Strong Voices from the U.S. and Beyond
While originally founded as a showcase for the Kansas City Writers Group, Kansas City Voiceshas evolved into a platform for writers and artists from every region of the US and beyond. With roughly 40% of the annual devoted to regional authors, there is plenty of room for anyone with a strong voice. And voice is what unites the publication.
Vol. 11 has a distinct international flavor with pieces set in China, South America and Japan and with artwork from as far away as Sweden and France.
The magazine itself is a high-quality glossy with large sections of full-color art and a wealth of poetry from both emerging and established writers. Amongst its short prose, there are many excellent pieces, such as John Biggs' "An Inconclusive Girl," which is set on an Oklahoma Indian reservation and narrated by a pregnant lesbian. There is also some less successful work, such as the opening piece which just can't quite seem to find its ending.
The bulk of the magazine is poetry with a wide range of subject matter, including quick dips into pop culture with an ode to Winehouse and a poem about a night out with a werewolf. There is also a surprisingly insightful (contest-winning) piece by a 19-year-old student that ponders the tenuousness of relationships. I hope that Mr. Yaure continues to write. I note that he is studying languages, perhaps some translations down the road.
My absolute favorite of the poems is "The Model"penned by Suzanne Carey, a former financial manager turned poet/artist. Here she candidly describes her reaction to a "handsome...well-hung" gentleman who has come in to pose for her all-female art class. We see her struggle to force through his beauty and background to get down to the art. Beautifully done, Ms. Carey!
Interestingly, the poem is opposite a very striking photo of a shirtless Trinidadian man, another of my favorite pieces, courtesy of Marla Craven. Clearly, the editor made a good choice in the pairing. They pack quite a punch together.
On another note, I am happy to report that much of the editorial staff and more than half of the magazine's contributers are women. Way to go, KCV! Very progressive, and ahead of some other prominent publishers. Someone should let VIDA know. When they say they are open to everyone, they mean it.
And they also hold true to their commitment to showcase voice in any wrapper. This issue includes both conventional stories as well as surrealist pieces, crime shorts and bit of historical fiction. It is a delightful mix, one that will ensure it never gets stale.
The key to breaking into this market seems to be finding a unique perspective and rolling with it.
John Biscello in "Limb" takes us down the path of an old man who keeps journeying back to a village because he has been led by a dream. Eventually, the man and his dog find a doll limb that had belonged to a child who was murdered there (along with most of the village) by the military. It was the child's mother, also murdered, who had appeared to him in his dream. He pledges to stay until he has transcribed all that this mysterious Esperanza has to say to him.
Other noteworthy pieces are Catherine Moran's poem, "It's All About Balance," in which she asks us to consider what it feels like to be "wedged between a mobile home and a sonnet," and J.M. Landon's short story where we are introduced to a groom that is trapped upside-down in his car while on the way to his wedding.
Overall, I am impressed with the quality of both the writing and art, but I must admit that I am a bit baffled as to why the editor chose to start the issue off with two weaker pieces. Fortunately, those pieces were short and quickly followed by stronger work, but it could have put off a more time-starved reader.
Of course, they might still have stayed for the artwork. The many full-color spreads are perhaps the magazine's best selling point. In one word, gorgeous, and here again we find a wide range of styles, from Ken Knieling's abstract "Chaos in the Bay" to Nuncio Casanova's very Jules-Vernish photomantage.
I can find fault with only one of the eighteen art pieces, while I liked considerably less of the prose and poetry. It may be just a matter of taste, but many of the poems didn't quite make it for me. Some felt dry, one grating, and several started out strong but ended up in a whimper. I had a similar response to a hand full of the prose pieces. I think that most could have done with a bit more fleshing out and still have adhered to the 2,500 word limit.
With that said, I believe that with a more careful selection, the magazine could easily achieve five-star status. But for now, I give it a solid four with the added endorsement that I would consider sending my own work, especially knowing that this a paying market.

