“Ride” Cary Brothers This guy gets my “All-time favorite music artist” award with this song. If you’re craving more, he has three other CD’s that have the same acoustic-folk feeling.

“Until the Sunrise” Timeflies A talented duo that uses elements of pop, hip-hop, electro, dubstep and rock. It’s hard to keep from dancing.

“Boiling Water” Magnetic Man ft. Sam Frank I spent three hours watching these guys on YouTube after they per-formed at Coachella 2011. They have amazing lights and a good electronic/dubstep mix.

“Young Love” DJ Trademark No music library is com-plete without a few good party tunes. This mash-up won’t disappoint any elec-tronic music fan and is sure to pump up the volume.

“Take Everything” Greg Laswell This acoustic-singer/songwriter’s voice has the same consistency as Jonny Cash, and just released a new album Tuesday. Score.

“Greyhound” Swedish House Mafia This super-group consist-ing of Axwell, Sebastian In-grosso and Steve Angello combines some of the top electronic/house artists in the business with beats that never disappoint.

“Cough Syrup” Young the Giant This is a fun song with a catchy beat that any Indie-music-lover will enjoy.

“Eyes Wide Open” Gotye An artist with the recent hit “Somebody I Used to Know.” However, he has a lot of underappreciated tracks that the main-stream music ignores, including this one.

“Ordinary Day” Red This cover was originally sung by Duran Duran, but Red does an awe-some job capturing the emotion of the song

“Invincible” Machine Gun Kelly ft. Ester Dean I’m not a huge fan of R&B or rap, but I love when rap artists feature female voices in their songs, because it’s a refreshing change from constant rap.

amrah canul | rawrAlex Buck, left, and Laurali Calvert, from Jupiter Jane Traveling Café, serve up orders and make lemonade at Moscow Hemp Fest 2012. This year was Jupiter Jane’s sophomore effort at the festival.

The fact that Moscow Hempfest falls on Moms Week-end every year just might be a good thing.

Being able to attend Hemp-fest with her mom is Jade Crester-Evans’ favorite part about the festival.

“(My mom is) and old hip-pie and she’s very into, not necessarily drugs themselves, but the hemp products,” Evans

said. “And to be able to use hemp for clothing and other things that we don’t normally think about.”

While at Hempfest, Evans purchased a pair of crocheted hemp earrings from a booth ran by students from the University of Idaho.

At the booth they were selling crocheted bags, earrings and even clothing

made from hemp, which were personally made by the vendors of the booth.

“I go to Hempfest with my mom because it’s more about the actual hemp itself—not marijua-na—and actu-

ally trying to support grow-ing hemp instead of cotton,

etcetera, because it is such a versatile product,” she said.

Evans said she doesn’t think the government realizes how useful of a product hemp is because they have the wrong idea about it.

Cameron Olson, junior, said he thinks Hempfest is a good thing because there is so much negative connotation toward marijuana and hemp.

Once Olson looked deeper into the vendors for informa-tion, he realized how educat-ed each one is about the issue

of using hemp over other materials.

“(Using hemp is) almost cheaper than making stuff out of cotton and making paper out of trees,” Olson said.

Since 2006, Arlene Falcon has been in charge of organiz-ing Moscow Hempfest.

Before that, Falcon said different students from the UI campus ran the event.

Throwbackstyle

Ray Ban sunnies have staying power

Fashion trends fluctuate, but Ray Ban-style sunglasses have been a summer staple since their introduction in 1937, and the University of Idaho is no exception.

“Ray Bans are popular because (the knock-offs) are cheap, and it gives people a sense of individuality,” said Jake Ellis, junior history major.

Sunglasses come in all shapes, sizes and colors, and make for an easy conversa-tion starter.

Like many accessories, sun-glasses reflect personal style and are an easy way to express one’s self. Ellis said Ray Bans are a good choice for outdoor ac-tivities.

Ellis likes the classic look asso-ciated with Ray Ban-style sun-glasses and said he is a unique, casual individual.

“It’s hard to describe my style. I have a sense of indi-viduality, (and) I shop at the Goodwill because there are tons of options and you never know when you’re going to find something that fits per-fectly,” Ellis said.

