Ok, so I guess you get the idea of the thread.

How did you discover said book?

Maggie Stiefvater's writing style in this book is commendable. The ending was a little too anticlimatic for my taste and I feel like we're left with more questions than before. That said, I'd still say it was a very strange and different read. Really liked it.
I liked it. I always find myself reverting to Twilight when I read books about werewolves or vampires. I feel like a lot of newer series spawn from Meyer's ideas.
"Meyer's ideas"?!
Other than fangless sparklepires, did Meyer have any original ideas? No offense, but: everything else she wrote was obviously plagiarized(sp?) from Anne Rice, or Joss Whedon, or some other talented storyteller IMHO.
How much difference can there be in one vampire/werewolf romance from the other? I'm no huge reader in the vampire world of literature, but my point was that after Twilight's undeniable success, there was a flood of paranormal romance in YA and most of it seems very similar to said series.
Maybe that was a loose statement - sorry. Perhaps what I should have said is that a lot of the paranormal YA series' that I read that were released post-Twilight as reminiscent of Twilight. Do you disagree?
The book that I was referring to there was Shiver by M. Stiefvater. There's a brown skinned, dark haired, yellow eyed werewolf who changes back and forth and unconditionally loves this random girl. There is no triangle in the book, but it definitely lacks originality.
I don't disagree, I just feel that while Twilight was undeniably the biggest commercial success of it's type, other than fangless sparklepires it had almost no originality.
I am currently reading two books, To Kill A Mockingbird and City of Lost Souls in the Mortal Instruments series.
To Kill A Mockingbird- As this is my third time reading it, I am finding it extremely enjoyable, almost like a comfortable old chair to rest on.
Mortal Instruments City of Lost Souls- No words. This series is so incredible it beat out The Hunger Games AND Twilight in one swoop for me. Its incredible.
TKAMB: Yes, of course, that is if any of my friends had the mind to actually WANT to read. Crazy foos'.
MICOLS: See above.
TKAMB: I found this book buried in a box after moving and said....hey I wanna read this again.
MICOLS: Picked it up at Target. Decided to read it. Best idea ever.
I always ALMOST pick up a book from the Mortal Instrument series. They look good enough, but I am always reluctant to buy them. I dunno why. Maybe you are provoking me to take the leap. :) Glad you're enjoying them so much.
Brandy I did the same thing. I actually went to the library to check out City of Bones before I bought it. I loved it. Do you have a Kindle? If so you could download the sample.
i am reading the blackdagger brotherhood. Very good books.
there are many i think 10.
They are a litlle more adult though.
Books are by J R Ward.
HUGE fan. What one you up to now?
I am still reading The Lucky One, which, to my delight, is almost like a parallel to the movie. Everything happens differently, the characters, except for maybe Thibault, are completely misrepresented. Blah blah, but it's turning out to be a good book. Definitely a little on the slow side. It seems like Sparks didn't want to reveal what the characters were thinking at all, just dropping hints. I want more! But I have a feeling that it is coming soon.
I picked up Crossed by Ally Condie, the 2nd book of the Matched trilogy, and I'm stoked to finally get it. I wanted to wait and buy it once the price went down, but I couldn't wait.
I also bought Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, because I've heard good things, so I'm ready to find out for myself. I'll get back to you guys on that one.
'Til then..
I thought The Lucky One moved fairly quickly; a rather small book. Then again, I read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in 3 days, so perhaps I am not a good judge of such things.

A Special Message to all Schools
The three schools that raise the most funds for the Scott-Amundsen Race and the Royal British Legion will be rewarded with a visit from the Scott team! Mark, Vic and Kev will give a full presentation during their visit, with slides, videos, images, in short, the full works.
Schools wishing to donate should do so via the JustGiving.com page. Enter the name of your school when donating, and email Andy the webmaster at email@example.com to make sure we register your donation.
We'd also like to invite all the schools that are following the progress to contact the webmaster, so that you can be mentioned on a new "Scott-Amundsen Schools" page. Please include a very short text on your school and any SACR-related activities, especially fundraising efforts! We'll list your school plus a link to your website.
Distance remaining: 487 nmi
Total distance travelled: 183.4 nmi (27.7%)
The Amundsen team's report comes from Henry Worsley. The white darkness that has so afflicted Henry and Lou these past few days has thankfully abated, only to reveal endless, featureless snow, stretching off into the horizon in every direction. With around 70 nautical miles until the first mountain peak, according to Amundsen's diary of events 100 years ago, the guys have roughly another 6 days until they sight land.
Henry mentions the advantage the Scott team has in this regard, that of always having sight of a mountain range, either behind or in front of them. However, he is of course unaware of the terrible conditions and poor visibility that the Scott team has had to endure for the past four days.
Despite a steep climb of around 150ft to their highest altitude yet (347ft), our chaps managed to equal their personal best of 12.4 nautical miles.
Henry ends his report with his views on Lou's imagination, and a harrowing account of an hour spent with the Wombles of Antarctica. Something tells us this isn't the last of Lou's strange imaginings.

Distance to the Pole: 570 nmi

Kev Johnson gives us today's report from the Scott team. We hear about another day of poor conditions, with visibility making tricky work of the navigation (don't be too hard on yourself, Vic!).
We get further insights into their navigation techniques, before Kev wraps things up with another message of thanks to his mother-in-law Hilary for her excellent fundraising efforts. The Cantilupe Masonic Lodge also gets a thank you for its donation to the Royal British Legion.

We give voice to the loved ones of our intrepid adventurers. This week, Joanna Worsley of the South Pole Lonely Wives' Club (SPLWC) shares her thoughts:
"The Scott-Amundsen Race is Henry's second, and surely not his last, expedition to the South Pole. The first, three years ago, took five years to plan with a great many people helping in all aspects of the fundraising, training, planning and publicity. This one seems to have taken a brief few months which is an extraordinary achievement."
"I remember clearly the day Mark came to our house in Hereford only a year ago. As he laid out a very white map in our conservatory, I knew straight away, and accepted, that the challenge and thrill of a second expedition would be too enticing for Henry to decline. Henry, however, being a great deal less certain of what our reactions might be, spent a week tiptoeing around our children – Max and Alicia – and me, reassuring us that he had only assumed the role of an 'advisor'! But the truth will out, and after Max's prompting that his father was a wimp for not participating in the race, it was only a day until Henry's role turned from that of 'advisor' to leading the Amundsen team!"
"I've always been positive about this expedition, particularly as Amundsen's route through the mountains seems to have no cravasses which might otherwise have caused some anxiety as there are only two of them."
"I'm thrilled when people follow their dreams and even more thrilled when they achieve them. There is a wonderful quote by Henry David Thoreau in the mid 19th Century 'go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined'. I have no desire at all to visit the South (or North) Pole myself and am more than happy leaving that to Henry. It is Asia that recharges my soul and fills my life more and more as the children turn into independent young adults, and so I head to India in the New Year….."
If you're a family member or close friend, and would like to send your message out to all the readers, please do email Andrew Gough (webmaster) at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Keep track of both teams with our interactive Google Earth map. Zoom in to see each day's progress, with the position marked by pictures of team leaders Henry Worsley and Mark Langridge. Click on the icon to see that day's sitrep in full.

