Overall rating
Morton has run out of ways to save the Thornton family estate from foreclosure, but when two antiques dealers show up and offer Morton a large sum of money for a particular antique chair, it looks like all may not be lost.
There is only one problem: Morton is in love with the chair.
With the foreclosure deadline closing in, how far will Morton go to defend his love for Yvette?
Sexual objectification takes on a whole new meaning in this farcical comedy when the object of sexual desire is, literally, an object. "Happily ever after" means something different when you can't legally get married. And sometimes autodidacts are the smartest people in the room.
If you have ever been annoyed by a love story, this show is for you.
What people are saying:
"The sharp writing in this comedy about two men — Morton and a pushy antique collector — who lust over the same chair for different reasons is a fun look at what people are willing to do for love." Pioneer Press
Five stars from Matthew Everett.
"[T]his wasn't just an enjoyable show for me -- it was inspiring, in the classical sense." (And you know "classical" is a big deal for p.a.b.l., amirite?) Philip Andrew Bennett Low

User reviews
Zany and enjoyable
by Justin Alexander Follow this reviewer
Rating 3 kitties
Yvette labors somewhat under the burden of her script, but she stands up well with the support of a dedicated and talented cast filling the play with life and passion.
The script suffers primarily from expositional excess, with "As You Already Know, Mort" dialogues and biographical monologues spilling from the characters' lips with ready abandon. It also suffers by creating a situation of high (albeit absurd) stakes, but then directly undercutting those stakes with a miraculous deus ex machina which conveniently obviates the need for any of the characters to make any sort of hard decision.
But where the show succeeds (and it does succeed) is in the performance: Everyone here is having a good time playing with each other, and the audience is invited to share in that passion and joy.
It might have been amazing with a few tweaks and a little polish on the script, but it is nevertheless a fun little show that sits pleasantly in the mind even as theatrical dusk turns to morning's reflection.

Irish is an artist of many gifts! One of the finest aspects of this production is that the supple diversity of the writing is supported and enhanced by the playwright's own directing--a great way to work. I really enjoyed it. This play would work well outside of the context of the Fringe Festival. Nice job!
A Chair By Any Other Name...
by Patrick Pfundstein Follow this reviewer
Rating 4 kitties
...probably would not smell so sweet as Yvette, which I liked quite a bit, though there were also some issues for me that held this back a little. A relationship is revealed/developed that is really nice, but which also reduces the titular furniture relationship's metaphorical level and thereby renders it far more sad (with tints of creepiness). Still, this new work grabbed my attention, and held it solidly throughout (something that is tougher to do after 25 shows in a week). I loved Isabel Nelson every time she was on stage, and the rest of the cast turns in great efforts as well. Yvette turned out to be one of those Fringe impulse stops that yielded a hidden (to me) gem!

Morton is a sad sack, but he adores Yvette - "chair-ishes" her. His mother is flighty, but his sister is clever enough to save the day. The covetous antique dealers were a delight to watch. Yvette is rather plain and has no lines, but she's a perfect McGuffin for this fable. The twisty ending has plenty of chuckles and head nods.

Ionesco meets Grey Gardens and beyond. Objectum sexuals are rarely portrayed in theater. A creative script, a unique topic and humorous show. Good to see gay characters that are woven into the script and aren't over-the-top stereo types. Well written, directed and acted. Go See.

A light, entertaining & well-done farce
by Derek Miller Follow this reviewer
Rating 4 kitties
Poor Morton. He has a terrible choice: lose the hosue that has been in his family for seven generations or lose his wife, Yvette. And his mother has decided the wife should go, since the price she brings will more than pay what's owed on the house. Did I forget to mention that Yvette is a chair? Yeah, Yvette is a chair. It's entirely ridiculous, slightly disturbing, somewhat embarrassing, and damn funny, too.
This play is a farce, and a good one at that. The acting is broad, the lines are big often and boldly ridiculous, yes, but that is the farcical style. What matters more is that the actors are deeply committed to their roles and perform them with precision and energy. Every member of this cast has great comic timing and the guts to completely fill out absurd characters with ridiculous needs. The thing that I appreciate most about this play is that the actors are not "trying to be funny," by doing whatever random weirdness comes to their heads. Rather, the cast pushes their characters wholeheartedly forward and honestly toward the things that they want. Really, the only difference between drama and comedy is that in a good comedy the stakes are higher and the characters fight even harder for their goals.
And no stakes could be higher than the battle between Morton Thornton (Michael Shannon O'Keefe) and obsessed antiques dealer Andrew (Joseph Bombard) over this much-desired piece of furniture. Patrick Kozicky, as the antique dealer's stuffy, buttoned-down "assistant," provides an incredible number of perfect asides and impeccably-timed bits. Isabel Nelson and Sara Olson shine as Morton's sister and mother, who scheme to help keep Yvette in the family, though, mostly for their own selfish purposes.
I do have some small quibbles with the show. It could stand to have a few minutes removed from its running time, a few clunker lines could be left out, and O'Keefe's lovable protrayal of Morton seems to have been forgotten by the playwright during the entire middle half of the play; but this is still a quite an enjoyable hour of theatre, and the best play about a guy who falls in love with a chair that I have ever seen.

The acting was a little broad for my taste - and the script a little lightweight - but Yvette is still an enjoyable show and a great way to spend an hour!

"Yvette" is a fine time at The Fringe. The play is quick-witted, well-written and wonderfully directed by Gemma Irish. The cast is hilarious. There are several unexpected twists in the plot. All-in-all, "Yvette" makes for a lot of fun.

