Additional Notes
Complaint: SilverEdge used deliberately deceptive and false sales tactics to get me to sign a contract which ended up costing me thousands more than initially quoted for credit card processing services. Attempted countless times to revise my contract to get what was quoted me, or at least some additional relief, but to no avail. SilverEdge continues to fluctuate rates and damage my business and no longer even attempts to return my calls.
Desired Settlement: I just want the rate I was quoted -- no more than 2.75% (all told) for processing.
Business Response: Response regarding Complaint #******** – ****** ****** ********* ****. SilverEdge has and continues to work with Ms. ***** on matching costs to her business to provide the additional relief requested. Attached are the steps taken during the times we have been working with Ms. *****, as well as the agreement disclosures. During the initial sales process all fees and charges were disclosed and acknowledged based on her current estimated sales. Benefits discussed were the ability to accept EMV, employee timekeeping scheduling, and reporting provided with her processing system. SilverEdge makes every attempt to ensure its clients are happy with the services provided, and will continue to work with Ms. ***** with monthly contact.

Additional Notes
Complaint: We were told we could use credit card swipers to try them out and if we weren't happy with them we could give them back and not be charged. I have asked several times to stop being charged for the swipers and for someone to tell me where I can send them back to. I am still being charged and no one will answer me on where to return them to. I just want to stop doing business with this dishonest company.
Desired Settlement: Please stop charging us for the swipers and tell me where to send them. I just don't want to do business with this company anymore.
Business Response: SilverEdge contacted Ms. ********* and worked her to resolve outstanding concerns and provided a path to contact SilverEdge relationship management for any future questions. We will continue to work with Ms. ********* until all concerns have been resolved.
Billing/Collection Issues
Read Complaint Details
Additional Notes
Complaint: When making the original purchase of equipment and services from this company I was blatantly lied to. I was shown documents showing my credit card processing and equipment charges would be substantially lower than with my previous provider. When I received the first billing the rates were not only not lower but we're actually almost double the cost I was paying previously. When contacting customer service ( which has unfortunately had to happen on many occasions) the representatives are rude and very unhelpful.
Desired Settlement: I am hoping that since this company has entered into nothing short of fraud that they will merely refund ALL of my money and cancel any further contracting with me.
Business Response: SilverEdge has contacted our client and worked out a plan for each element in the complaint. SliverEdge has provided a guarantee to make sure that the sales promise will be kept and that we will be very proactive in ensuring exceptional experience going forward per SilevrEdge's core conviction of providing value.

Additional Notes
Complaint: Silver Edge Merchant Services contacted me about 6 months ago to setup a reseller and business account through their system. The sales rep I spoke with assured me that I wasn't under any obligation regarding canceling my account since I was setting up a reseller account as well.I have tried 4 times in the past few months for them to provide proof of the "online document" they required me to sign. There response was "we just have a copy of the printed paper signed and not the online document you were directed to to sign". I felt they could have transferred my signature anywhere on any document they have since it was a digital format and it was not clear that the pages listed explained any cancellation fee. I felt rushed through the process because there was nothing for me to worry about according to the sales rep.During each phone call every person I spoke to needed to speak to a supervisor and said they would get back with me regarding a solution. For those past 4 phone calls, they have not called back to provide the solution I'm looking for.
Desired Settlement: I would like for my account to be canceled and not charge for anything since the service was not used and the sign up was not clear or accurate "online documents". They still continued to bill me after explaining this.

