text: Divine Decadence is described as a "soft bronze [with a Velvet finish]." It's a dark, bronze-shimmered brown with red-orange undertones and a frosted sheen. The texture was a little dry and, in a way, gritty. It had good color payoff, though, but it was a little messy to use and didn't blend as easily. It didn't apply as intensely as the single I have does. Clarins The Essentials #7 (LE) is darker. Clinique Fuller Fudge (P, $17.00) is a cream product, darker. Milani Intermix (P, $6.99) is similar. MAC Sable (P, $15.00) is less warm-toned. See comparison swatches.

NORTH LIBERTY, Ind. (July 16, 2012) - The World Karting Association Manufacturers Cup MKP Nationals ended in a high note for Checkered Motorsports. The team secured three top five finishes and 10 top ten finishes for the weekend from the sportsman to the senior rankings despite the hot weather.
J.P Southern Jr. powered his way during the MKP Nationals recording a remarkable four top ten finishes in all five classes that he entered. Southern Jr. put on a stellar drive in Cadet Sportsman 2 with a ninth place finish after qualifying 22nd. In Komet Sportsman the young pilot would come has high as the third spot, until contact forced him to settle for a ninth place finish. He would not stop there and recorded his best finish in the weekend with a sixth place spot in Yamaha Sportsman 2.
The TaG field consisted of Zack Busch , Kyle Smith, and Robert Bujdoso as they used their Mxk8's to secure an impressive two podiums and three top ten finishes. Kyle Smith had a disappointing qualifying run in Leopard and TaG Final 1. Despite missing the qualifying setup, Smith and R. Bujdoso charged their way through the field in TaG Final 1 with both drivers weaving through a combined 13 karts. R. Bujdoso would run up to the fifth place spot until a throttle cable snapped early in the TaG Final 1 feature. Smith would settle for a eighth place finish and Busch with a DNF. In the Leopard category R. Bujdoso would finish in a strong second place finish with Smith falling for a DNF. In TaG Final 2 Zack Busch had his best qualifying run of the weekend with a 10th place starting spot. The pre-final Busch would run a solid 12th place finish while Smith showed his race craft to finish 14th after starting 20th. The 16 lap final R. Bujdoso settled in the fifth spot as Smith would be just shy from a top ten finish with a 12th place finish. Busch once again showed speed, but was unfortunate to get into an incident in the opening laps of the race.
Weston Moon had a great race during the Yamaha Supercan Lite field finishing third after qualifying fifth. Unfortunately for the Indiana native, Moon suffered a leg injury in Yamaha Supercan Heavy which hindered him to start for the main event. Moon's replacement pilot consisted of Finnish native Matias Koykka. Koykka put on a stellar show starting from the 23rd spot to finish 12th in the MRP circuit after never touching a steering wheel since the SKUSA SuperNats XV.
Komet Piston Port Jr. Heavy Andrew Bujdoso finished a disappointing 26th after running as high as 15th place until making a driver error. Komet Piston Port Jr. Lite ended no better after getting the meatball flag for dragging the bumper.
In TaG Masters Kim Carapalletti lead the way with a 7th finish as well as a 4th. Tom Gerstner was not far behind in TaG Master Final 1 placing in the 13th spot.
Checkered Motorsports next stop will be at Norway, Illinois for the Kart Lift Nationals on August 3-5. For more information visit us at www.checkeredmotorsports.com.

This wkend my husband and I spent the night in the ER. He awoke me at 2 am w/ shortness of breath and chest discomfort. We went to the ER to make sure things were OK and luckily, the dr said it was stress related. My husband and I have a fantastic relationship. I knew he was nervous about this pregnancy, but never realized how much he was worried. This time last yr, our daughter died (she was born at 26 wks d/t severe PE). This preg is also complicated by the fact that I'm having preterm labor. As if those things weren't enough, they also saw a cyst on the baby's brain - a risk of chromosonal problems. We refused the amnio because we decided we wouldn't terminate, no matter the test results.
I am not sure how to comfort/reassure/be there for my husband. I am 20 wks, so we aren't even to the scariest part yet. He made an appt w/ his family dr (his BP has been up, probably also stress related). He refuses to see a counselor or even talk to his friends or family.
I'd appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!
Mom to Elissa - 12/16/03 - 1/6/04 Born @ 26 wk d/t severe preeclampsia (I also have clotting disorder)

Blogger Custom Domains, the new feature that allows you to have a blog on your own domain, but hosted by Google for free, had a small bug discovered by Tony Ruscoe and Art-One. When you enter a domain, Google doesn't check if it's your domain (there's no reliable way to do that). To setup your blog, you need to create a CNAME record that points your domain to ghs.google.com. But it's not necessary to do that for ghs.google.com itself.
As Art-One discovered, a blog owner entered ghs.google.com by mistake and his blog was hosted on google.com. The problem is that a page hosted on google.com can read your Google cookie and send it to a server. Someone who has your Google cookie can access your account, if you're already logged in. Fortunately, that blog didn't use any malicious scripts, Google was notified and the problem was fixed quickly.
Tony writes more about the issue and reveals some interesting things:
* You can use Blogger Custom Domains to redirect your blog to another domain or subdomain (you can claim it only once). Even though this feature is useful if you move from Blogger and decide to use another blog software (for example, Wordpress installed on your domain), spammers will have an easier way to redirect BlogSpot blogs to their ugly domains.
* Google should make sure "nobody can host or inject content (and particularly scripts)" on google.com.
* It's a good idea to log out of Google when you're not using Google services and to delete your cookies from time to time (for example, at the end of each bowser session).
Incidents like this are rare and there's no reason to panic.

I will seriously shoot myself in the face before I leave that cage if she armbars me again. It cant happen, says Miesha Tate of her upcoming rematch with womens UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.
The two fought under the Strikeforce banner and Tate became another opponent to lose to Rousey by way of first-round armbar. However, Tate did go out in gritty fashion by refusing to tap and having her arm broken instead.
This time around she has no intention of falling for the same trick twice and so she tells MMA FightCorner that she will be having an anti-judo camp in the run-up to the UFC 168 fight, which will be the UFCs last title fight of 2013.
