(Denise Ann Bryant)
Certified Line Dance Instructor, over 15 years experience
My name is Denise Bryant. I am 59 years old. I've been married for 25 years and have 2 daughters, 42 and 36, one grandson, BJ who is 9yrs. old, one son-in-law, 2 sisters and 2 brothers.
November 2010, November 2011, November 2012, I was nominated for Instructor of the Year, for line dancing in MD, DC and VA. I'm from Bowie Maryland, I've been dancing all my life. I've been line dancing for about 7 years. I especially love teaching seniors and beginners. You can find me at many venues during the week and on weekends, line dancing. My first line dance class originated at Lane Memorial, CME Church, in Washington, DC, along with my best friend, who belong to the church.
I lost my job in August 2008, I was distraught, I put my faith in God, joined Reid Temple, and he has changed my life forever. I always wanted to give back to the community, now I can. I love talking to people, and networking. I really love to line dance, free style, and hand dance, my mother still tells me to stop dancing so much, I can't help it, it's not just dancing, it's my way of life.
After teaching about six months at Lane Memorial Church, I decided to start my own line dance class. I started with six people in my daughter's basement in Bowie, Md. The line dance craze took off in full speed. I now have seven classes that I teach on a weekly basis, throughout Maryland, and DC, and over 250 students enrolled.
I enrolled in a line dance class at the Glenn Dale Community Center, about 5 years ago. I would always catch on to all the dances that were being taught, so I had a feeling that this would be something that was really special for me. I found myself helping to teach the class, as well as, helping the other students that were having trouble with the steps. I would always take them off to the side to try to help with the steps. The line dance class gave me the courage, confidence and training to teach my own class, and the fact that I enjoy people so much, this was definitely a way for me to socialize, network, exercise, and line dance all in one. My students say I have such a
way of teaching, that draws people to my dance classes. To enhance the fun, some students bring noise makers, and belly dance skirts to class.
My mother, Delores Kidwell, is my biggest fan & inspiration, and is also my eldest student at 81 years of age. My youngest student is my great niece, Shaunea who is 11 years old. Like so many great things in life, I am fortunate enough to have family and friends in my life to encourage me to be who I am today.
So many of our seniors have nothing to do during the day, so I wanted to make myself available for them, not just dancing, but anything I can do to make them happy, and put a smile on their face.
Thanks to Damita Goldsmith for believing in me, and for being the best PR person in the world. Thanks to my sisters, Vernita and Cynthia, daughters Monica, and Kiana who have faith in all that I do. "Special Thanks" to my husband Darryl, and my right hand men, Burley Johnson, Sean Jackson. Extra special thanks to all my students who support me every week, and Barbara Broadnax , Kim Bailey, Diana Avery, and Dainette Avery, for your support, and keeping me staright, with my appointments, administrative, and special events. I appreciate you all. Thank you.
Music2yourFeet line dancers perform all over the Washington, DC Metropolitan area, for Church events, Birthday parties, office parties, meetings, health fairs, weddings, Government wellness meetings, and Fundraisers. Some of the students and I attend bi-weekly line dance socials, to keep abreast of all the latest dances.
In January 2011, and 2012, my group was invited to participate in the NBC4 Health Expo, held at the Washington Convention Ctr. Washington, DC
February 2012, Fox5 live morning show, YWCA NCA, 14th St.Washington, DC, live show with YWCA, and it's programs offered at the location including, music2yourfeet line dance, zumba, personal training, and much much more.
Past 5 years invited to perform at the NBC4, Health Expo, Washington, DC, music2yourfeet invited for the 5th year to line dance on the main stage, while 80,00 people pass through to exhibits, showcases, health screening, and so much more.

Welcome to the IPF
Welcome to the website of the Australian Parents Council's Indigenous Parent Factor (IPF) program.
The IPF is unique in that it reaches out to Indigenous parents with the aim to positively influence home learning and consequently improve Indigenous children's chances of a successful start to the early years of schooling. It is based on key principles, including: parents are the first and continuing educatiors of their children; the first few years of a child's development are crucial in setting the foundation for life long learning; and all young Indigenous people have the capacity to learn.
The program was designed in collaboration with Indigenous communities, elders and educators to foster the partnership between home & school in support of Indigenous children's successful learning & literacy development, successful entry into school learning and participation in school life. Indigenous elders and educators continue to be closely involved in monitoring, evaluating and shaping the program.
APC has been working with Indigenous communities throughout Australia since 2004. IPF workshops have been held in the Torres Strait, the Tiwi Islands and all states and territories in rural, remote and metropolitan settings.
On Friday 11 November 2011 the Parents & Friends Federation of WA was presented with an award as a semi-finalist in the 2011 Department of Indigenous Affairs Indigenous Service Award. The award recognised the work the Federation has been doing with Indigenous communities, which has included delivering IPF workshops in Karratha and Kalgoorlie. Pictured below receiving the award at the WA Regional Achievement and Community Awards night are Narelle Hansen (IPF Area Coordinator for the south of WA), Shelley Hill (Executive Officer of the P&F Federation of WA) and Jenni Curtis (IPF Area Coordinator for the north of WA).

The trim and unobtrusive Min-EMAD removes unwanted frequencies, retaining the desired attack, resonance, and feel.
A deceptively simple damping device based on solid acoustical principles, the Min-EMAD consists of a fabric "bridge" that links the resonant head with the relatively inert, metal counterhoop. When attached by Velcro dots to both head and rim, the Min-EMAD removes overtones by controlling the vibration of the head. With absolute minimal intrusion on the batter (or the resonant) surface, the result is a focused, unchoked tone. For minimal overtone reduction, the Min-EMAD can be attached to the head close to the rim; for increased damping, it may be positioned further from the rim. Maximum damping is achieved when the Min-EMAD is extended to its full length or used on both the batter and resonant heads.

