They say that I'm a euphemism for a new religion
Praying that my comrades all get out of prison
Stuck in Clinton, in a system where they're thinking that I did it
Deserve to be born in the first place, 'cause of my pigment
Darker than the Caucasoid complexion kind of different
On a Harley David is King David saying my tehilim
Pistol in my waist still wrapped in my tefillin
On a camel with the Arabs cause Ishmael is my sibling
I'm on my own thing, yes, Moses
I don't part the sea, I fly a jet across the ocean
Yeah, God the one that wrote this
So make sure that you're listenin' 'cause I'm just an instrument
I'm from the block where ain't no scholarships
Guess she only knew the things I do make my momma sick
And Larry Hoover was my tutor
Now I made teshuva from the King Crown of Judah
Beware that you're not listening to the king of Judah rhythm
Running over pigeons in my Lamborghini engine
Try to make a billion, middle finger to you critics
I'mma always be the illest, whether mobster or Hasidic
Don't care about no image, bro, I'm runnin' buildin' bridges
For the people desert equal cats, who they were on the pavement. (?)
Trayvon Martin, Martin Luthor King they wanna kill us
Star of David in my visions, ya'll be knowing who the king is
Yes Moses, I'm on a boat, get shot skin ya
Hundred million on the ocean
Yeah, black diamond, red roses
Whoo for Africa, oh, hail the Ethiopians
I'm all about philanthropy
Money for the Po', big talk, can you answer me?
Smoking on a cuba, lying in a cougar, king crowned Judah

Getting Started in Genealogy
By Libby Feil
Weddings and birthdays and burials, oh my! Writing down the dates and places of these important events is the first step in your family history journey. Start with yourself and your immediate family, listing all the places and dates you remember. When were you born? When did you get married? What about your parents? Make notes on all the family members you know, with their full names, their relationship to you, and their dates and places of birth, marriage, divorce, death, and burial. Don't forget important religious events like baptisms, bar and bat mitzvahs, and so on if you know them.
How can you keep track of all this information? You can find blank forms online that will help you get organized. Ancestral or pedigree charts let you record information about yourself and your ancestors (parents, grandparents, and so on). Family group sheets give you a place to record everything you find out about a particular family.
Once you have noted down everything you remember, the next step is to ask your relatives what THEY remember. You may want to try your hand at oral history. The Local History & Genealogy Room has books which can give you suggestions and techniques for carrying out and recording oral history. Try Recording Your Family History: A Guide to Preserving Oral History ..., by William Fletcher; Once Upon A Memory: Your Family Tales and Treasures, by Jean Alessi and Jan Miller; or Keeping Family Stories Alive: A Creative Guide to Taping Your Family Life & Lore, by Vera Rosenbluth.
Now you have a lot of information about your family. You need to make sure that the information you have is correct, and you need to work backwards to find out information about more distant relatives. How do you go about this? You may want to use one of the Library's genealogy handbooks to help you map out a strategy. Try Ancestors: A Beginner's Guide to Family History and Genealogy, Celebrating the Family: the MyFamily.com Guide to Understanding Your Family History, or William Hartley's The Everything Family Tree Book: Finding, Charting, and Preserving Your Family History. And check back soon for more tips and ideas on continuing your genealogy journey!

Good food – I really like the food. A nice place to eat out with the friends. Convenient location and I try to eat here at least one a month.
Food is good, but... – Me and my wife just finished lunch at this place. It's Sunday and parking was quite a challenge. We did not order a whole lot of dim sum and had the feeling that attention was not given to our table. The food was good, but the feeling of being ignored left bad taste in our mouth!
Very good food, but expensive... – I only come here for special occasions because its just so expensive. The food here is good, especially if you get one of the expensive dinner packages. They're menu just consists of dishes that other restaurants can't make, because of the expensive ingredients. They make a really good chilean sea bass, its so fatty it just melts in your mouth. The price is actaully pretty good if you compare it to a non chinese restaurant. Its just that chinese food around SF is so cheap that it makes this place seem expensive. Any american, italian restaurants will run you a bill of $20 a person, however, you get a lot of seafood with this place, rather than pasta (which is dirt cheap.) For dessert, go for the mango pudding, its the best mango pudding I ever had.
Great food – This is a really good restaurant. The Dim Sum is good and even a traditional fried rice is light and flavorful. One of the best in SFO.

Beautiful Quality!
I've had mine for a few years now and it still smells the way it did when I first pulled it out of the box. The cognac color has darkened over time to a deep mahogany. There are yet to be any signs of structural wear; the leather has a few marks from use (adding to the patina), but the waxed edges and stitching are still perfect. I have yet to find another company that produces leather products of this quality and finish (Alberto Bellucci is close, but not quite there yet). Customer for life with a few other items on order : )

I gave this to my fiance for his birthday, he loves it. I loved the rich color, the supple leather and compartments, especially the removable passcase. Seems to have enough room for all of his credit cards, etc. The monogram really added a special touch. Still looks great!
October 9, 2013
A well made wallet with a very rich cognac color. There's a enough room for all your cards so you don't have to worry about an unsightly wallet bulge in your back pocket. This is my second Bosca wallet. The first one lasted for years.

Amino acids are a vital ingredient in the muscle-building process and hence are the friend of all athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Proteins are a common source of amino acids but it is also possible to buy specifically targeted amino acid supplements to help get better results from your workout.
Amino acid supplements serve to sustain energy levels during your workout, help to promote muscle growth and help the muscle recovery and rebuilding process after the workout. Which supplements you choose will be determined by your personal fitness goals.
Of the amino acid supplements available, creatine is one of the most effective for the maintenance of energy levels during an intense workout. This means that you will be able to work harder for a longer period of time. Other amino acids, such as leucine and valine, help to promote muscle growth while branched chain amino acids help prevent muscle degradation and promote repair.
These supplements come in tablet and capsule form for ease of ingestion. You should be aware, however, that the heat and pressure used in the tablet manufacturing process may destroy the amino acids so capsules are recommended.
So, to ensure that you get the best results from your training programme don't forget to include some amino acid supplements in your dietary regime.

