Pakistani garment exporters fear further delays in the implementation of an EU trade concession as textile producing countries France, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece are now opposing the facility.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) earlier this year approved a waiver allowing 75 Pakistani products duty-free access to European Union (EU) markets for three years.
The trade concessions now have to go through meetings of representatives from the European Commission, European Council and European Parliament.
According to officials at Pakistan's ministry of commerce, the EU has finalised a list of 26 items on which the Tariff Rated Quota (TRQ) will be applied - instead of the original EU agreement to allow duty-free export of 75 items including textiles, garments and, leather goods.
Initial estimates had suggested that Pakistan would earn about US$300m over the next three years, but the financial benefit of the concession is now likely be far less. The amount was to be spent on the victims of the floods that devastated the country in 2010.
Baroness Catherine Ashton, the European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, has assured Pakistani authorities that the facility will soon be approved.
Ejaz Khokhar, former chairman of the Pakistan Readymade Garment manufacturers and Exporters Association (PRGMEA), hopes for a US$900m garment export boost after the trade concessions.
And Mohsin Aziz, chairman of the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association, says that although the country has been hit hard by an ongoing energy crisis and high interest rates, the textile industry is preparing to invest US$1bn a year for the next five years to double production.
Pakistan will also be able to apply for zero EU duties on its exports to the EU under the GSP+ incentive scheme from 2014 under a planned reform of trade preferences approved by the European Parliament last week.

Are vaginas really that offensive?
Jake Adelstein questions, "Japanese artist Megumi Igarashi's vagina kayak is considered obscene, but an annual penis festival is a family event. What's the deal?"
h/t The Daily Beast
Surely designer crucidicks are on your Christmas wish list? Or not, perhaps, if you are one of the outraged Christians protesting the new Tom Ford penis pendant, as reported by Christian Post:
… Read the restFlamboyant fashion designer Tom Ford sparked outrage recently following the launch of his new collection of phallic crucifix necklaces.
The pendant is shaped like a phallus and resembles a crucifix. Outraged Christians have blasted the unusual jewelry as "blasphemous," with some even calling it an attack on Christianity.
The necklace is available in either silver or 18-karat white gold, according to Ford's website, and it comes in small, medium and large sizes. It is priced at $790 and has come just in time for Christmas, which has fueled even more outrage.
"This, ladies and gents, is the epitome of blasphemy against Christ Jesus," one Twitter user wrote.
"Just in time for Christmas, a way to say "screw Christ," the Savior of the World.
via The Daily Beast:
… Read the restThere are only so many ways to wrap a penis in plastic, but that hasn't stopped a new crop of prophylactic engineers from trying to exhaust them all.
Condoms remain one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections and yet, according to the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior conducted by Indiana University, only 1 in 3 acts of vaginal intercourse among single people in the U.S. are protected by a condom. In their early teens, the survey found, men use condoms 80 percent of the time but by age 18, their condom use falls below 50 percent.
Why is such a simple countermeasure against headache and disease still so unpopular? And what can be done to make the humble condom more appealing? That was the question the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation asked last year, when they put out a call to inventors, asking them to build better, more affordable, but mostly more pleasurable condoms.
I just don't know how to introduce an essay about Christ's foreskin, known as the Holy Prepuce, so take it away Stassa Edwards at The New Inquiry:
… Read the restEurope's history of penis worship was cast aside when the Catholic Church decided Jesus's foreskin was too potent to control.
Grigori Rasputin's dick is on display at the Museum of Erotics in Saint Petersburg. Housed in a jar of formaldehyde, the member, which the museum's owner claims he obtained from a French antiquarian, is quite sizable. Actually, it's enormous for a human penis: Wide and meaty, it measures about a foot long. According to the museum, just gazing on the preserved member can cure a range of problems, everything from infertility to a humdrum sex life. But the specimen isn't a human penis. It more than likely came from a horse.
It wouldn't be the first time something inhuman was passed off as Rasputin's dick.
Well, they didn't exactly put it that way, but…
… Read the restContrary to popular belief, a new study out of Kenya found that husbands with larger penises were more likely to be cheated on by their wives (shocking, we know).
For the study — published this month in PLOSOne — researchers interviewed 545 married couples in Kenya in order to better understand their relationship habits and, more specifically, to identify factors which contributed to women having extramarital affairs.
Researchers asked both partners to self-report the male's erect penis size (they had a 15 inch ruler on hand for reference). Then, if there were differences between the estimates (which there were), they either took the average of the two or went with the estimate from the partner who was less likely to fib.
What they found was rather shocking:
"Every one inch longer penis increased the likelihood of women being involved in extra-marital partnership by almost one-and-half times," the researchers wrote.
Bad news for Andre "Christ Bearer" Johnson: The Wu-Tang Clan affiliated (or maybe not*) rapper cut his penis off before leaping from the balcony of his second-story North Hollywood home, and doctors are not going to be able to reattach it.
The Wu-Tang Clan-affiliated rapper who cut off his penis before leaping off the second-floor balcony of his North Hollywood apartment has lost the appendage for good, according to a report.
Andre Johnson — who raps under the name Christ Bearer — was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after he apparently flayed himself during the bizarre suicide bid early Wednesday, TMZ reported.
It's Kanamara Matsuri time in Japan – Huffington Post has a gallery of photos for your perusal… Via HuffPo:
Held this year on April 6, the festival is a celebration of the penis and fertility. People parade gigantic phallic-shaped mikoshi (portable Shinto shrines) down the streets during the event, as revelers suck on penis lollipops, buy penis-themed memorabilia and pose with sculptures in the shape of — you guessed it — penises.
Rumors about Napoleon's supposed teeny peeny have circulated for years. According to the Independent, the rumors are true, but how would they be able to tell unless it was somehow preserved at full salute? For that matter, are we even sure that this little guy belonged to Napoleon? Did it come with a certifi-dick of authenticity? Oh, speaking of famous phalli, Russian mystic Rasputin's was supposedly a foot long. Click here for an NSFW pic of what is alleged to be his monster wang.

