Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA currently operates 99 jet aircraft, of which 86 are 737-800s, five are 737-300s and eight are 787-8 Dreamliners. The company has opted to modernize the fleet with state-of-the-art Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
The Boeing 737-800 is among the most environmentally friendly aircraft available, reducing per seat CO2 emissions by 23 % compared to the 737-300 and by as much as 33 % compared to the MD80. The new aircraft also improve operational reliability and on-time performance as well as reduce maintenance and other technical costs.
In January 2012, Norwegian placed an order with both Boeing and Airbus to purchase 222 aircraft - wherof 100 Boeing 737 MAX8, 22 Boeing 737-800 and 100 Airbus A320neo. The order is Europe's largest ever single aircraft order. When the airline's older 737-300s are phased out, it will have one of the most modern, efficient and environmentally friendly fleets in commercial operation.
Norwegian has ordered 17 Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner for its long-haul operations. The company currently has eight Dreamliners in its long-haul fleet.
Boeing 787 Dreamliner
The 787 Dreamliner is a plane for the future, with high passenger comfort, low operating costs and reduced emissions. The aircraft is the most environmentally friendly option available, with 20 percent less emissions than comparable aircraft. In addition to its operational benefits, the 787 Dreamliner features a number of innovations that will benefit passengers, such as larger windows and a more silent cabin. In conventional planes, the pressure in the cabin is set to simulate an altitude of 2.400 metres. The 787 Dreamliner is set at 1.800 metres, which in turn reduces typical "jet lag" symptoms such as headaches and muscle pain. Read more about the 787 Dreamliner here.
Boeing 737-800The Boeing 737-800 aircraft serve all routes in Norwegian's network, but are typically allocated to high-density routes and long routes to North Africa, The Canary Islands and Dubai due to the longer range and higher efficiency of the aircraft.The Boeing 737-800 is a short to medium haul single-aisle aircraft that entered service in 1998 and is still in production. Today's fleet have both a 189 and 186 seat configuration. Future deliveries will feature 186 Recaro seats that increase the passengers' overall legroom, Boeing SKY Interior and in-flight WiFi. All Boeing 737-800 have performance enhancing winglets installed.
Boeing 737-300The Boeing 737-300 aircraft serve most of Norwegian's network with the exception of flights to North Africa, The Canary Islands, Dubai and domestic flights in Sweden.The Boeing 737-300 is a short to medium haul single-aisle aircraft that entered service in 1984 and went out of production in 1999. The majority of the -300 fleet has a 148 seat configuration. Four aircraft are retrofitted with performance enhancing winglets and have new Recaro seats that increase passenger legroom.

About Me Casual, Sexy
Comments about 7 For All Mankind BELL BOTTOM SUPER FLARE IN VINTAGE CALIFORNIA:
I'm a stay at home mom w/ two little boys. I wear a hemmed pair of these every day to the playground w/ a tee shirt and flip flops. When date night comes I wear my unhemmed pair w/ platform heels. Love love love these. I want them in every color and weight. I believe they are true to size, may feel tight at first, but stretch out fast.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

best. jeans. ever.
By glittering kaleidoscope
from Philadelphia, PA
About Me Comfortable
These are the jeans I've been searching high and low for! I do wish I could find jeans that don't have stretch, but for the material I can't find a better fit. They fit exactly the way I want through the thighs and have a wide 70's bell which I LOVE and haven't been able to find anywhere. I am usually a size 27 & I think they are true to size and I probably didn't need to size up to a 28 but it doesn't really matter these jeans are AMAZING. They are straight through the thigh which is flattering to my proportionately chubby thighs and even after hemming the bell bottom is still perfect. I LOVE THEM, please make more and I will buy them!!!
Great, great, great!
By Stl78