Complaint: We were contacted by ****** ******** on July 23 2013 in regard to a point of sale system for your business. We did complete an application with Silveredge, but after completing and sending to ****** the company came back and said they priced the equipment wrong and it would cost us more. At that time I advised we were not longer interested and withdraw our application. Since that time I have received a call about delivering equipment, which I told them no way I did not want and would refuse the shipment. They did not ship any equipment. I figured that would take care of the problem. On 9/3/2013 there was an *** charge on my bank account for $44.90 after hours of phone calls I finally found out that Silveredge had charge my account a processing fee. Needless to say I was on the phone with them immediately. I was told by ****** that the person I needed to speak with would have to call me back, but that he knew the account was to have never been set up. As of yet I am still waiting for a call back. This company is very misleading and does not deserve a rating about a F- with the Better Business Bureau. I want them to guarantee they will not put any further charges on my account and that all our information has been destroyed. I have no trust at all for this company.
Desired Settlement: reverse the charge of $44.90 and cover the cost of putting a block against their company with our bank. That charge is $35.00
Business Response: We are happy to reverse the monthly service fee of $44.90 for this client. We value their business and would like to do all we can within reason to assist. We unfortunately will not refund the $35.00 "bank fee". It was this clients choice to put a block on their bank account.

Additional Notes
Complaint: SilverEdge was unable to provide the service they sold us In May 2013 a SilverEdge Sales Executive provided a merchant processing application and agreement to us assuring us that we would be able to process credit cards exactly as our current payment processor did. We signed the agreement only to find this was NOT the case. SilverEdge never provided any service, but continued to charge us a monthly service charge of $80.90. We were told there would be no set up fee, yet a set up fee and miscellaneous charges were deducted from our bank account in the amount of $105.90. We called to speak with a supervisor and were told these fees would be credited back to our bank account, which never happened. There was a $495.00 Early Termination Fee in the contract that we told SilverEdge we would pay after deducting the charges that should have been credited back previously. SilverEdge deducted the $495.00 minus one months service charge of $80.90 ($414.10)from out bank account without our permission.
Desired Settlement: We request a refund of the $105.90 that was originally charged and never credited and one months service charge of $80.90 for a total of $186.80. One months service charge of $80.90 was taken out of the $495.00 before the amount of $414.10 was charged on 07/12/13. As SilverEdge has never provided any processing service of any kind we believe this to be a very reasonable request
Business Response:
We are working to settle this matter directly with the merchant. To our knowledge, the merchant is satisfied and we have answered all questions in their entirety.
Billing/Collection Issues

Additional Notes
Complaint: A. I call you to explain my bill, and they can not give me an answer, and mysteriously the line disconnects.B. I cancel service and they add a PCI Compliant fee without any notice. Then charge me twice!C. Don't tell me that I need to cancel with *******.
Desired Settlement: I would like my fee's to be returned. I did not use their service once. I was however charged twice, incorrectly, in 2 months. I tried to call my rep, and could not be told a straight answer.The sales rep quit 2 weeks after signing me up, and was told the company is being run horribly. Every business should STAY away from Silver Edge.
Business Response:
Upon review of this merchant's account history, it appears we were in the midst of working our a resolution on 8/7/13 in regards to the billing the same day the complaint was filed. There was no further communication after we had informed the merchant of the charges. I have called Mr. ******** and left him a voicemail to discuss a resolution.

Nigerian president vows 'total war against terrorism'
May 29, 2014 - 14:09 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan said on Thursday, May 29, he had ordered "a full-scale operation to put an end to the impunity of terrorists on our soil," as he reassured parents of 219 schoolgirls being held by Boko Haram that his forces would free them, according to Reuters.
"I am determined to protect our democracy, our national unity and our political stability, by waging a total war against terrorism," Jonathan said in a televised speech to mark Democracy Day.
The phrase 'total war' was used by Chad's President Idriss Deby following a meeting of countries neighboring Nigeria held in Paris in mid-May, designed to define a common strategy to fight the Islamist group.
Jonathan also said he had authorized security forces to use "any means necessary under the law to ensure that this is done. I assure you ... that these thugs will be driven away. It will not happen overnight, but we will spare no effort to achieve this goal."
It was not clear what such an offensive could entail given that the northeast of the country plagued by Boko Haram insurgents has been under a state of emergency and a full scale military operation for a year - and Nigerian forces are stretched to breaking point.
"With the support of Nigerians, our neighbors and the international community, we will reinforce our defense, free our girls and rid Nigeria of terrorists," Jonathan said.
Top stories
Scores were wounded in at least five suicide attacks and two car bombs, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
A Syrian source said Aleppo was excluded from truces "because there are terrorists there who haven't stopped hitting the city."
The raid by U.S. special operators on a mission to kill or capture IS leaders, occurred in Iraq and targeted Suleiman Abd Shabib al-Jabouri.
Helicopter design and manufacturing company Russian Helicopters delivered as many as 212 aircraft to various customers in 2015.

