Widener University Again Named "Military Friendly" School
Places Widener among the top 15 percent of all higher education institutions nationwide.
For the third year, Victory Media, Inc. has selected Widener University as a "Military
Friendly School," placing it in the top 15 percent of all higher education institutions
nationwide that are doing the most to embrace America's military service members,
veterans and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus.
The 2013 list of Military Friendly Schools was compiled through extensive research and a data driven survey of more than 12,000 Veterans Administration-approved schools nationwide. The survey tabulation process, methodology and weighting that comprise the 2013 list were independently verified by Ernst and Young LLP. Each year, schools taking the survey are held to a higher standard than the previous year via improved methodology, criteria and weightings developed with the assistance of an Academic Advisory Board consisting of educators from schools across the country.
"Given Widener's mission as a university committed to civic engagement and service to the nation, and our history as Pennsylvania Military College, this is a great honor," said Widener University President James T. Harris III.
The Military Friendly Schools media and website, found at www.militaryfriendlyschools.com, feature the list, interactive tools and search functionality to help military students find the best school to suit their unique needs and preferences. The 1,739 colleges, universities and trade schools on this year's list exhibit leading practices in the recruitment and retention of students with military experience.
"Inclusion on the 2013 list of Military Friendly Schools shows Widener's commitment to providing a supportive environment for military students," said Sean Collins, director for G.I. Jobs and vice president at Victory Media.
Widener participates in the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill Yellow Ribbon Program, and the university introduced Widener CARES (Children of Active and Reserve Military Personnel Educational Scholarship) in 2005. This unique scholarship fund ensures that the children of U.S. military personnel, who are killed in action in either Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom, have the opportunity to pursue higher education.
Widener was known as Pennsylvania Military College until 1972, and the university still maintains a vibrant Army ROTC program that serves as the headquarters for other college and university ROTC programs throughout the Philadelphia region.
The Widener School of Law also provides one of the few Veterans Law Clinics in the nation, providing free legal aid to veterans in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania who have been denied veterans benefits.
A full story and detailed list of 2013 Military Friendly Schools will be highlighted
in the annual G.I. Jobs Guide to Military Friendly Schools, distributed to active and former military personnel in early October. Victory Media
is a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business founded in 2001. Victory's free,
data-driven Military Friendly lists can be found at www.gijobs.com/2012Top100, www.militaryfriendlyschools.com, and www.militaryfranchising.com. Victory's lists are also published in G.I. Jobs, Military Spouse and Vetrepreneur magazines.
Widener University is a private, metropolitan university that connects curricula to social issues through civic engagement. Dynamic teaching, active scholarship, personal attention, leadership development, and experiential learning are key components of the Widener experience. A comprehensive doctorate-granting university, Widener is comprised of eight schools and colleges that offer liberal arts and sciences and professional and pre-professional curricula leading to associate's, baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral degrees. The university's campuses in Chester, Exton, and Harrisburg, Pa., and Wilmington, Del., serve approximately 6,500 students. Visit the university's website, www.widener.edu, for more information.

Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett were headed for a divorce over an alleged cheating scandal. The couple are now sitting down and explaining exactly what happened when the tabloids claimed that Hank cheated on an 8-month pregnant Kendra with a transgender woman. "I messed up. I put myself in a bad situation. And everything through me brought pain upon this family," the former football player told People.
Hand tells People that last April he met a couple in a grocery store parking lot smoking pot and he approached the couple and asked where he could buy the marijuana. They gave him a number and later an address. He went to the house to make the purchase and asked to use the bathroom, and when he exited he was shocked."I saw something I thought I would never see in my life."
The person who answered the door, a transgender woman was nude making out with another transgender woman and the first woman came over to Hank and fondled him. "I didn't engage in anything. It was like a bank robbery. You never know when you'll freeze. I don't know if it was a couple of seconds or 15 seconds, because all I was saying was get out, get out, get out."
Hank sasy he was humiliated by the incident and he couldn't tell his family or friends what happened, but then the news broke."I was this big former football player. I was the alpha male. I could do anything to protect my family but I couldn't protect myself." And of course Kendra was upset and "went ballistic," and threw her wedding ring down the toilet. "I couldn't control my emotions." She added, "Hank was very naïve and gullible. He thinks everybody is his friend. That led him to the hell that we've lived."
The couple are doing great now!

Conversations with Myself: Exploring Low Mood
10 Ideas to Distract Depression: Don't Feed the Monster!
Hello World!: How spirituality is helping me to manage mental health conditions.
A Positive Psychiatrist Consultation
As I've recently moved to a new area I have just seen a psychiatrist here for the first time. I couldn't believe it when he spent a whole hour and 40 minutes with me- way more time than I've ever spent with a mental healthcare professional before.
He was an extremely good listener and would ask my opinion about things regularly during the session, which was so refreshing. I felt like a human-being! It's hard to believe I've not felt this way before with other psychiatrists. He pretty much re-diagnosed me and confirmed Bipolar II, but also threw Borderline Personality Disorder traits into the mix, which I've suspected for years.
For more on Borderline Personality Disorder click here.
Borderline Personality Disorder
The Borderline Personality trait aspect of the diagnosis has had a mixed effect on me. I feel a huge sense of relief in that there is a reason I struggle all the time with various aspects of life, not just during bipolar episodes. It explains so much and has helped my understanding of my behaviour and intense emotions.
On the other hand, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) has a stigma attached. My psychiatrist assured me that this is much more true of the past, and that views and opinions are changing. My own reading on the disorder has instilled in me a view that BPD patients are difficult to treat, manipulative, prone to attention seeking, rage and aggression. All sounds lovely! But like I said, the psychiatrist was quick to dispute this.
The parts of the Disorder which apply to me are (unfortunately) episodes of rage (a few in my lifetime), difficulty maintaining friendships (not so much with romantic relationships), emotional reactivity and hypersensitivity, dissociation, impulsivity, binge eating and compulsive spending to a smaller degree, and a difficult childhood.
You can read more about my experiences with binge eating here, anger/rage here, and hypersensitivity here.
Even when I don't appear to be having a bipolar episode, I am prone to quicker changes in mood that only last an hour or two, maybe a day. For the psychiatrist to have picked up on this made me relieved. At last an explanation for why I just can't hold down a job, and why I struggle being around people and with friendships in general.
The Positive Side of High Sensitivity
Last night I came upon a website- Eggshell Therapy– which painted a picture of emotional intensity and giftedness, and that when not handled well in early years by parents, or when the child is experiences trauma, can develop into BPD/Bipolar in later years.
It was refreshing to see that actually the problems I've been experiencing have a more positive side and that emotional intensity can be a gift. The website author points out many aspects of giftedness including high creativity, high intuition, high empathy, as well as a high capacity for spiritual experience and rapture- music, art, beauty can have a "profound emotional impact on you". Also inter- and intra-personal giftedness: an ability to understand the emotions and motivations of the self and others.
I would highly recommend reading the website. It really gave me a lift to think that even though I find my high intensity challenging, it also has many gifts with it. All the articles on the site were very helpful and the following pages particularly so:
Sensitivity and Childhood Trauma
Emotionally Unstable (Borderline) Personality Disorder
This is the best way I've found of receiving a diagnosis: it's great to have acknowledgment that there is a genuine cause for difficulties experienced, but also to acknowledge anything positive that may come from being so sensitive.

