One of Michelangelo's most brilliant works is the Medici Crypt in the Florentine Church of San Lorenzo. It is easy to be overwhelmed by the mass of brilliant names buried there - roughly fifty members of the world's most influential family lay entombed in marble sepulchers - and, even more easy to pass over some of the lesser known members of the family. To the average tourist with only a minimal grasp of history, this may be excusable. But what is not excusable is losing out on the opportunity to pay homage to a little known Medici whose name isn't as famous as Cosimo de Medici or Lorenzo il Magnifico, but whose legacy and contributions to the city of Florence, the Tuscan people, and indeed the world are just as momentous.
The Tomb and Monument of Anna Maria Luisa de Medici, Florence.
Anna Maria Luisa de Medici was born on August 11th, 1667 to Grand Duke Cosimo III de Medici, the ruler of Tuscany, and his royal-born French wife Marguerite d'Orleans de Bourbon, granddaughter of King Henri IV of France. Her childhood was dominated by the almost incessant quarreling between her parents. Marguerite hated anything Italian and especially the Medici Family, despite the fact that her grandmother was a Medici herself. Several times she had attempted to induce an abortion by means of riding in order to kill Anna Maria Luisa, but to no avail. Stressed and harried, Cosimo III agreed to a legal separation in 1674, and Anna Maria's mother abandoned her and her brothers for the Convent of Montmartre in France. She was a girl of just seven.
Worn down by the disastrous state of affairs in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Cosimo III had little choice but to elicit the help of his mother Vittoria della Rovere, who would end up raising his young children.
Worn down by the disastrous state of affairs in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Cosimo III had little choice but to elicit the help of his mother Vittoria della Rovere, who would end up raising his young children.
In time, Anna Maria grew up to be a beautiful young woman, and one of the most eligible brides on the European continent. It was proposed that she be wed to Dauphin Louis de Bourbon of France, the son of King Louis XIV; however, Cosimo III did not like this idea, and eventually rejected it. She was then proposed as a match for King Peter II Braganza of Portugal; but Peter, fearing that Anna Maria had inherited her mother's flippant temperament, declined the offer.
Anna Maria as the Grand Princess of Tuscany
After a few more rejections, Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I suggested Elector Palatine Johann Wilhelm II von Wittelsbach. Finally seeing a groom worthy of his beloved daughter, Cosimo III consented to the match, and the pair were wed by proxy in 1691. A few days later, she and her retinue set out, arriving eventually in Dusseldorf, where the Elector Palatine's court resided.
She soon became pregnant, but miscarried. Johann Wilhelm had at some point contracted syphilis, and this is generally accepted as the reason for the barrenness that would plague Anna Maria all her life. Despite the lack of issue, the couple shared a harmonious marriage. In keeping with Medici support for the arts and scholarship, Anna Maria went about transforming Dusseldorf from a provincial city to an artistic capital of Europe. French playwrights and Italian mathematicians drew many travelers, from Portugal to Russia.

Cosimo III was impressed with the brilliance of his daughter's court. Due to the fact that his brother and two sons lacked male issue, Cosimo altered Tuscan Succession Laws to allow for a female succession should the male-line succession fail. Following the failure of Anna Maria Luisa to inherit, for whatever reason, the succession would then fall to the Medici-Ottajano Branch, or the Medici of Caprara and Verona, as per the normative laws of succession in Tuscany, as well as Vatican Law. The Tuscan Senate wholeheartedly approved the plan.
Anna Maria in hunting dress
In 1713, Cosimo's eldest child Grand Prince Ferdinando died, making the issue of the Tuscan succession that much more urgent. To complicate issues, Elisabeth Farnese, heiress of Parma and Queen of Spain, laid claim to Tuscany as a descendant of Margherita de Medici. Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI repeatedly changed his stance on the issue, but eventually conceded that the succession proposed by both Cosimo and the Tuscan people was to be accepted. In 1716, Elector Palatine Johann Wilhelm II died, and Anna Maria Luisa de Medici, now the Dowager Electress, returned to Florence in mourning.
The Dowager Electress in mourning
Two years later, in 1718, France, England, and the Dutch Republic selected Don Charles of Spain, the son of Elisabeth Farnese, as the heir and successor of Grand Duke Cosimo III de Medici. Anna Maria Luisa, the heir by both Tuscan Law and Vatican Law, was not even consulted, and Grand Duke Cosimo III was reduced to the role of a spectator in matters of the fate of his family, wealth, and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. No matter how much he, as the Sovereign Ruler of Tuscany, or the Tuscan people protested against foreign interventions in local matters, the negotiations as to his own family's fate continued without even the slightest consultation given to him.

