Food Storage Essentials: Storing grains: What about carbs and gluten intolerance?
Leslie Probert
Some people are concerned about storing grains because they have heard carbohydrates are not healthy. Others wonder about the importance of following a gluten-free diet. Here's what experts say about these concerns.
Benefits of carbs
Harvard School of Public Health says, "Don't be misled by fad diets that make blanket pronouncements of the dangers of carbohydrates. They provide the body with fuel it needs for physical activity and for proper organ function, and they are an important part of a healthy diet. ... Choose good carbs, not no carbs. Whole grains are your best bet."
The benefits of eating whole grains are significant. According to the School of Public Health at University of California Berkeley, "Many studies have linked higher intakes of whole grains, including whole wheat, with a reduced risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke, as well as improvements in blood cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar control. Other studies have found that whole wheat can help people control their weight and/or lose body fat, especially when they eat it in place of refined-wheat products."
Oatmeal and whole wheat are the most common whole grains stored, with a shelf life of 30 years. They also have the advantage of being inexpensive.
A popular book is promoting the idea that wheat (and wheat products) actually cause weight gain and a fat belly. It also claims that modern wheat is the worst culprit of all the grains because it has been altered over the years via selective breeding.
About these claims the UC School of Public Health says, "Wheat is a staple in most parts of the world, and there's little or no correlation between regional intakes and rates of obesity. A century ago Americans ate much more wheat than we do today, and very few were obese."
The school's wellness website continues, "Food scientists have developed hybrid varieties of wheat to be sturdier and have higher yields, better quality and greater resistance to disease and insects. That's true of most crops. There's no clinical evidence that differences between today's wheat and older varieties have adverse effects on our health."
What other whole grains can be stored? Whole wheat pasta does not store well. Oil in the outside coating of wheat, as it is exposed to air when ground into flour, causes whole wheat products to go rancid quickly. Brown rice is another whole grain that does not store well. Even without being ground, oil in its outside coating causes rancidity within a relatively short time. Store a small amount of whole wheat pasta and brown rice only if you rotate them constantly.
Barley, though not considered a whole grain, is a great option because it has almost twice the fiber of brown rice and stores well.
What about storing and eating long-grain white rice, regular pasta and white flour? These foods still contain good nutrition, and rice and pasta will store up to 30 years. Of all the kinds of rice, long-grain white rice stores the best. People have eaten these foods over many years in the past without experiencing the rate of obesity we see today. Our problem is consuming large serving sizes and large quantities of processed, sweet and fatty foods. We have eaten more than we need. At my house, we store and eat these foods regularly in moderation. They offer important variety in food storage.
Gluten intolerance
A growing number of people are concerned about gluten intolerance. In the past few years the production and sale of gluten-free products have exploded. Gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye, has become unpopular, raising concerns that this is becoming the latest food fad. Many people are going on highly restrictive gluten-free diets without being diagnosed to determine if they truly need them.

Wolf L Series Oven Question
Hello - I have a Wolf L Series Wall Oven that was recently installed. I've noticed the little button that activates the dash rotation is 'wiggly' (don't know how else to describe it). It all works fine, but should this button wiggle like this?
If you have an L series, would you mind letting me know if yours is also wiggly or if it's not?
I have a single L-Series wall oven and it is "wiggly", and that is normal. It is how ours has always been and how it has been on every one I have seen in show rooms including the Wolf cooking demo.
Breezy, I am also having chipping problems again and I contacted Wolf and told them I would get back to them after the first of the new year. I hope the new E's have that problem fixed. At least they have a record of me contacting them. You might want to wait until to do anything about replacement until the new M Series replaces the L Series, but I would call them and let them know you are not happy with your ovens.
Hi Kala. I just posted on A2's thread asking about anyone NOT having chipping. I was actually waiting a little longer until closer to the M release.
When you told Wolf, did they say anything? Offer anything? Or did you just state the problem and say you'd contact them again next year? I'm thinking that if I call them they'll want to do something about it right away.