Public Invited to a Showcase of Graduate Students' Talents June 1 at the Clark
For Immediate Release
May 10, 2007
The Graduate Program in the History of Art, sponsored jointly by Williams College and the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, will present the TwelfthAnnual Spring Symposium on Friday, June 1. Members of the M.A. class of 2007 will present papers on a wide variety of topics, ranging in time from the 10th to the 21st century, and in media from manuscript illumination to Minimalist sculpture to the writing of art history. This day-long free symposium will begin at 9 am at the Clark, and the public is invited to attend.
Degree candidates and their topics are: Nadia Baadj - the still-life portraits of Charles I by Hendrick Andriessen; Laura Fried - Robert Morris's mirrored cubes and film; Darci Hanna - Daniela Rossell's Ricas y famosas; Allison Harding - Hollis Frampton's The Secret World of Frank Stella; Aimee Hirz - Fiona Tan's Countenance; Katherine Hover-Smoot - narrative strategies in the writing of Aby Warburg and Walter Benjamin; Sarah Linford - economic analysis and Robert Rauschenberg's ROCI Project; Joshua O'Driscoll - the reading of images in the 10th-century St. Gereon Sacramentary; Emily Torbert - John Singer Sargent's Woman in Furs; Yao Wu - the Pietà motif in works of Pang Xunqin and Wang Guangyi; and Kori Yee Litt - strategies of spatial construction in Fra Angelico's Last Judgment. The Sargent painting studied by Torbert will be on view in the Clark galleries.
ymposium papers are developed from the longer Qualifying Papers that each student writes during the second-year Winter Study period, this essay being a revision and refinement of work presented earlier during one of the student's first three semesters. What makes the symposium the most fitting conclusion to the two-year course of study is the element of public scholarly performance. Each graduating student delivers a highly polished, clear, and enlightening talk.
The Graduate Program is one of the United States' foremost master's programs in art history. One of only three jointly sponsored programs in the country and among the premier art education programs in the world, it has produced over 350 graduates who have taken their place as leaders in the art and academic fields. The Clark and Williams work symbiotically, offering their professional staffs, libraries, and art collections to the students as invaluable resources. Program professors are drawn from both institutions, and the program is housed at the Clark. The Clark's extensive research facilities, such as the library, support the original academic scholarship conducted by the students.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, MA. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August). Admission is free November through May. Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

At this point you might be wondering, like the disciples did in Matthew 19:10, "If this is the case, maybe it's better not to marry."
That is an important decision. Depending on the severity of the red flag, a friend may be able to address them while remaining in the relationship. And not every red flag mentioned here is of equal importance. For example, a friend's alcoholism or another friend's tendency to avoid conflict don't necessarily hold the same weight. It's not about looking for the perfect mate; if it were, we would be disqualified ourselves.
Raising a concern in the relationship needs to occur with honesty, humility, and kindness. You might voice qualities about your friend that you do appreciate before sharing your red flag. For example, "I find your kindness and compassion to be great qualities in your life, and I greatly appreciate them. Recently I've been struggling with the amount of time we spend together. I know it's important that we have the opportunity to share time, but I'm feeling suffocated in some ways." The focus is your experience and the behavior itself, not the trait. "You're too dependent," may or may not be accurate, but it's going to be difficult to receive.
It may help to ask your friend to think or pray about it; maybe we're the first person who has ever had the courage to voice the concern and it may take some time for it to register. Your friend may disagree with you, but one's willingness to consider the concern will shed considerable light upon your subsequent decisions.
Remember that you're not there to fix your friend. Several years ago, a psychiatrist named Dr. Negri tried to do that and failed miserably. He "fixed" his younger patient of thirty years and subsequently married her. Their marriage ended in divorce. When asked why it didn't work out, he said that he had forgotten to do therapy on himself.
In some cases, you may be wise to take a step back in the relationship, at least waiting until a situation is addressed before moving forward. Keep in mind that a person can white knuckle a problem at least for a period of time; using sheer determination to change behaviors. That type of change is not likely to last, and may lead you back into deeper problems some time down the road. If a relationship needs to slow down or not move forward, you may need to identify the reason, discuss what steps each may take to address the concern, and agree upon the needed boundaries. Communicate clearly: Is the relationship exclusive at this point or not? Is there freedom to see other people? It will be important for you to know what changes will need to happen in order to move forward.

Tuber? I never even met her!
Too bad we can't get a drum roll when somebody makes these kind of jokes on the internet.
A rim shot, surely, is what is needed?
I'd mash that.
Au Gratin ?
Once you get that crown, it's all gravy from then on. Do the krazy kidz still do mashups?
David Lynch directing Jenna Jameson.
Nah, man, that's just Matthew Barney being Matthew Fucking Barney.
Potatoes is People!
I think this was Sam Mendes' first idea for the Mena Suvari fantasy sequence in _American Beauty_.
The things models have to put up with. Posing naked with a snake, caged like wild animals, or buried in potatoes. At least she's showing enough (a spark of subversion?) to make it clear she's not actually naked under there.
Those actually are some incredible spuds. Just sayin'.
Plus, she looks nicely Native American, which would be an interesting choice for Idaho circa 1935.
"she looks nicely Native American"
Really? Not any Native American I'v ever seen.
I thought that she looks kind of Native American to but there are some European features as well. Maybe one parent was Native American and the other one cracker.
Cracker? Really? That's a pretty racist word.
Yes, especially because the pre-WWII beauty contests usually had a very clearly expressed social agenda. They were often touted as semi-scientific events whereby the racial ideal of womankind could be found. Miss Idaho Potato, whom I personally find very beautiful, is clearly not the type that would be characterised as the "ideal" of the American (White, Protestant, Anglo-Saxon) woman of the time.
As Vance above, I also find the piece of cloth visible very intriguing. Why? Is that a photographer's mistake or is it intentional? Is it subversion or a signal to the religious folks that this woman is not naked? Is it to protect the model from scorn?
Looks more Asian to me. Used to be lots of Chinese and some Japanese up here in the norther Rockies.
Yeah, Doc, I'm getting an Eurasian vibe, she looks like she could be a sister of my mother, who had a similar nose and high cheekbones.
The first story in this pdf link is very interesting.
I'd guess Basque. Lot's of Basque in northern Nevada and Southern Idaho
With those pointed ears, she clearly has some Elf blood in her.
I still remember when Mrs Mal persuaded me that I needed to accompany her to a con, and discovering that Elf ears and Vulcan ears are different things.
Jings, about the only thing you can tell about her from that pic is that she's neither blonde nor Black; and if it's as underexposed as it might be, she could still be blonde. She could even be Black, and passing. But you can't tell from a photo.
Fascinating to see how close to the surface the urge for racial categorisation can be.
"You told me that if I put a potato in my swim trunks it would impress the girls, but it didn't work."
"You're supposed to put the potato in front, idiot!"
Its the Native American equivalent of a cod piece.
So Hitler shows up at the masquerade ball wearing nothing but a hollowed-out spud as a codpiece. Nobody dares to ask him about it until Goering has had enough booze and morphine to not care about the repercussions, and has to know what the Fuehrer is supposed to be. "Why, a dick-tater, of course!"
Ah, to be in the fifth grade again.
that's no fifth grade joke where I grew up — ours was
What do you get when you mix Hitler with a potato — a dick-tater
Her own private Idaho …
Freud might say: "Sometimes a potato is just a spud…"
If the lady is still alive, she'd be in her late 90′s now, and I bet she'd really appreciate the complements that she's getting today.
She's got a nice grip on that
stud spud.

