A classic study of public attitudes toward radio reveals that the basic needs for information, pleasure, relaxation and companionship of 96% of all adults are satisfied by radio. Advertisers like Jim Webb of the A-Web Locksafe and Alarm Company are finding this to be an excellent environment in which to present their advertising message. Jim advertises on the Al Carroll Show Saturdays and Sundays and Jim feels, well let's let Jim tell it. He advertises with Al Carroll on his super handyman show and I believe the audience of the super handyman show must enjoy Al's commercials because we had good response. I believe that probably advertising with Al Carroll and WFAA pays in the long run. That's the voice of one of many advertisers who have tried radio advertising and enjoyed its results. Results after all are what it's all about. WFAA. Radio. The personal medium. What's the theme from the Sears Radio Theater? Tonight a program of mystery with Vincent Price as your host. Here's a preview. Who's spirit haunts this house? Alright, who is the ghost? It haunts this house. The Sears Radio Theater will begin after this message from your local station.

It is early November, less than three weeks before Thanksgiving. A young woman very pretty is walking along Lexington Avenue carrying a shopping bag. Her buoyant stride and radiant face suggests she has just bought a new dress. She seems oblivious to her surroundings as carefree as if she were strolling through a meadow on a fine spring day. She approaches 49th Street, looking straight ahead. She begins to cross against the light. Suddenly struck down, her reverie of a moment before shattered like a glass figurine under the wheels of a taxi cab. Oh my, hey, is she dead? Don't move her, don't move her, somebody call an ambulance. Be wild, you step off of the car. Oh jeez. She don't look good. She ain't movin'. Odents are not unusual in New York. Hundreds happen every day. Yet this one, as we shall discover, is different. It is just the beginning of a mysterious series of events. Events that will be felt, but perhaps never explained or understood. Radio Theatre, a new adventure in radio listening. Five nights of exceptional entertainment every week. Brought to you in Elliott Lewis' production of The Sears Radio Theatre. Our story, Going Home by Ann Heath. Our stars, Ann Given and Jack Krushen. The Sears Radio Theatre is brought to you by Sears Roboc and Company, where value is your byword. Sears, where America shops. Our family is growing pretty big these days. We've got family members in nine different states. And Sears sure comes in handy. We can select gifts at the Sears near us, then bring them along on visits. To our daughter in Seattle and my brother in Miami. And if what we bought isn't just right for them, they go to the Sears near them and exchange it. That's Sears. In their stores or through the catalog, Sears is where America shops. The words out and spreading fast about the jeans from Sears Man's store that grow beautifully.

Or does reality lie instead on the other side of consciousness? Dr. Miss Stevens, you're in a hospital. Hospital? How did I get...what happened? Well, you've had an accident. Don't try to talk now. An accident. But I don't remember any accident. Last thing I remember, I was walking down the street. Lexington, I think it was, and I had a package. Yes, I remember now. It was a dress. I just bought that lavender dress. Don't tire yourself, my dear. What you need now is sleep. Plenty of time later to think about what happened. Doctor, I can't remember anything.  It's a miracle you weren't killed. Killed? Yes, my dear. By rights, you should be dead. Dead people don't talk, so be a good girl and go to sleep. I'll check in on you later. The hospital lasted almost two weeks, but it seemed like a lifetime. Although my memory gradually returned, I still couldn't recall the accident itself. The mind has been known to block out traumatic events. Perhaps it was this defense mechanism that was working within me. Finally, I was released and allowed to return home to my apartment. The day after my return, I received a telephone call from someone whose voice I didn't recognize. Is this the lonely Lydia? Who is this? Last Lydia, I've been phoning for days. You never seem to be in. I've been away. Please, who is this? Do you remember the old farmhouse on Deerfield Road in Cornwall? Why, yes. That's where I spent summers as a child. But how do you know the house? My name is Alexander Pluto, but my friends call me Alex. I bought the house two years ago from that farmer. What was his name? Riska. Yes, Bill Riska. He bought the farm from my father. He was going to give it to his son when he was old enough to farm it himself. Well, old man seemed relieved to be rid of the place, almost as happy as I was to find it. You see, I'm a sculptor, and I've been searching for just the right place to work. The farmhouse would be too remote for most people, neighbor is three miles down the road. Then it hasn't changed. Not in the least. I'm glad to hear that, Mr. Pluto. Yes, well, I've often wondered what became of the place. I'm not surprised Billy didn't want to stay in the sticks. He was kind of a wild kid. It's good to know the house belongs to someone who cares for it. Well, it was very thoughtful of you to call and tell me... That's not quite the reason I called. Oh? I don't suppose you believe in spirits. You mean ghosts?  No, what I'm referring to is the spirit or presence, if you will, of an actual person. There's one living in this house. Mr. Pluto. Alex. I really have a time for ghost stories today. It's been nice talking with you, but I must go now. Aren't you just a little bit curious to know who the spirit haunts this house? All right, who is the ghost? What are you saying? At first, it was just a feeling like when you sensed there's someone in the room with you. I can't believe I'm hearing this. Then you began to appear to me in a more human form. Human form? I don't really have a... What am I saying? This is insane. Listen, I'm sure you didn't call just to upset me. If this is some kind of joke, it's not very funny. What you're saying is absurd. Even if there were such things as ghosts or spirits, as you call them, and only a child would believe that, mine couldn't possibly be haunting your house. It's impossible, Mr. Pluto, because I'm not dead. To look the height of fashion wherever I go requires many coats. But for home, I need only one coat fashion surrounding me.

