Fabrice Grinda, entrepreneur et business angel, était l'invité de Sabrina Quagliozzi, correspondante de BFM Business à New York. Il a livré les secrets et les clés de la réussite de ses investissements. – Tech & Co, du mercredi 15 mars 2017, présenté par Sébastien Couasnon, sur BFM Business.]]>
That is not to say that everything is perfect right now. Social mobility is stagnating and equality of opportunity has receded in many developed countries. We have not done a good job at helping those left behind by globalization and the technology revolution. We can and must do better. However, it's useful to express our gratitude for how lucky we are to be alive in these extraordinarily prosperous and peaceful times.
In the first half of the year I still suffered from the after effects of last year's severe concussion. However, I started exercising again in June and finally seem to be recovered and to have put my injuries behind me. I started playing tennis and padel again, and did tons of adventure travel.
Highlights were:
I gave a keynote at NOAH in London presenting the latest tech trends and our contrarian approach. I also gave keynotes at the Angel Capital Association in Philadelphia in May and Bits & Pretzels in Munich during Oktoberfest. We hosted a fun marketplace conference in Cabarete. We had an amazing startup idea generating brainstorm with the FJ Labs team in Cabarete. I was also named the top French business angel of 2016 and covered in Forbes France.
In a way, FJ Labs grew up in 2016. We got an office in New York near Madison Square Park. The team grew to 10 people. We deployed $52 million, more capital than in any of the prior years. We invested in 42 companies and made 24 follow-on investments. We had 14 exits, 5 successful exits, including Ticketbis and SkipTheDishes, and 9 failures.
I read 87 books, reasonably balanced between fiction and non-fiction. The best books I read were:
Hamilton remains a must-see on Broadway. The hip-hop musical is the best piece of theater I have ever seen. If you already saw it, watch Spamilton. It's both a parody and tribute to Hamilton and to Broadway in general. Les Liaisons Dangereuses with Liev Schreiber was also amazing.
The best movies I saw were:
My favorite new TV show was Westworld. I loved its nuanced presentation of AI and morality. The Americans and Game of Thrones continued to go from strength to strength.
My best blog posts of 2016 were:
My predictions for 2016 were by and large correct:
Sadly, I was completely off on my most important prediction of all, which was that construction would finally start on my ever delayed La Boca project in Cabarete. This frustration was only exceeded by my experience as a homeowner in New York, perpetually battling my building's board to renovate my terrace (which currently looks like a post-apocalyptic landscape). The offline world could certainly use a huge stint of deregulation.
While I had not made public election predictions, I was clearly wrong on my personal expectations. The populist uprising took me by surprise. We are living in the most prosperous and peaceful time in the history of humanity. As such, I was befuddled by votes that essentially rejected the very system that brought about this prosperity. However, I feel that I am starting to understand this popular anger. There is a subset of the population, especially blue collar workers, that has been the loser of both globalization and the technology revolution. Our education system let them down when first educating them. We then failed to retrain them and help with the disruption they faced. We must do better or risk false prophets leading us to our doom.
I am nothing if not an eternal optimist and as such my predictions for 2017 are as follows:
Happy New Year!]]>

