3. ON A PERSONAL NOTE:


== == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==

Out Our Way:

GIVE ME SOME MORE -- the SAINTS are SEVEN and FOUR! (7 wins, 4 losses)

Can you say, "Play-off Bound"? Yes, the Saints are working on a winning season and will play the 49ers in the Superdome while we are flying to Austria for a Mozart's Christmas trip during the first week in December, and then at the Cowboys the next Sunday night, so we might be 10-4 before we get to see them play the Redskins in the Dome on Dec. 17. The Saints whopped the Falcons good. They played them off their feet! Those birds could not move through the air at all. Only the nimble feet of their quarterback kept them within a TD of the Saints and only for a portion of the third quarter. The Saints won going away, 31-13. Mirror-image scores for mirror-image clubs. One on the rise and one on the decline.

When we got our new model cellphones back in July and the only ringtone that was any good on it was "The Saints Go Marching In", that was the first sign that something was brewing. Then a new Brees blew into town, QB Drew Brees, and a new Bush began growing in the Marsh, HB Reggie Bush. Brees has had five in a row 300+ yardage passing games since the Ravens game. It was about then that his shoulder fully recovered from the surgery and he began throwing pinpoint passes. In the Falcons game, Brees' 60-yard Hail Mary pass arched from the Saints 45 yard line into the Falcon's endzone where Copper caught it for a touchdown. Let's call his shoulder fully healed and operational after that mighty pass. The Saints are not perfect, no saint ever was, but if they keep their mortal sins (turnovers) to minimum, they can beat anyone in the league. And that's just Super! Hope Santa, whose a Saint himself, has got Playoff Tickets in his sack for his Saints!

LSU BEATS TENNESSEE AND ARKANSAS

My alma mater, the Purple & Gold Fighting Tigers of Louisiana State University, took that flag that Tennessee players had stuck in the Eye of the Tiger in middle of the field in Tiger Stadium last year and stuck it up the Tennessee Volunteers' aspect this year! In a game full of Tiger penalties and turnovers Tennessee managed to keep themselves in the game until 9 seconds left to go when QB Russell hit wide receiver Early late with a TD in the endzone. Some called it an interception of a pass meant for Dwayne Bowe who was directly behind him at the time. I call it redundancy! Bowe would have caught it if it had gone through Early Doucet's hands. 28-24 for only our second win over Tennessee in Knoxville! How sweet it was!

With the last game of the season for LSU essentially a home game for Arkansas in Little Rock, I kept the video and sound off except when LSU did something good. After a depressing start, allowing Arkansas a quick TD, LSU came back and made it 7-6 and began to hold them to 3 and outs. Arkansas never took the lead again. A wild 4th Quarter of three scores within a minute made it very exciting. Scatback Trindon Holliday ran a 92 yard kick-off return for a touchdown, the first one for LSU since Kevin Faulk's one back in 1998! LSU maintained at least a five-point lead till the end of the game, so the ending was in doubt until an interception at the end of the game. Great game for LSU! Without having to go the SEC Championship, they are in the thick of the BCS Bowl Mix with a good shot at the Rose Bowl for the first time ever!

WATERCOLOR PAINTING OF YOUR BOAT ON A NAVIGATIONAL MAP

We went to the Gretna Art Walk on the second Saturday of the month. It was a brisk morning and a nice day to be walking through the art booths. A misty drizzle fell on the drive there but it stopped by the time we got out. We walked first through the Farmer's Market and then the art area. Took a photo of John Goodwyne who did our lighthouse watercolor. He told me that he is now doing boats on maps. He had several on display and I took a photo of him for you to see in the Digest. Here's what he does: you can take him a photo of your boat and tell him the map of your favorite place to go fishing and he'll design a watercolor for you with your boat directly on that navigational map. John used to raise Black Angus cattle before he retired to paint full-time, and says he makes more money now doing his artworks.

