Quit whining over your breakup, that person wasn’t right for you anyway. Focus on schoolwork and moving on. Put aside your emotional tendencies and remember you have bigger things ahead to worry about.

Your fiery personality may get you places most of the time, but a situation may arise this weekend when it would be wise to dial it back. Remember that they’re humans with fragile egos, just like you.

Taurus

4/20 - 5/20

Big decisions are ahead of you, and probably causing a lot of anxiety. Break out your best bottle of wine (or soda, depending on your age), cook a gourmet meal, kick back with a movie and forget about it all for a while. Clearing your mind may be the best favor you can do yourself.

Libra

9/23 - 10/22

People tend to misunderstand you, so take time to explain yourself during a disagreement that may arise this week. Seriously, people don’t get you most of the time. Work on that.

Stop straddling the fence between decisions and just pick one. Avoid frustrations between yourself and those closest to you by making a choice and sticking with it.

Cancer

Scorpio

6/21 -7/22

You can’t run from your problems forever, so do some soulsearching and don’t be ashamed to ask for advice. Pretty soon it will all explode if you don’t deal with your baggage. Dealing with a problem one step at a time is easier than a mess of built-up emotions, and let’s be honest — your friends will appreciate it, too.

Leo

7/23 - 8/22

Let someone else take the spotlight during an upcoming social event. Nobody likes an attention hog, and they’ve been very patient with you so far. Let your bubbly personality show in other ways.

Virgo

8/23 - 9/22

Your specialty is fun, but devote this weekend to getting yourself organized for the next few weeks. Party time can wait, and it will make the time for play more fun when it comes around.

10/23 - 11/21

Skip the dramatics and keep calm during this rough patch. The only person you are responsible for is yourself, so let others sort through issues on their own.

You’ve got enough to worry about and you can’t save everyone.

Sagittarius

11/22 - 12/21

Give yourself some credit and stop dwelling on every mistake you make. You work hard enough to give yourself a break every once in a while. Stress is bad for your skin anyway.

Capricorn

12/22 - 1/19

Work may be stressful right now, but you usually have minimal trouble getting through it.

Even if everyone around you is falling apart — focus on yourself.

Your penchant for being overlycritical of others won’t help.

Zombies roam Moscow streets rhiannon rinas rawr

The zombie apocalypse will hit Moscow streets tomorrow as the brain-eaters roam the town for charity. Anyone is welcome to participate Saturday in Moscow’s second annual Zombie Walk hosted by Zombie Savant Entertainment and Safari Pearl.

“The basic idea is that everyone dresses up like a zombie, meets at Friendship Square at 7 p.m. and walks around town,” said Jesse Cramer, member of Zombie Savant Entertainment.

Cramer said an interview booth would be set up for zombie characters. “(The) zombie characters get interviewed on how they become zombies, favorite foods and so on,” Cramer said.

There will also be a makeup booth set up in Friendship Square at 5 p.m. Students from the University of Idaho theatre department and others will get people zombie-ready, Cramer said. They are asking for $5 or that participants bring their own make-up.

Cramer and Chris Crozier, member of Zombie Savant

Entertainment, ask that participants bring non-perishable foods for donation to the Milestone Food Bank.

“Milestone Food Bank helps tons of families, (they) help people all over Moscow- Pullman,” Cramer said. “People are hungry. It’s a tough time.

I’ve used them myself when I couldn’t afford food.”

It’s a hard time economically and the food banks are feeling it as well, Crozier said.

Kathy Sprague, owner of Safari Pearl said giving back is something that everyone can do.

“Understanding that … helping other people and really building community is critical, especially in a college town where people aren’t here for very long,” Sprague said.

Sprague said she doesn’t know why zombies are such a craze.

“Twenty years ago it was penguins and cows, now it’s zombies,” Sprague said. “Some character or creature becomes iconic for awhile and you see them all over the place and right now it’s zombies’ turn.”

