101.5 Seconds of Sports Dec. 12, 2012
Wednesday, December 12, 2012
The Syracuse Men's Basketball team has a week free of games while they take final exams ... the Orange will be back in action vs. Canisius on Saturday night. The game begins at 7 in the dome with Orange Pregame at 6:30 on Oldies 101.5.
The New York Jets (6-7) travel to Tennessee for next week's Monday Night Football clash. We will join that game after SU/Detroit Basketball.
The Jets have been awarded Wide Receiver Braylon Edwards off waivers from Seattle. Edwards was a Jet until 2009 and has been critical of the way the team has handled the Mark Sanchez situation in recent days, although he did apologize for the hostile " Tweets " he posted and cited his strong friendship with Sanchez as the reason for his outbursts.
One time Syracuse Kicker Olindo Mare has been picked up by the Chicago Bears to replace Robbie Gould, who was put on Injured Reserve due to a Calf Injury.
Four SUNY Cortland Football players have been named to the ECAC South All-Star team ... they are Offensive Lineman Randy Bloom, Defensive Lineman Vaughn Labor, Cornerback Pete Furey and Kicker Mike Debole.
In High School Sports Tuesday: Boys Hoops: Cincinnatus Over Deruyter 43-24, J-D over Homer 53-29 and Fabius-Pompey over Tully 55-51. Girls Hoops: J-D over Homer 51-32. In Boys Hockey, the Cortland-Homer Golden Eagles knocked off Baldwinsville 5-2 and in Girls Volleyball it was Faith Heritage over Fabius-Pompey 3 sets to 1.

Cadel Evans of the BMC Racing Team showed off his improving recovery from a fractured elbow by finishing 15th Friday on a stage featuring the steepest climb of this year's Tour de France.
A Good Test
Evans crossed the line 31 seconds behind stage winner Joaquin Rodriguez (Katusha) and remains 18th overall. The world champion said he felt better, though he couldn't go with the decisive move. "I wanted to take today as a bit of a test and see if I could follow and see how I am going," Evans said. "I'm better, but not back to the level of where I was at Morzine-Avoriaz. Climbing out of the saddle, especially on the steep climb today, I couldn't pull on my left side."
Helping Evans
U.S. national champion George Hincapie said the BMC Racing Team still aims to move Evans up the overall classification. "We still believe Cadel can be in the top five despite his injury," Hincapie said. "He just has to get back to the level he was coming into the Tour. We have full confidence he can do that."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (December 1, 2012)—Game On Dude rebounded from a poor performance in the Breeders' Cup Classic Nov. 3, winning the $242,500 Native Diver Stakes – Presented by the Oak Tree Racing Association – Saturday (video) at Betfair Hollywood Park.
The 10th lifetime victory for the 3-10 favorite did not come easy. The 5-year-old Awesome Again gelding was challenged by 5-1 shot Nonios.
At the finish of the Grade III, Game On Dude, who is trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert for a partnership that includes Joe Torre's Diamond Pride LLC, Lanni Family Trust, Ernie Moody's Mercedes Stable LLC and Bernie Schiappa, prevailed by 1 ¼ lengths, completing the 1 1/8 miles over Cushion Track in 1:52.27.
Ridden for the first time by Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, Game On Dude, who is out of the Devil His Due mare Worldly Pleasure, boosted his bankroll to $3,132,158 in 22 starts. The win was his third in four races over Cushion Track. The Kentucky bred won the Grade II Californian and the Grade I Hollywood Gold Cup during the Spring/Summer meet.
Nonios, who won the Grade III Affirmed Handicap locally June 3, broke in front of Game On Dude Saturday, but Smith moved inside of the son of Pleasantly Perfect to gain the advantage on the clubhouse turn, then got the dark bay to relax through 49.81 and 1:14.97 fractions through six furlongs.
Game On Dude appeared ready to take charge of the Native Diver approaching the quarter pole, but Nonios was resurgent, drawing along side the public choice in the final eighth of a mile, but Game On Dude, who spotted the runner-up five pounds (124-119), edged away in the closing yards.
Favored for the seventh consecutive time in the United States, Game On Dude paid $2.60, $2.20 and $2.10, making him the shortest priced winner in Native Diver history – Twilight Agenda paid $2.80 when he won in 1991.
"I thought Nonios would be the horse to beat in here,'' said Baffert after his second Native Diver win, the first coming with General Challenge in 1999. "I figured (jockey Martin) Pedroza would try to get aggressive with him.
"I saw Pedroza go over there and I thought he was to get in `Dude's psyche a little bit, maybe try to cut him off or get him off his heels.
