Sex goddess Mae West is responsible for some of the most quoted lines in film history:
A vacuous biography of the little chickadee.Asked why she donated her used limousines to nuns, West said, "I just can't stand seeing a nun waiting for a bus." The is one of a handful of quotes available in this latest from celebrity biographer Chandler (Not the Girl Next Door: Joan Crawford, A Personal Biography, 2008, etc.). Unfortunately, the author offers little perspective on the life of the legendary writer, performer and personality. As in her other "personal biographies," Chandler offers transcriptions of her long interview sessions with the likes of Ingrid Bergman, Bette Davis, Alfred Hitchcock and others. The memories of a deep bond West shared with her mother are touching, and Chandler offers piquant details of time served in a New York City jail when authorities deemed one of West's plays obscene. But the author should have heeded George Cukor's observation that West "always had what you might call a selective memory" and challenged some of the actress's sometimes dubious assertions. The star said, for example, that her films rescued Paramount Pictures from bankruptcy at the onset of the Great Depression. Chandler lets West's claim go unchecked, without going over the studio's balance sheets for other films, or considering how the Marx Brothers and W.C. Fields, to say nothing of their directors and writers, also kept Paramount in the black. Chandler also provides scant insight into West's appeal to the public - or her lack of appeal after the 1930s. The author's flat plot summaries of West's films and plays, wedged between West's eventually tiresome, narcissistic musings, make no distinction between the comic brilliance of She Done Him Wrong and the grotesque excesses of Myra Breckinridge, arguably one of the worst films ever made. She shared her last years with a bodybuilder who rationed the chocolates she ate after dinner, a moment in a sad demise Chandler lets pass without comment.However bold, West's quotes don't fully define her iconic life, and Chandler does very little to fill in what's missing.

ABOARD THE McCAIN BUS IN N.H. -- The big event on the Republicans' schedule Sunday is the joint English/Spanish-language debate in Coral Gables, Fla., hosted by Univision. And the night before the forum, McCain shared his secret for dealing with these debates.
McCain, who's known for his one-liners at these events, says he doesn't come with jokes that are pre-written. One of his classics is from the October 21 Fox News debate - the joke about the Woodstock concert of 1969. "Now my friends, I wasn't there. I am sure it was a cultural and pharmaceutical event. I was, I was tied up at the time," he quipped, referring to his time as a POW in Vietnam. He eventually turned this line into a campaign ad.
"The thing I've learned in these debates is that the best thing to do is to go with the ... flow with it. Don't try to have a joke or prepared comment. Pay attention to what the others are saying and when it comes to you try to get in the stream of what the discussion is about"
Pundits have pointed out an improved performance by McCain at the last few debates and he credits that to lessons he learned in earlier debates (this is his 12th debate since the first GOP forum back in May).
"In the first few debates, it was my own fault, but when you have 8 or 9 people, you can't wait to get your comment in, so you have a tendency to fire hose it." He added that when his turn would finally come around, he spouted out so much information so fast, that he would stumble and look hesitant, "and I finally just said, look go out there and when it comes your turn play close attention to what the others are saying."
To keep his nerves in chedk, McCain says he likes to hold a campaign event just prior (today, he has a 1pm town hall meeting in Miami) instead of waiting around his hotel room for the debate to begin.
Another pre-debate ritual for McCain, who is never far from a cup o' joe, is to limit his coffee intake. For the last three debates he says it has helped him to stop drinking coffee a few hours before he hits the stage.

Ronnie Spector's BEYOND THE BEEHIVE Returns to Bridge Street Live, 5/31
Rock and Roll icon Ronnie Spector's critically acclaimed Beyond The Beehive is set to return to Bridge Street Live in Collinsville, CT on May 31st at 8:00pm. The 90 minute multi-media production chronicles Ronnie's fascinating 50 year journey through Rock and Roll with stories, video and still images, as well as upwards of 16 live songs backed by her full band. Beyond The Beehive made it's UK debut in London last month to overwhelming critical applause receiving 5 out of 5-star reviews from both The Guardian and The Independent.
Ronnie Spector came from Spanish Harlem and before her 20th birthday changed the look, style and sound of Rock and Roll forever as the leader of the quintessential "Girl Group," The Ronettes. While still in her teens, she was touring the world with The Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton and The Yardbirds as her opening act. From being personally requested by The Beatles to open up their final tour, to holding court with the Stones and Bob Dylan at Ondines, Ronnie was on top of the Rock and Roll world in the turbulent '60s. As bright as her star shined, with her 1968 marriage to infamous record producer Phil Spector, all of that would be taken from her - the stage, her fans, the recording studio and ultimately her identity. At the peak of her career, it all ended suddenly behind electrical gates and guard dogs, amid nonstop psychological and emotional torture. Ronnie Spector would not be seen anywhere, let alone on stage, for many years as she fought to survive Phil Spector's obsessive and abusive behavior.
A captivating production detailing Ronnie's unique odyssey from NYC's Peppermint Lounge to Beverly Hills, from hit records to hit men, to eventually being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. Beyond The Beehive tells the story of how Ronnie Spector transformed herself from victim to the ultimate Rock and Roll Survivor.
Tickets are $39, $49, or $74 and can be purchased at the box office at 41 Bridge Street, Collinsville, CT 06022, online at www.41bridgestreet.com, or by calling 860.693.9762.

POP star Jessie J brought a young fan from North Yorkshire on stage with her at a performance this week.
The Brit Award winner invited six-year-old Angel Sutton, from South Cliff, Scarborough, and a friend to join her to sing along to It's My Party, at Scarborough Open Air Theatre this week.
Angel had her left leg amputated as a baby as she has Ectodermal-Ectrodactyl-Clefting Syndrome (EEC), and is due to have her right leg amputated this summer. She spent half an hour chatting with Jessie prior to the performance in front of thousands of fans.
Angel's mother Tina Sutton said: "While our expectations were high because Angel had always wanted to meet Jessie, we really couldn't believe that she spent thirty minutes with her. Jessie is a truly genuine person - during their time together she sang to Angel, asked her what her favourite song was and talked to her about the problems with her legs.
"Without doubt though, the delight of the night was when Jessie asked Angel to go on stage with her to sing her favourite song. The whole experience has made an absolute world of a difference to Angel as she has been able to meet Jessie before her big operation later this summer."
Angel was born with deformed legs due to the genetic condition, and her family are raising money for new, waterproof legs, through gofundme.com/legs-for-angel

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has rejected a legal challenge of the state's 2009 child support guidelines by a Boston-based father's rights group. The group contended that the laws were illegally set by a judicial committee, but the state argued it granted the committee power to craft the guidelines decades ago. The organization argued the guidelines allow for excessive "support for the children from a first marriage," and offer different rules for fathers where were previously married versus those that were not.

Who's Responsible for the Great Falls Windfall?
August 22, 2011 | Washington Post | Link to article
The Aug. 16 front-page story about wealth in Great Falls fueled by government contracts ["Great Falls reflects big windfall"] left several questions unanswered.
For example, why is the federal government contracting out more services today than it did 20 or 30 years ago? And just how much is all this federal outsourcing of services costing taxpayers?
One person featured in the story made a fortune by providing help-desk personnel to the Federal Aviation Administration. Nice that the head of the company has an entrepreneurial spirit that allowed her to amass significant wealth through government contracts, but what kind of salary and benefits did her employees receive? Did the jobs pay better than they would have in the public sector?
Economic inequality continues to rise in this nation. Wealth continues to be concentrated in the hands of fewer people. The government should enact policies that provide more people with opportunity to move up the economic ladder. It certainly shouldn't be an active participant in transferring wealth from the masses to an elite few.

