Virgo 8/23 - 9/22Flow with the energy of the universe this week to smoothen your transition into the fall. Failing that, drink a lot of coffee. It will make all your move-ments smoother.

Libra9/23 - 10/22Owls can turn their heads 270 degrees. If you can’t do that, try to spin your body as you walk to make sure you don’t miss anything.

Scorpio10/23 - 11/21The goal of life isn’t to make a lot of money or the rock star lifestyle. But the village doesn’t need any more idiots, either.

Sagittarius11/22 - 12/21 Run wild and free but remember to pack clean underwear and watch for “land-mines.”

Capricorn12/22 – 1/19 Sometimes eating right is hard because the options are expensive. Sometimes eating right is easy because not eating people is cheap.

Aquarius1/20 – 2/18It isn’t always necessary to “kill the wabbit.” Decide this week will be duck season and see if your results are better. Whatever you do, be vewy vewy quiet.

Pisces2/19 - 3/20 A wise cartoon man once sang “under-water the fish don’t stink.” Be wary of cartoon men and foolhardy behaviors disguised as promising invitations.

Aries3/21 - 4/19 You’ll never get anywhere if you race the sun. Challenges are good but must be reasonable. Race Pluto. It isn’t a planet anyway.

Taurus4/20 – 5/20If you mess with the bull, beware the horns. If you cut off the horns, however, it’s bar-beque for everybody.

Gemini 5/21 – 6/20Don’t make mountains out of molehills or molehills out of mountains. Keep the geology of your life in balance and the volcano won’t explode and kill everyone.

Cancer 6/21 – 7/22Ask yourself what insight you’d give people if your life were a fortune cookie. Then remem-ber that the cookie must be broken before people can read the fortune.

Leo7/23-8/22Life can be difficult. If you can’t beat them—work out more often.

Sometimes I’m not in the mood for any particular genre of music. These are

the days I just want to sit down and hear some kickin’ music. It doesn’t matter the genre, artist, time period or anything else. Here is what I’m listening to these days. There’s no rhyme, reason or theme, I just like it.

“Ho Hey” by The LumineersThis song is upbeat, catchy and I just can’t stop listening to it. Check it out ASAP.

“Silhouettes” by AviciiAvicii makes me want to put on my dancey pants and stay up all night. Give it a listen if you’re in need of a fist-pump-ing, disco-style good time.

“1904” by The Tallest Man On EarthMakes me want to time-travel to the year 1904. Can I please? TMOE has a sweet twang but still manages to hit that Indie soft spot.

“We Will All Be Changed” by SerynAs the summer draws to a close there’s something about this song that just seems so right. “We can shape but can’t control these possibilities to grow.”

“Little Talks” by Of Monsters And MenOne of the best duets of the last five years, bar none. It’s sultry, catchy and everything in between. Listen to it, love it, share it. And go.

“Rivers and Roads” by The Head and the HeartBeautiful harmonies, beauti-ful lyrics, breathtaking chorus and a great instrumental backdrop. What more could you ask for?

“Happy Pills” by Norah JonesNorah Jones has her sassy pants on these days and it’s led to some incredible tracks. As always, Jones has one of the purest voices of all time.

The Horse ThievesMy favorite band of the year hails from Spokane. Give them a listen and you won’t regret it.

“Ghosts” by Laura MarlingThe first time I heard this song it was the track for a group ballet video I found on YouTube. It was one of those wonderful accidental discov-eries that I am now thrilled to pass on.

“Greenback Boogie” by Ima RobotThis is the theme song to one of my current favorite TV shows. If you haven’t watched Suits yet, you should. You should also listen to this song.

This recipe has been in the works, off and on, for five or six years. It started on a slow afternoon in high school — I think some-thing on the Food Net-work inspired me. The first few batches were not good. The oil was too hot, the breading too thick. Sometimes, an idea would hit me — or a tip from a cookbook or cooking show — and I would try it out. I kept the ones that worked and discarded the rest. Now, fried chicken is almost an art.

Ingredients2 Chicken breasts cut into cubes –

the smaller the better.2-3 Cups Flour! Cup Corn MealA few good dashes of Tony Chach-

ere’s Creole Seasoning3 Eggs3 Cups MilkSeveral shakes of Frank’s RedHot

Sauce

Note: you’ll also need a goodly amount of hot oil in a pan. A cup and a half or so of Crisco melted in a pan works pretty well. Vegetable oil is always an option, and I have had some success with peanut oil, though it is expensive. Olive oil will do in a pinch, but its smok-ing point is too low to be super effective.

