U.S. to Spend $3 Million on Research for CBD and Pain

September 21st, 2019

The U.S. government intends on spending $3 million on research for CBD; none of the money will be spent on the THC counterpart which gets you high. Nine research grants have been approved that research CBD in everything from food to beauty products, along with some other lesser known chemicals, but THC was specifically excluded from the funding. Many find this to be an incomplete analysis of marijuana and pain management, as it is still unclear exactly what part of the plant may be helpful in pain management. This also inhibits the ability to discover whether pain can be managed without the intoxicating... Read More

CPW Says Do Not Put Bobcats in Car with Children

September 21st, 2019

A Colorado Springs woman is being chastised by Colorado Parks and Wildlife for placing an injured bobcat in her vehicle with her child. When the woman saw the animal and initially picked it up, the animal was dazed and unresponsive to the movement. The bobcat had been hit by a car and was injured. The woman called CPW to come retrieve the animal. When CPW removed the bobcat from the car, it was hissing, growling, and clawing in an effort to protect itself. CPW ended up euthanizing the animal due to the extent of its injuries. “It could have been a very dangerous situation for this woman if... Read More

Janelle Anderson

September 21st, 2019

Janelle W. Anderson creates paintings and drawings that that relate to memory, consciousness, dreams, perception of time, and the human condition. She is currently working on a series of landscape-inspired paintings that explore the void and impossible objects. The compositions invoke a dreamlike, questionable reality that is familiar, yet impossible. The void creeps into some of these landscapes, dripping and eroding into the scene, at times, threatening to take over completely. She employs the use of collage and hard edges to mimic the way dreams jump from one subject or action to the next without... Read More

Ryan Montbleau Band and Grayson Erhard at Globe Hall

September 21st, 2019

Globe Hall is an awesome restaurant and music venue in RiNo. The historic red brick building has always been home to various taverns and the like. In 2015, Globe Hall moved in and began selling out shows, hosting a huge variety of touring and local acts. The well-worn bar has as much character as the bands that take the stage and the award winning Texas-style BBQ goes great with the cheap drinks. Saturday, September 28th, Globe Hall welcomes the Ryan Montbleau Band and Grayson Erhard. Montbleau began playing shows in his hometown of Boston in the early 2000s, quickly working his way up from coffee... Read More

Denver Broncos – Bulletin Board Material

September 20th, 2019

After an 0-2 start, the last thing the Denver Broncos probably need is more ridicule and criticism.  Afterall, the defense has looked solid, Joe Flacco is throwing the ball well, and if it wasn’t for a bad roughing-the-quarterback call last Sunday, Denver would be just a game out of first.  But consider this early season bulletin board material—and a wakeup call—because if the losses continue to pile up, the press will continue to pile on.  Here are the early season victims. Phillip Lindsay – My nickname for Lindsay is Macarena.  After rushing for over 1,000 yards and making the Pro... Read More

CDC Warns of a Bad Flu Season

September 19th, 2019

It’s impossible to know for certain how a flu season will be, but the flu season in the Southern Hemisphere may be an indicator for how bad the flu will be in the Northern Hemisphere. In Australia, where winter and flu season are wrapping up, the flu started early in the year and a particularly virulent flu strain, H3N2, dominated. In the US, a 4-year-old child has already died from the flu. A death so early in the season can also indicate a particularly nasty flu that may be worse than usual. Last year’s flu season ran from Oct. 1, 2018, to May 4. Doctors recommend getting the flu... Read More

Colorado Woman Becomes First to Swim English Channel 4 Times in a Row

September 18th, 2019

Sarah Thomas, a 37-year-old breast cancer survivor, has accomplished a first by swimming the English Channel four times in a row, a feat that took 54 hours to accomplish. The swim was due to be about 80 miles, but because of strong tides, Thomas ended up swimming closer to 130 miles. Thomas was cheered on by the crowd as she finished, and she was given champagne and chocolate to celebrate. She said that she felt slightly sick after spending so much time in the water, but other than that she was fine. Thomas said, “I just can’t believe we did it. I’m really just pretty numb. There... Read More

Top 3 Restaurants in Aurora

September 18th, 2019

1. Rosie’s Diner   Rosie’s Diner is a quintessential 50s joint with greasy burgers and Southern favorites such as chicken fried steak. Any of the food is pretty good, but anything with gravy on top will be a true home run. Service is speedy and there’s rarely ever a wait, so feel free to pop in the next time you’re in Aurora. 2. Helga’s German Restaurant & Deli   There’s not a lot of German restaurants in Denver, so I’m always on the lookout for something that’s authentic and delicious. Helga’s German Restaurant & Deli is... Read More

Top 3 Restaurants in Lakewood

September 17th, 2019

1. Yard House   This high end sports bar has everything a Coloradoan might need: elevated food choices, cheap happy hour, and an entire menu devoted to their vegetarian and vegan menu. Yep, you read that right. This is the place to go before a Red Rocks show. I recommend the lobster garlic noodles, the truffle fries, and the street tacos, plus one of their beers during happy hour. 2. The Yabby Hut   This restaurant and bar with a seaside theme dumps pounds of food in front of you for an authentic seafood boil feel. Their house Cajun sauce is to die for, and you can always get it spicier... Read More

‘Forest Bathing’ is the Newest Trend in Colorado

September 17th, 2019

The trend does not include actual bathing, luckily, and does not necessarily even need to take place in a forest. Instead, forest bathing is an act of meditation and mindfulness meant to help you connect with nature, others, and yourself. “The point is to slow down and truly tune in your senses to the nature that surrounds you,” certified forest therapy guide Leona Campbell told Denver7. “We make our way though sight, what are the sounds, how does this feel, what are the smells?” she said. “Just a way of bringing ourselves into the present moment in a way we so rarely do.” Forest bathing... Read More
