[New York, the city that spawned it all, tops the list, followed by Tallahassee.]
"Clearly, Occupy has had little trouble in catching on. But given the movement's goals and characteristics, data suggest that some cities are particularly appropriate places for the Occupy movement to take hold. These metro areas have large proportions of younger adults—arguably the driving force behind the Occupy movement—as well as high income inequality and strong ties to the finance industry—both of which are key issues taken up by occupiers.
According to Census data, the metropolitan areas that best exemplify these traits include some of the Occupy movement's biggest hotspots: New York City, San Francisco, and Boston" for example. But the list also includes a few smaller metropolitan areas, whose young populations and large workforces in finance, insurance, and real estate also put them among Occupy's more prominent centers of action. Charlotte, N.C., is home to Bank of America's headquarters. Tallahassee, meanwhile, has a very young population and high inequality.

Obama courts Africa's business on trip's final leg
Tuesday - 7/2/2013, 1:37am EDT
AP White House Correspondent
DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania (AP) -- President Barack Obama on Monday courted African business leaders and announced new trade initiatives to open up East Africa's markets to American businesses, as he sought to counter the rise of Chinese economic influence in the growing continent.
The United States, he declared, wants to "step up our game" in a region that is home to six of the world's 10 fastest growing economies.
The president was welcomed in Tanzania by the largest crowds of his weeklong trip to the continent where his family ties run deep. Thousands of people lined the streets as his motorcade sped through this city on the shores of the Indian Ocean, some wearing shirts and traditional khanga wraps bearing Obama's image. The oceanfront road leading to the Tanzanian president's residence had been permanently changed to "Barack Obama Drive" in honor of the visit.
Throughout his three-country trip, Obama has touted a new model for U.S. partnership with Africa, one based not just on aid and assistance, but also on trade. While the U.S. has long been a leader in foreign aid to Africa, China has surpassed America as sub-Saharan Africa's largest trading partner. Countries like India, Turkey and Brazil also are increasing their presence on the continent.
"I see Africa as the world's next major economic success story," Obama told U.S. and African business leaders Monday. He spoke following a private meeting with top executives, including representatives from Coca Cola, Microsoft and General Electric.
In earlier stops in Senegal and South Africa, the president said he welcomed world economies turning their sights to Africa, declaring "the more, the merrier." But he also challenged African leaders to pick their international partners carefully, saying they should push back against countries that bring in their own workers or mine Africa's natural resources but handle the production outside the continent -- all criticisms that have been levied against China.
Seeking to draw a contrast with Beijing, the president said his administration's goal was "for Africa to build Africa for Africans," and for the U.S. to be a partner in that process.
Obama's trip marks his first stop in Africa since 2009, when he spent 24 hours in Ghana. China's new President Xi Jinping embarked on an Africa swing less than two weeks after taking office earlier this year.
During his meetings in Tanzania, Obama announced a new venture, dubbed "Trade Africa," that aims to increase the flow of goods between the U.S. and sub-Saharan Africa. The initial phase will focus on East Africa - Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania - and aim to increase the region's exports to the U.S. by 40 percent.
The program is designed to assist those countries trade with each other. The president cited the laborious physical roadblocks and border crossings on the continent that delay the transport of goods and products. As an example, Michael Froman, the U.S. trade representative who is traveling with Obama, told reporters it takes 42 days to export coffee out of Rwanda, compared to 14 days out of Colombia.
The president's two-day visit to Tanzania marks the final leg of his weeklong visit to Africa. He arrived in Dar Es Salaam Monday afternoon, along with wife Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha.
During a joint press conference with Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, Obama appeared moved by the welcome from the exuberant crowds. He cited his ties to neighboring Kenya, where his father was born, and said that his father's family had spent time in Tanzania.
Kikwete said there had never been a visit to Tanzania by a head of state that had attracted such big crowds.
Obama will close his Africa trip Tuesday with a rare meeting on foreign soil between two American presidents. George W. Bush is in Dar Es Salaam for a conference on African women organized by his institute and hosted by wife Laura Bush. The presidents will attend a wreath-laying ceremony honoring the victims of the 1998 U.S. embassy bombing in Tanzania.
Ahead of the meeting, Obama praised the anti-AIDS program Bush began during his tenure, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, known as PEPFAR.
"I think this is one of his crowning achievements," Obama said. "Because of the commitment of the Bush administration and the American people, millions of lives have been saved."
Obama rejected the notion that he's reduced the U.S. commitment to the program, saying lower spending on PEPFAR is due to efficiencies in treating more people.

Premier AM100 Swingout Mount Extends 30", Supports 100Lb TVs
The Premier Mounts AM100 has three arm placement options to swing the TV out from the left, right or center. The AM100 can retract a mere 1.46 inches from the wall or extend up to 30 inches.
The new AM100 comes with a ton of nifty features, the most obvious being the super-slim mounting wall plate, which has three arm placement options to swing the TV out from the left, right or center.
