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.

Tales from Sentimental Teaser.
Take the beautiful sting of a Scorpio
A careless smile and it begins to snow
And it hurts me to think
That you might never know
That I've got this thing about you
In case you don't understand
There's something else I meant to tell you
There is nothing better
Than being with you
And I'm feeling so nice
There is nowhere better
Than here with you
And it's feeling so nice
Staying up with the moon
And walking home in the rain
Mixed with your perfume
And never twice the same
I got a lot to lose
But everything to gain
When I really think about it
You haven't got a clue
It's all that I can do to hide it
There is nothing better
Than being with you
And I'm feeling so nice
There is nowhere better
Than here with you
And it's feeling so nice
Did I already say
'Cause you make me forget
I might as well be brave and tell 'ya
And it hurts me to think that
You might never know
Will it hurt as much being true?
I might as well be brave and tell 'ya
Yeah I'm feeling
Ayo, Irv, 'the fuck is wrong with these niggas, man?
Talking 'bout I ain't no fuckin MC

I keep it candy like Mariah, I'm so fire
When step it in the club, "Get Low" like Flo Rida
Cus I'm a pimp, you can tell by the limp
When I st-st-st-step aside the 26 inch
You see my rims? They bigger than Bow Wow
Get money, fuck bitches, that's what I'm about now
The Phantom, ugly, the Bentley, retarded
The kicks still Chuck Taylors, the jacket is a Starter
I beg your pardon, nigga, we can get started
If you ain't Nas or that nigga on third Carter
My happy face is Kenneth Supreme mug shot
When it go down, who goin' stop the blood clot?
[Chorus: Newz (The Game)]
Throw yo hands up it's that gangsta shit
All the homies go crazy when they bump my shit

Got a snub nose, call it Big Tig
You art not fuck with Game, he crazy
And the bars comin' straight outta Compton, baby

Headed to the airport, my flow flying in from Queens
Accompanied by my bitch, flying in with them things

[Verse 3:]
Man you know, I don't give a fuck

Any drama, I'm locked on like a red-nose pit
Keep shooting them cap guns with the red nose tips
Have some Cali niggas come out and dead those strips
Give a fuck if you tuff nigga, or you buff nigga
My 4-5 weigh 3 pounds and it'll snuff niggas
Hop out the truck with the gun so long
Let the bullets jump out and ask, "What's going on?"
What the fuck can I say? I grew up a bastard
Got sick in the Impala so I threw up a Aston
I pop big shit, and I keep my wrist slit
My entourage shine like the Diamond District
I got a Rolex, a real big Rolex
With so many rock, the Africans is trying to protest
Bully of the block, why? Cus they got me top 5
There's four niggas better than me? Nigga, stop lyin!
[Chorus: Newz (The Game)]
Throw yo hands up it's that gangsta shit
All the homies go crazy when they bump my shit

She's got everything she needs,

And paint the daytime black.
You will start out standing
Proud to steal her anything she sees.
You will start out standing
Proud to steal her anything she sees.
But you will wind up peeking through her keyhole
Down upon your knees.
She never stumbles,
She's got no place to fall.
She never stumbles,
She's got no place to fall.
She's nobody's child,
The Law can't touch her at all.
She wears an Egyptian ring
That sparkles before she speaks.

She's a hypnotist collector,
You are a walking antique.
Bow down to her on Sunday,
Salute her when her birthday comes.