Apparently her husband had forgiven her after she cut off his penis. Then she came back and cut off the rest of his genitals.
… Read the restDuring the first incident, Zhang reportedly crushed up sleeping pills and put them in Han Mou's drink. When he fell asleep, she went after his private parts with some scissors and was able to flush his penis down the toilet before he woke up.
She was apparently worried that he was interested in another woman. "If he and I divorced, and that our children will have a stepmother, a terrible thing." Zhang told China News.
Somehow Mou was able to forgive her. "I still love my wife," he said. "She was 16 years old just like me, and gave me two sons."
Zhang was released on bail and returned home to look after her husband and children.
According to the translation about what happened next, some time passed before Zhang became jealous again and used a syringe to inject a box of milk with crushed sleeping pills.
"You do find mathematics in the darndest places."
-Donald Duck
Conspiracy theorists are dreadfully thorough, but I guess most of them missed this one: Donald in Mathmagic Land, the 1959 Disney featurette starring Donald Duck which teaches us about the Pythagorean cult, the pentagram, the Fibonacci Sequence, and the Golden Ratio.
As is the case with most men of influence, Walt Disney has been identified as a member of the Illuminati (or at least a pawn) by more than one conspiracy buff. Accusations have included pedophilia, child sexual programming, occult slavery, Freemasonry ties, blah blah blah. Pretty much, the usual. An interesting list of some of the weirder points appears in an earlier Disinfo article by 5by5.
One recurring accusation is that the Disney films and cartoons are riddled with subliminal messages of a sexual nature. Most likely, you've heard of them before. A dust cloud in The Lion King spells out the word, "sex." A phallus shows up on the cover of The Little Mermaid. Aladdin says, "Teenagers take off your clothes." The list goes on a bit.… Read the rest