Rate Dr. Walter D. Boyd
Dr. Walter D. Boyd's Ratings
When I needed heart surgery a physician friend of mine recommended I go to an academic center and seek the best. After doing my research I came across Dr. Boyd. I was actually surprised at the amount of time he spent with my wife, son and I going over my case and answering all the questions we had about my condition. He has an excellent bedside manner, and is recognized as a world expert in robotic heart surgery. Even though my case was complex, he was thorough in preparing me and getting all the tests I needed before surgery. I had a remarkable recovery and have never felt better!!! My friend was right, other doctors send their relatives and friends to him which says a lot.

Greatest Oil Kings, Number 1
This fall I'm going to do about 25 or so of these, maybe two a week. Idea being that the Edmonton Oil Kings are back, and there is a rich history of junior hockey in this city.
Beginning Thursday night, junior hockey is back in town. It's a terrific time to be a hockey fan in our city, and as time goes on I'll probably be posting on the new players and the Oil Kings in general.
For now, a look back.
This is Garnet "Ace" Bailey. He was born June 13, 1948 in Lloydminster. He died on September 11, 2001.
The following article appeared in the March 4, 1967 Hockey News and was written by Alex Hardy.
There is no way Garnet "Ace" Bailey can miss making the National Hockey League. Just ask him. On some young athletes, Bailey's kind of confidence seems like a facade, incompletely hiding natural fears and insecurities. But 18-year old Ace Bailey wears his confidence like a custom-made suit. It fits. And it makes him look good.
Bailey is the brightest star on the star-studded Memorial Cup champion Edmonton Oil Kings, and is a prime reason the outlaw Canadian Major Junior Hockey League is a box office success at the midway mark of the schedule. Bailey leads the Oil Kings with 42-41-83 in 48 games. Playing with an effortless style, Ace gives the impression he can score anytime the thought strikes him. And he has had the thought often enough to rank among the junior circuit's five top point getters.
He has everyone in the Oil Kings organization supporting his argument. The supporters start with Bill Gadsby, the 20-year veteran of NHL wars who quit after the 65-66 season to accept the Oil Kings coaching position at a reported $15,000 per year. "Right now, Bailey is still somewhat of a raw physical specimen," says Gadsby. "But he has every quality needed to be an outstanding big leaguer. His attitude is good, he has size and he likes the rough going. And with age on his side, he's going to be a heck of a player."
Gadsby admits that the smooth skating forward still has some edges that need polishing. "For one, he's got to shoot more often, and he tends to keep just one hand on his stick. But these things will come."
Bailey, who carries 175 solid pounds on a 5-11 frame, gained minor league experience in Lloydminster, on the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. He came to the Oil Kings when he was 16 and immediately showed flashes of potential. "But his desire to use his talent used to be lacking," said Don Scott, asst to Oil Kings GM Bill Hunter. "I'm happy to say his attitude has improved every year. Playing under someone like Bill Gadsby has been a maturing factor in itself," Scott adds.
Garnet Bailey ended the 66-67 season with 47-46-93 in 56gp. He would turn pro the following year and play for the Boston Bruins 68-73 (playing on the Big, bad Bruins with Orr) before beginning a journeyman NHL career. He won a SC with Boston, scoring a huge goal against the NY old time Ranger fans still remember. He played 568 NHL games, scored 107-171-278 and played for the Oilers in the WHA toward the end of his playing career. He played on a line with Gretzky with Edmontonin 78-79.
A few other notes:
- Selected 13th overall by Boston Bruins in 1966 NHL amateur draft.
- Won Memorial Cup with Edmonton Oil Kings in 1966.
- Won Calder Cup (AHL championship) with Hershey Bears in 1969.
- Won Stanley Cup in 1970 with Boston, but did not get his name on the SC.
- Won Stanley Cup in 1972 with Boston.
- Selected by Alberta in WHA General Player Draft, Feb. 12, 1972.
- Traded by Boston Bruins to Detroit Red Wings with future considerations (Murray Wing, June 4, 1974) for Gary Doak, March 1, 1973.
- Traded by Detroit Red Wings to St. Louis Blues with Ted Harris and Bill Collins for Bryan Watson, Chris Evans and Jean Hamel, Feb. 14, 1974.
- Traded by St. Louis Blues to Washington Capitals with Stan Gilbertson for Denis Dupere, Feb. 10, 1975.
- He won a SC with the Oilers in 1984, 1985, 1987 and 1988 as a pro scout, but his name did not appear on the Stanley.
- He won a SC with the Oilers in 1990 as a pro scout, this time his name appeared for a second time on the Stanley.
- Became director of pro scouting for Los Angeles in 1994 and remained in that position until his death.
- The Los Angeles Kings renamed their annual most inspirational player award the Ace Bailey Award in Bailey's memory.
- Killed in plane crash after terrorists hijacked his flight from Boston to Los Angeles and deliberately crashed it into one of the World Trade Center towers.

