Pocketful of Miracles

Pocketful of Miracles Movie Poster
User rating: 0 0 votes and 0 Reviews

Release Date: December 19, 1961 (limited)

Comedy, Drama

Director Frank Capra's last feature film, Pocketful of Miracles is a Technicolor remake of his 1933 film Lady for a Day. A barely recognizable Bette Davis plays Apple Annie, the besotted, unkempt, rag-clad street vendor who controls the activities of all the beggars on Broadway.

Apple Annie is the pet of Dave the Dude (Glenn Ford), a tough but basically kind-hearted gangster who believes that Annie's apples bring him luck. One morning, Annie fails to show up at her usual corner. That's because she is sitting disconsolate in her squalid shack, contemplating suicide.

The reason: Annie has received a letter from her daughter Louise (Ann-Margret, in her screen debut). Annie has been supporting Louise's high-priced European education, leading the girl to believe that she, Annie, is a high-society dowager.

Now Louise is returning home with her wealthy fiance Carlos Romero (Peter Mann) in tow, and it looks as though Annie's cover will be blown to bits.

Partly out of sympathy, but mostly because of his superstitious belief in the power of Annie's apples, Dave the Dude arranges with his Broadway cohorts to doll up Annie so that she can pass as a woman of means, then stage-manages a huge, expensive reception for Louise and her beau.

The complications that ensued in the original 1933 version of Lady for a Day exercise their prerogative once more, with a few added plot twists to pad out Glenn Ford's screen time. Cutting through the sentimental goo like a machete is Peter Falk, who is hilarious as Dave the Dude's sarcastic bodyguard.

Evidently, Falk was one of the few actors on the set of Pocketful of Miracles with which Capra remained sympatico throughout shooting.

In his autobiography (a not altogether reliable tome), Capra insisted that Pocketful of Miracles was ruined by Glenn Ford's autocratic and self-serving on-set behavior, and by Ford's demand that his current lady friend Hope Lange be (mis)cast as brash nightclub chirp Queenie Martin.

As usual, Capra was not telling the whole story: at 63, he was beginning to lose his grip on his movie-making skills, allowing every scene to run well past its value and concentrating on cute isolated bits rather than the story at hand.

Way too long at 136 minutes (Lady for a Day ran but 90), Pocketful of Miracles still has a lot going for it, especially the glowing performance of Bette Davis and the basic, foolproof Damon Runyon story on which it is based.

While it disappointed at the box office, Miracles has since its release become a Christmastime TV perennial, seldom failing to draw big ratings numbers.

Benson Hut

At 8,350 feet, the site of Benson Hut located under Anderson Peak is a welcome reprieve for any weary back country adventurer.  Whether you've spent the day skiing, snowshoeing, or enjoying a summer hike, it is a comfortable shelter in a storm or on a starry night.

The hut was built in the late 1940s by friends of the Sierra Club to honor John P. Benson Jr., a passionate skier and Sierra Club member killed in action in WWII.  As a skier, Benson would be proud.  The surrounding peaks provide several slopes without the lift lines or crowds, (or chair lift, of course). Benson Hut is one of four huts in the Tahoe-Donner area built and managed by the Sierra Club as alternatives to snow camping for enthusiastic back country users. The club's Clair Tappaan Lodge is located right next door.

The Sierra Club organizes work parties every June- July and September-October for the maintenance of the huts.  As one of the oldest, largest, and most influential environmental organizations in the United States, their impact on the Tahoe-Donner region and environmental conservation as a whole cannot be minimized.  Visiting one of the Sierra Club hut s is truly a great way to appreciate their efforts.

Though settled comfortably six miles from Squaw Valley and three miles from Mt. Lincoln, Benson Hut is known as the most challenging of the Sierra Club huts to access.   With the challenge is the adventure though and the exposed ridges,strong winds, cornices to look out for, and gloriously expansive vistas make this trek back country adventuring at its finest.  Be safe, be prepared, and expect a feeling of euphoria upon reaching your home for the night.

Number of Persons Shelter Will Accommodate

12, there are six fold down cots on the first level and an open space perfect for group bundles in the loft.

Structure Access

Access to the Benson Hut is located about 90 miles northeast of Sacramento.  To get there, use Highway 80 East out of Sacramento, take exit 174 towards Soda Springs and turn right (south). Follow the road a couple of miles to the Sugar Bowl Ski Resort.

At Sugar Bowl, either take the lift or hike up the resort trails to the top of Mt. Lincoln (8,383'). From the top, follow the ridge line to the southeast for approximately 3 miles to the southeast of gorgeous Anderson Peak (8,683'). It is recommended to stay to the west of the ridge line, as the prevailing winds often form cornices over the eastern lip of the ridge. The Benson Hut is nestled on the north shoulder of Anderson Peak at treeline (approx. 8,320'). The hut has an upper and a lower room with three points of entry, each to correspond with different snow levels.

Shelter Warming Source

Wood Burning Stove

Kitchen Supplies Available (if any)

You should anticipate packing in whatever supplies you expect to use.  The kitchen does have a small, somewhat eclectic supply of cooking utensils, and may have paper towel rolls available, but inventory is dependent on all those who have used the hut previously that season. Therefore  it's best to plan for empty cabinets.  Fire wood is available, located in a side room on the first level. However, if you're visiting late in the season prepare for some chopping!  The kindling and smaller pieces tend to get used quickly though a sledgehammer and wedge should be available for splitting.

The lower room's kitchen area offers some counter space, a large dining table, and a wood burning stove.  The hut does not have a sink or a drain (and definitely no running water).  There are large pots available for melting snow or for cooking large amounts on the stove-top.

The lower room also has six cots which unfold from the wall, though the open space of the upper level loft is better utilized for sleeping accommodations if looking to keep the lower level less crowded.

What to Bring

The weather on the ridge can change in an instant, so come prepared.  As with any back country trip, a beacon, shovel, and probe for each visitor are required in case of an avalanche or particularly hairy weather.  One should also bring the standard sleeping bag/pad, extra warm clothes, enough food, a backpacking stove to get some water boiling before the fire heats up, a lighter, sunscreen, and camp shoes.

If visiting in the summer, be sure to check the snow pack and bring enough water for your stay.
Plan to pack out any trash.

