Eating snacks while studying doesn’t help much. You tend to focus more on the food than the materials you’re studying. Substitute snacks with gum.

It helps you to concentrate better.

Sagittarius 11/22 - 12/21

You deserve more sleep because you’ve worked hard already. You need to refresh your body and brain—consider a bike ride or a walk on Latah trail sometime before the midterm.

Capricorn 12/22 - 1/19

Studying alone is your favorite thing to do, but you get nervous and panic most of the time. Take a little break from studying alone. Talk to your classmates and make a study group to prepare the midterm.

Aquarius 1/20 - 2/18

Procrastination is your problem. You have the brain and encouragement to do great in school, but you always

postpone your assignments for one reason or another. You know you want to nail the midterm, so try to make a priority list to help manage your time.

Pisces 2/19 - 3/20

You always get distracted easily either by your boyfriend or girlfriend, friends or family. Take a step back and focus on yourself for once. Remember midterms are also a big deal.

Aries 3/21 - 4/19

You tend to listen to music while studying. Sometimes you don’t finish studying and end up doing something else. Try listening to other genres that might help you focus better.

Taurus 4/20 - 5/20

You know you’re smart and good at some classes. Don’t be too confident about midterms because you still need to study the right materials to get good grades.

This will be challenging, but try not to use your phone while studying for at least an hour a day.

“Sensual vocal jazz” This is off of her funk album “Radio Music Society,” which boosted her into the mainstream music community with its soulful compositions and groovy baselines. In 2011, Spalding won a Grammy for Best New Artist, the only jazz musician to receive such an honor.

She even beat out Justin Bieber, Florence and the Machine and Mumford and Sons for the award. So yeah, you could say she’s amazing.

“Come to My Door” by Jose James This is a wonderful song to get up and move your hips to.

James’s smooth voice with a tight band makes for a great

slow dance song. The song does get repetitive at times, but don’t worry, it doesn’t ruin the song. I like to think of James’s albums as 21st century baby making music.

“Real Good Hands” by Gregory Porter Porter is one of the most exciting up and coming jazz artists in the industry today.

The Huffington Post has called the former D1 linebacker “the brilliant new voice of jazz.” And this recording is a great example of why he is receiving such high praise. This song is off of his sophomore album “Be Good.”

Spinach omelette nurainy darono crumbs One morning, I was making breakfast and I was half asleep.

Then, I asked myself: Why did I never put spinach on my omelette? Because I usually only use spinach in my soups, so this was my first time making a spinach omelette. It turned out pretty darn good.

It was a quick and easy meal that everyone can make in the morning. Remember, breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it usually determines your mood.

ay d i r f ids o t fac

A day for celebrating your body

The plastic ornamental end on either side of a shoelace is called an aglet. nurainy darono rawr

About 20 percent of the earths land is made up of desert, and the world’s largest desert is the Sahara located in North Africa.

Young adults understand cultural idea of a perfect body since they are constantly exposed to it through contemporary media.

Love Your Body Day is a campaign to raise awareness and educate college students about the effects of body image in the media.

The University of Idaho Women’s Center will host Love Your Body Day Wednesday, Oct. 16 on the UI campus.

UI Women’s Center Director Lysa Salsbury said the message of Love Your Body Day is promoting acceptance and celebration of all body types.

“People are increasingly media literate,” Salsbury said. “Even though we know we’re aware, we still judge ourselves by those industries media standard. Love Your

Body Day provides an opportunity for students to engage in education and activism around this issue.”

Love Your Body Day started in 1997 by a national organization for women. Salsbury said they started it as an awareness campaign to educate girls and young women about the harmful effects of the way that women are portrayed in the media.

“Young girls and young women are often enforced to feel like they need to conform their appearance and their body standard into a very narrow definition of what the society considers beautiful,” she said. “You know—tall, thin, large breasts, small hips and long legs.”

Salsbury said Love Your Body Day is an opportunity for women and men to stand up and speak out that it is not right to have a Western

defined idea of what beauty looks like.

“Because beauty comes from all in different shapes, different colors, heights, everything,” Salsbury said.

