Hello, it's Suzanne here today from Scrapbookingsue.com. I am so excited for today's post, as I get a chance to share my very own craft room with all of you! I will probably always consider it a "work in progress," as I add and delete new items, and try to match everything a bit better. However, it is well organized, functional, and utilizes a system that works for me! Also, I am a Close To My Heart Independent Consultant, which is yet another reason why my space has to be so functional, because it is not only for fun, but for business as well!
Since my blog has a TON of pictures showing my craft room (My Craft Space: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3), I have selected a sampling of pictures for this post. Please feel free to visit my blog for a more in-depth look at my room!
This is my main desk area, where I do most of my scrapbooking, stamping, painting, etc. Within arms reach, I keep my basic supplies (scissors, glue, distressing tools, etc.), stamp pads and cleaners, markers and colored pencils, ready-made cards and envelope bases in white and off-white, ribbon, and some basic embellishments.
Directly opposite the main desk is what I like to call my "Cricut desk." This desk holds an Expression 2 Cricut machine, a jar full of tools, a laptop computer, and a Canon Selphy picture printer. Oh yeah, there is a cute owl clipboard that I made as well… just for a pop of color for the picture!
Next to one of the windows, I have an IKEA 8-cubby storage unit. I have so many different types of things stored here, it would be hard to list them all. But perhaps most notable, the pink baskets on the top shelf hold some of my retired stamp sets. On top of the unit is my small ribbon storage. I wind the end pieces of ribbon around jumbo craft sticks.
I picked up these long pink baskets about 8 years or so ago at Walmart for $5 each. These baskets are the perfect size to hold my retired stamp sets that I plan to keep.
Above the storage unit, I keep this frame of cards. I made the frame myself by purchasing an old picture from Goodwill that had an ugly, but sturdy frame, and then re-purposing the frame with paint and crackle-medium. Very rustic!
On the other side of the window is the pegboard that I created earlier this year. As you can see, the board holds my decorative scissors, embellishments, a few tools, Mod Podge, and my embossing gun.
The final wall houses my very large IKEA 25-cubby storage unit, as well as my home-made paper rack. This large unit holds the majority of my scrapbooking supplies. All of my paper kits, pages in progress, albums in progress, vintage catalogs and retired paper colors have a home here. The paper rack holds all of my current CTMH papers, as well as my paper trimmers, craft mat, and score board on top.
Most of the storage in the middle section is from the Dollar Store. Trendy buckets, baskets and clear storage containers are both easy to find, and affordable. To see inside some of my storage containers, make sure to go to Part 3 of the craft room tour on my blog. The green and blue boxes are from Pioneer. I purchased them white and then painted them the colors in the my craft room to match.
Here is my entire collection of wooden rubber stamps! I'm sure that many of you have WAY more than this, but less than a year after I joined CTMH, they came out with the clear, unmounted stamps; therefore, I never really had time to amass a large quantity of rubber stamps.
And finally, here are my home-made sponge daubers. Although the quality is NOT great (they tend to tear and shred with continued use), I wanted so many of them that they have saved me a great deal of money over purchasing the name brand daubers. I use floral foam to hold them in place inside their containers.
Thank you so much for touring my craft room with me today! If you are interested in seeing a lot more pictures of this space, peeking inside some more of my boxes, or learning about my Craft Inventory Binder, then please join me over at my blog for Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of the tour!
Today I am sharing a craft room with you from one of my favorite bloggers – Jenn from Clean and Scentsible. She writes a blog all about crafting and organizing, so it is a perfect fit to share with our readers. Her space is the perfect mix of function, organization and pretty.
I love the way she organized her inspirational ideas pulled from magazines and books. She can easily find what she is looking for without paging through a ton of pages. And these files take up so much less space than all those magazines and books did!
The desk area is very well organized and functional as well. I love the wall treatment she used to really make her space feel special.
I love the use of the white furniture to really brighten up the space. She utilizes the Michael's Recollections storage cubes throughout her room. I have these myself and they are so great for storing scrapbook supplies as well as other crafting notions. They don't take up a lot of space but really can hold a lot.
Be sure to head over to Jenn's blog to see the full craft room reveal. You will be even more amazed after you the see the before of her space.
This is Cicily back with another craft room to share with you today.
This one is from the extremely talented Vicki Boutin of Creative Foundations. If her studio looks familiar, it was featured in Scrapbooks Etc!
I love her unique style of eclectic and found items.
Baskets and containers keep all the craft supplies organized and tucked away.
Re-purposed baskets and containers that hold crafty goodies add so much to a craft studio.