To picture his style, you need to imagine someone who just goes off what is unconventional.

Katy Wright, a junior in art education, said Ray Bans are making a strong comeback because they have a timeless shape and huge appeal to the

accessory-buying market.“Ray Bans are classic, but I

feel like culture these days has always been receptive toward timeless products,” Wright said.

Wright is a very art-orient-ed person and says she has a very “chill” personal style.

“My style is casual, comfy, trendy and simply Katy. I feel like I’m different and so is my style, its original,” Wright said.

Junior journalism major Brady Sauvageau said Ray Ban-style sunglasses are just another trend that limits the expression of personal style.

“Throwbacks are fre-quently used by people who

can’t make up their own minds. I believe that the style of Ray Bans just happens to be the new trend,” Sauvageau said.

He said the trend will eventu-ally wear itself out.

“Because they are different than today’s norm they

appear to be original, (but) once everyone starts wearing them they’ll no longer have the appeal that they did when the style first came back,” Sauvageau said.

Sauvageau said Ray Bans seem to stay trendy because they are marketed well and there are cheap knock-offs produced, making them college-student accessible.

From Hollywood actors and actresses to UI students, Ray Bans have been a style staple for nearly 60 years.

It might be a good idea to gulp down some water before you read this.

Your blood is 70 percent water and almost every system in your body requires water to function. The reputed eight glasses per day isn’t always enough.

Peg Hamlett, fitness and wellness director for University of Idaho Campus Recreation, said the familiar 64-ounces guideline is outdated.

“‘Eight ounces is so old,” she said. “We never would say that to somebody because it came out of the 1950s.”

Hamlett said a person’s

water requirements depend on their activities, metabolism and other factors. It is key to think about water maintenance, not a set amount.

“You want to (replace) water as you lose water, and you want to drink your water before you become thirsty,” she said.

Candi Heimgartner, depart-ment of biological sciences in-structor, said people lose most of their water during exercise and urination. She said those who exercise often or strenu-ously and those who consume energy drinks deal with the most significant hydration issues. People who exercise a lot don’t always appreciate how much water they lose in sweat. The substances in en-

ergy drinks can both dehydrate you and unbalance the water concentrations in blood and tissues, thus making it harder to distribute your body’s avail-able water, she said.

Heimgartner said she tests students for water content, and she’s seen a positive hydra-tion trend among students during the last several years.

“I’ve primarily found that 90 to 95 percent of students are not dehydrated,” she said.

Abby McElligott is a senior in exercise science and health and works at the Student Rec-reation Center. She said she’s been a dancer since she was 3 years old and her instructors ingrained the importance of water into her early on.

“It’s incredibly important,” she said. “I teach several classes here and in the Memorial Gym, and it’s actually something that I stress at the beginning of each class (to) make sure you bring a water bottle (or) if you ever need to leave and get water, please do so.”

She said it’s crucial to drink water before, during and after exercise. The eight-8-ounce-glasses-per-day rule is a good guideline, she said, but she recommends an additional 7 ounces before, 5 to 10 during and 7 or more after a workout. McElligot said many people utilize other beverages and supplements in place of water.

“(I’ve seen it) especially with the male lifters who

have their protein shakes and Gatorade instead of carrying around water, and I’m sure that they assume that it’s like an equivalent because it’s a liquid,” she said.

McElligott said there’s noth-ing wrong with those supple-ments, but she suggests people drink water throughout the workout and imbibe the other beverage afterward.

Hamlett said fruit juice, Gatorade and soda are not adequate substitutes for water because your body works hard-er to break down the excessive sugars and acids.

She suggests tricks to stay-ing hydrated, such as using

Braids are growing in popularity, and for some students, they’ve become a necessity to every day life—especially after those all nighters. From runways to sports events, even for the walks to the University of Idaho Commons, braids are popping up ev-erywhere. Learn three popular braids now with this quick and easy tutorial. Getting ready for the day has never been so easy

“My mom could never French braid but I liked it so I practiced on my own hair and (on) my friends hair,” sophomore Sarah Ab-bot said. “Being in cheer and in a sorority has definitely helped me perfect the braid-ing art.”