Nightly Rate or Fee (if any)

$15.00 overnight fee

Eco-Friendly Notes

Due to the difficulty in trekking materials and equipment to the site whilst preserving its natural environment, it took Sierra Club volunteers over 700 days to complete the Benson Hut.  The conscious mindset for such an effort as well as such a respect for the environment and its elements should be adopted by any visitor venturing into the back country.

Locally or Family Owned Business Notes

Reservations for the hut can be made through the Clair Tappaan Lodge by telephone only.

Winter visitors are encouraged to join summer/fall work parties for hut maintenance since help is always needed!

ADA Accessibility Notes

The hut is not ADA accessible.

Pet Friendly Notes

The hut is dog friendly, and please clean up and pack out any waste.

Living with a heart condition

This article focuses on Joanie Scott’s (52) experiences of having a stroke, how it was treated, and how she dealt with it afterwards.

“Joanie isn’t your typical stroke survivor,” explains Doireann Maddock, Senior Cardiac Nurse at the British Heart Foundation.

She now looks to follow a healthy lifestyle, with an improved diet and more exercise. “After a stroke, patients with those risk factors are advised to change their lifestyles. They may also be prescribed anticoagulant drugs, blood pressure tablets, medication for diabetes and the cholesterol-lowering drug statin. The combination of lifestyle changes and drug treatments can greatly reduce the chance of another stroke.”

According to the Stroke Association around 150,000 people in the UK suffer a stroke every year.

Linger in the Luberon

by Mary.Novakovich

Spring and autumn are the best times to wander through Provence’s best-known regional park and enjoy the lush landscapes and pleasant market towns of the Luberon

There’s no question that the sanest time of year to visit the Luberon is out of season. Those lovely winding D roads are practically empty, rather than thronging with caravans and impatient Parisians on their way to their second homes. The hilltop villages dotted throughout the 600 square miles of Provence’s regional park are delightful and much easier to explore when the crowds haven’t taken all the parking spaces.
Springtime brings vivid colour to the landscape, while in the autumn the vineyards are heavy with ripening grapes and the pumpkin patches are full of bright splashes of orange. Temperatures are comfortably in the 20°s, which is perfect for combining two of the most agreeable activities to do in Provence: walking and exploring the markets. For a civilised travel option, take the high-speed train from London to Avignon and hire a car from the TGV station to get the most out of the region.
The perfect base
There are dozens of charming villages in which to base yourself, but I chose to stay in the region’s capital, Apt, an attractive and bustling market town of about 11,000 people. Unlike many parts of Provence, Apt hasn’t been turned into a French theme park; it’s down to earth, affordable and has one of the best weekly markets in Provence. Pitch up on a Saturday before 10am to have a good nose round the fantastic local produce on offer, as well as the usual provençal souvenirs of patterned fabrics, lavender products and olive oil soaps. The town also has an excellent bookshop that stocks an extensive range of local walking and touring maps. They’re about a quarter of the price of the maps found in specialist travel bookshops in London.
There’s a surprising shortage of decent hotels in Apt, although Le Couvent makes up for it. This 17th-century former convent has been beautifully converted into a relaxing and friendly guest house run by the energetic husband-and-wife team of Laurent and Marie Pierrepoint. It’s elegant yet a bit quirky, and the walled garden has a wonderfully inviting swimming pool. Doubles and suites range from €90-€120 a night including breakfast.
Country walks
Apt’s market gave me the perfect ingredients for a picnic lunch of local cheeses, saucissons, rustic loaves and tomatoes that were bursting with flavour. Then it was only a short drive to the beautiful perched village of Bonnieux, where a three-hour circular walk through vineyards, orchards and woods took me to Lacoste and back. Lacoste has one of the Luberon’s most distinctive features: the hilltop ruins of the castle occupied by the Marquis de Sade. Today the ruins are owned by Pierre Cardin, who has been stealthily buying up many of the village’s houses, to the locals’ dismay. He’s also commissioned some interesting modern sculptures that are scattered around the castle’s ruins. It’s an arresting sight as well a great spot for lunch; the broad expanse of the valley lies before you, stretching for miles around.
Just west of Lacoste is another exquisitely pretty perched village, Ménerbes. Here a circular walk edges along the cedar forests that lie at the bottom of the 2,300ft Petit Luberon ridge. Most of the walk is along the footpath that forms part of the Grande Randonnée (GR) network of paths, and the out-of-season stillness was captivating.
Village charms
The quiet of Ménerbes was in direct contrast with the morning spent in the north-eastern fringes of the Luberon at the lively market at L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. It runs every Sunday and should be visited before the crowds arrive at about 11am. The riverside town is well known as a magnet for antiques lovers, and the dozens of bric-a-brac stalls fight for space with the food, clothing and gift stalls wedged along the water’s edge and tumbling into the narrow streets of the old town.
This northern side of the Luberon has some of the region’s most interesting villages, thanks to various geographical quirks. The same Sorgue river that flows through L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue has its source in nearby Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, home to one of the most powerful resurgent springs in the world. High cliffs form a dramatic backdrop to the huge waterwheels and picturesque restaurants on the riverside.
Carry on eastwards towards the perched villages of Gordes and Roussillon, two of the loveliest landmarks of the Luberon. You’ll find Gordes in the background of many films set in Provence, its distinctive streets spiralling upwards to the old town with its Renaissance chateau. Then head back into the valley further eastwards to the striking ochre village of Roussillon, which sits on the highest of the hills between the Vaucluse plateau and the Coulon valley. Try to time your visit for the late afternoon, when the village’s many shades of ochre look enchanting in the warm light. And, without the high-season crowds, enjoy the peace.

Rail Europe has regular trains between London St Pancras and Avignon.
Europcar offers car hire of a Volkswagen Polo or similar from £29.52 per day.

Student Tutors Write the Stories of Lifetimes

Tuesday, November 23, 2010

PHILADELPHIA (November 23, 2010) - Committing a life's worth of stories to paper is a daunting task, as sophomore education major Melanie Solano can attest. Weekly, Solano interviews William J. McGrath, S.J., a resident of Manresa Hall, the on-campus nursing home for retired Jesuit priests and brothers at Saint Joseph’s University, to record the story of his inspiring life.

A Philadelphia native and the son of Irish immigrants, Fr. McGrath is a former educator who lived through the privation of the Great Depression without his father. Solano is writing his dynamic life story as part of a service requirement for her service-learning course, “Writing Fellows, Theory & Practice.” Service-learning courses are offered through the University’s Faith-Justice Institute.

