<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/Just_Us_Cafe.jpg/150px-Just_Us_Cafe.jpg" alt="Dear Supporters of Fair Trade" width="150" height="112" />JUDES and Just Us! Coffee Roasters Co-op are pleased to present an evening with Francisco VanderHoff - a co-founder of Fair Trade.</p>
<p>His idea was so simple – to organize small coffee farmers into co-operatives and build their capacity to produce, transport, process and export their high quality coffee at a fair price. This would allow them to escape the clutches of “coyotes” or intermediaries and give them dignity, control and hope for a better future.</p>
<p>Fair Trade now includes many different products and has great potential as a model for social change. It is also in danger of being hijacked by big business. Join us for a presentation and discussion about the Future of Fair Trade.</p>
<ul>
<li>Fr. Francisco VanderHoff will share his experience and thoughts on the future of Fair Trade (with an introduction from the Town of Wolfville in Wolfville)</li>
<li>Errol Sharpe of Fernwood Publishing will speak about his recent visit to a Fair Trade coffee community in Mexico</li>
<li>Screening of Wisdom of the Mountains—a short video capturing the spirit and experience of the indigenous Zapotec peoples, Fair Trade coffee farmers in Chayotepec, Mexico</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Fair Trade refreshments will be served.<br />
</em><br />
<strong>When &#38; Where (2 locations):<br />
</strong><strong><br />
Wednesday, May 21, 2008 @ 7—9 pm<br />
K.C. Irving Environmental Science Centre Auditorium, University Avenue, Wolfville, Acadia University </strong></p>
<p>OR</p>
<p><strong>Thursday, May 22, 2008 @ 7—9 pm<br />
5657 North Street Church, Halifax</strong> (at the Corner of North and Fuller Terrace)</p>
<p>For more information, please email <strong>info@judesfairtrade.ca</strong> or phone <strong>902-542-7474 xt 230<br />
</strong><br />
This event is also co-sponsored by: Fernwood Publishing, the Town of Wolfville, and the F.C. Manning School of Business (Acadia University).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Je suis un lecteur. Ou du moins je commence à me définir comme un lecteur, quand je vois que l'étagère où je range mes bouquins ne suffit plus à pouvoir les ranger les uns à côté des autres, mais plutôt les uns verticalement, et les autres au dessus. Je ne lis pas un type particulier de livres mais j'aime bien deux catégories: l'histoire et le thriller comtemporain. Et il y a quelques mois, j'ai acheté par hasard (le synopsis est ma seule aide quand j'achète un bouquin), <em>Prédateurs</em> de Maxime CHATTAM. Et j'ai tout simplement été sidéré, aspiré et intéressé. Je me suis d'une telle ferveur à la lecture des premières pages que je l'ai lu en quelques jours, le soir principalement. Je ne suis pas surpris quand je lis de part et d'autres qu'il a été récompensé en tant qu'écrivain de talent.<br />
Hier, je me suis donc acheté <em>Maléfices</em>, du même auteur. Une sombre histoire d'araignées tueuses, mais avec de petites histoires satellites autour. Action, suspens, et horreur et perspective. J'ai lu le premier chapitre sous le soleil guyanais cet après-midi, et j'ai hâte de suive la suite.</p>
<p>Si vous avez des livres de M. CHATTAM, n'hésitez pas à laisser vos remarques.</p>
<p>Bravo.<br />
J'aime.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just before I bring the mood down again, I want to say how grateful I am to <a href="http://www.mentalnurse.org.uk/2008/05/05/new-addition-to-my-blogroll/">Mental Nurse</a> and <a href="http://mentalpatient.org.uk/2008/05/05/52/">Mental Patient About Town</a> for linking to my blog... and going to find those URLs, I've just seen that some people are doubting my age. I'm not sure whether I should feel flattered or hurt. I started this blog so that I could talk into the void about how I am and how I feel; I never expected anyone to read it and so I've got no reason to lie. I skipped a year and I've been bullied for it and teased and treated like a freak for it, and yes, I'm 14, and yes, my GCSEs start next week. It's also my birthday soon, so I'll be 15 in a couple of weeks.</p>
