Volgograd Things to Do
Mamayev Kurgan
Visiting the WWII memorial complex is a must in Volgograd. The complex is called To the Heroes of the Stalingrad Battle and it is well-known all over FSU countries as Mamayev Kurgan. It attracts lots of Russian and foreign visitors. As Hedrick Smith wrote in his book "The Russians" in 1976, it's "the towering World War II monument, a 160-foot...more
The Panorama and Mill
Beside the Stalingrad museum in Volgograd is a red brick building full of bullet holes. This is the only (to my knowledge) remaining building from the former Stalingrad. Yakov Fedotovich Pavlov is credited with holding this building against the Nazis for an amazing length of time, and against all odds. He is one of the most famous heroes of the...more

Panaroma Museum
The museum is located next to the steam mill, a building which is kept intact after the war. Ironically the mill was built by two german brothers before the war whose names were Gergartd. The museum has a big panaroma drawn where you may see the illustrations from a a day in Satlingard war. Also weapons, bombs, photos from that era can be seen. Be...more
Mamaev Kurgan
Mamaev kurgan is the highest point of the city and very fierce fights happened for this hill during the Battle of Stalingrad. It is actually a Tatar burial site. Kurgan (todays Turkish: Korugan) means; a sheltered place. For its strategic importance dozens of times the hill changed hands. The hill is now an open air museum, and my guide told me 35...more
Singing Walls
To be prepared to the atmosphere of the Hall of Glory, everyone must pass "Singing Walls". Voices of war, songs of that years, sound of explosions and news summary from radio information center SovInformBuro.You can listen a short sount-file (300kB) at my external page: Singing Walls.more

Old steam mill
After Stalingrad siege, that lasted almost half a year, all the town lasted in ruines. There were not a single building left. One building was preserved in this ruined state as a memorial - the old steam mill. It was build in XIX c by two german brothers businessmen. And was ruined in 1942 also by germans.On the background you can see rounded...more

Volgograd Restaurants
Late Night Sushi, Coffee, and Wifi
Located in the central district, right off the Avenue of Houses near the Volga River. This little spot is a combination full service coffee café and Sushi restaurant. Though a sushi lover, I don't do sushi in Volgograd now. But I do coffee in Russia and Kofe Nero is a delicious spot to get a cup. The service is good and the wireless internet access...more
Great Coffee - Free WiFi
This little upscale coffee café is a bit hard to find. Look for the wooden cut out of a maiden with a tray of coffee. That is the place to go for great coffee, drinks, good food, great desserts, non-smoking area and really friendly service. We stop here often for the free, wide open wireless internet access as well as nearby electrical plugs for...more
Very good business lunch
The restaurant is located in the same building as Volgograd Hotel. Its room was probably used as a theater because it has stage and very high ceiling; in general the place has good spirit of 19th century.Business lunch cost about $8 per person, it included 8 options of salads, two soups varieties, 4 side dishes and 4 meat varieties, green or black...more

A decent pizza joint in the middle of Volgograd. Who woulda thought. While, I wouldn't say it was great, or up to Chicago standards, it was certainly better than the Sparro available in Moscow. AND they have some pretty good beers available, including Pilsner Urquel!more
Great dinner...er, is that breakfast??
This place has a HORRID breakfast buffet. I would not even pack the unfinished morsels to take home for my puppy. However, at night they must change management or cooks as the dinner was fantastic, if not rather expensive (assuming that is you can tolerate the dinner entertainment...) I actually got a pretty good steak here with a spicey sauce,...more
Good German food in the heart of Russia
The name is Russian for "barrel". The food here is quite good and, if you have been traveling around Russia for awhile and have found that alot of the food tastes pretty much the same nomatter what restaurant you go to, you will this place a nice change. Everything I tried here was good. I especially like the cheese soup and the pork knuckle.more

Volgograd Transportation

I flew to Volgograd from Moscow via Volga Airlines. You can also take the train, which is a fun ride. The photo here is one example of what my friend Geoff used to call the 'MiG on a Stick' (here, it's on the banks of the Volga River). There's one of these at the entrance to almost every airport in the former Soviet Union. See how many you find!more

Veterans of the WWII
7..9 May are the days of traditional meeting of veterans in Volgograd. Not only veterans of Stalingrad battle, but all veterans of the Great Patriotic War. You can see such groups in many places in the town. 60 years passed and few of them are alive today. Many of them are 80 and more years old. But after all those years Victory Day is the greatest...more

Celebration of the Victory Day
9th of May is a special day for Vogrograd. Victory day is the most bright and lovely holliday here. This time we were there on May 7th and have seen the "dress rehearsal" of the victory parage.

