Israeli Office
An Israeli version of the smash British television show "The Office" will be broadcast on the Yes satellite carrier starting in April of next year.
The cast will include a variety of Israeli types - an Arab warehouse manager, an ultra-Orthodox saleswoman and a bitter Russian accountant. The Israeli answer to David Brent, the obnoxious boss of the U.K. program, will be named Avi Meshulam, though an actor has yet to be pegged for the role.

Unbelievable
The Jordanian royal family's dog was secretly rushed to Israel for treatment in the midst of Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Sunday.
Relations between the royal palace in Amman and the Beit Dagan veterinary hospital have been good for many years now.
The Israeli medical team's expertise has served Jordan a number of times, almost always under a heavy veil of secrecy, as per the royal court's request.
During the fighting in the Gaza Strip, the Jordanians once again called on the Israeli veterinarians for help. King Abdullah and Queen Rania's beloved dog had fallen ill.
In a secret operation, the pet was transferred to the hospital in Israel in very poor condition.
A few days later, despite the veterinarians' dedicated treatment, King Abdullah's pet passed away.
The dog's body was returned to Jordan, along with a sincere apology from the hospital's vets for being unable to save him.
The Beit Dagan veterinary hospital refused to comment on the report.

You Know Your School's Broke When
In a cash-strapped Idaho high school where signs taped near every light switch remind the staff to save electricity, an enterprising teacher has struck a sponsorship deal with a local pizza shop: Every test, handout and worksheet he passes out to his students reads MOLTO'S PIZZA 14" 1 TOPPING JUST $5 in bright red, inch-high letters printed along the bottom of every page.story
Right On Pat
A Jewish human rights group is denouncing a nationally syndicated political cartoon on Gaza as anti-Semitic, likening its fanged Star of David to Nazi imagery before the Holocaust.
The cartoon by Pat Oliphant published Wednesday in newspapers across the United States depicts a goose-stepping uniformed figure wheeling the Jewish symbol as it menaces a small female figure labeled "Gaza."The Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish rights group with more than 400,000 members in the United States, said the cartoon is meant to denigrate and demonize Israel. The center called on media outlets to remove the cartoon from their Web sites.

Doubt
i watched the movie doubt last night ... doubt stars meryl streep and phillip seymour hoffman so you know the acting is going to be superb ... amy adams also plays a role in the movie ... so as the name might suggest ... the theme of the movie is doubt or suspicion if you will ... when is it justified ... is it ever justified ... or is it just another form of gossip ...
the thing about this movie is ... there's no comedy ... no action ... no special effects ... nothing ... it relies solely on the story itself to impress you ... which kind of makes sense since it's based on a play ...
the movie is set in a catholic school in the sixties ... streep plays the strict conservative principal who rules the school with an iron fist ... and hoffman plays the more friendly progressive father at the school ... and amy adams is a young innocent teacher who works at the school that is torn between the two ... the plot thickens when adams suspects hoffman of having an inappropriate relationship with one of the altar boys ... she bases her suspicions on purely circumstantial evidence ... she tells streep about it and streep is convinced that something is going on ... and so the two have a meeting to confront him ... but he denies it ... adams believes him ... streep, however, doesn't and vows to take him down ... going so far as to even tell the boy's mother about her suspicions at one point in the movie ... and that's all i will say ... watch the movie to find out how it plays out ... who will win the battle of wills ... but i will say this ... mild spoiler alert ... even when the movie is finished ... we still don't know for sure whether hoffman did or didn't have a relationship with the boy ... he might have ... but then again he might not have ... nothing is proven ... hence the whole doubt thing ... which makes it interesting because we're not sure who is the good guy and who is the bad guy in this movie ... i mean ... you would think that the friendly progressive guy is the good one ... and the uptight ice queen is the bad one ... but it's not so easy ...
overall ... great acting ... an interesting story ... and they don't drag the story out either ... so it's not too long so that's always good ... but like i said this movie relies solely on the conversations to keep you interested ... so just keep that in mind ... it's one of those movies that will make you go hmmm ... as opposed to movies that make you go wow ... 7/10 ...

