The former hamlet and civil parish of Keresley
lay about 2½ miles north-west of Coventry on the
edge of the hilly country of north Warwickshire, and
contained the only ground in the county of the city
of Coventry over 500 feet. The hamlet of Keresley
was a detached part of the ancient parish of
St. Michael's, Coventry, and was recognized as a
civil parish in 1881. (fn. 23) The parish was in Foleshill
Union (later Rural District). Its area was 1,068
acres in 1891. In 1932 an area of about 100
acres in the southern tip of the parish was
transferred to Coventry, and the remaining
968 acres, with 56 acres of Coundon, became
the new civil parish of Keresley in Meriden Rural
District. (fn. 24)
In the late 19th century Keresley consisted of the
block of land formed by the valley of the Hall Brook
and the hills surrounding it, with a tongue of land
stretching south from the high ground to the headwaters of Springfield Brook and Radford Brook on
Keresley Heath. There were two settlements in the
parish, at Keresley Green in the north, in the valley
of a watercourse draining into the Hall Brook, and
at Keresley Heath in the south, along Tamworth or
Keresley Road, which formed the western boundary
of the parish. Keresley Heath is now part of Coventry.
In the early 19th century the area south of Tamworth Road between it and Brownshill Green Road
was shown as part of Keresley and not Coundon, (fn. 25)
but there is no other evidence that this was so.
A branch railway from Foleshill to the Coventry
Colliery crosses the north-east corner of the former
parish. The south and east of Keresley are occupied
by modern housing estates.
Keresley was first
mentioned in the early 12th century, when it was
among the chapelries granted by Earl Ranulf de
Gernon to Coventry Priory, (fn. 26) and the same earl
included land in Keresley in a grant to Liulph of
Brinklow. (fn. 27) Later in the century Earl Ranulf de
Blundeville gave 280 acres of wood and waste in
Exhall and Keresley to Coventry Priory. (fn. 28) In 1250
Roger and Cecily de Montalt retained the service
of the heirs of Robert Tuschet in Keresley when
they granted the remainder of the district to
Coventry Priory. (fn. 29)
Liulph's holding does not seem to have remained
subject to the manor of Cheylesmore. It descended
to his son and grandson, both named Nicholas, in
the late 12th century, (fn. 30) and to Christina daughter of
Nicholas (probably Nicholas (II)) and her husband
Henry d'Aubigny (fn. 31) the younger. It was granted by
Henry to Geoffrey de Langley of Shortley in 1244, (fn. 32)
and descended to Walter de Langley in 1274. (fn. 33)
Walter's estates seem to have been broken up about
1280, (fn. 34) and thereafter there is no direct descent for
this Keresley holding.
What seems to be part of the Langley estate
reappeared in 1332, in a grant by John Basset of a
house and a carucate of land in Keresley, to Henry
Baxter of Coventry. (fn. 35) The tenant of this holding was
John Hockley, who had acquired land in Keresley
from John son of Walter Holland. (fn. 36) From Hockley
it passed (with several reversions) to the Chatel
(Chatill) family of Keresley and Coundon, (fn. 37) to
Thomas Brinklow, and from him in 1351 to Richard
Freebern. (fn. 38) During Freebern's tenancy several additions were made to the holding. (fn. 39) Through Freebern's heir, Maud, and her husband, Peter Ripon, the
holding was acquired by John Wymondswold and
others before 1405. (fn. 40) Wymondswold also acquired
the freehold which he claimed to hold by right of his
wife, Katharine, daughter of Guy Merinton. (fn. 41) John
Wymondswold granted all or part of the holding to
Nicholas Dudley, (fn. 42) whose widow, Joan, still had part,
apparently in dower, in 1410-11. (fn. 43) The main
holding had by then been resumed by William
Wymondswold, who was also occupying several
pieces of land on Coventry Priory's estate which
had descended with it. (fn. 44) The priory bought, or
proposed to buy, the reversion of Wymondswold's
estate, but the arrangement seems never to have
been effective. (fn. 45) Wymondswold and feoffees held the
estate (and added to it) (fn. 46) until 1436-7, when it was
granted to Richard Sharp and other feoffees. (fn. 47) From
at least 1410-11 the principal house on the holding
was known as the Hall Place. (fn. 48)
Thereafter there is a gap in the evidence until what
may be presumed to be the same holding reappears
in the hands of Richard Braytoft in 1470-1. (fn. 49) After
the death of Edward Braytoft, various members of
the Braytoft family transferred the estate between
1519 and 1529 to the Queen's College, Oxford. (fn. 50)
It seems finally to have passed to the college under
the will, dated 1529, of Nicholas Mylys, a fellow of
the college, who was murdered later in the same
year. (fn. 51) The estate was then called the manor of
Keresley, with a house, 100 acres of arable, 280
acres of meadow, pasture, and wood, and £1 10s. in
rents. (fn. 52) In the 1840s it was one of the two principal
estates in Keresley, and consisted of the Manor
House Farm at Hall Yard with 197 acres of land. (fn. 53)
The college still owned the farm with some 137
acres in 1966. (fn. 54)
The holding of the heirs of Robert Tuschet, which
was reserved by the Montalts in their grant of 1250, (fn. 55)
remained subject to Cheylesmore manor. It can be
identified with the land held by the Keresley family
in 1410-11 from a certain Hugh Tochet. (fn. 56) The
Keresleys were apparently holding of the Tuschets in
the 13th century, but were regarded locally as the
lords of the estate. A Thomas Keresley held land
there in 1247 (fn. 57) and 1275 (fn. 58) and another Thomas
Keresley was said to hold of the manor of Cheylesmore in 1335. (fn. 59)
These last two references seem, however, to be
vague and uncertain. Surviving charters, many of
them undated, suggest that the heyday of the
Keresleys was from about 1240 to about 1290, when
either a single long-lived Thomas, or two successive
Thomases, were known as Lord Thomas, or lord
of Keresley. (fn. 60) About 1294 Roger Bythebrook, then
said to be the son of Thomas formerly lord of
Keresley, granted all his land in Keresley to Henry
Pistor of Coventry. (fn. 61) Robert son of Henry Pistor
was holding land of Coventry Priory in the early14th-century rental of Keresley, (fn. 62) but the Pistors
disappear in the mid 14th century.
In 1361 the tenant of Cheylesmore manor was
said to be Isabel, heir of Philip Stowell. (fn. 63) Shortly
after, she was succeeded by the Clerks; Richard the
son and Agnes the widow of Henry Clerk were the
Cheylesmore tenants in 1370, (fn. 64) and Agnes Clerk
held the land formerly Robert Pistor's in the priory's
late-14th-century rental. (fn. 65) In 1410-11 John son of
Richard Clerk held two pieces of land from the
priory, including the site of a house, lying near his
other land, which had once been the manor of
Thomas Keresley. (fn. 66) Thereafter the descent is
unknown, but the location of the Clerk holding in
1410-11, near Hall Hill and Ward Waste, suggests
that the house and fields were in the north-west
corner of the parish. (fn. 67) If this were so, the estate
may be identifiable with the Keresley House estate,
held by the Revd. William Thickins in the mid 19th
century. (fn. 68)
In the early 17th century George Paget was said
to hold his land in Keresley by knight service of the
Cheylesmore court. (fn. 69) Thomas Paget appeared
among the four or five freeholders, including the
Queen's College, who were represented at the
Cheylesmore court at this time. (fn. 70) In 1659 only two
estates were paying dues to Cheylesmore manor: the
Queen's College tenant, and the heirs of Oliver
Wolfe. (fn. 71) The antiquary, John Pointer (1668-1754),
held land in the parish in the 1720s and called
himself lord of the manor. (fn. 72)
Coventry Priory's estate in Keresley was based
on the grant of the remainder of Keresley, except
the two older holdings, in 1250. (fn. 73) Most of the 280
acres granted in the 12th century became the manor
of Newlands in Exhall; (fn. 74) only four Exhall tenants
held land in Keresley in 1410-11. (fn. 75) The grant of
1250 did not consist of completely unexploited
waste; reference to the Earl's wood, Ranulf's land,
and 'the lord's land', before 1250, suggests that the
earl had an estate there. (fn. 76) But despite the priory's
claims to lordship, (fn. 77) its estate seems never to have
been regarded as of manorial status, as were the
Hall Place and Hall Hill holdings.
As in Coundon and Foleshill, the ancient open
fields and the principal hamlet were occupied by
tenants of the older estates, while Coventry Priory's
tenants were either already tenants of the other
estates, or were living in crofts away from the
hamlet. (fn. 78) It may have been because of the comparative vigour of the other estates that the priory did
not develop its holding in Keresley during the later
Middle Ages as it did, for example, in Coundon and
Sowe. (fn. 79) Only two or three pieces of land were bought
or otherwise acquired for the pittancer. (fn. 80) In 1542,
after the Dissolution, the estate was sold to the
speculators Andrewes and Chamberlain. (fn. 81) It then
consisted of a field and moor in hand, a house with
Hall Hills Wood, woods and fields in Keresley and
Coundon held by Henry Over, and seven other
holdings. (fn. 82) There was no manor-house, and no one
later claimed to hold a manor on the former priory
land. Parts of the estate may have been broken up
and sold piecemeal. Some of the land seems to have
been in the hands of Joan widow of Richard Treen
in 1620. (fn. 83) In 1583-4 Richard Over sold land,
formerly part of the priory's estate and apparently
in Keresley, to Edward Burrows, who may have
been acting for the Coventry drapers' company, (fn. 84)
but the descent of this property cannot be traced.
The drapers' company held Simon's Grove in
Keresley in 1681. (fn. 85)
The other large estate in Keresley in the 1840s
was that of T. B. Troughton, with the New House
at the extreme south of the hamlet and 203 acres
attached to it. (fn. 86) The origins of Troughton's estate
are obscure, but some evidence suggests that it
represents the remains of Coventry Priory's holding.
The estate occupied much of the former priory
waste in the southern tip of the parish and along
Tamworth Road, and covered the area of the field,
Netherscotshill, which the priory had had in hand
in 1410-11. (fn. 87) Part of Troughton's estate, and Lamb's
Scotch Hill farm immediately to the north, were the
only parts of Keresley on which the tithes were
already merged in 1847, (fn. 88) an arrangement which
may have been made by the priory. When the New
House estate was first mentioned in the mid 17th
century its occupier was a Mr. Stroud who, as would
be natural for the tenant of former priory land, was
not among those paying dues to the Cheylesmore
court at that time. (fn. 89) By the late 19th century the
New House had been given the name of the Moat
House, apparently through confusion with the farm
in Coundon nearby. (fn. 90) The Keresley Moat House
became the residence of several prominent Coventry
citizens, among them P. J. Muntz and Sidney Cash. (fn. 91)
It was demolished about 1930 when the area was
developed for building.
In the 15th century Holy Trinity Church,
Coventry, acquired some small pieces of land which
had been John Braunston's in 1410-11. (fn. 92) There was
later a dispute between Coventry Priory and
Coventry corporation over the ownership of this
land. (fn. 93) Holy Trinity Church Estate received a rentcharge from property in Keresley in the 18th and
19th centuries. (fn. 94)
Land in Keresley was bought by William Wigston
in 1529 to augment the endowment of Greyfriars
(or Ford's) Hospital; it was called the Pisford's
Hospital estate in 1848. The land, which in the 16th
century included North Croft, Tom's Field, and
land in Leighton fields, (fn. 95) had probably never been
part of the priory's estate. The close called the Long
field, included in the endowment of Swillington's
Charity in the mid 16th century, was also not part of
the priory's estate, though held in 1553 by John
Proctor, one of the tenants of former priory land in
1542. (fn. 96) Land in Keresley was also included in the
endowment of Moore's Charity in 1731, in the
Meriden parish charity, and for a time in Keresley
parish charity. (fn. 97)
In Keresley the county of
the city of Coventry spread farthest into the high,
wooded country of north-central Warwickshire.
Keresley was not mentioned in 1086, and when it
appeared in the 12th century it was as a woodland
clearing surrounded by assarts and waste. The
earliest charters were concerned with Keresley
moor, the Northcroft, and the Eastcroft. (fn. 98)
The shape of the hamlet or parish was unusual.
To the west the boundary with Coundon ran along a
ridge, to the north Corley occupied the high ground
around Burrow Hill, and to the north-east the
boundary with Exhall and Foleshill roughly
followed a low watershed. Keresley consisted of the
valleys of the Hall Brook and its tiny tributary in
Watery Lane, with Hounds Hill between them, and
formed a very rough rectangle about 1½ mile from
east to west, and half a mile wide. But to the south,
after beginning to follow a watershed along Penny
Park Lane towards Springfield Hill, the boundary
turned sharply to the south, along Whitmore Park
Lane (now Halford Lane and Sadler Road) for a
mile to join the Coundon boundary on the Corley or
Tamworth road. This created a finger of land
pointing from the main body of the parish towards
Coventry. This projection, from its situation, would
seem to be more naturally included in Whitmore.
Coventry Priory's demesne field in the 15th century
lay in this area, (fn. 99) with its demesne fields in Coundon
and Whitmore on either side, and it is possible that
as the main part of Keresley was dominated by two
ancient lay estates, this might have been of some
advantage to the priory.
In the early 15th century the hall of the estate later
belonging to the Queen's College, which probably
represents the estate of Liulph of Brinklow, stood in
the middle of the parish where the road, then called
the Astley road, crossed the Hall Brook. (fn. 1) There was
a hamlet on the Astley road about a quarter of a
mile to the north, overlooking the rivulet which joins
the Hall Brook in Watery Lane. These houses were
along a piece of common called the Green or Hall
Green. An irregular group of ancient open fields lay
on either side of the hamlet on the lower hill slopes.
The ridge in the west of the parish, which was
followed by the Corley road, and the high ridges in
the north-west were largely wooded, though broken
by crofts and assarts in the 15th century. (fn. 2)
There was great variety in the nature of the
Keresley fields. The field called Leightons to the
east of Keresley Green remained open until the 16th
century. (fn. 3) References to selions and headlands in the
Longfield suggest that this was an open field in the
13th century, (fn. 4) but it had been inclosed by the 15th
century. (fn. 5) Other pieces lay in acre strips but not in
regular fields, for instance, the pieces adjoining the
Steyneswell, adjoining Keresley stream, above
'Keresley castle', and in Ward Waste. These may
have been the results of communal assarting. Small
pieces of this kind might be inclosed, like an acre
inclosed with trees at Northcrofthead. (fn. 6) Some of the
bigger fields were divided, not between many
tenants, but between two or three, as were, for
instance, the Northcroft and the Eastcroft in the
12th century, (fn. 7) and the Ashcroft in the early 15th
century. (fn. 8)
There is evidence of the steady progress of
assarting in Keresley. In the 14th- and early-15thcentury rentals there was a distinction made between
an old tenure, and a new tenure of new land or
waste. Shortly before the earlier of the rentals, many
of the tenants had been given small pieces of a third,
half, or whole acre, in exchange for the surrender of
their commoning rights; many of the pieces were
in a bundle of strips at Northcrofthead or Northcroftend. (fn. 9) In 1410-11 the priory had in hand twenty
acres in the wastes of Keresley and Coundon which
tenants had held, but which were then lying uncultivated. (fn. 10) The priory itself was clearing and
inclosing land. A field which it acquired in 1350 still
had trees growing on it. (fn. 11) In 1361 the priory was
accused of inclosing Hallhills and Longacre, which
should have been common every third year and in
every year after the harvest. (fn. 12) There was, then, a
three-course rotation, though there were not three
distinct fields; this reference also shows that arable
farming was taking place in closes at this time. It was
thought necessary to note in the rental of 1410-11
that the priory's waste called Ward Waste was lying
in common only because it had not been inclosed. (fn. 13)
Assarting did not stop in the 15th century. The