A very gentle whiff of smoke that borders on being more malty than peaty then there's some lovely notes of vanilla essence with lemon and lime growing in the background like a lovely gentle key lime pie.
Over the time I've been running this blog i've managed to build up a backlog of samples and bottles that i have either reviewed and not posted on here or that still need to be reviewed and as a promise to myself to get through them in 2014 i've decided to do more combined posts which show a connection, so there may be ones from the same distillery, or the same finish, or the same country (for unusual ones) and so today here is a post about three very different drams from Glenmorangie.
A Private Edition Official bottling, a single cask bottling from The Scotch Malt Whisky Society and a very unusual bottling from The Whisky Barrel which all add up to very interesting drams.
Could i pick a favourite of the three? not really, they all have qualities i like, the Finealta has that vanilla meringue and citrus note that i love with smoke that just makes your brain think it's been rewired, the SMWS 125.70 is so different nose to palate that you keep going back for more and the West Port has that flavour from Astar that i really enjoy so i really can't pick between them, what i can say though is that i would sit and drink them all, all night long.
I've had a good few of the Glenmorangie Private Edition drams now but this was my first time tasting Finealta which had been provided to me by my good friend Yoav (@yoavgel) from the Whisky Gospel Blog.
A really interesting and unusal dram as this has been lightly peated which really does through you off guard when you expect this distillery character to be much more vanilla and citrus and no smoke.
It works though, and i think it works really well, i just wish i could get one now without the hassles of dealing with auctions which seem to be the only place to get them now.
A very gentle whiff of smoke that borders on being more malty than peaty then there's some lovely notes of vanilla essence with lemon and lime growing in the background like a lovely gentle key lime pie.
really quite malty with whisps of smoke to the fore and lots of spicy key lime pie freshness, lovely vanilla essence & meringue also
vanilla meringue and gentle whispy smoke.

Yes, another The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottling this time 125.70 A Dram of Two Halves a dram that was passed to me by Chris Miles (@chrismiles303) from Still Dramming.
From one of my alltime favourite distilleries this has notes that really are familiar to me and ones that just come alive in the glass that i really wasn't expecting, once again the beauty of the single cask.
I've said it before and I will again, if you like whisky, you shoul dbe a member of The Scotch Malt Whisky Society
oh wow theres a really interesting nose here, there's a seaside brine that reminds me of the brine from a tin of Tuna, along with freshly crushed madagascan vanilla pods and an essence of good quality dessert wine creeping about in the background a hint of profiteroles completes the lovely nose here.
Lots of wood oak and spice are the first elements that grab you by the throat and shake you about before the cream file profiteroles come back in and a dash of sauternes wine, oh my this is wild and wonderful
chocolate croissants dipped in late harvest sauternes with a touch of candied almonds

Part of a wee series of Burns Malt single cask bottlings from The Whisky Barrel this is the Westport 15yr Burns Malt.
Westport is the name given to whisky distilled at Glenmorangie which has been "teaspooned" with Glen Moray, usually this happens when distillers sell off casks for blending so that they cannot be sold as single casks from the oiginating distillery.
Thanks Again to the guys at The Whisky Barrel for the official sample.
Initial notes of homemade brown bread there's hints of citrus fruit (particluarly orange and lime) sweetness With Candied fruit and hints of floral perfume and lemon curd.This is distinctively Glenmorangie and reminiscent of the astar for me.
Malted loaf with brown bread Demerara sugar sweetness with floral gums
Very sweet and Demerara sugary

text: In the old West, everyone carries a gun and they don't care about the things that are happening besides them. They would shoot anyone, who is foolish enough to messed with them. So, if a fire outbreak happened, no one would go out and rescue you except you. Fortunately, a mayor stands up and began the fire brigade since he have lost some people before from a fire outbreak. It opened his eyes to a lot of possibilities. It was a small brigade, who takes care of the town against fire outbreak. At least, the people of that town have one less worry. Soon, every town realizes the danger of fire outbreak and started a fire brigade of their own. No, they are not putting their guns down since there is only one Sherriff, and he can't be on every edge of the town every time someone terrorizes the city. However, the fire is easier to control now since a fire brigade is always on the call, waiting for a fire outbreak to happened. No, they aren't praying for it, but with the heat of the sun drying up almost everything, a fire outbreak is not far away from happening. In this game, the fire truck don't have some water in it and it needs to collect some water to put out the fire. The idea here is to get to the fire scene as fast as you can. Of course, there would be water droplet along the way and you would need to collect them. You can do that by simply driving through them. There is a timer and you need to make sure that you are able to reach the finish line as fast as you can or at least, before the timer expires. There would be debris slowing you down and that is something to challenge you in this game.

Are You Buying Sports Seats For Your Car?
Purchasing sports seats for your car is considered as one of the ways of sprucing up and upgrading your vehicle. In fact, it is one of the not so used ways to customize a vehicle. You see, for most people, the common ways of upgrading a vehicle would be to change wheels, wheel covers, car seat covers, carpets, bumpers, and grilles.
Changing your car's seats to sports seats may not be so popular, there are some matters to take into consideration when you have decided that sports seats may be the best thing that could happen to your vehicle. After all, overlooked as they may seem, sports seats actually do not just provide your car with a sporty and aesthetic appeal but they also give you and your passengers comfort through long or short drives.
Before doing anything else, you should ask yourself how much are you willing to spend and how much could you really afford. By answering this first question, you would be able to check and ask around as per any sports seats that would fall within your budget range. Remember that sports seats come in a variety of options – each more sophisticated than the next. In fact, there are even sports seats that come with electronic adjustments of the lumbar support.
If you have no idea whatever as per the kind of sports seats that you would like for your car, you can check out automotive magazines. Or you can also visit automated websites. If you choose to do so, you can also try contacting manufacturers to get the names of dealers of sports seats in your locality.
Upon visiting an auto parts store that offers sports seats, make sure that you ask the store's personnel to show you their collection of these. That way, you can personally inspect the seats so you could choose which ones to purchase. Consider the seats' safety features. Make sure that you choose those that has a high and close back rest which has the capacity to support and protect your back. Also make sure that it supports not only your back but your whole body as well.

