" A site that offers unmetered internet access as well as access via BT Surftime. "
This was a great deal at £25, but it got more and more expensive, and from last weekend (20 April 2001) it seems to have gone the way of F1 Racing,callnet 0800 etc! They made a great play in their advertising about the fact that they were closely linked with Leicester Chamber of Commerce,but that was not enough to save them from their ultimate fate! A great pity they have gone - but roll on the next brave souls to offer such good value.
I got my connection on the 30th March, Couldn'y connect using the software due to a 'typo' by Connect25 in my password field, so I phoned their tech support helpline.......which took me 6 DAYS to get through to them, even telephoning them from work every minute I could. Eventually got sorted, Fairly quick connection speed, Bloody Huge Banner on the screen.....still I only paid £49 for a year's connection, I can put up with that.......but, as of 16th April I can't connect using their freefone software provided, the line sounds like it's dead, and the local rate number provided will not verify my password! I have tried to get through to the support line since then but their constantly engaged! I've e-mailed them a number of times but no response. I'M PISSED OFF! if I was paying £12.95 a month I would be F$%#'ing Psychotic! In addition to this I requested an E-mail address so I can send E-mails(No Sh*t!) via Outlook, which they set up and then told me I would have to connect to the local rate number to send them! so I have to pay to send my bloody E-mails as well! CONNECT25 GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER! p.s. I was with REDHOTANT for a Year and although they had problems, They beat Connect25 hands down! (come back RHA!) Regards, One Pissed Off Customer!
This site started out great, I saw an advert for £25 for a whole years unlimited internet access in PC Format Magazine in late 2000 and was very suspicous this was a scam. However, I thought if this is legitimate I want to be one of the first on the waiting list for such a cheap deal, and took the gamble. It paid off, and I have a whole years unlimited access for £25. However, soon after, this price had risen to £49 for a years access, still a reasonable deal I thought, and the price increase didn;t surprise me greatly. However, I again looked at the price on their website in February and noticed the price had risen to £25 subscription fee and then a fee of £8.95 per month for unlimited access, a massive increase. In late March, this price increased again to what it is currently (14 April) which is £25 initial payment followed by £12.95 per month for unlimited access. This is now more expensive than superior services such as freeserve unlimited time which offers £10 per month access, and is close to AOL's current price of £15 per month. Now the actual service itself. Connect25 don't have their own browser so you have to use Internet Explorer or the eeeevil Netscape. At first one had to add connect25 to their dial up networking manager on their computer, which sounds complicated but was actually quite easy. A few weeks ago we recieved a letter saying we had until March 30th to download their 'upgraded' software which we "MUST DOWNLOAD". We recieved this letter on the 28th, so you can deduct from that the customer service they deliver. This software was an advantage over previously for those who know little about computers since you simply download the software and then connect through the logo with the filling of a password and the click of a button. However it turns out this software was no improvement at all, this service which now costs many times more than it did in December, is far inferior. An advert box appears at t
he top of your screen, about just under 2 inches high and 8 inches wide. If you delete this box you are disconnected from the internet, and the box is very strict about where you put it, you can't drag it so that any part of it is not visible. There is only one slightly practical place to put this box, and that is at the top right of your browser, hiding the home, search, favorites, history, mail, print, and edit buttons at the top of your internet explorer browser (with refresh, stop, forward, and back buttons still visible), to access these you must move the box out of the way, though it is very fussy about where it goes, put it in an 'illegal' place and it flashes to an acceptable area. When you consider that this service is now almost as expensive as AOL, who, although a service I despise from experience, do connect almost every single time straight away without fuss. AOL also have their own browser unlike the £2 cheaper per month Connect25, and are a far bigger easier to contact company, who also don't have a one hour cut-off time like Connect25, but a two hour one, and who don't have this irritating advert banner. Services such as freeserve unlimited time offer £10 per month, they don't have their own browser, but they do have a 2 hour cut-off time and no obtrusive advert bar. The only problem is, there is a large waiting list for such deals. The one hour cut-off time with Connect25 can be very frustrating. It makes downloading large MP3 files sometimes impossible, and online gaming is brief. If inactive for 10 minutes (ie you load absolutely no sites and are not downloading anything, therefore using no bandwidth) then you are automatically disconnected. The connection speeds are average at best. Also, sometimes it can take up to half a dozen attempts to connect to the internet with COnnect25. For my £25 I can hardly complain about value for money with the deal I got, however unless the service improves by an
incredible amount and the prices actually begin to move down rather than up, I won't be renewing my service come the end of my year's connections. If, after reading all this, you are still not detterred, the website to visit is www.connect25.co.uk but I would seriously advise you avoid this service provider.
These guys took about 30 seconds to take my money, were then non contactable for two days, voice mail only, took a further three days to issue a user name, it took 31 minutes to download their dialup software which installed clean and does NOT dial. Two weeks in I have no service, no response to my communications, and NO REFUND. The published price is attractive but the reality is a rip off. Do not sign up, this is a bad deal and I can not think of any more words without descending in to foul and abusive language
They used to be known as Connect25 because that was how much they used to charge for their 24/7 unmetered access. Now its £49. Is it still worth it? Well considering that payment covers you for a full year's Internet access, most certainly. Although it does have its problems. At peak times I often find it difficult to get through due to it being constantly engaged. But once you get on, the speeds are reasonable and useable. What do you expect for £49 per year? For a high quality connection you need to splash out a bit but the same can be said for everything else in life. You wouldn't expect to cruse down the M6 at around 100mph in a Reliant Robin would you :)
August: Notice advertisement for Connect25, a new ISP, in PcGamer magazine. Offers 24/7 freefone access to the Internet for an annual fee of £25. September: Application is sent off, advert also seen in many other magazines. September/October: Receive notification of application. Terms and Conditions sent to us to be signed and returned. Cheque already cashed in. Additional letter details Username and Password, along with date at which you will be connected. November 22nd. Connection day (oh no it wasn?t, well it was coming panto season anyway) Call the help line. Informed that our Terms and Conditions had not been received, on sending another set we would be connected. A week later we were not connected. Another call informed us that a third set of T&C would be sent, which we should return ASAP, but connection would be made by midday the next day. It took another 24 hours. December: I finally get to experience the delights of the service they claim that they were going to provide. Connection was easy, speed was O.K. At times the service was sluggish, and annoyingly it always seemed to connect you, despite the obvious point it could not handle you, despite claiming to rave a modem to user ratio of 1:3. Connection was getting better throughout December until? Mid December the post box went and a letter plonked onto the mat. It was a letter from the good people of Connect25.co.uk They were politely yet regrettably informing us of the server shutdown during peak hours between December 21st and January 6th (School & Work holidays - how convenient). The popularity of the service meant that they had to upgrade their servers. Ironic really that since the upgrade things are probably worse, connection is easier at peak times than off peak, not just a little bit easier, but there is a large noticeable difference in performance. As the service also carries a 1-hour disconnection rule having a bum connection for 10 mi
nutes of your hour is a bit annoying. As an extra point it MUST be added that connect25 should change their name, to connect49. Yes if you notice the name/price relationship you will have guessed the price has gone up to £49 a year. Connect25 do provide free e-mail addresses but you have to phone up to arrange for this, at 30p a minute for the number 'free' is like saying "would you like a 'free' kick in the teeth"? But they have just introduced a policy whereby you refer friends and receive £5 for this, but to stop the cynics who haven't joined thinking people are only telling them for their own gain, those who join as being refereed by someone will receive a 5% discount, not great, but better than a 0% discount). And these freinds also get the promise of immeadiate connection so it looks good for them. It does seem from my opinion that the service is, for want of a more apt word, CRAP. Yet, the way freeserve has been playing up on me recently I would try to connect to them for 100 attempts before I did freeserve once. A ISP which offers unmetered Internet access is usually a bit too good to be true, and obviously they can not afford servers such as AOL as the monthly fee must be handy, yet for £25 it was a gift, and for £49 you would be stupid to turn it down. There are two final points I must make, payment, unless they have changed the situation, can NOT be made via credit card. Further developments have now been made since I originally submitted this opinion and then updated it. These developments include another price increase to a fee of £8.95 each month, and a further increase to £12.95 a month. Also, a new peice dialing software was introduced which allowed you to connect to the Internet 'at the touch of a button'. Unfortunately this has actually slowed down my connection process. It now means that after I have opened up the dialer window that my usernam
e and password MUST be typed in each and every time. And in addition to that if you fail to make the click to 'freefone' access then you will be on their newly introduced local call rate access number. And this is something that must be done as the Phone Number has been encrypted into the software. The other negative point on this is the inability to automatically redial. You must manually click 'connect' every time dialling fails. At £12.95 I am convinced there are better services available to use. Wednesday 18th was the last time I connected to their server. The day after I read their advert in Micromart advertising Unmetered access at less than £1 a week, despite introducing the pricing plan detailed above. For all of Friday their telephone numbers were engaged, both the freefone number and 30p a minute technical support line. Out of curiosity I checked the settings of the dial up account which it creates temporarilly while dialling and connected. I used this to set up a permanent dial up networking account. I found to my surprise that after dialling the line went dead. Could this be the end of Connect25? Well yes it is. On Saturday April 21st I check around some ISP guide sites to look for a new supplier should they have folded, arriving at one site I am met with the headline "Conect25 in liquidation".

