Hanshi Pete Siringano Sr.
November 6th, 2004 marked the 10th anniversary of the passing of my Father and Sensei, Hanshi Pete Siringano Sr.
In the 10 years since his passing, the Martial Arts World has lost many other equally stellar Hanshis. In my conversations with other Inheritors of their respected Systems, I have observed the following.
When the Soke of any
System passes on, there is first; the mourning period. Black belt and student
members come "out of the woodwork" to pay their respects. Recalling the
"good old days" when the Dojo was a new and important thing in their
lives, and the Spartan training sessions which they endured.
Then, there is a lot of "If it's okay, can I come back to the Dojo and finish what I started years ago?" Many swear unending loyalty to the System and to the new Inheritor.
But, there are also those who are already plotting and scheming even before the Soke has been laid to rest. Phone calls are made and meetings arranged by individuals who will not allow themselves to be a student or black belt to anyone but the man who first accepted them into the Dojo. Even if, and in some cases especially if, the Inheritor is the Soke's Son and highest ranked Black Belt in the System.
Instead of accepting
that the "torch has been passed" and building an allegiance with the
Inheritor, thereby helping the System to grow and flourish, these individuals
choose to break away. They claim that they "can't learn any more" or
"don't want to serve under anyone."
But, they would NEVER have told this to their departed Soke when he was alive.
Everybody gets brave after the man is dead.
Those of you reading this who are Inheritors, know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
Those of you reading this who are grinding your teeth and cursing me, the truth is a $#&!, isn't it?
I will not mention
any names or Systems here. As, unfortunately, MANY individuals from MANY Systems
have done this in the last 10 years.
Martial Arts is SUPPOSED to teach humility as one of its virtues. But where is the humility when students of lesser rank decide that they know more than those placed in positions of higher rank by their Soke, and then after he's dead, form their own "Systems" and make themselves whatever rank they feel they deserve?
Everybody gets brave after the man is dead.
One Inheritor from another well respected System said of the people who broke away from him, "They know WHAT they are and what they are PRETENDING to be. And if my Soke were still alive, he'd break their legs." Knowing his late Soke, I concur.
My Father was a very trusting man when it came to his students. He gave 100% and then some. A lot of students took advantage of his name and status in the Martial Art World. They would be nowhere without his name recognition. One just had to say they were with Pete Siringano or show up with him at a Tournament or Dinner, and you were shown respect.
He allowed many his black belt students to open their own Dojos, and never took a dime.
He held Sunday Clinics for the Black Belts once a month for YEARS, and never took a dime.
Yet, when he was ill and needed financial assistance with the medical bills, these same individuals refused to contribute a dollar a month per student to help. This is how much they "LOVED" this man. Some of these people didn't even visit him when he was on his death-bed. This was also the "straw that broke the camel's back" as far as he was concerned. And in his observant eyes, the writing was on the wall.
I count myself as one of the very fortunate individuals on this planet that I was born into the Martial Arts. I had one of the BEST Senseis and role models that ever lived. I was doubly blessed in that he was also my Father. I remember the many workouts we had after everyone had left the Dojo for the night, and at our home. He taught me MANY things and techniques that he would otherwise have taken with him to the grave.
I have not deviated one iota from his teachings and techniques. If it ain't broke .....
I wish my students
who didn't know him could have had the honor. My students that DID know him,
remember him with reverence and respect.
They have remarked many times, "Like Father, Like Son." I consider that an honor.
In the 10 years since his passing my life has changed as well. I have children of my own. My Son is already training and hopefully will be the next Soke of the System one day. My Father would be proud that I, like so many others who bore the responsibility of Inheriting a System, weathered the winters of discontent.
Dad, I miss you and I will continue the work which you began back in 1956 with Honor and in the Spirit Of Bushido.
God Bless You.
Your Loving Son and Students.

Founded in 1999 by Martin Kenwright and Ian Hetherington, Evolution Studios has quickly become one of the premier British video game developer companies, so much so that they were acquired by Sony in 2007. With significant experience in producing a range of racing video games, the company was chosen to lead the line with one of the highly touted games for the new generation PlayStation 4 console with the release of DriveClub.
Workwear Express were approached by Sony Evolution Studios in 2013 to produce a number of printed t-shirts that will be used as part of the promotional campaign in the run-up to the release of the DriveClub video game. The games' developers required the t-shirts to have a colour scheme which effectively related to the game, denoting different colours for different designs, while also containing printed designs which effectively communicated the concept of the game; speed. They also needed the t-shirts producing in time for the various promotional events they had scheduled.
Workwear Express selected a range of printed t-shirts that contained the specific colours that Sony Evolution Studios were looking for. Our artwork department then placed each of the different designs the company had provided on to a digital representation of the t-shirts. These were then sent through to the company for approval. Once printed, each of the t-shirts were placed through an industrial drier to ensure a perfect, long-lasting application before being packaged and delivered to their premises in Runcorn, Cheshire. Sony Evolution Studios were very happy with the t-shirts and so were the fans with a second order for more t-shirts being placed later that same year.

October is national car-share month. Car sharing isn't about shared vehicle ownership, but is when two or more people share a journey to the same destination. Some people have made it a regular practice for their daily commute to work; others use it for infrequent travel such as going to a festival or visiting friends in other parts of the country.
Gill started car sharing two years ago when she changed jobs to work at a new out-of-town office location which is not well served with public transport options, and the company had limited allocated car parking spaces. The company had introduced a preferential car parking policy for car sharers, and had set up a car- sharing scheme enabling employees to find someone else who either lived nearby or along the same route. Despite some initial apprehensions about sharing a journey with a stranger, Gill soon realised many of the benefits of this new way to get to work. "Although the trip was still taking exactly the same time, it seemed to pass so much quicker with someone else to chat to, and I soon became good friends with my car- share buddy. The financial benefits were also very quickly noticed. We had chosen to take it in turns at driving alternate weeks, and so soon I was only filling up with petrol once a month and saving over £50!"
Her husband was surprisingly impressed with how well it had worked out so he also car shares with a colleague who lives nearby from time to time, but as his working hours are more unpredictable he tends to do it less regularly.
You don't have to own a car to become a lift sharer. Many people are happy to drive, but then to share the costs of fuel and parking with someone else going their way.
So how do you find someone to share your journey if your company doesn't have its own scheme? TravelWest.info (the travel website for the West of England) can help introduce you to your lift-share buddy on-line. It is an easy-to-use website. Simply enter your home postcode and the postcode of your destination, together with the times you wish to make that journey, and it will identify people doing the same journey so that you can get in contact with each other direct to make necessary arrangements to meet up. You will also be notified whenever anyone new signs up who is seeking to do the same journey. You can find frequently asked questions about car sharing answered on travelwest.info.
So why not give it a go this month? If you were to car share for only one day each www.travelwest.info week it would take another car off the road, helping to reduce congestion and reducing our carbon footprints across the West.
We've got 10 pairs of TravelWest travel mugs to give away so you and your car-share buddy could enjoy a steaming coffee over the winter months as you travel together. Simply tell us about your journey and why you love to share it, and the winners will be selected at random on 31st October 2013. To enter, email email@example.com with 'TravelWest' in the subject line and your journey sharing story and full contact details in the email body. Good luck!

