Each month we take time to thank two of our good readers of Good Mountain Press Digest, books and reviews. Here's our two worthy Honored Readers for this month. One of their names will be in the TO: address line of your email Digest notification. Our Honored Readers for February are:
This month was a fun-filled month that spanned the Sugar Bowl
to the Super Bowl. For over three years the fortunes of our two football teams, the LSU Tigers
and the New Orleans Saints, have tracked each other - through losing seasons, coach firings and
re-hirings, going to post-season games in 2000 and winning, and well on into this season, when
in mid-season their fortunes drastically diverged as the Saints went into the Toilet Bowl, and the
Tigers went into the Sugar Bowl and beat the big noise from Illinois.
The City of New Orleans wins by hosting both the Sugar Bowl and Super Bowl this year to sell-out crowds and street-filled revelers. And with the early Mardi Gras on Lincoln's Birthday,
February 12, this year, the Super Bowl has plopped itself right in the middle of Mardi Gras
season. This Saturday is Groundhog Day and Election Day for a new Mayor in New Orleans. If
the Groundhog sees his shadow and pops back in his hole, we'll have six more weeks of chilly
run-off weather as the two top contenders from a large field of wannabees do their last minute
vote buying, er, shopping.
On Sunday, Super Bowl visitors will become the street parade as they march down Poydras
Street to the Superdome. Laissez bon temps roulez is the year-round motto of the Big Easy and
the good times literally roll down the streets during Mardi Gras, which follows immediately upon
the Super Bowl festivities. If you don't have a friend in New Orleans that likes you enough to
send you a King Cake during Mardi Gras season, by all means cultivate one. If it's too late for
this year, you might bake one yourself using Haydel Bakery's recipe at:
http://www.wwltv.com/morning/recipes/kingcake.htm If you're not a baker, call 1-800-442-1341
and order one for yourself. Ask for the cream cheese filled one and tell them Bobby sent you.
Talk about good!
Our January was a time of warming fires in the hearth, Dad's homemade hogshead cheese cold
on crackers, minestrone soup hot on the stove, and movies on our new DVD player that Santa
installed for us in the Screening Room. We signed up for netflix.com and always have three
DVD's ready to watch, or on their way to or from our home.
I went tuna fishing out of Venice with our
son, John, and his father-in-law, Rod, at the Midnight Lumps about fifteen miles offshore of the mouth of the Mississippi River out of Venice, Louisiana. We boated over three hundred pounds of fish, amberjack, blackfin tuna, and our prize for the day, a 100-lb yellowfin tuna. I caught a 40 lb. blackfin tuna. It was a messy, bloody business and for me it was a case of "Once in a Row is Enough!" See photo of me with my blackfin tuna.
What a busy week! Tuna fishing Sunday. Monday, lunch with my daughter, Maureen, who
turned 40 years old. Friday, Annual Meeting of the Timberlane Civic Association, with good eats
afterward. And Saturday, Maureen's surprise birthday party at Legends. Her two younger sisters
came in town with my two grandsons for the occasion. And the next day we had a Day Retreat
with our Anam Caras.
To round out the month, I received a copy of the interview tapes of Edward Reaugh Smith
[middle name is pronounced "Ray" - like in Foxborough, the "ugh" is silent.] with Dr. Roméo
Di Benedetto. He was interviewed on the material in his book, "The Burning Bush," for the
Renaissance Series of El Paso Community College.
On the 27th we met our friends Ruth and Ted for brunch at Café Marigny. I had the wild
mushroom risotto with eggs and andouille sausage. Later we walked into the French Quarter and
caught the Krewe of Barkus parade marching down Dauphine Street. Barkus is a dog-oriented
takeoff on Bacchus - the carnival parade consists of dogs, costumed, marching, and riding in
shopping carts decorated as floats. This is New Orleans' idea of a dog show. Brass bands, beer,
and bulldogs. "It don't get no bettah dan dat!" as Boudreaux would say.
Important Message to All Those Who Have Changed their Email Address Recently

EASE OF VIEWING NOTES [INCREASE FONT SIZE or ZOOM for Easy Reading]:
FONT SIZE for REVIEWS:
NOTE: For IE9 Browsers, DIGESTWORLD is best viewed at 100% Zoom using OPTIONS: Page, Text Size, Larger
The font size of new reviews has been increased to make reading easier. In IE7&8, you may wish to use 90% ZOOM if the text seems a bit large. (Older reviews will be upgraded as time permits.) In IE9, DIGESTWORLD Photos may overlap, if so, try the Larger TEXT SIZE, a new feature in IE9, which should have been standard in earlier versions.
