What are SIC and NAICS codes?
Both Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) and North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes identify a firm's primary business activity. For example a firm with SIC 571 primarily sells retail furniture. A firm with NAICS 311 is primarily engaged in food manufacturing.
These codes were developed by the federal government and are used by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as well as many other U.S. statistical agencies. In 1997, OMB adopted NAICS as its new industry classification system.
Every registered Washington firm is assigned a SIC or NAICS code. SIC codes can be up to four digits and NAICS codes can be up to six digits. The Quarterly Business Review (QBR) and the other Create a Report functions use these codes to group firms together in order to create useful information. Because the national standard changed from the use of SIC codes to the use of NAICS codes, in November 2004 the Department stopped assigning SIC codes and now only assigns NAICS codes.

What is the difference between a SIC and a NAICS code?
NAICS codes provide a greater level of detail about a firm's activity than SIC codes. NAICS includes 1,170 industries and SIC includes 1,004 industries. There are 358 new industries recognized in NAICS, 250 of which are services producing industries.
Additionally, NAICS codes are based on a consistent, economic concept, while SIC codes are not. For NAICS codes, establishments that use the same or similar processes to produce goods or services are grouped together. Industries under the SIC codes were grouped together based on either demand or production.
Unlike SIC codes, the NAICS codes were developed by the U.S. federal government in cooperation with Canadian and Mexican statistical agencies. Because both Canada and Mexico use NAICS for their industry classifications, government and business analysts are now able to compare directly industrial production statistics collected and published in the three North American Free Trade Agreement countries. Additionally, NAICS provides for increased comparability with the International Standard Classification System (ISIC, Revision 3), developed and maintained by the United Nations (This information was taken from the U.S. Census Bureau web site, http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naicsdev.htm).
Can I get SIC code data after 2004?
No. In an effort to move in line with national standards, the Department stopped assigning SIC codes to firms in November 2004 and began only assigning NAICS codes. Because the Department has stopped assigning and updating SIC codes, the Department had to convert the QBR and its other databases to NAICS codes beginning with Quarter 1, 2005 data. This means calendar year 2005 data going forward will also only be available in NAICS codes.
No. SIC codes do not seamlessly convert to NAICS codes. Therefore, a firm that may have fallen under a particular SIC code may now be classified under a completely different NAICS code. For example, a firm classified in SIC 7359 Business Services (Not Elsewhere Classified) could now be classified under NAICS 491110 Postal Service, or NAICS 541340 Drafting Services, among others.