On Saturday, the first player Brendan Rodgers signed as Liverpool manager scored the winning goal at Stamford Bridge, knocking Chelsea three points back as Steven Gerrard & Co. extended their winning streak to 11 games and their lead atop the English Premier League table to an eerily comfortable five points. Except, Liverpool and Chelsea? They don't play until April 27.
Welcome to the Borini Conspiracy. Stay woke, y'all.
Let's go back to 2004. Rodgers becomes Chelsea's head youth coach. He's hired by, yes, Jose Mourinho. The easiest way to hide a conspiracy from a would-be watchdog? Use him as a pawn. Why did Rodgers get the new gig? It was suggested to Mourinho by Steve Clarke, who later served as Kenny Dalglish's assistant at, you guessed it, Liverpool F.C.
In 2006, Rodgers is promoted to reserve-team coach. A year after that, one 16-year-old Fabio Borini joins Chelsea's reserves under Rodgers. Coincidental? The only coincidence is that the "There Are No Coincidences, Bro" T-shirt I own is also long enough to be worn without pants. In 2008, Rodgers leaves Chelsea to manage Watford for one season, and then Reading for another. Both clubs were in the Championship, neither a success — but Rodgers had to slow his ascent. Borini still wasn't old enough to buy cigarettes in New Jersey.
Come 2010, Rodgers takes a job with Swansea. Halfway through the season, who joins Swansea on loan? Borini. Who scores six goals in nine games? Borini. Who helps Swansea get promoted to the Premier League? Borini. After that half-season, Borini leaves Swansea. But rather than going back to Chelsea, he moves to Roma. The best place to hide an Italian? In Italy. Then, after one EPL season with Swansea, Rodgers becomes Liverpool manager. Who does he replace? Among others, Clarke. Who's an outspoken supporter of the move? Mourinho. Who's his first signing? Fabio Borini. Some hailed him as the Bolognese Pedro of the new Scouse Barcelona, but a "shoulder injury" derailed his first season. I'm not saying it was a fake injury in order to make a loan move to Sunderland by an Italian international seem reasonable, but I'm also not not saying that you play soccer with your feet, not your shoulders.
On April 19, 2014 — c'mon, a day before Easter — Borini converts a penalty in the 82nd minute to give bottom-of-the-table Sunderland a 2-1 victory over Chelsea, Mourinho's first loss in 78 home league games as manager of Chelsea. The way to make the near-culmination of a methodical, flawless, decadelong plan seem anything but: Shroud it in "improbable" history.
Some have said Liverpool are a team of destiny; others might say that destiny is just an opiate to numb us from the cruelly efficient, unspectacular, behind-the-scenes machinations of a handful of omni-powerful men and women who shape the world to their liking.
Last month, Rodgers was asked about Borini's loan to Sunderland. His response: "Hopefully, in the future, Liverpool will benefit from it."

500 Hood Street
La Crosse, WI 54601
Poage Park was opened in the year 1909 and is located on the South side of La Crosse. This park is filled with activity from ice skating in the winter to a large open field and is also located less then a block away from the South Side Neighborhood Center. Poage Park has a newly built playground, shelter, and splash pad.
George C. Poage Park, originally named Hood Park, was opened in 1909 by Michael Brewing Company and is located on the south side of La Crosse at 500 Hood Street. The purchase was for $3,900 for the Adams Street Playground. As with Powell Park, it was bought one year after the Board of Park Commissioners was created and was working on establishing a comprehensive park system. Poage Park was designed to have an open field area for games and skating, with a shelter to be constructed as a warming house. In 1910, the skating shelter house was constructed for $567.12. Many years down the road, 1969, a fence was installed around the park.
In June 2013 the name of the park was officially changed from Hood Park to George C. Poage Park.
George C. Poage was the first African American athlete to medal in an Olympic games. Poage came to La Crosse in 1884 at the age of 4 and was an 1899 graduate of La Crosse High School, the second highest in his class. He went on and became a track star at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Shortly after college graduation Poage won a pair of bronze medals in the 200 and 400 meter low hurdles at the 1904 Olympic Games.
The Poage project replaced the existing buildings and playground equipment. Sculpture by Elmer Peterson has been commissioned, and shows four separate renditions of Poage as he clears a hurdle.
Poage Park Grand Opening Ceremony was held Saturday, August 20th, 2016.