Volgograd Tourist Traps
This information first and foremost concerns those men whose major goal in a trip to Russia is to find a "young faithful Russian wife" at a "considerably low cost". I want to assure you that Russia is no longer a despirate place to live in. Ladies in this country (especially between 25-35 y.o.) have much better living conditions and chances to be happy in their own country in comparison to what they had 5-7 years ago, when applying to a marriage agency was the only way to escape from poverty and former husband-drunkard. But now they learnt one more improtant thing: to live in a free fast-developing Russia can be a real pleasure if you have money (the first fruits of Capitalistic life :-) ). And living in any country can be a nightmare if you have no money. For a very long time Russian ladies had a strong belief that any country is a Paradise except Russia and any man is a "Prince Charming" if he is not Russian. But this belief has been killed during the last couple of years by Russian government which created and broadcasted several TV programs and published a lot of articles on the topic of "What a cheap, miserable and dangerous life Russian ladies have abroad with their foreignhus bands". So, dear Gentlemen, if you are planning a trip this summer to meet your possible Russian wife, be sure to prepare to your dates absolutely in the same way as if you were dating any American or European woman. Do not think that your potential wife's heart will be conquered just after she sees your American (British, French etc.) citizenship in your passport. Russian brides are not a cheap option now. And if you do not want to be fooled around by Her in order to get several free dinners at a restaurants at your expence (something is better then nothing) or to be disapointed (if you do not spend money to impress Her when you are wooing Her - what a cheap life She'll get when you get married?) - just take the date preparations seriously.
Unique Suggestions: If you really want to take you chance to conquer your Russian Princess' heart this season, please, take to your consideration the following facts:
1) Marriage agencies are loosing their popularity among Russian women now-a-days. Try to use free dating sites for acquaintance with Her.
2) Model-like smashing-looking Russian ladies (on the photos) is 90% a scam from the marriage agencies' part or a scam from Her part (if this is Her real photo).
3) Do not be "economic" at your first date. A beautiful bunch of flowers followed by a nice, expensive restaurant dinner - is what 90% of normal Russian men will do now at the first date to impress the lady. She is sure to expect not less from a foreigner if not more.
4) Be smart. Do not get trapped into "I have a big problem" situation. (F. eg. She will meet you again but She is very sick and needs $5000 for hospital treatment )
5) Be careful. Do not boast that you are a millionair, moreover if you really are.
6) Get acquainted with her family the sooner the better. By watching the relationship in her family (parents, sisters, brothers) you'll get the complete pictures of what background she got and what views on life she has. If she finds a lot of reasons why you can not meet her parents - this is the fist signal that something is wrong . (Russian people always introduce the One with whom they are in Love to their parents if the feelings are sinsere.)
7) And, anyway, remember one thing: Russia has changed in the Capitalist direction. And the rules of the game here are becoming the same as you would have if you travelled to America or Europe.... if not more strickt.
Fun Alternatives: What Alternative can be found?
If you are sincerely looking for your Second Half at any expense and just want to find the Love - struggle for it and consider your Russian Bride to be just a woman of the Universe. Forget that Russia was a "marketplace" for cheap beautiful and faithful single ladies long ago. In this country everything has the price and everybody knows His/Her value. To say briefly - welcome to Capitalist Russia!
I hope that this tip canbe of any help. I personally worked as theExecutive Manager in a marriage agency and had a bunch of deceived expectations from Gentlemen's part inmy memory because of the incorrect understanding of the recent changes in Russian life.Related to:

There was local transport just a couple of minutes walk from the hotel so we didn't need to use taxis. All in all very pleased and can recommend to anyone who is looking for value for money.

I have a 2001 Olds Bravada. & Have been having issues with it since 2010. If I had to do it over I would say forget this SUV and have gotten a car. I've replaced wheelbearings, rear ends, fuel pumps, radiator, engine, oil changes, tires& now when you press the gas it will not accelerate. I am so fed up!!!

acceleration issues
Driveability Problems Due to Internal Distributor Fault
The distributor may develop internal faults. This can cause a rough running engine or stalling condition, the Check Engine Light may or may not illuminate. Our technicians tell us that the distributor should be overhauled or replaced to correct this concern.
Check Engine Light Due to Gas Cap Issue
A Loose or worn gas cap may cause Check Engine Light to illuminate.
Intake Manifold Gasket May Leak Coolant or Engine Oil
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Running the engine with a coolant/oil mix may result in engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct this issue.
Loss of One or More HVAC Blower Motor Speeds
Power Window Motor May Fail
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
CD Player in Radio May Fail
The CD player in the radio may fail. Our technicians tell us that the radio will need to be removed and sent out to a radio repair shop to correct this condition.
Coolant Leak From Heater Core
The heater core under the right side of the dashboard may leak engine coolant which can puddle on the passenger front floor. The loss of coolant may cause an engine overheating condition. Our technicians tell us that removal of the dash board is necessary to replace the heater on these vehicles.
Erratic Fuel Gauge Operation
The fuel level sensor in the fuel tank may fail causing erratic fuel gauge operation. Our technicians tell us that on high mileage vehicles you may wish to replace the complete fuel pump module assembly if this condition occurs.
The Fuel Pump May Fail Causing the Engine to Stall or Crank Over But Not Start
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.

