Imagine biting into an explosion of fresh blackberries mixed with the sweetness of a thick golden brown cake.

Southern cobblers are always a great way to finish off a meal, and they are a perfect comfort food for warming up the soul.

The prep time for this recipe is so short. It only takes 5-10 min-utes till the intoxicat-ing aroma of sweet blackberries escapes from the oven and

fills the room.The best part? You

can substitute the blackberries for your favorite cobbler fruit, and it becomes a per-sonalized sweet treat.

You may have been the last one to jump on “The Hunger Games” bandwagon, but not to worry, because there is a new dystopian novel out that

has the potential to be just as big as its popular predecessor.

Divergent is the debut novel of a hit young adult science fic-tion trilogy by author Veronica Roth.

The story is centered around a female protagonist named Beatrice “Tris” Prior who lives in a dystopian version of Chicago. In this futuristic society, which was created on the brink of apocalypse, there are five factions in which each uphold a single core value:

Abnegation“The Selfless” who believe

normal society broke apart from greed, and vowed to live a life free of self-indulgence.

Erudite“The Intelligent” who believe

the collapse happened out of ignorance, and are sworn to con-tinuously pursue knowledge.

Candor“The Honest” who believe so-

ciety failed from dishonesty, and promise to always tell the truth and speak their minds.

Amity“The Peaceful” who believe

aggression led to the fall, and commit to living peacefully and compassionately.

Dauntless “The Brave” who believe

societal problems stemmed from cowardice, and pledge to always display courage and strength to benefit society.

Each faction works together to make one smoothly function-ing society, or so it would seem.

An annual Choosing Cer-emony is held for all members of the society who have turned 16 within the year, where after tak-ing an aptitude test they decided which faction they will pledge their loyalty to for the rest of their life. This decision for Tris becomes difficult when her aptitude test results are inconclusive, label-ing her a Divergent — a title she must keep secret from everyone.

This thrilling book takes many twists and turns as Tris discovers a side of her she never knew existed. And, yes, there is romance.

Roth’s elaborated charac-terization allows the reader to become invested in Tris and other key characters while giving detailed descriptions of the inner workings inside her faction.

“Divergent” is an easy read, which at times makes for slower scenes, but it also gives the story a steady descriptive flow that is simple to follow.

If you love “Divergent,” be sure to check out the second book of the trilogy, “Insurgent.” The third and final book is sched-uled to come out Fall 2013.

Red Wagon Entertainment is currently casting actors for the movie version of the novel, which is set to be released March 21, 2014. “The Descendents” star Shailene Woodley has been cast as Tris, Theo James as Four, Maggie Q as Tori, Zoe Kravitz as Christina. Kate Winslet and Aaron Eckhart are also on the cast list.

There are not many places where you can buy tobacco, beer, coffee and a book on the Elements of Inductive Logic that has been inscribed in by a student with a foun-tain pen in 1897. But, Bucer’s Coffeehouse & Pub manages to be that place.

“The reason that we call it a coffee pub is so that people will know that we do both. Otherwise, if it’s just a coffee house they don’t think of it as what this place is. We have a commer-cial kitchen, we roast all of our own coffee in house and there is no one else in the re-gion that roasts their own coffee in house,” Pat Greenfield, Owner of Bucer’s said.

When you first enter Bucer’s, the wooden furniture and bookcases are immediately reminis-cent of a stereotypi-cal bar, like the one featured in “How I Met Your Mother.” To the left of the entrance walk-way lies a piano. The piano is where live music is hosted at Bucer’s every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening with no cover charge for entrance. The live music selection changes weekly with a variety of styles including jazz, blues, classic rock and Celtic.

Greenfield said when she first moved to Moscow she didn’t know a lot about jazz. She be-came involved with jazz music when her daughter started to compete in the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival.

“So then I started to find out from going to that how

much local talent there really is,” Greenfield said. “WSU and U of I are basically pipelines of talented musicians. I never run out of sources of musicians.”

Musicians are required to audition before performing at Bucer’s by emailing or contact-ing Greenfield to schedule an audition time. Auditions consist of playing five songs, complet-ing only the first chorus of the song. All students are welcome to audition.

“I have made mistakes of letting people play without audition-ing them early on. It will hold your customers captive,” Greenfield said.