Notebook: MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro 4K-021
Now that Apple has released its new generation of Macbook Pros and Microsoft its new Surface Book, I could make a more informed decision. The new Macbook Pros are disappointing. They are underpowered (especially the GPU) and overpriced. The only real innovation was the toolbar. I was hoping Apple would find a way to make the 15" notebook 3 pounds, perhaps by having an edge to edge OLED screen.
The Microsoft Surface Book is an amazing tablet and notebook computer and a great choice, but it did not quite fit my needs. It's powerful and has an amazing battery life, but I prefer larger screens and it's also overpriced.
My recommendation is the MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro 4K-021. It's amazing! It has a 2.6Ghz i7-6700, a 4K screen, a super powerful NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, and weighs only 4 pounds. I bought the $1,999 version with a 512Gb SSD and 1 Terabyte hard drive.
I play Company of Heroes 2 on it in 4K with maximum resolution both on the built-in display and the external 43" monitor I recommend. The battery life is on the low side, but if you put the notebook in low performance you can get 2-3 hours of work done.
Computer Monitor: Philips BDM4350UC
When it comes to computer monitors I have always been of the thought that bigger is better. Given that it's not uncommon for high end 32" 4K monitors to cost upwards of $1,500, the Philips BDM4350UC is an absolute bargain. I bought it for $799 on Amazon, though it's currently selling for $1,029 which is very cheap for a 4K 43" monitor.
The Philips BDM4350UC has a 50,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 5ms response time and supports 3840×2160 at 60Hz. This monitor fixes one the big flaws of the Philips BMD4065UC given that it supports HDMI 2.0. Note that by default the monitor is set for DisplayPort 1.1 and HDMI 1.4. You must manually go in monitor settings and switch them to 1.2 and 2.0 respectively. Once it's done, it works gloriously!
Working and gaming are amazing on it. Without hesitation, it's the monitor to get!
Game Console: PS4 Pro
Last year I recommended buying an Xbox One because of the exclusives on that console especially Rise of the Tomb Raider. This year I am recommending the PS4 Pro. It's the most powerful console on the market. The main reason I am recommending the PS4 Pro this year is Drake Uncharted 4 which is a PS4 exclusive.
Note that if you currently have a PS4 there is no good reason to upgrade to the PS4 Pro, it's not powerful enough to play games in 4K at 60 fps and the improvements are not that noticeable. If you don't have a PS4 yet, buy the PS4 Pro. It's marginally more expensive than the regular PS4, more future proof and plays existing games better.
I look forward to seeing what Microsoft comes up with next year with Project Scorpio
Video Games: Drake Uncharted 4 and Company of Heroes 2
I decided to skip out this year's FPS games: Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. They are well executed, play well and got great reviews, but I am currently tired of the genre. It's in desperate need of a refresh.
I love third person action adventure games like GTA V, Rise of the Tomb Raider, The Last of Us, Max Payne 3, L.A. Noire and Gears of War. Drake Unchartered 4 is the best third person action adventure game I ever played. It has amazing set pieces, a compelling story, is incredibly playable and has amazing graphics. Everything in this game feels right – the pace, the action, the story. If you like third person action adventure games, this is a no brainer. Buy this game!
On the PC, I am still playing Company of Heroes 2. I am really pining for a rich and complex RTS like Rise of Nations or Age of Empires, ideally one that mixes the tactical unit control of Company of Heroes with the strategic depth of those games (read: Let's reinvent PC gaming!).
It does not have huge improvements over its predecessor, but it's gorgeous and I love the game play. Note that I exclusively play it online 2 on 2 or 3 on 3, which I find to be most challenging and rewarding. I don't typically play the campaign in strategy games as the AI is never challenging enough, unless it cheats. Also, the strategy used to defeat the AI is rarely useful online.
Gaming Headset: HyperX Cloud II
The HyperX Cloud II headset is the perfect companion for the computer and PS4 recommendations above. It's super comfortable. The microphone noise cancellation is the best I have ever used. People I talk to can't hear the background noise even when I am in a noisy environment. Likewise, by being closed cup, the headset has amazing noise cancellation and I can work and play effectively from anywhere.
One of my top pet peeves is people not using headsets with built in microphones when doing Skype calls. Especially if you are fund raising it does not reflect positively on you if I can hear you are in a noisy coffee shop and can barely hear what you tell me. If you do a lot of Skype calls get a great headset!
Webcam: Logitech HD Pro C920
Given that most of my work entails doing Skype calls, webcam video quality is key and the Logitech HD Pro C920 has the best.
Portable Speaker: UE Boom 2
The UE Boom 2 has the best, loudest sound of all portable speakers. It's stain-resistant, shock-resistant and fully waterproof. Battery life is great and it can be paired with a second UE Boom 2 for stereo sound.
Router: Asus RT-AC88U
It's expensive but it's the best router on the market. It's superfast and the longest usable range of any router I ever played with. It's also very easy to setup.
TV: Vizio M70-D3
When it comes to TVs I think bigger is better. The Vizio M70-D3 is a 70" 4K HDR TV with an Android tablet remote control for $1,899. Most importantly it has the best picture quality I have seen outside of the LG OLED TVs. Those are amazing but you only get a 65" for $2,999. That said if you are less price sensitive and don't mind getting a smaller TV, the LG 65B6P is a worthy option.
I look forward to playing with the LeEco uMax85 upcoming TV. It has amazing specs and 85" screen for $4,999.
Digital Camera: GoPro HERO5 Black & Canon Powershot SX720 HS
Most people don't need a digital camera. The current generation of cell phones takes great pictures and are more practical. However, they lack a proper zoom which makes them impractical for taking great sports shots. For those circumstances, I use the Canon Powershot SX720 HS. It's a compact superzoom camera with a 40x optical zoom, great image stabilization and a 3" LCD. I am not recommending any of the SLR cameras because experience suggests you end up not taking them with you all the time because of their bulk.
The GoPro Hero5 Black is amazing for capturing footage in first person perspective or attached to your kite lines. I usually use joint videos from the Canon (taken by a third party) and the Go Pro to make kite surfing and skiing videos.
I tried the drones which follow you such as the AirDog, but they are not good enough yet. The battery life is way too short and they don't deal well with high wind or trees both of which are mainstays of the sports I practice.
Foosball Table: Shelti Pro Foos III
A startup or venture capital office would not be complete without the requisite foosball table. As we love foosball, we opted for an amazing table. The Shelti Pro Foos III is expensive, but it's a tournament level table which emphasizes control. The table is much slower than a Bonzini table, but offers way more subtle ball control options. If you love foosball, it's the table to get!
Chair: Herman Miller Embody Chair
We spend so many hours sitting at our desks, we might as well be as comfortable and healthy as possible doing it. After years of using Herman Miller's Aeron chairs, I switched to the Embody Chair and have not looked back.
Living Room Speaker: Devialet Phantom Silver
The Devialet has by far the best sound of any speaker I have ever listened to. It has no distortion, even at high volume, no saturation and no background noise. It's so powerful, even in its 3,000 Watt silver option, that I only installed one in my living room as a replacement for the various Sonos Play:5 speakers I had. I setup the Sonos speakers in the media room instead with the Sonos sound bar and subwoofer.
BTW Don't put the Sonos and Devialet on the same system as they have different lag so the sound is not synchronized. The Devialet has a built-in lag of 160ms, while the Sonos has a lag of 70ms.
Media Room Sound System: Sonos
I always hated all the cables we had to run everywhere to create proper sound in media rooms. Sonos finally solved that problem with a simple, clean and amazing sounding solution. The sound bar, subwoofer and speakers work perfectly together providing amazing sound.
Home Automation: Mix and Match
First and foremost, do not use systems by Crestron, Control4 and Savant. Their main advantage is that you can control your entire home in
one app. However, these bespoke systems are expensive to install and maintain. Moreover, I find the latency unbearable. It drives me nuts when I tell it to turn the Xbox and TV on and it takes 10 seconds to comply. Likewise, with changing channels, controlling the Amazon Fire TV etc.
It's much cheaper to just buy the best system to control each part of your home separately. You end up with different apps on your iPad or iPhone, but I don't find that less convenient than having everything in one app. To control everything, I setup a 12.9" Ipad Pro on the wall with the ultimate goal of controlling everything through Apple's built in Home App.
To control all the AV in the media room, I setup a Logitech Harmony Elite. With one remote, or from my iPhone or iPad, I control the PS4 Pro, Xbox One, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Verizon Fios and external HDMI input. There is still a little bit of lag, but I find it bearable and the remote control works well with all the aforementioned devices.
The blind motors are Somfy. I am using some custom code to control them via SmartThings. Then I setup HomeBridge to connect SmartThings to Apple HomeKit.
The fireplace is connected to a Remotec ZFM-80 z-wave relay. This relay is controlled Through iOS Home App via Homebridge to SmartThings. Lights are Lutron Caseta wirelessand integrate directly into HomeKit. I am using Ecobee 3 thermostats that integrate directly into HomeKit to control both the HVAC and the floor heating. I am still figuring out the front door system, but am leaning towards the iDor mobile solution.
Happy holidays!]]>
"They're made out of meat."
"Meat. They're made out of meat."
"There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat."
"That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?"
"They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come from machines."
"So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact."
"They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines."
"That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat."
"I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they're made out of meat."
"Maybe they're like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that goes through a meat stage."
"Nope. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn't take long. Do you have any idea what's the life span of meat?"
"Spare me. Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma brain inside."
"Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the weddilei. But I told you, we probed them. They're meat all the way through."
"No brain?"
"Oh, there's a brain all right. It's just that the brain is made out of meat! That's what I've been trying to tell you."
"So … what does the thinking?"
"You're not understanding, are you? You're refusing to deal with what I'm telling you. The brain does the thinking. The meat."
"Thinking meat! You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!"
"Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you beginning to get the picture or do I have to start all over?"
"Omigod. You're serious then. They're made out of meat."
"Thank you. Finally. Yes. They are indeed made out of meat. And they've been trying to get in touch with us for almost a hundred of their years."
"Omigod. So what does this meat have in mind?"
"First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other sentiences, swap ideas and information. The usual."
"We're supposed to talk to meat."
"That's the idea. That's the message they're sending out by radio. 'Hello. Anyone out there. Anybody home.' That sort of thing."
"They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?" "Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat."
"I thought you just told me they used radio."
"They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat."
"Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?"
"Officially or unofficially?"
"Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, fear or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing."
"I was hoping you would say that."
"It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?"
"I agree one hundred percent. What's there to say? 'Hello, meat. How's it going?' But will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?"
"Just one. They can travel to other planets in special meat containers, but they can't live on them. And being meat, they can only travel through C space. Which limits them to the speed of light and makes the possibility of their ever making contact pretty slim. Infinitesimal, in fact."
"So we just pretend there's no one home in the Universe."
"That's it."
"Cruel. But you said it yourself, who wants to meet meat? And the ones who have been aboard our vessels, the ones you probed? You're sure they won't remember?"
"They'll be considered crackpots if they do. We went into their heads and smoothed out their meat so that we're just a dream to them."
"A dream to meat! How strangely appropriate, that we should be meat's dream."
"And we marked the entire sector unoccupied."
"Good. Agreed, officially and unofficially. Case closed. Any others? Anyone interesting on that side of the galaxy?"
"Yes, a rather shy but sweet hydrogen core cluster intelligence in a class nine star in G445 zone. Was in contact two galactic rotations ago, wants to be friendly again."
"They always come around."
"And why not? Imagine how unbearably, how unutterably cold the Universe would be if one were all alone …"
You can find the original article at:
Fabrice Grinda, a longtime New Yorker, has helped create hundreds of jobs for Americans and others. Among the companies he has started is OLX, one of the largest free classifieds sites in the world — one that was acquired over time by the African conglomerate Naspers for $250 million.
Grinda more recently co-founded Beepi, the peer-to-peer used car marketplace based in California; Rebagg, a New York-based platform that buys high-end luxury bags from their owners for cash; and Instacarro, a Sao Paulo, Brazil-based car-buying service that will buy individuals' cars for cash in an hour's time.
Grinda and longtime business partner, Jose Marin, also plug between $15 million and $20 million of their own capital into startups each year through their joint vehicle, FJ Labs.
But though he sounds it, Grinda isn't American. He doesn't have dual citizenship. He's "pure French." He just happened to head to Princeton at age 17, and he hasn't much wanted to leave the East Coast since.
So what does this European make of a new U.S. president who has Silicon Valley on edge? Because he's a global operator and because he doesn't live in the Bay Area, we talked with Grinda earlier today about President-elect Trump and whether he's concerned about what comes next.
TC: How did the U.S. election just change the picture?
FG: Public market investors, limited partners in venture funds and private equity firms — they don't like uncertainty. What they don't know is the actual set of policies coming down the line that could impact them going forward. What will be his tax policy? What will his administration regulate and deregulate? It's not like [Trump's team] came forward with a well-thought-out set of policy proposals. It was all kind of vacuous. So I think investors will be more cautious until they understand what a Trump presidency means.
TC: Do you think it could impact you personally?
FG: I don't spend much time thinking about politics. I'm not sure it has a real impact on day-to-day life. It's a large part of the reason I'm on the internet. I like its deregulated, fast-moving nature.
TC: Yet there could easily be consequences. People worry, for example, that for the sake of creating more American jobs, Trump might somehow slow tech, including self-driving technologies.
FG: There's no hard data regarding what is going to be done. My only concerns are around the uncertainty.
TC: What do you make of Trump, the candidate, and soon, the president?
FC: I dislike the guy. I dislike populism and most of the things he said and much of what he stands for. I'm pro immigration and probably more socially liberal than anyone I know. But look, he's a startup who has disrupted the establishment. He used a lot of the same tactics that a startup would use to get free press, frankly. He created a story that was compelling enough that he garnered press all the time and so had much lower acquisition costs than the other candidates. Jeb Bush was paying something like $5,000 per voter in the GOP primaries, where Trump was paying about $300.
In startup terms, he had an effective distribution and a marketing strategy and messaging that people found compelling. I think he proved the adage that any press is good press. And the establishment only realized this was dangerous once it was too late.
By the way, I think the same is true of jihadists; all the media attention that ISIS receives makes it easier for them to get recruits.
TC: Let's not go there. What do you think Silicon Valley does now to turn this situation into a win instead of something to suffer through?
FG: Clearly, there's a percentage of the population that's been left behind and not listened to and we need to find a better way to deal with that. I am an optimist. I do believe the tide of history is toward more liberalism and the quality of life improving. Sometimes, you have pushback, but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't seem to matter. As horrible as the Great Depression must have been to live through, it barely registers in the bigger picture. I think the next four years will be a blip, too.
Has globalization had some losers? Absolutely. If you're a high school dropout, your relative job position in the job market hasn't been great over the last 30 years. It's a class of people who haven't been heard, and we haven't been good at retraining or them or integrating them into the success of this country. We need to focus on opportunities to refocus the education system and retrain them and that's the message that's been sent and maybe it'll force us to get our act together.
TC: Should the country, including investors, be more focused then more on educational reforms, education platforms? Where are the biggest opportunities here given the shifting tides?
FG: I think there are things he could do well. The U.S. hasn't had a good infrastructure program for years. To create jobs, the easiest way isn't to block technology but to build better roads and bridges and airports and the things that are needed and create lots of jobs. The reality, too, is that we're crumbling under red tape. We have an outrageously ineffective corporate and personal tax system that are both ineffective and run inefficiently. And we're under a mountain of regulations. If you're in the offline world for example, the burden for construction alone is limited to an insane degree by nimbyism. If he could do these things, we might be able to make the best of a bad situation. I know I'd feel better.]]>

