Green Directors Playhouse, Star Bob Hope, Production, The Ghostbreakers, Director, George Marshall. This is the Screen Directors Playhouse. One of the weekly features on NBC's All Star Festival of Comedy, Music, Mystery and Drama. Brought to you by Chesterfield, always milder, better tasting, cooler smoking, plus no unpleasant aftertaste. By the makers of Anderson for fast relief in the pain of headache, neuritis and neuralgia, and by RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television. Tonight the Screen Directors Playhouse is pleased to present transcribed a comedy of terrors, The Ghostbreakers starring Bob Hope. But first, here's a tip for Father's Day, featuring one of Father's Day's most famous fathers. Say, Bing, how are you planning to spend Father's Day this Sunday? Oh, Ken, Father's Day's quite a deal, you know, at the Crosby Minaj. I get to sleep as late as I want to.  Then what do you do when you get up? What else? I wash the dishes. Well, I know one gift that'll be on that breakfast tray, Bing. Right, you are, Ken, a carton of milder Chesterfields. Folks, we have a fine new Chesterfield gift carton this year, and it's just the thing for Dad on Father's Day. It's got a picture of Godfrey on it, the place to write your greetings, and inside, two hundred of those milder Chesterfields.  So drop around your favorite dealers and pick up a gift carton. Sure, Dad's a great guy, and Chesterfield's a great smoke. It's a natural. For Father's Day and any day, it's Chesterfield. Now the first act of the Screen Directors Playhouse production of The Ghostbreakers, starring Bob Hope in his original role of Larry Lawrence, with Shirley Mitchell as Mary Carter. If ever a name struck terror into the heart of the underworld, it's the name of Larry Lawrence, intrepid radio reporter and crime buster. Yet only his closest friends know that behind his simple, vacant, foolish smile hides the real Larry Lawrence. Simple, vacant, and foolish. We find him now in his office, professed before leaving on his vacation. Oh, so you'll clam up on Larry Lawrence, huh? Come on, open up. Open up, I say, or I'll drill a hole clear through you. Okay, you ask for it. Take this. And this. And this. Is there something wrong, Mr. Lawrence? Yeah, I can't get this window open. Here, let me try. It's no use, Miss Coase, it's stuck. I'm a strong man, but... There you are. Miss Coase, I thought I warned you about weightlifting on office hours. There's a Miss Mary Carter to see you, Mr. Lawrence. Miss Carter? Is she a redhead or are you wasting my time? You know, I'm due on the air in 15 minutes and I'm waiting for Raspy Kelly. Well, she says it's very important, Mr. Lawrence. And she's a blonde. Oh, then put her in category 7B. I'll see her when I get back for my vacation. And tell her to leave her telephone number and waist measurement. Mr. Lawrence, please. Please, I'm Mary Carter. I'm sorry, Miss, but I'm working on my secret invention. A real invention? Yeah, but it's a bottle preparation for women who want to get their face lifted. How does it work? I mix nitroglycerin with cold cream. It just goes to show how tough a woman has to be when she deals with Larry Lawrence. Oh, then you're really Larry Lawrence. The brave, strong, dashing Larry Lawrence I've always heard about. Well, what are you waiting for, Miss Coase? Go somewhere and flex your muscles. And tell me when Raspy Kelly comes in. Yes, Mr. Lawrence. Mr. Lawrence, I need your help. Ah, yes, don't you all. Poor girl. You don't understand. Mr. Lawrence, you're famous as a crime breaker and gang breaker. And there was that wonderful week in Duluth when I was a home breaker. Now I want to purchase your services. I want you to become a ghost breaker. Ghost breaker? I'm sorry, but the only spirits I mess around with come equipped with olives, not shrouds. I'm serious, Mr. Lawrence. I've been inherited an island off the coast of Cuba, Black Island. And there's a castle on it called Castillo Maldito. Oh, sure. I've heard of that. Isn't that where Kugat raises Little Maracas? Now, Miss Carter, you're not going to tell me that castle is haunted. Well, this afternoon the deed was turned over to me by a senor parada.  You mean there's no post-toasties because of the ghosties? There is a ghost. Senor Parada says it's the ghost of Don Santiago, my great-great-grandfather. That's why I'm afraid, Mr. Lawrence. Now, if you'll come with me to Castillo Maldito, I'll see that your time is well paid for. Yeah, but why a lot of few ghost rumors frighten you? After all, what's a ghost just a clue-cluck that's lost his clan? What do you need me for? Here. I received this card in the mail today. Let's see.  Well, here's your card, Miss Carter. Thank you and good night. Afraid? Me? Listen, I'm one of the bravest gum-shoes in the business.  Okay, so I'm one of the bravest bubble gum-shoes in the business. It's just that I don't like spirits to send fan mail, and besides, tomorrow I'll be in the mountain, so take your ghost postage to somebody else. Ah, that mountain there, that's the life. You go to the window at six o'clock in the morning, open it, climb in and go to bed. Oh, fine. I'll see you right away. Miss Carter, if you want an expert in things that go boo-boo-boo, I've got a friend named Crosby. Why don't you see him? No one else will do, Mr. Lawrence. I'm sailing for Cuba tonight on the Rexitania. If you change your mind, I'll be waiting for you in my stag-room. Hiya, Larry. What do you say? Well, hello, Raspy. Say, you sound better. Did you get the frog in your throat a fresh lily pad? I got another Frenchy Duval story for you. It's a killer. Oh-ho-ho-ho. Yeah, and so is Frenchy Duval. Say, does he know you're giving me these stories? Oh, he loves it. Good publicity. I know. I plug him or he plugs me. What have you got? Frenchy adds himself a new racket. Here's how it works. Well, it's cool. Frenchy Duval has a nice new racket, baby laundries.  