Its never too early to train and practice that gameplan over and over and over, Im going to beat it into my skull if I have to.Swear to God, shes not going to armbar me if its the last thing I do Thats what Im going to do from now until December 28, its going to be an anti-judo camp, she says.
Everyone thinks its an armbar, its not. Its like a move of its own.

Sylvania chef seeks to 'wow': Element 112 among venues helping kick off Restaurant Week ToledoWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
Chris Nixon of Element 112 wants to wow guests with unusual menu items and surprise them with unexpected presentations. But most of all, he wants to give them space to relax and connect.
"One of my favorite things growing up was having dinner with my family at the lake," said the chef and co-owner of the Sylvania restaurant, which recently marked its first year in business. "You'd get some corn and a good steak on the grill. Everybody sits down, you relax, have a few drinks and before you know it, you've talked for three hours. Those were the best dinners and it's cool when you're carefree and you can do that.
"In today's world, that's kind of forgotten. We eat separately and go on our way and people miss out on other people's lives because they are going through Facebook instead of talking to them."
Element 112 will be among the local eateries featured at Restaurant Week Toledo's Kickoff Party on Feb. 19 at the Secor Building, 425 Jefferson Ave. The kickoff event, sponsored by Hylant, will feature food samples from several Restaurant Week Toledo menus as well as beer and wine tastings. Tickets are $25.
Among the other restaurants to be featured at the kickoff will be Burger Bar 419, Caper's, ICE Restaurant and Bar, Koreana, La Scola Italian Grill, Poco Piatti, Registry Bistro, Revolution Grille and Rosie's Italian Grille. The event will also include coffee and desserts from Black Kite Coffee, Plate 21 and The Café at The Oliver House.
The fourth annual Restaurant Week Toledo is set for Feb. 24-March 2. The event, presented by Medical Mutual, will feature dozens of locally owned restaurants, including venues in Toledo, Maumee, Perrysburg, Swanton, Sylvania and more. Each restaurant will feature a special menu priced at $10, $20 or $30. (Drinks, taxes and gratuities are not included unless specified.) A portion of proceeds will benefit two youth programs of Leadership Toledo: Youth Leadership Toledo and Students in Action.
At Element 112, Nixon, 28, who grew up in Sylvania and graduated from St. John's Jesuit High School, deliberately kept the restaurant small. It seats 44 people in the main dining room and 14 in a private room, which features a glass wall and access to the kitchen to encourage interaction.
Nixon studied at the French Culinary Institute in New York City and worked at Craft Restaurant in New York City, owned by "Top Chef" judge Tom Colicchio. He also worked at Noma in Denmark, regularly rated as one of the best restaurants in the world.
While Nixon was working at The BoatHouse Restaurant in Coldwater, Mich., a group of people looking to open a restaurant in Sylvania offered him a job. Nixon said he loves being back in his hometown.
"I was really excited to be back," Nixon said. "I did not think we would be as busy as we are. I thought the concept was too different and people would not want to come, but it's been crazy — absolutely crazy."
The name has several meanings. It's a reference to Nixon returning "to his element" after cooking around the world. It's also a reference to his initials: Element 112 on the periodic table is Copernicium, which is abbreviated Cn.
All the food on Element 112's menu is foraged, farmer-sourced or made in-house.
Nixon and his staff personally forage for mulberries, raspberries, wood sorrel, pine cones, nettles and spruce shoots and more.
"There's people who talk about doing a seasonal restaurant and it's once every three months they change their menu," Nixon said. "We're seasonal to the day. Our menu alters two to three times a week."
"When you find something in the woods that day, you're not fighting seasons, you're not shipping something in from Mexico, the flavors are bigger and cleaner.
"That's the thing that's missing from the modern food world. Mass agriculture makes it possible to get a watermelon any time of the day, any time of the year. It's different when you force yourself to use it when it's there and when it's perfect. When Mother Nature says, 'This is perfect right now,' we want that. The menu concept is entirely unique for Toledo. We're the only ones doing it and we're seeing the response."
Element 112 offers an à la carte menu and two chef tasting menus, which range in price from $29-$50. The dining room menu features four "element dishes," representing earth, fire, air and water.
"They are meant to be an experience," Nixon said. "When you share courses, everybody has the same thing. There's a mutual thing to talk about. That's kind of the idea. We want them to laugh and relax and have something to talk about."
Element 112 is located at 5735 N. Main St. in Sylvania. Hours are 5-9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 5-10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and closed Sunday and Monday except for special events.

iPhone 5 vs. Nexus 4: Spec shoot out
Google and LG have just announced their all-new Android 4.2 flagship phone, the Nexus 4 and it's a doozy. We all know Apple and the iPhone 5 are more about experience and ecosystem than speeds and feeds, but that doesn't mean we're not still curious how exactly those specs stack up. After all, specs are the engine that drive the experience, and while Apple's end-to-end integration lets them get better results with less horsepower, it's still fun to see what Android manufacturers are able to cram into their devices.
We also tossed in a couple other Android flagship devices, including the ubiquitous Samsung Galaxy S3 and stellar HTC One X as well as the also upcoming Windows 8 Phone, the Nokia Lumia 920.
So check out the chart up top, and if you want to know more about the Nexus 4, our Mobile Nations sibling site, Android Central, has you coved:

iPhone 5 vs. Nexus 4: Spec shoot out
Yes they are. $349 for 16 GB unlocked. Can't beat that.
16 gigs and no SD, talk about throwing away one of the real advantages Android has.
Great price, but only 16GB and no LTE?
Looks like the entire Nexus line is moving to mid-range. That's disappointing.
You realize that the 16GB iPhone is the most popular for a reason right? Its cheaper.
No LTE? Remember that time when an iPhone launched and there was no LTE? The world didn't end. I don't think it will now.
Besides LTE, this phone stands on equal ground with the rest of the competition.
It's like bizarro world now. Android/Nexus users defending no LTE and catch up features that are just responses to iOS. Apple users defending inferior screen quality for ipad mini.
Things could be worse, I couldn't even make it through the Microsoft event today. That was painful. The Kid's Corner segment was the tipping point. I uninstalled windows 8 last night and feel bad for wasting 40 dollars. Back to windows 7.. That's a new first for me as a Windows user since day one. The experience is just simply horrible on a desktop..
