Included in this category are fuses and fuseholders, LV and MV breakers, relaying equipment, line monitoring equipment, GFCI and GFEP interrupters, and neutral ground resistors.
Minimizing damage to electrical equipment and prevention of injury to personnel are the principal reasons for applying protective devices. As such, the rating of the overcurrent protective device must be adequate for the system which is being protected. These ratings include voltage, frequency, continuous current, fault-interrupting or withstand capacity, and operating or ambient conditions. The development of circuit breakers and fuses of higher ratings has permitted their application on the large systems occurring today.
System protection and coordination
System protection, according to IEEE, is "the detection and prompt isolation of the affected portion of the system whenever a short circuit or other abnormality occurs that might cause damage to, or adversely affect, the operation of any portion of the system or the load it supplies." System coordination, also according to IEEE, is the "selection or setting, or both, of protective devices so as to isolate that portion of the system where the abnormality occurs."
These two functions are the key to a properly designed electrical system and should be considered along with other particular features of the system. The correct way to approach this task is to examine system protection at each stage of design planning, and include into the final system design an integrated protection plan that can be easily coordinated and provide flexibility for future growth.
Circuit breakers
Low-voltage circuit breakers are divided into three main categories: thermal-magnetic or solid-state trip molded case; solid-state trip enclosed (hybrid); and power air circuit breakers. Molded-case CBs range from residential 15A single-pole types to 1200A and larger 3-pole thermal-magnetic trip CBs, with solid-state trips on larger units up to 4000A. Voltage ratings range from 120V to 600V, and interrupting capacities from 5kA to 200kA.
Solid-state trip units provide increased accuracy and protection. Larger enclosed or plastic-cased breakers are hybrids between molded-case and power air breakers, and are available as drawout units with most power switchgear options. Available accessories include shunt trips, remote operation, and auxiliary and alarm switching contacts.
For high fault-current applications, molded-case CBs are available with integral current limiters (special fuses), or as unfused true current-limiting devices. For motor circuits, instantaneous magnetic-only CBs with no thermal overload are available and are used only in a combination motor starter, which has the thermal overload relay for overload protection.
Low-voltage fuses can be divided into two categories: 0 to 600A with many types and UL classes available; and 601 to 6000A, available in only one standard UL class. Most are current limiting, with interrupting ratings of 200kA.
Class H fuses are one-time cartridge types with renewable or nonrenewable fusible links, limited in application by their interrupting rating of only 10kA. For higher interrupting ratings, Class K fuses are current limiting and physically interchangeable with Class H fuses. Class R fuses are similar to the Class K except that they have a rejection means to prevent insertion of a non-current-limiting fuse into the fuseholder. Other current-limiting fuses with special dimensions are the Class J, T, and G types.
Medium-voltage fuses are expulsion or current-limiting types. The expulsion type is available in a wider variety of ratings, is slower in operation, and in addition easier to coordinate. The current-limiting type is faster and emits no gases, but has lower maximum continuous and interrupting ratings. There is little standardization in this class of fuse.
For more detailed information on low-voltage overcurrent protective devices, see the July 1991 issue of EC&M, "Special Report: Circuit Protection."

I wonder if it is of any use for a geophysicist, if we measure the magnetic field strength and direction of the earth. Could we make valid statements about the composition of the the earth, earth crust or core? What if we detect detect variations from the expected field strength, could that help us to draw a conclusion on the underlying local composition the earth?
I only know about one direct use for the magnetic field direction of the earth. Are there more use cases?

Officially speaking, we write these stories about the movie business to impart important news. All those stories we've written over the past few months about Joss Whedon's blockbuster hit The Avengers were driven purely by your collective interest in that film. The movie pulled in nearly $1.5 billion worldwide, so it seems a pretty safe bet that our readers have some interest in hearing news related to the film and its possible future implications.
That said, we also have a bit of an ulterior motive in mind when we sit down to write one of these things. Ideally we'd like you to walk away from our work having learned something, or with a newfound desire to seek out entertainment that perhaps you had never heard of before.
Why the above disclaimer? Well, it's great news for fans of Michael Jai White that the man will finally be given the sort of full-featured action movie franchise he has so obviously deserved for years, but it's also an opportunity to expose White's work to a larger audience. Many of you have likely never heard of the man, and that's a shame given that he's the closest living, youthful analogue we currently have to the larger-than-life badass action heroes of the late 1980s and early '90s. Imagine a more athletic, martial arts-focused Sylvester Stallone, who can actually act quite well, and you've got a decent idea of what Michael Jai White brings to the table.
Alright, proselytizing is momentarily over. Let's get right to the news. Courtesy Indiewire:
White has signed on to star in what is expected to be an action movie franchise from Moonstone Entertainment, titled Codename: Falcon. The franchise will revolve around a former marine named John "Falcon" Chapman, described as a "dark anti-hero driven by guilt, who will destroy himself unless given something else to destroy," making him "a useful weapon-of-last-resort for the foreign ministry."
The first film in the franchise, titled Favela, is currently in pre-production.
As for the plot behind Favela, Moonstone Entertainment offers the following, PR-approved synopsis blurb:
… Favela sees Chapman traveling to Brazil to hunt down his sister's killers, in the process discovering an underground world of drugs, prostitution, and police corruption ruled by the Japanese mafia.
That sounds like a pretty standard action movie plot. Something like a hybrid of Commando and any number of John Woo's Hong Kong classics. Normally that wouldn't reach out and grab our attention, but again, we're big fans of Michael Jai White's work, and his being given a franchise to lead is long overdue.
Listen, we don't have all day to impress upon you the idea that Michael Jai White should be standing alongside Tony Jaa in your mental roster of our modern world's most entertaining celluloid heroes, so instead we'll do this the quick way. When you next fire up Netflix, stream the film Blood And Bone. Many will claim that Michael Jai White's best work was in the 2009 blaxploitation spoof Black Dynamite, and they'd be absolutely correct, but Blood And Bone is a perfect depiction of the man's acting talents alongside his inarguable skill at making on-screen violence look both spectacular and horrifically visceral. Blood And Bone fits neatly into the B-movie subgenre, but it's amazing how many modern big-budget action movies are annihilated by comparison to this flick. If nothing else, it should offer ample evidence that Michael Jai White is a fellow to keep your eyes on.