Through an acquisition of Strategic Data Corporation, FIM will target ads using MySpace profile data and user content; FIM also aims to double its sales staff.
Through its just-completed acquisition of ad tech firm Strategic Data Corporation, Fox Interactive Media (FIM) is finally putting to use the mounds of MySpace data it gleans from user profiles, blog posts and bulletins. Till now, the News Corp division has done little to capitalize on the information that, when paired with SDC's ad optimization technology, will allow for highly-refined audience segmentation and contextual micro-targeting. FIM is also ramping up its sales team, anticipating its new targeting capabilities will translate into premium ad dollars, which might put it in more direct competition with the likes of Yahoo, AOL and MSN.
"I don't think we would have done this acquisition if we didn't have MySpace," FIM Chief Revenue Officer Michael Barrett told ClickZ News.
"Given the mountain of data we had on our members, specifically at MySpace, we really needed a customized ad solution to bring this to market," he said. After inspecting a "ton" of potential acquisition candidates to handle the ad management back end for a portion of the display ads on its sites, the online media outfit chose SDC, which offers a display ad serving and optimization platform. FIM will use the system to manage ads targeted to all sites in its network, excluding FoxSports.com, which partners with MSN. FIM properties include IGN Entertainment, Rotten Tomatoes and Fox.com.
"The driving reason to do it is to make more money selling ads," said Barrett.
Though SDC's technology will be deployed initially to serve cost-per-click and cost-per-action ads, Barrett expects to put it to use for managing higher-value CPM campaigns down the road. About 60 percent of ads running on FIM's sites are performance-based; yet, despite that, about 70 percent of the firm's ad revenue is derived from CPM-based display advertising, indicating the higher value advertisers place on impression-based premium placements.
FIM aims to boost the price of inventory currently sold at lower rates through third party networks, employing the SDC system to micro-target ads using MySpace user profile and registration data along with demographic data and information from user-created content. "Over time we'd like to move those people up the funnel," noted Barrett.
The newly-obtained technology will enable FIM to create lifestyle audience segments and ad packages for performance- and CPM-based ad campaigns. The company has not yet employed user profile information to target display ads, but it has used the data to better target Google sponsored text ads, according to FIM spokesperson Ann Burkart.
Another part of the ad revenue-building strategy, said Barrett, is an effort to grow the FIM sales staff. Over the past six months the firm has been hiring sales people, and plans to double the current team of about 10 to 15 people. "We plan to get more aggressive in courting these advertisers," Barrett continued.
Selling more premium ads direct to brand advertisers could position FIM, especially with its MySpace traffic-driving powerhouse, as more of a threat to portals like Yahoo, AOL and MSN, which tend to attract brand advertisers. FIM could also gain by enabling cross-network buys. Although the firm has run almost no cross-network ads, a campaign for "X-Men: The Last Stand" was served on both IGN and MySpace last year, said Burkart. "We're working to enhance our ability to sell across the whole network," she added.
FIM expects to integrate SDC's technology with its own within 60 to 90 days, and the small firm's fourteen employees will eventually move to FIM's Beverly Hills headquarters. According to Burkart, FIM will continue to serve SDC's current clients, including ad networks EuroClick and Specific Media. FIM will also continue to work with other third party ad serving partners including DoubleClick.

The role of geographical labelling in inserting extensive cattle systems into beef marketing channels. Evidence from three Spanish case studies
The beef cattle sector is adapting to increasing demand-side requirements. Customers are looking for a differentiated product of constant quality in a market that is beginning to be dominated by major distribution companies. In this background, mechanisms to differentiate production are being implemented to co-ordinate both production and marketing processes and integrate livestock farmers into the commercial system. Extensive cattle systems carry an important weight in Spain because of their social and environmental values. However, their structure and level of profitability are obstacles to their adaptation to new market trends. This situation calls for instruments that are able to bring the farmer into this adaptation process and to add value to and differentiate products. These instruments can be promoted by institutions or by the private sector through quality labels based on the product's geographical origin. This paper aims to characterise the process of adaptation of Spanish extensive cattle systems through three case studies representing three kinds of extensive farming system located in the country's northern, central and southern mountain ranges. A logit model based on a survey of farmers was developed to identify which variables have a greater influence on the decision to participate in quality labels based on geographical origin. The study concludes that the three mechanisms, which are based on a brand linked to their geographical origin, present important differences. Some factors as the institutional or regional context explains these differences and determine the degree of acceptance of each one of these mechanisms between the livestock farmers.

Seems like Hornady recently came out with a Lever Revolution round for 30-30
looks like a nosler-type expanding bullet
anyone else?
Winchester Powermax is the hardest hitting round for deer sized game. I've massacred many deer and hogs with them. Leverevolution is better suited for Elk. They work well on deer but the hit ain't as good as P-Max.
I dont know how to post pictures but have shot a few mule deer and one elk with a 30-30. I dont have enough experence shooting deer or elk with a 30-30, however I have shot alot of elk and deer so have some knowledge of what bullet it takes. For elk I would use nothing except the Federal 170 grain Nosler Partitions.
Any cup and core 150/170gr 30/30 blunt nose round is a good round for the 30/30. The rifle was the first one to use smokless powder and has been around for over 100 years. Will kill game out to 150 yards if you do your part.
You do not need a fancy premium bullet in the thurty thruty, for the most part you would be wasting your money. The start out MV is only around 2100fps anyway. Try some regular old Winchester commercial 30/30 of 150gr you will be good to go for sure for them little deer down in the lower 48.
Has been the best for me since 1980 when I bagged my first 6 point muley on
opening day october 10th of that year and was my first kill! The past two
seasons though I passed on purchasing a deer tag as I had too much deer
meat in the freezer & I have been feeding/making my own dog food with the
tougher/freezer burnt cuts for our familys beagles! (Boy, do they love wild
meat)! It,s a likely bet that Pop & I have the most spoiled beagles in our area!
My last one lived nearly 16.5 years & was a strong chewer as he "outlived"
his teeth because they were "worn down to the gumline" before he died!
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.

