Gmail's 'Call Phone' Feature

I LOOOOOVEEEE my Gmail account, and use it for almost all my email communication.

Then day before i noticed a green phone icon just above my contacts

...when I hovered the mouse pointer over it a pop-up stated it's a 'free-calls to US and Canada' feature.

What, what, what?!!!

Free calling...via your email client? uhhh...ok then

So, being me...I clicked with the intention of calling mih cuz in Canada.

(also being me, I could not remember d number..duh!)

...so ah decide to try a local number...and guess what...

it worked!!! 

dialed 1868#######...and it rang...and I spoke to friend-from the PC-from within Gmail

I am such a geek...but I loooovesssss my Gmail account even more now!

p/s:- a message came up stating that the call cost 10c...but ahm what account they charging that 10c to??

YUMA 2011 - Zodeak

I did not originally plan to go this launch...but I did.
Glad that I did. Went as a regular patron, not as a Carnival blogger like Sauce, Afro Chic and Carnival Jumbie.
...Ohhh and must not forget 'Scene!
Their reviews and pics are must views. Stop over at their blogs for in depth reviews and pics, pics and more pics.

Anyways, my take on YUMA is as follows:
I LOVE most of the frontlines, they look gorgeous. If I lived in the gym from now till Carnival 2011, and had a gracious sponsor and did the FL thing, then yep: I would absolutely, positively play in one of at least two..no three...of those eye-catching fantabulous costumes! BUT ..I have neither a sponsor (gracious or otherwise), nor do I usually play FL...not my thing.
The backlines that grabbed my attention were

Sagitarius

Aquarius

Pisces

and 

Taurus

Notice that my sign, Capricorn, has not been mentioned...it will NOT be mentioned again in relation to YUMA. There is the other thing of: I will have no company if I went YUMA...not one of my mas-playing friends has mentioned or even hinted that they would consider playing YUMA....sigh

TRIBE prices - a look back

People seem shocked at the prices of TRIBE's costumes.
I am not!
My most recent post stated that, given a 20% increase that magically seems to be applied to things year after year, costume prices could be in the range of TT$4350.
If the prices on Saucy's post are the final prices then I am quite happy to be proven wrong. Dancing with glee actually...'cause it means I'll actually have change from the TT$4000 that I thought I would have to fork out!

A regular backline costume, without options, for the past three years have cost me as follows:

• 2008: approx. TT$3,000
• 2009: approx. TT$3,200
• 2010: approx. TT$3,700

Sooo the TT$3800 average for the 2011 backline is quite ok for me.

Have my downpayment ready and waiting.

Will not mention the Frontline costume prices AT ALL!!! They speak for themselves.
