Ice Ice Baby Lyrics - Vanilla Ice
Review The Song (7)
(Vanilla Ice, Earthquake, M. Smooth)
Yo,Vanilla,kick it one time Boy
Yo, VIP, Let's kick it!
Ice Ice Baby, Ice Ice Baby
All right stop, Collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something, grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? Yo; I don't know
Turn off the lights, and i'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.
Dance, go rush the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
deadly, when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it, You better gain way
You better hit bull's eye, The kid don't play
If there was a problem, Yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Ice Ice Baby, Vanilla Ice Ice Baby
Vanilla Ice Ice Baby, Vanilla Ice Ice Baby,
Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in and the Vegas are pumpin'
Quick to the point, to the point no faking
Cooking MCs like a pound of bacon
Burnin' 'em, if you aint quick and nimble
I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
And a hi hat, with a souped up tempo
I'm on a roll, it's time to go solo
Rollin' in my 5.0
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby, waving just to say Hi
Did you stop? No -- I just drove by
Kept on, pursuing to the next stop
I bust a left and I'm heading to the next block
That block was dead, yo, so I continued to A1A
Beachfront Avenue
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis
Jealous, 'cause I'm out getting mine
Shay with a gauge, and Vanilla with a nine
Ready, for the chumps on the wall
The chumps acting ill because they're full of "Eight Ball"
Gunshots, ranged out like a bell
I grabbed my nine -- All I heard were shells
Falling, on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper, the avenue's packed
I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene, you know what I mean
They passed me up, confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem, Yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Ice Ice Baby, Vanilla Ice Ice Baby
Vanilla Ice Ice Baby, Vanilla Ice Ice Baby
Take heed, 'cause I'm a lyrical poet
Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it
My town, that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
'Cause my style's like a chemical spill
Feasible rhymes you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed, this is a hell of a concept
We make it hype, and you want to step with this
Shay plays on the fade, slice like a ninja
Cut like a razor blade so fast, Other DJs say, "damn"
If my rhyme was a drug, I'd sell it by the gram
Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice
If there was a problem, Yo -- I'll solve it!
Check out the hook while DJ revolves it.
Ice Ice Baby, Vanilla Ice Ice Baby
Vanilla Ice Ice Baby, Vanilla Ice Ice Baby, Vanilla Ice
Yo man -- Let's get out of here! Word to your mother!
Ice Ice Baby Too cold, Ice Ice Baby Too cold, Too cold
Ice Ice Baby Too cold, Too cold, Ice Ice Baby Too cold, Too cold

you guys are actually debating on his lyrics yes hed did steel the beat and he didn't get in trouble for it because he changed it just enought to get away with it lol and he was good for his time most rap that was actually played back then sounded alot like that!!! lol
Fake | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/9/2007
yes he did steal it, Queen filed a lawsuit, but they settled out of court and Queen was given credit. He was also accused of stealing the lyrics from Suge Knight.
Ekhem... | Reviewer: Valkyr | 8/27/2006
Vanilla Ice didn't stole it,You idiot.Have You ever heard of smth called a "cover"?That's a cover.He "borrowed" the melody from Queens song,but he prolly asked for that <and prolly payed for it too>.If he wouldn't,Queen,or just Mr. Mercury <R.I.P.> could take him into the court.<Correct me if I'm wrong,but> I've never heard about that case.So man,just chill.It seems to me,that Vanilla Ice is just too...Cold for You.
And now smth about that song-erm...This lyric is really...Funny.Vanilla tried to be like other,black rapers,but he uhm...He could just try.Every time I hear this song,I'm getting happier,'cause it's pathetic in that funny way.
Surely the best song of Mr. Ice.
WTF | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/25/2006
Vanilla Ice stole the melody to this song from Queen - Under Pressure...
And the lyrics suck.
Vanilla Ice was never a mentor, he was a "Onehit Wonder", and his only hit was stolen anyway!
ice ice baby | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/1/2005
Vanilla Ice was a legand in his own life time, and obviously a mentor to the like of Eminem and 50 cent don't you agree

The Business Rusch: Believe In Yourself | Kristine Kathryn Rusch.
If you're trying to be an independent author and you're not reading Kristine Kathryn Rusch everyday then you're doing something wrong.
She routinely gives excellent business advice. At least, it sounds excellent in that it makes perfect sense to me. I can't actually say that I have enough experience in the business side of things to validate them. Still, a bunch of it comes down to sticking up for yourself, reading your contract, and at least looking far enough into the future that you can make a reasonable assessment of the risks involved in a contract.
But that's not what this post is really about. This post is inspiring. Go read it.
Done reading yet? As a reader, this, to me, is the thing that is awesome about independent authorship. How many times over the years do you think a new author has gone to a publisher with a truly unique piece of literature that has been squished and squashed to fit into predetermined molds? And the author, being new, went along with it because there weren't really options, they wanted to get published, and they didn't know any better. Well now they have options, and inexpensive ones at that.
Yay us.