Usually we go to SLC but flight prices out of Buffalo have inched up quite a bit and the timing doesn't seem to work well with the ski and fly same day like we usually do. Last year we went to CO and went to Copper, Snowmass, Highlands, and Loveland. Overall, we thought we liked SLC a lot better, but conditions might have had something to do with it as CO was having some thaw-freeze issues. We thought Copper and Loveland were more fun than Aspen as the trees are too tight in Aspen, and the snow quality was worse. Also Copper has some fun long cruising off the Super Bee chairs which was probably the highlight of the trip, given sub-par snow.
So based on cost/flight limitations we may consider going back to CO. Copper would be high on the list, but Winter Park also looks interesting given it rates high for tree skiing. Also it appears to be a little more budget friendly for lodging. For either resort we'd get a 4 pack to save on $.
Comparing the two, how do the compare in the following:
Cruisers- does WP have some fun long cruisers if we get cursed with snow like last year? By long I'm thinking 2000ft+ vert like the Super Bee chair.
Snow- Copper is higher, so is WP generally inferior for snow mid-winter?
Trees- are the WP trees as good as advertised? How do they stack up against Copper or even Brighton or Snowbird?
Moguls- are the moguls as prevalent at WP as they say? Most of us are on snowboards and moguls aren't that fun.
Crowds- Copper was pretty good on a non-holiday Friday in February... How does WP compare?
Is there anything else of note to compare?