Now first, Sears is S-E-A-R-S, not Z. So backspace to the incorrect letter. Tap the correction key. Now the mistake is blocked out. Next type the correct letter. Then proceed.  I'm sure you didn't call just to upset me. If this is some kind of joke, it's not very funny. What you're saying is absurd. There were such things as ghosts or spirits, as you call them, and only a child would believe that. Mine couldn't possibly be haunting your house. It's impossible, Mr. Pluto, because I'm not dead. It was almost 20 years ago, I was only 10. And ebony. There's a known to be eccentric, but even allowing for artistic temperament, Alexander Pluto seemed an unusually odd sort of man. There was something about his voice. It gave me an eerie feeling, and I couldn't stop thinking about the strange things he'd said. How did he know so much about me? And what was it he wanted? The next day he phoned again. And again the following day. Hello? Calling me. What do you want? All I want is... What do you mean? I am home. This is where I live. Look, Mr. Pluto, that's your home now, not mine. Yes. Hanging up. Please don't call me again. No, I've been... Yes, yes, I've been away. I'd like you to fill a prescription for me. Sure thing, be glad to. Let's see what we've got here. Tranquillizers, huh? Yes, I haven't been sleeping well. Oh, that's a common ailment in this city. I'd say half the people that come in here are looking for a way to get a good night's rest. Will it take long? What? The prescription. Will it take long? I'm kind of in a hurry. No, no, no, won't take but a minute. I'll just type this up for you.  Away? Yes, away from our fair city. You're tripping. Oh, yes. Where'd you go, the Bahamas? No, I went to visit a friend in Philadelphia. Philadelphia? No, that's not my idea of a vacation. No, if we could afford it, me and the Mrs. we'd go to those Bahamas. Plenty of sunshine, miles and miles of white powdery beaches. Please, I really am in a hurry. Oh, sorry. I guess I got carried away. I thought that it's kind of a dream of ours someday. Forgive me for saying this, but you don't seem quite yourself. Is something troubling you? No, no, of course not. It's the lack of sleep. It makes me a little tense, that's all. Are you sure that's all it is? Yes, of course I'm sure. All right. Here are your pills, Miss Stevens. Shall I put this on your account? Yes, thank you. You'd better take one of those right away and calm those nerves of yours. You'd think somebody was after you or something. You knew the drug is meant well, but I just couldn't take his chatter or his prying. I had to get back to the solitude of my apartment, where I'd be safe from questions I couldn't answer. That blasted key. Coming, I'm coming. Ah, here it is. You've got to stop this. If you don't stop bothering me, I'll call the police.  No phone calls, nothing. Maybe he'd finally given up. One morning I was talking on the phone to Sheila, my closest and dearest friend. You should call the police, just in case he's still hanging around. No, they'd think I was crazy. Just another neurotic female who's scared of her own shadow. You have to get killed before the cops will help you. Oh, Lydia, this guy, most snaps are harmless, but you never know. I'll do it for you. No, please, Sheila. I want to put all that behind me. I want to forget. I've been like a prisoner in this apartment. It's time I got out and back to work. I want to feel like a normal person again. Oh, it's good to hear you talk like that. But I still wish that... Sheila, please. All right, all right. Can we get together for lunch soon? I'd love to. How about Wednesday? Wednesday. Let me think. Oh, yeah, that'd be great. Let's go to that little omelet place where we already... Hold on a sec, Sheila. There's someone at the door. It's probably the boy of the groceries. It's you, killer man with graying hair, dressed in a worn cardigan and corduroy trousers. His intense, slate blue eyes seem to penetrate right through me, holding me transfixed, unable to speak or to move. Hello, Lydia. I've come to take you home. After this message from your local station. When you're looking for the dog food used by most professional dog owners and breeders, you're looking for Wayne dog food.