Other features include detachable mounting brackets and a back plate, which boasts an easy installation process. That way, the TV can be mounted separately, after the mount has been secured to the wall.
Premier says the mount can retract a mere 1.46 inches from the wall or extend up to 30 inches, via the articulating arm. From there, it can provide 15 degrees of downward tilt, 180 degrees or swivel and 180 degrees of pivot. It also has a universal mounting pattern up to 630-by-526mm and a weight capacity of 100 pounds.
"The AM100 is another example of the outcome of Premier Mounts' precision design," says Mike Boussiere, senior design engineer at Premier Mounts. "Each unique feature works together to create a unified, versatile, and user-friendly product that is guaranteed with a lifetime warranty and is what sets Premier Mounts' products apart from all others."

USC Upstate Home
Sept. 24, 2007
RADFORD, Va. - USC Upstate fell behind 2-0 in the first half at Radford, but rallied with two goals in the second half to tie the game at 2-2. Highlanders midfielder Brianna Kipper scored two goals in the 82nd and 83rd minute marks and Radford defeated the Spartans, 5-2, at Patrick D. Cupp Stadium Monday night.
Upstate falls to 2-4-0 on the season while the Highlanders improve to 4-4-0.
Radford struck first in the 17th minute when midfielder Caitlyn Roan scored her first goal of the season on a header off of a free kick by defender Jenna Raymer for a 1-0 lead. The Highlanders struck again moments later in the 18th minute as midfielder Jill Boyer found the net for her first goal of the season to increase the lead to 2-0.
In the second half, Upstate battled back with a goal in the 47th minute when freshman forward Lindsay Schulz stole a pass in the box and deposited it in the net for her first goal of the season to cut the lead to 2-1.
The Spartans found another opportunity in the 66th minute when sophomore forward Melissa Kuhar uncorked a shot from the top of the box that scored just inside the right post for her fifth goal of the season and tie the game at 2-2.
Radford answered the rally by Upstate in the 82nd minute when Kipper scored on a breakaway in the right side of the box and got it inside the right post for a 3-2 lead. Kipper followed that up with another goal in the 83rd minute on a shot off of a save by sophomore goalkeeper Brittany Daughtry and forward Justine Dugger added another goal in the 88th minute to put the game away.
Upstate was outshot 26-9 by the Highlanders, who also had seven corner kicks to the Spartans four.
Kuhar's goal gives her the team lead this season and she also has scored three goals in the last two games. Daughtry made 10 saves and falls to 1-1-0 in goal this season.
Kipper's two goals led Radford and Roan had a goal and an assist. Goalkeeper Alex Traughber had four saves and improves to 3-3-0 in goal.
Upstate returns home Friday night as they take on Jacksonville in their first-ever Atlantic Sun Conference match at 7 p.m.

TODAY IS THE DAY that ODE (the comic I have been working for so long to make) FINALLY LAUNCHES!!!! Here's a 5-page preview and update for today.
I'm going to have the full 32-page chapter printed and for sale at SPX this weekend. Come by table A9 if you want to snag a super limited book! (It's $12, full color and I'll draw a really nice sketch in it for you!) Afterwards, Ode will be updating Mondays & Wednesday online at OdeComic.com
I can't tell you how exited and nervous I am!! Tim wrote this for me so long ago and I just had the hardest time- I went between the "no one will like my art" to changing my style a zillion times for "consistency". I finally decided enough was enough and just kicked myself in the bum and did it! It's made with watercolors and ink, plus a bit of photoshop for sunny hilights. I think that I'm going to keep positive and just keep growing. These OCs are so fantastic and just you wait until Chapter 2!!!
Thanks everyone for being so amazing and encouraging me while I made this (in two weeks… 32 pages..)! I couldn't have done it without your support. So now… tell all your pals, bookmark the site and reblog this into the atmosphere!!!!!
I'll have: Ode Ch1, Ode: Sketchbook, Corgi Zine, Second Edition of GHOULISH, Fancy Watercolor prints, (and original watercolors!), Sketch a Day zines, and some cool Ode Chams & buttons too!!
ps- Thanks to Jen Weber for splitting the table!

One-Night Stands
Dir: Nicholas Steele
In a past life I was Jacques Cousteau, traveling the globe in search of adventure. Just a short baker's dozen years ago, I spent no less than 28 days a month abroad on skateboarding tours. I was home so infrequently that I opted to no longer rent an apartment, but rather slept in any stranger's bed for a night or under my desk at the legendary, defunct skate mag Big Brother. At some point I met my wife, moved back to New Jersey, had two sons, and settled into a peaceful life of domesticity in the suburbs.
Yet not one day passes that I don't crave the open air of a strange and new place, wanting to find myself in inexplicable predicaments on foreign soil and barely escaping with my life. To try and spice things up, I've gotten myself into three car chases in the past two years, and on several occasions have just gotten in my car and driven for hours with no destination in mind. I try my best to take the family on the road a few times a year, but those adventures are different. The adrenaline rush tends to center around if the kids are going to break something or if we can pull over fast enough to avoid one of them shitting his pants.