Speke holding at the Dissolution included closes
and pieces of arable in Coundon Wood, (fn. 14) and in the
early 18th century land was still being cleared in
Thievestake Wood. (fn. 15)
The many small pieces of arable and waste of the
early 15th century seem to have been included in
larger closes by the mid 16th century, (fn. 16) and what
open field remained disappeared soon after; the two
acres 'lying upon Leightons', with which Greyfriars
Hospital was endowed in 1529, had become a close
in Leighton Fields by 1724, and Leighton Lane
Close by 1833. (fn. 17) There was no reference to any
formal inclosure.
Coventry Priory did not adopt a vigorous policy
at Keresley in the late Middle Ages, as it did on
several of its other estates in the district. It acquired
little new land, (fn. 18) and did not actively support the
development, by inclosure and engrossment of
holdings, of semi-manorial farms like the Moathouses of Coundon and Sowe. (fn. 19) This may have been
because the rival landowners in Keresley were more
watchful and active than elsewhere.
In the priory's earliest rental, of about 1330, there
were 28 tenants paying a total of about £7 7s. rents;
in the rental of about 1370 there were 22 tenants
paying £6 6s. rents; and in 1410-11 there were 24
tenants paying about £6 3s. The biggest tenants,
who were paying rents of 10s., 11s., or 13s. in 1330,
were paying similar sums in 1410-11. (fn. 20) The priory
had made no attempt to take advantage, as it had
elsewhere, of the opportunities provided by the
Black Death.
First examination suggests that there was a
greater change between 1410-11 and 1539. Though
the known rents still amounted to only £7 2s. at the
Dissolution, the number of tenants had fallen from
24 to eleven, all but one paying over 5s. rent. (fn. 21) This
seems to indicate a major change of policy, to larger
holdings; but a further examination shows that there
were already ten tenants paying over 5s. in 1410-11,
and that these holdings had remained relatively
stable while the smaller holdings disappeared. The
largest holding on the priory's estate in Keresley in
1539 paid only £1 13s. 8d. rent, compared with
£3 13s. 4d. paid for the Sowe Moathouse and
£9 8s. 4d. for the Coundon Moathouse, (fn. 22) and with
the £2 8s. which the tenant of Greyfriars Hospital in
Keresley paid for his holding. (fn. 23)
In Keresley, as in Coundon, the larger closes were
sometimes used for grazing cattle for the Coventry
market. Among the various Coventry merchants
who held land of the priory was the butcher, William
Binley. (fn. 24) In 1374 Adam de Keresley was involved in
a suit about oxen. (fn. 25) Members of this Keresley
family, though apparently not connected with the
earlier lords, were influential citizens and merchants
of Coventry in the late 14th and early 15th centuries.
Adam de Keresley seems to have lived in the
village. (fn. 26)
Evidence of the population of Keresley is unsatisfactory. There were ten or twelve taxpayers in
the early 14th century, (fn. 27) and again in 1524. (fn. 28) As
already stated, there were between 20 and 30
tenants on Coventry Priory's estate in the 14th and
early 15th centuries, but there appear to have been
no more than ten houses. (fn. 29) The only comparisons
with the lay estate are provided by unreliable lists
in deeds, giving ten houses on Henry Baxter's estate
in 1332, and thirteen on William Wymondswold's
estate in 1415. (fn. 30) Obviously some of, and possibly all,
the tenants held land from both estates, so that the
two groups of tenants may only represent one group
of about 30 people. As Keresley was part of St.
Michael's parish, there are not the occasional
estimates of parishioners or ratepayers after the
Dissolution that are available for some other districts,
and by 1801 the growth of Keresley Heath had
obscured that element in the population which
represented the ancient village. There were then 46
houses. (fn. 31)
The inactive policy of Coventry Priory in Keresley
was probably still influencing the character of the
parish in the 19th century. The New House estate,
apparently the major relic of the priory's holding,
did not acquire manorial status. Nor did the Queen's
College estate, with its absent corporate landlord
and comparatively humble tenants, develop into a
centre of influence in the village as in their different
ways did Ansty Hall and Stivichall Hall. (fn. 32) In the
mid 19th century there were a dozen other freeholders with over twenty acres, most of them with
farmsteads such as Neale's Leighton's Farm (later
Rookery Farm), Lamb's Scotch Hill, Mogg's Springfield Cottage (later Springfield House and demolished about 1950), and Camswell's Durham
House Farm. (fn. 33) As in Coundon, the availability of
small freehold properties and the pleasant scenery
made Keresley an attractive location for large
residential houses with more or less spurious
manorial claims. The New House itself and Keresley
House, both of which may have had genuine medieval origins, became just such residences. (fn. 34) The
New House (later called the Moat House) was
demolished about 1930. The present Keresley House
was built or rebuilt in the late 18th century as a
stylish 'gentleman's residence' and enlarged to
almost double its size in the early 20th century.
Other houses of this type, dating from the 19th
century, were Keresley Villa (later called Ravenswood) at Keresley Green, Keresley Manor,
Keresley Hall, and Queens Wood Cottage on
Tamworth Road, and The Limes. Another house,
Keresley Grange, was in fact in Coundon parish. (fn. 35)
The two roads which have formed the topographical backbone of the parish appeared early in
its history, and have always followed their present
courses. The Astley way, now Bennetts Road, was
mentioned in the allotment of woodland to Coventry
Priory in the 12th century, (fn. 36) and the positions of the
manor-house and Keresley Green suggest that the
road is at least as early as the settlement. The Tamworth road, or Corley way, was mentioned in the
early 14th century, (fn. 37) and was of sufficient importance
to attract highwaymen in 1357. (fn. 38) As with the Maxstoke way in Coundon, it was not the Astley way
through the village which was developed as the
main route north-west from Coventry, but the
Tamworth road on the parish boundary, with the
result that the main road, though important, has had
less influence on the character of Keresley than on
several of the neighbouring parishes. (fn. 39)
Lanes which have existed since at least 1410-11 are
Hall Hill Lane, Thompsons Lane, then called
Heyne Lane, and Sadler Road and Halford Lane,
then called Scothill Lane and later Whitmore Park
Lane. The Astley road was probably called Bennetts
Lane shortly after 1410-11, for the Bennett family
had a holding on the Corley boundary at that time. (fn. 40)
Fivefield Lane, Watery Lane, Penny Park Lane,
and Sandpits Lane, and the locality Springfield Hill,
all seem to be ancient, (fn. 41) but cannot be identified
by a medieval name. Other medieval lanes were
Jannylane, Gupynlane, Carterslane, Masonlane,
Naylestonlane, Stokeslane, and Ludeyatelane, most
of them formed from tenants' surnames. (fn. 42)
The Tamworth road was turnpiked in 1762. The
road was then used for bringing coal into Coventry
from the north, and it was claimed that the road
would enable coal to be sold in Coventry at 4d. a
cwt., in comparison with 7d. then being charged by
the Bedworth mines. There was a toll-gate at the
southern tip of the hamlet. (fn. 43)
It may have been the increased traffic on the
Tamworth road which began the development of a
new village centre on Keresley Heath, at the junction
with the Astley road, in the late 18th century. (fn. 44)
There has been said to have been a traditional
rivalry between Keresley Heath and Keresley
Green, a mile to the north, but the tradition must be
comparatively recent, and Keresley Green is much
the more ancient village. High Street at Keresley
Heath, and the Old Shepherd and Shepherdess Inn,
were in existence by the early 19th century. (fn. 45) By the
end of 1838 there was an Independent chapel there
with a Sunday school attached for the children of
working men, (fn. 46) and the new church of St. Thomas,
Keresley-with-Coundon, built on a site north of
High Street, was consecrated in 1847. (fn. 47) A National
School was built at Keresley Heath in 1852. (fn. 48) Before
1887 New Road, the post office, and the Old Bell
Inn had appeared; later in the century came a new
post office and the recreation ground, and early in
the 20th century, the infants' school, a village
institute, and allotments. (fn. 49) Keresley Green remained
rural in character. Besides the farms there were only
inns - the 'Wheel' in 1848 and the 'Hare and
Hounds' in 1887 - blacksmiths and wheelwrights,
and some large residential houses. (fn. 50) The Congregational church was built in 1906. (fn. 51) There was also
an inn, the 'Fox Chase', near Keresley Hall in the
Apparently because of the comparative rise of the
Heath, there was some confusion in local terminology
in the 19th century. Keresley Green itself was sometimes called Far or Lower Green, and the name of
the Green transferred to the houses at Springfield
Hill. (fn. 52) There were in fact until 1848 strips of common
along most of the roads. The inclosure award
named the one at Springfield Hill, Sand Pit Green;
that at the manor-house, Ash Green; that along
Fivefield Lane, Simons Green; and that on Tamworth Road, Golden Green; the two latter were
ancient names. (fn. 53) A strip of such common survives
at the junction of Tamworth Road and Keresley
Green Road.
It seems to have been to the Heath, not the Green,
that ribbon weaving spread north from Radford at
the end of the 18th century. Keresley workmen were
involved with Radford men in the riotous 'election'
of Cobbler Sammons in 1802. (fn. 54) The population of
312 in Keresley in 1801 was roughly equally divided
between agriculture and handicrafts. (fn. 55) In 1818 there
were 55 looms and 73 workers over the age of 10. (fn. 56)
Weaving seems to have declined in the 1830s, as in
other villages, and there was some distress. In 1838
it was said that children were often kept away from
the Sunday school by want of clothing. (fn. 57) But the
total population of Keresley did not, as it did in
other villages, fall at that time, possibly because of
the residential development. Another 19th-century
local industry, connected with ribbon weaving,
was bead work for the trimming manufacturers of
Coventry. (fn. 58) Many village women also took in
laundry, presumably from the big houses of the
district, (fn. 59) a tradition which survived into the early
20th century, when excessive laundry waste from a
laundry at Keresley was polluting the Hall Brook. (fn. 60)
The population of Keresley rose steadily to 567 in
1861, after which it fell as elsewhere with the extinction of the weaving industry. It did not pass this
figure again until 1911 when it stood at 689. (fn. 61)
The first shaft of the Coventry Colliery was sunk
in 1911. (fn. 62) The colliery's main shafts are just outside
the north-east boundary of Keresley on Newland
House Farm in Exhall, but the buildings, the branch
railway, and other workings have straddled the
boundary on to part of the former open fields called
Leightons. The first shaft reached the seam of the
Warwickshire Thick Coal in 1917, and it was
estimated that there could be an annual production
of 1½ million tons for at least a century. (fn. 63) The
Coventry Colliery has been said to be one of the most
modern in the country.
The opening of the colliery led to a curious
reversal in attitudes in the parish. Prosperity, which
had moved from the agricultural centre of the parish
at the Green, to the outskirts of Coventry at the
Heath in the 19th century, now moved to the colliery
area north of the Green. Another centre of population grew up at the junction of Thompsons Lane
and Bennetts Road, most of the houses in fact
being in Exhall parish. A commentator in 1938
could say that the parish was in two halves, Old
Keresley or Keresley Heath, and Keresley Green
around the colliery, which was mainly modern. (fn. 64)
The colliery provided a sports ground, park, and
other social facilities on its own property, and helped
other local institutions. The Church of England mission room in Fivefield Road was replaced, with the
help of the colliery company, by a permanent building
in 1925. (fn. 65) The Congregational church was also enlarged, in 1924, and a Sunday school built in 1928. (fn. 66)
But this pattern of development in its turn did not
remain undisturbed. After 1928 the tide of Coventry
suburban housing swept into the parish, leaving
housing estates along Penny Park Road and Watery
Lane in the east, where a Coventry corporation
transport garage was also built, and between
Halford Lane and Bennetts Road in the south. There
was also more building on both sides of Tamworth
Road in Coundon and Keresley, and hostels were
opened for factory workers during the Second World
War. (fn. 67) Two of the large Victorian houses were
acquired for public purposes: Keresley Hall, which
was sold to the Coventry and Warwickshire Hospital in 1927 for use as a convalescent home, became a branch of the hospital itself in 1942 and
more buildings were added. (fn. 68) Keresley Manor
became a children's home and reception centre. (fn. 69)
The former Golden Green farm-house, a late-18thcentury building in Sandpits Lane, was in use in
1964 as a nurses' home.
Partly because the parish was largely unaffected
by the Coventry boundary extension Acts of 1927
and 1931, and partly because of planning regulations
since the Second World War, most of north and west
Keresley remains rural. Pikethorne, Hall Yard, and
Bunsons woods, survivals of the medieval waste,
remain, as do Durham House, Thompson's Cottage,
and other farms. Only a few scattered buildings have
survived from before the 19th century and these
are mostly at Keresley Green. In Sandpits Lane is
Akon House, a substantial timber-framed building
probably of the 17th century. A brick addition, now
known as Beechwood Cottages, dates from the early
19th century. To the east of Akon House, Cottage
Farm has an early-19th-century farm-house. Keresley
Green, despite the proximity of the colliery and the
Watery Lane estates, retains some village character,
and there was still an active and distinctive community there at a recent date. (fn. 70)
Keresley was part of
Cheylesmore manor. In the Middle Ages all tenants
attended the Cheylesmore courts, but later there
were only leet courts for freeholders. Tithingmen
were elected in the court in the 14th century, (fn. 71) and
tithingmen and a constable in the 17th century. (fn. 72) In
the 18th century constables were appointed by a
hamlet meeting, (fn. 73) and in the 19th century an overseer and other officers were elected at Lady Day.
The hamlet was then in Foleshill Union and later
Foleshill Rural District. (fn. 74) A curious effect of the
creation of the joint ecclesiastical parish in 1848 was
that Coundon and Keresley had joint parochial
officers, though for civil purposes they were in
different rural districts. (fn. 75) Keresley has had a parish
council since 1894. In the Coventry boundary
extension of 1932 a small part of northern Coundon
was added to Keresley, and the southern tip of
Keresley included in Coventry; and with the dissolution of Foleshill Rural District at the same time,
Keresley was transferred to Meriden Rural District. (fn. 76)
ANONYMOUS CHARITY. In 1833 it was reported
that 20s. had for many years been given to the poor
of Keresley as a charge on the Bell Close in Keresley.
This charge had been mentioned in 1744, when the
property was divided into two closes, Ecle Close
and Poor's Piece, and again in 1819; but had not
been paid since about 1821. (fn. 77) In 1875 also nothing
was received from this charity. (fn. 78) By 1910 the
Warwickshire Coal Company had discovered a
possible liability to pay the 20s. charged on 'Eccles
Closes'. No application had been made for the
money, payment of which could not by then be
legally enforced, (fn. 79) and the charity apparently lapsed
BOHUN'S CHARITY. See p. 408.
MOORE'S BEQUEST. For benefits received by the
tenants of charity property at Keresley see p. 408.
THE DIANA VENABLES VERNON CHARITY. By
declaration dated 1926 Mr. and Mrs. Venables
Vernon, of Keresley Manor, created a trust, in
memory of their daughter Diana, with the £90
which she had possessed at the time of her death,
in favour of poor children of Keresley and Coundon.
This sum was invested in £161 10s. stock yielding
£4 a year. Distribution apparently ceased for a time
in the 1930s, and the charity's object was then
thought in the parish to be the purchase of books
for confirmation candidates. After 1939, however,
the terms of the trust were regularly carried out, and
in 1960 the income was being applied in yearly
grants to poor children. (fn. 80)

