Merry Christmas to each of you! 2014 is drawing to a close and I am so thankful for you being my Pastor's Prayer Partner this past year.
This will be my last Prayer letter of the year since so many will be out of town and focusing on Christmas next Wednesday. We will have our greatest impact of the entire year over the next 2 weeks. Between our nightly Light Display, our Christmas Eve services and weekend services we will probably welcome somewhere around 25,0000 or more guests to our property and services.
As we pray for everyone who enters our property and services this week I encourage you to read Luke 2, the Christmas story, as we focus on this Holy Week of Christmas.
God bless you and if ever we pray daily over the Prayer Digest, this is the week to do it. The people on this list need our prayers during this season. When most are celebrating, many are hurting or have lost loved ones.
God bless you and Merry Christmas.
See you this weekend!

Item title reads - THE CRISIS. FOUR POWER CONFERENCE - RUSH COPY. Chamberlain leaves for Munich.
Heston, Middlesex.
M/S as British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain walks through crowds of people on the airfield. They cheer and shake his hand as he walks through smiling and waving. He stops to make a speech, M/S as he says when he was a little boy his motto was "if at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again."
He says that is what he is doing now by going to Munich to meet with Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Edouard Daladier for the Four Powers conference. He says he wants to be able to quote William Shakespeare when he gets back and say "out of this nettle danger we plucked this flower safety". Everyone cheers and he gets onto the aeroplane. Various shots as it taxis and takes off as everyone cheers and waves enthusiastically.
The plane Chamberlain is boarding is a Lockheed Model 14 Super Electra.

You and your spouse have serious ideological differences: Should you argue in front of the kids or swear off politics?
Parent advice (from our panel of staff contributors)
Toddlers and young kids won't understand the concept of political debate. To them, it's mom and dad fighting. But if you frame it as what it is — a political discussion — older kids should not only listen, but maybe be drawn in. Don't make them take sides, but ask them their thoughts. Anything that stimulates critical thinking is to be embraced.

This book is titled "Jerb Northstar's Journal". It appears to be a chronicle of how a druid investigated some new visitors that came to live within his forest.
Entry Thirty-Eight - I have spoken with Left Paw and he told me that there are visitor within the Pines. Though he was too interested in the salmon, in between mouthfuls he told me that I would find them down by the shore. I may wish to see who these guests are, and what intentions they have.
Entry Fourty-Three - I have seen our visitors from afar. I cannot tell for certain what they have planned, but it looks as if our guests may be staying for a while to come. I believe I shall introduce myself to these women so that they know the Glade and the Pines are already being looked after.
Entry Forty-Six - I am very uncertain about why these women have come to our trees. Though they claim they are refugees, I could tell there was something unspoken between them whenever they would talk. The most mysterious was what appeared to be their leader. I will record my findings and bring this to the Circle. Perhaps their wisdom may better know what to do.
Arialla Clearsong appears to be the leader of this group of women. She is the one who introduced each of her fellows and explained why they were here in the Jaggedpine. She said they would take refuge on the small island for the time being and leave it as it was when they were done. She refused to say what it was that they were "doing", however.
Andria introduced herself as a templar. I was unfamiliar with the term, but she assured me it was just a word her people used to describe those who held faith within their hearts. I was unable to get her to tell me what god she worshipped, which draws my suspicion.
Abella claimed to be a sorcerer. She explained that she drew energies from the surrounding air and crafted them into other forms. I am unfamiliar with the workings of magic that comes not from nature, so much of what she said meant nothing to me.
Alexis described herself as a sooth. When I asked her what that meant, she told me that I would surely find out one day. I took her for being one of the rudest of the group.
Anessa called herself a thaumaturge. She started to explain what it was that a thaumaturge did, but was interrupted by Arialla who had questions for me. When I answered and asked Anessa to continue, she told me I would not find it interesting. I am no fool, however. I know Arialla gave Anessa a signal to hold her silence.
Abigail said that she was a mystic. She told me how she could see those who were trapped between the worlds of life and death. Telling her that I did not believe in such nonsense, I felt the wind kick up around my hair. I am sure it was nothing more than mere coincidence.
Anathema was the last one I spoke with, and she in turn aroused my suspicion the most. She told me she was a protector, but when I asked of what, she just looked to Arialla. I stood between the two, blocking visual contact, and that was when I could see the tears begin to well up in her eyes. I am certain there is more going on than meets the eye to these women.

Disneynature announced today that its "See 'OCEANS,' Save Oceans" campaign will protect more than 35,000 acres of coral reef in The Bahamas on behalf of the moviegoers who came out to see Disneynature's motion picture "Oceans" during its opening week. Through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, Disneynature will help establish new marine protected areas through the The Nature Conservancy's Adopt a Coral Reef program. At 55 square miles, this protected area of coral reefs will be almost two-and-a-half times the size of Manhattan or the equivalent of more than 412 Disneylands, supporting the expansion of the Westside National Park of Andros.
The Bahamas represent an important ecosystem, straddling the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The 700 islands that comprise The Bahamas contain miles of vital coral reefs, which are the foundation of a healthy ocean environment, providing shelter, nurseries and feeding grounds for hundreds of marine species, including dolphins, sea turtles and a wide range of fish. Scientists estimate that the coral reefs of the Caribbean could be gone in 50 years without a network of well-managed marine protected areas.
"We're excited to once again collaborate with The Nature Conservancy on an initiative that takes the impact of Disneynature's storytelling to an entirely new level," said Alan Bergman, president of The Walt Disney Studios. "The health of our oceans is absolutely vital to the well-being of our planet and thanks to the supporters of Disneynature's motion picture 'Oceans,' this investment in marine conservation will help ensure critical aquatic environments will thrive for future generations."
"Disneynature has captured the beauty, wonder and fragility of our world's marine habitats and species in 'Oceans,' said Mark Tercek, president and CEO of The Nature Conservancy. "We appreciate Disney's commitment to help protect marine areas in The Bahamas, which is home to 30 percent of all coral reefs in the Atlantic Ocean. With Disneynature's support, The Nature Conservancy and its partners are making significant progress toward our ambitious goal of doubling the total amount of marine protected area in The Bahamas."