This is the little one's laundry mat. Frenchy discovered that there were about 2,000 of them in the state all making money. Without even telling his closest pals, he moved in a three-cornered the market. And so today, Frenchy is really cleaning up the hard way. This is Larry Lawrence saying, goodnight. Larry Lawrence will return to the air two weeks from tonight with more low down on the underworld. Now a word about Cronin's coffee. Well, that's that. One more week on the air without a rest, and I'd begin to look like Bob Hope. Mr. Lawrence. Oh, hello, Miss Cole. Did you hear the broadcast? Wasn't I great? Wasn't I terrific? Frenchy Duval is on the phone. Wasn't I just leaving? Wonder if he saw her. Courage, Camille. Hello, Frenchy. What's new? Got a tip for you, Larry boy. Shoot, I had to open my big mouth. What was that? That was Raspy Kelly saying goodbye. Raspy Kelly? But you're not mad at me, are you, Frenchy? Oh, no, no, no. I told you, I got a tip for what was found in a ditch riddled with bullets. Yeah? When did it happen? Probably tomorrow. Oh, that's what I call hot news. Tell me, hey, Frenchy. Oh, not me, not little old Larry. I'm going to put somebody on the spot, boy. Cole, hand me that bottle of spot remover. Hey, Lawrence, I've taken care of myself. Oh, Frenchy. Frenchy boy, speak to me. Hello, Mort. Come to think of it, hello, mortician. Why did I bother paying this year's income tax? Where are you going? Cuba. As cold as when it comes to ghosts, I'd rather see one than be one.  Some state room you got on the ship. You ought to see mine is so far down I can use a propeller to whip up my shaving cream. Say, did you see President Truman in swimming when we passed Key West? No, which one was he? The one in evening clothes. Radio, Grandpa, you miss, and there's one for Mr. Lawrence, too. Oh, thank you, Stuart. Who'd know I was aboard? Oh, here's your telegram. Well, isn't that nice? Mine must be from the Cuban Chamber of Commerce. What does it say? See Cuba and die. Hey, wait a minute, it's signed Frenchy Duval. Stop the ship, man overboard, stop the ship, guzzle a manzo, box the coppers. Larry, Larry, please. What? Larry, look at my telegram. What are you excited about? It just says an empty coffin waits on Black Island. Gee, does Pierce Brothers know about this? You think we should make the one friendly call that covers all? Larry, I'm scared. And it's signed Senor Mertes. Merte. In Spanish, that means death. I know, I know his brother, rigor mortis.  I'd been a lot more trouble without you to help me. Yeah, I'm brave, two gun Larry Lawrence. When I find out who's threatening me, I'll break him in two and use half in the castle and half in the bathroom. Sure, that's me, Courage and the Loose. Only there isn't so. What do you mean, Larry? I'm running away from myself, from some gangsters in New York. Oh, I didn't know. Look, Mary, we're both in trouble. Let's play it together, huh? You stick by me, and I'll stick by me, too. Seriously, Mary, I... You know, you're beautiful. I'm frightened. Hello? This is Senor Parada. Mary, it's Parada, the guy you were telling me about. Who is he speaking? Never mind about me. What's the idea of scaring Miss Carter with all that ghost stuff? Ghost? The wrong state room. Hello? Hello? Hello, Senor Parada. Parada? Well, that's strange. I wonder why he's on board. Yes? Well, I noticed Miss Carter's name on the passenger list. Is she here? Yes, I'm Miss Carter. Who are you? Fly Yard. That's right, Jeff Montgomery. May I come in? Oh, please do. We met at the store club a few weeks ago. Yes, of course. Mr. Montgomery, this is Mr. Lawrence. You traveling to Cuba, Mr. Montgomery? Yes. My home's in Havana. Oh, we're going to Havana, too. And then on to Castillo Maldito on Black Island. I'd heard that Jinx was wished off on... not you. That place is evil. There's the legends about the ghost, and there's said to be a zombie on the island. There's a native woman who looks after the place. Zombie? Yes. Some voodoo priest seemed to have the power to bring the dead back to life. You see them once in a while walking around with despondent, hopeless, staring eyes. You mean like Republicans? Please be careful, Miss Carter. If you insist on going to Black Island, be sure you go well protected. Well, what do I look like, an egg beater? There's nothing in that island but ghost, evil spirits, and zombies. Ghost, evil spirits, and zombies. When's the next boat back to New York?  Between Black Island and Frenchie de Val, I'll take... Yes, Larry. I'll take... Darling. Black Island, here I come. The next time you suffer from pains of headache, neuritis, or neuralgia, take Anacin. You'll bless the day you heard of this incredibly fast way to relieve these pains. Now, the reason Anacin is so wonderfully fast-acting and effective is this. Anacin is like a doctor's prescription. That is, Anacin contains not just one, but a combination of medically proven active ingredients and easy to take tablet form. Thousands of people have received envelopes containing Anacin tablets from their own dentist or physician, and in this way, discovered the incredibly fast relief Anacin brings from pains of headache, neuritis, or neuralgia. So the next time a headache strikes, I'll take Anacin for this wonderfully fast relief. Anacin, A-N-A-C-I-N. Anacin comes in handy boxes of 12 and 30. Economical family size bottles of 50 and 100. Get Anacin at any drug counter. Now the second act of ghost breakers starring Bob Hope, Black Island. It's silhouette broken by the menacing outline of Castillo Maldito against the night sky. And approaching the island a small rowboat carrying Larry Lawrence and Barry Carter. Boy, no wonder the native boatman won't come here at night. Look at the place. What a ruin. Looks like CBS pulled a raid on it. Just a few more strokes, Larry. We're almost there. Here's the doc. Here. Let me help you out. There. Lafayette, we are here. I think Lafayette's here too. It's probably the old woman caretaker that Jeff told us about. She