(RESOLVED)(VB6)Auto Increment Number In Access
Hon'ble gurus,
I use Access2002 and VB6. My project is a school project. I have 2 comboboxes and one textbox. In my Access database I've already entered data. In combo1 I show the classes like LKG,UKG,STD I,STD II,STD III etc. In combo2, I show the names of students found in that particular class which is selected in Combo1.Let's assume that the maximum strength in each class is 100. Now I want to allot Roll no to students of different classes in a particular way. For example: Students of LKG should have Roll no starting from 101. Students of UKG should have Roll no from 201. Students of STD I should have Roll no from 301 like this. In the textbox if I write the first roll no of a class, can I allot roll no to all students of that class in auto increment way? Hope, you got me.Right? I mean, if I choose UKG and in the textbox I write 501 then roll no should be added in database against all students of that class like 501,502,503,504 and each name. The roll no should be incremented till the no of students are found in the class. Is it possible throught VB6 coding? Thanks.

Creating Ms Access Auto-increment Primary Key Using SQL Query
Hello all,
I wonder if anyone can help me with this..
I have MS Access database with a table(say "TABLE1) with primary keys already. Now, we want to add an auto-increment (AutoNumber) field (say FLD1) as the only primary key for that table.
I think I have to
- firstly add FLD1 to the TABLE1 as normal field first,
- fill FLD1 with value for existing records.
- add primary key (FLD1) to TABLE1
- drop old primary keys
Am I correct with the procedure?
Also, the other question is how can I add primary key FLD1 as auto-increment number field with SQL query in my VB6.
Please advise!!!
My Ma Database Uses Auto Number (Resolved-Thanks Deke)
Hi, I am using vb and a ma database with an auto number as a primary key. When I add a new record in, its fine the number increases. However, if I delete a record, that number is gone. I am wondering if it is possible to somehow use this lost number again. I would like to use this number as when I pull out the records with SQL, I would like them to be ordered 1,2,3,4... etc and not all over the place like 1, 23, 24, 45... etc

Auto Increment
I have a form that I want to have a number in a textbox for example increment every time the user clicks a command button. I know how to do this, but when the application closes the number gets reset. Textbox.text=103 is at the start. When the user clicks it goes to 104 etc. If the application is closed, I want the number to remain as 104 and whne it is opened again and the user clicks, the number will change to 105 etc.

Inserting The Auto Increment Value From VB
Hi !!
i wrote a good working vb program that stores automatically data from IRC to mysql DB. The only problem i have now is i want to create a php webpage and i realized it would be a good thing if i had a column that contained the row #.
Therefore, i added a rowid column in the db but i have no idea on how to INSERT a value automatically in a field so that it respect the auto increment value.
conn.Execute "INSERT INTO releases VALUES (" & _
"'" & txtDate.Text & "', " & _
"'" & txtTime.Text & "', " & _
"'" & txtChan.Text & "', " & _
"'" & txtSentence.Text & "', " & _
"'" & txtWho.Text & "', " & _
End Function
The "'" & LAST_INSERT_ID & "')" is the one that doesnt work good. Of course VB returns "unknown variable" but i have no clue of what to replace it for.
Do i have to write a few lines to read the last rowid # in the column and then calculate the new rowid for the insert ? Or, is there any way to skip a column when inserting a row, so it would auto add it's own rowid value ?
I see many possibilies
but i dunno wich one will work
Thanks !

My problem is that I can't find a data type which is an Auto Incrementing field
(I would prefer to use an SQL Statement)
Will that work in SQL Server 2005 ?
Access To ORACLE What About Auto Number?
I went out and Bought the Intelligent Converters tool...

sqlINSERT = "INSERT INTO tblPhaseData (" & _
"PR_Index, " & _
"intPhaseSeqNum, " & _
"strPhaseName, " & _
"strPhaseDescription) "
sqlVALUES = "VALUES (" & _
"" & PR_Index & "," & _
"" & myPhaseNum & "," & _
"'" & Replace(Project.StandardPhases(X, 1), "'", "''") & "'," & _
"" & Project.StandardPhases(X, 2) & ")"
SQL = sqlINSERT & sqlVALUES
Call dbx(SQL, True)
SQL = "SELECT @@identity"
Call dbx(SQL, True)
PH_Index = CLng(rs(0).Value) ' get the Auto Number Field here
Can I use this same method going forward?
(with a new connection string of course)
Or does Oracle require me to handle things differently?
Also, I am not able to query the data using SELECT statements.
Error returned is "Table or View does not exist"
Can anyone help me better undertand what's wrong?
Thanks a bunch.
Auto Number Field In MS Access
Can I reset the value of an auto-number field in an MS Access Database through VB.

Addnew() Problem With Auto Increment Id
I am writting a program using VB.Net to connect to a MSSQL Server 2000 database by ADO.Net technology. My database has four tables, namely "Patients", "Lesions", "Measurements" and "Files". They are all in a series of "one to many" relations.For example, one patient can have multiple lesions and one lesion can have multiple measurements and one measurement
can have multiple files. I use auto increment integer number as the "id"s of table "Lesions", Measurements", "files", and set their seeds and as "identical".
I have a problem to add a new record for the tables with auto increment numbers as their "id"s. Whenever I called the addNew() meathod to add a new record to, for exampel, the "Lesions" table, the number of "id" shown is always a number larger than it should be. In my case, it's always two more than it should be in the "Lesions" table, for example, I already have 3 records with "id" 0, 1, 2, in the table, the next (new) one I add should be with "id" 3, but it actually comes up with "id" 5. Then this conflicts with the table so if I update the data adaptor, there are two new records shown up, one with "id" 3, the other with "id" 5. Of course the one with "id" 5 is invalid, so any work with it will end up with an error. I have to close the form and restart it, then the devil record with "id" 5 disappear, and everything now is OK.
Can somebody please give me some hint to solve this problem? It's a real time killer for me.
And I also noticed there is a post with same problem marked with solved, but there was simply no reply to the thread.
Thank you,