In the immortal words of Clark W. Griswold: "I wanna paint, I wanna sculpt something massive… I want to… God, I just have a creative urge." One that only a road trip can quench. Lucky for me I work for Vans, the greatest skate-shoe company on earth, and they've been kind enough to take me on a three-week European vacation. I'm writing this on the eve of my departure, and as excited as I am to mix it up overseas, I am beginning to stress out.
This will be the longest I've ever been away from my sons. I'm missing my firstborn's first day of school and his fourth birthday. Worst yet, what really has me sick to my stomach is that I won't be getting laid for 21 days. I haven't gone that long since I first discovered the fuzzy britches of a woman. I don't know that I'll be able to handle it. So, I sat my wife down and discussed my options. I told her the tour had a one-night stay scheduled in Amsterdam and that I needed closure. She understood, gave me her consent, but feared for my safety.
The story goes that 11 years ago, in the early stages of our courtship, I found myself in the red-light district of Amsterdam. Not wanting to cheat on my new lady, I instead opted to buy a bag full of oblong vegetables for a prostitute to use as sex toys while I masturbated: no touching involved, and I'd gladly pay full freight. Turns out girls over there don't care much for veggies. Every gal scoffed at the proposition; one sex worker got so angry that she called the enormous Moroccan security guards and nearly had me beaten senseless.
Just over 100 years ago, Tel Aviv was inhabited by a huge number of people from Europe and the Middle East. These people, only ten percent of whom were actually born in Israel, now make up the oldest section of the population.
Most of these immigrants had very particular lives growing up in Tel Aviv: their youth wasn't all about being carefree, their adulthood was punctuated by continuous wars, and they were constantly adapting to new cultural environments. They speak the common language, Hebrew, with different accents, but although they identify as Israelis, their strains of German, Yemeni, Slovak, and Hungarian heritage are still hugely important to them.
The "Tel Aviv Grannies" photo series shows this elderly segment of Israeli society. During a six-month stay in Israel, I decided to seek them out and follow them as they went about their everyday lives. I walked the streets, visited the beaches, and joined them in their play and sports activities in order to capture them on film.
How to Totally Ruin a High School Reunion
Most people who bother to go to their ten-year high school reunion have an agenda. Some are looking to impress fellow graduates who tormented them. Others are hoping to have a sexual encounter on or near campus, preferably with someone who tormented them. One or two people actually want to have meaningful conversations. No matter when or where these gatherings take place, they're all the same collection of highlights and lowlights.
Three basic types of reunion exist:
1) The Romy and Michelle Reunion
In this scenario, you lie about your success without remorse. This deceit feels good. It starts to take hold of you and you believe your own fabrications. Your recollection of events from school is colored by your own myopia and you still dress like a fucking idiot even though you are now 28.
2) The Grosse Pointe Blank Reunion
You attend your ten-year reunion begrudgingly, primarily because you are still pining over a lost love or unfulfilled attraction. Regret compels you to do something potentially embarrassing. Also, you are John Cusack and you don't look 28 at all. You look closer to 38. Whoever thought Cusack was a good casting choice is a moron.
3) The Zack and Miri Make a Porno Reunion
You are a huge loser, and can't afford to live an adult life. As such, you hope that your reunion will be a chance to recapture past glory. After it's over and you've made a drunken fool of yourself, you forge a pact to finally achieve some measure of happiness. Instead, you end up getting penetrated on camera. You decide to never go to another reunion again.
These events don't have to be as depressing as the ones above, but invariably, they end up being a boon to the pharmaceutical and liquor industries anyway. The cycle of shame continues without end because not enough time is spent explaining exactly why reunions suck. It's not just because you're shallow, self-pitying, lazy, or fat. It's those things, plus all the mistakes made in the planning of the reunions.
If we can all just work together to stop doing the following, we might be able to make revisiting puberty pleasurable.
"Sometimes he will just come up to my mother and do his best to hold her and he will say thank you or I love you. Then he will go back to knocking his fists against the door's glass."
—"I Asked My Dad, Who Has Dementia, to Annotate Jonathan Franzen's How to Be Alone" by Blake Butler is a thing you should read right now.
Being in Your 20s Is Great
See? Being in your 20s is hella fun.
Cracked.com—the compendium of list-based articles that proves literally anything is publishable online as long as it's laid out as a countdown—recently ran a piece entitled "Five Reasons You Don't Miss Your 20s When They're Over," by a man who may or may not exist named "John Cheese."
I realize that there must be a couple of benefits that come with exiting your 20s and hurtling ever faster towards death, but I'm in my 20s and I'm in no rush to find out what they are. It's a bind, but I guess the Friday nights spent at home, wallowing in self-pity and The Killing box-sets, while everyone younger than me is out, partying, fucking, smiling, and having the best time of their lives, will have to wait for now.
So, I'm calling bullshit on you, your article, and everything you stand for, John Cheese—and in true Cracked style, I'm gonna do that by writing a list.
Basic premise: All new music suddenly sound shitty and all new fashion trends suddenly look dumb.