How it works1. Combine the flour, corn meal and Tony’s seasoning in a large bowl. The corn meal makes the difference in the crispiness of the breading. The Tony’s

and Frank’s make the chicken a little spicy, which I like. You can substitute whatever spices you like best.

3. In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs and Frank’s together until everything is happily married.

4. Start by tossing the chicken in the flour mixture. It should make a nice base coat before you throw it in the milk. Let the chicken soak for a moment, and then put it back in the flour.

5. Once the breading is satisfactory, place the chicken pieces in the oil.

6. They should only take a few minutes per side. Small pieces of chicken work best because they cook quickly. Flip and allow the other side to cook for a couple of minutes before putting them on a paper towel covered plate to drain.

7. Judge doneness by the color of the breading. It should be a nice golden brown. Cut one of the larger pieces in two, checking for pink in the middle – pink free chicken is good to go.

8. Serve with sides of Sweet Baby Ray’s and ranch dressing. Make some mashed potatoes and green beans to go along with it and you’ve got a meal to im-press your mom. Or a girl.

Also tryThe recipe for finger steaks is es-

sentially the same. Most grocery stores sell stew meat that I cut into smaller pieces, but the breading and frying process are the same. Serve them with A1 – it’s amazing.

There are a lot of things wrong with the film Ladyhawke. The soundtrack is jarring and out of place with the setting, some of the acting is a little on the campy side and the produc-tion values are sometimes severely lacking. I won’t call this movie a guilty pleasure; I am shameless in my love for it — warts and all.

Set in 12th century Eu-rope, the film is the story of a thief named Philippe Gaston (Matthew Broder-ick) and his adventures after escaping the dungeons in the city of Aquila.

He inadvertently sets off a chain of events threatening to destroy two people he meets on the road.

Rutger Hauer plays Captain Na-varre, Michelle Pfeiffer plays Lady Isabeau. The two lovers had a curse placed upon them by the jealous and corrupt Bishop of Aquila: at night, Na-varre is transformed into a wolf, while by day Isabeau becomes a hawk. Much of the movie is about Navarre’s quest to kill the Bishop.

As a hero, Captain Navarre leaves much to be desired. He is vain, proud, stubborn and practically suicidal — and that is exactly what makes him so compelling. Matthew Broderick pulls off an excellent performance as Philippe, managing to be quick witted and cheeky while still being a likeable human.

The dialogue in this movie is noth-

ing short of genius. It walks a fine line between crushingly serious and utterly flippant.

Filmed on location in Italy, the scenery is as much a charac-ter as any. There are breathtak-ing backdrops in the Alps, ruined castles and sweeping views of the countryside. Given that the movie was made in 1985, the special effects still hold up. The directors manage to accomplish sword fights, chases and even magic without the film degener-ating into a total camp-fast.

If anything has dated the movie, it is surely the soundtrack. Composer Andrew Powell took a huge chance with the score, combining period music with contemporary pro-gressive rock. It screams 1980s so hard that is actually a little embarrassing.

Truth be told, the music is prob-ably one of my favorite things about the movie. So many movies stick to only period music, so it is actually kind of refreshing to see something that breaks with the standard and dares to be unique.

As a story, Ladyhawke scratches all the right itches. It’s a love story. It’s an adventure. It’s a political dialogue on the corruption of the medieval church. It’s got magic and swordfights, comedy and tragedy, compelling characters, brilliant dialogue and a beautiful set-ting. Ultimately, Ladyhawke is truly a one-of-a-kind movie.

While buying an entirely new ward-robe every season is fun, it isn’t fiscally responsible. Staple garments, which are wardrobe items that can transition from season to season and year to year without looking dated or worn, can help alleviate the necessity of buying all-new clothing every

three months. There are several things you need to keep in mind when purchasing wardrobe staples:

Materials: In order for clothing and accessories to last, they must be made of high quality, durable materials. Do your research beforehand. All cotton, for example, is not made alike. Heidi Stea-rns, Interior Designer and bedding buyer at The Picket Fence in Ketchum, Idaho, says that the best kinds of cotton are known as long staple, which means that the individual cotton fibers are lengthy. Egyptian Cotton and Pima Cotton are both examples of cotton varieties that produce long-staple fibers.

Construction: Even the highest quality materials will not hold up if they are turned into poorly constructed gar-ments. When inspecting garments for quality construction, Stearns said to look for small, even stitches because they are more likely to hold up than larger, looser stitching. Also, look for labor intensive detailing, which signals that the creators of the garment care about the garment lasting.

