Militants launched a brazen attack on Karachi's international airport, killing at least 27 people and seizing control of part of the airport in Pakistan's largest city for more than five hours.
The well-coordinated attack Sunday involved 10 assailants who were armed with grenades, rocket launchers and assault weapons, authorities said. Some of them were also said to be wearing suicide vests. They battled Pakistani security forces through the night before all the assailants were slain, officials said.
Several large fires broke out at the airport, but all airline passengers escaped unharmed, according to a Pakistani army spokesman.
But the siege, one of the worst security breaches at a Pakistani airport, is raising serious questions about the country's ability to protect its major transit hubs amid the persistent threat of terrorism.
The attack comes as Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the country's military have been considering a major offensive against the Pakistani Taliban, which has been waging a bloody insurgency.
"This act of terror is unforgivable," Khawaja Muhammad Asif, Pakistan's defence minister, told local television reporters. "The state will give an appropriate response to such cowardly acts of terror. Those who plan and those who execute the terrorist attacks will be defeated."
There was no immediate assertion of responsibility for the attack.
Rizwan Akhtar, the director general of paramilitary Rangers, said the attackers apparently were Uzbeks but authorities were still trying to determine their identities and nationalities.
At least some of the gunmen wore the uniforms of the Airport Security Force that protects the nation's airports, said an official who briefed journalists near the airport. He said all were strapped with explosives. He said that when a guard one of them, the explosives strapped to his body went off. The official said another attacker also blew up after being shot at by security forces.
It was unclear how such an assault could occur at what is supposed to be a heavily fortified airport. The attack, which began at 11pm (local time) and lasted until dawn, is likely to be another blow to Pakistan's efforts to lure international business to help its struggling economy.
"I would not want to send any nonmilitary, non-law-enforcement personnel into that area at this moment," Terrance Gainer, a security consultant and former chief of the US Capitol Police, said in an interview. He said US security and anti-terrorism officials would undoubtedly be scrutinising the attack to learn how it occurred.
According to preliminary information from Pakistani security officials, the attack began when about five assailants gained access to Jinnah International Airport, apparently shooting their way through a gate near the old terminal. At least five others entered separately; they may have blasted their way through a wall near the cargo area, officials said.
Amjad Shah, a Karachi police official, said at least some of the militants were wearing uniforms used by security forces.
Once inside, the militants began lobbing grenades and took up positions near the runway and in the airport's cargo area. One senior Pakistani intelligence official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss security issues, said some of the militants intended to hijack a plane but were unsuccessful.
All arriving flights were quickly diverted from the airport, which serves 6 million passengers annually. Three international flights were scheduled to leave between 11pm and 1 am, going to Sharjah, United Arab Emirates; Bangkok; and Dubai. But all passengers at the airport were evacuated safely, according to Major General Asim Saleem Bajwa, the spokesman for Pakistan's military and security agencies.
About 90 minutes after the attack began, hundreds of Pakistani army commandos arrived on the scene and began battling the militants.
Hospital officials said that at least 13 people were killed by the assailants — nine airport security personnel, a Pakistan International Airlines employee, a paramilitary Ranger, a police sub-inspector and an official with Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority.
About 5am Monday, Bajwa reported that the siege had ended after all the attackers were killed. Bajwa said that eight of them were shot and that two blew themselves up once cornered.
Earlier in the night, at least some of the militants had initially been searching for the airport's fuel storage facility, according to one security official. For much of the night, Pakistani television news stations aired footage of two-story-high flames shooting over the top of aircraft parked near the runway.
The Dawn News channel aired an interview with an airport employee who said he escaped from a maintenance shed by climbing onto the roof.
Abi Qaimkhani, a spokesman for the aviation authority, said that some planes had been hit by gunfire but that none caught fire.
The Karachi airport was expected to reopen around midday Monday.
Karachi is home to thousands of suspected Pakistani Taliban militants, which has made it once of Pakistan's most violent and volatile cities.
In recent days, security officials had warned of the likelihood of a major terrorist attack in Karachi in response to Pakistani military operations against insurgents in North Waziristan near the Afghan border.
Over the past two weeks, more than a dozen Pakistani soldiers have been killed in attacks near the border. In response, the army has launched airstrikes in the region and has stepped up its shelling of suspected militant strongholds inside Afghan territory. But the army has stopped short of a major ground assault on Taliban strongholds, which some Pakistani officials fear could lead to even more lethal attacks in Pakistani cities.
