That is beautiful. I love country French, and anything toile. I'm currently redoing a bedroom for my daughter, and was thinking that the painter's cloth I used would be the perfect fabric for the lining on a large fabric swag over her bed. Thanks for sharing. Now that I see it on a piece of furniture and it looks great, I know it will work.

Every sofa should be so fortunate to be rescued and returned to glory. Your work is beautiful. Very accomplished. I also found a forlorn sofa I called a "grande dame" and recently made her a new ball-gown in the guise of a white slip cover. I know your sofa and mind would share secrets, I look forward to your forthcoming projects. You are very talented. Virginia

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout was a unanimous selection as the American League Rookie of the Year award, which was announced Monday. In the vote of the the Baseball Writers' Association of America, Trout easily beat out two foreign-born players -- Rangers starter Yu Darvish and A's outfielder Yoenis Cespedes. Trout is also a contender for the AL MVP award, which will be announced on Thursday. Trout, who turned 21 in August, was called up three weeks into the season, and he finished second in the AL in batting average (.326), first in steals (49) and runs (129), third in on-base percentage (.399) and third in slugging (.564). He also had 30 homers and 83 RBIs.

Advanced Drupal Workshop: CSS, Photoshop, and Drupal development on the EXCO web site
Workshop date(s) & time(s):
Tuesday, February 1, 2011 - 19:00 - Tuesday, May 31, 2011 - 20:00
Do you have intermediate or advanced Drupal, CSS, or Photoshop skills? Want to help redesign and build the next generation of the EXCO web site? We will meet in person once or twice a month on an ongoing basis to make this happen, with remote contribution encouraged. A time and location will be set when we gain a critical membership for this workshop.
Seth Viebrock, the admin for excotc.org, will lead this workshop with the help of other EXCO facilitators who have years of experience using Drupal to meet (or not meet) very unique organizational needs. Seth is an experienced web designer/developer/programmer, currently doing Drupal design/dev full-time-remote for Artist Arena of NYC, building unique social networking sites for major recording artists such as Rihanna (rihannanow.com), Selena Gomez (selenagomez.com), and Justin Bieber (bieberfever.com).
For the developers, our site, excotc.org, is a unique, vibrant technology playground, vigorously harnessing technologies/modules such as "cloud computing" on AWS, the Aegir hosting platform, Organic Groups, Rules, Views, Panels, and an interesting assorment of lesser-known modules.
For the CSS and design folks, we are shooting for a total, custom redesign. Wireframes will be provided, but mockups will become available as we are able to create them. Seth will design mockups if proper Photoshop help is not available from within the group. A Zen starter theme will be used unless someone can convince me that a 960 grid layout is better.
And, for the activists in you all, we are envisioning a "distribution" of our web site that we can freely hand to others around the world who want to create a free college, so that technology is not a barrier to free education. This could be accomplished via spinning off new instances on AWS, the Domain Access module suite, Features, and/or a combination of the above.
Facilitator contact: you can contact Seth Viebrock via the contact form at the top of this web site.

