This week, I went to Wendy's to try their new natural-cut fries thanks to Wendy's & Foodbuzz. They provided me with a gift card for the visit and Larry and I decided to check them out.
Foodbuzz is a pretty fun site - they have thousands of food bloggers across the country that share their recipes and photos with all of us. I really enjoy checking out new recipes and have found some truly amazing stuff (yes - I'm talking about the chocolate bread pudding cupcakes from @saltandchocolat).
But back to Wendys...
They say they're using sea salt now - and I don't mean to be a detective here - but couldn't help notice the big box of salt they used at my area Wendy's. It doesn't mention anything on their site about being "sea salt" - so you decide.
Most importantly - how were they?
Well - I judge all fries against McDonalds. I can't help it - they're the best. These were not as good as McD's but better than their old fries. The main difference is that they were thinner. I actually have had them on 2 occasions and the second time they were a bit overdone and too crispy for my taste.
The salt - well - as I read somewhere else - when I think of sea salt - I think of the crunchy bigger pieces that I get when I use the sea salt grinder I have at my house. This wasn't that - it was fine salt and I couldn't tell a lick of difference between that and table salt.
Really - I think if they were going to make a change - it should have been a drastic one - to something like a Penn Station fry - (peanut oil & real potatoes cut on site). This was a pretty minor change - I would bet half the people wouldn't know they were different if they hadn't been told.
Who knew I could analyze fast food french fries so in-depth? I would say overall - not as good as McD but still better than Burger King - those things are awful!
I also had a chicken club - which I have to say - was pretty good for a fast food sandwich. I'm typically a burger gal but just was in the mood for chicken. It has veggies, bacon and swiss cheese.
Why Should You Go? Well - if you're thinking of going just to try the new fries - I don't know if I would make the trip - but they do have coupons right now so they're free.All in all though - I do like Wendys - especially the chili!

Dieting alone is ineffective for most overweight adults, and even those who successfully lose weight often gain it back soon afterward. The snacking impulse is a common source of weight-loss sabotage.
Scientists have discovered that the inability to lose weight often stems from the powerful effects of emotional stress and depression on the brain. This chemically triggers strong cravings for comfort foods and snacks. If this is your problem, you may be suffering from an abnormal increased appetite for consumption of food known as reactional hyperphagia. Simply put, emotional stress causes brain-chemical and hormonal changes that decrease feelings of satiety (fullness) and promote—and "reward"—the compulsion to snack, especially on comfort foods.
In this article, you will learn how a saffron extract targets appetite dysregulation at the neurotransmitter level, inhibiting the compulsion-reward cycle and reducing the snacking impulse.
In one small 4-week study, a decrease in between-meal snacking was reported by women taking a proprietary extract of saffron!1 And in another human study using the same extract, the overall number of snacking episodes was reduced within 8 weeks—by 55%!2
The restrictions of dieting often generate stress, anxiety, and depression. In some people, the resultant changes in neurotransmitters and hormones create an overwhelming impulse to seek out what scientists call "highly palatable," or comfort, foods.3-12
Surrendering to this impulse then triggers brain activity associated with reward, which temporarily alleviates stress, anxiety, and depression. This off-diet eating may result in weight gain, guilt, and renewed dieting—all stressors that perpetuate the cycle.3-10,13
If this sounds like your dieting pattern, your brain and hormones may be sabotaging your weight-loss attempts, and leaving you with undeserved guilt and frustration.
You may have stress-induced reactional hyperphagia, which is defined as the abnormal increased appetite for consumption of food.8,13,14
Many people who are not dieting still experience emotional stress from other sources and experience the same compulsive-addictive form of emotion-based overeating. This "stress-snacking" feedback cycle can eventually lead to weight gain and more stress. It is no coincidence that high obesity rates have become an escalating health concern during this era of chronically high stress levels.3-14
To maintain a healthy weight comfortably, it is important to interrupt and block this sabotaging hyperphagic cycle.
The good news is that scientists have developed a botanical formulation that helps break this pattern.
Saffron is a spice that is constituted from the red stigmas of Crocus sativus L. In randomized, placebo-controlled research on humans, a standardized and proprietary extract of saffron reduced the desire to snack, diminished the craving for comfort foods, produced satiety, and facilitated weight loss—without any stimulant effect, side effect risk, or unrealistic level of continuous willpower.
The 'Feed-Feedback' Cycle
Many weight-loss drugs that are meant to reduce appetite are dangerous. For example, phenylpropanolamine is associated with hemorrhagic stroke.17
However, a particular extract of saffron appears to be unique in its ability to target the neurochemical pathways underlying the craving for comfort foods and the compulsion to eat between meals (reactional hyperphagia).
Growing research has been shedding light on these pathways of compulsive snacking, and how they set up a feed-feedback cycle that is essentially stress, stress-relief, stress, stress-relief, and so on.
