Discussion in 'Shoes and Apparel' started by aweil, Aug 19, 2012.
just wondering what ways there are out there to wash my nike featherlite hat without ruining it.
Wash in cold water, gentle cycle, in one of those mesh bags. Air dry. Once it is clean and dry.....then burn it. It's crap.
Hat World sells a plastic frame (called Ball Cap Buddy) that lets you put any ball hat in the washer and not deform it. Just be careful with the spin cycle because it can make the hat ride up in the enclosure.
I prefer to clean them in the sink using WIN detergent or Penguin Sports wash.
I have a Nike dri-fit hat I use for tennis. I just throw it in the machine without a bag in delicate cycle with cold water. Air dry them after. Comes out looking almost new.
This. It's one of the few hats you can just throw in there without special treatment.
Agreed. Though to be honest I do the same thing with my Ghoats, arrow up and climalites. Only key thing to remember is to air dry.
LOL :twisted:

Manufacturer's Directions
For best results, take a couple of sips from a 16.9 fl. oz. bottle of water before adding packet. Empty the contents of the packet into bottle. Shake well until dissolved and enjoy!
This is my favorite drink. I also love to add chia seeds - YUM!
These drink mixes taste great and are low cost, not to mention the vitamins & minerals (and no sugar!) I carry these around in my purse to mix into water bottles throughout my day. These also seem to give me more energy, which is probably due to the B vitamins. These are great.
I am not much of a soda or sweet drink person but I did like a certain brand of vitamin water now and then, especially when I was too busy to stay on track with my regular vitamins and supplements. But packaged in bottles, it was wasteful and inconvenient, and if sometimes I didn't want the extra sugar, I also didn't want artificial sweeteners.
These drink sticks have everything I love about vitamin water without any of the things I don't. I tuck a few of these into my netbook sling once a week and have one anytime I feel like it. They also fit neatly into most coat pockets. The crystals dissolve very easily. Of the two flavors Allstar carries, I like the Acai Lemonade more but the fiber in the Tropical Punch formula is nice to have. Would like to try the other varieties. Each has a different combination of beneficial ingredients for different needs. I'm a big fan of the Now brand and am not disappointed by these sticks.
The low price here makes it very affordable to try them, so give it a shot!

EVANSTAN, Ill. - With 8:31 left in the fourth quarter Northwestern scored what appeared to be a back-breaking touchdown to put the Wildcats up 28-16.
Of the over 25,000 Nebraska fans in attendance at Ryan Field, some began to make their way to the exit aisles. Thankfully for the Huskers over 95 percent of the fans in attendance decided to stay.
Husker nation occupied well over half of Northwestern's stadium on Saturday, and you can argue they kept Nebraska on life support after countless miscues. Husker nation helped will Nebraska to a 29-28 come from behind victory - tying the largest fourth quarter comeback in school history.
If you are in Ann Arbor or Columbus this probably doesn't happen, but the large contingent of fans that traveled to Chicago kept this team alive when it looked they were being read their last rights. The season was on the line and the Huskers delivered when it counted the most.
"What do you say about that one," head coach Bo Pelini said. "I'm proud of our team and the resiliency they showed. I thought it was a good team win."
Most importantly junior quarterback Taylor Martinez delivered.
So many times in this situation when Nebraska has been down on the road Martinez has struggled to make the throws in the clutch. Today was a different story.
Martinez arguably played his best game as a Husker finishing 27-of-39 with 342 yards and three touchdowns. In the fourth quarter alone Martinez was 10-of-14 for 140 yards and two touchdowns.
"He was poised the whole time," Pelini said of Martinez. "He kept his poise better than his head coach did."
Going forward it's hard to say what this win will mean. If Nebraska is able to "win out," people will go back to this fourth quarter comeback in Northwestern was the turning point of the season.
The key is they need to build off it. The mistakes and miscues we saw today were inexcusable. The Huskers were very fortunate to pull this game out after having three costly fumbles and committing eight penalties.
"I firmly believe we can win them all," Pelini said. "We can play with anyone we play, but we can't do the things we did today. We can't give up possessions and turn the football over. We have to keep working. We have to keep getting better and more efficient. We pulled this out."
What I saw on Saturday
***The status of running back Rex Burkhead going forward looks in doubt. Saturday is the third time in seven weeks he has hurt his knee. Makes you wonder if he came back on it too fast, but it's hard to look back now. It's going to be a week-to-week battle with Burkhead going forward.
***I would really like to see sophomore Braylon Heard get some more carries with the offense instead of only being used situationally. Heard had Nebraska's longest run of the day of 18 yards and it was his only touch of the game.
***Sophomore wide receiver Kenny Bell and junior Quincy Enunwa are one of the better one-two punches the Huskers have had in a while. There was only one drop today for Nebraska's receivers and there have only been seven on the season. Bell and Enunwa are a big reason why this number is so low.
***Junior cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptiste may have gotten beat deep once, but I thought both he and Ciante Evans played outstanding games. Evans neutralized Kain Colter to just three catches for 17 yards, while Jean-Baptiste had five pass break-ups in coverage downfield.
***The injuries across the board for Nebraska right now are pretty eye-popping. Defensive tackles Chase Rome and Kevin Williams were out with concussions, defensive end Avery Moss was out with an injury and starting cornerback Josh Mitchell was out today with an ankle injury. It had to be a stressful week for both defensive line coach Rick Kaczenski and defensive coordinator John Papuchis knowing the amount of guys they were going to be without on Saturday.
***With so many injuries on NU's defensive line I thought it was smart the Huskers played senior Cameron Meredith inside at defensive tackle. This is something Meredith has done in the past when injuries have hit Nebraska up front. Makes you wonder where Aaron Curry is right now? Could NU be trying to medical redshirt him?
***On the fourth down play Nebraska failed to convert offensive coordinator Tim Beck said tight end Kyler Reed went the wrong way, which left his man unblocked.
"He thought the play was going left and we were going right," Beck said. "The guy he was supposed to block made the play."
The final grades
Rushing offense: B
Nebraska rushed for 237 yards on 44 carries. The Huskers didn't have a single run longer than 18 yards. It was just a solid move the chains performance. What you have to be disappointed with though is Nebraska was unable to convert on multiple third-and-short situations and they have to get that fixed going forward.
Passing offense: A
Martinez was simply amazing down the stretch for Nebraska keeping his composure in a lot of tough situations. Martinez finished 27-of-39 for 342 yards and three touchdowns engineering two fourth quarter drives all through the air to get NU 13 points.
Rushing defense: B+
The quarterback run game was nonexistent for Northwestern, as Colter had only 35 yards on 14 carries. The only thing you can downgrade Nebraska on is allowing Venric Mark to bust loose for an 80 yard touchdown. Take away that run and Northwestern averaged just 2.7 yards on their other 37 carries.
Passing defense: A-
The Huskers made the Wildcats almost one-dimensional by taking away the QB run game and knocking Mark out of the game with what appeared to be a concussion. This forced Trevor Siemian into a lot of obvious throwing situations and he finished the game just 15-of-35 for 116 yards. It was a solid game all-around for Nebraska's pass defense shutting down the Wildcats spread offense.
Special teams: F
Special teams nearly lost the game for Nebraska today, as the Huskers muffed two punts and Daimion Stafford got a personal four penalty on another punt that took away a fumble recovery on a dropped punt by Northwestern that could've made the game 10-0. Brett Maher also shanked a 16 yard punt that led to a Wildcat touchdown to give them the lead for the first time. These were critical, critical mistakes that you typically aren't going to be able to overcome in a football game.

