- "Now Sue, she would have made one hell of a wolf. Leah's more of a wolverine."
- ―Billy Black on Sue and Leah Clearwater.[src]
Sue Clearwater (née Uley) is a Quileute woman who lives on the La Push reservation. She was born in the mid-1960s. Sue is the mother of Leah Clearwater and Seth Clearwater, and a widow since the death of her husband Harry Clearwater. She is also a good friend to Billy Black and Charlie Swan.
Early life
Sue was raised by the legends and beliefs of the Quileute magic and history, along with her brother, Lucas. She married Harry Clearwater and gave birth to two children: Leah and Seth. She and Harry had always known that their son might someday become a shape-shifter if he was to cross a vampire scent, which he did when the Cullens moved back to Forks.
Sue was the one who treated Emily's wounds when she was accidentally slashed by Sam, who phased out of anger.
New Moon
During New Moon, her husband, Harry Clearwater, dies of a heart attack caused by the unexpected phasing of their daughter, Leah, leaving her a widow, and his place as a member of the tribal council. Billy comments that Sue for being a strong woman, as she remains unshaken for a while despite the circumstances: her husband's unexpected passing and her children's phasing.
- "She took over for Harry when he died."
- ―Jacob[src]
In Eclipse, Sue attends the campfire night/council meeting on the clifftop in which Billy Black and Quil III tell the Quileute legends to Bella, Jacob, and most of the pack and their imprintees. Bella describes her as really tough and taking on stuff bravely. In the film she does appear at the bonfire, but has no speaking lines.
Breaking Dawn
In Breaking Dawn, Sue attends Bella and Edward's wedding with Billy and her children.
Later on, both Seth and Leah run away to join Jacob Black's renegade pack to protect Bella and her baby from Sam's pack. According to Jared, Sue was heartbroken, but Jacob knew that she was very strong, and was not above playing her children's sympathies if it meant tricking them into returning home.
In the movie, she is seen at Bella and Edward's wedding, at Billy's house when Jacob hears about Bella's return, keeping Charlie company half the times and at Billy's house when Paul reports to Sam that Bella is 'dead'.
Sue is also mentioned to be spending a lot of time with Charlie Swan, being as shocked by his cooking as Bella was when she first came to Forks. She immediately takes on a caretaker role towards Charlie, much like Bella did, and even accompanies him to the Cullens' house. By the end of the story, they have started a romantic relationship. Their newfound romance is much more apparent in the final movie.
Physical appearance
Sue has a thin face with black eyes and black hair. In the books, her hair is cut in a short, severe style. In the movies, her hair runs down to her shoulders.
- "The woman knows her trout."
- ―Charlie, on Sue.[src]
Sue's personality is not fully described in the books, but Jacob mentions that she is brave and strong — strong enough to lie to her children if that is what it takes to do what is right. When her husband passed away, she remained tough to get over her pain, and take over his place as council leader of the Quileute tribe.
In the movie, she seems to show knowledge about fish.
Sue is the wife of Harry Clearwater and mother of Leah and Seth Clearwater. She is the daughter of Jonathan Uley and Charlotte Hewes, and the older sister of Lucas Uley.
Harry Clearwater is Sue's husband until his death, and they have two children, Leah and Seth. In New Moon, they both phase into wolves, Leah being the first woman in Quileute's recorded history to do so, and Seth phasing for the first time unusually early as these things go.
Charlie Swan
- Main article: Charlie Swan and Sue Clearwater
- "Sue, can I get you a glass?"
- ―Charlie.[src]
Charlie Swan is Sue's close friend and new love interest. Sue and Charlie have known each other for a long time.
When Sue's husband, and Charlie's best friend, Harry died of a heart attack in New Moon, Charlie is the one who helps her plan his funeral.
In Breaking Dawn, she visits the Cullens with Charlie as moral support to help with his transition into the supernatural world. She also fills in Bella's cooking role at his house and keeping him company. At the end of Breaking Dawn, Bella suspects that Sue and Charlie may have become a couple. It was later confirmed in The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide that they are in fact dating.
Film portrayal
Sue Clearwater is portrayed by Alex Rice in Eclipse and both Breaking Dawn movies.

Audibility of Jitter, Proposing a series of tests |
Audibility of Jitter, Proposing a series of tests |
Dec 27 2006, 14:33
Group: Members Posts: 1018 Joined: 27-September 03 From: Cape Town Member No.: 9042 |
The threshold of audibility of phase noise in ADC and DAC clocks is a fairly contentious issue in the HiFi and audiophile world. Some sources claim that jitter is clearly audible at low levels, and some claim that high levels of jitter are inaudible. The literature describes several tests, many with conflicting results.
One of the chief difficulties in testing the audibility of jitter is that it requires a complex hardware setup, which means that many listeners would be required to be present for an time consuming (and expensive) on site test. Over the last couple of months I have been thinking about organising a distributed listening test to look at the audibility of jitter in audio applications, based on algorithms for simulating the effects of jitter on signals. These algorithms are fairly well described in RF and telecomms engineering literature, and would be interesting for comparison purposes. The kind of thing I have in mind is this: Use samples which are accepted to sound good -> simulate jitter -> perform listening tests -> perform more tests at different levels of jitter depending on results The purpose of this thread is to get ideas of the Hydrogenaudio community about performing these tests. Some of the things I would appreciate input on are:

It's difficult to describe the tonality of noise, but this really isn't the place for a discussion of the Ravel sample.

