“Made by the movies”

Already made famous before it was being used in movies, this song gained a long popular run at the top of the music charts. Recently it has been covered in TV shows like “Glee” and movies alike. Easy to sing along to and can be used for just about any occasion, “Firework” is a well-rounded song that appeals to pretty much everyone.

“Kids” by MGMT

“Jerk it Out” by Caesars

“Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson

Used in mostly comedy sequences today, “Jerk it Out” combines weird sounds and interesting lyrics that make it fun to dance to but paced enough that you can easily do homework while humming along to it. Still popular after its initial release date in 2003, “Jerk it Out” is still a likeable classic.

Despite lawsuits over usage and negative criticism on the music video, TV shows and Indie-style films such as “Whip It” have made great usage of the 2009 Grammy nominee “Kids” as part of their soundtracks in recent years. A good choice for playing at parties.

Award winning and featured in movies, TV shows and commercials, this song is still popular today as it was when it was first released.

Whedon’s Dollhouse Scrumptious steak fajitas emily vaartstra rawr

Joss Whedon is well known for creating films and television shows that contain intriguing sci-fi/fantasy plots including shows like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Angel” and “Firefly”. While some of his creations run for eight years (“Buffy”), some of his most intelligent, unique shows run for only one or two years (“Firefly”). “Dollhouse” is one of those short lived television shows that simply cannot be passed up.

At the Dollhouse, men and women, who have had some hardship in life they can’t deal with, sign on to become a “doll” under a five year contract. Their minds are wiped- the original memories stored away- then they live each day in a state of simplicity with the comprehension level of a child.

The dolls are then imprinted with false memories and skills to meet the needs of wealthy clients who make specialized personality requests ranging from special agent, back-up singer, loving spouse and many more. Once they have finished their specified mission, they are wiped and returned to doll-state.

Echo (Eliza Dushku) is just one of the many “dolls” at the Dollhouse, but there is something different about her.

Over time, Echo retains the memories of the past personalities she has impersonated.

In other words, the activated memories are not successfully wiped from her brain- she never returns to complete dollstate- and those personalities come out at random instances while she is activated. She later

discovers her purpose for fighting the wipes, which is her desire to free all the dolls from the Dollhouse.

Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) is an FBI agent who is determined in discovering the Dollhouse and exposing it for its crime against humanity.

His main obsession is finding Caroline (the host of Echo) and breaking her out of the Dollhouse. This serves as one the central continuous plots that drive each episode forward.

The writing in this show is witty and extremely intelligent.

This aspect really brings out each character as an individual voice and strong personality.

The doll actors do a fabulous job switching in and out of different characters as their assignments change. It is really some of the best acting that I have every seen. There is one scene where a doll, Victor (Enver Gjokaj), is imprinted with the Dollhouse programmer’s, Topher (Fran Kranz), memories to help solve a highly technological problem. Gjokaj replicated Kranz’s character exactly, which made for a hilarious yet serious scene.

Even if you aren’t a sci-fi fan, “Dollhouse” poses many ethical, politcal and moral issues in an original, engaging manner.

Though “Dollhouse” only ran for two seasons, Whedon luckily knew far enough in advanced of the show cancellation so he was able to round it off nicely and give “Dollhouse” the conclusion it deserved.

This is one show you don’t want to miss out on. Check out the full show on Netflix.

emily vaartstra rawr When you go to a Mexican restaurant your mouth waters as soon as that colorful, flavor-bursting fajita arrives on that hot, steamy dish. The down side- it costs $15 plus dollars and you still have to pay the tip. If only there was a way you could get that goodness in you for nearly half the price and in the comfort of your home.

No worries. This steak fajita recipe is here to save the day. I can honestly say that I will never go back to eating fajitas at a restaurant ever again because they just don’t add up to this one. There are so many powerful, delicious flavors all packed into one tortilla. The time and effort put in to creating this masterpiece is completely worth it when you smell the caramelized onions and taste the spice from the Caribbean Jerk sauce.

Melissa Drew hands off a freshly prepared coffee to one of the many patrons that visit Einstein Bros. Bagels Monday afternoon. The coffee shop is often flooded with students between classes as they get their daily caffeine in the form of a made to order coffee drink.

Coffee in hand, ready to go Coffee dependencies thrive on the University of Idaho campus alexia neal rawr Although some college students may be saving pennies when it comes to buying clothing, accessories, food and gasoline, there is always a way to fund a coffee addiction.