Love Your Body Day at UI is run by the Body Revolution, a one-credit internship program through the Department of Sociology and Anthropology hosted by the Women’s Center. In the previous years, Body Revolution celebrated Love Your Body Day by hosting events like “Scale Smashing” and “Projection.”

Virginia Solan, the coordinator of Violence Prevention Programs said she supports the message that Love Your Body Day is trying to persuade.

“Everybody needs to hear the message that their body is unique,” Solan said. “So I just love that messagethat our body is awesome and we don’t have to be so hard on ourselves trying to be perfect.”

She said at least 10 students she has worked with told her they have eating disorders.

This is usually something that people keep secret from others, and Solan said this is a pretty big problem on the UI campus.

“I think it’s a very powerful message,” Solan said. “I just want students to see it as what it is, which is just simply saying, ‘Hey, love your body, you know it’s your body. It gives you life, so honor it and don’t be so hard on it—feels like you have to be perfect but you don’t. Nobody is.’”

Salsbury said Body Revolution and the Women’s Center are still working on this year’s Love Your Body Day project.

She said for UI students to look for the Love Your Body Day activities on Wednesday, Oct. 16 around campus.

Learn some of these skills to prepare for midterms, and your fear will melt away chin-lun hsu rawr

S

ome students have to burn the midnight oil during the week and might still do poorly on their midterm exams. However, it may be beneficial to think of midterms exams like a video game: you spend time studying for them, you collect the right answers, and you remain positive throughout the week until you finally defeat them. To win over midterm tests the first step is to learn how to prepare for it.

Read the syllabus For most students, the syllabus is just a piece of useless paper in the folder. For the sake of the midterm, read back through it carefully because it might not be as useless as you think.

The syllabus gives you some ideas on what your professor or instructor is expecting and it should tell you what percentage the midterm exam counts toward the semester grade, which implies how much effort you need to devote for the midterm.

In addition, some professors might list the topics that were covered in class up till the midterm directly on the syllabus. So, reading the syllabus can never hurt.

Schedule study time You can tell the people with dark circles under their eyes are in one of two situations—they partied too much the night before or they stayed up studying into the late hours of the night.

In order to avoid having dark circles on your face, carefully write

down your study plan two weeks before the midterm.

Try to study a little bit every day because you don’t want to wait till the last minute and find out there is too much material to study.

Also, two subjects are enough to study for one day because you want to stay positive, not exhaust yourself.

Ask questions Check the professors’ office hours and go ask any questions you may have—as many as you can.

This is a great way to not only help you prepare for the midterm, but also show professors you are putting in the extra effort to get a good grade.

Before you visit professors or instructors, think about what kind of questions you are going to ask ahead of time. If the answers can be easily found in the textbook, you don’t want to give professors the idea you came to see them without studying beforehand. So study first and ask them the questions you couldn’t find

in the books or notes.

Study hard, play hard Studying for midterms doesn’t mean you cannot have fun or relax for a while. Don’t push yourself too hard.

Try this: after studying for one subject, take an hour break—watch an episode of your favorite TV show, play basketball, chat with friends, etc.

After the break, get back to the desk, review what you just studied an hour ago and then move on to the next subject.

Find a good study place Do not belittle the importance of a good study space. The library is a good place to study, but it is not for everyone.

Some people cannot study while it is too quiet, especially with no sounds around them at all. Yet, some can be easily distracted by any little noise. So find the best place to study that fits your needs, a place that will not hinder you from studying efficiently.

Compare notes with your classmates It’s not asking you to be a spy. The point here is to help you keep up with the study schedule and make sure you know all the material.

It is not good to fall far behind your classmates because then you are most likely falling behind in the class.

So ask your classmates what they have studied so far, and always keep yourself alert.

Stay healthy You could catch a cold any other time of the year, but never for midterm or finals weeks.

It is understandable that junk food is comforting when midterm pressures arrive, but don’t forget to eat some vegetables and fruits for healthy nutrition.

Stay away from alcohol. It will only harm your brain when you need it the most for midterms.