Bipolar Disorder as Spiritual Awakening
So much has changed in the last 18 months it all seems a little surreal!
Big Decisions
I finally put my needs and wellbeing before my fears of insecurity, and left an unhappy relationship. I moved to a new house, sharing with housemates.
It was a scary move. I'd been in the relationship for 11 years and had become so comfortable having our own house, living in a lovely area, and with our beautiful dog- who I was heartbroken to leave. Despite the unhappiness between the two of us, we did try to make it work, and we still care about each other, but as friends. I regularly dog-sit, so I still get to see my gorgeous girl.
It was a really tough decision and I still can't believe I was brave enough to do it. I knew in my heart it was the right thing to do.
My happiness now has really made me realise how important it is to be true to ourselves, even if it means sacrificing other things.
Binge Eating & Counselling
My binge eating has definitely worsened since the move. I think this is because I feel like I don't know what to do with myself when I don't have someone else's needs to consider, and a dog to look after. I've spent too much time in my life trying to look after other people's emotions, and not enough time looking after my own. So, as I posted back in May, I took the step of getting counselling for my disordered eating and body image.
I feel I've struck the jackpot with my counselllor- she is fantastic, and it feels right.
She's really helping me to work on identifying how I developed such low confidence and self-esteem, and how I can nurture and parent myself. This is most definitely going to be an ongoing process.
The most uncomfortable I have felt so far is dealing with other people's reactions to increasing my assertiveness. Having grown up a people-pleaser, upsetting others is extremely scary! But she's helping me to see I'm not responsible for their reactions when I'm creating a boundary- so I don't allow myself to be walked all-over.
I'm beginning to realise that there is a healthy level of selfish-ness!
Binge triggers have been relatively easy to identify so far:
I think the main reason I binge eat is to stuff down the emotions of the past. I'm grieving for my inner child and the things I went through at that time. I'm a little scared of my inner child though, as she is very very angry and likes to have temper tantrums!
I'm learning to manage that anger in a healthy way.
It's not about losing weight.
It's not about losing weight- I can't stress this enough.
I am not on a diet.
I am focusing on managing my emotions and my own needs. The healing comes through this, not through calorie-counting.
I am learning to love my body the way it is. I can still walk and be active and function pretty well! That is something to be profoundly grateful for.
I am really grateful also for the counselling that I am receiving at low cost. It is providing much-needed support. The universe is looking after me- and I am thankful!

Spirituality and working with energy have helped me so much to manage my Bipolar symptoms and high sensitivity that I wanted to dedicate a completely new blog to the topic.
I'm feeling much more positive today!! Hooray!!
Since I posted on Saturday I have been meditating to ground myself. Only a few minutes every few hours. It's worked so far!! I feel more at peace with myself, though am still working with a few things.
I've used food for comfort since I was a kid. A dip back into pretty bad depression over the last 6 months has led to an increase in my food antics and a fast 16 pound weight gain. My knees have definitely noticed! My BMI is nearly 39, which is not good.
I think I'm at my limit now, where I say "Right, that's enough now. No more." There is no more denying the effects of what I've been doing, and the fact that it's making me feel worse, not better.
A cease in cooking for myself is one of the first signs for me that I'm depressed again. But there are easy meals I am sure I could manage:
Jacket potato & baked beans
Eggs & salad.
Even a salad sandwich and some soup.
I know I can do this. It's just a case of re-programming my brain! Lol!
I don't want to eat in secret, feeling so guilty and ashamed. I need to replace the buzz of shopping for binge food and guzzling it with something more loving and nurturing to myself.
I need to remember my dreams are important, so use these as a replacement! If I want to draw, I will draw. If I want to sing, I will sing. If I want to write a silly story, I'll write a silly story!! I will resist the urge to tell myself there is no point in doing any of this, and remind myself that theses things are important- they are part of BEING who I am. I believe that we are all expressions of God's spirit- being who we truly are (from the highest perspective of unconditional love) is what we are here for!
I'd like to reconnect to the childlike joy I used to feel when drawing and making up little stories, and dancing and singing. Joy brings light to the world!
Slow, but healing.
It's definitely a slow day today too. Slow thinking, slow walking.
A very interesting observation was made by the psychiatrist Dr Russell Razzaque, author of Breaking Down is Waking Up. He took up mindfulness meditation for his own personal development and whilst on a retreat noticed something curious. During mindfulness exercises the participants were aiming to slow their thinking and their walking, to observe themselves. He connected this with what happens in depression- our thoughts and movements slow down. Could it be that our minds and bodies are actually healing us through depression? I definitely like to think so!!
So with that in mind, I will trust that I am on the right track, and to listen and act on my intuition, rather than dismissing it as airy fairy.

Conversations With Myself: Exploring Low Mood
Sometimes I just want to scream!!!! Doesn't everyone at some point?
I feel like such a rubbish human being sometimes.
I've been through CBT, Mindfulness Therapy, counselling and have been working on personal and spiritual development with my teacher Dawn for a good 4 years now. I feel like I've done so much work on trying to improve myself and my life, so why isn't my life perfect? Lol!!! I think I might be expecting a little bit much of myself!
I feel like I know what I should be doing to improve things for myself: walking in nature, meditation, eating healthily, journalling, talking to friends, going to choir, playing the piano, drawing. So why don't I do any of it?!!!
Angry & Annoyed!
I get angry with myself. Like I am now. Ok so, I'm doing walks in nature, meditation and going to choir, but I know I need more balance than that.
I get annoyed with myself when I get bored. I'm not working at the moment, so I beat myself up about that. I'm living off benefits.
I find regular jobs so tough to hold down- I end up depressed and anxious. All I can do is sleep in between part time shifts. I get so exhausted that I can barely walk- I've always seen this as psychomotor retardation, my thoughts become very slow too, I can't look people in the eye, I become a shell of a person.
Right now, I know I'm going through feeling like a victim and I know I'm not really. But I think I just have to get these thoughts written out.
Even though regular jobs don't work for me, I still fight with myself: "why aren't you working? You should be working, you're so lazy."
And I know these thoughts aren't productive!
I know how to change my thoughts. I know how to look for the things I'm grateful for in my life. I know how to foster and nurture this emotion to bring back the loving, joyful, abundant state of mind. So why do I feel so rubbish right now?!! Knowing and doing are two different things! Lol.
But maybe I feel the need to wallow for a few hours. Maybe wallowing and allowing these feelings, of "life's not fair" and anger with myself, just to be in existence for a little while will help to process them.
I think I deny the darker feelings as much as I possibly can sometimes. My mind chews over and over- "I shouldn't be thinking these things, I must get rid of them quickly". When really I need to allow them to be.
So this is what I'm doing right now: allowing my thoughts and feelings to be.
Where did my peace go?!
Last Friday I had two teeth taken out. The injections were a lot more painful than I remember in the past. The needle went very deep into my jaw. I wasn't prepared for the pain. Now one wound is infected and another tooth has been aching and I've had a temporary filling put in. The extraction seems to be causing me to clench my jaw and I'm having facial, head and neck pain due to this. I guess that's going to make me feel a bit fed up!
I was so full of love and inner peace over the last two weeks- I want it back!!! Why can't I have it back, lol!!!!!
I feel angry with myself for letting it get to me and angry with life, I guess, for not letting my inner peace last.
The challenge I'm learning is to keep the inner peace and love, return to the state, even when I'm feeling out of sorts, even when life is throwing me curve balls. To return to the love and peace in my heart. I know it's there. I know writing like this helps to get my irritation and frustration out, to a place where I feel less overwhelmed and can get more perspective.

