Leo 7/23 – 8/22Wait it out. Easter candy will go on sale soon.

Virgo8/23 – 9/22Deviled eggs can be the devil if you eat too many. Limit yourself to five.

Libra9/23 – 10/22Sunshine is like your drug this week. Once the clouds blow away, you’ll be hopping full of energy from the Vitamin D surge.

Scorpio10/23 – 11/21It’s time to be 5 again. Go to the Dollar Store and buy an Easter egg dye kit and get crafty.

Aries 3/21 - 4/19 Your new culinary perfection? Two marshmallow Peeps in the microwave on high for 12 seconds. No more, no less.

hor!cope"Taurus4/20 – 5/20 It may sound like a good idea at the moment, but just because bunnies are on sale at the pet store, doesn’t mean you have the time or the patience to take care of one.

Gemini5/21 – 6/20Just like a Taurus, beware of the chick sales at the pet store. Do you know what cute, fluffy pet chicks grow up as? Chick-ens. And they’re scary.

Cancer 6/21 – 7/22 Switch your backpack out for an Easter basket this week. Not only is it a stress off of your back, but people are more willing to give you free candy this way.

Sagittarius11/22 - 12/21Just like Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, the Easter Bunny won’t come to your house until you fall asleep. So stop stressing about homework and get some sleep so there’s some hope for candy-filled eggs this year.

Capricorn12/22 - 1/19Yeah, it’s been a hard week, but don’t take it out on your dark chocolate Easter bunny by violently chewing off each of its limbs.

Aquarius1/20 – 2/18Your stress levels are soaring, but make sure to take some time for yourself, before you lay an egg.

Pisces2/19-3/20Pull out the pastels. The sunny weather is calling for bright clothing.

pre ‘the heist’ – songs better than thrift shop

The University of Idaho commu-nity has been buzzing for more than a month now about what might be the biggest gig in Finalsfest history — Macklemore, who will rock the Kibbie Dome on May 3.

You can’t go anywhere without hearing “Thrift Shop” and as a Seattle-ite it’s getting annoying.

So if you love “Thrift Shop” here’s a list of Macklemore songs prior to “The Heist” that you should give a try.

“Church ft. Geologic of Blue Scholars”

A common re-occuring theme in Macklemore’s music is religion. Not to praise it, not even to diss it, but to look at it objectively. In this

track, Macklemore tells us why his religion is music, but how he respects the Catholic culture he was raised with even if it’s not his way of life anymore.

“The Magic” Want to get inside the head of

how a young Macklemore wrote songs? This is an essential track off of his “Language of my World” al-bum. This is the classic track about a hip hop artist going through the ebbs and flows of life and how he translates those experiences into rhymes on the piece of paper.

“The Club”Put in Moscow terms, this track

is basically about what happens to 90 percent of us dudes who go

to CJ’s on a Friday night with high expectations for the night. What people love about ‘Thrift shop’ is Macklemore’s sense of humor and how he puts it together with clever rhymes, flow and a non-satirical feel. This song delivers just as much, if not more, than Thrift shop.

“B-Boy” “To my real hip hop heads,

please stand up. Because the only people that can preserve the art is us.”

This is just one of the many statements and questions about the hip-hop culture overall that set Macklemore apart and made him different. It will answer why Mackl-emore built his own success and will probably surpass Tech n9ne as

the most successful independent artist.

“Otherside”Before “The Heist” destroyed

iTunes and Spotify charts, Ryan Lewis and Macklemore debuted together with the VS EP. Here Macklemore documents his own battles with substance abuse and relates his struggle to that of others. More importantly, he makes the lis-tener think about how mainstream it is for hip-hop culture to glorify substance abuse.

“Irish Celebration” Macklemore isn’t from Ireland,

he’s from Capitol Hill. That didn’t stop him from paying homage to his heritage. It’s a track that all can

relate to who are proud of their heritage.

