LE BEAU FAIT DU BIEN
Après un passage par les salles d’art contemporain des musées d’Occident, nombreuses sont les personnes qui éprouvent un véritable soulagement, et disent leur plaisir, leur sentiment de bonheur, de plénitude en revenant à l’art ancien ou à l’art moderne (1850-1950), bref aux Beaux Arts.
Un philosophe anglais actuel, Roger Scruton (Youtube) ose rappeler que le Beau est important pour l’homme.
Effectivement le Beau fait du Bien. Il n’est pas question ici de haute philosophie ni de s’interroger sur les relations, correspondances et différences entre le Beau et le Bien, le Laid et le Mal, mais d’un constat d’expérience et d’une proposition de bon sens.
C’est un fait, le Beau fait du Bien, et c’est la raison pour laquelle il faut s’inquiéter, et ne pas hésiter à protester contre un art contemporain qui impose le Laid comme critère de ses choix.
Il ne faut pas se laisser intimider par le totalitarisme d’une conception de l’art qui fait du mal à la majorité d’une population. 70% puisque les statistiques montrent que c’est le pourcentage de la population, en tout cas française, qui se désintéresse de l’art contemporain.
Il faut s’inquiéter de l’existence et de la légitimité d’une élite qui impose aux peuples d’Occident des laideurs, prône et adore sur ses modernes autels dressés dans des salles d’art contemporain immenses comme des cathédrales, ce Laid qui nous veut du mal.
Remplacer la religion du Beau par celle du Laid n’est pas innocent, c’est un projet pervers.
Et quand ce projet ajoute encore à sa nocivité le Non-Sens et l’Absurdité il faut oser dire non, cela suffit, c’est une violation de nos consciences et une atteinte à notre conception de la vie et tout simplement à notre environnement.
Ce choix des élites a des effets pervers, non seulement sur les visiteurs des musées, mais aussi ailleurs que dans nos espaces d’art contemporain, par l’exemple qu’il propose aux peuples en justifiant le laid et le non sens. Par contagion.
C’est un fait que l’art des rues, populaire et spontané, est généralement plus divers, plus imaginatif, plus beau et plus porteur de sens que l’art élitiste, officiel et dirigé des musées d’arts contemporains.
Mais c’est aussi un fait que les rues de nos villes et nos grandes voies de circulation sont le lieu d’expression d’un vandalisme du beau et du sens, d’une volonté de provocation et d’un mépris flagrant des autres. Le Non-art n’existe pas que dans les musées d’art contemporain, il est aussi très présent dans nos rues et parfaitement toléré et même encouragé dans certains quartiers. Pas les "beaux quartiers" bien sûr, qui sont protégés. Ce non-art des rues emprunte beaucoup à l’exemple donné par le non-art des élites.
Le poisson commence de pourrir par la tête, mais le poisson finit par pourrir tout entier.
THE BEAUTIFUL FACT OF GOOD
After a passage through the contemporary art galleries of the museums of the Occident, many people are experiencing real relief, and say their pleasure, their feeling of happiness, plenitude by returning to ancient art or to Modern Art (1850-1950), in brief at the Fine Arts.
A current English philosopher, Roger Scruton (Youtube) dares to recall that the Beautiful is important for humans.
Indeed the Beautiful makes good. The point is not highly philosophical. It is not a question of interrogate the relations, correspondences and differences between the Beautiful and the Good, the Ugly and the Evil, but to note and recall a fact of experience and a proposition of common sense.
It is a fact, the beautiful makes us feel good, and this is the reason why one has to worry and not hesitate to protest against a contemporary art which imposes the ugly as criterion of its choices.
One should not be intimidated by the totalitarianism of a conception of art which hurts the majority of a population. 70% since the statistics show that it is the percentage of the population, in any case French, that is not interested in contemporary art.
We must worry about the existence and the legitimacy of an elite that imposes upon the peoples of the West the ugliness, preaches and adores on its modern altars erected in contemporary art rooms vast like cathedrals, this ugly one who wants us of evil.
Replace the religion of the Beautiful with that of the ugly is not innocent, it is a perverse project.
And when this project adds to its harmfulness the Non-Sense and the Absurdity, one must dare to say no, it is enough, it is a violation of our consciences and an attack on our conception of the life and simply to our environment.
This choice of elites has perverse effects, not only on visitors to museums, but also elsewhere than in our contemporary art spaces, by the example he proposes to the people by justifying the ugly and nonsense. By contagion
It is a fact that the art of the streets, popular and spontaneous, is generally more diverse, more imaginative, more beautiful and more meaningful than the elitist, official and directed art of contemporary art museums.
But it is also a fact that the streets of our cities and our great roads are the place of expression of a vandalism of beauty and meaning, a will to provoke and a blatant disregard for others. Non-art does not exist only in museums of contemporary art, it is also very present in our streets and perfectly tolerated and even encouraged in certain neighborhoods. Not the "uptown" of course, which are protected. This non-art of the street art borrows much from the example given by the non-art of the elites.
The fish begin to rot by the head, but the fish ends up rotting whole.
Noah “Bud” Ogle Place – House (view B)
Image by SeeMidTN.com (aka Brent)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_Ogle_Place
The Noah "Bud" Ogle Place was a homestead located in the Great Smoky Mountains of Sevier County, TN. The homestead presently consists of a cabin, barn, and tub mill built by mountain farmer Noah "Bud" Ogle (1863–1913) in the late 19th century. In 1977, the homestead was added to the National Register of Historic Places and is currently maintained by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The surviving structures at the Noah Ogle Place are characteristic of a typical 19th-century Southern Appalachian mountain farm. Ogle’s cabin is a type known as a "saddlebag" cabin (two single-pen cabins joined by a common chimney), which was a relatively rare design in the region. Ogle’s barn is an excellent example of a four-pen barn, a design once common in the area, although this barn is the last remaining four-pen barn in the park. Ogle’s tub mill is the park’s last surviving operational tub mill and one of the few operational tub mills in the region. A later owner of the Ogle farm renamed the farm "Junglebrook," and the farm is thus sometimes referred to as the "Junglebrook Historic District."
The Noah Ogle Place is situated near LeConte Creek (formerly known as Mill Creek) in the upper drainage of the West Fork of the Little Pigeon River. Gatlinburg lies opposite the park boundary to the north, Roaring Fork lies opposite the hills to the east, the Sugarlands lies opposite the hills to the west, and Mount Le Conte rises to the south. Cherokee Orchard Road (still occasionally referred to as Airport Road) connects the Noah Ogle Place to U.S. Route 441 in downtown Gatlinburg to the north and to the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail to the south. The site’s tub mill is situated on the banks of LeConte Creek, approximately 0.5 miles from the cabin and barn.
Noah Ogle’s great-grandparents, William Ogle (1756–1803) and his wife Martha Huskey (1756–1826), were the first Euro-American settlers in the Gatlinburg area, arriving in the early 19th century (their cabin still stands in downtown Gatlinburg). The Ogles’ descendants quickly spread out into the adjacent river and creek valleys. Noah Ogle’s farm originally consisted of 400 acres, although by the early 20th century he had subdivided his land among his children, and retained only 150 acres. These last 150 acres comprise the bulk of the Bud Ogle Farm historic district.
Ogle’s cabin and outbuildings were built in the late 1880s and early 1890s. The land was poor and rocky (the National Park Service later claimed it was "unsuitable" for farming), and Ogle mostly grew corn. The land did include a sizeable apple orchard which grew multiple types of apples. Ogle’s relatives were allowed free use of his tub mill, while others were charged a small percentage of meal. Excess corn and apples were shipped to markets in Knoxville. Ogle’s wife, Lucinda Bradley Ogle, was a local midwife.
In the 1920s, several investors established a 796-acre (322 ha) commercial apple orchard and ornamental nursery known as "Cherokee Orchard" just south of the Ogle homestead. When the Tennessee Park Commission began buying up property for the creation of the national park in the late 1920s, the owners of Cherokee Orchard threatened to fight a major appropriations for bill for the park’s funding if their land was condemned. The orchard’s owners dropped their opposition in 1931 in exchange for a long lease on the property.
Noah Ogle cabin
The Noah Ogle cabin consists of two cabins sharing a single chimney, known as a "saddlebag" cabin. The cabins were built approximately five years apart, the second cabin being added as Ogle’s family grew. Both cabins measure 18 feet by 20 feet, and each consists of one story and a loft. The cabin’s walls consist of hewn logs connected by half-dovetail notches, with six doors (one on the front and back wall of each cabin, and two next to the chimney to allow quick passage between the two buildings). Each cabin has a split-oak shingled roof, a sawn board floor, and hearths made of rubble. The cabin’s windows were initially shuttered, but eventually replaced with glass. One cabin has a small window near the floor that allowed chickens to enter to escape predators. A covered porch spans both the front and back walls of both cabins.
Ogle barn
The Ogle barn is the last remaining four-pen barn in the park. It consists of four 11-square-foot pens, each one story with a loft, covered by a split-shingled roof. Like the cabin, the barn’s walls are constructed of hewn logs connected by half-dovetail notches. The park service made numerous repairs to the barn in the 1960s.

