Maybe it"s because I grew up skiing in New England, but I don"t consider T-BAR to be crosswordese. Granted you see fewer of them these days, as the preference is for high-speed chairlifts or gondolas, but it"s still not that obscure, IMO.

ODETTA I knew instantly -- did lighting for a concert in NYC some years back -- one of many "crossword" friends I"m always glad to see -- others (oh, hell, namedropping) are EDIE (as in Falco), REEVE (as in Superman), UTA (as in Hagen) -- others, but it"s always nice to see ODETTA, she is such a beautiful person!

I had Squeaks by instead of SCRAPES BY for a good long time, and not being one of those in the know about TBILISI, I put ... KHSTAN at the end of 55A and hoped for the best. The best never happened, needless to say. I wanted Leotards for the stretchy clue.

I agree that just because you can clue with TB at the head of the answer, that"s no reason to structure the whole puzzle around it. And why is TBS always the cable channel that gets trotted out? It"s such a marginal channel to start off with.

PS when I say "crosswordese," I don"t mean so much "obscure" as "ultra-common x-word fill, which is also not an everyday word." TBARS is not ELI or EPEE or ESSO or ERE I or SLOE, but it"s close.

I"m sorry to say, but the "Comments" section of your blog has just become too painful for me to read in the future. I long for the old days when it was just the clued-in people that knew about your blog and posted in the Comments area. Now you have the same insipid nit-pickers and total idiots posting their dribble as on the NYT Forum. ("Why are some boxes colored in?" - Why the hell do you think they are idiot? Have you ever done ANYTHING technological before and seen the idea of a cursor highlight? Jesus.) Sigh. Crossword Utopia is spoiled and soiled once again.

And I shoulda gotten the geography clue sooner, but I thought Caucasus capital was some kind of money for rich southern white people. (T-bill in Georgia?)

The clue was "Bill Clinton, collegiately." Clinton went to college at Georgetown. He went to law school at Yale. Some find that distinction nitworthy.

Having the theme in hand by the time I saw the clue I immediately knew it was Tbilisi, Georgia, but I just couldn"t remember how to spell it beyond the Tb part. But I also was unhappy with its inclusion with the theme since all of the others are instances of the T being pronounced as a compound word. The pronunciation of Tbilisi does not match all of the others.

Just love your blog and always read it after doing the puzzle, but don"t post. Until today, when as a *painful*, *unclued-in*, *insipid nit-picker*, *total idiot* *dribbler* I had to leave something to annoy Mr Anonymous 2:29pm.

64A: The clue "Brand name that sounds like two letters of the alphabet" (ESSO) is a bit off as ESSO actually does stand for the initial letters of Standard Oil; i.e., S and O. It may be a quibble but the "sounds like" is no coincidence. Though EXXON has long-since replaced ESSO as a brand name stateside, ESSO gas stations still abound up here in the frozen north.

A movement which insisted on historically-accurate scenery and props on stage. The more stylized sliding wing flats were replaced by more detailed box sets including architectural features, props and furniture appropriate to the time period in whcih the show was taking place. Antiquarianism moved into theatres in the late eighteenth century in Europe.

Usually shortened to ASM, the assistant stage manager is the most junior member of the Stage Management team, and is often in charge of sourcing and running Properties during the run of a show. She or he is also a member of the stage "crew".

Process where the director or casting director of a production asks actors / performers to show them what they can do. Sometimes very nerve-wracking, but auditions can be a fairly painless process if handled properly. Performers are often asked to memorise a monologue from a play they like to perform for the director. Books full of suggested monologues are available. You may be asked to do a "Cold Reading" which tests your own response to a piece of text you"ve not prepared. Some audition processes have pages of text available outside the audition room for actors to familarise themselves with before the audition.

Many lighting bars are internally wired (and are known as IWBs or Internally-Wired Bars), featuring cabling inside the bar and sockets mounted at regular intervals along the bar, and a connection box at one end to enable the bar to be plugged into dimmers. Lighting bars nowadays need "hot power" sockets and DMX outlets, as well as the more usual dimmer output sockets into which traditional theatre lighting equipment is connected.