“At the Party”In order to understand the

state of hip-hop today you must understand its history. Let profes-sor Macklemore take you through the proud history of the culture from DJ Kool Herc to where we are today.

“And We Danced” This is the first track that put

Macklemore on the semi-main-stream path. The title is as self-explanatory as the lyrics, because everybody that bumps this track has a really, really, really good time.

Confidence is a key ingredient of any rec-ipe, and what better way to feel confident than to look your best in the kitchen. Aprons decorated with ruffles, flowers and ribbons are reminiscent of middle-aged house-wives, but with mini-mal artistic talent and money you can create your own suited to your sense of fashion. My best friend and I spent an afternoon together designing our personal aprons. We chose plain black

aprons and colorful puff paint. It was a great bonding experi-ence, and now I’m in-spired to use my cute apron for a practical purpose while looking totally fetch.

While Moscow has a variety of restaurants around town, Main Street was lacking a little culture.

When you first look

at the menu of Maialina, the napoletana style pizzeria, you may be intimidated by the fact that 90 percent of the menu is in Italian. Fear not, the waiters and waitresses are trained to know the menu from front to back.

“Napoletana” is Italian for Neapolitan, and pizzeria napoletana means an authentic style pizza made with moz-zarella and fresh tomatoes that comes served as an uncut pizza. Every type of pizza with red sauce on the menu is also topped with fresh tomato and in-house mozerella — which contributes to the authenticity of the restaurant.

Underneath the list of pizzas with red sauce on the menu is a list of pizza styles with white sauce. Each of these pizzas is topped with cream and garlic, some even with the in-house ricotta. Of course, the different styles of pizza all con-sist of different toppings aside from the cheese and sauce, and some are familiar — others, not so much.

The authenticity of the piz-zeria gives off the Italian vibe it is meant to achieve. When I

ordered a glass of red wine, it came served in a short, what looked to me like a femi-nine scotch glass. I asked my waitress why my wine came served in such a glass. She said these small glasses are what wine was served in, in Italy, before French stemware was invented.

While the pizza is exquisite, Maialina also offers antipasti (appetizers), insalate (salad) and dolci (dessert).

One of my favorite parts about the restaurant was being able to see the brick oven from my seat all the way on the other side of the room. You can almost taste the crunchy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside, warm, perfectly browned crust.

The service was great from beginning to end and not only did the waitress have a great attitude, she was very knowl-edgeable about the contents of the complicated, but delicious Italian menu.

DirectionsPlan your design ahead of time so you know exactly what you want your apron to look like. Place the apron on a flat surface. I suggest drawing or tracing your design on the apron with a pencil first, and using puff paint second.

After you draw the design in pencil, use puff paint to first outline and then fill in the de-sign. I used various shades of blue and green. Use a toothpick to swirl the colors together in a pattern or clean up an edge if the paint drips.

After you finish, put the apron in a safe place to dry overnight. You can also add bows, gem-stones or other accessories for a more glamorous look.

Moscow’s hottest fashion show is less than a month away, back with more one-of-a-kind designs from some of University of Idaho’s very own student artists.

The third annual Moscowrade Wear-able Art Fashion Show will take place at 8 p.m. April 20 at the Eastside Mar-ketplace Convention Center — the same weekend as UI’s Mom’s Weekend.

UI Clothing, Textiles and Design seniors Crystal Truong, Kate Mills and Mollie Wonacott are the co-directors of the event being produced by Body Con, a student club founded by the trio.

The Moscowrade first launched under Antiques by Russ owner Russ

Wheelhouse, Truong said.“He has this vision of up-cycled

artwork going down the runway,” she said. “He likes the idea of sustainable items being made into clothing, and that is what we really focus this event around.”

This year’s fashion show will highlight both up-cycled and non-recycled designs from students and community members in Moscow and surrounding communities. In the past, designs using garbage bags, cof-fee filters, newspaper, candy wrappers and other reusable materials have all been featured in the show.

“It is really a creative project,” Truong said. “We don’t have a specific collection that we are aiming toward. Each designer is coming up with something unique and fun to put into the show.”