Jonah Blank, a senior political scientist at the Rand Corp., said in an emailed statement to reporters that the Taliban is most likely to blame for the attack.
But Pakistan is home to more than two dozen militant groups, including Al Qaeda, and Blank cautioned that "the list of potential culprits is long."
In a separate attack Sunday night, at least 20 Shiite pilgrims were killed in the western province of Baluchistan when two suicide bombers struck near the bus they were travelling in, officials said. The attack occurred near Pakistan's border with Iran.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional No. 60/025,924 filed Sep. 11, 1996.
This invention concerns a process for the preparation of a multilayer polymer film by feeding two or more films of molten polymer to rollers which oscillate along their axis with respect to another and whose surfaces are preferably slightly embossed, and wherein the temperature of the rollers is such that the film solidifies on one roller and forms a molten bead on the other roller. The resulting multilayer films have improved adhesion between layers.
Multilayer films are important items of commerce, being particularly useful in packaging, where differing properties offered by various polymers of the film layers are important to the overall functioning of the film in use. The most common method of forming films from thermoplastics is extrusion of the polymer through a film die, and multiple layer films are typically formed by extruding each polymer needed separately, and either joining the individual films in the die or just outside the die, or extruding the various layers through individual dies and then laminating the layers together, or some combination of the two. One concern in the formation of such multilayer films is the adhesion between various layers, particularly when adjacent layers are made from polymers that are unlike each other. Various solutions, such as the use of separate tie ("adhesive") layers have been used, but these involve extra expense. Therefore better methods of making multilayer films are desired.
When LCPs are extruded into films (singly or in multilayer structures), the polymer usually is highly oriented in the machine (extrusion) direction (MD), and is weak and brittle in the transverse direction (TD). Special methods have been developed to produce LCP films (or thin tubes which can be slit into films) with more balanced MD/TD properties, thus improving the TD properties of the film. However, such methods, which for instance are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,384,016, 4,820,466, 4,963,428, 4,966,807, 5,156,785, 5,248,305,288,529, 5,312,238, and 5,326,245 and G. W. Farrell, et al., Journal of Polymer Engineering, vol. 6, p. 263-289 (1986), usually require the use of intricate, expensive equipment which may be difficult to operate reliably, produce tubes which may not lay flat as films, and/or require labor intensive lay-up methods. One of these methods is moving in the TD an extrusion die surface which contacts the molten LCP. Thus better methods of preparing improved LCP films are needed.
This invention concerns, a process for the production of a multilayer thermoplastic film, comprising, feeding a molten first film of a first thermoplastic polymer and a molten second film of a second thermoplastic polymer to a pair of rollers which have a gap between them which is approximately equal to the total thickness of said first film and said second film, and passing said first film and said second film through said gap, provided that:
said rollers oscillate relative to one another and parallel to their rotational axis at a frequency of about 20 to about 200 Hz;
said rollers are at such a temperature or temperatures that said first film or said second film freezes against one roller, and on the other roller a rolling bank of molten polymer is formed;
and provided that at said temperature or temperatures and said frequency a multilayer thermoplastic film is formed.
FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing from the side, of an apparatus for carrying out the multilayer film forming process described herein. An extruder, 1, supplies molten first thermoplastic to slit die 2 from which issues a molten first thermoplastic film 3. A second extruder, 34, supplies molten second thermoplastic to slit die 35 from which issues a molten send thermoplastic film. These molten films, 3 and 36, fall vertically until they contact approximately simultaneously embossed surfaces 7 and 8 of rollers 5 and 6, respectively. Rolling bank 4 of thermoplastic is also present. Rollers 5 and 6 are driven in rotation in the directions shown. Multilayer film 9 exits the gap from between rollers 5 and 6, goes between (optional) cooling rollers 9 and 10, and is wound up on windup roll 11.
FIG. 2 shows the same rollers 5 and 6 and rolling bank 4 from the top, together with one method of oscillating the rollers 5 and 6 parallel to the axis (center line) of each of these rollers. Lever 9 is connected to a fixed point by pin 10, and to arms 13 and 14 by pins 19 and 20 respectively. The arms 13 and 14 are connected to rollers 5 and 6 respectively, through thrust bearings 15 and 16 respectively, allowing rollers 5 and 6 to rotate while being oscillated. Lever 9 contains slot 16 into which cam 17 is fitted. Motor 18 rotates cam 17 thereby causing lever 9 to oscillate approximately perpendicularly to the rotational axis of rollers 5 and 6. This causes 5 and 6 to oscillate in directions opposite to each other and parallel to their rotational axis.
