With the economic culture of the 21st century revolving around sustainable designs, the old mantra of "when in doubt, make it stout" is becoming obsolete. Designs are now being subjected to a rigorous scrutiny by organizations and end users for performance, economic viability and in some cases, environmental impact.
Important design considerations of this era include key practical aspects such as:
Minimal Material user – Is it possible to change the steel gauge without impacting functionality? (Eg: wall of a container tank)
Improved Material Choices – With the rapid development of metallurgical processes and a huge selection of materials, is it possible to obtain a material that would make this part easier to produce, recycle, and transport, at a cheaper cost? (Eg: using recyclable HDPE instead of ABS)?
Design for ease of assembly/disassembly – Can the product be taken apart for partial replacement, or repair? (Eg: using tabs to connect components instead of a glue like Epoxy)?
Product Re-use or Recycling at the end of its life – Can the product be designed as modules for easy upgrade, or recycling? (Eg: blades of a lawnmower)
Minimal Energy impact – Can the design be supplied with an alternative source of power? Or can the power consumption be reduced? (Eg: Using manpower to provide electricity, or designing the base of a treadmill for smaller actuators)
Avoid Hazardous waste production – Is it possible to avoid environmentally dangerous waste from being the by-product of manufacturing?
But why are these choices gaining importance rapidly? The reason is that the demand for natural resources is rapidly growing more than what is available. This drives up costs, and also leads to stricter regulations in production.
Fortunately, making these adjustments to produce an optimized design can be done much easier than the previous century.
Some basic principles have to be satisfied through the product development cycle. It is fairly clear that designing a product is not a linear process, and there are many decisions and adjustments made as a design progresses from a hand sketch to the production floor. The biggest danger is making decisions without knowing if they are right.
So how do engineers get answers to their design decisions? The top answers are:
We looked at something that worked in the past. It is similar to what we are doing and so we scaled the design up/down. – This is a tried and tested way of doing things. Engineers rely heavily on past designs that have traveled over generations. However, it is not telling you how you can do it better; it only tells you how to continue to achieve what has already been achieved.
We use spreadsheets, mathematical equations, or hand calculations. Most engineers tend to feel comfortable with this approach and rely on them without skepticism. What do hand calculations really offer? Are the approximations made in the hand calculations really valid for your design? How much insight is obtained from a hand calculation? The majority of hand calculations usually give one data point, or maybe two, but no real insights.
We test prototypes. Is this where insight comes from? Do we gather all that we need to know from testing a prototype? Does the prototype give any indications of all possible choices in making a design better?
Historically, when engineers are evaluating their designs this late in the process companies have already invested time and money that cannot be recouped. Companies that use our simulation technology gain the vital information they need to make better design decisions.

Oh Hopes...oh hopes
how low...
when are they high
nobody knows...
I need something
something more..
I'm starving for companionship..
Someone to kiss goodnight and goodmorning lovely.
A girl with a dream
A girl on the side
Can someone find me
before deliberations come, with those old friends of mine.
I don't want to be sad
I choose happiness as my path
I don't need a one night stand
I need a hand to hold, a man.
Connection complete
with the simple gesture of eyes meeting
When everything about him screams..
I keep having these dreams
and I keep thinking..
why would you haunt me without knowing me directly.
Is it lust or fate?
Do I give chase to fulfill the longest of needs
Or do I shrink back and forget that he's the one who pursues,
and gives his strength into getting me
If it is in fact meant to be.
oh hopes
how high..
is prince charming coming?
or am I to be at my new low...
KISSndKILL 18-21, F 3 Responses 1 Jul 21, 2012
good things come to those who wait, better things come to those who seek. meet new people, put yourself out there (in a reasonable matter :L).
One day you'll find the one you are looking for. It will be when you least expect it and from the most unexpected corner. Love has a tendency to creep up on you and give you a good goose.
I understand the male equivalent of what you're looking for and so it is with that in mind that I offer a vibe of fingers crossed for the day we find our respective companions

Sandy Springs Police Department - would like to remind everyone to beware of SCAMS and what to do if you get one.
A common scam that attempts to get people to send emails which in turn allows the person access to your computer through what's commonly referred to as phishing. Clark Howard has a lot of information on his website regarding these scams. If you go to his website (www.clarkhoward.com), just type in "phishing" under search. There is nothing illegal regarding sending an anonymous letter to your address asking you to email a particular person / persons. Although sending the person an email would probably move the situation towards fraud. However, you can file a complaint with the United States Postal Service since this is very suspicious and falls under their jurisdiction. Anything coming through the mail would fall under their jurisdiction. The following excerpt came from the USPS website; "Although the Postal Inspection Service cannot resolve routine business disputes between companies and their customers, it can act against a company or individual if there is a pattern of activity suggesting a potential scheme to defraud. Completion of this form is voluntary, but the more information that you enter, the better the Postal Inspection Service may be able to help." The link to the Postal Service website is listed below:

(ABC 6 News) -- It's been a little over a year since their grand opening and now we've learned the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living store at the Mall of America will close by the end of the month.
Mayo Clinic made that announcement Friday. They tell ABC 6 News the clinic will not take part in the Mall of America's expansion plan for 2013, so they are closing.
In August 2011, ABC 6 News got a sneak peak of the store before the grand opening.
The store offers interactive learning about health and wellness, and resources for patients. We spoke with David Hayes, the medical director of the project right before it opened .
"We will be continuously changing this space, we'll be changing exhibits adding more information, it's about getting more information so we can find out what people want in a retail space," says Hayes.
Mayo Clinic says although they will be closing, they will look at their long term presence at the mall because they want to continue to serve the needs of patients in the Twin Cities.

