The new reporting for Medicare is now through the Medicare. MIPS. Through MIPS data will be reported by TXCIN through what is now known as CMS Web Interface. The term Group Practice Reporting Option (GPRO) has been officially retired as of 2017.
The CMS Web Interface is a secure internet-based data submission mechanism for groups of 25 or more MIPS eligible clinicians to report quality data to CMS. The submission of data through the CMS Web Interface requires that all 15 CMS web interface measures be reported for 12 months of quality data for the 2017 performance period between (January 1- December 31) therefore, there will be no need to search for and pick quality measures.
The CMS Web Interface reporting period for the 2017 performance year will be January 22, 2018 - March 16, 2018. CMS will send TXCIN a file during the Quality Measure Reporting period in early January. TXCIN will work with all practices to get the necessary information submitted by the March deadline. Once the file is complete, TXCIN will submit the data to CMS through the CMS Web Interface. TXCIN is required to completely and accurately report quality data used to calculate and assess quality performance.
How are the Medicare Beneficiaries chosen?
1) TXCIN will receive a sample of Medicare beneficiaries from CMS derived MIPS methodology for beneficiary assignment. This methodology requires a sample of 248 eligible beneficiaries for each measure. If the sample of eligible assigned beneficiaries is less than 248, then 100% of assigned beneficiaries is reported.
2) The CMS Web Interface will be partially pre-populated with 2017 claims data from Medicare Part A and B beneficiaries assigned to the group. This data has demographic and utilization information for the assigned beneficiaries.
3) TXCIN will have to populate the rest of the data fields and submit the data during the submission period ending March 16, 2018.
How will participants be notified?
TXCIN will contact your practice to schedule a day between January 8, 2018 and January 15, 2018 to discuss a deadline date for data abstraction for the CMS Web Interface Reporting. TXCIN will provide the CMS generated beneficiary assignment file for the data abstraction.
What can we do now to prepare for the reporting period?
Use performance measure patient roster and information to continue to bring patients in for their wellness visits to ensure all preventative measures are met for the remaining of the 2017 year.
What are the data abstraction options?
1) Provide TXCIN with the completed abstracted data form
2) Provide TXCIN with remote access to EMR
3) Schedule an in office appointment for TXCIN to abstract data
What will be the next step for the CMS Web Interface reporting?
1) Provide TXCIN your office preferred data abstraction method no later than January 4, 2018.
2) After receiving the CMS generated Medicare Beneficiary Assignment List and the Web Interface Data Abstraction Form from TXCIN, provide TXCIN with the date the data abstraction will be completed by your office and delivered to TXCIN. The date of completion for data abstraction must be prior to February 19, 2018. If your office would like data abstraction assistance provide TXCIN with remote access to EMR for the data abstraction. The access to the EMR must be established with TXCIN by January 15, 2018.
What are the documentation requirements for the CMs Web Interface reporting period?
Data information will be abstracted and provided to TXCIN for submittal through the completion of a Web Interface Data Collection Form provided to your office from TXCIN.
Medical record documentation will only need to be available as necessary to support the information that has been submitted by TXCIN through the CMS Web Interface. The expectation is that medical record documentation is available to support the action reported on the CMS Web Interface.
When will our office receive Medicare Beneficiary Assignment list and the Web Interface data abstraction form?
TXCIN expects to receive this information form CMS in the first week of January 2018. TXCIN will contact each practice upon receiving the information.
What are the 15 measures for the 2017 CMS Web Interface Reporting period?
Care Coordination/Patient Safety (CARE) Measures – Individually Sampled
- CARE-1 Medication Reconciliation Post-Discharge
- CARE-2 Falls: Screening for Future Fall Risk
Diabetes Composite Single Composite Consisting of 2 Measures

What are the Quality Measure Specifications?
The specifications for each measure will be included on the CMS Web Interface data collection tool provided in January.
Besides the CMS Web Interface reporting by TXCIN what else should be reported?
Advancing Care Information (ACI)
- The reporting of meaningfully use of certified EHR technology is referred to as Advancing Care Information (ACI), which replaces the Medicare EHR Incentive Program for clinicians. ACI should be reported to CMS for eligible clinician individually and deadline to report is March 31, 2018. ACI Reporting is offered through the choice of two measure set options:
1) Advancing Care Information Objectives and Measures
2) 2017 Advancing Care Information Transition Objectives and Measures
Can report the Advancing Care Information Objectives and Measures:
- If you have technology certified to the 2015 Edition; or
- If you have a combination of technologies from 2014 and 2015 Editions that support these measures.
Can report the 2017 Advancing Care Information Transition Objectives and Measures:
- If you have technology certified to the 2015 Edition; or
- If you have technology certified to the 2014 Edition; or If you have a combination of technologies from 2014 and 2015 Editions

Miranda Morrison | Animal Ark Rescue
Meet Henry, a handsome stud with dark eyes, a kind heart, and a big wet nose. He's on the market for love and is looking for that special someone on the popular dating app Tinder.
In case you couldn't tell from his description, Henry is a dog. But he's not just any old dog, he is a shelter dog who lives in Columbus, Georgia, at Animal Ark Rescue — a no-kill shelter where he's been staying for the past three years.

Shelter worker Miranda Morrison thought it would be fun to create Henry a Tinder profile in hopes of finding Henry a forever home.
"He is my favorite dog at the shelter," Morrison told TODAY.

From his "dating profile," Henry seems to be quite the find. He loves people and other dogs, lives for car rides, and isn't afraid to jump in the water for a swim. He also "loves to get out and go on adventures. After a long day, he is content to cuddle up on the couch and watch TV and snuggle with you," Morrison added.
Morrison not only created the perfect profile for Henry, but she's also come up with the perfect first date: He'd be picked up at the shelter to go on an adventurous car ride, then his date would take him for a long walk or a brisk hike (with a break for swimming, of course). Henry and his date would then get lunch on a patio, dining on chicken nuggets or sweet potato fries.
"Then home to a cozy couch for a little living room fetch with a squeaky plush toy, followed by a Netflix marathon, and [a] snuggle fest before dozing off into a cozy slumber," Morrison said.
That does sound like the perfect date, doesn't it? Who could say no to a cutie like Henry? Oh, and the best part: The Animal Ark Shelter allows potential owners to take shelter dogs on "field trips," so you can actually spend some time with your pooch-to-be before anything is set in stone.
Despite Morrison's efforts, Henry still hasn't found that special someone to take care of him. But Morrison said she's staying optimistic.
"I know Henry deserves true and unwavering unconditional love for the rest of his life. He leaves paw prints on the hearts of those he loves," she said. "Does Henry sound like the hound for you?"
If you'd like to foster or adopt Henry, visit the Animal Ark Rescue website.

