For 33 years Ken Ullery has visited as Santa Claus to the delight of kids and parents alike.
Ken Ullery, aka the south metro Santa.
Photo: Submitted photo,
Ken Ullery of Apple Valley considers himself the south metro Santa.
For 33 years, Ullery has made house calls as Santa Claus in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan and Lakeville. "I stay in the south metro area. I don't cross the river.''
Wearing his own red suit, black fur-topped boots and expensive wig and beard of yak hair, Ullery dates the beginning of his side life as Santa back to 1980, when he was 33 and answered an ad for Santas at the Burnsville Center.
After doing that for a season and realizing how much he enjoyed it, Ullery struck out on his own.
"I got a suit and put an ad in the local community paper, and immediately I was swamped," Ullery said.
Now 60, Ullery sends cards every November to past clients, letting them know he is still at it. For $60 a visit he will play Santa by appointment wherever he is invited.
"I have delivered everything from live puppies to engagement rings,'' Ullery said. "I have been on more family Christmas cards than I can imagine.''
Some families sign him up year after year, even after the kids have reached high school and college. Some started out having him visit their children and now have him visit their grandchildren.
After a career in customer service for Health Partners, Ullery, now in semi-retirement, drives an elementary school bus for School District 196-Rosemount-Apple Valley.
What he likes most about his Santa work is "the looks on the kids faces when I walk in the door. Their eyes light up like you can't believe.''
Ullery and his wife, Janice, have three grown children, but he doesn't even try to play Santa for his four grandchildren. "They're going to spot me in a minute,'' he said. "Kids pick up everything.''
He once appeared as Santa before a nephew who, while sitting on his lap, observed: "Santa, you have a watch like my Uncle Ken.''
Hey has his appearances well organized. He asks families to fill out a form with the names of the children, where he should make his entrance, if there are gifts to be handed out, and if so, where to find them to put into his pack. He doesn't rush from house to house and he doesn't rush children to keep a schedule. "If we say 7 p.m., I say I will be there as close to the time as I can.''
Some kids have a letter to read with Santa. Some like to talk. He asks them about school and their interests. He encourages parents to take photos, because children are photogenic when delighted with Santa and not waiting in long lines and throwing temper tantrums because they are tired, he said.
The visits last 20 to 30 minutes or so. "I tell people I don't put a time limit on it. We will know when it's time to go. Once kids receive the present they are pretty much done with Santa. I make sure they all get a candy cane and make my exit.''

One of the fun things about reading fiction is imagining what the characters would look like, sound like, and act like in real life. And with the recent spike in YA-novels-turned-movies, it's not a stretch to wonder who might be cast to play some of our favorite characters. There have been some great movies recently based on YA novels, but few of them have featured diverse casts or characters. So we thought we'd give Hollywood a little help and showcase a few of our favorite movie-worthy YA novels, and how we'd cast them:
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, by Benjamin Alire Saenz
What it's about: This tender novel looks at the deep and evolving friendship between two teen boys in 1980s El Paso.
Why it should be a movie: Although it's not action-packed, the space this book gives to the quiet moments shared between Aristotle and Dante would make it a great character study. It won a Printz Award Honor and in the hands of a capable filmmaker definitely has potential to win awards on the movie side as well.
Who we'd cast:
Ari is sensitive and introspective but also big and strong, and he has a melancholy side that comes out sometimes too. We'd cast Diego Boneta as Ari.
Dante is endearing and earnest, even when he's struggling with his feelings. He can be full of angst without being angsty. We think Teen Wolf's Tyler Posey could bring to life Dante's charm.
Eleanor and Park, by Rainbow Rowell
What it's about: A story of first love that follows two teenagers in 1980s Nebraska who help each other through difficult circumstances.
Why it should be a movie: Actually, Dreamworks jumped on the movie rights early, so Eleanor and Park is headed to the big screen already. But some readers fear that in the hands of Hollywood, Eleanor and Park could change. In the book, Eleanor is overweight and Park is half Korean, two characteristics not often seen among leading men and ladies onscreen. In a Hollywood is notorious for whitewashing, casting this movie accurately would be nothing short of groundbreaking.
Who we'd cast:
So few women are allowed to appear onscreen overweight that it was really tough just to find someone who might resemble Eleanor. We thought Emma Kenney could be a good fit (though she's skinnier than Eleanor) but perhaps there's a great unknown actress out there waiting to be discovered, too.
So few Asian actors are given big parts that it wasn't easy to find a potential Park. But we think maybe Sam Tan could pull off that goth exterior and super-sweet center that make Park irresistible to Eleanor.
Killer of Enemies, by Joseph Bruchac
What it's about: In the post-apocalyptic Southwest, Apache teenager Lozen works as a monster hunter in order to keep her family safe.
Why it should be a movie: Killer of Enemies is action-packed so it could pull in a wide audience, and the fight scenes between Lozen and the genetically-engineered monsters she hunts would be incredibly fun to watch. Plus, what's the last movie you watched with a Native main character?
Who we'd cast:
If finding other casting options with hard, finding a Native actress to play Lozen was near impossible. But since Hollywood has a long history of whitewashing Native characters (Johnny Depp as Tonto, we're looking at you) it's extra-important that Lozen be played by a Native actress. We thought Amber Midthunder, who is an enrolled member of the Ft. Peck Sioux Indian Reservation, could be a good choice. But it would be nice if she weren't the only choice.
The model who posted for the front cover could be a pretty good Lozen, too:
Lozen's love interest Hussein is a musician, a sensitive listener who's a good counterpart to Lozen's stoic strength. We could see Avan Jogia balancing Lozen out pretty well.
What books are you hoping to see as movies? Who's your dream cast? Let us know in the comments!