FIG. 3 shows another method of oscillating rollers 5 and 6, and the view is the same as FIG. 2. Rollers 5 and 6 have extensions 21 and 22 respectively. Cams 23 and 24 contact extensions 21 and 22 respectively. Cams 23 and 24 are attached to shafts 33 and 32 respectively, which are driven by toothed belt or chain 25. The belt or chain 25 is driven by motor 26. Cams 23 and 24 are arranged so that they will oscillate rollers 5 and 6 in opposite directions. Springs (or their equivalent) 29 and 28 push against fixed points 30 and 31 respectively, and against rollers 5 and 6 respectively, thereby assuring that 21 and 22 ride against cams 23 and 24 respectively.
In all of the Figures, motors and drives for rotating the rollers 5 and 6 are not shown, and neither are supports or bearings for 5 and 6 (except for 15 and 16), or means for heating 5 and 6.
In FIG. 2, removal of one of the pins 19 or 20 would clearly cause only one of 5 or 6 to oscillate. Similarly, in FIG. 3, removal of one of cams 23 or 24 would cause oscillation of only one of rollers 5 and 6. Oscillation of only one roller is also useful in this invention, since the rollers are still oscillating with respect to one another parallel to their axis of rotation.
The polymers used herein are fed to the oscillating rollers in the form of molten films. By molten is meant the polymers are above their glass transition temperature and essentially free of crystallites (but still liquid crystalline in the case of an LCP). They will usually be above their melting point (if any). The molten films may be provided by any expedient means, for instance melting preexisting films and feeding them to the rolls, or more conveniently melting the polymers in individual extruders and extruding the polymers through separate ordinary film dies. It is most convenient to vertically extrude the films downward, so that they "fall" by gravity towards the rollers. Alternatively, the multilayer film may be extruded as a "single" entity by using the standard coextrusion method for making multilayer film, and the molten multilayer film fed to the oscillating rollers.
The rollers employed can preferably be heated (see below). The axis of rotation of both rollers will usually be parallel to each other, and the gross surface of each roller will usually be parallel to the axis of rotation of that roller, and at a constant distance from that axis. Typically the rollers will be of metal construction. For convenience the gap between the rollers should preferably be adjustable so that films or sheets of different thicknesses may be readily produced. The rollers are of course driven so that the molten polymers are drawn into the gap between the rollers. The speed of the rollers is preferably adjustable so that the rate that the multilayer film exits the rollers is preferably approximately equal to the total rate of molten polymers fed to the rollers, except as noted below. The rollers are both preferably the same diameter and/or are both driven at the same surface speed through the gap.
The surfaces of the rollers may be embossed with a pattern that is designed to put at least some transverse shear on the polymer as it goes through the nip of the rollers which are oscillating with respect to one another. The angle of the embossing with respect to the axis of oscillation should be greater than 0�. Generally speaking as this angle goes from 0� to 90� the amount of transverse shear imparted to the polymer film increases. Likewise, the deeper the embossing and/or the sharper the ridges of the embossing the greater the transverse shear imparted to the polymer film. Typical depths of embossing are about 0.02 to about 0.15 mm, but this of course is dependent on the angle of embossing and sharpness of the ridges. Useful embossing patterns are readily ascertainable with minimal experimentation by the artisan, and some useful patterns are described in the Examples.
The temperature of at least one the rollers should be such that the surface of the polymer which contacts that roller freezes or solidifies rapidly as the polymer film contacts that roller. This will normally be somewhere below the melting point of the polymer used, or if the polymer is amorphous at ambient temperature, below the glass transition temperature.
The temperature of the second roller is such that a relatively small rolling bank of polymer which is molten or at least mobile is formed in the nip on the second roller's side of the films as they enter the nip, and in the nip at least part of the polymer is molten or at least mobile. As the multilayer film exits the nip both surfaces are essentially solid, although some of the polymer in the interior of the film may yet be molten.