Results tagged ' Matt Williams '
Williams, Lobaton saddened by Zimmer's passing
By Bill Ladson
WASHINGTON – Nationals manager Matt Williams and catcher Jose Lobaton were saddened by the death of Rays senior advisor Don Zimmer, who passed away Wednesday. Zimmer was in the game for 65 years, with roles that included being a player, coach and manager.
Zimmer is best remembered for being the bench coach of those Yankees teams that won four World Series titles in five years from 1996 to 2000.
Zimmer was a coach with the Giants when Williams made his Major League debut with them in 1987. The last time Williams saw Zimmer was last year.
"It's a sad day for everybody that knows Don and his family," Williams said. "He taught me a lot about baseball, and he's taught a lot of people about baseball. Fantastic ambassador, great coach, manager, and we all mourn the loss of him. … Great memories, provided many, many baseball players and fans and organizations with great memories."
Lobaton met Zimmer a year after the Rays selected him off waivers from the Padres in 2009. During Spring Training, Zimmer gave Lobaton words of encouragement, telling him he would be in the big leagues one day. Lobaton reached the Majors by 2011.
"I'm really sad because I [know] him — great person," Lobaton said. "We talked a lot. He was one of the guys who would tell me all the time to be patient in baseball. [He would say,] 'You know what's going to happen. You are going down. Keep working.' He would talk to me all the time. … I know all the baseball players know him and everybody is going to be praying for him."
Williams impressed with Espinosa
By Bill Ladson
WASHINGTON — The Nationals collected 15 hits in a 9-2 victory over the Rangers, but Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa went 0-for -3 in the contest. But talk to manager Matt Williams, and Espinosa had impressive at-bats.
In the third inning, Espinosa hit the ball hard, but grounded out to second base. After he was walked intentionally an inning later, Espinosa flied out to center field in the sixth before grounding out to third baseman Adrian Beltre in the eighth.
"Although he didn't get any hits tonight, he saw the ball really good tonight. He was right on everything. That's a good sign, too," Williams said. "He has been making some adjustments and he is working extremely hard the last three days to make those adjustments. I think the fruits of that labor showed up a little bit."
Espinosa acknowledged that he is trying to shorten his swing from the left side of the plate. Espinosa hasn't had a hit since May 20th. But Espinosa felt comfortable in the batter's box Friday.
"I always try to shorten my swing as much as I could," Espinosa said. "When you close your front side, your swing gets longer, you are fighting with your body, but it felt good today."
Nats' Ramos gets five-ball walk
By Bill Ladson
In the sixth inning of Friday's 9-2 victory, Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos reached base on a five-ball walk. The rules state that a player can reach base on a four-ball walk. It seems almost everyone lost track of the count, except Ramos.
According to Ramos, when the count reached 3-2, Rangers catcher Chris Gimenez asked home plate umpire Scott Barry what the count was and Barry replied, "2-2." Ramos thought for sure the count was 3-2 and Barry repeated the count as 2-2. Even the Nationals' scoreboard said the count was 3-2. Barry then put his hands up and reiterated that the count was 2-2. Barry was not available for comment.
"In my mind, I was thinking it was 3-2," Ramos said. "That's OK. I received the walk any way."
Even Nationals manager Matt Williams thought Ramos had walked a pitch earlier, but didn't argue the count with Barry.
"You always say, 'Were we right on the count,' so we looked at each other and went, 'Huh, I thought that was ball four.' We have a lot going on over there, talking a lot about different situations, so we missed that one."
During Ramos' first at-bat in Saturday's game, will the umpires make up for Friday and give Ramos a three-ball walk?
"I don't think they are going to give that one to us," Williams said. "I'll ask him when I go up there [Saturday]. We'll see."
Extra Nats Notes from Pittsburgh
By Bill Ladson
* Nationals left-hander Ross Detwiler has been having a hard time on the mound lately. In his last eight games, Detwiler has allowed 13 runs in 10 innings. His last appearance was in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Pirates. He entered the game in the eighth inning, allowing blooped double to Chris Stewart, which should have been caught, and an RBI single to Josh Harrison.
Nationals manager Matt Williams thought Detwiler had a better outing Thursday than he did in previous appearances.
"The double that hung up there a little while, it was placed perfectly. And then [there was] a ball hit off the end of the bat [for a single]," Williams said. "The results don't say it. [Detwiler] worked quicker and he had good tempo tonight. But I think, overall, he pitched better tonight than he did in his last couple of outings."
* Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche went 0-for-2 in his first rehab game for Class A Potomac on Thursday. He is expected to play another rehab game for Double A Harrisburg on Friday. LaRoche is currently on the 15-day disabled list because of a right quad strain. He could be back with the Major League club on Sunday against the Pirates or Monday against the Marlins.
* The Nationals have been having a tough time scoring runs, so one would think that manager Matt Williams would be aggressive on the bases on Thursday against the Pirates. In the seventh inning, after Nate McLouth reached base on a bunt single, Kevin Frandsen came to the plate. One would have thought that McLouth would have tried to steal second base. But McLouth stayed on first and Frandsen hit into a double play.
"[McLouth] has the green light," Williams said. "Franny got to 1-1. If we get to a [ceratin] count, I could certainly put it on. [McLouth] has the green light [to steal] if he feels it. But we got a double play out of it."
* Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen is 46-for-116 [.397] with 13 home runs and 28 RBIs during his career against the Nationals . On Thursday, he drove in two of the three runs in a 3-1 victory over the Nationals.
In the third inning, McCutchen came to the plate and was hit by a pitch, scoring right-hander Edinson Volquez to make it a 1-0 game. Two innings later, Pirates retook the lead as McCutchen singled to center field, scoring Harrison.
In the ninth against closer Mark Melancon, the Nats put runners on first and second with two outs, but Anthony Rendon lined out to McCutchen, who made a sliding catch to end the game.
"[McCutchen] is the MVP for a lot of reasons," Williams said. "He is a good player, a really good player. I don't think he is going to go after that ball if he feels like he didn't have a chance to catch it. It was a good play."
A big day for Denard Span
By Andrew Simon
WASHINGTON — A few hours after Nationals manager Matt Williams said he would stick with the scuffling Denard Span as his leadoff hitter, Span rewarded that faith with one of the best games of his career on Tuesday.
Span went 5-for-5 with two doubles, two RBIs, a stolen base and two runs scored in a 9-4 win over the Reds. In the process, he lifted his batting average from .239 to .263 and his on-base percentage from .287 to .308.
It was the sixth five-hit game in Nationals history (since 2005) and first since Ian Desmond on Sept. 15, 2011. It also was the seventh five-hit game in the Major Leagues this season and the third of Span's career — but first since 2009, his first full big league season.
"Those are special," Williams said of the performance. "Those don't happen very often, so good for him."
And good for the Nats, who improved to 13-5 this season when Span reaches base safely at least twice. But that hasn't happened often enough for Washington, which entered Tuesday last in the Majors in on-base percentage from the leadoff spot, with Span occupying that position in 35 of 44 games.
It's Span's second straight season getting off to a slow start. Last year, he hit .258 with a .310 on-base percentage through Aug. 16 before hitting .338 with a .375 OBP the rest of the year to finish within striking distance of his career numbers.
Tuesday showed Span's full arsenal of offensive skills when he's clicking. He opened the bottom of the first inning by taking Johnny Cueto the other way for a single on a rare first-pitch swing. In the third, he dropped a bunt toward third base, with his speed helping force a bad throw that scored a run and put Span at third. In the sixth, he singled and stole a base in his first at-bat and ripped a two-run double in his second — the latter hit off lefty Sean Marshall (Span came in hitting .190 against southpaws). Finally, in the eighth, he enjoyed a bit of luck that he might have been due for, hitting a blooper to shallow center field that eluded the Reds' defense for a double.
Despite all of that, Span said he was already trying to put the game behind him.
"It was just one day. Had a good day. Today was my day," Span said. "Saw the ball good, and I've got to do it again tomorrow. That's what it's all about. Whether I go 0-for-5 or 5-for-5, my mindset the next day is yesterday is yesterday and I've got to do it again."

