AT least I can see it, even if it does end up with black triangles from all the typos!"<br /><br />I agree. I don't like those little triangles. Even though I'm in the minority, I like the LA Times applet for doing the puzzle better than the Across Lite on Cruciverb. <br /><br />We had a good lunch today at a chain called LA Food Show, a relative of California Pizza Kitchen. Barbara, Bonnie (daughter) and I split an Asian dumpling soup and a great chicken Waldorf salad. <br /><br />I learned a different version of the teapot song in college. You'd begin it with both hands on hips and sing, "I'm a little teapot, short and stout. Here is my handle, here is my ...?

Once I figured out that was the case, I had a great time filling in the missing countries. <br /><br />I had a difficult time trying to figure out a synonym for bashes. I wanted someting along the line of hitting something, not shindig. Doh.<br /><br />All in all a very enjoyable puzzle today. <br /> <br />I especially liked the long clue I'm a Little Teapot. This brought back so many memories of singing with little ones in my pre-school, K and First Grade classes. At the beginning of the school year, we took breaks from sitting and did songs that required motion. I had a whole book of songs, that literally was worn out after my years of teaching.<br /><br />After several rainy weeks, we are enjoying the most beautiful weather here these last two days. They are skiing in the Sierra as there was a lot of snow in the high country.

That was a sensational clip, actually brought tears and gooseflesh! Those faces and the brasses! Wonderful! I hate it when the singer tries to jazz it up!<br /><br />I pretty much googled my way though this puzzle, though almost everybody else thought it a breeze!<br />Our local paper doesn't print the LAT puzzle on Sundays, either. Instead there's always a Merle Reagle, which seems much easier. I have been working it in the SF Chronicle and it's so small it gives me a headache trying to read the numbers.

Add in two excellent 15 letter vertical fills, and I can only say, Well done, Harvey.<br /><br />Like MJ, I appreciated new clues for old favorites: country name instead of takeout order for TOGO, Can. province not architect for PEI, shade of blue rather than river for NILE. Maybe one day we'll see Measure of business success for ROI instead of a French king ;-)<br /><br />66A rural room renter = INN. It seems to me, that both sides of this transaction are referred to as renters. Who's the rentee? There are lessors and lessees, no? Gotta love this English language.<br /><br />Favorite misdirection clues were Bad marks in HS? = ACNE, Bashes = SHINDIGS, and Weapons of the unarmed = FISTS.<br /><br />I'd like to make three points about yesterday's discussion of comments and criticisms.<br /><br />Infrequently, true errors by constructors/editors occur. One this week was a clue using Corvettes when the fill was T-Birds. As pointed out on the blog, technically, the clue should have had the abbreviation 'vettes.<br /><br />In today's puzzle, I can also quibble with 42D IBM products = PCS. IBM sold its PC business to Lenovo Corp five years ago; so it might be Dell, hp, Acer or Lenovo, but technically not IBM.<br /><br />Second, anyone can dislike a particular clue or fill. For example, I thought today's 89D Ecolutions pens = BICS was extremely obscure, but I've learned from this blog that one person's pain and frustration is someone else's pleasure and joy.<br /><br />Third, I think CANDOR should reign supreme on this blog. If someone likes or dislikes something, they are allowed to express themselves. If they explain WHY they feel that way, it becomes a more constructive comment. When these opinions are expressed in a hostile manner or as a personal attack, that's where I feel those comments should be limited. If constructors understand why we get frustrated at certain aspects of the puzzles, they can then improve.<br /><br />Barry, I agree with you. The day Shea Stadium became Citi Field was a sad one.<br /><br />Happy b-day, EddieB.<br /><br />And to all those who currently serve or have served in the military, and their families, and especially to those who have lost their lives defending our freedoms, our sincere thanks. <br /><br />Happy, Meaningful Holiday to all.koufaxmaravichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623946331880663691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-32289450865785250972010-05-30T16:06:07.718-05:002010-05-30T16:06:07.718-05:00Extra-enjoyable Sunday puzzle, with 8 theme-answer...Extra-enjoyable Sunday puzzle, with 8 theme-answers and 8 related countries.

