VATICAN CITY — This year marks the 90th anniversary of Pope Benedict XV's proclamation of Our Lady of Loreto as the patron of air travelers.
The Vatican is celebrating the anniversary with a new airmail letter sheet called an aerogram. Each sheet of the foldable, lightweight blue paper costs €1 (about $1.30) and includes the price of postage for sending it anywhere in the world.
Describing the story behind the aerogram, which will go on sale Sept. 20, the Vatican said, "The Holy House of Loreto is one of the most visited Marian shrines in Italy. Inside can be found the Holy House of Nazareth, the place where Our Lady received the Annunciation…. According to tradition, the Holy House was transported by angels from Nazareth to Italy."
The bronze plate reproduced on the aerogram is sometimes mounted on the body of airplanes; it shows angels flying the house across the sea and, in Latin, invokes a safe flight.

The Muppets have made several attempts at producing Halloween-themed television specials. The first was The Muppet Halloween Show in the early 1970s. A theatrical feature was considered during the 1990s, followed by an attempt at an ongoing series in the early 2000s.
A year after Jim Henson's death, a short piece in TV Guide talked about plans for the Muppets' return to television:
"The classic Muppet characters -- including Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Kermit and Gonzo -- will be slowly making their way back onto television, beginning with a Muppet special tentatively planned for Halloween. That's the word from Jim Henson Productions president Brian Henson, who says the company is "coordinating an overall strategy" to get his late father's priceless puppets "back on the air and to do more with them. We'll start in a small way, primarily with holiday specials."[1]"
The early treatments of the Halloween special included scenes where the Muppet characters turned into classic Hollywood monsters (i.e., Kermit/Frankenstein, Piggy/Bride of Frankenstein, Fozzie/The Wolfman to name a few).
The same idea was later explored in a Henson video game, Muppet Monster Adventure.
A special event was held for Walt Disney World Passholders at Disney's Hollywood Studios on March 7th, 2009. Craig Shemin hosted a presentation and guest panel including Dave Goelz (with Gonzo), Heather Henson, and Stephanie D'Abruzzo. It was revealed during a Q&A session about upcoming projects that a new Halloween special with the Muppets was in the works.[2]
Rumors soon circulated that the special was planned to air in October that year,[3] but was later confirmed at the D23 Expo in September 2009 that the special was on hold until 2010.[4]
According to the Disney news website Jim Hill Media, the special was postponed once again to allow The Muppets Studio to focus all its creative energy on the production of The Muppets in 2011.[5]

We love the idea of this green lamp that blends natural textures with recycled materials to bring a bit of nature indoors. Conceived by three Venetian architects for a charity competition, the Grass-On Lamp by ITlab is made entirely of recycled materials, including the synthetic grass, and completely recyclable. The cube structure of the lamp gives it added versatility, letting it rest on the floor, on a table, or suspended from the air.
Grass-on is an extension of ITLab's mission to realize new concepts between architecture, design and interiors by using surprising materials and forms. Primarily an architecture firm, the creatives here refer to their collective as a design laboratory for project innovation, "a networked laboratory for making things, not only the things, but also the spaces between the things, the hidden connection."
The Grass-on lamp is a prime example of their projects which push new ideas, aesthetics and functionality into design. We're taken by the way Grass-on allows green to be within sight no matter where you are indoors, night or day, and with minimal care. We also like its interactive nature; if for any reason you prefer more light, you can trim back the green to let more shine through.

For those impatient the winning sequence of commands (for Debian/Ubuntu) is:
sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev
cpanp -i Math::BigInt::GMP
and now you can:
cpanp -i --force Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::OpenID
Now the story - at my pristine installation of Perl 5.10.1 on my Ubuntu box I discovered two problems with C:A:C:O installation. First was a trivial POD error, detected with the new pod tests - this is why you need to do that
--force (it is fixed in the dev version). The second is more interesting - installing one of the prerequisites - Crypt::DH seemed to take forever. Fortunately by chance I found a good explanation of the problem in Crypt::DH::GMP docs - apparently for any reasonable performance Crypt::DH needs Math::BigInt::GMP which is not in the prerequisites. Without it it still works - but it can take serveral hours to pass the tests (reported first 3 years ago). So next thing is install Math::BigInt::GMP - unfortunately this is not automatic either - you need to install gmp.h header file first (on Debian/Ubuntu it is the libgmp3-dev package). This is why you need to execute the first two commands.
I hope that will help someone.

odeo, evan williams, beta, by invitation
Here's what Evan Williams, creator of Blogger and now Odeo podcasting service, has to say on the re(cent) re{lease} of beta Odeo to inv_ited subscribers.
(I_am_one of the 11,000 invited to test Odeo beta, and this is a very exciting project to be on.)
Odeo is 'Listen. Sync. Create.' po'd[cas-ting.

Mmm, dogfood
Scoble is giving me crap for not eating my own dogfood, because I'm making podcast tools and don't have a podcast. Two responses:
1) The biggest part of Odeo, and what we've spent the most time on, and what we're releasing first, is the directory and subscription piece, of which I am a daily user.
2) You're right, I need a podcast. I've created several things, but they're not publicly available. I'm a very big believer in eating the dogfood. I'm just the CEO, but everyone in the company should do it.
Lastly, you don't have to know me to and get a personal invite to Odeo. We sent 11,000 out so far to people who signed up on the site. (We're not sending any more at the moment, cuz we're busing processing feedback and fixing things.)

National Federation of Music Clubs
I am organizing a redesign of this Web site. The goal is to make the site more interesting to young musicians so that they will apply for the scholarships offered. The culture of the organization is fairly conservative. But at the same time we need to talk to our audience in a compelling way. It could be challenging to be both hip and professional. But I love what you all do here and believe you are up for the task.
You can see the existing site here:
There are multiple audiences for this site. They include:
* Performing musicians (both amateur and professional).
* Music Educators
* Music Enthusiasts
* Donors
* Young musicians looking for music scholarships.
* The parents of these young musicians.
I think there is going to be a fine line between being cool enough for the kids and being sophisticated enough for donors and educators.
I totally believe you are up for the challenge!
It is likely that they are going to want these as primary pages of the site:
About NFMC
Award Winners
Competitions & Awards
Donor Information
State Organizations
United Nations
It's possible that some of them could be sub-pages. So, a design that allowed for scalable Wordpress pages would probably be ideal.
The home page would likely be a static post or page that is able to be updated by them.
I don't think it needs to be overly flashy. I think it just needs to be clean, cool, sophisticated and scalable.