No, they were not trying to force an oven on me now. They said that the new Es will have a separate piece on the bottom and that should take the stress off the corners that causes the chipping. So they know that I am waiting for the new model. The new Ms have new convection fans in the corners and both E and M's ovens are a little larger. I would just tell them that I can wait for the new model. They are great ovens, if they can just fix the chipping problem. Good luck with yours.

The beauty of Muscadet is that not only is this Loire classic deliciously fresh in flavour, it is also no more than 12%
Crisp and bright, with green apple and citrus flavours, this simply must be put with seafood for best results.

Jamie Goode - S Magazine, Sunday Express 24/03/2013
"This is a really appealing and affordable example of Muscadet. It has simple pure fruit with a smoky, mineral character. This is a versatile, tasty dry white and comes with a bargain price tag. Try it and see."
Victoria Moore - Telegraph Weekend 25/05/2013
"There is one tricky thing about recommending non-vintage wines - which are usually perked up with the fresh vintage towards the end of its lifespan - and that is that it's impossible for you to tell whether you've picked up the right bottle. Still, this particular NV looked fantastic at the Tesco tasting, and tasted far better than Tesco's more expensive Finest Muscadet Sur Lie. A simple wine, but a good one."
Muscadet is grown in vineyards around the city of Nanes in the estuary of the Loire valley. Wine growing started in this area during the Roman empire and carried on growing in quality since then.
Cedric Jenin
From the Loire estuary with clay soils, rich in minerals. An oceanic climate, with soft an wet winters and gentle summers.

This was our first stay at Hotel Rehoboth although we've been to Rehoboth many times in the past. We found the staff attentive and helpful but unobtrusive. Our room was attractive and spacious with extremely comfortable beds. The breakfast room is roomy and I was pleased at the offerings which included fresh fruit, yogurt, a savory quiche, a daily hot dish such as French Toast, pancakes, etc. as well as bagels, toast, and English Muffins. While the hotel is a few blocks from the beach, it is superbly located on Rehoboth Avenue near many good restaurants and shops. We had excellent food from both Lupo di Mare, located in the hotel, as well as Zebra just a few steps behind the property. Normally we'd prefer to walk to the beach but with a major East Coast heat wave going on with temperatures hovering near 100 and oppressive humidity, we opted to ride the hotel's speedy shuttle which zips you right to the boardwalk. Although we were visiting during an extremely busy weekend, we never had to wait more than a few minutes for the shuttle to arrive. We also liked the convenience of being able to use the hotel's beach chairs and towels. Our 11-year old enjoyed ending the day with a dip in the pool which is compact yet refreshing. All in all a very nice hotel in one of our family's favorite locations.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Newest 08 luxury hotel located in the heart of Rehoboth Beach-Avenue offering a wealth of complimentary amenities and services including, Deluxe continental breakfast, open air beach shuttle with chairs & towels, turn down service with chocolates, Wine, seasonal beverage with cheese & crackers nightly, outdoor pool, WiFi & broadband internet access, business center, on-site restaurant and much more. ... more less
- Also Known As:
- Rehoboth Hotel Beach

This invention relates generally to signal processing techniques for removing or reducing the effects of instabilities in pulsed signal sources, as in phase echo systems using a pulsed signal transmitter source, and, more particularly, to a technique for compensating for the varying amplitude, frequency and/or phase characteristics of the signal source pulses during operation.
1. A signal processing circuit for use in a transmitter/receiver system, the transmitter of which includes a transmitter pulse source for providing transmitted pulse signals having undesired amplitude, frequency and/or phase distortions which vary from transmitter pulse to transmitter pulse, and the receiver of which receives return pulse signals which include said distortions, said receiver including
means responsive to said return pulse signals for providing a plurality of complex digitized samples for each of said return pulse signals, each of said samples having in-phase and quadrature components thereof;
means responsive to reference pulse signals for providing a plurality of complex digitized samples for each of said reference pulse signals, each of said samples having in-phase and quadrature components thereof; and
compensating means including weighting means including
means responsive to the plurality of complex digitized samples of said reference pulse signals for providing an ensemble average of the phases of a plurality of reference pulse signals; and
means responsive to said ensemble average for generating a plurality of weighting signals; and
means for multiplying the plurality of complex digitized samples of said return signals by said plurality of weighting signals to compensate, in the return signals, for the undesired amplitude, frequency and/or phase distortions in the transmitted pulse signals so as to provide a receiver output signal in which said distortions are reduced.