Today I am sharing a beautiful craft room with you from Jen-uinely Inspired. Her room is pretty and feminine. Her supplies are organized and lovely. I would love to create in her space! Actually, her 'CREATE' sign is what first drew me to this room. I have been wanting to make something similar for my crafting space!
She turned boring, standard plastic storage into something amazing. Look at these gorgeous fabric covered drawers!
Be sure to check out the rest of Jenny's craft space, and tell her Craft Storage Ideas sent you! She has some fabulous organization ideas!
We are so happy to welcome Brandy from Gluesticks!
Brandy is a mother of four and the wife to a member of the US Coast Guard. Having grown up with creative influences around her, she developed a love and appreciation for all things homemade. Every woman needs an outlet and Gluesticks is hers. On Gluesticks you will find crafts, recipes, kids activities and step by step tutorials for every skill level.
Let's give her a warm welcome!
Welcome to my home office/craft room/guest room. Yep, it has a lot of functions.
Originally this room was going to be our guest room. Complete with a full size bed and everything my grandmother would need when she came to stay with us on occasion, but then we realized that we don't have family come see us often, so I decided to not buy a bed, but create a space with room for a queen size air mattress when needed. I placed the furniture against the walls and will pull out the ottoman box under the window when we use the Aerobed air mattress. There is plenty of clearance in front and space in front of the closet and walking space around the sides. It isn't a very roomy guest room, but we had to maximize the functions and prioritize in this small space.
I didn't set a budget for this project because I am pretty frugal to begin with. My room is a mixture of old and new. Re-purposed and purchased. The sewing machine stand and printer stand were both headed to the trash when I decided to give them another life. You can find details on that project here.
Most of the accessories were purchased from IKEA and Pick Your Plum. The white bookshelf is also from IKEA.
The crowning jewel of my room is my Craft Box. The Original Scrapbox is a sponsor of Gluesticks and so I worked out a deal with them with cross promotion.
These strategies kept the cost for my room to a minimum.
My greatest challenge was storing all of my creative supplies AND still being able to have room for a guest bed, when necessary.
The solution to that challenge was been my Craft Box . It has solved so many organizational issues for me! Not only is it a beautiful piece of furniture, it transforms into a home office/craft space with just a few clicks. You can see a full video tour of my room and my Craft Box here!
I can store all of my sewing notions and supplies as well as my craft necessities.
When I am not crafting or sewing, I can use my table for my home office. When I'm done, I close it all off and it looks like a beautiful armoire. Stay tuned for more details on my Craft Box and a it's functionality. It is simply extraordinary.
My storage solutions are constantly evolving. My craft box will not evolve. It's functions will remain the same. However, This storage cube came from IKEA, along with the boxes. These are great because they are inexpensive (2 for $10), large, and hold my fabric! BUT…as the months have passed (and it's been a year since I decorated this room) I am realizing that I am accumulating way too much fabric. I am going to have to either buy more boxes and take over the rest of the cubes and maybe the top of the book case as well, or come up with another organizational solution for my fabric.
I would love to improve the storage area for my kid's craft supplies. They have almost as much as I do! They also have taken over my craft box, as seen here. Ha! Do your kids do this too? A lot of their supplies are in boxes in the closet and are easily forgotten. I pull them out and rotate them in a basket on their craft table every so often, but I would love for the kids to be able to access them easier. I am working on this!
Don't you love her space? And I really like seeing a craft box in action! What was your favorite part of Brandy's room? Show her some love! And don't forget to visit here Gluesticks!
I came across the prettiest craft room to share with you today. It's actually a 3-for-1, because it's owner shares the various updates she's made over the past few years. There was something to love from each arrangement she had. I hope you enjoy looking looking at the photos here, but be sure to check out her blog for even more photos of the variations of her studio.
Believe it or not, this is a "before" photo of her craft room. It's hard to imagine that she would need or want to improve on what she has here, but she downsized her crafting supplies and asked her husband to help her move her craft room to another location in their house – which he did.
Her new room is located in their "Great Room," complete with fireplace and view of their garden.
Be sure to check out all the goodness she has stashed away in her repurposed hutch!
Bright, clean and cheerful. I hope you'll check out all the studio photos at Shabby Story!
Hi there! It's Noelle today with a furniture review for you. I decided to review the E-Z View Desk by the Original Scrapbox. I actually remember seeing this a few years back in a scrapbook magazine. I really LOVED the clear top and the compartmentalized places to stash all your embellishments! If I remember correctly, at the time they didn't have so many options to customize this desk. I'm really digging on having this storage in the side you can pull out without opening a door!
Now, I actually don't have one of these…. But would you like to come down a little daydreaming path with me where I customize my own? I would love to pretend, for just a few minutes, that I have budget available to buy this gorgeous desk…. And, if anyone from the Original Scrapbox would like to send me a complimentary "sample" of one of these desks, you can bet I would not turn that down! 😉 LOL.
Ok, well most of the furniture in my studio is black, so I personally prefer the black finish, though the white is very pretty too. I currently have my desk (a writing desk) in the corner of the room and would probably stick with that same configuration, so I would want the left hand side of the desk to have that access on the side, and the right hand side…. Maybe a filing drawer for some of my 8 1/2" x 11″cardstock??
Well, maybe not, maybe a simple shelf would work better. Then I could put all my Cropper Hopper Paper Pouches inside. Love how you can figure out what would work best for your space!
I think my most favorite part is the clear top that houses all your smaller goodies. No more small things sitting out getting spilled, no more looking in 84 places for a red eyelet, or a gold brad.
So, that was my little daydream! Thanks for coming with me! 😉 What is YOUR dream piece of studio furniture? We'd love to know here at CSI, leave us a comment below. Have a wonderful day!
Good morning! I'm thinking you are going to love today's guest post! Here's Genevive!
I'm Genevive Badilla – Rulona, a Filipino based in Singapore, wife to my very supportive and loving husband Benjo Rulona, and mom of two adorable boys Rujim and Miguel. I am a teacher by profession but motherhood and scrapbooking changed my career plans. I am now a busy stay-at-home-mom, taking care of my boys, maintaining my online craft store, ThoughtfulCrafts.
Welcome to my "happy place". So thankful to my dear husband for approving and supporting my hobby and passion to the point that he allowed me to use part of our dining area as my studio. I used to be in this room but I decided to shift outside so I can use the bigger table when I have workshops (yes I conduct a class of four here!), but more than that, I like to see my kids while doing my stuff and they won't think their Mommy is hiding in her room all the time haha..
I must turn the lights on when I work and I must go outdoors to take photos of my projects. So when I will have my own place someday, that's the first thing I must keep in mind!
If we will be blessed to have our own place in God's time, I would like the wall to be painted white instead of orange, I will get rid of those boxes under my work table (by using up those papers fast!) and think about a better way to organize my punches.
…out of sight, out of mind. I use washi tapes all the time and I believe it's because they are right in front of me when I create.
… I put all my dies at the bottom because they are heavy. These bookcases will curve over time when you put heavy stuff on them.
… those white boxes hold my ribbons and embellishments.
I really do love Genevive's room! It's perfect! And I love that it's not hidden away, but in plain sight so she can still interact with her family! Be sure to visit Genevive's blog for more details about how she works!
Hello! Welcome to my latest craft room feature! This room has to be one of the most well-thought out, highly functional rooms I've come across! Scrapping Klo designed and had this room built to her specifications. I hope you'll find it as inspiring as I do!
What an awesome transformation here, making the very most from the inset that is the closet in this room! But just wait – it gets even more amazing!
Pull out drawers in cabinets make for concealed, yet handy, storage.
Those aren't just cabinet doors, they are each carefully designed drawers, that accommodate everything imaginable! Check out the photos here for more details.
This is her storage adjacent to her computer work station. Once again, the use of slide out drawers and platforms makes using and storing her equipment and supplies quick and easy!
More ingenious, space-saving ideas – the wall mounted work station. Not only does it provide a great space to actually work on, it doubles as wall storage for all her paints and glitters, etc. Be sure to check out her blog to find out how you could have one of these for your very own!
There are just too many amazing ideas in this one craft space – you need to check it out for yourself! Just follow this link for a really great "tour" of Scrappin Klo's craft room.