Instead, I thought of Clifford the Big Red Dog, and the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCxiuuJVT-8" rel="nofollow">Big Red</a>gum commercial from the 80's danced around my head for much of the puzzle (the teapot or bikini ditties would have been infinitely preferable to a decades-old commercial). Skins came very quickly, but missed the - in flat-pancake and 'jam' sat there for quite some time, as did 'potty' for 1A. Bashes and humdinger were great clues.<br /><br />Loved the Ames link, Lemonade. Still laughing...<br /><br />Tinbeni (from last night) - no subtlety about the avatar. I'm neutral about the Cats/Griz, not having attended either school or lived in either town (I would, however, choose Griz if FORCED to pick sides).

The usual stem-winder, but doable with a little red letter help. (I do it on line because our paper doesn't carry the Sunday LAT cw.)<br />Puzzle had a good cadence alternating between theme fill and shorter perp assistance. PEI and ROI were gimmes. TOGO was 1st divided country fill, and gave a hint to the rest of the theme fill. <br />Thought ALTER was very clever.<br /><br />SAAB - Svenska Aeroplan AB (Swedish Airplane Ltd.)

I then read the comments (71 on a Saturday!) and I must add my thoughts, which are much like Rodney King’s…<br /><br />Jerome, you know I am one of your biggest fans, both for all the wonderful information you have shared on the puzzle process, and all the pleasure I have gotten from your wit in your puzzles and your comments. But why such a harsh comment, with a very thinly veiled threat, AFTER Argyle had apologized? We all have bad days, do you agree with every change Rich Norris makes in your puzzles? Do you remember, we had a tiff with Dan Naddor, Hashalom, over his cluing one day? The expression of an opinion, even one that is not thought out and not constructive, is just that - an opinion. Argyle’s opinion cannot be wrong, because it expressed the frustration he felt.<br /><br />I also believe he inserted his apology because he understood the idea of commenting is to be adding to the process, not just expressing “sour grapes.” I also agree with Fred who wrote, he believed it was the GOAL of Saturday puzzles to be more obscure, more deceptive. I do not hesitate to question what I think was unfair, but obscurity is not unfair, it is just harder to get to. <br /><br />Fred’s offering was one of the hardest we have had all year, and I believe the reaction by Argyle was so strong because we have been a little spoiled, but there were many things to learn from Fred’s cluing, and I enjoy learning. <br /><br />I also do not believe it makes C.C.’s blog seem more intellectual to be negative, I try and keep my comments to things I enjoyed, because that is more fun, but I will not stop expressing what I do not enjoy.Lemonade714https://www.blogger.com/profile/13642909374639570868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-17483617362155288222010-05-30T11:52:55.042-05:002010-05-30T11:52:55.042-05:00Had that I'M A LITTLE TEAPOT song rolling thro...Had that I'M A LITTLE TEAPOT song rolling through my brain for the whole grid.<br /><br />Then I clicked on the Hahtool embed.