Gio trying to 'grind through' recent problems
By Andrew Simon
WASHINGTON — After enduring his second straight short and ineffective start on Saturday, Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez didn't directly answer questions regarding his health. Gonzalez had some trouble with shoulder tightness earlier in the season and was asked how he felt after giving up five runs in three innings to the Mets.
"It's one of those things you've just got to grind through," Gonzalez said. "I'm just trying to find out what it is, and hopefully something positive comes out of it."
Asked again if he was dealing with anything health-wise, Gonzalez added, "Realistically, arm was dropping a lot. I guess we'll see."
The 28-year-old, who has made at least 32 starts in four straight seasons, came out of his April 23 start against the Angels after five innings due to shoulder tightness. He's stayed on schedule since then, pitching four more times.
Over his last two outings, Gonzalez has allowed 12 earned runs on 16 hits over 7 1/3 innings, walking five and striking out eight. He's thrown more than 23 pitches per inning and seen his ERA rise from 2.91 to 4.62.
Gonzalez said his arm slot has been off, with his pitches getting up in the strike zone. Manager Matt Williams has noticed that Gonzalez hasn't been able to find consistency with his release point like he usually does as a game goes along.
However, Williams said he couldn't attribute the issues to an injury, as Gonzalez hasn't lost velocity. On Sunday, he threw his fastball at 90-94 mph.
"He's had a little tight shoulder earlier this year but he's continued to pitch and tells us he feels good, so I don't know," Williams said. "I don't see that."

