Pranic healing
Pranic healing is a claimed energy healing system developed and promoted by Choa Kok Sui which claims that prana (energy) can heal ailments in the body by manipulation of the person's energy field.[1][2] He states that Pranic healing is like acupuncture and yoga in that it treats the "energy body" which in turn affects the "physical body".[3][4]
Writing in the Times of India, Rajesh Parajapati a student of Pranic Healing claims: "The primary principle of pranic healing is utilising the inherent energy prana or energy of life in all beings for self-healing.[5]
No peer-reviewed evidence or publications (in recognized medical journals) exist to support the claimed results of the practitioners. In 1995, Jack Ruso described the method in the magazine Skeptical Inquirer as "mystical or supernaturalistic".[6]
The Pranic Healing brand-name is a registered trademark of Institute for Inner Studies Inc, a for-profit company founded by Choa Kok Sui, based in Manila.

The machine that shaped California
The glam, and jams, of our car culture; new Santa Barbara photo exhibit captures the good and bad it wrought
Photo exhibit: The "Behind The Wheel" exhibit continues through Aug. 12 at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, 1130 State St. The museum is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. Admission is $9 for adults; $6 for seniors, students with ID and kids ages 6 to 17; museum members and children under 6 get in free. Admission is free for all on Sundays, although donations are suggested.
For more information, call the museum at 963-4364 or visit www.sbma.net.
The car — including its shotgun-riding companion, traffic — is arguably one of the two iconic images of California, the beach being the other.
A new exhibit at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art attempts to tackle the car culture's elephantine presence in the life and psyche of Californians through photographs that range from epic to quirky.
The "Behind The Wheel" exhibit runs through Aug. 12 and features more than two dozen photographs from 19 artists spanning more than 50 years, from the post-World War II boom period into the 21st century.
The state's car culture, with an accent on Southern California, is captured on these walls in all its glories and warts.
The car and the open road it teased at represented freedom and dreams, the possibility and promise that was California. A 1945 Life magazine article noted that with highways connecting modern communities, farms and beautiful scenery, "the Southern Californian has created a way of life that ... has at least some of the elements of a utopia."
The car represented access, leisure and efficiency — and also came to be synonymous with sex, power and glamour.
The car also was a symbol of personal identity and status. Hollywood, from James Dean to Steve McQueen (McQueen is pictured here; Dean is hinted at), solidified these images as it fed the California car culture into theaters and living rooms across the country.
But the car culture also came to mean broken dreams, snarled traffic on a spaghetti-like maze of freeways, smog and, paradoxically, isolation.
The utopian California, which the car helped enable, lured millions here — and undid the utopia to varying degrees. The open road's sense of adventure became bogged down in synchronized traffic lights and wearisome, agonizing commutes.
The enduring love affair with the car and its psychological place in California life, the exhibit notes, can be seen as celebration, critique or even incrimination.
"It's how and what you think about it," said guest exhibit curator Lisa Volpe.
Like it or not, you can't avoid the car culture.
"The modern California wouldn't exist without the car," said Aaron Robinson, a Los Angeles-based technical editor for Car and Driver magazine.
Metropolitan Los Angeles, he noted, sprawls out 100 miles by 100 miles. That dispersal, he added, is not possible without the car. The whole area is built on the assumption that cars will be available.
We're not only stuck in it, we're stuck with it.
"That's why the car is so ingrained in the culture," Robinson said. "It may take us 100 years to undo all of that."
With the Memorial Day-to-Labor Day driving season coming fast upon us and pump prices still well north of $4 a gallon, the exhibit might be fodder to stew on in bumper-to-bumper traffic somewhere.
The exhibit traces the car culture's origins to the 1925 opening of the world's first motel, the Milestone Mo-Tel, in San Luis Obispo along a nascent highway called "the 101." It charged a whopping $1.25 a night for a bungalow with attached garage.
The car culture took off in all sorts of directions. Motels, roadside cafes, drive-in theaters and restaurants, the interstate highway system, suburbia and shopping malls all followed.
The exhibit touches on those cumulative, mammoth effects.
In his "Pictures for Oakland #1," photographer Anthony Hernandez snapped a parking structure. Blink, and the building easily could be taken for a shrine in old Greece or Rome.
"It's about the structures we've built in ode to the car," Volpe said. "It is like an ancient temple."
Echoed Car and Driver's Robinson: "Metropolitan Los Angeles really is a monument to the automobile's effect on modern American living."
The car, offering personalized transportation, "is amazingly efficient. It's remarkably good at what it does," he added.
As the exhibit notes, the car also liberated people from social restraints and boosted a sense of personal empowerment.