PHOTO DESCRIPTIONS (Cursor Flyover Problems on some Browsers):
If you have been enjoying the photos in DIGESTWORLD, but have wondered who or what you were looking at, in Internet Explorer simply let your cursor fall stationary over the photo and the photo's description will appear. If your Mozilla Firefox or Netscape 7 browser doesn't provide this handy automatic display, you will need to Right Click on the image and Select the Properties box to view the description. We spend a lot of time providing these descriptions and hope you will read them.
For Firefox browsers here is a simple procedure for viewing DIGESTWORLD which will let you view descriptions by simply placing cursor over the photo. Note: If you did not choose the Open Link in IE Tab option when you installed Firefox, you will need to install the add-in now.
Open the DIGESTWORLD Reminder email while in Firefox.
Right click the link to DIGESTWORLD.
From the drop down menu choose Open Link in IE Tab.
Firefox will open the newsletter in an IE tab and the
photo captions will appear when you let your cursor rest
on the photo. This allows you to have a feature of IE while using
Firefox.
MAC users will be able to view captions if they use Firefox, but not if they use Safari. This is according a Good Reader who values the captions.
EASE OF READING TEXT:
We strive to make DIGESTWORLD issues viewable in all browsers and window sizes. Internet Explorer 9 has finally separated TEXT or FONT SIZE from the ZOOM function! With
Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), the ZOOM function was fixed to keep text on screen as you ZOOM to larger sizes. That's good news as my ARJ1 Reviews were never upgraded to fix this problem and now that is not necessary. If you put things off long enough, you don't have to do them, my German professor told me.
If some of the photos overlap in your browser try setting your text to a larger size. We use "Larger" setting in IE6 browser, and note that smaller sizes of text in some window sizes cause photos and text to overlap. In IE7/8, you can use CTRL+ to increase font size and CTRL- to decrease it using ZOOM function. If you use IE7's ZOOM function and have problems viewing a page, return temporarily to 100% and problem will disappear. Many of the alignment problems for ZOOM'ed pages have been fixed in IE8/9.
Need a good quote to start off a speech? Looking for the exact wording of a quote by Voltaire or
the origin of the phrase, "As above, so below"? A whole spate of new quotes have been added.
Check it out at Bobby's Treasury of Famous and Interesting Quotes:
http://www.doyletics.com/quotes.htm
Check the Frequently Asked Questions or FAQ Page of the Website. A Quick Index to the long
list of questions has been added for your navigation convenience:
http://www.doyletics.com/faq.htm
Many of you have been doing doyle tracing and may have wondered exactly how it is that just
"counting time," as a young friend in Sweden calls it, can create such dramatic changes in your
life. For the answer go this page: http://www.doyletics.com/doymemry.htm -- it contains an
essay on doylic memory with diagrams to show in detail how I imagine that a speed trace works.
The doyletics.com home page has been modified to attract people to the website that may surf in
briefly. The top of the home page has hyper-links for people to get more information about some
particular problem they have that a speed trace could easily eliminate. Check it out at:
http://www.doyletics.com/index.htm
A friend asked me the following question, "Did you see the article in the newspapers about the
fear of flying clinics? Particularly about their ineffectiveness and lack of attendance since 9/11 -
have you ever considered that as a potential area of eliminating fears?" The answer has been
posted on the website on the Frequently Asked Questions FAQ page at
http://www.doyletics.com/faq.htm#fearflying
Another question that comes up is, "How do you do speed traces with children?" I've added an
expanded answer which has instructions for the "surreptitious speed trace with children" on the
FAQ page as well at: http://www.doyletics.com/faq.htm#Childtrace
And finally, the colorful book jacket of the Burning Bush, which I posted in the upper right hand
corner of the review page, seemed to beg for a little animation. It takes a little longer for the page
to load, but I hope you will enjoy it at: http://www.doyletics.com/arj/tbbrvw.htm Also I added
my photo to the top of the list of Digest archives at: http://www.doyletics.com/digest.htm - if
you'll look closely after the loading is done, you'll notice a subtle animation in that photo as
well. (*wink*)
This poem first appeared in my review of Kevin Dann's Lewis Creek Lost and Found without
explanation, so for my good Readers who may have been puzzled by its meaning, I offer one
here. The "Ark of Ages" is the immortal spirit that lives in you, your Individuality, your "I", your
Ego body, that, like an ark, carries you from lifetime to lifetime. In this third millennium after the
birth of Christ, the time has come for us to remember that we are body, soul, and spirit once more
and that this one life is but one leg of a voyage to the stars. At each port we drop off our baggage,
change bodies, and re-board. The baggage we left on the ship from the last leg is still there
waiting for us to lug around and work through on this trip. We are wise to do so and to strive to
avoid creating new baggage for the next leg of our cruise into eternity. As we read the poem, we
in effect ask Moses, Abraham, and Christ Jesus to listen attentively (harken) to our heart and to
help us in our spiritual journey by allowing us to nestle in them, by allowing a part of them to
nestle in us, and finally by helping us to recognize that the immortal part of us nestles within us.