In addition, the temperature of the rollers should be below the point at which the film exiting the rollers sticks to the rollers. It has been found that at least in some cases both rollers may be at the same temperature. A suitable temperature range for each or both rollers is determined in part by the process conditions, such as the speed at which the rollers operate, the thickness of the film, the temperature of the polymers coming into the rollers, the tendency of the polymers to stick to the particular surface of the rollers used, and other factors. The operable temperature range for the rollers may be readily determined by minimal experimentation, and such temperatures are illustrated in the Examples. In actual operation, the temperature of the two rollers may be (nominally) the same or somewhat different.
Heating of the rollers can be accomplished by a number of methods known to the art, such as by hot oil or electrically. It is preferred that the roller temperatures can be controlled relatively accurately (e.g., within 1 to about 2� C.) so that uniform film may be produced.
Preferred total film thicknesses, both entering and exiting the rollers are about 0.02 to about 0.25 mm. Generally speaking tie layers will tend to be thinner than the layers they bind together.
The rollers are oscillated with respect to one another parallel to their axis of rotation. One or both rollers may actually move in this direction (oscillate), or just one roller may oscillate and the other may be fixed in this respect (but still rotate). It has been found that a frequency of oscillation of about 20 to about 200 Hz is a useful range, preferably about 30 to about 150, more preferably about 60 to about 100 Hz whether one or both rollers is actually moved. The amplitude of oscillation can be about 0.5 to about 8 mm, preferably about 1.5 to about 6 mm, this amplitude being the total motion of the two rollers with respect to each other parallel to their axis of rotation.
The multilayer film made herein has at least two layers, but may contain more than two layers. For each layer desired it is convenient to have a separate extruder and film die feeding a molten thermoplastic to the rollers, as illustrated in FIG. 1. These additional layers may be tie layers, or may have other purposes in being in the multilayer film, such as certain barrier properties, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, appearance, etc.
The thermoplastics used herein may be filled or otherwise mixed with ingredients normally found in thermoplastics, such as filler, reinforcing agents, dyes, pigments, antioxidants, antiozonants, lubricants, etc. Each layer may contain its own distinctive additive(s), or contain no additive at all.
Often when two different polymer are laminated together either when "solid" or in the molten state, after the laminating pressure is removed (and the polymers solidified if applicable) it is found that the adhesion of one polymer to the other is poor. It is believed in the art that the basic cause of this problem is that different polymers tend not to wet each other, resulting in weak bonds between them. To overcome this problem, adhesives have been developed bond different polymers together. In forming multilayer thermoplastic films by extrusion this adhesive often takes the form of a so-called tie layer, which is itself a polymer with improved adhesion to each of the polymers it will be bonding. To obtain improved adhesion to both polymers the tie layer typically is composed of a polymer which is similar in some way to each of the polymers to be adhered and/or contains functional groups which react with other groups in both polymers to be adhered.
However tie layers are expensive to include in multilayer films because their polymers tend to be expensive, and another layer must be extruded, making the process more complicated. It has been found that even without a tie layer the oscillating rolls increase the adhesion between two polymer layers. The reason for this is unclear, but it is suspected that the movement of the polymer in the roller nip may mix the polymers to an extent that they are somewhat physically interlocked at the polymer interface leading to a better bond between polymer layers.
It has also been found that if more improved adhesion is desired a tie layer may be a simple blend of the two polymer being adhered. This blend may be made by simply mixing the two polymers in the extruder which is used to form the film, but the blend is preferably made by melt blending the two polymers beforehand, as in a twin screw extruder. Although the use of this tie layer does require more equipment for the multilayer extrusion, the polymers in the tie layer are often relatively inexpensive, and they don't introduce more ingredients into the multilayer film, an important consideration when the film is to be used for food contact or medical purposes.
If the two polymers to be adhered are A and B, the weight ratio of A:B can be 1:99 to 99:1, preferably about 80:20 to about 20:80, more preferably about 65:35 to about 35:65.
The process of forming multilayer films with the oscillating rollers is particularly useful when at least one of the films is a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP). By an LCP is meant a polymer that is anisotropic when tested in the TOT Test described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,118,372. As mentioned above, when LCPs are extruded through a simple slit film die, they tend to be oriented in the machine (extrusion) direction (MD), which makes them weak in the transverse (perpendicular) direction (TD). As more and more transverse orientation is induced in the LCP, the physical properties in the transverse direction, such as tensile strength, tensile modulus and tensile strain to break will also increase. This increase is often, although not necessarily, at the expense of the machine direction properties. The oscillating rollers can be used to induce more TD orientation in the LCP layer.