The Season:
"No reason to get excited
The thief, he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke"
"But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late"
The lyrics to "All Along the Watchtower" will likely trigger one of two thoughts for most readers, either that of Bob Dylan's original composition or the riff-heavy cover from The Jimi Hendrix Experience. It's a song about the futility of war and, even more so, about the immediacy of mortality, two elements that have become paramount in Ronald Moore and David Eick's reimagining of
Battlestar Galactica
. As the science-fiction series traverses through this third season, its content becomes even more enduring, even more brooding than before; false talk between both allies and foes, the hour of humanity's extermination getting late, and the almost nightmare-like fabric of a Cylon invasion. Once
Battlestar Galactica
's third installment really kicks into gear, it places clear emphasis on all these elements, while also delving deeper into the existential musings and moral ambiguity entrenched in this series focused on humanity's run for its life. And, as it begins to shed light on the Cylons as fallible entities instead of unshakable villains, it once again aggressively remodels itself into something undeniably entrancing.
When we left season two
which should be viewed before continuing this review
, as the context here relies on the fact that you've seen the second season),
Battlestar Galactica
offered one of the grandest "what the hell?" moments in television history. It wasn't enough that Gaius Baltar (James Callis,
Bridget Jones' Diary
), a manipulative supra-genius with a Cylon angel (Tricia Helfer) shaping his every move within the confines of his mind, was set to defeat President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell,
Dances with Wolves
) in a firmly-forced election for the presidency -- even after a failed attempt for Roslin to tailor the votes to her favor. As with everything else in the show, the blurred morality of the situation made Roslin's motives for buying the presidency justified, as Baltar's leadership would steer the Colonial Fleet towards settlement on a barely-habitable, meagerly-hidden planet entitled "New Caprica". But no, it didn't stop there; the last moments of season two catapulted us a year in advance, showing the sickly, desolate aftereffects of Baltar's rule over "New Caprica" -- and a surprise arrival of the Cylons to claim military control.
Though not nearly to the same caliber of shock value as that twist ending in the previous season, Season Three begins by thrusting us forward another four months to show what the Cylon occupation has done to the citizens on "New Caprica". The results are, of course, not good; people disappear left and right, Saul Tigh (Micheal Hogan) sits in a Cylon detention cell with one eye missing, Kara "Starbuck" Thrace (Katee Sackhoff) has been in "domestic prison" under the watchful eye of Leoben (Callum Keith Rennie), and a resistance movement -- comprised of Laura Roslin (who's now a children's teacher), Chief Galen Tyrol (Aaron Douglas), Kara's husband Samuel Anders (Michael Trucco), and an "unknown source" embedded within the Baltar administration -- orchestrates guerrilla tactics and, at times, suicide bombings to fight back against the Cylons. And where, you might ask, are the crews of Bill Adama's (Edward James Olmos,
Blade Runner
) Galactica and Lee Adama's (Jamie Bamber) Pegasus? They're many jumps away from the planet, in hiding since they couldn't combat the massive Cylon onslaught upon their arrival at "New Caprica".
Saying that the
Battlestar Galactica
universe has fallen into a state of upheaval would be an understatement, leaving Moore, Eick, and their team of writers/producers with both an opportunity to dig humanity out of another dire situation and, in essence, a way to revamp the series into almost a start-over point. That's what the first five or so episodes of this third season are all about: how Adama and crew can scoop up the remains of humanity and return things to the status quo. Following the aftermath of the breathtaking one-two punch of "Exodus: One" and "Two", where the Galactica orchestrates an elaborate rescue mission, it's clear that things won't simply spring back into place this time. And they rightfully shouldn't, as the souls who underwent the more dismal of conditions on "New Caprica" hold more permanent scarring, which makes for a compelling rearrangement of dynamics between some of the show's more prominent characters.
Out of the four seasons
Battlestar Galactica
aired on the Syfy network, the knee-jerk reaction when labeling the best of the lot will likely fall on the second season. But, in terms of thought-provocation, this season goes quite a few steps beyond, which is likely the reason why it's a personal favorite -- for its sheer abstract nature. Within all that grief and internal turmoil on "New Caprica", Ron Moore and David Eick also find a way for the Cylon occupation to eerily mirror contemporary wartime issues, from public executions and torture to occupational futility -- and how they haunt those who partake in their activity. Some of the images scattered throughout the early episodes might remind someone of present-day Middle Eastern combat, with a backdrop of mountainous desert-like locales and night-vision shots of raids in tents. More daunting concepts find their way into the mix once the story rockets away from "New Caprica", including the treatment of a soldier, Lt. Helo Agathon's (Tahmoh Penikett,
) Cylon wife, who looks exactly like a traitor, as well as the repercussions of genocide on the human conscience and the "grandfathering" of jobs by class as an archaic practice.
Eventually, the workings aboard the Galactica do return to a sense of normalcy, even if the demons of the characters' pasts still linger. After some of these demons are purged in the episode "Collaborators", a pointed entry that deals with a make-shift solution to the problem of traitors in a post-"New Caprica" environment, focus falls on the Cylons. It's here that
Battlestar Galactica
as a series takes a pensive and existentially demanding turn, as the once-powerful villains of the series begin to show chinks in their armor through their remorse over what they've done to the human population. Within that, the "machines" become unstable, some like the D'Anna (Lucy Lawless) model pondering whether their perception of "one, true God" is accurate. This undercurrent of doubt quickly festers into something of a Cylon Civil War between many of the models, which orchestrates a drastic shift in our perception of them. This also becomes the point when we learn that only seven of the Cylon models have been seen, and that five others , the Final Five, exist elsewhere -- likely on Galactica.
Then, there's the state of Gaius Baltar, the fallen, manipulated president of "New Caprica". I've had issues with Gaius, as a whole, mostly because I feel like his sycophantic personality shouldn't be as readily manipulative as it's made out to be -- an issue that made his surge in popularity disproportionate at the end of the previous season's presidential election. Moreover, the lack of repercussions for his actions has always irked me, point blank. Therefore, it comes as a bit of a sadistic pleasure to see him endure a healthy dose of karmic backlash in this third season, while also dragging him back down to a normal eye-level with the rest of the human characters. Though he undergoes quite a bit of mental turmoil before this point amid conversations with his captors, bathed in maddening red lighting within a Cylon holding cell, it's only once he's tortured for information that a satisfying sense of retribution can be felt -- and a bridge gapped where I start to empathize with Baltar again. That utterly gripping torture scene also offers a clever usage of our perception of pain, as well, as his "imaginary" Cylon angel attempts to distract him from his physical ailments enough so that his verbalized thoughts might sway the torturers.
Moore, Eick and Co. slowly begin to control the momentum at this point near the middle of this third season, which can be both a blessing and a curse for the episodes. Several entries are exceptionally well-handled and provide great character exposition, especially the "New Caprica"-focused "Unfinished Business"; in it, amid a phenomenally-photographed boxing event set up in the deck hangar for the fleet to blow off some steam, we witness the culmination of Lee and Kara's mounting romantic connection by way of flashbacks -- and how it ended in a chaotic rift between the two. It's a tightly-executed hybrid of character catch-up and melodrama between the star-crossed pilots, while their significant others, Anders and Officer Dualla (Kandyse McClure), offer biting dialogue and well-telegraphed glances of scorn in the backdrop. "Hero" draws in a faint, dark memory of Adama's past that could potentially have some bearing on the start of the Cylon war, while "A Measure of Salvation" cooks up a probable strategic endgame for the entire Cylon race amid a soul-searching episode.
Other installments, however, aren't quite as sharply handled as we'd expect from the
creators, not for plot contrivances but more for the slight, secondary nature of their content and their watered-down potency. One episode, "The Woman King", holds a moral dilemma in its hands revolving around medical treatment as Helo receives healthy face-time, but the meandering nature of the episode's exploration of the Sagittaron-colony population as it stirs in the underbelly of the Galactica isn't terribly gripping. Conversely, an episode that focuses on Bill Adama's failed marriage, "A Day in the Life", plays up the Adama family melodrama in a not-so-lustrous light. The problems with these episodes, along with a handful of others at the center, aren't the same sort of issues from the second season, which mostly hinge on a few crinkles in character development that needed ironing out. These are simply lower-denominator installments, and they play out as such -- merely decent blurbs in an above-par show.
The elements that
at all
, throughout this third season of
Battlestar Galactica
are both the stellar performances and the production design, which continue the same level of polish as carried over from the previous seasons. A stringent focus keeps the mix of operatic space battles and CIC (command center)-laden banter accessible, leaving out the streams of techno-babble that populate the likes of
Star Wars
Star Trek
and instead keeping conversations intimate, coherent, and most importantly realistic. Adama and Roslin begin to show buds of a romantic flare as their interactions grow more relaxed and frequent, and both Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell handle that somewhat obvious connection with sincere dramatic aplomb. Katee Sackhoff receives quite a bit of thematic material to chew on, from her time imprisoned with Leoben to her "rebirth" on the Galactica and her struggles with Anders. But what's likely the biggest surprise this time around, from an acting standpoint, is the versatility of both Tricia Helfer and Grace Park as the Sixes and Eights, who deftly render at least four or five variants of their Cylon "models" to villainous and valiant levels, and several points in between.
All of these tightly-constructed elements make this somewhat slinkier stride towards the season's close easier to appreciate, but, in the tradition of its first two seasons, the storyline picks up extreme energy within the last four or five episodes. I'd hate to divulge any details that would ruin the rampant pace that Ron Moore and David Eick strike with this cluster of five episodes near the end, but here's a very scoop-off-the-top overview: a trial is held to determine Gaius Baltar's crimes against humanity, a pivotal character dies, and the identities of four of the Final Five Cylon models are revealed to us. It's a whirlwind, to be sure, one that hits adrenaline-spiked high after high following "Maelstrom", a Kara-centered episode that posits her destiny into the storyline. As it twists and turns around plot kink after plot kink, you'll almost wish that the tightly-crafted thrust powering the narrative would slow down just so everything can be absorbed at a more evenly-spread rate. And, while it barrels towards an odd theological twist worth its weight in mind-racking, with the lyrics to "All Along the Watchtower" flowing along with the revelations, Moore proves that there's more to
's chess game than just the politics and military stratagems.