Kree Harrison: I had a problem of not letting my wall down before 'American Idol'
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 05/20/2013
Kree Harrison
finished as
American Idol
's twelfth-season runner-up when
Candice Glover
was crowned its winner during Thursday night's live finale broadcast on Fox.
Candice, a 23-year-old from St. Helena Island, SC, defeated Kree, a 22-year-old from Nashville, TN, after she received the majority of home viewer votes cast immediately following Wednesday night's performance broadcast which featured the Top 2 finalists each singing three songs.
During a Friday conference call with reporters, Kree talked to Reality TV World about her
American Idol
experience. To read what she had to say,
click here
. Below are some additional highlight's from Kree's call. Check back with us soon for more.
What are you most looking forward to on tour?
Kree Harrison
Honestly, being able to go out there and perform for all the fans and try to hug as many of them as I can. Just for getting this far, I'm so appreciative -- and [for the fact] I got to stand in the finale last night with Candice.
What do you think the pros are of finishing
American Idol
in second place?
Kree Harrison
It's been the most amazing experience. Honestly [it's amazing] the fans have gotten me this far, and now I have a following.
Are you going to be doing more traditional country or pop country?
Kree Harrison
Well, I mean, I would hate to put myself in a box right now. I've only, you know, put out a single just today, so for me, I would love to get on country radio and whatever that brings to people whether it's pop or traditional. I still think I'm more of a traditional artist but the judges said to be worldly and not just do one particular thing. But it's definitely a touchy thing and always will be.
What is it like getting support from Kacey Musgraves who also started on a reality show and has made it big in the industry? What's your reaction to that?
Kree Harrison
Well first of all, she's my best friend. We met and hit it off in Nashville... I'm so proud of her. She's so proud of me, and I just can't believe that all these good things are happening to the both of us right now. Yeah, I can't wait to get back to Nashville and see what's next. Obviously she'd come to the show and supported me, and I just love her to death. I'm so proud of her.
Keith Urban
was a big of yours but I really felt like he was hard on you at certain times too. Do you have any thoughts on maybe why he acted that way and when he'd say you weren't connected with a few songs?
Kree Harrison
I mean, I feel like for the four judges, I respect [them] so much and I always have, and especially Keith, because you know, we're both country singers. And at any point when he'd give me some critiques, I took it as constructive criticism. Because at the end of the day, you can't really grow if you're not listening and learning from your peers.
So yeah, I always took it to heart and I agree with him. I've always kind of had a problem in the beginning of my career of kind of letting the wall down and being able to connect emotionally, just because it is the hardest thing to do -- to open up. But I feel like through this process, it's really happened, and I feel so good about it. I'm happy that it's happened that way.
You and
Kellie Pickler
had mentioned you were going to get matching tattoos... (Laughs)
Kree Harrison
Okay, this is a joke that's just gone wrong. (Laughs)
So have you heard from Kellie since last night?
Kree Harrison
I talk to her all the time but I haven't heard from her. I'm sure she understands that it's a whirlwind. But I will definitely talk to her, and I'm so freaking proud of her. I hope she wins
Dancing with the Stars
! I'm rooting for her, and I know that the
family is too.
Me and [
Angela "Angie" Miller
] and [
Janelle Arthur
] voted for her a couple times. But yeah, we're so proud of each other and I've gotten to see her at the studios, and she's such an amazing woman and friend. And yeah, I hope to collaborate soon.
What are you most looking forward to doing when you first get home?
Kree Harrison
I'm not going to be mad about laying in my bed. (Laughs) I definitely am going to get as much rest as I possibly can, because we've been working our butts off. More than anything, I'm just kind of taking it all in with everything that's happened, and I can't wait to go back to Nashville and make music.
Are you going to perform your new single at the Grand Ole Opry?
Kree Harrison
Today's my birthday and that's the best birthday present I've ever gotten in my life.
So you're excited about the opportunity to perform there?
Kree Harrison
I mean, I'm positive that there's footage of me when I was younger. This has been one of my lifelong goals, is to play the Grand Ole Opry and just stand where all of my peers and all of those country music legends have stood.
It's going to be hard not to kiss that circle! Yeah, I'm excited of course!
Keith Urban
told me and I cried. (Laughs) Yeah, it was very special. It was a good moment. I'm happy that we shared it. I found out the night of the show [last night].
Looking back on your whole
experience, is there one judge that's kind of your favorite or that you respect the most?
Kree Harrison
They brought so many different things and opinions and advice to me. I just can't imagine just picking one because I respect all of them for so many different reasons.
But I mean, last night, being able to play with [
Randy Jackson
] and Keith and obviously [Travis Barker], but you know, those two judges, they all rooted for me and I'm so thankful for it. I couldn't possibly pick one, but I do love Keith, and I do hope that we get to collaborate more in the future.
What was it like to be reunited with the Top 10 and what did you all do to celebrate after the finale broadcast?
Kree Harrison
Well, they all sang happy birthday, which was really awesome. But I mean, we had the freaking show of your lives, are you kidding? It was so much fun and I tweeted earlier, the best part about it was celebrating the finale with the
family -- not just the contestants but the whole crew.
I mean, you become so close to these people that you work with every single day and you spend every waking moment with each other. So it was very special. It was an amazing night.
What are some of the things you're looking forward to most when it comes to creating your album and such? Is it being in the studio, touring, etc?
Kree Harrison
I mean, the whole process is exciting in itself because it is such a process. You write, you listen to songs, you go in the studio and you create what is yours. It's like birth. It's like creating your baby to go out and share with the world. I mean, all of the above is what we live for. So, I can't wait for all of it to tell you the truth.
You chose to sing first after the coin toss Wednesday night...
Kree Harrison
Everybody's asking me about that! (Laughs) I mean, at that moment, I was just like, "I don't care if I go first or second. I mean, it's just the two of us. I could just sing at the finale and I'm freaking excited about it."
I don't know, they just said, "What do you want?" And I asked [Candice] first, and she said, "I want to go second." So I said, "Fine, I don't care." I was just so happy to be able to perform again.

The show at Hailey's Friday night might have to go down in the books. It was outstanding and substantial. For a mere $8, people were given more of an actual concert than just a live show in the venue. The O's opened up with a small set but Gentleman Reg and The Hidden Cameras played sets worthy of a bigger venue. If only more people were there.
The O's opened to a small crowd of about 15. That didn't stop them from performing their Americana rock at full force. They sounded crisp and their multi-instrument playing at one time is kind of phenomenal to watch. It was a small set but they tore through every minute of it without abandon despite the small turnout.
When Gentleman Reg took the stage, he owned it from the get-go. His four-piece band performed in perfect cohesion and even though his music is a folkier pop style, they rocked it out.

