Kali Wells said yes to the dress years before meeting her prince, Chad Dawson, who she marries this evening
SUMMERSIDE ã Kali Wells always knew someday her prince would come.
© Nancy MacPhee/Journal Pioneer
Kali Wells and Chad Dawson, shown with their dogs, Sampson and Shylo, are getting married today ã the culmination of what has been a fairytale courtship. Kali will finally get to wear a wedding dress she purchased six years ago, long before she met her groom and a dress she purchased for only $10.
She was so confident that would be the case that, at age 18, a time when there was no prospect for everlasting love in sight, she bought her wedding dress.
Later today, after having it hang in her closet for six years, Kali will slip into that dress to walk down the aisle to Chad Dawson, as the two wed in what, for the self-proclaimed old-fashioned couple, will be their fairytale wedding.
ãItãs funny, when we started dating, the first Valentineãs Day card he got me says that I will always be his princess. His mom actually told meãÎ ever since Chad was a little boy he always said when he met the right girl he would treat her like a princess.
ãHe calls me his princess and I feel like a princess when Iãm with him.ã
And, in that dress, a vintage dress found at a thrift shop so many years ago, the soft-spoken pretty blonde said she feels every bit the princess.
She laughs when telling the story of the dress.
Kali and her mother, Maria, have always been bargain hunters, often sifting through thrift and vintage store racks.
Then, one day, while on one of their outings, they stumbled upon the dress.
ãI came across this white dress and I was like, oh, it is really pretty.ã
Kaliãs mother pushed for her daughter to try it on.
ãIt was too big at the time but the fabric was gorgeous.ã
Kali is tight-lipped about the material, embroidery and beading or what the gown looks like ã any detail that would spoil the big reveal to her soon-to-be husband, family and friends.
ãHe doesnãt know anything about it so I really canãt describe it and he doesnãt want to see it beforehand because we are old fashioned.ã
A collector of gowns, with a half a dozen or so in her closet, Kali decided to add the vintage white dress to her collection.
She took it to the counter and paid the $10 ticket price, took it home and put it in her closet, where it hung, collecting dust, until last fall.
ãI didnãt have any plans on getting married anytime soon. I went through five years of school,ã said Kali. ãI had maybe two not serious boyfriends, thatãs it, before I met Chad.ã
They met a year and a half ago at the local gym where Kali worked and Chad was a member.
He was struck by kindness and warmth.
ãShe is very old fashioned,ã said Chad. ãShe is a homebody just like me. We like to hang out with our family a lot.ã
Kali was taken by Chadãs smile.
ãI remember the first time I saw him and he had this huge smile. He was always smiling.ã
But she wasnãt looking for love.
ãOn the first date, it was kind of like, I could use a friend and I wouldnãt mind having someone to hang out with,ã said Kali. ãOn that date, we ended up sharing a lot of things about our past with each other.ã
Her feelings changed after that.
And, after their second date, Kali did something that even surprised her.
ãI pulled the dress out of my closet. I hadnãt looked at it in years,ã she recalled. ãI was like, you know what, maybe it was time it had a night out. I knew, for some reason, he was the one.ã
After 11 months of dating, came the proposal.
Chad would ask Kaliãs father, David, for her hand in marriage before he would ask her to become his wife.
ãHe said he couldnãt have asked for a better man to be with his daughter,ã said the groom.
His bride added, ãHe said to my Dad ãI really want to propose to her under our first year so that sheãs surprised.ã
That was something that caught her father, who treated Kali like a princess and was protective of his only daughter, off guard.
ãHe got all teary-eyed and said thatãs the same thing I did for her Mom.ã
On Oct. 5, Chad proposed, taking Kali for a walk along the cityãs boardwalk, a walk they had taken on that first date.
ãI tricked her by asking her if there was something in her teeth,ã said Chad. ãShe went to check and I went down on one knee and proposed.ã
Kali added, ãBefore he finished saying it I started freaking out. I donãt think he fully got it out of his mouth.ã
They quickly began planning for the big day and thoughts turned to the dress.
Kali had told Chad about her find all those years ago and her plans to wear it on their wedding day.
ãAll I know is that it is really old fashioned,ã said Chad, noting that is the theme for their ceremony and reception. ãI went with the tux that is short in the front and long in the back.ã
Alterations have been done and the dress, said Kali, is now perfect.
ãI got it altered for $30. Then I got it dry-cleaned for $35. In total, it had come to about $100. My shoes were $9 and my veil was actually borrowed. Oh, and my shoes are blue. Something borrowed, something blue.ã
There was talk about having a first look prior to the evening ceremony, which is taking place in Kinkora.
ãI want to be surprised,ã said Chad.
There is one special person who has had a glimpse ã Kaliãs mother.
ãShe saw the dress and just started crying,ã she said of her mother, who will be matron-of-honour. ãI always had her as my best friend. I still call her that.ã
So, what is it going to be like Friday evening to finally walk down the aisle, wearing the dress that she knew she would someday get to wear?
ãItãs going to be really surreal. Itãs been so built up and everybodyãs asking and everybody is curious,ã said Kali.
And, she added with a laugh, it is going to be hard to forget their anniversary.
ãOur wedding date is 14/14. It is just easy to remember. Now we have to celebrate Valentineãs Day every year.ã