Face Fear: Making Peace With Our Shadow Side.
I've done really well today so far! I've started my new sleep schedule over the last few days (bed by 11.30pm, wake up at 8am) which I'm keeping to and I went for a short walk this morning and did about 20mins yoga and some meditation.
So why am I down on myself all of a sudden?
I'm scared of the thoughts that are creeping in, and feel anxious about them. This is the sequence of thoughts once I got out my sketchbook and pencils:
1. "I can start to do this art work, but there's not much point as everything I do is rubbish and it's not like I have a career out of it."
2. "I have nothing else planned for today. I must do something productive or the whole day will be wasted."
3. "I could go and get some biscuits and chocolate and watch some movies/tv, then sleep off the sugar hangover. (Feel excited by the prospect)."
This is when I decide to blog first. Writing out a conversation with myself yesterday really seemed to help pick me up.
I'm going to respond to the first thought, as it seemed to trigger the others:
Why do you feel this way do you think?
I've never studied past GCSE level (high school). I'm behind everyone else my age. Nothing ever looks the way I want it to. I don't enjoy it anymore.
If you don't enjoy it, maybe you don't have to do it?
I feel I want to. Everyday a little voice inside me says draw, paint, let me have my voice! I don't understand why I feel the need to suppress this part of me.
This voice, could it be your inner child?
Yes, I'm certain it is.
Why don't you want to let her speak?
Because she can be scary and out of control. That same part of me that wants to create, my inner child, she has had major tantrums before and can be completely out of control.
This is what young children are like! They know how to express themselves! But adults teach them to suppress these 'difficult' emotions, usually because they can't handle them themselves. Sometimes children aren't taught to deal these feelings in a healthy way.
What is a healthy way to deal with feelings of anger, disappointment, shame, etc?
Well, let's look at how you feel now?
Ashamed that I can't function like a normal person.
Ok., so how do you think you 'should' behave? What do you see as being 'normal' behaviour for an adult?
I should have a job and be earning my own money. Not scrounging off the government. I have heard so many working people express anger and resentment at having to pay taxes, so that others can have benefits.
Ok. So how much income tax actually goes towards benefits? It is 20%. (UK) Therefore the working population are taxed 80% for many more things. Why are you so worried?
People will hate me and ridicule me. I feel so ashamed at not being able to support myself. I know I have more potential.
It is highly unlikely anyone will bat an eyelid about you being on benefits. Other people are wrapped up in their own lives. Any ill-wishing you receive from them is their karma, not yours. It is time to start releasing the need for the approval of others, a little bit at a time. It is safe for you to be you! It is safe for you to express your feelings and to paint and dance and make a mess!! Please don't expect for this healing to take place all at once. It is likely to happen gently over a long period of time, so that you are not overwhelmed.
What do I need to do?
Be aware. Be aware of when you are trying to please others or gain approval. Be aware of when you are putting their needs before your own. You are your world. You do not need to make others feel safer or be responsible for their fears and insecurities. People are generally living their own lives, and aren't too concerned about what others are doing, as long as it doesn't affect them.
Why do you feel you should have a job like everybody else? Why can't you do the things you love and make money that way?
Because it's standard and acceptable to society. It's easy to go with the majority. It's difficult to forge my own path. I don't know how I would start! Having a mentor would be very helpful. I don't believe I'm good enough. I don't believe I'm worthy of earning money for doing something that makes me happy!!
But you are worthy and you are good enough! Other people are doing it so why shouldn't you?! Why do you feel so unworthy?
I don't know. It still feels too childish. I want to feel deserving of earning money by being my childlike self and drawing or painting, writing, or creating in some other way. Or helping people! I feel if I'm earning money then it should be by directly helping others. Being creative feels selfish.
You are worthy. You are good enough. You are talented and deserving of using this talent and nurturing it. By being creative you are shining your own light into the world and making it ok for others to do the same. You are forging a path through which others can follow. You are making it easier for them! Therefore you would be helping others by being creative! You would be helping others to shine their love and light into the world!
It still feels difficult to draw or paint. I still feel a resistance to it.
It will take time, patience and practice. Start slowly- maybe even 15 mins of doodling at a time. Opening up to your creativity, it will be very healing and open many new doors for you! Allow yourself to feel worthy! Allow yourself to receive from the universe- be it financial gifts, or spiritual ones!
Thank you for the guidance and for caring enough to sit and listen to me.
So I don't feel loads better. But I am grateful for the guidance, whether this is from my higher self or a spirit guide. I am grateful to myself for writing, rather than running to the chocolate straight away. I am grateful to myself for at least trying to overcome unhealthy habits. I am doing my best in these circumstances with the tools that I have.
I love and approve of myself just as I am.
I am worthy of living as my true self.
I am worthy of expressing my true self creatively!

