hor!cope"Scorpio10/23 – 11/21Tailgating isn’t just for football. Tennis, soccer and track and field are outdoors, too. Back up the Chevy, blast the country music and fire up the grill. Every team needs support and every student needs a reason to party.

Sagittarius 11/22 – 12/21Your dreams to be lead singer in a band have not dissipated yet. Go to bandnamemaker.com and see if your fate includes Stiff Itch, Kitchen Vampire or another rocking band name. It may inspire you to dust off the electric bass, too.

Capricorn12/22 – 1/19It is unfair that Starbucks got rid of their gold card rewards, but the lack of free soy and syrup is no excuse to picket during class breaks. Plus, missing out on Pumpkin Spice lattes is a crime.

Aquarius1/20 – 2/18Start saving money for holiday presents. Once you think of it, your mom’s gift is going to be epic.

Pisces2/19 – 3/20Watch “The Sandlot” again. Twelve times is never enough.

Aries3/21 – 4/19Don’t forget to tie your shoes. Stairs are your enemy this week.

Cancer 6/21 – 7/22Cool it on the gym routine. One large order of curly fries and three beers won’t push you over the edge. Being fit is overrated.

Leo 7/23 – 8/22Time to pull out the crayons. A coloring competition is long overdue.

Virgo8/23 – 9-22Better read up on how to make a tin foil hat. Those crop circles weren’t a coincidence.

a cozy time of year

lindsey treffry | rawr

m%-tap&The last day of summer has come and gone, pushing us into the first week of fall — my favorite season. The days are getting shorter and time seems to be slowing down. Crisp air, crunchy leaves, scarves and pumpkin-flavored everything — fall gives me such a cozy feeling. Here are some songs handpicked to give you happy autumn thoughts.

“Satellite” by GusterCool and wistful, this song is perfect for kicking off these cold nights. It always makes me want to grab a blanket and sit out under the stars.

“Two Birds” by Regina SpektorWhen birds fly south for the winter, do they leave other bird friends behind? That is the childlike question that always comes to mind when I hear this song. Regina Spektor’s simple melodies and lyrics never fail to make me feel like a kid once again, just in time to jump in a pile of leaves.

“The Gambler” by fun. A sweet story of lifelong love done in fun.’s unique way. If I had to describe their style in one word, it would be “joyous,” just as the beginning of fall should be. Every song has a free spirited tone that runs through it and The Gambler is no exception.

“The Lucky One” by Alison Krauss and Union StationHer angelic bluegrass sound is the musical equivalent to that ethereal time in between the last bright days of summer and the onset of colder weather and grayer days.

“Closer to You” by The Wallflow-ersThe steady march of mellow lyrics make this a wonderful song for that trek to class. Breathe that crisp fall air and put this song on to start your day.

“Pumped Up Kicks” by Jayme DeeA wonderful twist on the hit song by Foster the People. It’s a much simpler, low-key version and Jayme Dee’s winsome voice turns this

song into a completely different creation — the way a cover should be. Throw on your kicks and stroll through a pumpkin patch to this tune.

“Fallen From the Sky” by Glen Hansard and Marketa IrglovaThe raw and emotional style of Glen Hansard is tempered by the fun musical arrangements in this tune. I imagine that if leaves had a theme song for their descent to the ground, this would be it.

“September” by PomplamooseAnother cover done right, by the indie duo Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn. Fun and upbeat, this song makes me want to dance every time I hear it.

“Banana Pancakes” by Jack JohnsonIn typical Jack Johnson style, this breezy and carefree song is perfect for that lazy Saturday morning. There really isn’t a need to go outside, so enjoy some banana pancakes and a pumpkin spiced latte for breakfast.

“Rainy Day” by ColdplayThe inevitable rainy days are one of the few bummers about fall. But Rainy Day’s drip-drop rhythm and poetic lyrics help me appreci-ate the days of drizzle just a little bit more.