Mills said they are expecting close to 40 models to debut designs from about 25 different designers.

She said they sold 200 tickets for last year’s fashion show, and she is anticipating between 200-300 tickets will be sold this year.

Tickets prices are $12 for front row seats, $10 for second row, $8 dollars for third row and $5 for general admis-sion to the event. Students with their student ID will receive a $2 dollar dis-count on first through third row seats or $5 for general admission.

“All of our ticket proceeds will go to Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse, which has been our charity every year for the Moscowrade show,” Mills said.

Volunteer hair and makeup art-ists from Essence Salon will be back stage at the event, prepping and glamming the models for a walk down the runway.

“This is the first year we are doing a model training the Tuesday before the event,” she said. “We have an (experi-enced) model chair and model assistant

chair who will be putting together a little workshop on how to walk in heels, how to pose and how to hold the face.”

Body Con has also teamed up with Moose Lodge for hors d’oeuvres and drinks at the show, she said.

Truong said they are having a 21-and-up after party at Gnosh, where there will be drink and food specials along with great music.

Body Con is a UI student-run club for Clothing, Textiles and Design majors that provides students the opportu-nity to put together shows, photo shoots and fundraising events to gain experience and develop a portfolio. Professional photographers will take photographs at the event for designers’ portfolios.

Tickets are available at Essence Salon or Antiques by Russ.

At first glance, it doesn’t look a typical college hangout — there are bright lights, a few bar stools and tables, no music, a random assortment of Univer-sity of Idaho memorabilia, a shuffle board and a couple TVs.

The Corner Club in down-town Moscow is more than a college hangout or sports bar, and it appeals to a varied crowd.

“It is most people’s unofficial home for the time they spend here,” Club owner Marc Trivel-piece said. “It doesn’t really have any rules or boundaries as far as who comes. We get farmers in here at 10 a.m., and then college kids. And of course when alumni come back to town, they want to go see … the Corner Club.”

The Corner Club was recently ranked number five among the top 20 best college bars on the website bestcollegesonline.com.

UI senior Bailey Merwin said the Corner Club is by far her favorite bar in town.

“They don’t try to be any-thing they’re not,” she said. “It’s a place to come out and meet people and drink with your friends, and that’s all it needs to be.”

Merwin said she also ap-preciates the Club’s quality, yet affordable beverages.

Specials unique to the Club include ladies night, which features half-price well drinks, and peanut night, in which free peanuts are served and attend-

ees can throw the shells on the floor. Trivelpiece said the Corner Club is also the home of the tub, and is the only bar in town with a shuffleboard league. The winning team gets a free bar tab and T-shirts.

Corner Club bartender Billy Meyers said the Club is also deeply engrained in sports history.

“We have some of the pre-mier Idaho sports memorabilia in here that exists — not even just for the town of Moscow,” Meyers said.

And then there’s the story of Gus Johnson.

Johnson played basketball for Idaho in 1963 and had a reputation for being one of the first “high-flyers” in the game and one of the “pioneers of the dunk,” according to UI athletics.

Trivelpiece said then-owner Hermie Goetz asked Johnson to show customers his verti-cal. Starting from a standing position near the bar, Johnson jumped up and touched a spot on a beam 11 feet 6 inches above the floor. A nail marked the spot, and Goetz said anybody who could reach it again would drink for free.

Trivelpiece said it wasn’t until 1986 that College of Southern Idaho basketball player Joey Johnson, the younger brother of NBA star Dennis Johnson, grabbed and bent the nail on his third try.

The Club has since been renovated, but a black brick above the door now commemo-

rates the spot.UI All-American John Yarno

who went on to play in the NFL and San Francisco 49er Mike Iupati also frequented the Club during their time at UI, Trivel-piece said.

The Club once served horses, too.

“There’s this old story of a guy who used to ride his horse right into the bar, order a beer for himself and his horse, and ride home,” Trivelpiece said.

