Car crashes into house near Birdsboro
Elderly driver suffered only minor injuries
UNION TWP., Pa. - An elderly man was taken to a hospital after his car barreled into a home near Birdsboro.
The man's son, a firefighter, said he found out about his dad's involvement in the accident as he responded to the scene in the 900 block of East Main Street in Union Twp., Berks Co., Monday afternoon.
Three generations of the Kulp family were at there. The 90-year-old driver, Vernon Kulp Jr., was taken to Reading Hospital for treatment of minor injuries while his son and grandson helped at the crash scene.
"It was such a loud crash that I just couldn't imagine what happened," said Craig Geiger, who was in the basement of his home when the eldest Kulp's Buick crashed through the front door. "The front door is in my living room, glass all over everywhere."
And when Geiger looked outside, he recognized Kulp, a former Birdsboro neighbor.
"He got out of the car. He was walking. He was bleeding, cut on his head, his arms and whatever," said Geiger. "He wanted paper towels. I had to go around the back of the house to get out because I couldn't get to him. Then we called 911 and had him sit down."
Meanwhile, Vernon Kulp III and Scott Kulp were on a fire truck with the Birdsboro Union Fire Department.
"We were just about here when one of the firefighters called me and said it was my father in the accident," said Kulp, adding that he wasn't completely surprised.
"He always goes over to the Birdsboro Cemetery here to visit my mother's grave, and I just had a feeling that it was him," said Kulp. "And we got here and it was him."
He said he was able to speak with his father to ask him what happened as he was leaving the cemetery.
"He came up to Route 724, East Main Street, here, said he looked both ways and he punched the accelerator," said Kulp. "He said the car just took off on him and came right across the front lawn here and right into the house here."
Kulp was last reported to be hospitalized in good condition.
"He has some lacerations on the head and some lacerations on the arm," said Kulp. "We don't know of any other injuries at the time."
Geiger said he's thankful no one was seriously hurt. He doesn't know how much the damage will cost.

Date of Stay: May, 2011
We were traveling through the area checking out campgrounds and attractions for our upcoming vacation and found this place. We called ahead for information and found the office staff very friendly and helpful. Since we will have several tent campers with us on our return visit we checked out the restrooms and shower facilities and were pleasantly surprised. They were very clean. We are currently planning our family's end of summer event here and may even return to enjoy their new cabins. This is a quiet country setting with lots of amenities and hospitality.
Date of Stay: May, 2011
We were in the area researching campgrounds for our family's end of summer event and stayed the night. While the campground is nice it was just a little too cluttered and busy for what we are looking for. In addition, this location did not require the full amenities we require but the available facilities appeared to be fairly clean.

Ravenwood Children's Trust
July 5th 2012
will go down as a momentous occasion in the Jarvis house, Craig was chosen to run with the Olympic torch in Southwold. To everyone's amazement it was a scorcher and the crowds turned out in force, the streets were lined with every age group, cheering, waving flags and everyone having a fantastic time. The handover went smoothly and Craig was amazed at the response of the Crowd as he started to jog along with the security officers who ran along side as protection for the flame. He said "It was a fantastic experience and felt proud to be part of the Olympic celebrations"
All the Jarvis family were there to
cheer Craig on
The met police were also stars of the show, here with Molly (Craig's youngest) and cousins
Craig with his eldest daughter
Passing of the flame
The changeover is complete
Thrilling moment as he starts to
run and the Southwold crowds
cheer him on
Suffolk Hotelier Completes The Highest Trail In The World
On June 16th Craig Jarvis, proprietor of Ravenwood Hall Hotel in Bury St Edmunds Suffolk, led a team of fundraisers on Royal Enfield bikes, taking 14 days to cross the Himalayas, the sheer magnitude of the mountain and high altitude of 5,000 metres was definitely not for the faint hearted! He pushed himself to the limit to raise funds for the Ravenwood Children's Trust and has returned to base camp safe and sound.
The journey through some of the most dangerous driving conditions in the world was eventful, they were charged by Yaks, endured road closures due to landslides, were honoured guests at a Tibetan wedding and joined a religious ceremony where a goat was sacrificed!
Craig has said "This was a humbling and amazing experience to reach the highest negotiable trail in the world is an achievement never to be forgotten. Meeting children from the local villages and seeing how they cope with such extremes of climate and poverty was overwhelming"
Craig's Himalayan Trip
Olympic Torch comes to Southwold
Date: 5 July 2012
Details of the route to be taken by the Olympic Torch Relay when it visits Reydon and Southwold on 5 July have been announced.The Torch Relay convoy will reach the Lowestoft Road, near Oaklands, at 11.22 am and runners will then take over for the run in to Southwold.
The Torch will cross Might's Bridge at 11.26 and be taken along Pier Avenue to the Pier where there will be a photo opportunity with a focus on the Pier, North Parade and the Beach Huts, before the Torch is taken back along Pier Avenue, across Might's Bridge, to Hill Road, Reydon. Here it will resume its journey by road to Kelsale, the next part of its journey en route to Woodbridge.
Timings for the return movement from the Pier are currently, unclear, but with the Torch Relay due to resume in Kelsale at 1.23pm this would suggest a stop in the region of 30 minutes in Southwold.
The challenges and events held in aid of The Ravenwood Children's Trust
As a volunteer ,I lead a team of 30-35 fundraiser riders on Royal Enfield bikes with Enduro Himalaya, taking 14days to ride the highest trail in the world. The Himalayas are not for the faint hearted, the mountains sheer magnitude and high altitude reaching 5,000 metres is the highest most people achieve.
Add to this the unpredictable weather, the constant risk of landslides, sudden border closures with Tibet and India make this a true endurance test.
Craig is thrilled to be chosen and runs through Southwold, route to be announced so please come along and cheer him on.
Ravenwood Hall Children's Trust has a team for the London 10k race also running for Facing Africa.
Central London will be closed off for the event which attracts approx 30,000 entrants. We have a team of twelve with experienced runners and first timers who I know will all put in a marvellous effort .
Are there any takers for team 2013? If so please ring Chris Knight 01359 270345 for details
- THE ULTIMATE MARATHON….EVEREST 6th November 2013
The highest marathon in the world as listed in the Guiness book of records.I am hoping the Himalayas will be good altitude training for this.Starting at Gorak Shep 17,000 ft, close to Everest Base Camp in Nepal.Finishing at the Sherpa town of Namche Bazaar at 11,300 ft the course is 26.2 miles over rough mountain trails.It is the world's most spectacular race and has been held fourteen times since 1987.
Ravenwood Children's Trust