Looking Back At The War
The war on gaza … remember that … which one was that again … oh right it was only like three months ago … something like a 1000 dead … yeah sounds familiar … does anybody care anymore … ugh that’s like so five minutes ago … when it was “in” to wrap a kuffiyeh around your neck … stop drinking starbucks for a while … maybe post a few photos on facebook of dead children … possibly write a blog post about how sad it makes you feel to watch your people get massacred so easily … yeah well I still remember … kind of … anyway about that war … here’s the thing that sur … I was gonna say surprised me … but no … the thing that shocked me the most about that war … I say shocked because it truly shook me to the core … surprised seems like an understatement … so what shocked me about that war … was not israel’s brutality … not like we haven’t seen that before … we know what they’re capable of … and so I wasn’t expecting anything different from the genocide that took place … what shocked me about that war … was not the arab complicity … even the Ramallah complicity … we all know who they work for … I certainly wasn’t expecting them to pick up their swords and go fight … although I long for the days when they used to pretend to care … I long for those fiery statements of empty rhetoric … nobody makes the effort to pretend anymore … they didn’t even bother having a summit this time … well they did but it was too little too late basically … they had two summits actually … they don’t get along so well you know … another thing they no longer pretend to do … getting along that is … but I digress … so yeah here’s what shocked me about that war … it was to hear people … and by people here I mean just normal people … I don’t mean our leaders and I certainly don’t mean the media that repeats what they say in a better way so we might actually believe it … so yeah it shocked me to hear people saying that this war was the Palestinian people’s fault somehow … more specifically hamas … I mean if you’re one of those who says look I feel for you but there’s nothing we can do … I may not agree with that but I can see your point of view … you don’t think freeing Palestine is worth giving up our iPods and BMWs for … I respect that … it’s your opinion … but hey … at least you feel for me right … thanks man … but to tell me this is the Palestinians’ fault … come on … I mean sure we saw it in the 2006 war on Lebanon … where people blamed the resistance for the war … and they kind of had a point … but I guess the anti-shia sentiments played a major role in that opinion … because I don’t remember people blaming saddam like that … anyway … so yeah it’s happened before in Lebanon … but that didn’t shock me so much … but this isn’t southern Lebanon … this is Palestine … it’s the rally cry of the arab people … it’s the arab cause … it’s the qadiyeh for god’s sake … are we actually blaming the Palestinians for having the audacity to resist … whatever happened to the days when we used to glorify the intifada … I guess those days are over … I remember reading one comment on a certain online forum where an arab guy said that hamas “asked for it” … asked for it … hamas asked to be bombed this way … really … they say well hamas decided not to renew the truce and now they have to face the music … really … ok … can I ask why they didn’t renew the truce … I mean you make it sound like it all started when they decided not to renew the truce … like that was the first page … like nothing ever happened before that … come on … let’s have a slightly longer memory … I’m not saying let’s go all the way back to 1948 when Palestine was stolen by the Zionists … but let’s try to have a slightly longer memory seriously … and maybe maybe when we think about everything that happened before that … we might just might be able to understand why they decided not to renew the truce … by the way the decision was a joint one by all the factions … not just hamas … they say hamas provoked Israel … oh really … so everything was great until hamas provoked Israel … Israel never did any provoking … is that what you’re telling me … oh Israel is allowed to provoke because they are untouchable … really … so are the Palestinians allowed to provoke at all … no … why not … oh hamas is launching rockets at Israel … they’re attacking Israel … why not say they’re defending Palestine … oh well … attacking defending whatever you want to call it … when you boil it down they are launching rockets at Israel … but they’re primitive rockets … be that as it may they’re still threatening Israel’s security … ok then I guess that gives Israel the right to kill a hundred people in a couple of hours …that’s 50 Palestinians for each Israeli those rockets have killed in the past two years … yeah that sounds about fair … gentile blood is cheaper you know … especially when it’s arab … then it’s basically free … how about this though … how about the next time someone looks at me funny I walk over there and bash his head in with a metal pipe … until his skull turns to powder … yeah that sounds about fair too no … sure why not … the Palestinian people are not entirely innocent though … fucking politically divided like that … although it’s not really their fault they are politically divided but the fact remains that they are politically divided … and in a nasty way … not in a democrat republican way … but to blame this war on them … that’s just too much … downright shameful is what that is … to hear people saying things like that … seeing arab people actually believing the Zionist propaganda … I have to admit it just shocked me … I might even say … it broke my heart … but not my will … Palestine will be free …