Eleanor and Park:
Although she is British and dark haired, Sharon Rooney, My Mad Fat Diary looks the part in her flannel shirt. Never seen the show and she'd have to be able to do convincing American accent to land the role of Eleanor, but it seems like British and Aussie actors have no problem with the Yank accent.
Dennis Oh is a half Korean/half Caucasian actor who I have never seen act but he looks the part of Park.
Ki Hong Lee from Maze Runner might make a good Park.
Rebel Wilson could be a tad old, since she's 28, but she could be a good fit for Eleanor if she dyes her hair red and speaks with an American accent!
Actress Marisa Quinn is half Lipan Apache, but she might be good in the role of Lozen.

It finally feels like autumn is here and if you don't mind us saying, we've been "fall-ing" for all the diversity-related stories that have been in the news recently! Here are a few that we were especially excited to read:
Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teen who was shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating for girls' rights to education, and Indian children's right activist Kailash Satyarthi, both won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for their fight against the oppression of children and young people, and for the right of all children to education. In light of the recent violence that has broken out between India and Pakistan along the border of the disputed, mainly Muslim region of Kashmir, the Nobel Peace Prize committee said it was an "important point for a Hindu and a Muslim, an Indian and a Pakistani, to join in a common struggle for education and against extremism."
In the entertainment industry, we've been seeing more positive changes when it comes to representation and diversity in television and movies. Shonda Rhimes, creator of the popular TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, and Scandal, was featured on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter, where she talked about her success and what she's learned from previous on-set controversies. Rhimes is also executive producer of the new TV show, How to Get Away with Murder, which just recently got a full season order from ABC along with Black-ish. Sullivan & Son, a TV show that is written by and stars Steve Byrne, is also renewed for its second season. Steven Byrne is an Irish-Korean American, one of a handful of writers of color that has found success in Hollywood. The fall television programming this year has been great for diverse representation, which is a breath of fresh air considering an infographic we did on the Emmy Awards.
On the movie front, Lionsgate is teaming up with Women in Film to create a series of short films based on the Twilight franchise. According to the Geena Davis Institute on Gender and Media and USC's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, only 7% of major film directors around the world are women. Whether you're a fan of the Twilight series or not, we love the fact that an effort to get more female directors out there is a good thing!
There's no denying the fact that computer science is a popular field to get into; however, Google recently looked over their annual diversity reports and found that 70% of their workforce is male, with 61% being white. In an effort to get more women to take an interest in coding, Google announced that they were launching a new program called Made with Code that "includes a mix of coding projects, partnerships with youth organizations, and $50 million in funding Google says will help get more females involved in the field of computer science."

The latest episode of Gravity Falls, which is done in an anthology format a la The Simpsons' "Treehouse of Horror," includes an ambitious tribute to stop motion legend Ray Harryhausen (1920-2013) with actual stop motion animation that references Harryhausen films like The 7th Voyage of Sinbad and Jason and the Argonauts. Harryhausen appears in the episode as "Harry Claymore" and there are plenty of inside jokes about the animation process, as well as a stop motion gag about Gumby. The stop motion segment, "Clay Day," starts in the video below at around the 13:25-minute mark. Unfortunately, the video is cropped, but you'll get the idea: (Thanks, HarryhausenFan)

Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison Piper Kerman
Piper used to run drug money for her then-girlfriend. 4 years after she got out of the game (when the girlfriend asked her to start running drugs, too) she was arrested. They also charged her with conspiracy and was subject to harsh mandatory minimum laws, so she plead guilty to hope for leniency at sentencing. She then waited. The US wanted to try the head of the operation, but needed to extradite him and wanted Kerman to testify against him as a civilian, not a prisoner. 6 years after pleading guilty, Kerman was sentenced to 15 months in minimum security.
This memoir focuses a bit on her life before Danbury, but mostly looks at her year in prison and what she learned about herself, the institution, and the societal and political structures we have in place to keep landing people there. Kerman does not have a lot of sympathy for our drug sentencing laws--especially the prosecutorial catch-all of the conspiracy charge. She knows how lucky she was in having the resources to have good legal counsel and saw many, many, many women who did a lot less than she did go down for a lot more time.
It is pretty eye-opening to the realities of the prison system--how it sets people up to fail, how it doesn't actually fix our issues, but also the camaraderie underneath as people turn to each other to build family and support mechanisms in order to survive (mostly emotionally, though a bit physically).
One thing I appreciate about Kerman is she never denies that she did wrong. She never says she didn't deserve to go to prison. In fact, it was in prison that she finally came face-to-face with the realities of the drug trade--not the people who go down for being in it, but the addicts and the what addiction does to people, families, and communities. And she doesn't turn away from facing it and dealing with her shame and guilt (both moral and legal) head-on.
It's an easy read, written in short sections and vignettes, part personal story, part character sketches of the people and scenes around her. The pacing works really well to move it ahead quickly. That said, it would benefit from tighter editing. I think many were originally written as a series of essays, and so some characters are introduced with the exact same language multiple times while others show up out of left field with no context given.
But, let's be honest--I picked this up because I'm a fan of the show and wanted to check out the source material. So, how does the book compare? Well, book-Piper has a much better head on her shoulders than TV-Piper. She's much more aware of her privilege and also knows how to keep her head down to avoid trouble and extra time. I often want to smack TV-Piper up against the head with a clue-stick when it comes to socioeconomic issues, but not so much with book-Piper (but, book-Piper also has the benefit of hindsight). Book-Larry is also much more together than TV-Larry.
Also, not surprisingly, there is a lot less drama in the book than the show. While Piper does eventually come face-to-face with her ex-girlfriend, it's not until the end, and there are no lingering attraction issues. We also don't get a good look at many of the other women in Danbury with Piper. Some of the nicknames are the same (Pennsatucky, Big Boo, and Delicious instead of Tastee) but they don't have backstories and often the personalities we see on screen are nothing like the glimpses we see in the book. Other characters don't have names, but you see some character traits to make them recognizable (such as the Russian kitchen boss, or the strict, older bunkmate, the aging hippie who teaches yoga and the activist nun) but the stories aren't quite the same. On the reasons is in prison, you don't ask, so Kerman just didn't know the backstory of a lot of her fellow inmates.
I do recommend it to most people, but especially fans of the show. It's fascinating and a fun read that doesn't bog down, despite the repetition issues I mention above. Also, if you do watch the show, it's really interesting to see which parts are TV and which parts are actually true.

This year's Emmys had an unfortunate lack of diversity. But, never fear! Fall 2014's TV season is about to start and there are some amazing diverse offerings on the horizon.
Grey's Anatomy, Shonda Rhimes's medical drama returns for its eleventh season.
Elementary, starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu as a modern day Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson, returns.
Sleepy Hollow normalizes POC characters as leads in a fantasy-world setting, in which their POC-ness isn't an "issue" but definitely a part of who they are as characters. It tackles historical issues like slavery head-on (for example, Ichabod's reaction to Abbie being a cop), and it centers Abbie's experience as the hero of this tale.
Ultimately, it's epic and funny and fascinating—it tells a good story.
Scandal, Shonda Rhimes's political thriller, returns with Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope.
Fresh off the Boat is the first sitcom starring Asian Americans since Margaret Cho's All American Girl in 1994. There are 18.9 million Asian Americans in the US. It's time to see some positive representation!
The Minority Report with Larry Wilmore will replace Comedy Central's Colbert Report.
Black-ish, starring Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson, follows a middle-class African American family in a mostly-white neighborhood.
Selfie looks fun and funny, a fresh take on My Fair Lady, with a nicely diverse cast across the board.
Cristela, "in her sixth year at law school, is finally on the brink of landing her first big (unpaid) internship at a prestigious law firm. However, she's a lot more ambitious than her traditional Mexican-American family thinks is appropriate."
How to Get Away with Murder stars two-time Oscar nominee, Viola Davis, as "the brilliant, charismatic and seductive Professor Annalise Keating, who gets entangled with four law students from her class "How to Get Away with Murder.""
Jane the Virgin is a retelling of Venezuelan soap-opera Juana la Virgen staring Gina Rodriguez.
Survivor's Remorse, produced by LeBron James, follows Cam Calloway, a young basketball prodigy who is thrust into the limelight after getting a multi-million dollar contract with a professional team in Atlanta.
Honorable Mentions:
Galavant is about a dashing hero, determined to reclaim his reputation and his "happily ever after" from the evil King Richard. Karen David stars as Isabella. It's unclear from the previews what role Isabella will ultimately play overall, but Karen David is the top-billed woman in the cast, so we have hopes her character will be important!
Gotham, WB's new origin story on Batman and several villains, will have Jada Pinkett Smith in the role of Fish Mooney. Zabryna Guevara will star in the role of Sarah Essen.
Have we missed any? Let us know in the comments what diverse shows you're looking forward to this fall!