Auto Increment + Password Feature
hello, I'm writing a program (no database) that will store information into a csv file. I need to have a 'transaction number' whereby it will increment itself on every transaction. how do I go about doing it? I hope I wouldn't need to read it from a file or something. The app may be run a few times a day so I hope the app will 'remember' the number.
Also, I would like to implement 'admin features' in my program. I intend to have the app ask for the password whenever someone tries to access the admin functions. how shld I implement this feature (as in how do I store the password?) and is it possible to allow the admin to change password as and when s/he wants to,without storing the password in a file/registry?
I've tried seaching thru the threads but to no avail (mayb i'm using the wrong keywords?). I hope someone can help me out. My thanx to everyone!

Build A Table With Auto-increment Field...
Greetings all!
I am trying to build a table like this:
fkField (primary key)
fkButton (primary key)
iNumber (primary key)
And the values I need to have are this:
fkField - fkButton - iNumber
1 ----------- 1 ---------- 1
1 ----------- 1 ---------- 2
1 ----------- 2 ---------- 1
2 ----------- 2 ---------- 1
2 ----------- 2 ---------- 2
2 ----------- 2 ---------- 3
I would like the column "iNumber" to be an automatic increment counter that return to 1 for every new pair of "fkField" - "fkButton".
I know that in my Database courses we talked about something like this (famous example of an invoice for each client...), but I allways wonder if ther was an option or a setting for SQL to do this with my column "iNumber" automagically, or I really need to do it programatically.
Thank you for your time and have a nice day!
Auto Increment Of Records Not Taking Place?
Hi everyone,
I am facing a very unique problem. I have written a code for auto incrementing of registration numbers. The auto increment takes place when the form loads or the record is added.
Now the problem is after 13810 records the code is refusing to auto increment. The records are getting added, but with the number 13810. Can u guys please suggest what is causing this out of the blue error?
Public Sub Autogenregest()
On Error Resume Next
Dim a As Long, b As String
If rs1.State = 1 Then rs1.Close
rs1.Open "clientprofile", con, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
If rs1.BOF = True And rs1.EOF = True Then
brs.Open "Backup", con, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
a = Val(brs(0).Value)
b = "C" & a
TxtRegNo.Text = b
a = Val(Right(rs1(0).Value, Len(rs1(0).Value) - 1) + 1)
b = "C" & a
TxtRegNo.Text = b
End If
End Sub
Auto-increment Text Form Fields In MS Word
I have a Word document with four forms on a page. Each of the four forms has a text form field which I want to have consecutive numbers in. So if I print 10 sheets the forms will be numbered 1 through 40.
Is it possible to attach a macro to each of these fields to increment each of them by one every time a new page is printed.
It would be nice to have a window opening to ask which number to start at
Thanks in advance

Increment 5 Digits Number
Hello, I need help here. What I'm trying to do:
1) to has a function that will generate a unique 5 digits number that will increase everytime I call the function. I want to use it as slip number. It start from 00000 to 99999. If it more than 99999 then it will be reset to 00000.
2)this function will search in the table whether the number generated already existed or not, if yes it will increment the number if no then it will assign the number to the txtfields(1).
Below is my code but it doesn't work well.
Private Function tranNo()
Static code1 As Double
txtFields(1).Text = Format(code1, "00000")
If code1 < 99999 Then
If Adodc1.Recordset.RecordCount > 0 Then
Do Until Adodc1.Recordset.EOF
If Adodc1.Recordset("tranNo") = code1 Then
code1 = code1 + 1
GoTo start:
End If
End If
code1 = 0
End If
End Function
In summary, this number like an autonumber. Can anyone help me to correct the code, or suggest another way to do it? Help me please!

I Need VB Code For Auto Increment Naming Captured Digi Pics And Default File Save Location
I'm writing an application in VB which automates snap shot captures as jpg's. I want to auto-save the images to a default folder on my hard drive in sequence from lets say, ex: pic1.jpg ; pic2.jpg ; pic3.jpg ; etc... on through approx 80 jpg images which would be pic80.jpg after each digi pic is snapped,,,,, The idea behind this is to have my digi camera snap/save automatically and incrementally naming the images throughout the routine. What source code would best fit my needs to accomplish such a feat? Like I said, I need to set a default path to a folder on my hard drive and have the images saved in numeric sequence. thx
Solved: Increment About Form Version Number
Happy holidays!!
Can someone explain how to increment the About form version number? It just stays at 1.1.0. Other than not incrementing the form looks just fine. The code in the About form includes...
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Caption = "About " & App.Title
lblVersion.Caption = "Version " & App.Major & "." & App.Minor & _
"." & App.Revision
lblTitle.Caption = App.Title
lblDescription.Caption = "This program was written by ...blah blah"
lblDisclaimer.Caption = "Warning: ...This program is protected ....blah"
End Sub
..but there is also under - project properties - make, the version number Major, Minor, Revision.
I have them each set to 1. And, the Auto increment is checked. But, I'm not sure about under Application the Title and Icon part. The drop down for the Icon just lists all the different forms I have in this project. I don't think of a form as an icon what am I missing here?
Under Version Information Type there are entries like comments, company name, file description and so on. What are these for?
Forgive my ignorance I realize this ain't rocket science. Maybe it's the triptophan kicking in.
thanks for any help

Increment Access Table
I hope this is coherent it's about 4am. Anyway, I've been working on getting MS Chart to show data from an Access db. To get it to work I just put numbers in the columns but I really need to be able to increment the values. My program holds records for memory modules that are built but fail test then go to repair. So it has serial numbers, repair status etc. It uses error codes from 10000 to 15000 for ex. Is there a way to increment the table with each new entry (record) made into the database?
I am using VB6 with Access 2k.

