I don't know much about the public sentiment in Mainland China. But aside from politics, I don't see Chinese in general dislike Japanese, or vice versa.
In fact, in the area I live where there are strong presence of Asian population, I know a lot of Chinese Americans marrying Japanese Americans. The frequency is much higher than marrying with other minority group, i.e. Mexican Americans.
Even outside North America, there are also a lot of inter-marriage between Chinese and Japanese in many Asian cities. In fact, even in the Chinese community (or some prefer to call Taiwanese community) in Yokohama, there are also a lot of inter-marriage with the Japanese in the younger generation.
And interestingly the ratio seems even (I have no statistics) between Chinese guys/Japanese wives and Japanese guys/Chinese wives.

i wrote my birth story last night. i have been meaning to attach words to the unearthly beautiful experience for quite some time now and, with a little prompting (thank you, nici), i finally sat down and did it. this is an account for a friend, so the second person narrative refers to sweet nici who happens to have stolen my heart with her own birth story.
it's not her birthday nor any special occasion but, nevertheless...it needed to be done and last night seemed a proper night to do it.
this song played during her birth, and i never listen to it because it's too special and i never want the crazy effect it has on my heart to wear off. so, i save it for her birthday...and when i really want to go back to that day. but, i'll let it slip in just this once.
with no further ado...my response on the invitation to tell the story of one's birth, 21 months later:
Lainey's asleep, Brett's watching a movie, and I am in my corner with the computer, a beer, and the looming greatness of putting something beautiful into words. I've put it into pictures...and pieced it together with music, but words? hard to do.
The day after my wedding, someone told me to go buy a journal and write everything I could possibly remember that day so that I didn't forget...because she promised me, if I didn't, that I would indeed forget. Best advice. Before we left for our honeymoon, I bought a red-velvet covered blank book and I did nothing else on our five-hour flight but scribble, scribble, scribble. Every thought. Every sound. Every sight. Every scent. Every emotion. And I'm so glad I did...because I never want to forget that beautiful day, and without my little written memories, so much of it would be lost.
I wish I would have done the same with Lainey's birth. But we were just completely bombed with having to go back to the hospital so soon...and when we finally got home, I was so emotionally drained, I couldn't do it. And I've told myself so many times since that I really needed to go and write while I could remember...
And it is until now...that you, my friend, have held me accountable.
And my account now, 21 months after, is probably a bit different than what it would have been if I would have set to the task sooner...but nevertheless...I will tell you what I will remember. And being asked to tell one's birth story is, to me such a beautiful invitation. Nothing I'd rather talk about. ...but words are hard to find.
may be the beer...may be Eva Cassidy in the background...may be the raw emotion of wanting to be pregnant again...or the sheer beauty in these memories, but regardless...tears are already spilling. and it feels good.
I loved being pregnant. Every single moment. Was sick as a dog for 20 weeks and lost seven pounds my first three months but would do it again a trillion times over. I loved knowing, no matter where I was...that I wasn't alone...that it was me & someone else. I couldn't wait until my tummy got huge and round and what I wouldn't do....oh, for the love of all things holy, what i wouldn't do to feel her kick again. i loved being pregnant. i loved it, loved it, loved it. and the night before i knew i was going to have her...i cried because, despite the fact i was just sick with excitement to meet her, hold her, love her...i knew she wouldn't be a part of me physically anymore. that is the most beautiful thing that could ever happen to a human. ever. thank you, eve. i'm glad she ate that apple, you know? i'm so glad she ate it.
