The Following Article Has Many Positive Tips About Wine
When it comes to choosing wine for yourself or for loved ones, it can be a but difficult, especially if you don't know much about wine to begin with. Luckily, the following article will serve as a great guideline about selecting the right wine. Read on and learn everything you need to about choosing the perfect bottle of wine.
Make a habit of trying new wines as often as you can. You will have the best chances of finding a wine that suits your tastes if you take the time to experiment with them. Everyone has different tastes, so just because a wine is said to be excellent does not mean that you will enjoy it, so get out there and try them.
If you plan to learn about and collect wines, invest in proper storage. Wine is best when kept in a cooler, more humid environment. Many people prefer to build out a basement or cellar for storing wine. However, if your needs are smaller, there are many options for in-home storage on the market.
When purchasing a wine for dinner tonight, make sure to ask in the store if the wine is ready to drink. Some wines need to age in order for their true flavor to come out. This might mean months or even years should go by before the bottle is enjoyed. By asking if the wine is ready to drink, you have a better chance of walking out with a bottle you will enjoy.
You can make amazing pairings with your favorite wine. For example, you can pair a Chardonnay with either Gouda or Provolone. For stronger cheeses, such as Cheddar, opt for a Cabernet such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet Franc. Zinfandel wines go beautifully with the more delicate cheeses such as Feta and Gouda.
If you are a wine newbie and you are looking for a wine to try, why not go to a wine tasting? At these events, you can taste many different wines until you find one the best suits your taste. Also, if you find one you like, you can usually purchase a bottle at the same time.
If you are in the market for champagne for a wedding or other festive event, consider a sparkling wine instead. Sparkling wines are typically from California, and they taste similar to a Champagne. They are almost always less expensive, making it easier to afford a large quantity for big events.
If you are trying to find a way to drink a less-expensive wine, consider making it into a punch or Sangria. Adding some fruit, a bit of sweet soda and a little ice can completely change the taste. This makes for a nice addition to a baby shower or birthday party, and one of your guests is sure to enjoy.
Wine lovers should visit wineries. Wine country is extremely beautiful, and you can obtain a new appreciation and knowledge for wine.
Take notes on any wine you try. if you are really getting into wines, you'll be tasting dozens of them over the course of the year, easily. It can be tough to keep track of what your impressions are on certain bottles, especially if they shared many similarities with only subtle differences. Making notes will help keep you on track.
When tasting wine, you should avoid distractions as much as possible. Keep in mind that the presence of a strong smell in the room might influence how you perceive the aroma of the wine you are tasting. The temperature of the room and of the bottle you are tasting will also influence your impressions.
Take the advice of wine critics with a grain of salt since you may have entirely different tastes than they do. Many people rely on critics to give them advice on what wines to select, but they end up disappointed. Only do this if you are sure that you and the critic have very similar palates.
If you are like most people who do not have a wine cellar in their house, find a dark place in your home to store the wine. Make sure the temperature is kept fairly constant and moderate. One good place to store your wine is the bottom of your closet.
When drinking red wine, the proper temperature is room temperature. If your wine is not at that temperature when you are going to drink it, you can warm the wine and glasses in hot water for a bit, then dry them off before pouring. This will ensure that your wine will be at the proper temperature when drinking.
As was mentioned in the beginning of this article, selecting a nice bottle of wine can be daunting if you are new to the wold of wine. Make sure to implement the information you've just read before your next trip to the grocery store so that you make the best decision possible. And always remember to drink responsibly!

