The Pacific Frost cannabis strain is an indica-dominant hybrid. This bud is brought to us by the breeding masters at California. In terms of its lineage, as its name lets on, Pacific Frost Strain was created by crossing Pacific OG and Frosty marijuana strains. The plant is a beauty to look at, as the name suggests it has frosty green buds to complement it the buds are covered in white crystal trichomes. It has a sweet flavour profile with notes of grape and berry. The aroma has a similar sweet undertone. The strain is known for its medical benefits. Patients who have used Pacific Frost find that it helps in treating conditions such as anxiety, nausea and attention deficit disorders. This smoke is suitable for users of all experience levels, if you are a newbie however, we would recommend taking a humble dosage to start off. It is worth noting that this is a strain best taken during the evening and nighttime as a way to wind down after a long day or week. It is not recommended for daytime use. You are probably more curious about the kind of high that this weed will give you. Occasional users say that Pacific Frost gives you a strong body high. The high sets in with relaxing and calming sensations. This relaxation can include sedation, hence it not being ideal for daytime use. This strain is known to bring on positive vibes. Even if you had a lot of burdens weighing down on your mind, this strain can have you feeling more positive almost immediately. It is a good smoke for having a chill session with friends as it will have you feeling happier than usual. If you have been experiencing any level of lethargy, this is the perfect strain for you. On this high, you will begin to feel energized to complete even the most mundane tasks. Try doing a pile of laundry on this high or even working out. Pacific Frost can also give you a creative edge. On this high, you can have a decent brainstorming session and complete any artistic projects you need to. Some users find that the strain launches them into giggling fits, another reason why this strain is great for smoking with friends. Enjoy the laughs as you puff and pass. The calming effect helps in soothing various ranges of pain you might be suffering from. Patients with migraines and headaches can find quick relief from this strain. Pacific Frost is also an effective pain management medical marijuana solution for women’s health. It can effectively soothe menstrual cramps. People who suffer from muscle spasms can also use Pacific Frost as a treatment. As earlier mentioned, the strain’s mood uplifting properties help in relieving mental health issues. It is helpful for patients with chronic stress, anxiety and panic disorders as well as depression and attention deficit disorders. Most cancer patients going through chemotherapy suffer from unbearable nausea and lack of appetite. Pacific Frost has properties that help to settle the stomach while stimulating appetite. A negative side effect of this strain, as with most weed strains, is dry mouth.

If you live in Denver, you should go skiing at least once a year—full stop. There, I’ve said it. It might be controversial, but we believe that if you live in Colorado and don’t make it to the mountains at least once every winter, you’re blowing it. Sure, there are plenty of fun activities for Denverites to do all year round that aren’t skiing, but a trip to the slopes is an important part of the experience of being a resident of The Mile High City, and it can be a fun and affordable pastime if you do it right. Here are the top 5 reasons why Denverites should hit the slopes every winter:
If you live in Denver, you have no excuse not to go skiing at least once every year. It’s not just a fun healthy pastime, it’s also an opportunity to go explore the mountains in a new way and see what all the hype is about. The post Top 5 Reasons Why Denverites Should Ski first appeared on The Denver Guide.from https://ondenver.com/top-5-reasons-why-denverites-should-ski/ KGNU radio station has been on the air in Colorado since the early 1970’s. Dave Ashton has graced those airwaves for the past 12 years. Originally from Indiana, Ashton got into music as a child. He saved up to buy his first record of Grandmaster Flash at eight years old. His parents, being a librarian and a school teacher, both encouraged his interest in hip hop and lyrical rap because of the fascination for word play. Ashton moved to Colorado in grade school, attended college in St. Paul, MN., then worked at Think Skateboards in San Francisco and a hot dog stand in Chicago. After all the traveling he decided he wanted to settle down back in the place he calls home, Colorado. He worked with nonprofits and bounced around doing different jobs until 2005 when he found KGNU radio. “I had been collecting records forever, like it was my dirty little secret. When everyone was blowing their money on big gulps and booze I was bopping around town searching for records. So eventually, KGNU became the outlet for that guilty pleasure.” Ashton said. He started at the radio station as a volunteer and soon began DJing for the show Restless Mornings, which aired from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. Next, he became a resident DJ on the Eclipse radio show as DJ Deeprawk Dave. Now, Ashton holds the title of Denver Program