Canaccord Founder Sells $31 Million Vancouver Mansion To Chinese Student
– Canaccord Founder Sells $31 Million Vancouver Mansion To Chinese Student:
Everybody loves a good Vancouver real estate horror story. Here is a great one.
In the endless series of reports about wealthy Chinese oligarchs, billionaires, money launderers, or mere criminals, never have we encountered anything quite like this yet, because according to The Province, the majority owner of this Point Grey mansion located at 4833 Belmont Avenue and which was recently ranked 16th among the most expensive homes in Vancouver, was sold earlier this year by Canaccord founder Peter Brown for a record $31.1 million is a "student," property records show. A Chinese "student"… of course.
Land title documents list Tian Yu Zhou as having a 99-per-cent interest in the five-bedroom, eight-bathroom, 14,600 square-foot mansion on a 1.7-acre lot at 4833 Belmont Ave. Zhou's occupation is listed as a "student." Continue reading »

It can be funny to see a couple of these shield stacked and not be able to connect a DB25 except for the topmost one :) May be in a future revision, a right angle DB25 connector at the end side of the board can help. Or are you aware of a very very low profile DB25 connector ?

I did it though, because it seemed a huge waste NOT to utilize this wall Continue Reading
Floating Shelves – Studio Closet
Cork Wall in Studio
I installed a cork wall in my studio while I was prepping for my barn door. It sounds 1000 times easier than it was but the end result is what I wanted and it's done now - so I'm happy with it! Continue Reading
Building a House for Shelby
Last Thursday I got to do something SUPER cool! I got to help frame a house with Lowe's and Habitat for Humanity as part of National Women Build Week. Lowe's and Habitat launched National Women Build Week by hosting Girls' Night Out events in 10 U.S. cities. Framing a house is not generally an act Continue Reading
Chippy Paint Technique on Studio Barn Door
Hanging my Chippy Paint barn door this week felt monumental! Perhaps because it was unnecessarily difficult on account of the instructions for the hardware lacking in the department of actually instructing, but I figured it out and made it happen. It's funny that I ended up with the chippy paint fi Continue Reading
Picture Ledge – Faux Reclaimed Beam
I've installed a picture ledge and some lights and now my studio "feature wall" is complete! It's a small success but I like to celebrate achievement - regardless of size. I built and finished the picture ledge to look like an old, reclaimed beam and I love it against the brick and plaster wall ba Continue Reading
Hiding HVAC equipment
When I was planning for my future office space in the loft, I added a little section of wall so I could move the thermostat and light switches. I also closed off 8" of the doorway into the closet. Stealing that 8" created useable wall space in the closet but I wasn't sure if I was done with that clo Continue Reading
White Painted Countertops and Cabinets
Hey guys! I wanted to share a craft room update because I've finished my white painted countertops and cabinets! I built these countertops many weeks ago because I needed them in place so I could build my angled cabinets. The countertops are a layer of MDF glued to a layer of plywood. The Continue Reading
Crown Moulding on Angled Ceiling
Installing Crown Moulding on Angled Ceiling in my studio was 100 times easier than I expected. Basically because I cheated. Well, I made it as easy as possible on myself anyway -- and it was so easy it feels like I somehow cheated. I was all prepared to pull out my Crown Moulding Templates to get Continue Reading
Building a Side Wall for End of Cabinets
After adding beadboard to my cabinet sides, it was time to tackle the crown moulding, I knew it was going to be a chore to figure out how to deal with the 1x5's that come down the angled ceiling and meet up with my cabinets. One of the 1x5's ended halfway overlapping my cabinet run. T Continue Reading
The Long Crawl
The following story is one of bravery and adventure...actually, it's about me building a cabinet. What's new? The mission? Fill this gap. It may seem like a simple task. It wasn't. The reason there is a gap here in the first place is because I wanted to space these cabinets far enough apart that Continue Reading
Add Beadboard Paneling to Cabinet Sides
Using beadboard paneling is an easy way to hide all those imperfections that are exposed when using the "quick and easy" method of building like I did with these cabinets. Quick and Easy building method: butt joints and screws driven in from the outside of the cabinet. In addition to the exposed s Continue Reading
Installing Decorative Trim in Faceframe Columns
All of the little details in this studio are killing my time frame. One of the details I'm adding is installing decorative trim in all of the faceframe columns. There are two, single sided columns in the upper cabinets and two three sided columns in the bottom cabinets at the end of the island. Continue Reading
Building Angled Cabinets
I'm building angled cabinets for the top of my island, despite my excitement to explore new ideas for the HVAC closet. I reigned myself in to focus on the already "in progress" projects going on. The closet surprise will have to wait. Continue Reading
Relocating thermostat, light switches and doors
Finishing my plywood plank ceiling was a huge milestone in this studio/craft room/office project.