With his smart blue blazer, immaculate checked shirt and suave appearance Craig Jarvis is every inch the gentleman hotelier and businessman.
Yet beneath this smooth unruffled appearance is a man with determination, strength, athleticism and sheer guts - who it seems will stop at nothing to help others
in need.
He's climbed mountains, raced horses, taken perilous motorbike endurance tours and by the way also does unspeakably hazardous ultra distance running and events through deserts and jungles. Every feat seems to be harder than the one before and although there's nothing in pipeline for next year he's thinking what to next. "Maybe it will be something snowy. Shh, I haven't told me wife yet though," he says.
But doubtless Julie, along with daughters Molly and Jessie know that he's not going to take up a pipe and slippers just yet. "Someone at my daughter's school even showed me a story from the Daily Mail the other day about men who risk life and limb on boys own adventures as a way of coping with middle age." "They wondered if I'd been the inspiration," he joked. The truth is that this isn't something sudden - Craig may be in his 50s but he's been doing such events for almost half of his life.
While he obviously relishes these challenges, no matter how adverse the circumstances, there's only really one goal in mind, raising money for the Ravenswood Children's Trust which founded a school in Sri Lanka, a children's home in Goa and supports a number of local charities including EACH and riding for the disabled. "Last year we raised £33,000, we aim for about £15,000 a year - but it gets harder and harder." ... MORE
Craig returns from the jungle in one piece and to our amazement looks great, here he is with Julie his wife who was so delighted to have him home again.
Congratulations Craig he was one of the 23 to complete this harrowing marathon out of over 50 runners.
Final stage
The last stage of the race took place along some of the most glorious beaches that border the river Tapajos. 22km of sand with of course a few water crossings thrown in to keep runners cool. By 11.30 all of the competitors who were still in the race had crossed the finish line and even some of those who had dropped out on previous stages joined in for this last 22km. Runners and support staff then had lunch on the beach in Maracana, drank copious amounts of beer and cheered on their fellow runners as they reached the end of their journey. A qucik few hours in a local hotel to wash off that jungle smell will be followed by a party and prize giving tonight at "Casa de Saulo", an enchanting restaurant in Carpanaria, a suburb of Santarem. Operating a race in an extreme environment is never without logistic issues, however careful the planning, and the 2011 edition of jungle marathon was no exception. It is a credit to the runners and support staff that they took these in their stride and that their was much celebration as the 2011 race due to a close.
Stage 5 – Part II – Oct 14, 2011
The overnight part of the 2day stage unfolded with drama and extreme conditions. The leading athletes running through the jungle overnight met head on with a raging rainforest fire – which came within 100m of the makeshift track through the dense jungle. As if that wasn't hard enough the competitors endured no sleep, all the jungle animal kingdom on display at night and steep inclines and declines through swamps and rivers under the moonlight canopy. Once through the jungle part at check point 6, most athletes elected for some food from their packs (late late dinner) and a few minutes rest before moving onto the mangrove swamps and beach tracks around the beautiful lagoon of Altar do Chao. The majority of athletes had serious foot issues on stage 5, with the scorching heat and running on the dirt (after river and mud crossings) taking their toll on almost all feet and toes. Also some athletes found direction markers hard to find in the jungle moonlight which caused navigation confusion. In the end heat exhaustion won the day with the majority of athletes not finding their way to check point 7, either pulling out on check points 3, 4, 5 or 6. With the 10th checkpoint being the finish line the runners remaining in the race wound their way through check points 7, 8 & 9 along the stunning beaches to the picturesque town of Ponta de Pedra (Point of the Stones).
100KM Race Update
As of stage 4
the following athletes completed the 100km (covering a total distance of 117km) ultra marathon: Arron Worbey, Nick Walters, Tracey Stevens, Martin Nobbs, Tony Marchant, Luis Larcerda, Luis Gustavo. The following athletes will complete their 100km with the 240km group on the final day going into the beautiful Amazon beach city of Santarem: Matt Barrelle, Marcio Villar, Ronnis Blair & Nick Walters Stage 5 31 competitors started stage 5 this morning at the early time of 5am to beat the morning sunlight and get a head start on the 117km all day, night, and following day run. A beautiful run along the white sand beach of the Amazon National Park of Tapajos was followed by a river crossing up to check point 1. All competitors made it to check point 2 & 3 by around 1pm, where the temperature hit 40+ degrees and extreme humidity. 9 Runners made it through check point 5 by 5pm while the others who arrived at the jungle entrance later had to wait for the next opening at 10pm and travel safe as a group through the very dangerous night jungle phase.
Stage 3 started off with a river crossing and then probably the toughest stage to date. After a few kilometer on flat trails runners faced treacherous climbs and steep decents. Couple this with the distance and the scorching heat, the day took its toll on even the toughest of runners, including renowned Brazilian ultra runner Marcio Viliar, who was one of the favourites to win. Strong finishes included Roberto Martins of Brazil, Javier Subias and Julen Urdubeai of Spain, and the flying Scotsman Dan Dillon. The heros of tenacity were surely: Sally Thorne, Juli Goldstein, Arron Worby Nick Walters, and Tony Marchent all of who arrived within the cut off as darkness was falling. Black Jaguars were spotted by several competitors on the course today (not too far from the finish line), but as runners try to settle down and sleep in the wet kit (after torrential rain), in the deep jungle campsite, they are hoping that the campfires and armed guides will keep the predators at bay.
11th October 2011 - Day 2
Hi, Interesting night with mangos falling from 40 foot trees onto our hammocks, great for breakfast though, day 2 started 7am with 200 meter swim across the Amazon, followed by 26 k run through very deep jungle, have to keep eyes on trail whole time as full of interesting huge holes covered over by jungle that are perfect b & b for Amazon reptilian residents, very hot again with high humidity , ran the whole day with a German surgeon, we are similar pace, finished better placing than 1st day, difficult to get hydration right , need a cold beer that would do the trick !
10th October 2011 - Day 1
Hi, First day of racing today, took it careful and ran with a team at the back as rucksack is at heaviest 16.5kg, and needed to acclimatise to the heat 37 deg with 90% humidity. Interesting swamp crossings very spooky as quite dark and you are not sure what is in the water, jungle is eerily still with very unusual animal sounds, you can hear the animals moving around close to you, but do not see them, but you know they can see you. No drop outs today even though it was a tough stage, hills comparable to climbing Scar Fell, very friendly natives in the villages, children are really beautiful and very interested to watch you when you stop at check points. Found first stage ok then midday day heat really catches you out and just saps all your strength. Some very interesting people out here all with a story to tell and amazing world class athletes. (with 1 exception)
9th October 2011
Hi all, had interesting 40 plus hours of travelling to reach central Amazon. Amazing country, Just finished day of jungle training in preparation of tomorrows 5.30 am start of race. Approx 40 competitors with British representing about 15, very fit guys, think I need to get back in the gym, bit late now though ! saw very rare river dolphins today, beautiful creatures, had brief encounter with Caiman (Amazon crocodile) looking forward to getting into the race.
They have all arrived safe and sound and the boat has also reached the Amazon with all competitors aboard!