I agree that the officials made mistakes but the bottom line is still that San Diego blew a 14 point lead in only 1 quarter of play. Granted the called penalty extended a Houston drive but if the SD defense could've stopped them on one of the two TD drives, since there was the penalty situation in one, the game also would've turned out differently
VP of officiating: Key penalty in Chargers-Texans game shouldn't have been called
As it turns out, the San Diego Chargers have one more item to add to their Tuesday Agony List. Not only did the Chargers blow a 28-7 third-quarter lead against the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football to lose 31-28, but one crucial penalty that allowed the Texans to extend one of their comeback drives should not have happened.
The play happened with 14:53 left in the game, and the Chargers up 28-14. Texans kicker Randy Bullock booted a 37-yard field goal, but Chargers defensive lineman Cam Thomas was flagged for unnecessary roughness when it was ruled that he instigated contact with Texans long-snapper John Weeks. The NFL's new rule is designed to prevent blatant contact to the head and neck area to defenseless snappers on kicks, a new NFL point of emphasis. The penalty took the ball from the San Diego 19-yard line to the nine-yard line and gave the Texans a new set of downs. Matt Schaub threw a nine-yard touchdown pass to tight end Owen Daniels on the next play, and the comeback continued.
But in an interview with the NFL Network's "Total Access" show on Tuesday. NFL VP of Officiating Dean Blandino revealed that the penalty should not have been called by Scott Green's crew.
"This was not a correct call," Blandino said. "The rule is to protect the snapper on a field goal or extra point from a direct forcible blow to the head or neck area, or with the crown/forehead/hairline parts of the helmet to the body. It was not designed to prohibit any contact with the snapper, which is what happened on this play."
Blandino then walked the viewing audience through the play.
"There's some incidental contact with his left leg to the head/neck area, but that is not a foul. That is legal contact. This should not have been called. It's a judgment call by the umpire, he's looking at that, and in his judgment, he felt that it was enough for a foul. And in our review today, we felt that it was not."
Blandino then showed an clip of a far more obvious example of a play in which a long-snapper was contacted in the head and neck area. And because Green's crew couldn't tell the difference, the Texans were allowed to extend a drive, and came away with seven points when they should have had three.
"The rule is designed to protect the player in that snapping posture," Blandino concluded. "Think of a receiver who's trying to catch a pass. You can't hit him in the head or neck area, you can't hit a defenseless snapper, while he's in that posture, in the head or neck area either."
Yes, the Chargers were at fault for collapsing in the second half, but in a 31-28 game, that four-point swing would have made a difference.
This isn't the first time Blandino has had to publicly correct his officials this week. Referee Bill Leavy's crew made two mistakes on one play in the San Francisco 49ers' 34-28 win over the Green Bay Packers. First, Leavy fudged the ruling on an offsetting dead-ball foul, which gave San Francisco an extra down. Then, the league said that tackle Joe Staley should not have been flagged during an altercation with Green Bay outside linebackers Clay Matthews.
I agree that the officials made mistakes but the bottom line is still that San Diego blew a 14 point lead in only 1 quarter of play. Granted the called penalty extended a Houston drive but if the SD defense could've stopped them on one of the two TD drives, since there was the penalty situation in one, the game also would've turned out differently
Not to mention that fake punt. without the clarity of that rule the chargers laid off the center and basicly gave the first down up.
So the NFL admits the umpire in the San Diego game and the referee in the Niner game blew calls that could have affected the outcome of the games.
The fans would like to know what kind of disciplinary action, if any, the league takes in matters like these.
yes they were given an extra play it should've been 4th and 2, as they were deadball fouls and they were given a mulligan. As for if this changed the game, it may have not as the last 5 drives for the chargers were pathetic and you don't think schaub could've found either daniels or johnson for a game winning touchdown. This the problem with the NFL, they say oh we screwed up but so what and if I'm not mistaken also the year the Saints won the Super Bowl, wasn't Leavy the offical in that game, when he didn't call the Saints a personal foul on the int that Farve threw when he was hit in the knees which is a penalty and the NFL then also said our bad penalty should've been called. I mean you see it every week these officals make a mistake and I'm really getting sick and tired of Lance Easily this guy has been allowed to profit from a bad call, that he knows was bad call but still won't admit it
Just a point of clarification. The 49ers were NOT given an extra play. They were given the opportunity for an extra play. The "extra play" never happened, because they scored on third down and never had/needed the fourth down.
Would they have kicked a field goal instead if they didn't get the down? Who knows? It's possible, maybe even likely, but that's all conjecture. The call was an error, BUT they didn't receive an extra down. Is that significant? Only if you care about reporting the truth of what happened.
didn't impact the outcome of the game Chargers still choked.
It could be worse, they could be the Packers who have been robbed in consecutive seasons on trips to the west coast.
Maybe Boldin should have been ejected then, since he slapped a Packer's defensive back away from the altercation. Or maybe he should bring the knuckles as his p.o.s. coach said.
Unlike the SF GB game, this was definitely a turning point. SD would have won this game.
Another blown officiating call? I thought the strike was over?
Correction -- "in a 31-28 game, that four-point swing MAY have made a difference." -- San Diego would not necessarily have won had the game had the call gone the other way. Houston had the ball and a first down at the Charger's 24-yard line with roughly a minute left. At that point, they got conservative and ran the clock down, knowing they needed only a chip-shot field goal to win the game. Had they needed a TD, given the way they had been driving up until that point, it certainly is possible that they could have scored a game-winning TD.
Don't see why they don't have an in booth type reviewer to make sure that rules are enforced properly. Clearly this is not a a judgement call situation, but ignorance of the rules. I was kinda hoping the Chargers would implode, but fair is fair.
I'd love to hear Blandino explain why Clay Matthews was not ejected.
@Craig Getting TWO third downs is, indeed, getting an extra play, Craig. They had the security of fourth down, twice.
Unless you're saying they'd have called the same play they called on their second third down attempt, on fourth down...which is preposterous...they got an extra attempt to score a touchdown.
@MorphySmith The Bolts need no help from poor officiating to lose games, that is for sure. Still, that was a TERRIBLE call, and resulted in Houston scoring a touchdown, instead of surely going for three. It's THOSE kinds of calls which ought to be reviewable!
This Broncos fan didn't mind the result, although the West is terrible, save one team, so I say this objectively. The Chargers got boned.
@MichaelMaxsonSr. Baby Pack Man, you were only robbed LAST year on your FIRST WC trip. You simply got your butt kicked the last two times on the Left Coast.
@MichaelMaxsonSr. Certainly got robbed last year but I'm not feeling too bad after seeing what Matthews did. As bad a cheap shot as you can get. The SF penalty was not bad at all and shouldn't have been called. With that said, it was called and the refs got the rule wrong. It "possibly" cost the Packers but it wasn't as blatant as last year. It cost the Packers 4 points but they still lost by 6, so it wasn't a sure win by any means.
@MichaelMaxsonSr. Pathetic packers fans, this is why the rest of the nfl laughs at you idiots. It's not just because you wear cheese on your heads.
@MichaelMaxsonSr. The Leavy mistake was very unfortunate, but I don't see how your takeaway from the article can be that the Packers were "robbed." After all, Blandino admitted that there shouldn't have been offsetting penalties in the first place since the Staley call was incorrect.
@beckermike929 look, a butthurt packers fan
Richard, be for real! The reason is....When little boy Phillip Rivers has confidence he actually performs like an elite QB....We all saw that untill he got slapped in the face with that pick 6! And that was the end of his confidence as well as the guaranteed demise of his choker team! I do agree it was a terible call though....
Chargers CHOKED.
@Richard--Ramirez You didn't watch the game. SD lost their fight at 28-14. Go back and watch the tape again.
@shmellon Or the Chargers may have scored after getting the ball back after Houston's field goal. A solid momentum booster after stopping their touchdown drive.
@MrTeebs Not a packers fan...but if you tossed every player for late hits then you would need to expand the rosters by another 4 or 5 players just for the late hit ejections.
@Mike26 @MichaelMaxsonSr. You are right. The blown call would not have changed the score but, it may have changed the momentum. I like the 49ers and the coach is from my alma mater. I saw him play. He was and is good.
@x72 @beckermike929 what make you think that just a football fan here. Another wastful project hiding behind a keyboard.
The Chargers may have scored after Houston's field goal? Maybe--but considering the last time the Chargers made a first down was ten minutes into the third quarter (meaning that the Chargers couldn't convert on third down for the last third of the game), that certainly wouldn't be the way to bet.......
@Mike26 @Fifilo , yeah it was a judgement call that was wrong. Somehow this ref didn't understand the difference between contact and attempted injury. Send that ref back to the NFL Training camp for poor calls. The NFL head of officating says that it was a bad call. Not an inbetween judgement call. He spent time showing the difference between the two calls that could be made in this situation. The Texans left with a victory that didn't belong to them. It is my hope that the law of averages has impact on the Texans down the road in 2013-14.
@JamesMartens I believe @MrTeebs is referring to the fact that Matthews threw at least a punch and slap into Joe Staley's face, he should have been ejected for that, not the stupid penalty. During the SEA-CAR game, an undrafted DE got ejected just for pushing somebody in the face.
@JamesMartens @MrTeebs James, it's clear you're 100% clueless to the ejection issue with Matthews so why not just skip your commentary on the subject. Heard there's a good golf article on the main page - maybe you could give Tiger some advice?
mike26 you are clearly biased against the chargers for some reason. no reason for you to attempt to correct those that understand the difference between a field goal and a touchdown. and you obviously don't know what momentum is. you must be a raiders fan.
@gyffes Another "Brainiac" that clearly didn't understand the scenario that warranted the ejection.
THIS is an insightful reply that will clarify the issue for JamesMartens (and anyone else).
reply indicates he spends too much time in his mom's basement and he
needs to be kept off teh interwebz 'til he learns how to control himself.
@AntonyJones @JamesMartens @MrTeebs They keep them in the games so they can rack up $100,000 fines. The NFL thinks that makes them look good.