International superstar aims to inspire
StarPhoenixPublished: Saturday, March 09, 2013
Oprah is coming to Saskatoon.
The international superstar talk-show host and philanthropist will be in the city April 14 at Credit Union Centre for An Evening With Oprah Winfrey.
The event is billed as an inspirational program during which Winfrey will share insights and stories from her own life to "illustrate ways attendees can take control of their lives to reach their full potential," according to a news release.
Oprah Winfrey is scheduled to be at Credit Union Centre on April 14.
Ap File
Winfrey, 59, has built a media empire around the ideas of personal empowerment, well-being and philanthropy. Her syndicated talk show was the highest rated program of its kind for years - the show aired for 25 years - and she can still create a frenzy for her interviews, demonstrated most recently with her sit-down with disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong.
The Saskatoon event will have Winfrey talking for an hour or so before sitting down for a Q & A with a guest moderator. If her other events in Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver earlier this year are any indication, tickets for the Saskatoon show will sell fast.
The three shows west of Saskatchewan sold out within minutes and left the city abuzz with anticipation for Winfrey's appearance.
On stage at those shows Winfrey talked about her childhood - she was born into poverty in Mississippi - to her rise as a generation's most well-known media mogul. Her pop-philosophy and headline-making interviews garnered a massive following through the 1990s to today.
She's arguably a bigger celebrity than her interview subjects, but says she remains dedicated to helping people improve their lives.
"My hope is that - with no singing or dancing - you will leave here with a little morsel; a level of consciousness that allows you to be better, to do better, to live better and to love better," Winfrey told a crowd of 16,000 in Vancouver in January.
"That's the ultimate question for all of us: why are you here?"
The Winfrey tour also stops in Ottawa, Hamilton and Montreal in April. The shows are produced by tinePublic Inc. The company has previously brought former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, Armstrong and Gene Simmons to Saskatoon.
Tickets go on sale Tuesday at 10 a.m. and range in price from $59 to $169 (plus taxes and fees). Tickets are available at www.ticketmaster. ca or by phoning 1-800-970-7328.

Infant and Toddler Development and Responsive Program Planning and PITC
The authors have both taught for PITC's national faculty. Their text embraces and captures the PITC language and philosophy and incorporates suggestions for use of the PITC videos throughout a course. You will find many quotes from Dr. Ron Lally in the book. The instructor's manual recommends specific PITC videos that instructor's could use when teaching a particular chapter. Ron Lally, creator and coordinator of PITC, wrote a strong recommendation for the textbook.
Both Sandy Petersen and Donna Wittmer are fellows of ZERO-THREE and have written articles for the ZERO to THREE journal. They have presented at national conferences numerous times. During their fellowship years, they studied with Berry Brazelton, Stanley Greenspan, Jeree Pawl, and Dolores Norton.
The authors have been on the faculty of the Colorado Department of Education's Infant and Toddler Expanding Quality Initiative (EQI) for approximately eight years. The model is a trainer of trainer's model. The faculty of the EQI has taught over 100 Colorado community teachers/coaches to use a 48 clock-hour course developed by the faculty to train 3000 infant/toddler caregivers to provide responsive and relationship-based care to infants and toddlers. Donna Wittmer, with Sandy Petersen and other faculty members, has created the RELATE—A Self-Reflection and Coaching Tool for Relationship-Based Practice that is used by the community teachers to coach the infant/toddler caregivers.

