At home with Enzo in Italy's Motor Valley
Ferrari put Modena on the road map — and this modest city has a dramatic new venue celebrating a man at heart of motoring, writes Matthew Bell
Sunday 11 March 2012
Winter hit Modena hard in 1898. This small university town, straddling the ancient Via Emilia, was choked with snow the day Enzo Ferrari was born, 18 February. His parents had to wait two days before they could walk to the county hall to register his birth. It was an inauspicious start for the man who would bring more fame and wealth to Modena than anyone before or after (though Luciano Pavarotti did his bit, as did the inventor of balsamic vinegar, though history doesn't record his name).
There's no evidence Enzo was born in a manger, though the modest Ferrari farmhouse was arranged in conventional Italian fashion – livestock on the ground floor, the family upstairs. It was a fitting birth for a man who became so idolised that he was once called "the Pope of the north".
But hold on a minute. Aren't we getting carried away? This is the birthplace of an automotive engineer – not, ordinarily, something of interest except to the most hardcore of petrolheads. But unlike many entrepreneurs, who ditch their provincial towns for the big smoke, Ferrari kept his business at home: first in the centre of Modena, then 10 miles down the road in Maranello, where every Ferrari is still manufactured to this day. The story of how he created one of the most glamorous car marques in the world is woven into the story of 20th-century Modena. And yet, until yesterday, with the opening of the Casa Museo Enzo Ferrari, it had never officially been told here.
It's snowing when I arrive, just a couple of days after Enzo's birthday. Modena has no airport, but Bologna lies just 23 miles to the south-east, and its airport is conveniently located on the Modena side. A bus takes you to Modena every two hours, and takes only 50 minutes. But this is Motor Valley, home not just to Ferrari but Maserati, Lamborghini and smaller marques like Cisitalia. Of course I need a car. So I hire a Fiat Brava. No sniggering at the back: after all, Fiat has owned Ferrari for years, and driving on Italian motorways can feel like the Monza Grand Prix, no matter what you're in.
I'd like to say I chose to take the Via Emilia, the ancient slow road, to Modena. In fact, I ended up on it as a result of a sign-reading mistake, but I'm glad I did: this straight-line Roman artery is vital to understanding the layout of the area. The plains of Emilia-Romagna are spread between the Po valley to the north and the Apennines in the south; this road cuts right through the middle, heading south-east out of Milan to the sea at Rimini. Renaissance cities – Piacenza, Parma, Modena, Bologna – are dotted along it with gratifying regularity.
Apart from the snow, the Modena I find looks rather different from the one Enzo Ferrari would have seen on entering the world. And that's largely thanks to him: car dealerships and industrial estates – with dozens of factories making automotive parts – now surround the town. But the centre remains unaltered: a pentagon of pretty arcaded streets centring on the piazza, with its 11th-century duomo and Ghirlandina Tower. The duomo is particularly gorgeous, with an untouched Romanesque interior. While most Italian cathedrals underwent a neo-classical or Baroque makeover, they never got around to it here, so all the interior arches are simple and made of red brick. Outside, one of the door arches has one of the earliest tellings of the tale of the Arthurian knights.
Modena's motoring conversion didn't properly begin until after the Second World War. The first car to bear a prancing horse badge appeared in 1947. Biographers can't agree why or when the young Enzo decided he wanted to build racing cars, though in 1903 his father bought a single-cylinder De Dion-Bouton, one of only 27 private cars in Modena registered at that time. Aged 20, Enzo went to find work at the Fiat works in Turin. He failed, and a lifelong resentment towards Fiat was born. After a series of odd jobs, he joined Alfa Romeo as a test driver, graduating to be a racing driver throughout that sport's most heady and dangerous decade, the1920s. He then steered towards the business side, opening Alfa Romeo dealerships in Bologna and Modena.
Much has been written about Ferrari's determination to be the best. Anecdotes tend to portray him as a genius or a monster. A high number of Ferrari's racing drivers died in crashes, though these were never mechanically caused. Enzo had a reputation for pushing drivers to their limits. After a fatality, he would simply go back to work the next day, yet more determined to succeed. After being told of a crash that killed the driver Eugenio Castellotti, Enzo is said to have replied: "And the car...?"
These stories, and many more, have filled biographies, and there is a museum dedicated to Ferrari by the factory at Maranello. But inevitably it tends to focus on the cars. For most, seeing the glorious machines is the main attraction of a visit to Motor Valley. And yet central to Ferrari's story is that he sold his family home to finance his ambition.
The good news is that it survives. For years it fell into decay, and was rented out as garaging, while squatters lived upstairs. It remains in private hands, but a consortium of investors persuaded the owners to convert it into a museum. And it's here that the story stops being about cars to become one about architecture.
In 2005, a competition to redesign the site was won by Future Systems, the London-based firm founded by Czech-born architect Jan Kaplicky. His buildings include the controversial media centre at Lord's Cricket Ground that looks like a radio alarm clock, and the futuristic Selfridges building in Birmingham. Both make use of sleek curves. He impressed the judges with his idea of creating, alongside the old house, a new exhibition hall sculpted to look like a piece of a Ferrari. In 2009, when building was about to begin, Kaplicky died of a heart attack, aged 71. It was left to his protégé, Andrea Morgante, to complete the project, imagining how his mentor would have proceeded.
The results are astonishing. This part of town is quiet and suburban, and as you walk up the footpath towards the original farmhouse, little prepares you for the joyous explosion of undulating yellow roof round the corner. Bright yellow is, of course, the background colour to the Ferrari logo, which Enzo chose as homage to Modena's town colour. The wall of the new building that faces the old is a sweeping curve of glass, which half-envelopes the farmhouse's gable end.
"The façade is quite unique," says Morgante, showing me how they used yachting technology to support the glass on tensioned stainless steel rods (he wanted to use Kevlar, but the fire brigade said no). The real jaw-dropper is the roof, which looks like a giant carapace. This is no bricks-and-mortar affair: the structure is an all-aluminium semi-monocoque shell, like a boat or a plane. "We found a boat-builder," says Morgante, "who patented this system of creating aluminium extrusions, with tongue and groove clamped together to create any shape, like a boat hull. All this despite our ridiculous low budget of just €14m!"
Morgante is particularly pleased with the view you get from the train, as the railway runs along the back of the site. Two rows of windows break out of the roof, like gills or the vents of a bonnet. Though the new building looks big, it doesn't reach any higher than the 11-metre peak of the old building's roof. So to create a dramatic space inside, the hall is excavated down, and the floor slopes gently away as you enter. There is space for 17 cars, each on its own telescopic white platform. As the museum does not own any exhibits, it will borrow from private collections in the area. "The content will change every six months," says Morgante, "because we want people to keep coming back."
For motor enthusiasts, the region has long had its attractions. A highlight for a vintage car buff like me is the collection belonging to Mario Righini. He has amassed more than 300 examples of Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Bugatti, Isotta Fraschini and more, all in lovely unmolested condition, lined up in the vaults of his farmhouse. Then there's Mr Panini, who apart from making superb parmesan cheese – another regional speciality – uses his other barn to house the world's largest collection of Maseratis. And then there are the Maserati and Ferrari factories themselves: I was lucky enough to get a tour of the latter, and watched the production line agog, as space-age robots lowered the body of a California on to its chassis, a car being born before my eyes.
Just outside the factory gates is the Maranello museum, which has a few early Ferraris and several winning F1 cars. But architecturally, as Morgante says, Maranello is a "pornographic experience" – an orgy of bright reds and yellows in functional boxes. The Museo Casa Enzo Ferrari is not just for the motoring fraternity.
"We want it to be more of an art gallery than a place dedicated to hardcore motoring," he says. "Maranello is just a container containing cars. Here, we wanted a structure that not only attracts people interested in Ferraris, but also people who might come and have a coffee in the garden."
It makes me think of the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao. There, an unremarkable industrial town became a hot tourist destination thanks to Frank Gehry's explosive art gallery. Modena has never been a tourist destination before: the hope is that the Casa Enzo Ferrari will change that.
"Italy has always struggled with modern architecture, because we are so blessed with wonderful buildings," says Morgante. "It's difficult to conceive something contemporary. This was meant to provoke. We wanted to park a huge flashy car in front of an ordinary house in a super-traditional town." And if anyone would approve of that, it's Enzo Ferrari.