Asset Based Lending Field Examinations
eDelta Consulting has added Field Examinations to its product offerings.
Target markets
Target markets are the Commercial and Industrial Borrowers (C&I) of commercial banks, credit unions, savings banks, and non-bank asset-based lenders.
Purpose of field exams:
The purpose of Field Examinations is to provide lenders with an independent assessment of the collateral that they are lending against. The examinations generally are conducted on-site at the offices of the borrower or its accountant.
What is a field exam?
A field exam is a process undertaken by a financial institution in order to objectively appraise the value of a firm's working assets. The goal of the investigation is to determine whether or not accounts receivable and inventory can be converted to cash in order to represent collateral to support an asset-based line of credit.
Why are field exams important?
The asset-based lending structure assumes collateral as the main source of loan repayment and financial strength the second. Traditional commercial loan structures place emphasis first on the financial strength and second on collateral.
Recent developments in field exams
The current method of lending can combine aspects from both lending structures. Where credit is provided with advances against accounts receivable and in some cases inventory, consideration is also given to the company's capacity to generate cash flow. However, in the current economic environment, many companies have experienced declining sales and profitability, and have had to rely on financing receivables and inventory for working capital purposes.
Benefits to lenders include:
- Verification of the status of the assets held as collateral
- identification of trends in the asset composition,
- examination of risks in the asset/collateral pool
- adequacy of internal controls of the borrower's accounting procedures
- An on-site view of the borrower's financial situation
- Ongoing monitoring of the collateral supporting the borrowing arrangement
- Suggestions to both the lender and the borrower for improvement of the borrower's financial management
As a summary of the benefits, a well-executed field exam will identify risks and patterns of declining credit situations. An established field tester will provide valuable insights into the borrower's financial condition along with recommendations to lenders.
Likely candidates for Field Exams include:
- Prospective new borrowers
- Borrowers whose financial condition is deteriorating or where there are delays in loan repayments
- Annual credit renewals or requests for increases in a loan relationship
- Recurring examinations
- Relationships where there is doubt or concern about the ability of borrower management
- Concerns about the accuracy or timeliness of financial statements and/or financial reporting
- Companies with unusual corporate or organization structures
eDelta Field exam procedures
A dialogue is held with the lender before the start of the examination to determine specific concerns about the borrower and to outline the procedures and tests that will be used by the on-site consultant.
The on-site consultant begins a detailed analysis of a company's financial statements, specifically: accounts receivable, inventory, cash (including bank reconcilements), accounts payable, and customer records. Once the primary sources of risk are recognized, an examination is planned to establish these risks. Other areas tested include internal controls, systems, other liabilities, and insurance. Examiners will look at any other items of concern to the lender.
Accounts Receivable
When examining accounts receivable procedures, identifying ineligible and testing for dilution are required practices. Frequently seen ineligible include: receivables more than 90 days past the invoice date, overseas and government receivables, contras, retainers, and cross-age receivables.
Contra accounts appear on the balance sheet and offset the balance of a related/corresponding account.
Cross-age receivables are accounts, which are deemed uncollectable because a stated percentage of the receivables in that specific account is overdue. [Note: the higher the risk, the lower the cross-age percentage].
Dilution of a receivable occurs when there is a reduction in the amount to be collected and converted to cash.
A typical field exam analyzes changes in important ratios from period to period. Unexplained changes in these ratios could mean unstable financial operations or inconsistent accounting practices.
A field exam regarding a firm's inventory begins with gaining an understanding of the manufacturing process, starting with raw materials and ending with the finished product. The field examiner conducts a physical inventory of goods and identifies ineligible. Examples of inventory ineligible include: work in process, packaging materials, inventory on consignment, inventory in transit, licensed products, and general ledger reserves.
Why utilize eDelta Consulting:
- eDelta meets with lenders prior to the exam to verify concerns/expectations and to outline procedures to be used
- eDelta will customize each review to the specific requirements of the client
- eDelta's IT expertise can lead to automation of parts of the examination
- eDelta's field examiners will have experience with projects of this kin
eDelta's twelve years of consulting experience and its registered PCAOB Accounting Firm, eDelta Consulting Services, assures the clients that there will be a strong level of oversight of the consultants in the field.