Red Sox Notebook: John Farrell, Felix Dubront not happy
Red Sox Notebook: John Farrell, Felix Dubront not happy
Manager has a talk with lefty
Manager has a talk with lefty
Felix Doubront is unhappy with the Red Sox. That's easy to see.
But manager John Farrell would rather not see so much of it.
After Doubront allowed six runs on six hits and two walks in two-thirds of an inning in relief of starter Clay Buchholz Monday night, Farrell met with the disgruntled lefty, who has made it clear he prefers being a starter over pitching out of the bullpen.
"Yes," Farrell said when asked if he spoke to Doubront, "and that's all I'll say about it."

And two young men are on a journey to raise awareness about, and money, for combating the disease. Their Appalachian Trail hike took them through Berkshire County yesterday. Our Berkshire Bureau Chief, Carrie Saldo, has this report;

Roadkill couture: Designer creates grisly bridal wear using seagull wings, cat fur and even HUMAN BONES
- Brighton based designer Jess Eaton uses 'ethically sourced' materials- mainly roadkill - to create her pieces
- Pieces are made from cat fur, alpaca, seagull and goose feathers - and even a human ribcage
- Collection will go on public display for the first time at the White Gallery
- Bridal pieces feature prominently with dramatic headpieces
Controversial British fashion designer Jess Eaton caused a stir when she revealed her second high-fashion collection in December made from cat fur, alpaca, seagull and goose feathers - and even a human ribcage.
Now this unusual, but stunning collection will be available for the public to see close up for the very first time as it is unveiled at the White Gallery in London.
The Brighton-based designer never pays for her materials and 'ethically sources' them from roadkill and animals that have died of natural causes (the human rib-cage was sourced from a university medical department),
She insists that no animals are ever harmed in the name of fashion but response to her two animal-based collections have been mixed.
Many of Jess's unusual pieces are bridal wear, including this dramatic gown with a feather shoulder piece
Many brides dream of transforming into a beautiful swan on their big day, but perhaps not as literally as this...
Ready for a day at the races... the collection includes hats and accessories, like this headpiece made form Seagull feathers
Some believe the humane use of animals in fashion to be acceptable and point to the fact that her designs have been fitted with Roadkill Couture labels to help distinguish them from non-ethical animal wear, while others might maintain it propagates the use of animals for fashion, most of which will be killed specifically for this use.
She says: 'I never, ever kill animals for our designs and we wouldn't accept anything that has been killed for the purpose of turning it into a fashion item. What I do is take these animals, once their natural lives are over and give them an endless afterlife.
The human rib cage used in the necklace, left, was obtained from a medical school, while animal products, like the feathers used in the collar, right, are mainly from roadkill
'We eat the meat from animals every day and then we throw away their bones and fur - it's all just waste.
'But when I take these parts of a dead animal and turn them into beautiful pieces of clothing that can be enjoyed for many years to come, it makes people question their feelings about what's acceptable.'
Though undoubtedly visually stunning and dramatic, pieces like this bird dress elicit mixed responses
There would be no doubt that all eyes would be on the bride if she was sporting this huge bridal haedpiece
Eaton's second collection introduced domestic animals and human bones into fashion and gained the respect and attention of Love Magazine who styled the pieces on Kate Moss.
The collection is loosely divided into four moods; Dark, Urban Culture, 1950's Dior and Bridal.
The bridal wear uses the white feathers and whole wings of various birds to create headpieces inspired by the fairy stories and books that shaped her childhood.
Jess says that by using the animals after death she has given them 'eternal afterlife'
Jess will be unveiling her latest bridal designs this May with pieces designed exclusively for White Gallery London 2013 .
Commenting on the exhibition Jess said 'I'm thrilled about making my exciting debut at the White Gallery London and can't wait to unveil the beautiful and dramatic designs I am creating for the show.
'My exhibit draws inspiration from a range of dark and dramatic romantics like Tim Burton and Scarlett O'Hara and I have a spectacular centre piece planned as a big surprise for visitors.'
Jess launched her first roadkill designs in 2011 and her second collection will headline this year's Brighton Fashion Week. Her earlier designs included a cape made from squirrels, a rat fur jacket and a hat featuring the ears of a horse.
Both collections will be displayed in Battersea Evolution (Battersea Park) from 19-21 May 2013.