Insomnia is a problem that many of us face on a daily, or rather nightly basis. Temporary solutions like sleep masks, ear plugs, and white noise machines can help sometimes, but don't create lasting change.
Dr. Andrew Weil, a Harvard trained medical doctor with a focus on holistic health, believes getting the best sleep ever is as simple as breathing in and breathing out. He has popularized the 4-7-8 breath that will help you fall a sleep in 60 seconds or less.
So ditch the sheep and try this instead!

Rutvi was born at 3:16 p.m.
Tanvi's school would leave at 3:30 p.m. When she left for school in the morning, she had no idea she would return to see her baby sister. We got her picked up in a cab and brought straight to the hospital. She was in her school uniform.
She was beaming when she saw the baby. Her hands were steady as she held her - quite surprising for an 11 year old.
I have heard of adults being fearful of taking a new born in their arms. They are either plain scared to touch a new born or afraid they might hurt or concerned that they might pass germs or an infection.
Tanvi was confident from day one.
Rutvi's Day 2 - thinking pose. The way her index finger is on her cheek! What was she thinking?
All of us were pleasantly surprised to see her head full of hair - long, straight, black, silky. Tanvi didn't have this much hair when she was born. Rutvi came after a full 40 weeks, Tan 37 weeks. That could be a reason. I have read that acid re-flux during pregnancy causes hair growth. I did have acid re-flex but just the usual amount. Quite a normal occurrence during pregnancy. Nothing worrisome. So wonder how she has such a good hair growth.
Her picture with her father
On day one, no one remembered to click a pic of the baby with her mother! Not even on day two, day three......and so on. A friend had rightly commented on Facebook that the person is charge of keeping the memories is seldom photographed. It took a month for the father-daughter duo to realize the mother too needs a pic taken with her darling.

…Economy adds 25,000 jobs in October. Unemployment rate holds at 3.7%. Wages grow at 3.1% annualized pace. Green light for Fed rate hike.
Financial Review by Sinclair Noe for 11-02-2018
The economy added 250,000 jobs in October. The unemployment rate held steady at 3.7%, a 48-year low. The U.S. has added an average of 213,000 jobs a month through the first 10 months of 2018, well above the 182,000 pace during the same period last year. In October, the year-over-year employment change was 2.51 million jobs. The September jobs report was revised lower, showing 16,000 fewer jobs than initially reported. The August report was revised higher, showing 16,000 more jobs than initially reported. Workers knocked off the payrolls by Hurricane Florence in September were added in October, though that artificial bump was likely offset somewhat by those whom Hurricane Michael put temporarily out of work in October. October marked the 97th consecutive month of job growth, extending an already record-making streak. Average monthly payroll increases have floated around the 210,000 mark over the past year. Last week, the government estimated that the economy grew at a hearty annualized rate of 3.5 percent in the third quarter.
The amount of money the average employee earns rose 0.2% last month to $27.30 an hour. The increase in pay over the past 12 months climbed to 3.1% from 2.8%, touching 3% for the first time since the end of the Great Recession in mid-2009. On a year-over-year basis, wages jumped partly because there was an unusual drop in pay in October last year after hurricanes. The average wage for the top 1% of income earners hit $719,000 per year in 2017, up 3.7% on the year, exceeding their peak of $716,000 per year just before the Great Recession. The average wage for the top 0.1% reached $2.7 million in 2017, the second-highest level ever, just 4% below their level in 2007. To put that in context: The median household income in the U.S. increased 0.5% to $63,007 in September 2018. That was the highest median household income than for any other month since January 2000. Income inequality has soared in the U.S. over the last five decades, despite increases in worker productivity and this increase in income inequality was almost entirely driven by soaring compensation levels for the top 1% of income earners. Incomes for most Americans have been stagnant for four decades.
For most U.S. workers, real wages have barely budged in decades. These should be heady times for American workers. U.S. unemployment is as low as it's been in nearly two decades. In fact, despite some ups and downs over the past several decades, today's real average wage — after accounting for inflation — has about the same purchasing power it did 40 years ago. Low wages in many sectors have contributed to financial instability. More than a quarter of Americans don't earn enough to cover basic expenses, while more than a third are unable to pay all their bills on time, according to a report released Thursday by the Center for Financial Services Innovation, a nonprofit funded by foundations and several banks. That shortfall has contributed to mounting credit card debt and loan defaults.