Butler, Wis.-based Actuant Corp. reported an 85% decline in profit for its second quarter, ended Feb. 28, impacted by weak end-market demand, extended customer shutdowns and inventory reduction efforts.
The manufacturer of motion control systems and hydraulic and electrical tools and supplies reported second-quarter net income of $3.2 million compared with $22.4 million in the year-ago period while sales fell 25% to $300 million, from $400 million.
For the six months earnings declined 70% to $14.8 million versus $49.7 million the previous year and sales fell 17% to $680 million from $815 million.
Actuant's RV interests that include leveling system maker Power Gear and component and step supplier Kwikee Products Inc. are now part of company's engineered solutions segment as part of a restructuring initiative. The group showed a 42% decline in second-quarter sales reflecting "sharply lower demand from the vehicle end markets." The segment incurred an operating loss of $2.1 during the period while also reducing headcount by 18% during the quarter.
"We have and will continue to implement aggressive restructuring and cost reduction actions to help offset the impact of weaker demand," said Robert C. Arzbaecher, chairman and CEO. "We have reduced headcount, consolidated facilities, eliminated shifts and established short work-week schedules to better align our production, inventory and costs with lower customer demand. These actions drove a 10% headcount reduction in our second quarter alone."
Looking ahead, Actuant sees continued weakness in core markets for the third quarter.
"While visibility remains low, we do not expect a rebound in consumer or industrial demand to materialize during the second half of our fiscal year," Arzbaecher said. "We remain confident in the fundamental strength of the Actuant businesses, have the right long term growth strategies in place and maintain the confidence and operating experience to manage through this difficult current environment."

Our Fiscal Soul and the Arithmetic of Protecting the Poor
By Jim Wallis
The discussion we are having about "the fiscal cliff" is really a debate about our fiscal soul. What kind of nation do we want to be? We do need a path to fiscal sustainability, but will it include all of us — especially the most vulnerable? It's a foundational moral choice for the country, and one with dramatic domestic and deadly global implications. It is the most important principle for the faith community in this debate.
I had a recent conversation with an influential senator on these fiscal issues. I said to him, "You and I know the dozen or so senators, from both sides of the aisle, who could sit at your conference table here and find a path to fiscal sustainability, right?"
"Yes," he said, "we could likely name the senators who would be able to do that." I added, "And they could protect the principle and the policies that defend the poor and vulnerable, couldn't they?"
"Yes," he said, "We could do that too." "But," I asked, "Wouldn't then all the special interests come into this room to each protect their own expenditures; and the end result would be poor people being compromised, right?"
The senator looked us in the eyes and said, "That is exactly what will likely happen."
It will happen unless we have bipartisan agreement, at least by some on both political sides, to protect the poor and vulnerable in these fiscal decisions — over the next several weeks leading up to Christmas and the New Year, and then for the longer process ahead in 2013.
But for that to be viable, the arithmetic must work. Our principles won't survive unless we "find the arithmetic" to protect the poor and include the vulnerable in these crucial decisions about the nation's fiscal soul. And that moral arithmetic must ultimately be presented to the American people in clear moral values choices.
I am strongly in favor of restoring previously higher tax rates for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans — and ending their unfair loopholes and deductions — but that still won't raise enough revenue to move us toward fiscal sustainability while protecting the poor. We must make other choices in spending cuts and new revenues — but in clearly morally responsible ways. Here are just a few examples.
Are we willing to stop powerful pharmaceutical companies from preventing more than $100 billion in drugs cost savings to protect their own profits?
Will we choose to protect demonstrably effective nutritional programs (SNAP) for low-income families instead of unjust subsidies to agribusiness? Or defend things like Pell Grants to enable students from low-income families to go to college for the first time over huge subsidies to profitable oil companies? Or help refinance mortgages for struggling single homeowners instead of retaining charitable tax deductions for second and third vacation homes?
Will we realize in time that low-income tax credits for low-income working families are "pro-family measures" that both fight poverty and support economic growth?
Will we finally have an honest discussion about military spending and national security? Meeting the real needs of our veterans and defending our country means we cannot afford to fund outdated and useless weapons systems. There are many items in the Pentagon's budgets that reflect the pet projects of lawmakers and not the security needs of the nation. Our leaders must have the courage to end the business of war. The faith community must urge them to beat those swords into plowshares.
To reach fiscal sustainability long-term we must deal with the rising costs of health care. I believe, we must be ready to consider the moral argument that more affluent Medicare beneficiaries should pay higher premiums for their health insurance if it means protecting Medicaid benefits for low-income families and poor children. We need to focus on prevention and efficiency in our health system, while ensuring access and improving outcomes. Now is also the time for a national conversation on promoting healthy choices and behaviors and a civil discussion on the moral issues involved with end-of-life care that honors the dignity of each person as they prepare to rest in God's arms. As our national health care needs to continue to grow, we must be responsible with the resources we have and be vigilant about those with the greatest needs.
The biblical prophets say that a nation's "righteousness," or integrity as we might say, is determined by how they treat the poorest and most vulnerable; and Jesus said how we respond to the least of these is indicative of how we respond to him. That's because the poor and vulnerable are the monitors of how everybody else will ultimately be treated. History shows how quickly and easily human dignity can be compromised by economic and political powers — and protecting the most vulnerable is the only way to safeguard us all.
We need to find political leaders who will commit to a bipartisan and moral principle of protecting the vulnerable — now in these several weeks of debate during the Christmas holidays. That could set the principle in place for the debate over this next year in determining the "grand bargain" for our nation's fiscal direction. It would be a great moral and practical accomplishment.
Fiscal responsibility means ensuring that the money we spend is truly accomplishing what it should and that means constant reform and improvement of both the private and public sectors. And, true fiscal responsibility means making the necessary investments today to ensure a future for generations to come. But, the line in the sand for the faith community should always be that the poorest and most vulnerable are truly protected.