It also fostered niche cultures. In Joe Deal's "Malibu Beach, 1978," the two California icons, car and beach, meet. It depicts a camper-car-tent scene.
"Making the drive between Ventura and Santa Barbara today, you still see this," Volpe noted.
The car also was, and still is, a central social gathering point, as in Morrie Camhi's 1977 shot of some Los Vagabundos Club youths next to a long car in a Riverside neighborhood.
"Everyone takes that photo in front of their first car, don't they?" Volpe observed. "It's a rite of passage."
Similarly, Joseph Sterling took a series of photos looking at fast cars and bad boys in his "The Age of Adolescence" series in the late 1950s into the mid-1960s. Sterling went around with a gang, even getting beat up as part of his initiation into it, Volpe noted. The youths in the photo, with arms hanging out and cigarettes in hand, have the looks and the poses.
Or as Volpe put it, "The guys here want to be James Dean."
Dean's "Rebel Without A Cause," from 1955, established him as an icon for a sort of restless, anti-hero youth. Cars played a role; the film has a much-copied drag race scene.
It and 1954's "Johnny Dark" (starring Tony Curtis) helped establish leather jackets, greased hair and custom cars as the cool scene. Later films, such as "Bullitt" — with Steve McQueen in a Mustang in a famous car chase through the streets of San Francisco — and "American Graffiti" also cemented the car culture into the pop culture.
"Steve McQueen driving that Mustang, everyone wanted to emulate that," Robinson said. "The car became an extension of people's personality, or the image they'd like to project."
Already, Volpe has received flak from people about not having an image of McQueen with the Mustang; the one hanging here, from Mel Traxel, has a cigarette-puffing McQueen about to hop on a motorbike as a bystander closely eyes not the star, but the machine.
In "A&W Sunset California" from 1974, photographer Jane O' Neal suggests we are all in a movie when we get behind the wheel. The windshield — seen here at an iconic drive-in restaurant with old-fashioned metallic squawk boxes at each space — is our personal movie screen and we are in the director's seat, controlling and starring in our story.
On the flip side, it's not all stardom and fancifulness.
John Kiewit shot an old, rusting car of the 1930s, missing its wheels and most of its body parts in a field, near Benton in 1997. It's a sad, poignant photo, a nod to bygone times; it can be taken as a symbol of broken dreams in California. Said Volpe: "It's all represented in that car."
Jeffrey Brouws, in his 1991 shot titled "The Myth of Mobility," evoked a similar theme. It shows a well-lit Mobil sign with the open-road juice of gas pumps close, offset by a broken-down vehicle, its hood up, just outside the bright glare.
Michael Butler addressed emotional distancing in a series of shots he took of commuters along Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills in 2009. The tinted glass and glare obscure their faces and act as barriers between driver and viewer; the car acts as cocoon.
One shows a woman driver on a cellphone, eyes looking off intensely somewhere, the struggles of the daily grind written across her face.
The car culture has created isolation, said Robinson. Los Angeles, he added, is one of the most isolated cities in the nation — odd, he noted, with 12 or 13 million people in the metro area.
"No one talks to each other; we don't get a chance to come together," he said.
In New York, he observed, the 700 strangers met in a day are touchable, on the streets or in subway cars. In Los Angeles, it's 700 strangers separated by "a couple thousand pounds of steel and glass."
But we're not left alone in these hermetically sealed environments. Rondal Partridge's "Sign Land" shows an urban street engulfed in billboards, all of them beckoning to the car culture.
Some images delve into humor and oddities.
Jane Gottlieb found an abandoned "Dusty Ford" on Mulholland Drive in a 1999 shot, its body caked in dirt and finger messages; as the exhibit notes, a dirty car often is a target of public censure.
"It's a funny, quirky image," Volpe said.
Jeffrey Aaronson captured every commuter's nirvana, an empty freeway, in his "Driving to Oblivion" series — but it's a sleight of technique. Aaronson used long shutter speeds of about four minutes; the cars are there, but move too quickly to be in the frames.
"He's the opposite of most of us: He finds the daily commute a time of meditation, a relaxing thing," Volpe said.
Elsewhere, Karen O'Hearn suggests that some people treat their cars as preciously as their bodies in a hilarious 1982 photo in which both vehicle and human are covered in tarps; the garage pictured is as big as the house.
Photographers Susan Lakin and Robbert Fick used the car as tripod — Lakin took pictures out of her window at 60 mph as a commentary on how the Southern California landscape for many is experienced from a moving vehicle, and Flick drove 5 mph as he snapped away on Shoreline Drive and Cabrillo Boulevard for an arresting mosaic of car life.
Is there an end to this car culture, this lavish — and slavish — devotion? Some say young people today view the car not as personal identity or status symbol but rather as a useful appliance, like some cookie-cutter washing machine or refrigerator.
Car and Driver's Robinson disagrees, though he noted, "We hear that a lot here, that kids are losing interest in cars."
But he still sees plenty of youths at auto shows, indicating the car culture still has life. As the Santa Barbara exhibit suggests, it has, from joy ride to jam, been a helluva ride.

