Alpinestars has introduced the current evolution of its Tech-Air electronic, wireless, airbag system into the MotoGP World Championship. This is the only rider airbag system in racing that offers extended protection, covering the shoulders, full back, torso sides and hips with a unique one-piece airbag design.
The result of on-going research and development, since Alpinestars commenced its rider airbag protection project over twelve years ago, sees all Alpinestars MotoGP riders equipped with an airbag that is now eight times greater in volume than the previous generation. This new airbag design, in development for two years, has resulted in a compact, ultra-lightweight and entirely self-contained safety system that offers the most advanced and comprehensive protection possible.
The system features a powerful micro-processor, powered by an internal battery that is connected to an inflator module housed within a compact, shock-proof, casing inside the suit. A one-piece, ergonomically profiled airbag, constructed using a unique 3-D weave technology which has no stitched seams is secured within the leather race suit ensuring excellent fit and comfort for the rider.
While riding, the Tech-Air system monitors the riders movements and the forces experienced, processing data every 2 milliseconds. In the case of a loss of control, the system is capable of making the decision to fire the airbag and have it fully inflated within 50 milliseconds. The speed, sensitivity and reliability of the system has proved to be such that full airbag inflation is consistently well in advance of initial impact, even during low-side crashes.
Tech-Air Airbag System – Technical Specification
- Unique, all-in-one airbag, developed by Alpinestars using a highly advanced 3-D weave. The production process is entirely computer controlled with no human interaction and no stitching processes. The ergonomic body shaping is created with a precision laser cutter and the inflation profile is engineered to create an exact body contour following fit. This ensures protection is maximized with accurate positioning throughout an impact sequence.
- The airbag is designed to optimize protection around the rider's body with sections allowing specific inflation volumes over each area of the body: shoulders – high volume, back – medium volume, torso sides – high volume, hips – medium volume.
- Alpinestars' in-house developed micro-processor constantly monitors the rider's movements while in motion via sensors located on the arms, legs and processor housing within the suit.
- The Tech-Air System features a switch on the master control unit which, when placed to 'ON', allows the sensing system to be brought into 'active' mode.
- The system automatically moves into 'armed' mode when the sensors detect that rider is seated on a motorcycle and moving at low speed. This prevents any chance of the airbag being deployed at times when protection is not required.
- A compact battery pack powers the Tech-Air system and offers over 8 hours duration in full 'active' and 'armed' mode; i.e. 8 hours riding time. In standby mode, when the system is only 'active', the battery will retain charge for over several weeks. Recharging can be carried out through normal mains power using the connector at the top of the master control unit.
- Once the micro-processor is 'active' and sensing, it is sampling data from each of the sensors within the suit every 2 milliseconds. In 'armed' mode, when the rider is moving at speed on a bike, the micro-processor samples the sensor data for any irregularities in rider movement or external forces acting upon the rider. These irregularities are defined by algorithms which Alpinestars has developed, and control the micro-processor commands.
- If these prediction parameters, in relation to what the algorithms define as a crash, are exceeded, the micro-processor will initiate the inflation of the airbag. The inflation trigger time is around 8 milliseconds. (This is the time taken to process data during the rider's initial loss of control, ensuring the situation indicated a crash).
- Upon deployment, the inflation system releases a cold, pressurized, Nitrogen-based gas mix with the aid of a small pyrotechnic charge that fully inflates the airbag within 45 milliseconds.
- Typically, the predictive performance of the Alpinestars Tech Air system protects the rider with a fully inflated airbag well in advance of the first impact with the track/road surface, even in low-side accident situations.
- Once inflated, the airbag offers over 5 seconds of full inflation protection to the rider before beginning to deflate. This ensures a prolonged, highly effective impact absorption barrier for both clavicles and shoulders, the full back, torso sides and both hips during any fall the rider may suffer.
- The Tech-Air Race leather suit has specifically engineered expansion zones to accommodate the airbag in its fully inflated state. (The airbag remains completely contained within the leather suit).
- Once deflation commences, the airbag fully discharges, allowing the leather suit to return to its normal fit and feel.
- The Tech-Air system records all data collected in the central processor unit allowing full diagnostic analysis of the rider's movements and the forces experienced during any given session.
- The battery which powers the micro-processor is installed in the aerodynamic hump on the back of the suit and can be recharged in the same way as a mobile telephone.
- A series of LED's on the left forearm of the suit informs the rider of the current status of the system and warns of low battery power, any sensor irregularity and the sensing status of the system, i.e. 'active' and/or 'armed'.
Comments on the new Tech-Air Technology:
Dani Pedrosa:
"The new suit I am using for the 2014 Championship has been re-designed to include the specially developed new airbag system which provides more protection coverage; from the shoulders down to the ribs and even down over the hips. I started using the new system in testing last year at Valencia and the feeling, comfort and flexibility has been improved with the new suit design. Overall I feel it is a clear step forward."
Marc Marquez:
"The new airbag is comfortable and no different in feeling to the last one, even though it is bigger. It is also good that the weight feels the same and there's more protection so I'm happy with the development."
Cal Crutchlow:
"The technology is impressive and gives me more confidence but, hopefully, I will not have to put it to the test. Alpinestars are always at the forefront when it comes to new technologies and adapting to this new airbag suit has been easy, especially considering the safety benefits it offers."