According to a recent national driving survey, the majority of Americans enjoy riding with their furry best friends, even if it means dealing with pet-related distractions.
Results released in July from AAA and Kurgo Dog Products' 2011 Pet Passenger Safety Survey showed that 56 percent of respondents drove with their dog once a month in the last year.
Of these, 29 percent said they were distracted by their dog while driving, and nearly two-thirds (65 percent) admitted to engaging in at least one potentially distracting pet-related activity.
Some of these distractions included using hands or arms to prevent a dog from climbing into the front seat (23 percent), allowing the dog to sit in their lap (17 percent) or taking a photo of their dog (3 percent).
Chattanooga Veterinary Center veterinarian Mary Stanley said her 5-pound Chihuahua, Xena, caused her to rear-end another vehicle two years ago when the dog jumped from the back seat to the front. Now, Xena rides in the back in a car seat specifically designed to restrain dogs, Stanley said.
"They [dogs] are a distraction in a vehicle," she said. "They're as bad as a cell phone, if not even worse."
Here are some tips from AAA's PetBook guide to keeping dogs safe during car trips.
• Confine pooch to the back seat in a carrier or harness. Restraints will also prevent escape attempts when the door is opened on arrival.
• Prevent car sickness by feeding them a light meal four to six hours before departure, and don't try to provide additional food or water while the car is moving.
• Avoid placing dogs in a camper trailer. The truck bed isn't safe either, even if the animal is restrained.
• Keep Fido's head in the window. Flying debris or sudden stops pose serious risks to dogs enjoying the breeze.
• Just like their owners, animals need pit stops. Plan one every four hours or so.

NORTH SMITHFIELD — The playoffs for Division IV begin Nov. 29 with a pair of semifinal contests.
Right now, one of the hottest team heading into the postseason just be North Smithfield.
After falling to Smithfield back on Sept. 30, the Northmen have won five straight games, mostly against the upper-echelon of divisional squads.
En route to its current 5-2 mark, one that ties the local gridders with the Sentinels for second place in the league, N.S. has knocked off two undefeated teams (Exeter/West Greenwich, Mount Pleasant) and two others with winning records (Smithfield, Central Falls).
It's often said that passion in athletics among our youths has been lost. With all the distractions that kids have nowadays, such as video games, computers and iPods, the younger generation has been more inclined to sit down and punch keys or work a remote than dedicate themselves to a sport (or sports).
The decline in roster numbers and the empty fields and basketball courts on a daily basis has proven that some of that is true.
But the passion hasn't disappeared completely. There is still that urge to test one's strength to its physical and mental limits among some of our youths.
For Rhode Island high school football teams, playing on Thanksgiving is hailed as one of those holiday traditions you can't live without, it's so-called importance ranking up there with the Macy's Day Parade, awkward dinner-time conversations and endless turkey leftovers.

Ville Platte City employees may soon get a pay raise. The biggest recipient would be Chief of Police, Neil Lartigue. Council members are proposing increasing his salary by 20 percent.
Resident, Phillip LaFleur, said "well, I think the chief has done a good job and if anyone deserves a twenty percent raise, it'd be the chief."
Another resident, Joyce Litigue, said "with that job, he needs it."
Ville Platte residents say Chief Lartigue is under-payed and overworked. Mayor Jennifer Vidrine, seems to agree.
Council member, Freddie Jack, said "she prevented it to the council and we went on with it and we agreed to it. Four thousand, I think . It wasn't like we are going to give him a 40 thousand dollar raise."
Jack said the council is also wanting to give a pay raise to 56 city employees.
He said, "our civil service employee's haven't received a raise in a quite some time."
Litigue said it's nice to hear of pay raises, during a time when most people hear of pay cuts...
"It means they are going to work harder," she explained. "They will have more money they are going to spend in Ville Platte."
Jack said, "we have a good surplus of money and we can accommodate those raises."
The council still has to vote on the measure, but all members are in favor.

Design and Implementation of PES Mechanisms:
A presentation explaining the design and implementation of PES mechanisms.
Diseño e Implementación de Mecanismos de PSA:
Una presentación que explica el diseño e implementación de mecanismos de pagos por servicios ambientales.
Steps in the Design of Payments for Environmental Services Mechanisms
1. Main steps in the design of Payments for Environmental Services Mechanisms
While the principles are clear, however, designing and implementing a system of payments for environmental services in practice is often difficult.The process of designing a system of payments for environmental services can be broken into several steps:
Identifying and Quantifying Environmental Services - What environmental services does a given land use generate? How much of that service is generated? And how much is the service worth?
The answers to these questions will of course be largely country-specific in their details. Indeed, the nature, extent, and value of environmental services are likely tp be not just country-specific, but site-specific within a country. Flood protection benefits, for example, depend on what is being protected in any given watershed and on the size and characteristics of the watershed. Within this diversity, however, there is probably a great deal of commonality across countries in the same region - especially if one could develop a typology of watersheds.
2. Identifying and Quantifying Environmental Services?
Both qualitatively and, especially, quantitatively, we know much less about the environmental services generated by different kinds of land uses than we often think we do. This is partly a reflection of the diversity of conditions encountered: hydrological benefits will depend on the rainfall regime, on the type of soil, on topography, for example. It also depends on the objectives being sought: efforts to regulate waterflows to avoid flooding and dry season deficits may require different interventions than efforts to maximize total water volume, and the measures required to conserve biodiversity may be different from either.
Moreover, even if the kind of benefit that a given land use generates is known, one must also know how much of that benefit is being generated. Changing land uses is not costless; it imposes opportunity costs from the foregone land use, and may also impose direct costs (for example, for reforestation). Without estimates of the amounts of benefits that would be generated, it is difficult to determine whether these costs are worth bearing.Some of the benefits typically sought from changes in land use include (but are not limited to):
3. Charging Service Users
For systems of environmental service payments to survive, they must have secure sources of financing. This is especially important if payments must be on-going, as discussed in the previous section. How can beneficiaries be made to pay for environmental services? This is primarily a financial question, which affects the sustainability of payments mechanisms.There are already some examples of efforts to do this:
· A few municipalities downstream or El Imposible National Park in El Salvador have agreed to make a financial contribution to park management as payment for watershed services
· In Colombia, many water user groups pay for watershed services – sometimes by buying the entire watershed.
· Also in Colombia, power companies must by law pay a percentage of their revenues from HEP to regional corporations that are responsible for watershed management (although whether these funds are actually used for watershed management seems doubtful).
4. Paying Service Providers
For environmental service payments to have the desired effect, they must reach the land users and do so in a way that motivates them to change their land use decisions. This is not as easy as it sounds. The historical record is replete with examples of efforts to induce land users to adopt particular land use practices, for a variety of reasons and using a variety of payment mechanisms. Most have very little to show for their efforts.
In general, two principles are clear:
5. Creating an Appropriate Institutional Framework
Designing and implementing systems of payments for environmental services may require changes in the legislative and regulatory framework.