evidence-informed practice
This report is part of a programme of work by SCIE, the Scottish Institute for Excellence in Social Work Education and the Economic and Social Research Council to develop evidence-based social care by strengthening one of its core disciplines: social work research. The report proposes a framework for assessing the nature and quality of social work research in universities in the UK, and provides a reference point for building research capacity in social work. Report published by the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) in June 2007.
This report looks at what contribution ESRC research programmes make - and might make - to the knowledge base for social work and social care. The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) is the largest single UK funder of social science research. Its role has been significantly expanded in recent years with a view to reinforcing the contribution made by social science to evidence-based policy and practice. Report published by Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) in December 2004.
Case study which describes the use of Talking Mats at Stenhouse Child and Family Centre (Edinburgh City Council) with very young, vulnerable children and their parents.
Talking Mats is a low-tech communication tool originally developed by the Alternative and Augmentative Communication Research Unit to support people with communication impairment including those with stroke, learning disability and dementia.
Project funded by the JISC, which sought to explore whether lay summaries could assist in the wider understanding of health-related information and whether the crowd-sourced lay summary is a feasible mass-production model.
Report that presents the results of a small qualitative study undertaken between February and March 2011. It considers the role of evidence in decision making around risk in social work and what affects this process.
The research aims to shed light on the relationship between evidence and practice wisdom (as an evidence type or integrating vehicle) or professional judgement, and how this relationship shapes decision making.
The social work remodelling project was a pilot programme developed to allow authorities to explore different ways of delivering social work practice. Local authorities were provided with additional resources to attempt to address the deficits they identified in delivering an effective social work offer to children and their families.
Paper that makes the case that prevention science provides a framework for ensuring that prevention initiatives are founded on robust evidence and implemented in a way that will allow progressive growth in knowledge of 'what works' in prevention.
It examines some of the opportunities and challenges in a shift to an evidence-based prevention agenda to improve the lives of children and young people.
Report commissioned to inform current debates on the future delivery of adult services. It reveals a strong body of evidence pointing to the importance of local partnerships, local leadership and outcomes-based commissioning in improving services for the people who need them.
Second independent report to Her Majesty's Government. It proposes two complementary approaches to funding: one is to use current public funding more effectively; the other is to mobilise additional investment from sources outside the public sector.
This will require a new approach to supporting service commissioners, providers and a new cadre of investors.
One of a series of reports providing the social services workforce with brief, accessible and practice-oriented summaries of published evidence on key topics.
Developed through a process of rapid appraisal, Insights seek to highlight the practice implications of research evidence and answer the 'So what does this mean in practice?' question for each topic reviewed.