Early research showed that the food restrictions of weight-loss diets are major sources of stress and anxiety. Some people respond to this greater stress by developing cravings for specific (comfort) foods associated with stress relief, making them more susceptible to obesity than others.3-6
In 2004, a rodent study demonstrated that during chronic stress, glucocorticoids—hormones that are generated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and that predominantly affect metabolism—often stimulate activities in the brain that induce a preference for comfort food. Rats under stress consumed no more calories than the placebo group, but showed a distinct desire for getting a greater proportion of their calories from comfort food. Ingestion of comfort food diminished the signs of stress, creating a reward feedback—completing the feed-feedback cycle.7
A study in 2007 reviewed earlier research on both animals and humans, and proposed a theory termed Reward Based Stress Eating. Evidence indicated that during stress, cortisol (a glucocorticoid), together with the body's reward circuitry, causes dysregulation of the finely tuned balance of appetite control. Cravings increase stress, which triggers an increase in the reward value of highly palatable (comfort) food. The result is an increased intake of high-calorie snack food, and a greater accumulation of visceral fat.8
Then, in 2009, researchers found that—in response to glucocorticoid-induced increases in comfort food intake—circulating insulin levels rise. These increases, as well as greater deposition of abdominal fat, are directly and specifically linked to higher consumption of comfort-foods—rather than to higher consumption of calories from any source. These insulin effects appeared to dampen the response to stress, thus providing reward feedback (stress relief) for eating comfort foods.9
In a landmark study published in 2010, researchers found that the dysregulated brain reward pathways that trigger drug and alcohol addiction are identical to the biomolecular mechanisms behind comfort-food cravings.10
In a 2011 study, scientists discussed the circular relationship between hyperphagia (increased appetite), comfort food intake, and obesity. They suggested that in some individuals, the presence of this feed-feedback cycle at an early age may lead directly to obesity later in life. They further suggested that obesity itself may increase signaling along inflammatory, oxidative, and mitochondrial stress pathways—altering normal reward functions and promoting compulsive snacking.18
On the heels of these findings, and with obesity at epidemic levels, scientists searched in earnest for a way to safely break the feed-feedback cycle.
Targeting the Biochemistry of Appetite
In the quest for a novel intervention to block reactional hyperphagia and the cycle of compulsive snacking, attention quickly turned to the active components in saffron—and for a number of good reasons.
First, now that dieting and stress had been found to increase the reward value of comfort food for many people,8 it was natural to examine agents believed to modulate stress in order to identify those that might beneficially affect the appetite and snacking impulse. In ancient medical systems, saffron has traditionally been used to reduce anxiety, relieve stress, and enhance mood.19
Second, no effective FDA-approved drug is available that can regulate the neurochemistry of appetite without substantially dangerous side effects,20 which have been found to include pulmonary hypertension and heart valve disease.21 Scientists realized that—if verified to be effective in inhibiting the snacking compulsion in placebo-controlled studies on humans— saffron would constitute a safe and natural alternative.
Third, neurotransmitter imbalance, particularly low levels of serotonin, has been shown to increase vulnerability to overeating, food cravings, and depression.22 A number of journal-published studies had shown that safranal and crocin, active constituents of saffron, have demonstrated effects comparable to prescription medications in mitigating the symptoms of depression.23-25 One of the most commonly prescribed group of anti-depressant medications are the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), which are well known to produce a number of adverse side effects, including sedation, weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and suicidal thoughts.26-28 This improved serotonin-enhancing activity suggested that saffron may be a safe and potent weapon to break the feed-feedback cycle and inhibit reactional hyperphagia—for several reasons:
In subsequent animal and human studies, saffron extracts proved highly effective in safely managing depression and anxiety32-35—the same emotional disorders that trigger reactional hyperphagia.
However, this constituted only an indirect link between saffron and modulation of the snacking compulsion. Scientists still needed to prove that saffron's powerful ability to modulate stress would in turn translate into a significant reduction in hyperphagic snacking, both in terms of desire and behavior.
For the gold standard in scientific proof, this would demand investigating the effects of saffron extract—specifically on snacking desire and frequency—by conducting randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind studies on humans.
Inhibiting the Snacking Impulse in Humans
To corroborate that a proprietary extract of saffron targets the neurochemistry at the root of compulsive eating, scientists first conducted a small placebo-controlled, double-blind pilot study on a small group of 16 women. Half of the women were given the proprietary saffron (Crocus sativus) daily for extract for 4 weeks, while the other half took placebo.
Remarkably, all of the women taking the saffron extract decreased their between-meal snacking, while women taking the placebo experienced no improvement! Equally noteworthy, the women in the saffron group reported decreased feelings of hunger at lunch and dinner. There was an average weight loss, largely in the form of fat from the thighs, of 3.63 pounds.1
Following these findings, scientists launched a full-scale, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, enlisting 60 mildly overweight, female volunteers ranging in age from 25 to 45. This time, however, at least half of the women selected suffered from compulsive between-meal snacking behavior, although participants were not assessed specifically for their level of anxiety or stress. Women were excluded if they had any history of cancer, diabetes, gastric surgery, pathological eating disorders (such as anorexia and bulimia nervosa), abnormal liver or kidney function or were currently using any medications (such as antidepressants) or supplements that might interfere with the results.