ADA: Novel Once-Weekly Exenatide Beats Competitors
Published: Jun 7, 2009
NEW ORLEANS, June 7 -- An investigational once-weekly formulation of exenatide (Byetta) may improve glycemic control compared with both pioglitazone (Actos) and sitagliptin (Januvia), clinical trial results reveal.
Hemoglobin A1c dropped an absolute 1.70% with once-weekly exenatide compared with pioglitazone's 1.42% and sitagliptin's 0.98% reductions (both P<0.05), Richard Bergenstal, M.D., of the International Diabetes Center in Minneapolis, Minn., and colleagues reported here.
In their randomized, head-to-head comparison trial, extended-release exenatide also showed weight and lipid benefits over the active comparators, they reported here at the American Diabetes Association meeting.
Cutting down subcutaneous injections of exenatide from twice daily to once weekly may be a big plus for patients and compliance, noted Dr. Bergenstal, who is ADA president-elect, but emphasized efficacy.
"Sometimes you hear, 'Oh, it's just a convenience drug,' " which he called an unfair label. "Yes, it's convenient, but it also happens to be very effective."
The researchers had previously shown in the DURATION-1 study that once-weekly exenatide improved glycemic control better than the twice-daily formulation without increased risk of hypoglycemia.
So in DURATION-2, they compared the novel agent to maximal daily doses of commonly used diabetes drugs -- the thiazolidinedione pioglitazone and the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor sitagliptin.
The study included 491 patients with type 2 diabetes who were not at goal for glycemic control (average hemoglobin A1c 8.5% to 8.6%) despite metformin treatment).
These participants were randomly assigned to receive 2 mg of exenatide once weekly, 100 mg of sitagliptin once daily, or 45 mg of pioglitazone once daily, along with their background metformin and double-dummy placebo.
Patients on the novel exenatide formulation were also most likely to reach the hemoglobin A1c target goal after 26 weeks. The proportion was:
- 66% got their hemoglobin A1c down to at least 7.0% with exenatide, compared with 56% with pioglitazone and 42% with sitagliptin (P<0.05 for both)
- 43% reached the goal of 6.5% or lower hemoglobin A1c with exenatide, compared to 33% with pioglitazone and 18% with sitagliptin (P<0.05 for both)
Average fasting plasma glucose showed the same pattern (average 128 mg/dL exenatide, 147 sitagliptin, and 135 pioglitazone).
Dr. Bergenstal noted that the pioglitazone and sitagliptin responses in the study were similar to those seen in other studies.
"But in this day and age, we're asking more than glycemia control" from diabetes drugs, he said.
While cautioning that the relatively short-term study could not evaluate cardiovascular outcomes, he noted that cardiovascular markers supported the efficacy of once-weekly exenatide as well.
Body weight dropped 2.8 kg with the novel formulation, compared with 0.9 kg with sitagliptin and a weight gain of 3.4 kg in the pioglitazone group over 26 weeks (P<0.05 for both).
About 70% of patients lost weight to some degree while on once-weekly exenatide, Dr. Bergenstal noted.
For blood pressure, exenatide was associated with the largest, 3.6-mm Hg systolic reduction (P<0.05 versus sitagliptin).
Exenatide was the only drug with a trend for reduced total and LDL cholesterol and significant declines in markers of heart failure risk (BNP) and kidney dysfunction (albumin-to-creatinine ratio).
The researchers concluded that once-weekly exenatide was well tolerated.
It had a low overall incidence of serious treatment-emergent adverse events (2.5% versus 3.0% sitagliptin and 6.1% pioglitazone), no major hypoglycemia, and a low rate of minor hypoglycemia (1.3% versus 3.0% and 0.6%, respectively).
Dr. Bergenstal said a new drug application has already been submitted to the FDA for the once-weekly formulation.
|The study was supported by Amylin Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly.
Dr. Bergenstal reported conflicts of interest with Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Eli Lilly, Intuity, Abbott Diabetes Care, Lifescan (a Johnson & Johnson Company), MannKind, Medtronic MiniMed, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, and Novo Nordisk.
One co-author reported conflicts of interest with Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Eli Lilly, Merck, Novo Nordisk, and sanofi-aventis. The rest reported employment with and owning stock in Amylin Pharmaceuticals.

