EMBARKATION: Very easy, if you have all of completed the on-line check-in process. At about 11:30 a.m. we dropped off our luggage at the dock, filled out the health questionnaire, and completed check-in in about 15 minutes. We then waited another 10 minutes before the ship's photographer took our picture and then boarded the ship. Then we were off to the Vista Dining Room for lunch. The Staterooms were promptly ready by 1:30 p.m. Everything was extremely organized and quick.
STATEROOM: We had an inside quad. The room was very spacious, even for 4. Lots of closet space, but wished there was more drawer space. The space where there is usually more drawer space was taken by a small refrigerator with sodas, water and small bottles of liquor. Our cabin steward was Wagiman. He was excellent. He was in and out of our cabin so quickly, doing a wonderful job. We hardly ever ran into him except for the hallways. Our room was always clean and well maintained the entire cruise. Our daughters loved the nightly towel animals! The only problem we had was that, at times, we smelled cigarette smoke coming from the vents. Perhaps this is because our cabin was directly below the casino. Other than that, everything else was great.
ENTERTAINMENT: We attended the shows every night, except for the comedian who performed a late night act. Edge, the juggler was fantastic and funny. We totally enjoyed his performances. Delisco, a singer, was also very good. The production shows were very good, with some excellent vocalists and dancing.
ACTIVITIES: There was always something going on on the ship. We attended many of the Culinary Arts demos, the Newlywed not so newlywed game, played bingo, and attempted the daily trivia from the library. Melissa, the Party Planner is hilarious! Our daughters really didn't participate in Club HAL, but wanted to hang out with us. That was ok with us, because it was a family vacation. The pool was quite crowed on sea days, and most of the children on board were well behaved. There was a pool party one evening with a dessert buffet and dancing. The chocolate fountains were especially fun and delicious. Parker, the Cruise Director was excellent! He and his staff did a great job with all of the activities.
PORTS OF CALL: Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan & Puerto Vallarta - We really didn't go on any excursions, but basically did some shopping around each port. One note of caution……watch out for all of the vendors and tour guides who mob you, once you get off the ship. One vendor even put jewelry on my daughter, trying to get us to buy it! Also, in Mazatlan, the taxi drivers drive wild. My daughters and I feared for our lives at times, barely missing other moving vehicles, including a bus and pedestrians.
SUMMARY: Overall, we totally enjoyed our Oosterdam cruise and would highly recommend HAL to others. The ship is spotless, always seeing a crew member vacuuming, cleaning glass doors, or polishing the brass railings. The service is EXCELLENT. We were always greeted with friendly smiles from the crew as we walked along the hallways. The front office staff was also very helpful and friendly. We were very sad to leave....wish we could have stayed on the ship for, at least, another week. We have sailed with HAL a total of 3 times and would definitely sail with them again.

Some travelers may not be aware that the country of Denmark is actually comprised of over 400 islands, many of which are small and unpopulated. Yet of the larger ones, Bornholm is undoubtedly the one that should command travelers' attention.
The island of Bornholm is a popular vacation spot for European travelers. The reason is because the island, located in the Baltic Sea, provides all the warm weather sand and sun typical of an island oasis while also maintaining an interesting sense of culture and history.
Many travelers head to Bornholm, play in the water and lie on the beach and have a fantastic time. And indeed, this can be a great vacation. But there's more to Bornholm than the shores.
Further inland, guests will find the interesting architectural styles of the island's famous "round churches," which were built in medieval times, yet differ from traditional medieval churches because of their circular shape.
They also might be interested in the medieval center of the island, where a historic city has been rebuilt for medieval times. In the summer, the island hosts a medieval festival that culminates with an epic jousting tournament along with archery competitions and cannon fire.