- redirectURLs URI-escaping
Original Comment: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/wsrp-interop/200711/msg00000.html
Summary: Does the rewrite result of a wsrp_rewrite expression in redirectURLs need to be URI-escaped? Another question which arises: the rewrite expression is a URL value, therefor it needs to be URL escaped. Consumers must not expect the redirect URL to contain directly parseable rewrite expressions.
- URI-escape the rewrite result. This is required since the redirectURL obviously needs to be a valid URL.
- Consumers should be prepared to handle both cases similar to XML escaping in rewrite tokens in the markup. This means a redirectURL being an already valid URI with escaped rewrite expression within a URL parameter value, and the redirectURL string being interpreted as a plain string with not yet escaped rewrite expression becoming a valid URL after rewriting. This gives Producers the largest flexibility on mechanisms they use to generate the redirectURL string, either directly within the portlet or using frameworks returning already valid URLs with URI escaped parameter values.
Resolution: Accept above proposal. Do not change the spec since the current interpretation of the redirectURL field and the symmetry to URL rewriting in markup seems sufficient to cover the proposed resolution.
- portlet cookies transport
Original Comment: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/wsrp-interop/200803/msg00001.html
Summary: Where need cookies set by portlets / returned to portlets need to flow? Within the protocol structure ClientAttributes or at the HTTP transport level?
Proposal: Tie portlet cookies to the transport level similar to Producer managed cookies as a plain HTTP state mechanism. Cookies should be transferred and managed at the transport level. This is already covered by the specification since 1.0 and does not introduce any need for a spec change. Discussions also clarified that Producers (thus portlets) can return cookies with any response on the markup interface. The only "special handling" applies to "scoped cookies" defined by the init cookie protocol and returned with initCookie() response. Here the Consumer manages cookies in a scoped manner as specified in section 4.1.20. Portlet cookies or any cookies returned outside of initCookie() are not scoped or namespaced.
Resolution: Accept above proposal. No changes required to spec, errata or other documents.
- getPortletProperties - mapping of qnames to names string array
Original Comment: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/wsrp-interop/200803/msg00001.html
Summary: the PropertyDescription type declares property identifiers (names) being of type xsd:QName. However the getPortletProperties() operation takes a names array as a first class citizen parameter of type xsd:string maxOccurs="unbounded". A mapping of the types is needed.
Proposal: 4 options are discussed on the ML:
- use java Qname as String notation as used e.g. in JSR286
- use local part only
- use XML notation
- define well known extension
Resolution: The most interoperable and compatible with future versions is option 2. The solution is a follows:
- Producers
generate a PropertyDescription for portlet properties (and this is only necessary for those) with an empty namespace URI ("") and a local part
Producers which expose portlets / backends which indeed use Qnames for their portlet properties need to encode those Qnames to fit into the local part of PropertDescription.qname only. Since PortletProperties are private to the portlet/producer, the encoding of an eventual Qname to a string is opaque to the Consumer and is a Producer choice.
Producers need to make sure that the encoded results contain valid values for the local part of a Qname as defined in the W3C Namespace 1.0 recommendation.
upon receiving a getProperty(.., names) operation, Producers which have choosen to encode the local part need to decode the names' values with the algorithm chosen in 3..
- Consumers
Consumers pass only the local parts of PropertDescription.Qname in the getProperty(.., names) operation as a String value.
Consumers should ignore the namespace URI from PropertyDescription.QName
- the encoding of the local part is opaque to the Consumer. Consumer must forward the value unchanged.
- Producers
- Double encoding of {params}:
- {wsrp-url}
- {wsrp-navigationalValues}
- How to rewrite binary
- Use 8859-1 by default
- Errata?
- Primer
- How can the consumer track current mode and window state when the producer return empty ""
- Options:
- Extension: New {params} for current mode and state
- Resend templates when mode/state change
- Errata?
- Primer
- Options:
- WSRP 1.0: Is navigational state tied to mode
- Should be independent of mode
- WSRP 1.0: How should producers deal with non spec {params}
- CS 216 (1.0 errata)
- Primer - Non TC Extended params should not start "wsrp-"
- Primer Section on what {param} require double encoding
- wsrp-url
- wsrp-navigationalValues
- Should wsrp-secureURL's default value be based on the secureClientCommunication
- No - URLs must be able to navigate in and out of secure pages
- If another portlet switches to non-secure URL the navigational state may be sent unsecured
- Primer
- Extension to not-resend templates?
- XML parser may change line feed/carriage return
- Use itemBinary
- Use CDATA section -- needs testing (should preserve whitespace)
- primer?
- XML character encoding vs. Mime Type charset
Use itemString's character encoding as the XML's encoding <?xml version="1.0" charset="Shift_JIS"?>
- Use itemBinary and mimeType="text/plain; charset=Shift_JIS"
- Re-encode item string as UTF (java/.NET default) -- lose original encoding
- Primer?
namespacePrefix format
Original Comment: The WSRP spec implies that the namespace prefix can be used for things like Javascript and tag ids. However, it does not specify any format (e.g. must start with letter or '_' followed by letters, digits and '_').
Summary: The current spec allows the namespacePrefix to have any value, however it should be constrained to widely usable values.
Proposal: In order to ensure usability of the prefix in various technologies (html, javascript, css, jsf, etc.). The value of the namespacePrefix MUST start with a US-ASCII letter [A-Za-z] followed by zero or more US-ASCII letters [A-Za-z] digits [0-9] and underscores [_]. [A-Za-z]([A-Za-z]|[0-9]|_)*
Resolution: Errata? Primer?
- Unable to set the response-code for getResource
Summary: Currently it is not possible to set the response-code (HTTP status) on resources fetched via getResource(). This is important as the response code may contain information useful to the client.
Map Faults to various error codes (e.g OperationFailed - 500)
- Add a well known client attribute (e.g. wsrp:extra-HTTP-STATUS)
- Add a full extension
- template - use for adding new comments

"How goes the fight for your soul?" I wonder, when was the last time someone asked you that question? I suspect few Christians give the sort of attention to this question that it deserves. We mostly live our lives under the powerful illusion of peace and security, but a true war for our soul resides in each passing moment.
John Owen, a leading Puritan theologian of the 17th century, brings this question to the forefront in his classic work, The Mortification of Sin. What follows is not meant to be a summary of the whole, but a short reflection on four nuggets of wisdom from that work (there are many, many more that might have been included). I pray it will be useful to you in the fight for your soul.
1) Recognize you are at war
And if at war, you can be sure you have an enemy. Not only does the devil prowl around "like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour" (1 Pet. 5:8), but the sin in our own hearts is always at work to ruin us. Do we live our lives like men being hunted—like soldiers behind enemy lines? Owen warns us that sin is not idle. It aims all of its restless movements at our destruction.
"If, then, sin will be always acting, if we be not always mortifying, we are lost creatures…If sin be subtle, watchful, strong, and always at work in the business of killing our souls, and we be slothful, negligent, foolish, in proceeding to the ruin thereof, can we expect a comfortable event? There is not a day but sin foils or is foiled, prevails or is prevailed on…there is no safety against it but in constant warfare." (52)
Did you pray yesterday and wonder why you fall today? Did you trust in God's Word two hours ago and are surprised by sin's victory in the present hour? Well, sin is always on the move, and we must always be growing in grace to fight it.
2) Fight by the Spirit
There are people who know they are at war, even without the Spirit. They have never come to Christ, but they see the evil effects of their sin, and they want to rid themselves of it. What does Owen say concerning the one in this condition?
"This is the saddest warfare that any poor creature can be engaged in. A soul under the power of conviction from the law is pressed to fight against sin, but has no strength for the combat. They cannot but fight, and they can never conquer…" (62)
If you have not turned to Christ and taken refuge in him—if you have not received his Spirit that seals you and empowers you—this is the first order of business. You will make no progress of any spiritual value until "the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus" (Rom. 8:2).
3) Study your enemy
In warfare, we want to know the strategy of our enemy, his strengths and weaknesses. Owen urges us, even in times of apparent peace, to be studying our enemy (remember, sin is always on the move). Consider this helpful line of thought:
"This is our enemy; this is his way and progress, these are his advantages, thus has he prevailed, and thus he will do, if not prevented." (76)
Have you identified the particular sins that most often ensnare you? Do you know the occasions they are likely to strike? Do you know the character of your thoughts and feelings just before the enemy pounces? Do you have a battle plan before the battle has begun?
4) Keep the cross at the center
All of our striving, our efforts, our prayers, readings, fellowship, meditations, and whatever else we may do in combating sin, must be done by faith in Christ and his finished work on the cross. His death accomplished our sure victory, and we have been buried with him that we might walk in newness of life (Rom 6:4). This is the basis for our warfare, and we must stand on it daily.
"Let faith look on Christ in the gospel as he is set forth dying and crucified for us. Look on him under the weight of our sins, praying, bleeding, dying; bring him in that condition into your heart by faith; apply his blood so shed to your corruptions. Do this daily." (138)

