Welcome to this first great preview of Arthurian: Total War. We will present you today one of our already favorite factions, the faction of Arthur, also known as Dumnonia:
Preface for all British factions - In the earliest mentions of the islands, they are called 'Prettani', and the inhabitants the 'Pretanes' or 'Pretanni'; the 'Tin Men' due to the high amount of tin exported from the isle to both Phoenicians and Greeks. Conquerors from Gaul spread into Britain, conquering the natives, and bringing Celtic culture, with skills like iron working and early development of medicines. Their culture either violently or by assimilation spread throughout the islands, creating a variety of British-Celtic tribes. Much of the indigenous culture was presumably exterminated or absorbed. The island was always divided between various tribes. The south was eventually mostly subjugated to the Cassi tribe, who evolved into the Catuvellauni. This powerful tribe exerted control over the various Gallic and Belgic tribes that inhabited the south, as well as, possibly, the early Brythonic tribes in the midlands.
As the Romans conquered Gaul and Belgica, many fled to Britain for aide, bolstering this southern kingdom. The south of Britain had always been closer to Gaul and Belgica; the southeast built oppida instead of hillforts, and had larger centralized populations and cities. The whole of the south spoke Gallic and fought in the Gallic manner. The Romans were actually somewhat fearful of invasion due to the military might of the southern British post-20 BC, and had actually begun to plan for a potential invasion of Gaul from the Britons. Such an invasion was presumably going to be driven back, but the risk was not desirable.
The Romans had not faced real Celtic armies in decades, with the exception of a handful of broken, small armies in Gaul, already broken apart between the two main power players vying for Gallic control, and brief skirmishes in Britain under Caesar, though even that was during a transition of power. In Gaul, the Aedui, Roman allies, and the Arverni/Sequanes, Roman enemies, originally held control over most of Gaul's tribes, and had been fighting a centuries long civil war for rule of Gaul. The Aedui invited aide from Romans after the Germans began to invade, but their own senate couldn't agree on this invitation, and ultimately dissolved; much of Gaul fell under the defacto control of Rome over night, due to the Aedui Confederacy's nobles that were loyal to the Roman alliance. Their armies continued to engage the Sequanes until all was spent, and the Romans peacefully absorbed the remainder of their allies into the empire, and used their own armies to put down the tattered remnants of the Gallic armies and the riotous mobs raised by Vercingetorix, though even that came at a price.
The Romans, while later disdainful of Celts, had, at the time, a healthy respect, and even vague fear of Celtic warfare at times. This was the large impetus for concern with a unified power in Britain; even if the armies weren't that large, it was still a well-defended island with numerous forts, as well as desirable resources. The key to invasion came from political dissent in the south; some nobles welcomed an alliance with Rome, and others declared the Romans their enemies, out of concern for the conquest of Gaul. This discord would eventually be to the advantage of Rome.
The crowning moment in this preparedness against invasion was during the reign of the vehemently anti-Roman, and very powerful, King Cunobelin. Roman garrisons intensified along the northern coast in readiness for an invasion. However, the invasion never came. Cunobelin fell ill, and died. His three sons, two anti-Roman, and one pro-Roman, while not elected as the next kings, were still very powerful in British politics.
However, Togodumnus and Caratacus, the anti-Roman sons, cast their younger, pro-Roman brother, Adminius, out of Britain, seizing his lands in what is now Kent. Along with him fled numerous other pro-Roman nobles, such as Verica of the Atrebates. Other pro-Romans were arrested or forced into hiding. Those who escaped appealed to the Romans, failing to gain much sympathy or enough support at first, until Adminius and Verica appealed to Emperor Claudius in person. Having several powerful Roman friends, Verica was aware of Claudius's reputation as a weak emperor, and gave him the pretext to take Britain 'in the name of his allies' to demonstrate his strength.
When the Roman invasion began, Togodumnus had come to power as king. However, he died in the first battle of the invasion, and his brother Caratacus claimed kingship, though, so did Aminius, albeit aware that he was just a face for Roman power in Britain. The success of the Romans in their initial invasion drew the pro-Roman nobles from hiding, and allowed them to raise their own local armies to assist the Romans; among the most notable were the entire sub-kingdoms of the Trinovantes and Dumnones coming to Roman aide. Caratacus was driven into the midlands, where he continued his war against the Romans.
Caratacus, though, was driven from there, and fled to the kingdom of the Brigantes. The queen of Brigantia, Cartimandua, was a supporter of the Romans though, and had Caratacus arrested and handed over to the Romans, where he was taken to Rome as a prize of the war, and awaited his ritual execution.
So respected was he though, amongst Britons and Romans alike, he was taken before the Roman senate, and Emperor Claudius, before his execution. The real speech is lost, though Tacitus recorded a version of it, which ends with; "If you want to rule the world, does it follow that everyone else welcomes enslavement?" Whatever he really said, it convinced the emperor to spare him. With Caratacus defeated, the only remaining genuine foe was Venetius, who seized control of Brigantia from his ex-wife Cartimandua. Upon Venetius's death, Brigantia was seized by the Romans, and years of war and sporadic raids from Caledonians would begin.
Britain was effectively a Roman dominion. However, problems in other parts of the empire slowly allowed the defenses of Roman Britain to deteriorate. The Picts came into existence, and allied themselves with the king of the Gaels, who promptly began raids and invasion, and helped arm the Picts, making their own raids substantially more destructive. Even as such events were driven back, they could never be fully stopped, and Britain quickly became a liability. Germanic incursions in the empire clinched it, and the Romans abandonned the island to its own devices. The British tribes, never as fully Romanized as Gauls, recobbled themselves into numerous small kingdoms under Roman or Romano-British lords. Northern Britons, Picts, Angles, Saxons, and Gaels carved out more kingdoms in Britain, taking advantage of the weakened Romano-British. The island was utterly fractured between a huge number of warring powers, both local and foreign. Germanic invaders drove some to flee the island, and invade Brittany, setting up even more petty kingdoms. The war for Britain was, as such, a massive, fractured affair between dozens of minor powers, trying to carve out a land for their clans, kingdoms, and tribes.
