Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Mike!
Facts about Mike
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Mike's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Mike and Molly are two puppies. They are both 8 weeks old, brother and Sister, and both are already tall and leggy. They are going to be BIG dogs. Mike and Molly are working on puppy pad training, and are good with other dogs and cats. They came from a rural shelter who was going to have to euthanize due to lack of space. Better pictures coming soon! Adoption fee is $200 which covers spay/neuter, shots, microchip, worming, and vetting. Visit www.fidosrescueandrehab.petfinder.com for an adoption application.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mike, a Lancaster Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in Lancaster, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) puppy from a breeder in Lancaster.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Lancaster already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Lancaster breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Lancaster paves the way for another one to be saved.

Drinks Recipes
Delicious Drinks to Enjoy This Fall
Several times a week, I take little Aria to "Toddler Story Time" classes, which she enjoys tremendously. The theme these days is about the fall season. Miss Rose, the teacher, explained that leaves begin to change color and Aria seemed mesmerized by all the changes this season suggests.
When we went home, she made a drawing with trees and leaves. While she was busy, I made a pumpkin smoothie for a tasty seasonal treat. Then I told her we'd start cooking more fall-flavored dishes to satisfy her daddy's seasonal holiday cravings. For now, I'm sharing with you delicious drinks to enjoy this pre-holiday time.

Healthy Green Juice Recipe
My friend Carole and her husband have been so keen on making juices, she often gives me suggestions on how to create new drinks with my powerful blender. Today's healthy juice is a blend of pure, freshly pressed apple juice, fresh cucumbers, baby kale, spinach leaves, lime juice, chia seeds and a lot of ice cubes.
The chia seeds add a beautiful consistency to the juice, which can otherwise seem a little flat. They are loaded with health benefits, so if you want to start the day on a wonderful note, take a few minutes to prepare this "superfood" drink and remember to consider adding more greens to your daily life.

Moroccan Mint Iced Tea Recipe (Video)
Iced tea is so refreshing on those hot days of summer. Today, I infused fresh spearmint from the garden in green tea. The invigorating fragrance of mint makes it pleasing to even the most refined palate.
I just finished filming the cooking tutorial. You'll see how easy it is to prepare. Sit back, watch, sip and relax!

Ford Motor Company has announced today that it will add a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder variant to its EcoBoost lineup.
Expected to produce 180 hp and 170 lb.-ft. of torque, the engine will be the smallest of the three EcoBoost offerings from Ford. The new engine will make its production debut in the European Ford C-MAX later next year. A larger 2.0-liter version may be seen in the 2011 Ford Fusion.
Like all EcoBoost motors, the small four cylinder gets help from turbocharging and direct-injection. The 1.6-liter will do the same duty as a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter engine, but will produce as much as 20 percent less CO2, Ford says.
By 2013, 90 percent of the Blue Oval's North American lineup will be available with EcoBoost technology. Can we expect to see this engine in the 2011 Ford Fiesta? We suspect so.

Bridal Shower Invitations And More
The very first step toward a happily ever after is a stylish bridal shower full of friends and family. It's a wonderful opportunity for the bride to bond with loved ones and it also gives her a chance to receive gifts that will come in handy later on in her married life. So before the celebration begins, get your posh party planning under way with our unique collection of bridal shower invitations. With over 250 stunning designs to choose from, we have a wealth of gorgeous color options, unexpected card formats and popular themes and styles to inspire your special event.
Wedding Paper Divas makes it easy (and dare we say fun?) to shop for the perfect bridal shower invitations. Browse by price, print type, color, number of photos, theme or even our design guru's top picks to find the one that suits your bride best. So whether she wants a sophisticated soiree or a more relaxed and fun affair, we have beautiful bridal shower invitations that will certainly set the right tone for her party.
Once you settle on a chic design, you can then begin customizing your bridal shower invitations by choosing a color that matches the party's decorations as well as adding a fabulous photograph of the bride-to-be. And while it should of course include important details about the event such as the time, date and location, you can also get a little creative with your bridal shower invitation wording by featuring charming poems or quotes. With such a memorable and thoughtful invite, she will forever be grateful to you for making her party so special. And after you customize the bridal shower invitations that you know the soon-to-be bride will absolutely love, find complementing thank you cards, address labels, party favors and more to complete an unforgettable look for the special event.
Are you looking for something a little different for your celebration? We also offer wedding shower invitations for the non-traditional party planners and couples-to-be. A wedding shower is unique because the gifts tend to be geared more toward the couple rather than just the bride, and it also gives the groom a chance to take part in all the fun festivities. And for those events that celebrate the end of singlehood, we also have bold bachelorette party invitations which will perfectly kick off that lively ladies' night out.