<p>OK. Vaguely hurt lecture over. Sorry about that. Now to get back on track.</p>
<p>"Who am I?" My friends who do Religion and Philosophy have been freaking over that particular puzzle for a while now, because they'll have to answer it intelligently and thoughtfully on no more than three A4 sides in sixty minutes quite soon. I couldn't do it; that question freaks me out more than it'll ever freak them. I mean, I just don't understand it.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm a teenager. I'm <em>supposed</em> to go all introspective and self-analytical and wonder about the meaning of life and existence of God (but I generally avoid those last two because they get too big too fast and I get in too deep). I'm <em>supposed</em> to be discovering <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolescent_psychology#Psychological_issues">who I am</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_rebellion">what I do</a>, and why I do it and who I do it for. This is the time of my life where I find my identity and develop a real and mature personality. This is transition. In fact... this is <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/adolescence">'the transitional period of physical and psychological development between childhood and maturity'</a>, if you want to get picky.</p>
<p>And I don't know who I am. I'm with Danny, and I'm sweet like her and I can have a laugh but a nice one, and we study hard but we'll also talk in lessons and muck around - that's who Su is to her - but I'm with Danny <em>and</em> Jess and Dipali, and I'll be mean all of a sudden, and making fun of Danny for a cheap laugh, which isn't nice but I don't seem to be able to help it, that's who I <em>am</em> when I'm with those two - that's Suzy for them. Or with the kids in my year I'm a bit scared of, intimidated by, I go practically mute and sit quietly reading in the corner somewhere, trying to stop them looking at me. That's who Suzanne is to them.</p>
<p>More examples, easy peasy. My mates from out of school, when we're at band together I'm the loudmouth rebel kid pulling stupid dares, talking back to the adults, being the entertainer. That's who Su is with them. Or karate (brown belt, hell yeah!): before I went up to the senior class I was with all the little kids, like ages five to thirteen. For them Suzanne was the older responsible one, who didn't talk a whole lot but knew all the moves.</p>
<p>It's all so different. Who am I? I'm whoever you want me to be. Or rather, I'm whoever I <em>think</em> you want me to be.</p>
<p>The thought that I might be with Jaz, from out of school, who last saw me running across a road doing little Billy Elliot ballet leaps and laughing like a crazy kid (oh, haha, <em>really</em> funny) and meet up with someone like Alex, who I just avoid and don't speak in front of - who I play submissive to - short-circuits my mind. That can't happen. They're two separate universes. They require Su V.1.0 and Suzanne V.2.0. I'd freeze, I'd block them out, I'd probably step out and let the autopilot version of me take over. Or I'm with Dipali in front of some small mates from karate: I don't know. I'd probably make fun of their hair and then apologise or something. The versions of me they know aren't compatible. None of them are. They don't work together and they mustn't come together. They're personalised to the individual I'm faced with.</p>
<p>And if I can't work out who I should be for them, I'll just pretend I'm a character in a book, or a film, and act the way I think they would. I don't have to be <em>any</em> kind of Suzy. I can be Maximum Ride. I can be Carrie. I can be Hannibal Lecter. But just the manners and charm... not the cannibalism. Of course not.  </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>C'est ambitieux de faire réaliser un livre à chaque mise à niveau, mais nous constatons chaque année que cela ne leur fait pas peur. Relever les défis fait partie de leur quotidien, je crois même qu'ils ne s'en rendent plus compte.

