![]() Why is it important to undertake these kinds of projects? What are the advantages that will accrue to the library that does this – and what are the costs of not doing so? How do we even start? What kinds of decisions will we need to make and what are some of the factors that should be considered? Each panelist will relate their own experience in “tidying up” parts of their collections, specifically reference works, periodical subscriptions, and standing orders, and will offer guidance to others who are considering undertaking similar endeavors. Issues addressed by the three panelists will include both the why and the how of collection development for particular resources and circumstances. If you only have a minute, here’s the book summary in seven quotes: In this book, I have summed up how to put your space in order in a way that will change your life forever. The panelists will discuss how “tidying up” parts of their collections, while in some ways a daunting process, is nevertheless a worthwhile and important endeavor for libraries. This Japanese art of the Konmari method will help you change your approach to tidying up such you will never revert to clutter again. Quick Summary of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo. The title of this session recalls Marie Kondo’s 2014 influential book of the same name ( The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up), from which we took our inspiration. I did not get a thredUp Goody Box as part of a media review or paid promotional campaign. (And I secretly hoped that it would be better than my previous shopping experiences.) Quite honestly, I wanted to do a thredUp Goody Box review so that I could show you exactly what this surprise box would look like. So when I got the invite to try out one of the first thredUp Goody Box shipments, I said yes with no expectations. The company uses their “treasure hunters” to match you with items from more than 1,000,000 secondhand clothing pieces from more than 35,000 brands. We’re not trying to build a pure “styling service” – there are plenty of places that do that – but we did want to use the team’s style and fashion experience and our amazing selection of low-priced branded inventory to expand what we could do for customers like you. ThredUp Goody Boxes are supposed to be special treats that make you smile and help you find items you might not have thought you ever wanted. ThredUp never says that they are a personal “styling service.” In a welcome letter sent with my first thredUp Goody Box, it said: Once you order a thredUP Goody Box, you will then fill out a form with your clothing sizes, personal preferences and tastes, and some general guidelines for thredUp to curate your box. Here’s the list from my thredUp Goody Box: Prices for all items are sent in the box so that you know how much each item is. Items that you don’t want to keep and buy will need to be returned within 7 days.Īll items not sent back after 7 days will be billed to your credit card on file. A pre-paid mailing label will be included in your box. Shipping and handling are free both ways. There is no commitment and you are not part of a subscription box service.

Normally, you can buy individual clothing and accessories on thredUp and pay shipping and handling fee (unless you’ve bought $79 or more). Here’s my first thredUp Goody Box review on YouTube. What’s In ThredUp Goody Boxes?Ī thredUp Goody Box is different than buying clothes on the online consignment store. The others were sizes that definitely didn’t fit right – so you really NEED TO KNOW how each designers sizes fit you.Īnother order I scored amazing deals on winter coats and wear for super cheap prices.īut my latest thredUp purchase had me contacting customer service twice (they didn’t respond the first time) when the item that was stated “excellent condition” came with pin holes that were noticeable in the dress. None of them were eligible for return (I knew that buying them, though). Then the next time I bought a bunch of items for crazy low prices during a Black Friday promotion. The second time I bought clothes from thredUp, though, the wrong item was sent (they listed it as a size four coat and in reality it was size 14. I got some really great deals for very little money. ![]() My first experience with buying clothes on thredUp was honestly great. However, you can just buy secondhand clothing (which is sustainable fashion, by the way) for super great prices. (Here is a great list of places where you can sell clothes online.) So, I won’t be selling to thredUp anymore. And there are hundreds of comments left on my post of more personal stories of disappointing consignment sales. My experience with selling my clothes to thredUp to make some extra money was bad, to say the least. I haven’t had the best of luck with thredUp in the past. See below as to whether the second thredUp Goody Box was any better than the first. *Updated May 2018 with a Second Goody Box review. This sustainable fashion alternative might not be the best fit for you, though, as you’ll see in my ThredUp Goody Box Review. The thredUp Goody Box is a way of receiving secondhand clothing right to your door and selecting what you like and don’t like without shipping fees or commitment to keep the clothes. The online secondhand clothing store, thredUp, has just created a new product for clothes shopping from home. This can be discussed with your provider at your appointment.

When arriving for testing, patients are asked to follow signage or the instructions of the staff onsite. A parent or legal guardian must complete the online registration for all minor patients, and patients 12 – 15 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian when they come to be tested. ![]() Self-swab tests are no cost to patients and available to individuals meeting Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria.1 Patients must register in advance at CVS.com to schedule an appointment. ![]() “We recognize the critical role testing plays in helping to manage the spread of the virus and are incredibly proud of how our teams have responded to this need while continuing to take care of our customers, clients and patients.” “Since opening our first test site in March, we’ve been able to quickly adapt to the changing landscape in order to make it easier for people in the communities we serve to access testing,” said Jon Roberts, Chief Operating Officer, CVS Health and acting President, CVS Pharmacy.