Zionist Fashion
The office at the Adiv fabric-printing shop in south Tel Aviv handles a constant stream of customers, many of them soldiers in uniform, who come to order custom clothing featuring their unit's insignia, usually accompanied by a slogan and drawing of their choosing. Elsewhere on the premises, the sketches are turned into plates used for imprinting the ordered items, mainly T-shirts and baseball caps, but also hoodies, fleece jackets and pants.
Dead babies, mothers weeping on their children's graves, a gun aimed at a child and bombed-out mosques - these are a few examples of the images Israel Defense Forces soldiers design these days to print on shirts they order to mark the end of training, or of field duty. The slogans accompanying the drawings are not exactly anemic either: A T-shirt for infantry snipers bears the inscription "Better use Durex," next to a picture of a dead Palestinian baby, with his weeping mother and a teddy bear beside him. A sharpshooter's T-shirt from the Givati Brigade's Shaked battalion shows a pregnant Palestinian woman with a bull's-eye superimposed on her belly, with the slogan, in English, "1 shot, 2 kills." A "graduation" shirt for those who have completed another snipers course depicts a Palestinian baby, who grows into a combative boy and then an armed adult, with the inscription, "No matter how it begins, we'll put an end to it."

Yes Man
i bought nine movies yesterday ... watched one with my friend last night ... if you read the title of this post you probably guessed which movie it was ... yes man ...
yes man is a jim carrey movie in case you haven't heard of it ... and that's really the only reason i can think of that would make you want to watch it ... if you are a jim carrey fan and you must see every movie he ever makes then watch it ... otherwise ... don't bother ... i mean jim carrey is his usual hilarious self ... and you will laugh repeatedly throughout the movie ... so the jokes and the comedy are excellent ... but the movie itself ... as in plot and what not ... is weaker than a clock radio speaker ...
basically carrey plays this dude who's been through a breakup which has left him very bitter and cynical ... his friend turns him on to this program where you say yes to life ... more specifically the program requires you to say yes to everything ... and so that's what carrey starts doing ... and good things start happening ... and he meets this chick who i thought was way too young - or at least looks way too young - to play his romantic interest ... which leads to the cliche love story of falling for each other then arguing and finally getting back together again at the end of the movie ... and for some reason it takes them two hours to play out this predictable story ...
average movie ... it's not bad ... but it's certainly not good either ... 5/10 ...

Lebanon opened its first embassy in Syria on Monday, five months after the neighbours established diplomatic ties following decades of turbulent relations.
but don't get your hopes up ...
No Syrian officials attended the opening ceremony and no speeches were made. Syrian media took very little notice of the opening. State-run news agency SANA — which generally reflects the thinking of the government — mentioned the inauguration, but in few words.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem blamed the notable official absence on a scheduling conflict.
"It was not intentional," he told a joint news conference with visiting Arab League secretary-general Amr Moussa at the end of day-long Arab Foreign Ministers' meeting on the Middle East peace process.
"We had learnt first the inauguration was taking place on Sunday, not Monday," he said.