The head and neck cancer clinic at the Duke Cancer Institute brings together a multidisciplinary team of experienced cancer specialists and support staff to provide comprehensive, compassionate care for patients battling cancers of the mouth, salivary glands, nasal cavity, sinuses, throat, larynx, and neck lymph nodes.
Located within one of the world's premier academic medical centers, the head and neck cancer clinic uses the vast resources of the Duke Cancer Institute to employ the most innovative treatments.
Duke's head and neck physicians are internationally recognized experts in the field who make head and neck cancer care their primary career focus. Duke physician-researchers are at the forefront of developing innovations that are now the standard of care for treatment of head and neck cancer.
Specialists in the fields of surgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, radiology, and pathology meet weekly to jointly examine each patient and map the most effective course of treatment for each individual.
As part of a leading academic medical center, the Duke Cancer Institute offers patients access to many clinical trials investigating new therapies for the treatment of head and neck cancers.
The goal of the program is to ensure that each patient receives state-of-the-art treatment while maintaining the highest quality of life at all times. This includes rehabilitation, such as physical and speech/swallow therapy and nutritional support.
Our program offers a multidisciplinary approach to treating cancers of the head and neck, starting with the most sophisticated diagnostic tools available.
Many head and neck cancers can effectively be treated with surgery. The surgeons at the Duke Cancer Institute are some of the best in the field.