Sevani Serum Vitale Essential Nutrient Oil
Sevani Serum Vitale Essential Nutrient Oil contains a blend of natural oils specifically selected for their hydrating, firming and cell regeneration properties, such as sea buckthorn, frankincense and neroli. This facial oil blend is brimming with antioxidants, vitamins and omega fatty acids to provide deeply penetrating moisture.
Please note Sevani products are final sale and not eligible for return.
TIA Review by Marta:
Once upon a time, I regarded oil as something to fry chips in, or at best make a vinaigrette. That is behind me and I now embrace facial oils as part of my beauty regimen, appreciating that the formulas can be simple and potent. Not having a water base means that conventional preservatives and all those thickeners and emulsifiers aren't needed. So I was excited to try Sevani's Serum Vitale Essential Nutrient Oil.
Serum Vitale can be used directly on the skin, as a facial massage oil, or by adding a few drops to a favorite moisturizer to give it some antioxidant turbo. It feels luxuriant and rich, without feeling clogging (although someone with oily or acne-prone skin should use more sparingly). It makes a great antioxidant supplement to use with your LED light.
Sevani's products are formulated for sensitive skins, focus on botanical and organic ingredients, but ensure that they meet the task at hand. In other words, they work.
When I look at the ingredients list for Serum Vitale, which has only good things in it, I just think omega fatty acids. So many of these oils are just brimming with them - olive, rosehip, argan and sea buckthorn. Pomegranate brings antioxidants and research has shown that it can prevent sunburn. Evening primrose has its share of fatty acids and should also be commended for gamma linoleic acid. There's plenty of data suggesting that GLA enhances the epidermal barrier. Because of its ability to dilute sebum production, evening primrose oil is good at calming acne flare-ups, while at the same time hydrating skin.
Patchouli gives Serum Vitale a bit of a hippy whiff that you'll love, or not. I don't, but that is a very small quibble for a quality and decently priced product that has me a full on convert to facial oils.

love how this smells and leaves my skin feeling. I use it at night on damp skin and on back of hands.Was this review helpful to you? YES(0) | NO(0)
I have used this for quite a few months along with other Sevani products. This is a soothing, moisturizing, healing product that smells like heaven to me. (Only a light scent.)
It was my first oil-based product that I ever tried. Thought I would hate putting oil on my face, but my attitude changed. This is very different - light weight, absorbs, makes my skin look so much better. It's also been healthy for my skin - no nasty chemical ingredients and therefore no breakouts or irritation.
I keep trying other moisturizing and firming creams by other brands (usually extremely $$$$$$ more expensive), but I keep coming back to Sevani Serum Vitale because it's clear that my skin loves it the most. (I'm 62 but my skin looks 40-ish). Another thing I really like about this particular product of Sevani's is that it is wonderful to use after a heavy duty peel.