As before, half of the subjects were given daily doses of 176.5 mg of patented saffron extract—but this time, for a full 8 weeks—while the others took an identical-looking placebo. All subjects were instructed to otherwise maintain their normal dietary and lifestyle habits, and all between-meal food consumption was recorded.
The saffron extract significantly reduced the frequency of snacking events to a degree that the journal-published study described as "most striking." At the beginning of the study, both groups indulged in an average of 12 between-meal snacks per week. After 8 weeks, the number of snacking events for the placebo group fell somewhat to 8.9 per week, a decrease of 28%. By comparison, between-meal snacks for the saffron group decreased to just 5.8 per week, a snacking decrease, over 8 weeks—of 55%!2
The reduction in snacking events among the saffron-extract group paralleled an increase in satiety sensation. These women reported significantly reduced feelings of hunger before meals, and a reduced feeling of the "need" to snack between meals. These saffron subjects experienced significantly greater feelings of alertness and energy.
The key objective of the study was to assess the effect of saffron extract on the frequency of snacking, and because the volunteers were only mildly overweight, substantial weight loss was not expected. Still, the increased satiety and 55% decreased snacking had an effect on weight. The saffron group experienced an average weight loss of over 2 pounds during this 8-week period of eating normally!2
While no conclusions could be reached regarding the mechanism of action for saffron extract, the study team did note that new saffron research data suggests that the benefits could be related to saffron's impact on mild-moderate anxiety.2 This finding was upheld in the current study when during the administration of a global health survey at the end of supplementation, those in the saffron group reported feeling significantly more alert and energetic than those in the placebo group. This same trend continued on follow up several weeks after completion of supplementation.2 This modest weight loss shows why more than just reduced calorie consumption is needed to produce meaningful fat loss. Taking standardized green coffeeberry extract before each meal resulted in 17.6 pounds of weight loss in a study published in 2012.36
Broader Benefits
In addition to its ability to target the biochemical root of compulsive snacking, saffron has been shown to exert a wide range of other protective health effects. The mechanisms behind these broader benefits are not yet clear, but they may stem from the ability of saffron's constituents to modulate the HPA axis, as well as serotonin and other neurotransmitters.
Cancer is a growing health concern worldwide, causing more than 7.5 million deaths each year.37 Botanical extracts have been one of the main sources for development of chemopreventive agents.38 Recent scientific evidence, both in vitro and in vivo, has suggested that saffron extract and its main active constituents, can help inhibit carcinogenesis and tumorigenesis.39-42 Rodent studies demonstrate that saffron can reduce the side effects of the anticancer drug Cisplatin® (cisplatinum).43,44 These findings have prompted extensive current research on saffron and its components, including safranal and crocin, as promising chemopreventive agents.
The mechanism for saffron's anticancer potential is not known but may be related to its demonstrated high free-radical scavenging activity.45-47
Saffron is thought to have some action in supporting the serotonergic system in the brain and is well supported through research as a natural anti-anxiety and antidepressant agent that does not include the side effects of pharmaceutical options.32-35,48 In fact, this same potential serotonin effect is believed to be largely behind its ability to inhibit comfort food impulses, compulsive snacking, and sugar cravings, as well as to promote weight loss.1,2,49
Another benefit, research has suggested, is the potential of saffron to slow the progress of the eye conditions, macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa.50-52
In traditional and folk medicine, saffron is used for many medical benefits, including as a remedy for pain (an analgesic), poor digestion, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, respiratory diseases, and Alzheimer's disease.53
Scientists have discovered that there is a stress-induced mechanism behind the comfort-food cravings and compulsive snacking that sabotage many weight-loss programs.
Unbalanced hormones and neurotransmitters disrupt the normal brain reward pathways. The result is an induced feed-feedback cycle, known as reactional hyperphagia, which causes food cravings.
A study recently found this cycle to be all but identical to the mechanism underlying drug addiction.10
A proprietary extract of saffron (Crocus sativus) uniquely targets this appetite dysregulation at the neurotransmitter level, inhibiting the snacking compulsion.
Placebo-controlled studies found that a daily dose of 176.5 mg of a proprietary saffron extract decreased the average number of snacking incidents by 55% and decreased between-meal snacking—for all of the women taking saffron!1,2

Restless feet and the long jump
[We are in Christchurch and I'm finally catching up on the blog]
After spending 5 weeks in Morocco we decided on a change of scenery. Even Essaouira was beginning to drop below 20 degrees centigrade. So we started looking for a new place to go.
This summer in Calgary I met Stephen, a Canadian living in Hong Kong. He invited Carol and I to visit him and even offered us a place to stay. Checking the weather forecast in Hong Kong sealed the deal and we booked our flight.
This kicked off a three day travel blitz.
It took a day to travel from Essaouira to Casablanca where the major airlines land. We arrived late and spend a long time sitting in traffic. Our hotel was next to the train station so the next day we took a train to the airport. The airport was not very busy and we boarded our Emirates flight to Dubai.