I attended a Saturday night performance by a two-man band composed of Rand Walker, a psycholo-gist, and Jon Ander-son, a UI professor. The band managed to enthrall the crowd with vintage favorites such as “Here Comes the Sun” by the Beatles and other lesser known hits with today’s crowds. This resulted in many tables playing music trivia in an attempt to figure out songs

among themselves or trying music recognition apps.

“We love playing here,” Walk-er said. “It’s always a friendly and warm atmosphere.”

“It’s like playing in someone’s living room,” Anderson said.

“It really is,” Walker said. “People will sing along and people are very faithful about coming here. So in about 45 minutes we will have our crowd and they’re excellent at making you feel like what we are doing is special, and usually it ends up being a pretty special night. We look forward to playing here.”

The musical performance also managed to avoid the pit-falls that face many restaurants with live music — the music was

loud enough to enjoy but soft enough to allow patrons to have a normal conversation. Plus, unlike Phoebe in “Friends,” the band was talented enough to perform covers of classic songs.

Further on into Bucer’s, you find rows of books lining the walls and the barista stand. At the barista stand you can order coffee, desserts, beer and even espresso mixed with beer (it may sound strange but my resi-dent beer connoisseur assures me that the drink “Bucer’s Para-dise” is quite good). Depending on the day, you may even find a barista conversing with a Bucer’s regular.

“I have an emotional attach-ment to this place,” Kelly Crook, a Bucer’s regular said. “You used to be able to smoke cigars in the back room there and I met a group of friends that I still hang out with now.”

Past the barista lie doors that lead to more private, quiet rooms. There, if you do not enjoy the boisterous buzz of the front you can enjoy some quiet time. Bucer’s has free Wifi and many patrons use the back rooms to work on laptops while enjoying a cup of coffee.

The back rooms hold some of the interesting charm of Bucer’s. If you question the fact that Bucer’s brews their own coffee, you can enjoy your coffee by the roasting machine where they roasted the beans. The room that lays behind the roasting machine houses a collection of artwork created by Tyler Ant-kowiak, whose father worked for Marvel comics. The lineage of the artist is prominent in his subject matter, which includes Gandalf and JRR Tolkein, gives the room the feeling of being in a Nerd-vana.

The odd charm of Bucer’s makes it a compelling place to hang out and visit. Many coffee shops such as Starbucks seem to be made to grab the coffee and go, but Bucer’s is structured to encourage you to stay and enjoy your purchases and even some art, music or books.

On a rowdy St. Patrick’s Eve inside a bar in Seattle, groups of friends are bar hopping throughout the night, but in one bar a crowd waits in anticipation for a performer to take the stage — the beat drops and Tommy Cassidy jumps on stage to start his set. The crowd inside starts dancing while people on the street stop and watch for a minute.

It all started for Cassidy the sum-mer after high school graduation. Sitting in his back yard, him and a group of close friends had an idea to start a multi-media production company. That idea would continue to grow into Pacific Roots”production-company and would result in Cassidy’s first solo album “American Moonwalk” and multiple collaborations with Tri-City artists.

At the age of 20 Cassidy has already released his debut album with the help of Pacific Roots, a project two years in the making. Cassidy performed at his sold out album release party in Tri-Cities on May 15 and then continued with his first Seattle show Saturday evening at the Sunset Tavern.

The album has had its fair share of challenges, from production setbacks to build-ing a recording studio, but has come out on the other side.

“This thing has gone through every stage, every emotion, we’ve laughed about

it a million times, we’ve cried about it a million times. The verses themselves have taken over two years to perfect them, the beats have taken about the same time,” Cassidy said.

Not to mention a split from his producer and fellow rapper Bryson Foster midway through the project that caused delays but ultimately resulted in the

solo album.Cassidy draws

upon inspiration from his personal life and fellow regional rappers for past projects and this new solo album.

“My 2-year-old son inspires the heck out of me. I mean, I have to find a way to provide for him, and you do that by making good music that people can enjoy, and then making a living off of that is a bless-ing.”

Cassidy looks toward fellow Northwest rap-pers and the content they are producing like Raz Simone and Sam Lechow, Nick Weaver and Macklemore.

Cassidy said that a tour would be the ultimate goal for this album, along with pos-sibly setting up more gig’s on the Palouse.