Renowned jazz artists John (left) and Gerald Clayton perform a two-song set live for KUOI radio on Oct. 1. The father-son duo performed that night at the UI music building.

Clayton collaboration ryan tarinelli rawr

John Clayton, world-famous bass player and artistic director of the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival, had reserved studio time to record the first installment of a new album series back in 2007. But he had a problem.

“I wanted to bring in a piano player who ended up being ill and stranded in a hospital in Japan,” Clayton said.

Clayton did not want to waste the studio time he had reserved, so he called another piano player he had worked with before — his son Gerald.

“Gerald said ‘sure,’ and came in the second day and recorded,” John Clayton said. “Basically we recorded the CD that you hear in one day.”

John and Gerald Clayton performed at the University of Idaho Oct. 1 as a part of the Auditorium Chamber Music Series.

The father-son duo played many songs off of their new album “Parlor Series” during the concert, along with a classical piano and cello piece.

John Clayton said recording with his son was natural because they have been playing together for so long.

“Its something we’ve been doing for a while, playing duo gigs, and building some repertoire,” Gerald Clayton said.

“So going in the studio was just sort of a casual experience.”

Gerald Clayton said he aims to achieve musical honesty and integrity whenever he plays, regardless of the ensemble or genre. He said classical piano is beneficial for developing technical skills on the piano, however he approaches jazz and classical genres with the same “head space,” and doesn’t like to put labels on his music.

John Clayton said when artists label themselves to one genre they prevent

themselves from exploring other musical areas and following their sound.

John Clayton said he came up with the idea for the “Parlor Series” at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Fest when he spoke with legendary piano player Hank Jones after a concert. He said this album is supposed to make the listener feel as if they are listening to music with friends in his parlor.

Both Claytons said they find themselves with busy schedules throughout the year.

Gerald Clayton just released his third solo album, “Life Forum,” on Concord Records, which features trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire and vocalist Gretchen Parlato. Gerald Clayton said he will spend most of his time touring with the Ben Wendel Quartet, the Clayton Brothers Quintet and his own trio.

John Clayton said he will be busy

mixing a new Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra album, as well as writing new big band arrangements for the Columbus Jazz Orchestra. He said he will also be touring with the Clayton Brothers Quintet and preparing for Jazz Fest.

John Clayton said future “Parlor Series” albums will feature other renounced jazz pianists, including the late Mulgrew Miller and Hank Jones.

Gerald Clayton said he listens to all types of music, but has been “obsessively” listening to Cuban jazz pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba.

John Clayton said he is introduced to new music through his son, however still has a strong love of classic jazz recordings from McCoy Tyner and Ahmad Jamal.

An old-world coffeehouse Bucer’s: a comfortable place to study during the week, a lively place to hang out during the weekend alexia neal rawr The hanging lights are dimmed, the old brick walls are filled with shelves of ancient books, classical music is playing and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee permeates the air. Whether looking for a quiet place to study or a place to meet friends for live music, Bucer’s Coffeehouse Pub on Main Street is one of Moscow’s great hang-out spots.

Owner Pat Greenfield said she moved to Moscow from Lewiston and opened Bucer’s 14 years ago in hopes of catering to a better coffee community. She said Bucer’s is unique because it is the only coffeehouse in the region roasting it’s own coffee.

Shannon Quinn, a junior at the University of Idaho, said she goes to Bucer’s at least once a week to either study or meet with friends.

“I love the whole atmosphere-ambiance of Bucer’s,” Quinn said. “It’s really cozy, especially in the wintertime. It’s warm and comfortable, but it can also be a lively environment too. The atmosphere is what gets me.”

Although Bucer’s is a relaxing place to pass time and study during the week, the nightlife during the weekend is one of excitement.

Bucer’s has live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. Thursday nights are jazz nights, and there are often UI professors performing. The shows have no cover-charge and are open to all ages. Greenfield said Moscow is a pipeline for good musicians.

“It’s been so fun to promote the regional artists,” she said.

