Swimming Stones / Isaac(squared)
A kinetic water sculpture fountain sculpted by internationally acclaimed artist Christian Tobin Isaac(squared) brings Aurora the most mysterious essence of both science and art. Here the hydrostatic force of water unleashing the kinetic energy of stone creates a work of compelling vitality inviting us to look and linger, talk and even dream. These four massive granite obelisks - 12 feet in height, weighing 4000 pounds each- feature top-stone segments, rhythmically rocking and swiveling, balanced on cushions of water. Each time a top-stone centers itself on the middle of its tower and is restored to equilibrium, the power of gravity is once more proclaimed: each turn of a stone replying to the center of the earth. The elemental effect of the force of water through each of these commanding rock pillars cascading onto the pedestrian walk below brings us together with the laws of nature and the transformational power of art.

Memories of my father
At the funeral home, relatives said they looked forward to the column. But my turn in the Good Morning rotation came and went, and I wrote about another topic.
It's one thing to write about the death of an aunt or an uncle. A bit of emotional distance made it easier to write about those influential people in my life.
But this one's tough.
My father died Jan. 12, and I've thought about him every day since. Life's great mystery doesn't hit you in the face until you see it leave with somebody you love.
I can't tell you how many times I've been reminded about my father.
Every time I get out the snowblower, I'm reminded because I'm using his snowblower. A few years ago, he was too weak to pull the starter rope and thought something was wrong with it. He took it to the shop for repairs.
It needed no more tinkering than someone younger with the strength to pull the darn cord.
The other day, I went through my Lands' End work bag -- my wife calls it the "magic bag'' because long-lost items reappear there -- and found four photographs.
They included a great photo of my mom and dad, smiling; another one was an equally great treasure of my father and his grandchildren, all smiling.
I have no idea why those photos were in that bag. I don't ever remember putting them there.
However they got there, they were a comforting find.
Another reminder: I just completed former Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher and current color broadcaster Steve Blass' autobiography. It was one of the last two books that my father read, months before his eyesight deteriorated to the point that he no longer could make out the food on the dinner plate a few inches in front of him.
Dad said he consumed the book in two days. I believe him, because it's such a good read. It's that rare athlete's memoir -- unflinching in life's details, good and bad.
The Pirates, the Steelers and Pitt football kept my father occupied in retirement. He was an usher both at Heinz Field and PNC Park and saw hundreds of games during that time.
But long before the two new ballparks were built, I took my father to the press box for a Pirates game at the former Three Rivers Stadium, sometime in the 1980s. (It was a different era then.)
I've always worked on the news side, but early in my career I also wrote dozens of sports columns.
Anyway, I told my father we would go to the visiting clubhouse before the game, where I would interview former Pirates center fielder/first baseman Al Oliver.
My instructions to Dad were simple: Just listen. We approached Oliver, and I asked for an interview.
He agreed but told us to sit on stools while he finished sorting his mail.
I asked questions for about 10 minutes and got pretty standard answers. None were exceptional.
I thanked Oliver and shut off my tape recorder and started to get up. Then I heard a voice.
"Just one more question, Al.'' It was my father. He praised his career and, in so many words, asked how he did it for 19 years.
I shot him a look that said, "What are you doing?" But Oliver opened up, and I turned on my recorder.
It was a story that we told often over the years, and one that I repeated to visitors in the nursing home and at the funeral home.
To be honest, that distant memory gave me the strength to write this. The more recent reminders are still too raw.