Nokia Oyj will skip a dividend for the first time in at least 143 years as the struggling Finnish mobile-phone maker retains cash for its comeback attempt.
The company announced the decision as it reported a seventh straight drop in quarterly revenue and U.S. phone sales trailing estimates, sending its stock lower. Even the World Wars and the breakup of the Soviet Union, a major buyer of Nokia's networking gear, didn't stop the former maker of rubber boots and toilet paper from returning cash to investors.
Chief Executive Officer Stephen Elop has cut more than 20,000 jobs and is conserving cash to challenge Apple Inc. and Google Inc. with devices running Microsoft Corp. software. Cost cuts helped Nokia post its first profit since early 2011 after racking up losses of almost 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion).
The dividend omission "is a very important step because it shows management is conscious of the work that is ahead," said Eric Beaudet, an analyst at Natixis Securities in Paris. "It's clearly a strong signal to the market that says 'Don't worry about our balance sheet, we'll do what it takes.'"
Nokia was projected to forgo a payout, according to a Bloomberg dividend forecast. To maintain the dividend at its previous level, Nokia would have had to pay about 750 million euros from its reserves. The company's net cash rose to 4.4 billion euros at the end of the fourth quarter, and the payout omission will "ensure strategic flexibility," Nokia said.
Lumia Sales
Nokia shares fell 5.5 percent to 3.30 euros at the close in Helsinki. They have lost more than half their value since February 2011, when Nokia said its phones would run Microsoft's Windows. Still, the stock has recovered from July's low of 1.37 euros as investors reassessed Nokia's chances of recovery.
As part of his reorganization, Elop has closed production and research facilities and sold patents and other assets. He has introduced smartphones including the Windows-based Lumia 920, which is carried by AT&T Inc. in the U.S.
Lumia unit sales rose to 4.4 million in the fourth quarter and total sales fell to 86.3 million phones, including 700,000 units in North America. Sales in China slid 69 percent to 4.6 million units. Apple said yesterday it sold 47.8 million iPhones globally during the period. Android shipments rose to 136 million units in the third quarter, according to researcher IDC.
"U.S. volumes are very weak," said Mikko Ervasti, an Evli Bank analyst in Helsinki, who predicted North America sales of 1.2 million Lumias. "U.S. ramp-up is not going as expected."
Nokia's fourth-quarter net income was 202 million euros, or 5 cents a share, compared with a loss of 1.07 billion euros, or 29 cents, a year earlier. Analysts projected a loss of 7 cents. Net sales declined 20 percent to 8.04 billion euros, compared with the 8.1 billion euros analysts estimated.

Simple, yet decadent fish supper: pan-fried vendace
This was originally posted in August 2012. I reposted this in late June, when the catching season for Lake Peipus vendace began and fresh and smoked vendace was again available, if pricey (going rate for a kilogram of smoked fish was about 20 Euros in June. But, oh so worth it). Now the Finnish vendace - slightly smaller, but just as delicious - has hit the market stalls, and we had pan-fried vendace for dinner tonight. Hence the reposting :)
Vendace is a wonderful freshwater whitefish that you'll find all over the northern continental Europe. The Latin name is Coregonus albula, and although it looks quite similar to the Estonian "national fish" Baltic Herring (räim aka Clupea harengus membras) that belongs to the herring family, then vendace is actually part of the salmonidae family alongside salmon, char, trout, graylings and other freshwater whitefishes.You're most likely to come across vendace (also called European cisco) in the lakes of Finland, Sweden, Russia and Estonia, as well as some lakes in the UK, Poland and Northern Germany. When I say the lakes of Estonia, I mean Lake Peipus - and must sadly admit that vendace has been scarce in the local waters during the last years.
Imagine my excitement when I saw beautifully fresh vendace at the local farmer's market yesterday morning! I immediately bought some hot-smoked vendace for lunch, and almost a kilogram of fresh vendace for dinner. It's such a delicate and excellent fish that doesn't need much messing around. A quick bath in a seasoned rye flour, followed by frying in hot butter or oil - you'll find the "recipe" below. I served the fried vendace with a fresh tomato salad, and the meal was enjoyed by all, including the small kids.
A note on vendace roe. The dark orange-coloured vendace roe (rääbisemari/löjrom) is a true delicacy, and Kalix löjrom from the Swedish Botnia Bay archipelago has even been granted a PDO (protected designation of origin) status by the European Union, just like Prosciutto ham from Tuscany or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese from Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. When the rather excellent roe of common/European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) cost 799 SEK (Swedish crowns) in a supermarket in Stockholm back in early June, then the vendace roe was almost double the price, 1490 SEK:
Sorry for the photo quality - it was a quick snap with my mobile phone.
Names in other languages: rääbis (Estonian), muikku (Finnish), ryapushka (Russian), löj (Swedish), corégone blanc/la petite marène (French), Kleine Maräne (German).
Pan-fried vendace
(Pannil praetud rääbised)
fresh vendace (calculate about 2-3 fish per person)
rye flour or oatmeal
freshly ground black pepper
fresh dill, finely chopped
oil and butter for frying
Season the flour with salt and pepper, then roll the fish in the flour until evenly covered. Heat some butter and oil (or just one or the other) in a heavy frying pan over medium heat. Add the fish and fry for a few minutes on one side until dark golden brown, then carefully turn over and fry the other side for a few minutes again.
Garnish with a sprinkling of dill and serve with boiled new potatoes or potato mash, and perhaps a dollop of good home-made mayonnaise (be sure to click on the link if you haven't seen the cool Nami-Nami video recipe yet).

This looks really good. Pan fried fish always my favorite. Sometimes, I just pan fried the fish then season with soy sauce, very simple and easy but really yummy. :)

oh oh oh! but you must use butter to fry them, says my mom...
i'm sorry lake peipus isn't giving you more fish, luckily where our cottage is we still get some muikku, among other kinds of fish.
i'm trusting you ate the vendace with no knife and fork, and licked you fingers afterwards!

My husband and I will be spending next weekend in Tallinn. I have just booked a table at restaurant Nevskij for one of our nights, and when doing a google search for another place, I found your blog. I love to learn about loccal food when I travel, and have a special section in my blog which is called food and travels. I have now saved your blog address, and will be back.
By the way, do you have a charming, local restaurant to suggest, for lunch and/or dinner next Saturday.

drewjoh needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 421 designs submitted by 108 freelance designers.
We're starting work on a new bug tracking and project management app (web based).
A play on plants or flowers growing instead of just using bugs for the icon would be wonderful!
!!! ----------- !!!
Hey guys, my days are very full, so I apologize if I don't rate or comment on your designs right away. I WILL rate and comment though, please be patient. Thanks so much!!
We're looking for a simple, clean, elegant, memorable, web 2.0ish logo.
A wireframe of our app can be seen here: yipmedia.com/projects/dbug_overview.png The logo found in the wireframe is NOT what we want! Please don't use that as a reference.
We don't yet have a color scheme, so that's completely up in the air also.
A great example of the type of logo we have in mind would be something like the logo at: appsydaisy.com But please don't let that stifle your creativity or options! I'm open to so much more (which is why I'm here, right?) =)
- Would prefer all letters be lowercase (but I'm open to it if you can make it work otherwise)
- We like the idea of it being a logo easily put into a favicon for the website, or a 32x32 icon for small branding, etc. Again, not an absolute requirement.
- Color scheme is open; we do like blues (who doesn't?), greens, reds or browns.
- We don't have a tag line as of yet.
- Don't want a "cheap" looking logo.
- Don't like hard edges on fonts (like pixel fonts)
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