Doyle follows uncle's footballing path
A thirst for pounding the ball in the back of the net is an inherent trait in the Doyle clan. Darren Doyle thinks he has a knack for scoring — just like his uncle, David, did.
Both are attackers at heart. David Doyle, standing 5-foot-11, won't be confused with anything but a striker. Darren, measuring in at about an inch shorter, fancies himself more of a midfield maestro. He liked to get his teammates involved in his three seasons at Kerr-Vance, regardless of his position on the pitch.
"If someone tells me to play somewhere, I'm going to play," said Darren, a Louisburg College recruit. "If it helps the team, I'll do my best to try to win. I don't like losing. I don't think anybody likes losing."
Darren has a little Arjen Robben in his game. He relies heavily on his left foot, not unlike the Dutch winger who scored and assisted in Bayern Munich's recent win over Borussia Dortmund in the European Champions League final.
Darren reckons he might have an edge on his uncle.
"I might be a little bit better," Darren tauntingly suggests.
"I can kick with both feet," David retorts. "Unlike him."
Darren knew that was coming.
The differences in their style of play are clear. The contrast in the eras in which they played American high school soccer is unmistakable. But their journeys are remarkably similar. Two teenagers faced with a difficult decision: stay in their native Ireland — or take a chance and move to the U.S. — move to rural Henderson to pursue an education while playing the game they adore.
Both took the risk.
Shipping out to Henderson
David moved to the U.S., in part, to get an education. Shortly upon his arrival, he was teaching his Vance Academy teammates about soccer.
He arrived in Henderson in 1981 when soccer was somewhat of an afterthought around the country.
The North American Soccer League had enjoyed success in some U.S. markets. The New York Cosmos attracted huge crowds at Giants Stadium as well as on the road, boasting the world's greatest player, Pele, along with the likes of his Brazilian compatriot Carlos Alberto, Italian striker Giorgio Chinaglia and West German star Franz Beckenbauer.
But the league ultimately folded in 1984 and the U.S. Men's National Team hadn't qualified for a World Cup since 1950.
David didn't speak with his teammates about the soccer world much. The conversation probably wouldn't have lasted long. His only outlet to news from the game was through dated newspapers sent from home or PBS's "Soccer Made in Germany" highlight show hosted by British commentator Toby Charles.
He had devoted his life to playing the world's game. In Ireland, football was and ever will be king. His Spartan teammates were mostly two or three-sport athletes.
"I was miles ahead of the kids I was playing with because that's all I did was play football," said David. "They were playing basketball and baseball. Obviously the game was much more developed back at home than it was here."
David grew up in Artane, a Northside suburb of Dublin, and was recruited to Vance Academy by a teacher in Ireland that played for Spartan soccer coach Charlie Smith in Virginia.
To say the lifestyle in Henderson was different would be an understatement, according to Doyle. He quickly grew tired of having to repeat himself, his Irish brogue confounding the Americans.
"But the lads that I ended up playing with and going to school with were very good and accepted me and made it very easy to fit in and stay," said David. "That's one of the reasons why I ended up staying as long as I did."
Next level
David received "tons" of letters from colleges eager to sign him on. He was recruited by legendary North Carolina women's coach Anson Dorrance, who also coached the men at that time.
The Tar Heels offered everything but board. So Doyle chose Campbell. He had an offer to play professionally in England's third division, but decided to go back to school and completed a hall of fame career, leading the country in scoring his senior season.
Major League Soccer was still about a decade away from holding its first match when Doyle finished his Campbell playing days. With limited American outdoor options, Doyle was selected third overall by the Kansas City Comets in the 1987 Major Indoor Soccer League Draft.
David was named the 1987-1988 MISL Rookie of the Year before beginning an illustrious career with the Dallas Sidekicks in 1991. There, he was a six-time all-star, winning a pair of league scoring titles.
The Sidekicks retired David's jersey last year, the same No. 11 that Darren donned at KVA.
David went on to coach with the Dallas Texans, an elite youth club that has produced more than 20 professional soccer players including Tottenham's Clint Dempsey and David's son, Conor, currently under contract with second-tier English Championship side Derby County.
David, 47, is currently the head coach at Flower Mound High School near Dallas and coaches youth teams with Liverpool FC America.
A few years ago, he got a call from an old Vance Academy teammate, William Dickerson. Dickerson wanted to know if David knew of any foreigners that might be interested in playing soccer at KVA.
David did.
Remade in Ireland
Darren's father, Paul, remembers what it was like when his brother left home. It was big news that one of the young lads was headed to America for school and football.
"He was pretty well-known in the area from playing with the local sides in the area anyway," said Paul, 53. "So a lot of people had interest in what was going to happen to him."
David didn't want to be 47 in Dublin and wondering what would have happened had he gone to America when he was 15.
"If I went and didn't like it, at least I'd have no regrets," David said.
Darren made up his mind that he wasn't leaving the Dublin suburb of Swords, but had a change of heart after speaking with his uncle. He didn't want any "what ifs" haunting him either.
Darren came to KVA as a sophomore and graduated on Saturday, exactly 30 years to the day after David did.
"I think it was hard for us to let him go," said Paul, who played in the junior leagues, just below Ireland's top flight, "but I think it was a lot easier for us than our mom and dad because we knew where Darren was going."
David lived in the Henderson Country Club neighborhood during his Vance County stay and Darren has followed suit, living in the same area in west Henderson.
No regrets
Some things have changed though. Darren doesn't have to write letters home; he can Skype and his parents were looking at prom pictures within hours of the event.
Darren isn't so hard to understand anymore. Listen to him speak and he might be mistaken for a Vance County native.
The soccer culture has changed too. Major League Soccer has sustained moderate success and continues to grow while the U.S. has appeared in every World Cup since 1990.
Soccer news is one click away for Darren. He can talk about the sport with his American friends. They know who Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar are.
"I didn't think it was really that popular because they have five or six other sports that they're more interested in," said Darren. "I didn't think it was as popular as it was going to be."
Darren finished the 2012 soccer season with 22 goals and 26 assists, guiding the Spartans to a 22-win season that ended in the N.C. Independent School Athletic Association 2-A semifinals.
KVA had a perfect league record and Darren was the conference's player of the year, forming a dynamic duo at the top the Spartan attack with none other than William Dickerson's son, Brandon, the team's leader in goals scored.
"Darren has an unusual passion for the game," said KVA head coach Tommy Farmer. "He lives it all the time. He wants to get a soccer ball and go to the field all the time. If he can't find anyone else, he'll kick it around by himself."
"He reads the game so well," added Farmer. "He anticipates either how his teammates are going to play the ball or how his opponents will play the ball."
David believes that vision separated himself and separates Darren from their American peers.
Darren joins a Louisburg program that appeared in the National Junior College Athletic Association final last season.
Darren aspires to play professionally like his uncle, but is just as interested in having an education to fall back on.
At least he has opportunity, Darren's father says. Had Darren not taken David's advice, he might still be in Dublin wondering "what if?"
"If footballing doesn't work out, you get an education," said Paul. "And God knows what can happen."

