Marijuana: Nederland's pot ordinance would ban making BHO in residential areas

By Michael Roberts Tue., May 14 2013 at 4:20 PM

Categories: Fashion & Design, Marijuana

Last week, William Breathes updated us on the efforts by residents of Nederland to come up with their own marijuana ordinance, rather than waiting for the state to do so for them.

The final version of the ordinance is currently circulating, and among the interesting elements of the text are a residential ban against the manufacture of Butane Honey Oil, or BHO, a popular marijuana extract that critics say can be dangerous to use and manufacture.

Pink Hoodie Robber breaks the law...of bandit chic

Big photos below.

Last Friday, a presumably unarmed man entered the US Bank on 1801 Jackson Street in Golden, and angrily demanded an undisclosed sum of money from a teller, escaping on foot.

More disturbing than this man's crimes, however, is his complete misunderstanding of bandit chic.

Romney backers accidentally voting for Obama?: GOP cites more reports of machine errors

By Sam Levin Mon., Nov. 5 2012 at 2:31 PM

Categories: Fashion & Design, News, Politics

Big photos below.

In a race that remains very much a toss-up mere hours before election day, both sides can agree that a very small margin of voters will decide whether Colorado goes red or blue tomorrow. It is for that reason that some Republican Party officials in the state say they're particularly worried about reports that voters trying to cast ballots for Mitt Romney are seeing Barack Obama show up on the screen.

Emerson apartment complex inches toward approval despite complaints

A lengthy administrative battle over a 42-unit apartment complex, to be built on the corner of a historic block of grand single-family homes on the south end of Capitol Hill, appears to be just about over. But opponents of the 777 Emerson Lofts say the review of the ever-evolving project by the Denver Landmark Preservation Commission failed to address several significant changes to the design before the LPC gave its approval to the proposal last week.

Call it a high honor.

In recent months, a painstakingly crafted kids' treehouse along the Roaring Fork River has become a local landmark of sorts for commuters making the Glenwood Springs-to-Aspen schlep. Now the 230-square-foot structure has found fame beyond the Western Slope, featured among other big little housing ideas in Lloyd Kahn's new book, Tiny Homes, Simple Shelter: Scaling Back in the 21st Century.

Denver Public Schools back to cool supplies Kenny Be Blog Head.jpg

The winner

A New York team has won a unique international competition to design a special bridge for wildlife crossing I-70 west of Vail Pass, the first structure of its kind ever proposed for the United States. The winners, HNTB with Michael Van Valkenburgh and Associates, will take home a prize of $40,000. Whether the bridge will ever get built is another question.

Crocs blocked: How one wrong word cost the company $230,000

Toxic green, but no pesticide.

Crocs, the Niwot-based maker of brightly hued, comfy-ugly clown shoes, has had more than its share of PR disasters, from the hysterical reports of Crocs-shod kids getting toes nipped in escalators to the savage reviews from fashionistas to a wacky endorsement from Donald Trump.

But all of that's nothing, compared to getting your tootsies trampled by the Environmental Protection Agency.
