October 20, 2004
After an offseason of change, the West Coast offense that second-year coach Karl Dorrell envisioned for UCLA has come to fruition.
The Bruins (4-2, 2-1 Pac-10), who visit Arizona State (5-1, 2-1) on Saturday, are ranked among the nation's 25 most potent offenses, averaging 434.3 yards per game.
They have the balance coaches strive for, averaging 220 yards in the air and 214 on the ground.
After last year's team struggled by averaging just 294.9 yards, Dorrell fired mentor and former boss Steve Axman as offensive coordinator. Axman now coaches at Washington.
He was replaced by former Idaho coach Tom Cable, who also took over tutoring the offensive linemen.
Under Cable's leadership, the running game has improved dramatically from its 2003 average of 91.9 yards.
Starting quarterback Drew Olson has emerged the past two weeks by throwing eight touchdown passes.
"Tom has the experience in this offense," Dorrell said.
Cable ran the offense during his four seasons as coach at Idaho and worked under Steve Mariucci at California. "The biggest thing is teaching it," Dorrell said. "He's been effective doing it."
Olson's emergence, not coincidentally, has taken place as defenses have loaded up on stopping running backs Maurice Drew and Manuel White.
Drew, who had a record 322 yards against Washington earlier in the year, has had just 64 rushing yards the past two weeks against Arizona and California.
"Maurice has drawn a lot of attention," Dorrell said. "Teams have done a much better job of defensing him."
But Olson has "started to blossom," Dorrell noted.
Olson has flourished despite not having his best receiver, Craig Bragg, who has missed the past three games with a dislocated left shoulder. Junior tight end Marcedes Lewis has five touchdown passes among his 19 receptions.
"The element we need to get going again is the running game, " Dorrell said. "We are working on trying to keep the balance we had early in the season."
Olson didn't rank in the top ten in passing efficiency in the Pac-10 last year (Cal had two quarterbacks that did) after completing 173-of-325 passes for 2,067 yards and 10 touchdowns with nine interceptions. Olson has thrown 12 TD passes this season.
"Drew is playing pretty well," Dorrell said.
The same can't be said of the Bruins' defense.
UCLA ranks 105th among the 117 NCAA Division I-A teams, allowing 438 yards a game.
Injuries have taken their toll, particularly in the defensive line. UCLA has yet to start the same defensive front four on consecutive weeks.
The youth and inexperience in the offensive line prompted Dorrell to move senior Eyoseph Efseaff, a 36-game starter on offense, to defensive tackle. He'll start if junior C.J. Niusulu hasn't recovered from a swollen left ankle.
Last week freshman end Brigham Harwell, who was hotly pursued by Arizona State last year, made his first start.
UCLA needs linebacker Justin London (nagging ankle injury) to return to good health to have any defensive improvement.

"Shadowing" is a sign language interpreting technique for theatrical performances.
The placement of sign language interpreters during theatrical performances is a challenge. It is hard for individuals who are deaf to simultaneously watch the interpreter and the performance if the interpreter is not positioned adequately. One solution has involved "shadowing" where each speaking actor is followed by a signing interpreter. Some theatrical companies have placed interpreters just below but in front of the stage so that viewers can see the action on stage, yet also see the interpreter at the bottom of their visual field. Some playwrights are also integrating deaf characters into their scripts who can naturally interpret while on stage.