<p>Le projet d'édition de l'atelier communication visuelle s'appuie sur le texte d'une chanson, ou d'une recette de cuisine. Les étudiants devaient choisir un illustrateur ou un photographe, analyser son travail et s'en inspirer pour transmettre une émotion ou donner du caractère à leur travail.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="metadata-contentrow">On July 25th the Austin ASTD Instructional Design SIG members heard a presentation by Dr. James Caras, President of Sapling Systems on "Characteristics of e-learning 2.0." Sapling Systems has developed their own sophisticated Flash-based authoring tools for math and science courses. You can learn more at the <a href="http://www.saplingsystems.com" target="_blank">company web site</a>.</div>
<div class="metadata-contentrow">He coined his own term for e-learning 2.0 by calling it "we-learning" which has the following desirable characteristics:</div>
<ul>
<li>simple authoring tools that incorporate symbols and activities that are as good as, and hopefully better, than existing teaching methods</li>
<li>engaging interactivity with rich media</li>
<li>convergence - available on all OS and mobile devices</li>
<li>promotes sharing and collaboration to develop new content and peer review of learning efforts</li>
<li>transparency to promote trust</li>
<li>measurement of learning new knowledge; tracking progress gains</li>
<li>promotes effective and efficient learning</li>
<li>mentors struggling learners by incorporating intelligent feedback, tutoring, and adaptive testing.</li>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Si comme moi vous aviez laissé passé l'an dernier cette charmante <em>Contre-enquête sur la mort d'Emma Bovary</em>,* n'hésitez pas un seul instant à vous y jeter. Que voilà de la belle langue, pour des suggestions au demeurant bien hardies !</p>
<p>Imaginer la réalité d'une Emma à Yonville, en un printemps normand anormalement neigeux et victime d'un assassinat qui n'avait, au fond même pas lieu d'être, voilà bien une belle trouvaille. Philippe Doumenc nous renvoie dans le décor et la vie remodelés des personnages de Flaubert à la suite d'un jeune inspecteur plein d'entrain et d'émois à la recherche d'une vérité... qui se confirme dans l'oeuvre de Gustave.</p>
<p>Mais on sent chez l'auteur un tel plaisir à cisailler le détail d'une oeuvre qu'il connaît à l'évidence par coeur, réinventant ici ou là quelques traits, chargeant quelque peu, mais avec la grâce du langage, des caractères déjà passablement médiocres, cupides, lubriques ou obséquieux, que c'est aussi pour le lecteur un réel plaisir de suivre ce Rémi, émule de Rouletabille. Au gré de toutes ses hypothèses et interrogations, entre le roman vrai et un possible et dérisoire imaginaire, il nous fait passer un délicieux moment.</p>
<p>Une occasion, aussi, de revenir à l'oeuvre initiale, celle de toute une vie, où de découvrir, autre bijou ce <em>Quelque chose à déclarer **</em>de <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Barnes">Julien Barnes</a>, autre fin connaisseur de <a href="http://flaubert.univ-rouen.fr/">Gustave Flaubert</a> et amoureux indéfectible de la France, et surtout de l'esprit français, dont Philippe Doumenc témoigne ici une fois encore.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Je connaissais Philip K. Dick de nom sans avoir lu aucun de ses livres. C’est un auteur prolifique]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Je connaissais Philip K. Dick de nom sans avoir lu aucun de ses livres. C’est un auteur prolifique dont plusieurs œuvres ont été adaptées au cinéma comme <em>Total Recall</em>, <em>Blade Runner</em>, <em>Minority Report</em> ou encore <em>Paycheck</em>. <em>Substance Mort</em> a lui aussi fait l’objet d’un film avec Keanu Reeves, Woody Harrelson, Winona Ryder et Robert Downey Jr. Je n’en n’avais pas entendu parler avant de lire le livre. C’est apparemment un film style animation sorti sous le nom <em>A scanner darkly</em> en 2006.