The emperor continues to have few if any clothes. The concept and execution are both sub-3rd-rate-in-flight-magazine fare. Jaw-dropping that this puzzle was accepted. Here is a site called " Om Cooking: Food to Enlighten Your Palate." Because the pun is on HOME!!!!!!!! OM rhymes with HOME. No one-literally, no one-pronounces OMS like it rhymes with MOMS. Seriously, what is happening? But the biggest, most ridiculous failure of this theme is 24A: A CALL TO OMS. And what is up with the title: "New England Chatter." Is that supposed to be a play on "New England Chowder"? Has to be, right? But. First problem, that is not, in and of itself, characteristically "New England." It's not, as my friend just wrote me, "pahk the cah in hahvad yahd." Just say SPOCK PLUGS. The actual case scenario is a disaster, a mishmash of sound changes that resemble precisely nobody's accent. Again, that's the *best* case scenario for this theme. Even if this puzzle had Nailed It, conceptually, managing to turn ordinary phrases into phrases that sound like a Bostonian was saying them, it would've been corny and old hat. The fact that this saw the light of day indicates that Sunday submissions must be at dire, emergency levels. This is the most ill-conceived, DOA Sunday theme I can remember seeing. A few say she invented the aulos or double-flute, though most mythographers credit Marsyas with its invention. In late Classical times she was named muse of lyric poetry and depicted holding a flute. Called the "Giver of delight", when later poets assigned roles to each of the Muses, she was the muse of music. In Greek mythology, Euterpe ( / juː ˈ t ɜːr p iː/ Greek: Eὐτέρπη, Greek pronunciation:, Ancient Greek: "rejoicing well" or "delight" from Ancient Greek εὖ 'well' + τέρπειν terpein 'to please') was one of the Muses, the daughters of Mnemosyne, fathered by Zeus. Word of the Day: EUTERPE ( 38D: Sister of Erato). IT'S MY POTTY? (119A: Toddler's cry upon entering the bathroom?) ( ICK).LOW COB DIET (116A: Regimen with limited intake of corn?).A SHOT IN THE DOC (100A: What allowed one physician to get through flu season?).INSTANT COMMA (87A: Quickly added bit of punctuation?).PASSING MOCK (69A: Ridicule shouted out of a moving car?).THE BOD OF AVON (51A: Most in-shape person at a cosmetics company?).
HOT SPECIALIST (36A: Weather forecaster in Phoenix?).A CALL TO OMS (24A: Yoga teacher's invitation?) (oy, see below).SPOCK PLUGS (22A: Commercials for a "Star Trek" movie?) (why "movie"?).I think there's some attempt to make wacky phrases based on the idea of a "New England" accent, but mainly there appear to be simply a dropping of Rs (?).
And I think now, conditions in the east have essentially stabilized and the focus is really shifting to the south.THEME: "New England Chatter" - I have no *&$%ing idea what is happening. “But that has come at extraordinary cost to the Russian military because of how well the Ukrainian military has performed and all the assistance that the Ukrainian military has gotten.
He said the Russian troops have managed to gain “incremental” ground in eastern Ukraine, although not in recent weeks. Kahl estimated that Russian forces have sustained up to 80,000 deaths and injuries in the fighting, though he did not break down the figure with an estimate of forces killed. Russian forces have made gradual headway in the region while launching missile and rocket attacks to curtail the movements of Ukrainian fighters elsewhere. In addition to the rockets for the HIMARS, it includes 75,000 rounds of 155mm artillery, 20 mortar systems and 20,000 rounds for them, 1,000 shoulder-mounted Javelin rockets, and other arms, explosives and medical equipment.įor the last four months of the war, Russia has concentrated on capturing the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, where pro-Moscow separatists have controlled some territory as self-proclaimed republics for eight years.
