Harford County Public Schools – Department of Special Education believes that individuals with disabilities achieve their full potential in a comprehensive and coordinated birth to 21 system of services emphasizing high expectations for all.
Harford County Public Schools – Department of Special Education provides leadership, supports, and accountability for results to all stakeholders by way of a seamless, comprehensive system of coordinated services to children, students and youth with disabilities, birth to 21, and their families.
Special Education at a Glance
Special Education in Harford County Public Schools is a collaborative effort involving schools, families and community agencies working together to ensure a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to all children with disabilities, birth through age 21. Special education is defined as specially designed instruction, provided at no cost to parents, in order to meet the unique needs of a child with an educational or developmental disability. Services are provided in the least restrictive environment (LRE), to the maximum extent possible.
A Child with a Disability or Student with a Disability means a child, birth to age 21, evaluated in accordance with IDEA or COMAR having any of the following disabilities, causing an adverse effect on the child's educational performance resulting in the need of special education and related services:
Deaf-blindness
Specific Learning Disability
Speech or Language Impairment
Visual Impairment (including Blindness)
Special education services are available in all Harford County Public Schools and across a range of learning environments.The district's processes and procedures for disability determination, placement and service delivery align with federal and State regulations. Harford County Public Schools utilizes the Statewide IEP Process Guide as the framework for student educational planning and compliance with the Requirements of the 2004 Reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Child Find is a special education service provided by Harford County Public Schools to identify children with disabilities, birth to age 21, who are suspected of having an educational disability and may be in need of special education and related services. Child Find Services are provided year-round, at no-cost. Preschool children residing in Harford County who are not enrolled in a preschool program as well as children ages 3 – 21 attending an MSDE approved private/parochial school located in Harford County are eligible to receive Child Find services.
The Harford County Public Schools' Child Find process includes referral, prescreening to determine the need for assessment, an initial evaluation or reevaluation to determine eligibility and the development of an IEP or Service Plan upon eligibility for special education services. This process begins with a referral to the HCPS Child Find Center initiated by the parent or by an individual familiar with the child's development (with parent consent). Parents of children enrolled in Harford County Public Schools, should contact their local school if they suspect their child may have a disability requiring special education services.
Parents of children, who are not yet three, may contact the Harford County Infants and Toddlers Program at 410 638-3823 for inquiries about accessing services.
Birth to Five Services and Supports
The Harford County Infants and Toddlers Program, serving children with disabilities, birth through age 3 to 4* is a countywide system of coordinated, interagency, multidisciplinary early intervention services. Through family centered services, parents and caregivers are provided guidance and coaching to help their child be successful at home and in the community.
Parents or other individuals who are concerned about a child's development may make a referral to the Harford County Infants and Toddlers Program at 410-638-3823 or through the Maryland Infants and Toddlers online referral link at https://referral.mditp.org/. Upon referral, developmental evaluations are completed to determine eligibility for early intervention services. Health and developmental needs may be identified in the areas of: hearing; speech; language; physical development; cognitive development; social-emotional development; and/or self-help skills.
Children, birth through age 3 to 4*, are eligible to receive Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) services, if a developmental delay or diagnosed condition that has a high probability of resulting in developmental delay is identified during the IFSP Team Process. The IFSP provides the "what, when, where, why, and how" of early intervention services to be provided to the child with a disability and his/her family. The IFSP is implemented and monitored by staff of the Harford County Infants and Toddlers Program. Prior to the child's third birthday, a transition planning meeting is scheduled to discuss the continued need for early intervention services (IFSP) for children birth to age 3, an extended IFSP option or the transition to preschool special education services, addressed by the Individual Educational Program (IEP) are also available for children with disabilities, ages 3 to 4* years old.
*Children ages 3-4 are provided services through Harford County Infants and Toddlers Program upon meeting the requirements of the Maryland Extended Individual Family Service Plan options.