Size Down
I bought my usual size 8 in the limited pants. You could go down a size. They feel great, but the 312 style run a little bigger.
November 23, 2013
So comfortable!
These pants are great. I normally wear a 6 and these fit perfectly. It's a stretchy material and hugs my curves without looking like leggings. Definitely recommend - comfy and fashionable!
October 23, 2013
Ok Jean
Do not really fit me as well as I expected but decided to keep them anyway to pair with tunics. These jeans are definitely for a slim leaner body frame in my opinion. They are slim through hip and thigh areas so be aware of this prior to ordering. I actually contemplated returning them but decided the price was too great to do that. I am 5'7", 135 lbs. and size 8 fit fine, however, more stretch than I wanted In a boot cut style. 678 boot cut more for my body.
October 23, 2013
Great fit......
The only problem is that they are a bit long, but after hemming, perfect.
October 16, 2013
Great fit!
Again, as with all Limited jeans I have purchased, LOVE them! They feel so great and fit my 5'2" height just perfect!
October 16, 2013
Great Jean
My favorite thing about these is the 23% polyester content. I'm amazed all jeans aren't made like this. The polyester makes the jeans hug your curves and keep their shape while still allowing a comfortable give. The slim bootcut is great as well because it balances with the hip. Good color. Good length on the rise. Just a great jean all around.
PS: Thank you LTD for the polyester---please keep it!
October 11, 2013
wanted to love them.....
Was really excited to get these and then totally disapointed once I tried them on. The material is not even 'jeanlike' more stretchy then I was expecting and very cheap feeling. Will be returning.
October 11, 2013
Love these jeans!
I have them in the dark denim - two pairs, and finally found them in the lighter wash. They fit great. I personally don't like a full boot cut, so this "baby bell" is just perfect. I highly recommend.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Because Concordia is Lutheran based, if you want to be surrounded by a community that shares your faith in Christ this is the place for you. State colleges won't give you the same kind of support to enhance your spiritual life the same way Concordia will. We have chapel every weekday morning, Bible studies in abundance, and St. John's Lutheran Church is right across the street from campus. So, to all Lutherans and any other denomination of Christianity, you should really check out Concordia University as the place you want to spend your college career.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you speak frequently with Michelle Pfeifer or whoever your counselor or advisor is so that you make sure to get as much financial support possible and so you get the classes you want to take. If you want to get into teaching or a ministry career, this is definately the place for you; but there are many other majors offered so please check them out.
Bang for the buck To be honest, I pay less to go to Concordia than I did at a state school because of the financial support through Concordia and the LCMS as a whole. The dorm rooms here are much better than the living conditions I had before. The food is better than that of CU but it still doesn't beat home cooking. As I have already said, the classes are entirely worth it.
Am enjoying being here Compared to my previous year at the University of Colorado, transferring to Concordia University was one of the best decision I could have made. The students, staff, and professors along with the citizens of Seward are wonderful and caring individuals. The classes are great, the social aspect is amazing, there is no readon I would not recommend someone to come and live here.
Am learning a lot I am a Theology major in the Director of Christian Education (DCE) program here at Concordia and very much like the majority of the class I have taken thus far. I especially like the classes geared towards my two main areas of emphasis and the professors at Concordia are great. The homework load may be much at times but all of the coarse work is worth it in the long run.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Concordia University is great for students looking for a small, Christian, private college. Its biggest major is Education and it has an good music program. A prospective student should want a small campus with small classes and involved professors. They will be around a lot of Lutheran beliefs and overall Christian atmosphere. It is a good place to be involved school activities/sports. It is also for students who want to be in a small town, but still close to a big city.
Tips for prospective students I would make sure they have your major or the classes you need for it. I would also get your class schedules figured out early and get registered early. It can be a little difficult to get the classes you want especially at the times you want. I would also suggest getting involved in some kind of activity. It can be a little bit boring especially if you are not involved in any activities. I would also suggest being involved with the events that take place through the school like sports, theater, student activities committee events and other activities taking place on campus. It gets you more involved with the school and people on campus. It also makes it more fun.
Bang for the buck It is a pretty expensive university, because it is a small Christian private school. If it is the right place for you, it is worth the money. It is a great environment for learning with small classes, good professors, and good resources. It will be great if that is what you are looking for and they have your major. The school, in general, has a welcoming Christian environment. They follow through with what they say and keep in line with their beliefs.
Am enjoying being here There are things that I like about the school and things that I don't like about it. It is a little too small for me and I have trouble finding the classes I need because my major is a little complicated. A lot of the class times run into each other for my area because they only have one class time for many classes. It is very welcoming though. There are small classes and the professors are very helpful. You can get to know most of the people there and professors know your name and who you are. It is in a small town and is a little boring sometimes. But it is less than twenty minutes from Lincoln where there are many activities to do. It has a good Christian atmosphere most of the time, especially in classes.
Am learning a lot I have learned a lot here. The school has really good teachers that are very focused on you and your success. They will put in the time you need for whatever it may be: extra help, extra time for having to miss class, learning more, or having questions.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck Concordia is the second cheapest Concordia in the system. You get the opportunities of being able to go down and eat as much food as you want when ever the caffertia is open. You also have the advantages of have multiple computer labs throughout campus with access to printers and the internet. All of the dorms are acquiped with wireless internet.
Am enjoying being here Concordia is a university were their is always something going on. You don't just have to be in a sport or club to enjoy these opportunities. There are interamuals which are always a fun time. Hall parties, free food and many more activities to enjoy.
Am learning a lot I am recieving a well rounded eduaction who at Concordia. Well staying connected with my faith.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students If you're wanting to become a teacher, Concordia is the place to be! Concordia started out as a teacher's college so they really know what they're doing. It is also a great college for art majors! Many of the student's artwork has been used on the campus or in other churches around the country.
Tips for prospective students Be sure to check it out! Get to know the people on campus and the professors, they'll make you feel welcome right away. Also, take a look around Seward, which is a great small town, and check out Lincoln, which is only thirty minutes away!
Bang for the buck Although it is somewhat expensive, Concordia Nebraska is much cheaper than the other Concordia campuses. They make up for the high cost by giving you a safe, fun environment, great teachers, and numerous activities. They also offer many different majors, especially art majors which are a huge deal at our campus.
Am enjoying being here Because it's a small school and has a great Christian atmosphere, this campus and everyone on it makes you feel welcome. There are tons of opportunities to meet new friends and get involved in helping others. There is never a dull moment on campus!
Am learning a lot Concorida is an amazing campus. The professors here take your opinion into account and give you as much help as they can give. They are also very knowledgeable about their topics and if they are unsure about a question, they will do the research to give you the right information. Because class sizes are small, there is enough time for real discussion in the class rooms and you don't feel like you're just another person lost in the crowd.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I think campus has a very safe feel to it. The town of Seward isn't very large which add to that safety factor.
Greek Life Honestly there is no Greek Life on or around campus.
Clubs and Activities I am currently involved in Track and Field at Concordia. That takes up quite a bit of time. You can also be involved in other sports, drama, news paper, art, and many other activities.
Great for these types of students Concordia is a great fit for student athletes like myself. It is also a great place for anyone who wants a Christian atmosphere to continue their education.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a tradition on campus called the naked man run. During the first snow, everyone strips down to sports bras and spandex or boxers and runs out and around the statue for fun. After we all had hot cocoa.
Bang for the buck You can get a good plate of fish for $5 in Bee which is just 15 minutes away!
What to do for fun I like to get involved with some campus activities. My friends and I like to get together for movies. One night we also went out to a near by lake.
Food and Dining The food honestly isn't the best. I do have to say it is pretty decent for college food. However, there are some really good places to eat out.
Dorm Life I personally love the dorm I am in. They recently re-did a lot of the dorms and they are very comfortable now. All of the girls in my hall get along great.
Academic Rigor The classes are challenging, but not unbearably difficult. They make you work to achieve good grades. Academics are the most important activity there.
Tips for prospective students Concordia has a very unique campus life. It is good to get involved with even just a few of their many activities. There are many things there that will help you feel at home.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The very Christian environment means they never let any problems slip through the cracks.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Naked man run: We have an artist statue in the middle of campus and every first snow, everyone gets together in summer clothes (swimsuits, tank tops, shorts) and make a snow angel by the statue.
Bang for the buck The Coffee house and Dog house. You can get food and drinks without leaving campus after hours and the flex dollars make it not to expensive.
What to do for fun We are always having movie nights and hanging out in the many lounges. The parks lead to a lot of outdoor fun and the school offers many extracurricular activities.
Food and Dining Your options are not limited and you can always find something good. The flavor may be a tad bland at times, but that is just for certain safety reasons. Plus its buffet! So you are always full!
Dorm Life Everyone in the dorms are super friendly and love to help you out on whatever you need. The rules may be a little strict, but they are just trying to do what is best for you.
Academic Rigor The classes are difficult without being too much. You will really get the most for your money when attending here.
Tips for prospective students Always keep up on and go to your classes. The Professors care that you are there and want you to do your best!
In three sentences It is a very Christian school that always lifts your spirt. The professors are always kind and love to teach. Their programs really help you prepare for life out of college.

