TwinsCentric was formed by Twins super-bloggers Seth Stohs, Nick Nelson, Parker Hageman and John Bonnes. Together they publish at TwinsDaily.com and have authored books, e-books and magazines that provide independent and in-depth coverage of the Minnesota Twins from a fan's perspective. You can contact them at email@example.com.
The White Sox are back in town.
Over the past handful of years, that's been music to the ears of baseball fans in Minnesota. Since 2008, the Twins are 21-6 at home against the Sox. Ozzie Guillen often lamented his team's hex at the Metrodome (where they hadn't posted a winning record since 2005), and Target Field has – up to this point – not proven much friendlier.
Baseball is a random game where few things can be relied upon, but success for the Twins when facing the South Siders on their own turf has been one of them.
Will that continue to be the case this year? Rain has delayed the latest chapter of this classic rivalry, which figures to get underway tonight. It seems an appropriate time to gauge each club.
At present, the Twins and White Sox both find themselves in unfamiliar and undesirable territory: the bottom.
Chicago has gradually recovered from its miserable 14-23 start, winning 19 of 31 to move within two games of .500.
The Twins, on the other hand, saw their early drought carry on longer and have experienced a more rapid correction, with nine wins in their past 11 games. They remain 13 games under .500, but will look to continue their march toward respectability this week against Chicago.
Prior to the season, most people expected the Tigers, White Sox and Twins to battle for the AL Central crown. With the latter two climbing steadily while the Indians free-fall (they've dropped 11 of their last 15), we may be seeing the cream rise to the top.
But Detroit isn't going away, so these are critical games for the teams set to compete at Target Field tonight and tomorrow. With Alexi Casilla and Ben Revere setting the tone for the offense (and Tsuyoshi Nishioka likely to be activated for tonight's game), the Twins will employ a speed-based, small-ball approach that prompted Ozzie Guillen to token the "piranhas" nickname several years ago.
If the Twins can effectively implement this game plan and win, as they have consistently over the past couple weeks, we can expect plenty of effuse praise for the scrappy bunch from Ron Gardenhire. And Guillen, of course.

Colorado has seen better times. With a good part of the state effected by the flash floods. One group thought they would help lift spirits by handing out free weed.
Daniel R. Ricketts of Berne NY was found dead this weekend near Thacher Park on Saw Road. Albany County Sheriff, Craig Apple said the 50 year old man had apparently fell victim to booby traps he had set himself.
A New Hampshire man's YouTube video channel lands him jail after posting instructional videos on growing pot.
An angry citizen tries to point out to the police that there is a crowd of people smoking weed. And to his dismay the cops said they knew. At a 4/20 celebration in P.A. police stood by and watched as a crowd sparked up in a local park.
No matter if you're for or against it legalizing - One thing can be said: True Stoners do nothing to help their cause in most cases; This being one of them.
Last year the citizens of Colorado approved the law to make Marijuana legal in the state. Now comes a recommendation that pot be made legal for all visitors of the state too.
I can't blame this guy one bit. I don't have a giant pot stash, but if I did you'd better believe I would be guarding it with a five foot man eating dinosaur. Locks can be broken, but nobody messes with an alligator. Well, maybe Steve Erwin, but that dude's dead!
Who says Potheads aren't community oriented? A weed dealer in Brooklyn, NY saw the devastation caused by Super-storm Sandy and decided to help, by having a weed sale with the proceeds being donated to the victims.
This could have only been made worse if she forced him to wear a sign with a lame "Psyche" joke.
A hundred - yes, 100, pounds of marijuana plants as well as another hundred pounds of processed marijuana was seized in the town of Summit.

YouTube vlogger Benton Sorensen filmed the moment he came out as trans to his college classmates
When a teacher sets you a project, thinking of an appropriate theme can be very difficult.
So when Benton Sorensen's professor assigned the class an 'inspiration' project, he looked no further than himself to be the subject.
The video, uploaded to his YouTube channel, shows him bravely giving his presentation to his class and telling them all about his background.
Through a series of stories and old photos, he tells his new classmates he is transgender.
Star of new sitcom The McCarthys spent years trying to avoid the family business
Now that a few episodes of the CBS sitcom The McCarthys have aired, it's clear that lead Tyler Ritter is a chip off the old block.
The young actor not only looks very much like his late father, Three's Company star John Ritter, he also seems to have inherited some of his comic timing and onscreen charisma.
But the younger Ritter told Gay Star News Monday (10 October) that he fought for years against following in the footsteps of his dad and his older brother, Jason Ritter, who has starred in several TV series.
Interview process also forces applicants to reveal their HIV status or if they've had a 'transsexual operation'
A Christian university in South Korea has told gay people they are not welcome to apply for jobs on their campus.
'Drinking, smoking and homosexuality are not allowed,' the ad for an English language teacher job posted by Korea Nazarene University reads.
The full job application also includes a 'self health check list'. Questions include 'Are OR were you HIV (AIDS) positive?' and 'Have you had transsexual operation? [sic]'.
University officials claim LGBTI people do not meet the 'requirements' needed to be a teacher at the school.
Italian schoolteacher fails at actually teaching her pupils facts
A religious education teacher is under investigation after allgedly telling students homosexuality is a 'curable illness'.
The headmaster of the school in Turin, Italy, said he considers the incident as 'serious' and will be dealt with internally.
The investigation was opened at the Itis Pininfarina school after the RE teacher told a class of 16-year-olds that 'gay cures' were 'scientifically proven'.
A US jilted lover sent nude photos of his ex-boyfriend to his teacher colleagues in an attempt to get him fired, but it was him who ended up in the hands of the police
A jilted US man sent x-rated nudes of his former boyfriend to his colleagues at the school where he worked in an attempt to get him fired.
