This is what used to be the About page for Fishing Denmark:
About Fishing Denmark:This is mostly about flyfishing and fly tying
You've stumbeled upon a Web-site that deals with fly fishing and fly tying.
The site was started a few years back in the stone age of the Internet - meaning the summer 1995. The pages were originally black-and-white only, but slowly grew with a Gallery with color pictures and lately (summer 1997) with a front page in color and all new pages in color too. There are still piles of old B/W pages on the site - which BTW occupies close to 25 megabytes on the server. So there's a lot of stuff here.
I occasionally revise old pages, and some of them get some color additions. Many of them will remain B/W till the end of time, though. Maximize your window size
These pages have been made so that they will fit most screens. I try to keep all pages narrower than 600 pixels. I still recommend that you maximize your browser window or use a window size that's 800 by 600 pixels or something like that. If you are working on a high rez 21" monitor, you might want a window that's not full screen. I don't use frames anywhere. I don't hate them... I just don't like them much. The pictures...
There are a lot of pictures on this Web-site. Many of them are in black and white (on purpose) and all pictures are kept as small and compact as possible. The obvious exceptions are the the Gallery or the Art flies | Fly art sections. If you are on a slow modem connection you might find it a bit on the heavy side, but I've tested it on my own 14,400 bps modem, and it's absolutely tolerable compared to many other sites. This site is NOT under construction!
But... it will be constantly changing. No Web-site should ever be finished. One of the real benefits about publishing on the Web is that you can change your work whenever you like. And -- as the saying goes -- nothing is as old as old on-line infomation. Credits
Some of web pages used to reside on Danica's Web-server which helped Fishing Denmark survice some hard times - thanks to the help and generousity of owner Gert Jensen.
If you have comments on the contents of these pages we'd be more than happy to listen to them. Knæk og bræk!

Dear Viewers and Listeners:
As spring blossoms with new color and life, ETV provides fresh new viewing choices throughout the month of March.
Our March Festival line-up is filled with an abundance of new programs. Musical specials range from A Celebration of Blues & Soul, to Great Performances' Dukes of September, to the nostalgic Big Band Vocalists—something for every taste available. Browse ETV's schedule from March 1–16 for these and other great viewing opportunities.
Public radio listeners nationwide are treated to the newest season of Chamber Music from Spoleto Festival this month. This annual production of ETV Radio highlights the rich tradition of the repertoire, and is hosted by Miles Hoffman with commentary by Geoff Nuttall. ETV Radio producers are in New York this month hosting a musical memorial to the late Marian McPartland, long-time host of Piano Jazz. Some of the biggest names in jazz (and guests on the series) are performing tributes at the 92nd Street Y, which are being recorded for future broadcast.
Also this month, Time Warner Cable Company, which may be the cable provider for many of you, will reconfigure its digital channel lineup. South Carolina ETV's new Time Warner Cable channel number is 1221. The lone exception is Clover, SC, where ETV will be located at channel 1222. Some viewers may need to rescan as a result. Those who already receive ETV on a cable channel below 100 will not be affected.
ETV's South Carolina Channel is also moving to cable channel 1275 and ETV World is moving to channel 1276. The South Carolina Channel features home, hearth and history programming, including the CreateTV block of crafts, a late-night block of PBS KIDS, and local documentary programs. ETV World is the home of ETV's State House coverage Tuesdays – Thursdays. It also broadcasts live newscasts from around the world as well as the PBS west coast schedule.
Thanks for your support during our Festival pledge period, and all year long.

Medical Marijuana School Teaches Growing
Organizers of a medical marijuana "university" in Oregon said the program has helped dozens of people learn how to grow cannabis and use it to manage illness.
The Oregon Medical Cannabis University, which opened last month in Hillsboro, offers classes and contains community centers where students can access the drug, KPTV, Portland, Ore., reported Wednesday.
"We've had people with cancer, Parkinson's, broken bones. We had a guy with hip surgery who was in a wheelchair when he came here and (now) he's walking around with a cane," said Claudia Lavander, the university's president.
Lavander said owners currently fund the school but they hope to eventually fund the classes with membership payments.
- Article from UPI.
Go to the Oregon Medical Cannabis University Website.
For those with a computer its a waste of money
It's great that they have these schools. However for those with a computer it's a waste of money when everything you want to know can be found online.
Everything I know about growing...
Everything I know about growing came from Ed Rosenthal, CC magazine, with some small contribution from the internet.

Windhoek — MPs in the National Council have reached consensus that the Namibian Head of State deserves an increase in his remuneration with some parliamentarians saying the salary increase is long overdue.
The National Council on Monday commenced with the debate on the Presidential Remuneration and Other Benefits Bill 7 of 2012 that seeks to review the remuneration and other benefits paid to the president, as well as the benefits extended to the spouses, and incidental matters. The MPs were all in agreement that the Bill should be passed without further delay.
"Our Head of State is getting paid peanuts compared to [the heads of state of] neighbouring countries," said Isai Kapenambili, Swapo MP and Okahao Constituency Councillor in the Omusati Region.
Kapenambili said the president of South Africa earns R216 611 a month, whereas the Namibian president earns N$104 167 per month. "As our leaders are aging, they are prone to illnesses. Hence, all other benefits should be increased."
Rundu Rural Constituency Councillor and Swapo Party MP, Rosa Kavara, said: "We need to support this Bill. We cannot afford to see our head of state with financial constraints. Our head of state did a lot for us, they paved the way for us. Let us honour them and let's plan and prepare a good future for our presidents when they retire."
Swapo MP and Tsumeb councillor in Oshikoto Region, Lebbius Tangeni Tobias, said in his motivation of the Bill: "I personally feel it is unfair for other [people] in this country to [be paid] higher than the president. Apparently it is so because of the institutions they head and the work they do. Is there anybody who is more accountable than the president of the country? Not at all, when things are not going the direction we want in our institutions, or wherever we are, we all run to the president or we want the president to intervene so that whatever situation is hot should come to normal."
Kilus Nguvauva, Swapo MP and the Steinhausen Constituency Councillor also supported the Bill, saying it is justifiable to remunerate the president with 15 percent more than what the sitting prime minister receives as remuneration.
"Honourable members, our president should be provided with a good salary, allowances, medical aid and other benefits," said Oshakati West Constituency Councillor and Swapo MP, Aram Martin.
The National Council also discussed the amendments to the Former President's Pension and Other Benefits Act of 2004, which Prime Minister Nahas Angula tabled last month.
The amendments seek to adjust the gratuity and housing benefits payable to former Namibian heads of state and their families. Nguvauva wanted clarity on whether the property built or bought by the State for the sitting president would remain property of the State once the president leaves office, or whether the property would become private property for that specific former head of state.
Nguvauva also wanted to know when the spouse and dependent children would cease to enjoy the benefits granted by the amendments in the Bill, in case the former heads of state divorce and remarry or in case the dependent children reach the age of 21 years. "I am asking because it is not clear what will be the case, if the above mentioned scenarios occur," he said.