Categories Comments What to do for fun there are so many things to do, but since you are in a small town, one has to be creative. we watch quite a few movies, spend far too much time in the cafeteria, drive into lincoln ff we want more to do.
Food and Dining the cafeteria has pretty good food for being a cafeteria. obviously, the food is not stellar, since no one would want to pay that much for food, but what they do offer is fairly good. their deserts are the best part!
Dorm Life the individuals that live on the same hall as me are amazing. each one has a unique personality and we love each other for it. we love enjoying one another's company.
Academic Rigor concordia certainly pushes you hard academically. however, they are not only in to how well you achieve, but what you learn from the subjects that you learn.
Tips for prospective students come to concordia and experience the university for yourself. there are so many aspects of the college experience that cannot be placed in a promotional flyer. see for yourself if you are genuinely interested in attending!
In three sentences concordia has a great community. the people who you meet here are like family. students, faculty, and staff are friendly and rooted in christ's love.

Great for these types of students out going, open to making new friends.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus the naked run during the first snow fall.
Bang for the buck worth it!
What to do for fun go into the square, shop, see a movie, bowl, or reek havoc on the campus.
Food and Dining janzow may not seem great, but don't take all the choices for granted.
Dorm Life try your best to get into jonathon.
Academic Rigor teacher's are there to help!
Tips for prospective students attend all wow events before school, be open, and hang out with your hall, class mates, and activity friends equally.

