Aquarius 2/16 - 3/11

Aquarius, it’s been a rough week for everyone. Keep in mind that some people’s problems are big-ger than a coffee stain on their crotch. My gift to you this week is perspective. Some peoples’ laps are covered in things far fouler than caffeine.

Pisces 3/11 - 4/18

Be wary of strangers bearing gifts. That being said — don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. You’ll find cli-chés particularly troublesome this week so avoid them altogether.

Aries 4/18 - 5/13

Jean Paul Sartre said, “Hell is other people.” This quote will ring true for you this week. Now might be the time to focus on a personal project rather than social life. In any case, beware of strang-ers in the shadows. Cannibalism is a real concern.

Taurus 5/13 - 6/21

I recommend you avoid apple trees and golf courses. Some-times you could use some sense knocked into you, but inspiration will come in other forms and concussions are rarely worth the hassle. Besides, your insurance won’t cover the bills.

Horoscopes

Libra 10/30 - 11/23

Fair and balanced? This week has left you feeling anything but. Snap judgments are easy to make but remember every story has two sides. Think before you speak or you may stumble into trouble with a figure of authority.

Scorpio 11/23 - 11/29

Due to the date shift, you now belong to an elite group of people born less than a week apart. Make the most of your exclusivity by wearing a large sombrero and loudly proclaiming, “I’m not like anybody else!” at random inter-vals throughout the day. Confi-dence suits you, Scorpio — make yourself heard.

Sagittarius 12/17 - 1/20

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 1/20 - 2/16

The weather doesn’t know what to do with itself lately and it seems you don’t either. Don’t count on the sun or snow for consistency — only you can decide what’s going to stick around when it comes to the important relationships in your life. Be deci-sive — nobody likes a whiner.

Gemini 6/21 - 7/20

This town is full of doppelgangers and it’s no coincidence that your star sign is the twins. I predict an encounter with an eerily familiar stranger bearing your dad’s hair and mother’s nose. A new friend-ship may blossom but be cau-tious — not everyone shares your enthusiasm for adventure.

Cancer 7/20 - 8/10

Your sign has the misfortune to share a name with one of the cru-elest diseases known to man and hedgehog kind. However, don’t let this determine your attitude. This week, do something extra nice to balance out all the misery cancers of all forms have inflicted.

Leo 8/10 - 9/16

Be strong, Leo. Life’s been tough on you lately and it may get worse. But you come equipped with the quick wit required to overcome any snide jabs directed at you. Your sense of humor will make all the difference this week. Don’t be afraid to make a stupid joke when you really need a laugh.

Virgo 9/16 - 10/30

Despite your best efforts, inspira-tion has been hard to find. Get-ting motivated can be tough, but don’t get discouraged. Perhaps this weekend would be a good time to take a break and distance yourself from projects — a cold beer and a good night’s sleep can make all the difference.

the new sign making everyone angry

Ophiucus 11/29 - 12/17

No one really knows where you came from, Ophiucus, so this week is your opportunity to show the world exactly what you are. Stay classy, but don’t be afraid to put yourself out there, and quickly. You won’t be the cool new kid forever.

Aquasha DeLusty shines and sparkles under the stage lights like nobody’s business — she’s got big hair, bright eyes and enough confidence to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool. As former Miss Gay Idaho and a featured per-former at TabiKat Productions, she knows heaps about looking fierce.

DeLusty pulls off pink highlights and ca-nary yellow eye shadow with such ease it’s like doing make-up and hair are second nature to her. She said her talent with hair came from beauty school and she currently works as a hairstylist at Essence salon. She’s got more knowledge than any Cosmopolitan magazine could dish out, and yes, she wants to share it.

Give good faceIn order to bring out one’s

bone structure and make the face look as thin and feminine as possible, DeLusty said it’s about highlight-ing and contouring. Contours darken areas of the skin to make them appear diminished. She said the best way to ap-ply is to divide the face into two vertical parts. With a brush and bronzer of your choice, start at the forehead, making a sweeping motion down to the cheek-bone, where you’ll bring it in slightly. Then follow through with the “three” by finishing the No. 3 along the jaw line.