I'm still all Android and no LTE for me is a complete dealbreaker, hands down. I believe one of the reasons they did this was to keep the price down and because this phone won't be going to VZW, which is the only network with actual decent 4GLTE coverage. Still does HSPA+ but I could NEVER buy a phone anymore after having LTE for almost 2 years. 3G/HSPA+(fake 4G) is still enabled
The Nexus 4 unlocked price is half the price of iPhone 5.
I don't really like Android, but that's quite attractive.
It seems that after Google got pushed by Amazon into contributing to the obliteration of all profits from the Android tablet market, Google decided to do the same to the Android phone market.

We have seen this slide; the "slippery slope" -- in our own time, especially regarding sexual matters (particularly in the last 50 years). It's so patently obvious that I need not even provide specific examples. If a reader is unaware of them, from a Christian (especially Catholic) perspective, then my point will be lost on them, anyway. I am presupposing a certain adherence to traditional Christian morality.
The great "dissent" now (one of many) among self-professed "Christians" is cohabitation, or premarital sex. It is considered fine and dandy and no sin at all, as long as the couples are (here is the obligatory huge loophole) "committed" to each other. Have you heard this rhetoric before? It is casually assumed today, even among allegedly committed, traditional Christians of all stripes who claim to be upholding Christian teaching in their lives. Polls on the matter (see a related paper of mine) are quite alarming.
Lo and behold, if we are to find a justification for premarital sex, in the sense of the small loophole (the one that unscrupulous folks will turn into a gaping hole big enough for a truck to drive through), we need go no further than Martin Luther: the founder of Protestantism. Luther's case is quite to the point, because it illustrates how societal morals start to degenerate: slowly and step-by-step.
Luther opposed fornication and adultery in general. He was not an advocate of promiscuity and licentiousness and "sowing wild oats." I want to make that clear from the outset. People who think that is what he taught are being foolish and rather stupid. For an overview of his position, see Luther on Women: a Sourcebook (translated by Susan C. Karant-Nunn and Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks), New York and Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003.
It's much, much more subtle than that (which is precisely my point). I'm happy to freely grant Luther his good and honorable intentions with regard to what I will cite from his writing (I always have been at all times). Like many of his errors, he truly thought he was on the side of the angels; had the very best of intentions. No one need deny that. I've always thought this about almost all of the errors and heresies of the so-called Protestant "reformers."
We can extend the charity of the benefit of the doubt, and take men at their own word, even if we strongly disagree with them on principle, and decry the eventual bitter fruit of these errors in the long run. I've urged my readers to be very careful in interpreting Luther's statements about sexuality and marriage. I was even praised at the time for it, by Lutheran pastor Paul T. McCain: a prominent online presence, and normally quite hostile to my writings.
The harm in the long run comes from the slippery slope. Some principle has been compromised; its integrity is no longer upheld in toto. From there, folks with far less of a conscience and Christian intention and piety than Martin Luther will then exploit it, till it becomes bigger and bigger. The sea change starts with a trickle of water through the dike. The thousand-mile journey starts with one step. Without the trickle or the step (that seems small and inconsequential at the time), the larger events or degeneration of what once was, are not possible. I touched upon this in a 1997 radio interview with my friend Al Kresta (his words in green):
It's interesting, too, how in 1930, it was the Anglicans, in their conference that year, that changed it [i.e., the previously universal Christian prohibition of contraception] and they talked about "hard cases," just like we've heard in our time.
So it's the same kind of mentality: "it's only in hard cases, and we won't expand it any further than that." But obviously it has been [expanded].
Yeah. We've got three instances that come to mind here: the contraception case, which was argued [on the basis of] hard cases, "so let's permit it here"; then you have Roe v. Wade; "hard cases, well let's permit it here"; and of course the case before us today has to do with assisted suicide: "well, we need it for hard cases." But if the hard case argument has any historical meaning, then we know that what was once the hard case becomes the normal case.
Yeah, that's right.
So contraception has become well accepted under not just hard circumstances, but in almost all circumstances - same thing with abortion. And my guess is, you'll have the same thing with assisted suicide. Hard cases make bad law . . . So at the 1930 Lambeth Conference, the Anglican Church goes ahead and permits contraception in tough cases; the first time any Christian Church has permitted the use of contraception.
Besides the slippery slope and the fateful ethical loophole, another key to the whole process of the decline of societal morals and norms is the redefinition of terms. Abortion becomes "choice," etc. Again, I feel no need to even provide further examples, as most of my readers will know exactly what I am talking about. The abortion debate is notorious for self-serving semantics and word-games. That was crucial to the success of the anti-life forces from the outset. The same process occurs in theology, as people of a liberal, so-called "progressive" bent start redefining traditional terms and reshaping what is considered "orthodox" and what is not.
Luther elsewhere sanctioned, for example, bigamy. He was quite willing to allow exceptions to his usual disapproval of adultery, in the case of kings and princes. He expressed goofy views on polygamy and concubinage as well. Here are some examples of Luther's extraordinary laxity and compromise in (the proverbial) "hard cases," from the latter paper of mine (I was presenting the writing of Catholic historian Hartmann Grisar, with Luther's own words in blue):
In exceptional cases Luther permitted those bound to clerical celibacy, on account of "the great distress of conscience," to contract "secret marriages"; he even expressly recommended them to do so. 1 These unions, according to both Canon and Civil law, amounted to mere concubinage. Luther admits that he had advised" certain parish priests, living under the jurisdiction of Duke George or the bishops," to "marry their cook secretly." 2
At the same time, in this same letter written in 1540, he explains that he is not prepared to "defend all he had said or done years ago, particularly at the commencement." Everything, however, remained in print and was made use of not only by those to whom it was actually addressed, but by many others also; for instance, his outrageous letter to the Knights of the Teutonic Order who were bound by vow to the celibate state. Any of them who had a secret, illicit connection, and "whoever found it impossible to live chastely," he there says, "was not to despair in his weakness and sin, nor wait for any Conciliar permission, for I would rather overlook it, and commit to the mercy of God the man who all his life has kept a pair of prostitutes, than the man who takes a wife in compliance with the decrees of such Councils." "How much less a sinner do you think him to be, and nearer to the grace of God, who keeps a prostitute, than the man who takes a wife in that way?" 3

Teutonic Order and concerning the Abbots, cp. our vol. ii., p. 120.]