I want to copy a file in my Google Drive using the web interface. Adding it to another folder seems to create a hard link rather than a file that can be changed independently of the original. There doesn't appear to be an action with a name like "copy," "duplicate," or "clone."
Yes. While editing the document open the File menu and select Make a copy... You can optionally copy the collaborators from the original document. Comments are not copied. |
If you select a file then hold control (CTRL) key and click "move to" google drive will create a hard-link of sort so the file will appear in both locations but if delete from either location it will delete the file i think. |
Doesn't work for folders, but you can Right-Click each file and "Make a copy", which you can then drag-n-drop to your new destination. Although lots of clicking, I'm using this method. |
It appears Google have made this very difficult, I guess to stop the accidental creation of various versions of documents. If the file is a Google format, you can open it and select File → Make a copy to duplicate it. If it isn't, the only work around I've seen within the web interface is this cumbersome solution. (Only for files smaller than 25Mb.) |
There is a workaround to this. If you have Microsoft SkyDrive, put your Google sync folder inside the SkyDrive and do your copying from within SkyDrive. |

We live on the 15th floor of a vintage high rise building and had our a/c system replaced this spring. We have one horiztonal air handler in a ceiling which serves the front of the apartment (and is located near the front of the apartment) and is operating normally. We have a vertical air handler in a closet which serves the back of the apartment. It has a significant amount of condensation on the outside of the air handler and the visible supply ducts even though the closet door is open and we are constantly running a dehumidifier in the room. We've had the installer out numerous times and they've made sure that the holes that were drilled to the outside of the building and have been sealed. They insist that there must be a source of warm air coming from some kind of hole between the floors. Apparently, the floors are pretty thick concrete but there are honeycombed air spaces between the floors.
The installer's recommendation is that we tear out the ceilings (which are dry wall and dropped slightly from the original 10 foot height in certain places to accomodate the duct work) and insulate the duct work and insulate the air handler. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Obviously, it's a lot of work and expense to repair the ceilings and we don't want to push the condensation problem someplace else. Is there anything else we should ask them to look at before we take this step? Thank you so much. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Get a hygrometer with dew point (p3 internationl) and measure the humidity levels in the closet and other rooms. Are you running exhaust vents when you shower? Do they sufficiently vent moist air? What about the washing machine and dryer? Locate your sources of moisture and make aure you are keeping the inside below 50% humidity. The fact that both the exterior of the air handler and the vent grills are condensating says you may have toomuch humidity in the home. Also, how long are the ac units running for? Is it long enough for them to properly remove moisture? Perhaps they are oversized for the air space and existing duct work. |

The heart and soul of the Loaves and Fishes program, Friendship Park is a private park that provides activities, information and a safe environment for our guests during the day. 307,278 cups of coffee were filled in 2007 as well as 218,967 pastries served for morning breakfast. The Park provides telephones and free local telephone calls to our guests. There is an Information Service Center (916 446-9316) to assist and sign up guest for services: Noon meal, hair cut vouchers, toiletries, and locker storage. With the help of donations from the community, Loaves and Fishes has built a Wash House which provides laundry service for our homeless guests as well as a place for men to shower and shave (with toiletries included).
Within the confines of the Park is a Library Reading Room (916 446-0874) where guests can appreciate a full service library with books, daily newspapers, and periodicals. The library allows quiet time and space for studying and writing.
Friendship Park's Day Labor (916 832-5510) employment referral services referred over 1,877 jobs to our homeless guests in 2007. Participants are willing and able to work in a wide range of jobs including yard work, construction and moving.
Often disconnected from family and friends, our guests who have died are remembered through memorial services at the Memorial Wall where their names are etched in stone never to be forgotten. The Memorial Wall is located over a waterfall and pond in a peaceful corner of the Park.