The end of year review floodgates continue to hit this week with two more best of lists and another bunch of awards handed out by a major critics group.
First up, filmmaker John Waters has published his annual and often eclectic list of his ten best films of 2016 with "Krisha" taking the top spot followed by "Tickled," "Everybody Wants Some," "Roar," "Wiener-Dog," "Elle," "Julieta," "Like Cattle Towards Glow," "Valley of Love," and "A Quiet Passion". Amusingly he calls Linklater's 'Everybody' the "best accidentally gay movie ever made by a known heterosexual director".
Next comes the Sight & Sound poll which is up at BFI and includes an amazing batch of films with the top 10 consisting of "Toni Erdmann," "Moonlight," "Elle," "Certain Women," "American Honey," "I Daniel Blake," "Manchester by the Sea," "Things to Come," "Paterson" and "The Death of Louis XIV".
Finally, The New York Film Critics Circle has selected "La La Land" as the best film of 2016. Despite that, "Manchester by the Sea" was the big winner with best actor, writer and supporting actress. "Moonlight" scored director and supporting actor. "Toni Erdmann" took foreign language, "Zootopia" was best animated, "The Edge of Seventeen" and "Krisha" best first film, and "O.J.: Made in America" best documentary.

Never Too Late To Change Your Strokes
After I learned "this particular way", isn't it too late now to change my strokes??
"Nope, it is "never too late to change" anything that can be reprogrammed. The way you hit today is a product of the muscle memory you have trained, and all you have to do is retrain it, it's as simple as that. Now, most people aren't too patient to go through retraining something that has worked for them whatever much it has". It's mostly just because "initially" any changes will feel strange, weird, awkward. Trust me, it will NEVER Be Too Late to Make Changes On Your Tennis Strokes!! You can do it, you "really can"!! You just have to try any of the changes you need or want the right way and "believe you can do it!! "You Can Improve Your Strokes"!!
(Besides 30+ years of teaching & coaching experience, I must say my Physical Education Bachelors Degree in the 80′s has a lot to do with my opinion here).

Collective Feminist Art – The exhibition that honors art on paper
Art on paper – as I call it, isn't only paint and a canvas. It's also photography, pencil, printed designs and more. This particular event boasted a number of artists of different diciplines who exhibited their work in the Faculty of Arts' Gallery in Prishtina.
All of the artwork was submitted online to Femart's team, and the curators Majlinda Shefkiu and Stefana Stojilkovic chose the best of the best for the exhibition. An interesting fact pointed out by Zana Hoxha Krasniqi, the the executive director for Artpolis, is that this category gathered the most submissions in all of the other categories of Femart.
Part of this exhibition were :
Ilina Arsova Visual – MK,
Fjolla Ferati – KS,
Albulena Jashari – KS,
Shqipe Mehmeti – KS
Florentina Pllana – KS,
Rozafa Shpuza – ALB
Fjolla Bislimi -KS,
Shpatina Fejzullahu – MK
Anida Basha and Arbian Kahrimab – KS,
Anita Ramshaj- KS,
Sehida Miftari – KS,
Ardiana Shala-Prishtina – KS,
Vlora Kosumi- KS,
Milica Milović Kinolli – SRB.
Notable artwork were photographs of Kosovar women on the day they are married, portraying a significant part of Kosova's culture. Women were lavishly dressed and their faces painted with a white finished, topped with various markings of blue, silver and orange.
Drawings were no stranger to the exhibition. A most memorable piece of the exhibition was the image of a woman who's mouth is being covered by what seems a man's hand. Her big eyes can't go unnoticed, as they give you the feeling that she has something to say, but isn't allowed to.
A very pleasant part of the exhibition were the artworks of of Florentina Pllana, who's illustrations show women during their marriage, but in an animated form. You see gorgeous hair filled with flowers, rosy cheeks and red lips, paired with the traditional clothes of women on their big day.
Photographs of different women in various settings filled one a whole wall of the gallery. Some experimenting with light, some portraying a naked woman on the rocks high in the mountains, and some showing women wrapped in some sort of tulle.
What I found most interesting about the whole exhibition, besides the immense talent oozing from the paintings and photographs, was an installation in one part of the gallery. This installation consisted of a ladder in the middle, with books on each of the steps, which in my view symbolized that success comes from knowledge, and the more you are informed the higher up you can go. Surrounding this ladder were numerous veils hung onto the ceiling by handcuffs. This was by far one of the most creative ways to show "entrapment in marriage" without having to debate your way around it. They symbolized how many women are forced into marriage and not allowed to get an education. A true representation of not only our society, but many societies around the world.

