Elwood’s Shack Park Avenue (Courtesy: Tim Bednarski) 2:59 p.m Subscribe to our newsletter News Opinion Calendar Music Screens Arts+Culture Food+Drink Books Sports Fun Stuff I’ve been wearing Elwood sweats (also available at Nordstrom!) for quite a few years now wear-on-repeat basics that I somehow forget to thoroughly review Probably because they don’t feel new or fancy or maybe because sweats are famously a bit frumpy they are the very thing I get asked about the most whether in person or when I show up in them on social media.  When not even our editor-in-chief knew of them during a recent team conversation about loungewear I’ve been keeping my favorite sweats a secret (unintentionally Shop sweats at Nordstrom | Shop sweats at Elwood Comfort clothing is the name of the game for my personal style these Elwood sets are one of the very few matching sweat sets I currently own and the only ones I own in multiple colors.  they feel unlike most other sweatshirts and sweatpants on the market They are made from 100% organic cotton with a brushed terry feel crewneck (XL) | jeans (28) | beanie | bag | similar boot they are actually a bit thinner and lightweight than other brands so it doesn’t bunch up or balloon out on you They are comfortable without causing you to overheat.  hoodie (XL) | sweatpants (S) Elwood has a much larger collection of clothing on their website, including one-of-a-kind vintage pieces (that I drool over with every release) but with this article, I’m focusing on their Core Collection.  This is a line of perfected tops and bottoms made to mix and match They come in “core colors” while also launching a few special new hues every season (*these limited edition hues are what I get asked about the most hoodie (M) | sweatpants (L) hoodie (L) | sweatpants (M) Elwood clothing is famously a unisex brand so while places like Nordstrom stick them straight into their men’s section (BOO) and she looks far better in them than I do.  Unisex clothing can be tricky when it comes to figuring out your size so along with trying on each piece in readily-available colors I thought it might be helpful to show you a range of sizes in some of my most loved pieces (spoiler: there’s a trick in getting them to look juuuust right).  Elwood crewnecks are easily some of my most worn clothing A sweatshirt is probably my top favorite clothing item to wear and there’s a reason I’ve bought this particular one in multiple colors crewneck (XL) | sweatpants (S) my sweet spot in this sweatshirt is a size large It gives me juuust enough drape when sidetucked into my bottoms (something I do 99% of the time) for when I want a dramatically oversized look (typically with workout shorts or a pair of leggings).  These crewnecks have a wide enough neckline to show off a layered tee underneath and the dropped shoulders feel modern and easy to wear Crewneck – Left: Size Large | Right: Size XL The key to getting your perfect fit is making sure it’s oversized enough When you try to find your “regular” size in these sweatshirts they sit narrow on your body and lack almost all ability to drape around your hips I feel like I’m left looking odd and frumpy Crewneck – Left: Size Medium | Right: Size Largesweatpants (M) Unlike the Core Crewnecks, the trick to getting your perfect fit in the Core Sweatpants is making sure you’re not going too big the bottoms all have a much longer and looser crotch than women’s clothing typically has.  Elwood does a good job at keeping the lengths relatively flexible among sizes meaning you can go up or down the size scale and not notice too drastically a difference in how long the pants fall They also come with a very generous elastic waist that is easily opened for more room or cinched up with their drawstring for a secure fit Sweatpants – Left: Size Medium | Right: Size Large My height has the sweatpants falling in a way that appears “fitted” around my ankle- but I gotta say I’m a little envious of how dang COOL the sweatpants look scrunched up at the bottom on those who are shorter than me There’s no other hooded sweatshirt I’ve found with the same boxy shape and loose bottom hem as Elwood’s Core Hoodie which makes this probably the *most tuck-able* hoodie of all time It’s pretty much perfect for all my favorite little tucking tricks I don’t find the hoodie to be as size-dependent as the crewneck for looking good it just depends on your personal preference Hoodie – Left: Size Medium | Right: Size Large that the hood itself definitely changes size getting more generous and roomy the bigger you go in the sweatshirt.  Hoodie – Left: Size Medium | Right: Size XL I have owned one of Elwood’s Core Tee’s for multiple years The unisex fit of this tee doesn’t do my body shape any favors and it left much to be desired.  tee (S) | sweatpants (M) I originally owned an XL to wear long over shorts in the summer which fits more how I would want a shirt to fit me (for reference but one thing I can say is that it definitely gets better with each wear + wash but it’s one I’d rather just keep buying my husband The main reason Elwood’s Straight Leg Sweatpant doesn’t get my top stamp of approval is for the longer I once tried my regular size medium in these and sent them back immediately (without snapping a photo I was too mortified to remember to take one) They were so awkwardly loose in all the wrong areas I knew this time to order one size down (a small) because they would be the best fit to show you The drawstring waist still allows these to fit great on my hips and the amount of extra fabric in the crotch is similar to the joggers in my normal size (a medium) but I personally gravitate towards their jogger style sweatpants for everyday comfort PS – Elwood has a kids line – and they’re so good that my kid practically lives in their pieces These are great quality tops and bottoms that can withstand all the crafts and fun of preschool while still being comfy enough

WKYC Studios added that Edwards passed away a day before his birthday warm voice is now synonymous with the AOL alert the opportunity to lend his voice to the signature phrase came largely by chance In 1989, Quantum Computer Services, which would later be known as AOL, was looking for a voice actor to help with the alerts of its new software Edwards' wife was working there at the time which is how Edwards heard about the opportunity Edwards recorded "Welcome," "You've got mail!," "Files done" and "Goodbye" on a cassette recorder Edwards' voice went on to become one of the defining sounds of the internet revolution introducing them to the world of email for the first time “Edwards’s voice made AOL feel a little friendlier, a little more welcoming at a time when the internet was a big, new world for most people," AOL said in a statement partly due to its merger with Time Warner and partly because it failed to adapt quickly enough to the changing internet landscape going to work for 3News at the television station WKYC in 2002 But his voice continued to be prominent in various sitcoms and films over the years most notably the 1998 rom-com You've Got Mail Edwards appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to read some lines suggested by the audience can you say the classic 'You've got mail' line?"