Greenfield said the coffeehouse pub features all types

of music including jazz, blues, americana, indie, folk, rock and many other singer-songwriters.

“One time, I went to a show and people from WSU came, and everyone was talking and meeting new people, listening to music and drinking coffee,” Quinn said. “It was a nice scene.”

Bucer’s Coffeehouse Pub has over 2,000 likes on Facebook— their main forms of communication with their customers. Weekly updates inform customers of upcoming events and who will be playing at the weekend shows.

Facebook updates also inform customers on new arrivals and specials. One of the most recent posts was that the fresh-pressed cider is now available, which appeared to be highly anticipated.

Tyler Antkowiak, a barista at Bucer’s, said he loves his job because the employees work together in a stress-free environment.

“It’s a great community to work in,” Antkowiak said. “Everyone who works here is here because they like the job, so it’s a great work environment.

Even when it’s busy, it’s not stressful, because everybody is here to help.”

Antkowiak said it is a point of pride for him to learn as many of the customer’s names as he can, but especially the regulars. He said most of the employees learn customer’s names, as well.

“Bucer’s is an old-world coffeehouse pub,” he said. “We have great coffee, great food, great beer. It’s a great place to study during the week and a great place to hang out during the weekend.”

FASHION FORWARD

Fall fashion must-haves New seasons bring new styles and looks ariana tobe rawr Falling leaves, brisk air and shorter days are all signs that autumn is upon us. To some people, this means sweatpants and Ugg boots every day, but to others it means a time to explore fall fashion.

There are endless possibilities with layering articles of clothing to keep out the cold, or embracing the rich colors in nature that the season change brings. Fall 2013 has a few trends in particular that are sure to turn heads.

Faux leather is the epitome of edginess. It could present its wearer with an exterior that nobody would want to mess with, or it could also be extremely feminine.Some people are hesitant when it comes to faux leather, so a great starting point would be pants or leggings tucked into a pair of combat boots with a fierce top to match. Try a skirt or a simple top made from this material for a more womanly approach.

Clovis Dawson, a University of Idaho student, said combat boots can go with a variety of things.

“Fall seems to be a more edgy time of year and they automatically seem to give that edge,” Dawson said.

Leopard print has made a surprising jump to the top of the “must-haves” list. This is a print that can easily be worn in the wrong way, so use it in moderation. It is bold, but if it is worn in a tasteful manor it can be classy and subtle.

Depending on personal

style, wearers may feel comfortable making a statement with their leopard print. Others may feel more comfortable with just accents of leopard.

A great way to showcase this pattern is with accessories.

Leopard print shoes or a clutch purse gives a nice pop of interest any outfit. Along with leopard, camo print is another pattern that has taken the fashion world by storm.

Erika Iiams, a professor at the UI School of Family and Consumer Sciences in the Clothing, Textiles, and Design said bold prints are popular this fall.

“We will see a continued use of innovative and technical fabrics,” Iiams said. “New printing techniques are being developed and we will see them applied in big bold colors.”

This fall, accessorizing is one of the go-to ways to make a statement.

Chunky gold jewelry is the perfect way to do so. A chain link gold necklace looks chic and elegant on anyone. A couple options when it comes to wearing gold chains are big and chunky or multiple smaller chains of different lengths layered. Either way, this accessory choice will spice up any outfit, day or night.

Make the UI campus your runway and express your sense of style while exploring others’.

This fall season is ideal for stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new looks. The edgy appearance isn’t for everyone, but you are sure to be pleasantly surprised with what you might find.

Cheesecake Dip

The skinny on cheesecake: claire whitley | rawr

claire whitley rawr Cheesecake is a well-known dessert, especially for its fat content. However, cheesecake is not all bad health-wise.

University of Idaho Dietician Marissa Rudley said that cheesecake is a meal by itself because of the calorie count and fat content.

“After a large meal, cheesecake is probably not the light, fruit focused dessert that you want,” Rudley said.

However, there are ways to lessen the fat content, she said.

The first problem with cheesecake is portion sizing, Rudley said.

“A small piece turns into a wedge and then you end up with a Cheesecake Factory slice,” she said.

