Looks like a 4 cycle Suzuki...I'm not positive though..
Briggs and Stratton I believe, I could be wrong.....
Suzuki I think
I also think Suzuki.
The valve cover resembles suzuki late 80's early 90's so I guess suzuki also.
Don't think it's a Briggs...I have a 6.5hp Briggs Proline....don't think they made a 6hp....
I Must be Out of the Loop....Was there actually a 4cycle 6hp OHV Suzuki ?
Does it matter?? Are you going to drive down from Canada to get it in LA
that is a briggs!
airfilter cover = Briggs
Rope pulley = Briggs
Oil dipstick tube = Briggs
Trust me on this.
I'd go with a Kawasaki. Toro only has the special 1 gallon gas tank for the Kawasaki model. I may be wrong though. It doesn't look like a Kawasaki though, but it may be.

Message Board Comments
Below, you'll find a sampling of comments about Link's Awakening from members of our IGNboards community. If you want to take part in Zelda-related discussions, head over to our Legend of Zelda board and say "hi" to these guys.
LA was my second Zelda game, after Alttp, and I loved it so much. The style was very similar to Alttp, and the great addition was that it was portable on the Game Boy. After my initial dissapointment of Link not being in Hyrule, I quickly found that Nintendo hadn't forgotten what makes a Zelda game amazing, with great gameplay, good variety in the dungeons, and a lot of fun just wandering around.
LA also set the tone for future portable Zelda games, with the size and atmosphere of the worlds changing to suit the restrictions of a portable console. Having said that, it by no means suffered, and remains today one of my favourite Zeldas of all time.
-- Peterwlindsay
Link's Awakening was wonderful. Although I think Majoras Mask tells us a bit more about Link's personality than Link's Awakening, I loved Link's Awakening. I was captivated as soon as I heard the Ballad of the Wind Fish.
I have had the original Game Boy version, and the DX version, I played and loved both. To me, Nintendo had done the graphics of A Link to the Past in a simple way, on a simple gaming system. And now that the Oracle games have been released, and as many people that have screwed up Zelda games by trying to develop their own, I hope Nintendo has gotten the hint that NOBODY but Nintendo can properly make a Zelda game.
-- Hylian_Bagu
Link's Awakening was my first Zelda game, and it is what started me of not only as a Zelda fan but as a video gamer. I played it at my friend's house, and though I could hardly understand it at first, I was instantly captivated. I had never before played a game with so many possibilities and places to go. It opened up a new world to me, and I went out and bought a gameboy shortly after.
Link's Awakening has the best story of any Zelda game IMO. It is deep, intriguing, and it really makes you think. That's what I love about LA. Also, it has far and away the saddest ending. When you finally find out that the rumors of it being a dream are true, and a few scenes from early on in Mabe Village flash across the screen, it's enough to make my eyes water.
-- LinkOfHyrule664
Since most every opinion has been voiced, I'll make it concise. Link's Awakening was to Link to the Past what Majora's Mask was to Ocarina of Time. A completely unnecessary adventure to save a doomed fantasy world; a story in which Link plays the deus ex machina instead of a Bildungsroman that the garden variety Zelda title is. Majora's Mask's inclusion of "Ballad of the Wind Fish" was nostalgic, and Link sailing off in the ship seen in Link's Awakening at the end of a linked Oracle adventure was profound.
-- Oni_Link87
I don't know what to think of it. Normally I play a Legend of Zelda game as often as I could before beating it, but that was not the case in Link's Awakening.
From what I managed to play, the game was great, entertaining, and challenging.
My main beef about it was that there was too much walking, and it was hard to access areas you wanted to go, and easy to get lost. Normally, I'd find that one of the more enjoyable parts in a Legend of Zelda game, but for some reason in Link's Awakening, it seemed like a chore. And when something becomes a chore, it immediately is not fun. The game could have benefited from a traveling device like the Gale Seed Tree from The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Season/Ages, unless there was one aside from the ocarina which I was not aware of...
The dungeons were entertaining enough, challenging, and innovative, but the seventh dungeon is what ruined the game for me. Throwing the giant metal ball to an area where you don't have access to isn't exactly the best thing you could do.
All in all, I would say the game is pretty good, except for the items mentioned above. I anticipate the day I play the game again.
-- OniLink23
Link's Awakening was my favorite Zelda game until Ocarina of Time. (Well, besides The Legend of Zelda)
Link's Awakening had all of the things most Zelda fans love about the series. Classic boss battles, clasic items, and the best part was the tunic upgrades in the Deluxe version (Power or Defense).
Of course, the biggest plotholes are from that game (IMO). Such as: "Was Link dreaming, or was he drawn into the Windfish's dream?" "If it was Link's dream, why were Goomba's and Piranaha Plants in it?" And finally, "Where did it fall into the Timeline?"
LA was my third Zelda game.
-- lizalfos
I think the thing that really makes Link's Awakening stand out from the rest of the series is its story. It was the first Zelda game to break from the traditional beat evil bad guy and save the princess. It was also the first Zelda game where Ganon really wasn't part of the plot. Instead we have a hero on a journey to hone his sword skills instead of rescuing a land. But a storm comes and our hero is washed up on a mysterious island. He is found by a young woman named Marin, and even though they never really mention it throughout the game, there is something of a love relationship developing between the two. But it is not meant to be as Link quickly realizes that the island he is on may not be what it seems. This game is full of enchantment and mystery, something that no other Zelda game has. It stretches the limits of what Nintendo's little handheld can do and its vision is as great as any Zelda game today. And for that it holds a special place in the hearts of all Zelda fans.
-- Mgoblue201
Link's Awakening DX is the only Zelda game I actually own. I love that game. It really allowed me to ease into the Zelda series. It was a great game with a solid story line but not a huge adventure like that of OoT or LttP or anything like that. I loved it when I first got and I love it still.
-- Cream04849
Link's Awakening. Ah, that brings back some great memories! It was the second Zelda game I played on, the first being Ocarina of Time.
Link's Awakening is one of the games I respect most as a gamer, it is puzzling, fun and challenging in places. It really opened my eyes up to what kind of gameplay a simple handheld system is capable of.
-- Death_Eater
Link's Awakening. Heh. Link's Awakening. It was the very first game I ever played. And it was awesome! Being that I never fully immersed myself in the Legend of Zelda series. Actually, I didn't know of it, or how popular it was, until DX. The original, as well as DX both rocked, with the story being both cool, and the game play kick butt fun. Being that this was the first time I was introduced to Zelda, when OoT came out for the N64, I immediately bought it. I dunno, I sort of liked the style that Link's Awakening seemed to have that wasn't really brought to OoT.
-- BabyYoshi2k
Link's awakening was my first true Zelda game. And also the first one I owned. I've loved it ever since I've played it, and unlike the oracles (that ring collecting made them a chore for me) I love to play it over and over. Although the map got irritating at times, the warp functions helped make it easier. The only thing I ever really didn't like was collecting 20 seashells to get the Level 2 sword. It was fun to go searching the first time, but when replayed it simply got tedious to go back and have to find 20 of them. All in all though, this game is probably third on my list, right up with Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time.
-- stache19
As stache said above. Links Awakening was my first true Zelda game too. It was a one-time special that came with the original Game Boy. I love that game. I started playing it and it took and got through the first dungeon with out any trouble. Then I got to the second dugeon (Bottle Grotto). I was having a good time with it until I had to find the nightmare's key. It took me FOREVER (2 years to be exact). Then finally I got the internet and looked it up. I beat it with out troubles. I then got through the rest of the game with ease.
-- dave6002
Link's Awakening got me into Zelda! I played it when it first came out and loved it, and I bought the DX version. I like it's simplistic and fun gameplay, plus it had good graphics for the old GB! I really like the story about how it was all a dream, and even characters he met in the past were reflected into his dream (Malon and Talon were Marin and Tarin). Collecting 20 seashells for a Master Sword was a very cool quest. Nintendo made a wise choice porting this and fixing it up for GBC, it's one of my fave handheld games ever.

