Does Missouri Have The Right To Be In The SEC?
Tab Published: August 12, 2020
Looking at the SEC as a whole, It's the most powerful conference in Football, Softball and quite possibly baseball -- but one team hasn't followed that tradition....
No team has struggles like Mizzou in the SEC. Before joining the SEC, they were a powerhouse in Football, basketball and even volleyball. What happen to such a notable and great team?
Prior joining the SEC, the team was coached by Gary Pinkel (2001–2015), who has the highest winning percentage of any coach in Missouri football history (setting that mark with his 102nd win at the AT&T Cotton Bowl on January 3, 2014).Pinkel's record with Mizzou after his final game on November 27, 2015, is 118–73 (.618). While he was coaching in the Big12, he was the 2nd most revered coach in his stint in that conference. But let's not just look at football, their basketball team has struggled the past 5 years in the SEC which is no excuse because Mizzou was originally a basketball school.. While in the Big12 and Big8, they had plenty of eight eight finishes and plenty of sweet sixteen appearances. I would much rather have a Penn St. or a Maryland than Mizzou.
Mizzou has been a sore disappointment to the SEC and college sports, with that being said -- they still have time yo redeem themselves to the college athletics all across the board. With being the only NCAA 'powerhouse' within the state there should be no excuses to not being great.

Thank you for visiting and welcome to my website…
Welcome to my new website.
Once again, I am running for re-election for Councilor-at-Large from Ward 5.
As your Representative for nearly six terms now, I continue to serve on two substantive committees: I chair the Zoning and Planning Committee, where we review and recommend rules governing land use development, and continue to serve on the Public Facilities Committee, which I led for eight years.
I came to the Council with a long resume of volunteer service on numerous Boards and Commissions, as well as a record of activism in support of community preservation, environmental protection, more thoughtful city planning, and more open and accountable government in Newton.
My architectural background has also helped me contribute meaningfully to develop and implement plans to improve critical city infrastructure, evaluate numerous public building projects and shape city policies to better manage the built environment. I wish to continue my work on the City Council, to ensure wise stewardship of Newton's built and natural environments, greater economic stability and a diverse and welcoming community.
Over the past dozen years, city leaders have made strong progress in putting the city on a more solid financial footing. Our Capital Plan is based on a thorough assessment of municipal buildings and infrastructure, and thanks to strategic planning, the successful 2013 override and judicious spending, Newton has been able to advance projects to rebuild elementary schools and fire stations, update emergency communications, advance roadway and sidewalk reconstruction projects, rehabilitate our aging water, sewer and stormwater systems. It has been gratifying to participate deeply in the process to assure this work is thoughtfully designed, well-managed and of a quality that will last for generations to come.
I am pleased that the city is again moving ahead with capital projects after COVID interrupted much of this work in 2020. There is so much more work ahead. We can and must be even better caretakers of our city as we continue to invest wisely in our future. We must incorporate advanced pedestrian safety measures as we continue an assertive road and sidewalk rehabilitation and maintenance, support development of more robust multi-modal transit, much more heavily invest in our park and conservation areas and carefully lay the groundwork to facilitate desperately needed housing options affordable to seniors, young adults and families. As leaders, we must manage a carefully prioritized capital plan and make strategic investments that will strengthen our community and prepare for a sustainable quality of living for our community.
My husband and I and our two children have experienced the many advantages of Newton's exceptional public schools, diversity and quality of life. I wish to work to help protect and build upon these qualities and to pass on to you and many generations a secure and sustainable future.
I am confident that my record of accomplishment demonstrates I can continue to make a meaningful contribution to this work.
You can count on me to listen to your concerns, do my homework - and act with integrity to serve our community. I look forward to continued collaboration with our mayor, City Council and School Committee.
Please explore my website to get to know me a little better, contact me if you have a question, comment or want to share what you feel are the most important issues facing Newton.
All of Newton can vote in this election, and I ask once again for your vote on November 2!

