Arizona Diamondbacks 2015 News and Updates
4/27/15 - Hovering just above the defending world champions in the National League West standings, the Arizona Diamondbacks are looking to jump start an offense that ranks among the bottom-third of the big leagues. After splitting a two-game series with the Texas Rangers last week, Arizona dropped three straight versus Pittsburgh to fall two games below .500 on the season. The D-Backs nearly rallied from a four-run deficit against the Rockies on Monday evening, but couldn't convert with runners at the corners in the ninth to complete the comeback. Arizona continues a three-game set with Colorado this week, concluding at Chase Field in Phoenix on Wednesday evening before they move on to Los Angeles for a series versus the Dodgers. Tickets are available for Rockies vs. Diamondbacks starting at just $5 each!
4/20/15 - The Diamondbacks won three out of the four games in their recent series against the Giants. The teams' first matchup was a back and forth game, but the Diamondbacks were able to come away the victors, thanks to a 12th inning double by Aaron Hill that brought in two runs and broke the tie. The next day, the Diamondbacks dominated, beating the Giants 9-0. The Giants were able to defeat the Diamondbacks in the third match up, but the Diamondbacks came back to win 5-1 in the fourth game. Jeremy Hellickson finally got a win after having 11 winless starts. After losing against the Rangers on the 21st, the Diamondbacks face them one more time on the 22nd before hosting the Pirates for three games. Tickets remain available, with prices starting at $5.

4/15/15 - After winning their 3 game series against the Rangers 2-1, the Arizona Diamondbacks have won one and lost one against the Padres, with one game left in this three game series. The teams first met on April 13, where the Padres won 8-4. Ender Inciarte knocked in four runs to help the Diamondbacks secure the victory over the Padres. Rubby De La Rosa was on the mound for the Diamondbacks, allowing three runs in his six innings of play. The next day, the teams met once again, with the Padres winning 1-5. Arizona's sole run came from a RBI by Mark Trumbo. They meet once again on April 15, before Arizona heads to San Francisco to meet with the Giants. Tickets are still available, with prices starting at $7.
4/10/15 - The Arizona Diamondbacks opened their season with a series of games against the San Francisco Giants. Out of the three games played, the D-backs were able to take home one win. Their home opener game on April 6 ended in a 4-5 loss for the Diamondbacks. Both teams scored in the third inning, but it was the fifth inning that set the Giants apart from Arizona. The Giants were able to bring in four runs against Josh Collmenter, the Diamondbacks pitcher. Even though the D-backs pulled off three runs in the ninth inning, it just wasn't enough to add another win to their record. See how they do when they face off against the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 10 at the Chase Field. Tickets are still available starting at $9.
3/26/15 - Both the fans and the team members of the Arizona Diamondbacks are ready to start regular season play. The Diamondbacks are working hard and getting into the teamwork groove right now at spring training. On March 26, 2015 the Diamondbacks hit the field to compete against the San Diego Padres. The starting pitcher for the Padres, Brandon Morrow, was benched due to a blister on his hand and was replaced by backup pitcher Ordisamer Despaigne. It was looking as if the Padres would walk away with the win, leading the game 3-1 to start the eighth inning. However, Brett Wallace slammed one home during the bottom of the eighth bringing in two runs for the Diamondbacks that tied the game. Watch them play against the Kansas City Royals on March 29. Tickets start at $15.
3/18/15 - With just over two weeks remaining until MLB's Opening Day, the Arizona Diamondbacks are looking like a team set on turning the page after their last-place finish in the 2014 season, currently ranked third in the Cactus League with a record of 10-6. They picked up another spring training win on Wednesday, 6-2 over the Colorado Rockies. After missing over two seasons due to a pair of reconstructive elbow surgeries and returning last year as a reliever, RHP Daniel Hudson pitched two innings for a third time this month, as he continues his quest to return to the starting rotation. Arizona will take on the Rockies once again on Sunday afternoon, and you can pick up seats for Salt River Fields in Scottsdale for as low as $22!
3/9/15 - In the National League, the Arizona Diamondbacks lead the teams with a 5-1 record. They're behind the Kansas City Royals (6-0) in the Cactus League. In Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox, the Diamondbacks tied at 3-3. Arizona led the game at 2-0 until Chicago tied it up in the bottom of the seventh. Arizona's upcoming games on their home turf during spring training feature the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday (3/12). Two days later, on Saturday, they host the Seattle Mariners in the afternoon. In an evening game, it's the San Francisco Giants. Monday (3/16) brings the Chicago White Sox to Salt River Fields in Scottsdale. Tickets start at $21 for these games. Get your tickets now to see your Diamondbacks play some great baseball.
3/2/15 - When you're watching the Arizona Diamondbacks in spring training games this week, you'll see a black patch with the word "Kayla" on it. They are honoring the memory of Kayla Mueller, a young woman from Arizona who died in Syrian captivity. As the Cactus League opens on Thursday, you'll have plenty of opportunities to come out and see how the D-Backs are shaping up. On Friday (3/6), they face the Oakland Athletics. The San Francisco Giants are next on Sunday (3/8). On Wednesday (3/11), the Los Angeles Angels join the D-Backs on Salt River Fields. Tickets for any of these games start at $19. If you're in the Scottsdale, Arizona area, you have to come out and cheer for your team. It's a great afternoon of fun.
2/23/15 - The Diamondbacks' pitchers and catchers started spring training last week and the rest of their team joined them on Feb. 24th. The season is just around the corner, but many are skeptical of Arizona's chances. They finished last in the 2014 season, but fans are very hopeful for the Arizona Diamondback in 2015. Peter O'Brien, Brandon Drury, and Socrates Brito are three new additions to the team that could really impress this season. You will not have to wait very long to see if their new team members will make a difference, because the first game of the preseason in less than a week away. Catch the D-backs as they play the Arizona State University Sun Devils on March 3rd. Tickets start at only $12.
2/5/15 - As the 2015 season quickly approaches, the Arizona Diamondbacks are getting ready for action. Their first game will be on April 6th, against the San Francisco Giants at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona. If you want to celebrate the new season right from the first day, you can catch the Diamondbacks' home opener for as little as $17. Alternatively, if you just cannot wait until April, the preseason starts for Arizona on March 3rd. The Diamondbacks will be playing the Arizona State Sun Devils on Salt River Fields in Scottsdale. You can get seats for that game for even less, with tickets starting at $8. There is a game for you to catch nearly every day until the season starts. Also be sure to keep an eye on the pitchers and catchers report on Feb. 19th and 20th.
2014 Season
9/25/14 - As the 2014 season winds to a close, the Arizona Diamondbacks are continuing their front-office moves, naming former Oakland pitcher Dave Stewart, a multiple 20-game winner in the Bash Brothers days, as the club's new senior vice-president and general manager, replacing Kevin Towers; and broke the club's "connection" with the Detroit Tigers by announcing the firing of manager Kirk Gibson and bench coach Alan Trammell, teammates on the 1984 Tigers squad that led wire-to-wire and won the World Series that year. Stewart, the fourth general manager in D-backs history, joins Billy Beane, Ruben Amaro Jr. and Jerry DiPoto as general managers who were former MLB players.