"When I saw Nonios making that move and coming back on, I said, 'Whoa,' because this track is pretty demanding. But then (Game On Dude) cut back in and he wasn't really tired when he got back. It's just a shame that he ran great races all year long and had a bad trip in the Breeders' Cup. It's a new day today.''
The victory was the first in the Native Diver for Smith. His best previous finishes were thirds aboard Slew's Tizzy (2008) and Neko Bay (2009).
"He had a little hiccup coming out of the gate,'' said Smith. "He was squatting a little. I have a couple of ideas maybe we'll try (next time). The idea was just to stay out of his way.
"Martin secured the lead and if he wanted it going at a decent pace, I was going to let him have it. But he really didn't go on and I was determined to stick him in there.
"I know this horse is brave, so I just put him where I thought I had to. He handled the track well. The key for me was to win and if I could win without gutting him, it would be really good.
"I wanted to see if he'd fight, he acted like he would in the mornings and he certainly did in the afternoon. He won pretty much within himself.''
Seeking to become the first 3-year-old to win the race since Momentum in 2001, Nonios returned $3.20 and $2.40. Kettle Corn, the defending champion, was 4 ¼ lengths back in third. His show price was $3.
Richard's Kid, who was second to Game On Dude in the July 7 Gold Cup in his last start at Betfair Hollywood Park, was fourth, beaten 15 ½ lengths as the 4-1 second choice. Make Music for Me trailed.
One race before the Native Diver, heavily-favored Reneesgotzip was a narrow winner in the $70,440 Skillful Joy Stakes. (video)
The 3-10 choice in a race moved from turf to Cushion Track due to weather concerns, Reneesgotzip was outrun early by Nechez Dawn, who popped the gate from her outside post, but was able to wear the daughter of Indian Charlie down, ultimately winning by a neck.
The victory was the fifth in nine starts for Reneesgotzip, who is owned by Lanni Family Trust and trained by Peter Miller. The 3-year-old daughter of City Zip out of the Distorted Humor mare No Dress Code pushed her earnings to $454,460. The Kentucky bred is undefeated in four races over synthetic surfaces, including three wins over the Betfair Hollywood Park main track.
Reneesgotzip, who completed the six furlongs under jockey Garrett Gomez in 1:13.05, paid $2.60, $2.20 and $2.10. Nechez Dawn, the 7-2 second choice, returned $3 and $2.20. Curvy Cat, who was 2 ½ lengths back in third, paid $2.80 to show.
Forbidden City and Belle Passe completed the order of finish. Byrama, Minds Eyes and Eileen's Dream were scratched.
Racing will resume Sunday. Post time is 12:30 p.m. Track gates will open at 10 a.m. for simulcasts.
The main event is the $100,000 Vernon O. Underwood Stakes. A Grade III at six furlongs over Cushion Track, the Underwood has attracted a quality field of seven, including 2010 CashCall Futurity winner Comma to the Top, 2011 Triple Bend Handicap winner Smiling Tiger and a quartet – Smash, Capital Account, Fast Bullet and Bank the Eight – from the Baffert barn. The Underwood is the eighth of nine races.
The final race at Betfair Hollywood Park also begins the "405 Double.'' The $2 minimum wager requires a bettor to pick the winners of the last local race and the first at Los Alamitos. The 405 Double will be offered every Sunday through Dec. 16, the final day of the Autumn meet.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (January 4, 2012)—Tres Borrachos, who upset Two Step Salsa and Colonel John to win the 2008 Swaps Stakes at Hollywood Park, will try for his first win over conventional dirt in the $150,000 San Pasqual Stakes Saturday at Santa Anita.

Unique Air Plant Vessels
Etsy Roundup
As much as I love having greenery in my home, I am probably the most notorious plant assassin in Chicago. I can barely keep succulents alive. But after hearing so much about the simplicity of air plants, I'm ready to give them a try. Because they don't need soil, the display options are nearly endless, so of course I hit Etsy for some inspiration.
Air plants, remarkable not only for their sexy names (Tillandsia! Bromeliad! Xerographica! Oh my!), but also for their ability to absorb water and nutrients from the air, are easy to care for and incredibly versatile in terms of display. Here's a roundup of my favorite Etsy options, but I also suggest keeping your mind open to the many possibilities for DIY, vintage scouring, and repurposing.
Top row:
1. Set of 3 Porcelain and Leather Hanging Containers, $120 plus shipping from Farrahsit: Simple, organic, and modern, these handcrafted porcelain vessels look elegant staggered on a wall. I love the idea of one-of-a-kind pieces, but if you're on a budget, think of modifying the Ikea Asker vessels for a similar look.