Trees and Rivers: Poetry and Ecology in Latin America
Seven Trees: Digital Photographs by Wilmor López (Nicaragua)
Confluence (The Imperial River): A Video and Photographs by Mariana Matthews (Chile)
March 5 – April 12, 2008
El Panamá by Wilmor López
The lecture and exhibition focus on the relationship between literature, the visual arts and the physical environment, highlighting how human culture is linked to the physical world, and the primary importance of place—of the imagined spaces in poems and images that serve as intermediaries between the human and what David Abram calls the more-than-human world.
Throughout his life, Nicaraguan poet Pablo Antonio Cuadra (1912-2002) demonstrated a keen sensibility toward the physical environment of his native country. Deeply familiar with its visible landscape of volcanoes, mountains, jungles, savannas, lakes, islands, rivers and coasts, Cuadra also discovered how to reveal the secrets of another landscape, invisible but etched by history and animated by the collective memory of a people through folklore and popular songs, as well as through myths of indigenous origin.
In his book Seven Trees against the Dying Light, first published as Siete árboles contra el atardecer in 1980, Cuadra uses seven species of trees to explore Nicaragua's past, present and potential future. His ceiba (Ceiba pentandra), jocote (Spondias purpurea), panamá (Sterculia apetala), cacao (Theobroma cacao), mango (Mangifera indica), jenísero (Albizia saman) and jícaro (Crescentia cujete) are all part of Nicaragua's rich biodiversity and become poems of sustainability. Cuadra's poetry also incorporates a mnemonic technique for remembering who we are, where we are from, and above all, where we are going if we do not manage to learn to root language in the earth and care for what sustains us.
Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (1904-1973) attributed his genesis as a writer to the Río Imperial, a river in southern Chile, where the poet was raised, that flows to the Pacific Ocean. In his autobiography, Neruda wrote about a time in his life when he had to flee from Chile to Argentina to avoid political persecution: "My poetry was born between the mountains and the river. It took on the voice of rain and was impregnated with the forests as if it were wood. And now, en route to my freedom, I was camping briefly near Temuco, and I heard the voice of the water that taught me to sing."
- Steven F. White
Here it grew, with a trunk fortified like a heavy door,
buttressed and resisting the wind like the feet of the colossal pharaohs of
Aquí creció fortificando su tronco con jambas o contrafuertes

Excerpt from El Panamá by Pablo Antonio Cuadra
Seven Trees against the Dying Light was translated from the Spanish by Greg Simon and Steven F. White (Northwestern University Press, 2007).

Even though we used this space last week to point out the double-speaking duplicity of the United Nations for allowing Iran to ridicule Jews and Judaism and to continue to call for the annihilation of the Jewish state, we are compelled to once again write about that organization. Some of the developments and pronouncements emanating from the UN and its agencies are so egregious, so preposterous, so shocking that they must not be ignored.
UN Watch, the Geneva-based NGO, reported this week that Syria has announced it will seek a seat on the UN's 47-member Human Rights Council. The election for the vacant seat will be conducted next year. But the word "election" in relation to membership on the council is as appropriate as it is in relation to elections in Iran. That is, not at all.
As Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, points out, once Syria becomes the nominee of the UN's 53-nation Asian group, "Syria's candidacy would be virtually assured," for the group will only nominate as many candidates as it has vacancies to fill.
Setting aside for the moment even superficial scrutiny into the record of the UN Human Rights Council, the mere idea of Syria being considered as a member of a body whose mission is to protect and defend human rights can cause one to experience vertigo and nausea. It is simply absurd, an affront to conscience and a complete overturning of the plain meaning of words and language.
President Bashar Assad's forces and various henchmen are believed to have murdered as many as 14,000 fellow countrymen since February. Countless thousands more have been tortured and brutalized.
Yet, the possibility of Syrian membership on the council seems not to bother too many other countries. The United States and Europe attempted last week to pre-empt the possibility of Syria's ascension to the council, but their attempt was stymied by such international human rights stalwarts as China, Cuba and Egypt. As UN Watch further reported, Russia and India argued that it was premature to decide the matter before Syria had formally submitted its candidacy, adding that Syria after all, might be a good candidate for the council, since it had been unanimously elected last year to two human rights committees of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
We are no longer surprised by the dark, low crevices of immorality and hypocrisy that the UN and its agencies occupy. Once demonization and delegitimization of Israel became the international body's recurring obsession, the perversion of the UN was inevitable.
We abhor what the UN and its agencies have become.
We lament what they could have been.

Lots of work went into Ken Frasier's li'l pickup-least of which was the grafting of the '29 two-door sedan body section to the rear of his car. He cut off 25 inches, along with the roof section, to get the rear right, then cut the wheelwells out before raising them 5 inches. It has a Jag rear and is set up on a shortened (9 inches) and kicked (13 inches) '32 chassis.

Does the project builder support non-ez80 / non-ti targets too? just wondering.
Also, an idea might be integration to some kind of versioning like overleaf does. (You can edit LaTeX and host the project on github.)

NormanG necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 86 diseños de 25 diseñadores freelance.
Citizens Matter
Citizens Matter is a non profit organization that helps citizens organize around progressive community values. The project is centred around democracy and engaging citizens around progressive community values at the civic (local/city) level of government. The project is based in Canada.
Being a citizen means caring for the place we live and wanting to make it better. However, like doing the dishes, being a citizen means engaging in shaping the place we live in. It requires people to be involved.
We live in a period of time where fewer people are participating in one of the fundamental components we use to run our communities – elections. Fewer people are voting in elections all across North America.
People feel disconnected from their community, their province and their nation. Cynicism of electoral politics (the act of deciding those who will run our governments) is very high, and yet when asked, more people are seeking community and connection.
What is often missing is genuine engagement – what is missing is the connection and result of being a citizen. When people are involved in creating, shaping and improving their community, then citizens matter.
The target audience are citizens that care about their community. They are not specifically activists. However they share progressive values (concern for their environment, equality, social justice, freedom, etc...), and are more interested in working together to find solutions for their community.
We are looking for a logo for a new program called "Citizens Matter."
Logo should capture the philosophy in "tell us about yourself section." Note comments in the "target audience." Logo should NOT be edgy, aggressive or activist-looking. This not anti-business, but pro-community values that are warm, friendly and welcoming.
Currently we are using a blue that fits very well with our other materials and we would encourage designers to use it: C=86 M=61 Y=0 K=0, but please consider that this graphic will be used on the web and in print (in both coated and uncoated print jobs). We are currently using white text on the blue. As well in our work books we are using a second colour: C=57 M=44 Y=100 K=27 (see attached screen capture). But this is not mandatory to include.
The logo should easily incorporate the name of the program "Citizens Matter", but also be able to stand alone. We favour minimalism over clutter and we like vibrancy over pastel.
For those desigers from outside North America, please note that the project is Canadian and NOT American, but DO NOT feature a Canadian flag.
The project is about democracy and citizens being engaged to make their local community a better place. As we said in the "target audience" section, people are engaged around progressive values.
We look forward to your inspired designs!