GOAT Boosting Guide
After a lot of experimenting, I have a method for getting GOAT with consistent results. I call this - 'The Trial Account Boosting Method'. Before reading any further, know that this is only for hardcore completists and takes a considerable amount of time and coordination. This is just to prove that it can be done without having to beg random higher ranking players to let you boost off of them(yeah right). You would need the following:
Time estimate:If this guide helped you get GOAT, please post. Also post any comments/suggestions/questions, however there is no need to message me on xbl. I have a subscription to this thread. [Edit: Nevermind about posting here if you got GOAT - you will get spammed with people begging you to boost them. Sending me a quick thanks over XBL is cool though.] Lastly, please don't message me to help you boost in the game. The steps are spelled out above for anyone dedicated enough to get it done. [Edit: I no longer even have the game] Don't use this thread to find boosting partners, use the Achievement Trading Thread and just reference the 'The Trial Account Boosting Method' for GOAT.

How to satisfy your man's need for sex when you're not in the mood
A recent post by Little Miss Wife shared the dirty truth about what men really want . So, what better than a follow up post to discuss how to satisfy your man's need for sex when you're not in the mood?
In a recent LMW survey men shared that what men want most from their partner is SEX. And, reasonably so, men are hardwired for physical contact from their companion. Ladies, its not their fault they are animals!
Unfortunately, this is where we women often differ.
With raging hormones, a complicated sex drive and a body that changes frequently throughout the lifetime (ahem, the responsibility of bearing their children, for example!) sometimes it can be difficult for women to catch up.
Thus, we arrive at a common predicament: What to do when you want to satisfy your partner sexually but your body just ain't in the mood?
Here are 4 quick tips to help you out!:
Yes, that is right, take one for the team. Just get for a second that your overall commitment in your partnership is to contribute to your partner's life and overall happiness. Sex is just a small part of that happiness.
Have you ever seen him get home late from work and although he is tired he takes out the garbage for you? Or, maybe he spends time with you and some of your old friends from high school he doesn't really enjoy. Same thing here. He is taking one for the team to make you happy.
So, strap on those hooker heels honey and give him a show! Who knows, you may even end up getting in the mood too.
Ever heard the saying: "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine"? Well, it works.
He wants sex and you want the bathroom to get painted….hmmm….sound like a good swap?!
Sounds a little business like but sometimes that is what you need to satisfy both parties. A good deal leaves both parties feeling like they have one the lottery.
Bottom line: it takes something for you to make him feel good when your body just won't go there so make it worth your efforts.
If you are not in the mood it might be a lack of communication in what you need sexually from your partner. As relationships evolves, sexual relationships evolve too so it is important to be on top of letting your partner know what you need.
Or, if it is a case of your body weighing you down (ie. its that time of the month, you are pregnant or have just given birth etc.) be in communication with your partner. Share with your partner why you are not in the mood and when you will be able to be with him. Let him know it is not about him so he is not left thinking: "she does not want me anymore", "my wife is prude", "am I not sexy?", "I have no clue what to do!" – men actually think this, believe it or not!
Everyone has the right over their own body and he should have the right to take care of business if need be. Believe it or not, many women ban their men from porn and/or masturbation. Just because it may not be a female form of arousal (for some women) doesn't mean you have to ban your man from this mode of sexual self expression. Women tend to make it personal if they catch their man checking out a porno or masturbating ("I'm not good enough?", "He likes that more than he likes me"?) Ladies, he is just horny and he wants to relieve himself!
Bring these 4 tips home tonight and ask your man if you think its true? Engage in a conversation and see what erupts!
And, not only are these 4 tips great from a sexual context but they can also be employed in many other areas of your relationship.
Yours with love LMW,

