Al Shamshoon
October 14, 2005 D'oh! Arabized Simpsons Aren't Getting Many Laughs By YASMINE EL-RASHIDI Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL October 14, 2005; Page B1 DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- When an Arab satellite TV network, MBC, decided to introduce "The Simpsons" to the Middle East, they knew the family would have to make some fundamental lifestyle changes. "Omar Shamshoon," as he is called on the show, looks like the same Homer Simpson, but he has given up beer and bacon, which are both against Islam, and he no longer hangs out at "seedy bars with bums and lowlifes." In Arabia, Homer's beer is soda, and his hot dogs are barbequed Egyptian beef sausages. And the donut-shaped snacks he gobbles are the traditional Arab cookies called kahk. An Arabized "Simpsons" -- called "Al Shamshoon" -- made its debut in the Arab world earlier this month, in time for Ramadan, a time of high TV viewership. It uses the original "Simpsons" animation, but the voices are dubbed into Arabic and the scripts have been adapted to make the show more accessible, and acceptable, to Arab audiences. In the Arabized version of 'The Simpsons,' Homer's called 'Omar' and drinks Coke, not beer. The family remains, as the producers describe them, "dysfunctional." They still live in Springfield, and "Omar" is still lazy and works at the local nuclear power plant. Bart (now called "Badr") is constantly cheeky to his parents and teachers and is always in trouble. Providing the characters' voices are several popular Egyptian actors, including Mohamed Heneidy, considered the Robert De Niro of the Middle East. MBC hopes "Al Shamshoon" will be the first of many adaptations for the growing Arab TV audience. "We are opening up a whole new genre of programming in the Middle East," says Michel Costandi, MBC's business-development director. Suppliers of Arabic-dubbed Western cartoons say demand had been sky-high for years, with Walt Disney Co. dubbing countless animations. Now broadcasters are looking for something new. "The advent of the satellite era in the Arab world has created -- and is still creating -- new channels on a continuous basis," says Sherine El-Hakim, head of Arabic content at VSI Ltd., a London-based company that dubs and subtitles TV shows and other content for broadcasters and corporations. With 60% of the population in the Arab world under the age of 20 -- 40% is under age 15 -- the market for Arabized animations is vast. "Arabization is going to boom in these next few years," says Ms. El-Hakim. "We're such an impressionable people and we aspire so much to be like the West, that we take on anything that we believe is a symbol or a manifestation of Western culture." "Pokémon," "Digimon" and other animated shows from Japan were popular first, she says, "but now the Americans are taking over." "Al Shamshoon" is currently broadcast daily during an early-evening prime-time slot, starting with the show's first season. If it is a hit, MBC envisions Arabizing the other 16 seasons. But there's no guarantee of success. Many Arab blogs and Internet chat sessions have become consumed with how unfunny "Al Shamshoon" is. "They've ruined it! Oh yes they have, *sob*. ... Why? Why, why oh why?!!!!" wrote a blogger, "Noors," from Oman. Some longtime "Simpson" fans who are Arabs are incensed over the Arabized version. "This is just beyond the pale," wrote As'ad AbuKhalil, a professor at California State University, Stanislaus, whose blog, angryarab blogspot, often touches on politics and the media. After viewing a promotional segment of "Al Shamshoon," Prof. AbuKhalil wrote, "It was just painful....The guy who played Homer Simpson was one of the most unfunny people I ever watched. Just drop the project, and air reruns of Tony Danza's show instead." Few shows have more obsessed fans than "The Simpsons," and their vast online community is worried about whether classic Simpsons dialogue can even be translated. One blogger wrote, "'Hi-diddly-ho, neighbors!' How the h -- are they going to translate that? Or this great quote: Mr Burns: Oooh, so Mother Nature needs a favor?! Well maybe she should have thought of that when she was besetting us with droughts and floods and poison monkeys! Nature started the fight for survival, and now she wants to quit because she's losing. Well I say, hard cheese." A blogger, who uses the name "Nibaq," wrote, "I am sure the effort [of] the people who made this show to translate it to Arabic could have made a good original show about an Egyptian family living in Egypt, dealing with religion, life and work and trying to keep a family together. That way they can proudly say Made in Egypt, instead of Made in USA Assembled in Egypt." Ms. El-Hakim says when it comes to Arabized animation, the market is still in its experimentation phase. A few boom years for adaptations of U.S. content may be followed by a surge in locally created productions, she says. Write to Yasmine El-Rashidi at email@example.com |

