DEFINITION of 'Turkmenistan Manat- TMT'
The official currency of the country of Turkmenistan. The Turkmenistan manat is divided into 100 tennesi. The manat was introduced in 1993 to replace the prior unit of currency used in Turkmenistan, the Russian ruble. Later in 2009, the new manat was placed into circulation, with an exchange rate of 5,000 old manat to one new manat.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Turkmenistan Manat- TMT'
Manat was the word used in Turmen and Azeri for the Soviet ruble during the time of its use, and is similar to the Russian word for coin. At the time of the manat's release, coins (tennesi) were also introduced in denominations from one to 50. Later in 1999, 500- and 1,000-manat coins were circulated following a period of high inflation, with new coins (called tenge) put into circulation in 2009 during the nation's monetary reform.

I'm trying to figure my brewing efficiency... I did two 2 1/2 gallon batches. One was a dry Irish stout and the other a chocolate stout. the Irish stout was a BIAB 90 min mash mash out temp to 170. Here is the grain bill 3 lbs maris otter 1/2 lb flaked barley 1/2 lb chocolate malt (simpsons) .10 lb acidulated malt .10 lb roasted barley 3.5 gallons preboil, hyrdometer reading of 1.038 post boil hydrometer reading of 1.044 second beer was the chocolate stout BIAB with 60 minute mash, using ice cream motor for stirring no mash out of higher temps ...because, quite frankly, I forgot.. here is the grain bill 4 lbs maris otter 7.2 oz flaked barley 6 oz carafa III 6 oz chocolate malt (simpsons) 2 oz extra dark crystal 4 gallons preboil, hydrometer reading of 1.044 post boil hydrometer reading of 1.050 from what I've come up with using brewers friend brewhouse efficiency calculator, my efficiency with the Irish stout was 87.21% and the chocolate stout was 90.36% ...could that be correct????? I know from testing the BIAB from prior brewing sessions, I was running around 65%...WTH?
Your math looks very off. Take [Total gravity points]/[# of gallons]; then divide your recorded gravity by the answer to that first equation and you'll get your efficiency. Or you can order a brewing software and save you some math.
I checked the math with ProMash database gravity points, his recipe & preboil volumes and got the same efficiencies he has.
Ok, nevermind. I was calculating based on the final gravities (duh). Good job. Both of you.
thats just super then!! I guess the constant stirring of the mash really did wonders! Thanks for the input guys... oh and I'm a gal brewing! LOL but it's all good.

"A modern-day "Great Expectations" of sorts."
The narrator gives life to the main character. His voice is both innocent and worldly.
Great Expectations
Theo Decker the main character is a tragic hero, but the reader cannot help but identify with his foibles.
I would love to have Boris as a dinner companion because of his voracious and indomitable appetite for life.
I am still thinking about the book, and it has been a week since I finished it. It is one of those rare books one considers a companion. It left me thinking about deeper questions of life.
"A story of heartbreak, loss and redemption."
Yes, it kept me interested in the richly fleshed-out characters and the captivating story.
She's Come Undone
Secrets Steal Life
The narrators kept me coming back for more. I had to find out how these characters dealt with their demons.

