Dear Gurudev, recently there has been a discovery of something called the Higgs-Boson particle. Is it leading scientists towards pure consciousness?
I visited the institute CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) where they found the God particle. We presented them with the book, Yoga Vasishta, and some meditation CDs. In fact, the head of that institution came and spoke at our Wor ... -
Gurudev, the way today's TV serials depict characters like Mahadev, Parvati, Jalandhar, etc., is it realistic? Please shed some light on this.
Well, it does not quite appeal to me either. They show Parvati (the consort of Lord Shiva and form of Mother Divine) as someone who keeps getting angry, keeps getting upset so easily and keeps yelling every now and then. These are not divine qualities ... -
Gurudev, what makes Consciousness acquire a tendency to become outwardly though the inner world is so beautiful?
Nature has made our senses go outward. The world outside is there for the senses. Beautiful sceneries are there for the eyes, fragrances are for the nose and similar for taste and touch. But there is also this mechanism, where the mind can withdraw ... -
Dear Gurudev, can you tell us about God's mother and father? And how many brothers and sisters does God have?
My goodness! I will tell you who God's mother and father are, if you tell me where a tennis ball begins. My dear, you don't call God something that is born or that dies. God is the Light, the Consciousness, which has no birth. Three ... -
Dear Gurudev, if consciousness is one, then are we as we think we are. Can one experience anyone else's body, or experience? Can one transfer their soul or dislodge and lodge at will?
Do you see how many bulbs are there in this room? Are these bulbs different? Yes, they are all different bulbs, but the electricity that runs through them, is it different? No. So, on one level it is all different, and at another level, all are the sa ... -

You once said the body is in the mind, not the other way around. Please explain what you mean by this.

Gurudev, if love resides at the level of chetna (consciousness) alone; then what is the need of relationships?
Consciousness expresses itself through the person. And relationships happen among different persons. If you do not feel the need for any relationship, then you cannot establish any relationship by force. The fact that you are asking a question about the ne ... -

Penn State's win over Michigan on Saturday has already paid off on the recruiting trail.
The biggest in-season recruiting weekend for the Nittany Lions has secured a verbal commitment from Mike Gesicki, a highly regarded tight end from New Jersey.
Gesicki announced his decision publicly Thursday, choosing Penn State over Ohio State.
"I'm so blessed, thankful, and joyful to announce that I am committed to The Pennsylvania State University!" Gesicki wrote on his Twitter account.
Rated as the top tight end in the country by at least one recruiting service, Gesicki took an official visit to State College last weekend, taking in Penn State's four-overtime epic against Michigan in person while also touring the campus.
Long considered an Ohio State lean, the four-star recruit began to look harder at Penn State's offer last month when the NCAA announced that it would begin reducing the sanctions against the program.
His recent trip to Penn State appeared to have sealed the deal. He originally was going to decide between the Lions and Buckeyes today but ended up announcing it a day early.
At 6-foot-5 and 236 pounds, Gesicki hails from the same high school — Southern Regional — as Lions linebacker Glenn Carson. 247sports rates Gesicki as the country's top tight end.
Gesicki is the 13th player to give a verbal commitment to Penn State for the 2014 recruiting class, which will officially sign in February. He is the first to commit since early July, as the Lions were originally allowed only a 15-man signing class because of sanctions, and most of the spots were already filled.
But the NCAA's recent reversal will now permit Penn State to sign up to 20 players this weekend in addition to a few early enrollees who will count against last year's class.
Lions coach Bill O'Brien said after Saturday's improbable win that he thought it could make a difference in recruiting.
"What you see is what you get with this staff," O'Brien said. "We're a bunch of hard-nosed coaches that believe in a philosophy of smart, tough football. If you come to Penn State, you have a chance to play in front of 108,000 fans, you're going to be on TV every week and you're going to get a fantastic education.
"It's really an unbeatable combination. Hopefully, things worked out tonight in that realm too."

