About us…
Boardgame Monkeys is organizing events for beginner to experienced boardgames expats in Brussels.
Find us: Website - Facebook - Twitter
The members are English/French/Spanish ... speaking (sessions mostly in English) and always looking to meet new boardgames enthusiasts.
We participate to both open events (organized by boardgame clubs & shops in the Brussels area) and private events (invite-based only). We meet usually during week-evenings or weekends.
We play all kinds of games, from Agricola, Yspahan, Small World to Settlers of Catan, Dominion, Munchkin, Carcassonne, 7 Wonders, Race for the galaxy, Ticket to ride and many many more. We love all types of board- and cardgames, and although we have mostly moved beyond the simplest games like Monopoly and Scrabble, we're always exited to try out what we call "modern boardgames"..
We hope this will be a group where you can share great social evenings with us, trying out new games and expanding your horizons together with a friendly group of people, a lot of fun and amusement.
To fully enjoy our activities, all members should be able to understand common every-day English (make themselves understood), but perfect English is not required :-) .

Lathering Tube Soap isn't a true soap, but the name is apropos for the apothecary-style packaging chosen for this product. This is a standard foaming cleanser that uses the soap derivative potassium myristate as the main cleansing agent, one that can be drying and sensitizing for some skin types. However, this cleanser also contains a battery of nonirritating plant oils for extra cushioning while cleansing. There are minute amounts of lavender, jasmine, and grapefruit for fragrance, but likely not enough to be problematic. Though pricey, this is still a decent cleansing option for normal to slightly dry skin.
A unique soap formula with a rich, luxurious lathering action that lifts off makeup and dirt. A Coconut Extract derivative cleanses deeply, yet gently, while Apricot Oil hydrates and cushions skin for an incredibly clean, soft, and refreshed feeling. Lathering Tube Soap works especially well for combination skin. Dermatologist and Ophthalmologist tested.

Bobbi Brown At-A-Glance
Strengths: A good cleanser and eye makeup removers; some impressive foundations, with options for all skin types and preferences; very good blushes and eyeshadows (powder and cream); several top-notch mascaras; the Gel Eyeliner and Shimmer Brick are impressive; mostly excellent brushes..
Weaknesses: As with most Lauder-owned companies, the well-formulated moisturizers are hindered by jar packaging, which compromises the effectiveness of light- and air-sensitive ingredients; several otherwise effective products marred by irritating fragrant oils or fragrance components; concealers and lip glosses are unimpressive; CC cream leaves skin looking worse, not better.
It all began with lipsticks. In 1991, New York based makeup artist Bobbi Brown debuted a collection of ten lipsticks at Bergdorf Goodman, expecting to sell about one hundred units in a month. She sold more than that the first day. From there, it's been mostly success after success, as Brown launched her classic foundation stick, wrote her first book, Bobbi Brown Beauty The Ultimate Beauty Resource, and enjoyed continued attention as an in-demand makeup artist and beauty educator.
The popularity of the line, particularly the makeup, did not go unnoticed by Estee Lauder, who acquired Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in 1995. Since Lauder has been at the helm the line has expanded well beyond what Brown likely envisioned back in the early 1990s, and it now includes fragrance and body-care products, among others. Yet it is Brown's makeup that continues to excel with superior foundations (though the ones without sufficient UVA protection disappoint), true matte blushes and eyeshadows, and with all of the other basics that are essential to a woman's classic makeup wardrobe. It isn't the least bit surprising that this makeup collection continues to do so well, because for many women, it's one-stop shopping that combines classic makeup application techniques with enough fun-yet-functional products to keep customer's interest piqued season to season.
Turning to the skin-care collection, there isn't a great deal to say or extol. The prices are rather steep, especially when you consider how many well-intentioned products use jar packaging, and fragrant irritants are a common thread, including in most of the sunscreens, which is a shame. Color is Bobbi Brown's strong point, but you will find a few sleeper hits among the selection of mostly inadequate or problematic skin-care products.

Bobbi Brown Makeup
We admire Brown's latest philosophy on beauty. She says, "The secret to beauty is simple—be who you are." No arguments here! However, it's clear from promotional materials for this line that Brown believes being who you are should involve some amount of makeup, a concept many women may disagree with. Still, there's no question that the right makeup, applied and blended correctly, can make a world of positive difference to a woman, and in this regard Brown's counter staff is well-prepared. It was nice to overhear the makeup artists explaining step-by-step application tips to customers, rather than just pushing products. With just a few exceptions, this is a makeup collection its namesake creator should be proud of—not only for the products, but also for the level of service and education provided.

Apple Inc. plans to include short-range wireless technology in its coming smartwatch, according to people familiar with the matter, signaling that it sees a role for the device in digital payments.