HEADACHE and EffexorPatientsVille
HEADACHE Symptoms and Causes
Almost everyone has had a Headache. Headache is the most common form of pain. It's a major reason people miss days at work or school or visit the doctor.
The most common type of Headache is a tension Headache. Tension Headaches are due to tight muscles in your shoulders, neck, scalp and jaw. They are often related to stress, depression or anxiety. You are more likely to get tension Headaches if you work too much, don't get enough sleep, miss meals, or use alcohol.
Other common types of Headaches include migraines, cluster Headaches, and sinus Headaches. Most people can feel much better by making lifestyle changes, learning ways to relax and taking pain relievers.
Not all Headaches require a doctor's attention. But sometimes Headaches warn of a more serious disorder. Let your health care provider know if you have sudden, severe Headaches. Get medical help right away if you have a Headache after a blow to your head, or if you have a Headache along with a stiff neck, fever, confusion, loss of consciousness, or pain in the eye or ear.

A man who starred on a Fox reality show will be arraigned next week for torturing and murdering his porn star ex-girlfriend, police said Friday, just a month after fellow reality TV bachelor Ryan Jenkins killed his model girlfriend -- then hung himself.
Brian Lee Randone, who was featured on Fox's "The Sexiest Bachelor in America" and starred as a self-proclaimed preacher on the series, was charged last week with killing ex-girlfriend Felicia Lee during a fight in their California home. If he's convicted, he faces 25 years in prison.
Randone was arrested Sept. 11 after he beat and choked Lee in Monrovia, prosecutors said. The two had lived together for several months, according to Sgt. Brian Schoonmaker, who worked on the case.
Lee suffered dozens of injuries in the day before she died, Schoonmaker said.
"It appeared to be torture prior to the murder," he said.
Randone appeared in 2000 on the Fox show, on which he competed against contestants from other states to win the title. Randone didn't win the competition.
The evangelist entertainer, who has a bachelor's degree from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and a master's of divinity degree from Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas., spoke on the show about his involvement in ministry and his Christian faith.
"I hope to talk about qualities that are really important, what's inside, such as faithfulness, love, commitment and self-control, the masculine characteristics of a Christian," Randone wrote on a Web site in 2000.
Lee had bit parts in movies "Rush Hour 2" and "The Fast and the Furious" and modeled for Playboy's television channel, according to her Web site. She also performed in adult movies under the name Felicia Tang.

Swimming Pool Blog
by Rob Cox November 26, 2013
Gifts for Swimming Pool People
They say that some people are hard to buy for. What do you get the person who has everything? Well, if that person truly has everything, they must have a swimming pool. And if they have a swimming pool, this opens a wide new category for you to select gifts from. Do you see where I'm going with this?
Let me give you a few categories of swimming pool items that would make great gifts. Some of these are best suited for younger pool users, boys and girls, while others are items of convenience and relaxation, for the hard working pool owner to enjoy their pool more.
Our recently expanded floats and lounges is actually four sub-categories - Deluxe Pool Lounges, Foam Pool Floats, Spring Floats and Floating Lounges. Over 40 pool floats to choose from, there's a float for everyone, from kids to big boys. Everyone likes a pool float as a gift. For a less expensive floating option, see our Inflatables section, with over 100 items displayed. Riders, Rockers, Rings - even stand-up paddle boards.
Sometimes, all we need to get motivated to workout is some cool workout gear. We have two types of stationary swimmer belts, which keep you attached, as you swim in place (no more flip turns!), or we have the full line of AquaJogger pool fitness gear. Kickboards or the Swim Trainer can help keep arms afloat while working on kicks. Goggles, masks and fins are also available, here.
Most pool toys are bought for, and used by - people of a certain age. However, our pool sports section, with games like Pool Volleyball or Basketball, are a hit with older folks too! Also popular with the older set is the Floating Pool Golf. 3 types of pool golf games to choose from. Jumbo beach balls are fun for all ages, aren't they? I think so.
These are sneaky little gifts that say "you should throw more pool parties (and invite me)!" Not really, some of the items in this category lend themselves to a fun adult pool party, but much of this stuff is great any old time, or are great conveniences, like the Poolside Storage Box, or the Grecian Floating Fountain. Fun to give, fun to get.
These gifts show that you care, with items like Pool Alarms and Door Alarms, or one of our many pool pet safety items. Or, you can always give the gift of signage. We have lots of signs, over 30 of them - serious and seriously funny pool signs.
Take a look at the many gift ideas for pool owners, and if you can't settle on the perfect present, you can always send them a gift certificate, which they are sure to use - unlike those gift cards that never seem to be spent.
- Rob

Parishioners want church declared historic; bishop objects
Members of a 66-year-old church in Brickell want their house of worship declared historic to prevent a tower, hotel or condo like the ones that surround it from replacing it.
But the church hierarchy is opposing historic designation, saying that it has no plans to sell to a developer but doesn't want government interference in a future expansion. Miami's Historic and Environmental Preservation Board agreed to consider the members request after an emotional meeting at City Hall on Tuesday.
Saint Jude Melkite Greek Catholic Church, on the corner of Brickell Avenue and 15th Road, has survived hurricanes and building booms since it was built in 1946, as a chapel for a Roman Catholic boarding school for girls. In the 1960s, the school's nuns took care of several Cuban girls during Operation Pedro Pan, an exodus that the Catholic church helped to coordinate. In the 1970s, the property was divided and the school was sold to make way for the Palace Condominium. The chapel became a Melkite Catholic church in 1978.
Dozens of church members asked the historic board to preserve their church. The issue was emotional, because "the church is full of priceless memories of weddings and baptisms," church member Souraya Dolly Faas said. Celebrities such as Madonna, baseball player Mike Piazza, and former Gov. Jeb Bush's son, John Ellis Bush Jr., have been married or held baptisms in the sanctuary.
"This church means a lot to a lot of people," Faas said. "It needs to be protected."
But Eparchial Bishop Nicholas Samra called the parishioners seeking historic status "dissidents" and "rebels." He said they were motivated by "an outright blatant lie" — that the church hierarchy was planning to sell the land to developers who would then demolish the building
"As bishop, I have never said that we are selling the property," Samra said. "And we have no intention of selling."
The main area of discord focused on defining the "primary significance" of the church to the community — a factor the board will have to consider. The church's attorney, Juan Muñiz, said the significance is that it is a place of worship. The parishioners' attorney, Gilberto Pastoriza, said that the church was one of Miami's "architectural historic gems."
Muñiz said a historic designation would violate the First Amendment right to free exercise of religion. St. Jude's Rev. Damon Geiger said this is because they believe that the historic designation will come with complications.
"Our parish membership is rapidly expanding. Our largest Sunday divine liturgy at 6 o'clock in the evening on Sundays is in Spanish, and it's already overflowing the capacity of our church to contain it," Geiger said. "We must have the freedom to expand the church buildings for our needs."
If the city grants the historical designation, the church's development rights would not be hindered, said historian Timothy Barber, a member of the preservation board. The board has approved similar "necessary expansions" at the Freedom Tower in downtown and the Lyric Theater in Overtown.
"A misconception about the historic preservation is that you can't do any work on the site after the designation. That is not true," Barber said. "You are able to build an addition to the historic building based on the needs of the facility. The board has to approve the plan."
Bishop Samra asked officials to not take up the case, and to give him more time to look into other options, such as applying to sell development rights. Landowners have the ability to sever different rights from the property and sell them separately.
Attorney Lucia Dougherty, of Greenberg Traurig, said that a transfer of development rights would be an ideal solution. The planning program, she said, "allows property owners in historically or environmentally sensitive areas to sell the development rights." This would assure parishioners that the property would not be developed and the church would benefit financially from the sale of the development rights, Dougherty said.
Since the landowner's approval is not required for the historic designation, the board voted unanimously to take the case. Now they have to decide whether the church meets the standards for historic designation. They will discuss the issue in March.