2.16.13 MEN'S BASKETBALL: Cavs Tames Tiffin Dragons 88-70
Men's Basketball, 2013-02-16
(TIFFIN, Ohio) - Behind five players who scored in double-figures, Walsh avoided a second-half comeback by Tiffin to go on to win by a count of 88-70 in GLIAC action Saturday afternoon. The Cavaliers (16-6, 12-6) have now won three-straight games and move into second place in the South Division after Ashland defeated Hillsdale. The Dragons fall to 9-16 overall and 6-13 in the conference.
The first half was controlled almost entirely by the Cavaliers as they never trailed in the first 20 minutes. The Cavaliers were up by as many as 14 and were tied only once with the Dragons at 6-6. Walsh went into the locker room for halftime up 42-32.
The Cavs nearly led from start to finish with the exception of a run midway through the second half by the Dragons. With Walsh up 55-48 with 13:14 to play in the game, Tiffin chipped away at the Cavs' lead until a 3-pointer by Khaleal McCormick gave the Dragons their only lead at 60-59 with 8:48 to go.
Walsh was very quick to answer as the sharp-shooting Ryan Vanderhorst (Jr., 6-3, New Knoxville, OH/HS) nailed a 3-pointer of his own on an assist from Brad DuPont (Jr., 6-0, Massillon, OH/Jackson/Wheeling Jesuit) 19 seconds later to go back up 62-60. That sparked a 16-1 run over the next four minutes that put the game away for the Cavaliers. Vanderhorst's bonus bomb was one of five on the game as he finished with 15 points on the day coming off the bench.
His mark was only bested by Kenny Kornowski's (Sr., 6-9, Marshallville, OH/Smithville) game-high 24 points in another great performance. He was a rebound shy of recording a double-double. The Cavs' center knocked down 9-of-14 from the field and missed only one of his seven free throws. Kornowski has now made 51-of-80 from the field in the month of February.
Jeff Copeland (So., 6-5, Toledo, OH/St. John's Jesuit), DuPont, and Davonte Beard (So., 6-2, Akron, OH/St. Vincent-St. Mary/Siena) were the remaining three Cavaliers to also reach double-figures. Copeland pitched in 14 and was also a rebound shy of a double-double. DuPont tallied 13 and Beard scored 12.
Overall, Walsh was hot on the floor and made just under half (30-61) of its field goal attempts in the game. The Cavs shot 45.7 percent in the first half and 53.8 percent in the second.
The Cavaliers will now focus on their game with Findlay in a battle of the top two teams in the GLIAC's South Division. The Oilers remain 1.5 games up on Walsh for first place with a 14.5 record. The two squads will tangle this on Thursday with tip-off slated for 6 p.m.

Seeking a confident person who loves to have fun and enjoys dogs
Membership ended on 09/19/2013. I'm a genuinely nice person looking for someone who shares interests with me. Sometimes I'm all about a night of dancing, or going to a sporting event, but I also appreciate spending time with my friends and family.

I consider myself like the girl next door: sweet and kind to everyone I meet. This is why I'm attracted to someone who takes care of himself, a gentleman, someone who is direct, has integrity, honest, self-confident and a positive attitude. Like me, he's interested in being active, healthy, and always ready for our next adventure together. It's important that he loves dogs since I have a great companion already, and that he likes watching baseball, basketball, football, or hockey with me. Most of all though, he's ready for a committed relationship that starts with a friendship with the possibility of becoming more.

Beware of banks increasing transaction speeds
TULSA - Experts at the website LowCards.com say some banks are telling customers it's "improving transaction speeds."
Site employee Bill Hardekopf says one such bank is BBVA Compass.
The change means ATM withdrawals and certain debit card purchases will post immediately.
And online bill payments, automatic debits and checks drawn from accounts will post throughout the day.
The bank is switching from batch processing, which receives transactions throughout the day and enters them into accounts at the end of each business day.
Hardekopf says the faster processing can increase the chances of insufficient funds and overdraft fees because of the unfortunate timing of a deposit or withdrawal.
Deposits may be processed immediately, but all of the funds may not be available right away for withdrawal."
Hardekopf says it's important you keep up with your bank's rules, especially with all that fine print you get in notices from your bank.

While attending Saint Elizabeth's, LuAnn was selected to participate in the Honor Program and was very active in the Elizabethan Education Association, the Glee Club, and the Drama Club.
After graduation, LuAnn accepted a teaching position at St. Virgil School in Morris Plains, New Jersey. During her eight years at St. Virgil's, she taught first second grade and served as the Cantor for all of the school liturgies and religious services.
In the summer of 1986, LuAnn was offered a teaching position with the Morris School District in Morristown, New Jersey. She taught at the Woodland School for three years and was then transferred to the Hillcrest School where she is still teaching today.
While at the Morris School District, LuAnn has taught kindergarten, first grade, and basic skills. In 1993, she was honored with the New Jersey Governor's Award for Teacher of the Year, and in 2001, she received a grant from the Morris Educational Foundation to develop an Emergent Reader Lending Library for her kindergarten classroom.
Besides teaching, LuAnn has a passion for singing and acting. She has been involved with many local community theater groups and has served as a Cantor and choir member at her home parish of Christ the King for over 20 years. She also enjoys working with the children of the parish on their annual Christmas Pageant and the Sixty Minutes to Easter program during Holy Week.