The number of people working or looking for a job increased by 711,000, nudging the labor force participation rate up to 62.9 percent, from 62.7 percent in September. The labor-force participation rate, shows the number of people either employed or actively looking for work as a share of the total population. A low share of labor-force participation suggests that a portion of the population is either unable or unwilling to even look for work. This stat is important because once people have thrown in the towel on trying to get a job, it's hard to get them to start again. This means that the labor market is strong enough to pull workers off the sidelines. Since the recession ended, analysts have struggled to understand how many more potential workers are out there. Before the financial crisis, more than 66 percent of the population 16 or older was working or looking for a job. In recent years, that rate has rarely risen above 63 percent. Many of those workers will never rejoin the labor force — some have reached retirement age, others have seen their skills lose value, and a number are too disabled to work. Economists have had a spirited debate over how many more people could be lured back to the labor market. The relatively languid pace of wage growth indicates that there are still people on the sidelines who would be willing to take jobs if it seemed worthwhile. The bump up in October's participation rate provides some evidence that this is the case.
In October, 79.7% of Americans aged 25 to 54—what economists call "prime-age" individuals—had jobs. That's the same share as in late 2007, when the US teetered on the brink of the great recession. While employment levels for prime-age workers are reaching pre-crisis levels, they're still way down from where they were in 2000, before the dot-com era downturn in 2001.
Women are coming back into the work force at a much faster rate than men. Over the past year, a net total of 1.4 million women have joined the labor force compared to 845,000 men. Employers say they are constantly on the hunt for workers. Midsize manufacturers are turning down lots of business because they can't find the people and they can't get the equipment fast enough. Help is not coming from abroad: The number of immigrant visas issued by the government has declined for two years in a row. The global outplacement and executive coaching firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, which tracks hiring announcements, has reported that companies are looking to add 700,000 seasonal workers, the largest number since 2014. Job opportunities have finally begun rippling out to groups that were largely bypassed during much of the recovery: African-Americans, Hispanics, less-educated workers and people with disabilities have all seen their unemployment rates drop in recent months.
Construction companies have been ratcheting pay higher to find workers. Average hourly earnings for construction workers were $30.21 in October. That represented a 3.9% increase in wages compared to a year ago, the strongest yearly gain since mid-2009. As the housing crisis unfolded, a million and a half residential construction workers were laid off. Industry groups have complained for years that labor is too hard to find and say that's holding back a more robust pace of home building. Higher pay would go a long way to solving that problem, and to some extent, industry actions over the past year or so have confirmed that idea. Annual wage increases for construction workers have increased an average of 3.3% during 2018, double the wage increases enjoyed by factory employees. In turn, that's helped employers lure lots more workers: the construction industry added 330,000 jobs over the past 12 months.
The increase in hiring last month was broad based — not a single major industry shed jobs. Hotels and restaurants added 42,000 people to their staffs, health-care companies hired 36,000 workers, manufacturers filled 32,000 jobs and construction companies took on 32,000 new employees.
There were 4.6 million part-time workers in October who would prefer to have full-time jobs. The headline unemployment rate is known as U3. A different measure, known as U6, includes unemployed plus underutilized workers – the U6 unemployment rate was unchanged at 7.4% in October. The back-to-back hurricanes in September and October may have distorted the figures in unpredictable ways. It's never happened before when you have hurricanes making landfall in successive survey weeks.
The S&P 500 was up 0.6% early today but stumbled to a loss of 1% in afternoon trading. The Dow Jones industrial average also reversed lower and was off 0.8%. The Nasdaq composite has been the day's weakest index, down 1.3%. Apple was responsible for much of the Nasdaq's struggles. Apple shares gapped down after the company late Thursday issued weaker-than-expected holiday sales guidance and announced it will stop disclosing unit sales of iPhones and other products. Selling intensified after White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow confirmed earlier reports that an agreement on trade issues with China remains elusive. Indexes were stabilizing around midday, but began a new leg lower after Kudlow's remarks.
The jobs report cements expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates at its December meeting. The next Fed policy meeting is next week, but this meeting does not include a press conference and there are no economic projections due. The mid-December FOMC meeting is already slated for the fourth rate hike of the year. Next year, the Fed changes how they schedule press conferences and economic projections. Next year, we could get policy action at any given FOMC meeting, and there is a good chance we will see 4 rate hikes next year, pushing the Fed Funds target rate up to about 3.5%. It has been a long time since we have seen significant inflation. The Philips Curve is the statistical relationship between low unemployment and rising inflation; when inflation drops to very low levels, employers have to pay higher wages to retain workers. Add in supply chain constraints associated with nascent trade wars, and for the first time in about a decade the possibility of substantial inflation is becoming real. Whether we see wage push inflation now depends on how many potential workers are still sitting on the sidelines. The more there are, the more growth the economy can sustain without stumbling into an inflationary spiral.
For the week, the S&P 500 and Dow each rose 2.4 percent and the Nasdaq climbed 2.7 percent.

