  • This Is a Test
    ‘LOVE’S CHRISTMAS JOURNEY’ CAST BIOS SEAN ASTIN (Mayor William Wayne) – Sean Astin is one of Hollywood's most respected young actors with a distinctive list of projects and credits. Astin starred as beloved Sam Gamgee in the Academy Award®-winning "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy." The three films have grossed over $3 billion worldwide and have entered the history books of classic cinema. Astin has just recently signed up for Nickelodeon‟s re-launch of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” He will lend his voice to Raphael in the latest animated incarnation of the hugely successful franchise which premieres in fall 2012. Currently, he is lending his voice to Playhouse Disney‟s “Special Agent Oso.” Astin stars as a lovable, bumbling special agent-in-training who enlists viewers at home to help complete his missions. Premiering fall 2011, Astin heads an all star cast in “And They‟re Off,” an independent comedy about thoroughbred horseracing that also stars Kevin Nealon, Cheri Oteri and Martin Mull. Astin also has two other comedies in the can: “Stay Cool” about an older man‟s homecoming whose cast includes Winona Ryder, Chevy Chase, Hillary Duff and more, and “Demoted” in which Astin plays a mean-spirited prank whose victim becomes his boss. Adding to his seemingly boundless list of occupations, Astin released his acting memoir titled There and Back Again: An Actor's Tale. The book opened at #1 on the New York Times Best- seller list, putting him on the map as a true literary story-teller as well as the unabashed screen actor audiences fall in love with again and again.

  • Preserving Food
    PRESERVING FOOD FREEZING or CANNING Traditional Techniques Using Salt, Oil, Sugar, Alcohol, Vinegar, Drying, Cold Storage, and Lactic Fermentation THE GARDENERS & FARMERS OF TERRE with a new foreword by VIVANTE Deborah Madison Food / Gardening / Preservation $ 25 00 USD For the Kitchen Poet Who Rhymes "Nutritious77 with "Delicious77 YPICAL BOOKS ABOUT PRESERVING garden produce nearly always assume that modern "kitchen gardeners" will boil or freeze Ttheir vegetables and fruits. Yet here is a book that goes back to the future—celebrating traditional but little-known French techniques for storing and preserving edibles in ways that maximize flavor and nutrition. Translated into English, and with a new foreword by Deborah Madison, this book deliberately ignores freezing and high-temperature canning in favor of methods that are superior because they are less costly and more energy-efficient. As Eliot Coleman says in his foreword to the first edition, "Food preservation techniques can be divided into two categories: the modern scientific methods that remove the life from food, and the natural 'poetic' methods that maintain or enhance the life in food. The poetic tech- niques produce ... foods that have been celebrated for centuries and are considered gourmet delights today." Preserving Food Without Freezing or Canning offers more than 250 easy and enjoyable recipes featuring locally grown and minimally refined ingredients. It is an essential guide for those who seek healthy food for a healthy world. CENTRE TERRE VIVANTE is an ecological research and education center located in Mens, Domaine de Raud, a region of southeastern France. Terre Vivante hosts courses on regenerative gardening and farm- ing, renewable energy, and ecological building techniques.

Most educational programs for health care professionals allocate little time to teaching practitioners how to treat the cause of disease and instead just focus on symptom suppression. A growing dissatisfaction with traditional medical and nutrition practice has created a demand for different educational pathways that incorporate such training. The Wellness Forum Institute is grounded in the use of only the most rigorous and independent scientific standards for evaluating nutrition and health information.

  • Wind Bell in Several Years
    PUBLICATION OF ZEN CENTER VOLUME XVII, NUMBER I - SUMMER 1983 Cover: The statue of Jizo (Earth Treasury Bodhisallva) at the Green Gulch zendo The hand mudra of the Gandharan Buddha after restoration Editor's Note: This is our first Wind Bell in several years. In the past we have apologized for the long delay between issues and have promised to do better, but we have not been able to keep our promise. So rather than promise again, we would only like to thank you for your patience, and also mention that this issue has been gestating for almost two years, so some of the material is not of the present moment. We are sorry, and we will keep trying. Also, many of you may have heard that in April Baker-roshi began a one-year leave of absence as Abbot of Zen Center. Since then here have been many changes and devel­ opments in Zen Center which we would like to tell you about. However, in order not to delay printing the Wind Bell any further, we are sending it out as it is. In the near future we will describe more fully our situation. 2 SANDOKAI LECTURE VI by Suzuki-roshi This lecture explains the following lines of the Sandokai: Shidai no sho onozukarafukusu Kono sono haha o uru ga gotoshi Hiwa Nesshi kaze wa doyo Mizu wa uruoi chi wa kengo.