2.1.4 Output Line Prefix Control
When several prefix fields are to be output, the order is always file name, line number, and byte offset, regardless of the order in which these options were specified.
- '-b'
- '--byte-offset'
Print the 0-based byte offset within the input file before each line of output. If '-o' ('--only-matching') is specified, print the offset of the matching part itself. When
runs on MS-DOS or MS-Windows, the printed byte offsets depend on whether the '-u' ('--unix-byte-offsets') option is used; see below. - '-H'
- '--with-filename'
Print the file name for each match. This is the default when there is more than one file to search.
- '-h'
- '--no-filename'
Suppress the prefixing of file names on output. This is the default when there is only one file (or only standard input) to search.
- '--label=LABEL'
Display input actually coming from standard input as input coming from file LABEL. This is especially useful when implementing tools like
; e.g.:gzip -cd foo.gz | grep --label=foo -H something
- '-n'
- '--line-number'
Prefix each line of output with the 1-based line number within its input file. ('-n' is specified by POSIX.)
- '--initial-tab'
Make sure that the first character of actual line content lies on a tab stop, so that the alignment of tabs looks normal. This is useful with options that prefix their output to the actual content: '-H', '-n', and '-b'. In order to improve the probability that lines from a single file will all start at the same column, this also causes the line number and byte offset (if present) to be printed in a minimum-size field width.
- '-u'
- '--unix-byte-offsets'
Report Unix-style byte offsets. This option causes
to report byte offsets as if the file were a Unix-style text file, i.e., the byte offsets ignore theCR
characters that were stripped. This will produce results identical to runninggrep
on a Unix machine. This option has no effect unless the '-b' option is also used; it has no effect on platforms other than MS-DOS and MS-Windows. - '-Z'
- '--null'
Output a zero byte (the ASCII
character) instead of the character that normally follows a file name. For example, 'grep -lZ' outputs a zero byte after each file name instead of the usual newline. This option makes the output unambiguous, even in the presence of file names containing unusual characters like newlines. This option can be used with commands like 'find -print0', 'perl -0', 'sort -z', and 'xargs -0' to process arbitrary file names, even those that contain newline characters.

Rev3 Triathlon Williamsburg proved that the full swim-bike-run package was needed if the win was to be yours yesterday in Williamsburg. Eric Limkemann, after numerous podiums got that sought after top spot today with a well-rounded effort. His blazing bike split sealed got him to the lead and his steady run held off the chasers.
Kelly Williamson has a hefty resume of race experience and used it yesterday. She was patient and quiet as she crept back from a deficit on the bike to take the win with a stellar run split. She used a solid swim-bike to hold striking distance and then unleashed her characteristic lightening fast run to pass Shapiro in the closing kilometers for the win.
Limkemann took control of the swim and initiated a pronounced gap on the field with Kyle Leto. However, shortly into bike, Leto received a drafting penalty. James Hadley, Richie Cunningham, Richard Allen, Kevin Collington, along with a few others, bunched up early on the bike. Andrew Starykowicz was in a good position out of the water and rode through the pack, along with David Thompson. But, no one was catching Limkemann.
"The swim was pretty tough, so Kyle and I had a larger gap than normal. Once I saw that, I knew it was time to ride hard and make it tough on the runners," Limkemann said.
Limkemann started the run with a 6-minute lead on Cunningham and Thompson. Leto and Starykowicz were next to exit T2, a few minutes ahead of the powerful chase pack, but would not hold the pack off. Cunningham worked his way up to second with the fastest run of the day, passing Thompson, who held on for 3rd. Starykowicz ran steady to grab 5th, while Leto fell out of the top 10.
Local professional Adam Otstot, a Williamsburg teacher and William & Mary Alum finished a solid 10th on the day.
"I loved running through the campus of my alma mater, which gave me confidence, especially on the second loop of the run when things got really tough," Otstot said.
"I've been slowly getting back to form this season and this was the culmination of a lot of hard work and planning. I wanted to do well since it was a local race for me and doing it from the front is really the only way I know how to race," Limkemann said. "I couldn't be happier with the result!"