The financial aid during his cancer battle coupled with the support from a dedicated team of WellSpan nurses and doctors helped Elwood cope during this critical phase of his life “and I see him fighting to reclaim the person he aspires to be."  Ivy and Elwood Rice have fun on their 2023 wedding day Supporting WellSpan’s Cancer Patient Help Fund helps patients like Elwood Learn how to give today and see you can impact your community through donations to WellSpan programs Call 866-593-3086 (Deaf / Hard of Hearing Customers: PA Relay 711) FILE - AOL’s home page is shown on a computer screen who voiced America Online’s ever-present “You’ve got mail” greeting The cause was complications from a stroke late last year Edwards taped his AOL greeting in 1989 into a recorder while sitting in the living room of his home “You’ve got mail” became a pop culture catchphrase in the late 1990s and served as the title of the 1998 Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan film “He would still blush anytime someone brought it up,” his daughter said He was also the voice of AOL’s “Welcome,” “Goodbye” and “File’s done” messages He got the gig while working at an independent TV station in Washington was a customer service representative for the internet provider that later became known as AOL She heard the company was looking for someone to be the voice of its software and suggested her husband they didn’t have him go in a recording booth,” his daughter said his voice was heard by millions of people each day He did appear on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” in 2015 to repeat the famous catchphrase smiling broadly and chuckling as the studio audience cheered He also added his voice to an episode of “The Simpsons” in 2000 Edwards first worked in radio and then moved into television He had a brief stint as a weatherman and worked as an announcer but mostly he spent his time behind the camera adding that her dad “always had a ready smile anytime you’d see him.” He later worked at WKYC-TV in Cleveland as a “graphics guru and general jack-of-all-trades,” the station said Edwards also did freelance voice-over work for radio and television commercials Sallie Edwards; granddaughter Abbie Edwards; and a brother The family plans to hold a memorial service Monday in New Bern Phil Elwood is consummately nondescript: mid-forties white guy “I look like every other dude in DC.” It’s deliberate For his whole career as a public-relations operative Elwood’s goal was to shape the news from the shadows Now Elwood is stepping into the light. In July, I met him at Joe’s Stone Crab—a boozy lunch joint by the White House—to talk about his new book, All the Worst Humans an account of his decade or so of reputation-laundering for various dastardly regimes It’s basically the PR industry’s Kitchen Confidential a dissection of the profession’s grittier corners It’s self-deprecating and self-mythologizing at once a bit of a career refresh—a way to burn bridges so that he can no long­er do the kind of work he once did plus an attempt to bring some of the shadiest practices of his industry to light “People come to me all the time and ask me to do things that are whack,” he said I don’t want to get away with that stuff anymore I don’t want to have to answer the question ‘Will you work for this baddie?’ ” He’s a seasoned PR operative; his expertise is spinning reporters to write favorable stories for his clients Elwood’s story: After a peripatetic childhood he won a debate scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh landing—through a friend—an internship with Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan which he parlayed into a job with Senator Carl Levin then got a master’s at the London School of Economics to try to influence the MPAA rating for an expletive-laden Iraq War documentary so he concocted a moral argument: that the film must be PG-13 because teens who might consider enlisting should be able to see what horrors await The filmmakers presented Elwood’s case to the MPAA Elwood moved to a megafirm with lots of clients overseas entering a nook of the PR world that’s known—somewhat euphemistically—as “private-sector international relations” or “public diplomacy.” His first dodgy assignment He was sitting at dinner when a text arrived from his boss ordering him to drop everything and check his email There he found an op-ed from Muammar Gaddafi Elwood was to edit what he calls “600 words of crazy” into something coherent enough to print then send it to whichever paper would run it the fastest Elwood’s wordsmithing ran under Gaddafi’s byline in a national publication castigating the West for “provoking Russia,” which had invaded Georgia just a few months before The work Elwood did earned him a subpoena from the Robert Mueller investigation Elwood embarked on a decade of high-stakes PR capers—stunts that often looked more like diplomatic maneuvering than managing a client’s image and a never-passed congressional resolution to help torpedo the American World Cup bid on behalf of Qatar when a US anti-gambling law thrashed the economy of Antigua And then came his work for an Israeli firm called Psy-Group which pitched the 2016 Trump campaign on a plan to use social media to influence the election (Elwood insists he wasn’t involved in that effort and the Trump team apparently turned them down.) The work Elwood did for Psy-Group—moving enormous sums of money between dummy corporations printing and delivering mysterious documents—earned him a subpoena from the Robert Mueller