Ravenwood Trust Charity Update - September 2011
In February of this year I returned to India for my 3rd fundraising trip and with 5 other motorcycle mounted volunteers and 2 paramedics, guided 55 fund raising motorcyclists through Southern India. The trip covered 5 states and 2,500 km raising over £80,000 for a number of charities including Save the Children, the Rainbow Trust Children's Charity and Project Ashram (Indian educational charity). I took a well-wishing card from my daughter's (Molly age 8) class at South Lee School in Bury St Edmunds. Along the route, I visited many small remote village schools.
Great news, Mission accomplished!
Grateful thanks to you all we raised £10,000 for EACH ( East Anglia Children Hospices) to go towards their tree house appeal, building an amazing new hospice in Ipswich. The building was opened in June 2011 and it is a remarkable place with such a dedicated team making a real difference to the children's lives
July was a busy month, on Sunday 10TH July
Ravenwood Hall Children's Trust had a team for the London 10k race also running for Facing Africa. Central London was closed off for the event which attracted approx 30,000 entrants. The team of eight had a great day, experienced runners and those first timers all put in a marvellous effort and we are waiting to see how much was raised. Two of the team won their place at the annual charity ball auction in 2010( this year it is held on November 27th ) and most have already volunteered for next year. Are there any takers for team 2012? If so please ring Chris Knight 01359 270345 for details
Then on Friday 29TH July
I joined a group of parents ,staff, Derek Whipp the head master and a governor from South Lee School to climb the three peaks, Ben Nevis, Scarfell Pike and Snowdon, the 11,178 feet or 26 miles in 24 hours including driving. This was to raise money for two great charities, The Alzheimer's Society and EACH (East Anglia's Children's Hospices) .We unfortunately encountered a blocked road in Scotland which delayed us. However Justin Adams completed the challenge with 2 minutes to spare, he ran up and down Snowdon in 3 hours! Even with bad visibility and poor weather we all finished ,even if most of us were nursing various sore parts of our bodies! It was all worth it as at the moment £3,618.75 has been raised .
On OCTOBER 6TH , the self sufficient runners will take one week, carrying their own food and equipment through primary Amazon jungle in Brazil with debilitating humidity, struggling through swamps and encountering the most hostile environment in the world insert .This taxing and exhilarating 222km challenge can be seen from last years race