With zucchini in season, it’s tough to find recipes that actually taste good. I’ve found two. The first, a classic — zucchini bread like grandma used to make. Literally, it’s my grandma’s secret recipe (not so secret anymore). The second, a new find — zucchini fritters. These, paired with homemade tzatziki, are a

light treat that are healthy enough there will be no shame in eating dessert later.

Zucchini BreadThis recipe makes

two loaves, because you will want the second. For those who for some reason don’t, just half every ingredient.Ingredients:

4 cups shredded zucchini (make sure you use a cheese grater not a blender)

3 cups flour (white or wheat, I actually use a combination of both)

2 1/2 cups sugar1 1/4 cup vegetable oil4 eggs1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon vanilla1 tablespoon cinnamon1 1/2 teaspoon salt11/2 teaspoon baking soda1/2 teaspoon baking powder

How to:Grease the bottom and sides of the pan with but-

ter, spray works too but butter tastes better.Blend all of the ingredients together – this is one

recipe where order doesn’t matter.Beat at medium speed for 1 minute, but if you

don’t have a mixer a fork works well too. Everything just needs to look mixed together.

Bake at 325 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes — use the tried and true toothpick or butter knife method. If it comes out clean, it’s done.

Creative ideas are only as good as their execution.

Take “Ruby Sparks,” a struggling writer (Paul Dano) writes

about his dream girl and gets a shock when Ruby Sparks (Zoe Kazan) turns up in his apart-ment.

Now, that’s really clever. But the mate-rial, good as it may be, is very dependent on good actors to pull it off. Luck-ily, directors Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton (“Little Miss Sunshine”) are aware of what the story needs to function.

Dano portrays Calvin just right: not quite a loser, but enough to earn sympathy from the audience. Calvin’s first out-ing into the writing world was a massive hit, so he under-standably is having difficulty finding a way to follow it up. The pressure and expectations of the world get to him and he plays it just well enough that when Ruby appears, we want them to get together.

But the real star here is Kazan. In addition to playing

the title character, she also wrote the screenplay. Knowing that Ruby will make or break the film, Kazan appeals to everyone’s inner romantic side

with the character. Ruby is a flirt, a fun lover and just fun to watch. We like her and care about the romance because we want both these characters to be happy.

That said, Kazan gets us to care first before really test-ing the characters and the relationship

between them. Before the con-flict in the love story occurs, viewers will invest because the characters are so well written. Potential filmmakers will eat this film up, as it takes fun and inventive risks in telling it’s story.

“Ruby Sparks” is a fun crowd pleaser of a movie. Whether you’re a storyteller looking for inspiration or just a romantic softie, it’ll appeal to almost everyone.

The most popular sports you've never heard ofUI Club sports teams o!er opportunities for all athletes

The University of Idaho is home to more than 20 club sports teams ranging from men’s volleyball and water polo to rodeo and rugby. The University of Idaho Horse Polo and Ultimate Frisbee teams are two of the lesser-known club teams on campus but their friendly atmosphere and welcoming attitude leave them open to any students wishing to participate.

Horse PoloLiz Moore, senior and

president of the women’s varsity horse polo team, said the sport is intense but also a fun social activity and no experience is necessary to join the team.

“We will literally teach you everything,” Moore said.

Horse polo is played in teams of three while players ride their horses and attempt to score by hitting a ball between the goal posts with a wooden mallet.

Moore said the team plays four 7-minute quarters known as chukkers.

“It’s a pretty physical sport,” Moore said. “We wear helmets with face guards, knee guards, tall boots and gloves and we ride in an Eng-lish saddle which is a lot dif-

ferent than most people are used to. They’re smaller and take a lot more leg muscle.”

Moore said she began riding horses when she was 9, but got involved with the polo team during her freshman year at UI. She said the team is competitive, but more importantly it is a social club.

“When we travel, we stay at our opponents houses,” Moore said. “I’ve made some of my best friends playing (polo).”

Each team member pays $300 dues that go directly to caring for the team’s horses, which are housed at Paradise Stables in Moscow. The team has 12 horses this year and they are responsible for the care of the horses.

