Thanks, Ed.

When he was a Cub Scout, his den and a few others took a field trip to the
Marshall Space Center in Huntsville AL. One sentence from their welcoming
program for the Scouts has stuck with me: "Every footprint on the moon was
left there by an Eagle Scout."

Now /there's/ a life lesson for those likely to be the leaders of the
next generation: 'Stay on the marked path, no matter what.'

I suppose NH should be nominated for some kind of special "Peace and
Stability" award.

Maybe the kid can even the score by suing NH for failing to exercise due
diligence because the helicopters the state typically used were
unavailable when they were needed.

Thank you. My wife is particularly proud: she and her best friend were
the co-leaders of his Cub Scout den. Of the eight or nine boys in the den,
only four (our son, her friend's son, and two others) stayed in that den all
the way through Cub Scouts -- and _all four_ are now Eagle Scouts.

the rec is like a family and Doug wanted to share a a"happy" moment

WOW! Eagle Scout....that will open doors for your son the rest of his

I think the research /has/ been done. I remember seeing some interesting
statistics, but it pre-dated the Internet and I can't remember the source.

You might find
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...uts_of_America)
interesting, even though far from complete (my father, for example, is
not listed - but I still have his merit badge sash and Eagle Scout pin).

I figured it out. Not enough memory.

I'm running rv 1.9.0.4 w/ flash 10, but I only have 512M RAM. Last night I
was also ssh'd into a headless server with remote xwindows running when I
ran the photobucket site. No doubt just overwhelmed my RAM. I've noticed
FF and Seamonkey have become more bloated and memory hungry over the last
few years. If you run heavy client-side scripts, like slideshows or
youtube, without enough memory, FF will just crash. This morning, free of
the ssh/xwindow connect, the photobucket slide show runs just fine.

I can't comment for other folks. But, I really love the
other churches. They get people spiritually aware, so the
people can recognize the Spirit.

And, congrats on your son's achievement.

Now let's see, you've posted all of 31 messages to USENET going back about 3

who in the Hell are _you_ to tell _him_ that he's doing wrong by sharing

I just watched "Religulous." We non-believers see all religions as

I've never met a Catholic who "cried all day with endless guilt". I don't
know where people get the idea that Catholics are on some kind of guilt
trip--few of them that I have ever met are.