Ravenwood Trust Charity Update - February
In February of this year Craig Jarvis, along with 5 other motorcycle mounted volunteers and 2 paramedics, guided 55 fund raising motorcyclists through Southern India. The trip covered 5 states and 2,500 klm raising over £80,000 for a number of charities including Save the Children, the Rainbow Trust Children's Charity and Project Ashram (Indian educational charity). Craig Jarvis took a well-wishing card from his daughter's (Molly age 8) class at South Lee School in Bury. Along the route, Craig visited many small remote village schools. Ravenwood Children's Trust also supports The Sister Rose's Children's Home in Goa. This is Craig's 3rd fund-raising trip to India.
Every year Ravenwood Hall and Black Lion Hotel owner Craig Jarvis, embarks on many ventures to the aim of raising money as much money as possible for The Ravenwood Children's Trust and other local children's charities.
During 2009/2010 to celebrate Craig's 50th birthday he committed to five ultimate challenges with the aim to raise £11,000 – in fact we are delighted that the total amount raised stands at £36,000, smashing the original target. The challenges were:
CHALLENGE 1 - By Mountain
The National Three Peaks Challenge – a mighty challenge that involved climbing the three highest peaks, respectively, in England, Wales and Scotland and all within 24 hours.
The Peaks were:
• Snowdon (Wales – 1085 metres high)
• Scafell Pike (England – 978 metres high)
• Ben Nevis (Scotland – 1344 metres high)
In a team of eight, timing was everything and we only have a few hours for each mountain. With a designated driver to travel between mountains it enabled the team to sleep on route. The weather was terrible and the rest of Craig's team decided to turn back half way up, however Craig was determined to complete his very first challenge and continued with another team – but what Craig didn't know was that the other team would not be accompanying him back down (he descended alone in the middle of the night…).
CHALLENGE 2 - By Road
10k Run - The very next day after the three peaks challenge Craig ran the Official ASICS British 10K London run, raising money for the Rainbow Trust Children's Charity. It is a popular event that takes runners past many of central London's famous historic landmarks. It was unfortunate that Craig's Three Peak's team members also left with his trainers, he had to run the entire 10k in his wet and soggy walking boots!
CHALLENGE 3 - By Turf
Newmarket Town Plate – In August 2009 Craig raced in the Newmarket Town Plate horse race. He had to lose over two stone in weight. The race is for amateur jockeys; it is over 3 miles 6 furlongs in length and was founded back in 1665 by King Charles II. Craig managed to lose the right amount of weight and competed in this famous event.
CHALLENGE 4 - By Trail
With a team of 12 people, Craig set off heading for the start of a 2,000 mile off-road trail motorbike ride that went through some of the most remote parts of Cambodia, a country that has one of the highest infant mortality rates. This gave Craig a chance to locate new projects for the Ravenwood Children's Trust to support. Craig endured high temperatures, rode through some testing terrain and visited remote villages, he is also found a new beneficiary for some funds.
CHALLENGE 5 - By Sand - April 2010
The mighty Marathon Des Sable 2010 - Known as the toughest foot race on earth this is the ultimate endurance race across the Sahara Desert in Morocco and pushes contestants to their absolute limits. Nicknamed the Sand Marathon it covers 151 miles over just 7 days. In addition, competitors had to carry everything they will need to survive - it really is survival of the fittest. Craig endured the most testing conditions ever, running in 51 degree heat in the day and 2 degree chill at night, over dunes, open plane and rocky mountains. Having to carry and cook all own food along the way, having to consume 13 litres of water a day to survive and with incredible sore feet. Body management, foot care and mental strength was the key to completing this amazing race, where he finished in 685th place out of well over 1,000 competitors - British Olympian James Cracknell came in at 12th position.
To date the following causes have benefitted over the years:
- St Nicholas Hospice Care
- Ravenwood Montessori School in Sri Lanka
- St Cristobel's children's home in Goa
- Multiple Sclerosis
- A garden for the Rainbow children's ward at West Suffolk hospital Bury St. Edmunds
- The Lord Taverner's Club
- Riding for the disabled
- A purpose built bicycle for a handicapped child
- A winch for disabled children at the swimming pool in Bury St. Edmunds
- Rhys Daniel Trust
- Facing Africa – children ravaged by Norma
Future projects and challenges:
Ravenwood Children's Trust also helps local charities and individual cases whenever possible. A new project Craig discovered on challenge 4 was a tiny village in the heart of Cambodia. He has already sent parcels of clothes for the children and intends to assist further in the future.
During 2011 with everyone's help, Craig hopes to continue to boost fund. EACH (East Anglia Children's Hospice) are building a new hospice in Ipswich which needs £3.7 million, so they really do need our help. We are trying to raise £10,000 for this tree house appeal – for more details see www.each.org.uk/treehouse.

Quote:Why should you treat your body with total dignity when you know it's going to give up on you?
Quote:I think most of see life as now. We're not constantly remided that our body will eventually fail us.
Quote:What we try to achieve is a healthy body so that we can use it to its full potential. If we want to be faster, stronger, we do what we need to do. We eliminate the harmful things in our diet so that we are not counteracting its amelioration.
Quote:We live in an individualistic society where everyone is taught to strive for personal success. We have a drive to be our best. Physically, this ultimately means pushing our bodies, stretching our limits, becoming better and better.
Quote:Another way of looking at why we don't want chemicals in our body, is that we've been given this body for the rest of our lives. we need to take care of it for as long as we have it. The more complex something is, the more of a chance there is that something will go wrong. Adding non-natural ingredients to our body can cause complications. There is no need for caramelized, carbonated chemicals, or femented ones, at that.
Quote:Interestingly Coca Cola was invented by an ex-soldier of the American Civil war who was trying to use cocaine to help cure his morphine addiction. It was originally sold as a headache cure and tonic (Pepsi was a stomach cure).Coke apparently, was one of the leaders in early brand advertising, practically inventing it.
Quote:"You are always dragging me down," said I to my body."Dragging you down!" replied my body. "Well I like that! Who taught me to like tobacco and alcohol? You, of course, with your idiotic adolescent idea of being 'grown up.' My palate loathed both at first: but you would have your way. Who put an end to all those angry and revengeful thoughts last night? Me, of course, by insisting on going to sleep. Who does his best to keep you from talking too much and eating too much by giving you dry throats and headaches and indigestion? Eh?"And what about sex?" said I."Yes, what about it?" retorted the body. "If you and your wretched imagination would leave me alone I'd give you no trouble. That's soul all over; you give me orders and then blame me for carrying them out.