I just saw this show on Sunday afternoon (along with 5 others) and I must say - every thing about this production is spot on! The comedic timing is fabulous, the cast is brilliantly entertaining and talented - no "over-acting", very believable and charming. And, the writing is beyond clever. I did not want to this show to end. This production ought to be the highlight of the Fringe this year!

When a Chair is Not Just a Chair
by Sharon Larson Follow this reviewer
Rating 5 kitties
We drove in from Illinois for the Minnesota Fringe and YVETTE was at the top of our list. This delightfully clever, superbly acted play works on so many levels, I wish I had time to see it again.
First level: Intimacy
The family in this show has three quirky members, all tied together by affection and dysfunction. The mother, yearning for a cigarette (and probably more than a cigarette), wants to save her family home by getting as much money as possible out of the antique dealers, whether or not the sale would harm her son. The daughter/sister, Madeline, long absent from the family, shows up just in time to support her brother, and put her nomadic experiences to good use. The brother, Mort, really just wants to watch the bees flit around the flowers and enjoy his one and only love. All the actors convinced me of their commitment to their characters--I was totally drawn in.
Another level: Buying and Selling
This aspect of the play was hilarious and profound. "The truest sign of respect is to sell..." or something like that, was a great line delivered by one of the antique dealers. The antique dealers' devotion to precious objects was spoofed beautifully, and the repetition of the name of the French book of hours that was so valuable was very funny in the deadpan way it was repeated.
Level Three: Capitalism and Love
This play works because the "cleverness" is supported by real issues. We so often confuse buying for love, commitment for purchase price, and intimacy for objects held on to. Because the play is funny and fast-paced, this message is not at all heavy handed. EXCELLENT JOB by all--Congratulations!
The chair rented from the Guthrie is a sad substitute for a "real" Louis XVI chair, which is kind of funny. The "book of hours" is way too small and well-bound to be a real book of hours. Thus one is reminded that imagination is powerful and can provide the needed leaps to fill in the details.

This was an interesting piece, a clever look at obsession. However, it never quite came together for me. It had cleverness, but very little heart. And I wish they had managed a slightly larger prop budget, it is a show about antiques after all.
Unexpected fun

We took this in after being shut out at "Bite Me," and enjoyed the quick-paced writing and the effective performances. There is a lot going on here that is not/cannot be very fullly developed in an hour (e.g., sibling relationships, atatchments to home, loneliness, absentee parenting, an underdeveloped human-human romance, trafficing in objects). But I left with the feeling that this could be workshopped into a more satisfying, less manic two-act piece.
I see the future.

I thought the actors were well suited to this light comedy. The script seemed so transparent to me, and I kept hoping that it would sway from it's predictable course. It was not to be.

Saw this today, and after reading the reviews had to respond "Unfortunately the writing and the acting both were just too broad and too cartoonish. For fetishists and people with an open spot on their Fringe schedule." Certainly do see it if you've gotten an open slot, I'll agree with that. But also see it if you've got a taste for a nice blend of silly and smart.
Before seeing Yvette I was complaining that most of the shows I've seen this fringe have felt like an episode on HBO or a sitcom. They've been well executed, but (like the year I saw a million one person shows talking about their childhood) I was getting a bit bored with watching people just like I see in my daily life. I can watch my friends bicker or flirt without buying a fringe button.
This show featured some heightened characters and plot twists, and I want to see the world a little larger than life when I go to the theater. Some nice use of language, actual awareness to being put on a round stage, and I have to single out Patrick Kozicky for portraying a charming character arch that kept me giggling and guessing. Check it out for yourself.

It was well-acted and directed. I thought it was good, but I was hoping for a little more thought-provocation. It did bring up the ideas of how we value things and each other. Worth seeing, but I think I was expecting something more. It was a good production.

Cute premise. Rich kid Morton is now bankrupt, and faces the loss of an antique chair that he loves. I mean, REALLY loves. Romantically. (Maybe he watched too much Electric Company as a kid and identified with the character Love of Chair.) Unfortunately the writing and the acting both were just too broad and too cartoonish. For fetishists and people with an open spot on their Fringe schedule.

With more than two years and 1,000 shows under its belt, Newsies will say goodbye to Broadway. The Disney musical is scheduled to close on Aug. 24 at the Nederlander Theatre. But it's not time to say so long for good — a national tour commences October 2014. The North American tour will visit cities across the U.S. and Canada beginning Oct. 11, 2014 and continuing through Aug. 16, 2015, with more dates likely to be announced.
Newsies on Broadway became a somewhat-unexpected hit for Disney. The company originally thought they would develop the musical for regional, stock, and amateur markets but were surprised when the musical fared well as a Broadway production. It was an especially welcome success, given that the original film version from 1992 didn't do well. In comparison, the Broadway version has racked up more than $100 million, while the movie version earned a mere $3 million.
See below for the production's upcomnig tour dates and visit the Newsies for more information on tickets.