38-year-old David Galvan leaked the nude photos of his ex-boyfriend Richard Rosa, 31, who is a teacher at John Muir High School in Pasadena, California, US.
Galvan was angry their relationship had ended, so he sent the nudes in an attempt to get Rosa fired.
He hacked into his email account and sent 4 nude photos to over 200 of Rosa's colleagues with the subject line 'Enjoy'.
Linda Wall denies the statistics of LGBTI teen suicides and believes being gay is an 'addiction akin to drugs'
A former gym teacher who had sex with an underage girl has now set up a group to fight the 'evils' of homosexuality.
Linda Wall, an ex-politician and once a candidate for the Virginia House of Representatives, is a leader in the 'ex-gay movement'.
Setting up a group called Virginia Mass Resistance, she denies the statistics of LGBTI youth suicide rates in the US and believes homosexuality is akin to being addicted to drugs.
As part of Hate Crime Awareness Week, pupils at Sheringham High School road tested a new 'Stop Homophobic Bullying' education pack
Pictured here are Year 8 pupils at Sheringham High School in Norfolk, England. To coincide with Hate Crime Awareness Week, the students took part in a pilot scheme last week for a new education pack to tackle homophobic bullying.
The resource, entitled Stop Homophobic Bullying, was created by the county's BLAH LGBTI Youth group – which has been providing support for young lesbian, gay and bisexual people in the Norfolk area since 2007.
He made a huge mistake
A Swedish teacher and photographer was sacked on the same day he dared to call a student 'fag', it was reported today (20 October).
The Helsingborg schoolteacher, who has not been named in the report, was asked to take pictures of the new classes earlier this month.
'Fag number one, you can stand over here,' he allegedly shouted at one of the students.
That was a big mistake.
The photo shoot was stopped, and the school's principal was summoned. The offended boy in question went to call his parents.
A Primary School in the English town of Newhaven has introduced 'gender neutral' toilets for pupils in an effort to tackle transphobia
Boys and girls, aged between 4 and 11, returned from their summer break last month to discover that they were now able to share toilet facilities at Harbour Primary and Nursery School in Church Hill, Newhaven, East Sussex.
When pupils reported this change to their parents, some complained to the school about not being notified in advance.
This prompted a letter of explanation from the head teacher, Christine Terrey, and an invitation to attend a meeting on 'preventing transphobia'.
A number of parents were unhappy with measures that the school has taken to highlight diversity and equality at the school
A small number of teachers have had an angry confrontation with Jamie Barry, the head teacher of Welford Primary School in Birmingham, England, over his efforts to promote diversity and inclusion within the school.
Around six police officers were called to attend the school on Friday morning (3 Oct) after a number of parents expressed anger at a parents forum meeting in the school hall.
According to the BBC, Mr Barry had to be escorted from the building for his own safety.
Elly Barnes, CEO and Founder of the UK's Educate & Celebrate organization, says that the decision whether the come out or not remains a pressing concern for LGBT teachers today
Despite Section 28 being repealed in the United Kingdom 11 years ago, being 'out' is still an issue for many teachers today. A recent trainee of mine enthusiastically began to make their school LGBT-friendly only to be told by a senior leader that they couldn't… because of Section 28!
That notorious piece of legislation, which barred local authorities from 'promoting' LGBT issues, was repealed in 2003. We had to wait a further seven years for the Equality Act in 2010, which ensured LGBT be treated 'equally and fairly'.
Machinery teacher allowed other students to take pictures and tease his prank victim

Daniel Mark Ogloff has defended his actions as 'horseplay' after he slapped a 'I'm Gay' sticker on the Grade 11 student's back.
He is a metal fabrication and machining teacher at Aldergrove Community Secondary School in Lnagley, British Columbia.
During a class last year, he let the boy leave class unaware after he affixed the tape on his back. The teacher allowed other students to take pictures and tease him.
Matt McCormick and Travis McIntosh got legally hitched in order to win a competition to attend the next Rugby World Cup
To the anger of many LGBT rights campaigners, two heterosexual men in New Zealand have gone ahead with their marriage to one another this morning.
They did so as a stunt, as part of a competition run by a local radio station, in order to win tickets to the Rugby World Cup in the UK in 2015.
The Catholic school accused the 16-year-old of sexual harassment after seeing a photo of him kissing his boyfriend
Gay 16-year-old Colombian Sergio Urrego killed himself last month after persecution by his Catholic school.
His mother only recently spoke to the media about her son's suicide.
She said the ordeal started in May when a teacher at Gimnasio Castillo Campestre school in the Colombian capital Bogotá saw a photo of her son kissing his boyfriend on his phone. He confiscated it and the boys were sent to the school psychologist.
His boyfriend of a month and a half was forced to tell his parents about his sexuality and was withdrawn from the school.
Two male best friends are getting married to win a trip to the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England
Two best friends from New Zealand will get married tomorrow in order to win a trip to the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England.
Engineering student Travis McIntosh, 23, and teacher Matt McCormick, 24, will say their rubgy-related vows in front of 60 family and friends in Auckland to win the radio competition.
McIntosh told the Otago Daily Times, 'We are not here to insult anyone. We are here to do our own thing and travel our own path.
'It's just seeing how far two good mates would go to win a trip to the Rugby World Cup.
The 'gay' chair, the child called 'it', the girl hit with a softball bat and the kids who think it's ok to use anti-LGBTI language as long as it's to their friends
Classroom commotions never bode well, even at the best of times. This was not the best of times: this was half past eight on a Monday morning in an unfamiliar school.
The problem, it transpired, was there were precisely 23 chairs in the room. There were 23 students - the math seemed simple enough. 'But look!' came the anguished howl, in a tone so plaintive I half expected the chair to be riddled with spikes.
Instead, a crude hand had wittily scrawled on it 'whoeva sits on this cHair is gay' [sic].
