It's quite different here. Here Cubs only use names that refere to the Jungle Book. And they are called Chase Names. 'Nombres de Caza' in spanish. The rest from Scout to Scouters use TOTEM NAMES in the way you've described before. Exactly. Thank for your kindly message ! ... We have phasers; I vote we blast 'em!

Forwarded from : Williams, Jim (Nasa Computer GURU) READ IMMEDIATLY : WARNING ABOUT A NEW COMPUTER VIRUS RUNNING RAMPENT ON THE INTERNET. ** HIGH PRIORITY ** There is a new computer virus being sent across the internet. If you recieve an Email message with the subject line "GOOD TIMES" -- "DO NOT" -- DO NOT READ THE MESSAGE, DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY. Please read the message below. Some miscreant is sending Email under the title "good times" nation-wide. If you get anything like this, DON'T DOWNLOAD THE FILE OR READ IT! It has a virus that rewrites your hard disk(s), obliterating anything on it. Please be careful and forward this mail to anyone you care about -- I have. ************************************************************ WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!: INTERNET VIRUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ************************************************************ The FCC released a warning last Wednesday concerning a matter of major importance to any regular user of the InterNet. Apparently, a new computer virus has been engineered by a user of America Online that is unparalleled in its destructive capability. Other, more well-known viruses such as Stoned, Airwolf, and Michaelangelo pale in compareson to the prospects of this newest creation by a warped mentality. What makes this virus so terrifying, said the FCC, is the fact that no program needs to be exchanged for a new computer to be infected. If can be spread through the Existing Email Systems of the Internet (and FIDONET TECHNOLOGIES). Once a computer is infected, one of several things can happen. If the computer contains a hard drive (or more), that will most likely be destroyed. If the program is not stopped, the computer's processor will be placed in an NTH-Complexity infinite binary loop - novice computer users will not realize what is happening until it is far too late. Luckily, there is one sure means of detecting what is known as the "GOOD TIMES" virus. It always travels to new computers the same way in a text Email message with the subject line reading simply "GOOD TIMES". Avoiding infection is easy once the file has been received -- by not reading it. The act of loading the file into memory and or the mail server's ASCII buffer causes the "GOOD TIMES" mainline program to initalize and execute. The program is highly intelligent -- it will send copies of itself to everyone whose Email address is contained in a received-mail file or a sent-mail file, if it can find one. It will then proceeed to trash the computer it is running on (including the hard drives) The bottom line here is -- if you receive a file with the subject line "GOOD TIMES", Delete it immediately! Do not read it! Rest assured that whoever's name was on the "FROM:" like wad surely struck by the virus. Warn your friends and local system users of this newest threat to the InterNet (and FidoNet Style Mail Systems) It could save them a lot of time and money !!!

Ron, I saw this in a message to someone else . . . RB>> ...Our lodge is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year... I was active in Kaskanampo from about 1962 until 1970, and would like to find out about any 50th anniversary activities. I understand that a few other former TVC members are also electronically connected. Not sure whether I could attend, but if there are some fall things... Jack Goodwin, also active in WWW-310 the 60's, lives in Knoxville and in fact visited our troop meeting (camping practice) last night. We were thinking about a possible trip down to N.AL. later in the year. Could you post dates and places for any scheduled events? Any news would be interesting.

Just like I'm sure you dont toast our JM>President at your everyday meetings. Sorry Jerry: I was questioning 2 different ceremonies at the same time. 1. Flag ceremonies in Scouting. 2. Official Toasts at dinner meetings (such as at Rotary meetings). At our "everyday" weekly Rotary meetings, we DO toast the Heads of State of visitors as a courtesy. When I visit USA Rotary meetings, they do NOT reciprocate the courtesy (have never been at a USA Scouting dinner meeting) and I've always wondered what the theory is behind this. Many of your American ceremonies likely developed after the Revolution (when you walloped us Loyalists!), and perhaps they were deliberately changed at that time to emphasise that you were no longer British. (You have quite different military bugle calls as well. eg. Your "Taps" is quite different from our "Last Post"; so is the Cavalry "Charge".) Seems that there aren't any military historians on this echo, so guess I'll give up on this.