In the midst of this abuse of proper decorum, Anna Maria Luisa's mother Marguerite died, and her wealth was appropriated by the European Powers and given to her distant relative the Princess of Epinoy rather than her children, as had been stipulated by both her will and a contract signed in 1674. This was a deliberate attempt to starve the Medici of funds and harry them into compliance. Cosimo was not intimidated, and he was determined to see his cherished daughter ascend the throne should she outlive her brother Gian Gastone. Grand Duke Cosimo III issued a final proclamation that Anna Maria Luisa should succeed her brother unhindered and that the Grand Duchy of Tuscany should remain independent; however, instead of giving it the slightest attention, it was completely ignored by Europe, a snub to a ruler who held the title of Grand Duke. Cosimo III died unsure and nervous a few days later.
Grand Duke Gian Gastone ascended the throne. Deeply depressed and melancholic, he and his wife shared a mutual loathing, and never had any children. His relationship with his sister was complicated, and she was resented by him for her role in negotiating his marriage on behalf of their father some years before. Nevertheless, she attempted to improve his public image by hosting parties and fetes; his ridiculous behavior drove courtiers away.
In 1736, as the War of Polish Succession raged on, Don Carlos of Spain was banished from the Grand Duchy, and Francis III of Lorraine was made the usurping heir in his stead. The Spanish troops who had held Tuscany by force were withdrawn, and were replaced by a large occupying force of Austrian troops.
In 1737, Grand Duke Gian Gastone died. The envoy of Francis III of Lorraine offered Anna Maria Luisa a nominal regency until his master could arrive; seeing that this was beneath the dignity of the last surviving member of the main line of the greatest Royal House that history had ever seen, she laughed at the proposal and politely declined.
She knew that Austria would be after both her family's wealth and vast collection of art. She feared that it would be taken from the city that she loved so dearly, bartered off, and hung in villas and palaces from Sagres to St. Petersburg. So she engineered a plan that is perhaps her most lasting contribution to the city of Florence and the world, an act that she is still honored for when people congregate at her tomb annually to say a Mass for the repose of her soul - She wrote a will. And in that will, she legally protected the Medici artwork from the greedy hands of the men who surrounded her, waiting eagerly for her to die so they could all get a piece of the Medici legacy. In what is now known as the Patto di Famiglia, or Family Pact, she willed all her wealth and property to the Tuscan State, provided that not even a jewel-encrusted paper weight be removed from the city of Florence.
Francis III of Lorraine may have been greedy and unscrupulous, but he was not stupid. He knew better than to break the agreement upon her death, as the Florentine princess was much beloved throughout both Italy and the entire world. The people had already proved themselves extremely antagonistic to Austrian occupation; several sporadic rebellions in favor of the Medici had to be violently suppressed, earning him even more of the enmity of the Tuscan people before he had even begun to reign. He didn't dare removed anything from the city.
Anna Maria Luisa dazzles in a Spanish gown
Anna Maria Luisa finished her days as a private citizen, stripped of her wealth, titles and property, and banished to her own wing of the palace which her family had refurbished, embellished, expanded, and in which she had been raised. Perhaps feeling guilty for his treatment of her (although not guilty enough to rectify the situation), Francis III instructed his regent to invite her to his parties in the other wing of the Palazzo Pitti. However, the lustful, riotous, crude parties which the Prince de Craon hosted in her beloved childhood home proved to much for her, and deeply offended her devoutly Catholic sensibilities. She must have wondered with a touch of anger at how the world could be so strange at times; that the last days of the Last Medici Grand Princess, heiress to a family legacy that included Popes and Princes, Artists and Cardinals, a family which had almost singlehandedly engineered the Renaissance, would be spent enduring a lascivious man who drunkenly groped women in the childhood home where she once played. That the world could treat her family thus, after how well her family had treated the world.
Anna Maria in her old age
At least she did not allow her pain to cloud her judgment; her clear thinking at the time of the Family Pact not only ensured that her family legacy had been saved, but actually saved the City of Florence from receding into the background, as had happened to Rome following numerous sacks. Thanks to her, Florence today remains an incredibly wealthy city, it's tourism industry attracting people from both near and far who long to see the grandeur of the Medici and the works of priceless art which they commissioned and financed.
The Dowager Electress as the undisputed First Lady of Florence
Her last days were spent overseeing the construction of an unfinished Cathedral started by her great-great grandfather Grand Duke Ferdinando I de Medici. The day of her death was unusual; hurricanes and storms raged throughout the city, as if to show God's displeasure with the treatment of such a dignified woman. A devout Catholic to the end, her funeral was attended by thousands of mourners, and the people of Florence were struck by the loss of such a deeply beloved woman. She had protected and sheltered them as much as she was able to during two occupations, and upon her death had ensured the city of its lifeblood. She alone provisioned that it's libraries remained open, it's museums remained full, and it's schools remained funded, providing opportunities to the common man that were rare elsewhere in Europe.
Her successors in the role of First Lady of Florence never did garner nearly as much public support as she. Some of the Habsburg-Lorraine rulers loathed by the people. Habsburg-Lorraine had begun occupying other small-northern Italian states in a manner similar to Tuscany, such as the usurpation of Mantua upon the death of Ferdinando Carlo Gonzaga; collectively, the Austrian usurpers and their consorts earned the scorn of Italy, some for their negligence and cruelty, some for their outrageous behavior, such as Maria Amalia of Austria, Duchess Consort of Parma, who was known for cross-dressing as a man and engaging in orgies with her guards.
But for the Tuscan people, Anna Maria remains somewhat of a folk legend. As even Church Law at the time was unable to prevent the usurpation by Austria and ensure the establishment of the Branch of Medici-Ottajano, she was the last of the Medici; her death was a cultural blow for Tuscany, as, in their eyes, a grand epoch of art, music, and scholarship had died and lay entombed with her in the Cathedral of San Lorenzo.

