September 18, 2019, 10:18 pmNikola VucevicC, Orlando Magic
In an interview Wednesday, Magic head coach Steve Clifford said he could see Nikola Vucevic improving across all areas of his game, and echoing his player's belief that he is in his prime.
One of the areas Clifford thought Vucevic could improve upon was his 3-point shooting percentage, and also seemed to indicate that he could contonue to up his play on defense. He's unquestionably solidified himself as the anchor of this team, and the Magic as a whole are likely eyeing to improve upon their momentum as a rising young playoff team in an Eastern Conference that looks pretty weak after the top four to five teams. Expect Vucevic to produce safe second-round value this season.

September 18, 2019, 9:18 pmDeandre AytonC, Phoenix Suns
Suns General Manager James Jones said in a recent interview that Deandre Ayton is capable of playing PF if needed.
One could chalk this up to either Ayton continuing his development in becoming a more dynamic offensive player, or the Suns covering up for the lack of depth on their roster at PF. In reality it's likley a mix of both, and is a positive for Ayton's value heading into this season. If he does end up spending meaningful time at the four, it would not bode well for the value of Dario Saric, who is already barely going at the end of drafts in 9-cat leagues.

September 18, 2019, 8:15 pmDeMarcus CousinsC, Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers have been granted a $1.75 million Disabled Player Exception for DeMarcus Cousins (torn left ACL).
This now officially rules DeMarcus Cousins out for the season. The Lakers will now have the ability to go out and acquire a player that will in all likelihood occupy the end of their bench. Because they signed Dwight Howard, using this cap space on a center isn't necessarily as big a priority as it once was when Cousins initially went down.

September 18, 2019, 6:28 pmMohamed BambaC, Orlando Magic
Mo Bamba will enter training camp second on the depth chart behind Nikola Vučević.
Head coach of the Magic, Steve Clifford, told a reporter that he plans on having Bamba as his primary backup center while Khem Birch will be third on the depth chart. The Magic also have Vučević, who was re-signed in the offseason to a four-year, $100M contract. As long as Bamba is backing up Vučević, his fantasy ceiling is capped outside of standard redraft leagues.

September 18, 2019, 3:16 pmNerlens NoelC, Oklahoma City Thunder
Brett Dawson of The Athletic believes that Nerlens Noel could see a slight bump in minutes if the Thunder limit Steven Adams' usage.
Noel is a great per-minute producer of steals and blocks but only appeared in 13.7 minutes per contest last season. Additional playing time would make him more useful in deeper leagues.

September 18, 2019, 2:23 pmJoel EmbiidC, Philadelphia Sixers
In a video, Joel Embiid announced that he lost about 25 pounds over the summer.
Embiid is one of the best fantasy players around but has struggled at times with conditioning. The Sixers will gladly accept any improvements from last season's averages of 27.5 points and 13.6 rebounds.

September 18, 2019, 2:04 pmTJ WarrenSF, Indiana Pacers
According to Pacers beat writer Scott Agness, Pacers forward T.J. Warren has no injury worries heading into the season.
Warren has missed 56 games during the last two seasons, but he hopes to stay healthy for all of 2019-20. Warren is likely to start for the Pacers and could hold top-100 value if he can stay on the court.

Damian Lillard expects to play for Team USA during next year's Summer Olympics.
Lillard skipped this year's World Cup but is planning to play in Tokyo. He should be a late first-round or early second-round fantasy pick this year.

Warriors guard Stephen Curry expects to play at next year's Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
Curry will have a busy year ahead of him. Still, it's no surprise that many potential members of Team USA skipped this year's FIBA World Cup in favor of an Olympics appearance. Curry will be a popular early first-round pick in fantasy drafts.

September 18, 2019, 1:03 pmIsaiah ThomasPG, Washington Wizards
Wizards guard Isaiah Thomas will be sidelined for 6-8 weeks after undergoing surgery on his left thumb.
This is rough news for the Wizards, who already have John Wall on the shelf. Thomas was a candidate to start at point guard, but instead he'll have to recover from yet another injury. Thomas averaged 8.1 points and 1.9 assists in limited action for the Nuggets last campaign.

The rights of Indigenous People is an area of intense discussion at the first global Indigenous Peoples' Forum.
Often those rights are considered to be related to land ownership and similar entitlements connected with physical space.
During the regional working group session, an interesting and very constructive perspective was introduced by Rufina Peters of the Institute of National Affairs (INA) of PNG. She proposed looking at the rights of Indigenous People as traditional owners of Natural Resources.
This perspective has many implications. What do you think? What organisations or projects have experience working with Indigenous People in this context? Please contribute to this discussion by adding your comments below.

Try to get as much time as you can under the hood. Just gonna have to get some rods, or wire, and burn the **** outta them. Get all the steel you can and learn how to cut it up with oxy/acet an weld it back together. Post pics with questions here as a lot of the guys are great teachers and don't hesitate to help. Good luck
Thanks mam, I can't wait to start , I want a welder for pratice at home . I figure there is going to be only so much I can do in class.

I have no idea how they will run you through the course. in the 80's it was oxy/act for a very short start and cutting with it, then stick welding out the wazoo.
Of course you need the cutting to prep your material. Then plate flat, vertical, horizontal and then overhead.
After 6 months of this I switched schools, guess what, same thing. After much *****ing I got to test on plate and moved to pipe to start the whole process over.
After over a year I had not touched a Mig gun or Tig torch.
So in my opinion, I would not purchase a machine until I got started in school. Then if they are taking you the stick route,, which is most likely and you will learn the best way by starting with stick,,,, then choose a machine that will allow you to get a leg up on whats coming.
Get a machine that will allow you to Tig and it will most likely be stick also. Mig will be easy enough afterwards. But you'll want to do something different at home as you'll get plenty of stick welding at school.
People tell me the thing to get into is tig , I talked to an instructor the other day and he said they do 50% book work and 50% lab . He said they want you to be able to have a leg up om the competition. But they cover fabrication blueprints and the different types of welding they also have a VRTEXTM 360 Virtual Reality Arc Welding Trainer and teach spray transfer mig