After Upple Breakfast
After sharing his breakfast apple, Jack settled under a shading alder by the river. Suddenly he was asleep, even as the rattie trio finished licking sweet juice off their paws. They left him, started up the brickwork drain under the mages' school.
"What's yer plan then, Steiffa?" piped Little'Ears, leading the way in the dark and the wet.
"Bring silvering...the potions...to all my friends who can use them — and our bravest ratties to visit ev'ry room in the school —" blurted Steiffa, immediately sorry for her audacity, for Little'Ears held a reputation for recklessness on home ground.
"Ev'ry little room, Steiffa! Ev'ry girl! Ev'ry boy! Then down the great drain, quick as water!" she piped, scurrying ahead.
"T'night, dis dangerous plan." muttered Cut'Tail, scurrying along in the rear.
Little'Ears giggled, veered left in the dark, lept the void where bricks long ago fell away.
"Tonight." confirmed Steiffa.
At the top of the great drain, old Matron gave Steiffa's plan unreserved approval, and at once sent the cleverest, quietest rats to visit every girl and boy. None had been removed from their proper rooms, Steiffa ascertained by lunchtime, when the children were brought together to the common hall, faces to the floor, forbidden to speak, and under guard.
She busied herself, and Little'Ears, at a single daylong task, visiting the healer's locked sunny rooms at the top of the school, again, again, and again. Caching those clinking vials, and paper packets, inside the school's walls and close by where they could be useful. For the coming night.
She yearned for Madame's return, and her wisdom in this one girl's plan. She longed for Drakon's company in this one most consequential adventure. If only his voice that had steadied her many a night adventuring in the school. Late in the day, her eyes wet, she allowed that much, her moment, and wept that she might never have her Drakon again. Then she stopped her tears. Madame still had not returned by day's end. Resolute, Steiffa thanked the rats, every one of the two dozen, as they started upon the night's serious task along the secret ways through the darkening school. Then ventured through the walls herself.
She soon caught up with Cut'Tail, trod on his stubby tail behind the loose stones of the west hall's cold hearth. One pair of boots stomped past. Then another.
Plainly jolly, he whispered over his back, "So long as they stomp so, this'll b'easy work, Girl. And she's there..."
Across the greying hall, Steiffa just saw Little'Ears' tail slip through the black gap under a door.
"Bite her if y'have to, Cut'Tail."
"If Uh'can catch her, Girl. Y'go on now." — And Cut'Tail shot from the stones, like a dart shot straight, crossed west hall directly on the heels of the second pair of stomping boots, and vanished under the next door over.
Starting up the backside stones of the hearth, Steiffa came suddenly whiskers to flicking tongue with a snake heading down. And two spiders. And a rat who thought himself charming.
"Niccce evening for an essscape, Sssteiffa." suggested the snake, edging down.
The bristly spiders, twin brothers not near as bristly when they hadn't eight legs each, hissed as one, "We don't like your great drain, Steiffa. We don't like the water."
"You should stay together." she replied, "Help each other down the great drain. There isn't so much water...not at high summer. We'll wait by the river for Madame to come for us."
Steiffa remembered the snake, Sela, roomed on the second floor with three other girls.
"Sela, where're the girls?"
"Cccyrra...Haeda...they were dresssing when I left. Didn't want the town to sssee them flying in their nightgownsss."
"Soldiers didn't think t'lock the windows?"
"Don't exxxpect the twinsss will fly out them."
"And Roya?"
"Sssaysss ssshe'll be coming. But ssshe wasss ssstill abed. Ssshe'sss afraid."
Esmond, the biggish rat, actually a biggish and rude'ish mageling boy, stuck his snout and whiskers in her face.
"Steiffa, Hullo —"
"I will bite!" she warned, scuttling up between the stones.
That silenced Esmond.
Climbing, she called down, "Join up with whoever y'meet, then down the great drain."
Her voice fading below, Sela slid her s's, offered to lead the way.
Strange stomp'stomping greeted Steiffa on the floor above. The pair of men seemingly dancing over the dim hallway between shut doors. They were not in a festive mood.
"Was a rat! Hate 'em!"
"Then stomp 'em! — Scare 'em back in dem walls!"
They danced left. Steiffa crossed right.
She met other students practicing their forms in the next wall. And a wisp of smoke seeping out a nailed window. All seemed to be advancing quite well, Steiffa allowed herself to believe, as she found the top floor hall.
She knew the big end window glowed too little for the soldiers' seeing much more than the lay of the hall, and furnishings not to be bumped. The little night glow, still, was unnerving to a rattie who could see in the dark. The two soldiers clomped, casually as unspeaking pals about for a walk. As they clomped past Steiffa's twitching snout and whiskers, she crossed behind their heels and through under Byell's door.
"Out." said the girl inside the dark room, immediately.
Byell wouldn't budge, it seemed. Not from Byell's barely seen splendid poster bed which Byell's prominent merchant parents put in Byell's private room. Byell, a thoroughly unlikeable high-nose Steiffa mused might prefer anyway the Scarlets' company to her common schoolmates'. The rattie queen might as well turn tail and skedaddle, and leave Byell to her cruel friends, but Steiffa thought it only fair that she tried.
Quickly she lept to the blanket edge, scurried up onto Byell's bed, scampered up the heights of the unlikeable girl's blanketed knees, and stated the fact of the situation straight in her dim face: "Byell, don't be stupid."
"The King's Scarlet Guard are protecting the school. And you're the stupid one, Steiffa. Running about the school, as if you're unstoppable. And when you end up stomped under someone's boot, oh'how pretty you'll be then!"
"SHUSHHH, Byell! They'll hear!"
"You shush! And get off my bed! Guard! GUARD!" — and Byell, safe to her mind in her blanket, she launched Steiffa off her knee.
"Stupid! Stupid, Byell!" — Steiffa rolled to the bed edge, caught the blanket, scurried down to the cool floor, just as Byell's own door to Byell's private room swept in.
The pair of shadows, huge men, filled Byell's own doorway.
"Why your noise?" said one.
"There's a stupid rat — AND A PLAIN ONE!"
Steiffa was glad she hadn't told Byell any more of her plan.
One shadow remained in Byell's doorway. Swinging his arms and seeming fully at ease, the other crossed to the girl in her indistinct poster bed.
He loomed there. And his whispering more menacing than a Scarlet addressing a stupid girl. "Where should I look for the stupid rat?"
Steiffa imagined his face. Knew he must be staring down at Byell in her blanket. The same staring as those soldiers at the circus, leering at the acrobat.
The leg of the blanket chest in the hall was easy enough to reach. Ready, however the guard shifting from foot to foot in Byell's doorway might react, the little rattie edged by the monstrous height of him, so near she smelled the sour oil of his boots. She crossed the floorboards behind him, ducked under the blanket chest, then managed her spectacularly shrill SQUEEEAK! It was the least, and the last, she would do for stupid Byell.
The fellow sprang high, like a cat. He stepped and side-stepped and backed from the doorway, as if some dreaded thing lurked there in the dark. He whimpered even, a most unsoldierlike whimper.
The other left Byell in that bed, tugging the blanket to her shoulders. He made the door in two strides. He shoved the frightened one through, into the hallway. And in front of...something gracefully violent and swiftly passing. Unlucky man, he cracked his noggin on the floor.
The other then stepped through, though his crumpled pal lay at his feet. He turned and turned that brick noggin of his, and clearly did not see. By his boot, and behind one leg of the blanket chest, Steiffa did see. The shadow — that was no student she recognized — padding for him at the run. She backed and backed, deep as she could beneath the blanket chest.
One THWAKK! knocked down that one, and most of him inside Byell's room, but for his great legs blocking the door.
Silent as a cat, the intruder stepped over her brutal work. Suddenly knocking boldly, and twice, upon the blanket chest over Steiffa's startled head, she addressed her directly — "Come out, come out, little girrrl."

- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano

- Register for the Miles for Melanoma 5K to be held at the Universal Studios backlot in Hollywood on May 6, beginning at 7:30 a.m.
- Create a fundraising team and a personalized fundraising page
- Share the page and a fundraising goal with friends, family and social networks
May 6 Event Will Raise Funds for Melanoma Research, Advocacy and Education During Melanoma Awareness Month WASHINGTON and LOS ANGELES, March 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) and Pale Girl SPEAKS announced today that they will partner in hosting a 5K run/walk on the Universal Studios backlot in Hollywood, California. MRF is the largest independent, national organization devoted to melanoma in the United States. Pale Girl SPEAKS, founded by melanoma activist Hillary Fogelson, is an online resource providing practical advice and tips for living safely in the sun. The run/walk will take place on the backlot of the studio where Hillary's husband, Adam Fogelson, serves as the Chairman of the motion picture group. The Fogelsons will co-chair the event on May 6th and Universal Pictures will be a sponsor. The announcement was made today by MRF Executive Director Tim Turnham and Hillary Fogelson. The 5K run/walk will allow participants to experience many of the iconic motion picture scenes that populate the Universal Studios backlot. Runners and walkers will see movie sights that are etched into the collective memory of moviegoers, like the re-creation of Amityville Island from Jaws, Spartacus Square and the village of Whoville. In addition to exploring Universal's backlot, participants will be offered critical tips on how to face the sun safely. "Sun-soaked Los Angeles is a constant battleground which requires real champions in spreading the word about how to protect against the harmful effects of the sun," said Turnham. "We're thrilled to have Hillary and Adam's support in championing our cause and we're looking forward to the event in May." Pale Girl SPEAKS will support and promote the run/walk through its far-reaching social network. A melanoma survivor herself and mother of two young girls, Fogelson has been an advocate for melanoma education, prevention and early detection since being diagnosed over a decade ago. Her website palegirlspeaks.com, which launched in August 2011, provides tips, product recommendations and common sense solutions to help adults and children live sun safe. "It's possible to live safely in the sun, but people need and want simple, practical ways to do that," said Hillary Fogelson. "They need to know how to protect themselves and their families as well as understand the importance of starting early with daily sun protection routines." Pale Girl SPEAKS and the MRF are likeminded in their efforts to educate and provide practical tips for prevention. "I'm thrilled to be partnering with the MRF for this amazing event." Registration for Miles for Melanoma at Universal Studios is open now and the information on how to participate is below:

This is a futuristic piece based on Margaret Atwood's "Time Capsule Found on the Dead Planet." Right now this is limited to only VinnyLouise and myself.
"Lexx, begin running atmospheric tests and send me a report."
Aiaysa Lexx nodded, turning back to her station. She typed commands into the computer in front of her, directing the external equipment to collect a sample of the atmosphere outside of the ship. Once she had extracted the sample, she began to run a barrage of tests, checking the chemical composition of the air.
After the tests were completed, Aiaysa compiled the results into a report for the commander.
"Commander, I have the results. The atmosphere is remarkably similar to ours. There is a slightly higher concentration of carbon dioxide and oxygen, but the nitrogen level is ideal. I only found one thing of real interest: francium. There is a high concentration of francium. It's harmless, of course, but intriguing. I've never encountered an atmosphere with so much francium. I would like to go with the land crew and investigate the source."
"Of course. You're the only one that can keep the men in line, anyway. We're running an optic analysis now, but as soon as it comes back, suit up and head out. Keep an eye out. I don't want to lose any men."
"Yes, sir."
Aiaysa walked back to her office, enthralled. She had never been granted permission to go on a landing. The commander was always very protective of her. She was one of the few women in his troop and by far the most valuable.
"The landing crew is to report to the port. Landing crew to port."
Aiaysa prepared to see her first foreign planet.