What do I do if I need historical QBR data in the NAICS version?
With the release of the Quarter 1, 2005 QBR, the Department also released NAICS versions of the QBR data for year 2004 (including quarterly and calendar year data). If you need NAICS data prior to 2004, use our online Create a Report tool. The other Create a Report functions contain data going back to 1994. You can use the Gross Business Income report to replicate QBR table 1. Or you can use the Local Sales/Use report to replicate QBR tables 3 and 4. For help with how to search and use the Create a Report tool, click here.
What is gross business income?
Gross business income equals a firm's combined reported gross income for the retail sales, business and occupation (B&O), and public utility taxes. Prior to 1995 the Department had included other tax data in the calculation of gross business income; however, this resulted in duplication and overstated a firm's actual gross income. Therefore, gross business income data before 1995 may be misleading when compared to current data.
There are a couple of other considerations when using gross business income information:
<Back to Top>
When using the Gross Business Income report function, what do the total taxable and tax due amounts represent?
Like the gross income, the total taxable and tax due figures equal the sum of the taxable and tax due for the retail sales, business and occupation (B&O), and public utility taxes. The taxable amount equals the total gross income less the total deductions. This is the total amount subject to tax. Because each tax type (i.e. B&O, public utility, retail sales tax, etc.) has its own tax rate and taxable amount, there is not a single tax rate you can use to derive the total tax due.
Does the total tax due account for any tax credits?
No. This amount does not take into account any credits. Credits are later subtracted from the tax due to compute the final tax liability.
Can I get gross business income data by location?
No. The data used to calculate gross business income are not reported to the Department by location. For example, when a firm reports its business and occupation taxes, it provides a single tax return and a single figure for all locations at which it does business. The Department cannot determine how much gross income is earned at a given location in Washington.
What is the B&O tax?
The B&O tax is a gross receipts tax. It is measured on the value of products, gross proceeds of sale, or gross income of the business. Virtually all businesses in Washington are subject to the B&O tax, including corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), partnerships, and sole proprietors, whether nonprofit or for profit. The major exempt activities are farming and the sale or rental of real estate. The B&O taxes found in the QBR and other Create a Report functions reflect only the state B&O taxes and do not include city B&O taxes. <Back to Top>
Do cities levy a B&O tax?
Yes. In addition to the state B&O tax, some Washington cities also assess a local B&O tax. Currently, counties cannot levy B&O taxes. The B&O data reflected in the QBR and the other Create a Report functions do not contain city B&O tax figures. To find out if a city has a local B&O tax, click here.
<Back to Top>
What is the difference between B&O gross and taxable income?
Gross income equals the income for a particular B&O activity before any deductions. Taxable income equals the gross income less any deductions and equals the amount subject to the B&O tax. Examples of allowable deductions include bad debts, interstate and foreign sales, advancements or reimbursements, and returns/allowances/cash discounts.
Does the B&O tax due amount account for any tax credits?
No. The tax due amount reflects the taxable (gross less deductions) multiplied by the applicable tax rate. This amount does not take into account any credits. Credits are later subtracted from the tax due to calculate the final tax liability.
What are the state B&O tax rates?
There are several classifications for the B&O tax based on the type of business activity. Each classification has its own tax rate. Some of the major categories and their rates are:
For more information about the B&O tax and tax rate information click here.
Can I get B&O tax data by location?
No. The B&O tax is not reported to the Department by location. When a taxpayer reports to the Department, he/she provides a single tax return and a single figure for all locations at which he/she does business. Additionally, the addresses provided on the tax returns reflect mailing addresses and may not represent an actual firm location. In fact, they often are the address of a tax preparer. As a result, the Department cannot determine how much B&O tax is due for a given location in Washington State..
What is the retail sales tax?
Businesses in Washington collect and remit retail sales tax on the sale of tangible personal property and certain services. Examples of services subject to the retail sales tax include, but are not limited to, cleaning, repairing, altering, or improving real or personal property.
What is the use tax?
Use tax is due on the value of taxable tangible personal property and services used in the state on which Washington retail sales tax has not been paid. For example, use tax is generally due on equipment purchased out-of-state and then used in Washington.
Are there exemptions to the retail sales and use taxes?
Yes. Some of the most frequently used exemptions to retail sales and use taxes include:
What is the difference between gross and taxable retail sales?
Gross income from a retail sale is calculated before any deductions or exemptions. A taxable retail sale equals the retail sale activity less deductions or exemptions and is the amount subject to retail sales tax.
A substantial portion of retail sales are not subject to retail sales tax. Examples of deductions or exemptions include food for human consumption, motor vehicle fuel, prescription drugs, medical appliances and lenses, interstate sales, sales to the federal government, and sales of goods to Native Americans for use on the reservation.
Statewide, taxable sales may understate the true level of retail activity by as much as 25 to 30 percent; however, this percentage can vary substantially across industries.
Do the retail sales and use tax due amounts account for any tax credits?
No. The tax due amount reflects the taxable income (gross less deductions) multiplied by the applicable tax rate. This amount does not take into account any credits. Credits are later subtracted from the tax due to compute a final tax liability.
What are the retail sales and use tax rates?
The state retail sales and use tax rate is 6.5 percent for everything except sales/leases of motor vehicles. Sales/leases of motor vehicles are subject to a 6.8 percent state retail sales and use tax. Local governments also levy sales and use taxes, and their tax rates vary depending on location. To get a complete list of tax rates, check out our Local Sales Tax flyer or for a specific area try our Tax Rate Lookup Tool.
What is the public utility tax?
It is a tax on public service businesses, including businesses that engage in transportation, communications, and the supply of energy, natural gas, and water. The tax is in lieu of the business and occupation (B&O) tax. <Back to Top>
What is operating income?
Income that is subject to the public utility tax is defined as operating income. This income is not subject to the B&O tax.
What is the difference between gross and taxable operating income?
Gross operating income equals the amount of income subject to the public utility tax before any deductions. Taxable operating income is the amount of income subject to the public utility tax less any deductions. Examples of allowable deductions include bad debts, interstate and foreign sales, advancements or reimbursements, and returns/allowances/cash discounts.
Does the public utility tax due amount account for any tax credits?
No. The tax due amount reflects the taxable amount (gross less deductions) multiplied by the applicable tax rate. This amount does not take into account any credits. Credits are later subtracted from the tax due to compute a final tax liability.
What are the public utility tax rates?
There are five different rates, depending on the specific utility activity:
What is an accrual period?
Most taxpayers determine their tax liability based on income accrual, meaning when the seller becomes entitled to receive payment (i.e. when the customer is billed). Some firms whose books are kept strictly on a cash basis calculate tax liability according to when payment is received.
The quarterly accrual period includes data reported by taxpayers who submit returns for business conducted during the indicated period. For example, the first quarter report includes the tax returns for all monthly taxpayers for January, February, and March, as well as the first quarter returns for all firms reporting on a quarterly basis. Because the fourth quarter includes annual reporters, there is some distortion that occurs when comparing the fourth quarter to any of the previous three quarters. However, annual reporters only represent about one-half of one percent of all excise taxes reported (i.e. B&O taxes, public utility taxes, retail sales taxes, etc.)
What does the letter "D" indicate?
The letter "D" indicates that data have been withheld to avoid disclosure of individual firm information. This is required by the excise tax confidentiality statute.
Why doesn't the sum of the quarterly data for a given SIC or NAICS grouping equal the annual figure?
If a particular SIC or NAICS grouping contains fewer than three firms then the data cannot be disclosed. When this occurs in the Quarterly Business Review (QBR), the Department replaces the data with a "D". However, the annual data may contain enough firms to disclose the data for that particular SIC or NAICS grouping. This can cause the annual number for that SIC or NAICS grouping to appear larger than the sum of the individual quarters.
What are units?
A unit represents a single taxpayer, including businesses that report no activity. Because state taxes are not reported based on geographic location, the unit count for the state tax data does not reflect the actual number of business establishments. For example, Firm A has five branches located in five different cities. Each location is subject to the B&O tax. However, Firm A will only submit one tax return on behalf of all five locations and will only show up as one taxpayer in the unit count.
For the local sales and use tax data, the unit count indicates the number of retailers reporting taxable retail sales activity within a county or city. However, firms that have multiple branches within the same location will only show up in the data as one unit count.
Why do the unit counts differ between quarterly and calendar year data?
One reason for this is that many small taxpayer accounts only report annually, and therefore only appear in the fourth quarter and annual Quarterly Business Review (QBR) reports. However, most unit count differences occur because of businesses that report seasonally (e.g., several months or one or two quarters) and businesses that open and close during the year. While all these businesses will appear in the annual QBR report, they may only appear in one or two of the quarterly reports. As a result, individual quarters do not accurately indicate the total number of businesses that may have reported to the Department during the entire year.
Can I add up the unit counts for each of the quarters to get the annual unit count?
No. This would result in double-counting of taxpayers. For example, if Firm A reports taxes each quarter it would show up as a single unit in each of the four quarters. When you add the quarterly unit counts together to get to an annual figure, Firm A would then be counted four times. However, Firm A should only be counted once. On the other hand, you cannot add all four quarters together and then divide by four because some taxpayers only report during one quarter and therefore they would be underrepresented in the annual unit count.
What is the difference between tables 1 and 5 in the Quarterly Business Review (QBR)?
Table 1 shows gross business income data by major industry grouping, and Table 5 shows business and occupation (B&O) tax data by major industry grouping. Gross business income equals a firm's combined reported gross income for the retail sales, B&O, and public utility taxes. The B&O data are just one component of gross income. The B&O tax is a gross receipts tax. It is measured on the value of products, gross proceeds of sale, or gross income of the business. For more information about gross business income and the B&O tax refer to the gross business income and B&O tax sections above.
Why is the Quarterly Business Review (QBR) typically published six months after the end of the reporting period?
There is typically a lag of six months or longer in the publication of QBR data from the close of the quarterly period to the actual publication of the QBR for several reasons:
What are reporting periods?
State excise taxpayers are assigned to monthly, quarterly, or annual tax reporting. The Quarterly Business Review (QBR) data include the accruals of both monthly and quarterly taxpayers for the indicated period with the exception of the fourth quarter report which also includes amounts reported by annual taxpayers for the entire year. Because the other Create a Report functions only contain calendar year data they represent all taxpayers -- monthly, quarterly, and annual reporters.