If you thought time trialling was hard… try fitting into this!
Congratulations to Vicki Whitelaw for winning the time trial on stage 3 of the Trophee d'Or in France. Vicki's win has inspired me to reflect upon time trials a bit more.
It takes a very special type of person to be a good time trialist. Apart from the power and the engine, you need a capacity to hurt yourself like nothing else. This takes a very special type of personality. Without going into specifics, it's fair to say that if Australia were called into an Armageddon-style war, I'd want to have the time trialists in my battalion. I would put them in the front line and just when my men were floundering I'd yell, 'Oi! HTFU* soldiers! You think this war is hard, try bleeding from your eyeballs as you push 400w for an hour!' Then I would send in my time trialists and they would crush everyone and stop only for gels or to recharge their SRMs.
But now I have a whole new reason to respect time trialists: the skinsuits.
During the Giro we were kitted out in the latest Aussie team skinsuits. Technically, these things are at the cutting edge. They are the same as those which the track riders use and have different material for the sleeves, chest and legs depending on which bits need to be more aero. They are also TOITE. Tight is aero, you see. Very tight is very aero. By that logic, the aero factor of the Aussie skinsuits is off the frickin planet.
We were issued with our skinsuits at the beginning of the tour and I didn't really feel the need to take mine out of its packaging before the time trial on stage 3. The night before the time trial, my roomie Kirsty Broun and I decided that a fashion parade was in order and we got kitted up, just to make sure everything was ok. Can you sense danger? I couldn't.
The first warning I got was when I had trouble getting my suit on OVER MY CALF. That's right, the bit that was meant to be snug around my quads was feeling pretty tight and I hadn't even got it past my knee. Oh boy. It took a great deal of wriggling (picture a fish flapping around on the ground) to get the suit up to my waist, then over my shoulders. Getting the suit over my shoulders involved popping each of my shoulders out of its socket, rotating it outwards and jamming it into a sleeve the size of a baby's sock. OK, maybe I'm exaggerating… but only about the popping bit. FINALLY, I got the suit on. Only problem was, the length of fabric that had been allowed for the torso was insufficient for my (apparently) Amazonian proportions by about 20cm. Instead of standing up properly, I had to hunch over like a gargoyle, my arms dangling in front of me like a T-Rex's. Any more upright and I ran a very real risk of ripping the fabric in two.
I held out hope that I had been given Tiff Cromwell's skinsuit by mistake, and that she was in her room floundering around in a much bigger skinsuit meant for me. But no. This is, apparently, how they're meant to be. You're not standing up straight on a bike, so the suit is designed to be skintight WHILE YOU ARE BENDING OVER. It gave me a startlingly accurate insight into what life will be like when I'm old and hunched over. When that happens, though, I don't plan to wear a one-piece corset made of lycra.
Getting the skinsuit on pre-time trial the next day was a two-person job. I had to schedule in a booking with our soigneur Beth to lever me into the top half of my suit. It was also the first time I had to allocate a good 10 minutes of my time-trial warmup just to getting dressed. Did I go fast? Yes I did. Did I feel aero? Yes indeed. Will I ever, ever, fit into that suit again without the help of the indefatigable Beth? Probably not.
*HTFU is an acronym you may already know. H is for Harden and U is for Up. I will leave the rest to you. Incidentally, you will notice that in this war I have appointed myself to the position of general or commander-in-chief. My mum says I would be good in this role because I enjoy telling people what to do and I quite like the colour green, although not so much camouflage green. If I could change our armed forces' colours to more of a froggy green I would probably consider the role more seriously.

How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. Joe Tedesco, who has a knack for finding shoddy electrical work, did the dirty work and found this mess. Now it's your turn to identify the violation.
Hint: Here's one reason why you might not want to support City Hall.

May Winners
Our three winners for May (Joel A. Peck, electrical project manager, Architechnics, Inc., Quincy, Ill.; John P. Thompson, utility consumer assistant specialist 3, New York State Department of Public Service, Office of Consumer Services, New York; and Edgar Santos, third-year electrical apprentice, Londonderry, N.H.) submitted similar comments, noting the same violations for this bathtub/shower area in a hotel near the seashore. Here's a summary of their responses.
"This installation appears to violate 410.4(D). No part of chain-, cable-, or cord-luminaires, track lighting, or ceiling paddle fans are permitted to be located within 3 feet horizontally and 8 feet vertically from the top of the bathtub rim, or shower stall threshold (bathtub/shower luminaire zone)."
"The 3-foot by 8-foot bathtub/shower luminaire zone may not apply to recessed or surface-mounted luminaires, according to interpretations. However, in this case, the installation is questionable because it looks like it was not properly supported."
"In the 2005 NEC, if luminaires are located in a specific zone they are permitted and are required to be listed for damp locations, or listed for wet locations where they are subject to any shower spray. This installation may also violate the requirements of 404.4 if a switch was installed behind the curtain within the wet location in the bathtub/shower space, unless it was part of a listed tub or shower assembly."
Correctly identify the Code violation(s) in this month's photo — in 200 words or less — and you could win something to put in your toolbox. E-mail your response to Joe Tedesco at [email protected], and he'll select three winners (excluding manufacturers and prior winners) at random from the correct submissions. Winners will receive a set of insulated hand tools from Ideal Industries, Inc. valued at more than $125.* The set includes 9.25-inch insulated side-cutting pliers, 10-inch insulated tongue-and-groove pliers, and a 0.25-inch × 6-inch insulated screwdriver.

In the introduction to his 1997 book Queer Dog: homo/pup/poetry, Gerry Gomez Pearlberg writes, "Why do gay men and lesbians have so much to say on the subject of dogs? Perhaps because we're masters at reconfiguring what it means to create family, what it means to be animal and living in skin, what it means to exist in a state of exuberant, unapologetic disobedience."
It is the spirit of this quote I hoped to bring to life Saturday night, January 16, when I guest curated a pets-themed evening of the successful NYC storytelling series Queer Memoir. The event brings to the stage people from all areas of the community to "provide an avenue to share queer lives and celebrate the ritual and community-building value of storytelling."
Queer Memoir: Pets was attended by nearly 80 people included storytellers from all across the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) community with many stories focusing on the special role that dogs have played in the lives of readers.
Allison Joy, who combines a Reiki practice with her work as a dog trainer with social justice activism, brought a treat bag and clickers to the stage and shared a series of rants about dominance-based training. Colten Tognamino, a dog photographer, shared intimate stories about the joy and heartbreak of being a dad of several very high-needs dogs.
The love and loyalty of dogs was a common theme shared by readers, including Jessica Pabón, who read about holding her best friend Emma, a rescued Rottweiler, before she "went to sleep forever." I shared an excerpt of my own story (first published in my anthology Kicked Out), which focuses on how my teen years were spent competing in dog agility, but when I came out as gay and became homeless I lost my dogs.
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
Ultimately, a common thread among the storytellers on this night was the power of dogs to help us make sense of our place in the world. Sound familiar?

NEW YORK, Aug. 28 (UPI) -- The National Football League (NFL) announced sweeping changes to its policy regarding domestic violence Thursday in the wake of public criticism.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, In a letter to NFL owners, admitted to current code's failings and said new punishments will be put in place.
The new standards require that any player accused of domestic violence will face a 6-game suspension on the first offense, barring any "mitigating" circumstances and a lifetime ban on the second.
The change comes after the wave of public criticism following the NFL's decision to suspend Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice for only two games after evidence surfaced that he beat his wife. The scrutiny was only intensified when Josh Gordon was given a harsher punishment for drug offenses. Goodell said the current policy fails to meet the League's standards and the NFL must "do better."
"At times, however, and despite our best efforts, we fall short of our goals. We clearly did so in response to a recent incident of domestic violence. We allowed our standards to fall below where they should be and lost an important opportunity to emphasize our strong stance on a critical issue and the effective programs we have in place. My disciplinary decision led the public to question our sincerity, our commitment, and whether we understood the toll that domestic violence inflicts on so many families. I take responsibility both for the decision and for ensuring that our actions in the future properly reflect our values. I didn't get it right. Simply put, we have to do better. And we will."
ESPN reporter Adam Schefter posted the communication on Facebook.