Post Content
We've started a DAR tradition of pricing out how much the 12 Days of Christmas (well the first eight days anyway) would cost with some help from our friends at the Department of Fish and Game. Below are this year's estimates of French hens, turtle doves and pear trees.
Eight maids a' milking? At $18 an hour, eight maids (or lads) a' milking would cost around $144. It takes less than half an hour to milk a cow.
Seven swans a' swimming could cost you in fines up to $375 – for $20 to $50 per bird plus an additional $25 – for illegal possession of mute swans. Illegal possession of the birds also carries the possible penalty of 30 days in jail. If you hold a grandfathered permit for mute swans, it will cost you $25 for the permit, but no new permits for swan ownership are issued.
Six geese a' laying? Goslings cost about $8 a piece, but, if you sought the instant gratification of laying geese, you'd need a mating pair at $40 to $100 each or $240 to $600 for the lot. (If you want to hunt Canada geese, a hunting license is $27.50, but you also must purchase a federal duck stamp for $15 and a state waterfowl stamp for $5.)
As to five golden rings, this does not actually refer to jewelry but rather golden-ringed pheasants at a cost of $60 for five. Or, you could hunt the birds at a cost of $325 plus $10 for a hunting license at a commercial hunting preserve.
The calling birds are really Colly birds a.k.a. blackbirds. Gift wrapping these would cost between $50 and $300 in fines – at $10 to $50 per bird plus an additional fine up to $100, possible jail time of 30 days and a revoked hunting license for three years. It is illegal to hunt blackbirds in Massachusetts.
Door-to-door delivery of three hens from France could cost as much as $2,800 in airfare and paperwork. The cost rises to $4,000 for the additional cost of quarantining the birds for 30 days (a state requirement for livestock imported to Massachusetts) and incidental veterinary fees.
Two turtle doves cost $25 a-piece from a pet store licensed by the Department of Agricultural Resources (DAR).
A partridge (a.k.a. a ruffed grouse) and a pear tree? A 9 foot, fruit-bearing pear tree costs about $100. Because ruffed grouse are not captive bred, the only way to obtain this bird in Massachusetts is to hunt it. A hunting license is $27.50. You also need to figure in costs for a hunting dog, your shotgun and $100 gun license!
The photos of the swans, grouse and the Canada geese are by MassWildlife's Bill Byrne.
Happy Holidays!

Nice and short, as the others said, here's an old one that I wrote for fun, not that I don't have inspiration on the frey, but well...just got up so not much logic in my head right now XD
Happiness in one single move,
So unpredictable and yet so loved.
Beneath that face can hide great plots,
Plots of conquest and plots of destruction.
Many are subdued by its angelic appearance,
They finish as slaves of despair to smiling gods.
The only way to escape this expression,
Is to frown back and take out your tongue.
Full of oozing saliva dripping down off the ground,
Will surely dispel the curse upon you.
For now you know the forbidden secret,
A smile is your doom but saliva is your saviour.