PSALM 83

One Sunday we drove home from High Mass at St. Joseph's Church in Gretna and got ready to meet our good friends Burt and Renee for lunch at the Whole Foods Co. uptown. This was a perfect Sunday for doing lunch: the Saints are away and the game has a 3:15 kickoff. Del and I shopped for some foods and bought some cups of soup and a salad, then we had a great time visiting with our friends. They are rebuilding them home in Meraux where it was flooded by the levee breach in St. Bernard Parish during Katrina. Burt said he'd call us to come visit when he finally got his large metal building installed. His plan is to move their furniture and stuff into it and then refinish the inside of the house downstairs, then move everything back in. I mentioned to him the Psalm 83 verse which was found in an Irish bog and promised I'd send it to him. If you haven't read it or my commentary from a few months ago, click on the link and check it out.

THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS WRONG IN THIS A&P SUPERMARKET

It was a dark and stormy night well into the morning hours, with lots of water from the sky and wind. When I got to A&P on Carol Sue Boulevard and Terry Parkway in Terrytown, I parked close to the door to minimize my walk in the rain. I used my umbrella because of the driving rain, and when I got to the door, it wouldn't open. They had locked the door! In the rain, I had to walk all the way to the other side of the building to try the other door.

What did the manager say, when I explained my problem? "Oh, we had to lock the doors to keep stuff from blowing around." Okay, it was windy. And why was there no sign posted? I inquired. "Oh, that happened before my shift." No one at that A&P takes responsibility for the customers inconvenience, lack of stocking, busted wheels on the grocery carts, and now for locking the doors when it's raining and getting the customers needlessly wet.

The man, who had earlier arrived at the locked door with me and didn't have an umbrella at all, was so upset he told them in a loud voice that he wasn't coming back. The employees blamed the customer for being a foul-mouth, as I overheard them talking later.

After my shopping, with a cart full of groceries getting wet, I made my way through the water-filled parking lot, and my cart hit a cart pothole that nearly sent me and my groceries to the ground in the rain!

Once more I have confirmed the A&P employees never do anything wrong, it is always the customer who is wrong. In spirit of truth-in-advertising, the A&P should post a large sign out in front of their supermarket which proclaims in big letters: The Customer Is Always Wrong in this A&P. That would keep those bad customers away who expect to find the shelves stocked, the store clean, the prices correct, the carts with good wheels on them, the checkout queues short, and the doors working. And, if there is a problem, one of the employees could make a large sign visible from the parking lot, and post it immediately upon locking the door, especially on inclement weather days.

In this Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. Supermarket it seems to me that everyday is an inclement weather day inside! The operators of this supermarket chain must treat their employees like mushrooms. You do know how to grow mushrooms, don't you?

In another shopping adventure, I went to Home Depot and asked five people before I found out where the garden tillers were for sale in the store. The first four uniformed employees were clueless females. The first one I asked who was in the garden center never heard of a "Tiller." I simply waved her away; I wasn't going to train her. The gal in the rental place told me the tillers were in the Inside Garden Center which I already had searched thoroughly twice. Several more stops until finally I saw a man going into Rental area and asked him. He said he had one and took me to the very one I had seen earlier chained up outside for $549. Will look for something smaller. Apparently Home Depot needs a whole lot of training for their post-Katrina staff.

THANKSGIVING DAY at TIMBERLANE

Some pessimists can look at a glass of water and say it is half-empty, but as an optimist, I would look at the same glass and say it was half-full. Thanksgiving Day our home was half-full of our family. Half of our eight offspring were there with spouses and children and half of our living parents were there, namely, Doris Richards, Del's mother. We arranged two dining room tables with extensions and got all sixteen of us including the smallest child, Kyle (3), seated at the table. The 20 lb. Baked Turkey stuffed with oyster dressing was the centerpiece of the meal, surrounded by a Honey-Baked Ham, shrimp-stuffed merlitons, crawfish leek tarts, baked yams, garlic mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, gravy and rice, and an assortment of desserts. Pecan pie, cheesecake, pralines made by Sue, and a special-flavored pound cake from Rosie. We had one small loss, the green bean casserole had a flame-out during the last minute crush to get everything ready and had to be discarded.