St. Elizabeths Redevelopment Framework Plan
Good Afternoon. Chairman Gray and honorable members of the District of Columbia Council, I am pleased to be here today representing the General Services Administration in support of the District's efforts to advance the St. Elizabeths Redevelopment Framework Plan and bring about much needed economic development and investment east of the Anacostia.
As the Regional Administrator for GSA's Public Buildings Service, I have purview over the National Capital Region personnel in our agency who carry out our mission to provide high-quality, safe office space for federal workers throughout the Washington metro area. In the Washington region, the 1,500 employees of the National Capital Region have responsibility for 96 million square feet and, in DC alone, the GSA manages 55 million square feet.
Critical to the success of our efforts to make investments in this great city is a partnership between GSA and District government. There will be no clearer demonstration of the importance of that partnership as we witness the future development of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and the two (2) campuses of St. Elizabeths that buttress this "Great Street" in Ward 8.
As I am sure you are well aware, since early 2005, GSA has been working to develop a master plan to consolidate the Department of Homeland Security Headquarters on the federally-controlled West Campus. While we have been working collaboratively with the District, our recent efforts have accelerated as we seek to make progress on approximately $3 billion of investment in the 4.5 million square feet of space that will become home to DHS. In the past few months, our partnership with the District has been paramount to the success of this project as we expect nearly 750,000 square feet of secure office space plus parking to be included in the East Campus development, thereby meeting the programmatic needs of DHS and helping to mitigate the impact on the National Historic Landmark.
It's hard for me to describe the synergy that can be accomplished when local and federal governments work in concert. Our working relationships are only the first step in the dynamic future we will witness as we see that synergy unfold in real time, bringing economic vitality to Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. Residents throughout the District of Columbia, especially from Ward 8, will benefit from job creation, new and expanded businesses, and new neighborhood amenities and prospects associated with the 14,000 DHS employees that will be seeking goods and services in the area.
The Small Area Plan for the East Campus is not only vital to and therefore integrated in our plans for the West Campus, but more importantly it is tightly interconnected to the surrounding community. A key component of the plan is opening up the East Campus and directly linking proposed amenities with the adjacent Congress Heights neighborhood. We laud the successful efforts of the District's Office of Planning at collaborating with community stakeholders and government agencies to provide a strategic framework for what we believe will be a dynamic mixed use development in both new construction and the adaptive reuse of historic buildings that are a part of this important landmark.
GSA deeply appreciates and recognizes the efforts of the City to promulgate the development agenda of this community. The Small Area Plan highlights the spirit of the community and the vision of the District's leadership and GSA looks forward to continuing our dynamic working partnership with the District of Columbia. We would specifically like to acknowledge and express appreciation to the Office of Planning and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, as well as numerous Council members and staff for their efforts.
We also thank the residents of Ward 8, and community and national organizations for attending public meetings and providing us with valuable feedback as GSA continues consultations on the DHS headquarters consolidation at St. Elizabeths. This unique opportunity will help preserve this respected National Historic Landmark while providing much needed opportunities for new development.
Finally, I'd like to acknowledge the important efforts of Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton and her staff in their support of this project and her advocacy for her constituents.
Before I close, I'd like to give a quick update on where we stand in our efforts.
- In November, GSA submitted its final Master Plan to the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) and the Commission of Fine Arts, and published the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Public Comment. The Public Comment period of the EIS closes on December 8th. I am also pleased to announce that the Commission of Fine Arts approved the Master Plan on November 20, 2008.
- Within a week we expect to finalize a Programmatic Agreement that will wrap up the first phase of consultation associated with our obligations under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
- On January 8, 2009, NCPC will hold a hearing and, we hope, vote to approve the final Master Plan. Assuming we secure NCPC's approval and GSA receives funding from Congress, construction on the West Campus will commence in the summer of 2009 allowing the United States Coast Guard to occupy their new headquarters building in 2013.
Your approval of the Small Area Plan should allow GSA and DHS to continue our partnership with the District of Columbia in pursuing our goal of delivering 750,000 square feet of space plus parking on the East Campus for DHS occupancy in 2014, with total occupancy for DHS at St. Elizabeths projected in 2016.
In closing, let me reiterate how pleased we are to be partnering with the District on a project that will have local, national and, quite frankly, international significance. We believe the collective redevelopment of nearly 350 acres for both the Department of Homeland Security Headquarters and mixed-used revitalization of the East Campus represents boundless opportunities for residents, businesses, the City and our employees. As a result, there could be little doubt that we again express our enthusiastic support for the Saint Elizabeths Redevelopment Framework Plan Support Resolution of 2008 contained in PR 17-1154. We look forward to your approval forthwith.
Thank you for the opportunity to address you today.

pregnancy bleeding
Hi, my name is Suzanne. I started having a slight brownish bleeding yesterday, so I went to the ER. They ve done the tests and told me I am only 5.5 weeks pregnant and thought I was 10. I had a lower back pain a few days ago, I think I am loosing my pregnancy symptoms / or I am just freeking out / . I am going back to my doctor today. I have a healthy and happy 2 year old baby girl. When I was expecting her, at the beggining i was sick, but never had any bleeding. Could someone give me any advice?? Thank you