She was the all-purpose catalyst for the Lady Bobcats, who won a co-championship in Region 7-3A with a 9-1 record.

More spy shots have surfaced of Mitsubishi's redesigned Outlander (let's all sing it together) crossover SUV. Working up a competitive offering in this category is part of the company's turnaround effort, and its decision to take it midsize is likely to fill the gap left by its outgoing Montero Sport. The new ' lander be based on a modified version of the Lancer platform, making it ever more car-like than the Monty. Word is they'll be including a third row of seats destined to crush the dignity and knees of all invited to shoehorn their adult arses back there. It'll also be a contender in the horsepower wars, with a new version of Mitsu's 3.0-liter V6 that could produce 250 hp.

The market just jumped a bit (though it's still negative) on headlines about Greece reaching a 5-year austerity plan with the Troika.
Pay it no mind: The challenge is not the Greek government agreeing to an austerity deal. The challenge is getting the Greek parliament to agree to a deal, and that's always been -- and still is -- the main challenge.

I want to change the HDD in my G550 Lenovo laptop and need to know if the internal HDD SATA port is SATA I type / SATA-150 or if is SATA II type / SATA-300.
Could an SSD be used?
The G550 supports SATA II HDDs although SATA I drives can also be used - the data transfer rate will just be somewhat less. SSD devices should work - some SSD mechanical designs around the connector area may cause complications with installation / mounting.
how can we improve it?

There are four Marvel movies hitting theaters in 2014, and the first of the group, Captain America: The Winter Soldier released its first full-length trailer last week, taking advantage of the Marvel movie buzz surrounding the press junket for Thor: The Dark World and its worldwide theatrical release beginning this week in the UK.
The third of the bunch, joining The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in theaters next May is X-Men: Days of Future Past, and its studio Twentieth Century Fox took advantage of last week's buzz to let fans know that its first trailer was on the way as well. Fox kicked off its official marketing campaign with an Instagram teaser, a series of photos from cover stories in print magazines and a Twitter livechat with director Bryan Singer yesterday where he hinted at what was to come from the first Days of Future Past trailer.
With principal photography wrapping in August and lots of post-production special effects work still required, Singer explained during his Twitter Q&A that today's first teaser trailer for the biggest X-Men team-up yet is focused squarely on the characters, much like the rough footage was that played at San Diego Comic-Con back in July. And of course, there are a lot of them.
As it turns out the trailer is nearly identical to the Comic-Con footage, featuring interesting shots in the past (1973) and future, the latter of which we see returning characters from the original X-Men trilogy with new, combat-appropriate costumes. The major change from the Days of Future Past comics is that instead of sending Kitty Pryde back in time, the movie will send film franchise poster boy Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) - or more specifically, his conscience - back in time to his younger, '70s self to reunite Professor X, Magneto and other old school X-Men to prevent a certain event in the past from happening to save their future.
Singer revealed that about 70% of the film takes place in the past so it does serve more as a sequel to X-Men: First Class, and as for the new characters including Bishop, Sunspot, Warpath and Blink, who show up only in the future - They're teased but are given no dialogue in the trailer. Some of these characters will have important roles to play since they're the most likely to live on into sequels and spinoffs (see: X-Force).
X-Men: Days of Future Past is the first film in the long-running series to introduce time travel, a major plot device in Marvel Comics, and has the potential to redefine the franchise, correcting continuity errors of the past and laying the groundwork for the future. Does the trailer and its vastly different style and mood hold up against the action-packed first look at Captain America 2 and can its ambitious use of two casts and two time periods help Days of Future Past see big numbers at the box office?
Bryan Singer directs X-Men: Days of Future Past with newcomers Peter Dinklage, Omar Sy, Boo Boo Stewart, Fan Bingbing, Evan Peters, Adan Canto, Josh Helman, along with returning stars Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Halle Berry, Lucas Till, and Daniel Cudmore.
X-Men: Days of Future Past on May 23, 2014.

We've barely recovered from William's fatal trip to Memphis on "This Is Us," but as the stars of the NBC hit tell it, fans better buckle up because the hits keep coming.
With only two episodes left go before season one is over, Milo Ventimiglia and his castmates are warning that the season finale is going to leave fans shaken in ways we may not quite have expected.
"I really hope that people have recovered from William's passing. I know I barely have," Papa Pearson told E! News. "But we've started to see the cracks of a relationship, a 20-plus year relationship, appear, and we know we're going into uncharted territory with this once bright-eyed, loving couple that now, 20 years later, are trying to stand on their own individual feet, not collective for the family...We're going down a path and on a road that is going to scare a lot of people with regards to the sanctity of the relationship of Jack and Rebecca."
Going Behind the Scenes of This Is Us With the Adorable Cast
Justin Hartley, who stars as Jack's grown son Kevin, echoed his TV dad's words, while throwing a new word into the mix. "I can tell you hold on tight. It's intense. It's intense, man. It gets heavy. Very heavy," he teased. "This is a different kind of heavy. It's a different kind of heavy. It's gripping, but it's kind of a dangerous episode. Dangerous is a good word. I don't know if that's a good word now that I think about it. I'm going to use it anyway."
"This Is Us" airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on NBC.
(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