so...anyway. in the middle of all this pregnancy thing, i had the most wonderful, beautiful doctor ever. she's just good and kind and i never had to see anyone else but her...and i never worried about anything because i had no reason to. funny...since i've had lainey, many of my friends have been pregnant and they'll ask me, "did you have the triple marker test? were you nervous about the blood test at twenty weeks? did you...blah, blah, blah" and I seriously can't remember ever ever being nervous or scared or anxious. i just knew she was fine...and my doctor was a huge part of that. which is why i was induced because, she was leaving on vacation on a saturday for two weeks and the monday before she left, my ultrasound showed me ready to go...and i couldn't bear the fact of one of her colleagues--someone i had never met--being part of the most amazing event in my life. so, we decided together to choose my date.
i went in on a thursday night and when i close my eyes...i remember everything. i wore a dress and heels and the nurse who delivered lainey--who has become one of my closest friends since--still teases me about the way she went back to the nurses desk after she called my name and rolled her eyes and told them to check out the girl who wore a dress to deliver her baby.
i was assigned to room 10. and three months ago, i went up to the hospital again with my friend katie, who delivered lainey, to see everyone again...and they told me...room 10's open...why don't you go in there for old time's sake. ...and i did. and i stood in that dark room and shook. just cried and cried.
the story is long---beautiful, but long--and i will spare you every detail...in fact, the only way i can do this is gunna be stream-of-consciousness...so hang on, sistah....
i remember the look on brett's face and my fear of him being less excited because it wasn't his first baby being completely dissapated when i saw big, teary eyes and little-boy anticipation. this was, after all...his first girl.
i remember walking into the room and seeing the warming bed and being hit hard with the realization that this was the bed my baby--inside my body--would be lying in. and there was a folded receiving blanket and a little stretchy cotton hat lying there...and i remember saying out loud, "holy crap. that very hat is going to be on my baby's head." it was just so...real. and happening.
i remember, in the middle of a contraction, brett bringing me a little hospital bracelet he found that said, "Hampton, Baby" and crying when I saw it...and staring at the handwritten name--my baby's name--while I writhed in pain.
i remember having my friends in the room and laughing and watching t.v. and thinking "this is so cool...like a party." i remember getting stadol and saying, as katie pushed it into my i.v., "will i feel this right away" and her answering, "yes" and then i said, "but i don't...." and then i smiled and melted.
i remember the stadol making me loopy and me telling everyone in the room that if they shaved off my eyebrows "make sure you save them for the kids to play with." okay, i don't remember saying that, but everyone else does, and they remind me weekly.
i remember feeling very, very in love with brett and feeling very blessed to have someone so loving. i remember loving the laid-back atmosphere and friends in the room and laughing and dozing while i listened to laughing and being surprised at how comfortable and normal this all was...and being very, very aware that through all of this laughter and talking and crying...there was this little background music of a little heartbeat.
i remember crying hard when they came in to check me...and pushing them away...and twisting in my bed, clawing the walls with them reaching up my throat. and one of the nurses saying something about my cervix being very "upturned" and that's why it hurt so bad and wanting to say "whatever, bitch" back...but i didn't.
i remember thinking i was dilated to ten when they told me i was one and a half. i remember getting the epidural and everyone laughing at me because they said i looked sultry and marilyn monroe-ish while i moaned through a contraction while they were shooting my back up with a needle.
i remember having to lie on my left side because "she doesn't like when you lie on your right"...and smiling that they talked about her as if she was already here....and had a personality...with likes and dislikes. i loved that she didn't like my right side.
