Now we're talking

In Britain today, there are about 50,000 practitioners of alternative medicine, but only about 30,000 qualified doctors.

History of Medicine All dates are approximate :P
2000 BC - Here, eat this root.

1000 AD - That root is heathen, say this prayer

1850 AD - That prayer is superstition, drink this potion

1940 A.D. -That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill.

1985 A.D. -That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic.

2000 A.D. -That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root.

Well, that tempted fate quite nicely :P

Only milestone I want A-Rod to achieve is getting his first World Series ring, don't know if it'll happen since there's no guarentee.

Well, let's just concentrate on getting to the postseason first. I know you can't do too much coming up to the all star break, but we'll just wait and see. At least the Yanks are handily placed and hopefully are looking forward to performing well against the Red Sox in the second half.

To be honest, I think Ace is making a case to put himself into the rotation proper when Wang returns and send Joba back into the pen.

This healthy competition couldn't hurt, as it pushes the players to get the best out of them.

Mr. Ambassador, we must stop all of this bloodshed. We have all seen too many body bags and ball sacks.

He says, "we must stop all the bloodshed" I'm pretty sure. :P

Now that's just far too picky for my liking.

I feel like I'm Fry and you're Melllvar from Where No Fan Has Gone Before, only it's Futurama we're fighting about, not Star Trek.

"You have my fan script?"
"I meant me, Melvaar is the ultimate fan!"
"Oh, I was confused, because the scoreboard says something different."

Also, why would you feel like you're Fry? You're the one that corrected me:

"You know, you and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could have called you friend."
"Episode 10 - Balance of Terror."
"More like Episode 9, loser. In your face! Victory is mine! Hehe! Hehe! Hehe!"

It's kind of a grey area - the work that you make must be your own. No photographs, as photography is not art in the sense that we are trying to promote in the portal.

Some things you can make with Photoshop can be hand drawn (i.e. you used the paintbrush tools and actually drew stuff), without actually 'using your hands' to draw :P

If you're using it to chop and change images to make a signature, you need to ensure that you've not used photographs (unless they're photographs of your own work, such as sculptures) and go from there.

Of course he will, he did claim to try and post more often and not leave it too long.

It's a question of perspective for how long is too long. Clearly our opinions differ to his :P

I know that, but I also know that you still wouldn't be on the list with around 9,000 Blams. I' ve only got about 205 accounts on the spreadsheet so far and it might get expanded when I get a few more accounts to track with over 10,000 Blams.

Yeah, it was only 7 :P

Dude, I'm pretty sure there are some who would kill for 8 blams in a day about now with their current blam rates. #;-}>

If people want Blams, they can get them themselves from the portal - I've got a decent streak going now and I don't want to lose it. Maybe even a shot at the top 70 coming up :)

In fact, I'm pretty sure that NEVR is one of them, judging from a post I remember catching up on in the EGRL yesterday. I believe he has a 2 blams/day rate and is very upset it's stuck there.

That's because he doesn't do too much on the portal any more :(

Whats this Jew boy you think you could have passed me in B/P, If so then if I B/p when I started and got 80 a day from 2002 to 2007 then 50 You wouldn't even be remotely close to me. Why 80 because I have gotten 100 paces and averaged 50 some of the time. Although if you b/p'ed from day one then you would have passed me. 40 lets say as an average with 600 point difference only 15 days uhhhh.

Well, that only shows one thing to me - my pace has steadily increased over 5 years, while yours is erratic. I proved this to Dream-of-Duke a while ago that a consistent pace will win out in the end.

I'll see you after I reach 60k ;)

Update #15
An interesting month for most - I'm actually glad to see a lot of activity around here again. Some guys who have lain dormant for some time have sparked into life and given this place a shot in the arm. We're still around the 7,000 Mark for the month, but the signs of life are here to see.

And of all the potentials on the list, I think that Haggard's gain of 404 was most impressive. I'm expecting him to join the ranks of this list within the year. That's your long term forcast for improving the gains of the list as a whole, so we'll see what happens.

Oh yeah - Patcoola joined the top 100, displacing FIGMENTUM. Congratulations.

