Brocade readies Vyatta vRouter for NFV with OpenDaylight integration
Brocade boosted the Vyatta vRouter's NFV readiness with OpenDaylight integration and validation from service provider Telefonica, so that Vyatta can achieve 80Gbps performance on a standard server.
This Article Covers
Service provider networks and SDN
Brocade boosted the applicability of its Vyatta vRouter in network functions virtualization environments with validation of 80 Gbps performance and integration with OpenDaylight.
Just For You: Expert Handbook on SD-WAN
As network users' appetite for bandwidth continues to skyrocket, SD-WAN promises to revolutionize the wide area network to deliver better connectivity, reduced complexity, and lower costs. Learn more in our expert handbook.

Service provider Telefonica jointly announced with Brocade that it achieved 80 Gbps performance from a single instance of the Vyatta 5600 virtual router (vRouter) running on a commercial off-the-shelf server. The provider achieved the results within two hours of installing the software on a server running in its network functions virtualization (NFV) Reference Lab.
"By raising the performance threshold to 80 Gb, you are really covering most of the applications that are associated with data center access and edge routing," said Tom Nolle, president and chief analyst for CIMI Corp. "You can now look at a virtual router strategy that is pretty good at both edges of the network."
This level of performance can allow service providers to use NFV to replace customer-premises equipment with cloud-based services and standard servers, said Andrew Coward, Brocade's vice president for service provider strategy.
"The performance paradigm is critical, because if I can generate 80 Gb of traffic out of an Intel server, the cost points per service come way down and the price per gigabit for providing these services drops dramatically. Instead of having two or three boxes [sitting at customer sites] to do functions … like firewall and NAT, you've now got a service that's sitting in the cloud," Coward said. "It represents a huge reduction in operational costs because you don't have to deal with truck-rolls. You have simpler equipment, so there is less to get wrong. There is also an uptick to revenue because you can turn on more services beyond what is offered in customer-premises equipment."
Brocade has integrated the Vyatta vRouter with the open source SDN software stack OpenDaylight. Brocade achieved the integration through the YANG data model and the NETCONF protocol. Brocade revealed in June that it would use integration with open source platforms like OpenDaylight and OpenStack to boost the applicability of the Vyatta vRouter in NFV deployments.
The OpenDaylight integration will help automate the configuration of NFV services with the Vyatta vRouter. "The YANG/NETCONF model is increasingly popular for delivering configuration and allowing the abstraction of that through things like OpenDaylight," Coward said.
Using YANG and NETCONF to automate the instantiation of NFV services also allows a service provider to migrate gradually toward NFV and a virtualized network, CIMI's Nolle said. YANG and NETCONF can model and configure both legacy network gear and more SDN-friendly equipment and software. Even providers that are committed to NFV won't be ripping out hundreds of physical routers immediately. Instead, they will start by supplementing physical routers with virtual ones. Then, as the physical routers reach end of life, the carriers will replace them with more virtual routers, he said.
"That means [the service provider] needs to have some way of modeling how the connections and parameterizations are going to be handled not only for the new SDN environment, but also the legacy environment. YANG and NETCONF can be used to control those legacy devices. It's a transitional strategy."
Brocade added several other enhancements to the Vyatta vRouter, including support for Layer 3 MPLS and Layer 2 tunneling Protocol Version 3, and enhancements to its high-availability features to support IPv6.

Mini-Grecian Food Fest set for Friday
If you didn't get enough of the four-day annual Greek Food Festival in June organized by the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Steubenville and the ongoing monthly sale of gyros by the church's Philoptochos Society isn't enough to sustain you, take heart.
Friday is your Greek food catch-up day.
The church located at 300 S. Fourth St. is deep into preparations for its Mini-Grecian Food Fest that will be held Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. with patrons able to dine in or get carryout.
While the menu won't be as extensive as what's offered during the summertime festival, it'll still be a palette-pleasing opportunity, according to John Scavdis, church treasurer.
Quantity-wise, the one-day festival constitutes about one-fourth of the food being prepared, and while lamb is not on the menu, something new is: Souvlaki over rice – roast pork shiskabobs.
The mini-fest was held about three or four years ago and is being revived, driven by requests.
Scavdis said the end of the summer festival traditionally generates requests from patrons for more, according to Scavdis.
"People say we should do it twice a year," he said, noting a compromise is the one-day mini-fest with proceeds to go toward the church's roof project.
The menu includes roasted chicken, rice and beans; baked fish, rice and beans; souvlaki over rice; pastitsio (Greek version of macaroni and cheese); gyro; soft drinks and bottled water; a la carte roasted chicken, souvlaki, baked fish, green beans, rice pilaf, dolmathes (grape leaves) and spanakopita (spinach pie).
Desserts available are baklava; galatobouriko (custard filo); koulourakia (twist cookies); kourambiedes (powdered sugar cookies); and rice pudding.
For information, call (740) 282-7770.
Orders can be faxed to (740) 282-2091. Patrons are asked to allow at least 30 minutes to complete an order. "Your order will be ready for your convenience in the 'carryout area'" with reserved carryout parking spaces in the rear of the church.
Businesses are encouraged to consolidate orders onto one form. Credit cards are accepted.

