"Nancy Pelosi and national Democrats are scared of Andy Tobin because they know he's the one conservative Republican that can beat liberal Ann Kirkpatrick this November," said MSA Chief Operations Officer Sarah Chamberlain. "Tobin has been a consistent conservative leader and we are proud to remind Arizonans of his strong record fighting for their values."
MSA Radio Ad – "Scared"
"Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Eric Holder are scared.
"They know there's only one battle-tested Conservative candidate strong enough to fight their liberal agenda and defeat their liberal puppet, Ann Kirkpatrick.
That Conservative, is Andy Tobin. A proven Conservative leader who led the fight against ObamaCare in Arizona.
"Andy Tobin passed the largest tax cuts in Arizona history. Tobin has a 100% "A" rating from the NRA, and will fight to secure our border. He's the only candidate who voted for SB 1070. No amnesty. That's why Mitt Romney and Senator Jon Kyl endorse Andy Tobin. That's also why Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Eric Holder fear him. And THAT's why we need to vote for Conservative Andy Tobin this Tuesday August 26th.

"Vocabulary.com defines a grifter as: A grifter is a con artist—someone who swindles people out of money through fraud. If there's one type of person you don't want to trust, it's a grifter: Someone who cheats someone out of money.
Historically, grifters have taken many shapes. They were the snake-oil salesmen who rolled into town promising a magical, cure-all elixir at a price. The grifter was long gone by the time people discovered the magical elixir was no more magical than water. They were the sideshow con men offering fantastic prizes in games that were rigged so that no one could actually win them. They were the Ponzi scheme operators who got rich promising fantastically high investment returns but returning nothing for those sorry investors at the bottom of the pyramid.
Over the last few years we have seen the rise of a new grifter—the political grifter. And the most important battle being waged today isn't the one about which party controls the House or the Senate, it's about who controls the Republican Party: the grifting wing or the governing wing."

"Throughout my time in Congress, and particularly since leaving the House of Representatives last year, the question I'm asked most often is some variation of "Just how bad is it really?" Frequently the question is answered before it is asked: "Congress is completely controlled by big money and special interests, isn't it? It's more partisan and dysfunctional than ever before, right?"
Public opinion polls affirm the general view that clearly underlies these questions: Congress is disconnected from the people. It is taken as axiomatic that ordinary citizens are unable to sway their representatives in Washington, that they are not listened to, that they do not count. The question "What's the secret to getting through to Congress?" is not unrelated to "Just how bad is it really?" Both indicate deep-seated negative views of Congress today.
How did we get here? For starters, the United States is large and tremendously diverse. Americans are opinionated and passionate. We have strong ideas about issues, we want our voices heard, we want results, and we want them now.
Further, we live in a nation founded in the aftermath of a revolt against tyranny. Our framers explicitly sought to ensure that no one individual, faction or institution could consolidate power. We have a Constitution that is, as one scholar put it, "an invitation to struggle."
All of this results in a cacophonous, unruly, multipolar democratic process. Congress, as the body that represents the people, is the institution that most closely resembles the fabric of our nation and all the views, aspirations, resentments and passions that come with it."
(Washington, DC) –Today, Main Street Advocacy took out a full page ad in Roll Call to "congratulate" the Club for Growth. "We want to congratulate our friends at the Club for Growth for a perfect political season," said former U.S. Rep. Steve LaTourette (R-OH), President of Main Street Advocacy. "Their Primary My Congressman campaign was a perfect 0 for 10!"
Every single member of Congress targeted by the Club for Growth in their much ballyhooed Primary My Congressman campaign was re-elected by Republican primary voters.
The ad congratulates the Club on joining the ranks of other notable perfects – like Don Larsen perfect game in the 1956 World Series, the Miami Dolphins perfect season in 1972 and the Indiana men's basketball team's perfect season in 1976.
"The Club's influence is based on a perception of their ability to bigfoot Republican primaries that no longer gels with reality," continued LaTourette. "Indeed, the biggest primary win over an incumbent this year – the Cantor race – was one where the Club didn't even play."