New Album, Swansea, out October 11, 2019!
on July 26, 2019 July 26, 2019 By lemolomusic
I am overjoyed to announce that my new album, Swansea, is complete and will be released this fall on October 11, 2019!
I am crying as I write this, because it is so overwhelming and cathartic to begin sharing something that I poured so much of myself into, and for so long. Swansea is deeply personal, and is about my experiences with various forms of loss, the solitude that comes with it, and finding strength in remembering how to stand on my own two feet. I started writing some of these songs as early as 2014, and have been dreaming up this record and working on it ever since. I had the honor and pleasure of collaborating with producer Nathan Yaccino, who helped me craft my music to sound like I always dreamed it would. Making Swansea was one of the most soul-fulfilling things I have ever done, and I am so grateful to you for being on this wild ride with me!
Please stay tuned for many announcements to come about pre-ordering the record, upcoming singles and videos, new shows, and all things Lemolo. And I invite you to sign up for my mailing list here so we can stay connected through it all. Here we go! #LP3swansea

The Cure perform career-spanning setlist at Robert Smith's Meltdown Festival: Video + Setlist
Smith closes out his own festival with 28 songs that go back to the very beginning
by Michael Roffman

The Cure, photo by Lior Phillips
On Sunday evening, The Cure's Robert Smith closed out his own Meltdown Festival with a career-spanning setlist in the truest sense. Appearing as Cureation 25, since the band's forthcoming Hyde Park gig has been billed as their only European date of the year, the 28 songs performed were split into two separate sets that essentially saw Smith and the gang dusting off two songs per album.
The first section, "From There to Here", included one song from each of their 13 studio albums in chronological order, coming to a close with their unreleased 2016 track, "It Can Never Be the Same". The second section, aptly dubbed "From Here to There", kicked off with their new song, "Step Into the Light", before going backwards through their discography, ultimately opting for "Boys Don't Cry" over another track off Three Imaginary Boys.
As Slicing Up Eyeballs reports, there weren't any special guests, despite initial reports; instead, the night featured the current lineup of The Cure, which consists of bassist Simon Gallup, drummer Jason Cooper, keyboardist Roger O'Donnell, and guitarist Reeves Gabrels.
The entire performance is available to stream below. Peep the setlist shortly after and a selection of fan-shot footage.

Donald Trump attacks Jimmy Fallon over Hair Incident: "Be a man Jimmy!"


— May, who is attempting to make a life for herself without the macho lover who wants to renew their fraught love affair. She'll have none of his denials of leaving her for another woman, telling him "you suckered me into a fantasy and dropped me like a hot rock."
If Sam Shepard's 1983 play Fool For Love had a subtitle it might be the end of an affair that should never have begun. This 1983 play packs fifteen years of the obsessive love-hate relationship of Eddie, an aging macho stunt man and May into a reunion in a seedy, budget motel room at the edge of the Mojave Desert.
The rhythmic quality that gives Fool For Love the feeling of a musicalized fight drama is most evident in the repeated door slammings — Eddie's out the motel's entry into the parking lot, and May's into the bathroom. The loud slam of the door accompanying each exit is a leitmotif for the painful reality of these bleak star-crossed lives that no fantasy or burst of passion can change.
In the 2014 Williamstown Theatre revival, when Sam Rockwell, like Eddies before him, walked once more into the parking lot (his corral), there was no mistaking the finality of that door's slamming shut. But with the mesmerizing Nina Arianda, who became a star fresh out of college with Venus in Fur donning the little red dress that's as integral to the play as the Shepardesque symbolism playing the woman determined to break free from Eddie's hold on her, there was nothing final about this 15-day run. Arianda and Rockwell were clearly headed for the big corral that is Broadway.
Actually Arianda and Rockwell were replacements for Williamstown's originally scheduled May and Eddie (Chris Pine and Lauren Ambrose, who had last minute scheduling problems), so they had even less than usual rehearsal time. Now that the production has transferred to the Samuel J. Friedman to which Venus and Fur also transfered, Adriana and Rockwell they've had plenty of time to deepen the impact of this story of doomed dreams. Indeed both have done so in terms of ratcheting up the sexual sizzle between them as well as their body language which with these actors often says more than words. In Rockwell's case, he's become even more adept at twirling his lasso around furniture and even Adriana's May.