Handel's Advent Messiah: For Unto Us A Son Is Given
The culmination of the Advent portions of Handel's Advent Messiah. Go here to listen to the earlier portions.
Handel heralds the coming of Christ with the immortal words of Isaiah Chapter 9, verse 6:
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Handel's Advent Messiah
The Advent portions of Handel's Messiah. The above video is the Overture.
Next we have "Comfort Ye" which is a messianic text from Isaiah 40.
"Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to
Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her
iniquity is pardoned. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,
prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make straight in the desert a highway for
our God. "
Video Clip Worth Watching: Brother Orchid Confesses
Brother Superior: When the heart speaks, Brother Orchid, other hearts must listen.
A brilliant scene from a brilliant movie, Edward G. Robinson as Brother Orchid takes a large step in his gradual transformation from being a mobster disguising himself as a monk into a real monk. Although not a sacramental confession, the scene has always struck me as an example of the shame and redemption that a good confession brings to a sincere penitent. After the scene Brother Orchid is forgiven, the "Brother Superior" wryly admitting that as a young monk he had been guilty of the same sin of paying a child to do some of his work at the monastery. Go here to read about Brother Orchid (1940) an astonishingly moving screwball-comedy-film noir gangster-western-religious flick that makes great Advent viewing as it illustrates the impact of the grace of God on the most unlikely of souls.
Video Clip Worth Watching: Battle of the Bulge Sermon
A film clip from Battleground (1949), a rousing tribute to the heroic stand of the 101st Airborne at Bastogne at Christmas 1944, which helped turn the tide of the Battle of the Bulge. Seventy-one years ago on December 16, 1944 the Germans launched their last desperate offensive to turn defeat into victory. The sermon helps explain to the men why they are there, and why the sacrifices they were being called upon to make were important and necessary.
We should always be mindful of the men and women in our military who are far from their families today, destined to celebrate Christmas often in dangerous situations. May God bless them and keep them, and may we always remember the sacrifices they make for us.
Christ as the Greatest Black Swan: At the Center of History
"I am a historian, I am not a believer. But I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history."
H.G. Wells
The third part of our Advent look at Jesus as the greatest Black Swan event in human history. Go here to read part one and here to read part two.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, in his 2007 book The Black Swan, took a look at the impact of events in history for which our prior experiences give us no inkling. Taleb states three requirements for a Black Swan Event:
First, it is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations, because nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility. Second, it carries an extreme 'impact'. Third, in spite of its outlier status, human nature makes us concoct explanations for its occurrence after the fact, making it explainable and predictable.
"Extreme impact" is such an understatement if used in reference to the impact of the coming of Christ on the History of Man. Such an outcome would have been considered impossible judging strictly from the facts of His life. A brief three year preaching ministry in a backwater of the Roman Empire, born a member of a conquered and widely despised people. Opposed from the start by the leaders of His people and ignored by the Roman occupiers, His movement was strangled at its inception by His death on the Cross. All but one of His Apostles fled from Him in panic, desperate to deny any connection with a clearly doomed cause. Few lives seemed more complete a failure than did that of Christ when His body was deposited in a borrowed tomb. His destiny seemed clear: to be forgotten by History, not even a footnote. Then came the Resurrection, His appearances after the Crucifixion, and his movement experienced a glorious dawn.
However, the odds against this movement accomplishing anything of note remained quite daunting. No powerful supporters; no homeland embracing their faith; cultures, both Jewish and Gentile, which were hostile to the preaching of the Gospel; countless other religions which were well-established and intolerant of a new rival; disputes quickly arising to split the movement, and the list of handicaps for these Christians as they were soon called was a lengthy one.