i remember knowing it wouldn't happen for awhile and kelly staying with me so brett could go home and get some sleep. ...and sleeping in a dark room knowing i wasn't alone.
i remember brett arriving back early in the morning while i was still sleeping.
i remember wanting to hold her so bad. just wanting to hold her. and crying with the disappointment that it was still a ways away.
i remember telling brett i wanted katie back after she had to leave because her shift ended.
i remember, eleven and a half hours later when i was eight centimeters, katie returning...and brett saying, "katie's back...you'll have her now."
i remember katie telling me ten minutes later that i was a ten.
i remember crying hard. because this was really going to happen.
...oh, tears.
it was beautiful. perfect. kate bush's "this woman's work" played loud throughout the room. and i felt amazing. and i smiled and laughed and pushed. and right before she came out, my doctor looked at everyone and...i'll never forget...said, "don't take the baby...she wants to hold her" because i made it clear a couple days before i wanted her straight in my arms...as long as she was breathing...and i didn't want anyone taking her away from me.
and i saw her come out of me. a little human body came out of me. and she was pink and perfect and crying, and dr. jody handed her right to me. 6 pounds, eight ounces of pure joy. heaven. placed in my arms...and her eyes were open and she was crying and i pulled her pink body to my face and kissed it over and over...let my tears wash her face.
i remember saying, "happy birthday, happy birthday, i love you" over and over. and sobbing. just sobbing with joy. and i remember brett's face so close to mine i could feel the heat from it. and i forgot everyone else in the room existed...and it was the three of us. crying and smiling and laughing and kissing.
and, i swear, it seemed like it lasted an hour. she had big pink lips that pouted out like they were plumped with restylane. and they were friggin' beautiful. i remember thinking i must be dreaming because certainly, the happiness i felt was not humanly possible.
they let me hold her for so long and katie later told me that never, ever happens.
we drank her in...what seemed like forever, but it wasn't even an hour before all of our friends...seventeen to be exact, piled in the birthing room with us to welcome her. and i watched my friends hold her and just couldn't believe this was my baby in their arms. everyone told me before that i wouldn't want to give her up to anyone...but i was completely fine...overjoyed, in fact, watching these people i love hold her and love her too. someone snuck a bottle of champagne in and we poured it in dixie cups. and i remember, just an hour after she was born, my legs still numb, everyone holding their dixie cups up (oh...tears)...and hearing the chorus of voices say, "To Lainey Love"...as they tapped their little paper cups and i held this swaddling thing..our thing...in my arms.
it. was. beautiful.
i remember it was 11:45 at night when the last friends left and it was just me and brett and lainey. and being transferred to the wheelchair to be taken to a new, nicer room upstairs. and being handed my swaddling baby to hold in the chair while they wheeled me up. and just thinking that i had never, ever been more proud. i remember the quiet of the room with the three of us...and we whispered and snuggled in bed together. and about 1:00, i told brett to go home and get some sleep...because i knew he loves his bed and because i knew we would be fine, just us girls. and when he left, i remember thinking my heart would burst. just sitting there, holding her, looking at her knowing i got to be alone with her for the next several hours.
i don't know what else to say. it's just untouchable ground. pure, raw emotion.
...and it's a choppy ending...but it hasn't ended. it keeps going. for 21 months, i've felt that feeling. maybe not as new or raw, but there are days where it just hits me like...holy crap. she was in my body. squished up in my body swipin' her knee across my stomach, and she's out. she's right there, and she's mine. and i love her so very much.
...enjoying the it-was-time-to-get-it-out things. ~k