Perhaps you more experienced folks can help...
Posted: February 18, 2013 - 3:14pm
Hi, I new here and new to the idea of using digital media to replace my cd collection.
I have a luxman cd player, Cambrige Audio DACmagicplus, and NAD amp, I have been unable so far to get my computer or Sony Google Media box to sound as good as the Luxman (they of course go through the same channels, just one is a CD in a CD player, the other is an digital file through the box.
Some questions (please be gentle as some may be stupid - I am new to using computers to generate high end audio)
- Is the Vaio laptop I have sufficient, or do I need a specific computer or soundcard?
-Same for the Sony Google media box - is it just too low end? (I am hoping that the box would be sufficient with a few tweaks because that way I could just have one device for video streaming and my music collection. I have a digital optical going from the box to the DACmagic.
-Would I be better off to buy a device specifically made to stream music at high quality?
-Do the files have to be lossless? ***I know its a dangerous question! *** But from much of what I have read human ears can't tell the difference between lossless and 320kbs compression. To that end I have done some comparisons for myself:
I used the Vaio laptop connected to the DAC and listened on my pair of Sennheiser HD595 headphones to do the comparison.
I used a CD in windows media player, and a couple tracks each ripped at WMApro 256kbs, MP3 320kbs, WMA Lossless, and .WAV I compared each of them to the CD and to each other and found the CD sounded better than even the lossless, and the lossless and MP3 320kbs were pretty well identical.
Similar result when I listen to my main system (mentioned above using either headphones or my towers) and found a similar result - the CD just sounded better. If lossless is identical to my ears (and scientific waveform studies) as MP3 32kbs, then I should be able to stream a 320kbs MP3 from my media device and have it sound the same as the CD, but it doesn't. CD is noticeably better. This leads me to the conclusion that the CD player is just a better device than my laptop or the Sony box and that I need a better media device (or sound card)
Thoughts or opinions? I appreciate any advice!