Britain was weakened after Maximus Magnus left. This great general took most the British legions with him, landed in Gaul and killed Gratien, the Western Emperor, and then was proclaimed by his troops as the new Emperor. In a fatal error though, he attack Rome. Theodosius, the Eastern Emperor, defeated him, and Maximus was finally executed in 388 AD. His army was told to protect northern Gaul, it was the first installation of Britons in Armorica. In 408 AD, another Roman general, Constantine tried the same, and this left Britain without any legion to protect it. The emperor Honorius told the Britons to defend themselves in 410 AD. Britons however staid mostly Roman and Christian in mind, despite of still observing lot of Celtic customs and speaking Celtic languages, though heavily influenced in many respects by Latin.
Around 420-450 AD, power in Britain was divided between Coel Hen, Dux Bellorum of North Britain, based at Caer Ebrauc, the ancient Eboracum, capitol of the Legions, and the High King Vortigern. Vortigern invited the Jut Hengist to settle in the Isle of Tanet, and to help the Britons against Picts and Gaels. Vortigern himself marry Rowenna, Hengist's daughter. But the Germans soon rebelled and a great battle is fought at Aylesford in 455 AD. The forces both parlayed to find a compromise, and to celebrate peace they would met at Stonehenge for a great feast, without weapons. However, the Jutes commited treason and killed the 300 Briton chiefs who had nothing to defend themselves with. Vortigern was captured and forced to give the whole of Kent or Cantware to Hengist. Vortimer, Vortigern's son, led an army against Hengist but he was defeated and killed at Crayford, in 457 AD.
Soon after, Ambrosius Aurelianus, also known as Emrys Gwledig, rose against Vortigern with part of the Britons. He besieged Vortigern in Gwynedd, and it's said that Vortigern finally burned in his fortress of Dynas Emrys. Ambrosius became the high king of the Britons, contending the Juts and the Saxons, and settled some dynasties in Western Armorica which would eventually become Brittany. Ambrosius was probably the same character as Riothamus, recorded, as fighting Euric's Visigoths in Gaul for the Romans, his legendary brother and maybe the commander of his cavalry (Magister Equitum, Pen-dragon) was Uther. Ambrosius seemed to have been poisoned by Pasgen, one of the remaining sons of Vortigern, around 469 AD, and his brother probably died in the same way soon after.
Is Arthur the son of Uther? Some historians claim that Arthur didn't exist at all. Some other claim he was only a warlord, and not a king. He is also identified with lot of petty kings, named Arthur, Arthuis or Arthwyr, common names in the VIth century. The main lack about Arthur is historical sources. The only Briton text we have from Arthur's period is St. Gildas 'De Excidio Brittaniae'. Gildas speak about Ambrosius, about Badon Hill, and about various kings, his 'tyrants', but not about Arthur himself. Later sources, such as Nennius's 'Historia Brittonum', written in the IXth century, the Welsh Annals or Geoffrey of Monmouth 'Historia Regnum Brittanae', and of course Welsh and Briton legends, tell us about Arthur. Nennius list 12 battles fought by Arthur, and the Welsh Annals mention the victory of Badon in 516 AD and the death of Arthur at Camlann in 537 AD. However, those texts didn't mention clearly who Arthur was. We have choosen to portray him as the son of Uther, and the cousin of Gereint of Dumnonia. There are also recently discovered Irish sources, speaking about a Briton king named Arghair, once a chief in a southern kingdom of Britain, then rose to kingship of 'the south', and then the king of all Britain, and allied to Irishmen. Following our theory, Arthur was born around 455-465 AD, and after a civil war he became the Amherawddyr, Imperator, Dux Bellorum, High-King or simply military leader of all the Britons. He won a series of victories against Picts, Angles and Saxons across all Britain, to his final victory of Badon Hill, probably in 496 AD. This victory stopped the Saxon advance in Western Britain for around 50 years, though the Saxons and Angles took some major cities in East and South Britain, leading to another civil war and the battle of Camlann, possibly fought in 532 AD, where Arthur was killed by his nephew and rival Medrawt. This was the end of a united Britain.
The fight for Britain wasn't over yet. If in the south, Dyfneint lost the battle of Deorham in 570 AD, the fight would be hard for Wessex to take them over, and Exeter, Dyfneint capital, is only taken in 938 AD. Most of middle Britain fell to Angles in the VIth century, as well as the strong kingdom of Ebrauc, weakened by wars with other Britons. A northern coalition, led by Urien Rheged, was next to be destroyed as the Angles conquered lands in Northern Britain, when the king Morcant Bulc of Bryneich, once Urien's ally, order the assassination of Urien, this leading to the dissolution of the alliance and the fall of Rheged. Around 620 AD, Ceretic the king of Elmet was beaten by the rising Northumbrian power. Gododdin's capital, Din Eidyn, fell to Northumbria in 638 AD. In the second half of the VIIth century, most of ancient Briton kingdoms had been replaced by the new powers of Wessex, Mercia and Northumbria. In the North, Alcluyd is still standing, and will only be incorporated to Scotland's kingdom in the XIth century. The Western Britons began to call themselves 'Cymry', meaning 'Comrades', while being named Wealas, foreigners by the Saxons that stole their land. In the south, Dumnonia, now called Cornwall, still fight against Wessex, and across the sea, the Britons of Brittany, or Bretons, became a rival power of the powerful Franks.