Low Dose CT Scan
Low Dose CT Scan Treatment
To produce high-quality scans at a lower radiation dose, low-dose CT or CAT scanning uses a variety of techniques, including:
- dose modulation, in which radiation dosage is continuously adjusted to the actual patient size at each location as the patient moves through the scanner
- "noise management" software to filter out unnecessary data
- the use of shields (this method depends on the type of CT scanner being used)
- lower peak voltage settings
A CT scan is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices), both horizontally and vertically, of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, organs, and blood vessels. CT scans are more detailed than standard x-rays.
In standard x-rays, a beam of energy is aimed at the body part being studied. A plate behind the body part captures the variations of the energy beam after it passes through skin, bone, muscle, and other tissue. While much information can be obtained from a regular x-ray, a lot of detail about internal organs and other structures is not available.
In computed tomography, the x-ray beam moves in a circle around the body. This allows many different views of the same organ or structure, and provides much greater detail. The x-ray information is sent to a computer that interprets the x-ray data and displays it in 2-dimensional form on a monitor. Newer technology and computer software makes three-dimensional (3-D) images possible.
CT scans may be done with or without contrast. "Contrast" refers to a substance taken by mouth or injected into an intravenous (IV) line that causes the particular organ or tissue under study to be seen more clearly. Contrast examinations may require you to fast for a certain period of time before the procedure. Your physician will notify you of this prior to the procedure.
CT scans may be performed to help diagnose tumors, investigate internal bleeding, or check for other internal injuries or damage.
You may want to ask your physician about the amount of radiation used during the CT procedure and the risks related to your particular situation. It is a good idea to keep a record of your past history of radiation exposure, such as previous CT scans and other types of x-rays, so that you can inform your physician. Risks associated with radiation exposure may be related to the cumulative number of x-ray examinations and/or treatments over a long period of time. If you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant, you should notify your doctor.
Advances in computed tomography technology include the following:
- High-resolution Computed Tomography - This type of CT scan uses very thin slices (less than one-tenth of an inch), which are effective in providing greater detail in certain conditions such as lung disease
- Helical or Spiral Computed Tomography - During this type of CT scan, both the patient and the x-ray beam move continuously, with the x-ray beam circling the patient. The images are obtained much more quickly than with standard CT scans. The resulting images have greater resolution and contrast, thus providing more detailed information
- Computed Tomographic Angiography (CTA) - Angiography (or arteriography) is an x-ray image of the blood vessels. A CT angiogram uses CT technology rather than standard x-rays or fluoroscopy to obtain images of blood vessels, for example, the coronary arteries of the heart
- Combined Computed Tomography and Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT) - The combination of computed tomography and positron emission tomography technologies into a single machine is referred to as PET/CT. PET/CT combines the ability of CT to provide detailed anatomy with the ability of PET to show cell function and metabolism to offer greater accuracy in the diagnosis and treatment of certain types of diseases, particularly cancer. PET/CT may also be used to evaluate epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and coronary artery disease
Studies show that most people will not experience an adverse reaction from iodinated contrast; however, you will need to let your physician know if you have ever had a reaction to any contrast dye, and/or any kidney problems. A reported seafood allergy is not considered to be a contraindication for iodinated contrast. If you have any medical conditions or recent illnesses, inform your physician. The effects of kidney disease and contrast agents have attracted increased attention over the last decade, as patients with kidney disease are more prone to kidney damage after contrast exposure. If you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant, you should notify your physician. It will be necessary for you to remain still and quiet during the procedure, which may last 5 to 10 minutes, on average.
How is a CT or CAT scan performed?
CT scans can be performed on an outpatient basis, unless they are part of a patient's inpatient care. Although each facility may have specific protocols in place, generally, CT scans follow this process:
- When the patient arrives for the CT scan, he/she will be asked to remove any clothing, jewelry, or other objects that may interfere with the scan
- If the patient will be having a procedure done with contrast, an intravenous (IV) line will be started in the hand or arm for injection of the contrast medication. For oral contrast, the patient will be given medication to swallow
- The patient will lie on a scan table that slides into a large, circular opening of the scanning machine
- The CT staff will be in another room where the scanner controls are located. However, the patient will be in constant sight of the staff through a window. Speakers inside the scanner will enable the staff to communicate with and hear the patient. The patient will have a call bell so that he/she can let the staff know if he/she has any problems during the procedure
- As the scanner begins to rotate around the patient, x-rays will pass through the body for short amounts of time
- The x-rays absorbed by the body's tissues will be detected by the scanner and transmitted to the computer
- The computer will transform the information into an image to be interpreted by the radiologist
- It is very important that the patient remain very still during the procedure. You may be asked to hold your breath at various times during the procedure
- The technologist will be watching the patient at all times and will be in constant communication

Remember the excitement revolved around the Phillies reportedly inking Cuban pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez?
That may have been premature.
According to MLB.com Phillies writer Todd Zolecki, "A source indicated to MLB.com on Tuesday that the two parties had hit a snag since word quickly spread July 26 the parties had agreed to a six-year, $48 million contract that included an $11 million option for 2019."
Gonzalez, 26, is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound right-hander.
According to Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan, the Phillies were believed to have outbid the Boston Red Sox after a dozen teams showed significant interest in the pitching sensation.
The Phillies have not announced any news regarding Gonzalez and Zolecki writes that when asked before Tuesday night's game if a deal with the righty might no longer happen, Ruben Amaro Jr. declined comment.
Gonzalez's varying array of pitches impressed scouts and executives who have watched him, according to multiple reports.
Stay tuned.