I have to express some appreciation to this writer just for rescuing me from this particular difficulty. Just after looking through the the web and seeing opinions that were not productive, I figured my entire life was done. Existing without the presence of solutions to the problems you've solved all through your site is a crucial case, as well as ones that would have adversely damaged my career if I had not come across your blog. Your personal mastery and kindness in dealing with all the things was excellent. I'm not sure what I would've done if I hadn't come across such a step like this. I can also now look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for your reliable and effective help. I will not be reluctant to refer your site to anyone who would need guidance about this area.

The Japan Virtual Currency Exchanges Association (JVCEA), a group created in April 2018 by cryptocurrency exchange operators in Japan to bring clarity to the industry has achieved a new milestone.
According to an interview reported by Bitcoin.com, the JVCEA is now officially recognized by Japan's Financial Services Agency (JFSA) as a self-regulatory organization (SRO) to detect the activity of cryptocurrency exchanges operating in the country.
The new status means that the JVCEA will ensure that the 16 member exchanges that currently belong to the group will operate their businesses in the right way by improving their safety systems and meeting up with other regulatory requirements stipulated.
However, the JFSA remains the highest financial regulatory body in Japan and will still collaborate with the JVCEA to ensure that the standards required of crypto exchange operators are met.
The JFSA said in the report,
"We think it necessary [for us] to work with the JVCEA closely so that the association can successfully perform self-regulatory functions through the establishment and application of self-regulatory rules and monitoring of their members."
One of the tasks set before the JVCEA following their new status is to create "detailed wallet management processes" for some areas not covered by existing laws for crypto exchanges. The JFSA outlines "margin trading" on the exchanges as an example of a process which the new SRO will create a regulation to govern it. Additionally, any law formed by the JVCEA in this respect will remain to bind on the member exchanges since they are the ones to take part in the decision-making.
The new organization was also encouraged by the JFSA to use its status as an SRO to take actions that will make member exchanges to adapt quickly with changing demands of the industry.
In the future, the JFSA says it will accept and review new applications submitted by other groups to exist as a self-regulatory organization.
"If another SRO submits an application for approval, the JFSA will scrutinize it from the viewpoint of the applicant's effectiveness in performing self-regulatory functions." the regulators said in the announcement.
Japan's decision to allow cryptocurrency exchanges to regulate themselves mean that the region has once again proven to be a crypto-friendly one. We reported earlier that the JFSA replaced the term virtual currencies with crypto-assets to avoid confusion among citizens about what the new asset class legally stands for.
Also in the last month, authorities in the country disclosed that they would slightly amend existing regulations to make sure that those who make money from cryptocurrencies pay required taxes

Wonderful capture of the hummers, as well as flowers and dogs. Some things move fast, some more slowly, but the helicoptering hummers do have the ability to have "holding patterns" as pilots!

Wonderful, wonderful summer photographs, Vicki. Layla is priceless.
I also liked seeing your spiral notebook. I have a collection of notebooks of various shapes and sizes, some bound, some spiral, some plain paged, some lined, some grid. Each is has a designation that really helps me keep up with various interests.

Last week, Tinashe dropped the trippy trailer for her upcoming sophomore LP, Joyride, promising a "new era" and warning us she "can't be ignored, motherf--ker."
Now, we've gotten a taste of T's fresh revival with the blurry slow jam "Party Favors." The 22-year-old teased in a recent interview with Rolling Stone that the track is "a very in-your-face first impression," and she wasn't kidding.
Over a rickety, grinding beat courtesy of frequent Drake collaborator Boy-1da, Tinashe hazily boasts, "They don't go as hard as I do/I brought some to the party for you/I'll mix it up and serve it for you/Party favors for you." The sultry chill-out track — which also includes an Auto-Tuned verse from buzzy rapper Young Thug — is a far cry from the hooky, radio-friendly "2 On," and more in the vein of her brooding "Cold Sweat."
T told Rolling Stone that she's also teamed up with hit-making producers Dr. Luke and Max Martin for Joyride, so it sounds like we'll be hearing her navigate both sides of the spectrum -- from club bangers to icy slow jams -- when the album releases in November.

