Freud and Eros: Love, Lust and Longing
- 22 October 2014 — 8 March 2015 *on now
A new exhibition, 'Freud and Eros: Love, Lust and Longing', explores Sigmund Freud's revolutionary ideas on love and the libidinal drive with an innovative combination of Freud's own art collection, his writings and letters, together with the response of contemporary artists.
Love remains an ever intriguing and complex emotion. To examine Freud's theories on this topic, key works in his collection will be displayed, including statues of Eros, and other erotic and related deities and objects. Freud's antiquities are usually arranged in his study at the Freud Museum. This exhibition, situated in the upstairs gallery, will give visitors the opportunity to view more closely and in detail these rare and beautiful works.
Freud's theories on Eros, the love force and libido of psychoanalysis, also provide the context for an investigation of Sigmund Freud's personal experiences. Freud and Eros: Love, Lust and Longing' traces his passionate courtship of his future wife Martha Bernays. The couple exchanged literally hundreds of letters during their four year engagement. A selection of their letters reveals a relationship that was both ardent and intellectual. Memorabilia, including family photographs, supplement this intimate aspect of Freud's life.
Eros, the Greek god of love, the winged messenger of desire, is well represented in Freud's stunning collection of around two and a half thousand antiquities. Freud explored the meaning of Eros in his writings, and the exhibition draws out the profound connections between classical Greek culture, the works collected by Freud and the development of psychoanalysis. To Freud, Eros could spark the civilizing force of love that resulted in fulfilling relationships as well as unleashing turbulent, unbridled and destructive emotions.
The complex ideas raised by psychoanalysis are also examined through the eyes of highly regarded contemporary artists. Works include a newly commissioned sculpture by Jodie Carey, plus contributions by Edmund de Waal, Rachel Kneebone and Hannah Collins. These works not only contextualise Freud's collection but also provide and fresh and insightful ways to consider love, lust and longing.

Carl Gustav Jung: avant-garde conservative, texts and contexts
Jay Sherry - talk followed by discussion with Gary Lachman
Carl Gustav Jung has always been a popular but never a fashionable thinker. His ground-breaking theories about dream interpretation and psychological types have often been overshadowed by charges that he was anti-Semitic and a Nazi sympathizer.
In his pioneering work on Carl Gustav Jung, author Jay Sherry took a fresh look at all aspects of his life and work, and considered the allegations against Jung in the broader context of his views on culture, politics, and race. In doing so, he provides a carefully considered, historically informed perspective on a figure whose legacy has been misunderstood by admirers and detractors alike.
'Carl Gustav Jung: Avant-Garde Conservative' by Jay Sherry won the Gradiva Award for Best Book from the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis in 2011
Jay Sherry is an independent historian of psychoanalysis and German intellectual history. He has lectured widely and written for a variety of psychoanalytic publications, primarily about the life and work of Carl Jung. He holds a PhD from the Freie Universität Berlin, and lives in New York.
Gary Lachman is the author of several books linking consciousness, culture, and the western esoteric tradition, including Jung the Mystic: The Esoteric Dimensions of Carl Jung's Life and Teaching (Tarcher/Penguin 2010). Lachman writes frequently for many journals in the US and UK, and lectures on his work in the US, UK, and Europe. His work has been translated into several languages.

Six week evening course
Erotic love – earthy and gross yet transcendent and spiritual, wild yet exclusive, natural yet artificial, spontaneous and conventional. This course examines the Western tradition of erotic love, looking at key philosophers from Plato to the present, and touching on anthropology, literature and neuroscience. In doing so, it examines related ideas about the self, and what it is to be a human, and to be a man or a woman.
The course is led by Jane O'Grady, who co-edited Blackwell's Dictionary of Philosophical Quotations with A. J. Ayer, and writes philosophers' obituaries for the Guardian, and reviews and articles for various papers and journals. She has been a Visiting Lecturer at City University for the last twelve years, and is one of the seven founders of the London School of Philosophy.

Parlour Symbolique
Freud and Eros Late Opening - Performance Art
Parlour Symbolique explores the idea of the house as embodiment the psyche, detached from the domestic sphere and immersed in the symbolic. The event shall highlight the house as mind through an oneiric series of glimpses, whispers, and veiled echoes evoking the fantasies and explorations which have etched themselves invisibly into its walls. Freud's presence and thought sits at the centre of this uncanny tapestry like a camera obscura; reflecting strange echoes of memory which haunt the space. Parlour Symbolique shall present new site-specific works from eleven contemporary live artists that engage with these aspects of the house, its history, and Freud's thinking. Each work shall inhabit a different part of the space, some roaming, some static, providing an extension of the house's unique atmosphere which engages the audience interactively, encouraging new, exciting ways of experiencing the space.
The Parlour Collective is a group of contemporary international artists which produce shows that use the medium of performance to explore the mechanism of historical and psycho-geographical engagement. The site-specific events they create delve into the mythologies of the everyday, and the trail of history which surrounds our experience of space.
The Parlour Collective has produced shows across the world in spaces ranging from antequated operating theatres to small islands. They have exhibited in a wide range of countries including France, England, Norway and Portugal.
This late opening event is part of a wide ranging and imaginative public programme of events, talks, films and performances accompanying the exhibition 'Freud and Eros: Love, Lust and Longing' - 22 October 2014 - 22 February 2015.