We are proud to name as this week\'s Rick and Len Show Weenie of the Week...
Outagamie County Board Supervisor Peter Beckley, who this week was charged
drunk driving...for the fourth time!
Police say he was driving without headlights on one night last February when an officer tried to pull him over. But even though the cop had his squad car lights and siren on, Beckley didn\'t pull over. Instead he drove into his own driveway and tried to walk into his house. The criminal complaint says he then refused a sobriety test and told the officer "this is my house" and ordered the cop off the property. By the way, his license was already suspended from his third O-W-I.
For apparently thinking that no matter how drunk you are, as long as you make it home, you\'re good. No ticket for you.
For allegedly having a point-oh-two-one blood alcohol content, which is apparently about twice as high as his I-Q.
And for doing his level best as the county\'s Finance Committee Chairman to keep the county in the black by paying lots of drunk driving fines.
We are proud to name Outagamie County Board Supervisor and accused four-time drunk driving offender Peter Beckley as this week\'s Rick and Len Show...WEENIE OF THE WEEK!

Melvin building team for present, future
General manager's goal is to have team built from within
By / MLB.com
Doug Melvin: Hello everyone, thanks for joining us today. Let's get started.
Rodiggity: Has anyone come calling about any Brewers outfielders?
Melvin: Not at this time, it is still early in camp. I expect phone calls to pick up in the next 7-10 days.
D_Havens: How do you feel about the shape of the coaching staff compared to last year?
Melvin: The addition of Ed Sedar and Jim Skaalen has been well received by our players. They are quite familiar with all of our young players as they were a part of each of their development in the Minor Leagues. Nick Leyva brings a wealth of experience and a very good personality and winning attitude to the staff.
muddslide: How does Rickie Weeks' wrist look after coming off of surgery? Can we expect to see him continue the progress he was making last year?
Melvin: Rickie Weeks is coming along fine. He is starting to swing the bat right now and looks much improved defensively.
roybese: I know its early but with the success of Ryan Braun and Yovanni Gallardo, will we see them sooner than September at the Major League level?
Melvin: They are both possibilities in seeing some time at the Major League level. They are both having good springs but are also young and inexperienced.
Rodiggity: Could you go into the expectations the Brewers have for new full-time starter, Corey Hart?
Melvin: We would love to see Corey get between 400 and 500 plate appearances this year so that next year he could be penciled in as a regular for years to come.
Squire: I know Derrick Turnbow has had good results from a numbers standpoint thus far this spring, but how has his "stuff" looked?
Melvin: Turnbow's stuff is just as good as it was last year and we are very encouraged by his outings so far this spring.
Andy5: With Mike Rivera and JD Closser out of options, are you worried that another team will pick them up on waivers if they don't make the big club? How could this affect the catching depth at Nashville?
Melvin: Rivera and Closser have both had very good springs and we are a little concerned that they could get claimed on waivers, but we are fortunate to have the experience of Johnny Estrada and Damian Miller at the big-league level.
madcityfan: With our excess of quality outfielders and lack of a quality healthy third baseman, isn't it the wrong time to move Bill Hall to the outfield. He could easily step in at third until Braun is ready.
Melvin: Our stance is to get Bill in center field now and not have to have him play third base and move him again when Ryan Braun is ready.
pgerbs: With possible platoons at third base and left field, how do you think Ned Yost can keep the players involved "happy" about their playing time? Are you and your staff still seeking trade options?
Melvin: Ned has had a discussion with the entire team that platooning will be a part of our defensive mix this year to try and maximize our offensive performance, and the players understand that.
roybese: How as a GM do you get yourself to hold back and not put players like Braun and Gallardo right into the roster?
Melvin: It is very difficult when you see players as talented as Braun and Gallardo. You have to weigh their experience versus the players' skills. My philosophy has always been to bring young players up to the big leagues when they are prepared to stay and not to bring them up, have a failure and move them back and forth from Triple-A to the Major Leagues.
Andy5: Are there any concerns that the injuries suffered last year by J.J. Hardy and Weeks have stunted their development?
Melvin: Right now they both look very good, the injuries prevented them from getting an additional 300 plate appearances, but since both are very hard workers, we feel that they are still a big part of our future.
brewers87: Do you plan on keeping the young guys around; do they want to stay?
Melvin: Our ultimate goal is to have a Major League team of players we draft and develop from our own system.
Squire: What, if any, aside from staying healthy, are the club's expectations for Manny Parra and Mike Jones this season?
Melvin: They have both been throwing in big-league camp and we are very pleased with their progress. But since both missed a lot of time with injuries, it is important that they complete a full season this year.
brewers87: Are the Brewers building a team for the future or wanting to win now?
Melvin: Yes, we want to win now, but we also feel that what we are putting together now will be a big part of the team's future.
SamB: There was talk of having Dave Bush be the fifth starter so he could help in relief when the schedule allows. Is that still the plan? I think it is a mistake not to give a pitcher like Bush a confirmed No. 4 spot in the rotation.
Melvin: That has not been discussed this year and we all agree that it will probably not happen.
Ryne: Would you ever consider running the 60-yard dash again? It seems, in hindsight, that it was a bad idea with Gabe Gross and Prince Fielder being hurt.
Melvin: We will run it again, it is something that we will do in the future. We want our team to develop athletically and understand that running is a valuable part of what they do on the field.
PatListach: What's your handicap, and what's your time in the 60-yard dash?
Melvin: I haven't golfed in years. Last time I golfed, I shot about 102. Last time I ran a 60-yard dash I ran a 7.2, but that was 1978. Today, I could probably run a 13.5 and would also pull a hamstring.
Melvin: Thanks for joining us today! Tune in to the webcast of today's game on brewers.com!