Want to know the best way to better a lawn? Well, if the grass is always greener on your neighbor's side of the fence, it's probably because he uses best lawn food, a balanced fertilizer for greener, healthier lawns. Best lawn food contains an effective combination of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash to promote early growth. And its exclusive zip polyphosphate formula means more available phosphorus over longer periods of time, resulting in a stronger root system and greener, healthier grass. On the other hand, if the grass is always weedier on your side of the fence, you can knock out those weeds and feed your lawn at the same time with best weed and feed. This is a zip polyphosphate formula, but it also contains trimec for effective weed control. He can do two jobs in one application. And speaking of best, now you can have the best t-shirt in town. Bright, glamorous, full-color best t-shirts will be on sale at the best lawn and gardens product booth at WFAA Spring Thing, in the women's building at Fair Park, April 6th, 7th, and 8th. See you there. Run up and down your spine. There's a creeping sensation at the back of your neck. You're listening to CBS Radio Mystery Pair. I'm E. G. Marshall, your host for these hour-long dramas of suspense, adventure, and the macabre. Heard seven times a week on most of these stations. Here's a sample of what we mean. Hush, my dad.  You have nothing to fear. And those who move against us learn to power and terror. And those who rule the night are with the power and the glory. You will inherit the world. And I am your queen in whatever guy I choose to cook myself. Listen here for CBS Radio Mystery Theater seven times a week on most of these CBS radio network stations. As it lasts, come face-to-face with the voice on the telephone. Drawn by some unknown force as powerful as love itself, she's compelled to go with this stranger. What is the power he has over her? And where is this place he calls home? Don't be afraid, Lydia. I'm an excellent driver. You! I came for you. But I don't remember. There's nothing to remember. All that matters is that you're here now. Where are you taking me?  You mean we're going to Cornwall to the farmhouse? That's right. Oh. There's nothing to be afraid of.  Now it's a long drive, so why not just sit back and relax? It's plenty of time for a nap if you'd like. There's a pillow on the back seat. I'm not tired. As you wish. I just want you to be comfortable. Comfortable? Is this your idea of comfort? First you terrorized me on the phone for days, and now you... you kidnapped me. If you don't intend to harm me, then what do you want with me? Nothing more than what I've already told you. You must trust me. Trust you? Yes. Everything's going to be fine. Just fine. Everything would be fine. How I wished I could believe that. I tried to make sense of what was happening, but my head was clouded with fear. Sheila was right. I should have called the police. You warm enough, Lydia? This heater doesn't work very well, I'm afraid. Yes, I'm fine. Are you sure? There's an afghan on the back. Thank you. I'm not cold. You know, I tried to think of everything. I so wanted this to be a pleasant trip, but the weather isn't cooperating, is it? This time of year, I suppose we should be grateful it's not a snowstorm. I haven't put the chains in the trunk of this old jalapie yet. I've been so wrapped up in my work, I've lost all track of time. Your work? Yes, I guess you forgot, and I'm a sculptor. For this past month, I've been working on something terribly exciting. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever done. That is, it will be when it's finished. I am so anxious for you to see it. Is that why you kidnapped me? I do wish you'd stop using that word. It sounds so villainous.  Well, aren't you? Hardly. I'm afraid I've never been common anything. There wasn't time. As an artist, my life has been devoted solely to the quest for beauty. A beauty that is as timeless as love. Did you know that true beauty, like true love, is a vision of the eternal? You see, Lydia, there are other planes, other dimensions of existence. If we don't fear them, they reveal themselves to us, just as your spirit has revealed itself to me. I don't understand any of this. Well, perhaps you will when we get to the farmhouse. We're almost out of gas. There's a station around the next bend. Yes, there it is. Yes, fill it up, please, regular. Winter's coming, all right. She's been pouring down like this most all day. Don't look like she wants to let up, neither. Your folks come far? Now we're driving up from the city. City folks, eh? And don't get down to the city much myself. The wife and I, we make a trip into Hartford about once a year before Christmas. The wife likes to shop in them fancy stores for the grandkids. Do you know them stores, ma'am? No, no, I don't. You, uh, you're feeling all right, ma'am? You look kind of pale. Yes, I'm fine. Alex, if you don't mind, I'd like to go to the restroom. Can't wait till we get home. You said I should trust you. Can't you trust me? I want to, Lydia. Can you tell me where your lady's room is, please? Right round back, ma'am. You can't miss it. Oh, you'll be sulked. Clear through. Ah, women.  