Age 3 through 21
Harford County Public Schools uses a team process to determine whether a child is a student with a disability requiring specialized instructional supports and services. Parents are valued and essential members of this collaborative team. The Individual Education Program (IEP) Team determines eligibility of a child for special education and related services by means of a comprehensive evaluation process, which includes a range of data sources including, as appropriate: academic or developmental performance; communication; general intelligence; health, including hearing and vision; motor abilities; and social, emotional or behavioral status. If a child is determined to have an educational disability requiring special education services, an IEP is developed by the school staff with input from the parents. The IEP identifies the child's present levels of academic achievement and functional performance, measurable annual goals and short term benchmarks, a statement of special education and related services necessary to implement the IEP.
Harford County Public Schools provides for a continuum of special education services and placement considerations. Service delivery and placement options are based upon the needs identified in the IEP and are a result of the IEP Team decision-making process.
Special Education Service Delivery
Harford County Public Schools seeks to improve the performance of all children with disabilities and assist in narrowing achievement gaps by ensuring equal access to curriculum and differentiated instruction in the least restrictive environment. The service delivery continuum includes: consultative supports; inclusion utilizing a co-teaching model; resource or related services provision outside of the general education setting; self-contained learning environments; regional programs or a separate day school placement. Programming options include:
Infants and Toddlers:
Services provided to children with disabilities and their families, birth to age 3 to 4, in home, community or center-based settings.
Preschool Services:
A continuum of services provided to children with disabilities, ages 3 to 5, in community or school-based settings.

Harford County Public Schools (HCPS) is pleased to announce Joppatowne High School has been approved by the Department of the Army to establish a U.S. Army Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) program, effective February 1, 2023.

Applications will be available Tuesday, January 17, 2023, through Friday, February 10, 2023, on hcps.org and in all middle school counseling offices.
Click here to watch a Parent Academy Real Talk about JROTC in HCPS!
In May 2016, the Board of Education of Harford County approved the submission of the JROTC application and the establishment of the program at Joppatowne High School. Strong support was provided from the Military Officers Association of America; Susquehanna Chapter; and numerous local, state, and federal leaders for instituting a program at Joppatowne High. Joppatowne High was the first school in the nation to offer a high school curriculum program for Homeland Security. The Homeland Security Emergency Preparedness Program is a signature curriculum that is affiliated with internships and instruction from area colleges and civil defense agencies. JROTC is an excellent addition to the program.
Harford County is the proud home of Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG). APG is the largest employer in the county and is a critical US Army research, development, test, and evaluation installation. In 2017, APG and the surrounding community celebrated the 100th anniversary of APG as a national military garrison. This year, Harford County celebrates a 250-year anniversary. Launching the JROTC program in Harford County is a great addition and way to continue to celebrate Harford County's legacy.

MSDE Approves Application for Virtual Instruction on 3 Inclement Weather Days
The following message is being sent to all contacts in our mass notification system via phone, email, and text message at 5:00 p.m., Thursday, December 8, 2022:
The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) approved the HCPS application to conduct asynchronous virtual instruction on up to 3 inclement weather days. HCPS staff are diligently working to prepare a "practice" of what this will look like. That practice is scheduled for the evening of Monday, January 9, 2023. Prekindergarten students will receive a bag of supplies when the bags are delivered. Students in kindergarten through grade 12 will bring their device home January 9, 2023; as part of their homework, they must log into their inclement weather tile, which will appear on Canvas, and send a confirmation message to the teacher. The HCPS curriculum offices is creating the assignment that every single student will do that will be a quick confirmation that they were able to get in.
If your school needs to adjust the systemwide asynchronous virtual instruction plan, they will reach out to your directly with additional information.
Please note, if there is a need to close HCPS for inclement weather PRIOR to January 9, we will NOT utilize virtual instruction. Following the practice on the evening of January 9, HCPS plans to conduct asynchronous virtual instruction on the first 3 closures for inclement weather.
Families can expect additional details to be available on hcps.org, including information about where to access asynchronous virtual instruction, what time it will be available, as well as a Parent Academy video with additional details. This will be available prior to the January 9, 2022 scheduled "practice."
Again, MSDE approved the HCPS application for asynchronous virtual instruction on inclement weather days and we look forward to having a very brief systemwide "practice" after school on Monday, January 9, 2023. Additional details will be made available as soon as possible.