Fifty Years of Linus Explaining the Meaning of Christmas
As an explanation of why we celebrate Christmas each year, the above video is superb and concise.
The words of Linus are of course taken from the Gospel of Saint Luke:
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them,
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Continue reading
Advent Sermons of Saint Thomas Aquinas-Fourth Sunday in Advent
The Angelic Doctor takes us to the doorstep of Christmas in this final sermon for Advent:
"Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men." — Philip, iv. 4, 5.
THE Apostle exhorted us in the end of the preceding Epistle that we should reserve all things to Christ, the true Judge; but, lest we should be overcome by the long delay, he said that He was about to come in a very little while." The Lord," he said, "is at hand." But the Apostle in the words of the text teaches three things (1) he exhorts to inward holiness; (2) to honest conversation; (3) he subjoins the reason. I. Inward holiness consists in two things firstly, that evil affections should be renovated; and, secondly, that good affections should be obtained. S. Bernard said that holy affection makes the saint, whilst evil affection is to rejoice in the world. II. But there is an evil joy of the world, as in evil things, in vanities, in base pleasures. The joy in evil things is to rejoice in wickedness; the joy of vanities is to rejoice in riches, which are vain; and the joy in base pleasures is to rejoice in wantonness. Of the first, Prov. ii. 14, "Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked." Of the second, Ps. xlix. 6, "They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches." Of the third, Job xxi. 12, "And rejoice at the sound of the organ." S. James v. 5, "Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton." S. Augustine says of these three kinds of joy "What is the joy of the world? Wantonness is the impurity of the wickeness of the world; to toy with the games, to be luxurious, to be allured, to be swallowed up, and to offend by baseness. To rejoice in the Lord is that joy which tends to salvation; for the loving-kindness of the Lord leads to justification, for He is most bountiful by way of remuneration. For a very small servitude He gives eternal life and the heavenly kingdom, and such a Lord is without doubt to be rejoiced in; Who saves His servants by redeeming them; Who dismisses all their debts by justifying them; and Who will crown them with an eternal kingdom by preserving them."

Messianic Prophecies: Haggai 2: 6-8

[8] And I will move all nations: AND THE DESIRED OF ALL NATIONS SHALL COME: and I will fill this house with glory: saith the Lord of hosts.

Advent Sermons of Saint Thomas Aquinas-Third Sunday in Advent
In the footsteps of the Dumb Ox, we come to the Third Sunday in Advent:
Now, when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ," &c. — S. Matt. xi. 2-4.
IN the preceding Gospel the Advent of Justice was treated of: in this Gospel the Advent of Grace is considered. Mention is here made of S. John Baptist, whose name is interpreted the grace of God; or, as he in whom the grace of God was. Four things are here spoken about S. John — (1) his imprisonment; (2) the question about the Advent of Christ by the disciples whom He sent; (3) the answer of the Lord; (4) the manifold commendation of John. He was praised chiefly on four accounts — (1) for the strength of his constancy; (2) for the rigour of his clothing; (3) for the dignity of his office; (4) for the holiness of his life. Firstly, when John had heard; secondly, "Who art thou;" thirdly, "Go and shew John again," &c.; fourthly, "He began to say unto the multitudes concerning John." And, again (1) of the commendation, "What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?" (2) "A man clothed in soft raiment." (3) "Yea I say unto you, and more than a prophet." (4) "This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send My messenger before thy face," &c. But afterwards it ought to be known concerning the bonds that three kinds of people are said to be in bonds. The godly are placed in the bonds of precepts; the impious, in the bonds of sinners; the condemned, in the bonds of the tormentors. Of the first, Ezekiel iv. 8, "Behold, I will lay bands upon thee." Hos. xi. 4, "I drew them with the cords of a man; with bands of love." Of the second, Prov. v. 22, "He shall be holden with the cords of his sins." Isa. x. 4 (Vulgate), "That you be not bound down under the bond." Of the third, Wisdom xvii. 2, "Fettered with the bonds of darkness." S. Matt. xxii. 13, "Bind him hand and foot, and take him away and cast him into outer darkness." The first bonds are to be sought for; the second bonds to be dissolved; and the third to be avoided. For three reasons the bonds of the teachers are to be embraced (1) because by them safety is obtained against all evil; (2) because he who is bound by them is protected by the wisdom of God; (3) because from them he goes forth to government. Of the first reason, Eccles. vi. 30, "Then shall her fetters be a strong defence." Of the second reason, Wisdom x. 14, "And left him not in bonds." Of the third reason, Eccles. iv. 14, "Because out of prison and chains sometimes a man cometh forth to a kingdom." There are not only the bonds of preceptors to be embraced, but the bonds of sinners to be dissolved. For the sinner is bound with the chains of pride, of avarice, of luxury, and of an evil tongue. Of the first chain, Job xxxix. 5, "Who hath sent out the wild ass free? Or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?" By the wild ass pride is understood. Job xi. 12, "For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt;" whence the bands of the wild ass are the bands of pride. Of the second chain, Isa. v. 18, "Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity." Riches are vanity. Of the third chain, Prov. viii. 22, "Immediately he followeth her as an ox led to be a victim, and not knowing that he is drawn like a fool to bonds," (Vul.), for the hands of a woman are the bonds that draw. Ecc. vii. 27, "And I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands." These are the bonds that are to be dissolved. Continue reading