Quite simply funeral insurance is a policy you can take out now; then when you die the policy will pay your nominated amount to your beneficiaries which they can use to cover your funeral or other final expenses.
It is a very simple and worthwhile form of insurance, available for a fortnightly or monthly premium, because, with funeral costs increasing at an alarming rate, covering these costs can make the process of burial or cremation smoother and less stressful for those left behind.
The death of a loved one is a sad and traumatic experience and organising a funeral involves a lot of decisions and details, including the casket, flowers, transport, the service and other related costs.
Families don't always have the ready finance to meet these costs and it typically takes a while before the assets of the estate are distributed. Someone has to pay for the funeral and this in itself can cause friction between family members at a very emotional time. Your family will be grateful to you for making it easier for them by ensuring access to cash, as a lot of policies pay within 2 business days of completing the required claim documentation. You will need to read the relevant Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for full details of the policy you are interested in.
Funeral insurance helps reduce your family's financial burden, in an emotional time. Funerals can be very expensive. It can be very difficult for grieving families to come up with thousands of dollars at short notice.
When applying for an insurance policy you will need to select the cover option that will suit both your budget, as well as the benefit you would like to have paid out. You are also able to take out policies which cover your partner and children until they reach the age of 21 (they will need to be financially dependent on you).
The type and level of cover available will depend on who the insurer is. There will be variations in what they cover, minimum and maximum cover, how much the premiums are and how premium payments are scheduled, which is why you need to compare. To get the right deal you should compare the funeral insurance products offered by various companies.
The premiums may vary, but generally funeral insurance policies available through Choosi will offer:
You should read the product disclosure statement of any policy you are looking to purchase to find out exactly what is and isn't included in the policy.
Funeral cover buys you peace of mind
You may well think "What benefit is there for me, I'll be dead?" The real benefit to you, of course, is peace of mind.
With the expenses covered, you know your family can arrange a funeral that pays fitting tribute to you and the life you led. Your family will be able to give you a funeral that will express their love and respect for you and give them the closure they need as they bid you farewell.
It's simple to apply for free funeral quotes online here or just call us on 1300 CHOOSI and we will provide you with helpful information to compare Funeral Insurance policies and get the best cover for your needs.

Zombie BT mobile patent emerges in hands of troll
A Delaware company called Steelhead Licensing has filed a world+dog lawsuit alleging infringement of a patent it acquired from BT. The list of defendants here includes Apple, AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, HTC, Kyocera, LG, NEC, Motorola, RIM, Sony and others. Carriers are included in the target list because their personal hotspot …
crap or FRAND?
IANAL but...
Isn't the concept of calculating the best base station to use based on signal strength and error rate fairly obvious to anyone with even a little knowledge of data networking /electronics/radio broadcasting? Making a patent invalid due to obviousness.
Even if it's not is it not essential to the implementation of GSM and CDMA standards, meaning the patent would have to be licensed under FRAND making it of relatively low value?
That's not how FRAND works
In order to be subject to FRAND terms, you have to MAKE your patent part of the standard. If I write up a standard that Infringes your patent, but you are not involved in the creation of that standard,that doesn't mean your patent is automatically subject to FRAND terms. Only those contributing to the standard are subject to the terms.
If things worked your way, we would just start writing standards willy-nilly to make patents useless.
If its still listed as held by BT then that kinda suggests that it has been acquired by Steelhead Licensing fairly recently....... and in the current climate I just cant see BT selling off such a valuable patent. Something smells fishy here. My first thought was that BT was using Steelhead to front its patent litigation, but BT have denied that.....
On the face of it, this patent is ligit, and world + dog will indeed owe copious amounts of money to the rights holder
BT must be stupid
If BT had a patent with that much potential for earning money then why didn't it use it?
Re: BT must be stupid
Because of realities of the way the Magical Universe is designed. Spend a couple of years of your life in the Magical Kindom of Stormhold and you will see why.
How to get there: drive all the way from Ipswitch to the village of Wall (it is called Martelsham these days), get past the guard on the wall and enter the magical kingdom. Beware of what you see and beware - if you have overstayed your welcome, getting back into the real world may end up being very difficult.
Re: BT must be stupid
It's Ipswich :)
Stormhold (Adastral Park) is very magical, if you like plastic passes with your name on, you need a different one for every bloody department, only somone with invisiblity would get in
surely ITU specs were patented
The ITU specs which were documented most likely way before this.... which would override any trolling patents! should take precendence!

Re: Company needs to do their researchhhh
Lacks the words 'on a mobile device' though, apparently nowadays that's enough to make something novel!
Re: Company needs to do their researchhhh
ITU-R deals with radiocommunications
Re: ITU-R deals with radiocommunications
so do mobile phones....
Am I missing something?
What's h323 (a signalling Codec) go to do with this patent?
Of course, one could look at prior art
In the form of US patent #4692761. While it involves using power lines as a communication medium, but the rest of it works on finding adaptive paths using signal-to-noise ratio.
Why do I know this? I helped in the patent application (but not the patent, so my name isn't on it).
Runs out this year... 20 years from initial filing in 1993. So, they're basically giving it a go before it runs out.
BT's motives
Hmm, I don't think BT come out of this squeaky clean. They sold a wide-ranging patent to a patent troll during its last year of validity for (one would assume) a lot of money. If you sell an assault rifle to a homicidal maniac then you can't distance yourself from his killing spree. Unless you use NRA logic.
A mix tape of hair metal ballads for you
This tech was a big deal towards the end of the 1980 decade when analog cordless phones talked to your landline base station at tens of MHz and Radio Shack still had electronics. First cordless phones had a sliding frequency switch on the handset and base. Next they had a frequency hopping button on the handset. Finally they hopped frequencies themselves. No multiplexors, no QAM, no side bands, and no codecs; just simple 1980s analog processing. Good luck with the trolling.

