Saw U Me Aur Hum (2008) this past weekend. Starring Ajay Devgan and Kajol, and familiar faces including Divya Dutta (she's underrated, I tell you), produced and directed by Ajay Devgan (his first), and with music by Vishal Bharadwaj. The film was more interesting than I expected, and Ajay and Kajol were the biggest reasons why. Since this movie is relatively new, I'll stick to some highlights without revealing too much of the plot (well, at least not the most important bits). You might want to play this tune as you read along:
2. Ajay (Ajay Devgan) -- a doctor -- was aboard a cruise and partying one night when he saw Piya (Kajol) -- a waitress -- and fell head over heels in love with her. Very believable, only because it's the stunningly beautiful Kajol, who any sane single guy would easily fall in love with.
3. There was a good build-up to the catchy song Dil Dhakda Hai (not mis-spelled) by Adnan Sami Khan, Shreya Ghosal and Sunidhi Chauhan (promo at this link), but the final product was not my favorite. Let's just say this: if I wanted to see fit (and often pretty) women bouncing around in bikinis, I'd watch beach volleyball at the Olympics ;)
4. Of course, Ajay pursued Piya. She refused to heed his calls for attention, but eventually gave in given everything he did led her to believe they were compatible. Compatibility (I prefer the term 'strategic alignment'), like Divya Dutta, is underrated, so I liked where this was headed.
5. A song with an obvious and good Latin vibe, Jee Le was timed and used well. Singers Adnan Sami and Shreya Ghosal were fantastic again. And I've given up on a song in a Hindi film with Spanish lyrics not having the word 'amor' -- I guess that would be as singular as a Hindi film not having a song!
6. Piya overcame her reservations and married Ajay. The question was...would they be happy together? For the answer, watch U Me Aur Hum. I think it does well in engaging hum (the audience) too.
7. If you're a fan of placements of old songs in new films, you'll enjoy several bits. There's Saara Zamaana, Aate Jaate Khubsoorat, and my favorite in this case, Chalte Chalte (from Pakeezah) which is one of the best placements of a classic in contemporary cinema in quite a while. Kajol singing bits of the song was a lot of fun to be involved in.
8. The dialogue was a definite highlight. Part of Ajay's profession required him to be good with words, and his articulation of about every situation imaginable shone throughout the film. Here are a couple of examples: a) Ek sach ki umar sau jhoot se zyaada hoti hai (the life of one bit of truth is greater than that of a hundred lies); and b) Jaise pyaar ko paane ke liye junoon zaroori hota hai, waise pyaar ko nibhaane ke liye bhi junoon zaroori hota hai (fulfilling love requires intensity, just like earning love does).
9. The songs combined for a good overall effect. The title song (in player above) was excellent and fit perfectly with the vibe of the film. It was used with the opening credits, and set the tone and pace for the rest. When the line 'Apne rang ganwaaye bin, mere rang me ghul jaa' (blend in with my colors without sacrificing yours) was used, I was reminded of two things: a) A certain song by the Spice Girls that spoke of unity in romantic love, and b) A chameleon. Would you believe we we were taken very close to one of these in the film?!
Saiyyaan left some to be desired, if only because the lyrics weren't consistent with the film's proceedings. For example, there was a sentence that accused (in jest) Ajay of spending more time with the TV than with his biwi (wife). That's great, except that there wasn't one scene with Ajay watching television throughout the film. The flow wasn't seamless. This applied to at least one more song.
10. The art direction was very good. My only complaints were negligible: a) It's 7 a.m. when our lovebirds meet daily, and there was not one soul (okay, maybe just one) around on the front deck? Really?
b) Piya had Alzheimer's, and the care facility she was sent to looked like something from the Jetsons. Still, it had its strong points, like the capturing of this ambiance:
c) The color palettes (with shades of blue and white more prominent than the rest) were spectacular. Add Kajol to the mix, and it's an unbelievably delightful film canvas.
11. The supporting cast was up to the task. Everyone (especially Ms. Dutta) did well.
12. The biggest strength of the movie was, as expected and without a doubt, the Ajay-Kajol pairing. It might be other celebrity couples that get the press, but I doubt there's a better on-screen pairing of a real-life couple than Ajay and Kajol. They must truly be absolutely in love to not need to act the part. Or maybe they're just actors par excellence (I think for Kajol at least, it's both). They were in fine form here. Kajol acted her part brilliantly, and the second half catered to Ajay Devgan's strengths.
13. The film was not without flaws. The pace with which the plot unraveled required patience (filmmakers would argue that it was required to suck in the viewers, which would be a fair response). Some comedy was of the pedestrian variety. These moments were so few and far between, one couldn't help but wonder why they were used to begin with. Not sure the film identified its target audience very well. The jokes (some good, others not quite), the marketing, and the title, suggested one target audience, and the plot (and the majority of the people involved in it), another. That could work well in some situations, I just didn't think it did here. Had they done better in developing this, the film might have done much, much better at the box office, for it certainly was a good filmy product.
14. I wished they had not deliberately mis-spelled the 'U' in the title. Then I saw this on the eBay home page last night. I rest my case :)
15. Anyone read The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough?
Overall, it's still a very good film that deserves to be seen at least once. The integration of the music, the pace of the film, and some humor that didn't do much for me, are easy to overlook if one buys into the plot -- that's where Kajol and Ajay are effective. If you are comfortable watching uncredited inspirations (yet again) from a Hollywood flick, definitely give U Me Aur Hum a shot. And while you're at it, keep a handkerchief handy.
Movie rating: 3.5/5 (Very good!)
My classification: PG-13
Music rating: 3/5 (good)