If not now, when?
Ark of Ages, Cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
The creek becomes cradle
The bulrushes rocking
And Moses my dear one
'arken to my heart.
Ark of Ages, Cleft for me,
Let Thee hide myself in Thee.
The sacrifice forestalled
The Angel rushes in
Abraham father of Isaac
'arken to my heart.
Ark of Ages, Cleft for me,
Let Thee hide Thyself in me.
The cradle becomes cross
Holy Ghost rushes in
And Jesus my dear one
'arken to my heart.
Ark of Ages, Cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in me.
One of the pleasures of reading the Journals of Henry David Thoreau is to go walking with him
through the woods and see the world of nature through his eyes. Surely no one today walks
through woods like Thoreau, one might think. Well, Kevin Dann walks through woods and
writes about his walks in a manner strikingly similar to Thoreau. Lewis Creek and its ecosystem
lays exposed for us in all its biological and geological wonder as Kevin engages us in his
exploration of its environs and its history. If you're one who, like me, looks at rocks as just rocks
and plants as just plants, be prepared to find out that the jack pine's proper name is really Pinus
bankiana and that fossilized seaweed in the rock has as its Latin name, Paleophycus incipiens.
What trees and rocks with hidden names populate the area where you live? Take a walk in
Vermont's Lake Champlain area along Lewis Creek and it might set you to thinking about such
things as you enjoy the trek in the good company of a modern day Thoreau.
To read the review and take a walking tour of the past and present of Lewis Creek with Professor Kevin
Dann, click below: http://www.doyletics.com/arj/lclfrvw.htm
This is an extraordinary book. Encyclopedic in its scope, while maintaining a readability that few
encyclopedias ever achieve. One can ill afford to ignore this book if one is interested in
understanding Christianity. The Bible alone is like a treasure map with key portions of the map
cut out to prevent the casual observer of the map from locating the treasure. Edward Reaugh
Smith has scoured Rudolf Steiner's works to locate the missing pieces of the map and has
provided us with a completed map of Christianity and salvation, salvation in the microcosm of
our individual selves, and salvation in the macrocosm for all of humanity.
I hear often from my Good Readers that they have bought books after reading my book reviews.
Keep reading, folks! As I like to remind you, to obtain more information on what's in these
books, buy and read the books — for less information, read the reviews.
The book will eventually be available in E-book, hardback, or paperback form. There is also a
Glassbooks version in the offing. You will be able to order a copy at B. Dalton, Walden, Barnes
& Noble, Borders or amazon.com, but it may take up to six months to get it into Books in Print.
The best source in the meantime is to order your copies from the Xlibris website above.
We welcome your contributions to the support of the website and research into the science of doyletics. For our street address, email Bobby at the address found on this page: http://www.doyletics.com/bobby.htm. Every $25 contribution helps keep this website on-line for another month.
We wish to thank all Good Readers who have made a contribution to the doyletics.com website! A special thanks to Chris and Carla Bryant of Corpus Christi!

My reviews are not intended to replace the purchasing and reading of the reviewed books, but rather to supplant a previous reading or to spur a new reading of your own copy. What I endeavor to do in most of my reviews is to impart a sufficient amount of information to get the reader comfortable
with the book so that they will want to read it for themselves. My Rudolf Steiner reviews are more detailed and my intention is bring his work to a new century of readers by converting his amazing insights into modern language and concepts.

This month we feature Boudreaux and his wife Marie solving everyday
problems the Cajun way. After the full moon in January is the prime time for plowing our South
Louisiana gardens for planting our spring crop of potatoes, unless the sac-au-lait are biting.