MARTINSBURG - In the world of dance, dancers are often looking for fresh and new choreography, and Taresa Grubb of Tari Jo's Dance Studio has managed to do just that.
Not only will Tari Jo's 21st annual dance recital feature traditional ballet, modern, jazz and hip hop dance styles, but Grubb has partnered with Rick's Karate to incorporate the strong and precises movements of martial arts and choreograph it to music.
"I'm really excited about my dances," Grubb said. "This year we have a few numbers being performed by Rick's Karate to music, we have an all boys hip-hop class, and five different soloists performing."
Article Photos
While Grubb said there are just simply too many numbers for her to list them all, there are a few special dances other than Rick's Karate that will highlight the show.
Performing to the theme of a "Picture Perfect Prom," dancers will be performing a 20-minute large ensemble jazz piece. Hitting the stage in multi-colored tutus, the advanced ballet group will be performing an energetic piece choreographed by Greta Pinyan to a compilation of songs by the band Queen. The advanced pointe students will be performing a tribute to mothers, including a song by the sultry all-girl country group Pistol Annies.
"It's basically a tribute to housewives," Grubb said with a chuckle. "Our job is never accomplished."
The all male hip-hop class consists of 20 dancers ranging in age from 4 to 17 years old. They will be performing to "Thrift Shop," by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.
Solists performing in this year's recital are Sabrina Harrison, 11, Raven Lamp, 18, Katherine Janelle, 18, Leah Barney, 17 and Abigail Harmon, 15. Harrison and Lamp will be performing contemporary solos choreographed by Pinyan. Janelle is performing a tap solo she choreographed herself and Barney is performing a martial arts dance mix choreographed by Grubb. Harman will be performing a black swan piece on pointe choreographed by Grubb as well, and be opening for the baby swans - a combination of two beginning/intermediate ballet classes.
Another addition to this year's performance will be a Broadway-style showpiece featuring two of Grubb's graduating seniors - Alivia Ayers and Gabriel Taibi - who will be singing and dancing a duet to "You're the One that I Want" from "Grease."
Excited about the eclectic mix of this year's recital, Grubb believes this performance will highlight the individual talents of each dancer and make for a very entertaining show for the audience.
The 21st annual dance recital for Tari Jo's Dance Studio will be held at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday in the Martinsburg High School auditorium. Tickets are $12 per seat and will be available to purchase at the door one hour prior to each performance.

EBENSBURG - A Cambria County Prison inmate was taken to a hospital after jumping over a third floor railing at the county courthouse Monday morning, county officials said.
The inmate, identified as Akeem Tyson Rhine, 19, of Johnstown was initially disruptive during his hearing, Cambria County District Attorney Kelly Callihan said.
As sheriff's deputies removed Rhine from the courtroom, Rhine attempted to jump over a third floor stairway railing, President Judge Timothy Creany said.
Deputies caught Rhine by the shirt, but he broke loose and proceeded to jump from the second floor to the first floor before he was subdued, Creany said.
The district attorney requested the state police and the Attorney General's Office investigate the incident, Callihan said.
"We are cooperating with the investigation since a member of my staff is a witness to some of the events that occurred," Callihan said Monday.
Rhine was unconscious and taken by ambulance to Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center, Johnstown, Creany said.
He was in court Monday on charges of indirect criminal contempt of a protection-from-abuse order, Callihan said.
Court administration officials confirmed Rhine was in the courthouse Monday morning.
Rhine was arrested March 11 and charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and harassment, according to online court documents.
He was scheduled to be returned to jail and then released following the hearing, Creany said.
"It's my understanding he was going to be taken back and released," Creany said.
His condition was unknown as of Monday evening.
Cambria County Sheriff Bob Kolar had the day off and was not at the courthouse during the incident, Deputy Sheriff Tracy Swope said.
The sheriff's office deferred all questions to Ebensburg Borough police, who did not return calls for comment.
Online court documents show Rhine is scheduled to appear before Magisterial District Judge Michael J. Musulin on March 26 in connection with the assault charges.
Officials did not know if additional charges would be filed against him stemming from Monday's incident at the courthouse.

I've wanted to write about stand-up comedy ever since I started doing it a few months ago. Nevertheless, as a newcomer to the craft, I didn't feel qualified to give anyone advice. My experience comes more from being funny online, and not just when I put the Groucho Marx glasses on my junk during a session of Chatroulette.

