Sorry if I'm ignorant, but isn't this those guys that went behind Saturn or something, to acheive Nirvana? Ha, I'd wondered about that name myself. Is this some rum-making UFO cult? Is this the main ingredient in a Klingon Mojito? Alas, it's just the last name of the owners. And they're obviously frustrated about just this type of confusion - they give a pronunciation tip (ray-leen) on their website. I looked it up, and found I'd been confusing the Heaven's Gate cult and the Raëlian Church - both alien/UFO-related. The first was the group that committed suicide, so they could go rendezvous with the UFO that was hiding behind the Hale-Bopp comet. The Raëlians made headlines in 2002 with their claim to have cloned a baby girl, named Eve.