Slight brownish bleeding can often just be the result of cervical irritation due to sex or other disruption. It does not necessarily mean that anything is wrong. There was a lot of bright red blood with clots, like a heavy period, with both of my miscarriages. One was quite early, the other closer to the beginning of the second trimester.
I hope you get some good news today at the doctor. Please keep us updated. You are in my thoughts. *hugs*

I'm curious to know what your doctor said, and why the ER thought you were originally 10 weeks, but now say you are only 5.5 weeks along.
28th May 2012 10:28 PM #4
Hi Suzanne,
Thinking of you. When I was 7 weeks pregnant I experienced bleeding - I was really scared as I thought I was having a miscarriage but I was delighted when everything turned out ok. You can read my whole story of the experience here. My doctor said that bleeding happens in around 25% of pregnancies and, in most cases, the pregnancy continues without any problems. I was particularly scared as I have sadly experienced a miscarriage before.
At 5.5 weeks, it can be difficult to see on a scan what is happening. However, have you had hCG blood tests? hCG is the pregnancy hormone and it rapidly rises in pregnancy, even at the early stages.
Please let us know if we can help you further.
Best wishes,

Topic: General Discussion - Update on Jeff - night sweats?
Jeff has finished his first round of chemo with Xeloda and Oxaliplatin. Everything went well. He starts round 2 next Friday.
He is experiencing some fatigue and has had more pain in his side recently. He is able to rest when he needs to, even at work. His employer is being and has been very supportive.
He recently started to experience chills and night sweats. He has never had night sweats before. His T-shirt and sheets are drenched some mornings. This seems to happen about once or twice a week for him. Has anyone else experienced this?
We had to reschedule our second opinion with the doctor at USC so that we could get all of the appropriate records and films sent over. We now have this set for the 9th.
We did have some good news recently. On 10/17 he had both an upper and lower GI endoscopy. Both were "clean as a whistle". No tumors, no suspicious lesions. We had gotten to the point of dreading every diagnostic test for fear of bad news. You know, it is nice to hear something good for a change.
As usual, Jeff continues to maintain his cheerful disposition.
Please keep Jeff in your thoughts and prayers.
Bob & Nancy

A 38-year-old nurse for Portland's Legacy Emanuel Medical Center is accused of sexually assaulting multiple women where they were most vulnerable: in the emergency room.
Here's the press release from the Portland Police Bureau:
Registered Nurse Arrested on Multiple Sexual Assault Charges - Victims Were Patients
On Wednesday July 10, 2013, 38-year-old Jeffrey Neyle McAllister was arrested on multiple sex assault charges. The charges stem from McAllister's contact with multiple vulnerable adult women seeking medical treatment at the Legacy Emanuel Medical Center emergency room during McAllister's employment as a Registered Nurse (RN).
The Portland Police Bureau investigation began when a patient came forward in April 2013, regarding allegations that McAllister inappropriate sexual contact in the Emanuel Hospital ER. Subsequent investigation and assistance from Investigator Jessica Van Horn of the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN), made detectives aware of additional victims.
McAllister worked at Legacy as an ER Technician from 2005 to 2008 and as an RN in the emergency room from 2008 to 2013. As of April 2013, McAllister was no longer employed by Legacy as of Legacy April 2013.
McAllister also has work history as a nurse with St. Vincent Hospital (Providence) in Portland and Mid-Columbia Medical Center in The Dalles, Oregon. McAllister has been on administrative leave from his current employers, St. Vincent Hospital and Mid-Columbia Medical Center.
McAllister has law enforcement experience as a Legacy Health System Security Officer (2004-2005), a Beaverton (OR) Police Officer (2002- 2004), a Seaside Police (OR) Officer (1996-2002), and a Reserve Officer for the Independence Police Department (1997).
Detectives are concerned there may be additional victims and believe others may have information regarding McAllister.
McAllister was booked into the Multnomah County Jail on charges of Rape in the First Degree (two counts), Sex Abuse in the First Degree (three counts), Sex Abuse in the Second Degree, Sex Abuse in the Third Degree, and Sodomy in the First Degree (four counts).
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact either the Sex Crimes Unit at (503) 823-0400; Detective Heidi Helwig at email@example.com or Detective Jason Christensen firstname.lastname@example.com.

I'm absolutely fascinated by cardboard design and these new toys are one of the coolest designs I've seen. The Amazing Treat Machine Rollers are little cardboard toys that you put together from pre-punched cardboard. Each one holds a catnip packet (comes with the toys) and has a compartment for placing treats. When the toys roll across the floor, the treats fall out, enticing kitty to keep playing (at least until all the treats are gone).
The rollers come in a set of four in a cool little box that would make a great gift for any cat lover. You punch out the pieces and assemble the rollers. The design is truly brilliant and the instructions are pretty easy to follow. There's even a video showing you how to assemble the rollers.
They sent us some rollers to test out and the cats like them as much as I do. Ando and Theo were the first to give them a sniff:
Then I made this little video. As you can see, Ando is the worst treat thief ever! I didn't realize just how bad he is until I saw all the clips of him stealing treats. He's terrible! And, yes, he did throw up promptly after making the video. Too many treats. (If you can't see the video below in your email, click here to watch it on the site.)
The Amazing Treat Machine Rollers are $9.95 for a set of four and can be purchased online at AmazingTreatMachine.com or at Amazon.
Five lucky winners are each going to receive a set of Amazing Treat Machine Rollers! To enter, please leave a comment on this post. The winners will be chosen in a random drawing on November 3. One entry per person. This giveaway is open to addresses in the US and Canada.