Wokingham Local Plan Consultation
*****2 days left to save Twyford / Ruscombe - You need to act NOW to prevent mass house building*****
Wokingham Borough Council have plans to build 3,500
houses around Twyford and Ruscombe. The vast majority of these are on greenbelt
areas. Planning laws should prevent the greenbelt being built upon in this
situation BUT unless we all act now Wokingham Borough Council will build here
regardless of the laws.
*****To date I understand there have been few response
from our area. To my mind, this does not reflect the strength of feeling
I see in the community. As simplistic as it sounds, if we do not get
enough responses voicing against the development, WBC will see this as a green
light to concrete the area. It is that important and that clear cut. *****
All members of a household can complete a separate questionnaire. This includes children. The more responses the better.
Please help stop the mass development of Twyford and Ruscombe and our beautiful green belt areas. This is your opportunity to really play a part in stopping this. Please don't dismiss the impact you can have.

2018 CROW Pond Cleaning
Ruscombe's Ponds
Ruscombe's Wildlife Ponds - October 2015
At its meeting on 7th October Ruscombe Parish Council recorded its gratitude for the excellent pond conservation work done by CROW (Conserve Reading on Wednesdays) during August and September which included the difficult task of clearing the willow from Ruscombe Pond situated at the crossroads where Stanlake Lane meets Ruscombe Lane / Waltham Road.
A similar clearance of the Castle End Road pond was carried out by the local conservation volunteers FORWOOD (Friends of Ruscombe Wood).
The network of small wildlife ponds is a fine feature of the Ruscombe landscape. The work done to maintain them by conservation volunteers (particularly FORWOOD, all year round) is invaluable.
Wokingham Borough Council has decided to withdraw this amenity service throughout the Borough with immediate effect. New government regulations requiring the separation of waste, along with safety issues at some locations, make it no longer practical.
Ruscombe Parish Council has objected strongly to the sudden withdrawal, which means that the already scheduled visits to Crest Close in February and March will NOT now take place.
The regular weekly household refuse collection, and the fortnightly green waste collection, will remain unchanged.
The alternative way of rubbish disposal is to visit the two local refuse sites:
Longshot Lane, Bracknell, RG12 1RL
Smallmead, Island Road, Reading RG2 0RP
For large household items, if you cannot visit one of these sites, you can arrange a collection from Veolia (WBC's contractor). There is a charge for this service, although the collection of fridges and freezers only is FREE to Pensioners.
When needed, please contact Veolia on 0118 909 9360 or e-mail email@example.com
For more information on all refuse related issues, please either ring Wokingham Direct on 0118 974 6000 or consult www.wokingham.gov.uk/rubbish
Wokingham Remembers: Events to Commemorate WW1
Ruscombe Parish Council is involved in a project initiated by Wokingham Town Council to commemorate the first world war centenary. The project is being funded by the National Lottery and involves a borough wide heritage trail of local war memorials. The Memorial Trail launches on the 14th September 2014, which coincides with Wokingham town's heritage day. The exhibitions banners will be available to view after that date. More details of events and the heritage trail can be found on Wokingham Town Council's website: http://www.wokingham-tc.gov.uk/heritage.
A brochure with information about each war memorial has been produced and is available to view online at http://issuu.com/wokingham_tc/docs/heritage_memorial_trail_brochure_is/1. Hardcopies will be available to collect from St James Church.
Below is a map showing the locations of all of the war memorials in the heritage trail.

At a time when the role of lobbyists and special interests are at issue in the presidential campaign, Senator John McCain leaves Tuesday on a trip to Colombia, where a senior adviser to him has long had business and political ties.
Since 1998, the lobbying firm headed until recently by Charlie Black, one of Mr. McCain's closest confidants, has earned more than $1.8 million representing the Occidental Petroleum Corporation, the leading foreign producer of gas and oil in Colombia. The lobbying firm, BKSH & Associates, has also represented Colombian textile and apparel manufacturers and a former foreign minister and presidential candidate who is also a prominent businesswoman.
According to official filings, Mr. Black, who resigned as chairman of BKSH in March, lobbied Congress, the State Department and the White House on Occidental's behalf regarding "general energy issues" and "general trade issues" involving Colombia. His list of activities also included winning "foreign assistance for Colombia" and efforts to block an economic embargo against the country, which has a questionable human rights record.
"Though he did not have high visibility, we encountered his shadow often," said Larry Birns, director of the Council on Hemispheric Affairs, an advocacy group that monitors Latin American human rights and political issues from Washington.
Mr. McCain is making the trip in part to highlight his support for a free-trade agreement with Colombia that the Bush administration wants to see approved by Congress by year's end. The senator, a strong free-trade advocate, has spoken in favor of the accord on the campaign trail.
His presumed Democratic opponent, Senator Barack Obama, opposes the deal and frequently cites it in campaign speeches as an example of what he sees as the administration's wrongheaded trade policies. Mr. Obama has expressed environmental and human rights concerns, including what he describes as the Colombian government's repression of labor unions.
Mr. Black has recently been at the center of campaign controversy over an interview, published in June by Fortune magazine, in which he said that another terrorist attack on the United States would benefit Mr. McCain's candidacy. The McCain campaign declined to make him available to discuss his lobbying activities on behalf of Colombia for BKSH.
"The campaign has no connection to that firm and therefore no connection to the questions you are asking," said Tucker Bounds, a campaign spokesman.
Occidental's activities in Colombia have long been controversial, both within that country and among human-rights, indigenous-rights and environmental groups abroad. The groups have accused the company of complicity in the killing of peasants thought to be sympathetic to the left-wing guerrilla groups that operate in the area where Occidental has pipelines or drilling activities. They have also blamed Occidental for the polluting of rural areas and have accused it of intimidating Indian tribes seeking to prevent drilling on their ancestral lands.
Occidental has long denied the accusations, maintaining that its practices are environmentally sound and describing its critics as unrepresentative.
The most controversial episode dates from December 1998, when the Colombian Air Force dropped cluster bombs on Santo Domingo, a village near an Occidental pipeline, killing 18 people. Human rights groups and Colombian government officials say the bombing was a mistake that occurred because three employees of a Florida-based aerial security company employed by Occidental to monitor guerrilla movements had provided incorrect coordinates to the Colombian military pilots.
The American employees of the security company dropped out of sight, and Colombian government efforts to have them handed over for questioning and perhaps trial were fruitless. Frustrated by what they consider the security company's stonewalling, human rights groups filed suit in California in 2003 and 2004 against Occidental, whose headquarters is in Los Angeles.
Occidental has denied any responsibility for the bombing of Santo Domingo, saying when the first suit was filed that it "has not and does not provide lethal aid to Colombia's armed forces."
Even as the Santo Domingo attack became a cause célèbre among human rights groups in Washington, as well as some lawmakers there, Congress approved a special appropriation of nearly $100 million for the protection of oil pipelines in Colombia in 2003, when Mr. Black's firm was lobbying on Occidental's behalf.
Atossa Soltani, executive director of Amazon Watch, a human rights group that works on behalf of Colombian Indian tribes opposed to oil drilling and pipelines on their lands, said Mr. Black was also "very active" while Congress was debating a $1.3 billion military assistance package to Colombia that became law in 2000. "We'd be making the rounds in Congress," Ms. Soltani said, "and Oxy would be there making the rounds, too."
Occidental has come under fire as well in connection with the 2003 killing of three Colombian labor leaders who were initially and erroneously said to be affiliated with one of the guerrilla groups that regularly attack Occidental's installations. Three Colombian soldiers, all of them members of a special unit that guards an Occidental pipeline, were charged with murder.