'Bewildering' award for DJ in prank linked to the death of Bristol nurse
Posted: June 06, 2013|
ONE of the Australian DJs behind a prank call linked to the death of a Bristol nurse has received an award.
The "Next Top Jock" award given to Michael Christian has been criticised by an Australian minister who says it is in "bad taste".
Last year Mr Christian and co-host Mel Greig made a prank call to the London hospital where the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge was being treated for morning sickness.
The nurse who answered the phone, Jacintha Saldanha, 46, from Southmead, believed the callers were the Queen and Prince Charles and was found hanged three days after the incident.
Related content
Australian communications minister Stephen Conroy told local media he disagreed with the award.
Mr Conroy said: "There were some very serious consequences of what was a prank.
"And to be seen to be awarding people so soon after such an event I think is just in bad taste."
Australian author and former 2Day FM presenter Wendy Harmer claimed that industry insiders are "bewildered and embarrassed" by the decision.
Writing in The Guardian she said: "What a slap in the face for Saldanha's family. What an appalling message to send to staff.
"Did they mean to say 'Get your face out there. Do anything. Whatever it takes.'? That is how this is being read. And to say it is not a good look is a wild understatement."
Ms Greig remains off air in the wake of the incident – but Mr Christian returned to work in February, two months after the tragedy.
He now works in Melbourne, for the sister station of Sydney-based 2Day FM – his employer at the time of the prank. Both stations are owned by Southern Cross Austereo.
Mr Christian said that winning the network's internal award – which selects from Southern Cross stations across the country and comes with a trip to Los Angeles – felt good.
He said: "From the start I felt like I had something to prove to myself, that regardless of all that has happened in the past few months I am still at the top of my game."
Both he and Ms Greig have apologised publicly for the prank.
Two months ago it emerged that in one of the three letters she left, Mrs Saldanha accused the two Australian DJs of driving her to her death.
She even said they should pay the mortgage for the Bristol home where her accountant husband Benedict Barboza, 49, and children Junal, 17, and Lisha, 14, still live.
An inquest into Mrs Saldanha's death has yet to be held.

I have been eating here for several years now. Their Breakfast is amazing. Eggs, bacon , Pancakes. Simply the best anywhere in the world. Chester their Chef should be on TV. He is a food artist behind the counter. Handling so many orders and never messing up. Their Baked Porkchops and Chicken cultets for dinner are the best in New York City.

This is truly one of the last great places to eat in Manhattan. The food is fresh, home made, and delicious. The value is excellent. The folks there are down to earth and it is "all about the food". The sides of either rice, beets, potatoes with gravy are terrific. Even though you have to sit on stools at the counter, the experience is worth it and take out is also an option. If you are one of those types of people who have been spending $100 or more for a dinner for two, you need to try this place. We had dinner that cost us about $25.00 for two people and that included several soft drinks. Enjoy food cooked by nice people who serve up a fare that crosses the European ethnic boundaries and will be appreciated by everyone. You will not leave hungrey or disappointed. The daily specials are particularly tasty. Even the worst food/restaurant snob will find this unpretentious "hole in the wall" a welcome addition to their eating out venue. Quite frankly, the restaurant should become an official landmark of NYC for keeping it as real as it gets. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner will be appreciated. The chicken a la King or Beef stroganoff served over a bed of rice with any choice of great sides should not be missed. And there are so many other great dishes to satisfy everyone's preferences.

I grew up in Jersey, practially living off diner food. This the best value and best diner-food I've ever had. 2nd place is not close. The highly regarded and vastly overrated Veselka's (poor service) is only a few doors down, but The Stage upstages it in every facet except legroom. The service appreciates your business, but it's the food that has made me a regular. When you eat at this cramped little place (or takeout), within one bite you'll know there's some 65 year-old Polish grandma in the back laboring over a hot stove instead of a sweaty grunt-worker featured in most restaurants. At dinner order the combo and get a taste of everything that is Polish diner dining.

This place is all around fantastic. The food is absolutely delicious, as i have never had a bad meal here. The Potato Pierogis with choice of sour cream, apple sauce, or sweet onions is my favorite. The men and women behind the counter are quite friendly and add to the awesome atmosphere, an atmosphere that at makes this joint one of the best places to eat in NYC.

Human Resources | News
Denver Public Schools (DPS) has implemented a system designed specifically to streamline the human resources process for hiring and evaluating the district's K-12 teachers.
Part of the district's 2010 Denver Plan to find and retain the most qualified teachers, the district adopted Infor's Talent Management, a software suite that lets administrators evaluate teachers and align compensation with qualifications. Working with information technology consulting company Ciber, the new software augments the district's existing Human Capital Management suite from Infor by joining software and content to create a unified platform.
The applications include modules covering human resource functions, performance, and goals tracking. The global human resource module is designed to manage global workforces and simplify the human resources process. The performance management module tool tracks and assesses employee performance to aid development and retention of top employees, and the goal management component is deigned to help align employee goals with business objectives.
Key features include:
"The new Infor software dramatically modernizes our back-end systems and sets the stage for the district to achieve its long-term goal of hiring great people to deliver great results," said Shayne Spalten, DPS chief HR officer, in a prepared statement. "Ciber has worked with us to understand the unique requirements of K-12 school operating environments and helped design a system to truly meet our needs."
Denver Public Schools (DPS) is the second largest school district in Colorado. The district serves more than 84,000 students in 200 schools, including 76 elementary, 16 K-8, 12 middle, 18 high, 31 charter, and eight alternative schools. The district's operating budget is approximately $5.2 million. For more information, visit dpsk12.org.

Mevagissey Football Club is in mourning for Tony Woodforth
Posted: March 23, 2014|
TRIBUTES have been paid to a much-respected club secretary of Mevagissey Football Club who "rang the bell for change on and off the pitch".
Colleagues and friends of Tony Woodforth, 66, said they were devastated to hear the champion of the club had died after suffering a heart attack on Friday, March 7.
Mr Woodforth played and refereed for Basingstoke before relocating to the fishing port eight years ago.
He brought with him a "wealth of experience" to Mevagissey Football Club.
Floral tributes have been laid at the ground in honour of the greatly respected former footballer known as "our man of the match".
And on Saturday a minute's silence was held when the team played at home to Edgcumbe.
Jon Hearn, chairman of Mevagissey FC, said: "He has been instrumental in leading the club's development since then.
"Tony rang the bell for change on and off the pitch."
His dedication drove the club's progress from being just a single team to having three sides in the East Cornwall Premier, JJ Jones Builders Duchy and East Cornwall Youth league.
Until Mr Woodforth's arrival the club had been without a youth league for approximately 30 years, following the demise of Meva Minors FC.
Mr Hearn added: "Tony was a tireless volunteer who refereed, ran the line, pulled pints, fundraised and mentored at the club to develop sport in the community.
"His succinct commentary on performances were legendary, but were wilfully received which is indicative of the respect in which Tony was held at the club."
The Division Four match between Mevagissey and Pelynt reserves on March 8 was called off out of respect after learning of the death of Mr Woodford. Everyone who met Mr Woodforth greatly respected his commitment to the game, added Mr Hearn.
Mr Woodforth leaves his wife Lorraine and son Ashley. He was also stepfather to Emma and Mark.