SCENT AND SEDUCTION: a cultural history.
An interactive talk by Odette Toilette
In this interactive talk by Odette Toilette (aka Lizzie Ostrom, fragrance specialist), the Freud Museum hosts a guided tour on the history of scent to beguile and seduce. Starting with ancient civilisations and ending with now, how has desire been channeled into our use of aromatics? Looking at emotive nomenclature, ingredients, packaging and advertising history, Odette will invite you to sniff and learn about seminal perfumes, including Elsa Schiaparelli's outragious creation Shocking (1937), Christian Dior's Eau Sauvage from 1966 and Christian Dior's infamous Poison.
Since her first event in 2010, fragrance lover Odette Toilette (aka Lizzie Ostrom) has been changing the way we think about our sense of smell ever since. Her interactive experiences have made learning about perfume fun, encompassing teen scent nostalgia workshops, sniffable history lectures, and scented tours of art galleries. An infectious public speaker Odette has presented at institutions such as The British Museum, The Wellcome Collection, The Natural History Museum, Somerset House, the Museum of London and Tate Britain, and frequently appears in broadcast media as a commentator on the industry. She works with personal care brands on new product development and communications, and is co-founder with Rodd Design of ode, a new venture using fragrance to support people with dementia. Odette is currently writing her first book, A Century of Scent in 100 Perfumes (Hutchinson, 2015).

White Flags: Screening and Discussion
Caroline Rooney and Julia Borossa
Join us for a screening of 'White Flags' (46 minutes), directed by Caroline Rooney and Rita Sakr. Followed by a discussion with Caroline Rooney and Julia Borossa on psychoanalysis, activism, trust-building, memory work and other questions opened up by the film.
Based on extensive fieldwork and research in Lebanon, White Flags is a work based on filmed portraits of individual Lebanese citizens from different backgrounds reflecting on their respective trust-building initiatives.
The documentary explores current issues in Lebanon relating to conflictual post-war memory, ideological and sectarian divisions, socio-economic problems, and peacebuilding initiatives by individuals and organisations who seek to actively intervene in their society and rebuild trust amid the challenges and dangers of ongoing crises. It conceptually and artistically explores the importance of white flags in a country where the national flag has oftentimes had its significance stolen and where the variously coloured flags of embattled political parties have heightened tensions and divisions.
The film features interviews with psychoanalyst Chawki Azouri, journalist Jeanine Jalkh, president of 'Memory for the Future' association Amal Makarem, and artists-activists Raouf Rifai and Aurelien Zouki. It was completed with the participation of cinematographer and second unit director Johnny Hchaime and the production management team at The Media Trust, London. It was funded by Research Councils UK.

Paper with Sacred Signs: The Sigmund Freud - Martha Bernays Correspondence
Michael Molnar
All lovers reinvent love - after their fashion. Sigmund Freud and Martha Bernays were no exception. In over 1,500 love letters from 1882 to 1886 they lavishly documented their long engagement, its joys, tribulations and misunderstandings. Their newly-published correspondence paints an amazingly detailed day-to-day picture of the engaged couple's lives and thoughts. At first sight it seems too much to take in. An encyclopaedic welter of information threatens to overwhelm us. Michael Molnar's talk will blaze some trails through this unknown territory.
Michael Molnar worked at the Freud Museum London from its opening in1986 until 2009, first as researcher/archivist, then as Director. He edited and translated The Diary of Sigmund Freud 1929-39 (Chatto, 1992). His latest publication is Looking through Freud's Photos (Karnac, 2014).

The Real Jouissance of Uncountable Numbers: The Philosophy of Science within Lacanian Psychoanalysis
Raul Moncayo and Magdalena Romanowicz
We are joined this evening by Raul Moncayo and Magdalena Romanowicz, who will discuss their forthcoming publication, 'The Real Jouissance of Uncountable Numbers: The Philosophy of Science within Lacanian Psychoanalysis' (Karnac Books, 2014).
"Ludwig Wittgenstein famously said "To learn from Freud, you have to be critical". Much the same can be said of Jacques Lacan's oeuvre. This wonderful volume provides a rigorous scaffolding to help us penetrate Lacanian density. Using mathematics and clinical experience as a basis, the authors lead us through Lacan's antisystemic tradition. Their efforts enable us to approach one of the most influential French thinkers of the last century. Our efforts will be rewarded by reaching a deeper understanding of how Lacan manages to radically critique reductionism in psychiatry while expanding the non-reductionist revolution of Freud and psychoanalysis" Professor Hans Steiner.

what can exist if there is no one to observe it?
time is not a constant.
space is not a constant.
consciousness is the only constant.
when you look behind you, what's behind you now? sure, there's a partial, entropic construct in your mind, based on your brief visual memory, expectations, experience, and assumptions… but the billions if minute shifts and changes, can you account for those?
we create(d) time to allow for the deliberate experience of the process. when "time flies" it's simply a temporal disconnect, until such "time" you wish to reconnect with the collective, co-created, linear time construct… such as when you look at the clock. are we creating less and less time nowadays?
are we aware of past, long-believed falsehoods, expelled and revealed in the now? can you remember all the things you at one time believed to be real or true?
what if the universe expands at the rate at which our knowledge and understanding of it does? the farther we see, the greater the distance to explore…
we are in a constant, expansive give-and-take (read sharing/co-creating) with our surrounding reality, and the greater collective of co-creators; there can be no end to the universe, because there is no end to us.
i wonder…
love our life,