Abbott braided freshman Kim Warbur-ton’s hair as part of Rawr’s guide to braids.

REVERSE FRENCH BRAIDStart with three strands. To do this

properly, separate a section from the front and split it into three pieces. Take the middle one and go over the side and grab a piece of hair, grab the middle and go over the other side and grab another piece. It can be described as “backwards-French braiding.”

“I think the braid is a lot tighter and it’s a lot cooler looking, especially if your just learning how to braid. When you braid out you can actually see the braid,” Abbott said.

WATERFALL BRAIDStart with three strands of hair. Separate a

section from the front and split it into three. Braiding a few times as you normally would makes it a lot easier when starting the water-fall section. Take the top piece and pull some hair in from the direction the braid is headed. The hair you pull in will make it bigger strand of hair and you will braid it in to the middle like a normal braid. Once you cross the lower strand pass the middle strand, drop your new lower strand. The piece you drop should be the bigger strand.

Then pick up a piece of hair towards the way you are braiding, and braid it towards the middle. Take an extra piece of hair into the top like before, and braid the top over the middle. Once you braid the bottom over the middle again, drop your new bottom piece, which again will be the piece from the top that you added in hair from. Then pick up a new section from the roots right next to where your braiding and keep going as above instructed. Continue for however long, as you like, whether it’s the whole head or just after a couple inches, that can be cute too.

The keys to this braid, like many, are to keep your hands close to your head and hold the strands of hair very tightly.

The waterfall braid can be used in the front of the hair as well as the back and is a simple and elegant braid to practice. When braiding towards the back of your hair with the waterfall, make sure you like the height of

the braid because it determines how it looks at the end in the front. Once you braid all the way to the back, braid a few times normally and clip. Repeat on the other side, making sure not to braid too tight. Cross the two braids over each other and pin into it to hold into place.

FISHTAIL BRAID“The fishtail braid is the easiest braid on

the planet Earth,” Abbot said.Take the hair down your back and hold

a middle strand. Make that middle strand whatever size you would like, but leave two big strands on the outside. You should have a small middle strand of hair and two outside big strands.

Take turns pulling one side to the inside and pinning with your thumb onto the main strand. Make sure you are pull-ing from the farthest out of each outside strand when you alternate and keep a steady grip on the middle strand that con-tinues to grow.

website roundup

Water, barley, hops and yeast — that’s all there is to beer. But that particular combi-nation, in the words of Captain Barbossa from “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “is more what you’d call ‘guidelines’ than actual rules.”

This philosophy rings true in a flavor-packed brew called “Midas Touch” from Dogfish Head Brewery in Milton, Dela-ware.

The folks at Dogfish Head live by throwing beer-brewing conventions out the window, taking America’s favorite after-work beverage and throwing a few curveballs in it.

Midas Touch starts off dif-ferent from other beers right off the bat, as muscat grape

juice is pumped into the brew before fermentation. The juice is noticeable in all phases of the drinking process, but it most present in the nose of the beer. It’s almost like enjoying a grown-up juice box.

The color of the beer is lighter and gives off a more golden glow than most from Dogfish Head brews, almost resembling a classic American pilsner in appearance. What will throw most drinkers though, is the flavor of this beer. One drink and you will think you’re drinking a rich ale or lager, but as I mentioned, the appearance will deceive you.

Organic honey, barley and saffron — yes, the spice — all contribute to the kicked-in-the-teeth feeling you will have after trying this beer.

Bottom line — this beer is way out there, but in the best possible way. It’s sweetness may discourage some from buying it twice, as may the price, but now that spring seems to be in full form here in Moscow, I can’t think of many better ways to enjoy the 70 degree sunshine than with this full-bodied brew in hand.

