The facility was nice, the check in staff was very informative
The check out staff didn't seem to care to talk. I felt under appreciated
I stay in hotels all the time sometimes with kids and sometimes without, this hotel is all about big volume. They don't accommodate families.
Throughout the staff in the hotel there was no customer support, we felt like all they cared about is big tourist groups
I know this might sound wired but the shower, hotel showers are usually bad but this one was great! Lots of pressure and never ran out of hot water.
The king bed was very lumpy and uncomfortable.
The service, food and staff were amazing
Can't think of anything
Free parking, pool and decent staff.
Old, dingy room. Bathroom smelled like someone just finished smoking in it. Bed sheets didn't smell fresh.
Room was big. In room fridge was a good size. Pool was nice. Rooms were decently clean.
Lobby was run down, staff cursing to each other in front of guests, building a little run down, outside walkways & parking lot not well lit, pillows were terrible, blankets were thin and old, room not cleaned till 4:30 pm, tub faucet and shower broken, room had a peculiar smell to it.
The staff was awesome! We have stayed at a lot of hotels and have never been treated as well as at our stay here
Spacious accommodations. Couch, kitchen area, desktop. Great location. Access to a professional gym within walking distance (0.7 mile).
While room was clean, maintenance work was shoddy: a/c filter was clogged and closet sliders improperly installed. Both corrected after filing complaint. Toilet bowl is made for midgets. A/C vent blew too hard on bed; I closed with a screwdriver.
Helpful front desk Agents. Courtesy van was great
Breakfast menu
Excellent front desk service
Liked the location
No noise insulation between room and hall way
The staff was great. Everything was very clean. And it was very quiet.
Not a big deal but the wifi wasn't strong enough. Kept losing my connection.
pools, ambience, location, cleanliness, upkeep
no longer has water taxi service to pier..this is a BIG deal
drink prices somewhat high
Location to everything and great food
A unique experience not on a beach but on the waterfront. The food and drink were way over price but quality. The pool area and feel with the outdoor canal side bar was a 10! Location was a 10! Allowing dogs in building, on furniture and handled by food and beverage staff guy is unhealthy and unprofessional!
The front desk set up was very very odd more like an airline counter. The food and drinks were way top expensive. Allowing dogs in the lobby, on furniture and handled by the bar guy at the pool was a major turnoff. The bartender did not wash his hands after picking up a dog a lady handed him. It was gross!
Over priced for what you get!!!
Room and view was wonderful! Staff was helpful, and the pool was relaxing. Loved the love music at the pool.
Breakfast at the hotel resturant cost us a pretty penny.
Friendly staff,clean,close to beach.
Nothing negative

Does the time capsule have a built in airport extreme? I don't need one of each?
- Asked by Don T from Stevenson Ranch
QA Apple Time Capsule
Product No Longer Available
3 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
"Does the time capsule have a built in airport extreme?"
If you mean WI-FI router, than yes.
"I don't need one of each?"
If you mean Time Capsule and Airport Extreme together? No.
The Time Capsule comes with all the great features. It's gonna be your backup drive and your wireless router in one. Plus you have the option to attach additional external hard-drive(s) and/or printer to it via the USB port included on the back. Trust me, you gonna love it.
- Answered by Szilard S from Destin
The time capsule is a hard drive that backs up one or multiple hard disks in your network, and a airport extreme in one device! Cool huh? So no, you don't need both. It gets warm/hot because of that combination; by the way:) So keep it well ventilated if you decide on one. I prop mine up on a shelf system that lets air throu the underbelly. It is configured to make back ups of your OS, file by file or of multiple whole drives, just in case your have an Imac with a SSD and a HD 1-2 Terebyte. It will back up both if you don't exclude the later, as it is mainly to target a full recreation of your Mac OS in the unfortunate event you loose a file or have a HD failure. Hope this helps. Regards, KC
- Answered by Casey S from Harrisburg
If I understand what you are asking the answer is YES. It does include the features of an Airport Extreme (e.g., wireless routing, dual band wi-fi:so you can connect your Mac at N speed and still connect a Nintendo DSi at a lower speed, or with a different security setting, and ability to add an external hard drive OR a printer to share).
I have the previous version TC and have used it without any problems for a couple years now. I wish I had the dual band support offered by the current Time Capsule (a really nice feature).
You should get great service out of this device and enjoy it for a good long while. I am sure you will be happy with it!