Forms Jobs
Posted: Thursday, October 19, 2006Department: Police
Three police officers will be presented medals and the promotions of four other officers and two civilian employees will be recognized during a ceremony scheduled for 3 p.m., Friday, Oct. 20, in the auditorium of the Public Safety Center, 725 N. Cherry St.
Police Chief Pat Norris will present Officer Rodney K. Griffin with the Medal of Valor for ignoring his personal safety and maintaining his composure while under fire in order to prevent death or injury to members of the community. On Aug. 13, 2005, Griffin arrived as backup to a report of a man with a gun in the 1000 block of Miller Street. Griffin was fired upon as he helped set up a perimeter to contain the suspect in his apartment. The suspect was unable to escape and was apprehended.
Officer Timothy S. Hanks is being presented the Medal of Valor for unselfish actions that prevented the imminent loss of life without regard to his own safety. On May 19, 2005, Hanks pulled a driver in diabetic shock from his burning vehicle, which had crashed into a median on Interstate 40. The car was locked and the driver's foot was wedged on the accelerator with the drive wheels spinning, complicating the rescue.
Officer Tammy Taylor is being awarded the Medal of Merit for her actions on Oct. 1, 2005, in saving the life of a robbery victim whose throat had been severely cut; and for deducing that the victim had been raped, allowing investigators to recover evidence before it was lost. Taylor's quick actions saved a life and helped detect a crime.
Also on Friday, the following promotions will be recognized:
To lieutenant: David A. Lamb and Christopher A. Lowder.
To sergeant: Kelvin C. Murphy and Tony L. Perkins.
In addition, Chad C. Higgins will be recognized for his promotion to public safety communications squad supervisor and Sandra G. Setser will be recognized for her promotion to senior public safety communications operator.

3/10 Narrative
And I keep getting involved in extra things - like starting a prospective study on what body fat range is healthy for women based on development of morbidity and mortality (yep, this blog does give me some ideas).
Now what is this about 3/10?
It sounds like a terribly difficult time signature for a song. In fact, I can't find an example of a single song that was written in 3/10.
Everyone talks about John 3:16. But what about John 3:10?
"This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God's child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister."
Ever get the feeling that The Bible is a bit harsh and anachronistic? I mean who can do "what is right" all the time?
The Lorax and Natty turned 3 and 10 respectively this last week. When I think about the line from the Bible verse about loving your brother and sister, then I am as convinced as ever that these two are God's children. There must be something about being seven years apart and step siblings that unites them. I personally grew up with constant sibling rivalry, but it is almost completely absent with Natty and The Lorax. I get tears in my eyes thinking about Natty moving back to the US this summer. What will they do without each other?
Here is a picture from The Lorax's celebration.
Is my child a south paw? (do you see the useful animation tricks one learns as a PhD student? - time not wasted!)
Speaking of loving your siblings, my very own sister was just accepted to the PhD program in Cognitive Sciences at The University of Minnesota. Feel free to congratulate her here :).
I guess it has been a long time since I have talked about the pregnancy or running.
Almost exactly a week ago, I started feeling the baby kick. That is more than 4 weeks earlier than I started feeling The Lorax. People say it's because you remember what it feels like, but I am convinced the nerves around the uterus become more sensitive after the first birth - I mean I don't think I could have been confused about what this feeling was the first time around.
Since I am oh so scientific, I believe one can tell the gender of the baby by how they kick. I was convinced The Lorax kicked like a boy before the scan and now I think this one kicks like a girl. Of course, if it is a boy and he goes on to become a soccer player, he'll be so mad about this post :).
In other news, I am slightly worried about my blood sugar. I haven't checked it, but I am peeing way more than I should and in large quantities! Besides that, eating sugar makes me feel absolutely lousy (multiple birthday parties with cake = multiple panic attacks following sugar bolus). I have now almost completely given up on sugary foods and I feel much, much better. I am going to do a fasting blood sugar on myself one of these days, though I know pregnant women are supposed to do the oral glucose challenge for gestational diabetes, I'll certainly get an idea if something is wrong if my fasting is up. (BTW, you don't get tested for gestational diabetes here unless you meet certain criteria, which apparently I didn't meet and would have refused anyway - but alas).
My weight gain is a little less than 6 lbs so far and is exactly where I was with The Lorax at 16-17 weeks, and this is with really not making a conscious effort to be a specific weight; it is all seeming so genetic (though certainly exercising has kept the weight gain to a healthy amount). I gained the first 5 lbs in the first 12 weeks and then 1lb the last 4-5 weeks (exactly like I did with The Lorax). So FINALLY this week I am below the IOM guidelines for weight gain and thus know I am on track to a nice pregnancy like the last. (I simply can't stand the thought of gaining much more than last time - everything went so well, and it took a few months to get back to my prepregnancy weight anyway. So I'm saying 16 lbs is the limit again!).
My big running news was that I ran a 31 km (19.2 mile) hilly trail run last weekend in 2:58! This would even be acceptable for me on a non-pregnant day! I ran with a group of guys from Næstved and it certainly was the group that inspired me to pull it off.
And I have finally found the shoes that will save my pregnant hips from injury!!!
Minimalist, fast shoes with killer tread for trail running! Watch out Chippewa 50k participants - prepare to get preggo-chicked!
Finally - SR is travelling with Natty and The Lorax to the US for two weeks at the end of June (when I am 33-35 weeks pregnant) and I am really on the fence about whether or not I should go. According to the airline, it is acceptable. But I am feeling wussy. It will just be really weird because I will already be on maternity leave - add no work to being completely alone and I might just go nuts (or love it). The worst part is this is my chance to say good-bye to Natty before her move back to the US. Any advice?
Running song coming (once I get home and check the music library!).