Can't go to a gas station without paying a visit to the ladies. Let me to police and hurry. What city? Any city. There are a lot of police. We have to know which one you want. But I don't know. Yes, I am. Then look on the phone book. It should tell you what city is closest to you. Phone book. Yes, here it is. New Milford. It's New Milford. Thank you. One moment, please. I'll connect you. Please, hurry. McConnell speaking. I'll take that phone, lady. Hello? Anybody there? I did want to trust you, Lydia. In silence, I slumped down in the seat. My forehead pressed against the cold window. I stared out at the gray, rain-swollen sky. The bleak November landscape flashing by. My mind and body were drained. I was unable to struggle further against a force I couldn't understand. Enveloped by a sense of foreboding, I awaited my fate as the car moved northward through the rain toward, toward what? That afternoon, the car finally turned off the main highway onto a narrow dirt road surrounded by dense woods. We're almost home, Lydia. About three miles further on, we came to a clearing. There, on a knoll, set back from the road, beneath the protective branches of two ancient elm trees, stood the farmhouse. When the car arrived in front of the house, the rain suddenly stopped and the sun broke through the clouds. Vapors of steam curled upwards from the roof toward the brightening sky. The house glistened like a memory. Come on, get out of the car, Lydia. Everything. It's all just as it used to be. Do come and have a look around. Yes, all right. The moment I forgot my fear, in my joy at seeing again my beloved childhood home, I wandered over the property, fond memories returning as I rediscovered familiar places. As if I never left. There was the vegetable garden, all tilled and ready for winter. And the apple orchard, even the old ladder, resting against the same crooked tree. But the biggest surprise was my swing. I ran toward it as eagerly as if I were greeting an old friend. How I used to love that swing. I'd sit for hours, just swinging back and forth, looking out over the trees across the road, dreaming of the places I was going to go, the people I'd meet someday. Sometimes I'd see a storm coming way off. Then suddenly it would be there and I'd run for dear life to the potting shed. The potting shed. I wondered if it was still there behind the house. It was unchanged. I pulled open the rickety door and went inside, just looking around. Of course you were. There's so much to see, isn't there? Yes. It's also familiar. I know. It's just as you remembered it. Exactly. It's all exactly the same. I can't believe it. Believe it, Lydia. It's as real as you or me. But I still don't understand. Why have you brought me here? You'll know soon enough. It's not something I can tell you. You must discover it for yourself. Let's go inside. I have a surprise for you. What's the best way to save on new clothes? Sew them. Start by saving $40 on a Kenmore sewing machine at Sears with a convertible free arm for narrow sleeves, cuffs and legs, a built-in button-holer, even six stretch stitches. This free arm Kenmore, just $199.95 and save $30 on a wood veneer sewing cabinet. Sail ends March 31st. Prices and dates may vary in Alaska and Hawaii. Available at most Sears retail stores. Kenmore. Solid as Sears. Isn't the wedding lovely? I'm talking about your dress. It's a soft and breezy spring. Soft dressing is what spring is all about. Her dress is from Sears Expressive collection of dresses and skirt sets. Fluid lines and feminine designs. Fine detailing to shape and define in fabrics that move with you. Polyester or polyester and silk in subtle spring shades for quiet excitement. This is petite and half sizes in the dress department at most larger Sears retail stores.

You can create a more casual look with solid-color blazers and patterned slacks or patterned sport coats and solid-color slacks. The colors coordinate to let you mix and match. Now that styles sense and satisfaction. The classic collection at most larger Sears retail stores. Here's the concluding act of going home. We entered the house through the kitchen. As the door closed behind me I was plunged further into a world which unlike Alice's Wonderland was uncanny in its familiarity. It was as if the past 20 years never existed and I was once again a child of ten. The kitchen was my favorite room, always so warm and cozy. What good times we had there. The huge stone fireplace, the Dutch oven, the yellow dotted Swiss curtains at the window. On the table with a wooden bowl that looked like the one mother kept filled with fruit. Only now it held red pomegranates. How does it look to you? It hasn't changed. It's a wonderful room, don't you think? There's so much of you in it. I feel as if I'm dreaming. As though any minute I'll wake up and I'll be back in my apartment and none of this will have ever happened. You're not dreaming, Lydia. But this can't all be real. I assure you it is. Now, come along. I want you to see the rest of the house. This is incredible. The living room, it's the same. Even the furniture. Where did you get this furniture? It was here when I bought the place. But it looks so new. Yes, it does look nice, doesn't it? This furniture belonged to my family. I know. You know, how could you know? I just know. Everything was in exactly the same place. The dining table, the couch under the window, the cobblers bench Papa bought for a coffee table and a chair. I like that chair myself. It's quite pleasant to sit there in the evening and read. No. Know what? How did you know where everything went? I told you. I just know. That clock, where did you get it? Which one? The one that just chimed. There on the mantelpiece. Oh, that one. A beauty, isn't it? I'm not with them when they sold the house. Why is it here? Please, Lydia, no more questions. There seems to be a chill in the house. I'll make a fire. Thoughtless of me. I should have warmed the house while you were outside looking around. Yes, it would have been nice and warm by now. Please, won't you tell me what this is all about? What do you want with me? Nothing. I want nothing. And why? Why what? You mustn't try so hard to understand. Some things can't be explained. They... They just happen. Happen? Yes. As I told you in the car, there exists a dimension other than the one we're accustomed to. Some people would call it supernatural. But I disliked that word. I prefer to think of it as a spiritual thing. Not in the religious, but in the mystical sense. Mystical? Yes. Something