It's a new year but '90s nostalgia refuses to dissipate. With their new collaborative mix, "Throw 'Em Up," Paris-based production/DJ sensation Onra and Music Is My Sanctuary founder Lexis present a plethora of '90s R&B classics from the days of Carhartt, Cristal, and Bill Clinton. Many of the decade's big names and one-hit wonder types are represented. But if you're curious as to how Onra and Lexis arrived at their tracklist (below) peep their self-imposed "rules" (also below) as you listen and download.
01. Brandy – I Wanna Be Down Feat. MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Yoyo
02. Chanté Moore – This Time (Allstar Club Mix)
03. Intro – Funny How Time Flies
04. London Jones – Joy
05. Miss Jones – Don't Front
06. Keith Sweat – Twisted
07. Monifah – I Miss You Feat. Heavy D
08. Immature – We Got It (Marley Marl Remix)
09. Horace Brown – Taste Your Love
10. Alphonzo – Just The Way
11. Sista – Brand New (Mr. Dalvins Ferran Mix)
12. New Edition – Change Your Mind
13. Aaron Hall – Curiosity
14. Blackstreet – This Is How We Roll
15. Devante – Gin & Juice
16. TLC – Creep
17. Groove Theory – It's Alright
18. Mary J. Blige – Everyday It Rains
19. Usher – Think Of You
20. Jodeci – Bring on da' funk
21. SWV – You're the One
22. Aaliyah – Are You Ready?
23. Soul For Real – Candy Rain
24. Yvette Michelle – Everyday and every night
25. Kreuz – Party All Night
26. R.Kelly – Thank God It's Friday
27. Zhane – Vibe
28. Sweet Sable – For Old Time's Sake
From Music Is My Sanctuary:
So, the "rules" they gave themselves were simple: 1) The mix begins at the point when New Jack [Swing] ended. 2) The mix finishes around '96 when a producer named Tim Mosley completely changed the R&B landscape. (That will be Vol. 2) 3) MC's featuring on R&B tracks were ok, but not the other way around. 4) Only one selection per artist (that was tough).

FOX's Special Report tag team made false claims about missing explosives
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
On the October 28 edition of Special Report with Brit Hume, FOX News Channel reporters and commentators continued to distort the facts surrounding missing high explosives at the Al Qaqaa military installation in Iraq in order to bolster President George W. Bush's claim that "the explosives may have been moved before our troops even arrived at the site."
During Special Report's "Grapevine" segment, FOX News Channel managing editor and chief Washington correspondent Brit Hume chastised CBS News for failing to report a detail that allegedly supports Bush's claim. CBS's 60 Minutes collaborated with The New York Times on the original report on October 25.
Hume said: "CBS knew about a search of the Al Qaqaa complex on April 4 of last year, a search that was thorough enough to find a suspicious white powder and that found no apparent sign of the locked materials or IAEA-marked weaponry. But CBS has not mentioned that in its reports this week." In fact, one of the types of explosive in question -- RDX -- is a white powder, according to GlobalSecurity.org (as journalist and blogger Joshua Micah Marshall noted on October 28), so the "suspicious white powder" Hume mentioned could have been RDX.
During Special Report's concluding "FOX All-Star Panel" on October 27, Roll Call executive editor Morton M. Kondracke accused Senator John Kerry of distorting the facts about when the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) informed the United States about the high explosives:
KONDRACKE: Kerry is misstating when this supposed warning came from the IAEA. He is saying that it came before the war, that the IAEA warned us on the way in that we had to secure these weapons. That's not true. According to The New York Times, this warning came in May, after the war was already over.
In fact, the Times reported that the IAEA warned of Iraq's possession of the high explosives both before and after the U.S. invasion. According to the October 25 Times article: "The International Atomic Energy Agency publicly warned about the danger of these explosives before the war, and after the invasion it specifically told United States officials about the need to keep the explosives secured, European diplomats said in interviews last week."
FOX News Channel reporters and commentators were also among the conservatives who distorted an October 25 NBC News story into a defense of Bush against the Times article, as Media Matters for America has documented.

Topic: Preparation for loved one's passing
Intellectually and now emotionally, I believe that the time of my dad's passing is imminent. No matter how much our family tries to prepare ourselves for it emotionally, I know that it is still going to feel almost unbearable when it does. Since I don't know that I will be able to think rationally or pragmatically when that time comes, I was hoping to get some advice on things to do with respect to legal, financial, administrative. Does anyone have a checklist on things to do before a family member passes and also things to do after (e.g. with respect to insurance, social security, reporting to other agencies, etc.)
Thank you.

Stalk borer eggs have hatched and many larvae are now in brome or other grasses bordering corn. Some stalk borers already may be in corn because they hatched from eggs that were laid on grass or giant ragweed out in the field last fall, or they moved directly into border row corn instead of the grass when they hatched. Most stalk borers that hatch in grass stay there until they grow to a size that is too big for the grass stem. Then they migrate in search of larger diameter plants, which often is corn. As of May 31, there were two reports of stalk borer migration in southwest Iowa. This article discusses management for stalk borers only in grass adjacent to corn, but occasionally stalk borer damage may extend through fields when there are suitable host weeds present in the field for early larval development.
The predicted dates for the early stages of stalk borer migration are shown in the map on page 105. These dates predict when about 10 percent of the larvae will move out of brome grass. Ten percent will have moved by the time 1,400 degree days (base 41° F) have accumulated, and 50 percent will have migrated by 1,700 degree days.
When 1,3001,400 degree days have occurred in your area, scout to determine if the larvae are moving into corn. Begin by scouting corn adjacent to grassed terraces, waterways, fence lines, or where stalk borer damage occurred last year. Look for small larvae visible in the whorl leaves or feeding holes in new leaves. Larvae that are in the whorl but not yet tunneled into the stalk can be killed with a liquid insecticide sprayed over the top of the plants.
Small corn is the most susceptible to damage from this insect. Once corn reaches the V7 stage (7 leaf collars), stalk borers are unlikely to kill the plant. Stalk borers don't migrate very far from grass, so only the first four rows of corn next to the grass would need to be scouted and probably sprayed.
Economic thresholds can help in deciding whether or not to apply an insecticide. These economic thresholds are based on the percentage of infested plants and assume control costs of $13 per acre and 80 percent control. In the chart, determine the expected market value of corn and the leaf stage. If the number of infested plants exceeds the percent given for the leaf stage and market value selected, then an insecticide application can be economically justified.
Labeled insecticides and rates per acre include Ambush 2E (6.412.8 ounces), Asana XL (5.8
9.6 ounces), Baythroid 3 (1.62.8 ounces), Capture 2EC (2.16.4 ounces), Discipline 2EC (2.16.4 ounces), Lorsban 4E (12 pints), Mustang Max (2.744 ounces), Nufos 4E (12 pints), Pounce 3.2EC (48 ounces), and Warrior 1E or T (2.563.84 ounces). Always read and follow label directions.
Stalk borer economic thresholds (percent infested plants to warrant treatment)
Percent infested plants at three corn prices Leaf stage $2/bu. $3/bu. $4/bu. -------------------------------------------------------- 1 10% 7% 5% 2 12% 8% 6% 3 15% 10% 7% 4 16% 11% 8% 5 17% 12% 9% 6 34% 23% 17% 7 100% 100% 100% -------------------------------------------------------- These economic injury levels are based on $13/acre control costs and 80 percent control with an insecticide.