(From the forum)
Part of this weeks budget challenge for me is to keep my weekly shop to the bare minimum by digging deep into my cupboards and seeing what I can use. For my bentos I am going to tackle at least some long ignored canned tuna, and some tofu.
But I do have a few other oddities like the jar of pickled cockles that someone gave to me. ???
Tell us! What is lurking in your cupboard that you can use and/or what is the strangest thing you have hanging about? :)
Hello Courtney!
I have a similar goal of using things in my pantry. I think I'm a bit of a hoarder, so it's a good discipline for me. Hmm, one thing I have is a sort of noodle made from tofu. It looks like super zig-zaggy wheat pasta, but it's just tofu. I will try to use some of this, perhaps with a veggie stir-fry. Let's see if it shows up in one of my week 3 bentos :-)
My big problem is half eaten jars of stuff in the fridge. So far I've managed to fit the tail ends of a jar of artichoke hearts and a jar of "cheese filled belle peppers" (so yummy) into my bentos, so that's two fewer jars in there. My next aim is the jars of gherkins and pickled onions. I think I might just have to throw the jar of blue cheese stuffed olives out though - I really don't like them.
The oddest thing I have in my pantry is a packet of "Bean curd in the shape of intestines", that I bought in an Asian food shop purely because the name tickled my fancy. Yoshio the Japanese student thought it was very funny, because the name in Chinese characters didn't say anything of the sort - it just said "Dried Tofu". This makes me suspect that the Chinese manufacturers are very cunning, and put outrageous English names on things to entice persons like myself into buying them. I somehow don't think these bits of dried tofu are ever going to get eaten either - they haven't been tested for melamine content. Not to mention that I don't have the foggiest idea of how to prepare them.
My blog is Food and Shoes
Bronwyn, that's hilarious! :)
Any other hoarders out there want to share their cupboard secrets? We won't tell! ;)
Aside from six cans of tuna (all for me, as no one else eats them) and bags of dried pasta from years ago I've got dehydrated lilies and enough shiitake mushrooms to feed a sumo wrestler for a few days. And black fungus. Oh, black fungus.
I've also bags and bags of dried seaweed; there were at least five different types of seaweed, not counting the oily snack seaweed. I don't know what I'm going to do with most of it. (I mean, aside from eating it.)
And of course, there's always the large stash of okara left over from soybean milking in my fridge, and the many sweet loaves in the freezer because I like buying loaves at coffee shops and...hoarding them. There you go. My deepest darkest pantry secrets. Let's not mention the large stash of durian flavoured wafers.
My secondary goal is to start gnawing off bits of my basil plant, because it's growing too big for its current pot and needs...trimming.
This is going to be a big target for me too. I'm forever opeing things and chucking them out before I've used them all up.
Just about to work out what to put in tomorrow's bento. I have access to a microwave so am wondering if an egg based rice dish (with whatever veg I have lurking in the fridge in it!) will be ok reheated...
I made the best marinade for tofu last week out of soy sauce, 7 spice, sesame oil, garlic and ginger so am itching to have loads more tofu drenched in that.
Great topic! I am a serious hoarder when it comes to food. Since we have to be out of this house in a month (!) I have been trying to cull my stash. Yesterday I found an old packet of reindeer-head shaped pasta from Ikea that seemed to contain meal moth eggs. Not fun.
My next house, it will NOT have too-deep kitchen cabinets.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
HI! just wanted to say how much i love your pages! You give me great and wonderful ideas on how to cook! Im a hoarder from way back. i would have to say that i stash dry goods. Lots of rice noodles and nori wraps. (i bought the Lye noodles just because of the name. so i agres with Bronwyn!). i should use some of the frozen mussles i bought nearly a year ago... (steamed or baked?)
Thanks again
Well lets see... I've got a small can of opened evaporated milk, of which i used a small portion in a recent recipe. Not sure what to do with the rest. What does one do with evaporated milk? I suppose I could attempt a mini pudding?
I've also got about 1/3 of a bag of Maseca (Mexican corn meal mix) in the pantry that needs using. I may go all out and make corn meal pancakes. I dont usually like making pancakes because it takes forever (note to self: buy a large waffle iron in the future) but perhaps I could grind it out and make a bunch to freeze for easy breakfast.
I tend to use evaporated milk the same way I use regular milk. I like to use it in coffee. I also have used it in mashed potatoes, instant pudding mixes, etc. In the summer, I put some evaporated milk in a tall glass with some canteloupe cubes and ice.
My kitchen cabinets are not that deep but they are too high for me so whenever I open them, my boyfriend (who is tall) looks from his privileged point of view and always ends up saying 'ok, this w-e we'll try to clean them up and see what's lying forgotten inthere'! -_-
I know that one of the focuses of the challenge is getting organized, but he is TOO MUCH organized and I do not have strange things to eat and show this week, so I will enjoy yours!!
I think I have those same kind of cabinets, 1950's vintage (if not older) with an oven and stove to match (and not in a good way). Even with being 6' tall I cannot always reach things on the top shelf. I wish I could hoard a bit more, keep more canned and dried goods on hand, I cannot fit the case of canned diced tomatoes I just bought in the cabinet and it is bugging me. But I will also enjoy your strange things in your collective cabinets.
Funny you should mention that--frozen bread loaf ends were taking over my freezer. (Ya know, I throw them in there thinking I'll make bread crumbs or something.) So this weekend we had french toast with a variety of breads! Yummy.
I'm tend to be a food hoarder as well. I have countless cans of vegetable broth, but at least I use them all. I also have 10-12 cans of thai curry pastes and about 6 bottles of soy sauce. I also keep different types of rices on hand: jasmine (my standby), brown, basmati, Calrose, glutinous, and black rice. Noodles are another thing I hoard. I have soba, somen, shandong dried noodles, rice vermicelli, udon, cellophane noodles, misua, pancit canton, pancit bihon, egg noodles, etc. At least I have a lot of stuff to use for bentos.
I was just looking at my many cans of tuna (Costco, need I say more), thinking that I don't eat it often enough, so I had a tuna sandwich for dinner and made some mini sandwiches for tomorrow's bento.
I'm relatively disciplined about using what's in my pantry, but because I do so much non-perishable shopping in bulk, my pantry is always pretty full.
I do know that I have a couple of things stuck in there that I may never eat, though - one can of Amy's Organics low-sodium minestrone (I *heart* sodium, and no amount of salt can save this), three cans of Amy's Organics chili (nowhere near as good as my home-made, will never buy again), and a giant can of Trader Joe's onion soup. I think I need to go ahead and just donate these things to a food bank or something.
Amy's soups and chili I can usually doctor up to be passable for a meal when I don't feel like cooking. But others have asked me not to get the chili any more, apparently to some it smells and looks like dog food. And I agree I can make much better chili.
GREAT idea, my husband is always nagging me about the assorted jars on the top shelf of the fridge. Have had a clean out and thrown out a couple of jars of suspicious looking things and am making plans to use the other stuff. Feeling better already! Have also taken up annenayne's suggestion and made a bag of 'never to be used' items from the pantry to donate.
And I have just put the jar of blue cheese stuffed olives into my bag to take to work tomorrow, where I will put it in the fridge with a "please help yourselves" label on it. Starving students will eat anything.
I have another pantry problem actually - I love to make jam and preserve fruit. And I very rarely eat any of it so I have a wonderful looking pantry with rows and rows of every sort of good thing, none of which gets eaten unless I have visitors. If only jam wasn't so nice on top of fresh white bread and thick fattening butter.
Here is a small portion of the jam:
Yum! How I wish I saw that when I opened my pantry. I always think how nice it would be to make jam and preserves but I never get around to it.
When you don't eat them yourself, why not giving them away as gifts? Everytime you are visiting someone, maybe invited to dinner or something, take one with a nice ribbon and give it away. You can continue making them, but do not have to eat them all by yourself, or waiting till you have visitors
You can sell homemade goods on Etsy. No, really, I think it would be a lovely idea. :)
I grew up in a house of a hoarder. If you can't feed you and yours for several weeks with what you already have, you shouldn't consider yourself a cook; or so the old wisdom goes (now I'm not so sure that's wise). My problem's not the pantry (I'm pretty good at using most stuff eventually--and I'm not afraid to donate tins and packages of food when I no longer remember why I bought them). My freezer is tiny and forever packed with bags of vegetables, homemade broth, protein, and the odd bits of leftovers; all of which is pretty regularly rotated and used up. No, my problem is the fridge.
Tiny jars of sauces and spices that last far longer than my taste or my list of recipes. Fusion garlic sauce (yummy, but odd), chipotle-beer bbq sauce (spicy and smooth), tai-szechwan hot sauce (really none of the above, but resilient red and oddly hearty), ... it's getting so bad that I'm mixing them with tuna to fill out my bento, and cooking chicken breasts in them just to use them up.
I'm trying to use up some sauces (olive tapenade, tomatillo salsa) by mixing them with pasta or rice.
Oh boy, how to describe this.. When it's edible, is dried or canned and unusual I'll probably have it somewhere in my cupboard or kitchen kabinets. Just some things:
- about 50 bottles of different wines (while we drink all of two bottles a year I still buy the stuff)
- a year's worth of buckwheat noodles, always handy when you have to cook for 20 people all of a sudden..
- packets of strained tomatoes, cans of peeled tomatoes, packets of dried tomatoes, tomato juice...
- all kinds of veggies and fruits in packages, cans etc. From pinapple to dried cranberries
Oh, and something I need to stop doing: buying spices in bulk. Who the hell needs a kilo of curry, a pound of white pepper, 8 different sorts of spices for shoarma.. I even buy stuff I don't even know or have no clue of how to use.
The fridge, same thing: pots of sweet peppers filled with cheese, 4 kinds of olives, at this moment 5 open bottles of sauce varieing from sweet plum to garlic, 3 kinds of curry paste (for indian cooking! love it!)...
And let's just not talk about both of my freezers ok ;)
Oh, and something I need to stop doing: buying spices in bulk. Who the hell needs a kilo of curry, a pound of white pepper, 8 different sorts of spices for shoarma..
Ha! My BF always wants me to buy dried herbs in bulk. "Baby, no. There's no way I'm going to go through four cups of dried basil before it tastes like dust."
Make jam filled cakes and give them too pepole.
Does anyone know how to use up mincemeat in a non christmasy way? I made too much again, and mince pies are depressing in January/February.
Try this slice
You wont need to make the fruit mince, but the pastry is yummy and so easy to make.
I've been very good about not hoarding (which I love to do, just to have everything on hand) and using everything in my pantry/fridge, but I just went to the grocery store and literally bought enough for two to three meals a day for myself, my boyfriend and his son for a month and a half. Therefore, my cupboards are newly-filled with all sorts of weird stuff. Probably the weirdest stuff I have but never use are Mexican cooking products that my mother-in-law brings me, Croatian strawberry instant pudding mix (which doesn't taste the same as Jell-o), huckleberry jam and lingonberry preserves. Not as weird as it could be, although seeing as I'm the only person I know who cooks Japanese food, some people find my cupboard fillings to be a little weird (umeboshi, agar-agar, 4 kinds of seaweed, furikake, dried shiitake mushrooms)...
Like Maki I'm moving house so am challenging the BF (he is the cook usually) to create things based on our large stocks of tinned beans (chickpeas, red beans, mixed and refried) with bonus point for using up some of the many tinned tomatoes as well.
I am a jelly hoarder. I love jelly and icecream. But if I want jelly and make some, by the time its set I don't feel like jelly and it eventually goes funny in the fridge. I recently went down to 3 packets from 8 as the use by date had passed.
This weeks use up includes blue cheese salad dressing which the boy doesn't like. I'm trying it with boiled egg today.