LaSalle's 1954 Title TeamPosted: March 21, 2013 | Author: Johnny Goodtimes | Filed under: Basketball | Tags: 1950s, 1954 LaSalle Explorers, 1954 NCAA Championship, Charles Singley, Frank Blatcher, Ken Loeffler, Tom Gola | Leave a comment »
There was no question who the star of LaSalle's 1954 championship team was. It was #15 Tom Gola, the 6'7″ junior forward who was more or less the original Magic Johnson, a player who would be at center court for jump ball and then moments later be bringing the ball up the court as point guard. But he wasn't only a great ballhandler, he was also a superlative scorer and rebounder, averaging over 23.7 PPG and 21.7 RPG in the 1953-54 season. (He is the NCAA's all time leading rebounder, with 2,201). As the Knicks coach Joe Lapchick stated when asked about Gola in 1954, "Gola is the most completely versatile player in the collegiate game. He can do everything, and do everything amazingly well." According to the 1954 team program, he was "Calm and cool, off court and on. His lacksadaisical air cloaks a fiery competitive spirit." According to his coach, Ken Loeffler, "Tom's poise is his greatest asset."
After a 21-4 start, LaSalle, the winners of the 1952 NIT, were invited to take part in the NCAA tournament. Their toughest test would come in the first round in Buffalo, as they came one second from losing to Fordham. Down by two with five seconds left, Gola took an inbounds pass at halfcourt and whipped a pass to Fran O'Malley, who was waiting under the basket. O'Malley laid it in with one second on the clock, and the game headed into overtime. LaSalle took an early lead in OT and held off Fordham to gain the 76-74 victory, led by Gola's 28 points.
Their next game would be a shootout at the Palestra against a North Carolina State team that had won the first ever ACC tournament a week before in an overtime thriller over Wake Forest. Gola and Charles Singley, the 2nd leading scorer on the 1954 Explorers, each scored 26, and LaSalle poured in 52 2nd half points to win 88-81.
On to the Elite 8, where LaSalle again had a more or less home game at the Palestra against Navy. The game was close early on, and the two teams went into the locker room at halftime tied at 21. But LaSalle coach Ken Loeffler, who the 1954 team program said was "highly regarded as a court strategist by coaching and sports writing fraternities" must have made the right adjustments at the half. LaSalle blew the game wide open in the 2nd half, and waltzed into the Final Four with a 64-48 victory. Gola led the team with 22 points, and Singley poured in another 16.
The team then headed out to Kansas City to play in the Final Four (Where, interestingly, LaSalle plays Kansas State Friday afternoon). The games would take place in Municipal Auditorium (You can check out a pic here of the same arena at the 1957 Final Four, where you will notice #13 on Kansas, who you may recognize as another former Philly superstar). The first game would match LaSalle with Penn State, who had shocked Bob Pettit and LSU in the Sweet 16, then surprised Notre Dame in the Elite 8.
LaSalle would have an unlikely hero in the Final Four. Frank Blatcher (who you can read about here) was a 24-year old sophomore who had done a tour of duty after graduating from Southern. The 6'2″ outside gunner was too much for Penn State in the first Final 4 game, pouring in 19. The Nittany Lions held Gola to a mere 5 field goals, but he still nailed 9 from the line to also finish with 19, and LaSalle won going away, 69-54.
It was onto the championship game, against Bradley. The Braves had shocked the Hank Iba coached Oklahoma A&M (Now OK State) in the Elite 8, then edged USC 74-72 in the Final Four.
The championship game was a thriller…for one half. Bradley took a 43-42 lead into the half, but again it was Gola keying a 2nd half run, and the Explorers ran away with the championship, 92-76. Blatcher again came up huge from the outside, pouring in 23 points. Charles Singley poured in another 23, and Gola added 19, as LaSalle set a new championship game record with 92 points. In the 59 years since, only 3 teams have scored more in the championship.
LaSalle's stars were all juniors and sophomores, and the next year LaSalle made a serious push for back to back titles. But Bill Russell and the San Francisco Dons proved to be a little too much for the Explorers. Gola graduated that year, and the Explorers haven't been back to the Final Four since.
Gola would go on to a successful NBA career, being named an All-Star five times while playing for the Warriors and the Knicks. He later coached the Explorers to a 23-1 record in the 1968 season (one player on that team was Fran Dunphy) while serving as a state representative and running for Philadelphia city controller. He would run for Mayor in 1983, but lost in the primaries. One of the greatest athletes in Philadelphia sports history, Gola passed away in 2014 at the age of 81.

Here's our final list. A bartender who heard the list thought it should have been most under-appreciated, not underrated. "Everybody knew Joe Frazier was great, they just didn't appreciate that he was great." Perhaps a fair assessment, but I guess the final word here is that these are guys who don't get their just due when great athletes in this city come up in conversation, and we want to make sure they don't get overlooked. Whatever word best applies to guys who don't get their just due, please feel free to apply. Feel free to agree, disagree with these in the comments. Thanks to Lalli for helping me put this together.