Picked these up from the LHS this morning. Just wanted to share a couple pics. Sorry quality isn't the greatest.
I just ordered mine....have you had yours out on the water yet?
Not yet hopefully this week
is that the 1/10 E-Revo!?!?! That Catamaran dwarfs it!
We are all one race. The human race.
Ya its the 1/10 Erevo lol
The one thing that is driving me nuts is the lack of a driver lol....I'll have to try and find something to put in the driver seat.
I have the spartan and it's a blast on the water. Wasn't too thrilled with the color scheme but it kinda grows on you. Definitely will stand out on the water. Will have to pick one up too!
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
It will be interesting to see the handling characteristics compared to the spartan. Imagine it will be more stable with the double hull design.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
So jealous. I want an M41 so bad now.
Mine just shipped from Tower, actually get it today. Can't wait.
So what is the overall quality of the boat ? How soon before you run it.

I actually posted it for sale. I don't live by water and am too lazy to gather everything up and drive 30 min to use it lol.

Family Reunion Favors
Puja Lalwani
Oct 21, 2018
Family reunion favors give every family member something by which they can associate with the family they belong to. To generate such an association and all the related positivity, take a look at some of these ideas for the same.
At a family reunion, you get together to relive old memories, to meet the extended family you never knew you had, and simply to reunite as a 'family'. The warmth that is associated with family, is best experienced at a family reunion.
You probably have an image of crazy family members making the most of the family reunion you are planning to host. While this may be the case sometimes, mostly, it's just a simple, fun affair. Now, you've probably done everything while planning a family reunion, to ensure that everything is perfect, from the invitations, to the food, to the activities.
But what about the favors? You do want your family members to go back with wonderful memories of the grand reunion you have planned, don't you? What can you give out as favors for family reunions? Take a look at some of these ideas that will solve your dilemma.
Family Tree
Nothing is better as a family reunion favor as a family tree. Find pictures of old family members, and create a scrapbook, or print these pictures on a t-shirt, and circulate them as gifts. These are one of the most personalized family reunion favors.
Now, if some of you are overwhelmed by the idea of searching for and discovering the roots of your family, start a family tree from your or your previous generation. Though in definition a family tree is supposed to comprise 'all' members of a family, create a new trend by starting your family tree from 'scratch'.
Create a scrapbook, with pictures of your family members, and let them add their own inputs to it. Circulate it around at the family reunion, and allow it to grow. Send out copies to all the members after the reunion.
A Real Family Tree
This implies gifting a tree sapling to all families, that they can plant in their yard, as a reminder of the wonderful family reunion you have hosted. It should be easy to plant, because not everyone has a green thumb.
Wrap around the sapling a little ribbon, and if possible, have your family name engraved on the pot. While the tree will be planted, the pot can remain as a favor. Don't forget to include instructions on how to plant the trees when you give them as favors.
Personalized Mouse Pads
Let's give out something that is slightly more affordable. Have the family name, the family reunion location, and the date of the family reunion printed on an interesting background, on a mouse pad. It is a great utilitarian favor, and you will definitely be remembered.
Baseball Caps with Candy Bars
Get the family name, and the date and location of the family reunion printed on baseball caps. Fill up the cap with candy bars of your choice, and wrap it with net and ribbon. These make great favors for a family reunion.
Everyone loves candy, and everyone wears baseball caps. These favors are great if you have organized a family reunion outdoors.
Key Chains
Key chains are not tacky gifts, especially when inscribed with the family name and the date of the family reunion. Use wooden key chains, or metal key chains. Use glass key chains with the details pressed within the glass. Unique, simple and wonderful.
Gift Basket
If you have the funds and want your favors to be really extravagant, just toss all these mentioned gifts in a gift basket, and hand them out as favors. This one cannot be forgotten. Just remember, you will raise the bar for every other family reunion hosted by other family members!
So after you've planned what your family would call the best family reunion ever, part with wonderful memories by handing out these great favors.

Rosie Assoulin quickly transitioned from one-to-watch to the one that everyone wants. Endlessly charming, each collection demands attention thanks to the designer's elevated approach to whimsical nonchalance.
Assoulin fell in love with fashion at an early age, experimenting with patterns and textures on her grandmother's sewing machine. After a short stint at the Fashion Institute of Technology, she cut her teeth among fashion greats such as Oscar de la Renta and Lanvin before launching her eponymous label in 2014. We are spellbound by the statement-making designs with just the right amount of surrealism.