Use of Force Simulation Lab for police training opens in Brandon, Man.
The Manitoba government, Assiniboine Community College and the Brandon Police Service (BPS) have partnered to develop a Use of Force Simulation Lab, which has been officially opened at the college's Victoria Avenue East campus in Brandon.
"This simulation lab will be an invaluable training resource for police service personnel in the Westman region," Justice Minister Heather Stefanson said in a news release.
The 7,000-square foot space allows for complete scenario training exercises to be deployed using a life-sized video screen, shoot back cannon and a digital control room. The simulation technology makes it possible for trained officers and employees to decide how the scenario plays out in real-time, guided by the responses and actions of the trainee.
"The acquisition of this simulator will enhance officer and public safety for the Brandon Police Service and other public safety organizations," said Chief Wayne Balcaen, BPS. "This technology is another tool that will better assist our officers and safely prepare them for situations they may not otherwise encounter. Police service members will now be able to engage in dynamic and realistic situations that would not be possible until faced in a real-life situation."
The computer system allows for more than 450 different scenarios to play out, all with the aim of training police officers and other public safety personnel how to react quickly and appropriately in situations that range from routine to high stakes. The college reports that updates are made to some of the scenarios every few months.
"This new space is a terrific addition to our existing Public Safety Training Centre on campus, which provides training and development facilities for a wide variety of organizations," said Karen Hargreaves, dean of health and human services at Assiniboine. "We're continuing to build on our already strong track record of program leadership in the area of public safety."
No live ammunition is used in the lab. Instead, mock-computerized firearms interact with the screen. The environment is large enough that vehicles and other props can be brought into the space through an overhead door, adding to the realism of the training exercises.
The specialized equipment housed in the simulation lab was purchased by the BPS through a $90,000 investment from the province's Criminal Property Forfeiture Fund. An MOU between Assiniboine and BPS allows for the college to house the equipment and share the space with other public safety organizations for their training needs.
"We expect this training environment will be put to good use by many public safety organizations in addition to the Brandon Police Service," Hargreaves added.
BPS and Assiniboine report they have a long-standing history of collaboration. The college's police studies program includes a seconded officer to teach and provides Phase A training for the BPS recruits.
This new simulation lab expands on the college's existing Public Safety Training Centre on campus, which opened in 2015. The centre allows for tactical and physical defense training, high-risk extraction exercises, classroom study and debriefing.

Anita Balchandani has been appointed a non-executive director at Majestic Wine, effective from June 10th. She will bring her years of experience in retail consulting, at OC&C Strategy Consultants among others, to her new role of overseeing the direction of the company.
Balchandani started her career as a Business Analyst for A.T. Kearney in 1997, before moving to rival Roland Berger Strategy Consultants in 1999, to become a Senior Project Manager over her five year tenure. In 2004 she joined ASDA Wal-Mart to become Head of Non-Food Business Development, a position she held for one year before starting at OC&C Strategy Consultants as a Partner. Two years later she left OC&C to take on the role of Group Strategy & Business Development Director at Shop Direct, before returning to her Partner position at OC&C from 2011 to present day as the Sector Head of the UK Retail team.
In her role as OC&C Balchandani works across Europe, North America and Asia in shaping and delivering their strategic agenda – including unlocking value from customer data and segmentation and enabling organisations to manage the transition from bricks and mortar to multichannel/online. Balchandani holds an MSc in Management from the London School of Economics and Stern School of Business (New York University) as well as an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management.
Majestic Wine is an in 1980 founded retailer, which sells wine by the case. Since its inception the company has grown to become the UK's largest wine retailer with more than 200 stores around the country. Per June 10th the wine retailer has named Balchandani a non-executive director at the firm – her second non-executive director position, she currently also serves on the board of Space NK Apothecary.
"Having recently acquired Naked Wines, we are now transforming the business into an international, multi-channel wine specialist, and Anita's strategic and operational insight will be invaluable to this transformation", comments Phil Wrigley, Chairman of Majestic Wine.


For those of you still trying to recover from Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood," along come the Wachowski Siblings to take another crack at the story.
Andy and Lana (nee Larry) Wachowski have written an "urban" retelling of the classic tale called "Hood" (get it? "Hood"? Urban*? Get it?) and have their eyes on Will Smith to star, reported Heat Vision. But as is the Wachowskis' custom, almost nothing else is known about their version.
To be fair, we very nearly liked "Robin Hood," feeling that it's greatest failing was not meeting the expectations created by the title. But regardless of your feelings about the most recent "Robin Hood," even by today's standards, this is an awfully short wait between Robin Hood flicks.
But the real gray lining of this cloud is that it means we may have to wait even longer for the siblings' hotly anticipated "CN-9," their hard-R gay Iraq War film told from the perspective of futuristic archeologists.
Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe team up again to re-tell the timeless story of one of the original Teabaggers. Once you get past the inevitable -- and not unreasonable Gladiator comparisons, this looks epic.