We look after properties in Witney, Banbury, Bicester, Swindon and Aylesbury, but we don't need a branch in every town.
Gatekeeper staff work together, sharing knowledge in one central office.
Our local teams maintain a focus on their areas by getting out to visit more properties and speak to more customers than traditional agents.
Hi I'm Mat, the Sales Director and one of the four founders of Gatekeeper. I've headed up the Sales and Letting team from day one and it's my job to ensure that they're always as driven and passionate as I am.
As we all work out of the same office I get to see every member of the team daily. This means that we have a really close knit team that focuses on what's important.
At Gatekeeper we have always stayed true to our original vision of looking after property as if we were selling or letting for a close friend. This is reflected in our businesses success. I believe this is one of the reasons landlords, vendors, purchasers and tenants keep coming back to us.
Hello, I'm Phil, one of the four founders of Gatekeeper and Director of Sales and Letting in Swindon. In 2003 I qualified as an estate agent with the NAEA and also as a mortgage advisor. Since then I have looked after most of our landlords and vendors by valuing property and discussing how to make the most of their properties.
For me it is about helping people, making the most from their investment and making sure our customers receive a service that they simply can't find elsewhere.
Hello, I'm Vanessa and one of the four founders of Gatekeeper and the Director of Finance. I've worked in every department of Gatekeeper but originally my background was in customer service for both Mothercare and Gap.
In 2006 I qualified as an estate agent and set up the Property Care Team. Since then, our team has grown but retains the core values we cherish as a business. We all work together, which means we share knowledge without losing focus on our local markets. It has been brilliant to see our business grow as we look after more and more customers.
Hello I'm Patrick, Managing Director and one of our founders here at Gatekeeper. I helped set up Gatekeeper together with Mat, Phil and Vanessa as a result of receiving poor service from High Street agents ourselves. We thought there must be a better way to sell and let property and didn't shy away from doing things differently.
Since then, use of clever software and a unique approach has enabled us to offer better service and make our customers' properties work harder for them. We looked at everything from automatic rent reviews to reducing the void periods between lets and it really excited us.
Since then, we have come a long way. With help from lots of customers (who consistently provide an overwhelming response to our surveys) we are constantly improving what we do to offer you more.
Being straight talking is at the heart of what we do.
We actively seek our customers' honest feedback and although we're not afraid to share it, we're only really happy when we receive great reviews.
Our recommended ratings below show the percentage of our customers who rated us as 'recommended' or 'fantastic'.

Old Maui Island Plan Maps
Council's General Plan Committee 1:30pm Thursday, March 1 and 15
Comparison of three proposed maps:
2. 2010 Planning Director
3. 2012 Planning Director
B Waihee village — GPAC and 2010 Director recommended "Country Town". 2012 Director recommends a RGB. GPAC recommended an increase in the 'country town' area.
C Wailuku Country Estates — 2012 Director recommends Rural Growth Boundary. Is Rural Growth Boundary appropriate for an agricultural sub-division?
D Greenbelt clearly defining Wailuku + Kahului — giving each town its own identity.

South Central Maui Comparison of three proposed maps:
2. 2010 Planning Director
3. 2012 Planning Director
D Greenbelt clearly defining Wailuku + Kahului — giving each town its own identity.
E Greenbelt between Maui Lani and proposed Waiale, with no UGB around the entire Central Maui urbanized area.
F GPAC intended that there be a significant greenbelt between Wailuku and Waikapu. 2010 and 2012 Director placed 200 units in that area, reducing the separation.
G Waikapu — GPAC and 2010 Director indicated a UGB. 2012 Director recommends a RGB.
H Waikapu Mauka – 2010 and 2012 Directors added these rural area to the GPAC's Waikapu Urban Growth Boundary.
I Waikapu Makai – GPAC limited size of UGB. 2010 and 2012 Directors recommended a larger UGB.
J Waikapu Makai East — 2012 Director added even more to UGB.
K Puunene Baseyard – 2010 and 2012 Directors recommend a larger UGB than the GPAC.

If you can't come, send comments to the General Plan Committee: firstname.lastname@example.com
Here is what the Planning Director is now proposing and it is different from what the GPAC and Planning Commission recommended. There are significant changes to both text and maps. http://www.co.maui.hi.us/archives/201/120517a.pdf
• REAL UNIT NUMBERS: ask General Plan Committee to discuss real numbers of units/ not vague shapes on a map. NOTE: New planning director wants Council not to look at Kihei numbers because they are HUGE!
• REASONABLE GROWTH: Remember- 4,000 NEW units are already completely approved, but not built in Kihei-Makena Mauka of Piilani- no more than 1,000 new units are needed over 20 years. Makai- of Piilani- 400 new "infill units beyond already approved projects Total 1,400 new units. (number forecasted by COUNTY STUDIES to meet Kihei- Makena demand till 2030). (NOTE recently released Planning Department maps would allow THREE TIMES THAT AMOUNT (3,350 mauka units!!)
• NO NEW GROWTH AREAS IN MAKENA Makena Resort already has 1,000 acres with urban entitlements. They have pushed the planning department to add 390 MORE acres around the North Makena Golf course to the Urban Growth Boundary. GPAC, Maui Plan Commission, and former Planning Director all reviewed and rejected this request over the last 5 years. It is not needed!
• COMPACT GROWTH BOUNDARY: Three Kihei "growth areas" are proposed on NEW maps, in addition to approved , but not built, new "towns" of Makena (1,000 units) and Wailea 670 (1,150 units) .
ONE new area would be plenty. Some groups are supporting a more compact growth boundary centered around the Maui High Tech park (1,200 new residential units proposed ) and new High School and connecting with the existing core of the Kihei community.
• PROTECTION FOR NATURAL GULCHES AND RUGGED NATIVE FOREST AREAS IN KIHEI Latest Planning Dept maps (released May 23, 2012) don't show most of Kihei- Makena's gulches and do not indicate that native forest areas exist in the southern area of Wailea 670, the protected Palauea cultural preserve or the County owned lands along Kamaole gulch.
- Ask that all gulches be shown as "sensitive lands".
- Ask that the native dryland forest areas of Palauea and
- Kamaole be shown on the Kihei-Makena Protection Area maps in the Plan. Support the Protection Areas shown in green on the maps for Kealia Pond and Makena-La Perouse-Kanaio.