According to the Daily Sundial, over $1000 per year is spent on coffee by Americans between the ages of 18-34.Buying a cup of coffee is an experience. Whether it’s waiting in line at a busy Starbucks socializing, or the drive thru at the new Dutch Bros. in downtown Moscow, each cup provides an experience beyond what the average beverage would supply.

Those that enjoy a cup of Joe often collaborate together. Coffee drinkers are their own community. Because Moscow is a college town, a plethora of coffee shops have been sprouting up due to the thriving college-age business. There are multiple coffee shops on and off campus to choose from.It is not a coincidence that Starbucks is within the University of Idaho

VandalStore and across from the Student Union Building. College and coffee go hand in hand. Yes you need your books and supplies, but coffee is essential as well.

The social aspect of grabbing a cup of coffee has not only turned into a necessity but an addiction. While most college students find themselves trying to balance out all their responsibilities like homework, work, sports, and social life, sleep is often pushed lower on the list of things to do.

Students have to find a way to stay productive. Caffeine, in the form of coffee, is a common way college students stay energized.

“A lot of people are studying and going out and even have morning classes, so they need the extra energy. It’s pretty popular for college students,” said Emily Hunt, a Wild Arrow Espresso employee.

Hunt said she drinks coffee every day.

“I drink coffee in the mornings definitely, usually after class, and then around 5 or 6 (p.m.),” Hunt said. “So like three times a day. It’s kind of an addiction.”

But it is not just college students contributing to the coffee trend. Steve Smith, a UI Journalism and Mass Media professor, said he has been drinking coffee since high school and can’t live without it.

“I drink coffee from when I wake up at about 5:30 in the morning until after dinner,” Smith said.

Caffeine in moderation isn’t necessarily bad for you, but the addictive qualities are.

Those who have ever tried weaning off their coffee habits are more than aware of the side effects.

“I tried to cut back a few years ago and had the usual withdrawals,”Smith said. “It is a drug- caffeine is a drug. I had the headaches and was a little bit shaky. I decided it wasn’t worth it so I got right back to it.”

“A lot of people are studying and going out and even have morning classes, so they need the extra energy. It’s pretty popular for college students,” Hunt said.

Earth, wind, water, fire and quilts Palouse quilting club to display work in artisan barn chloe rambo rawr Visitors to the Dahmen Artisan Barn will be seeing the four classic elements celebrated in quilt-form at the Palouse Patchers Quilt Club “Elements Challenge” exhibit in the barn’s main gallery.

The Palouse Patchers club has roughly 170 members of all ages from Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho who come together to craft quilted creations. In June of last year, members of the Patchers took on a quilt-making challenge under the theme, “Elements: Water, Earth, Wind and Fire.”

Sue Scott, member of the Palouse Patchers and also fouryear member of the Moscow City Council said the event is a great opportunity to view the club’s work.

“The quilt show at the Dahmen Barn is not our huge April event held in Moscow, however it is a showing of our Guild Elements Challenge,” Scott said.

To participate in the “Elements” quilting challenge, Scott said each member selected an envelope with one of the four elements along with the guidelines for creating an 18-by-24-foot wall display quilt building upon their picked theme.

Dahmen Artisan Barn Exhibit Coordinator and gift shop owner Julie Hartwig said the quilts are a popular ex-

hibit, and easy to set up in the second-floor hay loft gallery.

“The ‘fire’ quilts are absolutely amazing,” Hartwig said.

“There are so many beautiful reds and oranges, from reallooking campfires to lightning bolts and fireweed.”

Last year’s quilting challenge, Scott said, was to create a quilt matching a randomly chosen paint chip. The final products of the challenge were also displayed in the Dahmen Artisan Barn, and photos of the final products from the challenge can be found on the Patchers’ Facebook page.

Hartwig said the completed quilts from last year’s paint chip challenge were extraordinary to display. When displayed side-by-side the manyhued quilts formed a complete color wheel along the walls of the gallery.

“The quilts for this year are everything from abstract (depictions of the elements) to realism,” Hartwig said. “It’s incredible to see everyone’s take on the elements — these ladies are amazing to work with.”