Taiwan began a three-day mourning period to remember the victims of Typhoon Morakot on Saturday, two weeks after the island's worst weather disaster in 50 years devastated its mountainous south.
The storm took at least 500 lives and caused more than $2 billion in property damage. It triggered landslides and widespread flooding that trapped thousands of people in remote villages for days.
Early Saturday flags around Taiwan were lowered to half staff, and government officials attended religious events paying homage to the storm victims.
Since the full dimensions of the Morakot disaster became clear about 12 days ago, President Ma-Ying-jeou has struggled to assuage widespread anger over the government's slow response.
His approval rating has now dropped to below 20 percent - a 30 percent decline in only three months - amid an almost daily battering in Taiwan's hypercritical media - including in outlets normally friendly to the administration.
The Liberty Times - which normally supports the opposition - published details on Saturday of the $110 Japanese meal enjoyed by Ma's economic minister on the first day of a massive rescue operation aimed at saving the lives of thousands of flood-stranded villagers.
Three other senior officials - the vice-foreign minister, the defense minister and the Cabinet secretary-general - have already offered to resign, their reputations pummeled by a growing perception that the government was either indifferent to the fate of Morakot's victims or incapable of offering them succor.
Ma has been visiting hard-hit areas in the south over the past two days, bowing before the families of the dead and promising that a planned $3 billion reconstruction program will be carried out with exemplary efficiency.
A major question now facing Ma is how quickly he will be able to reverse the considerable political damage he has sustained and get back to dealing with the signature enterprise of his presidency - improving relations with rival China, from which Taiwan split amid civil war in 1949.
In his 15 months in office, Ma has reversed the pro-independence policies of his predecessor, moving rapidly to link Taiwan's economy with that of the mainland, and even speaking of a peace treaty between the sides.
So far the pro-independence opposition has been cautious about raising the issue of whether someone whose leadership has been so
badly wounded can be counted on to effectively manage the complex
and politically sensitive China opening.
Ma himself appeared to address the issue at a press conference
on Tuesday, saying management of China ties is unrelated to Morakot
and the difficult questions it raises.

This is an article that briefly explains the use of a group of classes I created that represent a typical set of playing cards. I wanted to create a game of cribbage, and began by looking for Open Source code that would have the basic playing card classes built for me. Surprisingly, I didn't find any that suited my needs. So, I decided the first thing I would need to create for my game of cribbage were the playing cards. These included a card class, a card array (a collection of cards), a card comparer (for sorting the card array in different ways), a standard 52 card deck, and shoe classes. I originally wrote these classes in C#, but translated them to VB using the free online tool. I hope you find this useful.
The project file actually has the solution file as well as three projects in it. There is one project for the C# card classes, one for VB.NET card classes, and the third is a simple C# console app that is designed to show you the uses of the classes. The C# and VB.NET classes are identical in functionality, and only differ in the language they were written in.
One of the most common mistakes I saw when looking at how others approached the card classes is to not use enumeration when representing the card properties. By using strongly typed data, the code will be easier to read and less prone to usage errors.
Another shortcoming I saw in other similar projects is the lack of methods for sorting the cards. There are many different ways to order a set of cards, such as face, value, suit, ascending, descending, etc. I decided to create a static class that uses the IComparable interface to make sorting easier. The actual implementation of the sort algorithm is hidden in a private nested class as seen below:
public static class CardComparer { public static IComparer SortFaceAscending() { return (IComparer)new SortFaceAscendingHelper(); } .... private class SortFaceAscendingHelper : IComparer { int IComparer.Compare(object a, object b) { if (a is Card && b is Card) { Card cardA = (Card)a; Card cardB = (Card)b; if (cardA.Face > cardB.Face) { return 1; } else if (cardA.Face < cardB.Face) { return -1; } else { return 0; } } else { throw new ArgumentException("Object is not of type Card."); } } }
I built this code as a foundation for a cribbage game that I am currently working on. It could be used or easily modified to play with any card game that you want. The biggest difference that the various card games have is the actual value of the card, which is why I made the face and suit properties separate from the actual value of the card. This could be improved by the value of the card based on the current game being played, perhaps through a static class passed to the card's constructor.