text:
Twenty-four years ago, in an act of ghastly malice, a Missouri father plunged a needle filled with HIV-positive blood into his son's vein. No one at the time could've imagined anything worse. But the most astonishing part of all is the life the son turned out to live.
Part One
Badger had a question about his father. Badger was dying, so he chose his words carefully, because he would only have the opportunity to say them once.
"Why did he do such a bad thing to me?"
Badger's real name was Brian. He shared the name with his father, who was standing trial, accused of an inconceivable crime against him.
Badger was 7. He had fevers, a swollen liver, chronic ear infections, fungus growing under his fingernails. He was on 23 oral medications. He had no immune system. A plague—the worst plague—swam the current of his blood.
When he'd been stronger, he had walked the halls of St. Louis Children's Hospital wearing a sign around his neck with the words BIDS FOR and a huge red pair of lips, trying to coax the nurses to kiss him on the cheek. He idolized Forrest Gump, and to every doctor who entered his room he spoke the famous line from his favorite movie, removing a chocolate from a little box on his bed. The doctors would then toss a quarter into his aluminum can as if it were a piggy bank. Years later, his mother could still remember the jingling.
Badger flatlined twice, and the doctors told his mom not to resuscitate him if it happened again. They advised her to prepare for his funeral and she did, picking out the little white suit he'd once worn as a ring bearer.
So Badger wasn't in the courtroom to read his words to his father himself. Instead he dictated them, had them written down for his mother to read in court in the fall of 1998.
"I think he shouldn't ever be out of jail. He shouldn't have done this."
Badger's mom, Jennifer Jackson, struggled to get through the words as she read them to a jury and a judge.
"Why can't he say he's sorry?"
Badger's father, Brian Stewart, was in the courtroom. He listened beside his lawyers from behind a wooden table. He wore a military crew cut and a fresh shave, sitting with his hands clasped in front of his chest. He had said nothing in his own defense in the entire six days of the trial, which in St. Charles County, Missouri, was the trial of the century. But the Honorable Ellsworth Cundiff addressed him directly after hearing Badger's words.
"I believe that when God finally calls you, you are going to burn in hell from here to eternity, and maybe that's the only justice that will come of this when you are finally gone," the judge said. "My thought is that injecting a 10-month-old child with the AIDS virus really puts you in the same category as a war criminal, as the worst war criminal." He went on: "The maximum I can do with you is life in prison. I don't really think that is a very fair sentence, not with what your son is going to have to go through. He is going to die. We all know that."
Brian Stewart was a phlebotomist. He worked evenings. His job was to draw blood from patients at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis. He was particularly adept at using butterfly needles, the very small kind often used in the military or by doctors to comfort frightened children. If other phlebotomists were struggling with a stingy vein, they would ask Stewart to help find it, and using a gentle pair of hands, he would. But Stewart was a strange man. In court testimony he was said to enter areas of the hospital that he shouldn't, giving himself access to all kinds of blood. To have sometimes drawn too much blood from patients. To have kept vials of blood in the freezer of his home.
Stewart was tall and dapper with a prominent dimple in his right cheek. He dressed better than the other phlebotomists, in khakis and ironed shirts, and he wore his lab coat even outside the hospital—a detail that would come back to haunt him.
Stewart had served during Desert Storm right before Badger was born. He met Jennifer in the Missouri town of Troy in 1990, as part of a training program for the armed services. "He was so good-looking," she remembered. He had the crew cut, he dressed nice, and—that dimple. They talked of becoming engaged, though they never followed through.
Jennifer, by her own admission, had an attraction to troubled men. Years after she and Stewart had separated, she recalled their volatile relationship in an investigator's report. She told the police he bruised her, hit her, bit her. She told them that when he was angry, he threatened to give her an embolism by injecting her with a needle full of air. She said that in December of 1990, while she was pregnant with Badger, Stewart demanded that she have sex with him, and when she refused he stuck his entire hand into her vagina and said that he would "ruin" her for anyone else. He was arrested, then called her from jail apologizing and saying he would get help. The charges were dropped.
Stewart did have a tender side. To celebrate the impending birth of their child, he gave Jennifer a framed poem about parenthood. Before Stewart left for Desert Storm, they discussed what it might be like to raise a son. They agreed the boy would take Stewart's first name, just in case he didn't come back. While Jennifer was in labor, Stewart called her from the Middle East. He wanted to know, "How big is he? What does he weigh? Do I have a son?" Badger was born on February 24, 1991.
When Stewart came home from the war a few months later, Jennifer met him at the airport and he held his boy in his arms and wept. They spent Thanksgiving and Christmas as a family. Stewart might open the door for Jennifer, hold her hand, kiss her, talk vaguely of plans for the future—but she says he also smashed a car windshield with his fist during an argument. When she finally told him she didn't want to be with him anymore, he said, I'll decide when I'm going. He'd leave for two or three days, come home for a while, and then leave again.
Jennifer already had a daughter by another man. Her mother told her, You need to make this work. Jennifer eventually checked herself into a psych ward to manage her stress. Stewart started openly questioning whether he was Badger's real father, refusing to pay child support until he was eventually ordered to after a paternity test. He moved to the periphery of his ex-girlfriend's life—the unstable father who wanted a son, then didn't.
Stewart was a strange man. In court testimony he was said to enter areas of the hospital that he shouldn't, giving himself access to all kinds of blood.
One day in February 1992, Jennifer called Stewart at work to let him know that 11-month-old Badger was at St. Joseph Hospital West with bad asthma, in bed with an IV. She remembers the woman who answered the phone asking a startling question: "Are you sure you have the right Brian Stewart? Brian doesn't have a son."
Stewart decided to pay Badger a visit. He arrived at the hospital that day carrying his white lab coat, which he draped over a rocking chair in the hospital room. Jennifer, who was there with Badger, would testify that she thought it peculiar when he said, "I brought my lab coat up because I didn't want to leave it in the car." She complained she was thirsty, and Stewart suggested she leave the hospital room to take a break, to go get a soda—leaving her son with his father for about 15 minutes. When she came back to the room Stewart was in a rocking chair, holding Badger, who was screaming.
Four years later, Detective Kevin Wilson from the St. Charles County sheriff's office caught a case from the Division of Family Services: A child was dying from complications of HIV at St. Louis Children's Hospital, with no known risk factors to have acquired it. The boy had been living a normal, healthy life with his single mom until he was 5. Not until doctors had screened him for numerous diseases, including rare ones that exist only in other countries, did they decide to even test him for HIV.
The mom had no idea what was wrong with him for months, until she remembered a terrible fight she and Stewart had about child support, back when Badger was an infant. "When I leave you, I'm going to leave for good, and I don't leave any loose ends or ties behind," Stewart told her, according to court documents. "You won't need to look me up for child support anyway, because your son is not going to live that long." She asked what he meant. "Don't worry about it," he said. "I just know that your son is not going to live to see the age of 5."
Detective Wilson, a trim man with a neat brown mustache, was also a paramedic, which made him familiar with modes of transmission for HIV in a time when many people still didn't understand how it was spread. He interviewed family members, friends, former babysitters, the child's family doctor and pediatrician. He had the St. Louis County Department of Health administer blood tests to more than 30 people who'd been around Badger in the prior six years of his life. No one was infected. But Stewart had access to HIV-tainted blood, and to his son; he had his knowledge as a phlebotomist; and he had a motive, not wanting to pay child support.
Wilson began building the case that when Stewart was in room 238 of St. Joseph Hospital West in 1992, he had injected his son with HIV using a butterfly needle, connected by a tiny hose to a vial of infected blood that he'd taken from his work and put in a deep pocket of his white lab coat. This, Wilson suspected, was the reason the child's fever spiked, causing him to wail because he'd had a hemolytic reaction to an injection of incompatible blood.
Wilson began shadowing Stewart, eventually confronting him in the hospital parking lot and hauling him down to the station for questioning. Stewart barely spoke a word during more than eight hours of interrogation. He just stared at the wall.
"He felt that no one was smart enough to convict him," Wilson told me. "I said, 'Your son has this terrible sickness, and there's no logical explanation.' I told him I was going to paint him as a monster in front of the jury. And during this time we're firmly expecting little Brian to die."
The trial began, and the prosecution unveiled a number of chilling episodes from Stewart's past. His ex-wife, Elizabeth Stolte—whom he had married and quickly divorced shortly after splitting with Jennifer—had two protective orders against him. She took the stand, echoing Jennifer, saying he was abusive: "He threatened me numerous times while we were married and said that if I ever did anything against him, he had ways of getting rid of people that would never be traced back to him."
A National Guard buddy remembered Stewart talking along the same lines: "We were driving and he made a comment to me that if someone would screw with him, he would inject them with something and they would never know what hit them."
Stewart made a convincing villain. "He is a diabolical character," Wilson said. "That father absolutely intended to kill that child when he injected him with HIV."
The defense suggested in turn that Badger could've contracted HIV any number of ways—through needles left in the house by Jennifer's heroin-using sister and her friends, or through sexual abuse, or through some kind of mistake when he was hospitalized as a baby—and that, even if none of those were the cause, the virus could be passed in ways that hadn't been discovered yet.
Jurors were not swayed. They saw pictures of Badger in the wasting stages of illness. He showed no signs of being sexually abused. Jennifer's sister and her friends were HIV negative, as were Badger's blood samples from before February 1992.
Circumstantial evidence is like a rope, prosecutor Ross Buehler said in his closing statement. "The number of strings come together and all together they're very, very strong. It is a very strong rope that bears the weight of conviction." Then he reached into his suit pocket and pulled something out and held it in the air, something almost too small to see. A butterfly needle.
Badger managed to be healthy enough to attend kindergarten, but had to wear a special backpack connected by a long tube plugged into a hole in his stomach, called a G-button. It fed him liquid nutrition because he would barf up regular food, like pizza. Jennifer quit her job and dropped out of college to stay home and care for her son; they survived on food stamps and Medicaid and the Ryan White CARE Act.
As anti-retroviral medication prolonged Badger's life, Jennifer fought to get him into school, teaching the school district all she had learned about HIV. Even then he was forced to use a special bathroom, rode the short bus, permanently lost 80 percent of his hearing because a drug called amikacin killed the nerve endings in his ears.
Badger wore giant hearing aids that clipped on and made his ears stick out. The hearing aids were connected by cords to a fanny pack he had to wear. He spoke with a speech impediment that made him sound dumb. He couldn't play football and couldn't be on the wrestling team. Couldn't even be in Boy Scouts; the troop leaders knew he had HIV and were petrified. He got shoved to the tile floor in fifth grade: AIDS Boy!
He grew to hate his real name. He was aware, even as a child, of being called the same thing as his father. At age 8 he decided to legally change it. He wanted his new name to be Brandon or Shawn, but his mother begged him, if he was going to change his name, to change only the spelling. That name was part of who he was, she told him. So he walked up to a judge and handed him the new spelling, which he thought looked cool: Brryan.
Brryan got suspended from school for fighting back against a group of kids who pushed him into the walls and pinned him onto the floor. He missed almost all of ninth grade because his viral load became detectable again, and he started sleeping 20 hours a day. Brryan was still sick; his new name couldn't change that. People still thought he'd die, and sometimes he wished he would.
Badger, though, he lived. He picked up the nickname at Camp Kindle in Nebraska, a retreat for kids with HIV; one of the counselors chose the name for him because everyone had to have a nature nickname, and Squirrel Bait was already taken. Badger gained confidence, realizing he had a story to tell. By the end of high school, he'd become a minor celebrity, developing a modest career as a public speaker—first appearing in and around St. Charles, making the rounds of local TV, and ultimately traveling to 25 states in his family's Toyota Camry with 102,000 miles on the engine.
One night at the 2009 Alicia Keys Black Ball in New York, Badger found himself at a table with Samuel L. Jackson. He decided to break the ice and said, "Mr. Jackson, nice to meet you. I'm Mr. Jackson." The movie star laughed, and then when Badger told his story, Samuel L. Jackson put down his fancy fork and said, "Wow. Wow!"
Part Two
On a summer afternoon he walks through the glass doors of a Chick-fil-A in St. Charles County. Twenty-three years old, six feet tall and tan, his keys swinging from a chain hooked onto the hip of his jeans. Sandy hair short and mussed, the tips blond from too much sun. Badger.
The girls behind the counter giggle shyly. He's wearing Chuck Taylors with bright blue socks. He nods to the kid with the earpiece taking orders; the kid nods back. Badger used to work for Chick-fil-A, delivering chicken sandwiches and waffle fries.
He pushes a pair of sunglasses away from his eyes. He has a prominent dimple in his right cheek. He leans against the counter with a nonchalant cool—Badger Swagger. That's his thing. He exudes it now. The term is goofy but apropos, with its own social-media hashtag. Whenever he does something silly, like mowing the lawn in a banana suit: #badgerswagger. It even trickles down to the way he slurs his words, a mild speech impediment caused after he lost most of his hearing. "The funny way I talk," he says, "that's just my accent."
It's two days after Father's Day, and Badger's father has been in a maximum-security prison for more than 15 years.
"I actually just tweeted about Father's Day," Badger tells me over his meal. "I have been known to make jokes about it. And some of the jokes make people"—he pauses, sips his drink—"uncomfortable."
Badger's jokes go something like this: He'll hold up an orange shirt and ask, with a sideways grin, "Does this make me look like my dad?" Or he'll post a picture of a license plate to his Instagram as an example of his father's "craftsmanship." And on Twitter: "Knock, knock. Who's there? NOT MY DAD."
He lives a relatively healthy life now, down to just one pill a day, though he still deals with shingles and fatigue and has doctor's appointments every three months to check his blood.
"Man," Badger tells me, "either I could be sitting around being so mad at the situation, or I can sit around and have fun with it. I tried starting a hashtag, Deaf Guy Problems: 'They said work; I heard twerk! #deafguyproblems.' I'd rather be funny than serious any day. Life's about having fun, having adventures. If you want to make a couple jokes about being a bastard child, or not having a father growing up, or being hard of hearing, or being HIV positive, do it. Let me make fun of myself so people don't make fun of me."
It is hard, especially at first, not to see Badger's self-deprecation as a latent childhood defense mechanism that lingered into adulthood, not to suspect that his persona—even the name he still answers to—must suppress a roiling anger. And yet if that resentment exists, it is buried somewhere so deep within him that he either does not or cannot even acknowledge it. To spend time with Badger is to witness a guileless person projecting an attitude of This is my life, and I'm rolling with it.
"I guess this seems easy, or looks easy," he tells me later. "But me and my father…how can I explain it? It's like if you see someone do a skateboard trick. They've taken so much time and dedication. They make it look so graceful. But you try to do it. It's not so easy."
Dating has been tough. Badger has had more than one relationship end after the girl's parents intervened. Fathers generally like him until things get serious. All of which is especially complicated for Badger, because he really wants to be a dad himself. He has a vision, a plan, to pass on a different legacy. "There's this thing called sperm washing," he says. "You won't pass on HIV." To think about having children makes him happy. "I think I'd be a cool dad," he says. "But, well, the guy who thinks he's the cool dad is really the most embarrassing. I have a little bit of fear of that. I don't want my kids to think I'm an embarrassing dad."
That's always his word: dad. He uses it to describe other people, with its implications of longing and love. As in, "Tell me about your dad. I like to hear stories about other people's dads." But father? That he saves only for Brian Stewart. Those two syllables lashed together and dragged through his accent: "Fah-thoh."
Badger has never addressed an envelope to Missouri inmate No. 1018559, never placed a call to the Potosi Correctional Center in Mineral Point. Brian Stewart is someone who comes up only in stories, in a few pictures he's seen, when new friends are curious or when Badger's on the news.
He knows that he and his father look alike. He knows his father requested that Badger share his name. He knows his father claimed to Jennifer that he never had a son, which makes Badger shake his head each time he says it, as though he still can't quite believe it. He knows about the $267 a month in child support his father was sending before he went to prison. Part of Badger is defined by the wondering, by the silence, by the lack of information that renders him incomplete. The mystery and the sickness—the only two things his father left.
He wonders if his father knows he started his own HIV organization, Hope Is Vital. That he went to Kenya and told his story to a nursery full of children with HIV—"It's not a death sentence!"—and danced and sang to Miley Cyrus on a bus that wobbled through the mountains. He wonders if his father knows that he spoke before Congress. That he threw out the first pitch at a St. Louis Cardinals game while standing barefoot in a personalized jersey, B. JACKSON on the back, while the team put a couple of paragraphs about his story on the scoreboard.
Though Badger always talks with a certainty that his father tried to murder him, it's still nearly impossible to wrap his brain around. Badger has his stock reasons, his speculations: He wanted to avoid child support, he wanted to hurt my mom. But he still doesn't actually know.
"I don't really feel anything about him," Badger says. "I don't know the guy; I just know what he has done, and I feel like you have to be accountable for what you've done. Maybe there's some regret; maybe there's a change in his heart. I don't know what he thinks or what he does, but since I've forgiven him, that's all I can do. Just live my life and show him what I'm made of."
While Badger lives the life no one expected him to have, Stewart spends every day by himself in protective custody because the other inmates know why he is there. He talks to almost no one, inside the prison or out, though sometimes he writes letters.
When Jennifer sued the hospital where Stewart worked, reportedly claiming the administration should've known how dangerous her ex was, Stewart wrote a lengthy response filled with proclamations of love for his son: "The good people who know me, know in their hearts and minds that I could never do what I've been accused of." He wrote that he upheld the boy's best interests before knowing that the child was his, that he actually rescued Badger from his mother and persuaded her not to abort him. He wrote that he'd held his son and hugged him, burped him, squeezed him, changed his diapers, bathed him, rocked him to sleep. "As a father, what I loved the most was to see his precious smile, and hear his laughter.…"
While preparing this article, I receive a packet in the mail on Stewart's behalf from a family friend. Inside is a cover letter. No one has tried to hear Brian's side, it begins. The letter makes a list of accusations about Badger's mom and the media and HIV. His son is alive and boasting of his exploits on Facebook. The letter is meant to express that Stewart's son is not only alive but healthy. In other words, that Badger doesn't actually have HIV, and that Stewart has been wrongfully convicted. Also in the packet are old printouts about HIV transmission, letters from Stewart to the governor of Missouri and to the Midwestern Innocence Project, which declined to pursue his case.
At length, Stewart writes to me himself. He is cordial—Please forgive my delay in writing back. He will consent to an interview, he says, only on several conditions, which include "that you absolutely agree in writing that you will print the following, unedited: My son's HIV test was falsely positive."
He also insists that GQ publish "the related scientific facts by experts at both the Perth Group and AliveandWell.org." The former is an Australian organization that believes the existence of HIV to be unproven. The latter is a website that "raises questions about the accuracy of HIV tests." It was founded by AIDS denialist Christine Maggiore, who died in 2008 of an AIDS-related illness, and whose daughter died at age 3, also of complications from AIDS.
Our correspondence ends there.
Today Badger lives in a little house outside St. Louis with a pink flamingo staked in the yard. His address is on a street called Hope Drive.
He had the money to buy the house because of the malpractice suit his mom settled against Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Barnes Health System. Both mother and son are gag-ordered from talking about it, but the settlement allows him a good life.
Pictures fill the house, many of him at Camp Kindle, where he graduated from camper to counselor. Where Badger was a shirtless guy splooshing into the dunk tank each time a kid nailed the bull's-eye with a softball, his old round scar from the G-button glistening with chlorinated water. He was an example of survival, and of transcendence—"He's a miracle," said the counselor who introduced him, as Badger stood in front of a fire late one night, the campers hushed on wooden bleachers, the flames crackling and his face a dire shade of orange. "By the time I got to fifth grade, my own peers would run away from me every day, like I had a gun or something," Badger told them. "They made me begin to believe I was a freak of nature. That there was no place for me on this earth. Like, not only am I a bad kid, but…I'm going to be Just. Like. My father."
The driveway up to Badger's house is covered in words and pictures drawn in colorful, washable chalk: WELCOME TO THE JACKSON SUPERDOME, it says. That's because, on the day I visit, Badger's siblings (his brothers, Colttyn, now 16, and Raydden, 14, plus sister Shannyn, 12) have come to live with him for a while.
Jennifer now has six children by five men; in Badger's mind some of the guys after his father weren't a whole lot better. He says he watched them hit her and saw them leave all but one of those children behind for her to take care of. She wants the kids to be in a better school district and says her last boyfriend has threatened her, so she's taken them to stay with her eldest son. Badger has thus become a type of surrogate father. The boy without a dad, learning to be one.
"I've made some bad choices," Jennifer says. "Brian Stewart told me I was tainted. This leads to a feeling of being hopeless in relationships. When you feel less than other women, you don't think you can ever find a normal relationship. I'm working on it."
Characteristically, Badger puts a good spin on his situation. He likes helping raise his siblings. He checks the kids' homework, takes them to school, keeps a giant box of cheese balls on the counter.
"I've always been skeptical of the guys my mom dates," he says. "All these other A-holes who've been in and out of her life, who've treated her like dirt? Thanks for showing me what a bad person is. That's another thing about my father rejecting me, and also having HIV—you don't always discover who you're supposed to be, but you discover who you're not supposed to be."
When Badger lands speaking gigs, he uses his mother as a source of inspiration for giving up so much of her life to help him survive. "We have choices," he intones, smacking his palms together, "about who we turn out to be."
Leaving the house, I follow Badger to his checkup at St. Louis Children's Hospital, which has a giant hot-air balloon in the cafeteria and colorful outlines of animals on the walls. Children's is connected by a glass skywalk to Barnes, where Badger's father had access to all that blood.
Badger has been treated at Children's every year since he first became sick. The doctors used to pin newspaper stories about his survival onto the hallway corkboard. The patient who flirted with the nurses as a dying little boy has never stopped trying to charm them, even though he understands that what they're testing in his blood will be there forever. He leans against the hospital front desk on his elbows, chatting them up. He still receives a lollipop as a reward for sitting through his checkups.
Badger's red Sperry Top-Siders dangle just above the floor while he sits on the exam table, awaiting his appointment. Using the doctor's light as a prop, he snaps several selfies. His general practitioner enters the room and hugs him. Asks him about his love life and whether he's taking his medication on schedule. Then she tells him, sadly, that he will no longer be treated at Children's. "You are officially an adult now," she says. She wants him to know, though, that she will always follow him, that she will think of him proudly. That watching him grow up has been a story no one could ever forget. They sit together quietly for a minute.
As Badger exits into the hallway, the nurses at the outpatient desk Oooh over him for a final time, comment on how tall he's become—say that he'd better not be a stranger, that he'd better stop by the hospital sometimes because they want to stay in touch. He walks past the animals on the walls, and that giant balloon, and the rooms where sick children fight for a chance to live. As he heads for the parking lot, he still has a lollipop poking out from his bottom lip and a little blue bandage covering the spot on his arm where the nurse drew his blood.

