Ultimate Nutrition ISO Mass Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Ultimate Nutrition ISO Mass Gainer supplies more than 900 calories per serving. In addition to lean protein and an exceptional amount of carbohydrates, the supplement packs creatine into the mix. Creatine hydrates the muscle, which can cause electrolyte imbalance and muscle cramping, but it is widely used by bodybuilders trying to gain bulk. This supplement may contain a lean source of protein and very little fat, but it is not intended for weight loss or dieting. Bodybuilders need to protect muscle mass and supply muscles with a huge amount of protein when training hardest. This supplement will not only cause weight gain, it will cause water retention.
List of Ingredients
ISO Mass: Whey Protein Isolate, Milk Protein Isolate, Egg Isolate Micellar, Alpha and Beta Caseins and Caseinates and Lactoferrin.
Carbo Mass: 5 DE Maltodextrin, Dextrose and Oat Fiber.
Crea Mass: Creatine Monohydrate, Tricreatine Malate, Kre-Alkalyn, Creatine Orotate and Creatine Alpha Ketoglutarate.
Omega Mass: Enzyme Modified Sunflower Oil Powder, Medium Chain Triglycerides Powder, Borage Oil Powder and Flax Seed Oil.
Vita Mass: No ingredients listed.
Gluta Mass: Glutapure Glutamine, Glutamine Alpha Ketoglutarate, Glutamine Ethyl Ester and N-Acetyl L-Glutamine.
NO Mass: Arginine, Alpha Ketoglutarate, Arginine Ethyl Ester, Di-Hydrochloride, Ethyl Ester Malate, L-Norvaline and B Alanine.
BCAA Mass: L-Valine, L-Valine Ethyl Ester, L-Leucine, L-Leucine Ethyl Ester, L-Isoleucine and L-Isoleucine Ethyl Ester.
Creatine Precursor Mass: Betaine Glylcocyamine.
Enzyme Mass: Protease and Lactase.
Product Features
There are two different times in bodybuilding – bulking and cutting. During the bulking phase, bodybuilders push the muscle harder than humanly possible. Carbohydrate stores are quickly used up and the body turns to fat and protein sources, like muscle, for the energy it needs to keep going. This is not what the bodybuilder wants to happen. There is nothing worse than doing everything right to gain muscle only to find you weigh less after the bulking phase because you burned off muscle fibers while trying to build more muscle. Ultimate Nutrition ISO Mass prevents the body from using protein stores for energy.
Ultimate Nutrition ISO Mass is more than a basic weight gainer. Weight gainers typically have just protein and carbohydrates, but this supplement offers much more. Creatine, branched chain amino acids, enzymes and omega fatty acids are added to the basic protein/carbohydrate combination. The super weight gainer supports overall muscle and body health while preventing the breakdown of muscle fibers with 900 calories per serving.
- Contains healthy ingredients to support weight and muscle gain.
- All ingredients are listed online.
- The formula contains omega fatty acids and enzymes to promote digestive health.
- Will cause weight gain.
- Not designed to promote weight loss.
- Contains 900 calories per serving, more than half a day's supply.
Ultimate Nutrition ISO Mass is a gainer supplement for bodybuilders. Though many of the complexes promote overall health, the huge caloric load will not promote weight loss. This formula also contains creatine, known to cause water retention and weight gain. This is fine for the bodybuilder, but not for the dieter trying to lose weight. Dieters want to stay away from supplements with the word "mass" or "gainer" in the title. These are exclusively for bodybuilders.

ESPN gives Pat Hill an "A for Effort"
It's always nice to root for the good guys. And Pat Hill has always been one of 'em. He clearly cares about his kids. "It drives me nuts that we're performing in a way that doesn't make everybody happy. I want to make everybody happy. I want to see the kids I care about so much being happy. Right now, we're not happy and I don't like that." He is also willing to take the current criticism like a man, " I enjoy what I do here. I love this community. I came with the sword in my hand and when you go out, you go out on your sword. Everybody's day ends some time and I'll look back and hold my head high." Before it's Pat Hill's time to leave, I hope he gets his team to string together a couple of big wins over BCS programs and go to a Big Bowl. Next season, the Bulldogs have games against Oregon and Colorado. Wouldn't it be great if his 'Dawgs could go 2-0 in those games? Pat Hill deserves a legacy like that.

One reason for Baltimore's problems30 Sep 13
One reason for Baltimore's problems
Months after the Baltimore Ravens were hoisting the Lombardi Trophy and Joe Flacco was rewarded with a mega contract, the Ravens are a middling 2-2. Their troubles were on display during their Week 4 loss to Buffalo.
Joe Flacco had as many interceptions (5) as Ray Rice had carries Sunday #Ravens—
Jamison Hensley (@jamisonhensley) September 30, 2013
Rice, who was struggling with a hip injury, finished on Sunday with 17 yards. Flacco's quarterback rating was 46.4.
It's easy to blame Baltimore's fall-off on high profile departures and key injuries, but when the guys on the field can't get it done, they have no hope of returning to the Super Bowl.

Moving Beyond Petroleum
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- ETF investors are moving beyond petroleum in the wake of the Gulf disaster, with natural gas funds such as First Trust ISE Revere Natural Gas (FCG) leading the way.
Before the disaster in the Gulf, BP (BP) was using its initials in a "Beyond Petroleum" marketing campaign that played up its push into renewable energy.
Now, in addition to the disaster in the Gulf, the company and its competitors are suffering from a decline in oil prices and difficulty in the alternative energy space, where European budget problems have hurt the heavily subsidized sector.

We've all seen the images: Homes gutted. Streets piled high with debris. And now a new storm is gunning for the northeast.
"When it hits your own daughter and people you know and friends and family, it's different," Sharon Tabasco says.
Tabasco, the baker at Frostings Cupcakes in South Tampa, can hardly hold back the tears.
Her youngest daughter, Michelina, is one of tens of thousands left homeless up north.
And she's eight and a half months pregnant.
"She called me crying. She said, 'Mom, it's devastating.' It's like everything, the baby's room, everything she had was gone." Tabasco said.
Superstorm Sandy flooded her daughter and son-in-law's home in Atlantic City, N.J., with 7-feet of water.
They lost everything.
"There are so many friends and family and friends of friends that are in the same situation, so as many people as we can help out…and when it hits home." Tabasco said.
LINK: More coverage of the storm on www.myfoxny.com
Tabasco, who grew up in Atlantic City, is now doing whatever she can to help not only her daughter's family, but others hit hard by the storm.
She's posted it on Facebook and already some have offered to donate clothing and supplies.
"I can't believe it. I mean, people are amazing." says Joe Barbato, the owner. "Our customers are like our friends. They are the nicest people."
She plans to send a crate full of necessities next week.
Her mother's driving up with donations this weekend.
Tabasco hopes to do the same, later this month.
"I had to close up a couple hours on Monday because I'm trying to stay strong for the business. But it's hard because it's your children, and I'm here, your there. So I'm doing the best I can," she said.
She said FEMA is helping her daughter and her daughter's husband find a new place to live.
For now, they're focusing on their baby, a little girl, who's due on Dec. 2.

