—Shinnok to Quan Chi in Mortal Kombat (2011) |
Shinnok is a fictional character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. He made his debut in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero as a boss, and first became playable in Mortal Kombat 4, in which he also served as the boss and main antagonist.
[show]About ShinnokEdit
Shinnok is considered one of the most evil beings in Mortal Kombat. A vengeful and powerful fallen Elder God, Shinnok appeared in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, Mortal Kombat 4 and Mortal Kombat Gold as the main villain. He has also made an appearance in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. He is seen to be seemingly leading the side of evil.
Unlike Shao Kahn, Shinnok relies less on brute strength and fear-mongering, but more on magical powers and ancient artifacts. He is the ruler of the Netherrealm, possessing millions of years' worth of knowledge and power. He can impersonate any other beings of his choosing, as well as to transform into an immense demon. He also possesses extreme cunning, as well as the ability to manipulate events through others. For example, he had Quan Chi convince Shao Kahn to merge Earthrealm with Outworld against the Elder Gods' will. As a result, both realms were severely weakened and left vulnerable to invasion by the Netherrealm.
Shinnok demands unwavering faith and loyalty from his followers and will not hesitate to kill anyone who doubts, challenges, or even represents a potential threat to him. He may even be more brutal and heartless than Shao Kahn.
Only Shang Tsung, Delia, Shao Kahn and Quan Chi can match Shinnok's skills as a sorcerer.
Shinnok is pale, with a large red and black hood. He wears red robes with a large golden collar, with green sleeves and pants. He has large red shin guards with golden horns on them.
Shinnok's fall from grace was caused by his lust for power and more specifically, his desire to take Earthrealm for himself. At the dawn of time, when the realms were created, Shinnok desired to rule Earthrealm, and thus acquire for himself immense power. However, Shinnok couldn't enter Earthrealm without the Elder Gods being aware of his actions. To resolve this issue without directly defying the sacred rules, Shinnok created a powerful amulet, weakened the dimensional barriers, and entered Earthrealm. During the war against his fellow gods, he came into direct conflict with the thunder god Raiden.
While in the final stages of the war, Raiden was forced to choose between sacrificing Earth's indigenous races, or ceding the rule of Earthrealm to Shinnok. The Elder gods intervened, and assisted Raiden in his struggle. Raiden defeated Shinnok, and stripped him of his amulet and his status as an Elder God. Shinnok was then banished to the deepest regions of the Netherrealm. However, at the expense of Shinnok's defeat, the dimensional fibers of the worlds were severely weakened, and the Saurians - Earth's indigenous life form at the time - were nearly exterminated.
In the Netherrealm, Shinnok endured constant torture from the Netherrealm's overlord, Lucifer. Shinnok was at his mercy until he encountered a sorcerer, Quan Chi, who could travel through the realms at will. Quan Chi would aid Shinnok in overthrowing Lucifer and taking his throne, becoming ruler of the Netherrealm. As payment for Quan Chi's efforts, Shinnok endowed him with incredible powers, making him arch-sorcerer of the Netherrealm, and made him his most-trusted servant.
Shinnok began building his second army of darkness, and plotted to escape the Netherrealm once more. In order to do so however, he would need his lost sacred amulet. After centuries of searching, Quan Chi eventually discovered the amulet's whereabouts for him. It had been placed in a temple by Raiden, and guarded by four Elemental gods. Using the Lin Kuei warrior Sub-Zero (the elder), Quan Chi recovered it, but unbeknownst to Shinnok, he created a flawed replica in its place which he delivered, keeping the original for himself. In Deception, Shinnok sends Shujinko to retrieve the amulet and return it to him, claiming Quan Chi had left in a city of the Netherrealm. Once returned, Shinnok notices a "difference" in the amulet. Implicating it was Quan Chi's fake amulet returned.
His time in the Netherrealm was well spent, having built a massive army, as well as a fanatical cult of demons called the Brotherhood of the Shadow, dedicated to worshiping him. Also loyal to him was Tanya, an Edenian woman who became a traitor to her realm after she let Shinnok into the realm. He changed the Netherrealm's appearance as well, to make it look closer in appearance to Earthrealm.
Shinnok would ultimately be the catalyst for Shao Kahn's successful breach of Earthrealm. Years before, through Shang Tsung, the emperor of Outworld had bargained with Quan Chi to have Shinnok resurrect the soul of the Edenian queen Sindel upon Earthrealm, which would allow Shao Kahn to cross over to it from Outworld. In return, Shang Tsung had been the one to provide Quan Chi with the location of Shinnok's amulet. By the time Shao Kahn's forces were prepared, Sindel was resurrected, and Earthrealm was laid open. During Kahn's failed invasion, Shinnok ordered Noob Saibot to spy on these events and eventually sided with the Earthrealm warriors (Shao Kahn had also unsuccessfully attempted to invade the Netherrealm, which Shinnok had seen as a sign that the Emperor was becoming too powerful).
With the defeat of Shao Kahn and the retreat of the Outworld forces, Shinnok's Army of Darkness began its own assault on the realms. Its first target was Edenia. After successfully posing as a group of refugees, Shinnok and his highest generals, using Tanya's Edenian connections, were allowed entrance to the peaceful realm. Immediately, he seized this opportunity to bring in a full-scale invasion force, and captured Queen Sindel and Princess Kitana. After that, he began his attack against the heavens and there, he killed 3 of the 4 Elemental Gods (a weak Fujin escaped barely but was followed by demons and before the final blow by them, he was saved by Liu Kang and Kai).
Despite all these successes, the specter of doom arrived for Shinnok. The amulet he had was a fake, the real one in Quan Chi's hands. The sorcerer himself was captured by Scorpion and trapped in the Netherrealm. Raiden and his warriors defeated many of Shinnok's soldiers and the former Elder God faced Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat. Although the evil deity tried his best, he lost to the Shaolin Monk and Raiden ultimately banished Shinnok back to the Netherrealm.
In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, it is revealed that Shinnok knew Taven and his family well before the start of Taven and Daegon's quest, as Taven is at first confused as to why an Elder God would reside within the realms. He calls upon Taven for help when being attacked by Li Mei in the Netherrealm, Taven ordering her to get away from "Lord Shinnok". Shinnok lied to Taven after Li Mei was defeated, claiming that he was no longer an Elder God because he "meddled in the affairs of mortals," and that, in his weakened state, he needed Taven to help clear out his sanctuary, which has been "overrun by demons." Taven completed this task, but alas, Shinnok was revealed to have easily deceived Taven, tricking him into kombatting images he conjured up himself. Shinnok tells Taven that Daegon (whom Taven was chasing) had already departed the Netherrealm after he defeated Shinnok's Kintaro and Sheeva illusions. With Taven gone, Shinnok was revealed to be aiding Daegon; Daegon was shown to be hiding behind Shinnok's throne the whole time. Shinnok began to doubt his choice in favoring the skills of Daegon immediately afterwards, claiming that Taven defeated his illusions much faster than Daegon did, and it was Shinnok who alerted the many combatants to the prize at the top of the Pyramid of Argus, telling them that whomever obtained this power would be granted godlike power.