Who Likes Grape Soda?
I'm not a big fan of soda. Sort of. By that I mean don't drink it regularly and I'm not addicted to any one kind. (This is where some of my coworkers might point out that I'm the only one in our office drinking the free bottles of Mountain Dew Throwback sitting in a giant box on the floor, but...it's right there! And it's free! I wouldn't actually buy Mountain Dew. I think.)
But there's something about grape soda that I really like, thus causing me to buy a can during my recent visit to Di Fara. Does it taste like grape? Hell no—it tastes like artificially flavored grape candy. In turn, grape candy reminds me of being a kid, in particular going to summer camp and eating whatever candy they provided me with. Why this triggers a comforting feeling I don't know, considering that I rarely drank grape soda growing up and I didn't particularly enjoy summer camp, but for some reason I get a kick of "carefree childhood" and "warm, lazy summer" in every fizzy high fructose corn syrup-laden sip, the combination of which makes me feel notably happier than any other soda would.
Does anyone else particularly like grape soda?

If this sounds weird you will have to tolerate me. For as long as I can remember everytime I meet people and my being left-handed would be exposed ( Say maybe, I have to use a pen etc) some people would ask me if I am creative- with the assumption that left handed people are all creative. (Of course I am a published author of two Novels and a collection of poems). However I still need to find out if is there a factual proveable reason behind the assumption/ or the thinking that all lefthanded humans are creative by virtue of them 'using the left side of the brain'?.
Is there a followable scientifical lineage of creative humans( in arts, science, politics etc) who, if they were not left handed, they would not have achieved or contributed to human civilisation?

Great topic as several have alluded because it does result in labeling for no good purpose in the most part. It also makes me consider what I do know which is mostly anecotal.
I tend to make a distinction between bigotry borne of ignorance (where, for example, someone makes some statement based on a stereotype, not realizing it isn't always or even usually true) and bigotry to the point of hatred (e. g., burning crosses on the lawns of people with lots of melanin). Depending on the ignorant misconception, of course the second can result from the first, but I simply don't consider the first to be morally equivalent to the second.
The subject is beyond the scope of my imagination as there are so many instances in which bigotry is present when anyone should be able to work out immediately that it is nonsense. On the other side, one cannot mention physical characteristics in some company without being attacked.
As for the burning of crosses, what a bunch of idiots! Were a black person to tell me that I was inferior because of my skin, I would accept that they were correct with regards to quality of skin but follow up wanting to know why it mattered, etc.
Anyone who believes that a white skin is a sign of superiority can't spell melanoma. That and one learns some basics when one owns Welsh skin and boxes against black guys in college. I'm actually quite resentful but don't blame the black people as they can't change color and would not be so foolish as to make such a silly change. Just one more nail in the lid of the dead or never existed creator of the universe if it ever did exist.
One of the courses I did in linguistics compared communiction patterns of European language pattern speakers with that of Athapaskan language pattern speakers. The stereotypes which were commonly held of the other group were completely accurate according to the communication patterns of one's own group.
I've shared a paper on the subject, by Ron & Suzanne Scollen with hundreds of people over the years but no one offers response. I'm mystified as thought it was the most fascinating paper I've ever read. I was teaching in small northern communities at the time but it's not rocket science to see that this must extend...
Speaking of bigotry, I passed a tobacco shop today in a strip mall that had a wooden Indian out front - I thought those days were LONG since over!
Most people don't see those as racist anymore, they see them as nostalgia pieces. To be fair, if you don't live near any Native Americans, you likely won't hear much flack about it.
I've seen a few that were downright cartoony, but some where absolutely regal looking. I guess it depends on the subject matter.
I continue to struggle to understand the perspective with regards these issues. Decades ago when I was a college instructor, we were "blessed" with the presence of several "issues people" who advocated sensitivity training for everyone and felt themselves to be the infallible authorities as to what was demeaning to anyone.
After a time some of the trades & technology students revolted over the attempted indoctrination and the student sensitivity training went away.
I understand that some symbols and representations can be unattractive to some people but have difficulty in determining when it is warranted. No one seems to object to a cartoon Scotsman in kilt, but a cigar store indian raises objections. We lack space for such a piece as a full sized human sculpture in our home but can accept that those who do find these old representations attractive.
I do conclude that some of the "you've hurt my feelings" is not valid and sometimes simply attention and/or compensation seeking.
Not arguing your concern, Unseen, just do not understand how and where to draw these lines as clearly as so many people feel competent to do.
As a principle, it seems undesireable to offend someone intentionally and/or without good purpose. As another principle, it seems undesireable to allow irrational questions and behaviors to be supported.
How to find the balance?
Frankly, Norm, if I were a Native American (which is a weird term, because none of us is native to North America, we all came from somewhere else), I would see a bit of sadistic irony in the use of an Indian to advertise tobacco - we took their land, and they gave us cancer sticks! If I were Indian and saw such a thing, I would smile and say, "Gotcha Paleface!"
All this labelling and hurt feelings stuff makes me wonder why people find it to be so difficult to just get along?
"(which is a weird term, because none of us is native to North America, we all came from somewhere else)"
I guess that makes us all South Africans.

Before I visited Miami and spent time with Telemundo, I had heard of the new show on mun2 called RPM Miami. I knew it had something to do with racing cars, and since that didn't really interest me, I didn't look into it any further.
During my time with Telemundo I learned that one of the stars of the show, actor Adrian Bellani, is half Salvadoran. Born in Miami and raised in San Salvador, Bellani plays the character Alejandro who is a soldier returning home from a tour in Iraq. He discovers that his father is missing and while trying to find out what happened to him, gets mixed up in the world of Miami street racing.
Two other things that I liked – First, the characters on the show are all bilingual and the show is a mix of both Spanish and English. And second, RPM Miami is shot on location in Miami.
I had the opportunity to meet some of the stars and of course, my question was, "Which one of you is the guanaco?" … Well, they totally misunderstood me. They thought I was saying "El Guajo" – (which is the name of the antagonist on RPM Miami.) Too funny…Chécalo!
RPM Miami premieres Sunday May 1 @ 10p/9C on mun2.
Disclosure: I went to Miami at the invitation of Telemundo. All opinions are my own.

I know, its only make up. Being a beauty addict I have a certain way I organising my make up (in a large bag, in cabinets, in smaller bags, then mini bags) and that is my way of doing it.
If people start messing things up (Mr Candy) in an attempt to "tidy it" it drives me insane.
I also dislike people messing with my day to day beauty essentials, especially cream products. Why? Bacteria.
My bacteria in my foundation = ok.
Your bacteria in my foundation = not ok.
A few years ago I had a friend who was – shall we say, very heavy handed with things. She once grabbed my brand new Lush shampoo (you know how they have screw on lids?) and attempted to yank it off, whilst I was trying to say in a very polite British manner "Maybe you should try unscrewing it?"…..
Too late – Yeti Arms manages to pull it off and SPLAT goes my conditioner, all over me and in my latte.
Another time I was showing her my new MAC LE eyeshadow palette and she immediately lunged towards it, chicken mayo laced fingers ahoy, ready to swatch the colours…
It was a slow motion moment, like in the Matrix – I am Neo, the chosen one – and I can see her trotters heading towards my brand new, oil free powder eyeshadows but I am powerless to stop her.
Then all of a sudden, something drops *bang*. She is distracted.
I retreat my MAC eyeshadow with my super quick reflexes, quicker than Elin Woods with a gold club, and she sort of forgot about it.
It was close. Too close.
Is it so hard to understand? No matter how well you know someone, understand this:
1. I am not Selfridges, and the contents of my make up bag and the pieces in my collection (old OR new) are not for swatching, unless I say its ok.
2. Do not stick your fingers in any of my make up. I don't want weird swirls or fingerprint marks in it. I don't care if you have anti bacterial gel. You might have worms for all I know.
You think I'm a psychopath now, don't you? But I can't help being Anal! I look after my make up! I sanitize everything!
#TeamAnal! (Not *that* kind, ok?)
Anyway, the above rant has got me thinking – is it just me who is anal about my beauty products? Are you happy sharing your make up or are you fussy like me?