Barack Hussein Obama was elected President of the United States
of America. This is fact. How he got there is open to question,
serious question. More and more fraudulent voting practices are
being uncovered almost daily. Perhaps the most insidious element
to all this lies in the act of surrounding himself with others in
the highest offices who firmly believe that to achieve power they
must emasculate our precious Constitution, Bill of Rights and
even pollute the moral ground on which this nation stands.
Denials come to mind: "this won't increase your taxes by one
dime," "your right to keep your present insurance if you like
it." Latest figures guarantee that millions now will lose their
insurance, liking it or not.
Digging deeper into the ACA (Affordable Care Act) is now
beginning to appear as more, much more, veiled voter registration
of the multi-millions of illegal, low (or no) income population
than actual health care. This has been totally covered up and/or
ignored by even those opposed to the act. And denials to the
damaging effects of this abomination continue to obfuscate the
true intent of the worst job killing act in recent memory.
It began as little denials. They escalated to vehement denials.
And then came slight inabilities to do regular activities.
Regular board games and card games were frustrating and painful.
And, yes, memory continued downhill until one day I sat back and
reviewed all that had preceded and realized life had taken an
unwelcome direction. Dementia and Alzheimer had entered the
picture of tranquility that we had enjoyed for well over fifty
years. My wife had entered this world of unforgiveness and would
not return. I should have realized it some years earlier when
she insisted that the new garbage bag wouldn't open – she
insisted that it was just a single piece of plastic. When I
opened it for her and placed it into the garbage bucket, she said
Several years ago we were in an international airport awaiting a
connecting flight amid all the frantic traffic, and she
disappeared. I was absolutely frantic and didn't know which way
to turn. We only had so many minutes to reach our gate and a
feeling of helplessness overwhelmed me such as I had never known
before. She couldn't remember where we were going and I had all
the tickets and flight information – and I couldn't find her.
About then the Heavens really opened up and I heard a voice
saying: "Mr. Leupp, please proceed to such and such area for your
wife." I thanked God that she remembered my name. I never left
her out of my sight after that. These were the beginnings of
circumstances that changed our lives forever.
I learned to cook; keep house; do the things that she was so
accomplished at doing. It was an exceedingly poor replacement
for her marvelous ingenuity, her talents, generosity,
resourcefulness, and so much more than an "equal" partner could
expect. She drew, painted, sang, arranged flowers,
entertained…there didn't seem to be anything that she couldn't
do. She infused beauty and music into our family such as I had
not the talent. And now it was fading into bleakness …and I
knew that it would only get worse.
Three years ago, she climbed a small ladder to "talk" over the
wall to the dog next door. On the way back down, she missed a
step, fell and shattered her hip. Hospitalization, two major
surgeries and then a stroke that paralyzed her left side, left
her totally dependent on critical care. About the only thing she
remembers is my face; short term and long term memories are gone
– the disconnect seems total. When one of our sons visited
recently, he had to tell her who he was. We "celebrated" our
59th anniversary this year and with all the memories, both joyful
and painful, as I recounted the "journey" with her – there was
nothing but a blank stare. Fifty nine years of sharing
everything in our lives with each other and, suddenly, it's all
How do you prepare for life such as this? I can't tell you any
more than this: love your spouse, your family, and treat each day
as if it is your last. Honor God, love your neighbors as
yourself and be patient, loving and forgiving with those you
don't understand.
As for the ACA, and the Obama regime, together they stand as the
political Alzheimer's Disease of our country and I doubt if any
"super pill" will correct either one. God knows our
circumstances; In Him, and Him alone, we trust.

Now, on the orders of Omar Khadri, the malicious mastermind plotting more al Qaeda strikes on America, Wells is coming home. Neither Khadri nor Jennifer Exley, Wells' superior at Langley, knows quite what to expect.
For Wells has changed during his years in the mountains. He has become a Muslim. He finds the United States decadent and shallow. Yet he hates al Qaeda and the way it uses Islam to justify its murderous assaults on innocents. He is a man alone, and the CIA, still reeling from its failure to predict 9/11 or find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, does not know whether to trust him. Among his handlers at Langley, only Exley believes in him, and even she sometimes wonders. And so the agency freezes Wells out, preferring to rely on high-tech means for gathering intelligence.
But as that strategy fails and Khadri moves closer to unleashing the most devastating terrorist attack in history, Wells and Exley must somehow find a way to stop him, with or without the government's consent.
From secret American military bases where suspects are held and "interrogated" to basement laboratories where al Qaeda's scientists grow the deadliest of biological weapons, The Faithful Spy is a riveting and cautionary tale, as affecting in its personal stories as it is sophisticated in its political details. The first spy thriller to grapple squarely with the complexities and terrors of today's world, this is a uniquely exciting and unnerving novel by an author who truly knows his territory.
©2006 Alex Berenson; (P)2006 Books on Tape
"Graphic and chillingly real." (Publishers Weekly)
"One could hardly ask for a more skillful, timely, and well-rounded translation of our worst fears into satisfying thrills." (Booklist)
"A GOOD spy thriller!"
I enjoyed this book very much. It's exactly what I was looking for, a good spy thriller with lot's of action ... Something to take my mind off reality. Like watching "24" ... Not "HIGH ART", but fun and bloody spy action! If an escape is what you're after, look no further! I'm anxious to see how his others are.
"Not bad, but not good either."
I like espionage thrillers and read all of Vince Flynn's books, who incidently recommended this book. All I can say is that he can learn from Flynn as how to keep suspense going. I could not stop listening to the Flynn series, and it took me about two weeks to finish this one as I lost interest along the way. The narrator was just OK.
"Sorry, just don't get it."
Long gone is the Afghanistan war where good and evil was clear.
Set 3 months after 9/11 this novel dates badly.
Although well written (hence 2 stars) 'The Faithful Spy' is a cynical exploitation of American patriotism of a bygone era and should come with a health warning... 'Not for consumption in the real world'.
I enjoyed this well paced "page turner". It wasn't so black and white regarding who the characters were and what motivates them, which I appreciated. The narrator, Robertson Dean, was ideal.
I'll be listening/reading to more by Alex Berenson.
"Good to great"
Not always a great read but a very solid first effort by Mr. Berenson. His insights and characters were both educational and entertaining on several levels. I will look forward to his next effort which , I believe, is due out soon.
"Mixed bag"
I enjoyed the "fighting terrorism" current events story line, but I have long since tired of orchestrated drama that resolves everything at the last moment's rush.
"The Faithful Spy"
Just wonderful..kept me interested thru the whole book! We took a trip that took 16 hours..and the time passed very quickly!!! You will love it.
"I am amazed I actually listened to the entire book"
I bought this book based on the reviews posted here, most of which praise the book from every aspect. I found the book to be very slow paced. The characters were not well developed, the story rambled through a confusings series of sub-plots. There was little detail of the workings of the CIA, FBI, or security services. Most annoying was the narrator, whose deep, husky, monotonous voice was soporific. He sounded like an old disk jockey who smoked too much. He did not bring any characterizations to the story, beyond raising the pitch of his voice a bit to indicate a female speaking. It was very difficult to get through this dull, lackluster presentation. I kept waiting for the part the reviews presented here descibed. They never came. I feel like the boy in 'The Emporor's New Clothes'. This book screams first novel, and the narrator was poor. You have been warned.
"So Real it's Scary!"
I was fully cognizant, when I purchased this audio book, that it was a work of fiction but it was so real it was scary. Can't help but feel that this is going on in the world as I type. Makes me more aware of the political tug-of-war that goes on between the CIA & FBI and the "no sharing information" rule.
"Entertaining and TOO timely"
This was a great book from an author new to me. The characters are well-developed and the "inside information" about Al Qaeda was believable. Though a pro-American read, there was enough ambiguity and the "enemies" were presented sympathetically enough that it wasn't xenophobic. The unabridged version is a quick read, and I wouldn't hesitate to choose it over the shorter one.