Dyfneint History
The Dumnonii, during the second Roman invasion, were subjects of the Catuvellauni. However, when their exiled king was returned by the Romans to his seat at Isca, having earlier been banished for pro-Roman views, the kingdom was indepedent, and proceeded swiftly to ally with the Romans, providing British soldiers to help the Roman invasion. They exercised an amount of indepedence, or even possibly near-total indepedent rule, despite being Roman subjects. Locally produced weapons and armor were still prevalent under Roman rule, so a formal, tight alliance seems somewhat likely, as Roman subjects were not generally allowed to raise their own soldiers, though the possibility of some manner of auxilia locally raised is likely too. In any event, they were a stable, well-organized kingdom, and when the Romans withdrew, Dumnonia, composed of the lands of Dyfneint and Cornubia, was quite stable.
In any event, the kingdom was reestablished officially around 290 AD as semi-indepedent. However, it was clearly influenced culturally by the Romans, and some manner of prigomeniture was introduced, in place of Celtic tanistry. The first of these new kings was Caradoc or Caratacus, named after the king who had fought the Romans, and was, even in Roman Britain, considered a hero by the Britons and Romans both. He was the advisor of Eudaf Hen in Gwent. Rule in Brittany was also apparent, and his successor, his grandson-in-law, Conan Meriadoc took the title of king of Britanny, and gave Dumnonia to his eldest son, by Ursula, Gadeon, or Cadfan, who was a vassal of Magnus Maximus. Conan became general after Maximus died, and was originally given the territory of Brittany, and much of the rest of northern Gaul, on orders to defend it from the barbarians.
Around 435 AD, Constantine, or Custennyn, came to power, and he eventually split the kingdom between his two sons, between Dyfneint for Erbin, and Cornubia or Kernow for Merchion. Erbin abdicated in favor of his first son, Gereint Llyngesog ab Erbin. Gereint Llyngesog, and his brother Dywel, father of St. Pirran, legendarily served with Arthur. Gereint is legendarily also the cousin of Arthur, and was likely his vassal, as Arthur would have been Amherawddyr, the king of Britain, and likely from Dyfneint himself. This would mean that Gereint would not have been the actual king until Arthur had died. However, Gereint possibly died at Llongporth in 508, though it also may been later, around 520, as it may have actually been Dywel to die at Llongporth, meaning the death dates are confused.
It is possible Arthur himself was from Dumnonia. According to Geoffrey of Monmouth, Arthur was concieved at Tintagel, part of what is modern Cornwall. While his place of birth is unmentioned, it is assumed he was born and raised there. However, Tintagel castle as it stands today is not nearly that old; rather, the original castle was built in the mid 1100s, and the extensions in the 1200s. However, the island itself was indeed inhabitted in Arthur's day, and not only in a slight sense. Aside from the seventy or more medieval stone buildings, there are dark age stone and turf structures, filled with mediterranean pottery from the 5th and 6th century; more such pottery than is found in all the rest of Britain. In the mid 5th century, this position was fortified, and in 1998, a slate plaque, with a Latin inscription, reads 'Artognou father of Coll had this building made'; Artognou being a form of Arthur. This region was an important trade site, and the fortifications reveal it was a fortress, and potentially the seat of his power. This would mean Arthur, not Gereint, was king of Dumnonia, and likely applied to him more of a governorship, until either Arthur or Gereint died.
Arthur would have then likely become the Amherawddyr, High King or Imperator, of Britain. This put him in the position to have strong influence in all the Brythonic kingdoms, in both Britain and Brittany, and the power to led all Britons against their foes, in a series of victories against Picts, Angles and Saxons. His greatest victory was Badon Hill, most likely fought around 496 AD. Although St. Gildas doesn't record Arthur as the Briton's commander in this battle, later sources such as Nennius and Irish evidence, not yet very well known, do. The most probable theory is that Arthur stopped the Saxon army led by Aelle around Caer Baddan, now modern Bath. This clearly stopped Germanic offensives against Britons for about 50 years. Arthur is also likely to have been allied with Irish kingdoms, and Gaels record that a great British king 'from the south' died fighting the Picts in helping Dal Raida; the same king was said to have ruled all of Britain. This king may have been Arthur - despite it is also often believed that Arthur died fighting his rival Medrawt in a civil war, at Camlann around 532 AD, maybe Medrawt was allied with those Picts. After him, no king would be strong enough to unite the Britons against the Angles and Saxons, except Urien of Rheged in the late VIth century.
Dyfneint also exerted a strong protectorate in Brittany, on continental Dumnonia, or Domnonée. This territory was given to the Britons by the Franks in 497 AD, and Riwallon, a prince of Dyfneint, settled there. Most Britons settlers in Brittany probably came from Dyfneint and southern kingdoms, such as Gwent or Dyfed.
Geraint's dynasty seemed to reclaim power in Dyfneint, under his son Cado, and probably after him Constantine Corneu, recorded by Gildas as one of the tyrants of Britain. Justinian's plague affected southern Britain, but not Saxons, and seeing their enemy weaken, the Saxons retook the offensive. Cerdic of Wessex had already sized a little part of Dyfneint, around Venta Belgarum, modern Winchester, and Ynys Weith. In 552 AD, Cealwin take Old Sarum and the plain of Salisbury. A terrible strike was given to the Britons, at Deorham, north of Bath, in 577 AD. The Britons were beaten by Cealwin, and 3 of their kings were killed there. The Saxons took the control of three important cities, Caer Baddan (Bath), Caer Gloui (Gloucester) and Caer Ceri (Cirencester), and separating Dyfneint from Gwent and the other Briton kingdoms. However, Dyfneint didn't fall. It became known as Kernyw, or Cornwall, probably after the name the Saxons give to Dyfneint's Britons, the Corn-o-Wealas, and the foreigners of the south. Cornwall capital, Caer Uisc, modern Exeter, fell to Wessex in 711 AD, but the city was retaken in 722 AD after the victory of River Camel. Finally Exeter fell to Wessex in 938 AD, and the Britons of Cornwall were cantoned to a small territory at the west of the Tamar River. William's Normans conquered them soon after Hastings, but today Cornwall stays Brythonic in her mind.