2. Starfish and Little Air Plant, $13 plus shipping from West Nest: I find starfish to be very texturally pleasing creatures, and the unexpected addition of an air plant transforms them into even more lovely (and oddly volcanic-looking) focal points.
3. Golden Tillandsia Pod, $7.50 plus shipping from The Tropical Garden: Add some reflectiveness to your room with a touch of gilded glitz.
4. Dinosaur Planter with Air Plant, $20 plus shipping from Boy-Girl Tees: Why not give your room a bit of prehistoric whimsy with a repurposed toy?
5. Air Pod Plant Holder, $38 plus supping from I Love Air Pods: Beautifully handcrafted out of ceramic, these planters remind me of my childhood wiffle balls, meaning that they're tasteful and playful at the same time.
Second row:
6. Buffalo Horn Air Plant Holder, $35 plus shipping from West Nest: The natural materials and hand-painted accents of this horn holder will really heighten the drama of your air plant collection.
7. Hanging Teardrop Facet Terrarium, $50 plus shipping from ABJ Glassworks: With its geometric lines and perfect copper patina, this handmade terrarium is a showpiece in and of itself. I always advocate supporting artists and artisans when possible, but if you are looking for a similar style on a budget, Urban Outfitters has a faceted terrarium that would also showcase your plants well.
8. Tillandsia Sputnik Sea Urchin Shell, $8.75 plus shipping from Succulent Designs: Sea urchins are one of my favorite home accessories, given that they are affordable, textural, and naturally sculptural. Mix your land and sea by adding a tillandsia for even more visual interest.
9. Unicorn Air Plant Pod, $18 plus shipping from Claylicious: Sweet, fun, and adorable (but not over-the-top twee), this one is awakening eight-year-old me with a resounding squee.
10. Mini Concrete Planter with Druid Air Plant, $15 plus shipping from My Zen: This fun and funky little vessel reminds me of a traditional Mexican molcajete. Usually my mortar is filled with guacamole, but I like the idea of filling it with a different variety of green. You could also use other styles of mortars, like this octagonal one or this marble one, to create unique homes for your air plants.
Third row:
11. Air Plant Wall Art Hanger, $75 plus shipping from Twisted Acres: For those who want many air plants, this wall hanger provides plenty of space for them to nestle together. The artist has also upcycled a wine bottle into a light fixture, so you can add a bit of ambient lighting to your garden when the mood strikes.
12. Metal Stand with Air Plant, $5 plus shipping from Air Buddies: As simple as it gets, this little holder will let the natural beauty of your plant shine.
13. 2-in-1 Hanging Air Planter, $40 plus shipping from Ingleside Pottery: I love the versatility of this porcelain spool planter. Vertically or horizontally, it perfectly frames the tillandsia. And who doesn't want their plants to pull some gravity-defying stunts?
14. Stackable Living Eco Cube, $25 plus shipping from E-Garden Studio: Stack these for a living, verdant version of glass block tiles.
15. Nautical Knot Holder, $8 plus shipping from Air Buddies: This knot holder will add texture to the max. What's more, I like the shape of this planter, which is a little visual pun that makes the tillandsia resemble its cousin the pineapple.
Bottom row:
16. Mini Air Plant or Succulent Planter, $10 plus shipping from Old and Board: If you want to break up the trend I've got going here of mostly ceramic, glass, and porcelain vessels, then here's some aged wood and rusted metal to add a bit of warmth and industrial character.
17. Air Plant Crystal Garden, $32 plus shipping from Earth Sea Warrior: The addition of a tiny air plant makes this sparkly crystal cave even more special.

Great post! Though I'm definitely in the running for the "most notorious plant assassin in Chicago" title. :) I'll have to get one of these!
Love air plants, but if you think they're easier to maintain than the average succulent then you're in for a surprise! I killed my fair share before I finally figured out what worked best in my apartment (central air is an air plant assassin). Give them a weekly soak then let them dry completely before putting them back in place and you should be fine!
I want the dinosaur!!!
Keeping succulents alive is harder than it seems. Especially if you get a really finicky species. It's easy to get the water needs wrong, especially overwatering. Light is another big issue. Sure, that aloe looks great on your coffee table, but is it getting enough sun?Some even have dormancy periods where they need no water, etc. If you are a plant assassin, the best way to get over a bad case of the black thumb is first, learn from your mistakes. Taking care of plants is a skill you develop. Second, look up detailed, species-specific plant information when you bring a new addition home. This can save you a lot of frustration. Third, don't be afraid to ask questions. There are many garden forums where plant enthusiasts can assist.
