Classic Love Songs

Well Nakamura is probably still the better bullet (1 min.) player.

But I think they only care about that on ICC.

That bouncer had a lot of extra fat as part of his 300 lbs.

But Kimbo was 260 lbs. of mostly muscle.

@crackernumber2 There were TWO bouncers, one on camera and the other working the camera. The little guy didn't have a chance against two big guys in a locked bathroom. He did the right thing by allowing himself to be robbed. The bouncer has since been arrested and is very likely to do prison ti...

This video is really instructive. It highlights very clearly that when you get right down to the real basis of the Christian 'gospel' it is nothing but an un-verifiable threat. If you don't fear that threat then it really has no power at all. Very sad.

@Prodigalfather1 it is not my duty to reconcile the OT with the teachings of Jesus since I do not believe that the god of the Bible is "unchanging". I see the entire Bible as a collection of disparate writings concocted by dozens of people over many centuries. As to being a "novice", I don't aspi...

@georgegrasser I discovered years ago and continue to have confirmed to me that USCF usually ignores people with problems. They don't have time for problems or even for promoting chess. They are only interested in collecting their fees and flying around the country first class. And they even refu...

Buy cheap flypaper and put it everywhere they crawl. Every roach that gets stuck on the flypaper is not going to reproduce.

All USCF knows how to do is collect fees. And what exactly do they do for all that money? Enter results into a computer - that's it! Everything meaningful is done by the tournament organizers and directors. USCF isn't worth the money and people just pay it for the same reason that they put up wit...

The Swastika is an ancient Aryan symbol representing eternity. To this day it still adorns Hindu temples all over India. Hitler used it to convey the idea of his Reich lasting forever. A cross has also been used to represent hateful movements (the crusades, the KKK, etc.) Context determines every...

His feat was great but I think it was the music combined with his body language that elevated it to art.

They start getting physical at 4:48

@alov121 Thank you for that clarification. Clearly Ivanchuk is stronger NOW but Aronian had been higher rated than him for quite some time. So Kasparov is impressed with Ivanchuk's game but for some reason Anand is more impressed with Aronian's game - in fact I think Aronian has a plus score agai...

That was great! Dionne Warwick also did another great performance of this song, replacing Luther Vandross and Whitney Houston with Elton John and Gladys Knight: youtube(.)com/watch?v=xGbnua2kSa8

It might have been some kind of pheromone in her perfume that set him off.

Bobby's cool but ya gotta love Nat's version too!

I don' think you are quite ready to compare your speed to Yuja Wang! youtube(.)com/watch?v=8alxBofd_eQ

Here is another great performance of Sarah's: youtube(.)com/watch?v=iAWlgdn37Bo

@Schrooms73 I didn't realize women dressed like that in the 1980's.

Fashion has certainly changed a great deal.

My vote for the best two performers of this song are Sarah Vaughan and Mel Torme!

Thank you for posting this!

A burglar would have been in for a very nasty surprise! lol

Do these people actually think that quietly filming a governor making a speech is more disruptive than assaulting someone?!

Pretty in pink!

This video references the site tabooscience(.)com and a visit to it set off the alarms of my anti-virus amid warnings of a 'trojan imposter".

@mrdude999 I don't think police departments train regular officers to go after leg shots (although the SWAT team may try fancy stuff like that). Real shooting situations are often fraught with error and aiming for the torso leaves the least margin for error, maximizing the chances of ending an en...