may be just trying to scare us. She's wasting her time. We're scared already. Oh, there she is. Mother zombie. Zombie, what? Taxi strike, huh? What do you want? Could we interest you in a subscription to Weird Stories Magazine? You've inherited the Castle Maldito. No. My island. The castle is our golden rose mother. Great night for a murder. Who told you? Tell me, does the Greyhound bus make a rest stop here? You guys to Boris Karloff. Let's get into the castle. Hand me the flashlight, Mary. There. Oh, God. What a place. The front porch is down on this knees. Turn your flashlight to the left. A suitcase. It's almost new. One of the people who came to the island must have left it here. FD. Frenchie, come on, let's get out of here. There he is. Okay, here, behind this post. Here in this room. Well, now we know who one of our guests was. What about the other two, huh? I don't know, but I think I could spit and hit one of them. Just the wind. If it is, it's the first time I've ever heard of breeze with adenoids. You strangers.  You never played Philadelphia. Hey, strangers, that's us. Zombie, kill. Sorry, but I got to see your union card. Larry, you stunned them with your flashlight. Help me drag him into the closet. Okay.  Yeah, what do you know? I'm brave. Come on, let's see what else is going on in Nightmare Alley. If this is a short interlude of organ music, let's switch to another station. Let's find out who's playing that organ. Yeah, those things around it are either coffins or boxes of king-sized Cuban cigars. Nobody here now. Wonder who was playing it. I don't like it. Patrillo won't like it either. Maybe somebody put a nickel in it. There's no one there.  Only a ghost could do that. There's no such thing. If there really are ghosts, I'd lose my mind. I'd end up in the snake pit. Yeah. Move over, Olivia. Hey, do you see what I see? On the organ bench. It's coming out of thin air. Too many reducing tablets. Maybe they're drafting again. What's he talking about? I don't know. Ask him. You ask him. I feel too ghastly to be ghostly. Marching is marching man. Look, it's getting up. And floating toward that empty coffin. It's getting in. Gee, that ghost gave some performance. I'm gonna find out what's really in that box. Look, I'm aside. There's a plate. It's the coffin of Don Santiago. My ancestor who built the castle. Let's get the lid up. Larry, there's nothing but a skeleton. Yeah, old man Moe sure is dead. Larry, I think he was trying to tell me something. Something about the marching men. He wants me to look for something. Look, if he forgot anything when he left, there's no sense looking for it now. Let's go. Don't forget the Frenchie de Valas looking for something. Let's go. Don't forget the Frenchie de Valas looking for us and there's two other characters around somewhere. Larry, turn your flashlight over there above the organ. Isn't that an inscription? Can you make it out? I think, yes, let me see. God's treasures in abundance lie. Something heavenly key.  There's more to this than meets the eye. The ghost. It said something about a key, Larry. How can we look for a key? We haven't even got a keyhole. Well, keys could mean music. Look, let's keep moving around. If we stay in one spot, we're dead. Dead. I wonder who thought up that expression. The marching men must have something to do with it. We'll ask them on the Fourth of July. Come on. Larry, there, on the wall. Aren't those marching men? Those little figures carved into the stone? Now, if I draw a horizontal line through this marching man and one parallel to it through this one and another one and two more... This is a fine time to start playing tic-tac-toe. No, don't you see? It becomes a bar of music. That's what the ghost was trying to tell us. The key is a chord on this organ. Mary, keep playing. Look, down Santiago's coffin. It's shifting off its base. And I don't feel so good myself. Keep playing. There's nothing down there but some dusty old dungeons. Let Jack Benny keep his money. Come on. You go first. Okay. But remember, I'm the lead-off man on the way back. Say, there's a lantern down here. Yes, and railroad tracks, like in a mine. Yeah, railroad tracks. It reminds me of my hotel room in Scranton. Come on, keep going. Look out. You'll trip over that rail. Oh, oh, oh. Did you hurt yourself? What did you land on? This is a comedy. What do you think? Mary, look at this. What is it? I've seen this stuff before. Silver ore, the real thing. Mary, you're rich. Congratulations, Miss Carter.   What's the gun for? You can't get away with it. I'll shoot. Now listen, pirata. No, not you. Behind you. Look out! Jeff Montgomery. Yes, it's Jeff.  Miss Carter, I came here to warn you. He's mad. He's insane. Against the wall. All three of you.  What's this all about? About a vein of silver as wide as the island. I discovered it. You hear? This mine is mine. And what's mine stays mine. Okay, so it's yours, but let Mary go. No. Nobody's going to carry any tails out of here. All right, come on out of there.  Come on. Who's that? Frenchie de... It's the police. They've got you trapped, Montgomery. They'll never get me. Not now. This is mine. They'll have to shoot it out. You tell them, kid. Get through. Finish. Get her. Kill each other. Frenchie and Jeff. I'll match her to see who faints first. Move over. Stop hogging the floor. Hillary. And a fun farewell to Cuba.  And with pirata taking care of the mine, we'll never have to come back. And now that I'm rich, I'm going to back you in a television show. Yeah. After all those ghosts, it'd be nice to try out a new medium. What world will we do with a hundred million dollars? What? What will we do with a hundred million dollars? Well, we can always open another hotel in Texas. Understand about the ghosts. It must have been real. No, honey. It was just one of Montgomery's tricks. There's no such things as ghosts. Why didn't we have her sit in the audience? Thank you, Bob Holt. And now a word from RCA Victor.