Usually, the move of an established MMORPG to some sort of freemium or free-to-play business model results in an initial surge of new players flooding into a game. So far, all indications available to the public show that EVE Online is experiencing the same phenomenon over the first three days of the introduction of the Alpha and Omega clone sets.
The source of the following information is Chribba's Eve-Offline.net. According to the site, EVE's Tranquility shard has seen over 10,000 characters created in a single day six times. Those dates are:
16-Nov-16: 26,543
17-Nov-16: 19,463
15-Nov-16: 17,815
06-May-16: 14,157
30-Jan-14: 11,696
20-Aug-16: 10,109
Note that the top three dates are the first three dates of the Ascension expansion. But the list also shows that a lot of character creation does not necessarily result in long term concurrent usage, as two more of the top six character creation dates also occurred during 2016.
But the number of players online is up. Here are the peak concurrent usage numbers over the past four days.
14-Nov-16: 29,117
15-Nov-16: 36,620
16-Nov-16: 38,221
17-Nov-16: 39,496
Anecdotally, I can report from the numbers in Rookie Chat, which is made up of all characters online less than 30 days old, that new characters seem to make up 10-15% of all logged in characters. This, to use a technical term, is a good thing.
Personally, on Sunday I expect the PCU number to exceed the mark for 2015 (45,637) and exceed 50,000 for the first time since around March 2014. The question is whether CCP has improved the new player experience enough so that a sizable portion of the players stick around.