PLAYERS: Jeremy Jacobs, Gary Bettman
Scrooge McJacobs With the season on the brink of destruction, and the loyalty of the fans wavering, the NHL is going to need to come up with some very creative marketing schemes to get fans back in the stands. I, along with many others, am fed up with the game of chicken that is going on in the negotiating room, and am particularly fed up with Jeremy Jacobs and his all-or-nothing tactics. Don't get me wrong, both sides are to blame for this mess, but it's the owners and the league as a whole that will need to come up with ways to get back in the stands. Right now they assume we will all be back if and when the puck drops, and I pray that I am not the only one that will boycott and not spend a cent of my own money on the NHL. Side note: I say I won't spend a cent of my own money, but if someone wants to buy me tickets, I'll gladly go. It's not my money at that point. See? I can make loopholes too. But back on point, what will it take for you to begin to trust this league again? For me, I would require at least some of the following concessions: Replace Jeremy Jacobs with as chairman of the Board of Governors. His time has run it's course, and one man should never have the power to cripple a league like this. Fire Gary Bettman. I'm aware that Bettman's job is to please the owners, and he is doing his job fairly well in that regard. However, we have seen three work stoppages in his reign. Replace him, and I will at least try to believe that the league won't do this to us again. Ensure the new CBA lasts more than five years, and have it expire before free agency. We can't have this situation again where owners (Craig Leipold) sign players to contracts that they never intended to fully honor. Free NHL Center Ice for whatever is left of this season and all of next season That's all I can think of for now. What would it take for you to get back in the stands? Tweet

Bob Hope's 'contemporary castle' hits market for first time
The Hopes and Modernist architect John Lautner had some disagreements over the design. But the actor and his wife, Dolores, enjoyed the unusual Palm Springs home for decades.
The Space Age home that famous architect John Lautner designed for actor Bob Hope and his wife, Dolores, has hit the market in Palm Springs, Calif., with an eye-popping $50 million price tag.
The 23,366-square-foot home was completed in 1980, apparently after a rather contentious design process between Lautner and the Hopes. It has six bedrooms, 10 full baths plus three half-baths, a putting green, a tennis court and two pools, one indoors and one outdoors. It's in an exclusive gated community of Modernist homes in the hills above Palm Springs, providing spectacular views of the Coachella Valley and the San Jacinto Mountains.
Post continues below
"The whole desert was at your feet," Linda Hope, the couple's daughter, told The New York Times, describing social events at the estate, which can accommodate 300 for dinner on its covered terrace.
You can see photos here of the home, including several that show the distinctive volcanolike hole in the roof. It's near another famous Lautner design, the Elrod House, which appeared in the 1971 James bond film, "Diamonds are Forever."
In a 1999 article in Vanity Fair, which said the house cost about $2 million to build, Dolores Hope described the home as a "contemporary castle." It has lots of steel, concrete and glass, with a copper-plated roof and a boulder jutting into the living room.
Reports say that Lautner and the Hopes had some disagreement over the design and furnishing, though Linda Hope told The Times her mother merely sought modifications to make the home more livable. For example, she changed the design so it was possible to get from the bedrooms to the front door without going out to a patio, Linda Hope said.
"I think my mother was a frustrated architect," she told The Times. Her mother also did a lot of remodeling at the family's primary home in the Los Angeles suburb of Toluca Lake. "My dad used to say every time he went away he needed a road map to get back through his house."
Other reports blamed the disagreements on the actor. Hope "made life hell for my father," Judith Lautner, the architect's daughter, told the Los Angeles Times in 2008. "He destroyed a lot of the thinking. He just stepped in and said, 'No, no, no.'"
Whatever their disagreements with the architect, the Hopes apparently ended up satisfied with the house, which they used mostly as a vacation home. They kept it until they died, he in 2003 at age 100 and she in 2011 at 102.
This was the Hopes' third home in Palm Springs. The two others, owned by Dolores Hope's estate, went on the market in December. One sold for $725,000 this month, and the other, listed at $469,000, has been removed from the multiple listing service.
Isn't it the architects job to translate a clients vision into reality? Rather than to create their own dream and feed their ego instead of giving the client what they want? Yep, pretty sure it is...
The size they are using is not the SF size of the home. The home is substantially smaller, in the 16,250 SF range. What theyare using might be all the SF Under Roof, not the air conditioned living space.
The roofline is like a hyperboic parabaloid clovderleaf with a 50' opening in the center. as shown in the photographs the roof line extends out substantially from the home, in the front and in the rear. It also covers the open are between the home and the gym and guest rooms+office. The home was built for public use, large parties. All of the family rooms are upstairs. The kitchen is uilitarian, laminate cabinets, stainless steel counters.
When he died in 2004, it was on the edge of being classifed as a Fixer, with long term neglected repairs and replacments needed, including slate flooring that was badly cracked, failing air conditioner chillers, an 85' black bottom pool whose plaster was popping, etc. The interior was 1970's westside, not desert decor. The powder room is huge, like 30+feet with lounge areas
It was not worth $21m in 2005, and the market has gone down on top of that fact. Unless it has been substandially renovated/repaired; it is merely a large home on a large lot, that needs updating.
I doubt that there is any value added today because of the Hope name, though there could be 5% or 10%. There is added value because it is an iconic structure that is world famous. This could ad 10% to 15%. The architect, John Lautner, distanced himself from the home, after suing Mrs. Hope and her contractor for not building his design.
The highest current sale in the Low Desert is in the $12m range for an 11,000 SF home. Adjust Down 20% for Condition, up 20% for Size {Law of Deminishing Returns}, ad for the Hope name at 5%-10%, the fame of the structure 10%-15%; and where do you end up. No where near $50m.
It is difficult to imagine how they conjured up the price, although Mrs. Hope thought it was worth $60m when I appraised it, and threatened to not pay the balance of my fee if I did not get the value up, and that I would never get any more work from the Hope Estate. I could hear her talking in the background. I told her CPA my report was completed, that I had over 30 years appraising without ever working for the Hope Estate, and they they were going to pay me or I would lien the home, then sue, and force the sale of the home at market value to get paid. A check came two days later.
Since I never met Bob Hope and was not his friend or employee, I can only judge him based on his public actions. So I look at all the years he spent entertaining our troops in war and peace. I look at the comfort, the reminders of home, the laughter he brought to those who were on the front lines, and I admire that very much. I look at all the millions of people he entertained through his movies and comedy routines, and all the smiles he created and I admire him for that.
None of us are all good or all bad. But on balance, I think Bob Hope did more good than harm. I salute him for his efforts on behalf of our troops.
My youngest brother came to the conclusion that God lived in that house. It's a natural assumption--after all, he was told that God lived in the heavens, and there, up on a mountain, was a bright, shining edifice in the sky.
Bob Hope was a great performer and personality. I'd love to have a tour of that house' maybe I can pretend to be a buyer....