Xiaomi's plan for world domination of the smartphone market expanded with its first foray in Indonesia, after a few thousand units of the Chinese mobile-phone maker's latest budget handset were sold online in a matter of minutes on Thursday.
Through the online shopping platform Lazada, Xiaomi sold 5,000 units of Redmi 1S in less than seven minutes, according to a statement on Xiaomi's official Facebook page.
Acer has partnered with Gome Electrical Appliances, an IT and consumer electronics retail chain in China, for the latter to sell Acer desktops, notebooks, AIO (all-in-one) PCs, tablets and projectors there, according to China-based tech.qq.com.
More than 1.25 billion smartphones will be shipped worldwide in 2014, representing a 23.8% increase from the 1.01 billion units shipped in 2013, according to a new mobile phone forecast from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker
Looking ahead, the research firm said total volumes are forecast to reach 1.8 billion units in 2018, resulting in a 12.7 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 2013–2018 forecast period.
Samsung Electronics is in dire need of crisis management, analysts say, as ineffective product differentiation sparks margin erosion and a decline in market share.
Until recently the world's largest smartphone marker was considered an unstoppable force. However, with key rival Apple getting its groove back and intensifying competition from low-end handset manufactures in emerging markets, things don't look so rosy anymore.
Flipkart, in collaboration with Intel, launched five tablets under its in-house brand Digiflip Pro on Wednesday. The new range of next-gen tablets - ET 701, XT 811, XT 801, XT 911 and XT 901 - are powered by Intel Atom processors. Priced between Rs 5,999 and Rs 15,999, these will be available only on Flipkart.
The overall 8 percent decline in notebook sales volume in Taiwan did not affect the fast rising popularity of gaming models as well as the 2-in-1 devices in the first six months of 2014 when compared with the same time period a year ago, according to research firm GfK.
One of Myer's most senior executives, Tony Sutton, says the department store chain is likely to keep shrinking the size of its electronics departments and devote more floor space to other categories because electronics sales continue to be soft.
Malaysian consumers are trading big sized tablets for 7-8.9 inch ones, while LTE models are gaining popularity.
These are among the trends that are driving the continued growth in sales of tablets in the country, according to the latest Retail audit data by GfK.
From January to June this year, over 625,000 units of media tablets were sold in the country, generating USD201 million in revenue. This represents an 18 percent surge in volume turnover compared to the same period in 2013.
Clevo is currently in talks with China-based Tencent and Alibaba, looking to establish partnerships to integrate the physical channel retail business with the online shopping business, according to Clevo CSO Andrew Lin.

2010 Outlook
Before Nebraska (Cardinal Mooney HS)
In the state title game against St. Francis DeSales, Heard rushed for 178 yards on 28 carries, including touchdown runs of 53 and 26 yards. He also had a touchdown pass and an interception. His play as a senior earned Heard first-team All-Ohio honors as a running back.
During his junior season, Heard excelled on both sides of the ball. He rushed for 959 yards and eight touchdowns, while playing a big role in the secondary, including a pair of interceptions. His defensive effort earned Heard Division IV All-Ohio honors as a cornerback. Heard was also part of a state champion 4x100 meter relay team at Mooney.
Heard was rated among the top five running backs in the country according to Rivals.com. The service also ranked him among the top five players in Ohio and the top 60 overall recruits nationally. Scout.com ranked him among the top 35 running backs in the country.
Heard's signing marked the second time in three years NU signed a player from the school, as NU inked receiver Tim Marlowe in 2008. Nebraska Head Coach Bo Pelini, defensive coordinator Carl Pelini and running backs coach Tim Beck are all graduates of Cardinal Mooney High.
Heard chose Nebraska over offers from numerous schools, including Penn State, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and West Virginia to name a few.

Major pluck at banjo exhibit & concert series
From Taylor Swift & Mumford & Sons to La Jolla High alum Alison Brown, the banjo & its practitoners grow ever more diverse. Now, Museum of Making Music explores all things banjo.
The exhibit features about 80 banjos, of which 50 are vintage and 30 are new or recent. The oldest was made in 1855 by William Boucher, a Baltimore-based instrument maker. He became the nation's first commercial banjo manufacturer. He also helped standardize the design of the banjo as it morphed from a rural instrument musicians made themselves to a more widely produced product.
Then there's a cello banjo, which is tuned like a cello but played like a banjo, along with Irish tenor banjos, state-of-the-art electric banjos and a mid-1950s Rickenbacker Banjoline, which is equal parts guitar and banjo. In addition, at least three banjos will be available for museum visitors to play.
This hands-on element has long been essential at the museum, which operates under the auspices of the National Association of Music Merchants and is based in NAMM's Carlsbad headquarters. In any setting, though, this exhibit is different in its scope and comprehensive presentation.
"An exhibit like this is very unusual," said national banjo scholar, author and college music professor Dick Wesissman.
A veteran musician whose recording credits as a banjo player includes albums by Jose Feliciano, Connie Francis and the duo of Jim & Ingrid Croce. He served as a consultant for the exhibit.
"To my knowledge, an exhibit like this has never been done before," Weissman, 79, said from his home in Denver.
"The timing is ideal. Country-pop is now welcoming the banjo, which it never used to do. In the old days, it was only for a little bluegrass color. Now you hear (banjos) more and more. In the past, when you did hear a banjo, it was a 15-second solo. Now you hear it as an instrument on a lot of songs. I think Mumford & Sons have a lot to do with that, because they use the banjo as much as a rhythm instrument as they do solo instrument.
"Plus, there are really great players now, who elicit the reaction from audiences: 'I didn't know the banjo could do that!' Béla Fleck has played with (jazz piano great) Chick Corea and the Cleveland Symphony. And the banjo is being used more and more in World Music, too. It doesn't need to be imprisoned by narrow stereotypes."
In the 1950s, the hugely influential bluegrass banjo master Earl Scruggs was one of the first to defy the stereotypes associated with the instrument that was long synonymous with his name.
"Someone said once the banjo was a `clown's instrument,' because when I was growing up they used it in comedy routines," Scruggs said in a 2003 U-T San Diego interview, years before his death at the age of 88 in 2012. "But I had no interest or talent in comedy."
Not surprisingly, museum director Grant — a classically trained pianist with a degree in French — shares the goal of changing the perceptions of the banjo.
"I know there are stereotypes," she said. "I hope we can open people's eyes and ears to the musical possibilities of the banjo.