The cervical mucus method, also called the Billings Ovulation Method, is a type of natural family planning also known as fertility awareness-based methods.
The cervical mucus method is based on careful observation of mucus patterns during the course of your menstrual cycle. Before ovulation, cervical secretions change — creating an environment that helps sperm travel through the cervix, uterus and fallopian tubes to the egg. By recognizing the changing characteristics of your cervical mucus, you can predict when you'll ovulate, which can help you determine when you're most likely to conceive.
If you're hoping to get pregnant, you can use the cervical mucus method to determine the best days to have sex. Similarly, if you're hoping to avoid pregnancy, you can use the cervical mucus method to determine which days to avoid unprotected sex.
Using the cervical mucus method for birth control requires motivation and diligence. If you don't want to conceive, you and your partner must avoid having sex or use a barrier method of contraception during your fertile days each month.

The Oscars have been announcing all sorts of changes in the past couple of weeks. They're expanding the Best Picture nominee list from 5 to 10, they're taking the honorary Oscar presentations out of the telecast, and they're toughening up the rules for Best Song contenders.
On the Best Song front, the Academy will require that at least one song must achieve a minimum score of 8.25 on a scale of 6 to 10 as voted on by member's of the academy's music branch.
Okay, I don't really get it either, but I applaud them for trying to improve the quality of the nominees. According to Bruce Boughton, head of the music branch of AMPAS, "There's been a lot of talk about the songs in films, the lack of memorability compared to songs in the past, the almost forgetability of them… This is an attempt to really make the songs as good as possible." Good for them.
I actually find the Best Song winners of late to be far more interesting than when the category was dominated by songs from animated films. Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas, The Prince of Egypt and Tarzan all took home Oscars for Best Song the 1990s. What's up with that? Recent winners include "Jai Ho" from Slumdog Millionaire, "Falling Slowly" from Once and "I Need to Wake Up" from An Inconvenient Truth.
Which of these Oscar winners for Best Song do you think will stand the test of time? Voice your choice in today's featured poll.

We're still really hoping this Clancy Pendergast thing pans out for USC, because a name like that following "Monte Kiffin" makes writing Trojans football/The Thorn Birds fan fiction that much easier. But until Lane Kiffin actually lands a defensive coordinator for 2013, we're going to have to work with what we have. And what we have, in this case, is Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti turning down the gig, per a report in The Oregonian:
The Trojans recently reached out to Aliotti, who just completed his 21st season as an Oregon assistant. He began his career as an Oregon graduate assistant in 1978; he became best known for coordinating the "Gang Green" defense that helped the Ducks reach the Rose Bowl after the 1994 season. Aliotti's defenses have been overshadowed by Oregon's "blur" offense in recent years, though Kelly praised Aliotti and the defense virtually every chance he could.
That celebrated unit had its most alarming night of the 2012 season in the Coliseum last November, allowing the Trojans to amass 51 points and 615 net yards, albeit in a losing effort.
Not having a duck in this race, we will cede control of this trenchant analytical effort to a highly scientific poll: Pac-12 fans, has USC lost face by asking for help from a conference rival? Or is plucking the carcass of the Kelly regime a jolly good time regardless of outcome, and a nice followup to Kelly trying to flip a USC commit less than a week before accepting the Eagles gig?

Samsung OMNIA HD i8910 ReviewSamsung OMNIA HD
As we mentioned, the Samsung OMNIA HD i8910 runs the latest Symbian OS version geared to touch screen sensitive phones (v9.4 S60 5th Edition), similarly to the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and Nokia N97 with the major difference being it has been modified to utilize the Samsung´s TouchWiz 3D interface. In our preview we tipped you off that certain changes in the interface were quite likely and we were right. There are new things indeed, but more of them concern the outer appearance of the software. Just like other TouchWiz cell phones, the interface looks great, shiny and funny and widgets are open from the bar on the left hand side of the screen (you should press the arrow first). A number of them come preloaded onto the phone, plus you can easily download more using a dedicated widget.
Unlike other TouchWiz phones, the OMNIA HD brings along three separate widget screens that are quite easy to switch between through touching an icon at the top of the screen, just the way you do when using a computer with several desktops. We do like that you can lock the position of every widget onto each separate screen as to avoid displacing them. Now, let´s go on with the other airs and graces of the interface.
3D navigation is one the eye-candies that can be switched off should you not really like it. Just touch in the home screen and slide it to your right and you´ll switch over to the Photo Contacts screen. As suggested by its name, you can call up contacts by just touching the assigned photos. They are pretty easy to tag in a Facebook-like style which is really cool.
main menu. It looks in character with the TouchWiz interface, with all these showy eye-candy icons appearing in a 3x4 grid. Changing over to a vertical item list is pretty easy as well.
Some people would find the widgets likeable a feature, others won´t. If you are one of those who belong to the second group you can easily change the theme over to Finger Use or Basic. There are only wallpaper and the four icons at the bottom of the screen in Basic mode, whereas Finger Use allows customizable quick access to four functions of your own choosing, just like the shortcut bar on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Additional info like upcoming calendar events and song name pops up on screen if the music player is on.
Submenus on the Samsung OMNIA HD i8910 appear as a vertical list of functions and you need to double-click one to select it just like on the 5800 XpressMusic. There is no way you can break away from this, but this method should at least help you make less wrong picks.

Omnia HD or Omnia II?
3. panacea224 (Posts: 19; Member since: 20 Dec 2008)
Great review guys. The Omnia HD sounds amazing, too bad it's going to cost a ridiculous amount of money.
4. redman (Posts: 12; Member since: 14 May 2008)
Can this be sync'd with Outlook (for all typical WinMo stuff like contacts, calendar, notes)? I have been using WinMo devices since my life exists in Outlook on my PC and I need the phone to mirror all of that data without any effort. Thanks for any feedback.
29. Luiz Ocean (Posts: 1; Member since: 16 Mar 2010)
I have the same problem. I cannot use mobile withou outlook. I´d like to buy this Omnia, but I need to know how to sync with Outlook. Well, please let me know

Not so good review.. -what is inside the box? -does it have TV-Out for non HD via cable? -opinion about the quality of HD video should be wider -more HD videos sample please. also some D1 Is the sample HD video was really from final unit? why the heck that it has only 8khz?
12. madesina (Posts: 24; Member since: 05 Oct 2008)
Who uses TV OUT on their phone???????????????? NO ONE! And if you do, stop using it. get a life. And furthermore, it only records at 24fps anyway, it's really not that impressive. And in my opinion, the UI is rubbish. It looks like it was made for 6 year olds.