Numerous variables may affect the degree of transverse orientation of the LCP in the final film. Among these are roller oscillation frequency, roller rotational speed, roller temperature, type of roller surface (for instance smooth or embossed), roller oscillation frequency, LCP melt temperature, LCP viscosity, and the film thickness.
It is believed that in many cases, as the following are increased, the TD orientation is affected as noted:
increasing roller oscillation frequency--increases TD orientation (up to a point)
increasing rotational roller speed--decreases TD orientation
increasing roller temperature--decreases TD orientation
increasing roller oscillation amplitude--increases TD orientation
increasing LCP melt temperature--decreases TD orientation
increasing LCP viscosity--increases TD orientation
increasing film thickness--decreases TD orientation
In addition, embossing affects the orientation of the resulting LCP film. A roller with a relatively smooth surface may be used, but in this instance the temperature must be controlled very closely, so that this viscosity of the LCP at the roller nip is quite high, but not so high as to prevent the polymer from passing between the rollers. If the rollers are embossed, such tight temperature control is not necessary. Generally speaking the deeper the embossing, or the closer to perpendicular to the oscillation direction the embossing is the embossing is, the more the LCP will be oriented in the TD. Also, if the embossed "lines" have steep walls, as opposed to gently sloping walls, the TD orientation will be increased.
One preferred form of embossing is a diamond knurled patter (see Roll C below), and a double diamond knurled pattern is especially preferred. By double diamond knurled is meant there are two independent diamond knurled patterns present, which leads to diamonds of different sizes embossed on the surface. Many of the above factors will be illustrated in the Examples.
The multilayer LCP films formed by this process have improved transverse direction properties compared to films that are extruded through a simple slit die. It is preferred that the maximum tensile strength in the TD is at least 50 percent of the maximum tensile strength in the MD, more preferably the TD is at least 75 percent of the maximum tensile strength in the MD. Similarly, it is preferred that the tensile strain at break in the TD is at least 50 percent of the strain at break in the MD, more preferably the TD is at least 75 percent of the tensile strain at break in the MD. Also it is preferred that the tensile modulus (Young's modulus) in the TD is at least 50 percent of the strain at break in the MD, more preferably the TD is at least 75 percent of the tensile modulus in the MD. In simple extrusion through a slit die, these properties are typically much better in the MD than the TD.
LCPs are notoriously difficult to adhere to other polymers, even other LCPs. However when the oscillating rollers are used improved adhesion of an LCP to another polymer has been found. This is especially true if a blend of the LCP and the other polymer to which it is to be bound is used as a tie layer. In this instance it is preferred that the weight ratio of LCP:other polymer is about 80:20 to about 20:80, preferably about 65:35 to about 35:65.
Any thermotropic LCP may be used in this process. Suitable thermotropic LCPs, for example, are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,991,013, 3,991,014 4,011,199, 4,048,148, 4,075,262, 4,083,829, 4,118,372, 4,122,070, 4,130,545, 4,153,779, 4,159,365, 4,161,470, 4,169,933, 4,184,996, 4,189,549, 4,219,461, 4,232,143, 4,232,144, 4,245,082, 4,256,624, 4,269,965, 4,272,625, 4,370,466, 4,383,105, 4,447,592, 4,522,974, 4,617,369, 4,664,972, 4,684,712, 4,727,129, 4,727,131, 4,728,714, 4,749,769, 4,762,907, 4,778,927, 4,816,555, 4,849,499, 4,851,496, 4,851,497, 4,857,626, 4,864,013, 4,868,278, 4,882,410, 4,923,947, 4,999,416, 5,015,721, 5,015,722, 5,025,082, 5,086,158, 5,102,935, 5,110,896, and 5,143,956, and European Patent Application 356,226. Useful thermotropic LCPs include polyesters, poly(ester-amides), poly(ester-imides), and polyazomethines. Preferred thermotropic LCPs are polyesters or poly(ester-amides), and it is especially preferred that the polyester or poly(ester-amide) is partly or fully aromatic.
After passing through the gap in the oscillating rollers the LCP film may be wound up. Before being wound up film may go through rolls which may accomplish other functions, such as cooling the film, or calendering the film to obtain a smoother surface.
The multilayer films described herein are useful in many applications, such as for packaging films, bottles and other containers, for encapsulating electronic components, and for use in heat exchangers.