DHS is working on a system to collect fingerprints from foreign nationals when they leave the country, but progress is coming very slowly. (Stock image)
The Department of Homeland Security will soon put the finishing touches on a plan for a biometric identification system intended to help track visa overstays.
Jim Crumpacker, director of DHS' Departmental GAO-IG Liaison Office, told the Government Accountability Office that Customs and Border Protection's Office of Field Operations and DHS' Science and Technology Directorate will come up with goals aimed at creating and implementing a biometric air exit identification system for use at U.S. airports by Jan. 31, 2014.
Get the GAO report.
The agency has been contemplating a visa exit system for years that would electronically collect fingerprints from foreign visitors when they leave the United States. Real progress on the system, however, has been glacial. In 2004, the commission that investigated the 2001 terrorist attacks recommended using a biometrics-based system to keep track of visa exits. In 2007, Congress gave DHS a deadline of June 30, 2009, to put such a system in place.
DHS missed that deadline but implemented a pilot program that year for a biometric exit system that integrated non-U.S. citizen departure information with existing arrival information. The Air Exit pilot, conducted at the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County and Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson airports, ran from May to July 2009. DHS then submitted a report to Congress on the test. In 2011, DHS' Science and Technology Directorate began researching long-term options for biometric exit. In May 2012, DHS reported internally on the results of S&T's analysis and made recommendations to support the planning and development of a biometric air exit capability.
Crumpacker's letter, included in a July GAO visa overstay audit, also said efforts to evaluate biometric identification systems across his agency have become more complex. Responsibilities to improve and enforce visa overstays under the U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology program have been split between CBP and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Crumpacker said DHS would establish a new working group to evaluate visa overstays with ICE in the lead.
The GAO audit found DHS initially made progress in reducing a backlog of 1.6 million arrival records that didn't have corresponding departure records, closing about 863,000 records in that backlog.
However, GAO said as new unmatched arrival records have accrued, DHS has had trouble keeping up. The audit reported that as of June 2013, unmatched arrival records once again totaled more than 1 million.

My favourite accessories trends of 2013!
Well, it all began with the cuff — we cuffed our heels and our wrists in some serious jewels. Then almost overnight, it was teeny-tiny microscopic jewellery with cute accents. The tiny bag followed suit, while the diva in us resurrected heavy gold embellished jewels to balance out all the small things.
In short, it was a roller-coaster of two extremes; whether you were one to rock an OTT chandelier earring or prefer itsy-bitsy invisible necklaces, it was a year of classy trends where big or small, they spoke for your look. Here's a peek:
All the small things: Teensy-weensy trinkets that make a statement
Chandelier Chic: This season's most dramatic accessory
Luxe Cuffs: 18 statement cuffs guaranteed to impress
Good as gold: Your OTT jewellery guide to feeling festive
Pump, pump it up: Party season pumps under $100
Honey, I shrunk my bag: We put the magnifying glass to this petite trend
When in Rome: This season's hottest trend is divine!
Holographic clutches: The best futuristic arm-candy around
Wild Things: 15 crazy-cute animal inspired jewellery pieces
Ankle Cuff Heels: 21 leg hugging shoes that'll knock em' dead
What do you think of these accessories trends? Which did you rock? Tell us in the comments below!

Hey, Good-Lookin
You might recognize dreadlocked hottie Govind Armstrong from Iron Chef America, or maybe you first laid eyes on him in People magazines 50 Most Beautiful People issue a few years back. He is recognized for his handsomeness but celebrated for his cooking skills. As the owner of the acclaimed restaurant Table 8, and an up-and-coming celebrity chef, Armstrong is surprisingly modest and honest. He likes his cooking the same way. His first cookbook, Small Bites, Big Nights, takes the concept of tapas but doesnt get bogged down in ethnic culinary labels and such.
I steer away from that. Some of my dishes have a Spanish or Tuscan influence, but my cuisine is all ingredient-driven. Its seasonal. So how would you describe your cuisine, Govind? Uh ... like I said, ingredient-driven, he retorts with a disarming laugh. In my style of food, I keep things clean and simple and focused. Its all about simple plates and enjoying the flavors. Were looking forward to meeting Govind and enjoying the flavors on hand at the Crown. The special book signing and cocktail party will take place from 6:00 to 8:30, with an afterparty at his restaurant, Table 8 (1458 Ocean Dr., Miami Beach). Visit www.table8la.com.