Emmett and Palo Alto Counties Added to the District, A complete report of the first sessions of the convention was given in the last issue of the Sentinel. In the Friday's session the report of the different societies showed a membership [^reaching nearly 1,000, and that the outlook for increase was very hopeful as all societies were in a flourisliing condition. Emmett and Palo Alto counties were, by resolution added to the Sioux district in addition to the counties embraced in tills congressional district. This was followed by an excellent address by the president. Rev. D. W. Fahs. Tlie address of Mrs. E, H. Slocum was timely and forcible. It touched upon the pledge of the order particularly. The reports of the various committees wore then read , in order as previously announced and met with general enthusiastic approbation. In the afternoon, Mr. Gilbert read a paper from the missionary committee, in the absence of Mr. Truesdell. Tlie Junior Department received special attention from Miss Helen Gilbert in a paper on the subject. She reported particularly of the excellent results of the junior society of the First Congregational church, of Sioux City. It now has forty members. Its success in developing the moral and . religious strength of the children will lead to the establishment of more junior societies. Master Fred Jones, the president of the society, a bright lad of fourleen, made a splendid verbal report to the convention. Tlie address by Rev. Mr. Suckow on "Our Associate Members" was a well written paper, varying somewhat from the commonly accepted opinions touching the relations of associate members. 'Personal lesponsibility in the work" by Rev. AV. L. Ferris, of Cherokee, was an excellent paper. Rev. G. S. Ilanscom not being present in the evening, tlie time was given to the address of Rev, H. D. .lenkins on "Aims and Aids to Christian Endeavor" He touched upon the living issues of the society, upon the wori'f it had accomplished and upon what it might do. It was an inspiration to all who heard it and one of the most profitable features of the convention. With a consecration meeting the convention closed. Mrs. Slocum, state secretary, stood down in front of the pulpit and the members of the various societies stood beside her in line on either side. Tlie line reached clear around the church. Then in regular order every member, with the possible exception of a half dozen, gave some testimony or offered a short prayer. This lasted about fifteen minutes. In closing they joined hands and sang "God be with you till we met again." Our young folks acquitted themselves admirably in their hospital endeavors. Every one was well cared for. Special credit is due to the committee that looked after the care and comfort of the visitors. The church was crowded on tlio last night so that the lecture room was thrown open and filled. Notice. On Saturday, December 6, 1890, at 3 o'clock p. m., at the front door of the Court house, LeMars, Iowa, the county, commissioners will offer for sale to the highest and best bidder for cash, the old county jail. The right reserved to reject any and all bids. By order of the board. .1. H. HuanES, 9513 Chairman. For Sale. Choice residence property. Lots fiv and sis, block forty, LeMors. For price and terms inquire of J. H. Strublb. 66tf all wants in his lino. Lowest prices and a groat variety of holiday goods at B. R. Smith's first grand annual opening. 90tf It is reported to us that the contract has been signed for the erection of a beet sugar factory at South Sioux City. Plum pudding, condensed mince meat, afternoon teas, Vienna wafers, and all table delicacies at Blakeway & Go's. Ot4 See those bargains at tlie LeMars drug store Freeman & Hines have an immense stock of the most uiiique novelties. The city water works employes each celebrated Thanksgiving with a turkey presented by the "'proprietor, J. H. Winchel. Crosse & Blackwell's Preserves, Gordon & Dilworth's Preserves, Monarch Preserves, Bulk Olives, Sauces of every kind at Blakeway & Go's. 90t4 Horsemen and farmers will be interested in the fine lot of horses soon to be held on sale at Corkery's stables by Parker & Burt. The Knights and Ladies of Honor will meet in the parlors of the Union hotel on Wednesday evening at 7:30. All interested in starting a iodge of the above are invited to be present. Mr. Frank Warren was very neatly surprised on TUanksgiviug Day wit pleasant birthday party planned by his wife and carried out with tlie assistance of thirty or forty good friends. Farmers will save money by looking out for the traveling fanning mill men, A farmer near Boyden recently gave an order for one mill as he supposed and found out later that he had ordered a carload. The mammoth store of Sartori & Pfeiffor is filled up as usual with everything you want in the line of fancy goods, books, stationery, and Christmas presents. Read about it in their advertisement. . Croquet and lawn tennis were the pojmlar games in LeMars on Thanksgiving Day. The weather was delightful for it. A lemonade Sunday school pic nic would have been very comfortable and agreeable. Our pioneer merchant tailor, D. W. Held, whose business is now extended over the whole Northwest, has a complete stock of suitings, overcoats and pants, foreign and domestic. His reputation as a first class cutter is undisputed, tf In these days of weddings, balls, social gatherings, invitations, preparations for the holiday trade, etc., it would bo well to examine the long line of samples kept in the Sentinel job rooms. Make your orders in time, so that the goods which have to be procured from the city markets may be had in time. Our LeMars real estate men report heavy sales of farms in Plymouth county. The Dakota farmers are beginning to learn that Iowa farms are cheaper at twenty-five dollars an acre than the drowth stricken land is for nothing. Many are coming back to Iowa to buy farms. Bulletin No. 11 from the Iowa agricultural experiment station at Ames, Iowa, contains interesting and valuable articles on experiments in making and storing hay, also on cultivated and wild varieties of grass in Iowa with much other matter which every farmer could profit by rending. These bulletins are issued at state expense and will bo sent free to every firmer who will send his name and request in on a postal card to R. P. Speer, Ames, Iowa. The Congregational Bazaar will ojien Tuesday of next week when a 6 o'clock dinner will be served. The Bazaar will be open the following day Wednesday, December 10th, and in the evening an oyster supper will be served by a number of the young ladies in Oriental costume, concluding wiih a Japanese wedding. The Bazaar will be hold in the vacant store in the opera house block, and the ladies will have many nice and useful articles of their handiwork for sale suitable for Christmas presents, and they cordially invite their many fri'mds in the city and country to share in their good cheer and to aid them in making their annual payment on their church organ.

