Information about Paris
About Paris
Get ready to fall in love with the "City of Lights" the minute you land at Charles de Gaulle International Airport – the largest of Paris airports. Dubbed one of the "big four" fashion capitals of the world, boasting some of the finest restaurants and home to four UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Paris is one of the most romantic and popular tourist destinations in the world.
Paris Neighborhoods
Located on the river Seine, Paris is the capital city of France. Whether you're visiting for a day, a week or a month, be prepared to spend every minute taking in the sights, smells and sounds of this gorgeous city. You can start with the iconic Eiffel Tower located in the 7th arrondissement or municipal district of Paris. Queues of people line up each day to get to all three levels of the city's tallest structure. You cannot leave Paris without a trip to the famous gothic Notre Dame Cathedral in the 4th Arrondissement or the church of Sainte-Chapelle in the 1st arrondissement in the Île de la Cité. The famous Panthéon Church is located in the 5th arrondissement and is the burial ground for a lot of French men and women.
Get those walking shoes out to cover the Axe historique - a line of buildings that slice through the center of the city and span east to west. You start at the Louvre and make your way to Tuileries Gardens, the Champs-Élysées, and finally the colossal Arc de Triomphe. The Champs-Élysées hosts all the big names in luxury – from Louis Vuitton to Guerlain and even Hôtel de La Païva – a historically famous Paris hotel. Paris is home to the Louvre, one of the world's largest and historically famous museums – located right in the heart of the city and flanked by a giant pyramid at its main entrance. Da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa lives here. Other Paris museums include the Picasso Museum and Rodin Museums as well as the National Museum for Modern Art - other significant contributions to Parisian art scene.
Things To Do in Paris

Or then simply settle down for a delicious meal at one of so many restaurants in Paris. Disneyland Paris is also a big tourist destination for all of Europe. And for all you sports enthusiasts, be it FIFA, Tour de France or the French Open – Paris has seen it all. Make a trip to the Stade de France, home to the country's first FIFA World Cup victory in 1998. Day trips to the Palace of Versailles or Monet's Garden in Giverny or a tour of the Champagne and Wine country in Reims, Epernay and Burgundy are all easy trips from Paris by train.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Alpine CDE-143BT by Ken Nail Why replace your factory radio? Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car. Talk hands-free and stream audio content You'll drive safer with Alpine's CDE-143BT CD receiver in your car, courtesy of its built-in Bluetooth®. When a call comes in, you'll see your caller's phone number on the screen, and you can answer the call by tapping the phone button on the front panel. You can adjust the mic's gain to best match your speaking voice, plus you can also tweak the phone output and ring volume, so you won't go diving for the volume knob every time someone calls.The CDE-143BT also supports Bluetooth audio streaming, so you can listen to any of the content on your Bluetooth equipped smartphone without a tangle of wires on your car's console. Enjoy iPod control, Bluetooth, and great sound with the CDE-143BT. Easy access to your iPod® and iPhone® music content Once you plug into the convenient front-panel USB input, you can use the CDE-143BT's controls to navigate your iPod's music library. Your riders will appreciate Passenger Control Mode, which lets them play DJ while you focus on driving. You can adjust your sound to taste with one of the ten equalizer presets or by using the 3-band parametric EQ. App Direct Mode for music apps Plug in your iPhone and you can also listen to some of your favorite music apps, like Pandora®, Rhapsody, and others with Alpine's App Direct Mode. You'll have basic control of music functions playback functions, such as play, pause, and next track from receiver, while you use your iPhone's touchscreen to other functions of the music apps. Want to keep your steering wheel controls? In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Alpine stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Alpine, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters. Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities.