"I envisioned it as a museum," said County Council Chairman Rudy Carter, as he watched the fire Monday morning.
"If we don't get structural collapse, it's still a possibility," County Administrator Steve Willis told Carter.
Rebuilding may be difficult
The county has a lot of factors to consider if it decides to rebuild the courthouse into a working courthouse, Willis said.
County employees received praise from many Monday and Tuesday for their actions in wake of the Lancaster County Courthouse fire.
Many praised the work of the city and county firefighters who worked side by side for hours battling the blaze.
Firefighters received much thanks during a special County Council meeting Tuesday.
"I give a special thank you to the fire departments," Councilman Bryan Vaughn said. "I appreciate how much they did."
"They were all sweating and fighting to save that building," Councilman Fred Thomas said. "I was ultimately impressed."
Lindsay Pettus remembers driving to the city of Lancaster in 1979 from his Indian Land home when the city's jail caught fire.
The Lancaster County history buff drove to Lancaster from his home in Sun City Carolina Lakes with the same sick feeling Monday morning.
"I remember both trips down here with a heavy heart," Pettus said, watching as firefighters on a ladder truck poured water onto the roof.
"I was shocked when I saw the roof was gone," Pettus said. "I was expecting it to be bad, but it was worse."
A spare black Bible kept in a cabinet on the second floor of the Lancaster County Courthouse was used to administer oaths during court proceedings Tuesday.
Unlike stacks of records and other materials, the Bible survived the fire that destroyed much of the historic courthouse Monday morning.
A two-week court term was slated to start Monday at the courthouse, but was moved to the courtroom at the Municipal Justice Center on Arch Street. Despite a sudden change of venue, things appeared to flow normally Tuesday morning.
Proceedings were scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m.
County Council talked about rebuilding the Lancaster County Courthouse at a special meeting on Tuesday.
Council members also talked about short-term solutions, such as where to put the 10 or so solicitor's office, clerk of court and public defender office employees displaced by the fire.
General sessions court, which had been scheduled to begin Monday, went on Tuesday morning at the Municipal Justice Center courtroom.
Court officials worked in temporary offices in the basement of the Lancaster County Administration Building.
Blackened roof beams hovered like a skeleton above the brick walls of the Lancaster County Courthouse on Tuesday.
The beams and a few slate shingles are all that's left of the roof of the historic building, built in 1828.
The courtroom was set on fire early Monday morning by an arsonist. The building's original judge's bench is a charred shell.
Lancaster County has lost a piece of history in the death of Lancaster City Councilman Preston Blackmon
He died Saturday at age 82.
Blackmon served on council for 31 years, possibly making him Lancaster's longest serving councilman. He was the second black man elected to City Council.
He represented District 1 in a fair and just manner, said City Councilman Audrey Curry Jr., who represents District 3.
Filing for City Council Districts 3, 4 and 6, and Lancaster County school board Districts 2, 4 and 6 opened at noon Friday.
Candidates who announced they were running for Lancaster City Council seats in July officially entered the race on Friday.
Here's who filed for City Council:
– District 3 – incumbent Audrey Curry and former City Councilwoman Linda Blackmon-Brace
– District 4 – incumbent Bill Sumner and political newcomer Tamara Green
- District 6 – John Griffin
Ron Garrett of the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control said he recently spent the night in a trailer near the Brookchase neighborhood in Indian Land.
Garrett has been acting as a mediator between Brookchase residents and the concrete plants in 521 Perimeter Commerce Park.
Residents of Brookchase and nearby Lakeview Landing say the plants generate large amounts of noise and dust.
Garrett updated County Council members on measures being taken to reach a solution between the plants and residents Monday night.
A Lancaster native has landed a role in an independent movie filmed largely in Columbia.
The Rev. Stanley Truesdale, who now lives in Columbia, has a role in the movie "Nailed," which stars Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal.
The political satire is about a woman who gets a nail lodged in her head and travels to Washington, D.C., to fight for better health care. While there, she falls in love with a congressman (Gyllenhaal) who advocates for her cause.

John Key
3 February, 2009
Fixing RMA crucial to future growth
Prime Minister John Key today announced the first phase of the Government's reforms to simplify and streamline the Resource Management Act.
"The RMA has been a source of huge frustration and National gave a commitment that it would introduce legislation within our first 100 days in office.
"New Zealand depends on the sustainable use of our natural resources for our economic well being. That's why the RMA is so crucial.
"But the RMA has been a handbrake on growth. It has led to uncertainty around developments and stalled projects, including those of national importance. We need to unlock that lost growth potential and untangle the red tape suffocating everyone from homeowners to businesses.
"These reforms are long overdue, and the current economic climate adds fresh urgency to the changes. We need to remove the barriers that stand in the way of improving New Zealand's infrastructure and the creation of new industries and jobs. Reforming the RMA will help ensure the future prosperity of our country.
"I acknowledge the work of the technical advisory group, which was set up as a result of the confidence and supply agreement with Act.
"The reforms strike a sensible balance that delivers on our environmental responsibilities and allows us to seize economic opportunities. It also preserves the rights of communities to have a fair say.
"The Government is committed to future-proofing New Zealand's regulatory framework and dealing with the red tape.
"If we are to succeed as a nation, we need to work out ways to grow our economy without compromising our environment. I am confident these reforms achieve that balance."