varied and flexible
Improving your relationship to support the best in each person is the work of couple's therapy with me. I use Drs. John & Julie Gottman's Gottman Couples Therapy to guide the work we do together to improve your relationship with each other. We learn the most about ourselves when we are in a relationship with others. Human beings are hardwired to connect and we develop our patterns of interaction from a very early age. My practice also includes insights which further draw awareness to our attachment styles and how we learned to connect with others. We find ways of helping you sort out patterns, troubles, and improvements that you can make in your relationship to unlock the potential you have for living in a fulfilling, supportive, safe relationship that you can return to day after day.
I fully believe that the Gottman focus on building the skills of friendship, empathy, and connections between couples provides the foundation for a loving relationship and helps insulate that relationship from the damage that conflict can inflict on a couple. All relationships have challenges; in fact, more than two-thirds of all problems a couple faces are perpetual problems, reoccurring over time. Learning skills that help a couple have a different kind of conversation about these existing differences in a new way, a more open way, makes the relationship feel safer and less threatened by the inevitable challenges of living a life together. Being able to face the challenges together brings us into greater harmony and offers comfort in our lives. I work collaboratively with couples to improve how they communicate with each other and we make the work as rewarding as it can be, together.

Title : An Analysis of Transient Flow in a Duct of Varying Cross Section.
Descriptive Note : Technical rept. Jun 73-Feb 74,
Corporate Author : AIR FORCE AERO PROPULSION LAB WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OHIO
Personal Author(s) : Mach,Kervyn D.
Report Date : JUN 1974
Pagination or Media Count : 72
Abstract : The transient flow in a bellmouth inlet is analyzed using a finite difference approximation to the one-dimensional equations of motion for a perfect gas. A brief derivation of the equations and a description of the method of solution are presented. The feasibility of measuring airflow in the bellmouth is evaluated for step and periodic disturbances. Plots of gain and phase angle of the airflow response versus driving frequency, airflow variation with time, and pressure variation with time and length are presented for a typical bellmouth. A listing of the computer program and instructions for its use are also presented. (Author)

Well I started seriously working out with the Bum Bum program. I'll keep everyone posted and we will see what happens to a butt after being pregnant with twins and being over 40.
I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to put my picture up here but we shall see.
My butt is feeling tighter like the muscles are working, so I know something is going on.
Till later.