The goal of the event is obtain food for the Milestone Food Bank and to have a fun

and goofy time, Cramer said. He said to remember to keep Moscow’s streets as clean as possible and not to attack the crowd.

Crozier said anything is considered appropriate attire because all zombies were once living humans.

“Generally speaking you’ll want to wear clothes that you don’t really use anymore because they’ll get stained and maybe ripped,” Cramer said.

“You could even wear a three piece suit like you came straight from the morgue. There are tons of possibilities.”

Zombies have become a major obsession for some people and Cramer and Crozier both said it has become a personal obsession for them.

“Zombie movies are a big cult attraction.

It’s easy to indentify with the way zombie movies are set. Also the blood and gore is so much fun,” Crozier said.

“Currently I enjoy contemplating the idea of the plane as a sensitive film such as that used in analog cameras onto which images are formed,” Alessandrini said.

This idea is where “As the Camera Sees It” got its name. The idea for the use of a camera to capture subjects penetrating or traversing the space came to her during Alessandrini’s 2004 project with Mannery and Jack Shaw Productions called “Untitled.”

She said, “I was able to capture with the camera a woman’s hands as she moved them rapidly back and forth in and out of the plane.

John Kiser and his musical amigos bethany breeze rawr

John Kiser is the one with blue hair. He marches five lines from the front of the University of Idaho Vandal marching band with a Mellophone — the marching version of a French horn.

Kiser said he is not afraid to dance to his favorite song, Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance,” in front of thousands of UI students and fans.

“Honestly, it’s fun to do, everyone likes to dance. If we didn’t do it, it’d be like BSU — boring,” Kiser said.

Kiser is one of about 200 students who put in hours of time and energy to entertain homecoming crowds.

“We’re making sure that the school has constant spirit,” he said. “As the band, it’s our job to make sure everyone is excited and happy to be there. We sort of set the vibes.”

Today the entire ensemble will participate in a ‘serpentine,’ snaking their way down through campus beginning at the presidents’ house and ending at the Kibbie Dome parking lot.

“So look out for us — we shouldn’t be too hard to miss,” Kiser said.

On Saturday the students will be up at 7 a.m. to participate in the Homecoming Parade downtown, marching from Rosauer’s along Main Street and afterward stopping for a quick lunch at the Lionel Hampton School of Music, and then head to pre-game tailgating.

“It’s our biggest weekend, there are times where you’re on your feet for 12 hours… but it’s worth it,” he said.

Kiser said the songs the band will perform will be a mix of the old and new. He said band director Torrey Lawrence is “still a young guy” and said he keeps up on what’s popular but also keeps traditions alive with the old favorites of marching bands.

“Every year we do a new ‘hip’ song – it’s Lady Gaga this year,” Kiser said. “We do ‘Poker Face’ and ‘Bad Romance.’ It’s a lot of fun to play and see people react to something they know.”

Kiser said he could explain why tuba players in UI’s marching band wear skirts.

“Its because a while ago there weren’t enough pants for everyone and no time to order them, so the tubas decided to take one for the team and wear color guard skirts,

Follow the twisted trail for a night of fright autumn st. amand

rawr

The gate creaks open, the path narrows and suddenly a werewolf appears amidst the darkness.

“There are lots of scare points along the trail,” said Joan Rhoades, Harvest Haunt co-founder. “(It’s) really spooky at night because you’re walking up between the trees.”

The twisted trail guides people through the trees, around the house and past dead bodies, leading them to the haunted barn. The barn is two stories and filled with skeletons, Freddy Krueger, evil nurses and more.

The annual Harvest Haunted Barn and Twisted Trail is held at a 1932 historic barn,

one of the oldest farmsteads in the county. Rhoades and her husband started the haunted barn as a fundraiser for their daughter’s soccer club four years ago and Rhoades has also partnered with many non-profits, such as Relay for Life.

“One year they had a psycho room,” said Hailey Lewis, Moscow High School associate student body president. “They had a video camera so you could walk up and see yourself on TV.” Lewis has been a volunteer since it started and said there has never been a dud year.