"Who uses TV OUT on their phone????????????????" He obviously does. Alot of people want to know that as its an extremely useful function. Seriously.

WHAT CARRIER IS IT GOING TO BE ON? I hope it's not Verizion...if it is i'll prob switch over... Looks like the Iphone has a real competitor after the huge Storm failure.
7. bng (Posts: 107; Member since: 12 Feb 2009)
it probably will since Verizon alredy has the first Omnia...... i really hope it dose...
8. dorky24 (Posts: 23; Member since: 22 Apr 2009)
I doubt it as the official name for this phone is no longer Omnia HD, but I8910HD. Besides, I really doubt this phone will officially come out to the U.S. @heavybreathing, if you are using a service that uses a SIM card, you can just purchase this phone unlocked.
10. heavybreathing (Posts: 276; Member since: 26 Feb 2009)
I noticed that. Problem is...it's probably a $500-600 phone.

It looks terrific if the battery lasts.... however, claiming that watching video of ANY resolution on a 3.7 inch screen is breathtaking, just screams, that, well, maybe his girlfriend told him that 3.7 inches is breathtaking! And he believed her!

Nice review! But does it have a lens cover? Don't see it on any of the pictures, but it would be a shame if it hasn't one. Can someone please tell me?
14. Charbax (Posts: 2; Member since: 02 May 2009)
What bitrates, which formats, which encoding complexities, which audio formats does it support for HD playback? Does the TV output support HD resolution TV output something like HDMI output full HD digital quality or is it just some standard resolution tv output? What is the purpose of the HD playback if you can't display the HD quality using the phone itself but have to decode it on the TV DLNA local network set top box. Do you have other 720p recorded clips in your gallery showing the actual sound quality? Does it support high quality Bluetooth microphones to be used for high quality wireless sound recording in 1280x720 video camcorder mode?

17. heavybreathing (Posts: 276; Member since: 26 Feb 2009)
This review gave us very little information. When is this phone coming out? How much will it cost? Whats in the box? Who is it coming to? Etc?

sorry when you say large files how large is it because i am doing medicine and some ebooks are about 700 to 1000 pages in PDF form. i now have a n95 and it can't handle it so i was wondering is the ram on OMNIA HD is able to
20. coolfx35 (Posts: 1; Member since: 01 Jun 2009)
Hi dont be so sure Simbian isnt so bad it depend how they will use it on model. Reson for me to have Omnia is beacause like smart phone>omnia interfese is iresistable>made to cover as much as posible windows. Dont worry its my opinion WM is not so great and never been for me so if Samsung do their job as good as here (over WM) probably Omnia HD will be good too (sould be because of thet I buy Omnia breavly never had WM devise) Wink Curent model look much better than new HD.
21. uphaillife (Posts: 2; Member since: 01 Jul 2009)
no one here is noting the 3.7 inch AMOLED screen. You're talking about AMOLED not LCD. This thing kicks ass. AMOLED screen gives you: 180 degree view, bright screen (really bright), amazing contrast of colors, no ghosting, increased battery life, 0.001 second response. AMOLED>LCD in every way.
22. mjpower4 (Posts: 7; Member since: 27 Oct 2009)
Really fancied this one even though it is symbian but the battery life is abysmal reminds me of my old G1 and the orange only handset scuppers it for me as their firmware restrictions make the handset crippled from the off. Also Samsung need to update their firmware more often as their support sucks

Hello. I bought a Samsung S5230 for my girlfriend and was pleasantly surprised that a touch phone could work so nicely. It maked me want to change my Nokia E71 for a touch phone and I went to look for Omnia HD. I tried a working demo in a store and my-oh-my was I disappointed! In my oppinion this phone is useless! The phone experience, despite that it looks exactly like the S5230 has nothing to do with it. It is frustratingly slow, jaggy and the screen keyboard is desperatingly non precise. I don't understand. Here at the Phone Arena they reviewed the Omnia HD with excellent votes while I find it frustrating and they reviewed the S5230 with bad votes while I find it almost perfect (it's just missing WiFi in my oppinion).
27. WellWisher (Posts: 2; Member since: 20 Dec 2009)
Hi guys, just wanted to let you know there's an online petition to help put the pressure on Samsung to improve Samsung I8910 Omnia HD and the only way to get it going is if we sign on! So please follow the link and be a part of the movement:http://www.petitiononline.com/

The fierce debate over genetically-modified foods has taken a new turn in Metro Detroit.
The Hiller's grocery chain has started labeling products that do not contain any "GMO's" or genetically modified organisms. You will see signs and labels that say "Non-GMO."
"The big push right now is to try to get back to basics, try to eat a little bit more wholesome, and eat foods as they were originally intended," said Justin Hiller, vice-president of Hiller's.
Hiller says the term covers a wide range of scientific engineering that changes 80 percent of the food we eat.
He explained, "It's used to extend shelf life of product. It's used to give product a certain color, a certain texture, a certain size."
He also points out that genetic modifications have allowed farmers to have produce that fights off bacteria, and some produce can even fight off certain pests.
Shoppers told Ruth to the Rescue they appreciate the new labels. "I like it because it tells me that I am getting something that's pure, probably, something that's more natural, something that's better for me and my family," said Donna Winter of West Bloomfield, as she shopped in the Hiller's in her neighborhood.
Safety Debate
While some shoppers prefer more natural products, Hiller points out the U.S. government says "genetically modified organisms" are safe to eat.
"The government fully supports genetically modified organisms. They say there's absolutely no harm," said Justin Hiller, vice-president of Hiller's.
However, not everyone is convinced, which has stirred the debate across the country.
One shopper told us, "Everyone should recall how often the government has approved something for their citizens and it has now worked out." She urged all shoppers to do their own homework, and make the most-informed decisions possible for themselves.
No matter where you stand, Hiller says it's about giving customers a choice. He also pointed out that Hiller's already labels food that is gluten-free, low-salt, no-stale, or grown in Michigan.
"We just try to help customers make better food decisions with the products that they purchase." he said.

