    good stuff... i think i saw some inelegances that traditionalists might cry foul on (especially 25d, if it is as i understand it an indirect anagram), but im not one of those, and i really shouldnt say anything being totally unable to make anything in crosswords (let alone anything in my life)... anyways thanks for the puzzle

      Thank you for playing and I have made an update to 25d, that one missed my check-over at the end it seems. Thanks for pointing it out!

        Great puzzle -- anagram clues are my favorite kind and there were some stellar ones here! If I were clever I would hide one within this comment for you to find, but alas I am not so instead I will just say thank you.