At Stone the Crows - Wagga Wagga
Day 29, 30,
Lockhart to Wagga Wagga for "Stone The Crows Festival"
Day 29
Tuesday April 11
We left Lockhart at 8-40 and drove to Wagga Wagga arriving there just before 10.00 am. It took a while to be directed to our campsite amongst to other 490 caravans and motor homes.
After the initial setting up we went to the Crows Central to Register, pick up our information pack and also register for the games over the next week.
We talked George Mitchell into joining our team for all three games:- Petanque, Disc Bowls and Ladder Golf.
We went to a caravan spares shop not too far from the campground and I purchased some new chocks for the wheels which brings me to an incident which happened upon leaving Lockhart. We had put plastic chocks under our wheels and I failed to remove them prior to moving the van. Consequently when the van ran over one it was smashed. John says I have to mention it because everything else that has happened on the trip has been his problem.
Back to The Stone The Crows.-
We caught up with other members of our caravan club at Stone The Crows (STC); Pieter and Robin Van Dyk Glenn and Yvonne Watson and Tom and Kath McManus.
Hiroe went to the toilet in the dark and I was a bit concerned that she hadn't reappeared for quite a while = I thought she might be doing a Wendy, however just as I was going to organise a search party she came back.
We all attended tonights show in the Central Marquee (With 990 other folk). It was a great performance by ventriloquist; Darren Carr who kept us entertained for 105 minutes.
Ventriloquist Comedian Darren Carr
At the tender age of eight, Darren Carr started playing with dolls and talking to himself. Much to his parents' relief, these peculiar traits were not the result of " too much chlorine in the gene pool ", but his interest in the art of ventriloquism.
Nowadays, Darren is now recognized as "Australia 's Leading Ventriloquist" performing with his pint-sized look-alike partner, "Darrell", and a cast of hilarious characters, in a comedy filled show which has to be seen to be believed.
Day 30
Wednesday April 12
We slept in a little bit this morning after last nights wonderful show.
One of our gas bottles has run out so this morning we made a quick trip just down the road and had it refillied.
Linda has had a bad night - something she ate didn't agree with her so she stayed in bed most of the day.
I started work on assembling the bird feeder I purchased in the Daddy Day Care Centre. I will finish it when I get home as completed it is quite large.
George took us into Wagga Wagga City to do a little shopping before returning to the vans for afternoon tea.
Tonights show in the Marquee was a concert by Mike Mclennan on guitar and singing. He wasn't quite as entertaining as Darren carr.
Day 31
Thursday April 13
This morning we all went to a concert by Marcus Holden who is a violinist as well as a guitarist and banjo player. He was extremely entertaing as he has many styles including Bluegrass, Irish, Folk, and classical.
We then played in the Social Disc Bowls competition - our team included George, Hiroe and Me. We lost during the first round which must have been a mistake by the scorer, haha.
In the afternoon we filled the caravan water tanks then went to town to refuel the car and do a little grocery shopping.
We attended the evening entertainment in the marquee tonight.
What a wonderful show which began with performances by the Wagga City Rugby Male Choir. They brought the house (marquee) down to standing ovations and many encores such that the programme for the night eventually ran 45 minutes over time but who cared. Have a look at:- http://www.wcrmc.com.au/
Other wonderful acts were performed by Marcus Holden:- http://www.fiddlersfestival.com/marcusholden/
Jackie Kerin:- http://www.jackiekerin.com.au/
Sarah Depasquale:- http://www.stonethecrows.com.au/2017/crow-chronicle-5.17.html
Greg North :- http://www.gregorynorth.com.au/Listen.html
Greg was absolutely amazing and had us all in stitches.
Rob Nichols and Jim Haynes and others. What a night.
Day 32
Friday April 14
Today was Ladder Golf day and George, Hiroe and I were one of 70 teams in the knockout tournament.