We've all heard warnings, yet many of us keep gaining weight. More than half of American adults are overweight or obese, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Your BMI gives a fairly accurate assessment of how much of your body is composed of fat.
Keeping extra weight off requires effort and commitment, just as losing weight does.
Although people generally gain weight when they stop smoking, you can reduce your chances of adding extra pounds by taking steps to prevent it.
Between the late 30s and late 40s, it's not uncommon for both men and women to gain 10 pounds.
Given the chronic diseases and conditions associated with obesity and the fact that obesity is difficult to treat, prevention is extremely important.
The majority of dieters regain the weight they lose within five years. But they could avoid doing so by gradually changing their eating and exercise habits. Your approach to weight loss should be to make changes you can keep up for the rest of your life.
In today's society, there's much confusion over what constitutes a healthy weight. Here are some ways to find out where you stand on the weight issue.
It's important to note that it's not just how much extra body fat a person has, but where it is stored on the body that determines how risky the extra pounds are.

Wolverines open season against Central Michigan
Updated On: Aug 31 2013 04:35:06 PM EDT
It's a different kind of Michigan offense on display today as the Wolverines open their season against Central Michigan.
Quarterback Denard Robinson now plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars. In his place, Devin Gardner figures to take more snaps under center and give the ball to the running backs more often.
The game started at 3:30 p.m. and the Wolverines took an early lead in the first quarter.
At the start of the second the score was 21 to 3.