I was so out of the fashion game during my pregnancy that it took a Facebook ad to get Everlane on my radar. But those quasi-Scandinavian minimal-cool photos and styling caught my eye and tapped into my yearning for some well-made basics. I was never a "normcore" person — I love classics but I also like a bit of quirk and spark — but I do believe in the idea of very simple, honest things to form a solid foundation for grown-folks wardrobe.
Luckily, simple and honest are what Everlane does well, both aesthetically and with its ethos as a business. (It's transparent about how its garments are sourced, priced and made.) Everlane's thing is "luxury basics." It got its start with simple tees and have been slowly but steadily diversifying into different items, fabrics, textures and even — gasp! — an occasional print. But what remains consistent is their sophisticated, thoughtful take on simple sportswear classics and the high quality of their fabrics.
Once I got done being pregnant, I have to admit that I was excited to get some Everlane things: they were perfect items to wear while I got my fashion legs back and my body slowly adjusted to being non-pregnant again. But Everlane is online-order only — unless you live in NYC and San Francisco where they have pop-ups you can try stuff on at — and ordering online when you have no sense of how their clothes fit in general is a challenge and a hurdle.
I also find Everlane's sizing to be really strange sometimes — they give very detailed measurements, but I found that I needed a small in some items, a large in others — but not in a way that felt intuitive or consistent across the brand. (I appreciate a brand where I know I'm a medium or whatever across the board, no matter what the style or item.) So I scoured the Internet and found a few reviews that helped me a lot. I thought I'd do the same here to help out anyone who's curious about Everlane, too.
Structured Wide-Legged Pants
As a short, non-waifishly proportioned person, I was fearful of wide-legged pants. As a new nursing mother with a post-partum body, I was downright terrified of them. And yet I couldn't resist when these went "on sale" at Everlane — I really love the jaunty, tomboy appeal of wide-legged pants. (It also helped that they had a slideshow showing how these pants fit on a variety of non-model, everyday-people type of bodies — Everlane, if you ever read this, please do this with your other items!)
Crazily enough, I felt no twinge of regret for buying these, because they're just really great pants. The material is superb — thick, substantial, just stiff enough to keep its shape but still stretchable. Because it's slightly stiff, the cut and lines are very clean, though the pockets do splay open just a bit. In general, these are sized pretty generously. Everlane doesn't seem to be selling this style anymore, but they are selling a slouchy version that looks very chic and cool. Now I'm curious about the other pants that Everlane sells.
Crew Sweatshirt
Oh, how I love a sweatshirt! This is almost a perfect specimen. The material is a substantial marled French terry that is beautifully colored and feels perfectly worn in already. The cut is perfect for me: it is just relaxed enough to gently skim your body but it's also not too slouchy or sloppy. I found this to be true to size, if you're interested in buying it. I have the blue marled, but I kind of also want the grey marled sweatshirt as well, because I am insane. But how often do you find perfectly perfect items of classic items that you truly do wear all the time?
Ottoman Sweatshirt
Buying this sweatshirt was a whim, but I had some store credit and was looking for an "elevated sweatshirt" — a non-blouse/non-sweater that had the comfort of a sweatshirt but with just a little something extra to make it more sophisticated than your typical sporty-casual piece. Of course Everlane would make the perfect expression of this odd, arcane ideal! This is probably my favorite Everlane piece so far: the material is this groovy ribbed fabric that is thick but not too heavy, and is also incredibly cozy and soft. The cut is killer: it's boxy and just slightly cropped, and the sleeves are bracelet-length — a nice, elegant, slightly nostalgic touch. It works equally well with skinny jeans as it does with the ponte skirt. If Jackie Onassis or Audrey Hepburn wore a sweatshirt, this would be it.
Sleeveless Poplin Shirt
This top was my first Everlane item, but interestingly, it's the one that I'm least enamored with — mostly because I realized I'm not a sleeveless button-down kind of girl. (Long-sleeved button-downs are an entirely different story.) But if you are, this is a great piece — the grey poplin fabric is actually more a soft, slightly weightier cotton than a thin, crinkly poplin, and the color is a gorgeous shade of grey: not heathers but not completely solid, either. Though the item is pretty true to size, I found the armholes to be a touch too low-cut for my taste, but generally I am super-picky about my armholes in general.
Ponte Skirt
If you'd told me that I could lean on Everlane to create amazing bottoms, I would've never have believed you — I generally like to buy anything that goes on my tush in real life, where I can try it on. But this is a truly exemplary straight/pencil skirt with a great, simple, well-executed cut. You can make it dressed up with a nice blouse; you can go super-casual with it as well. (I wore it with my Everlane crew sweatshirt and some Adidas slides and felt very 90s X-Girl.) But the truly wonderful thing about this skirt is the material — it's a thick, sturdy, flaw-smoothing ponte that feels like it will last for years. It's also sized pretty generously, I found, and it's a little long for a shorty like me — but it's nothing a little hemming won't fix. (I've actually come to like the just-below-the-knee length now — it's almost avant!) It felt true-to-size to large-ish to me — I could easily slide it over my hips without undoing the zipper.
Short-Sleeved Shirtdress
This dress was my one Everlane disappointment! Which is a pity, because I put it on my spring shopping list. But it just did not flatter me, and I couldn't figure out the sizing — I initially got my go-to medium, which felt too tight in the chest for my post-partum, baby-nursing body — but the large was just too boxy and made me feel like a linebacker! I couldn't even bear to take a picture in it because it was so unflattering on me! I might try again later in the season, now that my nursing boobs have gone down in size, but I have a feeling it's just not meant for me overall — I'm not really sure if it's meant for the broad-shouldered like myself. It's still a nice dress if it works for your body type — the fabric is, once again, just lovely and it's well-made with a lot of thoughtful details. The sleeves are nicely angled and the bottom hems are rounded, not straight across, which is often more flattering in a garment. But for me, alas, not flattering enough! So sad — but you can't have everything in life, right? Which is good, because otherwise I'd be broke.
Other Notes
Everlane's customer service have been very responsive and friendly whenever I've dealt with them, but I've had a few moments that slightly put me off. For my first order, I ordered some things, only to return them for store credit — and then waited almost three weeks to get that credit. In fact, I had to email them to ask what was going on to get them to finally process my credit and issue it. The rep kindly explained that their warehouse was slammed with the post-holiday period and was running behind. (My sense overall is that they might have warehouse and shipping snafus to work out as a company.)
Ultimately it wasn't a big deal — and the rep dealt with it really pro-actively and was very helpful and was overall a delight to deal with — but it was a bit of a shaky start, especially for a newish buyer. Everlane's clothes are impeccable and excellent overall, so I hope their customer service and fulfillment catch up! I'd still buy from them — obviously I still do! — but maybe keep an eye out for issues around peak shopping times. Since then I've had no issues, however.
Anyway, I hope this helps the Everlane-curious out there! Here are a selection of some of the items I own, as well as a few I have my eye on — I'm hoping the ponte dress stays in stock for fall! Happy shopping!
(Updated: if anyone's interested, I also reviewed the Everlane box-cut t-shirt as well as the street fleece sweatshirts! There's also a review of the Everlane luxe wool square turtleneck. For those looking for an athleisure line with similar commitment to sustainable labor, check out my review of Simulacra.) And I also just published a very idiosyncratic review of Everlane jeans.

