A further blow occurred on the ecclesiastical front. In 1151, David once again requested a pallium for the archbishop of St Andrews.

Success appeared tantalisingly close to the game's perennial under-achievers. However, controversy derailed the Saints' 1964 season.

The furore lasted for months, although history showed that the club was actually ahead of the times in their strategic thinking.

Furthermore, tantalisingly, there is some suggestion that the other branch of Thursbys relocated somewhere else altogether. Visitations in Norfolk refer to the son of Henry Thursby and Ellen Fotheringhay as 'Thomas Thursbye of Bocking'. There seems to be general agreement that his great-grandson Christopher Thursby was of Bocking. Even Christopher's father, Edward Thursby, gentleman is described as' of Bockinge in Essex'.

The most thorough piece of research on Bindon to date was written by the Knight of Glin in 1967. However, this is more of a succinct artistic critique than a biography and contains tantalisingly few details of his private life. What we do know is that Bindon was born in Clooney, County Clare c.1690 and died unmarried in 1765.

Rejecting evolution's biological shackles tantalisingly dangles the promise of eternal life for those bold enough to seize it.

The "Finnesburg Fragment" (also "Finnsburh Fragment") is a portion of an Old English heroic poem about a fight in which Hnæf and his 60 retainers are besieged at "Finn's fort" and attempt to hold off their attackers. The surviving text is tantalisingly brief and allusive, but comparison with other references in Old English poetry, notably Beowulf (c. 1000 AD), suggests that it deals with a conflict between Danes and Frisians in Migration-Age Frisia (400 to 800 AD).

The feverish shout of "The game, Mrs. Hudson, is on!" is a reference to a line in "The Adventure of the Abbey Grange", "The game is afoot", which is frequently accredited to Holmes in adaptations. In the 2013 mini-episode "Many Happy Returns", a newspaper headline tantalisingly reads "The game is back on" as a harbinger of the character's imminent return. The cabbie is dying of a brain aneurysm, while the murderer in A Study in Scarlet is dying of an aortic aneurysm.

Dawson (2000), 53 The painting was intended as part of a series of Popes for an exhibition at the Hanover Gallery in September 1950. Following a crises of confidence, Bacon withdrew and destroyed the canvasses he had been working on. A number of works in the series, including this painting, re- emerged in the late 1990s, and are considered among the finest of his output. Before it re-emerged; it was often reproduced, tantalisingly, from a black and white photograph.

Tantalisingly, however, the only known audio documents of the festival exist in very poor quality as Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings. This tour is also notable for the band's visit to Iceland for their opening show at Laugardalshöll.Led Zeppelin official website: concert summary It was this visit which inspired singer Robert Plant to write the lyrics to "Immigrant Song", which was subsequently featured on their forthcoming album Led Zeppelin III. This song premiered at the Bath Festival, just six days after their show in Iceland.

Sadly, the only glimpses that today's audiences can have of her Brazilian screen performances are in the recently restored Alô, Alô, Carnaval (1936) and a tantalisingly brief clip from Banana da Terra (1939), in which she first wore on screen what would become her iconic baiana costume and extravagant turban.The International Film Musical, p.152 In 1939 she became a star on Broadway, at the invitation of US show business impresario, Lee Shubert, and just two years later was under contract with the 20th Century-Fox studios in Hollywood.Hirsch, Foster.

Subsequent to Quadros's skin, no further acceptable records of Eastern Green Tinkerbird from southern Africa came to light. Clancey (1996) summarised its status as “unknown” and Spottiswoode (1997) as “uncertain”, while Parker (1999: xxiii) called it “tantalisingly obscure”. At the time the popular account (Davies & Chittenden 2013) was written, the present author was unaware of any other reliable records of Eastern Green Tinkerbird for southern Mozambique, aside from Quadros's skin. However, this overlooked K.L. Tinley's (1977: table 9.6) unpublished thesis for the Gorongosa area, Sofala Province, in which Eastern Green Tinkerbird was listed as a frugivore dispersal agent on the Gorongosa Massif.

They were among the select few sets of brothers to play together in and win All-Ireland titles. In 1946, Roscommon came tantalisingly close to adding a third title, however, in the All-Ireland final against Kerry, Murray sustained a broken nose, but came back on to the field to almost score a late winning point. Kerry won the day by 2-8 to 0-10. As a Gaelic footballer, Jimmy Murray was a stylish and tenacious centre forward who made little of his relatively small stature to thrive in an era when physical strength was celebrated.