Chowder gets a boost with corn, veggies and chicken! This is a family friendly favorite that we make time and time again!
Someone who was expecting their fourth child asked me the other day how going from three kids to four kids has been. I feel sorry for the poor lady because she asked me on one of those days when I was feeling quite overwhelmed, and I was bluntly honest with her!
I love my family and I love my kids more than anything. I am so proud to be their mom, but yes… going from 3 to 4 kids has totally kicked my butt. Leah, the baby, is about as easy of a baby as one can ask for. She is happy 99% of the time, is laid back and totally melts my heart with every smile she gives me. Ella, the 3 year old, is still challenging, but she can go from making me want to pull my hair out to making me want to pick her up and hold her all day in the matter of a few minutes. She is "spirited" as her teacher says, hilarious and full of spunk. Kelly, who just turned 6, is a mini-mom. She is so helpful and honestly sometimes I feel has a better handle on everyone than I do. Jacob, my 7 year old, is growing up to be such a kind and funny young man. We can have real conversations now… meaningful conversations. It is so interesting to see how his brain works! With Nick's travel schedule, Jacob has really jumped in to help out when Daddy is gone.
I want to say, I would not give up being the mom of 4 kids for anything. I am so in love with my family and could not imagine my life without any of them in it!
The hard part about having 4 kids is not the kids themselves. It is the things I don't feel like I can do anymore. I do not go to the store with all four of them… I just don't. So, that has cut into my normal errand running time and half the time our milk is all gone before I can make it to the store for more. I had to realize that it is no longer possible for me to be head room mom, playdate mom, enroll my kids in whatever activity they want to be in mom. It was the hardest for me to admit that I now have to say no to things that I once freely did with them. I gave up some work opportunities, stopped writing some of the articles I was writing, simply because there aren't enough hours in the day. I used to be on the extreme end of organized with my house and routines, and well… let's just say, that is sooooo not the case with me these days, unfortunately! I'm not very good at adjusting to change, but I am trying… really, truly trying.
So, life has changed and I am making an attempt to get into a comfortable routine, but it just hasn't happened yet. I know Dine & Dish has been sporadic lately… (not to mention poor Culinary Snapshot… I promise, it WILL come back!). I appreciate your patience and friendship and your willingness to keep coming back even though I am not giving a whole lot back in return.
Even though I don't have much to blog about, I had to share this Corn and Veggie Chowder with Chicken recipe with you ASAP. It reminded me of another difficult thing about having the size of family I have. It is hard to find a meal that everyone likes to eat, so when I find it, you can bet I'm holding on to it to repeat time and time again. This Corn and Veggie Chowder with Chicken recipe is one such dish. Inspired by the Corn Chowder over at Simply Recipes, it is meals like this that make life seem easy again!
4 Kids, Life and Dinner (Recipe: Corn and Veggie Chowder with Chicken)

A fire swept through a crowded nightclub in southern Brazil early Sunday, killing at least 245 people and leaving at least 200 injured, police and firefighters said.
Police Maj. Cleberson Braida told local news media that the 245 bodies were brought for identification to a gymnasium in the city of Santa Maria.
That toll apparently would make it the deadliest nightclub fire in more than a decade.
The cause of the fire is not yet known, officials said. Officials earlier put the death toll at 180.
Civil Police and regional government spokesman Marcelo Arigoni told Radio Gaucha earlier that the total number of victims is still unclear and there may be hundreds injured,
The newspaper Diario de Santa Maria reported that the fire started at around 2 a.m. at the Kiss nightclub in the city at the southern tip of Brazil, near the borders with Argentina and Uruguay.
Rodrigo Moura, whom the paper identified as a security guard at the club, said it was at its maximum capacity of between 1,000 and 2,000, and partygoers were pushing and shoving to escape.
Ezekiel Corte Real, 23, was quoted by the paper as saying that he helped people to escape. "I just got out because I'm very strong," he said.
The fire led President Dilma Roussef to cancel a series of meetings she had scheduled at a summit of Latin American and European leaders in Chile's capital of Santiago, and was headed to Santa Maria, according to the Brazilian foreign ministry.
"It is a tragedy for all of us. I am not going to continue in the meeting (in Chile) for very clear reasons," she said.
"Sad Sunday", tweeted Tarso Genro, the governor of the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul. He said all possible action was being taken and that he would be in the city later in the day.
Santa Maria is a university city with a population of around a quarter of a million.
A welding accident reportedly set off a Dec. 25, 2000, fire at a club in Luoyang, China, killing 309.
At least 194 people died at an overcrowded working-class nightclub in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2004.
A blaze at the Lame Horse nightclub in Perm, Russia, broke out on Dec. 5, 2009, when an indoor fireworks display ignited a plastic ceiling decorated with branches, killing 152
A nightclub fire in the U.S. state of Rhode Island in 2003 killed 100 people after pyrotechnics used as a stage prop by the 1980s rock band Great White set ablaze cheap soundproofing foam on the walls and ceiling.
UPDATE: Brazil nightclub fire kills at least 245

Best Places to Take Your Kids Fishing in the Tri-Cities
Taking your kids fishing is a great way to spend some quality time, but at the same time you have to take a lot of things into consideration. For instance, you might want a semi-shady spot so your kid doesn't complain about the 3rd degree sunburn the next day. You also got to worry about tick infestation. How many other family's are going to be there (because you know the kids are going to get their fish lines entangled) or simply a place where you can assure your kids they will catch a fish or two? Here are some great places to take your kids in the Tri-Cities area.
Bateman Island
There are a lot of different lots you can set up a fishing spot at, and all the areas are well spread apart so you don't have to worry about your kids and the kids next to you getting their lines tangled. Also there is tons of shade! But stay out of the tall grass, because that's where the ticks like to hang out!
Howard Amon
Howard Amon (Richland) is a huge park, and lots of fish to catch! You don't have to worry about ticks, or about getting baked in the sun!
Columbia Park
It's a beautiful, big park to take the kids fishing!
West Sylvester Street & Road 54
Perfect hidden spot in Pasco to take the kids!
Hood River
Huge place with many places to fish, also there is tons of shade!
Columbia Park Fishing Pond
Great spot to fish if you want to catch some BIG fish. Only problem is there is most likely a lot of people there too!

Former Pa. Gov. George Leader dies at 95
All of former Pennsylvania Gov. George Leader's living predecessors were among the nearly 500 mourners at his funeral Thursday as friends and family members remembered him as an innovative, energetic and compassionate leader.
Gov. Tom Corbett and former governors Ed Rendell, Mark Schweiker, Tom Ridge and Dick Thornburgh were seated together at the front of Derry Presbyterian Church in Hershey.
Leader, a Democrat who was 95 when died May 9 following a brief illness, served as governor from 1955 to 1959. He was the state's second-youngest chief executive, sworn into office at age 37.
As governor, Leader fought to rid the state government of political patronage and make special education a requirement in Pennsylvania schools. After serving the maximum one term allowed by law at the time and making an unsuccessful bid for U.S. Senate, he remained involved in politics and advocated for prison reform while building a successful business career.
His three children delivered separate eulogies to their father during a 90-minute service that opened with the singing of "We Shall Overcome" and concluded with the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Leader's daughter, Jane Leader Janeczek, said she discovered in her father's files an outline for his funeral service he had written in 2001 with the annotation, "I hope it will not be used for another 10 or 15 years because I'm feeling wonderful today."
The Rev. Richard Houtz, the church's pastor, told a story to illustrate Leader's willingness to help people in need.
Houtz said Leader called him five years ago about a used van that the church was planning to trade in for a new one. Leader offered to buy and repair the old van at his own expense so he could ship it to Ghana to provide transportation to school for children in an orphanage he was supporting there.
"Who could say no to that vision and commitment to serve poor children in a distant land? Who could ask a single penny for that old van? Not us," he said. "And so Derry Presbyterian Church was invited and caught up and blessed in reaching out to serve some children in need in a place we might never have thought of, had it not been for the commitment and the passion of George Leader."
David Leader, the youngest son, humorously contrasted his father's post-politics success in the field of nursing homes and assisted-living centers with his ideas for other businesses that included turning the family's York County farm into a wild-animal park or opening a restaurant that served eggs exclusively.
"Dad believed in challenging the status quo at every turn," he said. "He had lots of brilliant ideas and, in fact, he called all of his ideas brilliant ideas for his whole life."