Walking with faith and trust
January 22, 2015
by Pastor Mike RamsdellI often hear people wistfully talk about how it used to be, how much better it was back then and how we ought to get back to what was. I certainly hear people complain a lot. Even when things are going well, there always seems to be at least one thing that isn't. And, of course, people worry about the future, trying to figure out a way to secure tomorrow or find the agency or system that can do that for them. It's human nature.
Human nature often leads people to do this:
- Celebrate the past (even idolizing how much better it was than the present, even if that's not true);
- Complain about the present (it seems things are very seldom exactly as we wish it was, so complaining ensues);
- Fear of the future (we want security, and because tomorrow is uncertain, anxiety happens).
When God called the people of Israel out of bondage in Egypt to the Promised Land, they at first were very excited. But as the journey continued, things changed. They begin to idolize how wonderful they remembered life in Egypt, remembering garlic and leeks but forgetting the slavery. They complained constantly about the trying days in the wilderness wandering, even though God gave them miracle after miracle. And, the future frightened them; this idea of an uncertain Promised Land that required faith and trust was not nearly as appealing as the garlic they had while slaves in Egypt.
What is the answer?
The past is covered by God's grace. We get no points for our successes, and we lose no points for our failures.
The present is covered by thanksgiving. Giving thanks for God's daily miracles is the fast track to peace and joy.
The future is covered by faith. God does not want us to walk with the certainty about a known future; God wants us to walk with him in faith and trust. This is what God is about and God's purpose in our lives. It's about having confidence that the God who has given us Jesus is trustworthy and choosing to trust him. "If God is for us, who could be against us?" (Romans 8:31)
I also want to remind everyone about the Block Party this Friday, 6:30-8:00 p.m., at the church. This is for our church family and our friends, neighbors in the area around the church and Ponder Elementary School, the school we connect with through the Big Hope mentoring program. We are celebrating their return to a brand new school a few blocks from our church (bounce houses, petting zoo, photo booth, hot dogs and chips, reading resources, music, crafts and activities). Bring the family, bring the kids, In the City for the City lived out in a bounce house with hot dogs. What could be better than that?
Finally, if you have yet to watch the Sunday, January 11, combined service, it is still available online. Just click on the link, and celebrate the first in the What's Next? series. Then join us this weekend in one of our seven services to hear the third message in the same series from Pastor David. That Sunday, January 11, the Sanctuary was packed, and since then, we have had over 1,000 view the service online, including almost 400 live that day.
God is big enough,
Pastor Mike Ramsdell
Thoughts on this weekend
January 15, 2015
by Pastor Mike RamsdellYesterday was a really good day. It began with a smoothie and heading out the door early with a cup of coffee in hand to lead some interview teams for the East District Committee on Ministry. It was great to see so many quality, young people who are entering ministry. That was not true a few years ago. It is a great sign of health for the church.
After the interviews were over, I dropped by three hospitals to check on some people. I have long enjoyed visiting and praying for people in seasons like this. I surely have appreciated when people have prayed for me in similar seasons.
I spent some time preparing for a Saturday funeral for a dear friend who served with me in our church in innumerable ways the last 20 years. It will be a sad time, but heaven is real and God is with us. I love hearing how his life was changed 20 years ago when he decided as he drove by our church that it was time for him and his wife to get back to church. He did, with bells on. That was a sad but good moment.
Supper was very good. Rhonda, my wife, had made some of my favorite foods for my noon men's Bible study (thank you, Johnny, for teaching for me while I was out at the District Committee on Ministry). She saved some for me, lasagna and pineapple cake. It was a great meal. I can eat more calories than normal because of the marathon I will be running in a couple of weeks.
I made my way to choir practice for a few minutes, just wanted to say thanks to our choir and orchestra for the great way they supported last Sunday's 11:00 a.m. combined service. It was an amazing, grace-filled Sunday. I also want to thank all of our music and worship people from all of our services, the many who attended worship in person and the many hundreds who worshiped online. (People are still checking out the service. If you have not, you can watch the service on the church website. I believe you will be glad you did.)
This coming weekend we have all our normal services, but they will be anything but normal. Our Senior Pastor David Alexander will be sharing his vision of What's Next? for First Methodist Mansfield this weekend and next. I will be in all the services leading in worship and sharing the Pastoral Prayer. It is an important season.
I am also very excited about the message series that will follow this, Invite, which I will be preaching in all the Sanctuary services. I have been looking forward to this invitational, three-week series for a long time. I am eager to enter this new season as pastor which I pray will continue for many more years here at First Methodist Mansfield.
It was a good day, and I am convinced there are many more good days and years ahead.
God is big enough for what's next.
Pastor Mike Ramsdell
Thoughts on Sunday, January 11
January 8, 2015
by Pastor Mike RamsdellIn lieu of my regular thought for the week, I wanted to write a very important reminder. If you already have this on your calendar, I apologize for telling you again, but if you don't, please mark Sunday, January 11, at 11:00 a.m., in the Sanctuary of First Methodist Mansfield.
For the first time in decades, First Methodist Mansfield is going to have just one, combined worship service this weekend. So, if you normally attend one of the many other services, thanks for your patience and commitment to join us for this one church, one weekend, one service.
Sunday is the first in a three-week series emphasis entitled What's Next? and will set the stage for what is coming for First Methodist Mansfield. I really hope that everyone in our church family will make a triple effort to be a part of this historic moment by being present.
We will have G-Force children's worship as always. We will have nursery as always.
Please note that we expect the Sanctuary to be packed (we want that, we never get to see each other all at one time). We have a plan for overflow spaces on our campus as well as parking. I believe this will be a very exciting, inspirational and historical gathering for worship.
It is going to be especially cool to see all our music people together at one time. We have multiple worship teams along with our choir and orchestra who will be leading us in worship.
I will be bringing this first message.
Please join me in praying for this critical weekend and the What's Next? beginning. Also, please be present if at all possible. This is a one-of-a-kind moment that will set a direction for our church, one already great, but we expect to expand even further in our life and mission in the years ahead and with the opportunities that surround us.
God is big enough for First Methodist,