Project Background:
Alpinestars started working on active airbag safety technology for motorcycling in 2001. Since then, the project has continuously developed to become a state-of-the-art, fully electronically operated and completely wireless airbag system which provides comprehensive body protection for Alpinestars athletes in top level road racing.
Over the years of testing, a massive amount of real time data has been collected from which complex algorithms have been derived to manage the launch control process, with software optimized for both track and road environments.
Following early laboratory proving, John Hopkins became the first Alpinestars rider to use an active data logging system on track at the 2003 German MotoGP and extensive testing and development has continued ever since. By 2007, when Casey Stoner was using the system, the power of the electronics had improved dramatically allowing the recording of various physical inputs which helped create a detailed electronic picture of the dynamic forces involved in riding and most importantly, crashing a motorcycle.
By 2010, Alpinestars riders in MotoGP were equipped with a fully functional Electronic Airbag System, Tech-Air. Incorporating shoulder protection airbags within the leather race suit, the reliability, speed and functionality of the system was clearly demonstrated by its performance in Marc Marquez's accident at Mugello, during practice for the 2013 Italian Grand Prix. Crashing at over 200 mph, the Tech-Air airbags were fully inflated before Marc's first impact with the ground and he suffered no serious injury.
As well as the high level of sensitivity and speed of performance offered by Tech-Air, Alpinestars' patented a unique dual charge system. This innovation offered the rider two airbag inflations without needing to reset or recharge the system.
Continuous research and development of electronics, algorithm performance and airbag design has led to further improvements in performance and protection. In 2013, during post season testing, Alpinestars introduced a completely re-designed airbag offering extensive body protection. Tech-Air now incorporates active protection of not only shoulders but also full back, side torso, ribs and hips.
For the 2014 race season, the Tech-Air electronic airbag program will equip all Alpinestars MotoGP riders with this extensive body protection system which constantly samples electronic data, every 2 milliseconds and is capable of detecting an accident situation and fully deploying its airbag within 50 milliseconds.
Since its inception, the program has gone through many stages of development with the key milestones being:
- 2001; the creation of a functional, airbag system as a proof of concept.
- 2001 onwards; medical and accident statistical research into injury causes and computer simulation of active prevention covering crucial anatomy most susceptible to crash damage.
- 2003; development of the launch control component and data logging capability.
- 2003; the introduction of analysis tools to scrutinize the large amount of real time data acquired by the highly advanced AST (Alpinestars - Advanced Safety Technology) data logging systems.
- 2004 onwards; ongoing development of the airbag system based on test data, rider feedback and continuous refinement of electronics and sensing components.
- 2009 onwards; testing of the full, active, system with MotoGP and WSBK riders, as well as road riders to fine tune the activation parameters of the airbags for both the racetrack and road.
- 2011; market launch of a customer version of Tech-Air using the same technology in Alpinestars MotoGP program.
- 2013; MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez crashes, without injury, in practice for the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello at over 200 mph. Tech-Air detects the loss of control after 0.025 seconds and is fully inflated 0.030 seconds before Marc's first impact with the ground.
- 2013 – 2014: Current development of Tech-Air airbag system use begins in MotoGP and throughout pre-season tests in February and March 2014 with all Alpinestars MotoGP riders. Now providing extensive body protection, the airbag covers not only the upper body, but also the rider's full back, chest, sides and hips.

Poor and hungry visitors to paris
- d
- destitute gourmet Mar 28, 2009 07:14 PM
Hey chow hounders - hoping you can help us out. We are traveling to Paris next week with our kids - age 14 and 16. We're New Zealanders en route to the UK. Our NZ dollars go NOWHERE when converted to Euro's. I've read the blogs on brasseries and Bistros but think thats going to be too expensive for the 4 of us. My kids are eaters - very keen on patisserie, charcuterie and bread...We are staying right in the tourist centre near the louvre in a cheapy hotel. We'll need to buy all our meals for 4 days - I'm thinking we can do pastries or macaroons for breakfast, crepes for lunch ( have copied the threads on good cheap crepes - if there are any more suggestions I'm eager to read them) and buy fruit and bread... No idea what to do about dinner and have skinny teenage boy who is always hungry. Don't want to waste our hard earned savings by going to some dumb tourist place when I know there is superb patisserie, cheese etc out there.
Please help us - all suggestions appreciated - specially with directions from city centre!!! There are some threads about morroccan food that sound really good - can we easily get to those areas from city centre? We've never been before and its hard to get a sense of where these places are in relation to where we are staying - Hotel Pontpensier, Rue de Richelieu.
Thanks for your time.
A few recommendations- visit the rue du buci market on the left bank- they have fresh and prepared foods that are outstanding and not too expensive. Do some research, there are several open air markets and they are great places to buy cheese, wine, cold cuts (which are wonderful) and prepared goods. Also, you are not too far from the galerie lafayette, which has an entire floor of food - huge, huge selection. A lot of prepared dishes, not quite as cheap as the outdoor markets, but quite reasonable. A nice splurge would be Fauchons, they have prepared food that is a bit pricier but top rate. Their breakfast pastries, especially their savory madeleines, are great. Also, they have salted caramels, a unique french candy.