Duncombe represents the road and Hudson and County Attorney Parrell the State of Iowa. The judge will render his decisioti on the motion later. The principal interest of this term of court is fixed upon the numerous cases growing out ot the Dunn defalcation of last spring. There are seven cases on the docket involving property worth well up toward fifty thousand dollars. The cause of this litigation is tins: J. M. Dunn did a loan business in LeMars. In making a loan upon a farm, he caused the notes and mortgage to be made out to Peter Egan, Jr., or order. Then the farm was convoyed by trust deed to J. M. "Dunn for security. The notes and mortgage were than sent to Boston and sold on the market. The money was sent back here and given to the farmer and tlie trust deed cancelled. So far so good, this was perfectly traight and legitimate. But in many instances men wanted to pay off their mortgages at the end of three years. Dunn received the money and released the mortgages by the usual endorsement on the margin of the record in the county recorder's office. Instead of sending the money east and getting back the farmer's notes and mortgage, he keptthe money and used it himself, paying the interest regularly to the eastern parties.. His speculations did not turn out as well as he expected. He lost money by the drouths in Dakota; the water works cost more than he expected, etc. When the loans came dun he could not pay them, so he is now counted among the missing. Many of these farms have been sold since Dunn released the mortgages and new loans have been placed upon them. In some cases the property has changed hands several times. This causes numerous complications. The men who paid the money and did not get tlieir notes back obj(Ct to paying it again. The parties who hold the notes claim that as the notes were negotiable paper and had been transferred, that Dunn was not authorized to receipt for the money on them or to satisfy the mortgages. The other side claims that Dunn was acting as agent for Jeilncs &Son, of Boston, the brokers who sold the securities; that as such agent, he placed the loans and while still acting in that capacity satisfied the mortgages, therefore that this satisfaction was perfectly regular and valid. Parties who have bought the lands and those who have taken them as security for new leans claim, that as the county records showed the lands to be clear, therefore, they as innocent purchasers should not be subject to loss because of the existence of the unpaid mortgages. On the other hand it is claimed that, if Dunn was not authorized to release the mortgages, then the releases on the records are void and the records do not legally show the lands to be clear. Numerous other questions arise. There are seven cases involved in ditficulty as follows: J. P. Quincy vs. E. A. AUine et al. C. H. Bell vs. Emma Bitsche et al. A. T. Perkins vs. Paul Boever et al. J. P. Qnincy vs. Nicholas Grinshach, et al. D. P. Livermore vs. John Maxwell et al. Ann Davis vs. Math Werle et al. W. li. Robeson vs. Stephen English et al. The latter was begun yesterday. The cases are tried to the judge. TherQ'is no work for effect to enlist the sympathy or the prejudices of a jury, but it is law. and logic from the stort. There is a brilliant array of legal talent employed in the suits and every case is developed as carefully and as accurately as the demonstration of an intricate problem in geometry.

The next heard of them, Nothers was standing by the railroad track yelling for help and calling to people to catch the gas mill, meaning Manderville. "Gas mill" is a pet name that folks have for Manderville, because he always ' has enough conversation left on hand to fill balloons and light the streets. He is built that way. Some one was running away, but the spectators could not catch him. Nothers - claims that Manderville stole twenty dollars of him and ran away with it, Manderville claims that he is not in it at all. He says that he started home with !Nothers, but that Nothers got sleepy and wanted to go to bed on the sidewalk. He got him along to the railroad track when Nothers laid down. Manderville concluded that a man ought not to'be too particular where he slept, so he left him lying by the side of the railroad track in a good safe place near the rail and went on. He did not take the money and does not know anything about it. Unfortunately foi; him, several witnesses think that he is the man seen running away. The case was up before Justice Kain yesterday.

