Color Lines (aka Lines) is a computer puzzle game, invented by Oleg Demin and first introduced as a video game by the Russian company Gamos (Russian: Геймос) in 1992.
The game starts with a 9×9 board with three balls chosen out of seven different colours. The player can move one ball per turn, and the player may only move a ball to a particular place if there is a path (linked set of vertical and horizontal empty cells) between the current position of the ball and the desired destination. The goal is to remove balls by forming lines (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) of at least five balls of the same colour. If the player does form such lines of at least five balls of the same colour, the balls in those lines disappear, and he gains one turn, i.e. he can move another ball. If not, three new balls are added, and the game continues until the board is full.
In 1995 the first Windows version was developed by Igor Nedelko and Andrey Akselrod for the AbrewSoft company as a shareware. This was a faithful remake of Color Lines, with 256-color graphics and a custom window with buttons for all the functions. The characters on the pillars, champion and pretender, were still there, but in a modern office instead of a medieval setting. The figurines to the right was ever so slightly animated, blinking and tapping a hand now and then. The ball with the four cyan arrows was for moving the window around. A new concept of a four-color balls on advanced levels was introduced with this version.

Ice cubes are small, roughly cube-shaped pieces of ice, conventionally used to cool beverages. Ice cubes are sometimes preferred over crushed ice because they melt more slowly; they are standard in mixed drinks that call for ice, in which case the drink is said to be "on the rocks."
Ice cubes that are crushed or sheared into irregularly-shaped flakes may add an interesting aesthetic effect to some cocktails. Crushed ice is also used when faster cooling is desired, since the rate of cooling is governed by the number and average radius of the ice particles.
Melting ice cubes sometimes precipitate white flakes, commonly known as "floaties". This is calcium carbonate which is present in many water supplies and is completely harmless.[citation needed]
American physician and humanitarian John Gorrie built a refrigerator in 1844 with the purpose of cooling air. His refrigerator produced ice which he hung from the ceiling in a basin. Gorrie can be considered the creator of ice cubes, but his aim was not to cool drinks: he used the ice to lower the ambient room temperature. During his time, a dominant idea was that bad air quality caused disease. Therefore, in order to help treat sickness, he pushed for the draining of swamps and the cooling of sickrooms.
Arthur W. "Art" Bell, III (born June 17, 1945) is an American broadcaster and author, known primarily as one of the founders and the original host of the paranormal-themed radio program Coast to Coast AM. He also created and formerly hosted its companion show, Dreamland. Semi-retired from Coast to Coast AM since 2003, he hosted the show many weekends for the following four years. He announced his retirement from weekend hosting on July 1, 2007 but occasionally serves as a guest host. He attributed the reason for this latest retirement to a desire to spend time with his new wife and daughter, born May 30, 2007. He added that unlike his previous "retirements," this one will stand, while leaving open the option to return. Classic Bell-hosted episodes of Coast to Coast AM can be heard in some markets on Saturday nights under the name Somewhere in Time.
Bell founded and was the original owner of Pahrump, Nevada-based radio station, KNYE 95.1 FM. His broadcast studio and transmitter were located near his home in Pahrump while he hosted Coast to Coast AM except from June to December 2006, when he lived in the Philippines. He returned to the Philippines March 10, 2009 with his family after having significant difficulties obtaining a U.S. visa for his wife Airyn.
I want to be free from the noise of the grind
So I live on the outskirts of the back of my mind
With a strong hand a songman and God on my side
I'm writing that freedom a line at a time
On the highway to nowhere that runs through my mind
A yellow line stretches out into the night
Broken in places it's my guiding light
So I'm writing that freedom a line at a time
I'm walking a fine line between wrong and right
I can live with the problems of this day and time
Consider me lucky cause I'll be all right
In my mind I'm having a beautiful life
I'm lost in the feelings of this heart of mine
In search of the border of infinite time
And I find peace of mind in the songs and their rhymes
You told me that you hated lines,
Hate being told what to do,
You can bitch and you can whine,
But whose idea was the cue?
And I know it's just my opinion,
The lines are in my mind,
They lead me to my indecision,
So what are you gonna do,
When the same applies to you?
She told me that she doesn't care,
Doesn't matter if he dies,
She told me that I'm unaware,
Words are just a waste of time?
And I know it's just my opinion,
The lines are in my mind,
They lead me to my indecision,
So what are you gonna do,
When the same applies to you?