The nation has been Belted.
Or is it Beltified?
Does it even matter anymore?
We're living in the United States of Belterica.
The Belt has landed in the NBA.
It's made its way to NASCAR.
Kids are Belting in class.
Mail carriers are Belting at the end of their routes.
Preachers have Belted at the end of their sermons.
Look out, it's coming to a ring near you.
Yes, I've watched with genuine amusement as Aaron Rodgers' once-corny touchdown celebration has caught some social networking fire in the week since he earned MVP honors in Super Bowl XLV. Saturday night, Charlotte Bobcats guard Stephen Jackson did The Belt after hitting a game-winning shot. Sunday, NASCAR driver Travis Kvapil directed several Belts toward a Fox television camera at the end of an interview.
Rodgers has been Belting -- pantomiming the act of putting on a wrestling-style championship belt -- for years. Winning a Super Bowl tends to draw a little extra attention, of course -- especially after Packers linebacker Clay Matthews draped Rodgers with an actual belt during the Super Bowl postgame ceremony.
Tuesday, Rodgers tweeted: "I know I wasn't the first to do "the belt", but u gotta admit my version has really taken off! And we're the champs, beltified."
Via Twitter (@AaronRodgers12) in recent days, Rodgers has portrayed himself as a Belt judge to determine, as he tweeted, "the appropriateness of using the belt celebration after work and daily accomplishments." I'll share a few of them will you below, along with comments that reveal Rodgers to have a solid comedic side.
And then.... RT @Cole_Glavan @AaronRodgers12 just corrected my calc professor and stood up and put on the belt... Proudest moment of my life
Missed Steven Jackson doing the belt. Hitting a game winner is belt worthy especially when ur a baller like SJ. #thebeltiscontagious
Questionable belt usage RT @respinola Word to @AaronRodgers12. Just did the belt after scoring a TD against a bunch of little kids.
Guys, loading up the bar on the decline bench and pumping out two reps will wearing a weight belt n tank top...also not belt worthy
Not cool to do the belt during jazzercise ladies.
As Kirk Gibson rounded the bases after his HR in the WS in '88 he only had the use of one arm, but it was a sweet one arm belt he put on
Well worth it RT @lukereuter41 @AaronRodgers12 getting a dentition for doing the belt in the middle of class after getting a 100%
With a great belt comes great responsibility... RT @QUEEN_IBBY @AaronRodgers12 Can chicks wear the belt too? Or is it just a guy thing?
Hahahahahahahahaha amazing RT @JB_Quatro @AaronRodgers12 take out the trash: belt. Walk the dog: belt. Dishes: Belt.
Jesus wore the 1st championship belt i heard RT @revbrp @AaronRodgers12 As a pastor, should I finish the Sunday message and put on the belt?
RT @DruKure @AaronRodgers12 Did my 6 hour mail route in under 5. Got outta my mail truck.. did the championship belt in front of my boss.
Only in Belterica.

Normally I just go with whatever fits, but the pattern I'm doing now has a cable pattern and since I know it will pull in significantly, trying to really get it right.
My foot circumference is around 10-1/2 inches at largest (yes, my feet are that wide blech, so fun to knit for!)
However, when I make socks to fit that (minus 10% for negative ease) they are HUUUUUUUUUGE on me. I most recently finished a sock at 7 sts/inch with 60 stitches, which is just around 8-1/2 inches, and it fits me perfectly. I then took that same pattern and went DOWN a needle size, got 8 sts/inch, still 60 stitches, which is more like 7-1/2 inches, and they still fit me just fine, definitely felt snugger than the 7 st/inch one, but still perfectly comfortable.
The gauge for this cabled sock is 8 st/inch, so I'm good there with this yarn/needle combo, but I am puzzled as to what size to make. It's 56[64,72] stitches to start, increased to 70 [80, 90] to accommodate the cables and fit circumference: 7.5 [8.0, 8.5] inches.
Being that the 60-stitch socks fit me, I'm inclined to make the medium, but obviously that's nowhere near what I should be making according to my foot measurements and then I'm thinking maybe with the cable pulling, I should do the largest size.
So I guess what my question is, how are handknit socks SUPPOSED to fit? I've only actually completed a couple of pairs, and they are always snug, but not tight (except for an attempt at fair isle where I couldn't even get the sock past the ball of my foot,) and I can't imagine wanting it much looser, but it would seem that my finished socks shouldn't be more than 9" around based on measurement and negative ease.
Any input would be much appreciated!
Try knitting a stockinette sample at the gauge where you use 60 sts. Then just keep knitting on the same piece, do a couple rows of garter and work the cable pattern then compare the width of the two to see how much the cables will draw it in.
Thanks, Sue. I left an important part out. The gauge is 10 sts/inch in the cable pattern. I guess my question is more am I making socks for myself too small or if I'm comfortable with 7-8" circumference socks even though my foot is at least 2 inches wider, is that okay or am I just stretching the knitting more than I realize and that's bad? I guess this would be a good opportunity to make a 9" sock and see if I like it since evidently I've been knitting far smaller ones for myself and hypothetically, that should still fit and be comfortable. I just already pulled almost a whole sock out and didn't want to pull another
Thanks a bunch!
A cable pattern gauge will always be smaller than a stockinette gauge. If you have a 6 st cable with 2 sts on either side of it for the 10 sts/inch, that may very well come out to 7-8 sts in plain stockinette. Sooo, do it the other way - CO for the cable gauge, work 3" or so, then garter a couple rows and switch to plain stockinette for 3". You would still compare them.
I think all of my babbling has disguised my real question/concern, I apologize.
I've started one now, though, also, so I have something concrete to work with now.
My gauge is 100% spot on, 8/inch in stockinette, 10/inch in cable, just as written. I opted for the larger size because of the cables, so that's 44 sts in cable pattern (approx 4-1/2 inches) and 36 sts in stockinette (approx 4-1/2 inches) for a total of 9 inches. I am almost half way up the foot and trying it on, it feels absolutely enormous on me, which has been my problem in the past when trying to knit socks in "my size." Assuming I am measuring the correct part of my foot to get this 10-1/2 inch diameter, it would seem to me that a 9" sock would fit me properly, that is really where my problem lies. So my real question is how are handknit socks supposed to fit and if, for whatever reason, I fancy 8" diameter socks even though my feet are huge, is that going to make every pattern I ever try to work look all yucky and/or be bad for the wear of the sock?
Thanks again, sorry to be a PITA.
I've actually started and completed a sock since starting this post, and I've realized my foot is the anti-sock....
8 sts/inch, 72 sts, for 9" around.
This one was top down and the leg felt huge on me the whole time I was making it, but I went with it anyway. I did a 3" heel flap because that's what's generally recommended for my size foot, and then opted to drop the sole stitches down to 30 while leaving 36 on top for pattern, which wound up making it quite snug somehow, but still comfortable.... The other issue is the heel flap wraps around the sides of my heel like a LOT and I'm wondering if that's normal too.
I think I am going to stick with 36 sole stitches on sock 2 just to see, but are these normal things? I just wonder if I'm doing all this incorrectly for my foot and that what I think is fitting properly is actually me stretching out these rib patterns way more than they're supposed to be.
Thanks again.