From hereon out, if you've read
my previous write-up on the
Battlestar Galactica
: Season Two Blu-ray
, the content revolving around this Season Three set will sound familiar. Again, the most that this Season Three set will crowbar out of me is a
Highly Recommended
marker, mostly because
the already-released Complete Series set (click here for our review)
should be the path to take in regards to obtaining the show's stellar run. Just like the second season, we've got all twenty (20) episodes of the third season tossed onto five (5) discs in foldout packaging. Pound for pound, in terms of audiovisual specs and the supplements,
we're working with the exact same discs as the complete series set
Video and Audio:
As Ronald Moore emphasizes in his introduction at the front of each season of
Battlestar Galactica
, these Blu-ray visualizations arrive via the original HD tapes in 1.78:1 framing. Episodes oftentimes exhibit a healthy amount of grain, but that's simply the gritty style intended for this series. A handful of sequences exhibit some rather stunning moments of gawk-worthy high-definition content, which juxtapose against the grain oftentimes in consecutive shots. It's just the way the show's meant to look, and the Blu-ray sets translate this visualization -- the way the show's supposed to appear -- with sophistication as they flow at 24fps.
This third season, however, exhibits a few differences from the previous packages. Instead of having moments on Cylon-occupied Caprica, which were coated with acid-level yellows and oranges in a heavily-contrasted veneer, they're replaced with extremely cold, slate-colored sequences on "New Caprica". Colors are washed out in a straightforward attempt to convey a brooding and emotionally taxed atmosphere, which are replicated well here with muted skin tones and sad exhibitions of granite coloring. Also, a few sequences grapple some extremely pleasing levels of high-definition crispness that overshadow many of the others across the series, such as the moments where Baltar transports himself to a beach during the Cylon torture. Most everything else, from the sterile Galactica mess hall and Adama's somewhat warm living quarters to the dark confines of the gadget-heavy CIC, look about the same as they have before -- off-and-on attractive and gritty.
Unswervingly excellent, however, the slate of DTS HD Master Audio tracks accompanying each episode are knockouts of the highest accord.
Battlestar Galactica
runs the gamut of sound effects, from gunfire and explosions to teetering levels of verbal clarity against the powerful scoring. Everything here sounds ravishing, from the subtle fire from the Viper fighter planes to the pulsing of a heartbeat in a few choice sequence. The repetitious piano scoring that echoes through the hallways of the Cylon base ship gracefully touches against all the notes, while the rhythmic "battle" cues thunder thunder through with potency. Explosions pounce to the lower-frequency channels, while Olmos' gruff verbal delivery finds a grating medium in the mid-to-lower channels. Again, even the least audibly aggressive of episodes are, on average, quite active when it comes to dynamism, and all the channels are supremely handled in each episode.
Special Features:
It seems as if each of these sets comes equipped with an extended version of one of the better episodes from the season, with this season's extended episode being an
Editor's Cut of Unfinished Business (1:10:11, HD)
-- a good twenty-some-odd minutes longer than its televised run. Naturally I don't have to convince
fans to watch the extended episode, but this lengthier version lets the editing and character interactions breathe with some added content involving Saul's conversation with Kara "the morning after", extra bits involving Adama and Roslin's relationship, and others. An explanatory
Commentary with Ronald D. Moore and Editor Micheal O'Halloran
explains the differences between the cut, and why this is the version of Unfinished Business that Moore thinks of when he imagines the episode.
Each disc arrives with content specifically geared towards episode, most paramount of course being the
Ronald D. Moore Podcast Commentaries
and the
Deleted Scenes (SD)
attached to most episodes. These are, again,
the Ronald Moore tracks available on Syfy.com
, which mostly contain Moore riffing about the episodes but also contain input from actors and other crew sporadically.
Discs Two
, and
all come adorned with
David E. Eick's Video Blogs (15:37; 20:52; 39:42; SD)
(which are also up on Syfy.com) that follow behind-the-scenes on assorted topics, comical and serious alike. Along with that, the Blu-rays themselves carry a few exclusives different from the DVDs, including BD-Live functionality with the
Battlestar Galactica
Trivia Challenge
Ultimate Battle Card Game
, and The
U-Control: The Oracle
feature that -- like other Universal U-Control pieces -- offers textual and rudimentary pictorial information about the ships and characters on-screen.
Some of the discs also contain a few different special features than the standard fare this time around.
Disc Two
comes with a Producer's Commentary with David Eick for the episode "Hero", where he talks a bit about his collaboration as a writer in this particular installment. This disc also contains all ten of
The Resistance Webisodes (26:24, SD)
, a glimpse into the lives of Tyrol, Tigh, and the rest on "New Caprica".
Disc Five
, on the other hand, also comes with a
Colonial Military Assessment Quiz
that unlocks an Easter Egg on the disc. Some of the questions can be a little tough, but shouldn't be too difficult in unlocking the material.
Final Thoughts:
Season Two of
Battlestar Galactica
marked the point when I realized that Ronald D. Moore's revamping of the classic science-fiction series should flat-out be considered as one of the strongest entries in the genre, essentially existing as a massive, cohesive piece of work that accessibly welds together political intrigue, potent drama, and thrilling space warfare. However, it's Season Three that made me realize that I was absorbing what would become a personal favorite piece of science-fiction work, period. Attention pulls away from politics and battle a bit this season to allow for a deeper focus on its more intrinsic potency, drawing parallels to modern-era concerns with warfare and a few dashes of theological contemplation. As the production values continue their streak of impressiveness and the performances remain sturdy throughout, the series again rearranges its pieces into something different -- and gripping in a compelling new fashion. You know the drill: the season comes with a
High Recommendation
, but the entire series comes with a far bigger stamp of approval.