Not pictured: my junk.
I mean it's one thing to give my weekly lecture/tutorial on how to write flawless, compelling, and hilarious articles for Cracked.com, but telling people how to be a success on stage is another matter. (By the way, I have a feeling Soren is finally going to pass my final exam, so inquire about openings for the spring semester in the forum!)
Me and my night class comedy students.
In any event, given my lack of experience, I thought I'd let some friends and acquaintances with more stand-up experience provide most of the entries on this list. I took one, and more qualified folks took the rest, and now I have an official Cracked list of tips for not sucking on stage. I give you six mistakes to avoid in comedy.
#6. Picking the Wrong Material for the Wrong Crowd
In my short time doing stand-up, I've learned that every room has its own vibe. Older crowds, younger crowds, hipper crowds, dumber crowds. You're not doing your job as a comic if you're blind to that. Although you might polish your set, you need to tailor your material to the people you're trying to get a laugh from. I'll admit that I don't really like that. I like telling jokes the way I think they're funny, and if I didn't think that I was a better judge of that than anyone, I probably wouldn't have the balls to go on stage in the first place. Still, that's the wrong attitude. No one asked you to get up there. No one likes pandering, but if you want these people to laugh, you might have to meet them halfway, at least.
This takes us to an open mic I did a couple of months ago at Beauty Bar in New York City. It's a weird little bar, converted from a former beauty parlor, and you can still get your nails done there. Consequently, it's kind of a younger, hipper, less penis-based crowd than some other rooms. I was prepping for a gig, so I did five minutes of my set mostly about the silly things women do on social media in order to make themselves look attractive. (A lot of this material was also in a Cracked column I wrote around the same time.) I made fun of profile pics that just show one eye, or big pouty lips, or sexy shoes, and explained that those were all bad ideas for attracting men.
What happened?
Well, on Cracked, the column did pretty well. Yes, some women were pissed at me, because they felt that as a man I was objectifying women under a deluded belief that they worry about their profile pics for the sake of men. Online, I didn't care about those complaints. First, I have a 10-year published body of work, and I couldn't be exhausted enough to explain why my words should not be interpreted in the most offensive way possible when my jokes were not really specific to gender. I also don't believe that people aren't interested in making others think they're attractive. Male, female, straight, gay, whatever. Everyone does it. And I'd freely admit (as I did in the column) that I'm the absolute worst offender of such needy, wanton narcissism.
For example, here's a picture of me with my Twitter link included for no good reason.
But you can't have that discussion on stage. On stage, people laugh or they don't. And the people in that audience didn't know me or my body of writing, just what they heard right there. And to them some aging male fuck was talking down to them about how silly, ugly girls are tricking the world into thinking they're hot. And it did not get laughs. I should have been more sensitive to the audience -- probably avoiding the material altogether -- but at the very least tweaking it. And in my next performance, I did tweak it before going on stage at a different club, and it did much better.
#5. Don't Turn on the Crowd
OK, I just blew my wad with what I've learned in my three months of stand-up, so it's time to turn it over to others. Our next list entry comes to us from New York-based comic Bread Foster, who runs the "No Apologies" show at Gotham Comedy Club. I've never written an article full of quotes, and I'm not going to start now. I'm not a journalist, or even sober. Journalism bores me, so let's just say I was recently talking to Bread while tag-teaming supermodels on a pile of cocaine and candy, and here is an unreliable paraphrase of his thoughts on the matter:
"Sometimes an audience needs to be woken up, but there is a fine line between crowd work and alienation that makes them hate you," Bread said while prepping the cocaine/candy pile for our female companions. "I recently played an engagement party where the groom got too drunk and started booing all the comics. I got mad and insulted the whole wedding party."
Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
The cocaine was still on its way.
"And how did that go over?" I asked while handing Bread his Superman cape. (I should have mentioned earlier that Bread wears a cape while having sex with supermodels.)
"Yeah, it went over as well as a miscarriage," he said. "So I did five minutes of self-hating material until the best man said, 'We hate you so much,' and I agreed."
"Oh?" I said, but I wasn't really listening, because cocaine/candy/sex.
"Yeah, it was smooth sailing from then on."
The next morning, I thought about what Bread had said as I stood in line for free penicillin at the VD clinic. He had an excellent point.
#4. Know How to Die
Even great comics occasionally fail on a stage. A joke is off, a word is wrong, the setup wasn't properly established, you're doing comedy at a heavy metal bar. There is no shortage of reasons you might fail to get a laugh, and handling that is an important part of comedy. That's probably why "handling failure" was the response from three of the comics I spoke to on the subject.
Kevin Winter/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Not these guys.
So let me set the scene. You're at your gig or your open mic and you unfurl your new bit that you've successfully tried in your apartment countless times, much to the delight of your hot plate and cockroaches. But you go up on stage and it just dies. What DON'T you do?
Well, according to my buddy River Clegg, who runs the "Buckets O' Buckets" open mic at 11 p.m. at the Creek and the Cave, don't apologize. Don't flounder around all self-deprecatingly. Just move on. No "Off to a good start" or "Oh, well" or "Whaddya think? Not so much, huh?" A lack of confidence just drives an audience further away. (Also, invite River to your gigs -- he will laugh at all your jokes, because he is the nicest person alive.)
Paul Schissler, who books the great "OverExposed" show at Bareburger, has different advice: Don't tell the audience they're wrong for not laughing. "One thing that irks me," Paul said to me while eating a delicious meatless burger at affordable prices, "is when a joke bombs and the comic is like, 'Really? That one usually kills!'" Paul's right (and not just about the hidden dangers of red meat). No one likes to be told they're wrong, ever. About anything. Ever. That won't fix your problem.
And that brings us to the consummate professional, Andy Engel, who books the "Upcoming Talent Night" at Gotham Comedy Club, as well as offers a class for burgeoning stand-ups. Like River and Paul, Andy stresses the importance of knowing when to let something die. If a bit isn't working, go home and fix it, but don't flounder around in a free-form exploration in front of the audience. And don't go long with more material seeking that one big laugh you didn't get. It missed. Accept it. Work for next time.