After rushing for 2,462 yards and 29 touchdowns as a junior, Dontavius Jackson set lofty goals for 2007. Those goals won't be reached.
The four-star back from Franklin (Ga.) Heard County broke his wrist Friday night and will be out for the remainder of the season.
With 1:30 to go in the first half, Jackson was tackled and fell to the ground like on many other plays. This time, he landed with his hand flat on the ground and that is when the damage was done.
"I felt it and I knew it was broken when it happened," Jackson said. "My hand was flat on the ground and my wrist just rolled around and went in a big circle. The bone was in the middle of my hand and I knew it was broken."
Jackson showed no sign of his injury. He simply got up and trotted off the field. Heard County was in a battle against Bremen, and Jackson did not want to show them anything.
"Dontavius did not want Bremen to see or feel that they had gotten the best of him," said Heard County offensive coordinator D.J. Curbow. "He was making some incredible runs all night and they knew if they stopped him, then they had a chance to beat us."
Jackson was the reason the Braves were in the game at that point. Heard County was down by one, 28-27, when he exited. He had already run for 241 yards and three on 12 carries. He also was one step away from returning a kick for touchdown, but he got tripped up after a 45-yard return.
Despite the injury, coaches from Clemson and Georgia told Jackson their scholarship offers are still on the table. Jackson plans to set up his visits soon, and he wants to make his college choice by the end of October.
Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, LSU and Penn State are Jackson's top five. He has one visit set - to Clemson on Oct. 20. Jackson is also on schedule to graduate early and enroll at the school of his choice in January.
Four-star linemen go head-to-head
It was one of the more talked-about opening games in the state of Georgia over the summer. Two small schools have big-time players in eastern Georgia.
Jefferson County traveled to Burke County, and the game featured a matchup between offensive tackle A.J. Harmon and defensive end Cornelius Washington.
Harmon is a 6-foot-5, 320-pound offensive tackle that excels in run blocking. Washington is a 6-foot-4, 225-pound end who has blinding speed off the edge. As it turned out, they didn't go head-to-head very often. Washington lined up on the opposite side of Harmon on most occasions.
"I would say we went up against each other about 20 percent of the time," said Washington. "We were lined up on opposite sides most of the time.
"We got into it right before halftime and we got each other. I got passed him to rush the quarterback once and then he really got me good after that."
In fact, Harmon knocked off Washington's helmet.
"I went too far upfield on a trap and I didn't see him coming when he hit me in the head and my helmet flew off," Washington said. "He got me good there. I think we both played well in that game, but they were the better team that night."
Jefferson County ended up winning the game 27-17, and the four-star Rivals100 end described the loss in one word.
"Execution," he said. "We had multiple opportunities to take the lead and to win the game, but we didn't," said Washington. "We just did not execute well enough."
A lot of Jefferson County's success came behind Harmon at offensive tackle.
"A.J. played well for us," said Jefferson County coach J.B. Arnold. "He has really worked hard this summer and prepared for this game very hard. He has cut his weight down and he plays a little quicker for us now."
Harmon also did some damage on defense.
"He had about six tackles for us on defense, and I think we counted six pancake blocks for him on offense. He had that one big block on Washington, too. He played well on both sides of the ball."
Washington finished with three tackles, one tackle for a loss, one sack and added a touchdown reception.
Family off the field, foes on it
Two of Georgia's best will line up in a big rivalry game this Friday when Habersham Central travels to Stephens County.
Four-star receiver Tavarres King will lead the Raiders of Habersham Central into the house of running back Tauren Poole. King and Poole are cousins, and they are close off the field. However, when it comes to the game Friday night, they are enemies.
"I know Tavarres and I are kin and everything, but when we are playing this game he is just another player on Habersham Central," said Poole. "That is the way I have to look at him during the game."
Poole and Stephens County respect King's abilities, and defending him is a big part of their defensive plan.
"We have to really work hard to contain him if we want to win," Poole said. "He makes a lot of big plays and we are going to prepare to keep that from happening. We all respect him around here and know he does a lot, but we will be ready."
Being ready is something Habersham Central has to worry about because they have yet to win with King on the team.
"We are 0-3 against them since I have been here," King. "We have gotten progressively better, but we have not won one yet. They blew us out my freshman year 56-21, then we lost 21-14 when I was a sophomore and they beat us 21-7 last year. The last two were close, but we need to get a win this time."
Winning is important to all around Habersham, but King tries to approach it like a normal game.
"It is very important to our county," he said. "I look at it like any other game like the rest of our team does, but our county puts a lot into this game. They want it bad and I hope we can give them a victory this year."
Each team is coming off a big win. Stephens County defeated Seneca (S.C.) 34-20 behind 245 yards and four touchdowns from Poole. Habersham Central defeated Alcovy 34-14 behind 145 yards receiving and two touchdowns from King.
Both schools will be ready Friday night as King looks to remove that goose egg he has against Stephens County. Poole plans to stay perfect against his cousin.
"I want to leave with a statement as a senior, and beating them four times in a row is a great way to do that," Poole stated.
Four-star OL could be committing this week
Riverdale offensive tackle Cordy Glenn wants to commit early, but hasn't been able to make his decision. He now says this could be the week.
"I am not sure about a day or time, but I want to get it done as soon as I can," Glenn said.
He has more than 20 offers to choose from, but it looks he has narrowed his list to two.
"I am really thinking about Alabama and Georgia the most right now," Glenn said. "I have not totally stopped considering or looking at the other schools, but those are my main two right now."
It would be of no surprise if Glenn committed but still decided to take several official visits before Signing Day.
Recruiting Notes…
No commitment is official until the prospect becomes a signee. While commitments are nice - and most end up sticking - there are always a few players that change their mind after committing early. Here is a brief rundown on some Georgia prospects:
Trevino Woods is committed to Kentucky, but he visited Georgia last weekend. He could pull in some more SEC offers this fall.
A.J. Harmon is committed to Clemson, but visited Georgia on Saturday before heading up to Clemson on Monday for the FSU game.
Nigel Nicholas is committed to Duke, but he visited Georgia. He is one to watch if more schools like UGA decide to offer him.
Tauren Poole is committed to Tennessee, but he is looking at South Carolina. He will likely make his final decision between those two.
Keith Wells headed up to Death Valley to see Clemson play host to FSU. He is still committed to the Seminoles, but he said Clemson is putting the full court press on him.
Tavarres King was in Athens on Saturday and then headed up to Clemson on Monday. He has family ties to Clemson and will likely be back to Death Valley this year, but he says he is solid to Georgia.
Quick hitter on juniors visiting
Braxton Lane is a talented athlete out of Fairburn (Ga.) Sandy Creek. He visited North Carolina and Duke over the weekend. Look for him to be a hot prospect later this fall as a wide receiver or safety.
Jarvis Jones may be the top prospect on the Carver-Columbus team this year even though they have two big-time seniors. This 6-foot-3, 205-pound athlete was at Clemson Monday night. Early offers will come for Jones.
Zach Mettenberger out of Watkinsville (Ga.) Oconee has an offer from FSU and more will follow. He was in Athens this past weekend visiting UGA.