Now we show you a part of the Dumonian army:
Aulue (Town Militia)
It was a legal obligation for all men over a certain age to fight when required in Briton kingdoms, indeed most, if not all, saw it as a great privilage and were eager for battle. Many kept their own weapons so men could be rapidly form militia units (or Aulue) when their kingdom needed their service. They often fought surprisingly well, but were quick to turn tail and run if things were going badly. Briton militia units were neither well nor badly equipped and could hold their own in a fight, but a wise commander will note their limitations and not commit them against heavily armed elite troops.
Rherel (Heavy spearmen)
The spear was a very popular weapon in Britain, even with those who could afford swords instead. The well equiped retainers of the noble class carried both sword and spear into battle making them exceptionally versatile and a challenging adversary. The Rherel were the personal body guard of nobles or lesser nobles themselves, their elite rank and high status being identified by their red cloaks. Their employers wealth also meant they could afford the very best scale or chain mail armour available, on top of which they carried a round shield and wore a helmet. Being so heavily armed made this infantry unit a very deadly and unstoppable force in combat.
Campwyrau (Champions)
The Campwyrau were the champions of the Britons' armies. Although not always nobles, they were professional soldiers who, through their brave deeds on the field of battle, earned prestige, fame and wealth. This meant they were given or could afford state of the art weapons and armour. Expensive swords, intricately made and strong armour and their all round experience and ferocity made the Campwyrau dangerous opponents; more than a match for most other infantry and even cavalry. Any British general can rest assured that his Campwyrau will make a good accounting of themselves, and not to flee at the first sign of danger.
Light troops
Literally mean brave men, the Arwrweision are the veterans of numerous battles, they are the non-noble elite of a British Chieftains army. It was considered an honour amongst Britons to be drafted into military service, so all able-bodied men had a weapon and were up for a fight. Carrying similar equipment to their fellow peasants, swords, bows and shields, the defining characteristic of the Arwrweision is that, although they share their comrades eagerness for battle, they dont share their eagerness to run away.
Saethwyr (bowmen)
The Saethwyr were peasant levies with a skill for archery. Skill with the bow was a way of life during the dark ages, particularly amongst the Britons. Hunting was a popular passtime and this developed the archery skills of the populace, at this time other sports were often banned in favour of archery practice. Archers were generally the mainstay of the armies of the Britons, the terrain of Britain suiting mobile ranged units far better than sluggish heavy infantry and cavalry. The Saethwre are equally adept at a guerilla role or as a ranged component of a larger army, but a commander would be wise to ensure that they avoid closer combat.
Marchogluoedd (Light cavalry)
Britain's wide variety of landscapes meant certain kingdoms, where the land was flatter and more horse-friendly, employed very cavalry oriented armies; the Marchogluoedd were the fast agile scouts of these armies. Riding the fastest horses their land could muster, these lightly armed and lightly armoured warriors would rush ahead of the main host peppering the enemies with javelins and making careful observations and reporting enemy positions to their commanders. These scouts wore no armour and carried no weapons apart from their javelins, which could of course act as improvised spears, as such they sould be kept as far away from combat as possible.
The Marca were the standard cavalry soldiers of Briton armies. Like almost all soldiery of the time, the Marca had to provide and maintain their own equipment, including their horse, meaning their ranks were generally made up of wealthy individuals who could afford such luxuries. They were well armed, carrying a round shield, sword, scale armour, helmet, and javelins; equipment similar to that of their Roman predecessor, the scutarii. The Marca fought as standard medium cavalry, moving forward, throwing their javelins and then charging while the enemy is in disarray. While they can cope with lightly armed troops, against more elite forces they may struggle.
Marchomawr (Heavy cavalry)
Britons were well known in the dark ages for their cavalry. In the poem 'y Gododdin', by the bard Aneurin, 300 British horsemen fought Angle invaders at Cathraeth in the kingdom of Gododdin and only one returned, Aneurin himself. The Machromawr are made up of men from the richest warrior households who can afford a good horse, a sword, a round shield, helm and chain mail or scale armour. These well armoured powerful horsemen make a formidable opponent, but must be commanded correctly to be truly devestating in battle.
Marca Dumonyna
AoR Dyfneint
The wealth, fertile soil and landscape of Dumnonia (modernday Devon, South West England) allowed the locals to breed horses that weren't just beasts of burden; they bred powerful warhorses and became renowned for their horsemanship in the field of battle. Dumnonia is supposedly the setting for Camelot and their cavalry no doubt inspiring the legends of Arthur and his knights (some even claim that Arthur was a Dumnonian warlord).
Our little surprise,
Arthur himself.
Now, an AAR to show you Arthur's army in action.

I was recently asked this and once again I knew it was somebody else's expression of being uncomfortable with the subject. My answer to this question is: Of course I can but what other subject is so pertinent right now?
I could care less who was at your dinner party or what kind of car you drive. I don't care what you do for a living and what tax bracket you're in. I don't need to know what exotic place you went to on vacation. Who cares what private school you sent your kids to or how big your house is.
Here's what I want to know: What did you do today to make someone's life a little more bearable? What words of comfort did you offer to someone who is in a lot of pain? How much of your time is spent volunteering to be a good Samaritan? Do you really need that expensive cup of coffee when there's a mother standing nearby with a cardboard sign begging for money to feed her kids? Do you really need that designer pair of heels when there are kids out there who need warm clothes for the winter?
