Salem, NH (PRWEB) January 28, 2014
ConnectLeader® has launched the ConnectLeader for Salesforce app, empowering businesses to connect with customers, partners and employees in entirely new ways.
The app, now available on the Salesforce1 AppExchange, the world's leading business apps marketplace, helps B2B sales reps connect with 7 to 12 live conversations in just one hour. Users can use their CRM credentials to login and does not require separate login procedures.
The ConnectLeader Team Dialer™ Live Conversation Automation and Personal Dialer™ dialing applications can be launched from within the application allowing sales reps to connect with more conversations and generate more sales in less time.
Comments on the News
"Now a sales rep has two to three one-hour dialing sessions per week. In one session the ConnectLeader agents dial an average of 150 calls and the sales rep has an average of 7 live conversations." Rob Consoli, V.P., Liaison Technologies
"We have a standing goal for our telemarketing rep to get three appointments per week. Our rep crushed that this year with ConnectLeader, usually getting 5 to 8 appointments per week. ConnectLeader helps us make a lot more calls and leave a lot more voice mails." Chad Davis, V.P., FMSI
"Everyone at ConnectLeader is very excited about the launch of the ConnectLeader for Salesforce app," said Senraj Soundar, CEO of ConnectLeader. "Our customers have always benefited from ConnectLeader's tight two-way integration with Salesforce. The new app will transform the way our product is used." Senraj Soundar, CEO, ConnectLeader
"We find that B2B sales executives are constantly looking for ways to increase their sales team effectiveness while simultaneously driving their costs down," explained Mark Lynch, Director of Sales and Business Development for ConnectLeader. "The app is able to accomplish both goals. Essentially, highly-paid sales reps can now focus on selling and closing, rather than dialing and leaving voicemails." Mark Lynch, Director of Sales & Business Development, ConnectLeader
ConnectLeader users can increase the effectiveness of ConnectLeader's powerful dialing platform while increasing the security of their data.
Users can specify what records to update in their CRM with data gathered during the Connectleader dialing process. Data updates can happen in near real-time and can be used to clean up the calling list for subsequent dialing.
Product Facts:
About Team Dialer and Personal Dialer
Team Dialer™ Live Conversation Automation solution combines state-of-the-art cloud-based software technology with a team of live dialing agents who perform non-productive calling activities like navigating phone trees, gatekeepers, and leaving voice mail messages.
Personal Dialer™ dialing software helps sales reps increase their productivity by automatically dialing numbers and interfacing with the CRM application.
About ConnectLeader
ConnectLeader's revolutionary products provide huge productivity lift to B2B sales organizations. We are the pioneer in the market to offer a single dialing platform to cater for Live Conversation Automation & individual auto dialing that provides visibility into the dialing process and provide two-way live bi-directional synching with Salesforce and other CRM systems.
Many B2B customers have been relying on ConnectLeader Team Dialer Live Conversation Automation solution and Personal Dialer auto dialing software to increase sales productivity for multiple years. ConnectLeader technology increases sales rep's productivity by 8 times. Instead of working all day to talk to decision makers, a sales rep could talk to the same number of prospects in 1 hour using our technology. Our clients are taking advantage of this technology to increase their reps' pipeline in a shorter amount of time and give them the opportunity to focus on closing more deals. http://www.connectleader.com

One of the most obvious appeals of fresh snow is that it blankets the world anew, but what about how it blankets the world? Some dumps are all sparkly and hard-edged but some storms slip away and leave everything soft and gauzy, as if they've draped a sheet of linen over the sun and sifted confectioner's sugar over the land. Has a double fall line ever looked more beautiful or fun?

Tomcat - Form based declarative Security

I am using
4.1.30 on Windows 2000 Prof. The following is my web.xml.
Whenever the user tries to access any
page in the application at random in a new browser,without logging in first, (by copying and pasting the url, if he knows!), my application redirects the user to a login page.I am using FORM based authentication.
After logging in successfully, Tomcat always seems to be displaying the JSP page or URL which he initially requested.
But I am interested in displaying the Welcome page(search.jsp) listed in the web.xml, which happens to be the JSP page in my application, which has the correct navigational links.
Any ideas of how to do this?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"> <web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name> <display-name>This is the display name of my J2EE component</display-name> <description>This is the description of my J2EE component</description> <servlet-class>mypack.TestServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/servlet/TestServlet</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>/jsp/search.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>Second Web Protected Resources</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern> <http-method>GET</http-method> <http-method>POST</http-method> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>upgrades</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> <login-config> <auth-method>FORM</auth-method> <form-login-config> <form-login-page>/jsp/autoLogin.jsp</form-login-page> <form-error-page>/jsp/autoLoginError.jsp</form-error-page> </form-login-config> </login-config> <security-role> <role-name>upgrades</role-name> </security-role> </web-app>

This is the way form based security works. The container is only required to request security credentials when a secured resource is requested. It does not handle page navigation. To do what you are attempting you may need to include a session variable that is set in the search.jsp. Then in the other pages if the session variable is not set automattically redirect them back to the search.jsp. If you search the tomcat documentation you will find additional details on form based security. java.sun.com is a good resource as well.

Thanks Jeremy,
But I thought all real applications used out there might be requiring the same functionality as my application. After a successful login, it makes sense to redirect the user to the Welcome Page.(the first page in your application with the appropriate navigation links and data loaded) and not to the URL/resource that the user requested initially.