Antiquing central in Waupaca County
July 14, 2011 by Judy Trull
I am still learning so much about my own City as well as the communities that surround us. Living in the heart of Waupaca County puts us in a great location to be where the action is in no time at all. Tim and I were on the hunt for an antique piece of furniture to use for a beverage center upstairs, where our guests could enjoy a cup of tea, coffee or cocoa at their convenience. So we took in several antique shops in the area and found what we were looking for at Elmdale School Antiques just off of Hwy 45 outside of Clintonville. It is indeed an old school house that they have turned into an antique store and there are many finds to be had. We have also taken in and acquired some of our treasures from Danes Home Antiques in Waupaca. The Danes Home is in a beautifully restored building in downtown Waupaca, it is three floors of consignment antiques, lighting, accessories, doors, hardware and many other interesting treasures. You not only can check out all the wonderful finds, yet also appreciate the architecture and restoration. A spot that is open again, after being closed for 10 years is The House of George antiques, located at N2601 Cty Hwy QQ, 1 block south of The King Veteran's Home, they have finished remodeling their 92 year old building and encourage you to come and check it out. They also offer framing and bindery and Victorian books. Check out their website http://thehouseofgeorge.com/ for more details.
There are always finds and hidden gems to be had all over Waupaca County, these are just a few. Come and explore for yourself and see what hidden treasures lie in Waupaca County.

Signed Contracts to Buy U.S. Homes Dips Slightly
WASHINGTON (AP) - A measure of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes fell only slightly in February to the second-highest level in nearly three years. The report suggests sales of previously occupied homes will keep rising in the coming months.
The National Association of Realtors says its seasonally adjusted index for pending home sales fell to 104.8 in February. That's down from 105.2 in January, which was the highest reading since April 2010, when a homebuyer's tax credit was boosting sales.
There is generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale. In February, completed sales of previously occupied homes rose to the fastest pace in more than three years. The gains in both signed contracts and completed sales point to a housing recovery that is strengthening.

New Late-Night Spots in D.C.
A new slate of after-hours restaurants and bars is turning the nation's capital into a hip night spot, and keeping the locals out late.
It's 8 p.m. on a Friday, and a fashionable group of men and women is sitting around the pewter bar at Proof on Washington, D.C.'s G Street. "Do you cook?" asks a 30-something lawyer with shaggy black hair as she tilts a glass of red wine toward the guy next to her.
"If my apartment had come without a kitchen," he replies with a grin, "I wouldn't have noticed." Everyone laughs knowingly.
In the last few years, as more young professionals and empty nesters have bought homes in the nation's capital, D.C. has shifted from being a city of chilly Federal buildings to a place where cutting-edge restaurants, late-night cafés, and underground bars open more frequently than local politicians are busted for scandals.
Brasserie Beck is one of several large, bistro-style restaurants that debuted last year. Designed to look like a train terminal, Beck runs about the length of a block, with train-station clocks set to different time zones. The 100-beer selection is equally impressive: There are nine on draft, such as Campus, a pilsner from Belgium that's exclusive to Beck. The menu--steamed mussels served with frites, duck almondine--was crafted by chef Robert Wiedmaier, who also opened Marcel's, the city's premier French restaurant.
Central Michel Richard, started by the chef who made Citronelle one of the nation's top restaurants, has a playful interior, with leaning towers of plates stacked around the dining room. The bistro is often populated with D.C. celebrities--that is, lobbyists, lawmakers, and media types--who like to rev up an evening at the marble bar with a clementine mimosa. But the real draw is Richard's food, which comes with a more reasonable price tag than Citronelle's. Most of the dishes, from a "faux gras" terrine (made with chicken) to braised rabbit with spaetzle, don't top $20.
Just north is the historic corridor of U Street. Classic pit stops like Ben's Chili Bowl, a diner that's been around since 1958, are wedged between old and new clubs that play host to jazz musicians. In the 1930s, Duke Ellington often performed on U Street, then called Black Broadway. Some of the fiercest Saturday-night sessions are held at HR-57, which takes its name from a 1987 congressional directive that called on Americans to preserve jazz.
Right off U Street is Busboys and Poets, a bookstore that also has a café, a theater, a bar, and a restaurant that serves pizzas. At one end, hipsters browse for books near a photo collage of Martin Luther King Jr.; at the other, friends sip microbrews and watch a film about the Bush administration. Busboys and Poets is an homage to Langston Hughes, who rose to prominence in D.C. while working as a busboy.
The area of Adams Morgan has been undergoing its own renaissance. It's still popular with the college crowd, but there are now a few nightspots that appeal to a more sophisticated clientele. Bourbon, on 18th Street, is the place for bourbon aficionados: The 140-plus pours include a 16-year-old Black Maple Hill bourbon from Kentucky with hints of brown sugar.
One block west is another atypical retreat. Named after the Paris subway, Metropolitain is a subterranean bar (below a bistro named Napoleon) specializing in champagne and other sparkling wines. The decor is inspired by the 1970s, with gold-and-white wallpaper and cushiony leather couches--but there's no sitting around after 10 p.m., when DJs spin disco.
Champagne also gets prime placement at Proof, where some 40 bottles of bubbly and wine are available in pours ranging from two to eight ounces. Portraits of George Washington and Hillary Clinton flash across flat-screens above the bar. Proof, like many things in the nation's capital, was inspired by the founding fathers. In this case, it's a nod to Benjamin Franklin, whom the bar quotes as saying, "Wine is proof that God loves us."

