When I read the news about the Amnesty (use the link and see why Wikipedia rulez!) report that states that Hezbollah’s attacks on Israeli civilians are actualy war crimes I was surprised. I mean very surpised!

To my knowledge - and I am not that much into it lately - this is the first time that Amnesty is speaking out on violence with Israeli civilians as a goal.

Left wingers are saying that the Israeli are to blame, but it takes two to make a quarrel.

We are not talking numbers here. From both sides every loss is one to much.

For my great home made vegetarian chow mein (’bami’ in Dutch) I needed different vegetables. Leek, unions AND legumes among other things. Legumes are absolutely great in chow mein, because of the bite. My chow mein looks about like this.

When opening the package I did see the country of origin of the legumes. There were from the other side of the world: Guatemala! And this for about € 1,50!

I really grant the people in Guatemala to earn their money, but my question is what they will get for the vegetables they grow.
It can’t be much.

It’s a shame!

Daydreaming about the Sony Mylo that may not be coming to Europe. I am afraid I have to import it from the US. Rediculous.

It becomes time that Sony Japan and Sony USA understand that Europe is an important market for them too.

I was slavering about the Mylo here before.

Greenpeace is, besides to their concern for our environment, very concerned about our sexlife!! You wouldn’t think this of them…

The local Dutch branch of the environmental lobby organisation has had some adult toys tested by a major laboratory (TNO). The laboratory did find out that most of these toys for girls and boys contained the softening agent phthalates in high concentrations, 21 to 51 percent (!).

This is very much NOT HEALTHY!