An Entire Store?! Why am I Even Surprised?
Are you kidding me?! An infant one-sy and a baby's bib!? Yes, nothing says class like a 5 month old sporting the word "Fuck" across his chest.
I hear in time for next year's M/Tosu game in Columbus, this fine store is going to sell a "Fuck Michigan" baby bottle so that proud Buckeye parents can fill it with beer and teach little Junior how to throw it at Michigan fans walking down High Street.
People who buy this stuff have serious issues.
17 comments:
I think if you ask the majority of Buckeye fans, they would not even venture toward buying stuff like that. Even on Buckeye fan boards, the most hear phrase is "Michigan still sucks" And that's even done mostly in fun. Most decent fans have respect for Michigan even if they call it scUM. Just makes a rivalry more fun in most cases. But there's no excuse for that kind of profane junk. The same kind of folks who sell that kind of stuff call tOSU "Suckeyes" and worse. As always, the stupid and idiotic tends to grab attention more than the average joe.

I agree with you, DB, in that a little smack talk is fun in the rivalry. It's the vile stuff - on either side - that is uncalled for.
Good comments. I can't believe I'm going to say this to a Buckeye, but you are welcome here anytime (if you can stand being surrounded by all of us Wolverines).
- November 30, 2005 11:50 PM
It probably started with the song "We don't give a da** for the whole state of Michigan" and how Woody loathed the state up north in a healthy way, and folks have taken it and turned it out of control. Crazies need some sort of a cause, and trying to demean someone or something else is often what happens.

i have to say...as a michigan fan i find it kind of amusing, but then i've never been to columbus on a gameday, either.

...i would also note that it's not a "store" per se. cafepress is a web-only, print-on-demand thing. get an idea and slap it on a shirt without actually making them...i've made over $2 on my store (by the way, want a "feed lindsay" t-shirt?)
- December 01, 2005 7:31 AM
did anyone else notice they spelled "lewd" wrong? they have it as "lewed" in the text of their site intro.
- December 01, 2005 12:34 PM
- Yost said...
I've just started to ignore most of the spelling on pro-Tosu sites. I've come to realize things like that and grammar are really thought of as optional life skills to have for most Buckeye fans.

Let's try that again:
Never been to Columbus for the game? One bit of advice: Don't go. But if you do, bring your own NAVY SEAL team for protection.
One other option: wear Buckeye gear in order not to be harrassed but then live with the shame for the rest of your natural life.

There is no question that the rabid element among OSU fans has taken its cue and inspiration from Woody Hayes, who was magnetic enough to make absolute fruitbat crazy into a trend. Those who remember Woody have passed their attitude on to their kids, and the cycle will continue unless OSU gets another coach who is long-lived and memorable enough to engender his own cult of personality -- not likely these days. (Paterno, Bowden, Spurrier and Pete Carroll, who has such terrible bandwagon fans they probably are immune to the imprint of his personality, are the only current coaches who are that much larger-than-life. Oh, and Mark Mangino.)
Most programs with a similar coach in living memory seem to have emblazoned certain aspects of that coach's style on their fan culture. Penn State fans are argumentative and paranoid interspersed with charming and congenial. FSU fans are full of big talk, hedonistic, yet oddly grim and inert in the face of disappointment.
The other thing to remember about OSU is that so many students are in-state, so they grew up surrounded by the mania of their parents and of many other folks they knew. By comparison, Michigan fans are more geographically diverse.

Brain, I nominate you for M Zone POST OF THE DAY. All of the reasons you mention (Woody and the in-state nature of OSU students) are definitely strong explanations as to why so many of their fans would be interested in pruchasing these items. I also think that football is a bigger deal in Ohio than in Michigan. Look at the rabid follwing the Browns have. Also, high school football is HUGE there. If you doubt me, rent "Go Tigers!" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0270971/).
I also think that since Tosu is the only game in town for college football, it leads to some of the "mob mentality" in Columbus. Ohio has over 11 million people and while they may be divided regarding the Browns and Bengals, or the Indians and Reds, they all cheer for the Buckeyes. Meanwhile, half the state of Michigan hate the Wolverines.

I like the idea of giving OSU fans the "fuck Michigan" bottles so that they may fill the bottles with beer to throw at Michigan fans - OR - the MICHIGAN FANS CAN KEEP THE BOTTLES for the next time Michigan has recruits on the sidelines in Ann Arbor while playing against Notre Dame. I laughed my ass of when I saw pics of Michigan recruits covering their heads while trying to avoid being hit in the head by bottles Michigan fans were throwing. And seeing how the Michigan fans were crying like babies, how ironic is it that we are talking about baby bottles? Thanks for the laugh!

Agreed. Even "Muck Fichigan" would be too much for me to put on an infant.
As for gameday, when I was a freshman at tOSU, 4 guys in full Maize and Blue sat next to me in the student section and had no problems- even in the first half when UM went ahead by about 28.
Then I went to Ann Arbor in 97. Wow. Wear scarlet and gray in Ann Arbor on game day, and you learn how to cuss like a UM frat boy and get snowballs thrown at you. On the other hand, no one physically assaulted me when I walked back up those 275 rows after the game while Woodson waved Roses.
Read through a little of this blog today, and I am surprised about the $100 jokes given the Fab Five history. Now if it were Northwestern making fun of both of us...

Ahhh...nothing says "white trash gritter" like dropping the F-Bomb on a baby's onesie. Why don't they just cut to the chase and put Meister Brau in his bottle and get the little tyke started on his first mullett?

Dr. Strangehayes and Bo will be watching this one together. Woody lost it in '69 breaking the down's marker over his leg-- and the way he lost it in the late 70's punching an opposing player will never be forgotten. Bo had his own downfall in the Tiger's front office-- you can't fuck with a broadcasting legend like Ernie Harwell and survive. Oh, and by the way, Buck the Fuckeyes is a lot classier...