Halloween Co-Writer Danny McBride Doesn't Want To Ruin Your Childhood
Comic actor Danny McBride may not seem like an obvious candidate to write a Halloween movie, but his pitch (with co-writer/director David Gordon Green) made such a powerful impression on franchise originator John Carpenter that he landed the job. While it's likely this gave McBride a big confidence boost, he's understandably nervous about fan expectations, both lofty and low. In a recent interview with Indiewire, he elaborated:
"In this day and age, Hollywood is tapping into so many beloved franchises that it seems like any time anything comes out there's the contingency of people that are stoked, and the contingency of people that are f*cking pissed off and saying you ruined their childhood somehow."
With the new Halloween ready to premiere at next month's Toronto International Film Festival, McBride believes there should be more of the former than the latter. "I hope this thing tips more into the world of people liking it," he said. "I hope we don't ruin too many childhoods. I think it will be interesting for people to see what David Green has pulled off as a director, going from things like Stronger and Pineapple Express and being able to segue into something that's just straight, gritty horror. I'm always impressed with the different genre hats that David finds himself putting on, and I think people will be pleased with what he's done here."
Halloween arrives in theatres on October 19. Check out the trailer below.

No one Pauline Kael knew voted for Richard M. Nixon, and no one I know voted for "Brexit." I lived in London for a little over three years, and that catastrophic British referendum of June 23, and the political meltdown, legal uncertainty and racist violence it has unleashed, have obliterated a place I thought I knew, and left the British art world unmoored.
A few days before the vote, the art magazine Frieze asked artists and curators to speak their minds on Britain's place in Europe — and every single participant called on Britain to remain in the European Union. What happens now to the art scenes of London and Glasgow, to the schools and galleries, and above all to the young Britons whose futures have been arrested, is unknowable but very unpromising.
The affecting retrospective "Mark Leckey: Containers and Their Drivers," now on view at MoMA PS1, appears almost as a time capsule from Britain before June 23: a sprawling, bopping showcase of musical history, anthropological assemblage and personal reverie. A prodigious aggregator of high art and popular culture, Mr. Leckey is a profoundly British figure, shaped especially by the country's postpunk and dance music scenes. Winner of the 2008 Turner Prize, he stands at the forefront of a generation of British artists who revived the country's art scene, and though this exhibition pulses with the exuberance of the British culture that nurtured him, it can at times feel like a love letter to a Britain that has come and gone. (The show has been deftly structured across two floors of the museum by Peter Eleey, PS1's associate director of exhibitions and programs, and Stuart Comer, who leads MoMA's department of media and performance art. Mr. Comer is American but spent more than a decade in London.)
Running through this artist's work is a passion for the British underground, particularly its music subcultures, which Mr. Leckey examines with both a sociologist's diligence and a diarist's nakedness. Born near Liverpool in 1964, Mr. Leckey came of age as Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Marc Quinn and others found fame under an umbrella designation as Young British Artists. But Mr. Leckey preferred rave nights and obscure vinyl, and sat out that media-confected jamboree. After a few years in New York, he returned to London and was invited to contribute to a show at the Institute of Contemporary Arts on music videos, a genre he found more engaging than most visual art.
The result was "Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore": a rhythmic, enthralling video chronicle of Britain's nights on the tiles from the 1970s to the 1990s. Pasty white kids bop about in workingmen's social halls, and drunk teenagers boogie under strobe lights; Northern Soul fans in bell bottoms give way to ravers with whistles. Mr. Leckey brought the pleasures of Britain's working classes (specifically from northern England) into elite (and southern) art institutions, and held up popular culture as the truest source of Britain's creative life. Crucially, the kids danced more often than not off the beat: Mr. Leckey did not synchronize sound to image, which imbued the video with a loss and wistfulness belying its four-on-the-floor beat. "Fiorucci" became a cult success in the turn-of-the-millennium art world, though today, when archival imagery is found in the cloud rather than on tape, it can be hard to remember just how much labor was required to synthesize its night-owl history.
Mr. Leckey stuck with music with his "Sound System" sculptures, totemlike stacks of speakers, amps and buffers that burble out snippets of vocals, beats and bodily sounds. But by the mid-2000s his approach had grown more omnivorous, and his art began to recycle and reconstitute fine art, popular culture and his own past as elements of a single, undifferentiated stream of content. Lecture-performances such as "Cinema-in-the-Round" (2006-08) and "In the Long Tail" (2009), which screen here on video, mash up art history and economics with fantastical claims, recalling the jumbled but spirited pedagogical interventions of Joseph Beuys. "In the Long Tail," for example, somehow equates the statistical concept of long-tailed distribution to the tail of Felix the Cat — the silent-era cartoon that Mr. Leckey treats as an archetype of media distribution and mutation. Felix pops up a lot in this show, most uncannily in a giant inflatable version scrunched into a gallery, his chin smushed into his belly.
In 2013, Mr. Leckey's practice of aggregating high and low culture drove him to organize an ornery exhibition, "The Universal Addressability of Dumb Things," which treated antiquities, machines, consumer goods and art, by William Blake, Louise Bourgeois and Ed Atkins, as so much commensurate stuff. The Google-addled cabinet of curiosities toured across Britain, and when it ended Mr. Leckey roughly duplicated many of its objects, then placed them on staggered displays that recalled natural history museums. Authentic artworks and copies, unique objects and 3-D printouts, shoes and sex toys are absorbed into a homogeneous presentation of world culture, in which technology has vitiated the very need for museums to preserve significant objects. It's bracing, like seeing an alien exhibition of our species, though one could do without the related posters and paratexts: Mr. Leckey has a wearying penchant for buttressing his projects with promotional materials for from his earlier shows, and should be confident enough now to let that go. (There are also photographs here of reviews of past exhibitions in Artforum or Frieze; even we critics are fodder for the system.)
Recently, Mr. Leckey has veered back to autobiographical territory. A room-filling sculpture of a Liverpool highway overpass, and a hallway illuminated by sallow yellow lamps used to illuminate British motorways, transform the galleries of PS1 into memory palaces of his northern English childhood. There is also a crepuscular LED display of Britain's national power grid; watching the lights go out across the island gives a frisson of the Brexit-induced ruin to come.
Most impressive is "Dream English Kid 1964-1999 AD," which limns the artist's youth primarily through scraps of video discovered online. We see record shops, washed-out public housing, a shadow walking through London's Soho; we see clips of Joy Division, the Manchester-born band Mr. Leckey worships; we see the same highway overpass we encountered as sculpture, which on screen appears in a fog-bestrewn black-and-white like something out of "The Third Man." As in "Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore," this aching new video gains its power through shrewd editing and a lightly worn nostalgia. Unlike "Fiorucci," this one was made largely through YouTube and other digital sources; what appears to be first-person is actually made of others' lives.
The melancholy "Dream English Kid" may not have the outward-facing joy of "Fiorucci," nor the exacting wit of his cabinet of curiosities. But it's one of Mr. Leckey's best works. It captures, more than anything before, the gravid, intoxicating atmosphere of Britain in the 1990s that nurtured the most consequential generation of British artists of the last century. Brexit has made the video doubly nostalgic, not only for the last days of analog culture, but for an open, imaginative Britain that has not yet shot itself in the foot.

Sri Swamiji gladly accepted their invitation and was warmly received by Viksatarangini and JET members at 10.00 PM in Cheerala Arya Vaishya Kalyana Mandapam where are provisions were made for the stay.
That evening, Sri Swamiji discussed the school's activities, progress, programs with Sri Venkateshwara Rao and Sriman Prabhakar Rao.
On 28th April 2018, Sri Swamiji visited the Matsya Narayana temple and blessed all the participants there. At around 5.00 PM Sri Swamiji started to Jeeyar Gurukulam. HH visited the nearby Venkateshwara Swamy temple and soon reached the Jeeyar Gurukulam. HH was received very grandly by all the school delegates, and members. HH was welcomed with flowers, and dances all the way to the stage.
The Annual Day event began after the "Jyothi Prajwalam" (Lighting of the lamp) by Sri Swamiji. Ex Minister Sriman Dr. Daggubati Venkateshwara Rao was the chief guest of the Annual Day function. There were few other prominent leaders like Sriman Nethaji MDO, V.R.O Suresh garu, Sriman Yallamgari Subrahmanyam garu who were present in the event.
The annual day started with little children giving excellent and mazing speeches in English and Telugu. And later the children performed many cultural skits and dramas much to everyone's amazement .
The parents of the children were particularly impressed with their kids seeing their wonderful participation on the stage in front of an audience.
Their eyes were filled with love and happiness for their children. They could have easily gone astray, but for Sri Swamiji's Gurukulam where they all gained an opportunity to get educated so well in all aspects.
They expressed their gratitude to Sri Swamiji over and over again for making their kids what they are today!
Later Sri Swamiji gave an excellent speech to the children, parents and the teachers at the event. HH blessed them and further motivated them with HH blessings and support.