Not every trip ends with a trophy. That said, in order to lose against a leopard, Executive Editor Adam Heggenstaller had to hunt one. Read his story here.
A safari for Cape buffalo and sable may have its "dark" side, but this opportunity is surely one of the brightest combo hunts in present-day Africa.
Read on to find out where all this money goes!
If unchecked, a proposed ban on the sale and trade of legally owned ivory would harm American hunters.
Inspired by Field Editor Ron Spomer, NRA Member Joyce D. Schaefer shares the story of an eland hunt—in south Texas.
Some say the man-eating leopards and tigers than plagued India and Africa in the old days are history. But other reports, and even recent video, suggest otherwise.
We've all read online comments online accompanying hunting stories that say something to the effect that "hunters always praise themselves as saviors of animals, but they don't really do anything to preserve and protect wildlife." Scott Olmsted is here to tell you that is bunk.
We've all heard, discussed, and repeated the claim that "hunting is good for the species," but how long does it take? The BullShooters provide an answer.
Photos from an African safari draw threats and rants, and reveal a complete lack of understanding about wildlife management.
NRA E-Media's Tom Rickwalder had an opportunity to take a variety of game on his very first African safari—including the elusive lechwe.
In the floodplains of the Caprivi Strip, hunting dangerous game sometimes means taking to the water.
On his first Namibia safari, the author's adventures go beyond his wildest childhood dreams and ignite an inextinguishable love for Africa.
Get all the details you need at the "Your First African Safari" seminar.
It does not take a village to feed a village. It takes one hunter to assume his natural role in the environment.

Easter devotions are here! Sign up for our Lent and Easter email devotions.
Various regulations as to the relation between debtor and creditor are laid down in the Scriptures.
(1.) The debtor was to deliver up as a pledge to the creditor what he could most easily dispense with (Deut. 24:10, 11).
(2.) A mill, or millstone, or upper garment, when given as a pledge, could not be kept over night (Ex. 22:26, 27).
(3.) A debt could not be exacted during the Sabbatic year (Deut. 15:1-15).
For other laws bearing on this relation see Lev. 25:14, 32, 39; Matt. 18:25, 34.
(4.) A surety was liable in the same way as the original debtor (Prov. 11:15; 17:18).

The lives of Sacco & Vanzetti
by Rick Geary
9 editions published in 2011 in English and held by 750 WorldCat member libraries worldwide "The fourth entry in Geary's chronicling of famous XXth century murders tackles the extremely controversial case of Italian immigrants Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Geary delves into his most political case yet in this series, however, all his favorite elements are there: the murders are unsolved, the attention of the media is tremendous, there are multiple theories as to what really happened. What's unusual about this particular event is how this polarized and galvanized the world. A possibly biased judge they could never get rid of no matter how many appeals, thanks to Massachusetts law, and a prevailing attitude, especially among the ruling elite, about eradicating anarchists and communists, may have contributed to what many decried as a monkey court trial. Many pieces of evidence were inconclusive, much testimony questionable. Riots erupted all over the world. They lived in a time when class differences were at a raw edge worldwide, the US included, and this struck far too many as more evidence of repression by the ruling elite. In this volume, we are not dealing with some outlandish fait divers but a clash of classes and a justice system that may have failed to treat these men with any equanimity. The tension throughout the book is palpable as a result"--Publisher's wbe site

Heterospin Junctions in Zigzag-Edged Graphene Nanoribbons
Received: 16 June 2014 / Revised: 25 July 2014 / Accepted: 28 July 2014 / Published: 18 August 2014

Abstract: We propose a graphene nanoribbon-based heterojunction, where a defect-free interface separates two zigzag graphene nanoribbons prepared in opposite antiferromagnetic spin configurations. This heterospin junction is found to allow the redirecting of low-energy electrons from one edge to the other. The basic scattering mechanisms and their relation to the system's geometry are investigated through a combination of Landauer–Green's function and the S-matrix and eigen-channel methods within a tight-binding + Hubbard model validated with density functional theory. The findings demonstrate the possibility of using zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons (zGNRs) in complex networks where current can be transmitted across the entire system, instead of following the shortest paths along connected edges belonging to the same sub-lattice.

Ryoko (Rio for short) is new to adult modeling but has appeared on Chan many times and has quite a large fan following already. She is excited to follow in the footsteps of her good friend Bailey Jay as they both started on Chan. Rio is a versatile top who dates genetic females but fantasizes about a man taking her virgin ass! She is a great girl and I look forward to working with her again. She will definitely have an impact on the niche!