In his Armageddon ending, it is stated that Shinnok created a copy of himself to assist Daegon in the Battle of Armageddon, but after Daegon's apparent death, the clone defeats Blaze himself, gaining as much power as the real fallen Elder God. The actual ending has it that this clone was indeed created and sent to fight in Shinnok's stead, but did not get to veer in objective, as it was killed off shortly after successfully killing Kung Lao.
Shinnok does not appear in Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, but he is mentioned by Quan Chi to Shao Kahn, saying that Shinnok will be displeased by his failure to conquer Earthrealm.
Shinnok makes a brief cameo in the ending of Mortal Kombat (2011). Shinnok is pleased with his new plans coming to fruition thanks to the efforts of his powerful disciple Quan Chi. According to him, Shinnok himself will soon be free, and his dark forces will conquer Earthrealm and Outworld.
In Mortal Kombat X revealed where an alternative Mortal Kombat 4 timeline takes place, Shinnok was defeated by Raiden prior the comic book and the game event is set.
- Mortal Kombat 4: "Banished to the Netherrealm for crimes committed against his once fellow Elder Gods, Shinnok is freed from his confines by Quan Chi. With the aid of a traitor he is then able to take the Realm of Edenia. From there he wages a war against the Elder Gods, and awaits a chance to enact revenge against the god who banished him there - Raiden."
- Bio Kard: "Once an Elder God, Shinnok was banished to the Netherrealm when he attempted to overthrow his fellow deities. Upon his escape, he once again tried to usurp his former allies' dominion over the realms. Nothing will stand in the way of his insatiable lust for power."
Combat characteristicsEdit
Powers and abilitiesEdit
Being a fallen Elder God, Shinnok possesses immeasurable powers. The nature of his powers seem to revolve around darkness and the Netherrealm, summoning skeletal hands from the ground to grab and bind his opponents as well as pulverize them. He also possesses shape shifting powers similar to Shang Tsung. Unlike Shang Tsung, he is not required to steal souls in order to perform this feat, instead he must have to defeat them or for them to serve him (likely he defeated a large demon in an unknown time, so he can take on a larger demonic form as shown in the final level of Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero when his Sacred Amulet was stolen from him). His powers of mimicry and shape shifting are absolute, as he can mimic the abilities and powers of other combatants; the only drawback to this is that the powers he mimics must be in his jurisdiction. He is unable to mimic every power due to the fact that he doesn't have his amulet nor his staff. Despite this, he can still mimic black magic freely, although for an unknown reason he cannot copy the powers of Shang Tsung or Quan Chi. Shinnok can, with his amulet, freely traverse the realms and open up portals.
Related to his mimicking abilities, Shinnok is capable of creating clones or physical illusions of other warriors with their powers and abilities intact. His magic abilities also include the ability of creating demons and wraiths to do his bidding. He even created a clone of himself to aid Daegon in the Battle of Armageddon.
With his amulet, he regains all his immense power befitting a fallen Elder God.
Signature movesEdit
- Mimicry: Shinnok has the ability to replicate any character's moves, much like Shang Tsung. (MK4, MKG)
- Spear: Only in the Gameboy version of MK4. Shinnok shoots a kunai attached to a rope that drags the foe towards him, setting them for a free hit. (MK4)
- Charge: In the Gameboy version of MK4, Shinnok charges at the opponent with his shoulder. (MK4)
- Amulet Fireball: During the final battle against the elder Sub-Zero, Shinnok sends a fireball from his amulet. (MKM:SZ)
- Shield: Another special move used against the elder Sub-Zero. Shinnok uses his amulet to create a protector shield. (MKM:SZ)
- Summoned Fiend: Using his magical powers, Shinnok summons a large skeletal hand to grab and throw his opponent. (MK:A)
- Tricky Portal: Shinnok creates a portal behind him, then attacks his opponent's back using his elbow. (MK:A)
- Judgment Fist: Shinnok summons a violet streaking skeleton fist out of his hands. (MK:A)
- The Hand From Hell: Shinnok disappears in a puff of flame, then a portal opens on the ground near the victim. A giant skeletal hand emerges from the portal and grabs the victim, slowly squeezing until their head pops off from the pressure. As the portal closes, the hand pulls back into the portal, taking the headless body with it, but leaving the head. Shinnok reappears. (MK4, MKG)
- Two Hand Clap: Shinnok levitates his victim high in the air, then disappears. A giant portal appears under the victim, and two skeletal hands emerge on either side of him/her. The victim wails briefly before the two hands brutally clap on the victim. They then retreat into the portal, revealing bloody messes of flesh and bone on the inside of the palms as they do so. Shinnok reappears over the still-open portal. (MK4, MKG)
- Mortal Kombat 4: (Non-Canonical)
- Shinnok: (holding Raiden aloft in a magical whirlwind) For millions of years, I suffered in the bowels of the Netherrealm! YOU, Thunder God, are responsible for my suffering! Now the piteous mortals of Earth will pay for my grievance!
- Raiden: You turned against your fellow Elder Gods! You betrayed your title! You deserve much worse.
- Shinnok: But it's too late, Raiden! I win! With the Elder Gods out of the way, I will take my rightful place as ruler of all eternity! I can already feel the power, surging from within!!
- Raiden: You're mad!!!
- Shinnok: Farewell, Thunder God!! (laughs, then starts blasting lightning at Raiden until he explodes)
- Shinnok: (holding Raiden aloft in a magical whirlwind) For millions of years, I suffered in the bowels of the Netherrealm! YOU, Thunder God, are responsible for my suffering! Now the piteous mortals of Earth will pay for my grievance!
- Armageddon: (Semi-Canonical) "Shinnok had anticipated the elimination of all the kombatants present at the final battle. He sent his doppelganger to aid Daegon in defeating Blaze. But with Daegon's unexplained disappearance, the false Shinnok defeated the firespawn. The power of Blaze breathed life into him, making him as powerful as the real fallen Elder God. Shinnok must now face himself if he is to rule supreme."
Movie appearanceEdit
The evil Elder God Shinnok is portrayed by Reiner Schöne in the second Mortal Kombat movie, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, And according to Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Shinnok is the father of Raiden and Shao Kahn, who wishes for power not only over all realms, but over the gods as well. Shinnok is also never without his Sacred Amulet (Amulet of Shinnok) which in its alternate version, is made of gold with a ruby gem instead of bronze with an emerald gem.
He favors Shao Kahn, considering Raiden too weak and caring to be his son. Shinnok orders Shao Kahn to kill his brother while guiding him in his path to merging the parallel universes of Earth and Outworld. Shinnok is later imprisoned by his fellow Elder Gods and Raiden was offered his position in their ranks.