German composer–guitarist Parijat creates music with no purpose other than creating space: "The silence and space which gets created through the music...is very precious for me," he notes. With his embracing of slow, melodic structures via his nylon-string guitar, Parijat's music dissolves stress and tension as if he's merely helping you off with your coat and boots, stripping away the frenzy and striving to create a model example of the simple, humble beauty and warmth that guitar, synths, and gentle percussion can offer. As Buddha Garden progresses, the music seems to stand still and suddenly it's not the music that changes; it's the listener who relaxes more with every repeated phrase from Parijat's healing guitar. The cycling structure provides a gentle reminder of the impossibility of permanence, the inevitable turning of the seasons, the "all things must pass," which the Buddha taught. With Parijat, the sounds you hear seem part of a long, unbroken chain extending from the days of ancient philosophers straight into your heart and mind in whatever century you may be lost in. Any space you lay yourself down becomes a Buddha Garden. The opening track, "Transience," offers a lovely, humble guitar line extended warmly over the amniotic, misty space of the inner-garden synth pads. With his delicate nylon strings, Parijat creates shivery warmth that imbues the soul with the noble tranquility reminiscent of classical guitar by Segovia but with the light touch of a folksy campfire troubadour. Tracks such as "Flowering" kick things up with a gentle conga beat, but whatever the pace, there's a steady and ever wistful feeling of serenity and gentle stillness. "Ruparahi" takes things deeper into the exotic, with a vaguely serpentine sambora and sitar coming together in an otherworldly slow descent, down ancient steps into the anonymous tranquility of the misty garden below. The tracks get further out into the calm interior of the soul as with the achingly gentle hush of "Returning Home," with its vaguely familiar melody beautifully enfolded into the mellow, stately ambience. Whether you just like guitar instrumental albums or appreciate Parijat's gift with healing tonality, you'll find Buddha Garden a beautiful place to rest a while, and a welcome addition to your personal relaxation music temple.

Apple\'s Intel transition could slow Mac sales
updated 07:20 am EDT, Wed June 22, 2005
Mac sales could slow
Apple's move to the Intel architecture , according to a TheStreet.com columnist. The announcement earlier this month could reduce the surging momentum generated by the iPod and the associated "halo effect," which has been largely been seen as the reason for increasing Mac sales in recent quarters. "While Apple has seen an uptick in Macintosh sales in recent quarters, that momentum may be slowed by the recent announcement that it is switching the processor at the heart of its computers from the PowerPC line produced by IBM/Freescale to chips made by Intel. Although Apple offered valid reasons for the switch, it could lead customers to delay computer purchases or choose rival systems based on Microsoft's Windows operating system. Even with a recent drop, Apple shares -- at 29 times earnings estimates for the current year -- still are trading at a premium to its PC rivals. This implies big growth expectations for the company and particularly its computer business."

Kliff Kingsbury attracting unique fan base, featured on E! News
There isn't another college football coach getting the good press Texas Tech's Kliff Kingsbury has received simply for being present.
The former Red Raider quarterback and first-year head coach was featured on E! News with hardly a mention of how well his team has played on the field in the early season on its way to a 4-0 record.
"It's a nice compliment," Kingsbury told E!. "It's not like there are a bunch of supermodels in this profession, so you take it with a grain of salt."
The statement Kingsbury has thrown out to the Lubbock media several times regarding the attention he has received based on looks and personality is "it's better than the alternative." He tries to keep things focused on football and his team as much as possible.
The attention Texas Tech's head coach has received off the field is unprecedented in the college sports sphere, but exposure is exposure. More than anything, it gives Kingsbury and Texas Tech name recognition to people who follow Hollywood and music more than sports.