Ice Hockey
Men's Hockey Beats Ferris State 6-3
Feb. 28, 1998
Michigan State goaltender Chad Alban's empty-net, 180-foot goal sparked celebration in Munn Ice Arena and capped off a historic night in college hockey as Michigan State beat Ferris State, 6-3. Alban, considered the premier puck-handling goaltender in college hockey and a favorite for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, given to the nation's top player, got the puck in the corner to the back right of Michigan State's goal. He fired a perfect shot from close to the back boards which bounced several times and glided into the left side of the empty Ferris State net with 13 seconds remaining.
"Everything was perfect," Alban said. "The defensemen held up their forwards and I had plenty of room. I let it go and it looked good." Alban was mobbed as his teammates all left the Michigan State bench in jubilation. The sellout Munn Arena crowd of 6,511 exploded as well. Upon returning to the Spartan bench, Alban received a hug from head coach Ron Mason. Alban is believed to be the fourth college goaltender ever to score a goal and the first to actually shoot the puck into an empty net. Maine's Jim Tortorella shot a puck against Vasby of Sweden in 1980 which was mishandled by the Vasby goaltender. In 1989, Damian Rhodes got credit for a goal when he was the last Michigan Tech player to touch the puck before it went in the Colorado College net. Earlier this year, Andy Allen of Vermont scored against Harvard when a Harvard pass from behind the net deflected off his stick and into an empty Crimson goal. Alban, who handles the puck more than 30 times per game not counting saves, also had an assist on the evening on Michigan State's third goal. He has a goal and nine assists (10 points) now in his four-year career. Alban is not bad at stopping the puck either, and entered tonight leading the nation in both goals-against average (1.54) and save percentage (.925). He is the leader of the second-ranked Michigan State team (28-4-5 overall, 20-4-4 and in first place in the CCHA) and was featured in this week's Sports Illustrated as the magazine's choice for the Hobey Baker Award. The night was historic for another reason for Alban, as the victory was the 83rd of his career, equaling Jason Muzzatti for the Michigan State record. Tonight was also Senior Night at Munn Ice Arena.
Michigan State head coach Ron Mason: "I've seen it on TV in the NHL a few times, and I knew that if anyone could do it, it would be Chad. That puts the icing on the cake for him."
MSU senior defenseman and team captain Tyler Harlton: "It was an amazing feeling to watch the puck going down the ice. We all knew Chad could do it; he has a better shot than half our team."
Ferris State head coach Bob Daniels: "It's hard for us, but at the same time, I think it's great for college hockey. I think it's exciting, I really do. Had that been the difference in the game, I wouldn't think it was so good, but given the circumstances, it was a great thing."

Portsmouth shooting
PORTSMOUTH-One person was killed and four others were wounded in a shooting at a public housing complex in Portsmouth.
Police were called to London Oaks on Mount Vernon Avenue just after 11:00 p.m. Sunday.
Aron Turner, 31, of the 3900 block of Trailwood Court was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers also found two men in the adjacent parking lot suffering from gunshot wounds. Both were transported to Sentara Norfolk General.
Medical staff at Sentara Norfolk General also reported a man walked into the ER with a gunshot wound. Maryview Hospital staff reported another man entered their ER with a gunshot wound. Both men said they were shot on Mt. Vernon Avenue.
The four victims who survived the shooting are in serious to guarded condition, police said Monday afternoon.
The victims range in age from 29 to 34. Police say they were visiting an apartment when suspects entered the front door and began shooting.
The suspects fled on foot. Police have not yet released a description.
Police say the motive is unknown.
The shooting has caught the attention of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, who is working with the company that owns the London Oaks Apartments to increase security. Residents at the complex receive federal housing subsidies.
Neighbors say they feel increasingly unsafe near the complex, which spans three blocks. One resident who asked not to be identified said the complex has been overrun with gang and drug activity.
An off-duty police officer is now patrolling the complex around the clock after 13News Now alerted HUD to the seemingly increase in violence at the complex. Before the shooting, an officer patrolled the complex just four hours a day.
Joanna Rose, a spokeswoman for the company that owns the complex, gave 13News Now the following statement:
The safety and security of our residents is our first priority and we have consistently had on-property off-duty police patrols in place as well as site-wide exterior lighting we proactively installed after acquiring the property. We are aware of the unfortunate isolated incident that occurred on Sunday and have taken steps to increase the patrols even further. We are continuing to work closely with the Portsmouth Police Department on the matter. - Joanna Rose

Mariah Carey 's been working on a new album for quite some time and, while it doesn't have a release date, it just made Entertainment Weekly's list of upcoming "Albums We Can't Wait For." Whenever it does appear, though, Mariah says it will be a better record because of her stint as a judge on American Idol .
According to Mariah, her Idol experience -- specifically, watching the contestants give their all in their quest to make it -- has inspired her to push herself artistically.
"I think that this process has gotten me to a place where I look at some of the contestants and I go, 'You know what? This person has to try so hard and come in here and bare everything,' ...it makes me want to be a better artist," Mariah explains.
The superstar diva also says that the contestants' drive and determination has reminded her why she got into the business in the first place, and she's keeping that in mind as she works on her album.
"Whether it's lyrics, vocals, whatever it is, chord changes that I'm writing with someone I'm hearing in my head, honestly, I feel like you look at that drive, and it re-energizes you," Mariah says.
Mariah's fellow judge and manager Randy Jackson says he's not surprised that Mariah feels so inspired artistically by her Idol experience, because he's seen it before.
"I think that's happened for every artist that's been on this show," says Randy. "I know it happened for Jennifer [ Lopez ] and Steven [ Tyler ]. I'm sure it'll happen for Nicki [ Minaj ] and Keith [ Urban ] and, you know... for Paula [ Abdul ] or whomever's been on the show."
Mariah, however, doesn't like her experience to be compared to those other judges. After Randy made his comments, she laughed, "Don't throw me in the batch [with them]!"