I took several family group photos for the refrigerator's family gallery. We have eight family groups and needed replacement for those that Del had cleaned off the fridge. Those outdated photos will go into the scrapbook (together with accumulated clippings of cartoons, Thank You notes, artwork by grandkids, obituaries, and other postings from our humming bulletin board). We paste these into a scrapbook for each year as these become like relics of the year that was 2006 in the coming decades. The stubs of things that were and they tell a lot. What movies did we attend in first run? What concerts? Plays? Parties? Which Saints games did we go to? 2006 was our first ever year for season's tickets. What were Bobby's favorite cartoons that got selected for the fridge? Which of our friends and relatives passed away during 2006? What did Evelyn Clark wear for Halloween? What sport was great-grandson Ben and grandson Sam playing this year? Look at Katie Gralapp in her swimming team uniform and Weslee in his basketball trunks, Thomas in his football uniform. It will remind us when Del went to Katie's swim meets, and when we heard that Thomas said, "I love hitting people and being hit in my foot ball uniform." We'll recall the difficulty we had of finding an empty weekend to make a visit to the Gralapps in Alexandria because Wes and Kim were busy hauling the kids from one event to another.

The four out-of-town grankids spent Thanksgiving night with us: Molly, Collin, Garret, and Kyle. They were very well behaved and a joy to have around. They amused themselves, got themselves ready for bed, and slept all night. On Friday morning, Molly had the two bigger boys, Collin and Garret on an improvised leash and they were pretending to be two dogs named Lightning and Earthquake as Molly mushed them down the hallway and around the sofa in the living room. They even took a trip out into the yard. I took them through the citrus orchard where they picked a bag full of Honey Bell oranges, lemons, grapefruit and navel oranges to take home with them. When we approached the chock full navel orange tree, 3-yr-old Kyle looked up at me with those baby-blues and asked, "Can I have an apple from that tree?" I looked at him with his expectant face, looked over to the navel tree, and then looked back at him and said, "No. You can not have an apple from that tree." I waited. He looked crestfallen. I looked first at him and then at his 6-yr-old brother Collin and asked, "Do either of you know why you cannot have an apple from that tree?" Neither spoke. I waited. A long minute went by when suddenly Collin's eyes brightened up and he said in a loud voice, "Because it's an orange tree!" I said yes, they proceeded to pull and pick their favorite navel oranges. I thought, "How many teachers of our young pre-five kids would have waited long enough for the Collins in their charge to have time to figure out the answer to the question? Many would have simply said, "Oh, that's not an apple tree." and lost an opportunity for the child learn of their resources why Kyle could not have an apple from that tree. Those teach who would have waited, would have done a great service to their charges because the joy of learning that Collin experienced by coming up with the right answer will stay with him forever!

Del relayed to me another story about Collin and Kyle which happened later and also involved Kyle learning something from his older brother. Here's what I remember of the story Del told me about her trip to a play area with our two grandsons:

There was a place where a rope net suspended 10 feet up crossed an open spot to another area and Collin had gone across it by himself and when he looked back, he noticed that Kyle was stopped short of the net. "Come on Kyle," he urged, but Kyle said, "It's too scary."

So, Collin came back across the net and said, "Take my hand." Kyle was hesitant but after some urging from Collin did, and Collin led him across the gap all the while telling him he was safe. When he had gotten about two-thirds of the way over, Kyle said he was still scared and wanted to go back. Collin told him to turn around and look, showing Kyle that he was almost all the way across. When it was time to return over the net, Collin went first and Kyle hesitated. Collin said, "You have to come back by yourself so you will not be scared of this anymore, Kyle." Kyle slowly made his way back, and looked up at his big brother with a big smile and said, "I did it, Collin!"