So the Astrologer was Right your Ex-girlfriend is now married
I was in India in 2007 and when I was there I went to an astrologer and quite a few things that he told me have turned out to be right and the above mentioned title happened to be one of them. He is also very accurately pegged the time period which I spent with a tai-chi/chi-gong master from China. I found a few of his predictions to be a bit startling in regards to accuracy. I feel that I have been hiding alot of personal aspects of my life from the blog or more accurately not knowing where to begin> I was given a picture today to do a long distance healing on man's mother from Spain. I believe in the power of healing and certainly long distance healing is another avenue for that take place. I recently about 2 and half weeks with no cell phone and it was wonderful. I had some herbs from the healer John of God sent to me and I will start taking them tomorrow. Every day I amazed at how many people I have encountered. Tonight at a small gathering of about 12 2 people knew from New York, One from Venice Beach, and another recognized me from Wild Oats. Someone recently stopped me on the street and bought my healing sign off of me for $200. I have no idea what tomorrow or the rest of this year has in store for me. I am learning to fly without wings and remembering to fly is sometimes the hardest thing. I am looking for a ride to New Orleans where I will stay with a friend who I met at Bonnaroo. I dont care much for spelling as long as you can figure what I am trying to say more or less, but hopefully more then less. I am weirded out a little bit that my ex-girlfriend is married but more wondering if the astrologers prediction about the mafia taking interest in me might also be true. Rationally the mafia being interested in me does not make any dam sense to me being that I don't like guns, drugs, or racketering (unless it is Robin Hood, but still then I have my questions). Life has a funny way of working out most people are not patient enough to allow it to unfold and spend a great deal of the in between time worrying about many things that never happen. One day I will pass on and everything I touch and have touched and ever will touch the same can be said for it. One day "This too will pass". There a great deal many people who have come before me who or wiser then me. I seek to continue to find truth inside of myself. I met someone recently who got pulled into the nonsense of club life and spent a thousand dollars in one life. If charity organizations were night clubs at least a whole bunch of malnourished children would get fed off our decadence. If you don't feel the rain then you don't feel anything at all. Give them a guitar and a some drums and watch them wail.

So mUch to Express and suppress where to begin
Everyday I keep walking by a dead cat and every day it is there rotting away and I just walk around it and at one point it would have walked around me. I understand why people desire proper funerals. There does seem to be some sense of dignity about the whole life and death and process. People are always coming out of the woodwork and disappearing into the woodwork in my life. They are from all over heading on their own journey to understand themselves and we meet at some point and place and they usually doubt that I remember them, but given a few brief moments I can almost always place where it is I have met someone and some the details that were discussed during the conversation. Every moment is a constant reminder of where we are and where we have been and where it is that we are hoping to make it to on this strange and marvelous journey. I can hear the music of revoltuion and change everywhere I go and I can see a look of awakening in many people's eyes that symbolizing the awakening leading into 2012 and the beginning on a new phase for a much greater portion of humanity. We must again live in balance because are ways are not working and now is the return of the shaman or spiritual being that resides in all of us that has been lying dormant for too long. I often find little things nipping at my heels and sometimes we need to take heed of this nipping because it is a caution to be aware of what is going on around us in this moment. We all have gifts to realize and the most significant of these gifts is the love that pours out of us when we allow to come and do not resist the utter magic of a love without limits. Do not allow negative people to bring you into their lower vibration. Instead bring them to a higher frequency to help them with their healing. SOmetimes so much has transpired in my life I am somewhat intimidated at the momenutal task of even expressing a fraction of the experience in words. I try to relay stories that will benefit the person or persons that I am talking to at any given moment. All of my fumbles have made more aware to face my fears but also heed my warnings. Slowing down and focusing more on my own healing will greatly help my ability to heal others.

Lets End This War.
Bringing this war to an end in Iraq involve everyone feeling a sense a connection to the awful things that are happening there. We continue to have our elected officials so willing to send young men and women out to the front lines, but their own children have cushy high paying jobs. We were told in 2003 by our president that this mission was accomplished as he got on U.S. Naval ship and put on his outfit for his photo-op. 5 years later this war is still dragging along and we have not caught Bin Laden dead or alive. I have not even heard any leads on this most dangerous man. We are more vulnerable to terrorist attack then ever before. I sometimes think about how we are sleeping walking and government agencies have not been looking out for the best interests of other people instead of our economic interests. We our constantly trying to support economic growth in a non-sustainable model. We can keep floating a little longer but half way into the next presidents term the repercussions of our present actions will hit us like a titanium wall. We can greatly lessen the impact if we all start working together collectively on different solutions and spend more of tax money on educating the youth to create and think independently. I look forward in bringing this forward to the nations attention in many different ways. In many different venues our campaign known as the "Infinite Cabinet" will be there making the world a better place by creating groups that are furthering peace inside of ourselves and in the world that we live in. Another of great civil unrest is upon us. The internet has enabled to us connect to each other in ways that were much more challenging years ago. Being present of the moment we are in and how we can better it are crucial for us being the change that we want to see in this world. Change is happening whether you are aware of it not and people are reawakening to their potential.

Dancing Koala Bears and Kangaroos
No more nonsense is almost always a promise that there will be alot more nonsense being an education president means that you still prefer to spend more money on weapons then on your own nations education. I remember the 90's 80's and the 70's were a blur. THey told me when I was 11 that sexual revolution was over just when I discovered the joys of my parents jacuzzi. I was still watching lots of cartoons as if it was my religion and I resented soul train because it meant the end of cartoons. I am believer in dance breaking out anywhere at anytime and it usually means there is 50% that someone will tell me that I have to stop dancing. We are country of slaves bragging about how free we are as we continue to be brainwashed into buying more things to fill feelings of being inadequate which are passed down from generation to generation. Our healing is our ability to break from the past to stop stuffing ourselves to a point of exploding on holidays and saying it is part of some sort of tradition of extreme gluttony. Suppressing emotions with food is our god given patriotic right and taking a car everywhere no matter how close the benefit if being an American. The framework is being eaten by termites but that is compounded by the fact that we deny that they are there or that it will be fixed by ignoring this simple fact. And how come the president never Gave me Bin Laden dead, alive, or in some sort of coma. 8 years later and we never brought this man to justice and still they act as if the country is somehow safer. Yet, I was at the airport recently and they told me we were at alert level orange. Yet nobody explained what the hell this meant or what I should do with this information that merely makes the blood pressure jump ever so slightly. As long as we are on edge we are more likely to needlessly consume and help keep a non-sustainable economy moving along as the dollar begins to move towards the peso. Where is Jimmy Carter when you need him and soft southern accents seem to have more well received by the American people. Only 1/3 of us choose our president and about half that 1/3 favor the person who wins. Faking an acid trip is easy it consists of doing tai-chi in public and not being of Asian descent. I am not here or there I am nowhere man seeking to awaken Hemingway's Ghost after I round up all his crazy kats for a revolution in Key West which will spread like informercial products to a nation of insomniacs who can't sleep without Ambien because they don't know what the heck alert level orange means. Why can't the alert be aqua blue or purple those are much calming colors. I feel that airplanes should have instructional videos with jack Bauer as the host telling us how we can stop terrorism. The chaos of this world eventually fits together like puzzle pieces that don't appear as we first saw them because the floride in the water was messing with our depth perception.