“We just want people to hear the music, just let them know who we are and get a bigger buzz,” he said.

“From day one, there is a lot of potential for Tommy and Pacific Roots to grow and get really big. That’s why we are all so committed to the production company and Tommy’s music. Not to men-

tion the whole town that still supports him,” Justin Frick, the filmmaker for Tommy Cas-sidy, said.

Paddy Mulligan dreams of meeting a punk rock girl with sleeve tattoos who bakes.

“I think that would be awesome,” Mulligan said. “But I think about random stuff like that too much.”

Mulligan, a Theater Arts major, sees the world a little differently. He has a radio show on KUOI called Two Pints In Storytelling where he allows local storytellers to share their stories over the airwaves.

“I’ve been obsessed, and religious-ly listened to shows like The Moth, This American Life, and Snap Judge-ment and a couple other storytelling shows,” Mulligan said. “And I was

like — you know — why don’t I do something like that, just open myself up to the writers in the community and say hey, let’s create a platform together where you can have your work presented in an informal set-ting.”

He started by emailing profes-sors who could put him in touch with storytellers in the community, whether they are English majors or not.

“It’s not just literature, it is any-body’s organized stories that they want to share,” Mulligan said.

At the end of Fall semester he switched out of the B.F.A. of Theatre Arts, which is focused very heavily on

acting, into the B.A. so he could focus more on his writing.

“Coming into college I realized I wanted to do more, so I switched to the B.A. so I could try my hand at poetry and playwriting and then this radio show,” Mulligan said. “I always knew I wanted to be part of theater, but I decided my position in theater is that I want to help people have a theatrical experience. I want to chal-lenge those who think that theatre is only on Broadway. I want to bring them an experience they’ve never had before.”

Mulligan said many writers don’t ever share their work because they are told they aren’t writers, or they

Two Pints In StorytellingKUOI DJ gives voice to local story tellers through free-form radio show

feel they don’t have the opportunity to share their work. He said he is a secret writer as well.

“I carry notebooks with me everywhere I go and I write things down. If it wasn’t for my radio show those things might not be shared with anybody,” Mulligan said. “You know we all write things for classes and they get shared in classes sometimes, but all too often they get stuffed in drawers, thrown in trash cans or more likely lost in computer desktops.”

Mulligan’s favorite writers are Martin McDonagh and Edward Albee because they write stories that are thought provoking through the use of interesting characters and plots. He mentioned several plays they have written, like McDonagh’s “A Be-handing in Spokane” which Mulligan saw on Broadway, where he actually met McDonagh. He said these writ-ers influence his personal writing.

“I think everyone is in college at a point where they are copying the masters, and I think that’s very important,” Mulligan said. “I think that’s very important in all of our

work. When you are writing your own stuff you need to know what it is that inspires you — that gets your blood pumping.”

Mulligan said he is currently reading Grimm’s Fairy Tales and is enjoying their dark tone.

“If you read them, there is torture, there is people being lit on fire. It would be unac-ceptable to tell these stories to kids in our everyday lives,” Mul-ligan said. “The reason I look at them and say, “Wow, that is really well written,” is because it’s written with good will in mind. It’s written to tell a story and to explain their thoughts. The ideas that are darker, perhaps considered unacceptable, are often the most interesting thoughts people have.”

Mulligan said the hardest part about the show is meeting up with

people to put the story together. He has meetings almost every day, sometimes several in a day. He said

he has to be very flex-ible in his schedule and it amounts to about 15 to 20 hours of work a week. He has a portable microphone and his Mac to record seg-ments for his show. Having his own equipment allows him to record anywhere, although if possible he likes to record in the KUOI production room because it is quiet.

When everything comes together at 8:30 to 11 p.m. on Tuesdays, his show is a treat to tune into. Mul-ligan does a live introduc-tion — he has a confident on-air presence befitting a trained actor — before go-ing into the works he has

recorded for that evening’s program. After every segment he plays a song he feels echoes the piece’s mood before introducing the next piece. After 10 p.m. when the FCC allows

verbal obscenities to be broadcast, he sometimes plays stand-up from local comedians.

The show is young. Mulligan plans on doing it until he graduates, and it has a lot of room to grow. He said he is trying to start a partner-ship with BookPeople of Moscow in order to create a stronger represen-tation of the Moscow community with his show. He is also building an online presence with a Facebook page and even podcasts on iTunes. Both can be found by searching Two Pints In Storytelling.