Trivelpiece said what is now the Corner Club was initially Moscow Brewery in 1983. Be-tween then and 1948, it was con-verted into a restaurant, church and a mission.

Goetz and his partner Neil Lynd bought the building in 1948 and turned it into the Corner Club.

Trivelpiece and his wife Stacey are the third set of own-ers. Trivelpiece said he worked at the Club from 1996-99 and bought it in 2007.

Meyers said what makes the Corner Club special is its ability to transcend social norms.

“There are locals who have been coming here for 30 plus years, that come every day,” he said. “But then you have students that come here between one time a week to every day, too. Sometimes they all know each other, or they might form friendships, and that’s really cool.”

The University of Idaho continues to stay up-to-date with technology by having not one, but two 3D printers on campus for students to gain experience with.

The Technical Design Studio in the Department of Art and Architecture has a 3D printer that prints a plaster material, and the Mechanical Engineering Department has a 3D printer that prints ABS plastic material. Students in these departments can use this equipment to get experi-ence with how the technol-ogy and the software work that goes along with it.

This technology is rela-tively new, but it is becom-ing more readily available to individuals as small machines and materials are becoming cheaper. 3D printers that will print objects up to 6 cubic inches can be found pre-assembled and ready to print for as low as $500. Earlier models can be found in kits that can take weeks to build and be ready to print. Larger machines that can print in metal and plastic mediums are more expensive and found more commonly at universi-ties and companies that have money for these things.

President Barack Obama’s recent talk about gun control laws have brought up the idea of printing guns with 3D print-ers. There have been many at-

tempts to print full guns with these printers, but they have failed to work properly. More commonly, people have been able to create pieces of a gun, such as the magazine clip, that have been successfully used to fire a gun.

People used to worry about criminals owning guns, but now they have another thing to worry about – 3D printers. Before, comput-ers and 2D printers made counterfeit money easier to produce, which hurt the economy. Now 3D printers have the ability to hurt bod-ies, which worries the public. So far there are no federal laws limiting what these printers can make.

Jay Pengilly, director of the Technical Design Studio, said that people are making these gun parts and trying to make full guns just to say that they can. With the gun control de-bates, people are just making the point that it is possible to do it. With or without 3D printers, if someone wanted to make a weapon, they would find a way to do it — they have been for years.

Like computers in their early stages, 3D printers are still a new technology that has potential to do good and bad. Many people wonder what the future holds for this new technology and encour-age its development.

Rather than the standard squat white bus, the Vandal Trolley was filling in the day I decided to ride Vandal Access Shuttle.

Joe Sivula, the driver and disability shuttle coordina-tor, said there was something wrong with the usual bus’ electrical system.

I sat for a few minutes on the trolley, waiting for the driver. As the engine roared to life, the sounds reverberated through the metal frame of the trolley. With wood seats, there isn’t much to absorb the sound.

“It’s cold, it’s noisy — not as comfortable for the riders,”

Sivula said.Instead of the usual shuttle’s

two wheelchair capacity, the trolley only has room for one.

It’s decorative, and looks great for alumni traveling between the VandalStore and the Kibbie Dome on game day, but the trolley is lousy for daily transportation.

“It’s not really equipped for the disabled,” Sivula said.

Our first circuit of campus was quiet. Sivula said shuttling slows down later in the morn-ing. We drove from the shiny new Intermodal Transit Center, up by the Administration Build-ing, past the Commons and up to the Kibbie Dome. Then we turned around, passing the Commons again, driving across

campus and ending up by the Student Union Building.

Sivula said the SUB and ITC are the only places the shuttle stops and waits. Otherwise, he stops when people flag him down.

The two drivers of the access shuttle always have a cell phone with them. Sivula said many passengers call for pickups.

For instance, he said a stu-dent with an injury living in the Wallace Residence Center, off the normal course, can call for a pick up and be dropped off near his or her class. Then they can call and get a ride to his next class, or back to Wallace.