that can't be explained rationally or scientifically. Like... Spirit? Precisely. Now that's better. Do come and warm yourself, Lydia. When... When does my... Spirit appear to you? Different times. Most often while I'm working, it has to do with creativity. It makes one more receptive. It makes one more receptive. It makes one more receptive to other levels of awareness. Other levels of... Awareness, yes. It's very simple, really. Like being tuned into a different radio station. Has anyone else ever seen this... Spirit? No. Even if there were others here, chances are they wouldn't notice anything unusual, not being tuned in properly. One has to be on the right frequency to glimpse the world beyond. Beyond? Beyond. That means beyond life, doesn't it? That's right. That's what I don't understand. How can there be a spirit if the person isn't dead? Would you like some tea? I would. I'll go put the kettle on. Won't be a minute. Do get closer to the fire, Lydia. You'll look chilled to the bone. I'm afraid it's locked, Lydia. The front door is never used. If you come with me, there's something I want to show you. I...  Please, Lydia, this is very important. There's nothing to be afraid of. Please, I'd rather stay here. You must learn to trust me. Now come along, it's in the cellar. In the cellar? Yes. Follow me, I'll take your hand if you like. No, no, I'll come. There's my girl. I really must get oil on this door. Keep forgetting. Ah, there it goes. Mind your step. Now these stairs are a bit steep. Dark, I can't see. Your eyes will adjust in a moment. There's a light switch down at the bottom. Be light. You see now? What's that? That thing with the cloth over it. That's my surprise. Come closer, Lydia. Come stand where you can see when I take the cover off. There, that's right. Are you ready? Yes, I guess so. Mind it's not quite finished yet. I'm feeling the surprise. With the marble figure of a woman. She was delicate and graceful. With the translucency of alabaster. She looked like a Greek statue. She looked like a Greek statue. She looked like a Greek statue. She looked like a Greek statue. And yet, something about her was strangely contemporary. Well, what do you think? She's, she's beautiful. I knew you'd like her. When she's finished, she'll be my most exquisite creation. Tell me, do you recognize her? I, I don't think so. Now look carefully. Can't be me. How could you have known? I mean, but, but she's so, so beautiful. That's how I see you, Lydia. It's a lovely Persephone. Persephone? The loveliest of goddesses. Not even Aphrodite could hold a candle to her, to either of you. Lydia, would you be kind enough to do me a favor? What is it? Would you pose for me? There's one area that's giving me trouble around the eyes. Your eyes were never quite clear when you appeared before.  That, that, that's it, that's it good. Now, this will only take a moment or two. There's a, a poem by D. H. Lawrence. Let me see if I can remember how it goes. Let me, let me guide myself with the torch of a flower down the darker and darker stairs, down the way a Persephone goes, just now in first frosted November. Propriet, don't you think? I, I don't know. Oh, I think I've got the essence. She, she just needs some refining to live up to her model. You, you can move now. And if you'll excuse me, I, I must continue working if I'm to finish today.  My room? Yes, it's right where it was. Just up the stairs and to the left. Oh, and Lydia? Yes? Do forget about trying to escape. It's not possible. Almost in a state of shock after the day's bizarre events, I left the dank enigma of the cellar. As it's drawn by a magnet, I climbed the stairs to the second floor. I walked down the hallway to where my room used to be, then hesitated, unsure of what I might find inside. I took a deep breath and opened the door. The room was just the way I left it over 20 years before. I stood there in the doorway and gazed into the past. There was my white canopy bed, my dresser, a stuffed animal collection on the blue chair in the corner. Even my treasured copy of Black Beauty on the little pine desk papa made for me. I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought I must be losing my mind. First, I couldn't remember how I ended up in the hospital and now I wonder where that came from. I went to the window and part of the organ decurtans. Below in the gathering darkness I could barely make out the dim forms.  Suddenly seized by a cold panic, its icy fingers gripped my skull like a vice. I had to get out of there. I ran out of the room and down the stairs as quietly as I could. Lydia? Forgive me, I didn't mean to start at you. Please, I must get back to the city. I must go. I'm sorry, but you can't leave. Not anymore. Your return has already been delayed. It's almost a month over at you. What do you mean, overdue? Since the accident. The accident? Yes, dear Lydia. And now you've come home. At last, you've come home to stay. The thing I remember, I was walking down the street Lexington, I think it was. Yes, I remember now. I just bought that lavender dress. Do continue to exist in another dimension.

I'm Rita Sands reporting on the CBS Radio Network. Unless new problems develop, Egypt and Israel could sign a long awaited peace treaty within two weeks. Their defense ministers will arrive in Washington this week to work out final details. It'll be a review of U.S. military commitments which play an important role in the treaty. Pentagon sources say the estimated $4 billion in military aid to be spread over three or four years will be almost equally divided between Israel and Egypt. Key congressional leaders say it will be money well spent. Former President Richard Nixon agrees. While peace cannot be purchased by dollars alone and no one should ever make that fatal mistake, if by an expenditure of money we can strengthen the foundation of peace it exists.


