Patty Greer had a life changing out-of-body-experience in the center of a UK Crop Circle in 2007, and that was the day her perception of reality was forever changed. She saw & felt things she had never experienced before; she wasn't alone! Within 2 years (of that day) Greer produced four full feature documentary films with no training, experience, or previous interest in film making whatsoever. Her movies focus on UFOs, Crop Circles and 2012. She's won 6 prestigious awards and experienced more than 100 UK Crop Circles personally since 2006. In 2010 she completed her 5th film, even the editing. She is a true "Croppie" and a firm believer in the phenomena, finding their messages to be very timely and illuminating. 

Greer is one of the only film makers offering untouched photos of the Orange Balls of Light witnessed in and around the UK Crop Circles. Her recent film offers two witnesses who saw "Illuminated Light Beings with arms, legs and a head come out of the Balls of Light!" The witness said, "My eyes don't lie. It's just my rational mind that tries to find a rational explanation!" Her images show the actual doorway where the Beings came out. 

Greer won two EBE Awards for "Best Feature Film UFO or Related" at the International UFO Congress Convention Film Festival in 2009 + 2010. She also received the "2010 Best Musical Score Within A UFO Program EBE Award" for her original music soundtrack. She received the 2010 Moondance GAIA Award, "Presented to the person who seeks to elucidate and improve the spiritual quality of all life on the planet, and contributes to the betterment of the world spirit" and the "Moondance Audience Favorite Film" award for "Crop Circles 2010 Update - The Wake Up Call" and "2012 - We're Already In It."

Patty Greer films real people telling first-hand stories in the Crop Circles and sacred sites of Southern England. With no make-up, no hairdos, no BS and no scripts, she produced some of the most honest and illuminating UFO films to date - that are NOT sugar coated! 

Originally Patty had gone to the UK Crop Circles to heal her body from being poisoned by Mercury (silver amalgam) fillings in her teeth. She had been a professional musician for more than 30 years, and her life changed drastically without warning after visiting 'a dirty dentist.' In less than a year his toxic fillings effected her hands badly and she was forced to live in gloves and band-aids for 7 years, sacrificing her musical career, exquisite harps and pianos. Her social life was halted and none of the doctors could heal her - or they could lose their license for telling the truth about the toxicity of mercury fillings. It was her desperation to heal that took her to the English Crop Circles. She had given up on humans healing her, and would have done anything! 

Five documentaries later, the rest is history. As one door closed, another door opened and fortunately she stepped through it. Patty is almost healed now (2012) and began playing piano again. Her movies feature her original music in the soundtracks and she has just completed a new CD of her harp recordings called "Autumn Glow" and it's available on her website

Patty was featured on the cover of UFO Magazine 2011 and introduced in Open Minds Magazine 2011 and Telluride Style Mag 2011. Her movies have received rave reviews from around the world and she is a regular guest on a variety of different talk radio shows.

If you’re a believer, be prepared to be captivated. If you’re a skeptic, be prepared to be converted! Experts acknowledge seeing many new things her extraordinary films!

Patty Greer's movies include : 
"The Wake Up Call - Anybody Listening? A Crop Circles Documentary"

"2012 - We're Already In It"
"Crop Circles 2010 Update - The Wake Up Call"

GUESTS: THE ELLA SISTERS, (FIORELLA VULTAGGIO and GABRIELLA VULTAGGIO)

GABRIELLA VULTAGGIO

Gabriella Vultaggio is one of the strongest up and coming young dancers on the west coast. She has been awarded numerous scholarships from organizations such as Dance Educators of America, Hollywood Vibe, Titans of Dance, West Coast Elite Dance, and Radix Dance Convention. She has had the honor of being recognized, called out of hundreds of dancers in class, and asked to perform in select groups of elite dancers by amazing world-known choreographers like David Moore, Jojo Gomez, Brooke Lipton, and Alexa Anderson.

Gabriella has been chosen to be a member of Art of Movement’s 2018 – 2019 Academy, where she will travel across the country to assist some of the best choreographers in the nation at their various conventions in cities such as Dallas and Minneapolis. Gabriella was selected to dance in Spotlight Dance Cup’s Elite performance where she worked closely with Andre + Leah who are choreographers from Cirque du Soleil’s LOVE show in Las Vegas. Gabriella has also been a  critical group member to Element Dance Studio’s four-time nominated Industry Dance Awards performances.

Before officially choosing dance as her main focus in life, Gabriella was a record setting swimmer, winning several top awards in the pool. It is quite an accomplishment for Gabriella to already be recognized as a stand out dancer, because she has only been training and performing as a soloist for less than half the amount of time as her competition. It is a testament to hard work, determination, and tenacity that anyone can achieve their goals, because during this time Gabriella has had to learn all of the technical and strength aspects of dance while growing twelve inches over the past two years.