Production for HBO's His Dark Materials made seamless with custom app built on Claris Platform.
Adapting a popular fantasy trilogy for TV is tough, but add armor-wearing bears, a sinister plot, witches, talking spirit animals, and a runaway girl, and things get a bit more complicated.
The HBO miniseries His Dark Materials relies heavily on stunning visual effects (VFX) for storytelling. To produce any special effects-heavy show, VFX teams typically slog through tens of thousands of iterations of intense creative work in a dynamic production environment.
Michael Tuohy, VFX coordinator for His Dark Materials, assists a team of 12 to manage the visual effects workflow from start to finish.
During his career, Michael has tried it all, from tracking scenes manually to using industry software like ftrack and Shotgun. "Depending on your setup, if you're using one of the major tracking software and you want to make a change to the system, it can be expensive and take ages," he said.
He knew there had to be a better way.
Three years ago, in search of a powerful but flexible tool, Michael found the Claris Platform.
"I was never a developer, but as a project manager I started playing around with it," he said. "I just started building up and up, and now I have my own out-of-the-box solution. It's pretty robust."
He estimates his custom apps save hundreds of production hours and tens of thousands of dollars for every season of a new show.
Building a digital shot wall
Many production teams use a manual process to track work in progress. The system, called a shot wall, is comprised of hundreds of business card-sized images taped to a wall. A team member updates the wall with scenes that need work, that need to be omitted, and that are complete.
The benefit of a physical shot wall is its visual nature, notes Michael. It also serves the important psychological function of keeping teams motivated across weeks or months of creatively taxing work. The problem? It's costly, hard to revise, and difficult to share remotely.
To retain the benefits of the physical shot wall but make it more affordable, easy to share, and easy to edit, Michael created a digital shot wall app.
Two 42" TV screens mounted side by side now reveal an entire episode. This "virtual production wall" displays an adjustable grid of hundreds of shots. Each shot is marked with its status, identification number, and linked to a desktop production app. Any time a shot is updated in the app, the change is instantly reflected on the digital shot wall. Producers can use the app to view the latest version of a shot and affiliated notes, and generate custom reports. When a shot is finalized, the app automatically adds a "Final" stamp to the image on display.
His Dark Materials called for more than 2,000 shots across dozens of scenes to incorporate effects like magic dust, zeppelins, combat scenes involving humans accompanied by monkeys, bunnies, and birds, and more. Each shot went through numerous iterations before it was approved, and each iteration had multiple notes from the director, producer, and production teams.
"The shot wall app saved a whole person's worth of work on maintaining it, and can be used again and again for each subsequent season with zero additional cost."
Michael Tuohy
When he encountered development challenges, his first stop was the developer forum at the Claris Community. There, he found quick answers to his questions from more than 50,000 active users, and even discovered scripts he could copy and paste into his app to create new capabilities in seconds.
Today, the VFX production app can archive unused scenes, generate updated reports with fresh notes and versions within minutes, and be modified to include new fields at a moment's notice.
"The main advantage of having FileMaker knowledge is the flexibility you bring to a producer," he said. "Production requirements vary from show to show, so you have to be able to think on your feet and adapt quickly."
Thinking forward, Michael envisions a touch-screen capability for his digital shot wall that would allow users to touch an image on the TV screen, see full details, and play the scene in an in-app player.
An app of all trades
In the meantime, his app doesn't just cut the labor of managing the shot wall, it aligns the team to deliver better, faster decisions.
Every user receives automatic production updates when they log in. At a glance, users can see statistical readouts of how complete each episode is, as well as cost breakdowns. During the actual shoot, it also provides information about where and when the shoot is happening. The updates allow the team to prepare for the next batch of work.
The app also contains a VFX bidding script breakdown tool. Producers can import an episode's script, then the app exports the script's individual lines to an Excel spreadsheet. The script breakdown function is used by VFX producers who place cost estimates against lines containing potential VFX work and are used to manage bids and overall production budget.
"In this industry, the work of copying and pasting every line of a script into an Excel spreadsheet is usually done manually," said Michael. "On a good day, if you do it really quick, it would take about four hours, but on a bad day with distractions it could also be a day's work."
Those hours add up quickly when you consider that a typical TV show season has at least eight scripts. Production teams can expect to receive script updates every three to four days — each with their own new pricing requirements.
"Now, the work takes two minutes," he said with a smile.
The script breakdown tool also captures scene details from updated scripts and shares them with another app used by the data wrangling teams who work on set. The wrangling teams are responsible for capturing details such as camera height, camera distance, interior or exterior shoot, day or night shoot, and lighting.
"The app allows them to select an episode and scene, then access the latest scene details," said Michael. "This saves time in replicating shots with continuity, and they can be confident their information is current."
Thanks to Michael's apps, production's workflow pipeline is connected enough that when something changes, information is shared immediately to teams who need it with minimum disruption.
Learning Claris FileMaker allowed him to solve for VFX project management, saving hundreds of hours. Then he saw opportunities for automation everywhere — from team updates to script breakdown — each success giving him more confidence to tackle the next problem. The automation journey is one without limits, and he intends to continue it and share with others.
"I'm teaching my assistant coordinator how to use Claris FileMaker," he said. "I told him, 'If you want to go out on your own and be a freelancer, and you know this tool, you're sorted."