French conceptualist Davide Balula's multi-media practice bears the weight of Yoko Ono's instruction pieces while drawing on a variety of both historical and contemporary sources from the radically succinct Lawrence Weiner to the varied oeuvre of Piero Manzoni and the greater Fluxus canon. Paddle8 was fortunate enough to gain some insight into Balula's latest project that revolves around the physical and psychological sensations generated by Niagra Falls:
The Niagara project originated while I was doing a series called the River Paintings (as I traveled around the world, I tried to bring along empty canvases along and submerge them into various rivers, letting them soak and cook so their own sediments stain the canvas). I have always been interested in river volumes, speed, weather, and how those features effect riverbeds and other surroundings. I wondered about the potential freeze of the most powerful waterfalls and how they lose an extremely large quantity of the water while falling into snow and mist, evaporating. (When you are visiting the city, you are actually breathing some Niagara Falls Water Drops without noticing it).
In the past, I printed images of frozen waterfalls onto thermal fax paper and exposed them in the light. Within a couple months their image would melt and vanish. For an other event, I made an ice sculpture that gave the illusion of backsplash generated when the cascading water impacted the pool below. I let the piece float and melt in a river, creating the impression of a silent explosion in slow motion. The piece was accompanied by a sonic cocktail with drinkable chemicals that completed the missing sound of the frozen visual by popping loudly in the glass.
Last year, in the dead of winter, I visited Niagara Falls and saw them almost frozen. The ice narrowed the path of the water creating tremendous pressure.
My first mission was to repeat the simple gesture of manually transporting water to skip the freeze and the fall: I would fill my jug with some water right before the falls, then I would go down the hill to reach the lower extension of the river and would pour the water out at the bottom.
After I did this exercise a couple times, I decided to collect some extra water to bring back to New York and pour it in the city. We thoroughly purified the water through many different electro-chemical processes so that we could invite friends to drink authentic Niagara Falls water, and continue our own exploration of the falls.
Because I wanted to focus more on the time the water would take to travel within the body, diuretic herbs seemed to be a good way to highlight the body's biological clock, emphasizing the duration of digestion and excretion (and obviously recalling a reduced height version of the falls).
Among a large variety of the diuretic herbs, we selected several roots and leaves to carefully infuse into the beverage so as to urge the urine to manifest its journey. We primarily chose the roots that would make the beverage look, feel and taste like a wild river: minerals, wind, underwater grass, trout skin, mud…
We tried many different variations and proportions, different techniques of extracting the flavors and finalized the version we would share. (I set aside another part to become a liquor that is currently aging in a small barrel).
Once the drink was set, I listed 9 stages representing the different steps of the swallowing and ingestion process, the different steps a liquid encounters inside the body.
The 9 parts became 9 different musical acts:
1. The lips
2. The mouth
3. The pharinx
4. The esophagus
5. The stomach
6. The Intestines
7. The Blood Stream
8. The Kidneys
9. The bladder
These acts were translated into music through a text-based score with descriptions of sound related to activities of the body.
A group of musicians (Jonathan Bailey, Shelley Burgon, Saunder Jurrians and myself) used various instruments (Violin, harp, drums and percussion, guitars, accordions, horns, flutes…) and improvised some melodies interpreting in real time the text which was being shown on a TV screen. The audience who had just drank the Niagara cocktail, followed the text while listening. Everyone was experiencing the passage of the Niagara water through their own body, and they were all on their way to create the last act on their own, their own performance finale in private.
NIAGARA FALLS & CRANBERRY LEAVES is a drink made of natural water harvested by Davide Balula on the site of Niagara Falls.
NIAGARA FALLS & CRANBERRY LEAVES is also a musical experience in which musicians are asked to interpret the different steps of the swallowing process, interpreting in real time the inner travel of the liquid.
A special thanks to Julia Trotta for helping with the project.

I have a Philips HD TV set connected via HDMI cable to the computer as a second display using Catalyst version 13.11. After watching TV for about 15-20 minutes colors on TV swithes to inverse colors. After another 15-20 minutes it switches back to normal colors. Colors on the first monitor are perfect continuously, there is no such change on the monitor only on the TV set.
I have updated Catalyst to the latest version 14.4. but there is no improvement.
How can I fix it ? What is the reason of this problem.

this is pathetic
It is so dumb that I only post like once a month. Maybe that will change. After all I will have a computer! So rather than recap, I think I am just going to write what is on my mind, which is a lot. It is going a mile a minute... i just wish i could capture with words the images that i see as fast as i see them. hey, you'd understand if you were in my brain.
So I am really extremely bored. All I have done in the last couple of days is watch movies and such. I have seen a lot of interesting movies but still! The only outcome of this is me realizing that i need to see both the third matrix and the third lord of the rings and no one to go with. Plus I can't wait for the third x men. lol. my goal this break was to read as much as possible. i just don't want to do anything... unless it involves other people. but only certain people
I am so annoyed with my mullen friends. But I am not sure that it is right to call them that. I have met so many cool people in the last few months. These people see me as me. I am alice, the girl in their graphic design class, or the girl down the hall, or the one that shows up a party and orders pizza for everyone, or the one from colorado that swears its the best state, the one that parties with kiki on fridays and lorelei every once in a while, meg's roommate, etc... When I walk into a room people say "Alice! how are ya!?" and they actually seem to care. some of my friends from here don't really seem to notice that i walked in at all. i am just taken for granted. Now i have to back up....
I didn't get back home until the beginning of last week. The first night I was here everyone went to the zoolights. I found out/ was invited too late for me to go, so i didn't. Then i was invited for New Year's eve, but already kinda had plans with other people. After that it was impossible to get ahold of people. They didn't bother to call me until saturday, but again i already had plans. Each time this happened they would say "whats your excuse?" jokingly. But it still pissed me off. Your asking me what my excuse is when you are the ones not anwering my phone calls?!
So after all this, i do finally hang out with them and we go to the grizly rose. it was fun, but not because i interacted with any of them, but because i had fun dancing. I didn't feel like i was part of the group. It was like I had to fight to be part of conversations asking "whats going on?" Then I wonder.... and realize, i don't think i was ever actually part of the group to begin with. So maybe I should just say screw it. if they call me and invite me to something i might go. But I am not going to count on it and wait around anymore. I have better friends. While in colorado i would much rather spend time with Elisabeth, Ryan, Dustin, and Joanna.
I realize something else.... these people have always been true friends. these friendships have been tested. and we still hang out. I don't ever feel like i am being blown off, or left out. Elisabeth and I have remained friends from several states away and almost 4 years, Joanna and I didn't see eachother much during the year when we didnt' have ballet, then Ryan and Dustin live so close but I hardly ever see them. These are the people that I have the best memories with. Its sad. It kinda feels like I wasted my highschool years.....
I am glad that I realize now who to hold on to. And hopefully I will take that with me to my friends at school. I can't wait to see them again, hopefully it will be even more fun next semester!
So I guess this has become more focused then I thought it would be....