Jeff Monchilov used to spend the cold Michigan winters rebuilding Chevelles and Corvettes, driving each new creation after the spring thaw. When summer drew to a close, he would sell his latest resto and start on another project. This cycle went on for 25 years, until Monchilov found a worn-out '80 Corvette in the winter of 2009. The coupe had no engine and a very ratty interior, making it a perfect project car.
Monchilov had two C6 headlight buckets in his garage, and he soon began visualizing what they would look like on his old, beat-up C3. He made some sketches to see how the lights might appear once installed, and he found he liked the effect. Next, he searched for a C6 front bumper to help him fit the lights into the third-gen's front end. He located a torn Z06 bumper cover at a nearby wrecking yard, had a local fiberglass shop make a mold of it, and used the resulting copy on his project.
He immediately noticed that the new bumper was wider than the one on his '80, so he narrowed it to fit. He then added some modified L88 fender flares and a fender vent that looked like the ones used on the C6 Z06.
After the front clip was completed, he started modifying the Corvette's rear. Using the same process he employed up front, he fitted a C6-style rear bumper to the car. This job included blending a set of L88 fender flares into the rear clip. The original panels were stripped off of the car, and the new body was glued onto the Corvette's original steel birdcage structure. The stock doors, windows, and roof were blended into the overall design, with impressive results.
Next, the chassis was removed, cleaned, and powdercoated. New front upper and lower control arms, springs, and bushings were added, along with new trailing arms, springs, and bushings for the rear. Fresh brakes, shocks, and fuel lines brought the frame back to as-purchased condition. When the work was completed, the frame was reinstalled under the car.
Next up was the interior. This portion of the project included fabricating a new dashpad and instrument-panel cover. A standard C6 center-console cover was used to help blend the new IP into the late-model housing. Aftermarket instruments were then fitted to a flat plate and installed in the revised opening. Monchilov also fabricated new door pulls and a center armrest, installing them alongside a pair of C6 Z06 seats. Black carpet completed the interior modifications, leaving the finished cabin looking modern and tasteful.
Finally, Monchilov and his friend Bruce Kuznicki prepared the completed body for painting--but not before it was taken to the same local fiberglass company to make a mold of the finished product. C6 Velocity Yellow was added to make the unique creation stand out from the crowd, and stand out it does. The engine remains stock at this writing, but future plans call for upgrading the powerplant to match the modern looks of the body.
It took one-and-half years to complete this stunning C3/C6 Corvette hybrid, and the public reaction has thus far been very positive. A convertible version is nearing completion, and full body kits are being offered through Monchilov's newly formed company, SpeedVette. If you want to give your tired C3 a new look, give him a call at (989) 400-6798 for more information on creating your own high-style hybrid.

Carol you have the best of everything to taste where you are, it looks like everyone brings their products to Paris. It's true Agen prunes are the best, I eat 3 three every morning. Never thought of spritzing my apple tarts with cognac, My guilty secret,don't tell anyone ha ha. I prefer mine in a coffee.ReplyDelete
A really outstanding collection of photos, Carol.ReplyDelete
The ducks are a great opening! Very cute.
The sandwiches look delicious and better than anything in my town.
Great shot of Notre Dame!
Jambon..fromage..saucisson..baguette..your tasting plate looks just right..never tasted those pruneaux..ReplyDelete
Love the spritz trick..great idea..I just froze a few crêpes..
I don't know what you should do with the dried magret..
But I did Google and one of my very favorite QC personalities..(I love her..I know that sounds funny but I do..!) had this on her site..
She explains how to dry your own but further on says it is good with melon..fresh figs..pears..:)
I guess like a prosciutto.
My son-in-law would know he loves all forms of duck.
Everyone looks so nice:)
Carol, what a wonderful three day event! You were wise to attend twice, and what feasting was possible, along with so much inspiration for using some of these fabulous ingredients after this particular weekend.ReplyDelete
(Confession: I have never tasted escargot. Please forgive me.)
Your early evening entry to magnificent Notre Dame perhaps encourage me to make that culinary confession. Sincerely.
What a magnificent event! I love it that they give away fruit to the kids. The charcuterie plates look fantastic. As does your prune galette. I do think that I might need to start spritzing most things with armagnac.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing info. Retain up the fantastic function...We hope you might pay a visit to our info formation normally as we discuss topics of interest for youReplyDelete

Reading your delicious blog and all of the comments inspired me.Not only will I spritz my next fruit tart with Armagnac,but I just pulled an unopened bottle,carried home from Paris in April,out my cupboard,and put a few drops in my coffee. I'll definitely do that again,but maybe in the evening with decaf coffee (a better idea). Not to worry,I'm off to my Zumba class soon to work off any small effect.ReplyDelete

I love your blog but I must tell you that the happiest picture for me was the picture of the women in the band. Real regular sized women! I swear(call me naïve)but I really was under the impression that absolutely all French women are super slim and so chic and all of the food you show had me baffled as to how they managed this miracle. Mystery solved-they all don'tReplyDelete
Thank you J
I haven't read the other comments (yet) but I can tell you about the magret de canard - you open that packet a good 30' before using the meat and then you add it decorously on a mixed leaf salad - et voilà. An excellent little 'repas léger' and fabulous with a glass of dark red and honestly, with an Armagnac as 'apéro' and some 'prunes d'Agen' for dessert you're set for the day... :)ReplyDelete
bon app
FABULOUS suggestion Kiki and the best so far. I tried puttiing it on a buckwheat crepe in the oven = big mistake. Not meant to be roasted I think,..ReplyDelete
- Anonymous2:31 PM
I want that apple tarte....that was fun looking at the event....and to go to church too..ReplyDelete
The magret seche is EXCELLENT on mache or watercress with cut up pears and and a little roquefort cheese "sprinkled on top" I would suggest a framboise vinegrette…balsamic or champagne vinegrette is also delicious. Thsi is my standard "entrée" before I served my Paella. The recipes are on my blog :)ReplyDelete

Je had me salivating the entire length of the post. My nostrils were quivering just trying to smell the charcuterie and the apples. Notre Dame was so beautiful at that time of the evening. Thank you for such wonderful photos and your posts about Giverny were fantastic, I felt that I was back there. Have a fantastic day :)ReplyDelete
You are braver than I am...I just can't eat duck. Too much Disney in my childhood perhaps.ReplyDelete
Oh, I want to go to a gastronomic fete! I can just smell every single bit right here, oozing out of my computer (though oozing isn't as appetizing as "wafting.") Looks fabulous!ReplyDelete