Of the Prince-Abbots, who, on account of the position they occupied in the Empire, were unable to marry so long as they remained in the monastery, he likewise wrote: "I would prefer to advise such a one to take a wife secretly and to continue as stated above [i.e. remain in office], seeing that among the Papists it is neither shameful nor wrong to keep women, until God the Lord shall send other wise as He will shortly do, for it is impossible for things to remain much longer as they are. In this wise the Abbe would be safe and provided for."
Ben M., who more or less started this post by first citing the Luther quote from Plass in a combox, provides yet another example of Luther's propensity towards compromise of Christian sexual morality (his bolding):
Cases of Conscience Pertaining to Marriage.
December, 1532. No. 414
"Cases for the consolation of consciences belong in confession and not in books. A certain man took a wife, and after bearing several children she contracted syphilis 229 and was unable to fulfill her marital obligation. Thereupon the husband, troubled by the flesh, denied himself beyond his ability to sustain the burden of chastity.
"It is asked, Ought he to be allowed a second wife? I reply that one or the other of two things must happen: either he commits adultery or he takes a second wife. IT IS MY ADVICE THAT HE TAKE A SECOND WIFE; however, he should not abandon his first wife but should provided for her sufficiently to enable to her to support her life….
"In such cases in which the conscience was troubled I HAVE OFTEN offered counsel not according to the pope but according to my office, according to the gospel. Nevertheless, I warned the persons involved not to make this judgment of mine public.
"I said to them, "Keep this to yourselves. If you can't keep it secret, take the consequences."
Note 229. Latin: morbum Gallicum, "French disease."
(Luther's Works, Volume 54: Table Talk (Tischreden), Theodore G. Tappert, ed., Helmut T. Lehmann, ed., Fortress Press, Philadelphia, ISBN 0800603540, pp. 65-66)
The present issue concerns couples secretly engaged, who are having sexual relations. Luther is on record as opposing the secret betrothal (except for exceptional cases such as those recounted above, and Henry VIII and Philip of Hesse). He wanted marriages to be open and sanctioned by the believing community (except, of course, for exceptional cases; e.g., Henry VIII and Philip of Hesse and red-blooded princes in monasteries, etc., and especially in light of the fact that some "papists" had shamefully sinned in the same way).
Unfortunately, however, his general principle (with many exceptions, according to expedience and relative situation) didn't prevent him from espousing a fatal loophole, by redefining the sexual relations of engaged couples as not fornication. If fornication is sex outside of marriage, and an engaged couple is not married, and has sex, then are they not engaging in fornication, or unlawful, immoral sexual practices? It would seem so. But Luther wants to draw the fine, fatal distinction. And so he wrote:
Secret intercourse of those who are engaged to each other can certainly not be considered fornication; for it takes place in the name and with the intention of marriage, a desire, intention, or name which fornication does not have. Thus there is a great difference indeed between fornication and secret intercourse after the promise of marriage.Lutheran editor Plass provides his own summary of this:
(Von Ehesachen [Concerning Matrimonial Matters], A. D. 1530; from What Luther Says, Ewald M. Plass, Concordia Publishing House, 1959, 3 volumes [1994, 3 volumes-in-one], #2796, p. 896)
To avoid offense, the betrothed should not yet live as married people. But any premature sexual intimacy between them, although reprehensible, should not be called fornication.The question itself (the device used to present Luther's teaching) was put in this way: "What About the Intercourse of the Betrothed?"
The 55-volume set of Luther's Works translates a bit differently ("whoredom" is different from the much broader category of fornication):
But that other poor girl now is left with nothing, and the punishment does not restore her honor, and a woman who has lost her honor is quite worthless because we do not regard the fruit of the womb as highly as the Jews. Yet this lying together in secret in anticipation of betrothal cannot be reckoned as whoredom, for it takes place in the name and with the intention of marriage, which spirit, intention, or name whoredom does not have. Therefore there is a great difference between whoredom and lying together in secret with the intention of betrothed marriage. Indeed, no Christian or honest man would do otherwise if he had gone so far that he would make the mistake of lying secretly with a girl on the promise of betrothal, if he thought that he would have to keep her and disavow all public betrothals subsequently entered upon.Can you see the self-contradiction in this? They are not married ("intention of marriage"; "promise of marriage"; "in the name . . . of marriage," etc.), yet in effect they are. Luther wants to have it both ways. Again, it is clear that they are not married; yet in order for what he suggests to have moral legitimacy, he has to make the situation as closely aligned to marriage as it can be. And the way he does that is to adopt the good old liberal "progressive", subjective, postmodernist mentality of the "good intention." The intention trumps objective morality. The morality is wholly subsumed by the fact of supposed "good intentions." We sure have heard that a lot in modern times, haven't we? Almost any imaginable sin can be rationalized away in this fashion. Even the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod: a traditional Lutheran denomination, understands full well the moral distinction under consideration:
(Vol. 46, p. 292)
CSC: WELS Topical Q&A: Dating/Engagement/Wedding Marital Bed During Engagement
Q: I have looked over the Q&A site and have not found the answer to my question. Recently I became engaged. My fiancée was, at one time, an atheist but has converted to Christianity. He was on this path before I met him, but by knowing me decided to become a WELS Lutheran because of our strict adherence to the Bible. I want to preface my question with saying my fiancee's faith is amazing. He knows that the Bible is infallible, looks to it unquestioningly, and bases his faith on it. However, living as an atheist for so many years, he is starting with very different beliefs than I am (WELS Lutheran since birth). In particular, we are divided on sex before marriage. I, of course, am opposed to premarital sex. He also is opposed to premarital sex when it comes to one-night stands, dating w/o intent to marry, etc. However, his "argument" for us is that by becoming engaged we are married. Because I have a ring on my finger I am his wife. So, we would not make the marriage bed impure (Hebrews 13:4). We would not be committing adultery (Matthew 5:27-28). He feels that, in his heart, having sex before a state recognized wedding is not wrong and cannot find where in the Bible he is contradicted. In fact, he argues that in Leviticus it says that an engagement is marriage. I'm conflicted because any passage I look up with him is not clear about this line between marriage, engagement and sex. Both of us have the desire to do God's will. Both of us want to grow in faith by living obedient lives in Christ. Please direct us to passages to read together about this issue. Thank you!