Basculin's primary advantage over other Water-types in the tier comes from its useful ability, Adaptability. Because of its ability, Basculin's Water-type moves are noticeably stronger than those of other physically attacking Water-types in the tier, such as Samurott, Carracosta, and Floatzel. In addition to this, Basculin is fairly fast, and the ability to outspeed Jynx, as well as many other dangerous offensive Pokemon such as Sawk, is a valuable asset. Despite this offensive advantage, Basculin can be relatively easy to wall with the correct Pokemon due to its heavy dependency on its STAB moves. The aforementioned Water-types also have wider movepools than Basculin, giving them an advantage in coverage, and a few also have setup options. Overall, if you need a physically attacking Water-type, consider Basculin, but be sure to utilize its niche well.
The best way to use Basculin is by using a simple Choice Band set. However, prediction is necessary to make this set work—there are many Pokemon that can absorb Water-type moves in NU, including Jynx and Seismitoad, and allowing them to freely switch in could result in them using the opportunity to set up. As a result, Pokemon such as these must be dealt with via coverage moves or with other Pokemon before Basculin can freely use its STAB moves. Waterfall is its main STAB option; because it's powered up by Adaptability, it hits fairly hard. Basculin's Aqua Jet is the strongest in the tier thanks to Adaptability, and because of this, it is powerful enough to 2HKO frailer foes, such as Primeape and even Scolipede, which discourages them from switching in to revenge kill it. Double-Edge allows Basculin to get nearly perfect coverage, hitting every Pokemon in NU bar Cradily, Shedinja, and NFEs for at least neutral damage. Furthermore, it is powerful enough to 2HKO Pokemon that absorb Water-type moves, such as non-physically defensive Seismitoad and Mantine, while easily OHKOing Jynx. Superpower is mostly filler, but its high Base Power allows it to inflict massive damage to certain foes weak to the move, including Miltank, Lickilicky, Carracosta, and Cradily.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Basculin's rather pitiful movepool leaves it with few other options. Basculin has Mold Breaker, which can be useful because it can outspeed and OHKO most Stealth Rock leads, such as Golem, with its STAB, but it is otherwise inferior to Adaptability. Ice Beam can be used to surprise Tangela and Dragon-types, but its usage stops there. Taunt can be used to nearly shut down Alomomola, but this turns into a stalemate without Toxic, as Basculin has no prayer of actually defeating Alomomola directly. Crunch is Basculin's only way to hit Frillish, but it is rare enough to practically ignore. Basculin has access to Agility, but Floatzel's access to Swift Swim makes it a better Pokemon at boosting its Speed. An Expert Belt can be used to bluff a Choice set to surprise Pokemon, notably Frillish with Crunch, when they expect a free switch, but neutral targets are hit for relatively little damage in this case. Expert Belt also has the advantage of being able to surprise most Stealth Rock leads with a combination of Waterfall and Aqua Jet, preventing them from activating their Custap Berries, which is important if you don't want to use Mold Breaker. Finally, Final Gambit is an interesting option to take down just about anything, but it is extremely risky since Basculin will faint afterwards, and its HP isn't very high without investment. It also wastes Basculin's potential to clean up late-game.
Checks and Counters
Frillish is the definition of a counter for the Choice Band set, as it is immune to everything listed on the set, only fearing the rare Crunch. Aside from that, Alomomola does extremely well against Basculin, taking little damage from all of its moves and allowing it to stall out Basculin. Tangela also takes little damage from Basculin's moves and can easily dispatch it with a Giga Drain. Other Grass-types can also switch into Basculin's STAB moves easily; specific examples are Leafeon, thanks to its massive Defense stat, and Serperior, which can set up on it. Dragon-types, such as Fraxure and Shelgon, also resist Water, and their bulk can be further augmented by an Eviolite, allowing them to set up Dragon Dance against Basculin. Although Seismitoad, Ludicolo, and Jynx risk getting 2HKOed (or in Jynx's case, OHKOed) by a coverage move, their ability to absorb to Water-type attacks (or in Ludicolo's case, its 4x resistance) allow them to switch into Basculin's STAB move, forcing it to switch out. Finally, many Pokemon can revenge kill it, including Electabuzz, Choice Scarf Rotom-S, and Choice Scarf Jynx, but note that many revenge killers take a surprising amount of damage from Aqua Jet and can't switch into a Waterfall.

Some health insurance reform opponents are arguing that we can't afford health insurance reform under America's Affordable Health Choices Act--in the face of a growing deficit. To the contrary, the single most important thing we can do to improve the long-term fiscal health of our nation is slow the growth rate in health care costs. As President Obama's budget director Peter Orszag has said: "The path of fiscal responsibility must run directly through health care."
While putting in place the economic policies of President George W. Bush that led to record deficits without strengthening the foundation for the American economy, Congressional Republicans suddenly appear concerned about the deficit. They don't have a health care reform bill.
Myth: The House bill will increase the deficit and we can't afford it right now.
Fact: Health reform will not increase the deficit. On July 17, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirmed that the House bill will be fully paid for. CBO estimated that the cost of the bill's reforms was $1.042 trillion over 10 years, while the bill's cost savings and revenues totaled $1.048 trillion. Since then, amendments to the bill have trimmed the cost even more.
The reforms will be fully paid for through a combination of almost $500 billion in net Medicare and Medicaid reforms, cutting wasteful spending that diverts care from seniors and excessive profits that private insurance companies are making at the expense of most Medicare recipients--and over $500 billion in revenue raised through a tax surcharge on the wealthiest 1.2%. These reforms will provide affordable coverage to 97% of Americans - while half of the remaining 3 percent without insurance will have access to Medicaid coverage. They will also reform our private insurance system to lower costs for all Americans and improve their coverage. [Find More Facts Here]
The cost of reform does not include funding the Sustainable Growth Rate fix for Medicare doctors' reimbursement rates. That policy was entered into by a previous Congress, controlled by Republicans, in 1997--so it's not new ongoing spending subject to pay-as-you-go rules, like the health insurance reform effort is. For eight years, the Republican-controlled Congress did nothing to provide a funding source for these payments--so it's another budget headache the GOP left behind.
But most importantly, we cannot reduce the deficit without getting health care costs under control. The House bill will lower health care costs over the long-term, and according to a Council of Economic Advisors report, if we direct those savings to deficit reduction, we see big payoffs:
"The size of our economy, our GDP, could be more than 2 percent higher in 2020 than it would have been without reform and almost 8 percent higher in 2030. The real income of the typical family of four could be $2,600 higher in 2020 than it otherwise would have been and $10,000 higher in 2030. And, the government budget deficit could be reduced by 3 percent of GDP relative to the no-reform baseline in 2030." [Find More Facts Here]