Last year the Harvest Haunt donated $2,500 to local sports programs and $1,000 to the Moscow High School Environmental Club — more than $4,000 was donated in total.

Lee Anne Eareckson, MHS adviser, said the haunted barn is an amazing and wonderful community event.

“This family is putting on (the event) and sharing all the profits with these non-profits,” Eareckson said.

This year Rhoades is working with Relay for Life and Moscow High School’s Environmental Club, International Club, Human Rights Club and Future Problem Solvers.

University of Idaho’s Sigma Alpha Iota, the music fraternity for women, will accept food for the Moscow Food Bank at the event.

Rhoades said people who donate two canned goods to the Moscow Food Bank Saturday Oct. 23, will receive a $2

Moscow’s funky foods steve carter rawr

In Moscow there are a number of restaurants to choose from. A person can go out to experience foods they have known their whole lives, or try something new and interesting. Main Street and adjacent streets have at least 10 types of restaurants, some that could be considered American food, but several restaurants feature food that is not as common.

Ion Café The corner of Sixth and Jackson has been occupant to several small food enterprises over the years.

Now it is home to the Ion Café, an outdoor café that consists of a shade hut serviced by a kitchenequipped 1969 International bus.

Since the beginning of the semester, their sign on Sixth Street has advertised burgers, fries and bacon milkshakes. Yes, bacon milkshakes.

Owners Cleve Yocom and Eleanor Kirk came up with this

creation sometime last July.

“I just like trying new combinations and this was just something I came up with one day,” Kirk said. “I like it, but I like weird food.”

University of Idaho freshman Gregory Kim tried the bacon milkshake last week.

“It’s really good. I like the taste of ice cream and the taste of bacon, and together they mix really well.

At first you taste the vanilla ice cream, with some bits mixed in.

And then you get a bacon aftertaste,” Kim said.

The dry bacon is first chopped in a food processor. Vanilla ice cream is added and blended for a few minutes. After being pureed, the shake is topped with whipped cream and a signature bacon garnish.

Other interesting menu items include fried pickles and apple pie milkshakes and the café will soon offer pumpkin cheesecake milkshakes. New food ideas are tested out on the public so if anyone wants to sample before purchasing a bacon milkshake, just ask.

The owners of the Ion Café expect to be here year-round but Kirk said this depends on how much the weather affects business in the winter. If there is an effect, they may head for warmer climates.

The Ion Café is now serving late night crowds. A full menu will be available 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. and coupons are available throughout the Moscow area.

Thai House Most Americans are familiar with Chinese food, but what about Thai food? Not all Asian foods are the same and this is evident at the Thai House located in Friendship Square.

Manager Jeremy Sauder said, “We have a lot of people come in here, but some people just don’t like the idea of raw fish. We have different types of sushi to get people started, and some for others who have had sushi before.”

The sushi bar opens at 5 p.m.

Studying abroad myths steve hanna special to rawr During freshman year, students begin to hear about study abroad programs.

A student came to my freshman class three years ago and told the class they should study abroad. It was the usual sales pitch followed by the forgettable phrase, “You can do it,” layered on top of a photo of a sunset on a white, sandy beach and a $20,000 price tag. At least the beach looked good.

After I studied abroad in Spain and was able to finance my entire program, I realized I might have been misinformed about studying abroad.

Here are five myths I wish someone dispelled before I left the States.

#1 It’s too expensive A friend told me she would love to study abroad but can’t afford to. She has several loans and works to support herself through school.

She said she has heard a lot about studying abroad, but there was one thing she didn’t know. Studying abroad can actually be cheaper than attending University of Idaho.

I told her she could save $1,000 by studying abroad.

According to the University of Idaho detailed cost of attendance estimates, it costs $9,350 for an Idaho resident to attend UI per semester. If

my friend went to India with the USAC program on a semester exchange, it would cost her $8,500. If she doesn’t prefer India, she could go to Costa Rica with USAC for about the same cost as attending UI. The costs depend on the program. My friend could do a direct exchange for cheaper, if she is willing to live abroad on her own and without other American students.