A: We share your joy about what you describe as a spiritual birth and growth on the part of your fiancee. Our prayer is that his faith and yours will continue to flourish as you focus on your Savior and his revealed Word in Scripture. And the crossroad at which you now find yourselves, namely in defining and making adequate distinctions between engagement and marriage, will likely play a key role in the way you approach Scripture as a couple in the future.
If you have already searched the archives of this website, you know that we find no Bible basis for making the custom of modern engagement tantamount or equivalent to marriage. Since sexual activity in the Bible is intimately linked only to marriage, and since sexual activity outside of marriage is always immorality, we believe and teach that premarital sex is sin -- even when people have deceived themselves into thinking it is okay.
One of the reasons why some have erred in thinking engagement is equal to marriage is that they think that the practice that prevailed in Bible times, namely betrothal, is the same as modern engagement. Betrothal, however, was in almost all respects comparable to modern weddings and marriage, not engagement. It was a formal arrangement publicly carried out, witnessed to satisfy all legal and social requirements, and gave the couple the status of husband and wife to the families and community and society. The only difference to modern marriage is that betrothal did not give the couple the right to live together or enjoy sexual activity -- until a stipulated period of time passed. This was done for a number of reasons, among them to fulfill the requirement that the couple had a place to live and the husband had a life's vocation and ability to support a family.
Modern engagement is not at all understood this way, is not treated this way in our legal or court system, and in the Christian community (with rare exceptions due to wrong understandings as noted above) does not grant the freedom to be sexually active. Feeling otherwise in one's heart does not change the Bible evidence and position, however.
You and your fiancee appear to be willing to submit to what the Bible says, but you seem to be tempted to see premarital abstinence as a custom or ecclesiastical tradition rather a Bible issue. If that is so, do not fall pray to this subtle but real temptation. The Bible always and only links God-pleasing sexual activity to the marriage bond. The burden of proof would be on you or anyone else to show that this is not so. And to think that engagement is the same as betrothal would be also wrong -- and not helpful since permission to be sexually active was not even given with betrothal. I am not sure what passage in Leviticus is supposed to show engagement is equal to marriage, but I assure you there is no such passage that does so. And, in fact, the modern custom known as engagement was unknown to that culture. Aside from that, Levitical laws pertained to the Old Testament nation of Israel and do not apply to anyone after Jesus Christ came and carried out our atonement.
I can only point you to the same passages that you are likely quite familiar with to show how sexual activity is linked to marriage. Genesis 2 and Hebrews 13:4 are fine examples. The passages condemning sex outside of marriage may be found by using your concordance and looking up adultery, sexual immorality, or fornication). I might also invite you to read Ephesians 5 from the start for tone and overall emphasis on how important our attitude is. And I am sure your pastor will appreciate the opportunity to speak with you about such things.
John Calvin concurs:
Hence, it is evident, that any mode of cohabitation different from marriage is cursed in his sight, and that the conjugal relation was ordained as a necessary means of preventing us from giving way to unbridled lust. Let us beware, therefore, of yielding to indulgence, seeing we are assured that the curse of God lies on every man and woman cohabiting without marriage.
(Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book II, Chapter VIII, section 41)
Let's take what Luther said (in opposition to the Bible, Catholicism, WELS, and John Calvin) and apply the same reasoning to your typical young couple today, who see nothing whatsoever wrong in living together and engaging in sexual intercourse. Why could they not reason the same way? Let's say, for the sake of argument, that the couple stating the following has pledged to get married; say after they get out of college in three years. It's a "long engagement":
"The sexual relations we are having can certainly not be considered fornication; for they take place in the name and with the intention of marriage, a desire, intention, or name which fornication does not have. Thus there is a great difference indeed between fornication and our loving sexual relations after our promise of commitment to each other and eventual marriage, when the time is right."How is this reasoning (i.e., applied in their case, by analogy) a whit different from Luther's? The crucial loophole has been opened; now all kinds of sin is capable of being rationalized. "We're committed to each other." "We're monogamous; we have no other partners, because of this commitment." "We are pledged to each other forever, and our physical relationship is a seal and sign of that commitment to each other." "It's different because we love each other." Do not all lovers naturally say this (often within a week or two of meeting; even sooner in some cases of "love at first sight")?
Today, not only heterosexual couples, but sexually active homosexual couples use this same exact reasoning. In fact, a person of that mind and inclination made his case repeatedly in very similar fashion, in a combox on this very blog, not long ago (ironically, in response to the decision of the ELCA: the largest Lutheran denomination in America, to accept practicing homosexual clergy). Once one defines a limited application; a "hard case" of a sin as not sin, then the door opens wide for any and every exploitation of the compromise, by those far less conscientious and scrupulous than the one who foolishly, naively introduced it. Fornication is what it is. Whoever is not married, and is engaging in sexual relations, is sinning, no matter how fancy Luther or theological liberals today can get with their subtle, sophisticated, nuanced, supposedly progressive and enlightened "moral logic."
Perhaps someone who accepts Luther's dubious moral reasoning in this regard can explain to me how it is essentially any different from the run-of-the-mill sanctioning of premarital sex and cohabitation today by many millions of young couples, and (sadly) millions of evangelical and committed Catholic and Orthodox Christians as well. If it ain't fornication simply because it is well-intentioned, and the couples are engaged or otherwise committed, what is it, pray tell?
Is it a sin at all? What is the name of the sin if it isn't fornication? Lust? That could hardly be, since Jesus made it clear that even lust was the equivalent of adultery; hence it could never be sanctioned. So what in the world is it? It's either right or wrong. If it's right, there should be no ambiguity about it whatsoever (and even Luther showed great ambiguity in this instance), and the young tradition-free "liberated" couple of today is free to do as they please. But if it is wrong, then there is no place for these satanic fine, relativist or pragmatic-type ethical distinctions (initially from invariably well-intentioned folks) that have been the ruin not only of individuals but of entire societies and civilizations in the long run.

For the sixth consecutive year, 6th and 7th grade students at East Cooper Montessori Charter School (ECMCS) have ventured into the local business community for a week of education on the basics of running a business. This is not the traditional job shadowing where a student follows a professional. ECMCS students get down and dirty in their respective professions. They are expected to perform jobs while on site and then write a thesis on the experience.