The shuttle can stop almost anywhere on campus. Sivula said they call it a “deviated fixed

route.” He said they travel the route we drove, but if some-body needs to go somewhere else, he will drop them there as long as it is safe to do so.

Sivula stopped the bus out-side the library for one passen-ger, without ever having asked where he needed to go.

The mission of the Vandal Access Shuttle is to provide ac-cess to everywhere on campus for everyone. Their priority is injured or disabled students, but Sivula said everybody is welcome to ride.

Sometimes, he said they get riders who park out by the Kibbie Dome but don’t want to walk all the way to campus in cold, stiff winds. One rider, who got on the bus at the SUB, said

he walks to campus and then takes the shuttle so he doesn’t have to walk up the hill to the Commons.

Sivula said the shuttle was very busy after winter break, with many students returning to campus with injuries.

“Some of them pretty much need door to door service,” he said.

Later that day, I saw the Vandal Trolley had been re-placed by a gray 18-passenger van with a yellow “Vandal Ac-cess Shuttle” sign in in the win-dow. If nothing else, it makes it easier for passengers to figure out what they are getting on.

Getting jazzy outside the classroom

jesse hart | rawrThe Palouse Jazz Project, a band comprised of University of Idaho music faculty, played at One World Cafe Wednesday night in Moscow. The Palouse Jazz Project, estab-lished in 2006, performs standard jazz repertoire and original compositions as a sextet around the Northwest.

The Living Learning Communities transformed into different countries and even opened a stock market for a global block party Sunday evening.

“Part of the goal of the LLCs for us is to get the different buildings involved with each other and to do something fun that shows what the LLC’s have to offer,” Michelle Yeager, a resident assis-tant for the College of Natural Resourc-es LLC, said. “It’s a chance for people to learn about places other than America. Like maybe you didn’t get the chance to study abroad so maybe you can collect some of that knowledge through some of the other activities on campus.”

People who attended the Global Block Party received a passport at the 24-hour desk that provided details on which LLC was which country, to-gether with a space for a stamp from each country.

For example, the Gault LLC was Jamaica. When students visited each country, they could win paper slips that had the exports from each country. For instance, the paper export prize won from Gault was alcohol.

Completed passports and paper ex-ports could be traded in at the 24-hour desk for tickets into a prize drawing. Some of the potential prizes included a TV, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, vari-ous cooking supplies and two mystery boxes. Newly added to the party this year was an economy system, which made different exports of countries worth more at different times.

The economic system started at 7:30 p.m. and went until 8:30 p.m., with the value of exports changing approximately every 20 minutes. A good would change in price when a fictional war would break out between LLCs and cause a fictional shortage of that particular export. For instance, a war between Gault and another LLC would cause the ticket value of alcohol to increase for a set amount of time. This could make rum worth three tickets instead of one if it was traded in at the 24-hour desk in

that particular time slot.“So it’s kind of a way to get people

thinking of the value of different things and the reasons why prizes change on items,” Yeager said. “So it gives students a different way to look at the global economy.”

Students seemed to embrace the economic systems, with much shout-ing and communicating going on between groups in order to maximize ticket potential.

“The way I went about it is I kept everything that wasn’t worth three un-til the next time around so I got three

for all of my commodities at the end,” Amanda Eagle, UI senior, said.

Each LLC was decorated to look like the country they were representing, food from the country and games from the country. The Upham LLC was Italy, so Upham had Italy’s colors decorating the walls, an opportunity for students to win exports by playing bocce ball and carbonara for students to eat. Each country presented different food, decorations, and a game for students to enjoy.

“Japan had this one where you make your own origami ninja star,

then you have to throw them at balloons at the wall since you can’t actually have sharp objects. But that one was fun since you got to make your own ninja star,” Michelle Kissik, UI junior said.

The night ended at 9 p.m. when students gathered in a classroom by the 24-hour desk to see if they had won anything. After the winners were an-nounced, one mystery box was revealed to contain a ball of yarn while the other contained a camera.