#1 Most Underrated Philadelphia Athlete of All-Time: Paul ArizinPosted: June 5, 2012 | Author: Johnny Goodtimes | Filed under: Basketball | Tags: Camden Bullets, Paul Arizin, Philadelphia Warriors | 4 Comments »
There is no mystery as to why a man who revolutionized the game of basketball is so underrated. It is because Paul Arizin is, quite simply, a man without a team. While Wilt would make a triumphant return as a Sixer after the Warriors moved, Arizin never got the chance, so his records are kept in the city of Oakland, where he never played a game in his life. Furthermore, he is underrated there as well, simply because he never played there. While the jersey numbers of Tom Meschery (12.7 ppg, 8.6 rpg) and Al Attles (8.9 ppg, 3.5 rpg) hang in the rafters at Oracle Arena, Paul Arizin's #11 is free to any player who wants to wear it, despite his 22.3 ppg and 8.6 rpg. Despite the fact that he has the 3rd most points and 5th most rebounds in franchise history and despite the fact that he was named one of the NBA's 50 All-Time Greatest players in 1996**.
Paul Arizin was born in Philadelphia, and he shockingly did not make his high school team. After high school he went to Nova. He made a name for himself in the Catholic Youth Organization during his freshman year in college. He was approached by then Wildcat coach Al Severance and asked, "How would you like to go to Villanova?" He answered, "I already go to Villanova." He started for the team his sophomore year, and was instantly a superstar. He averaged 20.1 PPG in his career, and despite playing only 3 years is the 5th all time leading scorer in Villanova history. Upon his death in 2006, Jay Wright said, "Paul Arizin was the most dignified, classy and humble legend I've ever met. He is adored and respected by anyone who has touched Villanova basketball."
He was the first pick in the NBA Draft in 1950. He lived up to the billing. He averaged 17.2 PPG and was named the NBA's Rookie of the Year. The next year he led the league in scoring, at 25.4 a clip. But it wasn't just his scoring that electrified the league…it was the way he did it.
When Paul Arizin entered the league, almost every player in the NBA was still utilizing the two handed set shot or the hook shot. The jump shot had been invented in the 1930s, but it was still seen as a circus shot, and was rarely used. Until Paul Arizin came along. Arizin had developed the jump shot as a youngster. As he told the Inquirer in 1998, he learned the shot while playing intramural ball in high school, "Because they held dances in those gyms, the floors would be very slippery. I couldn't get feet set under me to try a hook shot, so I started shooting with my feet off the floor."
Other players had tried, but Arizin was the first bonafied superstar to make the primary weapon in his arsenal. Once Paul became one of the premiere players in the game, other players started emulating him, and by the end of his career, he had relegated the two handed set shot to the same dustbin that held the peach basket and the stitched basketball.
Arizin took off two years to serve during the Korean War, and the Warriors went from contenders to the laughing stock of the league. As soon as he returned, the team improved, and in 1955-56, they won the NBA title, led by Arizin's 24 PPG and 7.5 RPG.
He would maintain a high level throughout his career, averaging 21.9 points and 6.8 rebounds in 1961-62, the final year of his career. When the team decided to move to San Francisco, he decided not to make the trip, despite being the 2nd highest scorer on the team. The Philly native had been offered a job at IBM making more money than he was making in the NBA, and he decided to moonlight with a semi-pro team called the Camden Bullets. He remained in the area for the rest of his life, and passed away in 2006.
He gets to be number one on the list not only because he was one of the greatest basketball players in the history of the NBA, but because he revolutionized how the very sport was played.
**He is one of only three in the Top 50 to not have their jersey retired. The other two were Dolph Schayes and John Lucas. Interestingly, the Sixers are in a very similar situation…Schayes played almost his whole career Syracuse as a National (the current Sixers). But since he only played one year in Philly, he has been ignored by Sixers brass. I'll have another post on this soon.
The Un-Intentional Walk-OffPosted: May 29, 2012 | Author: Johnny Goodtimes | Filed under: Basketball | Tags: 1950s, Gene Conley, Joe Adcock, Sparky Anderson | 3 Comments »
On May 26th, 1959, Harvey Haddix put on the greatest pitching performance in baseball history, but lost the game. That was because, after losing his perfect game in the 13th, he gave up a home run to Joe Adcock (It was later ruled a double due to a mixup on the basepaths, but the Braves still won.) A mere three days later, Adcock was involved in perhaps an even stranger walk-off.
On May 29th, the hapless Phillies traveled to County Stadium in Milwaukee to take on the powerful Braves. The Braves were led by young sluggers Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews, as well as an aging but still spectacular Warren Spahn. Spahn wasn't on the mound that day (He would throw a complete game 4-hitter against the Phils two days later), and the Phillies quickly got to starter Carl Willey, tagging him for 4 runs in 2 1/3 innings. Braves reliever Juan Pizarro came in slow the onslaught, and the two teams entered the 9th inning tied at 5 apiece.
Phillie starter Gene Conley, who had just come over from Milwaukee the past offseason, gave up a triple to Hank Aaron to start the 9th, then walked Wes Covington intentionally. With one out and runners on the corners, he decided to do the same to Adcock, in the hopes of loading the bases and coaxing the next batter, slow catcher Del Crandall, to ground into a double play. But Conley's first intentional ball came a little too close to the plate, and Adcock smacked it to 2nd. Thinking he didn't have time to turn two, Phillies second bagger Sparky Anderson (yes THAT Sparky Anderson. He played one season in the Bigs…for the 1959 Phillies) heaved the ball home. The throw was late, Aaron was safe, and Joe Adcock had his second shocking walk-off in 72 hours.
Gene Conley would pitch for the Phillies for two years, and is the answer to an incredibly awesome trivia question. He is the only person to ever do what? Answer in the comments if you think you know.
#2 Most Underrated Athlete in Philly Sports History: Hal GreerPosted: May 15, 2012 | Author: Lalli | Filed under: Basketball | Tags: 1960s, 1970s, Hal Greer, Sixers, Underrated Philly Athletes | Leave a comment »
If there were an award given for a player who is most respected by basketball insiders, while getting the minimum public appreciation, Greer could win hands down.
The reason that so many players are on this list is timing. And that couldn't be more true for our 2nd Most Underrated Philadelphia Athlete, Hal Greer. He was a guard at a time when two of the best guards in the history of the NBA played. And he was teammates with the best Sixer in the history of the franchise. Being compared to Oscar Robertson and Jerry West, in addition to playing second-fiddle to Wilt Chamberlain in Philadelphia lands Hal Greer on our list. His unmatched production and consistency are what rank him so high.
There aren't many guys in pro sports like Hal Greer anymore. He was born June 26, 1936 in Huntington, West Virginia and became the first black athlete to receive a scholarship at Marshall University. After graduating in 1958, he was drafted by the Syracuse Nationals, who later became the Philadelphia 76ers. He went to the university located in his hometown and then played out his 15-year professional career for the same franchise.
He was most known for his speed and his mid-range jumper. His style was much more hard work than it was flash. Greer's teammate, and then coach, Dolph Schayes had this to say: "Hal Greer always came to play. He came to practice the same way, to every team function the same way. Every bus and plane and train, he was on time. Hal Greer punched the clock. Hal Greer brought the lunch pail." He is also remembered for his quirky style at the free-throw line, from which he would shoot jumpers. His career free throw percentage is 80.1%.
Over the course of his NBA career, the 6'2″ guard averaged 19.2 points per game, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds. He scored more than 20 points per game in eight seasons. He played in ten consecutive All-Star games from 1961 through 1970. Although he was the smallest player on the 1968 East All-Star team and although he played just 17 minutes, he earned the MVP Award after going 8-8 from the field, 5-7 from the line, and scoring 21 points. From '63-'69 he was named to the All-NBA Second Team. He was the type of player that always turned things up in the playoffs. In the 1967 playoffs, he averaged 27.7 ppg, 5.9 rebounds. and 5.3 assists while quarterbacking the best team in basketball history to an NBA Title.
The fact that he scored so well while playing alongside Wilt Chamberlain speaks volumes about Greer's abilities.
Greer retired after the '72-'73 season. At that time, he had appeared in more games (1,122) than any other player in NBA history. His 21,586 career points ranked among the all-time top 10, as did his totals for minutes played, field goals attempted and field goals made. His numbers still stand up almost 40 years after he retired. He currently sits 30th all-time in scoring, 22nd in field goals made, and 26th in total minutes.
The usual waiting period for induction into the NBA Hall of Fame is 5 years. Underrated as always, Greer was forced to wait nine.