Becoming a Visible Man
Best Book in Transgender Studies, 2005 Winner, Center for Lesbian & Gay Studies (CLAGS), NY2005 Lambda Literary Award Finalist
Written by a leading activist in the transgender movement, Becoming a Visible Man is an artful and compelling inquiry into the politics of gender. Jamison Green combines candid autobiography with informed analysis to offer unique insight into the multiple challenges of the female-to-male transsexual experience, ranging from encounters with prejudice and strained relationships with family to the development of an FTM community and the realities of surgical sex reassignment.
For more than a decade, Green has provided educational programs on gender-variance issues for corporations, law-enforcement agencies, social-science conferences and classes, continuing legal education, religious education, and medical venues. His comprehensive knowledge of the processes and problems encountered by transgendered and transsexual people--as well as his legal advocacy work to help ensure that gender-variant people have access to the same rights and opportunities as others--enable him to explain the issues as no transsexual author has previously done.
Brimming with frank and often poignant recollections of Green's own experiences--including his childhood struggles with identity and his years as a lesbian parent prior to his sex-reassignment surgery--the book examines transsexualism as a human condition, and sex reassignment as one of the choices that some people feel compelled to make in order to manage their gender variance. Relating the FTM psyche and experience to the social and political forces at work in American society, Becoming a Visible Man also speaks consciously of universal principles that concern us all, particularly the need to live one's life honestly, openly, and passionately.

Internet hasn't killed books.
Remember the good old days when everyone read really good books, like, maybe in the post-war years when everyone appreciated a good use of the semi-colon? Everyone's favorite book was by Faulkner or Woolf or Roth. We were a civilized civilization. This was before the Internet and cable television, and so people had these, like, wholly different desires and attention spans. They just craved, craved, craved the erudition and cultivation of our literary kings and queens.
Well, that time never existed. Check out these stats from Gallup surveys. In 1957, not even a quarter of Americans were reading a book or novel. By 2005, that number had shot up to 47 percent. I couldn't find a more recent number, but I think it's fair to say that reading probably hasn't declined to the horrific levels of the 1950s.

Falling Leaves: the True Story of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter |
Against the background of Chinese history, Adeline Yen Mah tells the story of her own, more personal struggle - her grim, gruesome childhood. Born to a wealthy family in pre-revolution China, Adeline was the unwanted daughter, the child that "killed her mother" (in reality, poor post-natal hygiene killed her mother). Her situation became intolerably worse when her father married a second time, to the beautiful, cruel Niang, whose primary interest in li...