Categories Comments Campus Safety campus security has never doubted me. they respond quickly if you lose your keys or lock them in your room. concordia is one of the safest campuses in the country. also, you must have an id card to get into the dorms, therefore no strangers will be entering.
Greek Life greek life does not exist here at concordia, who needs frat parties anyways!
Great for these types of students concorida is great for athletes. all the teams are tough competitors and most importantly, great supporters. the womens basketball team is seeded #2 right now and the mens track and field just placed 2nd in the gpac conference.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus most colleges cant say they have praise and worship everyday. concordia offers praise every morning at 9 am. this is a great time to get away from your studies and praise our creator.
What to do for fun seward is a small, but busy town. there are many different fast-food places to choose from. also, there is a bowling alley, movie theater, and a coffee shop with pool. concordia also has many different activities going on, including leg wrestling, laser tag, and praise.
Food and Dining the food selection is rather large here at concordia. everyday for lunch and dinner, i have the opportunity to eat a sandwich, hamburger, or hotdog. they also have a station that changes everyday. the desserts are something to enjoy everyday. also, there is fresh fruit to eat or take out and bring to your room if you want to eat it later.
Dorm Life fortunately, i got the privilege to room with two of my teammates my first year. this helped me build relationship on and off the track. the campus is not very big, so the dorms are not far from everything. i literally take 20 steps to get to my cafeteria, which is very handy.
Academic Rigor in the classrooms, i have maybe 20 other colleagues with me. this give me a better opportunity to interact with the professor face-to-face. this helps me build a relationship with the professor and i find it easier to understand certain subjects. also, the teacher program lets me get experience in other classrooms in the first year!
Tips for prospective students if you want to experience a college where you get a lot of teacher/student interaction, meet many friendly people, and get a high education, concordia-seward is the college to enroll. from experience, my first couple days were rough and i had no intentions on staying here. this suddenly changed and i love it here, i would not go to a different college.
In three sentences concordia university-seward is the perfect college for me. the college is very small, which means the classrooms number size is very low. the students and professors are also very helpful and friendly.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Situated in a small Midwestern town, crime on campus and in town is negligible. Thefts happen, but this can be offset by locking your door.
Clubs and Activities There is always something going on, whether it's an athletic contest or a campus-wide game of Fugitive or a pick-up game of Ultimate Frisbee, there is rarely a dull moment. There are plenty of clubs for a student to join, for a large number of different interests.
Great for these types of students Anyone will fit in. Athletes, drama students, musicians, etc. all have a niche on campus, but there is a large amount of cross-over between groups also.
Bang for the buck My experience at Concordia has been phenomenal. It is reasonably priced compared to similar schools, and the experience is definitely worth it. Plus, scholarships are readily available.
What to do for fun Seward is a small town, but does have a bowling alley and a one screen movie theater. Concordia, and specifically the Student Activities Council, puts on lots of events for the students to participate in.
Food and Dining The cafeteria, while not always the most appetizing, has many options, and there's something there for everyone, no matter their taste in food.
Dorm Life The dorms are definitely aging, but aren't as bad as other college dorms I've heard of. For freshman guys, you might get stuck in a dorm without air conditioning, but it's still manageable. Other than that, the residence hall feel is very good, and there are many community building activities put on for the whole campus, as well as for each individual floor.
Academic Rigor The classes are challenging but rewarding. The professors are very knowledgeable on their subjects, but are also very approachable and are willing to help with questions.
Tips for prospective students If you're not Lutheran, don't get scared off, it's not really that bad. Don't be afraid to get involved in something, there are great people in every student group.
In three sentences The atmosphere on campus is generally great. People get along fairly well and most people know most everyone else. Everyone is involved in something.

Categories Comments Campus Safety It is EXTREMELY rare we have any safety issues on this campus. Fear not.
Clubs and Activities There are a ton of clubs and activities which are awesome if you actually get involved in them. There is something for everyone, and at the beginning of the year they all have a booth so you can find some that fit you.
Great for these types of students Acting -Improvables Math -math club Sports -intramurals Medicine -pre-med club Leader- SAC (student activities council) Every kind of student -SPRING WEEKEND
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Naked man run
What to do for fun There are a ton of intramurals and clubs which are very good to be in. They help you meet new people and help you get your mind off of school work for a little bit. Also, Common Ground is a good place to go on weekend ngihts.
Food and Dining The food is not wonderful but there are always sandwhiches, waffles, pizza, and burgers that you can fall back on.
Dorm Life Get involved and respect quiet hours.
Academic Rigor You do actually have to work, especially in the upper level classes. Do not procrastinate unless you love pulling all-nighters. Some of the material can be very difficult but the teachers are very good at explaining it.
Tips for prospective students Get involved with hall activities, clubs, intramurals. Your time here will not be very much fun if you don't go and meet new people. If you have a question in class but are too embarrassed to ask, ask anyway. Chances are, someone else has the same question.
In three sentences Concordia is awesome for making good friends that will help you grow spiritually as well as helping you grow as a person. The teachers actually care about you and make an effort to know your name. The whole campus is very clean and people are very friendly and willing to help you if you need something.

What to do for fun On-Campus activities bring all students closer together. Church events are also a great way to spend time with classmates!
Tips for prospective students Make new friends to avoid home-sickness. Make a great time out of everything. Don't go in with the highest of expectation because usually nothing meets those.

Categories Comments What to do for fun There are a lot of things to do for fun without spending much money. Movie is always a great example. During the day you can always start a game of volleyball, basketball, baseball, etc. If there are on-campus performances, concerts, activities or sport events go to those, they are actually very interesting and fun.
Food and Dining Food at any college will get old eventually. Every now and then you do need to eat something different. There are quite of bit of options but a lot of the areas serve the same things or close to the same things everyday. So try to mix it up and little and try new combinations.
Dorm Life The dorms are very acceptable. Enough space and there are many ways to arrange the furniture. AC and heating is not a problem. Not a lot to complain about. The rules of living in the dorm are easy to following. There is a kitchen and a laundry room available in all dorms. Lounge areas are also very spacious. It's rare to walk in and out of the dorm without coming across someone and saying hi.
Academic Rigor You may have less class time but that only means more hours outside of class working on homework and studying. Don't study the night before and get ahead on work if you can.
Tips for prospective students Get involved in activities and oppurtunities, cause then from there it's a great ride. Be yourself because almost nobody will judge you. Find your balance between school and free time
In three sentences Concordia is a great place to grow in faith and it is full of great service oppurtunities. It is so easy to make friends and the teacher-student relationship is fantastic. It is a great place to call a second home.

Dorm Life Great RAs and floor communities make Concordia feel like home away from home.

Dorm Life It's pretty decent around here. Most of the boys dorms do not have air conditioning, but the freshman girls dorm was recently redone, and is really awesome!
Academic Rigor To be honest it depends on your major, and the class load for the semester. Some classes are harder than others.
Tips for prospective students Be ready to work hard, and learn a lot! Don't be afraid to ask questions, someone is always there to help!