Comic actor Ben Stiller and his actress wife, Christine Taylor, have sold part of their compound in the Hollywood Hills for $7,325,000, public records show.
The entire property, listed at $12.5 million two years ago, included two houses and a one-bedroom guesthouse for a total of 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms on nearly an acre.
The couple have sold a gated 1929 Spanish-style house of 5,334 square feet that had been restored and updated. Its outdoor courtyard and living areas, as well as the lushly landscaped pool area, are decorated with terra-cotta tiles and colorful inlays.
The second house, built in 1930 and also redone, returned to the market last month priced at $2,995,000. The 4,062-square-foot house sits on less than a third of an acre and contains four bedrooms and 41/2 bathrooms. The master bedroom includes a dressing room with a "hair sink," according to listing details. French doors along the back lead to extensive outdoor terrace and deck areas with built-in seating around mature trees.
Film and television actor Stiller, 45, starred in, co-wrote, produced and directed the 2008 action-adventure comedy "Tropic Thunder." He also starred in "Meet the Parents" (2000); its sequels, "Meet the Fockers" (2004) and "Little Fockers" (2010); and the cult classic "Reality Bites" (1994). He'll star with Eddie Murphy in "Tower Heist," due out next month.
Taylor, 40, whose television guest appearances include "Arrested Development" (2006) and "Friends" (1997), has starred in several films with Stiller, including "Tropic Thunder," "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" (2004) and "Zoolander" (2001).
Jonah Wilson of Sotheby's International Realty's Sunset office is the listing agent, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
Host puts an end to idle price chatter
Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has ended the speculation and revealed the price of her Beverly Hills estate in the Multiple Listing Service as $49 million. The property had been marketed since June on the Westside Estate Agency website as price "available upon request."
The four-structure compound was formed starting in 2007 through three property purchases on the same street. Among the sellers was Max Mutchnick, co-creator of the TV series "Will & Grace" (1998-2006), who sold his house for $29 million.
The 15,000 square feet of interior space in the compound include a 9,200-square-foot main house, two guesthouses and a three-bedroom house that can be used as office space or staff quarters. They sit on 3 acres of gated property with outdoor living spaces, a swimming pool, extensive gardens and koi ponds.
DeGeneres' 26-acre equestrian property in Thousand Oaks has been reduced to $14.9 million.
Listed in May at $16.5 million, the compound has eight farmhouse-style cottages, a yoga pavilion, a tennis court, stables and arenas. There are eight bedrooms and nine bathrooms in 7,000 square feet of living space.
DeGeneres married actress Portia de Rossi in a garden wedding at the Beverly Hills compound in 2008.
The comedian, 53, whose daytime show bears her name, has won 12 Emmys. De Rossi, 38, starred in the TV series "Better Off Ted" (2009-10) and "Arrested Development" (2003-06) and guest starred on "Nip/Tuck" (2007-09).
Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency in Beverly Hills is the listing agent for the Beverly Hills compound, according to the MLS, while Karen Crystal of Sotheby's International Realty in Agoura Hills and Chris Cortazzo of Coldwell Banker, Malibu West, are listing the equestrian property.
Suitable for a chairman of the board
An estate in Holmby Hills once owned by Frank Sinatra is on the market at $23.5 million.
On more than 2 acres, the gated house is surrounded by expanses of lawn and mature trees. A large courtyard sits at the center of the hacienda-style home, built in 1936. There are seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 8,631 square feet of living space.

Hundreds of "My Little Pony" collectibles cover Steve Lucia's bedroom — plush toys, comic books, trading cards and T-shirts. It is a sea of pink and purple, a shrine to a TV show originally intended for young girls.
But Lucia is a 25-year-old man, an electrician who lives in a Pasadena duplex and has what he calls a "healthy obsession."
"Being in the construction industry, there are guys who sit around and talk about women all day long," Lucia said. "I go home and wrap myself in ponies."
There are thousands of 20-somethings who share Lucia's love of the TV show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic." Called "bronies" (a mash-up of "bro" and "pony"), they not only collect official paraphernalia from the show but also create their own characters (called cosplay), art and even music.
This weekend, Lucia and some 6,000 other bronies from across the globe will head to the Baltimore Convention Center for BronyCon 2013, a celebration of brony culture. Among the events: Music inspired by "My Little Pony," brony dance-offs and panels with such titles as "So I Raised a Teenage Brony: Gender, Stereotypes and Mother-Son Bonding." The convention began in New York two years ago with just 100 attendees, and has exploded in popularity; Baltimore's BronyCon is expected to be the biggest yet.
"It's grown pretty quick," said BronyCon organizer Nick Opels. "We're trying to make it as big and comprehensive as we possibly can this year."
"My Little Pony" is no pop culture newcomer. It began as a television series in 1983 to help sell My Pretty Pony Hasbro toys to young girls. An animated film followed, along with several generations of the show. "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" is the latest — and the first to draw the attention of both girls and grown men. Launched in 2010 on cable's Hub Network, it is now the network's top series for girls ages 2-11, households and men ages 18-34, according to network publicist Dupe Bosu. The show centers on six magical ponies, who battle evil.
Donnie Weiss, an 18-year-old who lives in Rockville and plans to attend BronyCon this weekend, likes brony culture because it defies expectations.
"The whole idea of going against the social norm is kind of exciting for us," he said. "We found that by supporting each other and not letting anyone put us down for liking the show, it's kind of rallied us together."
Many bronies say their obsession centers on the show's cast of well-rounded, relatable characters. Weiss said he's most like Fluttershy, as they are "both kind of socially awkward but we both like to muster the courage to speak out when we need to." And Max Stahman, a first-year graduate student at the University of Maryland, is drawn to Rarity, a pony who is "somewhat snobbish and can rub people the wrong way, but ultimately has the best intentions and is a nice person."
Bronies are "not doing it for shock value," said Samuel Miller, a 34-year-old doctoral student at the University of North Dakota. He's studying how bronies are bending the boundaries of gender, and what their fandom means for masculinity.
"It's one thing if it's ironic," Miller said. "But when you're wearing a shirt with [the character] Pinkie Pie on it because you genuinely like Pinkie Pie, that's different."
Miller said common misconceptions about bronies are that they're gay, pedophiles or have developmental issues. Or, as Lucia puts it, "fat kids that live in their parents' basements" and have no jobs.
The average brony is 21-years-old, and grown men make up 86 percent of the brony community, according to a study conducted by two professors at Wofford College in South Carolina. More than 80 percent are heterosexual, but less than 3 percent are married. And 70 percent are full- or part-time students.
Brony culture can trace its roots to the website 4Chan. The craze grew from there, even resulting in a website called PonyChan (one of many online forums).
Camaraderie and creativity are two of the brony community's biggest draws. They have a large art presence on the site deviantart.com, make brony-themed music (Ibeabronyrapper is one of many performers at BronyCon) as well as fan fiction, compiled on sites such as Equestria Daily.
Lucia is involved with the brony meet-up group "DC Area MLP: FiM Fans," which has more than 650 members. They discuss the ins and outs of the show, and plan activities such as backpacking trips and watching "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" together.
But Lucia wasn't always an outgoing person. Before becoming a brony, he said he would spend hours indoors playing video games such as "World of Warcraft."
"I had no friends," he said. "Now I'm out almost every weekend hanging out with bronies."
Amy Keating Rogers, a writer for "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic," takes pride in seeing how the show has resonated with fans.