A Calendar I put together from a series of photography, each month has a different fruit to match the season. All photography are done by me and are of self portraits.
Azita Menu Design
Rational: The layout of this menu is clean and simple to draw attention to the photographed products. The flame inspires hot just-off-the-grill foo
The design process that went into creating:
A commission I did for ~JimComp (deviant art) in March.
Recommendation: I commissioned Brittany to create an illustrated pin-up version of my wife. She is a true professional, the entire process was enjoyable, and the results were fantastic. Brittany started by providing me with several ideas (themes for the pin up), and quickly turned those themes into sketches for me to ponder. Once I settled on a theme, she was very communicative throughout the entire process, giving me regular updates, seeking my opinions, and responding to my requests and inputs. This is a special little gift for my wife, and I have no doubt she will love it. I will definitely be working with Brittany again.Sincerly.Jim C.
A series of logos I've put together in the past year.
Kiwanis Music Festival Poster
Rational: Title text gives off a spring-time feel, the rest of the text is pastels to tie in with the spring feel. The performers each represent form of music and dance, which will be performed at the festival. The flower and water-drops catch the viewers attention and also backs-up the feeling of spring.
A series of logos I designed for Forever Strong Fitness. The bold typefaces are used to represent the strength found in becoming fit. The infinitely symbol is used to tie in "forever" to the design. The Final Logo used the bottom right.
Angry Bull Package Design
Rational: The use of the strong graphic is created to draw attention to the product, also to create a strong recognizable symbol. The bull creates the feeling of bold taste and flavours.

When I see this and 'hear' Flonne speaking, I can't help but 'hearing' Sandy Fox's voice (the English V.A. who voices her in the anime.
And she also voices Sumomo from 'Chobits', too.

Kiddie ride
A kiddie ride - or kids' ride - is a coin-operated amusement ride for small children. Kiddie rides are commonly available in amusement parks, arcades, malls, hotel game rooms and outside supermarkets and discount department stores. Less commonly, they may also appear in other venues such as restaurants, food courts, grocery shops and auto dealerships. When activated by a coin, a kiddie ride entertains the rider with motion, depending on the ride type (miniature Ferris wheel, miniature carousel, track ride or stationary platform ride). Most rides include sounds and music, and some feature flashing lights, pedals, and buttons. Commercial kiddie rides often use simple but colorful equipment, with the driving mechanism usually hidden under vacuum formed plastic covers.

