Maybe in the arcane world of corporate IT people sit around in an office trying to figure out ways to get their employees' inboxes down to zero?ġ0A Get heavily (into) is more like dive in rather than WADEIN. The combination of words makes sense and I think I've heard it somewhere.but even in looking for email apps for my phone, which I do semi-regularly, many of those apps offer ways to manage email.sorting, prioritizing, filtering, etc.I don't recall "inbox zero" being a thing they strive for. I'm trying to imagine in what world "INBOXZERO" is a common term. Bruckner's symphonies are long and intricate but there's a reason no one performs them.they are an acquired taste that not everyone acquires.like this puzzle's theme. But just because the construction is a tour de force doesn't mean it's appealing. I guess I appreciate it at the construction must have taken a lot of planning to make it all work, so kudos for that. This struck me like someone telling a really long joke with no pay off for having sat through the entirely too long set up. I'll write more about them when it's all over. Lots of great things happened at the tournament today. I keep falling, though, as (apparently) people are successfully contesting some error they did (or didn't) make. I'm still in the 50s somewhere, which is OK. I was in 30-somethingth place but then made an error on Puzzle 5 in precisely the area I knew I should've rechecked but I got greedy for time and just turned it in quickly. I gotta get up to solve the last puzzle at 9am. To sum up: theme was ingenious, the rest felt a bit rough, and also a bit amped up, difficulty-wise. CIMINO *and* CAMINO in the same grid!? I don't know. A Lake Oahe (where the what the?) to clue ratty old S. The fill swung between great and less so. But there is no necessary connection between awe and fear. I also totally misread 40A: Show wear and figured it was clothes you wear if you are in a show, like gowns or boas.
for SEEP? I refuse to see those as equivalent. i found the cluing generally to be very tough and occasionally. Anyway, once I was done, I really appreciated the theme. Not sure why the OUT THE OTHER part didn't register more quickly. But then what? I got the Downs to work, but the Acrosses were nonsense. I was the only one with the stamina to finish, and the only one who really got the theme, and that took me a while. There were four of us sitting here in my hotel room trying to solve this, and it was clear we were all pretty bleary-eyed. I solved six tournament puzzles today, and ate and drank and talked a lot, and watched a very touching tribute to the late, great Merl Reagle, put together by "Wordplay" director Patrick Creadon.
The two possible endings for the example above are d-e-d, e or d-e-d, e-e. There is no limit to the number of lines, but poems or sections of poems written in terza rima end with either a single line or couplet repeating the rhyme of the middle line of the final tercet. Terza rima is a three-line stanza using chain rhyme in the pattern A-B-A, B-C-B, C-D-C, D-E-D. The literal translation of terza rima from Italian is 'third rhyme'. It was first used by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri. Terza rima ( Italian pronunciation: ) is a rhyming verse stanza form that consists of an interlocking three-line rhyme scheme. Word of the Day: TER ZA rima( 109A: _ rima (meter of Dante's "Divine Comedy")). 100A: Comment to the not-yet-convinced (YOU'LL COM E AROUND).86A: "Would you consider this suggestion?"

("CRY M E A RIVER").46A: Indignant replay when someone withholds information ("I HAV E A RIGHT TO KNOW!").31A: Common query from one about to leave the house ("WHER E ARE MY KEYS!?").Each set of two has one clued answer coming into a space containing the letter string "EAR" but then coming out of the "EAR" in the *other* answer. There are six theme answers, three sets of two. or a hint to interpreting the Across answers with circled letters).
THEME: " Jumping To Conclusions" - the theme is really IN ONE EAR AND / OUT THE OTHER (23A: With 113-Across, heard but disregarded.
