Localite producing her own feature film

That was just the beginning for the 2003 graduate of New York University's film school. Last month Stanton was offered a $100,000 grant to produce her feature film "Rosalind's Helix," based on the life of an English scientist who worked on DNA and the double helix during the 1950s.

Sutras for some enchanted evening

Or, at least, the sutra chanting business: More than 30 ministers' chants were recorded at a general assembly for the "Accessing the Sutras" CD distributed free to members last fall. "It was created for shut-ins and people not able to get to temple," explained temple official Mary Tanouye.

But if a good "om" is just what the stress-relief therapist ordered, you don't have to be Buddhist to order one, available for $5.

They're also releasing the "Gift of Peace" CD of endearing songs (think hymn, Buddhist-style) by the temple's choir.