To whom it May COncern
Someone somewhere will hear you when they are ready to step forward and know when to push and when to pull and when to do nothing at all. Perhaps we have all been kicked out of our house to make our way in a world where madness is called sanity. Is dying really all that bad or is at a blessing that we give after we have completed our mission. I have dated quite a few cutters and yet most were embarassed or shamed by it and other cultures it is a socially acceptable ritual, but maybe for different reasons. We don't need drugs we are the drug and yet people think I am holding out on them when I say meditation lead me here. Meditation is eveything it is about being present to what you are feeling in this moment, Don't stuff it anymore. Let it erupt and from there it will ooze into eveything you do. Look at your own ability to freely move as the waterways carry into the ocean until man gets in the way. We are part of something amazng and yet many of us spend a great part of our life denying what is truly our ultimate power which is the ability to love regardless of all the madness that surrounds us.

Do you See ME Do You Remeber ME
Will you start pretending will you be honest with what you want what you are ready for and what you true intention happens to be. Do you even know why you do what you do or is denial your constant vehicle that you travel through life in. What if we are driving through feels of gold but there is nothing that feeds the hunger or quench the thirst. In this moment we have an opportunity to connect and share a true human experience and we make "small talk". I love traveling because it always takes you out of being able to fall back into that unknown vastness. Time is something that we can step outside of and we don't have to keep doing the same thing. ALl of us are seeking for some sort of hope or joy to take away that anxiety of this world that people consider as some type of living. Flash back flash forward flash now and fire out what is buried deep in your colon and deep in the bowels from a past that can't be consumed. The wrists hurts and even George Michael loses his faith before he truly finds his freedom. We have such guilt and we pass it onto to others. Draw paint and express things so that can be released and inspire others to do the same.They want you to be something or perhaps they want you to be nothing or they can't even decide it merely depends on which personality has possessed them at this very moment. The itch never goes away and Billie Hoilday is not just reference to the past but a feeling you have in the present. Everyone is at some point in their process and broken wings can mend or perhaps we realize that even the wings are merely magic feathers strung together.

FInding the Joy of Now
On the road or off that road on the backroads or byways no more highways going to the sky and other realms that we reach when the mind becomes a space with what some call "Zen mind" or "god mind". We are all here to find that place that screams yes you are home you are finally here. At times many people are too busy to feel their feelings and lifes dealings. We are jazz musicians without saxophones or clarinets but they exist deep in that core. A return to the 1920's can a nomad/hobo find a train to hop anymore looking for that next place that says "Yes you are home". Yet home to me becomes more and more abstract and most people are seeking anywhere but inside. Many times you need to get away from everything that you know and everyone who thinks that they know you and create specifically to the moment that you are in without dragging the past along with you. Magic happens when we surrender to a law that most people don't understand or refuse to accept, but it still dictates so much of what is happening whether we accept it or not. Can I become a born again jew or Rabbi they are always trying to recruit me whether it is Miami or NYC. Jews just want to keep you in the fold. Everyone wants to be a member of some club or group and only a few actually just want to be. Compassion is destroyed when people consider maintaining an image without any consequences to the feelings of others. Sometimes I catch myself wanting to hold onto a grudge to a moment that is gone. It is as insane as trying to swim in the oceans once you have moved to the desert. Laughing has s great power and most of us could use a lot more of that power. Now in this moment I know that my liberation is mine if will just give everything good or bad over to something beyond me. Let it all channel through and maybe if you are meant to then you will find yourself splashed all over and having your message reflected back at you. Back to the present back to the present.

Music Festival Magic
Our generations eccentrics, adventurers, and seekers go to these events desiring to experience something beyond the montonmy of everyday living that stifles people's imaginations. We all want to tap into our individual creative process and find in that exists healing. I am seeking that inner rainbow that exists inside of being that Judy Garland song to me when I felt that perhaps that I wouldn't ever find it. She told me a truth in her song not her disney image, but her real story was something that leads me on my quest on the yellow brick road. Perhaps the hordes of young and old people attending these festivals are following their own yellow brick roads and all leads to the same place. I have seen a greater awakening of the youth of this country and given other outlets that have an intense curiousity that far exceeds the previous the generations. The good news is that we are all part of life as much as we allow ourselves to be involved in the process. We can not give up because we each have a story that has to be seen all the way to end or a new beginning. I don't want to tell anyone how to live their life because I don't want anyone to do that for me. We are all unraveling and finding ourself returning closer to the source or the starting point. The Now is the most hopeful moment and running out the door before we are centered is cheating ourselves and the world that we enter into. When people ask me how I am doing? I just say "present" because that is the most accurate thing that I can express in words.

Spring Break And Healing
I am down in Miami walking around running into numerous college kids from all over and quite a few of them are aeeking some other then the stereotypical drunken haze of spring break. This is not to say that they don't still desire this aspect, but they still have yearning for something more profound. We all want to become more aware of who we are and our potential. Recently a good friend of mine pointed out to me there is a time to be in the stillness and a time to display a personality so that people can more easily relate to you so that you can them help to become more aware of their own inner stillness. There is a balance between yogi and politician. I am continuously realizing the importance of being in that state. I am seeking to express and explore all the components that make up what we simply call love. I have more a yearning to be of service and to help people consider the possibilities beyond what society has dictated to them. We must being willing to listen to that inner voice and create new genres of music, art, and film that go beyond previous understanding. We say things can't be done because we haven't seen it occur or we refuse to see it bevause it would threaten our current set of beliefs or we are terrified of being wrong because then we might have to change. I don't want to sell people short, but I don't desire to blow the proverbial smoke there are enough people to do that. Silencing the mind leads to a greater ability to hear the inner counsel and combine that with compassion. The silence of the mind is a great start, but that alone is not enough it must be merged with a great compassion and willingness to serve humanity for humanity is you.

