Not so long ago, if you said you needed to make a phone call that meant going to the nearest land line phone. The phone could be used for nothing but placing calls and you couldn't take it with you. It wasn't until 1973 that the modern cell phone as we know it was born.

One of the best things about mobile phones is that you can play all sorts of games on them. Originally, they came with just the most basic games. Thanks to some wonderful inventors and technicians out there, we now have java games that have opened a whole new world in mobile gaming.

The most basic java games are strategy games. These are mainly solitary games like Mine Sweeper, Reversi or Bejeweled. There are also card games like solitaire and blackjack. They are fun and familiar to computer users and are a great way to occupy you while you wait for your appointment.

Then you have old favorite two dimensional action games like Pac Man and Galaxian. No more need to go to the arcade or pack your trusty old Atari or Family computer with these games in your phone. They can help take your mind of the long wait for your bus to arrive.

The best of the java games are in 3D. There is quite a variety to choose from. All you need to do is check what's available for your phone model. The next step is to download your chosen adventure.

What is your game? Do you love basketball? Would you like to be out on the green shooting a hole in one but can't because you're stuck at the dentist? If so, then you'll love the many java sports games available. Tiger Woods' PGA Golf Tours game can be quite a challenge and And1 Streetball will keep you on your toes and keep your mind off the upcoming root canal.

Want to catch some bad guys? Are you a soldier at heart? Then you'll love shoot'em up Java games like Metal Gear and Ghost Recon.

Maybe you just need to get your mind off your worries for a bit. How about playing some simulation games? You can do some Sim Fishing and catch the big one. How about taking a drive? Try out Freestyle Moto-X II or Driver Vegas and see how well you can control the wheel.

Why not go on an adventure just like in your favorite stories. Want to be a sorcerer or an elf? What kind of skills do you possess? Use them in the various role playing games (RPG) like Warhammer 40K or Bogor's Castle. There's no adventure like being around Ancient Ruins or a Forsaken Fortress.

You may even find a java game of your favorite movie or TV shows and be part of the team of Battle Star Galactica or Mission Impossible. There's even a java game of Miami Vice.

Some of these games even have a multiplayer option so that you can have an adventure with your friends, no matter if they live in your neighborhood or not. Just be careful not to get over enthusiastic and fall out of your seat.

Getting into the Air Force Academy requires a commitment, and a difficult admission process. Your chances of getting into the Academy aren't good fewer than one candidate in 50 gets admitted. What follows are the stumbling blocks that stop most candidate applications from succeeding, and how to address them.

We are assuming that you're reading this as a high school junior. If you're starting this process in your senior year, you're starting late, and may have to transfer into the Academy from another four year college.

The first stumbling block is fitness. Each year, the Air Force Academy requires all cadets to do a times 1.5 mile run, and the generalized physical fitness test of pull ups, standing long jumps, sit ups and pushups, with a 600 meter run all in 15 minutes. In particular, this test has to be done in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which is at high altitude. Unless you're doing athletics in high school, the odds that you'll pass this test the first time are pretty slim.

Related to this, the Academy looks for candidates who participate in team sports, and in athletics in general. This shows that a student is willing to work, work hard, and work within a team to achieve group goals, and to use controlled aggression to their own aims. Basketball, football, track, trap shooting and fencing are sports the Air Force grades high in candidate application processes.

Like any college admission program, academic performance is important. It's more than just having a straight A average. The difficulty of the classes you take matters as well. The Air Force puts more weight on the difficulty of the course load (taking calculus rather than refresher math, for instance) than it does on perfect GPA requirements. If you're weak academically, the time to find out about it is at the beginning of your junior year in high school, where you should focus on study habit improvement and boosting your GPA. GPA in the last two years of high school will count for more than your early GPA.

The Air Force puts lower weighting on standardized test scores. While most four-year colleges use standardized test scores to differentiate between students with near identical academic records, the Air Force treats them somewhat as a pass-fail test. The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, while not a substitute for the SAT or ACT, is a good adjunct. Be sure to take it as well as the other tests.

The biggest filter for candidates trying to get into the Air Force Academy is character. Character can be difficult to determine objectively, so the Academy requires candidates to get letters of recommendation from their community leaders, and teachers, and employers, and the coordinators of any volunteer organizations they belong to. Focus on getting the best positive letters of recommendation you can get. When you write your admission essay, focus on events that showcase places where you exerted leadership, or showed strength of character. This is the place to shine if you're worried about your academic performance.

However one ex-cadet in the Air Force Academy has written a secret tell all guide on how to win appointments into the Air Force Academy!