Power Up Your E-Mail with Mutt
E-mail—one of the Internet's first joys and evils. It brings us closer but forces us to weed through clutter, distractions and snake oil salesmen. Parsing and organizing the data is a tricky task. As with most jobs tricky and time-consuming, people marry a favorite tool. Presumably, you have an e-mail reader you hold dear to your heart. Nevertheless, I suggest you cheat on Thunderbird, Evolution or KMail for a day and experience the power of Mutt, the e-mail client underdog.
Mutt is a feature-rich, lightweight, text-based e-mail client. Yes, it's text-based. Don't let Mutt's simple presentation fool you. The text-based display is a feature, providing a customizable, concise viewport. The Mutt e-mail client will play nicely with remote IMAP, POP3 and SMTP servers. SSL connections also are supported. Whatever features Mutt does not provide, other tools, such as address books, Web browsers, document viewers and more, can be leveraged to enhance Mutt's innate abilities. So, why all the fuss when most e-mail clients can do the same? Mutt is faster, more customizable and less resource-intensive.
Need to sort quickly through hundreds of e-mail messages a day? Find that your current e-mail client takes up too much screen real estate? Maybe your e-mail client consumes too much memory? Do you want better e-mail threading for all those mailing lists to which you belong? Are you a system administrator who regularly needs a quick way to test e-mail servers? Tired of dealing with your laptop's mouse pad to read and send e-mail? Want to use Vim or Emacs to compose your e-mail? If any of these apply, Mutt will seduce you.
The first obvious advantage of Mutt is its small memory footprint. Below, I show the memory usage of KMail, Thunderbird, Evolution and Mutt on my system:
VIRT RES SHR %MEM COMMAND 156m 37m 19m 3.7 thunderbird-bin 161m 33m 19m 3.3 evolution 96352 23m 17m 2.3 kmail 14548 6092 3180 0.6 mutt
Mutt uses only a fraction of the memory used by most popular e-mail clients. So, if you are using older hardware, Mutt may speed up your computer by freeing some memory. Either way, Mutt will not hog your system's resources.
Another advantage of Mutt is the text-based display. For one, the interface is highly customizable. All fields and colors can be changed to meet your demands. Color new e-mail messages green and deleted messages red. Produce pretty, threaded message views. Anything is possible.
Mutt has it all and through a shell, no less. No longer will you need to open up IMAP access to your private server. Instead, ssh into the server and run Mutt.
Before I go into Mutt's other features, let's configure Mutt, so you can take a test drive. In this article, I focus on how to configure Mutt to work with an IMAP server. For my examples, I use Gmail's IMAP service. Because Gmail is a public, freely available service, everyone should be able to follow along. If you have another IMAP server you want to use, change the settings from my examples to match your IMAP server's configuration. If you are using Gmail, make sure you enable IMAP access to your account in Gmail's Settings→Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
First, install Mutt. I recommend using Mutt 1.5.17 or newer. Features I discuss here, such as IMAP header caching, are not available in older Mutt releases. Chances are, your distribution has the latest and greatest. So, use yum, apt-get or compile the source code from www.mutt.org. If your custom binaries ever produce warnings about unknown features, check that you have all necessary options enabled in the compile's configure step.
Before running Mutt the first time, let's configure your IMAP connection. Create and edit a ~/.muttrc file, and add the following configuration options (make sure to fill in your account specifics):
set from="YOUR NAME <email@example.com>" set firstname.lastname@example.com set imap_pass=PASS
This sets your From line and IMAP user login. If you are not comfortable with your password being in plain text on the filesystem, do not set imap_pass in your ~/.muttrc. If imap_pass is not set, you will be prompted for a password when you execute Mutt.
Next, set your folder, the default location of your mailboxes. You also might want to set the spoolfile to your Gmail Inbox, so that Mutt opens it automatically:
set folder=imaps://imap.gmail.com set spoolfile=imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX
Then, configure Mutt to save sent mail, or your record, into a Gmail folder named Sent. You also might want to configure a Draft, or postponed, folder:
set record=imaps://imap.gmail.com/Sent set postponed=imaps://imap.gmail.com/Drafts
Make sure to enable header caching, or Mutt will have to download all of your Inbox's headers upon each execution:
set header_cache=~/.mutt_cache
Finally, you need to configure smtp.gmail.com as your SMTP server. By default, Mutt delivers e-mail using /usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi. In your case, use Gmail's SMTP server so that the e-mail envelope looks legitimate. Otherwise, your message might be flagged as spam for not originating from gmail.com:
set smtp_url="smtps://USER\@gmail.com:email@example.com/"
Again, leave out :PASS to increase security and enable a password prompt for each message sent.
Although these are the basics, the .muttrc file has the potential for a slew of options. Listing 1 is my entire .muttrc with some additional tweaks. Many of the options are just that, optional. The muttrc(5) man page explains them all, so be sure to give it a look.
Finally a great article about this nice e-mail editor.GREAT JOB!!!!!
Thank you for this wonderful article. Your information allowed me to finish configuring mutt for myself and my friends.