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Revenons au livre. Fred est un policier de la brigade des stups qui vit en Californie. Comme tous les membres de son unité, il travaille incognito grâce à un costume spécial, le complet brouillé, qui dissimule sa véritable identité auprès de ses collègues. Pourquoi tant de méfiance au sein du corps policier ? A cause des taupes qui pourraient révéler son identité lorsqu’il est sur le terrain. Son supérieur le convoque dans son bureau pour lui demande d’enquêter sur un certain Bob Arctor, un toxicomane soupçonné de trafiquer la drogue la plus populaire du moment, la substance Mort. Or Bob Arctor et Fred sont la même personne ! Arctor est en fait l’identité de Fred lorsqu’il ne porte pas son complet brouillé et qu’il essaie d’infiltrer les réseaux de distribution de drogue dans la ville d’Anaheim. Fred se demande donc comment il va pouvoir gérer la situation. C’est le début d’une spirale qui le verra passer d’une identité à l’autre au fil de son enquête. Son cerveau va se troubler face à la difficulté de la tâche et aussi sous l’effet de la substance Mort dont il est devenu dépendant.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-277" src="http://meslectures.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/substancemort.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="581" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Le livre ne contient pas tellement d’action. C’est un récit très intérieur qui suit les doutes et les hésitations du personnage central. Nous sommes plongés au cœur de la schizophrénie de Fred/Bob Arctor. Bien sûr, tout l’édifice mis en place par Philip K. Dick ne tient que si on accepte la prémisse du complet brouillé qui cache la véritable identité de Fred à ses collègues. Sinon il est bien évident que l’enquête n’aurait pas lieu.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Si Philip K. Dick est reconnu comme un auteur de science fiction, <em>Substance Mort</em> n’est pas pour moi de la science fiction à proprement parler. L’accent n’est pas mis sur la technologie et la science mais plutôt sur l’univers de la drogue et sur le vécu intérieur du personnage principal et ses relations avec ses amis et ses collègues. <em>Substance Mort</em> décrit une société sombre où les toxicomanes sont traqués sans pitié, envoyés dans des centres de traitement où ils subissent un sevrage de force et où on leur attribue une nouvelle identité.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>Substance Mort</em> est un livre qui prend position contre la drogue et ses abus. L’auteur dédie le livre à ses amis décédés d’avoir pris trop de drogue. Il souligne que ces personnes ont payé un prix très fort pour avoir voulu juste s’amuser. Se droguer aura été une erreur pour ses amis. C’est la seule morale du livre.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img class="size-full wp-image-250 alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://meslectures.wordpress.com/files/2008/02/4etoiles.gif" alt="" width="110" height="25" /></p>

I really like this idea and will be giving you my outlines of the speeches and what I thought about what they talked about. This is the second one I will look at.</p>
<p><strong>The Speaker</strong></p>
<p>Tom Carroll is a 10 year veteran of the CIA Clandestine Operations.  He spent 7 years abroad in the Middle East and since then has become highly published.  He focuses on espionage, National Security, Intelligence, and the Middle East.  Recently, he has been doing consults for government clients in California.</p>
<p><strong>Counterterrorism (CT)<br />
</strong></p>
<p>As we all know, counterterrorism has been high on everybody's list since 9/11 and our intel agencies have taken a leading role in this field.  Most intel agencies around the world are well practiced in the field of counterintelligence, which is very similar to counterterrorism.  The speaker believes that CT is a subset of CI.</p>
<p><strong>Defensive Counterintelligence (CI) and Comparisons with Defensive CT<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Mr. Carroll defines CI as the effort to defeat the intel operations of foreign powers.  We can break CI down into two parts, defensive and offensive.  Defensive CI includes catching spies inside ones own organization, detect and deter penetrations and espionage, etc.  The brunt of these tasks are taken by the security department if one exists.  They take on three things: Physical Security, Personnel Security, and Information Technology Security, things like network security, system patches, passwords, and audit trails.  All of these security issues provide a strong overlap with Law Enforcement, who solves crimes.  Now lets compare Defensive CI with Defensive CT.  CT's focus is on the opposition from an enemy attacking.  It is very similar to Defensive CI in that the same three securities are crucial.  In the US, we are very good at the Defensive side of all of this and it is all perfectly legal under domestic US law.  However, some large corporations hesitate to employ vigorous Defensive CI &#38; CT measures.  They mainly don't want to because there is an issue concerning the scrutinization of workers.  Outsourcing abroad is also a problem of this sort.  Companies don't want to come off as racist by employing more strict measures of security.  A lot of money is spent on the high tech infrastructure protection even when it only provides a small amount of the total corporate espionage.  Most of this fraud comes from insider intrusion because companies turn a blind eye to their people problems.</p>
