I only got a Voit mask and flippers because Mike Nelson wore them.

I only went to Marineland of the Pacific because Mike Nelson worked from there.

I only got NAUI certified because of "Sea Hunt" and the incredible feeling of breathing underwater.

I only (probably among thousands), embarrassed myself to Lloyd Bridges, by saying "Sea Hunt" and he were responsible for my getting a scuba license .

I only took my kids scuba diving because I had seen "Sea Hunt", as a kid.

***Most of the above is true. Some is tongue in cheek.

SCUBA diving rocks!!!

cold water or warm. It is great

Thanks Ted, I went to the site and watched a few shows. The comedian Ernie Kovacs was pretty brilliant and quite a bit ahead of his time. His wife was Edie Adams, a sultry blonde (or is it redhead) who did some commericials for Muriel Cigars using music from the song, "Hey Big Spender" = see link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agdb7To1LlQ

He did commercial for Dutch Masters cigars using the music of Joeseph Haydn as a background:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=JFl2CNvvuKc

Ernie had an outstanding show using some elements of Red Skelton and some from Jackie Gleason plus a lot of his own stuff. Unfortunately he died in a car accident in Jan, 1962 at only 43. Imagine 1 muriel cigar for 10 cents in 1965. Now the tax on a cigar must be many times that amount!

Re: The old days - Aboard the Apollo - 1973

I was suggested to break the Candy Swanson's video into the smaller parts, so I did.

A suggestion from me, Tatiana: please get a separate external microphone for your camera. Sometimes the sound is OK, but sometimes it is awful, with the subject drowned out by too much background noise. The Candy video has too much background noise. It is distracting. Usually the video (visual) portion of your videos is fine and well lit, but the audio sometimes isn't fine.

You can get a reasonable lavalier (clips on the lapel or top of the dress) mic for roughly $20 or so (read the user reviews). Here is Amazon's page for them: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...=lavalier+microphone&sprefix=lavalier,aps,240

You could remove most of the background sound using the Noise Removal tool in Audacity (free audio editing software). I just tried it on the Candy video, and it improves it a bit, but there is only so much one can do. It is far easier to fix it at source first.

Who could have thought that in 2012 young people in Moscow would put on a "flash mob" happening, dancing to an *83 year old* *American song* written by a Russian born, American-Jew (Irving Berlin), whose last name is the capital of Germany.

Enjoy!

Paul thanks!
I know that this is a weak point and always try to take the videos inside in a quiet place. But Candy wanted it outside, and I was not professional to provide with adequate sound equipment and the quality went down, you are right.
I actually do have a mic of 80 backs worth, but then it should go through the mixer to get into the digital format... and at the end of all trouble (I tried it with my husband recording him singing) the quality is not much noticeably better, definitely not worth the trouble. The quiet place, like in the interview with Jim Logan or Ian Waxler does to a video as much good as an external mic.

Here is a second portion, Candy Swanson about Dancing! :)

WOWZER! Ted . . . That was one of the most enjoyable videos I've watched . . . you do find the treasures!

Though I still love my Clarke Gable effort for a good does of fun and corn . . .

Edit . . I just re-watched that "Putting on the Ritz" piece from Ted again.

I Sooo love watching good folks having a good time!

Re: The old days - Aboard the Apollo - 1973

I must be a really bad producer, as a background noise of the wind blowing or the leaves rustle, or even airplane rumble do not distract me, but add nicely into the unique picture of the moment. I can hear Candy all the way ok, I thought that's the only requirement.

I even find that noises somewhat spooky sometimes. For example, in the interview with Ken Urq. about LRH at night, there was horrible background noise of the party going on upstairs. And also there was a creature hiding in the bushes, that was interrupting Ken when he was trying to say something particular. Ken would get quiet and the creature in the bushes would go quiet. Ken then started talking, and the creature started making his laud noise. I thought it was fun, and only gave the interview a special flavor. :)

Like one that happened while Ken was talking about LRH on the 2011 convention, and LRH jumped loudly of the wall! :) That was quite a destructive background noise and motion. The speech was interrupted for a while by discussion if we should hang the LRH back on the wall or leave him on the floor. :) I wish I did not stop my camera and recorded that background incident. :)

Watch a bunch of professional interviews online and listen to what is on them. Maybe ten interviews, half a minute each.

