Gone With the Wind () — семнадцатая серия первого сезона американского мультсериала «Шоу Кливленда». Премьерный показ состоялся  на канале FOX.

Сюжет
Кливленду Брауну ставят диагноз: повышенный уровень холестерина, поэтому Донна сажает его на высокоуглеводную диету. Это вызывает у Кливленда повышенный метеоризм, что отрицательно сказывается на его взаимоотношениях с друзьями, и даже приводит к аварии. Доктор Фист, обследовав его, заявляет, что в данной ситуации его метеоризм совершенно оправдан, и выдаёт Кливленду «разрешение на пук» (Fart Card). Вскоре он использует свой метеоризм, чтобы сделать более оригинальным своё выступление в караоке-баре «Сломанный табурет». Все, кроме Донны, этим впечатлены.

Приходит известие о смерти бывшей жены Брауна — Лоретты. Как объясняет Куагмир, который привёз тело женщины в Стулбенд, Брайан выкопал скелет динозавра, Питер пытался с помощью подъёмного крана затащить его к себе во двор, но уронил на бывший дом Кливленда. Лоретта, принимавшая там в это время ванну, погибла от перелома шеи.

Кливленд-младший не особо огорчён смертью мамы, а вот его отец искренне рыдает на похоронах и после них, из чего Донна делает вывод, что тот любил её всё это время, несмотря на измены. Чтобы досадить Кливленду, Донна собирается выступить на соревнованиях по караоке не с ним, а с тренером Макфоллом.

Кливленд осознаёт, что на месте Лоретты мог бы быть он, вспоминая о своих многочисленных падениях с ванной, в которых он всегда оставался невредимым. С большим трудом он убеждает в этом Донну. В итоге, она прощает его, и супруги выступают на соревновании вместе, выигрывая его (с помощью метеоризма Кливленда).

Эпизод заканчивается небольшой нарезкой, посвящённой памяти покойной Лоретты Браун.

Интересные факты

Ссылки на культурные явления

 Доктор Фист говорит Кливленду: «С великой силой даётся и великая ответственность» (With great power, comes great responsibility), что является пародией на фразу, упоминаемую почти во всех произведениях о Человеке-пауке.
 В эпизоде появляется Гленн Куагмир из предыдущего мультсериала «Гриффины». Он называет Кливленда Джоуи, чем вызывает его ярость. Также на полке в комнате Кливленда-младшего можно заметить его отца в роли робота R2-D2 из эпизодов «Blue Harvest» и «Something, Something, Something, Dark Side» того же мультсериала.
 В сцене похорон Лоретты священник цитирует информацию о ней по Википедии, упоминая, что других статей «Браун, Лоретта» не существует.
 Донна заявляет, что Лоретта изменяла Кливленду не только с Куагмиром, но и с мэром Куахога Адамом Вестом, метеорологом Олли Вильямсом и Фрэнком Синатрой-младшим.

Мелочи

 Премьеру эпизода посмотрели 5 454 000 зрителей. Для сравнения: в тот же вечер на том же канале премьеру «Симпсонов» («American History X-cellent» (англ.)) посмотрели 5 649 000 человек, «Гриффинов» («April in Quahog») — 6 930 000 зрителей, «Американского папаши» («Cops and Roger» (англ.)) — 5 087 000 человек.
 Кливленд констатирует: «Одна моя жена мертва, вторая — ненавидит меня. Я прямо как О. Джей Симпсон».

Amazon has announced it will open up a new office in downtown Vancouver with Oxford Properties, its second in the city, to open in 2020.
A lease has been signed for the new office, which will double its Vancouver workforce from 1,000 to 2,000. There are now 5,000 full-time Amazon employees in Canada, across B.C., Ontario and Quebec.
Fulfilment centres in Delta and New Westminster employ 500 B.C. residents, while there is also an Amazon subsidiary, Abebooks.com, based in the province's capital city, Victoria.
"I'm pleased Amazon is increasing their presence in Vancouver, creating good jobs and helping us build a strong, sustainable economy that works for everyone," said Premier John Horgan.
Last month, Amazon announced its seventh fulfillment centre in Canada would be coming soon, located in Calgary's Rocky View community.