Two restaurants fit your bill - La table de fes is on 5 rue saint beuve, not too far from saint germaine du pres, but hard to find - make sure to print off a google map. They have great, inexpensive couscous. Huge portions, get one lamb tagine and 2 vegetable couscous dishes to split between 4 people. don't bother with the appetisers. A corny favorite of mine that is somewhat reasonable and is near you is La Souffle. What is the point of going to Paris without trying a soufle, they have main course and dessert ones. It isn't cheap but I remember it as being reasonable. But in general, middle eastern and north african food may be the way to go.
One of the places that we plan on trying is L'as du falafel. They are known for hearty and delicious falafel and are located in the Marais.
My husband and I have also been trying to eat more frugally, and we have "discovered" the Cafe (cafeteria, really) on the mezzanine at the Louvre. It is not really chowhound-worthy, I suppose, but last Sunday we had a sumptuous lunch of braised ham with creamed cauliflower and green beans, for 8,90 euros each, plus wine. They also offer a salad bar, a selection of pizzas, charcuterie and cheese plates, and desserts. At any rate, you can fill up on fairly good food at cheap prices. A bit like eating in a school cafeteria in terms of ambience, though.
I like the advice Phyllis Cohen gives here...
re: hychka
thanks all, I'd already taken on board phyllis cohens sensible suggestions but good to re read them. . I've marked out a couple of markets that we can walk to and will google map la table de fes and Fauchons. If too wet to walk to the market we'll do the cafeteria.
Thank you so much!!! I can hardly wait.
re: destitute gourmet
You're near rue Ste-Anne which has a lot of cheap-ish Japanese noodle restaurants. Higuma at 32bis rue Ste-Anne is popular, cheap and hearty.
re: Cookingthebooks
Second that. Also Jujiya at 46 or 48 is an excellent Japanese fast-food.
re: Cookingthebooks
higuma is our favorite cheap noodle joint. usually a line out the door but it moves pretty fast
If you're budget conscious, just don't eat or drink out in Paris. It's never, never a good deal.
And stay away from luxury shops such as Fauchon, and fake affordable places like La Table de Fes (an excellent couscous, at 35€ pp for the couscous itself).
The only way to eat out for cheap is to go Asian (and not even in your neighborhood). Even sitting for a coffee will easily cost you 3€ at least in the center of town. Au Dernier Métro last saturday, we ate and drank for 28€pp and felt like it was dirt cheap, which it was.
Your friends are the supermarkets (esp. Monoprix), the cheese shops, the bakers, the markets, the butchers.... Try crepes if you like but they're really not that great anywhere in Paris.
How long are you staying? Get in touch if you'd like some help shopping (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Close to you is Julien, the baker (rue Saint Honoré). There's also the market on rue Montorgueil, very exciting.
re: souphie
Souphie, that was a very generous offer you made (to a CH family with the ravenous teenager going to Paris). Because I work all over the world and am normally not a tourist and don't like spending in restaurants in expensive cities (prefer to spend at home on my daughter), your advice is very close to what I do: try to find markets, bakeries, grocery stores, and more with good, healthy, plentiful foods at affordable prices.
As you are Kiwi's I would avoid Asian food in Paris. Whilst I understand it has got better over the last few years it isn't going to be near the quality you can get in NZ (same applies to the UK).
The food shops are really good, and so you can get lots of good stuff for picnics etc may still be chilly (or should that be Chully) though....!
It may be good to try and eat big meals at lunchtimes, many places have low cost set menus and if you avoid lots of extras (coffee, bottled water, etc) these can be economic. Always ask for tap water - it is good quality and free.
Don't miss spending some of those hard earned $$ on a couple of decent meals, it is part of the experience of Paris. Try at least one old Brasserie (Bofinger is central), a good bistro (Chez l'ami Jean in the 7eme), and a street cafe for lunch or early evening people watching, Le Philosophes (28, rue Vieille du Temple, in the Marais) is good and not that expensive. Another Marais restaurant that is fun and cheapish, popular with students and young professionals is Chez Janou (2 rue Roger Velomme 2eme). Try the absinthe at least once....!
re: jock
Thanks again, we Kiwis (or Koywoy's if you want to sound like a local) are accustomed to superb asian food, I buy fresh noodles at my corner store and choose from 9 asian food stores within 10 minutes walk from my home. Everyone here eats sushi, thai, Korean .. While the north african stuff may not be the "cheapest" choice, it will be a novelty for us and being in Paris eating sushi and noodles just seems wrong somehow. I've been talking to the kids for weeks about pastries and baguettes and soft cheese and fab sausages...
So far the plan is to go to the markets on Sunday - I believe Marche de Cler is open and on google map is only 35 min walk - will be good after flying. If its pouring with rain will do the cafeteria at the louvre as suggested and try to buy some supplies at supermarket. Next day is Eurodisney - kids insisted! so plan to stuff ourselves before we go, will need a patiserrie near rue de Richelieu. May try one of the restaurants you've recommended that night - depending on how late. Next day we are sightseeing - maybe try Marche le enfant rouge - did I get that right? and will follow up other recomendations. We only have a couple of days so trying to make the most of it. Thanks for the kind offer souphie, hope we'll be able to manage but very kind of you.
re: destitute gourmet
Montorgueil is much closer than Cler and probably a little less expensive. Certainly as good, maybe better for your needs. go east on Petite Champs which becomes Etienne Marcel. Follow Etienne Marcel to Montorgueil
There is a patisserie on Richelieu just off Petite Champs but IMO it is not very good at all. One of the best patissieres in Paris is Stoher on Montorgueil. Closer and much better than the one on Richelieu is la Vide Gousset located just off the Place Victories on Petis Peres. Just a little farther down Rue de Mail is the closest Franprix.
re: jock
jock beat me to it!