"Republican members should feel free to vote the way their head and district dictate, without fear of score cards, litmus tests and Club for Growth threats," concluded LaTourette. "The Emperor truly has no clothes."
Upon releasing the report, Chairman Upton commented, "We have a proud record of bipartisan results thus far in 2014. But our work continues as we advance our three primary goals of promoting job creation and economic growth, transforming Washington to create a smaller, modernized government for the innovation era, and protecting families, communities, and civic initiatives."
(Washington, D.C.) – Tonight, voters in Mississippi went to the polls in the runoff election between incumbent Senator Thad Cochran (R-MS) and Club for Growth supported State Senator Chris McDaniel (R-MS). Cochran defeated McDaniel in yet another voter rebuke of the Club and its candidates.
"Tonight was the Club for Growth's last chance to salvage an otherwise dreadful primary season for them," said former U.S. Rep. Steve LaTourette (R-OH), President of Main Street Advocacy. "As has been the case time and time again, however, it's another night and another loss for the Club for Growth."
Main Street spent $400,000 in Mississippi to aid in Senator Cochran's re-election efforts, $100,000 of that was spent on boots on the ground in between the primary and the runoff. "We are honored to have played a small part in returning a good man and a consistent conservative to Washington," continued LaTourette. "We know how important an effective ground game is in winning elections, which is why we put so much emphasis on it over the last few weeks."
"This year's elections have exposed just how disconnected the Club for Growth is from actual Republican primary voters," said LaTourette. "The most high profile primary win over an incumbent came in the defeat of Eric Cantor – the one race the Club wasn't involved in."]]>
(Washington, D.C.) – Last night, voters in Mississippi went to the polls to select their party's nominees for November. In Mississippi's 4th Congressional District, Republicans re-nominated Rep. Steve Palazzo (R-MS) – Palazzo had been a target of the Club for Growth's "PrimaryMyCongressman.com" campaign.
"Last night, once again confirms that the Emperor has no clothes," said former U.S. Rep. Steve LaTourette (R-OH), President of Main Street Advocacy. "This year, voters across the country have repudiated the Club for Growth in election after election."
Congressman Palazzo was one of ten members of Congress targeted by the Club for Growth as part of their "Primary My Congressman" campaign. "To date, the Club for Growth's perfect record is intact," continued LaTourette. "Every single member of Congress they have targeted as part of 'Primary My Congressman' who has faced the voters this primary season has been re-elected."
"The results from this year's primary season should liberate members of Congress to vote their conscience, to do what is in the best interest of their constituents, and ignore the scorecards and threats from special interest groups like the Club for Growth," concluded LaTourette. "This year's elections have exposed just how disconnected the Club for Growth is from actual Republican primary voters."]]>
Former U.S. Rep. Steve LaTourette (R-OH) – "The results in Idaho should liberate members of Congress to vote their conscience and ignore the scorecards and threats from special interest groups like the Club for Growth."
(Washington, D.C.) – Tonight, Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID) defeated Club for Growth-backed opponent Bryan Smith. "The results in Idaho should liberate members of Congress to vote their conscience and ignore the scorecards and threats from special interest groups like the Club for Growth," said former U.S. Rep. Steve LaTourette (R-OH), head of the Defending Main Street PAC.
The Defending Main Street PAC spent over $500,000 in support of Simpson's re-election – a direct response to the Club for Growth's decision to primary Rep. Simpson.
"The Club for Growth promised that they would defeat Mike Simpson, they said this election would send a 'chill down the spines' of other members of Congress – the only thing chilly was the reception by the voters to the Club's efforts to hijack elections," continued LaTourette. "This election proves that the Club for Growth's bark is worse than its bite."
"Mike Simpson's win tonight proves that it is the voters who wield the real power – not the self-important special interest groups like the Club for Growth," said LaTourette.
"Mike Simpson is a consistent conservative leader who has a demonstrated record of standing up for Idaho jobs and protecting the local economy – not even hundreds of thousands of dollars in dishonest campaign ads could convince the voters of Idaho otherwise," continued LaTourette.