IWC introduced a slew of new models in its elegant Portugieser collection in 2020 and revitalized its nautically inspired Portugieser Yacht Club sub-family. The latest addition to the latter series springs from a collaboration with British "resort swimwear" brand Orlebar Brown. It's a marine-blue-dialed timepiece with a special co-branded strap, designed to coordinate with a new nine-piece lifestyle collection perfectly suited for the watch's intended milieu of yacht decks and beach clubs. Read on for more detail on the Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition "Orlebar Brown," along with some personal insight on the collaboration from Orlebar Brown founder Adam Brown.
IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph Edition "Orlebar Brown"
We rarely start off our rundown of a new watch's attributes with its strap and buckle, but we'll make an exception here. Orlebar Brown's swim shorts are noteworthy for their unusual and sophisticated construction, taking cues from men's suit trousers: crafted from 60 elements and fitted with a four-part shaped waistband, zip fly closure, and adjustable side fasteners for a wearer's ideal fit. The blue rubber strap with textile inlay fastens to the wrist with a similar type of side-fastener buckle, co-branded with the names of both the Schaffhausen timepiece manufacture and the swimwear brand "tailored to the dynamic lifestyles of sailors, adventurers, and explorers." The marine blue dial is accented by white and red elements, another visual reference to Orlebar Brown's product range, and features rhodium-plated hands and appliqués; a central seconds hand; and subdials at 12 and 6 'clock, for the chronograph tally and running seconds, respectively, the latter also including an aperture for the date.
The watch joins a new collection of resort wear from Orlebar Brown.
The movement inside the Yacht Club Chronograph's 44.6-mm stainless steel case is IWC's self-winding Caliber 89361, manufactured in-house and amassing a 68-hour power reserve. In addition to the single-totalizer display for the stopwatch hours and minutes (on the dial at 12 o'clock), its built-in chronograph includes a flyback function that enables the wearer to return the hands to zero and instantly begin a new timing sequence. The watch also has a hacking seconds function and a small-seconds and date display in a single subdial at 6 o'clock. The screw-down crown helps enable the watch's 60-meter water resistance and a sapphire exhibition caseback affords a view of the movement, with its openworked rotor and golden IWC medallion.
IWC's Caliber 89361 beats behind the exhibition caseback.
Adam Brown founded Orlebar Brown in London, after noting an abundance of too-casual swimwear amongst his usually well-dressed friends at a birthday party around a hotel pool and longing for something that could seamlessly go from the swimming pool to a sit-down lunch. Brown, who worked with IWC CEO Christoph Grainger-Herr on the watch (priced at $12,500, available as of July 2020), sees it as an essential component of the new collection, which also includes a white toweling blazer with blue piping, a blue cotton peacoat, linen shirts, and even a pair of swim shorts depicting a Solaris 55 sailing yacht in honor of IWC's new partnership with Italian yacht manufacturer Solaris. "The navy blue colors that match the blue piping on the blazer, the rubberized, waterproof elements of the strap, and of course, the co-branded side fastener which has become the reference point of the Orlebar Brown brand — they all come together to create that "yacht club" mood, that refined elegance that comes with sitting on a club deck overlooking the sea," Brown told WatchTime. Calling himself "an enthusiast rather than an expert" on timepieces, Brown nevertheless finds that his company's philosophy of versatility and personal tailoring is relevant to the world of watches: "I have been aware of IWC for a long time and received my first one about 10 years ago," he says. "I would not claim to know all the details of what goes on inside a watch, but I appreciate their individual spirit. Watches are a great way for a man to express himself and I love how each one has its own personality and character."
The watch is designed for the "refined elegance" of a yacht club.

Porn is a young children's doctrine also known as Nationalist Propaganda. Everyone enjoys porn and its serene innocence. To stop vengeful midgets the gnomes plotting your death enjoying porn they put it on the top shelf of all good newsagents to stop the little blighters reaching them.
Porn was voted numero uno clean family activity. Everyone joins in the games that Porn thinks up, resulting in productive effects such as pregnancy and the realization of the ideals of Duncanism. Porn is also one of the greatest inventions of mankind.