2. A signal processing circuit in accordance with claim 1 wherein said reference pulse signals are transmitted pulse signals.
3. A signal processing circuit in accordance with claim 2 wherein
said compensating means further includes time delay means responsive to the complex digitized samples of said return signals for providing a plurality of complex digitized return signals which are time delayed with respect to each other;
said weighting means includes means responsive to the complex digitized samples of said transmitted pulse signals for generating a plurality of weighting signals having selected weight values;

This is a continuation of co-pending application Ser. No. 810,034 filed on Dec. 17, 1985 now abandoned.
This invention relates generally to signal processing techniques for removing or reducing the effects of instabilities in pulsed signal sources, as in pulse echo systems using a pulsed signal transmitter source, and, more particularly, to a technique for compensating for the varying amplitude, frequency and/or phase characteristics of the signal source pulses during operation by preprocessing each received signal pulse so as to make it appear that it was transmitted by a single signal source which had time-invariant amplitude, frequency and/or phase characteristics.
The technical field of the invention is generally the field of pulsed echo systems, the invention being particularly of significant use in the field of radar systems, including radar systems which incorporate clutter cancellation, Doppler estimation and moving target indicator (MTI) techniques, regardless of the type of transmitting source which may be used therein.
In pulsed return echo transmit/receiver systems, such as radar or sonar systems, for example, the pulsed signals from a transmitter pulsed signal source may vary in their amplitude, frequency and/or phase characteristics from pulse to pulse so that the received target echo pulses are to some degree dissimilar, that is, they contain distortions which arise as a result. It is desirable to reduce the effects of such distortions as much as possible.
An example of a system in which such distortions are undesirable is a radar system which is ued to develop transmitter pulse signals requiring the utilization of a high power pulsed signal source, such as a magnetron, for example. Magnetrons are relatively inexpensive and have a long life and tend to be very reliable in such a context and so their use is highly desired in many applications. However, unlike coherent power souces such as klystrons, magnetrons can generate relatively severe amplitude, frequency and/or phase distortions.
In many such radars, however, a problem which arises in the signal processing of the incoming target return, or echo pulse, signals in the radar receiver, is that such return pulses are often accompanied by ground clutter; i.e., return echo pulses from fixed targets on the ground which tend to mask or otherwise obscure the return pulses from the desired moving target which may be near the ground level. One technique for removing or at least substantially reducing the effects of ground clutter is to utilize Doppler processing or Doppler filtering techniques, radars using such techniques being known in the art as Doppler filter or moving target indicators (MTI) radars. For such a Doppler processor radar system to operate effectively, however, the high powered transmission pulses must be substantially identical to one another and any deviations or distortions in the pulse amplitude, frequency or phase characteristics thereof tend to prevent the Doppler system from effectively reducing the ground clutter effects so that the system becomes less useful.
Magnetrons, however, tend to produce pulses whose characteristics are not exactly the same from pulse to pulse. In many cases the differences are sufficient that their amplitude, frequency and/or phase variations introduce problems in processing the return echos. Since magnetrons are in effect pulsed oscillators, the phase of the output pulse is substantially completely random on a pulse to pulse basis and, in addition, there may also be small amplitude and frequency modulation effects which are introduced from one pulse to another.
One technique for compensating for phase variations in such radar systems is to use a coherent oscillator circuit, sometimes referred to as a "coho circuit", a technique that has been long used in MTI radars. While phase variations can be relatively effectively compensated by the use of such circuits, the remaining amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM) effects often still limit the system's performance. Normally, it has been found that the FM effect is the most difficult to compensate for and is often the more critical of the two modulation effects. One approach to avoiding the problem of AM and FM distortions has been to design relatively expensive magnetron structures having very low AM and FM distortions. Such designs are very difficult to implement and tend to measurably increase the cost of the power tubes and the transmitter portion of the system, particularly when an overall radar system has already been installed, is in use, and must be retrofitted with such newly designed magnetrons. It would be more desirable to avoid such costly redesign and to devise receiving techniques which use appropriate circuitry for compensating for such AM and FM effects. This is particularly so if such circuitry can be used in existing systems to retrofit such systems in such a way as to improve their performances at a reasonable cost.