The reason I am curious is that I discovered something strange yesterday
in Tomcat with Form based authentication. My understanding was also the same about Form-based authentication.
If I have an
tag at the top of my form in the login.jsp used for
by the form authentication, then the user gets redirected to the welcome page mentioned in the web.xml after a successful login and not to the original URL that the user typed in the new browser window!
<img src="" width="" height="">
I have using Tomcat 4.1.30 on Windows Prof.
I cannot believe that this empty image has solved my problem, but I wonder if this is this a bug or a feature in Tomcat, or is it something that I am missing fundamentally in understanding the concept of Form-Based Authentication in Application Servers?

TG drives Maserati's GranCabrio
Maserati's GranCabrio is more than a match for the beauties of Rome. Well, apart from the women...
Posted: 22 Feb 2011
But you know what, it actually doesn't matter. The GranCabrio is all about sensation, noise and atmosphere. Sensational looks, beautiful noise, atmospheric Mars Bar interior. This is a surprisingly busy end of the market, and the Maserati finds itself up against the likes of the Aston Martin Vantage Roadster, BMW M6, Jaguar XKR, Mercedes-Benz SL500, Porsche Carrera, and maybe even the new Audi R8 Spyder. Now that's what you call context. But I can't imagine a time or a place on the entire planet when you wouldn't be anything less than delighted to have the key to this Maserati in your hand. Hell, when there's no petrol left you could just park it up and look at it.

Recipe by Cecile
"This is a smooth, creamy dessert with a rich, nutty crust, plus pudding, whipped cream, and cream cheese layers. It's great for a potluck or for after dinner. It needs to be made a day ahead. Nuts in crust are optional."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons
white sugar
1/2 cup
finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup
butter, melted
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
1 cup
confectioners' sugar
1 cup
whipping cream
1 (3.9 ounce) package
instant chocolate pudding mix
1 1/2 cups
1 (3.4 ounce) package
instant vanilla pudding mix
It tastes fabulous BUT..... it the layers seemed too thin. There doesn't seem enough of everything for a 9x13 pan. Next time I will double it and still put it in the same pan.
Didn't turn out as I had expected or the versions that I have tried but wasn't bad though.

This is another of those comfort dessert recipes that have pleased many, many people for many, many years. I wonder how many times this recipe, or the dessert itself, has been passed around or shared for probably the last three decades? There's plenty of opportunity with this recipe for your own spin...a graham cracker crust maybe, or different flavors of pudding? A layer of strawberries or bananas with vanilla pudding. Topped with coconut, or all chocolate pudding, topped with Heath bars. Every time I've made this, no matter what the variation, everyone has loved this dessert.
Excellent recipe. Great for families and casual dinner parties or potlucks. The secret to this recipe is to be patient and ensure every level has set before moving on to the next.
Everyone seems to LOVE this dessert!! I like to use Pecan Sandies (shortbead/pecan cookies) for the bottom layer. I also do a layer of walnuts. This dessert is a huge hit everytime I make it.
I don't like pudding very much but I love this recipe and so does my husband. I have made it several times and here are the changes I made, 1. I make it in a 9x9 pan and lightly press the crust into the pan otherwise it is hard to cut into bars, 2. for the first layer I mix the cream cheese and one cup of whip cream together and then skip the second whip cream layer, this gives the cream cheese a lighter texture. I have also used cool whip instead of whip cream (whip cream tastes better but cool whip is faster and cheaper), 3. I skip the vanilla pudding layer. Next time I think I will try the recipe with marscopone cheese instead of cream cheese.
Awesome recipe, I always make this dessert, for Christmas. Instead of chocolate pudding I use pistascho pudding. It is always a hit.
Delicious!!!! But next time I will double the recipe or use a 9x9 pan.

Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah waves to the crowd in Beirut, on Monday, Sept. 17, 2012. (The Daily Star/Hasan Shaaban)
BEIRUT: Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah recently held talks in Tehran with Iran's supreme leader, and is expected to tackle allegations about his party's role in the Syrian conflict and Lebanon's political crisis during a much anticipated speech on May 9. Sources close to Hezbollah told The Daily Star that Nasrallah held talks in recent weeks with Sayyed Ali Khamenei. Hezbollah has not issued an official statement about the meeting.
But Hezbollah-affiliated news website Al-Ahd posted a picture dated April 15 showing Nasrallah standing next to Khamenei.
"Al-Ahd publishes an exclusive photo gathering Iran Supreme Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei and Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah," read the text attached to the picture. Al-Ahd did not disclose further details.
Nasrallah, whose movements have been very restricted since the 2006 war with Israel, rarely makes public appearances. Most of his speeches and appearances in the aftermath of the 34-day war were transmitted via video link from an unknown location.
The last time Nasrallah made a public appearance outside Lebanon was in 2010 when he held talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The media had dubbed the February 2010 tripartite talks as "the great meeting."
After an absence of nearly two months, Nasrallah is expected to tackle a wide range of thorny topics during an address on May 9.
Indignation is growing on the local, regional and international levels over Hezbollah's alleged involvement in the Syrian conflict.
On Sunday, the opposition Syrian National Council warned that Hezbollah's involvement could lead to greater risks in the area and urged the Lebanon to take the necessary measures to stop "Hezbollah's aggression."
Nasrallah is also expected to touch upon the political crisis in Lebanon and efforts to form a new government. Hezbollah has repeatedly called for the formation of an all-inclusive Cabinet instead of a nonpolitical one in a bid to handle the major tasks and challenges Lebanon will encounter in the near future.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Season 3, Episode 6 Sneak Peek: Someone Spies on Jason & Spencer (VIDEO)
Now that the name April Rose has entered our Pretty Little Liars vocabulary, we're hungry for any clues about this mystery person. In this sneak peek of Season 3, Episode 6: "The Remains of the 'A'", Spencer (Troian Bellisario) asks Jason (Drew Van Acker) if he's ever heard of her.
The half-siblings talk about "the evidence" that apparently proves Garrett (Yani Gellman) is innocent or guilty, and will probably be thrown out. But Spencer has "a way to make sure that Garrett's case doesn't fall apart." What do you think this evidence is? And is Jason lying about knowing April Rose?
The creepiest part of this clip, however, has to do with who's spying on Jason and Spencer. Someone we haven't seen in a while is watching them from a car. Watch the clip to see who it is!
Catch an all-new episode of PLL on Tuesday, July 17 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