I have long hair and found they did not do much of anything for me. No lift, bounce or curl. They did heat up as advertised; nice for the right length of hair. Should have had them offered in larger sizes if needed. No option to purchase larger...

Great Hot Rollers Set
Par CathyB
de Vaughan ON
This is a good hot rollers set. I believe they heat up in fair enough time. They are hot to the touch and therefore, be careful. I did feel also that 8 rollers is not enough if you have fairly longer than shoulder length hair. I understand there is extra hot rollers available. I do find the cost for 2 extra rollers quite pricy, though.
Love these!
Par Mar
de Orillia
Curlers work fast and the curl does last. I found them very easy to use. Only negative is they are hot and feel heat on my forehead when using on bang area.
good travel set
Par mocha
de Vancouver
These hot rollers are compact so better for travel and storage than traditional sets. Nice case. I did not need another set of hot rollers, but I was wondering if there was anything special about this set as the T3 hairdryer I bought previously is fabulous. These rollers curled my fairly long, thick hair better than anything else to date, and the curl lasted for days. They also made my hair very smooth and silky. This set seems rather flimsy (maybe designed more for travel), but if it can withstand a few years of regular use, I will be pleased.
Good for short and medium length hair
Par Christa
de Toronto (Ontario)
There are 3 ladies in our household and all tried the rollers. It was really good for short and medium hair, but didn't do much for long hair. It is very easy to use, gives nice volume to short and medium length. My daughter, the one who has medium length hair, loves them!