Former Food Network producer David Page is suing the Food Network for breach of contract after they let him go from Guy Fieri's hit show "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." The network filed a countersuit against Page, alleging he mistreated employees. What's the truth? Well, Minneapolis' City Pages wrote a lengthy piece examining the facts of the lawsuit and it portrays Fieiri as a control freak who took significant liberties on the set and acted racist, sexist and homophobic on occasion.
Among the most controversial quotes from the article:
"You have to protect Guy from all of his poop jokes," Page says. "Anytime any woman mentioned 'cream,' Guy went into a sexual riff. When cutting the show, you had to tell the editors to watch Guy's eye line, because it's always on breasts."
"Guy had decided that the two men running the restaurant were life partners," Page remembers. "He said, 'You can't send me to talk to gay people without warning! Those people weird me out!'"
"They were demanding tremendous research from my people, and pictures, but they didn't want to pay for them," Page says. "Guy said to me: 'You know, it's true: Jews are cheap.'"
What do you make of the allegations? Read the rest of the article for more details.

text: Share: Comments Print June 12, 2013 at 6:00 AM Farmers markets and local celebs in 'Locally Grown' show Posted by Rebekah Denn Photo courtesy of Abundant Productions Farmers markets. A spoofy plotline. Local guest stars. Could this be our Portlandia? At the least, it's 'Locally Grown,' a comedy web show based on a fictional farmers market, shot partly at the Ballard Farmers Market and Shoreline Community College. Familiar faces from Seattle's theatrical community and celebrity scene show up as characters or in guest cameos, including Dave Dederer, formerly of The Presidents of the United States of America, John Curley, and Cynthia Lauren Tewes of Love Boat fame, who later (this is real life, not a satirical plot twist), became a Seattle-based cheese steward as well as acting on local stages. The show goes live online Wednesday, June 12, with a 12-minute pilot and assorted vignettes, including a 10-minute interview with Dederer on music and his city, in keeping with the "locally grown" theme. Dederer's father was a founding board member of Pike Place Market, and he counts market buskers among his inspirations. (Sister Clare is the author of this bestselling yoga-themed memoir and a Betty MacDonald aficionado.) A comedy about farmers markets seemed a natural to creator and co-writer Simon Hamlin, a local kid who remembers picking Pike Place Market for his seventh-grade school report on "my favorite spot in Seattle." "I've always loved the markets, and I think growing up in Seattle it's kind of ingrained in us," he said. (Maybe for him more than most; dad Larry Hamlin is a restaurant consultant who founded several notable Seattle spots, including the Brooklyn and Mel's Market downtown.) "Then, probably a year and a half ago, I was in a market and looking around and seeing all these beautiful, incredible fruits, vegetables, flowers – it's visually very appealing," Hamlin said. "Then you've got these buskers playing, so there's the musical element. Then you've got eccentric (people), you've got families, dogs, people with cats on their shoulders, ferrets on their shoulders…I'm just looking around, thinking, 'How has this world never been explored for a TV show?" With colleagues Lorraine Montez and Lisa Roeser at the 'Abundant Productions' film company, Hamlin put together the idea of a show about a farming family ("Organic characters. Sustainable laughs") at the fictional Ballmont market, theoretically located between Fremont and Ballard, that neighborhood otherwise known as Frelard. The pilot plot is a goofy drama where a third-generation farming family is accused of 'profiling' market-goers and deciding who will be offered a toothpick-speared sample of fruit. The storyline includes the farmers making an offering to the Godfather-like Market Master. "They legitimately use the term Market Master, that's not made up," Hamlin said, hastening to add that the character was not based on actual Ballard Market Master Judy Kirkhuff. "All these characters are kinds of seeds of different people I might have interacted with," he said. A Kickstarter campaign raised more than $10,000 toward startup costs. The team's backgrounds in marketing and sales as well as acting helped them bring in donors, while working with a budget allowed for professional production values and at least some pay. "Coming