A Timeline of Sixers vs Celtics RivalryPosted: May 15, 2012 | Author: Johnny Goodtimes | Filed under: Basketball | Tags: 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, Moses Malone, Sixers, Wilt Chamberlain | 2 Comments »
It's been great to see this Sixers-Celtics series get off to such an exciting start. In the late 60s and again in the early 80s, this was one of the premiere rivalries in basketball, but both teams have been extremely inconsistent since and the rivalry fizzled. Here is a look at all of their playoff meetings (not including times they met when 76ers were the Syracuse Nationals).
1965, when Havlicek stole the damn ball. The Celtics would go on to crush LA in the Finals.
1966– Celtics win 4-1. Would beat LA in 7 games in the Finals.
1967-Sixers win 4-1, go on to win title over San Fran Warriors.
1968-Sixers took a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, but lost the last three games to Russell and the Celtics, who went on to win the title. Chamberlain took a ton of criticism for the loss from fans and the media, and demanded a trade to LA.
1969- Celtics win 4-1. Would beat Chamberlain and Lakers in Finals, 4 games to 3.
1977- The Sixers won 4-3. Went on to lose to Trail Blazers in Finals.
In the 80s, the rivalry reached its burning point. Philly and Boston were undoubtedly the best two teams in the East, and met each other in the Eastern Conference Finals four times between 1980 and 1985, with each team taking two.
1980- Sixers cruised to a 4-1 Series lead. After knocking off rookie sensation Larry Bird, they would lose to another incredible rookie, Magic Johnson, and the Lakers in Six.
1981- That year's Conference Final was one of the most exciting playoff series in sports history (John Hollinger of ESPN ranked it the #1 greatest playoff series in NBA history). 5 of the 7 games were determined by 2 points or less, including the last 4 games. Furthermore, the two teams had finished the regular season 62-20. They may have been the two most evenly matched teams in NBA history. The Sixers blew a 3-1 lead in the Series, lost Game 7 by one point at the Garden, and the Celtics went on to cruise to an NBA title over the Rockets. This may have been the most devastating loss in Sixer history.
1982- The Sixers and Celtics met again in the Conference Finals. Once again the Sixers took a 3-1 Series lead. Once again, the Celtics won Game 5 in Boston and Game 6 at the Spectrum to force a game 7. Were the Sixers going to blow it again?
No. The Sixers stormed the Garden, blowing out the Celtics. With just a couple of minutes remaining, and a Sixers win assured, a most remarkable thing happened. The Celtic fans started chanting, "Beat LA! Beat LA!". You have to think that it inspired the USA! USA! chants in Rocky IV. Right?
Anyway, an incredible moment, but it was not to be. The Lakers would beat the Sixers in 6 games. The Sixers would have to wait until they got a player named Moses to get tho the promised land.
1985- Celtics win 4-1. Lose to Lakers in Finals.
2002-Celtics win 3-2 in the first round. This series is best remembered for "Practice?"
#3 Most Underrated Philly Athlete of All-Time: Donovan McNabbPosted: May 2, 2012 | Author: Johnny Goodtimes | Filed under: Basketball | Tags: Donovan McNabb, Eagles, James Thrash, Jim Kelly, Patriots, Super Bowl, Todd Pinkston | 6 Comments »
He smiled too much. He didn't run enough. He played the air guitar. He threw up at the Super Bowl. He was passive aggressive. He didn't lead enough 4th quarter comebacks. He told your boss not to give you that promotion. He convinced Napoleon to attack Russia in the winter.
If you ever needed anyone to blame for anything for 11 years, McNabb was a handy target. Part of that had to do with how tough it is to be QB in Philly, part of it has to do with a pricklish personality that never allowed him to "get" Philadelphia, and part of it ("he smiles too much") was sheer nonsense.
But even if I concede everything that drives people crazy about McNabb, there is still simply no debate that "Five" is the greatest QB in Philadelphia Eagles history. And it's not close. He has the record for Most completions, most yards, and most TDs. He played in 6 more games than the beloved Ron Jaworski and threw 41 more TDs and 51 less INTs. He had a winning percentage of 65.2%, while Jaws was just over 50%. He threw 66 more TDs and 5 less INTs than Randall, whose winning % was around 59%.
What makes these numbers even more impressive is the fact that, with one single notable exception, McNabb was playing with receivers who never approached the level of skill of Mike Quick, Harold Carmichael, or even Keith Jackson. Due to the Eagles insistence that "the system" was more important than anything else, McNabb spent season after season passing to James Thrash and Todd Pinkston. Just how good was McNabb? The mindblowingly bad Thrash played with the Redskins for nine seasons and caught for 1620 yards. In just three years with McNabb, he caught for 2026 yards. Coincidence, or an example of a great quarterback making a terrible player better? (As for Pinkston, once the Eagles let him go, not a single team showed interest.) In the one single season during his prime that McNabb had an unequivocally great wide receiver, he had the greatest season any QB in Philly has ever had, throwing for 3,875 yards, 31 TDs and a mere 8 INTs, while leading the Eagles to a 13-2 record in games he started, best in team history.
McNabb then threw for 357 yards in the Super Bowl (the most anyone not named Kurt Warner has ever thrown in a Super Bowl) against a Patriots team that was cheating so hard they made the Black Sox look like choir boys,but it was allegations of McNabb (maybe?) throwing up in the end that became the story of the 2004 season. Despite all the yards, and despite the fact that he shredded a Pats defense had completely shut down Ben Roethlisberger and Peyton Manning in the two games previous, McNabb's Super Bowl, and season, were seen as a failure.
In addition to his questionable attitude, the other thing working against McNabb was the fact that he came along at roughly the same time as Brady and Manning. McNabb was not as good as the other two QBs that came along at the same time, and so, by some sort of twisted logic, he sucked. It was absurd and irrational, but Eagles' fans pride themselves on their passion, not their rationality. McNabb never understood that (as opposed to local icon Brian Dawkins, who understood it implicitly), and his lack of understanding of their rather diminished his accomplishments in the eyes of many Eagles fans.
Now that time has passed, it is time to re-evaluate McNabb's value as an Eagle. His stats (and his close-but-no-cigar career) compare favorably with the undeniably great Jim Kelly. Kelly played 11 seasons with the Bills, McNabb played 11 for the Eagles. Kelly played in 160 games, McNabb in 148. McNabb passed for 2 more yards per game, Kelly threw slightly more TDs per game (1.48 to 1.46), and McNabb threw 75 less interceptions than Kelly despite playing in 12 fewer games. (And don't forget that Kelly was throwing to Andre Reed and James Lofton, not Pinkston and Thrash.) McNabb also ran for 3249 yards for the Birds, while Kelly ran for 1,049 for the Bills. Kelly went 9-8 in the playoffs. McNabb went 9-7. Jim Kelly is a God in Buffalo. And yet, here in Philly…Until more people in Philadelphia can separate McNabb's incredible career from their own personal feelings for him, he will remain one of the most underrated athletes in Philadelphia history.
Wilt Scores 100 in Hershey As Warriors Knock Off Knicks!Posted: March 3, 2012 | Author: Johnny Goodtimes | Filed under: Basketball | Tags: 1960s, Paul Arizin, Warriors, Wilt Chamberlain | 1 Comment »