Congressman Simpson was one of ten members of Congress targeted by the Club for Growth as part of their "Primary My Congressman" campaign. "To date, the Club for Growth's perfect record is intact," concluded LaTourette. "Every single member of Congress they have targeted as part of 'Primary My Congressman' who has faced the voters this primary season has been re-elected."
(Washington, DC) – Almost six months after U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore-Capito (R-WV) announced her bid for the U.S. Senate, and the Club for Growth immediately threatened to primary her, the Defending Main Street PAC congratulated Capito on winning the Republican nomination tonight.
"Shelley Moore-Capito has been a common-sense leader who has always put West Virginia first, and it's clear that fellow Republicans in her state recognize and greatly appreciate that," former U.S. Rep. Steve LaTourette (R-OH), President of Main Street said tonight. "Unlike some, Shelley has refused to be threatened by Washington special interest groups like the Club for Growth because she knows who she is, she knows who she's been elected to represent, and she's always been committed to doing what's right for her state. We have been proud to support her campaign for U.S. Senate from day one and are committed to helping her win in November."
Despite overwhelmingly evidence that Capito was the strongest Republican candidate to win back this important Senate seat from the Democrats, the Club for Growth led by former Rep. Chris Chocola, had immediately attacked and threatened to primary Capito when she announced last November – even before the national Democrats did.
"It's unfortunate that the first instinct of groups like the Club is to raise money by attacking fellow Republicans like Shelley Moore-Capito, but fortunately Republicans in West Virginia saw through their phony attacks and we will work to send her to the U.S. Senate in November," LaTourette concluded.
Recent polling shows Capito to be a strong favorite, and ahead by as much as 14 points in general election polling, as she prepares to face Democratic nominee and WV Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, who was heavily recruited by Democrats in Washington.

Straight blade pattern cuts left and right wide curves and power straight cuts.
Nominal Length 7"
Cut Lenght 1-3/4"
Tinner Snips - Forged Blades
If you care about the quality of the tools you use, you'll appreciate a company that cares about the quality of the tools it makes. At Midwest Tool and Cutlery Company, we take the time and effort to manufacture the very best tinner snips you can buy. You'll find that our snips perform better and last longer - from tips to grips - than any other brand.
The most important measure of a tinner snip is how it cuts - and how long it will cut. Our tinner snips significantly outlast those of other manufacturers. Performance tests conclude that Midwest Snips® Tinner Snips exceed 30,000 cycle test cuts without failure and without requiring blade adjustment. No other manufacturer's tinner snip reaches this standard.
Features and Benefits
Strongest, longest lasting blades
are hot-drop forged and heat treated for strength, durability and sharpness. The 7-in., 10-in. and 12-in. models - both straight and duckbill blade pattern - are forged of high carbon steel to produce a tough, long-lasting cutting edge. The 14-inch Combination Pattern Models and the 16-inch Bulldog Pattern Models are forged of molybdenum alloy steel resulting in an even tougher, stronger cutting edge that will cut through thicker materials and multiple layers of material.
Kush'n-Kote® comfort grips
provide a no-slip grip and comfort the user's hand.
Blades stay in adjustment longer
because a case hardened slab bolt is fitted through the bottom blade and secured with a special locknut. This feature keeps blades in adjustment for over 30,000 cycle test cuts.
Full-polish finish
provides a professional look and feel to our Made in USA tinner snips.

[I had problems uploading the pictures to my server last night. I'll do my best to get them online tomorrow.]
I flew out to L.A. to see my first USC game as an alumnus. Here are some of my notes:
Predictions Ringing True: The two things that impressed me the most about this year's spring scrimmage were the play-making abilities of our wide receivers and the exceptional talent of Stanley Havili. Months ago I was surprised to see the Turner, Ausburry, Havili, et. Al. playing at such a high level against our own defense; and I knew that this was a sign of good things to come.
Well, looks like those spring game performances were not aberrations. Even without Turner, our receivers looked solid and made excellent catches. And Havili made so many plays that I lost count going into the 3rd quarter. It feels really good to actually have a fullback, let alone one this good.