Title 58—RECREATION
Fishing; Seasons, Sizes and Creel Limits
[40 Pa.B. 7233]
[Saturday, December 18, 2010]
The Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) amends Chapters 61 and 69 (relating to seasons, sizes and creel limits; and fishing in Lake Erie and boundary lakes). The Commission is publishing this final-form rulemaking under the authority of 30 Pa.C.S. (relating to the Fish and Boat Code) (code).
A. Effective Date
The final-form rulemaking will go into effect on January 1, 2011.
B. Contact Person
For further information on the final-form rulemaking, contact Wayne Melnick, Esq., P. O. Box 67000, Harrisburg, PA 17106-7000, (717) 705-7810. This final-form rulemaking is available on the Commission's web site at www.fish.state.pa.us.
C. Statutory Authority
The amendments to §§ 61.1—61.3 and 69.12 are published under the statutory authority of section 2102 of the code (relating to rules and regulations).
D. Purpose and Background
The final-form rulemaking is designed to improve, enhance and update the Commission's fishing regulations. The specific purposes of the amendments are described in more detail under the summary of changes.
E. Summary of Changes
Because mussels, sometimes referred to as clams in slang, have declined greatly in their populations and their ranges both Nationally and within this Commonwealth, the conservation of mussels faces many challenges. Nearly 82% (54 species) of the native mussels in this Commonwealth are considered endangered, extirpated or of special concern (PABS, 2008). Nationally, mussels are declining; 70% of the 297 native species have an endangered, threatened, special concern or extinct status (Williams and Neves, 1995).
Under §§ 61.1(d), 61.2(d) and 69.12 (relating to Commonwealth inland waters; Delaware River, West Branch Delaware River and River Estuary; and seasons, sizes and creel limits—Lake Erie and Lake Erie tributaries), harvest of up to 50 fish bait is permitted per day with no seasons or size limits. Inland seasons, sizes and creel limits for fish bait apply to the Susquehanna River and Lehigh River under §§ 61.7 and 61.8 (relating to Susquehanna River and tributaries; and Lehigh River, Schuylkill River and tributaries). Under § 61.3(c) (relating to Pymatuning Reservoir), there are no season, size or creel restrictions on fish bait. Section 102 of the code (relating to definitions) defines ''fish bait'' as ''Unless otherwise provided by commission regulation, crayfish or crabs, mussels, clams and the nymphs, larvae and pupae of all insects spending any part of their life cycle in the water.''
Harvest of endangered and threatened mussels is prohibited under §§ 75.1 and 75.2 (relating to endangered species; and threatened species). Since mussels as a group are severely threatened, additional reduction of mussel populations by harvest as fish bait should be prohibited. Specifically, with the existing laws, the Commission is concerned that:
(1) Rare species will be harvested because they are difficult to identify correctly. Unless mussels are prohibited from bait use, anglers or other collectors could inadvertently collect rare or protected species. Additionally, enforcement of laws prohibiting harvest of protected species will not be effective if the Commission's waterways conservation officers are not well trained in the identification of mussels.
(2) Commercial pressure for mussel harvest for the pearl industry could decimate populations. Mussel shells are collected and pieces of nacre are used to seed pearl-producing oysters. At this time, a commercial harvester can legally take large quantities of mussels, removing many thousands of pounds of mussels a year. With a legal limit of 50 mussels per day and no season, 10 commercial collectors could legally take 500 mussels per day (182,500 mussels per year) as fishbait under existing Commission regulations. Commercial mussel poachers have been convicted for illegal harvest in West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and in the southeastern United States. By prohibiting a legal possession limit of mussels as fishbait, the Commonwealth can better protect its mussel resource.
(3) The transportation of aquatic invasive mussels could result in the introduction to additional waterways. Discharged zebra mussel and quagga mussels used for bait present significant risk for invasive mussel infestation. Although it is unlawful to possess the exotic zebra mussel and the closely related quagga mussel, they may be inadvertently transported to otherwise uninfested waters as fishbait.
The Pennsylvania Biological Survey's Bivalve Subcommittee and the Mollusk Committee have requested that the current mussel harvest with a Pennsylvania fishing license be disallowed. Other states, such as West Virginia, Ohio, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Indiana and Illinois, have laws making mussel harvest illegal.
For the previous reasons, the Commission proposed that the harvest of live mussels in this Commonwealth be prohibited by amending §§ 61.1—61.3. After the publication of the proposed rulemaking, however, the Commission discovered that § 69.12 was not among the sections proposed to be amended to prohibit the harvest of live mussels. This omission was inadvertent. Because the amendment of § 69.12 does not enlarge the original purpose of the proposed rulemaking (which is to protect declining populations of native mussels by prohibiting harvest on a Statewide basis), the Commission amends this section as set forth in Annex A. The Commission amends §§ 61.1—61.3 to read as set forth in the proposed rulemaking published at 40 Pa.B. 3669 (July 3, 2010).
F. Paperwork
The final-form rulemaking will not increase paperwork and will not create new paperwork requirements.
G. Fiscal Impact
The final-form rulemaking will have no adverse fiscal impact on the Commonwealth or its political subdivisions. The final-form rulemaking will not impose new costs on the private sector or the general public, except to the degree there is commercial harvest of mussels in this Commonwealth.
H. Public Involvement
Notice of proposed rulemaking was published at 40 Pa.B. 3669 (July 3, 2010). During the formal public comment period, the Commission received two comments supporting the proposed rulemaking. One of the commentators, however, noted that there are individuals who collect non-native species of Corbicula for consumption and who will be prohibited from doing so if the proposed amendments are adopted. Copies of all public comments were provided to the Commissioners.
The Commission finds that:
(1) Public notice of intention to adopt the amendments adopted by this order has been given under sections 201 and 202 of the act of July 31, 1968 (P. L. 769, No. 240) (45 P. S. §§ 1201 and 1202) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, 1 Pa. Code §§ 7.1 and 7.2.
(2) A public comment period was provided and all public comments received were considered.
(3) The adoption of the amendments of the Commission in the manner provided in this order is necessary and appropriate for administration and enforcement of the authorizing statutes.
The Commission, acting under the authorizing statutes, orders that:
(a) The regulations of the Commission, 58 Pa. Code Chapters 61 and 69, are amended by amending §§ 61.1—61.3 to read as set forth at 40 Pa.B. 3669 and by amending § 69.12 to read as set forth in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text of the regulations.
(b) The Executive Director will submit this order, 40 Pa.B. 3669 and Annex A to the Office of Attorney General for approval as to legality and form as required by law.
(c) The Executive Director shall certify this order, 40 Pa.B. 3669 and Annex A and deposit them with the Legislative Reference Bureau as required by law.
(d) This order shall take effect on January 1, 2011.