One year ago it was chaos for NASCAR fans as the announcement came through there was a new version of the Chase for the Sprint Cup, one that put emphasis on winning, had eliminations, and an expanded field. Many, include me, thought this was the dumbest idea ever and no way would it work. Sometimes I can admit when I'm wrong, and judging by the tempers that overflowed and nail biting season finale at Homestead, this was the correct move for NASCAR to make.
This offseason leading into the 2015 was supposed to be a calm one without much waves being made. Heck, what could top last year's circus atmosphere to start the season? Only one thing, that being Jeff Gordon announcing this year will be his last in the Sprint Cup Series. Bombshell for sure and now that'll be what everyone will be talking about, not only to start the season, but over the course of the 36 race trek across the United States.
It would make sense to start with Gordon, so let's do that. I'm still in disbelief that he is calling it a career after 23 years. You almost think he would race forever, and at age 43 he will walk away many years before some of the stars that came before him. Gordon was in the thick of the points battle until that fateful night in Texas where his title hopes got dashed after a run in with Brad Keselowski. The fight and fire you saw that night, I believe, will carry over into his final season. He should go out with a bang, rather than a whimper, which is why he's calling it quits now. Last season he won the most races in the previous seven season, had the most top-5s and top-10s in the past five seasons. It'll be hard to beat those numbers he put up, but anything will be possible for this team and driver determined to leave on top.
After 11 years with Ford, Carl Edwards makes the jump to the "dark side" of Toyota with Joe Gibbs Racing. He's been putting up decent numbers with Roush Fenway Racing, despite that team going through a decline of sorts. I'm not sure how Gibbs' organization will handle being a four car operation, as only Hendrick Motorsports has figured that balance of four cars out. And even then, it's taken them nearly a decade to perfect it. Many expect Edwards to have the sort of jump in his step that former and now current teammate Matt Kenseth had when he joined the organization for the 2013 season.
Thanks to NASCAR's subjective rules, Trevor Bayne will not be able to run for rookie of the year this season. Despite not having run a full season, he's done enough in prior years (including a Daytona 500 win in 2011) to be deemed experienced. Never mind he'll still have a yellow stripe on his car, he's not rookie according to NASCAR. Thanks to BK Racing picking another rookie to run, we will have a Rookie of fhe Year award winner. That is Jeb Burton. Not finding sponsorship in the Truck Series was the best thing that's happened to him. Unless he talks to Ryan Truex, then it might be the worst thing that happened to him.
Welcome back to the Cup Series Ron Hornaday, Jr., he gets the nod in the new TMG Racing #30 Chevrolet as the "primary driver." Not sure about the wording on that about primary driver, but whatever. I assumed Hornaday's career was done when he got screwed over by the Turner Scott Motorsports fiasco, but instead will try only his second full Cup season. The other was in 2001 running for A.J. Foyt in the #14 Conseco Pontiac, remember that car? It'll be nice to see the 56 year old Hornaday back, I would have trusted him to do more in the Truck Series than Cup, but if the goal is to finish and not tear up cars, then Hornaday's your guy.
Also coming back to the Cup Series is Sam Hornish, Jr., who took his lumps and learned how to race in the XFINITY Series the past few years. I'm rooting for Hornish to do a lot better than he did in his first Cup go around, especially because he's learned not only how to win in a stock car, but also run for a title. I think that is what he needed when he first came to NASCAR in 2008.
Other moves over the offseason include Michael Annett moving to HScott Motorsports (the only cool part about this is now he's running the 46 and his teammate Justin Allgaier runs the 51, Days of Thunder anyone?), Mike Bliss, Bobby Labonte, and Boris Said will run the 32 Ford for Go FAS Racing (lame name), Alex Bowman joins Tommy Baldwin Racing replacing Annett (you won't really notice much out of performance improvements with him in there), JJ Yeley becomes the "lead" driver for BK Racing (whatever the heck that means, more Whoppers?) who have yet announce anything else, and Landon Cassill returns to the 40 of Hillman Racing.
New Chase and a title for Kevin Harvick? You could say he loves this format. While the expectation is for Harvick to slow down in his bid to go back to back, the scary part is how many races the team let go during the course of the season last year. Part failures mostly bit Harvick early in the season, and when it was all sorted out, there was no stopping him from the title. He can only improve, and that will be a big task considering how good his season was.
After nearly pulling up a major upset by winning the title without a win, I hope Ryan Newman comes into 2015 and wins a bunch of races. Not only would it stick it to all the fans who called him out as not being title worthy, but I'm due as a fan of his to see him win again. After winning eight times in 2003, Newman has won seven times since and not more than two times since 2004. He's due, check that, beyond due to win some races.
When it all shakes out I expect the usual suspects up front once again. Jimmie Johnson, Keselowski, Gordon, and others will go for the title. The hard part is figuring which Cinderella stories get into the Chase through fluke wins and which usual suspect gets shut out. Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards should have solid seasons, but I'm putting my early money on ol' six time champ Jimmie Johnson to win his seventh title.