V Groove Plywood Plank Ceiling
I finished my plywood plank ceiling and I LOVE it! I wanted to cover my studio ceilings with pine tongue and groove planks like I've done in most of the main level of my house. I'm able to get Pine tongue and groove planks for about $2.25/sq ft so it was going to cost about $3000 to do my st Continue Reading

Anne Hathaway reveals her slender beach body after losing weight for prostitute role in Les Miserables
She was forced to lose weight to play the role of dying prostitute Fantine in the movie adaptation of Les Miserables.
And today the actress revealed the results of her strict eating regime while relaxing in Miami.
The 29-year-old slipped her slender frame into a black bikini for a trip to the beach with her mother Kate and a group of friends.
Beach break: Anne Hathaway soaked up the sun in Miami today
Lean girl: The star put her body on show in a black bikini
Short and sweet: Anne recently cut her long locks for her new film role
Anne is in the city for Italian designer Valentino's 80th birthday.
She appeared self-conscious of her whittled down shape, quickly covering up in a grey T-shirt after emerging from the water.
At one point the star, who is engaged to actor-jewellry designer Adam Shulman, was spotted chatting to a long-haired male as she swam in the ocean.
Self-conscious? The star quickly covered up in a grey T-shirt
Alabaster Anne: Perhaps the pale star was covering up to avoid sunburn
VIP treatment: Anne's mother Kate brought a towel to the star as she emerged from the sea
It is believed that Anne has lost around 16lbs in just three weeks before filming began in London last month.
She is rumoured to have consumed just 500 calories a day - significantly less than the recommended daily allowance of 2,000 calories a day.
She also cut her once-lustrous long brown hair into a blunt crop for the part.
Weight loss: Anne is said to have lost around 16lbs in just three weeks 16lbs in just three weeks
The star certainly appears more curvaceous in the upcoming film The Dark Knight Rises, which will be released later this year.
Anne will tackle the formidable Catwoman character in the forthcoming Christopher Nolan-directed movie.
She recently received the seal of
approval from former Catwoman, Michelle Pfeiffer, who told Empire
magazine: 'I think she's great. I'm actually very much looking forward
to seeing her in that role.
Fun with friends: The Catwoman actress enjoyed a giggle with girlfriends
Bathing beauty: The star attracted male attention during her swim
'I'm a big fan of hers and I think
she has everything you need for that role. She has the humour, she can
go to dark places, she's obviously very talented.
'I think she's going to be really good.'
Although Michelle loved playing Catwoman in the Tim Burton directed movie, she isn't protective over the role.
Time to dry off: The star was still soaked as she headed back to her hotel
Doting parent: The star's mother was also spotted combing Anne's short crop
Ready for fun and sun: Anne, pictured at the airport with her mother, is in the city for Italian designer Valentino's 80th birthday
She said: 'Halle Berry did it already, it's fine. The whole thing with Batman is that they're always changing the world with each director.
'I would have loved to have done it but I know that's not what the franchise is really about now.'
Michelle is a huge fan of Nolan's take on the franchise saying, 'I love it. It's very different to Tim's but I'm a fan.'
Mum's the word: Anne and her mother enjoyed a spot of retail therapy together in the sunshine
Close-knit: The pair displayed their bond as they laughed together while indulging in some shopping
Transformation: Anne on the London set of Les Miserables in London last month and right, as Catwoman in the upcoming film The Dark Knight Rises