The story centers on May's struggle to break free from Eddie's influence over her. He typifies the macho male who clings as best he can to his cowboy swagger. She's got an independent streak, but somehow not strong enough to break away from her volatile relationship with a man who continually abandons his conquests. In May's case he pursues her only and most insistently when there is a chance that she will escape him. Her latest escape — and it's easy to sense that she's moved out of his trailer before and he's pursued her before, if not always 2,480 miles as he has this time.
While True West has been done on Broadway (True West Broadway review), Fool for Love, though frequently produced is gracing a Great White Way marquee, and there's no question that it's got a Broadway worthy cast and production. Under Daniel Aukin's direction Sam Shepard's view of the American family and landscape for maximum humor, physicality, and sadness holds up remarkably well. You can almost feel the grime of the walls of Dan Laffrey's grungy Mojave Desert motel (when does this guy sleep? He created both scenery and costumes across the street for Spring Awakening, also worked on two recently opened Off-Broadway shows — Cloud Nine and the Christians). Justin Townsend's lighting subtly supports Laffrey's setting and costumer Anita Yavich has given May and Edde just the right look.
Typically Shepardesque, the 75-minutes bristle with symbolism, physicality and suspense. That suspense is less about whether May will succumb to Eddie's insistence that they can and will be happy together than the gradually revealed details about what makes their volatile 15-year-long relationship more than a case of boundless sexual passion. Those revelations come via the silent old man (Gordon Joseph Weiss) sitting at the edge of the stage. This ghostly character is seen only by Eddie and May and it's their interchanges with and about their connection to him that makes this more than a Romeo and Juliet story with the teen-aged lovers not dying but living out their less than happily after story.
Another character Martin (Tom Pelphrey, the only newcomer to the Broadway cast), an ordinary working man with whom May has a date to go to the movies, triggers Eddie to turn scarily aggressive and reveal his fear that he might become the son repeating the sins of hid father (yes, the ever present ghostly guy). Both Weiss and Pelphrey make these characters vital additions to the story. However, Fool For Love always has and continues to be a bravura acting opportunity for the two actors playing the lovers. The 1983 San Francisco premiere which Shepard directed starred Ed Harris and Kathy Baker transferred to a 1,000 performance run that won Harris an OBIE.
All this said, the one Fool For Love that will always have a top place in my favorite theater memories list was the one I saw at the now sadly defunct 29th Street Rep in 2002. This upstairs venue with its mission of presenting hard-edged, gritty dramas was custom-made for the squalid motel room with its flashing Neon lights and grimy curtains. Being a small theater it was a much more intimate experience that practically put you into that motel room And David Mogentale and Elizabeth Elkins, two big stars with the company if little known at more fashionable theaters further uptown, were both riveting. But with this worthy company gone and any Shepard play always an event, his fans won't want to miss this starry revival.

The Abbey of St Mary is a ruined Benedictine abbey in York, England and a Grade I listed building. [1]

Abbots of St. Mary's
Once the richest abbey in the north of England, [2] it lies in what are now the York Museum Gardens, on a steeply-sloping site to the west of York Minster.
The original church on the site was founded in 1055 and dedicated to Saint Olaf II of Norway. After the Norman Conquest the church came into the possession of the Anglo-Breton magnate Alan Rufus who granted the lands to Abbot Stephen and a group of monks from Whitby. The abbey church was refounded in 1088 [1] [3] when the King, William Rufus, visited York in January or February of that year [4] and gave the monks additional lands. The following year he laid the foundation stone of the new Norman church and the site was rededicated to the Virgin Mary. [5] [6] The foundation ceremony was attended by bishop Odo of Bayeux and Archbishop Thomas of Bayeux. [2] The monks moved to York from a site at Lastingham in Ryedale in the 1080s and are recorded there in Domesday. [2] Following a dispute and riot in 1132, a party of reform-minded monks left to establish the Cistercian monastery of Fountains Abbey. [7] In 1137 the abbey was badly damaged by a great fire. [5] The surviving ruins date from a rebuilding programme begun in 1271 and finished by 1294.