“We’re a self-sufficient club,” Moore said. “We clean the stables and take care of the horses. They are our responsibility.”

Horse polo teams do not travel with their own horses, so in order to compete against other schools they must ride the opposing team’s horses.

“It really improves you riding skills,” Moore said.

Opposing teams and players voted the UI horses the best playing pony-string last year.

“It means people liked our horses the best,” Moore

said. “We take pride in our horses and they are very well cared for.”

The polo season runs from October through March, but Moore said the first semester is mainly dedicated to teach-ing players the game while the second semester is the competitive season.

The team competes against Washington State University, Oregon State University, Eastern Or-egon University, Montana State University, California Polytechnic State University, Stanford, Westmont and Colorado State University.

The team plays in a regional tournament which then qualifies them for the national tournament. In 2010 the boy’s polo team competed in the national tournament.

Moore said all students are welcome to join the club regardless of riding experience and are given a trial period before they pay their dues. In order to get involved in the club, students should email uihorsepolo@hotmail.com. The team practices four nights a week at Paradise Stables.

“I enjoy it because it’s intense, you make life-long friends and I love it because it’s competitive and we get to travel,” Moore said. “It’s just something different than your normal sport.”

Ultimate Frisbee

Ultimate Frisbee is one of the most accepting club sports available, said Ju-nior and co-captain of the team Kyle Morgan.

“I love it for the environment and the atmosphere,” Morgan said. “We’re really accepting and we take anybody on the team. Anybody can pick up a Frisbee and learn how to play which is a lot different from other sports. There isn’t as much of a learning curve so once you get hooked you get a lot better.”

Morgan has been on the team for three years and said the numbers this year are much better than years past with upward of 30 players at each practice.

Morgan said the game is played on a field that is approximately 120 yards by 40 yards, with seven players from each team on the field at a time. Morgan said there are two posi-tions in ultimate — han-dlers and cutters.

“There’s really two things you can do,” Mor-gan said. “You’re either a handler where you’re basi-cally like the quarterback in football except there’s two or three of you, and then the rest are cutters. They’re the receivers who are making all the move-ments that can drive the disk up the field and then they’ll drop it back to han-dlers because they have the better throws.”

Ultimate is also one of the only competitive sports that is self-officiated.

“Meaning the play-ers call all the fouls and things like that,” Morgan said. “A foul is any contact between players that is incidental or accidental. If I have the Frisbee and I’m trying to throw it and somebody hits my hand when I’m trying to throw it, that’s a foul. When I’m trying to catch it and someone hits me, I could technically call a foul.”

Morgan said that

despite a lack of referees and the competitiveness of the game, players gener-ally respect the rules and disputes are rare.

“They’re friendly dis-cussions,” Morgan said. “There’s supposed to be a mutual respect between players called spirit of the game where you don’t argue so much as just talk about it for a couple seconds — either ‘I fouled you’ or ‘I didn’t foul you’ and then the game goes from there.”

Players are allowed to hold onto the disk for 10 seconds before it becomes a turnover. The player defending the person with the Frisbee is responsible for keeping track of the seconds.

The team plays in three or four tournaments dur-ing the fall semester and in the spring they play in the college series.

“That’s kind of like the March Madness of Frisbee,” Morgan said. “The way it works is you go to sectional tourna-ments with teams in our area like Wazzu, Boise and Montana – we play them and then the top two teams get to go to region-als and then if you win there, you get to go to the national tournament.”

Morgan said students who want to get involved on the team are welcome to show up to practice at any time. The team prac-tices on Monday and Fri-day nights at 7 p.m. at the SprinTurf. The women’s only practices are Sunday evenings at 6 p.m.

Morgan said he encour-ages all students to get involved because the sport is laid back and has a fun atmosphere that is accept-ing of everyone.

“It’s just like a big old get together when you go to tournaments — seeing all your old friends and having fun, playing ulti-mate,” Morgan said.

R&B/Soul singer Allen Stone has turned down big bucks from record labels to seek more appreciative audiences.