PHOTO: Idris Elba photobombs Oprah's first selfie!
If you doubted it before, this one photo proves that Oprah Winfrey is one of the luckiest women on the planet.
Oprah shared her first selfie with fans on Saturday, Feb. 22 from the 45th Annual NAACP Image Awards, and she only shared the screen with the hottest hottie in the room.
"My first selfie," the 60-year-old personality tweeted. "Love @idriselba! #imageawards." The Butler nominee, flashing a bright smile, with a bowtie-clad Idris Elba sneaking into the frame with that signature smouldering stare.
"Did I just photo bomb Oprah???" Elba, 41, tweeted along with Winfrey's original pic. How cute!
Although Oprah ultimately lost in the Best Supporting Actress category at the Image Awards to Lupita Nyong'o, the 12 Years a Slave breakout star credited Winfrey for impacting her career.
"I think the world is a better place because Oprah Winfrey has lived and has done what she felt called to do. She is extraordinary," Nyong'o gushed to reporters backstage. "And so I couldn't pick one thing that Oprah has taught me. She's taught me so much and she taught me by being herself."
Check out the photobomb below!

Today, the Pittsburgh Steelers officially listed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger as out for their critical AFC North match-up against the Baltimore Ravens. In his absence, the team will turn to veteran quarterback Byron Leftwich as the starter.
Of course, if the Steelers want to win on Sunday night, he will have to play better than his 7-of-14 73-yard performance against the Chiefs. Yes, it was his first regular season action in more than a year (22 months), but, their defense is a far cry from that of the Ravens.
With the announcement made Wednesday, he will have the advantage of taking the reps all week in practice, possibly allowing him to build some chemistry with tight end Heath Miller and wide receivers Mike Wallace, Emmanuel Sanders and Jerricho Cotchery, as it appears that wide receiver Antonio Brown will not suit up again due to his ankle injury.

Is honesty the best policy? Some husbands don't think so! Though the offenses that follow are all forgivable, they're easy to prevent. Here, nine of the most common lies husbands tell their wives, why they do it and how to keep your man fib-free.
What a stupid article.
Wives say all those same things.
Quote from: hecma925 on June 20, 2014, 01:59:53 AMWhat a stupid article.You haven't violated any of the 9 'lies' that husbands tell their wives?
#4 isn't a lie so much as code, or at least it was for me. It's a polite way of saying, 'I don't want to talk about it, so would you please stop nagging me to talk about it?'
Quote from: Justin Kissel on June 20, 2014, 02:47:33 AM#4 isn't a lie so much as code, or at least it was for me. It's a polite way of saying, 'I don't want to talk about it, so would you please stop nagging me to talk about it?' When women say it, they want to talk about it. Most men think, "Oh, she's okay then."
The term planet earth is an innovation which has arisen in recent centuries with the error of heliocentrism.If one wants to confess a pure doctrine of Orthodoxy, they should be careful not to refer to the earth as a planet, unlike the current Pope as well as Patriarch Kirill and Patriarch Bartholomew, who regularly speak in error when they refer to our planet earth.
My wife asked if I was listening once, so I told her that my small mind can only take so much, and her beauty overloaded my senses rendering my ears useless. She just gave me a strange look and went on talking. I do have to say that it worked a lot better than one time when she asked me if I was listening and I replied, "You were talking to me? All I heard was a bunch of noise. Now I know what that was." Another one never to use (and I know this from experience): "If God wanted men to listen to women, he would have put speakers in their boobs."

