Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham is a whiz in the kitchen and even went to culinary school to become a chef. She can create all kinds of food magic, but it sounds like one of her favorite things is to trick her 3-year-old daughter Sophia into eating her veggies.
She blends Brussels sprouts into fruit dips and greens into meatballs and she says it's a "parent's job" to make their kids more adventurous eaters. More power to her that she is trying to get her daughter to be healthy, but let's not pretend that she is advancing her taste buds. That's just not realistic.
As the mother of two very picky children, I feel the pain of moms everywhere who want to get our kids to eat their green vegetables. I have mixed kale into smoothies to cover the taste and done some sneaky things with applesauce in baked goods and veggie pastas, all in the interest of increasing my kid's vitamin intake. But I don't pretend for a moment that it is to help them become less picky.
In fact, if anything, it makes things WORSE. The kids learn to expect everything to taste good and they don't develop diverse taste buds and mom works overtime trying to blend and chop and disguise.
After years of this stress myself, I finally just decided to focus on what they DO like. They eat a lot of the same things -- beans, cheese, rice, broccoli, healthy breaded chicken, nitrate-free hot dogs, and veggie pasta. They also get a lot of fruit as a side dish since both my kids love fruit.
To me, it's more important to get them to try the real foods on their own then to try to hide them. If they won't eat Brussels sprouts after they try them, then I can at least feed them broccoli and know they had something green.
My hope is that at some point their taste will mature and they will like to eat their veggies on their own. But I am not going to hide it in the hopes that they will like it. It's too much work, dishonest, and ultimately ineffective. It sets the bar too high on taste and kids aren't "developing" anything but the expectation that all food should taste a certain way.
Do you hide healthy foods in other foods?

My eldest is veg-averse. She's 17, so I hope her tastes change in a few years. For now, I hide the veg where I can get away with it - veg purée in meatloaf and pasta sauce, a bit of puréed cauliflower mixed in with her mashed potato. She wants to teach English in Japan, so I have a feeling she's going to have to expand her palette eventually out of sheer hunger.
I did things differently with the younger two. When my now-3 and 5 year olds were babies starting on puréed food, I never gave them fruit. I wouldn't even mix it with cereal - they got green beans or mixed vegetables stirred in. I stayed away from most fruit when I was nursing them, too. It sounds insane (IS insane), but I think it got them acclimated to vegetables very early on. I don't have any problems getting them to eat vegetables, of all colors and in their obvious forms, at 3 and 5. At mealtime, they typically finish their veg first and ask for more - makes me wonder sometimes if they weren't swapped for pod-children by aliens.
Suzy, my son ALWAYS refused orange vegetables! But he loves orange slices and clementines.

I'm looking forward to the new year. This is mainly because, as a writer, 2013 was for the most part a bust. Without exception, I kicked every writing goal I set for myself to the curb this past year. So in this light, 2014 is guaranteed to be a success. Right?
I know it's dangerous, but I'm going to set some of my goals down here for all to see. Accountability and all that. So without further
procrastination ado, here they are.

What Drives a Mom to Kill Her Kids?
Following the news of a Kentucky mother who allegedly murdered her kids, Friend of Momâ¢Logic Counseling Mom discusses moms on the brink.
After Louisville resident Gail Lynn Coontz was charged with killing her 14-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter, Momâ¢Logic asked Counseling Mom, Rosanne Tobey, for her perspective.
Rosanne says Moms who commit this type of extreme crime most often suffer from mental illness.
But she points out that many other Moms face daily frustrations that if not handled carefully, could result in unintended child abuse. Here are her tips for staying cool when kids push moms too far.
1. Give yourself a time out. Be aware of your emotional state and know when it's time to take a break. Ideally, before you have lost your temper, put your child in a safe place and walk away. Go to your room, go outside, wherever you can and cool down.
2. Do not handle your child in anger. Once you have lost your temper, do not hit them, do not pick them up, do not change their diaper. Again, find yourself a place to get away very quickly and collect your thoughts.
3. Try to maintain perspective. Remember that what is going on in the moment seems really important, but in reality, it is not. It just feels that way because you are caught up in the emotion of it.
4. If you are still about to explode, get help. Call someone! Do not let the situation continue to play out. It's best if you can make arrangements for who to call before a situation like this arises. Then, post a note with that person's number on it near the phone to remind yourself to reach out when you
need help.
Perhaps this tragic case involves an antidepessant, especially an SSRI antidepressant like Prozac, Zooft or Paxil.
Go to: www.SSRIstories.com to view over 2,200 other tragic cases involving these SSRIs. The full media article is available.
all you give is tips to controll your self. she killed her children and all you want to do is dismiss it. she has and had no right to see if the little ones should live or die. and people saying that it might be antidepessants that mad her do it is giving her another way to feel like its not her fault.want she did was and is wrong. don't dismisss it.!
you cant always blame it on a antidepressant

Nicki Minaj obviously had some time on her hands last night (January 9) because the femcee went on a sexy selfie spree, uploading six raunchy pics to Instagram. This is not exactly unusual behavior from the social media sexpert but the images were less flattering than usual.
It might have been the fuzzy filter or the lighting but rap goddess looks more scary than sexy as she grabs her breasts and sticks her fingers in her mouth. On the bright side, there are a couple of cute ones of Nicki smiling and her manicure is on point.