3/10 time signature doesn't exist. The bottom number indicates what type of note. ie- 3/4 the "4" is the quarter note. "8" eighth note, "132" is 132nd note. But there's no 10th note. And the top one, that just means how many of that type of note there are in each measure. No wonder you couldn't find anything in 3/10 time.
Your long run time would make me happy too! Great job! I can't even keep up your type of running schedule and I'm not pregnant! I did a hard 14 trail yesterday and I can barely walk today.
Everyone at the 50K should be scared. You're gonna beat them all!

Hi! I just found your blog and have already bookmarked it as your running while pregnant experiences may well turn out to be relevant... :D Can't BELIEVE some of the comments you got about your running during pregnancy, how can people be so nasty? Good for you for keeping on blogging. Look forward to more!

I wouldn't travel that far while that pregnant. I can't even imagine sitting on a little airplane seat that pregnant -- it makes my hips and butt hurt just thinking about it! And, like you, I was a small pregnant person.
Enjoy that time all to yourself before the chaos of a new baby!

Hello, as you seem to have done quite a bit of research on pregnancy weight gain I would like to ask a question concerning the guidelines and reality: The charts all say that the baby/placenta/fluid (the weight that is not fat and therefore lost during the two weeks following delivery) accounts for at least 20-22 pounds. I also only gained between 14 and 16 pounds when I was pregnant. I didn´t try to influence my weight gain to keep it low, I just ate super-clean, exercised and that is what my body did...I gave birth at 36, 5 weeks (she was early due to reasons that were aboslutely unrelated to my weight gain) and I lost "just that" - around 15 pounds; my daughter was 6 pounds; full term she would have had a pound more and maybe I would have retained some water but you made a similar experience - not even losing 16 pounds. I know a lot of women who claim to have lost 25-30 pounds right after giving birth. So I am wondering what makes the difference? Do some women make enormous placentas? Or blood volume? Do you have an idea?

Karen - thanks for clearing that up. Well - I found some really weird time signatures (21/32!) - but now I'm gathering there really must be a 32nd note. I'm just hoping the tempo of that song is slow :D.
Jacqueline - thanks for your thoughts on the travel. I am kind of leaning towards no.
Heather and Anon - you guys are awesome! (also so comment on the Skodsbord Marathon, Heather). I'm already writing a new post - an awesome post, of course - which is going to discuss the things you guys brought up. I hope to publish it tomorrow. Hope!

I'd be a big chicken about traveling so late in the pregnancy. Not that there's anything wrong with it...I'm just a chicken. I didn't travel after 6 months.
I do think that a lot of pregnancy weight gain might be water. I gained 22 pounds, and lost all but 4 of it after 2 weeks without any exercise or restriction on my eating. I'm now at my pre-pregnancy weight (5 months after the birth). This is pretty much what happened with my first pregnancy too.
- 15 February 2011 at 20:00
- Marathon Mom said...
Your study on body fat and morbidity sounds interesting, can't wait to see what you find.
As for the travel, I flew at 33 weeks but only a short 3 hour flight and that was plenty. I personally can't imagine flying internationally, just the discomfort of airplane seats, needing to use the bathroom a lot, and wanting to eat all the time would make me want to avoid that length in a plane.

The Great Organic Pumpkin Guide
The pumpkin is part of a rich gardening and culinary tradition in the United States. Fall just wouldn't be the same without a grinning Jack O'Lantern, and a steaming pumpkin pie is what makes a Thanksgiving feast complete. We know that when pumpkins start to ripen, it is a sign that the wonders of fall are just around the corner!
Unfortunately, as with the majority of commercially grown produce you find in your local grocery store, most pumpkins have been grown with chemicals and pesticides. Our site recognizes that the best way to enjoy pumpkins, and the pleasures of fall, is with your own, home-grown and chemically-free pumpkins.
Pumpkins are a wonderful addition to your garden, and they are a joy to grow. This site is designed to help you grow fantastic organic pumpkins, with lots of expert gardening tips and information. We've also included a brief history of the pumpkin and some botanical information for you to enjoy. If you are looking for a good selection of quality organic fertilizers and organic pest control products, try Clean Air Gardening.

Coconut Lime Shortbread Cookies
Today I thought we'd take a trip back down into the blog's archives to revisit one of my all-time favorite cookie recipes.
I actually posted the recipe for these cookies back in my very first year of blogging, and they've been getting progressively buried in our cookie archives ever since. But I still make them every single year around the holidays, and can hardly believe their buttery, citrusy, sweet goodness each time I do. They are just the best!!!
Even better, they're super nice and sturdy, which has made them my go-to recipe for cookie exchanges over the years. I must admit — I have received many a box over the years that has been full of cookie crumbles, especially when shipped through the mail system. But when packed correctly, I promise that these cookie will hold up well even when being shipped across the country, or carried in a toddler's wobbly path down the street to a neighbor. :) I've given them out for years, and they always receive rave reviews.
So, as is my annual tradition, a friend and I actually made a quadruple batch of these this month to get ready for the holiday season. Half of mine were packed up to give out as part of the World's Largest Cookie Exchange that I'm participating in with Better Homes & Gardens, and half went in the freezer to have on hand for last-minute holiday gatherings and such. (Ok, actually we couldn't wait and some friends helped demolish a few dozen of them early while cheering on our Royals during the World Series, which I have to think helped contribute to their sweet win, right?! Right.)
So let's make some more together, and spread the sweet cookie love!
Alright, well first off, I want to give credit where credit is due. I actually received this recipe after begging for it at a bridal shower 6 years ago with my friend, Amy. Her aunt, Bonnie, is a fantastic baker and always goes all-out making amazing spreads of sweets and bars and cookies for parties. And at this particular shower, the fruity-dessert lover in me was immediately drawn to the cute little handwritten sign that said coconut-lime shortbread cookies.
In the middle of the freezing winter in Kansas, these sounded like a taste of no less than tropical paradise.
Turns out…they were just that.
Buttery shortbread cookies baked with a good hint of lime and toasted coconut…then topped with a sweet lime glaze…how could you go wrong?!
The answer is that you can't. :)
You absolutely can't go wrong with these.
And because of that, I highly recommend making a double or triple batch of these if you can. Shortbread cookies are a bit of a time commitment either way, so if you're going to go to the work, I always vote that you might as well make extras to freeze or give away. (And a quick note — if you aren't going to eat them right away, I recommend stirring the lime zest into the glaze as pictured above, instead of sprinkling it on top.)
But if you are going to eat them fairly quickly, I love the look of that bright green zest topping each cookie like confetti. So cute!
As I mentioned above, I packed up a few little boxes of these to give away this year as part of The World's Largest Cookie Exchange with Better Homes & Gardens, which you can join too if you're interested! They have all sorts of great little free printable holiday gift tags an recipe cards online, as well as hundreds and hundreds of other cookie recipes that you can browse for inspiration.
So if you're needing some simple (and inexpensive) homemade gifts to give out this year, I highly recommend getting involved and giving the gift of something homemade from your kitchen. I have some more great DIY homemade projects coming up on the blog this month, too, so stay tuned for more ideas.
Cheers to sharing the homemade cookie love!
Coconut Lime Shortbread Cookies
These Coconut Lime Shortbread Cookies are perfectly light, sweet, buttery, and full of fresh lime and coconut flavor!
Coconut Lime Shortbread Cookie Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (2 sticks) cold butter, cut into 1-tablespoon pieces
Lime Glaze Ingredients:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2-3 tablespoons water
To Make The Coconut Lime Shortbread Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- In a food processor, combine coconut, sugar, lime zest, and the vanilla extract. Pulse a few times until the coconut is finely chopped. Add flour, and pulse until combined. Gradually add in the butter pieces and pulse until the mixture is smooth and combined. (The dough will appear fairly dry.)
- Transfer to a very large bowl, and knead dough until smooth. (If the dough is still too dry and crumbly, add in a half teaspoon of water at a time until it clings together.) Shape dough into a ball, then divide in half.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough portions to about 1/4-inch thickness. Using your desired cookie cutters (I used a 1.5-inch round cutter), cut out dough. Place cutouts 1″ apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining dough on a second cookie sheet.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes, or just until bottoms start to brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack, and let cool to room temperature.
- Drizzle each cookie with the lime glaze, adding extra lime zest on top if desired.
To Make Lime Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lime peel, and lime juice until combined. Add in the two or three tablespoons of water, and whisk until it reaches a good consistency for spreading.