Q: Is there a built-in test for whether a string (or handle) refers to a script? The function below is a homegrown hack to detect whether its argument refers to a script or not
function yesno = is_script(string_or_handle)
    try
        nargin(string_or_handle);
        yesno = false;
    catch me
        if ~strcmp(me.identifier, 'MATLAB:nargin:isScript')
            rethrow(me);
        end
        yesno = true;
    end
end

Such hacks are hard to maintain.  (This one will break, for example, whenever MathWorks decides to change the class of exception identifier that nargin throws when it gets a script as input.)
Does MATLAB already have a built-in function to do this?

A: You could modify your hack to be less prune to future "breaking" by running the try-catch block only for function handles. In this case you would know that if an error if thrown, then the input handle is a script (no need to investigate error details; hence no sensitivity to exception identifiers).
function yesno = is_script(string_or_handle)
    yesno = false;
    if isa(string_or_handle,'function_handle') || ...
        exist(string_or_handle,'file') == 2
        try
            nargin(string_or_handle);
        catch me
            yesno = true;
        end
    end
end

A: Loren from MathWorks has a blog article about exactly this question from back in 2013.
She uses the same method as you do in your question - and for what it's worth, the message identifier is the same and hasn't changed in at least three years (in fact it's a lot longer than that), so I think you can stop worrying about your solution.
Usefully, Loren also adds an extra piece of functionality to distinguish class files, as well as functions and scripts.