9/19/14 - This weekend's series with Colorado will be the last divisional games the Arizona Diamondbacks play this season; the Snakes will continue on for a three-game set with Minnesota, before returning home for the final weekend of the year against St. Louis. Leading starter Josh Collmenter is projected to have two more starts to add to his team leading victory total of 10; he also has a team best ERA of 3.60, while Wade Miley leads with 173 strikeouts. Off the field, the Diamondbacks interviewed Allard Baird, currently in the Boston front office, for the vacant general-manager position, while Texas assistant GM Thad Levine withdrew his name from consideration for the position.
9/12/14 - As a disappointing season for the Arizona Diamondbacks draws to a close, the team has to be aware of where they stand – currently tied for last place in the National League West with San Diego. And, with their offensive engine, Paul Goldschmidt, recovering from a broken hand that resulted from a hit-by-pitch; and the search for a new general manager in the wake of the dismissal of Kevin Towers, the Snakes will have to look to the future by default. It appears as though the D-backs are looking well south of the border for an infusion of talent, as Venezuela has been a source of a number of players lately – the latest being Ender Inciarte; and the team eyeing Cuban exile Yasmany Tomas as well.
9/5/14 - The Arizona Diamondbacks look to start shaking things up even before the end of the 2014 regular season; just two seasons removed from their last appearance in the Nationals League playoffs, the club announced the firing of general manager Kevin Towers. The move was widely expected after the club signed former longtime manager Tony LaRussa as their chief baseball officer earlier in the year, and he was expected to evaluate the entire front office. Towers previously spent 14 seasons as San Diego's general manager; a number of candidate names are being floated as his replacement, including Dave Stewart, a former pitcher for LaRussa while he was manager in Oakland during the "Bash Brothers" days.
8/29/14 - Entering the final month of the season, the Arizona Diamondbacks, even though not in last place in their division, have fallen to become one of the least-successful teams in Major League Baseball in 2014. With a record of 55-78 going into the final weekend of August, the D-backs find themselves just two games ahead of Colorado for the bottom of the National League West, and just three games better than Texas of the American League West, the least-successful squad in MLB. The D-backs won just seven times against 16 losses in the month of August, and prepare to spend all but the last six games of the regular season doing battle with their NL West counterparts – those final six games being the tail-end of the final road trip, in Minnesota; followed by the season-concluding three-game series with St. Louis.
8/22/14 - It's been a tough week for the Arizona Diamondbacks, who go into this weekend's action having lost six straight and eight of their last 10; with one of those wins coming in Cleveland and the other one in Miami. After the lone win against the Marlins in the second game of the four-game series with the Marlins, the D-backs dropped their next two to Miami, then the next four to a surging Washington team, falling twice to reliever Rafael Soriano after allowing Stephen Strasburg to even his record. The D-backs will now spend all but the last six games of the season doing battle against their West rivals; they currently are in fourth place, 18 ½ games behing the Los Angeles Dodgers and just two ahead of Colorado.
8/18/14 - As if things couldn't get any worse for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Manager Kirk Gibson told reporters this past weekend that All-Star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, literally the only bright spot in the D-backs season this year, is most likely lost for the season due to a fractured hand suffered when he was hit by a pitch by Pittsburgh's Ernesto Frieri. "Realistlically, it's eight weeks," Gibson said, "so he's done." The ill-fated at-bat was in the bottom of the ninth of Friday's game; in the ninth inning of Saturday's game, Pirates star Andrew McCutcheon had been hit in the back by a pitch from Arizona's Randall Delgado. For his part, Goldschmidt didn't think he had been targeted by Frieri. "Guys have to try and get outs," Goldschmidt said after the game.
8/15/14 - What kind of a year has it been for the Arizona Diamondbacks? Going into the weekend of August 16-17, the D-backs will have fewer than a handful of players who will ultimately have enough qualifying appearances to qualify for statistical leadership – hitters Miguel Montero and Aaron Hill; and pitchers Josh Collmenter and Wade Miley. For offensive stats, a hitter must have at least 3.1 plate appearances per his team's games; while for pitchers, it's one inning per game. With Paul Goldschmidt likely done for the season, as the Snakes plow through their remaining schedule, Goldschmidt will fall short of the required plate appearances – yet he may still finish the season as the D-backs' team leader in a number of categories.
7/28/14 - In a season without a lot of positives (Paul Goldschmidt and a cast of thousands), one player worth taking a look at is third baseman Martin Prado, who is pretty much the second-best hitter the D-backs have this season. Prado, who can be somewhat streaky at the plate, seems to be taking an approach to hitting which is contrary to the "grip it and rip it" nature of contemporary hitters. The Diamondbacks blog "Inside the 'Zona" compares Prado to Dos Equis beer's "Most Interesting Man in the World": Prado doesn't swing very often, but when he does he prefers to make contact. Prado has been described as a patient hitter; while his actual batting average is only .274, he has a batting average in balls in play of .310, and is second on the Snakes in hits (yep, behind Goldschmidt) with 104.
7/18/14 - As they get ready to kick off the second half of the season, the Arizona Diamondbacks got a little good news when Mark Trumbo was activated from the disabled list for this weekend's series against Western Division rivals San Francisco. Trumbo had been out since very early in the season with a stress fracture in his left foot; in seven rehab games before his activation, Trumbo hit .458 with five homers and 12 runs batted in. Another recall came in the form of pitcher Trevor Cahill, a righthander, from their Reno Triple –A affiliate. Cahill had been with the D-backs earlier this season, making 19 appearances and a 1-6 record with a 5.66 ERA.
7/10/14 - While it's well behind the two horse race that the National League's West Division has become, between San Francisco and the Los Angeles Dodgers, just two games separates third place San Diego from the last place Arizona Diamondbacks. The D-backs claimed two of three from visiting Miami in their last series, including a 10-inning 4-3 win spearheaded by Al-Star selectee Paul Goldschmidt, who doubled in the last two of the Snakes' runs in the bottom of the 10th for the win. On the other hand, the path forward for Arizona was clouded considerably when it was announced that starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo would need to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.
7/3/14 – The Arizona Diamondbacks are currently wrapping up their series in Pittsburgh against the Pirates. Tonight, the Snakes look to end their PNC Park stint on a good note, having dropped two games to the Bucs in as many days. If you want to catch the D-Backs on July 4th get ready to shell out some bills, because the get-in price for the Arizona Diamondbacks at Atlanta Braves matchup on Friday will set you back $30. While you are sure to be dazzled by the "All American Fireworks Spectacular" at the beautiful Turner Field, Arizona Diamondbacks tickets drop down to a $8 the very next day (Sat, 7/5) and an even cheaper $5 minimum the day after that (Sun, 7/6)!