Washington, DC – The American Gas Association (AGA) today released the following statement on the introduction of two bipartisan energy bills that would alleviate our nation's energy crisis by offering reachable solutions:
"AGA commends Reps. Neil Abercrombie (D-HI) and John Peterson (R-PA) for their sponsorship of the National Conservation, Environment and Energy Independence Act (H.R. 6709). It encourages domestic natural gas and oil production by repealing the moratorium on the Outer Continental Shelf. New royalty revenues are used for conservation, efficiency and renewable energy. Additionally, it increases funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program and promotes research for other clean energy sources and environmental restoration. This legislation outlines common sense solutions to help meet our energy and environmental needs without forcing taxpayers to shoulder the costs.
"In another positive development, a group of moderate Democrats led by Rep. Gene Green (D-TX) has introduced H.R. 6670, the Long-Term Energy Assurance and Security Enhancement Act of 2008 (LEASE Act), which also seeks to increase domestic energy production and fund research for new energy technologies.
"The simple fact that energy issues are now front and center before Congress is promising. After months of stagnation, AGA is pleased that Democratic and Republican lawmakers have found common ground. Any meaningful legislation addressing our nation's short- and long-term energy challenges is going to require support from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, and the consensus reached on these bills shows great progress. With the introduction of these bills today, AGA is optimistic that comprehensive legislation for a more secure energy future is one step closer to becoming reality."