Categories Comments Campus Safety People feel incredibly safe here. When there is class in session some students have left back packs in the lounges or outside, and have felt safe doing so. They have not felt a threat of someone stealing any of their property.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus An unusual event Concordia has is the Naked Man Run. This is held after the first snow fall of the year. Students start at Dorcas Dorm and run around the Naked Man Statue also known as Son Free of Sin Statue and back to the dorm. They usually do this in their bare feet and shorts to celebrate the snow, and simply for traditions sake.
What to do for fun Concordia offers a lot of options on campus including free movies, sporting events, and concerts. Lincoln is also 30 minutes away.
Dorm Life Dorm life is wonderful! Here at Concordia we build families on our hall floors. We are making life long friends.
Academic Rigor Academics are ranked very high at this school. The athletics programs even recognize this and put their athletes studies before anything else.
Tips for prospective students If you want a community based campus that make you feel welcome, choose Concordia. Concordia will help you to evolve into an educated adult who can handle anything with the knowledge learned hear and your faith life.
In three sentences Concordia University has gone above and beyond to make my college experience exceptional. They provide me with life long lessons, faith, and kind spirited people. I would not change my experience for anything.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Very safe campus, everybody knows everybody. Lowest crime rate of any school I've looked into and in a safe medium sized town with a low crime rate.
Clubs and Activities A lot of different varsity sports, theatre, band, choir, church groups, clubs based on majors/interests, and intramural activities. Theres a lot you can do if you look.
Great for these types of students Anyone, high success rates which is always something to look into. Specifically those who want a smaller, more manageable and personal feeling campus.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Small observatory, amazing indoor track facility, and if you here somebody say meet me by the naked man, I was told it isn't some crazy guy in a loin cloth running around campus, it's a statue of Christ in the middle of campus... you know how college students are.
Bang for the buck Steep price tag, approximately $31,450 for room, board, and tuition. BUT many scholarships offered based on grades and an assortment of activities around campus. Definitely worth looking into, I'm hoping I get my moneys worth.
What to do for fun Medium sized town with plenty to do, not to mention intramural activities on campus, plus about 25minutes from Nebraska's capital with plenty of entertainment their.
Food and Dining Got the chance to eat at the cafeteria while visiting, great food and A LOT to choose from. Salad bar/buffet setup, pay one flat rate, go fill up your plates.
Dorm Life Good sized dorms with 2beds each, and special dorm olympics for fun during the year.
Academic Rigor I don't know, I haven't attended, but with small classes it's easier to get to know teachers and get help on a more personal level.
In three sentences Loved the campus, gave you a homey feeling, and everyone knows everyone. Professors seem to truly care about their students and I can't wait to hopefully go here next fall. Price tag is a little steep but they offer many scholarships to help with that and it's a school worth looking into.

Ogando latest reinforcement to Rangers' staff
Righty returns from disabled list to help once-depleted rotation
Reinforcements have finally arrived for a hobbled Rangers rotation.
On Monday, Texas completed a trade with the Cubs for Matt Garza and activated Yu Darvish from the disabled list. On Tuesday, the Rangers will send Alexi Ogando to the mound for the first time since June 5.
Ogando will face the Yankees in his first start since he landed on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation on June 9.
"He's good to go -- he hasn't had any issues with his shoulder," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "He's done everything he needs to do to get ready. We expect him to keep us in the ballgame."
Ogando struggled during his rehab assignment, posting an 0-1 record and a 6.23 ERA over three starts. He fared well in his last outing, though, allowing just two runs on three hits over seven innings on Thursday.
Ogando was 4-2 with a 2.93 ERA before going on the DL, and Washington doesn't expect the right-hander to be limited now that he's back.
"He's ready to throw over 100 pitches," Washington said. "The bats of the New York Yankees will tell us how far he can go. If my ears start to hurt, I'll go get him. If I don't hear the loud sounds of their bats, we'll keep him out there."
The Yankees will send Phil Hughes to the mound to face Ogando. Hughes had an up-and-down first half of the season, going 4-9 with a 4.57 ERA, but he's always had success against Texas.
The right-hander has a 2.08 ERA in four career starts against the Rangers, and he's allowed just four runs in 18 innings at Rangers Ballpark. Hughes had one of his best starts of the season against Texas on June 27, allowing just two runs on five hits over eight innings.
"For him, similar to CC [Sabathia], it's location of his fastball," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "At times he threw the ball very well, and at times he struggled."
Yankees: Romine inching closer
• Girardi wanted to put Austin Romine behind the plate on Sunday night against the Red Sox, but a stiff neck kept the Yankees' backup catcher on the bench. After giving Romine two nights off, Girardi hopes to get him back on the field on Tuesday.
"We're dealing with [his stiff neck]," Girardi said. "Hopefully he'll be in there [on Tuesday]."
Chris Stewart started all three games against Boston and on Monday against Texas, going 2-for-12 in that stretch. Romine is batting just .158 this season, but he is 3-for-8 over his past three games.
Rangers: Andrus starts second half hot
• The All-Star break provided a much-needed few days off for Elvis Andrus, who had fallen into along slump after a hot start to the season. After batting .270 in April and May, the Rangers' shortstop hit just .208 over his next 39 games.
Andrus seems to have figured some things out after the four days off, though. He's put together a modest four-game hitting streak to start the second half of the season, batting .357 with a double, two walks, two runs scored and two stolen bases during that span.