We don't need no stinking "feature back": The combination of Gable and Johnson worked excellently last night. As usual, C.J. was mostly featured in split/broken I-formations resulting in tosses and counters. Johnson got a fair share of gut plays and stretches.
The guys looked really good. C.J. didn't break many plays open but continued to be reliable all game. Also, it should be noted that tosses, sweeps, and counters are generally much tougher to execute than traditional run plays. Thus, we should expect to see Gable breaking more runs open as he and his blockers continue to work on the same plays. On the other hand, Stafon exploited Idaho's line-backing and secondary with pure athleticism. Watching Johnson run was extremely entertaining as he seemed very hard to tackle.
McKnight Flashes Some Brilliance: Golden Joe didn't get a great amount of touches during Saturday's game, but he did leave some distinct impressions.
First, McKnight made us all aware of his incredible (for his age) field vision with a long run that broke into Idaho territory. Great jukes, excellent allusiveness, and exceptional awareness of where his blockers are.
Second, it was refreshing to see #4 lining up at the slot during a handful of passing downs. He didn't pull any Bush-like highlights, but the prospect of someone with that much talent catching passes out of the backfield is mouth-watering.
Third, nobodies perfect. McKnight coughed up a ball which had no right hitting the turf. Hopefully he chalks that up to a learning experience.
And Finally,
Silence is Not Golden: At some point during the match everyone in the stands figured out that the Trojans were not taking this game seriously. You could tell exactly when that point was, because it occurred simultaneously with the entire coliseum going mute.
I've been to dozens of home games at USC, and none of them were nearly as comatose as Saturday's. Sam Baker said it best, ``Our tempo faded and we got lackadaisical..." [from Wolf's blog.]
But I honestly can't blame the players or the coaching staffs for pulling on the hand-break, since so many of our guys were dinged up and on the bench. The final score was indicative to the problems our team was facing: Chauncey Washington, Matt Spanos, Patrick Turner and Josh Pinkard (not to mention Brian Cushing's in-game injury) did not suit up for the game. Thus, I'm not going to throw any flack at PC for letting half of our 2nd team defense start most of the game.

Eggplant and chickpea stew! Very tasty and very easy!
Cut one large or several small eggplants into cubes, toss with salt and let drain over sink for 30 minutes. Rinse with cold water and dry on paper towels.
Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a deep pan. Add one large sliced onion, and three cloves chopped garlic, heat until softened and translucent.
Add one teaspoon cumin, one teaspoon coriander, and one teaspoon cinnamon to pan, stir to combine.
Add eggplant. Cook for five minutes.
Add one can diced tomatoes, and two cans drained chickpeas. Stir until combined, add salt and pepper to taste, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for twenty minutes.

WOW! I did NOT see this coming!
A grand jury indicted Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Friday for abusing the powers of his office by carrying out a threat to veto funding for state prosecutors investigating public corruption — making the possible 2016 presidential hopeful his state's first indicted governor in nearly a century.
A special prosecutor spent months calling witnesses and presenting evidence that Perry broke the law when he promised publicly to nix $7.5 million over two years for the public integrity unit, which is run by Travis County District Rosemary Lehmberg's office. Several top aides to the Republican governor appeared before grand jurors in Austin, including his deputy chief of staff, legislative director and general counsel. Mr. Perry himself wasn't called to testify.
He was indicted by an Austin grand jury on felony counts of abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant. Maximum punishment on the first charge is five to 99 years in prison. The second is two to 10 years.
Even if exonerated, this is the end of his presidential ambitions.

104.7 FM has long been the conservative talk station in Pittsburgh. Today, they changed their format to country music. Meanwhile, conservative talk was shipped to the former AM oldies station, WJAS. Is this a development on the state of talk radio? As an old radio hand, I've always felt the AM band was a much better fit for talk over music due to fidelity issues, but a number of years ago, talk was shifting from the AM band to the FM due to FM's better market penetration. If it is now shifting back, what does that mean? Is political talk radio played out?

Seems like most of the people in my town are OK with refugee children.