The women's race was a battle of the short course speedsters and the long course veterans. Williamson led out of the water, with a slim lead on Margie Shapiro. But the swim lead was short lived, as Shapiro charged hard to the front and recorded a stellar 2:19 bike split to give her an extended lead of over 9 minutes on Williamson.
Williamson relied on her renowned threshold run power to methodically cut into Shapiro's lead each kilometer and eventually caught Shapiro in the last kilometer. Shapiro hung on tough for second and Lauren Goss rounded out the podium in third.
"I have learned over the years that for me races are often decided on the bike; minimizing my losses. I knew that I would likely lose some time yesterday at Williamsburg but I just remained calm and patient," Williamson said. "I knew 9 minutes on the run would be very tough but I just put my head down and took it one mile at a time; tried to run strong but not get emotional, and know that a lot would be decided the final couple of miles."

The REV3 Series is tightening up and next heads to Wisconsin Dells for what is sure to be a thrilling race.
"I'm squarely focused on the Rev3 series through Florida then may jump into a late season Ironman. After that, I'll be all in for Knoxville 2014," Limkemann said.
Series contender Goss added, "It was so exhilarating to race at a venue with such history. …I hope I'll be back at Rev 3 Williamsburg next year to make my own history. I love this particular race and the entire series because of the challenging courses and welcoming environment. I am looking forward to racing in the Olympic distance race in Wisconsin Dells! Much more my style!"

Let's face it, winter starts to feel endless this time of year, and what better antidote for a chilly mood than lots of laughs.
You can count on the Twin Cities Jewish Humor Festival to provide some relief when it opens on Friday. For the fifth year in a row, the Sabes Jewish Community Center in Minneapolis is hosting a Fringe-like festival of humor featuring one-person shows, stand-up comedy, workshops, film and additional events showcasing Jewish performers and presenters.
The weekend opens with stand-up comedy from Wendy Hammers with Laura Thorne (7:30 p.m. Saturday) and Jessica Kirson with Plucky Rosenthal (7:30 p.m. Sunday). Other events include performances by Hassidic comedian and actor Mendy Pellin (Jan.
23) and Cathy Ladman (Jan. 25); a laughter yoga workshop (Jan. 26); "Mish Mash!" with ventriloquist Jonathan Geffner (Jan. 26); a screening of the film "When Jews Were Funny" (Jan. 29); a presentation by Mark Cohen, the author of "Overweight Sensation: The Life and Comedy of Allan Sherman" (Jan. 30); and "The Observant Rabbi: An Evening of Observations From the Twin Cities' Inappropriate Rabbi Sim Glaser" (Feb. 1).Most of the events take place at Sabes JCC, 4330 S. Cedar Lake Road, Minneapolis. Tickets range from $8 to $18, available at sabesjcc.org or 952-381-3499. -- Amy Carlson Gustafson

Blast from the past...
This is Obelix, from Asterix et Obelix, a French comic book that I used to read as a kid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterix). Alain Levy, an instructor at the CIA as well as a good friend of mine, was looking to unload a few molds from his past days as a chocolatier. At first I told him I wasn't interested, but then he told me what he had, and this was one of the molds. I had to have it! He was kind enough to give it to me as a gift. It is about 10 inches tall x 6 inches wide. Now, there is no special technique here, there is nothing new that is going to change the way we think about pastry. This is simply a chocolate figurine that I really liked.
I have to say that, even though not a single person in my shop knew who he was, it seemed to cheer people up. How could you possibly be in a bad mood with a guy like Obelix around?

Funny. I remember he drank that secret elixir what made him really strong. He liked these cone shaped stones right? Good memories.
ReplyDelete Nosotros teniamos una coleccion entera de libros de Asterix y Obelix (Y Tintin y Mortadelo y Filemon... un monton!). Que sorpresa encontrarlos aqui!
Gracias por incluir mi blog en tu list. Soy una gran admiradora de tu libro Frozen Desserts y de hecho, el helado de "Leche Quemada" es uno de mis preferidos.