Epistles, Anabaptist
These are among the most unusual literary documents of Anabaptism, in type, style, and spirit reminiscent of the epistles of the New Testament. Though single epistles by other Anabaptist groups have been preserved (see Non-Hutterite section below), we know of no other group which so systematically collected all of their epistles and made them available to the brotherhood. In their totality the epistles represent one of the richest sources for our understanding of the Anabaptists, and a moving testimony of the courage, strength, and genuineness of their faith. No other group of Anabaptists has produced such an amazing amount of devotional literature as have the Hutterites, who enjoyed writing and copying their literature almost up to recent times. European archives and libraries as well as the colonies of the Brethren in the United States and Canada hold an astonishing number of handwritten devotional and other books. Joseph Beck (Geschichts-Bücher) describes a great number of these European codices (as does also Lydia Müller, Glaubenszeugnisse . . . , 1938) which once belonged to Hutterite colonies in Slovakia but were confiscated, mainly by Jesuits during the 18th century and stored away (Beck, 563-642). About 300 such codices are known but many more must once have existed which were lost in times of persecution and wandering, or were destroyed by fire or plunder. They represent a complete Hutterite devotional library which was, to be sure, never printed and was hardly known to the outside world until rather recent times. In these books (Sammelbände) are found also all the epistles to be discussed in this article.
Moravia was the main center of Hutterite activities during the 16th century. Here were their large Bruderhofs with a Vorsteher or elder at the helm, and here were also their scriptoria (Schreibstuben) where all the incoming and outgoing epistles were collected and copied. The Brethren developed an extraordinary literary activity: the largest of these codices comprises 700 to 800 leaves quarto (of solid, strong paper), written in excellent penmanship, and beautifully bound in leather with clasps. The number of epistles known is likewise amazing; 400 to 500 have been counted. But it is fairly safe to say that once the number must have been still greater. Many of these epistles are of unusual length, covering in print occasionally as much as 20 pages folio size. Only about one fifth of all derive from the 17th century; all the rest belong to the great era of the 16th century; the time of writing stretches from 1527 to 1662.
Apparently most of the brethren were passionate letter writers; their strong inner life and their complete devotion to their new way found no better expression than in such epistles. Their topics were brotherhood, community of goods, a working faith in God and Christ, martyrdom as the inevitable lot of an earnest Christian, victory over flesh and world, absolute certainty in their way of resignation and nonconformity, love to everyone. Theological speculations were rare and less popular since they lack the actuality of a given situation. All these letters were read and reread by the Brethren, who thus learned the genius of their own tradition as well as the right behavior of earnest Christians living like sheep among wolves. It was their sacred legacy.
The epistles may be classified into different types: missionary letters to and from those who were working for God in all countries of German tongue, martyr letters to and from those who were in prison or just about to give the highest testimony of their faith, letters of admonition and encouragement, and finally also a few personal letters to friends, and so on. The elders or the entire community also sent many letters to the Brethren abroad.
About 80 personal letter writers have been counted, half of whom died sooner or later as martyrs. Some of these writers were very prolific, in some cases writing as many as 20 or more letters to the church at home, while others wrote just one or two letters in a long while but then often very long ones. Not all writers were leaders, ministers, or other functionaries. Often simple and very humble brethren produced true gems of epistolary literature. Many of these letter writers name Tyrol as their home country. Four of them (of the earliest period) had formerly been Catholic priests. Only one writer is known to have been a schoolmaster; others were millers, blacksmiths, cabinetmakers, etc. About one third of all the epistles have no individual author; they are, as so many other documents of the Anabaptists, anonymous.
Most prominent of all these letters are those written in prison and dungeon (about 130 in number). It was the very joy of the Brethren who suffered for conscience' sake to write home to the community as a whole. The consciousness of belonging to the brotherhood gave them strength, firmness, and courage to stand all of these unbelievable hardships and tortures. Only 30 of all letters studied are addressed to the "marital sister," i.e., wife, containing farewell greetings and exhortations to remain steadfast in their faith. Perhaps not all letters of this sort were filed in the scriptorium, though that is not likely in a group as closely knit as this. One epistle which has become particularly well known, even famous, is the long letter which Jakob Hutter, the great first leader, wrote to the governor of Moravia on behalf of the entire brotherhood when this group was about to be expelled from Moravia in 1535. This letter has been reprinted seven times in different connections, and has been used as a major source. More than 200 epistles have a collective address (e.g., "To the brethren on the Rhine," or "To the brethren wherever they are," etc.). In some epistles an imprisoned brother comforts his comrade in bonds who lies in a nearby prison (Trostbrief an einen mitgegangenen Bruder). Many epistles were written by the elder or Vorsteher of the community to the distant workers for God in tribulations and need. It was particularly during the "Golden Era" in Moravia (1565-78), the period of the elder Peter Walpot, that a great number of missioners (Sendboten) went out into many lands. Hence many epistles arrived and were answered by busy writing-hands.
The high standard of most of these epistles is truly amazing; simple tradesmen and husbandmen wrote letters of great perfection in expression and effectiveness. In the Hutterite colonies they learned reading and writing and of course the spiritual foundations of their life. They also studied the writings of those who lived and suffered before them. Equipped in this way, they were eager to write under any situation. In jail and dungeon they somehow procured paper, ink, and quill, and there were always messenger-brethren for the contact back and forth with Moravia. At home all letters were carefully preserved, copied, collected in separate codices, and also inserted into the text of the Great Chronicle (Geschicht-Buch) which was so carefully carried on through the centuries. One fifth of the entire Chronicle consists of such inserted epistles, while the great part of the text is made up of excerpts from such records. It was the real life of the Brethren which was thus mirrored in these writings.
Only the epistles of the New Testament offer an adequate comparison to this unique literature which has the same spirit and in many cases even the same style as the apostolic models. Their genuineness and immediacy make them outstanding. It was, of course, inevitable that occasionally stereotyped forms crept in. But most of the letters written in prison—and they are the majority—in face of a supreme test, show a spontaneity of expression not too often met in religious literature. Distress and tribulation, but at the same time hope and trust in God, thus became verbal; likewise the assurance to have lived up to God's commands. There was no room for great excitement. Simplicity is combined with deep spirituality, and an emotional warmth with healthy restraint and dignity in expression. Occasionally a folksy note comes to the fore, but surprisingly it is not the rule. The Pauline style is often imitated as the Brethren felt a kinship to the spirit and life of the early apostles. Sometimes a natural rudeness and wittiness shows up, which enhance the attractiveness of these letters. An example from 1568 might illustrate this side. A brother in prison reports of his conversations with a Catholic priest who wants to persuade him to give up his way, "Then I spoke, 'Since you want to derive infant baptism from circumcision which so obviously is straight against infant baptism, I must speak about it. Now, you tell me: did Abraham invent circumcision by himself?' Upon which he said, 'It was ordered to him by God.' Then I answered, 'Then wait until infant baptism will be ordered to you by God.' Then he said, 'You are a rude straw-cutter and do not understand the Scriptures, and yet you want to teach me; you should rather believe me and follow me; I am a highly learned man and well versed in many languages.' Upon which I said, 'A long time ago there was not one swine-herd all around Rome who would not have known Latin since it was a common language then, as ancient history clearly makes out. Nowadays it is a secular art and not at all divine piety or discipline.' "
Freshness of style, and always a witness to their faith make these epistles stimulating reading. True, there were not many new ideas to be propagated, since Anabaptism is a simple Biblical faith. Yet there is almost in every line of this literature a concreteness and existentiality of a faith which was less meditated than lived out. That explains why there is no unctiousness in their speech and no empty talk. As one brother wrote in 1561, "For that reason, beloved brethren, accept my little writing in love and good spirit, not as a work of the pen or the ink, but as truth and living word. All that I have taught you I am set to seal with my blood through the grace of God. . . . My letter is not in pleasant words of human wisdom but in the testimony of the Spirit and of power (in der Beweisung des Geistes und der Kraft)."
There is little wonder that these human documents were so highly esteemed; they were studied and copied and represent the source of strength for everyone in the colony. Here the Brethren learned the right demeanor in facing the world, and the right spirit of suffering. This reading gave them strength in the martyrdom which threatened them in almost every corner of the country. All that explains why these epistle-codices became such a precious heritage and why they were preserved and carried along throughout all the long history and wandering of the brethren.