vacation rental description
Beautiful, charming, relaxing, fun, heaven on earth, blessed.
We are glad that you have found our vacation home. For us it has been our home for the past two and a half years, but, we are excited about others finding out what we know. We are now making our house available for rent. Now everyone can find out how Dauphin Island is one of the Gulf Coasts best kept secrets. We feel like we have the best of both worlds here. We have one of the most spectacular views from our back deck looking over one of Dauphin Islands inlets, along with a view toward Mobile Bay and entry to the Gulf of Mexico. We are only a couple of minutes from the beach, so we have you covered which ever you prefer during your stay.
Our house has a great layout inside, if you are coming with your family or sharing your vacation with another family. We have two bedrooms on each side of a large family room, with jack and jill baths in between. Plenty of privacy if you are sharing a vacation with others. The downstairs fifth bedroom is perfect for the kids. The kitchen is open to the family room giving it a warm, open feeling.
Our back deck will be the winning part of this story. You will not want to come back inside once you relax on the deck and get lost in the view. You will see beautiful sunsets, boats passing by, and the peacefulness of the water on a calm or breezy day while you relax on the deck. You can keep an eye on the children swimming below in the pool. I told you, you will not want to go back in.
No matter how long you stay, you will not lack for things to do. From our home you will be able to go swimming, fishing, kayaking and boating. Dauphin Island is a great place to go for a long walk, ride bikes, bird watch or just lay on the beach. You can even catch the ferry that runs between Dauphin Island and Gulf Shores.
Dauphin Island will give you what most people want from a vacation. A chance to escape the busy and noisy life. When you go home, you will know that you have been rested and recharged. We hope you will love our home as much as we do. Thank you, Steve and Cathy Vickers.

OK – the first bit is my review of the album Life…
Talisman just like an endless procession of mainly European bands during the 90's and 00's are akin to an old sailors home. The sort of place where occasionally employed types wash up in. But one saving grace for sailors homes is the fact that you'll find plenty of experienced hands there. As Marcel Jacob quips in the liner notes on some releases of this disc he pretty much tops the list of mentions in the Encyclopedia of Swedish Hard Rock and Heavy Metal.
The album itself is full of tasteful generic hard rock. There are some studio tricks tried such as the way tracks five and six seque into one another. A few styles are given a workout from the vocally driven Soul 2 Soul which has a touch of funk and a pleasant open structure to the more muscular Tears In The Sky and Body. Good riffs are to be found here as well such as those of All That Really Matters which also has a catchy chorus to boot. And Hands Of Time rides a bass heavy attack to a soulful perfection.
With competent production values, solid and honest songcraft and of course the vox of Jeff Scott Soto Talisman – at least on this album – should appeal to fans of non hysterical hard rock and given the nice chorus and riff work here this disc makes for a fine highway driving soundtrack.
And here is a review for the live album….
In this release of this album there are liner notes by Marcel Jacob wherein he publicly disses this release stating that the title actually is an irony – that he chose the title as he felt nobody else would give this 5 out of 5. So it's sort of hard to put such things out of your mind when first you listen to this live offering by the collection of hard rock journeymen known as Talisman.
Despite the live setting production here is fine as most of the crowd noise filtered out. The musicianship seems fine. I've no idea if there were lots of overdubs or what – and the songs themselves are very indicative of the sort of generalist hard rock the band produce. That being PG rated hard rock with nice riffs and Jeff Scott Soto crooning away over the top in his full bodied way.
Personal favourites here would proably include the tunes Comin' Home which has an insistent delivery and the encore All Or Nothing which scoots along nicely.
Fans of Talisman should probably pick this up if they can find it reasonably well priced but if you've no real affinity for them then this release won't change your mind. But it's twelve tracks of generalist hard rock that like other Talisman product is good for highway cruising.
All up I'd give Life a 3.5 star rating and the live album scrapes into three star territory. Together they make a healthy four star package if you can get it cheap.

Who's right on the Paycheck Fairness Act?
By Opinion Staff
On Tuesday, the Senate failed to approve the Paycheck Fairness Act, which Democrats say would mandate equal pay for equal work.
The measure moves beond the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the first piece of legislation President Obama signed in 2009. It amended the Civil Rights Act of 1964 so that the 180-day statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit regarding pay discrimination resets with each new discriminatory paycheck. That Supreme Court had ruled against Ms. Ledbetter's discrimination claim against Goodyear Tire and Rubber, saying it was too late because it came more than 180 days after she received her first paycheck. Goodyear paid Ms. Ledbetter's male coworkers more for doing the same job.
The Paycheck Fairness Act bill would require employers to provide a reason for pay gaps when asked, and bar companies from retaliating against employees who discuss pay. The $15 million measure would also fund skills-building programs to train women in negotiating better salaries.
Senate Republicans blocked the bill saying it would impose too much of a burden on employers and spawn frivolous lawsuits. "It's the right cause but the wrong bill," Sen. Scott Brown, R-MA said after the vote. Republicans also disagree with Democrats' contention that gender discrimination is the reason women earn 77 cents for every dollar men earn. They contend it's because women work less hours and take more time off from employment to raise children.
Democrats knew they didn't have enough Republican votes to bring the measure to the floor for an up down vote. The failure of the measure to pass, however, gives President Obama an issue to use against Republicans in his re-election campaign.
What do you think? Who's right on the paycheck fairness issue? Democrats or Republicans. Click the link below to take our poll.