Here we go. And thank you for the super sticker. Mystic with lipstick. Right, question, Jonathan. I may have been lovebomb. What is that? I made it clear I was not expecting anything. I just wanted to tell him how I felt before I move. Okay, great question, lovebombing. Okay, let me tell you, lovebombing, I've done this so many times I can't count. When a man is driven by lust or limerence. Limerence, L-I-M-E-R-N-C-A, L-I-M-E-R-E-N-C-E limerence. Means extreme infatuation. When a man is experiencing extreme infatuation or we're experiencing lust, we oftentimes are biologically unaware that we are in this state of extreme enthusiasm. And we're not in our rational mind. And when we're feeling that, we just feel absolute love for another human being. And we do something, we just, lovebombing is just showering someone with a ton of attention. Now it's wrapped in good deeds, like I want a relationship with you. I can see a future with you. Oh my God, I could see us getting married. My God, you're the most amazing person on the planet.  In fact, I've dated hundreds of women. You are the most different. You're the unicorn from them all. Have any of you heard that? I know I've said it, I've said it dozens of times. Not because I was, quite frankly, I wasn't in my right mind. When we're in lust or infatuation, we're literally out of our consciousness and we're literally driven by the biology or within us. And we'll do whatever it takes to squinch that lust, that lust drive. And that's where lovebombing oftentimes starts from. An unhealthy unconscious approach to dating, mating, or relating. So now here's what I have to say. What about the woman who accepts lovebombing? Well, she's gotta take ownership on her part. I'm gonna tell you something, ladies. What do men think about on every first date? What's the one thing on their mind that every single man on the planet thinks about on a first date?  We are lust driven, okay? So you gotta take whatever comes out of our mouth with a grain of salt because it's not real until you've actually developed the roots to trust in a relationship. And that takes somewhere between three to six months at a minimum. So just recognize that when that happens, that does not mean true love. True love happens, listen. True love happens when the person you're with is going through chemotherapy and you're wiping the vomit from their face. That's true love. True love is being there for your partner when they're going through a tough time. I had one client who she just started dating a man and 30 days into dating her son had an accident and died, same as my son, same age, same thing happened. And this guy just stepped right into this relationship because his emotional response, he could handle more emotional responsibility than the average guy. And he leaned into with her and he totally supported her. And within eight months they got engaged and they got married or within a year they got engaged and got married. So I'm here to say that a lot of times we can only handle so much, okay? And then some people can handle a lot and true love is being there during the tough times, being there through the tough times, not the easy times, it's through the tough times. Thank you for that question. I truly appreciate it, big hugs to you. By the way, I just got a new coffee mug. It says sometimes you forget you're awesome. So this is your reminder. This was a gift from one of you out in the YouTube universe. On my website is the address to my company and out of the blue I got this sweet gift from one of you beautiful souls. I can't thank you enough. I mean, I gotta tell you lately I've been getting a lot of little gifts in the mail. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I love my new mug and a reminder that I'm awesome. Thank you so much. Her name is Alice, big hugs and thanks to you Alice.


Alrighty there sound here. Let's play the whole thing in full. I have been stabbed, shot, poisoned, frozen, hung, electrocuted, and burned. Oh really? Every morning I wake up without a scratch on me, not a dent in the fender. I am immortal. I have been stabbed. Alright. I'm gonna turn on that sound way down here. So there's some interesting stuff there to see. I have some comments here, of course, and I got some questions and mostly also some character motivation questions. So let's go one by one. So let's see. I kind of like that beginning that we actually focus on hands. The thing that's a bit tricky is that we also have movement here. So I'm looking at the fingers. Shot, poisoned, frozen. And I guess it's just a reaction to frozen that she has here. I don't know. To me it seems like it's also a bit of an overlap with this. Like if then I will put them further out, you know, where the feet are maybe here, just kind of cheat that distance. We don't really care about the, you know, the real-life distance there. And then potentially, since we are a bit low every now and then on this, bring up that arm in the hand. So that, excuse me, the fingers are more about here. There's something where we globally take the whole thing and move it up a bit and hurt a bit over there. Personally, just just in terms of composition and yeah, and readability. Watch out at the end. Like I don't mind the way it's here and the contact point is good on the fingers. Just this seems a bit odd at the very end. Once we hear how the fingers kind of spread out to the side. To me, I would just go boom and then cut or if you want to hold for a little bit, just keep it around here and have the moving hold more in the in the wrist and arm. You know, potentially just kind of keep whatever you have, but not move. Personally, I wouldn't move the fingers up. That feels like a weird deliberate move mainly because also this finger doesn't move and this one really wants to go over there. Now the thing is now in the transition to this shot, if we keep this, and we look at this. They're moving fairly slowly and kind of softly as if it's kind of listening maybe, but not really that tense, but then we cut to squeaky face. What am I listening to here where it feels like the feet would be staying like this maybe with some movement every now and then, but sharper movement that kind of reflects the tension that's in there. electrocuted and burned. Oh really? The thing that's kind of odd, and I'm gonna put the sound back in here, is that electrocuted and she is reacting to what he sings. All right, that's fine. Electrocuted and burned. Oh really? But then this seems more like sarcastic. Oh really? Oh really? She doesn't really believe it. Really? And I know it's in the sound but But this seems weird because it's oh really? I don't really believe you but then I'm really shocked at what you're saying. Like that just doesn't quite work for me.  Really? Where it's more like oh really? And then imagine she would just kind of almost go from here to here but not back but imagine this goes down a bit slower to match that sound but then more with a bit of a smile and I roll like I can't believe he's saying all this. That to me would make more sense given this especially the tone here. And burned. Oh really? Of how she says how really. Let's bring back the sound of it. Which then would have to kind of match to you know so you don't end up with this so whatever you end up here will match there in terms of her. And then the weird thing is that let's go back up with the sound. Every morning I wake up without a scratch on me not a dent in the So he says all this. Without a scratch on me not a dent in the fender. She reacts you know and they're still very doubtful at the face. Watch out with eye line doesn't quite look like they're connecting there. I am an immortal. Like the way he does this like I don't mind what he does because he says all that stuff. A dent defender. I think this beard is really strange how much there is movement in a beard and the chin. This is usually fairly you know fairly doesn't really move at all if there may be this thing but if there's a ton of wind. So to me I would take out the animation on the chin and the hair. That type of flappy overlap is very strange.  