Love these rollers!
Par Lorean
de Cambridge, Ontario
I have thin hair that doesn't grow very fast and is difficult to do anything with..often wear hair pieces. These rollers are easy to put in and add volume and softness to my hair. I seldom add hair pieces now..one of my best buys from the shopping channel.
I would not recommend these rollers
Par Shopper
de Toronto
First of all the packaging is very nice, They don't heat up as quick as they said they do and they do not curl your hair they way they said they do. The size of the rollers are too small the small and med size is for short hair you cannot roll your hair if it's past your shoulder. They should sell the set for short hair only.
better for short hair
Par MARY ELLEN
de BURLINGTON
I have long hair and I find that they curl the hair great at then ends but don't give a lot of lift to the roots. Also I have very thick hair and I find that I really need more than 8 rollers - if you have long thick hair go for 12 rollers. The one problem I do have with them is that I have arthritis in my thumbs and right index finger and I thought these would be easier to use than the other hot rollers I have. Unfortunately this is not so. I found them very awkward to use. If you have arthritis in your hands you may find, as I did, that the clips are awkward to open and the rollers are difficult to take off the base without touching the hot area and they are difficult to get back on as they have to be placed in a certain way to click in. The bottom line for me is if you have short to medium length hair and your hands aren't compromised in any way they are good. If you have long thick hair you will get a nice light curl or wave but not lift and not a well defined curl. If you have arthritis in your hands I am not sure that they would work well for you. I am recommending them as I feel they are very good if you want the type of curl they give and your hands can use them.
Not great - disappointed
Par Michelle
de Calgary
I was so excited to get these rollers home, but I was disappointed in the end result. One of the heating elements did not work, so that was a major problem. The curls just did not stay, and the rollers were hot if they touched the head, so they were a bit uncomfortable for me to use. I think the concept is great: it had a small footprint so did not take up much space on the counter, and the carrying case fit everything well. Unfortunately, the product came to me broken and did not deliver great curls.

Hottest Ever: All time records
All time heat - what does it mean?
What heat in the Great Plains! Cities like McCook, Nebraska on Tuesday, June 26 recorded their all time hottest day. The temperature soared to 115°. Well not hottest ever, but hottest in weather records. A careful difference. Look at the many records and high temperatures Tuesday, June 26 and again Wednesday June 27.
- High Temperatures Tuesday, June 26, 2012
- High Temperatures Wednesday, June 27, 2012
Denver tied their "all time" record of 105° 2 days in a row on Tuesday. And we have seen headlines such as "June 2011-May 2012 Hottest 12 months every in United States". But be a bit careful about what all this means. Is the climate slowly warming? Yes. Does this mean more heat waves next summer like this, and that from June 2012 through next May 2013 again it will be the "hottest 12 months every in the United States"? Want to make a bet? Look at this graph for the 12 month period, June-May temperature, over the last 100+ years.
Courtesy National Climatic Data Center/NOAA
This last 12 month period was sure a record breaker with U.S. temperature more than 3º above the long term average. But remember, at best most spots in U.S. weather records only go back about 150 years. So "all time" is not really ALL time, but within weather records time. Plus, look at the long term trend (Diagram above). Sure, warming at a significant rate of 1.3º/100 years, but plenty of year to year fluctuations. The last 12 months across the U.S. the temperature was so much above average, that the probability of this coming June - May 2013 being warmer is very low. Ready for a wager? On the other hand, I'll bet that there might be some headlines next year such as "June 2012 to May 2013 much cooler than same period last year-There is no warming". Be careful about reading just the headlines. Read between the lines. Better yet, look at the actual data and long term trends. Of course keep cool and hydrated this weekend, records or not. Here they are with our forecast highs from Wednesday.