Do you think complaining about your day compares to families out on the street looking for a safe place to sleep at night? Does bitching about what you don't have the same as knowing that without health insurance and a safe place to rest, you will die of cancer in your car because there is no place else to go? How come you're not helping that family member by offering to babysit so they can keep their job when all you're doing is hanging out at the golf course for hours on end?
You see there is a disease that is so common in the world yet its victims aren't even aware that they're infected. It's called Ass-ism and it's symptoms are ass-like. Here's some examples:
"It's not my problem you're homeless."
"They didn't manage their money right."
"I got my own problems to worry about."
"Somebody else will take care of it."
"I just don't have the money to help anybody" – Then you see this person buying a $5.00 latte and getting into a new car
"Well, the best thing for homeless people to do is to give up their kids until they get their lives straight."
"I don't feel sorry for the bums I see out in the street. If they're a drug addict or a drunk, they deserve to be there."
"I don't want those tent cities in my backyard. My kids don't need to see that."
If you run across people displaying ass-like symptoms, be careful around them so that you too won't be infected. It is highly contagious and difficult to cure. Most are in denial of the disease but it is rapidly on the rise.
Gone are the days that I allow careless comments about my situation to go unanswered. Gone is the time wasted on pretending to everyone that we're not in hell. Gone is my attitude that I am to blame for this. Gone is the attitude yours will be after I educate you on the facts of how I got here. Gone will be your excuses for turning a blind eye to your responsibility to us for letting us fall through the cracks.
We are all around you and homelessness recruits new members every day. It is time you see us. It is time you heard us. It is time to stop criminalizing us. It is time for YOU to get involved.
Little things mean a lot…..
Posted by in Helping hands | Homelessness | Uncategorized - (2 Comments)With so many people out there who need help, I wonder about things. I wonder how hard it would be to find good Samaritans in every community that would be interested in helping out people who just need a little help to make things easier to get by. I'd call it "Little things mean a lot" or something like that. For people working a non-living wage job, sometimes having a ride to work now and then will save them from spending money on public transportation or stretch gas money until the next payday. Local food banks are falling short of being able to feed the hungry and one thing they are lacking is fresh produce items like fruits and vegetables. Maybe you have a large garden or enough space around you to start a pea-patch. Whatever is grown would be a great donation. I can't tell you all how many times I've walked through neighborhoods full of trees with fruit rotting on the ground all around them.
For single parents like myself, not having a place for my kids to go to before and after school determined how long I'd be able to keep a job. In Seattle, for $15.00 my teen could get an annual pass to drop in after school at the local Boys & Girls Club. When I was living out of an r.v. and spending days at a local park, some folks there amazed me with their ingenuity. There were a couple of young families with kids and both parents worked but could not afford daycare. There were a few retirees nearby that "volunteered" during the summer to be in the park all day to watch over the kids by making sure they were safe from predators and bullies. Somehow picnics just happened to be a daily activity at the park especially in the summer. Some of these kids wouldn't have eaten that day if those picnics weren't so coincidental. I deliberately made a point of having barbecues there since hamburgers and hotdogs don't cost much. Although it was never talked about out loud, many parents were thankful that their kids were being watched while they were at work. During bad weather, two struggling mom's living in apartment complexes nearby took turns reserving the cabana rooms to hold pizza parties so that the kids would be warm and dry and if the cabana wasn't available, they would divide the kids up and let them hang out at their places until the parents got home. One of the mom's had a van and she would also drive the kids down the hill to the local library. All of this and yet not one person complained about being inconvenienced.
One way I kept kids busy at the park was to teach them things. I taught a lot of girls how to knit or crochet and basic sewing. One boy surprised me because he took to crocheting better than most of the girls! Most of the boys were fascinated when I showed them native survival skills. They wanted to know what plants could be foraged, how to find clean water out in the woods, how to whittle or fashion emergency items from whatever was lying around. By the time their parents got back, they didn't want to leave. Telling these kids stories amused me more than anything just by watching the expressions on their faces.
Senior citizens need help too. Sometimes they can't afford their heating bill in the summer or need someone to come out and mow their lawns. I used to help a man with Alzheimer's clean his house because he was having a difficult time doing basic things. Eventually his daughter brought him to live with her but she was thankful that I kept an eye on him until she was able to move him.
I'm sure there's other things that can be done as each community has its own needs and I wonder at how much of a logistical nightmare it would be to create such a network of helping hands but in these times, can any of us really afford not to help?
"How do I tell you, all the things I have felt for you? I have felt your sorrow, your anguish, your frustration and your joy. I have stood in the shadows, watching. Every struggle you've had, every triumph you've won, I was a spectator to. When you felt the world was too heavy to bear, I stood by you. When you felt alone the most, I carried you. Who am I you ask? I am you….." Indy
Today I write because I must not allow myself to sink into depression. I decided a long time ago that I must focus my energy into other things, positive things. Why should I fear tomorrow when tomorrow isn't here yet? I still have things to be thankful for, even though my present situation may not seem like it. Most of my fears have nothing to do with me but everything to do with my girls.
You see there is a memory I have that won't stop haunting me. Before I became homeless, there were these two girls that lived in my neighborhood. They were 11 and 12. They suffered constant homelessness because of the choices their parents made and unfortunately, no one seemed to care. I tried to call social services to see what could be done for them and they were well aware of the family I was asking about. While working a second job on the graveyard shift at the 7-11 on the corner of my block, I saw these two girls out past midnight hanging out with their aunt who was a known drug addict and prostitute. They wore way too much make-up and I had a sinking feeling about what they were up to. During the day these same kids would walk around the neighborhood begging for food to eat as their aunt had several children that looked awfully neglected. I did what I could but I was angry at this aunt and she knew I was. I started making sandwiches for those kids because if no one else would step up to help, I would.