Appointment in Samarra: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) (Paperback)
By John O'Hara, Charles McGrath (Introduction by), Neil Gower (Illustrator)
One of Time's All-Time 100 Best Novels
The writer whom Fran Lebowitz called "the real F. Scott Fitzgerald" makes his Penguin Classics debut with this beautiful deluxe edition of his best-loved book.
One of the great novels of small-town American life, Appointment in Samarra is John O'Hara's crowning achievement. In December 1930, just before Christmas, the Gibbsville, Pennsylvania, social circuit is electrified with parties and dances. At the center of the social elite stand Julian and Caroline English. But in one rash moment born inside a highball glass, Julian breaks with polite society and begins a rapid descent toward self-destruction.
Brimming with wealth and privilege, jealousy and infidelity, O'Hara's iconic first novel is an unflinching look at the dark side of the American dream—and a lasting testament to the keen social intelligence if a major American writer.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
John O'Hara (1905–1970) was one of the most prominent American writers of the twentieth century. Championed by Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Dorothy Parker, he wrote seventeen novels, including Appointment in Samarra, his first; BUtterfield 8, which was made into a film starring Elizabeth Taylor; Pal Joey, which was adapted into a Broadway musical as well as a film starring Frank Sinatra; and Ten North Frederick, which won the National Book Award. He has had more stories published in The New Yorker than anyone else in the history of the magazine. Born in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, he lived for many years in New York and in Princeton, New Jersey, where he died.
Charles McGrath (introducer) is the former editor of The New York Times Book Review and former deputy editor of The New Yorker. He is currently a writer at large for The New York Times.
Neil Gower (cover illustrator) is an internationally acclaimed graphic artist. He spent ten years as a contributing artist to Condé Nast Traveler and has provided art for major publishing houses and for such magazines as The New Yorker, The Economist, and Vanity Fair. He lives in Sussex, England.
"John Updike did it later, but I actually think John O'Hara did it better—dissecting the country club set, the ways everyone interacts with each other, their sex lives and the way men cheat. I can't think of when I've read a book and thought it had such a modern feeling to what he chooses to say about marriage." —Delia Ephron, The Wall Street Journal
"With a dazzling new cover and smart new introduction, one of my favorite novels, Appointment in Samarra by John O'Hara, is reborn. . . . This novel about class, drinking and sex is fun—and incredibly smart." —Elizabeth Taylor, Chicago Tribune
"[A] gorgeous new edition . . . Appointment in Samarra still astonishes and amazes; and [O'Hara's] style and themes—a bridge, if you will, between F. Scott Fitzgerald and John Updike—remain painfully and beautifully relevant today." —Huffington Post
"Suspenseful, character-driven—it deserves to be read more." —Joshua Ferris, Details
"Transfixing . . . A Jazz Age novel set amidst the early throes of the Depression . . . A striking antidote to contemporary novels like Nathanael West's Miss Lonelyhearts and Erskine Caldwell's Tobacco Road, which remain startling for their implacably cynical view of humanity. O'Hara offers a more nuanced, and more subversive view of the national mood at the cusp of the Depression." —Nathaniel Rich, The Daily Beast
"Nobody who's read it ever forgets Appointment in Samarra." —San Francisco Chronicle
"An attractive new edition of Samarra, with deckled edges and a jazzy cover." —The Philadelphia Review of Books
"If you want to read a book by a man who knows exactly what he is writing about and has written it marvelously well, read Appointment in Samarra." —Ernest Hemingway
"Appointment in Samarra lives frighteningly in the mind." —John Updike
"It is alive with compelling characters and O'Hara's dead-on dialogue and sharp observations." —Chicago Tribune's Printers Row
"[O'Hara] was as acute a social observer as Fitzgerald, as spare a stylist as Hemingway, and in his creation of Gibbsville, in western Pennsylvania, he invented a kind of small-bore variation on Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County." —Los Angeles Times
"An author I love is John O'Hara. . . . I think he's been forgotten by time, but for dialogue lovers, he's a goldmine of inspiration." —Douglas Coupland, Shelf Awareness
"O'Hara was one of Mom's favorite authors. . . . 'So I finally read Appointment in Samarra,' I told her. 'I'd always thought that book had something to do with Iraq.' . . . 'It does apply to Iraq, even if that's not at all what it's about. It's a book about setting things in motion and then being too proud and stubborn to apologize and to change course.' " —from The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe

Why do some relationships work out and others end in flames?
You don't have to be much older than five to experience the pointy end of someone else's ego. In the playground not being invited to someone's birthday party or complaining about the teacher looks like milk compared to 'grown up' crisis' like a psycho boss or an acid throwing divorce settlement.
Is there somebody in the distant (or not too distant) past that, when you recall their face, you just instantly think to yourself; 'fucker'?
Yes I'm pretty sure most people have one of those. A prickly thistle sitting right in the waistband of your knickers. Someone who over time became so different to you, it became hard to see your shared humanity.
You've probably realised this already, but unfortunately it's impossible to be alive and not experience suffering.
Acknowledging and accepting goes a long way on the healing journey.
Of course most of us prefer distraction. The panadol of our modern world.
What does the Law of Attraction say about this kind of thing? Like attracts like. So, for some specific reason, that prickly so-and-so was created for you to learn something about yourself.
But did you learn it? Or have you attracted more prickles? The pricklier and more challenging the relationship, the greater the lesson nature was trying to get across.
It might be painful, but we can choose to grow from these interactions. This is the 'good pain' yoga teaches us about – the pain that creates length, space and freedom for something new.
Here's the thing: there is a very simple, effortless practice that will free you of this person.
Send out love to that person on their journey.
Even if real time apologies and setting straights can't happen, in your mind, make it clear to yourself you wish no ill will.
This doesn't mean you have to pick up where you left off and rekindle the relationship. But you have to MEAN IT. Mean it within yourself and feel it. Truly mean that person well.
You could make this a focus of your meditation, prayer or practice. You can make it the topic of your gratitude practice for the day. Think about several things you're grateful for in that person (this is possible!) and when you write WHY, wish them all the luck in the world.
This practice is powerful and it has the ability to shift mountains within you. Don't just take my word for it. Intelligence requires evidence. Do the practice and all is coming.


Well I know one thing… It's been ages since I posted here so I should at least explain what I've been up to.
In some ways, not a lot although in other ways, quite a lot. I've been appearing more on social websites, mostly Facebook and Twitter, offering assistance and pearls of wisdom to those who want to see it. This has got me a lot more friends and followers on both and so is increasing my brand and web presence, to the point now where I'm being asked to join product creation groups and accountability partnerships. The former – well I've tried a couple and although the initial interest was there from the others, things and stuff got in their way and it all came to naught. The latter needs a bit more success to demonstrate on my part to make sure of what I'm telling someone really is worth telling.
My income has been climbing. It's slow but I can see an improvement and it seems to coincide with financial or hard work on my part – so finding the right things to do is getting results, then it's just a matter of doing more of the same.
One thing I have found that is fun and easy (mostly) is via a system called Affiliate Tube Jacker. It explains a very simple way of ranking a video on Google via YouTube in a matter of a few minutes, then, assuming it ranks high enough, actually creating the video via another simple method.
One thing I have learned from this is that I need to work on my presentation skills. I am full of 'erm, err', mis-pronunciations and stuttering over my words. However, I know this will improve with practice, something that I can do offline as well as online.
I got the video to that position in only 13 minutes too! As you can see though, there is no competition for the keyword and finding that sort of product is part of the secret. For the rest, you'll have to look at Affiliate Tube Jacker for yourself. I can't give it all away (grin).
Are YOU taking action too? If you are, tell me in the comments box below, what you're doing and how it's doing for you.
If you're not taking action, why not? Are you stuck on something? Don't be afraid to ask for help as getting over that little hurdle may well lead you on to bigger and better things.
As always, please feel free to share this article socially by using the buttons below and if you want to stay in regular contact with me, join my list at http://www.mmss.site/free You get a free ebook of Online Passive Income Ideas to help you get started and there's always more advice and free give-aways sent out with my emails, which, by the way, are not all sales and hype.
Let's hope it's not too long before my next update on here as I'm sure there'll be more to tell you about soon.And perhaps better voice overs too!