6/19/14 - As teams approach the midpoint of the 2014 season, the bright spots for the Arizona Diamondbacks seem to be few and far between. Let's see: there's Paul Goldschmidt, Paul Goldschmidt, and…oh yeah, Paul Goldschmidt. The popular Diamondback first baseman is having a great year at the plate, leading the Snakes in nearly every offensive category, and is also the D-backs' top fielder as well. Goldschmidt is also in a race with the Los Angeles Dodgers' Adrian Gonzalez to be voted by fans as the National League's starting first baseman (and likely, the the lone rep from Arizona) in the 2014 All-Star Game, which this year is at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minn. Goldschmidt pulled ahead of Gonzalez in figures released this past weekend, and currently leads by around 250,000 votes.
6/16/14 - Though losing two of three at home to Houston didn't help, the Arizona Diamondbacks find themselves percentage points out of the National League West cellar, now ahead of San Diego. The Snakes are 6-4 in the month of June so far, having also swept Colorado in Denver, and taking two of three from Atlanta at home. As a team the D-backs are in the top half of the majors in such categories as team batting average and slugging percentage (11th overall) and runs scored (13th), but their below-average on-base percentage (22nd overall) may be holding the team back nonetheless offensively. The pitching situation, however, is less than positive, with the Diamondbacks near the bottom of the bigs in most important statistical measures.
6/6/14 - After dropping three of four to visiting Cincinnati to end May and start June, the Arizona Diamondbacks headed to Denver, and took their brooms with them, taking three straight from the Rockies. The first game of the series, a 4-2 win, was a pitcher's duel compared to the other two games, in which the Snakes scored a combined 28 runs against Colorado's 15. Paul Goldschmidt continues to be The Man in the D-backs' lineup, leading the team in just about every offensive category – homers (11, 10th in the National League), RBIs (44, 2nd in the NL)), hits (75), runs scored (46, also 2nd in the NL), and batting average (.307, the only regular over .300, and ninth in the league).
5/30/14 - Josh Collmenter of the Arizona Diamondbacks collected his fourth straight win on May 29, notching a 4-0 complete game win against the visiting Cincinnati Reds. Collmenter has not taken a loss for the D-backs since April 20, when he lost to the Dodgers 4-1. Since then, he's 4-0 with three no-decisions in seven starts. The win over the Reds was his first complete game of 2014; Collmenter has reduced his ERA from its peak of 4.02 midway though May's games to its current 3.34 mark, tops on the Diamondbacks staff, as his his four wins (tied with Bronson Arroyo).
5/23/14 - While the Arizona Diamondbacks are struggling along in last place in the National League's West Division, well of the pace set by division leaders San Francisco, exciting things are happening in the D-backs' farm system. Jon Griffin, first baseman for the team's Double-A affiliate in Mobile, Alabama, whacked five consecutive home runs over two games, the only player in Southern League history to ever accomplish the feat. He hit four of his five longballs in a single game, just the second Southern Leaguer to do so, then left the yard again in his first at-bat of the next game. Griffin, who was drafted out of Central Florida by Arizona in 2011, has nine homers in 40 games for the BayBears.
5/12/14 - 2014 has been a struggle for the Arizona Diamondbacks, who languish in last place of the National League's West Division, 10 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Snakes got off to a seriously slow start, dropping 14 of their first 18, but since the calendar has rolled over into May, things might be starting to look up a little, as the D-backs have won six of their last nine, taking two out of three from San Diego (who are just 3 ½ games ahead of Arizona), Milwaukee (leading the NL Central), and the Chicago White Sox (second in the American League Central). Slugger Paul Goldschmidt is having another solid season, currently leading the Diamondbacks in most major hitting stats (slash line of .321/.371/.531, OPS of .902, 7 HR, 23 RBI). Free agent acquisition Bronson Arroyo leads the team in wins, while Wade Miley is tops in strikeouts and ERA.
5/5/14 - After a rough start to the week, the Diamondbacks avoided a sweep by the Rockies and went on to defeat other division foes, the San Diego Padres, over the weekend. Arizona is still fifth in the NL West, but they continue to narrow the gap between themselves and the fourth-place Padres (four games ahead). This comes thanks to NL Rookie of the Month, shortstop Chris Owings, who posted a .313 batting average for the month of April. Up next for the D-backs is a testing visit to the Milwaukee Brewers, followed by a trip to Chicago against the White Sox. Arizona Diamondbacks tickets are as low as $6 when they face Milwaukee, the toughest team in the league, on Tuesday and Wednesday (5/6-5/7).
4/29/14 - Things were looking up when the Arizona Diamondbacks snapped four consecutive losses with a three game win-streak, including a split series with the Cubs, last week. Heading into the final week of April, the DBacks have dropped three straight games and lost heavy-hitter Mark Trumbo to the DL from a stress fracture. Arizona Diamondbacks tickets for their final two games against Colorado are $7-$9 to start (4/29-4/30); the get-in price bumps up to $12 for their first match at Petco Park opposite the Padres (5/4).
4/21/14 - The Arizona Diamondbacks have yet to get the ball rolling this year, trailing by rather large margins in their 16 losses on the season. At 5th in the tough NL West, the DBacks are four games away from catching the San Diego Padres who are in fourth. Arizona has a real opportunity to rake in the victories, with four games lined up against the Cubs starting tonight. Chicago Cubs tickets start at just $1 (4/21-4/22, 4/24) across this all-important series.
4/14/14- The Arizona Diamondbacks hit a roadblock when they faced the Los Angeles Dodgers in Phoenix over the weekend. While they were successful against NL West contenders from NorCal, defeating the Giants 2-1, the DBacks fell in three consecutive games to Los Angeles, even being shutout in their first meeting. To improve, Arizona is altering their starting rotation, likely moving Trevor Cahill to the bullpen in favor of either Bo Schultz or Mike Bolsinger. The DBacks will try to rally past a 4-11 record starting tonight against the Mets and against the Dodgers this weekend. It's easy to find cheap Arizona Diamondbacks tickets this week: get in for $10 this Wednesday (4/16) in Phoenix, or pay $2 to see them in Los Angeles on Sunday (4/20).
4/7/14 - The Arizona Diamondbacks have had a really tough start to the season, going 2-7 and losing three series to the Dodgers, Giants and Rockies. One of their wins came against the Giants last Tuesday; see if they can best them at AT&T Park, starting tomorrow! Arizona will be coming off a win on Sunday, boasting Paul Goldschmidt's .400, Chris Owings .367 and Mark Trumbo's .314 batting averages—it's the pitching rotation (averaging an ERA of 6.18) that must step it up to beat San Francisco (and the Dodgers this weekend). The cheapest Arizona Diamondbacks tickets of the week are offered on Thursday in San Francisco for $10 and on Sunday in Los Angeles for $19.