The second of seven sons, Fr. McGrath grew up in a North Philadelphia parish, the Church of the Gesu. After her husband died at a young age, Fr. McGrath’s mother and her brood of boys found life difficult. “He’s been through so many hardships; I’ve realized how privileged I am,” Solano says. “I’m humbled by the struggles he’s overcome.”

Solano, of Havertown, Pa., is also inspired by Fr. McGrath’s teaching tales, and by his passion for education. “He taught for many years at Scranton Preparatory High School, and he’s still helping students today. Fr. McGrath told me he learns from the students he meets, and believes he’s still of value to them. He’s an educator through and through, and I can only hope to be as influential as he has been when I am a teacher,” she says.

Jenny Spinner, Ph.D., assistant professor of English and director of SJU’s Writing Center, is teaching the course to 10 budding Writing Center tutors, who are training to become peer-tutors.

Each week, five fellows venture to Manresa Hall, and five others visit Inglis House, a nearby nursing care facility for adults with physical disabilities. Spinner says the Inglis House fellows participate in Vital Stories, an existing program at the facility that calls upon volunteers to interview and write the residents’ life stories.

Many of the fellows are reporting enlightening experiences. As a result of her meetings with John B. Woodward, S.J., junior English major Emily Buccieri, of Broomall, Pa., has experienced growth in her spirituality and identity as a student at Saint Joseph’s. “I’ve learned what it’s like to be a Jesuit. This has helped me understand the mission of the University and the amazing people behind it. Fr. Woodward personifies what the institution represents,” says Buccieri.

Writing fellow Maura Southwell of Philadelphia, Pa., a sophomore biology major and John P. McNulty Scholar, believes that hearing about the many accomplishments of Joseph Monaghan, S.J., has inspired her to help her fellow classmates tell their stories. “The interviews have taught me how to really listen to someone, and to hear what the person is actually saying,” Southwell says.

Collectively, the students assigned to Inglis House have been inspired by the unique, heart-wrenching stories of their subjects.

“There are former models, business executives, teachers and other inspirational professionals at Inglis House. Each resident has a story to tell that goes beyond their disorder,” says junior English major William Wells, of Hockessin, Del. “Although they may not be able communicate with the world, I can tell their story.”

James Mannion, a senior religious studies major, says many of the Inglis House residents experience communication barriers that are associated with their disabilities. “Because of the disconnect, some of the nurses and caretakers may not know what the residents have been through,” says Mannion, of Port Washington, N.Y. “I can be the person to share their experiences with others.”

Spinner says the students’ service has helped them become attentive and caring tutors, comparing the Jesuits and Inglis House residents with SJU students seeking help with writing. “Everyone who comes into the Writing Center has a story; it is the job of the fellows to help them tell it,” she says.

Justin Bieber to the Rescue

25 ideas to help raise $1,000,000 in six months for Pencils for Promise (“PFP”) schools in Guatemala.

I started my project by reading the PFP website and looking at their Annual Report to get an understanding for what they are all about.  It is a terrific organization and I was amazed at what they have accomplished in a short period of time.   It was here I noticed their list of donors and thought that working with people who are already committed to their cause would be a good strategy.  Justin Bieber's name is prominently listed and I think one well managed benefit concert by Justin could alone reach the goal.  I fell short of 25 but have listed other ideas in case Justin is not onboard with the benefit concert plan.

  1. Review list of existing large donors and work with them to increase their understanding, passion and contributions for the Pencils for Promise Cause.
  2. Justin Bieber, who is listed as a $50,000 donor in 2011 and has appeared in promotional PFP promotional videos, is a great candidate.  Enlist PFP development staff to work with Justin’s camp to design a two-day tour for Justin of selected schools, followed by a benefit concert in Guatemala City with proceeds going to PFP.
  3. Use some of the $250K seed money to lobby Washington (US Agency for International Development) to earmark additional foreign educational aid to Guatemala, with the proviso that an alliance be formed with PFP to partner with the Guatemala Ministry of Education to disburse funds.
  4. Partner with an eco-tourism company to conduct tours and volunteer opportunities to work on schools in progress for other major donors and their families.
  5. Work with Justin Bieber’s camp, and Pay Per View to broadcast the benefit concert in Guatemala, with a large share of proceeds going to PFP.
  6. The Rainforest Alliance operates within Guatemala, to promote sustainable agriculture and development.  Approach key Rainforest alliance corporate partners who have already shown a commitment to Guatemala to broaden giving to PFP’s educational causes.
  7. Gibson Guitars produces a line of guitars using Rainforest alliance certified mahogany grown in Guatemala.   Approach Gibson to also contribute to PFP.
  8. Ask Justin Bieber to use a Gibson Guitar during the PFP Guatemala benefit concert (see no 2.), and sell it to highest bidder afterwards with funds going to PFP.
  9. A majority of the Palm’s used for Palm Sunday religious services are grown in Guatemala.  Close to 90% of the country is either Roman Catholic or Protestant.   Although possibly controversial, consider a program with mainstream religious development groups such as Catholic Charities to receive funding in return for providing a limited weekly amount of religious education programming in PFP built schools.
  10. 10. Starbucks and Costco, among others sell Coffee grown in Guatemala and have shown an interest in sustainable agriculture in Guatemala, and Starbucks has opened two shops in Guatemala.   Approach Starbucks to deepen their commitment to Guatemala by donating to PFP and offering a promotion to donate a small percentage of Guatemala sourced coffee sales to PFP.
  11. Approach Costco to likewise, donate to PFP and run a promotion on its behalf.
  12.  According to PFP’s annual report, Google donated $300,000 to PFP in 2011.  Google gives its employees a certain amount of time to “play” and work on their own causes.  Present the PFP story at Google headquarters and persuade some key Google employees to donate pro-bono time to furthering PFP’s marketing and fundraising aims.
  13. Use some of the $250,000 seed money for a public relations firm to help write press releases and get stories with links to PFP donation sites in key internet publications such as the Huffington Post and the Guardian and NYT Online.
  14. Approach the US Teacher’s unions to put a link for PFP donations on their website and develop a summer volunteer program for teachers and students.
  15. Talk with Skillshare/Mark Ballard /PFP about offering an additional level of coaching/ support to participants in this course in return for participants donating to PFP

Mediterranean Inspired Balls

Decided to go towards the Mediterranean route and create a meatball that would be drizzled with tzatziki, a cilantro parsley sauce and served with a side of warm naan bread or on top of basmati rice. In this case, it was pita chips.