Many very old rides do not feature music; also, some vehicle rides may favor engine sounds instead of music. However, on rides that do feature music, early rides (and cheaper modern rides that imitate more well-known rides) are equipped with simple integrated circuits that continually play back one melody or repeat a set of melodies in sequence. These have evolved in the sense that the earliest musically-enabled rides played back only a single monophonic melody repetitively, while later ones played multiple polyphonic melodies, whilst sometimes including short sound or speech samples. Later rides could also use a tape deck, while more recent rides may have a solid state audio playback device akin to flash-based MP3 players. Usually the music chosen is generic children's songs, while on licensed rides the theme song for the character licensed would be used. However, in rare cases, there are rides that play standard pop music, and for private rides the owner may request a song that has personal relevance to be programmed into the ride.
Many modern rides are programmed to play multiple melodies with the music changing each time the ride is used, the logic being to prolong the interest of the child on the ride. However, some modern rides, in particular licensed character ones, are usually programmed to play a single melody or song which is usually the theme song of the character's television show or film. There are also some exceptions where there are licensed rides playing totally unrelated pieces of music or non-licensed rides that play only one particular tune, for example a song about cars on a car ride.
Certain rides exist that do not emphasize music, but play a running narration or tell a story instead. They usually have generic instrumental music running softly in the background while the story is being told.
While there are rides various where music is not related entirely (such as Old McDonald had a farm riding the dolphin or a giant wheel mini rides) sometimes more tunes like William Tel riding horse is older in the "champion horse" and another tune Wild West version of a bit pianoelectronic riding modern "Pony Express" of Spanish Falgas Amusement rides.
Modern rides[edit]
Newer, more advanced rides do not usually start as soon as coins are inserted; instead they prompt the rider, parent or guardian to press a start button, so as to allow the rider to seat him/herself comfortably before starting the ride. Often, these rides will also play a message before movement begins and may also play an ending message once the ride ends, to let the rider know that it is safe to disembark.
Other safety precautions commonly found in more advanced rides include:
- allowing use of the start button to pause the ride, so the rider can reposition themself or even disembark safely if desired;
- safety sensors that detect if anything is potentially obstructing the ride's movement and stop the ride accordingly until the obstruction is removed;
- overload sensors that stop the ride from moving if the weight limit on the ride is exceeded;
- a slow start/stop action so as not to shock or frighten younger riders.
To attract attention, most rides occasionally flash their lights or play a sound, or both, at set intervals, although many older rides, as well as low-cost, or knockoff, rides do not have an attract mode.
Some rides may, as mentioned above, narrate a story through sound or using a video monitor, the latter providing limited interaction with the video displayed.
Common kiddie ride themes[edit]
- Batmobile
- Bumble Bee
- Boat
- Miniature carousel
- Dinosaur
- Elephant
- Fire truck
- Helicopter
- Horse or pony
- Ice cream truck
- Jeep
- Dolphin
- Jumbo jet or other airplane
- Ladybug or Caterpillar
- The Larrymobile
- Motorcycle
- Police car
- Police motorcycle
- Roller coaster
- Space Shuttle
- School bus
- Sports car
- Stagecoach
- Taxi
- Tractor
- Train (usually stationary and not on a track, but train kiddie rides that move on a small track do exist)
Types of rides[edit]
Track rides[edit]
Track rides are usually rides in the form of a train on a track; in most coin-operated train-type track rides, the coin mechanism is on the locomotive unit of the ride and it can seat two to three toddlers. In general, the ride is powered by a low-voltage current passing through the tracks but sometimes the rides are powered by batteries. Most versions of these rides are specifically designed to carry younger children, due to the low-voltage used and the size of the ride, although it is possible to find bigger models designed for older children.
Track rides are not necessarily restricted to trains; animal track rides that feature horses or frogs have also been documented. In a similar fashion, another type of ride that would classify as a track ride would be one with an elongated base where the figure paces the length of the base, then turns and moves in the opposite direction on reaching its limit.
Miniature Ferris wheel rides[edit]
These rides usually have a safety cage which the child sits in and the ride moves in a clockwise motion at a moderate speed. The child usually sits facing to the side or facing front.[citation needed]
Carousel rides[edit]
Another common type of kiddie ride is the miniature carousel type. These rides are usually in the form of a small-sized carousel and newer models have the coin-box on the main pillar whereas older units have the coin box on a pole sticking out of the side of the ride.
Carousel rides featuring licensed characters (see below) are not common, but do exist. A Thomas the Tank Engine carousel ride is known to exist, as is one from a British television show for children called Play School. Carousel rides featuring the characters from Wiggles and Hi-5 have also been documented.
Hydraulic rides[edit]
More commonly built by European kiddie ride manufacturers like Automatic Toys Modena (ATM) from Italy, hydraulic rides are kiddie rides situated on a hydraulic arm that raise and lower the ride during their activation. Usually, the rider is given limited interaction with the ride in the form of up/down buttons or levers so that the rider can instruct the ride to fly higher or lower, giving the user the impression of some control over their experience.
Base rides[edit]
This kind of ride is perhaps the most common type, an animal or vehicle situated on a vacuum-formed base that moves up-and-down or side-to-side, or even both, when activated; some even move in a slithering-like motion. Usually, rides of this configuration have the motor hidden in the base, although some larger rides have the motor hidden in the ride-on figure instead. Some more advanced horse rides like those made by Falgas Spain have complicated mechanisms that alternate the ride between galloping and trotting motions.
Free movement (bumper car-like) rides[edit]
These kinds of rides are usually in the form of animals or vehicles. These are most common in Asia, particularly China. Unlike a real bumper car ride commonly found at funfairs, the coin-operated variant uses batteries instead of drawing electricity off of an overhead mesh, and one can ride it anytime, instead of having to wait for the operator to start the ride for them.
Teeter totter rides[edit]
These rides are generally teeter totters for one person. An inanimate figure typically sits at the opposite end of the ride. The rides moves on a gentle up-and-down motion mimicking that of a standard teeter-totter.
Video-game hybrids[edit]
These rides are a hybrid of kiddie ride and arcade video games. The rides usually incorporate a video display and, while the motion is synchronized to the events happening on the screen, the ride will start and end following the events on the screen. The ride is usually interactive and there are push-buttons to allow the rider to interact with the on-screen actions.
These rides should not be mistaken for simulators, which reproduce the action of a video game withpout offering further interactivity. Furthermore, the video-game hybrid is time-based and ends at a pre-determined time, regardless of the actions of the user. An example of a hybrid ride would be the Waku Waku Sonic Patrol Car ride and other waku-waku and wanpaku series of rides released by Sega Japan.
Character rides[edit]
In many cases, kiddie rides in the likes of famous cartoon characters or objects from TV shows or movies can be also found, usually at bigger shopping malls that can afford them due to the higher purchasing costs. A classic example would be the Batmobile ride mentioned earlier. One model looks like a miniature Batmobile on a stand, and occasionally flashes lights and plays a short tune from a Batman movie at set intervals.
Another example of a character kiddie ride would be a Clifford the Big Red Dog kiddie ride, manufactured by Jolly Roger Ltd of the United Kingdom and licensed by Scholastic UK. The ride costs around US$5000 purchased new. It talks in a girl's voice (presumably the voice of Emily Elizabeth) and plays the theme song from the PBS Kids TV series when it is ridden. A button to make Clifford bark also exists on the ride. Another is a Bob the Builder ride, which features Bob climbing onto Scoop (another version has got Roley, the Scoop version has Pilchard in his digger.). Including a Mario Kart ride manufactured by OMC Electronics Ltd. of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire and licensed to Nintendo which features Mario standing.
Character rides costs much more than generic rides when purchased new. The higher cost stems from the royalty of the voice samples and theme song as well as character licensing fees.
Knockoff rides that feature figures that look like those of famous cartoon characters exist. commonly knocked off characters include: Pikachu from Pokémon, Disney's Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse, and Hello Kitty. They are cheaper than real licensed rides, and are typically found at smaller establishments. However, as the name suggests, they are not licensed, and in certain areas with high intellectual property rights recognition, purchasers of knockoff rides can potentially get themselves entangled with legal complications. Furthermore, the ride figure might not be designed to look as close to a licensed character compared to genuinely licensed rides, possibly resulting in diminished recognition.
Kiddie rides and personal use[edit]
While kiddie rides are primarily used to garner extra income for commercial areas like shopping malls, supermarkets and amusement centers, like classic arcade game machines they are becoming increasingly common in homes in many developed countries, usually bought by game collectors and families. This renaissance is being led by Denver-based Kiddie Rides USA, and has received coverage in many magazines including Time, Fortune, United Airline's Hemispheres, and on CNBC.[1][2]
Many of the rides are ex-location units which have been written off by the original owner, usually to make way for newer games or rides, and bought for a fraction of what they would cost brand new, either directly from the previous owner or on online auction sites like eBay.
Usually, older rides would be slightly modified; the coin mechanism is replaced by a push button switch to allow for free play, while more sophisticated rides that have a mode switch would be set permanently to free play.