One night I didn't see the girls and assumed that they might have moved on to another motel for a while. They had relatives that lived in nearby apartments but I didn't see any of the kids there. Call it intuition but something about not seeing them gave me a bad feeling. A few days later while picking up my daughter from the babysitter's, I found out that the bodies of those two girls were found near Bothell in shallow graves. I felt like someone had punched me in the chest. I blamed myself for not doing more to prevent this and the anger and frustration I have felt at what happened to those girls has been with me ever since. This is not where I want to see my kids headed.
People who have never experienced homeless often think the worst of those who do. We're just like you. Some of us have self-induced problems that led us into homelessness, others landed on the street because they have no safety net. Here in Washington, there is a shelter crisis because families that lost their homes and jobs are filling them up. None of that however, compares to lack of help from family members.
So while you're sitting there reading this or watching some tragic news on television, please don't say "Somebody ought to do something", because really, you are that somebody.
Oh thank god! My financial aid went through and the notices about repaying my student loans have stopped! That's one less thing I have to stress over! Now I just have to get a regular income going so I don't feel like such a loser…..
I think Caly went back to work today but she also has dialysis right after. I just hope it doesn't wear her down too much but we'll see.
The mini-van needs a tune up badly but until I get paid, I'm stuck. The storage unit rental is due on the first and that's only a few days away. Once again I find myself juggling to pay bills without a job! I hope the financial award is here before October because I really need to pay that storage unit. I'm working on downsizing it but I still have to pay for gas to and from it even if I dump everything at a thrift store. I just hope the van doesn't break down in the middle of nowhere not for myself but because it will interfere with getting stuff to Nickelsville.
I am starting to get annoyed with my mother as she seems to feel the need to keep asking on my Facebook page who else is donating besides herself, Caly and I. Really? You have to know you're not the only one because what, somehow you don't have the compassion to help out on your own?? I don't share much with her because there's never been a mother/daughter relationship between us, something I won't repeat with my own girls. When I feel myself getting annoyed or frustrated with people, I step back, breathe deeply and meditate. It is no wonder things ar harder than they need to be. People are their own worst enemy because they tend to walk around with blinders on. Why is it we tend to see the world only through our perspective instead of trying to see another's?
Today I really observed and interacted with the folks on Twitter thanks to Mr. Horvath. I have to admit that I didn't know what to think when Josie from change.org sent me an introduction email about him. Yes, I saw posts on the site with his name on it and read his story but never did I think I'd actually talk to him or chat with him over the internet. I felt intimidated by him because I saw all this stuff he was doing to help others but now I see he has the same worrys as the rest of us. I hope (like the rest of us) he doesn't stress out too much about the next project or what he's going to do after his road trip is done. They say where one door closes, another one opens.There is a fire inside his soul that most don't have. I see in him a compassion many fear to embrace and that is a rarity among men I think. The world needs more like him and for his sake, our sakes, I hope his compassion never burns out.
"The hero is the one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by. The saint is the man who walks through the dark paths of the world, himself a light."
~Felix Adler
P.S. – Thanks to my sense of humor, it won't be long before Mr. Horvath regrets showing me how to get on Twitter!
I spent the day collecting donations for Nickelsville. I was able to get cases of instant noodles, cup o'soup, oatmeal, coffee, tea, bananas, hotdogs, hotdog buns, cans of soup and peaches along with non food items such as laundry detergent, paper plates, plastic spoons and forks. My step dad even donates a roll of construction plastic which surprised me but was thankful for it as I'm sure the resourceful folks at Nickelsville will put it to good use.
Caly ended up volunteering to drive down there with her car because on the way back from my mother's place, my van started acting funny. I think it would be a good idea not to drive it too far until I can get it tuned up and have the transmission looked at. We got down to the University District around 9 pm and the folks there looked surprised to what we had brought them. I cannot put into words what it felt like to see that look. I honestly believe that they were not expecting anyone to go out of their way to help. I may be homeless but that doesn't mean I can live without honor. I cannot look the other way when so many need help and it seems to me that the only people willing to help are those of us fighting in the same war.
I am surprised that my mother bothered to help donate because this is not a normal activity for her but the fact that she did will help people she may never take the time to meet. Caly said she wished she could do more. I figure a little eventually adds up to a lot.
I was proud of my teen for helping unload the back of Caly's car. I'm not sure what she's thinking just yet but I hope that seeing Nickelsville for herself will show her that she's not the only homeless young person out there. She did wonder why we decided to show up at night. I told her that for one thing, there's less traffic. The other thing is that I don't need to make a public display of helping others out. Just knowing those folks will wake up to a pleasant surprise is enough for me.
My youngest got off the bus without her coat. I told her she better not get off the bus tomorrow without it because we don't have the money to get another coat for her. That was a fairly expensive coat I was lucky enough to get at a 60% off the last marked price sale. I will send an email to her teacher to see if it is somewhere in the classroom. I got an email today from Mrs. D asking if what she sees in class everyday is typical. I sent an email asking what she meant by that and it would seem that my daughter is not doing her work when asked, something she pulled last year when Mr. Z called her on it. She's been fighting me after school in doing her homework and that's a habit I'm going to break.
I saw in the local paper a family event being held in the next city over which is Buckley. This weekend is National Alpaca Day and there will be all kinds of activities for the kids. I told little hard head that unless she straightens up her act, the rest of us will be going to the little fair. Hopefully this will give her an incentive to get her homework done and pay attention in class.
It would seem that my teenager has finally made a friend at school and wants to spend the weekend over at this girl's house. I of course said that I want to meet this kid's mother first. At least they only live a few blocks from Caly's place so I know where they'll be.
