Too bad for those you fancy that with GR!

[Get Real!]

Sometimes it is better to turn a blind eye if you are in danger of upsetting someone. It's called tact!

Hmm, sounds like an admirable enough theory Niki so let's see what you've got for us...

Looks like Niki tactfully tossed her theory out the window!

Wine facts !!!!
It has been said that wine is mankind's most ancient medicine.
Cheers to that indeed!
There are a few passions in life that are both enjoyable and beneficial to health at the same time. It is perhaps why wine drinking is becoming such a fad in even the non-traditional Asia region.

While there were initial claims that the benefits of wine were folklore created by wine makers to propogate wine drinking, increasing research by many reputable research centers have concluded that it is indeed no folklore. In fact, they discovered many other benefits of wine as well! Here are some of them:

Heart Disease
Wine is a vasodilator that helps reduce the risk of cardiac diseases including angina and stroke. It helps in two ways. Red wines have HDL (a good cholesterol) that drives the bad cholesterol from the arteries. Red wine also contains an antifungal compound called Resveratrol that can lower serum cholesterol.

Digestion
Wine stimulates flow of gastric juices to enhance the digestive processes. It has also shown that wines kill cholera bacteria and can combat typhoid.

Vitamins and Minerals
Wine contains utilizable minerals of potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, Vitamin B and P.

Viruses
Red wines have polyphenols that are effective against some viruses.

Aging
Elderly people who drink moderate amounts are less prone to disability due to mental illness. Some attribute it to the mineral boron which helps older women to maintain their oestrogen which in turn enables them to absorb calcium.

Cancer
Red wine contains a strong anti-cancer agent known as quercetin which becomes active in the body when the grape juice ferments or the body digests food. Wine also contains gallic acid, an acknowledged anti-carcinogenic.

Stress
Wine is a mild tranquilizer that can help reduce stress, which in turn can help prevent certain forms of cancer.

Kidney
Wine can enhance the alkaline reserves, effectively combating kidney acidosis.

Migraine
Red wine inhibits an enzyme called PST-P which detoxifies all sorts of bacteria in the stomach. The absence of PST-P is linked to migraine.

And here are some famous quotes on wine :


"Nectar of the Gods"
"Wine is the most civilized thing in the world."
Ernest Hemingway


"A bottle of wine begs to be shared; I have never met a miserly wine lover." >>> See what I mean about SEX !!

Clifton Fadiman


Galileo said
“Wine is light held together by water”.

May be one day we can sip some red together and discuss the merits of all the benefits like real men.

The wanting to look like a real man came from you and the reluctance to drink wine with other men GR. I just tactfully changed the words a little. Sissy is far more tactful than 'big girl's blouse' don't you think?

Hmm, methinks a skimpy jello wrestling fight between Phoenix and Niki is in order…

Phoenix how can you possibly think this man is a Grandmaster??? Methinks you like the idea of skimpy jello wrestle for GR? I'm afraid you'll have to get another partner, my jello wrestling days are over!

HOW TO RESIGN GRACEFULLY by Bill Wall

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you play on in a dead lost position because you don't know how to resign gracefully to your "lucky" chess opponent? Do you feel embarrassed to resign too soon with a large crowd looking over your shoulder? To admit defeat because you were outplayed or that your opponent is better than you (never mind his higher rating; you have always been underrated) is unheard of in chess. I have never seen a chessplayer whose eyes were not gleaming with murderous revenge after losing.

The act of resigning gracefully is an art few have mastered. In theory, the simple task of resigning gracefully consists of gently, but firmly, picking up your king and laying him on his side while simultaneously saying, "I resign" in a distinct manner. You then extend your right hand and congratulate your deserving opponent for a fine game, shaking his hand with dignity and pride.

In practice, however, other methods of resigning are more commonly employed. One popular method when using your opponent's pieces is to gently, but firmly, pick up the king, then hurl it as far as you can across the tournament room, knocking the rest of the pieces over, while simultaneously saying a host of profanities in a wild and crazy manner. The opponent's board sometimes comes crashing down his head as an extra gesture of a well fought game. Another gesture of the and and middle finger may follow.

Another popular method of resigning is the extension of the right arm towards your opponent. At first, the gesture looks like a friendly handshake. But as the arm gains momentum, the open hand becomes a closed fist gaining acceleration towards the nose of the unsuspecting opponent. For hypermodern players, both arms are extended towards the opponent. The hands stay open but placed around the neck of the opponent who is then shaken vigorously until the opponent's face turns a dark blue color. Usually, the tournament director intervenes at this point to make sure the game is over.

Here are some guidelines for chessplayers on how to act after a hard-fought game of chess.

FOR THE WINNER

1 Be tolerant. Why tell your opponent how badly he played?

2 Remember, you never had an inferior position.

3 Tell your opponent he played well but needs to work on his opening, middlegame, and endgame.

4 Remind your opponent that he played his moves too fast and careless.

5 Recommend some beginner chess books to your opponent to improve his play. Books by Reinfeld should work.

6 Invite him to stay longer and analyze the game for all of his mistakes.

7 Challenge your opponent to another friendly match at your convenience.

8 Try not to laugh at your opponent.


FOR THE LOSER

1 Be tolerant. At least you know your opponent got lucky.

2 Remember, you never had an inferior position (until the blunder of the last move).

3 Tell your opponent he should have lost because of his poor opening, middlegame, and endgame.

4 Remind your opponent that he played too slow and delayed the game.

5 Recommend some better playing conditions next time.

6 Tell your opponent you must go and already late for an appointment because of his slow play.

7 Challenge your opponent to another revenge match at a more suitable time.

8 Try not to cry in public.