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know that I tend to feature mostly vegetarian dishes. I had not planned on going vegan, or "Plantstrong" when I started this blog… but something interesting has happened along the way.
|Now Plantstrong! 🙂
First, I read this blog post about Jeff Walters, a healthy, fit person with high cholesterol who lowered his cholesterol 100 points by following the Engine 2 Diet. The Engine 2 Diet is the cookbook featuring firefighters in Austin, Texas, led by Rip Esselstyn, who gave up eating animal products in order to help one member of their crew lower his cholesterol. You'll be hearing more about the Engine 2 Diet in January, as they are going to be launching a line of products with Whole Foods.
Jeff's story interested me because I don't really have many risk factors for heart disease: I get a reasonable amount of exercise, I'm at my proper weight, and I didn't think I was eating that many animal products. Certainly, not much meat. So I decided to see what my cholesterol was (it's crept up a little every year). If it was higher than last year, I'd go vegan for a few months as an experiment.
My test results in August 2010:
Total cholesterol 258 (yikes, 30 points higher than last year!)
HDL (good) 95 (the goal is for it to be more than 50 so this is great)
LDL (bad) 146 (goal is to be less than 130, not so great)
Triglycerides 77 (goal is to be less than 150)
Since my HDL (good cholesterol) is really high, this is seen as a protective effect. My doctor's note says:
"Cholesterol mildly elevated. Overall pattern of cholesterol is protective. Please see attached handout on a low cholesterol diet. We will re-check in 4-6 months."
The only problem is… I was already doing everything on their list.
So, Plantstrong it was! I started on September 1… I prepped for about two weeks, eating up the stuff in the freezer, using up condiments when making food for a party… all to clean out the remaining animal products in the house. (Since I didn't have a freezer full of sliders, I wasn't about to throw food out. If you have a freezer full of sliders… well… you might want to rethink that for many reasons.)
One way I prepared was by thinking:
What I would eat today when I'm vegan?
What would I do for this lunch? For this trip?
It's definitely harder being gluten-free… as nearly all vegan restaurants rely on wheat gluten (or seitan) for their meat substitutes. I got some cookbooks from the library. I bought a copy of a vegan magazine. I learned that most soy cheese is not vegan (it has milk protein in it). I learned that vegan cheese sucks, except for Daiya brand which even The Husband really likes.
It's been fun, interesting, challenging, sometimes annoying, and surprising. I was getting a little tired of it, truthfully, as I already have some many foods I'm not eating. So, needing some positive reinforcement, so I went for a (fasting) fingerstick cholesterol test. After five weeks, here are my results:
How I'm proceeding from here:
I am going to stick with this vegan thing… I'd say at 95%. My favorite Udi's GF bread does have egg whites in it. And it makes me so happy to eat it. Food is about joy and celebration, not about giving things up. So that's staying in.
I have been making my own soy yogurt and soy kefir. The starter has some milk powder in it. But I figure that has to be better than eating regular yogurt overall. If someone knows of a vegan yogurt-starter, I'm all ears.
When I'm traveling, the choices are in this order:
1) gluten-free
2) sugar-free
3) vegetarian
4) vegan when possible
My goal is to help you, my dear readers, make better choices for your health when you are ready. Going vegan is not for everyone. And I get turned off by the radical messages in the vegan literature. I don't think people are bad if they eat meat or high-fructose corn syrup or processed food. Anyone who wants help and support in making changes is welcome here!
I can see that it's helping me… just like getting off gluten and processed sugar has helped me. My skin looks great, and I have a ton more energy.
I suspect that if everyone became conscious eaters, it would have great benefit in many ways. I will continue to cook joyous, delicious food for you. And, please do send in your naughty recipes if you want help or suggestions.
Thanks for reading! I appreciate each and every one of you!

FireHenrys is conveniently surrounded by popular island attractions that are a must for every SPI visitor. You won't want to miss seeing the Sea Turtles at Sea Turtle, Inc. Founded in 1977 by the Turtle Lady of SPI, Ila Loetscher, Sea Turtle, Inc. provides every visitor with educational presentations that teach us about the different species, how to identify them, and what we can do to protect them, including the rarest species, the Kemp's Ripley. Sea Turtle, Inc. is at the top of the list as an annual summer 'must see' activity for my entire family.
Just next door is a Wing of The World Birding Center, our own South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center. Open daily, this new birding and nature center, complete with a five story observation tower invites you to take an educational voyage from the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, through the dunes on the beautiful beaches of SPI, and into the Laguna Madre Bay. Over 5400 linear feet of bay-view boardwalks and pathways that meander through 43 acres of freshwater ponds provide bird and wildlife viewing at seven different bird blinds throughout the wetlands.
Schlitterbahn Beach Resort is just a short drive down Padre Island Blvd. The resort is open year-round and features a heated-indoor watermark, dining options, and spectacular views of the Gulf Beach. Experience endless fun as you brave the waves of the Torrent, tidal wave river, and float on the Rip Aventura. Schlitterbahn Beach Resort has become an annual summer event for our grandchildren.