Their tour will hit cities such as Chicago, L.A., Atlanta, New York, and Houston.
Celine Dion also has 31 shows going on sale for her Las Vegas residency, which is rumored to continue through 2019. Other big onsales this week include kid-friendly band The Wiggles; Broadway hits The Book of Mormon and Phantom of the Opera; and various WWE shows.

those graco snug rides seem to get pretty high marks for saftey and price. the good thing about those is that some strollers have clips or anchors so you can move the baby from the car right onto your stroller. but stroller adaptability is key. some strollers will only fit their own proprietary baskets/car seats.
my wife and i are in the same boat. she's expecting in december. we're trying to look around for gear.
i think we may go for one of those lighter strollers. any stroller that's kinda like the bugaboo is pretty heavy and big. a friend of our says it's a pain to keep breaking it down and fitting it into their trunk. apparently it's pretty tight and they have an altima.

Ahhh, a subject near and dear to my heart. Car seats. As someone in the thick of it ( I have a two year old daughter and a 10 week old son), I have some experience. First off, congrats on the upcoming child. It's an experience that changes everything, all the cliches are true, the hardest job you'll ever love.
We have a TSX and an XC70. Our car seats fit ok in both, not perfect, but fine overall. The baby rides in a Graco Snugride with a base and matching stroller, while the toddler rides in a Britax Roundabout. These are common and frequently chosen seats, and for good reason. They work well, perform well in crash tests and have proven reliability, just like a Honda.
Using a travel system like the Graco is great, the penalty is bulk and weight. With a newborn, the Snugride is invaluable. The baby is often asleep and you do not want to have to unclip him/her everytime you get into/out of the car. If you clip in at home and go shopping at numerous stores, this is huge. The baby can stay in the car seat, you unclip it from the base, put the seat on the top of a shopping carriage (don't worry, they fit fine and are stable) or the matching stroller, and do your errands. If you have to unbuckle and rebuckle for every leg of the trip, you will hate life. Also, if you arrive home and the baby is asleep, you can just leave them in the seat. Both of my children sleep much of the night in the car seat, unbulckled of course. It is just more comfortable for them in the first few months. The upright position provides for better digestion=less gas=less crying=more sleep for you. We have a co-sleeper and a crib, the babies both prefer the car seat. We've tried every combination and position and just stick with what works. All babies are different, you'll have to see what works for you.
The Graco stroller that went with the Snugride, the Metrolite LE, is decent, but it's bulky and heavy. It will eat up trunk space, not as big a deal in the Volvo, more so in the TSX. We have a Combi stroller for the toddler and it's ok, much less weight and bulk, not as many features, somewhwere in between an umbrella stroller and the metrolite. Almost got a Chico, the only thing that held us back on the model we looked at was the overall length when folded. Too long to fit lengthwise along the narrow dimension of the trunk.
The other thing to think about is whether or not to use LATCH, if you have it on your car (TSX does). many guides say use the middle position, however no LATCH in middle only outboard. This requires you to use a LATCH connector for each outboard position. We did it, in fact our local FD installed it that way, it's just not recommneded. lots more to taslk about, no time right now, I can post more if you ewant more info. Just let me know. Good luck and congrats.

I currently have a Graco TurboBooster booster seat (with the back in place, for a 3 year old) behind the driver's seat, and a Graco SnugRide system (currently rear facing for a 5 month old) behind the passenger's seat. Rear facing is pretty much the worst case of space hogging, but my wife (5' 2") still fits fine in the front seat. I fit OK (5"6") in there, too, although my ideal position would be further back and more reclined than the current position. When the little one gets big enough that he can sit forward facing, then space will no longer be an issue. The only problem now is with the older kid (and later on, the younger one, too) is the bottoms of her shoes mucking up the back of the driver's seat. I've made covers to protect my seatbacks and that's no longer a problem. There are plenty of seatback protectors out there in stores, but none have them have fit or looked right to me. When buying seatback protectors, like seat covers, be wary that you may be inadvertently inpeding your side airbags.

I wish I could remember what I had, a Graco(?) travel system, it was handy for a whole 6ix months or so, then -- talk about disposable -- the seat was replaced by a Britax Roundabout. (Which I still have, with < 1 years use on it -- due to separation and divorce, it was a second seat for my Jeep. If you want to buy it used, PM me, I'll send you pics and make you a good deal.)
I am a confirmed Britax fan -- they seem to have the safest and best made of the seats.
The Graco stroller broke a little linch pin when, okay don't laugh, the ex rolled over it with the minivan. (NO, my daughter wasn't in it.) The tragedy was that to repair/replace this defective component, they wanted the whole thing shipped back to them, at a cost of $150-200. Buttheads.
Whatever "travel system" you get, get one with GOOD WHEELS. Little itty bitty hard wheels are a beach to get around with. Get big, rubber wheels, easier for curbs and bumps. Lotsa storage is good too. If you test drive in a store, take it down and walk with it for five minutes, to ensure the handle will be comfy.
Rather than give you second hand info, I'd suggest you get the online subscription to ConsumerReports.com, and check their ratings and reviews. For less than the price of dinner (for the family ), you can get dependable ratings on everything you're thinking of buying -- strollers, cribs (if you don't co-sleep, which I heartily recommend), toys, etc.
Some of these things you can buy used with confidence if it's not too old, too gross with old stains, or clearly been abused. Seats/strollers with easily washed covers are neat-o. Prices for some of this brand spanking new is obscene. ... Again, if you're interested in my old Britax, PM me.

We used the Graco MetroLite LE system and loved it. (Bought extra bases for each of our vehicles - being able to completely prep baby while still inside the house and just drop it into the base is priceless. Also nice being able to remove the baby from the car without waking it.) Nice and light weight and compact, for a system at least. We also used a Combi Citi stroller (capable as a system, but we only used it as a stoller) - works well for a very compact and light stroller, but I'm not sure it'd be sturdy enough as a system for my tastes.