Who do I need to contact in order to submit a manga story. I've thought of the plot and currently writing the character scripts and developing characters right now. Any information would be a great help. Thanks in advance.
why not try posting here? I think we all love a manga story to read
can you actually talk about your own manga ideas here?? 'cause i've got loads of ideas for my own sotries, i've got notes and loads if ideas that always keep getting better (lol)
yes you can...all the ideas i've heard where great...just post a forum about the character's and story and people will tell you what they think."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
If you read the terms of use, any idea posted on here becomes their property forever. I would discuss where you can go to get your ideas or work published, but I wouldn't post any work or ideas on here.
I don't think we should be bounded by the T&C coz many websites have the same T&C anyway but I think we should get sharing among us... if you're worriedwhy not just a draft first and we can also give you feedback..
I know that many websites have the same TOU, but I've never seen them enforced before. They have been removing posts that might even VAUGELY violate the TOU, so I wouldn't put it past them to enforce the "you post it and it's ours" rule.
"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
Does anyone know how I can contact Mr. Shirow Masamune or the publication office? I have a character I have been developing for about 3 years or so for Ghost in the Shell and I want to see if Mr. Shirow Masamune would be interested in this character. Any help would be much appreciated.

BattleStations: Midway Gets Sequel
Last year's Battlestations: Midway was a great idea! Letting you jump from ship to plane to submarine in a battle is every History Channel junkie's dream. It's just a shame the execution couldn't quite match the idea. Oh well! It sold well enough, and had enough potential, that Eidos are taking another crack at it, announcing today the game's sequel, Battlestations: Pacific. It's largely the same deal, though interestingly it's also letting you take control of the Japanese forces, with two single-player campaigns on offer, one for each side (the first game only had a US campaign). Virtually distasteful kamikaze, anyone? Eidos reassumes Battlestations [GameSpot]
Leipzig Might (*Might*) Still Go Ahead in 2009
Well, somebody doesn't know when they're beat. Despite the announcement of a new major international games show in 2009, which is backed by the German industry and will be held in the city of Cologne, the organisers of the Leipzig Games Convention just don't know how to quit. A Leipzig spokesperson has told Eurogamer.de: steht die Games Convention 2009 weiterhin im Kalender (For now, the 2009 Games Convention is still on the calendar).
Defiant! Though to be fair, they say they'll be taking a longer look at the show's survival prospects after speaking with publishers at this year's show, where they'll no doubt be told thanks, really, it's been a great seven years.

With retailers slashing Xbox 360 HD DVD Player prices, now is a good time to pick one up! (Thinking of doing that myself.) But what about those who paid full price? They must be kinda bummed out.

SingStore Updates Continue To Suck
Oh, PS3 SingStar, how are you managing to blow such a sure thing? Since the game's launch late last year it's been a shell of an experience, with a crummy, limited tracklist making it a poor relation to the PS2's varied and expansive libraries. In an effort to remedy this, Sony have been trying a little harder to update the game's online SingStore recently, and will on March 7 continue this with a massive update, featuring 67 "new" songs. I say "new", though, because they're not new at all: most (might even be all) songs are already featured on the PS2 versions of the game.
Pity, that. Was really hoping for something new, and if not new, then at least varied. Ah well. Better luck next time, eh Sony?
EA Aren't The Only Ones Trying To Buy Take-Two
Why, Take-Two, you hussy! Here EA were, thinking they were the only ones vying for your affections, when from out of nowhere, you reveal that EA aren't the only ones. There are others. Scandalous! Take-Two aren't revealing just who these others are, however, and won't unless they are "legally required to do so". All they are saying is that there are others, and that at the moment, they're no more than "informal indications of interest in a business combination." Which may be true, I don't know, but from here that all sounds like a convenient way to drive EA's offering price up by a few bucks. Take-Two Reports Other Buyout Offers [AP][Pic]
Patapon Winners (Yes, You Can Hate Me)
Whew! Our Patapon contest is so over. We didn't plan for this one to be tricky, we wanted it to be easy! But, apparently, we are tricky bastards. A buncha entries we got only answered one question — the first one. Not much of a scavenger hunt if there's only one question, don't cha think? Reading comprehension is so important. Too bad more folks didn't read the Totoro post! What's more, too bad some people gave SEVERAL ANSWERS to number seven. The four folks who hit all the high notes and got everything right are: nolifedopestar, Paul M., Pat O., sander_dutch
Hit the jump for the right answers and the bitter hate. Mmmmm, hate. Delicious!