After reading Nici's latest post, seeing your name highlighted, I thought I would see what you are up to.

well. It is good to read it again. So moving and beautiful.
My favorite parts:
i loved that she didn't like my right side. I remember the same feeling. When Margot was facing the wrong way and I thought I'd burst into pieces from the pain and my midwife said, she's stubborn and doesn't want to turn so we have to make her." Ah, stubborn. Like her mama.
i remember brett's face so close to mine i could feel the heat from it. We are so lucky to have such amazing men.
i'm glad she ate that apple, you know? ha! yes.
i remember katie telling me ten minutes later that i was a ten. i remember crying hard. because this was really going to happen. Oh boy I think every woman has that profoundly grounding moment. It is the very last moment of your life as you knew it.
xo--what I really want to say is this: love you and Lainey! - January 25, 2009 at 9:18 AM

How do you do it? You write the most beautiful things and I know it is all from your heart. I keep looking at Baylee's book and know that I need to write her letter to put in it. How do you write your heart on paper? She is my everything and words cannot express how I felt when she was born. Thank you for sharing her birth story. I need to go sit down and write that letter to Baylee.

i've really been wanting to write the story of my girls.
but haven't... because it wasn't a commemorative birthday or whatever.
but i guess you just have to do it at the right moment, huh? do you suggest beer or wine as an beverage of choice??
love that story. love the friends there until late. love the sending the husband home so that you two could be alone. i did the same thing. so awesome to be alone/together with my babies. - January 26, 2009 at 9:09 AM

Oh, Kelle! That was, beautiful. I relive my 2 birth stories over and have wanted to have them captured in print for my babes to cherish forever. This has lit a fire under my butt!
I have the same feeling looking at my babes ( 3 1/2 and 15 months) that holly SH*T, they were inside of me. I grew them, carried them and nourished them felt their tiny hands and feet kick me....and now here they are. Out in this big world. It's like a piece of my heart is now out side of my body walking around in front of me! I remember look at my first, Abbie, when she was 2 days old, ans saying, she was still supposed to be inside of me. ( she was 1 week early ) and that wrapping my head around the fact that this person I am holding should still be in my body. PURE MAGIC girlfriend, pure freaking miraculous magic!
Gosh, you rock my world Kelle. You get me to stop, and remember these fellings, get me to take those family prtraits, get me to get my butt in gear ans write those damn birth stories down! Thanks babe!! Oh I wish I lived near you.....I know we'd be super fast pals!!

I'm just now getting to read this. I also "met" you with Nella's story. This popped up at the bottom, and I'm so glad it did. Such a beautiful story. I do regret being able to hold my little Noah right away. He wasn't breathing well, and I didn't get to bond with him the way I wanted. (of course I'm glad they took care of him). I'll certainly be holding my baby next time around.
Thanks for sharing. :) - November 20, 2010 at 7:32 PM

I've wanted to read Lainey's birth story since I read Nellas over a year ago! I hope you eventaully have another, because your birth stories are AMAZING.

I also "met" you through Nella's birth story. Amazing how yin and yang these stories feel to me (though they probably didn't seem so for you at the time of their births). I've been writing my birth story for the boys (IDs w/ DS) and I know, reading yours that mine isn't done until I touch the core and feel all that emotion again. It ain't over until the fat lady cries. Thanks for sharing your life, your soul, your family!

So, whenever I get on my computer I always come to your blog (aside from reading and looking at your beautiful pictures) just so I can have your playlist playing in the background as I work on my work or play on the internet. Well, tonight as I scrolled down to click play I clicked on this post from the popular posts list and just wanted to share that I LOVE the last picture of Lainey and for a second thought it was Nella! :)Such sweet little ladies you are raising! I can't wait for the day when I am blessed to write my own children's birth stories.

The first chair sits in the corner of our living room and is too small.
It's too small for my bottom, anyway, but it's perfect for the girls. This was my rocking chair when I was little. They like to stand on it, holding the back, and shout Rock! ROCK! while they look like they're practicing for their future lasso demonstrations on the mechanical bronco.
The second chair sits in the corner of our dining room and is too big.
This chair has a story that begins with our wedding plans. Shortly after M and I told the fam about our engagement I was contacted by my uncle's new wife, whom I had never met. She told me that she is a textile artist and she wanted to make our chuppah for our wedding ceremony. We never met before the wedding but via email we discussed colorways and design influences and I wasn't sure what I'd see on our wedding day, but I was excited to see it. You can see that the fabric is hand-embellished with glass stars and beads and paillettes. She even hand-lettered a line from the Hebrew-language ceremony onto the fabric, despite not knowing any Hebrew.
We arrived to our wedding location on the morning of the ceremony to find my new aunt hanging the chuppah. It was stunning and I was so excited. It received so many compliments was really unlike any other chuppah either we or any of our guests had ever seen. We had a wonderful day and a fantastic party and then M and I left. We assumed that when my mother gathered up the gifts and wedding accoutrements she had taken down the chuppah as well.
Most people we know who have their own chuppahs made subsequently hang them in their homes as commemorative tapestries. We were surprised to find out that my new aunt is not merely a textile artist, she's a furniture artist. Our chuppah came back to us as a chair. I think I might love it even more like this, because I am fairly sure we have the one and only chuppah-chair in the whole wide world. It also stands out for being perhaps the only item in reachable height that I am emphatically firm with the girls about never touching. It's just too delicate, but also too big and too beautiful to remove from their potential accessibility.
The third chair gets moved around but generally stays somewhere in the family room. It is just right.
This, as you can see, is the training potty. L loves to climb up on it; it's probably one of her very favorite sitting places. Note, however, that she only sits on it fully clothed, and only after she removes the bowl that would catch whatever goods might validate the existence of such a seating option. So she's sitting on a bowl-less toilet, but this is still better than the chair's historical function, which was as her big sister's jewelry box.

