Pinheadmay2011 The Science of Cocktails an elixir of science and fun

Wednesday, June 22, 7:30 (VIP), 8:30 – 11:30 p.m., the Pinhead Institute hosts is only major public fundraiser: "The Science of Cocktails." The event takes place in the Crystal Room (and Deck) at The Peaks Resort & Spa in Mountain Village. The evening includes drink, gourmet desserts, and dancing to DJ Will of SoulAtomic.

Think of "The Science of Cocktails" as a remix of the witches' scene in "MacBeth."

Pinhead's evening bills itself as "an in-depth look, interactive look at the physics, chemistry and biology of cocktails and spirits." Mixers include six restaurants and one Ridgway distillery – Cosmopolitan, Honga's, M's Restaurant at Hotel Madeline Telluride, La Marmotte, The Steaming Bean, Siam, and Trail Town Still – competing to concoct the  "Perfect Pinhead Potion."

Health news you can use every other Monday

For 33 years, the Telluride Medical Center has provided health care services to Telluride and the 7,500 residents scattered throughout the R 1 School District. The Med Center is also the only 24-hour emergency facility within 65 miles. As a mountain town in a challenging, remote environment, a thriving medical center is vital to our community’s health. A brand new series on Telluride Inside... and Out features news you can use from the doctors at the Telluride Medical Center. Every other Monday, the column, To Your Health, will focus on news you can use to live a healthier life.

Remember the apple? No, not the one from the Garden that got us all in trouble. The one you take daily to keep the doctor away? Preventative medicine has come a long way since the original prototype. Now the challenge is making sense of the proliferation of received wisdom to make the right choices even about something as basic as which tests are essential. What should be routine in a "routine" check-up?

The first Mountain Village Farmers and Artists Market will take place Wednesday, June 15, 2011, from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. in Heritage Plaza.

Judyth 1 Poet and author Judyth Hill is scheduled to be a guest instructor at Telluride's Ah Haa School for the Arts. Her workshop take place Friday – Sunday, July 29 – July 31, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. The subject is WildWriting.

WildWriting is an innovative process that encourages us to coax our minds into a Zen-like state of deep listening and at the same time remain open to the sensuous stuff we know, see, feel, hear, remember, forget, taste, and ponder. Weaving together what we understand with what we experience generates WildWriting.

Beginning to seasoned writers are encouraged to attend and develop a supple, supportive community. Judyth also provides a wealth of hand-outs with this class, lively, inspiring offerings of the Dharma Lineage of great poetry: Rilke, Rumi, Mirabai, Neruda, Dylan Thomas as well as reading lists of fabulous anthologies, and resources for making, performing, and publishing your own poems.