Let's Explore The World!
Two years ago, I started a company on a lark and am now happy to say that it is doing well and keeps me pretty busy. I like what I do but it isn't my passion – traveling is. At least twice a year I try to go somewhere completely different. I believe traveling is good for the soul – I love making friends with locals, taking the path less traveled and usually try to spend at least 20 days exploring. When I'm at home, I enjoy cooking amazing meals and I throw an elaborate Christmas Party every year. I'm lucky to have great friends who enjoy talking about politics and philosophy as much as I do. My friends would call me bold, funny, interested and kind. No one who knows me (friends, family, clients) would ever call me shy – but I am very much so when I meet a woman I am drawn to. That's why I'm hoping that chatting with people here and getting a little comfortable before meeting will help me find the woman I will spend the rest of my life with. I'm looking for someone who is confident but still full of loving kindness. My match should be intelligent and laugh easily. A sense of adventure and the willingness/ability to go on long trips is also important – I'm very much looking forward to exploring the world with the woman I love. If that sounds like you, I hope you take a chance and let me know. It could be the beginning of something amazing!

NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE), through its subsidiaries, engages in the generation, transmission, distribution, and sale of electric energy in the United States and Canada. The company is a member of the dividend achievers index, and has boosted distributions for 18 years in a row.
The company's last dividend increase was in February 2012 when the Board of Directors approved a 9.10% increase to 60 cents/share. The company's peer group includes Entergy (ETR), Northeast Utilities (NU) and PPL Corp (PPL).
Over the past decade this dividend growth stock has delivered an annualized total return of 14.10% to its shareholders.
The company has managed to deliver an 8% average increase in annual EPS since 2003. Analysts expect NextEra Energy to earn $4.54 per share in 2012 and $4.95 per share in 2013. In comparison, the company earned $4.59/share in 2011. The company has been able to generate a high growth on earnings, which is something very rare for a utility.
Long-term growth will be driven by increases in its rate base due to investment in new assets. Continued increase in customers should further aid profitability amid expansion in the Florida economy. Growth will also be aided by the company's unregulated electric wholesaler Nexterra Energy, which keeps increasing capacity through building green energy projects in Wind and Solar.
The return on equity has increased from 10.70% in 2002 to 13.10% in 2011. Rather than focus on absolute values for this indicator, I generally want to see at least a stable return on equity over time.
The annual dividend payment has increased by 7% per year over the past decade, which is lower than the growth in EPS.
A 7% growth in distributions translates into the dividend payment doubling almost every decade years. The company's current annual distribution is double what it was nine years ago.
The dividend payout ratio has been decreasing over the past decade, falling from almost 58% in 2002 to 48% in 2011. NextEra Energy has the lowest dividend payout ratios for a utility company. A lower payout is always a plus, since it leaves room for consistent dividend growth minimizing the impact of short-term fluctuations in earnings.
Currently NextEra Energy is attractively valued, trading at 13.10 times earnings and yielding 3.60%. I like the above average dividend growth potential as well as the low dividend payout ratio. I would consider adding to my position in the stock subject to availability of funds.

Not going to last. Abril will quit after taking a beating for a few rounds. He called Rios out, now he looks scared in all the press photos. I can see Rios taunting him, already.

I've read a blog post called Blogging with Noir, and I was honestly surprised that the author uses java.jdbc instead of libraries like Korma which I found surprising. What are the advantages of writing SQL queries in your code instead of letting tools do it for you?