- Banished to the Netherrealm by Raiden.
- His amulet was stolen by the elder Sub-Zero.
- Aided by Quan Chi to escape from the Netherrealm.
- Killed 3 of the 4 Element Gods (Water God, Earth God and Fire God).
- Fought Raiden in the Heavens.
- Defeated by Liu Kang and banished back into the Netherrealm.
- Created a clone of himself and sent it to travel the realms.
- The clone was attacked by Johnny Cage before Armageddon.
- Lied to Daegon that his parents were aiding Taven in his quest.
- Created clones of Li Mei, Havik, Sheeva and Kintaro to test Taven's strength.
- His clone joined the Forces of Darkness in the final battle in Armageddon.
- The clone attacked Raiden and Kung Lao during Armageddon.
- The real Shinnok was one of 5 survivors of Armageddon (alongside Shao Kahn, Taven, Daegon and the spirit of Liu Kang.)
Alternate TimelineEdit
- Friend of Argus's Family.
- Committed crimes against his fellow Elder Gods.
- Banished to the Netherrealm by Raiden.
- His amulet was stolen by the elder Sub-Zero.
- Aided Quan Chi in tricking Shao Kahn and the Elder Gods.
- Father of Shao Kahn and Raiden.
- Banished by his fellow Elder Gods after Liu Kang defeated Shao Kahn in MK: Annihilation.
Stage RelationshipsEdit
- Pyramid of Shinnok: Shinnok's pyramidal temple. It is heavily guarded by the Brotherhood of Shadow. It is also where the original Sub-Zero (Noob Saibot) battled Quan Chi with Sareena's help before she died at the hands of Shinnok as he soon faced him before escaping the Netherrealm. (MK Mythologies: Sub-Zero)
- Fire Well: Shinnok was defeated by Liu Kang and sent back to the Netherrealm. (MK4)
- Netherrealm Cliffs: The hostile terrain of the Netherrealm. This was where Taven and Shinnok met again after many years, pretending to have been attacked by a clone of Li Mei. (MK:A)
- Shinnok's Spire: Many floors of Shinnok's tower are filled with hellspawn and deathtraps for the purpose of either testing the strength of promising warriors or hoping they will meet their demise. And the Spire is still both his sanctuary and his temple, revered as sacred by the Brotherhood of Shadows. (MK:A)
- Shinnok's Throne Room: The highest floor of Shinnok's tower. This floor is where Shinnok's throne is located, it also serves as an altar where the Brotherhood of Shadow comes to worship him. (MK:A)
- Shinnok is heavily implied to have the ability to change his shape much like Shang Tsung. However, because of limitations, Shinnok was stuck with only able to mimic fighting styles and voices only, despite there being a Randper Kombat code that randomly transforms the player's characters in both model and moveset. However, he does have the ability to morph himself into a demonic shape if his amulet was removed from him in Mortal Kombat Mythologies.
- If "Big Head Mode" is activated in Mortal Kombat 4, the hands in Shinnok's fatalities will roughly double in size. Oddly, in the Two Hand Clap, the hands will fail to retract entirely into the portal, offering an excellent view of the bloody gunk on them.
- Shinnok is loosely based on Journey to the West's demon Yan Wang. Such an appearance may have inspired his incarnation in the movie.
- In Shinnok's bio Kard made for Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Ed Boon admitted that making Shinnok the final boss of Mortal Kombat 4 was a poor decision.
- Shinnok's little-known "backstory" concerning his overthrowing of the Netherrealm from Lucifer's hand is mentioned in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero's instruction manual, as well as MK:Deception's Konquest mode, where Shinnok makes a cameo (his voice here seems to be the same that he had in MK4). However, there is no other information about Shinnok's battle with Lucifer.
- So far, Shinnok is the first boss character to be playable without the aid of a cheat code or third-party cheat device upon his first appearance (every other boss character was playable either through these devices, or not at all). Since MK4, Quan Chi and Shang Tsung have also appeared as playable boss characters in the game Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance.
- Although seen in the Armageddon's character roster as wearing a sorcerer's robe, Shinnok is seen in the in-game screenshots as wearing a similar attire to his costume in Mortal Kombat 4.
- In promotional pictures of Mortal Kombat 4, Shinnok is shown to have a staff on which his amulet is housed, although he never actually uses it in the game. He does appear to use it as his weapon stance in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, though it's unclear how he regained the amulet from Onaga. It is likely that Shinnok sent one of his enforcers to retrieve it after the Dragon King's defeat.
- Shinnok's MK4 face model is based on Midway developer Steve Beran. Steve also voiced Shinnok for MK4 and Gold.
- In Armageddon, Sektor says "Initiate code K-0-N-N-1-H-5", which spells "5H1NNOK" backwards, though there is no relation between Sektor and Shinnok except their alignment.
- But according to Sonya Blade's MKA Bio, Sektor has connections with hostile entities outside Earthrealm (Shinnok) and the Fallen Elder God began to reunite the Forces of Darkness for the Battle of Armageddon.
- In early versions of MK: Armageddon, Pao Chui was supposed to be his unarmed fighting style.
- Shinnok makes an appearance in Konquest Mode in Mortal Kombat: Deception, where he asks Shujinko to find his amulet. The amulet Shujinko finds is, in fact, the fake amulet Quan Chi created.
- There is a mistake in Shinnok's Bio. It says that Shinnok's Place of Origin is Netherrealm instead of the Heavens, the Netherrealm being the place where he currently resides.
- The real Shinnok along with Shao Kahn, Taven, Daegon and Liu Kang (spirit) survived the Battle of Armageddon; the one killed was his clone.
- In the opening cutscene of the MK 2011 Story Mode, Kung Lao is seen with the skeletal hands of Shinnok's clone wrapped around him. This leads many to believe that Shinnok's clone killed Kung Lao.
- It is possible to Kill Shinnok's Demonic form should Sub-Zero have enough urns.