Nick and Johnny Go for GP Hat Trick
Tired of the small fields in NY, thought the pickings at GP today would be better. They are, not by all that much, but certainly there's enough quality on hand in South Florida to at least make looking at the PPs interesting.
Today's feature is sans name, it's a monied non-winners of three optional claimer going a flat mile featuring three strong contenders; the returning Just A Coincidence (9-5), the sharp Birdrun (2-1), entered Main-Track-Only yesterday and the streaking class climber Caixa Eletronica (4-1).
The three are difficult to separate on performances figures since they're all virtually the same horse. But it's gets a little easier considering 'Caixa' is winless at the distance and on this track; his best form has been cross town a Calder.
Birdrun is the logical favorite. He's always run well on this track and at this trip, even if winless under those circumstances, and was a good second over the ground three weeks ago. His best figures have been earned under those conditions.
While Just A Coincidence is the early line favorite, the hunch is the crowd will go for Birdrun since this newly turned four year old hasn't run since last April, when fourth in the Withers.
But prior to that, it was back to back wins here at the distance and a very worthy third in I Want Revenge's Wood Memorial. We're hoping the layoff will be worth a couple of ticks on the tote. Nicely drawn in post 4, race riding Johnny V. can play this one off the break. This team is 2-for-4 at the present meet.
Taking Just A Coincidence to win at 8-5 or greater, keying him first and second in the multiples with his two rivals here.
Running Totals: (580) 181-117-80 Total Dollar Return: $1,246.70 [win selections only]

If anyone in Scottish football is worthy of a positive act from above, it is probably Bruno Aguiar. Heart of Midlothian's likeable Portuguese midfielder, whose cultured ability has been a loss to the Scottish Premier League over the last 18 months, returned to first-team football in emphatic style as the visitors extended an impressive run at Easter Road.
Not for two and a half years have Hibernian tasted victory over their city rivals in a home league match; Aguiar's outstanding all-round display, let alone sublime free-kick, prolonged the record.
"My goal was a present from God after he gave me a bad time," said Aguiar. The former Benfica player, who suffered a serious ankle injury after a training ground lunge from the former Hearts player Julien Brellier and subsequently twisted a knee, levelled after Steven Fletcher sent Hibs ahead in under 80 seconds. The only mystery of this derby was that the second period failed to produce a goal given the open nature of proceedings. It was not one for the purists, played in swirling wind and occasional wild bursts of rain, but this represented one of the SPL's most enthralling clashes of the season to date.
No derby would be complete without sprinklings of controversy. Hibs felt they were denied a penalty when Derek Riordan stumbled under a challenge from Eggert Jonsson. Although there was a degree of legitimacy to their claims, Riordan did not help matters by looking to go to ground before Jonsson made his move.
Hearts, in turn, had cause to be bemused after Christian Nadé's 51st-minute header was chalked off by Eddie Smith, the referee. In truth, there appeared little contact between Nadé and the error-prone Hibs goalkeeper, Yves Ma-Kalambay.
It is to the respective managers' credit that neither Mixu Paatelainen nor Csaba Laszlo were willing to focus on such matters. "There is no point dwelling on it, referees do an honest job," said Paatelainen, the Hibs manager. His opposite number, Laszlo, added: "People have told me it was a goal but I haven't seen it."
Fletcher had Hibs fans dreaming of the perfect afternoon, rounding off a fine move involving Riordan and Colin Nish from close range to secure his first Edinburgh derby goal. Yet Aguiar levelled proceedings, curling a low free-kick beyond Ma-Kalambay from 18 yards after a needless Nish foul on Lee Wallace.
Laszlo had been forced to replace Marian Kello, his goalkeeper, with Janos Balogh at half-time after the Slovakian incurred a knock to the head. Balogh twice denied Riordan in the dying stages before Nadé blazed wildly over at the other end when it appeared easier to hit the target.
Aguiar, meanwhile, lost his footing twice when seeking a Hearts winner. "God decided just to give me one goal," he smiled. Hibs are looking towards divine intervention as they attempt to break what appears to be a home derby hoodoo.
Man of the match: Bruno Aguiar (Hearts)

VILLAGES in North Yorkshire where safety fears have been raised could get new speed signs in a fresh bid to tackle the problem.
Vehicle-activated signs (VAS) which display the speed limit and alert drivers are now being used at accident blackspots but other communities whose roads do not meet the criteria for permanent measures have also called for them to be available.
North Yorkshire County Council, together with the region's 95 Alive Road Safety Partnership, is now introducing a protocol for the temporary solar-powered signs in areas where there are local concerns, with 14 of the signs set to be installed across North Yorkshire.
Ryedale is the first district where potential sites have been listed. A report going before a county council meeting next week says Hovingham, Nawton and Beadlam, Wharram-le-Street, Wilton and Wombleton could be included in response to previous concerns about speeding.
Details of possible sign locations for other North Yorkshire districts will emerge soon.
The report by Allan McVeigh, the council's road safety manager, said each district could have a maximum of two signs, which would be placed in a particular parish for up to six weeks and then transferred to other areas on a "rotational" basis, with the first phase of the scheme running for 54 weeks.
Each sign would cost about £2,500, meaning the initial cost of the scheme would be about £35,000, with the council covering the bill at first. Parishes will pay the installation charges, ranging from £300 to £400, and meet the bill for moving the signs around their district. T
The venture will be assessed throughout, and at the end of the initial phase before the success of the scheme is reviewed, said Mr McVeigh's report.
"The evaluation criteria and process is currently under development, but will consider the level of interest, satisfaction levels, costs and effectiveness. On completion of the initial phase, a further report will be presented to the council's executive and a decision will be taken on whether to roll the scheme out further."
The council's Ryedale area committee will be updated on which parishes should get the temporary signs when it meets next Wednesday.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Gee, the mannequins at Old Navy sure are hot!
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
It's Mrthejazz... a case not yet solved. 22:13, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
| This raptor is guarding this article while his master, Iwillkillyou333 is reviewing it. Be Careful! He Bites.
This one's mine. 24 hours.--If you're 555 then I'm Talk What's it like to be a heretic? 19:35, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
|I like to write a lot of things, I'm pretty good at Pee Reviews, and I received an award Author of the Month Award and one feature. Also I like Avenged Sevenfold, Modern Warfare 2, Halo 3, and brunettes and emo girls.
|This was made for that one hour contest that night and it was kept. I didn't vote for it, but I think it's great concept-wised. You took a subject and stuck with it. Although things in the article could use some work. But I'll get to those things when I get to those sections, but the concept is good as it is.
|Prose and Formatting:
|You have a few spelling and grammar mistakes. This is understandable, as this was in the one hour contest that one night, but know you got some time to proofread it and check for mistakes. (or have the proofread template on the article and have someone proofread it for you.
I also liked the tone of the article; a narrative tone about a guy who thinks the mannequins at Old Navy look hot is pretty good. And you stuck with that tone the entire time, so I'll give you kudos for that.
|I thought the humor was pretty decent. Although I think some of the humor here could use some expanding. It has good jokes and things, but it could use some more jokes and could have some of its current jokes expanded some.
And you weren't really specific on the narrator's girl. It sounded like she's his girlfriend, but you didn't really explained, so I don't know if she's that, or if she's his sister, friend or mother. So you should explain more of that.
And finally I think you should have him sneak one out, and cheat on his girlfriend (if it is his girlfriend) and take the mannequin out for dinner, and maybe have him get jiggy with it. Or let him, the mannequin, and his girl have a threesome. (only if that's his girlfriend). But that's up to you, but a good idea never the less.
|You got some good images here, they support your article well. But the first image should have a caption something like "This is me. My friends all tell me I look like Russell Crowe. I guess they're right." That's up to you, but is a good idea. Also, the image should be on the right, not the left. All article's first images have their images on the right, so better stick with that. Plus, that makes it look messy. Also, one or two more images won't hurt (optional), but I think you're good on images.
|My overall grade of this article
|Final Score:
|Not bad, needs work, but pretty good effort for a one hour article. If it can survive VFD, I think it can survive VFH, if you're willing to put more work on it. If you have any questions/comments, just go to my talk page and I'll be happy to answer them. Good Luck! Cheers!