Iceland is a small island country about the size of Kentucky that lies in the North Atlantic Ocean just below the Arctic Circle. Its size, location, and beautiful landscape make Iceland a popular choice for travelers interested in an adventure cruise. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge splits the country roughly down the middle, separating the North American plate from the Eurasian plate and making Iceland a country of active volcanoes, geysers, and geothermal hot springs. Most of the island is a plateau, with the remaining landscape offering its visitors a stately view of beautiful mountains, magnificent glaciers—including Europe's largest, the Vatna Glacier—and an intricate coastline of rugged fjords, which provide the country with many natural harbors. Because Iceland is so young, geologically speaking, the glaciated landscape is still full of rivers and lakes. Most of the lakes are dammed by lava or glacial ice, while the rivers are either full of glacial debris or clear-running, fed by rainfall and underground springs.
Iceland is a land of fire and ice: ten percent of the landscape is covered by cooled lava, while another ten percent is covered by glacial ice. The 3,000 square miles covered by the Vatna Glacier are equal to the total land area covered by glaciers in continental Europe. The Vatna is also the location Hvannadals Peak, which at 6,952 feet above sea level is Iceland's highest point of land. Other striking points to explore while on a tour of the island include Iceland's 200 volcanoes, which have been the source of one-third of Earth's total lava flows in the past 500 years. Iceland not only has a vast amount of lava, it is also home to the largest number of hot springs and solfataras to be found in any country. This geothermal energy heats all of Reykjavik, the capital, and several other communities, as well as heating commercial greenhouses and providing steam for industry.
Iceland's nearly 300,000 people live almost exclusively along the coasts. Reykyavik, the northernmost capital in the world is a desirable stop for travelers on their Iceland adventure cruise. Reykyavik is located in the southwestern portion of the country, which has numerous natural harbors and good fishing. Along the western coast the fishing industry is balanced with agriculture, while northern Iceland focuses even more on farming. The east has more fjords, while the rugged, pristine southeast is home to mountains and glaciers, and the lowlands of the south comprise Iceland's primary agricultural region.

On Pro Hockey
Quiet by nature, David Krejci sits silently in his locker at the TD Garden, anxiously awaiting the Bruins' season opener tomorrow night.
Whether or not he'll play, who knows?
He might downplay it, but the offseason has been a long and at times tumultuous one for the easy-going center.
Last May, the Bruins were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs by the Carolina Hurricanes. He finished with a modest eight points in 11 postseason games and he was in agony.
This quiet, reserved kid — he's just 23 — is as tough as nails. Krejci played the entire season with a hip injury.
"There wasn't one day it didn't bother me (last) year," said Krejci, the Bruins' second-leading scorer with 22 goals and 51 assists. "Every day I woke up, every move I did, I knew there was something wrong.
"In the middle of the season, we did an MRI and then we saw it. So we knew there would be surgery after the season. We didn't talk about it that much. We just decided to play it out."
Krejci, who stands a modest 6-feet and 178 pounds, underwent surgery in June to remove a hip impingement, a mechanical disorder which causes stiffness and at times severe pain.
He practiced with the team for much of training camp, but has not appeared in any preseason action.
"They said four-to-six months and next week is four months," said Krejci, who hails from Sternberk, Czech Republic. "I have worked hard at getting in shape all summer. I really only took two weeks off. I've been working all summer for this first game (tomorrow)."
Throughout the preseason, Krejci has hinted that there was a 10 percent chance he'd be ready for opening night. Originally, it was thought that he might be out of action until November.
"It's better than 10 percent," he said. "But I'll be a game-day decision."
His tireless work ethic this summer hasn't surprised anyone within the organization. Faced with the dilemma of re-signing Krejci or winger Phil Kessel due to salary-cap restrictions, the Bruins chose Krejci.
"We'll see if he's ready to go," said head coach Claude Julien.
Krejci has been practicing on a line between wingers Blake Wheeler and Michael Ryder.
"He's comfortable with those guys," said Julien. "That line also worked well for us last year, so why fix what isn't broken? He's ready for the challenge of getting back on the ice and he'll give it a try when he's ready. He's worked real hard this summer getting in shape and he's looked good."
Before his surgery, Krejci cashed in a new three-year contract worth $11.25 million. Almost $2 million cheaper than the price the Maple Leafs paid Kessel two weeks ago, and Krejci is the more valuable player.
Coaches say 'you can't coach scoring' and Kessel brings that dynamic every time he steps on the ice. But Krejci is more well-rounded. He wins faceoffs, he's a two-way player, he can score goals and he makes the players on his line better.
Unlike Kessel, he also comes up big in big games. Of his 22 goals last season, half were against playoff teams. With Kessel, just 19.4 percent (7 of his 36 goals) came against playoff teams.
Michael Ryder netted 14 goals his last year with the Montreal Canadiens in 2007-08. Last year, his first as a Bruin, Ryder nearly doubled his goal production (27) with Krejci mostly centering his line.
"He's great," Ryder said during last year's postseason, in which he scored five goals and 13 points in 11 games with Krejci as his pivot. "Some of the things he does on the ice is just incredible. You'll be in an area where you don't think he can see you, or you think you have to get in better position for him to send you the puck, and before you know it, it's hitting your stick. It amazes me sometimes."
Krejci gives the Bruins a first-line center on their second line. And, with current first-line pivot Marc Savard entering the last year of his contract, Krejci's role could grow.
"I hope I'll be even better this year than I was last year because you go to the game and you know something is bothering you, then it's in your head," Krejci said. "I just wanted to get through the games. I believe that, once it's done, I'll be ready to go."
Scoring when it counts
David Krejci's scoring:
15 of his 27 career goals have come in the third period or overtime.
5 of those 15 goals have been game-winners.
85 of his 100 career points have come in wins.