I'd include The Flash as an Honorable Mention. Love interest Iris West and her detective father are played by Candice Patton and Jesse L. Martin. I love that they've cast the main superhero love interest as a woman of color! Also one of Barry Allen's scientist sidekicks is played by Carlos Valdes, a seemingly up-and-coming Latino American actor!
Oh, another honorable mention! And in November, State of Affairs will feature Alfre Woodard as the female black president. (The character also happens to share my name, Constance!)
I love Sleepy Hollow (though PoC-ness is a really strange term… couldn't you have just said race?) and hope they don't hit a sophomore slump next year.
I'm really looking forward to How to Get Away with Murder. I'm also hesitantly looking forward to Fresh Off the Boat (parts look funny, but I worry about the antiblackness among other things).
Reblogged this on ConStar Studies TV and commented:
Check out Lee and Low's list of Diverse TV Shows coming this fall, both new and returning. Many of these shows are on my list (http://constarstudiestv.wordpress.com/2014/08/27/fall-2014-tv-schedule/) and I think The Flash should be considered an honorable mention due to it's racebending Iris and Joe West (Barry Allen's main love interest and her detective father). The show also feature Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon, a comic character himself.
I absolutely love that there is enough shows on TV this season to make such a list. I hope next year's lists are even longer.
I'm curious as to how you interpreted Fresh off the Boat as potentially anti-black? Was it anti-black because Eddie is called a racial slur by a black student or because Eddie's mom asks him why he wears a shirt with Notorious B.I.G. on it?
These two moments do not necessarily mark a show as anti-black. It is a little hard to tell simply from a 2 minute clip. I personally will reserve that judgement for the moment when I see the full pilot.
1. Not in the fall, I admit (I believe this returns in January), but Switched at Birth has MULTIPLE Deaf characters!! This is the first show where I've actually seen MORE THAN ONE CHARACTER AT A TIME who is "like me". And also has a few characters of color, including the birth mother of one of the girls who was switched at birth and some minor characters. Also a few minor characters who are L or G. (no B or T so far)
2. Also not in the fall, but eventually returning will be The Fosters in which one of the Moms is black and two of the adopted children are Latino. And both Moms are lesbian. And there are also some minor characters of color as well.
There is also "Stalker" premiering this fall on CBS, with lead Maggie Q. She is Vietnamese-Irish American and was also the first Asia-Am female to lead a drama in US television history with her anti-hero role as Nikita on the CW. A great, criminally underrated action show that passed the Bechdel test and then some for 4 seasons.

Stacy Whitman, Publisher of Tu Books, explains why she loves Sleepy Hollow and tells us what we need to know to jump into season 2 next week. Spoilers ahead, so beware!
I never really considered myself a fan of the original Washington Irving "Sleepy Hollow" tale. It scared me as a kid, and not in a good way.
So when I started seeing posters advertising the show last year, I shrugged, despite the fact that the show was going to star a woman of color in a lead role.
As I heard people talk about how wonderful the show was, I caught up on the first few episodes and quickly became a Sleepyhead (as we fans call ourselves), spurred on by the storytelling in the show itself and the fun that actor Orlando Jones created for us as he fangirled his own show on the Internet.
If you didn't quite get the show when it first started, we understand. We've been there. But that doesn't mean that you need to miss out on all the fun this year. Sleepy Hollow is not only one of the most diverse dramas on network TV right now, it's also one of the most fun. Come over to the dark side and become a Sleepyhead – you won't regret it!
Note: If you have Hulu Plus and a wide-open weekend, we recommend you stop reading right now and just go binge watch entire first season on Hulu Plus right now (or just the pilot, which is available to everyone). Or, if you need a TL;DR right now (stands for too long, didn't read) you can just check out this clip from Fox that will catch you up in 60 seconds:
Otherwise, read on for our highlights!
The Characters
Ichabod Crane: British, but fought with the Patriots in the Revolutionary War. During a Revolutionary War battle, Crane sees a masked Redcoat (the Horseman, we discover) coming at him. The Redcoat deals him a lethal blow, but Ichabod is able to cut off the man's head before he collapses. Several hundred years later (welcome to 2013!), Ichabod wakes up in a cave and digs himself out of his own grave.
Lt. Abbie Mills: Sheriff's Lieutenant in the quiet town of Sleepy Hollow, Abbie is preparing to leave for Quantico to join the FBI when she witnesses the murder of her Sheriff by the Headless Horseman. Skeptical by nature, a series of strange happenings convinces Abbie that there's no need to head to Quantico: there is plenty of trouble afoot right in Sleepy Hollow.
Captain Frank Irving: Abbie's boss. Captain Irving at first denies that anything supernatural is going down in Sleepy Hollow. He can't stay in denial forever, though…and may know more than he's letting on.
Andy Brooks: Abbie's coworker Andy (played by the always lovable John Cho) is killed off in the very first episode, but death can't keep him away. In subsequent episodes Brooks returns, as an agent of the Headless Horseman who, once in a while, is still able to protect Abbie.
Katrina Crane: Ichabod's dead wife is a witch and trapped in Purgatory. She's giving him visions from beyond the grave to help him figure out why he was awakened along with the Headless Horseman.
Jenny Mills: Abbie's sister. Jenny was put into a mental institution years ago after she admitted to seeing a strange demon as a teenager. She may be the only one in Sleepy Hollow who's not a little bit crazy, though.
What You Need to Know
The answers are found in Washington's Bible. This one keeps coming up, so take note.
The Headless Horseman is Death, the first Horseman of the Apocalypse. His goal is to bring about the end of the world, with as much misery and mischief along the way as possible. Ichabod and Abbie are the two witnesses spoken of in the Book of Revelation, and their job is to see the signs of and hopefully be able to prevent the return of the Four Horsemen who wish to usher in the Apocalypse.
The demon Abbie and Jenny saw as teens was the start. This event turns out to be the beginning of the end—the start of this round of machinations to end the world. Only Jenny admitted to seeing the demon (landing herself in a mental institution) and she becomes an important link between Abbie, Ichabod, and Moloch, the demon putting everything into motion.
Ichabod and the Horseman are linked. This I tell ya, brother/ Can't kill one without the other…
The Horseman is actually…Arthur. Who's Arthur? Some chump who used to be Ichabod's best friend and Katrina's former fiancé, back in the day. Katrina left him and later fell in love with Ichabod. Arthur, in his fury, agreed to become Death. The world would have ended back then had it not been for Ichabod killing him in battle. Talk about a bad end to a love triangle.
Katrina had a son by Ichabod. He didn't know it at the time of his (not permanent) death, though. That son was whisked away by Abbie's ancestors, only to end up buried alive. His name is Jeremy.
There is a way to unlink Ichabod and the Horseman. A person called a Sin Eater has the ability to literally eat someone's sin, and I honestly have no idea how this unlinks Ichabod from him, but it does.
The Sin Eater in question is Henry Parrish, who all along has seemed to be an ally in the fight against Moloch, but in the very last episode, we come to find out he's … not such a nice guy. In fact, he's Jeremy, Katrina and Ichabod's son, with a lot of power and a lot of parental resentment. He helps Ichabod and Abbie enter Purgatory to rescue Katrina, but it all goes wrong, and as Ichabod and Katrina leave Purgatory—leaving Abbie behind there—Jeremy reveals his true nature as the Horseman of War. He whisks his mother off to Moloch and buries Ichabod alive…
And now you're where we all are, two Horsemen down, and waiting for next Monday with bated breath! Join us as we live-tweet our reactions to the season 2 premiere on Monday on @leeandlow and @tubooks!