This week is another healthy addition in the grocery item of the week excitement. We have been buying these bags of goodness for a while now and I must say they actually taste good and are simple to prepare. Great for a quick vegetable as a side dish or adding into a casserole at the last minute.
The name says it all. Healthful, delicious vegetables steamed to perfection in just minutes – in your microwave. From freezer to table, quickly and effortlessly. No water, no chopping, no draining, no clean-up. It's that easy.
The secret is in the bag. The innovative Omstead Steam Ease™ pouch works like a miniature pressure cooker. During cooking in the microwave, steam pressure builds up and the pouch inflates. Thanks to micro-pore technology, the pouch slowly releases steam while cooking, bringing out all of the colour, texture and taste of perfectly steamed vegetables every time.
You can't get closer to fresh. Simply put, Omstead Steam Ease™ vegetables taste great – like steamed fresh vegetables. No matter what season it is, you can be enjoying the taste of your favourite steamed vegetables in minutes.
Health-Check program. Omstead Steam Ease™ products are the first frozen steamed vegetables in Canada to participate in the Heart and Stroke Foundation's Health Check program.
After a little more research with Omstead, it looks like this product may only be available in Canada. I am assuming that it may soon be in the US or maybe it is already. If not – I can only assume there are similar products like this…

You'll find, however, that our current size 3 is a bit too thick (think fat.) With that being said, we are revising our current size 3 (which was made ages ago before the dawn of the ultra thin laptop) to be a much thinner case which will be better suited for your T60. This case is in production right now and Tom excepts will be shipping out within the next two or three weeks. So if you are willing to wait, that would be the way to go.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have questions or anything.

Most of the Thinkpads (even the larger ones) are so thin and I think that our larger cases are just a bit on the thick side for most of them.
Something to note, when looking at the size 4, especially in regards to the specific scenario you mentioned in your post, you can adjust the velcro at the bottom of these, slightly, which might be just enough to give you that .1" you are looking for. If you put your hand down inside the end of the Brain Cell and tuck your finger under the padded sling you can grab it and pull it up like turning the Brain Cell inside out. You can then undo that velcro like closure; it has a certain level of adjustability in there that won't take away from the protective capabilities of your bag if you mess with it a bit.
(In case you didn't already know you could do that... hopefully this isn't redundant information for you.)
I looked it up in the fit finder, and ordered a size 3s horizontal brain cell for my X61 Tablet with extended battery.
Height and thickness make for a good fit, but it's 2-3 inches too wide, and the computer slides back and forth. It doesn't make a difference if I insert it sideways, since it's pretty much square.
Is there a better fitting bag?
Hi! We just came out with a new size - the 6T and it would fit the X61 much better! It's 12.4 by 10.5 by 1.3 inches, so it will still be just a little bit too large in the width, but not too much, and should fit even better in the other two dimensions. You should be able to call customer service and let Darcy or Josh know and they should be able to help facilitate an exchange!
Oh yeah... here's the number for customer service! That might help :)
On behalf of ThinkPad owners everywhere, thanks for the new size 6T Brain Cell. This is a better fit for my 14.1" T60p ThinkPad than the Size 4 Brain Cell that I'm currently using. I only wish this had been available before your cutback on available colors for new Brain Cells. (I've ended up buying a Brain Cell and Buzz for a MacBook Pro long in advance of the actual laptop purchase. The Bihn bags are harder to get than the laptops!)
P.S. I'm not sure which size Brain Cell would work for the new Z series (wide-screen) Thinkpads. (Sample dimension for a Z61t: 9"x1.2"x13.1" from information on the web -- I don't have one of these).

You can buy sulfuric acid at an auto supply shop. They keep it behind the counter. It is used to top off lead-acid batteries. Just figure out the concentration and dilute down.
BTW, I wouldn't concern yourself with the DEA form. Do you know how many people fill those out every day? You are a grain of salt in the ocean.

The Grad Blast 2013 committee meets every other Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at Jitters in Eagle River. The purpose of the meetings is to plan the annual high school after-graduation event. For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com
The Chugiak-Eagle River Grad Blast has been organized by the parents in our community for over twenty years. The Grad Blast provides our graduates with a safe night of activities and events to celebrate their accomplishments. This event has the students transported to the grad blast area only by bus, and they are not allowed to re-enter after they leave. Activities that the Grad Blast provides are Tons of Fun bungee run, sumo wrestling, bucking salmon, prizes, bonfire, gaming, music, food, etc.
To provide this event we need some help from all of us here in Chugiak and Eagle River community. Parents do not need to have a student graduating in order to participate. Actually helping before your kids graduate, lets you get familiar with the event and shows them know that graduation from high school is important.
Your involvement can help make it possible – Contact us at the email listed below, so we can keep you informed of meeting, answer any questions you may have and get you to help with decisions regarding the 2013 Grad Blast. firstname.lastname@example.com