Suppose $G$ is a simple graph. The eigenvalues $\delta_1, \delta_2,\ldots, \delta_n$ of $G$ are the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix $A$. The Estrada index of the graph $G$ is defined as $EE = EE(G) = \Sigma_{i=1}^{n} e^{\delta_i}$. In this paper the basic properties of $EE$ are investigated. Moreover, some lower and upper bounds for the Estrada index in terms of the number of vertices, edges and the Randic index are obtained. In addition, some relations between $EE$ and graph energy $E(G)$ are presented.

About Saccone's
As a boy growing up in Carteret, NJ, I remember going to the local pizza places like Carlo's, Cosmo's, Bella, City Line or Center Bar to pick up two large pies with my dad (if I was good, I got to choose the toppings). I will never forget the distinctive smell of the hot pizza as it burned my lap on the way home and the anticipation of biting into my first slice!
Around the age of nine I started a paper route. What does this had to do with pizza? Keep reading.
So I started a paper route and it was my first step into entrepreneurship. As I grew up, I passed on my paper route to my brother Steve. I worked various jobs at some restaurants near home as a waiter, bartender, greeter and manager before eventually settling into a career in banking. Through those many different experiences, I learned the benefit of hard work, how to handle money, work with people, run a business, and most importantly, how to make my customers happy.
I left the banking business in 1995 to pursue a business of my own. Calling upon my prior restaurant experience, I decided to wait tables and tend bar. I knew some guys – Tony, Teddy, and Jimmy – from my banking days and they were doing pretty well with their own pizza shop.
Calabria II, in Sterling, NJ. In January of 1996, I decided to go to work for my gumba's (that's Italian for "friends") at Calabria II and learn how to make pizza. That's where I met Mike, better known to our customers as Cody.
Years earlier, my parents, Phil and Claire, retired and moved to Leander to spend time with their grandchildren. After several years of visiting my family in Austin, I noticed that there were no "Mom" and "Pop" pizza shops like I grew up with in Jersey. And since there were lots of Yankees moving to Texas I figured that Austin was a good place to open a Jersey pizzeria.
In October of 1996, I moved to Leander and in early 1997 (along with my brother Steve and Cody) started the quest.
On February 14, 1997, Saccone's Pizza & Subs opened its doors for business in Leander. A year to the day later, we opened our Anderson Mill Store near FM620 and Highway 183. That was the historic beginning of Saccone's Pizza & Subs… PIZZA WITH A JERSEY ATTITUDE!
Saccone's Pizza & Subs was built on the premise that if you give the public consistent quality and great-tasting food, they'd tell all their friends and keep coming back for more. And that's why we are now recognized as Austin's only true authentic Jersey Pizza Shop. For those of you Yankee transplants, you know that we're the real deal. For the rest of you, well… we'll make Jerseyans out of you yet. So enjoy the pizza and don't forget to tell your friends. Pizza With a Jersey Attitude!

Okay - so here is that chipboard album from the first post on Monday. Pictures first - then my oh-so-brief commentary. . .
And, because I'm always looking for ways to get my little ones involved, I picked up one of those Knifty Knitter looms this year. Those things are AWESOME!! Kids can really create with them. Here's a couple hats we did together this year (with a matching scarf with the remaining yarn). These children's hats knit up in about an hour - it doesn't get much better than that!

Blow Football
Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK View in OSM NZ
Blow a ping pong ball with a straw to score goals at either end of the table
You Will Need:A ball. The best type of ball depends on the surface of the pitch. If you?re playing on a carpet, a light plastic ball like a Subbuteo ? football or a perhaps a table tennis ball is ideal; if you?re using a smooth surface like a table, you can use a heavier/rougher ball (even a dried pea !)
Two goals (margarine tubs are good).
A large drinking straw for each player
Blow Football
Place a border round the pitch (books might be suitable) to stop the ball going outside the field of play. Then put the ball in the middle of the pitch and ?blow. If you get the ball in the opponents goal you have scored. First to five goals wins.
The only rule is that you?re not allowed to touch the ball while it is in play - with hand, straw or anything else. If you do, the opponent gets a penalty.
Penalty shots:
The offending player (or team if playing two-a-side) has to put down his straw, the ball goes on the middle of the pitch and the other team gets the chance to score unopposed. The offending team are not allowed to touch their straws to pick them up and defend until the other team has restarted.

It's been a while since my last post, I kept meaning too but I fell ill and did not have a lot of energy. I just now am starting to feel better and can talk as I lost my voice. Singing a song is still a ways off, so, as my friend Denise said to me, "Play fiddle tunes" and I will.
That being said, I made it to Barcelona and enjoyed it as much as I could, I did not play my banjo a lot and just tried to recover and get my health back. I just left the city of Rota Spain and am now heading for the city of Cordoba. It has been a great experience and will continue in the USA as I begin to fix up Big Red and get on the road with my music.
Cheers and see you all soon!