We went right through to the Grand Final and would you believe - we won. Some of the games we only just one when Hiroe pulled us through.
We had some wonderful support from other members of our club during the semi finals and grand final. Thanks guys.
Here is a short video which includes Glen and pommy Bob playing Ladder Golf
In the afternoon we went to a presentation by Rod Hannifey on sharing the rod with trucks. We have seen and heard him before and it's excellent.
Took a photo of Hiroe and George with Rods truck
In the evening entertainment this night we were presented with our trophys.
Day 33
Saturday April 15
This morning George, Pommy Bob & Linda and Hiroe and I caught the almost free bus from Stone The Crows into central Wagga Wagga. We did a little shopping and had lunch in a Mall then returned to the vans. I the evening there was a performance by a female singer (Lisa Crouch) who some liked and others not so. And that's about it for the day apart from Glen and Yvonne going to Narander to see one of Yvonne's friends and the door handle breaking on our caravan which required some temporary re-modelling.
Day 34
Sunday April 16
This morning after morning tea Glen & Yvonne with Tom and Cath in their car and us in ours, drove to Junee. This is an old Railway Town and even though the population is quite small, the Railway Station is fairly substantial.
There are a few really big buildings in town not least of which is a Hotel built in 1897.
We all went to the chocolate and licorice factory where Glen found some old cars which he just had to inspect.
We then took a back road to return to Wagga Wagga via the village of Wantabadgery and Oula. At Wantabadgery there is a horse and rider statue of a Policeman (Edward Mostyn Webb-Bowen) who was shot by bushrangers in 1879.
We finally arrived back in Wagga Wagga for a late lunch then back to the van.
This evenings entertainment was provided by members of the Stone The Crows participants in the form of a Talent Quest. The show started with a performance by the Choir which had just 5 hours together to practice their 3 songs and one of the members of the Choir was a member of our club; Chris Meridith.
Pommy Bob entered the competition in the Ukulele and Instrumental section and was at the end of the show awarded 1st prize. Well Done Mate.
We were going to celebrate with George Bob and Linda however Pommy and Bob had other ideas and went into their van so George and us have a few ports together before going to be after another good day.
John and Wendy Peter and Olwyn together with Ron and Dot are leaving us today to head home.
Day 35
Monday April 17
We all had a go at Stoning The Crows. Chris was the best of our lot but even so she was eliminated eventually.
We have all packed up all the outside gear ready for an early start tomorrow morning.
The entertainment tonight was provide4d by Jamie Way as P-Elvis and we all enjoyed it very much
George, Glen & Yvonne, Doug & Chris, Tome & Kath are all heading to the Snowy area with Pieter & Robin for about 10 days.
Day 36
Tuesday April 18
This morning with Pommy Bob we left for home at 7.15. An early start for us.
We had morning tea at The Dog on The Tucker Box. While we were there an interesting old Ford car with a home made little caravan attached.
We then drove on to Bungendore for lunch.
Continuing on we arrived just outside of Nerriga and the big climb soon after the town. Pommy Bobs cars transmission overheated and he lost all power. A truck and other vehicles had to go past us on the wrong side of the road. It was while we were waiting for things to cool down that I noticed that a rather large groove had been carved in one of the tyres on our caravan, On inspection we found that one of the bolts holding the spring to the hanger had come loose and was sticking out about 10cm. We had to take the wheel off, then using 3 jacks try to line up holes with the bolt. We managed to get the bolt tightened about half way and hope that it held till be got home.
Another exciting end to a trip.
We arrived home at about 4.00 pm and unpacked the van.
A good 5 weeks away - The garden has overgrown but wont take too long to get it back in order.