Alright, remove the M295 decon packet from your pouch, tear the packet at the notch, remove the decon mitt out of the packet, discard the empty packet, unfold the decon mitt, grasp the green non-pad side of the decon mitt with your hand, with your non-dominant hand. You're good for now.  So it opens up. The decon mitt has a hole in it where it opens up and you can move on. No, that's your thumb hole. So right here. Yeah.  Pat, then rub your gloves with the decon mitt until it is completely covered. So for this, at this point, he would have his gloves back on, right? He would be in mop 4. You don't have to tighten it.  Insert the decontaminated glove hand inside the decon mitt, ensure that the pad side is in the palm of your hand and your thumb sticks to the appropriate thumb hole. Securely tighten the wristband on the glove hand with decon powder. Pay special attention to areas that are hard to reach such as cracks, crevices, and absorbent materials. So in the task environment, right, you would have your ACH, your IoTV, your mask carrier, and your weapon. So right now, he's going to proceed to decon his weapon. So the way to do it, same thing, right? Same thing as your hand. You're going to do it away from your body and you're going to start from, yeah, the back of the weapon towards the barrel all the way down until everything is covered by the powder. He would also proceed to decontaminate his IoTVs and accessories. For example, like mask carriers, over boots, and gloves again. You can hold it, you can place it on the weapon, whatever is easier for you. Just make sure that whenever you're doing it, you're doing it away from your body once again.  And he's going to let his supervisor know where all the disposables are at. So everything that he used, and he's going to notify his supervisor of where all the disposables are at.


Hi, you guys! Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel, Inside the Hymn. Did you guys notice saying, like, cute little accessory that I am wearing today? This is a DIY turban headband, and you guys, I am addicted to these. Full disclosure, I did just wash my hair today, so today's not a great example, but I have been able to extend my washes, the time between I wash my hair easily two or three days, and I still feel really cute and really fashionable whenever I slap on one of these turban headbands. I've worn them to the gym, to yoga, I've worn them to the pool, worn them out to run errands. I think they can really dress up a basic outfit, and you can make them in no time flat with barely any fabric at all. So today's video is a tutorial to show you how to make one of these on your own. In my opinion, it is a very well-designed design in that the top is literally knotted. It's not multiple layers looped through and then creating this really bulky headband. This is literally, you know, two layers of fabric sandwiched together and then looped together. There's a lot of really neat tricks in this tutorial for how to achieve a really great clean finish, both up here with the little knotted section as well as the elastic casing, and how to get these two sections attached together with no raw edges showing whatsoever and just a super, super clean finish all around. Very, very professional in my opinion. So let's cut to the tutorial. To get started, you need to cut out your pattern pieces. Very simple. We've got one piece here that's 17 inches by four and a half inches, and you need to cut two of those. Ideally, you do it out of the same fabric. I'm just using very different fabrics here so that you guys can tell one piece from the other when we start assembling it. But feel free to be creative. Who knows? Maybe somebody wants an orange and black and blue and green headband. You never know. Okay, so you need two of these, 17 and a half by four and a half, and I'll have all these measurements in the description box so I don't feel like you have to run and grab a pen real quick. This piece here is 11 and a quarter inches by two and a half inches, and then you need a seven inch piece of one inch elastic. So I've got all of those things cut out here, and then you also need to add a couple of notches. You don't need to be too too precise about it, but if you are curious, my notches are placed. Hold please. Let's see, we've got them set at roughly seven and a half inches in from the edge, and then there's two inches in between them. So find the seven and a half inch mark, and then go over two more inches and place your other notch. And you need to snip those into the fabric, which I'm going to do right now. And our very first step actually is going to be sewing in between these two notches, and I'll show you how to lay out the fabric.  Same for this one, right sides together, and you're going to sew in between the two notches, so that little two inch section. All of our seam allowances on this are a quarter inch, so quarter seam allowances and sew between the two notches on both of these pieces. And then if you want to go ahead and get a head start on this, you can also sew this piece right sides together the entire length of the piece. Okay, you can see we have attached right sides together in between the two notches on both of the larger rectangles, and then sewn all the way across the long edge of the shorter rectangle. You're going to need to use your point turner or whatever you use to turn this one right sides out. These guys need to get turned right sides out as well, and it's very easy to do with just your fingers. Like so, and now you can see you have a lovely little seam there in the middle. Same with this guy and then this guy. Perfect. Okay, so you are going to want to press this one with the seam centered along the width. So not with the seam on the edge. I mean, I guess you could, but that's not how the purchased one was. So we're trying to follow that one as closely as possible. So you want to press this like this, and then also you can press these little guys down as well. Okay, these are all pressed and ready to go. We're actually going to set these two pieces aside for the time being and only work with one of our larger rectangles. So you're going to take one of the larger rectangles, and you are going to place it right sides together along the short end. But we're actually going to sew this longer side here. And this gets a little bit fidgety and finicky, but it can be done. And it helps if you made those notches in your fabric because it works as a bit of a hinge. So we've obviously already got this seam sewn. So we just need to start here at this corner. And so at a quarter inch seam allowance all along this edge. And then you turn it along the other end and sew this long edge. So basically what you're trying to do is sew this entire long edge all the way around like so. You just have to kind of do it in two parts because of the little seam that we already have there in the middle. So let me pin this and show you what it looks like. So see it really does start to come together. Once you manipulate the fabric a little bit and just pin all along this edge keeping the raw edges of the short end even as well like so. So that's one side. Then you do the same thing for the other side. Keeping that little seam, the little bubbly part right there, tucked away out of your seam line. And it takes a little of maneuvering but you'll get it. Get the other side and then fill in everything in the middle with our pins. Okay, one more. All right, cool. See how that is pinned? So you're going to sew all along this edge and then continue your seam line all the way down this edge here. I'll show you what that looks like one second. Okay, so here we've got our little piece all sewn along the raw edge. You can see what it looks like up close with that little part there. And here's our other seam line that we did in the very first step. So they all kind of converge in this one little area here. Okay, so now we want to turn this out. And what you've ended up with is a one side of your turban with a hole, but sewn little hole in the middle. See? All right, so let's see. You can turn your seam line, that very first seam line that we made into the middle if you want. Although it doesn't really matter in the end because it kind of gets all bunched up together anyways. Okay, see that? All right, so now you can try and press this as far as you can get your iron up and up in this area just to have a smooth seam line there. Okay, so the next step is to take your other long rectangle that is right side out and you are going to feed that through the hole that you have at the top of this first little tube, like so. And center the hole along the little two inch seam line that you already have made. Then position it so that you can turn this right sides together. Just like we did before, like so, except you're going to do this in two parts. So the first part is just like last time. You sew this half of the rectangle all the way up until these little pieces meet at the top, right?  