Laura Cicarelli interned in the marketing department of the College of Charleston where one of her activities was to summarize multiple articles for publication in a magazine.
Jacy Fletcher gardened, cleaned, stocked, organized and operated the cash register while working at the Sweetgrass Ace Hardware. "I think I did almost every job there," she said.
Jacob Ericksen sorted diamonds, engraved jewelry and organized the stock room for the family-owned jewelry store, Joint Venture. Ellen Rickenbaker, owner of Joint Venture, commented, "It was interesting to see our world through Jacob's eyes. Those tasks we considered rote were of most interest to him."
Caitlin Maher taught workouts and designed workout sessions for clients during her week at Next Level Fitness.
The ice and snow interrupted some of the internships, but the students persevered!

Belton (November 19, 2012) -- The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor men's basketball team will tip off the 2012-13 season at home Tuesday night fresh off the best regular season in program history. The Cru will welcome Southwestern University to the Mayborn Campus Center Tuesday for a 7:30 PM start in the second half of a women's-men's doubleheader.
UMHB will return eight letter winners and two full-time starters this season. G James Allen (Jr., The Woodlands) started 11 games and led the Cru with 65 assists and 46 steals last season. He also averaged 8.8 points and 3.1 rebounds per game and should be one of the team's top offensive threats again this year. F Kitrick Bell (Jr., Fort Bend) averaged 10.0 points and 5.6 rebounds per game in eight starts but missed time late in the season with injuries last year. He should join W Brian Todd (Sr., Pflugerville) in the starting front court. Todd started 18 games last season and averaged 7.6 points and 3.8 boards per game. W Thomas Orr (Sr., Hutto) and W Cory Meals (Sr., Whitesboro) could also play their way into the starting line-up after averaging 6.9 and 5.7 points per game respectively last season. W Cedric Hudson (So., Cedar Park) and F Kainon Irons (So., Abilene) will compete for larger roles after serving as key reserves last season. P Sheldon Jones (Sr., Houston) was expected to provide a rebounding presence inside, but will likely miss the season after suffering a serious injury in practice two weeks ago.
The back court will get a boost from a talented group of newcomers. G Antoine Chaney (Jr., Corsicana) transferred in from Temple Junior College and could claim the starting job at point guard. Layton Zinsmeister (Fr., The Woodlands), Avery Polchinski (Fr., Temple) and Darnelle Reese (Fr., Corsicana) also all have a chance to make immediate contributions this year. C's Russell Green (Fr., Klein) and Chris Burks (So., Little Elm) will have a chance to step into the void left by the injury to Jones in the paint. And the front court will also get a shot from W's Nick Kanu (Fr., Richardson), Sidney Deloach (Fr., Round Rock) and Jared Hamilton (Fr., Flower Mound). Those players will join F Braxton Tucker (Fr., Salado) in battling for time in the front court rotation, although Tucker could be limited early by an arm injury.
Following Tuesday night's game, the Cru will hit the road for a pair of games in the Pacific Northwest over the weekend. UMHB will face Whitworth University in a 5:00 PM Central Time start on Friday before closing out the trip at Whitman College in a 4:00 PM Central Time tip on Sunday. The Cru will then face Trinity University next Wednesday in San Antonio before returning home to open American Southwest Conference play against LeTourneau University on Saturday, December 1st.
UMHB finished 25-3 overall and posted a 20-1 in ASC play last season. The Cru hosted the ASC Tournament for the third time in the last five seasons and posted a school-record 24-1 regular season record. The Cru then fell to Trinity University in the opening round of the NCAA Division III National Championships.

the subject is who and how he knew, REVEALED FROM GOD not the old way through a priest/pastor/ messenger/ angel which is all the same thing...Not the issue of Peter or Rock , that is the redirect to get people to forget that God Deals with individuals on a one on one bases
Peter's experience was the same . . .it was the forerunner of how God would be communicating with the church. Jesus was the transition from following the law and prophets to hearing directly from God ourselves. I believe that's why Peter's name was changed. God was changing the identity, the face of his church.
Quote from: Novus-Ordo-Seclorum7 on January 25, 2011, 12:56:57 AMthe subject is who and how he knew, REVEALED FROM GOD not the old way through a priest/pastor/ messenger/ angel which is all the same thing...Not the issue of Peter or Rock , that is the redirect to get people to forget that God Deals with individuals on a one on one basesNo one is contradicting that first statement. You are right about that.But, he goes on to make the play on the word 'rock' for a reason. We are building our house on a rock. And each of us are lively stones. That is the church, the ekklesia, the body of Christ. That is the stone cut without hands. The rock is Christ.Matthew 7:25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock."rock"G4073πέτραpetrapet'-raFeminine of the same as G4074 a (mass of) rock (literally or figuratively): - rock.
the foundation IS the subject=Revelation
Few of us are honest enough with ourselves to cry out to God to be completely (set Free) from the traditions of men, from cultural, parental, political mind-sets which effect how we read the Scriptures.
My take on it.......the point was, He asked Peter who HE said He was. He had already named off a list of MEN given as explanations of His "true" identity by other men, and they were not correct. At that moment, the FATHER revealed to Peter by His Spirit that the One that spoke to him was the Son of the living God, who IS (not will be or was) in heaven, and therefore is Spirit. Jesus said essentially the same thing later to someone else, when He said basically I'm standing right here talking to you, but I'm in heaven. This is why we're to know no man after the flesh, because when we get to a point of hearing His voice ALL THE TIME, (other) tongues will cease (when that which is perfect shall come = perfected LOVE), and I have heard Him speak thru people that didn't even know Him, yet I heard HIS voice. It was astonishing.....
Now, answering, Jesus said to him, "Happy are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood does not reveal it to you, but My Father Who is in the heavens.He makes us: The dove who hears!

Model Practices
In the Spotlight
Congratulations to the 2015 Model Practices. Winners were recognized at NACCHO Annual in Kansas City, MO.
2015 Model Practice Awardees
NACCHO is pleased to honor the 2015 recipients of Model Practice and Promising Practice awards, which will be available in the online, searchable Model Practices database.