Happy New Year!
By Norm Silverstein ~ Posted Mon, 01/07/2013 - 10:03am
January is an exciting time for WXXI, as it marks the eleventh year of Dialogue on Disability: The Herman & Margaret Schwartz Community Series. This annual outreach initiative with the Al Sigl Community of Agencies – designed to encourage community dialogue about the abilities of people with disabilities and the importance of inclusion – kicks off on Monday, January 7th. WXXI has put together a full week of special programming on television, radio, and on screen to encourage conversation around the issues people with disabilities face. The centerpiece of this year's initiative is a special screening at The Little of "Shooting Beauty," a film that tells the story of an aspiring fashion photographer whose life is transformed when she starts a photography program for individuals with disabilities. WXXI will host two free screening of the film at The theatre on Monday, January 14 at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. After the 6 p.m. screening, we'll "Skype in" the director, Courtney Bent, for a discussion about the film. For a complete list of our Dialogue on Disability programs, visit WXXI.org/dod.
Partnerships, like the one WXXI has with the Al Sigl, help both organizations present a stronger and more focused effort to bring about change in our community. The same holds true with our partnership with the Little Theatre. This month we celebrate the one year anniversary of our new relationship with The Little. This partnership has proven to be mutually beneficial, supplying The Little with the resources and support needed to move toward greater sustainability and providing WXXI a venue to offer screening of some very important documentaries. Over the past year we've hosted a number of screenings including "Bully", "Half the Sky", and "Solar Mamas", as well as the premiere of our own Frank Lloyd Wright's Boynton House: The Next 100& Years. Many of these films were followed by panel discussions designed to encourage movie-goers to "Share the Experience" of film.
This partnership has also moved the Little Theatre toward a more solid financial future. During Thanksgiving weekend, The Little saw a 20% increase in attendance from last Thanksgiving, and sales were up 40%. It's been a great partnership and a great year, but we still have a lot of work to do. Now we're focused on bringing The Little into the digital age. You will be hearing more about our "Go Public" Campaign to raise funds for this critical work to take The Little into the future with new digital projectors and sound, while preserving the ability to show archival films and to partner with the many film festivals in our region.

recipe reviews for:
"This recipe is great either on the grill or in the oven broiler. The tomatoes give it a little bite. My entire family loves it, even my pickiest eater. In the winter I make this dish in my oven or broiler. The amounts I gave are approximate. I use two cans of tomatoes when I want more 'bite,' only one can when I want less. I like a lot of garlic so I generally use a lot."

Time for more thoughts about the upcoming draft. This time, I'll focus on linebackers, running backs and fullbacks.
You can find draft previews highlighting some of the top picks here on DenverBroncos.com.
This is a position the Broncos should bolster. It is pretty clear the Broncos need to beef up the front seven and the linebacker position is part of that group.
As the draft hype cranks up, Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller's name keeps cropping up. But I'm not sure I see the Broncos taking a linebacker with the number two overall pick. There are plenty of other good linebackers that could be great pros.
Sure, from everything I hear, Miller is tremendously talented. When a team is picking second overall, however, that is special. My belief is it is easier to find an impact linebacker later in the draft than it is to find, say, an impact defensive lineman in a later round.
I also believe the Broncos need less help at linebacker than they do at some other positions. With the switch back to the 4-3, we'll have to see what position Elvis Dumervil plays but he, we assume, will be back and healthy again.
There are also guys such as D.J. Williams, Mario Haggan, Robert Ayers, Jason Hunter, Joe Mays and Wesley Woodyard on the roster. The Broncos have some options at linebacker. That isn't to say they couldn't use a dynamic young one to add to the mix. But I don't think they need to try to get find that guy second overall.
In addition, the Broncos will likely not need to carry as many linebackers on the roster as they have the past couple of years since they'll be playing a 4-3 and not a 3-4. The Broncos are currently deeper at linebacker than they are at other positions.
BOTTOM LINE: I would love to see the Broncos draft a linebacker, but not in the first round.
These are interesting positions. We know that new head coach John Fox loves to run the ball. He had two talented backs in Carolina, namely DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stuart. The Broncos running back situation is at least a little clouded.
Yes, Knowshon Moreno is talented. But he has been injury prone and has yet to break out in his first two seasons. Does that mean the Broncos will give up on Moreno? I hardly think so. But I wonder if they'll be at least a little tempted to pick one.
Correll Buckhalter and Laurence Maroney are a couple other recognizable names on the roster. LenDale White is coming off a torn Achilles tendon. There are some options but several of those options come with legitimate questions.
Fullback is also interesting. We'll have to see how much Coach Fox wants to use two-back sets. I'd love to somehow see the Broncos find a bruising fullback but I just don't see them trying to get one in the draft.
BOTTOM LINE: There are some question marks at running back and fullback. Given the Broncos only have six draft picks right now, and given that they have much more pressing needs, I would be at least a little surprised if they drafted a guy at either of these positions.
Thanks for reading. Again, I know many of you have been talking about the draft a lot. If you are so inclined, feel free to post some thoughts on linebackers and running backs/fullbacks.