LEWISTOWN - Amid the presents and parties, cookie baking and shopping, reminders of Christ's birth still surround us.
Stop. Take a moment and look around you at the decorations - many of them are symbols, reminders of God's greatest gift to his children through the birth of his son.
Chrismons, or ornaments with Christian symbols, are a common way that churches decorate a tree for the season. These small decorations are almost like a library of Christian symbols - some familiar, some uncommon.
Article Photos
Sentinel photo by BUFFIE BOYER
A chrismon tree stands at Grove Memorial United Methodist Church in Lewistown. The chrismons are symbols to remind Christians of Jesus' birth.
The word Chrismon itself is a melding of the words "Christ" and "monogram." Typically, the ornaments are white, representing Jesus' purity, and gold to represent his sovereignty, according to an article from beliefnet.com.
The practice of having a chrismon tree began with Lutheran pastor George Pass in 1940 in Virginia. He began making decorations for his own Christmas tree that were symbols about Jesus Christ and the meaning of Christmas, instead of the usual pretty but meaningless shiny balls, Santa Clauses and reindeer. The practice soon caught on with other Christians, and today chrismons are a common sight all over the United States.
Here are a few of the common symbols:
Chi Rho
The very first chrismon was the Chi Rho, a combination of the first two Greek letters of "Cristos," or Christ. The symbol looks like an X (chi) superimposed on a P (rho). It dates back to the time of Constantine, who said God told him to put the symbol on his soldier's shields for "by this you shall conquer."
A king's crown is the symbol of royal power and authority. It symbolizes Jesus as King of the Jews, in fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, as well as the exalted Christ as king of kings.
A single white candle symbolizes the Christ. The golden glow of the candle recalls the halo of light called a nimbus that symbolized divinity and power in medieval paintings.
In John 8:12, Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
Dove and seashell
Some of the symbols are reminders of later events in Christ's life. The dove is the reminder of Jesus baptism in Luke 2:21-22 - "heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in the bodily form like a dove. ..."
The seashell or scallop is a symbol for Christian baptism or the baptism of Jesus. It is also a symbol for pilgrimage and the spread of the Gospel to the world.
Grapes and butterfly
A reminder of Communion, grapes represent the blood that Christ shed on the cross. The butterfly is a symbol of Jesus' resurrection.
Other symbols
Stylized crosses, symbols of the trinity, the Greek letters alpha and omega, stars and lambs are common chrismons. Chrismon symbols and their explanations are on www.cresourcei.org/symbols/ornaments.

The Reeds were pleasant to watch....but I think their tech was a bit lacking. I'd put them behind C/B.
Hey I like the Reed's program! Something different for a change. Cool dress, too. Agree on the tech-lite though.
I think the Reeds have improved a LOT this year. I don't feel a great connection between them and the music here but the audience seemed to love it so maybe that's just me.
I was pleasantly surprised the Reeds skated to that (even though that music is somewhat overused). Interesting costumes! I would have them behind Coomes and Buckland..
Going to the existing teams, I'd pair up Yu and Zheng and then spend some extra money and send them to train with Igor so they get more of a technical base. Then they might actually get somewhere.
It might be too late for these teams though since they're already in their mid 20s- unless they decide to go for another Olympic cycle.
Ah they barely beat C/B.
Hm... something wrong with Elena?
Did anyone else notice Elena Ilinykh during the warm-up? She looked very concerning, very frazzled......Anyone know of any illness/injury? It could also explain why they are in third after winning...?
Nicole is a lovely girl but the cut and color of that dress need improvement.
This was another performance I really enjoyed. I'd have them in first. They seemed to really flow across the ice, it made me happy to watch them. TO me their edges/levels looked very strong too but it's always so hard to tell before you see the protocols and can watch again later...