Emily Fox will serve a jail sentence for having an affair with the 15-year-old female student, after their messages to each other were exposed
A UK teacher has been jailed for 15 months for having sex with one of her students.
Emily Fox, a 26-year-old PE teacher at the all girls Royal Masonic School in Hertfordshire, will serve a 15-month sentence for having sex with a female student who was just 15 years old at the time.
It is reported the pair had many secret meetings, sex on several occasion and exchanged 'hundreds' of text messages.
The affair came to light when the student, who cannot be named, tried to print out a message Fox had sent to her.
A 32-year-old hopes to finally see justice after years of dealing with alleged sexual abuse
A gay man has claimed a male teacher at his Baptist school raped him weekly for three years to 'make him hate men'.
Jeff White, 32, has opened up about the horrific 'gay cure' he faced during the 1990s at a school in Walls, Mississippi.
His parents sent him to the school after he came out to them when he was 14 in 1996. The school's curriculum was and still is Bible based, with 'every student being taught the truths of God's word'.
'I came out as a gay teacher in a whole-school assembly in 2010. Today, four years later, I just received this email. Wow.'
In 2010, teacher David Weston made an incredible decision.
He decided to come out to the entirety of Watford Grammar School, in Hertfordshire, England.
And now, four years later, a former student has got in touch with him to thank him.
Writing on Twitter, he said: 'I came out as a gay teacher in a whole-school assembly in 2010. Today, four years later, I just received this email. Wow.'
It reads:
Hi David,
For a same-sex couple in Merseyside, adoption provided the answer to their dreams of motherhood
When gay male couples think about starting a family, the options most usually explored are adoption, surrogacy or an arrangement with a willing female friend. When a female couple or single woman wants to have children, then sperm donation or IVF treatment are the methods often utilised. However, not all women want – or are able – to give birth to their own kids, and for them, fostering and adoption are a more likely route to family life.
26-year old Emily Fox has pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual activity with a female student
A lesbian PE teacher in England must register as a sex offender after pleading guilty to having sex with an underage student.
Emily Fox has pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual activity with the minor, whom Fox met at the Royal Masonic School for girls in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire.
In the United Kingdom, the age of consent is 16.
The incidents reportedly occurred from 2012 to 2013, during the year term Fox was teaching at the school.
When bullies attacked Liam Hackett he thought he was going to die – and was secretly relieved. Now his charity is fixing the problem for other kids
You know that awkward feeling you get when you go to a party with your friend without knowing anybody else there and your friend disappears?
Without even realizing, fears of rejection quickly set in and you're left feeling incredibly self-conscious. As a safety barrier, you subtly pull out your mobile and act nonchalant whilst frantically trying to figure out where your mate went.
Maybe it doesn't happen to you anymore, but we can all relate to that distinctive feeling of dread mixed with heightened self-awareness.
The Minister for Education has warned a headmistress that her school could lose funding if it is found she fired a teacher for being gay
A Catholic school could lose its public funding if it is found they fired a teacher for being gay.
Italy's Ministry of Education has launched an investigation into the Trento school after a teacher spoke out about being sacked to protect the school's 'ethics'.
Eugenia Libratore, the headmistress of Sacro Cuore, reportedly said she decided not to renew the 'adequate and professional' teacher's contract because she 'has the school's environment to protect' and 'moral ethics' to preserve.
76-year-old former social studies teacher Jim Gaylord, fired as a teacher for being gay in 1972, finally got an apology from Washington's Tacoma School Board on Sunday
76-year-old Jim Gaylord has received an apology for the termination that ended his teaching career 42 years ago.
Gaylord was fired from Wilson High School in Tacoma, Washington, in 1972 after the local school board learned that he was gay after 12 years of teaching social studies at the school.
The school found out after a gay student at the school who knew an adult friend of Gaylord's had sought out his counsel about his sexual orientation.
Gaylord did not confirm his sexual orientation to the student but gave him advice.

Trade Analysis: Bishop Takes ConacherSubmitted by chad on April 3, 2013 - 14:37
Tampa Bay Lightning Rookie of the Year candidate and reigning AHL Most Valuable Player Cory Conacher was traded with a fourth round pick to the Ottawa Senators for goaltender Ben Bishop today.
Bishop, 6-foot-7, 214 pounds, has played in 13 games with the Senators this season, posting an 8-5-1 record with a 2.58 goals-against average and a .922 save percentage. He also has one shutout. Bishop's eight wins are tied for the team lead, while he ranks tied for eighth in the NHL for save percentage among goaltenders with 10 or more games played. He also played in 13 games with the Binghamton Senators of the AHL this season, posting an 8-3-2 record with a 2.59 goals-against average and a .928 save percentage.
Prospect of the Week: March 27, 2013Submitted by chad on March 27, 2013 - 11:35
We continue our Prospect of the Week award, an honor (virtually) given to one Tampa Bay Lightning prospect for their recent contributions on and off the ice.
The Prospect of the Week for March 27 is … Tyler Johnson, C, Tampa Bay (NHL – USA).
Undrafted and undersized, Tyler Johnson has been huge for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
What to Expect from Jon CooperSubmitted by chad on March 25, 2013 - 21:40
I was hoping I'd get to write this.
"#TampaCuse" went on steroids Monday as Tampa Bay announced that Syracuse coach Jon Cooper is joining his 10 former students with the Lightning as head coach.
Cooper's story is well documented. He was a practicing lawyer who had a dream to be a hockey coach and then went out and won a billion games and a handful of championships.
Prospect of the Week: March 19, 2013Submitted by chad on March 19, 2013 - 15:42
We continue our Prospect of the Week award, an honor (virtually) given to one Tampa Bay Lightning prospect for their recent contributions on and off the ice.
The Prospect of the Week for March 19 is … Dylan Blujus, D, Brampton (OHL – Canada).