Guess which senator asked Apple the smartest questions?May 22, 2013: 1:13 PM ET
To the surprise of many, it was the Tea Party candidate from Wisconsin.
FORTUNE -- Sen. Ron Johnson -- not to be confused with the Ron Johnson who created the Genius Bar -- gets a lot of heat from liberals in his home state for his positions on abortion (he's against it), same sex marriage (ditto), global warming (caused by sun spots) and the Violence Against Women Act (unconstitutional).
There's even a Tumblr page where Johnson's constituents can explore his views on everything from gun control to social security.
It's called Our Dumb Senator.
But at the Senate subcommittee hearing on Apple's (AAPL) taxes Tuesday, the Tea Party candidate from Wisconsin was anything but dumb. In fact, he asked smarter questions that elicited more information about Apple's operations than all the other senators combined. (See C-Span clip below.)
It helped, perhaps, that his background is in business (accountant, night-school MBA program, CEO of a plastics manufacturer) not law or politics.
But if he'd been a little more probing and little less pro-business, he might not have missed an opening as big as Irish loophole. He was quizzing Phillip Bullock, Apple's chief tax guy, about the Internal Revenue Service:
Johnson: "My guess is you have full-time IRS agents stationed in your operation basically doing a full-time audit nonstop, is that pretty accurate?"
Bullock: "That's correct..."
Johnson: "And they're looking at all this corporate structure, they're looking at all the transfer prices, and they're basically giving you the nod and saying you're following tax law?"
Bullock: "They look at it in detail, yes."
Johnson: "OK."
Wait a minute! The IRS hardly gave Apple "the nod." A follow-up question might have elicited the fact (spelled out in the company's annual report) that Apple is in an ongoing battle with the IRS over "certain undistributed foreign earnings" -- the very issue at the heart of the hearings.
Apple's Form 10-K for fiscal 2012 goes on to say:
"The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has completed its field audit of the Company's federal income tax returns for the years 2004 through 2006 and proposed certain adjustments. The Company has contested certain of these adjustments through the IRS Appeals Office. The IRS is currently examining the years 2007 through 2009. All IRS audit issues for years prior to 2004 have been resolved. In addition, the Company is subject to audits by state, local, and foreign tax authorities. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations. However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty."
Sen. Johnson's portion of the Apple hearings:

Classroom Helpers Lesson Plan
Material List
- Creatology™ 12 pack Plastic Buttons
- Drawing or writing paper
- Literature selections of your choice
Project Instructions
Grades: 1-3
Lesson Duration: 2-4 Days
Subjects: Social Studies
-Recognize and show how when individuals share responsibilities, group goals are more easily accomplished
-Demonstrate accountability for actions, pride in personal accomplishments, self-direction
-Demonstrate personal accountability
-Explain how individuals make the community a better place by solving problems in a way that promotes the common good
Common Core State Standards:
Essential Question(s):
- What jobs or responsibilities need done to help keep our classroom safe and running smoothly?
- Which of these jobs are the most essential?
- Which of these jobs are jobs we, as students, can do by ourselves?
- What does it mean to do a job well?
- How does it affect others when someone does or doesn't do a job well?
- Students will recognize how working together to accomplish responsibilities and or jobs makes it easier to accomplish tasks.
- Students will identify and explain classroom jobs that need done to make the classroom run efficiently and safely.
- Students will perform jobs that will help keep their classroom safe and running efficiently.
- Creatology™ 12 pack Plastic Buttons
- Drawing paper, cut into circle shapes to fit button size (many buttons come with a factory label in each button that can be simply flipped over. The back, white side, can be used)
- Literature selections of your choice
- Appendix A, Job descriptions
- Appendix B, List of class jobs
Purchase enough buttons for each child in the class. Prepare paper circles as needed that will go inside the students' buttons. You may wish to choose a literature selection to read aloud to your class pertaining to classroom jobs, working together, sharing responsibilities etc..
Lesson One
Step 1:
If you have selected one, read your literature selection to your students. Get them moving! Play- If You Have…. To play the game, ask students to stand in four corners of the room. Begin to ask questions with a direction like; If you have ever washed dishes move to corner one, if you have ever fed your pet move to corner two, etc… Students may wish to give ideas for questions centered around responsibilities or jobs typically done around their homes.
Discuss how just like at home there are many jobs that need done at school. Some jobs are "teacher jobs" but many responsibilities the students could handle!
Discuss the significance of naming responsibilities and assigning helpers to them.
Together, ask students to help make a list of jobs/responsibilities that will need done in the classroom. Go through the finished list and have the students help identify which jobs are jobs for an adult and which jobs students could do. If there are many student jobs listed, ask students to help identify the most essential jobs on the list. (You can direct them to a certain number of jobs- as you many not want 22 helpers per week )
Step 2:
Explain to the students that those jobs will be posted and the students will take turns having the responsibility of all of those listed jobs throughout the school year.
Guide the students in designing their own badge with their name or have students design different class job buttons (both shown). Have a parent helper assemble the badges with designs inside.
The helpers of the week will wear special badges (buttons) when it is their turn to help. With a little guidance students will learn how to pin their badges on in no time.
Lesson Two
Title each job and go over the responsibilities for each one. Incorporate writing by having students write job descriptions (Appendix A) for each job. Appendix A has some suggested categories to include on a job description. There are lots of opportunities to incorporate vocabulary words to discuss on the job description! Students can refer to the job descriptions when they are assigned a new job to ensure they know the responsibilities and requirements of that job.
Lesson Three
Discuss the significance of a job well done and what it means to do a job well. Challenge students to think about what happens when someone fails to do his/her job.
Wrap It Up
Each week, rotate students through agreed upon jobs. Students who have an assigned job get to wear their special badge that they created. Post job descriptions for all to see.
Appendix A:
Categories to include in job description
- Job
- Reports to
- Job Summanry
- Essential Functions
- Additional Responsibilites
- Job Qualifications
- Essential Functions
Appendix B:

Object Storage (Swift), and Block Storage (Cinder) can be configured separately via the Rackspace Private Cloud Software cookbooks.
Rackspace Private Cloud is an OpenStack configuration that has been developed, tested, and packaged by Rackspace OpenStack specialists. We've developed an OpenStack offering that is easy to install, with a configuration that comes from our expertise in developing OpenStack clouds for our customers.
You can deploy a Rackspace Private Cloud in your own data center or in a Rackspace-managed data center. It's suitable for all scenarios, ranging from initial evaluations to production deployments.
Rackspace Private Cloud is free, and so is access to the Rackspace Private Cloud user forum. For information about pricing for Escalation Support and Rackspace hosting of your cloud, email us at email@example.com.
Rackspace Private Cloud is suitable for anyone who wants to install a stable, tested, and supportable OpenStack private cloud.
Great! You should contact us at email@example.com.
If your cloud is hosted at a Rackspace data center, we'll manage the hardware and the network infrastructure. However, we won't administer your cloud or its contents—just the equipment that it's hosted on.
If your cloud is hosted in your own data center, supporting your hardware and infrastructure will be your responsibility too.
No. Escalation Support only covers the configuration and components that are installed by Rackspace Private Cloud Software. Any OpenStack customizations and configuration that you apply beyond the out-of-the-box configuration are not covered by Escalation Support. More information is available at the Rackspace Private Cloud web page.

