Legislative actions
113th Congress
The second session of the 113th Congress enacted into law 114 out of the 3,036 introduced bills (3.8 percent). Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[6] For more information pertaining to Sires's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[7]
National security
Sires voted in opposition of HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[8]
DHS Appropriations
Sires voted in opposition of HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 and was largely along party lines.[8]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Sires supported House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[8]
Sires supported HR 624 - the CISPA (2013). The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities.[9] The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[8]
Farm Bill
- See also: United States Farm Bill 2013
Sires voted against the Farm Bill on July 11, 2013. The bill passed in a 216-208 vote.[10] The bill passed included farm policy, but did not include food stamps.[11]
King Amendment
Sires signed a letter sent to Collin Peterson in August 2013, asking him to keep Steve King's amendment out of the final Farm Bill.[12] The "Protect Interstate Commerce Act" amendment prevents states from applying their own laws on agricultural products to agricultural products from another state.[13]. King introduced the amendment in response to a law in California, requiring a larger size cage for egg-producing chickens. King represents Iowa, which is a large egg producer.
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[14] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[15] Sires voted against the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[14]
The shutdown finally ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[16] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Sires voted for HR 2775.[17]
Morton Memos Prohibition
Sires voted against House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States.[18] The vote largely followed party lines.[19]
Repealing Obamacare
Sires has voted against all attempts to repeal or delay the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.[20]
Social issues
Sires voted against HR 1797 - Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The resolution passed the House on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 228 - 196. The purpose of the bill is to ban abortions that would take place 20 or more weeks after fertilization.[21]
Previous congressional sessions
Fiscal Cliff
Sires voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was 1 of 172 Democrats that voted in favor of the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257 - 167 vote on January 1, 2013.[22]
Political positions
Sires' website highlighted the following campaign themes:[23]
- Economy: "I remain committed to improving our current economic outlook by supporting legislation that will help New Jersey's families, stimulate our economy, and create jobs."
- Education: "Education is the cornerstone of opportunity. We must do more as a country to support education by strengthening our schools, fully funding special education, and modernizing our classrooms."
- Global Leadership: "I believe that basic human rights and fundamental freedoms must be upheld and respected around the world, in every nation and in every community. No child should have to suffer unnecessarily simply because of where he or she was born."
- Healthcare: "Every American deserves access to quality, affordable health care. Without access to affordable health care, our children cannot learn properly, parents cannot be as productive at work, and our seniors are forced to choose between food, shelter, or medical care."
- Homeland Security: "New Jersey's 13th District is home to what is considered to be the most dangerous two-mile stretch in the country. With one of the largest ports in the country, chemical plants, the Newark Airport, and critical transportation infrastructure, securing this region is of great importance to the communities I represent and to the nation."
- Housing: "The foundation of the American Dream is to have a home to call your own."
- Medicare: "While there are improvements that can be made to Medicare in order to reduce wasteful spending and make them more cost efficient, we must not abandon our commitment to the millions of Americans who rely on these programs for every-day needs and for future generations that were guaranteed these benefits."
- Seniors: "I am a steadfast advocate for American's seniors and the issues they care about, including retirement security, the health of Medicare, and the high cost of prescription drugs."
- Tax Reform: "I support reforming our tax system in a way that will create jobs, strengthen the middle class, encourage entrepreneurs, and help small businesses grow and hire."
- Transportation: "Investment in our transportation modes is vital to enhancing our economy, increasing our safety, maintaining our global competitiveness, and most importantly improving our quality of life."
- Veterans: "With our aging veteran population and so many new veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, I am committed to providing veterans and their families with the care and benefits they deserve."
- Women: "Last Congress, I voted for, and Congress passed, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, giving women the right to seek legal redress for wage discrimination."
Sires ran in the 2014 election for the U.S. House to represent New Jersey's 8th District. Sires sought the Democratic nomination in the primary on June 3, 2014. The general election took place November 4, 2014.
In the 2011 redistricting, Albio Sires' 13th District was eliminated, and he ran for election representing the 8th District.[24] He defeated Michael Shurin in the June 5 Democratic primary and defeated Republican Maria Karczewski in the November general election.[25][26]