About Me Casual, Classic
These jeans are fabulous! The bell bottom is huge, just what I was looking for. They will most definitely need to be hemmed unless you're over 6 feet ( yes, annoying)The website says to size up but I do not agree with that at all, I always wear a 30 and that is what I wear in these!
My favorite jeans!!
By Gorgie
from Miami
About Me Trendy
Flares are right on trend this season, but for those of us who wanna take it to the next level; these are the perfect jeans for that "super bell bottom statement". The combination of thick/structured jean and high waist is slimming, and flattering. Vintage California is a medium blue that goes great with this seasons must have yellow.True to size. Wash and dry without fading or shrinking.
Cool cut, but VERY long
By Brandi
from San Francisco
About Me Casual
The denim is very comfy and the fit around the waist, thighs, and seat is flattering. My only complaint is that to prevent these from dragging on the ground, you'd have to be 6'1 in 3 inch heels...there is a ton of extra fabric at the bottom. I'm 5'8 and had the pants hemmed with 3 inch platforms on and they are still plenty long (covering the entire shoe and skimming the ground). I'm lucky I have an awesome tailor - the pants are perfect, post-alteration.
Finally the perfect jean
By C
from Boca Raton FL
About Me Career, Classic, Sexy
Great fit and feel. Quite long and I'm 5'7. I swear all pants are made for run way models. However it's worth the price of getting them hemmed. These are by far my favorite jeans snd I own quite a bit.
gorgeous, but run small
By allison
from boston, ma
i love, love, LOVE these, but i found them to run small compared with my other sevens. was able to send it back for the next size up, so hopefully that will fit!
Great bell bootom jeans

Chief, Laboratory of ImmunologyChief, Cytokine Biology Unit, LINational Institutes of Health Distinguished Investigator
The Cytokine Biology Unit studies the mechanisms of action and biologic functions of cytokines, emphasizing the role of the type II cytokines (IL-4, IL-13, and IL-5) as well as members of the IL-1 cytokine family. The unit also carries out research on the mechanisms through which naïve CD4 T cells differentiate into the various Th phenotypes, most notably into the molecular mechanisms underlying Th2 commitment. It has recently emphasized innate functions of lymphocytes, both those of conventional Th cells, most notably the capacity of Th2 cells to produce IL-13 and IL-5 in response to cytokine signals, and the consequent protective functions of these cells. An important research effort now centers on a newly described population of innate lymphoid cells, Kbri cells, that act as progenitors of ILC2 and ILC3 cells and respond to inflammatory/infectious stimulants. It has developed new strategies to enhance immune responses with the goal of increasing the protective capacity of weak vaccines.

Flexibility and plasticity among CD4 Th cells.