Birds by name
Conservation status: Green
The UK's largest and commonest pigeon, it is largely grey with a white neck patch and white wing patches, clearly visible in flight. Although shy in the countryside it can be tame and approachable in towns and cities. Its cooing call is a familiar sound in woodlands as is the loud clatter of its wings when it flies away.
Columba palumbus
Pigeons and doves (Columbidae)
Found across the UK in fields and woods, and also in towns and cities where they frequent parks and gardens.
All year round
Crops like cabbages, sprouts, peas and grain. Also buds, shoots, seeds, nuts and berries.

Sebastian Vettel is not concerned about the weather playing a significant role in this weekend's title decider.
The final race of this Formula One season could be an extremely wet one with thunderstorms forecast for Saturday's qualifying and heavy rain for Sunday's race.
The weather could play into the hands of Vettel's title rival, Fernando Alonso, as his Ferrari is no match to the RB8 in the dry but has won two wet races already this season.
Vettel, though, is very relaxed about the situation.
"I think in terms of general preparation we do what we can; weather wise... it's Sao Paulo," said the German during Thursday's press conference.
"It's the same as if you go to Spa, things change quickly and the weather changes a lot here.
"I spoke some locals and I think there was a big rain [storm] a few days ago which wasn't expected.
"Probably for Saturday and Sunday there is some rain on the way, but you don't know how much, or when.
"I asked Pirelli if they had all the containers here with the rain tyres, and that's the case, so I don't think we have to be concerned!"
Should it stay dry, though, Vettel is in the pound seats as he holds a 13-point advantage over Alonso and is expected to be behind the wheel of the more superior of the two cars at a track where Red Bull have won the last three seasons.
"The circuit seemed to suit our car in previous years. We need to confirm it this year.
"So all eyes on Friday to start the weekend to get into the groove. I think we can be as confident as we could in this stage. Obviously we know there is a lot ahead but I think we are in a great position."

So… a bit over a year ago I cut up my mother's curtains to make my second ever dress! It was fun! (First one's here on my blog: The Colour Blocking 101-Dress )
I absolutely adore this pattern, but I made a few changes anyway:
1) a shorter skirt
2) French seams
3) crochet lace <3
4) cut out back with mushroom-fabric-covered buttons
5) no facing around the neckline – only around the cut out in the back
6) almost-sweetheart neckline
If you're interested, there are a few more pictures in my brandspanking new blog !!

Is there anything more comforting than macaroni and cheese? Cold, wintry nights call for this warming classic. If you're looking to lighten things up the next time you dig into this indulgent dish, opt for this twist on tradition that amps up the nutritional value as it cuts back on calories and carbs.
Versatile and nutrient-rich spaghetti squash lays the base to this recipe, while broccoli adds even more vitamin A to this Fall recipe. The best part of all? The mix of lower-fat cheeses that results in a dreamy, rich-tasting sauce you can enjoy sans guilt. Keep reading to get this delicious, comforting recipe.
From Lizzie Fuhr, POPSUGAR Fitness
Spaghetti Squash Mac and Cheese
1 large spaghetti squash
Canola oil spray
2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
1 tablespoon ghee
1 tablespoon whole-wheat flour
1 cup low-fat milk
1 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional garnish
1 teaspoon grated parmesan, optional garnish
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Cut spaghetti squash in half, and scoop out and discard seeds. Spray the center of both halves of squash with cooking spray, and place cut side up on a cookie sheet. Roast until tender when pierced with a knife, about 50 minutes.
- Remove squash from oven, and let cool. Once it's safe to handle, scrape flesh into a large bowl. Add in steamed broccoli florets to bowl and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt ghee on medium heat and whisk in whole wheat flour. Add milk and whisk quickly. Turn heat down to low, add both cheeses to saucepan, and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
- Pour cheese sauce over spaghetti squash and broccoli mixture, and toss until all the squash is covered.
- Dish into four portions, and top off with red pepper flakes and extra cheese if you wish!