Enbridge's 2013 Strategic Plan, unveiled in October, provides a five-year road map to the future, and sets out the various actions required for Enbridge to achieve its vision of becoming the leading energy delivery company in North America.
Global energy demand will continue to grow, driven by emerging markets such as China and India, while new technology is now driving significant growth in North American oil and gas production – creating significant price dislocations for North American product. These dislocations call for new energy infrastructure to connect new sources of supply with appropriate markets – and Enbridge is well-positioned to create that infrastructure and open up access to new markets, both in North America and offshore.
At the same time, public expectations surrounding energy infrastructure development have evolved dramatically in a short period of time. Demonstrating the need or the economic benefits of a project, and gaining regulatory approval, is not enough to attain public support; the public wants energy companies to demonstrate the safety and environmental protection measures included in their projects. The ultimate goal is sustainable development – and Enbridge aims to secure the No. 1 industry position rankings in system safety and reliability, environmental protection, and worker safety by 2015.
Enbridge's enterprise-wide growth capital program includes a $36-billion inventory of commercially secured projects, as of March 2014, to drive the company's near-term strategic priorities and initiatives.
Enbridge also has $7-billion in additional potential capital projects, which may further extend the company's growth beyond its five-year plan.
The 2013 Strategic Plan portrays a very favorable outcome for Enbridge and its investors over the next five years, with an anticipated average annual EPS (earnings per share) growth rate of 10 to 12 per cent.
The vast majority of this growth will be provided by existing businesses and secured growth projects, and is not expected to depend on the assumed additional opportunities to be secured.
1) Commitment to Safety and Operational Reliability
2) Execution
Delivery of Enbridge's growing slate of commercially secured projects is critical. Successful execution will require:
3) Securing the Longer-Term Future
4) Maintaining the Foundation
Achieving success means Enbridge needs to maintain a strong organizational and cultural foundation. This will require:
Enbridge Pipelines Inc. (incl. Norman Wells Pipeline)
Enbridge Pipelines (Saskatchewan) Inc.
Enbridge Pipelines (Athabasca) Inc.

The following shows have received ratings of at least four stars from Times readers.BROADWAY OFF BROADWAY

October 23rd, 201312:32 pm
Dee Dee performed amazingly- talent, realism, versitility and nimbleness. Her changing of voices from Billie to street people to police officers was incredible. Her acting was superb as well. I agree that she would be nominated for a Tony if on Broadway.The uncomfortableness with her life was prevalent, however it was her life. Do the negative reviewers want a frosting coated version? The musians were topnotch on their own particularly Bill Jolly- he was THE performer next to Bridgewater.

Context is everything. This show is a retrospective of both Billie Holiday's life and music---the two cannot be separated. Combining them works even if the life events evoke discomfort in some folks. I particularly enjoyed the on stage band which provided excellent backup for the singing. Well done.

Singing and jazz quartet were amazing. Unfortunately, the writing and acting were not. Love Lady Day, but did not love this performance as a whole.
— Renee M, Great Neck
October 7th, 20131:32 pm
DeeDee Bridgewater was absolutely amazing as Billie Holiday - she surely put her heart and soul in her performance and if this show was on Broadway she deserves a Tony!! I know her as a great jazz singer but she can act too! I definitely recommend this show.

If all of those who hated this production just wanted to hear Billie sing, there are numerous recording companies that Billie's catalogs are on, why spend the $$$ to come a show in the first place and walk out? Lady Day is advertised as a musical biography. I am very confused with this review. The show is ahead of it is time regarding the "demons" factor; a catchphrase in today's world when tragedy takes hold of a genius in the prime of their life. It's either demons or they are troubled. I loved this project not so much because of Billie or Dee Dee's singing; but for the demons excellently portrayed by Ms. Bridgewater and not for the typical over blown rage. Billie boozes herself up and confides in her audience in this production. I guess many of the haters would rather see and hear an over the rainbow fantasy that was not Billie's life.
Lady Day is not only about Billie Holiday, it is also about a time in America where there was crippling racism from outside the Black community, self-hatred inside the Black community. Realistic and not over the top acted regarding anybody caught up in a situation where they were not supposed to be and something horrible happens, and to add misery to the wound, a fluke society system that even though Billie was under age and raped, incarcerates the victim that is a minor offering no mental guidance. When children get raped they bleed, many do not understand what is going on. I commend the whole production for shining a light on were society has been and where it is today. No, people that experience crippling racism just do not go under a rock and vanished, it affects them mentally. The Black community shielded the constant bombardment of racial attacks for Black citizens in those years, but Billie's world was not just living in the Black community. She had a public identity. The society that condoned victim incarceration should be put onstage and this mirror of the aftermath of its ways should be made public