Life apart ended with terror in desert chase
Troy Lennon; 2/3/10
The documentary "Contact", screening on the ABC (Australia)_ on Thursday, looks at the moment that first contact took place between the last wandering band of Martu Aborigines and white people in the West Australian deserts less than 50 years ago. In 1946, the Australian government had announced plans to establish a rocket- testing range at Woomera in South Australia, with a target zone in Western Australia. But right in the path of the rockets were thousands of hectares of land still inhabited by bands of nomadic Aborigines. In the '40s the government appointed a native patrol officer, Walter MacDougall, whose job was to make sure no people lived in the rocket target zone. MacDougall had to cover a vast, arid area – an easy place for people to hide. He cleared many of the people out but even after more than a decade, some still remained.
The Daily Telegraph; No Internet Text
In 1964 the rocket program moved into a new phase, the testing of Blue Streak rockets. Once intended as launch vehicles for ballistic missiles, they would now carry communications satellites. The area where the rockets would land was riddled with sacred Aboriginal sites, some sacred to the Martu people, dedicated to Yimiri, the rainmaking serpent. It was around here they lived oblivious to the encroachment of Western civilisation. Yuwali, a 17-year-old girl among a group of 20 women and children, had heard her father speak of white men but had never seen one and had no idea what they actually were.
An oil exploration team in the area saw evidence of Aborigines in April 1964, right in the middle of what would be the dump zone for rockets on re-entry. MacDougall set out on a patrol into the area to see if he could get the Aborigines out of harm's way.
He found abandoned camp sites and set off in pursuit of the group, but they proved elusive. As MacDougall's group approached, Yuwali saw their trucks and thought a rock had come alive. The Aborigines feared they would be eaten by the strangers. They managed to elude the chasers. The band of women and children had been living without men for three years. Yuwali's father had left with three of his wives, abandoning two remaining wives and several other clan members.
The rocket launch was due in May; MacDougall and his team were now racing against time as they kept trying to find the last Aborigines in the area.
Yuwali and her family appealed to Yimiri for protection from the "devils" and seemingly miraculously the heavens opened, delaying the rocket launch and making progress difficult for the patrol in their trucks.
Although the small Martu band remained in the wilderness, the launch went ahead. Fortunately the rocket went off course, was blown up and dropped well short of the dump zone.
The next launch was scheduled for October, so MacDougall planned another patrol for September, taking Aboriginal guides Sailor and Nyani, who spoke the Martu language. The guides made contact and enticed Yuwali and her family to come out of hiding in late September. MacDougall filmed the moment of contact.
It is part of the documentary. Yuwali was given meat to eat but thought it tasted strange and suspected it was either poison or faeces. The Martu were also given clothes. They were tied together so that they wouldn't run back into the bush. They were terrified as they witnessed the rocket launch from the edge of the dump zone.
The older women in the group, Nyipi, Yukurrpani and Karntipa, decided that rather than stay in the wild without men, they were better off going with the white men. They were taken to Jigalong mission where other people who had also been removed from the land had been taken. They were told to forget the old ways and were introduced to Western culture.
The rocket program began to wind down in 1967 and was cancelled in the '70s. The Martu regularly return to visit their ancestral lands.

Quetzalcoatl is a giant bird kaiju created by TriStar Pictures that first appeared in the Godzilla: The Series episode "Bird of Paradise."
Quetzalcoatl's name comes from a feathered serpent deity from Aztec mythology.
Godzilla: The Series
"Bird of Paradise"
Quetzalcoatl was discovered in the Southern point of Mexico and at first, only attacked small villages for material in order to build a nest. H.E.A.T goes down to Mexico to investigate and soon meet Lawrence Cohen, the man who originally discovered the giant bird. While traveling up the side of an old ruin, the group is attacked by Quetzalcoatl. Luckily, Monique was able to fend the creature off by making a small eruption come from the ground after firing her gun into one of the pockets of lava. Once again, Quetzalcoatl attacked while the group searched for her. The tranquilizers fired failed to penetrate her body and a new plan of using deadly scorpion poison was thought of.
Quetzalcoatl moved onto attacking another town and began to tear the place to shreds by using her massive talons. Nick fired the poison shot, but missed, and Quetzalcoatl snatched up Elsie in her claws. The creature took Elsie back to her nest where she would act as food for the newborn Quetzalcoatls.
While climbing up the side of the mountain to save Elsie, the group was once again attacked by the Quetzalcoatl. N.I.G.E.L. was sent up to signal Godzilla, and just after sending the signal, the robot was destroyed by the bird. Before Quetzalcoatl could kill the team, Godzilla arrived to fight. After saving Elsie from the baby creatures, Cohen and Elsie were saved by the other members of H.E.A.T. Soon afterwards, Godzilla rammed Quetzalcoatl into her nest and began using his beam on the rock walls, causing a rock slide. The land beneath the nest began to give way and Quetzalcoatl and her babies were sent into the stream of lava beneath, never to be seen again.
The adult Quetzalcoatl could emit a deadly stream of fire and balls of flame from her mouth, and was covered with a special type of skin made of silicon that allowed her to be unaffected by the hottest of temperatures.