Name: Swedish Erotica 113
Duration: 150 min
Country: United States
Language: English
Year: 1995
In the early '70's Caballero was a small start up company, specializing in filming and distributing hardcore adult stag movies. It was an unenlightened era, with uncontrolled censorship permanently closing most adult businesses. Caballero however, preserved, grew and prospered. But it became an overnight sensation when they decided to produce a new 8MM film series called "Swedish Erotica". This new series showcased the most exciting and salacious porn stars of that time. John Holmes, Seka, Aunt Peg, Desiree Cousteau, Serena, and countless others performed their most erotic scenes for these early subtitled home movies. With the advent of video and the personal VCR Caballero's success was meteoric. Hundreds of scenes were shot and released to a grateful world of aroused viewers and serious collectors. We have now carefully combed our extensive archives of classic Swedish Erotica film and video, and selected the nastiest, raunchiest and most infamous scenes and present them to you in this unique Four Hour format. It's our way to saying thanks to all our many fans!

Every time I end up at Target I look at the series 2 blasters and wonder whether they have throwbacks inside. Then I remember that I didn't care much for them anyway, and put them aside. I have yet to journey to the local WalMart.
Still it seems by a comparable time now we had seen the stealth blaster parallels from series 1 rear their heads, so I thought I'd ask Topps if they were coming out for series 2 as well. Here's their response.
Please be advised these will be released in approximately 4 weeks. They will clearly be labeled on the box as black boarder (sic) cards as well. Thank you for your interest in Topps.
So there you go. For those of you waiting for official word before you get in on Grand Cards' group breaks, there's no reason not to anymore.

We are repeatedly told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Sure a yogurt or apple on the go works when you're in a pinch, but there's nothing like sitting down to a proper breakfast with the paper and time to spare. During Monday morning's #Weekendeats chat on Twitter, participants shared what they made and ate for breakfast over the weekend. Here are the highlights:
For the pancake and waffle lovers, Carrie Fehr from the blog Kitchen Garden shared her banana pancakes with maple caramel sauce, Patricia Conte from the blog AZGrabaPlate.com shared her lemon ricotta pancakes with pomegranate syrup, Angela Matta made a German pancake with syrup and powdered sugar and Brooks Walker from the blog CakeWalkr.com made wholegrain waffles with spiced apple butter folded right in.
Lindsay William-Ross visited the Donut Man for the first time and shared this picture of the doughnut case, full of the day's offerings, while Julie Lee shared a photo of her kabocha baked doughnuts.
The most impressive of the bunch was a photo Domenica, from DomenicaCooks.com, shared of a bowl of pho her 14-year-old son made from scratch.

Great performance of Jayne in a Terence Young movie !
Michelle De Ville | Laurentians,Quebec | 06/03/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"For years i was trying to get to see this film.
When I finally found it last year,i was pleasantly surprised.
Jayne offers a serious performance that i found very credible.Even her voice is lower in it's tone,and the numbers when she sings give us an idea of what her Las Vegas shows must have been like(she was the highest paid performer,at 35,000 $ a week !).God knows that Jayne was not offered many serious roles in her film career,but i would say that this one qualifies as a serious one.
The film is directed by Terence Young,and even if the production values are done with a small budget,it is well-paced,with a real story giving us a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes of a stripper in the late 50's.
The serious side of Jayne's performance made me think about her last movie,'Single Room Furnished',which made me sad.
Conclusion:Don't dismiss this film as a 'Bomb' or El-cheapo trashy film,it is not.
Trivia (found of Jayne's site):One of the reason why the film was shot in black and white,had to do with how revealing one of Jayne's costume was(the one you see on the cover)"
Great British Melodrama!!!
viewer | US | 06/07/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is a great classic 1960 british melodrama starring the beautiful,voluptuous Jayne Mansfield.It's a must see!!!"

Jennifer Lopez has 2 ex-hubbys -- one who's trying to use her gig on "American Idol" to re-inject himself into the spotlight ... and one who's simply wishing her well. Can you guess which description fits Chris Judd???
Last night, ex-hubby #2 was leaving Beso with his newer wife, Kelly A. Wolfe, when he told us what he thought about J.Lo.
FYI -- the other ex-hubby we're referring to is Ojani Noa ... who recently announced that he was going to crash this year's "Idol" auditions ... even though he's 8 years past the limit.

PR84 - Favourite teams won in the first round of the European group
The first round of the European group of the 2010 FINA Men's Water Polo World League was held on November 17 in six cities of the Old Continent and had the participation of 12 teams. In these initial matches, the favourite squads won their games and assured an early lead in the competition – the second round of games in Europe will now take place on December 8, 2009.
For Group A, Italy beat Germany 8-5 in Sori, with the locals Stefano Luongo, Maurizio Felugo and Massimo Giacoppo scoring two goals each for their team. On the visitors' side, Paul Schueler was the best, also with two goals.
Moving to Bordeaux, the French team could not do much against an inspired Montenegro, losing by 8-12. Aleksandar Ivovic was the most successful player for the Balkan team, with four goals.
For Group B, the team of FYR Macedonia (playing in Skopje) could not stop Croatia and also lost at home by 7-9. At the end of the two first periods, the two teams were tied at 4-4, but the visitors made the difference in the third quarter, with a 3-1 advantage. Niksa Dobud was the star in the winning team, with four goals.
In Kirishi, home team Russia controlled the operations against Greece, winning by 9-6. Vitaly Yuzchik (RUS) was the most successful player in attack, with three goals.
For Group C, the most unbalanced game of this round took place in Nis, where local team Serbia easily defeated Turkey by 19-5. Andrija Prlainovic, for the Serbians, was the best scorer of the match (and of this European round), with five goals.
Finally, in Oradea, Romania managed to beat Spain by 9-7, after a match in which the locals were always in the lead (7-3 at the end of the third quarter, and then a 4-2 advantage for the Iberians in the last period, which was not enough to reverse the situation). Andrei Iosep (ROU) was the top-scorer of the match, with three goals.
Next round (December 8, 2009): FRA-ITA, GER-MNE, GRE-MKD, CRO-RUS, TUR-ESP, ROU-SRB.

The Statue, a poem by Derek Walcott
As is quite apparent to regular readers of this blog, I am a big enthusiast for the verse of Saint Lucian writer and 1992 Nobel laureate in literature Derek Walcott. This is the reason why I often turn to his poetry when I need blogposts that do not require much time to prepare, research or write, and that is, to me, a perfect excuse to highlight some of his lesser known poems, such as those from the early collections which did not make it into the collected poems edition published by Faber & Faber in 1986.
In this blogpost, I give you a short poem from his collection The Castaway, first published i 1965. I take the text from the 1969 Jonathan Cape paperback edition.
Stone will not bleed;
Nor shall this vixor'ed prince, apotheozised
On his stone steed,
A barrel-bellied charger treading the air,
Its tightening haunches set
To hurdle with its warrior the chasm
Between our age and theirs.
Its eyes erupt, bulge in a spasm
Of marble. We stare
At their slow power to corrupt;
Then turn to read
Around another statue, civic-sized,
Bare, halding head,
Of some archaic, muscular aphorist
Laurelled, toga unkempt,
His forked hand raised like a diviner's rod,
His face creased with the wise
Exhaustion of a god.
Their eyes
Withhold amusement, mine, contempt.
Boys will be boys.
Who can instruct them where true honour lies?
Instinct or choice,
Proclaims it lies within
War's furious, dandiacal discipline.
We, who have known
Its victims huddled in a reeking ditch
Of the staff's iron light hurtling Saul
into pedestrian sainthood at his fall,
Still praise that murderous energy of stone.
On them, your fatherly, exhausted air
Is lost,
As sightless as the god's prophetic stare.
Across that gulf each greets the other's ghost.