The magic wallet has been done before, but I decided to make one, dirt cheap. This should last a while, and if it gets destroyed, just take another fifteen minutes and make another one. The story behind it... Well, I was watching QVC, and I saw that they were selling "magic wallets" for 20 dollars for a set of two. I thought, OMG, who in their right mind would pay that much for something that they can make with stuff around their house?? A Tutorial: Fabulous Ric Rac Flowers » Matilda Jane Clothing Rocks.

I'm constantly struggling to master rudimentary hair and makeup techniques, and my one-time foray into the "subtle" art of perfume left everyone in the room with burning nostrils.

Step One: Cut a piece of felt 3 3/4"W x 4 3/4"L and two triangles for the sides.
Mine was 3 1/2" at it widest and 1 1/2" deep Step Two: pin the triangle in place and stitch triangle to the square (see picture) I used a blanket stitch but any stitch you want will be fine Step Three: separate your Altoid's tin into two pieces, this will make it easier to paint. Once separated, paint on a coat of primer and let dry according to manufacturers instructions. Altoids Pincushion Tin.

The challenge is to use the materials you receive to make things for your partner and then return the finished items back to your swap partner.

Saving Small Grain Seed
July 29, 2008 in Uncategorized
With the high cost of seed, farmers are saving wheat, barley, and other small grain crops such as rye and oats for replanting. The following are some considerations in saving small grain seed.
Those farmers interested in saving wheat or other small grain seed for fall planting should have that seed conditioned prior to summer storage and fall planting. Several seed companies in the area can condition the seed for you. Seed conditioning involves cleaning, removal of low weight seed, treating with insecticides and fungicides, and then bagging (small bags or large bulk bags).
One of the main challenges to saving wheat seed is preventing insect damage. By treating seed you can reduce this risk and preserve seed quality.
You should also have the seed tested for germination once it has been conditioned. The Delaware Department of Agriculture Seed Lab will do this for free.
Farmers are allowed to plant back their own acreage with seed protected by the Federal Plant Variety Protection Act (PVPA). But the PVPA does prevent a farmer from selling protected seed.
A separate rule applies to seed that is patented by a private company. Currently Pioneer does patent several of its wheat varieties. Pioneer reserves the right to prohibit a farmer from replanting its seed which has a patent. This is enforceable by Pioneer exclusively and you should check to see if that seed has a patent before saving seed.