Thoughts on getting Christmas right
December 18, 2014
by Pastor Mike RamsdellThere are many Christmas traditions in the world. Some are very familiar such as the Christmas tree and decorations, as well as a gift-giving, jolly Santa. Others are not so familiar such as Krampus, an evil Santa Claus in Austria who is supposed to beat and punish so-called bad children, and in Japan, Kentucky Fried Chicken is enormously popular as a Christmas dinner with people lining up early to pick up the greasy delicacy.
One Christmas tradition that I love and see growing every year in almost every church is the Christmas Eve Candlelight Service. I see families, couples and singles who plan into their Christmas season presents, trees, food, maybe a Christmas parade and a Christmas Eve Candlelight Service (a time to get it right as we come together around the simple theme of the season — Christ is born.) We sing, act out and read the Christmas story and share the candles symbolizing Jesus as the light of the world. I see this moment becoming a growing, connecting time for families, churches and communities around the country.
It is a great way to focus on Christ, the light of the world, in the midst of so many other fun and sometimes odd traditions. I love seeing it become a lifelong tradition for children. It is part of Christmas they will never forget and bring their children back to when that time comes.
I hope you can join us for one of our services this year. We have two on December 23, 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. Then December 24, we have services at 2:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00, 10:00 and 11:30 p.m. If you want to know more check out christmasinmansfield.fmcm.org. I hope to see you at one.
I would add one more thing as well. There are just a few more days before 2014 ends. The end-of-the-year gifts from the First Methodist family to the life and mission of First Methodist Church are always welcome and needed. Few churches anywhere make the impact this church family does, locally and beyond. In the season marked by giving, please remember gifts to and through First Methodist really do make a difference. In fact, dollar for dollar, I don't believe you can make a bigger difference anywhere than in the comprehensive, faith-based way we do.

Thoughts on Christmas
December 11, 2014
by Pastor Mike RamsdellI am not a person who deals much with anxiety, but I have to admit I can get a little anxious going to the mall to do any Christmas shopping. I don't know why, but I do. And as a pastor, the Christmas season is always pretty overwhelming — not only do I have to do everything I normally have to do, but we add church and home Christmas to it.
Sometimes Christmas seems like a moving train with its whistle blaring and the wheels rumbling down the track, an unstoppable force. The season is not really by choice; after all, it is on the calendar. The stores begin their sales. The music of Christmas is on the radio, TV, at offices and in stores everywhere, along with the decorative lights of the season. There are also the expectations — the ones others have of us, the ones we have of them and the ones we have of ourselves. Parties, food, presents, events, gatherings, all seem to drive us to December 25.
And then . . .
One pastor said it well, "Nothing is so over as Christmas when it's over."
So, it can be a real let down, often failing to live up to unreal expectations and leaving a hangover of disappointment when those expectations don't connect with the happiness and joy the songs seem to promise.
What do I do?
- Remember it's about the people in your life, not the stuff.
- Remember it's about Jesus in your heart, not the stuff.
- Remember it's about giving yourself away, not the stuff.
- Remember it's about worship, not the stuff.
The angels had it figured out. "Born for you in the city of David is Christ the Lord."
The wise men had it figured out. "Let's go find the Christ." The shepherds had it figured out. "Let's go see the Christ."
December 26 is not to be an end to a holiday or season. It was intended to be a beginning.
Happiness and joy is in Christ. It's in the people we love. It's in a generous life. And, it's in bowing before the God we worship. It's finding the kingdom of God, something so easily missed but so readily available.
I hope to see you this weekend in one of our worship services, Saturday night at 6:00 p.m, Sunday morning at 8:15, 9:30 or 11:00 a.m. or at 5:00 p.m. And remember, at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday we will celebrate with our Christmas program, Noel Christmas Cantata, in the Sanctuary. Come, bring the family, bring your friends and celebrate the beautiful story that is Christmas.
Mike Ramsdell
Senior Pastor

This video clip is a part of a large presentation by Spike Paris, an engineer who was formally part of the United State�s Military Space Program. Upon entering into the job Mr. Paris was an atheist, but after intently studying the planets found within the solar system, he began to believe in the existence of a Supreme Being.