An excellent play with music that digs beneath the surface to reveal the thrust behind Billie Holiday's vocal gifts.
One wishes, however, that Times scribe Charles Isherwood would find success as a creative writer, whether of novels, plays, children's books, haiku.... anything. Maybe then he wouldn't feel the need to eviscerate other writers who do put their work on the line. Nothing is as boring as a bitter critic.
There is one example of Mr. Isherwood's artistic pen for the world to feast on - "Wonder Bread & Ecstasy: The Life and Death of Joey Stefano," a biography of the late gay porn star who was famous for being a "power bottom." With such highbrow literary aspirations, I guess one can appreciate Mr. Isherwood's distress at being obligated to assess the toiling of mere playwrights.

Dee Dee Bridgewater is an extraordinary Holiday. Her voice is incredible and her portrayal is so convincing it feels like you're actually watching a live performance. I was spellbound from the moment she hit the stage.

Dee Dee Bridgewater shows that she is a superb actress as well as a talented jazz singer. She did such an amazing job of channelling Billie Holiday that I felt transported in time, and felt what the original audiences must have felt back in the 1940's. No one else could have achieved this.
— Mppan, Singapore
September 24th, 201310:48 am
Of course Dee Dee Bridgewater gives a wonderful performance. Unfortunately the book of this musical is a mess. Act I is fine, but Act II is a complete train wreck. It was painful to sit through this – wonderful star, songs, and subject matter – all the material for great theater, but poorly conceived. There were quite a few walk-outs, i wish I was one of them.
— DG, New York, NY
September 22nd, 20136:20 pm
DeeDee Bridgewater gives an achingly, brilliant performance as Lady Day, allowing us a window into Holiday's soul and memories as she rehearses in Act One, then deteriorates in Act 2 on a London stage from a toxic, lifelong blend of drugs, alcohol and childhood trauma. She plays with the audience, alternating between singing and speaking either intimately or provocatively, and confiding with us about the legal reasons as to why she can't perform in the US, to which she is desperate to return. Bridgewater is extraordinary in vocally channeling Holiday's voice, while adding a deep and poignant dimension to the particular meaning (to her) of multiple songs we Holiday fans have heard hundreds of times. My small group of Lady Day approached the show with apprehension, but were not disappointed, Bridgewater rose triumphantly to the challenge of portraying Lady Day far beyond expectation. Unfortunately miscast was Holiday's gay best friend and manager, Robert, played by David Ayers, who never broadcast "gay" and worse, lacked any chemistry with Bridgewater. The band was superb, and once the sound volume was corrected in the second act, the audience leapt their feet with a resounding ovation as the curtain came down at the end of the show .

VIDEO: High-Speed Pursuit In N.C.
A high-speed vehicle pursuit through rural Burke County, N.C., earlier this month ended with a suspect being taken into custody on the hood of the lead pursuing cruiser.
The pursuit began after Morganton Police Department officers responded to a call about a suspicious car in the parking lot of the Christian Outreach Center on May 2.
Officers recognized the vehicle as being wanted from an earlier crime and initiated a traffic stop of the green sedan. The suspect's vehicle pulled over just long enough for officers to exit two units. An engine revving can be heard on patrol-car video, as the suspect takes off on Highway 70.
The suspects blow stop signs and reach speeds exceeding 80 mph before pulling to a stop near a market. Donelle Nicholas Cuthbertson jumps out of the vehicle's passenger-side door. A plainclothes officer can be seen taking Cuthbertson into custody.
Vehicles from other law enforcement agencies blocked off intersections to keep the road clear until the suspect could be apprehended, reports the Hickory Record.

Xat'sull Chief Bev Sellars spent her childhood in a church-run residential school whose aim it was to "civilize" Native children through Christian teachings, forced separation from family and culture, and discipline. In addition, beginning at the age of five, Sellars was isolated for two years at Coqualeetza Indian Turberculosis Hospital in Sardis, British Columbia, nearly six hours' drive from home. The trauma of these experiences has reverberated throughout her life.
The first full-length memoir to be published out of St. Joseph's Mission at Williams Lake, BC, Sellars tells of three generations of women who attended the school, interweaving the personal histories of her grandmother and her mother with her own. She tells of hunger, forced labour, and physical beatings, often with a leather strap, and also of the demand for conformity in a culturally alien institution where children were confined and denigrated for failure to be White and Roman Catholic.
Like Native children forced by law to attend schools across Canada and the United States, Sellars and other students of St. Joseph's Mission were allowed home only for two months in the summer and for two weeks at Christmas. The rest of the year they lived, worked, and studied at the school. St. Joseph's mission is the site of the controversial and well-publicized sex-related offences of Bishop Hubert O'Connor, which took place during Sellars's student days, between 1962 and 1967, when O'Connor was the school principal. After the school's closure, those who had been forced to attend came from surrounding reserves and smashed windows, tore doors and cabinets from the wall, and broke anything that could be broken. Overnight their anger turned a site of shameful memory into a pile of rubble.
In this frank and poignant memoir, Sellars breaks her silence about the institution's lasting effects, and eloquently articulates her own path to healing.