Don't miss the opportunity to spend a morning exploring Port Isabel Museums. A thrill for my family is always a visit to the Port Isabel Lighthouse. Constructed in 1852, this lighthouse remains the only lighthouse on the Texas coast open to the public. The Lighthouse Keeper's Cottage still remains on the adjoining grounds and currently houses the Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the Lighthouse, The Port Isabel Historical Museum and Treasures of the Gulf Museum provide exhibits with one of the largest collections of Mexican artifacts form the U.S. Mexican War. Experience where Rio Grande Valley historic roots began - in Port Isabel, Texas.
Without any doubt, the swashbuckling thrill that has created a life-long memory for my family is the interactive, entertainment cruise aboard the Black Dragon Pirate Ship. Located just across the Queen Isabella Causeway, this unforgettable adventure on the Pirate Cruise promises non-stop activities as the ship travels across the Laguna Madre. Whether sighting dolphins maneuvering gracefully through the waters of the Laguna, listening to swashbuckling tales of pirates, or witnessing gun fights and sword battles, children of all ages will leave with exciting memories of this unique sea adventure.
Whether your family spends a day riding horses on the beach, visiting Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, getting close to nature during the thrill of a dolphin watch cruise, or parasailing over the Gulf and Laguna waters, they can end the day with a relaxing sunset dinner cruise. As my family has done for so many years, your family can jump on board of the Southern Wave Catamaran to enjoy a relaxing cruise in the Laguna Madre Bay. A family favorite is setting sail on a sunset cruise to experience a feast of succulent shrimp and fajitas as the sun melt into the Laguna Madre waters. Don't miss a favorite of our family, the summer Friday cruises that end under the island's spectacular fireworks show.
No weekend can end without one of our favorite outings, a Sunday morning breakfast at Ted's Restaurant or The Palms. Both of these local dives capture the essence of the island experience Before leaving South Padre Island, you won't want to leave the island without treating yourself to a session at the Massage and Healing Arts Center on South Padre Island. Licensed massage therapist will provide an opportunity to learn how to relax your mind as well as your body.
To help you revisit your family's unforgettable and spectacular trip to South Padre Island for many years to come, don't forget to stop at the entrance of the island and take a photograph by the world famous 'South Padre Island' sign. Each time you look at the smiles on the faces of you family and friends, you will fondly revisit your journey that brought you to this resort vacation spot off the southernmost Gulf Coast of Texas.
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2014
About the owner: The owners have owned a home on South Padre Island for over ten years. As educators for over thirty years, they have dedicated their careers to educating students throughout the State of Texas. It has always been a dream of the owners to create a vacation home on South Padre Island that can provide families and guests with the most relaxing and beautiful environment possible. During the planning for FireHenrys, every decision was made with one guiding principle - Vacation home owners must create an island home setting that they would want to live in themselves and be proud to share it with family and friends. If it is not good enough for family and friends, then it is not good enough to lease. We would be proud for any of our friends or family to stay at FireHenrys. Every decision that has been made to create FireHenrys has come with great consideration for our visitors to SPI. Are we finished with our ideas? Absolutely not. Will we add more and more unique amenities as the years pass. You better believe it! For now, we have worked diligently to provide a clean, safe, and colorful environment for your family and guests to enjoy. We look forward to accommodating your needs and will be available to visit with you about any of the special amenities and attractions that can be found throughout island. We found our treasures on South Padre Island. Now it is your turn. This way to paradise! Ernest and Ignacio
Why the Owner Chose South Padre Island, TX, USA:
We bought this property because it is located on one of the nicest streets on the island. Constellation is approximately two miles from the Queen Isabella Causeway, so we are far enough away from the heavier traffic during high season to remain a relatively calm neighborhood. There are only about ten permanent residents on East Constellation Drive. Many of the remaining units are vacation homes for the owners. There are no multi-story condominium units on our street. FireHenrys is conveniently located in walking distance to so many amenities. Within minutes, guests can walk to the Wanna Wanna Bar, multiple restaurants, cinema, post office, convenience stores. There is a sunset view of the Laguna Madre and on many calm days and evenings, guests can hear the waves turning over on the beach and smell the sea mist from the Gulf waters. Easy access to the beach was a number one priority. At the end of East Constellation is Aquarius Circle Beach Access #18, only a five minute walk from FireHenrys to paradise. We love the layout of FireHenrys. The spacious family room and kitchen along with the outdoor environment provided in the covered patio and pool area make it a comfortable setting for your relaxation and comfort.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
FireHenrys will feel like your home away from home for your family and guests. Obviously, the jacuzzi bathtub and rain shower in the downstairs master suite will be a hit for everyone, but just as relaxing will be the hot-tub that overlooks and flows into the pool. Many guests want a break from the sun, but still want to be outdoors. The roof-covered patio and outdoor bar provide a relaxing environment and at the same time prevents over exposure to those mid-day rays. Without any doubt, the most unique thing about FireHenrys is its convenient location in a pleasant neighborhood with easy access to all of the amenities of the island.