Cuban owe Kidd bigtime .. there was no-way the Mavs were ever going to make it to the Finals with-out Kidd's strong leadership, and coach Rick Carlisle getting on the same-page with Kidd. FA Shawn Marion join the Mavs for the sake of playing with Kidd again. Rick Carlisle pulled strings of getting the missing-piece to the Mavs roster by trading for the Bobcats center Tyson Chandler.
Cuban paying Dirk all that money in 2010 is left with Dirk loyalty to fill the seats in American Airlines arena in Dallas .. Cuban showed no loyalty toward Tyson Chandler and Barea who wanted to stay Mavs. When Cuban went after Odom's contract in a trade, that really made Mavs players see Cuban soldout the Mavs future in a repeat to the Finals .. Cuban's loyalty to a championship roster for a repeat in a short 66 game season comes first.
I still believe it was Tyson Chandler who recruited Kidd to New York under Mark Cuban nose .. Tyson Chandler knows HOF Kidd's strong leadership as a player/coach is what coach Woodson need to have great success from Stat & Melo individual performance.
Lets fa e it. Texas is a bellish desert filled with ignorant racists. Kidd couldnt wait to get out. He gave a verbal to cuban which is shady but the knicks is nyc where everyone wants to play thats not a moron (lebron).
^ I agree
Kidd made the right choice, hes coming to a great city and he fits in better on our team then he ever did in DallAss trash
Cuban let the CBA call his shots .. Cuban didnt show any effort in keeping 80% of his championship roster together for a short 66 game season .. plus that championship roster wanted another season together.
Dolan didnt let the CBA stop him from handing Tyson Chandler a 4 yr contract at $48M.
Kidd made a wiser decision than Nash....until Dwight joined Nash in LA
Cuban used to not be shy about spending money. Theres a cba but he could just pay luxury tax. I wonder if hes having money problems. Maybe deron and dwight asked for too much. Maybe dirk will want out soon. Trade amare for dirk? Lol jk.
They missed out on Deron but he's in a good situation and he's not committed to any players just for the sake of committing the big bucks.
Dirk is durable and I see him playing at a high level for maybe the next 5 years. He will not put up the 20 points maybe, but the guy is 7 feet and can drain the snake.
Dallas prognosis: good things
I used to like Cuba back in the day because he showed passion for the game. Now I think he's getting too much face time in the media and his image is starting to take a hit. It probably is a Texas thing. I don't know whoes craving more attention Cuba or Jerry Jones. As long as Cuba dosen't start rapping about pizza in commercials I still hold a lil respect for him. As far as Kid goes....he of all people should know that this is a biz, I'm sure the last thing he wants to do is look like the whining Dan Gilbert.

Discussion in 'Miscellaneous' started by Timby, Oct 2, 2012.
That's like getting a general anaesthetic, so I'm not surprised the memory's kind of hazy...
Canton is hip but expensive.
6079SmithW already covered the big stuff. Baltimore also has a lot of options for live music, several excellent museums (one of my favorite places in the world is the American Visionary Arts Museum), a wide variety of ethnic restaurants, world-class health care (we'll hope you don't have the opportunity to use much of that), and a good zoo.
Since I don't know what kinds of things you actually enjoy, I don't know what else to mention. Oh yeah, I do... Shore Leave every summer.
Also, easy access to D.C.
Edited to add:
Public transportation is variable. The light rail and subway are great, but how useful you'll find them will depend on what part of the city or surrounding area you live in. I've never had the opportunity to use either! Bus service is much more widespread, but not as efficient.
Feel free to ask anything else you think of. Of the top of my head, I don't have any suggestions for neighborhoods to live in, but I'll be glad to give feedback on places you consider.
Yes...close proximity to Squiggy is always a reason to move.
As a Maryland native and someone who lives 30 minutes from Baltimore, I spend surprisingly little time in the city. I've heard that Canton is one of the better neighborhoods. Fells Point is also pretty cool. Then there's the touristy stuff at the inner harbor. Public transportation in the city? Not really sure, to be honest. I assume there's some sort of bus system but I've never used it. Driving is probably not ideal due to parking constraints. Walking seems to work well for many people. The MARC train will get you to DC if you want to explore the nation's capital.
Timby, congrats on the job and the move.
Glad to hear you landed on your feet, even if it is on the East Coast.
No advice, just best wishes and safe journey.
I've heard it's cheap up there. That has good sides and bad sides. Don't take it as a representation of the whole east coast, that's all I'm saying....
Move in with Squiggy and his new bride.
I smell SITCOM!!!
Yeah, but I've heard about prices approaching DC levels in some neighborhoods when I was still in DC, because of all the DCers who decided to move to Baltimore...
My girlfriend says Canton is nice, it's near the harbor and is being rebuilt. West of that area is also nice. North of it is Patterson Park, of which she says "stay away."
I suspect nevermore would be able to give you more specific advice, but there's that.
I would mention Camden Yards but I doubt Timby is an O's fan.
Still, worth a try, I guess. (Seriously, it is a VERY nice ballpark. One of my favorites ever.)
I did like Baltimore very much, although I didn't see much of it outside OPCY and the Inner Harbor. I do remember that Baltimoreans were very nice to me (the lovely Tora Ziyal is an example, I got to meet her ), which is exactly the opposite of, say, Philadelphia.
So is Timby the "Hero of Canton" now?
Except in certain residential neighborhoods, I've never had significant trouble parking, and I've lived here for 40 years.
That's right, you can root for the Broncos anyplace.
Congrats on the new job, Timby. Alas, I've never been to Baltimore except to see a game at Camden Yards about fifteen years ago, so I can't offer much help.
That's because of a little thing called the ocean, you wacky Midwesterner.
I am quite content with my air smelling like nothing, thank you very much.
There was a science-fiction story - I want to say Asimov, but can't be certain - where the main character commented that every world he visited smelled terrible at first, compared to shipboard air, but that after a few days they all smelled fine.
It's the same with modern cities; visit one for a day and wherever it is, it smells funny. Stay there for a few hours and the smell starts to fade away...
I think it was one of the Foundation Stories, where they were searching the Spacer worlds...
It's from Foundation's Edge, when they land on Sayshell during the search for Gaia.
I can't remember the last time a city has actually smelled bad to me. I always seem to smell the food vendors when I am walking around. Pretzels and hot dogs and roasted peanuts and stuff like that.
Probably the best food smell I have known in a big city was in Boston, in the area around Fenway Park.
Although Camden Yards has great food as well, with the requisite smells.
'Tis true, you know.
May I have this "How you doin'", my dear?
^Why certainly, sir. I'm doin'... um... actually, I'm not sure. May I get back to you on that? And how are you doin'?
Separate names with a comma.