text: On Thursday, November 17th, 2011, Occupy Chicago will engage in a mass action as part of the National Day of Action! 3:30PM Standup! Chicago action (Thompson Center) 5:30PM Occupy Chicago action (Chicago Board of Trade, Jackson & Lasalle) 7:00PM General Assembly (Bowman Statue, Michigan and Congress) Occupy groups and various organizations around the country will be engaging in various direct actions to stand up against the government and big businesses that are cutting our jobs and padding their payrolls! First, we will stand in solidarity with StandUp! Chicago at 3:30PM, at the Thompson Center, to demand jobs, not cuts, from our government! StandUp! Chicago has their own Direct Action planned at the end of this rally. After this action, we will reconvene at Jackson and Lasalle. UPDATE: In light of November 15th's police raid on Occupy Wall Street at Zuccotti Park in New York City and the widespread repercussions of that raid, as well as others around the country, November 17th's National Day of Action holds an importance to this global movement that can not be overstated. The Direct Action Committee encourages any and all participants on November 17th, the National Day of Action, to bring caution tape to Jackson & LaSalle at 5:30 pm for a simple and peaceful act of political theater. In the interest of keeping the action unpredictable and ensuring that the action has the greatest probability of success, specifics of the action will be detailed at the event itself. Additionally, if any participant can appear at Jackson & LaSalle dressed as a Monopoly banker, there will be a role for them to play in that action's political theater as well. WE ARE THE 99%! JOIN US ON THIS NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION! Date: Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - 11:15am Log in to post comments

Parkinson's disease appears to spread through the brain by means of a simple
yet insidious mechanism, according to research to be published Friday by
University of Pennsylvania scientists.
When molecules of a certain protein become corrupted in the brain, they can pass on their distorted shape to healthy proteins through nothing more than physical contact.
Like something out of a bad science-fiction movie, more healthy proteins latch onto the ones that have gone bad, adopting their "misfolded" configuration until deadly clumps build up in brain cell after brain cell, the Penn team found in its study of lab mice.
These clumps, known as Lewy bodies, were discovered long ago, but the authors -- led by the prominent neurobiologist Virginia M.-Y. Lee -- say they now have hard evidence that the clumps play some sort of causal role in the disease.
What's more, the researchers are optimistic they can stop it in its tracks, because the bad proteins may be vulnerable as they travel from one cell to the next.
Scientists have suspected for years that a number of brain diseases follow this infectious-like path. But experts not involved with the new paper say it makes an especially strong case -- at least with Parkinson's, which kills more than 20,000 people in the United States each year.
"This is, as far as I'm concerned, the most convincing evidence thus far that supports this hypothesis," said Robert Edwards, a professor of neurology at the University of California, San Francisco.
J. Paul Taylor, who studies brain diseases at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Tennessee, agreed with the Penn team that stopping the spread of the bad proteins seemed feasible, perhaps with a specially tailored antibody.
Indeed, Lee, who directs the Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research at Penn's Perelman School of Medicine, said she and her colleagues are testing that idea in mice.
"We can catch the bad proteins as they go from one neuron to another," Lee said.
She cautioned that while the bad proteins seem to have an infectious quality within the brain, there is no evidence that Parkinson's can be passed from person to person.
Lee's chief collaborator on the paper was Kelvin C. Luk, who was recently promoted to research assistant professor at Penn.
Also on the team was Lee's husband, John Q. Trojanowski. The pair are internationally known for a series of discoveries on Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Lou Gehrig's diseases -- any one of which would be a career-defining highlight for most scientists.
On Friday, the same day the new paper comes out, Lee and Trojanowski are receiving the John Scott Award, a science prize administered by the Board of Directors of City Trusts. They will be recognized in an evening ceremony at the American Philosophical Society, along with Princeton University physicist Paul J. Steinhardt.
Though there are drugs to ease the tremors and other symptoms of Parkinson's, it and the other neurodegenerative diseases have resisted efforts at a cure. That is partly because scientists have had trouble reproducing the diseases in lab animals, making it hard to test new drugs.
In the case of Parkinson's, for example, scientists have made mice with Lewy bodies, and they also have made mice with the other primary sign of the disease -- the loss of neurons that produce the vital brain chemical called dopamine. But they have been unable to make a mouse that develops both flaws -- until now, in the new research from Penn.
Once the mice were injected with a small sample of the corrupted proteins, called alpha-synuclein, they went on to develop Lewy bodies and their dopamine-producing neurons started to die. Also, they lost muscle strength and coordination, much like their human counterparts.
Still unknown is the process by which the proteins start to go bad, but once they do, a deadly cascade ensues, said Luk, the first author of the paper.
He said the reason the corrupted proteins can pass on their misfolded shape, apparently, is because healthy proteins are relatively flexible, whereas the distorted ones have a stable configuration.
"It actually somehow nudges the flexible, normal protein into adopting the same kind of shape," Luk said. "It's templating it, almost."
The Penn team previously observed this templating process in a test tube, but only now have shown that the spreading can occur in a brain.
Another possible explanation had been that the disease was triggered independently in many brain cells, due to some underlying problem.
But in the mice at Penn, the spread of disease was initiated with the injection of the bad proteins in just one region of the brain, the striatum.
Clumps of bad proteins eventually showed up in other brain regions that are connected to the striatum, including the amygdala and the substantia nigra -- the home of the cells that produce dopamine.
Within three months, about 15 percent of those cells had died. By six months, half of them were dead.
Lewy bodies are named for Friedrich Lewy, who discovered the protein clumps in Germany in 1912. Amid the rise of the Nazis, Lewy fled to England and moved to Philadelphia in 1934, where he later joined the Haverford Quaker community.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) ir...