- 2 - 2 1/8" x 1 3/8" Click paper #001924
- 5 7/8" X 2 1/8" Ruffin It paper #001922

- If cutting your own wood, you'll need to cut a 1/2" groove on a slant, approximately 1/2" from front edge of block. This is where the metal piece will slide in.
- Note: Most heating/cooling places will cut the metal sheets for you at a very low cost.
- Ink edges of all trimmed papers using the chestnut roan chalk ink.
- Mod podge paper over wood block and set aside to dry.
- Apply camera rub-on to corner of sheet metal (or decorate as you'd like).
- Using i-top tool and medium magnet daddies, create 2-3 magnets. we punched ours from the Click and Ruffin' It papers.
- Once you've created your magnets, apply a thin coating of Crystal Laquer over the paper and let dry. This will give your magnets a shiny appearance like the one seen to the right.

Excuse me for asking, Liz dear, but where the Blinkin' Blimmin Heck were you????? No one she could call
You couldn't possibly pop round and switch the heating on, buy a loaf of bread and a pint of milk for her? Or, if you're too busy being frightfully important (as well as
"funny, kind, generous and interesting"
) perhaps pay your assistant to do it? Enjoy your vat of gin.
This is the sister she wrote about just before Christmas and said she was an alcoholic.
But there are always two sides to every story. My sister, once admitted with her fractured hip,
suffered from alcohol withdrawal
the most common cause of breaks in limbs in the over-60 woman.
This is followed by extreme cold in the limbs which, as most women of this age dont have pensions or a husband, is as endemic as vodka.
No wonder her family don't want anything to do with her when she puts all their faults and problems in print. And what in the name of all that's holy is the second paragraph about?

Russell Armstrong's family didn't attend the memorial his estranged wife, Taylor Armstrong, had for him on in Los Angeles on Wednesday because they'd been planning one on their own in Texas all along, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
According to a very close family member, who wishes to remain anonymous to avoid further drama, a couple of family members were sent to L.A. to pick-up Russell's ashes so they can have their own memorial on Saturday.
"The family will be holding a very private memorial for Russell on Saturday and it's been made clear that Taylor is not to be invited," the family member told RadarOnline.com.
PHOTOS: Russell Armstrong and Taylor Armstrong In Happier Times
"Most of the family was never very fond of Taylor and we'd just prefer to have a non-dramatic memorial where we can honor and love Russell as we knew him."
As RadarOnline.com first reported, Russell's family was not present during Wednesday's memorial at Forest Lawn in the Hollywood Hills, though most of his Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-stars were.
"Let's face it, there is no love lost between Taylor and Russell's family. Russell's family wanted no part of the memorial, they felt it was all for Taylor," a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com.

"Taylor was relieved that they didn't attend. She wanted to be surrounded by her friends and just say good-bye to Russell."
Russell, 47, was found hanged on August 15 in the bedroom of a friend's Mulholland Drive home where he was staying.
Authorities have ruled his death a suicide.

Chipped Paint Crater
October 12, 2009
In the high northern latitudes NW of Alba Patera, a smooth mantle of material that covers the landscape appears chipped away from the rim of a large crater. The prominent scarp that has formed from the retreat of the mantle lacks the rounded appearance of other ice-rich mantles found in the mid-latitudes. The nature of this mantling layer therefore is more enigmatic.

Kevin Gausman
Preview: Orioles At Cubs
While Baltimore's 161 homers lead the majors by a comfortable margin, that power has overshadowed an outstanding run by the pitching staff.
Steve Davis: O's Pitching Unheralded And Unbeatable
The Orioles 5 man rotation of Tillman, Norris, Chen, Gausman and Gonzalez might only have one All-Star appearance among them right now, that would be Tillman last year, but they're pitching like stars.
Gausman, Orioles Avoid Sweep, Beat Indians 4-1
For much of the weekend, Baltimore didn't look like a division leader or contender. They were ordinary Orioles. One inning salvaged them.
Orioles Bats Go Silent In 8-3 Loss To Cardinals
The Baltimore Orioles apparently drained all the big hits from their bats while having their way with St. Louis Cardinals in two straight blowouts.
Preview: Orioles At Nationals
Kevin Gausman (5-3, 3.70) takes the mound for Baltimore looking to build on Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels.
Gausman Sharp As Orioles Beat Angels 4-3
For much of the first half of the season, the Baltimore Orioles were selective and cautious with their use of rookie Kevin Gausman.
Preview: Angels Vs. Orioles
Machado and the Orioles figure to be in for another close encounter Wednesday night when they face 11-game winner Garrett Richards and the visiting Los Angeles Angels.
Preview: Orioles At Mariners
While they should be feeling confident with their AL Cy Young candidate on the mound, the Seattle Mariners are hoping a familiar face can provide a boost for their sluggish offense.
Bob Haynie: Do The Orioles Need Another Starter?
When we hear the Baltimore Orioles mentioned in trade rumors, it's usually about their pursuit of a starting pitcher. But are the pitchers mentioned really an upgrade?
Jim Duquette Talking Baseball
Whatever the Orioles are thinking, they are going to make one and they need an upgrade. Miguel Gonzales has also been up in the air to trade from the Orioles. Although Britton has been doing well, neither him or Ryan Webb may not be the answer for the Oriole, pitching wise. Orioles should probably look into a left handed pitcher. Some names thrown out there: Mike Dunn, from Miami Marlins, and Brad Ziegler, from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Whatever it is, a lefty would be great but the O's are not going to give up Gausman or Bundy.
Sports Rehab: Bill Ripken Talking Orioles