Memory And Its Improvement
WE have been speaking of certain special and unusual cases of recall of past experience. They are significant for the psychology of memory, but for the affairs of every-day life the practical question is, How may one's own memory be made efficient?
Psychology Of Testimony And Rumor
Finally, knowledge of the inadequacy of observation and memory, and conviction of the possibility of error by oneself are the best guarantees of truthful reports. The most positive witnesses and narrators of conversation are to be regarded with suspicion because of their very assurance of accuracy.
Psychology - Our Varying Selves
Howells has graphically described these varying selves in the same person through the observation of one of his characters in April Hopes. Mrs. Brinkley was speaking of the Pasmer family but with special reference to Alice Pasmer.
Starting Out In The World
My favorite position was that of Chairman of the Missionary Committee. When a very small boy, I delighted to read of the heroes of the mission fields, and at school, geography was the study I liked best of all.
First Traveling Experiences
I HADN'T been many days in Chicago when I began to feel homesick. I found it rather lonesome when I returned to my litttle lodging in the evening and found none there to greet me, and it was very different from the home life to which I had been accustomed.
Travel Experiences in New York
I knew nothing of New York, and when I spied a policeman I asked him for information. I explained that I would like to find a cheap boarding-place where I could stop for a few days, but the gentleman in uniform wasn't of any assistance.
World Travel - Working My Passage
When I entered the pantry, I found a large pile of dirty plates and cups and saucers waiting to be washed, and I began work without delay. I prepared the hot water in the sink, put in plenty of soft soap, and soon the pile was fast disappearing.
London Days and Doings
I STOOD on the dock where I had landed and looked about me. There, on my right hand, was the famous old Tower of London, grim and terrible in appearance, just as I had expected to find it.
London - An Interview with Mr. Gladstone
It occurred to me that the editors of some of the London papers might be interested in hearing about my travels, and that perhaps they would accept from me some articles describing my experiences.
London - An Audience with Queen Victoria
WHILE I was in London, I discovered that it would be very difficult for an obscure American boy, without influential friends, to gain the favor of a private audience with Queen Victoria.
A Tour Through England and Scotland
AS the end of my stay in England drew near, I hurried about, trying to see as much as possible of the country. Though I spent most of my time in the great metropolis, I felt that I couldn't be satisfied to start for the Continent without having seen something of the English country as well.
From London Through Belgium to Brussels
I HAD arranged to travel from London to Ostend upon a cargo-boat, because the fare was only four shillings, or one dollar, and this was much cheaper than the rate via Dover and the express steamers.
Adventure in the Royal Palace at Brussels
WHEN I arrived in Brussels from Ghent, I found myself in a city which was very different from the others I had seen in Belgium. The capital has lost the primitive style which so many of the other towns retain, and has become a second Paris.
Through Belgium and Holland to Germany
WITH my knapsack again on my back, and my sturdy staff in my hand, I set off in the early morning in the direction of Antwerp. I was sorry to leave the gay little Belgian capital, where I had enjoyed such pleasant times, and I promised myself that I would return there on my next visit to Europe, whenever that might be.
Along the River Rhine
COLOGNE is a large city—the largest in Rhenish Prussia. The expulsion of the Jews and other events in the fifteenth century, when it was almost unexampled in prosperity, caused it to decline ; but now its numerous shops and busy thoroughfares indicate that it is once more in a flourishing condition.
World Travel - Two Monarchs at Close Range
I USED to meet a great many Americans as I went from town to town along the Rhine, and one day I met a party of New York people, who told me they were on their way to Hamburg, where the German Emperor and King Humbert of Italy were to hold a grand review of the troops.
World Travel - A Fairyland of Lovely Scenery
AFTER leaving Germany, my next objective point was Switzerland, the land of snow-capped mountains and lovely lakes. I would have liked to visit Leipsic, Dresden, and others of the great German towns, but my supply of money was rapidly diminishing as the days passed, and I thought it wise to continue on my way to Paris, where I felt sure there would be some money awaiting me from the American newspapers.
Adventures Among the Alp
THERE were times when I found the Swiss peasantry inclined to be gruff and surly in manner, but as a rule they were simple, hospitable folk, who treated me with kindness, and charged me but little for my food and lodging.
Through Western Switzerland Into France
ONE of the most pleasurable incidents of my stay in Switzerland was my voyage down Lake Thun to Berne, the capital city. On both sides of this lovely lake are picturesque villages, and hillsides dotted here and there with chalets, villas and gardens, backed by the snowy giants of the Oberland.
Experiences in Paris
OCTOBER was nearly over when I arrived in Paris, the city to which I had looked forward with such pleasant anticipations. The trees on the boulevards were shedding their leaves, and the air was cool and refreshing.
With President Faure at the Elysée Palace
I had visited the principal points of interest in Paris, and as November was far advanced, and the weather was getting uncomfortably cool, I felt that I should go to London as quickly as possible, because there was much that I wanted to do there before returning to America.
Through Rural France
THERE was a season of pleasant weather toward the last of November, and on my way to Dieppe, where I was to take the boat to England, I spent some delightful days in the French country, walking from place to place, and enjoying these final pedestrian experiences of my European tour.
Last Days in London
IT had been my intention to go again to the little inn and see my friends there, when I returned to London from Paris, but after thinking the matter over I decided that it would be better, perhaps, for me to place myself in a position where I could be more independent.
World Travel - Home Again
IT was ten o'clock of a Friday night when the vessel on which I was a passenger came in sight of Sandy Hook lighthouse, and when I saw the revolving light, and knew that it stood upon American soil, I could have cried for joy.
The Second Trip Abroad
WHEN I had been at home a few days, visiting with my old friends, I decided that it was time for me to return to New York. It was hard to go; mother was miserable at the thought of my going so far from home again, though she was glad that I saw a career opening up for me in the city. She knew I would never again be satisfied in the town where I had been reared.
In Merrie England Once Again
The vessel made a good voyage, and a week from the day we left New York we entered the Mersey at Liverpool. The steamer moved slowly upstream until she reached the landing-stage, and then it was only a short time until we could see the cabin passengers disembarking.
The King of Sweden at a Sailors' Mission
THERE was one European monarch in 1900 whom I had long been anxious to meet at close range, and I was delighted when I learned, after our arrival in London, that. he was to visit England. King Oscar II., the fourth monarch of the Bernadotte dynasty to wear the twin crowns of the United Kingdom of Sweden and Norway, is famous the world over.
At the Great Paris Exposition
We crossed from London to Paris one Friday night. We had been fearful that the Channel would be rough, and that we might succumb to seasickness, but for once the water was really smooth, and we were able to sleep all the way across.
World Travel - Off for the Passion Play
It didn't take us long to plan where we would go. The one thing in Europe outside the Exposition which we were most anxious to see, was the famous Passion Play at Ober-Ammergau, and I told Jack that we would arrange so as to get there one Sunday while we were gone.
World Travel - Tyrolean Days
There were many things about Basle which were interesting to us. We had never before seen such houses as were some of those in the old, back streets of this city, and certainly we had never seen a cleaner, or more generally attractive little place.