4/1/14 - The Arizona Diamondbacks have had a rough start to their season, losing to two quality opponents over the last three games. After dropping two to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the DBacks nearly took their first win of the year against the San Francisco Giants yesterday, but ultimately lost 9-8. Arizona will take on the Giants for three more nights and cheap tickets are still available! See them turn things around and get-in tonight for just $9, tomorrow for $15 and Thursday for $10. The Arizona squad will pack their bags and head off to Colorado for a few games against the Rockies at Coors Field: get-in for their first match on Friday for $81.
3/24/14 - Following their Opening Series trip in Australia, the Arizona Diamondbacks have had a rocky start to the season. They are now 0-2, losing both games to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Sydney. The DBacks will try to brush off the jetlag and get back into tip-top form when they play their final two exhibition matches of the year this weekend against the Chicago Cubs at Chase Field. You can score some cheap Arizona Diamondbacks tickets for these games: get-in for $17 on Friday and $15 on Saturday. Tickets to the DBacks' Opening Day game against division rivals, the San Francisco Giants, are even cheaper than Spring Training games! You can get-in for just $8 next Monday and see the season kick off right.
3/18/14 - Regular season has all but begun for the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have arrived in Australia to play the first regular season game of the 2014 season. The Diamondbacks will take on the Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend for the first Opening Series, and assuming you aren't a die-hard fan en route to see them Down Under, you'll have to wait until Opening Day to see the D-backs play in the States. Arizona is pitted against the San Francisco Giants on March 31, and tickets average $64 at Chase Field. Arizona is without their starting pitcher for Game 1, Patrick Corbin, who is likely out for the rest of the season from a UCL tear in his elbow, which may require Tommy John surgery.
3/10/14 - Manager Kirk Gibson and his squad can't wait to show their talent internationally, with just a week left before Arizona's overseas game against the Dodgers in Australia. On the downside, Bronson Arroyo may not be joining the team abroad, as he is expected to miss 7-10 days due to an inflamed disk; on the upside, free agent left-hander Oliver Perez definitely will be joining the bullpen after signing a two-year deal. Arizona Diamondbacks tickets start at $21 when they meet Cleveland tomorrow afternoon, and drop to $19 to get-in on their faceoff with Seattle this Thursday.
3/3/14 - Arizona kicked off Spring Training with some old fashioned revenge: the Dbacks bested the Dodgers and vaunted pitcher, Clayton Kershaw, 4-1 on Wednesday's opening game. This was the first time these two teams met since Los Angeles took the NL West last year, but they'll be meeting against for another big game: MLB's season opener over in Australia. Manager Kirk Gibson just announced the opening job Down Under will go to Patrick Corbin, who went 14-8 last year. Arizona is 3-3 coming into today's split-squad double-header against the Angels and Rockies. Arizona Diamondbacks tickets start at $15 for their Wednesday game against Kansas City, and $17 for their match against Oakland.
2/25/14 - The Arizona Dbacks certainly made some big moves in winter to keep the competition closer in the NL West this year, but perhaps their greatest success story of the offseason was the successful rehabilitation of outfielder Cody Ross. Ross came back to camp from hip surgery and is garnering comparisons to Bo Jackson, who suffered the same hip fracture injury. Manager Kirk Gibson says his comeback is "unreal," as the physicality with which he's performing is way ahead of schedule. The OF was initially slated to return in May, but now may be able to accompany the team to Australia for their season-opener in March! The average price for Arizona Diamondbacks tickets has dropped slightly, from $44 to $40 across spring training. Be in the stands for just $24 to see the first Cactus League game of the year, when the Dbacks go toe-to-toe against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
2/11/14 - The Arizona Diamondbacks wrapped up the offseason with one final big move, signing a durable player at the age of 37 and a welcome addition to the rotation: free-agent pitcher Bronson Arroyo on a two-year, $23.5 million contract. As of yesterday, the Diamondbacks reported all pitchers, catchers and position players and are gearing up for their first workout starting tomorrow. Due to their opening day game that will take place Down Under, the D-Backs and the Dodgers have both reported a week earlier than most other teams. These two Cactus League teams will face off earlier than that, however, with a Feb 26 game in Scottsdale, AZ, at just a $27 minimum.
1/27/14 - It looks like the Arizona Diamondback are headed into the NL West this season as underdogs. With a myriad of promising young players in the bullpen, including Archie Bradley, the D-Backs have some prospective breakout stars brewing. Arizona Diamondbacks tickets are averaging $44 for
Spring Training
. Be there on Feb 26 to see them square off against rivals, the Dodgers, for only $26 at
Salt River Fields
The Arizona Diamondbacks may be the youngest franchise in the major leagues, but they're already quite a storied team! The D-Backs were the fastest team in the majors to win a championship, taking the World Series in just their fourth season and last year, Arizona finished second in the
NL West
. Just behind rivals the
Los Angeles Dodgers
, the D-Backs have been putting in a lot of work this winter to assure that doesn't happen again.
Arizona was one of the busiest teams in the offseason, with GM Kevin Towers selling low on many young players. Arizona acquired Addison Reed and slugger Mark Trumbo from the
Los Angeles Angels
, in exchange for trading off fresh players Tyler Skaggs, Matt Davidson, and Adam Eaton. The two will join Paul Goldschmidt, Martin Prado and A.J. Pollack around the diamond, but even more changes were made in the bullpen. The ineffective trio of Heath Bell, Chaz Roe and Tony Sipp are gone after a poor season. The D-Backs were finalists in bagging highly touted free-agent pitcher Masahiro Tanaka, only to be outbid by the
New York Yankees
for a seven-year contract. Now, after missing the Matt Garza opportunity, the D-Backs will have to sacrifice a draft pick to attain a proven starter beside Patrick Corbin if they want to add depth to a young bullpen and compete against their bigger-market neighbors.
2013 Season
7/26/13 - After a few years of wandering in the desert after their surprising run to a World Series title in 2001, the D-backs have made their way back into a contending team, with skipper Kirk Gibson, a former star in his playing days, providing experienced leadership while calling the right shots. The key name in the D-Backs' offensive resurgence is first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who leads the club in most important offensive categories; pitcher Patrick Corbin will be a name to keep an eye on in the second half for the Snakes.
The Miami Marlins aren't the only team in
with major changes to its lineup. The Arizona Diamondbacks traded Justin Upton and Chris Johnson to the Atlanta Braves in a deal that included 3B Martin Prado and RHP Randall Delgado. The D-Backs also acquired free agents Cody Ross and Brandon McCarthy as well as Adam Eaton to add to their depth chart. Fans at
Chase Field
will see new faces on the Diamondbacks roster this season.
These D-Backs fans know that their team can hold its own in a tough NL West despite having to compete against big-market teams with a lot of money. Two of the three most expensive Diamondbacks
Spring Training
games come against Division rivals Los Angeles Dodgers (3/17) and San Francisco Giants (3/27). The average D-Backs Spring Training tickets are $41; the March matchup against the Dodgers is $54, versus the Giants $50.