Another state agency has taken a stance against the controversial Charles County comprehensive plan.
In a letter dated Aug. 23 from Maryland Department of Transportation Secretary James Smith to commissioners' President Candice Quinn Kelly (D), Smith urged Kelly to consider MDOT's "additional concerns with the draft plan" that passed in a 5-2 vote by the Charles County Planning Commission last month.
"MDOT is concerned that given a finite market (as is true for any county), opening new rural areas to proposed growth and additional development will compete with the proposed mixed use development in the Transit Corridor," Smith wrote in the letter.
Smith went on to write that concentrating growth outside of the urban area contradicts the county's stated plans for future transportation projects, and added that it "may adversely affect the competitiveness of any future federal application for transit funding as part of the Federal Transit Administration's scoring is for local land use policies/regulations and the relative supportiveness of these policies and regulations to the success of the proposed transit service."
Smith concluded by urging Kelly and the other county commissioners to examine the plan further while it is before them, and added that MDOT would be open to discussion on the matter.
Kelly expressed her appreciation for "such a straightforward letter" in a phone interview Friday.
"The quality of life for our citizens depends on a reasonable commute, and I'm glad [Smith] said it," Kelly said. "I repeat then what I've said for the last year or two, but some of the planning commission members' relationships with lobbyists and special interest groups ... are inappropriate and are not in the best interest of the citizens. The plan has been universally panned by every state agency, and they can't all be wrong. This plan is wrong. This is the plan of a special interest group influenced in a way that is unacceptable."
Kelly remained firm in her stance against the plan.
"It's very discouraging that my colleagues ... would have been so reckless about this," Kelly said. "They stood by and watched this all happen, and anyone can see that this doesn't pass the smell test. I can't imagine how this board wouldn't want to see this plan get rejected."
Earlier last month, Maryland Department of Planning Secretary Rich Hall referred to the passage of the plan as "pitiful" on his personal Facebook account. Commissioners' Vice President Reuben B. Collins II (D) responded in a letter to the editor Aug. 14 in the Maryland Independent, defending the action taken by the planning commission and stating that the issue is one of "local autonomy."
Collins said Friday that he had read Smith's letter "about four or five times already." Smith, a former circuit court judge whom Collins said he respects immensely, may not have had all the facts, Collins said.
"It was very inconsistent with previous documentation from the state. Smith has not had an opportunity to look at all the facts and everything the county has done," Collins said. "Had he had that before him, I think he'd have made a different decision. I'd also like to know what jurisdiction the state is using as a model of smart growth that's anywhere similar to Charles County in terms of growth over the last decade."
Collins noted that the county has remained consistent in centering growth inside the confines of the development district.
"That's smart growth," Collins said. "The county has worked hard to develop a relationship, a partnership with the state for that sorely needed tax money. I hope and pray that in no way has nothing been done to politicize it. There's been a consistency in our policies. The county has been consistent with our goals and objectives relative to transportation. One of the arguments I've heard is that the new plan is too much like the 2006 plan. Everything we've shown the state has been based on the 2006 plan. I think if anything else, we're willing to listen, but the protocol historically has been responses and suggestions come after approval, and this plan hasn't been approved yet."
Commissioner Debra M. Davis (D) said she had not yet read the proposed plan.
"I stand by my position that land use is local, and for some reason, this is important for the state, for them to continue usurping their powers," Davis said Tuesday. "We haven't even had a chance to look at this plan yet, and I don't know why they're so anxious about it."
Commissioner Ken Robinson (D) said the letter from MDOT came as "no surprise" to him, given that the board previously has received letters from other state agencies criticizing the contents of the plan.
"My feeling is that what's currently been approved is a regressive plan, and completely dismisses the hard work of expert county staff and the input and time of so many citizens," he said Tuesday. "I think we all know that if this plan is approved, there will be consequences, and secretaries Hall and Smith have made that clear."
Planning Commission Chairman Stephen Bunker said he sees MDOT's letter as "adding to the chorus" of state agencies that stand opposed to the plan.
"I think when [MDOT] reviewed the plan earlier this year they were looking at its technical issues," Bunker said Tuesday. "Now they've realized that there's other issues and that they need to come down a little harder. The message, I think, is that Maryland won't want to invest in communities that don't practice smart growth and won't protect the environment."
Earlier this year, the Maryland Department of the Environment and Maryland Department of Natural Resources wrote letters criticizing the contents of the comprehensive plan. MDOT and MDP also sent letters weighing in.
County Commissioner Bobby Rucci (D) and planning commission Vice Chairman Joseph Richard did not return requests for comment.