Complex balancing act in stellar 'dramedy'
"Four sisters and A Wedding" occasionally goes off the rails when it takes protracted strides to give equal exposure to its lead actresses: Bea Alonzo, Toni Gonzaga, Shaina Magdayao and Angel Locsin. But, we have to give props to director Cathy Garcia-Molina for pulling off a high-wire balancing act without scrimping on the chatty—and catty—charms of her cinematic muses.
The feat isn't an easy one: Molina is tasked to tell the tale of Teddie Salazar (Gonzaga) and her sisters, Bobbie (Alonzo), Alex (Locsin) and Gabbie (Magdayao), who must come together to stop the wedding of 23-year-old CJ (Enchong Dee), their only brother, to Princess (Angeline Quinto)—whose affluent family is deemed too loony for their taste. The tension escalates further when Princess' parents (Boboy Garrovillo, Carmi Martin) ask CJ to sign a prenuptial agreement!
The movie relies heavily on this limiting and surprisingly turgid central conflict as it weaves the sisters' back stories together: Teddie, the eldest of the supposedly overachieving brood, used to work as a teacher in Spain, until she was laid off during the global economic crunch, because she simply wasn't good enough. She has kept her new jobs under wraps—as a waitress and housekeeper!
Traumatic breakup
New York-based Bobbie is smart and foolish in equal measure. She's successful and driven, but her careworn melancholy, fuelled by a previous traumatic breakup, prevents her from fully committing to Tristan (Sam Milby), who repeatedly asks for her hand in marriage.
Alex is the underachieving sister who moonlights as an assistant director in indie films. She used to be Bobbie's confidant—until she fell in love with Chad (Bernard Palanca), Bobbie's rocker ex-boyfriend! Teacher Gabbie has opted to stay home to look after their mom (Coney Reyes).
Molina juggles the complex balancing act as she executes her fizzily fresh take on sibling love and estrangement—a theme that she uses effectively as an emotional conduit for the siblings' complementary stories.
The film takes a stronger and more excoriating tone when its protagonists' unspoken issues come to light—but, the disparate themes give the production little time to focus on any of its conflicts. So, Bea, Angel and company end up intoning mouthfuls of monologues in extended, declarative scenes to tie up loose ends.
On point of performance, the fearless Bea comes off best as she limns Bobbie's insecurities with sensitivity, consistency and panache—and it doesn't hurt that she's lovelier than ever!
Angel also does well in a focused portrayal that is devoid of ego and vanity—you can sense her stepping back when the "spotlight" is on her co-actresses. Shaina acquits herself well, although she really isn't required to do much.
Gonzaga isn't as textured, however, because her broader and more impish approach to characterization compromises her believability when she's required to reveal Teddie's vulnerable side.
She does shine in her cathartic scene with the adorable Janus del Prado, so we know that there's more to Toni than her winkingly gleeful antics. —Indeed, a little judiciousness goes a long way!

I'm writing a program that needs to read and write lots of data in random order, and since I don't want to use hundreds of small files, I'm trying to develop a sort of virtual file system that writes to one large file that keeps track of where the "files" are in the "disk" file.
Thus, I've been trying to find detailed information about file system implementations, but theres one thing that never seems to be explained in a way I can understand: How does the file system track free/deleted sectors for new file creation? FAT, for example, has an index of all sectors at the beginning that seems to be the only place that holds this information, but searching the index for a new area of free space in a linear, O(n) fashion seems like it would be rather inefficient, especially if there are no deleted sectors and you have to insert something at the end of the list. Am I missing something, or is this is how file systems really detect unused sectors for writing? Thanks!