Has Anonymous Outing the KKK Been Ruined by Alternative Media?
Is America Ready For Marijuana Being Federally Legal?
Wordstock 2015 is Happening This Weekend and You Should Totally Go
Published by Gabriel Valdez at November 3, 2015
The AntiMedia
The infamous activist hacking group Anonymous is set to release the identities of up to 1,000 Ku Klux Klan members on Nov. 5. Anonymous has hinted that many of them are in law enforcement. The hacktivist group did the same thing on a smaller scale after the protests of Ferguson, Mo., showing a disturbing number of KKK members hidden in Missouri's police infrastructure.
Unfortunately, Anonymous was pre-empted a few days earlier. A mysterious data dump on Pastebin suddenly went viral. It claimed that four sitting US Senators and five mayors are associated with the KKK. An accompanying Twitter post by user Amped Attacks was released. The claim started going viral and alternative media outlets scrambled to post the names of the senators and mayors associated.
Yet the data dump contained no evidence. It simply listed names and associations. There was no provenance to the claims.
This didn't fit Anonymous' m.o. at all. Typically, the hacktivist group releases information with a tremendous amount of supporting evidence. Anonymous has often worked with a journalistic integrity in mind. Photos culled from private Facebook groups, banking connections, hacked private networks, and elaborately unfolded data trails; this is typically how Anonymous has made these reveals.
A simple list of names with no evidence, from a user with no provable connection to Anonymous? That should have given every single news organization pause. Larger networks sat on the data dump without knowing where it really came from. Even newspapers like the USA Today posted a story about the dump, but refused to cite any of those names listed and detailed the claim's questionable origins. Yet alternative media sources (U.S. Uncut, Alternet, Daily Kos, and Salon) all initially posted the story as fact.
Denials from the politicians named started mounting, including Mayor Madeline Rogero of Knoxville, Tenn. Hers was an exceptionally strange name to be on such a list for several reasons: she's a liberal Democrat with a record of promoting racial justice all the way back to working with Cesar Chavez in promoting Mexican farm workers' rights. She was also the only mayor in Tennessee who signed the nationally-circulated mayors' amicus brief in support of marriage equality.
Anonymous itself was quick to deny any connection to the Pastebin dump. Anonymous member Anon6K told TakePart: "That list was not released by us. And me and my team do not believe she [Rogero] is a member of the KKK." He later tweeted, "This account has NOT YET released any information. We believe in due diligence and will NOT recklessly involve innocent individuals. #OpKKK."
The official Anonymous news account tweeted, "For any information about #OpKKK we will refer to the official @Operation_KKK twitter account."
Even if the Pastebin information is accurate, which is a leap of logic in itself, it's not proof of anything beyond being signed up for a newsletter. Gizmodo spoke to one of the individuals named, Patricia Aiken. She runs a consulting firm for law enforcement unions. She believes she was signed up on a KKK e-mail list by former jail employee Kirk Eady, who has since been arrested for wiretapping Aiken and others. Eady has already been linked to signing union representative Daniel Murray up as well.
The biggest scandal here is how this many alternative media outlets were so thoroughly hijacked on the strength of a posting on Pastebin and a tweet from an unconfirmed source. There was no recognition that the style of the data dump fell well outside of Anonymous' methods. There was no vetting of the information. There was no demand for evidence. There was, in essence, no journalistic integrity at play. That becomes dangerous because it risks real people's lives getting ruined.
Whether Amped Attacks wanted to steal some of the group's fame, prank the news networks, launch a smear campaign against politicians, or discredit the information Anonymous itself is about to release is unclear.
If it's for fame, they've succeeded, if only for a few hours Monday morning. If they wanted to prank the major news networks, they failed. Major networks typically sit on information like this until the information is thoroughly vetted. This is partly out of journalistic integrity, and partly out of wanting to avoid burning any bridges before they have to. Given that there wasn't any information to vet beyond an unsubstantiated claim by someone they weren't even sure was part of Anonymous, there wasn't anything for them to actually report.
Only alternative media outlets fell for it. Operations like U.S. Uncut and Salon were taken in hook, line, and sinker. They may even be legally exposed at this point to individuals who wish to sue. This reveals the weakness in many alternative news media operations: a lack of resources and training to properly vet incoming material.
If the intent was to smear conservative politicians, it may end up doing more harm to liberals. The only voters who might be convinced without proof are those whose vote was never in question. Typically, negative campaigning is understood to have an equal and opposite reaction; it's more of a fundraising stratagem than a campaign tactic. It has little real effect on polls themselves. As a smear campaign, the claims here will have little effect but to further polarize voters who are already firmly entrenched in their beliefs. Given the fraudulent nature of the initial story, it may even drive more additional conservatives to the polls than liberals.
The only thing this effectively does is make it more difficult for Anonymous to transmit its message through its upcoming Operation KKK program. The ground where they might have planted their claims is now salted. News networks that seek to defend law enforcement's KKK ties will be able to create a narrative that questions the accuracy of Anonymous' entire doxxing campaign. Even mainstream networks may now pose Operation KKK as a smear campaign, something political rather than informational. Anyone named on Nov. 5, no matter how much evidence Anonymous itself dumps, can fall back on a narrative of political targeting.
That's the only real effect the efforts of Amped Attacks and the failure of alternative media outlets has had. Their job is to question mainstream journalism, not to throw out journalistic practices altogether. They've only harmed the causes they seek to boost.
Do you think those named by Anonymous will now claim plausible deniability? Did the alternative press jump the gun?