AI pilots write to PM ahead of GoM meet
2 min read . Updated: 24 Oct 2011, 10:23 PM IST Tarun Shukla
Air IndiaPilotsSalaryVRSCRSPranab MukherjeeFinance MinistryManmohan SinghGoMCorporate NewsSector Spotlight
New Delhi: Having gone without the bulk of their salaries for nearly four months, Air India Ltd employees have asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to intervene ahead of the meeting of a ministerial panel to discuss the state-owned carrier's financial affairs.
A copy of the letter has been reviewed by Mint. Icpa is Air India's largest pilot union, with more than 600 members.
A group of ministers led by finance minister Pranab Mukherjee will meet on Thursday, a day after Diwali, to decide on a final bailout package for Air India, which has accumulated ₹ 40,000 crore in debt and incurred a loss of ₹ 7,000 crore in fiscal 2010-11 alone.
The meeting is also expected to decide on a plan to revamp operations of the carrier and whether it should go ahead with the purchase of Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft worth $4 billion (nearly ₹ 20,000 crore), ordered in 2006.
Air India has 40,000 employees and an annual wage bill of ₹ 3,000 crore, roughly the size of low-cost airline SpiceJet Ltd's annual revenue. The carrier hasn't paid PLI to employees since July. It has also defaulted on payments to airport operators and oil companies.
Kingfisher Airlines Ltd has also delayed salaries to employees for the past two months.
Air India seems to be improving under the new chairman and managing director, Icpa said in the letter.
Rohit Nandan took over as Air India's chairman and managing director in August, replacing Arvind Jadhav.
Civil aviation minister Vayalar Ravi on Monday held a three-hour review meeting of Air India ahead of the group of ministers (GoM) meeting, which is expected to decide on the turnaround plan submitted by a group of finance ministry officials.
"Air India will make a presentation of the performance of the last three-four months and the group of officers will make their own presentation on TAP (turnaround plan). Besides, other actions taken by the airline will be reviewed," said a government official, asking not to be identified.
A retired Air India official said the airline should introduce a compulsory retirement scheme to cut down staff before it begins implementing the turnaround plan.
"What AI needs is not VRS (voluntary retirement scheme) but CRS—compulsory retirement scheme—so that services of employees who are a liability on the company can be dispensed with. VRS will only allow the competent to leave, thus creating loss of managerial talent, which is already scarce," said the official, requesting anonymity.
The official said both Air India and the erstwhile Indian Airlines, which were merged under the Air India brand in 2007, have a rule that allows them to retire an employee at 55 without paying compensation. "This is what should be resorted to for salvaging AI as it does not involve any payment," he said.
"The other step vitally needed," the official said, "is to place a moratorium on implementation of union agreements so that all wasteful practices, unproductive payments are done away with. This includes paying pilots of the pre-merger AI compensation for 80 hours whether they have flown or not."

Now that Caterina received the package I sent her, I can show you what was in it.
A sunflower, a primula denticulata, a primrose and daffodils.

Beautiful flowers. Caterina is a lucky girl.
Me encantan, son unas preciosas flores.
The flowers are wonderful. Wishing you all the best for 2012.
thank you so much, I really am a lucky girl!


The Department of Human Services (DHS) has disclosed wiping, or writing-off, 26,104 Centrelink debts raised through its contentious data-matching project, since July 2016.
Additionally, 14,621 debts have been reduced to zero.
DHS confirmed the statistics in response to Senate Estimates Questions on Notice, noting that a permanent write-off may also occur in some cases where the recipient is deceased or has been declared bankrupt, and not just where DHS got it wrong.
The Online Compliance Intervention (OCI) program automatically compares the income declared to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) against income declared to Centrelink, resulting in debt notices -- along with a 10 percent recovery fee -- subsequently being issued when a disparity in government data was detected.
A department spokesperson, however, told ZDNet in October it is inaccurate to say the automated system that came to be known colloquially as "robo-debt" had incorrectly issued debt notices.
"Last year the Commonwealth Ombudsman confirmed that: It was reasonable and appropriate for the department to ask people to explain data matching discrepancies; the online system accurately calculates debts when the required information is entered; the business rules in the online compliance system that support the debt calculation are comprehensive and accurately capture the legislative and policy requirements; and debts raised are consistent with the previous manual debt investigation process."
DHS acting deputy secretary of Integrity and Information Jason McNamara told the Finance and Public Administration References Committee something similar in March, saying the data-matching program went well.