This is a must have electronic guide when in the park. We analyze thousands of sightings that are shared on a monthly basis and put together a guide that will help you plan the best routes based on hard data.
Included inside is:
- A map detailing the sightings in the last month- A suggested route for a short drive and one for a long drive, in each area of the park- Detailed statistics and graphs highlighting the best camps and the best times to spot your favourite big predator- A checklist- Links to interesting videos from the month that the Latest Sightings Community has sent in
These routes will statistically be able to guide you to more wildlife when in the park, who doesn't want that?

Young Women's Leadership Network (YWLN) supports two life-changing programs that empower youth to break the cycle of poverty through education: The Young Women's Leadership Schools (TYWLS), a high performing network of all-girls public secondary schools, and CollegeBound Initiative (CBI), a comprehensive college guidance program for young women and men.

How does this organization make a difference?
Self-reported by organization
In the United States, only 8% of low-income students earn a college degree. Over their lifetime, a college graduate earns over $1 million more than a high school drop-out. YWLN serves low-income students from non-college educated households who are most vulnerable to being denied college access. Our programs work: alumnae from TYWLS of East Harlem achieve four-year college degrees at nearly triple the rate of their peers, and CBI participants graduating from our partner high schools achieve four-year college degrees at more than double the rate of their peers!
"The more I thought about it, the more I realized that if it were not for TYWLS, my life would have been completely different... Thanks to TYWLS, I will be a college graduate." -Sonia, TYWLS of East Harlem, Class of 2009; currently enrolled at Bates College
"CBI has opened a window of opportunities that were out of my reach. I hope to succeed in my goal of becoming a defense attorney. I know, thanks to CollegeBound, I am well on my way." -James, CBI Class of 2010; currently enrolled at Wheaton College
Self-reported by organization
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Program 1
The Young Women's Leadership Schools (TYWLS)
Through its network of high-performing all-girls public schools, TYWLS
supports young women in achieving their higher education dreams and fulfilling
their learning and leadership potential. TYWLS are privately supported 6th
– 12th grade public secondary schools that promote high-quality
student learning opportunities in and out of school and provide a single-sex
educational choice for predominantly low-income students who will be the first
in their families to attend college. Students are admitted based upon their interest and commitment to a
obtaining a single-sex and college preparatory education. TYWLS are open to girls of all academic
abilities. Girls' education research
guides the TYWLS model, and our schools combine the best practices of all-girls
education with effective strategies that address the array of challenges faced
by at-risk students. The result is an academically rigorous program fused with
strong social-emotional support that forms the basis of TYWLS' "whole girl" education.
As each TYWLS school grows to include a 10th grade, YWLN hires and places at that school a full-time college counselor. CollegeBound Initiative (CBI), a program of YWLN, is a year-round comprehensive college guidance program
that works with student from the 6th – 12th grades to ensure that they
have access to and can afford a college education. CBI's full-time school-based
counselor works closely with principals and teachers to create a college-going
culture that raises parent and student expectations. Counselors guide students
to overcome personal, cultural and financial barriers to college entry through
early college awareness activities; application, financial aid and enrollment
support. As a result, CBI increases
students' college enrollment rates and helps secure the critical financial aid
that makes higher education affordable and achievable.
Program long term success
Since 2001, 99% of TYWLS graduating seniors have been accepted to
college with more than $12 million in financial aid awards. TYWLS alumnae
achieve four-year college degrees at nearly triple the rate of their