I was tempted, but I thought this selection by John Donne (16D) was totally appropriate for Memorial Day weekend. <br /><br />John Donne was a poet and Anglican priest, who became the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral in London in 1621. Donne's early poetry was often satiric and erotic, but after he was ordained in 1615 his prose and poetry became more pious. The following is from "Devotions upon Emergent Occasions", a 1624 prose work that has become famous on it's own merit as poetry. It is a noble and thought provoking passage that relates beautifully to Memorial Day.<br /><br />No man is an island,<br />Entire of itself.<br />Each is a piece of the continent,<br />A part of the main.<br />If a clod be washed away by the sea,<br />Europe is the less.<br />As well as if a promontory were.<br />As well as if a manner of thine own<br />Or of thine friend's were.<br />Each man's death diminishes me,<br />For I am involved in mankind.<br />Therefore, send not to know<br />For whom the bell tolls,<br />It tolls for thee.Clear Ayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14463641770718104835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-57315816585173248372010-05-30T11:22:07.792-05:002010-05-30T11:22:07.792-05:00Good Morning All, For me today's puzzle was a...Good Morning All, For me today's puzzle was all about theme, theme and more theme. Not only were there were eight countries scattered throughout the puzzle, Harvey Estes managed to place them dividedly (is that a word?)in eight phrases. Even with a big Sunday grid, I thought that was very impressive.<br /><br />I knew 42D PCS, 49A SFP, 85A PEI, and figured out 97A OSU, so abbreviations weren't a problem today. There were lots of other little three and four letter fill, but they went much more easily than usual.<br /><br />For 64A I had the LA, and I thought LANKIER, as in a tall thin person, but it wouldn't fit. I've always heard the word LANK used to describe long stringy hair, so LANKER took a while. I had to check post-puzzle...and of course the constructor was correct.<br /><br />I liked seeing both 75A Amy LOWELL and 70D Conrad AIKEN. I like a lot of LOWELL's poems and most of the AIKEN poems I have read. They had a lot in common, both writing in an Imagist style and both were acquaintanced with the talented nutcase Ezra Pound. Pound didn't like LOWELL, but he was a friend of AIKEN.<br /><br />SNH..we are definitely on the same page here. Thanks for last night's version of the Star Spangled Banner. It was just as it should be. I don't like the way so many singers have personalized it to the point where it sounds like a vocal exercise, a rap song, or a plaintive blues number. I like Jose Feliciano, but he started the personalized anthem trend at the 1968 World Series. Didn't like it then and don't like it now. It's our national anthem for goodness sake!<br /><br />Happy birthday Eddy B.

The BIC reference to <a href="http://www.bicecolutions.com/en/index.php" rel="nofollow"> ECOLUTIONS </a> was very unknown. <br /><br />The most famous television moment for Ed <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD0DV2vPNEQ" rel="nofollow"> AMES </a> came on the old Tonight show with Johnny Carson.<br /><br />The only thing I know about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile_blue" rel="nofollow"> NILE BLUE </a> is that it is the chemical used to test the ph of pool water.<br /><br />Does n’t everboday remembere the TV commercial <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfyTO8xLjvQ" rel="nofollow"> Zoom Zoom </a>? <br /><br />Alan: THICKE recently guested on <i> HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER </i> so he is still around. <br /><br />West Wing adjunct: AIDE, Cold draft: BEER, Hides: SKINS. and bad marks in high school: ACNE were all wonderful misdirections and expect we will see them again, like we just had <a rel="nofollow"> TORE </a> meaning going fast, 10 days ago. <br /><br />A moment of silence and appreciation for all who have served, to the many in our group, I salute you and hope you are all well.<br /><br />Happy Birthday Eddy BLemonade714https://www.blogger.com/profile/13642909374639570868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-2227610999993122262010-05-30T08:25:50.849-05:002010-05-30T08:25:50.849-05:00Hello all.

I am saddened remembering those who have passed.<br /><br />Nice, easy puzzle for this old timer, unlike yesterday's. <br /><br />Bill G. --Re NCIS. I would guess that the lawyer lady, who snatched up the report, was going to deep-six it. Too bad that Paloma was getting ready to kill Gibbs's dad at the end. Whew!<br /><br />CC--Ecolutions is the company that makes Bic pens and things made of hemp.<br /><br />Happy bday Eddy B!<br /><br />SNH--Your interesting entries would be far easier for a retired teacher such as myself to read if you would use the shift key where appropriate.fermatprimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391014624435192426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-7821167544878415382010-05-30T07:44:46.913-05:002010-05-30T07:44:46.913-05:00Re: 46D "Studio 54" was a famous 70'...Re: 46D "Studio 54" was a famous 70's NYC nightclub.Argylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472446316589207365noreply@blogger.com