Advent Sermons of Saint Thomas Aquinas-Second Sunday in Advent
Our progress through Advent continues with the Angelic Doctor as our guide:
"For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning."
Rom. xv. 4.
THE Apostle has taught us on the preceding Sunday to arise from the dead; on this day he teaches us towards what we ought to arise, for the Scripture, which our heavenly Master has given for us, is to be studied and read. And the Lord as a good Master was the more solicitous to provide us with the best writings, that He might make us perfectly instructed. "Whatever things," He said, "were written, were written for our learning." But these writings are comprised in two books that is to say, in the Book of Creation, and in the Book of Scripture.
The first book has so many creations: it has just so many most perfect writings, which teach the truth without a lie; hence, when Aristotle was asked whence he had learnt so many and so great things, answered, "From the things themselves, which know not how to deceive." But they teach two things to be learned; and of the things which may be known four things are to be taught.
First, that there is a God; secondly, that this God is one; thirdly, that this God is triune; and, fourthly, that He is the highest good. For the world teaches by itself that it is His work. Wis. xiii. 5, "For by the greatness of the beauty, and of the creature, the Creator of them may be seen, to be known thereby." Because they are one, and are preserved, in the same manner, they teach the unity of God; for, if there were many Gods, the world would have already been destroyed, since division is the cause of destruction." S. Matt. xii. 25, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand." For all things exist by number, weight, and measure; or, according to S. Augustine, "On the Trinity by mode, by species, and by order; so that they teach a three-fold Godhead." Wis. xi. 21, "Thou hast ordered all things in measure, number, and weight." Because all things are good, they teach that He is the highest goodness through Whom so many good things proceed. According to S. Augustine it is a great token of goodness that every creature conceives itself to be good; therefore, because God is good, so are we. About the actions to be done, in like manner, we are taught a four-fold lesson. God is to be obeyed, loved, feared, and praised. Of the first, we ought to obey God, for all things serve Him. Ps. cxlviii. 6, "He hath made a decree which shall not pass." Continue reading
Linus, and Saint Luke, Say It All
As an explanation of why we celebrate Christmas each year, the above video is superb and concise.
The words of Linus are of course taken from the Gospel of Saint Luke:
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them,
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Continue reading
Messianic Prophesies: Jeremiah 23: 5-6

[5] Behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will raise up to David a just branch: and a king shall reign, and shall be wise, and shall execute judgement and justice in the earth.
[6] In those days shall Juda be saved, and Israel shall dwell confidently: and this is the name that they shall call him: the Lord our just one.