It was probably the most erroneous aspect of the hour, but Boris Kodjoe and Merle Dandridge are so ridiculously pretty and have hot chemistry, so there's that. ET Source: ABC Grey Damon and Merle Dandridge in Station 19 Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for Seasons 5 and 6 of Station 19. Sullivan was genuinely hurt when he found out she went on a date, and it bothers him that he has to lie and keep secrets about her, but she knows how this will affect their careers, particularly hers.Įva: I only screwed you because I was lonely and the sex was decent but this is sick.Įva: There's a lot wrong with you, loser. It's been an incredibly gratifying, emotional, dramatic, and action-packed season of Station 19, and they're about to keep that same. The two of them had a romantic getaway together, reaffirming how deep their relationship is to them, thus complicating the situation since they're not supposed to be together. The glamorous life isn't so glamorous when lives are at risk. On the Sullivan side, it turned out that his secret online girlfriend was Ross. After being given blackmail material about Chief Ross (Merle Dandridge) and Sullivan (Boris Kodjoe), Maya (Danielle Savre) goes to Andy (Jaina Lee Ortiz) ins. From Maya nearly falling off the Ferris Wheel to get a better view despite Beckett's orders to her sacrificing herself to save that father and son, she was brave, badass, and heroic. ![]() On the one hand, it was an incredible save in the corn maze. Still, much like Andy's advice to Carina, it's this "Maya is just being Maya" approach to everything as if it justifies her behavior or absolves anyone from calling her out directly. They know her well, and that counts for something. We also saw it and still see it in how the others approach Maya.

For example, we expected the long reel tapes to measure long distances without the tapes twisting or blowing unduly in a breeze. We looked at how well a tape performed for its intended usage. The ones with greater standout lengths received more points.Įach tape was also closely inspected and awarded points for how well its tang was attached and whether its markings were clear and easy to read. For each of the tests we performed, we awarded points between 0 and 4, depending on how well the tape measured up.Īll of the metal tapes were tested for standout length, or the length to which it could be extended in the air before it bent. ![]() We extended each one out to its maximum length-something that may not happen in general use-but it was necessary to test how the ends of the blades were connected and whether pulling on them would pull them out of the case. We then moved on to various other tests that pushed each tape measure to its limit. Fortunately, all the ones we tested were, so that wasn’t an issue. To earn a spot in our lineup, each of the tape measures had to be accurate and precise.

I can see why that makes sense.Tweet This Click to share quote on Twitter: First thing we'd climb a tree and maybe then we'd talkOr sit silently and listen to our thoughtsWith illusions of someday casting a golden lightNo dress rehearsal, this is our life- Ahead By a Century This is the elusive essence of what Downie spent his life trying to turn into a song now and again, it feels as if I almost get it.Ī week ago, I saw a profile on a dating app with the request, "Will go out with anyone who can converse in Hip lyrics." There is a strange and intoxicating beauty in those moments, as I think of quiet lives being lived behind the townhouses and detached homes that fly past. Snatches of their music now come to mind when I find myself outside Toronto, on long, empty streets bookended by farmland, where it seems as if the big cities have ceased to exist. It has been three years since I encountered Downie, Rob Baker, Johnny Fay, Paul Langlois, and Gord Sinclair, and I now find myself turning to these songs with the kind of regularity one reserves for comfort food. That may be what fandom has always been about, of course, but I had never felt that need more than when I found myself in a country and culture radically different from what I had once called home. To be able to hum along made me happy, and feel a part of something bigger. The nicest thing about the Hip, for me, is how I slowly began to treat the band's music less as an artifact and more like a living companion. 26 Gord Downie quotes that will inspire you.It was the deceptive simplicity of the writing that moved me, an image of two young people sitting in a tree and celebrating the moment they were in. By the time I heard the original and watched the quietly absorbing music video, I knew this was something I wouldn't forget in a hurry. The first was "Ahead by a Century" from 1996's Trouble at the Henhouse, which I was first drawn to by a cover version performed by Tori Amos while she was on tour in Canada. Over the months that followed, as I adjusted to a new life, two specific songs gave me glimpses of what made Downie so special. How could a band that had performed for more than three decades, with more than 13 studio albums and 50 singles to its credit, not be world famous? How could I have heard of lesser groups that imploded soon after their debuts and not know about the Hip? The more time I spent looking for an answer, the easier it became to see why these unassuming rock stars from Ontario had turned their back on celebrity. The first surprise, once I started diving in, was how prolific the Hip had been. 'Love you Gord': F-ked Up covers the Tragically Hip's 'In View'. ![]() A brief history of Canada as told through popular lyrics.If the Hip wasn't as famous in Asia, was it simply because they didn't tour that part of the world as often as their peers did? Was it because Gord knew he already had a huge audience for everything he had to say? I could list the number of bands with that kind of influence on one hand: maybe the Grateful Dead, the Fall or Phish. What the Hip had done, almost effortlessly, was tap into the collective consciousness of a generation and take them along on a journey as enriching when it ended as when it began. Few had anything new to say after their third or fourth album, let alone their 10th. Anyone and anything that was commercially successful in America or Britain would inadvertently find its way to our shores, which meant that musicians doing anything out of the ordinary didn't stand a chance until the internet arrived to save us.Įvery rock band I knew - from Aerosmith to Nirvana - had been created by young people trying to connect with their peers. Bryan Adams was a rare example from Canada, but one so successful that he would eventually add India as a stop on every one of his world tours. There was Michael Jackson, of course, and Madonna, as well as bands like Guns 'N' Roses and Scorpions. What I had listened to while growing up reflected only what music companies thought we would all like to hear. I had arrived in Toronto from Mumbai to spend more time with family members who lived here. Who were these people, I wondered, and why had they left an entire country so bereft? It was the sort of respect traditionally reserved for heads of state, so I began spending as much time reading about the Hip as I did on job hunting. Duration 2:52 Remembering Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip.Īll around me that week, local venues dimmed their lights and audiences at hockey games stood in dedicated silence.