For years Lightning prospect followers have pounded their fists on their computer tables in demand of a right-handed defenseman capable of impacting a game at both ends of the ice. They got their wish last June when the Bolts selected Brampton (OHL) defenseman Dylan Blujus in the second round (40th overall).
Blujus had just completed a 34-point season with the Battalion and was a prime candidate for a breakout season offensively in 2012-2013.
That hasn't exactly happened for the young Amherst, New York, native, as he just finished his third OHL season with fewer goals and points than his second season despite playing more games. Not everything shows up on the stat sheet, obviously, and Blujus has further developed his physical game while playing big minutes for a defense-first club.
What to Expect from Tyler JohnsonSubmitted by chad on March 14, 2013 - 13:01
Two years and one week ago, Tyler Johnson's mind was on two WHL scoring titles and helping his hometown Spokane Chiefs increase its win totals.
The undrafted, undersized sniper had no clear track for his hockey career when the Tampa Bay Lightning came calling and signed the free agent to a three-year entry-level contract.
His race to the NHL was now set, but how quickly he'd break through the ribbon was up to him.
He immediately rewarded the Lightning by finishing tops in the WHL in goals with 53 in 2011, and was just one point shy of being its top scorer with 115 points in 71 games.
The following year – his first year pro – Johnson made Lightning General Manager Steve Yzerman look like a genius when the Washington state native scored 31 goals and 68 points and was an integral part of a championship Norfolk Admirals team that went down as one of the best in AHL history.

Toyota faces largest-ever fine
Published: April 19,2010
Tags: automaker, automobile industry, fines, produce recall, product safety, Toyota
WASHINGTON — Toyota Motor Corp. is expected to agree to a fine of more than $16 million for failing to promptly report to the government problems with sticking gas pedals on its vehicles, a Transportation Department official said.
Toyota faces a deadline today to accept or contest the $16.4 million fine, the largest ever assessed by the government against an automaker, over evidence it knew about the defective gas pedals in September but did not issue a recall until January.
Under federal law, automakers are required to notify the government within five business days when they find a potential safety defect.
The Transportation official said Toyota is expected to pay the full amount of the fine within 30 days as a way of avoiding going to court against the government. The official was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke only on condition of anonymity.
The official said Toyota did not intend to admit wrongdoing explicitly but the company still faces dozens of personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits in federal courts. Federal prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission are conducting investigations related to the recalls.
From the government's viewpoint, the official said, the agreement to pay the full fine constituted an acceptance of responsibility for hiding the safety defect in violation of the law.
Toyota declined comment on the fine.
Toyota announced it would recall 2.3 million vehicles in January to address sticking pedals on popular vehicles such as the Camry and Corolla. The Japanese automaker has recalled more than 8 million vehicles worldwide because of acceleration problems in multiple models and braking issues in the Prius hybrid.
The fine was based upon timelines provided by Toyota that showed it had known about the sticky pedal defect at least since Sept. 29, 2009, when it issued repair procedures to distributors in 31 European countries to address complaints of sticking pedals, sudden increases in engine RPM and unexpected vehicle acceleration.
The documents also indicated that Toyota knew that owners in the U.S. had experienced the same problems.
The Japanese automaker has been weighing its options since the fine was announced in early April but analysts expected it to pay the penalty.
"When you look at the toll it's taken on Toyota's reputation, when you look at the number of vehicles involved, when you look at the hardship it's placed on Toyota's customer base, it's only right for Toyota to take this fine," said Dennis Virag, president of Automotive Consulting Group based in Ann Arbor, Mich.
The penalty is the largest the government can assess under law. Without the cap, government lawyers said Toyota could have faced fines of $13.8 billion, or $6,000 for each of 2.3 million vehicles that were sold with defective pedals.
Transportation officials have not ruled out additional fines. The department is reviewing whether Toyota delayed for six weeks the late January recall of the 2009-2010 Venza in the United States to address floor mats that could entrap the accelerator pedal after making a similar recall in Canada.
Toyota recalled the Venza in Canada in December and reported to the U.S. government on Dec. 16 that the floor mats could move forward and interfere with the pedal. Toyota told U.S. authorities at the time that the floor mats in question were not imported into the U.S. but the Venza was added to the floor mat recall in late January.

''Star Trek: 25th Anniversary'' was the first [[AdventureGame adventure videogame]] based on the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' franchise, released in 1992 by ''Interplay''. The game, based on [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries The Original Series]], combines classic PointAndClick gameplay with furious space combat, and features pretty much every staple the series had to offer.
The game is built in "episodes", each of which is a stand-alone scenario. After receiving their mission from Starfleet and arriving at their destination, the principal characters (Kirk, Spock, [=McCoy=], and the obligatory RedShirt) beam down to investigate, and have to resolve the situation with skill and cunning. The use of inventory items, [[DialogueTree Dialogue Trees]] and standard actions is similar to many adventure games of the time. Each mission also has a space battle either at the beginning, end or sometimes in the middle - a fairly simple (though sometimes [[NintendoHard extremely difficult]]) 3D simulator played from the bridge of the Enterprise.
What perhaps makes ''25th Anniversary'' stand out among other ''Franchise/StarTrek'' games is its ability to capture the feel of the original series in pretty much every aspect. Missions begin with a fly-by of the enterprise and the name of the episode in yellow ''Franchise/StarTrek'' font. Space battles are accompanied by the fondly-remembered sounds of photon torpedoes and phasers, and you must use your bridge crew members constantly throughout the battle to manage your energy and repair the ship. The ship's computer is ready to provide you with lots of background information about the ships, planets and peoples you'll meet. On planetside, your RedShirt is likely to die first if you're not careful, Spock and [=McCoy=] will constantly banter with each other (and need to be "used" to perform actions suitable for them, like [=McCoy=] healing people or Spock examining machinery), and Kirk's [[KirkSummation particular method of oratory]] is prevalent throughout the entire game.