Governor Sees Big Auto Parade
Mardi Gras Festival Feature of
Big Carnival Week
Blanche Thompson (Worcester) Crowned Carnival Queen
September 1915
["Lynn, Mass., Oct. 21, 1915 - J. Chauncey Redding, of Melrose, and Philip Bulman, of Malden, were killed today by the fall of a biplane in which they were making an experimental flight." three weeks after this picture was taken.]
HAMPTON BEACH, N.H., Sept. 9 -- Yesterday and today have been the biggest days of Carnival week here, and each day thousands of visitors have been present to witness the various events arranged by the carnival committees.
A feature of today was the big automobile parade with nearly 100 cars in line, all gaily decorated with flowers, the national colors, and pennants. The parade formed on F st. at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon, and the line of march ... [unreadable] ... by the Ocean boulevard, thence to F St. by way of Marsh (Ashworth) ave., thence to the (Hampton Beach) Casino, where the parade was reviewed by Gove. Rolland H. Spaulding and other visiting New Hampshire officials, thence to A st. to Marsh (Ashworth) ave. and back to the starting point, where the parade was dismissed.
The committee arranging the parade included John C. White, L. C. Ring, and J. J. Lucier, while in charge of the automobile and motorcycle races which took place later upon the beach were ... [unreadable] ... included F. James, president of the Hampton Beach Board of Trade, under whose auspices the carnival is being held; W. J. Bigley, John A. MacAdams, superintendent of the Exeter and Hampton electric railway; Frank E. Nason, manager of the Casino and Ocean house; Thomas L. Sanborn, of the Sea View house, George Tilton and others.
In the afternoon at 4 o'clock, Aviator J. Chauncey Redding and J. Howard Bushway gave a demonstration in mid-air, showing how in actual warfare a defended fort is bombarded and destroyed by intrepid aviators high in the air and out of reach of the fort's guns. The act was a most thrilling one and was witnessed by thousands of spectators. On the day previous owing to an accident, Aviator Redding was unable to make an ascent ... [unreadable] ... to drop by parachute from the aeroplane at a height of 9,000 feet. Several attempts were made, but the machine was not in working order.
Mardi Gras Festival
Band concerts were given by Higgins band at intervals during the afternoon, and at 8 o'clock this evening came the grand illumination with confetti battles. Confetti was everywhere in evidence, and a great amount of merriment prevailed, the diversion being a novel one in this vicinity. The climax of the evening came at 9:30 o'clock with the opening of the big Mardi Gras festival which was participated in by thousands of summer guests and visitors. There was a long parade of masqueraders which made a detour of points about the beach, finally assembling at the Casino where the King and Queen of the carnival were escorted to an improved throne fashioned of flowers, flags and foliage. The parade formed at Nudd's avenue and followed the line of the sea-wall walk, finally assembling at the band stand.
Miss Blanche Thompson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred J. Thompson of Haverhill, was the fortunate one to be crowned queen, a great amount of rivalry having existed in the contest for honors. [Arthur Ford took the honors for being crowned Carnival King.] The ceremonial was exceedingly attractive and music by the band and the throwing of confetti made a handsome observance, never before witnessed at this resort. Votes ins the contest were sold at one cent each, the proceeds being expended in the carnival, while the one turning in to the committee the biggest sum was entitled to the honor of queen, and was also awarded a ride in the aeroplane with Aviator Redding. Another prize bestowed here was a $50 diamond ring. Other prizes awarded the next three contestants were a set of china, a silver service, and a chest of silver.
The festivities of the day were concluded with a grand display of fireworks on the beach opposite the Casino, the band playing a program of patriotic airs.
The program arranged for Friday includes a procession devoted to the interests of agriculture, with a civic and trades parade at 1:30 o'clock. This will form on F st., and a feature will be several of the local fire companies, decorated conveyances, and other attractions. There will be a full list of sporting events, and at 2:30 o'clock there will be an agricultural meeting in the opera house with a program of exercises furnished by the extension department of the New Hampshire State college at Durham. There will also be an exhibition of farm products held in connection with the exercises. Aviator Redding will make an ascension with a parachute drop by Philip Bulman and there will be another illumination fireworks, a band concert, and confetti battles.
First Beach Queen Returns to Hampton Beach
The First "Carnival Queen"
Blanche (Thompson) Worcestor
September 9, 1915
The Beachcomber, July 8, 1971
There's only one Blanche Thompson Worcestor and she was the very first "Carnival Queen" ["Carnival Queens" up to 1945, then "Miss Hampton Beach"to the present]. She was crowned on September 9 in the year 1915.
Blanche recalls fondly that she was crowned by Marion Evans who was later to become her sister-in-law. Arthur Ford of the Pelham Hotel was Blanche's King.
Times have changed. When Blanche won, she was called the Carnival Queen and there was a King. Now the title is Miss Hampton Beach [title was changed in 1946] and there is no King .
That's not all that's different though. Back in 1915, the candidates for Carnival Queen had to solicit funds in order to participate. The carnival was held the week after Labor Day so that expenses for Carnival Week could be met. The Pageant is now held on July 22nd.