The debates are tomorrow! (I'll be at the opera, seeing Don Giovanni with the sublime milliner Satanica Batcakes sharing the balcony box with me. But I'm TiVoing them). Expect lots of goofy videos post-debates, but here are a few culled from the intertubes showing the huge affect elections have on pop culture including, of course, celebrity reminders to get out the vote.
Chuck Norris' call to GOTV is especially interesting because he is making a direct reference to the Dark Ages, and calling for conservative Christians to vote in order to prevent
a thousand years of darkness.
the during the so-called "Dark Ages," lasting from the Fall of Rome usually given as 476 and depending on your historical bent and knowledge, lasting through to 1000 or to the 14th Century. But how dark were they? Well dark because we don't have that much knowledge about them. Christianity was expanding. And of course it was the age of Muslim expansion as well. So wait, is Chuck Norris claiming that if Christians don't vote, Christianity will expand? Or that Islam will expand? Or that we will have "darkness" because the internets will crash and thus all of future generations' knowledge about LOLcats will be destroyed much like the dark ages are considered dark because we don't have a lot of information about them?
Just vote, okay?

Steve Jobs dies at 56
Larry Ellison, Jobs' close friend and fellow Silicon Valley billionaire and the CEO of Oracle Corp., publicly contemplated buying Apple in early 1997 and ousting its leadership. The idea fizzled, but Jobs stepped in as interim chief later that year.
He slashed unprofitable projects, narrowed the company's focus and presided over a new marketing push to set the Mac apart from Windows, starting with a campaign encouraging computer users to "Think different."
Apple's first new product under his direction, the brightly colored, plastic iMac, launched in 1998 and sold about 2 million in its first year. Apple returned to profitability that year. Jobs dropped the "interim" from his title in 2000.
In the decade that followed, Jobs kept Apple profitable while pushing out an impressive roster of new products. Apple's popularity exploded in the 2000s. The iPod, smaller and sleeker with each generation, introduced many lifelong Windows users to their first Apple gadget.
The arrival of the iTunes music store in 2003 gave people a convenient way to buy music legally online, song by song. For the music industry, it was a mixed blessing. The industry got a way to reach Internet-savvy people who, in the age of Napster, were growing accustomed to downloading music free. But online sales also hastened the demise of CDs and established Apple as a gatekeeper, resulting in battles between Jobs and music executives over pricing and other issues.
Jobs' command over gadget lovers and pop culture swelled to the point that, on the eve of the iPhone's launch in 2007, faithful followers slept on sidewalks outside posh Apple stores for the chance to buy one. Three years later, at the iPad's debut, the lines snaked around blocks and out through parking lots, even though people had the option to order one in advance.
The decade was not without its glitches. In the mid-2000s, Apple was swept up in a Securities and Exchange Commission inquiry into stock options backdating, a practice that artificially raised the value of options grants. But Jobs and Apple emerged unscathed after two former executives took the fall and eventually settled with the SEC.
Jobs' personal ethos - a natural food lover who embraced Buddhism and New Age philosophy - was closely linked to the public persona he shaped for Apple. Apple itself became a statement against the commoditization of technology - a cynical view, to be sure, from a company whose computers can cost three or more times as much as those of its rivals.
For technology lovers, buying Apple products has meant gaining entrance to an exclusive club. At the top was a complicated and contradictory figure who was endlessly fascinating - even to his detractors, of which Jobs had many. Jobs was a hero to techno-geeks and a villain to partners he bullied and to workers whose projects he unceremoniously killed or claimed as his own.
In 2005, following the bout with cancer, Jobs delivered Stanford University's commencement speech (which you can view in the video below).
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life," he said. "Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."
Jobs is survived by his biological mother, sister Mona Simpson; Lisa Brennan-Jobs, his daughter with Brennan; wife Laurene, and their three children, Erin, Reed and Eve.