Mulligan said that anyone inter-ested in sharing their work on the show should contact him either through email at mull5856@vandals.uidaho.edu, or through the Face-book page. He said he loves having authors read their own work, but if they aren’t comfortable doing so he has friends in the theatre depart-ment who can record it.

“No matter what they’ve been told, everyone is a storyteller,” Mul-ligan said.

A donut shop has finally opened in Moscow.

The perfect mix of tim-ing, place, support and fun couldn’t be better for shop owner Kris Wallace. buy the dozen is a new, locally owned business that sells mini donuts with fun toppings that vary from day to day.

Wallace started as a walk-on vendor selling her mini do-nuts at the farmers market on Saturday mornings. After seeing the popularity of her donuts, she expanded her location of sales to tables at community events, such as Hemp Fest, and during the holiday season at a table in the mall.

After four years and the growing popularity of her mini donuts, Wallace caved to her customers’ requests and opened a shop. Although her shop is only open in the mornings, occasionally Wallace will open “late night” for special events, such as Moscow Mardi Gras.

Wallace has been a stay-at-home mom for the past ten years.

“With four kids, it was like the right level of commitment — just Saturday mornings,” Wallace said.

But Wallace found having a shop full-time to be easier than expected. All of her equipment could be left in one place and she wouldn’t have to shuttle back and forth to her home to make new batter.

Due to her busy mornings in the shop, her husband is left with the responsibility of get-ting the kids ready and off to school before he goes to work as the associate athletic direc-tor of compliance and eligibility for the University of Idaho.

With the help of her hus-band and mother, Wallace has been able to balance the new business and her family without

needing to employ anyone. “I get here at 4:30 a.m. and

just turn on my machine and start making batter and make donuts. I close at 11 a.m. during the week because I have a kin-dergartener to pick-up at 11:30. So I go pick up my kindergar-tener, I go pick up my pre-schooler and then we’re home for the afternoon,” Wallace said.

Wallace found the first cou-ple of weeks to be the hardest part about starting a business. There was no book to tell her what to expect. But with the help of local business owners, she was able to figure it out.

buy the dozen is located on Sixth Street behind John’s Alley Tavern across from Maialina Pizzeria Napoletana.

Because Wallace doesn’t use any raw materials and all of her batter comes from a mix, her shop is not heavily regulated by the health department. There-fore, she does not have to have a lot of the required equipment. Looking to the future, Wal-lace is toying with the idea of expanding her menu to include donut sandwiches, requiring more equipment.

buy the dozen is still a new business and has a long way to go. With the closest place to get a donut in Moscow (without going as far as Spokane or Coeur d’Alene) being a grocery store, buy the dozen has found a niche in a small town.

“Without the support of my family, community and other business owners, it wouldn’t have been possible,” said Wallace.

For many artists, being on the road and touring can be draining and tiresome. But for Americana duo Miss She-vaughn and Yuma Wray, the road has become their home … literally.

The pair will make their way to Moscow to play at 8 p.m. March 28 at John’s Alley Tavern.

The duo started in Chicago where they were both working with other bands, but began to develop their own style and decided to try something new.

“Pretty soon it became apparent to us that we were more serious about doing these songs with each other than we were about what we were doing with our bands,” Wray said. “This was going to be the opportunity for us to take it on the road.”

The pair made a small tour on the east coast and realized they didn’t want to stop tour-ing. They returned to Chicago to work for a year and save money, and in 2011 quit their jobs and hit the road for a year to play 125 shows across the country.

“What we did in order to keep our costs low … is took the Honda Element we were driving and took the back seats out and built a loft,” Wray said. “We kept all of our equipment un-der the loft and we slept on top. That was so we didn’t have to worry about spend-ing money on hotel rooms but basically in doing that we limited ourselves to only two seats, so only two people in the band.”

Last year the duo up-graded to a larger band and added a

drummer, but still save money by sleeping in the van when possible.

Shevaughn said people often asked the duo, who is also a couple, how they were able to spend so much time together in such a small space.

“The year before we went on the road we were working so much to save money that we barely saw each other, so being on the road was actu-ally really great in that way,” Shevaughn said.