My fiancee is a huge fan of BiggestLoser, so of course, I've been drawn in and tend to watch most of the episodes with her ever since the 2007 season: One of the trainers from the show, Bob Harper , released a 4-DVD home-training course, so we decided to check it out. Each DVD of the "Inside Out Method" set focuses on a separate, but complimentary, topic and focus of training. The self-explanatory titles are as follows: "Bob's Workout" The first two were my favorites, while the latter two were my fiancee's favorites, so it worked out perfectly, and it shows there really is something for everyone in this set. Bob's passion and knowledge shine every minute he's on the screen, because he's got that perfect mix of strict and supportive. He won't let you quit, but he won't let you down. I'm looking forward to working many of these new exercises into my routine, and while I'm not trying to be the BiggestLoser, there's several tips in here that will align perfectly with my goals.

Visage: A Visualization Tool that Democratizes Good Design

With an elegant drag-and-drop interface, easy customization of color schemes, and the ability to quickly revise data and layouts, Visage handy improves on common tools in the visualization market.

their minds that if they did not see them while Verres was praetor, they should
never see them at all.

The Hunger Games Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson Pictures
Josh and Liam Tackle Another Hunger Games Premiere Amid Huge Opening Weekend Projections
Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth were without their leading lady Jennifer Lawrence, but they were joined by costar Alexander Ludwig, who plays Cato, for their Hunger Games premiere in Toronto last night. The guys are making the rounds in Canada, stopping by The Marilyn Denis Show in the morning and then MuchMusic in the afternoon before their big red carpet. Early reviews for the highly-anticipated movie are largely positive and the buzz is only building ahead of Friday's release date. Current projections are saying that The Hunger Games could rake in $130-140 in its opening weekend, which would make it the biggest March movie opening of all time. It would be a huge triumph for the studio and the young cast, who have been tirelessly promoting The Hunger Games around the world in recent weeks. The marketing strategy has still kept much of the movie — including any glimpse of the games themselves — a secret, and to gear up, BuzzSugar revealed the Hunger Games scenes we're most excited to see.

July 28, 2014 - Less grip than first bottle. Personally enjoyed this a little younger, but still a neat wine.
Furry Goat wrote: (90 points)
November 26, 2013 - Purple black, opaque. Nose is delicious. Smoke, dark fruit, some sweet baking spice. Similar to what I like in Cali Syrah nose. Wine weighs heavy in the mouth. Prunes, fig, some herbal notes, pumpkin pie, grass clippings? Great acid zing, heavy tannic tongue.
Great structure, everything is in balance, just big. This is my first foray into pv as a single varietal. Big and expressive.1 person found this helpful Comment -

January 22, 2013 - Petite Verdot is one of my favorite varietals and Ty Caton does it extremely well. A bit high in alcohol - 15.3%. But this has great fruit and nice acid/tannins that integrate very well. Tasting great right now.
blakel wrote: (89 points)
October 14, 2012 - Pop and Pour. Inky, opaque, dark violet. A whiff of something mildy unpleasant - is it brett? - and not much else on the nose. A distinct note of pencil lead, some dark fruit, and substantial tannins on the palate. Medium finish. Will let this get some air and try it again tomorrow, but I suspect it's probably going to be better a couple of years from now. **update** An hour later, this wine has opened up considerably, and the unpleasant nose has completely blown off. Updating score from 85 to 89.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Sandy Staged to push Global Warming Fraud - Obama's unprecedented response is the clue.
Poster Handle
Post Content
You will not get an election result this year. A winner can never be declared. Obama will however remain in power. Romney's win will be a public conjecture that no one will be able to do nothing about as they struggle with day to day survival in deteriorating and worsening weather conditions which will impact supply chains. After a while, they will give up on the idea of who is president altogether. Why? Well, on the backs of worsening weather conditions, they plan on staging a False Flag to exasperate the situation. The country will simply be under Martial Law, War will be declared and Obama's permanent reign as president will then be endorsed or accepted worldwide as he appears as the one trying to fix the world's problems and he will spend 1, 2, 3 ......7, 8 years until he is able to bring back stability back into the world. There will be health issues in the middle of chaos and crisis. look around what the Sandy storm has done in a week. This will be their modus operandi. You will have to fall into the Obama care conditions in order to live. They will use this and other means to create equilibrium around the world.