Advent Sermons of Saint Thomas Aquinas-First Sunday in Advent
I can think of no finer guide for us as we proceed through Advent this year than the Angelic Doctor. Here is a sermon he wrote for the First Sunday in Advent:
"Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek," &c. — S. Matt. xxi. 5.
THIS is a prophecy of the Advent of Our Lord Jesus Christ, about which there are three signs.
First, the dignity of Him Who is coming; secondly, the utility of His Advent; thirdly, the manner in which He came.
Of the first sign we read in the Gospel, "Thy King cometh;" a merciful King; a just King; a wise King; a terrible King; an omnipotent King; an eternal King. A merciful King in sparing; a just in judging; a good in rewarding; a wise in governing; an omnipotent King in defending the good; a terrible King in punishing the evil; an eternal King in ruling eternally, and in bestowing immortality. Of the first, Isa. xvi. 5, "And in mercy shall the throne be established."
Of the second, Isa. xxxiv., "And behold, a King shall reign in justice;" Isa. xvi. 5, "And He shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David."
Of the third, Ps. Ixxiii. 1, "Truly God, is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart."
Of the fourth, Jer. xxiii. 5, "I will raise unto David a righteous branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute justice and judgment in the earth."
Of the fifth, Esth. xiii. 9, "Lord, Lord, the King Almighty, for the whole world is in Thy power."
Of the sixth, Wis. xi. 10, "As a severe King, Thou didst condemn and punish."
Of the seventh, Jer. x. 10, " But the Lord is the true God, He is the living God and an everlasting King ;" S. Luke i. 33, " And of His Kingdom there shall be no end."
Of the seven, collectively, 2 Macc. i. 24, "O Lord, Lord, God, Creator of all things, Who art fearful, and strong, and righteous, and merciful, and the only gracious King." Wisdom in the Creator, mercy in the pitiful, goodness in the good, justice in the just, severity in the terrible, power in the powerful, eternity in the eternal. Continue reading
Pope Paul VI and the Smoke of Satan
(The day of the beatification of Pope Paul VI seems like a good day to repost this post.)
I have long heard about Pope Paul VI having referred to the "smoke of Satan" having entered the Church. Usually most references to it do not mention when it was said and in what context. The quote apparently was said on June 29, 1972 by Pope Paul VI on the ninth anniversary of his coronation during a homily given at a mass for the solemnity of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. The Italian text is here. As far as I know there is no official translation. On November 13, 2006 Jimmy Atkin posted at his blog a translation done of the homily by Father Stephanos Pedrano. Please note that the text that is translated is a summary of what the Pope said and not a word for word transcript of what the Pope said. Father Pedrano's translation is as follows (I have placed in red the portion of the text that refers to Satan): Continue reading
Advent and Anti-Christ, Part IV
The fourth and final part of my presentation of the four sermons on the Anti-Christ delivered by John Henry Cardinal Newman before his conversion during Advent in 1835. Part I is here, part II is here and Part III is here.
In this last sermon Newman speaks of the persecution that will attend the reign of the anti-Christ. In Newman's day, living memory could recall the savage persecution that the Church endured dring the initial years of the French Revolution. In our time, we have the blood-stained last century when millions of Christians were martyred for their faith. It is all too easy to suspect that those terrible persecutions were trial runs for the persecution of the Anti-Christ. The last century brought to reality these words of Newman: "Let us then apprehend and realize the idea, thus clearly brought before us, that, sheltered as the Church has been from persecution for 1500 years, yet a persecution awaits it, before the end, fierce and more perilous than any which occurred at its first rise." Certainly all prior persecutions pale before what Christians experienced in the Terrible Twentieth.
This is an interesting passage from Newman's sermon: "Again, another anxious sign at the present time is what appears in the approaching destruction of the Mahometan power. This too may outlive our day; still it tends visibly to annihilation, and as it crumbles, perchance the sands of the world's life are running out." I assume that Newman was thinking of the decline of the Ottoman Empire of his day, the sick man of Europe. Freed from this adversary, perhaps Europe would unite behind one man, reform or revive the Roman Empire, and bring about the conditions for the Anti-Christ. Small wonder that Hitler was frequently deemed the Anti-Christ during his lifetime. Of course Hitler was not the Anti-Christ, but perhaps merely one of myriads of anti-Christs who have arisen and fallen in the centuries since the coming of Christ, or perhaps he is a precursor of the Anti-Christ.
In our secular age, when the Faith is so weak in so many regions of traditional strength, especially in Europe, these words of Newman ring home: "It is his policy to split us up and divide us, to dislodge us gradually from our rock of strength. And if there is to be a persecution, perhaps it will be then; then, perhaps, when we are all of us in all parts of Christendom so divided, and so reduced, so full of schism, so close upon heresy. When we have cast ourselves upon the world and depend for protection upon it, and have given up our independence and our strength, then he may burst upon us in fury as far as God allows him. "
Newman ends with the hope that the knowledge of a coming persecution may cause us to act more like Christians: "Surely with this thought before us, we cannot bear to give ourselves up to thoughts of ease and comfort, of making money, settling well, or rising in the world. Surely with this thought before us, we cannot but feel that we are, what all Christians really are in the best estate, (nay rather would wish to be had they their will, if they be Christians in heart) pilgrims, watchers waiting for the morning, waiting for the light, eagerly straining our eyes for the first dawn of day—looking out for our SAVIOUR'S coming, His glorious advent, when He will end the reign of sin and wickedness, accomplish the number of His elect, and perfect those who at present struggle with infirmity, yet in their hearts love and obey Him."
The fourth and final sermon of Newman on the Anti-Christ: Continue reading