Tzatziki Sauce:
Plain Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon, dill, garlic, cucumber, salt, pepper.

Cilantro Parsley Sauce:
Cilantro, parsley, lemon, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper

Pork/Veal/Beef mix, bread crumbs, egg, dill, parsley, ricotta, cardamom, cumin, all spice, paprika, salt, pepper

Meatball mix looking like a state.

Out from the oven :)

And finito!

portraits of my father

About 11 years ago my father had a heart attack and my family was reminded how fragile and precious life is. A few years later I began my path with photography and I've always wanted to do a proper portrait of my dad. I've been finding reasons to put off it for far too long and I thought now would be the perfect time to make it happen.

Mood Board:

I'm really inspired by Andy Earl's enviromental portraits of Johnny Cash. I feel like they lend themselves very much to my fathers personality.

I'm talking about London.
London is the capital of the United Kingdom.In the 19th century was the biggest and most important city in the world and the centre of the Great British Empire. Today London is not the biggest city in world but is it one of the most important business, financial and cultural centre. Most of central London is located on north of river Thames. The Westminster cities, is one of the most interesting.
During the reign of Charles II in London were two terrible disasters: the great plague, a terrible bubonic plague which killed thousands of people, and the great fire,which started in a bakery. People tried to stop but they couldn't and the fire spread everywhere for four days.
Today we can see in Westminster the House of Parliament, which were built after the fire, and one of the symbols of London: the Big Ben.
Buckingam Palace, is the official residence of the British monarch. It has an important picture gallery, and most visitors want see the changing of the guard.

China Town is where there are Chinese restaurants and shops. In the end of January, people watch Chinese new year parade.
London is the greenest cities in the world. There are 387 parks! The most famous is Hyde Park with its Serpentine lake, when you can swim or rent a boat. These gardens have beautiful fountains and statues. On summer you can listen concert in the park.
There are more 240 museum in London and most of them are free. The British Museum is one of the most important museum in the world with ancient from all over the world
The city oldest building is the historic White Tower surrounded by walls and other towers.
Tower Bridge, near tower of London, is one of the symbol of London and that cross the Thames.
The period when Elizabeth I was queen, is one of the most interesting. In that period were born the open – air theatre. Elizabethan age was a time of exploration and discovery. Between the London's writers we remember William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Know your types of fat

Know your types of fat
"Fat" is a word that can put a lot of people on edge.

"Fat" is a word that can put many people on edge. Lots of us have a few extra pounds that we'd like to wipe away - love handles, a bigger belly or thick thighs can do major damage to your self-esteem. While there's no magic wand that can get rid of fat, there is an aesthetic procedure that may seem like magic. Liposuction can remove some of the fat from problem areas, such as the stomach, sides, buttocks or waistline. This gives patients a slimmer body contour, and can be particularly useful for those who have trouble shedding pounds with diet and exercise alone.

However, it's important for individuals considering going under the knife to know that there are two different types of fat, and the ways they affect your body are very different. Let's review the differences between subcutaneous and visceral fact, and discuss how it relates to plastic surgery.

Visceral fat
Did you know that there is some fat in your body that is completely invisible to the naked eye? According to U.S. News and World Report, visceral fat lies deep within the body, surrounding the liver. Though this fat may be less problematic from an aesthetic perspective, it can pose serious threats to health. The fat creates substances called cytokines that cause inflammation and can be dangerous to the internal organs. Having high amounts of visceral fat increases your risk for a number of illnesses, including Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Unfortunately, this type of fat cannot be removed via a plastic surgery procedure, but eating well and living an active lifestyle can keep your visceral fat at a healthy level.

Subcutaneous fat
When you complain about the unsightly extra weight on your body, you're talking about subcutaneous fat. This stuff is located just below the skin, and it's what causes us to bulge in all the wrong places. While diet and exercise can help you lose some of this weight, many individuals find that even with a low-calorie meal plan and plenty of time spent at the gym, they simply can't get rid of those extra inches around the waist.

Liposuction surgery targets pockets of stubborn subcutaneous fat. Although a 2004 study in the New England Journal of Medicine saw no reduction in cholesterol or blood sugar following liposuction, a recent study in 2011 showed some reductions in triglyceride levels and white blood cell counts. No matter the ancillary benefits, liposuction should not be seen as a solution for cardiovascular and health problems or a weight-loss plan, but instead a way to improve the shape and contour of your body.

If you think you may be a good candidate for liposuction, book a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. He or she will be able to answer any questions you may have and tell you what sort of results may be achievable.

By: Team Sport Nation 2 weeks ago

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba could face a lengthy period on the sidelines, after limping off just 19 minutes into last night’s Champions League opener. United are yet to confirm the extent of the Frenchman’s injury; however, due to the nature of his exit last night, many suspect that Pogba may have a problem with his hamstring.

Jose Mourinho’s side gave a solid performance last night in their first Champions League game since the 2015/16 season. The Red Devil’s earned a convincing 3-0 victory over Swiss side FC Basel, thanks to goals from Marouane Fellaini, Romelu Lukaku, and Marcus Rashford, but the focus was undoubtedly on Pogba’s early exit.

With a hectic schedule ahead of them, United will be hoping Pogba can make a swift recovery. Jose Mourinho said: “I don’t know (what the severity is). I just know from experience it’s a muscular injury.

“In my experience, muscular injury stops you from playing for a few weeks, I think. It looks for me too (like a hamstring injury) but I haven’t spoken yet to the medical department.”

Man United are set to take on Everton this Sunday (Sept 17).

Home Underdog Hurricanes To Turn The Tables On Rangers

Carolina Hurricanes

Dana Lane

Thursday, March 9, 2017 7:16 PM GMT

Thursday, Mar. 9, 2017 7:16 PM GMT

The New York Rangers travel to Carolina to take on the 'Canes in what looks like an easy winner but Champion Handicapper Dana Lane explains why the Rangers are surprisingly not the side to be on tonight.

It wasn’t hard to predict that the general public would jump on the New York Rangers, even on the road, against a poor Carolina Hurricanes team after the line opened at -130.  As of now, 72% of all tickets written have come in on the Rangers which is great because we’re going to grab the Hurricanes at even money.

Before you make any wager make sure to shop for the best available lines at all SBR approved sportsbooks here.

If the Hurricanes have any guts at all, they will give all they have to atone for a 3-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.  A loss that will embarrass any team so let’s see what Bill Peter’s team is made of.