Arizona Diamondbacks tickets for Opening Day against the
St. Louis Cardinals
(4/1) are averaging double the cost of the next most expensive game. D-Backs Opening Day tickets have an average price tag of $181 but a get-in price of under $20. Following Opening Day at Chase Field, the next six most expensive games will all be played against the San Francisco Giants. The average AZ Diamondbacks tickets for the 2013 season are $66.

Lincecum looking for sweep vs. McCarthy and D-backs
Veteran hurlers each come into finale with something to prove
San Francisco right-hander Tim Lincecum is in the midst of a hugely important season from an individual perspective. He's trying to prove that he can still be an elite starter in the Major Leagues.
Meanwhile, D-backs catcher Miguel Montero is trying to bust out of a slump, and his manager is expressing confidence that he will do exactly that soon.
Those are two intriguing storylines as the Giants and D-backs play again on Wednesday at Chase Field in a key National League West matchup, with right-hander Brandon McCarthy opposing Lincecum.
Lincecum, the two-time Cy Young Award winner, has been a bit resurgent after a disappointing 2012 campaign and showed it again in a terrific outing in his last start. Despite taking a loss -- his first of the season -- Lincecum went seven innings, marking the first time he had done so since Aug. 10 of last year. He struck out nine batters, his highest total in a single game since last July 14. He gave up two runs to the Padres, who happened to hold the Giants to one.
"On a personal note, it was great to go seven and not be all over the place," said Lincecum, who has battled command problems over the last few years, but only walked three in his last outing and has a 1.32 ERA and 17 strikeouts in his last 13 2/3 innings.
"I'll take it as a positive that I put the team in position to come back. I'm trying to get away from comparing this year to last year."
Montero needs to improve his numbers in a hurry if the D-backs are to continue their solid start. Montero is just 8-for-61 since April 12 and has seen his batting average drop from .265 to .200 over that span.
Arizona manager Kirk Gibson doesn't seem terribly concerned about it, however.
"He hasn't had the results, but he has hit the ball better," Gibson said. "Just like anybody else that is struggling, it takes a life of its own and it becomes more than it should. When you get in a slump, the danger is that you think too much about it.
"But there's nothing you can do about it. The key is trying to block it out. The good ones do that. He's a good one and so that's what he does."
Giants: Panda loves Phoenix
Third baseman Pablo Sandoval enters Wednesday with a lifetime batting average of .357 (50-for-140) with six home runs and 28 RBIs in 37 games at Chase Field, including the game-winning home run in the ninth inning of Tuesday's game. Overall, Sandoval has 11 hits in his last 17 at-bats.
• Catcher Buster Posey's season-high 10-game hitting streak was snapped on Tuesday. He's still batting .371 (13-for-35) with three doubles, three home runs and nine RBIs over his last 11 games.
• Sergio Romo has not allowed a run in 26 games against the D-backs, a span of 19 innings.
D-backs: McCarthy looking to bounce back
Arizona had high hopes for McCarthy when it signed him in the offseason, but through his first five starts with the club, the right-hander is winless. In each outing, McCarthy has allowed at least eight hits. However, opponents are batting .396 on balls hit in play against McCarthy, almost 100 points above the league average of .300.
"He is throwing well, he had the best stuff he has had since joining us," Gibson said of McCarthy's outing last Friday. "But if you look at the difference a few plays make, it's huge. But it's part of baseball and he has to deal with it. ... In my mind, he understands what's going on."
• First baseman Paul Goldschmidt loves facing Lincecum. In 14 at-bats against the San Francisco starter, Goldschmidt has eight hits, including five home runs and 10 RBIs.
• Heath Bell continues to make strides out of the bullpen. The veteran is 2-0 with a 1.17 ERA and 12 strikeouts in his last eight games. Bell has struck out 14 batters in his last nine games.
Worth noting:
• Giants pitchers have allowed 29 home runs this season in 27 games. Twenty-four of those home runs have been allowed by Giants starting pitchers, the second-most in the Majors behind Seattle's starting staff (25).
• Arizona went 6-0 in extra-inning games in April, matching its most extra-inning games in a single month. The D-backs are hitting .304 (17-for-56) in extra innings.

Comments about Black Diamond C4 Camalots:
BD cams are the only cams I trust! I especially like the time tested Camalot. I have taken several unexpected leader falls on these guys and they have always held! The trigger is smooth, the cams are easy to place and they are easy for a second to clean. I truly believe that these cams are the gold standard!
Comments about Black Diamond C4 Camalots:
I've only owned my new number three for a week and it's already fixed on a route. "What should I do I can't get it out dad?" Golly gee wiz it, I think to myself. I just bought two more number three Camelots. "Just climb Jacob I'll just have to buy two more." You see that's my policy. Every time I loose one, break one, or get a number three Camelot stuck, I just have to replace it with two more.
Comments about Black Diamond C4 Camalots:
I go through at least 1 full set of cams each year. I use them in the desert and on the granite. The cables eventually wear out and break, the plastic stems eventually crack and prevent the cam from working but overall no other cam works better. So if you use and abuse them like me, expect to buy lots of them. If you rarely use them and keep them out of the desert, they will give you more years than mine! Rob Pizem
Comments about Black Diamond C4 Camalots:
These are hands down the best standard cams out there. The double axle allows for increased range which is very important. The sizes overlap pretty well with only a few exceptions which only really matter in Wingate sandstone. Camalots are generally pretty easy to place and remove due to the trigger action whereas some cams have a tendency to get stuck or walk more easily into poor placements. DMM made dragon cams to copy the C4 but the dragon cams have a much shorter stem which makes removal more difficult. In anything but a shallow placement this will make the cam more difficult to remove and more likely to be irretrievable. As is advertised, "the gold standard for camming units." I couldn't say it better myself. For smaller cracks I like to supplement my rack with some small offset cams and C3's. Additionally, you can be sure that BD will back all of their products, an attribute that is becoming rare in the industry.
Comments about Black Diamond C4 Camalots:
Saved my life! There I was hanging it all out there, I was moving like a, well I dynoed for a gaston, high stepped on a sloper, then well u get it! Airborn I was! Bomber #6 camalot saved my life! Use long runners kids!
Comments about Black Diamond C4 Camalots:
I started climbing in the late 1960's and we used Chouinard pitons and carabiners ... then nuts and hex's and we managed to get up some pretty amazing walls. Then came Friends and all the wonders of fast protection. So when Camalots came along, I'd seen a lot of devices. But in my opinion, Camalots are THE current standard because of their range, weight, reliability, and design. My rack is pretty much all Black Diamond at this point. I have full sets Camalots at my side whenever I'm roping up. Black Diamond is a company I can trust to keep me and my gear state of the art!
Comments about Black Diamond C4 Camalots:
I have a whole rack of C4s and C3s and I like them a lot. I like the sizes .5 and up the most. The smaller pieces I find hard to place, but maybe thats just me.