Seems like a very nice facility, and within a short driving distance. There are a handful of classes that are included in the membership fees. Since I have been paying $5 a Zumba class twice a week - I will actually be getting off cheaper with a gym membership. I signed a contract for a 3 year term, now that is commitment. It was the way to get the best price. For this month Anytime Fitness has $0 enrollment fees....which saves $100. My monthly membership is $35 plus taxes...so $37 and some change. Of course there are other fees....$59 for processing fees and another fee for the key (small swipe pass)to get in after hours. When I was done I had to pay $138.45 before walking out, of course that also includes the first months fees. And every March there is a $25 fee that will help buy new equipment. But in my opinion it is worth it for 24 hour access to the gym. Plus I will get an equipment orientation and a full fitness consultation next week that is also included in the gym membership...guess that is what the processing fee may be used for? As far as safety, there are cameras all over the gym. If more then one person enters the gym when a key is swiped there is a beep and I was told they are alerted to go look at the video the next day. So no sneaking friends into the gym after hours :) There are also emergency alert necklaces to wear after hours...hit the button and it alerts the cops. So far I feel safe. We will see how I feel once I make it there after hours.

I was supposed to go to my regular Zumba class yesterday, but it got cancelled. So hubby, munchkin and I went on a walk. Today munchkin and I went for a walk, hubby is working late tonight. I think I will try to get to the gym tomorrow night for their butt and guts class (which sounds scary, but is only 45 minutes so I should be able to struggle through it :))dythia99http://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883819100454792803.post-44912483463166460192012-01-01T16:57:00.000-08:002012-01-01T16:59:10.863-08:00Day one part 2Went for a 20 minute walk when my husband got home. Had a Turkey Burger and salad for dinner - around 400 calories. So Yummy! Now I just need to get in a couple more glasses of water and no snacks and I will have passed day #1 with flying colors :)dythia99http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883819100454792803.post-60436253248155729112012-01-01T11:23:00.000-08:002012-01-01T11:31:59.355-08:00Day #1 First day of 2012Last night the young neighbors that share my bedroom wall decided to have a party. I put up with the loud music until 3:45 am when finally I got dressed, went over to their apartment and told them to turn it down. They complied, for about 5 minutes. Which was just long enough to come home get undressed and get back in bed. So I suffered through it and they quit around 5am. Needless to say, I was not the most awake this morning and kept dosing off, while my son watched Seasame Street. I didnt fully get off my butt until 10am, so for breakfast I only had 2 slices of apple. Lunch I had a yummy pasta and veggie steam meal - which was 540 calories. I had a cup of hot Green Tea. I plan to start easy today - I am going to make my husband take a walk with me and our son tonight when he gets home. I will check in later tonight and report how my day went :)dythia99http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883819100454792803.post-15795435052508858372011-12-31T11:53:00.000-08:002011-12-31T12:09:15.227-08:00Starting 2012 off rightTomorrow starts the New Year, and so I want to start it off right. My resolution this year is to lose at least 2 1/2 pounds a month. If I can do that, it will be at least 30 pounds lost by this time next year. It would be nice to sit here on December 31st 2012....healthier and smaller. It would be nice to not have to buy plus size clothing. It would be nice to see pictures of my self that I don't immediatly rip up or flip to the next picture so that I don't have to look at the fatty fat fat I have become. I am going to use this blog to keep track of my victories....and any failures (Hopefully there wont be many).

I will be using a Weight Watchers scale that measures water and other stuff. I wanted to take measurements today so I don't chicken out tomorrow. I plan on taking measurements every Saturday at 2pm. So here are todays measurements:

Sat 12/31 2pm

Weight: 188.2 (goal for January 185.2)

Body Fat: 35.7 (should be 19-29)

H2O: 46.8 (should be 45-60)

Bone Mass: 6.8 (should be 6-6.8)

BMI: 31.3 (should be 20-25)

Measurements in inches

Waist: 39"
Rib (under bust); 35 3/4"
Bust: 41.5"
Hips: 46"
Left Thigh: 24.5"
Right Thigh: 24.5"

See you again tomorrow with Day #1dythia99http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883819100454792803.post-35591046846735852152011-11-07T12:50:00.000-08:002011-11-07T12:50:00.664-08:00Learning new things
So here is my first post..... Seems like everyone these days have a blog. So I figured I should probably give it a try. At this point, my mother would ask, "If everyone jumped off the bridge, would you?" My response was always, "Depends on how high the bridge is and is there deep enough water that I won't die when I jump" I am sure you have heard some sayings like that out of authority figures....The sad part is now that I have a child I hear some of the same phrases jump from my lips, before i can stop them. My favorite, "If you don't quit crying, I will give you something to cry about!" Means more to me now that my son is 2 1/2.

So what phrases do you hear come from your mouth that actually belonged in your parents?

Five days into training camp, NFL teams don't practice. So, during the lull, let's take stock of developments with the team that called itself the San Diego Chargers from 1961 through early January.
Dean to the fore
Chairman and owner Dean Spanos was a visible presence on the football grounds in Orange County, a rebuke to the notion Spanos would fade into the background once he and his family decided the franchise's locale.
At the fields in Costa Mesa, Spanos was on hand no more often than at San Diego camps. But he was more animated and more quotable.
Spanos, 67 and in charge of day-to-day operations since 1994, hugged the dean of L.A....