The Rangers are 3-1 this month but this will be the fifth game in eight days and third in four days for New York. You have to wonder what kind of focus Alain Vigneault’s team who will have as their next two games are against very winnable opponents, Carolina and Detroit.  After road victories against Florida and Tampa Bay I wonder if there is anything left in the motivation tank considering the last five times New York played three games in four days they produced just a 1-4 record in that scenerio.

From a series perspective the home team in this series has won four straight.

The Rangers will be without Henrik Lundqvist who has a lower body injury and Rick Nash with an upper body injury.

Keep in mind, it was just last week when Peters tried to humiliate or perhaps inspire his troops after personally attacking Eddie Lack which led to Lack producing a 24 save, two goals allowed effort, in a loss to Colorado.  Even though his message wasn't directed at Cam Ward, tonight's starter, you can bet Ward internalized Peter's words.  Let's see if Peter's has inspired his team or if he's the captain of a sinking ship.

I wish I could explain how hard it is to write 400 words on why the Hurricanes are the play tonight but honestly it’s just a feeling.

After you’re done reading this get over to our brand new ‘Puck Heads’ video where I have three additional NHL Picks on SBR.

CS:GO ZEN League Finals was played from June 17 to June 18 at the ESL Studios, Sydney, for the prize pool of 39 thousand Australian dollars. Only the top two teams from Asia and top two teams from Australia took part in this tournament - Recca Esports as top Asian team, MVP PK as Asian number two, Team Immunity as the best team in Australia and Dark Sided, as the second best team from Australia. The best team from each continent played against the second best team from the other continent, and the tournament started from the semifinal phase.

In the semifinals, Asian teams came on top - MVP PK defeated Team Immunity by 2:0, while Recca Esports was better than Dark Sided, also by 2:0. In the lower bracket final, Team Immunity confirmed its domination over Dark Sided and defeated them by 2:0. In the upper bracket final, we saw the same thing in the match between the Asian teams. The number one seed Recca Esports defeated MVP PK by 2:0 and qualified for the grand final. MVP PK was better than Team Immunity by 2:0 for the second time in the tournament, and they got the chance for a rematch against Recca Esports. The grand final was more competitive than the upper bracket final, but the winner stayed the same - Recca Esports won by 2:1.

The winner of the tournament brought home 18 thousand Australian dollars; the runner up got nine thousand Australian dollars, the third team got seven thousand Australian dollars, while the last team on the tournament gained five thousand Australian dollars.

Office of Hearings and Appeals

Volume I

Transmittal No. I-3-04

Chapter: I-3-700

Subject: Remands

Action Notes

In I-3-701:

  • In the “Citations” section, add “404.1519f, 404.1519n,” after “404.977,” and add “416.919f, 416.919n,” after “410.665.”

On the page headed I-3-701 cont.:

  • Delete “I-3-711 Remand for Medical Evidence” and all the text that follows to the end of the page.

On the page headed I-3-711 B. cont.:

  • Delete the entire page.

Section 9 of Public Law 98-460 (the Social Security Disability Benefits Reform Act of 1984) requires the Secretary to issue regulations establishing standards for Consultative Examinations (CEs). The Statute provides that the regulations must include standards for determining when to obtain a CE and the type of CE to be purchased, and monitoring procedures for both the purchase process and CE reports. Also, the regulations must reflect that the Secretary will make every reasonable effort to obtain necessary evidence from the claimant"s medical sources before obtaining medical evidence from another source on a consultative basis; develop a complete medical history covering at least 12 months if deciding that the claimant is not under a disability; and consider all the evidence in the claimant"s case record. The Social Security Administration published proposed rules in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register on April 20, 1987 (52 FR 13014). The final rules, published on August 1, 1991 (56 FR 36932), respond to comments, reflect and implement the statutory requirements, and clarify the Secretary"s policy on giving weight to treating source opinions.

This issuance updates Office of Appellate Operations procedures based on the new regulations.

Explanation of Content and Changes

In I-3-711:

  • Subsections A. and B. now make a clearer distinction between remands for existing medical evidence and remands for consultative examinations or medical tests. Subsection B. also provides that remand for consultative examinations/tests is appropriate only if the necessary evidence does not appear to be available from the claimant"s medical sources.

  • Subsection D. now reflects that, when requesting consultative examinations or tests, we will order only the specific examinations and/or tests needed to make a decision on the claim. We will not order a complete examination unless it is required (20 CFR §§ 404.1519f, 404.1519n(d), 416.919f and 416.919n(d)).

  • Subsection D. also contains instructions for requesting medical tests or procedures and incorporates the regulatory prohibition from ordering tests or procedures which may involve significant risk to the claimant (20 CFR 404.1519m and 416.919m).

Personnel who have questions about this issuance should telephone the Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluation at 756-9254.

Insert in I-3-700:

I-3-711, dated October 18, 1991, through I-3-711 C. cont., dated October 18, 1991 (2 pages).

QuickSpec: equational laws for free!

Ever get that nagging feeling that your code must satisfy some
algebraic properties, but not sure what they are? Want to write some
QuickCheck properties, but not sure where to start? QuickSpec might be
for you! Give it your program -- QuickSpec will find the laws it obeys.

QuickSpec takes any hodgepodge of functions, and tests those functions
to work out the relationship between them. It then spits out what it
discovered as a list of equations.

Give QuickSpec `reverse`, `++` and `[]`, for example, and it will find
six laws:

xs++[] == xs
[]++xs == xs
(xs++ys)++zs == xs++(ys++zs)
reverse [] == []
reverse (reverse xs) == xs
reverse xs++reverse ys == reverse (ys++xs)

All the laws you would expect to hold, and nothing more -- and all
discovered automatically! Brill!

Where's the catch? While QuickSpec is pretty nifty, it isn't magic,
and has a number of limitations:

* QuickSpec can only discover _equations_, not other kinds of laws.
Luckily, equations cover a lot of what you would normally want to
say about Haskell programs. Often, even if a law you want isn't
equational, QuickSpec will discover equational special cases of that
law which suggest the general case.
* You have to tell QuickSpec exactly which functions and constants it
should consider when generating laws. In the example above, we gave
`reverse`, `++` and `[]`, and those are the _only_ functions that
appear in the six equations. For example, we don't get the equation
`(x:xs)++ys == x:(xs++ys)`, because we didn't include +:+ in the
functions we gave to QuickSpec. A large part of using QuickSpec
effectively is choosing which functions to consider in laws.
* QuickSpec exhaustively enumerates terms, so it will only discover
equations about small(ish) terms -- in fact, terms up to a fixed
depth. You can adjust the maximum depth but, as QuickSpec exhaustively
enumerates terms, there is an exponential blowup as you increase the
depth. Likewise, there is an exponential blowup as you give QuickSpec
more functions to consider (though it doesn't blow up as badly as
you might think!)
* QuickSpec only tests the laws, it doesn't try to prove them.
So while the generated laws are very likely to be true, there is
still a chance that they are false, especially if your test data
generation is not up to scratch.