Nature and benign neglect brought me my first volunteer garden the year after my daughter's birth, when I managed the planting and harvesting but skipped the post-harvest garden cleanup.
Lo and behold, the following spring, tiny lettuces sprang up with the dandelions and quackgrass, soon followed by cilantro, dill, cosmos, and other annual flowers. The year after that, parsley and forgotten parsnips came up, made beautiful flowers favored by pollinators, then set seed that popped up the following year in April. To get an abundance of volunteer crops, all I had to do was thin the volunteers.
I started calling it my perennial garden, and decades later, I make a game of seeing how many crops (from non-hybrid seeds) I can get to keep coming back year after year.
A couple of days ago, I discovered many beautiful slender zucchini-like fruits ripening on a volunteer plant that had emerged from the compost pile and wandered into the asparagus patch. No doubt they came from the seed of one of last summer's hybrid squash varieties, so it wasn't true to the variety I'd purchased, but beautiful in its own right, with a delicate, nutty flavor.
Harvesting those squash got me to pondering the volunteer side of life in a broader context, all those serendipitous moments when life volunteers something that produces welcome but unexpected fruit. A few examples sprang to mind:
- The phone conversation with my neighbor who said her 11 year-old daughter was bored stiff at home that summer. As it happened, I was desperate for someone to spend time with my toddler daughter, so I could retire to my attic office for a few undisturbed hours of writing. What a great arrangement! Molly got a responsible, devoted companion for about four hours a day, and Susan escaped her boredom and discovered the joy of earning her own spending money.
- My old Honda was ready for the scrap heap the day I heard a guy at the corner store telling someone that he'd just agreed to park a friend's three-year-old Toyota Corolla on his lawn, hoping for a quick sale. Said it was in perfect condition with only 27,000 miles and was going for $6000. My old Honda had just died, so I hustled right over. The car checked out with my mechanic, I could afford it, and Shazam! I'm still driving that Corolla 13 years later.
- Enjoying dinner out at a Chinese restaurant, instead of trying to tune out the loud stories coming from the party in the adjoining booth, I tuned in. In half an hour, I got three great ideas for the weekly column I was writing at the time.
- A former colleague told me that he was often punished as a child by being sent alone into a fenced back yard. There weren't any toys or play equipment, so he spent most of his time there sprawled on the grass, observing insect activity. He never lost his fascination with ants and beetles and went on to a PhD and a distinguished career in entomology.
Life's randomness sows endless moments when some overheard snippet, some seemingly ordinary encounter—even a painful one—delivers something useful.
But the trick is keeping one's inner eye peeled, prepared for the fruitful moment. In truth, both nature and life volunteer many fruitful moments, but we ourselves are the most important volunteers.

I'm starting school in may and thinking about buying my first welder. So while going to school I can learn on my own welder at home. I am thinking of getting the 252. I would like to buy just one mig welder if I can. But I am not sure if this would be a good all around welder. I will be mostly welding things related to my jeep project ie: motor mounts, suspension, and axle. So i definitely want a welder that can weld more than adequately for me but still be able weld sheet metal.
So is the 252 a good all around welder or is it mostly geared toward thicker material. Or should I get a Dvi or 212 and then later on buy a tig for thicker materials.

First welder / Millermatic® 252
A MM 212 will weld anything on your Jeep. But as my wife says bigger is better so if you can swing a MM 252 go for it....BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

alright but wants the thinest it can weld?
Well as the title states:
Millermatic® 252
Welds material from 22 gauge to 1/2 in thick in a single pass. Highest output in its class.
I used to own a 251 and it was a great machine, more machine than most need at home, I think a 212 would be the way to go, although I think I would check out a Hobart Handler 210 first. Packs a big punch for a small machine, shorter duty cycle but I doubt you'd even notice.at home:

alright thanks

Another option would be the Passport Plus. We have both the Passport & 252 at work and side by side the passport welds just as good and gives the convenience of being 110v or 220v by just changing the plug end which is a quick change fitting. It's also portable and cheaper. JMO

ok what about the dvi-2 is it any good? or am i better off with the passport or the 212?
does anyone have any recommendations on any good websites to buy from
I don't have any experience with the dvi-2, but you can't go wrong with either the Passport or the 252. As far as websites go, I like www.cyberweld.com

While I don't have a MM252, I do have a MM251 and have been very happy with the machine.
If the price of a MM252 is in your "budget", by all means, go with the larger machine. Old saying, "the large machine can be dialed down but the smaller machine can't be dialed up (beyond it's capability).
The MM252 has "infinitely adjustable" voltage as well as wire speed, which adds to the utility, especially when dialing the unit down.
The MM252 also is plug ready for the 30A spoolgun, which is a more robust unit than the smaller guns.
The only disadvantage I see in using the MM252 for light (sheet metal) work is the size of the gun. The M25 is rather large for light work. The Bernard Q300 gun (which was available for exchange) is also a little large. The solution here, if it's a concern, is to pick up an extra M10/M15 gun off the internet for around $100 or so. That way you could set the smaller gun up for .023 wire and use the standard gun for .035.
I can't remember one poster coming on the boards stating that, "I bought too big a mig". On the other hand, most people starting out, buy a small mig and then either upgrade (costly) or just eventually buy a larger unit to supplement what they already have.
Just my .02
I started using the 251 in college, and now my students are using the 252, and we love it. it will weld both thin and thick very well, and i cannot see working without it most of the time. Hope it helps.