On a rather disappointing note, I asked folks I know if they could spare three bucks to buy a box or case of top ramen noodles that I could donate to Nickelsville. Not one person bothered to respond back to me. I will scrape up three dollars for a case of instant noodles because they need the food more than I do at the moment. I guess I should've known because outside of Caly, nobody bothered to help prevent me from becoming homeless by helping out with childcare when I worked two jobs.
I'm still waiting for financial aid to process my application for next year because my stomach is still in knots over the $88.00 a month I have to pay back for student loans. I checked child support and as I expected, nothing. While waiting, I will continue making clothes for the kids. As long as they don't get sick all the time, it will help. They just got over some kind of flu-like bug and can't afford to miss days from school.

Great location.
Room not ready on arrival. Not very clean, and lacked a relaxed atmosphere you want after a long hot day seeing the sights. Unpleasant husband and wife running the guesthouse.
The location is perfect, nice staff, you can have free coffee and tea. The breakfast is ok
Even if it's written that the breakfast starts at 6:30am, it isn't open before 8, so we didn't eat before to catch the bus to Thailand..

The situation is very good Value for money
Only cleaned the rooms rooms once in the week we stayed. Rooms air con not good.
It's very close to Pub Street and the Night Market, which is great. Also, they have the restaurant right in the guesthouse. I had food there since it was raining, and the food is really good. Also, they have a pool table - a great place to relax with a cocktail.
First, the surrounding isn't very clean. There were mud and puddles on the way. Second, I feel like the staff wasnt totally honest. Like I clearly ordered a $2 for gin and tonic but the guy made it $3 since he used the Bombay, not the normal gin. Also, when I played pool, I order rum and sprite for $2, but he again charged me more for $2.50. I should have asked why. Third, they cleaned the room but when we came back, only my friend's bed was clean. Mine was still a mess.
Large, comfortable room. Quiet at night. Very friendly staff. Easy to meet fellow travellers. Wide variety of delicious food available for breakfast, lunch and dinner at a reasonable price. Good location. Excellent tuk tuk service for airport pick up & day trips.
Lots of mosquitoes in the communal area especially in the evening, we got bitten lots! Laundry came back smelling a little strange, I think it may have been packaged while still damp so make sure you open it all out and air it asap!
great location,nice staff,perfect!
water smell weird,after shower still felt sticky on hair and skin,i believe there have no filter in many hotels.We force to buy big bottles of water to wash our face and brush teeth.
Room quite big and very comfortable. The staff is very kind
The food wasn't that good for the money
Friendly staff, arranged affordable, convenient trips to Angkor Wat for us. Good ac and very clean, also cheap laundry!
No complaints, great deal for the price.
Good opportunity to get arrangement for the Angkor visit with organized TukTUk drivers by the owner. Free pick-up at the airport, email communication with the owner to get everything arranged. Value for money.
TukTuk driver does`nt speak english and dissappeared from the agreed meeting point. Called the guesthouse and they did not pick up the contact phone for 30 minutes. Phone number schould work in case of any emergency.
The place is very clean and it is nice looking with the french colony style.
Everything was fine
Beautiful hotel with a convenient terrace. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was well insulated so we only had to make little use of the air conditioning (which was anyway quiet).
Friendly staff and very helpful, safe area. Clean and tidy, big rooms. Good location for town, would recommend to everyone.
It's cheap and not far from centre.
Staff really friendly and big room and well positioned to the city centre
meal in the accomodation a bit to high priced
Simple guesthouse with basic amenities. Room & bathroom is spacious for 2pax. They provide free rental for bicycle which is good for safe money. The location is quite near to the town. This guesthouse is recommended for a budget travellers/backpackers.
the water inside the bathroom have weird taste & smell. We were not sure is it because their water supply is been coroded?
The personnel, food, drinks and overall were great! Lovely place, great people, heart-stealing little girl. Loved it
Clean, Stylish, Convenient. Food and draft beer are very good. High cost performance!
The water is somewhat pungent.

Colonial League tourney talk tonight
Total People in Discussion: 0
Chris Michael tells me that he'll have Notre Dame boys basketball coach Pat Boyle and Catasauqua coach Eric Snyder on tonight's RCN4 "Sports Talk" show at 6 p.m. The main topic will be the Colonial League tournament on tap next week which will feature Boyle's Crusaders and Snyder's Roughies as well as Southern Lehigh and Wilson.
Right now, we don't know the exact pairings, although we do know the semis will be played Tuesday night at Northern Lehigh with the finals set for Friday at either Liberty or Freedom, depending on which facility the Lehigh Valley Conference uses.
If you can catch the show on RCN4, there's a radio replay on WGPA (1100 AM) at 4 p.m. Friday.

I felt like a prize turkey at the end!
10:31pm Sunday 9th December 2007 in Your Say
WITH the finishing line in sight, so the tension becomes greater. After today, it's 74 races down, with six to go, and put bluntly there is no way I'm not going to complete this epic journey. I've told friends that even if I was to pick up a major injury now, I would take pain-killing injections and limp over the line if need-be.
But standing on the start line in Nottinghamshire today, there was no hiding the pressure. It's not been the greatest week for me from a personal point of view, with plenty of distractions and worries. When you're running your carry those worries with you. They loom large when you're struggling in a race, when the seeds of doubt appear, when your body is feeling lethargic and is questioning whether you want to go on.
I was nervous competing at Keyworth, a little village just outside of Nottingham for the Turkey Trot Half Half Marathon. This was the final 13-mile run of the year. After this for the remaining six races there was nothing more than a couple of 10km races. Get over the Turkey Trot and it really is plain sailing to the finale in Derbyshire on New Year's Eve.
After seven miles on a blustery Sunday morning in the East Midlands, I was running ragged and going through the motions. The course was hilly and challenging, but it is the type of terrain I enjoy. I couldn't get going, my mind was elsewhere and I couldn't wait to get this race out of the way.