Alameda's Little Ice Rink will welcome Olympic ice skater Brian Boitano to a retro-themed event this Friday, Jan. 20.
Boitano, who won a gold medal in men's figure skating in the 1988 Olympics and is a Bay Area native, will judge a disco dance and costume contest starting at 8 p.m. The contests are part of Little Ice Rink's Disco Ice Day celebration.
"Ice rink attendance has been fantastic," said Carrie Ewing, vice president of operations for Perforce, a global software company founded 15 years ago in Alameda. "I'd say we've had roughly 6,000 visitors, and people are loving the chance to skate outdoors."
The ice rink, which is open through Jan. 29 on Park Street, offers "happy hour" prices on tickets from 3 to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. On Saturdays and Sundays, local ice skaters perform at 1:45 and 3:45 p.m.
The 3,000-square-foot outdoor rink is located at the corner of Park and Tilden Way. In addition to renting skates, the rink also offers novice skaters the use of handy plastic "seals" that they can lean on as they move around the rink.

Robbie Keane underlined his enduring class by scoring twice in the Republic of Ireland's emphatic 5-0 win over 10-man Northern Ireland.
The Tottenham striker, likely to be looking for a new club this summer, moved within two goals of an international half-century as the Republic crushed their neighbours in the Carling Nations Cup in Dublin.
Stephen Ward and Simon Cox marked their international debuts with a goal and Northern Ireland's misery was compounded by a Craig Cathcart own goal and a red card for Adam Thompson.

tough thing as this seems a bit of a 'sleeping' thread. Anyway, I am totally new here, and searching for additional info on my scooter which is a '96 Aprilia Gulliver 50 AC (horizontal Minarelli). I guess it is a well-known engine for all of you, and maybe you can help. Looking for compression value (and not ratio) as it seems I have worn rings on the piston, but before disassembling I want to make sure and give testing a go.
I wish this thread got more action. I recently saw an 02 aerox for sale in the USA. Anyone else seen them out there? if so, where? this one was in FLA....

Rhubarb recipes?
My rhubarb is going mad. I make rhubarb crisp, and rhubarb pie, and rhubarb cobbler, and sometimes mix in strawberries and/or raspberries to these.
I've made rhubarb-ginger jam in the past, but I don't think there is quite enough for that.
Has anyone tried rhubarb buckle? If so, do you have a recipe?
Can anyone think of other things to do with rhubarb? I remember a Middle Eastern recipe recommending rhubarb with lamb or chicken, but can't seem to find it.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Nvidia rolls out speedy 3D graphics hardware
- Related Stories
The dawn of VistaJanuary 26, 2007
The new GeForce 8800 graphics cards (click here for CNET review) can allocate processing power as needed to create strikingly realistic 3D images. Several gaming PC companies, including Alienware and Velocity Micro, have announced plans to carry the 8800 graphics card in their systems.
Nvidia's new graphics cards will help PCs deal with a wave of graphics-intensive applications arriving in 2007. Among those will be the Aero graphics technology in Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system, high-definition video and the DirectX10 application programming interface, said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and chief executive officer of Nvidia.
Computer graphics are currently created through a series of processing steps, explained Ujesh Desai, general manager of Nvidia's desktop GPU business. In a basic example, the chip draws the outline of an image (vertex shading), then fills in the color shading to finish off the image, a process known as pixel shading.
The problem with this approach is that some images have complex shapes but relatively simple coloring, yet the number of transistors dedicated to either vertex shading or pixel shading is fixed. In this example, the transistors dedicated to pixel shading have to sit idle while waiting for the vertex shader to finish its task.
Nvidia's unified shader architecture allows the graphics processor to use some of the idle transistors that were previously dedicated to pixel shading to help with the vertex shading. It works the other way, too, so that if an image is relatively simple but colorful, the vertex shading transistors can switch over to pixel shading. This should dramatically improve the overall graphics performance of PCs with the GeForce 8800 cards, Desai said.
The GeForce 8800 GTX and 8800 GTS are the first graphics cards to use the new technology, and they are available immediately, Desai said. The GTX costs $599, while the GTS costs $449 and offers slightly less performance.

- Of course Alienware will jump on this band wagon, like they do
with any new technology, but the question; is will they be able to
I preordered an Alienware mALX system back in June and they
failed to deliver it by the end of September having given an
estimated despatch date of December. Looking at the Alienware
site today, their estimated despatch date is now January the 8th.
This is fine, but when customer services keep telling you that
"the cases are due in any day now" and then fail to call you back,
this is a pretty bad show!

I cancelled my order and bought a MAC instead.
So, great new gfx card ahoy, but don't expect to see it in an
Alienware any time soon!

- What you went from a gaming machine to a overhyped crap!
- Why the hell would you buy a freakn Macintosh after wanting a gaming machine. You won't be able to play any games with that mac except a few from years ago! Unless you got an intel mac, even then though you would have to dual boot with boot camp. Is osx worth having to reboot to play a game, or use a windows app? I for one think the hype with osx is horrible, you have to use apples expensive drm ridden proprietary apps, because you don't have much choice at all. A Mac is fine if all you do is surf the net, but for a "do it all" computer a windows machine is the way to go. Especially if you build it yourself, and semi-futureproof it with components that you can keep when you upgrade! Yeah thats another thing you can't do with a mac. you pay $2000+ for one and in 2 years you have to throw that away and pay another 2 grand. No thank you, I upgrade my windows machine every 2 years for around 300-600 depending on whats out, I just got a core2duo 2.66ghz, 1gb ddr2ram, a geforce7900gs, and a new psu for $550. Keeping my old slick black X-dreamer case, drives and peripherals. Well have fun not playing games on the mac.