Well, it probably only takes him an hour or two to update the list - most of it is a spreadsheet that you input the raw data into and then pull out the tables.

Coop prepares to go through a gruelling exercise regime, by congratulating:
Odyssic: Level 33
Metal-Therapy: 40,000 Total Points
Greenfrost6: 1,000 Medal Points
Kaytee: Lieutenant General
Fro: 11,000 Medal Points; 8,000 Experience; 555 Reviews (Audio)
aldlv: 2nd NG Berfday
BrianEtrius: Private 1st Class

Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows
Stealer's Wheel - Stuck in the Middle With You
Reel Big Fish - Alternative, Baby
Alice Cooper - No Baloney Homosapiens

At least myself and Hacsev can pay attention :P

I still have to do that, but I finished the quest in Everlight. Have you made mistakes in Overlord, like hitting a bomb then it kills all your minions.

Yeah - the wasteland killed 15 of my level 8 or 9 browns off :(

Either way, I can still bug him on Steam about posting here again. He said he might post this weekend, but I need to make sure he IS paying a visit then.

Well, we'll get him to post here at some point, no doubt

On a sadder note, I lost 36 posts today...oh well.

Seriously, we don't care about either of these things.

1) NG Log is great and I'm sure you are full of the joys for this stat
2) You can always go back to the BBS and make more posts. No spam though, just for getting the post count back, okay ;)

Yeah, it's something that we cannot over-emphasise

There's no stat threads because there is already this stat thread and all the other ones would be superfluous.

Well, not quite like that - stat threads are still banned, but this is one (along with the list threads) that the Mods allow to remain, because it keeps all of the stat-whorish discussion in the same place.

And as for the list topics, they aren't represented by anything else on site, so they are tolerated, so long as the spam stays down.

Look at Sanchez' face when Uribe boots the ball

On a related note, it's funny to think that Johnson got injured to give Sanchez his chance. If he can maintain his control while Johnson is on the DL, one of the other starters might be demoted when the big unit returns.

A-Rod's 1 home run from tying Rafael Palmeiro for 10th all time now. Give it a week and maybe he'll be standing alone in 10th place?

The admins are hard at work, Bless them. I'm sure everything will work out fine - perhaps even better :P

Exactly - not even us Review Mods need to know this information. Hell, most of the admins probably don't care how many you need either :P

Well, they are Geordies, so they will need to make sure that the supporters are standing in the stands wearing very few clothes.

NB - Newcastle's local climate is a more extreme version of Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Gateway Arch, St. Louis, MO
Mount Rushmore, Keystone, SD

I think that's about the five most recognisable structures. If you're going to count Mount Rushmore, you might want to go as far as mentioning at least Lake Michigan, though Rushmore is man-made (sculpted), rather than the great lake, which is mostly natural.

If you're got some bench space, certainly so - pick him up, then play the percentages with him. The rest of my team is average at the moment, so it can be worth it :P

He could have gone for more, but the Rangers, who usually break the bank have been relatively restrained in their pursuit, to be frank.

Acquisition has got to be Toronto. I mean, they got Jonas "THE MONSTER" Gustavsson! (I kid).

That's not a bad pickup at all. I wish the Avs could pick up a Goalie like that :( Instead, we retained Budaj and allowed Raycroft to walk to Vancouver >:(

Also, it's sad to see Joe Sakic retire - one of the best players and opne of the most respected professionals that are out there in the modern sporting scene. His two Stanley Cup championships helped to put Colorado on the Hockey Map and hopefully, we'll be seeing some more competitive teams from Denver in the NHL over the next few seasons.

Who's going to be the Captain now? Hejduk? Stastny? Lyles?

And for fuck's sake, never put in your password for Newgrounds unless it's on a page you manually brought yourself to.

I echo Slash's sentiments here - Common sense should be your greatest ally. To this end, if you don't know the sender, don't click the link. To be super safe, right click on the link, select "copy link location" and paste it into a notepad file. If that url looks suspect, don't click it.

Also, think "Is my password safe?" You could be the next target for whatever reason.

1) Give it time - not too many people come here looking to answer questions.

2) Try the Flash Forum for answers of this nature - you're more likely to get assistance from the right people.

3) I don't personally know, as I'm not a flash artist.