- Quetzoalcoatl is most likely a reference to the movie Q: The Winged Serpent, which had a similar plot to the episode it appeared in and was directed by Larry Cohen (whose last name is shared by a character in the episode).
- While Quetzalcoatl's origins are never disclosed, she bears a striking resemblance to the Hoatzin, suggesting she may be a mutation. She also very closely resembles the bird-like dinosaur genus Archaeopteryx.
- Quetzalcoatl may be inspired by the Firebird from the Hanna-Barbera Godzilla cartoon, which was another giant female bird monster with an affinity for fire and volcanoes that battled Godzilla while trying to create its nest.
- Quetzalcoatl shares her name with an unseen Titan in Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

Ask any mineral collector to name a classic mineral locality or region in Britain and they will probably think of Cornwall or Devon, perhaps Weardale in Co Durham, or even the Caldbeck Fells or the West Cumbrian iron mining district in Cumbria – but probably not Wales. This is not to say that Wales has no classic minerals, but is perhaps a reflection of collecting habits and the preference for large, brightly coloured crystals.
Wales has a long history of mining dating back to, at least, the Bronze Age, but, unlike some other regions, there does not appear to have been a desire by miners to extract mineral specimens for sale. Indeed, a network of mineral dealers, as was clearly present in Cornwall during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, was totally absent in Wales.
One factor is that the establishment of a National Museum in Wales occurred relatively late (in 1907) and did not open to the general public until the 1920s. Before this, there was no central repository for specimens collected in Wales and, consequently, mineral collections with historical significance are rare in the Principality.
The university colleges founded during the 1870s and 1880s built up their own academic collections. Earlier still, the Royal Institute of South Wales (founded in Swansea in 1835), established geological collections, but its focus appears (from what records remain) to have been wide ranging and not specific to Wales. Therefore, during the heyday of mining in Wales, the lack of one overall institution focussing on the mineralogy of Wales appears to have resulted in a dearth of specimens being preserved.
Some historic Welsh material exists in older collections based in England, for example, the Natural History Museum in London, but, compared with other British mining regions, the number and quality of specimens is limited. Since its foundation, the National Museum of Wales has, acquired a number of private and academic collections containing old-time Welsh mineral specimens. This has clearly helped our understanding of Welsh mineralogy. Unfortunately, as with many old collections, provenance details are often vague or entirely absent.
What is a classic mineral?
In general, some experience is required to appreciate the minerals that occur in the Principality. In addition, to assess which Welsh minerals are 'classics', we must first decide what actually constitutes a 'classic mineral'. Is it merely a case of something that is very old or maybe something of exceptional beauty? Perhaps, it could be a particular association or assemblage of minerals characteristic to a locality. A classic mineral is difficult to define and different collectors may have different opinions.
The most important factor is surely aesthetics. Attractive minerals are popular and remembered more than rare minerals that may be ugly. However, size is also important. Larger crystals get noticed more than smaller equivalents and, if a particular mineral represents the largest example ever discovered, it will certainly feature as a classic.
Type locality specimens, or those from the original locality of discovery for a species, are considered important and may also be termed 'classics'. So to are minerals of particular cultural significance. In these cases, being attractive is not a prerequisite to being a 'classic'.
The age of a specimen, or when it was discovered, quite often affects a collector's opinion. Those minerals of historical significance often get described as 'classics', even though (physically) they may be no different to another discovered more recently.
Clearly, a large number of minerals will fall into one of these categories, but the real classics are those that satisfy several of these criteria. For the purposes of this article, a selection of classic minerals from Wales is described chronologically and not necessarily in order of importance.

I'm a very private person. That might be a bit odd to hear, considering I have a blog and a Twitter account, but what I share on this blog and on Twitter is nothing I wouldn't want people to know. I know what to share and what not to share, and it puzzles me when other people don't have that same understanding. I think some people give away too much information about themselves online, and I don't mean Social Security numbers or the routing number for their bank accounts, but do we need to see photos of your children all the time? Your house? Your family? Do you have to share where you are, every waking moment of the day? I think some apps are more harmful than helpful, honestly. If an unscrupulous sort of person were to keep tabs on your Twitter feed, they might be able to deduce your exact schedule from day to day, knowing precisely when you're not home…or when you're home alone.
I'm just saying.

In short, beta-flare is purple glow caused by radiation above a nuclear power plant. It can't be seen with naked eye because of bright industrial lights those facilities have (after there was several eye witnesses in the 70's so this freaky sight had to be covered up) but even modest digital camera is able to bring it forth in right conditions. Here are some pictures:
Beta-flare derives from extensive radiation emissions causing ionization. When atoms neutralise, they radiate UV which excites the oxygen and nitrogen atoms and molecules to send their respective wavelength of visible light. O2 red, N2 blue. Works like northern lights or fluorescent bulb.
One method for radiation to escape the power plant is free neutrons. They decay in 15 min unless captured by the nucleus of an atom (forming unstable isotopes and further radioactivity). As reactor produces 2-3 neutrons per fission 1-2
of them have to get out! And out from the whole building so they won't decay inside, ionize air there and destroy workers lungs.
The way for thermal neutrons to get out is the ventilation pipe (edit: with the fierce air flow). And there we can track down the betaflare also.