The first series was generally well received by the critics, with some high praise for its striking visuals, but also some expressions of concern about its violence. Aidan Smith of The Scotsman noted both its "astonishing visuals" as well as its "astonishing violence", while Tom Sutcliffe of The Independent thought it a dystopian fantasy "delivered with great visual style" but was not convinced that its violence is necessary. Mark Monahan of The Daily Telegraph described it as "a dark, tantalisingly mysterious overture", while Sam Wollaston of The Guardian called it "a work of brilliant imagination", "a 21st-century nightmare" that "looks beautiful", but also wondered about the gratuitousness of its violence.

Talks between Royal Mail and the CWU continued, but relations were strained by the emergence of a leaked document suggesting that Royal Mail would achieve its reforms "with or without union engagement". CWU general secretary Billy Hayes called the document's contents "an organised attempt to sideline the union" and expressed his concern that Business Secretary Peter Mandelson appeared to be familiar with it. Furthermore, following the first round of strikes, it emerged that both sides had been "tantalisingly close" to brokering a deal on the evening of 20 October, but that Royal Mail had backed away from this the following morning. Consequently, the strikes went ahead as planned.

Bolton North East has more often than not to date been a marginal seat between Labour and Conservative candidates. In 1992, David Crausby came tantalisingly close to gaining the seat, as Labour were expecting to do. It would not be until 1997 that Labour gained the seat, with a huge 12,000 majority, holding it for the next 22 years. Altogether the national statistics collected reflect a socially diverse seat in terms of income, this has been a highly marginal seat when national polls are close, with lower than average social housing and a lower ranking in the Index of Multiple Deprivation than the average for the metropolitan county.

Kapoor stated that despite adding Khan to her name she would continue practising Hinduism after marriage. Reema Kagti's psychological thriller, Talaash: The Answer Lies Within, in which she played the "tantalisingly seductive prostitute" Rosie, was Kapoor's final release of 2012. Co-starring alongside Aamir Khan and Rani Mukerji, the film is set against the backdrop of Mumbai's red-light districts and follows the travails of a police officer (Khan) who is assigned the duty of solving a mysterious car accident. Pratim D. Gupta of The Telegraph found Kapoor to be a standout among the ensemble, adding that "she brings an unseen mix of oomph and emotion that becomes the [film's] centrepiece".

The SOHR reported that an additional 19 ISIL fighters were killed in the U.S. airstrikes that accompanied the raid. One official said that ISIL Forces fired at the U.S. aircraft, and there was reportedly hand-to-hand combat during the raid. UH-60 Black Hawk and V-22 Osprey helicopters were used to conduct the raid, and Umm Sayyaf was held by U.S. forces in Iraq. CNN reported that a senior U.S. military official revealed that in May 2015, U.S. special operations forces came "tantalisingly close" to capturing or killing ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in Raqqa, but failed to do so because classified information was leaked to the news media.

A writer of Antena 1 labelled Mami a Latin- influenced dance-pop album, noting that "the songs are composed in such a way to rensemble all of Stan's fans, regardless of their nationalities." The record's international version starts with "Rablaton", an English and Spanish Latin pop song that Jonathan Currinn of website CelebMix likened to the works of Barbadian singer Rihanna and Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. It is followed by "Mami", a trilingual song combining English, French and Spanish; its lyrics deal with feminity. Mami continues with "You Used to Know" and "Ou La La", with the latter being entirely written in French and having sex-inspired lyrics that feature Stan tantalisingly asking questions.

The opening pair Foster and Fraser were soon replaced by Emburey and Cook, but England's bowling looked out of depth, and struggled to work out where to bowl and Marsh and Taylor set about scoring freely. After an opening stand of 135, Marsh was caught behind tantalisingly close to his fifty, out for 47 off the bowling of a reinvigorated Botham. The loss of his partner seemed to unsettle Taylor, and he too soon fell, stumped for 85 trying to advance down the wicket to Emburey. David Boon was unusually disappointing, clean bowled by Angus Fraser for 12, and in a rare bright period for England they had taken 3 for 12 to leave Australia on 154 for 3.

The groovey, electro-funk "C'est ne pas", featuring Cameroonian singer Blick Bassy's "silky" and "majestic" vocals", is minimal with bass, beats, effects, and scat singing. It was originally conceived as an 8-minute studio jam, but Bassy used parts of several local dialects (including French) from his home nation in the vocal take, borrowing elements of each. The pulsating, Latin-inspired title track has "errant" whistles, "clattering" conga drums, cowbells, and synth organs. The next two songs "hint tantalisingly at a creative expansiveness". The woozy "Thinking 'Bout You" "takes a razor" to a piece of early '70s Canadian blue-eyed soul (Lady's 1976 single “You're Still the One"), with "beautiful" string instruments giving it a "heavenly" touch.