This is in fact a real LCVP - a "Landing Craft, Vehicle and Personnel", also known in the US as a "Higgins Boat" after its designer, Andrew Higgins from New Orleans. After the end of WW2, there were many similar landing craft all over the Portsmouth area, which were sold off to whoever wanted a small, flat-bottomed craft. We acquired this one from its previous owner some years ago. The ramp is not original, as the previous owner had removed it and boarded over the bow (I guess he didn't need to use it as a landing craft) but the rest of the craft is real. Unfortunately the identification number of this specific landing craft is lost, so we don't know its exact history, but we have given it the number of an LCVP that we know, from old photos, was used in the Portsmouth area in 1944.

CASBAA 2012: Twiston Davies Honoured with Chairman's Award Hong Kong, Nov 1, 2012 - (ACN Newswire) - Out-going CASBAA CEO Simon Twiston Davies has been honoured with the Annual CASBAA Chairman's Award during the final day of the CASBAA Convention 2012 in Hong Kong. Twiston Davies will step down from his current role on December 31st and will be succeeded by a new management team lead by in-coming CEO Christopher Slaughter. "Under Twiston Davies' management CASBAA has become a central industry voice for the multichannel TV industry across 18 Asia Pacific markets running from Japan to Pakistan; China to Australasia and beyond," said CASBAA Chairman Marcel Fenez. "Most importantly, CASBAA has become the 'Go To' industry body in Asia if you are a serious multichannel TV player, or want to be one. That is Twiston Davies' most notable contribution," said Fenez. According to Fenez, since taking up his appointment in 2000, Twiston Davies worked tirelessly to emphasize the value of the multichannel TV industry while more than doubling the number of participating CASBAA companies to the 130 Members of the Association of today. Twiston Davies said he was greatly honoured by the Award which was as much a tribute to the support of the CASBAA Membership since 2000 as it was to successive Executive Office teams.

MAFFEI: Mickelson in TV spotlight at Augusta this weekend
Hoop scoop
-- The three-man CBS booth of Jim Nantz, Clark Kellogg and Steve Kerr for the NCAA tournament's Final Four worked very well. There was good chemistry with Kellogg and Kerr complementing each other and Nantz keeping things flowing. But the trio has a ways to go to beat the team of Dick Enberg, Billy Packer and Al McGuire. Those three worked together 30 years ago and are still considered by many as the best sports-broadcast team ever.
-- Monday's NCAA tournament championship game -- a horrible contest between Connecticut and Butler -- drew an 11.7 rating, down 18 percent from last year's Duke-Butler title game. In Indianapolis, the home of Butler, the game did a 49.2 rating. While in Hartford, the capital of Connecticut, the game did a 28.2.
-- Sports fans apparently liked the new NCAA tournament format on CBS, TNT, TBS and truTV, with games averaging 10.2 million viewers. That's up 7 percent from last year when games were exclusively on CBS, and it's the best overall average audience since 2005.
-- Analyst Charles Barkley called Monday's title game "unparalleled ineptitude" as well as "awful and unwatchable." I agree with most of what Barkley said. The only reason the game wasn't unwatchable is because it was for the national championship. If it were a game on a Saturday afternoon or a weeknight on ESPN, I would have flipped the channel to "Cash Cab."
-- The L.A. Times reported that Joel Meyers will be out at the end of the season as the TV voice of the Lakers. He'll be replaced by Spero Dedes, the team's radio voice. Speculation is that Bill Macdonald will replace Dedes on the radio. Next season is the last for the Lakers on FSN and KCAL Channel 9. The team will start a 20-year deal in 2012-13 with a Time Warner Cable channel that will place a special emphasis on Southern California sports.
Olympic talks
The International Olympic Committee plans to sell the next set of American TV rights in June. Networks will be given the option to bid on two or four Games.
Three networks -- NBC, Fox and ESPN -- are expected to bid. NBC paid $2 billion for the rights to the 2010 and 2012 Games.
Networks will be bidding on the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, and the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janerio. Bidding could also take place for the 2018 Winter Games and the 2020 Summer Games.
Bidding is expected to far exceed what NBC paid for the 2010 and 2012 Games.
Around the dial
-- The UEFA Champions League quarterfinals start at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday with matches on Fox Soccer Channel (Real Madrid-Tottenham) and Fox Sports Net (Inter Milan-FC Schalke) and at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday on FSC (Chelsea-Manchester United). Fox's Eric Wynalda predicts that Real Madrid, Chelsea and Inter Milan will win.
-- NBC's final regular-season installment of the "NHL Game of the Week" at 9:30 a.m. Sunday features the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks against the Detroit Red Wings. The Blackhawks are fighting for a playoff spot with Anaheim, Calgary and Dallas.

