LAHORE, Pakistan — The Pakistani textile industry is on the verge of a national shutdown to protest the country’s energy and interest rate policies.

The All Pakistan Textile Mills Association has called an extraordinary general meeting of all its regional offices countrywide on Friday to gain consensus for, as advertised in a local newspaper, the “immediate and orderly closure” of the country’s textile sector.

The reasons for the shutdown are given as the nonavailability of electricity and gas andhigh energy prices despite the steep decline in global oil and natural gas prices. -- Leonard Fujiyama, Glamwire Internetional

The set: Two skiers are doing some holiday skiing. They are driving around Vermont in a snow storm, and settle in for the night at a Holiday Inn that used to be a large working farmhouse, in Chester, Vermont. It is Christmas Eve....They watch Holiday Inn that night, starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire....and then they engage in Dialogue by a crackling fire over glasses of Harvey's Bristol Creme.

Andy: Okay, this may the first year in history I can finally say I've seen "Holiday Inn" one 2 many times.

Amy: Still a classic. Still a classic. There are very few American holiday stories that are classics....and this is one.