Immunodeficiency disordersImmunosuppression
Immunodeficiency disorders occur when the body's immune response is reduced or absent.
See also: Autoimmune disorders
The immune system is made up of lymphoid tissue in the body, which includes:
- Bone marrow
- Lymph nodes
- Parts of the spleen and gastrointestinal tract
- Thymus
- Tonsils
Proteins and cells in the blood are also part of the immune system.
The immune system helps protect the body from harmful substances called antigens. Examples of antigens include bacteria, viruses, toxins, cancer cells, and foreign blood or tissues from another person or species.
When the immune system detects an antigen, it responds by producing proteins called antibodies that destroy the harmful substances. The immune system response also involves a process called phagocytosis. During this process, certain white blood cells swallow and destroy bacteria and other foreign substances. Proteins called "complements" help with this process.
Immune system disorders occur when the immune system does not fight tumors or harmful substances as it should. The immune response may be overactive or underactive.
Immunodeficiency disorders may affect any part of the immune system. Most commonly, these conditions occur when special white blood cells called T or B lymphocytes (or both) do not work as well as they should, or when your body doesn't produce enough antibodies.
Inherited immunodeficiency disorders that affect B cells include:
- Hypogammaglobulinemia, which usuallyleads torespiratory and gastrointestinal infections
- Agammaglobulinemia, which results in severe infections early in life, and is often deadly
Inherited immunodeficiency disorders that affect T cells may cause repeated Candida (yeast) infections. Inherited combined immunodeficiency affects both T cells and B cells. It may be deadly within the first year of life if it isn't treated early.
People are said to be immunosuppressed when they have an immunodeficiency disorder due to medicines thatweaken the immune system (such as corticosteroids). Immunosuppression is also a common side effect of chemotherapy given to treat cancer.
Acquired immunodeficiency may be a complication of diseases such as HIV infection and malnutrition (especially if the person does not eat enough protein). Many cancers may also cause immunodeficiency.
People who have had their spleen removed have an acquired immunodeficiency, and are at higher risk for infection by certain bacteria that the spleen would normally help fight. Patients with diabetes are also at higher risk for certain infections.
As you get older, the immune system becomes less effective. Immune system tissues (especially lymphoid tissue such as the thymus) shrink, and the number and activity of white blood cells drop.
The following conditions and diseases can lead to an immunodeficiency disorder:
- Ataxia-telangiectasia
- Chediak-Higashi syndrome
- Combined immunodeficiency disease
- Complement deficiencies
- DiGeorge syndrome
- Hypogammaglobulinemia
- Job syndrome
- Leukocyte adhesion defects
- Panhypogammaglobulinemia
- Bruton disease
- Congenital agammaglobulinemia
- Selective deficiency of IgA
- Wiscott-Aldrich syndrome
The symptoms depend on the disorder.
Exams and Tests
Your doctor might think you have an immunodeficiency disorder if you have:
- Infections that keep coming back or do not go away
- Severe infection from bacteria or other germs that do not usually cause severe infection
Other signs include:
- Poor response to treatment for infections
- Delayed or incomplete recovery from illness
- Certain types of cancers (such as Kaposi's sarcoma or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma)
- Certain infections (including some forms of pneumonia orrepeated yeast infections)
Tests used to help diagnose an immunodeficiency disorder may include:
- Complement levels in the blood, or other tests to measure substances released by the immune system
- HIV test
- Immunoglobulin levels in the blood
- Protein electrophoresis (blood or urine)
- T (thymus derived) lymphocyte count
- White blood cell count
The goal of treatment is to prevent infections and treat any disease and infections that do develop.
If you have a weakened immune system, you should avoid contact with persons who have infections or contagious disorders. You may have to avoid people who have been vaccinated with live virus vaccines within the past 2 weeks.
If you develop an infection, your doctor will treat you aggressively. This may involve long-term use of antibiotic or antifungal medications and preventive (prophylactic) treatments.
Interferon is used to treat viral infections and some types of cancer. It is an immunostimulant drug, a medicine that makes the immune system work better.
Persons with HIV or AIDS may take combinations of drugs to reduce the amount ofHIV in their immune systems and improve their immunity.
Patients who are going to have a planned splenectomy should be vaccinated2 weeks before the surgery against bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumonia and Hemophilus influenzae.
Bone marrow transplants may be used to treat certain immunodeficiency conditions.
Passive immunity (receiving antibodies produced by another person or animal) may sometimes be recommended to prevent illness after you have been exposed to bacteria or other germs.
Patients with hypogammaglobulinemia are treated with immunoglobulin infusions through a vein. These infusions raise blood immunoglobulin levels ge and protect against many infections.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Some immunodeficiency disorders are mild and cause illness from time to time. Others are severe and may be fatal. Immunosuppression caused by medications often goes away once the medication is stopped.
Possible Complications
- Frequent or persistent illness
- Increased risk for certain cancers or tumors
- Increased risk for infection
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider immediately if you are on chemotherapy or corticosteroids (such as prednisone, Medrol, or Decadron) and you develop:
- Afeverhigher than 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit
- A cough with shortness of breath
- Stomach pain
- Other new symptoms
Go to the emergency room if you have a stiff neck and headache with the fever.
Contact your health care provider if you have repeated yeast infections or oral thrush.
There is no known way to prevent congenital immunodeficiency disorders. If you have a family history of immunodeficiency disorders, you might want to have genetic counseling.
Practicing safe sex and avoiding the sharing of body fluids may help prevent HIV infection and AIDS. Good nutrition may prevent acquired immunodeficiency caused by malnutrition.

Men's soccer edges Wolves 2-1October 23, 2010
The BC men were able to pick up their second SAC win of 2010 on Saturday
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College men's soccer team defeated the Wolves of Newberry 2-1 on Saturday afternoon at the Brevard College Soccer Field. The Tornados now move to 2-12-1 on the season and 2-6-0 in South Atlantic Conference match-ups this year.
Despite falling behind in the first four minutes of play when Nathan Arroyo took a chip pass from Joao Delgado and beat the Brevard keeper at 3:45, Brevard was undeterred as they were able to rally for two goals and defeat Newberry.
Henri Erti (Kangasala, Finland) opened up the scoring for Brevard by taking a shot outside the right-hand side of the box. His shot traveled across the box and tipped off of a defender and into the net to tie up the match at 24:35. It was Erti's first goal of the season.
The score remained tied heading into half-time but it didn't take long for the Tornados to strike again in the second half.
After just 5:21 into the second half, Jaime Villacis (Miami, Fla.) was able to beat the Newberry keeper and give Brevard a 2-1 edge. Villacis took a pass from junior captain Scott Schuurman (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) and was able to take a shot inside the box that beat the goalie on the short side of the net. It was the second goal of the season for Villacis and the first assist of the year for Schuurman. The Villacis goal gave Brevard the lead as they were able to hold on to the win.
Jack Shaw (Simpsonville, S.C.) made the start in net but was replaced by Pauli Jussila (Valkeakoski, Finland) at the 47:37 mark when Shaw was injured after making a save and hitting the post.
The Brevard men play their final home match of the season on Monday, October 25th. They play host to the Queens College Royals, with kick-off at 4 p.m. on the Brevard College Soccer Field.