Chimney Hill is a beautiful B&B! The decor in the rooms is very tasteful. The alpacas are funny & cute creatures! The hunt room, where we stayed was very clean & pretty! The breakfast wasnt bad but it would have been nice to know if there was a selection or if that was the only item available. The owner was very pleasant & helpful! He made the stay very nice :-) Overall great experience!

Beautiful but pricey if you don't have a living social esp since it needs a bit of maintenance here and there. I really also don't expect to have to ask for basics that are included such as the robes, coffee, breakfast and everything to work like the entire jacuzzi not just part. But overall good weekend and innkeeper did offer to credit us for one night due to the circumstances. ...yet to be seen. Alpacas cute. Very clean. Innkeeper definitely overwhelmed but he was very nice.

My husband and I purchased a Living Social deal that included a stay at the Chimney Hill Estate Inn. We had a lovely Barn Suite, which was spacious and lovely with a nice gas fire place. The bed was very comfortable. One of the key attractions was the alpacas farm. We were given two bags of feed and were able to feed them. They were adorable and it was a nice cap to the weekend. The owner was very friendly, as were the rest of the staff. We had a great time!

This was my first B&B experience and it was marvelous. We chose this B&B for the alpacas but stayed for the people. We had a magical time and met so many neat people during their evening welcome receptions. I've already made reservations to return!

Even with snow on the ground and colder temperatures that made appreciating the walking areas on and around the property, our stay was fantastic. The owner and staff were very friendly, courteous, and helpful. The rooms were nice though some of the furniture wasn't the most comfortable. The Jacuzzi branded shower and tub in our room helped to alleviate any stress while the beautiful estate house itself provided a wonderfully decorated and inviting atmosphere to both lounge and interact in. We would absolutely go again.

Quaint farm/inn. The alpacas added their own charm to our stay. Downtown Lambertville is a short drive and there is plenty to see and do. If you like wineries, there are many to choose from. The staff was friendly and the service was exceptional.

Chimney Hill Estate Inn was an awesome little getaway. They have fireplaces everywhere. The Alpacas are really fun to feed and the people are more than accommodating and friendly. The breakfast tasted incredible. I would highly recommend Chimney Hill to anyone looking to stay.

We stayed at Chimney Hill on Valentine's Day in Barn Suite #3 because it looked beautiful, spacious but cozy, and had the double-sided fireplace and corner jacuzzi tub for two. The bed being up in the loft was really neat as well. This room was unlike any other I have ever been in. It was because of this suite as well as getting to feed alpacas that we chose this as our little getaway for V-Day. Rich, the innkeeper, was really friendly and laid back upon our check-in, telling us right away he was there to make sure we were happy. Later, when we came for the "S'mores and wine" social hour in the pretty Stone Room, he enthusiastically shared stories on the history of the alpacas, and the B&B itself. He was informative and entertaining. Deb was also nice and showed us how to eat these special S'mores (marshmallows with chocolate liquor!) Feeding the alpacas was super fun. They are so cute; 7 males I think came out to eat and greet us. I loved them! We had a lovely dinner at Hamilton's Grille Room in the town of Lambertville and drinks at The Boathouse, before returning to our cozy room where we enjoyed the jacuzzi. The only thing missing were the bathrobes. We did not see those. One more little thing -- the TV is small and outdated, but it is meant to fit in the nook above the fireplace I guess, but we wished there was a DVD player, or a second TV up in the bedroom loft to watch in bed. But we had a cozy stay and kept warm while it snowed. Breakfast was a usual breakfast -- that morning was blueberry pancakes and bacon. And a hot fruit cobbler to start. You could sit with others if you wanted, but there were enough tables for two, if you wanted to be alone. Overall it was a lovely way to spend Valentine's Day. The morning we checked out was one of the coldest in NJ in years. Zero degrees and 50mph winds or something, and feeding the alpacas was hard in the biting cold, but I just had to do it one last time! Thanks for a great stay, we won't soon forget it!!