CBI counselors collect and track data on students in
all grades (via Naviance). The CBI counselor also tracks individual student's
progress in meeting key college-going milestones (e.g., SAT test registration,
college application submissions) that drives college acceptance success. Each
issues mid-year and year-end reports to the Principal and to YWLN.At TYWLS, where we have a
broader intermediary role, additional evaluation metrics include high school
graduation rates and other measures of accountability (e.g. regents and
standardized test scores).

CollegeBound Initiative (CBI)
CBI empowers young women and men to realize their higher education
potential by placing full-time college guidance experts in high need public
schools. CBI is a comprehensive college
guidance program delivered by a full-time, school-based college counselor at
each of our partner schools. CBI counselors deliver services to students in the
6th-12th grades that include early college awareness, application and
enrollment assistance, financial aid counseling for parents and students,
experiential/pre-college learning, and alumni support. Counselors guide
students to overcome personal, cultural, and financial barriers to going and
staying in college. For CBI students, the question is not if but where they
will go to college.
Program long term success
Since 2001, 95% of CBI graduating seniors (i.e. 4,600 students) have
been accepted to college with more than $57 million in financial aid awards.

progress in meeting key college-going milestones (e.g., SAT test registration,
college application submissions) that drives college acceptance success. Each
issues mid-year and year-end reports to the Principal and to YWLN. CBI headquarters staff including our
senior manager of alumni and partnerships, director of CBI, and our executive
director monitor progress towards the stated goals. YWLN ensures regular
communication, contact and involvement between the Principal, CBI counselor and
teachers to review data and adjust tactics and strategies to meet our year-end
goals and students' college access outcomes.

Funding Needs
Support for coed CollegeBound Initiative to provide a full-time college guidance counselor in a high-need public school; and to provide programming including college trips, college fairs, and summer programs on college campus. CBI support is also needed for capacity-building, such as increasing the number of students served and programming around early awareness and alumni support. Support is needed for all-girls programming at The Young Women's Leadership Schools, including summer programs and programming in the areas of early college and career awareness, science, engineering, technology and math, leadership, health & wellness, classroom grants, principal and teacher professional development. General operating support is also very much needed and appreciated.

Joining the lob (i.e. long bob) bandwagon is none other than everyone's sweetheart- Taylor Swift!
While T Swift is known for her long flowing hair that she's had since pretty much ever, she's chopped it off for a chicer, more mature look:
Kind of loving this new T Swift, you?
Also, she instagrammed a short video of just how many people were there with her when she got her hair cut and um.... wow. My cuts are nothing like this.
(via instagram)
|Love her! on Feb 12, 2014 @ 04:47 pm
I love TSwift and I'm loving the new hair cut, definitely a pleasant change. Also, why are there so many people there while she's cutting her hair and who are they?! I don't know how I would feel if I had an audience while cutting my hair, maybe after when I feel fabulous but not during.
|Nice on Feb 14, 2014 @ 08:08 pm
It looks great on her!
|Very pretty on Feb 17, 2014 @ 10:14 am
Much more flattering...I think it suits her!

They threaten the worst dispute since the national fire strike eight years ago when troops were called in to drive fire engines.
Major contingency plans are being prepared to safeguard London.
The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) held off announcing strike dates until tomorrow afternoon to give the London Fire Authority (LFA) a "last chance" to settle the dispute over working conditiions.
The union is expected to announce a series of 24-hour walkouts. It must give seven days notice of any industrial action.
Union bosses said new contracts being forced on firefighters would mean a "worsening of pay and conditions in what is already a very stressful job."
They say firefighters have effectively been sacked because the new contracts change working conditions and shift patterns - but the LFA denies this.
The London Fire Brigade has already withdrawn 27 fire engines across the capital under contingency plans to deal with any walkouts - a move described as "provocative" by the union.
London Fire Commissioner Ron Dobson said: "This is not a decision that has been taken lightly and even at this late stage I am urging firefighters to consider the effects strike action might have.
"London's fire authority has a legal duty to provide a fire and rescue service at all times, including during a strike as we are no longer able to turn to the military as we did during the last strike in 2002/3."
The brigade said many engines were used every day for training purposes while others were taken out of service to undergo maintenance, adding: "The capital still has the cover it needs to deal with emergencies."
The FBU said the 27 fire appliances, almost a fifth of the entire fleet, would be used by the LFB to try to break any strike.
A spokesman said: "There are huge implications for public and firefighter safety. The Brigade has a duty to consult with staff and public over reductions on fire cover. It has failed to do so.
"Staff have not been informed of any new mobilising arrangements. It will cause huge confusion. It's a provocative move which will inflame the situation, especially as negotiations are ongoing."
Brian Coleman, Chairman of the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority, said: "It's disappointing and saddening that the only losers in all of this will be firefighters. A strike by the FBU will be unnecessary, unjustified and viewed unsympathetically by Londoners. This dispute centres on proposed changes to make people safer."

swap out AOD with E4OD
What does anyone know anything about those aftermarket electronic transmission controllers. What is the best Ford transmission for heavy towing?
the E40D would work well for towing. A multi-disc lock up converter would be advised
The Comp U Shift controller works very well.
The E40D can be built to withstand alot of abuse.
Baumanator (sp?) also builds a pretty nice controller.