I guess it is for the usual reasons that you might choose to use an API directly in Clojure rather than use a wrapper:
Ultimately it's a trade-off - the above are reasons that you might want to use the underlying API, but there are equally good reasons that you may choose to use the wrapper:
Korma IMO isn't nearly ready to be used as a full replacement for SQL. It's definitely handy, but right now a lot of my queries have (raw "...") snippets in them, and for more complicated stuff all the main querying is done inside SQL views which are then selected on via korma.
The main alternative, ClojureQL, doesn't even work with Clojure 1.3+
In short, it's hard to abstract SQL, and Korma - even though it tries to be minimal, meaning you still have to understand SQL pretty well to use it - isn't finished.
I can think about two reasons:

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's protest ended Tuesday evening after an uneasy compromise with Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung. He agreed to the L-G's decision to send on leave two of the four police officers against whom the AAP government had sought action, acceding to the appeal to call off the confrontation in view of the Republic Day celebrations.
The two police officers asked to go on leave are Malviya Nagar SHO Inspector Vijay Pal and Paharganj PCR in-charge Ramji Lal.
Kejriwal said it was a victory for the people. "Our party will continue to rake up issues of women's safety whenever they are threatened. We had said the security of women is of utmost importance to us," he said.
He also read out Jung's letter while addressing supporters. According to the CM, this was the first time a chief minister and his entire cabinet had to take to the streets.
"Why was this needed? Because the previous government used to say police was not under them whenever such incidents happened. This Delhi government is not the 'helpless' one like the previous regime. The struggle for the protection of women will continue," he said. Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi said he was satisfied with the outcome.
"The Lt -Governor made an appeal to the CM to call off the protest. Two of our officers will be on leave pending inquiry," Bassi said. Asked if he still believed there was no wrongdoing on the part of the officers, he said the judicial inquiry would determine their alleged role in the cases.
Kejriwal's protest began Monday morning outside Rail Bhawan after his MLAs and he were stopped from proceeding to the North Block office of Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde.
According to Kejriwal, the Malviya Nagar SHO had refused to raid an alleged den of vice on orders from Law Minister Somnath Bharti and the PCR van in-charge of Paharganj had failed to prevent the gangrape of a Danish woman last week. Kejriwal had also demanded the suspension of the Sagarpur ACP and SHO for not investigating a dowry harassment case and the ACP in charge of Malviya Nagar. The protest had also morphed into a demand for total control over Delhi Police and even statehood.
Earlier in the day, Kejriwal had threatened to flood Rajpath in a bid to interrupt the Republic Day parade on Sunday. While Kejriwal insisted his politics was not anarchic, AAP supporters clashed with police near the venue of his protest.
The supporters, who had not been allowed entry to the protest site near Rail Bhawan, had stationed themselves near police barricades, while continuing a tirade of anti-police sloganeering.
By late afternoon, the crowd outside the barricades — on Rafi Marg and Dr Rajendra Prasad Road — had swelled to hundreds.