This week Hollywood continues its driving need to defecate all over anything truly wonderful by releasing The Thing, an unnecessary prequel to John Carpenter's brilliant remake of the 1950s classic. I suppose we should be happy the upcoming film is a prequel instead of a bastardization of Carpenter's work in the vein of Rob Zombie's vile Halloween remake. That being said, Dark Horse has decided to jump onto The Thing bandwagon by releasing a comic book telling an even earlier account of the alien that can become anything. Instead of a team caught out in the arctic, it's Vikings.
If you take swaggering Vikings and combine their bloodlust with a giant menacing alien creature, the logic follows that you'll have an epic battle with tons of gore and lots of split skull Vikings. Instead, veteran comic writer Steve Niles gives us a lengthy walk in the snow, a few burning bodies and a lot of "Viking" dialog. For instance, after one Viking cuts his hand off (because it spent five seconds in freezing water) he looks at his severed hand and valiantly cries "I'll wear it as an amulet for our friends and enemies to see". It's that kind of lame Highlander meets SyFy movie of the week stuff that makes this Thing story hard to get through.
After their long walk through the blustery winter, the Vikings fall upon the carcasses of animals that have been burned up. Shockingly, the bone structure looks nothing like anything they've ever seen before. So what's the best move now? Well, if you're Steve Niles' Vikings, you head into the creepy town where everybody appears to have vanished. I'm sure you can figure out where things go from here. Niles even throws in a little nod to the John Carpenter film at the end, as the two lone Vikings wait for the cold to take them neither knowing if the other is actually the Thing!
Steve Niles has a great way with mood; I'll give him that. He really sets up the isolation for the Vikings and how desolate and scary the area can be. The problem is he doesn't back it up with action. Nothing happens in this one-shot, so much nothing that when something does occur it's too little too late. Why not show the town being attacked, why not give the Vikings something to battle? The Thing is always shown creeping around, mimicking people and staying in the shadows. Wouldn't it be more fun to see what happens when it gets cornered? The entire premise of the alien copying people and taking them out one by one is a slow burn. To cram that idea into a comic just leads to a lot of panels about nothing and then action that's meaningless.
The art isn't anything exciting either. Patrick Reynolds uses a pretty standard combination of thin pencils with a touch of fine art impressionism to give it that weathered and spooky look. Nothing going on within the pages of The Thing is awful, but it doesn't really stand out either. The characters all look very similar and the backgrounds are one note. The whole thing feels really phoned in. The Thing one-shot, and probably the upcoming film, is proof that you just ought to leave well enough alone.