Acting, Broadway Singing, Music Performance, Music Recording, Singing
I believe everyone has the ability to sing … some better than others, of course, -- but regardless, I believe every voice can make a beautiful sound. I believe learning to sing requires team work: with the proper instruction and learning tools from me, the instructor, and with the dedication (practice, practice, practice) from you, the student, a well-rounded singer can emerge.
I began singing when I was five years old in church. I continued singing exclusively inspirational music until I was a teenager. At that time, in addition to the second soprano part I sang in a five-part harmony
a Capella (without instrumental accompaniment) Gospel group, I also sang in a couple of bands (Rhythm and Blues, and Jazz). My undergraduate studies were completed at the American University, where I majored in Communications (B.A.), and minored in Music, voice being my instrument. During my undergraduate studies, I was recruited and performed as the lead female vocalist for a Rock band that a few fellow music students had formed. While in college, I was trained in classical voice, piano, music theory, musical theater performance, and vocal pedagogy (vocal training). My vocal pedagogy studies credentialed me to become a professional vocal instructor. I began teaching voice after I earned my degree, and have been teaching private voice lessons for over ten years.
Most of my present expertise in teaching voice grew from my vocal pedagogy studies, my teaching experience which has developed over time, my own personal vocal dedication, and my training and understanding of various genres of vocal performance. My present singing career is as an inspirational singer; my vocal students encompass various genres in which I have experience, including: Inspirational, Rhythm and Blues, Jazz, Rock and Classical.
*** Lesson Details ***
I teach students by using the tried and true techniques I have found to be successful, and allow the student to be my guide as to which direction to take with his or her vocal training. Whether the student is a novice, a professional, or somewhere in between, each student, after obtaining the basic singing knowledge and techniques, will have a vocal training schedule geared to his or her individual needs and development. Lessons are for the most part very casual in nature, and the student's dedication (practice, practice, practice) will dictate whether or not the lessons become stricter. A few months into the vocal instruction, students will be given the opportunity to learn more about reading music and sight singing, if he or she so chooses, as well as vocal performance techniques for singing in front of an audience. Within one year, dedicated students may also have the opportunity to show off what they have learned, and perform in front of an audience at a recital with other vocal students. Please note that my preference is to work with teens age 13 through adults of any age. I believe that younger voices need more time to develop and stand to be damaged if too much stress is put on them too soon. However, exceptions for children under 13 may be made for gifted young singers.

Broadway Singing, Music Performance, Music Theory, Opera Voice, Piano, Singing, Speaking Voice
I hold a Master's in Voice Performance degree from University of New Orleans and Bachelor of Science degree in Voice Performance from State Music Academy, Sofia, Bulgaria.
In 2001, I toured with International European Opera Company which performed numerous times in Denmark, France, Italy and USA.
I currently perform and teach in the New Orleans area and love to share my knowledge and experience with my students. There is so much more to performance then just beautiful vocalizing.....
*** Lesson Details ***
My teaching is based on my own personal, classical training from Europe and North America. Whether it's opera, oratorio, musical theater or pop-style singing that is desired, I believe that classical technique is an essential source of proper singing that can be used to train singers of all genres.
Lessons are tailored to the student's individual goals and abilities. Music history and theory, as well as vocalization, posture, breathing, diction, tone production, and general technique are incorporated into each lesson.
In addition, the students also participate in performance master classes and recitals, learning stage presence and concert etiquette.

All of my past experiences lead into my real passion: Teaching. Whether it's conducting throughout Europe or singing as featured soloist with the Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra and Oregon Symphony, I use past experience to teach students about musical and healthy singing techniques. I am currently a Doctoral candidate at UNLV. I am excited to incorporate new instructional techniques into my teaching that I learned from conventions and coursework.
Most of all, I believe that singing should be a fun expression of yourself. It should be an outlet for creation no matter the skill or age level of the singer.
I hold a Master of Education degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas where I specialized in Secondary Vocal Music. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in Music (Vocal Performance and Choral Conducting) from Oregon State University. I am an active choral director and singer in the Las Vegas Valley and sing opera semi-professionally.
*** Lesson Details ***
Breathing is the key to singing and speaking. After a few months in my studio, a student will know how to sing healthfully and on the breath. If a student wants to focus on more popular styles like rock, pop, or country, I can instruct you on the best ways to maintain vocal health and increase the power, range and agility of your voice. If a student wants to sing in one of the major Classical languages (Italian, German, or French) I have extensive training in the pronunciation of each.
I have taught singer/songwriters how to convey their creative images. I have also taught adult singers how to contribute more of their own sound to their community or church choirs. All doors are open for a healthful singer!

I believe that everyone can sing, it is just a matter of learning how to use your unique instrument. From a very young age I was sharing my love of the arts with others as a performer. I grew up with an immense appreciation for all forms of art and found music to be the ideal way to express myself. My extensive education and performance experience has allowed me to cultivate my skills and knowledge so that I can best support each student on their own unique journey of cultivating their authentic singing voice. As a teacher I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to support students both in my studio and through online lessons, providing the positive and supportive guidance and experiences they need in order to cultivate their own musical gifts.
*** Lesson Details ***
My intention for each student is to support him or her, to the best of my ability, in finding and cultivating their voice, as well as their musical and performance abilities. As a teacher, I keep a healthy balance between professionalism and making learning fun, inspiring and experiential. I design a specific curriculum for each student based on their specific goals and intentions regarding their voice so that each lesson focuses on them and their unique needs. It is extremely important to me that students of all ages have a positive experience of music in their lives and I provide fun and encouraging performance opportunities for those students who wish to participate. I have extensive experience working with individuals who may have fear or anxiety about singing, speaking or expressing themselves to others. I am able to assist these students as they move past their fear and hesitation and truly claim their voice. They learn to cultivate and appreciate their own ability to express themselves in the world with confidence and ease. My goal is to recognize and support each student's potential, helping to give them confidence, direction and motivation on their unique musical journey.