An adapter antenna (2) is used for contactless connection of a mobile telephone (1) to an external antenna (4) in case the telephone lacks a connector for coaxial cable (3) for such a purpose. The most common application is when a mobile telephone is to be used in a vehicle. Transfer of radio waves occurs in the near field of the built-in antenna (6) of the telephone by capacitive coupling. One preferred embodiment especially suited for plane inverted antennae of type L, E or F is described. An optimizing method for two frequency bands is described.
1. An adapter for contact-less transfer of electromagnetic waves between a first antenna built into a mobile telephone and a port of the adapter antenna where a coaxial cable can be connected, the adapter antenna comprising a condenser plate, a conductor connecting the condenser plate with the port and adaptive components including ground plane elements, said first antenna transferring without contact the electromagnetic wave to the adapter and said adapter antenna transferring the electromagnetic wave without contact back to said first antenna by utilizing an electric component of a near field of the first antenna and by shaping the condenser plate surface to correspond as far as possible to those regions of a surface of the first antenna carrying large surface currents, and by having optimal shape and size of the components of the adapting circuit to minimize influence on the matching of the first antenna to telephone electronics.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention concerns an adapter antenna which without contact can receive and transfer an electromagnetic wave within the near field of another antenna. The most common application of an adapter antenna is for connection of a mobile telephone which temporarily is used within a vehicle to an external antenna located on the outside of the vehicle.
2. State of the Art
All mobile telephones are provided with a built-on first antenna, but not all models are provided with a coaxial outlet for connection to an external second antenna. If one wishes to use an external antenna with a mobile telephone lacking such an antenna outlet, an adapter antenna can be located near the first antenna and connected by a coaxial cable (33) to the second antenna.
In the following will be described what is peculiar for an adapter antenna compared to other antennae in general. Antennae are usually located in the far field of a first antenna, where the wave front is approximatively flat with the electric and magnetic field vectors at right angles to each other. In this case, the antennae do not influence the current distribution of each other, and they may be designed independently of each other. An adapter antenna is located close to a first antenna in the near field of this. The electric and magnetic field vectors are here generally not at right angles to each other. The current distributions of the first antenna and the adapter antenna will influence each other. In an ideal case the transfer between the first antenna and the adapter antenna should be total, and all power from the first antenna should be collected by the adapter antenna, which in practise can never be acheived. In case of use in a vehicle, the non-transferred power will radiate into the vehicle. This is a great disadvantage, the radiation has not fully recognized biological effects which were the reason for deciding to use an external antenna. These decribed conditions, which are specific for adapter antenna compared to other types of antennae, mean that adapter antennae should be individually optimized for each type of first antenna. The optimizing may be more difficult if the telephone is of multiple N-band type, where N is larger than 1.
The most common type of antenna for mobile telephones is monopole or small helix. Adapter antella for such are known from patents U.S. Pat. No. 4,220,955, GB 2266967, SE 500983, SE 503930, U.S. Pat. No. 5,557,287, U.S. Pat. No. 5,777,585, SE 504343, and WO 98/25323. These all use a coil as a coupling element. Adapter antennae suitable also for other types of telephone antennae can be shaped as meander convolutions as described in patents SE 506726 and SE 507100.
The known types of adapter antennae are not optimal for certain types of first antennae, such as inverted L, E and F(PIFA) antennae. Coils are less suitable for adapter antennae to these. One aim of the invention is to acheive an optimal solution by utilizing the electric field component, implying acting as a condenser together with a suitable adaptive circuit. The invention can be used for single as well as multiple frequency band adapter antennae.
The optimizing is made in the following steps:
Determine the smallest condenser plate which can efficiently transfer the power. This is made by calculating or measuring the current distribution of the first antenna and determining the surface or surfaces where the current density is large, and designing the condenser plate of the adapter antenna to have a corresponding surface.
Choose feed point and means for matching the impedance of the coaxial cable, such as 50 ohm. At the other end of the coaxial cable the second antenna or a amplifier unit may be connected.
Provide a suitable ground plane, such as a loop around the condenser plate.
Optimize the adapter antenna while accounting for its influence upon the adaptation of the first antenna in its feed point.
FIG. 1 Mobile telephone with a built-in antenna, and an adapter antenna with a cable to an external antenna.
FIG. 2 PIFA-antenna for two frequency bands.
FIG. 3 Current distribution on a PIFA antenna at 900 MHz.
FIG. 4 Current distribution on a PIFA antenna at 1800 MHz.
FIG. 5 Pattern on the first side of the circuit board.
FIG. 6 Pattern on the second side of the circuit board.
In the following the invention will be described in the context of an adapter antenna of a preferred type for use with a mobile telephone (1) with a built-in PIFA antenna (6) as seen in FIG. 2. The components of the adapter antenna (2) are located on a circuit board (19,20) with circuit patterns of conductive metal on both sides. Alternative embodiments, not shown in a figure, may be circuit boards with conductive pattern on one side only, or metal foil conductors, or plastic boards with conductive surface patterns applied by metallizing, metal spraying, conductive paint or foil. The adaptive circuit at the port (32) is also located on the circuit board in the version shown by FIGS. 5 and 6. Other designs of adaptive circuits with discrete or continuous components are commonly known and will not be discussed here.
FIG. 2 shows the PIFA antenna (6) of the mobile telephone (1), comprising a radiator (7) from sheet metal and a ground surface (11). In the radiator (7) is a cut-out slot (8). The radiator (7) is connected to the mobile telephone electronics at the feed point (9) and forms a stub with a ground connection (10). The current distribution while transmitting in the 900 MHz band is shown in FIG. 3 and in the 1800 MHz band in FIG. 4. As was explained in the description of the method of the invention it is desired to have as small a condenser plate as possible in the adapter antenna, though large enough to cover the most active regions of the PIFA antenna. In the 1800 MHz band these are close to the feed point (9) and the stub (10). The same holds for the 900 MHz band but then there is also a region at the corner (12) of the slot (8). It is, however, best to avoid using the field in the vicinity of the corner (12) since that would need a condenser plate too large for 1800 Mhz.
This results in a design of the condenser plate (21) as shown in FIG. 5. The condenser plate (21) is located on the first side (19) of the circuit board, which is closest to the mobile telephone (1) when this is placed near the adapter antenna (2). The condenser plate (21) has two horns (22 and 23) of conductive material, covering the high current density regions close to the feed point (9) and the stub (10) of the PIFA antenna (6). In another embodiment not shown here, separate but electrically connected plates are located over the high current regions. The conductor (24) is located above the slot (8) so as not to be noticably influenced by the currents in the antenna (6).
On the first side (19) of the circuit board the ground plane of the adapter antenna is located, comprising a ground plane island (28) and a ground plane loop (29).
On the other side (21) of the circuit board, shown in FIG. 6, is a transfer (25) consisting of a coplanar waveguide (26) comprising a solder island (27) and ground plane islands (30 and 31), as well as a condenser towards ground, comprising a solder island (27) and a ground plane island (28). This condenser will compensate the inductance of the conductor (24). The transfer (25) provides adapting to a 50 ohm coaxial cable. The other end (3) of the coaxial cable may be connected to a second antenna (4) or to an amplifier unit not shown in the figure. Currents in the shield (34) of the coaxial cable (33) can be suppressed by means of a quarter wave trap (35). For use with several frequency bands, several wave traps may be supplied. Another possibility is to use a loss means, such as a ferrite ring, to extinguish any wave that could follow the outside of the shield.
Optimizing the dimensions of the pattern should be made in such a way that not only provides a good transmission from the PIFA antenna (6) to the adapter antenna (2) as well as in the other direction, but also fulfills the demand that the impedance of the PIFA antenna in the feed point (9) should be influenced as little as possible.