Coming In Hot: Get To Know Karen Khachanov
Vic_Kincer_20170815D5H_1620_1000
© Victor Kincer
By Blair Henley
With 20-year-old German phenom Sascha Zverev monopolizing tennis headlines this summer, it's been easy to forget about the second-highest ranked player in the ATP World Tour's 21-and-under group of "Next Gen" athletes.
Here's your reminder: Keep an eye on Karen Khachanov.
Standing a solid 6-foot-6, the 21-year-old from Moscow, Russia, has a physique made for tennis. It's easy to assume he relies primarily on his booming serve to win matches, but he says he actually prefers the groundstroke grind of a slightly slower court. Perhaps it's no surprise, then, that he had a breakthrough clay-court swing that propelled him to a career-high rank of No. 30 in the world this season.
Khachanov improved his consistency and fitness level in part by training in Barcelona – clay country – over the past three years, but he has his roots firmly planted in Russia. The son of two doctors, he grew up alongside other up-and-coming players like Andrey Rublev and Daniil Medvedev. He idolized former world No. 1 Marat Safin as a child and vividly remembers watching from the stands as he clinched Russia's last Davis Cup title in 2006.
"[I started playing] tennis just because my parents wanted me to try when I was young," he said. "I played three or four times per week, then later when I became older, I decided to play tennis [full time]."
Ranked as high as No. 16 in the world in ITF junior play, he's risen steadily up the professional ranks since turning pro in 2013. Last year at this time, he had just broken into the top 100. This year, he'll likely be seeded at the US Open.
"I think there is always going to be pressure on every stage with the rankings, so you have to deal with it and that's it," he said. "When I was 150, I wanted to be 100. You always put pressure on yourself, and you have to try to deal with it and focus on what you have to do."
Khachanov struggled to find consistency at the beginning of his 2017 season, at one point losing five straight matches. He found his rhythm in April when he made a run to the quarterfinals in Barcelona, notching his first top 10 win over David Goffin. He went on to make his first major fourth round appearance at Roland Garros, upsetting Tomas Berdych and John Isner along the way. When asked what he enjoys most about the game, he answered with a laugh: "Obviously, winning!"
Here at the Western & Southern Open, he has an opportunity to rack up a few more victories. When Roger Federer pulled out due to a back injury, Khachanov's section of the draw opened up significantly. Instead of playing the No. 3 player in the world in the second round on Wednesday, he faced lucky loser Thomas Fabbiano, who took Federer's slot in the draw. Khachanov will have a shot to make the quarterfinals when he faces 46th-ranked Yuichi Sugita of Japan on Thursday.
As a reward for his on-court success in 2017, Khachanov will compete in the first annual ATP Next-Gen Finals at season's end, which will pit the top eight players under 21 against each other in Milan, Italy. While Khachanov appreciates the promotional aspect of the event, he's focused squarely on his next match in Cincinnati.
"I'm happy for all the guys that they are doing well," he said. "It's good for tennis that the next generation is coming and rising up. I'm just trying to focus on myself and keep moving forward."
Khachanov will likely be joined in Milan by two 20-year-old Americans who also advanced to the third round on Wednesday. Frances Tiafoe took out the red-hot Zverev in three sets, while Jared Donaldson ousted India's Ramkumar Ramanathan.
It looks like the Next Gen is now.


Few Hindus ; Few Muslims ; and a lot of Humanity died, this day.
It seemed to me as if the Blogger was down to mourn the December 6th day.
well thought out post. memories of those dark days 13 yrs ago are still afresh.
Yes Chakra. And still we arent ready to wipe it off our face. Thats the irony.
