| Belgium: Dodge wants you to steam up the windows in the Journey | | 2008-06-01 18:36:00 | | When we read the tip from reader Thijs B. telling us that in Belgium, Dodge is planning a Journey launch promo centered around backseat baby-making, we thought it was a big joke. So we started using our Google powers to see what else we could dig up. And guess what? It's legit.If you go to babymadeonboard.be, you'll be greeted by the screen above, which features a play on those annoying "Baby On Board" window signs that were ubiquitous during the 80s. It's paired with a countdown timer that will zero out on the weekend of June 14, which is when the Dodge Journey officially launches in Belgium. A quick WHOIS lookup on DNS.be reveals that the site's domain name is registered to someone at the Brussels office of Proximity BBDO, a BBDO partner. BBDO is Chrysler's ad agency.More Googling led us to a Dodge press release posted on a Belgian media portal. The car is being targeted toward men, and its launch slogan roughly translates to "Become a father, stay a man." According to the PR, Dodge | | By: Car News | | |

| | UPDATE: The Stig NOT revealed... in Belgium? | | 2008-05-24 07:38:00 | | UPDATE: Thanks to a handful of readers, we received the image above showing Schrick and the Stig embodied in separate meat vessels. That means one of two things: Schrick is NOT the Stig or Top Gear employs several Stigs.Certain mysteries aren't meant to be solved, and when it comes to the Stig, ignorance is bliss. But when we got a tip about Top Gear's top test driver caught walking around without his trademark white helmet, we were simultaneously skeptical and intrigued.The Top Gear crew was caught on one of its legendary crap can races, this time with stripped-out compacts strapped to the roof, when someone wielding a video camera outside of the racetrack caught a glimpse of an unmasked driver wearing what is assumed to be the Stig's white racing suit and carrying a matching white helmet. The blurry shots appeared on Autoblog.nl (no relation) and the speculative efforts of the Dutch enthusiast community pegged the man behind the mask as ace test driver Tim Schrick.Schrick has had his | | By: Car News | | |

Next we headed Brussels. It took only half an hour from Antwerp to Brussels. It was an enjoyable trip and we continued to have very nice roads the entire way. But the most pathetic part was our bus driver lost his way. After an hour of indiscriminate running finally he found the bus stoppage.

The trip started off well at perfect time. The weather was very nice. After passing out of the city area the beautiful rural scene caught our sight. Small villages, extensive Green field, clear blue sky, wooden windmill all made the tour such pleasent that one you could have just expected.

| | New Belgium Set To Unveil Fat Tire Cans | | 2008-04-15 16:19:00 | | From 9news.com:DENVER (AP) - This summer, Colorado's New Belgium Brewing Co. plans to offer its flagship Fat Tire Amber Ale from something other than the tap or a glass bottle: an aluminum can.It looks like outdoor enthusiasts will soon have one more option for tasty "river beer" in the not-to-distant future. There's no word as to when they'll be available, but my source told me it's unlikely that we'll see them in Oregon until later this year.One other interesting tidbit from the article caught my eye:The Fat Tire that comes in cans will be "can-conditioned" with live yeast, so its flavor should not be affected, he said. Despite popular perceptions about canned beer, the company's taste tests show the canned version tastes the same as the bottled brew.With the recent surge in canned craft beers there's been discussion on the various beer geek sites regarding the feasibility of can-conditioning, and this seems to be a definitive answer to that question.

On November 9, 2005 Degauque became Al Qaeda’s first western female suicide bomber in Iraq when she drove an explosives-laden vehicle into an American military convoy on a highway north of Baghdad. No American soldiers were killed. The next day her husband, Issam Goris, who had accompanied her to Iraq was shot dead by U.S. forces...(read more) | | By: An American Warning | | |

| | new Miss Belgium | | 2007-12-17 08:51:24 | | She is Alizee Poulicek, the new Miss Belgium. She's 20 years old. She was booed by some of the 4,000 audience when she admitted that she could not understand a question put to her in Dutch at the contest on Saturday night in the main Flemish city of Antwerp. What about me? I could not speak Dutch either. Are those people gonna boo me too? Hehehe. I'm just kidding! I know they don't care, I'm not representing their country. But golly! look at her, she's quite good looking and she speaks French, Czech and English so spare her for not being very good of the Dutch language yet. She said she had been taking Dutch lessons before the contest and has pledged to improve her standard in one of Belgium's three official languages, along with French and German. *photo credit :AFP | | By: Life's Journey | | |