Huntsman empire
Texas-size profits, problems at chemical plants
PORT NECHES, Texas Jefferson County is the heart and soul of Texas oil a land of alligators, Cajun cooking and union loyalists who wear the monicker "redneck" with pride.
It is a place where 100,000 barrels of crude once bubbled to the surface every day, giving birth to oil giants Texaco, Gulf and Mobil, among others. In turn, they spawned myriad asphalt plants, chemical factories and oil refineries that turned the black gold into products for an increasingly industrialized world.
"We're not afraid of refineries here," said County Commissioner Waymon D. Hallmark. "We love refineries. They've been part of our lives since 1901."
In this part of the world, most people don't give a second thought to the petrochemical plants that line the Gulf Coast in an uninterrupted, 200-mile-long crescent called the Golden Triangle critics call it the Cancer Belt from Beaumont in southeast Texas to Lake Charles, La.
"Huntsman" is now emblazoned on huge storage tanks at a fair share of those plants, a reference to the Salt Lake City-based chemical giant that now has 40 manufacturing plants around the world.
In Jefferson County alone, Huntsman LLC owns four facilities it bought from Texaco Chemical in 1994, making it one of the county's biggest employers and a primary source of local tax revenue. More than one-third of the Port Neches tax base comes from Huntsman.
But Huntsman inherited a company notorious for its environmental violations and disastrous relationships with unions. And then there was a legal legacy of being sued thousands of times for health and safety problems.
"They (Texaco) were the worst possible corporate member of any community, and particularly this one," said Wayne Reaud, a Beaumont trial attorney and Democratic Party kingpin who has pocketed a small fortune dragging Texaco Chemical into court over the years at least a thousand times, he says.
"It was a filthy, dirty hellhole of a place," he said, his Texas accent dripping with disdain for what he calls a "bunch of carpetbaggers" from New York.
When Huntsman came to town, Reaud was watching him with a fair share of distrust.
"I thought he (Jon Huntsman Sr.) was going to be a new Mr. Texaco," he said. "I just wasn't interested in sucking up to the new hat. I am a hard sell and talk is cheap."
But he saw from Huntsman an unprecedented financial commitment to cleaning up the plants, both environmentally and in terms of worker safety. And he saw the company give millions back to the community, winning hearts from the factory floor to City Hall. He'd never seen anything like it.
"We have a long history in Beaumont of dealing with wealthy outsiders," he said. "In my lifetime, Huntsman was the only one who ever reached out to the community. The others took the oil and took the money and left."
Once Texaco's worst nightmare, Reaud has become a convert to Huntsman nation. He refers to Jon Huntsman Sr. as an "enlightened industrialist" and a "philosopher king."
"I'll sue Jon Huntsman tomorrow if the plant blows up," he says. "But I know he'd be down here the day after that wanting to do what was right by the families."
A nasty business
The Huntsmans are, by most accounts, nice guys in a nasty business.
Which raises the questions: Have the Huntsmans made the petrochemical industry a kinder, cleaner industry through their company Huntsman LLC? Or have the inherent problems with one of the nation's dirtiest industries soiled the Huntsmans?
The answer, it seems, is a little of both.

2014 Prisoners of Christ Ministry Crime Prevention Prayer BreakfastPrisoners of Christ MinistryTuesday, May 20, 2014 from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM (EDT) |
Event Details
Prisoners of Christ Ministry has been making a positive difference in Jacksonville since 1990. Our proven program of faith-based re-entry and transition services helps men coming out of prison turn their lives around and become productive citizens, while reducing the rate of recidivism that takes such a huge toll on our economy...and on our crime rate.
Help us celebrate the successes God has brought to the more than 2,300 men whose lives have been changed forever, and to ask God to shape the hearts of the many others to come. Hear the moving testimony of men who have gone back to a productive life free of crime, and discovered a feeling of self-respect as they become contributing members of society.
We're excited to share with you the new direction of our Ministry and the exciting programs we have to offer. As always, the breakfast is free and guests are welcome. We also have sponsorships available starting at $500 for a table of 10. Call us at 904.358.8886 to sign up today.
Sponsorships are available; click here for more information.
The breakfast is free and guests are welcome! Please RSVP to let us know you are coming.