Usually these types lived too high when famous and are now desperate to maintain that lifestyle, even if it includes making a sad spectacle of themselves in the process.
Carnie Wilson, uber realitywhore. Has whored herself out to well over a dozen reality TV shows, several talk shows as well. Talks about intensely private things and even includes her small children in her desperation for money/attention. Will stop at nothing to not have to have a real job.

Where I stayed
We checked into a motel near the park which meant we were walking distance from the park. Before we could get there, a little of the Disney magic must have worked its way into our rental car when all the doors automatically locked themselves while we were checking in with the keys still in the ignition and all our luggage in the boot. We tried calling the rental car company to explain to them what had happened, but I'm sure they thought we had accidentally locked the keys in the car and we're now blaming it on the car. After a long argument and refusing to pay for a locksmith out of my own pocked on a Sunday night, I eventually threatened to smash the window as the expensive insurance we took covered that! To cut a long story short they eventually sent someone out to us with the spare keys at not additional cost which we really appreciated
We were up early the next morning to get an early start in Disney's two parks, but didn't realise that it was a public holiday, so by the time we arrive there were already hundreds of people lined up to enter the park. Despite the long queues the park did have a very festive atmosphere and we still got to ride the more popular rides.
By mid afternoon we'd covered all the rides we wanted to at California Adventure and headed over to Disneyland Park where Mickey and all his mates hangout. We strolled around for hours hopping on the occasional ride and managed to see the passing parade before dinner. We stuck around long enough to see the fireworks show before finally admitting defeat. I really don't know how some of the kids at the park managed to be full of energy at 10pm after spending almost 12 hours at the park, they must have been jacked up on sugar or something.
Disneyland was a perfect ending to our California road trip and at the end of the tour we'd covered a total of 2,463 miles in California and according to our GPS, spent 81 hours moving. I think we'll always look back at the American leg of our journey with fond memories and would love nothing more than to bring our children back to this amazing country some day.

by Public Relations Office—Cedarville, Ohio
May 2, 2008
Cedarville, Ohio—Dr. William E. Brown, president of Cedarville University, has released the second edition of his book, "Making Sense of Your World: A Biblical Worldview."
"When Dr. Gary Phillips and I wrote this book," shares Brown, "it was the first textbook on worldviews from a Christian perspective that described the nature, development and application of worldviews."
The new edition includes a forward by Dr. Norman Geisler, a worldview expert and close friend of Brown, as well as several new chapters by John Stonestreet, former assistant professor at Bryan College in Dayton, Tenn, now with Summit Ministries in Colorado.
The book has added material on Islam, an updated and expanded recommended reading list and revised teaching tools with study questions and case studies.
"The update and editing make it relevant for today's world," explains Brown. "We asked John Stonestreet to add a chapter on postmodernism and one on how people go about choosing a worldview."
Pleased that "Making Sense of Your World" has had such a long life, Brown hopes the new edition will ready Christians for real-life situations. "My heart is that Christians know how to think deeply about their faith and are equipped to engage those outside the faith. Communicating at a worldview level opens doors that would otherwise be closed."

Dying Love forever
Short Story by: lol
Status: Finished
Genre: Horror
He looks at her in the eyes, face to face they stand. A demonic smile plays along her lips as she twists the the long butcher knife behind her back. Her eyes bore into the man she has loved so much. " You wont be able to hurt me or any one again." she thinks. He steps closer, opening up his arms to wrap her in one of his sunlit hugs, which have always radiated warmth into her skin, enveloped her senses, sent her heart into total overdrive. " I dont want any of that any more, loving you has just given me grief." Her mind is clear, running with only those two mere thoughts.
She lets him hug her for the last time. As she inhales his scent she raises the knife, its blade catching the light. Turning it and setting its angle, with one swift movement as fast as an eagle catching an innocent bird, she plunges it into his back. In and out, in and out. His screams filling her ears, his fingers claw at her, creating red lines on her neck, arms and cheeks. Tears stream down both of their faces; one with fear and terror, sadness and a longing to live! And her own; confusion, hatred, foolish but true love. " No more pain, for both of us." As he closes his eyes, blood seeping into his clothes and hair, she takes the knife again which is stained with her lovers life source, and stabbing it into her own neck. As she gasps for air and from the peircing pain that courses through her every vain, she lifts it again and sinks it into her left breast. Her chest now spilling with blood rapidly rises , she crashes to the floor, her dress billowing from the force of gravity that makes her crash to the ground. Her last gaze drifts to her dead lover with her last thought drifting through her head; " Your love killed both of us." .............

