Know your cell phone can do this???????????????????????
==================================================================================
THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE 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:
FIRST Subject: 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 Subject: 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 Subject: Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#
your cell 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
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: * # 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 gets 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
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) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all.
Program this into your cell phone now.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
homosexual kissing on day time show!!! let's stop this now....
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Take Action!
Call the toll-free number P&G has set up for the public regarding its promotion of the homosexual lifestyle. Call 1-800-331-3774 and click on option 2. Following the recording, click on option 2 again. There is not a live person at this number.
Forward this e-mail to family and friends and urge them to call and vote.
Reproduce this letter and distribute to others — Sunday School class, church, coworkers, etc. Ask your pastor to put this information in the church bulletin and newsletter.
If you have not already done so, send an email letter
to P&G opposing its promotion of homosexuality.

Procter & Gamble wants to know if you approve of its support of the homosexual lifestyle
Company establishes toll-free number to call
May 2, 2008
Dear Betty,
Procter & Gamble wants to know if you approve its efforts to promote the homosexual lifestyle. It has established a toll-free number for you to call and vote to approve or disapprove its support of homosexuality.
P&G has added homosexual lovers to its soap opera “As the World Turns.” It has also added scenes of homosexuals with open mouth kissing. The motive behind P&G’s push is to desensitize viewers, especially younger viewers, to the homosexual lifestyle. The ultimate goal of homosexual activists is homosexual marriage.
Thousands of homosexual activists are already calling P&G.

If you haven't had a chance to check out the new family film A Plumm Summer it's not too late! The movie is playing its crucial second weekend in your area tomorrow night, Saturday and Sunday. And for those of you around Lakewood, California, adorable little Rocky from the film (Owen Pierce) will be signing posters Sunday from 1-5 at the Lakewood Theater!
It's simply tough for independent films like A Plumm Summer to compete with big budget Hollywood films, which is why we'd love your help to organize and get everyone you know to go and see it this weekend! A successful second weekend for A Plumm Summer means that more families will have a chance to see the film in more locations and most importantly, Hollywood will hopefully take notice and start to invest time and money into making quality films with stories that appeal to families.
If you haven't yet heard about the film, the LA Times sums it up: "At a time when most family films come across as extended toy advertisements or digital extravaganza, there is something refreshing about a homespun, live-action tale of summertime adventure full of bicycles and tennis shoes, where the most high-tech gadget is a squawky radio walkie-talkie."
A Plumm Summer was Winner of the Audience Best Film Award at the International Family Film Festival,andis based on a true story in Montana in the 1960's, where well-loved local TV legend and puppet, FroggyDoo, gets stolen during a live show. The families of Montana outcry at FroggyDoo's loss prompts an FBI investigation, but the children of Peaks View take the mystery into their own hands and it's a race to unravel the mystery (hint: those FBI agents are slow to catch on...)! A Plumm Summer features celebrated actors, Henry Winkler, Billy Baldwin, Jeff Daniels and Brenda Strong (from Desperate Housewives) as well as talented, up-and-coming child actors, all of whom transport you to their small town where themes of friendship and family become interwoven in this amazing little movie.
The movie is playing this weekend in these 4 areas:
· California: LA and surrounding areas
· Alabama: Birmingham, Trussville
· Minnesota: Oakdale, Lakeville, Eagan
· Montana: Billings, Bozeman, Kalispel, Livingston or Missoula
Theaters are updated daily so be sure to check the A Plumm Summer website for a complete list of theaters in your area as well as a sneak peak at the trailer for the film.
If you would like to find out more information about A Plumm Summer, write about the film, or be put in touch with one of the producers at Fairplay Pictures or Hometeam Productions, please email Abbey at abbey@momcentral.com. Thank you so much for being a part of our Mom Central community and helping us spread the word about this fantastic film!