No. 12 Virginia 6, Clemson 5 (11 innings)
CLEMSON — Pinch-hitter Mike Papi hit a two-out, run-scoring single in the ninth inning to tie the score, then hit a solo homer in the 11th inning to lead No. 12 Virginia to a 6-5 win over Clemson in 11 innings on Friday night.
The Cavaliers, who took a 1-0 lead in the series, improved to 16-1 and 3-1 in the ACC. The Tigers fell to 10-6 overall and 2-2 in ACC play.
The Tigers built a 5-1 lead in the fifth inning, but Virginia scored one run in the seventh inning before plating three runs in the ninth inning to tie the score. Clemson escaped Virginia's one-out, bases loaded jam in the 10th inning without giving up a run, but Papi delivered for the Cavaliers in the 11th inning to give them the one-run victory.
Kyle Crockett (2-0), the last of five Cavalier pitchers, earned the win by pitching 2.2 scoreless innings of one-hit ball with four strikeouts against no walks.
Mike Kent (0-1), the last of seven Tiger hurlers, suffered the loss. He only allowed one of the six batters he faced to reach base, but it was Papi's game-winning home run. Starter Daniel Gossett pitched 7.0 strong innings, allowing five hits, two runs, and no walks with six strikeouts. Clemson gave up six earned runs, ending the Tigers' 13-game streak of allowing three earned runs or less.
Shane Kennedy gave Clemson a 2-0 lead in the second inning when he belted a two-run homer to left field, his second long ball of the season. Garrett Boulware, who reached on an error, also scored on the home run.
Derek Fisher led off the top of the fourth inning with a double down the left-field line and advanced to third on Brandon Downes' groundout to second. Joe McCarthy then lofted a sacrifice fly to left to score Fisher.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, Steve Wilkerson led off with a double to left field and advanced to third on Boulware's single to right field. Steven Duggar flared a single to left-center to score Wilkerson, then Kennedy plated Boulware with a sacrifice fly to right.
In the fifth inning, Thomas Brittle drew a one-out walk and Jay Baum reached on an infield single on a 1-2 pitch. Wilkerson followed with a single through the left side to score Brittle.
Kenny Towns hit a one-out triple to left field in the seventh inning and scored on Nick Howard's single to left field.
Downes led off the ninth inning with a double off the wall down the left-field line on a 1-2 pitch and McCarthy blooped a single to left field. Towns struck out as McCarthy stole second, then Howard grounded out to short to score Downes. Reed Gragnani hit a two-out double off the top of the wall in right field to plate McCarthy, then Papi came off the bench and grounded a single up the middle to plate Gragnani and tie the score 5-5.
Jared King led off the 10th inning with a single up the middle and advanced to second on Fisher's sacrifice bunt. After Downes walked on nine pitches, McCarthy walked on seven pitches to load the bases. But after Kent entered the game on the mound, he struck out Towns and got Howard to fly out to deep right field to end the inning.
Papi gave Virginia a 6-5 lead in the top of the 11th inning when he crushed a solo homer to right field, his second long ball of the season.
In the bottom of the 11th inning, Jon McGibbon grounded a one-out single up the middle. However, Tyler Krieger grounded into a game-ending 4-6-3 double play.
Branden Cogswell, Towns, and Papi had two hits apiece to pace Virginia, who totaled 12 hits in the contest.
Wilkerson and McGibbon had two hits apiece to lead the Tigers, who amassed 10 hits in the game. Kennedy had a game-high three RBIs as well.
Clemson and Virginia will play Game 2 of the three-game series on Saturday at 6:30 p.m.

March 11, 2013
BEAUMONT, Texas – Lamar University senior guard Kalis Loyd was named a first-team All-Southland Conference player for the third consecutive season, the conference announced Monday.
Loyd, Lamar's all-time leading scorer with 1,930 points, leads Lamar in scoring (17.8 points per game) and rebounding (7.4 per game). She has nine double-doubles this season and 27 for her career, helping the Lady Cardinals to a 20-9 overall record and 12-6 Southland Conference mark. Lamar is the No. 3 seed for this week's Southland Conference Tournament in Katy, Texas.
Loyd is the only player on Lamar's top-10 career lists for points, rebounds, assists and steals.
"It's a great honor for Kalis to be first-team all-conference for three years in a row," Lamar coach Larry Tidwell said. "She has meant so much to this program."
Loyd was also named to the conference's all-defensive team along with senior teammate Carenn Baylor. The Lady Cardinals were the only team to have two players named to the all-defensive unit.
Nine conference teams placed at least one member on the all-conference teams with Sam Houston State, Oral Roberts, Nicholls State, McNeese State, Central Arkansas and Southeastern Louisiana each with two selections. Lamar, Stephen F. Austin and Northwestern State had one all-league honoree.
Lamar junior guard Gia Ayers earned honorable mention all-conference honors.
"I'm disappointed that as the No. 3 seed we didn't have more than one player on the all-conference team," Tidwell said. "I think we had some deserving players."
Megan Herbert of Central Arkansas was named the conference's Player of the Year for the third consecutive season. Brenda Welch-Nichols of Sam Houston State was named Coach of the Year.
A Lamar win on Thursday would put them into the semifinals against No. 2 seed Sam Houston State at 1:30 p.m. Friday. The championship game is set for 1 p.m., Saturday.
All of the tournament games will be played at the Leonard E. Merrell Center in Katy.
All of Lamar's postseason games will air live on KLVI (AM 560). Thursday's game will be shown on www.Southland.org. The semifinals and finals will be available on ESPN3.
Tickets for all eight tournament sessions (men and women) are available for $60 at the Montagne Center ticket office, or by calling (409) 880-1715. Individual session tickets are available through Ticketmaster or the Merrell Center box office starting at 10 a.m. Tuesday.

You look rad! And I can see you wearing this all the time in school.. I'm sure. But back then I would be too closed minded. I'm glad I'm not like that anymore. :)
Aww thanks. I'm glad you're not closed minded anymore either. :)
Thank you so much for your sweet comments.

"West End Motel is a conglomerate of
losers and poets and hobo-sexuals. Tom Cheshire met Brent Hinds in Atlanta on a
corner under a bridge in 1993. They were panhandling and drinking cough syrup
and songs just started spewing out of them. Songs were written on an acoustic
guitar and a bucket for drums with the occasional toy piano in the background.
Much booze was consumed and late nights turned in to early mornings. They write
and sing for the underdog and give the listener a glimmer of hope. Originally
the band wanted to sound like Simon and Garfunkel hanging out with Ethel Merman
but the end result sounds more like Nick Cave fronting Gogol Bordello. The
songs have taken on a life of their own and have never sounded the same twice.
The music is honest, like a Filipino kid tap dancing in the wind. These men
love music, it is that simple and they write for people who love music. They
write songs of loss and laughter and maybe even a new lease on life. They are a
gospel band, they are a soul band, they are a band of gypsies. Do yourself a
favor and check this now."- West End Motel
You must Login to post comments.
Outside of his adopted hometown of Atlanta, Brent Hinds is best known as one half of Mastodon's twin-guitar attack. Of course, a scene lifer like Hinds can't be contented with just one musical mistress, and Hinds spends his time away from his name-making metal act playing with a number of ATL bands, including West End Motel. more at avclub.com