Nats trying to make Ross Detwiler fit in 'pen
By Andrew Simon
WASHINGTON — When the Nationals converted Ross Detwiler into a relief pitcher near the end of Spring Training, they didn't intend to relegate him to mop-up duty.
"He provides something special out of the bullpen," manager Matt Williams said at the time.
"He is going to be a major part of that out of our bullpen."
More than a month into the season, it hasn't turned out that way for the left-hander. Jerry Blevins is the 'pen's primary lefty, Craig Stammen is the primary long reliever, and Tyler Clippard and Drew Storen set up closer Rafael Soriano. Detwiler's job has not been so well defined.
But Friday might have brought a positive step. Leading 5-2, the Nats called upon Detwiler to pitch the sixth inning against three left-handed batters. He retired Curtis Granderson, gave up a single to Bobby Abreu, then induced a double-play grounder from Lucas Duda.
"We keep wanting that spot for him," Williams said on Saturday.
"We've told him that we want to get him more opportunities. It hasn't worked that way through the first 41 games, but I'd imagine that at some point during this season, it'll work better that way. So it's encouraging, yeah."
At three runs, it was the smallest lead Detwiler has pitched with this season, as most of his appearances have come with the game pretty much decided one way or another.
Baseball-Reference.com calculates a statistic called "leverage index," a measurement of the pressure a player faces during a game, depending on the score and situation. A number greater than 1.0 indicates above-average pressure, while a number less than 1.0 indicates below-average pressure. Detwiler's season average of 0.47 is the ninth-lowest among all MLB pitchers with at least 10 appearances this season. His 0.87 score on Friday was his fourth-highest of the year.
"That's the situation we want to put him in," Williams said. "It doesn't work out every day, but yeah. We want to do that. We've had the meeting with him and talked to him about it. I've personally talked to him about I want to get you more of those opportunities and I'll do my best to get you in those situations, and last night was one of them. Maybe there's another opportunity today."
As Williams pointed out, one obstacle is that as a converted starter, it still takes Detwiler longer to warm up in the bullpen than the team's other relievers. Therefore, in a quick-developing situation at a key point in the game, he might not be able to get loose fast enough to get an opportunity.
Detwiler also probably hasn't pitched well enough to demand a greater role. He has a solid 3.79 ERA in 19 innings but has allowed 22 hits, a .297 opponents' average and nearly as many walks (11) as strikeouts (12).
Then again, if Detwiler finds a solid role and more consistent chances along with it, his performance could benefit.
"The issue is we want to give him more work so his mechanics are good and he feels good about throwing strikes," Williams said. "It's like a guy who plays off the bench — the more at-bats he gets, the better timing he gets. It's the same with pitching."

Nationals notes, 5/16
By Andrew Simon
WASHINGTON — Here are some quick Nationals notes before the start of a three-game series against the Mets on Friday night. More to come soon on Nationals.com.
- Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, on the disabled list since April 13 with a right thumb fracture, still has not been cleared to begin strengthening the thumb, according to manager Matt Williams. He will have another X-ray taken Monday, at the five-week mark since the injury. If doctors believe the fracture has healed, Zimmerman then will be cleared to work on regaining strength, at which point he could progress to throwing a ball and swinging a bat. However, Williams said there is no specific timetable for his return. The Nats will continue to proceed with caution, because if Zimmerman were to re-fracture the thumb, it would be another eight-week recovery from that point.
- Left fielder Bryce Harper has had the stitches removed from his left thumb, which is now in a brace following surgery on a torn ligament. Williams said that Harper is scheduled to make another visit to Cleveland to visit a specialist next week.
- Right-hander Ross Ohlendorf, on the 60-day DL all season with a lumbar strain, was in the Nats' clubhouse on Friday, two days after making his first Minor League rehab start, for Class A Advanced Potomac. Ohlendorf was shelled for seven runs in 2 1/3 innings, but Williams said he was able to hit 90-94 mph with his fastball and had no physical issues. Ohlendorf will continue making rehab starts every five days, as the Nats want him to prepare as a starter.
- With first baseman Adam LaRoche on the disabled list, Williams said Greg Dobbs could see some starts at first base after joining the club on Friday. Dobbs got 13 pinch-hit appearances but never played the field for the Marlins before his release, and after signing with the Nats, he spent a few days at extended Spring Training in Viera, Fla., getting his legs under him and collecting at-bats. Dobbs said he was happy to end up in Washington, as he had wanted to sign with the club as a free agent before the 2012 season, believing it was ready to win.
Steven Souza Jr. returns to Nationals
By Andrew Simon
WASHINGTON — Before Triple-A Syracuse played at Indianapolis on Saturday, Steven Souza Jr. was informed he wouldn't be in the lineup. Instead, he would be heading back to Washington.
The Nationals officially recalled Souza for his second big league stint on Sunday morning, when they placed Bryce Harper on the 15-day disabled list with a left thumb sprain. Souza was in the Washington clubhouse prior to Sunday afternoon's game against the Padres.
The 25-year-old outfielder said he feels a little more more at ease this time after his first trip to the Majors, from April 12-18, while Denard Span was on the 7-day disabled list.
"It's kind of those first-day jitters where you don't even know anything. You don't know to put butter on your toast or what," Souza said. "[Now] it's more of how are we going to win this game, how can I help this team win, how can I be a part of this and kind of focus on that."
Ranked by MLB.com as the Nats' No. 14 prospect, Souza made his Major League debut on April 13 at Atlanta and picked up his first career hit on April 15 in Miami, a single to center field off Marlins lefty Dan Jennings. In all, he played five games and went 1-for-4 with a walk before being optioned back to Syracuse.
Even with Harper out, Souza might not see the field much more this time around. Manager Matt Williams indicated that Nate McLouth will see most of the starts in left field against right-handed pitchers, with Kevin Frandsen and Tyler Moore serving as options against lefties.
The brief demotion to Syracuse did give Souza a chance to log some much-needed swings. In four games there, he went 5-for-11 with a double and three RBI. For the season, Souza is hitting .333/.463/.545 with two homers and 10 RBI in 41 Triple-A plate appearances.
"Those ABs were huge, just to get in the rhythm of playing every day and getting some consistent ABs," Souza said.