Hans Georg Fischer published Hutter's letters with a biography in 1956.
Robert Friedmann was editing a volume of Hutterite letters for publication in 1957.
The Hutterites were not the only passionate letter writers; it seems as if such activities were particularly appealing to all Anabaptists, who thus testified to their faith, expressing their uncompromising stand, and above all leaving a legacy for those who came after them. These letters were in most cases written by martyrs who wanted to send a last farewell to their beloved ones or to the entire group, together with some admonitions and exhortations to keep loyal to the faith. In the same way as the great Hutterite Chronicle was built upon such epistles (either inserted or else used as main sources for the narrative), so were also all the martyrbooks, which originated in the Netherlands and found their climax in van Braght's great Martyrs' Mirror of 1660 . Even a superficial perusal of this book will demonstrate this fact; nearly half of its second part is made up of such letters written by martyrs in many lands in prison, on the eve of their execution, and addressed to wife, husband, child, or the brethren wherever they were. No special study has yet been undertaken in this direction, but the similarity in spirit, form, and style with the Hutterite letters is striking. Only in one point is a significant difference observable; while the Hutterites have not one single letter written by a woman (though they had female martyrs), van Braght presents a great number of epistles written by women who were about to face the supreme sacrifice. J. C. Wenger (Glimpses, 177-78) prints the translation of such a most moving letter by Janneken von Munstdorp to her child, which was born in prison and now had to be abandoned (1573). This is a real gem of Anabaptist epistolary literature. Other great letters were written by Anneken of Rotterdam 1538, and many other women who were ready to seal their faith by martyrdom and death.
The sources of van Braght or the earlier martyr-books are little known. No central office existed in the Netherlands or in the Lower Rhine district as was the case with the Hutterites in Moravia, and no central body could take care of these precious legacies. And yet they were preserved. The [[Amsterdam Mennonite Library (Bibliotheek en Archief van de Vereenigde Doopsgezinde Gemeente te Amsterdam)|Amsterdam Mennonite Library]] has the original of a letter written by the martyr Maeyken Wens, who was executed at Antwerp on October 6, 1573. This letter is written on the back of a letter which her husband had written to her while she was in prison. This is the only autograph letter of a Dutch martyr that has been preserved. It was later included in the Dutch martyrbooks, including van Braght's Martyrs' Mirror. It was, most likely, done by way of small printed pamphlets (Flugschriften) published soon after the tragic event and circulated among fellow believers. Today several libraries in America and Europe hold collections of such pamphlets . These anonymous booklets, containing epistles together with introductions of admonition and exhortation, must once have been very popular. Large collections (Sammelbände) of later centuries impressively demonstrate this fact. The oldest printed copy of a letter by a Dutch martyr seems to be one written by Anneken Jans, who was executed in 1539 at Rotterdam, published in the very year of her execution with a song, also written by Anneken. Beginning about 1577 a large number of booklets containing letters by Dutch martyrs appeared. They were published (at first anonymously) by Gillis Rooman at Haarlem, Nicolaas Biestkens at Amsterdam, and others. The following volumes are known: letters of Jacob de Keersmaecker 1577, Hendrick Alewijnsz 1577, Thys Joriaensz 1577, Joost Verkindert 1577, Reytse Ayseszoon n.d., Jan Woutersz van Cuyck 1579, Christiaen Rijcen (Christiaen de Rijcke) 1582, and Joose de Tollenaer 1599. Of some of these volumes there may have been older editions; some of them have been reprinted. A considerable collection of letters was already published in the oldest martyr-book, the Dutch Offer des Heeren of 1562, of which a number of reprints have appeared of each successive enlarged edition. The most outstanding of these collections is Güldene Aepffel in Silbern Schalen, most likely of Swiss origin, published 1702 and 1742 in Europe and 1745 in Pennsylvania. It contains altogether 24 epistles: (1) First the Sendbrief an die Gemeinde zu Horb (1527) by Michael Sattler. In this case the source, a pamphlet with all the Sattler material, published right after his execution, is known and found in Mennonite libraries. (2) Eight epistles by Thomas Imbroich (executed 1558), including his famous Confessio, sent to his wife and the brethren. In this case also we know the pamphlet serving as a source (see Mennonite Quarterly Review XVI, 1942, 99-107). (3) Two epistles by Soetge van der Houte (martyred 1560), one a Sendbrief an ihre Brüder und Schwestern und auch Kinder, and one a testament (legacy) to her children. (4) Eleven epistles by Michael Servaes (died 1563), called Sendbriefe welche er vor und in seinem Gefängnis zu Köln an seine Verwandten nach dem Geist und Fleisch geschrieben. (5) Two epistles from prison by Konrad Koch, who died as a martyr in 1565. Of the Houte, Servaes, and Koch epistles we do not know the original sources; yet there is little doubt that printed booklets existed also in these cases. As to the contents of these epistles and their skillful form of expression the same can be said as of the Hutterite letters: they are certainly superior documents.
It is surprising that one more such pamphlet of the 18th century has preserved almost the same spirit and form. That is the Sendbrief von einem Liebhaber Gottes Worts, written by an unknown brother in the darkness of prison in Bern, Switzerland, about 1715, and published most likely in Basel as an anonymous tract (copies in Mennonite historical libraries). This brother sends his admonitions to his "fellow members of the household of faith" as a call to steadfastness and loyalty and as a reminder to stay in the true fear of God, which befits earnest believers. It has 40 pages in print, and strikingly continues the old tradition of Anabaptist epistles.
Many more such epistles have been found in archives where trial records are stored away. The great Täuferakten publication in Germany (Bossert, Schornbaum) contains a number of such epistles though all too often in excerpts only. More such source publications are scheduled and will no doubt increase our knowledge of Anabaptist letter writing. But one particular letter still deserves our special attention because of its historical significance. That is Conrad Grebel's famous writing to Thomas Müntzer, from Zürich, September 5, 1524 (see Bender, Conrad Grebel). Strictly speaking this is not yet an Anabaptist letter since Grebel was at that time not yet baptized on confession of faith. Still it might be called the very first Anabaptist statement in existence. It is not a martyr's epistle, but a friendly admonition together with a brief exposition of the new Anabaptist faith and attitude toward life. As such it does not quite fall into the scope of the present article, but represents rather an introduction to this entire field.
In July 1955, a remarkable find of Anabaptist epistles was made in the Bürgerbibliothek in Bern, Switzerland, where a bound manuscript volume of 42 letters and documents of 1527-61 was found. The letters are largely by Pilgram Marpeck and his associates, collected by Jörg Maler in a volume together with a few other documents, to which he gave the title Kunstbuch.