The Australian sharemarket gains for the day but ends down for the week - the fourth drop in the past five weeks.
5.05pm: All most done with this week's live markets coverage. Here's the evening markets wrap. Thanks for joining us, and look out for our return on Monday at 9.30am AEDT. Same time, same website.
In the meantime, BusinessDay's Chris Zappone looks ahead at what's to come: Rates, GDP, jobs to dominate next week.
4.52pm: The oil price climbed over $US110 a barrel overnight - close to its highest level since May last year - after reports of a pipeline explosion in Saudi Arabia, but the claim was denied by Saudi authorities, sending the price lower to about $US108 per barrel on Friday.
Among Australian energy firms, Woodside was down 15 cents at $36.30, Santos fell 21 cents, or 1.51 per cent, to $13.68. Oil Search bucked the trend, gaining 16 cents, or 2.24 per cent, to $7.30.
4.43pm: Overnight, we'll have German retail sales and some US manufacturing numbers.
Next week, Australian GDP figures are out for the December quarter. The consensus is that GDP expanded 0.7 per cent in the December quarter (to be up 2.3 per cent for the year).
That compares with the 1 per cent growth recorded for the September quarter (2.5 per cent, at annual rate), so we're expecting the economy to have slowed at the end of 2011.
The jobless rate, meanwhile, is tipped to rise to 5.2 per cent when the February jobs figures are released on Thursday - with just 5000 jobs added for the month, according to Bloomberg.
4.38pm: Not a lot of movement in share futures trading, with both Dow and London futures basically flat.
4.36pm: Might be remiss not to mention that Fortescue shares were among the bigger movers today, adding 2.4 per cent to $5.66.
Andrew Forrest, with his holding of almost 32 per cent of Fortescue, saw the value of his stake rise by about $100 million today alone.
4.30pm: Seems Fortescue Metals isn't too happy with Treasurer Wayne Swan's comments about billionaires having too much power. The miner's board says the comments were 'very disappointing'.
Andrew Forrest, Fortescue says, epitomises Australia's 'fair go' spirit. Swan's comments, published in an essay in The Monthly, are an 'irrational outburst'.
4.25pm: Harvey Norman shares fell again, losing another 2 per cent, while BlueScope is off 2.5 per cent and APN down 4.5 per cent. Goodman Group rose 3.6 per cent, Virgin added 3.4 per cent and Reject Shop added 4 per cent.
4.23pm: All the major sectors were higher for the day, with the exception of info tech stocks. Financials added 0.5 per cent, with all but NAB rising among the big four banks.
4.20pm: For the week, the ASX200 is off about 0.8 per cent.
4:13pm: The ASX 200 has closed 17.5 points, or 0.41 per cent higher at 4273 points, while the broader All-Ordinaries index closed up 18.1 points, or 0.42 per cent, at 4364.1 points.
3:50pm: The dollar has fallen under the $US1.08 level, weakening to about $US1.07, as investors take profits ahead of the weekend.
3.30pm: We'll have a bit more on the forecast front shortly, but here's next week's business and finance calendar for Australia.
Economics may dominate, with RBA rate decision on Tueday (and ANZ's monthly fixing on Friday), with GDP figures out on Wednesday and jobs data on Thursday.
3.24pm: Mermaid Marine has made its first detailed response to allegations that one of its ships abandoned 10 oil workers last year during a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico by claiming the crew and passengers aboard the vessel were crippled with seasickness and a rescue was too dangerous.
Click here for the full story.
3.15pm: Harvey Norman is drastically scaling back plans to conduct five per cent of its trade online, only months after launching a brand new website.
Chief executive Gerry Harvey says the company's recent online trading figures had been unimpressive.
2.45pm: BREAKING NEWS: Directors of MTR have pulled the plug on the low-rating right-wing talk station, putting it into administration.
Half-owner Macquarie Radio Network announced that it and joint venture partner Pacific Star Network made the announcement in a one-line statement to the stock exchange today.
More to follow on this story soon.
2.39pm: Asian markets' upward trend since the start of the year continues as optimism was boosted by a fresh set of upbeat US data and positive news from the euro zone.
Improving risk sentiment also supported the euro against the yen and dollar but rising oil prices tempered gains.
Tokyo added 0.45 per cent by the break, Hong Kong is up 0.81 per cent, Seoul is up 0.43 per cent and Shanghai is 0.55 per cent higher.
2.29pm: More on Leighton Contractors ... the group has taken a big step towards securing a stream of work on Rio Tinto's $18 billion iron ore expansion in Western Australia's Pilbara region.
The wholly owned Leighton Holdings subsidiary says it had inked five-year framework agreements for earthworks projects and structural, mechanical and piping projects as part of the mining giant's iron ore expansion.
Rio Tinto plans to exand its iron ore mining capacity to in the Pilbara 353 million tonnes per annum by 2015, up from about 230Mtpa this year.
2.17pm: The report by the independent inquiry into Australia's media says a new body should be established with greater powers to keep news and current affairs producers across all areas in line. Click here for coverage on the National Times.
2.12pm: The Aussie trio behind two-year-old group buying site Jump On It will be celebrating after cashed up US group LivingSocial snapped them up.
Neither party will confirm the final price, but sources close to the deal say it could be more than $30 million.
2.05pm: Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says a private member's bill will be introduced into federal parliament to extend the federal government's axed solar hot water rebate scheme.
Under Labor's renewable energy bonus scheme, rebates of $1000 were offered to Australians to install a solar hot water system, or $600 to install a heat pump hot water system.
The scheme was due to continue until June, but the government closed it on Tuesday.
1.50pm: A Leighton subsidiary has won a $125 million contract extension to provide mining services in Queensland's Bowen Basin.
Leighton Contractors extended its contract with United States coal miner Peabody Energy for work at Moorvale Mine to September 2013, Leighton says.
The work includes management, fleet maintenance and operational services for mining at the project.
1.44pm: BusinessDay's Michael Pascoe has this look at how good management saved a retail chain:
While some retailers whinge about business being tough, some change their business and boost profits. There's no better example than the remarkable job a former hamburger flipper has done in saving a major Australian retail chain from liquidation.
It's only a sideshow to the main supermarket war between Coles and Woolworths, but the skirmish between Big W and Kmart is a story that explains much about legacy Australian retailing and its management's mindset.
Kmart is a brand three owners wanted to kill, but each set discovered that breaking long shopping centre leases would be too expensive. Instead it was allowed to flounder along, not making any money and visibly deteriorating.
1.31pm:Bit of good news for the 170 staff who work at the embattled Anzac biscuit maker Unibic:
A potential buyer for biscuit maker Unibic Australia has already been found, only one day after it was announced that the company had been placed in administration.
Insolvency firm Lawler Draper Dillon yesterday announced that Glenn Franklin, Petr Vrsecky and Stirling Horne had been appointed as administrators of the Anzac cookie and biscotti maker.
Unibic ran into trouble as a result of rising raw material prices and a squeeze on its margins arising from the supermarket price war between Coles and Woolworths.
Lawler Draper Dillon spokesman John Allin today said the administrators were already in negotiations with a potential buyer for Unibic.
1.28pm: Actually, this blogger got his wires crossed. This, in fact, is BusinessDay's Matt O'Sullivan missive:
Aviation authorities have thrown out Qantas's demands for a five-year extension of approval for its alliance with South Africa Airways for flights between Australia and Johannesburg.
Describing the tie up as an ''effective duopoly'', the International Air Services Commission has told the airlines that their pleas have done nothing to change its view that approval for their code-share deal should not be extended beyond the end of this year.
Qantas had warned the commission that one of the airlines is likely to pull off the route if their tie up is not allowed to continue.
1.22pm: More of a Sydney tale on the face of it, but then again, many non-NSW will fly to Sydney and find reasons to curse. Anyway, this is just in:
Transport Minister Anthony Albanese says the federal government does not support changes to the curfew or flight cap at Sydney airport, and has again ruled out a second airport at Bankstown.
Mr Albanese today released the 3000-page findings of an independent report he commissioned in 2009 into the future aviation needs of Sydney.
''I have already made it clear that the federal government will not make any changes to the current cap or curfew,'' Mr Albanese said.
''We will also maintain the current protections for regional airlines and Bankstown airport will not be developed as Sydney's second airport.''
Mr Albanese also ruled out the use of the Badgerys Creek site, in Sydney's outer west, as a second airport.
1.16pm: Meanwhile, Motley Fool's Scott Phillips reckons the wages of sin is ... profit:
Sin stocks - or companies which peddle products that appeal to our vices - might be on the nose for some investors, but it's hard to argue with their results.
For many, no amount of profit can overcome a moral or ethical objection. That's fair enough – these businesses range from beer and spirits makers, to tobacco purveyors and gambling establishments.
Turns out, many investors don't pay much heed to how companies make a quid, so long as they keeping doing so.
1.09pm: Here's one view that suggests stocks are poised to rise:
"The market is well-positioned to move up now with concerns about Europe likely to be on the back burner for now and US data improving," said Ric Spooner, a strategist at CMC Markets.
"What it needs is a catalyst, probably strong non-farm pay rolls data in the US can do the trick. Until then investors are going to be cautious," he said
12.44pm: Investors seem to be cautious despite the US momentum and are waiting for the ASX200 to pass through the 4300 point levels, IG Markets analyst Stan Shamu says.
''It has struggled to get through that level on a number of occasions in the past few months, that's really another factor keeping investors at bay, waiting to see the level convincingly broken,'' he says.
''It seems like Australian investors are generally non-committal to the market and probably need a catalyst to break through that level.''
12.34pm: The former NSW Premier will fill the ministerial position vacated by Kevin Rudd, who now sits on the back bench after failing to win a leadership ballot against Ms Gillard.
Until he takes his place in the Senate, Craig Emerson will continue to act as minister for foreign affairs.
He says he could not say no to an offer to perform more public service.
''You don't choose the moment, very often the moment chooses you.''
12.22pm: Here's one to divert attention from the market this afternoon... Bob Carr will join the Senate as Foreign Affairs Minister.
12.16pm: Shares are now off the day's highs and are nearing their starting point for the session. The ASX200 is now up just 10.3 points, or 0.2 per cent, at 4265.8. The dollar has slipped marginally to be just under $US1.08.
12.09pm: Midnight phone calls, forged signatures, and millions lost - and still authorities bumbled their investigations into Melbourne fraudster Leonard Joseph Abrahams. Click here for Leonie Wood's feature.
12pm: The PM has announced a cabinet reshuffle for 12.10pm.
11.57am: Australians are reaching for the bubbly like never before, BusinessDay's Eli Greenblat reports.
New figures from the Champagne Bureau show Australia imported 4.862 million bottles in 2011, an increase of 31.9 per cent, making us the 8th largest market in the world in terms of importing the special beverage.
And its not just Australians that are opening their wallets for the French drop, with sales of Champagne worldwide recording superior growth of up to 7 per cent in value to a volume of 323 million bottles last year.
11.52am: Among the sectors materials stocks are up 0.6 per cent, financials are up 0.4 per cent and the energy index is 0.2 per cent higher.
11.45am: The market, meanwhile, has come off a bit from its highs but is still in positive territory. The ASX200 is now up 22.3 points, or 0.5 per cent, at 4277.8.
11.37am: CIMB Group is in exclusive talks with Royal Bank of Scotland to acquire some of its Asia Pacific cash equities and investment banking businesses, as part of the Malaysian bank's efforts to spur growth outside its home market.
The acquisition by Malaysian's second largest listed lender by assets could be a shot in the arm for CIMB's chief executive, Nazir Razak, who has outlined ambitious plans for his group to emerge as a leading Asian financial services firm.
But CIMB will be faced with the challenge of taking on more than a handful of expensive staff as cash equities struggle to make profits.
11.30am: Despite some recent good news, both the global and the local economic growth pictures are still fogged with risks, David Llewellyn-Smith writes.
11.23am: Photography trailblazer Eastman Kodak, which filed for bankruptcy in January, says it has agreed to sell its online photo services business, Kodak Gallery, to Shutterfly for $US23.8 million.
Eastman Kodak says Kodak Gallery accounts and images in Canada and the United States will be transferred to Shutterfly, which allows users to store and share photos online.
Kodak Gallery users who do not want their pictures moved to Shutterfly can opt out and retrieve their images through free downloads or DVDs.
Kodak Gallery has 75 million users, according to Eastman Kodak.
11.20am: Japan's unemployment rate inched up to 4.6 per cent in January from a revised 4.5 per cent in the previous month, the government says, roughly in line with economists' forecasts.
Japan's internal affairs ministry says January household spending fell by an inflation-adjusted 2.3 per cent year-on-year. The fall was bigger than a 0.8 per cent drop economists had expected.
11.14am: More on Orica's cyanide discharge (see 10.20am post) and the company says it is co-operating with the DERM investigation.
''There has been no harm to people or the environment as a result of this release,'' it said in a statement.
''DERM has indicated that the discharge of cyanide has been diluted sufficiently to be within environmental limits.''
Orica said it had advised DERM it was not currently exceeding the licence limit and was conducting its own internal investigation.
11.10am: Engineering firm Downer EDI will supply mining giant BHP Billiton with trains in a deal that could be worth more than $400 million.
Downer says it has been awarded the contract to provide electro-motive diesel trains to BHP Billiton Iron Ore in the Pilbara for the next five years.
The contract has a core value of $292 million with options offered that could bring the total value to more than $400 million.
Downers shares are up 6 cents, or 1.5 per cent, to $3.96.
11.03am: IG Markets analyst Stan Shamu says the market had been driven higher by gains among the major miners following strong commodity price gains.
''We're seeing a little bit of strength after gains in the US overnight since US stocks reached new post GFC highs. It's a pretty bullish lead.''
However, he says there are few leads from local companies as reporting season finishes this week and no major economic events are listed.
10.57am: A generally upbeat session has been tempered by some of the bigger retailers. Harvey Norman's volatile week continues - its shares are down 2 cents, or 1 per cent, to $2.
David Jones shares are also down 2 cents, or 0.7 per cent, to $2.80.
10.51am: While the dollar remains strong against the greenback - it's also at a 10-month-high against the Japanese currency - recently hitting 87.75 yen. Click here for more currencies and cross rates.
10.43am: Here's a good Friday read - blogger James Adonis ponders what our working lives are like compared to other countries. And he reckons we've got it made.
10.33am: HSBC's chief economist Paul Bloxham says an improvement in the global economy was why the RBA left the cash rate unchanged last month and believes the same will apply when it meets on Tuesday.
''On balance, we expect that global uncertainty will continue to limit local hiring which, combined with the high AUD, will see a further rise in unemployment, and one more cut from the RBA in Q2.''
''But should further labour market weakness not eventuate, the loosening phase may be over.''
10.26am: Euro zone leaders have decided to pour in cash to their debt-fighting firewall faster than initially agreed, the bloc's president said, as they bid to boost market confidence.
"Euro zone leaders ... confirmed their commitment to reassess the adequacy of the overall ceiling of the EFSF and ESM by the end of the month," said Herman Van Rompuy, referring to the bloc's two bailout funds.
"In addition, they agreed to accelerate the payments of the paid-in capital for the ESM," he added.
The ESM, or European Stability Mechanism, is a permanent bailout pot due to come into force in July and eventually replace the temporary EFSF fund that has already rescued debt-wracked Portugal, Ireland and Greece.
10.20am: In news this morning, Queensland's Department of Environment and Resource Management is investigating Orica Australia over released waste water containing high levels of cyanide into Gladstone Harbour in January and February.
It says the company could be fined up to $832,000 if it's found it failed to properly report the incidents to authorities, AAP reports.
High levels of cyanide can kill fish. DERM said there was no evidence so far of environmental damage but tests were continuing.
Orica's shares are up 32 cents, or 1.2 per cent, to $26.46.
10.15am: Among the miners, BHP is up 0.76 per cent to $35.82, Rio Tinto is up 0.68 per cent at $66.70 and Fortescue is up 1.8 per cent to $5.63.
Banks are also higher: the Commonwealth has gained 0.55 per cent to $49.33, ANZ is up 1.15 per cent to $21.94, NAB has gained 0.21 per cent to $23.63 and Westpac is up about 0.6 per cent to $20.82.