For Valentine's Day, my fiancee and I visited Chimney Hill Estate Inn. NEVER have I seen a place quite like it. Rich, the innkeeper, is an amazingly friendly, affable, friendly and knowledgeable man. He makes you feel like you're the only guest there and that it is your home as well as his. Our room (Barn Suite #3) was an incredible 2 story, spacious, antique filled suite with a double jacuzzi, double fireplace, and all the amenities of home. The bed was even super comfortable! We walked around the grounds and saw the wonderful alpacas that lived there and even got a chance to feed them. The location is perfect because it's just a hop across the bridge to New Hope where we had dinner and then returned to our super romantic suite. Breakfast was amazing! Chimney Hill doesn't skimp at all. And all the folks that work there are so friendly, it's just like a home away from home. We can't wait to go back and plan to do so next month. We also looked through some brochures because they do weddings there by a company by Deborah, who's as beautiful as she is talented. The weddings looked amazing and she is a wonderful person. We give this in our highest rating in everything because it's true. Leslie Fleisher and Jim Holleran

Jacobsen takes first-round lead in Greensboro
Share This Story
Jacobsen started on the second nine Thursday and flew out of the gate. He collected six birdies in his first six holes which is a career best, topping the five in a row he had in the first round last week in the Las Vegas Invitational.
Jacobsen dropped a shot at the 16th but reclaimed the lost stroke one hole later to make the turn at six-under-par 30.
At the first hole, Jacobsen sank a 15-footer for birdie, then parred his next three holes. He rolled in a 12-foot birdie putt at the fifth then knocked his approach to tap-in range to set up birdie at the seventh.
His three-iron missed the green at the eighth hole and he took bogey but once again rebounded. At the par-five ninth, Jacobsen holed a 20-footer for birdie to go one clear of Ames.
Jacobsen won the Greater Hartford Open earlier this season for his first victory on tour since 1995. He underwent slumps and a hip operation but is now in the midst of a great run on tour.
"When I won at the GHO earlier this year, that changed a lot of my focus," admitted Jacobsen. "Yes, you want to be able to be in the World Golf Championship events, you want to qualify for the major championship events, and I would include the Tour Championship as a major event on our tour. So any time you win and have a good year, you look even higher and you set your sights higher."
Jacobsen was also gracious to
"Davis has retained a lot of the old course flavor, but also added a lot of variety," Jacobsen said. "The golf course is more like a roller coaster. That's exciting to a golfer, nobody wants to play the same hole over and over."
Ames was flawless on Thursday with five birdies on his front nine and three on the back. The native of Trinidad has only two top-10s on tour in 2003 and none since Bay Hill in March.
"I've always enjoyed playing the golf course," said Ames. "Now that the golf course itself has changed quite a bit, which is nice, and I think a lot of players will enjoy it in the future."
Toms only made the turn at two-under but tallied five birdies in his first six holes on the back nine.
"I drove the ball well today," said Toms, the 2001 PGA Champion. "I could shoot at some of the flags in the corners. I took my chances when I could and backed off when I needed to."
Maruyama recorded seven birdies against no bogeys for his share of third place.
Love only managed a two-under 70 in his opening round at his course.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Iroquois New York City
Quiet and Close to everything
We just returned from 5 days in New York City during the Thanksgiving holiday. My husband and an 18 year old daughter, and 21 year old son.
We all loved the cozy, quiet hotel. It is close to everything we needed and not a large loud chain hotel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We had two adjoining rooms and they were all we hoped for. We will stay there on our next visit!
Great Place in the City
Stayed here Thanksgiving 2002 and loved it. Needed to switch rooms due to some plumbing and were taken care of immediately. Awesome location to theaters and times square. Can be pricey, but if you find a deal, take it!
"Elegance, Elegance, Elegance!!!"