A third man was arrested this week and two others face more charges in a July 14 shooting that left one person dead and two wounded in downtown Charleston.
Omary Rashard Kornickey, 21, of King Street faces charges of murder and attempted murder.
The Charleston Police Department arrested West Ashley residents Brian Ancrum, 23, of Tripe Street and Glendell Gladden Jr., 29, of Robinhood Drive on the day of the shooting. They already face murder charges, but investigators added attempted murder counts this week.
Police spokesman Charles Francis said investigators may make further arrests.
Arrest affidavits accused all three of shooting one person who survived the ordeal. The police based the attempted murder charge on ballistic testing, the documents stated. Witnesses also identified the trio in a photo lineup.
The authorities did not specify exactly who shot 22-year-old Don'ta Pringle of Summerville, who later died of his wounds.
The men appeared for a hearing Thursday afternoon, when Magistrate Linda Lombard denied bail on all the charges.
Kornickey has a short arrest history.
A judge found him not guilty in October 2012 on a charge of criminal domestic violence. The next month, he was arrested in Charleston and later convicted of misdemeanor marijuana possession.
Both Ancrum and Gladden are felons.
Gladden has faced charges in three past shootings, including two that were fatal. None of those charges stuck.
"I am sadly impressed by your criminal background," Lombard said during the bond hearing.
Pringle was shot three times outside the Exxon gas station at 420 Meeting St. A young woman and one other person were wounded, but their injuries were not life-threatening.
The police said Pringle and other men were talking to some women about 2 a.m. when a sport-utility vehicle rolled through the parking lot. They said Ancrum was driving, and Gladden and Kornickey were passengers.
Gladden got out of the SUV and walked through the parking lot, the police said. Three minutes later, witnesses told the authorities that they heard gunshots, but investigators did not say where the bullets were coming from.
As friends drove Pringle to the hospital, they happened upon the SUV again. Someone in the SUV opened fire on the car containing the dying Pringle, the police said, but it's not thought that anyone was hit.
After the shooting, Kornickey told detectives that he went to a Tripe Street home about 9 p.m. the day before and stayed there overnight, an affidavit stated. Later, he said that he left the home with Ancrum and Gladden but returned in a taxi.
A witness contradicted that account, telling the police that Kornickey had returned with Ancrum and Gladden after midnight.
During his bond hearing, Kornickey told the magistrate that he was supposed to start a new job Friday at Walmart. His sister said he had attended Trident Technical College.
"We love you, Omary," she told him. "And stay strong."

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
There�s no question he has big shoes to fill.
When the Rev. Ken Malcolm took over as rector of St. Mark�s Episcopal Church in June, he was beginning his tenure at a church that had been led by the Rev. Andrew Cooley for 16 years. Cooley left in May 2011.
�I met Andrew in May at a clergy conference, and we took a three-hour hike in Rocky Mountain National Park,� said Malcolm, 49. �He told me stories about St. Mark�s, its challenges, strengths and where it�s been. It was great to spend so much time with someone this community loved so much.�
Malcolm moved from Austin, Texas, to Durango with his wife, Beth Phautz Malcolm, and sons Douglas, 8, and Peter, 6. He had been the associate rector at St. David�s Episcopal Church, which he called an �Episcotropolis,� a church where 900 people worship every Sunday and two times as many people participate in programs. St. David�s had five priests on staff with more than 20 staff members, a school and numerous programs and missions.
Malcolm, who wasn�t ordained as a priest until 2007, came to his ministry in a roundabout way.
�I grew up in Texas and felt a call of some sort or another from middle school on,� he said. �But what does a 12-year-old boy know? I always thought I wanted to make a difference, I wanted to be an agent for positive change. Now I want to be a conduit for God and the Holy Spirit to make a difference. Maybe there�s a little less ego.�
Although he was baptized in the Roman Catholic faith, his Catholic mother and Methodist father enrolled him in an Episcopal kindergarten, and he eventually attended the associated church. Malcolm was involved in youth groups and went on to spend more than 20 years directing and being a counselor at Episcopal summer camps, spending the rest of the year as an adjunct college professor at Texas Tech University, Oklahoma State and the Dallas/Fort Worth university systems.
�My area of expertise was medieval European history with a minor in architecture,� he said with a grin. �So, of course, they had me teaching American history and Western civilization.�
A job for the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, where he ran all the programs from the bishop�s office, confirmed his desire to make the ministry a career, so four years later, he enrolled in the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest in Austin.
This is Malcolm�s first calling as rector, but he held a number of responsibilities at St. David�s: preaching at services; officiating at weddings and funerals; oversight of Christian formation, small groups and communications; and working with a variety of committees as well as teaching at his alma mater, the seminary in Austin.
He wasn�t looking for a new position, but St. Mark�s came calling. And despite the size differences, Malcolm sees a great deal of similarities between St. David�s and St. Mark�s, including the types of people who worship at both.
�This is very much a church of people on a journey, seeking a life of faith and building a community,� he said. �We�re on this journey together, and I�m simply a guide.�
When he�s not at St. Mark�s, Malcolm probably will be outdoors in Durango and the surrounding mountains.
�I like to hike, run, mountain bike,� he said, �and I�m looking forward to living in a place where skiing is a weekly occurrence.�

The Giro Contact goggles are recommended for those looking for a pair of goggles that easily adapts to changing light conditions with a push of a button. Great for outdoor winter activities of all kinds in all conditions. I tested the Giro Contact goggles during the winter of 2015 and 2016 in Northern New Hampshire. The winter had a frustrating lack of natural snow, but I was able to test these goggles while skiing on man-made snow at the local resorts. Fit & Comfort: The Contact goggles… Full review

I'm in love with these goggles. Quick-change lenses, photochromatic lens options, and superior field of vision for under $200! I bought the Ltd. Optics goggles through their Kickstarter campaign. I went with the Flux package which included a frame, strap, photochromatic (light transitioning) primary lens, Clear Red Revo backup lens (for low light), plus a microfiber bag and hard case. I am a snowboarding instructor at Park City Mountain so I use my goggles a lot. By mid January I already had 45… Full review

Stage Stunt goggles are as good or better than any goggle I've owned, which are many! Exceptionally clean lines and great fit, with or without a helmet. Stage makes some great goggles. Excellent design, super lens quality and tons of options. Fit and comfort better than most. You will be pleased with the Stunt goggles. I used the "Detector" lens on a very flat light, snowy day and the terrain popped, very good definition. Lens change out was simple with the frameless design. I'm always more interested… Full review
Uvex Downhill 2000 Variomatic Polavision Goggle
Received a pair as a Christmas Gift and just tried them out on the bike as it has been too dam cold and raining too much in Maine to do any riding. Anyway. They work well with a shorty helmet or no helmet and stay on well enough on the highway at 75 mph. Do fog up a bit but all you need do is spit in them just like your Scuba mask and they are good to go for a few hours. I like them. Need to put a few years of use time on them to see how well they hold up. Store well hanging on the handlebars, but… Full review