"What is the one food that will change people's lives when they start making it at home?"
I've been getting this question a lot, and I still pause and stumble over it. I just don't quite have a clean answer.
My best answer is butter. It's quick, it works every time, and it will wow anyone in the house. And although you might not end up wanting to make all of your own butter (and I don't!), it seems to be a good gateway food that gets people wanting to make other foods at home. Butter is an inspiration. And it's butter. You can't go wrong.
Beyond that, each person seems to have their own life-changing food they make at home. For some, bread is a revelation. Or maybe it's condiments–the whisking of the mayonnaise changes it all. I've got a few of these: granola bars, yogurt, ricotta. And then there are crackers.
Crackers and cheese might be my favorite thing to eat, ever. I am that easy to please. I like Carr's. I like stoned wheat thins. I even like ak-maks. Even more, I live in a house with six (that's right, six!) other people, all passionate cracker lovers. I make crackers whenever I can, and they always bring on cheers. The only problem is that they're gone too quickly, but that's an occupational hazard of living in such a hungry and crowded house.
This is my most basic cracker recipe, and it's a good platform for any sort of flavor combination you are craving. It's a simple dough that you can make in a few minutes, and then you can cut it into any shape you like. Herbs, cracked pepper, fancy salts, and seeds are all very happy to join in here.
I use millet in these crackers because it gives them such a good crunch, and it adds a bit of nuttiness to the flavor. If you don't have millet in the pantry, feel free to leave it out. Just add a bit more flour, or substitute with poppy or sesame seeds.
You're getting the idea, right? You can do ANYTHING you want with these. There is a perfect cracker for everyone–you just have to make it.
This might be it. This might be the life changer. You never know what a Wednesday will bring, right?
I'm heading down to New York this morning (trying, in the midst of typing, to get my closet to spit out something that isn't stained with olive oil.) If you happen to listen to Martha Stewart Radio, I'll be on "Cooking Today" this afternoon at 3:30, doing my best to play it cool and not say "um" as I talk to Melissa Clark. Tomorrow, I'm giving myself a good portion of the day to wander. I haven't done this in a long time, but I'm determined to buy myself a fabulous lunch before making my way back home. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. And if I fail in my great lunch search, there are always crackers. I'm bringing them along, just in case.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Mississippi State Bulldogs are currently tied with Rutgers for the longest active bowl-winning streak in the nation with five straight wins.
Couple with last year's 52-14 win over Michigan in the Gator Bowl, Mississippi State has won bowl games in back-to-back seasons for the

Bulldogs sack masters
MSU registered six sacks in the Music City Bowl, which is the most since recording seven in a 47-35 home win over No. 3 Florida on Sept. 30, 2000.
MSU offense rolls
The Bulldogs' 4,643 yards of total offense and 241 first downs this season each rank second all-time in school history for a

Ballard's big night

Ballard's 72-yard touchdown run was the longest by a Bulldog in a bowl game all-time.
He ended his career with 2,157 rushing yards (10th all-time), accomplished in just two seasons as a Bulldog. He finished his career tied for fifth in career points scored and tied for 10th in touchdowns responsible for (29).
Ballard ended the season with 1,189 rushing yards which is good for fourth all-time.
Relf gets 15th win
Relf finished his career as the all-time winningest quarterback in MSU history (15-7, .681).
He ranks fifth in touchdown passes, seventh in touchdowns responsible for and eighth in passing yardage.
Cox's block party
All-American Fletcher Cox blocked his fifth career kick with the Bulldogs against Wake Forest in the Music City Bowl.

'Sam & Cat' not renewed: Are Jennette McCurdy's racy pics to blame?Add to Favorites | Sam & Cat
It's a tumultuous time for Nickelodeon, which is faces with one of it's most popular shows possibly going away. The network has yet to renew "Sam & Cat" for a second season, following a 40 episode Season . That revelation comes shortly after scandalous photos of one of the stars, Jennette McCurdy, appeared online.
The relationship between McCurdy and Nickelodeon seems strained at best, with the actress sitting out Sunday's "Kids Choice Awards," where "Sam & Cat" won the award for Favorite Show. When asked by fans why she skipped the awards show, McCurdy tweeted, "I was put in an uncomfortable, compromising, unfair situation (many of you have guessed what it is) and I had to look out for me."
She later clarified, "It has to do with how nickelodeon treated me" and had nothing to do with the photos.
A source tells TMZ that money is at the heart of the matter. McCurdy is reportedly unhappy with her paycheck, which is said to be much smaller than co-star Ariana Grande's. Whether true or not, a second season of the hit show isn't in the cards just yet.
A rep for Nickelodeon tells TMZ, "We have nothing but the utmost respect for Jennette and her talent." The network also released a statement concerning rumors that they've outright canceled the show.
According to EW, the statement reads, "We are wrapping up what was an unusually long production cycle of 'Sam & Cat', and everyone is understandably tired. We are going into our production hiatus next week which will give everyone on the show a much-needed rest."
There's still no word on how long the hiatus will last, or if Nickelodeon will, in fact, renew "Sam & Cat" for a second season.