The combination of a stalking pose and fresh snow falling lend an air of realism to this photo even in a captive situation. You don't really want to be the object of that stalk; but I have been followed by wild wolves without being threatened by them. They are masters at keeping out of site while keeping you in view at all times.
The gray wolf possesses an easy lope that can carry him tirelessly for many miles. Once locked on his prey, he will simply wear it down into submission.
Although wolves seem to love to show their teeth and snap them a lot, they seldom really bite and hurt each other. Most of it is posturing for superiority or some annoyance of the moment. With all the close body contact they indulge in, it's not surprising that tense moments arise.
I seldom leave large unfocused areas near the foreground of my photographs, but I made an exception here. I think the blurry wolf in the front adds a slightly sinister element to the stare down. Coupled with the low point of view, it also makes me feel as if I am the wolf returning the stare.
Perhaps a wolf like this is what greeted Little Red Riding Hood in the infamous story from our childhood. At any rate, we learned to fear the wolf early in our lives instead of appreciating its beauty and intelligence.
I love to photograph birds and animals when snow is coming down. The quiet atmosphere produces a feeling of oneness with nature and its creatures that brings peace to the soul. I am afraid that modern man has lost his sense of place in the wilderness. We should all get out more often when snow is falling.
Wolves, and other wild animals, have a knack for disguising themselves when they don't want to be seen. A frequent trick is to keep their eyes covered by branches to avoid their telltale roundness from showing. When this wolf peered out from the willows, I quickly moved to the right and knelt down for this photo to keep the twigs from crossing his eyes. It is exactly the way I have been stared at by animals in the wild who were trying not to be seen.
You can almost always recognize the alpha female and male in a pack because they are the ones carrying their tails above the horizontal most of the time. Any other wolf daring to do so would quickly be put in its place.
The gray wolf (or grey, if you come from Canada) has many colour variations. From nearly black to almost pure white, and many shades of gray and brown, the wolf is as varied as any animal. His cunning and skill as a predator, however, is a constant. Love him, or hate him, the wolf is a magnificent creature, and it would be a shame to lose him.
In a typical wolf pack only the alpha male and female get to breed and produce young. Unfortunately, the alpha female was constantly flirting with the subordinate male above, which caused him much stress. If he didn't repel her advances he was going to get beat up by the alpha male! Life is tough even in a wolf pack.
The "timber wolf" is one of the most admired and reviled animals in North America. Relentless pressure from man has made it a very wary animal. At the same time, I have been fortunate to call a number of wolves into the range of my lens by howling my greetings. It is a special thrill to howl in consort with a group of wolves, but even more exciting when they actually move closer.

To the editor:
Attention, Republicans! It was not Hurricane Sandy and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie that defeated Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. It was not government gifts. It was not a solar flare. It was most certainly not black helicopters that dropped "urban voters" into rural districts to steal the election.
Simply put, Romney and Ryan lost because they and their ideas did not appeal to a majority of voters and they insulted the intelligence of the American people with too many lies, egregious attempts to disenfranchise voters and just plain stupid statements.
The Republican Party is wrong on several fundamental assumptions. In fact, average Americans want a separation of church and state, the basic concept of "fairness" does motivate voters, most people disagree with their beliefs that individualism trumps community and that government is always a problem and never a help. After the disasters of deregulation and the crash of 2008, voters do not accept that private enterprise, if only left alone, will do what is best for everyone, every time.
If the Republicans continue to pursue a political strategy defined by self-hypnosis, hyperbole, hypocrisy, hysteria and hyper-partisanship, it will cost them more Congressional seats in 2014.
A party that lives in a bubble will become the party that ends up in rubble.