In accordance with the invention, a unique signal processing technique is proposed for compensating for AM and FM transmitter pulse distortions as well as to provide the desired phase corrections in transmit/receiver system where such distortions arise as a result of the operation of the transmitter pulsed signal source. Such a technique greatly reduces the distortion effects in the received pulse signals of pulse to pulse variations in the amplitude, frequency, and phase characteristics of the transmitted pulses and makes it appear as though the transmitted pulses were identical and coherent. Such compensations makes much greater clutter rejection possible in a Doppler radar system, for example, without modifying the transmitter pulse signal source itself and, thus, allows the Doppler processor, or any coherent processor, to operate much more effectively.
The technique of the invention uses a transversal equalizer circuit in which a received, or return echo, signal in its complex form, i.e., a form having both in phase and quadrature components, is sampled in time. The samples are then compared with the transmitted pulse, also in its complex form. The circuit recognizes changes in the structure of the transmitted pulses, on a pulse to pulse basis, and compensates for amplitude, frequency and phase changes. After compensation, the waveforms of the received pulses approach those which would have been received if the transmitter had time-invariant amplitude and phase characteristics. More specifically, in a preferred embodiment the circuit includes a tapped delay line to which received signal samples are supplied, the delayed output from each of the taps being weighted in accordance with a suitable weight generator circuit and the weighted signals being appropriately summed to supply an output signal to the receiver. The weights as determined by the weight generator circuit are discretely changed from transmitted pulse to transmitted pulse in accordance with suitably selected criteria developed in accordance with the invention, so that the output to the receiver is appropriately compensated for with respect to amplitude, frequency and/or phase variations in the transmitted pulse signals prior to the supplying of the received echo signals to the receiver circuitry.
The invention can be described in more detail with the help of the accompanying drawings wherein.
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an exemplary radar system which utilizes a distortion compensator circuitry in accordance with the invention.
FIGS. 2 and 2A show transmitter pulse waveforms helpful in understanding the invention.
FIG. 3 shows a more detailed block diagram of the distortion compensator circuitry of the invention as used in the system of FIG. 1.
The distortion compensator circuitry of the invention is described in a preferred embodiment theory in the context of an MTI radar receiver which uses a magnetron pulse transmitter signal source. In the case where the source is a magnetron, the implementation of the invention would be known as a Magnetron Distortion Equalizer. It is understood, however, that the invention can readily be adapted to systems using pulsed signal sources other than a magnetron, e.g., a klystron, and to systems other than MTI radar systems, e.g., weather radar systems, sonar systems, and the like.
As can be seen in FIG. 1, a magnetron 10 is supplied with high voltage (e.g., 50 kV) from a high voltage source 11. The magnetron supplies transmitter pulses via appropriate switching circuitry 12 to an antenna system 15. Switching circuitry 12 may be a standard transmit/receive (T/R) circuit which permits transmitted pulses to be supplied to the antenna during a transmission mode and permits received pulses to be supplied from the antenna to the receiver and receiver processing circuitry during a receiving mode. The transmitted pulses are directed towards an appropriate target region, as depicted by arrow 13A, and are reflected from the moving target back to the antenna system, as indicated by arrow 13b. The receive pulses are then supplied through switch circuitry 12 to a downconverter circuit 14 which converts the radio frequency (RF) into an intermediate frequency (IF) signal. The IF signal is then supplied to a conventional automatic gain control (AGC) circuit 15 which assures that the received pulses are maintained within a suitable amplitude range for subsequent use by the receiver. Both the downconverter circuitry and the automatic gain control circuitry are well known to those in the art.
In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention, the received pulses are then converted to a baseband frequency and the in-phase and quadrature components thereof are appropriately obtained by means of a conventionally known quadrature baseband converter circuit 16. At that stage the in-phase and quadrature components are essentially analog in nature and are converted to digital form through a suitable analog-to-digital (A to D) converter circuit 17. The digitized in-phase and quadrature components are then supplied to a source distortion compensator circuit 18, as discussed in more detail below, which compensates for amplitude, frequency and phase variations in the transmitted pulses so as to produce an output signal which can then be used in a well known Doppler processor circuit 19 which can then effectively eliminate the effects of non-moving targets in the receiver pulse signals.