The Bravest Street in England: Cul-de-Sac Where 161 Men Joined Up for WWI - and 50 Gave Their Lives for Their Country
But by November 1918, some 161 residents of Chapel Street in Altrincham had stepped up to serve their country in the trenches of the Great War. Of those 29 were killed in action while a further 20 would succumb to their injuries on their return. Such was its sacrifice that King George V called Chapel Street the 'bravest little street in England' for having provided so many volunteers.

ALL SIGNS MOON ALERT: Until 6 p.m. today, we have the all clear to do business (and make important decisions. The Moon is in Capricorn.
IF SEPT. 14 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Actor Sam Neill (1947) shares your birthday. You want your life to run in an organized, smooth manner, which is why you strive to be efficient and productive. (You hate mess!) You are opinionated and observant. You like to be involved in important projects. Privately, you enjoy your creature comforts — good food, sex and luxurious sleep. This year, partnerships and close friendships will be your primary focus.
Updated: September 28, 2013 6:45PM
◆ARIES (March 21-April 19): Spontaneous impulses to have fun or explore social occasions, vacations might trigger intense disagreements with partners and close friends. Perhaps someone doesn't like your choice of fun, creative plans? Or they disagree with the way you're dealing with children?
◆TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Difficulties with co-workers might arise, perhaps because sudden demands from home affect your job. Actually, unexpected occurrences on the home front might also affect your health today. It could be anything. Be calm dealing with people at work. Stay chill.
◆GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Spontaneous short trips or impulsive, bright ideas are exciting. However, they might lead to disagreements with romantic partners or with other people regarding children or perhaps even vacation plans. To keep the peace, check with others before you do anything. Simple courtesy.
◆CANCER (June 21-July 22): Family disagreements might arise. They could relate to a breakdown of appliances or the need for repairs or the replacement of something at home. (This makes everyone frustrated.) Quite likely, this will generate a sudden hemorrhage to your cash funds. Ouch. (But some will suddenly generate money.
◆LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You feel energetic and impulsive. You might want to zig when others zag. Be patient with neighbors, siblings and relatives because you might be preoccupied or obsessed with something, which is why you want others to agree with you. Best to lighten up.
◆VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You feel compulsive or obsessed about financial issues. Perhaps it's related to how you earn your money or a strong desire to buy something? ("I have to have it!") Whatever the case, go slowly.
◆LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You might be obsessed about something or perhaps you just can't get a song out of your mind, like, "I shot the Sheriff." People you encounter in groups might have surprising suggestions. It looks like someone will rev your engines.
◆SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You will really go after what you want if researching something. No holds barred. You won't stop until you find what you're looking for. Your persistence could be triggered by surprise demands from people in authority — bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs or the police.
◆SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Travel plans might be suddenly changed. They certainly might be initiated unexpectedly. A sudden change of plans regarding publishing, the media, higher education or something to do with medicine and the law is also likely. ("I'm on it!")
◆CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be careful in discussions with authority figures because you might be too insistent or demanding — and this will go over like a lead balloon. Tread carefully. Meanwhile, something surprising regarding shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances might occur.
◆AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In discussions about philosophy, religion, politics or racial issues, you are heated and opinionated today. Be careful. Don't be bombastic or forceful. In fact, the best way to get others to listen to you is to whisper. Meanwhile, partners and close friends are full of surprises.
◆PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will be dogmatic about issues related to shared property, taxes, inheritances and anything you own jointly. You won't budge. Perhaps by standing your ground you will create a sudden change related to your job, your health or a project you're doing. Introduction of new technology is also likely.

In California, where it's legal to produce adult films, male actors are required to use condoms.
In Florida, where it's illegal to make XXX-rated films, they're not.
Yet a substantial amount of filming is done in Florida, says Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
Indeed, he claims the state, particularly Broward and Miami-Dade counties, is second only to California in the production of sexually explicit films.