"Friendship" SOTM Blog Hop and Valentine's Day Countdown - Day 1!
Welcome to our February Stamp of the Month blog hop featuring this month's new SOTM - Friendship D1453! If you've just joined me from Tammy's blog then you are on the right path! This blog post is also my first post for Day 1 of the Valentine's Day Countdown blog hop that I am participating in for the next 14 days also! Please continue to come back and visit my blog each day for the next two weeks as I will be sharing a new creative idea for Valentine's Day each and every afternoon!
I created this 6x6 Valentine card using the February Stamp of the Month (Friendship D1453) and our new Sweetheart papers X7134B. My card design is inspired by Originals - The Main Idea (p. 96). The heart shape I used is the largest heart from our Hearts Dimensional Elements chipboard shapes (Z1278 $3.25). I simply adhered the heart shape to the front side of the Sweetheart flower B&T paper (so the back side of pink b&t paper would show on the front of the heart) and then used my micro-tip scissors to cut off the excess paper until I had a nice heart shape of paper covering the Dimensional Element. I then used a sponge dauber and black ink to ink distress the edges all around the heart. Then I used the "embossing resist" technique to create the flourish design that covers the heart. To do this, I simply stamped the image on the heart with our clear Versamark ink (Z891 $9.95) and then heat embossed it with our clear detail embossing powder (Z821 $3.95). Then I used a sponge dauber (Z726 $3.95) with Tulip ink to rub the ink over and around the embossed image in a light circular motion. The clear embossing resists the ink, yet allows the color to show all around the image. I recommend using a tissue to then wipe the embossed area and remove the excess ink that beads up on top of the shiney embossed area. Because the embossing powder I used is clear, you can see the beautiful patterned paper images underneath it - so cool!
Please come back tomorrow and every day for the next two weeks to see more of my creations for the Valentine's Day Countdown blog hop (as well as more ideas using the February Stamp of the Month)! Now you can continue on the SOTM blog hop by visiting Melinda's blog next! Enjoy!!
Layouts 3 and 4 - using the Sweetheart WOTG kit!
I just finished up layouts #3 and #4 this past week, which means that I met my goal of a layout every week this month already and the month's barely even half over (yeaay for me)!! I know that this looks like just one scrapbook layout (and it is), BUT I also created a duplicate copy of this layout this week because I am giving one of them to my downline consultant team member Starr Nelson (who is the "Rising Starr") featured on my pages! Three years ago Starr received the very prestigious annual "Rising Star" award at our corporate-sponsored Leadership Conference and I was so thrilled to be able to be there to celebrate it with her and Close to my Heart. What an amazing event it was and I am so grateful for the photos and memories I have from that week. I promised Starr then that I would make her a layout of her big achievement, and even though it took me quite a while (blush), I finally have it done and ready to give to her (if you are reading this Starr, then "Surprise!!" It's about time right?! lol. I will give you your layout next week at our upcoming team meeting or get it mailed to you if you aren't able to attend!!) This layout was created using the new Sweetheart Workshop-on-the-Go kit that is featured on page 41 of the NEW Spring/Summer Idea Book! If you haven't received the beautiful new idea book from me yet, then you'll want to attend one of my upcoming events or contact me soon to get your very own free copy from me!
I'm already two layouts down with just two more to go this month to meet my NEW scrapbooking goal of getting (on average) at least one layout completed every week this year - yaay me!!
I hope you will set aside some time very soon to get some of your scrapbooking accomplished also! Join me in my stamp room tomorrow (Saturday 1/8) anytime from 4pm to 10pm and I will help inspire you get even more done! Scroll down to see the next post (before this one) for more details about the $5 scrapbooking class I'm also offering tomorrow at 6pm (just a few spots left)!
Saturday Night Scrappers - Get the NEW Idea Book from me this Saturday 1/8!
I just wanted to quickly remind you all that the first ever meeting of our "Saturday Night Scrappers Club" is coming up this Saturday 1/8 here in my stamp room! We will meet from 4pm to 10pm and you are welcome to come by whenever it is convenient for you to visit, shop, and/or scrapbook with me! I also still have a few spots left in my $5 Scrapbooking Class that starts at 6pm (details are here). Everyone who stops by will be given an exclusive "sneak peek" copy of the NEW Spring/Summer 2011 Idea Book from me a few weeks before it is officially released (only available from me in person at my January events)! We will meet again on Saturday 1/22 from 4pm to 10pm (so that is an extra opportunity for you to come get a new idea book and scrapbook some more with me again this month!) Please contact me to RSVP ASAP so I can have enough table space set up for everyone - Thanks!