Why are Governments and their Agencies so anti business?
My client is a flooring contractor who does a lot of sub-contract work and is always due a refund on CIS deductions offset. Limited Company with sole working director.
In the last couple of years he has doubled his turnover and in current period will probably do £400,000. He provides work for several sub contractors; is profitable and does not need to use his overdraft. Just the sort of enterprise you would think invaluable in today's climate.
I have urged him many times to apply for gross payment status but he refuses as he considers this a way of building up a little savings! A few years back he received a substantial refund.
Last year on P35 we applied for refund of £2,015. This year c. £3,500 potentially.
Received usual letter re provision of Payment Deduction Statements & bank statements, cross-referenced etc. I wrote on his behalf suggesting that the request was inordinate and unreasonable as to time and cost of complying. I also asked for summaries of all deductions made by main contractors for the year in question. I have previously obtained such summaries from HMRC.
Just received an "Adjudication" from a complaints manager insisting on full supporting documentation quoting various powers available to HMRC "As the information provided by your client's contractors does not match that in Box 28 of their 2010/11 form P35, sight of all PDS and Bank Statements is a necessity.
This is a bit rich following on from the MPs expenses scandal and the continuing waste and inefficiency in the public sector.
Furthermore :- "With regard to your request of the contractor information that HMRC holds for your client, we will be unable to supply this. HMRC are no longer obliged to provide these details to employers or their agents as it has been identified that this poses a security risk. As such it has been made exempt from the Freedom of Information Act. There are full details of this on the HMRC website."
As a lot of main contractors fail to provide deduction certificates the whole thing is a nonsense. How are we supposed to reconcile this when there could be timing etc differences? Incidentally we do his invoicing and itemise CIS to be deducted so we have a check on refund due.
HMRC could short-circuit whole system; tighten up monthly report procedure, ensure all deduction certificates are issued and determine, for each sub contractor, what their due amount is to be. Simples!
My questions are : What security risk?
Can anyone involved in Working Together comment on where this topic (of providing summaries of main contractors deductions)stands at present?
Sorry this is so long but I am seething!

Dear BiM world – here is a chance to help out the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) AND, in the process, actually nudge the entire pain world. The IASP is currently working with the WHO on a system of classifying chronic pain as part of the ICD-11. We would like to invite you to participate in the testing of the draft system.
**Please note that the deadline is end of August.**
Looking for parents with chronic pain who have children between the ages of 8-17 years old to participate in an online study. You are eligible to participate if you have chronic pain on a daily or almost daily basis for at least 6 months and have a child between the ages of 8 to 17 years old.
It is easy to participate. You only need to follow this link https://surveys.dal.ca/opinio/s?s=34548 and complete the survey. Participation will take about 15-20 minutes.
If you are interested in finding out more about this exciting research study please feel free to contact the Centre for Pediatric Pain Research at +1 902 470-6906, Monday to Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., or you can email the Centre for Pediatric Pain Research at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Preconference workshop Sunday 17 September 2017 at 1.30pm – 5.00pm
Venue: National Convention Centre Canberra
Cost: RMSANZ Member – $195 | Non-member – $250
Speaker: Professor Lorimer Moseley
This workshop will provide an update of contemporary models of spinal cord processing of nociceptive input and how the brain might produce pain and other protective outputs; it will cover the idea of neuroimmune networks – or 'neurotags' – and their competition and collaboration, and provide background, rationale and implementation of a clinical framework based on the idea of an internal 'Protection-meter', or 'protectometer'. Material will be drawn from Explain Pain Supercharged (Moseley & Butler 2017) and the Explain Pain Handbook: Protectometer (Moseley & Butler 2015). It will use accessible language, contemporary learning models. Hopefully, it will be fun.

Check out the video after the break for a step by step tutorial on creating a tiny gingerbread house that can hang on the side of your mug (You can also get the recipe by clicking here). Although it looks great, you'll probably have to eat it first, or remove it while you drink, lest it be crushed by your nose and forehead.

I did it to look younger. Florida the statute of limitations to sue is 2 years. Unfortunatley I have 1 month left & lawyers saying not enough time.
The procedure was 2 hours. Parts of my face still numb yet while cutting around the second ear I felt them cutting me. It felt like they were using a scissor. They told me they were almost finished. The local anestisia was a real joke.
I have very noticable scarring and discoloration. You can see where they cut up around & down my ears. I still have itching - oh they didn't even attach my ears Back right.
The place was mobbed & they like to keep potential patients separate & away from returning patients. Since I can't name the place I will tell you this. You can see the building from I-95 near cypress exit. They are in the alpine motors jaguar building.
I can never again wear my hair i'm a ponytail - the scars are even around the hairline in the back of my head. And I also have a matching lump on both sides back there.
One dr. Was from my hometown of Staten Island New York. He told me don't worry he would take good care if me. So I had a false confidence in him.
You get what you pay for! Ignore those bullshit commercials & get yourself a private plastic surgeon!