First off, congrats on your upcomming arrival. Our son was born October 2005, at that time i had a 2004 TSX, my wife had a Volvo S60.
We went with the Peg Pliko P3 stroller and matching infant carrier with 2 LATCH ready bases, one per car. I really liked the Peg system, it fit well into both cars, but I always felt like the base was rocking too far back. There was a lev-o gauge on the base, and we were always in the green zone, but it was close.
The only argument I could make for not getting an infant carrier and only a carseat is this: The carrier gets linked to a base unit that uses the LATCH system which is great, but when you attach the actual carrier you do not hook up the rear facing tether anchor. So basically, the unit is stable side to side, but can easily rock front to back (if you were to get rear-ended, the carrier would slam against the back seat). If you were to get a carseat and have it rear-facing, you use the latch system and the tether anchor and the seat becomes much more stable. Like I said, we went with the base and carrier for all the reasons mentioned previously, but I do not think this is as stable of a set-up as a regular carseat.
Now we have a Britax roundabout in one car( my TL-S) and the Marathon in my wife's car (Rx330). I like the roundabout much better.
Random Comments: My wife is much happier in an SUV than her Volvo S60 or my old TSX. It is much easier to get the infant/toddler in an SUV than a car. A lot less bending and twisting in the SUV.
Good luck!

we had an Eddie Bauer Travel System and it would fit in the TSX without any problems.
we have a NAVI so the DVD box in the rear was an issue at first but we were able to get it in there after a few attempts of what directions to put it in and from there on out we were fine.

wife and I have the Graco set up, but I have the medium sized Graco stroller and that consumes my entire trunk! Well not all of it, but with the navi DVD hanging down it gets stuck in the front of the trunk. But the Graco works well, and when our child was a newborn it worked just fine on the middle hump, but now he's 7 months and likes to move around back there so the middle hump lets him slide a bit left or right, I am contemplating to put him in the back passenger seat instead of the middle hump.
What I can say though, is in a few months he's gettin a Recaro baby seat WOOT!!!!!! lol

When my son was an infant, we used a Graco Snugride base/infant seat and got a Graco Snugrider Frame Stroller rather than a travel system. The frame stroller has no seat itself, it only fits the snugride infant seat. This makes is much lighter and easier to fit in the car. Definitely recommended.
Now that my son is older, we use an Evenflo Titan car seat (CR rated it highly last year). It's definitely takes a lot of space rear-facing, but now that he's front facing life (and front-seat room) is much better. For a stroller we use an aluminum-framed Combi stroller that folds up small and is real light. Doesn't have much of a storage net down below, but rides pretty well.
The TSX is pretty flexible when it comes to car seats. You shouldn't have much issue.
Good luck.

Thanks for the input! I'm most concerned about space for the seat while rear-facing. I'm 5' 8", but long-legged, so have my seat set quite far back. My husband is 6' 3".
Anyone have experience with the Britax Companion (the infant-only Britax)?
I am pretty sure that we couldn't take a year of driving with one of the large Britaxes rear-facing. They are so big, it seems like our legroom would be miniscule.

Only my $0.02, but don't spend beaucoup Britax money on a infant seat. Get one of the travel systems as being able to move baby from car base to stroller base is a Big Plus.
Why: my own experience was that the infant seat was only good for Lillian for a few months. I have to remember that she was born big, 11 lbs, though. As you get closer to D-Day, you'll have some idea. Even though the infant seat was only used for a while, the stroller lasted longer, so the "travel system" was chosen based on stroller quality. The Britax took over when she outgrew the infant seat, and two of them (one for each vehicle, Mommy's and Daddy's) served until she was much older and ready for Parkway toddler booster, which is super.
I wouldn't pick either seat based on size and legroom left up front. A seat which "fits better" might not keep Baby at the right angle (Britaxes are adjustable.). Baby comes first. Get the best seat. If you visit www.britax,com, they have their manuals online you can double-check.
Are you getting the drift that I'm a Britax snob? They're not hard to put in, muther-luvving secure, and have some safety/protection features that other brands don't. I'm up to $0.04 now, aren't I?

Have any of you had a baby seat and a pet in the back? My dog already takes up the back seat, laying flat out. When we do have a child I'm wondering how we could fit both in there safely. I know there are some pet restraints but do they hold the dogs in so they can't reach over to the other side where the child is?

^^^^ Can you fold down the one seat and allow the pooch to stay in the trunk and poke his head out into the car cabin? I've done that before with our 80lb yellow lab....

we use the Chicco travel system. Its lime green and grey. The carseat is behind the passenger seat and it fits fine. We do have to move the passenger seat up a little.
We tried two other carseats (Viaggio and Safeseat) they were both too big for the back. You really had to move the seat up. My wife is 5'8 and she is fine in the passenger seat. I'm 6'0 and I feel like the passenger seat is a little closer to the dash then where I have the driver seat but just a smidge.
So the chicco works for us. Also the matching stroller fits in the trunk nicely. So the chicco system works in the TSX.

I'll recommend a Graco Snugride system...
Pros: Install a base in each vehicle and you'll never worry (until you change seats) if the seat is installed right. Every reinstallation is a chance to make a mistake. CR highly rates the system. Comfortable seats that kids love to fall asleep in.
Cons: Most rear facing Graco's will require installation behind passenger seat if the driver is over about 5' 4" or so, the passenger space left is usable by a 6' 0" rider, but not confortable over about 5' 4" due to leg room issues. Strollers for systems will consume the trunk, period. Most are only rated up to 22 to 25 pounds.
When moving up in weight class to a convertible seat, the Evenflo Titan and Triumph are both great choices and good values (about 130 and 90). Even better, as noted, forward facing is OK in the TSX...rear facing is just like the Snugride system.