High Mountain Disease in Cattle
Joseph Neary, MA, VET MB
CSU Veterinary Extension
High mountain disease (HMD) is also known as brisket disease, high altitude disease, dropsy or big brisket to the rancher and is a common condition in cattle raised on ranches at high altitudes (>5,000ft) in Colorado and its surrounding states. Although the proportion of oxygen in the air is the same at all altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is not. This means that as altitude increases the oxygen content in the air decreases. The reduced amount of oxygen present in the air at high altitude means less oxygen reaches the lungs and pulmonary artery. This causes the pulmonary artery to constrict, becoming narrower, making it harder for the heart to pump the same amount of blood through the lungs (similar to a partially blocked hose pipe). The constrictive response of the pulmonary blood vessels to low oxygen levels common to all mammals is a means of distributing blood away from poorly oxygenated areas within the lung to areas that are better oxygenated. However, there are three main reasons why cattle are particularly susceptible to low oxygen levels:
The result of pulmonary artery contraction and narrowing is increased blood pressure in this vessel (pulmonary arterial hypertension). If the animal stays at high altitude and the hypoxic stimulus remains then the muscle cells present in the wall of the pulmonary artery grow so that the wall thickens. Eventually, due to the sustained pulmonary arterial hypertension, right-sided congestive/dilatory heart failure develops. In order to pump the same amount of blood through the lungs the heart must work harder. Similar to muscle growth from resistance training or enlargement of the heart by endurance training in humans the heart of cattle with elevated PAP responds to the increased workload by enlarging. However, over time, the changes that occur within the heart reduce the effectiveness of the heart as a pump and the heart begins to fail. Heart failure produces the clinical signs characteristic of the disease, and ultimately leads to death of the animal.
The signs of HMD
The cardinal sign of HMD is swelling of the brisket due to the buildup of fluid (edema). Other signs apparent of HMD in a live animal may include:
The body temperature is usually normal but it may rise if there is an underlying illness or the animal is heat stressed.
|Picture to the right shows High mountain disease in a calf.
|The picture to the left shows the heart responds to the increased demand placed on it by the high PAP by enlarging through cell replication. However, when dilation of the heart chambers exceeds wall thickening the function of the heart deteriorates for a number of reasons such as poor contractility and relaxation and increased wall stiffness. Ultimately, heart cells begin to die as the heart fails.
|Picture to the right shows brisket edema in a steer that died from HMD. Clear edema fluid oozes from the incision. The skin over the brisket pits when pressed with a finger.
Pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) testing can be used to detect pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, drugs cannot cure or prevent death from this disease. Preventative measures must be taken if HMD is to be avoided in other animals in the future.
It is important that HMD is differentiated from other causes of right side congestive heart failure because the measures that need to be taken to prevent future cases can be very different depending on the cause. For example, other causes of right-sided heart failure may include traumatic reticulopericarditis (hardware disease) due to consumption of wires or other metal foreign bodies, viral or bacterial infection of the heart and cardiomyopathy (degeneration of the heart) due to nutritional or hereditary reasons within the herd.
PAP measurement requires insertion of a large bore needle into the jugular vein through which a long flexible catheter is passed. The catheter is gently fed through the needle, down the jugular vein, through both the right atrium and then the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery. A pressure transducer attached to the catheter measures the pulmonary arterial pressure.
A high PAP measurement (>49 mmHg), regardless of age or altitude of the test, is a very accurate predictor of a high PAP measurement later in life. Therefore, one can assume that such an animal has a high likelihood of developing HMD if kept at high altitude.
Risk factors for PAP
It is thought that some breeds and specific pedigrees within breeds may be more naturally resistant to the effects of high altitude. However, all breeds show evidence of HMD.
There is no underlying physiologic basis for a difference in PAP between males and females. However, differing management and feeding practices may result in different PAP measurements for males and females in certain herds.
Pregnant cattle usually have a higher PAP measurement than non-pregnant cattle. The increase in the PAP score is higher for animals that already have a high PAP before pregnancy.
Eighty percent of animals tested at less than 12 months that have a PAP between 30 and 40 mmHg will remain at acceptable PAP levels at that particular altitude as they mature. Animals less than 12 months old with high PAP are accurately predicted to have high PAP later in life. However, mature PAP measurements for young animals that initially test between 41 to 49 mmHg have a high variability.
Other concurrent disease
Any cause of pulmonary hypoxia can increase PAP measurement; temporary or permanent. This may include infectious respiratory disease viruses, bacteria such as Mannheimia hemolytica, parasites such as lungworm and noninfectious causes such as traumatic reticuloperitonitis (hardware disease). Although respiratory disease alone may cause increased PAP, animals at high altitude are particularly susceptible.
Environment conditions
Temperatures below freezing have been shown to increase PAP by 25% to 55%.
Locoweed contains swainsonine that when ingested (certain species of Astragalus and Oxytropis) increases the incidence and severity of HMD in calves at high altitude but there is no evidence suggesting any affect on PAP. It is possible that swainsonine is directly toxic to the heart.
The susceptibility of cattle to hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension is inherited. The genetics of susceptibility are currently being investigated.
Ionophores fed to cattle at high altitude may increase the risk of pulmonary hypertension.

Fusilli with Oven-Roasted Tomatoes and Chicken
If you have leftover cooked skinless chicken breasts, use them instead of poaching the meat in Step 2; you'll need about 1 pound.
Slideshow: Fast Weekday Pastas
- Servings: 4
- 2 pounds plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat
- 1 small head of escarole, coarsely chopped
- 3/4 pound dried fusilli
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/3 cup finely shredded fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 400°. Set the tomatoes, cut side up on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake the tomatoes for about 45 minutes, or until very soft and lightly browned. Peel the tomatoes and transfer them to a medium bowl.
In a medium saucepan, cover the chicken breasts with 3 cups of water and bring to a simmer over low heat until just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Cut the chicken crosswise into thin slices and cover with plastic wrap to keep the meat moist. reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking broth.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the escarole and cook over high heat until just tender, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the escarole to a colander. Bring the water back to a boil and add the fusilli. Cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain the fusilli, leaving a little cooking water to keep the pasta moist, and return it to the saucepan; keep warm.
Pour the reserved chicken broth into a large skillet. Add the garlic and cook over moderately high heat for 30 seconds. Add the escarole and stir to blend with the garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Add the roasted tomatoes with their accumulated juices and the sliced chicken and cook until heated though. Stir in the rosemary. Add the roasted tomato mixture to the fusilli and toss well, then season with salt and pepper. Transfer the pasta to a large platter and sprinkle with the basil and Parmesan cheese. Serve at once.