We all know that fruits and vegetables are needed in a healthy diet, but picking them out in the produce section can sometimes be intimidating and it can take a while.
Since the 1800s, the Layman family has been in the produce business. Advertising signs that once hung on the family barn now adorn a room, where they are turning a new leaf on the old produce stand.
"To Your Door is an excellent opportunity for people to receive local, fresh produce, right delivered to their home or office," Stephanie Layman said.
It is called To Your Door Produce. Baskets end up on your porch filled to the brim with fruits and vegetables and the arrangements look as cool as the cucumbers.
"We specialize in trying to provide people with their local produce needs and bring to them a good variety of what is grown in this area, this area is amazing with the opportunities that we have for fresh fruits and vegetables, quite a variety," Stephanie said.
"We kind of love the excitement of getting something a little bit random at our door," Aaron Wall, second year subscriber, said.
If you are not quite as adventurous, there is no need to worry about something a little different showing up on your porch.
"All of our baskets are customized, so our customers will fill out a form and tell us their likes and their dislikes and when we go to pack their basket we will look on their form and make sure we are giving them the things that they like, so if you don't like zucchini, if you don't like onions or prefer to pass on the cabbage, we try to leave those items out and make sure that you don't get them and then we will give you extras of the things that you do," Stephanie said.
Fruits and vegetables come standard, but in the premium basket you might find something unexpected.
"This year is the first year that we have included the premium products, and the premium products include some extras like fresh baked bread, fresh granola, some zucchini relish, other items like that, jams, salsa, eggs," Stephanie said.
The local theme is continued with the premium baskets, and it is helping other local businesses get more exposure.
"I think it is kind of a new paradigm she has been sending out produce baskets, and suddenly she is going to be putting non-produce things in them," Martha Wilczynski said. "When we had lavender in bloom a month ago she came out and got some fresh bunches and put some of those in her baskets."
Premium baskets have quickly become the most popular option and while interest is growing, she wants to keep a close eye on the final product.
"I would love to see this grow as long as we grow at a pace that doesn't compromise the quality and the value and the satisfaction that our customers have because that is primary to us," Stephanie said.
The baskets range in price from $25 to $45.

Judge's ruling halts recall
Yes indeed it is time for some accountability. Mayor Littlefield may have escaped accountability this time but not without the public eye being turned on him. After denying them their voice and instead of just running again in the recall he has only enraged them further.
First he ignores us about not wanting a tax increase or storm water increase, then he ignores us about not wanting to be annexed, and now he ignores us when we want a new election!
We want justice, we want government transparency, we want true representation. You have denied us justice Ron, you have denied us open records and a copy of the budget, and you have denied us of anything close to true representation.
jfinnell and amos nailed it. He has wasted our tax dollars and denied basic city services! (Spending $900,000 on boat slips while cutting 300,000 from the library budget?!?) I don't see how you can try to justify spitting in the faces of your citizens and telling them to go eat cake! You can't defend yourself against that.
Mr. Littlefield, We followed all the rules that were given to us and you still denied us a voice. You changed the rules on us and bent them to suit yourself! You have condemned yourself in the eyes of the people. You act as if God is on your side and you are invincible.
**In fact I saw the scripture with my own eyes that your wife was passing around in the courtroom today. 1 Samuel 8:7 "And the LORD said to Samuel, "Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them." Outside the courtroom I asked what she meant by that, and she told me that God had given her this scripture today and that the representatives of our government are appointed by God and there is nothing we can do about it. I have a witness who stood next to me the whole time listening to this insanity.
I thought that our ELECTED officials were anything but appointed, or should we throw out the whole voting process altogether?!? Does our community realize what just happened here today? OUR RIGHTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY VIOLATED!
Shall we roll over and admit defeat? Hell no! If you want to be Mayor so bad that you act as if it is your DIVINE RIGHT then we are going to make some demands. In fact we will be going out into all the communities to record the demands of the citizens and will bring them to you, broadcast them at you, and not let up until they are met. Our main goal is to improve and bring change to our community and you can prove that to us by not fighting us every step of he way but by giving us a hand and giving us back our voice.