The Carnival Queen recalls that she raised a little over $300 (with a little help from her Dad). When she took top honors, she received a large heart shaped box of candy, a diamond ring, and an airplane ride. Blanche has had the diamond reset in another ring and still wears it.
Probably the most thrilling part of her crowning was her ride with Chauncey Redding in a biplane. She remembers that they took off from Hampton and flew up to 1,000 feet and then landed in the sand with a flat tire.
Competition was keen back in the Old Days for decorating automobiles. Blanche went to work on her mother's Cadillac and won the first three prizes. She recalls that the "car was really beautiful."
Blanche loves Hampton Beach and she returned for her birthday this past June 4th. Blanche was 75 years young on that day. When she comes up here she stays at the Bailey Motel [now Bailey's Beach Resort at North Beach]. She says she likes the friendly atmosphere and the way Randy's bridges the generation gap.
Blanche is in and of herself a bridge to the generation gap. She is a real go getter that has put 101,175 miles on her 1966 Pontiac. The smile and personality that won her the honor of being the first Miss Hampton Beach, still shines through.
Blanche's philosophy of life is, "Spend it while you got it because you can't take it with you."
The first Miss Hampton Beach like the present one, Janice Janes, is a Mass. resident. She was living in Haverhill, Mass. when she won and she now resides in Bradford, Mass.
Blanche's parents were well known on Hampton Beach. They owned what used to be the Seacoy Cottage for fifteen years.
Blanche married a doctor and now has two sons and a daughter-in-law who are doctors. She said, "Naturally, I'm in good shape."
The first Miss Hampton Beach is still going strong at 75 and if there was a senior citizens beauty pageant, she would probably walk away with the honors.
Blanche notes the change in Hampton Beach each year but the warmest spot in her heart is still reserved for that day on September 9, 1915 when she was crowned Carnival Queen.
At the tender age of 17, it certainly had to be one of the high points in her life.
The first Hampton Beach Beauty Queen spent the fourth of July weekend at the Bailey Motel. She said, "I'm up here to have a really good time!" I'm sure she did.
1915 Carnival Queen To Return
First "Miss Hampton Beach" Now 73
By Bill Robinson
Hampton Union, Ca. 1969
HAMPTON BEACH -- Touched by a bit of nostalgia, the original Miss Hampton Beach will return to this popular summer resort this weekend.
Mrs. Blanche (Thompson) Worcester was crowned as: Carnival Queen Sept. 9, 1915, at Hampton Beach when she was 17.
The now 73-year-old Mrs. Worcester is the weekend guest of the Bailey Motel, formerly the Aqua Rama. Adjacent to the motel is Randy's Gay 90's where she will greet many of her old and young friends and reminisce about the "good old times" at the beach.
At Randy's, the so-called generation gap is suspended as persons from age 21 to 90 mingle and enjoy the old tunes knocked out by a ragtime band which sits on a carousel.
There she will join others and dance around the carousel to several patriotic songs and at the end of the evening, as on all evenings at Randy's, she and others will pay tribute to America's war dead by singing "God Bless America."
The Bailey Motel and Randy's Gay 90's has the distinction of being the first dwelling house erected on the beach. It was built by John Elkins in 1800 on a knoll called Nut Island.
A few years later, Mrs. Elkins sold the building to Moses Leavitt. Since that time, it has been known as the Leavitt Homestead.
Leavitt moved into the house with his family and opened a lodging house for the accommodation of fishermen and fishmongers, who in the winter came from their homes in Vermont with large horse teams to be loaded with fish, which they brought back frozen to be sold in the Canadian markets.
The nearby barn, now Randy's was used by the fishermen to house their horses. It was converted into a motion picture house in 1935 by Mr. and Mrs. Lewis B. Marble and was named the "Barn Theater."
The basic shape of the buildings, including the barn, is unchanged. The original beams still support the huge barn and are left uncovered.
Two Aviators Die In Fall At Lynn, 1915
Biplane collapses - bodies found buried in mud of Massachusetts marsh
Newsclipping From Unidentified Newspaper
[Courtesy of Joe Sanford (1/3/03) & Ralph Cooper (8/3/05)]
"Lynn, Mass., Oct. 21, 1915 - J. Chauncey Redding, of Melrose, and Philip Bulman, of Malden, were killed today by the fall of a biplane in which they were making an experimental flight."
Redding, who was the manager of the Saugus Aviation School, was the operator of the machine and Bulman was his mechanician. They had risen from the aviation field and were soaring over the marshes nearby when the wing framework appeared to collapse and the machine dropped.
Both men were buried to a depth of two feet in the soft mud of the marsh and were dead when taken out.
In the home of Redding, in Malden, the police tonight found several imitation bombs and at Bulman's home a broken parachute. According to District Attorney Sullivan, neither Redding or Bulman had an aviators license.
For the last two weeks the boys have been at the Saugus Aviation Course. Their biplane, equipped with a 60-horsepower engine, had made many flights, and from it Bulman had made a parachute jump in Boston, a year ago, landing on the common.
A few weeks ago Bulman was at Brockton, where he was to do a parachute jump with James Olsen, the latter deciding to make the flight alone and was killed for his pains when a gust of wind overturned the plane. On July 6, at a celebration in Malden, Bulman made a parachute jump which resulted in his sustaining a broken ankle, and the flight he made this afternoon was the first since that time.
Redding was the son of an electrician and had for some time practiced aviation, and expected to become a member of some aviation corps in Europe.