Choice quote: "There is no maintaining the illusion that you're young and cool. I've got to say, it feels good to finally let go of it. But damn the actual act of letting go is hard."
Is it really that hard, though? John paints an image of young people being mercilessly exiled from the realms of cool by people who still have school uniforms and a set bed time, but why would any self-respecting adult care about what children thought of them? It's your teenage years where the Heathers of this world get to sneer at your shoes and make you feel like burying your head under a mountain of lead blocks. Not your 20s.
Your 20s are when you realize that all the playground rules dictating what was cool were complete bullshit and, unless your adolescent insecurities have spilled over into real life, you forget about actively trying to be cool and just enjoy yourself in the disorientating smog of drugs and alcohol you now have the money to buy and the freedom to use.
Basic premise: Society stops caring about you as soon as you leave compulsory education. Any residual feelings of happiness or self-worth from your school days will be extinguished by people who are older than you.
Choice quotes: "I guess that's when you know you've gotten past it: the embarrassment. Just remembering how at that age you were positive that you had everything locked down and figured out. You figured you were educated and smart and awesome and there wasn't much left to learn. I wouldn't live through that again if I were forced at gunpoint by time-traveling Time Rapists."
This one is essentially a hugely convoluted attack on how you're optimistic in your 20s and haven't yet realized that the first ten years of your career are going to grind you into the same tortured, bitter Scrooge that is every middle-aged office worker who hates their life and everyone around them. I don't think I have to explain why being excited about your life is better and probably more conducive to getting anywhere with your time on this planet than being resigned to a depressing lifetime of clocking in and once-a-year birthday blowjobs.
We are so sick of you full-grown babies running around aimlessly—with your shoes untied and overdraft-fee receipts falling out of your pockets and grease stains on your cut-offs and employment-repellant skillsets and inability to party and go to work the next morning—that we've gone ahead and figured it all out for you.
In the early 2000s, 20- and even 30-somethings could eek out a passable existence as abhorrent, unabashedly selfish, microwave-dependent, and wholly unproductive members of society. Today, somewhat due to the grievous irresponsibility's of our baby boomer parents, we know that such behavior can only heap insurmountable debt being foisted upon future generations, and, if you really give it your all, the slaughter of millions of innocent civilians worldwide and other atrocities.
Chances are your parents were selfish and didn't raise you correctly. Like, at least one-third of the people reading this have no idea how to fold a T-shirt. What the fuck is wrong with you? Did you just not show up to that day of life? But it's OK. We will show you the way.
Now that my grandma is gone, my grandpa lives alone in their little tin-roofed house, where they lived together for fifty years. It gets lonesome. He says he misses her.
He gets up at four in the morning and goes to bed around eight. He subsists mostly off of boiled turnips and collard greens. He refuses to accept help from elderly assistance organizations like Meals on Wheels, but when I come to visit him bearing a big bucket of KFC chicken, he devours it ravenously, looking like those Andean mountain climbers who lost themselves to cannibalism.
His days are spent in the service of that most underrated and important of life skills—the passing of time. He flips on the TV and watches the NASCAR races. He goes out on the front porch to check on the weather. He takes potshots at the groundhogs that are eating up his garden. He's 91 years old and still keeps a six-pack of Coors Lite in the refrigerator. Mostly though, he just stares out the window. The arrival of the mailman is the most eventful ten seconds of his day.

Liberal secular humanist mom surrounded by conservative, religious fanatics in Alabama. Help!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
-Mitt Romney addressing the attendees of the Values Voter Summit
Who cares about the silly US Constitution? Not this guy!
All things foreign seem foreign to Mitt Romney.
He says he'll save the American economy while banking in Switzerland and the Cayman Islands. He says he'll create American jobs as his company Bain Capital outsources jobs to China. He insults the Brits during the Olympics. He denigrates the Palestinian people as culturally inferior on a trip to Israel. He fails to even mention 190,000 American troops serving in Afghanistan at his convention speech. He still calls Russia "the Soviet Union" and labels it as America's No. 1 enemy.
If John Kerry was right when he said at the Democratic Convention the "last time Romney saw Russia was in 'Rocky 4,'" then the only thing he knows about Libya comes from watching Sasha Baron Cohen's "The Dictator."
Now it's Romney's Libya gaffe on the anniversary of 9/11.
On Sept. 11, as the nation mourned the heroes and victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks as non-partisan Americans, with all name-calling between the Obama and Romney camps on hiatus for one mournful day, U.S. Ambassador to Libya John Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed by religious fanatics who stormed the American consulate in Benghazi with grenade launchers and machine guns.
These savages were incited to murder because some fanatical Islamic cleric cited some obscure film made by an even more anonymous American filmmaker that had about as much chance of being released as the last 10 years of Romney's tax returns.
Several hours before the murders, as anti-American protests swelled, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo condemned "the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions."
A lame statement to be sure.
But the White House quickly said they never approved that statement, claiming, "It doesn't reflect the views of the U.S. government."