Enhance your spectacle collection in anticipation of the backyard barbeques and volleyball matches happening in the near future with the Oakley Holbrook Sunglasses. See the spikes with the UV ray-filtering Plutonite lens, which also exhibits excellent peripheral vision thanks to its 6-base lens curvature. Cheap shots to your face wonAAAt yield costly consequences thanks to the durable but lightweight O Matter frame material, while the Three-Point Fit keeps the glasses snug and your head in the game. Shaun White helped create the Holbrook as an everyday summer shade based on the classic big frames of the AAA50s and AAA60s, and with the optional, glare-eliminating Iridium lens coating, you can squeeze as much function as fashion out of these shades.
Product Features
Oakley was created for world-class athletes, those who see the limits of possibility as just another challenge. Their dedication drives the brand to look beyond the conventional ideas of industry standards. It's in Oakley's DNA to identify problems, create inventions, and wrap those inventions in art. And simply to make things better than anyone thought possible. Decades of Oakley innovation have been awarded more than 540 patents that elevate physics to the level of art. Technologies transcend sports to enhance the lives of consumers, and more than 110 countries now enjoy a full array of market-leading products including premium sunglasses, goggles, prescription eyewear, apparel, footwear and accessories. These products represent Oakley's commitment to excellence - a passion that redefines what is possible for those who defy their own limits.
With his brother Jesse acting as his creative director, snowboarding superstar Shaun White worked closely with Oakley during the creation of Holbrook. Together they went back to vintage styles like the original Oakley Frogskins® then set out to distill their own vision of American cool. Holbrook is a timeless classic that echoes the screen heroes from the 1940s, 50s and 60s, the icons who inspired youth with their own brand of defiance. Who was the legend? He was sometimes a loner and sometimes a leader, an everyman who lived by a code, stood up for what was right and did what needed to be done. You wouldn't call him a man's man because that macho crap meant nothing to him. What you saw was what you got, including dust from the open road and a look that said he might be gone tomorrow because nothing could hold him.
The name "Holbrook" came from a similar inspiration. Holbrook is a small town found along historic Route 66 in Arizona that sits on the outskirts of the painted desert and the petrified forest. It's a classic western badland that epitomizes a spirit of exploration and adventure found in those traveling along Highway 66 in the 50's and 60's.
Metal bolts and icons highlight the stress-resistant O Matter® frame, a comfortably lightweight design with pure Plutonite® lenses that filter out every ray of UV. Optical precision and impact resistance meet ANSI Z87.1 standards to give you superior clarity and protection. Multiple lens/frame combinations are available. Choose one with Oakley HDPolarized lenses for filtering that cuts more than 99% of reflected glare. The versions that come with Iridium® lens coating reduce even more glare while balancing light transmission.
Holbrook HDO is a combination of technologies and patented innovations that give you clearer, sharper, and more accurate vision. HDO virtually eliminates distortion common in high-wrapped sunglasses.
Holbrook Plutonite filters out 100% of UVA, UVB, UVC, and harmful blue light up to 400nm.
Holbrook lenses are tested under extreme circumstances to guarantee superior portection against objects at varying speeds that no other lens offers.
Oakley has sought out the best materials to design and engineer all frames to provide the ultimate in performance, comfort, and design.
A gift for my son-in-law. Exactly what he wanted - he is very pleased.

After spending the past nine years battling the views of the Congress, the Left and others on Narendra Modi and the 2002 Gujarat riots, the Bharatiya Janata Party has latched on to a report of the U.S. Congressional Research Service (CRS) to showcase the "achievements" of someone it regards as its "model Chief Minister."
BJP spokesman Rajiv Pratap Rudy on Wednesday cited the 90-page CRS report "to prove" that Mr. Modi was the best Chief Minister in the country, having "streamlined the economy, removed red tape, ended corruption and built up infrastructure." Further, referring to the refusal of a U.S. visa to Mr. Modi in 2005, Mr. Rudy suggested that America's official opinion about him had come a long way since then.
In fact, CRS reports do not reflect the opinion of the U.S. Congress or administration and are, at best, background briefs for Congressmen with much of their source material derived from the region itself — newspaper reports, speeches at seminars and so on.
As the BJP tried to project the "weightiness" of the report — Mr. Rudy said the equivalent of Rs. 400 crore was spent by the U.S. Treasury on the CRS each year — CPI leader D. Raja had this to say: "The BJP should be ashamed that it is looking for a good character certificate from the U.S. for Mr. Modi and even encouraging the U.S. to meddle in India's internal affairs." Sitaram Yechury (CPI-M) wondered why the BJP was flaunting an American character certificate for Mr. Modi for, the very same Americans had refused him a visa earlier. "Both the BJP and the U.S. should know that it is the people of India who will decide the country's Prime Minister, certainly not a U.S. agency or research organisation."
Interestingly, the CRS report itself indicates that it has merely summarised "views" expressed in one newspaper or another. The CRS said: "Yet, from among the party's [BJP's] likely candidates for the prime ministership in future elections is Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, who has overseen impressive development in the State, but who is also dogged by controversy over his alleged complicity in lethal anti-Muslim rioting in 2002." Now this view has been gleaned from a report in the Outlook magazine, dated April 5, 2011, which said "despite his clear political and economic successes in Gujarat … his aspirations to be the BJP's prime ministerial candidate face significant obstacles, not least that Muslims and liberal minded Hindus would represent an anti-Modi bloc at the national level …"
Yet another reference to Mr. Modi in the CRS is: "Perhaps India's best example of effective governance is found in Gujarat (pop. 60 million), where controversial Chief Minister Narendra Modi has streamlined economic processes, removing red tape and curtailing corruption …" This, the CRS acknowledges, is based on a write-up in The Wall Street Journal of January 14, 2011.