To make things even better, the entire cast of the original series gave their voices to the CD-ROM edition, including even Majel Barrett's voice for the computer. This finishing touch helps bring this game closer to the experience of actually playing Kirk and his teammates in a Trek episode.
Though each episode is individual, not connected to the others in terms of storyline, the player is still given a score at the end of the game based on his performance throughout. Most importantly, the player has to take care to conduct diplomacy and seek the peaceful resolution for each episode. In particular, the death of the RedShirt (though a staple of the series) must be avoided to achieve a perfect score.
''25th Anniversary'' is still considered one of the best ''Franchise/StarTrek'' games made, despite its final mission which consisted primarily of an [[NintendoHard incredibly difficult space battle]] (though it was replaced with an actual, very long mission on the CD-ROM edition -- followed by an incredibly difficult space battle and occasionally contained a serious [[{{Unwinnable}} bug]]).
A year later in 1993, Interplay reused the same PointAndClick engine to produce a sequel, called ''JudgmentRites''. In many regards, ''Judgment Rites'' is superior to ''25th Annivesary'', including both plot and gameplay. As TheOtherWiki states, many fans consider these two games to comprise the fourth and fifth years of the Enterprise's five-year mission (since the original series ran for only three seasons).
!!This work contains examples of the following tropes:
* [[HumanPopsicle Alien Popsicle]]: In the first mission, "Demon World", the Nauians placed themselves into stasis to survive an apocalypse. A [[{{Telepathy}} telepathic]] computer reads the minds of any intruder to their stasis facility, [[MasterOfIllusion quickly manufacturing robots that look like the intruder's most fearsome enemy]] to try and drive him away.
* BottleEpisode: The final mission on the CD-ROM version plays with the trope, taking place in a near identical "sister ship" to the ''Enterprise''.
** The subversive aspect is that, since the game never actually showed us any part of the ''Enterprise'' other than its bridge and transporter room, ''all of the scenes'' in this add-on mission had to be made entirely from scratch. In this way, they both played the trope straight from the TV series' perspective, and fully subverted it from the game's perspective, at the same time.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Most of the missions wouldn't be out of place in TOS, but the CD version of the final mission... put it this way, it makes the wreck of the ''Constellation'' in the TV episode "The Doomsday Machine" look '''tame'''. It starts with Kirk's horribly injured former Academy classmate (and it's implied former girlfriend) dying as she accuses Kirk of murdering the entire crew of the ''Republic''. Then you get to spend the rest of the mission trawling through the wrecked ship, and seeing first-hand the utter carnage that resulted.
* DoomsdayDevice: A race in nuclear warfare set one up on their moon. It didn't go off. A millennium later, when they worked their way up from the stone age back to radio technology, the moon base picked up the transmissions and rearmed itself, ready to land the blow for good. Fortunately, there's a virus in the system which you can have Kirk and the gang use to infect the missile launching system's timing and thus have the missiles launch harmlessly into space.
* GhostShip: The Enterprise discovers Harry Mudd staking a claim on one of these.
* HostageSituation: Mission 2, "Hijacked", where Elasi pirates do this to a Federation starship. There are [[MultipleEndings several possible endings]], and only one where everyone survives.
* ICantUseTheseThingsTogether: Kirk protests thusly, even when you order another crew-member to carry out the task. Read the trope article for more.
* MirrorMatch: And then some. The Enterprise has a battle against another (fake) Constitution-class starship, except it's armed to the teeth and accompanied by escorts.
* Multiple Endings: Most missions have several possible outcomes. Kirk's score at the end of each mission relies primarily on how the mission ended, though individual actions during the mission may also alter the score.
* MythologyGag: It wouldnt be ''Trek'' without 'em.
-->'''Lt. Buchert''': ''Captain, count your blessings! We haven't met any salt vampires, deranged computers, blood-draining clouds, cell imploding sirens, Greek gods, or any of the other things people keep telling me about in [[RedShirt security]].''
-->'''Kirk''' [who dealt every single one of those in TOS]: ''There's not much I wouldn't do to not have to deal with Mudd.''
* NintendoHard: See MirrorMatch, above.
* SufficientlyAdvancedAlien: Quetzalcoatl (yeah, the Aztec god) turns out to be one of these. And he's not happy about the human sacrifice.
* ShownTheirWork: The attention to detail is amazing on it's own, but to show how much the programmers really did their research, take half an hour to explore the database of Spock's library computer on the bridge. Information about every single planet visited by the Enterprise in the original series can be accessed, [[ContinuityNod among other things]].
* UnwinnableByMistake: Not in the original version of the game, but as more and more earlier games are put online, people have unfortunately discovered that the second mission is Unwinnable. In-game, when on the ship, the 'tab' key is supposed to switch between flying the ship, and interacting with characters on the bridge. Unfortunately, if playing the game on a website, 'tab' unfortunately still pages between locations on the page without being recognized by the game. Unwinnable By Outdated Controls?
* UpdatedRerelease: The CD-ROM edition. Not only did it include voice acting, it also had an entire landing team mission that was not seen in the original disk version.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: [[OnceAnEpisode Every mission]] there is always, ''always'' at least one method of getting your RedShirt killed off for shits and giggles. You do lose points for it, though.
** Also the one mission where you've got the option of releasing laughing gas (of both the Human and Vulcan variations) into the air of the station you're on. It's not ''that'' cruel, mind, but still...
*** There's another mission where you can end a hostage situation aboard another ship's bridge by beaming a bomb inside and blowing the bridge up, causing the ship to go out of control and crash into the planet it's orbiting. Expect Starfleet Command to ream you out for such an act of blatant dickery.