Then all hell broke loose and four Americans were murdered in Benghazi.
But by 10 p.m. Boston time, before the last beacon of light dimmed at Ground Zero, before Taps had finished echoing through Lower Manhattan, before the last grieving family member had gone to bed on a politics- and politician-free 9/11 commemoration, Romney headquarters issued an embargoed statement to the media on the barbaric attacks.
The campaign okayed its release at 12:01 a.m. Sept. 12.
"I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi," Romney said. "It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."
Political, exploitative, opportunistic.
DENIS HAMILL, writing in the New York Daily News, "Romney's Disgraceful Words After Libya Attack Kills U.S. Ambassador."
How thoughtful of Shit Romney to embargo his statement until after Sept. 11.
My neighbor asked me this morning if I'd gotten my gun permit yet. She's picking hers up tomorrow.
When I looked at her, obviously confused, she said, "oh, that's right, you all don't own guns."
Another long pause.
And I ask her, "um, why the urgency about the gun permit all of a sudden?"
"Oh, you know… before the election when Obama starts taking away all our gun rights."
Ultimate facepalm.

It's that time of the year again where the NBA resembles the craze of the holiday shopping season.
Yep, that's right, it's the trade deadline.
Contenders will be combing through rosters in hopes of finding the last piece of their championship puzzle while others try to shed unfavorable contracts and veterans like a going-out-of-business sale.
However, the Golden State Warriors will most likely skip this year's trade deadline bonanza as their roster is already fully equipped to make a deep postseason run.
The Warriors were recently involved in a three-team trade with the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat that surrounded with them acquiring Jordan Crawford to strengthen the wing position. One of the weaknesses of the roster was the lack of depth in the back court with the absence of Jarrett Jack, but the Warriors were able to resolve this problem with acquiring Crawford. The shooting guard is averaging 12.4 points on the season and has been playing great defense off the bench since arriving to the Bay Area.
Barring any surprise blockbuster trades, it's hard to imagine the Warriors will be moving or obtaining any last minute pieces before the deadline expires.
The Warriors are neck-and-neck in the playoff race and are playing well-balanced basketball, ranking 11th in offense and 12th in defense amongst all the teams in the league. A balanced attack on the offensive and defensive sides of the court will surely help them go far in the playoffs as the pace transitions to a half court game.

Today's Assignment
Today is about as simple as they come..... and darn hard too. Welcome to Media Fast Day. Remember, I don't assume that you will do this ALL DAY, just the evening portion when you come home till when you wake up. Keep it simple, enjoy the peace and quiet and see how your home feels.
Quotes of the Day
I thought I was a home cure rockstar, but looking at my cumbersome bookcase is kicking my ass. This will be my hardest challenge yet.
- zenshuga
I did this last weekend. Finally boxed up all of my texts like "Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy." Goodwill is about to get a decent gender studies collection.

deconstruct |ˌdēkənˈstrəkt|
verb [ trans. ]
analyze (a text or a linguistic or conceptual system) by deconstruction, typically in order to expose its hidden internal assumptions and contradictions and subvert its apparent significance or unity.
...is that the word you meant to use? ;) By the way, I liked you peeking at the end. <3
I'm not able to do this fast fully since I'm doing NaNoWriMothis month, but I have enabled a bit of a media fast this month already. I had my husband set up the router so that I can't get online for six hours each day. That way I won't get distracted and I can focus on reaching my word count each day.
Between that, and the fact that I don't watch TV or listen to the radio, I'm good, right?
Max, You've been in my head lately! Too spooky. I work at home, so I just leave my computer open all day. I've been thinking how I need to just shut it down in the evening at least, so my husband and I aren't at opposite ends of the couch with our laptops open and the tv on. I guess I also better buy some bananas to hug! I'll let you know how it goes.
I'll do it. i am going to play the piano.
LOVE it.
Max, what is the music you used for this video? I enjoyed both the jazzy song and the operatic piece. (And yes, I realize it's absurd for me to start my media fast by asking you about media, while using media. It'll get better after work, I promise!)
@veggiemar - no worries, "after work" is still a looooong time coming! The first song was Lily Allen, "He Wasn't There" - and the classical was "Gesualdo: O vos omnes" - available for free download at http://www.musopen.org/, a website with a lot of public domain classical music. Thanks for watching!
I will try--I have the shakes just thinking about it!
You meant media fest, right ?
Ok, talking and reading night tonight...
I will fast all weekend. I'm going to the mountains so no Internet, no TV and no radio. Yeah!
It's really tough to switch off. When I moved to my current home 5 years ago, I chose not to hook up cable and never regretted the choice but with the raft of online offerings Netflik streaming, etc I've noticed that my consumption is going up again.
Thanks for the reminder that it's good to completely disconnect once in a while. Maybe I'll have a media free day once a month.