Rudley said she cooks cheesecake in muffin tins in order to make the actual cakes smaller. She uses a Nilla Wafer as the crust for these cheesecakes. “(The small cheesecakes) are nice to have at parties and holiday dinners,” Rudley said.

She said in order to make

the dessert lighter, cream cheese can substituted for slim Ricotta to lower the fat content by almost one-third or even use a lighter version of cream cheese known as Neufchatel.

Another alternative to make cheesecake less heavy and calorie dense is to make a crust-less cheesecake, according to Rudley. Making a crust-less cheesecake gets rid of the extremely fat packed graham cracker crust. While the cheesecake cooks, it forms a natural film around the outside, Rudley said.

Cheesecake is a delicious dessert that many people feel guilty about eating, but there are plenty of ways to make it a lighter, relatively healthier dessert.

“Have a light dinner if you are going to have cheesecake,” Rudley said.

A few of the variations of cheesecake include:

New York cheesecake The New York cheesecake is the typical all-American cheesecake. This cheesecake is made mostly with heavy

cream and sour cream.

It is high in fat and leaves plenty of room for variations, including replacing the heavier cream cheese with a lighter variety. A home cook can even replace a few bricks of cream cheese with pumpkin in order to make a seasonal cheesecake that is lighter than a typical cheesecake.

Philadelphia cheesecake The Philadelphia cheesecake is the less-dense cousin to the New York cheesecake. It is richer in flavor and does not have any sour cream or heavy cream, just straight cream cheese.

Cheesecake dip It has all the taste of cheesecake, but less time and money. Whip up some reduced fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt, an excellent source of protein, with some sugar and it is done. The dippers can be any fresh fruit, cookies or graham crackers. Make it for a party and have a bunch of friends bring over different fruits and cookies.

Students of African Student Association perform at the 2012 Africa Night.

The event will be hosted at 5 p.m. on Oct. 12 this year in the SUB ballroom.

Tickets are $10.

Bringing a bit of Africa African Students Association will host Africa Night Oct. 5 to educate students, community iris alatorre rawr Every year the African Students Association hosts an event to showcase their African culture by educating and entertaining.

Africa Night will be taking place at 5 p.m. Oct. 12 in the SUB ballroom. Tickets are $10 and are being offered at a discounted price to families.

“Africa Night is a annual event that African Students on

campus organize. Our aim is to educate, entertain and then make people in the Palouse get to know a lot about Africa,” said Ebeuezer Jones-Nensah, ASA president.

This year they will be having groups perform dances to traditional music from Africa.

They will also have African spoken word artists and will have different kinds of African foods for everyone to try.

Jones said that Africa night is an event that they have been putting on for the past eight years.

“What we try to do is just bring a bit of Africa from where we come from to the Palouse,” said Yvonne Nyavor,

ASA secretary. “It’s a great opportunity for us, being here, to be able to share our culture as international students with the rest of the members of the community.”

Nyavor and Jones are both natives from Ghana.

Nyavor said that she realizes that not everyone can afford to go all the way to Africa just to experience it all so Africa night is just a small way of having people experience how they live and do certain things differently in Africa.

“The main reason we hold Africa Night every year is because we want to remind ourselves of our African heritage,

our culture, our discipline,” Jones said. “The second reason has always been to help the Palouse see what Africa is all about. To let people know our taste, style and way of doing things in Africa.”

Nyavor said that last year’s Africa night had over 400 guests.

“To me, Africa Night is a time to educate my friends, it’s a time to let everyone who knows me on campus where I come from, how passionate I am about my heritage and what it is to be an African,” Jones said. “It gives me time to define myself and let people know what I believe in and how far I have come.”

Nyavor said that to her, Africa Night is a way for her to show who she is amongst the welcoming community she is in.

“This year our theme is Africa Yangu which means My Africa in Swahili and so this year our main focus is going to be trying to get people to see Africa through our eyes and not just through the eyes of the media or through the eyes of someone who went there and came back but through our eyes because we come from there, we grew up there,” Nyavor said. “Basically we are Africa.”