Despite these limitations, QuickSpec works well on many examples.

The rest of this +README+ introduces QuickSpec through a couple of short examples.
You can look at the bottom of this file for links to more examples, Haddock documentation and our paper about QuickSpec.

Install QuickSpec in the usual way -- `cabal install quickspec`.

Booleans -- the basics

Let's start by testing some boolean operators.

To run QuickSpec, we must define a _signature_, which specifies which
functions we want to test, together with the variables that can appear
in the generated equations. Here is our signature:

bools = [
["x", "y", "z"] `vars` (undefined :: Bool),

"||" `fun2` (||),
"&&" `fun2` (&&),
"not" `fun1` not,
"True" `fun0` True,
"False" `fun0` False]

In the signature, we define three variables (+x+, +y+ and +z+) of type
+Bool+, using the FUNvars[`vars`] combinator, which takes two
parameters: a list of variable names, and the type we want those
variables to have. We also give give QuickSpec the functions +||+,
+&&+, +not+, +True+ and +False+, using the
FUNfun0[`fun0`]/FUNfun1[`fun1`]/FUNfun2[`fun2`] combinators. These
take two parameters: the name of the function, and the function
itself. The integer, +0+, +1+ or +2+ here, is the arity of the

Having written this signature, we can invoke QuickSpec just by calling
the function FUNquickSpec[`quickSpec`]:

import Test.QuickSpec hiding (bools)
main = quickSpec bools

You can find this code in EXAMPLEBools.hs[examples/Bools.hs] in
the QuickSpec distribution. Go on, run it! (Compile it or else it'll go slow.)
You will see that QuickSpec prints out:

1. The signature it's testing, i.e. the types of all functions and
variables. If something fishy is happening, check that the
functions and types match up with what you expect! QuickSpec will
also print a warning here if something seems fishy about the
signature, e.g. if there are no variables of a certain type.
2. A summary of how much testing it did.
3. The equations it found -- the exciting bit!
The equations are grouped according to which function they
talk about, with equations that relate several functions at the end.

Peering through what QuickSpec found, you should see the familiar laws
of Boolean algebra. The only oddity is the equation +x||(y||z) ==
y||(x||z)+. This is QuickSpec's rather eccentric way of expressing
that +||+ is associative -- in the presence of the law +x||y == y||x+,
it's equivalent to associativity, and QuickSpec happens to choose this
formulation rather than the more traditional one. All the other laws
are just as we would expect, though. Not bad for 5 minutes' work!

Lists -- polymorphic functions and the prelude

Now let's try testing some list functions -- perhaps just `reverse`,
`++` and `[]`. We might start by writing a signature by analogy with
the earlier booleans example:

lists = [
["xs", "ys", "zs"] `vars` (undefined :: [a]),

"[]" `fun0` [],
"reverse" `fun1` reverse,
"++" `fun2` (++)]

Unfortunately, QuickSpec only supports _monomorphic_ functions. The
functions and variables in the `lists` signature are polymorphic,
and GHC complains:

No instance for (Arbitrary a0) arising from a use of `vars'
The type variable `a0' is ambiguous

The solution is to monomorphise the signature ourselves. QuickSpec
provides types called TYPEA[`A`], TYPEB[`B`] and TYPEC[`C`] for that
purpose, so we simply specialise all type variables to TYPEA[`A`]:

lists = [
["xs", "ys", "zs"] `vars` (undefined :: [A]),

"[]" `fun0` ([] :: [A]),
"reverse" `fun1` (reverse :: [A] -> [A]),
"++" `fun2` ((++) :: [A] -> [A] -> [A])]

Having done that, we get the six laws from the beginning of this file.

Perhaps we now decide we want laws about `length` too. We want to keep
our existing list functions in the signature, so that we get laws
relating them to `length`, but on the other hand we only want to see
new laws, i.e. the ones that mention `length`. We can do this by
marking the existing functions as _background functions_, and the
resulting signature looks as follows:

lists = [
["xs", "ys", "zs"] `vars` (undefined :: [A]),

background [
"[]" `fun0` ([] :: [A]),
"reverse" `fun1` (reverse :: [A] -> [A]),
"++" `fun2` ((++) :: [A] -> [A] -> [A])],
"length" `fun1` (length :: [A] -> Int)]

QuickSpec will only print an equation if it involves at least one
non-background function, in this case `length`. Running QuickSpec
again we get the following two laws:

length (reverse xs) == length xs
length (xs++ys) == length (ys++xs)

The first equation is all very well and good, but the second one is a
bit unsatisfying. Wouldn't we rather get
`length (xs++ys) = length xs + length ys`? To get that equation, we need to add
`(+) :: Int -> Int -> Int` to the signature. Adding it as a background
function gives us the law we want.

You often need a wide variety of background functions to get good
equations out of QuickSpec, and it gets a bit tedious declaring them
all by hand. To help you with this QuickSpec provides a _prelude_, a
predefined set of background functions which you can import into your
own signature. The prelude is very minimal, but includes basic boolean,
arithmetic and list functions. We can write our lists signature using
the prelude as follows:

lists = [
prelude (undefined :: A) `without` ["[]", ":"],

background [
"reverse" `fun1` (reverse :: [A] -> [A])],
"length" `fun1` (length :: [A] -> Int)]

A call to FUNprelude[`prelude`] +(undefined :: a)+ will declare the following
background functions:
* The boolean connectives `||`, `&&`, `not`, `True` and `False`.
* The arithmetic operations `0`, `1`, `+` and `*` over type `Int`.
* The list operations `[]`, `:`, `++`, `head` and `tail` over type `[a]`.
* Three variables each of type `Bool`, `Int`, `a` and `[a]`.