| | Belgium's Blind Crime Fighters | | 2007-11-20 10:59:00 | | Sacha Van Loo is not your typical cop. Although he is not entitled to carry a gun on the job or to make arrests, he is one of only six people in a special police force in Belgium. Van Loo is one of Europe's newest weapons in the global fight against terrorism, drug trafficking and organized crime. A blind Sherlock Holmes whose disability allows him to pick up clues sighted detectives does not see.Van Loo, 36, who has been blind since birth, is one of six blind police officers in a pioneering unit specializing in transcribing and analyzing surveillance recordings in criminal investigations. He also speaks seven languages, including Russian and Arabic.The blind police unit, which became operational in June, originated after Van Thielen heard about a blind police officer in the Netherlands. Van Thielen was looking for ways to improve community outreach, and he hoped that blind people would prove more adept than the sighted at listening to surveillance recordings and interpreting them.But | | By: Rant - Just Another Blog | | |
| | News story from Belgium that further demonstrates the idiocy of Islam | | 2007-11-01 22:17:26 | | Quote:
A Belgian anesthetist has filed a complaint against a Muslim who blocked him from entering the operating theatre where his wife was to undergo emergency surgery.
The woman was operated with the male doctor shouting instructions from a hallway to a female nurse
Doctor Philippe Becx from Bree, Belgium, was called to the hospital in the middle of the night because a woman had to undergo an emergeny caesarean section.
However, her husband blocked the door and demanded a female anesthetist. The latter was unavailable.
After a two-hour discussion proved fruitless, an imam was summoned. The imam permitted the doctor to apply an epidural injection, but only if the woman was fully covered with only a small area of skin showing.

| | | 2007 Belgium Grand Prix - Spa-Francorchamps, September 16 | | 2007-09-12 12:00:00 | | Aside from being the home to one of the greatest circuits on the Formula One calendar, Spa is recognised throughout the world for its water. The Romans were the first people to discover its natural springs deep in the Ardennes countryside, and people still visit the town today in search of hydrotherapy. The biggest industry in the town is the famous bottled water company, Spa. The mention of water is never far from people’s lips at the circuit, which is eight kilometres from the town. One of the most fearsome corners on the lap is Pouhon, which translates into English as ‘water well’ and the Ardennes has a micro-climate all of its own, hence rain tyres are never far from the cars. The bright lights of Liege and Brussels are a 40-minute and two-hour drive respectively, so there is something for everyone at the Belgian Grand Prix.The Belgian GP timetable The Belgian GP marks the 14th round of the 2007 season.

| | Hot 800m Action in Belgium Saturday | | 2007-07-27 10:07:28 | | Alan Webb is scheduled to race again on Saturday, July 28th, 2007 at the KBC Night of Athletics meet in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium. He will race in the 800m this time, taking on Gary Reed of Canada, Dutch European champs Bram Som (outdoors) and Arnout Okken (indoors) as well as Nick Symmonds of the USA. Since the 800m is not his specialty, Webb is in for a hot race. Will he be able to hold his own?Johnny Gray's American record of 1:42.60, set way back on August 28th, 1985, shouldn't be in jeopardy, but – with Webb in the shape of his life – you never know. He will certainly set a new PB. Reed and Som seem to be the class of the field, both boasting sub 1:44 personal bests, but Symmonds can claim a faster time than Som in 2007. Look for this race to be one of the highlights of the 2007 season. | | By: Finish Line Pundit: A Track & Field Blog | | |
| | | Rumble: Sailing in Belgium Summer Weather | | 2007-07-06 15:53:00 | | I am on holiday, home in Belgium at the moment. We are soon off for our annual holiday, this time to St.Martin in the Caribbean where we are chartering a boat to sail around for almost a month. This week I needed to practice some of the skills I need to skipper a boat..Unfortunately when we set out for our practice course in Nieuwpoort on the Belgian coast, the weather did not cooperate. Wind, rain, hail, lightning and thunder, we had it all!! Look at the picture, how Lana and Hannah were dressed. You would not say it was summer, right?The good thing was, for one hour, in the afternoon, the skies opened up, and the beauty of sailing comes out in its best.. I love the Belgian coast.