We were a bit concerned flying through Dubai as a Canadian couple had recently been stopped and jailed for a month while the UAE authorities tested their migraine medication to ensure it wasn't contraband. We cleaned out our first aid kit of anything with an ambiguous label. Some head ache medication contains codeine which will get you a minimum four year sentence. We considered ditching our one month supply of anti-malarial tablets but they were well packed, labelled and we had a clear prescription.
The flight was easy and the cabin well appointed. The meals were better than the usual airline fare. The back of seat entertainment was excellent. You can watch dozens of movies, TV and hundreds of songs. There is also a nose camera so you can get a pilot's eye view of the flight.
The Dubai airport transit lounge is like a large high end shopping mall complete with restaurants, shops and a hotel. We rented a room for 6 hours and slept like the dead. The room was excellent but we hardly noticed. The next morning we caught the flight to Hong Kong. All told we spent 36 hours in transit (not including getting to Casablanca) and crossed 8 timezones.


text: This thread is being started as a place to have conversations and discussions about the what is it? Thread without taking the thread itself off topic. If you have any problems,questions or comments about What is it?,pleas ask here. Here are the rules for the thread to familiarize those new to the game with the proper procedures. The idea here is for people to identify an object or objects based on photos and clues supplied by the challenger. 1):The photos can be of almost anything,but should be taken by the person posting the challenge,if possible. 2):No photos found on the Internet or elsewhere are allowed unless proper credit is given. 3):You can use any resources you choose,online or not,to discover the answer,but no cutting and pasting or copying from online resources such as Wikipedia is allowed. 4):You are free,however,to use online sources as the basis for writing your own description of the answer. 5):The photographs do not have to be of an entire object.You can supply a photo of part of an object if you like. 6);Photos should be sharply focused. 6a):Challengers posting blurred photos will be given one hour to post sharply focused photos or the challenge will be declared void and opened to the first person to post a new challenge. 6b):This is being done in the interest of making the challenge fair to members trying to solve the challenge.It's very hard to identify a blurred object. 7):The purpose of the game is to identify the object in the challenge,with as much extra detail as required by the challenger. 8]:The first person to correctly solve the current challenge gets to post the next challenge. 8a):If the challenge requires answering several questions about the subject of the challenge and no one person answers all the required questions,the person supplying the answer to the last remaining unanswered question will be declared the winner of the challenge and gains the right to post the next challenge. 9):If you are informed that you are the winner of the current challenge,but do not post the next challenge within 2 hours of being notified of your win,the challenge is deemed to be open and the first person to notice may post a challenge. 10):INACTIVITY CLAUSE;The poster of a challenge is required to monitor their challenge.If the challenger does not respond to questions and/or is offline for a period exceeding two hours,the challenge is deemed to be voided and the first person to notice may post a new challenge. 11):If you have posted a challenge and are unable to continue monitoring your challenge,you may PM the answer to one of these members who will monitor it on your behalf. AdmiralAdama,scifan57,fleur07.Make sure to check if they're online first,and wait for their answer. 11a):You can also Post the answer and open the challenge if you can't find a member to monitor the challenge for you.

Gary Johnson & Jim Gray
President and Vice President 2012
Judge Jim Gray at the Libertarian National Convention asking the delegates for the Vice President Nomination.
Two-term governor, Gary Johnson says the majority of Americans feel differently about war, marriage equality, drugs, the Patriot Act and the Federal Reserve than our elected officials do. If we the people can agree on the kind of America we want, why do we keep electing leaders who don't agree with us? When it comes to wanting more freedom, more peace and more prosperity, Gary Johnson agrees with you 100%
BETWEEN THEM (Democrats and Republicans)
AND US (Libertarians)
Govt. overspending/No Budget
Balanced Budget submitted to Cong.
Major Unemployment
Repeal of Income Tax Generates Jobs
Perpetual Military Conflicts
Military used only for our Defense
Schools failing our Children
Competition brings School Excellence
Enforce Patriot Act
Repeal this Direct Attack on Liberty
Perpetuate Death Penalty
The Death Penalty Doesn't Work
Perpetuate War on Marijuana
Regulate and Tax Marijuana
Perpetual Political Bickering
Working as a Team for Results
900 Foreign Military Bases
Close Unneeded Foreign Bases
Could have fixed Immigration years ago
Issue Work Visas after background ck.
Continue Foreign Aid
Support Infrastructure at Home
Citizens Held Without Trial
No One Held without a Trial
Big Elections Contributions
People's campaign, No Strings
One of the most positive features of Governor Gary Johnson and Judge Jim Gray is that they are not Republicans or Democrats, so people will be brought into their Administration based upon merit, not politics. Similarly, issues will also be addressed and resolved based upon merit, without caring about who gets the credit. So if you are content with how our great country has been "led" by the Republicans and Democrats for the last 12 years, then vote for one of them. But if you are not, your only viable choice is for Johnson/Gray. In fact, this will be one of those times in which you will look back and be proud you voted for Governor Gary Johnson and Judge Jim Gray, or truly wish you had done so when you had the chance.
Jim Gray speaks on the issues.
