I love to play Chess!

Chess is a game, played by two players. One player plays with the white pieces, and the other player plays with the black pieces. Each player has sixteen pieces in the beginning of the game: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns.
The game is played on a chessboard, consisting of 64 squares: eight rows and eight columns. The squares are alternately light (white) and dark colored. The board must be laid down such that there is a black square in the lower-left corner. To facilitate notation of moves, all squares are given a name. From the view of the white player, the rows are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8; the lowest row has number 1, and the upper row has number 8. The columns are named, from left to right, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h. A square gets a name, consisting of the combination of its column-letter and row-number, e.g., the square in the lower left corner (for white) is a1.

white
Alternately, the players make a move, starting with the white player (the player that plays with the white pieces.) A move consists of moving one of the pieces of the player to a different square, following the rules of movement for that piece - there is one special exception, named castling, where players move two pieces simultaneously.
A player can take a piece of the opponent by moving one of his own pieces to the square that contains a piece of the opponent. The opponents piece then is removed from the board, and out of play for the rest of the game.

Blonde Joke Called I whant to Buy that.....

A blonde goes into a nearby store and asks a clerk if she can buy the TV in the corner. The clerk looks at her and says that he doesn't serve blondes, so she goes back home and dyes her hair black. The next day she returns to the store and asks the same thing, and again, the clerk said he doesn't serve blondes. Frustrated, the blonde goes home and dyes her hair yet again, to a shade of red. Sure that a clerk would sell her the TV this time, she returns and asks a different clerk this time. To her astonishment, this clerk also says that she doesn't serve blondes. The blonde asks the clerk, "How in the world do you know I am a blonde?" The clerk looks at her disgustedly and says,"That's not a TV -- it's a microwave!"

St. Patrick's Day!


Clovers bloom in the grass as a sure sign of spring, and if you find a four leaf clover among them, common belief is it will bring good luck.
However, four leaf clovers do not just represent fortune , they are also the universal symbol of St. Patrick's Day.
Traditionally, Christians celebrate St. Patrick and the work he did for Christianity on March 17 each year.
The holiday may mark his death, but some memorialize St. Patrick for the good works he did during his life.
The only thing I have learned about St. Patrick is that he lured the snakes out of Ireland, I never knew much about the holiday or St. Patrick himself, except that St. Patrick did good things for Ireland, so we celebrate him every year.
The story that St. Patrick led snakes out of Ireland is a popular folk tale, but no more than a legend. The patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick is believed to have grown up in Britain, according to the History Channel.
At 16, Patrick was taken prisoner by Irish raiders who held him captive in Ireland for six years. He worked as a shepherd, secluded from the world. In his isolation, he became a devout Christian through reading the Bible.
Once Patrick escaped, he heard a voice in a dream, which he believed to be the voice of God, telling him to leave Ireland and return home to England. In England, he received a second message, this time from an angel, who told him to return to Ireland as a missionary.
Thus, the legend of St. Patrick was born.
All over the world people celebrate St. Patrick's Day, however, the biggest consumer of St. Patrick's Day and its associated commercial products is North America. Corned beef and cabbage are typical elements of the St. Patrick's Day feast, but many will also celebrate by drinking green beer and covering themselves from head to toe in four leaf clovers.

??? Money ???


Is money what the world is all about?
Money growing like a sprout!
If you were rich would you shout?
If you were poor would you pout?
Is money really what the world is all about?