Sara Cuadra Berg, 42, of Fox Chapel applauded Holy Family's efforts. She came to the United States when she was 14 to escape war-torn Nicaragua. She was taken in by local nuns.
"I am the face of the children coming to this country ... This is your opportunity to say to a child, you are worthwhile," Cuadra Berg said.
"The good works of the Holy Family Institute and the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh have my full support," Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto said in a statement.
We've always been a nation of immigrants, most of our forebearers came here seeking refuge from war, poverty or discrimination. Immigrants make our country stronger, not weaker. They are an asset, not a liability.

My degree is in history. Specifically, US and English History, and I further specialized in military history.
Now that typed, my particular interest is in the American Civil War, and in my opinion, Robert E. Lee is perhaps the most overrated general in existence.
For one, he was fighting a defensive campaign in an era where technology far outstripped the tactics of the time. Rifles vrs. Napoleonic tactics gives the advantage to the defender.
Secondly, his greatest successes were against some rather timid Federal generals. And those successes were all tactical. Strategically, their impact was near nil.
Thirdly, every time he went on the strategic offensive, he had his ass handed to him. At Antietam in particular, McClellan should have ended the war THAT DAY, but he was too timid to strike the killing blow.
At Gettysburg, he made serious tactical and operational errors, allowing Meade to essentially defeat in detail every attack he mounted.
And finally, at the end of the day, he was, and remains, a goddamn traitor to his country.

Protesters outside hospital seek death penalty for perpetrator
- Image Credit: AP
- Women activists of India's main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party are stopped by police near the residence of ruling Congress party president Sonia Gandhi during a protest against the rape of a 5-year-old girl in New Delhi, India, Sunday, April 21, 2013. The girl was allegedly kidnapped, raped and tortured by a man and then left alone for two days in a locked room in India's capital.
New Delhi: A second suspect in the rape of a five-year-old girl in New Delhi has been arrested in Bihar, police said on Monday as the victim recovered in hospital.
The suspect Pradeep was arrested in the Badaiya area of the Lakhi Sarai district. Manoj Kumar, the prime suspect, has been in police custody since his arrest on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the girl who was brutally raped here is in "stable" condition after a surgery, and may not undergo any reconstructive surgery for now, a doctor said.
"Her condition is stable. She is recovering," D.K. Sharma, medical superintendent of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), told IANS on Sunday.
"There was a fresh medical evaluation of the girl's condition and she continues to be under observation," he said.
On whether the girl may need to undergo any reconstructive surgery as she suffered severe injuries to her private parts, Sharma said: "For now, no such surgery will be done on her. May be after couple of months... but we will have to see if there is a need."
Earlier on Sunday morning, giving details of the girl's overnight medical condition, Sharma had said that she was stable and "responding well to treatment".
"Her vital parameters are ok and she faces no threat to her life. She is alert and spoke to her parents and doctors," said the medical superintendent of AIIMS, adding that she had "mild fever".
Colostomy surgery
He said the girl, raped by her 22-year-old neighbour, had undergone "colostomy" surgery. This is a procedure to create an alternative route for stool to pass.
Asked if the girl understood what she had undergone, the doctor said that she was perhaps too young to understand what happened.
"I will not say she is scared, perhaps she is too young to understand the gravity of her condition," he said.
Meanwhile, protests continued on Sunday outside AIIMS, where around 30 people had assembled, demanding justice for the rape victim.
Holding placards, the demonstrators raised slogans like: "Damini ko nyaay do" [give justice to the girl] and "Naari ke samman mei, hum hai maidan mei" [we are in the field to protect the honour of women].
"We are demanding justice not just for this girl but for every other woman. The rapists should be ostracised and then hanged," said Abdul Hadi, a protester from Aligarh.
Vikas Tyagi, 30, a resident of Delhi, said the death penalty was the only way to stop rapes. "We demand that the culprit be hanged till death. Only then it will establish fear in the hearts of such people," he said.
Police, government blamed
"Both police and government are equally responsible for the incident. The police is corrupt, insensitive and listen only to their political masters. We seek police reform and action against erring police officials," said Sunil Kumar Arya, an Aam Aaadmi Party activist.