Comments about Black Diamond C4 Camalots:
Indeed Camalots are the industry standard for cams. They hold in the rock significantly better than other units that I have used and owned in the past. Through the years my rack has shed and gained different filler pieces of gear, but BD camalots have stayed strong as the workhorses. When climbing high--or not so high--above gear, there isn't anything I rather have below me than a BD camalot.
Comments about Black Diamond C4 Camalots:
These are consistent and strong. They have caught me every time and make pushing my grade that much more easy on the mind. Great design.
Comments about Black Diamond C4 Camalots:
BD Calls these the "Gold Standard" for camming units, and they're right. For my guiding and personal climbing it is what people are most familiar with. Durable, light, trustworthy, wide expansion range...the C4 has it all. The only competition they have on my rack is from BD's own X4 in the .5 size.

That really looks fantastic. It makes me wanting to DL and install it. But I think I should wait for Project Indiana (Preview / Beta). Project Indiana will get updates as far as I know, too. And fglrx / radeonhd don't support Solaris yet (well, if I look at the last radeonhd commit I am not sure...). It is nice to have drivers (nvidia) and Flash etc. with it, but who needs the RealPlayer?
I will "stay hard" and (can't) wait for Indiana

Peter, you've got the 1/2" steel, which, with your oven, will give you any non Neapolitan bake time your heart desires. You can certainly look at your broiler and see if it can do Neapolitan, but the odds are astronomical that it can't. Assuming this is the case, 1/2" steel, in a fixed position, will give you everything this oven is capable of giving you. Enough of this hot hearth moving madness
I fixed it
Well, maybe but that's not what I'm saying. When I say I 'fixed it', it means I fixed my post to reflect your previous comment:http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,22795.msg233140.html#msg233140

General Information
Fortunately, cancer in children and adolescents is rare, although the overall incidence of childhood cancer has been slowly increasing since 1975.[1] Children and adolescents with cancer should be referred to medical centers that have a multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists with experience treating the cancers that occur during childhood and adolescence. This multidisciplinary team approach incorporates the skills of the primary care physician, pediatric surgical subspecialists, radiation oncologist, pediatric oncologist/hematologist, rehabilitation specialists, pediatric nurse specialists, social workers, and others to ensure that children receive treatment, supportive care, and rehabilitation that will achieve optimal survival and quality of life. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Pediatric Supportive Care for specific information about supportive care for children and adolescents with cancer.)
Guidelines for pediatric cancer centers and their role in the treatment of pediatric patients with cancer have been outlined by the American Academy of Pediatrics.[2] At these pediatric cancer centers, clinical trials are available for most types of cancer that occur in children and adolescents, and the opportunity to participate in these trials is offered to most patients/families. Clinical trials for children and adolescents with cancer are generally designed to compare potentially better therapy with therapy that is currently accepted as standard. Most of the progress made in identifying curative therapies for childhood cancers has been achieved through clinical trials. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Dramatic improvements in survival have been achieved for children and adolescents with cancer.[1] Between 1975 and 2010, childhood cancer mortality decreased by more than 50%.[1] For rhabdomyosarcoma, the 5-year survival rate increased over the same time, from 53% to 67% for children younger than 15 years and from 30% to 51% for adolescents aged 15 to 19 years.[1] Childhood and adolescent cancer survivors require close follow-up because cancer therapy side effects may persist or develop months or years after treatment. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Late Effects of Treatment for Childhood Cancer for specific information about the incidence, type, and monitoring of late effects in childhood and adolescent cancer survivors.)
Incidence and Epidemiology
Childhood rhabdomyosarcoma, a soft tissue malignant tumor of mesenchymal origin, accounts for approximately 3.5% of the cases of cancer among children aged 0 to 14 years and 2% of the cases among adolescents and young adults aged 15 to 19 years.[3,4] The incidence is 4.5 per 1 million children and 50% of cases are seen in the first decade of life.[5]
Incidence may depend on the histologic subtype of rhabdomyosarcoma:
- Embryonal: Patients with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma are predominantly male (M:F = 1.5) and peaks in the 0 to 4 year age group at approximately 4 cases per 1 million children, with a lower rate in adolescents, approximately 1.5 cases per 1 million adolescents.[5]
- Alveolar: The incidence of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma does not vary by gender and is constant from ages 0 to 19 years at approximately 1 case per 1 million children and adolescents.[5]
- Undifferentiated sarcoma: Infants younger than 1 year have a higher incidence of undifferentiated sarcoma and tumors of the trunk and abdomen and a lower incidence of parameningeal tumors than do older patients.[6]
The most common primary sites for rhabdomyosarcoma are the head, the genitourinary tract, and the extremities.[7,8] Within extremity tumors, tumors of the hand and foot occur more often in older patients and have an alveolar histology; these tumors also have a higher rate of metastatic spread.[9] Other less common primary sites include the trunk, chest wall, perineal/anal region, and abdomen including the retroperitoneum and biliary tract.
Most cases of rhabdomyosarcoma occur sporadically, with no recognized predisposing factor or risk factor.[10] For patients with embryonal tumors, high birth weight and large size for gestational age are associated with an increased incidence of rhabdomyosarcoma.[11] Genetic conditions associated with rhabdomyosarcoma include Li-Fraumeni cancer susceptibility syndrome (with germline p53 mutations),[12-14] pleuropulmonary blastoma (with DICER1 mutations),[15,16] neurofibromatosis type I,[17] Costello syndrome (with germline HRAS mutations),[18-21] Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (with which Wilms tumor and hepatoblastoma are more commonly associated),[22,23] and Noonan syndrome.[21,24,25]
Prognostic Factors
The prognosis for a child or adolescent with rhabdomyosarcoma is related to the age of the patient, site of origin, tumor size (widest diameter), resectability, presence of metastases, number of metastatic sites or tissues involved, presence or absence of regional lymph node involvement, histopathologic subtype (alveolar vs. embryonal), and delivery of radiation therapy in selected cases,[7,8,26-32]; [33][Level of evidence: 3iiiA] as well as unique biological characteristics of rhabdomyosarcoma tumor cells.[34] It is unclear whether response to induction chemotherapy, as judged by anatomic imaging, correlates with the likelihood of survival in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma, because the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group (IRSG) and Children's Oncology Group studies found no association.[35]; [36][Level of evidence: 3iiDi] However, an Italian study found that patient response did correlate with likelihood of survival.[37][Level of evidence: 3iiA]
Rhabdomyosarcoma is usually curable in most children with localized disease who receive combined-modality therapy, with more than 70% surviving 5 years after diagnosis.[7,8,38] Relapses are uncommon after 5 years of disease-free survival, with a 9% late-event rate at 10 years. Relapses, however, are more common in patients who have gross residual disease in unfavorable sites after initial surgery and in those who have metastatic disease at diagnosis.[39]
Examples of both clinical and biological factors with proven or possible prognostic significance include the following:
Age: Children aged 1 to 9 years have the best prognosis, while those younger and older fare less well. In recent IRSG trials, 5-year failure-free survival (FFS) was 57% for patients younger than 1 year, 81% for patients aged 1 to 9 years, and 68% for patients older than 10 years. Five-year survival for these groups was 76%, 87%, and 76%, respectively.[6] Historical data show that adults fare worse than children (5-year overall survival (OS) rates, 27% ± 1.4% and 61% ± 1.4%, respectively; P < .0001).[40-43]
- Infants may do poorly because their bone marrow is less tolerant of chemotherapy doses that older children can receive; thus, infants are relatively underdosed compared with older patients. In addition, infants younger than 1 year may be less likely to receive radiation therapy for local control, because of concern about the high incidence of complications in this age group. [27,38,44] Thus, they have a relatively high rate of local failure.