This probably isn't going to be useful for anyone. It's just the simple accounts backend I am using for Basketball GM. However, finding a security issue and reporting it to me is the only way to obtain the "Hacker" achievement in the game. Hopefully that will be a rare occurrence.


Alaskabou: This is a series of flies rather than a single pattern that basically evolved from the Marabou Spey and Marabou Spider flies of the 1970's. The Alaskabou Series was created by George Cook who basically matched certain color combinations of marabou feathers along with Krystal Flash or Flashabou to create the look he desired. These flies were meant for the Salmon and Steelhead of Alaska however they can be used wherever pelagic species run.
Alaskabou (Showgirl-Pink/Purple Color Scheme) Pattern Recipe: Hook- TMC7999, Thread- Fluorescent Fire Orange 6/0, Wing- Pink and bright purple marabou with pearl Flashabou and pearl Krystal Flash sparsely intermixed.

Network Rail added £100 billion to its value because of an 'accounting quirk'
Matthew Nitch Smith
Bath BusinessNetwork Rail says more than 4.5 million customers use it every day.
Network Rail — Britain's state-owned rail operator — will add at least £100 billion ($141 billion) to its value this summer because of an "accounting quirk" according to the Telegraph.
Network Rail's current valuation is £54.1 billion ($76.4 billion).
The Telegraph says the added value is based on an "accounting quirk of privatisation from the 1990s that values Network Rail according to estimated future passenger fares."
This new valuation would mean Network Rail is worth more than Highway England, another state owned company that builds and maintains Britain's roads.
Highway England is valued at £111.9 billion, which takes into account how much it would cost to replace England's motorways and A-roads. The government decided to value Network Rail in the same way, which meant a considerably higher valuation.
Minutes from a meeting of the Financial Reporting Advisory Board — which guides the government on its accounting — confirm it has been working on the new valuation, The Telegraph added.
This will be welcome news for Network Rail, who have had a tough time in recent years.
Chairman Richard Parry Jones was replaced by Sir Peter Hendy in 2015 after a series of missed budgetary targets.
The company says that over the past 20 years passenger numbers have doubled, and that more than 4.5 million people use the network every day. This equates to almost 1.7 billion passenger journeys a year.
Network Rail did not respond the valuation news at the time of writing.