A Note From Francesca:
My official bio is listed below, but perhaps more important than the things I have done are the things that I am doing. I am now approaching my 15th year of teaching. I love to teach! I carry a minimum of 30 students, but have carried more then 80 at one time, and have never once complained. My waiting list cycles based on my performance schedule and recording schedule. If you don't see a time that works for you, feel free to reach out and see if we can find something that works, as an artist, my schedule can be quite full but also quite flexible. I love my students, I get to do what I love all day and I am sure it shows. I have a blast discovering new ways to experience music with "my kids." I call all of my students kids even though most of my studio consists of young adults. I try to have a young air in my classes at all times as it just makes the process so much more fun for everyone.
I've seen it all in through years: kids, adults, beginners and advanced students. I am personally very interested in being the most versatile musician possible and I love being able to share my knowledge with my students. We can study anything and everything from Classical Guitar to Electric Guitar Shredding; from Opera to Kelly Clarkson; from Tchaikovsky to Little Richard! I love getting students to dabble in little bits of all genres, often getting even the most skeptical student singing and playing comfortably in a matter of just a few weeks. My students will be able to read music for their favorite tunes and understand how to improvise from the start. Once you come in, you'll be hooked. You will have fun because I am having fun!
I encourage all of my students to share their favorite music with me. It affords me the opportunity to learn more about what they desire to learn and what types of music they enjoy. We will learn with your music often. After all, isn't that why you are coming to see me? I will introduce you to new sounds and styles, but will foster your love for music, and do my best to never force my music on students. I feel I learn as much from my students when I truly listen to them and their music as they do from me.
On site lessons are available for artists recording demos, rehearsing bands and setting up their own studios.
On a side note, I love seeing students at my shows! I am a full time musician and can be seen playing with my band, in my own solo project and in various choral settings. Check out my website and see what I do outside of the classroom. My students get a kick out of the idea that they can buy a CD with their teachers face on it, and to be honest, so do I. Many of my students have their own music out on iTunes and YouTube. Many more can be seen performing around town in solo projects and professional ensembles.

Francesca on Artist Development:
I feel obligated to share my joys and experiences-
Not many people have been blessed to sing alongside as many renowned musicians as I have - I've been lucky to be welcomed in both the commercial and classical worlds and they have both afforded me venues to use my voice and express the most vital corners of my soul. To find your purpose through art is one of the greatest gifts you can receive. And to be able to do that in front of thousands of music lovers live or over the airwaves is a surreal experience.
It's funny, my classical cronies are impressed to hear my stories of packed rock gigs at the House Blues and national touring festivals like Warped Tour and my rock buddies ask to hear my stories of Disney Hall performances with the LA Phil. To be honest, I�'m impressed to be there too. Sometimes, I look around and think, how did I get here? How did I get lucky enough to live the dream, to find a home in music?
I've been luckier than most. I've had GREAT mentors who have always pushed me forward and shared their wisdom freely with me. Part of the classical musician's central goal is to educate. That's a value I carry into my rock projects and production studio. Work smarter, not harder. Take the needed skills, create art, teach others how to do the same thing, move forward together to live happier, more productive lives filled with purpose.
I have come to be known as one of the top Musical Mentors & Artist Development Experts on the west coast. A behind the scenes- diva of dream building with the skills to push artists to the next level- the ace up the sleeve of many of today working talents. In my award winning studio, I spend time coaching the young voices and faces of today hottest TV shows seen on ABC, Nickelodeon, and the Disney Channel, but I still have a soft spot for up and comers in the indie music world. Having written and performed my own music for decades, I not only lived the collegiate experience of the elite classical performer singing for presidents and world leaders, but also the dingy road of the rock musician who's showed one night to a packed stadium full of fans and showed up another, thousands of miles from home to play to a coffee shop of 5 people. Music has brought me to nearly every continent and introduced me to some of the most talented and diverse people you can imagine. I feel compelled to share these experiences with those around me so that they my develop the vision, the salt and the skills to persevere.
I am, above all, an artist & creator- living the dream, helping people- like you find their voice and write their songs. Turning raw emotion into art.
Each one of us has a story, our truth. Being an artist is about finding ourselves, our song and expressing it publicly so that we may heal, so that we may grow.
It doesn't take a ton of experience to write a hit song. It doesn't take a fancy education or a family line of talent (though it can help). We can all find our voice, our place in the spotlight, what it takes is the courage to take the next step forward.
You've already had the genius to be in the right place at the right time. Here. If you've made it this far, chances are you are smart enough, hungry enough and ready to take the plunge.
Inside my studio you will find the help you seek. I can impart you with proven techniques to strengthen your sound, develop your tone through strong technique, develop strategies to share your art and develop a plan to turn pipe dreams into reality. Some desire to sing on the worlds brightest stages, others strive to lead others through teaching themselves, and some wish for nothing more than to experience music in a confident manner among friends. All can be lead on this personal journey of the artistic soul and all can make their offering to the musical gods. There is a place at the table for anyone seeking an answer.