Its interesting to see Alissa's name tossed around when discussing skaters who are done. How many times did we write Alissa off while holding up Kimmie and Emily up as examples of all that was right with US skating? Both are done while Alissa is US and GPF champ. Yes, she landed 5th at Worlds, but she's still the fifthe best skater in the world and that's nothing to sneeze at...
Color me optimistic, but I am hopeful for Zhang. She might still make some noise. Ashley is the only person holding her back. If she ever focuses, she will be fine.
I dig Gao and Agnes. But after years of watching the new young things not being successful, I choose not to pay attention to the new crop until they've been in the seniors for two years and have good showings internationally.
Well.... that is sort of why I have a hard time being optimistic about Ashley and Caroline at this point.
But it's like I said, if they prove the naysayers wrong I will be thrilled for them and it will be a wonderful story to follow. There's nothing better than a comeback story in figure skating or a story about a skater who struggles for years before finally living up to their potential like Alissa at the GPF and nationals and of course Paul Wylie. So if Ashley and Caroline do get their moments it will be great to see. But for now I'm watching other skaters more.
Me too... Its more about watching these skaters who have oodles of talent but for some reason a mental block when it comes to competition. Or the phenoms who are pronounced world beaters only to falter on the senior stage... Take Be Be for instance. I remember when she was pronounced the second coming and then just NOTHING! But a wonderful skater. For their sake, I hope Zhang and Ashley figure out the formula for success. I also hope that Gao and Agnes make huge splash. Time will tell and since its the off season, I can brim with nationalistic pride and be positive. Sorta like my husband when he talks about the Detroit Lions. September will come soon enough and we will see...
Yeah, I once saw Bebe on Ice Diaries, along with Cziny and Danielle Kahle. It seemed like Bebe always had trouble with her flip.
To pangtongfan: please. Bebe was very talented and she was popular for a reason: she stood out from the crowd and skated with speed and pizzazz. As a Grand Prix competitor she was in the elite ranks for a long time so obviously she was very good even if not a podium contender for the most part. No need to write her off so dismissively. Doing so doesn't make your resume any longer.
The adjective "mediocre" is defined differently among fans.
Bebe Liang got to compete at one Worlds in 2008 (yes, due to Nagasu and Flatt being too young but it still counts and she placed a respectable 10th) and she did win a few international medals in her career:
2006 - Nebelhorn Trophy - 1st
2006 - Four Continents Championships - 3rd
2005 - Nebelhorn Trophy - 3rd
2002 - Junior Grand Prix (China) - 2nd
2002 - Junior Grand Prix (United States) - 2nd
2000 - Triglav Trophy, Novice - 1st
BTW, she's on Twitter now: http://twitter.com/bebeliang
ETA: I noticed that no one wished Ashley Wagner a Happy 20th birthday (May 16) in this thread -- hope she had a good one!

I think it says more about Alyssa's longevity than anything. Czisny was always hyped since 2004 as "she could be one of the best in the world if she just hit her jumps" but that was all talk and the potential was never realized for years. Then she kinda popped out of nowhere and has been hot/cold ever since. She's America's version of Carolina Kostner in that sense.
Czisny is a "late bloomer" and that's very unusual for an American skater, at least these days. It's typical for the American lady to be a flash in the pan, make a big splash and then disappear/vacate soon after (think Lipinski, Meissner), or to show potential but never realize it (think Nam, Nikodinov). It remains to be seen where CZhang fits into all this- as it stands, she's another one that got away- but on the upside, she is still rather young...young enough, anyway, to be in the mix for 2018 if she ever pulled a Czisny. As it stands now, though, she is out of it.
I assume you're referring to Wagner holding herself back rather than holding Zhang back....I am hopeful for Zhang. She might still make some noise. Ashley is the only person holding her back. If she ever focuses, she will be fine.

Since 2004? The year that Kwan and Cohen both medaled at Worlds, someone was out there hyping up Czisny? I am not saying that it's not true, but it is astounding to me because I haven't heard of her at that time. But maybe some people within the skating community and/or forum participants did.
Here is Alissa at 2004 Skate America.
There was a buzz about her but it was all about the future. Alissa was no threat to Sasha or Michelle in '04.
And just for fun a look back at Miki from 2004 Skate America.

Alice's Attic: Styles change more than we do
Does one always need to conform to the current fashion?I look in my closet every morning hoping something new will appear. Nope, it doesn't happen anymore.So, just to make it all look different, I rearrange everything according to color, size and season. I figure out what might go well with something that I hadn't thought about before. There are three sizes of clothes, two of which I never wear!There are no tight pants, fancy loose tops, off the shoulder chicDresses – or any dresses for that matter. Oh yes, I do have one black with a gold pattern that can be worn for either funerals or weddings. But no dresses that are tight and made with only one foot of material.Shoes? No high heels or even close to high for me. Surely, I would tip over.Comfortable – that is what I look for when I go to the shoe shop.They need to be stylish, though. I am not a complete prude.Some TV shows have "make overs" for people who they grab off thestreet. I always think most of them looked better before.Who is going to wear a red dress, high heels or high boots, and ashawl after they arrive home again? I am overwhelmed when I go into a large department store with hundreds of different clothes on racks upon racks – petite, medium, large, extra large, extra-extra large.Is there any department anywhere with cool, medium length sleeves, comfortable, but cute dresses for just going to the grocery store or drug store?I do have clothes in a second closet that are nice for dining out and such. Old, probably out of style, but, nice! I'll be darned if I will every get rid of them"Please clerk, where are the retired ladies clothes? … In the basement, you say?"

Over 30 Special Olympics athletes received free dental care at A.T. Still University in Mesa, Arizona last Thursday, thanks to Special Olympics' inspired dental students and professors. I was excited to be there because Cindy McCain was coming out in a great show of support for our athletes and it was the first time I was seeing the next generation of Special Olympics in action. Today was the culmination of years of trainings and screenings that had been conducted worldwide by Special Olympics. This time the dentists were actually going to treat the athletes' health issues instead of just screen and refer them. So, when many young dental students were absolutely overflowing with excitement about providing care for our athletes and for many of them to be close to tears because of it – I did not take it for granted. It really was a Special Day for Special Smiles and it was particularly nice to have Mrs. McCain - a terrific ambassador for us - in our midst to share the day.