investigation though he was never personally accused of any wrongdoing Elwood doesn’t feel great about many of his former clients “It didn’t exactly register for me what I was doing,” he told me “The thing I would compare it to is skydiving; when you get to the door and you’re about to jump out of the airplane you look out at the curvature of the earth and everything below isn’t real PR is a little like sleight of hand; if done well the Lockerbie bomber—a Libyan terrorist who’d helped bring down a Pan Am flight over Scotland—was about to be released from prison but the Libyan government wanted him to receive some good press Elwood hatched a plan: He drafted an open letter—making the case that Libya was America’s ally in the war on terror so it was important not to bash them too hard—then found a member of Congress who was willing to sign it (Elwood told that member’s staff that alienating Libya might undo important diplomatic work.) Then Elwood took the story to Politico which printed a news item with excerpts of the letter—evidence of a Libya-friendly element within the US government—without any mention that Gaddafi himself was behind it Elwood describes his work as building Rube Goldberg machines “You have to think in this strange way of ‘Can I get the ball to bounce off the strings and start a fire in order to lead to this particular outcome?’ ” Some of it he would sometimes hide the identity of his client ‘No one can find out who I am,’ I won’t take the account ‘I’ve got to be able to tell reporters who’s paying my bills.’ ” Elwood explains that during their training PR operatives learn that every story has a villain a PR guy’s job is to tell a story that turns the villain into a victim or vindicator—a murderer becomes heroic if his crime was meant to protect someone else is whether that’s the point of Elwood’s book: A mouthpiece for foreign dictators seems like a villain torching his industry in service of reform Perhaps he wants to change the narrative—he did stress that he wrote the book encouraging PR people to ask themselves whether what they’re doing is right and prodding journalists to be savvier about where they’re getting tips a longtime pound straggler with a reputation for attacking children he said it was a relic of a ketamine infusion 48 hours prior; he wears it for three days after each treatment to remind himself not to drink because alcohol reduces the efficacy of the drug Elwood credits ketamine with saving his life and convinced that his wife was going to leave him he attempted suicide at his weekend house on the Eastern Shore he found ketamine (which reduces his suicidal ideation) and decided to stop laboring toward morally dubious ends but he insists that he works only for good guys—stuff that’s pro-democracy causes that would make his wife proud and wouldn’t raise eyebrows with his lawyer Elwood currently has just one primary client and he would only tell me who it is off the record He said he didn’t have authorization to reveal it in this article and he worried that going public would limit his options in terms of the story he’s trying to tell on their behalf But he needed me to believe that he’s changed his ways—that he’s working for someone virtuous—which would be tough if I didn’t know who it was When PR people want to influence the tone or direction of a story without leaving any fingerprints—without the reporter being able to use the information in print—they ask to talk off the record account for 99 percent of his job.) He calls this the Faustian bargain at the heart of his industry they’re talking to somebody who’s been paid by a third party to advance an agenda.” When Elwood offered to name his client off the record But because I allowed him to go off the record One might think that writing a book like Elwood’s—airing the dirty laundry of a cash-drenched industry whose whole job is to burnish reputations—might generate some blowback a lot of PR folks have thanked him for not including them “Nobody wants their name to appear in a book called All the Worst Humans,” he told me How do we believe that Elwood is done working for baddies that he hasn’t actually hung out a shingle letting the world know that he’s up for these kinds of jobs “Because I said in the book that I wouldn’t and people can keep me accountable,” he replied I’m working for this very misunderstood despot,’ write me up The family of Gregory Elwood "Greg" Dunn created this Life Tributes page to make it easy to share your memories Made with love by funeralOne 1928 to Jesse and Grover Clark whose family lived throughout Southern Vermont NH area where they raised four other children Lorraine spent her childhood enjoying an outdoor lifestyle with her siblings She was educated at Hillsboro High School and through family and friends met the wonderful man who would become her husband and lifelong companion for forty-five years Quentin Elwood and Lorraine were married July 31 1948 and moved to his family farm in Londonderry NH where the young couple continued to grow apples at Orchard View Farms and over the years acquiring much acreage Lorraine helped greatly on the farm in between having her four children Janet remained close by the family farm to assist her parents in later years Lorraine had many close friend and neighbors always ready to lend a helping hand to a fellow farm wife Quentin and Lorraine continued their fruit orchards for many decades but eventually retired and remained in Londonderry and enjoyed a slower pace of life Lorraine was predeceased by Quentin in 1994;