Although the well-known Doppler processor circuit operating without the signal source distortion compensator can provide some decrease in ground clutter effects even when there are some differences from pulse to pulse in the transmitted magnetron signals, the best that can be presently achieved with such circuitry is often less than what is required for satisfactory performance. For example, in a typical application one might desire a 40 to 50 dB reduction in ground clutter, but may only achieve a 20 to 25 dB reduction. One of the reasons for present Doppler processor circuitry being limited in performance is that the pulse-to-pulse differences, other than initial phase, are not corrected. The use of a signal source distortion compensator circuit of the invention would compensate for such differences and could produce ground clutter reductions up to as high as 40 to 50 dB, without having to resort to an expensive redesign of the magnetron and the transmitter for such purpose.
In understanding the detailed operation of the distortion compensator circuit of the invention, it is helpful to consider the in-phase and quadrature components of a transmitted pulse both in its desired, or nearly perfect, form and in its undesired, or distorted form as shown in FIGS. 2 and 2A. As can be seen in FIG. 2, in a "perfect" output transmitted pulse the in-phase component is effectively a true square wave while the quadrature component is effectively zero. The effect of frequency modulation distortion would be that the transmitted pulses are distorted along the lines shown qualitatively in FIG. 2A. As can be seen therein, the in-phase component is no longer perfectly square and the quadrature component may have a triangular characteristic of the nature shown due to the frequency deviations from the perfect pulse form. It is the adverse effect of such distortions on the received signals that the source distortion compensator circuitry of the invention is intended to reduce.
A specific source distortion compensator circuit is shown in FIG. 3 wherein a receiver pulse sample in complex form is supplied from A to D converter circuit 17 to a tapped delay line 20 having a plurality of taps 21-1, 21-2, 21-3 through 21-K. The nondelayed signal is shown at line 22 while the outputs of the delay line taps are represented by the signals at 22-1, 22-2 and 22-K. Such signals are supplied to weighting circuits 23 through 23-K, where they are in effect multiplied by suitable weighting factors W-1, W-2, W-3 through W-K. The outputs of the weighting circuits are then appropriately summed in a suitable summing circuit 26 to supply a summed output signal for supply to a Doppler radar receiver.
The weights W-1 through W-K are generated by a weight generator circuit 24 and are determined by the transmitted pulse samples supplied through switch 12 and its associated circuitry to the input of weight generator 24 and indicated in block 25 as T-X pulse samples. The weight generator is arranged to provide discretely changing weights W-1 through W-K for each of the pulse input samples, i.e., the weights are reset each time a transmitter pulse sample is supplied to weight generator 24; the weights being determined thereby for each of the corresponding return echo pulses associated with such transmitted pulses.
The weight generator circuit 24 operates in accordance with the following approach which can be best explained in terms of the equations representing the handling mathematically of the transmitted pulse for generating the desired weights. The complex samples of the transmitted pulse are represented by the following equation (1):
TX(N,M)=A(N,M)ejθ(N,M) (1)
where TX(N,M) is a set of K complex samples taken of the transmitted pulses for a particular pulse repetition interval (PRI) number M, N is the sample index within the pulse (i.e., N varies from 1 to K), A(N,M) is a real function representing the envelope of the pulse, and θ(N,M) is the phase variable.
The phase variable can be represented as follows:
74 (N,M)=θ(N)+θc (M)+θf (N,M) (2)
where θ(N) is the slowly varying component of the phase, i.e, samples may vary with N but not with M over the set of K samples, θc (M) is the initial random phase of the pulse which may vary over 2π radians from pulse to pulse but is not a function of N, and θf (N,M) is the pulse to pulse variation of the phase function after the initial random phase θc (M) has been removed. Thus, θf (N,M) represents the pulse to pulse frequency modulation.