Sometimes we need the hand of an older brother, parent, counselor or friend to make it through the scary places inside of us. Good job, Granma, for not interfering with the natural play of the two boys and letting Collin teach his brother how to overcome his fear.

A MOZART CHRISTMAS IN SALZBURG, LINZ, VIENNA, and PRAGUE

During December we will be in Europe for a week. We signed up for this Mozart Christmas tour with LPB when we went up to Baton Rouge to the PBS broadcasting studios for the taping of the John Folse German Christmas Show. That show will, by the way, be broadcast in the USA either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day on your local PBS outlet. It is called "A Taste of Louisiana" and the script of the show is taken from John Folse's great book The Encyclopedia of Cajun & Creole Cuisine which I have not finished reading and reviewing. It contains a history of the seven countries and cultures which contributed to our Louisiana cuisine and culture which survives today. The first half of the show is location shots with history, and the second half is cooking in the studio by John Folse and his staff in front of a studio audience. All in High-Definition Television with High-Flavored Food. Get your new HD-capable Flat-Screen wired for business, check your local listings or Google PBS Folse to view, and tune in -- you might catch a glimpse of me and Del in the studio audience of the German Christmas Show.

Till we meet again in these pages of the January Good Mountain Press Digest, may your stockings be full, your hearts light, and the Spirit of Christ fill every corner of your Christmas this year. And let me and Del be the first to wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR for 2007 ! ! !

New Quotes Added to quotes.htm this month:

  • Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities — always see them, for they're always there.
    Norman Vincent Peale

    RJM NOTE: Inspired by Peale, Robert H. Schuller became a possibilitarian and developed Possibility Thinking into a way of life for himself, his family, his Garden Community Church members in California, and the viewers of his Hour of Power weekly telecasts all over the world.
  • Reading Rudolf Steiner is heavy lifting. And there is no way to make it lighter, no "Steiner for Dummies" book. It is not the content of Steiner books which make them difficult — it is the changes in modes of thought in the reader which they require for comprehension. Until new readers of Steiner's books and lectures have developed their muscles by actually reading and attempting to comprehend his words, the words will not create meaning in them. These muscles are required to lift oneself to the level at which Steiner is thinking and writing.
    Bobby Matherne in review of Rudolf Steiner's book, The Riddle of Man.
  • If the only prayer you say in your life is thank you, that would suffice.
    Meister Eckhart

  • Given our monstrous, overgrown government structure, any three letters chosen at random would probably designate an agency or part of a department that could be profitably abolished.
    — Milton Friedman (American Economist)

  • New Stuff about Website:

  • The five most popular doyletics webpages (after Main Page):

          1. Shingles Case Study of Eradicating a Lifetime Disease
          2. Training Exercise Easy Way to Learn the Speed Trace

Music from Lakme creates a wonderful audio-visual demonstration, so turn up your sound and sit back relax for a Blue Angels performane using paper and string. Thanks to Russ Copping for relaying this to me as promised on November 11, 2006.
      http://www.kitelife.com/videos/demo/bethell_promo.htm
    • New quotes added from actual Performance Appraisals — Example: "Some drink from the fountain of knowledge; he only gargled."
    • Added to Grab Art page of Tidbits. Photo of this 800 feet high bridge from Paris to Barcelona was relayed to me by Mark Parker of Metairie, Louisiana on November 1, 2006:

    • Added 32 new items to the Facts Page of Tidbits. Here's a sample:

      Capital letters and non-capital letters are named 'uppercase' and 'lowercase' because before linotype machines when all type was set by hand, the capital letters were stored in a case above that of the smaller, non-capital letters.

      The Declaration of Independence was written on marijuana (hemp paper).

      To save yourself from sinking into quicksand, raise your legs slowly and lie on your back. You'll float till help arrives. (RJM Note: There goes a favorite plot gimmick of mystery novels and movies.)