Manager though he is an advocate for changing that name to Denver Goal Keeper. As the goal keeper, he manages the volunteers and radio shows being sent out of the Denver location. He hopes that maintaining the Denver location will help highlight the voices of the community and provide all people access to airwaves. Though KGNU is Ashton’s main job, his true devotions are music and connecting with people of the city. One of the ways he is able to intertwine those passions is through his hip hop group, the Council of Word. He and his current partner, Danny One Shoe, have put out a handful of singles and two albums. They are currently working to finish their third album, Indignorance, by the end of the year. The album follows an early 2000’s style mixtape with multiple samples and scratches to set the tone. Beyond the beat, it could be considered conscious or activism rap with a splash of getting down. Ashton believes that even though the music scene of Denver is ever changing, swaying good and bad, he will always try to activate positive energy and constant elevation towards the city. “Now in Denver hip hop the mystery has kind of been taken out of it. People aren’t addressing it with the same laser focus that it takes to burn through what’s in people’s way, and there’s a lot of stuff in their way.” Ashton said. His main concern for the music scene in Denver is that the youth aren’t getting the music education they should have access to equally. In the early 90’s, when Ashton was coming up in the scene, there weren’t many programs like school of rock or guitar center classes. Today, Ashton believes, there isn’t an emphasis to have a public budget for music programs in schools. Though he will remain true to building Denver up, he does have observations about the changes in the city. In one of his songs, he weaves a story of a man collecting scrap metal from developing areas for money. He believes that that man could represent a positive or a negative for the city and the opposing views on displacement and gentrification. Out of the many things that Dave Ashton is truly passionate about, music is clearly at the top of the list. Get him on the topic of Denver musicians he already has Wheelchair Sports Camp, Mike Wird, Smiley Gatmouth and more on the tip of his tongue. Currently, he is working to showcase the artist Slim Pick Ends on stages around the city and has an upcoming show with him at Temple Tantrum. Some other events he is excited for this summer are Reggae on the grass on Jul. 29 at Levitt Pavilion and the Colorado Black Arts Festival in Denver’s City Park West Jul. 13-15.There will also be plenty of upcoming events KGNU throughout the summer.

About half of Quentin Tarantino’s filmography focuses on crime, and Pulp Fiction alone birthed legions of imitators. For years, there were scores of films involving loquacious scumbags holding forth on pop culture and committing unexpected (but completely expected) acts of violence. Some of these movies were even good. Tarantino’s crime movies are like a cheeseburger ordered at the trendiest restaurant you can imagine, cooked by the biggest celebrity chef out there. You’ll enjoy that burger, I promise you, but while you’re eating it, it’s as if the chef is leaning over you and whispering, “You like that? It kicks ass, right? You know who made it? Me.” It’s the most refined, boiled down to their essence crime movies, those are the ones that hit me hardest. They embrace the genre unreservedly, where the only people seem to be lowlives, where every utterance is at least partially a lie, and where dumb luck can be the only thing preventing you from catching a bullet. Steven Soderbergh has made a few damn fine crime movies* in the midst of his cinematic output. The Limey and Out of Sight spring to mind, and I think Soderbergh is a director with a strong understanding of how to make a satisfying genre film with something to say before inserting himself into the mix. Those are the films of his I look forward to the most, and I was mostly pleased with his newest work, No Sudden Move. It’s not quite fair to call Curt Goynes (Don Cheadle) a gangster. As far as thepecking order goes, he’s not parking cars for made guys, nor does he stand around nightclubs trying to look scary. He’s got a little bit of a reputation as someone competent, someone with a brain in his head, and someone without a dangerous amount of ambition. It being 1954 and Curt being a Black man, he also knows it’s harder for him to get what he wants. To do that, he needs a good chunk of money. Luckily, the “recruiter” Doug Jones (Brendan Fraser) needs three guys for a job. It’s supposed to be a simple job, only three hours of work.