Curried Chicken Pockets Recipe
"I served these pitas stuffed with zippy chicken filling for a picnic the day my husband and I got engaged," reports Lisa Scandrette of Eveleth, Minnesota. "Now our children enjoy them."
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup chutney
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 6 cups cubed cooked chicken
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1-1/3 cups warm water (110° to 115°), divided
- 3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornmeal
- Lettuce leaves
- In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chutney, curry powder and chicken; refrigerate until serving.
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/3 cup warm water. Add 1-1/2 cups of flour, oil, salt, sugar and remaining water; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch dough down; shape into six balls. Let rise for 30 minutes. Sprinkle three ungreased baking sheets with cornmeal. Roll each ball into a 7-in. circle. Place two circles on each baking sheet. Let rise for 30 minutes.
- Bake at 500° for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut pitas in half. Line each with lettuce; fill with 1/3 cup chicken mixture. Yield: 12 sandwiches.

This recipe and photo were created by contributor Katie Morris of Katie at the Kitchen Door. Learn more about Katie and this recipe by checking out her accompanying post, and check out her Greatist bio on our About Page!
I often find myself craving something sweet and baked during the workday — and I give in to that craving pretty much 100 percent of the time, usually treating myself to a chocolate chip cookie or brownie. One alternative? Bringing in a snack that both satisfies the craving and lets me feel good about what I'm eating — like these fruit and nut bars! They're the best of both worlds, with added protein and omega-3s with the nuts and fiber from the dried fruit, light on added sugar and fat!
Fruit and Nut Bars
Recipe from Joy of Baking. Makes 16 squares.
What You'll Need:
⅓ cup flour
⅛ teaspoon baking soda ⅛ teaspoon baking powder ⅓ cup packed brown sugar 3 cups dried fruit (use a mix — I used apricots, dates, and cherries) 1 ½ cups dry roasted nuts (again, mix it up! My choice was pecans and almonds) 1 egg ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 8-by-8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, or coat with nonstick spray.
- Coarsely chop fruit and nuts until most pieces are relatively uniform in size. Set aside.
- Whisk flour, baking soda, and baking powder together in a large bowl until evenly combined. Add sugar, fruit, and nuts, and mix to coat all fruit and nuts with the flour mixture.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg with vanilla until frothy and thick, about 2 minutes.
- Stir egg into flour mixture until evenly mixed.
- Spread mixture into prepared pan, using a spatula to smooth out the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.

With the news that Matt Schaub is a Houston Texan no more, Battle Red Blog reacts to the news, how it will affect the Texans going forward, and Schaub's legacy in Houston.
Could the Texans' former franchise quarterback find new life in Oakland next year? One report says the Raiders could be interested in Matt Schaub's services once the Texans release him.
Gary Kubiak announced that Case Keenum, despite his performance yesterday in the Texans' loss to the Jaguars, will be the team's starting QB when the Patriots visit Houston on Sunday.
Ian Rapoport of NFL.com is reporting that embattled Texans' quarterback Matt Schaub's ankle is in considerably worse condition than some thought. Will it have any effect on Gary Kubiak's decision...
Gary Kubiak spoke with the media this afternoon. One of the biggest topics was the health of Matt Schaub. Here's what Kubiak had to say about his QB's health after yesterday's injury.
Tim from Battle Red Blog brings back an old feature to opine on what happened at Reliant Stadium today when the Texans lost to the Rams and examines what it means for the organization going forward.
Gary Kubiak announced that embattled QB Matt Schaub will remain the Texans' starter under center for Sunday's game against the Rams. See what Kubiak, Rick Dennison, and Frank Drebin had to say.
Why the Houston Texans and their fans should be more than worried about Matt Schaub and his play for the rest of the season.
On the morning after the disaster in San Francisco, how do Texans fans feel about Matt Schaub?
We've had a couple days to reflect on what happened at Reliant Stadium on Sunday when the Texans blew a double-digit lead to the Seahawks. How do Texans fans feel about Matt Schaub now?