Today, Germany is recognized as a leading industrialized nation with a stable democracy. But despite the country's Holocaust memorials and reparations, anti-Semitism—along with racism and neo-Nazi ideology—has remained part of German society since 1945.These circumstances are at the heart of "Germany After 1945: A Society Confronts Anti-Semitism, Racism and Neo-Nazism," a traveling exhibition that is making its U.S. debut at Baruch College of The City University of New York.
Created by the Berlin-based Amadeu Antonio Foundation, the exhibit is a compact survey comprising 16 panels of text, photographs and other illustrations. The panels progress thematically and across time, depicting incidents of anti-Semitism and racism in West Germany, East Germany and United Germany.
At a launch event held at Baruch College on April 17, Andrés Nader, who directs the Regional Center for Education, Integration and Democracy in Berlin and is one of the scholars who assembled the exhibition, noted that each of the topics easily merits a full book. But this exhibition is designed to travel; its purpose is more to stimulate awareness and discussion than to provide comprehensive accounts or solutions.
To that end, the exhibition presents an array of troubling statistics and stories. It takes as its starting point the fact that neo-Nazis have killed over 180 people in Germany since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. One 2007 photograph shows spray-painted swastikas and slogans such as "Sieg Heil" on the walls of Jewish kindergarten in Berlin. The visitor's attention is also drawn to the story of the man for whom the foundation is named: "On the evening of 24th November 1990, a group of local white youths carrying baseball bats went through [the town of Eberswalde] looking to 'beat up some Blacks.' They found Amadeu Antonio, a Black man from Angola who had been living [in Eberswalde] as a contract worker since 1987. They beat him until he fell into a coma....Amadeu Antonio died from the beating on December 6th. There were reports about the murder in the national media, but the local press downplayed the incident...."
Part of the exhibition's message is that efforts have indeed been made to confront incidents of prejudice and hate crimes. But equally evident is the argument that in Germany—as elsewhere—much work remains to be done.
"Germany After 1945: A Society Confronts Anti-Semitism, Racism and Neo-Nazism" is on display in the Baruch Performing Arts Center lobby, Lexington Ave. and 25th St., until May 13. Hours: 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, weekdays). The Amadeu Antonio Foundation has also published a complementary exhibition catalog.
New Yorker Erika Dreifus is the author of "Quiet Americans: Stories" (Last Light Studio).