Calibrachoa MiniFamous™ Royal Blue
Blooms from late spring into autumn -- nonstop!
Royal Blue is a bold, richly toned color that combines well with all the other bright colors of the series. Try it with Vampire, for instance, or perfect white. It's in 2 of our lovely mixes -- Gold and Bold Collection and the MiniFamous™ greatest hits. Try combining it with one of the double-flowered varieties too, like rich lemon. Wow!
Like all the MiniFamous™ varieties, this plant is 6 to 10 inches high, with new 1- to 2-inch blooms coming up in the center all season long. (No flat-tops here!) It simply covers itself in flowers, and drops them neatly when they pass -- no deadheaded needed, ever! Expect it to trail 2 feet long (easily) and to bloom from late spring -- a couple weeks sooner than other Calibrachoa series -- through summer and into fall. Once it gets going, heat won't bother it, drought won't stress it, and hummingbirds won't leave it alone! For heaviest flowering, of course, treat it well, with good potting soil and plenty of water and food. But don't be surprised when it's the only plant still looking good at noon on that triple-digit-temperature August day! Pack of 6.
When it's time for your plants to make their journey from our greenhouses to your doorstep, we take no chances with their health. Every plant receives Express (2-day) shipping at the more economical standard shipping rates, so that it arrives promptly, without enduring delays along the way.

For the most part I consider myself a "normal"...
For the most part I consider myself a "normal" person looking for another normal person, if there is such a thing. By normal, I mean I tried to do all the "right" things. I went college, got a decent job, bought a car and a home. I'm not a health freak but I'm not out of shape either. I played tennis competitively for a while, but now I just play it for recreation and exercise. I don't really like going to the gym so I supplement it by playing sports. I also play in numerous indoor volleyball leagues, and hopefully getting back into a bowling or kickball league or two if schedule permits. I'm goofy, loud and I love to laugh until my side hurts and hopefully make others as well. I'm surrounded by numerous, great and diverse friends. Some would even go as far as say that I'm a social butterfly. Thanks to my friends, my calendar is always overflowing. I love to help people out as much as I can, and I try to be generous. Karma, you know? I have decided that I am a terrible liar, thus I strive to be truthful, sometimes to a fault. My parents taught me well. I believe that chivalry is NOT dead. My parents taught me better. I am not incomplete. I do not need anyone to complete me, just enhance me. I don't want my potential mate and I to meld into one organism. I believe independence and individuality creates a more fulfilling and interesting relationship. Here's my nerdy side: I have an affinity for comics, transformers and 80's references. On the weekends, you'd probably catch me at the mall, some food truck event or gastropubs in Sherman Oaks, Studio City or Woodland Hills enjoying a glass of whiskey. I don't think I'm tired of the clubbing, bar-hopping or the Vegas thing. I just think there has to be something more. I think if I wanted to, I could've been married a long time ago. Call me selfish and old fashioned, but I want to be HAPPY (God forbid) and be with someone who makes me believe that she was the reason I exist. I can send you my resume and my references are available upon request.