Need info on best way to embed with US troops in Iraq later this year. Presently an indie in US. Suggestions of all types appreciated (who to approach, how, what applications, costs, sponsors, etc.).

Yes, letter of accreditation/assignment is necessary, proof of hostile environment training is not. As far as cost goes, aside from armor and any additional equipment you may need, 90% of your expense will be flying round trip from Denver to Kuwait City.
Good luck and stay safe..

Here's one for the irony department: Don Hassig, a Green Party candidate for Congress against Rep. Bill Owens, wasn't able to make it to a news conference today because his van was out of commission.
The problem? The 2001 Chevy failed a state emissions inspection.
"According to my mechanic, it will need about one hundred dollars in parts and labor to get it right," Mr. Hassig said in an email. "I am happy to operate a vehicle that meets NYS requirements for emissions. Its an improvement upon the old days when vehicle emissions were not given much consideration."
Mr. Hassig's organization, Cancer Action Network, agitates for what he describes as Kick[butt] Revolution.
He started his description of an arrest in St. Lawrence County thusly: "I began to dance for environmental revolution in the main hallway of the courthouse."
The election is Nov. 6. The news conference, which was held via telephone conference call, discussed hydrofracking and access to healthy food.

Published: May 14, 2010 40 tonnes of sand added to Burnham beach following erosion
40 tonnes of new sand was added onto Burnham-On-Sea beach on Friday (May 14th) in a bid to replace sand that has been swept away during recent weeks.
Contractors working for Sedgemoor District Council used tractors and diggers to spread the new material onto the beach at the northern end of The Esplanade, as pictured here.
Burnham's Resort Manager, Graham Newing, confirmed to Burnham-On-Sea.com that the work was underway, and played down concerns about erosion.
"It's the nature of our coastline that we have to replace sand every now and then," he said.
"We've brought in 40 tonnes of new sand from Dunball today, which has been spread around the Allandale Road and Maddock's Slade areas."
The work follows a series of high tides in recent weeks when sand has been washed away, exposing large parts of the walls at several beachfront properties.
Burnham-On-Sea.com was first to report in March how one Burnham resident had raised concerns about the amount of sand being washed off the town's beach - he warned that the problem could worsen with the removal of the boating pool, which was recently demolished by Sedgemoor District Council.

The effects of chemical order on the vibrational entropy have been studied using first-principles and semi-empirical potential methods. Pseudopotential calculations on the Pd_3V system show that the vibrational entropy decreases by 0.07k_B upon disordering in the high-temperature limit. The decrease in entropy contradicts what would be expected from simple bonding arguments, but can be explained by the influence of size effects on the vibrations. In addition, the embedded-atom method is used to study the effects of local environments on the entropic contributions of individual Ni and Al atoms in Ni_3Al. It is found that increasing numbers of Al nearest neighbours decreases the vibrational entropy of an atom when relaxations are not included. When the system is relaxed, this effect disappears, and the local entropy is approximately uniform with increasing number of Al neighbours. These results are explained in terms of the large size mismatch between Ni and Al. In addition, a local cluster expansion is used to show how the relaxations increase the importance of long-range and multisite interactions.

Light Arduino Robotic Shield
Our shield that we designed with Eagle arrived today from batchPCB.com.
We have to test it out yet to make sure it works properly. I was just excited to show the progress. This is basically what we designed on the protoboard from our autonmous robot.
By lordofthedonuts @ Tue, 2009-02-17 03:41
it could be useful on the robot i'm building, great!
don't forget to update whenthey will available for shipping!
By lordofthedonuts @ Mon, 2009-02-16 06:00
It maybe a dumb question but
It maybe a dumb question but what does it do ?
By robologist @ Sun, 2009-02-15 18:23
Nice board!
It appears to bring out a few pins to 3 pin headers, guessing ground, power, signal. And an added regulator, and a buzzer/speaker, and LED. Can you talk about why you designed it the way you did, what choices you made?