Like that works. I don't mind that. Watch on me not a dent in the fender. This I would be careful because then you get into that classic W pose where. Watch on me not a dent in the fender. Like what is he pointing to or towards. Like why do we need that. I think to me it would be more offender. What is he going he goes back there. I don't know to me personally this are usually overused gestures in animation. The doubly pose and just arms out and you know pointing and stuff like that. It could just be since you've been using arms. It could just be something where this is purely told through the chest, shoulder and head and the arms actually just go back down with hands on the thigh. Personally that's kind of how I would explore that. Silhouette wise I would try to bring that hand a bit more over here. You're gonna have to cheat that cup over here and then have that hand a bit further out so that you have a bit more room to show that bends. Right now it just looks like a very short arm. Silhouette wise and we're really losing the structure of that arm whereas this is better. I mean if it's something like this imagine arms just lower. Hand here, hand here. Really understand the length of both arms. And then so the other thing that's kind of odd is that he says all this and she's all suspicious and then suddenly like why is she suddenly going crazy eyed. You know really just showing a lot of white on the eyeball. Looking at this. I am an immortal. To grab this and again we're back to doubly pose watch out for stuff like that. I am an immortal. To grab this and if there's something in there this would just spill. I don't know to me if she is if she's not really interested you could to me sell this although it's tricky because we want to look at him cup without a scratch on me not a dent in the fender. I'm not super worried about this even though this stills the focus of that scratch on me not a dent in the fender. He does just keep talking repeating himself kind of so it's I don't actually quite mind that she does that thing but thinking out loud what I'm thinking here is that he does all this she's not really believing any of this. So do not have this shock reaction and when this happens it could just be maybe she drinks and realized oh it's empty and because she doesn't have any coffee anymore that's why she wants this and this would just be more maybe at this point you can also do it where he's done talking since you already don't have any eye contact he would be looking here and then almost looking at camera and then looking over and looking over so you have a bit more of a gradual you know progression of him looking away and because he starts looking away she then puts the coffee cup down but then just kind of grabs this and kind of slides it over and not to draw attention just to kind of sneak it over and then to drink. I hope that makes sense it just to meet all those elements seem odd where she has shock and then if she's back into not trusting then she's going into like a big thing that he would absolutely notice and that is a huge gesture that would spill everything else and I think I would combine or think about moments of well if she is out of coffee if she wants that coffee why does she want that coffee is that because she's out of coffee or this tastes bad and she just wants this and then she would just kind of grab it or you know a bit more sneakily grab it into that and I know like I have a bit more I'm okay with all the stuff that he does he seems fairly in character it seems all okay I'm just slightly confused about that so I guess it's more questions than critique I guess so let me know let me know an email let's talk about this and what we can do about all that all right thanks all right there's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want you can submit whatever you want you get 16 submissions either way a like and subscribe would be awesome all right thank you


Well good morning everyone. I'd like to call the 63rd meeting of the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research to order. Thank you all for coming. It's going to be a busy and important couple of days and we have a lot of ground to cover. So let's just move right into this. I'll turn this over to Mark for a series of things. So normally we start with introduction of new members and staff and we actually have quite a few to introduce, but before we do that there are four council members who are for whom this is the last, their last meeting as they're rotating off of their term of duty. I have to say that we are sorry to see them leave the council. I would expect that they're a lot happier and to have their time back. All have been valuable advisors for the past several years in many cases even long before that before they came on council and in all of these cases we hope they will continue to be after they're rotate off. And we have a small token of our appreciation. So the first is Claire. There's her ligate. I should say all of them are involved in really front line issues that the NHGRI is dealing with now and will continue to be. Claire is as you know heavily involved in microbiome and all of these issues are things which are going to come up during this this council meeting. Jeff Ginsburg. Jeff in making valuable contributions in the area of clinical applications. Pilar Asario. And maybe taking it a little bit early is David Valley who's not here yet. I hope we hope he didn't think that last meeting was his last meeting. I prefer what I imagine they've not been here. So all of those views and all the other top of the zone.  You've got a sign certificate of appreciation from the secretary. And now we're introducing you this time. A wonderful last piece of double I'm not a cracker. We have four ad hoc members who are joining us for this meeting. Actually, the first one Carlos Bustamante who's not here will be joining the council. But his processing hasn't been completed yet. But he'll be here as an ad hoc. And then Sean Eddy, Bill Gilbert and David Malcolm are all joining for this meeting. And we really appreciate your willingness to do this. We get those lovely paper weights as alumni. Absolutely. You got to serve again and again and again. We have several new staff members, including a number of new program analysts. And I'll just ask them to stand when I call their name. Carolyn Kelly, who is working with the ENCODE program. Cengue Mahomba, who is working with H3Africa. Ian Marpuri, working with population genomics. Glenn McFadden is working with the Molecular Libraries program. Adity Shrivastava is working with TCGA. I got her name right, but I didn't get the program right. And Tamar Rumiim is working with the DAC and the LC program. Thank you. Also want to introduce Derek Scholes, who is chief of the newly hired chief of the Policy and Program Analysis branch in the director's office, OPCE, which you'll hear more about later in the open session, and Katrina Kapusti, who is newly here as an ASHG and HGRI policy fellow. Thank you. As always, we have our reliable and valued liaisons, Rhonda Schoenberg from the National Society of Genetic Counselors, and Joanne Bachmann from the American Society of Human Genetics. And also want to introduce one other guest, Rear Page from RTI. Thank you. And is there anybody else who I haven't introduced who should be? If not, we can go on to approval of the minutes, which you should have at least had access to. Are there any comments or corrections or additions to the minutes from the last meeting? If not, can I have a motion to approve? Second, all in favor? Anyone opposed? And finally, I will just call your attention to the future meeting dates for the council. For some of you, you can ignore those. For the rest of them, please make sure that they're on your calendars, and if there are any problems with any of them for you, let us know as soon as possible. And I'll turn it back to Eric.