City may prohibit park activities
Date: October 8, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
After several complaints about improper sporting activities in city parks, the city will draft an ordinance for commission approval that will prohibit those activities.
"Some activities have become problematic," said William Hallisey, the city's public works director.
Some residents have complained about people golfing in Payne Park and playing late-night football games in Five Points Park and soccer matches in Gillespie Park.
"One activity some people are doing could discourage others from using the park," said Commissioner Fredd Atkins.
Todd Kucharski, general manager of parks, landscaping and environmental services, said the city has three goals with a possible ordinance: encourage people to use its parks; ensure park users are safe; and protect the investment in parks by preventing damage.
The city may follow the direction of other municipalities in the way they restrict park activities.
Sarasota County, the city of Clearwater and the town of Apopka list specific activities that are prohibited in their parks, such as model-airplane flying, horseshoes and lawn darts.
Other jurisdictions, such as Broward County, require permits for sporting activities, and some, such as Charleston, S.C., categorize their parks and only permit certain activities in certain categories of parks.
Commissioner Terry Turner said he preferred the last option.
"I think having categories of parks and activities allowed in each one is a good idea," said Turner. "I think it's a good idea to do something."
Vice Mayor Kelly Kirschner got some laughs from the audience at the Oct. 5 City Commission meeting, after relaying a story of a constituent confronting a man golfing in Payne Park.
"A woman with a child told me she asked a golfer to leave," Kirschner said. "He told her, 'Don't worry. I'm very accurate.'"

BUDDING doctors, nurses, firemen and police constables turned up at a Wrexham primary school.
Pupils at Alexandra Community Primary School dressed up as what they want to be when they grow up as part of a topic for the newschool term.
Year one and two children have been learning about how the emergency services offer them help and support, through the theme of fire and water.
Children were asked to come into school as what they wanted to do as a career as part of the topic and a wide range of ideas were conveyed by the pupils at the school on Park Avenue.
Jenna Cawthorne, foundation phase leader at the school, said: "There were many different costumes.
"We had police officers, firemen, doctors, nurses, sports stars and an air hostess. It's been a fantastic day for all the children involved.
"It has been a colourful day with loads going on and the children have really enjoyed themselves."
Children also took part in a fire drill obstacle course outside where they got to be firemen extinguishing fake fires with water.
They also learned the Welsh for words associated with fire and water during parachute games.
Maesydre councillor and governor at the school, Carol O'Toole, said: "It is never too early to start thinking about what you want to do when you're older.
"It is encouraging to see the school taking an active interest in helping the children think about their futures.
"It also helps them realise the importance of our public services, and the hard work they put in.
"I've not been a governor for long at the school but I am mightily impressed by the behaviour of the children and the dedication of the hard-working staff."

A Travelers Rest man died Saturday when he was crushed by a vehicle.
Deputies said the accident may have uncovered a crime.
Authorities said Dennis McCombs, 49, was working on a truck that was being propped up by a floor jack.
The coroner said it appeared there was some sort of mechanical failure, and the truck fell on top of McCombs and killed him.
When investigators were called to the scene, they determined the truck was stolen.
Detectives are working to identify the person who stole the truck.

A weekthün is a week-long group meditation retreat that provides a precious opportunity to deepen our connection with mindfulness/awareness practice, as well as to self-reflect on the contemplative aspect of our life. The program's strong container is an excellent way to establish or re-establish an ongoing meditation practice that will permeate our life. This will be a very unique weekthün that takes place at Dorje Denma Ling at the same time as Family Camp. All the generations will come together to practice, play, and create enlightened society together. Children will join the weekthun for a chants each morning, then will leave to enjoy Family Camp. All are welcome.

Earlier this week, New York gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino (R) called Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) a "little girl" for voting similar to her colleague Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). When a reporter on Friday tried to ask him if he regrets those comments, Paladino wasn't having any of it.
"Are we going to talk issues or am I leaving you right now?" Paladino said during an interview with WCAX-TV. After the interviewer kept pushing the issue, Paladanio ripped off his earpiece and microphone and stormed off:

Despite the predictable suggestions that Kentucky fans defaced a Louisville poster in the Frankfort area, today, the truth comes out -- it was Mother Nature who took exception to the Cardinals' swipe at UK. Karma, Card fans, karma.

Sonny Collins reconnects with Kentucky football // The Courier-Journal
Collins was one of four players recognized last week at the Governor's Cup luncheon to highlight the UK-Louisville football game. It was exactly the kind of function he would have declined to attend in the past — and it was all because of the past.

There is, of course, a lesson to be learned in all of this: if you are one the most popular rappers in the world and a personal favorite of countless 16 and 17 year old high school recruits…become a fan of a dominant college basketball program, and you too could could one day have your very own customized championship rock.
This was not one of Coach Cal's best decisions. I just hope it was made with his heart and not his head.
Kentucky: Schedule Breakdown // CBSSports
A quick glance at the 2012 schedule reveals that Kentucky might only be favored in three of its 12 games -- Kent State, Western Kentucky and Samford. Road trips to Louisville, Florida, Arkansas, Missouri and Tennessee won't be easy, but perhaps the Wildcats can steal a win or two with home games against Vanderbilt and/or Mississippi State.
We've already discussed that Kentucky will likely have to pull 3 upsets to get to a bowl. Doable, but a serious challenge for a young team.

The worst case scenario for Kentucky fans would be Julius Randle goes to North Carolina or Duke, Andrew Wiggins stays in the 2014 class and the Harrison twins (Aaron and Andrew) pick Maryland. All that is possible, but not likely. Kentucky is going to get players. It is Kentucky and they are the defending national champion. They will get players.