Aug 22, 2012Too busy playing it to write a proper review. Sorry. I mean, I just pulled away long enough for a round to start, and got killed trying to think of what to write. Worth $15, easy.
Aug 22, 2012Can someone tell me why there is an elitist PC gamer here wishing console gamers can't enjoy CS? Crawl back to your basement thanks. Anyway the game is really fun, fast, and fluid. Pure skill and tons of fun to play. You can even use a mouse and keyboard.
Aug 22, 2012Played it for about 4 hours last night, couldn't put it down. It's everything you love about Counter Strike, just better. If you're tired of Call of Duty style game play and other arcade style shooters give this a try. For $15 it's a steal if you're even moderately interested in FPS's.
Aug 22, 2012It's CS so you know what to expect. Quick matches. Intense difficulty. High tension. Some of the most classic FPS moments in video gaming history. CS does not need to change the formula is perfect and Valve knows this. The CS game for 2012.
Aug 23, 2012Over all, I really do enjoy this game. Its very fast paced and intense! If you want a more casual Call of Duty, this is perfect for you. The rounds are quick, so if you die you will only have to wait a maximum wait of about 90 seconds or so. I hope they add more game modes though because the 4 or 5 already there are pretty similar. Maybe a regular Team Deathmatch with a kill limit of 50 or so. But its still fine the way it is. This game is easily worth $15, heck I'd buy it even for $20 or $25.… Expand
Aug 22, 2012Amazing Work of Valve, simple, clean and fun. Far, Far away of the call of duty shooter style, this game its really addictive and fun.
Fast game play, lot of weapons and amazing game modes.
Just deal for $15 DLS
Sep 8, 2012I buy it first for PC and later for my PS3 - PC version have mass cheaters. Dont buy it for PC. So i buy the PS3 version and it works fine with Mouse and Keyboard! I will never buy a Shooter on PC now. Cheaters killed PC-MPShoter Gaming.
Aug 22, 2012Great FPS game that takes a lot of skill to master but the reward is fantastic. Killing another player is so satisfying because you know you have to work for every kill. Highly recommended.
Aug 23, 2012You know how it goes. I think we all predicted that this game wouldn't be as welcomed as other game. As popular as Valve is, they're not mainstream. And we all know mainstream kids love to cherish their mainstream games, which I don't care about that stuff. I like good games. Simple. And this is a good game. This game on ps3 runs just as good as the portal 2 ps3. We know Valve had trouble the ps3 and the orange box. Online matches are fine, controls feel smooth, AND you can hook up mouse and keyboard. Basically this: take the original CS, update the graphics, add more games and maps, and wham. Why does this work? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Plus we get this on console. This game is intense, the franchise still does NOT hold your hand. My only problems are the amount of recycling materials. It still has a lot of Half-Life 2 sounds and textures, and the notifications are exactly the Left for Dead 2 ones. Also since it isn't PC, no one trillion mods. But those problems are minor. So, for $15, I shouldn't even have to tell you to buy this game. If Valve keeps making games like this, I can wait for HL2:EP3. Yes, I just said this. No, really.… Expand
Aug 23, 2012Awesome FPS! Reminds me of the old days of CSS. If you enjoy a very fast and addicting online don't hesitate picking this game up. This is for only FPS players since there is no single player. Everything about this time is top notch. Graphics, Controls and Sound. The maps are by far some of the best designed in any game. 9/10
Aug 26, 2012If you can't stand skillless games like cod and bf3 that hold your hand for every kill and then some you will want to make the switch to counter strike global offensive. No perks, no kill streaks, no aim assist and no mainstream crap you find in today's shooters. If you suck you suck, the game has a learning curve and you will not be Rambo from day one if you are new to the series. CS has been the most competitve skill based shooter for over a decade and is a welcome replacement for hardcore gamers but casuals will most likely be turned off instantly.… Expand
Nov 4, 2012Thank you to whoever made the decision to bring this game to the PS3 console(by way of psn). Worth the price. This game is immediate fun and is challenging in a way which can catch u you by surprise. You have to be on point or the AI will light you up, even on medium difficulty. Very fair game this one. I highly recommend. Other game likes: Skyrim, Socom4, Res Evil, CodMW, AC, Rainbow Vegas 2.
Aug 24, 2012Don't be fooled by how simple Counter-Strike: GO seems at first. It offers some of the best tactical gameplay and can be overwhelmingly addictive. If your no stranger to one of the most popular FPS in recent history, prepare to re-enter the exciting fast paced action once again, this time in High Definition. Valve has lived up to their standards and delivered a visually crisp game that has not only been beautifully polished and remastered, but has done it extremely well. Not once do you see screen tearing or texture popping, and the server connection is smooth and never laggy. For those of you who aren't familiar with Counter-Strike, I highly recommend this to anyone, fan of FPS or not. Do not be discouraged by the fact that there is no aiming ( except for sniper class), killstreaks, perks, and whatever modern shooters saturate into gameplay, this is one of if not the best balanced shooter on the market. In conclusion, the teamwork and strategy necessary to be victorious provides a realistic and thrilling experience, and no matter if your a FPS fan or not, there is something you will learn to love about this game. 9/10… Expand
Aug 25, 2012Great game. I've never been able to play it on PC... Couldn't master keyboard and mouse using on FPS. I was kinda waiting it to hit gaming consoles and it's here :~D Let's do some good and kill some nasty terros. I couldn't play with the Move though... That's the 1pt missing from my rating. Anyway, game wise, it rocks!
Sep 3, 2012Improved gunplay, graphics, sound coupled with new modes and maps make this a really fun and addicting entry to CS. I stopped playing Source because it started to feel a little dated but this has made me want to play CS again. Demolition and Arms Race are very, very fun. The classic maps are also much better balanced while still having that old feel we all love. At $15 this is a steal.
Oct 23, 2012Fortunately, the design is still fun, even if it doesn't quite hold up against modern FPS fare. [Dec 2012, p.86]
Sep 10, 2012Global Offensive is pure Counter-Strike. Hidden Path have made an inoffensive compromise between the best parts of the old versions. Whether it'll be the definitive thing is yet to be seen. However, it's an all-around decent FPS and is likely the most necessary one on PSN.