Want to take Australia to the top three: Clarke
Speaking to AAP (Australian Associated Press), Clarke said, "It's an important series for us."
"We didn't have any success in the Test series so we want to turn that around.It's been a pretty long trip in the UK, so it'd be nice for us to go home on a high with winning the series. I think it's important I'm here with the team and performing and leading from the front. II want to want to see this one-day team back to where it belongs - at the top of the three."
Talking about staying on for the ODI series despite a grueling Ashes schedule, Clarke said, "It was a no-brainer for me if I wanted to stay here and play the one-dayers. I want to play every game I can for Australia.
"I'll prepare today, as I have done over the past few days, like I would if it was the first Test of the Ashes. It's just as important to me."
Clarke's back injury has always been a big concern for the Australians and the skipper has opted to lighten the load by staying out of the T20 format. He made it clear though, that he was going to be a part of the ODI side and that there were no issues in handling the strain. "I think it's obviously manageable," he said of his injury. "I feel as fit and strong as I have throughout my career. I can't see any reason why I can't continue to manage it and play for a lot longer in both forms of the game."
After losing the Ashes 3-0, Australia won a T20I against England and thumped Scotland by 200 runs, their only international wins in all formats of the game since the start of their tour to India in February this year.
The upcoming ODI series is also important for Shaun Marsh, Mitchell Johnson, and Matthew Wade who are looking to cement their position in a side sorely missing the services of Ponting and Hussey.
"The way to get selected in any team is to make runs or take wickets, it doesn't matter what form of game you're playing," Clarke said.
"I think the boys know that. Whatever the format, put runs on the board and selectors will be looking at you."

The partisan bickering in Washington continues, and Americans grow more disgusted by the day. Republicans who have been battling Obamacare for five years continue to fight it, even as polls show support for the Affordable Care Act is growing, as is discontent with the GOP.
President Barack Obama has stood firm against any further negotiations with the Republicans, who have refused to fund many government services, forcing a partial shutdown. It's a stalemate, and an indictment of our troubled political process.
People upset with the closure of Yellowstone, and the losses to area businesses, owners and employees, rallied at the East Gate Sunday. But that entrance would be closing about now anyway, so even if and when a compromise is hammered out in the Capitol, this month's tourism business is effectively lost.
Thumbs up to Gov. Matt Mead's decision not to have the state pay to open Yellowstone or Grand Teton National Park.
The federal government made that offer last week, but Mead said he was not inclined to accept it. We might feel differently if it was summer, and millions of people were waiting to get into the parks. But it makes little sense right now.
"Wyoming cannot bail out the federal government and we cannot spend state money to do the work of the federal government," said Renny MacKay, Mead's spokesman.
Thumbs up to First Bank of Wyoming for offering interest-free loans to furloughed federal workers.
The bank announced Thursday it had established a $1 million fund to provide for the loans. To apply, federal employees need to bring in a government paystub and ID. They will be obligated to pay the loan back when they return to work.
This is a wonderful example of neighbors reaching out to help neighbors during a difficult time. That's something Wyoming residents have always been able to bank on.
Thumbs down to the closure of Bank of the West in Powell.
While we understand a company has to make what decisions are in its best interests, we are of course disappointed to see downtown lose a business. It also forces bank customers to make a choice between moving their accounts to Cody, or switching to a different bank.
We don't wish to criticize Bank of the West or any of its employees. Certainly they would like to continue to work here. But it's still a shame.
Thumbs down to the nasty TV ad attacking Liz Cheney.
An outside group that calls itself the American Principles Fund placed a 30-second commercial on Wyoming stations criticizing, and distorting in a particularly slimy manner, Cheney's stance on gay marriage.
The Cheney camp quickly fired back a response, calling the ad "a dishonest smear" from an out-of-state group, and asked to have the ad pulled. Sen. Mike Enzi, the three-term incumbent Republican whom Cheney seeks to unseat, has disavowed any involvement with the ad, and we believe him.
In fact, despite her family's pro-gay marriage stance, Cheney's position on the issue is very similar to Enzi's. Neither supports gay marriage, but both feel partners should have many of the rights that couples in traditional marriages do.
What's distressing is the strident tone this TV ad brings to an already unpleasant race. Heaven help us if we have to endure another 10 months of this.
Thumbs up to the undefeated Powell Panther football team, which rolled past Worland Friday night during the Homecoming game.
This team is seeking its third straight state title, and the way they look this season, they have to be a heavy favorite to do exactly that.
We also say cheers for the Powell High School cross country teams, who hosted their sole home meet of the year Thursday, and are preparing this week for the conference meet in Cody, followed by the state meet in Sheridan on Oct. 26.
Run well, Panthers.