Ruins of the abbey church from the southern end
The abbey occupied an extensive precinct site immediately outside the city walls, between Bootham and the River Ouse. [1] [6] The original boundary included a ditch and a narrow strip of ground, but the walled circuit was constructed above this in the 1260s in the Abbacy of Simon de Warwick; [6] the walls were nearly three-quarters of a mile long. In 1318 the abbot received royal permission to raise the height of the wall and crenelate it; a stretch of this wall still runs along Bootham and Marygate to the River Ouse. [2]
The gatehouse in Marygate and its lodge formed part of a range of buildings that linked to the older church of St Olave by a chapel dedicated to Mary. Though work on the chapel and gatehouse was under way 1314 and completed in 1320, the surviving structures are mostly of fifteenth-century origin. [2]
St Mary's Tower is a structure at the corner of Marygate and Bootham. [8]
The abbey church is aligned northeast–southwest, due to restrictions of the site. [2] The original Norman church had an apsidal liturgical east end, and its side aisles ended in apses, though they were square on the exterior. Rebuilding began in 1270, under the direction of Abbot Simon de Warwick, [6] and was swiftly completed during a single twenty-four year building campaign, [3] such was the financial strength of the abbey. The completed abbey church was 350 feet (110 m) in length, consisted of a nave with aisles, north and south transepts with chapels in an eastern aisle, and a presbytery with aisles. [6] To the east of the cloister and on the line of the transepts were a vestibule leading to the chapter house, the scriptorium and library. [6] Beyond the church lay the kitchen, novices' building and infirmary. [6] The Abbey chronicle (which has not been fully translated from Latin) names the project officers as Simon de Warwick, a monk administrator and the master stonemason Master Simon, [3] all of whom were still alive upon the completion of the project in 1294. [3]
The abbot's house, built of brick in 1483, survives as the King's Manor because it became the seat of the Council of the North in 1539; the abbots of St Mary's and the abbey featured in the medieval and early modern ballads of Robin Hood, with the abbot usually as Robin Hood's nemesis.[ citation needed ]
In August 1513 the Abbot supplied four chests for the use of Philip Tilney, treasurer of the English army before the Battle of Flodden. The Abbey seems to have become the accounting office for the army in the north, involving Thomas Magnus, Archdeacon of the East Riding, and two monks of the abbey, Richard Wode and Richard Rypon. [9]
A portion of the remaining walls
St Mary's, the largest and richest Benedictine establishment in the north of England and one of the largest landholders in Yorkshire, was worth over £2,000 a year, (equivalent to £1,350,000in 2019), [10] when it was valued in 1539, during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII; it was closed and subsequently substantially destroyed. On 26 November 1539 the Abbey surrendered £2,085 and 50 monks to the Crown. [11]
A fifteenth-century index catalogue records that the Abbey's library originally contained over 750 books. Approximately thirty-five texts from the Abbey are currently extant, including only five printed books; these include a 15th-century copy of Richard Rolle's Incendium Amoris. [12]
Brother Grayson's Bible
A Vulgate Bible, sold at auction in England in 2010, has been identified as the possession of Brother John Grayson from St Mary's Abbey. It is an octavo volume and was printed on 8 November 1526 by Thielmann Kerver in Paris. Brother Grayson was first noted at the Abbey in 1528 but was absent from its pension list at the time of the Dissolution in 1539. [12]
The Anonimalle Chronicle