Polymer A was a liquid crystalline polymer which was an aromatic polyester, and was a copolymer of (molar ratios in parentheses): 4,4'-biphenol(26.3)/hydroquinone(26.3)/1,6-hexanediamine(47.4)/terephthalic acid(36.8)/2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid(63.2)/4-hydroxybenzoic acid(89.5)/6-hydroxy-2-napthoic acid(36.8).
Polymer B was a nylon 6/Sclair� 11K1a /Fusabond� D226b /a functionalized synthetic rubberc (72.5/13.6/6.8/6.8 weight percent (a LLDPE available from Nova Chemicals, Calgary, Alberta, Canada; b A maleic anhydride grafted LLDPE available from E. I. duPont de Nemours & Co., Wilmington, Del. U.S.A.; c A maleic anhydride functionalized EPDM.)
Polymer C was a blend prepared in a twin screw extruder of 40 percent by weight of Polymer A and 60 percent by weight of Polymer B.
The apparatus used included a 3/4" (1.91 cm) Brabender (Type 2003, C. W. Brabender Instruments, Hackensack, N.J., U.S.A.), a 1" (2.54 cm) Wilmod extruder, and a 3.8 cm NRM extruder. Polymer A was extruded from the Wilmod extruder running at 45 rpm and the melt temperature was 280� C. Polymer B was extruded from the NRM extruder running at 20 rpm and at a melt temperature of 280� C. Polymer C was extruded from the Brabender extruder running at 60 rpm and with a melt temperature of 270� C. The output of each of these extruders was fed to 15.2 cm wide film die which was configured to handle three separate feeds. Polymers A and B were the outside layers and Polymer C was the inner layer.
The molten film fell by gravity on the oscillating rollers, which were arranged as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, except the 3 extruders fed the 3 polymer films to a single film die. The rollers were 8.9 cm in diameter and 20.3 cm wide, and the surfaces were faced with stainless steel which were embossed with a diamond or knurled pattern, about 50-75 m deep, with a 90� included angle for the sides, with the knurling lines at an angle of 30� to the axis of rotation of the roll. The rotational speeds of the rollers were manually controlled using a variable speed drive motor and was set so the surface speed of the rolls was 6 m/min. The rate of oscillation was also manually controlled by a variable speed drive motor and was 50 Hz, while the amplitude of oscillation could be varied by changing the cam 17, and was 1.3 mm. Each roller was individually heated by Calrod� electrical heaters, which were in turn automatically controlled by digital controllers. It is believed that the roller temperatures could be maintained to about �1� C., and the roller temperatures were 177� C. After passing through the oscillating rollers the film was passed through a set of cooling rolls and then rolled up on a roll.
In the beginning of the run, the speed of extrusion and rotation of the oscillating rollers were adjusted so that a rolling bank of the polymer built up on the oscillating rollers, and then the speed of the oscillating rollers was set as closely as possible to maintain a constant sized rolling bank. Occasionally some manual adjustments were needed.
In the resulting film, the Polymer A layer was about 0.051 mm thick, the Polymer B layer was about 0.10 mm thick and the Polymer C layer was about 0.051 mm thick.

'Psych' Debuts Sneak Peek of Musical Special
The long-awaited "Psych" musical has finally gotten an air date. At the San Diego Comic-Con, it's revealed that the two-hour special would hit the small screen Sunday, December 15 with guest appearances by musical vets Anthony Rapp and Barry Bostwick.
A first look at the said episode has also landed online via The Hollywood Reporter. It sees James Roday's Shawn and Dule Hill's Gus singing and dancing about solving cases under the Santa Barbara sky, joined by other members of the Santa Barbara Police Department.
In "Psych: The Musical", Shawn and Gus track down escaped playwright mad man named Z (Rapp), who six years earlier was deemed criminally insane after locking a critic in a back room of the theater that he burned to the ground. Shawn and Gus are forced to consult with the one person Z confided in while in the institution, a dangerous villain from Shawn's past.
Back to the Comic-Con panel, USA announced the winner of first ever "Psych" fan-vote contest to choose a storyline to feature in a season eight episode. The chosen episode, "A Nightmare on State Street", will find Gus entering dream therapy to understand the cause of his recent night terrors, but after therapy, nothing is as it seems. It will be directed by Roday and promises to deliver "a new vision in terror."
The eighth season of "Psych" will premiere this winter on USA Network. A new trailer for the upcoming installment has just been unveiled as well.