** The plan revolves around Matt Wertz (David Harbour), a meek family man with a couple of secrets. The first is that Matt is having an affair with his boss’ secretary. The second is that within a green safe in his boss’ office is something valuable. Valuable enough to kill for. Curt is partnered with two other men. Ronald Russo (Benicio del Toro) is also having an affair. It says a lot about both Ronald’s confidence and shortsightedness that he’s sleeping with Vanessa (Julia Fox), who’s married to short-tempered mob boss Frank Capelli (Ray Liotta). While Ronald is a racist and immediately has friction with Curt, he doesn’t seem to be an especially committed racist, so that’s progress, I guess? The third man is Charley (Kieran Culkin), who’s calm, cool, and collected — until he isn’t. The plan, such as it is, directs Curt, Ronald, and Charley to the home of Matt. They’ll invade the place and while Charley forces Matt to get the contents of the safe, Curt and Ronald will keep the family under control. Will they, though? It won’t be easy with Matt’s wife Mary (Amy Seimetz) and impulsive son Matthew (Noah Jupe) thrown into the mix. Things get even more complicated when one of the team ends up deceased, a quietly persistent cop (Jon Hamm) gets on their trail, and yet another crime boss (The mighty Bill Duke) decides to put his finger on the scales. Sometimes, directors will make a genre film, and you can almost feel them straining to rise above it. With No Sudden Move, it never feels that Soderbergh is better than the material. He’s making a crime movie, though one made with precision and efficiency. There’s zero fat on this film, and he knows just when to pump the brakes, hit the gas, or linger a moment on a character beat. While things get slightly too complex midway through, Soderbergh’s confident direction allows us to trust that he knows what he’s doing It helps that he’s working off of a smart and twisty script by veteran screenwriter Ed Solomon. At the micro-level, the screenplay does excellent work fleshing out the character. We might not get the details of exactly what Curt wants the money for, but we know it’s important to him, and we also know that he’s simultaneously trying to secure his future while taking responsibility for his past. At the macro level, Solomon has fascinating things to say about power and how people from all walks of life relate to it. In a late cameo from a massive movie star, there’s a line of dialogue which is, “I did not create the river. I am merely paddling the raft.” The meaning behind that line informs the motivations of all these characters in unique and natural ways. Having said that, the cameo involves a fairly long monologue that, while interesting, saps the momentum of the film for a few minutes The vast majority of actors would gladly compete in The Hunger Games for a chance to be in a Soderbergh movie. He gives his casts the freedom to perform without stifling them and often coaches out career-best work. Everyone here does excellent work, but there are a few people who deserve further examination. For the last couple of years, Benicio del Toro has seemed content to play weirdly dressed weirdos. As Ronald, he’s playing a guy who knows he’s playing a very dangerous game and desperately wants out. Yet there’s a tiny streak of nihilism in Ronald, and it’s as if a little voice is whispering to him, “What the hell, let’s see what happens.” Speaking of self-destructive moves, I think Matt might be one of the best pieces of acting that David Harbour has ever done. Matt is needy, pathetic, and all too aware of his fragilities. Harbour allows us to see the deep vulnerability of a man making the latest in a long line of lousy decisions and who seems powerless to stop himself. With this along with Black Widow, he’s having a hell of a year. And then there’s the underappreciated Don Cheadle. You can put him in anything, from a prestige drama like Hotel Rwanda to a gigantic blockbuster like Avengers: Endgame. He’s never slumming it, nor is he one of those actors who undergoes body transformation like Meryl Streep or Christian Bale. Cheadle works from the inside out. He likes to burrow into the psychology of his characters and use their behavior to inform how they move and speak. As Curt, Cheadle plays a man who’s just gotten out of a serious prison stretch. He knows there’s a window, a very narrow one, where he can change his life for the better. He also knows there’s a good chance he’ll either get thrown back into jail or an anonymous grave. Curt is just as desperate a character as Matt. He’s more controlled, and Cheadle shows flashes of fear before slamming the door. No Sudden Move is a familiar story told with style, efficiency, and perspective that comes from years of experience. This isn’t the kind of movie designed to crank up the adrenaline during summer, nor is it the kind of film built to win Oscars. It’s very much built to be the best version of itself, the kind of movie that feels well-refined and thought through. I can see myself returning to this film, over and over, and always with pleasure *To clarify, remember that even though the heroes in Ocean’s Eleven are criminals, it’s not a crime movie. The focus is on the job they’re pulling, making it a heist movie.
**My favorite cliche in crime movies is the “It’ll be easy” trope, where the simple job turns out to be a gigantic nightmare every single time.

Story performed well in the homerun contest but continues to struggle during his regular-season hitting a mere .246 with just 11 homeruns. The season-long slump has come at the worst time as Story’s trade value continues to decline amid rumors that the Rockies’ shortstop will be dealt by the July 30th trade deadline. Considering what the Rockies got in return for Nolan Arenado, the organization will probably trade Story for three minor league no-names, one beer vendor, and still end up writing a check to the other team to sweeten the deal.