2013 – 3rd Annual Flyfest
Image by Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing – Northern VA
More than 65 people attended the Third Annual PHWFF Flyfest held at Harman’s North Fork Cottages in Cabins, W.Va., Dec. 6-8. The event was hosted by the PHWFF Fort Belvoir and PHWFF Quantico Programs and more than 35 Warriors and several family members from seven different PHWFF programs fished 1 ¾ miles of the private access trophy trout stream during the three-day weekend trip.
In attendance during the weekend were Volunteer Guides and Warriors from the two local programs in addition to members from programs in Martinsburg, West Va.; Richmond, Va.; Atlanta, Ga.; Winchester, Va.; and Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center, Richmond, Va. For 14 Warriors, it was the first time they had traveled to Harman’s. Also, three professional fly fishing guides/instructors attended and donated their time to the event.
The air temperatures never rose above the upper 30s and often included wind chills in the teens with heavy rain and snow during the weekend’s festivities.
Bigg Riggs Farm, owned by Calvin Riggleman, an Iraq Marine combat Veteran and small farmer from Loom, W. Va., provided all meals for the three-day event.
Friday and Saturday evenings included Warrior raffles for prizes donated by supporters from around the country. Additionally, three small businesses donated products through the two PHWFF programs’ relationships on social media.
Evenings were filled with various fly tying instruction at different cabins to include wet flies, soft hackle flies, streamers and clouser minnows. Volunteers and professional guides provided the free instruction.
The stream had been recently stocked by Harman’s with rainbow and brown trout, ranging in size from 17 to 20 inches. However, due to extremely heavy rains on Friday, Saturday’s fishing schedule was pushed back and instruction on fly casting and fly tying were held during the morning and early afternoon. Fishing was limited to “shore only” during the afternoon. Even though fishing was limited, Warriors caught fish.
Sunday morning, attendees woke to a winter storm and many left early in the day. Those who were able to stay fished from shore. Five Warriors decided to extend their stay to wait for the storm to pass so they could safely travel home. (photo Lally Laksbergs)