We have leased apartments near Cler and Montorgueil and love both. But, Montorgueil is certainly closer to you and, from my memory, more extensive. You will have no problem packing up for EuroDisney...other than selecting exactly from a myriad of wonderful choices!
re: destitute gourmet
One other thought. This may seem odd, but if you want to explore French wine you could do worse than heading for a wine-bar owned by a fellow Kiwi (Drew Harre) and his business partner Juan Sanchez (US). It is called "Fish" (69 rue de Seine 7eme) and if you are lucky Hayden (another Kiwi) will be behind the bar.
When we moved to Paris he was very good at educating us on French wines, especially as most of our knowledge was based on Aus/NZ single varietals. They sell lots of wines by the glass and generally take the trouble to explain the wine.
It is also a good restaurant. It tends to blend new world simplicity with French techniques even though the chef is English. Set menus are about €35 a head for three courses. Great food but maybe not different enough to NZ to fit into a Paris agenda. If you want to eat you must book as it is very popular most days.
It takes some effort to eat cheaply and well in Paris, but it can be done. You've got the right idea of bakeries, crepes from a stand, and street markets for picnics.
Hre are a few more general tips, which I learned during my months in Paris as a dirt-poor student and honed with later visits as an exchange-rate-poor American. (Apologies if any tips are out-of-date - it has been 7 years since I've been to Paris...)
- For a break from crepes, try a bakery sandwich for lunch. Some bakeries also have salads and baked items, like quiche, which are warmed up when you order.
- To find a good bakery, look for the word "artisanale" on the door or window. That means they make their products themselves, rather than buying prepared dough or pastries from a central supply kitchen (which is depressingly common).
- For a great picnic, pick up a roast chicken from a rôtisseur - there's always one at or near a street market. Add a prepared salad from a supermarket (or cooked dishes from a traiteur), some street-market finds like fruit and cheese, a bottle of wine, and dessert from pâtisserie or chocolate shop. You won't feel at all deprived!
Here's a good list of Paris markets:
I like the Place Monge market and the Bastille market on Blvd Richard Lenoir, but they're a ways from your hotel. The Marche des Enfants Rouge is closer and features traiteurs, rôtisseurs, and even a place that does couscous to go!
- To maximize your restaurant funds, look for the daily set meal ("menu" or "formule") so you can get two or three courses for a modest price. It'll be cheaper at lunch - you can always have a "hotel picnic" for dinner.
- In a restaurant, ask for "un carafe d'eau" or "l'eau de robinet" (tap water) with your meal. It's free, unlike bottled water. If you want wine, you can usually ask for house wine by the verre (glass), quart (quarter-litre), demi-pichet, or pichet ("jug"). For pronunciation and other tips, see Rick Steves' tips in the link below.
- I'd skip the big brasseries - they're expensive. But you could go for a drink or snack to soak up the atmosphere. (Note: Brasseries are open all afternoon, but most other restaurants close between lunch and dinner.) Instead, I'd head for a hole-in-the-wall place like Le Temps de Cerises - lunch only, with a "formule" for as little as 14,50. It's not that far from your hotel - near the Bastille, just past the Marais (which is worth walking through, anyway). See these threads for info on the food:
- To navigate, get a free metro map at any metro ticket booth (ask for "un plan de metro, svp"). But Paris is small and made for walking. Metro stops are usually quite close to one another, so I prefer to get out and walk when ever possible. And get a "Plan de Paris" map book at a news stand - I think the little blue "l'indispensable" guide is worth its weight in gold.
For more good tips, see:
ParisLogue's tips for eating on the cheap:
David Lebovitz's eight money-saving tips:
Rick Steves' tips for exchange-rate-stricken Americans
(But use caution with his restaurant recommendations; the central ones, especially near the Tour Eiffel, are often overrun by USians.)
And this chowhound thread:
Have a great time in Paris, and please eat a croissant for me!
Bon voyage,
re: AnneInMpls
I'm ignorant when it comes to most (99%) of Europe. Wish I knew you and souphie prior to very brief stints in Paris.
re: Sam Fujisaka
Sam, let me know the next time you head to Paris. I love researching food for other people - it almost makes up for not being there myself.
re: AnneInMpls
I forgot my main tip: Use PetitFute.com to research cheap eats. It's the online version of the Petit Futé guidebook, which is my favorite resource for Paris (the name means little fox or minx - i.e., clever one). It's been 7 years, but my recollection is that the restaurant info is solid.
If you don't read French, skim for good prices for a "formule" or "menu" (set dinner). And look for terms like "bon marché" (good value; i.e., cheap), "prix doux" (sweet, aka low, prices), "à volonté" (all you can eat), and "bon rapport qualité-prix," (good value for the money). Or you could use an online translator, but they use a lot of slang that gets butchered in the process. (It's rather fun, actually!)