Paul, professional is the whole different level, and watching it will not bring me there. I am not planning to become professional in that area, and for those interviews the quality of the videos I make are acceptable, as you can hear and understand one who talks.
 
Nora Ephron dead

[video=youtube;FZluzt3H6tk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZluzt3H6tk[/video]

Nora Ephron, famed screenwriter and director, dies at 71

"When Harry Met Sally," "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Silkwood" screenwriter Nora Ephron has died, according to the Washington Post and CBS News. She was 71 years old and was said to be suffering from leukemia.

Known as a prolific writer spanning film, stage, novels, works of journalism and blogs, Ephron was also an accomplished filmmaker, having both written and directed "Julie & Julia" (2009), "Bewitched" (2005), "You've Got Mail" (1998), "Michael" (1996), "Mixed Nuts" (1994), "Sleepless in Seattle" (1993) and "This Is My Life" (1992). She was nominated three times for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Born in 1941 in New York City to a writerly Jewish family, Ephron moved with her parents and three sisters to Beverly Hills when she was four. Both of her parents were screenwriters as are two of her sisters; and she has another sister who is a journalist and novelist.

Ephron majored in political science at Wellesley College but also wrote for the school paper, graduating in 1962. She interned at the White House during John F. Kennedy's administration and later became a reporter at the New York Post — eventually gaining praise for inserting her own voice into her work as part of the "New Journalism" movement.

Her 1983 novel "Heartburn" — which was later made into a film starring Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson — was inspired by her second marriage to famed Washington Post journalist Carl Bernstein (who helped break the Watergate story. Ephron married three times and has two sons.)

Some actors appeared in Ephron-penned films multiple times: Meryl Streep appeared in "Silkwood," "Heartburn" and "Julie & Julia"; Tom Hanks starred in "Sleepless in Seattle" and "You've Got Mail" as did Meg Ryan — who also starred in "When Harry Met Sally."

Wow. What a loss..

I just saw her on Charlie Rose not too long ago.

She looked in good health.

She was a great talent.

Clear and the Time Track

(From Post 58 – June 1999)


After all this time, I've finally realized a key fact about the state of Clear and the way R3R runs after clear.

After clear the pc's time track does not move at the auditor's command.

A clear will continue to mockup his own solid time track until he hits the clear-OT state. But it will only move under the control of the pc, not the auditor.

According to the R3R bulletins, the time track moves under the auditor's control. Based on the small amount of Dianetics I had before clear and based on running many hours of Dianetics on people who were not clear, this seems to be correct. The track moves when the auditor tells it to (assuming he is in control of the session and has decent TRs).

I had a great deal of Dianetics after clear. The auditor would say "move to (date)", and then, being in session and wanting to run the process and learn new things, I would obey the command and move the time track.

Notice the difference there. It is a big difference.

There is a time delay. The track moves instantly when it moves, but it doesn't move until the pc executes the auditing command.

Based on running a lot of Dianetics on others, the meter sometimes flicks when the track moves. On pcs who are not clear, you will see that flick (if it occurs) like an instant read on the move command. However, on pcs who I now think were unacknowledged Dianetic clears, that flick is latent, occurring when the pc did the command. It is not that the track takes time to move, it is that the pc takes time to decide to move it.

But there is an exception, which is entities' time tracks. These always move instantly at the command of the solo auditor. If they didn't, you would already have a blow.

Early on in NOTS however, and especially on unacknowledged clears, an entity may obey the auditor's orders and move at his command. I did not notice this happening later once I had a bit of awareness and control.

But in retrospect, I did have that happen sometimes in Dianetics.

It was always on overrun, gone past basic, or an unnecessary action. In those cases we would slip over onto a BT's track instead of my own. And in that case the time track would move under auditor control rather than being something which I did because I was asked to by the auditor.

That makes a mess because the unacknowledged clear being run on R3R misowns the BTs pictures for his own. I had to sort through a bunch of this on audited NOTS.

That is the liability of Dianetics after clear.

It is not that you can't run incidents or that you don't have incidents which you can make gains on running, it is that you can be pushed into sliding over onto somebody else's track.

With this trick, you can tell. If you consciously moved to the incident, it’s yours. If something else moved, then it ain't you.