Chiradzulu Mountain rises imperiously from the valley below its southern silhouette and can be viewed by Zomba-bound motorists along the Blantyre-Zomba Road, from as far away as Mapanga. Its massive form looms larger as motorists approach Njuli. It cuts a picturesque backdrop to the east of the Blantyre-Zomba Road as motorists cruise past Njuli, aiming to perhaps stop and catch their breath at Namadzi, an intriguing town by a river of the same name on the Zomba District border. From this vantage point, motorists can, on a clear day, look back to catch one last silhouetted view of Chiradzulu Mountain as it lumbers tantalisingly further to the south-east.

The source is tantalisingly silent on the question of what Dohlus had done to earn his rebuke from the Party Central Committee in 1955. Between September 1954 and August 1955 most of his time was spent in Moscow attending a course ("Lehrgang C" / "Course C") at the Communist Party Academy there. Whatever his violations of party morals may have involved, they did not terminate his party career, and on returning in 1955 he became the SED Cental Committee's party organiser at the vast and prestigious new "Schwarze Pumpe" lignite based energy, heat and power combine. He stayed with Schwarze Pumpe till 1958 when he relocated to Cottbus: here, till 1960 he held a position as Second Secretary of the party's regional leadership team.

However, the final tally received 247 votes; 249 were needed to expel Brandt from office. Persuasive evidence subsequently emerged that two members of Parliament, (CDU) and (CSU) had been bribed by the East German Ministry for State Security. Details of the alleged East German involvement remain hazy, however: not all commentators are persuaded that East German bribes were the most decisive factor in the tantalisingly narrow failure of the no-confidence vote which, had matters turned out differently, could have triggered a successful bid for Barzel to become West Germany's next chancellor in 1972. The government, in consideration of the fact that it had lost its effective parliamentary majority and that parliamentary work was stalled, reacted by calling new elections, which it won decisively.

Amazingly the Crusaders managed to make the final that year after taking games throughout the wider Crusaders catchment area, New Zealand and even to Twickenham, however, the side fell tantalisingly close to a deserved victory as the Reds won their first title 18–13. In 2012 the Crusaders were knocked out by eventually champions the Chiefs 20–17 in the semi-finals before the Chiefs, on route to their second title, beat the Crusaders again in the semi-finals by the tighter margin of 20–19. In 2014, the Crusaders returned to the final but again fell short 33–32 against the Waratahs due to a last minute controversial penalty goal struck by Bernard Foley. In 2015 the Crusaders failed to make the finals, the first time Blackadder had not made them although the Crusaders extended his contract for another year.

In February 2004, she reached her third $25k singles event final at Columbus, Ohio, only to be defeated by future superstar Czech Nicole Vaidišová in the tantalisingly close tournament decider. The following month, she qualified for another $50k event, at Orange, California, with wins over Neha Uberoi and Mashona Washington, then defeated Colombian Catalina Castaño and Camille Pin to reach the main-draw quarterfinal, before losing in three sets to Ukrainian Yuliya Beygelzimer. Among further consistent results in ITF tournaments, she was victorious in what was the first ever $75k tournament she had entered, defeating Angela Haynes, Yuka Yoshida and Evgenia Linetskaya in straight sets at Dothan to take her sixth career ITF singles title. A month later, she proved this was no accident by winning her second $75k event, fending off some tough competition from Lucie Šafářová and Barbora Strýcová en route to a comfortable final victory over Zuzana Ondrášková.

The land was densely forested but was gradually cleared throughout the medieval period for agricultural use and the population lived in dispersed farm settlements adjacent to field strips or scattered around the periphery of common land which made up a substantial part of the southern and western area of the Parish. It is known that in the thirteenth century, gallows were erected jointly by the Abbots of Westminster and St Albans 'in a certain spot called Keneprowe' (now Kemp Row), for trials conducted at Aldenham. Radlett seems to have consisted of two farms: Darnells (first mentioned in 1358) and Gills Hill on the west side of Watling Street; and the estates of Aldenham Lodge, Newberries and Organ Hall on the east, plus Newlands (first recorded in 1291) and a few cottages. There are records of at least two other medieval moated homesteads within the Parish – Penne's Place and Kendals, but tantalisingly little physical evidence.