Secretary of State John Kerry stepped off the diplomatic track on Thursday and onto a West Bank street where he sampled a shawarma sandwich and a pistachio-sprinkled Palestinian sweet.
In a rare gesture for a U.S. secretary of state — but a staple of U.S. political campaigns — Kerry dropped by the Samer Restaurant in the West Bank city of Ramallah to enjoy typical Middle Eastern fare.
"Man that is good," Kerry said after biting into his shawarma, a sandwich filled with slivers of meat roasted on a rotating spit, typically wrapped in pita bread and garnished with tomatoes, tahini sauce, hummus and pickled turnips.
The top U.S. diplomat, who is in Israel and the West Bank territories to try to revive peace talks that collapsed in 2010, then walked across the street to a sweet shop owned by the same man. There he dug into Kunafeh, a cheese pastry soaked in sweet syrup, and sipped coffee.
While U.S. secretaries of state have travelled to the West Bank dozens of times, they seldom step out of their official meetings to sample the local culture. One of Kerry's aims is to perk up the Palestinian economy, something he may have done in a very small measure by insisting on paying for his food.

Hi All!!!
So I am after Testers, People who are not afraid to give things ago.
So I am trying at the moment to compile the latest Linux Kernel to run on the Nexus 7. I am currently building the Kernel 3.13rc7. All the Kernels for Android seem to be quite old(ish).
I am creating a ZImage which people can then flash or test and let me know if it works OK.
I will maybe post a guide how to do this and then post it on XDADevelopers.
So is anyone willing? Please Post here and then I will post the zImage when it has finished building.
You need to be familiar with adb commands,rooting,custom ROM's and all that good stuff, For now I will just concentrate on the Kernel. You need to have adb installed. If you havent or dont know what this is then I am afraid this isn't for you.
fastboot boot zImage -- Your phone will automatically reboot
The command above will only temporarily boot the new zImage, meaning you can test and do whatever you want, but after you reboot your phone again — your previous zImage will be reloaded, removing the current one you were testing (Recommended method for testing, until you're sure you want to permanently flash).
If you all want I will post my guide just like I did with the CPU Optimisations Thread.
I don't think I am registered with XDA Developers so maybe I could collaborate with someone and they could post this zImage on there for me. I think you have to have 10 posts before you can post anything in the right part of the forum.
If by some miracle that it does boot you should see neowin appended in the build string in Android.