TravelPod Member ReviewsSuper 8 Elkins
The super 8 was a reasonable hotel to stay at. It had a small closet off the lobby that had a washer and dryer for guests which was most appreciated. Each machine cost $1 to use which was very reasonable. The room also included a cold breakfast (cereal, toast, juice, coffee) and some fruit which was of poor quality. And, they had a waffle maker and syrup which is one of my all time favorites. There was a restaurant across the street that served a buffet for supper.

Kathy and I had a terrific overnight stay at Tudor Rose. It was referred to us from several sources as far away as Breckenridge. The Lancaster room was comfortable and clean. Jon went out of his way to accommodate us for breakfast since we had to eat and check out early. We are planning to come back again on our next trip to Colorado. Thank you.
Jon and Terre were friendly and full of information on the area. They enjoyed sharing their knowledge with us. The food is excellent. The area is quiet and peaceful - just what we needed. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.
We had an amazing discussion with the host at the evening! The house is very nice and the breakfast was delicious.
An experience that everyone should have at least once !! I recommend Tudor Rose for more reasons than one can count.Location, amenities, service could not be bettered. Jon & Terri (hosts there for 23 years) take care of you like you are family.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Tudor Rose B&B. The rooms were quiet and comfortable and the hosts were very friendly. This is a great place to stay if you are in the area.
Stayed in Chalet 4 for 2 nights, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Place was clean, bright and comfortable. Had everything we possibly could have needed in kitchen. Enjoyed our stay tremendously and will certainly remember this place should be be in Salida again.
The chalet and its window views was very aesthetically pleasing. It is surrounded by mountains in Salida. If you want well maintained and privacy this is a great place. There is easy access to town from there too. I'd definitely return. Very peaceful stay.
We loved our room and the house. It was a convenient, easy place to stay.
Our party booked several nights at the Tudor Rose, where we have stayed before. On the edge of town and up the hill, it's the best place to stay in Salida, which mostly features chain motels along a busy highway. We enjoyed the quiet property with lots of trees. Our lower-level room was comfortable and cool at night without AC or even the ceiling fan. The inn owners are very attentive and can recommend local hiking trails and sights. Fresh fruit at breakfast was very good and conversation with other guests is always lively. The decor could use an update with light, fresh colors and less brown.
Tudor Rose is a very lovely place tucked away in the mountains around Salida CO. The hosts are very friendly, rooms spacious, and great deck to enjoy.
It was everything I expected and more. Very generous host nice rooms beautiful property wonderful breakfast. I did have one complaint. I left the window open instead of using the in room AC....7:00am the barking dog started and lasted well over 30 minutes. This dog stays on the property but other than that it would have been perfect. I would and will return. Thanks John for a great stay
Comfortable and quiet two nights with delicious breakfasts. The hosts were cordial and helped us feel at home. Great view of the mountains from our room.
The stay was wonderful. The facility and our room was wonderful. Beautifully appointed, convenient, comfortable. You really couldn't ask for more. The breakfast will spoil you. They are creative, interesting, very tasty. The food was outstanding. Finally Jon and Terre are truly great people. Very personable, clearly enjoy what they are doing at the Tudor Rose. Will definitely stay here the next time as well.
Great customer service. The owners are very helpful with any inquiries of the town. It was very quiet, very clean, comfortable and cozy. Breakfast was excellent and if you get a chance, I would recommend trying one of her home baked cookies! They were delicious! It was very close to downtown Salida and cab service was speedy especially for it being New Year Eve.
We had a wonderful time! Nice Gourmet breakfast, good company and John was an excellent host!
Tudor Rose was a quiet, wonderful place to stay. Innkeepers were warm, friendly and inviting. Breakfasts were more than excellent!!! Highly recommend and would return if ever in the area again.
Absolutely EVERYTHING is nice here. We have stayed at the Tudor Rose three times and definitely plan on returning.
Away from the highway and busy town, but 'a minute' away. Very quiet, clean and comfortable room, delightful hosts, pretty setting, and substantial breakfast. Highly recommend this B&B!
This is a great B&B. The area is fantastic. We loved not only the B&B, but the surrounding area. We took full advantage of the [rough] walking trails around the property. Spectacular views. The room was VERY comfortable and the staff were super friendly. Breakfast was DELICIOUS. We will definitely be returning to this B&B.
For some reason the website would not allow me to mark our stay with "outstandings". That is how it should be. My hubby and I were at the Rose May 22 to 25. Wanted a place for relaxing and enjoying just being together. The facility is beautiful and in a quiet out of town spot. Jon and Terre are wonderful hosts. Great food. We had the Queen Elizabeth Suite. It had a large bedroom, a sitting room and a huge bath. It is was in the basement and I could hear people walking around above us. It wasn't loud, but it bothered me. Next time we may opt for an upstairs room or maybe a chalet. Salida is a fun, artsy town. The Arkansas river is just a big creek running through town. To the west are the mountains with lots of hiking and skiing. Every day we took a picnic lunch up to Monach Pass. Gorgeous scenery. This was the second trip to the Rose and we plan to return maybe next year.
We had an issue with the shower, but we mentioned it as we were checking out, and the owner was fixing it before we'd even left. Very nice people; beautiful area. Nice grounds for a nature walk. We can highly recommend this B&B.
This b and b is on a beautiful and quiet piece of land with wonderful views of the mountains. The hosts were friendly and informative. The bed was a bit hard for my husband but I thought it was fine (hence the 3 for rooms). Breakfast was delicious.
We stayed at the chalets for a girls' weekend. It was a really nice place; very quiet and great location. It had just the right amount of room. Terre and Jon are very nice and great hosts. I would stay there again.
My wife and I recently stayed at the Tudor Rose while in Salida for some skiing. What a wonderful place to stay! Everything about the B&B is well thought out and professionally cared for. The rooms are lovely and well-maintained. Every convenience is available or already taken care of. The breakfasts are absolutely delicious, and Jon and Terré are fantastic, genuine, gracious hosts! We could not have been more delighted with our stay! 110 out of 100 stars!!
My daughter and I spent two nights at the Tudor Rose. We absolutely loved our room. The B&B's setting is beautiful and so quiet, yet close to Salida. Terrie and John are fantastic hosts. The breakfasts were tasty and well-prepared. A cut above the "usual" eggs and/or waffles. We definitely intend to return, hopefully for three nights next time.
Absolutely the best B&B trip my wife and I have had.
Enjoyed a one-night stay and wished we could have stayed longer. The room was romantic, spacious, and quiet. The main house was beautiful, aw were the grounds surrounding the house. Enjoyed both afternoon tea and morning coffee on the back deck, while watching hummingbirds. We will be back!
Lovely place, easy to find and a B&B always offers good conversation over breakfast.
Needed a place for just one night and wishing we could have stayed longer. House was comfortable and the room spotless. The owners were easy to reach, very hospitable and friendly. I would have enjoyed walking the grounds/trails around the house if we had more time. Really liked having refreshments out all day and night and the fresh baked cookies in the evening. Really nice touch!
The Tudor Rose B&B is the nicest B&B I have ever stayed in! John and Terre (the owners) are fantastic. They were extremely accommodating to our dietary needs. Thanks for the delicious Gluten Free breakfast! We stayed with our horses - their paddocks are spotless and safe for horses. Even a big turn around for our "rig". Thanks again for your hospitality, service and making us feel so at home! We are coming back! Marguerite, Lisa & Terry

