Arcing is a type of electrical discharge that occurs when electrons flow between two conductors, usually metal, in an environment with a gas or vacuum. The conductors can be wires, rods, or other objects that are capable of carrying an electrical current.’)This was short but very sweet. With Qaos there is of course always a theme, and searching for it adds to the fun. The only answer it helped me with was DARLINGS though, because with all the crossers in place it did jump out of the grid before I had looked at the clue. Darjeeling being my tea of choice, I’m sure I would have solved it soon enough without theme-related help. You are able to comment on most crosswords for the first seven days after publication.

There are 22 places called Salem in the US, the most famous being the one with the witch trials. It’s also the capital of Oregon and a small town in my own state (Connecticut) I didn’t even know how to find on a map. There are a number of neat anagrams and some witty definitions and deft misdirection, with great surfaces all round. Edit – thanks to KVa and Alan C: a reversal (up, in a down clue) of LEG (pin) + C in A lot of NAKE[d] (raw)

muffin @53 – I would see ‘apply’ (with qm) as one of Paul’s whimsical adjectival constructs, like ‘jetty’ = ‘a bit like a jet’. Fwiw Wiktionary has apply as an alternative spelling of appley. And come to think of it, if stubble can be stubbly, and a bobble can be bobbly, why can’t an apple be apply? This is designed for blind or partially-sighted users. It is a stripped down text version, which should be easily read by a screen reader. Which crosswords have competitions? I can’t believe I filled in this whole puzzle when I only got 4 and 6 down at the start. The first of those gave me THE in 13a and which with the word count gave me A _ _ _ _ _ (in?) THE _ _ _. which the wordplay helped with, and I inched on from there. LEI[sure] (holiday) minus ‘sure’ (certain): a garland given as a gift to visitors to Hawaii – see here My favourites, from a fine set of clues, were 1ac DANISH, 9ac SEVERE, 14 BREATHLESS, 18ac ENCOURAGED, 22ac UPSTREAm, 2dn NOVEMBER, 3dn STRENGTH, 5dn DEPRESSION and 17dn EDUCATOR.

eccentricity: in a conic section, the constant ratio of the distance of a point on the curve from the focus to its distance from the directrix (usually represented by e; (geom)’ I still think that GREAT BRITAIN is an island but not a country, since the country in question includes Northern Ireland. If Scotland secedes it will be even less so. True, Janis was a different kettle of fish, although her biggest (posthumous) hit was penned by Kris Kristofferson – there’s a nice version by him and Rita Coolidge. There was some great clueing in this and, after yesterday’s DYNASTY, we have HAN used as a partial, today. I thought 1d ( ANGEL CAKE ) was an extremely clever clue. However, I have three downers !

It took me a long time to think of looking up the unlikely-looking ARCING, which I couldn’t explain: Atlanta Dave @59 – I thought the same (and given your parenthetical remarks you might want to skip the rest of this post 😉 ) I thought of trying DOER where SHER is, since a doe is a female of various species, and a doer is an actor. But then “old” in the clue wouldn’t have been doing anything–doer is a rare word, but not a particularly archaic one. GROSS OUT: that is why I underlined just ‘disgust (verb) as definition, leaving ‘show’ as a link word.ShropshireLass @55: who imagined that the proximity of the L to the colon on the keyboard could produce such striking results? 🙂 ] We know people are experiencing issues with printing so we have outlined some details here that should help.