Starting January 28th, Horizon is starting The Great Kindness Challenge. Kindness challenges aren't a competition to see who can complete them the fastest; they have actual meaning. Telling someone they have a nice shirt without any real thought behind it is not improving anyone's life. To give a proper compliment, you need meaningful expression and passion.
After all, kindness truly does make an impact. It boosts people's confidence when you compliment their attire or look of the day. Most people act like they take kindness as a joke on the outside, but on the inside, are heavily impacted when they get a real compliment. This is why it's important to show your kindness, even when you think someone may not want or need it. Through the Great Kindness Challenge students will "perform as many kind deeds as you can in one week." This is all to focus on giving those compliments, helping your peers, and improving the environment around you. Most of these challenges don't even take much time out of your day to do. These challenges consist of simple goals like smiling at 25 people, or even just making a new friend. Sure, blowing off these random acts of kindness is an easy thing to do, but the sense of good from making someone else's day better far outweighs any sense of laziness or lethargy.
This week, the Kindness Crew is hosting specially-themed spirit days to spread kindness throughout the school.
Demonstrate your commitment to kindness by wearing your favorite hat.
Demonstrate your commitment to kindness by wearing your favorite "comfy" clothes.
Demonstrate your commitment to kindness by wearing your favorite hair, clothes, socks, ect.
Demonstrate your commitment to kindness by wearing your favorite sports/team attire.
Demonstrate your commitment to kindness by wearing your favorite beach attire. Be someone else's sunshine today!
MS- During School Hours- Radio Club Music, Final Fundraiser Day!
HS- During School Hours- Finish Your Checklist! Final Fundraiser Day!
Horizon makes outstanding efforts to spread kindness. Hosting events such as The Great Kindness Challenge really show the effort Horizon puts in to making our school a more positive environment. To view all the other challenges and help participate, visit GreatKindnessChallenge.org.


Bioclimatic landscape planning and design have developed in the last decades, even if some principles date back to the civilizations of the ancient world. The aim of bioclimatic design is to ensure an optimal level of human comfort compared to the microclimate conditions. Thus, bioclimatic landscape design is strongly related to the security level of individuals and human communities. In this context, the research is focused on deepening the relationship between bioclimatic landscape architecture and the human security paradigm. By correlating the two notions, the necessity to develop the bioclimatic security concept as a complex tool for quantifying and enhancing the impact of urban green infrastructure on the human comfort is identified and analysed. In terms of methodology, the research is based on synthesizing and correlating the current knowledge in several fields such as horticulture, urban forestry, landscape architecture, human bioclimatology and human security. Thus, various studies regarding the impact of urban vegetation on the microclimate and on human health were analysed. Bioclimatic factors and variables that influence the state of human comfort, as well as the health and environmental dimensions of human security have been studied. This study presents and argues several proposals regarding the definition of the bioclimatic security concept in the context of human security, the classification of the variables of bioclimatic security, the classification of green infrastructure typologies according to the bioclimatic impact of urban vegetation, and the development of specific bioclimatic indicators applicable in landscape architecture. The conclusions reveal the potential to develop specific bioclimatic planning and design guidelines concerning urban green infrastructure and also to improve the methodologies developed so far.


Students at Rosewood Elementary in Rock Hill were briefly evacuated from class Tuesday morning after a hallway electric heater caught fire.
The fire was reported around 11:15 a.m. when people in the school smelled the heater burning, district spokeswoman Elaine Baker said.
The school conducted a fire drill, and all students were safely evacuated. No one was injured.
The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reports that fines for those committing administrative infractions, including not wearing a helmet while riding within city limits, breaking the juvenile curfew and several others were set at $100.
Those rules take effect Feb. 28, a date changed by the council after City Manager Tom Leath asked for more time to set up the administrative hearing court that will take care of such cases.


Any Torontonians try Buffalo for iMacs?
Local dealers say it's another 6-8 weeks for the iMac. And that's for the Superdrive model.
Do Apple Retail stores receive stock first? If so, might it be best to call and try them?
Buffalo (Walden Galleria Mall) is only a 2 1/2 hour drive away. Anyone in Torontonians try this approach?
What about Buffalonians? Honestly, I don't know what they've got, since I haven't been there in a couple of weeks.
I purchased a superdrive on March 8th at the Galleria store after waiting for Macconnection since Jan. 25th.. To make a short story long, I catalog-ordered for the extra memory (256 MB) and the lack of sales tax (big savings). After three promised ship dates came and went, I called the Apple Store on March 8th. They had 16 in stock and would hold one for me that day. I made the trip immediately after school, picked up my sweet new machine, and have loved life ever since.
Nice to see a local around here, jcat22! I thought I was the only one!
Thanks for the welcome. From the looks at the Galleria store, there are many more locals.