I'm a foodie, so I love going to restaurants, but the non-douchy kind. My visit to the Philippines was unforgettable, Boracay especially. Hawaii was awesome. I love New York. Lately, I've been going to hole-in-the-wall restaurants and bars.
Woodbury University, Burbank, CA
I love food, family, and am extremely loyal to my friends. I used to play Tennis competitively. Volleyball has become one of my favorite things to do . On the weekends, shopping and eating is the way to go. I also like to sing and dance
Eat, eat, eat. I think I was supposed to be a fat kid. I love sushi, korean bbq, vietnamese food, french, food truck faire, basically every kind of food. I love playing volleyball & tennis. I tend to go to dive bars.

2016 Show
Box Office
On Tuesday, 16th December 2014, members of BACCES (British Airways Cabin Crew Entertainment Society) gathered at Bell Farm Christian Centre, West Drayton, to help welcome, serve and entertain approximately sixty elderly guests at this year's charity Christmas lunch.

The event, which was organised by Sherilee Thompson (InFlight Business Manager E14) and Linda Bartlett (Area Manager Eurofleet) of the British Airways Eurofleet Leadership Team, and in conjuction with the British Airways Corporate Sales Team, saw the guests, who arrived at 11:00 from local care homes, treated to a traditional Christmas lunch of turkey, roast potatoes, with all the trimmings, and Christmas pudding.
Needless to say, the entertainment which followed was the icing on the (Christmas) cake, so to speak! Carols performed by Cherry Lane School Choir kicked off proceedings. This was keenly followed by a 17 minute medley of both singing and dancing, which was produced and coordinated by British Airways cabin crew and BACCES member Stéphane Scotto di Perrotolo. In charge of the choreography was Diane Goatcher, a former British Airways CSD (Cabin Service Director) and BACCES member. The music was arranged by BACCES' musical director, Bobbie Field, and Stéphane Scotto di Perrotolo.
The nine BACCES members who attended the lunch performed numbers such as "Wake Up" from their recent annual charity pantomime, "Jack and the Beanstalk", which they staged from 3rd to 7th December at the Beck Theatre, Hayes, and sang a number of toe-tapping Christmas carols such as "Santa Baby", "Jingle Bells", and "Winter Wonderland". Needless to say, the lunch guests soon got into the Christmas spirit singing along with the British Airways cabin crew!
Other entertainment included the recanting of the Christmas Story and the handing out of Christmas gifts by Santa and his elves. There was also a raffle.
This was the second charity event attended by BACCES in the past few weeks. Twenty society members had performed three numbers (singing and dancing) at the Air Cabin Crew Fund (ACCF) lunch at the Concorde Clubs, Heston, on 27th November to the delight of the lunch guests. Here again, Stéphane coordinated the entertainment on behalf of BACCES.
2015 promises to be another busy year for BACCES as the British Airways affiliated society supports other local, national and international charities and benevolent organisations. They are also starting to prepare for their next production, "Sleeping Beauty" which will be staged in their new home of the Watford Palace Theatre in January 2016. Oh yes they will!

On Thursday, 27th November 2014, twenty members of BACCES (British Airways Cabin Crew Entertainment) delighted more than two hundred guests with a suprise performance at this year's 43rd annual Air Cabin Crew Fund (ACCF) charity lunch at the Concorde Clubs, Heston, in aid of British Airways cabin crew and their families.
The BACCES members performed two numbers - "Cheap Flights" and "Happy" - which included both singing and dancing with a definite Christmas theme. The latter was taken from this year's BACCES pantomime production, "Jack and the Benastalk", and was choreographed by British Airways Purser Derek Tennant and former British Airways CSD Diane Goatcher. The cabaret was coordinated on behalf of BACCES by cabin crew member Stéphane Scotto Di Perrotolo. The music was played and arranged by BACCES' Musical Director, Bobbie Field, and her assistant MD Stéphane Scotto Di Perrotolo. On a large screen behind the performers was a series of graphics, video footage and photos which were created by Alan Marchal and Stéphane Scotto di Perrotolo.
The event raised more than £1,200, which will be used to help cabin crew who are off work for longer periods due to illness. More details of the great work ACCF does can be found on their web site:

BACCES is delighted and very proud to announce that it has won three awards at today's NODA (National Operatic and Dramatic Association) AGM at the Wyllyotts Theatre, Potters Bar.
The society was nominated and shortlisted for the following six awards in the London Region:
The S. Leslie Cowham Trophy - Programme Design (Souvenir Class)
The Shelly Lemesh Award - The Unsung Hero
The Louise English Trophy - Contributions Made by a Young Person
The Sheila Rawlings Lifetime Achievement Award
The 'It's Behind You' award - Best Pantomime
The Kathleen Oyler Trophy - Chorus Work
Of the six nominations, BACCES walked away with three trophies for: Best Programme Design (Souvenir Class)(Lucinda Bowditch); the Unsung Hero (Brian Stubbington); and, perhaps most excitingly of all, Best Pantomime.
Jane Bowditch, Director of BACCES' 2014 production, said, "This is a wonderful day for BACCES, and an endorsement of the tireless work the society does to raise money for charity. We should all be very proud. Truly, it was the fact that we all worked together, to achieve our goal....to put on a show, raise money for charity AND have fun doing it!"
BACCES will now be put forward for the National NODA Awards in the above three categories later this year. We will, of course, keep you posted of the results!
BACCES is a non-profit charitable organisation which was originally set up in 1970 by two British European Airways (BEA) stewards who wrote a comedy review and staged it at York House in March 1971, Twickenham, UK for two nights. It was so popular that it ran for a further three sell out nights at Chiswick Town Hall. The national press
heard of this venture and prompted "Jak" of the Evening Standard to publish a cartoon lampooning the efforts of BA cabin crew. Since that time the company have been producing reviews and, more recently, and to great acclaim, pantomimes in aid of national and local charities. The company writes, directs and produces the whole show with very little help from outside sources.
In 2008 BACCES won the Flame Award for Inspirational Excellence in Theatre from the National Operatic and Dramatic Association for their 2007 production of Cinderella.
In 2012 and 2013, BACCES not only won The S. Leslie Cowham Trophy for Programme Design (Souvenir Class) in the London Region, it also won the National Award. Congratulations Carole Jarratt and Lucinda Bowditch (Programme designers)!
In 2014, the nominations kept on coming:
The S. Leslie Cowham Trophy - Programme Design (Souvenir Class)
The Shelly Lemesh Award - The Unsung Hero
The Louise English Trophy - Contributions Made by a Young Person
The Sheila Rawlings Lifetime Achievement Award
The 'It's Behind You' award - Best Pantomime
The Kathleen Oyler Trophy - Chorus Work
Of the six nominations, BACCES walked away with three trophies for: Best Programme Design (Souvenir Class)(Lucinda Bowditch); the Unsung Hero (Brian Stubbington); and, perhaps most excitingly of all, Best Pantomime.

Jeffrey L. Chastain
Okay. Thank you, Regina, and welcome, everyone, to Noble Corporation's First Quarter 2013 Earnings Call. We appreciate your interest in the company. A copy of Noble's earnings report issued last evening, along with the supporting statements and schedules, can be found on the Noble website, and that's noblecorp.com.
Before I turn the call over to David Williams, I'd like to remind everyone that we may make statements about our operations, opportunities, plans, operational and financial performance, the drilling business or other matters that are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which are posted on our website, discuss the risk and uncertainties in our business and industry and the various factors that could keep outcomes of any forward-looking statements from being realized, including the price of oil and gas, customer demand, operational and other risks. Our actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements, and Noble does not assume any obligation to update these statements. Also note that we may use non-GAAP financial measures in the call today. If we do, you will find the required supplemental disclosure for these measures, including the most directly comparable GAAP measure and an associated reconciliation, on our website.
With that, I'll now turn the call over to David Williams, who's the Chairman, President and Chief Executive of Noble.
David W. Williams
All right. Thank you, Jeff. Good morning, everyone, and welcome. Joining me today on the call with Jeff are James MacLennan, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Roger Hunt, our Senior Vice President of Marketing and Contracts. Jeff, James and I are in Houston this morning, while Roger is joining us from Geneva.
Hopefully, in addition to our improved operating results for the first quarter, you saw the news we issued early this morning regarding the contract awards for our new ultra-deepwater drillships, Noble Sam Croft and Noble Tom Madden, both from Plains Exploration & Production Company. These contracts, which add in excess of $1.3 billion in backlog, mean we now have contracts for all 5 of the drillships that remain under construction. We're absolutely delighted to have Plains as a customer, and we look forward to supporting them in their Gulf of Mexico drilling programs, and I know Roger will have more to say in this subject in just a moment.
I want to start this morning with some brief comments on our first quarter results which did see an improvement in our fleet downtime. Clearly, this is not by accident, as this area of our operational execution process is receiving a great deal of attention and we expect to deliver more consistent fleet performance going forward. I want you to be aware that operational performance will continue to be a focal point, and we do expect to see further operational improvement.
Also, we continue to enjoy a robust business climate, as evidenced by our contracts for not only the Croft and Madden and several other recent contract awards are discussed and in progress that we hope to conclude in the near future.
I want to mention some business developments that keep me excited about the industry and the foreseeable future. And after James and Roger provide expanded commentary on our quarterly financial performance in the market, I'll close with some final thoughts on some key topics for investors regarding Noble and continued transformation of the company. After that, we'll take some questions.
One highlight of our first quarter results was a reduction of about 2 percentage points in overall fleet downtime from the fourth quarter of 2012 to about 5%. While the 5% level is not the goal, when compared to levels experienced over the second half of 2012, which averaged about 6.5% over the last 6-month period, our first quarter performance represents a significant improvement. Remember that the 48 days of downtime in the first quarter were the result of the failure of the wellhead connector bolts on the Noble Paul Wolff in Brazil. In the absence of this event, which had a negative impact on the whole industry, downtime would have been around 4%, and this primarily is due to downtime on the Noble Clyde Boudreaux in Australia and the Globetrotter I in the Gulf of Mexico.
The overall improvement is noteworthy because it was accomplished in part due to operating improvements on the new ultra-deepwater drillships, Noble Bully I and Noble Bully II, and the deepwater drillships, Noble Phoenix and Noble Leo Segerius, 2 rigs that completed significant upgrade and maintenance programs late in 2012.