Kathryn Maroun is back, and describes recent events in her "Big Bang Theory" below.
Every winter there is a mass exodus from Canada as the snow geese (aka older Canadians) pack up and fly to warmer shores. It is a necessary part of the culture because a great percent of Canadians suffer from vitamin D deficiency. Canooks are easy to pick out at international departure gates. They tend to be pasty white and wear vacation attire on the way out of hockey country. Don't be fooled, they can also sport a dewy glow of scarlet heat upon return, after overdosing on vitamin D in the tropical sun.
I'm sure we have all said out loud, when on vacation, "I wished I lived here!"
But few people actually follow through on a tipsy vacation exclamation by expatriating — especially Canadians who are enticed to stay in Canada with the lore of free healthcare.
In my opinion, the Canadian health system is floundering and Bermuda has a world-class fishery… so after vacationing in Bermuda, my wish came true and I made a gutsy life change by moving offshore. I thought it would be a "blast" to live in Bermuda, also referred to as the Somers Isles. Hemingway and others have written about what a great fishing destination Bermuda is. It is as wonderful as it sounds.
So yes, I do consider myself lucky, but not for the reasons you may think.
I'm lucky because I survived a gas explosion.
In mid-October, my Bermuda dream home blew up with me in it.
I've survived to fish another day.
I haven't seen the bill from the hospital yet, but it will arrive, as sure as the fallen snow on Nova Scotia.
It was painful and traumatizing. But, with many signs, of something greater at play, I feel that a miracle happened that day.
Leaky gas lines caused the explosion that destroyed my concrete-fortified home. I call it the "Big Bang." The blast was so strong that it blew me off my feet and hurled me across the room, knocking me unconscious. I thought that my lungs had collapsed.
Our neighbors' toilet blew clean off the wall and flooded their house with filthy water. All of the houses on the block had doors and windows blown in and the neighbors had to go stay in hotels until it was safe to return. Concrete flew for a city block and conjecture of what was going on, was also flying about. Everyone on the island felt the blast. Some people wondered if it was Al Qaeda, a drone strike perhaps or attempted murder.
Amazingly, no one was killed.
Most significantly, everything that had to do with fishing survived the blast.
This is my theory for why the Big Bang happened: "I guess someone is trying to tell me something. "Time to go fishing?"
So I've moved into a temporary residence for the next few years while my house is being rebuilt. I've bought new stuff, but some things just can't be replaced, like my grandmother's china and crystal. Some things that were saved, I will treasure even more, like my fishing library.
All week I've been sorting out my fishing books and getting lost in their pages.
"How to" books by the likes of Joan Wulff, Lefty Kreh, Mel Krieger line the shelves. I took time to revisit my antique and modern fly-tying books by master tiers. As well, I have books on saltwater, freshwater, still water and even frozen water fishing. Rod building books by master craftsman stand next to autobiographies and biographies of fishing legends from days past.
My library is as varied as the sport itself.
Having a near-death experience has got me thinking about all the things that still need doing.
"Fish are, of course, indispensable to the angler. They give him an excuse for fishing and justify the fly rod without which he would be a mere vagrant. And it is these memories of days a-stream that lead the angler to find in the literature of the art, those records and comments, that philosophizing of other anglers, that he will delight to compare with his own."
I found this quote in the forward to the book, The Pleasures of Fly Fishing, by V.S Hidy. This book, and others, sat on my shelf for years. I was so busy fishing that I didn't have time to read all the books in my library nor did I make time to do a long list of other things that I had planned on getting to someday: joining the rose society in Bermuda, getting a dog and writing a book of my own, for example. The explosion and living with Chronic Lyme disease have changed all that and I have been forced to slow down and live more consciously.
One thing that hasn't changed is that as a city person, I need to connect with the wilderness and with the magic and mystery of ever-flowing water. Fishing is a great excuse to do exactly that.
I must admit, there is nothing like the pleasure I get from casting a fly …
And you know? Some good did come from the "big bang."
The 'Big Boat' theory
She is named after my last film "Evolution of an Angler".

Serviced Flats – A Mixture Of Your Home & Hotel Stays
It is not hard at all to understand why more and more people rely on serviced flats London instead of the classic hotels. They simply bring in a lot of extra advantages. Most importantly, you save a lot of money for plenty of facilities that you might not be able to get in a hotel, whether it comes to a kitchen, an extra bedroom or a washing machine. Things like these are clearly very attractive, yet a lot of people are still concerned about other facilities. Fortunately, there is nothing to worry about.
Facilities coming with serviced flats
Believe it or not, serviced apartments represent a middle solution between hotels and apartments. They are flexible and combine the convenience of an apartment with the facilities from a hotel. While this is not a general rule, some serviced flats provide gyms, swimming pools, conference rooms, wireless Internet, parking areas and so on.
If there are any things that you can find in a hotel and not in a serviced flat, those include restaurants and room service facilities. Ask about all the features upfront, only to ensure that they actually meet your necessities. There is just no better way to make an informed decision.