"How on earth do you memorize all those lines??!"
This is one of those questions actors get all the time. Back when I was a child, we memorized poems in elementary school (do they still do that?), but as the world becomes more digitized and we don't even have to remember phone numbers, people see memorization as some sort of magic trick.
I always answer, "That's the easy part!" Learning lines is the bare minimum of an actor's responsibility. But yes, it is important, and yes, we do have to learn the lines exactly as written, so it takes work.
Say I have the line, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate." (Okay, that's from a sonnet, not a play, but it makes a good example.)
I need to learn that line verbatim, and I need to know it so well that it will come out of my mouth even if an audience member's cell phone rings twenty times or a stray cat walks across the stage. (Yes, both have happened to me.) In a pinch I could paraphrase and say, "Should I talk about the differences between you and hot weather?" But that doesn't have the music of the original; it's not poetic at all. And I definitely don't want to say, "Shall I compare thee to . . . ummmm . . . oh heck, it's on the tip of my tongue . . .". No, no, no. I have to know those lines cold.
When I first started researching dementia care, learning lines was the last thing on my mind. But then I attended several workshops with Teepa Snow. They call her the "dementia whisperer" because she has so many ways to connect with people who have dementia. I learned a lot from Teepa, including brain science, communication tools, and a way of thinking about the progression of the disease that's really positive.
I even learned some lines — simple phrases that made my life as a caregiver much easier and more rewarding. And I learned one thing I should never say again.
The line she told me to erase from my script was, "Don't you remember?" Teepa taught us that this line is torture to a person with dementia. If my mom isn't sure where her hearing aid is and thinks it's been stolen, it doesn't help to say, "Don't you remember? You took it out and asked me to put it in my purse because the restaurant was too loud. Don't you remember that??"
No, she doesn't remember. She's afraid she's been robbed, and now I'm reminding her that something even scarier is happening: she's losing her memory.
Instead, I learned a valuable line from Teepa's script, a two-word sentence I need to be able to say at a moment's notice: "I'm sorry." I learned to say, "I'm sorry, Mom, I put your hearing aid in my purse to keep it safe after you took it out. That must have scared you to think it had been stolen! I'm so sorry. Do you want it now?" By saying "I'm sorry," I preserve my mom's dignity and reassure her that I care about how she feels.
At first it was hard to apologize for things I knew weren't my fault. It felt dishonest and manipulative. But I got used to it. Ultimately, I've come to believe that when I tell Mom I'm sorry, I'm not being the least bit dishonest. I am sorry that she has to struggle with dementia. I am sorry that she gets confused and scared. The least I can do is try not to make it worse.
The other line I learned from Teepa is "Tell me about that." This is one of the best sentences I have ever added to my script. When Mom says she liked it better at her old apartment, I don't have to say, "Well, Mom, that's too bad. You live in assisted living now. You have dementia. I wouldn't feel safe leaving you alone in your old apartment, so you might as well get used to it here." That might be exactly what I'm thinking, but I don't have to say it.
Instead I say, "Tell me about that." And she can tell me how much she liked her balcony, or how she misses having her own washer and dryer. She could be talking about the last place she lived, or an apartment she had forty years ago, or an imaginary place her brain has created. It doesn't matter: she's telling me what's on her mind, and it's important for me to remember that she still has a mind.
I like this script better than the old one. I know these lines by heart. Mom responds well to them. She feels heard, I feel relieved, and we can enjoy each other's company a while longer.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is considered to be a cult hit, but this cult must be massive because pretty much everyone loves the show. For die-hard fans of Always Sunny, hearing someone denounce the show as "silly" or "dumb" is infuriating, as it pushes boundaries and challenges its viewers in nearly every episode.
Few TV shows dare to go as far as Always Sunny did in their first season, and the show continues to shock and delight its fans today. The fact that Always Sunny finished its twelfth season with some of the best content yet is lunacy. Most comedies are limping to their death at this stage, but Sunny keeps on making us laugh harder than they did the year before. A lot of shows want to go out on top, and Always Sunny will do that no matter when they choose to end it (heaven forbid).
Like many comedies, there are a large amount of running-jokes that only true fans of the show will totally appreciate. Unlike other comedies, thougha, Always Sunny has been bringing these themes and jokes to their logical extremes and conclusions. They aren't satisfied just stringing their viewers along, and it makes for even more shocking moments when these jokes are put to rest.
Here are the 15 Most Insanely Long-Running Jokes in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
15 "What's Up, B-----es?"
"What's up, b----es?" is one of the most recognizable Always Sunny quotes in existence. In nearly every episode, someone (almost exclusively Mac or Dee) is bursting in with the phrase. It's so ingrained in the gang's vernacular that even Schmitty, an old member of the gang played by Jason Sudeikis, enters this way in the one episode in which we see him.
The phrase first appeared in the episode "Charlie Gets Crippled", when Mac enters with a sweet skid in a wheelchair. Dee has uttered it a few times, as has Frank and even Cricket. It's said so frequently that it has become the preferred greeting of Always Sunny fans everywhere. At this point, "What's up, b----es" has become the Jeep-wave of the fan base.
14 The Lawyer
The Lawyer is one of the fantastic characters in Always Sunny with no name, save for his job description. We see him in multiple episodes, starting with "Dennis and Dee's Mom is Dead", and his hatred for the gang has festered into a complex since.
While his original role was only to execute the wishes of Barbra Reynolds, it has morphed into destroying the gang at all costs. This obsession seems to have began in "Paddy's Pub: Home of the Original Kitten Mittens" when he outwitted the group into singing over all of their merchandising revenue, but continued as he legally defended the gang's adversaries along the way.
In the latest episode involving The Lawyer, he attempts to beat the gang in the courtroom, revealing his obsessive hatred of them to the judge. In classic Always Sunny fashion, by the end of the episode The Lawyer is maimed and disgraced when Charlie's bird-law theory proves correct.
13 Just Say Waitress
While The Lawyer's true name is never fully revealed, The Waitress' name has become a running joke that spans the entire series. It is eventually revealed that the gang went to high school with her, which makes not knowing her name that much more egregious.
No member of the gang knows the Waitress' real name, despite the fact that she doesn't even seem to be a waitress anymore. Charlie, who is obsessed with her, may not even know her name off the top of his head. Th issue of her name is brought up nearly every time they call her "Waitress" to her face. She can't believe that they don't know what it is, which is a reference to the length of time the viewers have been in the dark about her name.
Always Sunny, unlike other shows, has shown the ability to fully culminate long-running jokes. There are a few examples of this ahead, but don't be surprised if The Waitress' name is revealed in upcoming seasons.
12 Cricket's Downward Spiral
The fact that everything the gang touches turns to garbage is no more evident than in Rickety Cricket. Cricket was a priest when he started getting mixed up with the gang. He eventually left the clergy because Dee professed her love to him, sending him into a downward spiral that is unrivaled on the series.
Cricket is a disgusting mess by the most recent season - which showed him trying to get his life back on track, only to get high on PCP and fall in love with a dog. The years of abuse by the gang has made him into a monster. It seems that each season the gang adds an emotional or physical scar to Cricket.
Much of what the gang does has no real long-lasting effect on them. They get away with some horrible things and keep right on going in the next episode. Cricket serves as a reminder of sorts, with his half-burned head and nasty neck-scar showing the abuse he's been subjected to on behalf of the gang. Cricket is the audience's portal to the past, and a living piece of Always Sunny art that is continuously being added to.
11 Dee's Gagging
Dee's gagging, while it hasn't been the focal point of many recent episodes, is still a hallmark of the Always Sunny brand. Every time Dee is in a stressful situation or faced with a man she finds attractive, Dee gags and it gets a laugh.
One of the reasons Dee's gag is so great is because Kaitlin Olsen (Dee) has one of the best gags ever. It has become a staple of Sunny lore and fans are known to ask Olsen for a gag when they recognize her in public. Some of the most iconic gags came in the episodes "Charlie and Dee Find Love" and "Dennis Reynolds: An Erotic Life". Both of these gags came at a time when we were familiar with Dee's gagging, but cemented its place in the running-joke Hall of Fame of Always Sunny.