Pope Francis' reference to the Patriarch as my brother Andrew showed the fraternal affection said to exist between them already. However, it did much more. It pointed back to the ancient bond in which the Church will find its path back to full communion, the brotherhood of Simon (Peter) and Andrew. Will the Two Lungs of the Church, East and West Breathe Together Again? I believe that they will, and sooner than many expect. This recent letter from Peter to Andrew is one more sign of the movement of the Holy Spirit toward that glorious day. May it be a seed of the coming full communion between the two sister Churches
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
12/4/2013 (1 year ago)
Published in Europe
Keywords: Orthodox Christians, Patriarch Bartholomew, Pope Francis, Catholic Christians, Unity, full communion, sister churches, two lungs, Ut Unum Sint, Simon Peter, Andrew, Deacon Keith Fournier
CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - Pope Francis sent a letter to the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I on the Patronal feast of St Andrew the Apostle. The content of this letter signals a growing movement toward the day when the two lungs of the Church, East and West, breathe together again.
I pray daily for the full communion of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches. I do so because I believe it is the will of God that "All May be One" (John 17: 21). I am persuaded that the healing of the division between the two sister churches will unleash a profound renewal of the entire Church at the dawn of this new missionary age. I believe that the gifts found in the whole Church will enrich both East and West and assist us in the One mission which we must face together in our One Lord.
I am a revert, one who returned to my Catholic faith as a young man, I walked the way home by way of the early Church Fathers. Had I not had been baptized a Catholic of the Latin Rite; I might have become an Eastern Christian. As the decades of my life have unfolded, including my ordination as a Deacon and years of theological study, my vision and viewpoint have become profoundly Eastern. I have long prayed with icons and love the Divine Liturgy. However, I cherish the unity that comes with the gift of the Chair of Peter.
For a number of years I had the privilege of regularly serving the Divine Liturgy and I miss it. I love the Liturgy, East and West, however I find the depth of the Mystery is beautiful captured in the Liturgy of the East. Pope Francis has often noted his deep appreciation of the beauty of the Liturgy of the Eastern Church and its capacity to help those who participate enter into the mystery. There is a Latin maxim that addresses the centrality of worship in the life, identity and mission of the whole Church; "Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, Lex Vivendi". It means that the law of prayer or worship is the law of belief and the law of life. Or, even more popularly rendered, as we worship, so will we believe and live!
Worship is not some kind of add on for a Catholic or an Orthodox Christian. It is the foundation of Catholic and Orthodox identity; expressing our highest purpose. Worship reveals how we view ourselves in relationship to God, one another and the world into which we are sent to carry forward the redemptive mission of Jesus Christ. How the Church worships is a prophetic witness to the truth of what she professes.
Good worship becomes a dynamic means of drawing the entire human community into the fullness of life in Jesus Christ, lived out in the communion of the Church. It attracts - through beauty to Beauty. Worship informs and transforms both the person and the community which participates in it. There is reciprocity between worship and life.
I also long for the full communion of East and West because my oldest son is an Orthodox Christian. He, his wife and their children are all practicing Orthodox Christians. The more I visit them these days the more I appreciate the beauty of the interweaving of faith and life which comes with Eastern Christianity and its practices. Yet, the more painful our separation at the Altar, the Eucharistic Table, also becomes. I believe the pain gives me a glimpse into the very heart of the Lord who longs for our unity.
I watch for every sign that the two lungs of the One Church are beginning to fill with the one breath of Divine Life, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit alone can animate the One New Man, Jesus Christ, to heal the division which has gone on for too long in His Body. I watch with the eyes of living faith.Some tell me that I see these developments with Rose Colored glasses. If I do see through the color of rose, it is because the color symbolizes the hope which comes from faith in the Resurrection of Christ Jesus. It is also because of my bedrock conviction concerning His one plan for His One Church.
The move toward full communion between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches is prompted by the Holy Spirit. I maintain it is the most important development of the Third Christian Millennium. It has extraordinary implications for the West, indeed for the whole world, at a critical time in history. I believe it will result in the healing of the wounds which for too long have separated the Church. I believe that Pope Francis and Patriarch Bartholomew have begun to travel down the road together.
In his first papal message Benedict XVI proclaimed, Nourished and sustained by the Eucharist, Catholics cannot but feel encouraged to strive for the full unity for which Christ expressed so ardent a hope in the Upper Room. The Successor of Peter knows that he must make himself especially responsible for his Divine Master's supreme aspiration. Indeed, he is entrusted with the task of strengthening his brethren (cf. Lk 22: 32). With full awareness, therefore, at the beginning of his ministry in the Church of Rome which Peter bathed in his blood, Peter's current Successor takes on as his primary task the duty to work tirelessly to rebuild the full and visible unity of all Christ's followers. This is his ambition, his impelling duty.