Bloomington PRIDE SummerfestPosted in: B-town's Rainbow Flavor -
Written by guest blogger Sarah Perfetti, Director of Fundraising and Events for Bloomington PRIDE, Bloomington resident since 2009 and IU alumnae.
Finally! An LGBTQA summer event in Bloomington!
We at Bloomington PRIDE are often asked why Bloomington, the gayest city in Indiana, doesn't host a summer pride event. Well, it takes quite a bit of planning and volunteer brain power, not to mention financial muscle, to pull off a grand street festival. But that hasn't stopped this new nonprofit from taking on this awesome challenge. Our volunteers are a bunch of Energizer bunnies, and with the support of The Back Door, we've succeeded at bringing three days of rainbow-colored fun to the streets of our city. That includes dozens of musicians from a variety of genres, drag shows, and an array of family-friendly hands-on art activities like a photo booth with costumes, rainbow jewelry making, and balloon twisting. Of course, folks can also pig out on tasty food truck grub and wash it down with their favorite local beer or keep it classy with a glass of wine. Visit our website for more Summerfest details but here's the gist of it.
- September 5th: kickoff party and walking parade
- September 6th: the big queer block party
- September 7th: Sungay brunch followed by a trans* mixer in the evening
Bloomington PRIDE'sSummerfest Steering Committee is a group of nine dedicated volunteers, the owners of The Back Door, and PRIDE's director of fundraising and events. Our volunteers include IU students and alumni, parents, straight allies, and a drag queen --who've all been meeting twice a month since April. They take care of everything from collaborating with City officials and other pride festivals to graphic design and talent management. Because of this passionate group of volunteers, the first annual Summerfest will be bigger and better than we could have imagined.
There are loads of summer pride festivals around the country,so why bother hosting one in Bloomington? What's so special about our city and what makes this festival different from others? We often hear from LGBTQ people and our straight allies that there aren't many places in the Midwest - and specifically in the Hoosier state - to celebrate queer culture. But Bloomington is unique in its acceptance and celebration of the entire spectrum of LGBTQ and allied individuals. But there still aren't enough ways for LGBTQ folks to get together, celebrate, and make connections, because most of the time we're just living our normal lives. When we leave our homes we all just want to be treated like regular human beings because that's what we are. We're small-business owners, people with kids who worry about not mowing our lawns enough, people who like to play nerdy board games with our neighbors, people who accidentally wear mismatched socks to work, or people who want to hold our partner's hand on the way to dinner. Bloomington is one of those uniquely safe and supportive spaces where folks can just be themselves. It's the perfect progressive, artsy Indiana city to host an event like Summerfest to attract all sorts of unique people.
We hope visitors will attend multiple Summerfest events. For people who just spenttoo muchon new rainbow sequin suspenders, there are affordable lodging options in town, or for the outdoorsy folks there's always free camping at the Hoosier National Forest. Fortunately, Summerfest is free so you won't need to spend money to enter. There are a number of adorable bed and breakfasts in Bloomington like the Grant Street Inn and Scholar's Inn Bed and Breakfast,or for a discounted rate, book a room at Hyatt Place, the newest hotel in town. Other lodging options can be found here on Visit Bloomington's website.Posted on: Monday, Aug 11, 2014 7:05 AM by: Julie Warren
Staff Picks: Tenderloin SandwichesPosted in: Wine & Culinary -
The Monroe County Fair just ended the 2014 run, and the state fair is still going on this week, so it seems timely to talk about one of Indiana's most famous fair foods: the pork tenderloin sandwich.
It's a beaten, breaded, fried circle of goodness, sometimes bigger than a dinner plate, sometimes thick and juicy like a steak. You can always find good ones at the Monroe County fair (the little stand between the animal barns and the fairway has the best- as you can see from the photo of me chowing down on one) but you can also get these glorious gut busters year-round at a number of fine establishments. So I asked our staff: where do you pig out on pork tenderloins?
• Mike - The Irish Lion tenderloin is a little different but very good. And the one at the Convenient Mart is good; they have the best convenience store food in town.
• Ryan - Upland Brewing Company has a delicious seitan tenderloin sandwich! That's my (only) choice. (Ryan is our resident vegan, which gives us a good perspective for all the herbivores out there. For those who don't know what seitan is, here's a link to a definition.)
• Teal - The Irish Lion! There's something about the sauce they put on it that's so good. I knew their Irish food was good, but was surprised that the all-American tenderloin was so tasty!
• Julie - I love me a fried tenderloin, but if we're talking pork tenderloin in general, I have to go with the shaved pork loin sandwich at Sweetgrass. The pork is juicy, and it's covered in bacon, ranch, cheese and southern style slaw. Now I'm hungry.
• Laura - The Office Lounge has a great tenderloin - the breading isn't too heavy-and I get it with mayo, pickles, onion and their old-school crinkle cut French fries!
• Erin - I haven't ever eaten a tenderloin in Bloomington (shocking!) but I've heard Yogi's has a good one.
So there you have it-several places to enjoy a good old tenderloin sandwich. I would say there are probably a dozen more that we didn't list. So tell us, who has the best tenderloin sandwich?
Uncork the Uplands: A Signature EventPosted in: Wine & Culinary -
Guest blog written by Donna Adams, co-owner of Winzerwald Winery in Bristow, Indiana. Donna and her husband and co-owner, Dan, come from German wine-making families and have certificates from Purdue University in viticulture and enology.
the Uplands 2014: 4th
Annual Indiana Uplands Wine Trail Signature Event
So, why does the Indiana Uplands Wine Trail call Uncork the Uplands its "signature event?" In 2010, the Uplands Wine Trail received a grant from the Indiana Department of Agriculture Specialty Crop Grant Program to create an event that would showcase southern Indiana agriculture and more specifically - grapes as a specialty crop. The event was to showcase Indiana wines and foods and educate consumers about the importance of agricultural tourism and wineries to the State's economy. The hope was to brand southern Indiana as a viticultural and agri-tourism destination to strengthen the rural economy and its agribusinesses in the region.
The first Uncork the Uplands in 2011 was held at Huber's Orchard and Winery in Starlight whose winery is surrounded by acres of vineyards and other fruit and specialty crops including blackberries, strawberries, peaches, apples, pumpkins and Christmas trees. This setting proved to be a great backdrop for the event's featured guest speaker, Andrea Immer, renowned chef and the first female certified sommelier. The event was a two day event with Friday evening's reception entitled "Culinary & Cocktails" featuring Andrea performing live cooking classes and marrying those dishes with Indiana Uplands wines. Andrea had amazing things to say about the quality of the Upland's wines while delighting the audience during live cooking demonstrations with her and her husband's laid back humorous style. Guests enjoyed wine tasting, Indiana foods from Farm Bloomington, Capriole Cheeses, Mapleleaf Farms, 240 Sweet Treats, the Indiana Pork Producers, Tabula Rosa, and Eagle Point. Mango Salsa, Venison, Soba Noodles, Honey Ginger Ice Cream, Gourmet Cheeses & Tortes were just among a few of the items served from these magnificent Indiana restaurants and agribusinesses.
The Saturday event titled "The Winemaker's Dinner" was a huge success with guests including wine lovers, event sponsors and Indiana legislators being seated for a 4 course meal. Each course of the meal highlighted wines from the trail and throughout the dinner the nine wineries and their owners came forward to speak on behalf of their wines and their winemaking style. What an awesome opportunity to hear directly from those who care for the grapes, harvest, and produce the wines that were being poured throughout the evening! And if that wasn't enough Andrea Robinson spoke about the Indiana Uplands Wine Trail wines and how they compared to those she had tasted both nationally and internationally. Andrea was on hand for a book signing and to talk to guests about her simple approach to wines from her recent book "Great Wines Made Simple". And, guests were given a special wine glass designed by Andrea herself.
We returned to Huber's Orchard and Winery for year two and decided to create a single day event to make it easier for those attending to experience the entire event. Hotel packages were still offered in 2012 as a convenience for those wishing to stay and visit the wineries as part of their getaway.
We learned that the Friday night informal event was much more enjoyed by the guests and a much better way to showcase the agricultural products of our region than was the formal banquet dinner. So, 2012's event took on a the form of a grazing dinner with the Saturday evening event beginning with culinary demonstrations with special guest Daniel Orr, the internationally renowned chef and creator/proprietor of FARMbloomington. The celebration featured sensational pairing stations of the Indiana Upland Trail's first-rate wines and regional foods, featuring Mr. Orr as special guest. Daniel Orr is the author of Daniel Orr: Real Food, FARMfood - Green Living with Chef Daniel Orr and creator of the popular radio show and podcast Earth Eats.
The grazing dinner proved to be a tremendous success with special wine cocktails, fantastic musicians, incredible green cooking all married with the best wines Indiana has to offer from the wine trail wineries.
It was time to make it more convenient for our guests in more northerly locations to attend and our event was moved to Bloomington with our grazing dinner taking place at the downtown convention center with optional tours at Oliver Winery's showcase vineyard of over 30,000 vines. The wine trail was celebrating its feat of obtaining a American Viticultural Area designation for the Indiana Uplands which was announced in February. Therefore, adding vineyard tours to the event was important in educating wine lovers about the designation and its importance to the wine trail and to Indiana agriculture.
The Indiana Uplands AVA, encompassing 4800-square miles of South Central Indiana grape-growing terrain, has been pursued for nearly ten years by the nine wineries of the Indiana Uplands Wine Trail. Implemented in 1978, the AVA system identifies the origin of American wines in a manner similar to a system used by France and since that time 200 AVA's have been established. A wine with an AVA designation on its label must have 85 percent of its grapes grown in that viticultural area. The designation also allows wineries in the AVA to designate wines grown in the region as "estate bottled."
The Indiana Uplands AVA runs in a band from the Morgan-Monroe County line near Bloomington south to the Ohio River, a distance of just over 100 miles. Its greatest east/west distance is approximately 65 miles, from near Jasper in Dubois County to Knobstone Ridge near Starlight. The area is unique in its climate, soils and terrain and is defined by the remnants of an unglaciated plateau. To be a member of the Indiana Uplands Wine Trail, your winery must be located within the Indiana Uplands AVA.
Building on the importance of the State's new American Viticultural Area designation, Uncork 2014 will take place at Oliver Winery's Creekbend Vineyard itself in Ellettsville. This country venue will really help guests to truly experience the vineyard ambiance and the important role that the wineries play in both regional agritourism and agribusiness. Unocrk the Uplands 2014 will include a Barbecue Dinner and hog roast with music by Art Four Sale - a great Nashville-based jazz quartet http://www.artfoursale.com. All nine wineries will be featured in the wine tasting tent set atop a hill in the middle of the expansive Oliver vineyard. Tours of the vineyard will talk about the various grapes grown in Indiana and will include wine tastings in the vineyard of wines made from those grape varieties. Hotel packages are available at three area hotels and tickets may be purchased on-line through the website at www.uncorktheuplands.com. New this year, guests will be able to purchase their favorites from the varieties offered to take home with them. We hope you can join us for this incredible celebration - all nine superb Uplands Wine Trail wineries and their wines in one great location!