You are invited to an informal 30-Year Reunion gathering.
When: Saturday, June 6th, 2015
Time: 7:00 pm
Where: Skybokx109, Cloverleaf Marketplace, 319 Speen Street, Natick, MA (attached to the Hampton Inn)
This is an opportunity to reminisce and catch up with "old" friends! We are hoping you can attend. There is no cost to attend the event (cash bar). Food may be ordered individually.
Based on some of the feedback, it sounds like people are interested in having a more formal get-together later in the year. We thought this could also be a chance to people to start that conversation if they'd like. If you are unable to make the June event, feel free to contact us with your information and we can keep you posted on any future events.
Please feel free to contact Janet Roberts at email@example.com with any questions. A web site has also been set up: http://marianhigh1985.myevent.com/. This has the information and you can send a note through that web site. We're trying to update our class list, so please send along your e-mail address so we can be sure to connect with as many people as possible.
Please spread the word and let our classmates know!

Reuters Published Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2012 6:44AM EDT Last updated Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2012 6:48AM EDT Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy received some backing for his austerity programme as he won an election in his home region of Galicia, although nationalist parties won instead in the Basque Country. The Galicia election was viewed as a referendum on the Spanish government's handling of the euro zone crisis, and analysts are asking if Rajoy will now decide to ask for a bailout.

"Great design; fits well with the invitation and response cards. Love that the purple/green option has a nice balance between the two colors. Nice thick paper - makes me want to buy a quill and a pot of ink :)"
"When I first came across this design I immediately fell in love and ordered it right away. It wasn't until the cards arrived today that I saw the girl was wearing a veil!! Hahaha! Darn it!! I don't know how I missed it! Oh well, I guess I can still use it. I ordered a set for a best friend of mine in black and white and that came out very nice as well. In some ways, the black and white version of this card is actually nicer than pink. Overall, I'm very pleased and look forward to using these!"
"The Thank You Card came with the designs and texts as I expected, the only negative would be the size - they're on the small side."
"My husband and I were married in August. We used professional wedding shots from our photographer and created thank yous using this template. All of our guests have complimented us on the card and we could not be happier! We also added a touch from our honeymoon - we went to Italy and then on a Mediterranean cruise - and used "grazie mille" instead of "thank you." Little details! We just bought our first house and will be moving-in a few days before Christmas and I am thinking we will need to order cute cards to alert everyone of the address for our new nest!"
"This card look sooo great, I couldnt be happier with how it turned out. We wanted a card that had a few photos, not just one of us taking up the entire page, and this was perfect for us. Quality of the picutre and the service were flawless. Thank you !"