They ask me what grey thought has just clouded my eye
I told them that Azrael looked down on their decline
What grey thought, if any, crossed the landscape of your mind
I told them that Azrael looks down on you from behind
I told them what they asked, why I hold my breath
If Azrael on wings of death collects his pound of flesh
I told them what they asked, why I hold my breath
Just like old Saxophone Joe
When he's got the hogshead up on his toe
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie.
Listen to the fiddler play
When he's playin' 'til the break of day
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie.
Rasberry, strawberry, lemon and lime
What do I care ?
Blueberry, apple, cherry, pumpkin and plum
Call me for dinner, honey, I'll be there.
Saddle me up on my big white goose
Tie me on 'er turn her loose
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie.
I don't need much and that ain't no lie
Ain't runnin' any race
Give to me my country pie
I won't throw it up in anybody's face.
Shake me up that old peach tree
Little Jack Horner's got nothin' on me
Oh me, oh my
[Hook:]
I don't wanna be alone
It don't matter anymore who it is
As long as someone's there
I don't wanna be alone
It don't matter anymore what happens
From here on out, nice
[Verse 1: Outasight]
With the same ol' two step
Bounce around town, know what you doing
Ain't the jealous type seeing how the fellas like
Running game all day, yeah, I let it ride
Damn, let's cruise, lost all my energy and blew a fuse
If the rules include what you do
The news for me to choose, a bruised ego is cool
What a fool, the man don't learn
Bought bags, bought jewels
Canceled subscriptions but then renewed
I don't mean to be rude, penny for a thought
So what a few stacks gon do or two?
Tied my noose, told me to hang loose
Swoosh, nothing but net, I guess I can shoot
[Hook]
So we doing real nice, a piece of advice
I'll take the whole slice, I ain't hear no bells
Don't throw no rice, blazer off white with a navy pinstripe
Right out Miami Vice, don't seem like the type
But damn that's the life and I didn't choose it
It's too confusing, use your illusion
Guns and Roses, flash Juxtaposes
35 millimeter black and white poses
56 and lotus as an added bonus, tell me if you on this
Even when I lie in bed, I'm being honest
Say good night and see ya in the morning
Wherever I'm roaming, looking for love 'cause I can't be alone man
Explain to you,
The girl who tells me that she knows herself.
I say to you, (my girl,)
You don't know you, (my girl,)
Only really shallow people know themselves
It's true to say.
Everybody's playing happy Freud.
I say to you, (my girl,)
You don't know you, (my girl,)
Your Capricorn is showing,
And the edge is getting frayed, frayed.
Here's to all those people
Who know themselves; (They really know themselves.)
They look into a mirror and
They know themselves. (They really know themselves.)
I will build them
A mirror they can see themselves
As other people see them!

Personality, suffer and enjoy it
civility, most annoying habit
isn't what I want, can't be what I want
eating at me, it's eating at me
Patience is a thorn in my side
another thorn in my side
feelings bottled up inside
ready to suffer the considiration
Another test, I grit my teeth and stand it
try to ignore the most annoying habits
isn't who I am, can't be who I am
feel my decay, I feel my decay
Patience is a thorn in my side
another thorn in my side
feelings bottled up inside
ready to suffer the consideration
Nice, nice
patience is a fuckin' thorn in my side
Nice, nice
tolerance will stab at me
but it's nice
worn down, jerked around
patience wears thin, painful stabbing
I'm hangin' around
just treading the boards of my room
yeah, looking out the window
down at the people below
oh yeah, the night is coming on
the walls are closing in
the air has ceased to move
I'm staring at my hands
and getting used to the silence
there's nothing left to do
'cause I'm
hangin' around
just hangin' around
random from the start
oh yeah
indecision
is a stone you throw
an act of another dead man
looking through the holes in his glass house window
oh yeah
do you know what I mean?
have you ever been
have you ever felt like me?
time melts away but it feels like it's moving so slow
I am
hangin' around
I am
hangin' around
random from the start
oh yeah
yeah
hey
oh
I'll say it one more time
I'll say it again
I'm a broken record, broken record, broken record
broken record, broken record, broken man
oh yeah
I've got no leads in this case
I can't keep up the pace
I've given up the chase
another night goes by
now I can hear the silence
I see you laughing in my face
'cause I am
hangin' around
just hangin' around
random from the start
oh yeah
I am
hangin' around
I am
haging' around
waiting
waiting for something to happen man
hey
can you see me?
do you know?
just what I'm going through
what am I gonna do?
oh yeah
here I go
down
yeah
hey
oh
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
Explain to you,
The girl who tells me that she knows herself.

Bow down to her on Sunday,

For Halloween buy her a trumpet
And for Christmas, give her a drum.
Ahead of my senses
How do you do it baby
Out of my mind when I'm with you
The deeper expences
Away from the blue
Nothing to gain or say or do
Why worry
Why worry
When in the morning it won't be gone (x 3)
I'm taking these chances
And become brand new
Casting the light over the gloom
So now we're jumping these fences
Of the prison of blue
Loving the day and the nighttime too
She gets up
Out of her bed
Blinking her eyes and cracking her neck
She throws me a smile
And off to the ceiling
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads

Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
