Recently, I was invited to go into Redland country in South Dade Florida. I attended Farm Day sponsored by Redland Organics, an annual open house event for the farm. Everyone was encouraged to bring a dish to share in the potluck. Additionally, there were hay rides, veggies, honey, fresh herbs galore and an opportunity to go into a modern 'out-house.' Yes, you read it right. As a city mouse, an out house is simply not part of my vocabulary but after drinking two cups of lemongrass tea, which by-the-way was very refreshing, I had no choice but to tinkle the tea out of my system. Let's say it was an experience far from what my imagination led me to believe. Thank goodness for modern toilets! This type of festivity only provides knowledge and awareness of our local environment and produce. I strongly encourage everyone to keep this festival in mind for next year as it is a family oriented atmosphere filled with great people, delicious organic foods, beverages and music. This year, Jennings and Keller, of Homestead cheered Farm Day with beautiful and environmentally conscious tunes, a la fusion folk Americana style. Bee Heaven also collected $10.00 donations at the gate, which helps them sponsor artists in residence. These young artists who live in the farm for four days during the Art Loves Farm program, learn about farm life and apply it to their art.

A ballpark's personality is defined as much by its street music as its architecture, signature hot dog, or the team that plays on the field. At Busch Stadium, our basecrawlers meet four competing musicians with one thing in common their instrument of choice is a saxophone. But this is really no coincidence. People here have a passion for rhythm and blues that rivals their love for the St. Louis Cardinals.

On the eve of his high school graduation, Will Kidman (Liboiron) finally looks up from his books to catch the eye of the girl he's longed for the last four years - the mysterious Eliana Wynter (Shaw). He's always been the shy kid, flying under the radar, but when he discovers a dark secret from his past - that he is heir to a powerful line of werewolves - he finds he has a choice to make between succumbing to his primal nature, or turning against his own, and maintaining his humanity. In order to fight the destiny of his legacy, and save Eliana - as well as himself - he must battle not only his growing blood lust but an army of fearsome beasts bent on killing him, Eliana...and then, us all.
