On the challenging side for me. <br /><br />Symmetrical placement of theme answers did help a lot, but they didn't come easy. C[ART]HIEF and B[ART}ENDER were the last to go. "Auto booster" for the former was a new one on me. The latter was especially clever, as Matt pointed out.<br /><br />Last entry was unrelated short fill in the NE, the ELLA/LALO cross, but an "educated" guess took care of it.<br /><br />BENDER-BARTENDER combo, PEAT flavored Scotch, and<br />M[ART]INI added an imbiber's mini-theme.<br /><br />I liked the puzzle a lot.

I could just smell it. Must have been the PATCHOULI. I, too, had a friend in the 70's who wore it all the time, in lieu of deodorant. We worked together, and I always knew when she was in the office. <br /><br />CPSNOW was my only total woe, but got it from the crosses. And the good clue.

At an easy-medium level, it had creativity and sparkle throughout. Plus it had THE HOBBIT. <br /><br />Interesting that it had YUBAN and PATCHOULI, which are/were of the same era. I hated the smell of the latter, and preferred Maxwell House to the former.

The "siemens" officially replaced the mho as the unit of conductance (a derived SI unit of measure) in 1971. However, mho is still in use. Its symbol is an upside down omega whereas the symbol for siemans is S. This is usually done to avoid confusion with the symbol for the SI base unit second: s. <br /><br />The siemans is both singular and plural, e.g. 1 siemans, not 1 sieman. Also, though it came from a proper name, it is not capitalized when used as a SI unit of measure. The same is true for faraday, ohm, hertz, ampere, kelvin, and weber. Also no "s" is added for plurals of these, e.g. 5 ohm, not 5 ohms.<br /><br />Is the proper use of units of measure important? Does anyone care? It can be expensive and/or deadly when "do the math" with regards to measurements is not done properly. Just a few examples:<br /><br />http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27509559<br /><br />CheersAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124431793780560248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-50661445369432049252016-07-27T16:02:30.933-04:002016-07-27T16:02:30.933-04:00Regarding the theme I solved Circus Tent first...a...Regarding the theme I solved Circus Tent first...ah three ring circus.