A Year of Schnibbles | September
First thing to catch up on is my September (yes, I know it's already November 5th) Year of Schnibbles quilt. I'm sure you've heard of the Year of Schnibbles by now. The brainchild of Sinta and Sherry, A Year of Schnibbles is a challenge (maybe more of an invitation) to complete one of Carrie Nelson's Schnibbles patterns each month for the next 12 months. I've always admired those patterns but never made one, so I was excited to jump in.
The first pattern for the month of September was called Winter White. It seemed like a great pattern, and I immediately knew that I was going to dip into my stash of Tula Pink's Nest line to make mine.
I scrambled to get it done in time (nothing like a deadline to keep you motivated) so that it could be included in Sinta & Sherri's monthly Parade of Schnibbles for September. As you can see, I didn't get it quilted and bound in time -- and it still isn't -- but I'm going to try to tackle it soon because I really like how this one came out!
Unfortunately, I didn't get to play along in October (when Cindy Lou Who was the selected pattern), and it's not looking good for November (Picnic) either. That's OK, though -- I don't need to make every one. I think I'll dip in and out based on the selected pattern and how the month's shaping up. There are quite a few Schnibbles patterns that I'm excited to make and hope will be in the rotation.
Oh, and did I mention there are prizes and giveaways involved? If you're not already participating in the Year of Schnibbles project, I encourage you to check it out. It's great fun.
Finally, to my dear readers: I miss you guys! How are you doing? What's new? What'cha working on? Anyone else (besides me) both looking forward to -- and stressing out -- about the holidays already?

You quilt top is great. I didn't make the deadline for the September Winter White. I'm just finished the quilting today and hope to get the binding done later today or tomorrow. I finished only the top for the Cindy Lou Who quilt. I love the way it turned out. I just have to quilt it now. Don't worry if it's not all quilted in time. Even if you have only the top done, or the center panel done, enter it anyways. It's amazing to see all the different quilts using the same pattern. Thanks for sharing yours. It's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks lovely--it'll be awesome whenever it's finished!
You're not alone in stressing for the holidays already--I have 15 people coming to my tiny house for Thanksgiving. Yikes! Good thing that a) this was my month to "send" for my bee, instead of "doing", b) I only have one mini to make and swap and c) I have a brother who works in food service and is pitching in to help me out!!
Glad to see you're still around, though, John! BTW, in my spare moments, I'm still plugging away at my wonky log cabins--can't wait until my Xmas (and wedding, and baby) gifts are finished so I can go back to doing whatever I want!Hi John,
hmmm did note you were MIA! you always have such inspiring quilts on your blog. But life does get away with all of us from time to time. I just love this quilt top, and the colours are so yummy. I have been following the Schnibbles projects over the last few months, and there is some exquisite work going on out there, not to mention how much fun everyone is having.Nice to see you back John. That quilt is beautiful.
I'm in complete denial about the upcoming holidays, at least we don't have Thanksgiving to deal with, but I do have hubby's birthday to think about. That's just the first one, then is big boy's (19, wow), and then after the dreaded Xmas the middle one (14). Tiring just thinking about it.
Looking forward to seeing some more blog posts :-)I really enjoy reading your blog , though I haven't posted often. I always liked traditional quilting and didn't really like the quirky and different until I started reading your blog.I've changed my attitude toward that thanks to you. I think you are most of an inspiration to your readers than you know. There is just something about the way you put the unexpected together that really seems to work.Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see what else you have instore for your readers.I have been doing more cross stitching than quilting in the recent months , but I am needing a quilting fix. Winter's coming on and would be a great time to do it. Take care!
ReplyDeleteI have only just discovered your blog! I have so many IDEAS and you really inspire me! I think I may try this Schnibbles thing to keep me motivated. I am expecting twins and I want to make 2 quilts before they're born and one more for my husband to take when he deploys next year. I don't know how to get it all done, so its nice to know I"m not the only one who gets behind on projects. Keep up the good work! and Thanks!

A couple of weeks ago, I suggested some songs that would make a good stewardship playlist in a post titled "Music to Give By." I then solicited suggestions and have now developed the Definitive Stewardship Soundtrack. I wanted to get away from songs overtly about money and use songs that got to the heart of stewardship — cultivating a culture of generosity. Therefore songs like "Money" by Pink Floyd were left on the cutting room floor.
There were however�lots of song suggestions that invoked the almighty dollar. Among them were (along with their nominators, if applicable):
"Shake Your Money Maker" — Elmore James (Solange de Santis)
"Money Makes the World Go Round" — Jaques Brel (Rusty Hesse)
"Price Tag" — Jessie J. (Liz Donohue)
"Fields of Gold" — Sting
"For the Love of Money" — The O'Jays (Aleathia Nicholson)
"She Works Hard for the Money" — Donna Summer (Laura Toepfer)
"The Price You Pay" — Bruce Springsteen (Solange de Santis)
"Give it�Away Now" — Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Imagine" — John Lennon
"Everybody's Got a Hungry Heart" — Bruce Springsteen (Deb Seles)
"Another Brick in the Wall" — Pink Floyd
"If I Had a Million Dollars" — Barenaked Ladies
"Untold Stories" — Buju Banton (Gawain de Leeuw)
"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime" — old depression-era song
"Ain�t too Proud to Beg" — The Temptations (Solange de Santis)
"Dream On" — Aerosmith
"Give a Little Bit" — Supertramp (Maxwell Grant)
"Hurts So Good" — John Cougar (before he was Mellencamp!)
"Come Together" — The Beatles
"One Love, One Heart" — Bob Marley
"You've Got the Love" — Florence + the Machine (Megan Castellan)
"Higher Love" — Steve Winwood (Maxwell Grant)
"Give Until There's Nothing Left" — Reliant K (Kim Hardy)
"You Really Got Me" — The Kinks
"Everything I Own" — Ken Boothe (Gawain de Leeuw)