<p><strong>Offensive CI vs. Offensive CT</strong></p>
<p>Offensive CI is defined as direct attacks on the oppostion's intel services.  This part has nothing to do with law enforcement, it involves the penetration of the opposition, deception, and counter-espionage.  Basically, you are trying to do to an enemy everything you are trying to stop them from doing.  The key is, you cannot wait for the opposition to come to you.  The use of moles, penetrations, or agents are absolutely critical for a successful CI mission.  Lets compare now to Offensive CT, they are almost the same except you are trying to take out a terror cell instead of an intel service.  This is where we can do the real damage to terror cells and also this is where the distinction between foreign and domestic is the most important.  the CIA can vigorously pursue CT ops abroad, however, Domestic US ops are strictly limited by law.  People in the US have rights and theres only so much our government can do without crossing that line that cannot be crossed, when freedoms are ignored.  This is why strong CT programs have no real domestic counterpart.  Our intel services have contributed the most to the war on terror, almost all of which happens abroad.</p>
<p><strong>Question</strong></p>
<p>With respect to Defensive CT vs. Offensive CT distinction, where do our relationships with foreign intel services generally fall?</p>
<p><strong>Answer</strong></p>
<p>Liaison Relationships - friendly intel services cooperate with each other</p>
<p>What they help us with is offensive CT, things like going after the terrorist and penetrating cells.  They will sometimes provide physical help, by using us to secure buildings or we ask them to do the same, but most of the time, liaison relationships fall in the Offensive category.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#a97756;">Cela me semble tout indiqué pour ceux qui ont déjà beaucoup avancé dans leurs challenges annuels, mais aussi pour ceux qui, comme moi, sont en retard, parce qu'ils lisent hors challenge. Ma solution est la suivante : multiplier les petits challenges de manière à multiplier les lectures. Logique, non ?</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#a97756;">Voilà pourquoi je vous propose le Challenge Vivaldi. Mais qu'est-ce donc ?

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>L'homme est un animal qui a reçu à un degré exceptionnel la faculté de représentation, cette prodigieuse et fantastique fonction symbolique qui permet à la bête humaine de prendre du recul par rapport au réel si prégnant, de le réfléchir, d'y réfléchir, d'en faire donc une image qu'il peut travailler et modifier en pensée. En représentation, en pensée, mentalement, l'homme peut ainsi répéter et répéter cent fois, scène après scène, avant de se risquer à entrer véritablement en scène, geste après geste, acte après acte, la pièce de sa vie, et de séance en séance, jour après jour, l'homme acteur de sa propre existence améliore son jeu.</p>
<p>Et chacun peut donner son interprétation personnelle du prodigieux scénario qu'est la vie.</p>
<p>Petit-Bout, ta séance, ta vie, tu vas la jouer sur la scène immense de la terre, une scène aux mille décors, aux acteurs innombrables parmi lesquels tu te choisiras quelques partenaires selon ton cœur, ton goût, alors que bien d'autres te seront imposés par le hasard et les circonstances.</p>
<p>Certains ont besoin de croire en un metteur en scène suprême qui serait capable de tenir et manipuler sans les emmêler les fils des milliards de marionnettes que nous serions.</p>
<p>Ta liberté de mise en scène, ta créativité, ne seront pas totales, jamais :<br />