For some reason everyone always leaves out 9", they talk about 10" for 3S and 8" for 4S. I found that 9" Gemfans on 4S with the DJI 920KVs work best for me. 8" was too twitchy and seemed like the motors were being overworked. That was with 8" Graupners, maybe other 8's would have different results.
1010g with no lipo but including fpv gear and gopro I was using 9" graupners but having major yaw issues couldnt turn in FF. Now Im on 10" graupners and its much better This is with sunnysky 980kv motors, hobbywing 18a escs (stock fw), uhf rx, 2.4ghz vtx and board cam. Using a kk2 BTW thats 9mins of proper flying not hovering
Battery life
Vantastically amazing
I did some battery life testing in this video. It was previously flown 1:43 in this video. Total was 12min 40 sec at the end. It uses a Naza M with GPS for a controller. The props are APC 10X4.7 with Rctimer 2836/9 motors with 40 amp Turnigy plush ESC's. They are a little big but do not heat up. 2 of them are in the sandwich. The battery is a Gens ace 5000 mAh 3s 60-120c battery. It was drained down to 9.7 volts many times. All up weight is 1641g. This test is a prelude to flying full Fpv in the future. I determine this build to be a 10 min bird with 2 min reserve to land. The video was taken with a Gopro strapped on my head using a cap. For some action goto 4:25 where it almost crashes :-)
The video is currently uploading give it 30 min + Youtube finishing terrorist activity. |
You can ream out the Gemfan 9" props to fit the DJI motors...I did it for a test. I ended up just sticking with the DJI 8" props on 4S with my DJI motors. I'm getting ready to swap them out for the NTM 750kv motors on unflashed ESCs and 9" Gemfans. I had the NTM's on before, with Simonk flashed ESCs, but they were really noisey...something about an odd pole count on the NTMs. I'll try them again with 'stock' ESCs to see how they do.
How have your DJI motors been holding up to 4s? Tom |
Tom, I'm using the DJI 8" props on the DJI motors on 4S and everythings been fine with it. I do want to use 9", but I hate the idea of all the reaming to get the props to fit...hence why I'll be refititng the NTM 750's with stock ESCs again.
There are very few (if any) OSDs with RTH that will work on multi-rotors. I'd get a flight controller that has RTH ability (DJI Naza w/GPS for instance) and then an OSD for flight data information. I'm using a Dragon OSD with my Dragon Link UHF along with a DJI Naza w/GPS on my HT-FPV frame.
You really don't need an OSD, unless you want to monitor your battery voltage on display. |
I had my first 2 FPV crashes today and they both happened on the same flight.
I knew it was going to happen eventually I just didn't expect a two-for-one deal.
I think it was all my fault but I'm not really sure. I was flying about 100 ft in front of me and when I switched from GPS to manual mode the quad dropped out of the sky like a rock, motors running. I have switched before in LOS and had to compensate for the switch and was prepared for this, however, I thought I gave it enough throttle to keep a solid hover as I was at least 75 ft up. Well... it slammed. Hard but not hard enough that I thought there would be significant damage. At this point you may be asking yourself how is that two crashes? Its not. The second crash came when I made the most rookie mistake any RC'er could make, the thing that is stated in most instructions and owners manuals. -UNPLUG BATTERY FROM AIRCRAFT BEFORE TURNING OFF TRANSMITTER- Well suffice to say my motors were still running but being at the distance I was I couldn't hear them. Without thinking, I turned off my transmitter before walking over to survey the damage. WRONG. About half way to my quad the motors spun up and the NAZA went into failsafe. The (partially damaged) quad took off with the trajectory of a bottle rocket, went straight through a 300' pine tree and careened into my neighbors um.... airspace. It ended up on their um... groundspace and I quickly retrieved it with the motors still screaming, broken props and arm, it just wanted to go home. Breakdown: 1. I don't feel it was pilot error on the first slam. Just not sure. Just didn't feel right. 2. I assume it was damaged before going into failsafe because of its bottle rocket like trajectory. 3. Didn't have the GPS superglued on the stick mount so it just got knocked loose (could have been knocked loose on the first crash) causing the second. 4. Frame held up well. Only broke an arm and dislodged a motor mount. 5. Tree rash. 6. Damaged some nice E-props 7. One motor wont turn any more. I wouldnt feel safe flying with the others now anyways. 8. Need to find a way to test my Naza to make sure its doesn't have brain damage. The Plus Side: 1. I learned a good lesson. 2. I have really been wanting new motors! |
I've found that flying in Atti mode and then switching to Manual (with the battery running low) ends up with an out-of-control copter. I had it happen to me twice now. Once I ended up in a bush and the other time I was just able to save it before making a puff of dirt. I think it's best to either stay in ATTI mode and just be close enough to home before it 'autolands' or fly in Manual mode and only 'visit' the ATTI modes. That's my my DJI Naza at least. My other controllers haven't exhibiting this kind of behavior. I think it's because the Naza takes over throttle for altitude hold at center stick.

Has anyone seen this movie yet? It's definitely geared for the younger, under-30 crowd, but it's such a funny movie. It's so honest in its portrayal of today's high school world, and it's much more than a stereotypical American Pie-type plot. It's a bunch of comical situations strung together, but it never strays from the flow of the movie for a cheap laugh. If you didn't get to see it this weekend, make it to a showing next weekend -- the audiences loved this movie, and the word-of-mouth buzz is going to be huge going into this week.
Go Sssssssssyclones!
It was funny but, overall I was a little disappointed. Should have waited until it came out on DVD
I loved it. Crude humor was a little over the top, but overall I enjoyed it.
I thought it was hilarious...McLovin chillin with the cops just cracked me up...
mclovin sounds like a sexy hamburger hehe
I liked it quite a bit - but Knocked Up is still the movie of the year. "I told her what time it was." btw: The Norway, Ia baseball movie is opening to a 1,000 theatres nation wide on Oct 12th.
OMG! I LOVED it! My cheeks hurt from laughing so hard. While I thoroughly enjoyed "Knocked Up", I thought "Superbad" was the superior movie. The guy who played Seth is SOO funny.