Racial slurs hurled at lawmaker after calling for Trump's impeachment
During a town hall meeting Saturday, Congressman Al Green played recordings of threatening voicemail messages left for him after he demanded the impeachment of President Donald Trump on the House floor earlier this week.
"You'll be hanging from a tree," one caller said.
The calls use graphic racial slurs, some calling Green the n-word. "You ain't going to impeach nobody. Try it and we will lynch all of you," the caller said.
On Wednesday, the Houston Democrat became the first member of Congress to call for Trump's impeachment from the House floor. The congressman said the firing of FBI Director James Comey was one of the reasons.
"It does not deter us," Green said of the threats. "We are not going to be intimidated. We are not going to allow this to cause us to deviate from what we believe to be the right thing to do and that is to proceed with the impeachment of President Trump."
At the town hall held at Fountain Life Center in southwest Houston, a group of about 100 people gathered to hear from the congressman. Police officers milled around the building, providing high security, and participants were checked by security officials holding wands before entering the meeting.
Green has received threatening messages from callers at his offices in Houston and Washington, said Camille Scott, a spokeswoman for him.
He said he wanted his constituents to be aware of the hateful calls he received.
"When a person talks about lynching you, we think that's a pretty serious threat," he said.

Title VII--Indian, Native Hawaiian, And Alaska Native Education
Indian Education (VII-A)
The Indian Education program supports the efforts of school districts, Indian tribes and organizations, postsecondary institutions, and other entities to meet the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students so that they can meet the same challenging state student academic achievement standards as all other students.
The federal government has a unique and continuing trust relationship with and responsibility to the Indian people for the education of Indian children. The federal government continues to work with school districts, Indian tribes and organizations, postsecondary institutions, and other entities toward the goal of ensuring that programs that serve Indian children are of the highest quality and provide for not only the basic elementary and secondary educational needs but also the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of these children.
On average, American Indian and Alaska Native students tend to demonstrate lower achievement levels than members of other groups. National Assessment of Educational Progress test results for fourth-graders show that American Indians and Alaskan Natives score below basic levels in reading, math, and history. Other differences exist between the American Indian and Alaska Native population and the general population in educational attainment. For example, only 66 percent of American Indians and Alaska Natives had graduated from high school in 1990, compared with 75 percent of the general population. American Indian and Alaska Native students are also less frequently college-bound, and their SAT and ACT scores are lower than national norms.
WHAT'S NEW--The No Child Left Behind Act
Reduces Bureaucracy and Increases Flexibility
- Authorizes school districts receiving funds under the formula program to consolidate funds from other federal programs that provide education and related services to Indians as a demonstration authority. Requires the U.S. Department of Education to submit an interim report to Congress on the status of the demonstration project within two years of enactment and a final report within five years.
How It Works
There are three major activities funded under the Indian Education Program: Grants to districts, special programs, and national activities.
- Grants to school districts. Formula grants are given to school districts and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) -operated or supported schools based on the number of Indian children and the state's per-pupil expenditure for education. Grants go only to districts in which there are at least 10 Indian children or the Indian children make up at least 25 percent of the total enrollment. Districts in California, Alaska, and Oklahoma, and those located on or near reservations, are exempted from this requirement. Each local district receives at least $3,000.
- Special Programs. Competitive grants are given to, among others, state education agencies (SEAs) and districts, Indian tribes and organizations, and federally supported schools for Indians for up to five years. Currently funded activities include demonstrations for early childhood projects and professional development.
- National Research, Data Collection, and Evaluation Activities. The U.S. Department of Education may carry out any of these activities directly or through grants to, or contracts or cooperative agreements with, Indian tribes, Indian organizations, state education agencies (SEAs), school districts, institutions of higher education, including Indian institutions of higher education, and other public and private agencies and institutions. Research activities will be carried out in consultation with the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) and may include collaborative research activities that are jointly funded and carried out by the Office of Indian Education Programs (OIE) and OERI.
Key Requirements
Grants to local school districts. Acceptable activities under this program include:
- Culturally related activities that support the application;
- Early childhood and family programs;
- Enrichment programs that directly support the attainment of challenging state academic content and student academic achievement standards;
- Integrated educational services;
- Career preparation activities;
- Activities concerning substance abuse and to prevent substance abuse;
- Activities that incorporate American Indian- and Alaska Native-specific curriculum content, consistent with state standards, into the curriculum; and
- Family literacy services.
Special Programs. Acceptable activities under this program include:
- Incentive programs related to the educational needs of educationally disadvantaged children;
- Educational services;
- Bilingual and bicultural programs and projects;
- Special health and nutrition services, and other related services;
- Programs designed to assist and encourage Indian children to enter, remain in, or re-enter school, and to increase the rate of high school graduation for Indian children;
- Early childhood and kindergarten programs;
- Partnership projects between schools and local businesses for career preparation programs designed to provide Indian youths with the knowledge and skills they need to make an effective transition from school to a high-skill, high-wage career;
- Programs designed to encourage and assist Indian students to work toward, and gain entrance into, an institution of higher education; and
- Family literacy services.
National Research Activities. The U.S. Department of Education may use funds to conduct research related to effective approaches for educating Indian children and adults; evaluate federally assisted education programs from which Indian children and adults may benefit; collect and analyze data on the educational status and needs of Indians; and carry out other activities that are consistent with the purpose of this program.
How It Achieves Quality
Applications for district formula grants must include academic content and student academic achievement goals, as well as benchmarks for attaining such goals, that are based on the challenging state academic content and achievement standards for all children adopted under Title I. Applicants for competitive grants must provide information demonstrating that the proposed program is based on scientific research and may have been modified to be culturally appropriate for students who will be served.
How Performance Is Measured
Each school district will prepare and submit reports to the U.S. Department of Education on the effectiveness of the funded activities in improving the educational achievement of Indian students.