text:
In truth, I had orchestrated my own disaster. The memory of my eighth-grade field trip kept running through my head. A grumpy conductor had stopped the program in order to lecture our group on the proper etiquette of applause. I decided then and there never to pay good money to be chastised for spontaneous clapping. Twenty years later, I arrived late and frazzled to the small community theater hosting Mozart 101, sparing only a passing frown at the gentleman who had just beaten me to a prime parking space and added three minutes to my tardiness.
The program began with a few words from Opera Omaha General Director John Wehrle introducing a collaborative program between Omaha Conservatory of Music [http://www.omahacm.org] and Opera Omaha. To further this endeavor, two adolescents took the stage against a jumble of props from a recent play. A mannequin dressed in watch-cap and pea-coat watched benevolently as they prepared.
Jennifer and Jehong Ahn communicated with the nods, gestures and eye rolls exclusive to siblings before tucking their instruments under almost identical chins. And then they played. Like a cathartic release, the notes seemed to untangle the complexity of human emotion into pure, harmonic sound. Equally inspiring, Hannah Pinnt Music performed Mozart's Concerto in D Major with accompanist Dr. Karen Sigers.
I carefully waited until everyone else in the theater began clapping before I joined in the applause.
Then poet Matt Mason[http://midverse.com/Masonpoems.html] entertained the audience with an historical perspective of 18th century poetry. Full of love and loss, tragedy and jealousy, poetry contains many of the same themes today as it did 200 years ago. Inspired by a play, Lorenzo Da Ponte wrote the libretto for The Marriage of Figaro, carefully removing any overt political humor that would alienate Emperor Joseph II, while exploiting current views of the day to entertain his audience.
Garnett Bruce ended the program with music from The Marriage of Figaro, reminding us that the human voice is one of the most beautiful instruments of all. For me, art should always inspire emotion. I wish that I had not been so intimidated all these years. I try to remember this: a true artist is passionate about their work, and a true intellect can converse at any level. Artists who love what they do want to share with you—not exclude you.
After all, art is not about what you wear to the theater, or whether or not the usher is rude to you, or feeling intimidated by a conductor. Opera is about the performance—people who have spent years refining their talent in order to share their passion with an audience. Mozart had a singular talent for creating music that was accessible to everyone. And the more you know, the less likely you are to be intimidated. I hope you'll join me on December 7th for the next installment of Mozart 101. Performances by the likes of Jennifer, Jehong and Hannah should not be missed!
Everything I know about Mozart I learned from the movie, Amadeus. If memory serves, the Viennese made some rather naughty-looking chocolates named after a part of the female anatomy, and Mozart had a silly laugh. In my defense, when the movie premiered twenty-five years ago, I was busy putting the perfect slouch on my leg warmers and teasing my hair to heights that would have made a Georgian-era wigmaker proud.
In an effort to overcome my meager knowledge of classical music, I bought an album entitled, " Mozart for Your Mind". With iPod in hand and an earnest desire to boost my brainpower, I sat down to listen. Keep in mind, I can't read music, I'm tone deaf, and my singing voice can only be described as horrific.
Imagine my surprise when the composition reverberating through my ear buds resonated on a perfect emotional pitch! I sent Amadeus right to the top of my Netflix Queue. I mean, can you imagine the killer soundtrack? Then I started looking for ways to improve on my new-found appreciation of all things Mozart.
On Monday, November 9th, I'll be joining Opera Omaha in a four-part lecture and performance series to learn more about the life and work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Please accompany me on the journey as we answer these burning questions: Can a person who once confused the word 'opera' with 'Oprah' be taught to appreciate classical music? And…In 150 years, will 'rum balls' be considered 'naughty'?
PS: If there's a good turnout, I might even be persuaded to reveal a picture of my 1980's hairdo.
Sherri Shackelford | Mozart 101 student
Brundibár was a glimmer of an idea a number of years ago for the Institute for Holocaust Education. We wanted to optimize the number of students who would see the production and found a wonderful partner in Opera Omaha to accomplish our goal. After the first 4,000 students or so came through, we all looked at each other in a daze realizing the impact this story was to have on so many people. A few of the best comments I have received are the people who approached and asked if our cast was a professional touring company – and I proudly answered, "No! Except for our wonderful 'Brundibar' the cast were all Omaha and Lincoln students." I also attended a community event this week with Ela where I heard a great buzz among the crowd about her and the upcoming public show on Saturday night! We hope to see you there!
Grace Bydalek and Aubrey Fleming are about halfway through the eleven performances of the children's opera Brundibár. They share the lead role of Aninku, a young girl trying to care for a sick mother along with her brother Pepíček. Double cast due to the number of performances, when not Aninku, Grace's has the alternate role of the Dog, while Aubrey plays the Sparrow. The Dog, Sparrow and a Cat help Aninku and Pepíček defeat the town bully, Brundibár.
If their names sound familiar, it's because they both are veterans of numerous productions on the Opera Omaha, The Rose, and Omaha Community Playhouse circuit in addition to both have done voice work for the "Strawberry Shortcake" DVD series. During Opera Omaha's 50th Anniversary season, they worked together in another children's opera, All The King's Men.
Grace and Aubrey have often auditions for the same roles, but experiences like Brundibár have allowed the two to form a true friendship. Don't miss out on seeing these two amazing young artists in action at 6:30 pm on Saturday, November 7 at The Rose Theater.
I did not know the opera before but discovering it in this production has been a delight. As I hear the orchestra play its complex melodies and then hear the children sing so simply and lyrically, I am amazed that such an intricate composition can be so simple and straight-forward. And the tunes stay with me – I can't get some of them out of my head. Though thoroughly Eastern European (I keep hearing Janacek in the way the music twists and turns), I am reminded of the final children's chorus from Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Both Krása, the Brundibár composer, and Britten use a haunting melody in their final lullabies. The result is a very gentle, soothing and comforting effect. I can see how this brief opera would have been a comfort to the children in the concentration camp where it was performed.
It is also a powerful and accessible story. Two children just want to care for their sick Mom while their friends, both human and animal, come to their aid. In the process, they defeat the oppressive and unkind organ grinder, Brundibár. You can see the evil in Brundibár but I don't think it is scary. This story comes from such a tragic time but its purpose is to uplift and provide hope. I feel that very powerfully. And that feeling comes from the cast of children, all of whom are so committed, energetic (as kids will be), and full of the zeal that we expect from young people.
It is very gratifying to be the only adult in this cast. The children are so supportive of me and each other. I have spoken at several schools and I am so pleased at the energy and interest the cast kids and their school friends have shown about this show, about music, and about being part of something special. Because this experience is very unique, I am thrilled to be a part of it.