Yes! Time for family game night. Blokus, Quirkle with the kids & then Ticket to Ride with my hubby. And no, that last game isn't code for something else :)
We've been cable free for about a year now. We really only get ABC and sometime NBC with our little antenna (which is all I cared about in the beginning, because all I watched was LOST... :( RIP). That said, we still have internet, so we watch some stuff on there and listen to music or just cruise around. This is actually not too hard for me. Yeah, I google a million and one things a day, but we routinely have evenings where we just take long baths and/or read books all evening or whatever. We did this last night. I did promise my daughter that if she got a "green light" in kindergarten today, we could watch a movie. If she gets in trouble, we'll do this today. If not, we'll do it tomorrow.
Not very excited about this. Tried it in past cures and it didn't give me any new connection to my house or sense of inner peace. I'll pass this time.
I love this. I'm trying to finish a quilt. So instead of sewing while watching TV(always a little dicey), I will shut it all off.
No music?? Can't do it.
I'm hosting a dinner today with some girlfriends and I HAVE to have music for that. But I'll turn off the tv and stay away from surfing the web...maybe I'll read a book instead!
When it was Get Rid of One Thing last week I got rid of our TV. It is so freeing! Fasting the internet, will be a challenge, more time to surface clean and declutter!
That video was hysterical, not just one laugh but serious laughter. Thank you!
Although I'd love to record some of vintage HGTV faves, I gave up cable nearly a decade ago when rising prices and shifting channels on the basic plan seemed planned to annoy people into moving to premium digital packages. I also ditched my tv in 2008 because I simply didn't want to deal with lugging it up a steep flight of stairs during a move :)
My primary tv problem is that I got impossibly behind on my vhs recordings and I'm sure the same will happen with dvr files if I get cable again.
I'm also a night person that usually doesn't tire until around 1am and I have to avoid too much stimulation else I'll stay up too late. This includes even my beloved books.
I admire those who purge their home of Television and its best friend, Cable. That is one brave, brave move. I think that it would be much easier if it was just me. But significant other and children kinda puts a crimp in my ambition to carry through on this.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
I'm turning this off for the day now. Thanks, Maxwell, for another inspiring day's video. I'll try to make the best of it. Going to do some sewing projects I've been putting off.
Until tomorrow--ta!
where can I get my boyfriend some of those socks?
I think I can do this! I feel like I'm cheating though because it's headboarding part II tonight and I won't have the TV on anyways. Music however is a bit trickier, but will try. And I vow I will not check my iphone every half hour for emails :)
I work from home and the internet is part of it...there is no real "get home from work" so I am going to have to just decide to be done at some point! This one is hard which means it is really needed. Thank you for the kick in the butt I need.
Oh and I wasn't even going to try to purge books from yesterday's cure... but this morning, putting on my socks, I actually looked at each book (instead of the bookcase as a whole) and there are at least 6 books I can give away without any pain, hee hee.
I think I might be gearing up for something big here... like dumping my box of university readers & notes in the recycling. baby steps.
i agree that we need a total break from the media probably once a week, or at the very least once a month. relating to the digital age, this is interesting story which i just heard on NPR a couple days ago: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130698574
it is SO hard to spend the entire day without the phone, computer, ipod, radio, tv, etc. the best thing to do is to get out of the house and into the great outdoors.
My family has been fasting for two weeks, since we moved in to our new house. No internet, no tv, my 5 years old makes music though LOL
I've been noticing the quiet when I first get home, and near darkness, and have thought about not turning on the TV but hadn't considered no music or computer either. I write and journal on my netbook, but I can not do that one night. Okay, I'm going to give it a try, but not tonight. Thursday night is the best TV night right now, but I'll try it another weeknight--maybe even tomorrow! Thanks for the idea.
There is no need to media fast. We can't anyway. Because that's how we live these days. Yet I understand that we shouldn't become slaves to technology.
Everything in moderation. Peace out.
My media fast will start... just as soon as I use my computer and TV to get me through my daily work out. Can I still do laundry and the dishes? Oh man... this might be interesting...
No music? Do people really just sit in silence (with the awesome exception of the person who will be playing the piano)?
Probably not gonna happen for me. I love the concept, but this is a girl whose top row of keys on her macbookpro are sticky because I spilled honey on them (while eating it directly from the jar in lieu of lunch). I almost died laughing at Maxwell crying next to the router. That would be my boyfriend!!
Quotation of the Day.
Oh no the thought of media fasting makes me sweat. I'm going to try my best.
I live alone.
I have no close family.
No pets or plants.
I will not exist without my media.
I live alone - I try to turn everything off for at least an hour or 90 minutes before I go to bed each night. What do I do? I prep the coffee for the next morning, I wash the dishes, I do a quick tidy around the house and put things in their place. I read a magazine, or a book, write in my journal or just think about the day that is almost done and the day that is coming ahead of me. Sometimes that jars a thought and I may grab my blackberry to send myself (or someone else) an email reminder...
Reading a book with faithful dog snoring next to me on the lounge. Nice. Thump thump thump. [Faithful dog tail wags approval.]
Um, tonight is Thursday.... which is my TV night.... I "fasted" yesterday... can that count?