I'm kind of like Homer Simpson, "Why can't I praise the lord in my own way. Praying like hell in my death bed."
I do not pray, but when I do then I pray to Goddess Athena seldomly.
You don't even need a god or goddess for the altar, you can represent the elements instead if you prefer, if I had an altar that is what I would do because I do not have a god/goddess based faith.

Fraker's Farm – "Moose Love Sugar" – [Self Release]
This CD has a feel of being performed around a campfire, with guitar strums seguing the songs together smoothly as the darkness closes in around the crackling warmth. Described as "blues psychedelia chill funk," this Georgia trio of guitar, bass, and drums with predominantly male vocals is fairly easy on the ears but different enough to make listening a worthwhile experience. You decide which genre this is closest to.

Given sharply rising costs, will Texas colleges keep providing free tuition to the state's military veterans? Will the Hazelwood Act and its companion, the Hazelwood Legacy Act, which extends tuition exemptions to vets' family members, survive without more funding? Or will the state's colleges have to make the popular programs work in spite of increases that have driven their total cost up to $75 million?
It looks a fiscal cliff for higher ed in Texas to me. Dominic Chavez, a spokesperson for the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board calls it a "tipping point." Whatever it's called, the increases in the program in the last three years are staggering.
In October, the Texas Tribune reported that the number of veterans and their families receiving tuition exemptions under Hazelwood was up "by 129 percent" in just three years. With the number of veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, the percentage could skyrocket. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board believes that the time has come to find ways to deal with that.
So far, the state's colleges have been absorbing the increase. But they say they can't continue offering the same level of services without more support. So that raises an important question:
Will Texas veterans and their families get the kind of education they deserve, the kind of education that the Hazelwood Acts promised or will they have to accept a substandard substitute? Barring that, will tuition for other students go up to compensate for the increasing costs?
When bullets start flying, troops stand and fight. Will the legislature duck and run? Last time it was in session, it was facing a $27 billion shortfall so it reduced funding to higher education.
Now it may have to bite that bullet. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is formally recommending that the legislature take action to help the Hazelwood programs. According to the San Antonio Express-News, a number of chancellors of higher education institutions around the state are talking with newspaper editorial boards about their troubles providing Hazelwood benefits. Maybe that will hold some legislative feet to the fire.
"Veterans come to me, worried that they'll be forgotten in this fight between the Legislature and higher ed," says State Senator Leticia Van de Putte, chair of the Veteran Affairs and Military Installations Committee and author of the Hazelwood Legacy law. Her perspective on the Hazelwood benefit is simple: "Veterans earned it. They shouldn't have to fight for it."
To that I say, amen!

Solve this riddle: What is it? It will always be 'the' topic for social events and holiday gatherings. Sometimes it is up and sometimes down. Sometimes all wish they were involved. Sometimes those same people are grateful they did not participate.
Sometimes, everyone you know is happy about their place in it all; sometimes those same friends are feeling as if the agony of their involvement will never end. Sometimes you feel like you missed the boat; sometimes you feel you are glad you never boarded the boat. Your grandmother did well in it, but these days, your friends and family have been losing money in it.
In just three years, it can produce millionaires or paupers, both of whom started with the same initial funds invested. And the clincher: No one, not even the people who run the industry, really know where it is all heading over the next three to six years. And a color change can alter its direction and stabilize millions invested in it.
What is it? We are of course speaking of the real estate market. What a time the past four years were! Subprime mortgage markets disintegrating because of those in the industry who were granting loans without discretion. All involved were pushing to close record numbers of transactions, feeling this was a gift after so much hard work in a normal market. Flooding the market at warp speed were masses of investors, many of whom would go to any lengths to buy a property, leaving analysts and economists baffled. Why is this? We're all feeling this was too good to be true. Guess what? It was.
The color that can put it back on a forward course for all is the new arena of 'green.'That is because today's consumers are smarter than ever before. They see utility bills rising to new highs with no end in sight. Homeowners want to define their carbon footprint, and leave more than just money as a legacy. Global climate issues are important to them. The new world of 'green' offers new opportunity to the entrepreneur spirit.
In addition, the savvy buyer today is demanding their real estate investment also be an environmentally responsible investment. Concerns over indoor air quality are coming up more and more. Children are in schools with recycling programs, and bring these ideas home to their parents. Worries about escalating utility bills, and excitement about renewable energy, are becoming normal topics of discussion around the dinner table.
According to EnergyPulse.org, 78% of the consumers who bought a property in these last years say no one talked to them about energy efficiency. But whether one owns or wants to own, people are looking for ways to become more energy efficient. It should be real estate and mortgage professionals who guide people to local resources, helping them navigate tax benefits and green mortgages, find energy auditors. Renewable energy installers, and contractors who are green educated care about what they install and the information they share.
Everyone has different motivations for 'going green.' Some feel we are funding our own terrorism by purchasing foreign oil. There are those who have a concern for utility bills that most feel could double in 20 years. Some want to use the clean natural resources that are so plentiful in their parts of the country. North Dakota and South Dakota have enough wind to power the electricity for the entire United States. Look at the solar advantages in Florida. Take note of the amount of rain Oregon gets every year. And how much parts of Georgia could use that rain. Think green and join the new industrial revolution.