About presidential candidate Gary Johnson:
Gary Johnson, two-term governor of New Mexico from 1995-2003, has been a consistent advocate for limited, efficient government and personal liberty. Johnson switched from the Republican Party to the Libertarian Party on Dec. 28, 2011. As the Libertarian Party nominee, Johnson will appear on all 50 states' ballots. An outspoken pro-Constitution Libertarian, Johnson would end the war in Afghanistan now. He opposes the failed multi-billion dollar war on drugs and demands greater transparency at the Federal Reserve. As president, Johnson would cut federal spending by 43 percent, slash debt and make government live within its means while reducing taxes and regulation to foster real job creation and economic opportunity like he did in eight years as governor. The National Review said he was "#1" in job creation as governor. An avid skier and bicyclist, he has reached the highest peaks on four of the seven continents, including Mount Everest.
Gov. Gary Johnson and Judge Jim Gray Speak at PAUL Fest:
Gary Johnson, Be Libertarian With Me:
Two-term Governor, Gary Johnson, says both parties are indistinguishable from one another. Both are keeping America broke. Both are keeping America at war. Both have trampled on the Constitution. And both are stooges to the same big money players that never change behind the scenes. It's time to put our differences and our parties aside and come together as a nation for the good of all. We The People are ready to LIVE FREE.

Judge Jim Gray Endorses:
Governor Gary Johnson 2012:
Gary Johnson has been an outspoken advocate for efficient government, balanced budgets, rational drug policy reform, protection of civil liberties, comprehensive tax reform, and personal freedom. As Governor of New Mexico, Johnson was known for his common sense business approach to governing. He eliminated New Mexico's budget deficit, cut the rate of growth in state government in half, and privatized half of the state prisons.
Read more on Governor Gary Johnson.
Libertarian presidential candidate and former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson has picked California Judge Jim Gray, a prominent pro-marijuana legalization advocate, to be his running mate.
Jim Gray's Bio:
James P. Gray has been a trial judge in Orange County, California since 1983. Before becoming a judge, he served as a Volunteer in the Peace Corps in Costa Rica, a staff judge advocate and criminal defense attorney in the Navy JAG Corps, a federal prosecutor in Los Angeles, and a civil litigation attorney in a private law firm, in addition to being a Republican candidate for US Congress in 1998, and a Libertarian candidate for US Senate in 2004. Judge Gray has discussed issues of drug policy on more than two hundred television and radio shows and public forums all across the country. Using his experience on the bench and elsewhere, he has also authored a book on the failed War on Drugs, another Wearing The Robe, about practical and ethical issues in being a judge, and has composed a musical that encourages young people to expand their horizons and live a fuller life. Read more about Judge Jim Gray.
When it comes to our failings, pick a card.
A big problem is that our political system so strongly encourages short-term, special-interest thinking, such that elected officials are not concerned about the future, they are only concerned about the next election. In addition, in this political environment, if elected officials take a public position about 10 issues, and the average voters agree with them on seven and are undecided about another two, but disagree with them on the last one, the voters often will crucify the officeholder on that final issue at the next election.

Judge Jim Gray, The Author
Wearing the Robe:
Wearing the Robe explores the day-to-day realities of being a judge, from faithfully applying the law in court to sharing knowledge outside the courthouse. In this book, Judge Jim Gray addresses a range of important topics, examining how judges can obtain and refine their skills, preside effectively over judicial calendars, healthfully manage the restrictions placed on their private lives, and much more. Throughout, personal insights and practical tips add to a firm foundation of knowledge. Whether you currently fill a judicial position, are considering the pursuit of one, or simply want to learn more about what judges actually do, Wearing the Robe provides a unique look at the art and responsibilities of being a judge in today's courts. Click here for: Wearing The Robe.
Why Our Drug Laws Have Failed:
What is one thing that Walter Cronkite, Dr. Milton Friedman, Secretary of State George Shultz, New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, and syndicated columnist Arianna Huffington all have in common? Each one of them has endorsed Judge Gray's book on the failure of the War on Drugs. Problems with increased crime, adult and juvenile violence, medical problems, terrorism all around the world, decreased civil liberties, and the misspending of hundreds of billions of dollars annually are clearly shown in the first part of this book as being traced to this failed policy. But there is a better way, and the second part of the book shows in detail how other policies and programs are actually working in these areas. Click here for: Why Our Drug Laws Have Failed.

The Resolution:
On February 26, 1993 a group of concerned citizens met at the Hoover Institution on the campus of Stanford University and unanimously passed a resolution which recommends that our country investigate the possibility of change in the way we handle our drug problems. The Resolution, which recommends that these medical and social problems be treated with medical and social solutions, is attached hereto. As you can see, it further recommends that one final Blue Ribbon Commission be immediately empowered by the President to recommend revisions of the drug laws of these United States to reduce the harm caused by these drug problems..