Concord, NH– Kenny Cunningham, communications director for Marilinda Garcia for Congress, released the following statement and this video questioning whether Ann Kuster will face the people of New Hampshire:
"Throughout her entire political career, Rep. Ann Kuster has developed a reputation as someone who chooses to avoid communicating directly with her constituents, and instead hiding behind negative, misleading TV ads. Kuster has never held a single town hall meeting during her time in Congress. During this election, she has refused to publicize campaign events, rejected multiple debates with Marilinda, and most recently refused to participate in a town hall forum in Littleton with Marilinda," said Cunningham.
"Not only did Ann Kuster refuse this valuable opportunity to meet and talk with voters in Littleton, but she even sent multiple political "trackers" to the event who were tasked with video-taping Marilinda Garcia's every move in hopes she would do something embarrassing. New Hampshire voters deserve better than dishonest and secretive politicians who are unwilling to appear in public. Marilinda Garcia is running to be the open and accessible leader that New Hampshire deserves, and her campaign is continuing to gain momentum because of her commitments to honesty and integrity."

The district's board of trustees voted unanimously Monday to place a measure on the November ballot that, if passed, would raise almost $7 million a year, according to Becky Bartindale, a spokeswoman for the Foothill-De Anza Community College District. Property owners within the district's boundaries would be taxed up to $69 per parcel annually for six years.
Both Foothill and De Anza colleges have undergone budget cuts totaling more than $20 million over the past two years, according to Bartindale. As a result, courses have been cut along with hundreds of faculty and staff positions.
In order to pass, the measure must receive two-thirds of the vote.
Bruce Swenson, president of the district's board of trustees, said he is hopeful that the measure will get those votes.
"Somewhere around 70 percent of our district has either gone to Foothill or De Anza, or has a family member that has," he has said.
In a phone survey of about 800 district residents, Swenson said 75 percent of respondents said they would support the measure.
Swenson said that the United States is falling behind other countries when it comes to providing higher education to its citizens. "We live in a knowledge economy," he said. "To retain our economic position in the world, we need to provide high-quality education to our students."
This measure will help the cash-strapped Foothill-De Anza serve more students and provide a better educational experience to the students it does serve, Swenson said.
"It will be of significant help to the district," he said. "It will help maintain core academic classes in science, math and writing, and also continue job training for health care professionals, such as nurses and paramedics, and prepare students for transfer."

Germany's geographic location has established it as a European crossroads. As such, it is one of the leading economic and political powers within the European Union. Even now, Germany bears the traces of the post-war division of its capital. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the remaining sections of the Berlin Wall, now an iconic monument. Book a stay at the Golden Tulip Hamburg hotel, it's located in the centre of Berlin close to the famous Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of German unity and the scene of grand New Year's Eve festivities each year. There's plenty to see in Germany's other major cities: historic Munich with its famous beer festival, and cultural Cologne, watched over by the towering Gothic spires of its cathedral. Stay in a Golden Tulip hotel in Frankfurt and visit the nearby Römerberg - this magnificent square with its jumble of pointed gables is the focal point of the old town. If you're visiting Germany, take the opportunity to explore some of its beautiful landscapes and picturesque villages, and – of course – to taste some of its famous beer.

Comfortable, pleasant small hotelPosted Oct 20, 2012 on Hotels
Nice small hotel with very pleasant staff - second only to Sarajevo as most friendly accommodation people we came across in over 5 weeks of travel in central Europe. When we stayed in October it was quiet so we didn't have issues of lots of other patron noise but the location is in a quiet street so no traffic noise. The location is unfortunately on the "wrong side of the railway" from the city centre. It takes about 10 - 15 mins walk to the station and a further 10 - 15 mins to the city centre. It is not that easy to find at first. Breakfast is OK but a little below average for this type of hotel. Room cleanliness was fine. As other people have commented, the room was quite dark and could have done with improved lighting. Also the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor.

Good short stay at Lisinski.Posted Jun 16, 2012 on Hotels
I stopped for 3 nights at Hotel Lisinski and found it a good hotel. Can be initially tricky to find going off the google map but if coming from Zagreb Gl.k railway station it is Hotel Lisinski is on the opposite side of the station to the main building. Go down the stairs and walk through the shopping arcade under the station to the bus station. Veer left slightly and straight on until you come to a road, it's a sort of curved T junction. Head left towards, I think, the local concert hall (classical music type). You should now see the big main road, cross that and there's a big post office building in front. There is a path that routes behind it and on to the street – you'll pass a restaurant place and a couple of bars and the hotel is a bit further up. Only about 5 mins walking give or take. Breakfast selection was fine, normal continental buffet style fare.

This is a good hotel. Still I think is quite expensive for service it is provided. Noise from hall is quite anoing. You can hear everything and anything. So in the morning is someone is living you can here steps, all dors including entrance door. Breakfast could be better. In first morning they forget to put eggs and sausages, but they remembered on the next morning. Also people are smoking in the same place where you take breakfast. Overall is quite good.

I do not recommend this hotelPosted May 13, 2012
This hotel is not value for money and was not well cleaned. There were spiders and a lot of mould in our room
by A verified traveler from New Zealand
Helpful staffPosted Nov 23, 2011
I stayed here for one night and arrived at around 7pm. I was travelling alone and assumed there'd be restaurants or cafes nearby where I could buy some dinner. There wasn't really anywhere close... or rather nowhere I'd have been keen to walk to at night. The lady on reception was so helpful as she ordered Italian food for me and another couple who were staying and this was delivered to us. The rooms and clean and modern and have free wi-fi. Breakfast was pretty good too. It takes around 20mins to walk to the train station from the hotel and I was happy to do this the following morning, leave my bag in a locker at the station and explore the city before my train departed.