This recipe looks delicious! I was looking to make these as little gifts. I want to put them in small cellophane bags. Does the like glaze become stable and hard or does it stay soft? Thanks in advance!

Award-winning journalist Soledad O'Brien served as a mentor to young professionals Thursday during an "Office Hours" session with Levo League, a professional network for Gen Y women.
During the live stream video chat, O'Brien discussed the importance of having a mentor and a mentee during your career.
"Find a job that you love, work with people that you like, do the work that you want to do, and surround yourself with people you want to share with," she said.
"Create the ecosystem of an office that you want to be in."
O'Brien said that a good mentor will tell you your strengths and weaknesses so you need to find someone you can trust completely.
Furthermore, you don't have to personally know your mentor to learn from them.
"I'm a big stealer of people so I steal ideas in terms of watching someone who is an incredibly inspiring, like Maya Angelou," she said. "You don't have to know your mentor personally to learn from them."
At the end of her live stream, O'Brien encouraged young people to find newcomers they could mentor and teach. This will allow them to build their own leadership skills and see things from a fresh perspective.

May brings many of the best birds. Have you seen any good ones? One sure way to heighten the pleasure of a special bird sighting is to brag about it later. Step right up and share your best bird of the weekend.
My family and I hit New York City to see my new niece (yay Chloe Danielle!) which left little time or opportunity for avian observation. However, I was quite pleased to see that my aunt's House Wrens have returned as sweet and songful as ever. Corey's best bird was difficult to decide, as he has so many from which to choose. Was it a rare breeding wood-warbler like one of the many Cerulean Warblers or Golden-winged Warblers? Or one of the birds he rarely ever sees in NYC, like Broad-winged Hawk or Wild Turkey? One from the latter category works best so how about one of the two Barred Owls that he got excellent looks and pictures of?
What was your best bird of the weekend? Tell us in the comments section about the rarest, loveliest, or most fascinating bird you observed. If you've blogged about your weekend experience, you should include a link in your comment.
A new life bird: several Dickcissels singing in some restored prairie a couple blocks from my parents house.
Not much to see after volcanic ash covered a great part of Guatemala and then followed by 48 hours of rain due to Tropical Storm Agatha. This two natural phenomena caused a lot of destruction, both in infrastructure and nature as well.
That being said, we filled our three hummingbird-feeders. We normally get 4-6 birds at a time (we compete with abundant flowers and other natural feeding spots), but this time it was amazing to see up to perhaps 14-16 birds at a time braving ash, torrential rain and strong winds.
I have always said that hummingbirds are no team players, this time though, differences were set aside and all could eat from our feeders. We saw White-eared Hummingbird (Bassilina leucotis), Azure-crowned Hummingbird (Amazilia cyanocefala), Magnificent Hummingbird (Eugenes fulgens), Berylline Hummingbird (Amazilia berylina) and Blue-tailed Hummingbird (Amazilia cyanura).
Other birds began showing up once the rain subsided, but the hummingbirds are still going strong.
Almost all of Darwin´s Finches while writing my first series on Galapagos.
I was birding in the drizzle on Saturday. Most of the resident swallow species were present. I was just about to head home when behind me I heard an unfamiliar bubbling call. Behind me there were two all-dark swallows. Purple Martins. (There's only one place locally where Purple Martins are regularly found, and I wasn't there.) They flew down and perched on a road sign just across the road from me, so I had a great view of them.
Great. Spotted. Cuckoo. !
A Lark Sparrow in Ohio. Saw him in Toledo's Oak Openings Preserve Metropark. They're protecting some nesting habitat there, but that's still not a bird you expect to see this far east.
It was Hong Kong's sixth Blue-throated Bee-eater !
I was fortunate to add five life birds and eleven state birds in Idaho this last weekend at Camas NWR and Market Lake WMA. Highlights were: Olive-sided Flycatcher, American Redstart (3 males), Swainson's Thrush, Nothern Waterthrush, Common Grackle (not so common in Idaho), and Black-and-White Warbler.
Lark sparrows nesting beside my neighbor's barn. Also blue grosbeaks nesting nearby.
My first wood duck. And today a scissor-tailed flycatcher banged itself into my second story office window. I hope it didn't knock itself silly.
Enjoyed Fort Drum — but frustrated by my Sparrow incompetence. Must. Learn. Faster.
Best bird 1– well, after visiting Montezuma, I paused in Syracuse to stay at the cool youth hostel there (old victorian) which was in a quiet, residential area. It was late, but still light – and a pair of kestrels flew by.
Best bird 2 — Worked my way up to Fort Drum via some of the sites mentioned on the Syracuse area rare bird alert. Took some searching/googling, but found Whiskey Hollow (it's in Baldwinville). As I was unloading myself out of the car, I hear this swoosh of wings. I look up, and a plieated has landed on a tree across the road. A moment later he swept off. First of the year.
Cardinal nesting in a shrubnext to my garage, directly over our garbage can.
I saw a sparrow with a black throat. The only one I can find in bird books that might be here (central FL) is a Harris sparrow. I am hoping to see it again so I can check it out closer. It had a very distintive black throat, pale breast, dark back with stripes. Bill and feet I have no idea of the color.
Any suggestions of who he is?
Saw some great birds including Northern Gannet, Magnificent Frigatebird, a singing Pine Warbler, and a end of the day Barred Owl. Picked up 4 new year birds and a few county birds, 67 species total. Not bad for South Florida this time of year.
I went to Golden Gate State Park in Colorado and watched male and female Williamson's Sapsuckers at a hole in an aspen tree. Last summer, there was a nest in an aspen tree 40 feet from this one.
audrey, have a look at male House Sparrow.
This past weekend was a good one for birding. It was my first trip to the El Copal reserve in Costa Rica and won't be my last. Of the 140 species identified in two days, best birds were probably Tawny-chested Flycatcher, Gray-headed Piprites, and Snowcap. The flycatcher is rare, little known, and more frequent at El Copal than any other place I have seen. The Piprites (a strange, chunky, manakin-looking thing) was heard only but since this rare, little known species is hardly ever recorded, this was a great find! Snowcap is neither rare, nor little known but can be hard to find and just looks incredible- like a living piece of burgundy candy topped with white frosting (more or less!).
Thanks Rick. Wonder why bird books don't have them with the sparrows !
The bird I saw seemed to be alot darker, but I was looking at it toward the sun, so who knows. I am hoping to see it again so I can check out closer the little differences.
Dear Audrey, "Sparrow" is one of those polysemic bird words; basically you can call anything brown and streaky a 'sparrow' regardless of its actual relationships. House Sparrows are in a different family from the New World sparrows (and the Old World buntings), and so are separated from them in books that follow a taxonomic sequence. The best way to distinguish House Sparrow from the native sparrows at a glance, in any age and sex class, is the back pattern: where native sparrows have fine black streaks, House Sparrows have great big wide orangish ski tracks running down the back.
Audrey, I meant to answer your question but luckily for us both, Rick provided a more cogent response than I could have.