The weight generator is designed to produce a set of weights that are equal to, or approximate, the following expression:
W(N,M)=A(K-N,M)ej{-θ(K-N)-θ.sbsp.c.sup.(M)+θ.sbsp.f.sup.(K-N,M)}. (3)
The above function is almost the same as a matched filter function for this pulse with the difference that the sign of θf (N,M) is reversed from the matched filter case. Such relationships as expressed in Eq. (3) allows the source distortion compensator to compensate for pulse to pulse frequency modulation while still achieving close to matched filter signal-to-thermal noise performance. To compute the weights it is first necessary to calculate θ(N,M) as follows: ##EQU1##
It should be noted that the tan-1 function is a double valued function; to resolve this ambiguity one must know the sign of the denominator of the argument, and modify the function as follows: ##EQU2## An estimate of the average θ(N,M) can be made and depicted as θ(N,M) which notation can be read as "an estimate of the ensemble average of θ(N,M)". Such estimates can be determined relative to the phase measurement at the center sample within pulse M, θ(C,M), as follows:
Δθ(N,M)=θ(N,M)-θ(C,M)-θ(N,M-1) (5a)
θ(N,M)=θ(N,M-1)+εΔθ(N,M) (5b)
Care must be taken in forming the estimate θ(N,M). Since θ(N,M) is a modulo 2π variable, it has a discontinuity at 0. To average properly, one may express all angles as being between -π and +π and perform modulo arithmetic. In modulo 2π arithmetic, if the sum of two angles is greater than +π then 2π is subtracted from the sum; if the difference is less than -π then +2π is added to the difference.
The estimate which is formed in accordance with Eq. (5b) is an estimate of θ(N) formed by exponentially weighting the past samples of θ(N). In Eq. (5b) the constant ε is a relatively small constant which in a particular embodiment may be approximately 1/16 (ε controls the smoothing of the estimate θ(N,M)). Once θ(N,M) has been determined, an estimate of W(N,M) can be formed: ##EQU3## where C is the index of the center sample and the asterisk indicates complex conjugation.
The θ(C,M) term in the exponent is the phase of the center sample and can be defined as the random phase of the pulse. Dividing by |TX(C,M)| normalizes the output of the compensator to remove any amplitude modulation. As can be seen, if there is no pulse to pulse frequency modulation that is, if θ(N,M)=θ(N), then the compensator circuit becomes the matched filter circuit for the received signall so that there is no loss of signal detectability. For moderate amounts of transmitter frequency modulation, the compensator circuit is close to a matched filter, and there is very little degradation of signal detectability.
The implementation of Equations (1) through (7) can be performed utilizing known data processing techniques so that the weights W(N,M) can be suitably generated in accordance therewith in the weight generator 24 during each pulse repetition interval, the weights being discretely changed each interval in accordance with such computations.
It has been found that the use of such a weighting approach increases the ground clutter cancellation effectiveness of the overall system so that compensation for the distortions caused by amplitude and frequency modulation, together with the phase compensation using well known Doppler processing, reduces the ground clutter effect by 20 to 25 dB more than the reduction achieved by using Doppler processing alone. Thus, in some cases where Doppler processing can provide up to 25 dB improvement, the use of the source distortion compensator circuitry of the invention can improve such reduction so as to provide up to 50 dB or more in the cancellation of ground clutter characteristics.
A further improvement, although sometimes relatively small, in cancellation performance may be obtained by multiplying the weights by a correction factor, Γ(N,m), a number near unity which is a function of the amount of frequency offset. The frequency offset may be estimated by taking the magnitude of the difference between θ(N,M) and θ(N,M) as follows: ##EQU4##
Γ(N,m)=f(N,M,KΔF); (8)
where K is a constant depending on the pulse width and sampling rate.
Once KΔF is estimated it can be used to find the correction factor by looking it up in a table of precalculated values.
The weight generator algorithm is summarized in Table 1.
As mentioned above the specific system described above is exemplary only and the technique of the invention would also be found useful by those in the art in other systems, i.e., other radar systems or other transmit/receive systems using target echo signals, such as sonar systems, any of such systems using pulsed signal sources other than magnetrons, for example, solid-state transmitter sources, or acoustic sources such as may be used in sonar. Moreover, in some applications, rather than using samples of the transmitted signal for generating the weights involved, it is possible to utilize samples of a predefined reference signal. Hence, the invention is not to be construed as limited to the particular embodiment described herein except as defined by the appended claims.