I licked the underside of the tip, then up to the hole. Licking all around the hole before I forced the end of my tongue in to it. Yet another lick about the tip then I drew the whole mind in. Mr Anderson moaned. I adjusted myself by getting through to my hips on the seat. Kneeling on the chair I leaned over and took his cock in my mouth again. Getting it around the base I bobbed up and down about it, at the same time rubbing my tongue other it. His one give started to roam. It roamed down my back. Because of the way I was situated my sweatshirt had ridden through to me, revealing my lower back. His give was today on my exposed straight back, rubbing it. As I continued to draw his tool and enjoy with his balls his hand extended to roam. It moved up my straight back, providing the sweatshirt with it. When it got large enough for him to realize I was not wearing a bra his hand slipped to my top part and instantly started to rub my breast. His tool also got harder while he did this. You've such nice nipples. He moaned, his hands fine-tuning my nipples. As I drew on his cock I gently damaged his balls which my nails. He moaned.
The only gentle in the vehicle was from the nearby road mild, adequate to see what I was doing. Reaching in I came across his cock, semi hard. He raised his hips a bit and drawn down his jeans so I had free access to his penis and balls. He resolved back in his chair as I began to stroke his cock. As I stroked it grew harder. Yeah you have this type of nice touch. Mr Anderson moaned. With my other give I cupped his balls, massaged them lightly. Thank you Mr Anderson. I prefer the way your penis feels in my own hand. Yet another reason why Mr Anderson generally drove me is I'd often give him a hand job or suck him off on the road home. This began right back after my elderly year of large school. Mr Anderson generally had anything for me. A couple of occasions the on the way home he created suggestive remarks but I didn't respond. Onetime though following he created several these comments I reacted by asking to see his cock. Properly he pulled it out and ever since that time it was quite a regular thing. Hovering around I licked the tip of his cock. He moaned, he put his give on my head. I extended to stroke his cock while licking his tip.
Mrs Anderson compensated me the typical 20 bucks. I loaded up my things and Mr Anderson drove me home as usual. We existed a few miles out and although I could have lent my parent's vehicle Mr Anderson always offered to choose me up and drop me off. This way he can also invest a few minutes with my folks. He and my dad had worked together quite a long time before and have kept friends actually since. In route home we changed a bit of small talk. Works out he was entertaining a client of his, wanting to close some major deal. A few blocks from his home he pulled down the main street onto a part road with a couple of properties on it. All the lights were out on the houses. He taken the car to the side of the street, made it off. Got time for the most common? he requested while turning towards me. You know I will have time for you Mr Anderson. I said as I achieved around, undid his strip gear, undid his shorts and fly.
I drawn through to his penis, turning my mouth on it. With just the end still in my mouth I went my language over it, then flicked it. At the same time I was drawing the remainder of his length with my hand. Shawn was moaning already. I really could taste the salty pre cum leaking from his cock. I lowered my mouth down his cock again, then drawn straight back Sexcamsxxx up. Again I ran my tongue about his tip. Decreasing myself on his cock again, this time I needed all of it in, I was deep throating him. When it was all the way in I presented it there, scrubbing my tongue along his shaft.
His give remaining my breasts. I was a little disappointed as he was doing a actual great job with them. His hand delivered to my back, made its way right down to my ass. He rubbed my butt a few times over my pajamas. Then it tucked below them, and under my panties. His give was today on my bare ass. He applied my bum while I continued to work with his cock. Eliminating my give from his cock I gradually deep throated him. He was a bit thicker than Shawn but comparable length. I really had not a problem deep throating Mr Anderson but I couldn't take action for long. I taken back a little and drew all of it in again.
Shawn was moaning and I knew it wouldn't be long. I squeezed his balls and he picture his load. I swallowed that in the same way still another fill was squirted in to my mouth. Then another. Following many more little photos he eventually stopped. I extended to suck on his cock, draining the rest of his cum. Finally I taken up. Whoa you've surely got to go. I claimed looking at the clock. It had been 11:10, the Anderson's might be home at any moment. We both sprang to the feet, obtaining our removed clothing and getting dressed. At the door we kissed again. In the same way he was planning to start the doorway a car pulled in the driveway.'Quick out the back. I claimed pulling him to your kitchen wherever there was a straight back door. One last hug and he was gone. I hurried back to the family area, exposed a guide and pretended to be studying once the Anderson's went in. Hello Brandi, how everything get? asked Mrs Anderson. No problem, the guys went along to bed just as Sex Webcams expected.
Shawn said while pressing out slightly. I pulled off him, got on the ground on my arms and knees. He was directly behind me, his dick smacked on my ass a couple of times. He reached below me, found my pussy, exposed it down and advised his dick in to me. He wasted no time and packed as serious because it might go. I gasped as I did not assume the forced he pressed in to me with. He pulled straight back and packed it in again. He did it a next time and now I pushed back. His fingers were on my sides, dragging me back to meet his every thrust. Oh yeah Shawn fuck me! I moaned and he slammed in to me again. And again. I pushed straight back against him, hoping to get his cock a little deeper. Think about it Shawn give me your entire cock. It condemned in to me again. He was not holding straight back, he was fucking me with every thing he had. He pushed in again and again. I am gonna cum. Shawn moaned.'Do not cum in me. I claimed while pulling from him. Shawn dropped back from the chair, his tool throbbing. I spun about, got his slick cock and drew it in to my mouth. I could style myself on his penis as I bobbed up and down on it.
Oh God Brandi I really like whenever you do that. Shawn moaned. I pulled right back and then heavy throated him again. I used it there again, applied my language on him, drawing as difficult as I could. Shawn hips removed down the couch in an endeavor to have also greater, but my experience was correct against his body. He couldn't get any deeper. Following a couple of moments with this I taken off. Lets get these off. I claimed taking his shorts down. He raised his hips to help me. His cock stood at attention, gleaming with my saliva. I stood up and drawn off my pajama feet and my adorable pink panties all Xxx Webcam at once. Then I climbed along with Shawn, covered my fingers around his head, leaned over and kissed him. His arms were on my naked bum, slipping up and down.
God it believed so great, his tool pushed all the way in me. Quickly we got our beat planning, his cock sliding in and out of me, Shawn pressing up to meet up me everytime I came down. I leaned forward, promoting my weight on the rear of the couch to either side of Shawn's head. My breasts put in his face, his tongue reached out to lick my erect nipples. His arms were on my butt, squeezing my cheeks, alternately dragging my cheeks apart and forcing them together. His sides rose off the sofa forcing his cock as heavy since it could go. I leaned ahead, moving my tits in to his face. I could experience his mouth open taking in a large part of my tit, his language moving on my nipple. I support my position, letting Shawn do all the work, pressing up in me, pulling straight back before driving up into me again. I would like you dog style.