Socialist Alliance Victoria
Stop robbing our hospitals
Socialist Alliance statement - Strong action needed to stop hospital cuts
Labor and Coalition governments are both to blame
Hospital administrators and staff are reeling. The Ted Baillieu state government axed $616 million from its last two health budgets and the Julia Gillard federal government has recently cut $107 million from Victorian hospitals.
While both governments blame each other, more than 300 beds have been closed, elective surgery delayed and hundreds of health workers are losing their jobs. It follows that the quality of care delivered to all Victorians is much poorer. Rural communities have been hit particularly hard, forcing many patients to travel long distances for emergency care.
While each Victorian hospital is in crisis trying to work out what wards and theatres to close in order to keep the whole hospital operating, the Baillieu Coalition government is handing $9 million to private hospitals to operate on public patients.
Is Australia imitating Greece?
Greece and Spain are responding to the economic crisis by making huge cuts to the social wage. Medicare, free education, superannuation, child care, family payments and maternity allowances are being slashed with government funds being diverted to help big business through the economic crisis.
In Australia, state and federal governments are also cutting the social wage, before the economic crisis has even reached our shores. Meanwhile, government handouts to big corporations continue untouched.
Campaign to restore funding
We in the trade union movement and in community groups must act now to protect our public hospitals and schools. The cuts to hospitals will affect every single Victorian and every single union member.
We need a determined and forceful response to reverse these cuts and demand instead that both governments increase funding to public hospitals. The community rally called by the health unions is an excellent start. This should be part of an ongoing and broad campaign. To be effective in restoring the hospital funding, the campaign needs to be led by the
entire union movement and broadened out to include community groups.
In the 1970s a national strike stopped Malcolm Fraser's federal government from dismantling Medibank. Victorian statewide, cross-union protests and community rallies are required again to reverse these cuts. Stalls and leafleting at shopping centres, door-knocking and public meetings are also needed.
Put the following motion to your union or community group:
A. The [Name of Union or Community Group] calls on the Victorian Trades Hall Council (VTHC) to plan state-wide coordinated actions, including stop works, rallies, mass leafleting and door knocking campaigns demanding that both the Federal Labor and State Liberal governments reverse the cuts to and increase funding to public hospitals.
B. The [Name of Union or Community Group] will plan its own activities to educate the public about the cuts to Victorian
public hospitals and calls on both the Federal Labour and State Liberal governments to reverse the cuts and increase funding to public hospitals.

Bethlehem, Pa., April 13, 2011--For the second year, the Moravian College Football Team has partnered with the Be A Match Foundation (Bone Marrow) to participate in the Get In the Game, Save A Life Program. Members of the team will hold a registration drive at the College in Johnston Hall on Wednesday April 20, from 3:30 to 7:00 p.m.
"The goal of this partnership is to hold a drive and give everyone a chance to join the Be A Match Registry," said Jeff Pukszyn, assistant head football coach. "Registering takes about 10 minutes. Participants complete a simple medical history form followed by a painless cotton swabbing of the cheek. We need people from every background so that more patients have a chance for a cure."
The goal for the football team is for each player to sign up at least 10 people with the potential of being able to join the registry. "Last year, we were able to add 457 people to the registry," Pukszyn noted. "This was the fourth highest total out of the 30 programs in the country participating in the drive. Most of the other schools being much bigger than Moravian. We have set the bar high and would like to top the number from last year at least getting to the 500 mark."
Anyone between the ages of 18 and 60 could potentially register and have the chance to save a life. A YouTube video provides brief explanation of the National Bone Marrow Donor Program Registry. Be a Match Foundation YouTube Video.
The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) and the Be The Match Foundation are nonprofit organizations dedicated to creating an opportunity for all patients to receive the bone marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant. According to the NMDP: Every year, thousands of people of all ages are diagnosed with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases. Many of them will die unless they get a bone marrow or cord blood transplant from a matching donor. Seventy percent of people do not have a donor in their family and depend on the Be The Match Registry® to find a match to save their life.

Moravian College is a private, coeducational, selective liberal arts college located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Tracing its founding to 1742, it is recognized as America's sixth-oldest college. Moravian partners with students to build a strong foundation for their future. Visit the College's Web site at www.moravian.edu.

Planning a hallway
Hallway design tips
Hang a mirror in your hallway to reflect light and create depth.
- Keep your hallway clutter-free at all times.
- Choose slimline furniture and keep it to a minimum.
- Allow light to flow wherever possible: dingy just won't do.
Colour your hall
A dark hallway says all the wrong things about your home. Use colour to make the entrance as light and appealing as possible. The general advice is to steer clear of dark and bold colours however, as with all the best rules, there are exceptions! If your house is a large listed building or a grand period home, a deep traditional red or green will enhance the pedigree of the building and add enormous impact.
If your hallway is narrow or small, neutrals invariably work best. Don't be tempted to use a dark colour beneath a dado rail as it will make the walls look shorter and the space feel claustrophobic.
If you have painted floorboards in your hallway, give the impression of greater floor surface by painting the skirtings the same colour as the floor. Be warned however, that floorboards painted a light colour can be particularly high-maintenance.
Wall treatments
Flocked wallpaper, once the style crime of the Eighties, has undergone a radical rethink and emerged hipper than ever. If you have a dado rail, do as the Victorians did and line beneath with embossed wallpaper leaving above painted or plain-papered.
Polished plaster finishes give walls real warmth and depth. Limestone, marble flour, waxes, sand and grains can all be used to give walls character, texture and lustre.
If your hallway is likely to take a hammering from heavy footfall, choose paints that are both washable and durable so you can scrub away the marks without scrubbing away the paint.
Alternatively, if you're channeling a fresh New England look in your home consider tongue and groove cladding. It's an excellent choice for hallways - hardwearing and good-looking.
Style statements
Floor space is invariably at a premium, but your walls are the perfect place to make a statement with a mirror, photographs, art or hangings. A strategically positioned mirror can make a narrow hallway look bigger and reflect light, a view or a painting. A hallway mirror also allows people to check their reflection as they walk in or out of the house.
Estate agents warn that a rogue's gallery of family photos can alienate buyers. Though while a question mark may hover over a triptych of Daisy the dog, a grouping of framed black and white photographs can look very chic indeed. More inspirational artworks can give your hallway a cool gallery feel. When hanging art in a hallway consider lighting it to its best effect. A simple spot can be used to highlight a particular feature in a painting or go for general illumination with an overhead picture light.
There on the stairs
The staircase is usually a feature of most hallways so it needs to be visually appealing. Runners with rods can give a distinctive look that's particularly well suited to period homes. Roger Oates has an excellent selection of traditional and contemporary stair runners. You can also create some excellent effects by painting stairs.
Let in the light
If your hall has a low ceiling, uplighters will give the impression of greater height. If you have lofty, high ceilings they're perfect for displaying feature lighting. Suspend globes of light from the stairwell (Jasper Morrison has designs that are perfect for this) or go for a luxe look with a beautiful chandelier.
Maximise natural light wherever possible. If your hallway is dark, a solid wood front door won't do you any favours. Could a glazier install glass panels to allow the light to flow? Alternatively, glazed interior doors will allow the light to bounce into your hallway. Paint a dark staircase white or embrace a radical alternative with a funky glass installation.
Only store the absolute essentials in your hallway. Anything other than the bare minimum will get in the way of the morning scramble for bags, shoes and coats. A narrow console table is a good choice (one with a curved front edge will avoid those bruised hips!) but it can easily become a depository for drinks, newspapers and the morning's post, so beware of clutter!