Matthew 7:6 -Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. (NASB)
In Matthew chapter seven Jesus gives us the balance between right judgment and wrong judgement. We are to show humility in Spirit, and yet display power of Spirit. Taking the speck out of your brother's eye first begins by removing the log that is in your own eye (Matthew 7:5). We are to first confess our own sin so we can clearly see the sin in our brother's eye, and therefore help him remove it. Clear vision begins by removing our own hindered vision. Fuzzy vision is usually caused by the timber of the log that is jammed in our own eye.
Then Jesus gives a striking illustration about casting what is holy and precious to dogs and pigs. Keep in mind that the beginning of chapter seven Jesus is dealing with judgement; good judgement and bad judgement. Context is vital when interpreting scripture.
So who are the dogs and who are the swine? Keeping what is holy and precious from being trampled first begins by examining who to keep it from.
I am a first time dog owner. I still call him a puppy and treat him like a child. It's quite sad considering that I use to despise pets, but then I got married and I apparently turned to mush. You'll understand one day if you're not married. Yet in Biblical times dogs were not used as pets. They were actually despised and looked down upon. Unless you kept a dog to help shepherd your flock you had no need for a dog. Dogs were wild, dirty, vicious and would eat anything they could find. Dogs at that time period were scavengers and diseased. These were not the days of immunization shots, kennels and squeaky toys. Dogs were vile. Keep that in mind when Jesus called the Syrophoenician woman a dog (Mark 7:25-30).
A dog was not fit to be a partaker of what was holy. The sacrifice that burned upon the altar was not to even be shared with dogs. What ever the priest did not eat or take to his family, was burned up. We give our dogs the scraps from the table, but that was unthinkable to a Jew. (Again, go to Mark 7:25-30 and be reminded about Jesus' words).
Holy things are not for the profane. The dog would not have appreciated the holy, sacred things of God. It would have simply gnarled them, and swallowed them without even a thought about its taste or goodness. A dog will return to its own vomit, the very substance that made it sick, and swallow it (2 Peter 2:22).
Swine were considered unclean animals under the Law of Moses (Leviticus 11-8). No ham, bacon and no barbecue pork. The pig was a stench in the nostrils of Jews. Swine were not domesticated, like the dog. The pig was vile, dirty, unruly and greedy. They too would eat anything that came before their snout. If you were to get in the way of a pig and its food, it could turn on your and tear you to pieces.
The issue that Jesus was presenting was not another discourse on what was unclean and not to be eaten. Far from it. The circumstance was putting what was holy and precious before something, or someone who could not appreciate it. What was holy and sacred was to be shared with proper judgment. We are not to judge (Matt. 7:1), but we can use good judgment.
This is a hard saying indeed. We want to share the Gospel with everyone. But not everyone will believe the Gospel. Some will absolutely despise anything holy and pure. They have no regard for the precious truths of God's Word.
"Count not men to be dogs or swine; but when they avow themselves to be such, or by their conduct act as if they were such, do not put occasions in their way for displaying their evil character. Saints are not to be simpletons; they are not to be judges, but, also, they are not to be fools. Great King, I need thee, not to only open my mouth, but also at times to keep it shut!" – Charles Spurgeon