Thanks to Business Panama for this information on Property Law. They provide legal and business consultancy to foreigners investing in Panama.
www.businesspanama.com for Property Law
It is important to understand the law regarding real estate ownership in the Republic of Panama if you intend to puchase a home, invest in land for reforestation or acquire a beach-front property for development
No matter for what purpose the land or house is being purchased it is important to learn as much as possible regarding the property, including but not limited to limits and boundaries, its encumbrances, registered value, official blueprints, tax burdens and others. For this you need a good lawyer.
There are different ways to obtain property in the Republic of Panama. In this article, we will consider the two most common alternatives found by foreigners looking to invest in land in the Republic of Panama. First, we will review the purchase of a titled property, which is applicable to land duly recorded and titled in the Public Registry. Next, we will examine the purchase of a �Right of Possession� and the implications of the same. This last acquisition methodis common to land located in historically protected areas, such as the tropical paradises of �Bocas del Toro� in the northernmost province of Bocas del Toro and �Portobelo� located in the Province of Colon, in the Atlantic side of the Isthmus.
Persons interested in acquiring titled property must follow these steps in order to successfully undertake and minimize the risk of their transaction.
1. Perform a complete due diligence of the property: This procedure includes a complete title search, review of cadastral maps, verification of tax good standing of the land, verification of good standing in utility bills (water and sewage, electricity, telephone, etc.), as well as verification of any other special characteristic, limitation of the property, liens or encumbrances over the property.
A professional surveyor should perform a physical inspection with the approved blueprints to verify the map points, measurements and boundaries to avoid future land conflicts.
2. Prepare a Promise to Purchase Agreement: This agreement is to secure the property, through a down payment is 10% to 20%, of the total purchase price, generally in order to have enough time to properly execute the due diligence regarding the property, obtain financing and arrange details to complete the transaction. Parties agree on a purchase price, term of the agreement and penalties if one of the parties does not comply with the contract. This agreement shall be duly recorded in the Public Registry in order to affect third parties and to ensure the property is not sold to another person.
3. Prepare a Purchase and Sale Agreement: When the term of the contract is due and the final balance is paid to the seller, it is time to prepare the final sale contract. The seller shall process the Property Transfer Tax and the Capital Gains Tax, obtain a good standing property certificate as well as a good standing water and sewage certificate. The buyer will pay for notaries and registration expenses of this agreement. It is important to include an indemnification clause in the event of hidden defects of the property.
4. Ownership of the real estate property: Once the public deed containing such an annotation is duly registered, title transfer has been completed. Generally, payment is not delivered to the owner until the proper transfer of ownership is undertaken, while in others, the parties agree to appointing an escrow agent (lawyer or banker) who receives the funds under an escrow agreement which states that payment will be made immediately upon presentation of the deed of transfer of ownership of the property, duly recorded at the Public Registry Office.
These types of investments are the ones that benefit the most from the purchase of title insurance, which is very traditional and popular in the United States of America. Title insurance has been well received in Panama since it provides assurance of the investment on both the land and the improvements to be made on the same. General Panamanian property law allows for both nationals and foreigners to purchase titled property in Panama.
Persons interested in investing in projects located within these restricted areas should be very careful to ensure that the award of the �possession rights� or �limited ownership� have been duly granted by the National Agrarian Reform or the Cadastral Office.
1. Title granted by the Agrarian Reform �In the Republic of Panama, since the enactment of the Agrarian Code (property law) in 1962, the only authorized authority enable to award �possession rights� or �limited ownership� over agricultural or cattle lands is the National Agrarian Reform of the Ministry of Agriculture. This Code restricts the national and local municipal government authorities to grant �possession rights� or �limited ownership�. In this sense, it is important to verify the following aspects before investing in this type of real estate:
1. That the award of the piece of land is issued by Agrarian Reform of the Ministry of Agriculture.
2. That the award contains a complete description, including area, limits, boundaries, encumbrances, and other important details of the land. A complete blueprint shall be drawn and approved.
3. That the activity to be undertaken by the purchaser is allowed, that is, that the construction or building to be made is acceptable to the national or local municipal government.
4. That the award be extensive for a period of time suitable for the purchaser.
5. That the award, does not consist in properties restricted by the Agrarian Code (Art. 27). Due to the lack of uniformity regarding the granting entity for �possession rights� it is of utmost importance to review each purchase individually and make recommendations specifically for each land option.
The length of the transaction process for the possession rights transfer will vary and can take up to 2 years, depending on many factors, such as the date of recognition of the possession rights, inspection by the granting entity, among others.
NB. Many land developers in these special areas have undertaken the task of procuring the right of possession title documents and transfer the ownership of the same by means of the sale under a Panamanian corporation and its assets. Special caution should be taken with these transactions asthe corporation could have undertaken other businesses besides that related to the property and there is no official registry of the commercial undertakings of the same.
2. Title granted by the Cadastral Office of the Ministry of the Economy - Due to the fact that most land subject to �rights of possession� are located within islands and beachfront property, such as Bocas del Toro, Chiriqui, Portobelo, Veraguas, the government enacted Law No.2 of 2006, whereby administrative concessions and the purchase of islands and coastal territories for tourist investment purposes are regulated through the Ministry of the Economy and theCadastral Office. This law gives security to foreigners and national investors, because it has extended concession periods from 40, 60 and 90 years, depending on the amount of the investment and also grants the option purchase an island and coastal territories with some restrictions. Also this law will honor previously awarded rights of possession, granted before the start of this law.
Purchase of a property by means of the acquisition of a Panamanian corporation which already owns the land is an alternative that may be considered by investors interested in purchasing land, provided that a full due diligence is made on the corporation and the seller makes substantialrepresentations assuming full responsibility for the corporation's previous activities.
If you decide to procure a corporation that owns a property as its only asset, according to Property Law No. 18 of June 2006, the buyer must retain 5% from the total share sale price and report this to the General Income Directorate as an advance of capital gains tax. Other methods for the transfer of property are donations or legacies, which follow a completely different procedure, and most likely will not be an alternative for foreign investors looking to invest and/or retire in Panama.
1. Perform a complete due diligence of the property, including a complete title search, review of cadastral surveys, verification of good standing tax of the land, verification of good standing on utility bills (water and sewage, electricity, telephone, etc.), as well as verification of any other special characteristic of the property.
2. Enter into a Promise to Purchase Agreement in order to have enough time to properly execute the due diligence regarding the property and corporation. For titled properties, this agreement shall be duly recorded in the Public Registry in order to affect third parties.
3. Enter into a Purchase and Sale Agreement. It is important to include an indemnification clause in the event of hidden defects of the property. Payment should not be made to owner/seller until the proper transfer of ownership or �possession right� is undertaken or when title property is duly transferred into buyers name, for this matter we recommend to use a letter of promise of payment through a local bank.
4. Consider title insurance over the property for the totality of the sum invested. This will ultimately guarantee your investment.
Given the complexity of making a purchase we strongly advise to seek the services of a company specialised in property law.