We stayed in the lovely room 500, which almost connects to one of the elevators. So easy was the access, in and out, that we did just that, came and went frequently. We used to stay at the Westbury, famous for its high-powered perfoming clients, but have switched to Iroquois because of its incredibly convenient proximity to the theater district and all the wonderful vibrance and life of the Times Square areas. We have found a new home in The City, where the staff seems like that in our own home.
Ok, but would not stay here again
Hotel is ok. Just not really my style. I am sure I got the smallest room in the house, must be a specialty of quikbook. Staff was very nice though.I happened to walk into the Mansfield Hotel across the street on this visit and found my next hotel! It had an aura that Iroquois was missing.Fitness room was adequate.
Wonderful Place to Stay
We found this hotel to be quiet, clean, convenient and friendly. The room we had was not large but lovely. Only complaint would be that the air conditioning did not work well in our room. The staff is very accomodating and the restaurant was wonderful.
Treated like Royalty
My husband and I stayed at the Iroquois back in Thanksgiving 2001. We took advantage of cheaper rooms to support the tourist industry after the dreadful sept. 11th. We wouldn't normally have been able to afford this hotel and as budget travellers Im sure we looked a little out of place showing up with Back-packs instead of Prada suitcases !!!!!
However we were treated wonderfully......the staff recognizing us after just a few hours, opening door and generally helping us find great places to visit and cool restaurants. The rooms were beautiful and not really too small by New York standards. Gorgeous down comforters, white robes and a bathroom to die for. If I hadn't been so keen to see more of New York I could have stayed in that bed forever !! Being thanksgiving there was a beautiful Xmas tree up in the lobby and constant hot cider available for free.Thanks you Iroquois.If we ever win the lottery we will be back on a regular basis.
Lovely BUT noisy
I had a 'boutique' room at the back on the third floor, then fifth and eventually eight and even after the third move of room the noise from adjoining air-con units was awful. I can't understand hoteliers that spend a fortune on the decor but don't double or triple glaze rooms!
The only place I stay
This small hotel is among the most charming, attentive, accommodating, and comfortable places I've visited. Although the rooms are a bit small, they are cleverly arranged so that I never felt cramped. The beds are clean, comfortable, and full of fluffy pillows. The staff is friendly, and knew me by name after my first night. The restaurant is top-notch, too. A very nice stay!
Classic Elegance and Old-World Charm!
This hotel was recommended to us by friends, and they were right! The Old-World Elegance of this classy hotel was just what we wanted for our romantic getaway! The beds were comfortable, and the rooms were amazingly upscale for the price we paid. We got to visit Broadway and Fifth Avenue, and when we returned to our suite's living room, we felt like we were in a fine Paris hotel...we will very likely return again for an encore of our own "Autumn in New York."
Warm and Inviting
This is a small hotel which has been completely refurbished with the utmost of taste and comfort in mind. The rooms are small, yet comfortable. There is a wonderful lounge area for espresso and a continental breakfast. It has a wonderful atmosphere and the staff is helpful and professional. If you are looking for a cozy, romantic place that is not overly expensive, this is it.

Bye NYC, concrete jungle where dreams are made of!
... Thomas into running.
On 30th December we met up with Thomas's work team for a goodbye lunch. Nat and Greg were there with their 13 day old son who was very cute. We went to Blue Smoke famous for its burgers and ribs. The team gave Thomas a Rangers top as a leaving present which he loves! He has been very fortunate to have such a fantastic team to work with whilst we have been here and they are good friends rather than just ...
New York State of Mind
... waking up to a sunny winters day though a decision was made to hit the city for a first day of exploration. Last stop on the train and first stop for us was Penn Station, which sits right below one of the cities main sights and obvious ironies Maddison Square Garden, which is neither a garden nor square. Stepping off the curb up 7th avenue and we get a straight shot at what once was the tallest building in the world and a New York icon of the Empire State ...