The Anonimalle Chronicle is an important chronicle whose scope extends from the legendary Brutus to 1381. [13] It was composed in Anglo-Norman [14] by an anonymous monk of St Mary's Abbey towards the end of the 14th century. It includes the most detailed surviving description of a medieval parliament and a well-informed account of the Peasants' Revolt; these are likely to have been written by eyewitnesses and later incorporated into the chronicle. [13] The body of the chronicle from Brutus to the year 1307 has been described as a variant of the prose Brut but there are considerable differences (e.g. the chronicler shows an interest in early ecclesiastical history which the Brut does not). From 1307 to 1333 it follows the main Brut tradition more closely though it demonstrates a marked London interest. After 1333 the chronicle is an individual account probably drawing on sources originating in London. [13] The manuscript was known to the 16th-century antiquaries Thynne and Stow; its title derives from Thynne's description of it. It afterwards passed through the hands of various owners until it was found in the possession of the Ingilby family of Ripley Castle in 1920. The section from 1333 to 1381 was edited by V. H. Galbraith and published in 1927. In 1982 it was acquired by the Brotherton Collection, at the University of Leeds. [13] Another partial edition appeared in 1991 in the form of an edition and translation of the chronicle from 1307 to 1334 by Wendy Childs and John Taylor. [15]
The St. Mary's Abbey Figurine of Christ
The Yorkshire Museum, built for the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, stands in part of the abbey cloister; parts of the east, south and west cloister walls were temporarily excavated in 1827–29 preparatory to digging the museum's foundations. [2] The relationship between the Museum and abbey is historically quite intimate as part of the richly carved chapter house vestibule (c. 1298–1307) survives incorporated into Tempest Anderson Hall lecture theatre (1911–12). [1] [2] These walls and part of the warming house are retained in the Museum as part of the Medieval gallery display.
Excavations of the chapter house were undertaken in 1912 by the honorary curator of Medieval archaeology, Walter Harvey-Brook [16] who, along with Edwin Ridsdale Tate designed and developed the Museum of Medieval Architecture on the site. [17]
Further excavations in the abbey were undertaken in 1952–56 by the then Keeper of the Yorkshire Museum, George Willmot who encountered the pre-Norman and Roman layers beneath the west wing of the nave. [18]
Excavations in 2014 and 2015 discovered an apse in the south transept, large parts of the wall foundations, and numerous residual small finds dating from the Roman to Modern periods. These investigations also encountered fragments of human remains, disturbed from burials somewhere on the site. One of the major conclusions of these excavations was the prevalence of in situ archaeological remains at a very shallow depth beneath the modern ground surface; in some cases as little as 7 cm underground. [19] [20]
A 13th-century gilt, Limoges enamel figurine depicting Christ (the St Mary's Abbey Figurine) was discovered in the Abbey in 1826, having avoided the dissolution of the monastery in 1539. It disappeared soon afterwards, and was thought by some to have been destroyed, only to be discovered in a private art collection in Germany in the 1920s. In 2019, the statue was bought by York Museums Trust and put on display in Yorkshire Museum. [21]
The abbots of St. Mary's were similar in prestige to the Archbishop of York, being entitled to wear a mitre and having a seat in Parliament (allowing them the style "My Lord Abbot"). [11] In total there were 30 Abbots, including: [11] [22]

Visible remains of St Mary's Abbey, York
All that remains today are the north and west walls, plus a few other remnants: the half-timbered Pilgrims' Hospitium , the West Gate and the 14th-century timber-framed Abbot's House (now called the King's Manor). The walls include interval towers along the north and west stretches, St Mary's Tower at the northwest corner and a polygonal water tower by the river. Much stone was removed from the site in the 18th century, in 1705 for St. Olave's Church, between 1717 and 1720 for Beverley Minster, and in 1736 for the landing stage of Lendal Ferry. [6]
The remains of the Abbey were described by Edwin Ridsdale Tate in a 1929 publication in which he asserted that: "Nowhere in England is there another spot so full of charm as York and where in York is there a more charming spot than the Gardens of the Philosophical Society, in which stand the beautiful fragments of that once powerful and noble monastery of St. Mary's. Here we must leave the venerable pile in the evening of its glory." [24]

Kirkstall Abbey is a ruined Cistercian monastery in Kirkstall, north-west of Leeds city centre in West Yorkshire, England. It is set in a public park on the north bank of the River Aire. It was founded c. 1152. It was disestablished during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII.
Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England. It is located approximately 3 miles south-west of Ripon in North Yorkshire, near to the village of Aldfield. Founded in 1132, the abbey operated for 407 years, becoming one of the wealthiest monasteries in England until its dissolution, by order of Henry VIII, in 1539.
Sherborne Abbey, otherwise the Abbey Church of St. Mary the Virgin, is a Church of England church in Sherborne in the English county of Dorset. It has been a Saxon cathedral (705–1075), a Benedictine abbey church (998–1539), and since 1539, a parish church.
Hailes Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey, in the small village of Hailes, two miles northeast of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, England. It was founded in 1246 as a daughter establishment of Beaulieu Abbey. The abbey was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539. Little remains of the abbey. It is a Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument.
Netley Abbey is a ruined late medieval monastery in the village of Netley near Southampton in Hampshire, England. The abbey was founded in 1239 as a house for monks of the austere Cistercian order. Despite royal patronage, Netley was never rich, produced no influential scholars nor churchmen, and its nearly 300-year history was quiet. The monks were best known to their neighbours for the generous hospitality they offered to travellers on land and sea.
Glastonbury Abbey was a monastery in Glastonbury, Somerset, England. Its ruins, a grade I listed building and scheduled ancient monument, are open as a visitor attraction.
Dunbrody Abbey is a former Cistercian monastery in County Wexford, Ireland. The cross-shaped church was built in the 13th century, and the tower was added in the 15th century. With a length of 59m the church is one of the longest in Ireland. The visitor centre is run by the current Marquess of Donegall and has one of only two full sized hedge mazes in Ireland.
The Abbey of Bury St Edmunds was once among the richest Benedictine monasteries in England, until the Dissolution of the monasteries in 1539. It is in the town that grew up around it, Bury St Edmunds in the county of Suffolk, England. It was a centre of pilgrimage as the burial place of the Anglo-Saxon martyr-king Saint Edmund, killed by the Great Heathen Army of Danes in 869. The ruins of the abbey church and most other buildings are merely rubble cores, but two very large medieval gatehouses survive, as well as two secondary medieval churches built within the abbey complex.
Leiston Abbey in Suffolk, England, was a religious house of Canons Regular following the Premonstratensian rule, dedicated to St. Mary. Founded in c. 1183 by Ranulf de Glanville, Chief Justiciar to King Henry II (1180-1189), it was originally built on a marshland isle near the sea, and was called "St Mary de Insula". Around 1363 the abbey suffered so much from flooding that a new site was chosen and it was rebuilt further inland for its patron, Robert de Ufford, 1st Earl of Suffolk (1298-1369). However, there was a great fire in c. 1379 and further rebuilding was necessary.
Vale Royal Abbey is a former medieval abbey and later country house in Whitegate England. The precise location and boundaries of the abbey are difficult to determine in today's landscape. The original building was founded c. 1270 by the Lord Edward, later Edward I for Cistercian monks. Edward had supposedly taken a vow during a rough sea crossing in the 1260s. Civil wars and political upheaval delayed the build until 1272, the year he inherited the throne. The original site at Darnhall was unsatisfactory, so was moved a few miles north to the Delamere Forest. Edward intended the structure to be on a grand scale—had it been completed it would have been the largest Cistercian monastery in the country—but his ambitions were frustrated by recurring financial difficulties.
The York Museum Gardens are botanic gardens in the centre of York, England, beside the River Ouse. They cover an area of 10 acres (4.0 ha) of the former grounds of St Mary's Abbey, and were created in the 1830s by the Yorkshire Philosophical Society along with the Yorkshire Museum which they contain.
Cleeve Abbey is a medieval monastery located near the village of Washford, in Somerset, England. It is a Grade I listed building and has been scheduled as an ancient monument.
Cirencester Abbey or St Mary's Abbey, Cirencester in Gloucestershire was founded as an Augustinian monastery in 1117 on the site of an earlier church, the oldest-known Saxon church in England, which had itself been built on the site of a Roman structure. The church was greatly enlarged in the 14th century with addition of an ambulatory to the east end. The abbot became mitred 1416. The monastery was suppressed in 1539 and presented to Roger Bassinge.