Volume: There are two volume (system) modes for the unit's subwoofer output. System 1: Subwoofer level changes according to the main volume setting. System 2: Subwoofer level change is different from the main volume setting (0-15); even at low volume settings, the subwoofer is still audible. Low Pass Filter: The unit's subwoofer output low-pass filter can be set to 60Hz, 80Hz, 120Hz, 160Hz, or Off (through). Subwoofer Phase: The subwoofer output phase can be set to Normal (0°) or Reverse (180°). High Pass Filter: The Alpine head unit is equipped with a high-pass filter for its speaker-level output and front-channel preamp output (when activated). You can set the unit's high-pass filter to 60Hz, 80Hz, 120Hz, 160Hz, or Off (through). Preset EQ: You can select from 11 different EQ presets to get the best sound from all your sources. You can choose from Flat, Pops, Rock, News, Jazz, Electric Dance, Hip-Hop, Easy Listening, Country, Classical, or User. 3-Band Parametric Equalizer: The User Preset activates the head unit's 3-Band Parametric Equalizer for a better sound response curve. Bass, Mid, & Treble can be adjusted in the 3-Band Parametric mode. 3-Band EQ Frequency Q-Factor Level Bass 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, or 120Hz Wide 0.5, Medium 1.0, Medium 1.5, or Narrow. 2.0 -7 to +7 (+/-14dB in 2dB steps) Midrange 500Hz, 1.0kHz, 1.5kHz, or 2.5kHz Wide 0.75, Medium 1.0, Medium 1.25, or Narrow 1.5 -7 to +7 (+/-14dB in 2dB steps) Treble 7.5kHz, 10kHz, 12.5kHz, or 15kHz Wide 0.75 or Narrow 1.25 -7 to +7 (+/-14dB in 2dB steps) Note: The units stores independent EQ settings for each source (Disc, Tuner, Aux, USB, iPod, and Bluetooth). Loudness: Loudness introduces a special low and high frequency emphasis at low listening levels to compensate for the ear's decreased sensitivity to bass and treble sound at low volume. Media Xpander: Alpine's exclusive Media Xpander is engineered to bring out the musical details lost in compressed media, and it is adjustable per source to get the most out of your digital audio media. The Media Expander makes vocals or instruments sound distinct regardless of the music source. The FM radio, CD, USB, iPod/iPhone, Bluetooth, and Aux-input will be able to reproduce the music more clearly even in vehicles with a lot of road noise. Source Volume Level: The output level of each source is individually adjustable from -14 to + 14 dB. Display Features Detachable Face: The unit features a single front loading CD face that detaches from the chassis to deter theft. A hard plastic face case is provided to store the detachable faceplate. An optional soft face case (142DFC1X, sold separately) can also be purchased for this unit. A face-fixing screw is supplied for making the face non-detachable, if desired. 1-Line LCD Display: This unit is equipped with a 1-Line white-backlit LCD, so you can easily view AM/FM stations, CD-Text, and ID-3/WMA tag information. Text Display: Text information, such as the disc name and the track name, will be displayed if playing a CD text compatible disc. It is also possible to display the folder name, the file name, and the tag information, while playing a MP3/WMA disc. Text Scroll: This unit can scroll the disc and track names recorded on CD-Text disc, as well as the text information of MP3/WMA files, folder names, and tags. There are two Text Scroll settings. Auto: The CD text information, the information of folder and file names, and the tags are scrolled automatically. Manual: The display is scrolled when a disc is loaded or when a track is changed. Auto Dimmer: This unit is equipped with an illumination lead (orange); when the unit's dimmer mode is set to Auto and the illumination lead is connected to your vehicle's headlight circuit, the display and button illumination will dim to a fixed, preset level whenever the headlights are turned on. If preferred, you may choose the Manual dimmer mode setting, so the display and button illumination is dim at all times. Demo Mode: This unit has a demonstration feature for its display which can be turned On or Off in the menu. Remote Control Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features an OEM steering wheel remote control input on the rear of the unit that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately). Please consult Crutchfield's Outfit My Car to see if your vehicle is compatible. Optional Wireless Remote: The Alpine CDE-143BT is wireless remote control ready.