The Elephant Has Entered The Room
WASHINGTON--Will the race issue go back into the closet for the rest of the presidential campaign? Of course not, so where do we go from here? Last week's dust-up over race between John McCain and Barack Obama was entirely disappointing. Obama spoke first about how his opponents would try to "make you scared of me," noting that he "doesn't look like all those other presidents" on our currency.
August 04, 2008
Family's Value
<?xml:namespace prefix = o />In their smart and fun new book, Grand New Party, Ross Douthat and Reihan Salam urge Republicans to spend trillions of dollars on policies to shore up working-class families. Several critics have pointed out that the Republican Party will likely remain much more interested in spending trillions of dollars on tax breaks for rich people. What's been less noticed is that Democrats could easily adopt much of the family agenda Douthat and Salam propose--and that, more than his opponent, Barack Obama already has. First, some context.
What's In A Name?
As Beijing gears up to host this year's Olympic Games, we asked Perry Link, professor of East Asian Studies at Princeton University, to give us his perspective on how China is responding to the challenge. He will be guest-blogging for us over the next few weeks: Might athletes from Taiwan have boycotted the Olympic Games if Beijing had made a minor shift in their team's name? This nearly happened a few days ago and yes, says Tai Shia-ling, Taiwan's Minister of Sports Affairs, the Taiwan athletes would definitely have stayed away.
Is Obama Dukakis Ii?
The Boston Globe Magazine's Charlie Pierce does a so-so job on what could have been a fun piece--a counterfactual on what would have happened had Mike Dukakis beat George H.W. Bush in 1988--but there was one part of the story that made me gulp a bit: In the spring of 1988, Dukakis had a lead over the nominee of the incumbent Republican Party, just as Barack Obama does at this moment. Yet he lost, 53.4 percent to 45.6 percent, and by a whopping 426-111 in the Electoral College.
The Most Disturbing Thing I've Read In Years
Even more disturbing than this, though that rates a close second. As for number one, it comes from Jane Mayer's new book, by way of Alan Brinkley's excellent review in Sunday's Times: By the end of 2005, those defending the regime of torture were no longer seeking primarily to protect the search for valuable intelligence. They were fighting for its survival, in the face of considerable evidence of the failure of SERE and other programs, because they feared being prosecuted should the program be halted and exposed.
August 01, 2008
The TNR Q&A: Walter Russell Mead
Ever since the primaries, when Barack Obama had trouble picking up votes in Appalachia and Hillary Clinton posed as the candidate of "hard-working Americans," strategists have been worried about his ability to pick up the instinctively populist voters whom historian Walter Russell Mead dubs "Jacksonians." <?xml:namespace prefix = o />Mead argues that Jacksonianism--which developed in the Scots-Irish communities of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Appalachia--has spread throughout the United States to become the unwritten code that governs our gut understanding of ideas like honor and
Bitter, Party Of Two
No sooner had Lanny J. Davis published a long op-ed in yesterday's Wall Street Journal instructing Barack Obama as to why he "should pick Hillary" as his vice presidential running mate that today's New York Times ran a short piece by Michael Falcone reporting that the "campaign for Clinton ends." And as it has ended though, I shall point out, there are already post-scripts.Lanny and I are friends, you know, Washington friends, not close but slap-on-the-back cordial. He served as one of Bill Clinton's tribunes, doing p.r. during the mortifying impeachment proceedings.
Dictatorships And Afpakistandards
Today the New York Times leads with a story about the culprits in a July 7 car bombing of the Indian embassy in Pakistan. According to intercepted communications, the attack was reportedly sanctioned and supported by factions of Pakistan's military intelligence agency.
July 31, 2008
Repositioning Obama
The president hasn't "abandoned the center"--but that won't stop critics from tarring him for it. Has Barack Obama shifted to the left since his election as president?
Meet The New Boss, Dissimilar To The Old Boss
WASHINGTON--It was a little-noticed episode during Barack Obama's boffo foreign trip, but it was the moment most relevant to the American presidential campaign.On the final stop of his trip last Saturday, Obama dropped in on British Prime Minister Gordon Brown during the PM's most stressful weekend since he replaced Tony Blair a year ago.Just two days earlier, Brown's Labor Party had lost a special election in one of its safest seats, a working-class bastion in Glasgow.