Police: Teacher pulls gun on teens
The funniest thing about this article is your responses.
--"I used to be a professional ghost hunter on a legit team. I must admit while just getting started cemeteries were first on the list. I then realized it was a waste of time; not to mention illegal. Shipley cemetery is a local haunt that is well know in the area and I can understand why the teens chose that location. A legitimate team would have gotten permission from the city as well as having documentation on hand to back it up. I am not saying the teens were right but what this gentleman should have done was call the police and let them handle it, and not get a power trip with an assault rifle."--greenj76
Hahaha, I agree with greenj76, these kids are complete amatuers! Any real ghost hunter would have done their homework and known that the scariest s**t out there are the crazy ass gun carrying neighbors. I would have been scared out of my bladder if I was looking for a ghost and found RAMBO instead.
--"Those kids could from been from a cult that digs up graves and that teacher was serving the best interest of the neighborhood by catching them red-handed them holding them until the police got there. The police are wrong for arresting that man and it will bite them."--Tax_Payer
LOL, a cult, a little superstitious are we? I guess you must be looking at the same website these kids were checking out to find their ghost story huh? "It will bite them"? Man you some voodoo worshiping crazy!
--"These teens were not breaking any law, except for maybe trespassing..."
The same could be said for 16-19 yr old mall-loungers or street-corner gangs.
Sounds like Teach laid a citizens' arrest on them. I would say he taught the miscreants are rather valuable lesson about messing around where and when they do not belong."--rolondo
"If it wasn't for those medling kids I would have gotten away with this!" You sound like an old fart trying to shake his fist at the Mystery Van. Quit Watching so much Scooby Doo and Mall Rats. I do applaud for a great use of the word miscreants however.
Recall effort rallying point for 3 groups
After beating the streets, 12 hours a day, getting burnt in the hot sun and surviving on pure dedication to justice, I can say that I am proud to live in Chattanooga. We have recalled our Mayor, and the people have spoken. We can go from being one of the most corrupt towns in the South to setting a precedence for community involvement and holding our public officials accountable. A great example of what passion for progress and dedication to the future generations looks like in action.
Already towns like Sale Creek are following our example and throwing off governments that don't represent them. My greatest hope is that we can energize the political atmosphere to a point where people once again, not just believe, but know that their voice matters. To know they have a say in politics.
Councilman upset over omitted e-mails
It is one thing to deny records requests from the public as in 3 documented occasions prior to this incident but then to deny them to a councilman and news sources such as this one proves that Chattanooga Organized for Action was right about their concerns of the lack of transparency in City government.
This completely validates our 'accusations' and the entire recall movement. This is daily making it a harder case for the mayor and it seems that especially with his lawsuit against the election commission and attacks on the public that signed the recall petition, we have handed him a shovel and he keeps digging himself into a deeper and deeper hole. When the recall goes through and he tries to run again he will be limping through his campaign to win the election.