Volvo XC90 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
keondgo Posts: 4I am looking to purchase a 2008 XC90 Green Metallic. It was a corporate lease vehicle and has 20,000 miles on it. V6 AWD w/ third row, leather climate package. The dealer is asking 33,977, I am planning to offer them 30,000 for it. I am trying to figure out what they probaly paid for it at auction to see how much they have in it. I wanna be fair but at 34k i could buy a brand new one for 6k more. The point of buying a used is get rid of some of that depreciation. Anybody have a similar experience or any thoughts?
rocknroll389 Posts: 31If you can find a new 09, or even a demo 09 you would have a much better deal IMO. The 09 comes with the 08's premium and versatility packages as standard and start at the same MSRP (sticker price on an 08 equipped the same way as an 09 was about $3500 higher). Right now, looking at the incentives ($1000 volvo allowance and $1500 loyalty) and subtracting from invoice, you can pick up a new 09 in the mid $30s. Best thing about the 09s is they include Safe and Sound which retails for $3000 and includes maintenance/warranty/etc which the 08s do not. BTW i no all this cause ive been shopping for a volvo xc90 or xc60 the past few month but we went with the '60.
keondgo Posts: 4Hard to find a 09, I guess more will be showing up after the first of the year off-lease but I have found some (3) identical xc90's 200 miles away listing for no haggle 30k so that leads me to believe that a dealer can and should be able to do this. 2 of them have the 6yr 100000 mile warranty as well
volvogirl2 Posts: 2Can someone please help!! I am coming off a lease of a 2008 XC90 AWD with 3rd row, climate, versatility and rear seat entertainment system. I have 17,000 miles on it and a buy back of $31,400. Is that a good buy back?
I am trying to figure out what to do. Can someone please list all of the incentives on a new XC90 for us?
I know the Costco program is offering $500 off of employee pricing + $500 Costco gift card
Manufacturer to Dealer is $500
Owner Loyalty is $1500
Are there any other incentives out there for US bank or leasing through a 3rd party bank?
How to I figure out the employee pricing starting point to see if I am getting a good deal? We are looking for an XC90 with AWD, 3rd row, climate and bluetooth.
Thank you so much for all of your help. I really really appreciate it.
volvogirl2 -
atl_golfer Posts: 9Thanks for your help. I couldn't follow some of the lingo and come up with an invoice price either.
I offered them $30.5k just now. We'll see if they bite. I'm not willing to go up much more, if anything at all. I think that is a fair price for a car that is stickered at $40k with 7k miles on it...and has been in loaner service since June. -
keondgo Posts: 4Just got back from the dealership, Bought a 08 blue xc90 3rd row premium package climate package certified with 30,000 mi (6yr 100k warranty added 1500) fresh from the auction they hadn't even gone over it yet. paid 31000+ttl. Not sure it was a great deal but they wouldn't go any lower. original sticker was 45k. so basically i got a car with 30k miles that is not hurt for about 10k less than a new one , Dealer is gonna fix a couple of scratches, all new brakes, all new tires, and perform a complete service , we pick up Friday. I went to 3 different dealerships with money in hand in virginia and this was the best deal i could get on identical vehicles. they must be paying 26-28k or so at auction.
hollywood53 Posts: 39
hollywood53 Posts: 39volvogirl, you may be very dissapointed with the new lease programs, when is current lease up? who is it leased thru? current payments, What equipment?
I will give you some suggestions by the end of day along with current values? Your location? ( ex. Albany NY) this sometimes comes into play not looking for anything exact -
volvogirl2 Posts: 2Thanks hollywood53!
Lease is through VCF. I live on Long Island. Current payments on 2008 XC90 AWD, 3rd row, climate, versatility and rear seat entertainment system is $430 per month. Buy back is $31,400 + taxes. It currently has less than 18,000 miles on it. Lease is up by the end of the month, but I can extend it through VCF for 2 extra months.
I am trying to figure out whether I should buy my 2008 back or lease/buy a new 2010 XC90 similarly equipped (minus rear seat entertainment system). MSRP of new vehicle would be $42,350. What would the invoice be? Then if I minus the current incentives of $2500 - where would I be? What would be a good deal on this car? And with the new leasing deals, residuals are very low (something like less that $16,000 buy back after 48 months) - does it make sense to lease and then buy after 48 months?
Thank you for your help with this!! -
hollywood53 Posts: 39Volvogirl
I am assuming it is 6 cyl, I am retired GM from volvo,the programs are horrendous, I just turned in two cars and after 35 years this is the first time there will not be a Volvo in my driveway.
I would definetly extend the lease for the 2 months contact me, some things I just cant post in a public forum somethingnew53 yahoo
here is a copy of what I posted in the Honda pilot forum
No I do not charge a fee, sometimes you just have to give back and be thankful for what you have. I do this for local people that need some help or dont like the whole process, and in todays economic times if I can save people a couple of dollars a month it is reward enough. I am not looking to help those whos only interest is to beat a dealer over the head but to help those that need to be educated about there deal.
I have helped numerous people on the volvo xc90 and xc 60 boards already as to availabilty and programs, have provided MF, residuals, rebates and incentives etc.
Coming from an industry that sometimes doesnt have the best reputaion there are dealers that do business the right way and those that take advantage of people.
If I see someone posting a deal that I feel is not equitable, I will let them know and try to help, keep in mind that like everything else in life it must be balanced. Deals can tilt both ways sometimes a little to the dealer sometimes a little to the consumer and that is OK but it should never be totally tilted in either direction, if they all tilted in the consumers benefit than someday that dealer may not be there to provide service. -
nicholaspmom Posts: 3We are looking at the Volvo XC90 2010 model with R package. We are using the Costco offer:
I know the Costco program is offering $500 off of employee pricing + $500 Costco gift card
Manufacturer to Dealer is $500
Owner Loyalty is $1500
I am not a current Volvo owner so we are not eligibile for this incentive.
Finance rate is 4.34%
I have a copy of the invoice
Base 37130
All Wheel Drive Traction 1880
Climate package 752
Metallic Paint 517
Destination 850
Advertising 250
Total 41,379.00
They would be offering 500.00 OFF the above invoice.
Is there any room for negotiation on this or should we go ahead with the deal? -
hollywood53 Posts: 39You can subtract the 500 costco,and the 500 market support, and you didnt list your location but if the car is in stock there is probably room for another 500 to 1000. Location is the key this varies tremendously by different areas of the country.
For all posters please list your area with your questions, Sometimes what is happening in some major markets is not happening elsewhere. the incentives are usually the same, what varies is the advertising fees and the degree of dealer discounts. -

