I have a hand-carved barometer that is not in working condition. It's 30 inches tall and is thought to be from Germany. What can you tell me about its history and value? Thank you. - L.M. A: Barometers are based on the principle that decreasing atmospheric pressure is an indication of bad weather to come.

The Emilia Romagna region and it's capital city, Bologna, are well known for their cuisine, agricultural products, treasures from antiquity, the Renaissance and the world's most desired automobiles and motorcycles. Many claim this is the best food in Italy, so it's quite proper to begin a visit to this gastronomic heaven with a plate of pasta. I do, and it is a memorable dish at Zingaro in Faenza: cappellacci al formaggio di fossa con pomodoro fresco e spinaci, a ravioli-like pasta filled with fresh tomatoes and spinach and a three-month-old cheese that developed in Sogliano al Rubicone. Sogliano, like Faenza, and the city of Ravenna, are in the province of Ravenna. The pasta was preceded by other great products of the region: prosciutto of Parma, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and salami.

On a windy day last week, I steered my work computer to my son's Web page on weatherlink.com, where I learned that there had been a 29 mph gust of wind in my backyard at 10:20 a.m. From 20 miles away, I could see that it was 48.7 degrees just 20 feet from my home's back door, with 58 percent outdoor humidity. Welcome to the addictive world of home weather stations. The units have ballooned in popularity and sophistication in recent years, serving an obsessive fan base that is not content with just local TV station's forecasts, radio's "weather on the eights" or even The Weather Channel.