Riley Sheahan is facing charges of being "super-drunk" after his arrest in October during which cops say the 20-year-old Detroit Red Wings prospect had a blood-alcohol content of .30 while driving and wearing a Tinky Winky costume.
Sheahan, the Wings' top draft pick in 2010, is also charged with lying to police when he allegedly claimed to be teammate Brendan Smith after being arrested October 29th in Grand Rapids, where he plays for the AHL's Griffins. The Canadian was previously arrested while a freshman playing at Notre Dame for public drunkenness.
Sheahan has three goals and two assists in 15 games so far this season for the Griffins, and is facing charges under Michigan's new "super-drunk" law designed to address drunk drivers who blow above a .17 on a breathalyzer.

Checking in on… the Mountain WestPosted by jstevrtc on January 1st, 2010
Andrew Murawa is the RTC correspondent for the Mountain West Conference.
Standings (as of 12/30):
- New Mexico 13-1
- San Diego State 10-3
- Colorado State 8-5
- Air Force 7-5
- Wyoming 6-7
- Utah 6-7
Team of the Week: New Mexico – Hard to pick one given the slim pickings this time of year, but we'll give the nod to New Mexico (rather than BYU for destroying Arizona in epic fashion on Monday) for handling a solid Texas Tech team in impressive fashion. The Lobos had five players score in double figures, led by junior Darington Hobson who had 23 points, 12 rebounds and four assists. They led by 12 at the half, and following a brief Red Raider run to start the second half, coasted to a 15 point victory at the Pit. Freshman wing Curtis Dennis also provided a spark with strong defense, hustle plays and 16 points along the way.
Player of the Week: Jimmer Fredette, Jr, BYU — Fredette got going early and often against Arizona on Tuesday night, pouring in 49 points (on 16-23 shooting, including 9-13 from three), while adding seven rebounds and nine assists for one of the most complete games that anybody across the country has put up this season. Fredette's explosion was the most points scored in BYU history, and the most points scored in the history of the McKale Center.
Newcomer of the Week: Darington Hobson, Jr, New Mexico – Hobson takes home his third NOTW award from this space with his performance against Texas Tech detailed above. He has been simply amazing at times this year, an incredibly versatile force who can grab a strong rebound at one end of the floor, weave his way up court and either find an open Lobo for an easy finish, complete the play himself with either a gliding finger-roll or a pull-up three or settle back in to run the half court offense. If you haven't had a chance to see Hobson yet this season, look him up when you get a chance, as all but one Lobo game the rest of the season will be televised somewhere, mostly on The MTN.
Game of the Week: Air Force 77 Niagara 71 – Okay, it was a slow week, and between some big blowout wins by MWC powers and some ugly losses, there weren't a whole lot of contenders for this title. We'll give the nod here to the Falcons, who had five players score in double figures on the way to building up to a lead as big as 10. But the Purple Eagles came strong down the stretch, pulling to within one with under a minute to play, but Air Force was able to maintain its lead by knocking down its free throws in the end. Junior guard Evan Washington continued his strong play for the Falcons, racking up 19 points and eight boards, while junior forward Tom Fow added 17.
Games of the Upcoming Week: UNLV @ BYU, January 6th – While the MWC season opens a day earlier in San Diego, this will give us a good look at two of the contenders for the MWC crown. Both teams feature strong perimeter games and tough defenses, but it may come down to who can control the paint and the glass with guys like BYU's Noah Hartsock, Chris Miles and James Anderson battling it out with UNLV's Matt Shaw, Darris Santee and Chace Stanback for interior control.
League Notes:
It's been a slow week around the Mountain West, with only Air Force playing more than once, and with the non-conference slate wrapping up and the conference games set to begin, it is time to look at how the teams have positioned themselves with an eye towards the NCAA tournament. The conference as a whole took a step forward with respect to their strength of the non-conference schedule, which helps the teams at the top of the conference continue to build their resumes through the conference season, but has left the bottom of the conference likely already out of the chase for even the lesser postseason tournaments. Despite the much-talked-about weakness of the Pac-10 this season, the MWC still only ranks as the seventh strongest conference in the nation (just ahead of the A-10 and C-USA, according to KenPom, through December 29), having compiled a 81-38 (through Wednesday) record thus far this season, but having fallen to 10-11 against BCS conference schools.
Team Roundups:
New Mexico
Looking back: New Mexico's difficult non-conference schedule continued this week as they handed Texas Tech their second loss of the season, detailed above.
While there is still one more big hurdle in their non-conference play, Steve Alford's squad has already notched victories over Louisiana Tech, Cal, Texas A&M, Creighton and Texas Tech and done more than enough to consider their pre-conference play a rousing success. Hobson has emerged as a dominant force in the conference, and there is enough talent surrounding him to make New Mexico a legitimate national threat.
Looking ahead: The Lobos host Dayton on New Year's Day for another shot at a quality non-conference victory before beginning their conference schedule on Tuesday at San Diego State.
New Mexico has established itself as a co-favorite (along with BYU) to win the MWC regular season title and has laid the groundwork for an almost certain NCAA bid. They have enough versatile parts (four different players in the rotation that can run the point, a host of talented wings, athletic defenders) to cause matchup problems for bigger teams, but may be a little thin in the paint, with only sophomores Will Brown and A.J. Hardeman providing legitimate interior presences. And, perhaps more than anything else, this is an incredibly young team, with only one senior (wing Roman Martinez) seven freshmen and sophomores in their rotation, leaving some questions as to how this team will be able to fare under the pressure of March.
Looking back: Just one game for the Cougars this week, but they made sure to supply plenty of excitement to tide the fans over until conference play begins with a 99-69 win over Arizona at the McKale Center, the largest loss an Arizona team had experienced in the history of that venue. But that wasn't the only record set that night as junior guard Jimmer Fredette went off for 49 points (detailed above).
While New Mexico got most of the press in the MWC due to their extended undefeated run, BYU has slipped under the radar a bit on their way to currently being ranked number five in the most recent KenPom rankings, with their biggest win over Arizona State and their only loss on the road at Utah State.
Looking ahead: The Cougars have a cupcake against Eastern New Mexico before opening their conference season at home against UNLV (1/6). They'll then travel to UTEP (1/9) for their final non-conference game of the season in a game that may be their biggest test of the season so far.
BYU has been among the most efficient teams on both ends of the floor thus far this season, and while Fredette deservedly gets the lion's share of the credit for that, junior guard Jackson Emery has been a revelation thus far this season as well, thus far ranking second in the nation in both Effective Field Goal Percentage (73%) and True Shooting Percentage (74.9%). While it may be too soon to tell if he can keep up that kind of pace, BYU seems like a sure thing. They should compete for a conference title, and still have plenty of leeway to capture an at-large bid should they come up a bit short.
Looking back: UNLV's last game in the non-conference schedule was the championship game of the inaugural Diamond Head Classic against USC on Christmas Day, and the Rebels had some of their weaknesses exposed as USC proved to be the more physical team. The Trojans were able to slow the pace of the game down and held Vegas to 34% shooting from the field including a paltry 5/22 from three-point.
When all is said and done, the Rebels come out of the non-conference portion of their schedule with a nice looking 12-2 record, but deeper examination shows only a win over Louisville as the best win on the schedule for the Rebs. While there is nothing that could be considered a bad loss, the Rebels will have to have a strong conference performance to improve their potential at-large resume.
Looking ahead: The Rebels will find out at lot about themselves at the start of their Mountain West schedule, as they will travel to face BYU (1/6) and New Mexico (1/9) in their first two conference games before returning home to host San Diego State (1/13) and Utah (1/16).
While the half-court offense for the Rebels is definitely a question mark, there is no doubt that this is a very good defensive team, and this is a team that will likely make its stand by forcing turnovers defensively while controlling the ball offensively; Vegas is not a team that is going to give a lot of games away. Further, this is a team that should improve over the season as their newcomers (two transfers and two freshmen among their rotation) get used to their new teammates and system. The Rebels may not have the horses to compete with New Mexico and BYU for the conference title, but they should be a tournament-contender all season long.
San Diego State
Looking back: San Diego State's lone game of the week was a closer-than-should-have-been squeaker over UC Riverside. The Aztecs led by as many as 10 in the second half, but Riverside got back within a point on a Kyle Austin jumper with 44 seconds left. Austin had a game-tying three-point attempt blocked by junior Malcolm Thomas blocked in the waning moments and SDSU escaped with a five-point win.