I really liked it a lot. Definitely not one to take Grandma to but I thought the acting and writing were both very well done.

IUI is used to treat infertility due to low sperm count, low motility, cervical mucus, and unexplained infertility. How do I Schedule My IUI? Use the following guidelines IUI Scheduling Guidelines How is the IUI Performed? An IUI is done in our office. Sperm is collected into a sterile container either at home or in one of our private collection rooms. If you are collecting at home, you still need an appointment to drop off your sample. The sample needs to be kept at body temperature during transportation and given to us within a 60-minute time period. If you cannot get the sample here within that time, please set up the appointment to collect the sample here. The sperm is then washed to concentrate the most motile sperm into a very small volume. The washed sperm is then placed into a catheter and passed through the cervix into the uterus. The insemination takes about 10 minutes to perform, then an additional 10 minutes is required so you can lie down.

Tromsø Airport, Langnes (Norwegian: Tromsø lufthavn, Langnes; IATA: TOS, ICAO: ENTC) is an international airport located at Langnes in Tromsø, Norway. Situated on the western shore of the island of Tromsøya, it features a 2,447-metre (8,028 ft) runway aligned 01/19. Owned and operated by the state-owned Avinor, Langnes served 1,910,692 passengers in 2014, making it the busiest airport in Northern Norway.
The airport opened on 14 September 1964, replacing Tromsø Airport, Skattøra, a water aerodrome. Tromsø became and still is the main hub for Widerøe's regional flights to Finnmark. Main haul flights to other primary airports were carried out by Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). Braathens SAFE and its Busy Bee subsidiary operated from Tromsø from 1967 to 2002. Norwegian Air Shuttle has flown from Langnes since 1992 and Lufttransport has its main operating base at Tromsø. The current Terminal B was built in 1977. Terminal A opened in 1997, following a period with a 240-metre (790 ft) runway extension and a new control tower.
The first airport in Tromsø was a water aerodrome located at Skattøra, located in the then separate municipality of Tromsøysund.[3] It was established in the 1930s and was at first served by Norwegian Air Lines (DNL). During World War II it was taken over by Luftwaffe and the aerodrome was expanded.[4] A new seaplane route was established by DNL in 1946 with a daily service to Trondheim using a Junkers Ju 52, which after a few months was extended northwards to Kirkenes.[5]
Operation of the water aerodrome was taken over from the Royal Norwegian Air Force by the municipalities of Tromsø and Tromsøysund. They built a new wharf and a terminal building and operated it as a joint venture on a per capita basis.[3] From 1947 the larger and faster Short Sandringham flying boat was introduced on the route and a direct service to Oslo was introduced, allowing a travel time of eight hours. The Sandringhams would all be written off in accidents.[5] With the opening of Bodø Airport in 1952 the Ju 52 was again put into service. This lasted until 1956, when Bardufoss Airport opened and passengers from Tromsø were transported there by bus.[5] In 1958 there were 6,825 Tromsø-bound passengers.[6]
The Civil Airport Administration stated in 1950 that Tromsø, as Northern Norway's largest town, should have an airfield. Parliament's Standing Committee on Transport and Communications decided in 1953 that a new airport should be built at Langnes. Local politicians feared that Bardufoss would remain a permanent solution for Troms.[5] A meeting in the chamber of commerce on 27 January 1955 resulted in a committee being established to lobby for an airfield. This was followed up with the municipality borrowing 350,000 Norwegian krone to expropriate the area.[7] Initial plans for Langnes were for a 1,400-metre (4,600 ft) runway; this would not allow the largest aircraft to land. Local politicians therefore started lobbying national politicians for 1,600 metres (5,200 ft).[5] After this had been passed, a new lobby campaign was established for a 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) runway, which was chosen.[7]
Parliament approved the airport and the necessary funding in 1962 and construction started the following year with Selmer as the contractor.[8] By then it was decided that the runway would measure 2,160 by 40 metres (7,090 by 130 ft), including overruns at each end. This allowed SAS to operate its new Sud Aviation Caravelles to Tromsø.[8] The airport was officially opened on 14 September 1964.[8]
Operational history[edit]
Scandinavian Airlines System received concession to operate the route to from Oslo to Tromsø. It was organized in such a way that SAS flew direct flights to Troms and then continued onwards to one or more of the three airports in Finnmark.[9] SAS also flew services southwards to Bodø and Trondheim Airport, Værnes. Widerøe relocated its seaplanes in Tromsø to Langnes, stationed at a small water airport on the fjord, adjacent to the terminal building. Widerøe's flights to Finnmark were stopped, but it retained a service to Bardufoss. Widerøe retained this service until 1971, when it closed down its seaplane base in Tromsø.[10]
The airport served 20,177 passengers in 1965.[6] Braathens SAFE started flights to Tromsø on 1 April 1967. They were given permission to fly a services from Stavanger, Bergen and Ålesund to Bodø and Tromsø using a Fokker F27 Friendship. Once a week these aircraft continued onwards to Longyearbyen Airport, Adventdalen as a corporate charter for Store Norske Spitsbergen Kulkompani. This lasted until 1975. That year Svalbard Airport, Longyear opened and the concession was granted to SAS, with Tromsø as an intermediate stop on the way to Oslo.[10] Braathens' coastal route was later taken over by Busy Bee.[11]