You told me that you hated lines,
Hate being told what to do,
You can bitch and you can whine,
But whose idea was the cue?
And I know it's just my opinion,
The lines are in my mind,
They lead me to my indecision,
So what are you gonna do,
High, sunlight, drown, high, sunlight, goodbye.
As I re-submerge I can barely breathe, lung capacity withering away, hyperventilate, all disintegrating bodies turn to dust, sudden rush of blood, snap me out of moods swinging in the wind, round to hurricane breeze, past damage in the blast more than physical, plain to see upon the visual, feel the impact down deep inside a rattled rib cage, lying shattered there in pieces, fall away wither and decay, cannot keep this anxiety at bay, hellfire spray twisted metal stray, when sparks fly into the naked eye, fools know not to even try, think about it fully, blowing sky high bring a house down, panic all around, blind to the fact silent ones who plan a hijack give with one hand, other takes back one way collision flight path, aftermath, come and feel the wrath laid to waste, steadily with haste, cutting to the chase, drifting off the pace, filling all space and times up for the meanwhile pressure piles down, terror reigns.
Runaway, loose, gonna run over you, infected, injected, completely subdued, invasive, foreign entity, unwelcome
High, sunlight, drown, high, sunlight, goodbye.
Lines, lines data and lines, confusing nations all data inside, games shame lies to the masses, dead souls all rise on poisonous gasses.
Lines, lines la la la la la la, lines.
Battered and broken hour glass, last thing you see before the light fizzle out, smoke billowing, broken down from the inside by scandalous tension, take hold, gripped by the head, cold harbouring a grudge, closer to the edge, cradling the grave concern, follow leaders in turn, flipside opposition, convey grievance, half a mind to test immortal patience, held down while suffocating, blocking air path, final exhale, vital sign fail, flatline, they would rather do away with our kind, half expected inside, rotten infected, fatally flawed and overawed, biohazardous and contagious, got animal into animal, crushedlike beasts into cages, slow deteriorate body, shutting down, cease and fade, cease then fade.
Runaway, loose, gonna run over you, infected, injected, completely subdued, invasive, foreign entity, unwelcome.
Lines, lines la la la la la la, lines, lines la la la la la la, lines, la la la la la.
Passing time
You've come so far but you're still behind
You'll lose your mind if you cut this line
It's just the way it's been
All your friends and all their sins
Passing time
Don't fall behind, I will come for you
If you call, I'll come right now
I will help you see through
All your pain and troubled times
Just you know I'll be there if you ever decide to call
Passing time
All your addictions are so sublime
You lose your mind if you cross the line
I'll be there for you if you ever call
I'll be there for you any time at all
Passing time
You've come so far
Gather along the lines, Gather along the lines. You’ll be safe inside so gather along the lines
No one has to know as long as you don’t smoke those cigarettes
You can keep your heart of stone and say you forgive but you don’t ever forget
We can’t keep this up much longer, Grace is driving the hardest bargain
The perfect world we have construced keeps more people out than lets them come in
So let it shine if you’ve got any light left
Let it rise and sing as loud as you can get
We’ve got to live, we’ve got to laugh, we’ve got to love
We’ve got to learn to breath outside the lines
We got to learn to be outside the lines
Gather along the lines
Gather along the lines
Keep your prejudice and pride
Just gather along the lines
Everyone will think that you are so important to the Lord
But never bend you knee oh that wasted time you can’t seem to afford
We were caught inside the bubble, some sense of family some sense we belonged
And when we pleased them they were happy but God forbid that we should ever do wrong
I don’t think he’s threatened when we ask questions when we have doubts and disbelief
Now that's what I'm talking 'bout
Year of the ASAP Mob
Lines - tell them read between it
Tripping while I'm slipping, busy fighting off these demons
Listen while I'm spitting boy, you probably won't believe it
But life is so terrific, tell them pinch me if I'm dreaming
Revenue's what I get get, your bitch is what I did hit
And I'm bout my business, them pesos what I did get
Made a hit, had a fix, they saying you's the shiznit
Tell them get off my diznick, you bucketheaded bitches
Crossing all the lines, time is only racing time
He flippin to the bars so I'm only raising mine
Depending on the grind is the only way to shine
So I'm feeling like that odds is the only state of mind
And it's finna give me peace, life up in these streets
Equipped with a piece, case you niggas wanted beef
Cause man gave us laws and God gave us time