The Model Practices Database
Since 2003, the NACCHO's Model Practices honors initiatives—including programs, resources and tools—that demonstrate how local health departments and their community partners can effectively collaborate to address local public health concerns. Ten years and hundreds of practices later, NACCHO introduces several interactive review features to the Model Practices Database.
The Model Practices Database is a resource to
1. Get an idea: find proven initiatives, programs, resources, administrative practices and tools that address local public health needs
2. Give an idea: submit an application about your innovative program or practice developed to meet a particular public health program or concern.
3. Try an idea: don't reinvent the wheel, put a practice to the test in your community
4. Evaluate an idea: what did you think? Leaving feedback leads to continuous quality improvement.
5. Reference an idea: when you refer to the Model Practices Database in a speech or a paper, you're sharing what works in local public health.

The Toyota Camry has been the best-selling car in America for twelve years now. The Camry is a massive success and with good reason-- it's got proven reliability, a quiet and spacious interior, good fuel economy and now, exciting exterior styling. For anyone who needs quiet, comfortable transportation for up to five people without breaking the bank, the Camry is invariably the place to start the search. With a starting MSRP of under $23,000 the Camry offers a ton of versatility for the price, but can also be optioned up to give buyers that luxury car feel if they so desire.
Compare the 2015 Toyota Camry against similar models
The Toyota Camry returns for 2015 with a full redesign, Toyota's engineers giving the car brand new styling, inside and out. The result is a much more striking Camry, with much bolder lines and a sportier demeanor. Even with these changes, buyers will be happy to find that the Camry continues to be as luxurious, quiet and easy to drive as ever.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's a treasured piece of American folk wisdom that makes all kinds of sense in terms of home maintenance. And no sense at all in terms of the automotive industry. While a vehicle may be satisfactory in every sense, that's not enough; it has to look new. In an industry where the pace of change is dizzying, no carmaker can afford to rest on its laurels, particularly when it comes to styling.
The 2015 Toyota Camry is an excellent case in point. Camry has been the bestselling car in America for 12 years straight, and at this writing is on pace to make it 13 in a row. Nevertheless, only three years after its most recent major redesign, Toyota has made an extensive overhaul of its bestseller for the 2015 model year.
Toyota isn't saying all-new here, and that's appropriate: aside from a slightly wider track, the chassis is basically unchanged, and the three engine options, 178-hp four-cylinder (standard), 265-hp 3.5-liter V6, and four-cylinder hybrid, all carry over. That's also true of the 6-speed automatic transmission.
However, not much of the previous Camry exists above the integrated frame rails. With the exception of the roof, every exterior panel on the 2015 Camry is new, overall length has increased 1.8 inches (to 190.9), and everything inside the cabin has been redesigned and refurbished. Toyota claims that the update to the 2015 Camry entails more than 2000 new parts, a staggering total that has to include a whole bunch of fasteners, clips, bolts, and screws.
Still, while it's considered to be a member of the seventh generation, there's no mistaking the 2015 Camry for the 2014 Camry.
So why would Toyota mess with success? After all, the Camry has succeeded for 32 years on a foundation of Toyota's long-established virtues: durability, reliability, value, and strong resale. But the company's product planners and market research troops have finally come to grips with a criticism leveled by automotive magazines for years: the Camry may be solid goods, but it's been the personification of bland, an impression that's been reinforced by cautious styling.
The word caution does not apply to the exterior of 2015 Camry. In fact, in some trim levels (the 2015 Camry ES and 2015 Camry ESC), one might even employ the word bold. Intended as the sportier versions of the Camry, those two get an aggressive new fascia reminiscent of the Lexus spindle grille, but arguably better looking. The 2015 Camry LE and 2015 Camry XLE have a new three-bar grille. All versions of the 2015 Toyota Camry sport new LED running lights plus strong character creases on the side panels.
Camrys have never been head-turners before, but the 2015 Camry rates a second glance.
The overhaul extends inside, where every surface has been refurbished, a redesign that includes some very fancy stitchery on supple leather-clad seats in high trim levels.
In addition to adding some visual moxie to the Camry's persona, Toyota hopes to elevate perceptions of its fun-to-drive factor. To that end, there have been some subtle tweaks to the suspension tuning of the sportier versions and selective chassis stiffening. Toyota has also expanded the sporty model range from one, Camry XS, to two, adding the fancier Camry XSE. However, this wasn't motivated so much by the goal of raising the Camry's sporty personal as it was increasing sales. Toyota found that the XS accounted for 40 percent of Camry sales, and that the composition of that 40 percent was much younger than the more traditional models.
While the styling definitely gives the 2015 Camry a much stronger curbside presence, the adjustments in the driver gratification department are harder to perceive. Handling distinctions between the sportier models and the mainstream versions are subtle, and the same applies to differences between this mid-generation update and its predecessor. But for many, the bolder styling, plus traditional Camry strengths, will be more than enough to keep this solid sedan at the top of the charts.
The 2015 Toyota Camry comes in a broad range of trim levels with a choice of powertrains. The basic L version has been discontinued for 2015. (All prices are MSRP and do not include destination charge.) Camry comes standard with a 178-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. Camry XLE V6 and XSE V6 models are equipped with a 268-hp V6 engine. Camry Hybrid models utilize a hybrid gas-electric powertrain.
Camry LE ($22,970) comes with air conditioning, cloth upholstery, eight-way power driver's seat with power lumbar, analog tachometer and speedometer, 3.5-inch black-and-white info display between tach and speedo, tilt/telescope steering column, power up-down front windows, heated side mirrors, Entune AM/FM/CD audio, USB port, 6.1-inch touch-screen secondary controls with voice command, Bluetooth streaming, 12-volt power outlet, halogen headlamps, chrome grille, rear view camera, 16-inch steel wheels. Camry SE ($23,840) upgrades with Softex upholstery, digital instrumentation, 4.2-inch TFT color info display between tachometer and speedometer, tire pressure monitor, black mesh grille, slightly firmer suspension tuning, 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels.
Camry XLE ($26,150) upgrades further with leather trim seats, heated front seats, dual zone climate control, four-way power-adjustable front passenger seat, Entune Audio Plus multimedia, LED daytime running lamps, chrome grille, 17-inch chrome alloy wheels. Camry XSE ($26,150) comes with leather-trim sport front seats with ultrasuede inserts, black mesh grille model, firmer suspension tuning, 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels.