The Legend of Korra's fourth and final season, Book 4: Balance, returns this Friday! You'll be able to watch here. Trying to catch up with all three seasons in one day is a pretty tall order, but luckily the weekend will soon be here! The first three books (as seasons are called Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra) are available streaming on Nick.com.
Avatar: the Last Airbender follows Aang, the last airbender, who survived the Air Nomad genocide from the Fire Nation. Together with his friends Sokka, Katara and Zuko, Aang fights to prevent the Fire Nation from taking over the whole world, all the while mastering all four elements.
The Legend of Korra is the direct sequel to Avatar: the Last Airbender, taking place 80 years after the end of ALTA. Korra, upon discovering she was the avatar at the age of four, was placed under the direct care of the Order of the White Lotus and learned to water-, fire-, and earthbending. Korra sneaks away from the Order of the White Lotus compound to learn airbending from Tenzin, the son of Avatar Aang, in Republic City.
Important Terms
Elements: Air, Water, Earth, and Fire.
Bending: The ability to control one of the aforementioned elements, i.e. waterbending. A person who bends an element is known as a bender.
Avatar: one person who has the ability to control all four elements. The avatar is born into one of the four nations and learns to bend the four elements. The Avatar is supposed to help maintain balance between the Four Nations and the spirits.
Four Nations: Air Nomads, Fire Nation, Earth Kingdom, Water Tribe.
Team Avatar: the team of people who help and fight alongside the Avatar.
Pro-bending: a sport where benders fight each other with the elements. There are three benders per team: water, fire, and earth.
Order of the White Lotus: a formerly secret order that transcended the Four Nations to share philosophy and wisdom. Later, on the orders of Avatar Aang, they search and protect the next Avatar.
Red Lotus: a group that splintered off from the original White Lotus because they thought that the Order of the White lotus had become the bodyguards of the Avatar. They sought to free the world of its governments and have humans and spirits coexist. During Book 3, Zaheer leads them.
The Major Players
Team Avatar:
Korra: Korra is from the Northern Water Tribe. She is born when Avatar Aang, the protagonist of Avatar: The Last Airbender died. Korra can bend all four elements.
Asami Sato: The only nonbender on Team Avatar. Asami is the owner of Future Industries, a company that makes cars known as the Sato-mobile and other technology.
Mako: former street rat turned cop. Former captain of the pro-bending team the Future Industry Fire Ferrets. Mako is a firebender and both Korra and Asami's ex-boyfriend. He is Bolin's older brother.
Bolin: formerly an actor and pro-bender, he is the funny-man of Team Avatar. He is an earthbender and has the special ability to lavabend. He is Mako's younger brother.
Other important characters
Katara: Aang's wife, waterbending master and Korra's teacher.
Tenzin, Bumi, and Kya: Aang's children. Tenzin is an airbender, and Korra's airbending instructor. Kya is a waterbender. Bumi is a retired Fire Nation general who later gains the ability to airbend after Harmonic Convergence. You may refer to them as the "cloudbabies."
Pema: Tenzin's wife, a nonbender.
Jinora, Ikki, Meelo, and Rohan: Pema and Tenzin's children. All airbenders. You may refer to them as the "airbabies." Jinora is the first airbending master in a generation.
Lin Beifong: Chief of Republic City Police, metalbender. Toph Beifong's daughter.
Book 1: Air
Korra has a difficult time learning how to airbend, because she's unable to tap into the spiritual side of bending. She joins a pro-bending team known as the Fire Ferrets. An anti-bending movement known as the Equalist Movement gains in popularity. The leader, Amon, wants to get rid of bending and benders. Korra tries to balance learning to airbend, practice with the Fire Ferrets and defeating Amon. Korra finally learns to airbend, when Amon seals off all of her other bending abilities.
Book 2: Spirits
Six months after the end of Book 1, Republic City has a president who is supposed to represent the interests of benders and non-benders alike. When a spirit attacks at a festival that Korra attends, she decides to focus on learning spirit-bending instead of airbending, and her uncle Unalaq becomes her teacher. Unalaq tricks Korra into opening the spirit portals. Unalaq wants to join with a dark spirit to become the Dark Avatar and destroy the Avatar cycle. Korra learns of Won, the first Avatar. With the help of Jinora, Korra defeats Unalaq. Spirits and humans were never meant to live apart, so Korra doesn't close the Spirit Portals. The world enters a new age where spirits and humans live together.
Book 3: Change
The spirits are disrupting life in Republic City, but Korra can't get them to live peacefully with humans. When reports of people suddenly gaining the ability to airbend reach Korra, she travels with Tenzin, his family, and team Avatar to restore the Air Nomads. The Red Lotus, a criminal organization that tried to kidnap Korra when she was young, escapes from prison. The Red Lotus's leader, Zaheer, is one of the new airbenders. Zaheer and his cronies go on a quest to rid the world of its leaders and the Avatar. Zaheer kills the Earth Queen and Ba Sing Se descends into chaos.
When Zaheer threatens all the new airbenders to get to Korra, Korra risks her life to save them.
Several weeks later, we see Korra in a wheelchair getting ready to attend Jinora's airbending master ceremony. Jinora, Avatar Aang's granddaughter becomes the first airbending master in a generation. Tenzin announces that the airbenders will regain their nomadic roots
Korra returns with her parents to the Northern Water Tribe to heal.
Legend of Korra returns THIS FRIDAY.
The trailer: with Korra kicking major butt and new hair!
Watch the opening clip.
This is a clip of Kai and Opal airbending some bad guys!
I hope you're just as excited to return to Republic City as I am!