I have been active in the entertainment industry since the age of 12, when I gave my first professional performance. Prior to that I was already being introduced to music with years of guitar, and then vocal instruction. I do not remember a time of my life when I was not singing somewhere; in the house, in the yard, in the classroom. That is perhaps why I identify so well with the young people who gather so much enjoyment from "just singing" at every opportunity. I studied professionally for over 10 years with renown soprano and voice teacher Sylvia Jensen, who was instrumental in the enhancement of my vocal knowledge and technique. She is now the Director of Education for the Miss Ohio pageants of the Miss America competitions, elevating many young ladies to the national spotlight. At age 14, I auditioned for, and was added to cast of a network television variety program, "The Gene Carroll Show", that was a television institution for over 30 years in the Midwest. I was a featured performer on that program for over 7 years, all the while perfecting the art of "playing to a camera." This experience was invaluable, and the knowledge I gathered is now included in my curriculum. I also began performing a solo act in the nightclub circuit at the age of 15, performing up and down the "north coast" from Cleveland, OH, (my home), to Erie. PA. At a very young age, I learned the difficult art of choosing musical material and pacing a show; also adapting to performing under a myriad of conditions with a vast array of musical accompaniment. After graduating college with a degree in Business Administration and Marketing, I assembled my own band, and took to the road. That experience eventually brought the act to Las Vegas in 1982. Over the years my show has been a staple in major casino cabarets in Las Vegas, and all over Nevada. Since my first engagement at The Landmark Hotel in the early 1980's, I have literally been up and down the famed Las Vegas Strip many times over. The Desert Inn, The Dunes, The Stardust, The Maxim, The Tropicana, New York New York, Mandalay Bay, MGM, Bally's, The Flamingo, The Imperial Palace, The Four Queens, The Golden Nugget, The Fremont, The Venetian, The Palazzo, and a three year engagement at The Riviera. My show is truly comprised of musical variety; classics, show tunes, jazz, rock, blues, r&b, country. Even a presentation of "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera, that I perform in full costume. It is this ability to successfully deliver an extensive repertoire that I am enthusiastic about passing along to the next generation of entertainers.
I have been truly blessed in my career to have experienced so many highlights; too many to document. From winning an understudy roll in the Broadway Musical "Platinum" starring Hollywood actress Alexis Smith, to performing our National Anthem at events ranging from Major League Baseball to ESPN Boxing to receptions for major dignitaries, to recording 7 albums and a full-length video, to being asked to perform for Mr. Frank Sinatra at the Frank Sinatra Celebrity Golf Tournament, I have lived a full life on stage, learning and absorbing every bit of knowledge gathered along the way.
Now it is my desire to escalate my status as an educator to a more "one on one" experience; availing myself the opportunity to pass along that wealth of knowledge to individual students who aspire to enjoy the entertainment profession as I have, providing them with the skills needed to successfully compete. Or, should it be their choice not to pursue entertainment as a vocation, to gain a working understanding of all facets of their instrument so as to gain a better appreciation of music. Whatever the goal of the student, I feel that I am equipped to provide them with the tools needed to achieve that goal.
*** Lesson Details ***
Content of Sessions
Generally, the first 10-15 minutes of each lesson will be focused on vocal warm up and exercise. (For guitar students, we will review the previous
week's assignment). For Vocal Students, it is understood that the voice mechanism is made up of muscles, and as an athlete prepares for a sporting event, a singer must prepare to vocalize. It is at this time in our lesson when the student will develop good habits of voice maintenance, which will serve them well throughout their careers. The proper care and preservation of the vocal unit cannot be stressed enough, especially for pubescent and pre-pubescent students. Vocal chords in a developmental stage are most susceptible to damage, and because they are particularly sensitive, they must be handled with care. Our warm up regimen is designed to strengthen as well as preserve the singing voice.
I am not an advocate of getting too involved and "bogged down" in the technical aspects of singing, especially with the young students, and
especially early in our program. This is not to say that breath control, tonality, pitch, etc. are not vital to good singing, because these workings are ESSENTIAL, and their application will certainly be incorporated into our studies. Some instructors, on occasion, have a tendency to lose sight of the fact that much to do with singing happens "naturally", and too much focus on the "technical" can actually be inhibiting. This can alter a beautiful, natural tone into one that is unnatural and contrived.
I adhere to the philosophy that above all else, SINGERS WANT TO SING SONGS, and musicians-in-training want to play music. That is our focus, and all of our training is conceived with that objective in mind. All the technical knowledge and coaching serves no purpose without practical application. It is my belief that the most significant progress occurs when a vocalist is singing a song.
Nearly every element of instruction can be utilized in the performance of one song. This is why the majority of our session time will be spent "in song". For the very young student, we will concentrate our efforts with the students choices of favorite and familiar songs. The older students will undoubtedly have favorite songs, styles and artists. Special attention will be paid to the genre most enjoyed by the student, but diversity will be emphasized as well, and a variety of genres will be unpacked and explored. I believe that whatever a student's musical goals and aspirations, it is in their best interest to gain knowledge and insight in all facets of music, singing, and performance.
The most vital pre-requisite for any student is their enthusiasm. My ambition will be to harness that enthusiasm and channel it productively through stimulating instruction. Our sessions will be informative and educational, but always predicated upon "having fun with music".
I am proud to feature a curriculum that emphasizes the entertainment aspect of singing as well as the technical; created to benefit all ages and experience levels, from beginner to seasoned professional. After just weeks of my "Triple Threat Training" a student will begin to see astounding results: vocally, musically, and in the art of performance. I am excited to share my knowledge with you. Let's get started!
*** Studio Equipment ***
My studio is equipped with a full vocal sound system with microphones that I utilize to teach the valuable art of mic technique. Young students enjoy using the mics and hearing themselves sing and perform. Since our lessons are predicated on enjoying the art of singing, this opportunity has proven invaluable. For the advanced performer, studying all aspects of amplification and what a singer should know about their stage sound is a part of our educational curriculum. My studio is furnished with the equipment that is essential to mastering that knowledge.
Since the practical aspect of my course is based on singing songs, I provide all the latest technology required to allow my students the opportunity to sing the songs of their choosing, with and without the lead vocal tracks. I feel that when students are singing their favorite songs, it offers me the greatest teaching opportunities. I make certain the every musical genre can be represented, and feel I have the knowledge and ability to guide the student is whatever their musical tastes. My studio is also equipped with piano (for vocal exercises), and guitars, which gives me opportunity to accompany my students when the musical moment is appropriate. Be assured that all the technology I need to fulfill the educational needs of my students is but a step away!!
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- My small home is more than just small — it's where I discovered my love for design and home decor. It's the place where my dad taught me how to use a saw. My now husband proposed to me in this home. So I guess what I love about my small home is that it's, well, home.
- Three of My Best Tips and Tricks for Creating a Successful Small Space:
- 1.) Trim painted the same color as the walls does wonders for the eye in a small room. It reduces all of the visual chaos so that you can keep focused on the decor.
2.) Everything pulls double or triple duty around here. Our office is also my crafting station, my husband's studio, and our guest bedroom.
3.) Organization is so important. This is an area I'm not necessarily good at, but when I get my act together and really plan out storage, it always works in favor of a small living lifestyle.