A network of regional airports opened in Finnmark on 1 August 1974. These were served with de Havilland Canada Twin Otter aircraft operated by Widerøe, with the western end of the service terminating in Tromsø.[12] Also a service to Andøya Airport, Andenes was taken over by Widerøe in the early 1970s.[13] By 1975 the airport handled 214,135 passengers.[6] The increased traffic caused congestion in the terminal building, leading to the construction the a new terminal. Opened in 1977, it was nicknamed "the banana" due to its crescent shape. The terminal was renovated and expanded in 1985.[14]
Norving established Tromsø's first international route in June 1979, to Kiruna Airport in Sweden using a Cessna 441 Conquest.[15] Until 1982 it was flown with a SAS flight code.[16] The airline established a second international route in May 1983 to Rovaniemi Airport in Finland.[17] The following year Luleå Airport was added to the route.[18] These routes lasted until 1986.[19] Norving had a requiem on a route to Luleå and Oulu Airport starting 2 September 1991,[20] although it only lasted until April 1992.[21]
Petroleum prospecting in the Barents Sea commenced in 1980 and Tromsø was chosen as the helicopter base for this activity. Helikopter Service built a hangar and base at Langnes. They operated until 1984, when Lufttransport took over the operations and moved it to Andøya.[14]
SAS Commuter was established in 1988. SAS then reorganized its routes, so that the Oslo flights terminated at Tromsø instead of continuing onwards to Finnmark. Meanwhile more regional services in Finnmark were geared towards Alta Airport and the services from Tromsø to the primary airports in Finnmark were taken over by SAS Commuter using the Fokker 50.[22] Patronage at the airport grew steadily until 1985, when it had 794,480 passengers. Then the pax remained steady until 1992. It then rose quickly for four years, hitting 1,413,610 in 1996. Since the ridership has remained steady.[23]
Busy Bee went bankrupt in 1992 and Norwegian Air Shuttle took over Braathens SAFE's regional routes.[11] Braathens SAFE and Aeroflot introduced flights to Murmansk Airport in Russia from 1993,[10] and same year SAS started flights to London.[10] The domestic aviation market was deregulated on 1 April 1994. This led Braathens to establish two direct flights per day to Oslo, for the first time competing with SAS on the same route out of Tromsø. Meanwhile SAS Commuter started services to Bodø and Trondheim.[24]
The Banana was becoming too small and the CAA initiated a major upgrade program to the airport. The runway was extended 240 metres (790 ft) in 1995 and the following year a new control tower opened.[14] The new terminal building opened on 31 October 1997. It included three jetbridges and was to be used for jet services. The old terminal was used for regional and international services. An operations building was opened in 1999, completing the renovation.[11]
SAS bought Braathens in 2002 and became SAS Braathens in 2004. Norwegian reorganized itself as a low-cost carrier. With its new launch on 1 September 2002, it opened a Tromsø to Oslo service with a Boeing 737-300.[11] In December 2007 it launched a weekly service to London Stansted Airport.[25] Nextjet started a triangular route between Tromsø, Luleå and Oulu on 12 January 2015.[26]
Tromsø Airport is situated at Langnes on the western part of the island of Tromsøya in Tromsø, Norway. The airport has two terminals measuring a combined 13,500 square meters (145,000 sq ft). Terminal A, opened in 1997, features the check-in and has three jetbridges. The older Terminal B, from 1977, has the international hall and. Jetliner operate out of Terminal A, while regional airlines operate out of both terminals. Combined there are stands for nine aircraft.[11] The domestic departure hall features three stores, consisting of a kiosk, a bookstore and a cosmetic store. There is a duty-free shop in the international section, as well as a kiosk on the land side in the arrivals hall.[27] The domestic departures hall has four dining establishments, including a pizzaria and a sports bar. There is a small café in the international departures hall.[28] There is also an operations building measuring 6,400 square meters (69,000 sq ft).[11]
The asphalt runway has physical dimensions 2,447 by 45 metres (8,028 by 148 ft) and is aligned 01/19, almost north–south. It has a takeoff run available (TORA) of 2,447 metres (8,028 ft) on runway 01 and 2,391 metres (7,844 ft) on runway 19, and a landing distance available (LDA) of 2,391 metres (7,844 ft) on 01 and 2,003 metres (6,572 ft) on 19. All have category I instrument landing system with precision approach path indicators. The airport is equipped with category 7 fire and rescue service. The airport has a reference elevation of 10 metres (32 ft) above mean sea level.[1]
Airlines and destinations[edit]
The main scheduled airlines operating at Tromsø are SAS, Norwegian and Widerøe. SAS operates Boeing 737 Next Generation services to Oslo and other major airport in Norway, including Svalbard. Norwegian eight daily services from Tromsø, both to Oslo and to other major cities.[11] Widerøe operates to various regional airports in Northern Norway using a fleet of Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft. As of 2012 it had 23 daily services from Langnes.[10] West Air Sweden operates cargo services for Norway Post. Lufttransport has its main base at Langnes. There are also charter services to Mediterranean destinations and to Murmansk and Arkhangelsk in Russia. Inbound charter flights are often flown from central parts of Europe to Tromsø with tourists.[29]
Langnes handled 1,910,692 passengers, 43,219 aircraft movements and 2,758 tonnes of cargo in 2014. This makes Tromsø the fifth-busiest airport in the country.[2]