Man arrested after 10-year-old daughter's death
Updated On: Apr 07 2014 12:33:05 PM EDT
A man was arrested in Ware County on Sunday after his 10-year-old daughter was accidentally shot and killed.
Detectives said Joshua Jowers, 33, is a convicted felon and possessed several firearms in his home, according to the Ware County Sheriff's Office. He is being held in the Ware County Jail.
Taylor Jowers was shot on Friday by a older relative. Detectives said she asked to hold a 12-gauge shotgun in her home on Jana Lane. Her parents were at work at the time.
Investigators said her relative, a boy older than her but under 18, tried to make sure the shotgun wasn't loaded. During that process, the weapon discharged and hit Jowers, according to the Ware County Sheriff's Office.
The boy ran next door to call 911. He is not facing any charges at this time. Sheriff Randy Royal called the situation a "tragedy."
An autopsy on Jowers was scheduled Monday at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab in Savannah.

every character he's ever played is a) evil, b) dead by the end of the film, or c) both. Has played Satan a couple of times, most spectacularly in Ridley Scott's Legend. (And he topped even that with Pennywise the Dancing Clown in the TV miniseries It.) And it'd probably be easier to list the cartoons that he hasn't voiced a character in.His first on-screen role was that of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (carrying on from the original stage production), which rather set the tone for his later roles. He even recorded a few rock albums in the late 1970s/early 1980s in the wake of its success, and he's done more than a few musicals since, usually animated ones. He's British, which is also convenient because most of the heroes he plays against have American accents (even in movies such as The Three Musketeers, which is set in France, or FernGully, which is set in an Australian rainforest. Even the goanna in that movie managed to be from South-Central L.A.). He played Captain James Hook in the TV series Peter Pan & the Pirates, a role for which he got an award.Tim Curry has also done extensive voice work for video games; a memorable (live action) role is as Premier Anatoly Cherdenko in Red Alert 3 (pictured above), in which he once again plays a Magnificent Evil Deadpan Snarking Bastard... but strangely not a British one, though it doesn't make the role any less effective or awesome.Sports a Beard of Evil, for convenience.A little known fact is that Tim Curry was originally cast to be the Joker for Batman: The Animated Series, but was replaced by Mark Hamill. The DVD Commentary stated that Curry was too creepy (keep in mind his performance as Pennywise) and the role was threatening to damage his throat. He was also the actor chosen to play the Doctor in the 1996 TV movie, but he suggested Paul McGann for the role instead due to a scheduling conflict.He returned to the forefront for his work in The Wild Thornberrys as Nigel Thornberry (who for once is not an Evil Brit), due to the various memes surrounding the character.For his lovable villain roles, it is not surprising that he'd be considered to be the Anglo-American counterpart of Norio Wakamoto (or vice versa).