Food crisis-inpending recession-food crisis-time to prepare people
Hello all...hope your day is well...Julie went to her dr. today and she is dialating,so any time now we get to meet little miss chalie mae....We are all anxiously awating her arrival.I worry about the little one's in the world now.All the talk on food crisis and the impending''recession/depression.I do know we can get by just fine,we live in a lot of ways self sufficent,but it will be difficult to watch what unfolds if the worse case scenerio happens..And i honestly believe it will.There is such a high percentage of people who have no idea how to garden,store food for an extended period of time,dr. themselves at all,and worse case ,if we have electricity problems,and if job losses continue we quickly will and the government programs will fall out after that.There wil be hundreds of thousands if not more,homeless in a matter of weeks.I just don't see the ones who can sustain themselves, being able to care for these huge amounts of people.I do hope that more people will take advantage of the season and begin to plant if you have not already,there is still time.I urge you to do this.And if it is where you can ,you need to start stocking up on canned foods now and perishables...Dont keep waiting please.We have a garden going good and extra seeds for a fall garden as well.I have bought several window visors that can be used for a solar oven if needed.Already we also are stocking up on some shells,blankets,sleeping bags,buckets,etc.All these things will be needed if we have a collapse.And very soon after it is announced the shelves will be empty.If you are planning on waiting,you might better reconsider for your and your families sake.To much greed took over our nation and our world,i see us very soon reaping the results of this...I pray this does not happen but i also pray that if it does,we are prepared as best we could..Here are some more really good sites i have visited today,maybe you can find them useful..
God bless us all...

president's speech,My thoughts & some contest
Happy Tuesday everyone...hope your day was a blessing...
I was watching the president's speech this morning and i for 1 saw some hints of things to come..encouraging us to buy local from farmer's market's(not encouraging trade)that it takes 6 weeks for the price of our gas at the pumps(price we pay) to show the buying cost for it today(which will reflect the price i said last november as well as many more ,would happen) will not reach us till june,making all gas over 4 bucks a gallon and more across the nation....
I do not blame president bush for this as a lot of folks do.It takes a lot more than his signature to make things happen...congress in my opinion hold the most guilt on this one along with some very stupid mistakes on capital hill over the past 20 years,as well as greed in America...And let's not forget about wanting and trying to take God out of everything we do(#1 stupid mistake) and last but certainly not least,the 4,000,000 babies we have allowed to be slaughtered like animals in the united states ,we call it abortion....I firmly believe we as Americans are fixing to pay for the way we have done...If you don't like that statement ,you have your opinion ,i have mine...One day explain it to Jesus....not me....
It is getting dry again here in south central Alabama,we have had to water the garden for a week now,the most needed rain didn't make it to our house...we will be planting the other garden this weekend,good lord will's..We have Julie's dr. appointment tomorrow ,maybe Charlie Mae will decide it is time..lol..Nancy went back to the dr. today about her back but i don't know what they found out yet,Rita took her...
Have a good night and may God Bless America again...

On coming food shortages,,Loss of job's..Please prepare now
Good morning all,i hope your weekend went well.Me and my neighbor burned off a field friday night and last night.He had the timber cut last year and it was time to clean it off.We discussed it being a nice place for a garden as well.That would make 3.I have one here at the house,1 behind his house and this one now maybe.Still time to get some things in the ground.Everyday the economy looks worse and worse.I hope there are a lot of people who are gardening this year.Food shortages,gas prices....whew...Depression here we come.I am not a doomsday slayer so ..don't go there,just a realist...look around,check history out and if you don't see an impending problem,you live in a rose colored glass.It is coming readers,it is.....has too to be able to fix this mess we have....No reason to panic at all,just prepare and you will be ok for the year or so i see it being bad.My worse fear in this is the people who will not prepare at all,either because they can't afford too(we are struggling) or the people who refuse to see a problem.These will be the one's who become the threats because they will be searching for a way to feed themselves and their families.It is not like it use to be,you could invite anyone into your home for a meal or a place to stay,and each help each other.It is a different world now,you invite them in and they steal all your stuff and leave or kill you...scary world we live in.....
would not hurt to have a back up plan for a job..Have a feeling a lot of ''mom and pop'' places will be coming out of this mess,be a good security blanket for everyone.Have a hobbie or talent ,put it to work for you...
I am beginning to do the white oak and willow baskets again(like my grandfather lee did),as well as handcrafts using natural elements..i'll post some pics soon.I also have started doing shower gifts ..diaper cakes,ribbons,etc...these wll be up soon as well..I am taking orders for them,so if this is something you are intersted in just let me know.
There are alot of great sites online to help you plan,grow food,canning it,stocking up,solar ovens.All kind of useful advise.I do hope you look into it while you still have access to internet...i really do............................
god bless us all.....