Florence is the world's celebrated jewel of Renaissance art and architecture. It is famous for perfect voluptuous domes and intimate restaurants with perfect steaks and wine. The Uffizi is the perfect art museum and and the Palazzo Pitti has the perfect Royal apartments. The Accademia has the perfect sculptures and the Baptistry has the perfect doors. Even the tombs are perfect at Santa Croce. The leather is perfect, the silk is perfect and the perfume made at Santa Maria Novella is perfect.
Via Tornabuoni is a perfect street for shopping with designer powerhouses like Salvatore Ferragamo, Gucci, Enrico Coveri, Roberto Cavalli and Emilio Pucci willing to sell you holiday goodies. Even the Piazzas are perfect! Florence is the perfect UNESCO site with many perfect "Vino con Vista" opportunities.
Florence rose to economic and cultural pre-eminence under the mighty Medici dynasty in the 15th and 16th centuries. The churches, galleries and palaces contain the world's largest concentration of Renaissance artand sculpture.
The city was built on the site of an Etruscan settlement, and has 600 years of extraordinary artistic activity. It is an incredibly compact city for walking. Walk to the Piazzale Michelangeloat sunset for a perfect glimmering moonlit cityscape. Marvel at Florence's panoramic glory as the cloak of darkness descends over her dimly lit splendor.
Natural and man-made disasters have threatened the city's wealth of art history and perfection. In 1966, the Arno River's devastating flood destroyed or severely damaged Florentine treasures. In 1993, a mafia bomb exploded near the Uffizi and severely damaged the gallery. The Ponte Vecchio was the only bridge to escape Nazi bombs.
Her glorious past is evident in the monumental grandeur and perfection of her structures: the 13th-century cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore, the Church of Santa Croce, the Uffizi, Santa Maria Novella, the Galleria dell'Accademia, the Bargello and the Pitti Palace. Works of art history grace every public building. Landmark cloisters, chapels and refectories are galleries of perfect Renaissance art.
Stroll the Via dei Calzaiuoli, between Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Signoria and imagine the creative genius that flourished in this city; evidenced by the works in the Loggia dei Lanzi. The Loggia was originally designed to shelter dignitaries watching civic ceremonies.

Truly, madly, deeply.
est. 5/4/2010 ♡I ramble. I post. I divulge in secrets. I express thoughts and feelings. I seek the great perhaps. I am constantly trapped in an abyss of thoughts. My ears are always exposed to music. I live. I breathe. I am human. Tonight my sky cries glitter and my soul screams and takes it all in. My life is an oil spill of emotion. I'll keep this blog on a personal note, and only for the simple fact that I'm living for an audience of one.