I worked from home on Thursday and Friday last week. By Friday afternoon, I was going stir crazy. I needed to talk to people. Hell. I just needed to be around people. I texted a few friends but each of them had plans already; I decided to go out by myself.
Going to a bar alone, especially on a Friday night, can be intimidating. I looked up a few bars online and found what looked to be a good choice. A fairly small bar/eatery with young, non-douchebag clientele. I'd been there once before and had a great cocktail and amazing food, of which most ingredients are made in-house (even the liquor). Before I could change my mind - read: chicken out - I headed out the door.
I arrived shortly after 6pm and took a seat at the (nearly empty) bar. After ordering a cocktail, I noticed that the other bartender (not the one who had served me) was crazy hot. A brown guy with an accent. Just my type! :) Of course, I had sat on the wrong end of the bar. Could I move to his side? No, that's way too obvious. Dammit.
Another girl came in and sat next to me. By this time, the bar had started to become more lively. Everyone had sat with one empty chair between them and I guess I looked less creepy than anyone else so she sat next to me. She must have been a regular because the hot bartender knew her. When he delivered her drink, he called her sweetheart. I want him to call me sweetheart. God, that accent.
Our eyes met a few times but he was working the other side of the bar. Le sigh.
They were raffling off a few bottles of liquor as part of some celebration. Between drawings, Bartender brought me a couple more tickets. That means he's interested, right? Or I just look really lonely/desperate. I still didn't win.
A group of three friends who are also regulars came in and sat next to me. The other chick had left by this point. (I was there for a while…) They also knew Bartender and we quickly started chatting. One of the guys was hitting on me, but he was funny so I rolled with it. Not super attractive but cool. I asked the girl what she knew about Bartender. She said he's recently single but a cool guy. He's bartending their wedding, coming up with some crazy new specialty drinks. I guess that makes him a mixologist? I don't know.
Bartender gave me more tickets. He did not give these other people any. He HAS to be interested. Right?! I can't seem that lame. Now I'm talking to people and having fun.
We were only able to say a few things to each other throughout the night. But I had to find some way to give him my number! Why not? I'd probably never see him again. Even if I went back to that bar, he's not likely to remember me. He sees hundreds of faces each week. But how? He wasn't my bartender. I couldn't just write my number on the bill (which I've done before).
I went to the bathroom as I was leaving and totally gave myself a pep talk in the mirror. Just do it. Don't think about it. What is he going to do? Point you out and laugh? No. Worst case scenario: he never calls. So what?
As I walked past the bar on my way out, I said his name. He looked up at me and smiled. I handed him one of the raffle tickets that I had written my name and number on and said "You should keep this one. It might be a winner." He said thanks and put it in his pocket, moving back to finish the drink he was making.
He actually texted me last night. He said that ticket was drawn later in the night so he has a bottle of bourbon for me. I guess I am a winner. I get a bottle of tasty liquor and we have a date tomorrow night.
Sometimes putting yourself out there works out pretty damn well. :)

Institutions of higher learning say that American high school graduates are not college-ready. How do we close the gap?
American high schools are producing graduates that are not able to complete globally. Where is the root of the problem?
Teachers who are not prepared to deliver 21st century learning;
Students who are not accepting the personal responsibility of school work;
Parents who are not pushing their children to succeed;
Curriculum that is outdated or ineffective;
Legislature that does not prioritize public education;
Universities and tech schools with unreachable and unmoving standards.
What's the solution to your perception of the shortcoming?
I'm a public school teacher and I'm most curious to see what individuals outside the profession of education believe.

Sep 26 2011: its simple buddy first your govt as far as i know just stop nosing in family let parents raise their children rather than bothering about kids being kicked by their parents. Parents won't kill their own children pls make ur govt understand that and this will solve most of the problems.. Americans are good learners but bad students but Asians or in particular Indians are the other way around :) its hard to make a good learner but to make a good student just a generation's flick for u guys..

Valet with Jewelry Storage 2 2
Very nice product... This is a very nice product. Assembly is easy and it looks like it came assembled. If I could have i would have given it 4 1/2 stars. The half star loss is for the plastic hole plugs instead of wood and the slight chips on the "legs" caused by the packaging. Nothing that a furniture touch-up pen couldn't fix. The first one came damaged and there was absolutely "no hassle" return and replacement. The first one was picked up the next day and a day later the second one arrived. August 22, 2014
The Best I have looked in several locations for a valet that would fit my needs and had no luck. I found this one on-line and it seemed to be just what I needed and once I received it I found that it was. The quality and value were fantastic and it was so easy to assemble. Thanks Improvements.