While great strides have been made relative to the video aspects of remote collaboration, audio technology has basically stagnated. Typically all audio is mixed to a single monaural stream and emanates from a single point, such as a speakerphone or a speaker associated with a video monitor. This leads to confusion and lack of understanding among participants especially regarding who is actually speaking. Spatial teleconferencing introduces the concept of acoustic spatial separation between conference participants in three dimensional space. This has been shown to significantly improve comprehe...

Time will tell if the Montreal Canadiens made the right decision promoting the highly touted rookie goaltender Carey Price instead of Jaroslav Halak, the odd man out. Last night, Price made his debut in net for the Habs, a game that Halak must have been paying close attention to. Price had the pleasure of starting his first game versus the likes of Sidney Crosby, Mark Recchi and Evgeni Malkin but seemed unphased between the pipes. He stopped 26 out of 28 shots en route to his first NHL victory exactly 22 years to the night where Patrick Roy won his first game versus the same Pittsburgh Penguins.
The two netminders battled it out during training camp for the coveted backup spot behind Cristobal Huet on the Canadiens roster. On October 1st, 2007, it was announced that Price would obtain the spot, a decision that left many around the league shocked.
Halak was sent back down to the defending Calder Cup champions, Hamilton Bulldogs, a scene where only months before Price was getting another accolade – the Calder Cup playoff MVP. The 22-year-old Halak has had an impressive start to his career. After moving up the ranks in the hockey world, he made his debut with Hamilton in the 2005-06 season, playing in 13 games. The next year, the Slovakian native made 28 starts for the Bulldogs, 16 of them wins, prompting immediate attention from Canadiens.
On February 15th, 2007, Halak was called up to the Habs due to an injury to Huet. At that point, he was leading the way with a 2.00 goals-against-average in the American Hockey. Three days later, he made his debut in goal with the big club. In that game, he made 31 saves in a victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Halak would go on to make 16 starts for the Canadiens, ten of which were wins. He was also able to record two shutouts in his rookie campaign against their rival, the Boston Bruins. As he continues to hone his skills with the Bulldogs, he is already the subject of many trade rumors. Price may be getting all of the attention now, but Halak's time may be just around the corner.

This is great. I'd never brined anything before so I adapted the amounts in the recipe and did it on a 4 pound chicken and it came out delicious. The flavors really penetrated the chicken and the gravy was yummy. Everyone loved the trial run and are excited about Thanksgiving.

We loved this last year, and I am planning to make again this year!
RIBeth2 Posted: 11/20/10
We made this recipe in 2008 and 2009 and will make it again this year. The brine smells wonderful, and the bird is delicious! It has become my favorite recipe for turkey. We served it with chutney (from Roast Turkey with Onion and Cranberry Chutney) and the Spinach Salad with Gorgonzola, Pistachios, and Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette from the same November 2008 issue of Cooking Light.
SEROMEO Posted: 11/25/10
My husband said that this turkey was "love in his mouth". He is a hard person to cook for since his mother is so wonderful at it. So for our first Thanksgiving as a married couple I think I did well with this recipe! I did spread a little butter on the skin before baking but other than that I followed the recipe to a T.