A horizontal rope, wire or chain attached at either end of a piece of scenery or lighting bar pulling it upstage or downstage of its naturally hanging position to allow another flying item to pass, or to improve its position. See also BREAST LINE.

As many of the technical operators are tied to expensive pieces of equipment, headsets are often wired. However, stage management (and any other crew who move around) often wear wireless versions, often known as radio cans. There are interfaces between wired and wireless versions enabling both to be part of the same system.

Piece of timber or metal for tying off a rope line by taking a turn around it, followed by a series of figure eight turns and a locking tuck(s) made in the final turn. Used when flying or for holding scenic pieces together with a cleat line.

A wooden block with a tightenable bolt through it, threaded-through by a rope, used to clamp to the offstage edges of a cyclorama cloth with the rope tied to an offstage fixing, ideally above head-height. Enables wrinkles in the cloth to be removed, and also helps to minimise cloth movements caused by air currents (doors opening, actors walking past etc).

1) A pre-plotted height for a piece of scenery or lighting bar - "that bar"s on its dead". The positional indicators on the rope (either PVC tape, or more traditionally cotton tape passed through the strands of the rope) are called DEADS. Sometimes flying pieces are given a number of extra deads, that may be colour coded, in addition to the "in dead" (lower) and "out dead" (higher - out of view). In the US, TRIM has the same meaning. Fluorescent ribbon is often used, through the fibres of the rope. The fluorescent colour shows very clearly under UV light, which is often used to light fly floors.

4) A route from the auditorium to the outside, for use during an emergency by the audience. Marked by an illuminated EXIT SIGN, which is coloured for visibility (green in the UK / Europe, red in the USA). Exit signs must remain visible to the audience at all times, and local venue licencing laws will cover whether it must be illuminated at all times, and the size of the sign etc.

Usually illuminated sign, of standard size, which should always be visible, showing an audience member and the company the nearest exit.New legislation in Europe means that the word "EXIT" has been removed from these signs to be replaced by "Running Man", known more politically correctly as "Person moving purposefully".

A special stage floor laid for a production. For example to allow trucks guided by tracks cut into this false floor, to be moved by steel wires running in the shallow (2 or 3 inch) void between the false floor and the original stage floor. A false stage is also required for putting a revolve onto a stage.

Originally, this was the structure where the flying lines / ropes were tied off to hold scenery and other flown equipment in position. With the advent of counterweighted systems, this refers to the area where the flying system is operated. Also known as PIN RAIL or, in the UK, FLY FLOOR.

Harnesses can be obtained which are designed for this effect, and standard safety harnesses are not suitable. The rope must have a safety-rated rope built into it, which is suitable for suspending the shock load of the actors" weight, which must be attached to the harness in such a way that it"s not possible for the fake noose to ever tighten around the actors" neck. The hanging must take place with other members of the company present, who have been trained in how the system works under professional supervision.

Simply using a rope with a weak point (e.g. using weak cotton to connect the noose to the rest of the suspending rope) is no longer recommended as there are situations where it may not break, and any chance of this will not be acceptable to a risk assessment process.

A far safer way to hang an actor is to do it offstage - use a blackout or blinding light along with a sound effect to misdirect the audience into thinking they"ve just seen a hanging, use a shadown projection (using small scale dummies) or even just use a rope in the shape of a noose with the actor approaching it at floor level followed by a fade to blackout.

(Properties) Furnishings, set dressings, and all items large and small which cannot be classified as scenery, electrics or wardrobe. Props handled by actors are known as hand props, props which are kept in an actors costume are known as PERSONAL PROPS.

A range of adjustable steel wire fittings which can be used to suspend a static load and adjust the height easily. Available from Doughty Engineering.

It is used in a number of applications for it"s friction-increasing properties. Ballet, flamenco, and Irish Dancers are known to rub the tips and heels of their shoes in powdered rosin to reduce slippage on clean wooden dance floors or competition/permanence stages. - it was at one time used in the same way in fencing and is still used as such by boxers.