So let me show you that step by step. Okay, let's do one of these sides. I like to do this in two separate sessions at the sewing machine. So I'm going to go ahead and sew up this seam first. Okay, you can see I've got this first seam, this one side of the second rectangle all sewn together. And this side is still open. So you want to take the first rectangle we sewed, tuck it into the second one, find the raw edges, and again, match up those little notches like so, and pin keeping the first rectangle tucked in completely. Okay, so now we've got the second side all pinned together with the first rectangle completely tucked inside here.  Okay, so now we've got that second side of the second rectangle totally sewn. And here is where the magic happens. When you turn this right side out, like magic, you have the top knot of your turban. Isn't that so cool? So you can futz with these and get your seam lines wherever you want them. I like to place them, I guess on what would be the top and bottom of the headband. But you can position them any way you want. But this is what seems most natural to me, like what the fabric wants to do is be in there like that. Let me go press this and I'll be right back. Okay, there we have it. And we're not really looking for perfection here. I mean, if this little knot area is messy, that's fine. You know, it is kind of like a turban look, so it doesn't have to be perfect. Okay, so the next step is to make the elastic band for what will be like the nape of your neck. So you need to grab the shorter rectangle that we've already sewn together, turned and pressed. And you are going to be inserting this elastic through one end when the raw edge meets up with this side based across there. Continue to pull it through and based across this edge as well. I like to use one of my elastic threaders. These are made by Dritz. They're awesome. I featured them in a favorites video not too long ago. I will put a link in the description box. So you can easily find them. They're awesome. They come in all kinds of different sizes and just make threading elastic a breeze. We've got it matched up with the one edge here. Okay, like so, I'm going to go based across this small edge here. Okay, that is based it through our fabric and our elastic. Nothing fancy. Continue to pull all of this through the casing like so. Match up these raw edges like so and then go based across this edge here. Okay, there we go. We've got our elastic casing. Give it a few tugs so that the fabric evenly distributes itself along the width of the elastic. Okay, so now it doesn't really matter which side becomes the outside and which side becomes the inside. But it does matter to me anyways that you determine that you pick one and make sure that the seam line that's along here ends up being on the inside of the headband. If you don't care about that, then don't worry about that. Match up the seam lines along the width of the short end. Then place your elastic along the edge there, centering the elastic with that seam. Then you want to pin this to hold it in place and you're going to baste across this edge just like you did before. Okay, here is another magical step that we are about to take in order to completely encase this raw edge and make sure that you only see a pretty side of all of this whenever your headband is done. So you want to fold your fabric, the big rectangle over the edge of the elastic casing like so, right? Then you're going to have a little bit of overhang where this piece is longer than the elastic casing. You simply fold that back like so. So we've got a little modified double fold bias tape kind of. You've just folded this edge over like this and then fold this back so that it's in line with the other edge of the elastic. You can pin that if you want to hold it in place. It's a little hard to pin through all these edges, so maybe let's see. Do I have binding clips nearby? No, I don't. Okay, so we're just going to hold it with our hands. Then you fold the other side over the edge like so and then fold this edge back. It's completely okay if the two folded back sections are not equal length. What's most important is that this little sandwich that you're making is just all even along the edges. So you've got this little number here. Let's try and pin this one. All right, like so. Perfect. Okay, so now you're going to want to sew this raw edge here. Sew over it a few times. This is where most of the pressure and tension is going to be placed on this piece. So you want to make sure this is really, really secure. Okay, there you have it. To help get through all these layers, you probably want to use something that they call a hump jumper.  I will have a link for this in the description box too. And I don't even know if there is like one brand that sells them versus another. I have had these since I don't know when. But I'll have a link in the description box for some kind of hump jumper that you can use. Either way, okay. So now we're here for another magical moment where you pull this right sides out and you get this beautiful finish with no raw edges. How cool is that, right? Super, super cool. Super, super nice and well done. If I do say so myself. Okay, so now we want to be very careful because now we've established a right side, right? And we don't want this thing to end up twisted. So you want to keep everything in line and then take the right side of your elastic casing, which does not have the seam and place it along this edge here. And then you want to do the exact same thing based across this edge. Fold this, fold a corner back, fold this over, fold another corner back and then secure all of this with several rows of stitches. Okay, so I have sewn all of those layers together and you're just going to pull your elastic to get all of that to the inside. Like so, then flip it so that the smooth side, the unseamed side of the elastic casing is facing in the outside. And just like that, you have a super cool turban headband made from woven scraps, hopefully.  And there you have it. It was easier than you thought it would be, right? So I want to see yours. If you make one of these, please tag me in your social media posts. I'm at inside the hem if you aren't following me already. And I'd like to see your versions. I can't wait to pair up different fabric scraps with different outfits or maybe even possibly do a matching matchy situation where I have a matching headband to my dress or top or whatever. So you'll be seeing me posting a lot about these. I'm going to be making a ton and I hope you will too. But in the meantime, thank you so much for watching. I hope you found this tutorial helpful and entertaining. And I'll see you all very soon. Bye.