Design: “A staple garment is a piece that has lasted a lifetime. It is something that you can wear to a birthday party this year and another event five years from now and look just as good,“ said John Crotty, a manager at the J. Crew Collec-tion store in Miami, Fla. This means classic designs and neutral colors. Look for black, jewel tones or natural colors.

Wearability: To make sure you will get a lot of wear out of a garment, try to estimate the cost per wear of an item. For example, a $200 pair of bright pink flared jeans that you can only wear for one season without looking passé might have a cost per wear of $20. A $200 pair of dark wash skinny jeans that you can wear four times a week until they wear out might cost less than one dollar per wear.

Janky: something that is broken, run-down, low quality, substandard or of questionable aesthetic.

Example: Jimmy Federline showed up to class in the jankiest parachute pants and platform sneakers I have ever seen.

The Palouse isn’t widely known as a fashion hotspot, but Kate Mills, Mollie Wona-cott, and Crystal Truong are out to change that. The trio, who are all clothing, textiles and design majors, began the Body Con club during the spring of 2012, UI junior Truong said. All three serve as presi-dents of the club.

“We wanted to bring creative students together who have an!appreciation!for fashion, art, event planning, photography, public relations, and journalism as well!recog-nizing!the work of those!affili-ated,” Truong said.

Body Con aims to help students build their creative portfolios by helping them plan events, shows and other goings-on, which will all be student-run.

Truong said the club tries to establish real world simu-lations and career building opportunities.

She said she hopes the club will put on fashion shows, tutorials, photo shoots, online publications and meet industry professionals.!

“The girls and I wanted to leave our mark on U of I while building our portfolios and helping other students build theirs,” Mills, UI senior, said. “We want to bring together fabulous people with!apprecia-tion!for art and fashion.”

Currently the group has 25 prospective members and hopes to meet at least once a month starting this Tuesday.!

The Yarn Underground and Deadbeat Records have paral-leled each other for the past two years.

“It’s pretty cool because we both opened at the same time—within a month of each other in 2010,” Brandon Rowley, co-owner of the record store, said.

Rowley originally wanted the lower rental space for the record store, but the women of The Yarn Underground got the space before them. Shortly after, the upper rental space opened.

The Yarn Underground just relocated. It is now a block away from the Friendship Square bus stop.

For Deadbeat, this expansion

means they will double in retail space, which gives them the op-portunity to sell new inventory.

“We’re really interested in bringing in T-shirts and posters and different accessories that compliment a record store but aren’t actually music in it of itself,” Rowley said. “Ever since day one we keep seeking out more distributers, different genres of music, trying to get the hottest new things.”

Rowley said they also plan to dedicate some space for movies and tapes, which are currently overflowing.

“The women who are run-ning The Yarn Underground put a lot of work into make the downstairs look nice,” Rowley said.

He said they do not plan to

do any remodeling. For the next two weeks,

Deadbeat will use the basement for building CD and record bins.

Shelly Stone said she opened The Yarn Underground because Moscow needed a yarn store af-ter The Needle Nook and Quilt Something closed.

Stone and her co-owner Marissa Gibbler know many farmers in the area with sheep and alpaca, but they don’t have anywhere to sell the wool.

“We have products you won’t find anywhere else across the country. There are very unique things in here so we were excited about that aspect of it—being able to provide a service for the customers but also for people around here,” Stone said.

With the new amount of space, Stone said they plan to stock more “bulkies” for the Fall, as well as some small mills that are American-made.

“I just don’t like conven-tional processing. You’ll find things made in Peru, but actu-ally the fiber will come from China,” Stone said. “It will say it was made in Peru but really it was only spun in Peru and then shipped all over the place. We’re really trying to help cut down on that.”

Stone also owns the Palouse Yarn Company and dyes her own yarn, which is sold in her store.

The Yarn Underground has about 30 consigners, half of them own sheep or alpaca. They also work with a yak

farmer, people who hand spin yarn, and even a woman who makes greeting cards. Roughly three times a month, The Yarn Underground will hold knit-ting, crocheting and spinning classes for all levels. Stone and Gibbler currently do most of the teaching, but with a bigger space they plan to bring in some “quality” teachers, ac-cording to Stone.

They like to keep things affordable by buying “seconds” from companies like Brown Sheep.

“We buy their seconds that are off color or streaky or something. It’s high quality yarn, but the color is a little funky,” Stone said.