- If you had the time...
- If you had all that time to wait for them to deliver it to you, just build it yourself. The problem with Alienware is they are now too big for their own good. Sure they have been strong innovators in a market they nearly created for themselves but they are now too main stream to continue being the leading edge gaming system company they were seeking to be.
For the money, build it yourself from the system specs you see from Alienware. You'll save enough money to upgrade it next y ear to the latest and greatest.

Samsung Hue II R600

Replying to: missed call alert by weathers7388
Re: missed call alert
weathers7388 said:
Does anyone know if there is a MISSED call/text alert on the Hue II? I never know if I have missed a call or a text until I pick up my phone to use it. My carrier refered me to Samsung customer service but their instructions are on how to set the ringtype, not the MISSED alert. Like the phone, but I need that alert.
I have this same question. My old Motorola would make a little beep periodically to notify me. Now there's no clue that I missed a call. My husband says it's because I didn't read the manual, so I'm glad someone else had the problem, too. Misery loves company.

Concept art, entertainment design, and industrial design
I am currently a sophomore studying industrial design at RISD. So far i like it, and i've had it in my head that im gonna be a product designer for awhile. But as i think about it...do i really want to design toothbrushes and things for a career? I know designers design lots of cool things but sometimes...they just design the most mundane objects. I really enjoy making things too, which is party why i got into industrial design, but i feel like i can work on that on my own.
I've been looking at concept art and stuff for a long time now. It always interests me to see the art behind movies and games and stuff. It struck me that maybe, i dont wanna design toothbrushes for a living and i want to design crazy robots and cars and things. The question is...is industrial design a suitable path for this? its too late for me to switch majors now...but i can take illustration courses as non major credits. When i applied to schools i was accepted to Art Center and RISD. I chose RISD because i wanted more of a college feel and it was not practical to go to art center due to housing and transport issues...perhaps i made the wrong choice?
So i guess the question is how can i continue with my industrial design education while still maintaining possibilities for a career in concept art or entertainment design?

I think you're in a great position. It is more about the work you want to do (personal) and if you can apply what you're learning in ID for entertainment purposes.

Faeruithir, have you voiced your concerns or talked about your specific goals to your professors at RISD? My bet is that many of them have hands-on experience in the working ID field, and could offer you advice or direct you to some resources for personal research. Perhaps you could speak with your academic advisor as well, maybe they would allow you to custom tailor your degree program a bit, and take some classes outside of the typical ID-major path (unless you can already accomplish this through wintersession?).
There are "boring" and "fun" jobs in any career field, and worries about changing majors is common for many college students. Keep building toward your goals, let yourself take chances, and make use of all of the resources you have available to you while you're in school. Good luck!

Many of the most successful concept artists today have majored in industrial design, Syd Mead being one of them.

Thanks for the advice guys.
Im going to finish this year and try and do some personal work during the summer and see how it turns out. I'll continue on the ID path next year and take all my advanced studios and stuff to see how i like it and maybe also take some illustration courses as non major studios.

My hair is thick, wavy and dry from the seemingly endless winter months. I had been using Head & Shoulders for the past 6 months due to awful dandruff which I attributed to our town's very hard water. I happened to see a litre sale in a salon store with the Joico products on sale for $34.99 - $43.99 for the shampoo and conditioner sets, so I decided I would pick up a set to give my hair better treatment. The Moisture Recovery set came up to $36 with tax which is reasonable for the amount of product. Regular price of the litre sets are anywhere from $50 - $100
First of all, I loved the smell. It smells fresh and light, something I prefer to overpowering floral or perfumed scents. The woman in the store suggested I use Moisture Recovery as my hair would definitely benefit from what the product offers to do. Once I got home I tried the shampoo and I immediately felt my purchase was worth it. The first wash, there is little to no lathering, but once you rinse and repeat, there is a lot of foam and gentle cleaning. It rinsed clean from my hair. I find that the pump distributes a very precise amount, but I think two applications are necessary with this shampoo. All in all I think I made a wise choice in buying this particular type from Joico. I am enjoying soft and smooth hair that smells great and looks healthier already.

I got the huge bottle of this...boy was it a mistake! Just for reference, I have thick poofy hair with lots of natural waves. I need a shampoo that is non-volume, even anti-volume if you can believe it haha! Despite people's complaints that this shampoo weighed down their hair, I figured that's what I needed anyway. Get the stuff, use it in the shower, and I can feel right away as I am washing that it feels like I am ADDING gunk to my hair if anything! It doesn't even suds until the second time washing. As my hair drys, it looks greasy and weight down/flat at the top...the rest of my hair has these annoying fly aways. I used it for the week, needing to wash my hair everyday instead of every other day, and it didn't get any better.

I've never written a shampoo review because I am usually so underwhelmed by shampoos in general...usually, for me, they're either too drying (in the case of most sulfate ones) or they don't really cleanse (in the case of sulfate-free ones). This is by far the only shampoo that's ever worked so well for me that I would feel compelled to write a review.
For one, I LOVE the scent. Clean, ocean-y (and I am a sucker for those mid-90s "ocean" type scents like Escape)--this reminds me most of that. I love the smell--which is NOT overwhelming, just nice. (so many hair products are really overwhelmingly scented, even when the scent is pleasant--Garnier Fructis, are you listening????)
Second, my hair has been just awesome since I started using this. For reference, I have damaged, dry, fine hair that I am repairing from heavy highlights/ bleach. I have a ton of hair, but it's very fine--a lot of things just weigh it down & make it look tacky and greasy.
Third, I use this in conjunction with Joico K-Pak Intense Hydrator (which is also INCREDIBLE!!!!) and about once a week (sometimes 2X, I am nursing my formerly bleached hair back to health) I follow this shampoo with K-Pak classic deep-penetrating reconstructor, followed by the intense hydrator.
My hair hasn't felt so great--and so light (I can't stress that enough!!! not weighed down by -cones) in years! THanks Joico...your products and research are awesome. You really treat hair as something as sensitive as skin.