Mellor bags League One award
Preston North End striker Neil Mellor has been named the npower League One player of the month for September.
The 28-year-old netted six goals in four league matches over the course of the month to take his tally to eight in all competitions this season. Preston boss Phil Brown was delighted that his forward's prolific form has been recognised.
He said: "It is a fantastic achievement for Neil. In the first month of the season he was getting used to the new coaching methods and a different management style."
He added: "He took the new methods on board fairly positively and now all of a sudden he has responded in September by scoring six goals in a strong winning team.
"The fact that Iain Hume and Jamie Proctor have been playing alongside him have helped Neil get his chances.
"In terms of finishing, he is one of the best I have ever worked with during my time in the game."

Players offer more choices from fewer brands
Competition is alive and well in the seed industry, with each player vying for a spot in the farmer's planter.
The past few years have brought major shifts in market share as consolidation continues and new technologies hit the marketplace, says Kent Schulze, an associate with Cornland Consulting of Minneapolis, Minn.
"The big companies acquired many of the local and regional companies and also came out with better, innovative products," he says.
Seed sales for Dow AgroSciences, Monsanto, DuPont and Syngenta—the major players in the U.S. corn and soybean seed industry—reached almost $13 billion in 2011. "Sales for the top four companies will continue to climb this year with a big jump in corn acres, more traits and larger market shares," Schulze adds.
Combined, the big four own 80% of the U.S. corn business and 70% of the U.S. soybean business. Just 10 years ago, corn market share was 72% and soybean market share was 50%.
AgReliant, a joint venture between European KWS and Limagrain comprising five regional companies and brands, maintains 7% of the U.S. corn business and 3% of the soybean business. Farm supply brands, independent companies and regional brands round out the remainder of market share.
In the canola, cotton and rice seed sectors, Bayer CropScience is a big participant and will soon ramp up in wheat and soybeans, Schulze adds.
"All of the giant crop protection–based seed companies have a deep trait pipeline," he says. "They are working 15 years out with more than 100 biotech collaborators, which have the newest technologies."
Because of the research and investment commitments it takes to develop new traits, Schulze says, only the biggest companies have the resources to develop and gain regulatory approval for new traited seed products. "In order to pay for all of that trait development and marketing, companies have to get their products on as many farms as possible," he says.
Regardless of the market share differences, John McDougall of Phillips McDougall, an agrochemical tracking, research and consulting firm near Edinburgh, Scotland, believes the smaller independent companies will continue to be viable. "A smaller company offers a good seed and technology base for one state or sometimes several states, and they also have better local knowledge," he says.
Thanks to licensing agreements with the bigger companies, the independent players have access to the latest technology. "That's a good revenue stream for the big companies and for the small company, it means they aren't cut off from that technology," McDougall explains.
Market Share Shifts with Acquisitions and Technology
Acquisitions and new technology are the biggest drivers of market share increases, according to Kent Schulze, an associate with Cornland Consulting. Monsanto and DuPont, in particular, have acquired several independent brands in the past decade, which accounts for the dramatic decrease in market share for local and regional companies. The subtle changes in the past couple of years are primarily a result of aggressive marketing campaigns, though new technology has contributed some, says John McDougall of Phillips McDougall a agrochemical tracking and research firm.
Streamlined brands. To build market share, major seed companies strategically acquire brands, therefore absorbing their customer base. "All of the major companies have made some sort of acquisition in the past few years," McDougall says.
Once a company acquires a seed brand, it has two choices—add it to its product portfolio or eliminate it. Schulze says it's interesting to track how many seed brands have been dropped during the past 15 years. The major crop protection/seed companies have eliminated 20 of their 54 acquired corn and soybean brands while creating 10 new seed brands. During the same time period, 57 other regional and local company brands were eliminated through consolidation.
Monsanto bought eight corn and soybean companies in 2006—Kruger, Diener, Heritage, Sieben, Trisler, Campbell, Cornbelt and Gold Country. Today, only Kruger and Gold Country remain as active brands.
Of course, Schulze says, every brand that a company sells has an attached cost. In the years ahead, he believes the major seed companies will pour more of their resources into their
banner brands rather than support the smaller ones. "I think all of the multiple seed branding could be temporary," he predicts. "Technology branding is another frontier."
Advancing technology. Through collaborations and technology licensing, trait pipelines have exploded in recent years, offering multiple yield, seed and refuge benefits.
"The market is moving quite fast from the first-generation products to the second- and third-generation products," McDougall says. "You've got all this technology available to the grower and it's incredibly complex."
Even with all of the sophisticated science involved in crop production, farmers have been more than capable in adjusting. "The ultimate goal of the industry is to make farming much easier for the grower," McDougall says. That can come in the form of refuge-in-a-bag, stacked traits, seed treatments or precision farming.
Of course, having hybrids that can withstand adverse weather conditions, fight against pest infestations and produce higher yields has upped the cost to farmers. Will they continue to pay for the seed enhancements?
"There is always an upper limit," he adds. "Because the value capture is such a benefit for the grower, I don't think we've hit that limit yet."

WHAT: SeatGuru.com has a free app (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad) that provides more than 700 color-coded seat maps for nearly 100 airlines. You can get seat advice and recommendations (yes, some seats have drawbacks), search and book flights, and check your flight status with real-time alerts from FlightAware.
HITS: By using the app while I was in the air, I was able to find the terminal and gate of my connecting flight. I used that info, along with the restaurant info on my GateGuru app (no affiliation), to plan where to eat on my short layover.
MISSES: People are accustomed to using the comparison charts on SeatGuru.com, but I couldn't find the website on the app. You must access it with your smartphone's browser to get the information. You could, however, sort route info by time of day and compare planes and seats that way before booking.

