Lewis (Scottish Gaelic: Leòdhas, pronounced [ʎɔː.əs̪], also Isle of Lewis) is the northern part of Lewis and Harris, the largest island of the Western Isles or Outer Hebrides (an archipelago) of Scotland. The total area of Lewis is 683 square miles (1,770 km2).

Lewis is, in general, the lower lying part of the island, with the other part, Harris, being more mountainous. The flatter, more fertile land means Lewis contains the largest settlement, Stornoway, and three-quarters of the population of the Western Isles. Beyond human habitation, the island's diverse habitats are home to an assortment of flora and fauna, such as the golden eagle, red deer and seals and are recognised in a number of conservation areas.

Lewis is of Presbyterian tradition with a rich history, having once been part of the Norse Kingdom of Mann and the Isles. Today, life is very different from elsewhere in Scotland with Sabbath observance, the Gaelic language and peat cutting retaining more importance than elsewhere. Lewis has a rich cultural heritage as can be seen from its myths and legends as well as the local literary and musical traditions.

Lewis (satellite)

Lewis was an American satellite which was to have been operated by NASA as part of the Small Satellite Technology Initiative. It carried two experimental Earth imaging instruments, and an ultraviolet astronomy payload. Due to a design flaw it failed within three days of reaching orbit, before it became operational.

Lewis was a 288 kilograms (635 lb) spacecraft, which was designed to operate for between one and three years. It was built by TRW under a contract which was signed on 11 July 1994. Its primary instruments were the Hyperspectral Imager, the Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array and the Ultraviolet Cosmic Background experiment. A number of technology demonstration payloads were also flown.

Launch

Lewis was launched by a LMLV-1 (Athena I) rocket flying from Space Launch Complex 6 at the Vandenberg Air Force Base. The launch was originally scheduled to take place in September 1996, but it was delayed due to technical problems affecting the rocket. Launch finally occurred at 06:51:01 GMT on 23 August 1997, and Lewis was successfully placed into a parking orbit with an apogee of 134 kilometres (83 mi), a perigee of 124 kilometres (77 mi), and 97.5 degrees of inclination. Lewis was to have raised itself into a higher orbit, at an altitude of 523 kilometres (325 mi).

M. Lewis (Surrey cricketer)

M. Lewis (dates unknown) was an English amateur cricketer who made two appearances in first-class cricket matches during the 1773 season.

Career

He was associated with Surrey.

    The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

    by: Lawless

    "Yo you can keep asking them fuckin' questions all fuckin' day man
    I told you what, I told you what the fuck happened man
    Told your partner the same thing man, how long a nigga gotta stay here?
    Raggedy ass precinct"
    There was money on the table with the bricks
    I was in the living room feeling on this bitch
    Heard my car alarm goin' off on my six
    So my dogs start barkin' and some niggas hit the fence
    So I took my dick out this bitch mouth and walked to the window
    Pull the blinds down and took one hit of the Endo
    You niggas ain't doin' shit, but stealin' my neighbors rims so
    Walked back to the couch and told the bitch to bend over
    That's what I'm rolling with
    Nah I ain't saying shit and I ain't snitching on nobody
    Yeah that's my .45, but it ain't got no bodies
    And two dead niggas, them is nobody
    They should've torched 'em, then you wouldn't had no bodies
    I mean look at these pictures, just so sloppy
    Couldn't have been me, I do my shit like John Gotti
    Feed the nigga to the sharks after dark
    Man fuck this shit I thought I told y'all
    There was money on the table by the bricks
    I was at the kitchen table choppin up some shit
    Listenin' to Jeezy and I heard a little
    So I turned the radio down and cocked my 4 fifth, oh shit
    Am I hit? Nah just a hole in my Jordan fitted
    So I turn down all the lights and cock my 4 fifth
    Seen some niggas jump in they Escalade and that was it
    How much longer I gotta stay in this muthafucka?
    Let me get a cigarette, I don't even smoke
    But shit y'all got a nigga stressed
    I gotta stay in this muthafucka until I confess?
    Shit, y'all bitches better get some rest
    'Cause it'll be a cold day in Miami
    Before I snitch on myself or the hood, you understand me?
    Ya I fuck with the Bulls but I ain't Sammy
    Niggas run around the hood singin'
    They should get a Grammy
    Hey you two muthafuckas should get an Oscar
    With this good-cop-bad cop shit, take me to process
    'Cause I don't eat breakfast with no pigs
    I watched First 48 so fuck your twenty-five years
    No evidence, no big
    I don't know who split them niggas' wigs
    Already told y'all, there was money on the table with the bricks
    I was walkin' to the bathroom to take a shit
    Then I heard my dogs barkin', there's some noise by the fence
    So I ran to my room and reached for the 4 fifth
    Then I seen three niggas by my back door
    Looked out the bathroom window and seen two more
    So I reached for my chopper and some clips out the drawer