Studies of multitrophic interactions show that insect faeces may act as a defensive device against predators, as kairomone source for attraction of antagonists and as a significant energy source for micro-organisms. In the present study, we investigated effects of larval faeces from leaf beetles of the subfamiliy Cassidinae towards a generalist predator, the ant Myrmica rubra. Most cassidine larvae collect their faeces together with exuviae as so-called abdominal defensive shields on two movable spines at the posterior tip. The effects of these abdominal shields towards M. rubra were studied in three cassidine species, which feed mono- or oligophagously upon tansy (Chrysanthemum vulgare): Cassida denticollis and C. sanguinosa which possess such faecal shields and, for comparison, C. stigmatica with shields made of exuviae only (=skin shield). Bioassays revealed that larvae with both faecal and skin shields were attacked by the ant M. rubra more often than larvae whose shields had been removed. This attractiveness of shields towards ants contrasts with other studies, which found that abdominal shields of chrysomelid larvae act as defensive mechanisms against generalist predators like ants. To characterize the attractive cues of the shields, we studied possible chemical and physical stimuli. Olfactometer bioassays with M. rubra and chemical analyses revealed that plant-derived volatiles from faecal shields of C. denticollis attracted the ant, whereas odour from skin shields of C. stigmatica did not. Skin shields also emitted volatiles which derived from tansy, but in much lower quantities. Exclusion of contact to surface chemicals of a faecal shield reduced the ants' aggressive behaviour, whereas a change in the moisture content of a faecal shield had no influence. Visual stimuli cannot be ruled out as enhancing the ants' reaction towards faecal shields with their attractive volatiles, and are suggested to play a major role in the ants' response towards skin shields. This novel attractive effect of the abdominal shields of cassidine larvae is discussed, especially with respect to host plant chemistry and possible functions of the shields that might outweigh the negative consequences of the attraction of the predator M. rubra.

Traffic rules are made to be followed by all
Every year, the Metropolitan Traffic Police Division (MTPD) conducts various traffic awareness campaigns targeting drivers and pedestrians. During these campaigns, cases of traffic rule violations and the number of accidents decreases significantly. However, once such drives are over, drivers and pedestrians seem to revert to their old habits of disregarding road rules.
MTPD reports show that the number of accidents and fatalities decrease during campaigns like the traffic week, campaigns against
jaywalking and awareness campaigns promoting the use of seatbelts. Furthermore, fatalities have reduced by around 20 percent since the beginning of the anti-drunk driving campaign.
According to DSP Pawan Giri, spokesperson at the MTPD, over 80 percent of accidents are results of traffic rule violations by drivers and pedestrians while the remaining 20 percent is caused by poor infrastructure. Among 352 reports of accidents registered in December, drivers were responsible for over 200 cases while the negligence of pedestrians was responsible for 71 accidents. The accident chart for the 2011/12 fiscal year shows that among 5,096 accidents, the negligence of drivers was responsible for 3,928 cases, pedestrians' recklessness for 168 cases and poor infrastructure for 102 cases.
Last year, the MTPD conducted a month-long anti-jaywalking campaign, teaching pedestrians to use zebra-crossings and overhead bridges and follow traffic signals. Hundreds of negligent pedestrians were fined and detained briefly and made to promise that they would not repeat their mistake. Cases of jaywalking decreased to almost nil during the campaign. However, such cases are now abundant. It is not just pedestrians, vehicle operators too are guilty of the same. "Traffic rule violations will never end unless road users realise that rules are there for their own safety," said DSP Giri.
According to the MTPD, complying with traffic regulations and upholding basic civic sense on the road can make travelling much easier, convenient and safer, curbing road accidents and lowering fatalities and injuries. Accident charts show that youth between the ages of 17 and 35 are responsible for over 70 percent of accidents. "It's the tendency of the youth to feel proud for flouting rules," said MTPD Chief DIG Upendra Kant Aryal.
Aryal stressed the need for a curriculum relating to traffic rules and civic sense from the school level itself to bring changes to the present scenario. He said that the traffic police's effort alone cannot bring about significant changes. "We don't see the presence of traffic police on the road in many developed countries as people understand that rules are there for their own safety. However, it's totally the reverse in our country," Aryal observed.
The MTPD cannot carry out such awareness campaign very often as it is reeling under a severe human resource crunch, with personnel lacking even for day-to-day operations, said Aryal. Currently, around 1,050 traffic personnel have been deployed in the Valley, leaving one traffic police to manage 600 vehicles on average during peak hours and cover 1.65 km.

Overall, reasonable food, nothing special. Our service was slow, and there was a mistake on the bill. I wouldn't say stay away, you can try it, but no way is it a 5 out of 5. Interesting, the way they look at things. The Breaded pork tenderloin ( fairly tasty ) came with sides including beans. We asked for it without breading, and the waitress said that would be no problem. When we received the meal, the beans were absent. When asked, the waitress said they were not included and were $2.50 additional. We sprung for them but didnt eat much of them. Not our style, probably we are used to more carribean (Cuban ot Puerto Rican style).

The foods taste great, the portions are wonderful, usually you end up taking half of your food home. The waitresses are friendly. Atmosphere is casual.