Step 5
Admitting to God, to ourselves and another human beings the exact nature of wrongs.
I was very nervous after I had written my resentments, guilt's, fears and sexual conduct. I arranged a time and I went to my sponsors house, and I shared with him over a few sessions, my moral inventory, not a life story but a moral inventory. In other words all the stuff that made me feel dis-eased! It was painful, at times I felt I was going to burst out crying and run away!
But my courage held me together. Courage as a soldier, I saw bravery, people being involved in violence after the event, there was no reaction just, "Well, I did my job". Courage is going into a situation with the heart racing, the mouth dry, the sweat and a new panic experience, but still doing it. Well, I did it and today I am glad, it was like getting rid of a Cancer! Cancer of the emotions, caused by resentment, guilt and fear.
My sponsor gave me a lot of feedback and never once criticized. He kept saying "you too?"What that meant was, he had done a lot of the things I had done! When I finished he said to me, "Well, Billy, everything you shared I have heard before, you shared nothing I have not heard before from my other sponsees"
It was a burden carrying all the resentment, guilt and fear. Dave was my sponsor, but I know people who have used Priests, Rabbi's, Mullah's, Counselors etc. What is important is not to see it as an act of confession but as a learning of your character
When I admitted to God, I admitted it to my creator, I prayed that what I had learnt may be of use to my fellow humans!
My creator wants me to be happy, joyous and free! If I am full of resentment, guilt and fear, then it speaks for itself. I could not be truly happy; maybe I was pretending to be happy in the past! Always behind that, the fear of impending doom!
What I also learnt from my step 4 and step 5 was to write a gratitude list. I had always been obsessed by what I did not have and what I wanted, never looked at what I had.
I had always been obsessed with people I resented, and never the people I liked! I had always been obsessed with guilt, my badness, my self loathing. Well, after step 5 I realized I was a human being. The only person saying I was bad was me! All I had to do was to be willing to make amends (no,it says willing!), I did not have to hurt the world, I had seen things in a different light, what it meant was; If I could go back, I would change the event. I was willing!
All my needs have been met since I did my inventory. I realized I was not happy running my business, so I stopped, it paid my taxes. The problem was that I had brothers working for me. To be happy, joyous and free meant I had to have courage and look at the long-term problems if I stayed in business. Sure, I did not want to effect my brother's finances, but I had to put myself first! I had to remember "The man who asked a question feels a fool for twenty minutes. The man who does not ask a question is a fool for the rest of his life". I felt guilty, what would my brothers think of me, but I prayed and realized that my intentions were not to harm them. So, I had to be at ease with my intentions and not their reactions! I stopped being a prisoner of people's opinions. I realized I was in an unhappy relationship and I had to do something about that.
I never wanted to hurt my partner when I left and I had to be comfortable with that, again.
Happy, joyous and free! Did not mean that I had to put up with the unbearable, it meant getting into a way of life, which was blameless. Sure you might think that walking out of a relationship is cruel, but my intention was not to hurt. I was sure that in my step 4, that I resented a women for finishing with me, after listing that resentment I realized she had the right to do what was best for her. Just like I had the right to do what is best for me, again I state it was not my intention to harm! After knowing how I hated that woman for finishing with me because I wanted to be liked, I stayed in an unhappy relationship, which lead to resentment and unhappiness. A vicious circle!

In this new series called Random Writings, I will be writing about anthing that has gone through my mind about the spoting world. From the Jets to the NHL youll never know what will be in hear so lets begin
First off NC State sophomore Nate Irving showed his potential in a 34-0 loss to South Carolina. Irving is the heart and soul of a NC State defense who may have given up 34 points in the opener but will do great things this season. The whole game this guy hustled his but off. Even when they were down in the fourth he still put his best effort into every play. Irving ended up with 10 tackles, two for loss and to top it all off a pick which he returned nine yards and give his offense great field position which thy could do nothing with. Anyway every tackle that he made he hit the ball carrier hard, its amazing how they were able to hold onto the ball once Irving jacked them up. Watch out for Nate to be a Butkus Award finalist real soon
Now im wondering about a few things with the Orioles. Since we have no shot at first place why dont we bring up some of our younger talent to give them experience for years to come. Roberts is near the end of his career and we have a great 25 year old second baseman in Eider Torres who is beating up triple league pitching. Torres is the next Brian Roberts, hes fast, plays good defense and is a clutch hitter. With runners on hes hitting .330 which is better then some of our starters hit now. Also since we are very weak at shortstop Torres has the range to throw to first and is a better hitter then the players we have now. Also why not bring up Matt Wieters now, he is hitting .358 with 11 homeruns and 28 rbis in only 57 games. Plus he has been walked almost twice as much as hes stuckout and with Ramon doing so good in the majors hitting around .240 and not getting hits when we need him to theres no reason why Matt shouldnt be with us now.
Again the Bobcats made another bad decision. Kyle Weaver is the kind of lockdown defender that weve been missing ever since we lost Brevin Knight. He didnt average the best numbers coming out of college but he always was a threat to score and was a clutch player. The Bobcats took Weaver with theresecond round pick this year but have recently traded him to Oklahoma City in exchange for the Nets second round pick next year. As much as I hate the trade the Nets will be very bad this year and have first pick potential so it could end up to be a good deal down the road though right now it looks like OC got there future sixth man.
Thomas Jones will not be the Jets starter by midseason. If preseason means anything Leon Washington will have a breakout year this year rushing for over 600 yards and receiving for another 700 yards. Washington has the rare combonation of speed and power though they say hes a little to small to be a full time back. Everytime I watch Leon I think to myself this is the next Brian Westbrook simply because there both small backs with great speed and can even power it up the middle when they need to, hopefully the Jets will give Washinton more chances this year and with Favre at the helm he'll be seeing a lot more passes coming his way.
Also I drafted a fantasy hockey team a few days back, since I dont know much about it can someone tell me how I did