Leonardo DiCaprio Finally Took The Ice Bucket Challenge And Called Out The Canadian Prime Minister
"We're here to accept the ALS challenge and I'm happy to donate to this very worthy cause."
1. After being nominated by David Beckham, Leonardo DiCaprio finally accepted the #IceBucketChallenge.
In addition to getting soaked alongside Chief Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, Chief Courtoreille of the Mikisew Cree First Nation, and The Sierra Club President Michael Brune, DiCaprio also donated $100,000, while raising awareness to a cause of his own: the affects the Canadian Tar Sands have on the climate and the indigenous communities that live in the area.
Raising the stakes, DiCaprio nominated Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, with President of Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers Dave Collyer, Mark Little of Suncor Canada, and Shell CEO Ben van Beurden also receiving nominations.
4. Your move, gentlemen.

Middle East
Car bombs tore through shopping areas within minutes of each other in mainly Shiite neighborhoods of the Iraqi capital on Sunday (local time), killing at least 37 people and wounding more than 100.
The attacks come amid rising sectarian discord in Iraq and appear aimed at shaking Iraqis' confidence in the Shiite-led government. The explosions struck at the start of the local work week and primarily targeted outdoor markets.
Violence in Iraq has fallen since the height of sectarian fighting in 2006 and 2007, but insurgents still frequently launch lethal attacks against security forces and civilians. It was the third time this month that attacks have claimed more than 20 lives in a single day.
The attacks began with the detonation of a parked car loaded with explosives in the sprawling Shiite district of Sadr City Sunday morning. Two more parked cars later exploded elsewhere in the neighborhood.
Nima Khadum, a government employee, said the blasts shattered the windows of his Sadr City house. He said the air was heavy with smoke, while burning cars littered the street and the bodies of the dead and wounded lay nearby.
"The scene was a bloody one that brought to my mind the painful memories of the violent past," he said. "I don't see the benefit of security checkpoints that only cause traffic jams and don't do anything to secure Baghdad. The government, with its failing security forces, bears full responsibility for the bloodshed today."
Simultaneous explosions also hit the southeastern Baghdad neighborhood of al-Amin, where the force of the blasts left behind little except the mangled chassis of two cars.
An open-air market in Husseiniya, just northeast of the capital, and the Kamaliya area in Baghdad's eastern suburbs were also hit.
Another car bomb exploded near street vendors and a police car in the central commercial district of Karradah.
Police and hospital officials provided the death toll, and said more than 130 people were wounded. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to brief reporters.
Casualties could have been even higher. Authorities carried out controlled explosions of two other car bombs they discovered in Husseiniya and Habibiya, near Sadr City, according to police.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, but similar ones have been orchestrated by Sunni extremists, such as al-Qaida's local affiliate. The group, known as the Islamic State of Iraq, favors large-scale, coordinated attacks. It considers Shiite Muslims to be heretics and accuses them of being too closely aligned with neighboring Shiite powerhouse Iran.
As sectarian strife mounts, protesters drawn overwhelmingly from Iraq's Sunni community have been staging weekly demonstrations and sit-ins since late December to rally against the government, which is led by Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The protesters have rejected calls for violence and distance themselves from extremist groups such as al-Qaida.
There are also concerns that Sunni insurgents could step up attacks ahead of provincial elections scheduled for April 20. The ballot would be the first country-wide vote since the US troop withdrawal more than a year ago.
Al-Maliki and the US Embassy condemned the attacks. So did the United Nations envoy to Iraq, Martin Kobler, who said "all Iraqi leaders have a responsibility to stand up against these atrocious crimes."
Later in the day, gunmen opened fire on a military post near the western city of Fallujah, killing one civilian and wounding five people, including two soldiers, according to Fallujah police. The city and nearby Ramadi have been the heart of the Sunni protests.
The blasts came a day after a suicide bomber pretending to ask for help assassinated Brig. Gen. Ali Aouni, the head of the Iraq Defense Ministry's intelligence academy, and three of his bodyguards in the northern city of Tal Afar.
Sunday's attacks brought to more than 100 the number of people killed in violent attacks in Iraq since the start of the month. A total of 178 were killed in January attacks, according to an Associated Press count.

