Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

I've seen somewhere that in Italy there is this island where they found a large number of long-lived people.... and they were talking about eating sugar in general.... chocolate too..... and about the fact that they couldn't understand how could they live so long (almost 114 years - a woman) ....and a guy was saying that sugar won't harm you as long as you don't eat more than 200 grams per day....
I also like chocolate but only if it comes in a glass of Sheridan's :)

Psych is probably under medical, which I think is under sciences. I could be wrong. :hugegrin: But I did check her rank before choosing the name.

But she never does anything sciency or says anything that justifies her rank, "I feel this" or "he's hiding something" is pretty much what anyone could say with good intuition abilities and her abilities tend to change as the plot does.

I guess it depends on each case..... some say it's yogurt, some that it's beer, but most of them that is wine.

Recently I saw this movie with Kevin Kline and Maggie Smith..... it's about an American who inherits an apartment in Paris, apartment inhabited by an old woman....
She was a fan of wine anyway :)

I learned something new today.

When I was a kid, we played a game called "handball," where we took a small rubber ball and hit it against the wall with your hands-- basically, racquetball without racquets.

So...watching the Olympics today and there is a game of handball...but not the handball I knew. This is like mini- soccer, played on a basketball court-type floor, and they play with their hands. Who knew?

Everyone but me, apparently. :lol:

Handball is quite popular in Europe...
It's the same like football (soccer) with the difference that you're not allowed to use your feet but your hands lol :)
I watch only women handball it's much more spectacular than the men variant...

Yeah, I was watching the Olympic Men's--the Denmark vs France. It was a very close match and kind of exciting, even though I really don't understand the rules---but you can pretty much get it just by watching them play. The play is fast like basketball but the method of scoring is like soccer.

It always amazes me how humans make up all these ridiculous ways to play games, and yet how interesting it is to watch people who are really good at playing them.
 
I ain't a handball fan either.... I used to play basketball in high school - I mean professionally for about 2 years....
Lately I do watch a soccer (football) match every once in while or I watch the Las Vegas WSOP :)
I did fell in love into Texas Hold'Em and Omaha :) I do play poker (but never for real money).... just for fun...
Poker has a lot of devoted followers so that it why I like it.
The rules in handball are something like this : no one is allowed to make more than 3 steps by just holding the ball / you're not allowed to hit the ball with your foot / double dribbling - if you hit the ball to the ground , then you stop and then continue hitting it it's considered double dribbling / and for each foul the adversary team gets a 7m throw.
The game is short 2 rounds of 15 minutes each and a break of 5 minutes.

hä?
  • two halves of 30 minutes and 10 minutes pause
  • every foul a 7meter is a funny idea. most fouls just earn you a freet hrow (compoarable to a free kick in football)
  • it's three and a half steps
why are you completely neglecting the no go zone (don't know how that's called in english) in front of the goal?

... btw i do not believe for a second that anyone who has played basketball (professionally or otherwise) would explain double dribbling with anything but just as in basketball

please stop peddling nonsense

Yeah... my fault ... 2x30 minutes each and a 15 minute interval ....
I used to watch some of my colleagues playing handball and volleyball ... therefore I was never a handball fan so....
but the rest of the rules, I think they are OK.
In basketball you have to hit the ball constantly, while in handball you're allowed to make those 3 steps..

you never played basketball, sir - you got two and a half steps (three and a half in the us) in basketball

all your handball rules are wrong and the pause is 10 minutes

Per Memory Alpha:
"Deanna Troi entered Starfleet Academy in 2355. She graduated in 2359, majoring in psychology."
"By 2364, Troi held the rank of lieutenant commander. That year, she was assigned as ship's counselor aboard the USS Enterprise-D."
"Troi tried to pass the Bridge Officer's Test in 2370...[cut for relevance]... Troi went on to successfully pass the test. She was then promoted to the rank of commander and began to include bridge command as part of her duty shifts. With this development, Troi acquired Starfleet status as a line officer, in addition to her previous status as a staff officer."