Benidorm spends as much on keeping its beaches clean as some small towns do their streets. There are three main beaches; Levante, which is just over two kilometres long and runs alongside the main British tourist area, which has the main influx of visitors and gets packed during high season; Poiniente, to the south, and at over three kilometres the longest, mainly Spanish, particularly at the southern end where there is usually plenty of room at any time of year, and the tiny Mal Pas, sat in a cove below the old town. They all are superbly sandy and have flown the Blue Flag for quality since it began in 1987.

|Bettors Pick Tennessee to Upset Gators in Florida
|Written by TheSpread
|Saturday, 03 February 2007 09:00
College Basketball: Tennessee at Florida - Florida Favored
Team Page: Tennessee :: Florida
56% of Bets Placed on Tennessee +16 | Matchup | CBB Picks
No visiting squad has won at the O'Connell Center since the Volunteers nearly a year ago, but it is unlikely they will have the SEC's leading scorer back in action Saturday as they try to knock off the Gators.
Oddsmakers have made Florida -16 point spread favorites
(College Basketball Odds) for todays game, the over/under has been set at 151.5 total points (View College Basketball Sports Books).
Three days after Florida struggled at home against one Tennessee school, needing to rally from an 11-point halftime deficit to beat Vanderbilt 74-64, the Vols look to give the Gators more than just a scare.
"There's not a team we can't beat. Of course every game is going to be a challenge," Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl said after his team's 82-71 win over Georgia on Wednesday.
Florida (20-2, 7-0) has won 15 in a row at home since a 76-72 loss to Tennessee on Feb. 22. Of their last 39 games at the O'Connell Center, the Gators have lost only three, and two came against the Vols (15-7, 3-4) in Tennessee's only visits during that span.
Saturday's game will be the first meeting between the SEC East rivals since the Vols swept both matchups last season. Lofton was a big reason for that, leading Tennessee in scoring in both games and averaging 22.5 points.
The junior guard, scoring 21.5 points per contest this season, has missed three straight games with a sprained right ankle.
Lofton did dress for Wednesday's game, but remained on the bench as Tennessee knocked off one of the SEC's hottest teams - Georgia had won five of six. The Vols suffered lopsided losses at Mississippi and Kentucky in their first two games without Lofton.
"I'd say he's doubtful, but he's getting closer. He's making progress," Pearl said Friday. "He'll be dressed and will go through layup lines and he'd be available in an emergency situation, but right now I don't think he's ready to play enough of a role to make a difference."
Lofton's absence would make things easier defensively on Florida's backcourt of Taurean Green and Lee Humphrey, allowing them to expend more of their energy at the offensive end. Green has scored in double figures in six straight games, making at least two 3-pointers in each, but Humphrey may be the hottest of the Gators since SEC play began.
In seven conference games, Humphrey is shooting 70 percent from 3-point range (28-of-40) while averaging 15.3 points.
"You can tell when he gets going because he's just shooting it and puts his hands down real fast," Green said. "We feed off of that when he makes 3s."
Tennessee's JaJuan Smith has been an equally big 3-point threat recently, making 17 of 38 over the past four games and scoring more than 20 points in each. He's averaging 15.7 points this season after scoring 22 on Wednesday.
Fellow starting guard Ramar Smith added a career-high 21, scoring in double figures for the 11th straight game.
Despite the wealth of talented long-range shooters in this game, the difference could come on the inside.
Tennessee has only one starter taller than 6-foot-4, and no player on its roster is over 6-9. Florida, meanwhile, boasts a pair of talented big men in 6-11 Joakim Noah and 6-10 Al Horford.
Noah had 19 points and nine rebounds, while Horford added 12 points and 12 boards Wednesday. Both are averaging more than eight rebounds per game, while no Tennessee player averages six.

Long rests in between sets means you'll burn much less fat. 30-60 seconds is the maximum rest time, and that's really pushing it. It'll also hurt your gains in the long run.
That's some good work man.
Like it's bruised or somethig. It hurts especially when i'm sitting down and it feels sore and sensitive. Any suggestions on what it could be?
Very true. no one should take that dangerous and unhealthy crap!

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a workhorse technique of molecular biology laboratories in clinical and basic science. DNA thermal cyclers and gradient PCR units are essential in these laboratories. Selecting a good DNA thermal cycler is important. During PCR analysis, the well or tube capacity will determine the number of samples that can run at one time, including different combinations of temperature gradients (if available), MgCl2 concentrations, and primer levels within a single run. Temperature ranges, temperature ramp speeds, and programmability all influence an instrument's versatility. PCR machines offer up to 384 well blocks, with temperatures reaching 100C. Some thermocyclers offer gradient capability and heated lids for more precise amplification protocols in PCR testing. The advantage of a PCR thermal cycler without gradient capability is low cost and applicability where thermal or concentration gradients are unnecessary.