NY Good Questions: How To Display My 8-Tracks?
Hello AT,
I have a huge collection of 8-track tapes...yeah I know they are relics, but I love them!
Currently I'm looking for a better way to store and display my collection.
At the moment they are just shoved into a bookcase, and I hate the way it looks.
Any stylish suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! Sue
20 Comments
So you've ruled out vintage 8-track cabinets that come with right-sized storage slots?
To tidy these up, you need a cabinet that has its shelves closer together, so that you're only stacking the 8-tracks about 4 high before the next shelf. You'd still have a solid wall of tapes, but they'd topple and shift less, so they'd look neater.
This strikes me as a job for IKEA, since it's a cinch to equip a Billy with lots of shelves run close together (just buy a few extra shelves), plus you can put doors on it. Putting at least some of the tapes behind doors would also tidy the look and keep dust off them; or you could use the translucent doors and put doors on the whole cabinet. That's not the only product that would do the job, but it's the kind of clean, modern solution that you most likely need.
First, replace the case with something taller, and with better sag support.
- Display a changing selection of your tapes face out, with coordinating geegaws.
- Read some bookcase ideas
-- Try shelving by color :-)
- Print out a listing of your collection -- one or two items per page -- with space for written annotations by you and guests for each item.
Dear AT:
I enjoy pieces on how people display their collections of odd stuff I'd never have thought but to throw away. But this isn't that. This is you giving someone the stage and the mic to ask your devoted audience how they should display a collection of something so irrelevant that its name is a euphemism for obsolescence.
We don't care about 8-Tracks. Sue does. We care about our apartments. Sue should either impress us with how she made them relevant in her environment or leave us be until she can. But please don't ask us to invest in a box of junk that even your most invested reader (Sue) hasn't figured out what to do with. A dumpster diver without any idea what to do with his finds is just a garbage collector.
So, to Sue I say: display your collection of 8-Tracks in a box on the curb. Maybe another ATer will find them and figure out a totally unexpected and interesting way to repurpose or display them and then impress us with their photos.
(But Sue, I'm not all that unkind. I'll give you 50c for the soundtrack from "Convoy.")
Whoever is not interested in 8-tracks is actually not forced to read the post (clearly labeled in the title), and can therefore avoid being both unkind and crabby.
Oh -- and one other thought -- if you go with a more flexible and nicer-looking bookcase, look for shelves that are about the same width as your 8-track spines. The narrowness of your shelves is part of why the current bookcase looks like it's going to collapse under its load -- you're picking up an optical illusion even if there's no actual sag.
I would pick a small selection of favourites and frame them in shadow boxes. Hang them in a grouping, and store the rest of the collection out of sight. Rotate in and out of frames at will.
It's about quality, not quantity, right?
The easiest, and cheapest thing to do, is arrange them by color. All the red labels together, etc. Then, if the range in colors is subtle enough, arrange the groups by color. (Pink next to red) After that, don't let the space be all about the tapes. Separate the tapes by square elements. (Craft stores like Michaels have really cheap vases in very interesting shapes. You could then fill the vases with solid color items.) If the shelves in the book case are adjustable by use of that vertical metal system, get more shelves. Note to Max Othermoxx, this site is about sharing expertise and passions, not bad moods.
wow, Max Othermoxx. take a pill.
one of the reasons i come to this site is for creative ideas on how to deal with my *stuff*. to see how other people handle issues connected to clutter, storage, decor, and style. i have exactly one (1) eight-track tape, so while i may not share sue's dilemma, i can take inspiration from the answers that address her problem. if you're so narrow minded that you can't see applicability of this storage solution to other areas, perhaps this isn't the site for you.
Oh Lois. Oh Joan. 'Tis the death knell of a good website, this sort of inflationary language. For a thing is to be called a "Good Question", it ought at least be a question, the answer to which we have once wondered at and the solution to which might be immediately useful to someone aside from she who posed it.
But, again, this is not that. This is a highly esoteric question which might prompt some interesting discussion about storing an item virtually no one has. And that in turn might be adaptable to other storage solutions for similar sized or shaped items (e.g., canned sardines) which belong in the same room of the house (scratch canned sardines). But have we really so exhausted our need for storage solutions for things people actually have that we are now moving onto items several degrees removed from what we have or care about?