Overall I am satisfied with this head unit. I was really disappointed with the fact that I have to make it connect to bluetooth on my phone manually every time I get in my truck, but maybe that's just me. I was really hoping that it would automatically do so, seeing as how my friends older Alpine radio does this flawlessly.. but regardless I'm a fan of the sound quality that this unit provides, the controls are fairly user friendly, and it doesn't look bad. Pros: Good sound quality, decent looks, not bad for the money Cons: Bluetooth function leaves much to be desired in my experience as it doesn't automatically sync with my phone when the radio turns on. Crutchfield response on Tuesday, October 28, 2014 Our Tech Support team has reached out to Samuel to help him solve the auto-connect problem.

This Alpine Stereo was an outstanding purchase. The sound quality is excellent. It was fairly easy to install and I did not have to make any modifications for it to fit into my 2004 Trailblazer EXT.

This receiver/CD player has an excellent tuner w/digital read-out. Built-in 15W amplifier creates much better sound from factory Ford speakers(soon to be replaced)... almost like hearing old songs for the first time. Plays my iPod through the USB port while offering expanded selection modes. Easy to install w/Crutchfield kit... and a good deal. Pros: Great tuner, excellent sound fidelity, converts rear speakers to subs in base mode, install kit a perfect fit. Cons: Controls are complex but instructional CD is a big help. Functions operation is a learning curve. Was this review helpful? Yes | No

Mike du Jour is, according to Lester, the rare triple entendre: the main character's name, the artist's own name and an honest description of the strip. "Like the freedom of a chef designing a menu every day based on what's fresh, MDJ is whatever fresh idea I can cook up," he says.
Mike (the character) is an autobiographical composite. He's "a combination of Walter Mitty, Buster Keaton and moi. He's single, a bit of a loner and a situational counterpuncher, heavyweight division," Lester adds. Mike works in a generic office environment known as Big Bottom Line Inc., and since he and his co-workers don't have enough problems, they invent them. "Office work is boring," says Lester, "or so they tell me."

Campus observatory plans Jan. 1 'open house' to launch International Year of Astronomy
December 19, 2008
DEARBORN / Dec. 19, 2008---University of Michigan-Dearborn astronomers gathered color images of planetary nebulae earlier this fall, the first color images collected through the campuss new observatory and telescope
Color imaging is important not only because we can make pretty pictures, but the color of an object can tell us something about the physical processes taking place in the object, according to Carrie Swift, assistant professor of astronomy.
Planetary nebulae form during the later stages of stellar evolution, and are comprised of the gases that once made up the stellar atmosphere, according to Swift. In the center of the nebula the hot core of the star remains, pumping energy into the surrounding gas, which causes the gas to glow.
The top photo is an image of the Ring Nebula, a planetary nebula found in the constellation Lyra. The different colored bands reflect the energy of the gas in those regions; the inner green band is hotter than the outer red band, according to Swift. The central star in the Ring Nebula is very dim, and hard to see in this image.
The bottom photo is an image of the Dumbbell Nebula, a planetary nebula found in the constellation Vulpecula, a small constellation near Cygnus. In this image you can clearly see the blue, hot central star, and in the upper left, the red leading edge of the expanding gas, Swift said. Like most planetary nebulae, the Dumbbell Nebula has a region of emitting an eerie green light, which is emitted by doubly ionized oxygen. The oxygen was formed by the star in the violent later stages of its lifetime, and now glows in the stars dying light.
These images were made by student Rebecca Wilczak, assisted by Swift and research assistant Eric Rasmussen, using the campuss 0.4 m telescope, an ST-402 CCD camera and RGB color filters. They are posted at the observatorys site at astronomy.umd.umich.edu/images.html.
The UM-Dearborn observatory, which opened earlier this year, will be hosting a free, public open house to celebrate the beginning of the International Year of Astronomy from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Jan 1. The open house will include tours of the observatory and include opportunities for observation, weather allowing.