To enable easy entry and exit for patients and ambulances, police have barricaded the main entrance to AIIMS. On Saturday, many protesters had held protests outside the hospital and blocked movement of ambulances.
The five-year-old victim was transferred to the hospital on Friday evening. She was warded since Wednesday morning at the city's Swami Dyanand hospital after her family rescued her.
The girl had been abducted, sexually assaulted and tortured in captivity by her neighbour in east Delhi's Gandhi Nagar area.
A joint team of Delhi and Bihar Police succeeded in nabbing the accused, Manoj Kumar, from his in-laws' house in Chitkouna village in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district early on Saturday. He was flown to Delhi in a chartered plane and is being interrogated by police.

Rob Collard takes two podiums at Croft
12:00pm Monday 30th June 2014 in Sport By Graham Merry, Sports Reporter
NORTH Hampshire British Touring Car drivers Rob Collard and Nick Foster had mixed fortunes at Croft at the weekend.
Hook's Collard enjoyed his best day of the season as he collected two podiums including a second place in his final outing of the day.
This followed on from a fourth in race two for the e-bay Motors driver, after he spent the entire race on the rear bumper of Jason Plato.
He then came in fourth in race two, but after third placed man Matt Neal was disqualified, Collard's BMW was promoted to third.
He then completed an excellent day as he roared from seventh on the reverse gird in race three to finish second place.
Odiham's Nick Foster had a disaster in race one as contact on the first lap saw him forced into the pits.
This meant he started race two from the back of the 30 car grid, but did really well as he fought his way up to 13th.
In his final race he collected another top 10 finish as he came in seventh.
Collard excellent day saw himself maintain his fifth spot in the Championship, nine points behind fourth place man Plato.
The Championship is led by Collard's team mate Colin Turkington who won the first two races at Croft.
The BTCC now takes its summer break, with the next races at Snetterton on Sunday August 3.

Winchester man wins army award
4:00pm Thursday 27th March 2014 in News By Wesley Rock
A WINCHESTER man has been honoured by his colleagues as 'the soldiers' soldier'.
Rifleman Jack Osborne won an army award after finishing his recruit training.
The 20-year-old, from Weeke, completed the Combat Infantryman's Course at the Infantry Training Centre in Catterick, North Yorkshire.
Rifleman Osborne said: "Joining the army was a bit of an impulsive decision for me. I cannot even give a definitive reason why, I was looking to do something different and thought I would give it a go. Fortunately, I've ended up really enjoying the training," he said.
"The type of person I was studying sociology and ancient civilizations with at college is different to the kind of person I've met at Catterick. I've enjoyed getting on with everyone on the course and helped out where I thought I could. I suppose that's why I got this award.
"The one aspect that sticks out for me during the whole six months is that the instructors have all been on operations. They have seen and done it all, they are real role models."
His platoon commander, Captain Tom Hamblin, said: "This is awarded by the Riflemen themselves, they vote for who they think is the best soldier in the platoon, so this makes it a real pat on the back from his fellow recruits. I am sure he received this because of his selfless nature; he was always helping out behind the scenes and was the first to raise morale with his sense of humour when the going got tough. A well deserved accolade."
After two weeks' driver training Rifleman Osborne took some well-earned leave before joining his unit, the 4th Battalion The Rifles in Bulford.

Cabrillo Music Theatre Stages FOREVER PLAID, Now thru 2/9
Those heavenly voices are back! And they're better than ever! Cabrillo Music Theatre celebrates its 20th Anniversary Season by blending one of the original Plaids with four of musical theatre's top talents to create the definitive FOREVER PLAID especially for the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza! The fresh and funny FOREVER PLAID opens tonight, January 31st, 2014, playing until Sunday, February 9th, at the 1,800-seat Kavli Theatre at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, located at 2100 Thousand Oaks Boulevard in Thousand Oaks.