Great Spreech Judge Jim Gray Fairfield California June 6th 06 06
It's A Gray Area:
Are you tired of politics full of gossip, dirt and emotional issues that don't make any real difference? Judge Jim Gray has written a weekly informative column in the Daily Pilot Newspaper that actually discusses the real issues of our day -- as well as practical and workable solutions. Resolutions of the problems of crime; illegal immigration; traffic; the death penalty; welfare for the poor and the wealthy, separation of church and state; large, expensive and unproductive government; healthcare; excessive litigation, the failure of our national tax system, and many more thorny issues are honestly addressed and resolutions offered. There is even a column showing how we would be better off nationally if we were to convert to the Metric System! In short, this series of 52 news columns presents a citizen's handbook that every informed voter should read. Click here to read more: Judge Jim Gray's Blog.
Peer Court:
With Judge Jim Gray taking the lead, the Orange County Peer Court Program was designed and implemented by the Orange County Probation Department, Department of Education, Constitutional Rights Foundation, District Attorney's Office and Superior Court. This county-wide program adjudicates real juvenile cases in Orange County high schools before an actual judge with a jury of high school students. Teenage jurors make recommendations to the judge about what punishment -- short of jail or fines -- fits the offense of their contemporary after asking questions of the offender and his/her parents, who must agree to be present. (Check out The Peer Court Experience to see a video/article. You can also click here http://education.occourts.org for more information.)
The major goals of the program are diversion, catching youths before they sink deeper into a criminal lifestyle, and focusing upon ethical behavior. Another is to educate our teens about the court system and dissuade all of those present from committing similar offenses. This program has proved to be so popular and effective the Department of Education has incorporated it into high school curricula throughout the county. As a direct result, high school students are more aware and accountable for their own ethical and social behavior, and Judge Gray has been recognized with a number of commendations and awards for his innovative program.

Drinking Driver Sentencing Program:
In 1984, Judge Jim Gray formed the first "drug court" in Orange County and probably the country designed to deal with first time problem drinking and driving offenders. The offenders were sentenced to a program that strictly enforced their total abstention from alcohol. As a result, a drinking driver was replaced by a sober one. The program was recognized as one of the most effective of its kind, and Judge Gray was lauded by civic groups and law enforcement officials for his leadership in its establishment and implementation.

The William P. Gray Chapter
Of The American Inns Of Court:
In 1989 Judge James Gray was instrumental in forming an Orange County chapter of the American Inns of Court in conjunction with the USC Law School. This national group's function is to emphasize ethics, collegiality and education in the legal profession. Jim Gray, who served as president for its first six years, was honored by the group's board of directors when it named its chapter after Gray's father, a long-time federal judge in Los Angeles.
Bigger Than Life - Judge Jim Gray:
It is a genuine privilege to be able to write an article for a journal like the Orange County Lawyer about my father Judge William P. Gray: distinguished jurist, attorney, civic leader, mentor, teacher, friend, golf partner, pianist, grandfather of five, father of two, and husband of one for more than 50 years - Bill Gray was many things to many people, and in many ways, he was bigger than life itself. To read the full article, click here - Bigger Than Life - by Judge Jim Gray.
Judge Jim Gray supports Assemblyman Tom Ammiano's proposed AB 390.
The objections that the opponents of this forward-thinking bill generally cite are, first, that marijuana causes harm to the user and to society, and second, that the bill would "send the wrong message to our children." But the reality of the situation is that, first, marijuana is already abundant in California, and the rest of the country as well, so whatever harm it would cause is basically already upon us, and that, second, society would no more be encouraging or condoning children or anyone else to use marijuana by instituting these changes than it now encourages or condones anyone to drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes.

I took a lot of time deciding how I should write this post, and I deliberated about if I really even wanted to. Both Dan and I have told the story a number of times, and although I know each time the complete story rings true, it still concerns me that the full issue is sometimes lost in the dramatics of the situation.
My intent is to write this as a chronicle of my own experience and feelings on the issue. I will refrain from listing names (the exceptions being Dan and the dogs, Cooper and Molly, etc.)- if you are resourceful enough, and curious enough, then that information is readily available through local authorities and media. My choice to write this on my own blog, rather than as a letter to the editor, or whatever, is this- it's bound to be a really, really stinkin' long version of the story (you know, the kind I'm best at), it's guaranteed to be full of opinion (which you know I have plenty of), and (sorry mom) it's pretty much a guarantee that I'll swear at least a little bit (and newspapers don't take kindly to cuss words.)
**Mid-post writing amendment** There is no way this whole thing will make it into one post. I'll break this up into multiple posts, for my sanity and yours.
I will also note here, and at the end, that I hope this story moves you. Should it move you along the same lines and convictions as me? I'd hope so, that'd be great. Are there some bound to disagree? Certainly- that's their right. However, I pay real-world monies for this here little corner of the interwebs, and therefore I am granted the gift of comment mediation. I have no plans to go all FCC censor crazy, but if you feel like being an asshat then you may go do it elsewhere. Comments (directed at me, at others involved in the incident, or at fellow commenters), that are vicious, malicious, inappropriate, or generally deemed by me to be unfriendly will not be approved. Also, anonymous comments will not be permitted. If you've got somethin' to say, be a big kid and own up to it. Okee doke?
Good. Let's get to the story.
Ahem. This feels strange to type.