Executive Interview : Must Ask Questions for the contact center industry - Interview With Juhani Kaariainen
What is your number 1 priority for your center in the short term (next 3 months) and why is it critical?
Information calibration between Clients and Contact Centers. Critical is a strong word. Please take this as a critical-light-thought. Fast changing world.
In your opinion, what is more important to you when managing your center? Net Promoter Scores?, Customer Effort?, First Call Resolution? Employee Engagement?
Management is not my path today. I believe that satisfied customers rule the world in the end. Both customers and clients are realists, the Bell Curve is there. It's up to us to explain solutions correctly. Academic-surgery or Layman-talk, no matter what.
How have you adapted to meet changing channels like Twitter, Facebook, Live chat, etc. and what challenges has this posed in the way you have run your center in the past?
Early hungry bird can't find the worm. Start with "Poster-level" and let moderate organic growth lead the process.
How do you structure your team to make sure the customer reaches the most appropriate employee to answer the question at hand?
TM-Mentor-Agent trio works fine. Just keep in mind to arrange relevant education to all. Accept no status-outsiders.
In your opinion, what technology has had the greatest positive impact on your customer satisfaction results? - please explain
Old fashioned dialogue when customer gets an aha-experience. Walk-throughs on web-sites are yes still needed and creates trust and gives to actual customer feeling that s/he has learned something today. Change frustration to knowledge.
Away from reality for a moment - Assume you have unlimited budgets and could change 3 things in your center, what would you change and why?
1) Work rotation gives holistic view. Quality should be a kind of On-Off unit i.e. "kill your darling" regularly.
2)Off time moves to a third party composed from floor walkers and fresh university guys. Then back to On-staff, hopefully same folks.
3) Flexi-time gives puts energy where it's needed.
What do you see as the 3 key 'hot topics' in the industry today and what are you doing as a center to address these?
Info-calibration - Openness - and Communication Measurements are hot. Mouth to mouth works relatively fine at the moment i.e. organic growth rules.
From a Human Resource 'HR' perspective, what initiatives do you rate as the most successful when it comes to retaining talent in your center?
Pick genuine internal communication talents with moderate speed career plans. People learn what's needed if you can deliver individually.
What are some of the common mistakes you see or hear others doing in this industry - mistakes etc. that we can all learn from?
Remove fast and big dollar signs from entrepreneur's eyes. Win-win situation exists but don't count just heads and money. Give the process time.
In your opinion, is the customer service you personally receive in your country getting better? getting worse? or staying the same compared to say a year ago?
Status Quo, no change.
Artificial agents - will they kill or support the contact center industry?
Seems that folks have good relaxed attitude. Machines are machines and easy to forgive their errors.
Share 3 ways to have fun in your contact center - elaborate with details where you can
1) How-are-you-plus works fine as usual
2) Lunch
3) AW and hobby talk
What's the best way to schedule staff? explain your answer
Pro-active dialogue as always. Agreement rules.
Gamification - how does it affect the contact center performance?
More and more fast keyboard users, good for AHT.
How to reward your best staff - what do you do that makes them more loyal and perform better?
Do you believe the future leaders of this industry are the people at the front line, or others coming in from other industry sectors or parts of the company and why?
Changes in the sport-world will deliver us the greatest leaders in the future. They have energy, psychology and right spirit.
Do you believe in the saying 'Happy Staff = Happy Customers' and why?
Happiness can smooth daily frustration-moments. Wrongly oriented happy staff just makes things worse.
Outsourcing your contact center to a 3rd party - good or bad and why?
No matter who runs the CC if it's managed right.

terrible!!!! 07/25/2012
This review is from: SAMSUNG EcoGreen F4 ST2000DL004 2TB 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
First off, it's not a samsung drive but a cheap piece of junk from seagate.
First time using this drive I got several write failures so I looked for the firmware update everbody talks about. Okay, ignore samsung because their utilities and firmware won't even work on this drive because it doesn't recognize the drive. Nice! Supposed to be a samsung drive.
Okay, so I pulled the drive, reformatted, and aligned the drive on win7. Then I ran the seagate tests for dos and windows -- no errors except every time it complains the drive at some point in it's history that it ran at some some ridiculously high temp, and btw the current temp reading is bogus.
So I checked the drive for bad sectors and then did a surface scan. After running for more than a day, I get an i/o error just before the test finishes.
Bottom line is that this drive appears to fail intermittently but seagate won't take it back because it passes their tests. Nice!
Other Thoughts:
Also really cool. This drive won't run except as a 'primary'. Set it up any other way and my mobo won't see it, or it does see it but then causes apps to hang or run ridiculously slow. I can't see any errors or reported failures but my system is completely useless with this drive plugged in. Remove the drive and everything is fine again.