Bone health and girls
You may have heard about the need to build strong bones. But what exactly do girls need for bone health? Here are answers to some commonly asked questions.
- Why do girls need to think about bone health?
- What is "bone-strengthening" activity?
- What about calcium and vitamin D?
- Should girls take a calcium supplement? Is it possible to get too much calcium?
- Can girls get enough calcium and vitamin D if they have lactose intolerance?
- Are dairy products the best way to build strong bones?
- What else can adolescents do to promote their bone health?
- How can girls take part in bone-strengthening activity while staying indoors?
- What kinds of bone-strengthening activities can girls with physical disabilities do?
- How can I learn more about helping girls build healthy bones?
Why do girls need to think about bone health? top
Childhood and the teen years are peak bone-building years. A poor diet and not enough physical activity in the teen and preteen years can increase the risk of osteoporosis (say: OSS-tee-oh-puh-ROH-suhss) later in life. Osteoporosis is a disease that makes bones break easily. It is called a silent disease because bone loss occurs without symptoms. While osteoporosis can strike at any age, more than half of all women over age 65 have it. You can work with girls to develop diet and exercise habits that will help them have healthy bones throughout their lives.
What is "bone-strengthening" activity? top
Bone-strengthening activities produce a force on the bones and promote bone growth and strength. Examples of bone-strengthening activities include walking, running, tennis, dancing, tae kwon do, hiking, hopscotch, and basketball.
Biking and swimming are not as good for building bones. That's because the water or bicycle lessens the force that helps build bones. These activities do help overall health, though.
What about calcium and vitamin D? top
Along with exercise, girls need calcium and vitamin D to build strong bones.
- Calcium helps bones to develop properly. The body uses calcium to build new bone. Calcium is also needed for many other activities within the body. If a girl doesn't eat enough calcium, her body may take the calcium from her bones, which can make them weaker.
- Vitamin D helps the body use calcium. Lots of foods have calcium, but vitamin D can be harder to find. Foods such as milk, cereal, and yogurt may be fortified with vitamin D.
The recommended amount of calcium for girls age 9 to 18 is 1,300 milligrams of calcium per day. Girls need 600 IU (15 mcg) of vitamin D per day. You can read the Nutrition Facts label on food packages to learn how much of each nutrient is in one serving. You also can check out a chart listing the calcium content of foods and drinks that many young girls like.
Should girls take a calcium supplement? Is it possible to get too much calcium? top
Girls can get plenty of calcium from food. It is found in a variety of good-tasting foods like milk, yogurt, broccoli, and cheese. Many foods also have calcium added to them, such as orange juice, breakfast cereals, cereal bars, and soy drinks. You can check a food's Nutrition Facts label to see if it has added calcium. Some girls might have allergies or other dietary restrictions that mean they get less calcium. You can ask a pediatrician whether your girl needs calcium supplements. Most girls can get enough calcium by eating the right types of foods.
It is possible to get too much calcium, but it is not likely for most girls. Even with all the products that have added calcium, most girls get far less calcium each day than the recommended 1,300 mg.
Can girls get enough calcium and vitamin D if they have lactose intolerance? top
Lactose intolerance means a person gets a stomachache or gas after eating milk or other dairy products. The good news is that some milk and other dairy products are specially made for people with lactose intolerance. You can also buy pills to take with dairy that help digest it. In addition, other foods have calcium, such as broccoli, almonds, and foods fortified with calcium like orange juice and cereals. But if a girl doesn't eat dairy, it can be hard to get enough vitamin D, so read food labels carefully, and ask her doctor if she needs a vitamin D supplement pill.
Are dairy products the best way to build strong bones? top
Dairy products are a very important part of an adolescent's diet. They provide calcium, vitamin D, and other important nutrients. Some people worry that milk and other dairy products are fattening. But it is easy to get low-fat or fat-free milk and dairy products. There are good non-dairy sources of calcium. But dairy products usually offer a lot more calcium per serving.
What else can adolescents do to promote their bone health? top
It is important for girls to not drink alcohol or smoke. Those behaviors can hurt bone health (and overall health, of course). It is also important to have a healthy diet with enough calcium and vitamin D. That's why girls with eating disorders face an extra risk of developing weaker bones. Girls should also avoid eating too much sodium, which can cause their bodies to lose calcium and cause other health problems, such as high blood pressure.
How can girls take part in bone-strengthening activity while staying indoors? top
There are plenty of indoor bone-strengthening activities that girls can do. They can try dancing, lifting hand-held weights (or soup cans), jogging in place, and push-ups, for example.
What kinds of bone-building exercises can girls with physical disabilities do? top
There are a number of bone-building exercises available to girls with physical disabilities. These include resistance training, which uses elastic bands and hand weights. You can read about more bone-building exercises for girls with disabilities.
How can I learn more about helping girls build healthy bones? top
The Best Bones Forever! website for parents offers helpful information, including activity tips and recipes

August 4, 2015
WACO, Texas (AP) Nine hours after his release from prison, Jonique Ramon Webster was back in custody again for trying to burglarize a Central Texas prosecutor's home.
Webster was given 40 years in prison Thursday for the June incident.
The Waco Tribune-Herald reported that Webster had just gotten off the bus in Waco after his release from state prison on a 10-year sentence for home burglary. According to court records, Webster was wandering around the city and picked the home of Gabrielle Massey, a McLennan County prosecutor.
A neighbor who felt uncomfortable called police, who caught Webster with $20 in cash, car and house keys, a TiVo remote and a bicycle.
He later pleaded guilty.
Webster has several prior convictions on his record and won't be eligible for parole for 10 years.

Rising inflation, in combination with a weaker rupiah and a higher interest rate environment in Southeast Asia's largest economy, will hurt sales at consumer-goods firms such as Unilever Indonesia, a director of the company said.
During a visit to the offices of BeritaSatu Media Holdings on Friday, Unilever Indonesia director and corporate secretary Sancoyo Antarikso said a weakening rupiah would result in an increase in the cost of imported foodstuffs.
Indonesia imports many of its food requirements such as soybeans.
The weaker currency does not only hurt consumers, but it also affects Unilever directly, as "50 percent of the raw materials are impacted by the weakening rupiah," Sancoyo said.
As a comparison, raw materials and packaging costs accounted for 90 percent of the total cost of goods sold by Unilever.
The rupiah, which was traded at 11,142 against the US dollar on Friday, has declined by 15 percent so far this year.
Despite this, strong income growth could still provide good prospects for companies like Unilever.
"Some consumers reduce their usage, or move to less costly brands. Luckily, we have brands and products in many different segments," Sancoyo said.
He said disposable income of Indonesian consumers had been hurt by price increases in many aspects of their life — from rising electricity tariffs since the beginning of this year, to a hike in subsidized fuel prices since June and higher interest rates that has also affected lending rates on mortgage loans.
The government raised the subsidized fuel price by an average of 33 percent in June, which caused inflation to accelerate to 8.61 percent in July.
Unilever produces and sells home and personal care products as well as packaged foods and beverages. Some of the company's popular lines include Lifebuoy and Lux soaps, Pepsodent toothpaste, Buavita beverages and Rexona deodorants.
Banking on strong consumer goods spending in Indonesia, Unilever Indonesia has been able to keep annual profit growth of above 15 percent in the last 15 years.
Sancoyo said despite of the challenges, Indonesia still offered lots of opportunities. The $900 billion economy, the largest in Southeast Asia, still has a low per capita use of some consumer goods.
The country's economy, which expanded by 6.23 percent last year, is forecast by the Bank Indonesia to expand by 5.9 percent this year.
Domestic consumption, accounting for around two-thirds of the economy, is expected to drive the growth in Indonesia.
In the past three years, Unilever has boosted investment, as it races to cash in on higher demand for fast-moving consumer goods in Indonesia.
Sancoyo said between 2010 and 2012, the company has spent up to Rp 4.3 trillion ($390 million) in capital expenditure to expand the capacity of some of its factories in the country. Prior to 2010, capex was typically less than Rp 1 trillion.
Unilever now employs around 7,000 people. The company owns eight factories in Indonesia, of which two are in Surabaya and six in Cikarang, West Java.