Flip flops and fist pumpsA guide to this summer’s music festivals

Chris Clark a University of Idaho audio engineering student said the best part of music festivals is the vol-ume of artists at a single venue. “I get to see 15 to 20 of my favorite bands, in one place, in one day,” Clark said. “(Vans) Warped Tour is in the middle of the summer, and it’s big enough that everyone plans for it. You can go and hang out, have fun, relax and listen to great music.” Ticket prices can be high, but divide the total cost by the number of bands you are going to see and they become incredibly economical. Here are a few to check out — they range from $12.50 to $400, and from 50 miles from Mos-cow to 2,500.

CALIFORNIAOutside LandsGolden Gate Park, San Fransisco, Calif.Aug. 10 to 12

The San Francisco Chronicle said the festival is more than a rock concert.

“It’s an all-encompassing concert — a miniature city that rises in the middle of the park that bustles with great local food, beautiful people and non-stop music from every imagin-able genre on about a half dozen stages,” The Chronicle said.

Samantha James Enea, UI freshman and biology major, said it was the best concert she’s been to.

“The overall vibe … was perfect. Everyone is relaxed and focused on having a good time,” Enea said.

Enea said tickets were pricey, but very worth it. Price: $225 general admission, $495 VIPLineup: for fans of City and Colour, Santigold and Metallica.Distance from UI: 897 miles, 16 hours 22 minutes

If you can find a way to Tennesse, Bonnaroo is a great musical festival.

“Bonnaroo was one of the best weekends of my life,” said Spyder Turco, an exercise science and health major.

Turco said music festivals are an

awesome way to make memories that last a lifetime.

“People don’t realize how great they (music festivals) are until they experience them. You have to go into it open minded.”Price: $259.50 general, $1399.50 2 VIPLineup: for fans of Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Yelawolf.

Distance from UI: approximately 2,300 miles

WASHINGTONSasquatch! Music FestivalGorge Ampitheatre, George, Wash.May 25 to 28

“It’s a really good experience,” said sophomore Stephanie Turner. “I

saw Macklemore, Skrillex, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and there were also a bunch of bands that I hadn’t heard of, which was fun.”

Rachel Livieratos, also a sopho-moresmore, said the location of the festival was incredible.

“triggers” like text messages or e-mail notifications to remind you to stop and take a sip. She said everyone needs a water bottle, and another way to maintain good hydra-tion is to personalize your container.

“(You) should find what you drink out of best,” Ham-lett said. “I always keep a big glass on my desk because I will drink twice as much water out of a glass than a bottle that I have to open up … Choose something that works for you, not just because it’s a good-looking, hip bottle.”

Heimgartner said several bodily processes can indicate dehydration. Urine should be clear, and little or no urination accompanied by a dark yellow color points to low water content. Signs of more significant dehydration include cramping and muscle weakness, dizziness and hazy cognition processes. She said the brain runs on sodium and potassium, which need a solution of water in which to move, and a deficiency of either nutrient hinders the brain’s capacity for electrical impulses.

Hamlett said other ways to tell whether you’re dehy-drated involve how chapped your lips are or whether you can pinch your skin and freely separate it from the muscle.

“Most people who go around here are usually slightly dehydrated,” she said.

Heimgartner said short of the lungs, water is essential throughout your body.

“There are 11 body systems — with the exception of the lungs themselves, every other system needs it,” she said.

“As a vender who was always attending it, I always look forward to it happening,” Falcon said. “Being passionate about what the Hempfest stands for, and as an experienced vender it goes to show that it was a good fit. I’m personally very passionate about the issue.”

The purpose of Hemp-fest is to educate and inform people on top-ics relating to industrial hemp and medical mari-juana. Education is the most important part of it, Falcon said. There is a lot of misinformation about the festival, which she finds as a great opportu-nity to teach people.

Falcon’s favorite part about Hempfest is see-ing the community get together, smiles and all.

“The people who attend enjoy it, and it’s a win-win all around. We were really lucky to have such great weather this year,” Falcon said. “And even if we don’t have good weather we still have a great time.”

In the past few years, Falcon has tried to make Hempfest more action and politically-oriented, not just to serve as an event for people to go to.

“A lot of the people who do attend it, both as vendors or as participants are interested in the what the message is about,” she said. “There are a lot of us who believe in ending prohibition.”