Re: Good Deck Shoes?
Well, I'm two seasons into Vibram Five Finger shoes and prefer them to any other sailing shoe I've used. The thing about these shoes is that they give you a grip and balance like you are barefooted, but have protection against stubbed toes. They are cool and comfortable, but are not intended for hiking great distances on concrete. If you break yourself in gradually, you will strengthen the muscles in your feet, which is a good thing. My son runs 5-10 miles in them on a track. At 69 and with an artificial hip, I can only walk 5 or so miles in them, but its not the shoes. Also, they are designed so that you can wear them without socks and not get that sweaty foot feeling and can be thrown into the washer when needed. Socks are available should you so desire.
Sure wish I had a financial interest in them as they seem to be the in thing with the cross fit crowd. They certainly are not "old man shoes", my age not withstanding.

Not a hope in hell of anything like Vegas occurring! Right?! Well at this point I'm writing from vancouver. I wrote our Disney world trip in notes on the bus trip back to Kate and Charles house.

Cheese Steak. Day 893.
Had a great day being tourists around the old city of Pennsylvania. Lots of history in this old Capitol. Learnt loads of history about the fore fathers of America and how it all started.
Really wanted a genuine Philly Cheese Steak sandwich but believe it or not we couldn't find one. We ate at a restaurant then turned a corner onto what can only be described as 'Philly Cheese Steak alley'.
Hindsight is a ***** !
Philadelphia to Washington DC

It was pretty interesting. We had to be back at the hotel to head out at noon in order to get to Washington with enough time to go to the organized dinner and the sightseeing tour afterwards. On the way there we watched a docudrama ...
Day 36 - On to Philadelphia
... The Americans there are getting a real kick from the Georgian type architecture, but for us Brits it is just like rooms we see day in and day out at home. Still it is nice enough and we have a good evening. Tomorrow, we will see the wider Philadelphia (apparently it is rude to call it Philly unless you live here). It is the fifth largest city in the US and I am interested to see what it has to offer other than Benjamin ...

I finally am in Philadelphia, ne stage closer to paradise. It is 5:11 p.m. right now and my next flight departs at 5:55 p.m. I have just a little bit of time to kill, and I still haven't eaten anything all day.

Waxahatchee and White Lung Perform Each Other's Songs Together
By Evan Minsker on August 20, 2014 at 1:09 p.m. EDT
Photo via Mish Way's Instagram
Today, Noisey has shared a pair of acoustic videos featuring White Lung frontwoman Mish Way and singer/songwriter Katie Crutchfield, aka Waxahatchee. For the project, the two paired up for a version of Waxahatchee's "Coast to Coast" off last year's Cerulean Salt, as well as a joint take on White Lung's "Wrong Star" from Deep Fantasy.