PIONEER VILLAGE - Two of Pioneer Village's finest were recognized for their life-saving efforts.
Pioneer Village police officers James Miller and Ray Wilburn were recognized by the city council for their assistance with a local resident experiencing a heart attack.
The officers responded to a home on Greymont Court on Jan. 18, finding an unresponsive male in full cardiac arrest.
Wilburn was able to enter the home through an unlocked garage door and immediately began CPR.
HEBRON ESTATES - Occasionally in sports the Most Valuable Player will also make the best play of the season.
North Bullitt High School teacher Christy Bickett was crucial in one of the top moments of the past school year, when her AP Calculus class won the TI-Nspire Express Your Selfie Contest hosted by Texas Instruments, with the class receiving a live Skype interview with actress Mayim Bialik from "The Big Bang Theory."
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Bullitt Lick Middle music instructor Meredith Patton remembered the e-mail from principal Lee Barger at 6:50 a.m. on a Friday.
"He asked me if the band can play at a morning ceremony," she said.
The mother of three was frantic, getting her son ready for school while texting members of the BLMS band, telling them to meet her at school with their instruments ready.
When she arrived, she told the students they would perform in 10 minutes.
BROOKS - Some believe they are born to teach; others feel they should pursue other career paths. On occasion, someone might do both.
Brooks Elementary teacher Gina Beasley did, switching gears from a decade-long business profession to begin a teaching career.
Beasley made the right move for herself personally, as well as for the district, proven by her selection as the Bullitt County Public Schools 2015 Elementary Teacher of the Year.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- A Bullitt County resident is getting some big recognition for her time and talent.
Tammy Ott, owner of Today's Kids Childcare & Learning Facility in Shepherdsville, was one of six recently nominated for the EPIC Award given by the National Association of Women Business Owners of Louisville.
A generous man made a special donation to the Mount Washington Police Department and Shepherdsville Fire Department recently.
Mount Washington resident Brad Williams donated to of his teddy bears to the chiefs so they can be given to children who need it most.
The departments keep bears and other stuffed animals on hand with them to give to children who might be at fires or domestic disputes to help keep their minds off of the situation.
"It would be good if everyone could give a bear," Brad said.
NICHOLS -- Les Bandy died doing what he had been doing for the past 35 years -- finding a way to help his community.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Since the day Jessica Dishon disappeared on Sept. 10, 1999, the worlds of two families changed forever.
One would spend the next 15-plus years wondering who would brutally assault and then murder the Bullitt Central High School student.
Another would feel the stares of those believing that David "Bucky" Brooks was the person responsible.
On Thursday, the parents of Jessica Dishon would sit in a Nelson County Courthouse as Stanley Dishon would enter an Alford plea for his role in the death of his niece.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Vina Leslie gave her all to make the world a better place for wounded veterans.
She gave until she couldn't give anymore. And then from there she gave again.
The Shepherdsville resident passed away in August 2013. In her will, she left a bulk of her estate to the Homes for Our Troops (HFOT) program, a total of $111,989.
HILLVIEW - Logan Johnson's Yellow Brick Road turned out to be Interstate 71.
That's the route he traveled from his Hillview home to the Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where he received a new heart.
Logan is a 10-year-old fifth-grade student attending Little Flock Christian Academy. On Sunday, Oct. 19, he also became a 10-year-old heart transplant recipient.
On top of receiving a second opportunity, Logan was well enough to return home just in time for the Christmas holiday season.

Response to letters in the Leader Wednesday April 9.
First of all Mr. Peat says I threatened to close the Car Terrace at Huttoft. Thank you Mr. Peat for thinking I have the power to close the Car Terrace.
I am the local county councillor, duly elected by the people of Sutton on Sea, Alford, Huttoft and Bilsby and some of the smaller hamlets in between.
I am a Lincolnshire Independent and part of the opposition and a back bencher so I am really flattered by Mr. Peat and his belief that I can decide things for the County Council.
I did not threaten to shut the Terrace but merely warned people that it could be an option.
Mr. Peat also has the opinion that car owners are just jealous of Motor Home owners. Not one person I have spoken to have ever said such a ludicrous thing.
He also thinks that I put up the barriers, again wrong, I don't have the power as I have already stated but I do support the decision in the short term to stop those who have been abusing the Car Terrace for years and before I was elected.
In my election campaign in which I went to every house in the division and spoke with as many people as possible,
I discovered in Huttoft the problem with the Car Terrace was worse than I already knew and I did as part of my election campaign promise I would do what I could if elected to tackle the problem.
I keep my word and although you may not like the way the council is tackling the problem, Mr. Peat, at least it is now being tackled. Mr. Peat also says that I am being congratulated by a tiny self interested minority.
I think the minority that should be looked at are the selfish few who are causing this problem and I do not include the proper tourists who stay on legal sites including the motor home owners.
He says he does not condone criminal damage but neither has he condemned those that have nor has he admitted that if a small minority of motor home owners were to stop overnighting then the problem would not have been here in the first place.
He also states that I have pandered to the wrong people, sorry Mr. Peat, I am not pandering to anyone but if you mean I am supporting my communities who are having their lives being made a misery, then yes guilty.
I would support you in similar circumstances but you don't have that problem do you? You may be being inconvenienced while the County Council get to grips with the problem but you are not suffering misery.
No Mr. Peat I am the elected councillor for this area of the county and if you don't like my actions you will have your vote in the future but in the meantime I will do what I think is right for communities that I represent.
Mr Beacroft, I do sympathise unreservedly for the situation caused by a few selfish people who are locally ruining the reputation of motor homers.
I repeat that it was not a threat just a statement that closure of the site was an option, which I also stated that I hoped it would never come to that.
I do find it incredulous that all the fuss people have made about the District Councils decision to charge people for parking in their car parks that some are now saying that the County Council should charge for the Car Terrace.
It would be much simpler if the selfish few desisted from overnight parking then all could benefit for free but these people are sheltering behind the majority of motor homers and using them to support and fight for their "freeloading lifestyles" which is being paid for by the people of Lincolnshire.
Finally the Council are not hell bent on closing the Car Terrace but are hell bent on stopping those who are causing criminal damage and illegally parking overnight.
Name and Address supplied, thank you for spending your hard earned cash on fuel, food, meals and bar lunches but why then think that some are entitled to boycott our hard working local people who are trying to eke out a living by running touring camp sights and stop on a site not for overnight parking?
It is not occasionally, it is persistent by some. Those barriers were built very strong, motor homes were near the site and near the barriers yet not one of them heard anything? Not one heard the noise that must have been made to destroy the concrete and the metal work? Perhaps very sound sleepers?
Who knows but someone did the damage and some then took advantage by moving straight in but I expect they were perfectly innocent. Maybe it was Sea Elves?
I never spouted anything. I did not say all were "freeloaders and tourists" what I said was a handful of selfish people were freeloaders and I make very big distinction between people who want to illegally park on Huttoft Car Terrace and think they have a right to live there and tourists who come and benefit the local economy by staying on proper legal sites plus all the other spending you indicated.
The first are not welcome and are ruining it for all. The second are welcome and I would ask them to bear with us while this problem is sorted.
County Councillor Steve Palmer