Staff Picks: Summer SwimmingPosted in: Family Fun -
July in Indiana means scorching hot days with humidity high enough to be visible by the naked eye. I'm sweating just thinking about it. So what does one do to keep cool during these unbearably hot days? Go swimming, of course! We're lucky, around here there are plenty of places to go swimming, each with their own unique assets. So our staff has provided their favorite places to cool off during the summer months.
- Mike- The spillway on Monroe Lake is my favorite place to go swimming. It's free, easy to access, not a lot of people are around, and you can take your dog with you.
- Jordan- Lake Monroe of course! The side west of the causeway is great for wakeboarding and tubing, and the east side is good if you want to relax a bit, since it's the idle zone and a little more quiet. (Jordan's answer hinges on having access to a boat-but if you don't own one, there are several boat rental places at the lake! Also, the official name is Monroe Lake, but most people reverse it, like Jordan.)
- Julie- The splash pad at Karst Farm Park is fantastic for families. It's not so much a swimming hole (there's no pool, or even pooling of water) but the sprayers are great for cooling off and young kids can take part, which is awesome. They have a playground right next to it as well, so kids can get wet then dry off zooming down the slides. And maybe best of all, it's free!
- Laura- Hardin Ridge Recreation Area at Monroe Lake is my favorite. It's a little bit further away, but there is a good mix of sunny and shady areas, and places for kids to play. There are also trails nearby for hiking, and camping sites too.
- Teal- I LOVE the IU Outdoor Pool! I have great memories of the one summer of college I worked as a lifeguard and taught swim lessons. They have lap swimming in the mornings and then open it up for recreational swimming in the afternoon, and have a separate shallow pool for the little ones. My favorite part is the diving well. They usually open up the 1, 3 and 5 meter platforms for jumping...it's the only pool in town where you can jump off a board that high!
- Ryan- I like to go to Grubb Ridge trail head in Deam Wilderness and hike off-trail (north) to Monroe lake. There are countless "private beaches" along the shoreline.
- Erin- The IU Outdoor Pool is my favorite. It's got a great pool deck with lots of chairs to layout out and good music over the PA system!
So many options! There are several other public swimming pools and beaches worth checking out, including Bryan Park pool (an excellent family option with water slides and zero-depth kiddie pool), Jellystone Park (they have a cool new splash zone) and Riddle Point Park at Lake Lemon (an excellent beach with less traffic than the Monroe Lake options.) So the question is, where do you like to splash around?

Staff Picks: Limestone Rocks!Posted in: Arts & Culture -
June is limestone month, a time when the communities in Monroe and Lawrence counties celebrate the limestone heritage, industry, architecture and artistry that permeates the area. Besides enjoying the sights along the Indiana Limestone Heritage Trail (as you can do all year long), there are special events and activities that only happen in June. There are guided tours, presentations and special exhibits that all highlight that unique geological feature that lies under our feet. You can find a calendar of limestone events and more information on that trail at www.limestonemonth.com. To celebrate limestone month with this month's Staff Picks blog, I asked everyone to share with me their favorite limestone experience or attraction.
- Teal- My favorite limestone feature is located in one of my favorite spots in town where all my favorite events happen! The Bloomington Banquet sculpture is located on the B-Line trail right behind city hall, the same spot where the Farmers' Market and Taste of Bloomington take place. It represents all the things that the town & the community bring to the table to make Bloomington so great & unique, and it reminds me of all the great food & restaurants we have here as well!
- Ryan- I love the natural limestone bluffs along the western most portion of the Grubb Ridge Loop in Deam Wilderness.
- Mike- I love the Gothic styles of many of the building on Indiana University's campus. Every time I walk through there I know I'm being watched by gargoyles, serpents, owls and bats as I've caught a couple of their eyes moving on occasion. It's a little bit freaky but very cool.
- Erin- My favorite limestone feature in the area is the building that my great-grandfather owned and ran his cobbler shop out of (on H Street in Bedford) that has my last name, Erdmann, carved into a limestone header at the top of the building.
- Tosha- Touring the underground quarry at Elliott Stone Company is unique and fascinating. (Check out Tosha's previous blog about the experience here.)
- Carol- Several years ago I had the good fortune to take a walking tour of the IU campus led by Brian Keith of the Indiana Geological Survey. While I had always admired the beauty of the limestone buildings, the expertise and enthusiasm he demonstrated led to an even greater appreciation. The raw material itself is beautiful, but to see what generations of artisans have constructed from it - both massive buildings and intricate carvings - with a most knowledgeable guide was a terrific experience.
- Sam- I've always been intrigued by the "little Stonehenge" at the Bloomington Harley store. How it got there is just as puzzling as the real Stonehenge, but I bet it was just a bunch of tough bikers.
- Marcia- I like the limestone sculpture (Red, Blonde, Black and Olive) at the Miller-Showers Park as you enter town from the north. The two faces just say welcome home! It shows that Bloomington is an outgoing and welcoming community to everyone.
- Laura- I think the limestone carvers are amazing artists. That they can take this huge block of stone and turn them into works of art is pretty awesome. The visions they have and the care in creating something (one wrong tap or cut and they have to start over) is pretty cool. (Check out the Indiana Limestone Symposium this month to see some carvers in action, or take a hand carving class yourself!)
- Julie- It's not very experiential, but I like seeing the old quarries along the side of the road. They're kind of haunting; these massive piles of stone surrounding cavernous quarries now filled with water. But they're pretty too, and reminders of the powerful industry and the unique geology of the area.
The variety of experiences you can have with limestone is expansive. There's great artwork, amazing architecture, nature appreciation and historical appeal. And many times, there's a local connection to the stone or the industry. Limestone is a part of Bloomington's culture from the bedrock underground to the gargoyles high overhead. I'd say limestone pretty much rocks!