atl_golfer Posts: 9Thank you very much for doing this:
2010 2WD w/ 7k miles
Wood Wheel
3rd Row
I think everything else is standard. Park Assist as well, but I think that is standard? Sticker was just over $40k (I think $40,225).
They came down to $32,500. But it does not sound like they will budge another inch. Dealer broke down a new car with same equipment and it came to $35k and change (w/ loyalty, costco, $500 manufacturer). I would think that 7k miles would depreciate the car a little more than $2,500. Frustrating. I feel like they just want to get me into a new car if they can. That, or the incentives really don't allow a loaner car to make financial sense. -
hollywood53 Posts: 39Are you saying that it is invoice minus the costco 500 and the market support of 500 making it 1000 behind invoice? If so there is still a little room even in Vermont but dont expect anything more than 3-500, this is a tough call cause there are so few dealers there, and if not then your current pricing is excellent for your georaphical area
Happy Holidays -
hollywood53 Posts: 39here is the breakdown
cost = 38113 including adv fee
Minus 500 market support
minus 500 costco
minus 2000 holdback
minus 2000 loaner car support
minus 1500 loyalty if you qualify for all the above
plus 300 park asst ( this is not standard but might have been dealer installed)
total= 31913 this is what is called dealer net net cost
I would ask for oil change and new front brake pads, at the 32500, that 7k was all local driving as a loaner car outside of that a good deal.
Happy Holidays -

atl_golfer Posts: 9Me again. Now we are comparing buying new.
Quick question, I just noticed that USAA has discounted prices...looks like $1000 below invoice. Can I stack with Costco, or is it either one or the other?
This is the math I'm getting for one with $37,411 ($39,425 MSRP) - FWD, Metallic, Wood Wheel
-$500 - Manufacturer Support
-$500 - Costco
-$1,500 - Loyalty
TOTAL: $33,911 (or $34,411 if I have to add back Costco)
Is this correct, or do I need to add back the $500 due to offers not being able to combine? Obviously I use USAA program if not. Also, I am in Atlanta. Can the dealer offer any discounts? Thanks for all your help! -
atl_golfer Posts: 9Update to previous post (would have just edited it, but no option). Dealer said $1000 USAA (ZAG) negates the $500 Manufacturer Support. So, USAA is net $500 more off on top of current offers. New math on unit I quickly looked at today:
$37,807 Invoice ($39,900 MSRP)
-$1500 Loyalty
-$500 Costco
Final question. There is $250 in advertising included in the invoice pricing. Is it possible to get any more $$ off from the dealer? Thanks again for all your help! -
dbh518 Posts: 4Hi. I am in the final stages with two dealers on purchasing 2010 xc90 under costco program at invoice less $2,500 ($500 volvo; $500 manufacturer-to-dealer; $1,500 loyalty). Both dealers have the cars in their inventory. I am wondering if anyone has been successful at negotiating a price below invoice less $2,500 rebates. I have read of comments about $2,000 holdback - has anyone been able to confirm this? I am willing to take $750 in accessories rather than lower selling price. Would appreciate anyones thoughts/experience. Thank you very much.

mr42810 Posts: 1Hello,
I'm in the market for a 2008 XC90 AWD. I'm located in the Boston area and shopping at Boston Volvo and 128 Volvo. Both dealerships have a decent inventory to choose from and most vehicles are just off lease. I'm wondering how much negotiating room there is from the dealer's listed selling price? Also, I'm looking to make a purchase in the next few weeks. Is it worth it for me to get done by the end of the year? Will the dealer be looking to move inventory before year end which in turn may get me a better deal? Any similar experiences or advice? Any help is much appreciated! Thank you! -

My wife and I are also looking at used 2008 XC90 AWDs at Boston Volvo and 128 Volvo. Have you visited either dealership? We have spoken with Jerry at 128 who is one of the internet salesmen. He indicated that it is roughly $2k more to make their used XC90's certified used Volvo's with the 7/100k warranty. I have not contacted Boston Volvo, but I assume it is the same case there.
I'd be interested to know how much lower either dealer is willing to go on the price. Based on the online inventories, it seems like 128 has better initial prices.
If I get a chance to visit either dealership, I'll post any other information I obtain.
Good luck! -
skvolvo Posts: 3Does anyone know if there is a way around the Costco programme"s requirement of being a member at Oct. 31st? I am looking to buy a 2010 XC90 I6 and the extra $1k is too good to miss. Unfortunately I did not know about the COSTCO programme before hand and hence did not get the membership. Any advice would be appreciated.