St John's Abbey, also called Colchester Abbey, was a Benedictine monastic institution in Colchester, Essex, founded in 1095. It was dissolved in 1539.
Keynsham Abbey located in Keynsham, Somerset, England, was a monastic abbey founded c. 1166 by William, Earl of Gloucester. The abbey was established as a house of Augustinian canons regular, and operated until the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539.
St Bees Priory is the parish church of St Bees, Cumbria, England. There is evidence for a pre-Norman religious site, and on this a Benedictine priory was founded by the first Norman Lord of Egremont William Meschin, and was dedicated by Archbishop Thurstan of York, sometime between 1120 and 1135.
Edwin Ridsdale Tate L.R.I.B.A (1862–1922) was a British antiquary, artist and architect based in York.
The Abbey of Saint Mary de Pratis, more commonly known as Leicester Abbey, was an Augustinian religious house in the city of Leicester, in the East Midlands of England. The abbey was founded in the 12th century by the Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester, and grew to become the wealthiest religious establishment within Leicestershire. Through patronage and donations the abbey gained the advowsons of countless churches throughout England, and acquired a considerable amount of land, and several manorial lordships. Leicester Abbey also maintained a cell at Cockerham Priory, in Lancashire. The Abbey's prosperity was boosted through the passage of special privileges by both the English Kings and the Pope. These included an exemption from sending representatives to parliament and from paying tithe on certain land and livestock. Despite its privileges and sizeable landed estates, from the late 14th century the abbey began to suffer financially and was forced to lease out its estates. The worsening financial situation was exacerbated throughout the 15th century and early 16th century by a series of incompetent, corrupt and extravagant abbots. By 1535 the abbey's considerable income was exceeded by even more considerable debts.
Walter Harvey Brook was an English antiquarian, artist and curator based in York.

McConnell, Republican Senate resist calls to 'do something' about gun violence
Republicans are trying to build support for more modest measures, including so-called red-flag bills.

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is resisting pressure to bring senators back from recess to address gun violence, taking a more measured approach that could very likely result in no legislation, despite wrenching calls to "do something" in the aftermath of back-to-back mass shootings.
President Trump is privately calling up senators — and publicly pushing for an expansion of background checks for firearms purchases — but McConnell knows those ideas have little Republican support. In fact, the White House threatened to veto a House-passed background checks bill earlier this year. As the nation reels from the frequency of shootings and their grave toll, McConnell's slow-walk is coming under criticism from those who want Congress to act.
On Wednesday, Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown made a plea to Trump during the president's visit to Dayton, where one of the mass shooting occurred, to "call on Sen. McConnell to bring the Senate back in session this week, to tell the Senate he wants the background checks bill that has already passed the House."
A group of House Democrats urged McConnell to immediately call the Senate back into session to consider the House-passed legislation. In Kentucky, where McConnell is recuperating from a weekend fall that left his shoulder fractured, activists have been demonstrating at his home and protesting at his downtown Louisville office.
Trump stays largely out of public view as he visits Dayton
"We are aggressively moving forward in pressing Leader Mitch McConnell to call the Senate back into session," wrote Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a letter this week to Democratic colleagues.
But none of it has moved the Republican Senate to act more swiftly after the shootings in Ohio and Texas over the weekend, which left 31 people dead and scores injured.
McConnell's office is declining comment, referring back to a short statement he issued late Monday saying he was tasking three Republican committee chairmen "to engage in bipartisan discussions of potential solutions."
In the meantime, Trump has been dialing up Senate Republicans about what is possible. He spoke at least three times with Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., about his bipartisan background check bill with Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., the GOP senator said.
Republican senators have been engaging in almost daily conference calls, and talking among themselves and the White House, as they try to figure out next steps, according to a Republican aide familiar with calls who discussed the private talks on condition of anonymity.