And then she is... stars (June 4, 2010)
Zelda. She had that way. She just did. Even in the end, she remained the ultimate monster of love (to borrow from Sparks). She felt the wind whipping into the car, sunk into the music, took it all in -- and dreamed.
The people at the vet's were just as unwrapped as Ali and I. There is never a moment sending doggies to heaven is easy. But some patients -- and Zelda was a baby they'd pulled through a couple big crisis. and she'd charmed them in her weakness just like she did everyone else -- are tougher than others.
But everyone tried to be brave, through their wired set jaws and their too veiled eyes. The inevitable is just that... just... time. And there's nothing you can do -- like water slipping through your fingers, it's just gone.
Zelda got quiet, too. She knew. Not quiet in a scared way, but in a "this is it" way, uncertain of the future... knowing, no doubt, they were going to stick her, because they always stuck her -- and just too tired to even know what to think about it.
Sarah, her very favorite office person, was there. She'd been dealing with a fairly upset me on the phone for the five months it had taken the spaniel's kidneys to fail. She is patience and kindness and knowing. Zelda was glad to see her...
And Dr. Stanland was there. Quiet, calm, gentle. She had done the same protocol on a Sunday 14 years prior as an emergency for Scott, Zelda's brother. She understands the way sorrow runs through your veins, permeates every fiber of your being, every breath taken.
"You ready?" she asked the poodle. Zelda looked up, so tired she could barely smile. She was. I wasn't, but the little girl was ready to fly, to romp, to be free -- of all pain, all exhaustion, all the nausea that had plagued her.
Dr Stanland explained the process. A sleeping medicine to let her drift off, then something to end her suffering -- before it was just too much. And, because Dr Ann thinks of everything, BABY FOOD! Something to nibble while the first injection was being given.
Never mind the plate of beef burgundy Zelda had just devoured. A new and delicious snack. The poodle was elated. Yummy! Yes! More... and she ate the entire jar, licking the spoon and smiling at Sarah.
"You can take her out to the car," my vet said, knowing -- as did everyone -- that was Zelda's most favorite place.
Zelda, so weak, she doesn't even think twice about walking. I scoop her up, and she melts into me. She just lets go and merges into my body as she did so many mornings when she wanted to keep me all for her.
Back in the car, there is more music. More petting that silky blond fur, kissing the top of her head. Trying not to cry, because as the orderly told me when my father was so ill with the cancer, "He don't need your tears... and your sadness... He needs to feel joy, and life... and love. You bring him THAT, and you leave your pain out there -- cause he's got enough of that."
She was wide, that orderly. Tough and big and brown. An old, honest Florida texture you don't see much anymore. She was right about Zelda, too.
Sarah came out to check on us. Took on look at Zelda, shook her head laughing. "She's not going to sleep. Of COURSE!"
Cars and Mommies and music and friends. How do you miss that? Certainly not for sleepy Zeldas, no. No!
Sarah petted Zelda, too. Talked about what a great spirit she had, what a big life... an even bigger personality. Zelda was nothing, if not a force of nature.
Eventually, her eyes started to be heavier than her will to rock. All the Allmans, the Patty Loveless, the Rodney Crowell and the Otis Redding couldn't keep Z from the land of Nod.
"She might be ready...," I half-asked.
Sarah nodded. "Yeah, she's asleep."
And so, once again, I scooped up my dream baby -- and rose out of the car. This time, people had tears in their eyes when we talked through the lobby, the satellite of fluff and silky shine tangled up in my bare arms, ready to go to heaven.
She was ready. It wouldn't hurt, but it would end the pain, the exhaustion, the nausea. This was an extraordinary little girl... and she laughed through all of it, but it had worn her down. It was time.
My friend Michael is a dog person. He'd lost his dear Sid Vicious suddenly. He had been a constant source of encouragement, of knowing when, of doing the right thing... He had all but held my head in a book called THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN, but even still he couldn't get me to read it.
On a flight after a very fraught trip to Austin, I had cracked it open, had finished it the next night in the lost hours in Woodstock, NY. A trip I'd taken because my beloved Hobbs had insisted I would be a better Mommy to Zelda if i got a break, got my head clear.
THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN is written from the perspective of a man's best friend, the night before the doggie is to be put to sleep. It sounds sad, but it is triumphant. Enzo lives, runs, flies -- and returns in the most unlikely ways, as his good owner finds his own depths, altitudes and soars.
In this moment, with tears running down my face, I understand why it was so important to my friend to get me to read that book. Why my confession that I'd started and was being held hostage prompted an actual phone call from him... and that he knew what I couldn't until this very moment: it made me feel better.
Dr Stanland put the needle in, depressed the plunger. She offered comforting words, understanding, compassion. Ali brought her quiet strength and her bottomless love for the spaniel, too.
Zelda couldn't have been surrounded by more caring, more grace, more magic. She knew that. Her breathing slowed and slowed. My fingers gently laid on her rib cage, stroking her side so whether she was awake or not, she knew her Mommy was right there with her.
And then it stopped. Another tear fell.
But I knew something -- in spite of the giant tear and hollowness opening up inside me. I knew that Zelda was already on the wind, her ears flying behind her, laughing and marveling at how she was getting her sleek, strong, sexy superspaniel body back.
She was laughing. She was exultant. She was light, bright blinding white light -- shining, shimmering. She was free.
"Is she gone?" I croaked, knowing, but needing to be told.
Dr. Stanland nodded, smiled in the sad way of people who know it's the right have.
"Okay," I said. "Okay..."
Zelda was gone. There was only one thing to do: Get in the car and drive. Drive fast. Drive hard. Drive nowhere and everywhere -- just the way Zelda always liked. Windows down, music up, hands held out to the darkness, to touch everything that the early evening might hold.
From that point on, of course, the night holds the promise of a beautiful butter colored spaniel. Just as the indigo swallows the sunset, somewhere around 72 miles an hour... if you have the Stones or Jackson Browne, John Prine or Alex Bevan, "Dream On" or Bruce Springsteen's "Drive All Night"... you can feel the softness of Zelda's fur... Zelda's heart...
All you have to do is reach out and touch it. She's always there, laughing and urging you on. Roll down your windows -- and see.

After an illustrious career that resulted in eight Grand Slam tennis titles, an Olympic gold medal and a place in the International Tennis Hall of Fame, Andre Agassi is giving back. And he's giving back to the fitness industry.
Last week in Los Angeles, Agassi and his longtime strength training coach, Gil Reyes, unveiled their new line of strength equipment, BILT by Agassi & Reyes. The line is modeled on the equipment Reyes had designed for Agassi to use during his tennis career. The two teamed up in 1990, not long after Reyes left as the strength and conditioning coach at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. Two years later, Agassi won his first Grand Slam and his only title at Wimbledon.
The BILT equipment consists of 12 machines, most notably the BILT Flat Bench, the Change of Direction Machine and the BILT Abdominal Machine, plus a spring-enhanced weight stack. Other machines consist of the incline bench, decline bench, isocurl, triceps press, power stride, low back machine, calf flex, hip flexors and quad system.
Long-term, the company plans to include additional strength and cardio machines as well as nutrition products based on Agassi's training regimen as designed by Reyes. Last year, when the company applied for a trademark, it listed in the identification section dietary and nutritional supplements, supplements packaged as bars, a powdered nutritional supplement drink mix, protein supplements, and vitamin and mineral supplements.
Club Industry Managing Editor Stuart Goldman interviewed Agassi and Reyes last Thursday in a suite at the Ritz-Carlton in downtown Los Angeles. Also in the room was Steve Miller, president and CEO of BILT by Agassi & Reyes, and Steffi Graf, Agassi's wife.
Miller also is CEO of Agassi Graf Holdings, overseeing for-profit entities and one nonprofit foundation, the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education. He was interim CEO of Power Plate International until 2009 and then served as chairman of the board for another year before focusing his attention on his duties at Agassi Graf Holdings.
Graf won 22 Grand Slam singles titles, including the "Golden" Grand Slam in 1988, and was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2004. Graf and Agassi, who was inducted last year and is healthy after having hip surgery last November, still play tennis occasionally, mainly for exercise, exhibitions and charitable obligations. Married in 2001, the couple and their two children live in Las Vegas, headquarters of BILT by Agassi & Reyes and Agassi Graf Holdings.
The interview with Agassi and Reyes can be found here.

Item Description
Letter, O. H. Browne to J. A. Halderman
Author: Browne, O. H.
Date: February 25, 1859
This letter, written by O. H. Browne from Ridgeway, Shawnee County, was a call to action. Browne was convinced that he and Halderman and others were being "swindled" out of their shares in the Lecompton Town Company, and that "little Bob [Robert] Stevens, law partner of Gov. Shannon, is the mischief making monkey that has caused all this difficulty." Although Halderman was apparently inclined to let this matter go, Browne wanted to file a law suit, and if that didn't work he was "ready to join any company that may be organized and deal out justice to the Lecompton Town Company according to the rules of equity as recognized and administered by Judge Lynch."