Okay well good morning everybody hello hello and welcome to our Tabla Rasa online retreat weekend I'm Peter I'm going to be the host this weekend and we've got a beautiful theme the happy dream so yeah I can just let you know a little bit about this coming weekend we'll we'll have a session right now and another one later on today with members from our community you also have a movie workshop coming up tomorrow all-day movie workshop and then we'll have our final session on Sunday but to start with we have Francis here with us in Mexico and we have David at the monastery in Utah so I'm going to pass it over to you guys now thank you Peter hi everyone hi Francis what a fun topic happy dream the happy dream can't think of a better topic to to explore for the weekend it's beautiful yeah we're so grateful that you could all be there with us you know we're all here together in our zoom room and you know I I was happy when I when I got to the part of the course where I read the line the Holy Spirit needs happy learners to learn the final lessons of happiness so that to me told me that that I really needed to get into the happiness if I was going to see the world differently and allow the Holy Spirit to offer a replacement for the ego's world of guilt and judgment so that's what we're into we're into going all the way with with happiness and he didn't say the Holy Spirit needs conflicted learners he didn't say the Holy Spirit needs resistant learners he didn't say the Holy Spirit needs reluctant learners he said the Holy Spirit needs happy learners if you're going to learn the final happy lessons wouldn't you have to be happy to really experience the fullness of of your gifts so Francis we we love talking about this topic I always am excited to talk about the happy dream because that's our dream of non-judgment and it always comes back to guidance follow the guidance to get to the happiness yeah that's our that's our plan yeah I think this topic is so fitting so fitting about the spiritual journey because I I remember that when I first met David in 2009 the first two-hour gathering that I went to David was there talking about he like you know the fruit of a crossing miracles practiced with the Holy Spirit is that you can be happy consistently and without deception and he said he hadn't had a bad day for 20 years and it was very very striking very striking to to have someone testify that and I thought it was something I've never heard in the world doesn't matter what the promises were nobody no things can promise a happiness that is that doesn't end and and I can say that just by truly following this this pathway inexperience this is truly the goal and the means happiness happy learner and happy dream is not only the means but it's also the end as we you know I also realize as I practice more and more I realized I associate this word happiness solely now with the spirit and God and it doesn't it started to not really have any association with the world of images and what it can offer you know it only associated with with the spirit because it only comes from God and comes from spirit so so truly yeah as we give ourselves over to follow the voice for God Holy Spirit happiness is absolutely inevitable absolutely inevitable so yeah I like that line in the course too that happy dreams come true not because they're dreams but because they're happy it's the state of mind that brings the happy dreams the things you can't be sitting back and judging oh that's a good thing that's a bad thing oh that was a good day oh that was a bad day oh I had happy good things happen to me today and then oh another day I had bad things happen to me that's all just judgment and the happy dream is the state of non-judgment Jesus is not trying to say you're going to reach an egoic happy dream because ego is a death wish I would a death wish know what happiness is it would often it would have to be fake happiness false happiness and that's a happiness based on outcomes that you have prejudged as good outcomes so if you prejudge certain things as good and you prejudge other certain things as bad that when the good things seem to occur you'll have pseudo happiness and when the bad things occur you'll have pseudo unhappiness but pseudo is not reality and uh I've been sharing in the last couple weeks about my friend Dorothy who I met probably I think around 1990 and I just had a call with her uh somewhat recently and and she was having things happen to her body and memory that most people would say are bad things I mean you know when I talk to people about Alzheimer's or dementia they they just shake their head they go oh what a pity what a pity as if like losing your memory of things in the world is a bad thing uh because you can't function David they say you can't function well I think your mind is always active and your mind is is in the heart of of God and Jesus so your mind is actually doing very well even if you lose the memory of things of this world you're still in good hands with the Holy Spirit because memories are not truths memories are not reality so dementia uh my grandmother had to was diagnosed with dementia she was quite happy quite consistently happy but she couldn't tell you who she had breakfast with or she couldn't tell you what happened the previous three hours and my friend Dorothy was the same way she had was in an automobile smash up uh had a mangled foot black toe and um she started to lose her memory of that she was a mother that she had two children that she you know where she was from England she started to lose all that for a while and then she started to little by little get little bits and pieces back and that's how she contacted me because she saw my name on a book in the library for a course of miracles and she said to her helper friend I think I know this guy and then she eventually got in contact and we laughed for like two hours but that laughter is based on a state of non-judgment that that laughter is not based on a state of your body it's not based on the state of your world in terms of your specifics it's based on your point of view your interpretation of the world brings the happiness so that's really what we want to talk about today because you know admittedly what Jesus teaches us in the course is to the ego it's extremely radical for example Jesus teaches that the body is a learning device nothing more and nothing less it's just he's very common learning device so the body that you think is yours is a learning device the bodies of your brothers and sisters throughout the world is 7.8 billion they're all just learning devices to help your mind wake up you may think that your body is different from the other bodies but actually it's the same because your body is a learning device and the other bodies are learning device you may I see a pen and a marker here you may think that you your body's a pen and your brother and sister they're a marker they look different you and your brother and sister look different but a pen and a marker are both the writing devices so in that sense they're both learning devices but what Jesus says is if you read meaning like lesson number two I've given everything I see all the meaning it has for me if you give your learning device the meaning of being a human being breathing human being with organic processes in linear time if you give it a personality and suddenly the puppet is no longer a puppet but it's like Pinocchio it's a real human being and you give it real thoughts and real beliefs and a real private mind you've suddenly assigned so many things from your mind to this learning device and suddenly you've made it into something important and then if this device seems to get famous oh or if it gets