Almost half of the people in this world love music. I too am a music lover and love to attend music events. The poster of sparkle is really awesome and attractive. Music events should be managed very prudently because it involves loads of audience especially when the event is of sparkle. I really admire u sparkle. http://www.recordahit.com/streetsigns.html
Sparkle Official Movie Poster
Sparkle is a good movie and its poster is awesome. Here, I want to specify something related to cars. Those who have cars must have to do proper maintenance of the vehicle else they have to face problems related to their cars. So, it is preferable to do proper maintenance of the vehicle and service the car in proper interval of time so that we can not face any engine related problems. Also, if we notice any car related problems then it is preferable to go for a car repair center near to the locality and get the car re[paired and avoid car related problems like car crash, car accident and vehicle breakdown. When I notice any bug related to my Audi then I prefer to go to the best Audi repair center in Wilsonville OR to get my car repaired.

Kansas City Food Circle Member Grower
Herb'n Gardener
Lew Edmister
921B West 17th Street
Kansas City, MO 64108
Phone: 816-842-4432
email: herbngardener (@ )kc.rr.com
Lew's urban "farm" is comprised of two separate large city lots in the Westside neighborhood of KCMO which were previously abandoned and allowed to seriously degrade. The overall combined size of the space is just over a quarter acre, which is terribly small in "farm" terms, but Lew has developed a somewhat unique way to hyper-produce organic veggies and herbs in this small space. Through a great deal of work and patience, he has improved the soil greatly, by using only natural fertilizers, soil amendments, companion and interplanting practice and natural pest controls.
During 2010, Lew built a large, wood-fired clay bread oven for baking rustic sourdough breads to sell through his CSA and at farmers' markets. The bread is an integral portion of Lew's CSA program, but may be purchased in a bread-only CSA.
All growers tend to have items they prefer to grow or grow well. Lew has a knack for green stuff, meaning salad greens, braising greens, kales, collards, and a huge variety of herbs (both culinary and medicinal). There are also lots of heirloom tomatoes, french filet beans, pole beans, scallions, shallots, bulb fennel, and probably some very sexy and oddly arty melons. CSA members will also benefit from the ears of heirloom white corn, on which the cucumbers and beans climb on their way to maturity. When Lew isn't able to be grow in enough quantity to take to market, the harvest will be held exclusively for CSA members.
No labor will be required of Lew's CSA members this year, but volunteer help will be greatly appreciated during planting time. If you happen to have a weird relative who doesn't want a CSA share but likes to wallow in the dirt, have them give Lew a call!
Lew sells at BADSEED Farmers' Market and in the courtyard at 17th and Belleview, KCMO.

Add the water to a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
How to Deep Cleanse the Scalp With Witch Hazel
Witch hazel bark and leaves are used as an astringent in many hair and facial treatments. Using witch hazel leaves, apple cider vinegar and boiling water, you can make a cleansing rinse. Both the vinegar and witch hazel are excellent for removing residue and buildup on the scalp. You should use a witch hazel rinse at least once or twice a week for the best results. If you have oily hair, the witch hazel rinse can be used more often to deep cleanse your scalp more thoroughly.
Things You'll Need
- Saucepan
- 3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 2 sprigs of witch hazel
- 2 cups boiling water
- Container
- Shampoo
Turn the heat to medium-low once the water is boiling and add the vinegar and witch hazel. If you can't find sprigs of witch hazel use 10 to 20 leaves.
Steep the mixture for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn the stove off and continue to steep the mixture for another 30 minutes.
Pour the witch hazel mixture into a container and let it cool.
Wash your hair with shampoo first and rinse thoroughly.
Use the witch hazel rinse next and massage it into your scalp. You can either rinse the mixture out or leave it in to help condition your hair.

There's a huge convention going on at Century II right now that's drawn thousands of people from all over the country and beyond to Wichita.
It's the National American Rabbit Breeders Association Convention and our local economy is reaping the benefits.
Allan Ormond grew up on a ranch in Utah. When he married Becky and moved to the suburbs, he says it was time to find a different animal to raise.
"Cause you can't keep a cow in your backyard in your subdivision so I got rabbits," Ormond said.
30 years later, the Ormonds say their hobby has gotten a little out of control.
"Just this year alone, since January, I have flown over 60,000 miles for rabbits and I'm not done because I have to go to Japan," Ormond said.
Apparently, traveling far and wide is just part of the business. There are more than 3,000 rabbit breeders at the convention from all over the country.
All of the travelers needed a place to stay for the five day event.
"Everything downtown is full. I don't think you can get a room downtown and there's several outlying, I know we have people as far out as Ridge Road and as far out as Webb Rd," convention chairman, Tom Little said.
When it's time to break for meals, the crowds pour into downtown Wichita.
"Yes, we've been out to eat a lot," Becky Ormond said.
"We've had a couple large parties of bunny convention representatives. The influx of people we love to see that here at Larkspur it's just fantastic," Shannon Hawkins, manager at Larkspur Bistro and Bar, said.
Event organizers say by the time the convention is over, it will have brought about two million dollars to the local economy.
The convention ends early Wednesday morning.