Any Irish pub worth its weight in Guinness can make a mean corned beef. It takes a special kind of visionary, however, to stack that corned beef on top of a towering American hamburger. Like most of its regular patrons, Croagh Patrick's Pub has a thick streak of green in its lineage. Willoughby's premier neighborhood hangout finds common ground between its Irish ancestry and its American present, creating such crossover dishes as Celtic egg rolls and the aforementioned Irish-American burger.

My Marriage Secrets
My husband and I have been living together for 49 years. Next year, we are going to celebrate our 50 years of successful marriage together with our children, grandchildren and close friends. Many are wondering as to how we were able to go this far, especially in today's time when only a few people believe in lasting love. Well, I am not sure if our marriage secrets would apply to every couple out there, but it worked for us so I am sharing them nonetheless. When we took our vows, we were pretty certain that there would be challenges ahead. But for our almost five decades of marriage, there was never a time that we let any of those challenges bring us down. In fact, we turned them into opportunities to become even stronger as a couple. At one stage we'd to go for a marriage counselling, just to have an expert advice and tips in order have a fulfilling relationship in future. This is where many couples fall short. Some couples are not strong enough to win their battles, because instead of fighting together they start blaming problems on each other. When you and your husband are faced with a challenge, blaming each other should never be an option. Remember that when you get married, you become life partners. Partners always work together.
Well, to be honest, love is not a single formula game. Its takes time effort and commitment to build up a relationship that will last a lifetime. Commitment is not just about thinking of doing something. It is about moving heaven and earth to do that which you vowed to do. It is not just finding time to do it, but making time to do it. It is about always putting your best foot forward and never letting anything get in the way of you achieving your goal. When I married my husband, we both promised each other that we were going to make our relationship work, no matter what may come.We even decided to go for marriage counselling if we needed For almost five decades, we have always made our relationship a top priority.
The next secret that I am going to share is very simple. Enjoy the company of each other. One of the many reasons why some marriages do not make it to a decade is because they give up when they feel that they have already lost the spark. Actually, it is not the spark that should dictate how long you should stay as a couple, keeping the fire burning is your task as a couple. The spark depends on the effort you exert to make your relationship work. Love is not about seeing if things will work, but about always choosing to make things work. Especially for couples who have been together for a long time, it is normal to feel the lack of excitement at times. But such feelings need not be permanent., there are so many ways by which you can still enjoy each other's company no matter how long you have been together. There are so many things to talk and laugh about, and so many things that you can do together. The more you feel bored about your relationship, the more you should choose to stick together.
Another marriage secret that every couple should learn is forgiveness. No married man or woman can claim that he or she has not done anything wrong in the course of their marriage. At some point, at least you or your husband will commit a mistake, and that's normal. The secret to ensuring that your relationship does not get stained is by forgiving and forgetting—always. Forgiving without forgetting is useless. When you forgive, learn to let go. And never hate your partner just because he committed a mistake. Do not let his mistakes define him, because the last thing you should do to your husband is to judge or criticize him. Remember that you have your own flaws, too. You should not expect him to be perfect because you are imperfect yourself.
Having been married for fifty long years, I cannot say that we are a perfect couple. Like all couples out there, we have also had our own share of ups and downs. But what made us as strong as we are today is our optimistic view of each other. The most successful marriages known are made by couples who think positive about each other. They are those couples whose partnerships are characterized by much affection and respect. They are those who recognize the need to demonstrate their love and appreciation for each other. Just because you have been together for so long doesn't mean that it is okay to be cold towards each other. In fact, the more you get old together, the more you should make each other feel beautiful and loved. It is truly inspiring to see couples who have survived decades together and have remained sweet towards each other, even as sweet as they were during their courting stage. They still go out on regular dates and plan surprises when there are special occasions to celebrate.
Perhaps the most important marriage secret that I am going to share is this–choose to love your partner despite of everything. You will never find a partner who shares exactly the same values as you do, but there is definitely someone out there who will make you feel home. In order to achieve a lasting marriage, it is important that you share a common goal as life partners, and you both strive to achieve that goal despite the occasional misunderstandings brought by your individual differences. Ever since I married my husband, I have discovered lots of things about him which I didn't know when we were still dating. Some of those are positive, while some are negative. But despite the negatives, I have always chosen to stick with him because nothing has ever been bigger than my love for him. We have always kept our eyes on our goal—to make our marriage successful and keep our families happy all the time. Knowing we're celebrating our 50th year next year, I think we're are on the right track.