His give slid further down my bum, his hands found my pussy. He brushed along my pussy a couple of instances, then pressed a finger in me. I moaned somewhat along with his cock within my mouth. Then I taken down his penis, sat up while dragging his hand away. No touchy for you personally Mr Anderson, remember. These were the floor concept we had collection a while ago. I'd touch and draw him, but he wasn't to the touch me. I did not brain licking him but fucking was out of the question. Effectively I thought perhaps you had transformed you brain, I mean after all you could allow me to touch your tits. Consider it an advantage night for you. But number more. Otherwise you can just travel me home now. No that won't be necessary. Please keep on together with your services. Not exactly therefore quickly Mr Anderson. I got his hand, the one
that was on my butt, with the hand that was in me. I pressed the hand under his nose. Like just how I smell? He took a strong breath. Yes that scents nice. I sent the hand in his mouth. Like the way I style? He moaned as he sucked his finger clean. Before he can actually solution I returned to his cock. Sucking it in as I went my tongue all over it. My hands cupping his balls, contracting them lightly. His hand fell on my again, rubbing up and down gently, forcing my sweatshirt up higher and larger on me. Maybe not ending him I continued to work his tool with my mouth. His hand reached about, found my tits and started to rub my nipples. Instantly his tool became harder, I sucked harder. I packed his balls only a little harder, he moaned. His fingers pinched my erect nipples gently, it thought therefore good. But it absolutely was also making him more excited. Starting large I slid his dick completely in, my nose pressed facing his body. His hips started initially to push up, he was getting close.
My damp pussy pressed down on his dick, trapping it between our bodies. I rubbed straight back and forth a few situations, protecting his tool with my juices. His fingers slid up my body under my sweatshirt. They slid around to the leading to my breasts. Number bra tonight, I love that. He caressed my breasts. I lay up right as he pulled my sweatshirt off. When I was completely bare he looked me over. You are so sexy, I will never get fed up with seeking your body. I put my fingers behind my head, taken my hair up, forced out my breasts, complicated only a little from sideways, giving him the very product pose. He placed his hands on my edges, gradually rubbing them up and down just above my hips. After a few seconds of the I removed up somewhat, grabbed his tool, aimed it at the entrance to my pussy. Leave seeking and fuck Free Live Shows Porn me may ya? And I slid down his cock. His hips flower up to meet me and quickly his tool was hidden to the hilt.
Following holding his penis heavy within my throat for several moments I reinforced off. I wrapped one give about the bottom of his dick and stroked it, while I drew and licked the tip. He was starting to moan very nearly low stop, his hands grabbing my nipples only a little harder. His hips were today thrusting trying to operate a vehicle his tool deeper. Licking just the end, my hand stroked his cock while the other squeezed his balls. Abruptly he shot his fill, getting me off guard. Commonly he didn't cum this fast but he should have been thrilled to be pressing my tits. I drew on his tool as he shot again and again. His hips were pushing up as he shot. I sucked down his cum as quickly as he shot it. Shortly he resolved back into his seat, his dick gradually deflating while I extended to pull on it. I'd to suck all of the cum as I didn't want to leave any clear track for Mrs Anderson to find. Taking down as I lay up, my hand however carefully patting his cock. His hand slipped from my tit. Which was good. he said while taking a look at me. His eyes were on my chest. Seeking down I found my sweatshirt was pressed around my tits, so he can see them in the poor light. Quickly I drawn my sweatshirt down. That wasn't actually essential today was it? He asked. I did not solution, but recognized his cock was dripping more cum. I leaned around and drew the last of his cum from him. Yes thanks, you are always so neat. He said as I sat back in my seat. He repaired his shorts and we extended home. When he taken in the garage he taken out his budget, taken out fifty dollars, handing it to me. Thanks again for watching the kids tonight. I got out and closed the Private Sexcams door. As I was strolling towards my house he folded down his window. I believe we may require you again a few weeks, is that okay? Certainly, only allow me to know. and I ran in the house.
Which needless to say I did. Following confirming these were sleeping I grabbed my phone and sent a text message. Only a simple one ship, Ready? Nearly instantly the device went down, an answer nightmare yeah be there in 5. It was from Shawn my boyfriend. I achieved him a year ago at the community university we attended. Since we both lived in the home we took advantage of every possibility that people surely got to be alone. I did not will often have Shawn over when bab ysitting but we had both been busy with midterms yesteryear number of weeks. I know I wanted it, and I am sure he did. As I waited for Shawn I thought about draining off my pajama lows and my large sweatshirt, addressing the doorway when he broken in just my panties (I was not carrying a bra tonight). But I chickened out, imagine if it had been somebody else. I would never be able to describe that.
Ultimately the brats resolved down and were sleeping. It had very nearly been one hour since the last time I noticed any sound from them. I peeked in their room to confirm they were sleeping. They had additional energy or something tonight and wouldn't head to sleep. I was baby sitting these two child, twins Zack and Ryan, age 5. Their parents and quarry were buddies and I have been their babysitter nearly because the day the children were born. Actually they weren't brats, only two little children who had a lot of energy, until you had something different in the offing and they were avoiding it from happening.
Whoa whats your run Brandi? Their been a little while, and I skip you. I answered however looking to get his zip down. Properly only slow down, that is number purpose to hurry it. Oh and the Anderson's said they'll be house about 11:30. It absolutely was now 10:35. Why did you wait therefore well before calling me? Shawn requested while leaning right back against the arm of the couch, along with his arms behind his head. I was today able to get his freezer down. Pulling down his lingerie I covered my give around his cock. It had been hard. The kids wouldn't head to sleep. And I do want to make certain they were resting before you got over. I packed my give on his dick and started to swing it. Generally thinking aren't you Brandi. Yeah I am. I claimed as I lowered my mouth onto his cock. I engulfed it, taking the majority of it in. I really like drawing cock. Ever since I first tried it inside my senior year in senior high school, I liked it. I love how a people react, their moans, their on the job my head. I enjoy style and experience of a penis in my own mouth. I really like the power it offers me over a guy.
5 minutes transferred, it looked such as an hour. I lay on the chair turning thru the channels on TV, getting up twice to appear out the window. Still another 5 minutes, this is killing me. I could not delay, I was so damp in expectation, it have been a few months because we were alone together, it absolutely was eliminating me. Eventually there clearly was a small knock at the door. I went over, drawn it open. There clearly was Shawn. He got in, we embraced and kissed. Our tongues met, discovering each other. I was keeping him tight, his arms were on my ass. After about one minute I taken away, closed the door. Keeping my give he led me to the couch. We lay down and embraced again, our lips met again. His fingers were on my right back, scrubbing up and down. In the beginning so were mine, however I reached for his pants. I drawn the belt belt free, unsnapped his trousers then attempted to draw the zip down. Shawn pushed back.