The Dahmen Artisan Barn is located at 419 N. Park Way, in Uniontown, Wash. The barn is regularly open Thursday – Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Patchers’ Guild Elements Challenge quilts will be on display from Aug. 29 - Sept. 29 during regular barn hours.

Definition of place

Artist Robert Neuman talks about one of his paintings at the opening of his exhibit at the Prichard Art Gallery. The exhibit will run until Oct. 12.

claire whitley rawr Prichard Art Gallery in downtown Moscow is opening a new exhibit from Idahoan Robert Neuman.

Neuman returns to exhibit his lifetime collection “Definition of Place: 1950-2012”.

This is the first time since 1969 that Neuman has held an exhibition in Idaho. The Kellogg, Idaho native and University of Idaho former student is a second generation abstract expressionist that explores regional, historical and metaphysical themes. While some works are traditional art, most are abstract. “Defi-

nition of Place: 1950-2012” includes 12 of Neuman’s 15 major painting series.Neuman was in town last week for a gallery talk, where he walked through the gallery explaining his works.

Roger Rowley, director of the Prichard Art Gallery, said 135 people attended the event.

He said Neuman was engaging with the audience, even of that size.

Rowley said Neuman is very focused, someone who was unafraid to pursue his own ideas at an impressionable time while he was entering the art world.

“You get the sense that this is a person (while walk-

ing through the gallery),” Rowley said. “You can see the growth and change, but also the consistency.”

Rowley also provides an insider tip. Walking through the gallery counterclockwise from upstairs provides a growing pattern as the years progress.

“It is interesting to see the progression of art through his life,” UI student Bryce Dinger said.

Dinger said he enjoyed the abstract aspect as well as the stories behind the art.

“His older art is really interesting,” Dinger said after looking through the lithographs in the upstairs gallery.

“It was fun learning from the

exhibits. I would definitely come back for the next one.”

This would come as good news to Rowley at the Gallery. The downtown location has been both a hindrance and a boon Rowley said.

“It’s hard to come to a balance between community and academia,” Rowley said.

There is a challenge of getting the word out to college students and even the promise of extra credit is not enough, he said. However, there is no trace of regret.

“We are cutting edge,” Rowley said. “(There are) not many art galleries in downtown locations. Prichard was one of the first art galleries to

be in a location off campus.”

The gallery features a wide variety of contemporary art, from both emerging young artists and veterans. Rowley said that this is to ensure that students have access to many different artists and artistic styles.

Prichard Art Gallery, a quiet, unassuming building on the corner, houses some of the most amazing treasures. Whether a person is just passing by on their way downtown or back to campus stopping for a look into an incredible new world is simply a must.

A night of stars Auditorium Chamber Music Series brings hit musicians to Moscow aleya ericson rawr

For years, Moscow has enjoyed world renowned musicians preforming at the University of Idaho. While this includes big pop singers such as Macklemore and Taylor Swift, it includes the classical music field as well.

Orion Weiss and the Ariel String Quartet will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 17 at the UI Administration Auditorium. The concert kicks off the annual Auditorium Chamber Music Series (ACMS).

“I began the series 27 years ago, at least,” said Mary DuPree, founder and director of the ACMS. “It started very modestly with about two concerts a year and it grew from there. There turned out to be a real hunger in this area to hear chamber music and to hear visiting musicians.”

This year, the concert series will include Grammy award winner John Clayton and Grammy nominee Gerald Clayton on Oct. 1, Music from the Palouse: Mozart on Nov. 12, Chiara String Quarter on Jan. 30 and eighth blackbird on April 1. All concerts are held at 7:30 p.m. in the Administration Auditorium.

Ticket prices are $10 for students, $17 for senior citizens and $20 for the

general public. ACMS can afford to have award winning chamber musicians at low prices through numerous grants from organizations such as the National Endowment for the Arts, Moscow Food Co-op and even ASUI. This was not always the case when ACMS first began.

“We started with groups that were from the region and we were able to basically cover expenses by giving the musicians housing in our own homes and feeding them meals and maybe helping them with car fare,” DuPree said. “And since they were beginning their careers, they weren’t asking for a great deal of money. As we became more ambitious, we had to start applying for grants.”

For classical music performances, ticket sales never cover 50 percent of concert expenses, DuPree said. She said that to cover costs ACMS applies for grants and solicits donations from the community.

The Sept. 17 concert will feature music from Johannes Brahms, Enrique Granados, and Erwin Schulhoff.

