The Backroom

Apparently the American Medical Association has weighed in on the new healthcare reform package (even before anything has been announced)....

The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.

The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.

The Ophthalmologists considered the entire idea shortsighted.

Kuroshio Sea - 2nd largest aquarium tank in the world - (song is Please don't go by Barcelona) from Jon Rawlinson on Vimeo.

(Give this some time to load before watching...otherwise you won't have smooth playback)

The main tank called the "Kuroshio Sea" holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world's second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60 centimeters. Whale sharks and manta rays are kept amongst many other fish species in the main tank.
This was shot using a Canon 5DMKII with a 28-135mm lens.

So... I have been buying the Post for thirty years… I have been doing the crossword for the same amount of time… Now… I get the Express… the Examiner…and Politico… I can certainly appreciate the cost saving measures which have been implemented by the Post... but NOT when it comes to the size of the crossword. The solver needs the space so that the numbers are not covered by the INK all the time... this is not possible anymore. Making the comics smaller... changing the format of the business section... slashing pages is meaningless to me and probably other solvers...
I no longer buy the Post... and I miss it very much... but the Post bit me in the ass with the increase in the cost and the declination of its' value to me.
Well... that's off my chest... Thank you for reading this... if ya did???