Gabriella is excited to be attending Arizona’s Conservatory for Arts and Academics where she will continue to develop her love of the arts. Her creativity in the arts also extends to photography, painting, music, and acting.

FIORELLA VULTAGGIO

Fiorella Vultaggio is the epitome of what hard work can accomplish. She is a straight-A high school student, as well as a highly accomplished, award-winning dancer. Fiorella has always juggled a busy schedule. She began playing piano at 4 years-old, along with participating in various sports activities. By the time she was in grade school she was state ranked in the long-jump, qualified for regional championships in swimming, and adjudicated top in the state in piano.  As she continued to explore her budding passions in life, however, two main loves clearly rose to the top—horses and dancing.

Fiorella has been chosen out of some of the best dancers in the country to be a select member of Art of Movement’s Academy program, where she will travel the country assisting world-renound choreographers in various styles of dance at each of their conventions. She has also been chosen as a part of Chloe & Maud Arnold’s #NoFilter SoleTalk Youth Tap Company based out of Los Angeles, which often performs annually at the sold-out Syncopated Ladies Tap Shows, and DC Tap Fest. In addition, Fiorella is a multiple Hollywood Vibe National Scholarship Winner, as well as a five-time Industry Dance Awards nominee for her group numbers while dancing at Element Dance Studio. Most recently Fiorella placed in the top 10 overalls for her tap solo, choreographed by Chris Rutledge from The Edge Dance Studio in L.A. and Universal Studios, at Spotlight Dance Cup Nationals.

As much as Fiorella loves dance, her other passion is horses. She is lucky enough to be attending Arizona Agribusiness and Equine Center Early College High School in Paradise Valley this coming fall. She is looking forward to working along side other animal enthusiasts as she studies the care and wellbeing of our furry friends. The ultimate fusion of her two passions would be to be a member of Cirque du Soleil’s Cavalia show where the artistry incorporates horses into the magic!

One of Fiorella’s favorite quotes is, “It takes an athlete to dance, but an artist to be a dancer,” by Shanna LaFluer. Fiorella’s natural strength and athleticism is only matched by her musicality and grace on stage.

THE ELLA SISTERS

The Ella Sisters, made up of Fiorella and Gabriella Vultaggio, is a culmination of years of dedication and hard work between two sisters determined to follow their passion of dance. These sisters were a bit late to the dance training scene, but in four short years they have risen to the top of the West Coast dance scene winning numerous convention scholarships with organizations such as Hollywood Vibe and Spotlight Dance Cup, top ten national solo performances, and coveted spots on Art of Movement’s The Academy.

LEAD SINGER AND SONGWRITER

FOR ALTERNATIVE METAL/HARD ROCK BAND

N O N P O I N T

The unconquerable spirit of NONPOINT charges up the energy in any environment, from the studio to the stage. The stamina, resilience, diversity, massive power and undeniable authenticity of the enduring Active Rock crew makes them kindred spirits to their audience: fans who call upon the band’s tried-and-true anthems to help conquer adversity in their own lives.

Nonpoint emerged as part of the cultural wave of aggressive-streetwise-metal-mixed-with-melodic-force and unapologetic passion that burst from underground clubs onto Ozzfest and MTV in the “aughts.” But even as radio formats shifted and the window dressing aesthetics changed, the sheer intensity balanced with huge catchiness of Nonpoint bangers like “Bullet with a Name,” “Breaking Skin,” “The Truth” and “That Day” kept them relevant and revered.

“Our fans appreciate the variety in what we do and the difference in how we do it,” notes frontman Elias Soriano. “We write songs that have meat on the bones and stick to your ribs.”

Nonpoint has brought their message to the masses on tour with Disturbed, Papa Roach, Stone Sour, 10 Years, and Megadeth, while selling close to 1 million albums in North America. Their juxtaposition of rhythm and melody gets heads bobbing, hands in the air, and crowds singing.

The elite squad of Nonpoint’s contemporaries and peers with both staying power and continued creative progression includes chart-topping, trend-proof survivors like Disturbed, Slipknot, Deftones, and Korn. The Fort Lauderdale-based quintet is undeniably counted among those ranks, to diehard true believers who know what’s up. Case in point: less than 24 months ago, Nonpoint’s “Breaking Skin” was the most-played song on SiriusXM Octane for the entire year.

The Poison Red, the veteran rock band’s driving and ambitious ninth album, offers further testament to what makes Nonpoint such a tough act for other bands to follow on the radio dial, onstage at major festivals like Rock On The Range or Australia’s Soundwave, and in any club blessed with one of the band’s sweaty, crowd moving, exhaustion-proof performances. From their earliest ultra DIY releases, through the trio of major label albums, to their more recent work for the world’s most important indies, the energy and determination remains consistent.