Study abroad price estimates include everything you would pay for — room and board, travel and miscellaneous expenses — including your plane ticket.

Even after factoring in the cost of international flight, my friend would save $1,000 by going abroad to India. She would also automatically be considered for a $1,000 International Experience Grant since she has over a 2.5 GPA and has been a UI student for at least a year. She could apply all UI financial aid toward her study abroad program expenses as well, so why not?

#2 It won’t fit into my major A student asked last week if he could study abroad as a civil engineering major.

Regardless of major you can study abroad.

According to the transformative learning maps on the study abroad website 90, percent of classes in any field of study are provided through exchange programs. So even if you’re

FALL INTO THE SEASON

photos and story by steven devine rawr

Feelings and traditions can stem from the weather, and autumn in Moscow is no different. People decorate in and around their homes and get into the holiday spirit. The smell of pumpkin pie fills the air. The changes taking place outside include the leaves changing from green to brilliant reds, yellows and oranges.

One lover of autumn said it was, “brrr chirry cold brrrrr chirry.”

This sensation of seasonal colors, smells and textures is not something everyone is able to witness. Those in Moscow are lucky enough to witness the changes all four seasons bring.

Kristen Fullmer, University of Idaho student, said her favorite aspect of fall is the experience of being outside.

She said the air is crisp and not too cold yet, and the changing colors are amazing.

“I love when leaves fall off the trees while you’re walking underneath them, and the sound of them crunching under your feet is the best,” Fullmer said.

Pumpkins adorn doorsteps, with silly and scary faces carved into them. Sometimes they are elaborate and include lights or action characters. Piles of leaves cover the ground and serve as a new playground for children

during autumn. The leaves cover the lawns of many homes and parks.

“Everyone must take the time to watch the leaves turn during this bittersweet season,” said Keala Edwards, UI student.

The autumn season brings the last remnants of warm weather before snow covers the ground — it also brings food, treats and tricks.

“It’s my favorite season because it’s so festive and it’s the last of the good weather before winter comes and freezes everything over,” Fullmer said.

Some people enjoy the relaxing atmosphere the fall

season brings and enjoy taking time off from the daily hustle many people deal with.

Edwards said fall has two of the best holidays — Halloween and Thanksgiving.

Fullmer said everyone loves dressing up and eating a bunch of candy. Everyone loves to stuff their faces with delicious food a month after Halloween at Thanksgiving dinner, she said.

“I love everything pumpkinrelated. Carving pumpkins, eating pumpkin pie, babies dressed like pumpkins...and my all time favorite is a pumpkin latte on a brisk autumn day,” Fullmer said.

Edwards said Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to gather with family.

“My favorite food to eat is the cranberries. I love the fact that we get a week off to enjoy this time away from school as well,” Edwards said.

John Huston, UI student, said he likes the changes that come with each season.

“It’s something new and different seeing the color changes and the leaves fall,” Huston said. “I love that the holidays are approaching because I get to spend time with my family.”

Coheed & Cambria: Back on top anthony saia rawr

Spokane has seen its fair share of concerts this fall.

From rockers The Melvins to Smashing Pumpkins to Deftones and back.

On Oct. 17, New Yorkers Coheed & Cambria graced the stage of the Knitting Factory in epic fashion. A fan in the front of the line could be heard.

He said this was his fourth Coheed & Cambria show this year alone. While some people are not fans of Coheed’s style, one fan certainly was.

Kaitlin James said, “I drove all the way from Tri-Cities to see this show.”

James had the “Keywork,” one of the many symbols used to represent the band, tattooed in the middle of her back.

Michael Todd, bassist, pulled up his sleeve during an interview to showcase his dragonfly tattoo – another symbol for the band. Lead singer Claudio Sanchez also has the insect tattooed on his left arm.

The lines outside the venue were long, but the show was not sold out. An employee told concertgoers they still had 300 tickets available regardless of the 500+ people in attendance.