In order to look awake into the wee hours of the morning, DeLusty said she swears by Pretty in Pink by Ben Nye. The loose powder goes under the eye to high-light, and she said it will make you appear well rested.

“If you do bronzer under the eye you’ll look like you have a black eye. Drag queens, we use a bold white high-

light because we’re under stage lights ... but you can use a paler pink color to give more of a dewy look under the eye,” DeLusty said.

To seal make-up in place, setting spray is a must.

“Once you’ve got your make up the way you want it you just mist it over ... It takes the pigments of your make-up and concretes them, it’s like doing

a clear coat on nail pol-ish,” DeLusty said.

Smokin’ eyesThe smoky eye

is one of DeLusty’s personal favorites. She said it can be a “Don’t mess with me” or a “Please, come mess with me” look.

“I never smoke with just straight black, I always do a color with it. I lay my color down

first then put the black around it,” DeLusty said.

In order to make the colors pop, DeLusty said to use eye prep. Eye preps are sold by most make-up companies and are put on before eye shadow.

“It will make the pigment pop and be more true to what’s actually in the pot. So … when you put on a gold and it turns out (to be) a gold shim-mer... just get eye prep and it will make it really stand out,” DeLusty said.

Confidence is a mustDeLusty said even with

poor make-up and “iffy” hair you can still be stel-lar if you carry yourself with confidence.

Before she was crowned Miss Gay Idaho, DeLusty said she had to stop worrying

about whether a look was cohesive and do what

felt right. Having lost by mere points the year before, DeLusty decided to do some-thing unique for her talent portion. While other queens lip-synced, she performed a magic show to stand out.

Make it big and boldWhen it comes to hold-

ing hair in place this queen doesn’t joke around.

“I know they say that Aqua Net is a drag queen’s super glue but I say go to a salon and get a good can of hair-spray,” DeLusty said.

DeLusty recommended Kenra Platinum Finishing Spray Maximum Hold 26.

“It’s like the hardest hold you can get. (With) that stuff, your hair will not move for the night,” DeLusty said.

When it comes to trying a new style, DeLusty said to look online at the different virtual makeover sites or to try new things yourself.

“With hairstyles, just try it. If you’re bored one night get girlfriends together, drink some wine and start goofing around with it,” DeLusty said.

For dyeing hair, DeLusty said trying a color close to your skin is essential to see if it will work.

“If you’re going to the extreme, trust a hairstylist, we’re trained professionals,” DeLusty said.

She also warned against going from blond to a dark brown or black at home because it can leave a green overcast on hair. On the other end of the spectrum, turning dark hair light with a home kit can cause hair to turn orange.

Looking fierce and fabulousMany people receive

thought and effort from professors, friends, lovers, and sometimes, parents. The individual has to seek bal-ance between communing with society and being an individual. The world is not abstract — there is no one out there with your same set of likes, dislikes, experiences, vo-cabulary, etc. Others might share similar components, but the general compo-sition is yours.

There is pres-sure to be a self-sustaining, creative, analytical and charitable member of society, but also to be someone who stands out and thinks “outside of the box.” The individual outside one’s core self is made up of differ-ent senses of identity.

For example, the individual can be represented through a way of dressing, a dogma, a religion, a profession, a relationship, a band, the cor-poration, the non-profit — the list is endless. People gravi-tate toward aspects of life that sustain and fulfill them because these characteristics define them to their com-munity. To their loved ones, wives, husbands, friends and family, people are defined by their dreams, aspirations, and speech or action patterns.

Whether on the profes-sional or personal level there is one level of personal existence that can define and redefine a person — their secrets.

Carl G. Jung, father of modern psychoanalysis, said

different kinds of secrets exist. There are secrets one yearns to tell society but can’t, secrets one has forgotten and repressed and secrets of abil-ity and self pleasure that one keeps hidden as to preserve integrity. Jung said what you

do not share with all or some of your fel-low humans becomes your self-definition.