Getting Closer To Higher Truth
It is something that is more subtle and something that brings us closer to a greater understanding of the world and where we have been and where we are going as individuals and as a society. We as individuals make-up society and we need to be willing to stray from social norms so that we can begin to create new patterns which are healthier for society. Many people will resist this, but you must do what feels right in your heart and not just go along with things because it seems easier to do. That will merely cause more suffering for everyone involved. You must be willing to stand alone and realize that you were never alone. We are part of awakening of talents people are becoming aware that they are much more capable of doing things that years ago would have seemed very foreign. We have become so disconnected from the natural rhythms of nature and have created a world in which we are immersed in the lives of drama filled celebrities always seeking to ignore what lays dormant inside of our being. I feel things as I walk around subtle magnetic tugs that bring me to certain people that I have met along the way ore people who might need my assistance or might need their assistance. Yesterday on the beach I witnessed hundreds if not thousands of spring break college kids doing their rituals. Some of them are searching for something greater and I was lead to a few of them. It always varies how much they want to seek within themselves and I merely act as a reflection for those who yearn to find a greater peace inside of their being not dependent upon externals. It is very easy to be distracted from things outside of ourselves yet it is so important to plunge inwards towards the pleasure that exists inside of our being. I continue to thank the higher source for the many blessings that have been bestowed upon me. We are the light that continues to expand into the world. We must continue to plunge deeper into our being and clear out the mind. Clear out out the mind and you will have greater insight into all things concerning life in this world. Be that change and be that mirror for the world.

Healing Old Wounds
Every now and then in life we are given a chance to directly undo karmic debt with someone we met along the way. In our lives we weren't always as aware as we are now at this point and we were taken over by rage, jealousness, bitterness and other such things. Perhaps we will encounter these people and have a chance to help heal an old wound. This has happened to me recently and the healing takes place in a way that words can not capture. I am in Miami Florida right now listening to chanting music and have recently gotten back from a music festival in the Everglades known as Langerado. Along the way numerous people cross our paths and some of perhaps are people we that wronged in previous lifetime though we may have no conscious awareness of this, but an overall sense that we owe them some debt of service. I firmly believe in Karma and past lives and that sometimes we pay off our debt directly or indirectly. I used to be quite mean to a friend of my sisters when we were kids and yesterday we were lead to each other in a strange way to help repair some of those wounds. When the process had run its course I got up bowed and went on my way. There is a continuous flow that guides us if we listen to it. We are all apart of this flow and it will take us on all sorts of adventures. I am blessed to have all the spiritual riches that I have been given and blessed to be able to help so many people along the way. I continue to contemplate my immortality in physical body and debate between what is destiny and how much we can change our destiny. We may not be able to control the ride, but we can decide how to respond what happens on our journey. I want to bless everyone out there who has helped me along the way. At music festivals I get a chance to connect with all sorts of people that I have met along the way. At the last festival I saw a good friend from Boston named Dan and I could see his progress in his meditation path and along with another friend we held a spontaneous meditation circle that many people felt and a few joined at the music festival. These festivals are great places in many senses because people are coming to search for something. Most people don't step outside of their comfort zones and therefore they don't expand and stay with what is familiar. We all have opportunities to expand our awareness in each moment. Being in this moment and aware of what it holds is the key to being open to the gift of the here and now wherever that may be.

Gearing up for winter.
10/30/2011 at 9:07 am 3 comments
Let's see…what's been happening? Susie and Anna's fleeces from the spring shearing got 2nd and 3rd place in the fleece competition at the Tunbridge World's Fair. I spent a couple of glorious days spinning away in the sheep barn, telling anyone who would listen of the joys of handspinning. Beats working any day.
Then I was blessed with Bethel's most awesome work crew…the Munyon/Reisterer/Smith clan all came over on Saturday. The boys replaced the posts on my pole barn, where the wood and the tractor and snowblower live, so it won't collapse under the weight of all the snow. I'm hopeful that since that actually got done, we'll have a low snow winter 🙂
We all took turns at the wood splitter, and split up all the rest of that butternut tree, along with some logs that Alex had generously brought over from clearing their house site. Most of that got stacked even. The great news…I think there's more than enough to get thru this winter, so I won't have to buy any more wood!

That shed looks like it will withstand the heaviest Vermont snows! But I'm with you…here's hoping it won't have to.
Sounds like you are getting there – and that it will be a wonderful winter for you this year – your own space! Your own special world!
Congratulations on the ribbons! Are you planning to sell any of your fleeces or keep all that goodness for your own use?