Background and activities
Multilayered processes and encounters are basic focus in my praxis whether I work in educational, therapeutic or artistic contexts. As practitioner-researcher I am interested in the performative human body as creative agent in and as part of the world. For many years I worked as a stage director before I trained as a dramatherapist. My teaching encompasses theatre production, dramaturgy, educational and therapeutic drama and theatre in multiple contexts.
My research interest is mainly practice-based and basic research exploring methods and onto-epistemic dilemmas in arts' practice. I am part of the focus area Arts based Research and contribute to defining the practical-theoretical profile in Drama and Theatre Studies at NTNU. One of my research interest is voice work that has been developed since 2009 with the project The Role of the Voice with co-researcher David Keir Wright. This work is informed by my own teacher training certification in Fitzmaurice Voicework 2013-2014 at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London. As practitioner-researcher I am involved in several international net-works exploring health-promoting artistic praxis through my qualification as dramatherapist, Sesame Institute UK and International and The British Association of Dramatherapists. from 2014 I am also part of the NTNU health focus area HEVET and developing further healthpromoting arts practice, such as drama and movement therapy.
International project: Staging Myself
This project initiated in 2010 is a collaboration between Hochschule für Musik und Theater Rostock, Kunsthochschule für Bildende Künste Braunschweig and NTNU. The project investigates transcultural drama research as embodied practice of democracy. A practice-based laboratory with lectureres/researchers and students was organized in 2012 that was presented as a multimedial paper-performance-event in Paris 2013 at the IDEA congress, International Drama and Theatre in Education Association. From 2014 the project will be part of the national research project on Drama and Democracy with particular focus on transculturalism and empathy.

Darjeeling Himalayan Railway
West Bengal, India
Nicknamed the "Toy Train", the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow-gauge railway in the Indian state of West Bengal. Built between 1879 and 1881, the train starts at about 100 m (328 ft) elevation at Siliguri and ascends to about 2,200 m (7,218 ft) at Darjeeling on the slopes of the Himalayas only 86 km (53 mi) away. It is still powered by a steam engine (a modern diesel engine is used for Darjeeling's mail). The train has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. Wikipedia also has an excellent article on this railway. If you like your Darjeeling tea, this is the place it comes from!

