Black Versace dress of Elizabeth Hurley
Elizabeth Hurley wore a black Versace dress, often referred to as "That Dress", when she accompanied Hugh Grant to the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral
in 1994. The dress was held together by several oversized gold safety
pins. The dress is perhaps Versace's best-known creation, and is
considered by some to be largely responsible for launching Hurley onto
the global media stage.
Hurley said of the dress, "That dress was a favour from Versace because I couldn't afford to buy one. His [Grant's] people told me they didn't have any evening wear, but there was one item left in their press office. So I tried it on and that was it."However, some viewed the dress as a notorious one which was too brash, overtly sexually charged and revealing. Hurley said in response to comments about the revealing nature of the dress, "Unlike many other designers, Versace designs clothes to celebrate the female form rather than eliminate it."

Phillip Hughes' Death: Cricket Closes to Support Sean Abbott
Former Test fast bowler Jason Gillespie told Australia's Fox Sports
on Friday the 22-year-old Abbott was "absolutely shaken and broken at
the moment" as he dealt with the tragic accident which ended Hughes'
life. His fateful "bouncer" was the kind of short-pitch delivery that
gets bowled dozens of times in every senior match, usually without any
problems.
Abbott visited the Sydney hospital where Hughes died on Thursday and was comforted by Australia captain Michael Clarke and Hughes' sister, Megan.
Cricket Australia on Friday pledged continuing support for Abbott as cricketers around the world offered sympathy and encouragement for the young paceman. (Waqar Fears for Abbott's Future)
"I had a chat to him last night and I was incredibly impressed by the way he was holding himself and his maturity," Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland said on Friday. "But the point is this not a moment-in-time thing. This is a grieving process that will affect people in different ways. What we will do and the relevant experts will do is provide Sean with the support he needs."

All-New-Pulsar 220-Launching-soon-in-INDIA
Until recently, Bajaj Pulsar 220 used to
be the most appealing bike for those looking for the Indian performance
bike with highest power/price ratio. The Pulsar 220 brought many firsts
along with it. The Pulsar 220 became the first Bajaj bike to sport fuel
injection. That the FI was later dumped for a carb. setup is a
different story. The Pulsar also became the first bike from Bajaj to
have more than 20PS of power. Other than this, the Pulsar 220 also
became the first Bajaj bike to sport a quarter fairing, along with
having bits like rear disc brake, projector headlamps and a clip-ons
styled handlebar.
The
modified Rouser 220 that you see here is built on an Aprilia Deltabox
frame. The fairing, fuel tank and most of the body panels seem to have
been taken from a 600 cc Gixxer. The fairing supports the same old
headlamp and while the front-look might not be to everyone’s taste, the
front end of the bike looks absolutely stunning when viewed in profile.
Oh, and the Bugs Bunny ears continue to perform the duty of RVMs. The
front section also gets upside-down forks from the R6 along with the R6
front disc brakes. The 17 inch rims and the swingarm seem to have been
donated by a Honda RVF400. The rims come wearing Michelin rubber, with
the front getting 120/70 and rear getting 180/55 spec footwear.

Mahindra-Owned SsangYong Reveals Compact SUV TIVOLI
SsangYong,Mahindra & Mahindraowned
Korean carmaker, has revealed the official sketches of its upcoming
compact SUV - the Tivoli. Scheduled to be launched in January 2015 in
Korea and globally during the second quarter of 2015, the car is
expected to come to India as well around the same time.
Based on SsangYong's new design language, the car certainly looks lot more stylish than other SsangYong SUVs. However, the production-variant will look slightly different from this. The compact SUV takes its design cues from SsangYong XIV-Air and XIV-Adventure concepts that were showcased at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. Whereas the front-fascia of the car looks quite dynamic and sporty, the rear profile looks very plain with conventional extended wrap-around tail-lamps. The cabin also looks very modern and futuristic.
"'Tivoli' is a name of an Italian city located adjacent to Rome.It has been long beloved by Italian people as a resort town which is well known for its cultural heritage with palaces such as Villa d'Este and its scenic beauty.", said the company in a statement.

Android 5.0 Lollipop Bug-king
Another day and another Android 5.0 Lollipop
bug. This time multiple users running the latest Android build on the
Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 handsets are reporting a bug that is preventing them
from sending SMS messages.
Notably, Google has now confirmed to a Dutch site that the SMS bug is also affecting the new Nexus 6 while a user has claimed that the new Moto X is also having problems with sending texts. The bug however is only reported to be affecting users on select carriers - Vodafone Netherlands, Vodafone India, and Mobistar (Belgium).
One of the users describes the issue, saying, "When trying to send an SMS it fails. Using the new messenger app I get an error code 38."
A user from India using Vodafone writes, "Same issue here on Vodafone India. Not able to send SMS to any number."
Reporting the bug on the Android Issue Tracker titled "Cannot send SMS Vodafone NL", Android 5.0 Lollipop users are claiming that the messages sent from an affected device never reach the recipient; though devices that are said to be affected by the bug can still receive messages.
While acknowledging the SMS bug, Google responded to Tweakers and said (Google Translate), "We have discovered a software bug in Android 5.0 Lollipop which ensures that Vodafone customers cannot send text messages in the Netherlands. This bug affects the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, but the Nexus 6 as well."
Prior to this, we'd heard about a Wi-Fi bug that was reported to be affecting some users, and then multiple reports claimed that Android 5.0 Lollipop also removed the very useful 'silent mode' from phones. Some Nexus 7 (2013) tablet users on Monday were reporting issues in playing any video on the device after updating to the latest version of Android.