If you need more than 20 nodes, contact us at email@example.com; we'd be glad to help you scale your cloud.
Rackspace recommends a minimum of three nodes: one Chef server, one Controller, and one Compute. A fourth node may be required for Quantum. This installation method has been tested for up to up to 20 nodes.
The Rackspace Private Cloud Software OpenCenter framework does not allow you to build an all-in-one node, but you can use the ISO to do so. Rackspace recommends that you install an all-in-one node for testing purposes only.
No. The only way we can access your cloud is if you are an Escalation Support customer and have provided us with credentials for troubleshooting.
No. The install script does not send any information to Rackspace. The only information we get from you is the information you enter on the product download page.
Rackspace Private Cloud Software downloads Ubuntu installation files as part of the installation process to ensure that you have the most up-to-date operating system that works with our software. If the node doesn't have internet access, the installation process will fail. You may also experience issues if the node is behind a firewall.
Rackspace Private Cloud v. 4.0 does not install any operating system. It is offered in Debian and RPM packages, and can be installed on Ubuntu 12.04 or CentOS 6.3. It has not been tested on versions of Ubuntu greater than 12.04 or on RHEL.
Rackspace strongly recommends that you install Rackspace Private Cloud on physical hardware nodes running Ubuntu 12.04 or CentOS 6.3. Installation on virtual platforms should only be performed for evaluation purposes.
The Chef server hardware should meet the following requirements:
Rackspace recommends the following minimum requirements for a Controller node and a Compute node.
CPU overcommit is set at 16:1 VCPUs to cores, and memory overcommit is set to 1.5:1. Each physical core can support up to 16 virtual cores; for example, one dual-core processor can support up to 32 virtual cores. If you require more virtual cores, adjust your sizing appropriately.
When a new version of Rackspace Private Cloud is ready, upgrade information will be made available.
There is no method for a direct upgrade from a v 1.0 cluster or v 2.0 cluster to a v 3.0 or v 4.0 cluster; instead, you will have to create a new cluster with OpenCenter. If you want Rackspace assistance in managing and migrating backup images to a v 3.0 cluster, please email us at email@example.com.
When a patch or fix is available, updated packages will be available along with documentation for downloading it and applying it. If you have Escalation or Core Support, we can work with you to help you apply the patch.
(Note that this question only applies to installations performed with the v.2.0 ISO.)
These operating system updates and patches may be safely applied. However, as a best practice in a production environment, Rackspace strongly recommends that you configure a mirror of your production environment in which you apply and test new OS patches and updates before applying them in production.

Amazing, that's all I an say about it.
Amazing, that's all I an say about it.
How cool!
...................Since the story of 8-year old cancer survivor Adam Bender was published in the Lexington Herald-Leader, and on www.kentucky.com, on June 1, 2008, the one-legged catcher has been invited to throw out first pitches at a Chicago White Sox game, a Cincinnati Reds game, a Houston Astros game, and has been invited to a Garth Brooks benefit in Las Vegas. He is also being profiled for a story that will air on ESPN. On Sunday June 6, 2008, Adam threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Adam Dunn of the Reds. Because of cancer, Adam Bender had his left leg amputated when he was one but that hasnt stopped him from playing baseball for the Astros in the Southeastern Rookie League at Veterans Park.
Hot damm! Thats one cool kid.
I would buy that boy a beer! (a root beer)
Good God that makes you proud that there are people out there like this in America.
Reminds me of Jim Abbot. That guy was awsome too.
He gave me hope to go on another day. Let me clear the tears and go attack a me me me me liberal.
Kinda pisses me off when I see a kid doing this, and then I see all these able bodied adults getting disability checks.
I dont like this kid. I was a catcher all throught my high school baseball career and he looks better than I did. Damn show off. :mad:
Awesome kid.
I get disability checks cause they won't let me work.

A Presentation by Susanne Boom
A presentation by Susanne Boom
One of the important goals of the Dutch WASH Alliance is providing clean water and keeping it clean in order to prevent diseases. What is the most effective way to achieve that goal in an ecologically sustainable manner? This factsheet contains a number of suggestions and practical examples. Projects can focus on preventing sewage from coming into contact with drinking water, but they can also focus on reusing nutrients from that same sewage.
How can you store large amounts of clean water that would otherwise be lost via runoff ? And how can you access that water when it is needed? The answers to these questions diff er for each area or watershed. The Dutch WASH Alliance therefore works to find the most sustainable, suitable and context-specific solutions. The goal is to provide people with enough clean water, in a way that benefits both them and their natural environment. The '3R' approach plays a vital role in realising this goal.

After back-to-back tough road games Charlottesville returned home Friday seeking their first win of the young season. Visiting Culpeper (0-3) was no match for the Black Knights (1-3), who got in the win column with a 47-28 victory.
Charlottesville rolled to a 40-7 lead midway through the 3rd quarter thanks in large part to the stellar play of quarterback Rashard Davis. The senior signal-caller finished the game 5/8 passing for 122 yards and 2 scores. He added another 195 yards and 4 touchdowns on just 9 carries.
Following the big win, 2nd year head coach Eric Sherry stopped by the Friday Night Endzone studio to reflect on the victory and discuss next week's big matchup with visiting Liberty-Bealeton.