I have this hanging over my nine foot dining room table and it is just the right size, not too small and not overwhelming. As another review stated the ring that you hang the crystals on is a little off, so you have to move the strands around to make it work. I also added some larger square crystals on every third strand which helps to make it look more balanced. I replaced all of the wires used to attach the crystals and added silver bow tie connectors. The crystals may not be 35% lead but they are not plastic as someone stated.
The chandelier is hanging over our stairway/hallway upstairs. It's very nice, even though the crystals are plastic, you can't tell. One review said the crystals were already attached to the chandelier but unfortunately mine wasn't and it was hard putting them on, my nails paid a price for it and you can't wear gloves cuz the holes are small. Description should definitely say you need to put the crystals on yourself! There's no description showing you how to install it, but my husband managed. I would recommend this if you're looking for something contemporary.
this light was the perfect solution for over our kitchen table. i wanted a chandalier with a shade, my husband a pendant style fixture. this was the perfect compromise. i love the open feel it gives to our space, the cystals look beautiful and are easy enough to attach. everyone who sees it loves it. it also throws a great shadow onto the ceiling. we put it on a dimmer so it has great versatility. i am very pleased with this purchase and would definately recommend.
Beautiful Chandelier. I have it in my master bedroom sitting area. I did not use the rod extensions & mounted flush to ceiling. Only surprise was the beads were plastic. (Once installed you could not tell they were plastic though). Good purchase
Very happy with the chandelier. Does not look cheap. Love the rustic and traditional look of the chandelier. It was packaged very well. Instructions were vague like the other instructions I have received from overstock.com. I have learned to decipher them. I took the recommendation from other reviewers to control the tilt effect/look of the crystal strings by 1) moving the crystal strings from one side to the other to balance the weight; and 2) adding an additional crystal to the bottom to some of the crystal strings, but the tilt was still too visible for me. My DH was able to reduce the tilt by moving the inside circle around. Two days after installation (in our dining room), I decided to shorten the crystal strings to the length of the cage bottom like it MUCH better. To me, this made it look cleaner/sharper. Also, we don't notice the tilt effect/look any more at this height it may be an optical illusion but works for us.
Very classy and sophicated looking light. The size and color are perfect.
Bought a home an in the living room was two ugly light fixtures so I replaced them with these
I saw this light and wanted it for a powder room, but was worried it would be too big for the area. Because of the open design and the crystals, it is perfect. I have it centered over a vessel sink, hung closer to the ceiling, and it is just beautiful. The light it puts off is gorgeous, and as another reviewer said, it throws sparkles of light all over the walls. Highly recommend this as an eye-catching conversation piece! If you are OCD, it might bother you that the crystals hang at slightly different lengths. But, with time and patience, they can be adjusted to all be the same, though it looks pretty with the slight variance. Love it! Love it! Love it!
Very classy looking and a wonderful eye catching chandelier for 12 foot ceilings
Doesnt give off enough lite, but it looks good.