Camry XLE V6 and Camry XSE V6 ($31,370) add Entune Premium Audio with 10 speakers, 586-watt JBL; navigation; 7.0-inch touch-screen center display; LED headlamps; power moonroof; wireless charging for mobile devices.
Camry Hybrid LE ($26,790), Camry Hybrid SE ($27,995) and Camry Hybrid XLE ($29,980) trim levels are equipped similarly to their gas-powered counterparts.
Freed from their decades of short leash constraints, Toyota's stylists have given the Camry something it's lacked in previous generations: eye-catching character. There are subtle creases in the hood, two new grilles (visually defining the L and S versions), strong character molding in the side panels, and LED daytime running lights that lend splashes of bright to the lower corners of the front end.
As noted, almost all the exterior panels are new; only the roof carries over from the 2014 model. New wheel styles, including 18-inch alloys on the sporty XSE. New colors.
Although the wheelbase and sub-structure are unchanged, the new body is a little longer, and the slightly wider track gives the Camry a more athletic look, particularly in the XS and XSE editions, with their snarky mesh grilles.
It's also worth noting that the Toyota has added the sporty XS trim level to the Camry Hybrid, which is also offered in LE and XLE versions.
Pretty much everything inside the 2015 Camry is new. There's hardly a trace of hard plastic anywhere, most surfaces are covered with soft-touch material, upholstery has been upgraded across the board, and the supple leather that adorns the seats in the up-level XSE and XLE trims is set off by handsome stitching with French seams. The Camry Hybrid SE comes with fabric upholstery with an interesting Louis Vuitton-like checkerboard pattern that is very attractive.
The engineering that went into the new body shell included additional spot welds around the door openings and the cowl, resulting in improved chassis rigidity, according to Toyota, although the development team refrains from quantifying the increase. However, while the stiffening is impossible to verify via the driver's seat-of-pants impressions, it does contribute to improved operating serenity. The revision also included more sound-insulation, and it adds up to a Camry that's as quiet as many high-end luxury sedans.
The redesigned instrument panel includes a new thin film transistor (TFT) information display nestled between the tachometer and speedometer, 3.5 inches and black and white in the basic LE, 4.2 inches and full color in higher trim levels. LE dashboards have a 6.1-inch center dash touch screen display, while uplevel models get a 7.0-inch screen. Toyota's Entune multimedia system brings the Camry up to date in terms of infotainment with voice recognition, Bluetooth streaming, and a laundry list of apps to satisfy the growing hunger for those all-important connectivity features. There's also a list of audio options culminating in a 586-watt JBL sound system, and a new center console system that allows wireless recharging of mobile devices such as smartphones.
Camry's dynamic strengths have always been creamy ride quality, smooth powertrains, and quiet operation, and this update doubles down on those virtues, particularly in the area of interior noise levels. The cabin is Lexus quiet at all speeds, and the suspension erases small road irregularities. We should note that these impressions were made on generally smooth highways on the big island of Hawaii, but based on past experience we anticipate that the Camry ride quality will measure up with the best even on frost-tortured pavements.
On the other hand, the idea that the Camry XS and XSE are actually sporty and entertaining to drive qualifies as wishful thinking. The only difference that might show up on a formal track test is a little more grip from the XSE's 18-inch wheel-tire package, an advantage that's intangible to the driver. Aside from that, the tradeoff for pleasant ride quality is deliberate responses in rapid maneuvers, compounded by electric power steering that conveys very little tactile information to the driver.
Similarly, the carryover powertrains do little to advance the fun-to-drive agenda. The V6 in our primary test subject, the XSE, delivers decent power, and the 6-speed automatic is as smooth as anything in its class in full auto mode.
The 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 has port fuel injection and is rated at 268 horsepower at 6200 rpm, 248 pound-feet of torque at 4700 rpm. The V6 is EPA-rated at 21/31 mpg City/Highway, or 25 mpg Combined.
But acceleration with the standard four-cylinder is tepid, and passing exposure time can be uncomfortably long. The absence of a manual transmission with the four-cylinder is regrettable here, not only in terms of extracting the most from the engine, but also to add a little more credibility to the Camry's sporty image ambitions.
The 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve inline four-cylinder that comes standard in Camry benefits from port fuel injection to generate 178 horsepower at 6000 rpm, 170 pound-feet of torque at 4100 rpm. It's EPA-rated at 25/35 mpg City/Highway, or 28 mpg Combined.
A weeklong drive in a Camry Hybrid SE in northern New Jersey showed a smooth ride and responsive powertrain. Toyota is a leader in hybrid gas-electric technology and it shows in this latest version. Acceleration performance was smooth whether in all-electric mode or using the gasoline engine. The brakes, which generate electricity whenever used, were the smoothest we have experienced in a hybrid. The brakes made a small noise whenever the pedal was pushed hard, most noticeable when the car was at rest.
Camry Hybrid models combine a 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine with port fuel injection with a permanent magnet AC synchronous motor. The engine is rated at 156 hp at 5700 rpm, 156 pound-feet of torque 4500 rpm, while the motor is rated at 141 hp at 4500 rpm, 199 pound-feet of torque from 0 to 1500 rpm; combined output is rated at 200 horsepower. Hybrid models use a continuously variable transmission. Camry Hybrid SE and XLE are rated at 40/38 mpg or 40 mpg Combined; Camry Hybrid LE does better around town with an EPA-estimated 43/39 mpg City/Highway, and a Combined rating of 41 mpg.
Toyota's cosmetic overhaul of the 2015 Camry brought a welcome change from the slab-sided anonymity of yesteryear, and the interior appointments are spiffy, even in the standard LE trim level. Camry XS and XSE now look sporty, but dynamic distinctions between the mainstream and sporty versions are so subtle as to be indistinguishable to the average driver. Nevertheless, the combination of traditional strengths, with the addition of exterior eye candy, plus a good value proposition and strong resale, add up to a more desirable Camry. The Camry continues to be very good in most dynamic assessments: competent, quiet, and comfortable. But if athletic responses are a top priority, some of the other midsize sedans may be worth a look, notably the Mazda 6 and Honda Accord.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.