A comprehensive overview of the nutrition, health, and safety needs of young children from birth through school age, Nutrition, Health, and Safety for Young Children: Promoting Wellness, 2/e prepares future educators to implement healthful practices and teach young children ways to contribute to their own wellness.

In this new edition, the text has been streamlined to 16 chapters and still covers the wide range of challenges that teachers of young children are facing today, such as: an increasingly diverse population of young learners, more identified food allergies, concern about the obesity epidemic, the increase in pertussis (whooping cough) cases, focus on serving children with special health care needs in classrooms, new kinds of threats to children's safety, and increased awareness of the need to develop healthy environments and use sustainable practices in early childhood settings.

I love spending time with talented people, it's the best part of doing my job. The girls at Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom are wonderful! I had the pleasure of working with them again on a recent bridal editorial with photographer Howard Petrella.
The shoot took place on a beautiful sunny day at Discovery Park. We met early in the morning and then carpooled together in a big RV. It was totally loaded with designer wedding dresses and gorgeous accessories, handpicked by Seattle Met's Laura Cassidy and Jill Spitznass of Portland Bride and Groom. It's dizzying to watch how fast those two can style a model.
While I did hair and makeup in the RV, there was a fat Uhaul outside stuffed full of Props brought in by The Adventure School.
The art director Samantha Gardner did a beautiful job setting up the shots.
The car was brought in by a local collector, totally made the shoot!

Mark your calender's for 10/29! The beautiful girls behind Get Hitched, Give Hope have put together a first class event that's not to be missed! This year it will be bigger and better than ever, showcasing Seattle's most talented wedding professionals and the chance to acquire their goods and services for a fraction (not to mention a perfect excuse to get dressed up with your girls, have a few drinks and mingle!). Last year, the event raised $30,000 for the Making Memories Foundation, to grant wishes for terminally ill cancer patients.
Nothing kicks off the Fall like dressing up for a good party, and giving to a great cause! My girls and I will be doing hair and makeup for the lovely models behind the scenes, we'll see you there!+ Read more…

Lulu Weddings – Preferred VendorMay 12, 2009 | Posted By: ErinSkipley | bridal · press · Uncategorized |
I was soo delighted to receive an email from the lovely ladies at Lulu Weddings, saying "You're our Favorite!" Lulu was created by a group of some of the most talented photographers in Seattle, who know the Seattle wedding industry inside and out! It's super cool because it's a completely non-profit wedding planning site with vendors chosen on the following criteria:
- extremely high level of customer service to both brides & grooms
- extremely high level of customer service to other vendors in the industry
- product & service excellence at a recent wedding where a Lulu photographer could experience your services firsthand
- frequency of which that a Lulu Photographer has been able to work with you to ensure that your service and products are consistently fantastic
Lulu Wedding is a great resource for finding the best vendors in the industry because there are no paid listings, only the vendors they choose to list. Love it!! Thank you girls!!

Seattle Metropolitan Bride and GroomFebruary 18, 2009 | Posted By: ErinSkipley | bridal · Uncategorized |
It takes an army to put together a dream wedding, and nearly that for a bridal editorial! I did hair and makeup for the recent issues of Seattle Metropolitan Bride and Groom and Portland Bride and Groom, shot by canadian photographer Renat Touichev. (The winter issues so hurry and grab your copies!). The shoot took place over two days at the beautiful Lakewold Gardens in Lakewood WA. I've included a few shots from the magazines (the shot on the blue fabric below is my favorite favorite!) and behind the scenes photos from the day..
what it takes to put a dream together..

Is there a face lift in your fridge?June 12, 2007 | Posted By: ErinSkipley | bridal · Uncategorized |
If you need to get your skin into optimal condition fast, I highly recommend Three-Day Nutritional Face-lift™ . It aids in the elimination of puffiness, increases contours, firms jaw line, etc. I noticed that it also helped to heal exsisting blemishes. I hope you like salmon! You must eat it twice a day for the ideal effects of the DMAE, astaxanthin and the essential fatty acids to take effect. Your skin will be firm, glowing and radiant in three days, or atleast noticably improved. You can subsitute poultry or tofu, but the essential fatty acids and antioxidants in salmon give the skin optimal radiance, suppleness, and glow.
For further reading and a miracle working 28 day diet, read The Perricone Prescription . It's a great resource on nutrition based skincare to keep your skin looking its best.+ Read more…


text: We had a canoe trip planned that would last the whole day. We were all a little worried when it was raining in the morning, and the rain kept up some while we were traveling by boat to the region we were going to canoe in, but eventually it cleared up nicely and turned into a beautiful day. The early rain probably helped keep things a little cooler, which was nice.