Germano joins Cubs bullpen amid Dempster rumors
By Carrie Muskat / MLB.com
"He's one of the best pitchers in the game right now," said Germano, whom the Cubs acquired Thursday from the Red Sox for cash considerations. "He's definitely going to be sought after. Whether that had any impact on me, I have no idea. I'm not really anybody compared to him."
Dempster (5-3, 1.86 ERA) started Friday against the Cardinals. Did Germano think there was a possibility he might get the start?
"I had no idea," Germano said. "I saw that he could be traded today, I saw that I could start today. I still don't know what's going on."
As of now, Germano is in the Cubs' bullpen. The right-hander has spent almost all of the season with Triple-A Pawtucket, where he was 9-4 with a 2.40 ERA in 17 appearances. He made one relief appearance for the Red sox on July 7, and was designated for assignment on July 13.
"I was excited," he said about going to the Cubs. "I wasn't sure what was going to happen. The process was taking a little longer than they said it was going to. They had the 10 days, but they said they would do it pretty quickly. If there was no trade, they said they'd do a waiver process."
He has been stretched out, totaling 105 innings at Pawtucket, so he could've started if needed. Pitching coach Chris Bosio got a firsthand look Friday as Germano did a short session in the bullpen.
Cubs manager Dale Sveum watched Germano pitch against the Brewers, including twice in 2007, and said the right-hander has good sink on his fastball and good command of his curve. He'll take over Jairo Asencio's role in the bullpen and could make a spot start. Asencio, who had a 4.91 ERA in 30 relief appearances, was designated for assignment to make room on the roster for Germano.
Germano has pitched for the Padres, Reds, Indians and Red Sox.
"I don't know too much about what's going on here, but I know [the Cubs] have a lot of young guys and a lot of young talent," he said. "I feel it's a good opportunity to show what I can do and hopefully stick and help the team win some games and maybe find a home here."
He definitely saw the difference the Cubs make on Twitter. Germano (@JustGerm) picked up 200 followers after news broke that he'd joined the Cubs.
Cubs sign 22-year-old righty Paniagua
ST. LOUIS -- The Cubs have confirmed they signed pitcher Juan Carlos Paniagua to a $1.5 million contract.
The money will count against the Cubs' $2.9 million international signing bonus pool for 2012-13.
The 22-year-old right-hander had signed in May 2009 with the Diamondbacks as "Juan Carlos Collado" for $17,000. He pitched in the Dominican Summer League program but the deal was terminated because of fraudulent paperwork, according to Baseball America. Paniagua was then declared ineligible to sign for one year.
In 2011, he signed with the Yankees for $1.1 million as Juan Carlos Paniagua. However, Major League Baseball terminated that contract because of "falsified documents" and he was declared ineligible to sign for one year. That time period ended Thursday.
Sveum sets goal to finish season at .500
ST. LOUIS -- Dale Sveum's goal for the second half isn't just to post a .500 record for that time period, but for the Cubs to finish the season at .500.
That's a lofty goal for a team that began play Friday with a 38-53 record.
"There's no reason having a goal if it's not set high," Sveum said Friday. "To get there, it's going to be tough, obviously, to play 23 games over .500 to get to .500, but that's a goal. When you set goals, that's what you reach for -- you might come up a little short but you're a lot better off than setting a crappy goal and coming up short on that. Then you're really screwed."
The Cubs were on pace to lose more than 100 games at the All-Star break, but since June 25, the team has gone 14-5, the best record in the Major Leagues.
"You have to give the players as much credit as anything," Sveum said, adding they've maintained good work habits and a positive attitude during the tough times.
"Whether people call it 'trying to change a culture' or whatever, that's the idea of everything we do is try to be consistent with preparation and understanding about making yourself a better player every day and paying attention to details and paying attention to how important defense is," Sveum said.

Guillen strains hamstring, headed for DL
Tigers to recall Boesch for big league debut Friday
By Jason Beck / MLB.com
The team will put Guillen on the 15-day disabled list, effective Friday, and recall Brennan Boesch from Triple-A Toledo. Guillen said after the 5-4 victory over the Angels that he expects he should be ready to return when he's eligible to be activated.
Manager Jim Leyland said Boesch will be in the starting lineup Friday night at Texas, making his Major League debut. The Tigers, meanwhile, will be trying to juggle their lineup to replace a hitter Leyland called one of the keys to their offense this season.
"Carlos is a devastating loss," Leyland said, "because he's a professional hitter and he's behind [AL RBI leader Miguel] Cabrera and he's been swinging the bat well. So that's a killer. However, at the same time, you move forward. And I think, one thing this will do is it will keep some other guys sharp, because I'm going to be playing different guys now."
Guillen was on second base in the fifth inning when Scott Sizemore hit a two-out single to right-center. Guillen said his foot slipped just after touching third base, but he continued for a couple steps before he finally fell.
"When I took the bad step, my left leg opened a little bit," Guillen said. "I took another step, and that's when I fell."
That fall, Guillen said, caused the strain, not the other way around.
"I strained it because I fell," Guillen said.
Guillen fell chest-first into foul territory along the third-base line. He got back up, but could barely walk as Angels catcher Mike Napoli took the throw home and tagged him. Guillen kept on limping into the Tigers dugout, where head athletic trainer Kevin Rand escorted him into the clubhouse for medical attention.
Guillen said he did not feel a pop. He was able to walk off on his own power, and he was moving around relatively well after the game as he dressed for the team flight.
Guillen missed nearly 2 1/2 months last season to a shoulder injury suffered in an April crash against the fence in left field, and Detroit struggled to fill the void. His return in late July provided a spark to the Tigers' offense, though he was limited to DH for much of the home stretch.
Guillen has been an everyday player this season, primarily at DH, but started in left field Thursday. Don Kelly replaced him in the game for the bottom of the fifth. Johnny Damon normally starts in left field, so the Tigers have some flexibility to rotate players in the DH spot or left field in his place.
For Friday, at least, that replacement will be Boesch, who leads the International League with 15 RBIs to go with a .352 average and three home runs. He made an impression on the Tigers staff in Spring Training, and he'll provide an instant power bat once he joins the team in Texas on Friday.
"He's got big-time power," Leyland said. "I like him. I didn't figure on [his call] being this soon."
Kelly and Ryan Raburn are also likely to get some extra playing time, Leyland said. Both have made spot starts in the outfield.