The location is great, rooms large, free wifi, the breakfast was very good!
The front desk staff were cold, unhelpful and did not apologize when they were wrong. I had to go up to my room, pull up my Booking.com reservation, then call them for the registration number between your facility and them to find the second room registration. The gal would not look any further for the second room then told us there were no more rooms then found one and told me we could not pay cash and my credit card had a hold of $150 which it did not. Hard to explain, but I'm still angry about this gal. She should not be out in the public welcoming weary travelers!
Great location! We got off airplane rented a car and drove right to the Double Tree. Dinner was walking distance and we took off in the am for our adventure!
Location, helpfulness of staff, value for money
The staff was extrimely pleasant and helpful. Well equiped business center, they are well prepared to assist visitors whose luggage was delayed.
It is just 1 mile from rental car return. If you have earlier flight , I would recommend this hotel to stay
Appreciated complimentary shuttle service to and from airport. Proximity to airport is excellent. Will definitely stay here again when transitioning thru Vegas.
Unfortunately service in the adjoining dining room/restaurant left much to be desired. The staff was desperately understaffed but was trying their best.
Warm cookies Location next to restaurant Frequency of transport to airport
No grab bars in bathroom
Hotel was good for a quick layover on my way to Zion National Park. Close to the airport with a free shuttle pick up. Very convenient for what I needed.
The hotel is a bit tired and outdated. Breakfast buffet was underwhelming.
Sean at the front desk was wonderful. Very professional and has great customer service.
good location for a visit to Las Vegas, not too far from the strip. quit neighbourhood. There is an applebees on the corner!
Our booking was not in the system, the office manager didn't trust us en even told us we made a false confermation. Luckely booking.com is even in the evening reachable, they did send the confirmation again and we could stay. During breakfast we had the same problem no one did believe we booked breakfast because this was nog in te system, we waited half an hour before they found out we did book (and pay!) the breakfast. The staff really was distrustfull, twice!
Good sized comfortable rooms, with pool, gym & coffee making facility in room.
The lack of info on cost of room for night for booking made with third party. This was not available at registration but subsequently appeared on tv screen in room, never known that scenario previously.
The service was unbelievable. They noticed, cared, followed up, made my stay personal and welcoming. The staff never missed an opportunity to make my stay perfect...from the very beginning whem the shuttle driver greeted me with a cold bottle of water to the end of me trip when a very early morning check out was completed by handing me a breakfast to go bag. Thank you everyone, well done.
The staff were all very very nice and genuinely trying to do a good job.
Their website says they are 10 minutes from airport and has a 24 hour shuttle. However, they do not tell you that the shuttle services 2 hotels that are on the opposite side of the airport. It took me 51 minutes to get to the hotel after a late night flight. I spent a lot more money going to this hotel thinking it would maximize the time I had to sleep since my flight was late coming in and my next flight was early in the morning. My room did not have any coffee in it. It had a coffee pot, but no coffee. The fan in my room was so loud that I couldn't run it. This was in Las Vegas in August!
We needed a place close to the airport, with a free shuttle and breakfast. Both were on time and the breakfast was among the best. Everything else was at least well above average. Short but enjoyable stay.
If we need just one night near the airport!
No water to drink, no fridge, need to pay to watch tv, food disguisting, need to register every time for the wifi.
The hotel is not far from the airport, and a reasonable distance from the strip. It is comfortable and the breakfast is good. Also, the welcome cookie is always appreciated.
There were hair everywhere... Next to the toilets, in the sink, on the floor near the bed... So much that I could actually see them. It is the first time this happened though in this establishment.
Great breakfast. Shuttle to airport was a great help.
everything was just perfect! Just note that the location will not be the best if you are looking for the crowd of the strip. Theres an apple bee rest near buy and thats it!

Catholic reform groups unite to petition Pope Francis
Open letter sent ahead of pope's meeting with cardinals
Picture: National Catholic Reporter/CNS/Tony Gentile/Reuters

- International
- September 20, 2013
About 100 church reform groups from around the world have teamed together to circulate a petition asking Pope Francis to give Catholic lay faithful an "effective voice" in church decision-making.
The petition, styled as an open letter to the pope, is being mailed to the Vatican Friday in hopes it can impact Francis' Oct. 1-3 meeting with a group of eight cardinals he has appointed to advise him on the reforming of church structures.
"It is out of a deep concern for the Catholic Church, in the face of its many crises, that we, representing millions of Catholics from around the world, have collaborated in writing this letter,"the writers begin.
"We are filled with hope that church governance will be discussed at your October meeting and we respectfully request that you give primary consideration to acknowledging the rights and responsibilities of the baptized to have a voice of influence in the decision-making of our Church."
Organizers of the petition told NCR Thursday they're sending copies directly to the pope, to each of the eight cardinals, and to the Vatican's apostolic nuncio, or ambassador, to the U.S.
A website dedicated to the effort lists the groups involved as coming from a dozen countries and representing a wide range of concerns about how the church functions.
"We are providing the unfiltered voice of the laity to the hierarchy, to the advisors and Pope Francis," said Janet Hauter, the chair of the U.S.-based group American Catholic Council, which is one of the signatories.
"We need to act swiftly so that commitments that might be made between Oct. 1 and Oct 3 are not set in stone before they hear what people are crying for," she said.

Ban the Burka in the UK
Responsible department: Home Office
We believe that the government should Ban the Burka.
According to a YouGov poll, 66% agreed with the statement 'the burqa should be banned in Britain'. (2011)
Why should the Burka be banned?
1) It's a threat to national security (the terrorist responsible for one of the 21/7 bombings was able to flee in a burka)
2) Fairness (we cant wear a motorcycle helmet or balaclava in a shop)
3) This is still officially a Christian country and it should not go out of its way to appease foreign ideologies. This isn't even just a religious symbol, considering some islamic countries have bans.