I skipped this during the last Home Cure... I may have to skip this again. No, I will skip this again. I can turn off my television, put away the Blackberry, but the only way I've been able to fall asleep at a near decent hour is by listening to music.
I save media fasts for vacations. It's the only practical time to disconnect.
It's Friday here in Australia...and Friday night is unwind in front of the telly night! So not a good night for a media fast, but I promise I will (try to) do this at a later date. ;) By the way I have to report some success with my book purge, I tackled the kids books and have actually found a total of 37 lovely books to donate to charity! :)
I've never owned a T.V.
Not sure I want to do no music, though. Most nights I need John Coltrane and Charlie Parker to help me relax.
It doesn't seem like music should count as media. It's more in the category of flowers, art, etc. :( I'm not sure I could stand the silence. I am home alone so much and the silence is deafening...
I started a "computer fast" when I began teaching on-line regularly. Students tend to expect you to get back to them right away (even at 3 am) and I just got completely burned out. So now it is no computer one day a week (Saturday in my case) and it has made all the difference in how I deal with the world.
Dear Maxwell,
I love the video. I laugh a lot watching it! as soon as I saw it I turn off the computer and I had to drive my son to School and I did.
We had a beautiful rainy morning here in Silver Spring, MD. When I came back home I just decided to enjoy the rain, my home and the silence. It was a joyful experience. Thank you!
I can't do it tonight. I've been away for a few days and just read this. I need a couple more days to psych myself into this.
wow, no music?! and you just made get rid of some books too! To reset, music goes on and I start sewing, knitting, whatever. I cannot imagine doing this without music. maybe in the summer when i could listen to the street noise outside but now, nope. i gotta pass on this one :(
Uh.., not gonna happen. I thought this was 20 minutes a day? I will media fast for 20 minutes. Otherwise, my show is on tonight and if I don't watch it now I will have to find time some other day.
I know you're right, but I just cannot do this. I knit and read/write emails, watch television and talk on the phone all at once. I could try to give up one thing, I suppose, but all at once is too severe.
I haven't officially joined the cure but have been doing it anyway. As an ardent music lover, I had some reservations about this but did it anyway - it was so calming! I just pottered about the house and worked on my project (framing my old concert tickets) all the while feeling very soothed then went to bed without the usual busy-brain. I have every intention of making this a regular occurrence.
Also I love these videos, as a long time lurker to AT, this is the first time I've done the cure. These audiovisual treats make it very appealing!
How about an electronic *diet* instead? I've got to have my NPR if nothing else. Cutting off internet is a HUGE step for me.
Ha! I did this one without even trying. Last night was full of activity, I didn't even have time to check my email. When I saw the post today, I thought, how ironic! I must confess, though, I wasn't perfect. I always drift off to sleep with my MP3 playing an audiobook.
Generally, though, with 3 kids and working at a busy place with a lot of overheard paging, I really appreciate the quiet times.
Well I did it, it was hell on wheels, but I did it.
Are these records being transferred to the ipod before selling?
I liked raemcadams idea and so I tried to do this for 20 minutes. I sat in a chair with no music on, no TV, no ipod, just listening to the soothing rumble of peak hour traffic and screeching brakes outside my house. After a minute I became very aware of the ringing in my left ear that never goes away. This was a great exercise, because it made me appreciate ipods and music and TV even more than I did before! ;)
I wonder how many of us use ipods/music/noise machines to cover up ear ringing. I've had it since I was a kid--while it doesn't really bother me, i do tend otohave the radio on most of the time--to balance it I guess.
i just came back from a four day media fast. bliss. pure bliss.
What a funny vid ... I loved the holding the plant part (with the banana in the plant) - funny! Ok, I will 'disconnect', have a lovely candlelight dinner with my hubby (with NO tv on) + read a book tonight while listening to the crickets outside (instead of music) :)
The media fast wasn't as tough as I thought it would be but I also cheated a bunch! I will have to try this again.
Having said that I got a lot out of it. Almost too much. I got really behind on my blogging - got a little too relaxed. I can see how much of an all or nothing personality I have!
My blog: http://bit.ly/cljQaj
hey everyone! check out Tom Cooper's book 'Fast Media, Media Fast' for tips on effectively doing the impossible -- shutting our all media! :) here's the site for more info: www.fastmediamediafast.com
I'm home solo today so I'll media fast from now until my husband returns this evening. He wouldn't want to miss his evening TV shows and computer. If the goal had been not to read, then I wouldn't have been able to do it without leaving home. I think today's cure will be doable, and will comment here again tonight if I was wrong.
Wow, I'm shocked at how many people have such an incredible aversion to just BEING- being with themselves without pacifiers.
I don't have a tv, and though I love music, I do not have to have it on all the time. So at first I thought this would be easy. But no internet? No talking or texting on my phone? Oh dear, a big challenge but I'm gonna show up and just do it.
Kind of impossible for me on a work day, but I will do my best tomorrow when I'm off work. I'll be cleaning my house. I like to turn on Pandora on the TV when I do that, but I think I can go without just this once.