10 Charlie and The Waitress
The groundwork for Charlie's obsession with The Waitress began in the very first episode of the series, making it the longest-running joke in the show. Charlie begins with some light creepiness - continuously asking her out and such - but a few seasons later he's a full-on stalker.
Everything Charlie does revolves around getting The Waitress to like him. This is on display in its most sinister form in "Charlie and Dee Find Love", when Charlie seduces and breaks the heart of a beautiful woman for the chance to seem like less of a creep to The Waitress. He also wrote, directed, and produced an entire musical just to ask her to marry him, which was obviously doomed from the start.
Charlie's relationship with The Waitress is one example of how Always Sunny is unlike any other comedy. Finally, after seasons of watching him struggle, Charlie convinces The Waitress to have sex with him by berating her about how bad her life has become. After this, Always Sunny flips the whole situation on its head when Charlie runs to Dee's place to hide from The Waitress, who is now stalking him.
9 Uncle Jack's Hands
Charlie's uncle Jack has been a strange side character in the Always Sunny universe since he was first introduced. He's characterized as a creep, and it's even insinuated that he may have molested Charlie as a young boy.
Uncle Jack has a few running-jokes associated with him, as his creepiness leads him to advocate for "tasteful artistic" photos of naked boys on live TV in "Gun Fever Too: Still Hot". His most hilarious complex, though, surrounds the size of his hands.
Jack is incredibly self conscious about his small hands, which is a theme first introduced when he and The Lawyer square-off in "Dennis Gets Divorced". Jack references them nearly every time he's on the show after this, which culminates in the episode "McPoyle vs . Ponderosa: Trial of the Century", where he can be seen wearing fake hands over his own. When he tries to point emphatically, one of his fake hands flies off, sending Jack running after it, screeching "NOBODY LOOK!" and making for one of his finest scenes on the show.
8 Mac Knowing Karate
Out of a group that is in contention for the least self-aware people on television, Mac takes the cake. Mac is blissfully ignorant about many aspects of his own character (more on the obvious ahead). One point that eludes him is his self-taught karate expertise.
Mac perpetually thinks that he has superior athletic ability. There are constant references to his ability to perform stunts and fight, even though all of the evidence points to the fact he can do neither.
Mac's delusions usually manifest themselves in mishaps, though this joke probably reached its peak in the episode "Mac Day". In this episode, Mac is forcibly entered into a karate tournament, where he scores a point before being knocked out. Even though he was clearly beaten in the fight, the point he scored seemed to reinforce his delusions.
It's not clear what will finally prove to Mac that he has no athletic ability, but Always Sunny will hopefully find a way to bring closure to this topic.
7 The McPoyles
The McPoyles are such a fantastic family of side characters that they may deserve their own article. There are multiple running-jokes associated with them, as they're one of the earlier reoccurring characters to which we're introduced.
The McPoyles are the milk-loving, dirty, incestuously creepy family that is first introduced in "Charlie Got Molested". At first we are only introduced to twins Liam and Ryan, but the family soon grows to include a massive lineage of creepy individuals.
The McPoyles have become a staple of Always Sunny, even though Jimmi Simpson (Liam) is on to bigger and better things. Always Sunny fans who watched Westworld cracked up when Simpson's character screamed "Don't touch her!" in the latter show, remembering his iconic "You will call her!" in "Who Got Dee Pregnant".
6 Maurine Ponderosa Transition Into a Cat
Maurine Ponderosa's transition into a cat is something that couldn't have been planned for her character. When she was first introduced, she loved cats but no one could predict the complex that would develop by season twelve. Even during her wedding to Liam, she can be seen with a breast enlargement but no hint of the cat surgery to follow.
The first time we see what Dennis' alimony has been used for is during "Mac Kills His Dad", where she can be seen with raised cheek bones and a catlike appearance. It isn't until "McPoyle vs . Ponderosa: Trial of the Century", though, that we see her go full-cat. Unfortunately, it looks as though this joke has run its course, as Maurine Ponderosa's death is the focal point of an episode in the latest season.
5 Bird Law
Charlie Kelly has some of the most aggressive quirks in all of television. Much like Mac's delusions of being a karate master, Charlie has somehow convinced himself he is fluent in a specialty of law he created called "bird law."
The first time Charlie mentions bird law is in the episode "The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis". From there, it devolved into multiple references and an eventual court case. Much like many other elements of the show, the bird law joke made its way to its logical conclusion: Charlie successfully arguing a bird law case in court.
In "McPoyle vs . Ponderosa: Trial of the Century", Charlie's weird specialty actually served a purpose, as he was able to break the case by surmising that a bird took out Liam's eye. This is one of the more improbably running-jokes on the show, and it will be fascinating and hilarious to see where it goes next.
4 Dennis is a Psychopath
The foundation of Dennis' gradual slope into psychopathy can be seen as early as the first two seasons of Always Sunny. While he wasn't always the rage-filled Dennis we know and love today, the ingredients for his current character were certainly present.
Dennis' character progression is one of the best on television. When the show began, Dennis was more of the straight-man to the gang's crazed antics. He wouldn't fly off the handle as easily as he does now, and his obsessions were kept in check. Now, Dennis' anger runs wild and the more we learn about his private life, the more crazy he seems.
The first real insight into Dennis' id can be seen in the D.E.N.N.I.S. system, "the implication," and his admitted lack of feelings. While there are multiple moments when it could have peaked, many people probably see his rant at Wally in "Mac and Dennis Move to the Suburbs" to be the culmination of his hysteria. Unfortunately, Glenn Howerton got himself his own show and likely won't be seen much in Always Sunny from here on out.
3 Dee is a Bird
Dee as a bird is one of the dumbest reoccurring joke in the show, but that's what makes it so great. There's really not much to say about the joke that hasn't already been said by the characters. Simply put, Dee is a bird.
The part that makes this joke work is how genuinely funny all of the characters find it. Dennis cracks up any time someone calls her a bird, as if it is the first time he's ever heard it. Even when Dee interrupts Frank's telling in "The Gang Broke Dee", everyone is genuinely disappointed Frank didn't get the joke off.
This joke just hammers home the fact that everyone hates Dee. Even though Charlie is viewed as the lowest in the pecking order, the gang genuinely doesn't care about Dee, and laughs at her expense any time they get the chance.
2 Charlie's Illiteracy
"Illiteracy, what does that even mean?"
The fact that Charlie can't read is constantly putting the gang at a disadvantage, from putting on the "closed" sign and thinking it says "Coors" to singing the gang up for a dance marathon with the bar as collateral.
Charlie's illiteracy really serves as a starting-point for how dumb he is. The theme is first introduced in Dennis' political speech in "The Gang Runs For Office", but seems to progressively get worse as the show goes on. Charlie is hilariously stupid and gullible, even believing he gained super-intelligence from pills he was taking in "Flowers For Charlie", complete with bizarre side effects.
Some of the best moments in the show are caused by Charlie's inability to read, including a nearly three minute blooper highlight of Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton trying to get through the, "You see that door marked 'Pirate'? You think a pirate lives in there?" scene.
1 Mac is Gay
There was never going to be a number one other than Mac's sexuality. The journey of Mac finding his true sexuality has taken twelve seasons, and has helped to cement Always Sunny as one of the best comedies on TV.
Mac being gay displayed Always Sunny's commitment to character development as well as its willingness to fully realize its themes. Mac's sexuality was first hinted at when he began dating Carmen and developed over subsequent seasons. Still, not many fans expected what would eventually come of it.
In the episode "Hero or Hate Crime", Mac's sexuality is explored to its fullest extent. His "Ass Pounder 4000" being brought into the discussion was probably the height of Mac's obvious homosexuality, and it was presented as such. Finally, after years of denial, Mac comes out of the closet in this episode.
This was a shock for much of the Always Sunny fan base, but it truly displays how great the show is. Instead of dragging this joke out season after season, the gang finally put it to rest as it reached its logical end.