- In older children, vincristine and dactinomycin have upper dosage limits based on body surface area, and these patients may also require reduced vincristine doses because of neurotoxicity.[27,45]
- Adolescents: A report from the AIEOP (Italian) Soft Tissue Sarcoma Committee suggests that adolescents may have more frequent unfavorable tumor characteristics, including alveolar histology, regional lymph node involvement, and metastatic disease involvement, accounting for their poor prognosis. This study also found that 5-year OS and progression-free survival rates were somewhat lower in adolescents than in children, but the differences among age groups younger than 1 year and aged 10 to 19 years at diagnosis were significantly worse than those in the group aged 1 to 9 years.[46]
Site of origin: Primary sites with more favorable prognoses include the following:[7,8,47,48]
- Orbit and nonparameningeal head and neck.
- Paratestis, vulva, vagina, uterus (nonbladder, nonprostate genitourinary tract).
- Biliary tract.
Diameter of the tumor: Patients with
smaller tumors (≤5 cm) have improved survival compared with children with
larger tumors.[7] Both tumor volume and maximum tumor diameter are associated with outcome.[37][Level of evidence: 3iiA]
A retrospective review of soft tissue sarcomas in children and adolescents suggests that the 5 cm cutoff used for adults with soft tissue sarcoma may not be ideal for smaller children, especially infants. The review identified an interaction between tumor diameter and body surface area (BSA).[49] This was not confirmed by a Children's Oncology Group study of patients with intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma.[50] This relationship requires prospective study to determine the therapeutic implications of the observation.
Metastases and regional lymph node involvement: Children with metastatic disease at diagnosis have the
worst prognosis. The prognostic significance of metastatic disease
is modified by tumor histology (embryonal is more favorable than alveolar), the site of metastatic disease, and the number of metastatic sites.[28,51,52]
Patients with metastatic genitourinary (nonbladder, nonprostate)
primary tumors have a more favorable outcome than do patients with
metastatic disease from primary tumors at other sites.[53]
Patients with otherwise localized disease but with proven regional lymph node involvement have a worse prognosis than do patients without regional nodal involvement.[31,32]
- Resectability: The extent of disease after the primary surgical procedure (i.e., the Surgical-pathologic Group, formerly called the Clinical Group) is also correlated with outcome.[7] In the IRS-III study, patients with localized, gross residual disease after initial surgery (Surgical-pathologic Group III) had a 5-year survival rate of approximately 70%, compared with a more than 90% 5-year survival rate for patients without residual tumor after surgery (Group I) and an approximately 80% 5-year survival rate for patients with microscopic residual tumor after surgery (Group II).[7,26] Regardless, outcome is primarily related to the use of multimodality therapy; all patients require chemotherapy and at least 85% also benefit from radiation therapy, with favorable outcome even for those patients with nonresectable disease. In IRS-IV, the Group III patients with unresectable disease who were treated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy had a 5-year FFS of about 75%.[54]
Histopathologic subtype: The alveolar subtype is more prevalent among patients with less favorable
clinical features (e.g., younger than 1 year or older than 10 years,
extremity primary tumors, and metastatic disease at diagnosis), and is generally associated with
a worse outcome than in similar patients with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. In the IRS-I and IRS-II studies, the alveolar subtype was
associated with a less favorable outcome even in patients whose primary
tumor was completely resected (Group I).[47] A statistically significant
difference in 5-year survival by histopathologic subtype (82% for embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma vs. 65% for alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma), was not noted
when 1,258 IRS-III and IRS-IV patients with rhabdomyosarcoma were analyzed.[55] In the IRS-III study, outcome for patients with Group I alveolar subtype tumors was similar to that for other patients with
Group I tumors, but the alveolar patients received more
intensive therapy.[7]
Patients with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma who have regional lymph node involvement have significantly worse outcomes (5-year FFS, 43%) than patients who do not have regional lymph node involvement (5-year FFS, 73%).[56]
Anaplasia has been observed in 13% of cases of rhabdomyosarcoma and its presence may adversely influence clinical outcome in patients with intermediate-risk embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. However, anaplasia was not shown to be an independent prognostic variable in a multivariate analysis (P = .081).[57]
- Biological characteristics: Refer to the Molecular Classification section of this summary for more information.
- Response to therapy: In a study of 94 patients with rhabdomyosarcoma who underwent preirradiation and postirradiation positron emission tomography (PET) imaging at a median of 55 days after the completion of radiation therapy, a negative postirradiation PET predicted improved local failure-free survival.[58] This difference was most pronounced for patients who had a negative postirradiation PET and no evidence of residual disease on coregistered computed tomography.
Adult patients with rhabdomyosarcoma have a high incidence of pleomorphic histology (19%). Pleomorphic histology is extremely rare in children and young adults with rhabdomyosarcoma. Adults also have a higher incidence of tumors in unfavorable sites than do children.[40]
Because treatment and prognosis depend, in part, on the histology and molecular genetics of the tumor, it is necessary that the tumor tissue be reviewed by pathologists and cytogeneticists/molecular geneticists with experience in the evaluation and diagnosis of tumors in children. Additionally, the diversity of primary sites, the distinctive surgical and radiation therapy treatments for each primary site, and the subsequent site-specific rehabilitation underscore the importance of treating children with rhabdomyosarcoma in medical centers with appropriate experience in all therapeutic modalities.

Stevens 'thrilled,' 'humbled' to coach Celtics
Stevens is the 17th head coach in the franchise's history.
Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge and members of the team's ownership group were also present.
He added that he is "absolutely humbled" by the chance to coach the Celtics.
Now, he has the task of coaching a rebuilt roster in Boston that dealt away veterans Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry and traded nine-year coach Doc Rivers.
Stevens said he is looking forward to working with Rondo. The two have already spoken over the phone and Stevens plans to meet with him soon.
Ainge said that Stevens was at the top of his list of candidates to take the coaching job.
"Brad was my first choice," he said. "I have watched and admired his poise, his intelligence, his teams, their effort, their execution under pressure. I've always looked at him the last few years as a guy that was a great candidate to be a head coach, never really thinking it was going to be this soon in Celtics history but is a guy that I have targeted for a long time as a potential great head coach."