What Will You Study
This new programme is the result of an innovative, interdisciplinary collaboration between the Postgraduate Quaker Study Centre at Woodbrooke, Birmingham and the Department of Politics, Philosophy, and Religion (PPR) at Lancaster University.
The course is designed to introduce you to the theories, issues and processes connected with the history, theology and sociology of Quakerism in a global context. The programme is especially relevant if you are interested in Quaker theology and history, the adaptation of religious groups to new social and geographical settings, globalisation and religion, and secularisation. On successful completion, you will have the option of transferring to the MA in Quakerism in the Modern World. Alternatively, the Postgraduate Certificate in Quaker Studies is an excellent way to gain a foundation in the academic study of the Quaker past and present.
You will study three modules which deal with a wide range of topics relevant to the scheme:
- Quaker Theology in Context
- The Sociology of Contemporary Quakerism
- Quakerism, Peace and Justice
Each module is to be completed within a 10-week period and assessed by the participation in weekly learning activities and a 5,000 word essay (to be submitted after the end of the module). Study throughout the whole programme is comprehensively supported through supervised online group discussions, web seminars and individual academic supervision to ensure an engaging and enjoyable distance learning experience.
Finally, for those interested, there will be an optional Summer School based at Woodbrooke and at Lancaster University in the heart of '1652 country', which will include additional lectures and guided visits to key sites of Quaker interest.

Jose Canseco is back! How excited are you?
Canseco is trying to latch on with a Mexican League's AAA team- Quintana Roo Tigers. The former juicer doesn't want to give up his dream, and at age 47 thinks he still has something left in the tank. My guess is the only thing he has in his tank is anabolic steroids.
Canseco last played in the Majors with the White Sox back in 2001. He retired in infamy after 17 seasons and 462 homers. Since "retiring", he has published a book in which he claimed 85% of MLB players were on performance enhancing drugs, appeared on VH1's Surreal Life making a total ass out of himself, and signed up for celebrity boxing matches, but sent his lookalike brother Ozzie instead.
Jose played Independent League ball in 2006 and again last year. He just doesn't know when to quit.

It has been a common practice to wash and thoroughly clean any fruit or vegetable before juicing them. This is because potentially toxic chemicals like pesticides, insecticides, herbicides and many other chemicals are used in many of commercially produced and grown fruits available for sale in the market. However, do you know that experts say that the rind or peel of many fruits actually contains many of the important nutrients that we need? This also is true for many vegetables, as well. Nutritionists even recommend leaving the rind or peel of some fruits and vegetables when juicing, cooking or baking them. Realizing that many of the nutrients in the fruits and vegetables are potentially washed away once we rinse or peel off the skin, we need to know how to clean fruits and vegetables before juicing.
If you have grown the fruits or vegetables for juicing yourself and you know how much (or little) chemicals your harvests are exposed to, you can simply rinse the fruit or vegetable with warm running water. If there are some chemicals applied when growing the fruit or vegetable, you can scrub these off by a soft bristle brush before juicing it.
However, if you buy your fruits and vegetables in the produce market or your local grocery store, chances are these may have wax coating used to preserve the fruits and vegetables when shipping them from the farm to the retail market. This wax coating may not be easily removed by simply washing with running water or soft bristled scrub. So, before juicing the fruit or vegetable, fill a basin or sink with warm water and add a small amount of hydrogen peroxide or H2O2. Hydrogen peroxide is a food grade that is found to loosen the dirt, chemical residues and even wax coating in the rind or peel of the fruit and vegetable, before juicing. When you soak the fruit or vegetable, you will notice bubbles accumulating. That is the hydrogen peroxide working to remove the contaminants away. After soaking the fruits and vegetables to be juiced overnight in hydrogen peroxide you will notice that washing the dirt, wax and chemicals off would be very easy and will take little or even no effort at all.
Another important thing to note when washing fruits and vegetables before juicing is the amount of chlorine in your tap water. Water systems in most cities contain high amount of chlorine, hence, a good filter system to remove the chlorine should be installed, if you consider making your own fruit and vegetable juices. Chlorine is another substance that we do not need in our fresh fruit or vegetable juice.
Aside from hydrogen peroxide, there are a number of solvents in the market primarily used as fruit and vegetable wash. These products are also effective when removing the various chemical residues, wax and dirt before juicing any fruit or vegetable. Some do not even require overnight soaking, as they are formulated to quickly remove residues of the fruit and vegetable before juicing. You can opt to get these types, but they are not such a necessity.
The next time you think of juicing any fruit or vegetable, take note of this simple tip and you are well on your way to enjoying a nutritious and refreshing drink.

