Haha that's great, if I was going to write my own Obit I'd take out a full page prepaid ad that would read like this:

The following people can kiss my fat dead butt...

Well you get the idea.

Communist icon Castro bows out

8 hours ago

HAVANA, Feb 19, 2008 (AFP) — Ailing revolutionary icon Fidel Castro permanently gave up the Cuban presidency on Tuesday, ending five decades of ironclad rule of the island marked by his brash defiance of the United States.

In a message published by the online version of the Cuban Communist Party newspaper Granma, the 81-year-old Castro said he would not seek the presidency again when it is decided later this week.

"I neither will aspire to nor will I accept -- I repeat -- I neither will aspire to nor will I accept, the position of president of the Council of State and commander-in-chief," Castro wrote, almost 19 months after undergoing intestinal surgery and handing power temporarily to his brother Raul Castro.

"It would betray my conscience to take up a responsibility that requires mobility and total commitment that I am not in physical condition to offer," he said.

Castro did not say who he thought should be his successor as president, though most analysts believe Raul Castro, 76, is the obvious choice.

But the elder Castro's reference to a "middle generation" suggests that younger leaders such as Vice President Carlos Lage, 56, should not be ruled out.

The Cuban Revolution "also has the middle generation that learned together with us the elements of the complex, almost unknowable art of organizing and directing a Revolution," Castro wrote, in what could be a hint at leaders to come.

US President George W. Bush said Tuesday that Fidel Castro's decision to step down should begin a "democratic transition" in Cuba, eventually culminating with free and fair elections.

This comment by Bush seems to be comically hypocritical, "free and fair elections"?!! Are you kidding me? From a president who rigged his own. Seth

"I believe that the change from Fidel Castro ought to begin a period of democratic transition," said Bush, who signalled no change in a half-century of tough US policies towards America's one-party neighbor.

"Eventually this transition ought to lead to free and fair elections. And I mean free, and I mean fair -- not these kinds of staged elections that the Castro brothers tried to foist off as being true democracy," Bush said, on the road in Rwanda.

A guerrilla revolutionary and communist idol, Castro held out against history and turned tiny Cuba into a thorn in the paw of the mighty capitalist United States.

The longest ruling leader in the Americas overthrew Fulgencio Batista to take power in 1959 and kept a tight clamp on dissent at home, imprisoning political opponents. Rights groups put the current number of political prisoners at more than 200.

Fidel Castro has said he would never retire from politics and he vowed to continue his editorial writing.

Out of public sight since his surgery, seen only in videos and photos, Castro has often published columns in the Cuban media titled "Reflections of a commander in chief."

"I am not saying farewell. I want only to fight as a soldier of ideas. I will continue writing under the title 'Reflections of Comrade Fidel.' I will be one more weapon in the arsenal that you can count on. Perhaps my voice will be heard. I will be careful," he wrote Tuesday.

Castro's message came just five days before a historic session in the National Assembly in which he was up for reelection for another five-year mandate.

Raul Castro said a month ago that the National Assembly would elect Cuba's next president on February 24, amid speculation that his brother -- for the first time in five decades -- might not be its choice.

Many speculate Raul Castro may become president permanently or that another regime official might move up the ladder.

While Castro appeared to be in better health than a year ago, many Cuba-watchers believed he would never be able to resume the full, wide-ranging powers he used to wield.

Few, however, doubt that Fidel will remain influential.

Famed for his rumpled olive fatigues, straggly beard, and the cigars he reluctantly gave up for his health, Castro dodged everything his enemies could throw at him in nearly half a century in power, including assassination plots, a US-backed invasion bid, and a US trade embargo.

In Madrid, Spain's Latin America minister Trinidad Jimenez said Castro's decision to give up Cuba's presidency will give Raul more power to carry out reforms.

I'd call the twi Movie. "A-crock-of-$ hi t, Now" or "The Island of Dr. Wierwille" of course since Brando is dead we'd need someone else to play Dr.'s part... I think Gary Busey would be great.

Clancy Brown would make a great LCM

Yay!

The Borna disease virus, very interesting, I will be talking to my Dr. about this.

What kind of anti-viral med could work on the brain?

Seth

Found this interesting

I hope I can post it

or go to you tube and put in

Why Does Bipolar Disorder Happen

Hi Oklahoma City WOW,

During my wow year every time I looked at the way rag and saw the head shot of LCM I saw a pen1$ in his mouth. It used to freak me out, this is the first time I every shared that, but the memory came (no pun intended) to me when I was reading your post.

Welcome to GSC,

From Slashdot and Wikinews comes this article:

http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/%22Anonymous%2..._Scientology%22

Quick snip:

The Internet-based group "Anonymous" has released statements on

YouTube and via a press release, outlining what they call a "War on

Scientology". Church of Scientology related websites, such as

religousfreedomwatch.org have been removed due to a suspected

distributed denial-of-service-attack (DDoS) by a group calling

themselves "Anonymous". On Friday, the same group allegedly brought

down Scientology's main website, scientology.org, which was available

sporadically throughout the weekend.

I figured I'd whip a little knowledge on ya, for what it's worth. It's only 10 pages of big type in pdf format.

Lately I've been studying occult symbolism and I was wondering if TWI might have a connection to the Knights of Columbus.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about I can't explain it, not quickly anyway.

If any other secret society comes to mind please reply.

Thanks,

Seth

P.S. to those who hate my short questions, I'm sorry, I like getting to the point.

Happy Winter Solstice!

Something that the japanese watermellon growers have started to produce.

Square watermellons.

Here are the pics to prove it.

In 2001 these things were selling for $83 a piece in Japan.