can i just write but and you'll know what i mean? i just met too many who mattered. and then what if i forget one in my summary? that would be a bad.
let me try, though. if i get overwhelmed, i'm just going to stop. is this okay? say yes.
so i walked into the lobby of the grand america to a sea of smiling faces. best. employees. ever.
after i checked in, i strolled over to the bar and was immediately accosted by a sparkle of a sprite in most excellent boots. all i heard was KAREY MACKIN INK! I LOVE YOU! she hooked her arms 'round my neck and i think we spun in a circle and my right foot might have lifted up with love.
hi erin.
{in other news, i'm seriously considering changing my name to karey m. ink. you may pronounce my new last name mink.}
kelly's over there! she pointed, knowing i'd be looking for my design crush. one glass of white later, i'd met some of my new favorites: and kathleen, amy, and capree. and, yes, i will forever in my head call her and kathleen. you should, too. also? ab chao has the cutest accent ever. one that makes you want to call her anna beth, all louisiana-like.
this is boring, isn't it? okay, then. i'll just tell you some of my highlights.
i love how completely naughty amy is just as much as i love how she sat in the front row of my panel with tears in her eyes for the entire hour. i told her she reminds me of my sister in all the best ways, and she teared right up again. i love how suann grabs my arm really really hard when she laughs, and you should know that she laughs all. the. time. even when the tip of her foot is stuck in the elevator doors and i'm pushing the door close buttons as hard as i can to save her.
those darn arrows always confuse me.
i love how melissa went home a day early to be with her baby, gaia miette. how alexis has a trio of chanel bracelets handed down to her by her mom. how caitlin's must've worked extra hard on her to make a girl so full of grace, it's almost unfathomable.
good moms, man. they get me every time.
there was erin's giant smile and legs that never end, paling only in comparison to her ability to make you feel like the only one in every room. jeanne's blonde mane that kind of drove me to covet. christy pretending she wanted a photo with me...while she was waiting patiently for stephanie's never-ending line to wind down. i liked giggling with that girl. i also liked not being disappointed; marta is even better than her blog, trina is honestly la la lovely, and brandi is a keeper and not at all your average ordinary.
i found friends that made me want to move to boston. pronto. paige's smile is one of the most authentic that's ever shined on me, and christine's red lipstick made me want to kiss her. plus also, there was this weird love at first sight thing going on with the three of us. so cool when that happens, isn't it?
speaking of brilliant supermodels, there's my fave kirsten. everyone knows how i despise pictures of myself {i'm way cuter in my imagination!}, but i love love love how happy i look standing next to her in this one. ages ago, joslyn was in a dwell contest, if i remember correctly, and her main competition was this chick from simply grove. it was before we met, kirsten and i, and now i regret not voting for her, too. i would've.
i'm missing a million more, from the genius kirtsy girls to...to...ohmygosh. i just totally lost focus. let me publish this one, and i'll add more when my mind unfogs.
do you really think my mind will ever unfog? ugh. that's another post altogether. catch you later, friends. all photos stolen from jamie flannigan's pinterest. i hope she doesn't mind! xoxo.

Saturday, October 19th brought a park full of Vintage BMWs together for the SoCal Vintage BMW Meet 2013. Anything from a rare 3.0 CS to the loved 2002 lined Woodley Park in wonderful Vintage charm. Past ogling over the cars displayed there was also a 'best of' competition with various categories - you will see some of the winners below. Whatever your preference there was something for everyone and it was a great way to spend a sunny Southern California Saturday.
We brought you general show coverage from the Los Angeles, CA car show as well as a top list of the best 2002s from the show. While there we also found several wonderful examples of the highest performance offerings from the Bavarian Automaker. M signifies incredible performance and the top tier of the BMW lineup. Below we have found five favorites from the vintage meet to share with you. Some flawless, others daily drivers. Whatever the use, we found this collection to be impressive. Let us know which is your favorite in the comment section below.
'People's choice for Best 6 & 7 Series'
...I had a Lexus before and they're a responsible car but kind of a boring to drive. It's not like a BMW.
This car not only won 'People's choice for Best 6 & 7 Series' but won us over as well. In a bright red paint, the car is mostly all original expect for a chip installed, cam sprockets, BBS wheels, and a short throw shifter. The front seats have also been redone and the hood repainted. Only owning the car for about a year, Rick, the owner, mentioned that the previous owner had the car for 19 years and took very good care of it. "Everything that goes wrong with these cars was done. And I was fortunate enough to find this," said Rick - the previous owner had even gone through the seals, driveshaft and transmission also installing a new clutch.
"I had a 635 years ago and I miss that car. I kick myself for selling it so I decided to start looking again and I looked at several before I bought this one," Rick mentioned. This being his fifth BMW, he obviously has a love for the Bavarian Motor Company. "It's much more fun to drive. I have to say, I had a Lexus before and they're a responsible car but kind of a boring to drive. It's not like a BMW." But unlike some others on the list, "It's a Sunday car and never sees a parking lot."
Someone offered me $75000 and I told them no. To me it is worth way more.
As soon as this bright white beauty drove in we were in love. More aggressive looking than your average '89 M3, the owner says this car was imported from Europe and found by a friend of his father. The fact that this car was imported makes it more rare than others and its stance looks track ready. "I've tracked it once, when I was 15, but I'll never track it again. I have other track cars that I take out," says Alec the owner.
Alec has done a little work to it including minor engine modifications including exhaust, a lot of suspension work, a larger lip to accommodate bigger wheels and more. "This car is like an icon, it's an amazing car. Someone offered me $75000 and I told them no. To me it is worth way more."
It's a labor of love, a lot of money and it's a great car. It's a really fun car to drive...
The owner of this car was harder to track down than the rest, but after asking the right people we found him. Jeff, the owner, purchased the car about five years ago out of Portland, Oregon. The motor is where most of the modifications take place. A 3.96 stroker motor transplanted from a previous M5, the bottom end has been recently refreshed. It includes JE pistons, custom exhaust, upgraded cams, and a lot of work went into the head. With 108000 original miles, there is much life left.
"It's a labor of love, a lot of money and it's a great car. It's a really fun car to drive; that's the best thing about it," Jeff commented. He has taken the car to Monterey for the Car Week for the past three years and has won best M5 for the past two. "I've probably retired from car show circuit. Now my goal is to just drive it and enjoy it." While the car is perfect and just calls to be shown, Jeff seems satisfied with the recognition and trophies he's accumulated. "I had a vision in mind, and this is exactly it."
1985 BMW M535i
I enjoy driving it, it's a blast. I've had to do some work to it, but it's a work in progress.
This Arctic Blue M535i was a grey market import from Germany. Imported about a month or two after production, the owner says it was always meant to be a US car. After coming to California in the early '90s, the owner Vincent said all the work was done once it arrived. A full suspension upgrade, 5-speed conversion, repainted (same color but fresh paint), while the interior is still all original.
Purchased in 2010, Vincent has been enjoying his car ever since. With 188000 original miles on tap, we can only imagine how much fun it is to drive. "I enjoy driving it, it's a blast. I've had to do some work to it, but it's a work in progress."
It's a joy to drive. It pulls through the gears and puts a smile on your face.
What attracted us to this M5 was that the entire family came out to enjoy the show. We caught the owner just as he and his family were heading back home. Acquiring the car in 2011, Ricky, the owner, commented, "I always wanted one since high school. I wanted a 2002 back then and then the M5 came out and I said, one of these days I'm going to have an M5." Major modifications include upgraded cams and a chip for the ECU.
Ricky uses the car as a daily driver while also owning several other fun Bavarian toys: '88 535is, '87 325is, a few 7-Series and a 325. When speaking about how it drives, Ricky said, "It's a joy to drive. It pulls through the gears and puts a smile on your face." It's obvious how much this car is loved and Ricky even added, "It's a dream car and I finally got it."
We hope you enjoyed this list of top M cars from the SoCal Vintage BMW Meet 2013. If this list or the others we have shared inspire you to own a vintage car the only advice we have for you is: prepare for a lot of work, time and best of all the love of your automobile. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the show and cannot wait for next year.