Usable HotelPosted Nov 1, 2011 on Hotels
Practically the only hotel near the train station and still a good 10 min walk down a rather grotty street. Staff were excellent, room was clean, comfortable, quiet and spacious if a little odd. My main problem was that the curtains were too thin.
by A verified traveler
Very nice staffPosted Sep 17, 2011 on Hotels
The staff were very helpful and it was a nice surprise that they prepared a breakfast pack for us because we had to leave early in the morning and would have had to miss the breakfast that was included in the hotel price. (even though we didn't ask for it, they voluntarily prepared it for us!) The room was clean, but a little dim-lighted. The atmosphere of the room was somewhat more like a B&B than a hotel. Location: 5 minutes from the train station, about 15 minutes away from the main city center.

Glasgow Shawfield Riot of 1725 – Wee Scotch Whisky Tales by Ian R. Mitchell – May, 2015
Ian R. Mitchell
Born in Aberdeen, Ian taught History for over twenty years at Clydebank College near Glasgow, and during that time wrote a standard textbook, Bismarck and the Development of Germany. He later gave up teaching to write full-time. A lifelong mountaineer, in 1987 Ian produced (with Dave Brown) the book Mountain Days and Bothy Nights which has become a classic of Scottish and international mountaineering literature, being continuously in print for over a quarter of a century. Described at that time in the Scottish Mountaineering Club Journal as the book for the rucksack this year it has remained so for twenty five years. This was followed by another work with Dave Brown in 1991, A View from the Ridge which won the prestigious Boardman-Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature. Mountain Magazine said the book celebrates a glorious and honourable tradition in Scottish mountaineering (and) left me hoping for more.
From his own pen Ian subsequently produced Scotlands Mountains before the Mountaineers (1998) and On the Trail of Queen Victoria in the Highlands (2001) both of which won the Outdoor Writers Guild Award for Excellence. The former book was described by High Magazine as The most significant book on Scottish mountaineering of the decade, and the Guardian stated that Scotlands Mountains would give you much to think about next time you are up that mountain. Ians work on Queen Victoria meanwhile was praised in The Times as entertaining, well-researched and by a distinguished historian. Though still a keen mountaineer and hillwalker Ian has more recently developed an interest in urban walking and heritage which new development has produced two books about his adoptive Glasgow. The first was This City Now; Glasgow and its Working-Class past (2005) of which the Daily Mail said the warmth and wit of working class Glasgow pervades the books heart and soul, and Clydeside; Red, Orange and Green (2009), which attracted a Scottish Arts Council grant, the second of Ians books to be so distinguished. Of this latter work the Morning Star commented that, Mitchells infectious enthusiasm leaves the reader with the compelling urge to follow in his footsteps. A further book of urban discovery about his native town, Aberdeen beyond the Granite. (2010), was praised in the Aberdeen Press and Journal, as follows, Mitchell has honoured the spirit of fine, hard-working people with a splendid book.
As well as writing books Ian had published widely in newspapers and journals such as History Scotland, Scots Magazine, the Herald and he has appeared on radio and television programmes on travel and the outdoors, such as BBCs Landward, Country File and Country Trax programmes. He has also lectured to organisations such as the Royal Scottish Geographical Society, the Scottish National Trust and to hillwalking clubs and historical associations throughout the UK on the subject of his books. Ian has further been featured at the Dundee and Kendal Mountain Film and Book Festivals as well as at the Banff International Mountain Book and Film Festival in Canada, in addition to giving many talks during his frequent visits to Utah.
Ian has completed a biography of Alexander Kellas, the Aberdonian mountaineer who was the first man to die on Everest, on the Reconnaissance of 1921. As well as gaining Ian a return invitation to speak at the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival in Canada, in addition to invites to repeat performances at the Dundee Mountain Film Festival (both in November 2011), Ian will be talking about this book, Prelude to Everest, at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, as well as at the Alpine Club, University College and Royal Geographical Society in London in February 2012.
Another project is a travelogue bringing together his Utah experiences, entitled A Sinner among the Saints: Trails in and around Mormon Utah.

Dunno if you remember me (and us down in Leeds) but just watched the excellent BBC Bothy-Life documentary. Reminded me of many days (and nights) in wild places and your books. Anyways, just thought I'd say hello and say thanks.

Josef Frank's mid-century textiles and furniture designs always surprise me. The Austrian-born Swedish architect, known as the father of Swedish Modern, combined nature-inspired motifs with simple, sculptural forms in an unexpected and wholly delightful way. His work projects a sense of joy without veering into whimsy—a balancing act that appeals to my own sensibilities.
I had a chance to experience some of Frank's creations in person last weekend at the Embassy of Sweden in Washington, D.C. The Embassy's small but enjoyable exhibition, The Enduring Designs of Josef Frank, contains several large Frank textiles and many furniture and tabletop pieces. Frank designed them all for the Swedish companies Haus & Garten and Svenskt Tenn (the latter is the show's sponsor).
The exhibit continues through June 20, 2013. Click here for information on attending and here for a recap of an earlier stop at the Swedish American Museum in Chicago.