The mechanism to achieve the vertical lift is the use of linked, folding supports in a criss-cross X pattern, known as a pantograph (or scissor mechanism). The upward motion is achieved by the application of pressure to the outside of the lowest set of supports, elongating the crossing pattern, and propelling the work platform vertically. The platform may also have an extending bridge section to allow closer access to the work area, because of the inherent limits of vertical-only movement.

There are special heat-sensitive detectors called RATE OF RISE detectors which trigger a fire alarm when the temperature rises faster than it should normally. Properly calibrated (and regularly tested) these can be as effective than the smoke detectors (which work by "seeing" smoke particles in the air). If it"s not possible to get Rate of Rise detectors installed in your theatre space instead of smoke detectors, you may be able (subject to local building regulations and local fire department advice) to isolate the smoke detectors for the duration of the performance when you use smoke effects. Properly designed alarm systems incorporate timed isolation, so that smoke detectors are only off for a specific period, and automatically come on after that period.

Member of the Stage staff who is responsible for moving props and/or scenery during the show, and for ensuring that items under their responsibility are working correctly and properly maintained. Stage Crew (also known as Stagehands) are often employed on a casual basis for a specific production, and may not be part of the theatre"s full-time staff. They also may be touring with a particular production.

NB: The Netherlands, Portugal and Germany use the opposite to the rest of Europe; i.e. Stage Left UK = Stage Right. The directions are seen from the director"s and audience"s perspective, NOT the actors. In Portugal Isquerda (left) is the equivalent of UK Stage Right and Direita (right) is the equivalent of UK Stage Left.

1) Backstage whistles were originally used to give instructions to the sailors who (because they knew the best knots) had the job of operating the theatre"s flying system. Nowadays, whistling is forbidden backstage because it might result in a lost sailor cutting a rope and dropping something on somebody.

2) The practice of reversing "hemp" lines in a theatre to spread wear over as great a length of rope as possible. Over a period of time this practice can considerably increase rope lifetime, especially if lines are rotated between sets as well as positions in the grid (The short of set 1 becomes the long of set 40, for example)

Backstage whistles were originally used to give instructions to the sailors who (because they knew the best knots) had the job of operating the theatre"s flying system. Nowadays, whistling is forbidden backstage because it might result in a lost sailor cutting a rope and dropping something on somebody. See Superstition.

One major barrier to inserting these incredibly tiny wires, which are thinner than a strand of human hair, is actually getting them past the skull and into the brain.

A type of navigational buoy, often a vertical drum, but otherwise always square in silhouette, colored red in IALA region A (Europe, Africa, Greenland, and most of Asia and Oceania) or green in IALA region B (the Americas, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines). In channel marking its use is opposite that of a

2.  A tower-like structure on the dorsal (topside) surface of a submarine, serving in submarines built before the mid-20th century as a connecting structure between the bridge and pressure hull and housing instruments and controls from which the periscopes were used to direct the submarine and launch torpedo attacks. Since the mid-20th century, it has been replaced by the fin (European and British Commonwealth usage), a structure similar in appearance that no longer plays a role in directing the submarine.

A join between two lines, similar to an eye-splice, where each rope end is joined to the other a short distance along, making an opening that closes under tension.

The "valley" between the strands of a rope or cable. Before serving a section of laid rope, e.g. to protect it from chafing, it may be "wormed" by laying yarns in the cuntlines, giving that section an even cylindrical shape.

1.  A sailing vessel defined by its rig. In European waters this is a single-masted fore and aft rig with two or more headsails In North American waters, the definition also considers whether or not the bowsprit is permanently fixed and also takes into account the position of the mast. A standing (permanently fixed) bowsprit and a forward mast position, but with two or more headsails would be classed as a sloop in the North American definition. A running bowsprit, a forestay (carrying a staysail) that is fixed to the stemhead, a jib that is set flying and a mast position that is more aft is a cutter.