Street scene in the Vieille Ville (old town) part of Nice on the French Riviera (Cote d'Azur)
Captured with Canon 5D MkII and a Canon EF 70-200/4L IS lens.
Nice is the fifth most populous city in France, after Paris, Marseille, Lyon and Toulouse. The urban area of Nice extends beyond the administrative city limits with a population of about 1 million on an area of 721 km2 (278 sq mi). Located on the south east coast of France on the Mediterranean Sea, Nice is the second-largest French city on the Mediterranean coast after Marseille.
The city is called Nice la Belle (Nissa La Bella in Nicard), which means Nice the Beautiful, which is also the title of the unofficial anthem of Nice, written by Menica Rondelly in 1912. Nice is the capital of the Alpes Maritimes departement and the second biggest city of the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region after Marseille.
The area of today's Nice is believed to be among the oldest human settlements in Europe. One of the archaeological sites, Terra Amata, displays evidence of a very early use of fire. Around 350 BC, Greeks of Marseille founded a permanent settlement and called it Nikaia, after Nike, the goddess of victory.
Through the ages, the town has changed hands many times. Its strategic location and port significantly contributed to its maritime strength. For years it was a Piedmontese dominion, then became part of France between 1792 and 1815, when it was returned to Piedmont-Sardinia until its annexation by France in 1860. Culturally and architecturally enriched over time, today Nice has become a truly cosmopolitan tourist destination. The spectacular natural beauty of the Nice area and its mild Mediterranean climate came to the attention of the English upper classes in the second half of the 18th century, when an increasing number of aristocratic families took to spending their winter there. The city's main seaside promenade, the Promenade des Anglais ("the Walkway of the English") owes its name to the earliest visitors to the resort. For decades now, the picturesque Nicean surroundings have attracted not only those in search of relaxation, but also those seeking inspiration. The clear air and soft light has been of particular appeal to some of Western culture's most outstanding painters, such as Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, Niki de Saint Phalle and Arman. Their work is commemorated in many of the city's museums, including Musee Marc Chagall, Musee Matisse and Musee des Beaux-Arts Jules Cheret. The climate and landscape are still what attracts most visitors today. It has the second largest hotel capacity in the country and it's the second-most visited place in France after Paris, receiving 4 million tourists every year. It also has the second busiest airport in France after Paris and two convention centres dedicated to business tourism. The city also has a university, several business districts and some major cultural facilities, such as museums, a national theatre, an opera house with a regional library and several concert halls and casinos. It is the historical capital city of the County of Nice (Comte de Nice).
Nice experiences a Mediterranean climate.

Stream Roy Orbison's Never-Before-Heard 'The Way Is Love'
New track dates back to the '80s, features assists from Orbison's sons
Roy Orbison's final studio album, 1989's posthumously released Mystery Girl, turns 25 this year. To celebrate the milestone anniversary, Sony Music Entertainment's Legacy Recordings is releasing Mystery Girl — Deluxe, a comprehensive reissue that features a documentary on the making of the record, in addition to nine previously unreleased studio and work-tape demos. Among those newly uncovered treasures is "The Way Is Love," a never-before-heard song that was put together by Orbison's sons — Wesley, Roy Jr., and Alex — after the family discovered a one-of-a-kind vocal recording for the track.
"We all talked and decided it would be the best if we could play the backing instruments and sing backups on the track, fulfilling a lifelong family dream to play not only with our father, but with each other as brothers," Roy Jr. says. "It's a matter of heart."
Recorded with John Carter Cash on acoustic guitar and as co-producer, "The Way Is Love" complements Orbison's restored vocals (which were originally recorded on a cassette player boombox sometime around 1986) with fresh instrumentation, including piano, organ, bass, and strings, as well as guitar-playing by Roy Jr. and Wesley Orbison, and drumming from Alex Orbison. Stream Roy Orbison's heart-swelling "The Way Is Love" below, and pre-order Mystery Girl — Deluxe through Amazon.