rich oh or if it gets many skills or if it's beautiful or sexy or smart then you see you've given a lot of meaning to this learning device which is just an instrument just a little tool for the mind to use to let go of the ego that's all the body is it's a learning device used by the Holy Spirit to let go the ego and nothing more and Jesus says this learning device can and often is over-evaluated you know if you're a mind if you're a divine mind you can't be a famous divine mind because there's only one mind who would you be famous to you can't really be rich because the divine mind is all that there is so it's not rich or poor you see these are all just attributes that are given to the learning device to help you forget that it's a learning device so that the ego can convince you that this body is who you are this personality is who you are and you can't know happiness as long as you believe that you're something that you're not if you forget your spirit and you start attaching all this meaning to the learning device then you're not going to know the happy dream you're just going to be hope hoping to have more happy outcomes in the world and Jesus says there are no happy outcomes in this world less than 128 the world I see holds nothing that I want he's not trying to have give us hope for finding happy outcomes in the world he's saying there are none and I'm going to let you know that from the get go so for Francis and I this this is our life this is the you know you you give way to the happiness you give way to the guidance but you don't evaluate body symptoms because what difference does it make if your learning device seems to have symptoms or not it's still just the learning device and Jesus goes even further and he says learning devices don't make mistakes that's right your body has never made a mistake ever learning devices do not make mistakes mistakes errors are in the mind not in don't blame your learning device don't say you are getting too old and you're too fat and you you're you're not intelligent enough and you're losing your memory you see if you keep blaming the the learning device and the learning device doesn't even make any mistakes it's the judgments in the mind projected onto the learning device is where the errors occur so this is like a deep metaphysical context for what we're talking about this weekend I see Roland Roland Ritter's there he was concerned about his learning device or other learning devices and if you can apply the workbook lessons equally to either one of course you can learning devices and if this if it looks like this as your brother and this is you you can apply the workbook lessons equally to both learning devices you and the others so to speak you know without problems because that's that's actually what Jesus wants you to do make no exceptions to the lessons so fun fun Francis we're in for a cooker this weekend yeah I would I was just thinking when you were talking I actually read a sentence in the course yesterday um Jesus says anytime that you you put the body's betterment as your main primary goal you bring death closer because that is what you're here to seek um as identify with the body it's like whoa anytime because the way that we seek happiness you know before the course is all about seeking the betterment of the body seeking the betterment of self identity and here Jesus said learn from me and we're going 180 degrees opposite direction we're not going trying to seek from that realm anymore and here we're seeking for the freedom of the mind you know freedom of the mind comes from non-judgment freedom of the mind comes from forgiveness freedom of the mind comes from not making decisions for ourselves but letting the spirit make decisions for God for us every single day and that is a day in and day out practice a day in day out choice to aim for the freedom freedom of the mind it's a it's a total opposite direction that's for sure yeah yeah Francis and I were talking Francis did a counseling call recently and I've had a number of counseling calls where where people will kind of when you get into the counseling call and they feel all the love and acceptance then they start to spill the beans of their their plan of awakening and it involves the future I'm gonna I'm gonna finish my studies I'm gonna get a good job and when I have a good a good job and I I'm financially sound and I have a good apartment or house and I have things when things are right when I have all the conditions in the world right then I'm really gonna open to the course and practice and live this course in the future you see and I I can relate to that because that was my plan before the course came I I called the game that I played in my mind I'll be happy when and the I'll be happy when game is once my finances look this way once my relationship status looks this way once I have a stable secure life in form then Jesus I will be ready to take your plan then I'm ready to be the happy learner but until I get the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle in order I'm not a happy learner I'm a frightened learner I can only give you so much time Jesus I'll okay I'll do your lessons but I got busy stuff to do important stuff to do because I've got to work it out on my own I've got to survive and I've got to do the right things and make it I have to make it in the world before I can do your course of course it never worked my game of I'll be happy when finally was intercepted by Jesus himself which Jesus was like no no listen this game is getting you nowhere you're like a hamster spinning your mind on the hamster wheel with I'll be happy when and that's an ego game if if not now then when you know like my friend Dorothy would say so what about the past now what and Jesus would say yeah so what about the future now what what about are you going to follow me now so Francis and I know from our own experiences and also from our counseling calls that it'll oftentimes people say well I can't really give myself over to study and practice the course and understand what it's saying until the conditions are right and then for some of you you do reach a point where you feel the conditions are right and then you try to study the course as if it's a textbook and you think you're going to intellectually learn the course how that is the biggest joke to think that you're going to intellectually grasp a teaching device that is meant for you to let go of everything you know about the world when you believe you'll reach a certain crescendo of study and you'll suddenly go oh I got it I understand the course I have achieved one of my goals in life and then the angels all laugh and Jesus laughs and then the next thing is no peace and understanding go together and Jesus says until you pass the test of perfect peace you don't understand anything literally you can't understand anything at all until you pass the test of perfect peace because perfect peace is where spiritual transformation occurs you know it's in the peace of mind it's not an intellectual understanding I've been traveling and teaching the course for over 30 years and one of the most common things I hear is well I read this in the course I get that intellectually but and I have stopped well it's not right there intellectually but the but cancels out the intellectual understanding how can you understand something intellectually and and put the word but after it the word but literally cancels out what you just stated so I said maybe we can quit the game if I get that intellectually but I can't live it or Helen Shuckman herself described of the course she said I know the course is true but I don't believe it and and Jesus says in the course this course will be believed entirely or not at all this is not you don't get points brownie points for understanding the metaphysics it's your points come in your peace of mind that comes from the transfer of training of using the workbook and not making any exceptions so that's what