Hey guys..
As far as I can see the college I'm about to attend in around 21 days has an Secular Student Alliance and a GBLT group. I signed up online and I really don't know what to expect. I didn't tell my parents yet because even though I came out to them about being an atheist and my orientation, I still feel very uncomfortable talking about it. I know my mom and dad wouldn't really like me being apart of the SSA but I don't know what they'd think about me joining the GBLT group. I've never been in a group before and I am not sure how the work load of college will be on me. School hasn't started yet, and I can pull myself out of these groups while there is time. By the way, the GBLT group has about 110 member but there's only 20 for the SSA.
Starting the semester with 5 classes is what I decided to do so am I going too fast? Should I pull out and wait? I don't think I have the confidence to go to those groups because I feel so worried about letting my parents down. Also around large groups, my nerves start acting up. Finally, I wanted to add that I don't feel like I'd be successful in a group because I'm too freaking' awkward and weird.
Don't know what to do.. Help...! :'(

I presume you are attending college for the first time. I remember the start of my life out in the real world on my own. The unknowns are many and the uncertainty is large, but the opportunities are equal to all the unknowns and uncertainties. I'd keep my class load a little on the light side at first while you get used to things - the competition is much higher so classes will be more challenging. Your early college days are likely to find some of your best friends and they will help make your experience that much more rewarding.
It sounds to me that you are feeling overwhelmed by the unknowns ahead of you, but I think if you take an occasional deep breath that you'll find the experiences awaiting you to be some of the most rewarding. Best of luck.
...too freaking' awkward and weird?
Ari, consider science, mathematics or art.
Or something more ordinary than those and then medical or law school.
Or better, sample as many subjects as you can and stay with the one you like most.
Lots of people change careers in their early 40s and any kids they had are leaving.
Ari, here's a tactic I have when I'm uncertain whether to proceed in a certain direction. I treat it as an experiment. It seems like I'll never know until I try. Therefore I try, and so find out more information and use the experience as knowledge for next time.
I took about 12 hours of classes when I first started. Just getting yourself to the classes and finishing the home work can streach you...
My freshmen year of college I took about 5 classes as well. They were all science, math and 1 English course. I never had any time, and the only free time I had, was on the weekends. So it all comes down to your course load and and how much work you are willing to put in it. If you think you can manage your time without sacrificing your study time, then go for it, if not then stay away from it for at least the first semester. Also you can talk to the club members and let them know of your situation, I am sure they will understand and will be ok if you come to the club meetings and events whenever you can, instead of going for the weekly routine meetings.
As for being nervous and anxious, do not worry about it. Almost all the students feel the same way as you. Even I did once when I first went to college. The fear of the unknown, especially stepping out in the real world for the first time, can be very frightening. But you have nothing to worry. Everyone in freshmen year will face almost the same fears, and in that fear, people will look to each other for friendship. Everyone is trying to make friendsbecause nobody wants to face freshmen year by themselves, so that will be a great opportunity for you to go make new friends in college. Don't by shy, be confident in yourself.
I don't know how much obligation those groups expect from their members, but I imagine they would be okay with it if you just went to the first one or two meetings to see if it was right for you, or if you are able to balance it with your coursework and then decided. (If they do expect 100% commitment from the moment you sign up, then it's probably best to wait a semester and take it slow, like you said.)
As far as feeling awkward in group situations...I totally get it. I'm very shy, and had a lot of trouble making friends my freshman year. I mean, I was pretty miserable those entire two semesters. BUT I hung in there, and the next year I changed dorms and made some of my best friends whom I still keep in contact with. If you're living in a dorm, your RA could be a good resource if you're feeling overwhelmed or lonely. After all, they're there to help you make the transition easier! I believe most schools offer free counseling too if you need someone to talk to confidentially, or if you don't feel comfortable going to your RA.
Good luck!!
If you aren't studying medicine, law, science or engineering you will definitely have free time ... perhaps even TONS of free time.
I am have started back to school after many years of being out of it so I can understand the stress that you are under and the pressures that you feel. College can be hard just on its own, but it seems that there is more to your stresses than just the class load. My best advice is two part.
1. It is always beneficial to have a support structure to aid you in times of struggle but be careful who you choose to be a part of that support structure as there are those who prey on individuals who are looking for support, Keep checking in on those groups to see what actives they have or are doing to get a feel for them and see if they are right for you.
2. Any advice is only someones opinion on a situation or how they feel they might go about things in that situation. My advice as well as anyone's advice should be analyzed critically before judgement passed or action taken.
The point of college is to learn, discover, and grow both in knowledge and as a person. If this is your goal then you will not only do fine ,but will do great. As others have put here I too think you will have a great time. Oh and as support structures go, look at how much support you got here, so if you need any support I am sure everyone here would welcome you anytime.
You're going to have an awesome time at College Ari. Most of us would sell our non-existant soul to go back and start college all over again. So jelous. Have fun Ari!!!!!!
I predict you'll feel awesome about it as soon as you meet these people. And it's not like a commitment to the military, or having to wear a scarlet letter at home because of it. Just spend as much time with them as you want to. Also, a percentage of them, like all people in society, will carry their personal problems around with them, so be able to just avoid anyone who gets over-emotional, or makes you feel uncomfortable. I even asked my straight girls to not let guys steal too much focus away from their studies. If you're not experienced with emotional attachments, just be as mindful as you can about what's happening.

Animal Collective | WIG216 | Released: 12/01/09
Merriweather Post Pavilion is the ninth studio album from Animal Collective, recorded with Ben Allen in Oxford, Mississippi. After listening to this record, however, it's clear that Animal Collective have transcended the everyday realities of numbers, locations and people and arrived at a spectacular, unique place. Animal Collective have made a universal record that makes the same beautiful sense on headphones by day, or soundtracking the small hours of the morning / night, or, you suspect, stretched out in a field on your back. Whether a state of mind, or a rest stop somewhere along the way, Merriweather Post Pavilion magnificently redefines your sense of direction.
Located in different continents, Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Deakin (who is absent from this record) and Geologist, having operated in their unique way since their inception, have now arrived at a point where their inner logic makes perfect sense on the wide screen. Throughout Merriweather Post Pavilion, Panda Bear and Avey Tare sing in a newfound clarity, enraptured by the possibilities of the sound they're making. Immediate and blissful, the songs ring out with questions and declarations. Who needs choruses when you can find your own answers in the kaleidoscopic exhilaration of these tracks.
Animal Collective are now something of a talismanic force among both their peers and the bands their working methods have influenced. Listening to Merriweather Post Pavilion you'll hear echoes of everything they've recorded to date, especially the mesmeric and melodic repetition of Panda Bear's last solo opus Person Pitch. The whoops and hollers that have previously held together the sublime, chaotic urgency of their earlier work, now signal the calm sense of euphoria and wonder that ripples through this wide eyed record. As if, by stopping for a moment, the band have caught up with themselves, looked around, smiled, and cut seriously loose.
From the opening echoes and drum roll of "In The Flowers" to the crazy-happy rhythms of the closing "Brother Sport", Merriweather Post Pavilion is, in every sense, a classic album. This record feels like a defining moment for Animal Collective, their generation and these times. Linear, wild and beautiful it's the sound of a band waiting, with arms open wide, to tell you about what they've found. And it's something pretty special.