It's been a while but here's finally a new casting update! Jonquil has found her Florian: Tony Way has been cast as Ser Dontos!
Confused? It will all become clear, we won't spoil you! Suffice to say, Way's Kings' Landing-based knight will become very important to a main character later on in the story.
If you're read the book: is this how you imagined Ser Dontos to look?

Estimating Export Equations for Developing Countries
: The paper uses annual time series data to estimate the price and income elasticities of export demand for three developing countries Fiji, Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Bangladesh. The LSE-Hendry s general-to-specific approach (known as GETS) is employed by using correct specifications of relative price to find the relevant export elasticities. Income elasticities of export demand are found to be unity for all the three countries. The price elasticity estimates, in contrast, have correct signs, and give plausible magnitudes. Based on the results, exports in developing countries can be seen as an engine for growth, and thus, export promotion policies are necessary to improve trade balance and to achieve greater export-based growth.

I will be taking my first cruise with my children ages 2,6,8. I am looking for reviews of camp carnival. Specifically safety and cleanliness issues. Did they keep the kids busy or were they board? This will be an extended family cruise, so there will be cousins that are the same ages as them in there as well. My sister and I are going to get three rooms so that the children will be all together between the adult rooms. Also any additional ideas and tips would be greatly appreciated. Should we get drink cards for the kids? We usually do not allow them soda, but I fear they will be board with juice. What about milk? Can you get it? How much? Thank you so much!!!! Oh, we are going Eastern Carribean.
Welcome to Cruise Chat.
I have had 10 years of experience with Camp Carnival at every age level. We started cruising with our 2 boys when they were 5 and 8.
(The youngest is now 16 and headed out on his 20th Carnival Cruise).
You can relax. The Camp Carnival Staff have always provided a safe and fun environment. Our youngest son is a special needs child...so I have a PhD in being overprotective.
If your children are still 2, 6 and 8 when they board the ship...the 2 year old will be in the 2 - 5 age group and the 6 and 8 year old will be together in the 6 -8 age group.
Here are a copy of these two age group Capers...so you can get "an idea" of the activities they provide.
While this may not be the exact ship you are going on...the activities are pretty standard from ship to ship....so this will give you a good idea.
We have always found the staff to be excellent.
Of course as with anything...some are better than others...but we have never had a bad experience.
If your oldest is going to be 9 when they get on the ship...let me know and I will post the 9-12 Capers for you.
Yes, there is milk on the ship...anytime. You can also order it with room service.
Except the fact that the 2 year old may fuss a little...like going to a new nursery at church the first time...but you will have a pager and the little one will settle down.
Happy Cruising!!!

Indonesia Fashion Week 2014 Review (finally!)
|March 17, 2014
|Posted by The Dilly Chic under Uncategorized
The exhausting long await of Indonesia Fashion Week 2014 review is finally here!
First of all, though, a sincere apology from me. There's no excuse for staying down for so long. It's the usual catch-and-release game with life, as you might have known it. There has never been an intention to drop and forgo this blog completely, no worries. It's just that in this game, you have to constantly reorder your priorities and unfortunately, this blog is one of the many casualties.
ANYWAY, the review!
The Marketplace & the Heavenly Ambiance
Indonesia Fashion Week is relentless in terms of trying to present the best Indonesian creatives from all over the country. As always, the fashion shows and the fashion marketplace goes side by side. The most charming thing is the fact that tenants from all kinds of background stand one next to the other; the boutiques, the newcomers, the household name, the divine creative, the unique concepts, and all other kinds of fashion creatures. That way the visitors were able to immerse in the heavenly atmosphere of the market without worrying too much about the tenants's backgrounds (which of course, means the price of the stuff).
The Mannequin Showcase at the Entrance
A lovely bomber jacket, AND a snippet of the marketplace
The talkshow with ZALORA Indonesia
The festive opening ceremony in which I was unable to attend. Yay!
The fascinating unique jewelry by Tree Craft Diary
The fashionable orderly shoes arrangement by Kulkith Shoes
Even the travel bags look real eye-poppin
Bags by Wanni
The clothes, the brain-poppin clothes
Note: I even chatted with a kind lady who just held a fashion show just hours before I came as I was staring at her beautifully hand-stitched sweaters. Kudos to Miss Nuniek Mawardi for being such a delightful person.
Embroidery Work by Nuniek Mawardi
The Runway Shows
What would a fashion week be without runways? IFW 2014 completed the arrangement of fashion overload with series of runway shows featuring household name Indonesian designers, brilliant newcomers, and collective designers fashion show parades. Featured here are the best I could gather so far. Of course, plenty more are more or equally amazing, but I tried my darnedest to pick out the winners.
Disclaimer: A lot of photos are taken from Indonesia Fashion Week's official website unless not stated since I couldn't get a good angle and my camera died halfway of day 3 (plus I only came for two days instead of the intended four full days)
Ali Charisma (photo taken from IFW's official website)
Dini Pratiwi Irawati (photos taken from IFW's official website)
Argentinian designer Gabriel Lage (photos taken from IFW's official website)
Mardiana Ika Butoni (photos taken from IFW's official website)
Neti Lesmana (my own stock, see the awkward angle I was talking about?)
Priyo Oktaviano featuring Ducati Indonesia (my utmost favorite from them all)
Veronika Vidyanita (photo taken from IFW official website)
Votum by Sebastian Gunawan (photos taken from IFW's official website)
That about wraps everything up. Surely coming there was a hell of a nice break from reality. It was amazing, majesty, and magnificent. It delivered what it claimed in the tagline, "the biggest fashion movement". I can't argue with it.
-The Dilly Chic-
One Response to Indonesia Fashion Week 2014 Review (finally!)
Thanks for dropping by my blog.
I was reading earlier about the Indonesian Fashion Week somewhere and now at your blog and man! I love what I see. From what I see, I think the Indonesians are a talented bunch and the dresses are to die for. It's really great fashion. I specially like the Gabriel Lage silver bejeweled dress. It's beautiful.
Thank you for sharing this with your readers.

Handheld Market in Slight Decline Compared to 2003
Although the worldwide handheld market shows a slight increase of 3.2% from first quarter to second quarter of 2004, it still posted a 2.2% drop from second quarter of 2003, according to research firm IDC's recent study. PalmOne showed a notable growth over the last quarter, while HP showed a loss of its market share during the same period. Sony continues to hold on to 7.8% of the market, though that is a much smaller percentage than last year. This is in part due to their announcement to discontinue its Clie line outside of Japan.