The Trip
friday morning ... woke up around sixish ... was already packed ... left for the airport ... my flight was at 9:45 in the morning ... i got to the airport around seven or so ... there was a guy from work on my flight ... he's an older dude and he actually works for our contractor so i don't know him very well but we chatted for a bit while waiting to board ... there were several hot moms on the flight as is usually the case with any flight heading to beirut ... one of them had three toddlers with her ... and one of those toddlers was a girl ... now the girl was picking her nose so her mom told her not to ... the little girl did not listen so her mom swatted her hand away and said ma t7utti eedik abadan binnose ... and i thought that was odd ... why did she refer to it as "innose" ...
i read my book for most of the flight ... it's called slam by nick hornby ... i tried to sleep at one point but i couldn't get comfortable ... soon we were flying over mountains covered in white and i knew we were close ... and sure enough a while later the red roofs started appearing ... and the city by the sea ... we arrived in beirut around 12 o'clock ... the airport was playing some fairuzi instrumentals ... which is so cliche but whatever ... customs was a breeze ... the taxi was a major rip-off ...
i was staying in ashrafiye with my best friend ... i hadn't seen him in two years ... he lives very close to hotel dieu for those of you who know beirut ... even closer to AUST ... st georges towers ... very beautiful building ...
we spent the first four days ... friday through monday ... just hanging out in his apartment ... well it's actually his mother's but she wasn't there ... she works in riyadh ... people would come and go ... his maid would cook for us ... good times ...
and yes i realize some people might frown at this ... but i lived in lebanon for four years so i don't care ... i wasn't interested in going sightseeing or anything ... i just wanted to relax and have a good time ... so i had no problem with staying indoors for the first few days ... no problem at all ... plus i still hadn't exchanged my money so that was another reason why we didn't go out either ... but there was no rush either ... like i said i was only there to have fun with my friends not to be a tourist ...
tuesday night we finally went out ... we went to abc which is closeby ... walking distance actually ... we wanted to watch a movie but nothing interesting was showing ... well i suggested watchmen but my friend didn't seem too excited about it ... so we ended up just having dinner instead ...
wednesday morning i began my quest to get my certificates stamped ... if i wanted to be poetic about it i would describe it as traversing the labyrinth of arab bureaucracy ... so i went to the ministry of higher learning ... apparently having the original certificate with me wasn't good enough ... they needed two photocopies authenticated by the university ... so i went to the university and filled out the form to get the two copies i made authenticated ... the guy told me to come back the next day ... i was like it takes you a day to stamp the paper ... he's like yes ... so anyway that was that ... so seeing as how i had to wait until the next day and i was already in hamra ... i decided to walk around for a couple of hours ... i know hamra inside out ... or at least i used to ... so that was kind of nostalgic ... i saw a lot of familiar faces and places ... i went to the building where i used to live and said hi to the dude in reception ... it was the same guy ... another example there's this one beggar dude who has swollen feet that i used to pass everyday when i would walk to uni ... he's still there in his same spot ... i didn't say hi to him though ... i walked around AUB for a bit ... they have designated smoking zones now ... imagine that ... but i forgot to go into the student store ... i wanted to buy some stuff from there ... like i don't know ... a shirt or a pair of shorts ... a bumper sticker ... a mug ... anything ... but i forgot so whatever ...
thursday morning i went and got my certificates from aub ... took them back to the ministry of higher learning and got them stamped there ... then to the foreign ministry ... stamped them there ... then to the saudi embassy ... final stamp ... unfortunately they told me you can't come here to get it stamped ... you have to go to a liaison office ... so i did ... at the office they told me that it would take two to three weeks ... i didn't have that kind of time and as a result i was unable to get the stamp ... so now i will just send it with one of my dad's friends and he will take care of it ... later that night we went to gemmayzeh for a while ... and then on the way home we got a nice takeaway dinner from kababji ... delicious ...
friday we just hung out in the apartment ... i left for the airport around 1 pm ... flight was at 4 ... i forgot my book at the airport by the way ... arrived in riyadh around 7 ... i bought the book again the next day ...

In a recent interview with The National Post, Toronto Raptors forward Shawn Marion asked about transitioning his massive DVD collection to Blu-ray ... Here's what he had to say ...
"Hell, no! Blu-ray [Discs] cost too much. They cost like 35, 40 bucks apiece. I'm going to stick with the $19.99s. $14.99, $19.99, widescreen, I'm good."
Oh by the way ... Shawn Marion will earn roughly 18 million dollars this year.