Basically I live life to the fullest and I...
Basically I live life to the fullest and I enjoy living. Healthy living in moderation is a good tool for me. Don't get me wrong its good to a bad once and a while. I enjoy the outdoors (especially the mountains), traveling, weekend adventures, laughing, socializing with quality company, and sharing memories with the people around me. I have been very successful in my career, I have conquered many obstacles, and achieved most of my goals and ambitions. I feel I am finally to the point where I have enough confidence in myself that I can now focus on finding my better half. I recently moved back to the Houston area from San Francisco after being away for 12 years, and how I have missed that southern hospitality. A little about me: I am a driven, motivated, visionary, goal oriented, playful, witty, passionate, caring, loving, wild, adventurous, out spoken, amazingly awesome Person. Please inquire if you would like to know more... ;) My Partner: I am looking for an independent, fun, energetic, and positive woman. The kind of girl that has great balance in her life, but on occasion likes to turn off her phone to hang out. Wild spur of the moment adventures are always a plus. She needs to enjoy a healthy fun lifestyle, and enjoy sports/outdoor activities. The weekends are my playtime and I would like someone to enjoy them with me. I am searching for that girl that will challenge me intellectually, physically, and support me when life throws me lemons. (I will do the same for her) The girl who I can bring home to mom, and yet who is not afraid to express herself. Communication is key to a successful relationship, so if you are a passive aggressive please do not message me. If you made it this far, I would like to hear from you. Thanks for reading.

When the season began, Wauwatosa East girls track and field coach Nancy Braidigan didn't know what to expect from her squad. But before the year was over, the Red Raiders displayed plenty of nice surprises.
"There are no words to describe this season," she said. "In the beginning I was kind of thinking whatever will be will be. We lost a core group of sprinters/jumpers, a few major distance runners, still didn't have a full varsity squad in all events, had two new coaches on staff and I just wasn't sure where we would be."
But Braidigan's returnees applied what they went through last spring and came up with some nice performances.
"You always hope that the returning kids will take what they learned from the season before and apply themselves just a little more to reach whatever goals they have set for themselves," she said. "I think a majority of our varsity kids did just that and some of the newcomers either had a good base or a great work ethic to really do well.
"It was a little bit of a rocky start with some of the performances and injuries, but the girls really fought back and worked out whatever it was they needed either mentally or physically."
As a result, Braidigan had trouble picking out what was the brightest moment.
"It is hard to say which was the highlight," she said. "Obviously, state was the big stage and the outcome was really exciting, yet at sectionals the vibe was just so awesome. The girls were pulling for each other like I have never seen before, watching each other compete and congratulating each win and/or ticket to state with a big scream and hug. It is just hard to describe that day."
Tosa East took 10 girls in eight events to state this year, the most Braidigan has taken in her 13 years.
"And I am pretty sure (that is) the most East has had up at state for many years before me," she said. "I am pretty certain that placing 16th overall is the best showing in 20 years. Not enough people understand the track and field world and how amazing these girls really did at state, so hopefully they understand and can be extremely proud of themselves and their accomplishments."
The Red Raiders had plenty of individual highlights.
Both senior Claire Gordee and sophomore Natalie Schudrowitz were all-state performers and were the Red Raiders' Most Valuable (track) performers.
The Most Valuable (field) performer was Hailey Krahn, while the Most Improved athletes were Jordy Schmidt and Lauren Dillon. The winner of the Coaches Award was Bethel Assefa.
The GMC Scholar Athletes were Assefa, Maddie Fisher, Nicole Kashian, Andrea Schaefer and Emma Watson and the captains were Assefa, Fisher and Gordee.
This year's conference champions were Schudrowitz in the indoor mile, two-mile, outdoor mile and two-mile and part of the distance medley, an amazing stretch for someone who was running for the first time in her career.
Gordee was a champion in the outdoor 200 and part of the distance medley; Schmidt and Kashian were part of the distance medley.
Braidigan will lose Assefa, Kashian, Fisher, Gordee, Cali Castaneda and Shelby Lang to graduation.
"They all were a very important part of this team throughout the season," she said. "They will be missed dearly and it will be hard to fill their shoes next year because of their talents and efforts.
"The senior ladies are a great example for the underclassmen. Each one of those girls worked hard each of the four years they were on the team and each one of them had major success this season. It is a true testament of the results you get with hard work and dedication."