Humphreys serves holiday meal
By Pfc. Han, Jae-ho

CAMP HUMPHREYS — Soldiers, Family members and civilians of United States Army Garrison Humphreys celebrated with a holiday meal on Dec. 9 at the Community Activity Center.
The event included a gourmet buffet, live music by the 8th Army band, and holiday trivia.
“We were faced with so many challenges this year, but it also has been a lot of fun”, said USAG Humphreys Commander, Col Joseph P. Moore. He also thanked directorates for their work during the past year.
“Leaders in Seoul have a lot of trust and confidence in Camp Humphreys, and those who worked hard for this organization deserve a lot of credit,” he said.
“This is a great holiday party and serves as a capstone to all the hard work”, added Command Sgt. Maj. Spencer, Gray, the USAG Humphreys senior enlisted Soldier. “We don’t get to see everyone at once, so this is a great time to meet others.”

USO provides a hearty meal for free
By Victoria Choi
USAG Humphreys Public Affairs
CAMP HUMPHREYS – Every other Wednesday, from 11:30 a.m. until the food runs out, the United Services Organization, or USO, here provides a free program called “Lunchbox.”
This year, all USO free lunches are sponsored by the Exchange New Cars Sales and desserts are donated primarily by military spouses, like Michelle Sibinski, the wife of Chief Warrant Officer 2 Michael J. Sibinski, assigned to Company C, 302nd General Support Aviation Battalion. Michelle also works at the Camp Humphreys Commissary as a cashier.
“I have been in that situation when you don’t have anything and I just want to give back to my community what I have now,” she said. “This is a small community here, and pretty much everyone knows everybody, and, you know, doing these little things makes a big difference, especially, for those who are far away from home and family. Little closures like this help a lot and warm everybody’s heart.”
A group of volunteers led by Kap Brown, the USO duty manager, made all the preparations for the event and were serving a hearty meal for several dozen Soldiers.
“It is a lot of fun and it is very rewarding to give back,” said Rosie Majka, an Army wife who has been volunteering at the USO since last April.
The event has received very positive responses from Soldiers.
“I think it is a really great community outreach that USO is doing, and I know that the Soldiers definitely appreciate it,” said Staff Sgt. Brian R. Simon, assigned to 4-58th Airfield Operation Battalion.
The next USO Lunchbox is scheduled for Jan. 23. They will have hotdogs and desserts. For those who would like to donate something or have any questions, contact the USO at 753-6281.

People from Iran
Image by BockoPix
IRANIANS ARE EXTREMELY HOSPITABLE
You can see it everywhere – from shy smiles, to curious questions about where you’re from, Iranians are welcoming to visitors and are generally happy to see travellers coming. In traditional hotels and houses, they’ll treat you like family and you might even be invited for a homemade meal, just from a person on the street!
IRANIANS CARE ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY’S IMAGE ABROAD
Most Iranians I’ve met feel sad about the image of Iran abroad. Of course, the information they get is a bit biased, but they are always hopeful that you as a traveler to Iran will then tell everyone how great it’s been there! We were often asked about what we thought of Iran and we always honestly replied how amazed we were by the hospitality of people. Iran has the bad luck to lie in an unstable region, but it’s one of the safest countries in the area.