Oct. 17 was the first time Coheed & Cambria had played a show in Spokane.

As concertgoers filed into the venue, they were met with an elaborate stage set up of American flags draped over their keyboards and percussion apparatuses.

me o c l e W i! n m u l A UI

A band came on stage and announced it was the Wild Orchid Children from Seattle.

Their set began in a hastened fashion. Front man Kirk Huffman screamed his vocals, reminiscent of Zach de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine combined with the flair of Johnny Whitney. His stage presence was enormous, but the spectacle was the slew of drummers behind their kits.

Aaron Benson, drummer, had an assortment of hand drums in addition to the usual snare/bass. He also had what looked like white gaffing tape wrapped around his hands to make sure that would not bleed as he played.

In time with the bloody drumming and screaming, Thomas Hunter, the band’s guitarist, shredded guitar solos so complex it was hard to tell how a single person played them.

Every member of the band wailed on their instruments with force. The band put out so much that it was shocking the crowd was not putting forth as much energy.

Up next was the band that most fans came to see — Coheed & Cambria. Coheed has been around for about 15 years now, but had started fading from the music scene until the release of their newest album, Year of the Black Rainbow.

There were mixtures of fans in the crowd — old and new.

As the band took the stage, the concert hall erupted with chants of “Coheed, Coheed, Coheed.” The adrenaline pumped through the room and encompassed the crowd.

Vocalist Claudio Sanchez did not hold back as the set began. From his higher-thannormal vocals to impressive guitar playing, Sanchez captivated the crowd. Guitarist Travis Stever put forth just as much energy as he shredded through songs with ease.

Todd did not move around much on stage, but the his bass lines were ever present in the music.

Todd’s fingers moved quickly over his bass with his variation of picks and slaps. All the while, drummer Chris Pennie slammed his sticks into crash cymbals, toms and rolled a pedal for double bass kicks.

The spectacle was amazing. Fans sang along word for word as they swayed together.

Crowd surfers came over the railing throughout the set.

After about an hour, the band left the stage prior to their encore. Fans began chanting the band’s name once again before they stepped back onto the stage. After playing a new song, “World Of Lines,” Claudio pulled out his Gibson Custom EDS 1275 double-neck guitar to shred the opening notes of the band’s most popular track, “Welcome Home.”

The spectacle was amazing.

Fans sang along word for word as they swayed together.

Claudio Sanchez, vocalist and lead guitarist for Coheed & Cambria rocked the crowd at the Knitting Factory in Spokane, Oct. 17. The band played songs from its new album, Year of the Black Rainbow, as well as hits from previous records.

The pushing and shoving increased at this point, as the band flew through the song with ease. At one point during the solo, Sanchez pulled the guitar up over his shoulders, picking out the notes flawlessly. As the final notes of the song came to a close, the entire band thanked fans for coming to the show. Pennie tossed four drumsticks into the crowd while Stever tossed guitar picks to lucky fans.

Coheed & Cambria will continue their tour across Canada

before meeting up with Sacramento rock giants Deftones.

Todd said, “We can’t wait to play with those guys in the U.K. I have been a fan since their album Around the Fur.” Todd said Coheed was hooked up with the European shows through the people they know.

"Not to mention Nick Raskulinecz produced our fourth record. He just got done doing Diamond Eyes (Deftones’ newest) record. That album kicks ass.”

sampling food, I would be hindering my own experience. Being sick for a few days is worth the chance to see a first-hand view of a different culture.

Being sick while abroad is something everyone goes through, so there is no need to be upset or sad about it. Most illnesses only last a couple of days and are not debilitating in nature.

One should not overexert him or herself during the sick-

ness, but it is important not to miss opportunities because of the illness. A sore throat or upset stomach is unpleasant, but missing out on something amazing is worse.

It is important to realize that being abroad is a once in a lifetime experience that should not be hampered by illness. Enjoy sickness while traveling for what it is — a rite of passage for studying abroad.