I am adding a new feature to my website and it is just a series of light hearted interviews with a lot of people I respect. Look for a couple of week. I will be collecting them all in a central location in the next day or so but will be posting them here as well. The first interview that I got back is with Gloria Reimer. I worked with Gloria for a couple of years at Lakeview Church and Gloria and her husband Jerry are Mark's godparents. Gloria is terrified of bees, yells at me a lot in anger, appears to have understated her age in this interview, and has been known to give away books I have leant to her to other people as gifts. Gloria and her husband Jerry live in Saskatoon and Gloria blogs at www.gloriareimer.com.
What's your age and occupation. How long have you lived here, where did you come from, and where do you live now?
I am over 35 and am the Pastor of Ministry Facilitation at Lakeview Church in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Our family has lived here in Saskatoon since September 1990 when we were transferred from Brandon, Manitoba.
You work at a large church working at empowering the laity in ministry. What's the largest obstacle in keeping people out of ministry? How do you get around that?
Empowering the laity to serve is my passion. One of the obstacles to serving is people are not sure how they are wired to serve and need assistance in finding out their Spiritual Gifts and exactly where they want to serve. Other tools like discovering your personality, abilities and looking at your life's experiences are of value as well. Another obstacle that we all struggle with is the time element. People are just too busy in their lives to fit anything more in. However, my greatest passion is to give people freedom to be ministers exactly where they are planted whether in their homes, businesses, workplaces, gym, neighbourhoods, professions, knowing that first and foremost we are Ministers for Christ and everything falls in behind that. That makes me excited! Free to serve anywhere!
Thursday night at 8:00 p.m., where are the Reimers and what are you doing?
Thursday nights in the Reimer household is Small Group Night. We have a group of about 10 to 12 people who meet weekly to connect, share life together, eat, laugh, study Scripture, pray and look at how we can help each move along in our spiritual journeys.
What's the best part about living in Saskatoon? Do you miss anything about Manitoba?
The best part of living in Saskatoon is the people. That was one of the first things we noticed when we moved here was how friendly and helpful the people were. It has not changed. We have many wonderful friends in Saskatoon.
The part I miss most about Manitoba is that I grew up in southern Manitoba where the summers are hot and humid. I loved the heat and the wonderful growing weather we had there. Great people in Manitoba as well. All our family originated in southern Manitoba
What's the best book you have read in the last year? What made it good?
I just finished reading Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott. I loved the book. Her style of writing is so original and honest. I laughed and I cried. There were also some profound truths in the book which I copied into my " quote" book. Great book A very freeing book to read!
Is there any chance I will get back any of the books I have leant you over the years?
Jordon, of course you will get your books back. I have a special place where I keep all the books you lend me. It is becoming quite a nice resource library!! [editor: in other words I have no hope at all]
What was the weirdest thing you ate while in Asia? (if you answer dog, I am never talking to you and Jerry again)
I am not adventuresome when it comes to trying new foods, but Jerry tried pretty well everything. Having a completely cooked frog put on the table in front of you was something I did not handle well. Of course Jerry ate it and thought it was just fine!
Most annoying thing about living in Saskatoon?
The -40C weather in the winter and the mosquitoes in the summer!
How many cups of coffee do you drink a day?
I am down to 1 cup a day. I went off coffee for Lent and am now trying to discipline myself to 1 cup a day. [Ed: I can't see that lasting]
When you look at the western church, what is one thing you think we have gotten wrong and do you think it is possible to change it?
We have created out own "church" culture where we are totally insulated from the real world and never touch the world outside of the church. We have our own rules, movies, books, bookstores, movies, videos, schools, baseball leagues, and the list goes on. It is sad to see how little we as Christ followers make a difference in the "real" world. We are too busy going to all our own activities. Is it possible to change? The only way it will change is if we quit living "safe" and be willing to risk living outside of our comfort zone. There are small pockets of Christ followers who are moving in this direction. However, overall I believe the church is too complacent and comfortable to change the culture they have created for themselves.
Who is your choice for the greatest Canadian contest (other than the obvious pick, Brian Mulroney)
Kim Campbell!! Why? Because she was the first female prime minister of Canada!!! Wayne Gretzky for all you hockey fans out there!!! All kidding aside, I haven't given it much thought up to this point. Ask me next week!

Libyan opposition leaders must deal with the case of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the only person convicted over the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, has said.
In a meeting with senior members of Libya's National Transitional Council in Paris on Thursday, Clinton said the US would be watching closely how the case was handled.
Clinton's comments came amid growing calls from US politicians and leading Republican presidential candidates for al-Megrahi's return to prison or even extradition.
Al-Megrahi, who is suffering from prostate cancer, was released on compassionate grounds two years ago, after serving eight years of a life sentence in Scotland for the passenger jet bombing that killed 270 people, many of them US citizens.
Doctors had said he would die of cancer within three months.
"The United States categorically disagrees with the decision that was made two years ago by the Scottish executive to release al-Megrahi and return him to Libya," Clinton told reporters.
"We have never wavered from our disagreement and condemnation of that decision. He should be behind bars."
Hero's welcome
In her meetings, Clinton made clear to Libyan opposition leaders Mustafa Abdul-Jalil and Mahmoud Jibril that the US believed al-Megrahi should never have been freed.
His return to a hero's welcome in Muammar Gaddafi's Libya remains problematic, US officials said.
Clinton said the US also was seeking the Libyan interim government's assistance for more information about possible accomplices in the planning or execution of the bombing in December 1988.
Al-Megrahi, a staunch Gaddafi supporter, is now reported to be near death at his home in Tripoli, the Libyan capital.
The NTC says it will not deport him even though Chuck Schumer, a US senator, has asked Clinton to make the release of billions of dollars in frozen assets from the Gaddafi government contingent on al-Megrahi's return to jail.
The US state department said on Wednesday that Clinton would press the opposition on the case, but would not link it to the assets, given the immediate priorities such as securing and stabilising Libya.

Autopsies delay charges in triple homicide
CANON CITY — Due to the magnitude of the work involved, autopsies on three homicide victims are taking much longer than anticipated.
According to Fremont County Coroner Carlette Brocious, El Paso County coroner officials started work on the autopsies of murder victims Mason, 5, Marissa, 9, and their mother, Mandy Folsom, 35, at 8 a.m. Wednesday and by 4 p.m. still had not completed work on the first of the three victims.
"It is going to take longer than I thought. We may not have anything (in terms of cause of death) until Monday," Brocious said.
Homicide suspect Jaacob Van Winkle, 31, who was living in the home as a friend of Mandy Folsom, is accused of killing all three. The victims were found dead Sunday evening at the family home at 1113 Phay Ave.
Charges won't be filed against Van Winkle until next week because District Attorney Thom LeDoux is awaiting autopsy results.
Van Winkle also is accused of raping Folsom's teenage daughter. The daughter, whose name will not be released, was able to get away from her attacker and make her way to a neighbor's house where a 911 call was placed.