When I first started using this shampoo/cond I didn't think it was anything fantastic, but it certainly did nothing bad. I took a break from it for a long while, then found it in my cabinet and decided to finish it. For some reason now I'm loving it, it makes my hair smell so good (nice scent all day long) and I generally have good hair days when I use this. Doesn't dry my hair at all and does help maintain moisture. Will repurchase, I'm almost out!

UPDATE Sept 13, 2011: Ok, the lack of hair loss has continued. Not always, but a lot more than ever before. I'm talking 0 to less than 10 strands in the drain (how is that even possible!?). Also, rinse and repeat or forget using it at all.
PROS: Originally I thought this was a pretty basic shampoo with no special qualities, except that this I lose a TON less hair in the shower. I don't have damaged hair and my hair has never broken off/fallen out, but in the shower, a lot just naturally comes out, all the loose hairs just get dislodged. I thought the less hair loss was maybe the Vitamin D that I started a month before I used this but read that Vitamin D usually takes effect in 3 months. Also, I didn't notice less hair loss till the first wash with this stuff. Worth mentioning no matter what the cause was. Now I lose little to almost NO hair in the shower. Since then I've discovered this shampoo actually works really well, provided that you follow the instructions: later, rinse, REPEAT. You must repeat. I was afraid of dryness but the shampoo is gentle, so much that with one lather/rinse only my hair would be left dry because it was not properly cleaned, so I started doing it twice with much better results. I also don't really "wash" my hair with it, I mostly concentrate on my scalp. The second wash makes HUGE body wash like foam and feels like overkill, it works.
CONS: Not sure if it really moisturizes hair, but it just doesn't leave it feeling raw or super dry. And since I need to lather, rinse, and repeat I will use it up faster.
OVERALL: I'm sticking with it. I might actually buy it again!

packaging: functional, no complaints. a pump would have been MORE convenient but meh.
price: alright for a salon shampoo, however drugstore shampoos do the same job.
product: i expected this to nourish and salvage my dry, damaged hair however the result i got was only mediocre. it did no damage but considering joico's reputation and better drugstore shampoos that i've tried, this one isn't a big winner :)

i would loveee this Shampoo, but i seem to lose more hair in the shower than usual when i use it, same goes for the treatment balm in the same range. such a shame!! It cleans well though and is one of the only shampoos that i have used that doesnt make my hair feel dry before conditioner. my hair also dried shinier and smoother (maybe a tiny bit flatter at the roots) than usual. I would recommend to anyone who wasnt paranoid about hair fall in the shower. my hair is damaged, so its prob just me.

I've been using this shampoo for over a month. Stopped using it a couple days ago and here's why. It made my scalp itchy, weighed my hair down, hair felt greasy, frizzy, and it made my hair really dry. It just did not work for me.

My hair is curly, extremely dry. @ first, I felt as if this product had made my hair drier. But eventually after a couple washes my hair felt EXTREMELY soft. I don't mind the price. Smells great ! Will continue purchasing.

I decided to try this after getting the black bleached out of the underside of my hair. I need moisture badly on parts of my hair and this made my hair feel very soft and I like that it doesn't have any protein. The downside is by the end of the day, my hair felt like it was dirty. My hair is color treated so I try to only wash it every 2-3 days but I can absolutely NOT do that with this product. This would be great for someone with damaged hair that is normal or thick. My hair is just too fine to handle all the moisture.

Watch: Kings of Leon perform 'Beautiful War' on MTV EMA 2013 like grownupsAdd to Favorites | 2013 MTV EMA's
Kings of Leon brought the 2013 MTV Europe Music Awards into the grownup zone Sunday (Nov. 10), taking "don't make a scene, dear" literally with their performance of "Beautiful War" off the band's new album, "Mechanical Bull."
There was no twerking; there were no pole dancers and no naked painted ladies, and no one descending from the sky dressed in mirrored prisms and wrapped in a maypole. There were just beautiful lyrics, expertly-crafted musicianship and a tiny bit of pyrotechnics -- because after all, it's still an MTV awards show.
Performers like Austin Mahone -- who helped open the show from a live New York stage, rife with elaborate choreography and half-hearted lip syncing -- should take note. Sometimes it's just about the music. And that's OK. Thanks, Kings.

