Get the John Adriano mug.a. John Adams (1735-1826) 2nd president of the United States, he helped establish the primacy of the voter when he left office upon the election of an opponent of a rival political party (Jefferson); helped persuade the Continental Congress to adopt the Declaration of Independence; and understood the importance of a strong navy long before other American leaders. But he was often personally offensive and, further, pushed the Alien & Sedition Acts, making it a crime to criticize the president.
b. John Coolidge Adams (1947- ) a minimalist American composer, won the Pulitzer Prize for his choral work based on the 9/11 destruction of the World Trade Center, "On the Transmigration of Souls." A composer of operas, he is most widely known for his minimalist opera "Nixon in China."
c. John Couch Adams (1819–1892), a British mathematician and astronomer, predicted the existence of the planet Neptune, solely on the basis of mathematics and the laws of Newton and Kepler. The Royal Astronomical Society later awarded him its Gold Medal.
d. John Quincy Adams (1767–1848) 6th president of the United States and son of the 2nd, distinguished himself as an early opponent of slavery. But he was a one-term president, having entered office under the cloud of a shady bargain involving the electoral college. He died of a stroke while serving in Congress, in the same room as the young Abraham Lincoln who, unfortunately, had never the time to know and learn from him.

Get the St. John Allerdyce mug.John Abruzzi is a major mob boss played by Peter Stormare in the show Prison Break. He was sentenced to life in Prison for multiple counts of murder. He escaped from Fox River State Penitentiary with the help of Michael Scofield and several other inmates. After escaping the inmates separated. Michael never gave Fibonacci's location. John, now a man of God went to his wife and kids and planned to go to Sardinia, but still wanted to take revenge on Fibbonacci. When he arrived he realized he was set up and surrounded by FBI agents, refusing to go back to prison he held his cross tight in his hands and said, "I kneel only to god. I don't see him here." He raised his weapon and was gunned down. Peter Stormare wanted to pursue his career in movies so requested his television character be killed off. Besides John being shot multiple times in the chest, it is unknown if he is dead (there is no funeral,or definite representation of his death) In an interview he said Fox had requested he come back as John Abruzzi. But Prison Break was cancelled after season 4 (two seasons after John was gunned down) Many believe he survived the ambush through the use of a bullet proof vest (not proven). John may have been a character in season 5, as well as Michael Scofield. But it is left open to the public, many believing John is deceased. Some proof that could back up Johns survival and return would be through foreshadowing when he leaves the group and says,"who know, mayb we'll meet again"
John Abruzzi survived
He was under the protection of GOD
The wiki says John is dead because he was never shown as a character again in Prison Break

Badgers are the members from 5-10, cadets from 11-18 and adults from 18 years.
Being a member is fantastic, its really worthwhile and fun to be a part of something so intricately organised, some people dont realise how much work goes into each duty and how long people spend helping others, but its all worthwhile and a great organisation to be a part of.