I am in the middle of a book and have another one waiting so after I am done with housecleaning I can easily kill time reading. Plus I have a whole room devoted to crafting, so I can go in there and spend hours at a time, although I usually have music or TV on when I'm doing that, too. lol
Cutest one yet!
Go for a day without checking my email a dozen times? Not watch Judge Judy? You kiddin' me? No can do. Sorry, ya'll, but I'm weak. I admit it. So sue me.
Maxwell, I think it's pretty cool you had John McEnroe at Wimbledon in the early 80s on your computer, but FYI, in tennis you don't watch "the game," you watch "a match" or the specific match, as in "the men's final.". But thanks for giving the woefully under-appreciated sport some air time.
Now tell to my partner and my son they should do the same! I'll lock myself in the bath for a long long bath with bubbles, see you tomorrow
I fully agree with your sentiment - we are a society so dependent on and addicted to technology it's obscene and impersonal. I think your video fails to drive this point home because it classifies media very broadly. There is no legitimate or rational reasoning that compels turning off music in order to find peace and unity with your self and home. Humans have played and listened to music for over 50,000 years. The popularity of media technologies like iPhone Apps, Twitter, Netflix, web surfing, etc. formed in less than a decade. I think you should be more focused in your definition of a media fast. For centuries, people have found peace and a spiritual connection with the world around them through music, literature, and art. An indiscriminate fast from all forms of media would be unpleasant, isolating, and foster ignorance. A fast from overexposing oneself to the constant, rapid-fire and often irrelevant and unintelligible media technologies is on the other hand productive because it frees up time for discovering connections independently and encourages exploration of more enlightening media.
Ha! Some of these comments are killing me! Eesh, it's one night people!
I don't know if I can do this today - I put one of my little kitties to sleep today (she'd been sick for awhile and I couldn't bear her suffering anymore) and I think I need to watch completely mindless TV... *sniff* I'll do the media fast tomorrow when I have a little more distance from this morning...
sugar3200, I am so sorry to hear about your cat. Even when you know it is the right thing to do, it is so so difficult. Take care of yourself and your other kitties--the rest will follow in good time.
I do a computer fast on Saturdays--I don't look at my computer or any e-mail for 24+ hours--kind of my version of the Sabbath. I teach in part on-line and this keeps me sane. Students have a tough time understanding that they can't access me for 24 hours or so during the week. Go figure.
I kept the media fast from 9 AM to 6 PM aside from 4 short land line calls. It was a peaceful, pleasant, productive day at home. I'd probably benefit from regular media fasts like some other commenters do. Thanks for the experience.
This is great! Months ago we eliminated media from the lives of our children so while I am media free ALL day at home with the kiddos, I must log on and watch some television in the evenings once they are asleep. I am thinking a once per week evening fast would be a good place to start.
I skipped this except I'm so far behind that I don't know if I'll catch up again. I do have a few media free days on the holidays, so I can fast but it's not easy. Reading, board games, home cooking, and yoga become the way to pass the time on those days.
I have mixed feeling about this media fast thing. I had a forced media fast as I went with some relatives to a cabin in the middle of nowhere, without any internet or even phone antennas. Call that 19th century living. If you are ever going to do a real media fast, and this was a fasting week-end, be sure to do it with people you love, because being forced to spend long evenings while bored to death doesn't qualify. I sure wished we could have watched a movie or something.
I'll do the real media fast tonight with my husband. Good diner, good talking, some reading and some more talking before going to bed early.

RIOULT Dance New York Receives NEA Grant
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Chairman Rocco Landesman announced today that RIOULT Dance New York is one of 832 non-profit organizations nationwide to receive an NEA Art Works grant. RIOULT Dance New York is recommended for a $10,000 grant to support the creation of a new work in 2013.
Choreographer Pascal Rioult is currently in close collaboration with composer Michael Torke, creating a new piece for the ten-dancer company based on Euripides' drama, Iphigenia in Aulis. Marking the third in Rioult's "Dance to Contemporary Composers Series," this new work will also serve as a companion piece to Rioult's critically acclaimed 2011 collaboration with composer Aaron J. Kernis in On Distant Shores...a redemption fantasy which took on the story of Helen of Troy. The new piece will have its world premiere to live music at RIOULT's New York Season at The Joyce Theater on June 4-9, 2013.
"I'm proud to announce these 832 grants to the American public including the creation of RIOULT's newest work," said Chairman Landesman. "These projects offer extraordinary examples of creativity in our country, including the creation of new work, innovative ways of engaging audiences, and exemplary education programs."
Pascal Rioult comments, "Working with living composers to create new work - as I'm doing this year and plan to continue - is a worthy tradition that has led to some of the greatest pieces in the history of dance. "
In March 2012, the NEA received 1,509 eligible applications for Art Works requesting more than $74 million in funding. The 832 recommended NEA grants total $22.3 million, span 13 artistic disciplines and fields, and focus primarily on the creation of work and presentation of both new and existing works for the benefit of American audiences.