ARRRR! For a final time the seas of Marietta were plundered, this time under the command of a new captain, Jason "Chainlink" Fisher. Additional Assistant GM crew included Barret Straub and Ron Fisher, joined this year by Captain Larry (who finally got to play this game again!). Across four heats we recruited over 100 pirates with 41 games played and 33 winners.
Heat 1 was relatively subdued, possibly in part to it starting at 9:00am, with 53 pirates playing 11 games. Only a single chain of shame was awarded even though both Fishers proudly displayed their iron from previous years. Veteran pirate Steve Shambeda had his eyes on the Sea Dog Medal and indicated his plan to sink as many pirates as possible throughout the heats but trailed behind Captain Larry, earning only three stones to Larry's seven. For the wenches Anna Rinko took the lead with six stones.
The winners were: Christian Winicki, Dan Mathias, Jennifer Brown, Brad Sherwood, Andy Gardner, Randy Buehler, Brandon Bernard, Bryan Berkenstock, Larry Lingle, Daniel Long, and Matt McNabb.
Heat 2 recovered some of our missing regulars from Heat 1. Apparently grog wears off by mid afternoon. 50 pirates set sail ten times with no mutinies at all. Steve upped his pirate hunting efforts scoring eight sinks for a new high water mark for 2015, bringing his total to 11. Anna earned another three stones keeping the lead for the ladies with nine.
Heat 2's winners were: Katie Elliott, Allyson Thoma, John Wobbeking, Christian Winicki (again!), Ben Collinson Sr., James Bell, Douglas Galullo, Thomas Avtges, Brandi Horn and Jodi Folk.
By Heat 3 many of the hands seemed to have had their fill of battle and the whole crew went hoarse calling for people to walk the plank. With 38 pirates in eight ships, attrition was showing in the late hour. In all, five more Chains of Shame were awarded, with three in the same crew! Captain Barrett's game was cursed with combat every turn, causing Cold-Blooded Steve Shambeda to earn two chains of shame in one game, but also managing to earn six more stones in his quest for the most sinks (17 total and still in the lead)! Additionally, newcomer Sarah Hannan earned a chain but redeemed herself by sinking the Flying Dutchman in one roll! I bet her crew thought twice about mutinying again after that shot! Jodi Folk stuck to her guns and scored five more stones bringing her total to 11.
Heat 3 winners were: RJ Gleaton, Kevin Collins, LaFrance Bragg, Ben Collinson Jr., Todd Trahan, Sarah Vasilakos, Matt Evinger, and Brandon Bernard (again!)
With 27 different winners in three heats, the pressure was on in Heat 4. 58 pirates reported for duty aboard 12 games. Heat 4 also marked the return of 2013 Champion and 2014 runner-up Stefany Speck. Showing little concern, Stefany edged out Franklin Rinko to win in her first heat, earning her very first Chain of Shame while doing it! Chains were still all the rage with countless mutiny attempts and five more were awarded, bringing the 2015 Chain total to 11. Not to be outdone in winning against adversity, Katie Elliott won her second game despite zero hits rolling five dice against the Royal Navy, three shots in a row! Ever on the lookout for treasure, she also earned $1.00 as one of her opponents bet that it wouldn't happen twice! I guess no one was willing to bet against Katie's cannon "prowess" by the third shot. On the stones race Steve earned another three to put him at an even 20 while Jodi added four more, totaling 15.
Heat 4 winners were: Larry Lingle (again!), Dale Long, Haakon Monsen, Linda Pattison, Scott Sirianna, Jodi Folk (again!), Dalton Versak, Kevin Collins (again!), Ben Collinson Sr. (again!), Katie Elliott (again!), Stefany Speck and Dan Mathias (again!)
Yet again the Sunday morning semifinals drew heavy fire from conflicting events. Of the 33 pirates with at least one win only 18 made it to the dock on time, leaving seven slots in the semifinals to fill! Barrett Straub, Nora Tuke, Abigail Elliott, Commodore John Elliot, Sam Shambeda, Steve Scott, and Ron Fisher all advanced to the semifinal round without winning a heat. The semifinal round was serious business, with no mutinies and an average of 15 stones earned per game. Abigail Elliott and Dalton Versak tied for first place and were forced to fight it out with Abigail ultimately victorious. Stefany continued to keep the wind and advanced, reaching the final for her third straight year. Steve Shambeda's 20 stones still held the record but Barrett advanced to the Final and was gaining with 16. Jodi failed to advance but earned another five stones keeping the lead on the wenches' side of the ledger.
Semifinal winners were: Stefany Speck, Barrett Straub, Allyson Thoma, Abigail Elliott, and Nora Tuke.
The final table was a mix of seasoned veterans and newcomers. Of the five only Stefany and Allyson had earned a win before the semifinal round. Both stone records were up for grabs, but Barrett would need five and Abigail would need nine to beat the leads held by Steve and Jodi. As per tradition, Captain Larry's special Tavern and Legendary Pirate decks were used, adding in fan-made cards no one was used to playing. The Final was the deadliest game yet with a total of 24 stones earned, averaging two players sunk every turn. Ships were sabotaged. Secret weapons were deployed in the never-ending combat. At the end of the last round there was a three-way tie for first place. Everything came down to the Tavern cards, where Stefany Speck emerged victorious. Her hat-trick performance of three straight wins (Heat 4, SF, F) earned her second Pirate's Cove shield, tying her with Commodore John Elliott in that regard. Given her three-year stretch of dominance Stefany has earned the rank of Rear Admiral and shows no signs of stopping in her climb to the top of the laurels list. Her win also earned Brandon Bernard 6th place as he was the vanquished runner-up on her semifinal board. Both stones records were broken; Barrett secured six sinks, solidifying his place as the Top Sea Dog with 22 stones. Allyson tied Jodi at 20 stones but ultimately won the title due to her record-breaking nine sinks in the Final!
This year Pirate's Cove qualified for five prize plaques so each finalist got to take home their own plank! Allyson Thoma, Nora Tuke, and Abigail Elliott were all first-time WBC Century event plaque winners! Congratulations all around!
We look forward to next year when we will be sailing different seas and plundering the Seven Springs!