Pope Benedict placed the commitment to the full communion of the Church at the forefront of his Papacy. This was evident in his love, respect and repeated overtures toward our Orthodox brethren, whom we recognize as a full Church and whose priesthood and Sacraments we also recognize. Some wondered, after his act of selflessness in handing the office on to another, what would happen to the ground gained with our sister Church, the Orthodox Church. Pope Francis made it very clear. He continues the work toward the day when the two lungs of the Church, East and West, breathe together again. Interestingly, Pope Francis literally has only one lung due to an illness as a teenager.
On March 20, 2013 Pope Francis addressed the ecumenical guests who had attended his installation. He began with warm words to the Orthodox brethren, specifically addressing Patriarch Bartholomew, First of all, heartfelt thanks for what my Brother Andrew told us. Thank you so much! Thank you so much! The two had met in a private meeting. The Patriarch of Constantinople expressed his hope that the two could meet in Jerusalem later this year and issued an invitation of historic significance. That meeting will occur.
Pope Francis' reference to the Patriarch as my brother Andrew showed the fraternal affection said to exist between them already. However, it did much more. It pointed back to the ancient bond in which the Church will find its path back to full communion, the brotherhood of Simon (Peter) and Andrew. Will the Two Lungs of the Church, East and West Breathe Together Again? I believe that they will, and sooner than many expect. This recent letter from Peter to Andrew is one more sign of the movement of the Holy Spirit toward that glorious day. May it be a seed of the coming full communion between the two sister Churches.
From Pope Francis
To His Holiness Bartholomaios I, Archbishop of Constantinople, Ecumenical Patriarch, "Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." (Eph 6:23)
After welcoming with joy the delegation which Your Holiness sent to Rome for the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, it is with the same joy that I convey, through this message entrusted to Cardinal Kurt Koch, President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, my spiritual closeness on the feast of Saint Andrew, Peter's brother and the patron saint of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
With the heartfelt affection reserved for beloved brothers, I offer my prayerful best wishes to Your Holiness, to the members of the Holy Synod, to the clergy, monks and all the faithful, and - together with my Catholic brothers and sisters - join your own prayer on this festive occasion.
Your Holiness, beloved brother in Christ, this is the first time that I address you on the occasion of the feast of the Apostle Andrew, the first-called. I take this opportunity to assure you of my intention to pursue fraternal relations between the Church of Rome and the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
It is for me a source of great reassurance to reflect on the depth and the authenticity of our existing bonds, the fruit of a grace-filled journey along which the Lord has guided our Churches since the historic encounter in Jerusalem between Pope Paul VI and Patriarch Athenagoras, the fiftieth anniversary of which we will celebrate shortly.
God, the source of all peace and love, has taught us throughout these years to regard one another as members of the same family. For indeed we have one Lord and one Savior. We belong to him through the gift of the good news of salvation transmitted by the apostles, through the one baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity, and through the holy ministry.
United in Christ, therefore, we already experience the joy of authentic brothers in Christ, while yet fully aware of not having reached the goal of full communion. In anticipation of the day in which we will finally take part together in the Eucharistic feast, Christians are duty-bound to prepare to receive this gift of God through prayer, inner conversion, renewal of life and fraternal dialogue.
Our joy in celebrating the feast of the Apostle Andrew must not make us turn our gaze from the dramatic situation of the many people who are suffering due to violence and war, hunger, poverty and grave natural disasters. I am aware that you are deeply concerned for the situation of Christians in the Middle East and for their right to remain in their homelands.
Dialogue, pardon and reconciliation are the only possible means to achieve the resolution of conflict. Let us be unceasing in our prayer to the all-powerful and merciful God for peace in this region, and let us continue to work for reconciliation and the just recognition of peoples' rights.
Your Holiness, the memory of the martyrdom of the apostle Saint Andrew also makes us think of the many Christians of all the Churches and Ecclesial Communities who in many parts of the world experience discrimination and at times pay with their own blood the price of their profession of faith.
We are presently marking the 1700th anniversary of Constantine's Edict, which put an end to religious persecution in the Roman Empire in both East and West, and opened new channels for the dissemination of the Gospel.
Today, as then, Christians of East and West must give common witness so that, strengthened by the Spirit of the risen Christ, they may disseminate the message of salvation to the entire world. There is likewise an urgent need for effective and committed cooperation among Christians in order to safeguard everywhere the right to express publicly one's faith and to be treated fairly when promoting the contribution which Christianity continues to offer to contemporary society and culture.
It is with sentiments of profound esteem and warm friendship in Christ that I invoke abundant blessings on Your Holiness and on all the faithful of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, asking the intercession of the Virgin Mother of God and of the holy apostles and martyrs Peter and Andrew. With the same sentiments I renew my best wishes and exchange with you a fraternal embrace of peace.