“The vision that I have is finding the people that will follow me places,” Stone said. “We got a chance to open for the Dave Matthews band at the Gorge for three days in a row and everybody I met was from somewhere different. And it is really, really some-thing special to see people come out for a weekend to go camp in the desert just to ex-

perience a concert. And they’ll do it year after year after year. And those are the sort of people I want to have. People who really and truly appreci-ate what I do live.”

Stone made his own way in the music business. His self-titled album peaked at the number two spot on the R&B/Soul charts on iTunes in 2011. USA Today called Stone a “pitch-perfect powerhouse” and Esquire, CNN, and Bill-board have all named Stone as an artist to watch.

“My dad was a minister, so I grew up singing since I was two years old in the church and I really just gained a love of it through that,” Stone said. “I started writing songs when I was about 13 or 14.”

On Sept. 18, Stone gave a

free concert for UI students in the SUB ballroom with Bart Budwig, a folk and country singer, opening.

“I loved how Al-len Stone split the audience for a dance off in the middle of the concert. You could feel the ener-gy in the room. Like he said, everyone was there to have a good time and that’s what we did,” sophomore Shelby Donald said.

Stone’s first song he wrote had a much smaller audience.

“I think I was 13 and I wrote a stupid little love song for a girlfriend at

the time,” Stone said. “I think I sang it over the phone to her or something.”

Stone dropped out of col-lege in order to move to Seattle and pursue a career in music.

“Moving to the big city, which was Seattle, was kind of scary,” Stone said. “But I’ve always taken the side that I would rather do something incred-ible than nothing at all.”

Stone’s inspira-tion to follow his passions came from his upbringing.

“I grew up watching my father cry on the pulpit and

really have a passion for what he did. My mother was an OBGYN and she loved babies. And I saw that in both of my parents,” Stone said.

Stone is donating $.50 of each ticket from his next show to the Keep a Breast Foundation.

“My mom is three years in remission from breast can-cer,” Stone said. “When I was 22, she was diagnosed and I moved from Seattle back home to help care for my two younger sisters. I’ve been incredibly blessed over this past year — blessings I don’t deserve, and it almost seems wrong and improper to not take those blessings and not reflect to other things.”

The 50 Shades of Grey tril-ogy has set the record for the fastest selling book of all time. The Hunger Games trilogy has sold more than 23.5 million books in the U.S alone. Yet, teenagers are reading fewer books for fun.

“I think when an author comes along and has some-thing really important to say that people will flock to read them.” Jonah Mix, a BookPeo-ple of Moscow Inc. employee said, “I think that the fact we don’t read recreationally quite as much has more to due to the fact that we need more writers that address the things we actually care about”

According to the National Endowment of the Arts, nearly half of all Americans ages 18 to

24 read no books for pleasure. This number has doubled since the same question was asked twenty years ago.

“I enjoy reading since it gets you away from the stresses of life and put yourself in a different world,” freshman Tim Martin said.

Companies all over the world are figuring out how to make people interested in reading again. Ac-cording to Amazon, less than four years after the first Kindle e-reader was intro-duced, e-book sales exceeded the sales of both print and hardback books combined.

“I personally far prefer hav-ing paper books and having them in my house,” Mix said. “But I think that e-readers serve people that don’t read as much and enable them to read on-the-go and read things faster.”

E-books are becoming part of everyday life. iPads, Kindles,

and Nooks all have apps that cater to electronic reading. The University of Idaho bookstore offers e-textbooks for students. At the same time, the preva-lence of e-books is leading to the closure of bookstores nationwide. In 2011, Borders — the nation’s second largest bookstore — closed its doors

Some bookstores are adapting in order to survive. BookPeople hopes to have e-books available at their store by the end of the year, and many bookstores still have a loyal fan-base that prefers

paper books. “I think that the kids who

are growing up today and are ten and twelve and that are on the Internet all the time are going to go from reading Tweets and stuff like that to reading real books.” Mix said.