I had so much fun with the 1911 A's that I thought I'd do something similar for Wilt's 100 point game. So I went to the library and looked at the Inquirer and Bulletin from the days immediately before and after Wilt's 100 point game. The NBA was so bush league back then that there was no preview of the game in the paper on March 2nd, which was focused on the Phils spring training and a potential Floyd Patterson-Sonny Liston fight (They would fight in September, an easy win for Liston). The next day, once he had scored 100, there was more notice, but nothing like you'd see today. A couple of columns in the Inky and Bulletin. By the 4th, there was no mention of it in the paper. Everything you read below was taken from those two papers in the days surrounding the games (including that AMAZING political headline from the Bulletin below) and from an incredible piece in Sportsweek this week, an oral history by the people who were there. I added a bit of my own style, but all quotes and facts are real. Enjoy!
Technically, Wilt scored 104 points last night. That's what his teasing roommates told him in the joyous locker room after last night's superlative performance against the Knicks. After all he had gotten called for goaltending twice. But it will go down in the scorebooks as 100, crushing his previous record by 22. And when you consider that young Wilt is only 25 years old and just now entering his prime, you have to wonder what he will do to top this!
"I just hope nobody asks me when I'm going to score 120…because I never will," said a jovial Chamberlain after the game.
Perhaps not, but when you consider the type of season he's having this year, it seems like anything is possible. Chamberlain is obliterating the rest of the league, averaging over 50 points a game. In fact, there are some who are calling for the baskets to rise to offset the dominance of big men like Chamberlain.
Remarkably, a few hours before Wilt's 100 point game, a young reporter named Bill Conlin reported in the Bulletin that Temple's coach Harry Litwack (left) is predicting higher goals in the next few years."It is my personal feeling that the baskets will be raised…in the next 2 or 3 years," Litwack said. "The average college player of 6'3″ or 6'4″ can stuff the ball with little trouble." In fact, Penn coach Jack McCloskey had his team practice on 11 1/2 foot rims on Tuesday, saying that the practice was "enlightening, but inconclusive…The biggest need in the game today," said McCloskey, "is to take away the advantage the unskillfull big man has over the skilled smaller player."
Needless to say, McCloskey was not referring to Wilt, who is as skilled as anyone in the sport. Of course, his height didn't hurt him on this night, when Knicks were playing without starting center Phil Jordan, who was out with the flu*. Neither did his free throw shooting.
"I wasn't thinking of hitting 100," said Chamberlain, "But after putting in nine straight free throws I was thinking about a foul shooting record."
Well, he set a couple of those too, making 28 out of 32, both records that I suspect will still be held many years from now.**
His shooting from the field was good but not great (he finished 36 for 63). Needless to say, once his teammates and the crowd realized that 100 was a possibility, he touched the ball almost every time down the court. The Knicks, desperate to not give up 100, tried to freeze the clock by dribbling in circles. Warriors coach Frank McGuire countered that by having his players foul the Knicks. As the great Paul Arizin of the Warriors said after the game, "If anyone walked into the arena (then), they would think they were winning and we were losing."
Indeed, the Warriors kept frantically feeding Wilt, and he kept hitting short layins over poor 6'8″ Cleveland Buckner, who was left to guard him after Darrell Imhoff, who was filling in for Jordan, fouled out. Wilt hit a couple of impressive fadeaways while in the 90s, then with 98 points and less than a minute remaining, he gathered in a short pass from Joe Ruklick (below, with Wilt), spun and dropped a short shot softly into the basket. He had 100! The crowd, which had been chanting "Pass to Wilt, Pass to Wilt!" throughout the 4th quarter, rushed the court. Eventually it was cleared, and the game resumed, with Wilt standing off to the side. He attempted no more shots, but it was no surprise that he stayed in the game. After all, he's only missed 8 minutes all season, and is averaging more than 48 minutes per game!
After the game, Wilt was visibly excited about the new record. "It's really something. I sure do feel different. Triple figures. Wow!" His teammates were ecstatic as well. Arizin said, "I never thought I would see it happen when I broke into this league, but when Wilt came along I knew he'd do it someday. It's a fantastic thing. I'm very happy for him."
In the Inquirer today, there was a story about Ted Williams being asked if anyone would ever hit .400 again, considered the benchmark in all of baseball. "Sure, there are going to be more .400 hitters," said Williams. That remains to be seen, but it is worth noting that the 100 point game will almost certainly become a similar benchmark in basketball, and one has to wonder which record will be broken first, the .400 season or the 100 point game. Asked if anyone would break his record after last night's game, Wilt slyly answered, "I'd hate to try to break it myself."
IN OTHER SPORTS NEWS: -The All Catholic League Team and All Public League teams released their All-Stars today. Among the All Catholics was Matt Goukas of St. Joe's, and the All Public League included All Stars Earl "The Pearl" Monroe of Bartram and Fred Carter of Franklin.
-Robin Roberts has begun training camp for the first time in his career with a new team…the New York Yankees. Roberts, the greatest pitcher in Phils history, struggled to a 1-10 season last year with a 5.85 ERA, and was in need of a fresh start. "It's great to be…a Yankee," said Roberts. "This is a new world."***
-The 1964 election is still two years away, but there is a name quickly gaining traction in Republican circles. That is George Romney, who after a successful stint as head of the American Motors Corporation has decided to run for governor of Michigan. Remarkable that a man with no political experience is already considered a frontrunner for the 1964 nomination.****
-Four Philadelphia police sergeants are being trained to use a new device called the "Breathalyzer", which can be used to determine the amount of alcohol a driver has had.
And before we go, a word from our sponsors, the Trocadero Burlesk Theatre. Without their support, none of this would be possible.The tantalizing tassel twirler Stormy is performing tonight. Don't think I want to miss that one! I'll see ya at the 9:55 show!
*Imhoff revealed in that Sportsweek piece that Jordan actually missed the game with a hangover, not the flu. How incredible is that? If Phil Jordan doesn't get wasted the night before the game, the Knick have their starting center, and it's almost certain that Wilt doesn't score 100.
**Adrian Dantley would tie Wilt's record with 28 made in a game in 1984. Dwight Howard currently has the record for most free throws attempted with 39, which he set in January (He made 21).
***Roberts would never pitch a game for the Yankees before being traded to the Orioles in May. He would indeed find new life in Baltimore, going 10-9 with a 2.78 ERA that season and winning 42 games total with the O's before ending his career in Houston.
****His son Willard Mitt turned 15 ten days after Wilt's 100 point game.