At IBC2010, DK-Technologies will debut several additions to its range of audio and video metering and monitoring products. New to the European market is the PT0700R Client Panel, a remote unit for the PT0760M HD/SD multichannel video waveform monitor. With the Client Panel in place, an engineer in one location can see exactly the same audio and video display as the engineer in the master control room, as well as access all the facilities of the PT0760M without interrupting its use at the master location.
Also new for IBC is the PT0740M, an audio-only version of the PT0760M waveform monitor. This unit, which is aimed at engineers who don't need a video measurement tool, offers de-embedding from a single HD/SD SDi input and full StarFish surround sound metering. It is complemented by the new PT0730M, which offers all the audio functions of its big brother but without the video input. These meters all benefit from the full range of PT0760 options, providing analog and digital inputs and outputs, audio delay, and Dolby decoding.
In addition, all of the products in DK's PT0700 series of waveform monitors can now be equipped with the company's Loudness software, which is based on ITU algorithms and includes the 400Hz and 1kHz reference frequencies that are likely to be adopted by the broadcast and advertising authorities. The company also has introduced a new software upgrade that simplifies the issue of audio loudness even further by enabling audio engineers to literally see what they hear. This software offers users the ability to see both peak and loudness metering at the same time, as well as provides dual loudness measurement while displaying the loudness in a graphical form. The PT0700 series also provides comprehensive logging so that reports can be easily produced to accompany the finished product.
The final new product for IBC is a revised version of the PT5300 Compact VariTime Sync Generator. This modular multistandard HD and SD gen-lockable sync generator already offers front panel and remote control, but now it can offer Ethernet access and simple Network Timing Protocol (SNTP).

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - The No. 9 Virginia women's lacrosse team (1-3, 0-1 ACC) hosts No. 8 Penn State (2-1, 0-0 ALC) on Saturday, March 1 at 12 p.m. at Klöckner Stadium in Charlottesville, Va.