What is a Rice Cooker?
Quite simply, a rice cooker is a device that automatically cooks rice of various types. Before the advent of technology, if you wanted to cook the perfect rice on your own, you needed to monitor a pot carefully with water and heat to get the desired level of cooking. This doesn't seem like much, but factor in the many varieties of rice and you end up with a large amount of information to remember. This is why rice cookers were invented. It's also why you want to find the best rice cooker.
So which is the best rice cooker for you? The answer will vary depending on your needs. Some of them may be too large or small for your typical uses. Some of them may have far more features than you need, or may not do everything you want them to. The best rice cooker for you may not be the best rice cooker for someone else. You will need to learn about rice cooker features, extras and prices, and you will also need to read rice cooker review articles before you make your decision.
Features of Good Rice Cookers
Here are the most basic features you should look for in a rice cooker, depending on your needs.
A non-stick removable bowl and spoon, so your rice doesn't get stuck in the machine
An automatic or optional keep warm setting, so your rice never gets cold
A steaming basket if you want to steam vegetables while you cook your rice
Settings for different kinds of rice, like brown and long-grain white rice
Additionally, in order to find the best rice cooker for your home, you need to determine how much rice you need at a time. If you're constantly cooking rice in large batches, you may benefit from a larger model — 10 to 20 cups or more. If you only eat rice occasionally and you're only cooking for yourself and one or two other people, a much smaller cooker with under five cup capacity is more ideal.
Once you have determined the capacity of the rice cooker you want, and you know what the standard features you should look for are, you're able to start looking into the extras that are available. Often, the best rice cooker on the market has extra features to make it more attractive.
Extras Features
The most basic rice cooker does just that and nothing more. It will cook rice perfectly for you every time, but you won't be able to use it for anything else. More expensive, higher quality rice cookers have steaming functions for vegetables and other foods. Some of the higher-end rice cookers also have slow cooker functions, making them a versatile kitchen appliance instead of a mere rice cooker.
Mid to high-end rice cookers often cook with induction, allowing a more thorough and even cooking job. This is opposed to the standard electric steaming cookers, which may cook slightly unevenly.
Many good rice cookers offer a range of programmable options. If you eat rice every day and lead a busy life, it might be worth it to invest in a programmable rice cooker. This kind of cooker allows you to add uncooked rice and water to the machine in the morning. You set it to cook later in the day, and when you arrive home from work the rice is perfectly cooked waiting for you.
You will likely have the choice between a stainless steel cooking pot and a non-stick coated pot. Non-stick will be much easier to clean, but requires more care and will likely fail sooner. A stainless steel pot is harder to clean but lasts much longer.
The Best Rice Cooker Types
Low-end rice cookers are cheap to purchase, generally in the $20 range. These cookers offer a non-stick cooking bowl and a basic electric heating element. They have removable glass lids and the most basic programming functions available. You will be able to cook white or brown rice in them, and they may have a keep warm function for when the rice is cooked. They generally come in low capacity, around three to five cups. Mini rice cookers generally fall in this class of rice cookers. If you only eat rice occasionally and in small batches, these are the best rice cooker types for you.
Mid-tier rice cookers add to the functionality of the low-end rice cookers. They range in price from $40 to $80, depending on the additional features and brand. They also tend to be higher capacity, around four to ten cups of uncooked rice at a time. If you cook rice in large batches or want additional programming features, these are the types of cookers you should look for.
High-end rice cookers are large, elegant machines that serve many purposes in the kitchen. They can range anywhere from $70 to $200 in price, depending on what you what features you look for. Many of them are not just rice cookers, but pressure cookers, bread makers and canning machines as well. You can also find good, industrial sized rice cookers for those instances where you need to cook rice for a small army.
Picking the Best Rice Cooker for You
Selecting the best rice cooker for your needs is the key to successful rice cooker ownership. Look to your habits and determine how much rice you eat at a time. If you cook rice just for yourself, you probably don't need a ten cup capacity cooker. If you cook for yourself and your family, but don't eat rice very often, you probably don't need a cooker with a ton of fancy programming options.
On the other hand, if you cook rice for yourself and your family on a daily basis, it can be worth the investment to get a better, higher-quality rice cooker. You'll be able to cook more rice at a time, thoroughly, and keep it warm while the hectic schedule of family life delays dinnertime. You might even benefit from a multifunction cooker that can prepare a whole meal at once.

Who knows if Gabriel Garcia Marquez might have suspected it. "100 Years Of Solitude", his literary masterpiece, has inspired a fashion collection. It's called "Magical Realism", and is by Tata Christiane.
Tata Christiane is a fashion and costume label founded by Julie Bourgeois and Hanrigabriel. It offers both one-off and serial pieces, as well as costumes for theatre, concerts, movies and artistic installations.
The disturbed soul is a thing of beauty for Tata Christane. Absurd, decadent, excessive and extravagant. Playing on that fine line that separates elegance and kitsch, digging up ancient memories sewn together into sublime pieces covered by a veil of irony.
"Magical Realism" navigates in an ocean of inspirations. Starting from the idea connected to its title, "magical realism", coined for the first time in 1925 by Franz Roh to define a particular literary genre in which the magical elements blend with the realistic ones, creating something entirely new.
The walls in which the objective world is enclosed, collapse. All that remains is a "city of mirrors", as defined by Julie Bourgeois and visualized by Valquire Veljkovic in his own way, in the photo shoot. A mysterious labyrinth of subjectivity, with simulated emotions, a mix of motifs and textiles, feathers and frou-frou. In one expression, a fantastic "Magical Realism"