In the example above we used the FUNwithout[`without`] combinator to
leave out `[]` and `:` from the prelude, so as to get fewer laws.
QuickSpec also provides the combinators FUNbools[`bools`],
FUNarith[`arith`] and FUNlists[`lists`], which import only their
respective part of the prelude, for when you want more control -- see
the DOCS[documentation] for more information.

In EXAMPLELists.hs[Lists.hs] you can find an extended version
of the above example which also tests `map`.

Advanced: function composition -- testing types with no `Ord` instance

WARNING: this section isn't finished.

IMPORTANT: You can skip this section unless you need to test a type
with no `Ord` instance.

Suppose we want to get QuickSpec to discover the laws of function
composition -- things like `id . f == f`.

If we just define a signature containing `id` and `(.)` (and suitable
variables), the output is rather disappointing:

(f . g) x == f (g x)
id x == x

This is because QuickSpec is giving us laws about _fully saturated_
applications of `(.)` and `id`, that is, `(.)` applied to three
arguments and `id` applied to one argument. In the laws we are after,
we only want to apply `(.)` to two arguments, and we don't want to
apply `id` to an argument at all. To fix this we can declare `(.)`
to have arity 2 and `id` to have arity 1, so that QuickSpec won't
fully apply them:

composition = [
vars ["f", "g", "h"] (undefined :: A -> A),
fun2 "." ((.) :: (A -> A) -> (A -> A) -> (A -> A)),
fun0 "id" (id :: A -> A),

Unfortunately, we get the following error message:

Could not deduce (Ord (A -> A)) arising from a use of `fun2'

To test a law like `id . f == f`, QuickSpec generates a random value
for `f` and then just evaluates the expression `id . f == f` to get
either `True` or `False`.

The error message complains that we are trying to generate laws about
terms of the type `A -> A` (i.e. functions), but as there is no `Ord`
instance for functions QuickSpec has no way of testing the laws.
QuickSpec tests a law like `id . f == f` by generating random values
for `f` and seeing if the resulting left-hand side and right-hand side
evaluate to the same value; it can only do this if it has an `Ord`
instance for the values in question. As there is no way to tell if
two functions are equal, it seems we are stuck!

Hang on, though. We can still _test_ if two functions are equal:
generate a random argument and apply the two functions to it, and see
if they both give the same result. If they don't, they're certainly
not equal. Repeat the process a few times, for several random
arguments, and if both functions always seem to give the same result
then they're probably equal.

This is a common situation -- we have a type, we cannot directly
compare values of that type, but we can make random _observations_
and compare those. For our example, observing a function consists
of applying the function to a random argument. QuickSpec supports
finding equations over types that you can observe. The
observations must satisfy the following properties:

* The observation returns a value of a type that we can directly
compare for equality.
* If two values are different, there is an observation that
distinguishes them.
* If an observation distinguishes two values, they are not equal.

Common pitfalls

WARNING: this section isn't finished.

*I get laws which seem to be false!*
If a law really is false, it means that QuickCheck didn't discover the
counterexample to it. Possible solutions include:

* Improve the test data generation. If you can't change the
Arbitrary` instance for your type, you can use the
FUNgvars[`gvars`] combinator, which is like FUNvars[`vars`]
but allows you to specify the generator.
* If you are testing a polymorphic function, try instantiating it
with the QuickSpec type TYPETwo[`Two`] instead of TYPEA[`A`].
TYPETwo[`Two`] is a type that has only two elements, which may
make it easier to hit counterexamples.
* Use the FUNwithTests[`withTests`] combinator to increase the
number of tests.

*QuickSpec runs for a very long time without terminating!*
QuickSpec works by enumerating all terms up to a certain depth,
and therefore suffers from exponential blowup. Check the output
where it reports how many terms it generated:

== Testing ==
Depth 1: 6 terms, 4 tests, 18 evaluations, 6 classes, 0 raw equations.
Depth 2: 61 terms, 500 tests, 28568 evaluations, 15 classes, 46 raw equations.
Depth 3: 412 terms, 500 tests, 205912 evaluations, 53 classes, 359 raw equations.

Here it's generated 412 terms. If the number gets much above 100,000
then you will probably run into trouble. This can be caused by one of
several things:
* Too many functions in the signature.

*I only get ground instances of the laws I want!*

Perhaps you forgot to add

no variables

*Law not found*

Is it true? Is it provable? Are all necessary functions in the signature?
Do the types match up so that the term is well-typed?

*Get false laws*

Tweak test data generators

*Exponential blowup*

*I want to test a datatype with no `Ord` instance, such as functions*

see function composition

A common mistake when using QuickSpec is to forget to define any
variables of a certain type. In that case, you will typically get lots
of special cases instead of the law you really want. For example,

True||True == True
True||False == True
False||True == True
False||False == False

Where to go from here?

Have a look at the examples that come with QuickSpec:

The fact that Bob Dylan, Tool, Leon Russel, Charlie Parker, Count Basie from the origions arent mentioned makes me fearful for the music industry. The new bands like And You Will Know Us By THe Trail Of Dead and Ghostland Observatory are clearly redefining the genre. No Bob Dylan? SHAME

St Paul's says a final goodbye to its dear friend, Maurice Sills, 101

With great sadness, St Paul's has said goodbye to its dear friend Maurice Sills, aged 101.

Maurice's funeral will be at St Paul's at 5pm on Tuesday 11 July. There will be no advance tickets for the service, which will be held under the Dome.

Maurice passed away on the afternoon of 25 June 2017 at the care home where he was resident in north London, having returned there after a stay in hospital in May.

Maurice, a volunteer at the Cathedral since the 1970s, would have turned 102 in July. Even well past his century he remained one of the most active people at the Cathedral, coming in by Tube most days from north London, and spending most of his time at the Cathedral School where he would read to the youngest pupils.
He was also the Cathedral's 'go-to' proof-reader, casting his eye over orders of service to pick up any errors in copy.
A former teacher, Maurice remained passionate about education but also had a great love of sport, particularly cricket. For decades he made good use of his cricket membership both of Middlesex and the MCC at Lord's, as well as their London rivals Surrey at the Oval.
And if that wasn't enough, Maurice was also a regular in the Carrow Road stands of Norwich City Football Club, a team he followed his entire life.
The oldest of six boys, Maurice was born in 1915 and grew up in South London. In the Second World War he joined the Royal Navy, serving as a Petty Officer in the North Atlantic and off Africa.
After the War, he was married to Ellen and trained to become a teacher. He went on to become a head teacher and retired 40 years ago. Up until he died he was receiving letters from former pupils paying tribute to the support and encouragement he had given them.
In his time volunteering at the St Paul's Cathedral School he saw many children come and go, but had a particular soft spot for a certain Alastair Cook, former England Test captain, who he remembered scoring 110 out of a total of 127 in a game against Westminster Abbey.
To celebrate his 100th birthday Maurice was interviewed at Lord's, and described what it was like to watch the greatest cricketer of them all, Sir Donald Bradman.