The Aztecs have one more cupcake remaining in their non-conference schedule and seem poised to take an 11-3 record into the conference schedule, but have no real impressive wins under their belt yet. Wins over teams like Arizona and Fresno State were impressive, hard-fought wins, but the two best teams that the Aztecs faced, Saint Mary's and Arizona State, handed them two of their three losses.
Looking ahead: SDSU will face Pomona-Pitzer on New Year's Eve to complete their non-conference schedule, then will host New Mexico in the Mountain West Conference opener on Tuesday.
Like other teams around the conference, the Aztecs have a lot of new faces this year in the form of freshmen, transfers and even returning players taking on new roles. As the season has progressed, players have settled into their roles and the team has improved steadily from week to week, and has turned into a very strong team on the glass, especially on the offensive end. While they will take a strong record into conference play, they still have plenty of work to do to shore up their postseason resume, and will likely need a strong third-place MWC finish combined with a win or two over opponents like BYU, New Mexico or UNLV in order to make their odds of an at-large tournament bid more realistic.
Colorado State
Looking back: The Rams traveled to Fresno on Monday, and, as unlikely as it may seem, the plane trip to Fresno may have been the highlight of the week. Because once the ball was in the air, the Rams were largely absent. They made just five of 28 field goal attempts in the first half, missed all ten of their threes and were down 36-13 after 20 minutes of play. If that weren't bad enough, they slept through the opening few minutes of the second half, allowing the Bulldogs to score the first 11 of the half, and found themselves down 34 points on the way to a 23-point embarrassment.
While the Rams built up a little confidence in early December with a four game winning streak, they have now lost two straight and find themselves a game away from conference play with an exciting win over Colorado as their high point.
Looking ahead: CSU hosts Yale on New Year's Eve before opening conference play with a trip to Wyoming (1/6) and a home game against Air Force (1/9). If the Rams hope to make any splash in MWC play this year, those first two games against teams that they can beat are musts.
The Rams have some upside, with three freshmen (guard Dorian Green and forwards Greg Smith and Pierce Hornung) that they are excited about, but seem destined for a lower division MWC finish. They simply don't have the athletes or consistency to play with the premier teams in the conference, but with a little luck could make a run at a CBI or one of the other seven (I believe) post-season college basketball tournaments.
Air Force
Looking back: It's possible Air Force had the most interesting week of all the MWC teams, as they competed in the final non-conference tournament of the season, the Sun Bowl Invitational at El Paso. The Falcons showed well for themselves, knocking off a tough Niagara team in the semifinal round before losing to host UTEP in the championship. Once again, the Falcons played without leading scorer and rebounder Grant Parker, who has now missed the last five games with a groin injury. Sophomore center Sammy Schafer has also now missed nine straight games with complications from a concussion. No firm return date is set for either player at this point.
Looking ahead: The Falcons host Texas-Pan American on Saturday then kick off their MWC play at TCU on Wednesday. If all goes well, Parker and Schafer could possibly return for the MWC opener.
While the current 7-5 record may not look all that pretty, you have to give credit to the Falcons for mostly beating the teams that they were supposed to beat (with the exception of Northern Arizona) and even sneaking in an upset. While the majority of the Falcons' wins so far have been over the weak-sisters of Division I (and even lesser divisions) like UC Davis, Prairie View A&M and Dickinson State, they snuck in a win on a neutral court over a good Niagara team this past week. While coach Jeff Reynolds should harbor no illusions about being a NCAA tournament contender (barring an unlikely run through the MWC tournament), the Falcons have improved from last season. They'll need to finish near .500 in a tough MWC, however, in order to have any chance for a non-NCAA tournament postseason bid.
Looking back: The Horned Frogs became the third MWC team to lose to Northern Colorado, as they fell to the Bears on Wednesday night by 11. After a close first half, a 14-4 run gave Northern Colorado a comfortable working margin and the Frogs were never within a possession of the lead the rest of the game.
For a fairly talented team that looked like a solid middle-of-the-pack MWC at the beginning of the year, the month of December has been tough for the Frogs as they have only posted one win over a Division I school in five tries, adding a win over an NAIA school along the way. While fairly effective offensively and featuring several very skilled players, they have been absolutely abysmal defensively, ranking near the bottom of Division I in a variety of statistics, and their only wins on the season have come against the dregs of D-I. The Horned Frogs have played a very difficult schedule in the early season (KenPom ranks it the 36th toughest schedule in the nation), but have thus far shown an inability to hang with good teams.
Looking ahead: TCU hosts Rice in their final non-conference game on Saturday, then hosts Air Force on Wednesday in their conference opener.
With a 6-7 record at this point, TCU would have to play their conference schedule above .500 to have postseason hopes. Given their defensive struggles to this point, that seems increasingly unlikely. While they feature an very good offensive point in sophomore Ronnie Moss, an excellent shooter in senior Edvinas Ruzgas, a skilled big man in senior Zvonko Buljan and a hustling glue-guy in sophomore Kevin Butler, they lack the athleticism to guard effective offensive teams well enough to compete with the elite MWC teams.
Looking back: Wyoming's home court advantage at 7000-plus feet of elevation didn't seem so scary Wednesday night as Akron was the team to finish strong, posting a 16-7 run in the final four minutes to finish off the Cowboys. Wyoming played without freshman point guard JayDee Luster who sat out with an injured shoulder, and Akron's tiny point Humpty Hitchens got off for 16 points and three three-pointers to lead the Zips.
While Wyoming plays at one of the highest tempos in the nation, their offense has been horribly inefficient, averaging significantly less than a point per offensive possession. While some key injuries (to Luster, who has yet to be healthy this season, and sophomore leading scorer Afam Muojeke, who missed four games with a knee injury) and the overall youth of the team (eight sophomores and freshmen among the 10-man rotation) are to blame for some of it, this just isn't a very talented Wyoming team.
Looking ahead: Wyoming hosts Adams State on Saturday to round out their conference schedule and likely get them back to .500 for the season before hosting Colorado State in their MWC opener on Wednesday.
The Cowboys are another in a line of teams at the bottom of the MWC conference who have dug themselves a hole in their non-conference play. They'll need to compile a .500 or better record against a tough conference to give themselves a chance at any type of postseason play (the NCAAs are out of the question), and given their inability to get quality possessions offensively, there is no reason to suspect that the Cowboys are capable of playing .500 ball the rest of the way. Likely, the rest of this season will be dedicated to finding out who they have that they can build upon next year, especially with Luster and fellow freshman guard Desmar Jackson.
Looking back: The Utes got things headed back in the right direction by hanging one on a solid Texas-San Antonio team Tuesday night. Sophomore center David Foster returned from a turned ankle to block six shots, while senior Luka Drca added 19 points and the Utes held UTSA to 33% shooting and only three assists on their 16 field goals en route to a 22 point Utah win.
It's been a disappointing early season for the Utes, still fighting to get back to .500 after a recent three-game skid and some bad losses (Idaho, Seattle, Pepperdine) throughout the schedule. The Utes have been terribly inefficient offensively, have struggled shooting the ball (especially from deep) and have even struggled on the glass, which is completely unacceptable for one of the tallest teams in the country. And yet, the Utes have shown that they are talented enough to play with some good teams, having defeated Utah State and Michigan at home and Illinois on a neutral court.
Looking ahead: The Utes wrap up non-conference play with a trip to Baton Rouge on Saturday for a battle of underperforming teams. Conference play starts with a home game against TCU on the following Saturday, backed up by a trip to the Pit to face the Lobos on January 13th.
About the only thing to be sure of for the rest of the Ute season is inconsistency. Coach Jim Boylen is an excellent teacher, so the Utes are sure to get improvement out of its younger players, but the lack of consistent outside shooting up and down the roster seems destined to doom this Utah basketball squad to mediocrity. There is enough talent and size here to be sure that the Utes will probably knock off teams like BYU, New Mexico and UNLV at some point this season, but it shouldn't surprise anyone to see wins like that followed with losses to teams like Air Force, Colorado State and Wyoming. And yet, if this team gets hot at the right moment in March, they could certainly win three games in three days and find themselves dancing. But don't hold your breath.