Q: Solarized colors inside terminal emacs I trying to setup the solarized color scheme for Emacs running in terminal mode. I use
https://github.com/bbatsov/solarized-emacs.git 's solarized-dark theme. However while this works for desktop windows the colors are modified when running in terminal mode emacs -nw:

The color is a dark blue while the standard background for solarized dark
is dark and geenish:

The standard background color #002b36 is defined here. I tried to change it but there seem to be an interpolation layer inside Emacs that changes it to blue unless I change it to something more different like black.
Does anyone know howto configure Emacs to support more color shades?
I'm running inside Kconsole but can see the same behaviour in gnome-terminal.

A: By default terminal works in 16 colors mode. You have to set environment variable TERM:

Following the journey of Sheldon Hoffman, a reclusive Jewish accountant in his 40s, as he attempts to fulfill his mother's last wishes by transporting her ashes back to Munich to be reunited with his father where he died in the holocaust. Upon his arrival in Germany (c.1974), Sheldon is confronted by a web of German bureaucracy, confiscation, misplacement, and redirection of his mother's ashes, a manhunt and a kidnapping. Ironically, it all leads to a final reunification with his parents … in the spiritual sense, of course. For more details, visit www.arkansaspublictheatre.org.


Breakout with volume above M5. This is a good buy with a breakout and fast stochastic above slow stochastic. It will target resistance at RM0.615 and RM0.710. Cut loss at RM0.500.
My recommendation is buy if tomorrow price is above 0.535 and ride until we see a bearish divergence.

by Michael S. Bandy and Eric Stein, Illustrated by Shadra Strickland
An NAACP Image Award Honored Book
Publication Date: Aug 23, 2011
Classification: Children's
Imprint: Candlewick Press
Publisher: Walker Books
Parent Company: Walker Books
Book Description:For a young boy growing up in the segregated south, a town drinking fountain becomes the source of an epiphany. It's a scorching hot day, and going into town with Grandma is one of Michael's favorite things. When the bus pulls up, they climb in and pay their fare, get out, walk to the back door, and climb in again. By the time they arrive in town, Michael's throat is as dry as a bone, so he runs to the water fountain. But after a few sips, the warm, rusty water tastes bad. Why is the kid at the ""Whites Only"" fountain still drinking? Is his water clear and refreshingly cool? No matter how much trouble Michael might get into, he's determined to find out for himself. Based on a transformative experience co-author Michael Bandy had as a boy, this compelling story sheds light on the reality of segregation through a child's eyes, while showing the powerful awareness that comes from daring to question the way things are.

In 1516, Erasmus of Rotterdam's version of the New Testament, featuring the editio princeps of the Greek text, a revised Latin translation and comprehensive annotations, was published by Johann Froben in Basel.

Angel Adedokun plays a woman with a string of bad in "Iron Shoes," playing at Berkeley's Ashby Stage.
You can't really understand the struggle of a Slavic folk tale heroine until you've walked hundreds upon hundreds of miles in her impossibly heavy iron shoes.
That's more of less the upshot of "Iron Shoes," Shotgun Players and Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble's world premiere folk opera inspired by three different Eastern European fairy tales that all come down to their virtuous heroines being cursed to walk the earth until they've worn out three pairs of iron shoes.
It's an often dazzling piece, with a poetic and funny libretto by playwright Michelle Carter, bewitching movement choreographed by director Erika Chong Shuch, and lush continuous Eastern European-style choral vocals composed by music director Janet Kutulas of Kitka and delivered by the omnipresent ensemble from which various characters emerge.
It's all held together by a humorously matter-of-fact narrator played with seemingly unflappable assurance by Beth Wilmurt. Or at least she tries to hold it together. When the stories start spinning out of control and forcing her to get involved, we find out she's not quite so unflappable after all. She's followed by two similarly dressed apprentices, one of whom (Rowena Richie) soon goes rogue and joins the story, playing a falcon with dancerly abandon, while the other (Erolina Kamburova) calmly observes and takes notes.
Plucked from fairy tales from Russia and Romania —"The Enchanted Pig," "The Armless Maiden" and "Finist the Falcon"— the protagonists have a lot in common besides their heavy footwear. They're all "good girls" who become cursed because of something they were either tricked into doing or were framed for.
The First Girl (earnest and enthusiastic Sharon Shao) is infatuated with a falcon until her two evil sisters ruin everything. The Second Girl (forceful and charismatic Angel Adedokun) is a princess who has to marry a pig (amusingly strutting Erin Mei-Ling Stuart) and is tricked by a madly cackling crone (Kitka executive director Shira Cion) into making matters much worse.
The Third Girl (mournfully ululating Caitlin Tabancay Austin) endures such a cavalcade of woe that the narrator is too shaken by her presence to even go into the details. Suffice it to say that having her arms chopped off by her brother (because his wife framed the sister for her own horrific misdeeds) was only the beginning of her troubles, and not nearly the most heartbreaking part.
It's a beautifully designed production, from Allen Willner's lovely atmospheric lighting to Sean Riley's fanciful ivy-lined set with cool, weathered-looking geometric patterns on the floor. Alina Bokovikova's costumes range from the drab gray tunics of the ensemble to dazzlingly flashy getups for the only man in the 15-member cast, Travis Santell Rowland, as the amusingly mincing mothers of the moon, the sun and the wind. The music is marvelous, and the movement and imagery add greatly to the play's mythic resonance.
The narrative is confusing at times, sometimes because the movement and song don't quite speak for themselves as to what exactly is going on, and other times because the logic of the narrator's role in the second half is left a little fuzzy. The second act seems less tightly constructed than the first, and the play doesn't really have an ending, just a dramatic change of mood to close out the evening. Even so, the journey to get there is often so magical, entertaining and touching along the way that not quite being able to discern exactly where we've ended up is hardly the end of the world.