Sunday, July 15th. Come home from long day at the
Finger Lakes Drunkfest (ahem) the Finger Lakes Wine Festival at Watkins Glen International. Our plan is to pile the puppies into the back of the jeep and head up the road to get a bite to eat on a deck, where we can sit and look at a lake and tease the doggies with tasty treats. The first step, as any good dog owner knows, is to get said canines to potty before putting them in a vehicle, because vehicle rides excite dogs to no end, which makes for messy vehicles… and…
I'm realizing I can't tell this story with a certain silliness I've demonstrated with other stories in the past… so please excuse me while I stick to the bare-bones for this part. Again, note that there may be some details missing that you might be expecting to hear- this is solely what I experienced.
Dan takes both dogs out back, I stay inside. I hear him yell "Cooper, no!", which is a common phrase in our house, so I don't think much of it- until I hear it repeatedly and realize something is not right. As I come out the back gated area into the lawn I see Dan one house away to my left, in the street, on top of Cooper; I run in that direction. There is a woman standing next to them and screaming, because Cooper has her beagle by the back of the neck. Molly has just arrived at the scene and is curious- she is sticking her nose in and shuffling around (as a 12 year old doggies with arthritis will do) to get a better look.
I grab Molly by the collar to pull her out of the way- Dan is basically laying on top Cooper, trying to get his mouth open, and the woman continues to yell for help. I try pulling on Coopers tail and pounding on his backside, yelling at him to let go. I realize at the same time as Dan suggests it- it would be better to get Molly back to the house and out of the way, then I can come back and help.
I secure Molly inside the gated area behind the house and return to the street to see that a car is now parked in the road, and a stranger is involved in the situation. Getting closer, I realize the stranger-man is pounding on top of Coopers' head with what looks like his fist- my assumption is that he is simply trying to help get Cooper to release. I'm there barely a moment when the man steps back and drops his arm to the side, at which point I realize he has a something in his hand… and my stomach nearly turns inside out when I recognize it as a gun.
I will interject here, briefly (because it's my damn story and my damn blog). I've been to a shooting range, once, by my own choice. I've never been enamored by guns, but I was eager to have the opportunity to learn the basics of shooting, and develop a (general) comfort in the presence of a gun. This situation, however, is the only interaction I've had with a gun "in real life"… and god damn, that first sight of the gun in his hand not only shocked the shit out of me- it definitely scared me. A lot.
Returning to the incident, all my attention is focused on Dan, Cooper, and the man with the gun- the shrieking woman has become background noise. The man with the gun says to Dan, "I'm gonna shoot the dog", to which Dan replies, "I'm sitting on him." This exchange happens again, with Dan emphasizing even more, "I'm SITTING.ON.THE.DOG."
It was instantaneous- Dan shifts barely… and the guy leans in and fires the gun. I blinked or turned my head or something- the bullet-firing part of that scene is missing from my brain, but the immediately pre-and-post gunfire images are there. With no other actions to try and free the beagle's neck from Cooper's bite, aside from beating on Coop's head (with the butt of the gun, I realized after the fact), this stranger fired a gun, barely 2 feet in front of Dan's face, into the top of Coopers skull.
Now, he- the crazy shooter guy- turns to me and starts shouting. This is a blur. I'm in shock, I'm appalled, and I'm freaked the fuck out- but this demented man is now yelling at me about "…you people and your big dogs…", and "…the police will be here soon…", and a bunch of other hooey that is melded into a muddled shouting fog in my head, and I'm yelling back at him to GO HOME. My brain is railing with thoughts of JUST LET THE DOG DIE IN PEACE FUCKER, YOU DID WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO, STOP YELLING AT ME, GET IN YOUR CAR AND DRIVE THE 3 HOUSES BACK DOWN THE STREET TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM YOU FUCKHEAD, YOU SHOT OUR DOG… but all I can really yell at him is "JUST GO HOME!!!" And so he does. He gets into his car, and pulls away.
I don't notice until I revisit the entire incident in my head later that at this point I've lost track of the woman and the beagle- they are no longer present.
I look at Dan, he's still on top of Cooper, who now has a bloody hole in his head, and I'm shocked. I don't know what to do, I expected Coop to be dead instantly, and the fact that he is not is more than I can deal with. I come back to the house and sit with Molly for a minute. Eventually I pull myself together and head back out, fully expecting to find Dan sitting with his dead dog.
Instead, I see that Coop is still laying there, looking around, and Dan is still on top of him, talking to him and soothing him. Our neighbor is now outside, explaining that the police have been called… I feel awkward, like we're just standing around waiting for Cooper to die. I call the vet, knowing I'll get the emergency service since it's now 8pm on a Sunday night, but it's the only action I can take, waiting for what clearly seems to be the inevitable.
An amazing amount of almost silent time passes, pacing back and forth, watching Cooper lay on the ground under Dan, and finally the sheriff arrives- only to say exactly what we've all been thinking… "Is that the dog that was shot in the head? What are you still doing here?? Did you call the vet? You need to go. I can't believe you waited. Get the dog up there."