Welcome everyone to another Narc Survivor live video. I haven't spoken on this topic for a while, but I would like to discuss it again here in this live video. The difference between a narcissist and an emotionally healthy partner. There is a big difference. An emotionally healthy partner can be vulnerable with you. They can reveal their insecurities. They can reflect on their insecurities. They can be open and honest with you. They're not afraid to admit their faults and mistakes. Their flaws and imperfections. They can reflect on these things and they can admit it to themselves and to other people as well. Because I think an emotionally healthy person would rather be hated and abandoned for them being who they are. Rather than them being loved and admired for something that they are not. I think that's one big difference right there. For that reason they can be very understanding of you. They can be more respectful. They can recognise where they went wrong. They can make improvements. They can adjust. That is why relationships with emotionally healthy partners tend to be more successful. I'm not saying that they're perfect. Of course things go wrong. That's just a part of life. So even if you are with someone who is emotionally healthy, you will experience arguments and disagreements. But when you argue with them, when you disagree, you're still on the same page. You may not agree completely. You may have some differences of opinion with some things. But the difference is that they can see where you're coming from. They get it. They may not agree with it. But they can see how you got to that conclusion. Because they have empathy. They can put themselves in your shoes. They can share your experiences. So although there may still be arguments and disagreements, they are things that tend to get resolved. And they get resolved quite quickly. It's not something where the argument lasts for hours or even days. And it's not something where they or you have to resurface this argument somewhere down the line because it was never resolved. With an emotionally healthy partner, it's usually resolved there and then. There's no confusion about it and you feel a sense of conclusion and resolution. You're satisfied with the result because they have the ability to share your experience and see where you're coming from. And they can make adjustments. They can compromise. And you can do the same for them because they give you the room, the space to do that. They accommodate you. And as I said, they're not afraid to be vulnerable. They can be vulnerable with you. They can be very caring, loving and affectionate. And you feel it. You do feel that there is an emotional bond there. But with the narcissist, there is no understanding. Everything is one-sided. There's a lot of double standards. There's a lot of arguments and disagreements. It's either their way or the highway. It's like they just can't accept you. They're always trying to change you. They're always trying to mold you into what they want you to be. You can never be yourself around the narcissist. You can never be yourself around them. And they can't be vulnerable with you. They can't be open and honest because they're afraid to be vulnerable. They're afraid of giving away their control and putting themselves in a position where they could be in danger of being harmed. Because they're very paranoid. They're hyper-vigilant. They're always on edge. So it's all about getting you before you get them. And as I said, there's just no understanding with the narcissist. They really don't care about what you think. They don't care about what makes you more comfortable. They don't care about accommodating you. That is why you experience so much anxiety and stress. Because you're giving all of your love and care to this person to the point where you begin to neglect yourself. And they're not caring for you. They're not considering your needs. So when you're with a narcissist, no one is considering your wishes and needs, not even you. The narcissist is serving themselves often at your expense. Everything's one-sided. And you have nothing to replenish yourself. So you gradually begin to deteriorate.  And when that happens, the narcissist blames you. So there's no way to repair the relationship because it takes two people to work together to build it and maintain it in the first place. And if there aren't two people putting in equal effort, it's bound to fail. But there is nothing you can tell them. If you are with a narcissist, there are lost cause. They're not going to hear it. They're not going to see the errors of their ways. And when the rare case that they do, they will justify it. They will blame you for it. So really, they're not really seeing the error of their ways at all. Because they still manage to justify it. They still think that it's okay. And that is why there's just no improvement. They're just always expecting you to change. And you do change.  You become unrecognisable. And they will even tell you this a few months down the line.  You're a lot quieter now. You're not happy. You're a lot more grumpy now. And you may even find yourself pointing out things that are wrong. Wishing for things to be better. You may find yourself becoming negative just like them. Because emotions are very contagious.   And you become more like them. And now they're looking at you like you're the problem. Like you're the one that needs to change. But you have no energy or resources to give to yourself to help you to change and to become happier and more positive. And they're not bringing anything to you. There becomes a point in a narcissistic relationship where you realise that no matter what you do, this problem is never going to be fixed. And I hope that many of you will come to the conclusion that it will never be fixed because it's not your problem to fix. It's theirs. But they don't see it as though it's their problem. And that is why nothing ever changes. Because if someone recognises a problem and they put the time and effort in to fix that, it should get resolved. But it never does with narcissists. Because there's no mutual understanding. They're self-absorbed and they lack empathy. They don't care about what you're going through. They don't care about your feelings. There's no love or affection because they're emotionally unavailable. They can't connect to you. They want you to attach to them, but they don't want to attach to you. These are the differences between a relationship with a narcissist and an emotionally healthy partner. With the emotionally healthy partner, you feel loved, you feel cherished, you feel accepted, you feel special and important. With a narcissist, you just feel like you don't matter. You feel insignificant, irrelevant, because to the narcissist, you don't matter. All that matters is what you can do for them. Supply. In emotionally healthy relationships, love, loyalty, acceptance and understanding is what is most important. In narcissistic relationships, it's all about supply. That's what fuels them. We may be fuelled by peace, love and joy, but narcissists are fuelled by supply. That is why you can never have a healthy relationship with a narcissist. Quite a deep topic here today, but I hope it's given you something to think about. Anyway, I'd just like to thank you all for joining me on another Narc Survivor Live video. I do appreciate you all. Thank you all for your support and I will talk to you in another live video very soon.