She became a prima ballerina not only because of her brilliance but also because of her over-bearing mum who also happens to be her creative director, Natalie. The book starts with Cason feeling pain in her thigh while rehearsing for her audition. During her audition for the New York-based American Ballet Theatre, she broke her leg. Soon after, she found out that she has an aggressive form of cancer called Ewings Sarcoma and with that, her dream of becoming a dancer for the American Ballet Theatre is gone.
Davis Channing is a cancer survivor and a recovering drug addict. He's sentenced to community service in the hospital wing for cancer patients. Although he has been sober for almost a year, he still fights with his demon and the thoughts of taking drugs "just once" is always in his mind, especially when things got tough. It doesn't help that his ex-girlfriend, who is also an addict, keeps on popping up to see him; asking him for a fix or begging him to pay Ethan – Davis' ex-dealer. His ex-girlfriend also always tells him that she's an addict because of him whenever she's trying to manipulate him for drugs or money, causing him to feel guilty.
The story begins when the two meet when Cason is in chemotherapy and Davis is doing his community service. The two have heard of each other because they both go to the same school; although they barely see each other because Cason missed schools due to her ballet schedules. Their friendship developed slowly and organically. Davis is drawn to Cason the moment he saw her. The two soon bonded over cancer and Davis always tries to help Cason overcome her fear and worries. Cason also soon finds herself cares of Davis more than she's care to admit.
Honestly, I don't think my words are enough to tell you how beautifully written this book is. Throughout the book, you'll see how the two try to navigate this new chapter in their life; Cason being an amputee who may never dance again and Davis who's trying to stay sober. They are each other anchor. Every word written feels raw. You can feel Cason's anger that this happens to her. You can feel her fear and confusion of losing not just her ability to dance but also who she is. You can feel how hard Davis tries to stay sober, how hard he fights his thoughts and find ways to focus on what truly matters to distract himself from ever wanting to take the pills again.
It's been a while since I read a book that truly stirs my emotions and Brave Enough did just that. I couldn't help but to root for Cason and Davis, for Cason to get through her cancer, get through her confusion, and feel happy and confident again in herself. For Davis to stay sober, to erase his guilts, and not feeling like he lets everyone he loves down.
The side characters are also very fun to read about. Noah, Mari, Jase, and Heather are truly wonderful additions to the story. They bring the support that Cason and Davis need. Mari and Noah are also amputees and having them around definitely help Cason to be more comfortable and explore her options. There was a part of this book where Noah, Jase, and Davis talk about being a cancer survivor and amputee for Noah and how it defines their life. I think that part of the book gives someone like me, who never has any experience with disabilities, a perspective of how it is for them. How people treat them differently if they know their stories.
Brave Enough is a book need to be read by everyone. It's rare to come across books that has representations for cancer survivor, amputees, and recovering drug addict. The quote above is from the author note. I was surprised to read that Kati Gardner herself is a cancer survivor. I think that is one of the many factors on why this book is amazing. She knows how it feels and she is able to share those feelings through this character.
I would recommend everyone to read this book. I think people with disabilities, cancer, or cancer survivors who read this book will be able to relate to the struggle and the emotions these characters go through. For those who are not, this book will give you an insight to a life so many people live that we are not familiar with.