Trump continues to say there's "great appetite" for a background checks bill. "I think we can bring up background checks like we've never had before," he said before departing Washington.
But that is not the case, for now.
Even though one background checks bill was passed overwhelmingly by the Democratic-held House in February, it has scant support in the Senate.
The Toomey-Manchin bill had its greatest backing during a 2013 Senate vote, in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook school shooting, but it failed to reach the 60-vote threshold needed to advance.
Since then, Toomey and Maine Sen. Susan Collins are the only two Republicans who voted for the background checks bill in 2015 — the last time it was brought to the floor in the Senate.
But Toomey said he thinks sentiment in the Senate has moved toward the bill in recent years and he was heartened by Trump's "encouraging remarks," he tweeted Wednesday.
Instead, Republicans are trying to build support for more modest measures, including so-called red-flag bills from Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., that would allow friends and family to petition authorities to keep guns away from some people, as well as adjustments to the existing background checks system. But those efforts are also running into trouble from conservatives, who worry about due process and infringing on gun owners' rights.
They're also considering changes to the existing federal background checks system, modeled off the so-called fix-NICS bill that made improvements in the last session of Congress, as well as strengthening penalties for hate crimes, Republicans said.
While those efforts have bipartisan support, Democrats are unlikely to agree to them without consideration of the background checks bill.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Wednesday, "We Democrats are not going to settle for half-measures so Republicans can feel better and try to push the issue of gun violence off to the side."

Misano Edition of 2020 Aprilia RSV4 1000 RR & Tuono RR 1100 revealed
06/07/2020 - 16:30 | Aprilia RSV4, Aprilia Tuono, Aprilia, Bike news | Utkarsh
Aprilia makes fast bikes. There are no two ways about that. However, since it is an Italian brand, it also makes some of the best-looking motorcycles in the world. No other company could pull off the signature 3-piece headlamp set up that most of the Aprilia motorcycles have so brilliantly. Speaking of 3-piece headlamps, to stir things a bit, the two-wheeler giant has unveiled the Misano Edition of the 2020 Aprilia RSV4 1000 RR and 2020 Aprilia Tuono RR 1100.
Aprilia unveiled the Misano Edition of the 2020 Aprilia RSV4 1000 RR and 2020 Aprilia Tuono RR 1100 at Buttonwillow Raceway in California.
The new Misano Edition of both the motorcycles features special commemorative livery along with minor changes to enhance their performance. The paint scheme is to honour the brand's first Grand Prix win in the 250cc category in 1987 at the Misano circuit. The Aprilia race bike was piloted by Loris Reggiani.
Apart from the eye-catching livery, the Misano Edition of the 2020 Aprilia RSV4 1000 RR and 2020 Aprilia Tuono RR 1100 get a carbon-fibre front fender and a lithium-ion battery. While they might not reduce the overall weight of the motorcycles by a whole lot, anything that helps to shed off the extra grams in high-end performance bikes is worth the trouble, right?

Jenni and Chris who got married in the Galgorm Resort and Spa last summer had got in touch with Wedfest telling us they were planning an Owl themed Wedding and wanted us to create them some Owl themed wedding invitations. Their idea was to have two Owls (a boy Owl and a girl Owl) sitting on a branch on a tree, and for the style they wanted the design to look like it was hand stitched with a sewing needle so we added in some sewing and patchwork references to the design.
As you can see the Owl you need is love wedding invitations turned out really great looking.
For the inside of the invitations we continued the sewing and patchwork theme with a little quote the couple had chosen and worked it into the design as if it was sewn in. The right hand side of the inside then featured the main wedding invitation details.
The reverse side of the owl wedding invitations continued the sewing theme and featured the couples names and wedding date.
Here you can see the couple standing beside their amazing Owl themed wedding cake!! How cool does that look? With the Bride and Groom Owl cake toppers just to finish it all off perfectly.
If you love Owls, or Dogs or Cats, or Dinosaurs – whatever!! We at wedfest can bring your ideas for wedding stationery to life, so if you like what you see here and would like more information on what we can do for your wedding please click here to get in touch.