Wray said quitting their jobs actually brought the couple closer.

“Most couples fight about money, but once we quit our jobs and went down to where we were barely mak-ing any money at all but saw each other all the time it was actually way easier for us,” Wray said.

Although sleeping in a car may have been a money saver, the duo was more

subject to dealing with the elements.

“We encountered a lot of weird weather that year,” Shevaughn said. “We were sleeping in a Wal-Mart park-ing lot and the whole car was shaking and I was like ‘wake up, wake up it’s a tornado!’”

In the middle of the night, the pair escaped from their car and made it safely inside the Walmart.

“We thought we were go-ing to have to run into the front of the Walmart and watch our car get picked up by a tornado, but when we went into Walmart we actu-ally met the most fantastic

people,” Wray said. “And it wasn’t a tornado, it

was just a really bad storm so that was good too.”

Shevaughn said once they share with people that they are traveling musicians and sleep in their car, there is a

sense of camaraderie and the walls of being strangers often fall away.

“That’s something we try to bring into our live show,” Shevaughn said.

The pair describes their sound as dynamic and fun. Shevaughn said they like to pull in elements of vintage music like folk and California rom the ‘60s and ‘70s and blend it with blues rock styles like that of Led Zeppelin. The pair also prefers to play origi-nal music rather than covers.

“We’re not skilled enough guitar players to be able to pick out and play other peoples songs,” Wray said. “I’d say our material is probably 90 percent original material. There’s a couple covers that we know, but mostly we stick to our own stuff. We figure that way we won’t ever owe anyone too much money.”

Once the pair de-cided to break off back in Chicago and hit the road for good, they needed

names to suit their lifestyle. Miss Shevaughn was easy, they said. Shevaughn was her middle name. But Yuma Wray was a little harder to come by.

“We were driving back from California and on the way to Chicago there’s a stretch of highway in Colo-rado and there are three towns off of route 76 and their names are Akron, Yuma and Wray and I looked at a high-way sign that had all three and thought Yuma Ray sounds like a good name,” Wray said. “So basically I got my name off of a highway sign.”

Shevaughn said to get an idea of what their show is

like, a live recording is available on the duo’s Bandcamp.

The Hartung Theater was bustling with a cast of crew-members, dancers and musi-cians Monday evening — per-formers running in and out of dressing rooms, musicians off to the side practicing last-minute changes to music, soundboard members going through tricky show transitions.

These were the final hectic days before Dancers, Drummers, Dreamers takes the stage for its 32nd year entertaining the University of Idaho and Mos-cow community. DDD features student-made choreography and original musical compositions all preformed by UI students in a collaborative event.

DDD will take place at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Satur-day in the Hartung Theater, with a matinee show at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

The extensive preparation leading up to the annual perfor-mance is a large, stressful time commitment, but also really fun, said Carly Joerger, a dancer in DDD.

“There are so many aspects that you don’t even see from the audience like all of the time the music majors have spent working on this,” she said “… and all the time that we dancers have spent on all the pieces.”

Many music students at the Lionel Hampton School of Music take part in the annual show through playing but also composing almost all of the music in the show.

“Any time young compos-ers can get people to play their music that they have written themselves, it’s always a good learning experience,” said Jo

Asker, a bass player and UI com-position major.

This is the second time Asker has composed for DDD.

“This year I have learned from all of those difficulties I had last year on how to make a piece that people can dance to,” he said.

Jeff Chambers, a senior mu-sic education and composition major at UI has composed for DDD for the past five years.

“It’s a very unique oppor-tunity. I don’t know another university where you work with a real choreographer to com-bine your music with a dance piece. It teaches you how to be flexible and deal with so many factors,” he said.

Many choreographers start-ed early last semester with their dances and many musicians started making compositions last summer, Chambers said.

After 32 years, DDD contin-ues to help young artists gain experience in their chosen art form and put on an antici-pated show for the Moscow community.

This year will also be a celebration of the late Greg Hal-loran, who was the dance pro-fessor at UI and had a large part in DDD for the past 11 years. He died last fall.

Joerger said audiences can look forward to a trip around the world and a creative show this year.

This collaboration between the music department and the dance department is sure to keep going strong into the fu-ture. In years past the Hartung has been packed with sold out crowds and this year is not expected to be any different.