I saw the videos on the Whites web page where the guy pours a gallon of water on the machine. However, I was wondering what about where the headphone plug in at the rear of the machine. So if it starts raining and I decide to stay in the field, Do I have worry about water getting in the headphone port with headphones plugged in?
I saw the video. It was for the MX7. It's supposed to be weather proof, not water proof like the MX Sport. I've hunted with it in light snow but not in the rain. If you take out the battery pack from the back compartment, and take a look inside, it will give you a good idea of how it is made where the headphone plugs in. Personally, I would not hunt with it in the rain with wired headphones attached. It's almost certain that water will seep in. I would either use the speaker and plug the headphone jack with supplied cap or put a large ziplock over the back part so the water is forced to travel away from the plug when headphones are used.That's how I used mine in the snow.
I've never covered the control box/screen on mine. Judging from the video they posted, it must have some type of gasket or seal preventing water from going in the box.
There are aftermarket covers that will work quite well with it but I don't know how waterproof they are.

Coronavirus (COVID-19): Cabinet Secretary for Justice statement, 17 June 2020
Coronavirus in Scotland, Coronavirus in Scotland, Law and order
Statement to Parliament given by the Cabinet Secretary for Justice, Humza Yousaf MSP, on the response of Scotland's justice system to COVID-19, on Wednesday 17 June.
Presiding Officer, today I wish to take the opportunity to update this Parliament on how Scotland's justice system has responded to the challenges posed by COVID-19 and the next steps which will have to be taken to allow the system to recover and renew.
Reflecting on how challenging the past few months have been, and the immense pressure everyone working in the justice sector is under, I would like to start by paying tribute to the adaptability, resilience and hard work of everyone across all justice agencies and those on the front-line for their response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The dedication and commitment of those who make the wheels of justice turn have enabled Scotland's justice system to respond quickly to the significant challenges posed by the COVID-19 outbreak.
I would also like to thank the people of Scotland for largely adhering to the measures that are in place to keep everyone safe, but COVID has not gone away and I urge everyone to continue to comply with the essential public health measures to help us curb, control and curtail the spread of this dangerous virus.
Presiding Officer, we are under no illusions when we consider the major impact that COVID has had on the justice system. I want to highlight to members the key role of the national Justice Board to drive forward our recovery efforts as we move through each key phase, as part of our 4-phase lockdown exit 'roadmap'.
The Justice Board, engaging with victims, legal professionals and others, is overseeing the progress of activity to ensure the recovery, renewal and transformation of the Justice system as we progress through and beyond our COVID-19 route map. This recognises that significant progress was made very quickly in response to the Covid-19 outbreak, and that should be regarded as the foundations for the work still to be done.
The Lord Advocate and I co-chaired a meeting of the Victim's Taskforce last week where we heard from members the importance they attach to being involved in the development of these changes. There were also some very clear anxieties expressed from victims' organisations which we are determined to act upon.
The approach recognises that transformation across the system has been accelerated to enable essential business to be conducted in the early stages of the outbreak; that substantial work is on-going to re-establish service provision, obviously in line with public health guidance. And that further extensive transformation will be required to enable the system to operate whilst living with the implications of COVID-19 going forward.
I will now turn to provide some detail of what is happening across the various justice organisations.
The police have been on the front line in this emergency, supporting one of the most effective tools we have to control the spread of the virus, namely physical distancing.
There have been very good levels of compliance, because almost every individual knows that this is a collective endeavour.
And we know that the public is very supportive of the way in which the police have dealt with the situation. We know that from surveys of the Scottish Police Authority, Police Scotland's own surveys, and from the work of the Independent Advisory Group on the policing of the COVID-19 regulations, which is chaired by John Scott QC. We know that they have come back with high levels of confidence in policing. In fact the very existence of this group is a symbol of the openness and accountability of our police service in Scotland.
The recent policing of the Black Lives Matter events shows this approach is the right one. Here was a clear balance between the need for sensitive policing and the imperative to keep people safe.
Both I and the Chief Constable made plain our views that people should not attend these events and that people should find other ways of protesting. But, given that a significant number of people did gather in different parts of Scotland, the approach of Police Scotland reflected that balance very well.
I also believe that the last few months have confirmed beyond all doubt that Scotland is most effectively policed by a single, national service that is able to extend that common-sense and empathetic approach across the whole country.
The fundamental principles of policing will not change over the coming months, although I would judge that the specific role of the police will inevitably change as we move further out of lockdown, with more of a focus on business as usual and core policing duties.
Considering the shameful scenes of disorder Police Scotland had to deal with on Sunday, and the separate, horrific incident which left two officers serious injured, I hope everyone across this Chamber renews their appreciation of the incredible job our police officers are doing to keep us safe.
Turning to court business, in a short number of weeks, Scotland's Courts have resumed many of their services.