“Generation Idiot” rails against internet tough guys and text-message fairweather friends, emphasizing the power of deeper means of communication and connection, which includes music. It’s one of Nonpoint’s heaviest songs ever. “Divided Conquer Them” imagines what could be achieved with a greater cultural influence on art and quality of life than in the mind-numbing routines of accumulating possessions. “Standing in the Flesh” is a penultimate Nonpoint song, reveling in the transformative, shared experience of band and audience. “El Diablo” rails against the deceivers who promise the world only to deliver pain in business and in life. “My Last Dying Breath” is a fitting closer for The Poison Red, a statement of purpose that all of the sacrifices it’s taken for Nonpoint to make it this far will not be for naught; they are lifers in this music thing.

“I’m trying to empower people and that’s it,” Soriano says with matter-of-fact clarity. “It’s because I’m trying to empower myself. I’m trying to be a better person. I don’t’ want to be a ‘good’ man, I want to be the best man, the best guy that I can be. I want to always get better.”

It’s hard to imagine another band with the courage to tackle Jay-Z’s “99 Problems,” Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” and Pantera’s “Five Minutes Alone” in the first place, let alone pull all of them off like Nonpoint. Those reference points loudly attest to the pure skill and impressive range of Soriano (vocals); the groove-oriented rhythmic pulse of his fellow Floridian cofounder Robb Rivera (drums); the decisive and driving heaviness of longtime band mates Rasheed Thomas (guitar) and Adam Woloszyn (bass); the shredding technicality of B.C. Kochmit (guitar); and how they merge together to create the unique and recognizable Nonpoint sound.

Nonpoint operates with the bottom-heavy groove of Sabbath, the audacious danger of The Crue and GN’R, the theatrical bent of Maiden, the in-your-face brutality of Pantera and the urgent explosiveness of Rage Against The Machine. This is music for the millions of people who connect just as passionately with Metallica’s Black Album as the record of the same name by Jay-Z, the same fans that grew up to start increasingly rock radio leaning bands like Bring Me The Horizon.

“Not everybody wants to go see a shrink and not everybody wants to sit around and wallow,” Soriano observes. “Our music can be therapy. It is what helps someone get through something. I attest all of our success to keeping three things important: the music, the show, and the fans.

Nonpoint released two new songs recently …  "Chaos and Earthquakes" and "Dodge Your Destiny." 

These songs will appear on the band's new album, titled X and pronounced "Ten," out August 24 via Spinefarm Records. The album is the tenth studio release of the band's career.

"Ten - I can already tell is going to become a flagship record for us," said singer Elias Soriano. "Watching people's reactions when we play them the new music tells me that we have created something that is going to move crowds and may even redefine us. It's the year of the X." 

Nonpoint recently wrapped their co-headine Kings & Queens Tour with Butcher Babies. The band is currently sorting its next set of tour plans and will spend much of the next year and beyond on the road in support of its last effort. 

NONPOINT is ... Elias Soriano (Vocals), Robb Rivera (Drums), Rasheed Thomas (Guitar /Vocals), Adam Woloszyn (Bass), BC Kochmit (Lead Guitar / Vocals)

Although not optimal, "reunion" (or retrocession) with the state of Maryland would give Washingtonians the basic democratic rights we currently lack.

Douglass County, Maryland is a 501(c)(4) organization founded to advocate for the creation of Douglass County, Maryland, as the most viable solution to the second-class citizenship of the residents of the District of Columbia. Douglass County will have one city in it – Washington. Signs will still say “Welcome to Washington” and we will still live in a city named after George Washington, our first president.The flag of Douglass County, Maryland, will be the flag of Washington, DC. It will have three red stars and two red bars on a white background. Our logo is only meant to show the reunion of Maryland and the city through the creation of Douglass County.

StrongBoard balance was founded by Mike Curry, and ACE certified personal trainer, and his wife, Adella Curry who runs a marketing consultancy. It was created and designed by Mike, while Adella heads the company’s sales and marketing departments.

StrongBoard balance is a one piece apparatus with the springs connected between a base and platform. Unlike traditional balance trainers, there is no tube or roller, which prevents the board from sliding out from underneath or coming apart. Due to this, StrongBoard balance is safer to balance on than other balance boards. StrongBoard Balance’s effectiveness lies in patented multi spring technology which prevents stabilization from occurring when body weight is applied. Through employing various balance techniques, StrongBoard Balance works to strengthen the core, strengthen stabilizing muscles and build neuropathic communication. By not allowing stabilization, the user’s muscles never stops working.With a design consisting of a solid base and a flat top, StrongBoard Balance is an effective tool for exercises including pushups, step ups, squats, and many others.