The market for enterprise servers is fierce, and with IT savings goals top of mind and the recent purchase of SUN by Oracle, many organizations are proactively developing strategies to modernization / consolidate legacy solutions.
In a recent press announcement, HP announced that the number of global companies replacing Sun and IBM systems with more flexible HP solutions offering a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) is rising. Alinean tools are consistently used by HP sales and partners to prove these TCO savings and drive competitive migrations / wins. To help prospects uncover opportunities and increase urgency for legacy consolidation / modernization, HP relies on the Alinean TCO sales tools to calculate prospect's current total cost of ownership illustrating the need for modernization / consolidation, and provide quantifiable savings analysis and third party proof / evidence of savings with HP solutions.
Using the Alinean TCO tool and specific customer consolidation opportunities over a three-year span, HP-UX 11i v3 running on HP Integrity BL870c was shown to deliver a 23 percent lower TCO than IBM AIX 6.1 running on IBM BladeCenter JS23.(1)
HP illustrated the value of consolidation / legacy upgrades with three examples of companies that have migrated and acheived significant savings and business value:
1) Kumho Tires, a leading South Korean tire manufacturer, needed to update its legacy IBM mainframe to support its growing business. "The existing mainframe-based system was inadequate to support the challenges faced in a rapidly changing business environment," said Seung-gook Cho, department head, Kumho Tires. "We examined and benchmarked major server vendors' products and selected the HP Integrity Superdome and HP-UX."
2) Bernalillo County, the most populous county in New Mexico, sought to substitute its mainframe environment with an infrastructure that could improve the reliability of its applications, maximize efficiencies and reduce costs. "When Bernalillo County needed to provide additional services to residents, we turned to HP to provide an infrastructure that could help us cut costs and implement applications faster," said Paul Roybal, chief information officer, Bernalillo County. "By deploying Integrity server blades with HP-UX, we decreased the number of physical servers, improved overall performance as well as reduced power and cooling requirements by 40 percent."
3) VTB Bank, one of Russia's largest banks, chose an HP-UX solution to upgrade its Sun servers running Solaris. The company migrated to HP Integrity Superdome and HP Integrity blade servers running HP-UX and was able to improve efficiency and facilitate service delivery. "HP Integrity Superdome is a highly scalable platform for mission-critical workloads – a platform that helps us maintain a common Oracle database, while consolidating the core banking systems of our branches," said Dmitry Nazipov, chief information officer, VTB Bank.
Migration tools and support by HP are touted to make the TCO savings acheivable with lower transition costs, providing significant ROI and payback. For each customer, HP uses the Alinean TCO analysis tools to validate and present these projections to frugal buyers.
With the incredible advancement in technologies year over year, modernization and consolidation can reap rewards for many legacy platforms. Migrating to HP to acheive these savings is one of many possible scenarios, and using our analysis tools, substantial savings could also be acheived from SUN and IBM solutions. In fact, both of these organizations also use Alinean tools to help validate savings and present business cases for modernization / consolidation. So why is HP stating superior migration results?
Frugal buyers need a reason to consider any project when budgets are so tight, and modernization / consolidation requires a substantial committment and investment.
We feel that part of HP's success is the result of a higher committment to proactively and more consistently diagnose customer opportunities and prove savings, return on investment and payback with Alinean value-based sales enablement tools.
The entire announcement can be viewed at: http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2010/100401xa.html

Banker John Delaney knew that Maryland's ruling Democrats had someone else in mind to become the state's next 6th District congressman.
But the 48-year-old multimillionaire from Potomac jumped into the race anyway. And despite early missteps, Delaney's campaign appears to be gaining momentum with just over a week to go before the April 3 Democratic primary.
In the past month, he has won endorsements from former President Bill Clinton and The Washington Post, among others. His campaign has reported raising more than $767,000 in donations this year — a significant haul for a congressional race.
He's put an additional $1.3 million of his own money into the campaign.
It was partly the sense that leading Maryland Democrats were backing state Sen. Rob Garagiola that prompted Delaney to run for the seat, which represents Western Maryland and portions of Frederick and Montgomery counties. Those who know Delaney say the risk he is taking — and the reason he's taking it — are consistent with the types of decisions he's made throughout his life.
"The notion that the party had already selected its candidate did inspire me," Delaney said. "Sometimes taking on the machine is as principled a notion as what you want to do."
Whoever wins the nomination will face Republican Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett in November, assuming the 10-term incumbent prevails in his own primary fight. The 6th District, which was redrawn last year by Democrats in Annapolis, is among a handful nationwide that will determine which party controls the House of Representatives.
Delaney, chairman of the Chevy Chase bank CapitalSource, has argued that his business credentials make him the best candidate to tackle unemployment. He has advocated for overhauling the nation's tax code, investing in infrastructure and creating a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
But he faces significant hurdles. Chief among them is that all of the state's most powerful unions are backing Garagiola. That union support could prove crucial to getting voters to the polls for what will likely be a low-turnout election.
"We really don't know anything about him," Terry Cavanagh, executive director of SEIU Maryland, said of Delaney. "He's an unknown."
The union endorsed Garagiola.
Delaney, who is married and has four daughters, grew up in a blue-collar New Jersey neighborhood in the shadow of Giants Stadium. He worked construction jobs with his father during summers and visited with friends whose first-generation grandparents from Italy and Poland lived in the basement and spent evenings cooking in the kitchen.
Good grades and a scholarship from his father's electricians union — a scholarship he often notes on the campaign trail — got him into Columbia University, where he studied biology. Unsettled by medicine as a career, he followed roommates to Georgetown Law, where he met his wife.
But Delaney gave up on the safety of a legal career and lept into business instead.
He bought a small health care company, retooled its operations, and sold it for a profit. In 1993, he co-founded HealthCare Financial Partners, a company that lent money to nursing homes and doctors. He took it public three years later, becoming the youngest CEO in the history of the New York Stock Exchange at age 32.
He made millions when he sold the company in 1999. Instead of walking away from work, he founded CapitalSource in 2000 and led it as CEO for nearly a decade. The commercial and retail bank, which had $8.3 billion in assets at the end of last year, makes loans to small and medium-sized businesses.
Despite Delaney's intense pace — he carries three BlackBerry devices — friends describe him as remarkably detail oriented, both at work and in his relationships.
David Bradley, chairman and owner of Atlantic Media, which includes The Atlantic magazine, describes how Delaney once found him rummaging in the kitchen at a party in search of an iced tea. Now, Delaney personally delivers one without being asked whenever they're together at a party.
"John is tribal in his affections," Bradley said.