Transatlantice experience: Celebrity Equinox Cruise Review by JoAnneV
Overall Member Rating
Transatlantice experience
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: Barcelona
In Madrid we took the Airport Express bus from the airport to the train station and the metro from there to a stop a few blocks from our hotel, Francisco I. Everything went very smoothly even with bags. The location of the hotel was great, right on the pedestrian mall and the hotel was very nice. We visited the Royal Palace, The Prado Art Museum, and Centro de Arte Reina Sofia. The city is very easy to get around on foot. We went to Casa Patas for a Flamenco Show and had hot chocolate and Irish Coffee at San Gines. The food was great and we were able to get along with very minimal More Spanish.
We took the Metro back to the train station and took the train to Barcelona. The train ride was smooth and very easy. We took the Metro from the train station to a stop near our hotel, NH Hoteles Barcelona Central. The hotel was very nice and in a great location. We did a fun Tapas Walking Tour the first evening and then spent the next day on Montjuic. We walked all the way up to the Castle. The views were amazing. We visited El Poble Espanol. There is an entrance fee to the village. I thought it was fun, but it is mostly shopping and restaurants. We walked to the Barcelonetta area and had very good sea food for dinner at Saluda del Mar. Then we went to a Flamenco concert at the Palau de Musica which was good. We wandered around the market and the Gothic quarter the next morning before we boarded the ship. We took a cab from the hotel to the port. We had been in Barcelona before so we did not go to Sagrada Familia.
Ship check in was easy. Our room wasn't ready until 1:00 so we had lunch at The Bistro on Five which wasn't crowded at all. All aboard was at 3:30 so we decided we didn't have time to go back into the city. Sail away was at 5:00. The Equinox is a beautiful ship. The public spaces are well maintained. The one thing that always bother us on the S Class ships is the scheduling of the dance bands in the foyer on Deck 3. Lots of people dance and the dance floor is very small with the steps from Deck 4 ending right on the dance floor. It just doesn't work! We were in Aqua Class which we liked a lot. The cabins are about the same as regular balcony cabins, but eating in Blu was a great experience. I think the food was better than the main dining room and probably a little healthier depending on what you ordered. The atmosphere was very nice: open seating at whatever time you liked and mostly tables for two. Breakfast in Blu was really good, too. Service was great except for the sommeliers. They seemed overwhelmed and we had trouble getting service and then problems getting more wine poured during dinner when the bottle was in an ice bucket away from our table. Red we poured for ourselves! Our cabin steward was great.
Shows and entertainment were pretty standard. One of the production shows is a Cirque type show. I like the regular production shows better. The Elton John tribute by Neil Lockwood was very good. Some of the musical groups were not as good as we have had in the past. The speaker on forensics who talked several times on the cruise was interesting. The other speakers who talked on culture and history and astronomy weren't quite as good.
Our first port was Cartagena where we wandered around on our own. Cartagena is small and we docked right in town. The city has a number of Roman Ruins that are all well signed and easy to find. We had lunch at a local bar. Our next port was Malaga where we participated in a private tour to the Alhambra in Granada. The Alhambra is beautiful and well worth the long bus ride. The next day we docked in Cadiz and did another private tour to Sevilla which is another beautiful city and again worth the bus ride. The next day was Lisbon which we did on our own. We used Rick Steve's book on Lisbon and wandered around the Alfama and Baixa areas. We had lunch and pastry in town and tried the cherry liqueur. It was fun, but not as memorable as Granada and Sevilla. We had a sea day and then stopped in Tenerife in the Canary Islands. We did a ship's tour for a half day into Teide National Park. It was a big bus, but it was pretty good. The volcanic area was interesting to see. The rest of the day we spent on our own in Tenerife having lunch and walking around. We were there on Sunday so it was pretty quiet, many shops were closed.
The next seven days were at sea. We kept very busy. The ship scheduled dance lessons, speakers, and lots of activities so we didn't get bored. Seven days of ship in a row were just too many for us. I wouldn't do that many sea days again. We had very good weather, fairly warm with a few showers and no high seas. Customs in Fort Lauderdale was really slow, almost an hour in line. We did a ship's excursion since we had a late flight. The bus tour was good, but the boat portion was pretty boring but better than sitting in the airport. Less

Cabin review: 1553
Our cabin was very nice. We did have a wide overhang so we were shaded most of the day. The window washing equipment was in front of the next cabin, but really wasn't a problem.

First take the horn caps off by boiling in water, then you will take a saw and cut off right around 8 to 10 inches of inside core and boil again then they are ready to air dry. When they are air dried take your horn caps put some bondo in them and bondo back on cores. If i can be of anymore assistance just e-mail me.

REACT scheme to explore future of books
Authors Nick Harkaway and Neil Gaiman are to take part in a new nationwide scheme being launched to explore books and print as a "historical, contemporary and future phenomena".
The initiative will comprise eight collaborations taking place between creative economy partners and academic researchers. Harkaway and Gaiman will collaborate on "these pages fall like ash" by academic Tom Abba and artists collective Circumstance, which will invite an audience to participate in a digital-first narrative experience "challenging traditional publishing norms".
Executive producer Clare Reddington said: "In a time when the publishing industry continues to be put under pressure to change because of new creation and distribution channels, the strength of the collaborations and the focus on narrative and writing within the group is particularly rewarding.
"Over the next three months, these projects will explore the many opportunities for the written word in a digital age and I can't wait to see what they will produce."
Each collaboration will receive funding from the REACT Knowledge Exchange Hub for the Creative Economy, which is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). Each academic partner will receive funding of £50,000, with up to £10,000 to the creative economy partner. Each collaboration will be developed at the Pervasive Media Studio, Watershed, in Bristol.
The list of projects also includes: Writer On The Train by Fabrizio Nevola, Agant and James Attlee which will use the linear space of the Bristol to London mainline, utilising smart phones and GPS to "deliver a new literary form" and The Secret Lives of Books by Guerilla Dance Company and academic Tom Mitchell.
The scheme falls under the banner of Books and Print Sandbox, which is part of REACT, led by UWE Bristol.
REACT supports innovative products and transformational services by bringing together companies and academics through game-changing collaborations using the sandbox model.

4. I also think it is sour grapes for losing in 2008.
You known damn well that McCain HATES Obama (besides being black) for simply losing to him in 2008. It must be pretty tough to work that hard at the election horse race and come up empty handed. Plus you look like a loser to the whole world.
So this current election was McCain's next best hope for sweet revenge by McCain. Of course, Obama won however. So McCain is now trying to dig stuff up, make stuff up, tear down a loyal employee like Susan Rice, etc.

3. I think this is the a big difference in the parties.
When the Democrats took Congress back in 2006 there was a decision not to investigate war crimes by the Bush administration and think they thought it would involve wasting money and they would never get Bush to admit any mistakes like even the outing of Valerie Plame and the head which rolled was not Cheney.

5. President Obama
is still in power and he still has his Attorney General. The Republicans and John McCain better walk softly. What you cite can be reversed. I don't know if the Republicans want to continue tread down that road. The President is not dumb. They also hold the Senate. He also can appoint Judges.
To get to the point, some countries internationally want to prosecute the Bush Administration for War Crimes. His administration is out of Power and that can happen. John McCain and Lindsey Graham are not clean themselves. We can also talk about torture under the Geneva Convention. The United States under the Bush Administration did what it wanted to do because we have the most powerful military in the World. The Obama Administration chose to move on but if push come to shove, we do still have all the cards if McCain and Graham want to continue down their destructive road. And we can also reopen 9\11 because I believe the Bush Administration was negligent. So does McCain,Graham,King and Guiliano want to continue?

6. You forget, though
when those 11 attacks occurred during the Bush regime, they were all the fault of Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton or Barack Obama. When the attacks happened under Obama, it was all directly the fault of Obama and Susan Rice.