Chandelier Creative celebrated the season with a gaudy ball.
What: For his annual holiday party, Richard Christiansen, the founder of the creative agency Chandelier, feted his staff with an over-the-top saints and sinners bash complete with a gospel choir, a flock of scantily clad angels, psychic confessionals, and sexy nuns serving up platters of White Castle fare. The party was co-hosted by Paddle 8, and guests were encouraged to bid on works the proceeds from which went to the Feed Foundation.
When: Friday, December 13th
Where: The party spread across three floors of the Angel Orensanz Center, and guests were invited to explore both the heavenly rafters of the Gothic synagogue and the hellish basement lounge where sexy devils served up cocktails and champagne. On the main floor, a sexy Santa held court over the proceedings from the comfort of a candy cane throne.
Who: Lauren Bush Lauren, Riccardo Tisci, Nick Wooster, Martha Stewart, and Lorenzo Martone joined Christiansen along with a congregation of spirited party-goers.
Why: Beefcake Santa doesn't care if you've been naughty or nice.Follow Us:

American Airlines has jumped into bed with Uber in order to create a service that's as "door to door" as the pair can make. The idea is that fliers who can afford not to take the airport shuttle will get a "seamless travel experience." For instance, if you're flying with AA, you can set a reminder for an Uber pickup the moment you buy your ticket. Then, when you land, the app will guide you through the terminal and point you to your nearest Uber pickup location. That is, assuming that you're landing at one of 11 locations in the US that AA has added maps to its app, which include Chicago O'Hare, Dallas Fort Worth or LAX. So, uh, good work on that one.This article by Daniel Cooper originally ran on Engadget, the definitive guide to this connected life.
American Airlines teams up with Uber for door to door travel
Buy an AA airline ticket and get a reminder to book an Uber to take you to the airport.

And when I hit the block I still, will kill!
And I don't want, nigga but I will if I got to, kill!
If niggas get to fuckin' around
[Verse 1: 50 Cent]
Respect come from admiration or fear
You can admire me or you can catch one in your wig
You see the Testarossa, the toasters right on my lap
So if a nigga get outta line, a nigga get clapped
I got an arsenal of infiltry, I'm built for this mentally
That's why I'm the general, I do what they pretend to do
Front on me now nigga I will be the end of you
Forget your enemies and think of what your friends'll do
I drop a bag off, then let a mag off
The Hecklar Koch should tear half of your ass off
I'm not for the games, I'm not for all the playin'
The hollow tips rain, when I unleash the pain
Get the message from my lines or get the message from the .9's
Paint a picture with words, you can see when I shine
Put my back on the wall nigga, watch me go for mine
I let 21 shots off at the same time, yeah!
[Chorus (Akon)]
[Verse 2: 50 Cent]
Where I'm from death is always in the air homie
Nanna love me so you know she say my prayers for me
I come creepin' through the hood wearin' Teflon
Hit the corners motherfuckers get left on
Niggas know if not they better check my background
Try and stick me, I'll fill your back with mac rounds
Ask Preme nigga 50 don't back down
I kick it funky like fiends in a crack house
Cross the line boy I'm gonna air your ass out
Screw your face at me, I wanna know what thats 'bout
Nigga I know you ain't mad, I done came up
And if you are, fuck you 'cause I ain't changed up
The O.G's wanna talk but I don't know these niggas
And I ain't did no business with 'em, I don't owe these niggas
A minute of my time, get it 'cause I grind
All across the globe like the worlds mine
[Chorus (Akon)]
[Verse 3: Akon]
Now tell me have you ever looked up in the distance
And seen a mac aimin' at your head man
Before you know it, life is flashin', reminiscing and your body is drippin' and full of lead man
I done been there (uh huh),
I done cocked that (uh huh),
It ain't ever been a question about that
Don't go there, you'll get cocked at, and if you plan to fuck around and rewrite that
You'll never catch me ridin' around on these streets, without a couple meta pieces under my feet
Fully automatic weapons and know it was done deeds
Smash up under the carpet like a Tennessee breeze, but 50 don't make me ride on these niggas
'cause I will kill, dip and hide on these niggas, 50 don't make me ride on these niggas
'cause I been long gone like the ripper, so..
[Chorus (Akon)]