|St. Claire Family Medicine - Morehead, Downtown
|Medical School
|University of Kentucky College of Medicine, RPLP, Morehead, KY
|Self Regional Family Medicine Residency, Greenwood, South Carolina
I was fortunate to participate in the Rural Physicians Leadership Program through University of Kentucky, which brought us to St. Claire for my third and fourth clinical years of medical school. While I was in medical school, my husband, James, went back to school and became a nurse at EKU. During the first year we were in Morehead, he completed a nursing critical care fellowship at St. Claire and went on to work for St. Claire in the ER and ICU.
While here, I fell in love with St. Claire, the staff, and most of all, the patients. I felt called to be a physician to serve others. The mission of St. Claire spoke to my heart, "Proclaiming God's Goodness through a healing ministry to the people of Eastern Kentucky." My husband and I want to serve others and be a part of the community that we serve.
I choose family medicine because I loved everything about medicine and wanted to take care of all ages in a variety of settings. I have a special interest in women and children's care, including pregnancy and mother/baby care. During my family medicine residency, I completed an obstetric track.

Baptisms are always nice!
This day, Marion Golden introduced the congregation to Jenny and Philip Lambert who have asked that their baby Audrey Ann be baptized.
Although not active members now, Jenny's family have had a long association with Summerlea through marriage and baptism.
Jeff Barlow officiated as Scott was away for his annual Study Week.
Here we see Jeff with two bottls of ordinary tap water which are then made special by Jeff having them passed around the congregation. Each person then holds the bottle and says a silent blessing for Audry Ann.
The now blessed water is poured by Godparents into the Baptismal font.
The ceremony is concluded when a very adorable Audrey Ann is introduced to the congregation by Jeff.

Cooking with Chocolate: Quick Tips
Nov 26, 2010 08:09PM
● By Erin Frisch
Chocolate should be smooth and velvety when you melt it on your tongue. When making a special treat, don't skimp on the chocolate; the better the chocolate, the better the results for your dessert.
Chocolate chips are great for cookies but not great for most desserts. Most contain less cocoa butter than bar chocolates and some have stabilizers so they hold their shape when baking. Unless your recipe calls for chocolate chips specifically, use bar chocolate.
Chocolate scorches easily. Melt chocolate in a heavy pan over very low heat and keep a close eye; you need to watch it carefully. If you don't have a heavy pan, use a double boiler over simmering water.
A little bit of coffee will make your chocolate dessert taste even more chocolaty. Add a teaspoon of instant espresso or coffee powder to chocolate cakes and brownies. If your recipe calls for water, substitute some or all of it with brewed espresso or coffee. You won't taste the coffee but the end result will be spectacular.
Store chocolate in a cool place, but unless you are in the middle of a heat wave, it's best to avoid the refrigerator or freezer. Don't store your chocolate near aromatic foods like garlic or onions, and keep it away from detergents. Their strong odors can affect the chocolate's flavor.

Ordered Universe Creative News 2: Magnitudo in Japan
In more news from the Ordered Universe creative arts strands, we're delighted that Colin Rennie's sculpture Magnitudo, having been entered into the Toyama International Glass Prize, a Triennial open competition for glass art. Created for the Illuminating Colour exhibition at the National Glass Centre (2017-18), Magnitudo also featured in the Light Embodied exhibition at Pembroke College, University of Oxford, April-June 2018.
The sculpture is now in Japan, as one of 57 pieces selected for the final judging show in September. There were over a thousand entries globally. That a piece of glass sculpture should be inspired by Grosseteste's 13th century writings on colour, light and the rainbow, and the modern science that resulted from its investigation, is a wonderful story. Let's hope the judges think similarly. We'll let you know how the competition proceeds.
Colin has also entered Concurrentes to the annual New Glass Review at the Corning Museum of Glass, upstate New York. Another journey across the seas awaits perhaps.We all wish Colin the very best of luck!
Ordered Universe Creative News 1: Colour Columns I, II, and III on tour
Some news to share on further developments in the creative arts projects connected to the Ordered Universe. This, the first news-post of three, features Cate Watkinson's Colour Columns exhibited as part of the Illuminating Colour exhibition (2017-18) at the National Glass Centre, University of Sunderland. Smaller versions were exhibited at the Light Embodied exhibition at Pembroke College, University of Oxford. Now three of the four original columns are now installed in the Cheesburn Grange sculpture garden, near Ponteland, to the north-west of Newcastle.
Cheeseburn Grange, originally a grange farm of Hexham Abbey, now owned by the Riddell family, gives support to creative projects and exhibits sculpture in the gardens. These are open to public on selected weekends, and by appointment. Colour Columns will be in place for the year, and Cate will be measuring the effect of the light embodied by the columns over the course of the year. If you're in the North-East, check out the website for the best times to visit: it will be worth it.
What Robert Grosseteste states in his treatise On Colour, at its conclusion recalls the skill of the artist in knowing the material, knowing the effect of light, and knowing how to manipulate both. Colour Columns at Cheeseburn will repay a visit, most certainly
What is understood in this way about the essence of colours and their multiplication, becomes apparent not only by reason but also by experience to those who thoroughly understand the depth of the principles of natural science and optics. And this is because they know how to make the diaphanous medium either pure or impure, so that in it they can receive bright light, or dim if they prefer, and through the shape formed in the diaphanous medium itself they can make scarce light, or increase that same light at will; and so through skilful manipulation they can show visibly, as they wish, all kinds of colour.
Grosseteste, De colore, ed. and trans, Dinkova-Bruun et al. (2013)
Elemental! Hot Glass, Volcanoes and Bubbles
Just over a week ago Ordered Universe (28th June) members joined colleagues from the National Glass Centre, most of whom are part of the project, but it was brilliant to meet new colleagues as well including Joanne Mitchell. And we were joined by other colleagues from Durham University's Department of Earth Sciences, Drs Ed Lllewellin and Fabian Wadsworth, specialists in volcanology. The meeting opened with a collaborative reading of Grosseteste's beautiful treatise On the Impressions of the Elements, in which the question of heat and the nature of bubbles are investigated. These were all pertinent themes and phenomena for the gathering, and a lively conversation took place, showing again how stimulating these gem-like treatises from the early thirteenth century are, 900 years later.
We then enjoyed our first introduction to the hot glass studio, with a fabulous rendition of Grosseteste's treatise in glass by Colin Rennie. Bubbles blown, and attached, and the piece came together before our eyes, in all the wonderful shimmering, changing colours of the glass as it cooled. And we had our own try and drizzling molten glass onto damped paper to create a variety of effects…abstract, pungent, a lot of fun, and a very interesting experience in learning to manipulate the medium (which you have to do fast!).
Lunchtime, a different location, and a different sequence of talks – catching up on the various lines of shred interest and the legacy of previous work and exhibitions, a paper by Josh Harvey on his work on material perception with material from medieval Norwegian polychrome sculpture provided by Kaja Kollandsrud, and then a demonstration by Fabian and Ed of volcanoes in action. Not with lava but with syrup and a cherry favoured carbonated drink. Glass and its properties, naturally in volcanoes and as worked in the studio, hot or cold, provoked a long discussion: the similarities and differences in the scientific and artistic approach to the medium were striking, and a lovely example of knowledge exchange.
Then came our time in the hot shop again, to make paper-weights. This time, we had the experience of holding the glass, shaping it and learning to hold the equipment in the right place (because metal conducts heat…easy to forget in, well, the heat of the moment), The feeling of the heat coming off the ball of viscous, moving, radiating material which we were attempting to mould was extraordinary. And it made Cate and Colin's skill all the more awe-inspiring. The results were kiln-cooled, and look very passable – all credit to our teachers and guides. We then watched Colin make a first draft of a piece of glassware inspired by medieval models…more on that to come.
A super day, one to treasure, and full of possibilities for future collaboration. We're very grateful indeed to Claire Todd for organising, and to Cate, Colin and all at the National Glass Centre for sharing their experience and time. And can't wait to see Grosseteste in glass, again.
Glass Gathering – Creative Experimentation with Hot Glass
Experimenting with hot glass is probably best to be tried in the company, and with the guidance, of experts. That being the case, it would be difficult to find more expert guides for this particular activity than those at the National Glass Centre. So it is the best of all possible worlds in which the NGC and Hot Glass Studio, University of Sunderland, have organised a research and experience day, in which Ordered Universe members will be taking part. We'll be reading one of more recent editions and translations, that of the treatise On the Impressions of the Elements, which is all about bubble formation in water and the action of heat. Quite appropriate, then, for a day devoted to hot glass experiments.
That done we'll move to experimenting with and experiencing what it is to work with hot glass (a step-up from our last knowledge exchange session which involved sand-casting). Learning not only how glass works, but how those experienced at manipulating it explain their craft and process, is essential to the effort of reconstructing how things were done, or conceived in the past. And, there are also scientific dimensions – we're going to be joined by vulcanologists from Durham University's Earth Sciences Department, and thinking about the ways in which glass-blowing and natural glass production in lava might mutually inform.
We'll be having a catch-up as well on the various projects going forward with our colleagues at the NGC; publications, new collaborative working, and potentially, a range of wine-glasses. You never quite know what to expect at these meetings, and that's all part of the fun! We're enormously grateful to Cate Watkinson, Colin Rennie, and Claire Todd for organising, hosting and supervising (!) the day, and will report on what emerges (conceptually and in glass).