WASHINGTON/PARIS (Reuters) - Food prices are soaring, a wealthier Asia is demanding better food and farmers can't keep up. In short, the world faces a food crisis and in some places it's already boiling over.

Just not up for very much blogging today, but here's a a sort of follow-up to my post yesterday on the threat to food banks posed by food shortages (and see my two comments to that post, as well).
I don't think we should wait to see how bad things really are before we begin to make preparations for the possible food shortages we could face this year. If we prepare and it turns out that there aren't significant shortages in the U.S., we haven't lost very much. I, personally, think we're about to see a period of rapid transition in our society

Stiglitz: "One of the worst economic downturns since the Great Depression"
From CNBC: Nobel Winner Stiglitz: US Facing Long Recession (hat tip squeezed)
The U.S. economy is already in recession -- and may echo the 1930s, Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz said Friday.
...
"This is going to be one of the worst economic downturns since the Great Depression," said Stiglitz.

A record number of people facing utility shut-offs.
Cutoffs and Pleas for Aid Rise With Heat Costs ..After struggling with soaring heating costs through the winter, millions of Americans are behind on electric and gas bills, and a record number of families could face energy shut-offs over the next two months, according to state energy officials and utilities around the country.
The escalating costs of heating oil, propane and kerosene, most commonly used in the Northeast, have posed the greatest burdens, officials say, but natural gas and electricity prices have also climbed at a time when low-end incomes are stagnant and prices have also jumped for food and gasoline.
In New Hampshire, applicants for fuel subsidies under the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program received an average of $600 in a one-time grant and up to $975 for the extremely poor who rely on heating oil or propane, the costliest fuels. But those grants, which in recent years have covered 60 percent of heating costs, covered only about 35 percent of those costs this winter, said Celeste Lovett, director of the state’s energy aid program. The state will have given aid to about 34,500 people by the end of April, Ms. Lovett said, a 5 percent increase over last year and the highest number ever.
The most immediate challenge is to help the high number of consumers who are far behind in electric and gas payments, said Mark Wolfe, director of the National Energy Assistance Directors’ Association, which represents state aid officials in Washington

global warming ????or is it a hoax? read this and research for yourself!
Air Conditioning to be rendered obsolete?
Published April 24, 2008 by shane.vincent
According to The Australian:
Disconcerting as it may be to true believers in global warming, the average temperature on Earth has remained steady or slowly declined during the past decade, despite the continued increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, and now the global temperature is falling precipitously.
All four agencies that track Earth’s temperature (the Hadley Climate Research Unit in Britain, the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, the Christy group at the University of Alabama, and Remote Sensing Systems Inc in California) report that it cooled by about 0.7C in 2007. This is the fastest temperature change in the instrumental record and it puts us back where we were in 1930. If the temperature does not soon recover, we will have to conclude that global warming is over.
…
This is where SOHO comes in. The sunspot number follows a cycle of somewhat variable length, averaging 11 years. The most recent minimum was in March last year. The new cycle, No.24, was supposed to start soon after that, with a gradual build-up in sunspot numbers.
It didn’t happen. The first sunspot appeared in January this year and lasted only two days. A tiny spot appeared last Monday but vanished within 24 hours. Another little spot appeared this Monday. Pray that there will be many more, and soon.
The reason this matters is that there is a close correlation between variations in the sunspot cycle and Earth’s climate. The previous time a cycle was delayed like this was in the Dalton Minimum, an especially cold period that lasted several decades from 1790.
Northern winters became ferocious: in particular, the rout of Napoleon’s Grand Army during the retreat from Moscow in 1812 was at least partly due to the lack of sunspots.