These secrets are beneficial or detri-mental considering their context and location. If one pos-sesses a secret fan-tasy to start a “Peter Fonda is My Father Fan Club,” but never brings it to frui-tion because of how

others may view them, they will continue their life feeling unfulfilled. They might never bring their ideas to fruition because people might think them insane or they might risk making their father sad.

People like this could do one of two things: They could fulfill this fantasy and throw themselves at the charity of other individuals or keep the secret and repress it. Jung would say to start the fan club and tell whoever has a problem with it to get glad in the pants they got glad in.

Repressing this kind of fulfillment is psychologi-cally damaging and harmful. Sharing the secret would give this individual fellowship with other individuals who shared the same secret and they could meet secretly. Jung said this secluded and healthy secretive attitude is healthy for self-individuation.

Logan Selleck said his attire has drastically changed since he moved from California to Moscow.

“Flip-flops in California are like work-boots in Idaho — everyone wears them,” said Selleck, a student from Chino Hills.

Andy Read, student, said Moscow’s weather is inconsistent which makes Californians long for their warm weather.

“I think the biggest change for these kids is not being able to walk around in flip-flops and tank tops everyday,” Read said.

Chris Dean from Campbell, Calif., said cold weather does not prevent him from wearing shorts.

“If there is no wind, then I’m warm in shorts. I do not like the wind though,”

Dean said. Jenny Feicht from Irvine, Calif. said

everyone from Southern California brags about the weather. She said she misses the weather.

“The biggest difference between the two winters is that no matter what month it is in California, it never goes below 40 degrees,” Feicht said.

Dean said California’s location is an-other advantage.

“It’s nice that the mountains and beach are all so close,” Dean said.

Dean said he prefers the cold weath-er and enjoys going to the mountains in California.

“I brag more about how much snow our mountains got. The snow up here has been poor compared to Mammoth Mountain in California,” Dean said.

Feicht said cold weather does prevent her from leaving her apartment some-times, but for the most part she still drives places.

“If there is a lot of snow then I will not go out, or if it is really cold,” Feicht said.

Selleck said he lacks motivation for class during the cold months.

“I’m always talking about how warm it is back at home. Even when it’s rain-ing, it still never gets below 60 degrees,” Selleck said.

Moving a few thousand miles can entail new weather, which Feicht said she was unfamiliar with.

“I had to call one of my friends to help me dress because I was so nervous that I would be freezing,” Feicht said.

Feicht said she was told she would adapt to the snow but has yet to do so.

She said consistent warm weather in Califor-nia allows residents to participate in fun outdoor activities, which is not possible in Moscow.

Blake Nobel, a student from San Diego, Calif., said he enjoys the snow.

“It’s nice to experience winters here seeing as we don’t get any snow near the coast in Califor-nia,” Nobel said.

Nobel came prepared with heating blankets and many warm winter clothes.

Feicht and Selleck both said they have slipped on ice multiple times, but have yet to fall.

“I’ve seen people fall a few times. I’ve watched someone fall and slide half-way down the hill by the (Teaching and Learning Center),” Selleck said.

Spotting a person unaccustomed to the snow is not difficult, Read said.

“It easy to figure out who isn’t used to having snow on the ground. Just hang out by any set of stairs for about five minutes. They’ll be the ones falling on the ground,” he said.

steven devine | rawrStudents come from all over the country to attend the University of Idaho. Some come from much warmer climates and it can be a shock when they experience Moscow winters.

Selina Paulsen, Portland State University junior, said she gets tattoos to remind her of her journey through life.

“I’d rather have tattoos than a scrapbook,” Paulsen said.

Paulsen’s “scrapbook” is off to a strong start — at age 20 she has eight tattoos each with specific and personal meaning. Three of these designs she shares with close friends.

Tattoo artist Dean Swan said he inks match-ing tattoos on a regular basis at his family’s shop, Swan Family Ink. He has worked at the shop for a year.