Dr. Dunkenstein turns 55 today. Great piece above on him shattering the two backboards. True story: a few years ago when he played on the Sixers, Kyle Korver played quizzo with some friends at the Black Sheep. His team name? Vanilla Thunder. No kidding. Pretty great.

TOEFL Tips From ETS: Reading Advice
OUTLINING ETS encourages a particular eye for outline reading passages, as the actual process of outlining can save you time on the TOEFL when getting through dense and complex reading articles. Keep in mind you have 20 minutes for each reading section on the TOEFL, which includes reading a one-page academic passage in addition to answering 12-14 corresponding questions. Practice outlining, in particular, by reading academic texts or newspaper articles and writing one sentence for each paragraph, summarizing the paragraph's main idea. Also, look for the ways in which main ideas in one paragraph might relate to the main ideas in the other paragraphs; drawing connections between paragraphs while outlining is no doubt useful. Also, you might find during your outlining process that some paragraphs actually address the same concept; take note of them while also paying close attention to the transitional words between all the sentences. In general, writing one short summary of an entire passage, be it an academic article or an article from a well-established newspaper, can really help your outlining abilities. CONNECTING WORDS While connecting words are often encouraged in your writing for the TOEFL, when you train your eye to pay attention to them in reading it can bring you one step closer to having a greater understanding of a reading passage. Connecting words can often be placed into categories. ETS does a wonderful job of this on its website. Here are several categories and their corresponding connecting words:While advice from TOEFL instructors and tutors can certainly be highly valued, there's no looking past suggestions from the makers of the TOEFL itself – ETS. ETS has released several various articles with suggestions on how to prepare for the TOEFL. This article, in particular, will highlight some of ETS' suggestions in how to prepare for the reading section of the TOEFL test.
- Connecting words that show RESULTS: as a result, so, therefore
- Connecting words that show COMPARISONS: in contrast, on the other hand
- Connecting words that show STEPS: first, second, next finally