at it as an actor, and having worked on a lot of different projects, a lot of times you are working for nothing," Hamlin said. "We felt it was important, if it wasn't going to be a lot of money, to at least acknowledge 'You're doing this well below your rate, but we recognize that and want to acknowledge you with something.' People like Cindy, or Jeff Steitzer, who has performed on Broadway, or someone like Tony Doupé, our director, who seems to pop up in every movie that comes through here." Others, like Curley and like Dederer, lent a hand as a favor. "We wanted to create this synergy" between the fictional show and Seattle's real characters, Hamlin said. The real-life backdrop also includes familiar market vendors and locations like Carnation's Oxbow Farm. Vendors came out to the pilot's premiere in Georgetown Saturday night. Hopefully, Hamlin said, the pilot will be received warmly and the series will continue. "My dream of dreams is that it becomes like Seattle's answer to Portlandia, a show for Seattle that really celebrates our community and incorporates all those talented musicians and actors and all the creative folks in our community, but would have a national appeal." Like any good comedy, he said – (or any good farm) – "you take the seed of something" and go from there. Comments | Topics: Ballard Farmers Market, Dave Dederer, John Curley

When you are trying to find a project for improving your home to make it look more appealing, one that will bring many benefits is to make it more convenient by simply organizing it. It is hard to keep track of all of your possessions when you are too disorganized, and the space you have will be hard to use with all the clutter. The tips we'll be covering in this article will show you some easy ways to organize your home and give you a sense of control.
You will need to get your family thinking along the same lines when you decide to organize your home. You will need to get the kids in the house to participate also; they will need to maybe pick up around their rooms and not leave dirty dishes in the kitchen. At times it may be as tricky an ordeal with the adults in the household; get your ideas out in the open. Sometimes it is a good idea for everyone involved to sit down together and figure out a plan of action. Among the many messes left around the house may include dirty dishes or clothes lying around. Approach this issue in a cheerful, constructive way. Keep the attention on how great your place will look after all of you have made the changes together. You can give an area a roomier image if you rid the place of massive, obtrusive items and add less interfering ones. If the sofa in your living room takes up too much space and you would not mind if it just went away; find it a new home to live in. The same can be said for large upholstered chairs, dining room tables or lamps. Certainly, if you are truly fond of a piece you would not even think of getting rid of it; but sometimes it is just a matter of laziness not to lose the pieces that do not matter. Replacing some of your things with condensed versions will make your room appear larger and organized.
With so many computers these days, and all of their wires and cables, when added to TV cables and VCR or DVD cables, no wonder a modern house is so hard to get around. All of the cords and cables coming from the various electronic devices have become complicated messes that are potentially dangerous. One solution is to switch to wireless devices as much as possible. Whatever product has the most cords, like your entertainment center, or desktop computer, needs to be placed as close as possible to some outlet. You can buy inexpensive items that prevent cables and cords from getting tangled up, and they also hide them. The situation you are having with your cords can be fixed very easily when you start paying attention to what is going on.

No bad blood as Guinness ends free pint for donors
BLOOD donors are continuing to give pints of the red stuff, even after free pints of the black stuff dried up, writes Anne-Marie Walsh.
Guinness's parent company Diageo has stopped providing bottles of the brew to refresh weakened members of the public after they have given blood. Diageo dropped the service last November because it felt that it no longer suited its "style".
It no longer promotes Guinness as having health benefits and wanted to be in line with a code of marketing standards.
But a spokesperson for the Irish Blood Transfusion Service said Diageo's decision to scrap the bonus pint had not made people more reluctant to donate.