Dr. Brian D. Haas's Ratings
After living most of my life in glasses and being told I would have to live my whole life with glasses, and could not even wear contacts, Dr. Haas has given me a better life than I even had as a child. The cataract surgery and lens implants has opened up a whole new world for me. Dr Haas and his staff are very caring and helpful in every way. My husband had the same surgery and implants several years ago. He kept telling me how wonderful it was. I had no clue until I went to see Dr. Haas. I want to thank him and his staff for giving me a new life.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Brian Haas and his staff. When you walk through those doors at Boutique Eye Orlando, you enter the world of kindness, unselfishness, thoughtfulness and good-natured people. These folks are unparalleled. Dr. Haas wouldn't have it any other way. Dr. Haas listens to your problems, understands your needs and is very compassionate. I will tell you right off that this is not the least expensive place in town, Only the best! When it comes to your site you only have one pair of eyes and you want only the best.
I have worn glasses for over 40 years and today I have 20/20 in my right eye and 20/25 in my left eye. AWESOME!!!! It's people like this that make such a wonderful world.
Thank you Dr. Haas.

Dr. Haas and his staff saw me immediately after being referred to them by my dermatologist with a suspicious lower eyelid growth. A biopsy by Dr. Haas found this growth to be a basal cell carcinoma, which he surgically removed, a few days later. Every aspect of my interaction with Dr. Haas and his staff has been excellent! I will gladly recommend Dr. Haas to other patients.

Please research this doctor, ask questions, request patients pictures to see the results when having surgery and if the law and the other patients allow it, contact the patients and discuss their procedures before you commit to any surgery. Request a complete disclosure with drawings and pictures when having a surgery. Try to get permission to bring a family member to the operating room.

I am very happy with the results of my lower Blephoplasty. I had a lot of pain in my left eye before surgery and now I have none. The results look amazing. If I had to have another eye procedure, I would only go to Dr. Brian Haas.

I finally had enough of not being able to see. I wasn't able to read a menu, street sign or ingredients on food labels. The car lights at night were blinding globes preventing my driving after dark. My quality of life was being extinguished. I went to Dr. Haas because I was concerned how quickly my eyesight had deteriorated. The issue turned out to be cataracts and I wanted them removed. Dr. Haas, Anne, Miguel and Jaret were extremely helpful in making me feel comfortable and confident I had picked the right place for my surgery. I highly recommend the services of Dr. Haas to my friends, family or anyone looking for quality care. My theme song is "I Can See Clearly Now" and I could not be happier with the results. Thank you Dr. Haas!

Can I use regular fish meds on my betta?
I've seen betta meds before, but need to run out on my lunch hour from work & grab something for my work betta. He's not doing well, and I may not be able to find the betta meds. Will regular meds do? I was thinking they'd work fine, but not sure if I need to use less than would on other fish? Or is it the same dosage?
My betta's in a 2 gallon undergravel filter, and he's almost 2 yrs old. He doesn't seem to eat anymore, and lays on his side on the gravel on the bottom. I've tried BettaZing, and it's done nothing in the past. Water changes, etc.. I just don't know if he's old & can't save him, but I want to at least try with some meds. His stomach area (?) seems to look a little bloated, but sorry, I don't have peas here at work. :/ He won't eat the pellets anymore either. I noticed that on one of his eyes, it looks like there's either a clear covering over it, or the eye is swollen. Can I just pick up regular fish meds to try & treat this for him?
Betta's are not one of those fish that have a long life span. Two years is a little shorter than I would expect but they do not live as long as other fish. If you did use a different fish med mix it in a container large enough to dilute it to the correct dose and then add it to the betta bowl.

Man Shocked To Find Out Power Line Rappelling Is Dangerous 5

The linked article has no pictures and the one posted here looks like a higher voltage line than is mentioned in the story to me.
Touching one of the wires shouldn't be a problem -- birds do it all the time. Touching two of the wires, or getting between one of the wires and a path to ground IS a big problem.
The line he was using to rappel probably wasn't sufficiently insulating to avoid being a conductor to ground. Especially after he handled it with his sweaty body.
Also, the field strength (volts/inch) is significantly higher near the tower than on the span (because the tower brings ground up near the wires, reducing their effective