The city of Santo André (Portuguese for Saint Andrew), on the Tamanduateí River, is in São Paulo State, 18 km away from the São Paulo city, in the most industrialized region of Brazil. It is known as a core part of the ABC region (A = Santo André, B = São Bernardo do Campo, C = São Caetano do Sul).
The settlement, which became a town in 1553, experienced rapid growth beginning in the 1930s. Industries include chemical engineering, textiles, oil, metal products, metallurgy and printed materials. It is an industrial city, but more than 60% of Santo André's total area are protected by water law.
In 1910 it became accessed with a railway named the São Paulo Railway Co. or the Estrada de Ferro Santos Jundiaí. In 1954, it became the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Santo André.
In 2002 the city shot to national prominence with the assassination of serving mayor Celso Daniel, the case of which remains unsolved.
Titles: Brazilian National Cup Champion in 2004, beating Flamengo in final game at Maracana Stadium with more than 80,000 fans against. Paulista 2nd Division Champions in 1967, 1975, 1981 and 2008. Copa Estado de São Paulo 2003 Copa São Paulo Under-20 2002
Santo André has city partnerships with the following cities:

When Pixie opened her gift that held her new baby doll, pure joy filled her face. (And THAT is why I stay up to 1:00 a.m. every night!) The second photo is when the gown went up and she noticed the belly button. No words... but a look for me that said, "Of course my Gammy would put a belly button on my dolly." BTW... she named the dolly Malena... actually, Princess Malena!
The dolly in the white sleeper was the one I made for the Little Lady... due on Saturday, and the one below it is the one I made for Pixie's birthday.
Several months ago I featured a pattern for Basic Knit Dolls. When I designed the dolls, I designed them for beginner sewers, and the dolls are knitted flat, and require seams.
The doll I'm sharing today is a variation of the 12" Basic Knit Doll, and it is knitted in the round, so there are no seams on the legs, arms, torso or head. Unlike the Basic Knit Doll, which starts by knitting the legs, with this doll you begin at the head and work your way down.
Click here to add this pattern to your Ravelry Queue.
I will share the pattern in two parts:
The 12" Doll's Body
The Face and Hair
Here is Part 1: Knitting the 12" Doll's Body
worsted weight yarn (less than 1 skein) - I prefer to use 100% wool because it stands up to play better than acrylics which tend to ball up over time.
Size 6 needles or needles that fit the gauge.
22 stitches and 28 rows = 4" square in stockinette stitch
IMPORTANT: Leave long yarn tails (12" - 18") when you cast on or when you cut yarns. These will be used for sewing up the dolls.
DIRECTIONS FOR HEAD, BODY AND LEGS of the 12" Doll
Beginning at head and using your double pointed needles (dpn), cast on (CO) 50 stitches.
Divide evenly on 3 needles, join in circle, and place marker (pm).
Knit for 26 rows. This makes up the head. Using a contrasting yarn, mark this row.
For the body, continue knitting for 40 more rows ending at marker.
You will be working 1 leg at a time.
Place 25 stitches on a holder.
Divide the remaining 25 stitches on 3 dpns and join.
Knit for 26 rows.
DO NOT bind off. Cut thread leaving a long tail.
Thread the tail through a yarn needle. Slide the needle through each stitch as you remove them from the knitting needle. Later, this will be pulled tight to gather the stitches for the bottom of the foot.
Now divide the remaining 25 stitches that are on a holder on 3 dpns. Knit the other leg in the same manner.
You will be working one arm at a time.
Cast on 20 stitches.
Divide evenly on 3 needles, join in circle, and place marker (pm).
Knit for 30 rows.
DO NOT bind off. Cut thread leaving a long tail.
Thread the tail through a yarn needle. Slide the needle through each stitch as you remove them from the knitting needle. Later, this will be pulled tight to gather the stitches for the bottom of the hand.
Knit the other arm in the same manner.
Pull the yarn tails at the end of the feet and arms where you slipped the yarn needle through the stitches. By pulling the thread tightly, you will close in the holes at the end of the arms and legs. Tie off on the inside.
There will be a small opening at the crotch that will need to sewn closed. Do this from the inside.
Use matching yarn to sew a running stitch at the neck line going in and out of every stitch. Leave long ends and remove the contrasting yarn marker.
Stuff the doll beginning with the feet.
When you are satisfied with the amount of stuffing, thread the yarn tail at the head and sew a close running stitch around the head opening.
Pull the yarn tail at the top of the head closing the hole. By pulling it tightly, you will gather the top of the doll's head. The knit head should be mostly wrinkle free. If you have wrinkles around the top of the head, try adding a little more stuffing. When satisfied, tie it off. Note: There might be a "hole" in the top of the head. If so, simply sew the hole closed by making little stitches across the hole as if darning.
Stuff the arms but do not attach yet.
Pull the yarn that you sewed around the neck firmly to create a neck. When you are pleased with the shape of the head and neck, tie off the yarn, and work the thread ends into the doll so they are not visible.
Attach the arms at the side of the doll. The arms should be placed 1/2" - 3/4" below neck. NOTE: You may choose to wait until after you have embroidered a face and added hair so the arms do not get in your way.
If you like, you can add a belly button to the doll's stomach using a woven spider wheel stitch.
The completed "nakey" baby with hair and face.
This is amazing! Love it! Thanks for the instructions.
Love, love love it!!!! I have a couple of little girls here that absolutely need one of these. Better get my needles going. Thank you so very much for generously sharing your pattern.
This doll is amazing. I can't wait to see how you did the hair. My little girl has curly hair and I am sure that she would love a doll like this.
That is such a precious look of love on Pixie's face that it's just about to heart my heart with total sweetness. Adorable doll. Wish I could pull this off, but know I can't. For the love of God, Kimara, why don't you have an Etsy shop. I can't stand looking at all these things and not being able to buy them!!!
What a sweet smile on Pixie's face! She is just adorable! And I love the green hair on Princess Malena. How cute!
This pattern is SO adorable!
A local pastor just started an orphanage in Haiti (for true orphans) and I'd love to make these for them - if I can find the time... might have to recruit some help!
I was thinking about felting them down a little bit to make them even more durable - what do you think?
Can't wait to get started on one of these little darlings!
I absolutely love this doll pattern! I'm making it now, and it got so magical when I pulled on the string around his (it's going to be a boy) neck and created his head!
I'm embellishing mine to make him into a farmer. If you're interested I can send photos, or I'll blog about it on http://creatingafamilyhome.blogspot.com.
Kimara, we finally revealed Farmer Fred, based on this 12-inch doll pattern, at Nathan's first birthday party. You can read about the farmer details here:
I knitted him with size 6 needles instead of 7, since he doesn't wear clothing and I don't want to see the stuffing throught his brown self-overalls.
I looooooved knitting this doll, and can't wait to make more of them! I want to find a hospital program that accepts toys and gifts for sick children and make a bunch in all sizes. Thank you for the pattern!
Love it I'm makeing one for a little girl for christmas . It's going up so fast ! I cant wait until its done .
This pattern is the best .
I just completed the simple knitted doll and it turned out beautiful. Thank you for sharing this sweet little pattern. I would love to do more.
I made 2 of these dolls for Christmas presents! LOVE how they turned out. Poor things are waiting for clothes though.. I have a peasant top pattern ready to go!
Thanks for this pattern. I made one for my 18 month old for Christmas. It was so quick to knit! Here's a picture:
Dear Kimara
Thank you for sharing this wonderful pattern, your beautiful doll has a little friend in Holland now. I'm very proud of her, she doesn't have pants yet, but does she really needs them?
Thank you for being so generous and sharing your very clear, fun, doll pattern. I made one for my granddaughter and just love it. Now I'm making one for my granddaughter's best friend. Thank you so much. Barbara
I just knit this doll for my daughter in a blue and denim colored yarn ( her favorite yarn, I've made her sooooooo many things with this yarn!!). She's only had it finished for two days but she's already planning outfits for me to make her!!! Mind, she's only 4!
I've since made a smaller doll and am working on two other dolls! I do believe I'm addicted to these dolls!
just wanted to say thanks for your generosity in sharing this pattern. It is exactly what i have been looking for. I am making bedding for 2 doll beds for my nieces & this is the perfect doll to place in the beds.
I also use natural fibers because of their "living" qualities. I was wondering if you remember the wool you used to knit w/for the body...the texture & "give" look wonderful.
many thanks & I'll send you a picture when I am done :)
I just love this doll. Unfortunately I don't know to much about knitting and some of the "jargon" you are using goes right over my head. Do you know of any good websites that would teach me some of the basics? I guess I will have to study up and give it a try. :) I am so happy I found this. It can be very hard to find a multicultural doll and now I can make one for my daughter. :)
I was just wondering if I were to use circulars instead of DPN's, what size should I use?
Thanks a bunch :)
I am wondering if you have the directions (number of stitches and rows) for the smaller dolls available. Knit in the round?
Is there a pattern for the 12" knitted doll in round gown? Thank you. My grandbabes will love this.
Thank you so much for this pattern, it's perfect! I've been trawling the internet for days for something like this for dolls for the Children's Hospital. Thanks for sharing your incredible talents :)