The first of April is that day everyone says they’re going to be witty and play pranks on the world, but when the time actually comes they’re either too busy, too poor or lacking creative ideas. April Fools’ Day falls part way through the semester, and by that time everyone’s just ready for summer to start. But with six weeks left in the semester, many people could use a good laugh. April Fools’ pranks don’t have to be grandiose or original. Pranks should be fun, (relatively) safe and most importantly, unexpected. Here’s a few you might want to try when the time comes, but make sure your friends don’t see it com-ing or the fun will be ruined.

Hello Jell-OIt was funny on “The Of-

fice” and it’s funny in real life too. Take something your friend uses often and put it in Jell-O. To pull this off, choose your favorite flavor of Jell-O and prepare according to the box instructions. When the Jell-O is partially set, add your stolen object and allow the Jell-O to firm completely. It may take more than one packet of Jell-O powder, depending on the weight of your object. Once it’s done, leave it where your victim will find it and wait.

Hidden Water GunThis prank is best for

roommates. If you’re for-tunate enough to have a sprayer on your sink, use clear tape to hold down the lever. The next time they turn the sink on, they’ll get a spray in the face. Just don’t forget you did it and accidently prank yourself.

Holey WaterIf your friend still uses dis-

posable plastic water bottles, sneak one away and make

sure the lid is on tight and it is completely full. Use a small push pin to poke holes in the bottom. A little water will drip out when you do this, but the pressure will make it stop. When your victim is feeling thirsty, the water will leak out the bottom as soon as they remove the lid.

Munchie MadnessAnother trick best for

roommates — take their favorite box of munchies or cereal out of the cupboard remove the bag of goodies and cut out the bottom of the box. Place the empty box back in the cupboard and pour the contents of the bag directly

into the box. Close the lid and wait for the next time your victim is feeling hungry. Watch as the contents of their favorite snack end up all over the counter and floor.

Language BarrierChange the language on

your friends cell phone or Facebook. Just make sure you know how to change it back when they need it for some-thing important.

Te’o-ingPrank a stranger by asking

them to take a picture of you and your friend. Once you hand them the camera, put your arm around the empty

space next to you and say cheese. After they snap the picture, look at the photo and ask the stranger to please take another one. “My friend’s eyes are closed.”

Go big or go homeDress up as a bush and

sit in the busiest campus walkway. Spend the after-noon lunging at unsuspecting strangers. If a bush costume is hard to come by, simply spend the day lurking behind corners and scaring your friends and co-workers every chance you get.

Boise-native Youth Lagoon steals a spot on national charts

Youth Lagoon: “Wondrous Bughouse” (Fat Possum Records: March 5, 2013)

If the first album explored the transition between childhood and adolescence, Youth Lagoon’s second “Wondrous Bughouse” bridges the gap into early adulthood.

Though the Boise native ascribes no particular meaning to it, this album feels like Trevor Powers is channeling a more prevalent set of emotions. It’s almost existential in its sincerity to the listener and it hits home for all those twenty-somethings looking for meaning in their lives while still remaining powerfully universal. Emotive is a simple tag-word that seems applicable to anything and everything Youth Lagoon, and that is precisely what makes this album accessible.

Wondrous Bughouse is a modern-day Beatles’ “Magical Mystery Tour” but instead of finding its conductor donning an animal costume to take on the identity of a large blub-bery mammal, it finds him tinkering alone in his room. The electronic accompani-ment sounds like Powers is leading an orchestra of long-forgotten vintage toys. Whirrs and clicks comple-menting Power’s somewhat childlike falsetto and the plaintive synth movements particular to his type of low-fi, bedroom indie pop.

It gets better, deeper and more expansive every time you listen. An audi-tory everlasting gobstopper. Pay special attention to the tracks “Mute,” “Sleep Paraly-sis” and “Third Dystopia” but you are selling yourself short if you don’t listen to it in its entirety.

— Lindsay Stribling (Constructive Interference)