At least one US contractor and 10 Taliban fighters have been killed in an assault on Bagram air base in Afghanistan, Nato says.Nine Nato troops were wounded in the attack on Wednesday, which included rockets, small arms and grenades, Nato's International Security Assistance Force, or Isaf, said.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying 20 suicide bombers took part in the assault, which began overnight."We're always prepared to deal with attacks on our base, the response this morning was immediate," Lieutenant-Colonel Clarence Counts, a spokesman for the Bagram base, said after the fighting, which continued for hours.
'Brazen' attackBagram, which is near Kabul, the capital, is one of the biggest military bases in Afghanistan and mainly holds US troops as well as a detention centre where al-Qaeda-linked fighters and "terror" suspects are held.
Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdel-Hamid, reporting from Bagram, described the attack as "quite brazen and daring".She said the attack started "about 3am when US guards at Bagram spotted a car and started shooting at it".
"That's when this long gun battle that lasted for about eight hours happened.
"It was very intense [the battle] between 3am and until about daylight.
"[A] Taliban spokesman said that the attackers detonated themselves in front of the main gate and managed to enter the airfield.
"But that is something Nato completely refutes. They do say that rocket and mortars have landed inside the base. Nine soldiers have been wounded [and] none, according to Nato, is in critical condition."Helicopter gunships hovered about the base as the attack went on.Spring offensive
Wednesday's assault follows the Taliban's announcement that they would launch a spring offensiveagainst the Afghan government and foreign forces in Afghanistan in response to Nato's plans for a military campaign on the group's southern stronghold of Kandahar.On Tuesday, a suicide car bomber attacked a Nato-led military convoy during rush hour in Kabul,killing at least 18 people and six foreign troops. Five of the troops were Americans and one was Canadian.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for Tuesday's blast, one of the deadliest attacks in Kabul in months.
So far this year, 202 Nato soldiers have died, marking January to mid-May period in the Afghan war the deadliest. At least 520 Nato troops died in 2009, the deadliest year so far for US-led foreign troops since the 2001 US-led invasion brought down the Taliban regime. Since summer 2009, one or two Nato soldiers have died on average each day.

The report from RealtyTrac last week proves beyond the shadow of a doubt the supposed housing market recovery is a complete and utter fraud. The corporate mainstream media did their usual spin job on the report by focusing on the fact foreclosure starts in 2013 were the lowest since 2007. Focusing on this meaningless fact (because the Too Big To Trust Wall Street Criminal Banks have delayed foreclosure starts as part of their conspiracy to keep prices rising) is supposed to convince the willfully ignorant masses the housing market is back to normal. It's always the best time to buy!!!
The talking heads reading their teleprompter propaganda machines failed to mention that distressed sales (short sales & foreclosure sales) rose to a three year high of 16.2% of all U.S. residential sales, up from 14.5% in 2012. The economy has been supposedly advancing for over four years and sales of distressed homes are at 16.2% and rising. The bubble headed bimbos on CNBC don't find it worthwhile to mention that prior to 2007 the normal percentage of distressed home sales was less than 3%. Yeah, we're back to normal alright. We are five years into a supposed economic recovery and distressed home sales account for 1 out of 6 all home sales and is still 500% higher than normal.
The distressed sales aren't even close to the biggest distortion of this housing market. The RealtyTrac report reveals that all-cash purchases accounted for 42% of all U.S. residential sales in December, up from 38% in November, and up from 18% in December 2012. Does that sound like a trend of normalization? There were five states where all-cash transactions accounted for more than 50% of sales in December – Florida (62.5%), Wisconsin (59.8%), Alabama (55.7%), South Carolina (51.3%), and Georgia (51.3%). In the pre-crisis days before 2008, all-cash sales NEVER accounted for more than 10% of all home sales. NEVER. This is all being driven by hot Wall Street money, aided and abetted by Bernanke, Yellen and the rest of the Fed fiat heroine dealers.
The fact that Wall Street is running this housing show is borne out by mortgage applications languishing at 1997 levels, down 65% from the 2005 highs. Real people in the real world need a mortgage to buy a house. If mortgage applications are near 16 year lows, how could home prices be ascending as if there is a frenzy of demand? Besides enriching the financial class, the contrived elevation of home prices and the QE induced mortgage rate increase has driven housing affordability into the ground. First time home buyers account for a record low percentage of 27%. In a normal non-manipulated market, first time home buyers account for 40% of home purchases.
Price increases that rival the peak insanity of 2005 have been manufactured by Wall Street shysters and the Federal Reserve commissars. Doctor Housing Bubble sums up the absurdity of this housing market quite well.
The all-cash segment of buyers has typically been a tiny portion of the overall sales pool. The fact that so many sales are occurring off the typical radar suggests that the Fed's easy money eco-system has created a ravenous hunger with investors to buy up real estate. Why? The rentier class is chasing yields in every nook and cranny of the economy. This helps to explain why we have such a twisted system where home ownership is declining yet prices are soaring. What do we expect when nearly half of sales are going to investors? The all-cash locusts flood is still ravaging the housing market.
The Case-Shiller Index has shown price surges over the last two years that exceed the Fed induced bubble years of 2001 through 2006. Does that make sense, when new homes sales are at levels seen during recessions over the last 50 years, and down 70% from the 2005 highs? Even with this Fed/Wall Street induced levitation, existing home sales are at 1999 levels and down 30% from the 2005 highs. So how and why have national home prices skyrocketed by 14% in 2013 after a 9% rise in 2012? Why are the former bubble markets of Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Phoenix seeing 17% to 27% one year price increases? How could the bankrupt paradise of Detroit see a 17.3% increase in prices in one year? In a normal free market where individuals buy houses from other individuals, this does not happen. Over the long term, home prices rise at the rate of inflation. According to the government drones at the BLS, inflation has risen by 3.6% over the last two years. Looks like we have a slight disconnect.