Listen to Maurice interviewed at Lord's and describing watching the great Sir Donald Bradman

The Very Reverend David Ison, Dean of St Paul’s said: "We talk of well-known people sometimes as national treasures; but to all who knew him, Maurice was a humble, loving and much-loved treasure himself, who gave himself to others and whom it has been a joy to know.

"The presentation of the St Mellitus medal by the Bishop of London in 2014, awarded in recognition of substantial contribution to the Christian life of London, and the marking of his own century were times for celebration of friendship and service; and the fulfilment of his vocation in teaching meant so much to him till the last.
"Maurice has been ready and waiting for the call to leave us for some years, and now is in the peace which he looked for; perhaps his only disappointment would be missing the opportunity of a last match or two at Lord's.

"Of all the treasures of St Paul’s, none has been more valued than Maurice Sills; we have been praying for him daily during his last days. It was a privilege to know him, and he will be greatly missed by his friends of all ages, in all parts of this country and around the world."
Maurice will be commended to God at the 12.30pm Eucharist at St Paul's on Tuesday 27 June.

May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

Beehive knowledge of Peters' pension problem is explosive

Act Leader demands Peters comes clean over super overpayment.

OPINION: The revelation that a senior Government minister's office was told by officials about Winston Peters' superannuation problem is as explosive as it is disturbing.

It puts the the Beehive squarely in the frame for leaking Peters' private tax and social welfare records.

There are two other possible explanations. Officials from the Ministry of Social Development or Inland Revenue leaked his records - or Peters himself, or someone close to him, leaked the information.

Winston Peters' pension problems should never have been given to National ministers.

Winston Peters' pension problems should never have been given to National ministers.

Both scenarios are still possible,  but seem less plausible now that we know at least one Beehive office was briefed.

Peters goes full Winston on the AM Show over superannuation
Winston Peters, scandal and a recipe for revenge
Winston Peters denies claims he was receiving a single person's entitlement

Prime Minister Bill English will have questions to answer today about how far up the chain the information went, and he will be asked to categorically rule out one of his ministers or Beehive staff leaking the information to media.

Winston Peters has admitted he was overpaid the pension. But who leaked that information?

Winston Peters has admitted he was overpaid the pension. But who leaked that information?

Social Development Minister Anne Tolley was briefed under the "no surprises" rule two weeks ago.

We now know Deputy PM Paula Bennett was also briefed.

That is also concerning; the no surprises rule is supposed to be there to give ministers a heads-up about issues that might affect the Government.

Peters' pension problems do not fall into that category. Peters has admitted he was overpaid the pension and says he repaid the money as soon as it was bought to his attention. It appears he was paid the single person rate when he was living with his long-time partner Jan Trotman.

Ad Feedback

That was not a problem the Government needed to be aware of under the no surprises rule.

A spokeswoman for Revenue Minister Judith Collins has confirmed she was never briefed, and the "no surprises" rule does not exist where personal tax details were concerned.

National certainly has good reason for wanting to knock Peters down. If his vote suffers by a even a couple of points it will likely be National that picks them up.

Risky business given that National may need Peters to govern?

Actually, there is a scenario which the Nats have worked out where they could return to Government without needing any coalition allies.

It relies on the Greens and TOPS party falling just short of the 5 per cent threshold and their wasted vote being divvied up between Labour and National. And it relies on Peters being a few points less popular than he is now.

But National also wants to take Peters down a peg because he has cast fear into the hearts of many MPs in provincial New Zealand, where he has been making real strides.

These reasons are not proof the Beehive leaked the Peters story. And Peters is still not off the hook. He should produce the documentation that shows a genuine error occurred, and also be upfront about how much was paid back. His usual show of dissembling and bravado over it makes him look like he has something to hide.

But there are now questions for the Government to answer as well.

    I been bothered by yesterday's ultrasound. Baby is alright but has too much amniotic fluid. Dr there says it could be the baby is getting too much sugar. Was ready to make changes in everything I eat which I have no problem with doing. Just been scared it maybe something else and scared I don't hurt the baby when trying to correct the problem in my food intake. Plus, the whole food changes and all has been triggering from my history of an eating disorder. Just really hoping I don't go overboard and start restricting again, plus going through "bad foods" "good foods" list, etc. I already told my case manager at the mental health clinic yesterday afternoon. I also told her how I will be out of antidepressants after today's dose. I signed a release of information so the mental health clinic and my prenatal Dr's office can communicate. She called to see if my prenatal Dr can prescribe enough until I see my mental health Dr on Monday and I hope everything goes well. Just so much going through my head. So worried and scared.

    I am posting here as I am asking questions - I am aware that many people here do not believe in God and I don't want to create an inflammatory thread, but if this needs moving to Soap Box then please someone with a Mod Wand do the honours.

    My questions are to the people who believe in God (any God is fine):

    Do you believe there is a point where someone is so 'bad' that God gives up on them/forsakes them?
    Do you think that it is possible for a person to be beyond redemption?

    Thank you xx

    God never gives up, only people do...and no one is beyond redemption unless they stop themselves from it...

    It's easy to think that if I give up then so must god...but god isn't human so...that being said, I think that we must do everything in our power to help ourselves first, to break all those bad habits we we're thought by society and restructure our own count, so don't put yourself last

    I don't believe but from one belife Satan is the incarnation of evil in itself. Not too sure if biblical tersm go beyond Satan, but previous to being the "devil" he was an Angel himself. I think "God" would forgive and welcome Satan back, but I don't think it's about forgiveness persay, but for that being to understand and resist whatever "darkness" is in or around them.
    I don't think there is a beyond redemption but I do think it's not a clean cut case. It's an earnt thing, in some other stories people have in essence damn and exiled themselves when they reach the awareness of their own "evils". They may have overcome them but the retribution owed back has to be endured. Spose that's a degree of Karma in itself.

    You'd have to be preeeetttty far gone to be even considered that extreame.