* WhatAnIdiot: Kirk's general reaction to learning that Mudd's bumbling with an ancient computer had its memory erased and an invaluable archaeological treasure is lost forever.[[invoked]]

Here are a few of the photos but for the entire album check our Facebook page. Thanks for reading!
It was a glorious day at DCCX with cool temps, bright sunshine, a great crowd, and cold beer waiting at the finish. I was really looking forward to this race because I rolled a tubeless tire on an off-camber rooted turn last year. I wasn't going to make the same mistake twice so I got myself a set of tubulars before this season. I need every advantage I can get in the very strong masters 1/2/3 field and the tubies help me take advantage of my strengths – handling and cornering.
I'd only done 1 race prior to DCCX and although I finished strong, my starting position in DC was 27th in a field of 35, not ideal with such a strong field. After a good warmup and just one practice lap, I rolled to the line. The start was pretty clean, a little slow around the first couple turns, but I managed to move up a few spots. The field quickly spread out and I settled in for 45 minutes of pain. My goal was to be clean, make up time in the corners, and be patient as I slowly made up time on the guys in front of me.
Like most cross races, every corner had a big impact on lap times and everything I did was at the limit. The limit of traction on every corner and the limit of how hard your body can work for 45-50 minutes. I didn't even bother to look at my heart rate, knowing I was at 90%+. At times, I felt both tires wanting to break loose. Only once, with 2 riders on my wheel, did I lose rear traction just for an instant and they got by. That's all it takes to lose 5-10 seconds.
Despite losing a couple spots on the one mistake, I managed to claw my way to 19th. For all the work, it felt like it should have been better, but racing as a cat 3 with 1's and 2's is tough.
The racing was clean and I had some great 1 on 1 battles along the way. It hurt like hell, but having teammates and friends out there yelling made a huge difference, as did the thought of a cold beer as a reward.]]>
We made our way out of camp just in front of a big group. Knowing the rocky section near the start I wanted to keep out of trouble and ahead of big groups. It was nice to see Ty Long of No Film Photography snapping shots. His album of photos can be found here. Ahead lay close to 70 miles of super-fun singletrack and a day that was classic Fall.
Soon after we left the slippery rocks and wet wood bridges claimed their first victim. I didn't hear anything but a thud and the sound of air leaving Harris' lungs as he hit the deck first and his bike soon after. The wood was so slippery his bike slipped out and oddly enough his side landed first. You know it's slick when you hit before your bike does. Abbott was amazed he got up quickly and pushed on like nothing had happened. A fall like that can end a day quickly but Harris (6 weeks out from surgery for a broken collar bone) is a tough character. Onward.
It's important to take the time to snap a photo or two on mornings like this.
The older I get the more I enjoy events like the Moco. Getting to ride with your friends and team, see people you might never ride with otherwise and celebrate riding your bike in the woods. Such a simple thing I've done since I was a little kid, it will never grow old.
It wasn't long before a large group caught us from behind. I got caught up with their riders and realized I was ahead of our small group. I did my best to wait but the temps were still chilly and once my legs were warmed up they didn't want to stand around, soon I hammered on. My day was fantastic and my ride was all I wanted it to be. Even the 4 or 5 crashes on slippery roots didn't diminish my fun. Well the one time I toppled over a few rocks and cracked both my helmet and Garmin 1000 left me a little dazed and bummed at the replacement cost but that's part of this sport I love so much.
While I don't have any photos of him, Erik had a great time on his shorter loop and we caught up over beers. I have to give a special shout out to Tim Abbott who could have done his 70 miles on a full suspension but instead he loaned me a back wheel and used his backup – an old hard tail. It's a good friend who will sacrifice comfort over 70 miles to let a buddy ride with him. And thanks to everyone involved with the Moco Epic – if you haven't done this event you really should. It's well worth the effort. -JB
After having a tough season battling through health issues, Alex Rapavi never wavered on his participation with the team. If he couldn't race, he found other ways to contribute. Adopting a highway was a great idea and nearly everyone on the team chipped in to help.
This past weekend we banded together and walked both sides of Military Road from Lorcom Lane down to Old Glebe and even down the steep, dangerous hill to Chain Bridge. We swept, cleared and cleaned every inch.
We took it one step further and checked the streams that cross under this road to be sure road-side trash wasn't making its way downstream into the Potomac.
Considering there is no shoulder on the hill down to Chain Bridge the danger factor was at a 10 but we still got every step of the road and ditch cleaned.
We left no stone unturned and filled over a dozen large trash bags. A special thank you to both Lindsay VW for our team car which followed the group as a support vehicle as well as Dogfish Alehouse for providing the motivation to finish hard and recover with 60 Minute IPA.]]>
Up at 5 am to the gong going off around the campground, I ate my bagel and got to the start line. At 6:30 we rolled out and while I was positioned well towards the front, the pace was much higher than I expected on the rolling climbs and I had to back it down knowing it would be a long day. I also dropped my chain on one climb and this all contributed to me not being in the best position going into the first singletrack climb.
I got caught in the traffic jam and ended up having to walk several sections. This also put me behind some slower riders on the first downhill, which is a shame because it would've have been super fun at full speed. The second climb of the day did a lot more damage to me than I anticipated, it was very steep and required a lot of walking. I had a little more room to run on the downhill and held my position pretty well overall.
Next was the tough climb up Hankey Mountain. I lost some ground on the gravel road portion on the bottom, but actually made up some positions on the steep kickers towards the top because I refused to walk while everyone else around me was. Again, a fairly clear path on the amazingly fun downhill (with a few passes thrown in there) and it was on to the next climb.