According to Sierra Chamber Society Program Notes, Schuloff was a Prague composer that was described by a music critic of the time as a distinguished virtuoso pianist and composed several pieces dedicated to the post-WWI era of art known as Dadaism. After the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia in 1939, Schuloff

was arrested for being a Jew and a “Degenerate” artist. He died in a concentration camp, and much of his music was not rediscovered until fairly recently.

The Ariel’s and Weiss have frequently performed together across the country

“So you will be getting one of the top string quartets in the world teaching the kids in Potlach and playing for

to rave reviews from newspapers such as the Arizona Republic and the Washington Post.

Jo Asker, student representative for the advisory board for the ACMS, said that students should come to the concert even if it is outside of their typical musical taste because it is a rare opportunity to hear world class performances of great music.

The ACMS does more than just provide world renowned artists for students to enjoy.

“And I think probably (something) we change a little bit every year is that we really work on outreach to the community,” DuPree said.

DuPree said that ACMS offers over two dozen community outreach activities with the guest musicians including going into schools and coaching orchestras, giving rug concerts for preschool children and their parents, teaching master classes to musicians in training at UI, lecturing to music

tor, said the center has three goals—reducing the cost of waste, raising awareness of environmental issues and incorporating social justice. The center tries to focus on issues that meet one or three of the goals.

“With our composting program on campus, we’ve seen a lot of cost savings for the university and different departments because we’re reducing the amount of waste that we’re throwing in the dumpsters. And so we’re not paying as much money,” Mead said.

“So there’s economic benefit in that program.”

Holthuijzen said the volunteer program in the UISC is there to help raise awareness of various environmental issues of students by offering them opportunities to actually engage in sustainability-related programs.

“Through the UISC Mini Grant program, for example, we award up to $9,000 every year to mission-driven students to implement sustainability-related projects on campus. These grants are for any students, and we give them the funding and support in order for them to pursue their passions,” Holthuijzen said. “We give them the funds to do something to make real and permanent change on campus.”

electronics carefully by recycling them. In Africa and Asia, migrant workers use hazardous methods to extract valuable metals from old electronics, she said. The process creates massive environmental pollution and causes health problems in workers and residents.

Their work UISC Event Coordinator Brita Olson, said the center has three different types of events—volunteer, informational and involvement activities, which all serve different purposes.

Volunteer events have a large impact on the students as the events require people to be involved in-person and make changes to the community and the campus.

from page 8 idea is that people get their hands dirty being involved in these local food systems, Holthuijzen said. They have to be out at the Soil Stewards Student Organic Farm offering manpower and helping harvest whatever is currently growing there.

Informational events are appealing to students as they could hear from people about something they have learned in terms of sustainability. The event last year—UIdeas Symposium, had six different professors talking about what they did on campus and what their motivations were.

“We got a lot of positive feedback about how it is exciting, how it is cool to learn something from the professors that you won’t find in a typical lecture,” Olson said.

And the third type of event is on-campus involvement activities, Olson said. This month the event is Bike Fix, which will have mechanics on campus and students can come to the event and get their bike fixed.

Their involvement Mead said if looking at the direct benefit to herself, getting involved in the center allows her to get service learning hours and philanthropy hours, while on the other hand the amazing experiences enable her with real job skills.

“There’s a lot of value in realizing that you’re making a positive

impact on your community and see that positive impact,” Mead said. “That can be a big thing when getting involved in your community, strengthening economics and figuring out the solutions to the social problems and environmental problems. It’s really rewarding and pretty impactful.”

Holthuijzen first became involved with the UISC by participating in the Food to Farms composting program in which she volunteered to help students in the UI Commons to sort their food waste appropriately into landfill, compost, and recycling bins in exchange for a free meal.

“After I had done that for a while, I became more involved with other volunteer opportunities from the UISC,” Holthuijzen said. “I started to see the importance of the work that I was doing and realized how much change I could actually make.”

The excitement and fulfillment of working at the UISC strengthens the students’ confidence in a real world working environment and trains them to become a more powerful person in the campus and the community.

“I get excited about the possibility of doing something that results in permanent change that makes both the local community and overall global community better,” Olson said. “It’s a fun experience tying a lot of different skills together from having a vision to making that vision a reality. That is productive and meaningful.”