EASTON, Pennsylvania — An eastern Pennsylvania man has been sentenced to eight to 16 years in a murder-for-hire plot that prosecutors said targeted witnesses in a case against him.
Rene Figueroa, 35, pleaded no contest Friday in Northampton County Court to a homicide solicitation charge in a plea agreement with prosecutors.
The sentence will run concurrently to the 15½ to 31 years Figueroa is already serving in a December 2012 gun battle outside a Puerto Rican social club in south Bethlehem that killed a woman and injured five other people.
Jurors last fall convicted him of involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, receiving stolen property and carrying a firearm without a license, but rejected the first-degree murder conviction sought by prosecutors. A co-defendant was acquitted of all charges.
Authorities alleged that Figueroa tried to hire a fellow Northampton County prison inmate in 2013 to kill witnesses against him, offering $50,000 and help for the inmate in posting bail.
In a no contest plea, a defendant doesn't admit guilt but acknowledges that prosecutors have enough evidence to convict; the plea is treated as equivalent to a guilty plea during sentencing.
Figueroa's wife, Sonia Panell, is scheduled to be sentenced July 31 on a guilty plea in February in a separate murder-for-hire case. Prosecutors said Pannell, 38, tried to hire an Ohio man to kill three witnesses in Figueroa's case, but he went to federal authorities and helped record her talking about the planned killings.
Authorities said in court documents that she showed him photos of the three targets, warned that they would be armed, took him on a three-hour tour of places they could be found and discussed equipment and payment arrangements.

American singer/songwriter and actress Elíz (e-leese) Camacho, born Elizabeth Marie Camacho, on March 10, 1991, in Hinsdale, Illinois, is an American singer/songwriter and actress. Elíz is of Puerto Rican, African American, and Native American (Cherokee) ancestry. With various styles ranging from "belting pipes" to "melodious harmony ", with a petite stature, Elíz's electrifying charisma is the epitome of what can best be described as "lightning in a bottle" artistry.
Elíz's musical career began to take off in 2008 with her first stadium appearance, accompanied by an ensemble chosen to sing the National Anthem for the President Obama Rally held at the Crown Arena in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Elíz made her musical stage play debut at Cape Fear Regional Theatre in their production of Westside Story (2009) playing the part of "Consuelo" . This was followed by her appearance in the principal role of "Taylor McKessie", in Disney's® High School Musical 2, "On Stage" (2009) and national appearances in several television commercials, including Coca-Cola® "Summer Fun" (2009) and ESPN-U® "University of Florida" (2009). Elíz was chosen to perform as one of the Ray Kennedy entertainers on the Palm Beach Princess Cruise ship performing "The Sounds of Christmas" (2009) as the lead female soprano.
Eliz was the only independent recording artist featured on the "Microsoft Windows Media Guide" ® during the week of the 2011 Grammy's. She was also featured on the first female compilation album titled "She Got Next". While already known as the "down-south, sultry, "ultra-sexy" diva, Eliz has made quite an impression on the "Big Apple" including being the special-guest/presenter/co-host at the 2011 Hip Hop Underground Music Awards at B.B. Kings in New York City in which she performed her song "Get Loose" before a cheering standing room only audience.
Eliz was the opening act for "Grammy-Award" winning songwriter/singer "Gordon Chambers" at the "One Night Only with Gordon Chambers" show which supported the "non-profit" organization "Samaritan's Feet". She has shared the stage with other headlining acts including Boyz II Men, Vivian Green, Omarion, and Yolanda Adams at the 2012 CIAA "Toyota Fan Experience" and with Tyra Banks, Kim Burell, Kelly Price, Robin Thicke, and Anthony Hamilton at the 2012 Women's Empowerment Expo. 2012 also saw Elíz land a role in the motion picture Changing the Game (2012) playing "Julissa", the sexy, flirtatious Latina flight attendant.
During her impressive young career, Elíz has already captured many notable awards and garnered several features including the "2012 Female R&B of the Year" (NCUMAS), "Featured Hottest R&B Singer" (Windows Media Guide®), "Artist of the Week" (Reverb Nation®)," Best New Artist of the Year" 2010 (Independent Artist Music Awards 2010), "Musician of the Month" (TalkofNc.com), WORLD NEWS®, FAMOUS WHY®, Carolina Entertainers of the Month (Carolina Artists®), CheckMateNewYork.com, HotStepz Magazine, Musician of the Month (CHASEMEBABY.COM), Shive Magazine, El Barrio Magazine, SASS Magazine, Disarray Magazine and X-Pozsed Magazine Primetyme Magazine and many others. Elíz is currently working on her highly anticipated album titled "House of Mirrors" and has released her first Urban/Adult Contemporary single, "Get Loose", which first premiered on "All Access Music Group".

