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 August are:
Out Our Way:
One highlight of July was having our grandson Sam from Baltimore visiting with us for several weeks. Another highlight was having the house to ourselves when he left. While Sam was with us, we made a trip to visit grandkids in two states and four cities, so he got to visit most of his cousins and aunts and uncles while he was here.
In July, Del and I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary and the advent of a new decade for me when I turned 60 on July 20, 2000. (I wonder how 60 can be the start of a new decade, and still some folks dare to insist that 2000 is not the start of the new millennium. “That is a pedantry up with which I will not put.” I say that about this foolishness, but Winston Churchill said that, when askied about the propriety of ending a sentence with a preposition.)
Important Message to All Those Who Have Changed their Email Address Recently
Here's the Sting: You will NOT receive a Monthly Reminder unless you have Re-subscribed under your new address to DIGESTWORLD. (If you've already receiving DIGESTWORLD Reminders, ignore this message.)
Yes, this message does no good to those who changed their email address without notifying me — but it can alert those of you who are going to change your address.

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.

Read a Poemlet entitled “Doyle’s Operaperta” from my upcoming book, “Yes, and Even More.”
Humor, insights, and history in 28 parts. You can read it on-line at:

For those of you who have never used a listserv or subscribed to a list before, here’s some basic background on lists. The instructions in this section are complete and comprehensive, everything you need to know for subscribing and unsubscribing, but it will be confusing to many of you, so ignore it at first. Once you’re subscribed, here’s all you need to know:
If you have some questions that you’d like to ask current users of doyletics, join the World-Wide Doyletics List. For instructions on what a listserv is, how to join, etc, see Digest Item 6.
For those of you who have never used a listserv or subscribed to a list before, here’s some basic background on lists. The instructions at the end of this section are complete and comprehensive, everything you need to know for subscribing and unsubscribing, but it will be confusing to many of you, so ignore it at first. Once you’re subscribed, here’s all you need to know:
To reply to a list, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS HIT “REPLY” and your message will go to EVERYONE ON THE LIST. This is a very powerful tool – sort of an AK-47 of the email world, so be careful when you decide to pull the trigger, your actions will affect everyone on the list. When someone writes a subject that you wish to add comments to, hit Reply button, and write your comments. Delete any extraneous text from the original post to reduce the size being transmitted to everyone. Avoid one-liners like, “I agree” – wait till you have more to say than “OK” to generate an email to everyone on the list. If you are confused about how to use the list, write to me directly. If you want a response that you figure might come from one or more members of the list, that’s exactly what lists are created for – go for it. Post away.
Threads – lists develop ‘threads’ which is a techno-buzzword for a series of posts about the same subject. If you simply Reply to a post whose Subject line reads Subject: New List, then your post will show Subject: Re: New List. If you want to start a new Subject or thread, you can Reply to any post, and simply replace the current Subject: with the you want. Then delete all the text of the Reply and start typing new. Or you can choose to simply do a New Msg and enter the listserv name in the To: address field. That name is: doyletics@topica.com – so enter that name in your address book for convenience.
Remember that the ONLY time you need to go to the website at:
http://www.topica.com/lists/doyletics is to learn more about the list. Everything else, subscribing, unsubscribing, and posting messages to list can be done via email.
Okay, here’s another unabashed essay on doyletics in the vesture of a book review. This is a fine book by a Professor of Neurology who is struggling to understand many of the things that are made clear and simple by the nascent science of doyletics. Here’s a quote from the book:
[page 179] The critical formative set of stimuli to somatic pairings is, no doubt, acquired in childhood and adolescence.
In that sentence, he is saying, in effect, that doyles can be stored well up into adolescence. The body of evidence we have accumulated in doyletics provides empirical evidence that no doyles are stored past the age of about five. But he gets many things right and those interested in the neurological underpinnings of doyletics would do well to read the book.
Steiner clearly states that his aim of his essay is to remedy a lack in Kant’s philosophy:
[page 11] The aim of the following inquiry is to remedy the lack described above. Unlike Kant, the purpose here is not to show what our faculty of knowledge cannot do, but rather to show what it is really able to achieve.
He engages Kant in a philosophical arm-wrestling bout, and the Reader is left to judge who wins hands down. If you have a known allergy to epistemology, you are excused from reading this review; if, on the other hand, you don’t know a thing about episte. . . what? – by all means read it.
Are the names Giordano Bruno, Paracelsus, Nicolas of Cusa, Jacob Boehme, Angelus Silesius, Meister Eckhart, Johannes Tauler, and Valentine Wiegel unknown to you? Want to keep it that way? Don’t read the review of this book. In these Michaelmas lectures from 1900 Rudolf Steiner gives a splendid synopsis of the works of these Renaissance men and how what they did is so important to us today. He tells us, “I hope to have shown in my work that one can be a faithful follower of the scientific philosophy and still seek out the paths to the soul into which mysticism, properly understood, leads.” Scientifically minded skeptics are duly warned to stay away from this review, without a doubt.
“Travels in a Stone Canoe” by Harvey Arden and Steve Wall
In this book the two authors of The Wisdomkeepers give us the story behind their travels across the country into the holy places of the native American tribes to interview their revered medicine men and healers.
May cause you to wonder where the sacred places of your tribe are.
This is an intriguing novel by the author of “Generation X” – who loves phrases that buzz of the younger generations like “all cities have gone random” or “dust in the wind” or “just another brick in the wall.” Matherne’s Rule #25 will come to mind when you read this novel, hopefully before it is made into a movie: “What is the power of an unanswered question?”
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.
All of us have heard about the three most important things in real estate: Location, Location, Location. But how many of you have heard what the three most important things in a database are? And, if you use a computer just for reading emails, those emails you want to save constitute a real, live data base! So, what are those three most important things about using a database? Backup, Backup, Backup.
Now to the rescue to help us remember this comes my friend at Scuttlebutt, Nick Baker, with this musical reminder. Thanks, Nick! ! ! ( published with Nick’s permission, who said to be sure that I give credit to the person who sent it to him: Vicki Felmlee. Thanks, Vicki! )
Sing Loudly to the Tune of the old Beatles’s Song, “Yesterday”
Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be,
And there's a deadline hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.
I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say.
Now all my data's gone and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.

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.