Protesters Push for Resignation of Morehouse Parish Superintendent of Schools
1:40 minutes (3.06 MB) Download
A school board committee meeting in Bastrop on Thursday night drew half-a-dozen protesters demanding the resignation of Morehouse Parish Superintendent of schools, Tom Thrower.
Members of a civil rights organization allege Thrower is responsible for inadequate educational progress in the district, unfair treatment of African American students and failure to promote African American employees.
Despite the small turnout, the National Action Network says it will turn up the heat on the superintendent.
Protesters Demand the Ouster of Tom Thrower
Board member Robert Fenceroy appealed three times for a vote to remove Thrower.
Fenceroy ultimately introduced a motion to remove the superintendent, but couldn't get another board member to second it.
State director for the National Action Network, Clifton Lemelle, says that although Thrower's contract expires in June, the superintendent needs to resign.
"We feel that there should be more African-Americans hired in a predominantly black school district. And this hasn't happened. And, so therefore tonight, what we're looking for that the superintendent would adhere to the wishes of the community, which we represent, to step down for the betterment of education in Morehouse Parish."
The superintendent did not acknowledge the protesters. Thrower also refused to speak to KEDM.
Protester Shonda Lollie has three children in Morehouse Parish schools. She says she's been frustrated in her attempts to communicate with the superintendent.
"I tried to go and volunteer my time in the classroom and assist the teacher, and also see what kind of environment my child is in each day. I was not allowed to go into the classroom at all. And I went to the superintendent's office – his secretary said he was not in, and I asked her to have him please call. And I haven't heard from him since. And it's been about a month."
The National Action Network says its next steps may include mobilizing membership from its branches across the country.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Good, but not Great
Be Merry Rectangle Invitations I wish this design had more to it - it's a really simple design. I wanted a Typography-type invitation on short notice and we decided on this one. The value and pricing are GREAT! I love how you can add your Wedding Colors to make it a little more personal and change out the verbage - Just wish it was a little more unique. I feel like I could have made this on my computer myself.
Great invitations
Mustache You to Wed Rectangle Invitations Ordering was easy and even better with the discount code we found in a postcard sent to our house. Proofing was done before checkout and the invitations were delivered in a very sturdy box with all the cardstock neatly packaged. Definitely will use Magnet Street for our wedding programs and welcome packages for our guests. maybe even the table numbers!
absolutely the best!!!
Be Merry Rectangle Invitations I am so happy I chose Magnetstreet to do my invites and my save the dates!!! They came out even more beautifully then I had ever imagined!! I would highly recommend this site to any person doing invites of any kind. I couldn't be any more satisfied!!! Thank you!!!
Bold Whispers Rectangle Invitations I loved my save the dates and now got my invitations! I love them! I love that you can change them around to your colors, photos and text. I wish you could add extra text boxes or change sizing on the text box, but other than that this was great!
Loved it!
Watercolor Ombre Rectangle Invitations I loved that I was really able to customize all of the colors that I wanted. Production did take a little longer than I wanted, but I guess that is because I ordered right before Christmas and with the holidays, things were a little slower. Also, not sure why I received so many extra of my invites, but I won't complain about that! They turned out beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Great quality! Loved the packaging they came in too! I will be ordering my menu and thank you cards from here too.

Count Ryan Benhardus among the courageous few.
He was a relatively early arrival during move-in day Thursday at the Minnesota State Mankato campus. By 10:30 a.m., he was beginning to lug his belongings into Gage Residence Hall, well ahead of many of the 3,000 or so students expected to do the same.
But unlike the vast majority of his fellow first-year classmates, Benhardus chose to move in the hard way: alone and sans elevator.
The Jorstads opted for a more conventional move-in method, shuffling Nick's belongings into the Julia Sears Residence Hall with a wheeled cart. The first-year student from Maple Grove will live on the second floor and said he's planning to study biology.
After a year off from school, Nick Jorstad said he was excited to return; his dad, Dave, said he was anxious to let him.
To welcome students to campus, a smattering of activities are scheduled through the weekend with classes beginning Monday.
Minnesota State Mankato officials estimated that more than 4,000 vehicles accompanied the first-year students on move-in day and hundreds of student volunteers were on-hand to direct traffic, help unpack cars and answer questions.
The university expects enrollment for 2011-12 to top 15,000, although the final tally won't be official until September. If that's the case, it would represent one of the largest enrollment totals since the 1990s (Minnesota State Mankato set the all-time high with 16,526 in 1990).