Is "Classical Music" Fading Into Obscurity?
Posted on August 9, 2009
Copyright © 2009 by Richard Warren Field
What has happened to "classical music?" Is it doomed to marginalization, and eventual oblivion? Let's take the second question first. No, "classical music" will continue to survive, even thrive, depending on how it is perceived. For the first question, we will need a more nuanced, detailed answer. And within that answer, we will understand the "no" answer to the second question.
I need to start by defining what we mean by "classical music." People have a general idea what the common use of the term "classical music" refers to. But for the sake of clarity, I want to discuss this term, then settle on a practical, working definition.
For conservatory educated musicians, "classical music" refers to a period from the mid 1700s to the early 1800s, with specific approaches to form, harmony and compositional technique. This group might refer to what most people call classical music as "serious music," or "concert music." They would ask "what about baroque music or music from the romantic period?" But all these periods, for the general public, are rolled up into one type of music—"classical music."
"Classic" can also refer to the best of a category. Definitions from Dictionary.com include "of the first or highest quality, class, or rank," "of literary or historical renown" and "definitive." This certainly could apply to the type of music we think of when we talk about classical music. The idea is that this music has stood the test of time. But this definition of "classic" or "classical" is not the way most people use the term for music.
We will set aside verbal nits and picks and adopt the common meaning of the phrase "classical music." We will refer to "classical music" as music played by an orchestra, or by orchestral instruments in small groups (called "chamber music" by the conservatory types). "Classical music" generally does not refer to film music, though this line can be blurred. (I will discuss film music in more detail later.) So we will use the term "classical music" to refer to non-film music played by orchestras or orchestral instruments in smaller groups.
It is undeniable that classical music has slipped from the cultural mainstream. To find out why, we need to look at the changes that have taken place in how and when music is delivered to the public. Before recorded music, music was a rarer, more special event occurrence. A recital in a concert hall, or perhaps a trained musician in his or her home had to sit down and make an effort to produce the music. In the concert hall, the listener focused entirely on the music. This was also true for the performer in his or her home, or at a festival or special event. Now, people hear music on their car radios, and as background to many activities, including riding in an elevator and grocery shopping. To be commercially successful, music today has to carve out its attention, and demand it, to be successful. Classical music does not come across effectively from a car radio, and does not demand attention the way more "pop" forms do. It is more subtle, and does not cut through background activity the way a big electric guitar sound or other electronically recorded music does. So our ways of experiencing music have changed. We live in a different world, different from the world that spawned much of what we now call classical music.
I am arguing here that classical music is not doomed to be relegated to insignificance. But it could be doomed if we talk about it in terms of an intellectual exercise. Human beings listen to music for the emotions it evokes, not as a puzzle to solve. It is a mistake to offer classical music as something that is subtle, and can only be appreciated after study and education. Such an approach is certain to discourage young or even older potential classical music enthusiasts, especially when these same people aren't required to labor to enjoy the music they're familiar with. And "study" is not the way human beings experience music in most cultures.
So how should classical music be offered? The way music in most cultures is offered—for the feelings, the moods, the emotions it evokes. So when introducing Beethoven's Fifth to a general audience, instruction shouldn't start off with an in-depth study of the sonata-allegro form. The piece evokes "fate knocking at the door," with a feeling of triumph at the end. Once that mood is understood and absorbed, then the brilliant compositional technique of Beethoven, using a four note motif to string out this masterpiece, has a more powerful meaning. Beethoven's Ninth is an "Ode to Joy." The pages of vocal parts written in the high range allow, almost force, the musicians to exclaim the joy written in the music. And it really isn't necessary to understand German to relate to the music. More recently (within the last hundred years), we have Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring," with its complex time signatures distorting rhythms, its dissonant wanderings in and out of various tonalities and the adventurous instrumental combinations. But the music is better studied after we listen to it in the context as background music for the primitive ritual Stravinsky depicts, the ritual of a young girl in a prehistoric time dancing herself to death. In Adagio for Strings, Samuel Barber voices strings with rich harmonies and motivic development to create a mood of utter pathos. But the utter pathos needs to be absorbed first, before studying the technique and form. Emphasis on the feelings of music, the emotions it stirs, will then allow us to take those pieces of music and look deeper into other compositional techniques: how counterpoint acts to heighten complexity, how certain harmonies create tension and how those tensions then release in a satisfying way to the listener. But the technical aspects will not be appreciated if the first step, of latching onto those moods and feelings, is skipped.
Also, there is one way our culture is exposed to the classical music style—in film and television background music. That music is specifically created to bring feelings to a piece of film—a scary part of a horror film, a romantic moment in a dramatic film, a pratfall in a comedy or a dignified section of a documentary. For skeptical students, who still believe they will never relate to classical music, these clips could be played to show the emotions and moods they evoke, and the film clips could be shown with and without the musical passages. Barber's "Adagio for Strings" referred to earlier has been used countless times in films. The pathos from that music effectively adds that feeling to a piece of film. Only the most jaded, closed-minded listener would fail to recognize how effectively that music evokes that feeling.
Film music itself does not fit the definition I have offered for "classical music." There is a sizable group of people who collect film music and would argue that this could be the "classical music" of tomorrow. Film music has been crafted into concert suites by composers, including music written by well-known luminaries like Aaron Copland ("Of Mice and Men," "Red Pony") and Serge Prokofiev ("Lieutenant Kijé," "Alexander Nevsky"). Classical music, as I have defined it here, is also used in films. I mentioned earlier the use of Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings." I suspect most in our culture have heard this piece, though only a handful of afficianados would be able to name it. The same is true of the introductory fanfare to Richard Strauss's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra," Johann Sebastian Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" and George Frideric Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" from "The Messiah."
So the key to the appreciation of classical music is to focus on what music almost always aspires to do—evoke emotions, evoke moods—taking the listener on a journey of sound with dramatic twists and turns along the way. With that focus, classical music will stay alive and even thrive. The music that touches people the most, that moves them the most deeply, and that resonates with a timeless quality, a timeless humanity, impervious to context, will be the music that is played over and over again, the music that will survive through the generations.

When making fashion choices, it's easy to see just from looking around that people are more prone to purchase an article of clothing if they've seen it worn by one of their favorite stars or if they've seen it worn in one of their favorite movies, sitcoms or reality shows by a cast member. They might even choose to purchase that crazy colored dress that they saw the weather girl wearing on their local news channel.
From TV to Reality
It's easy to think that if it looks good on TV it will certainly look good in real life. TV has inspired so many forms of fashion from sundresses worn by Elizabeth Taylor to white suits worn by disco dancing John Travolta. It's easy for people to associate themselves with TV stars. A thin, brown haired girl with long legs may associate herself with Daisy Duke and have no problem sporting around in cut-off shorts, just as a tall, lanky man with a thick mustache associates himself with Sam Elliott and dresses in western attire from his hat to his boots. When people associate themselves with someone on TV whether it's by their physical appearance or by personality, they may choose to dress in the same fashion.
TV and Fashion Go Hand in Hand
Fashion and TV go hand in hand. When a popular star wears a certain outfit in a popular movie, fashion trends are set both by the movie and by the star. People want to be able to have that fashion item and they want to be able to have that look and style that they've found so appealing in the movies. A successful movie can introduce a whole new line of fashion to the public. If a movie is a hit then the fashion designer that was able to have his clothing used in the movie is going to have a lot of help pushing his product so that the public has access to it.
A great movie with awesome stars can not only benefit the film industry but it can also benefit the fashion industry as well as the retail industry.
Monkey See Monkey Do
Many people will choose to wear an item that they've seen someone else wear on TV even though it may not complement them as they think it does. Certain fashion items are made for people of particular sizes and shapes and not every outfit is made for every person. This applies to both men and women. Just because something looks good on a star on TV doesn't mean that it is going to make others look like television stars. There are many fashion items that have been worn on TV that really shouldn't be worn by people in the real world no matter what size or type of person they are. Not every outfit that is seen on TV is meant to be repeated in reality.
When choosing fashion, people should choose what complements their own body type and what makes them look good as well as feel good. See www.DirectTVDeal.com for satellite TV prices.