The Ford Fusion is a mid-sized sedan and must therefore compete in an incredibly competitive segment, going up against heavyweights such as the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Ford has priced the car accordingly, with models starting at $22,000. On the other end of the price spectrum, the Fusion can be outfitted with a variety of luxury equipment, providing a sensible alternative to the entry-level cars sold by several luxury marques.
Compare the 2016 Ford Fusion against similar models
The Ford Fusion remains essentially unchanged for 2016. A new appearance package makes its way to the S version, while Hybrid and Energi versions have gotten a modest price cut. Also new on the Hybrid and Energi is an eco driving mode which should cut energy consumption by the climate control, while simultaneously producing more gradual acceleration from the car.
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.
Below are pictures of the 2016 Ford Fusion. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Ford Fusion. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Ford Fusion is comfortable, roomy, detailed, high-tech, athletic, and last but not least striking. It looks like an Aston Martin, as intended. Even in a NASCAR field, its racy face emerges. Fusion competes with Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Chevrolet Malibu and other midsize sedans.
Plenty of powertrains are available for the Fusion: three four-cylinder engines plus a hybrid gas-electric version and a plug-in hybrid.
The standard engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that doesn't quite live up to the Fusion's dynamic profile or, for that matter, its name. The main attraction here is price. Rated at 175 horsepower, the 2.5-liter comes with a 6-speed automatic and gets an EPA-estimated 22/34 mpg City/Highway, or 26 Combined miles per gallon.
Stepping up to the 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder brings slightly more performance and slightly better fuel economy, with 185 horsepower and 23/36 mpg City/Highway or 28 mpg Combined, or 25/37 mpg with the Stop-Start feature, 29 mpg Combined.
A more powerful 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder brings 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque and is rated 22/33 mpg with front-wheel drive, 22/31 mpg with all-wheel drive.
The Fusion Hybrid is EPA-rated at 44/41 mpg City/Highway, 42 Combined. Fusion Energi is rated 40/36/38 mpg and, because it can be plugged in for more electric drive, less gas-engine use, it also earns an EPA rating of 88 Combined MPGe.
The 2016 Fusion gets five stars in overall safety ratings from the federal government, NHTSA, with four stars for side crash. From the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), it gets the top Good ratings in all the types of crashes except the small overlap frontal category, which mimics a telephone pole. Ford's latest safety innovation is inflating rear seatbelts for the crossovers.
The current generation Ford Fusion came out as a 2013 model. The 2016 Ford Fusion is essentially unchanged over 2015: A new 2016 Fusion S Appearance Package adds 18-inch black wheels, fog lamps and a spoiler. There's also a new Cold Weather package with remote start, heated cloth seats, and floor mats, important features on cold mornings.
Fusion S ($22,110) comes standard with cloth upholstery, SYNC with MyFord, rearview camera, AM/FM/CD with four speakers. (Prices are MSRP and do not include destination charges or incentives.)
Fusion SE ($23,680) upgrades to the 2.0-liter engine, 10-way power driver's seat, SiriusXM Satellite Radio and other features. Fusion Titanium ($30,630) features leather upholstery, Sony premium audio and other features.
Fusion SE Luxury Energi ($31,273) and Titanium Energi ($32,961) feature the plug-in hybrid engine.
Fusion S Hybrid ($23,942), Fusion SE Hybrid ($24,428), and Fusion Titanium Hybrid ($28,994) feature the hybrid gas-electric drivetrain.
Even after three years on the street, the rakish Fusion still turns heads with its stance and proportion. Its big hexagon grille spreads to the sleek headlamps. The softly arched roofline looks like the fastback Audi A7. But from the side it's all Ford.
The first thing you notice inside the Fusion is how quiet it is. Before that, you noticed how solid the door sounded when you closed it. You look around and see good materials, and feel quality. The seat is comfortable and supportive. There's lots of storage space around the center stack. Holy cow, you realize, you're in a base S model.
The center stack was revamped for the Sync touch screen and interface, now with a small army of hard buttons. The piece of metallic trim around the center stack, inspired by Volvo (along with the storage), leaves a strong graphic imprint on the cabin.
We don't like the hard black plastic that scratches easily and fades quickly. So we jump in a Titanium model. We do like the Terra Cotta package, with rich reddish leather.
We put the Ford Fusion among the top midsize sedans when it comes to driving satisfaction: ride, handling, steering and cornering. Only the Mazda 6, some versions of the Honda Accord and the latest Chevrolet Malibu feel as good as the Fusion.
The Fusion is nimble and eager, even with all-wheel-drive. The ride is firm and composed, handling taut and absorbent, and cornering firm and flat. Wheel and tire choice will affect this somewhat.
Both turbo engines bring responsive acceleration with respectable fuel economy. The base engine is one the weaker side, however, with 178 horsepower and torque that peaks at a high 4500 rpm, so there's less oomph and the automatic transmission kicks down a lot.
We like the 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo four, with its 240 hp and 270 lb-ft. It revs quickly, and the paddle-shifting automatic is responsive. It's also quiet and free of vibration.
The 1.5-liter turbo four with 181 horsepower is a good compromise of performance, fuel mileage, and price. It comes with a manual gearbox for fun.
With front struts and rear multi-link suspension, the Fusion is first of all a family sedan, so there's compliance in the ride, more than some but not as much as the Nissan Altima. The steering is consistent when turning, although it could be quicker, and the feedback goes away when counter-steering. It's still quite sporty for a midsize sedan.
The Fusion is true to its name, combining good looks with good response from the chassis and powertrains, while bringing efficiency, comfort, and room.

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.

Christina Aguilera Goes Futuristic
'Xtina' is back and better than ever!
-Carolyn French
Stylish songbird Christina Aguilera is itching to try new things, and what better way to broaden her horizons than to release an edgy and totally non Christina-sounding album?
The hot mama recently spoke to In Touch about her upcoming CD which she hopes will blow us all away.

"I'm so excited — I've had an idea for a futuristic feel for many years now," Christina revealed. "It's always been in the back of my mind to do a more futuristic sound. I was inspired by artists that I am collaborating with on the album. Folks like Sia, Ladytron and Goldfrapp."
Christina's fourth studio album Bionic drops June 8, and in the meantime you can listen to a preview of her first single "Not Myself Tonight" on the singer's official website! (In Touch)
