Europe certainly does charm one easily with its cafes, chocolates, and that otherworldliness that is somehow familiar yet distinct from everything American.

Many years ago, travelling in Belgium, I heard a story in a pub about Camel cigarettes.

Good morning!Belgian Waffles are made with a yeast leavened batter, which requires a little more work (and time) than American waffles.

Com raízes que remontam ao século 18, as Belgian Ale atingiram o auge no final da 2ª Guerra Mundial. Na Europa, é considerado um tipo de cerveja para todas as ocasiões, ao contrário das Belgian Strong Ales, suas "parentes". "Nas Belgian Ale nada deve ser muito pronunciado: o equilíbrio entre os diversos elementos é a chave do sucesso", explica Bruno Aquino, do site CdM (www.cervejasdomundo.com). O produto pode ir de um amarelo dourado até à cor de cobre, com boa presença de frutas, malte e especiarias, tanto no aroma como no sabor. Têm espuma branca, cremosa e não muito duradoura. Exemplos são a Palm Speciale, a Vieux-Temps e a Ommegang Rare Vos (foto).

Or any other wet country. The picture above I took at noon time today, during a hail storm. Luckily, one week from now, we're off skiing in the North of Italy...
Belgium has answered the U.S. call for more troops in Afghanistan. In February, Brussels committed to sending four F-16 fighter planes and 100 more soldiers to the south of Afghanistan. It's not exactly a cushy assignment. The region is in turmoil because of the Taliban's resurgence. In contrast to Belgium's enthusiasm, Germany has rejected the U.S. request for more NATO troops to “secure”
In the small zoo in the Belgian town Olmen-Balen, the Olmense Zoo, a lion dug up an explosive this Monday. Simba the lion found the grenade in a pile of sand, dumped on the terrain earlier by construction workers. The sand was supposed to be used in the construction of new animal housing right across the lion's cage. During the afternoon, the zoo owner noticed Simba showing unusual interest at an object in the pile of sand. " When I took a closer look, I saw a grenade was sticking out. We had to get the lions out of the cage first, then we were able to safely take out the grenade. At the moment a large steel fence is placed around the dangerous spot." Interesting note: a couple years ago, the zoo was also in the news when a grenade was found inside. You can visit the Olmense

It's open, ready for the Crewe public and I must say it looks the business. A mix between a cosy pub and, say, Square One, the new cafe bar is intimate but has enough room to accommodate large groups of people - and they're extending upstairs. I popped in late morning and grabbed a coffee, but beer and lager fans will be delighted to learn that there's an impressive array of cask ales, continental bottled beers and a good range of draughts. It's also housed in one of those stunning old railway era buildings that, thankfully, have survived demolition over the years. They're a friendly team and have already been visited by the cast from this year's panto, Beauty and the Beast. So if you're in town around the central pubs (like the Waldron, Three Lamps, Borough Arms etc) then pop down Prince Albert Street and give this new Crewe venture a try... .The bar will also be featuring on the Crewe pubs site so your feedback is much appreciated.
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 nurseDoctor 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.During the surgery itself, performed by a female gynecologist, the anesthetist was to remain in the hallway. Through a door that was slightly ajar, he shouted instructions to a nurse who was monitoring the anesthesia.According the hospital’s directors, the doctor acted with

Well ahead of its initial schedule, PROPRIATIS proposes as of today on its website www.propriatis.com its first real estate goods on the Belgian market.Already very well introduced on the French market, PROPRIATIS advances arguments which will convince a growing number of investors (residential and corporate) that there is a real estate market beyond the French borders.Bruno de GRAEVE, its manager and founder, confirms that Belgium is among the least expensive countries in Europe, with an average acquisition price of € 182.2OO for real estate in the capital Brussels.PROPRIATIS also wants its clients to benefit from very superior returns on investment on the Belgian market in comparison with other main European markets.
A Belgian teenager has been sentenced to life imprisonment for killing a Malian nanny and her two-year-old charge in a racist shooting spree. An Antwerp court found Hans van Themsche guilty of killing Oulematou Niangadou and then shooting toddler Luna Drowart when she started crying. Van Themsche, 19, also shot and wounded a woman of Turkish descent during his rampage in central Antwerp in May 2006. He was stopped when a policeman shot him in the stomach. He later told police he had hoped to kill at least five foreigners before dying in a hail of police bullets. The jury rejected a defence argument that Van Themsche was mentally ill. Right-wing links "You acted with blind violence, without any respect for the lives and integrity of others," judge Michel Jordens said. "You reduced the value of life to nothing in order to affirm yourself," he said. Police say Van Themsche's father helped found the now defunct anti-immigration party Vlaams Blok, and his
Beer. Burgers. Mussels. Why mess with a good thing? Fergus Carey and Tom Peters have been at the forefront of Philadelphia’s gastro-pub movement since 1985, when Carey founded Fergie’s Pub at 12th & Sansom. The duo’s latest endeavor is The Belgian Café, recently opened in the old digs of Tavern on Green at 21st and Green Streets in Fairmount.One couldn’t be faulted for thinking of their new spot as “Monk’s West.” Both the menu and the beer list read like abridged versions of the tomes at Center City’s Monk’s Café. There’s a strong focus on burgers and moules frites, with a prodigious selection of vegetarian/vegan options but an otherwise pared down selection of bar snacks, sandwiches and main plates. As at Monk’s, and as the restaurant’s moniker suggests, there’s a strong Belgian bent to the beer list, which is clearly dominated by a broad, careful selection of Belgian ales, rounded out by some local brews and a smattering of options from Germany, Ho

Gates of Vienna has this article on the depiction of Jesus in a Belgian commercial. It seems natural for non-Christians to hate Christianity. It takes a certain level of politeness and charity to not insult the weak (European Christianity). Dymphna makes the point that the makers of the commercial would never make such a commercial about Mohamed. That's probably true. Of course, they shouldn't do that as well.
by: Anthony BenjaminComics And Comic Books - France and Belgium are two countries with a long history of comics and comic books. They are called Bande Dessinée in French. Belgian comic books on the other hand were first printed in Dutch are greatly influenced by Francophone comics, but still have their very unique style.La bande dessinée comes from the sentence: art form as drawn strips which is literally translated as the drawn strip. It's English equivalent, the word "bande" can be both film and comics. It's not insignificant the French term comic contains no indication of subject matter, unlike the American term "comic," which implies a form of art not to be taken seriously.For more information on comics visit:http://www.mysecretsites.infoRelative to the size of their populations, the innumerable authors that are in France and Belgium publish a vary high number of Franco-Belgian comics. In North America, the Franco-Belgian comics are a lot more serious and are often seen to be g
The 2007 Belgian GP hardly can be called a classic race, but it was sure one of the better ones this season, with quite a bit of an on track action. Most of it was down the grid though …Ferraris were class of the field this weekend, clearly better than McLarens. This was quite a turnaround after Monza, but that’s what we got used to this year. Both teams are very close and the pendulum swings from track to track…We had no serious carnage at the start this time, however the stunt Alonso pulled on Hamilton could have caused one. Whether the move was deliberate I am not able to tell, but it sort of looked like it. This was something I would understand if the car next Alonso was all red, but doing this to a team mate is quite unexpected. It looks like Ron Dennis prefers this season to end as peacefully as possible. He told ITV:"It was absolutely fine.They weren't too aggressive and they're racing drivers. No-one would blink if it was opposing teams."Exactly, no one would blink if i