I love this site, or I did. And I am surprised no one else sees that this is not a "Good Question." It is a request for help with a unique storage problem. Collectibles are interesting because the people who collect them make them interesting. I usually love seeing people's collections because their collectors' attention and devotion justifies their asking for my attention. But this collector has demonstrated neither attention nor devotion. She is asking for our help and has not done her part. This is where AT goes from being a useful interactive home/decor/lifestyle magazine to a highly esoteric hobbyist help page.
But if this is what AT is to become, shall we next ask our fellow readers to propose the best solutions for mounting the 8-Track player Sue removed from the dash of her father's 1977 Ford Truck alongside her B&O Stereo? Shall we spend some time on that too? Is that a "Good Question" too.
If we can't encourage quality control, oughtn't we at least ask that things be labelled correctly? It wasn't a good question. It was just a question.
i agree with wende on the billy shelves.
another fun idea (after arranging by color of course--black tapes at the bottom) would be to sort through the tapes and find ones that have particularly compelling graphics/colors and enlarge them on a color photocopier-- and use these to cover the doors (especially if you can find a case that has plain wooden shelves.)
or, make a display shelf on the front like "wretched to retro" in the january jumpstart that has a plexi pocket so you can "feature" a tape?
I have never held an 8-track in my hand or seen one in my entire life (CD girl) so I'm not sure what else to suggest... a library card cabinet?
File cabinet, organized by Artist
I would put a narrow shelf somewhere visible to showcase a few at a time, and put the rest in chest of drawers, away from view. Rotate a few times a month to showcase different tapes.
Thanks to everyone for their helpful suggestions, especially Wende. Your idea of putting shelves closer together is a great idea and seems to me to be the obvious solution. I didn't have this problem in my old aparment because it had lovely built in shelves with glass doors. But since I no longer have them I've been experimenting with ways to display them, and haven't been successful up to this point, which is why I came here in the first place.
I thought that this would be a great place to exchange ideas on how to improve my living space. I really didn't expect to be judged so harshly by Max. I know that many folks roll their eyes when I mention my 8-tracks, but seriously, the shelves made my place look messy and I was only looking for some creative ideas, not a criticism of my collection.
Oh, I forgot to mention in my last post that I'll be sure to post new pics of my collection, once I get new shelves. Thanks again to everyone who was so helpful!
I am sure Max will be available to help you sort your collection and make decisions about display priorities.
Unless you are going to re-label them all to make the spines match I suggest you house them in something with doors - in their current condition no matter what kind of shelves you put them on they are always going to look a mess - the same type of item you have now but with doors would eliminate your problem instantly.
Just because something is esoteric, it's still a fun problem, and I like seeing people apply their creativity here to all types of problems, from the common to the esoteric.
I would shelve them sideways in cd shelves, so the spines are vertical. I even have some old solid-wood cd shelves I was going to craigslist, so Sue, if you're interested, let me know.
oh, but you're in philly. i'm in NJ.
do you also have a collection of awesome 8-track players? i drool over those old panasonic ones.
Hi edgertor,
I used to have an old panasonic player (not working) but I ended up selling it on Ebay so that I could get a 2XL robot that plays 8tracks (something from my childhood, that I really wanted). Are you referring to the panasonic players that look like a detonator? They are the best. I also have a Weltron 2001 which looks like a giant bowling ball with a handle, and an Aquatron (which is also called the egg). The main reason I even collect the tapes is because of the really cool looking players, plus the fact that I love the music from that period as well!
i love the plunger kind and there were some others that the sound-holes for the speaker fanned out in a super MOD graduated dot pattern.
I gave up my 8 track collection a long time ago (keeping about 5-6 i feel sentimental about, the free jazz and new wave ones, and one of egyptian easy listening!) b/c i just didn't have the space any more.
would love to see your 8-track player collection displayed!
Once I get my 8tracks in order and have a nice display for the my players, I'll be sure to post some pics. I have hundreds of 8tracks, but I'm currently going through the collection and only keeping those tapes that I actually listen to...the rest are headed for Ebay.