U.S. Supreme Court Declines to Review "Sufficiency" of EEOC Investigation
Whether the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit erred when it concluded, as a matter of first impression, that the Supreme Court's standard for judicial review of the EEOC's statutory duty to conciliate, described in Mach Mining, applies equally to the EEOC's statutory duty to investigate, despite the significant and material differences between the duty to attempt conciliation and the duty to conduct an investigation.
The U.S. Chamber filed an amicus brief in support of a cert. petition challenging the Second Circuit's decision that although Title VII permits courts to review whether the EEOC conducted an investigation before bringing an enforcement action, it does not permit courts to review the sufficiency and scope of such an investigation. The Chamber's brief argued that the Second Circuit's erroneous view of the Supreme Court's decision in Mach Mining will have a dramatic impact on American business and that its decision conflicts with the statutory text, structure, and purpose of Title VII. Also, the brief details how the Supreme Court's intervention is required to rein in the EEOC's expanding and aggressive enforcement policy.
Collin O'Connor Udell of Jackson Lewis P.C. served as counsel for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the U.S. Chamber Litigation Center.
The petition for writ of certiorari was denied.

In addition to give enjoyment, beer has been found to have several of the identical health benefits as wine. It has brawny diuretic features, due to the constituents of potassium salts and hop. This quality of beer is sometimes beneficial for removal of stones from kidney or washing kidneys. That is why it is considered as a healthy drink as it also results in stronger heart and bones.
There are several brands of energizing beer italy (birra artigianale italia) available in these stores, so you can easily get your favorite beer from them. Everyone has his or her own unique taste, as some love strong taste, some like to drink a mild one, some love a sweet flavor, whereas a few others may crave for its bitter taste.

You can also get a number of aspects about beer on these online stores like history of beer, how it prepares and many more.
Other than this you can also get information about your local or nearby area beer importer (importatore birra) from these stores. So do not be anxious about the place where you get this great and tasty drink, just enjoy it. And also if you are a supplier then you can also promote yourself and your beers on the websites of these online stores. So if you really want to take pleasure of this marvelous beverage, then don't think anymore just go online and find out the most relevant and affordable online beer store to enjoy most from these delightful drinks.

Thermostat went out last Sunday. What is causing this.
My thermostat went out last Sunday. I put in a new one on Monday and
everything was great until I went out to warm up my vehicle this morning. As
soon as it got warm the temp gauge spiked again. The heater was blowing
out cold air. What is causing this.
3 Answers
Are you sure you put in the new thermostat in the right direction?
yes. I installed the new one identical to the one I took out. I am wondering if I should have went ahead and changed the coolant temp sensor also.
Is the coolant old. If a 50/50 mixture is not maintained it will overheat. Get the engine up to operating temp and feel both lines leading to and from the heater core. If one is hot and the other cold, there is a blockage in the core.