The presence of so many cabinet ministers this morning illustrates to you and the world the importance in which we take this ceremony. And I know many people are speaking about devices and COVID, but I want to remind you that long before COVID, the party that I lead had promised that every child in St. Lucia would have had one laptop. It was the foreside and the philosophy of the party. The philosophy that says that there must be equal opportunity for all individuals. Every child in spite of where they are born or where they live or where their parents come from or the color of their skin should have equal opportunity for education in the country of his birth. And this is why we took that position that because of the change in the way education was processed. Because of the change where people received the education that technology was important and the position of one laptop per student became a mantra of the St. Lucia Labour Party. And now it's a mantra of the government of St. Lucia in spite of COVID. I want to say that it's significant that we want to give every child and emphasize every child a device. Because with a device that child has the same opportunity as a child anywhere in the world. The same opportunity and our children through their parents and the parents must emphasize that our children take advantage of that situation. And it's again, it's a philosophical shift. It's a philosophical shift that says we must bring tourism to the entire country through the community tourism project. It's a shift of philosophy. It's a mindset. It's the same philosophy that says we must pay facility fees for every child. It's a philosophy that says we must pay CXC fees and I want to show you that before the end of this term will be paying every CXC fee for every child in this country before the end of this parliamentary term. And also and we continue to dream again is the philosophy that says that we will ensure or will try within a reasonable time for every child to have an opportunity for secondary school education. And hopefully we can get one university graduate in every household in this country. So this ceremony is small but significant. But the presence of the members of the cabinet should send a message to the people of Senusia and to the children of Senusia that we take education seriously. We do not believe that things like computers and what children need for their education should become gifts. Gifts are welcome. But we think it's a government's duty to make these things available. It's a government's duty. And this government in spite of our fiscal constraints will make it its duty to ensure that every child gets the requirements of what they want to live in this modern world. So I want to thank the OECS. I want to thank the Ministry of Education. I want to thank the special mention of the Ministry of Education, the OECS. I'm sure it would have been in its glory here today but he isn't here. But using the technology I think he may be hearing. I don't know if the Ministry of Education, although they have a very advanced PR machine if the Ministry of Education is hearing and viewing the ceremony. So I want to thank the teachers of the country, the teachers of Senusia. They have been in the forefront of educating our children during the COVID pandemic.  I want to thank them and express our appreciation for the work they are doing and for the folks at the Ministry of Education. I thank you very much and you have a good day.


The British government is running through a very detailed examination of the balance of competencies between national governments and the European Union from a Buddhist perspective. There's 33 papers on everything from annual welfare to transport to the free movement of persons. We're doing this over two years. I hope it will provide a very sound, evidence-based foundation for a more informed debate. There's a range of skeptics about Europe. There are those who have some doubts about the way bustles work, don't like the bustles bubble and it's believed that the more things are organised from bustles, the better. And one can discuss with them as to what we have to do with other European countries and what we should appropriately do ourselves. There are a number of the Europhobes who believe that there's a conspiracy against the honest Englishmen and that foreigners are involved in this and that bustles is the centre of that conspiracy and that, of course, is a deeply emotional and irrational attitude which is shared by nationalists in France, Austria, the Netherlands and elsewhere, sadly. The coalition government passed an act in 2011 which said that the next time there is a substantial transfer of power from the United Kingdom to the European Union, we will have a referendum. My party has committed itself to saying that when that happens, the question should be do we want to stay inside the European Union as reformed or do we want to leave because that's the simplest and clearest question. What we don't know is when such substantial treaty change may or may not be presented over the next few years.