“It seems to be more common with girls. I see a lot of sorority girls come in and get their house symbols done on their foot or their sides,” Swan said.

Swan said he’s seen some mistakes. His sister, for example, had to get a tattoo she shared with her best friend covered after a falling out.

“As long as they’re happy with it, that’s what matters,” Swan said.

Many times matching tattoos have broad meanings as a tribute to college life. Some people get tattooed for the thrill of getting something so permanent completed. Some get inked as

a form of rebellion or to show off perceived uniqueness and individuality. Others want to display a treasured piece of art or a meaningful song lyric on their bodies.

For some, however, a tattoo is much more than a permanent decoration or simple state-ment. Tattoos can serve as memorials for lost loved ones or commemorate specific events. In some cases, they can serve as an opportunity to bond with friends and family. For many, match-ing tattoos act as visual reminders of memories and relationships in their lives.

Junior Beth Ropski shares a tattoo with friend and ex-marching band mate Emily Jones.

“A whole group of band kids were going to get it, but we were the only ones that did. It symbolizes our love of music, and how we be-came friends to begin with,” Ropski said.

She said the tattoo, a bar of eighth notes with the musical phrase “1 E & A,” on the girls’ left feet, is a testament to their past but has a deeper meaning as well.

“It’s bigger than just friendship,” she said. “It’s not just what (the tattoo) looks like, but the memories associated with it.”

Selina Paulsen has two matching tattoos with lifelong friend Chelsea Hernandez. The girls acquired their tattoos — the first is a pair of aviator sunglasses with the word “Hol-

lywood” beneath and the second is a moose reclining on its back — while on vacation in California and Canada, respectively.

“We decided to get these tattoos while on road trips together because we knew that our friendship would change as we got older … we wanted to remember the times we had when we were young,” Paulsen said.

Matching tattoos are not always just about fun times — some are more serious.

Jill Flockhart and her mom, Heather, have matching butterfly tattoos on their hips which celebrate five years of Heather Flockhart’s remission from cancer.

“She’s had the butterfly since college, and I promised her that I would get one to match when she’d been cancer free for five years,” Jill Flockhart said.

During winter break, the Flockharts added text to their tattoos (“believe” for Jill and “faith” for her mother), but Jill Flockhart said she’s done with body art.

“This was a really life-changing thing. I wouldn’t want to get another tattoo unless it was equally … significant,” she said.

Ropski and Paulsen both said getting tat-tooed was nothing new. Both said they would get matching tattoos with other people in the future, but Ropski said only “if it was awesome.”

Making friendship

katherine brown | rawrBeth Ropski, junior, shows her tattoo at the Student Union Building on Monday. Ropski shares the tattoo with one of her friends who now lives in Boise. She was part of a group of friends in the University of Idaho’s drumline who contemplated getting the same tattoo: a sixteenth note with the count they often used in the drumline underneath the note. In the end, two of the girls got inked.

If there is one thing to expect in life it’s that we can’t escape bad music. Even if you turn off the radio, it’s on your TV. When you turn off the TV, the neighbors are blasting it for everyone to suffer through.

For research purposes only, here is a list of the most annoying songs ever made.

“Bulletproof” — La RouxWho knew someone could be so shrill? There

is a reason why this song is called “Bulletproof.”

“Bottoms Up” — Trey Songz ft. Nicki MinajIn this track Nicki Minaj repeatedly asks

for alcoholic beverages, then moves on to get-ting the “keys to the benz” and tops it all off with some baby talk. Hmmm, it might be the formula for parenthood.

“Like A G6” — Far East MovementA G6, or Gulfstream 650, is a small and

expensive jet. They aren’t referring to the Pontiac or the fried mozzarella appetizer.

“I Love College” — Asher RothThis song helped me discover the new re-

quirement for all parties: This song and New Era caps with the sticker still on them.

“Fireflies” — Owl CityListening to this is like eating a bag of

sugar drenched in maple syrup. It seems like a good idea until the brain-splitting migraine.

“Hey, Soul Sister” — TrainTrain proved you don’t need a radio to be

bombarded by this tune. Sister, this song was all over TV.