    • Also added a section called Facetious Facts which will sound true to some people.
    • Added more T-Shirt Humor. Here's an example below:

      People say I have A.D.D, but they just don't understa. . . . OH LOOK! A CHICKEN!

      Thanks to Max Green for sending this one along on Nov. 20, 2006.

      If you have an aging parent or ever anticipate having one or being one, this one's for you. Turn on your sound and sit back and relax.



    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Movies we watched this past month:

    Notes about our movies: Many of the movies we watch are foreign movies with subtitles. After years of watching movies in foreign languages, Arabic, French, Swedish, German, British English, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, and many other languages, sometimes two or three languages in the same movie, the subtitles have disappeared for us. If the movie is dubbed in English we go for the subtitles instead because we enjoy the live action and sounds of the real voices so much more than the dubbed. If you wonder where we get all these foreign movies from, the answer is simple: NetFlix. For a fixed price a month they mail us DVD movies from our on-line Queue, we watch them, pop them into a pre-paid mailer, and the postman effectively replaces all our gas-consuming and time-consuming trips to Blockbuster. To sign up for NetFlix, simply go to http://www.netflix.com/ and start adding all your requests for movies into your personal queue. If you've seen some in these movie blurbs, simply copy the name, click open your queue, and paste the name in the Search box on NetFlix and Select Add. Buy some popcorn and you're ready to Go to the Movies, 21st Century Style. You get to see your movies as the Director created them — NOT-edited for TV, in full-screen width, your own choice of subtitles, and all of the original dialogue.
    P. S. Look for HD/DVD format movies which are now available from NetFlix.

    Misses (Avoid At All Costs): We attempted to watch these this month, but didn't make it all the way through on most of them. Awhile back when three AAAC horrors hit us in one night, I decided to add a sub-category to "Avoid at All Costs", namely, A DVD STOMPER. These are movies so bad, you don't want anyone else to get stuck watching them, so you want to stomp on the disks. That way, if everyone else who gets burnt by the movie does the same, soon no copies of the awful movie will be extant and the world will be better off.

    What a LUCKY MONTH! No AAACs!

    Your call on these — your taste in movies may differ, but I liked them:

    4. CAJUN STORY:
    == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==


    One day Broussard asked his friend Boudreaux if he would help his son, Tee Boy, take his donkey into town to get some seed potatoes for his fall planting. Boudreaux said, “Dat’s a long way, yeah.” Broussard said, “Mais, Boudreaux, that donkey is strong enough to carry both of you, if you want.” So Boudreaux said, “It’s a nice day for a walk. I t’ink I’ll let Tee Boy ride,” and they set off with Tee Boy on the donkey and Boudreaux walking.

    As they walked along the bayou side, some tourists stopped to ask directions and they remarked to Boudreaux, “It’s a shame for you to be walking when the boy is riding.”

    Boudreaux thought about it and decided they was right, so he and Tee Boy swapped places. Later, they passed some Texas roughnecks working on an oil rig who yelled, "Look at that dumb Cajun making that kid walk." So Boudreaux told Tee Boy, “Mais, I guess we’d better both walk.”

    Soon they passed some big city folks having a picnic in the country. “Look at dem dumb Cajuns! They’re walking when they got a perfectly good donkey to ride on.” So, both Boudreaux and Tee Boy decided to get on the donkey and ride together.

    Now they passed the parish priest at Our Lady of Prompt Succor who said, “Shame on you, Boudreaux, for putting such a load on that poor donkey.”

    Boudreaux said, “T'ank you, Father, I do believe you are right, yeah!”

    So Boudreaux and Tee Boy lifted the donkey upon their shoulders and began to carry it into town. As they walked over the bridge crossing the bayou, they lost their grip on the animal and it fell into the river and drowned.

    When Boudreaux told Broussard what happened later, Broussard said, “Mais, I could’ve have told you dat was going to happen!”

    “How’s dat?” Boudreaux asked.

    “Wahl, my Papa always told me, "If you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss yo' ass goodbye.”

    = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

    Pain Perdu (French Toast)

    Background on Pain Perdu (French Toast): AN UPDATED RECIPE FOR PAIN PERDU IS LOCATED IN DIGEST11a.

    Ingredients (Approximate, adjust to available amount of bread) Half a loaf of stale French bread
    Four eggs
    1 TBSP honey
    1 TBSP of cinnamon.
    Sprinkle form of Brown Sugar
    Powdered Sugar
    Half cup evaporated milk
    Maple Syrup

    Preparation
    In a large measuring cup, add eggs, milk, honey, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly with electric mixer or whisk. Slice French bread in one inch pieces. For New Orleans Po-Boy loaves, pieces will be small enough to have crust all around each piece. For larger diameters loaves, cut to serving size pieces. Place bread pieces in shallow bowl and pour liquid over. Ensure each piece gets soaked. Then transfer pieces into deep bowl, pour remainder of liquid into bowl and store overnight in fridge. (Can be cooked immediately, but best if soaked overnight.)

    Cooking Instructions
    Pre-heat frying pan on medium heat.
    Place a couple of pats of butter on the heated fry pan, put two pieces of soaked bread, sprinkle some brown sugar over each piece and cook on one side till dark brown.
    Turning over and sprinkle more brown sugar and cook till done. Press down with spatula slightly to ensure good contact with pan. The little sprinkle of brown sugar on each side adds a crusty texture and delicious flavor.

    Serving Suggestion
    Place two or three pieces on a plate, lightly sprinkle with powdered sugar and pour maple syrup over them. Talk about good!

    6. POETRY by BOBBY from the Sanskrit:
    = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

    [RJM NOTE, November 1, 2006: About thirty years ago, I found this poem typed on an old typewriter on yellowed paper watermarked PERSIAN BOND, Made in U.S.A. It was folded into my copy of Edward Bellamy’s classic book, “Looking Backwards”. I have seen portions of this poem quoted before, but here is the largest portion I’ve ever encountered before. The Author is anonymous, and the words at the bottom said, "From the Sanskrit." ]

                 Look to This Day

    Look to this Day: For it is Life, the very Life of Life
    In its brief course
           and realities of your existence,.
           The bliss of Growth,
           The story of Action,
           the Splendor of Beauty.

    For yesterday is already a dream,
           and tomorrow is only a vision;
    But today, well-lived, makes every yesterday
           a dream of happiness,
    And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

    Look well, therefore, to this Day.
    Such is the Salutation of the Dawn.

    7. REVIEWS and ARTICLES for December:
    = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

    And for my Good Readers, here’s the new reviews and articles for this month. The ARJ2 ones are new additions to the top of A Reader’s Journal, Volume 2, Chronological List, and the ART ones to A Reader’s Treasury.

    1.) ARJ2: The Fabulous Flight of Peter and Gus by Robert Lawson

    This is the story of Peter who grew down instead of up and instead being down about it, he felt very up! For as he grew down, he had incredible adventures that he never had when he was otherwise growing up. He got to ride a jackrabbit, to direct a military display of marching skunks and mice firing miniature cannons, and best of all to fly on the back of his best friend, the seagull Gus. His adventures are sketched out by the artist and fleshed out by the author which are one and the same Robert Lawson.

    This book preceded "Ben and Me" which was made into a cartoon movie a couple of decades ago. My review includes some samples of Lawson's amazing ink drawings of Peter's adventures. The last one is a James Bond-type secret mission to save the world by destroying the weapons of mass-destruction possessed by a thug in a foreign country. country which was very grateful to the young American boy and seagull who risked their lives to save the country from a tyrant who was plotting the destruction of the world.

    Of course, nothing like this happens in real life, does it?