I pull Dan's Jeep around, and to our shock and amazement Cooper gets up- wobbily, but on his own feet- and jumps into the back of the Jeep. All secured in, we head on up to the vet's. For the entire ride Dan and I are amazed to see that Coop, despite being unstable and not as boisterous as he normally would be on the road, is attempting to hang his head out the back of the jeep and enjoy being out for a car ride.
Arriving at the vet, Cooper jumps out of the jeep and walks into the clinic, prompting the vet to ask if he was actually the dog with the gunshot wound to the head. She shares our astonishment in the fact that he's walking and aware and… well… not dead. Her first step is to wrap his head in a bandage, and then take x-rays. As she takes us in to see the photos, we are unable to contain our laughter. We explain the joke to the vet- we've always known Cooper to have a thick skull… but this…
The bullet entered and fractured his skull, but changed direction and went down the back of his neck. It was a hollow point bullet, which split into 3 different pieces and lodged along his spine, but not dangerously close.
While the vet tends to Cooper, the sheriff investigator arrives and takes statements from both Dan and myself. It all seems pretty straightforward- until he mentions to us that the shooter made some disturbing remarks when he was questioned by police. (At this point, well after the fact, we've gotten 2 melded versions verbally from the sheriff, and the actual police report has more specific wording, but none-the-less, the overall intent and impression is the same.) We're told that the shooter has said something along the lines of how he's sick of these "…neo-nazi skinheads and their pit-bulls…" (the other version was "…bald tattooed gorillas and their big dogs…"- without a copy of the police report in front of me I can't give you the exact version, but you get the point).
Learning that the shooter has made clear (unfounded) hate-based remarks, and that he knows he's in trouble, and that we live in the same neighborhood, makes me question the sheriff about if it's actually safe to return home. I'm not excited to spend the night right up the road from him… but we leave Coop at the clinic to be tended to overnight, and make our way home to Molly who is still confused and worked up. (I will note that the vet was the most compassionate and caring person- when she learned that Cooper suffers from some rather significant separation anxiety, she went home and got a sleeping bag and slept at the clinic that night- something that was above and beyond what she was expected to do- and we greatly appreciate the connection she made with Cooper and her concern for him.)
And at this point, the evening of the incident draws to a close. Mind you, there were a number of beers consumed toot sweet upon our arrival home, and a bit of scavenging for food, as it was only at this point which we realized our dinner plans had been severely interrupted. But we tried (unsuccessfully) to get some rest and prepare for whatever the rest of this situation brought on…
Of course there's more to the story… we'll continue the drama details in the next post. But that night, we reflected on a lot of stuff when we got home… including: 1. The shooter could have (but chose not to) exhaust other options first, including (but not limited to!) shooting the gun in the air, or in the ground, or even in the dog's leg. The choice of going straight for the head speaks volumes to his intention-in my opinion, which is what the blogpost is all about- to simply kill the dog, and not necessarily get the dog to release. 2. He clearly didn't care about either dog, because he very well could have hit the beagle when he shot Cooper in the head. 3. He brought himself into a situation that he was previously uninvolved in- presumably to help. However, in truth (by display of his actions,) he came along and threatened 3 human lives that night. One, the woman walking the beagle, because while he was pounding on Coopers head with the butt of the gun, the barrel was pointing in her direction; Two, Dan, because when the gun was fired there were a multitude of scenarios that could have resulted in his injury or death (along with the other two humans present, or even the shooter); and Three, Me, because immediately after firing the gun into Coopers head, with adrenaline from the situation pumping through his veins, he turned to me and wanted to do nothing but argue and yell and shout and blame.
And with that, I leave more of the story for another time. Because, trust me, it doesn't end here (and, at the time I'm writing this, over a month and a half later, there's still a bunch of bullshit that's unfinished.)
I'll remind you again, like I promised earlier, that unkindness will not be tolerated in the comments section.

MILLBROOK, N.Y., Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Donald Fresne, President and CEO of Egenix, Inc., is pleased to announce the appointment of Rainer Fuchs, Ph.D. to its Board of Directors. Dr. Fuchs is a former V.P. of Biogen Idec and currently Chief Information Officer at Harvard Medical School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Dr. Fuchs will be a substantial asset to the company. Additionally, the Company has added the following scientist to complete its Drug Development Team: Bob Bishop, Ph.D., Jerry Shipps, Ph.D., Alan Cooper, Ph.D., and Arshad Siddiqui, Ph.D.
Egenix is a privately held, New York-based biotechnology company focused on the development of innovative cancer therapeutics. The company's therapeutic platform technology consists of small molecule drugs applicable for the treatment and prevention of a broad spectrum of cancers. Our lead drug candidates inhibit the "translation initiation factor" eIF4E, specifically blocking production of multiple cancer promoting proteins and promoting apoptosis (programmed cell death) and upregulation of tumor suppressor genes. The company licensed this technology from Harvard Medical School in 2007. eIF4E is an important cancer therapeutic target because every function necessary for cancer growth and metastasis is influenced or mediated by a gene product that is regulated by this translation initiation factor. Data from human cancer xenograft studies using two of our lead compounds tested against breast cancer and melanoma demonstrated 100% tumor inhibition and 20% to 30% tumor reduction.