The secretive instrumental art metal outfit Pelican was formed in Chicago by guitarists Trevor de Brauw and Laurent Lebec, as well as bassist Larry Herweg and his sibling drummer, Bryan. Owing a great debt to pioneering forefathers Neurosis and often compared to Boston's Isis, Pelican coincidentally also found a home at Isis mastermind Aaron Turner's Hydra Head Records. After making their debut with an eponymous four-song EP in 2003, Pelican expanded their epic, otherworldly trance-metal with 2003's critically acclaimed Australasia, followed in 2004 by The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw. After heavy touring, the quartet took a much-deserved break. They returned to the studio in 2006 and released City of Echoes in June 2007, followed by the live CD/DVD After the Ceiling Cracked later that December. What We All Come to Need, the band's fourth studio effort, appeared in 2009. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia & Thom Jurek

I do think though that you can certainly start making companies pay taxes that were are suppose to tax. Sin taxes aren't bad either in some cases...
Once again I stress the importance of having different funding from three tax structures. Income, Property and sales. You might be able to accomplish some of the goal by just adjusting those within themselves without even raising things?

According to TheWrap.com, Gyllenhaal ("Brokeback Mountain," "Source Code") will star in the indie movie "Nightcrawler," which has recently been given the green light, forcing him to withdraw from "Into the Woods," in which he was in negotiations for the role of Rapunzel's Prince.
Previous casting reports indicate that Emily Blunt may play the Baker's Wife, with Meryl Streep to play the Witch, "Sweeney Todd" star Johnny Depp to portray the Wolf and Tony Award winner James Corden (One Man, Two Guvnors) likely to portray the Baker.
Chris Pine, seen on the New York stage in The Atheist, is in talks to play Cinderella's Prince with Tony and Academy Award nominee Anna Kendrick ("Pitch Perfect") as Cinderella. Tony Award winner Christine Baranski (Hurlyburly, The Real Thing, "Mamma Mia!") is also in negotiations for the film – she was part of a reading of the screenplay adaptation of Into the Woods last fall, where she played Cinderella's Stepmother.
Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning Into the Woods book writer James Lapine authored the screenplay based on his own book for the 1988 musical that has a score by Stephen Sondheim. During an October reading of the screenplay, Lapine had streamlined the musical into a two-hour treatment for the screen.
"Into the Woods" is expected to begin filming in London this September towards a Dec. 25, 2014, in-theatre arrival.
Into the Woods features a Tony-winning score by Sondheim and Tony-winning book by Lapine, who also staged both Broadway productions of the musical. Into the Woods premiered on Broadway in 1987 at the Martin Beck Theatre starring Bernadette Peters, Chip Zien, Joanna Gleason, Kim Crosby and Robert Westenberg. The original cast performance was preserved by PBS' American Playhouse in 1991. A 2002 Broadway revival played the Broadhurst Theatre.