    Enjoy the review and my own trip into my fifty years ago past when I last and first read this amazing story.

    http://www.doyletics.com/arj/fabulous.htm

    2.) ARJ2: The Well of Lost Plots by Jason Fforde

    The Ffunny man Fforde is back and no dramatic cliché will go unpunished or unused, no plot device will appear, whether in a paper bag or sealed in glass orb, without being used, no one will be left wondering why Godot never showed up or what Miss Havisham did in her spare time, or why there is alphabet soup, but no singular for scampi!

    Whenever Thursday is asking how things are going for her, her answer usually sums up her activity quite well. The responses she receives from her summations are usually droll — witness this exchange with the Cat formerly known as Cheshire, who asks her, “How are you getting along?”

    [page 71] “I’m not sure,” I replied. “I was attacked by grammasites, threatened by Big Martin’s friends and a Thraal. I’ve got two Generics billeted with me, the characters in Caversham Heights think I can save their book and right now I have to give the Minotaur his breakfast.” “Nothing remarkable there. Anything else?”

    Thus demonstrated, it leaves me only to say that nothing remarkable happens in this book. Actually most of the remarkable action happens in "Caversham Heights" where Thursday Next is thought to be an Outlander by the characters of the BookWorld. What a surprise they have coming to them when Hollywood makes a movie of them and they become movie stars with the same status as Thursday!

    Enough of this frivolity, let’s open the book and get lost in the frivolity of The Well of Lost Plots with Thursday. Will she pass her Jurisfiction Agent test and practicum? Will she save the world of reading from being the stage for recycled (Can you say stolen?) ideas for the fun and profit of Text Grand Central and the mega-business which controls the BookWorld?

    Just remember this: to BookWorlders, you are an Outlander, and as such you are entitled by your own birthright to outlandish ideas, no matter how mundane you otherwise consider your ideas or lack of them to be. So, buy a copy of this book, beginning reading, and enter the very world which will consider you as Outlandish! Still don’t feel outlandish enough to tackle the book, read my frivolous review. Caution: it may change your mind about the propriety or advisability of being outlandish.

    After all the entire population of BookWorld already considers you to be outlandish.

    http://www.doyletics.com/arj/welllost.htm

    3.) ARJ2: Genesis — Secrets of Creation by Rudolf Steiner

    Here are some questions that the Bible's Book of Genesis might raise for you which are covered in this review:

    1. Is the book of Genesis prose or poetry?

    2. Does the events in Genesis describe the beginning of our cosmos? If not, exactly where in the progression of our cosmogenesis does it begin?

    3. Who were the elohim and what was their relationship to God?

    4. Why does God suddenly become LORD God after resting on the seventh day?

    5. Was there really a Wandering Jew? Is he really immortal?

    6. What the word “day” mean in Genesis since our “day” didn’t get created until the fourth day?

    7. Is Steiner just making this description up to explain the events in Genesis?

    8. Is an invisible man possible? If so, would he be able to see his wife?

    9. What does it mean to rest on the seventh day?

    10. Where was Paradise or the Garden of Eden located? What happened during the Fall? And what is the flashing sword which guards Paradise?

    If you want more description about the events in Genesis, read the complete set of Steiner’s lectures in this book. He covers many more issues of interest than a short review can embody.

    = == == == == == == == == == ==

    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.

    8. COMMENTARY:
    = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

    In this section I like to comment on events in the world, in my life, and in my readings which have come up during the month. These are things I might have shared with you in person, if we had had the opportunity to converse during the month. If we did, then you may recognize my words. If I say some things here which upset you, rest assured that you may skip over these for the very reason that I would likely have not brought up the subject to spoil our time together in person.

    1. Padre Filius Spots a Billboard this Month:

    Padre Filius, the cartoon character created by your intrepid editor and would-be cartoonist, will appear from time to time in this Section of the Digest to share us on some amusing or enlightening aspect of the world he observes during his peregrinations.

    This month the good Padre reads a Billboard for a Transmission Repair Co.