Saputo buys goat cheesemaker Woolwich Dairy
Ont. dairy firm includes plants in Quebec, Wisconsin
Posted Oct. 6th, 2015 by Staff
Woolwich Dairy began marketing goat cheese-based salad dressings in 2011. (WoolwichDairy.com)
Canada's biggest cheesemaker is expanding its reach in the goat dairy market with a friendly all-cash takeover of Ontario goat cheese firm Woolwich Dairy.
Montreal-based Saputo announced Monday it has paid $80 million for the family-owned cheesemaking company, including its three plants and distribution centre.
Based at Orangeville, north of Guelph, Woolwich has operated since 1983 and has been owned by the Dutra family since 1989. The company makes Chevrai, goat brie, cheddar, feta and mozzarella cheeses and branched out in 2011 to include the Wholesome Goat line of goat's-milk ice creams and goat cheese-based salad dressings.
Woolwich, on its website Monday, said its customers can "expect the same quality product as Woolwich Dairy operations will remain active."
The company sources goat's milk from over 200 goat farmers in Ontario, supplying its 40,000-square foot plant at Orangeville. Woolwich in 2011 also set up a 25,000-square foot distribution facility at Amaranth, just west of Orangeville.
Woolwich's Fromagerie Madame Chevre plant, built in 2005 at Princeville, Que., southeast of Trois-Rivieres, is focused on high-end surface-ripened specialty cheeses.
Woolwich since 2008 has also operated a plant at Lancaster, Wisconsin, about 130 km west of Madison, buying from U.S. producers and focused on the U.S. market.
Saputo, whose own brands include the Alexis de Portneuf line of goat cheeses, said buying Woolwich, which employs about 190 people, allows it to "increase its presence in the specialty cheese category in North America." — AGCanada.com Network

Leonard "Lenny" White III (born December 19, 1949) is an American jazz fusion drummer who was a member of the band Return to Forever led by Chick Corea in the 1970s. White has been called "one of the founding fathers of jazz fusion". He has won three Grammy awards, two nominations and one Latin Grammy.

Early life and education
Born in Queens, New York City, White became interested in music at a young age. As a self taught drummer he started off his career playing with groups at the New York jazz scene. While he was living at home, his father would take him to gigs. Early on he played clubs in Queens New York such as the Aphrodisiac, Slugs, and The Gold Lounge. It was at The Gold Lounge where he had his first gig with saxophonist Jackie McLean. During the late 1960s he began performing with Mclean around Queens. Through this, White was recommended to play on Miles Davis' landmark 1969 LP Bitches Brew and feature on Freddie Hubbard's 1970 LP Red Clay. Within 1972 White joined the jazz group Return to Forever.

Career

In 1975 White released his debut solo album entitled ''Venusian Summer,''which featured guitarists Al DiMeola and fusion guitar pioneer, Larry Coryell. Big City was released in 1977. During 1978 he released his Space opera inspired The Adventures of Astral Pirates and his third solo album Streamline. He eventually formed the jazz/soul group Twennynine who went on to issue three studio albums, 1979's Best of Friends, Twennynine with Lenny White in 1980, and 1981's Just Like Dreamin.

White then made a guest appearance on Chick Corea's 1982 album Touchstone and produced Chaka Khan's 1982 LP Echoes of an Era. He later released his 1983 album Attitude and co-produced Pieces of a Dream's 1986 LP Joyride. White now teaches at NYU Steinhardt where he has an ensemble as well as a lecture class on Bitches Brew called "The Miles Davis Aesthetic."

Personal life
White has been a longtime resident of Teaneck, New Jersey. He endorses Vic Firth drum sticks and only plays his own signature epoch cymbals sponsored by Istanbul Agop.

Some Nigerian cultists caused a scene at a popular club in Philippines after storming the venue in their white, black and yellow attire to mark their 7th July anniversary. The members of the Black Axxe confraternity otherwise known as Aye, were seen in a jolly mood as they took their Philippians girlfriends along with them for the groove.
According to reports, security were on standby to ensure no chaos or violence was recorded.
This is coming after the authorities of the Lagos State Police Command issued a strong warning to Aye members and other cultist not to converge anywhere in the state today or face the full wrath of the law.
The 7th day of the 7th month which is today is sacred to the Black Axxe confraternity - a day which they say the freedom of black man was granted by foreign oppressors.
It is also a day they settle scores with rival cult groups and a day of outright brigandage and anomie.


An icon in the broadcasting industry, Tom Murphy gave "birth" to a fledgling broadcast company, Capital Cities in 1954. It is hard to believe that this telecommunications giant almost went bankrupt in its first three years. Over several decades, and as a result of many brilliantly crafted deals, Tom, who became President of Cap Cities, gradually built the company into a telecommunications empire. In 1985 he engineered the purchase of ABC with the backing of his long-time friend Warren Buffett, and the company became Cap Cities/ABC. He describes it as the "minnow that ate the whale." Ten years later, Tom sold Cap Cities/ABC to Disney for approximately $19 billion. Mr. Murphy was named New York State Broadcasters Association's "New Yorker of the Year" in 1986.