Fergie's "got that M.I.L.F. money" in her new song "M.I.L.F. $." It marks the first single off her upcoming new album, which will be her first new music since 2006's The Dutchess.
Related: Fergie Teases 'Hungry' from Upcoming 'Double Dutchess'
"Heard you in the mood for a little M.I.L.F. shake/ Welcome to the Dairy Dutchess Love Factory/ I could whip it up, mix you up straight away/ Come on in the front door, leave it out the back door, whip it, flip it, hey," she raps in the first verse. The song sounds like a few different styles in one beginning with more of an hip-hop feel before building into an electronica-pop hybrid. It's big, brassy Fergie to be sure.
Fergie could follow shortly behind the drop with a video reportedly featuring Kim Kardashian and Chrissy Teigen, according to Idolator. They are two celebrity moms who definitely get that "M.I.L.F. $."
The single's artwork leaked early, but Fergie took control of the situation and shared the cover art on Instagram.

Key West: Southernmost Point Feb 12, 2010
Traveling down from Ft. Lauderdale, through The Everglades, and down into The Keys was exciting and we made many pitstops. The best part was when we arrived to Key West, I found Plumeria trees (my favorite--I now grow some in the MidWest indoors under growlights, and guess what? THEY ARE IN BLOOM!!!) Key West was beautiful and the water is very pretty, however if I had to compare it to Hawaii, Hawaii would win. In fact, I found myself comparing the two frequently. The atmosphere is different. Key West feels a little more townsy, cute but busy but definitely very USA. By comparison, Hawaiian islands generally feel more like you're far away, and, well, you actually ARE too. You'd have to try both to see what I mean.

Southern most point in the nation Apr 30, 2008
Key West, Florida is the southern most point in the United States and in 1983 they built a now famous buoy style monument. It has become one of the biggest attractions on the island and is at the corner of South and Whitehead Streets that claims to be the southernmost point in the contiguous 48 states. The point was originally just marked with a sign, which was often stolen. Brightly painted and labeled "SOUTHERNMOST POINT CONTINENTAL U.S.A.", it is one of the most visited and photographed attractions in Key West.

You can have 1 inch pleated filters with a pressure drop above 0.35 and have a 5 inch merv 16 with a pressure drop of 0.36 new out of the box rated at 1200 cfm and 375 feet per minute.
The other factors to look at is at what cfm and face velocity that the filter was tested under using ASHRE 52. standard. The velocity used during testing can be less than 1/3rd of the velocity in a home system.
The bottom line before changing to a higher merv filter have the system tested to see what the available static pressure is left after all other items have been installed in the airflow, then determine what filters are available that will work with a lead-way for loading as the filter is in use.

Tralee Pitch & Putt
MUNSTER MATCH-PLAY FINALS Last weekend in Parteen, Limerick the Munster Match-Play Finals took place. Tralee was represented by Tony Blake (Senior), Declan O'Connell (Inter) & Aidan O'Sullivan (Junior). On Saturday in the last 16 Tony Blake beat Liam O'Donovan on the 38th hole before succumbing to the Corkman Anthony O'Loughlin by 4&3. In the Inters Declan O'Connell received a walkover before winning his 1/4 final by 9&8 to book his place in the semi. Our Junior Aidan O'Sulilivan swept aside the challenge of Martin O'Sullivan (Rocklodge) by 6&5. In the 1/4 final he was up against another Kerryman Timmy Looney representing Castleisland. Both knowing their opponents strengths and weaknesses meant this game might go the distance and it's how it turned out with Aidan finally overcoming the challenge on the 3rd tie hole to book his place in the semi. On Sunday morning both Declan and Aidan came up against strong competitors and sadly Tralee's hopes were dashed. Well done to the three lads in their efforts representing our club at provincial level.
The club closing date for the National Stroke-Play Qualifiers is this Sunday (26th). Only those who have paid in advance will be permitted to enter. All other names will taken off the sheet. This qualifier will take place in Tralee on June 23rd.
Last Thursday evening saw 8 players team up to take on our Killeen course and good craic was had by all. Tomorrow evening starting at 6.30pm all members are invited to play in these fun events. Entry is a nominal €2.
This Sunday Tralee will host these finals and a good representation of 15 local players who hope to win out in the grades for County Titles.
Our premier event will this year take place on Sunday June 9th.
This year the camp will run from Monday July 22nd to Friday July 26th from 10 - 2.30pm each day. Monday - Wednesday will involve intensive coaching on the skills of the game. Thursday will involve a trip to Deerpark to experience and hone the skills on another course. Cost is €50 per child and €40 for each subsequent child. Full details are available in the clubhouse and application forms will soon be available.