Freeman's Journal
The Freeman's Journal was the oldest nationalist newspaper in Dublin, Ireland.[1] It was founded in 1763 by Charles Lucas and was identified with radical 18th-century Protestant patriot politicians Henry Grattan and Henry Flood. This changed from 1784 when it passed to Francis Higgins (better known as the "Sham Squire")[2][3] and took a more pro-British and pro-administration view. In fact Francis Higgins is mentioned in the Secret Service Money Book as having betrayed Lord Edward FitzGerald. Higgins was paid £1,000 for information on FitzGerald's capture.[4]
|Daily newspaper
|Charles Lucas
|John Turner Fearon
|Political alignment
|moderate Irish nationalist
|Ceased publication
In the 19th century it became more nationalist in tone, particularly under the control and inspiration of Sir John Gray (1815–75).
The Journal, as it was widely known as, was the leading newspaper in Ireland throughout the 19th century. Contemporary sources record it being read to the largely illiterate population by priests and local teachers gathering in homes. It was mentioned in contemporary literature and was seen as symbolising Irish newspapers for most of its time. By the 1880s it had become the primary media supporter of Charles Stewart Parnell and the Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP).
It was challenged on all sides by rivals. On the nationalist side some preferred The Nation founded by Thomas Davis while others, including radical supporters of Parnell, read the United Irishman. The Anglo-Irish establishment in contrast read the historically Irish unionist The Irish Times. With the split in the IPP over Parnell's relationship with Katherine O'Shea, its readership split too. While The Journal went with the majority in 1893 in opposing Parnell, a minority moved to read the Daily Irish Independent. It was also challenged from the turn of the century by William O'Brien's Irish People and the Cork Free Press. With Thomas Sexton becoming Chairman of the Board of Directors (1893–1911), the Journal languished under his spartanic management.
The collapse of the IPP in 1918, and the electoral success of Sinn Féin, saw a more radical nationalism appear that was out of step with the moderation of the Journal. It found itself overshadowed by the more aggressively marketed Irish Independent, the successor to the Daily Irish Independent. Just prior to the outbreak of the Irish Civil War in March 1922, the Freeman's Journal printing machinery was destroyed by Anti-Treaty IRA men under Rory O'Connor for its support of the Anglo-Irish Treaty. It did not resume publication until after the outbreak of civil war, when the Irish Free State re-asserted its authority over the country.
The Freeman's Journal ceased publication in 1924, when it was merged with the Irish Independent. Until the 1990s, the Irish Independent included the words 'Incorporating the Freeman's Journal' in its mast-head over its editorials.
In fictionEdit
James Joyce's novel Ulysses immortalised the Freeman's Journal as the place of employment of Leopold Bloom, who sold advertisements for the paper.