Tim Curry is known for these particular tropes:

Richard L. Clarke, DHA, FHFMA
HFMA members are only too well aware that the growing number of uninsured and underinsured patients is fueling an increase in the amount of charity care hospitals are providing. This increase has also fueled the need among various stakeholders to quantify the amount of charity care hospitals are providing.
Policymakers want to know this amount so that health policy is based on a factual understanding of the financial effect of the uninsured and underinsured.
Community groups want to know this amount so that they can determine the dimension and effects of the uninsured and underinsured in their community and determine the extent to which hospitals are providing a benefit to the community.
Rating agencies want to know this amount so they can more accurately predict the creditworthiness of the hospitals they rate.
And hospitals want to know this amount in order to demonstrate their community benefit and to facilitate accurate financial planning.
None of these stakeholders has been able to effectively use the available information about charity care because the definition, valuation, and reporting have not been consistent across hospitals. The result has been confusion over just how much charity care-and community benefit-hospitals are providing. The complexities of charity care policies and the difficult task of documenting charity care qualification have generally resulted in many charity care patients being classified as bad debt. At its root, this is an accounting issue, and any accountant will tell you that standards must be established and followed to ensure uniformity and comparability of financial information.
HFMA's Principles and Practices Board has just released a revision of its Statement 15: Valuation and Financial Statement Presentation of Charity Care and Bad Debt by Institutional Healthcare Providers. This guidance will standardize the valuation of charity care at the cost of providing services-a much more consistent and comparable approach than using list prices or charges. And providing clear disclosure of the amount of charity care-so valued-will help users of financial statements understand better the level of this type of care that is provided. The guidance also clarifies the recording and disclosure requirements for bad debt-again providing users of financial statements clear information about revenue generation.
As healthcare professionals, our ultimate goal is to serve patients and improve the health of our communities. This statement should go a long way toward helping key stakeholders to have a clear picture about the financial effect of the rising number of uninsured and underinsured. And that will help stakeholders to do a better job ensuring that health care is available to those who need it.
In financial management, the truism is that cash is king. But to understand the true financial effect of the uninsured and underinsured, consistency is king. This new statement provides just that.

Ok after playing one game of summoner's rift, these are some of the issues I have encountered while playing.
1. Connection Problem
First of all, one of our players kept on getting disconnected. It was saying he didn't have the full patch downloaded even though he said he was currently running the Mac Client on 1.22.13. I believe that is the newest patch since I was able to play the game with no problems. Second, it took a long time to get into the actually game after everyone was summoning. So let me rephrase this, our loading status said summoning, but we waited for at least 4 mins, kind of ridiculous. Everything else was fine.
2. In-Game Issues
Well the player on my team was disconnecting and reconnecting like 6 times before the client let him join into the action. He was actually playing Akali and it showed a red ring around his player icon every time he disconnected and reconnected. "Red Ring" around the icon indicates he's on the enemy team, which is weird because he is on our team. So that was my first bug that I found. Well in this current game, I was playing Galio because I currently a big fan of the caster tanks at the moment and nothing seemed to be wrong with him, but the other players were having some difficulties. Since we were playing 4v5 practically the whole game we split up as everyone solo a lane and one jungle. We did well until ganking, but here comes the second bug. We had a Teemo on our team and he was soloing mid against Morgana. Morgana uses her root ability and Teemo is far behind his minions right. The skill shot ignores the minions and roots Teemo, who happens to get killed by an Olaf who comes out of the bottom bushes in mid. I didn't see it happen, but the Teemo was making such a fuss about it the rest of the game. Thats all I have for in game issues. Its kinda hard to look for gameplay issues because your trying to help your team as well.
Thats all I have for you right now. More to come in the following games I'll play tonight.