On Nov. 29, 2013, after an eight-year battle with type 1 diabetes, Brittany Victoria Anderson fell into a diabetic coma and passed away in her Sonoma home.
She is survived by her beloved parents, Sherry and William Anderson; her siblings, Rochelle Anderson Clem, Hank Anderson; and her half-siblings, Claire Chilcott and Alan Pooley.
Brittany loved her family more than anything on this earth. She will be dearly missed by her maternal grandparents, John and Leatha Murphy, and her paternal grandmother, Marion Wolsey.
Brittany had a large extended family and was very close to each one of her aunts and uncles, including Johnn Murphy and Jannice Murphy, Shelby Radovich, Jeff Murphy, Kyle Bowman, Jeannie Anderson, Tracey and Gary Middleton, and Cliff and Wendy Pooley. She recently had the time of her life visiting her uncles, Jeff, Kyle and Johnn, in New Orleans.
She is also survived by many cousins, including Zakk Murphy, of Sonoma. Brittany was also very proud to be an aunt and was so happy when her nephews, Cullen and Jackson Clem, were born. She visited her sister, Rochelle, in Florida last year and was simply overjoyed to be an auntie.
She was preceded in death by her biological father, Alan Pooley; and her paternal grandparents, Dr. George and Elizabeth Anderson; and Marion and Wal Wolsey.
Brittany led a full and exciting life. She loved to be the center of attention, and she usually was. As a child, she was a cheerleader for Sonoma Pop Warner Football, and the vice president of the fifth-grade class at Sassarini Elementary School. She was always popular amongst her peers and involved in many extracurricular activities throughout middle and high school.
She graduated from Sonoma Valley High School in 2004, where she was an athlete and captain of the varsity volleyball team. She was also nominated for homecoming queen, which wasn't surprising; as everyone loved her and she was a friend to anyone she met.
After she graduated high school, she attended Santa Rosa Junior College. She worked as an executive assistant at the corporate offices for Nelson Staffing in Sonoma until the company underwent downsizing in 2012. She was most recently employed at El Dorado Kitchen and had taken an interest in event planning. She helped to plan many parties and other events throughout Sonoma Valley in the past several years.
Brittany was a Sonoma native and loved her community. She raised money and donated time for several local organizations and was the assistant varsity volleyball coach at Sonoma Valley High School for the past several years. Because of her involvement in the community, she was asked the join the board of directors for the Sonoma Valley Mentoring Alliance in 2012, an accomplishment she was very proud of and a cause she felt passionately about.
Brittany loved live music and had so much fun watching her brother Hank, her father Andy, her Uncle Bon Bon, and her cousin Zakk, play at venues all over the Bay Area. She was also an avid sports fan and loved the San Francisco 49ers and the Giants, especially pitcher Tim Lincecum.
She had a fantastic sense of humor and a dry wit. She was the best friend you could ever ask for and fiercely loyal. She will be deeply missed by her two best friends, Billie Briones and Laurel Moeslein.
While she left us far too soon, her tremendous spirit has given us beautiful memories for a lifetime. She was truly special and will be missed by everyone who knew her.
A celebration of life service for Brittany Anderson will be held at St. Leo's Catholic Church at 601 W. Agua Caliente Road in Sonoma, on Friday, Dec. 6, 2013, at 4 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, a donation account has been created to support Brittany's memory and diabetes research. The account can be accessed online at the address: gofundme.com/5jg074.
Those wanting to give her in memory are also encouraged to consider Pets Lifeline in Sonoma.

Sep 29, 2014 - Daly Waters
Our navigation this morning said turn left in 540klms. It's a big country. We called into Daly waters. It's a very small place but the pub and caravan park is iconic. There are all sorts of things hanging around plus a bush stage and a bower to sit under. We decided to stay for their beef and barra dinner and stay overnight. The pool is cold and very refreshing. The beef and barra dinner was great. Accompanied with salad. This has been a lovely stay here.Jump to full entry

Jun 26, 2014 - Tennant Creek to Daly Waters
A long drive today of 425 km in quite blustery conditions but most of the time the wind was in the right direction. It's not quite shorts weather but definitely short sleeves & sandals. I found lots of places to see so with all the stops I didn't arrive here until about 3:30. I was going to stop at Renner Springs but it was only noon, so too early. The next possible stop was Elliott which is about halfway between Tennant Creek & Mataranka, but the town has really deteriorated since I was through there in 2009. I was breath-tested on my way...Jump to full entry

Jan 4, 2014 - New Years Eve at the Daly Waters Pub
We made it to the Daly Waters Pub for New Years Eve. We did a bit of photo swapping and then started our glam up for the party. The theme was Fluro/neon. We all looked pretty spectacular. We had a nice meal and a fun night. We mainly played cards while the young ones partied on. At midnight there was a fantastic fireworks display. There were people there from Darwin, Katherine and Elliot. They certainly travel a long way for a party, but not as long as us!Jump to full entry