As far as couscous is concerned, surely there's something cheaper than Table de Fès - I mean, 35 E for couscous?!?!? And, according to this review, they won't let two people share one order.
I got inspired to search PetitFute.com for couscous and found these possibilities, though I haven't tried any of them myself. (Has anyone else tried the places below?)
First, this amazing bargain. Note that it's quite a trek from your hotel, but would bring you to an interesting and non-touristy area.
- Restaurant Les 4 Frères (11th arronissement; M° - metro stop - Ménilmontant)
Plat du jour for 5,90 and couscous for 6,90. No decor, no fancy dishes, and no alcohol (it's an Algerian place), but hey - mint tea is cheaper anyway. To get there from your hotel, take the metro's yellow line, then transfer at Nation to the blue line.
Note this recommendation from the reliable Chez Pim:
Other couscous places I found on PetitFute.com
- Chez Katy (1st arrondissement; M° Louvre)
It's near your hotel, and Petit Fute says it's some of the best couscous in Paris, with menus starting at 16 Euros (couscous around 15-27).
- Darkoum (2nd arrondissement; M° Quatre-Septembre)
Couscous is between 15 - 23 Euros.
- Chicha Cafe (3rd arrondissement; M: Filles-du-Calvaire)
Couscous starting at 15,50, and a lunchtime "formule" for 12 E.
- Founti Agadir (5th; M° Censier-Daubenton)
Lunchtime formules for 16 & 19 ; about 25 à la carte.
- Le Mechoui du Prince (6th; M° Odéon)
Lunchtime couscous "formule" for 9,50, and dinner couscous for 19.
Bone appétit (as my dog would say :-),
re: AnneInMpls
thanks Anne, I'll not only eat a croissant for you I'll also eat a Mille Feullie, a Macaron, some fromage, and anything else I can manage to pronounce.
Will post my experiences on my website when I return. www.destitutegourmet.com
Thank you all for your time and input
Thanks for starting this thread, destitute gourmet and I hope you don't mind me piggy backing on your thread. My DH and I will also be in Paris from april 20-25 and are looking for cheap food options since it's costing us an arm and a leg to get there and stay there and attend a conference! Alas, the Caanadian dollar doen't fare too well against the Euro either. We are staying near Porte Maillot. Are there any markets and other good deals near us? I don`t know Paris at all and it's hard to judge from looking at maps how close we are to the places mentionned. i am afraid because we are near the convention center and touristy areas, we won't fare well. Any help appreciated.
re: hungryann
Not as familiar with Maillot and some areas but you are not too far from Rue Poncelet which is one of the best market rues. It is east on Rue Ternes toward Place des Ternes.
re: jock
Ethnic places and make it yourself meals from the markets are a great way to keep the costs down. You also might want to get Pudlo's Paris reviews. It includes not only fine dining, but neighborhood places and features a section on best values. It is arranged by district so we reviewed it each day as we made our plans. We particularly enjoyed the Cafe des Musees in the Marais. Great steak frite and very reasonable prices. As someone else said, don't go the the overadvertised brassieres like Bofinger. We made the mistake of going there - tourist trap where they treat you poorly and have mediocre seafood - I am sure you can get much better at home. Way overpriced for the quality.
re: wallygirl
Re: Bofinger. On re-reading my post I should have been clearer. IMO a visit to Paris is as much about the unique experience of eating and drinking in Paris as it is about the quality of food on the plate. It would be a shame for any visitor to Paris to miss out on the "dining experiences" because they were focussed simply on value.
A big Deco/Nouveau Brasserie of the type that is replicated across the world would always be on my list for a visitor, although as a resident I rarely went to then because I could get better meals elsewhere. It is the same as sitting on a cafe terrace in a ritzy part of town and watching the glamourous people walk by, certainly you will save money by sipping a beer/coffee inside and standing at the bar...but isn't sitting on a terrace in the sunshine in a beautiful part of Paris what memories are made of?
re: hungryann
You are pretty far to the west end of town, very nice, btw. ..close to Bois de Boulogne, a very big and attractive park. Try using Google Earth (earth.google.com) and plug in your address and then some of the places mentioned in this thread to get an idea of where things are relative to your place. Be sure to visit Muse'e Marmottan-Claude Monet @ 2 rue Louis-Boilly, walking distance south of your place. Maybe someone else would comment on the restaurants in Bois de Boulogne as I've only walked by...never eaten in that end of town.
re: hychka
None of them is for people on a budget. Plus, some are pretty bad.
re: souphie
Yikes, as I suspected. We will have to do some serious planning with our sightseeing. the Metro Card is obviously a must.
re: hungryann
One last question from the kiwi destitute gourmet here - packing our bags now with great excitement having just Googled Bowfinger (Wow, thanks Jock for the recomendation).
Tips - what do we do about tips, who do we tip and how muc?. In NewZealand tips are not part of our culture, no one tips (except tourists) so I'm at a loss. Do we tip at the hotel? do we tip waiters (even surly ones in long white aprons?) Taxi drivers? Don't want to be un- generous just because we are unfamiliar.
Also want to say thanks again to all of you for taking the time to share your suggestions. I now have a sheaf of papers, google maps and a raging appetite! I was worried that we'd be in Paris but never manage to "make contact", just be tourists looking but not experiencing- I'm sure you know what I mean. Now I'm confident that we'll really get the most out of our few days and my kids will have their "small Island" world view changed forever. Thanks Jock, Souphie, Hungryann, Hychka, Phill et al
re: destitute gourmet
it is not dissimilar to NZ - tourists probably tip more than locals.