A bit of insight into Paul Maclean and coaching as a whole.
The Senators have had the luxury of going into the past two seasons as underdogs. That's not the case this year.
The interconnected nature of NHL coaches and the outsiders who join the club make Mike Keenan the most influential coach in the NHL right now.
Who was in, and who was out
For the second straight year, Paul MacLean is a finalist for the Jack Adams Award as the league's best coach.
The NHL awards are often awarded to people who don't deserve them, so we decided to have our own awards. Nine members of EOTP voted on the awards, each person voting for three people for each...
We asked 3 questions of Peter Raaymakers of Senators blog Silver Seven to get his take on what makes Paul MacLean so good, when Spezza and Anderson might return to action, and how Sens fans are so...
Michael Stone made his return to the Coyotes roster after raising eyebrows in the 2011-12 season. More on that plus the recap of yesterday's NHL action and a Paul MacLean doppelganger in Ottawa.
Panthers well represented by Campbell and Tallon at annual evening of B-listers and bad jokes
Bryan Murray made a number of great moves last season. Which was his best?

Each Wednesday throughout the season we'll identify one player, coach or area of the team that is under the microscope. This week, RB Chester Taylor is the choice.
It may seem like an odd time to put Taylor, who is dealing with a sore knee, under the microscope, considering he's coming off his most productive game as a Bear — he rushed nine times for 33 yards and a touchdown against the Lions and also had five catches for 31 yards.
He's still gaining only 2.7 yards per carry, though, and he has just 19 catches through 12 games. He made at least 41 grabs in four of the past five seasons. After signing a contract worth $7 million guaranteed in the offseason, Taylor was expected to split carries with Matt Forté and give the Bears a dynamic 1-2 punch in the backfield.
While Taylor filled a major void by becoming the complement to Forté, he hasn't quite lived up to the offseason hype yet. It's true that the Bears' offensive line isn't the stoutest run-blocking unit, but Forté has managed to gain 4.2 yards per carry running behind the same front five.
Chicago's offense could use more of a boost from Taylor in the final quarter of the season, especially with the weather becoming more of a factor in games. With wind and snow threatening to impact Sunday's battle against New England, the Bears might have to rely even more on the two backs to keep the chains moving.
Taylor has drawn his share of detractors over the course of the season. Some observers seem to suggest that the 31-year-old hasn't been worth what the Bears are paying him, but if Taylor makes a couple big plays in the final four games and helps Chicago advance to the postseason, the team will be quite happy with its investment.

Whether Called an Australian Braid or ADD Knot, It Makes a Great Double-Line Connection
As I was milling about in the Texas sport-fisher Booby Trap last summer during a three-day billfish trip in the Gulf of Mexico, a beautiful knot in the crews' wind-on leader systems caught my attention. I asked Capt. Jeff Wilson about it.
"That's my ADD Knot," he chuckled. It actually wasn't a knot, Wilson later explained, but a double-line twist, more commonly known as an Australian braid or an Australian plait. "But you've got to have ADD to actually want to tie one of these things," he laughed.
Back on land after the trip, Wilson showed me how to tie this connection. No doubt, it's a very cool way to create a double line, offering excellent break strength, a good degree of stretch and a very low profile. And while it can be tricky to tie, the knot actually doesn't require attention deficit disorder! As Wilson began tying, I snapped some pics and shot a little video. Here's how he ties it:
1. Because this double-line connection is somewhat complex, Wilson prefers tying it in a controlled, off-the-water environment, such as the crew's workshop, pictured here. He'll often tie Bimini twists while at sea since they're quick and easy, but this is the knot he uses when time allows. First step is to allocate your desired length of double line by forming a loop.

Why Go Green?
Spend some time watching TV, reading the newspaper, or surfing the internet, and you will be exposed to some kind of "green" based message these days. Some of the message about topics involving green, sustainability, eco-friendly, etc. may even be almost subliminal to a point, but they are there. Case in point, one of my teenage boys recently had a school assignment to watch two hours of television on the topic of his choosing and keep track of the number and type of "green" based message observed during that time. Like many teenage boys, he opted for Monday night football. Thinking that might not be the best choice, I was very surprised to learn that he had seen no less than 14 commercials with messages tied to a green topic. The messages ranged from eco-friendly vehicles (which was the largest number of instances), to "eco-friendly" companies advertising their products. such as Simple Green cleaner.
So what is driving the movement towards green sustainability? Rather than go into a long and drawn out explanation, this excerpt from the Go Green Initiative sums it up in a single paragraph:
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the earth's population is growing exponentially. In 1800, the world population was recorded at just over 1 billion people; 2 billion by 1922; and over 6 billion by the year 2000. By 2050, it is estimated that the population will expand to over 9 billion people. That means that if the world's natural resources were evenly distributed, people in 2050 will only have 25% of the resources per capita that people in 1950 had. At the pace that the world is on, there simply won't be enough resources available for the future.
According to a 2011 study at MIT, nearly 52% of individual consumers worldwide have implemented at least 1 eco-friendly change in their lives. That same study reported that 72% of worldwide businesses had an interest in "going green", but less than 28% had implemented any green or eco-friendly changes.
Now that we've established the why for the green movement, let's talk about this site. The purpose of www.businessgoesgreen.com is to provide useful information focused on:
- Green resources for businesses
- Federal and state sustainability programs
- Reviews of eco-friendly business related products
- News and information targeting the green initiative