From Stars & Stripes and NPR's 'Talk of the Nation': The latest news on my book
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military from 1991 to 2008 for the Wall Street Journal and then the Washington Post. He can be reached at email@example.com.
Here's a nice review of my new book from Stars & Stripes. (Sorry, Hunter.) They get to the point quickly: "The idea that people who aren't good at their jobs must be fired shouldn't be a revolutionary concept in a place like the Army, where failure gets people killed." The bottom line: "Army leaders would do well to take notes."
I also was on NPR's Talk of the Nation earlier this week with two novelists whose work I admire, Karl Marlantes and Tim O'Brien. They are both Vietnam vets. It was a moving show. I teared up during one of the phone calls.

Aveda Global Creative Director Antoinette Beenders styles interlacing fishtail braids with contrasting shine and mussed texture for the Kimberly Ovitz Spring Summer 2013 Fashion Show.
"The hairstyle combines strong and soft elements, juxtaposing a clean, slicked back front with a romantic, messy tail in the back that was created by massaging intertwined fishtail braids," says Beenders.
1. Spray Aveda Pure Abundance Style Prep throughout hair and blow dry straight.
2. Create a section at the top of the head by parting hair along the parietal ridge on both sides and securing at the top of the head with a clip.
3. Spray hair that is down on each side of the head liberally with Aveda Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray to coat, focusing from root to mid-length.
4. Brush coated hair back and against the head for sleek sides.
5. Pulling those sides back, divide the hair at the back of the head into two sections and braid into two loose fishtails. Back-comb the end of each braid to secure.
6. Release the clip at the top of the head and coat with Aveda Control Force, brushing hair toward the back of the head.
7. Gently massage fishtails to loosen and create texture.
8. Loosely braid the two fishtails and slicked back ends from the top of the head together and secure with a clear elastic, bringing the end of the braid to a point.
9. Pin the top of the braid to the neck to secure.
10. Spray Aveda Brilliant Spray-On Shine over the slicked-back top section and smooth back with a kabuki brush to create a glossy finish.

Crist: I could vote for a Democrat as Senate Majority Leader
posted at 12:20 pm on May 2, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
It's important to remember that this same man told a Fox News Sunday audience five weeks ago that the Republican Party was "wonderful" and that he was "very proud" of it. Charlie Crist sings a much different song for David Gregory on NBC's Meet the Press today. When Gregory asks Crist with which party Crist will choose to caucus, Crist tries to dodge it, saying he'll "caucus with the people of Florida," a nonsensical response that Gregory won't allow to pass. Eventually, Crist declares that he could vote for a Democratic Majority Leader in the upper chamber as easily as a Republican:
GREGORY: "Would you vote for a Republican or a Democratic Majority Leader?"
CRIST: "I might not vote for either one. I'm going to vote for who I think would be best for the people of Florida. And if that happens to be a Democrat, so be it. If it happens to be a Republican, so be it. But I've got to look out for the people of my state."
Oh, my. Joe Lieberman didn't go that far when running as an independent. Everyone knew that Lieberman would caucus with the Democrats; the bigger question was whether the Senate Democrats would allow him to do so.
Many have questioned Crist's sense in abandoning his party for a one-shot run at the US Senate, and this will only deepen the conviction that Crist has completely taken leave of his senses. Does he really believe that in 2010 the electorate wants to endorse current Democratic leadership in Congress? How many independents does he think he'll win by assuring them that he'll vote to maintain the status quo if he goes to Washington?
Crist has become a Party of One, trying to join a Caucus of One. That's likely to be a great description of the rest of his political career.