Canes forward Anthony Stewart said there never was any doubt, any hesitation. Brian Boyle of the New York Rangers hit Jeff Skinner along the boards in the third period of Thursday's game -- a dangerous hit, in Stewart's eyes. Just like that, Stewart went after Boyle, throwing punches, drawing a fighting major but also an instigator minor. "It was one of our star players but I would do it for anyone else," Stewart said today after the Canes practice at Raleigh Center Ice. "It (stinks) that I got the two minutes but it was more of a moral victory than anything, to show the camaraderie on the team. "We're trying to go in a new direction here and guys are going to have to do some things maybe out of their element. Jumping a guy here and there will help this team. I don't think it's happened this year where we stand up for a teammate right away, but going forward we have to do those little things and come out of our comfort zone to help us." The Canes lost to the Rangers 5-3 and Stewart ...

UFO Religion: Inside Flying Saucer Cults and Culture
I. B. Tauris, Aug 15, 2007 - Performing Arts - 224 pages
What is it about UFOs that speaks to people with an apparently religious intensity? In this uncanny and frequently eerie assessment of the world of UFO-logy, Gregory L. Reece travels deep into this alien mindset on a quest for the truthĀbehind everything from Scientologists, crop circles, flying saucer crashes and alien abductions.ĀWith tales of a night in the Mojave Desert watching the night skies for flying saucers, a trip to Nevada's top-secret installation "Area 51" and a visit to the now infamous Roswell crash site, Reece provides an intelligent and humorous anecdotal account of his search for the answers.

Much of this book is encyclopedia-style entries about different sightings and people, but it's a very interesting topic. I liked Reece's commentary, and especially liked his outlook on the whole issue ... Read full review
The author summarizes information on UFOs from the late 19th century to approximately the year of publication. He discusses abductions, crashes, sightings, and various religions, such as Scientology, that base part of their credos on extraterrestrial life.
The main complaint I have on this book is the excerpts.
The author takes large citations and excerpts them from other sources, and these are always given, as large quotations, in small print size, making them difficult to read. Also, after a while, they become repetitive.
Also, with a few exceptions, if you've read one description of aliens and flying saucers, you really have enough to go on. Sure, there are variations, but the author would have treated his readers better if he had given more of his own experiences and his own comments rather than excerpting large quotations from other sources. Those can go in an appendix or the sources can just be cited in a bibliography, for readers interested in following up.
To me, the author seems only to have avoided work he should have done himself by making these large excerpts, and that's why I gave the book two stars. To me, he was just lazy. Sure, he drove to California (from Alabama) to look at some supposed UFO cites. And that's where the story should have been, in his own travels and findings. Not with these constant excerpts from sources that he always seems to discredit himself. He wants to read malarkey? And in fine print? Is that why they call it fine print? Like in a legal document? It's assumed you will just skip over them. So now the book is about 80 pages long, without the quotations.
