet but there will be four separate and distinctly themed lines under Blason that will range in price from approximately $2,070 to $621,000.