Weekends just won't be the same now. At least during football season.
Faith Hill has announced that she will no longer be heard singing the theme for NBC's Sunday Night Football, "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night" before each game.
"Amazing 2 have been part of SNF - an honor. I've just let everyone there know it's time 2 let someone else rock the open," she tweeted on Monday, adding: "Difficult decision. Kinda emotional. Love all you guys at SNF--I'll be watching!!!"
Sunday Night Football producer Fred Gaudelli, in turn, tweeted to the country singer, "Great love and appreciation to @FaithHill for six great years of rocking the SNF open."
No word yet on who will be replacing Hill.
(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

Since I found the parents of Olive Bowser I have been looking at online trees, census records and the documentation of the Bowser Family in the early Pennsylvania history. I have found that the Bowsers/Bausser/Bauser/Basur came to the USA in 1733. It seems that a whole group of the family left Switzerland and headed for Philadelphia.
I have found them in Montgomery, Lancaster, York, Bedford, Somerset, and Armstrong County Pennsylvania. I find much information, but what is right and documentable?
For example I have the names of two different women as wives for Valentine Bowser. Was he married twice and who is the mother of Daniel Bowser? My Mary Murphy has a father named Thomas and was living with her and Jacob A. Bowser in Pennsylvania in 1860. Someone else has him living in Iowa. The two names are the same but they can not be in the same place at the same time.
I have written to a few of the owners of the trees and I hope someone answers so I can figure this out. I find personally when something does not feel right, it usually isn't.
More work tomorrow and I know this is going to be a long project. The fascinating thing is how people have been able to trace this family back to the late 1600's in Switzerland. How much of it can I prove to be correct?

Difference between revisions of "Santander"
Revision as of 18:36, 7 July 2016
Santander [20] is the capital and also the largest city of the province of Cantabria in Spain.
Santander has some 180,000 inhabitants and is on the ocean. It features a small historic center and a handful of beaches. Its most famous tourist attraction is the Magdalena Palace which was used as a summer getaway of Spanish royalty.
Get in

Iberia [23] offers daily flights to Santander from Madrid and Barcelona and weekly flights from Alicante, Gran Canaria, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Sevilla, Tenerife, Valencia, Paris, and Amsterdam.
Flights to Santander might be expensive. Another option could be to fly to Bilbao and taking a bus (ALSA) from Bilbao to Santander. This combination can be much chaper but it takes more time.
Taxis from the airport to Santander are about €20. The taxi stand is in front of the terminal building.
You can also hire a taxi with English speaking driver at the following tel. +34692240616 or by e-mail [email protected] , you can ask for the price of your trip (airport to the centre for €15) and make reservations. Credit cards are accepted.
The Alsa [24] city bus (tel 942211995) to Santander Bus Station (Estación de autobuses) departs daily at 6:30 and 6:50 AM and then every 30 minutes from 7:15 AM until 10:45 PM from directly outside the arrivals terminal (€2.5, March 2013). Duration of the journey: 15 minutes.

The Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo [39] offers summer courses for university students, including Spanish language courses for foreigners, that take place both at the Magdalena Palace and at Residencia Las Llamas.
The Universidad de Cantabria [40] offers Spanish language courses of 4 to 10 weeks duration throughout the year through the Centro de Idiomas (CIUC). CIUC also coordinates exchange students at the university.
In the summer, everybody starts their night at Plaza de Cañadío, in the centre of the old town. It is a hive for young Santanderinos and exchange students.