Dec 14 Saturday Today we left Litchfield and travelled to Adelaide River, where we decided to take the scenic route, and visit Robin Falls, this was a good camping area, no problems getting the van in. We completed the 300 meter?? walk to the Falls but we didn't do the last little climb over the rocks to go into the pool even though it looked inviting. After returning to the van and continuing on this narrow, roughish sealed rough, we hit Stuart Hwy at Hayes Creek Roadhouse and heading into Katherine, did a bit of a shop and checked with...Jump to full entry

We made our way back to Katherine in no time and went to Woolies to stock up on supplies for the next few days. I had to go to the toilet while we were there and I couldn't believe I had to pay $1 to enter the toilets! I thought the guy was joking! We were also hoping to grab a couple of bottles of scotch but discovered the bottle shops don't open til 2pm, so we jumped back in the car and headed east. I'd heard a few good things about the Mataranka thermal swimming holes so I was excited to go there and have a swim. We went to the first one...Jump to full entry

06/09, 07/09,08/09 Stayed at Daly Waters overnight but we stayed at the Hi-Way Inn caravan park instead as we thought being Friday night it will get rowdy at the pub. The management gave us a voucher for a free beer and wine at sundown, which was very nice we also decided to stay for tea and since we can't catch Barra, we decided to order it instead and it was beautiful. In the afternoon we called over at the iconic Daly Waters pub to have a beer and check it out. It is everything people have been saying about it. Quirky, unusual and a must...Jump to full entry

Aug 22, 2013 - Darwin Disaster
We arrived in Darwin from Kakadu with a couple of stops along the way at West Aligator River (I think) and a servo that had a few animals. The buffalo sucked my fingers like a poddy calf. Our accommodation left a lot to be desired. We stayed on Mitchell Street the nightlife hot spot, above a nightclub that played dus dus music till all hours, until it ended in a fight. We went on a double decker bus tour around to see the sights. We visited the Defence of Darwin Military museum. It was amazing with interactive displays. So 22nd century....Jump to full entry

Aug 16, 2013 - Daly Waters - Oh what a night!
We said Goodbye to Aleysha in Tennant Creek and we were on the road again heading for Daly Waters. The Daly Waters pub is the oldest in the NT. It is a tin shack in the middle of nowhere, where hundreds of travellers come together every day - campers and vanies and cabin dwellers like us come from miles around to see this iconic tin shack. Each night they cook barra and beef on the Barbie, the best I've had in a long while. The crowd are entertained by musicians and comedians, certainly not what I was expecting. If you are after doudy...Jump to full entry

(Ben) Daly Waters is not far up the highway from Newcastle Waters and so even after spending an hour looking around the ghost town of Newcastle Waters, we still got into Daly Waters before midday. Apart from the pub, with attached caravan park, there really isn't much current action happening in Daly Waters. Like a lot of these places it has some interesting and unusual (white) history. Daly Waters seems very proud of the fact that it was Australia's first international airport - it was a re-fuelling stop for QANTAS international flights...Jump to full entry

Back in a Telstra reception area! After we left the Barkly Homestead, it was down the road to "Threeways", turned right. It was along here that we ran into the verge mowing crew. A couple of big green tractors (John Deere) with slashers going over the road verges. Even had 2 blokes with whipper snippers going around the white posts. Only about 3,000 or more kms. God knows how many white posts. Hey Bruce, don't let them whinge about going around the post and ropes along the cart paths. Tell 'em you'll get them a job out here!

Artist Heather Shaw turned inconvenient fixtures like her cast-iron radiators into playful features. This tongue-in-cheek installation embraces the rads function. Each year, Heather buys bundles of greenery, then creates simple coniferous arrangements and tablescapes which pop in her primarily white space.

Can be applied loosely to any part of speech for a meaning of reasons. Derived from "crunk", it can mean something is "cool" or "hip" or just plain enjoyable. It can also pertain to sexual intercouse, usually nasty and degrading to women, focusing on the male ejaculation at the end of intercourse. It can also mean to beat someone's ass or vandalize something of theirs.