I would actually recommend the dreaded orchid over air plants. I've killed 15 of 16 air plants I've brought into the house but I've only had 2 of 15 or so orchids die. I even have a phaleanopsis (the flat-faced ones that pretty much every grocery store sells now) that I've gotten to rebloom. Secrets: four feet away from a south facing window and no more, stick my fingers in the pot every time I walk by to check for dampness. The Phales are fine with a good drenching every so often (no less than ever other week!) and most of the other kinds that Trader Joe's sell do beautifully on a similar schedule.
You just have to pick plants that like the conditions you have. Have climate control going most of the year? Be sure you get plants that can tolerate dryness. Live in San Francisco? Plants native to cloud forests for you!
Succulents are super easy to overwater and under-sun, so they aren't actually all that easy in my opinion. Ferns that you just plan to water ever Monday work well (not maidenhair, they die) and so do prayer plants and peace lilies. Just set yourself an alarm. I have 8 potted plants and one potted tree in my office on exactly that schedule and they're doing great.
The most important trick? Make it easy. Put them where you'll see them all the time and put them on or in something so you can just dump water on them. If you have to move them into the sink, it's a commitment and becomes less likely that you'll remember.
I also found air plants to be trickier than everyone made them out to be. I nearly killed one by overwatering it. I just mist mine a couple times a week and they seem to be maintaining themselves. One I keep in indirect sunlight and two others were kept completely in the shade. One of the shaded ones died but the other one is thriving. I should have looked the specific needs up before placing them in my terrarium. Also, for terrariums, I used a huge glass container I found at Marshalls for $15.
www.canadianairplant.com has a great selection of air plants and they do wholesale for those who want to start and living art business. I work markets in the summer and sell about 200 of them every weekend at the market and this company supplies me. I love my air plant business!

However, the Scotts Valley resident, whose 100th birthday is Monday, Jan. 21, watches "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune" and completes crossword puzzles almost every day.
"I just dibble-dabble," Mudgett said of the crosswords, though he sees value in the puzzles for others. "Those (crossword puzzles) are the best ways for a foreigner to learn our language."
At age 98, Mudgett moved from his home in Capitola to the Oak Tree Villa assisted-living community in Scotts Valley. Until his move, he lived wholly independently. His staple, he said, was a breakfast of oatmeal, raisins, wheat germ and molasses.
Born to Molly Maude and John Otis Mudgett on Jan. 21, 1913, in San Jose, he graduated from San Jose High School and entered the Army as an engineer in 1934 and was sent to Hawaii.
After his service, he re-enlisted in the Army Air Corps at Moffett Field in Mountain View. At one time during Officer Candidate School, Mudgett recalls being a classmate of actor Clark Gable.
He was transferred to Hamilton Field in Louisiana, where he said he worked with "a bunch of Cajuns," repairing bombers during the beginning of World War II. He eloped with Bette Lou McMurty, to whom he was married for the next 59 years.
After Hamilton Field, Mudgett attended the Army Air Force Intelligence Academy in Harrisburg, Pa., and was shipped to Upper Assam in northeastern India to analyze captured enemy equipment.
After 11 years in the military, the conclusion of World War II signaled the end of Mudgett's military life.
Mudgett was hired as a Pacific Gas and Electric Co. engineer and worked out of the same office for 30 years. He retired as a supervisor and moved in 1982 to Capitola to be near his daughter and her husband.
During his time in Capitola, Mudgett served on the county Mobile Home Commission for 2nd District Supervisor Walt Simons and as the chaplain for the local Veterans of Foreign Wars office. He was a dedicated member of Sons in Retirement and a 32nd-degree Mason.
Mudgett had triple-bypass surgery when he was 82 and "never had a bit of trouble" afterward, he said.
He has three children — Diane Graves and husband Ron, Butch Mudgett and wife Jessie, and Brad Mudgett and wife Rose — and six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Mudgett recalls his experiences fondly but does not dwell on the past.
"I had an old sergeant who said it best," Mudgett said with a wry grin. "'People like you have had a lot of experiences in life, and some of them are true.'"
He reflected a moment before offering advice to those younger than him.
"You do the best you can and be honest about it," he said.
His family — including relatives from Southern California and San Antonio, Texas — will host a 100th-birthday reception for Mudgett on Saturday, Jan. 19, at Oak Tree Villa.

Just what I needed. Thanks
By Nanner
from Edmond, Ok.
I use these on all sizes of bowls. That's the reason I bought them.I've been looking for them a long time. I had some years ago and they arejust what we need. You do have to hand wash, which isn't hard to do.