I'm excited about today's post. It's a little different than what I've written in the past–what it does is lay a conceptual framework for the way that God and time interact, and then draws some truths from that. For ease of reading, I've put two headings in place: Conceptual Framework and Practical Application. As always, I want to hear your thoughts, reactions, things you liked or didn't like, and anything else. Comment, reach out on social media, or email me (firstname.lastname@example.com)! [And it is purely coincidental that this post on time comes the same weekend as the Doctor Who 50th anniversary]
There are three words that have gone down in history, oft quoted yet overlooked. These three words are powerful, and in them lies the key to understanding a profound truth about the nature of God's grace and forgiveness. The struggles, addictions, guilt, and shame that so many of us deal with find their end in these words.
When Jesus died on the cross, He did so as a substitution—no crime shall go unpunished, and His death opened a way for us to pass the guilt of our wrongdoing onto Him, where it was punished. This substitution allows us to walk away free under the payment Jesus made, if we enter into a relationship with Him. As Jesus breathed His last breath, undergoing the death penalty we were headed towards, He shouted out those three words in a visceral cry: It is finished.
Conceptual Framework
To better unpack why this is such a powerful statement, we must step back and examine the nature of time. God exists in veritable quantum state, both existing in and outside of time concurrently. He created all things, including the construct what we know as time, and thus is outside of it. This also reveals some truths about His nature (ie: Hebrews 13:8)
Even though God is outside of time, throughout the Bible there are references to God entering our plane and directly interacting with people and specific points in history. The clearest example of this is found in Jesus, who was both fully God and fully man; Jesus (God 'the Son') was solidly stuck in our timestream at the same time God (the Father) was still outside of time.
God, being outside of time, can see all things, past, present, and future. He is omnipotent—all knowing. A day is like a thousand years1, and a thousand years is like a day to Him2; they all lay before Him.
Imagine an old VHS cassette. If you were to pull the film out of that tape and stretch it out before you, you would have a million little pictures before you; every instant of that movie would be laid bare so you could peruse it at your leisure, viewing any scene you wanted to at any time. This is what time is like in relation to God. Tracking so far? Here's where it gets cool.
Jesus was God (the Son) stepping into the film strip of time. He lived and died and rose again, following the same progression of time as every human. When His sacrificial death had come unto Him, He said those three words we started off with: It is finished. The sacrificial work was done. The death penalty had just been fulfilled for all—past, present, and future, if they would accept it.
Practical Application
Growing up, I would sin and then I would ask for forgiveness from God. I believed that it was only after I had asked for forgiveness that I was cleaned. I was traveling through time, and as I made mistakes they were forgiven. I actually thought that if I died without having asked forgiveness for a sin, I would go to hell (this is quite similar to the train of thought that leads to priest's giving a last absolution to a dead man).
How does "It is finished" play into all of this? Jesus did not say "It has begun" because God's forgiveness is a final forgiveness—once and for all, the price was paid. When Jesus died, all sins were forgiven, contingent upon us accepting that forgiveness. It stands to reason that since God is outside of time, the sin that I commit tomorrow has already been forgiven, since time is not continually being created as we move forward (it is simply our perception of time moving that is happening). Jesus' death covers the sin I committed yesterday, but that was over 2000 years in the future when Jesus died; God's forgiveness isn't bound by time. I perceive my sin before I perceive my forgiveness, but the forgiveness happened 2000+ years ago.
Imagine that I am standing in front of a painting. There are lots of individual points on this painting, and I can see them all at once. If I was on one of those points, it would be impossible for me to see the whole picture all at the same time, but the points are still there. As I observe the painting, I throw my drink onto it, covering all of it in water. From the perspective of the point, it might look like only the visible points had been covered, but the water is all over the painting. This is what Jesus' death on the cross did. In that moment, it was as if a fountain of forgiveness exploded forth from that point and it covered the entire timeline (past, present, and future) all at once. It was one act and it is finished.
Because it is finished, all of my sins have been forgiven, and nothing can separate me from the love of God; every second of my existence has been saturated in His love and forgiveness. Because it is all forgiven, it does not matter if I enter into my relationship with God as a child or on my deathbed, because the forgiveness covers all moments equally, no matter when I step into it. (Matthew 20:1-16) Because it is all forgiven, there is now no condemnation in Christ Jesus!
While God does not rejoice when someone who knows Him sins, it doesn't even register on His radar because it is currently/has been/is being covered already! He forgave it "before it ever happened" (from our perspective). In Romans, Paul talks a lot about this. In chapters 5 and 6, he says:
"…where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that as sin reigned in death, grace might also reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. What shall we say then? Are we to continue to sin that grace may abound? By no means!"
Do you see how the nature of time and God's forgiveness dictates the flow of this passage? Where there was sin, there was even more grace, because it has all been forgiven—past, present, and future. Should we thus choose to sin repeatedly, so that there can be more forgiveness? No—sin is sin, regardless of whether it is forgiven or not. But it has already been forgiven, which leads to Paul's later conclusion:
"There is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death…Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died…." –Romans 8
"The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob; this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins." –Romans 11
Why is there no condemnation? Because all has already been forgiven. It is impossible to hold someone's sin against them if they have entered into a relationship with God, because that sin has been removed from them. John the Baptist told the onlookers to behold Jesus, who had come to take away the sins of the world. In one moment He took all sins from the world! As such, for one who is in a relationship with God, condemnation, self-hatred, or doubt of salvation have no place. Nothing can make us lose our salvation, because all has already been forgiven! Every sin we commit in the past, present, or future has been taken from us and washed clean, and when we enter into a relationship with God, we are stepping into that clean sinlessness.
Do we have a license to sin as we please because it has all been forgiven already? Not in the least—one of the signs that we are in a relationship with God is that we begin to align ourselves with Him and pursue the "desires of the Spirit" over the "desires of the flesh". To purposely disobey God in an attempt to cash in on His forgiveness is misguided and a slap in God's face. Will we sin? Yes—Paul talked about the struggle of living a simultaneously completely redeemed and fallen life (Romans 1-8), and it has been forgiven.
What ramifications does this truth hold for how we view ourselves? It refutes guilt and shame's place in our lives and any doctrine that would promote those stances in us. How might this change how we view and treat others? It has been forgiven, so who are we to hold a grudge or discriminate against something that God has forgiven and redeemed?
What a wonderful sentence: it is finished!