Each day, we are going to preview the night's NBA Playoffs action by looking at the adjustments that can be made by the losing team and showing what they can do to win.
With three road teams winning their second round match-up, it is a little surprising to see that the Boston Celtics were the only road team not to come away with the win. If the Celtics want to take home court advantage from the Miami Heat, they are going to have to make a few adjustments on both sides of the basketball.
Offense: More Pick And Pops For Kevin Garnett
With the way that the Miami Heat like to put pressure on the ballhandler when they come off of screens, something the Heat are susceptible to is the pick and pop. This is something that fits Kevin Garnett's game well, but for whatever reason, this set was only run twice for Garnett, who ended up missing both shots:
Yes, Garnett missed both of these shots but these are wide open looks and from a spot on the court where Garnett can knock it down. If the Celtics can come away with more of these shots and Garnett can knock them down, the Heat are going to be in some trouble.
Defense: Stay Focused
Maybe it was because the Celtics had an extended break, but the Celtics unusually lacked focus on the defensive, too often turning their head away from their man and paying too much attention to the basketball.
On this play, Mike Miller makes the catch on the wing, pump fakes, and drives to the middle of the court. Jeff Green, who is responsible for James Jones, gets caught ball-watching badly and has his back turned to his man, who cuts from the wing to the corner. Miller does a great job to hit Jones and Jones easily knocks down the three-point shot from the corner.
Here, coming out of a timeout, the Heat are running a set that ends up getting the ball to Dwyane Wade on the wing as two bigs set a screen off of the basketball for LeBron James. Both Celtic defenders responsible for help defense have their backs turned to the ball-watching LeBron. So when Wade penetrates, there is no help coming and he is able to finish at the rim while getting fouled.
I am willing to chalk this up as rust and a fluke because the Celtics' defense has been so good in the past and during the regular season. However, if the Celtics continue to struggle this could be a major problem for Boston.