Virginia is playing its fourth-straight home game and its fourth game of the season against a top-10 ranked opponent. Virginia is 1-2 at home and 0-3 against ranked opponents this season.
Virginia holds an 18-16 edge in the all-time series against Penn State, but the Nittany Lions have won the last two meetings including 15-14 last season in Charlottesville. Virginia had won six-straight matchups prior to dropping a 14-7 game in Happy Valley in 2012.
The Cavaliers and Nittany Lions are ranked No. 9 and 8, respectively, in this week's IWLCA Coaches' Poll, the same rankings they each held last week. However, Penn State dipped from No. 7 to No. 8 in this week's Brine Media Poll after losing to No. 3 Maryland, 14-7 (Feb. 22). Virginia dropped from No. 13 to No. 16 after falling to No. 2 Syracuse, 18-14, on Sunday (Feb. 25).
Penn State and Virginia are tied for 28th in the nation, averaging 14.0 goals per game and are also tied for 23rd in the nation in draw controls, averaging 14.5 per game. The Nittany Lions are 17th in caused turnovers, averaging 11.50 per game, while Virginia causes 9.25 per contest.
Junior Courtney Swan (Vero Beach, Fla.) continued her season-long streak of scoring at least a hat trick each game with a four-goal performance against Syracuse. Swan, who had six points in the game, her second time this season logging a half-dozen points in a contest, is tied for sixth in the ACC and 11th in the nation with a 5.0 points-per-game average. Swan, averaging 3.75 goals per game, ranks third in the ACC and 36th in the nation. She also ranks second in the ACC and 17th in the nation with 6.0 draws per game.
Senior Maddy Keeshan (Greenwich, Ct.) had her second hat trick of the season against the Orange, with a three-goal performance. Keeshan, who scored eight goals in her first three seasons with the Cavaliers, is third on the team in goal scoring this season with nine.
Senior Liza Blue (Butler, Md.) scored one goal against Syracuse, extending her streak of games in which she has scored, which extends back to last season, to 10. Blue is second on the team with 10 goals.
Senior goalkeeper Liz Colgan (Cockeysville, Md.) continues to lead the ACC in saves per game, averaging 10.25 per contest.
The Cavaliers close out the current homestand on Saturday, March 8 at 1 p.m. when they host No. 1 North Carolina.
Single-game reserved seats are available for all women's home games for $7. Single-game general admission adult tickets for women's home games are $5, while youth (18 and under), seniors (60 and over), and UVa faculty and staff tickets are $4 each.

Was just about to submitteratorize this – I love it that you and BB beat me to it…
And I suppose some people take this seriously.
I won't believe it until the comment section is filled up with posters from "fly-over country" pronouncing angry judgments against the liberal elitism of NY Times articles.
We used to just turn the NY-type attitude towards us here in flyover country into positives, or at least sometimes we did. The Saint Paul Winter Carnival is an example of that. The rest of the time we just added snarkiness to newspaper articles, such as an editor adding a by-line referring to Oscar Wilde as an "Ass-thete" in the Minneapolis Tribune in 1882.
Not all of us in fly-over country are Rush-worshipping inbred morons. (Only most of us.) So stop with that generalizing, you effete pate-licking Prius-driving chardonnay-swilling liberal hippie, you!
I agree, we must support our non-knuckle dragging brothers and sisters in middle america.
Nicely done!
Okay, so you hide the post's real title in here, in Commentland!
Man, you had me wondering… I truly thought someone must have lost a serious bag of marbles. Glad I caught the "fake" headline before I went and embarrassed myself with several lines of WTFness!
Best line from the story:
"Like many of the ibex farms sprouting up across the northeastern United States, Yael offers an intensive Chinese-language immersion course."
I guess I don't get the joke about how rich white people actually do shit like this and think better of themselves because of it. I guess "it's funny because it's true" applies here but all it did was make me depressed that I am lower middle class on the edge of poor.
rich white people actually do shit like this
Do they? Well, if anything, that makes me glad I'm not rich. I've seen an ibex or two in my time, and I'd just as soon keep my distance from those foul-tempered, flatulent lawnmowers.
I assumed it was mostly about how NYT feature writers, like many of their compatriots, have someone with a whip standing over them shouting "More colour!"
(I used British spelling to emphasise I am not in fact a reader of the NYT.)
First I was all like, "whaa?"
But then I lol'd!
One minor quibble on this otherwise brilliant parody: Shouldn't our dear protagonist, special unique flower that she is, be trying to decide between the rigor and prestige of a top ranked Ivy and the opportunities for unconventional personal growth and close intellectual engagement with a group of lifelong learning peers offered by one of the New England Small Liberal Arts schools(one of the ones you wouldn't be ashamed to have on your CV, of course)?
To be sure, everybody who is worth writing an article about considers Harvard and Yale; but some people just don't find these institutions to be sufficiently nurturing of their individual uniqueness…
My little sister is in her bocce club. She says that Anna is indeed not considering any other American university but Yale or Harvard. Anna is apparently quite insistent that if you're going to go somewhere ordinary it might as well be the best. It seems very likely however that she won't go to university at all but instead will be training under Yanashi Yo in the ancient art of making washi, traditional Japanese origami paper. Yo is famed for making the best washi in the world, so perfect that to actually fold it would be sacrilege. Instead all of her washi is burnt over the ocean in a ceremony known only to herself and her apprentices.
The article also needs to mention that the subject is the goddaughter of Amy Chua.
I knew it was a fake when she didn't take a stand in The Great Soap/No-Soap Debate.
Well played, especially in light of the book that NYT columnist David F. Brooks has just written about the "Composure Class." If you thought the Bourgeois Bohemians were insufferable…
For the slower people here in fly over country, like myself, read the title above the comments section, then it all makes sense.
It really is a great lampoonization of liberal elite. Andyhavens nailed the funniest line above.
Nicely done.
Ibex farming is so 2006.