Ferré says that's exactly what he wants to do. He doesn't intend to dwell on his private life or divulge any more details about his livelihood. And he won't identify the individuals with whom he does business. "All of it is legal and carefully thought through," he says. "I learned my father's lesson. As far as conflicts of interest, I don't have any and won't have any."
The Culmer-Overtown Neighborhood Center is a boxy, concrete building at 1600 NW Third Ave., just north of downtown in the heart of Overtown. Paint is chipping from its walls. Sixty or so neighborhood residents have gathered here on a Saturday morning eager to listen to a promised lively mayoral debate. But it will be neither lively nor a debate. Only four of the eight candidates bothered to show: Ferré, Xavier Suarez, Emiliano Antunez, and Danny Couch. Instead of engaging his fellow candidates, each man makes a speech.
When it's Ferré's turn, he locks his brown eyes on the crowd. "The city needs a mayor who will represent it with dignity!" he nearly shouts. "This city needs a mayor who will not embarrass it!"
Punching the air with his fist, he continues: "When I was mayor, it was a progressive city." Fist. "We had $38 million in the bank." Fist. "We had more minority directors in city departments than we have ever had before or ever since." Fist with emphasizing thumb.
The crowd is quiet. Only a few random claps.
When the four candidates finish, the forum opens to questions. An elderly black woman in the back of the room asks when any of the men, if elected, would install air conditioning in this public building. Looking slightly annoyed, Ferré explains that the building isn't owned by the city, but he'd do what he could. Each candidate gives her a perfunctory "I'll do my best" response. But none of them capitalizes on the larger significance of such a question.
"We need someone to pay attention to our neighborhoods," explains prominent black attorney H.T. Smith. "We see how Brickell looks and we see how Overtown and other black sections still look."
Because six of the mayoral contenders are Cuban, that community's influential vote, often concentrated enough to boost a candidate to victory without a runoff election, will be diluted. Which means the city's black voters (31,000 out of 133,000 total registered voters) will play a critical role in determining which candidates make it to a runoff. Attorney Smith assures that the city's black community will flock to the polls in record numbers. "We'll prove that the presidential election wasn't an aberration," he says, referring to last year's unprecedented high black voter turnout, locally and statewide. "And people want to pass the [police] citizen-review panel referendum. They'll vote for mayor while they're doing that."
So candidates, Smith warns, had better come up with fresh approaches. "The day when they could waltz in with a fried-chicken dinner, put money in someone's pocket, and expect votes is over," Smith says. "They'd just be whistling Dixie, and we're tired of that song. Ferré has to show us not what he did then, but what he's going to do now."
Ferré's platform relies heavily on changes in education, crime, and economic development, the last of which includes relocating to Miami from Washington, D.C., the Inter-American Development Bank, the hemisphere's largest and oldest Latin-American fiduciary. Ferré says he's tossing the idea around with bank president and friend Enrique V. Iglesias. "If it moved here," he says, "Miami would then indeed become the capital of Latin America."
Adding another bank to Brickell Avenue would seem to be vintage Ferré. But the candidate says he's ready to roll up his sleeves and concentrate on improving neighborhoods, ready to become the proverbial pothole mayor. "Miami's population has grown proportionately poorer," Ferré notes. "It's not white flight; it's middle-class flight that's a problem. The city is an entry point for Third World people and exiles. They do well and they move out of the city to Kendall or somewhere because housing is cheaper. We have to sponsor equal growth in the inner city so that people want to stay."
High crime also drives people out of the city, he acknowledges. "Close to 50 percent of kids in schools within the city live in poverty," he says. "It's clear from all the stats I've examined that crime in the city is committed by young, uneducated men. Once I decrease crime, education follows, and employment increases."
Ferré would like to found an educational program in Miami similar to Pennsylvania's Glen Mills Schools, the nation's oldest high school for court-referred teenage boys. The year-round curriculum concentrates on vocational education and post-graduate employment. Grants, loans, and scholarships are offered to those who show the desire and ability to straighten out their lives.
Among other specifics Ferré considers part of his campaign platform: Turning the Miami River into a tourist attraction dotted with outdoor cafés similar to Lincoln Road, building a new science museum in the downtown area, and cashing in on what he says is ten billion dollars in federal funds to build a citywide trolley system that would decrease traffic congestion.