Publicis Chemistry hires Brooks to lead £50m EE account
Publicis Chemistry has made three senior hires, including Andrew Brooks, a global group director on Reckitt Benckiser at Havas, as a managing partner to lead the EE direct marketing account.
Mike Welsh: chief executive of Publicis Chemistry
Brooks joins in the new role to boost the EE business, which the agency won in May 2012 when it was valued at £50 million.
He joined in late December and has since hired Patrick Dent from JWT London as a business director on EE. At JWT, Dent was a board account director on The Army, Shell and HSBC.

Mike Welsh, the Publicis Chemistry chief executive, hired Holme to build on the agency's new business wins in 2013, which include Royal Mail, Argos, Garnier, Gü and Hotels.com.
Welsh said: "We have big ambitions for 2014, so I'm delighted to have these incredibly experienced and talented individuals who will bring energy, commitment, and, no doubt, growth and success to the agency."

I would imagine that in time that will be really skewed to the upper end of things and it wont give people a good idea of what a tank's TPS is when they are actually at that stage of progression though.
coolyo has top 20 for each boss now. There still hasn't been enough reports to really get a good sampling, however it still gives a good indication on what people's parses are looking like.
I would imagine that in time that will be really skewed to the upper end of things and it wont give people a good idea of what a tank's TPS is when they are actually at that stage of progression though.
The beast is getting hungrier.
Don't know if anyone answered your question about a mod for cooldown timers tobarstep, but I personally use hourglass. It displays two sets of bars, a smaller one and a larger one (smaller for long CDs and the larger for CDs that are about to expire). Both sets of bars are adjustable through /hourglass by enabling the show anchor option. Both are also scalable.
Hope that helps.
Lore mentioned a calculator/table where you could see the dps your threat output would allow from various classes in the raid.
Could you add that to the shownotes links?
added the link of bagelbite's tps converter for 3 tanking classes to resources.

I just finished listening to this pocast. Good stuff. A question and a comment:
#1 You mention looking at WWS reports and that if swing is your top dmg ability you're doing things wrong. So I checked my latest. Luckily Heroic Strike s my top dmg ability. Then I got to thinking--it should be possible to look at the ratio of one ability to the other to see how close you came to "perfect" rotations. For instance, you would have twice as many devastates as SS and Rev and SS and Rev would be equal.
With a 1.6s sword, I had 112 swings, 34SS, and 30 Rev. GCD being ALMOST equal to a swing I'd have to say I hit SS and Rev almost as often as I could. No?
Anyways my comment:
Omen may not be an ACCURATE way to track TPS but it IS a precise way to track TPS. If, over the course of a 5 minute fight, I glance at Omen every 30 seconds and each time it is within . . . say. . . 200 TPS of each other I can generally say--OK according to Omen I did 1200 TPS. Now this is NOT what my TPS was. But it is a benchmark I can use when switching gear or comparing myself to other tanks. So if another guy tanks the same fight and I see his TPS average out to 1000 I can be pretty sure I out TPS him.
Imagine there's a scale that's 50 pounds off. If you get on and it says you weight 300 pounds it's inaccurate. But if another dude gets on and weighs 250 you know he weighs less than you regardless of his actual weight.
So Omen IS important in measuring our effectiveness as long as you realize how it works. It will overexagerate burst TPS and . . . whatever the opposite of that is. But it is still useful.
I should add that I ALWAYS advise other tanks to hit /omen toggle so that they aren't tempted to look at it in the first place. As tanks, we should be putting out as much threat as we can all the time. So looking at Omen and saying "oh wow they're catching me in threat!" shouldn't really cause you to do anything differently. If there was something you could be doing to raise threat. . . well. . . you should be doing it already!

This week on Postcards, the team explore the picturesque Dandenong Ranges and discover the quaint little villages that lie hidden amongst the hills. Brodie Harper travels to Emerald where she takes a tour of 'The Little White House' – a cottage perfect for couples, and 'The General Food Store' which serves up delicious brunch and lunch dishes. Glen Moriarty takes a scenic drive through the Dandenongs and admires the view from the SkyHigh lookout, before stopping by Red Gum Gallery in Olinda and taking a well-earned rest at the stylish Gallery B&B. Lauren Phillips weaves her way through landscaped gardens in Sherbrooke and stumbles across two charming heritage listed properties – Edna Walling Cottage and Mawarra Manor. She also makes a pit stop at Folly Farm near Olinda where she wanders through 10 acres of private garden and checks out the onsite cosy cottage for two. Finally, Rebecca Judd discovers the picturesque town of Sassafras where she visits Café de Beaumarchais, an eatery that adds a touch of Paris to the village with its chandelier lighting and delicate desserts. She also stops by the recently opened Blackwood Sassafras, an elegant self-contained villa that is fit out with every luxury imaginable – from heated towel rails to fluffy bathrobes.
The Little White House and The General Food Store and Puffing Billy
Located in the quaint hills of the Dandenong Ranges, The Little White House is a couples retreat less than an hour from the city. Situated in Emerald, the one bedroom cottage exudes contemporary luxury and traditional elegance with its high ceilings and white walls. The deluxe double bath is the main feature of the generously sized ensuite and there's a fully equipped kitchen to cook up a delicious breakfast.
Or if cooking on holidays isn't your style then why not treat yourself to a meal at the nearby General Food Store in Emerald. The General Food Store opened in July last year and is a breath of fresh air for foodies in the hills who demand good coffee and quality café food. Although it may be small in size, the menu really packs a punch with favourites like the Arabesque, which comes with poached eggs, grilled halloumi, house made beetroot relish, hazelnut dukkah and spinach on sourdough. Another one of their hits is the Sultan's Swing – it's a traditional lamb shoulder and prune tagine, served with a simple salad of fennel, pomegranate seeds and mint.
One of the most popular things to do when visiting the Dandenongs is taking a ride on Victoria's most famous stream rain, the Puffing Billy. It stops off at Emerald Lake Park, which is another great attraction in the region. Emerald Lake Park is a beautiful spot to take a stroll, have a picnic or even hire one of their paddle boats!