The "Friend Zone", coined by the popular TV show Friends, apparently about a group of people living in their own zone, is generally used as a term to described a friendship between two people where one of them thinks they should fuck and other one is totally not into that. In popular culture it's discussed all the time, including in a pretty sweet Ryan Reynold's movie with a weak ending, if you can even watch that far without getting lost in his eyes. Seriously.
But there seems to be a huge misconception about what is really happening here. Most 'nice guys' hate having to be someone's friend when their only interest was banging, and then get all pissed at the girl. And probably perfectly fine girls get shit on for not dating what is probably a really whiny/annoying/ugly dude just cause he hangs around all the time. The friend zone is thought of as a prison for guys with a lady warden, when really its just sad betas fucking up their lives, being bitter, and pretending to be nice guys cause they're mad they got rejected. Let's talk about some FACTS to keep you from ending up where you don't want to be!
1. You Can Only Friend Zone Yourself
This is incredibly important to understand, and it should be taught in middle school. If you are Friend Zoned it is 100% the fault of your own, and you can't blame anyone else. Doesn't matter what you do, how you are perceived by others is not their problem. You really gotta make some moves from the get go, so you can see if their is any hope for a relationship (or casual sex), or at least become an option down the road if you stick around. But if those moves don't work you gotta take your rejection as an opportunity for personal growth, instead of getting all pissed at the lady rejecting you, cause its not her fault for not being into you.
Some dudes get it into their head that they're really nice to a girl she'll just fuck them, which really on paper doesn't sound like a practice that makes any sense. So they just spend all their time piling on compliments and favors in a futile attempt to be seen as not a friend (when they're really just being a really good friend) and then blame the girl for never being attracted to them from the start. If someone thinks you're their friend and you want to date, they don't have to, and most likely they do not want to. You can't hang out with a group of girls every Saturday night and then blame them when no one wants to have an orgy. Why would your friends suddenly just want to fuck in a big pile? You do that with your Craigslist friends who responded to the orgy post. Friends don't do shit like that, and if you don't like it, good news!
2. Friendship is Like, Totally Voluntary
What kind of fucked up friendship is that? 'Hey man, I'mma force you to do all these things for me while I bitch about some dude and then leave because I am clearly just using you for free favors.' But don't blame her for taking advantage of the situation, no one has a gun to the dude's head. You don't have to go over to some girl with a boyfriend's place to move her piano whenever she calls, you can literally go do anything else. If you want to help someone out go for it man, but don't get all pissy when you don't get a blowjob, you knew that shit wasn't coming when you drove over there. All time and effort wasted is your bad, shoulda known better man.
If you don't want to be someone's friend, then don't, totally not hard. If they ain't interested its always best to get over it and move the fuck on. If you just want to fuck them and don't like them as a person stop responding to their shit, most likely they won't really care that much anyway. All for doing favors for friends, but if you gotta a shitty friend who asks for shit all the time but 'can't find their phone' whenever you need some help, might be time to cut some friends, even if you totally thought you were gonna get some that one time.
3. Forced Relationships are a Bad Idea
So you miss the dating opportunity, but you don't want to break off contact with the girl, now you got a friendship. Its great having friends of the opposite sex (or same sex, what up gay bros), and actually its a little weird if you don't. Usually when people fuck up their friendships with ladies, its cause they're forcing a relationship that has no place there. If there's a mutual attraction tho, go for it. Not guaranteed to work of course but a lot people get in great relationships this way. Worst case scenario you lose one friend, and you can avoid that by not fucking each other over and going into a bad break up. This isn't that big of a deal.
But its pretty easy to tell when the other person is not into you, and that situation its important to not force a relationship. Find someone who is into you and keep your friend around. When they're not into it and you try to force a relationship just 'cause you really want it', you're probably just gonna creep 'em out and create a really awkward situation that does not need to exist. Rule of thumb, if you can't get at least get a friends with benefits scenario going (the living together before marriage of dating a friend), should probably give up on the girl. There are literally billions of others. Know your role, if you friendzoned yourself and are fine with it, have fun with your friend and don't get hung up on her. If you don't want a friend, you just gotta get over the girl, move on, and quit wasting your life complaining about some sex you was never gonna get. Its sad man.
Don't you hate dudes complaining about friendzoning? Do you feel for hot chicks with a ton of friendbros bugging them all the time that will never get it? Do you have any chill lady friends or friends with benefits (brofist)? Shouldn't that Ryan Reynolds movie have ended with him not marrying that girl, realizing they were never friends cause he was just obsessed with her and that's what she's doing now and then they start an actual friendship while he goes on to bang tons of hot actresses?

The pilot stated that when he was approximately 10 miles out from Sanford he completed the landing checklist but, because of air traffic control (ATC) vectoring and changing of airspeed, he left the carburetor heat cold. At 5 miles out from Sanford he decreased airspeed to 80 miles per hour, lowered the flaps, trimmed the airplane and flew the ILS approach to runway 27R, but does not recall using carburetor heat. He had the runway insight at 1/3 miles and with an altitude of 200 feet, he says the engine sputtered several times and then lost power. He switched to the right fuel tank with no response. He advised ATC that the engine was out and he was going to land short of runway 27R. He continued to control the airplane until the airplane hit a treetop that spun the airplane 180 degrees clockwise. The airplane came to rest on its landing gear between a row of trees. The passenger and himself exited the airplane, and immediately found rescue crews on-scene. An employee from the engine manufacturer of the accident airplane, who assisted the FAA during the postaccident investigation observed the fuel system was compromised, but a residual amount of fuel was found in the fuel supply lines to the engine. The fuel gasolator was checked and found clean. The fuel system lines were disconnected and contained clean blue aviation fuel. The inlet screen to the carburetor was clean. The fuel pump produced fuel flow when the engine was rotated. No stains were observed to indicate leaks from the engine. Further examination of the engine revealed no mechanical anomalies that would have prevented the engine from developing power prior to the accident. The responding FAA accident inspector stated the airplane incurred substantial damage when it collided with trees when it landed short of runway 27R. The engine inspection conducted by the engine manufacturer revealed no problems to be associated with the engine. A weather report from the National Whether Service Office showed conditions around the Sanford area at the time of the accident to be conducive to carburetor icing. The pilot stated he did not turn on the carburetor heat during the landing approach.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
Antidepressants increase the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in short-term studies in children and adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of DESYREL or any other antidepressant in a child or adolescent must balance this risk with the clinical need. Patients who are started on therapy should be observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. DESYREL is not approved for use in pediatric patients. (See WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS: Pediatric Use).
Pooled analyses of short-term (4 to 16 weeks) placebo-controlled trials of 9 antidepressant drugs (SSRIs and others) in children and adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), or other psychiatric disorders (a total of 24 trials involving over 4400 patients) have revealed a greater risk of adverse events representing suicidal thinking or behavior (suicidality) during the first few months of treatment in those receiving antidepressants. The average risk of such events in patients receiving antidepressants was 4%, twice the placebo risk of 2%. No suicides occurred in these trials.
DESYREL®(trazodone HCl)
DESYREL (trazodone hydrochloride) is an antidepressant chemically unrelated to tricyclic, tetracyclic, or other known antidepressant agents.
DESYREL is indicated for the treatment of depression. The efficacy of DESYREL has been demonstrated in both inpatient and outpatient settings and for depressed patients with and without prominent anxiety. The depressive illness of patients studied corresponds to the Major Depressive Episode criteria of the American Psychiatric Associations Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, III.a
Major Depressive Episode implies a prominent and relatively persistent (nearly every day for at least two weeks) depressed or dysphoric mood that usually interferes with daily functioning, and includes at least four of the following eight symptoms: change in appetite, change in sleep, psychomotor agitation or retardation, loss of interest in usual activities or decrease in sexual drive, increased fatigability, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, slowed thinking or impaired concentration, and suicidal ideation or attempts.
Trazodone for sleep disturbance during methadone maintenance: A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. [2011.07.26]BACKGROUND: To test whether trazodone, one of the most commonly prescribed medications for treatment of insomnia, improves subjective and/or objective sleep among methadone-maintained persons with sleep complaints, we performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 6-month follow-up... CONCLUSIONS: Trazodone did not improve subjective or objective sleep in methadone-maintained persons with sleep disturbance. Other pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments should be investigated for this population with high rates of insomnia. Copyright (c) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
A pilot study of the efficacy and safety of paroxetine augmented with
risperidone, valproate, buspirone, trazodone, or thyroid hormone in adult Chinese
patients with treatment-resistant major depression. [2011]To compare the efficacy and safety of augmenting paroxetine with risperidone,
buspirone, valproate, trazodone, or thyroid hormone in patients with
treatment-resistant depression (TRD), 225 patients with retrospectively and/or
prospectively identified stage II TRD were randomly assigned to receive an 8-week
treatment of paroxetine 20 mg/d augmented with risperidone 2 mg/d (n = 45),
sodium valproate 600 mg/d (n = 39), buspirone 30 mg/d (n = 46), trazodone 100
mg/d (n = 47), or thyroid hormone 80 mg/d (n = 48)...
Dose proportionality of once-daily trazodone extended-release caplets under fasting conditions. [2010.12]An extended-release trazodone HCl formulation, Trazodone Contramid OAD (TzCOAD), was developed as scored 150-mg and 300-mg caplets for once-daily administration. Dose proportionality of intact and bisected caplets (dose range, 75-375 mg) was evaluated in a single-dose, randomized, 5-way crossover study...
Effects on sleep stages and microarchitecture of caffeine and its combination with zolpidem or trazodone in healthy volunteers. [2009.07]Caffeine is the world's most popular stimulant and is known to disrupt sleep... These data suggest that caffeine mimics some, but not all of the sleep disruption seen in insomnia and that its disruptive effects are differentially attenuated by the actions of sleep-promoting compounds with distinct mechanisms of action.
Short-term clarithromycin administration impairs clearance and enhances pharmacodynamic effects of trazodone but not of zolpidem. [2009.06]The kinetic and dynamic interactions of 5 mg zolpidem and 50 mg trazodone with 500 mg clarithromycin (4 doses given over 32 h) were investigated in a 5-way double crossover study with 10 healthy volunteers. The five treatment conditions were: placebo + placebo; zolpidem + placebo; zolpidem + clarithromycin; trazodone + placebo; and trazodone + clarithromycin.
The Association of 5-HT2A Polymorphism and Efficacy of Trazodone for Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor-Induced Sexual Function [Recruiting]
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of trazodone in the treatment of
selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor(s) associated sexual dysfunction. The secondary
domains assessed were the relationship between 5-HT2A polymorphism and treatment efficacy.
Trazodone for Sleep Disorders in Alzheimer's Disease [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to determine whether trazodone is effective in the treatment of
sleep disorders in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Trazodone for Sleep Disturbance in Early Alcohol Recovery [Completed]
This study is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial comparing trazodone (Desyrel) and
placebo among sleep-disturbed, alcohol-dependent individuals shortly after discharge from an
inpatient detoxification program. Subjects will undergo a baseline assessment and random
assignment to trazodone or identical placebo for 12 weeks. All persons completing the
alcohol detoxification at Stanley Street Treatment and Resources (SSTAR) will be screened.