Then, out of the blue, our small pack of runners was passed by a disabled runner wearing a pair of carbon fibre transtibial artificial limbs - similar to those worn by Blade Runner Oscar Pistorius. He just scorched past us, and we looked at each other in wonder at this amazing runner. "Well, at least he doesn't have to stop to tie up his shoelaces," was all I could say.
To be fair, we weren't running slowly and strolling along at seven-and-a-half minute mile, but this fella just eased past, the blades which looked like upside question marks, just skimming across the Tarmac road. I felt as if I had been left standing, and that moment gave me the massive kick up the backside I needed.
The route of the Turkey Trot took us mainly down country lanes and through picturesque villages. As I began to enjoy the race, I picked up the pace and the miles were very quickly rattled off.
For the leading finishers, they each received a prize turkey. I finished 195th from a field of 762 runners in a time of 1hr 38min 6sec. I felt like a prize turkey, but was glad to have wrapped up race 74. The end really is in sight.

Do you think those "life begins at conception" prolifers know…
A chemical pregnancy is a clinical term for a very early miscarriage. It happens before an ultrasound could even detect a heartbeat (before the 5th week of gestation). This occurs when an egg is fertilized but it does not implant on the uterine wall. Chemical pregnancies are actually quite common, occurring in 50 - 60% of first pregnancies. [source]
Studies reveal that anywhere from 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage. [source]
And that their efforts to have life defined as beginning at conception puts women at risk of being put in JAIL if they have a miscarriage (something that happens to nearly 1:4 pregnancies) Like when it happened here. Or Here. Or these times.
Pro-life movements are literally making it more dangerous than ever for people to be pregnant, not just medically, but legally.

Lucknow, Aug. 28: A customer, apparently drunk and hollering for his table to be cleaned, shot a Dalit boy dead in an Uttar Pradesh dhaba late on Monday after the 11-year-old busy working at the crowded eatery kept the man waiting.
Police said the suspect, said to be a big farmer's private security guard, sped away in his car soon after the incident on National Highway 58 in Shamli, a new district that adjoins Muzaffarnagar. He has not yet been arrested.
As the body of Kishore Niraj was brought to Hassepur, his village in neighbouring Bijnor district, this afternoon after a post-mortem, his mother Geeta fainted.
The boy's father, Roopchand, who works in a spoon-making factory, told the police his son used to earn Rs 600 a month and got free food and accommodation at the dhaba.
The police have questioned the dhaba owner, Gokul Soni, and sources said a report against him for employing children had been sent to the state's labour department. Child labour laws prohibit employing children under 14.
Gokul claimed Niraj had been employed on the request of his father.
Activists said the murder had again brought under glare the practice of employing children at highway restaurants and dhabas. At least one activist said these dhabas in Uttar Pradesh employed hundreds of children despite "repeated pleas" not to hire kids.
Shamli circle officer Prakash Kumar said the accused, Jagpal Pandit, 34, was probably drunk when he reached the dhaba on the highway that connects Delhi to Dehradun around 11 on the night of August 26.
Kumar said the accused, who sat at a table, started complaining that it had not been cleaned properly. But Niraj didn't pay him much attention. "According to eyewitnesses, the accused called Niraj to clean the table but the boy didn't respond. The accused waited for 15 minutes and then shouted at Niraj. When the boy came near Pandit, he whipped out his revolver and fired three shots into him," the officer told The Telegraph.
The boy died on the spot even as the sound of gunshots triggered a stampede out of the dhaba. Pandit, who had come in a car, soon left the dhaba, which falls under Adarsh Mandi police station. Subhas Chandra, an officer at the police station, said a murder case had been registered against Pandit.
Circle officer Kumar said a hunt was on to nab the accused. "It is a murder that has unnerved us," he added.
At least 15 teenagers from the village, where most of the residents are Dalits, work at various dhabas to supplement the family income.
Sources said some 125 big and small roadside dhabas and restaurants do brisk business on National Highway 58 that passes through districts like Meerut, Muzaffarnagar and Shamli. An estimated 1,100 child workers have been employed by these dhabas, says Arshad Mehdi of Bachpan Bachao Andolan.
Last year, Mehdi said, the organisation had rescued over 100 children from these dhabas. The dhaba owners, he added, "refused to listen to our repeated pleas not to employ children".
In a report last year, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights said that while children have been traditionally employed in the carpet industry in several districts, the number of child workers in restaurants and dhabas too has grown over the years.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Very patient, active problem solver, very clear about his explanations, and meets me where I am as far a rudimentary knowledge of stats and Stata. Awesome.
John knows his stuff and has helped me in a few different topics including Eco29 and Eco45. Not only a helpful tutor, but a really nice guy.
John is very professional and shows up on time for every lesson. He is extremely knowledgeable about economics and is a great tutor. I was very new to economics and a little initmidated by the material in my textbook, however, he explains the concepts of economics so that I can follow easily and understand how to arrive at the various solutions to the problems. If I forget something he has told me, he is very patient and pushes me to think through the problem to reach the correct solution. He is very passionate about economics and it shows in the way he teaches. His relaxed mannerism makes me feel at ease when learning economics and helps to enhance what I learn.I would definitely recommend him to anyone having problems with this subject.
My tutoring session with John C. far exceeded expectations. He was extremely knowledgeable and it was clear he loves being a teacher. I'd been struggling with this subject for some time and very quickly John identified my roadblocks and helped me get through them. The only downside was that I hadn't started working with him sooner! I would highly recommend John for Macroeconomics. Wyzant is lucky to have a tutor like John representing their company. Final exam is on Wednesday I have high expectations.
John provided great instruction on college level economics course. He was flexible on meeting times/places, and instrumental in a successful grade in the course.
