David Hemblen, an English-born actor who grew up in Toronto and frequently performed in Canadian film, theater and TV, died a week ago at the age of 79. I knew him mostly from his appearances as the covert government agent George in the TV series La Femme Nikita.

Another resident at work. I cannot violate HIPPA by stating her name. Therefore, when I mention the passing of a resident, I will include something I remember of that individual.
The word Empath had been written on her mattress, something I never noticed when I changed her bed in the past. Also, in true Italian style, she was fond of using a certain hand gesture toward those she particularly disliked.

Paolo Gabriele, Benedict's XVI butler who leaked Vatican documents showing how Vatican launders money and other corruption.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Maradona was a living proof that Christianity and communism go hand in hand