SkyHigh, Red Gum Gallery and The Gallery B&B – Olinda
The drive from Melbourne to Mount Dandenong takes just under an hour and is a much loved touring route for those who enjoy nothing more than a leisurely cruise. SkyHigh Mount Dandenong sits at the very top of the mountain and is one of the area's most popular tourist attractions. It comprises a viewing deck, a restaurant and bistro, a function space and surrounding gardens. The SkyHigh deck sits at 633 metres above sea level and the panoramic views of Port Phillip Bay that can be seen from it are simply spectacular. There is a giant chair and maze for the kids in the surrounding gardens, as well as barbecues and picnic areas. SkyHigh is also home to one of the state's most stunning function spaces that can be transformed into the ideal wedding venue and downstairs the SkyHigh bistro and restaurant offers casual dining where there's always something special on the menu.
As you drive back down the mountain you'll pass through the town of Olinda, which has some great places to grab a bite to eat and some beautiful local antique stores such as 'Mangana', where you'll find a huge range of interesting treasures on sale. Just a few doors down is Red Gum Gallery which showcases the work of local artists with its wonderful range of paintings, red gum sculptures, pottery, glass and jewellery. With works from nearly 40 different artists on display, you might just find the perfect gift for that special someone.
If you're loving life on the mountain and you're not ready to leave after just one day, there are some great places to stay overnight. Gallery B&B in Olinda offers some of the best accommodation you'll find in the Dandenong Ranges. Gallery B&B is one of the mountain's newest additions and has been designed and built with sustainability, luxury and privacy in mind. Nestled on 1 ½ acres of gardens and surrounded by farmland, this former art gallery is now a spacious, self-contained cottage for two that is equipped with a queen sized bed, double spa bath, modern kitchen, a gas log fire and a private veranda with an outdoor setting. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook a delicious breakfast including local free-range bacon and eggs, gourmet cereals, organic muesli, organic yoghurt, juice, freshly ground coffee and array of specialist teas, not to mention the owners' home-made jams! This stylish, romantic retreat has everything you need!

Edna Walling Cottage and Folly Farm
Deep in the villages of the Dandenong Ranges lie hidden pockets of horticultural history. Many of these secret gardens are heritage listed and some were designed by one of Australia's leading landscape designers, Edna Walling. Several properties with Edna Walling gardens provide self-contained accommodation, such as The Grove, where you'll find two heritage listed houses. Just metres from Sherbrooke Forest is Edna Walling Cottage. It contains a lounge, kitchen and bathroom downstairs with a queen sized bedroom upstairs in the dormer roof. Mawarra Manor is The Grove's other heritage listed house. It was built in 1932 but has been updated along the way to include a European kitchen and enough room for up to six guests. There's a beautiful lounge room overlooking the gardens and an enormous indoor avocado shaped heated pool, sauna and gymnasium.
You can also see Edna's trademark dry stone walls and pathways in the garden at Folly Farm near Olinda, which was designed and planted in the 1930s and is now classified by the National Trust. The cottage at Folly Farm was planned as a packing office for the farm's blueberry crop, but at some point during construction the vision shifted from functional to fabulous. It's now a cosy retreat for two and the guest book tells of many romantic evenings, two of which involved marriage proposals. The spacious cottage is wheelchair accessible and has been built in the same fashion as the property's 1912 farm house, with polished timber floors, high ceilings and a four-poster bed. It has been decorated with a hint of French provincial inspiration, and its pantry comes stocked with home baked bread, farm fresh eggs and local bacon for breakfast.

Blackwood Sassafras, Cafe de Beaumarchais
One of the must visit places in the Dandenongs is Sassafras and these days there is a new and very stylish place that you can stay at which is located just off its main street. The recently opened Blackwood Sassafras located on the corner of Mt Dandenong Tourist Drive and Woodlands Avenue is a stylish abode that has been decorated in the pared back French Country tradition. Understated elegance is the order of the day for this one bedroom, self-contained villa that features every luxury imaginable from heated towel rails and underfloor heating to fluffy bathrobes. A continental breakfast and mini bar is available or a cooked breakfast delivery can also be organised. A kitchenette along with a comfortable lounge and dining space completes the picture. Even though this place is a cosy hideaway there's also free Wi-Fi and Foxtel for those who don't like to venture too far away from their city lifestyle.
There are plenty of coffee pit stop options along the popular Sassafras shopping strip such as the very classic Miss Marple's Tearoom, the Black Kettle Café which make their own crumpets and Ripe – one of the more popular cafes that sells produce as well. But it's Café de Beaumarchais that adds a slice of Paris to the village with its chandelier lighting and delicate desserts.