Tanner Roark's amazing run continues
By Andrew Simon
WASHINGTON — Tanner Roark was a 25th-round Draft choice who bounced between starting and relieving while posting a 4.21 ERA in his first five Minor League seasons. He entered 2013 at 26 years old and as nobody's idea of a hot prospect.
Yet somehow, Roark's big league performance over the past two years has surpassed anything he ever did in the Minors. Sunday afternoon brought the most striking example, as the right-hander dominated the Padres during a three-hit shutout that stood as a perfect game through 5 1/3 innings. That dropped his career ERA to 1.98 through 86 1/3 innings.
A look at Roark by the numbers:
- 8: Roark's career-high strikeout total Saturday, including four in the span of five batters at one point.
- 8 1/3: The most innings Roark had thrown in a professional game at any level before Saturday.
- 105: Roark's pitch count, the second-lowest by any pitcher in a shutout this season.
- 14-to-3: Roark's ratio of groundouts to flyouts. Entering Saturday, he had more flyouts this year.
- 23: Batters out of 31 that saw a first-pitch strike from Roark.
- 1: Earned runs allowed by Roark in 35 career innings at Nats Park, a 0.26 ERA.
- 7: Number of career starts, out of 10, in which Roark has allowed two runs or fewer.
- .189: Batting average of right-handed hitters against Roark in his career, with no home runs.
- 3: Roark's career high in walks. He had one on Saturday, throwing 69.5% strikes.
The soft-spoken native of Wilmington, Ill., isn't one to spend too many words examining his own success. Asked after Saturday's game if knew why his Major League performance has eclipsed his Minor League performance, he smiled and said, "You got me."
Roark and manager Matt Williams both talked about the importance of Roark's changeup on Saturday, especially against left-handed batters, who went 0-for-17 with one walk and six strikeouts against him. Roark called it his best pitch of the day, over his fastball, slider and curve.
"He's aggressive," Williams said. "He threw a lot of really good changeups today for strikes and that's one of his weapons. He keeps lefties off balance with that. Comeback fastball into the lefties as well."
That comeback, or two-seam, fastball is important as well. Roark said he's talked with Livan Hernandez about the way Greg Maddux used to use that pitch to tail back over the inside corner against left-handed batters.
"You see guys jumping out the way because they think it's going to hit them and it goes right across the plate," Roark said. "It's a very effective pitch. The biggest thing for me is I've got to stay on the pitch as long as I possibly can and not come out of it."
How long Roark can stay on his current run of big league success remains to be seen — some regression is inevitable. But at the least, he seems to have solidified his place in a rotation spot he didn't lock up until Doug Fister went on the disabled list at the end of Spring Training.
"When he takes the mound, it feels like he's under control to all of us," Williams said. "There's definitely a trust factor there."

I expected this clock to be at least triple the size that it actually is. It's also clearly made out of plastic, though the display pictures make it look much more like wood. I'm a little scared my husband won't enjoy this part of his Christmas present because it is so dinky...3
As I have a multitude of mobile devices I had used a wood charging station on my nightstand. However, newer models didn't fit, so I decided on replacing the large charging mount with a small, space conscious alarm clock. I've seen these around in various hotels and friends' homes and loved the simplicity of it. The time displays when it detects noise or motion, then fades out. I normally use my mobile for my alarm (I travel often), but at home I found this to be quicker and easier.4
I was looking to find a fun quirky gift and it seems as though the battery died very quickly. you also had to really clap near it, maybe 1-2 feet. So, it has joined the pile of unused items in our house. Disappointed as I had hoped it would have been a sleek addition to my son's new teenage room.2
This little guy is extremely cool. the time is clearly displayed in this classy, sleek box. There is no change on the outside of it where the number show up, look s as though they just magically appear on the surface. You can put it right by your bed, because the numbers disappear after 8 seconds. So no light in your face all night. But wake up in the middle of the night, all you have to do is snap your fingers, clap, tap your table and the time pops back up. Such a great piece. Only down side is that it is really tiny. Check the measurements before purchasing if you expect it to be large.5

»VIP Lounge
The ultimate neighborhood bar, the VIP is the "Cheers" of Omaha. The bartenders know most everyone by name, but this should not keep a new face from joining the crowd. Stiff drinks, several televisions, pickle card gambling and the grooviest jukebox in town keep everyone coming back. Grab a seat at the bar, or choose a table next to the tiny dance floor. Friendly, attentive service, reasonable prices and a very generous pour are just a few more reasons to check out this local favorite.
»The Hideout Lounge
The Hideout Lounge at 72nd Street is a great bar with entertainment options like live music, DJ's, karaoke to leave you having a great time. Drinks are priced very reasonably and it's a smoking bar so stock up on the cigarettes. Styles of music played here are diverse such as metal, funk, reggae, electro to name a few.