We're talking about the new trend of using social media to not only document weight loss, but keep you accountable too.
Most of us post pictures online from what we did over the weekend to our vacations.
But for some, posting pictures keeps them motivated enough to drastically change their life.
It's hard to believe the then-and-now pictures of Crystal Moss are of the same person. Since 2004 she's been on a journey, shedding a total of 85 pounds, a journey motivated by health.
"I found out I was close to getting diabetes, so that was the pivotal moment when I realized it's time for a change," said Moss.
There are no pills, no gimmicks, and no tricks.
"It's a lifestyle, it's not just something that you can do for a month and expect to change overnight."
She works on it every day. Encouragement hasn't just come from her family members and friends though; it often comes from complete strangers.
Moss posts her before and after pictures on Instagram, where sometimes users she's never met before, comment on her progress
"You're transformation has me in awe today I start my own journey. And just got truly inspired by your page. Those comments also motivate me to continue going on my path..."
A quick search of tags on Instagram like "progress pic" and "clean eating" reveal thousands like her sharing healthy recipes, a good workout and incredible transformation photos.
Transformation photos are also shared on Facebook, like Peggy Bradford's
Bradford said, "When I went into the dressing room and I was the biggest size I ever was. I was crying in the dressing room and I'm not going to the next step."
Bradford has 4,700 friends to keep her motivated, the majority of whom she doesn't know. After shedding 75 pounds, she started the Facebook group "Steps to Good Health" to help others.
"I know there are a lot of people out there with the same struggles and I didn't want anyone to be going through the journey alone."
On the page, folks share daily accomplishments. Cheerleaders tell them to keep going. "You rock!" they write. "My group in particular is a group where you can go and no one will judge you"
"I would never be able to reach out to these amazing people without this tool," said Bradford.
"All you need is motivation and the drive to do it," said Moss.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
It's a strategy ripped straight out of the rival New England Patriots' playbook, and the Indianapolis Colts are hoping it leads to similar trophy-collecting results.
Just as the Patriots did in the spring of 2001 before winning the first of three Super Bowl titles, the Colts spent the opening day of free agency Tuesday looking past the big-ticket items and shopping in the economy bin.
The team that opened the day with an estimated $37 million of available salary cap space divided some of those riches among a flurry of five under-the-radar transactions — agreeing in principle to deals with Detroit Lions offensive tackle Gosder Cherilus, Arizona Cardinals cornerback Greg Toler, Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Erik Walden, Patriots offensive guard Donald Thomas and Atlanta Falcons defensive end Lawrence Sidbury, who the team sees as an outside linebacker.
"(Head coach) Chuck (Pagano) and I have a vision, and we want players who love the game, play snap-to-whistle and do all of the little things to achieve greatness," Grigson said in a team release. "Those traits are prevalent in all of the players we signed today. They love the game and play at a high level. They are team players, and their focus is to dominate the person across from them every snap. That showed in the film, and we agreed as a staff that these guys fit the mold of what we are trying to accomplish here."
The Colts were linked to bigger name players such as Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Jake Long and Detroit Lions defensive end Cliff Avril early in the day, but no agreements were announced with either player. Long doesn't appear to be in the team's plans, and there are conflicting reports about whether the team retains interest in Avril — who would be converted to outside linebacker in Indianapolis.
The Colts also appear to have chosen New York Jets safety Laron Landry over Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed who played for four seasons under Pagano in the NFL and was Indianapolis wide receiver Reggie Wayne's roommate at the University of Miami. Landry is scheduled to visit the team's practice facility today.
Reports also have linked the Colts to San Francisco 49ers nose tackle Ricky Jean-Francois who is scheduled to visit the Philadelphia Eagles today.
Indianapolis reportedly was in the bidding for Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Paul Kruger before he signed a five-year, $40 million deal with the Cleveland Browns. And the team was believed to have interest in offensive guards Andy Levitre and Louis Vasquez before they signed big-money contracts with the Tennessee Titans and Denver Broncos, respectively.
Among the players the Colts failed to reach new deals with before the 4 p.m. opening of free agency were cornerback Jerraud Powers, wide receiver Donnie Avery and offensive tackle Winston Justice. All three are expected to sign elsewhere.
Indianapolis did reach a deal late in the day with Darius Butler, bringing back the cornerback who had four interceptions after being signed in mid-season last year.
Though the team's haul lacked the big-name splash some expected, the Colts did add a pair of new protectors for quarterback Andrew Luck and address needs in the pass-rush game and the defensive secondary.
"At the end of the day, we wanted players who would mesh well with our current roster and with one another," Grigson said. "We feel these guys undoubtedly fit that style."

WINONA, Minn. (KTTC) -- A push for people to buy local products in Winona is full steam ahead with the semiannual Handmade Neighborhood.
As the holiday season approaches, you may choose to buy locally. If you live in Winona, Saturday was a one-stop shop for all the local products you can imagine.
"Handmade Neighborhood is providing an opportunity for local artists and artisans to market their items to Winona," said Kate Newsome, an organizer and participant in Handmade Neighborhood.
Handmade Neighborhood has now brought local artists together seven times, each time getting bigger and bigger, busier and busier.
"The very first was at the Village House Inn in Winona, and there were, I think, 9 to 11 vendors total," said Newsome. "We thought we would be buying stuff from one another and it turned out to be this huge success and we were really thrilled."
The range of products from Winona artists is significant, from soaps to decorations, to jewelry and knitted socks. And even those socks have a story.
"These are antique knitting machines. World War I era machines," said Mary Ochrymowycz, a Winona artisan. "I like to tell people that during the first World War when the soldiers had suffered from trench foot, the Red Cross gave these machines away to people if they would agree to make wool socks and donate them to the troops."
Hundreds walk through the door to take advantage of the local items, which can get tiring.
"Well, everyone needs a nap, and usually everyone is pretty excited," said Newsome. "Everyone we've talked to seems to be pretty happy with how it goes and wants to return most of the time."
It is all to the benefit of local business and the creative gifts Winona residents provide.
This is the last time Homemade Neighborhood gets together this year, but it will be back in the spring with even more gifts to offer.