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - On June 30, federal judge Madeline Hughes Haikala appointed a mediator in the battle to rezone Huntsville City Schools.
Chief Magistrate Judge John Ott will be the mediator between the city school district and the Department of Justice. Both entities have filed two different assignment plans for federal approval.
Huntsville City School Board member Laurie McCaulley said "time is of the essence" and the district hopes to sit down with the mediator and DOJ officials within a week.
Decatur attorney Greg Reeves has gone to mediation dozens of times over his legal career.
According to Reeves, the mediator usually will split both parties into separate rooms at the same location and then go back and forth with proposals in hopes of hammering out an agreement.
Judge Haikala appointed Chief Magistrate Judge John Ott to be the mediator.
Both sides would have to agree to that, and McCauley said the district has not decided whether they want Judge Ott to oversee mediation discussions.
According to Reeves, anything discussed behind closed doors between the two parties and the mediator is not public information.
Reeves said even the judge won't know details of any kind of an agreement prior to a mediator submitting documents to the court if an agreement is reached.
The cost of achieving "unitary status"
In June, the school system released numbers that showed what it took to achieve what administrators and the courts call "unitary status."
With last year and this year combined, the district has paid more than $448,999 to two law firms for legal support. For a demographic firm to analyze and study student makeup, the school system paid $154,000.
That figure totals just over $603,000 - only a fraction of the legal budget however, to put it into perspective, that dollar amount is equivalent to six to 10 teachers' salaries for just one year.
During mediation, both sides will discuss revisions to their plans, including proposals for improving the education programs in predominantly African-American schools.
The school board is allowed to proceed with its construction plans at this time, according to the documents.
Issues addressed in judge's order
The judge also addressed the fact that most schools in the district are either predominately African-American or white.
She ordered the district to remove from its website criticism on majority-to-minority transfers and remove a portion that says the district met desegregation requirements regarding teacher staffing because the court has not ruled on that yet.
She also criticized the DOJ, saying it was stagnant in monitoring the district closely. She said that for 20 years, the district was supposed to be submitting an annual report on desegregation improvements, but never did.
So far, a date has not been set for the school board and DOJ to meet.
School district responds
Two days after the judge's order, Huntsville City School Board held a special called meeting to discuss the rezoning battle.
The board went into executive session and met behind closed doors for about 20 minutes. When they returned, they gave a statement.
The school board said they hope to have a plan in place for unitary status by the end of the year. Superintendent Dr. Casey Wardynski said the board will work with the DOJ to create that road map.