Explore Artistic Spaces in Bloomington - June 7-8, 2014Posted in: Arts & Culture -
"I love to explore the places where people create their art, like being privy to the laboratories of scientists with their workings, formulas, diagrams and mysterious-to-me machines on display. Just this type of opportunity to explore exists in the Bloomington Open Studios Tour on June 7 and 8th. Forty artists will open their doors to any who wish to experience the inner workings of a studio space, to meet and talk with the artists and to see their art, both in-progress and completed, and to have an opportunity to purchase a piece directly from them.
An artist's studio is full of designs and renderings and is usually strewn with curious diverse materials like oily paint, shredded plastic bags, onion-dyed textiles, or torch-cut industrial scrap. Each space varies according to the needs of the maker, sometimes being tightly organized like a Montessori classroom or another an open, retrofitted space with materials, tools, and partially completed works oozing out into the surrounding woods. Myriad tools or mechanisms that assist the artist's making are layered about such as hand-punches for leather, a wood-fired outdoor kiln, hanging from the ceiling gantry devices, a sewing machine or loom, a computer, or a laser-jet cutter.
I had just moved to Bloomington prior to last year's event and thought that this might be the perfect opportunity to check out the art-maker community of my new home. It far exceeded my expectations. Not knowing my way around the city the maps guided me on delightful tours including city walks through Bloomington's architecturally significant BEAD district, tightly knit urban neighborhoods, the outer suburban ring with glorious gardens, and beyond the city into greater Bloomington's famous cascading countryside replete with yellow fields, hilly ravines, and limestone outcroppings. Some of the artists shared work or exhibit space while others worked in complete isolation. As a visitor, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in a dialogue with an artist, to simply listen to an ongoing conversation, or to view quietly and have only an internal relationship with the works of art. I found there was simply not enough time to experience all that I wanted to given the richness of offerings.
One artist showed her narrative daily diaries that took colorful pictorial form in machine quilted collages, another showed fancifully decorative furniture, and another displayed geometric, suspended pieces that juxtaposed brightly-hued fused glass with polished, sculptural steel elements. Yet another had a magnificent vintage letter-press on which the artist printed a range of objects from broadsides and chapbooks to posters and teeshirts, taking an early 20th century technology of communication and using it both as a nostalgic device while making it still relevant. Various painters used traditional watercolor techniques, or improvisational bold gestures in oil paint, or miniature brushed egg tempera in jeweled layers to render landscapes while ceramicists used humble clay to create mugs that fit beautifully in the hand to monumental hand-built sculptures that resembled cairns. Jewelers showed studios on an almost miniature scale, displaying diverse pieces that ranged from expressive connections of found objects to meticulously crafted, hand-sawed or cast silver elements imbedded with gemstones. There was such a broad range of ideas, processes, materials, and techniques this list could go on for pages.
Inspired and amazed by this enormous outpouring of creativity in Bloomington, I determined that I would participate in the 2014 BOST. My husband and I have almost completed the build of our studio/shop and will open it to all of you on June 7th and 8th. My blacksmith and steel fabrication shop is close to completion where I would love to show you some of my wares and sculpture, the glass shop isn't quite up and running yet but examples of torchworked jewelry are here, and another artist who paints birds and landscapes principally with watercolor and sumi ink in the manner of a Chinese brush painting will be displaying her work in our classroom/gallery. Many such duo showings are happening on this year's tour and in addition, some artists will be demonstrating their techniques.
This year's BOST has 40 artists who each will be delighted to talk with you about how their work unfolds, share with you their discoveries, and will value the fresh eyes that you bring to their process. And not so incidentally, there will be treats including the famous thumb-print jelly cookies of one of our artists!"
Special thanks to our guest blogger, and BOST participant, Michal Ann Carley. With an impressive background painting, working for art museums and as a professor of art and art history, Michal Anne recently relocated to Bloomington. Here, she and her husband mantain Luna Song Designs, which is a teaching studio specializing in forging and fabrication, glass and woodworking.Posted on: Wednesday, May 28, 2014 7:05 AM by: Tosha Daugherty
Fourth IU Summer Festival of the Arts offers something for everyone!Posted in: Arts & Culture -
After living in Bloomington during the summer for the first time, I learned to never underestimate the joy of easily finding a parking space on Kirkwood Avenue or quickly getting a table at the Village Deli on late Sunday mornings.
This year marks my third summer in Bloomington, and the peace and quiet
that follows the end of spring semester never gets old. But I know if I ever
get bored, I can visit one of several arts events offered by Indiana University
Bloomington, conveniently listed on the IU Summer
Festival of the Arts calendar.
Exhibits, theater productions, films, live music - the arts on campus don't stop just because the students leave town. In fact, the Summer Festival of the Arts began in 2011 with the goal of supporting the creation of new arts events for residents and tourists, as well as those attending the various camps, conferences and workshops held on campus.
Many of the arts events are free and family-friendly, like the production "School House Rock Live!" as part of the 2014 Indiana Festival Theatre, offered by IU Bloomington's Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance within the College of Arts and Sciences. And if you want to leave the kids at home, head to the IU Cinema where you can choose from a diverse lineup of foreign, drama and documentary films.