In taxis round up to the nearest €, so €8.50 become €9. After a cafe meal leave a few € coin (one or two) no need to do a % as the service charge is already included in the bill - the coins(s) is simply a token indicating you received good service.

Have you installed a toolbar or something? Some get installed when you installed other software. Also, what browser do you use? And does "Note.com" open at startup of the browser?
The pages opened on startup can be easily edited:
1. Go to the settings of your Internet-Browser. Try to find the place where you can select which pages will be opened on startup.
2. Change it.
3. Done!
Note.com is also not a used domain right now. As you may see; the page tries to sell you the domain. This means that the domain is registered, but not used currently.
I don't think Note.com is a bad site. By Googlin' it you get the text: You found note.com, so will your customers. It's a great label for your website and will help you define your identity on the Web.
Also; My Norton Antivirus doesn't report it as bad.
Hope this helps!

The question to me is not whether it is good or bad but how did I get something I didn't want or ask for. Remove it at all cost if you don't want it. I got a new search engine last week when downloading a program I wanted. I indicated I didn't want to add the search engine but it still downloaded and installed. I removed it and will never use it no mater how good it is.

That way, when it comes time to spin the tubes in the centrifuge, we can tell the level so they can be balanced. We found that the lavender-top tubes and tiger-top tubes are packaged upright on Styrofoam trays. So we cut the trays to create a flower shape and then wrap the trays in Vetwrap (3M) to keep them from falling apart. The flower-shaped tube holders have been helpful, especially since we test a lot of blood and we can now keep each patient's blood in an individual holder. Stephanie Alameda, CVT Dover, N.H.

what to buy
The North Face Cat's Meow is a classic sleeping bag for casual campers. Lightweight and durable, its synthetic fill allows for a comfortable night's sleep in mild temperatures, even when the weather is wet.
Quick-drying. The North Face Cat's Meow sleeping bag is a reviewer favorite. On the market for more than 10 years, the bag continues to get good reviews from backpackers for its light weight. "Packs great into the kayak for overnighters, too," one Buzzillions.com contributor says. Its synthetic Climashield fill dries quickly after exposure to moisture and retains users' body heat even when wet.
One Trailspace.com contributor says it's a good option for wet, warm climates where you otherwise would use a down-filled. However, many report the bag not meeting its 20-degree Fahrenheit rating. Campers who may need extra layers with the Cat's Meow even at 40-degree nighttime temperatures.
Cozy sizes. The North Face Cat's Meow comes in two sizes, regular and long, and users say the sizes are adequate for campers over 6 feet tall. Users with large feet might find the footbox too constricting, says a reviewer at CheapTents.com who wears a size 13. This is good news for campers who usually have cold feet - less room in the footbox means it warms easily by body heat. Adjusting the bag while inside is easy, say StarCamping.com editors: "The hood was easy to pull up tight around my face without any discomfort."
Good for novice or casual campers. The North Face Cat's Meow strikes a balance between affordability and function. "(It's) an ideal piece of kit for someone starting out or indeed anyone looking for a good quality sleeping bag without breaking the bank," says a reviewer at CheapTents.com.
However, the bag's notoriously sticky zippers and mixed reviews for temperature dependability might drive more frequent campers to a lower temperature rating or a down bag, such as the top-rated Sierra Designs DriDown Zissou (Est. $220 and up).
The Cat's Meow is reportedly durable: its synthetic fill keeps its loft (thickness) well over a few years of use. "It is highly compressible and has held its loft for three years so far without being washed," writes a Buzzillions.com contributor. However, a user reviewing the bag on Trailspace.com reminds campers that losing a fair amount of loft "is just a fact of life for synthetics." North Face does offer a full warranty for the lifetime of its products.

The state of Michigan is set to join Japan, the United Kingdom and the US states of California, Florida and Nevada in allowing testing of autonomous vehicles on public roads.
A bill in both the Michigan House of Representatives and Senate passed with just a single dissenting vote, and will now go before Republican Governor Rick Snyder – a known proponent of driverless cars – to get signed into law. As The Detroit News points out, Snyder specifically called for driverless testing in Michigan during his State of the State address.
The new law calls for a human driver behind the wheel at all times, should the system fail, while any and all driverless cars will wear Michigan's distinctive manufacturer's "M" plate. The law would not be limited to just automakers, though, specifically allowing so-called "upfitters" like Google test in the state as well.
This news follows Ford's announcement of a driverless Fusion Hybrid (shown above), co-developed with the University of Michigan and State Farm Insurance, as well as news of semi-autonomous testing by General Motors and Nissan.

MISSION – The Sharyland student body preceded Tuesday's showdown between the Rattlers and the Nikki Rowe Warriors by bringing in a student dressed up as the biblical Moses to lead the crowd in cheers. Apparently the ancient prophet still had a couple of miracles up his sleeve to help the Rattlers outlast the visitors in two overtimes, winning 74-73 in a game long to be remembered by those in attendance. The win puts Sharyland all alone in the top spot for District 30-5A.
"Awesome game," said Rattler head coach David Keith afterwards. "Hats off to Rowe."