hey everyone i was wondering if you had a hole day to spend with pat scott and jimmy and you could go anywhere and do anything you want with them where would you go and what would you do ?
Views: 458
that is a great way to spend the day with them em:) ..... yeh as long as it's with train i would be happy and it will be so amazing =D
Em:), couldn't have said it better myself, wouldn't matter what we did as long as we were together. But definitely spend some quiet time hanging out together, they for sure get enough crazy. I would definitely want a private concert session for sure! ;)
I would definitely try and get to know them better, so I could see them as more than just my favorite band. :)
If I could go anywhere I would like to go to Ireland and would like to video them playing traditional Irish music with a band that plays Celtic music. And the only instruments played would be the fiddle, the mandolin, the lute and the dulcimer and maybe a drum. And when they weren't playing it would be so cool to video them doing some traditional Irish dancing. And I would like to interview them and find out besides music as individuals what issues energize them. What would be really cool is to video them coming out of a mist situated by a forest and singing a song that spoke to some environmental issue.
I play piano so I would definitely want to jam with them! Making music is one of life's greatest pleasures, and it's fun to accompany!
Days ago my twins asked me the same question and they answered themselves laughing: "For sure, mom will invite them home, she will cook pizza from scratch (by the way, my specialty ....) with Italian and Argentine wines (I read that Jimmy loves to get wines from different places as a gift). Dessert: tiramisu (the best!!)" haha! I totally agree with my boys!!! They know me very well...
But, although I die for their music, I wish them to feel relaxed, confortable, having a good time, talking about everything but work. Perhaps we could end the day drinking margaritas in a bar at Laguna Beach, close to the sea here in Orange County.I've always thought that their lives must be a little bit crazy, so I would like to offer them a peaceful day somehow.
They are constantly giving me joy with what they do, this would be my gift for them...
A pic nic on the beach, tunes on the stereo, a little Napa Valley vino, campfire at dusk, Pat, Scott & Jimmy! WOW, can't imagine, what a dream!!!
If I had a whole day to spend with them, I would just want to chill and talk. There is so much that more that I want to know about all three of them. We could talk about their families and what kind of childhood they had. They are my rock stars, but I would like to get to know them as just the men they are. What they have shared of themselves in their interviews or some of their silly videos does tell us a lot, but I still want more. Really, I would enjoy their wives and kids to join in too. That would be really nice. Pat is married and I am older so yeah, that is what I would want to do.
first came a temtation of listening their music for whole of the day came to my mind (LOL that would be sth) but this vibe - i hope - i can experience during the tour. and what is much better i could experience it with you my soul sisters :). sooo here is what i would like to do: i would pack our backpacks and take Pat, Scott and Jimmy for a little trip to the mountains. why? because the best way to get to know each other is to march. admiring the view that opens in front of you each step you climb up. sometimes tough and heavy - you have to lean on each other. when resting nothing tastes better that chat with friends and a drink of water. and this is what i wish to do - get to know them as they are on each and every day.
I'd totally exploit them. Make them do a concert for my friends. KIDDING. Man o man, I'm such a kidder. I would tell Pat and Scott to go up the mountain with Beatrice so that I'd have Jimmy all to myself. Kidding again? Hmmmmm........
Jimmyfan - i am afraid i couldn't miss Jimmy on that trip. 3 of them are crucial ,sorry ;)
but how about going all together - feel invited :) at the end of the trip, in a mountain cottage we could all sit by the fire and drink wine and listen to Train music. who else wants to join this adventure? every body is mostly invited :)
Beatrice, you are TOO much : ) Ok Ok we'll all go up the mountain. Should be a blast!

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi took to the House floor today to honor the leadership, work, and public service of former Congressman Bill Gray. Below are the Leader's remarks:
"Thank you very much. I thank the gentleman from Philadelphia for yielding and for giving us this opportunity to sing the praises of a great man, Chairman Bill Gray, Democratic Whip Bill Gray. Mr. Speaker, I had the privilege of, just a few weeks ago, of receiving a call from Bill Gray. And I said – oh it was just out of the blue – just wanted to know how my family was doing, challenging my husband to tennis as always: 'Oh is he ready to get beaten by me,' and this or that. And just, he said: 'I just want to know how things are?' And yeah – and he asked me how things were going here and the rest. Just call a friendship. And it was just so remarkable to me that about two weeks later, we had the word – he told me he was going to Wimbledon, he was taking his sons to Wimbledon, he was going to go; loved tennis. And then when we got the word, it was just strange and I felt that God had really truly blessed me because I had that opportunity to speak with him just out of the blue and within a matter of weeks before his passing.
"I did have the privilege of serving with him, where as I look around and see these much younger Members, maybe they didn't all serve with him, but they knew of his great leadership for our country. Anybody who did serve with him, or knew of the leadership of Bill Gray, knew that he was, in a word, a giant. A giant of Philadelphia, a giant of the Congress, and giant of our country. He was a leader and a trailblazer. A proud Representative of Philadelphia, he just loved his district, a man who left his mark on the history of his city.
"His name in Congress was an extension – his time in Congress was an extension of his family business, public service, acts – serving the community, acting on the values of the state, giving back to his neighbors and the less fortunate. Others have spoken about how he made this choice. This is the man who could have done anything in life. He had the talent, he had the stamina, he had the energy, and the values and the rest. He could have been, he would have, he was a success at anything he strove to do. But he chose the path that his family laid out for him: ministering to the needs of the people.
"In the House of Representatives, Congressman Gray will forever stand as a Member – as a first: he's the first African American to serve as the Chair of the Budget Committee, a very big deal. [He's] the first African American to serve as a Majority Whip in the House. He sounded the alarm, not only about the injustices of apartheid in South Africa, but about what America and Congress could do to end it. He broadened the reach of his public service beyond Congress helping send more young people to college as President and CEO of the United Negro College Fund – and how excited he was about that. He did everything with gusto, whether it was serving as a Member, as a Chairman, as the Whip, and then to have his values be the focus of his work at the United Negro College Fund.
"To serve alongside Bill Gray, I am sure all of my colleagues will attest, was to be inspired by his passion and his commitment, by his focus on the future and by his belief in the common good. It was an honor and privilege to know him as a colleague, a special privilege for any of us who had that privilege to call him friend. We only hope it is a comfort to his wife Andrea, whom he adored. I hope it is a comfort to Andrea and to William IV, to Justin, and to Andrew that so many people mourn their loss, are praying for them at this sad time.
"And well, he went doing what he enjoyed, at Wimbledon all of – watching Wimbledon all weekend, all I could think of was Bill Gray being there. So many people loved him, so many people share the grief of the Gray family. All I could say is that knowing him over all of these years, he lived life to the fullest, and though he left us too soon, the – what he packed into his years of life and service and leadership was something so remarkable, so remarkable.
"So, that's why I thank the gentleman for recognizing Bill Gray, giving us the opportunity to do so on the floor and to do so with all the admiration and affection that you have brought to this meeting this evening and all of the voices of our colleagues. I'm sure we'll be saying more and more about Bill Gray. He wasn't into titles, he liked having the titles, but he liked the friendship of being called Bill Gray. And with that Mr. Chairman, I yield back my time. Thank you."