The post The Whacky Weekly that Was first appeared on The Denver Guide. from https://ondenver.com/the-whacky-weekly-that-was/ The Daily Meal has released the 2019 list of the 101 best pizzas in America. With 30 states making the list, Colorado had only one contender, and Pizzeria Locale was it. Hitting the 60th spot overall, the joint was praised for “12 “Classics,” (eight red, four white), but you’re probably going to want to build your own from a selection of more than 25 toppings including eggplant, Calabrian chiles, corn, smoked mozzarella, pork meatballs and prosciutto.” Best pizzas are chosen based on “a nuanced sauce, neither too sweet nor too salty (assuming that the pie has sauce); quality, well-distributed cheese (assuming that it has cheese); quality, sensibly combined toppings; a flavorful, savory crust; and, perhaps most importantly, a judicious, well-balanced and pleasing ratio of sauce, cheese, toppings and crust that maintains a structural integrity no matter the style.” The site then chose chefs, restaurant critics, bloggers, etc. from across the nation to choose only from places that they have actually eaten. New York alone pulled in 28 of the best pizzas, with Illinois and California following close behind. Pizzeria Locale also has two locations in Denver if you do not live in the Boulder area. The post Pizzeria Locale in Boulder named One of the Best Pizzas in America first appeared on The Denver Guide.from https://ondenver.com/pizzeria-locale-in-boulder-named-one-of-the-best-pizzas-in-america/ Television shows sometimes make buying and fixing up a home look like the best option for everyone. That’s certainly not the case. However, there are some times and circumstances when purchasing a home that needs some work is a great idea. When you can get an awesome deal Obviously, the best time to buy a house that needs work is when you can get an awesome deal. If your area is experiencing a buyer’s market with plenty of houses available at reasonable prices, then you may be able to snag a fixer-upper at a great price. According to Zillow, on average across the United States, fixer-uppers list for about 8% less than market value. However, in some cities, such as Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, that number is over 20%. Therefore, you must do your research to determine if the deal is good enough to leave you with a reasonable renovation budget. When you have a lot of skills Do you know how to demo a room? Run electricity? Do drywall? The more renovation skills you have, the less money you’ll have to pay out to contractors to do the work for you. Even if you (or your spouse, a friend, or relative) is doing much of the labor, you’ll still need to make sure the work is up to code and get the proper permits. So, be sure to familiarize yourself on all of those types of legalities. When most of the necessary changes are cosmetic If you see a fixer-upper at a rock-bottom price that only needs cosmetic work, then go ahead and put in an offer. Though it might not look pretty, with some elbow grease, paint, and new fixtures, you can turn a house from drab to fab. Cosmetic changes are not only easy, they are also cheap. Therefore, you can keep your costs low and consider flipping the house for a substantial profit. When it just needs some extra space If you find an amazing home that just needs a little extra space, you can always add a detached garage. Adding an external structure can help you keep the clutter in your house to a minimum and also provide protection for your vehicles, lawn mower, snow blower, and the like. When adding a garage, steel is an ideal material because it is durable and, depending on the span, may not require interior poles to hold up the garage. A detached garage is also more cost effective than renting out a storage unit for your items. When the house is in a great location What’s the one thing you can’t change about any house? The location! When you are buying a house, whether it needs a lot of work or it’s new construction, don’t compromise on the location. You can change anything and everything about a house, but (most of the time) you can’t pick it up and move it somewhere else. When shopping for a fixer-upper, look for a home with a solid foundation and a bit of charm in a great location. The definition of a great location is up to you. You might desire to live in a certain school district, within a certain radius of your job, on the waterfront, or in the middle of the city. Set your priorities when it comes to location and don’t compromise, or else you’ll end up moving again in a few years’ time. In some circumstances, buying a fixer-upper makes a whole lot of sense. Fixing up a house that needs work can be challenging but also rewarding. Depending on your finances, your skills, and your preferences, right now might be the perfect time to buy a fixer-upper.