Des partenaires te seront imposés : tes parents, ta famille te donneront d'abord la réplique tout en t'enseignant le b-a ba du métier d'acteur, ils t'apprendront, eux et l'entourage, puis l'école, les ficelles et les risques du métier. Il y aura mille souffleurs pour te soutenir, mais aussi mille siffleurs qui ne t'épargneront guère. Tu recevras aussi quantité de "tomates" et de projectiles divers, mais ce sont les huées qui t'infligeront les blessures les plus cuisantes, celles de l'amour-propre blessé, qui allie en une potion redoutable les poisons du sentiment de ne comprendre rien à rien et de n'être ni aimé, ni apprécié.</p>
<p>Cet étrange animal qu'est l'homme a développé à un point incroyable la faculté d'être mécontent de lui-même : son aptitude à la réflexion, à se réfléchir lui-même fait qu'il est le spectateur du spectacle qu'il donne, et son surmoi, et sa morale, et sa religion, et ses idéaux sont dans la salle, au premier rang, et voient tout, et leurs reproches sont sans pitié : pas de cris, pas de sifflets, pas de jets, mais l'expression courroucée d'un mécontentement sans appel qui fait bien plus mal que des coups.</p>
<p>Dans ce fantastique jeu de rôle qu'est une vie, le hasard tient lui aussi sa partie et t'imposera bien des improvisations, parfois terriblement difficiles et douloureuses, des interprétations de scènes inattendues, parfois des rôles ingrats dans des scènes d'horreur. Et il t'arrivera alors d'être tenté de quitter la scène sous les huées, celles du public, de tous les censeurs intimes de ta bonne éducation, de certains de tes partenaires - pas tous, jamais tous, il y en a toujours qui te regretteront et te pleureront, dans un recoin du décor et même au fond de la salle et tout là-haut au poulailler, quelques humbles au grand cœur.</p>
<p>Comment savoir, comment sentir qu'on est aimé quand on est submergé par la honte? Alors, public et partenaires, ne ménagez pas vos bravos à l'artiste, il s'en souviendra peut-être quand le doute et peut-être la tentation d'en finir l'empoigneront.</p>
<p>Mais un acteur se prend au jeu et il en faut pour le faire raccrocher. Et puis il y a tout de même des entractes et les changements de décor qui laissent un peu le temps de souffler, de se retrouver après tant d'identifications à tant de personnages différents, de se ressaisir après un four. On va faire en coulisses un petit pèlerinage de quelques pas de méditation et si on a le temps, un tour dans sa loge pour réparer les craquelures du maquillage.</p>
<p>Le maquillage, le masque, c'est peut-être cela la caractéristique majeure des acteurs de la vie, la difficulté, la quasi impossibilité d'être vraiment soi, authentique et vrai. Nous sommes tous des Pinocchio façonnés par on ne sait quel Gepetto, et notre nez ne devrait guère cesser de jouer au yo-yo tant il est rare que nous puissions nous permettre le luxe de la vérité.</p>
<p>Petit-Bout n'est pas toujours satisfait, tant s'en faut, des partenaires obligés de bien des scènes où il doit figurer. Il y en a qui sont toujours là, au premier plan, qui tirent la couverture à eux, les grands frères et grandes sœurs en particulier qui semblent si bien connaître leur rôle, les premiers de la classe, les petits chefs de service, tous ces prétentieux qui sont tout en haut de l'affiche et qui ont tous les vivats.</p>
<p>Heureusement, Petit-Bout s'esquive chaque fois qu'il le peut et va rejoindre des partenaires de son choix avec lesquels il s'offre selon son identité et son état de Petit-Bout quelques saynètes de derrière les fagots du genre partie de billes, chasse au lance-pierre, drague des filles – ou des mecs –, orgie de gâteaux ou de bonbons ou de lecture…</p>
<p>Souvent même – et plus on est Petit-Bout, plus cette tendance est affirmée, Petit-Bout se choisit des partenaires particulièrement inoffensifs, puisque venus de ses souvenirs ou de son imaginaire.</p>
<p>Les compagnons de lecture – les personnages du roman ou de la pièce – deviennent très souvent des partenaires quand Petit-Bout un peu las ou un peu déçu par l'auteur se permet une pause-rêverie où il refait le scénario, et même le casting, puisqu'il se mêle souvent avec talent et délices à la distribution en s'identifiant au héros où à l'héroïne de son cœur.</p>
<p>Oui, Petit-Bout est un grand spécialiste de l'usurpation d'identité par le biais de ses identifications coups de cœur avec les héros qui l'enthousiasment.</p>
<p>S'il existait quelque ordinateur capable d'enregistrer ces rêveries, tous ces rêves fous qui refont le monde et veulent le rendre habitable aux déshérités, aux faibles et aux malheureux, on trouverait assurément dans ce fabuleux dépôt toutes les recettes d'un possible paradis sur terre.</p>