The center lobby was bustling on the evening of May 1st, 2013, when seven esteemed Technites were inducted into the ranks of the Alumni Hall of Fame.
Lining the western hall of the first floor, current hall of famers' portraits greet passersby along with descriptions of each individual's accolades.
Of the more than 80,000 graduates in the school's history, only 31 have previously been inducted. This select group includes two Nobel laureates, an Olympic medalist, a NASA astronaut, and a U.S. Air Force Four Star General, among other inventors, authors, scientists, and industry leaders.
This year's inductees did not disappoint – a Tuskegee Airman, a philanthropist and founder of Remco Toys and Heller Industrial Parks, an Astrophysicist and Harvard professor, the developer of the Global Positioning System (GPS), the inventor of the digital camera, a video and broadcast innovator, and a physician and public health leader who is the first female graduate to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Each was given time during the celebratory evening to speak at the podium. Addressing a room filled with alumni, administrators, faculty, press, and a select group of current students, the inductees reminisced on their high school experiences, impressing the crowd with their individual talents and charisma.
"The Hall of Fame induction was more than just about honoring Technites that had excelled in the professional world," said Emma Costa '14. "For me, it was about inspiring future Tech alumni to achieve greatness and encouraging them to contribute to the nurturing community that we call our home."
Following a welcome address by the Executive Director of the Alumni Office, Elizabeth Sciabarra, Principal Randy Asher and Larry Cary '70, President of the Brooklyn Tech Alumni Foundation, gave the opening remarks for the ceremony.
"Listening to what this group of people who is on the wall right now has accomplished – that's a mark for present day students as they look around and look at what they've accomplished. All I could think of as I listened was that the sky's the limit," said Richard Schwartz '53, Alumni Hall of Fame Inductee '13, whose team built and launched the first GPS satellites in 1978.
"All of the inductees were amazing," said Kamara Swaby '13, who attended the ceremony. "Each has done something to impact the world we live in today. I felt honored to be in their presence and proud that we come from the same high school."
The Hall of Fame inductees were introduced to the podium by current students Chyanne Garcia '13, Rebecca Dall' Orso '13, Nikita Dubnov '13, and Emma Costa '14. Each student presented a self-composed background of the inductees they presented.
"I had the honor of introducing two of Tech's most esteemed alumni– Steven Sasson ['68], the inventor of the digital camera, and Laurie Zephyrin ['92], the first female inductee into the hall of fame," said Costa. "It's not easy to fathom what it's like to shake the hand of someone who invented something so familiar, and so commonplace to our generation, but had been extremely novel and revolutionary at the time of it's creation."
Each inductee, success aside, made their high school a central part of his or her speech.
"To be honored by going into the Tech Hall of Fame has to be one of the highlights of my career," said Louis Siracusano '60, founder and CEO of 47 different companies.
"I was very lucky to go to Brooklyn Tech. It really fit in with who I was," added Steven Sasson '68.
"I did not realize it at the time, but Tech was filling my toolbox. It was a toolbox of knowledge that I could carry on with me and open it whenever I chose to," said Richard Schwartz in his award speech. "You got to play with a bunch of all-stars. Every student was smart, and rubbing elbows with them and talking to them, you'd say that was lucky in itself."
The highlight of the night came when Laurie Zephyrin was introduced to the podium as the first female inductee to the Alumni Hall of Fame.
"All of my academic life, I've felt this stereotype looming over my head–that whatever I achieve as a woman, there will always be a man that achieves something higher," said Costa. "Introducing the first female inductee into Tech's hall of fame blurred the line of demarcation between the genders, and really was an inspiration to me."
Zephyrin, on her part, did not disappoint with her short speech.
"As my classmates on Facebook put it, this honor puts the class of '92 on the map," she said, humoring the audience before highlighting the progress that women are making in society, as well as her own achievements in healthcare. "Education in my family was an expectation. There was really no gender distinction or other distinction regarding ability. There was an expectation of continued perseverance."
"A woman who strives to be equal with man isn't really striving for anything. Women have to strive to be better than men," commented Schwartz.
Women have been a part of the Tech community since 1970. That September, the first two female Technites walked the halls among 6,000 male students.
Being the first woman inducted to the Alumni Hall of Fame, Zephyrin inspires the current generation of women at Tech, over 2,200 strong (41% of the student body), to achieve in whichever field they choose to pursue. She is a prime example of a successful woman, who uses her Tech "toolbox" to make an impact on society ever day.
After her speech, Zephyrin and the other inductees mingled with the audience while refreshments were served in the lobby. Current students were given an opportunity to meet with the distinguished alumni. Although generations separated the two groups, the Hall of Famers eagerly shared their stories and offered advice to the Technites present.
"I think it's important to live in the moment," said Zephyrin. "Learn and absorb as much as you can. The books are obviously important, but it's just as important to learn from one another. That could take you just as far."
Schwartz proposed a simpler solution, telling students to "find a passion and do it."
The Hall of Fame will be expanded and refurbished to accomodate the growing number of inductees and their respective plaques.