Comparison of the Pharmacokinetics of Three Generic Medications and Their Respective Brand Preparations [Recruiting]
Generic describes a pharmaceutical product that does not have a brand name or trademark.
Generic medications should be the equivalent of brand medications. Only their price should
be different. The active ingredient of the generic medication has to be within a window of
80 to 125% of the original in the blood. There are reports that this standard is not always
followed after the medication has been on the market. Indeed, it was observed that some
patients previously stable on original medications relapsed when switched to a generic.
Several factors could account for this problem. Such problems have been reported for
Pindolol, Quetiapine, and Trazodone. Some properties of specific brands of the generics and
the original brands will be examined for these three medications. The three original
medications used in this study are the Visken, the Seroquel, and the Desyrel. The three
generics are the Teva-pindolol, the Teva-Quetiapine, and the Teva-Trazodone. They are all
available on the Canadian market by prescription.

Abiquiu, New Mexico Ghost Ranch is not in the village of Abiquiu, it is 14 miles north of Abiquiu, but a lot of us talk about Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu. It's just a way of situating the Ranch in reference to its closest neighbor, a very interesting neighbor at that. If you stay on Highway 84 to Ghost Ranch you haven't really seen the village of Abiquiu, only the outskirts. To see the village you must turn left at Bode's General Store, curve around to the left and climb the hill past the back of Georgia O'Keeffe's property. That road will take you to the plaza where you will find the centerpiece of the village of Abiquiu, the Santo Tomas de Abiquiu Catholic Church.
Remember the Abiquiu village is located on private land similar to an Indian Pueblo so please follow pueblo etiquette and do not take photographs of people or buildings without obtaining permission first.

ROANOKE, Va. (AP) -- Court records show a recent DNA hit has linked a man to evidence left at the scene of a 2005 shooting death.
The Roanoke Times reports (http://bit.ly/16G0XTZ) a warrant filed in Roanoke Circuit Court reveals that a match was found in April for DNA evidence recovered from the Aug. 16, 2005 shooting of 23-year-old Jamie Lavar Penn. Authorities located the person whose DNA matched the evidence and took a swab of the man's DNA Saturday for comparison.
That person has not been charged in the case.
Penn was found with multiple close- range gunshot wounds in a rental car. Police found a red lighter on the ground next to the vehicle.
Originally, it did not match the DNA of anyone in a national database, but a match was reported in April.

Have you ever been concerned about your recent SAT test scores? Have you ever wanted to score within the top percentiles? If so, you've come to the right place. I have a host of strategies, tactics and tips that exploit every nook, cranny and loophole in the math, reading, writing and physics portions of the tests. In a tentative amount of time, your scores will ameliorate by the hundreds as I demonstrate fun ways to learn the 'hackneyed' vocabulary that plague sentence completion, effective ways to solve the most 'aberrant' math problems, and novel ways to improve your efficacy in the most 'monotonous' passages in the reading section.

With my strategies at your disposal, it'll be a breeze when you get that score you deserve and 'stalemate the SAT'.
~ I am a Millennium Academy graduate who breaks down all of the complexities that are found throughout math and science. I have also taught many middle-school children math and science overseas and participated in several volunteer mentoring programs throughout my community.
I personally love geometry, because it is one of the easiest, but yet most challenging to students. I am patient and understanding, because I have worked with a diversity of people over the span of 16 countries throughout the world, as well as contributing to an 'A' that my doctoral student earned in her statistics assignment. I am majoring in mechanical engineering, so naturally, I maintain an exemplary study ethic that inspires my students to achieve more.
All in all, I bring results. I know how to ...

David Dobkin
Date of Birth: June 23, 1969
When David Dobkin graduated with honors from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in Film & Television in 1991, he had already been working for several years in the film industry. He started off as an assistant to the production manager on John Schlesinger's film The Believers (1987), and while in school, worked for Warner Bros.' development division.
A native of Washington, D.C., Dobkin moved to Los Angeles after graduation to pursue a career as a director. His first jobs were directing music videos for artists such as Tupac Shakur, Sonic Youth and Robin Zander. From there, he moved into directing commercials for high profile clients such as ESPN, Coke, Honda and Coors Light. His ads for Heineken earned him honors from SHOOT Magazine, while his spots for the Utah Symphony were named "Spot of the Month" by Adweek Magazine.
Dobkin made his feature film directing debut with Clay Pigeons (1998), a black comedy about a series of small-town murders. The film, which starred Joaquin Phoenix and Janeane Garofalo, received mixed reviews from critics and a lukewarm reception at the box office.
For his second film, Dobkin was handpicked by Jackie Chan himself to direct Shanghai Knights (2003), the sequel to Shanghai Noon (2000), co-starring Owen Wilson. Again working with Wilson, Dobkin then helmed the comedy Wedding Crashers (2005), which went on to be a huge success at the box office.
He and his wife, producer Megan Wolpert, have one child together.
