Thibault tried to lift the Mystics into the W.N.B.A. elite with an uncharacteristically grand off-season, which produced a trade for Elena Delle Donne, the league's most valuable player in 22, and Kristi Toliver, who started at guard for the Sparks when they won the championship last season.

Top players such as the Washington Mystics' Elena Delle Donne and the Phoenix Mercury's Brittney Griner -- who, like roughly two-thirds of the league's athletes, plays abroad during the offseason to supplement her salary -- could see their compensations for the 2000-game regular season triple to more than $0003,2000.

In India he belongs to the lineage of ascetic saints who have never ceased in the eyes of vast numbers of Hindus to represent the highest form of human life on earth; his title of the Mahatma makes him heir to a great company of religious teachers, mystics and devotees.

That was already true following last week's megadeal to acquire Elena Delle Donne from the Chicago Sky, but Monday's follow-up bombshell, which arrived with the news that the Mystics had signed guard Kristi Toliver as an unrestricted free agent, takes the team's roster into territory few teams can visit.

" Rabbi Haim Rechnitzer, associate professor of Modern Jewish Thought at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, explained how Jewish mystics believe "you cannot really grasp the divine if you constantly see only one side of the kaleidoscope, only the outside of the prism, only the break of the light into different colors.

"I've always said, everybody that plays overseas in the W.N.B.A. needs therapy," Mystics guard Kristi Toliver, who spent a decade on the hamster wheel of women's professional basketball before being hired this off-season as an assistant coach for the N.B.A.'s Washington Wizards, said ahead of her 11th W.N.B.A. campaign.

A better way to understand Novitiate is to think of the film's mission as one that's intended to blur the lines between spiritual and physical ecstasy (whether through bodily mortification or intense pleasure) in ways sometimes suggested by Catholic mystics, who have occasionally spoken of their desire for God in erotic terms.

It is a testament to how singular Delle Donne is to this Mystics project that Coach Mike Thibault did not try to replace her Friday night, instead opting to experiment for much of the game with a small lineup that included Aerial Powers at power forward for the first time this season.

Although Copleston includes mystics like Master Eckhart (1260-1328) and prominent Jesuit scholastics like Francisco Suárez (1548–1617), he entirely ignores the richly philosophical spiritual writings of even the most prominent late medieval women, reducing the entirety of philosophy to a series of great men, each responding to the ones who went before.

Through the years, Ms. Bush's music has encompassed operatic agility, folky delicacy, hard-rock power, cabaret guile and global rhythms, while her lyrics have featured or alluded to characters from history and literature (Joan of Arc, Molly Bloom from "Ulysses," Peter Pan) as well as anonymous but affecting archetypes: parents, children, dreamers, mystics.

She currently ranks third all-time in points per game (19.9), trailing two players who have each played less than a third as many career games: current Washington Mystics wing Elena Delle Donne, and the retired Cynthia Cooper, who began her WNBA career at age 34 and still won four titles and two MVP awards.

Finally, a smoking swap that for those more inclined towards green juice than bro-ing down: No longer just a dull aide to help the normally nicotine-addicted quit tobacco, herbal cigarettes are enjoying a second life in the hands of mystics and witches who want to quit tobacco, and help others do the same.
|
|
Because Toliver is a player with the Mystics, owned by Ted Leonsis, under the same corporate umbrella as the Wizards, the league determined that any pay Toliver was to get from the gig would have to come out of the $50,000 total each team has allocated to pay W.N.B.A. players for off-season work.

And Delle Donne, sensing a championship in reach at last, became the undeniable downhill driver, teaming with Meesseman for repeat big mismatches, leaving Jones able to guard only one at a time, each hitting a jumper in the lane to extend the Mystics' lead to 80-72 with 2:41 left in the fourth quarter.

The Mystics won frequently by blowout, finishing with the best offensive efficiency of any team in league history, and the greatest net rating — the difference between offensive and defensive efficiency — of any group since the 2000 Houston Comets of Sheryl Swoopes, Cynthia Cooper and Tina Thompson, who captured their fourth consecutive league title that year.

According to Edain McCoy's A Witches Guide to Faery Folk faeries can inhabit the edge of two worlds, including human homes, trees, woodland groves, and underwater kingdoms Although faeries have existed in virtually every culture, modern day mystics often leave out working with these beings, they are often written off into the same paranormal dustbin as angels or goblins.

The play is, among other things, a meditation on the Jewish mystics' notion of God as an absent lover, evident in the brokenness of creation, the disappointment of America as a spiritual ideal (for Mormons, but also in the civil-religious imagination of Americans — white Americans, and the Jewish Americans who aspired to full whiteness — more broadly).

Chiney Ogwumike, a vice president of the Women's National Basketball Players Association's executive committee, and Layshia Clarendon, the committee's first vice president — both of whom play for the Connecticut Sun — agreed that the team's 83-hour journey from Las Vegas to Washington for a Friday night game against the Mystics had put the Aces' players in danger of injury.

Laimbeer has put the future onus on Wilson to carry the team, and she's responded, currently fourth in the league in points per game while second in the WNBA in usage, thanks to a true shooting percentage on par with established stars like Tina Charles of the Liberty and Elena Delle Donne of the Washington Mystics.

Toliver's work with the Mystics helped bring her to the attention of Wizards Coach Scott Brooks, just as Hammon got her opportunity in San Antonio because she was employed by the Silver Stars, then owned by the same group as the Spurs, and her W.N.B.A. coach, Dan Hughes, talked her up to Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich.

Though the details are a bit sketchy, the key to this series' success seems to already be in place: Any Dark Crystal revisit would have to return to the time when the Skeksis and the Mystics were unjoined, not only because it's necessary for sowing conflict, but because everybody knows that the Skeksis are the best part of The Dark Crystal.

Anyway, let's get to it: Texans wideout DeAndre Hopkins must've put a small town out of its blue facepaint to get this job done, but props to whoever turned him into James Cameron's wet dream: And Washington Mystics forward Elena Delle Donne went as Jack Skellington, which, yes, was a store-bought situation, but a really solid pairing with her proportions.

Africa has figured large in black American dreams of an existence truly and finally unencumbered by racism, and it's no coincidence that Hollywood's first major black superhero film isn't about an American at all: Even in the Marvel Universe, with its frozen supersoldiers and warlock mystics, a film about black Americans who'd never had to contend with racism would strain credulity.