Hummers in NY
There was one early report in downstate NY a couple of weeks ago and then nothing until Saturday. There are now two reports for Central NY but nothing yet in Western NY. So all that hang feeders put those feeders out especially since there are no nectar plants blooming yet. It shouldn't be long now especially if we get some good southwest winds. Below is a link to the migration map
Here is a link that might be useful: 2009 Migration Map
Mid April is normal for them to start moving into NY State. Usually they come up the east coast and hit downstate first. Western NY is usually the last area to start seeing hummers. There are reports in the southtowns of Buffalo and quite a few sitings in central and Downstate. I am still waiting in Niagara County
The little devils usually make their presence known by dive bombing me and chittering at me until I get the feeders out. They are not shy at all about making their desires known, so it is never a mystery that they are back. They are very very late this year, but then so is everything!
I finally had my first sighting here (utica area) today; a female showed up at my window feeder. The males migrate first so they must have been here earlier. Last year, I had my first sighting around the 11th, so this is pretty much par for the course for me.
I usually put the feeders up as soon as I see the first reported sighting over the border from PA to NY to make sure there's something available for them while waiting for the flowers to bloom.

The rooms and the bathroom are very modern looking. If I would compare this to the other hotel, Conrad Hong Kong, I stayed I would say this is maybe a notch below Conrad in service and room decoration, perhaps the same room size.
OUTSTANDING LOCATION - You can walk underground to almost the harbor in case it is raining.
MTR Station is very convenient.
I got a harbor view room which was great. If you get a high enough floor you will have front view of the harbor.
There are many restaurants everywhere.
The place is spotless, bathroom is modern
- The only negative I can say about this hotel is that the shower door did not close properly so I always ended up with some water on the floor.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

"The adult client who makes the most progress with me is the one who desires a new life. In this new life, success outnumbers failure, hope exceeds fear, and confidence outweighs self-doubt. This client humbly accepts that new life requires giving up the old, negative, automatic narrative about what was done to me. In its place, the client realizes that a new narrative about who I want to be and do involves accepting full responsibility for the genesis of his/her thoughts, feelings and actions. In other words, the adult client who works best with me is willing to grow up.

Mary S. Brown
After suffering a series of strokes over seven years, which left her debilitated, Mary S. Brown mercifully succumbed to her "Old friend, waiting to wrap me in a 'Blanket of Peace' wafting me into the Great Unknown." Born on a farm in Saffordville, Kan. in 1916 she became determined to go to college at an early age and in 1942 she graduated from Kansas State. During that time she met her future husband, Paul Brown but they decided not to marry until the war was over. Mary taught high school home economics during the war and married Paul upon his return from the Pacific in 1945. In 1956 the Brown family of four piled into their brand new 1956 fire-engine red Chevy and moved to Bozeman where Paul worked as a soil scientist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. From that day forward the Bridgers became "her mountains."
Mary worked as the County Home Demonstration Agent, judging foods and sewing at the Winter Fair, and she was active in Methodist church activities. Each year, she and Paul cultivated a large vegetable garden (an ice rink by winter), she kept alive the art of canning, and in a 30 gallon steel drum buried near the back porch she stored carrots that stayed fresh and crisp through the winter and on into spring. The weekend after Thanksgiving, she and Paul hosted a "Christmas tree party" which saw seven families heading into the mountains to cut trees together, after which everyone gathered in the Brown's basement for a chili supper.
In 1968 Mary began pursuing a master's degree at MSU, graduating three years later with a perfect 4.0 GPA. After graduation she became the director of the Pilgrim Congregational Pre-School, a position she thoroughly enjoyed.
When Paul's work took him to Ft Benton, she moved away from "her mountains" for seven years, returning in 1983. Paul died in 2001. Mary was active with tax preparation at the Senior Center until her first stroke. In lucid moments she would say, "I'm ready to go" but her strong heart and warm countenance prevailed.
She is survived by her two sons, Douglas (Bellingham, Wash.) and Richard (Bozeman) and three grandsons: Spencer, Nicholas, and Julian. A memorial service will be held at the First Methodist Church in the spring.