"in a moment,
in the distance,
the answers
to all the questions of the world
whisper softly in your ear,
and all your pain is drained
as you fly home"
Answers are something that have eluded me lately... From the ever popular, "what is my purpose in life?" to the less asked and more profound, "what is my purpose in death?" Human nature urges us to find answers to such questions, and we try desperately to do so, looking to philosophers and religion. Yet, despite our efforts, we always come up empty handed. We may latch onto ideas, or beliefs, but never are we able to confirm a concrete answer without it begging even more questions.
As a young gay man, I am faced with even more questions. I wonder why God made me gay, if God made me gay, and what being gay means. These questions surface in a variety of ways, but more often than not are the result of the confusion of others. It is very easy for people to bring questions and doubts into our minds. A simple question like, "are you sure?" can leave an impressionable person in a state of confusion for weeks, as they try to find a suitable answer.
As a minority, we will always be faced with questions from those who don't understand. We must embrace the questions posed. The answers can open eyes, touch hearts, and create allies. We must not let ourselves get wrapped up in the questions that can't be answered.
Lately I have been asking lots of unanswerable questions. This past month, my great-aunt Jennie passed away of cancer. She was an amazing woman who always had a smile on her face, as well as in her heart. Jennie was love embodied, and lived each day looking only at the silver linings, ignoring the clouds in her path. Even in the hospital, Jennie was a jovial spirit, who loved hugs, and laughter. Even when her body had betrayed her to the point of a coma, Jennie heard our voices, and would raise her hands, as if to say, "come and hug me!" She was an angel, in every sense of the word. She filled our lives with simple lessons. She taught us that love was invaluable, and was the only emotion worth sharing. She taught us the language of laughter, and that smiles were God's most beautiful creations.
At Jennie's funeral, I asked myself why she had to die. I asked myself why God would take her away from me. I asked a lot of unanswerable questions. One night as I sat down at my desk, remembering all the good times we shared, the tears rolling down my face, I wrote the following lines.
"in a moment,
in the distance,
the answers
to all the questions of the world
whisper softly in your ear,
and all your pain is drained
as you fly home"
And so, I dedicate this column to Jennie, who gave me so many wonderful memories to tide me over, until I get to see her again. For all the smiles we shared, and for all the laughter that will echo in my mind. Jennie answered questions like, "what is important in life?" without saying a word. Her life serves as an example for us. May we focus less on the clouds, while wrapping ourselves in silver linings. May we smile more, laugh louder, and love without question, expecting no answers.
May God bless you in all you do.
I believe in you!

CMHC, Hill Health Team Up

Posted to: Health, The Hill
A big barrier for people with behavioral problems disappeared Monday as the Connecticut Mental Health Center opened up a "wellness center" to treat the primary health needs of its patients, all under the same roof.
In other words, people coming to CMHC for help with mental illness will now have a clinic at the same place for help with other kinds of health problmes.
Nobody at the festive occasion quoted Juvenal or high school Latin, but the new facility is a fulfillment of his charge: mens sana in corpore sano: Have a sound mind in a sound body.
That can happen with the new center, because all patients have to do now is walk across the hall.
The new "center" is in fact a modest suite of doctors' offices and examining rooms that CMHC has provided for the Cornell Scott Hill Health Center. Hill Health is opening the satellite branch to treat those folks already patients at CMHC but who might have no primary care physician and or need help managing conditions like hypertension and diabetes.
That's a lot of people.
Up to 1,500, or a third, of the mental health patients whom CMHC sees annually do not have a primary physician to help them care for their bodies, according to CMHC CEO Michael Sernyak.
That's what prompted CHMC to apply successfully for a $1.6 million four-year federal grant to pay for the program.
Sernyak presided over ribbon-cutting festivities Monday that drew a happy throng of clients, staffers, and state officials including Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman to CMHC.
Cynthia Ferrari and Serena Spruill are two CMHC patients who already have physical health services from other city providers. But many of their patient colleagues at CMHC do not.
"I know people who use the ER [emergency room] and wait till something is wrong. People are waiting. They're suffering," Spruill said as she prepared to cut the blue ribbon with the obligatory golden scissors and a big smile.
The doctor will now be in and waiting across the hall. A question remains: Will the patients come?
That was the perspective offered by Michael Taylor, the interim CEO at Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center, CMHC's partner in the innovative project.
Hill Health will staff the new clinic with under CMHC staff supervision In effect, Hill Health now has 1,500 new potential patients, "assuming we can induce them to come to us for care now that we're in the building," said Taylor.
Sernyak thinks it will work.
He called the new arrangement the realization of one of the fundamental goals of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare): creating true "medical homes," central places where people can get all different kinds of coordinated health care.
"Everyone who comes to CMHC will have primary care," he said.
The clinic will include "health navigators" and evaluators, making the project potentially a template for other states , he said.
The "navigators," who well might be people like Ferrari and Spruill who know the ropes at CMHC already, may go with fellow patients to visit the new [physical care] docs across the hall. They will explain the medication, the choices.
Under stressful doctor-visiting conditions, even people without behavioral problems may remember only parts of a medical consultation, Sernyak said.
State Commissioner of Mental Health & Addiction Services Patricia Rehmer said that people who deal with mental health illness without also getting primary health care tend to die at an earlier age.
She called the pilot project "very exciting."
Then she added, "I can't believe you brought it in on time and under budget!"

I give the tour itself a '5' but it took me 3 attempts to book it initially as the first two people I made contact with weren't all that helpful! Glad I persevered though but it will make me consider other tour operators in the future as I've had better asisstance in the past.

ANTHEM, Ariz. -- So how do we know more than 5 inches of rain fell in Anthem? Well, because of Jim Manley and a rain gauge, which is part of the Cocorah System.
That's a network of thousands of volunteers around the country that make daily weather observations.
So while rain was soaking streets outside, Manley could see his rain gauge filling up very quickly.
We noticed something interesting about his rain gauge. It only goes up to an inch. But since we got more than an inch of rain during that July storm, how does that work?
Manley told us that the inner tube measure 1/100ths of an inch up to 1 inch. And at that point, it spills over from the inner tube and starts filling the outer tube.
So all that rain ended up putting a lot of water in Manley's rain gauge. It was an observation confirmed by WeatherBug equipment at a nearby Anthem school.