To achieve the victory, miracles were indeed called for. For one, star guard Jesse Pistokache picked up two fouls in the fourth quarter—the last one in the final minute—forcing the young but talented leader to sit the rest of the fourth and the two overtimes on the sidelines. The mandatory order to the bench was a perceived blow for the Rattlers as Jesse had just picked up a hot shooting touch that allowed the freshman to score 12 second half points after only scoring two in the first. Further, Pistokache's smooth dribbling skills accompanied his hot hand, leaving his team without his ability to score or calmly lead the offense.
So when the young man sat down it appeared Rowe would be in full control to win the game, using their suffocating full court press to frustrate the Shary ball handlers. However, brother Quino and others such as Ian Guy, Matt Cardenas and Eduardo Garcia sufficiently held tough to keep possession of the ball and withstand Rowe's attempt to put the game away.
"I think Quino stepped up as a ball handler and showed his ability and experience," said Keith.
Though the Warriors did score a last second basket to send the game to overtime, Sharyland was not ready to falter.
Quino, Garcia and big man John Horner led the charge to pick up the slack by scoring fifteen of their team's seventeen points in the two overtimes.
However, the key baskets came in the final seconds of the second overtime. With Sharyland leading by one, Horner used his size and strength to put in a bucket to extend the lead to 73-70. The big man was counted on to play well after the team's other big man, John Madrigal, had fouled out earlier.
"I felt calm," Horner said afterwards of his feelings being his team's only big inside presence. "I just played my game."
However, Rowe came right back to hit a three with just over ten seconds remaining, tying the game and perceivably extending the match to a third overtime. Unfortunately, the Warriors made a crucial mistake when their full court press caused the remaining Pistokache to be fouled with just less than six seconds remaining.
Though surprised by the foul, Quino went to the line with confidence and the commitment to end the long battle at the charity stripe.
"I'm going to win this game no matter what," said Quino of his thoughts at the time.
Though the senior missed the first free throw, he knew he had one more. To Rowe's dismay the guard calmly put the ball through the net, concluding an epic, even miraculous game.
GAME MVP: The entire team. In the locker room after the win the team gathered into a circle and yelled, "FAMILY!" Perhaps there was no better description to fit the Rattler's play and effort on Tuesday night. Though the two Pistokache's led the team in scoring, everyone seemed to contribute in key ways. John Madrigal was a beast on the boards and scored the team's first points; Ian Guy and Matt Cardenas were solid contributors; John Hoerner stepped up his play when Madrigal fouled out, scoring key baskets at end of the first and second overtimes; Eduardo Garcia had an amazing banked shot in the final overtime. Overall, it was just a beautiful effort by a group of kids you can see really care for one another and play as a team.

Would they be casting their votes as Jamaicans, I asked the Kingston Rastafarians, in the forthcoming elections? The idea horrified them.

building around protruding sonotube
hi from brenda (the newbie on this site)
we are closing in an existing covered deck to become our livingroom. the cement sonotubes that hold the 6x6 posts are 10 across and are 4 in. above the cement floor. we are pressed for head room so can not build a subfloor up to them. i was wondering if i can chip the cement so that they will not be sticking out of our 2x6 wall construction. i am worried about compromising the support system by doing this?? another option i thought of was to use 2x10s for the walls. which would mean doing extra work around the windows as they are made for standard 6 in construction. any advise or ideas would be very helpful, thanks.
I would chip them down to size.
me, too,,, use a 4" grinder & .110 diamond blades to make a series of cuts then finish w/chipping gun & chisel bit,,, final work's w/a bushing tool if you can find 1

The Rockets have played from in front most of this season. But for most of the season, their leads have disappeared. That was not the case on Saturday as they beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111. The Rockets took the lead into seconds into the game and did not relinquish it.
"We hit first tonight," Dwight Howard said. "We started the game off right. That's what we have to do against good teams. We have to continue to do that to be a championship contending team."
Each of the Rockets' first five shots dropped through the twine and by then they already led, 12-2. Denver would get no closer than six points the rest of the game.
"Great start for the team, that was huge," Chandler Parsons said. "It's tough when you get down against these teams and try and get back (in the game)."
Nuggets center J.J. HIckson noted the slow start really was the Nuggets undoing.
"We made a lot of mental mistakes and a lot of defensive mistakes," he said. "I think by the second half we dug ourselves into a hole that was too big and it was just too late."
The Nuggets were able to put a run together in the second half. They shaved a 17-point halftime deficit down to seven points in just over three and a half minutes to start the third quarter. They had a chance to slice it to five, but Terrence Jones delivered one of the Rockets nine blocks in the game. He grabbed the loose ball, started the fast break and found Parsons for the slam.
Moments later, Pat Beverley hit one of the Rockets' nine 3-pointers and the lead was back to 12 points. Denver never seriously threatened again.
"That was huge, too," Parsons said of the Rockets' response to the Nuggets second half run. "Last couple of games, we've been up seven, then they cut it to three, then it's a tie game. Instead of letting them do that again, we kept extended the lead and we got some big stops. We kept going in transition and didn't slow down too much."
The Rockets 122 points are a new season high and they shot 42.9 percent (9-21) from behind the 3-point line, which is also a new season-best.