MONZA, Italy— Formula One's tire scandal is officially over, but as the teams prepared for the Italian Grand Prix, the normally placid Friday press conference erupted into an acrimonious debate between team directors about the tires, showing that the issue had left lasting tread marks up and down the pit lane.
An official statement Tuesday from the International Automobile Federation, the sport's governing body, said, "The matter is now closed, and the championship can continue with all teams on an equal footing."
But as many in the paddock have asked: "Does that mean that the teams were not on an equal footing before?"
The scandal began after Michael Schumacher, the series leader, finished eighth in Hungary, suffering the indignity of being lapped by Fernando Alonso, who won the race. The Spaniard had never won a Grand Prix.Continue reading the main story
Schumacher's team, Ferrari, uses Bridgestone tires; all cars ahead of him used Michelins.
Bridgestone, which supplies half the teams, told Ferrari that it believed Michelin provided illegal front tires.
Bridgestone said Michelin's tires were the legal maximum width when inspected before a race but developed a larger tread surface under use, giving the car more grip.
Ferrari complained to the FIA, the governing body of Formula One.
Ferrari also threatened to request that teams using Michelin tires be disqualified retroactively.
The rules specify that the maximum width applies to tires "when new," but the FIA sent a fax to the teams saying that, starting in Monza, all tires would also be tested after use.
Michelin denied that its tires were illegal and first said it would not have time to make new tires for the race this weekend, then produced a new tire within a few days and tested it in Monza last week.
The FIA approved the tire, measuring it both before and after use. But the issue was far from closed.
The press conference Friday — which normally takes no more than 20 minutes — lasted over an hour.
Things turned hostile as Ross Brawn, Ferrari's technical director, began to answer the first question regarding the tire issue.
"We would all like black-and-white regulations," Brawn said. "Depending on which direction you come at a regulation, you can take a certain interpretation. We have an interpretation that was different to the Michelin teams."
He was interrupted by Patrick Head, technical director of the BMW-Williams team, which uses Michelin tires, who said: "Why did you wait for 38 races before raising this point? If you had this view all the time, it seemed an odd time to raise it, Ross."
Ferrari made the complaint after the Hungarian Grand Prix on Aug. 24, when Williams passed it in the lead of the constructors' standings.
Brawn said he believed the tire had existed only since the Monaco Grand Prix, but Head responded that the tire's mold was the same since 2001.
Brawn then said that Ferrari had not been aware of the problem until Bridgestone told them about it after Hungary. Some suggested that Michelin's response to make a new tire was an admission of guilt.
But Pascal Vasselon, the director of Michelin's Formula One program, said in an interview that the new tires to be used this weekend used the same mold as the others, but contained minor changes to provide "the most elegant solution" to the issue.
Moreover, Vasselon disputed the advantage they would have gained, saying that a wider front tire rarely helps in a race.
"It is invariably the rear tires that undergo the greatest wear and tear in a race, because of the engine," he said, adding that if the front tires overperform while the rear tires underperform, the car's balance is thrown off.
Hisao Suganuma, Bridgestone's technical manager, said in an interview that he suspected throughout the season that Michelin's tires were too wide but that it was not up to the company to complain about a rival tire.
In Hungary, Bridgestone had photographs taken of the Michelin tires after use and used them to determine that the tires were too large, before informing Ferrari. When asked how Bridgestone measures the size of a tire through photographs, Suganuma said: "You can visually estimate it."
In the press conference, Ron Dennis, the director of the McLaren-Mercedes team, which uses Michelin tires, said that using photographs was inaccurate because a tire may give the illusion of being wider because it picks up rubber, dirt and debris from the track during a race.
Vasselon insisted Michelin had not been trying to outwit Bridgestone in one of motor racing's oldest traditions: pushing the technology to the limits of the rules, and through loopholes, without breaking the rules.
"'We worked directly with the FIA on developing the tire," he said.
"We sent them drawings of the tire, the FIA came and verified that the tire and the drawings corresponded to each other, and they sent us a letter saying the tire was legal."
He added that he thought that Bridgestone was keen to praise wider front tires because the Ferrari cars suffer from oversteer, a chassis problem for the Italian team that would only be exacerbated by wider front tires. Oversteer is when the rear of the car slides out from behind.
When queried on the matter in the press conference, Brawn skirted the issue of the car and said that Bridgestone simply made the tire as wide as they thought the rules permitted.
Dennis, whose team used to use Bridgestone tires, interjected, "I think it's misleading of Ross to say that it was a regulatory influence that determined the width of the tire.
He added that Bridgestone always worked to improving the front tires and had very "constant and consistent" ideas about the optimum width.
Dennis then said that his team's testing program in Monza last week was interrupted by the need to test the new Michelin tires, and could negatively affect the team's results — which, he said, was part of Ferrari's strategy in raising the tire issue.

Wisconsin Water Science Center
Other key findings from this study:
Impacts of road-salt runoff on water-quality and aquatic organisms
The earlier journal article, published in September 2010 in Environmental Science and Technology, investigated the influence of road-salt runoff on surface water and aquatic organisms at multiple spatial scales: national, regional (southeast Wisconsin), and local (Milwaukee). The influence of urban development was also examined in this study.
For the national perspective, USGS scientists used historical data from over 14,000 individual chloride water-quality samples collected in 17 major metropolitan areas around the country between 1969 and 2008. Regionally, they used continuous specific conductance sensors as an indicator of road-salt runoff, monitoring 11 streams in southeast Wisconsin during both warm- and cold-weather periods from 1998 to 2008. To evaluate local conditions, they used data from 14 Milwaukee-area streams during road-salt application periods in 2007 for chloride concentrations and/or specific conductance, and performed bioassays using Pimephales promelas and Ceriodaphnia dubia
Key findings from this study:
Regionally: In southeast Wisconsin, potential toxicity was found during winter at all urban streams studied, with lingering effects at some streams in the summer.
The Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene co-authored this paper and did the bioassay testing involved. Additionally, this portion of the study was conducted in cooperation with both the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District and General Mitchell International Airport.

Dr. Oz has done it again: brought another weight loss supplement into the public eye via his wildly influential TV show.
Forskolin caused a significant decrease in fat mass.
…chemistry students have been playing around with Forskolin for years, adding to their stacks and discovering weight loss benefits.
Forskolin had an effect on body composition.
Here are more factors to look out for when searching for Forskolin supplements:
You got it: body fat.
Everyone wants to know about Forskolin now, even though the following has always been true:
First, let's establish that the study was conducted according to proper scientific protocol…
The short version? Forskolin is effective for weight loss, but you can't find them in most stores.
That's actually pretty promising stuff.
exercise will become easier, more enjoyable, more effective
Forskolin, the fat-shedding plant exposed by Dr. Oz
Our criticisms of Forskolin research are based on misguided perceptions about physiology. We know nothing about body composition, weight loss or health. We do, however, hate Dr. Oz.
It's just a matter of waiting for the scientific community to catch up with the research and perform longer-term studies on women.

close just like all your great ones. I do not know how you do it but my gosh you spineless, heartless people at PA Lottery, give this man his
They are ruthless...all these splits, front doubles, back doubles, repeat doubles, wtf doubles....they don't know what triples are anymore. THEY
Ok! The suckers can't cheat much longer without a revolt and people knocking down their doors...I agree cj, it's coming in the next few days.
Trip trigger is there.
That would have been a good amount of dough I played it as well.