Per their website, “With the “Best Happy Hour in Jefferson County”, Ace Hi is a go-to for Colorado School of Mines students and other locals looking for great value and a great time.” Thursday nights are the best band for your buck as its ladies night and karaoke night with $1 tap and well drinks. The post Top 3 Bars in Golden first appeared on The Denver Guide.from https://ondenver.com/top-3-bars-in-golden/ I feel like it goes without saying that Denver has one of the most rapidly expanding art scenes in the country. We live in an artistic oasis, smack dab in between Chicago and Santa Fe, with entire districts dedicated to galleries. I recently had the pleasure of talking to one of Denver’s many prolific artists, Abram Aleo, about his work and some of the trends blossoming out of alleyways and gallery windows all over the city. Aleo is a self-taught visual artist, with a broad skill set and seemingly infinite creativity. He specializes in acrylic paintings and large-scale murals. These two disciplines have developed a symbiotic relationship for him. Paintings done in the studio are planned and perfected in a controlled environment with no audience or time constraints. Murals, on the other hand, can be unpredictable. The space is typically public and exposed to the elements. Corrections are time consuming and expensive. Going from a studio setting to painting a mural is like going from a climbing gym to an actual rock face. That being said, he prefers to approach them intuitively. Whenever possible, he likes to freehand his murals, using little more than some spray cans and rough sketches. We spoke at length about the evolution of art and the progression of tools, mediums, and ideas. He said that artists have always used the latest technology available to expand their creative abilities. Whether it’s the invention of a new kind of paintbrush or digital editing techniques, they’re just steps in the evolutionary process. Aleo often uses Photoshop to help design his large-scale works. He still paints them by hand, however, using acrylic paint to capture the look and feel of digital images with traditional methodology. His style bridges the gap between digital and analog. Aleo has always been interested in anime and discovered a love of drawing at a young age. He later progressed to painting and gravitated towards street art. He was drawn to artists like Banksy and Shepard Fairey, who were not only talented, but also had a message and used their art as a platform to broadcast their ideas. He was also intrigued by the inherently larger, more diverse audience involved in street art. Paintings in a gallery are confined in a building and separated from the general public. You have to actually put in effort to see them. Murals on the sides of buildings are for the general, often unsuspecting public. They offer a moment of beauty in a monotonous commute; a splash of color in an otherwise drab cityscape. It’s always interesting to hear about an artist’s influences and inspirations. It sheds some light on the creative process behind the work. Aleo draws influence from people like James Jean, Erik Jones, the muralist Curiot, street artist and illustrator Smithe One, and Denver painter Jake Amason. He says the progression of an artist’s career is different than an athlete’s. They don’t necessarily peak in their youth—their style continuously develops. Some of his favorite artists are in their 40s and still coming out with new ideas. If you want to see Aleo’s work for yourself, he has quite a few events coming up. This weekend he’ll be up in Fort Collins working with the Fort Collins Mural Project. He’s part of a group show at Mirus, premiering August 6th. That show is called Psychonaut and is curated by Paul Hemming. He’ll be doing some live painting sessions at Arise Music Festival on August 2nd. Beginning on August 17th, his work is showing at the Threyda Gallery on Santa Fe, and in September he’s collaborating on a mural with Chicago artist Natalie Shugailo. You can see much more of his work at www.aleoart.com. The post Street Artist Abram Aleo first appeared on The Denver Guide.from https://ondenver.com/street-artist-abram-aleo/ 1. Durango Believe it or not, you can drive 7 hours and still be in Colorado. And believe me, it’s worth it if you’re heading to Durango. Summertime is a great time to head to the small mining town as there’s a plethora of outdoor activities including off-roading, climbing, bikingm watersports, and horseback riding. If the Old West is your thing, there’s a historic downtown area, several museums, and the backdrop to Wild West movies such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. 2. Crested Butte Crested Butte is known for its downhill ski and mountain bike trails on the slopes of the Crested Butte Mountain Resort. If you want a sneak peek of what Crested Butte looks like before heading over there, check out the Cantina Cam, a camera outside of Donita’s Cantina-”Made from Scratch”-Mexican Food! (and check out Donita’s Cantina while you’re there!) Crested Butte constantly has events going on, so any weekend is a great time to visit. You can check out their calendar here. 3. Creede The historic city of Creede is easy to miss but packed with things to do. If you’re looking for a quiet weekend getaway from Denver, explore their many art galleries or underground mining museum. If you’re looking for something busier, there’s the Creede Repertory Theater, which is “one of the top 10 places to see the lights way off Broadway” (USA Today). Take a look at their visitors guide for more information. 4. Pagosa Springs Pagosa Springs is well known for its amazing hot springs. The springs are scattered throughout, including in the resort and spa if you’re looking for somewhere to relax. It’s also nestled right in the middle of other such as the San Juan river which runs through town and is stocked with trout, the Wolf Ski Area to the northeast with downhill runs and cross country trails, and the Chimney Rock National Monument which has ancient Puebloan ruins. 5. Ouray Nicknamed the “Switzerland of America,” Ouray is a quaint mountain town with ice climbing at Ouray Ice Park during the winter. Ouray Ice Park attracts thrill seekers from around the globe with “more than 200 named ice and mixed climbs, most within a 15-minute walk of the Park entrance.” If you’re looking for a year-round activity, Ouray boasts scenic hikes at Box Canyon Falls Park with a waterfall, trails, and picnic spots.