This Little Light of Mine
Winner of the 2011 Chicago/Midwest EMMY®
Outstanding Crafts Achievement for On Camera Talent-Program Performer
Written by Adrienne Danrich under a commission from the Cincinnati Opera, This Little Light of Mine is an inventive one-woman musical tribute honoring the ground breaking careers of two African-American opera legends who overcame many racial barriers from the Jim Crow era through the Civil Rights Movement to become international opera stars. Ms. Anderson became the first African-American singer to perform at The Metropolitan Opera House in New York and Ms. Price would take that torch and carry it to The Metropolitan Opera and the most prestigious opera houses around the world.
Best described as a 'live documentary', Ms. Danrich narrates the remarkable story with moving dialogue and songs and arias that bring the accomplishments of these two great women to audiences that will never hear them 'live'. In addition to her storytelling ability and the beauty of her voice, Ms. Danrich creatively documents the lives of the two artist/pioneers by showing poignant multi-media images of the pair at different stages in their lives and playing audio excerpts of some of their most famous recordings.

W3 Total Cache is not using gzip to all files
Hi there.
I'm running W3 Total Cache and gzip compression seems working correctly but some files are not being compressed.
If I run Google Page Speed on my site (http://www.proximaviagem.com) I'll have a red disk for compression. Basically I have around 20 javascript files (almost from plugins) that are not compressed.
How I can fix this? Why the plugin is compressing some files and not these ones?
Many thanks for your support.

Current Project:
August 13, 2017: In studying photos showing the Fort Pitt Bridge Works building, which I recently completed (see the August 9th entry above), I realized that some of the earlier buildings surrounding the mine tipple weren't there anymore in photos from the 1930s and 1940s. I've decided to stick to modeling the summer of 1950, but without those buildings. I am "planting" scenery around the Fort Pitt building.

Wonder Woman Wrap
Now available in French, courtesy of PetitBoutdeMoi
Now available in Spanish, courtesy of MedeaTeje
I tried to keep this pattern as simple as possible so it would be accessible to a wide range of knitters. However, some fairly basic short-rows were required to get the logo right. With that said, I think an advanced beginner, or even an adventurous newbie, could still handle it.
Span: 86 inches
Height at center: 22 inches
Color A: Lazy Cat Yarns Opulence 70% merino, 20% silk, 10% cashmere; 400m/437yd per 100g skein; color: 102 Sweet Dreams; 1 skein
Color B: Hedgehog Fibres Sock 90% merino, 10% nylon; 400m/437yd per 100g skein; color: Pollen; 1 skein
US #4/3.5mm circular needle
Tapestry needle
5 stitch markers
17 sts/33 rows = 4 inches in garter stitch
In the Lower Triangle section, Row 1, the stitches themselves are correct, but I didn't explicitly say to slip the marker. So it should read:
Row 1 (RS): k1, kfb, k to m, m1R, sm, k to m, sm, ssk, k17, m1R, pm, k1, m1L, w&t, k2, sm, k1 (instead of k3), w&t, k to m, m1R, sm, k1, m1L, k to previous wrapped st, kww, w&t, k to m, sm, k to previous wrapped st, kww, w&t 16 times, k to m, m1R, sm, k1, m1L, k to previous wrapped st, kww, k2tog, sm, k to m, sm, m1L, k to last 2 sts, kfb, k1. – 239 sts

What's the weather like in Tunisia in October?
With the Sahara Desert to the south, you can rely on Tunisia's weather staying nice and warm in October. There's differences around the country, but if you're going to a popular Mediterranean destination on the coast, you'll get high temperatures and lots of sun at this time.
Regional variances
While Tunisia's known for its hot weather, there's differences around the country because of its geography. You might find it quite extreme in the south where the Sahara makes things really hot and dry, with a big contrast between day and night temperatures. To the north and east the Mediterranean Sea means things are much less extreme. Breezes will keep you cool on the coast, while the Cape Bon peninsula's more comfortable than other parts of Tunisia, which makes it popular.
The average high in popular Hammamet's 27ºC in October, so it's great for late summer sun. Things stay quite pleasant in the evenings, which cool to 17ºC. The sea's nice and inviting at 24ºC while there's 62mm of rain over seven days. You can expect humidity to be low and comfortable, and 11 hours of daylight with seven hours of sunshine at a moderate UV level. Sunset's at 6pm at the start of the month and gradually gets earlier.