Brailey's was where the wheels started to come off. I didn't realize it at the time but the 90 degree heat was starting to get to me along with all of the climbing, and this technical, singletrack climb just destroyed me. I felt like I could barely stand up when I had to get off the bike, and realizing I was only about halfway done at this stage was very tough mentally. I walked a lot, but pressed on and had a mistake free downhill followed by a strong run on the following flatter gravel section with a good group to keep the pace up on the way over to the Death Climb. I then went up the death climb very, very, very slow.
I was having major issues with heat exhaustion as evidenced by the volunteers at Aid 5 commenting on how pale I looked. After a slice of pizza and a dousing of cold water by the excellent volunteer who helped me…It was off to finish the last few miles before the trail turned down. Again, I was fortunate to have a clear path on the downhill, and recovered enough to actually enjoy it a little bit. After that it was pure survival mode to the finish.
I didn't come anywhere near my goal time of 10 hours, but it was certainly the hardest thing I've ever done, and I'm happy I was able to finish (with no lights too…) The conditions were very tough with the extreme heat, but I was also fortunate to not have any major bike issues. Overall a good accomplishment for me, and now that I know what to expect, I will certainly be back to improve on the time.

Editor's Note: Matt had done a lot of homework for this race and I hope he realizes it took the editor 5 tries to break 10 hours. Congrats for toughing it out Matt, Cheers!]]>
Amidst the hoopla JB was at the People for Bikes booth helping get e-mails for the cycling cause. If you want your voice included when People for Bikes talk to law makers, add it here! It only takes a second.
Is that wedding bells we hear??
A sure sign of summer is the start of the Wednesday at Wakefield race series hosted by Potomac Velo. Going strong for over 15 years this local series attracts talent from all over the Mid-Atlantic. Gripped Racing had podiums each of the 4 weeks of racing.
After lawn darting off a drop at Fountain Head, JB broke his shoulder and had time to do some video editing. The 2014 Gripped Racing Team Video is here:
After returning from the Tour JB had plenty of great stuff to raffle off for our team fundraiser. All our sponsors donated fantastic gear and prizes helping GR to raise over $3,000!
The money went to AutismSpeaks.org through Bike 2 The Beach, a fundraiser introduced to our team by our new sponsor Lindsay Volkswagen. We had a fantastic day of biking to the beach and plan to make it a team event next year.
With our fundraising goals met, 5 from GR pedaled from Arlington to Dewey Beach, Delaware in one of the best group rides ever. We highly recommend you join us next year!
Lindsay Volkswagen of Sterling let us shoot our team photo on their front step – thanks also to Jay Westcott for snapping such a fantastic image!
For most of us things slowed down a bit in August, but Jason Harris found his form and began snatching up podiums at the local Mountain Bike races.
Just as he was peaking, Harris took a nasty fall and broke his collar bone. So far he's had one surgery and we hope that's it.
Matt Lee was busy putting in long miles at the Assault on Mount Mitchell read his words in this separate post. He then took on the Shenandoah Mountin 100 and found it … well you can read about that in a few days.
Worth another mention is our awesome new sponsor Lindsay VW. Everywhere we go the new team wagon attracts attention.
It's been a fantastic summer and while we hate to see it go we embrace Fall and all the riding/racing we plan to pack in before another Winter. Look for us at the following events:
September 27th Team Cleanup of Military Road (Adopt a Highway Program)
Mabra Cross Series http://www.super8cx.org/
Oct 5 Iron Cross
Oct 12 Moco Epic
Oct 18th Oktoberfest at Lindsay Volkswagen in Sterling
Oct 26th Racedots will have a booth at the Marine Corp Marathon Expo
Date TBD: Skills Clinic at Schaeffer with dinner at Dogfish Alehouse
Au Revoir Summer!
ORAMM is one of those special races that start in town before heading into the mountains, which I always think is a really cool feature. We had 500 mountain bikers lined up at the town square. As soon as we hit single track, I started picking people off (roadies…pfff). And then we hit the first real downhill and the fun began. I was following the wheel of a fellow former motocross racer, and we absolutely tore it up. Trail was just wide enough and fast enough to allow passing, and we probably put away 50 people on a 3 mile downhill. very fun. And that's pretty much how the rest of the race went – although as the race wore on I held my own a little better on the climbs as everyone tired out, and then I could make my moves on the downhills. The main downhill of Heartbreak Ridge (about a 6-8 mile straight down hill singletrack) was timed as an Enduro segment, and I made it my personal mission to tear it up. After the 10 mile climb to get to the top I actually felt pretty strong, so I politely asked a group waiting to start the technical downhill to kindly let me pass. Thankfully they did.
I ended up making up a ton of ground again, passing people left and right, and ended up with a 30th place overall on the Enduro in Open Men including Pro's. Extremely pleased with my result, finishing in 6:49, over an hour faster than my time from 2 years ago and well under my goal time of 7 hours. It was also awesome to see my cousin Dave come in 4th Overall with a smoking time of under 5 hours! Overall a great experience – Bike was perfect, nutrition was perfect, felt strong and in control all day. After a beer, a pasta dinner, and a little relaxing, it was time was hop back in the VW wagon and cruise on back home.
In order to bring all of our bikes and to have a vehicle while there, we decided to drive the 2000+ miles from Arlington. With light traffic and high speed limits (up to 80mph in some states), the trip was long but manageable. The contrast between the mid-western crop fields, Wyoming desert, and peaks of the Rockies and Wasatch mountains is incredible, well worth the long drive.
We quickly settled into the townhouse we rented on the outskirts of Old Town Park City, about a 5-10 minute bike ride on the rail trail to town. My wife and girls quickly learned their way around on foot and via bike. I connected with an old friend who is also a cyclist and he showed me the lay of the land. He pointed me to a great organization called mountaintrails.org that publishes an excellent paper map that is free, with a small donation, at all bike shops, plus they have an on-line version that shows trail conditions.