PATCHOGUE, N.Y. (AP) — The harrowing images from New York's slice of the massive snowstorm — people stranded overnight, cars abandoned on long stretches of drift-covered highways — were slowly erased Sunday on the far reaches of Long Island, where hundreds of snowplows and heavy equipment descended on a region battered by storm again and to try to help clear the way for Monday's commute.
Plow trucks slogged through the roadways of eastern Long Island on Sunday, making pass after pass on snow-, ice- and sometimes car-clogged roads. Only about 400 customers were still without power Sunday night, down from a peak of almost 50,000 customers. And that's close to fulfilling pledges made by utility executives that nobody would be in the dark more than a day — a far cry from Superstorm Sandy, when hundreds of thousands were without power for days.
Parts of eastern Long Island were slammed with 30 inches of snow from the storm. Hundreds of cars got stuck on area roads including the Long Island Expressway, a 27-mile stretch of which was closed Sunday for snow-removal work. It was slow going, and even by early afternoon, snow was still packed on some highways.
Suffolk County Executive Steven Bellone said the goal was to have most major highways cleared down to asphalt by the end of Sunday.
More than a third of all the state's snow-removal equipment was sent to the area, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said, including more than 400 plow trucks and more than 100 snowblowers, loaders and backhoes.
"The massive amount of snow left behind effectively shut down the entire region," he said.
The expressway was shut down Sunday morning and initially was expected to re-open at 5 p.m., but authorities pushed that to 9 p.m. for the stretch between exits 57 and 73. The snow-removal trucks had to deal with not only inches and inches of snow, but a layer of ice. They also had to maneuver around abandoned cars.
On Sunrise Highway, which runs parallel to the Long Island Expressway, Dennis Lawrence, of Bellport, N.Y., had already spent 90 minutes digging out the car he had abandoned and had at least another 30-60 minutes to go. He left it there Friday after getting stuck on his way home from his job in New York City.
"The car was all over the place, it just slid over and wouldn't move," the 54-year-old elevator mechanic said. "I finally decided today to come and get it."
In addition to the snow from the storm, his car had gotten buried from snow displaced by passing plow trucks. Meanwhile, the roadway surface was still covered in inches of snow, only occasional spots of blacktop visible.
All known abandoned vehicles were searched, and no one needing medical help was found, a police spokeswoman for Suffolk County said Sunday.
The glut of stalled cars led to questions over whether officials should have closed roads, as happened in other states.
"Of course, after any storm, we'll re-examine our procedures, but it's largely Monday-morning quarterbacking" to criticize roads not being closed sooner, Bellone said.

If you're headed out for a camping trip in Washington this weekend, and wondering about the fire danger levels in the place where you'll be pitching a tent, the state Department of Natural Resources can tell you with the click of a mouse button.
It has an interactive Burn Risk map, which lists the fire danger in each of Washington's 39 counties.Click on the county where your camp site will be, and it will tell you, low to very high, the fire danger rating.
Although to be fair, there's a burn ban throughout the state until Sept. 30, so where ever you go, there are going to be restrictions against piling up logs an a flat piece of ground and holding a gigantic bonfire. Camp fires, where allowed, have to be in fire pits, and they'd prefer if you'd cook on stoves, if it's all the same to you.

"It might be worth noting that ovens vary, sometimes by quite a bit. I have also found that the pan you roast in can make a tremendous difference as well. And, as someone else pointed out, the quality of the Marsala can make or break the gravy. Doesn't have to be expensive, just not overly sweet. If you aren't sure, check it on Google.""

Do your non-technical users necessarily need to work in RDF/XML? You could e.g. provide a purpose specific XML format with an unambiguous mapping to RDF, reification and all. Personally I find that RDF/XML obscures the form of the data to such an extent that it's a just a menace before you introduce reification anyway. I haven't yet had a chance to look at it, but I think I saw some discussion of something which sounded like macro expansion in a TriX paper, which I guess might help with this sort of thing.

Boy or girl? Elusive baby ultrasound within!
|Sat, 11-03-2012 - 6:43am
Hi, I don't know if many read on here anymore =( I had my ultrasound was supposed to be the big one they perform between 17-22 weeks but her machine sucked and she is re-doing it in 2 weeks on their better machine. Dr. thought it was a boy at first then back tracked and said 50/50 she cannot tell. She snapped a picture for me though.
Any thoughts? Thanks <3
|Sat, 11-03-2012 - 8:49am
Hmmm...Katizma that's really tough. At first I thought I definitely see this as a boy but then I kinda see the 3 lines thingy going on too. That's really not a clear picture so I can tell her machinery is really dated. But your LO is ultra cute! Hope you get some answers soon as I'm clearly no help. Sorry.

Gear Review
Great all round pedal
Stephen Darcy
Member since
I picked up a set to use for BMX racing and ended up using them for XC too. They were definitely priced right and offer tons of float. The float really helped when tackling tough terrain and switch backs on the XC bike. I talked my friend into a pair of these because he just had knee surgery and the ease of entry and exit is unbeatable.

Signing: Belt in baby sign language looks like your are bringing together the two ends of a belt. You start the sign by making both hands into fists with your thumb and middle finger extended. Beginning with your hands positioned at your hips, bring the two hand around the front of your waist until the protruding fingertips touch.
Usage: Belt and other clothing signs like pants, shirt, and shoes are useful as baby gets old enough to start dressing themselves. You can start to prepare them for dressing themselves by helping them sign the words for each item of clothing as you put it on. This starts to get them familiar with each item of clothing, and makes them feel helpless when you dress them.