Words From the Well!
Peggie C. Bohanon
A special "Hats Off" to all Moms on Mother's Day Weekend!
A Hurting Word...Remember when HATS were in high style? Beautiful, wide-brimmed hats; flower-trimmed hats, veil-attached hats, even the Jackie Kennedy pillbox hat! You weren't dressed for church without one! Probably the funniest hat story I remember, though, is when our two-year-old turned his training-potty upside down (empty, thankfully...grin..), placed it on his head, and toddled down the hallway, saying, "H-h-hat, H-h-hat!" He's 16 now, and would love to know Mom is telling this story!
Hats are gorgeous, classy...and sometimes just plain funny! But *sometimes* the hats aren't really hats at all--they serve as titles for our many jobs...how many *hats* do you wear? I have a hatrack full--wife, mom, webmaster, writer, homemaker, church leader...and don't forget mom's taxi cap...While YOU make your own hatrack list, I will design a cool, automated, hat-changing machine...patent it, and send you one, free of charge! Sure..now when would I have time to do THAT!!
What to do? Take your mom hat off and go on strike? (Maybe we should try it, temporarily!) Take your spouse hat off and run away? (And you'd be a hatless, hate-filled spouse, left out in the cold!) Put one hat on top of another? (I once knew a dear, senile old man who actually did that, until a caring, college kid saw it. He tactfully helped him remove one of the hats.) Time to stop talking--all these hats are starting to get a bit tipsy...and now you wouldn't want me a bit tipsy, would you...grin....You can laugh with me, 'cause I know you have the same problems I do--perhaps a different set of hats, but you got them too. And now, hush...I hear the Lord calling...."Hats off! Lay them at My feet!" That's exactly what I need to do...how about you?
A Helping Word...or Two!
"Lord, You really want me to take all these hats OFF? How? When? Where? Why? I'm too busy....(as I recite today's schedule)...Lord, YOU know how busy I am..."Come sit with me!
I want to commune with you!
He tenderly calls again, "My child, I KNOW...but it will be worth your time! "God, forgive me--help me take time to stop in the mad rush of my day to really commune with you. Early, midday, late--You're always there. And I know there is strength in the power of your presence--I've been there. I know there is peace in the stillness of your presence--I've been there. Help me, Lord--here I come again, needing YOU, needing Your touch, needing Your grace!"
Come sit with me!""Help me, Lord. I really do want to commune with you...
You are my life and source of strength.
And if You have the time--so WILL I!"
"...Their strength is to sit still (Isaiah 30:7 KJV)."
Come share with me!
I want to communicate with you!"Lord, you really want to talk with ME? About what? When? Where? Why? I'm so busy with all this e-mail, and there's speaking, writing...and telling my spouse how to do things the right way, and lecturing my kids how NOT to do things the wrong way...and...Lord, YOU know--I'm very busy talking to everyone else..."
He softly calls again, "My child, I KNOW...but it will be worth your time!
Communicate with ME!""Help me, Lord! I really do want to talk to you--
And if You have the time--so WILL I!"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." (Philippians 4:6 KJV)
Come walk with me!
I want to counsel with you!"Lord, you really want to COUNSEL with me? About my home? my family? my job? my friends? my church? my world? I cherish your precious Word--the Bible is my favorite Book. But Lord, must I take time for a PERSONAL word from you? Is it possible for you to speak deep within my heart? Can I hear words of guidance for my life? Can your Word come alive to my heart? Sounds wonderful, but that would take time...I'm busy, Lord..."
He gently calls again, "My child, I KNOW...but it will be worth your time!
Counsel with me!""Help me, Lord, I really do want to walk with you--
there's so much counsel I need...
And if You have the time--so WILL I!""...thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left (Isaiah 30:21 KJV)."It's all a matter of the WILL--a choice we make to take time with Him. God knows the many hats we wear, but He also knows we need HIM. And HE will help us--maybe He will lighten the weight; maybe He will remove an unnecessary hat or two; maybe He will help us learn to focus on ONE HAT AT A TIME--now THAT may be the secret.....OK what IS the secret? I really believe it is choosing daily to lay ALL the hats down at His feet...hats off to the King of our lives...to the Ruler of our hearts and homes...to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Then let Him rearrange them, focus them, stack or unstack them--however HE chooses--and we WILL make it. HE, the Divine HATMAKER, who gave us these responsibilities, callings, and ministries, will be in total charge--now that's exactly what I need, how about you?
And that's just a thought or two--from my HATRACK to yours! His Healing Words
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12:1,2 KJV).""Lord, the hats are heavy, and I'm trying to wear them all at once. I can't! Please, Lord--I lay them all at your feet. Take them, put them into proper order and perspective; show me how to wear them rightly, to walk in Your Will. And most of all, help me take time to sit with you, to share with you, and to walk in your ways. I love You and I NEED you in this, my very busy life. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