LOVE the bathroom - that wallpaper is so cute!
I love what you've done to this space. You've got an eclectic eye when balancing colors, textures, light and shadow, old and new. I'd hire you...
What a wonderful home, filled with beauty and meaning. Great job!
emily's home is a favorite of mine- packed with style!
The wallpaper alone earns my vote for this one! :)
Lots of other great details, too, of course. Also great to see an entry from "the rest of the country," not just New York and LA. Thanks for sharing your space!
I would love to live in this house. The layout (of both the rooms and the furniture) is functional and beautiful!
Those chairs at your dining table are crazy fun! I want them!!!
Nice place you've got there!
I love your home with such a passion! A lot places here look lovely but not "me." This is totally up my alley.
This is totally up my alley, too. The guest bedroom/studio/office is my favourite; no, wait, the little dining area with the yellow velvet chairs is my favourite; or maybe the bathroom . . . love all of it. Congratulations on a beautifully done home.
Very nice indeed!
Nice tufted sofa.
The spare bedroom/office/studio combo is the BEST I've seen in this competition thus far. Think you're too modest about your ability to organise... Surprise dining chairs and wallpaper choices are delightful. Love the fearlessness.
Those kitchen chairs are EVERYTHING.
I remember the 'grey' room in a before and after as well as the bathroom. Nice to see the etire space. I agree with claireunderwear..those chairs!!
You have my vote.
I've seen this home before. I think I subscribe to her blog! Anyone remember which blog? The dark office/spare bedroom was what got me. The whole place is lovely.
I want your office rug!
the blog is gohausgo.com! I agree with everyone else, this place is awesome
the blog is gohausgo.com! I agree with everyone else, this place is awesome
we have seen parts of this before, but not the chairs. we would remember those. putting kitchy yellow velvet leaf-backed chairs against 1960's scandinavian-ish tree stark wallpaper is nice touch.
The ostrich wallpaper is hilarious! Great apartment, and, yes, it IS quite stylish!
LOVE your home! Where did you get the bedding?
You have the best floorplan drawing!
I've been following Emily at Go Haus Go for a long time, and her style is awesome! These pictures don't even reflect the total kitchen overhaul she's almost done with now, or the new hardware on the bathroom cabinets (a small, but lovely upgrade). Her whole house just makes me happy :)
Very nice! I am happy you didn't't waste you pictures on books or perfume bottles, you used them wisely and showed us rooms. You have my vote.
That bedroom ! those fabulous chairs ! That bird wall paper ! Love !
Its just beautiful, love the sofas and wallpapers. But how is 900sqf small??? My place is a little less than that and it feels big!
You have my vote for the table-chairs-wallpaper combo in the kitchen alone! (And like others I've seen some pictures of this apartment around the place before and always loved it, but this picture of the kitchen is new to me).
The gray makes everything look sophisticated, elegant, and dramatic.
who DOESN'T like an Ostrich with his/her head in the dirt? Kudos!
I love how the prints pull everything together!
Ditto those kitchen chairs. I need those in my life.
Like everyone else, THOSE CHAIRS! Also, stained glass window in the bedroom? Amazing!
Gorgeousness! Looks great as usual, Emily!
Must know wallpaper resource!
@greengelato the ostrich wallpaper is from Beware the Moon.
And thank you everyone! These comments have been so great to read. It's been a really fun couple of days.
@Tiffany D. the duvet is from Target—the Threshold brand. Not in stores now, but they pop up on eBay from time to time. The pom pom sheets are Anthropologie.
Ok I've figured out how to reply correctly now. The ostrich paper is Beware the Moon.

Sean Merold's most treasured gift this Christmas wasn't that he is a valued member of a Sacramento firm that closed a $600 million real estate deal last week the largest in California this year.
It's not even that Merold and his wife, Katie, spent their first Christmas together as newlyweds.
Merold's greatest gift is that he is alive and not fearful of dying at 32 from a debilitating kidney disease that shook him and his loved ones for most of 2012.
You could say it was a kind of miracle a match of blood, tissue, white cells and fellowship from an unexpected source.
Merold had IgA nephropathy, a disorder in which protein called IgA builds up on the kidney tissue. At their worst, Merold's kidneys were functioning at only 7 percent capacity as toxins built up in his body while he experienced horrible headaches, nausea and fatigue.
"There is a chance I might die," he said, recalling the risks if his UC Davis Medical Center doctors weren't able to find a donor for a kidney transplant. A man who played in rock bands was suddenly praying for his life as his immediate family members were ruled out as potential donors.
But you never know who might save your life one day. In Merold's case, it was Elliot Williams, a co-worker at Jones Lang Lasalle, the downtown real estate firm that had just negotiated the $600 million sale of industrial holdings owned by the late Joe Benvenuti.
Merold and Williams had gone to each other's weddings last year and were both Jesuit High School graduates, though eight years apart.
They both had Type B blood. Merold's white cells didn't reject those of Williams.
As if the two were brothers, Williams passed every test to determine if he was a match for Merold. When Williams told Merold he was ready to help, they became as close as brothers.
"I had a true moment where I had an opportunity to do something," said Williams, who drew inspiration from his father-in-law's donation of a kidney to his sister-in-law, who suffered the same affliction as Merold.
"At Jesuit, one of the key phrases is, 'Live your life to be a man for others,' " Williams said. "That came back to me and I just drew off that giving of yourself to improve someone else's life."
It wasn't any little thing. Williams was on the operating table for more than four hours while doctors removed a kidney for Merold. He is still recuperating, but feeling better every day.
And Merold? "It's a life-changing experience," he said. "It proves there are good people out there. He didn't have to do this."
That's the best part: Williams felt he did. Some talk about the Christmas spirit; he lived it. And at a firm where they closed a huge deal last week, Williams' gift trumped all by a long shot.

A new development could soon be built across from the East Chase shopping center in Montgomery.
It has been in the works for years, but often meets resistance from nearby homeowners who say they have a right to help decide what is built in their neighborhood.
"We have about a dozen or so homes...16 that actually back onto the property," says homeowner Larry Cornwell.
Cornwell's house is one of those homes--adjacent to the 14 acres of available space Aronov Realty hopes to turn into retail or office buildings.
For years different developers attempted to transform the property.
But residents like Cornwell put their foot down.
"We're not against the development. We're against the types of developments that have been proposed in the past."
The Alabama Baptist State Convention currently owns the land.
A warranty deed drafted when the organization purchased it states the Halcyon Architectural Review Board has the authority to approve or veto any developer's plans.
They have done it before.
"Drive-thru fast food in there, that would be objectionable. A high rise hotel, that had been proposed in the past, that would be objectionable," adds Cornwell.
Mr. Cornwell's property line stops at the fence behind his backyard. If the land next to his home is developed it's expected to begin 50 feet away from that line.
"We would welcome development if it were the right kind."
Aronov plans to purchase the land. Realtors say they're currently working to recruit appropriate businesses, all the while continuing communications with the neighborhood association.
One thing is for sure, "most of us have settled here with the idea this is our final home," no matter what new development moves in next door.
Aronov realtors say they are simply marketing the land to businesses right now. They hope to announce what businesses may locate there by the end of the year.