The Bills wanted a Franchise Quarterback.They stated they wanted a QB.
Fans say hey choose who you believe in while you can get them. Now the pick is in people don't agree and all the sudden Buddy goes from a genius in trading down from #8 to being the worst GM again. How short lived was that?(8 picks but who is counting?)
The trade gave us the ability to be risky in the first round. It is obvious there are going to be some skill players that are going to fall into the 2nd round.
We can still great a great WR prospect and LB prospect. I know the Bills love Minter so I'm hoping he sneaks down to the 2nd round. Where I'm guessing there will be a run on QBs. So far no WR have been selected either besides Tavon Austin who is an all around player.
We have a shot to wrap up at least 3 starters, so I"m pumped. Also this post is just a shout out to EJ Manuel. I'm glad you're a Bills player. I think you showed a lot of class in your interview and true emotions. I was waiting for some real emotions and it was great to see you with your family.
I wish you the best EJ, I have faith in Marrone and Hackett to really bring up EJ Manuel. You built Ryan Nassib up from nothing and now you are starting off with more in EJ Manuel so GO BILLS!!!

Prime Minister gets terrorist list powers
Alt Tv/Fleet FM Breakfast News
Prime Minister gets terrorist list powers
The New Zealand High Court review process on who or what can be considered a terrorist or a terrorist group will be by-passed under a new law proposed by the Labour-led Government. The Terrorism Suppression Amendment Bill, if passed by Parliament, will see New Zealand follow the United States of America and Australia in empowering a nation's political leader (the Prime Minister in New Zealand's case) to decide who is a terrorist. It also automatically adds to New Zealand's official terrorist organisations list those the United Nations' Security Council recommends. Currently a High Court Judge would make such a declaration of who a terrorist is, that check and balanced judicial power has been moved into the hands of the Prime Minister, The Prime Minister now gets to declare who is and isn't a terrorist – shouldn't everyone be very concerned that has happened and not a mention of it in the mainstream media?

The man who died after a 65-foot fall at Turner Field in Atlanta Monday night has been identified. Officials said 29-year-old Ronald Homer of Conyers fell during the Braves Phillies game.
Atlanta police said the fall appeared to be accidental and added it is too early to tell if alcohol played a factor. An autopsy is planned Tuesday.
This is the second falling death at an Atlanta sporting venue in the last year. On Aug. 31, a Tennessee fan died after falling about 45-feet at the Georgia Dome during a college football game between North Carolina State and Tennessee.

News: Royce Da 5'9 On Delivering 1,2 SoundScan Punch, "You Know I Ain't Never Sold No Records"
Thursday, Jun 23, 2011 9:09AM
After taking the Top 200 music sales chart by storm yesterday with a chart-topping Hell: The Sequel album, Shady Records' Royce Da 5'9 now shares his reaction to helping hip-hop dominate its competition once again.
Admitting his joint EP alongside Eminem had potential, Royce said his primary focus was putting together a solid effort.
"You know I ain't never sold no records," Royce said to MTV News, laughing. "I knew it had the potential. I just really was more focused on the whole 'critically acclaimed' thing, and I think we achieved that. I'm only hearing good things about how people feel about the album." (MTV)
Yesterday, the duo's project topped its competition with over 171,000 sold copies in seven days.
Leading the pack this week is Eminem and Royce Da 5'9's Hell: The Sequel debuting at No. 1. According to Nielsen SoundScan, Bad Meets Evil's long-awaited retail project pushed 171,100 units after seven days of availability. (SOHH Sales Wrap)
Last week, early projections showed the LP selling no more than 160,000 units.
Bad Meets Evil's Hell: The Sequel, the Shady/Interscope collaboration between Eminem and his old Detroit hip-hop pal Royce Da 5'9", gets the slight edge for #1 on next week's HITS Album chart with estimated sales of between 150-160k over Columbia 11-year-old America's Got Talent prodigy Jackie Evancho's Dream With Me, now in the 140-150k range. This is one horse race that won't be decided until sales trends become clearer later in the week. (HITS Daily Double)
The project features collaborations from Slaughterhouse and pop star Bruno Mars.
1. "Welcome 2 Hell" (Havoc) 2. "Fastlane" (Supa Dups) 3. "The Reunion" (Sid Roams) 4. "Above the Law" (Mr. Porter) 5. "I'm on Everything" feat. Mike Epps (Mr. Porter) 6. "A Kiss" (Bangladesh) 7. "Lighters" feat. Bruno Mars (Eminem, The Smeezingtons, and Battle Roy) 8. "Take from Me" (Mr. Porter) 9. "Loud Noises" feat. Slaughterhouse (Mr. Porter) (Hell: The Sequel)

If packed First Fridays are any indication, Denver's art scene is booming. Meet seven local artists who are dripping, collaging, and welding their way onto museum and gallery walls around the country.
The Scientists
Monica and Tyler Aiello
Husband and wife Monica and Tyler Aiello are a study in opposites. In a small garage behind their Highland house, 41-year-old Monica crafts conceptual landscapes: layers of paint, ink, yarn, and tissue paper that mimic the geologic processes on planets and moons. After studying NASA images and talking to scientists, Monica hand-dyes fibers, splatters paint, and drips ink to show the timeline of evolution on one of Jupiter's moons. "I'm not just trying to say, 'Here's an image; let me paint that landscape,' " she says. "It's 'How is that landscape formed, and what techniques can I develop to emulate or interpret that geologic process?' "
Tyler's work takes a different shape. He welds, molds, and colors metal to show primarily the microcosmic aspects of our world: seeds, water structures, other universal formations. Every inch of his 2,700-square-foot workshop behind Sports Authority Field at Mile High is covered with tools, massive shelves, and works in progress. Tyler's laborious method involves creating molds out of Styrofoam, coating them in plastic, wrapping the metal around—connecting hundreds of circles together—before having to cut it all off the mold and put it back together again. "I'm a builder," he says. "I consider myself mostly a maker of things."
Although the couple work separately, their pieces are best appreciated in concert: A broad image emerges from the repetitive shapes that abound in our universe, familiar but seen from an entirely new perspective. "The arts and sciences," Monica says, "are a married entity."