Hey - that's my 348 JoJo! Really like the 38 today - also that da** 0
Thank You!
I pulled this from the Vtracs page on lottery post I hope it helps
The term "VTracs" is comprised of "V" for variable and "tracs" for tracking. So when you talk about VTracs you're talking about tracking variables.
VTracs uses a system of number substitution to condense regular Pick 3 drawing results into 3-digit numbers with half as many possible combinations. The number substitution is as follows:
VTrac Draw Numbers 1 0 5 2 1 6 3 2 7 4 3 8 5 4 9
Example today was 785 equals vtracs 341 - see highlighted
JOJO i picked up a qp tonight for quinto it was 39100 you maybe onto something with the 70072
and gotta play that 559
Thank you CJR100

Teachers' careers are being ruined by the way false accusations of abuse against them have been investigated, an influential group of MPs says today.
An investigation by the Commons select committee which monitors educations says the long cherished principle of "innocent until proven guilty" is at risk when it comes to allegations of abuse made against teachers. It calls for urgent government action to redress the balance.
Their report says they were "shocked" to find that Ed Balls' Department for Children, Schools and Families condoned employers barring suspended staff from any contact with colleagues. It says such actions were "inhumane and unjust".
"There is a fine balance to be struck between safeguarding the rights of children and the rights of those who work with children," said Barry Sheerman, LAbour MP for Huddersfield and chairman of the select committee.
"Allegations proven to be true must be punished. But the vast majority of complaints made against school staff have little or no foundation."
The report says that - during the course of their investigation - it emerged that only five per cent of complaints dealt with by teachers' unions resulted in a conviction against the teacher..
"My committee heard shocking evidence about the treatment of accused staff and the devastating impact unfounded allegations of misconduct can have on those involved, which can ruin careers and come at a significant physical, mental and financial cost."
The committee heard of one case - eventually dismissed - where a teacher had to certify that he would have no sole contact with his baby daughter for a year.
In another, a member of staff at a school was forbidden to watch his son play rugby for his school - even at away matches.
The MPs' criticise police for being too ready to arrest teachers even when they go voluntarily down to a police station to co-operate with an inquiry - and voice concern that so-called "soft" information about allegations dismissed are kept on teachers' files, thus making it almost impossible for them to find another job.
They recommend ministers review whether teachers should be given a statutory right of anonymity until found guilty of a crime - a move favoured by the Conservatives.
They also want the Independent safeguarding authority to conduct "evidence-based" hearings to see whether "soft" information should be deleted from files.
The report says: "Those wrongly accused are likely to go through a period of intense distress and may have their lives and careers ruined.
"It seems that some headteachers are still too hasty to suspend when an allegation is made.
"Headteachers should be made aware that the lawfulness of suspension can be challenged and that courts may not necessarily view suspension as a neutral act."
It adds: "We were shocked to find that the Department condones attempts by employers to bar suspended staff from social contact with colleagues.
"Deliberate and authorised isolation of staff who may be entirely innocent and who may be disadvantaged by that isolation in gathering evidence to mount a defence in any disciplinary hearing seems inhumane and unjust. No such bar should apply outside school premises."
Evidence given to the committee by the National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers showed the number of allegations dealt with a year had soared from just 44 in 1991 to nearly 200 in recent years.
The union said that 2the culture of allegations isspreading".
"Thee is an increasingly prevalent attitude of pupils challenging teachers with comments asserting their legal rights and threats that they will make an allegation against the teacher if she seeks to reprimand them for their behaviour," it added.
"We were told of one seven-year-old child who was heard to say 'I will get you suspended' to the headteacher."
The report concludes: "Some allegations will be true. Some will be misconceived, for instance when a child or parent is unaware of a staff member's right in law to intervene or restrain and alleges assault.
"Some allegations will be unfounded but are triggered by circumstances elsewhere and are in effect cries for help and some are simply malicious and calculated to undermine a particular teacher."

I purchased these speakers to replace the door speakers in my 1999 Chevy Silverado X-cab. They are being pushed by a Kenwood KDC-210U head unit and sound great for the sweet low price of $14.99. They fit directly into the Silverado's speaker hole, and the holes even line up perfectly as advertised.
I'm also running a pair of Hitron HS-464 4x6s in the back, a Planet Audio 1000.2 amp pushing a pair of Sony Xplod 1100w tens in a center console box. Overall, the system is excellent for what I use it for, a budget system for daily use (nothing worth stealing LOL)
Since I'm running the speakers directly off the head unit, they will distort when cranked to full blast, but they will perform just fine at normal listening and 'elevated' volumes. I'm sure if they were run off of an amp they would sound even better.
I'm impressed with Planet Audio's products, and these speakers have managed to strengthen that impression. The speakers seem to be made from good quality materials, and SonicElectronix has the best price around.

My 2013 Ford Mustang has a "PHONE" button to sync my cell with it... But when I press the button nothing happens. Is it possible that my car doesn't come with bluetooth?

If the button is there then you should have that feature. What kind of phone do you have? I know Ford uses Microsoft Sync. If you have an iPhone it may not like that. Otherwise, take it to the dealership and tell them about it. You're probably still under warranty on that.
I had trouble with my phones in my Infinity. Went to Verizon and they had it working in 5 minutes. You have to have phone on scan and the car at the same time.
Thank you for the reply. I ended up calling the Ford house. They searched my VIN and my car does not have blue tooth installed. Unfortunately, they said it can not be installed either since they do it when they build the car. I'm sure it could be done tho ~ for the right price I'm sure
Actully it can't... well, maybe for a price no one would want to pay. It is a completely differeent module.
It doesn't make sense, why would they put a phone button then?! I'm having the same problem right now.
it's called mass production. When they build a car they include a lot of things that are not necessarily connected to use. Usually, for example, it will have a wiring harness that would run every item that is available on the car even if it is not ordered for it. Some cars have a dummy plate to cover unused switches.