Flint River Fishing Report
Monday - January 5th, 2009
Thomaston, GA
- Posted By
- Tom Reese
Temperatures ranged from low 50's to low 70's. Partly cloudy
I had the opportunity yesterday, Sunday, to fish the Upper Flint River for a few hours in the afternoon for the elusive shoal bass that I am so fortunate to have so close to my home. For months the river level have been so low that fishing it has been near impossible. Over the past month we have had some pretty good rains, so the water level has been on the rise. This makes paddling my kayak much easier and is also better on the bottom of the yak. I started out the afternoon fishing a Zoom Pumpkin Green on Green Trick Worm and a 1/2 oz. Booyah pig n jig. There were no takers of either of these baits so I switches to a 1/4 oz. white spinnerbait with tandem blades. The water was actually heavily staines with about 2 feet of visability. I had one "dink" take a swipe at the bait but didn't hook up. Later in the afternoon when heading back to the put in, I was casting at a blowdowns in deeper water and "slow rolled" the spinnerbait by the trunk up close to the bank. BAM!!!! She engulfed the bait and headed out to deeper water all the while doing her acrobatic jumps. After a few snapshots and weighing her in at 3lb. 8oz., she was released to fight another day. What a way to end the afternoon, especially in January! Looks like the new year is off to a great start. Stay tuned for future reports on my river kayak fishing experiences and hopefully some great pictures of the beautiful fish and scenery we have here!

I have absolutely no idea how to use this site.
Why can't it be as simple to post and change stuff as LinkedIn?
If I, a doctoral researcher, can't work it out, it's way too esoteric and needs to be improved.
But ... maybe you guys relish the fact that you have created an impervious and obstructive site.
The blog I need help with is earldeblonville.wordpress.com.

After a short time, a new window should open in which the java applet will be running.
With this little Java-program you can calculate the properties of laminates with at most 20 single layers by using the classical laminate theory [1]. Each layer may have different fiber and matrix material as well as fiber orientation angles, layer thickness and fiber volume content.
- Define the fiber and matrix material by chosing one choice of the given materials. Enter the fiber angle, the layer thickness and the fiber volume content (in percent).
- Click on the Button "Layer OK". The layer definition is internally stored. The properties of the unidirectional layer are shown in the list field to the right of the layer listing area.
- Enter all layers in the same way.
- If you made a mistake, you can remove or insert a layer by using the "Edit"-menu. Additionally, you can modify a layer by typing in the layer number in the first text field and entering the proper data in the other fields.
- With default, the reference plane for the laminate theory is the geometric middle plane of the laminate. If you have to use an other plane, please enter the coordinate with respect to the lower laminate surface in the appropriate field.
- When the whole laminate definition is entered, click on the "Analyse Laminate" Button. Then the defined laminate is analysed and the properties of the laminate are shown in the list field.
At this time, only the laminate properties can be calculated. Most menu buttons don't work. In the future, this little program will be extended, so that also stresses and margins of safety can be determined.
A more powerful version of this code is available as a stand alone application. This application allows loading and saving laminate definition, printing of results and calculating stresses and margins of safety.
If you like this small code, please send me an E-Mail with your comments.

It didn't look it like it was intentional. He was just trying to bring his leg back down. Nice "accident' though. :)

Richland County Coroner Gary Watts says an excessive amount of caffeine ultimately led to the death of a Midlands high school student.
Watts updated the public Monday afternoon on the death of Davis Allen Cripe, 16. Cripe collapsed at Spring Hill High School back on April 26, and later died at the hospital.
Watts said the teen had consumed multiple caffeinated drinks that day, including a large diet Mountain Dew, a cafe latte, and also some kind of energy drink.
All that caffeine led to a cardiac event that killed Cripe. "We lost Davis from a totally legal substance," Watts said.
"[Cripe] was totally against drugs, he was totally against alcohol," Watts added. "He didn't do any of that."
Watts says like many, Cripe was doing something he thought was totally harmless, but Watts said the drinks can be very dangerous.
He said he urges people not to consume them.
An initial autopsy done on the boy did not reveal the cause of death. Further tests were needed to reach the conclusion announced Monday.

Memorial Day, and these days after, are about much more than big sales and the unofficial kickoff to summer. As we take some time to reflect on our fallen heroes, and enjoy quality time with family and friends… we want to share a post about a couple unique community opportunities we've had the chance to take part in recently. One involves the fight to end teen bullying… the other involves an Illinois boy with a special wish.
ARCh Youth Team Presentation
We love to host local organizations in our Community Room when we can. On Saturday, May 20, we were proud to have the ARCh Youth Team present its program "A Celebration of Differences" right here at Steinhafels.
ARCh (The Association for the Rights of Citizens with handicaps) promotes the health, safety, and achievement of children and adults with disabilities. The Youth Team goes to schools and gives presentations that will hopefully one day help end bullying.
Here are some pictures from "A Celebration of Differences," a teen-created collection of skits and personal stories.

bomb calorimeter
Definition: an instrument for determining the potential energy of organic substances, including those in foods. It consists of a hollow steel container, lined with platinum and filled with pure oxygen, into which a weighed quantity of substance is placed and ignited with an electric fuse; the heat produced is absorbed by water surrounding the bomb and, from the rise in temperature, the calories liberated are calculated.

Went home for lunch, thunderstorm rolled in, I had just sat down for some nice fish and vegetables when *POP* everything goes dark save for my laptop. So I got to finish the top gear episode while eating lunch (gotta love technology) and went back to work. Figure it'll be about 7-8:00 pm before power comes back on. So here's the schedule for tonight
Take fiesta, go to store, pick up ice, go back home, ignore the dishes, grab my stein, go to the brewery (brewery vivant represent!), have a cold stein or two, and wait for this all to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

Two midwives from Doncaster and Bassetlaw NHS Foundation Trust have been shortlisted for an award recognising innovations that could transform the NHS.
Specialist Healthy Lifestyle Midwives Carolyn Garland and Alison Williams support pregnant women in South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw to improve their eating habits and begin gentle exercise during their pregnancy.
They work particularly with women who struggle to maintain healthy eating habits and are therefore at increased risk of developing complications during pregnancy or needing to have their babies by Caesarean section for medical reasons.
The service launched three years ago in Doncaster but proved so successful it has now been rolled out across Bassetlaw.
Carolyn said they were thrilled to have reached the finals of the awards.
"Our work is about supporting pregnant women in a sensitive and non-judgmental way to make lifestyle changes that will enable their babies and them to enjoy a healthier pregnancy and the best possible start in life," she said.
"We are really pleased that the judges felt it was an innovation that could work elsewhere in the region as well."
Carolyn and Alison will find out whether they have won at an awards ceremony in Wakefield on 11th October.