I had 2 main goals for the summer. First, I wanted to ride as much of the trail system as possible, which was challenging since I was also working. Second, I really wanted my wife and girls to have a positive first experience on the dirt. I knew Park City would have amazing intermediate to expert level riding, but I was surprised to learn of the huge network of trails for beginners. From our house, we could spin down the rail trail to Round Valley, which is well known for its great cross-country skiing in the winter. It has really fun, twisty single track, some climbing if you choose, and easy double track for younger kids. My wife daughters had never ridden single track, but my 11 year old and wife loved the terrain and challenge of the twisty turns, small rocks, and punchy climbs.
I spent a lot of time all over PCMR and the surrounding areas and loved every minute, but one ride in particular stands out as the best. Climb the various routes from Old Town to the top of PCMR, reaching the summit either via Pinecone Ridge or Puke Hill, then keep riding around the back of PCMR on the Wasatch Ridge trail. This is a super fun single track route that traverses the ridge between Park City and Big Cottonwood Canyon, heading north toward The Canyons on the right and Mill Creek Canyon on the left. It dumps out at the top of The Canyons, where you drop down to the Mid-Mountain trail to head back on very lightly travelled sections to Park City. At a moderate pace, it takes about 4 hours to do the 35+ miles and over 4500 feet of climbing. Epic ride and a must-do in Park City. Here's a Strava link to the route:
There's also some excellent road riding in the Park City area, including the infamous climbs up Empire Pass, Guardsman Pass, both Cottonwood Canyons, and Wolf Creek Canyon. I had the 'pleasure' of riding to Guardsman from Heber Valley, which was part of this year's Tour of Utah. That climb is 7.5 miles with an average grade of 8%, with many pitches around 15% (ride profile here: http://www.strava.com/activities/171871164). I had no idea what to expect when I started this climb and there were times when it was tough just to turn the pedals. It was especially difficult because of the unseasonably hot weather, but I reached the top and had time to take in the view as my buddy Matt reached the summit.
My daughter Hanna also had the opportunity to do a mountain bike camp and on their last day, they did the famous Mid-Mountain Trail, a great trail about 1500 feet above town that runs from Deer Valley through Park City Mountain Resort (PCMR) then on to The Canyons. She took her share of spills on the challenging terrain but ended with a smile on her face.
Park City turned out to be a world-class destination for cycling and training. I'm looking forward to using the fitness to race cyclocross and enjoy mountain bike rides with the team this fall. Thanks for reading. -Rob
We got to the start where co-founder Robby Walsh was already on the bullhorn getting the 500+ riders assembled—not an easy task. He was worrying about the missing police who were supposed to escort us out of town.
As Kim got her aero-braids installed, Alex Manente joined with his gorgeous, loaned Pinarello Dogma with Di2 electronic shifting, hydraulic brakes and Zipp 303 disc wheels—a sight to behold. We were all a bit groggy but excited. None of us had ever been part of this event or traveled from D.C. to Dewey Beach via bicycle.
As with the start of any big ride or race, the potential for crashes is much greater in the middle of the pack, so we made our way to the front during staging. When the ride departed, we had only a few in front of us, but with potholes seemingly appearing out of nowhere and people swerving to avoid them, it forced a good deal of focus for 5:00 am.
As we pushed to pace to avoid the fray, Alex dropped out of sight as he had stopped to help a rider with a flat tire. We wouldn't see him again until the end. Impressive as ever, Harris was right at the front taking fast pulls on his mountain bike.
One of the things I love about cycling is it forces you to clear you mind and focus on the task at hand, especially when surrounded by other cyclists who might not be used to pack riding. It only takes a split second for someone to forget that if they suddenly move 12 inches to either side, they might catch the front tire of someone behind them and cause a horrible accident—which is exactly what happened about 20 miles in.
Personally I'm always slightly terrified when I see triathlon (or time trial) bikes in a pack, because it's quite hard to keep a bike from swerving while steering with your elbows and straining to keep the pace high. While I gave some extra space around these riders, unfortunately the guy right beside me in the Peter Sagan kit did not. One sketchy twitch in front of him, and Sagan hit the deck going 24 mph.
The safest action when you're at the front of a bunch is not to look back in the event of a crash, so we pedaled on. With 500+ riders right behind us, I knew he'd get plenty of help. I figured him off to a hospital, however cyclists can be a tough, stubborn bunch. He caught up to us at mile 60, no worse for the wear, still hammering. I should have taken a photo of his torn kit and bloodied legs, but I was too impressed with his determination.
We passed Kimberly's fav coffee shop *ding!* While it was a bit overcast, the ride over the Annapolis bridge was impressive.

The aid stations were great with volunteers yelling and encouraging everyone. The sun tried to poke out now and then, but I think most of us were happy to not bake in heat. I'm not sure if higher temps would have slowed down Kim who had a borrowed pair of Zipp 404's. She was constantly driving the pace and showing us boys who was the most fit. She easily could have dropped us but chose to hang back and keep it fun.

I always wish I took more photos, but thankfully Ty and Abram were there to get some shots, including this one of Jerry Holloway who manages the Lindsay VW dealership.
A big thank you to all the Lindsay family for encouraging us to participate with them in this very worthwhile event. They helped Gripped Racing raise over $3,000 through BikeToTheBeach.Org benefiting AutismSpeaks.Org !!
For the most part cars gave us room, and we arrived to Dewey in good shape.
Alex took his time and arrived a bit behind us but no less thrilled to have put in an honest day of work on a beautiful machine. He finished the longest ride of his cycling career with 104 miles in the bag.
We have to give a big shout out to Steph who is nursing an Achilles injury and could not join, but she still stepped up to support by driving half of us back in the team car. All said and done, Bike to the Beach is a very well-run event and one I'd highly recommend for anyone in the Mid-Atlantic region. See you there next year!