National News
Three Cabinet ministers - Bill English, Hekia Parata and Craig Foss - signed off on Novopay despite being advised there were "bugs" in the system.
Steven Joyce - the "super" minister drafted in to fix the disastrous payroll system - revealed advisers had warned of the gremlins but said it should go ahead anyway.
The troubled payroll system was rolled out in August and problems became apparent in September.
Teachers have been overpaid, underpaid, or not paid at all, schools have gone into the red, Education Secretary Lesley Longstone has quit and Foss was stripped of his associate portfolio in the fall-out.
"The reality of it is that all the advisers the Crown had on this said 'it's time to proceed', Joyce said.
"There was definitely knowledge that there were bugs at the outset of going live.
"But the advice of all those involved was that the thing should proceed. I doubt the advice would be the same today.
"There is always bugs in a system like this when it starts. The question is are they the sort of bugs that cause problems."
Asked if Novopay was a "a dog" Joyce replied: "As it sits today, yeah, it's one with a few fleas."
Joyce held a press conference this afternoon to provide an update on the problems, just over a week after he was appointed.
As well as a ministerial inquiry, Joyce confirmed officials had initiated a contingency plan which could involve scrapping Novopay.
He said a technical audit by Deloittes was now examining the stability of the software, while Ernst and Young were already carrying out an annual audit of the Ministry of Education's systems which would feed into this.
Simply dumping Novopay would not be a "simple solution," Joyce said.
"You would have to actually wind back a significant amount of what's been done and then go forward again, and ... it's not a decision you would take lightly at all," the minister said.
"If the underlying data is in good shape - and its generally expected that will be the case - then we will look to start and modify with where we are, rather than try to jump horses and this point."
But Joyce and acting education secretary Peter Hughes have already held talks with Datacom, the previous supplier. Datacom made an unsuccessful bid for the present $30 million contract.
Joyce said the education ministry would be more involved with schools, document their feedback and provide more training., but he said it was "too challenging" to say when teachers would begin to be paid properly, but this remediation plan stretched "to weeks, even months".
The government has set aside contractual discussions with Talent2, the Australian provider, for the time-being and would stump up extra cash to get the problem fixed.
Joyce admitted this outlay could be significant and run into the millions.
But he said the government's contract with Talent2 could be broken, possibly without a financial penalty.
"I'm sure it could," he said.
"I can't give an absolute guarantee but I think the balance of probabilities would be in the Crown's favour."
Joyce will take his proposals for a ministerial inquiry to Cabinet on Monday. It fixing the problem was likely to take up to four months - but stressed it should not get in the way of fixing the system.
Labour leader David Shearer said a ministerial inquiry wouldn't boost teacher confidence that they would be paid. The government has "bungled" it and teachers deserved better, he said.
"They should have road-tested it before they put it out there," Shearer said.
"That was the recommendation that was put up to Hekia Parata. She didn't read it and didn't follow it. That's why we are in the situation we are in at the moment."
English said advice suggested the system was ready to go.
"Of course in hindsight we might have done it differently because we didn't want this result," he said.
The complexity of the system was underestimated, "and also the challenge of doing it all at once", he said.
Parata said: "I think hindsight is a wonderful thing. We are where we are now.
"All the advice we received from all the people involved, with significant technical information and knowledge, was that we should proceed."