The award ispart of the system's annual Georgia Occupational Award of Leadership (GOAL) program, which recognizes the top students from each of the state's 24 technical colleges and the technical division at Bainbridge State College, which is part of the University System of Georgia.
Marshall was congratulated by TCSG Commissioner Ron Jackson during a banquet for the system's best students and instructors at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Atlanta on April 24.
"Jade excelled in the classroom and is a great role model in her community. I commend her for being an outstanding student and earning the admiration of the entire Technical College System of Georgia. There are more than 150,000 students attending Georgia's technical colleges, so it's a remarkable accomplishment for Jade to be chosen as one of the nine finalists for the student of the year award," said Jackson.
"Jade is certainly one of our outstanding SWGTC students. Having been named one of the nine finalists for the GOAL Student of the Year statewide competition was a reconfirmation of what we knew here at Southwest GA Tech---that is, Jade is one of the most exceptional students in our Georgia technical college system. Jade is an excellent student in the classroom and has certainly demonstrated exemplary student leadership throughout her time here at SWGTC. She has accomplished much already in the classroom and in the work sector and I believe she will be even more successful in her future academic, career, and community endeavors. We congratulate Jade and are certainly proud of her and all of her achievements," commented Dr. Craig Wentworth, SWGTC President.
Selection for the GOAL program starts with the selection of the top student at each college. A regional competition follows, where nine students are chosen as finalists to compete for the state GOAL award and earn the honor as Georgia's technical college student of the year.
In April, the nine finalists are interviewed in Atlanta by a panel of judges from business, industry and higher education. At each step, the students are scored on their academic accomplishments, leadership qualities, involvement in their local communities, and future aspirations.
The winner of the TCSG Student of the Year award was Luke Teague, a student in the Funeral Service Education program at Ogeechee Technical College in Statesboro.
The competition for the award is intense because not only is that person named Georgia's student ambassador for technical education, the winner also gets the keys to a brand-new, fully-loaded Chevrolet, presented by Chevrolet and the local Chevrolet dealers, long-time sponsors of the GOAL program.