Creator: Bajona, Claustre and Kehoe, Timothy Jerome, 1953- Series: Staff report (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Research Department) Number: 378 Abstract:
In models in which convergence in income levels across closed countries is driven by faster accumulation of a productive factor in the poorer countries, opening these countries to trade can stop convergence and even cause divergence. We make this point using a dynamic Heckscher-Ohlin model — a combination of a static two-good, two-factor Heckscher-Ohlin trade model and a two-sector growth model — with infinitely lived consumers where international borrowing and lending are not permitted. We obtain two main results: First, countries that differ only in their initial endowments of capital per worker may converge or diverge in income levels over time, depending on the elasticity of substitution between traded goods. Divergence can occur for parameter values that would imply convergence in a world of closed economies and vice versa. Second, factor price equalization in a given period does not imply factor price equalization in future periods.

Creator: Atkeson, Andrew and Burstein, Ariel Series: Staff report (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Research Department) Number: 459 Abstract:
We examine the quantitative impact of policy-induced changes in innovative investment by firms on growth in aggregate productivity and output in a model that nests several of the canonical models in the literature. We isolate two statistics, the impact elasticity of aggregate productivity growth with respect to an increase in aggregate innovative investment and the degree of intertemporal knowledge spillovers in research, that play a key role in shaping the model's predicted dynamic response of aggregate productivity, output, and welfare to a policy-induced change in the innovation intensity of the economy. Given estimates of these statistics, we find that there is only modest scope for increasing aggregate productivity and output over a 20-year horizon with uniform subsidies to firms' investments in innovation of a reasonable magnitude, but the welfare gains from such a subsidy may be substantial.

Creator: Chari, V. V., Golosov, Mikhail, and Tsyvinski, Aleh Series: Working paper (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Research Department) Number: 673 Abstract:
Innovative activities have public good characteristics in the sense that the cost of producing the innovation is high compared to the cost of producing subsequent units. Moreover, knowledge of how to produce subsequent units is widely known once the innovation has occurred and is, therefore, non-rivalrous. The main question of this paper is whether mechanisms can be found which exploit market information to provide appropriate incentives for innovation. The ability of the mechanism designer to exploit such information depends crucially on the ability of the innovator to manipulate market signals. We show that if the innovator cannot manipulate market signals, then the efficient levels of innovation can be implemented without deadweight losses–for example, by using appropriately designed prizes. If the innovator can use bribes, buybacks, or other ways of manipulating market signals, patents are necessary.

In 1950 Mexico entered an economic takeoff and grew rapidly for more than 30 years. Growth stopped during the crises of 1982–1995, despite major reforms, including liberalization of foreign trade and investment. Since then growth has been modest. We analyze the economic history of Mexico 1877–2010. We conclude that the growth 1950–1981 was driven by urbanization, industrialization, and education and that Mexico would have grown even more rapidly if trade and investment had been liberalized sooner. If Mexico is to resume rapid growth — so that it can approach U.S. levels of income — it needs further reforms.

Creator: Engbom, Niklas Series: Working paper (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Research Department) Number: 756 Abstract:
I develop an idea flows theory of firm and worker dynamics in order to assess the consequences of population aging. Older people are less likely to attempt entrepreneurship and switch employers because they have found better jobs. Consequently, aging reduces entry and worker mobility through a composition effect. In equilibrium, the lower entry rate implies fewer new, better job opportunities for workers, while the better matched labor market dissuades job creation and entry. Aging accounts for a large share of substantial declines in firm and worker dynamics since the 1980s, primarily due to equilibrium forces. Cross-state evidence supports these predictions.

Creator: Laitner, John Series: Productivity and the industrial revolution Abstract:
This paper presents a model in which a country's average propensity to save tends to rise endogenously over time. The paper uses a two-sector neoclassical framework to model the transition from agriculture to manufacturing which typically accompanies economic development. Key assumptions are that only the agricultural sector uses land and a simple version of Engel's law. When a country's income per capita is low, agricultural consumption is important; consequently, land is valuable and capital gains on it may account for most wealth accumulation, making the NIPA APS appear low. If exogenous technological progress raises incomes over time, Engel's law shifts demand to manufactured goods. Then land's importance in portfolios relative to reproducible capital diminishes and the measured average propensity to save can rise.

Creator: Benhabib, Jess, 1948- and Rustichini, Aldo Series: Economic growth and development Abstract:
In this paper we study the relationship between wealth, income distribution and growth in a game-theoretic context in which property rights are not completely enforcable. We consider equilibrium paths of accumulation which yield players utilities that are at least as high as those that they could obtain by appropriating higher consumption at the present and suffering retaliation later on. We focus on those subgame perfect equilibria which are constrained Pareto-efficient (second best). In this set of equilibria we study how the level of wealth affects growth. In particular we consider cases which produce classical traps (with standard concave technologies): growth may not be possible from low levels of wealth because of incentive constraints while policies (sometimes even first-best policies) that lead to growth are sustainable as equilibria from high levels of wealth. We also study cases which we classify as the "Mancur Olson" type: first best policies are used at low levels of wealth along these constrained Pareto efficient equilibria, but first best policies are not sustainable at higher levels of wealth where growth slows down. We also consider the unequal weighting of players to ace the subgame perfect equiliria on the constrained Pareto frontier. We explore the relation between sustainable growth rates and the level of inequality in the distribution of income.