<p>Et Petit-Bout se demande souvent combien d'ébauches de romans inachevés, d'œuvres d'art abandonnées dans un coin d'atelier, combien de rimes sont restées filles uniques, orphelines, faute de temps, ou parce que la vie si prégnante, plus exigeante qu'un bébé qui fait un caprice, oblige le rêveur au retour précipité sur terre comme un équipage de fusée menacé de panne de batterie. Ce n'est pas l'inspiration qui fait le plus souvent défaut, mais la quiétude, cette liberté de l'esprit et du cœur, même si quelques chefs d'œuvres ont pu être enfantés dans le fracas et la souffrance. Mais c'est en fait souvent le besoin de dire, d'écrire, de peindre qui germe alors ; et seule un peu de paix revenue autorise la prise de distance, le rêve, la rêverie, la poésie, et permet au résilient tranquille d'oser saisir la plume ou le pinceau, faire de sa souffrance contenue, maîtrisée, une œuvre d'art, une raison de recouvrer un peu d'estime de soi.</p>
<p>Car la vraie résilience débute dans la douleur alors que naît le besoin de dire, de sortir de soi ce témoignage, cette vision qu'on a eu de la souffrance.</p>
<p>C'est en cela que Boris Cyrulnik a raison de parler de « merveilleux malheur ».</p>
<p>A condition toutefois de ne pas être totalement brisé ou paralysé ou rendu muet. A condition que les « braises de résilience » - et il y en a toujours, et même encore au moment de la mort, quand on se replie sur ce qu'on a eu de plus précieux – soient oxygénées par quelque médecin ou même le plus souvent un simple secouriste bénévole du cœur et de l'âme qui aura su lire à temps la soif, la famine, la peur et la douleur muettes, qui saura dire les mots qui apaisent, qui tiendra la main et fera sentir sa simple et précieuse présence.</p>
<p>Quand le rêveur se nomme Victor-Hugo, on a le sentiment que le temps précieux de la rêverie sacrifié aux petites choses obligées de la vie est un peu un vol fait au patrimoine de l'humanité.</p>
<p>A la lecture de la belle biographie de Hugo par Max Gallo, on est sidéré de voir comment un homme si généreux, si authentiquement humaniste, a pu être à ce point en proie aux critiques mesquines, combien ont voulu le détruire, et on est impressionné de constater à quel point il était porté par son besoin irrépressible de dénoncer partout et toujours « les misères » - ce qui était le premier titre prévu pour « les misérables » - de combattre sans relâche la souffrance, la douleur, l'injustice, tous les extrémismes, l'esclavage, la peine de mort…</p>
<p>Quand la guerre stupide vient confisquer tant de chefs-d'œuvre potentiels déjà pressentis dans la  courte vie d'un artiste, d'un poète ou d'un savant, on se sent frustré de leurs réalisations virtuelles qu'on ne connaîtra jamais.</p>
<p>Et pourtant, et heureusement il suffit de quelques-unes de ces fleurs si spéciales du génie pour donner beaucoup de miel à butiner, et chacune des abeilles que nous sommes peut trouver dans les vastes champs de nos civilisations les corolles qui lui conviendront le mieux. Petit-Bout sait bien qu'un poème de Baudelaire, une chanson de Brel, « la prière » de Brassens, quelques lignes d'un conte populaire, quelques pages de Tolstoï suffisent à transformer une vie, à l'éclairer, à la vivifier pour toujours en lui donnant un sens et un but. Ces génies de la pensée et du cœur sont aussi nos pères et mères et nous sommes tous quelque part un peu les orphelins de ceux qui disparaissent trop tôt, d'un Alain Fournier, d'un Louis Pergaud.</p>
<p>Oui nous sommes tous plus ou moins en représentation.</p>
<p>Alors, puisque nous devons jouer un rôle, efforçons-nous de choisir dans le vaste répertoire de notre culture, de notre histoire, de l'humanisme quelques rôles où la dignité soit sauve et qui honorent la mémoire des grands maîtres dont nous peuplons notre panthéon intime. Si la chance est avec nous, si nous avons du talent et si nous avons été bien formés, nous pourrons peut-être jouer nous aussi quelques scènes de bravoure. Mais sachons nous contenter pour le quotidien d'une partition souvent modeste et aussi collective que possible. Le soliste souffre toujours plus des huées éventuelles que chaque chanteur de la chorale.</p>

Every entrant earns a ribbon. <a href="http://www.calendarwiz.com/calendars/popup.php?&#38;op=view&#38;id=15695268&#38;crd=mahonabouttown">Details</a>. </p>
<p>The parade is followed at 10:45 by the <b>Daffy Hat Pageant</b>. Then the newly established <b>Dog Parade</b> gets going just after the cars leave town, at 12:30 at the corner of Main and Federal.</p>