Writing prompts can be ineffective if they give students time to generate only superficial texts, says Todd Finley, associate professor of English Education at East Carolina University. Relying on teacher-generated writing prompts that do not allow students to go in-depth with their work is ineffective, Finley writes. Researchers have found that students retain more information when they are allowed to explore outside the boundaries of a writing prompt, he writes.

Christmas in Jerusalem 2015
Christmas in Jerusalem is a truly unique time with thousands of pilgrims coming to the city to celebrate Christmas in the place where it all began (nearby in Bethlehem). The city, in particular the Old City's Christian and Armenian quarters, become adorned with decorations, while other Jerusalem landmarks such as the YMCA, along with the city's churches celebrate with services and carol concerts. Below are some of the best things to do in Jerusalem at Christmas.
Jerusalem Christmas Events
Here are some of the highlights of Christmas in Jerusalem in 2015:
Jerusalem Christmas Tree
December 18 – The lighting of the Christmas tree at the New Gate of the Old City will take place on December 18th at 5pm.

Fear and hype hampers virtualisation uptake
Fears that virtualisation is too confusing and causes downtime is putting off IT directors from reaping the technology's cost and management benefits.

Fears that virtualisation is too confusing and causes downtime is putting off IT directors from reaping the technology's cost and management benefits.
How businesses can win talent war with mobile apps, HR data analytics and cloud technology
Latest articles on HR best practices: mobile apps disrupting the annual staff appraisals; reasons for and against open-source software; and Rolls-Royce case study.

Some 71% of the IT directors surveyed by technology integration firm Morse avoid using virtualisation for critical systems because of the perceived risks.
Biggest worry, mentioned by 58% of the 100 IT directors, is the risk of downtime, closely followed by concerns about application performance. Cost and complexity are also cited as a problem, even though both are actually reduced by adopting virtualisation.
Morse consultant Scott Reynolds believes virtualisation is a "victim of its own hype", but companies that take a strategic approach to the technology can see datacentre costs and management improvements.
"It is a hugely beneficial technology that can help businesses cut their costs in the datacentre and make their whole IT environment much simpler and easier to manage," says Reynolds.

It's been a while since I've seen an orchestra perform. When I was listening to the Windsor Symphony Orchestra perform Saturday night at the Chrysler Theatre I found myself hanging on every note. I was transfixed by the crescendos and plucking of strings. It was only when I felt the heavy weight of my canon strung around my neck, equipped with a 200mm lens that I remembered why I was there – to work.
Ian Parker, a pianist and guest artist of the night, dazzled the packed theatre with concertos by Franz Liszt.
I was inspired to say the least, and I had an urge to sit at my piano that's been neglected for so long.
Liszt's fingers danced up and down the piano with ease. He played with power and emotion. The crowd was hooked. It was no surprise when he received a standing ovation.
Check out Star reporter Ted Shaw's review of the show on Monday. You can also see photos I shot on our website.