They might have something here, if they can do that with all fruits then the storage of apples and oranges will be easier.

Imagine cubed potatoes, perfect french fries every time.

Tonight was Anthony's viewing many people came, I think over 100, Aunts Uncle's Cousin's Friend's it was nice to see so many. We went out to eat after.

The service is at 11am the final viewing is from 9-10 am. I wasn't asked to do a reading but I will if I'm asked. I just don't want to walk the gifts up. Seeing how I'm an Atheist I think it would be better for someone who believes in the "Host" to escort the "Host".

Seth

I want to thank the moderating team for helping me with this thread, and handling a very sensitive family matter quickly, their discretion and support is greatly appreciated.

Here's a photobucket slideshow I made.

Here's the Obit:

Giudici

Anthony J.

Suddenly, on November 20, 2007 of Somerdale, NJ. Age 25 years. Beloved son of Kathleen Pollock(nee Sochacki) and the late Dennis Giudici. Dear brother of Denneen Giudici, and step brother of Lisa Robinson. Step son of Greg Pollock and Kathleen Giudici. Devoted nephew of David Giudici, Gloria English, Kevin and Helen Sochacki, Paul Sochacki, and Francine Sochacki. Anthony was a member of the Sons of Italy Mario Lanza Lodge# 2308 in West Berlin. Relatives, friends and members of the Sons of Italy are invited to attend his viewing Tuesday evening from 7:00PM to 9:00PM and Wednesday morning from 9:00AM to 10:00AM at the

COSTANTINO FUNERAL HOME

231 W. WHITE HORSE PIKE

BERLIN, NJ 08009

costantinofuneralhome.com

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 11:00AM at Our Lady of Grace RC Church 35 N. White Horse Pike Somerdale. Cremation and Interment will be private at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to Sons of Italy Lodge #2308 153 Haddon Ave. West Berlin, NJ 08091.

I was informed by my step mother this morning that my younger cousin

Anthony was found dead today.

I don't know much more, I'm very upset.

What makes this even more tragic is his father died in May of this

year. He leaves his Mother and his Sister

many cousins Aunts and Uncles.

The last time I saw him was also the last time I saw his Father which

was at my Grand Fathers funeral. I missed Anthony's Fathers funeral, I

feel really bad I didn't reach out to him at all after his fathers death.

Try this site for more fascinating research.

Hi Seth

I found it fascinating.

Kinda makes me wish I could be around at the start of the new age in 2150 to see "what's next?"

Not likely, though.

Does it make you wonder why there is such a parallel similarity to all these accounts?

It does for me.

Surely it must go beyond the coincidental observance of lights in the sky.

I think there may be a brief, immediate, parallel and basic explanation observed in comparing it to the music of our generation.

ie:The same human concepts presented in music of the 1940s or 1950s continue to be explored in the music of today though the musical forms are miles apart.

There must be some profound reason for the similarities.

I wouldn't even begin to venture a guess what those reasons are.

How can I find this site without going through GSC?

I would like to show it to someone at work without bringing them to GSC.

This by all means is not the last word on the subject, it is however maybe the first time any of you will see and hear something like this.

It may shock dismay and otherwise change your outlook forever, either way you won't be the same again after seeing this, I know I'm not.

Enjoy,

Seth

There was a baby? No body told me there was a baby. Did you know there was a baby? Why didn't anybody tell me there was a baby?

I mean this is fantastic, it's outrageous and preposterous! I think we may have a case here of mistaken identity. We have what's obviously a bath, and what plainly is some dirty bubbly water, but no baby. Where is the baby?

Aside from the obvious references to National Treasure, I'm interested to find out if he may reveal the true meaning of Freemason symbolism and the how they built the pyramids. Because I'm sure that would be a much easier task to take on.

Seth

What do you currently believe?

My primary interest is the overall anonymous statistics of the group.

Good Poll I like it.

Seth

I am from California. I was out of the Way starting in about 1987. However, I can tell you that the likelihood of a branch in Eureka is pretty small due to lack of population. I went to college in Chico which is pretty far north. One of my roomates, also a wayfer, was from Anderson near Redding, CA. This is also very far north. He never told me about a branch in the northern part of California. I doubt if the Way denomination ever had a branch that far north in California. Besides, no reason to sneak up on an arrogant minister like Craig. I would prefer just telling him face to face that his ministry was not worth anything. I wrote him a couple of times in 1987 and told him as much. I even included my name and address.

There is a large population up in Eureka, just a lot of them choose to drop-out. There was a branch up there, it was run by a practicum family corps guy named Tom W**d his wife was Lucy, Doug S**d did visit us and there was another branch leader named Kerry (spell?) I can't remember his last name his wife was Ginelle (spell?) That is most of what I remember.

If you read the way living in love the young man named Sky was mentioned, he was my twig coordinator in Eureka, as far as I know he still lives up there.

Seth

Well George I like balance and sometimes you have to go through some wackos to get to the good stuff, but the availability of uncensored information unbiased presentation is important. So I offered TED and the other to be balanced.

Seth

Geeze Seth,

You've finally broken free of WayWorld, are you sure you want hitch your wagon to an even BIGGER bunch of meatheads?

I mean, crop circles? And, though none of the other names seemed familiar, I know Gary Schwartz is infamous in skeptical circles for his unbridled credulity.

And would you really wanna trust some broad with an obvious, abherrent affection for collagen clown lips?

Might I suggest another website? Maybe spend a little time here:

http://www.randi.org/

Plug in any of the celebrities' names from the sites you've posted in the search engine and see what the skeptical community thinks. Not saying that they're the final word on anything either. But maybe they'll give you a little more circumspection?

Peace, love...