According to a Russellville Police Department report, police were dispatched to an apartment in the 1300 block of South Muskogee Avenue late Tuesday night where they made contact with a woman who advised them Edgar Lagunas, 29, was inside the apartment with two other women he allegedly attacked and a 2-month-old baby.
After clearing the house of the women and the child, police found Lagunas locked inside a bedroom and refusing to comply with officers' orders to exit the room. After kicking in the door, police found Lagunas lying facedown on a bed, as if he were pretending to be asleep. Police found the sword near the kitchen of the residence.
According to the police report, the women stated Lagunas was drunk and grabbed one of the women by the throat and threw her into the bathtub. The report stated a second woman tried pulling Lagunas off the first woman he attacked, after which Lagunas allegedly placed her in a headlock. The first woman in return tried pulling him off the second, and Lagunas allegedly bit her left ring finger.
The woman Lagunas allegedly placed in a headlock said he cut off her breathing and held her in the headlock for approximately 20 seconds before biting the other's finger and getting a sword, though the report indicated the women weren't attacked with the weapon.
Lagunas was issued a $7,500 commercial bond Wednesday by District Judge Don Bourne. He's scheduled to appear in Pope County Circuit Court on Dec. 10.
• A man charged with battery after an alleged hazing incident led to the hospitalization and a medically-induced coma of an Arkansas Tech student in April now faces failure to appear charges after allegedly missing his Oct. 22 court date.
Klyantel Summons, 22, along with Stephen Bender, 25, Calvin Williams, 26, and Deonte Bradley, 22, faces battery charges after investigators allege the four were involved in a fraternity-related attack where Deshawn Scoggins, 23, was allegedly beaten with wooden canes and paddles.
According to court documents, Scoggins was admitted into the hospital the next day, where he remained for several weeks before being released.
Summons was issued a $200,000 bond Wednesday by District Judge Don Bourne per the request of Circuit Judge William Pearson and ordered to appear in Pope County Circuit Court on Dec. 10.

Gutierrez headed to extended spring training
By Josh Liebeskind / MLB.com
Out since February with a partially torn pectoral muscle, Gutierrez then suffered another setback when he was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in his foot while he was rehabbing that injury. The pectoral injury is fully healed, but Gutierrez has been able to run for less than a week.
Mariners manager Eric Wedge said the former Gold Glove winner has been able to take batting practice and run without any problems.
"Had a really good day today," Wedge said Sunday. "So the plan is, we're going to look to get him out of here, get him down to Arizona for a short period of time, then to look to get him to Tacoma."
Gutierrez is expected to use all 20 days of his allotted rehab time with Triple-A Tacoma because of the extended time he missed throughout Spring Training.
For Wedge, consistency proves most elusive
SEATTLE -- Mariners manager Eric Wedge has made it no secret there have been times of immense frustration this season. At the forefront of it all, the young ballclub's trouble with consistency has reigned supreme.
The offensive approach has perplexed Wedge lately, and also left the Mariners reeling on a three-game losing streak as they head into Sunday's contest with the Angels. That comes after the team won five of six and seemed to be headed in the right direction. But Wedge said it won't be one obvious moment when the Mariners turn the corner.
"It's not one specific moment, that's what I think everyone looks for," he said. "It's just not black and white. That's why baseball is a much more difficult game to dissect than other sports. Baseball usually lives in the gray, whereas a lot of these other sports, more black and white.
"You've got so many moving parts in such a multi-skilled sport. Like I said, everybody's their own story, so I break it down to three parts -- you got your collectible, you got your different areas of your ballclub and you got the individuals within those areas."
Despite the frustrations, Wedge said it isn't the toughest spot he's been in with a ballclub. That would fall to the early days of his time as the manager of the Indians, a young team he eventually took to the playoffs.
To turn that corner, Wedge said it is imperative to have a game plan and stick to it, which is something the Mariners are in the process of doing. Individually, he is seeing some players making the progression, but there are times when he sees regression, as well.
"What I don't like -- and this bothers me more than anything -- is when I see guys moving in the right direction, and sometimes they'll back it up to the point where they started at," Wedge said. "Then you re-tread over the same real estate. ... I don't like that.
"That's a discipline, that's more concentration, that's a focus -- that's the one thing that bothers me and that's what we're not going to accept. So when I get upset, it's because of that."
As lineup evolves, Figgins gets a rare call
SEATTLE -- The Mariners lineup for the Sunday's series finale against the Angels again took on a new look, with Chone Figgins getting a rare start in center field and Alex Liddi in at left field.
Manager Eric Wedge made it clear the lineup would continue to change for the foreseeable future.
"You're not going to have a consistent lineup until you know what your players are capable of doing," he said. "Because you can't do that until you know what you have. You can' t do that until they develop as Major League players.
"It takes time to do that. So throughout that process, you get into the lineup, you put the best lineup out there you feel is capable of winning a ballgame -- which is first and foremost in all of our minds, or should be -- and then you let it play out."
It was just the second start for Figgins since he was demoted to a utility role after the experiment of starting him in left and leading off was discontinued in mid-May. The veteran is hitting just .180 this season.
Meanwhile, Wedge continues to try to get Liddi playing time in left to improve his versatility. The rookie is a natural third baseman and is able to play first, as well.
"Just being more comfortable going after the ball," said Wedge, of the improvements he's seen from Liddi in the outfield. "That ball comes your way, I think his heartbeat's better. I think his head's a little bit more smooth when he runs, so the ball's not bouncing as much. I think his jumps are a little bit better."
Worth noting
Mike Carp stole his first career base Saturday. That gave the Mariners a stolen base in four straight games, which tied their previous season high (May 15-18).
Alberto Callaspo's grand slam Saturday was the fourth career slam allowed by Felix Hernandez, and just the sixth pinch-hit grand slam allowed by the Mariners in club history.
The Mariners had a walk-up crowd of 4,559 on Saturday, which is the second-largest ever for Safeco Field, behind the 4,880 for the April 26, 2000, game against Cleveland.