It's the art of storytelling and I'm only telling mine
The lines we've crossed, the lines we crossed
Have always been why I've lost
It changes all the time
Cause I've wondered how (I've wondered how)
I'm happier when I lose what I've needed all my life
(Talk that talk boy)
Straight out of the belly of East Point, yea that's my origins
Was born in West Savannah, Georgia then I was born again
Like the baby in the manger
I gave my life to Jésus because he could protect me from the dangers
In the circle of angels, just to help me shine my halo
Attended Sunday school but it felt like it was every day though
I didn't have a suit or no fancy shoes, we went in our play clothes
Received the word and it molded me like Play Doh
We don't play though - we don't play though
They say we get lower than an alligator's navel
And when I say gator I mean that gator that match that sable, fur coat
I wish that PETA would throw some blood off on my fur, folk
Boy - ass whoopin'
They out'chea eating flesh but wanna worry how I'm looking
I stay simply fresh to death, Sir Luscious Left Foot, best foot forward
You reap what you sow, and now it's showing
The lines we've crossed, the lines we crossed
Have always been why I've lost
It changes all the time
Cause I've wondered how (I've wondered how)
I'm happier when I lose what I've needed all my life
To the left you have
A young man whose never really cared about nothing
To the right you have
A man who spilt his blood to make a difference
I said a difference
Well these are the lines by which we play
These are the lines that we have made
And now you have
One who embraces life with adoration
Not expectations
And too bad you have one who'll take a life without a reason
I said no reason
Well these are the lines by which we play
Well these are the lines that we have made
Well these are the lines drawn everyday
These are the lines by which we all are made
Floating, falling, drowning in the grey
Oh I wish I could serve up a solution
By these extremes we all are victims
Just floating, falling, drowning in the grey
Is where you don't believe
A patterned life accordingly
A cry for help is just a silent scream
And now you have a man who's lost control
To all his vices and devices
And still we have one who resonates
All the beauty one can encompass
Well try and take it
Well these are the lines by which we play
Well these are the lines that we have made
Well these are the lines drawn everyday
Well these are the lines that we have made
These are
These are
These are
Take away these lines
This world beats all around me but nothing here feeds
to satisfy
So I've grown this face
Perfect in disguise so you don't know what I feel each
moment
I don't fit here
I feel I don't fit anywhere
I feel like I'm lost in this game so...
Take away these lines
It's making no sense to me
But we don't care
Let's see if I can change
And break these lines
It's makin no sense to me
But we don't care
I'll see if I can change
Make your own mistakes
If it hurts then you're alive and means something's
there
You feel it deep inside that this is all a game
Make your first move and decide to be conscious and god
of each moment
I don't fit here
I feel I don't fit anywhere
I feel like I'm lost in this game so...
Take away these lines
It's making no sense to me
But we don't care
I'll see if I can change
And break these lines
It's making no sense to me
But we don't care
Let's see if I...
Gonna see if I can change
We all wanna feel something
But we don't want to change
This life is our only life
None of this remains
But you own your history
You own it just like me
Friend I wanna know I was alive
Take away these lines
You're making no sense to me
But we don't care
Let's see if I can change
And break these lines
You make no sense to me
But we don't care
Let's see If I...
I want to feel something here
I want to feel something more
But I don't wanna change
Faster than I used to feel
Hi, I'm alive
He lives inside
You will be lined
From wrong to right
(chorus)
And I see you face, and you see my face
And I can not (WAAH!)
And you feel the pain, and you see the gain
And you wanna (WAAH!)
And now that you believe, and now that I can see
And now that we can fall in love again
And now that you can see, and now that I believe
And now that we can fall in love
I I'm so high
It feels alive
You will be lined
From wrong to right
(chorus)
And now that you believe, and now that I can see
And now that we can fall in line again
And now that you can see, and now that I believe
And now that we can fall in line

Life is better when you know what’s going on about you
If it’s easy, if it’s colorful, your line will be
revealed
But if your mind let your thoughts come in the way it
change again
It’s not how to get done but all it taken on the way
Breaking promises, they were meant to leave the heart
broken
See the sun rise, the morning sun will smile and bring
you home
There’s a river running through your veins if those were
here apart
This is gonna be special, I should’ve known this dawn