Traxxas E-Maxx Brushless 4WD RTR RC Truck w/TSM
Additional Photos:
Our Price:
Out of stock
Product Code:
First, Select Color
This is the Traxxas E-Maxx Brushless 4-Wheel Drive Ready-to-Race Waterproof Electric Radio Controlled Monster Truck with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) and Self-Righting functionality. It comes fully-assembled and Ready-To-Race with the new TQi 2.4GHz radio system, MXL-6s waterproof brushless power system, a painted and decaled body, pre-glued tires, and detailed instructions. As with all Traxxas vehicles, the parts availability and product support is top-notch. Take a look below to see just what makes this truck such a great value.
Just add batteries and a charger, and you are set to drive! See recommended batteries and charger at bottom.
Traxxas' E-Maxx Brushless Edition is better equipped than ever! The already-loaded E-Maxx now includes Traxxas Stability Management waterproof electronics, and the TQi transmitter as standard equipment. This heavy-duty setup gives E-Maxx wheel-lifting torque and brutally quick acceleration on the way to over 35mph with two 7-cell NiMh batteries - or blow by 65mph by installing optional Power Cell 3S LiPo batteries!
Traxxas Stability Management - Accelerate Faster/Corner Faster/Brake Harder/Stay in Control
Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) allows you to experience all the extreme power, speed, and acceleration that was engineered into your E-Maxx Brushless making it much easier to control on common slippery surfaces such as a dusty track, loose dirt, and even ice and snow. Punch it off the line and TSM goes to work sensing the vehicles direction and making steering corrections to provide straight-ahead full-throttle acceleration without fishtailing, spinouts, and loss of control. TSM also works during cornering, first making intuitive corrections to maintain your line, and then allowing you to hammer the throttle earlier in the turn for much faster exit speeds. Braking is dramatically improved as TSM works to keep you arrow straight until you come to a complete stop.
The World's Most Advanced Ready-To-Race Radio System
E-Maxx Brushless Edition is equipped with the world's most advanced Ready-To-Race radio system. The all-new Traxxas TQi arrives with a full complement of tuning features and offers the unbeatable convenience of "no channels, no crystals" 2.4GHz technology - but that's just the beginning. Automatic model recognition instantly recalls your settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models. Just switch on and drive, no naming or "model memory" settings required. Power up the transmitter and the model you want to drive, and the settings for that model are dialed in immediately! The new TQi 2.4GHz transmitter is fully adjustable: steering and throttle end points can be set precisely, and the Multi-Function knob can be programmed to control Steering Sensitivity (Expo), Throttle Sensitivity (Expo), Steering Percentage (Dual Rate), Braking Percentage (Dual Rate), or Throttle Trim. TQi's ergonomic case design provides all-day driving comfort, and the unique internal antenna contributes to its sleek, modern look.
Now equipped with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM)!
Self-Righting (using 6S LiPo power)
Waterproof MXL-6s Brushless Power System
TQi 2.4GHz Radio System
Up to 25.2 Volts of Massive Brushless Power
Heavy-Duty 17mm Hex Hubs
New body design and graphics
Aggressive 6.3" Maxx-Sized tires
Black-Chrome 3.8" Split-Spoke wheels
Top Speed: 35+mph on 7-cell NiMH, 65+mph all-out on 6S LiPo!
Built specifically to handle the rigors of large, power-hungry trucks, the waterproof MXL-6s electronic speed control is ready for 6S LiPo power with its massive 6.5mm gold-plated connectors, high-efficiency heatsink, integrated cooling fan and heavy-duty components. The speed control sends its power pulses to a 2200kV, 75mm motor, designed specifically for maximum performance and reliability with 6S LiPo power in torque-hungry applications. The aluminum motor can is machined to act as a massive heatsink, high-grade bearings deliver maximum efficiency, and high-strength Neodymium magnets give E-Maxx Brushless Edition outrageous torque. To resist the twist, a beefy 5mm shaft transfers power to the Brushless-Ready transmission.
Sealed Electronics Extend Your Driving Fun
Only Traxxas lets you experience 4WD excitement year-round, no matter what Mother Nature has to offer. Water, mud, and snow don't slow down the E-Maxx; its electronic speed control, receiver box, and high-torque digital steering servos are all waterproof for worry-free fun in wet conditions that send other trucks back to the workbench. Drive the E-Maxx where you want, when you want - the only limit is your imagination.
Designed From The Start For Brushless Power
At Traxxas, we don't make conversions. We built it right the first time. So, when our engineers sat down to design the latest E-Maxx, they made sure it had all the strength and durability needed for today's most powerful aftermarket brushless setups. Give E-Maxx all you've got; its Brushless-Ready transmission is built for hard-hitting 6S LiPo power with the burliest brushless motors, and every component between the motor and the tires is proven tough for full-throttle fun, pack after pack, with the durability and reliability you expect from Traxxas.
Traxxas Link Wireless Module Compatible
The TQi's most important new feature may already be in your pocket. The TQi can be equipped with an Traxxas Link Wireless Module (#6511, sold separately) that turns your Android, iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch (sold separately) into a powerful tuning tool for your Traxxas model. The full-color display combines with the free Traxxas Link, App to deliver an intuitive, high-definition, full-color graphical user interface that unlocks the mysteries of optimizing your radio system for ultimate vehicle control. Traxxas Link also opens the door to telemetry capability when you add optional sensors to your model.
Heavy-Duty 17mm Hex Hubs
E-Maxx Brushless Edition's 17mm splined aluminum hex hubs make certain its considerable horsepower is delivered directly to the treads. The splined design is extra strong with unsurpassed torque handling to resist twist-out no matter how hard the 2200Kv motor pulls at the tires. The unique hex-hub shape also accepts standard 17mm-hex wheels.
Massive 6.3" Maxx Tires
Extreme Brushless Power goes wasted if the tires can't put the power to the ground. E-Maxx Brushless Edition has it covered with some of the toughest treads in Traxxas' arsenal, the aggressive Maxx tires used on the hard-hitting Revo 3.3 and T-Maxx 3.3. These massive meats offer tenacious grip, and their huge footprint gives E-Maxx greater stability and generous ground clearance for all-terrain fun. The tires are securely mounted to Twin-Spoke wheels, now covered in sinister black chrome as part of the exclusive Brushless Edition look.
ProGraphix Body
E-Maxx Brushless Edition has a powerful presence even when it's standing still. The muscular lines of the new body evoke performance with bulging fender flares and cutting-edge graphics that put even custom painters to shame. The new, shorter cab enhances the long-and-low look while providing ample clearance for the motor.
Extended Wheelbase, Low CG Chassis For Rock-Solid Stability
Even at maximum speed, E-Maxx feels stable and controlled thanks to its extra-long 335mm wheelbase, 30mm longer than the original E-Maxx. The chassis also features battery compartments that position the batteries lower, angled in towards the center of the truck to lower its center of gravity. The result is improved handling and cornering stability. Heavy-duty chassis braces work together with a new center skid plate to greatly enhance chassis strength and torsional rigidity, so brushless horsepower is channeled into pure acceleration, not unwanted flex.
Fast, Easy Battery Installation
Traxxas engineers are always looking for ways to make Traxxas products the standard for ease of use. The new snap-lock battery hold downs speed battery installation. Press a lever to release, snap them in to lock. Securing your batteries takes just seconds and there are no clips to lose. The new configurable battery compartments are designed to easily accept either 6 or 7-cell battery packs and comparably sized LiPo packs.
Waterproof, High-Torque, Digital Steering Servos
E-Maxx Brushless Edition is equipped for exceptional steering precision with dual, waterproof, high-torque servos (#2075). Twin servos are lighter and more compact than a single large servo, and together they deliver unmatched monster steering response. The servo saver rides on ball bearings to keep the steering response smooth and precise. In short, it's the most powerful and responsive Maxx steering system ever.
Adjustable Wheelie Bar
To handle extreme brushless power, the adjustable Traxxas wheelie bar is mandatory equipment for the E-Maxx Brushless Edition! Four snap-in adjustment positions allow you to choose how extreme you want your wheelie action to be. In the down position, it keeps the front end planted to show off E-Maxx's incredible acceleration. Raise the wheelie bar to its full-up position and the action gets wild, with giant wheelies that hang on as long as you keep mashing the throttle! The wheelie bar's unique design allows it to be easily removed in situations where you may not want the additional control.