FOREVER PLAID is an enchanting musical entertainment that will cure all ailments, real or imagined. Once upon a time, there were four guys (Sparky, Smudge, Jinx and Frankie) who loved to sing. They rehearsed in the basement of Smudge's family's plumbing supply company. It was here they became "Forever Plaid." Although rock 'n' roll was racing down the fast lane like a candy apple "vette", they believed in their music. They devoted themselves to singing at nights and on weekends. Then, finally, they landed their first big gig at the Airport Hilton cocktail bar - The Fusel Lounge. On February 9th, 1964, en route to pick up their custom-made plaid tuxedos, they were slammed broadside by a school bus filled with eager Catholic teens. The teens were on their way to witness the Beatles make their U.S. television debut on the Ed Sullivan Show and miraculously escaped uninjured. The members of Forever Plaid were killed instantly. Through the Power of Harmony and the Expanding Holes in the Ozone Layer, in conjunction with the positions of the planets and all the astrotechincal stuff, they are allowed to come back to perform the show they never got to do in life.
Singing in the angelic, soft harmonies of the Four Freshmen, The Plaids essay a series of late '50's and '60's hits, from "Three Coins in the Fountain" to "Love is a Many Splendored Thing." They bring back the days when white cover groups possessing no soul at all would try to ape the encroaching sound of R&B, and other ethnic styles into pop. Their takes on ersatz R&B (a medley of "16 Tons" and "Chain Gang") and the kind of island music popularized by Harry Belafonte ("The Plaids Go Calypso!") are hilarious!
Cabrillo's all-new FOREVER PLAID shines with a cast of Southern California's finest performers, including Roger Befeler (National tours of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, LES MISERABLES, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA), Scott Dreier ("Scarecrow" in Cabrillo's THE WIZARD OF OZ), Jeffrey Scott Parsons (Cabrillo's YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN, 42ND STREET, SEVEN BRIDES, and others) and Kurtis Simmons (Regional star of LEGALLY BLONDE, JOSEPH, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS and more). All are experienced in the world of PLAID, and their combined talents make Cabrillo's FOREVER PLAID one for the ages.
Bringing Cabrillo's FOREVER PLAID to zany directorial life is original "Plaid," Larry Raben, returning winning an Ovation Award for Best Direction for Cabrillo's SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, and who can also be seen in the film version of FOREVER PLAID as "Sparky"! Alby Potts, also a Cabrillo Ovation Award-winner, returns as Musical Director. Overseeing the production are Kevin Traxler and Cabrillo's Artistic Director, Lewis Wilkenfeld.
"I'm so excited to bring the Plaids to Cabrillo's stage for our 20th Anniversary Season," says Wilkenfeld. "With the comedy and expertise of Director Larry Raben, and a hand-picked cast, Cabrillo's FOREVER PLAID will be Southern California's definitive production! This is the one to see!"
With timeless melodies that we remember forever...with comedy, wit, and a touch of heart... Cabrillo Music Theatre's FOREVER PLAID is a charmer for all generations! Continue celebrating Cabrillo's 20th Anniversary Season with this blast from the past, and dance holes in your soles with Cabrillo Music Theatre's all-new FOREVER PLAID at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza!

A Philippine flag flutters atop the control tower of a damaged airport after super Typhoon Haiyan battered Tacloban city, in the central Philippines. Haiyan is possibly the strongest typhoon ever to hit land. Romeo Ranoco/Reuters
The Philippine Red Cross is estimating that more than 1,200 people were killed in the coastal city of Tacloban and in Samar province when one of the strongest typhoons ever to make landfall slammed into the country, although the deaths have not yet been confirmed by the government.
Gwendolyn Pang, secretary-general of the Philippine Red Cross, said the numbers came from preliminary reports by Red Cross teams in Tacloban and Samar, among the most devastated areas hit by Typhoon Haiyan on Friday.
"An estimated more than 1,000 bodies were seen floating in Tacloban as reported by our Red Cross teams," she told Reuters. "In Samar, about 200 deaths. Validation is ongoing."
She said she expected a more exact number to emerge after a more precise counting of bodies on the ground in those regions.