Banish flexy wheels to the history books.
Nobody likes flimsy wheels, especially if you're riding a 29er, where wheel flex is most apparent. But with its proprietary aluminum spokes and a burly, yet lightweight rim shape, there's no reason to fear flex with the Industry Nine Enduro 29er Wheelset. They may be as light as other companies' race wheels, but the Enduro wheelset is built to withstand real world use under aggressive riders. And that translates into confidence in your wheels, no matter how hard you're pushing it.
While traditional spokes are drawn from steel wire, I-9 spokes are machined from 7075 aluminum. The spokes are straight-pull, and they have roughly a 25% greater cross section then comparable 14/15 double butted steel spokes. This translates into greater tensile strength. Threading on these spokes is also exclusive to Industry Nine. On traditional spokes, threads are rolled, not cut. This adds to strength, but it also creates a stress riser where the thread channel is narrower than the diameter of the spoke itself. However, Industry Nine doesn't need to roll its threads. Instead, they're created during the machining process, only they're cut so that the thread channel is the same as the spokes diameter. The threads themselves are actually larger than the spoke in order to create a strong interface with the hub. But, that's not all that I9 did to improve the Torch.
The new Torch hubs are now compatible with all axle standards via separately available end caps. The big news, however, is within the hub. The Torch preserves the 120 points of contact and the three degrees of near-instant engagement that's earned Industry Nine its cult following. Only now, the pawls have two teeth instead of three. Along with that, a changed cantilever angle, and a shallower tooth profile on the hardened drive ring, reduce freehub drag in comparison to prior iterations. Additionally, the Torch hubs incorporate a proprietary mechanism that features two sets of three pawls that are phased three degrees from each other.
The rear hub was tested to withstand 700ft/lbs of torque -- roughly what a built diesel truck puts out. So, this should quiet any fears of slippage when you're putting out full power. However, it's quick engagement that enables you to clean steep, technical trail sections. And with three degrees of rotation between engagement points, that won't be an issue.
I-9's engineers removed the large bearing between the freehub body and shell, opting for smaller bearings directly between the body and shell. The reduced bearing size means less seal surface area that, along with a new silicone lip design, significantly reduces mechanical drag. The freehub is also now easier to remove for cleaning/lubing, and like before, the springs and pawls are captured. Home mechanics rejoice -- this means that you won't be scrambling on the floor looking for small parts.
These wheels are built around a 32 hole spoke count, as opposed to the 24 hole construction that's found on some of I9's lighter weight offerings. The result is a wheelset that maximizes strength, which is especially important for heavier and more aggressive riders. The spokes thread directly into the hub in order to eliminate the nipple, save weight, and to boost strength. And they also use a standard 15-gauge spoke wrench and conventional truing methods, which makes truing and re-tensioning a piece of cake.
With a 26mm inner width, the Industry Nine's Trail rim is wider than many downhill specific rims, which yields an ideal profile with today's wider tires. They feature a double-wall design for strength, while keeping the weight down to a very respectable 520 grams per rim. This means that you gain a stable tire platform and confidence inspiring strength, all without paying a heavy weight penalty. Better yet, the wheels also provide an excellent level of stiffness for precise tracking on rough trails.
The Industry Nine Enduro 29er Wheelset is available with a 15mm front and 142 x 12mm rear thru-axle compatibility. It's tubeless-ready and comes in either the color Black or Red. Please note: these wheels ship with the Presta valve stems and rim tape already installed.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Stiff, strong, and provide great support for wide chunky tires. Freehub engagement is fantastic and easy to service.
Great picture Kyle! I am putting these Enduros on my new Pivot Mach 6. So excited to get them on some dirt.
Bad ass wheels
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These wheels look great, are very stiff, have a great poe, and are nice and wide. The strength to weight ratio is fantastic and the wheels just perform extremely well. I did need to true them and adjust the spoke tension after breaking them in, but I9 warns you this will occur due to the aluminum spokes.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Can't say I know what wheel flex feels like but I am confident I'll never know with these wheels.
The driver engagement is awesome & the sound is cool.
The red rims look amazing.
My bike is essentially lighter with these wheels but I can't exactly tell.
If you like style & want to add confidence to your riding I would pick these wheels up.
Is the rear hub compatible with the xx1...
Is the rear hub compatible with the xx1 cassette?
Back me up on this if I'm incorrect experts but you need to pick up i9 XD driver to be comparable with XX1 Sram cassettes. The driver that comes with this wheel set is a 142 driver.
Here is a link to the XD driver that backcountry is selling.
Does the Enduro wheelset have Torch Hubs?...
Does the Enduro wheelset have Torch Hubs? It says I9 Enduro for the front/rear hubs in the tech specs box but the description paragraph says Torch hubs.
It does indeed come with the torch hub. Let me know if you have any other questions
Super Stiff Wheel
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This wheel is incredibly stiff, light, tracks wheel and has the best engagement on the market. It is safe to say that I9 made a bomb proof product on this one. These are my favorite upgrade on any bike. The near instant engage (3.5 degrees) is great for getting through any technical section on the trail. The stiffness of the wheel is awesome for letting the frame do what it was designed for and provide a great power transfer. It might be superficial one this aspect but I do love that the I9 wheelsets can come in different colors. The 32 spoke is great for enduro or heavier riders and the 24 spoke is awesome for cross country riders and would be great for a hard tail. Most riders would be totally fine on the 24 spoke wheel due to how stiff it is. If you have any questions about this or any other wheelset please give me a call and I would be happy to talk to you about them.
Here is my contact information: My direct line 801.736.6396 ex. 4389. Feel free call to me anytime, I?m always happy to talk about bikes or gear or the weather. Whatever works! I?m here Mon, Tues and Friday 1:30-10pm MST and Saturday 9-5:30 as well as Sunday 10-7. I look forward to speaking with you.