    2.Comments from Readers:

    • EMAIL from Dave in the UK re "Max Stirner quote". RJM NOTE: Anyone knowing the author of this quote, please contact me:
      Hi Bobby,
      First time I've seen these sites and have them on my favourites list now. I wondered if you could help me find the author of this quote "man seeks not freedom but a cause to which he can be enslaved". I believe it is Max Stirner but can find no trace.
      Regards, Dave
      [Email sent from doyletics.com's Main Tidbit page.]
    • Phone call from Rich Katona I met Rich at the Foundation for Economic Education Conference in Houston last August. Just called to say hello. He said he reads my Digest each month and enjoys it. Great to hear from you, Rich.

    3. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly:

    First, The Bad: The City of New Orleans has abandoned many of its schools and public buildings, not even sending anyone to open the doors and let the water drain out from them. Warren Easton High School was one of them abandoned this way.

    The Good: Through a mighty effort of ten graduates of the school, all of them from before the school was integrated, the school was drained, cleaned out, refurbished, and has become a Charter School to carry on the proud tradition of Warren Easton. Del's first husband, Bill Hatchett, was one of those ten, and Del, also a graduate of Warren Easton, sent a big check to help them get the school re-started. These are not rich people like John McDonough whose fortune was left to build some fifty or so public schools in New Orleans.

    The Ugly: The Municipal Auditorium which has held many annual Carnival Balls since early in the twentieth century has also been abandoned and not even drained of the standing water, over a year after Katrina. The balls are being held in large hotels which are privately-run for a profit, while the publicly-run building of the large auditorium loses money as it stands there abandoned, perhaps forever. An ugly afternote about the John McDonough legacy which he left to build schools from the poor citizens of New Orleans — in recent years the public school authorities have stopped sending school children to place flowers of thanks on his monument across from Gallier Hall in Lafayette Square. And worse of all, they have removed McDonough's name from many of the schools his estate created for the city and replaced the name "McDonough No. 37", for example with the names of other people.

    "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" makes a great movie title, but it is a sorry name for what should be a Good, Better, and Best recovery for this great city. It should also make many consider the folly of expecting public servants to do much more than feed from the public trough of taxes and fees while doing little if anything to justify their existence. Why bother, when you get paid a salary and receive a pension just for keeping out of trouble and hanging around, up until now.

    4. Good Doyles:

    In John McWhorter's Teaching Co. Course: "Human Language" in Linguistics, he talks about some deaf Philippine children signing with their own made-up signing language and said, "They were creole signing like crazy because they'd been brought up with it while their minds were still plastic." This statement mirrored several other statements he made in various places in the course about very young children having learning abilities that adults don't have.

    This is a characteristic of people who are not familiar with the science of doyletics. They marvel at the feats of young children, such as Suzuki violin students who begin at age three. They talk as if we human beings lose something after the age five or so, while neglecting to mention the things we gain after five. Yes, children before five have the ability to store bodily states during one-time events before five. This makes them fast-learners of speech sounds, vocal patterns, music tones, arm movements, etc. This learning is due to their ability to store doylic memories which are retrievable thereafter for the rest of their lives. But, when this ability to store doylic memories fades about five years old, they acquire a much more powerful cognitive memory. This is what we usually call simply “memory.” It allows them to store and retrieve detailed memories of every event which happens to them for the rest of their lives. Thus, while they and we may have incredible learning ability with rote learning of physical body states before five, all the other learning we do thereafter requires a type of memory we had hardly at all before five.

    Thus, is it better not to say children’s minds were still plastic, but that their minds were still capable of storing simple rote bodily events during the time (five years old) before the super-plastic cognitive capability we call “memory” itself developed in the post-five-year-old stage of life. We don’t lose a plastic capability at five, we gain one! Before then we can store only the raw material of actual bodily events, events which when we attain cognitive memory capability (post-five) can become the components of complex activities such as speech, singing, and violin-playing at a later age of life.

    Too often we talk only about the unwanted bodily states or doylic memories, while we live in a world of many useful, delightful, and very much wanted doylic memories or good doyles all the time.

    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.