Jones has been very productive in his first three career starts, turning in his second double-double, with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Both marks tied his career highs. He's also had 10 blocked shots over his last four games since joining the rotation.
"I'm just trying to get better each game, continuing to stay on the boards," Jones said. "All of the guarding and just running the color as hard as I can."

What are the pros?
What are the cons?
This variety had such a lovely smell! And quite strong flavor to boot. Mine didn't really get very big but it's probably because I waited to long to plant it. Finnish summer is short! However, I couldn't believe when I uncovered my over-wintered pots of herbs on the balcony a few weeks ago. The sage was still green and usable!!!!! This winter got down to -25 celcius!! Seriously tough little herb!
Would you recommend this product to a friend?

TUESDAY, March 4, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A new study offers more evidence that the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a powerful weapon in the fight against cervical cancer.
In a study that examined the vaccine's effectiveness in a large population of Australian women, the University of Queensland researchers claim their finding suggests HPV vaccination is effective when given to a broad swath of individuals.
HPV can lead to precancerous lesions of the cervix, genital warts and cervical cancer, said Dr. Subhakar Mutyala, associate director of Scott & White Cancer Institute at Texas A&M College of Medicine. Mutyala, who was not involved in the study, said clinical trials have shown that HPV vaccination in young women can prevent HPV infection, with a goal of decreasing cervical cancer.
Australia was the first country to create a national vaccine program using public funds, and health officials there began vaccinating women against the virus in 2007.
The study authors collected data from 2007 to 2011, using a population register in Queensland. More than 100,000 women, who ranged in age from 12 to 26, received their first-ever Pap test during that period. Pap tests look for precancerous and cancerous lesions on the cervix.
To learn more about the effectiveness of the vaccine, the researchers divided the women into three groups based on results from their Pap tests: One group tested positive for precancerous and cancerous lesions; one group tested positive for abnormal but not precancerous lesions; and a third "control" group had normal Pap test results.
The authors then examined the effectiveness of the vaccine in "sexually naive" women who had no prior infection, some of whom had received one dose, two doses or three doses of the three-dose HPV vaccine.
The authors reported that three doses provided 46 percent protection against "high-grade" cervical abnormalities, such as precancerous lesions, and 34 percent protection against other cervical abnormalities, such as genital warts, compared to women who had not received the shots.
The researchers also found that two doses of the vaccine provided 21 percent protection against high-grade abnormalities and other cervical abnormalities. One dose of the vaccine did not shield from infection.
The findings are published online March 4 in bmj.com.
"It's an important study," said Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, a professor of medicine (infectious diseases) and of public health at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. "They compared women with cervical disease and women without, and they found a significant protection rate, nearly a 50 percent reduction in risk in women vaccinated versus unvaccinated women."
Mutyala noted the study shows that in real life -- not just in a controlled research setting -- the vaccine has a significant impact on the health of women.
"The goal is to eradicate the HPV virus in our entire population, and the study actually shows the vaccine is working in Australia," Mutyala said. "It's decreasing those cellular level, microscopic-level abnormalities picked up on a Pap test."
In a separate study published last month in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Danish researchers reported that young women who received HPV vaccination had a much lower risk for precancerous lesions compared to those who weren't vaccinated.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 15,000 cancers caused by HPV occur in women each year, and cervical cancer is the most common type. Approximately 7,000 cancers caused by HPV occur in men, with throat cancers the most common.
Two HPV vaccines are licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and recommended by CDC -- Cervarix and Gardasil. Mutyala said the vaccines are approved by the FDA for use in boys and girls aged 9 and up. He said only about one-third of girls in the United States are currently vaccinated, and only about 7 percent of boys.
Klausner said the United States should have better HPV public education and vaccination programs.
"It's shameful that in the United States, the richest country in the world, we can't vaccinate against cancer," said Klausner, who recently reviewed HPV vaccination in Rwanda, Africa, where the vaccination rate is 97 percent. "The vaccine works and it's safe."

Financial Aid and the Credit Crunch
Posted by: Louis Lavelle on October 6, 2008
By Alysa Teichman
What does the bailout mean for financing your education? The answer is still unclear, but Mark Kantrowitz , the author of "FastWeb College Gold, the Step-by-Step Guide to Paying for College" offers a few tips to understanding your financial aid in this article:
1) It's the students at community and technical colleges that will be most affected by changes in the economy and the lending crisis.
2) Save, save, save – any amount you can set aside helps.
3) Going to school might not be the best way to escape the uncertain job market if you can't get a loan.
4) The interest rates on your loans are likely to jump within the next month.
5) Choose loans based on the lowest interest rates and fees.

Doting Daddies: Ashley Young & Darren Fletcher
Injured Manchester United players Ashley Young and Darren Fletcher made it a family day out to Old Trafford on Saturday.
Ashley brought his adorable 5-year-old son Tyler to United's match against Bolton, although Tyler probably just played Transformers or dinosaurs in the on-site creche while daddy hobnobbed with the big fellas. Tyler looks like a cheeky one, eh?
Darren Fletcher also brought along his lovely little family; wife, Hayley, and twins ,Jack and Tyler (in matching outfits, natch), walked hand-in-hand to the VIP entrance.
Before entering the stadium, however, Darren carried out one of the most important fatherly duties possible: he kissed and made one of his boy's boo-boos all better.