Renegade general challenges Libyan government
Comment on this storyAbyar/Tripoli, Libya - A Libyan renegade general called on the government to hand over power to the country's top judges, mounting a challenge against Tripoli as heavy fighting erupted in the capital on Wednesday.
Western powers fear a call by General Khalifa Haftar for army units to join his campaign will split the nascent military and trigger more turmoil in the oil producing country which is struggling to restore order three years after the fall of strongman Muammar Gaddafi.
The government is unable to control the militias who helped oust Muammar Gaddafi in a Nato-backed 2011 uprising but are now defying authority.
"I call on the top judicial council to form a crisis government to oversee the next elections," said the retired general, dressed in uniform and surrounded by senior officers.
The council is independent and is one of the few state bodies respected by normal Libyans tired of anarchy and militias.
Haftar said government and parliament had lost any legitimacy because they were unable to purge the Opec producer of extremists roaming around unchallenged.
His campaign got a boost after Libya's top air defence commander declared support for his campaign which kicked off on Friday with a strike against Ansar Sharia and other militant groups in the eastern city of Benghazi.
Culture Minister Habib Amin also announced his backing, the first government minister to join Haftar's forces. He said parliament had failed to fight "terrorists", echoing Haftar's rhetoric.
"I don't recognise the (General National) Congress (assembly) anymore," Amin told Reuters.
Tripoli residents reported several loud explosions early on Wednesday near the al-Yarmouk air defence barracks after air defence top commander Juma al-Abani released a video message saying he was joining "Operation Dignity", Haftar's campaign against Islamists.
Heavy fighting involving anti-aircraft machine guns mounted on trucks also broke out overnight near an army camp in Tajoura, an eastern suburb, witnesses said. The city was quiet by dawn.
At least two people from Mali died in the fighting, a health ministry source said.
Compounding the political chaos, state news agency LANA said on Wednesday the interior ministry had also joined Haftar's campaign, a report that was dismissed minutes later by the acting interior minister.
Libya has been plunged into turmoil since its 2011 uprising ended Muammar Gaddafi's one-man rule.
Many Libyans have grown frustrated with the government and parliament's failure to contain Islamist fighters and other militias who took part in rebellion and who have since openly defied the authorities to demand more oil wealth and power.
Haftar, a former Gaddafi ally who split with the autocrat in the 1980s, is the latest player to emerge in Libya's network of former fighters vying for control over parts of the country.
Culture Minister Habib Lamin, who has acted as cabinet spokesman, told Reuters some deputies had asked the government to arm the Islamist militant group Ansar Sharia to confront Haftar.
"The government rejected this," he said and, underlining tensions between government and parliament, accused deputies of having contributed to the chaos by approving militia funding in the past.
The parliament is split between Islamist parties loosely allied to the Muslim Brotherhood, the anti-Islamist National Forces Alliance, and scores of independents and tribal leaders of varying allegiances.
Western governments are concerned Libya's instability may worsen and spill over into its North African neighbours, who are still emerging from the political unrest following the 2011 "Arab Spring" revolts.
Libya's new Prime Minister Ahmed Maiteeq on Wednesday called for negotiations to end Libya's crisis and said he wanted to form a new cabinet open to all political factions which reject violence.
"I personally promise to hold negotiations with all sides," said Maiteeq, without mentioning Haftar by name, in his first press conference since he was elected this month in a chaotic parliamentary vote disputed by some lawmakers.
Militiamen, who Haftar later said were loyal to him, stormed the General National Congress (GNC), Libya's parliament, and fought for six hours with other armed groups on the airport road on Sunday.
Two days earlier, Haftar's troops had attacked Islamist militants in Benghazi in the worst clashes in the eastern city for months, killing more than 70 people.
In a further sign of unrest, gunmen abducted three Chinese engineers from their construction site in the eastern city of Benghazi on Tuesday, according to China's official press agency, Xinhua.
One was later found shot and died in hospital while his two colleagues were released, Xinhua reported. - Reuters