Freelance reporter Dean Bernardo told CBC News that the Red Cross' estimate reflects raw data collected on the ground and includes people who may not be dead, but who are missing. The Philippine government's death toll, which is in the hundreds, is more conservative because it is following a process to confirm reported deaths.
Bernardo added that the Red Cross' estimate is possible because teams from the organization have visited municipal regions that have not yet been covered by the government.
Tacloban in ruins
Tacloban was in ruins Saturday, a day after being ravaged by one of the strongest typhoons on record, as horrified residents spoke of storm surges as high as trees and authorities said they were expecting a "very high number of fatalities."
At least 138 people were confirmed dead in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan. The typhoon slammed into six central Philippine islands on Friday, wiping away buildings and leveling seaside homes. At least 118 of the confirmed deaths were on hardest-hit Leyte Island, where Tacloban is located, said national disaster agency spokesman Maj. Reynaldo Balido.
But after arriving in Tacloban on Saturday, Interior Secretary Mar Roxas said it was too early to know how many people had died in the storm, which was heading toward Vietnam after moving away from the Philippines.
"The rescue operation is ongoing. We expect a very high number of fatalities as well as injured," Roxas said. "All systems, all vestiges of modern living — communications, power, water — all are down. Media is down, so there is no way to communicate with the people in a mass sort of way."
President Benigno Aquino III said the casualties "will be substantially more," but gave no figure or estimate. He said the government's priority was to restore power and communications in isolated areas to allow for the delivery of relief and medical assistance to victims.
The Philippine Red Cross and its partners were preparing for a major relief effort "because of the magnitude of the disaster," said the agency's chairman, Richard Gordon.
The airport in Tacloban, a city of 200,000 located about 580 kilometres southeast of Manila, looked like a muddy wasteland of debris Saturday, with crumpled tin roofs and upturned cars. The airport tower's glass windows were shattered, and air force helicopters were busy flying in and out at the start of relief operations.
"The devastation is, I don't have the words for it," Roxas said. "It's really horrific. It's a great human tragedy."
Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said Aquino was "speechless" when he told him of the devastation the typhoon had wrought in Tacloban.
"I told him all systems are down," Gazmin said. "There is no power, no water, nothing. People are desperate. They're looting."
U.S. Marine Col. Mike Wylie surveyed the damage in Tacloban prior to possible American assistance. "The storm surge came in fairly high and there is significant structural damage and trees blown over," said Wylie, who is a member of the U.S.-Philippines Military Assistance Group based in Manila.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement that America "stands ready to help."
The president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, said in a message to Aquino that the EC had sent a team to assist the Philippine authorities and that "we stand ready to contribute with urgent relief and assistance if so required in this hour of need."
A World Vision aid worker in the Philippines said Saturday it is launching its biggest relief effort ever in the region, mobilizing more than 500 local staff with hopes of reaching 1.2 million people.
"The work is not yet over for the hundreds of thousands of survivors. A massive relief effort is now underway to provide critical supplies like food and water," said Aaron Aspi from the province of Bohol.
Weather officials said Haiyan had sustained winds of 235 kilometres per hour, with gusts of 275 km/h, when it made landfall. By those measurements, Haiyan would be comparable to a strong Category 4 hurricane in the U.S., and nearly in the top category, a 5.
Hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons are the same, but have different names in different parts of the world.
Typhoon headed for Vietnam
The storm's sustained winds weakened Saturday to 163 km/h with stronger gusts as it blew farther away from the Philippines toward Vietnam.
Haiyan was forecast to hit central Vietnam's coast on Sunday afternoon, making its way to the northern part of the country before likely weakening to a tropical storm.
Vietnamese authorities in four central provinces were evacuating more than 500,000 people from high-risk areas to government buildings, schools and other concrete homes able to withstand strong winds.
"The evacuation is being conducted with urgency," disaster official Nguyen Thi Yen Linh said from central Danang City, where some 76,000 were being moved to safety.
Hundreds of thousands of others were being taken to shelters in the provinces of Quang Ngai, Quang Nam and Thua Thien Hue. Schools were closed and two deputy prime ministers were sent to the region to direct the preparations.