The Huntsville Symphony Orchestra has graced its audience with music in the concert hall for decades.
But for nearly 15 years, the HSO has also brought music to eager students in the classroom.
"They are so excited and they are so in-tune with what's going on," said HSO violinist Christie Weber.
Weber is among several HSO members who teach free introductory violin lessons to third grade students in Huntsville City Schools and school systems in Decatur, Athens, Hartselle and Scottsboro.
Weber teaches violin to third graders at Rolling Hills Elementary School. The program was on its second lesson on Thursday, and students were attentive as ever.
"We start off with box violins and not the real thing for the first three lessons to teach them how to hold and care and do all that stuff and then we bring in the real ones," Weber said.
The lessons are taught in a modified "Suzuki method" that is described as a hand-on approach to learning the instrument. Students learn how to properly hold the instrument and eventually are taught how to play a song.
"There are lots of games, lots of songs, lots of really fun activities for the children," Weber said.
HSO is able to host the program thanks to the help of several benefactors within the community.
Eight sets of violins were purchased with donations funded by a long list of organizations, including the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra Guild, The Jane K. Lowe Charitable Foundation and the Jones Valley PTA among many others.
"With this program, we want to reach all students in north Alabama regardless of background, remove obstacles to learning, enhance Alabama state curriculum and provide opportunity for excellence," said HSO Director of Education Julie Noles.
Rolling Hills Elementary Principal Allen Malone has been involved with the program for years. He said the ten-lesson program may end within five weeks, but the impression on his students lasts a lifetime.
"It allows them to do something not only with their head or their knowledge, but also with their hands," Malone said.
Weber said she is amazed that students are able to play the violin after the ten-lesson course. Part of the joy, she said, is seeing students continue their interest in music."Even if they don't stay with the violin, a lot of times when they get to middle school and they pick up a band instrument; it's not such a foreign instrument," Weber said.
Students perform a recital for parents and teachers at the end of the program. Those wishing to continue music lessons also have the opportunity to study in the HSO's After School Program.

How to Survive the Next Tornado -- on a Budget
Few homes in tornado-stricken Moore, Okla., had basements where people could have taken shelter, because when a home is being built, a basement can be a pricey add-on.

A handful of cash-strapped states are getting aggressive about collecting every tax owed -- hiring more collectors, hounding scofflaws and exploiting corners of their tax laws that haven't been enforced in years -- all to avoid doing one painful thing: officially raising taxes.

What is wrong with this woman? And why do people continue to idolize her as this "queen of the freaks"? It is clearly feeding her horribly annoying god complex. In this clip from her upcoming HBO special, Gaga comes across as a desperate and needy mess who is psychotically obsessed with her "kingdom of fans."
The clip makes clear a substantial difference between Gaga and Madonna, who she's been ripping off left and right lately: Madonna would never allow herself to come across so weak and bizarrely god-fearing. There's something really regressive about her behaviour here, and about Gaga in general. While Gaga's all about this "we can't help it we're born this way" watered-down brand of self-acceptance, Madonna was always much more about a complex combination self-empowerment and self-entitlement. It's not about being born a certain "way," but about, well, expressing yourself.
Annapaula | June 22, 2011 8:55 AM
You said it the perfect way.
She is so desperate for attention. The name FAME MONSTER says it all. She stole all her ideas from a not famous artist from Germany and she still does because everyone thinks what she got from this girl is her own. She hasn't created one single thing herself. All her new outfits and ideas are a ripp-off. She is completely mental, i would say.
blastingbrains | April 26, 2011 12:19 PM
Hey Peter,
This is Stephen (met in Montreal). I have to say this much: I think Gaga is derivative. Too derivative for my tastes. The second clip displays that perfectly. The outfits, the dancing, the style, the voices, the songs... it's all too much. And the previous clip kinda makes my skin crawl. At first I was empathetic of her but when she launches into her prayer, I just cringed. Xania (in Trike with me) is a huge fan but I'm much more skeptical.