I really love this ring. I have small and short fingers so this band is the perfect width. It doesn't overpower my hand. :)) The ring looks great. It's beautiful.
My fiancee was looking for a wedding band, but with our student budget, she felt that we could only afford a plain white gold band. I really wanted to get her something with a little more sparkle. We were very surprised at how much we like this band. I would describe the sparkle as more of a shimmer, but as other reviewers have said, it has a suprising amount of shine to it. Please be aware that the ring is of a very thin width and that the picture shown is extremely magnified. In person, the pave diamonds are hard to see individually up close (they look more like flecks of diamond) but from farther way the effect is one of a surprising amount of overall sparkle. We actually loved how unique it was -- my fiancee actually isn't a fan of the channel set wedding bands that are really popular right now. To shoppers considering this band -- if you're looking for a ring where you can see the individual diamonds, this is definitely not it...but it's a great if you're looking for something to add a little bit of "bling" in a delicate manner.
this is a very nice ring - sparkles and is dainty for those of us with smaller hands. the diamons are much smaller than the site shows and get lost on the ring - even looking up close I have a hard time telling where a diamond starts and the setting ends. the ring sizer provided online is finicky too - my boyfriend bought me a 9 because that's where the ring sizer is comfortable but I knew that sounded off and the ring is way too big so we'll be retuning it. If the light isn't hitting the ring right to make it sparkle it looks kind of dull and gray, but with low-quality diamonds you can't expect much. all in all this is a nice ring that (once I have the right size) will hold me over until I get THE ring!
Love the ring. Looks much more epensive that it was. Actually is a nice sturdy, white gold that is lovely. Diamonds sparkle.
My husband gave me this ring and I simply adore it. I fell in love with the ring when I opened the box. It's really a simple design but looks so nice. Great pick sweety.
I get constantly complimented and everybody ask me where I bought this beautiful piece. Delivery was fast.
Ok so i got this ring in the mail i was so excited to get it then i see on the band its 10k white gold and it is suppose to be 14k white gold it looked cloudy when i saw it and this was obviously either the wrong ring and it was falsely advertized. im so upset because i was looking forward to this ring and checked everyday of when it would come in. im so sad and cant wait to get my money back, never again will i order from this site again,
This is a beautiful ring, really shiny and all, but not what i was looking for. It was a bit too soft for my engagement ring.
It matched perfectly with a platnum pave wedding ring. I bought this to replace a plain platinum 2mm wedding band, that had to be cut off. We lost the plantinum band and needed a quick fix. This is better than a quick fix. This is a permenent addition to the wedding ring. Now it looks like a complete set.. The stones were all matching color, well set. None of them looked cloudy or cheep, pave settings can sometimes look that way if the quality of the diamonds are substandard. My wife was very pleased with my purchase. Thank you!
I was looking for a ring to work with my existing engagement/wedding ring but it needed to be a low profile with very small diamonds. This ring fits the bill so well that I ended up buying a second one to wear on the outside of my original ring. The diamonds though small sparkle and the ring overall was well worth what I felt was a very reasonable price.

The Hunting Party
The Bush Administration's insincere hunt for Osama Bin Laden is the metaphorical subtext of this vaguely accomplished high-concept satirical mishmash from writer/director Richard Shepard ("The Matador"). Washed up TV news reporter Simon Hunt (Richard Gere) reunites with his old war journalist cameraman buddy Dick (Terrence Howard) in the dirt roads of Sarajevo and convinces Duck to join him in running down a hot tip bring in Bosnia's most wanted war criminal "The Fox." The duo let neophyte reporter Benjamin (Jesse Eisenberg) come along for the ride that squares them in the sights of underworld killers mistaking them for a CIA hit squad. Things go from bad to weird when the real CIA arrives to put matters to rest. "The Hunting Party" is a would-be political satire that paints itself into a corner before leaving a trail of unsightly footprints.

Anon2913- I agree that one must not violate terms of a non-compete clause, but this often refers to clients that the company has and not its workforce.
For example, violating a non-compete clause would entail soliciting your former employer's clients for your new company. However, offering employment to some of your past co-works usually does not violate a non-compete clause because a company can not bar them from working elsewhere.
Recruitment in this fashion happens all the time. Again the former employer is concerned with violations of its client base and trade secrets. It can't do anything about its current workforce.

My girlfriend is straight. I'm her experiment. And I knew that when we started going out, she said that she liked me and that she'd considered dating girls. So by my definition I'm her experiment, and that bothers me. I thought I could work through that, but I'm having a really hard time with it. Only a few of my friends (and my parents) know that we're dating, as well as one friend of hers. And her sister. That's it. I thought that wouldn't bother me either, but it used to be her just not telling people. We were totally secretive about our relationship. Then she changed her relationship status on her Facebook to "In a Relationship." So naturally, all of her friends questioned her about this, and she told them she was in a relationship with a guy named Mike who goes to a different school. That has bothered me from the get-go.
This whole relationship is just one big lie. To everyone. I am out of the closet-- there are still people who don't know that I'm gay, but I don't hide that I am. If someone was to ask me if I was gay, I would say yes. It's not an issue for me. It is for her. It's a huge issue. I want to be able to tell people honestly that I am dating someone and who I am dating. I don't want to ask my girlfriend's permission before I tell someone.
I don't want to force her out of the closet though. Especially since she is, by her definition, straight. She likes dudes. I am her experiment. And even if she was considering coming out, I wouldn't push it. That takes time.
I don't know what to do. Every time we're together, we have a blast. She's so fun, and funny, and just a really amazing person. But I tell her I love her and it feels like my words are totally empty. I almost avoid kissing her sometimes (but that might be because it feels like she's eating my face when she does kiss me). I have to be careful with how much affection I show her.
I think I want to break up with her, but I just don't know. I really don't know.
I don't mean to sound blunt or anything but you basically came to your own conclusion. Very rarely will a straight person and a gay/lesbian person have a successful relationship together.