text: Post-Gazette -- An al-Qaida operative known as the "Uncatchable" has claimed responsibility for the attack on an Algerian natural gas complex in the desert that led to the deaths of at least 23 foreign hostages and raised new fears of Islamic extremism in North Africa.The comments by Mokhtar Belmokhtar, a veteran Islamic militant and arms trafficker, came as the U.S., Britain and other countries sought to learn the fate of their citizens after Algerian authorities announced Sunday that the hostage death toll was expected to rise."I am afraid unfortunately to say that the death toll will go up," Algerian Comm. Minister Mohamed Said Belaid told the state news agency. He added that the aim of the extremists, 32 of whom were killed during the siege, was to blow up the refinery and execute all the hostages.

A's, Blue Jays continue series of playoff contenders
Milone, Stroman battle as pair of top AL teams meet on Fourth of July
The Blue Jays and Athletics are in the midst of a crucial and difficult stretch of games leading up to the All-Star break.
After falling to the A's, 4-1, in the series opener on Thursday night at O.co Coliseum, the Blue Jays fell into a tie with the Orioles for first in the American League East.
The Blue Jays play their next nine contests on the road -- three more in Oakland, three against the Angels and three against the Rays -- before the Midsummer Classic on July 15. Meanwhile, the A's have a brutal 10-game run against the Blue Jays, Giants and surging Mariners before the All-Star Game.
On Friday, the A's and Jays square off in a Fourth of July matinee for the second of four games at O.co Coliseum.
"We've played some teams that have been in first place," said manager Bob Melvin, whose A's enter Friday leading the AL West. "Now the Blue Jays are in again, and really we got them started to an extent. We were there when they were going through their real hot streak."
Melvin isn't worried about the way the schedule plays out.
"We don't look too far into it, we just try to play the team that we're playing on a particular day and series and then move on to the next one, and that will be the case these next few," he said.
Much of their focus Friday will be on 23-year-old Toronto rookie Marcus Stroman, who'll be making just his seventh start of his big league career after entering the Blue Jays' rotation in late May. In June, Stroman went 2-2 with a 2.67 ERA in five starts. During that span, he held opponents to a .223 batting average over 30 1/3 innings while striking out 26 and walking eight. The 5-foot-9, 185-pound right-hander was effective and efficient, throwing 62 percent of his pitches for strikes while holding hitters to a .645 on-base plus slugging percentage.
In his last start, Stroman outdueled White Sox ace southpaw Chris Sale. Stroman allowed two runs on two hits and two walks over 6 2/3 innings, but he settled for a no-decision after Toronto manager John Gibbons decided to insert reliever Dustin McGowan with two outs, two on and the Blue Jays leading in the seventh inning.
On his first pitch, McGowan gave up a three-run homer to White Sox outfielder Dayan Viciedo as Chicago went on to a 4-3 victory.
"It's tough, because obviously I want to be out there. I felt strong, but I'm also young, so that was Gibby's choice," Stroman said afterward. "Dustin has been great for us all year, so it's not like I was mad about coming out of the game. I had 100 percent confidence in Dustin to come in and get that out. It' just one of those things."
The A's will counter Friday with soft-throwing left-hander Tommy Milone, who is 6-3 with a 3.79 ERA this season. In his past 10 starts, the 27-year-old out of the University of Southern California is 6-0 with a 2.87 ERA while striking out 39 and walking 13.
A's: Lefty reliever O'Flaherty comes off DL
The A's reinstated left-hander Eric O'Flaherty from the 60-day disabled list on Thursday afternoon and designated southpaw Jeff Francis for assignment.
O'Flaherty had Tommy John surgery on his pitching elbow in May 2013, and the A's signed him to a two-year, $7 million deal this January. He made eight appearances during a Minor League rehab assignment that began on June 6, posting a 3.86 ERA while holding opponents to a .188 average.
Melvin would ideally like to start using O'Flaherty in a few low-leverage situations.
"I'd like to get him in some games before we get him pitching in the seventh or eighth inning with two on," Melvin said. "In a perfect world, you'd like to get him in a couple of settings where it's a bit of a soft landing, but we'll see if that transpires."
Over the past five seasons, O'Flaherty has been one of the premier left-handed relievers in baseball, compiling a 1.99 ERA in 249 1/3 frames with Atlanta. Lefties are batting .200 against him for his career.
Toronto: Rasmus held out
Blue Jays center fielder Colby Rasmus was held out of Thursday's game in Oakland after slamming into the fence and hurting his right wrist during Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Brewers.
Rasmus finished Wednesday's game, but his wrist still felt sore Thursday before Toronto opened up a four-game set against the A's. In 51 games, Rasmus is hitting .224 with 11 doubles, 12 home runs, 27 RBIs and a serviceable .756 OPS.
He is considered day to day.
"The trainers are checking with him," Gibbons said Thursday. "He didn't think it was too bad [Wednesday], but we've been wrong on those before."
Worth noting
• A's third baseman Josh Donaldson was out of the A's starting lineup for a second day in a row on Thursday because of back stiffness.
• Blue Jays southpaw reliever Brett Cecil will be activated from the 15-day disabled list on Friday. Cecil hasn't made a Major League appearance since June 18, when he aggravated his groin pitching in New York.