Mainly consisting of rock music, many touring acts play here, and the crowd enjoys the music along with chilled beer. This is a great place to spend some time with friends, have some drinks and enjoy some live tunes.
»Brazen Head Irish Pub
Everyone is Irish at this festive pub. Wood paneling and big, sturdy tables and booths make this the place to pull up a chair and hang out with your friends. Beers and whiskeys from Ireland are the favorite here; there is even a separate whiskey menu. The food is better than average with beer battered Galloway Bay Fish and Chips, the Pub Classic Sandwich, Jameson Whiskey Steak and Lemon Pepper Salmon. Live Irish music adds to the fun.
»Chrome Lounge
One look at the Chrome Lounge tells you that it's extremely popular among car and bike enthusiasts. The logo itself is an impressive bike surrounded by flames. In keeping with their patrons' passions, the lounge has Bike Nights on Wednesdays and the Thursday Night Car Show every week. Their Happy Hours from 3p-7p are very popular, but the crowd sticks around even after that, much late into the night. They have bands jamming on Thursdays and live shows on weekends, which are enjoyed greatly by patrons. They are many other options for entertainment too, such as pool tables, dart boards, televisions, etc. The beer garden is the most popular part of the lounge, where everyone loves to hang out and enjoy some fresh air. Here you can also host parties and functions of any kind with the help of the lounge staff.
»The Lift Lounge
The new Lift Lounge has taken over the former Murphy's Lounge on 96th Street, housing the area's only video jukebox as well as 12 high-def 50" flat screen TV's to watch the latest sports events.

The bar has a huge beer selection from around the country on tap, as well as specials - order the house special and get a Tecate and a shot of Old Overholt rye whiskey. The crowd here tends to be young and trendy, probably owing to the fact that the bar is co-owned by local son and famous musician Conor Oberst. Monday nights feature live music.
»Dundee Dell
This long-standing Omaha favorite recently moved to new digs in the heart of Dundee. Established in 1933, the only thing new about the "new" Dell is the atmosphere, which has gone from haphazard to hip. Gratefully, the food remains the same, including the signature two piece fish and chips that made the Dell famous. Other menu favorites include the Reuben Sandwich and the Big Easy Sandwich. There are more than 500 different brands of single malt scotches on hand to tempt the serious sipper. With nearly 1200 types of liquor, over 150 beers, and 80 wines you won't be disappointed.

College and university students in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) have launched a survey to gather feedback about the accessibility and affordability of public transit in the region. To date, almost 5,000 surveys have been collected from students."Fare hikes, route changes, cuts and spending priorities for new transit services impact the daily lives of students in the GTA," said Alastair Woods, chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario. "We need a public transit system that ensures that students can afford to travel to school, are not stranded after late night work shifts, and can fully participate in student life."The survey asks about the routes and services students use; when students use transit the most; whether they use or would use services such as request stop programs or discounts for college and university students; and whether issues with public transit had caused them to miss a class, drop a course, not attend a social or sporting event or be late for or miss a shift at work."While public transit has been a hot topic for municipal and provincial politicians, the needs of students have largely been ignored," said Woods. "Students are ready for action on improving transit in the GTA and this survey will provide important research to ensure transit policy recognizes student priorities."In addition to the survey, students are organizing a series of campus town halls to raise awareness about public transit, including one hosted by the Scarborough Campus Students' Union with Toronto City Councillor Paul Ainslie.The survey is available here.The Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario represents more than 300,000 college, undergraduate and graduate students in all regions of the province, including students at George Brown College, OCAD, Ryerson University, York University and the St. George, Mississauga, and Scarborough campuses of the University of Toronto.
Students at the university's "Startup Shell," a collaborative space and technology incubator, may compete in business competitions for potential investor grants from Uber. The partnership will also include mentoring opportunities and the creation of an "innovation council," which will include students, faculty and staff, for crowdsourcing and development.
Matt Carpenter has more than 15 years of experience in the transit industry, including the past eight as CEO of Strathcona County Transit in the Edmonton area. He has a master's degree in urban planning from the University of Michigan, where he studied from 2001 to 2003.
Executive Order 8 addresses Illinois' fiscal crisis by recommending that state agencies require employees, whenever possible, to take public transportation or carpool when traveling. The state hopes this action will reduce travel reimbursements in gas money.
The university recently issued an RFQ and is evaluating potential locations. Four of its new buses are powered by CNG, and the school says it sees a benefit to converting more of its vehicles to alternative fuels.
In his new role, Jerry Rineer works with Villanova students who have mobility issues, providing support for them as they make their way across the 254-acre campus. The private university, which has a total enrollment of about 10,700, has a large fleet of vans and other vehicles to serve its students.

Most ISPs now have fairly sophisticated spam filters in place, filtering by words and known spam origins.
Many ISPs have now outsourced email management to Google, who have superb spam filtering, I almost never get spam in my inbox, and equally almost never have to move a genuine email out of the junk mail folder, which catches on average 70 messages a day, these are deleted after 7 days.
Well I say deleted, I'm not sure they go after leaving the junk mail folder, but they're not actually deleted. I once opened my junk folder to find a couple of hundred thousand emails in there, dating back 5 years. It seems the google servers had a bit of a fit and redelivered every single spam email...