“I’m On A Boat” — The Lonely IslandUnder no circumstance does this song make

it right to call your sandals “flippy-floppies.”

“Surfin’ Bird” — The TrashmenHave you heard? The bird is the word.

Everybody knows that the bird is the word.

“Whip My Hair” — Willow SmithThis song is simple and it provides direc-

tions — whip your hair back and forth. Repeat this action until neck breaks or ears bleed.

“That’s Not My Name” — The Ting TingsIf that’s not your name, then what is?

I like to shop at the Moscow Food Co-op and am a fan of pa-perless business. No, I’m not an environmentalist or hippie, but someone who enjoys fine wine and thinks blogging is the future.

And to my surprise, so do a few professors at the University of Idaho. Shocking.

Let’s play the logic card for a quick second and you will get what I’m talking about. Say you’re a professor on campus who teaches an Art 100 class. Sitting in front of you are 300 students but you assign a three-page essay. That’s 900 pages to read and more importantly, 900

pages that could be lost.By setting up class work and as-

signments to be turned in via blog, both nightmares above are eliminated. This allows students to post to what is essentially a web-based portfolio, some-thing not enough college students keep. Students could pull this out in a job interview.

The best part is there is much less overhead for the university. By creat-ing a hybrid-esque class where lectures and labs are done in person but work is turned in via the

web, everyone wins. Professors will see when work is turned in since everything is time-stamped and

students don’t have to find an open computer to print from at 7 a.m.

There is also an abundance of free blogging software to have the students work from. Blogger or Tumblr can all perform the same basic function, allowing students to post their work. Yet for some reason universities are afraid to think in the future. Costs would go down, efficiency goes up and every process is streamlined from submis-sion to grading.

So now comes the best part of any column, a call to action. If you’re a professor, think progres-sively. If you are a student, make suggestions. The only effects that can come out of running a system like this are positive.

secrets from page 3

If one possesses a secret wish to be a top-tier sports player and it separates them from the rest, they will be able to fulfill and live out this

fantasy by never giving up the secret to their success. These people are separated from

the people around them because of secrets they have. I believe this could be called one of a person’s “essential traits.” More-

over, exploring this can reveal what their subcon-scious keeps hidden from them, why they are good at some things or talented at others. Your mind, conscious and subcon-scious seeks to keep these “essential traits” secret

from your fellow humans to preserve power and top-tier ability.

Long story short, if keep-ing a secret keeps you un-fulfilled – share it with some and not others. If keeping a secret fulfills you – play your cards close to your chest.

It is rare for a novelist to be able to accurately portray the emotions of grief. It is even rarer for one to illus-trate a picture of distant cultures and sets of beliefs with language. Frank Huyler achieves both in the novel, “Right of Thirst.”

Huyler was raised in Iran, Brazil and Japan and possesses a unique world-view that lends itself to the novel in ways other authors cannot.

The novel revolves around and is told from the perspective of Charles Anderson, a cardiothoracic surgeon whose wife passes away from cancer at the beginning of the book. Shaken and left feeling empty by her absence, Anderson decides

to serve a larger purpose and finds it through a volunteer mission to a Middle Eastern country. The unnamed country, has been hit by a devastating earth-quake. Anderson volunteers his services as a doctor and lives on a refugee camp in the mountains with a young German woman and several local workers.

Anderson provides assis-tance to the nearby village but becomes frustrated with the militaristic focus of locals and the cyclical problems of the culture. His relationship with their camp leader is not always friendly and they often disagree about meth-ods of approach. Anderson and Elise,

the German woman, find themselves wishing for more action and being

unable to give it. “Right of Thirst” brings

to light the ultimate question of how much Americans can help in situations overseas and stresses the danger be-hind making assumptions and misunderstanding different cultures. The book is a raw, emotional account of human rela-tionships, conflict and poverty, and it bridges the gap between people who are from polar-opposite

walks of life. Huyler makes their plight and frustration tangible and pens relatable characters.