Don't Be Afraid of Your Photo on Twitter
Why Your Photo on Twitter is Important
Don't be afraid of using your photo on your Twitter profile. The first few years I was on Twitter I was afraid to. I had an icon. I started reading that Twitter prof3iles with photos worked better. One day I debated it in my head, then on Twitter and a great tweeter told me I would get more followers if I did. It's been about 2 months and he was right – I gained a lot more followers.
Get Your Photo Taken
They say "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words". So don't be shy and have your photo on your Twitter profile and see if it increases your following and interactions there. People like to connect with real people. And being on Twitter or any social media site is all about engagement and making connections. If you are a little known brand with a logo it will take more time to connect. It can happen, it will just take a little longer. If they know YOU first as yourself and then you start your brand profile it will be much easier to promote it. Of course it's much easier if you are a big brand like Coke, Chevy, McDonalds, etc.
I'd love to know your thoughts of where and when you do or do not use your photo on social profiles.
Have You Checked In With Foursquare?
Foursquare Check In
Have you checked in with Foursquare yet? Foursquare has been around since 2009 and I held out until this week. It was better than I anticipated.
I had held out because I thought "Do I really want everyone to know where I am?" You get to choose your friends on Foursquare – I started with some friends from Twitter. I did a few check in's mostly at restaurants that I visited. You can do as much or as little as you want. What I liked was it generated more Twitter conversations. That came as a surprise to me. The more friends you add the more conversations will happen on Twitter. You can also message friends on Foursquare itself. Using Foursquare on my Android is very easy and should be the same for iPhone users.
Here are some things you can do on Foursquare:
- Give a Tip of the business – A tip on Foursquare is a review.
- Become a Mayor – It's based on the days you check in to a place over 60 days – whoever has the most becomes mayor. Businesses may offer you specials as the mayor. (You also have to have your photo uploaded to become a mayor.)
- Follow Friends and only accept who you want to follow you<.
- Give a Shout – Let friends know about the place you checked in to, like "it's crowded", "with great friends", "awesome food", etc.
- Find Specials – See which businesses are offering specials in your area.
- Share your check in's on Facebook and Twitter if you want.
- Emergencies – Remember hearing about people in the rubble after an earthquake being found from Twitter? I think Foursquare would be good in these situations – especially if you share location on Facebook and Twitter, family or friends would know your location.
If you are not on Foursquare what are you waiting for? If you are can you offer more tips here?
8 Ways to Stay Focused During Weather Events
Stay Focused During Weather Events
Stay focused as bad weather approaches is not always an easy thing to do. Today I had a lot of things to accomplish but the weather forecast changed my focus. It really should not have, there is nothing I can do about it. All I can do is make sure are enough groceries, charge up the cell phone, laptop and keep laundry up to date. There goes the list! If you prepare more for the future there is less chance you will lose your focus.
Here are 8 ways to keep you focused:
1. Make a list – having things to check off surely helps keep the focus on your tasks
2. Do not look at other things like Facebook, emails, Twitter, etc while working on the list (Though today I had to check phone for my son is on his journey across country).
3. If it's a long list make sure to take a break – walk away and get refreshed.
4. Eat and drink properly – this one is hard for me at times (Would love a food pill – quick and easy).
5. Start with the hardest thing on the list – if it's last you may never accomplish it.
6. Take a day off from having a list – otherwise you may get burned out.
7. Make sure there is something enjoyable on your list – makes it easier to get through the hard things first – having something to look forward to.
8. Leave room for the unexpected – weather, accidents, health issues of yourself or close family members and the fact that things tend to take longer than you anticipate. Life always happens, just be prepared!
Help Me Decide Today Which To Choose
Help Me Decide
In trying to keep it light today for Friday I am asking YOUR help to make a few decisions. Some days more than others we can all use a little help when making a decision, whether the decision is small or large.
Which Would You Choose? Help Me Decide!
- Hootsuite or Tweetdeck? I see many people using them and liking them but I haven't done either because I cannot decide which to choose. (Since I first posted this, I have used both but neither are perfect for me yet).
- TextLinks.com – Anyone use? Got a FREE offer. Is it a "give it a try or it's not worth the time?"
- Article Writing – Is it as valuable as it once was? And if it is – which service to use? Now in 2013 SEO, It is a NO!
- Integrate Google+ with Blogger? What's the benefit and difference? Has anyone done it yet?
- Spending time on social media – which would you choose Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or Pinterest?
- Can you help me decide Scoop.it or Blog Engage? I use both but which would you use the MOST?
- Tumbler – Keep the free theme or go with a premium theme?
- Posting – Writing more guest posts or your own posts?
- And a fashion question. Which clogs should I purchase next? The fancy pink floral or the patriotic clogs in red, white and blue?
Fancy Floral with extreme comfort
or the patriotic fancy ones below with a higher heel?

Staying in Touch from Far Away
Staying in Touch from Afar
My eldest son will be moving far away across the country tomorrow. He just turned 22 and is moving for a better job opportunity and a better standard of living. Thank God for the technology now available so we can keep in touch quickly and easily. I'm proud and happy for him but with a little sadness that he's not just a few minutes drive away.
Years ago you only had about 4 choices to stay in touch with those far away:
- Telephone – Long distance was costly.
- Writing letters – Sending through the mail.
- Airplane – Very expensive.
- Long car, bus or train ride.
Today's choices of staying in touch are bit more cheaper, quicker and almost endless:
- Skype – Talking over the computer via webcam, almost like being there and FREE.
- Email – Keeping up daily quickly.
- Texting – His favorite method.
- Airplane – Not so expensive as it once was.
- Social Networks – Great for sharing photos.
I once saw Harry Chapin in concert and this song sticks in my mind since I knew he was moving (as it makes me cry) and hope it doesn't turn that way though I suppose it could even if he lived close by.