Melt bacon drippings in large Dutch oven or heavy pot. Add meat in 2 batches if necessary & cook on all sides until it loses its pink color. Add onions, ground hot chili, cumin, ground mild chili, garlic, salt and black pepper. Add water to barely cover the meat, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered 1 to 1 ½ hours until meat is almost tender, adding more water if needed. Add 1 cup of beef broth to the chopped chilis, tomatoes, chili Caribe, oregano-beer mixture & vinegar. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring often.

BEIRUT: Around 200 sheep graze at a sprawling Bekaa Valley agricultural research center, blissfully ignorant that they've been spared this weekend as Eid al-Adha revelers butcher and cook thousands of their fellow animals into delicious holiday meals.
"Because of Eid, you have a lot of people – even people who didn't go to Mecca for the hajj pilgrimage – they would tell the butcher to please slaughter a sleep. One-third goes to the poor, one-third to a friend and one-third to the family to eat," said Hilal Dbouk, director of American University of Beirut's Agricultural Research and Education Center, located 14 kilometers away from Baalbek.
"Tomorrow, if you visit the butchers, they would all be open. And if you go to Mecca, you would see millions of sheep being slaughtered."
Year round, beef and poultry lead Lebanon's meat markets for their abundance and relative inexpensiveness, said agricultural and culinary experts.
But lamb will take center stage for Eid al-Adha, when everything from the tender boiled lamb head to the rich, flavorsome lamb shanks feature on weekend menus across the country.
The Eid celebrates the story of Abraham, who is believed to have offered his only son as a sacrifice to God, who then spared him and allowed Abraham to sacrifice a sheep in his place. And so the tribute to the animal began.
Lebanon's revelers usually celebrate the holiday, which began Thursday at sundown, by purchasing new clothes for the family, visiting friends and relatives, taking children to amusement parks or out shopping, and eating massive lunches and dinners together – with lamb as the main course.
Ritual slaughters have become rare in Lebanon. But some of the country's more religious opt for buying the whole animal when possible.
Men can be seen on the side of the rural roads with a small flock of sheep for sale, and small-scale ritual slaughters of a couple dozen sheep still take place outside Beirut, Dbouk said.
Once at the local butcher or regional slaughterhouse, a prayer is said, the neck cut, the blood drained and the meat sold or donated en masse or by the cut.
"In Lebanon, 99.9 percent of the sheep is eaten, and the wool they sell it," Dbouk said.
The lambs will be served up in all their renditions: the less unusual brains, found at almost any sandwich shop; delicacies like ras nifa, boiled sheep's head, available at restaurants in Qasqas, Barbir and the southern suburbs; typical home-cooked fare like stuffed lamb's neck; and Western-influenced recipes using cranberry and prune sauce, said Rima al-Khodr, a Beirut-based catering chef.
Khodr prefers to buy her lamb meat from the butcher pre-cut. Her recipe for stuffed lamb's neck calls for the specific cut deboned – then stuffed with rice, onion and spices, sewn up, slow cooked and served with a medley of roasted almonds and pine nuts (see recipe).
Those opting out of cooking this holiday can sample the five-station buffet at Phoenicia Hotel's Mosaic, which is offering its usual fare in addition to chef specials for Eid al-Adha Friday and Saturday ($70 a person). The buffet will feature typical Eid desserts like pistachio-stuffed maamoul, said a Phoenicia Hotel spokeswoman.
"Every day is different. Sometimes there is lamb, depending on the chef that day," the spokeswoman said.
Other holiday events around the capital include a kids' day Sunday at 5:30 p.m. at Souk Ayyas in Beirut Souks organized by Joue Club, and a weekend charity event at Saifi Village near Beirut's Martyrs Square.
The Saifi Village event Saturday from 2 to 8 p.m. will host yoga for adults, and face painting and candy for children. All proceeds of the event will go toward organizations helping the families who lost their homes in last weekend's attack in Ashrafieh, said a spokeswoman for Solidere.
Beirut Arab University also collected clothing, food and cash for the Eid.
And many individuals are taking the initiative to donate meat through a trustworthy butcher or through Muslim charity organizations such as "Sandouk al-Zakat," said Rima Alsammarae, 24, of Beirut.
Keeping with the custom, Alsammarae will be donating lamb meat.
"I'm not particularly religious, but my family is Muslim, and there are aspects of the religion I really admire, such as giving to the poor," she said.
"Eid al-Adha is a reminder of what you have and what you can give. This is why I'm following tradition."
Stuffed lamb's neck
- Lamb's neck deboned
- 2 medium yellow onions
- 2 gloves of garlic (optional)
- 2 1/2 cups of rice
- Vegetable oil
- Dry raisins (optional)
- 1/2 cup almonds and pine nuts (toasted)
- Cinnamon stick
- Spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, sweet pepper, salt, black pepper, bay leaves
- Twine (thread to sew lamb together)
Buy the lamb's neck deboned from the butcher.
Spread the neck out and rub the inside with a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, sweet pepper, salt and black pepper.
Separately, chop the onions and mix with one cup of raw rice, chopped garlic, a dash of vegetable oil, pepper, salt and a pinch of cinnamon. Add dry raisins to mixture, if desired.
Stuff the neck with the mixture and sew like a pocket all the way around the edge with twine.
In a hot saute pan with a little olive oil, brown the outside of the lamb on all sides. Cover it with hot water, add several bay leaves, the cinnamon stick and salt and pepper, and simmer for two or three hours until very tender.
When meat is finished, set it aside and keep the water. Add the rest of the rice, about one-and-a-half cups, to the stock with a dash of each spice, and cook until fluffy. In a separate pan toast the almonds and pine nuts.
Take twine out of lamb. Mix all the rice together, top with tender, cut lamb's neck and garnish with toasted nuts.

Legislation targets teen drivers with cellphones
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
A recent survey by Nationwide Mutual Insurance said that 73 percent of drives say they speak on a cell phone while they drive; 19 percent of those drivers said they also send text messages behind a wheel.
Meanwhile, a recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report says that 80 percent of crashes are caused by inattentive drivers, with cell phones listed as the most common distraction.
Several states have some form of legislation regulating cell phone use in cars, but Florida does not.
Port Richey House Republican John Legg wants to change that. Heâs introducing a bill in the next legislative session that would address one portion of the population and their phones.
With cell phone usage being a factor in accidents, New York state in 2001 banned using handheld cellphones for all drivers, regardless of age. Representative John Legg says heâd like to pass such a law in Florida, but, he says, itâs probably a non-starter.
Text messaging on cell phones has expanded in recent years. The Boston Globe reported last month that a Massachusetts man told police he was behind the wheel typing a text message on his cellphone when he lost control of his SUV, killing a a 13-year-old boy riding a bicycle.
Legg said he would like to add a provision to his bill preventing all drivers from texting while driving.
Sen. Carey Baker is sponsoring similar legislation in the Senate.comments powered by Disqus