Shabazz Palaces at the Larimer Lounge
I began my experience at Larimer Lounge as usual by going directly from the doorman to the bar for a drink and then outside to the back patio. Very few people were enjoying the mild night on the patio, but included in that crowd were two men aptly describing what they would end up doing about 15 minutes later. They were explaining to an attentive group of about four people that their preoccupation was with creating a mood for the following acts, one which gets them hyped for the full experience of the headlining artist.
I knew nothing of Malitia Malimob prior to the show, though I soon figured out that they were two MCs touting their Somalian origins. To say that we have it easy in the US, compared to war-torn Somalia, would be a comic understatement. During their conversation with the group outside Larimer Lounge, they mentioned their idea to associate gangster rap with notions of actual Somali gangsters, pirates of the high seas. Not much is known about the public profiles of the Seattle artists known as Malimob, though now as immigrants to a country whose own striving dream is limited, their story remains relevant. hile we as Americans might not have pirates, a lack of potable water, and war as a daily threat, their appropriation of American gangster rap to illustrate the immigrant struggle for recognition is fitting. My interest was piqued when I saw a young man, presumably accompanying the group on tour, appeared from backstage, a Somali flag draped over his head. His thick accent and exuberance to tout their origins, mated with the rappers' message definitely got me hyped for the remainder of the night.
The second act, THEESatisfaction, sashayed onto stage with the confidence of a group who knew exactly how to time their performance. Unlike the opening act, they chose to forgo a DJ cueing up their tracks. With a Powerbook at the ready, they started one of a dozen songs and with only quick breaks to hydrate, continued to woo the audience for almost an hour. Their Spector-era harmonies and subtle TLC-like choreographed dance moves were a perfect accompaniment to their hybrid of soul, jazz, and 1990s backpack era hip hop. It's not so unexpected that Catherine Harris-White and Stasia Irons were recently signed to Sub Pop, the label of headlining act Shabazz Palaces. The ladies were featured on two tracks from Shabazz's most recent release, 2011's Black Up. Also of note is that during a self-released video, THEESatisfaction could be seen talking while Digable Planets' "Black Ego" played in the background. THEESatisfaction's empowered groove surely carries on the torch the intelligent, empowered rappers of the 90s, including Digable Planets lit.
If THEESatisfaction was the slow burning fuse for the show, Shabazz Palaces were the earth rattling exploding denouement. What THEESatisfaction provided with well-rehearsed choreography and wordsmithing, Shabazz Palaces added live instrumentation. Their connection cannot be understated. Ishmael "Butterfly" Butler, formerly of seminal downtempo 90s hip hop group Digable Planets, brought his shifting, sharp lyrics and MPC, while sideman and percussionist Tendai Maraire brought all of the necessary live beats. On record, it's difficult to identify individual instruments vs. electronic accompaniment, whereas the live performance helps to decode the puzzle. Butler furiously taps at his lit MPC buttons while Maraire switches between maracas, congas, a sampler drum pad, and an electric mbira. It's fascinating to watch what is essentially an MC create something as complex as a classical jazz band on stage, with no pauses for tuning or to catch up with the set list.
To close out the set, THEESatisfaction came out to accompany Butler and Maraire on several songs, and though I left before the end of the set, I wonder if they were able to even recreate the magic of Digable Planets with some cover songs. My wish is that the power that this show brought to Larimer Lounge continues to influence new hip hop shows, many of which are heavy on hype but remarkably absent of on stage musical prowess.

Days after the rape of a six-year-old child at the elite Vibgyor High School here triggered outrage and massive protests in Bangalore, police on Tuesday arrested two gym instructors at the school but ruled out the involvement of a skating instructor who had earlier been arrested.
The police identified the two gym instructors as Waseem Pasha and Lalgiri and said they were the perpetrators of the sexual assault that occurred two weeks ago.
The police had on July 20 arrested a skating instructor at the school, Mohammed Mustafa, on the basis of child pornography videos found on his laptop. The arrest of the 30-year-old occurred amid massive protests over the failure of the police to arrest anybody for the rape that took place in the school premises during school hours.
On Tuesday, Bangalore's new Police Commissioner M N Reddi announced that following extensive investigations, including analysis of the child's version with the help of experts, it emerged that gym instructors Pasha and Lalgiri were the actual perpetrators of the crime.
"A child's version of things that occurred is not usually as clear as that of adults. We handled the child sensitively with the help of experts to glean information about the crime and the new arrests were made on that basis," Reddi said at a press conference.
He said Mustafa had not been found to have been involved in the sexual assault but he will be booked for allegations of misbehavior at a previous school where he worked. The allegations that the skating instructor had misbehaved while he was at the Deens Academy school — more than two years ago — emerged following his arrest in the Vibgyor case.
Police sources said Pasha and Lalgiri were initially among the prime suspects since they were normally present in the gym area where the child was allegedly attacked. A medical test had been conducted earlier on Pasha but had not thrown up leads, the sources said. The focus of the investigations got diverted to Mustafa after parents and public staged massive protests against the school management and the police. The police arrested Mustafa and claimed that the presence of child porn on his laptop was an indication of his bent of mind.
The alleged rape at the Vibgyor High rocked Bangalore after the parents of the child lodged a police complaint on July 14 after the school management refused to respond to their concerns. In her complaint, the child's mother had indicated that the alleged incident occurred on July 2 and that two persons were involved. A medical examination of the child also revealed sexual assault.
Police sources said on Tuesday that the incident may not have occurred on the day mentioned in the complaint but …continued »

Level of study Third/Final year
Credit value 20
Semester 2
This module will be centred on detailed analysis of the writing and career of Ben Jonson. The emphasis may vary from year to year, but normally students will leave the module having spent time thinking in detail about examples of the many kinds of Jonson's writing in drama (eg Every Man in his Humour, The Alchemist), poetry (eg Epigrams, "To Penshurst"), masque (eg The Masque of Blackness, The Masque of Queens) and prose (eg Discoveries), and about the development of that writing across his career. The expectation is that one substantial text will form the centre of each week's work (eg a play, a masque, or a collection of poems); this will be complemented by shorter, contrasting or contemporary texts. Whichever texts are prescribed for a given year, however, they will always be studied in relation to their social and political contexts, their performance and publication conditions (where appropriate), and the dramatic and other conventions within which they were created. Opportunity will also exist to think about the physical forms in which Jonson circulated his writing, drawing where appropriate on the resources of the University library's Special Collections. Students will be expected to supplement their knowledge of the texts discussed in seminars by reading more widely (and often as directed) in the writings of Jonson's contemporaries.

Dress and Smell Like Emma Roberts: It's Not as Creepy as It Sounds
Emma Roberts is so hot right now (especially in beau Chord Overstreet's eyes... and arms). In case you're also girl-crushing on the in-demand starlet, we've got a couple pointers on how to look — and smell — like Emma.
As a guest editor for Who What Wear, the Scream 4 actress spilled her spring must-haves. Among the colorful, on-trend assortment of shoes, clothing, and accessories? Tom Ford Santal Blush perfume and a leopard-print mini-dress from Topshop.
Unlike the Proenza Schouler bag and neon Manolo Blahniks she also highlights, the scent and dress won't set you back thousands of dollars.
Tom Ford Santal Blush perfume: $195 for 1.7 oz.
Topshop animal button-front shirtdress: $74