"We all know what we are about to embark on and he will have great support from ownership and from management," Ainge said. "Yes, there will be transition from the college game to the NBA game, but we will give him the support that he needs to make that transition fast. He's a very smart guy."

For a good lesson on local history, go skiing. At Breckenridge Ski Resort, many of the runs are named after early ski area characters or events, and some after the personal whims of early locals. Here's the story behind some of the first runs, plus their lower run-outs, named in the early days after Peak 8 Ski Area (Breck's original name) opened in December of 1961.
Four O'Clock was probably the first run cut through the woods. It went from its current location near present-day Vista Haus down to Park Avenue. Its name, appropriately, derives from the fact that it was the way down to town at closing.
Springmeier (the correct spelling was actually Springmeyer) was named, for reasons only the forest knows, after a colorful local character of the 1940s to 1960s - Alva Springmeyer. His story is shrouded in mystery except that he came from Oklahoma and made quite a bit of money in oil (this was known because the local postal clerk noted the monthly checks he received from some oil interests). Springmeyer married Agnes Adams, who owned a millinery shop in the current location of Skinny Winter gift shop on Main Street. Springmeyer kept his herd of goats in the rear of the building in winter. The couple lived in the log cabin next to Gold Pan Saloon that currently houses Twin Moose yogurt shop. Springmeyer also invested in local real estate and probably made a killing when the ski resort developers needed land for lodging, retail and other facilities. Maybe that's why his name graces one of Breck's ski runs today.
Rounders and Callie's Alley were named after the resort's first developer - Bill Rounds (nicknamed "Rounder") - and his wife Carolyn (nicknamed "Callie"). Rounds owned Rounds and Porter, a Wichita, Kan., lumber, oil and real estate development firm. Callie still lives in the Denver area, while Bill passed away some years ago. The final run - Spruce - was simply named after the official Colorado tree.
The resort's original chairlift was named the Heron #1 and ran from near the base of the current Rocky Mountain Superchair to a point above and north of Vista Haus. The chair had a mid-point off-loading capability in the flat area below the intersection of Spruce, Swinger and Rounders. The northernmost run back to the base - the continuation of Spruce - was named Ego Lane because it was so easy that it boosted your ego and courage on the way down. On the opposite, south side of the tree island on the left side of Ego Lane was Boreas Bounce, currently the lower part of Crescendo.
Later runs in the same general area include two named after successful movies of 1977: "High Anxiety" and "The Goodbye Girl." Both of these runs were cut during the late 1970s ownership of the ski area by 20th Century Fox when the movie studio, flush with profits from these movies as well as "Star Wars," ventured into the ski recreation business for a short time.
And then there was Little Johnny, whose real name was Johnny Sheron, a fiery, party-loving, height-challenged lifty of the mid- to late-1960s who lived in Fairplay. Who knows where Little Johnny is today - but his name lives on in the snows of Breckenridge.
Many thanks to Maureen Nicholls for some of the details in this article.

Tips And Techniques On How To Paint Your Car
Written by Douglas R. Glad on December 18, 2006 Pick The Right Paints And Supplies,Find An Unfinished Panel That Is Out Of View And...We're going to paint one of our project cars in the next year. We're going to do it by hand, in the Car Craft shop, from car wash to final color-sand and buff, all while you watch. Though we've painted a few cars in the past, there has always been a shop or professional gun at work at some point in the project that has kept us from proclaiming 100 percent ownership of the work, good or bad.
If you've had the same idea, you're going to need to know all the little details about picking the right paint, sandpaper, reducers, and a list of other items that conspire to bog you down. You're also going to want to start your first job in an out-of-the-way place, like under the hood or in the trunk, in case you make a couple of mistakes, like we did. Trunks also don't require color-sanding and buffing to look right, so they're a great place to get some practice on good prep work and spraying techniques
The CC/Rambler had some surface rust in the trunk and some areas where the seam sealer had retreated and the original paint had started to bubble. All that was required was some simple sanding and application of some primer to get the area paint ready. That allowed us to spend more time on paint mixing and experimenting with paint flow, air pressure, and spray pattern before we tackled anything like an entire car. Try it
Because we don't have a wall-mounted pressure regulator, the pressure at the inlet regulator is well over 100 psi. We had to pull the trigger halfway to relieve the initial pressure spike on each stroke then pull it all the way to get the paint to flow. A wall mount is next on the grocery list. A cheater valve regulates by restricting airflow. Think of it as kinking a hose to temporarily stop water flow. Straighten the hose, and water blasts out. A proper wall-mount regulator vents off excess pressure, therefore holding steady at whatever pressure you set it to.

If you love your electric guitar, then you know that the instrument's potential is nearly limitless. This is especially true when you pair it with the perfect amplifiers and effects. The right amp, paired with the right effects, can take your sound from run of the mill, to out of this world in no time.
Think about some of your favorite guitar riffs of all time. That searing, electrifying fret work stays with you long after the song is over. The odds are that these riffs were brought to life by an amp and an effects pedal. So if you're looking to recreate your favorites or unleash some legendary riffs of your own, you've come to the right place.
First, you're going to need the right amp for the job. Some of the more popular options available here include the Cougar 15 15W Class A Tube Guitar Combo Amp from Bad Cat, the '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb 22W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp with Celestion G12V-70 Speaker from Fender, and the Slash Signature 5W 1x12 Guitar Tube Combo from Marshall. Of course, these are only a small sample of the dozens of amps available here, so take a look around for the one that is best suited to your needs.
Once you find the perfect amp, you'll want to pair it with the perfect effects pedal. This, of course, begs the question, which effects pedal is "the perfect" one? Well, there's honestly no right answer to that question. It might be one pedal, it might be a combination of pedals; it simply comes down to which pedals get the job done for you. Some of the more popular effects available here include the B9 Organ Machine Guitar Effects Pedal from Electro-Harmonix, which turns your guitar into a convincing, full-body electric organ; the Uberschall Distortion/Boost Guitar Effects Pedal from Bogner, which unleashes some seriously legendary high-gain sound you'll crave; and the MT-BB Buzz Boy Power Fuzz Guitar Effects Pedal from Modtone, which offers some maniacal fuzz that can deliver unexpected results.
In the end, as stated earlier, the right amplifiers and effects for you will end up being a matter of personal preference. One thing is for sure, once you find the right combination for you, you're going to fall in love with your thrilling new tones and sound.

The purpose of a debugger is to allow you to see what is going on inside another program while it executes. It is useful to find out what another program was doing at the moment it crashed. I know most people will recommend GNU gdb, Nemiver, Valgrind or IDE such as Eclipse. I use gdb when it is really required; otherwise I debug the old fashioned way using printf() or cout statements.

Lewis Hamilton called his brilliant Bahrain GP win one of the best of his career after he just managed to outfox teammate Nico Rosberg.
Hamilton snuck past the pole man at the start, and survived a series of attacks from Rosberg, who was handed a second chance when the safety car cut the gap before the final sprint to the flag.