They have enabled virtual courts to be held in the Court of Session Inner House, and High Court criminal appeals and remote hearings to be held in the Outer House. Sheriff Courts and Mental Health Tribunals have also had remote hearings take place.
New digital approaches have been introduced, allowing cases to be progressed across the Sheriff Civil courts and the All Scotland Personal Injury Court, and commissary proceedings have been restarted through remote working.
Protocols have been introduced in the courts to ensure physical distancing is maintained where attendance is required, with practice notes in place allowing remote representation to minimise attendance in court by solicitors and Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service staff.
Alongside the hard work and ingenuity of Scottish Court and Tribunal Service staff and of the legal profession, many of these innovative approaches could only be utilised because of the new legislative provisions that we brought forward. So it is also to Parliament's credit that such measures could be put in place so quickly.
Going forward, the SCTS has announced a 3-stage approach to restarting civil business, which prioritises urgent business and tackling the backlog.
There are 15 hub sheriff courts operating, which are dealing with custodies and have been helping to reduce court sitting times. All sheriff courts reopened on 2 June and have restarted processing local business this week.
Last week virtual summary trials were commenced in two locations, supporting future arrangements for summary trials to be conducted remotely.
The Restarting Solemn Trials Working Group, led by the Lord Justice Clerk Lady Dorrian, has made swift progress in identifying the steps needed for jury trials to commence in Edinburgh and Glasgow in July. Although this will involve very small numbers at first, the aim is to establish a sustainable approach that can allow as many trials as possible to progress, consistent with a fair justice system while protecting the health of all those involved.
In terms of the prison service, SPS has taken rapid and responsive action to ensure that physical distancing and public health protocols have been met, putting in place a robust plan to manage COVID-19 and to prevent its spread.
I would hope members across the Chamber would join with me in thanking our hard-working prison officers and staff for the incredible job they have done to prevent a COVID-19 crisis in our prisons.
At its peak we had approximately 100 individuals self-isolating with a number of positive cases confirmed. As of last night there were no confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 in Scottish prisons and just 9 individuals self-isolating across 5 establishments. This is a significant achievement by our prison and health staff.
As we see lockdown measures start to ease in our wider communities, the prison service is developing a phased approach to the easing of restrictions across the estate, while ensuring operational stability and safety and wellbeing of everyone in our prisons.
In terms of family contact we continue to recognise the impact of the restrictions in our prisons and the impact that has particularly on families.
Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons has implemented a remote monitoring framework and inspection liaison visits to ensure oversight and monitoring of conditions in prisons as a result of COVID-19.
But as I say, we recognise very much the effect and the impact that the suspension of visits has had on families and the prison service has been working hard to introduce alternatives for maintaining vital family contact.
Following the laying of amended prison rules in Parliament earlier this week, the first virtual visits by family and friends took place yesterday for some of those in custody at Polmont, Cornton Vale and Shotts. We anticipate that virtual visits will be available in all of our prisons by the end of the month.
In addition, restricted mobile phones are being introduced in Cornton Vale and Polmont this week and then across the entire estate – with the exception of HMP Kilmarnock, which is implementing an in-cell landline solution – over the next month or so as another way of enabling vital family contact during this difficult time.
The prison service will ensure implementation of virtual visits and mobile phones is done in a way which is practical and safe – for those in custody, their families, and those in the wider community.
The prison population – which, as members will be aware, was of particular concern before the pandemic – has reduced by around 15% since March to under 7,000, largely as a result of the downturn in court business, but obviously aided by the early release arrangements put in place as well.
This was completed, on schedule, on 1 June and saw a total of 348 prisoners released early.
However, in light of the continuing arrival of new remand prisoners, and the gradual reopening of the courts, we must continue to monitor the prison population and ensure that its reduction is not short-lived.
The key aims of the early release process – to take necessary and proportionate action to support the safe operation of prisons and to protect the health and wellbeing of those who live and work in them – remain very much a priority.
As I conclude shortly Presiding Officer, I want to make the important reference to the fact that all of us have at the forefront of our minds, in particular victims and survivors of domestic abuse.
And I want to reassure victims of all crime that action will continue to be taken against perpetrators of crime and they will continue to be brought to justice.
I think it is worth noting from the conversations I have with the Chief Constable multiple times a week that I am reassured by Police Scotland's commitment, as well as our support organisations' commitment, to do what we can to support those who are in a difficult position at home in relation to domestic abuse.
We also have a focus on cyber-crime, as we know that serious organised crime groups have been looking to exploit the current COVID-19 pandemic, and we are making sure we put our efforts in that regard.
In conclusion, Presiding Officer, I'd like to assure this Parliament and the people of Scotland that the justice system is continuing to operate and support our citizens through this time and as we navigate our way out of lockdown.
I think members will no doubt join me in paying tribute to the hard work undertaken by all in the justice system in supporting a safe, just and resilient Scotland.