Another interesting point is that after clear, the degree of impact or amount of force in an incident does not seem to be of significance. Lots of other stuff IS still significant in the incident, especially decisions, postulates, and your reaction at the time of the incident. But not the amount of force.

Also, the R3R commands specifically tend to get in the way. There are too many of them, especially the use of two move commands on one incident. There is too much thoroughness which coaxes you to put things back.

But incident running is still beneficial although it might better be left until you have enough cause and awareness over entities that you don't get fooled and misown their pictures. And it might best be done solo with a stripped down set of commands.

The time track retains its solidity until clear-OT. The solidity is the result of alter-is of time. Most especially it occurs because of pushing incidents out of sequence to justify overts, but other alter-ises are possible.

When the track blows, you cease to "move" on the track, there is no longer any sense of moving along a time line when you move to an incident. And yet you can still "move" to incidents, it’s just a bit different, there is more of a sense of mocking them up.

But incident running is still an aid to getting your confront up on things and finding and regaining control over old postulates.

But you will find something interesting, which is that the cumulative progression and build up of charge from incident to incident no longer exists.

If you are running sour grapes, you are simply getting your confront up on sour grapes. Whether it is an earlier or a later incident on what was once a chain hardly matters, what matters is raising your confront.

What is happening here is that with each state, more of the mechanics are dropping out and ceasing to matter.

On clear, the force goes out of the pictures and the pc's track ceases to obey external orders.

On clear-OT, the solidity of the track disappears and the cumulative chain effect vanishes.

Sometimes you get exceptions to this, and those are due to a BT. But that stops happening too on the cause over life state. You no longer misown others tracks or mistake BT think for your own.

And yet after all of this there is still aberration and some stimulus response left. Note that you cannot get an instant read on an e-meter without stimulus response.

An ARC break assessment will still instant read even after all of the above states are attained and after other states that I'm not even sure how to name or describe.

The grades material is basic or at least closer to basic than any of the heavier phenomena. Grades material continues to read and run well.

Hope this helps,

The Pilot

Re: The old days - Aboard the Apollo - 1973

The overt/motivator sequence is a 'mechanism'. It blows when it blows. To not acknowledge when a person realizes the HE himself is the only reason WHY for anything on lower levels is to get BPC when pressing for E/S incidents looking to undo a present condition. Incidents cease to be in lockstep as a 'reason' for 'zip' any more. I've talked to a few people who felt 'bypassed' on this and had their agreements anchored back into a supposed timeline.

If you are processing someone you need not adopt a 'stance' (something you know is TRUE) during the session. It may NOT be True for the client. A trained auditor exuding the stable datum that a person is in a lower condition of life because he has harmful acts may inadvertently be keeping his client submerged. To just let what you're doing have whatever affect it's gonna have with a ZERO of attitude might be kinder and get you where you are going.. You could find out the family programmed the client to 'believe' he was undeserving as his very 'existence' was the overt act as far ......as they were concerned.

We too readily overlook the adept 'convincingness' forever employed in making SURE another has an incident where he CANNOT confront what an evil harmful Cause he was. It's a sham. We bank on it. Like our monetary banking system is a sham, contracting debits and credits with bullish tactics. Of course some folks are wylier than others.

There were a lot of inbred assertions in the church scriptures that tended to make those coming from an altitude right and the client 'less so'.

Syria: "Armed group" kills 4 in raid on pro-Assad Ikhbariya TV station
June 27, 2012
by CBNews.com

(CBS/AP) DAMASCUS - Syria's state-run news agency says gunmen have attacked the headquarters of a pro-government TV station, killing four employees.


http://m.cbsnews.com/fullstory.rbml?catid=57461406&feed_id=null&videofeed=null

The station came under attack the morning after Assad was seen on Syrian television addressing his cabinet in Damascus, declaring for the first time that his nation was in a "real state of war."

"When we are in a war, all policies and all sides and all sectors need to be directed at winning this war."

http://m.yahoo.com/w/legobpengine/n..._host_hdr=news.yahoo.com&.intl=US&.lang=en-US

Moscow-based defense think-tank CAST said Russia was expected to deliver nearly half a billion dollars worth of air defense systems, repaired helicopters and fighter jets to Syria this year despite international pressure to halt the arms sales.