Tears welled up in her eyes and her voice cracked as Linda Biles pointed to pictures of her niece lined up on a table in her sister's Carmichael home.
"Make sure to let everyone know she loved gymnastics," Biles said.
Biles said Natalie Giorgi, 13, died after biting into a dessert treat covered with a frosting that contained peanut butter.
Giorgi had a diagnosed peanut allergy, and her family was vigilant about avoiding peanuts, said family friends.
Giorgi was celebrating the end of an annual multifamily summertime camping trip to Camp Sacramento in El Dorado County last week.
"It was heartbreaking," said Kelly Brothers, a family friend who was part of a group of roughly six dozen friends camping together.
Brothers said Giorgi bit into a Rice Krispie treat that she didn't know had peanut butter frosting.
Within 20 minutes, the teenager was vomiting and falling into anaphylactic shock, even as her father injected her with three EpiPens.
EpiPens are used to treat an allergic reaction.
"Her dad was a doctor and he couldn't save her from one bite of a dessert. This is a lesson to all of us how serious these allergies are," said Brothers.
Dr. Travis Miller specializes in food allergies with the Capital Allergy and Respiratory Disease Center.
Miller said the number of peanut allergy incidents has tripled in the past decade.
"It's a tough question to answer why," Miller said. "But there are some theories, including that we dry roast peanuts in this country, versus boiling them like much of the rest of the world. The theory is that may create a more allergenic peanut."
Miller said immunotherapy, involving the use of peanuts to build a tolerance with affected persons, has shown some success, but remains controversial within the medical profession.
As for Brothers, who witnessed the girl's death, he said what he saw is proof no one should ever scoff when confronted with a separate peanut-free table in the school cafeteria or a request not to eat peanuts on an airplane.
"There were people who rolled their eyes, I'm sure, but no one ever said anything. I'm sure no one will ever do that again, because we now know what one bite of a peanut can do to a young girl," Brothers said.

The CEO of a successful Internet start-up must decide whether to delay the company's initial public offering following a significant decline in the NASDAQ market during the spring of 2000. The company's CFO is asked to reevaluate the company's projected cash flow needs in light of the new requirement that in order to go public, Internet companies must show positive cash flows within a 12-month horizon. While examining ways to extend the company's working capital, the CFO considers various changes to the company's existing business model, including changes in the company's contractual relationships with both its suppliers and its customers.

Amy is in her 30s, recently divorced, childless and has moved back home to live with her parents. Jeremy is 19, unmarried, an actor, and his mother, who is a therapist, assumes he's gay. Amy's father and his stepfather have a big business deal cooking, one that requires them both to attend one of those dreadful dinners where families must pretend to be friends because there's money to be made.
The conversation is squirmy. Amy's brother, Noah (Daniel Eric Gold), a lawyer, is showing off — and being showed off by their father, who obviously thinks his daughter is a loser. Under these circumstances, what are Amy and Jeremy expected to say? When questioned in order to draw them into the conversation, the acceptable replies are "yes," "fine," "I agree" and "this is such delicious food."
Then their eyes meet across the table. Given their age difference, it would be going too far to describe this moment as love at first sight. Amy (Melanie Lynskey), depressed by divorce and a feeling her life has no purpose, finds she cannot endure one more moment. She leaves the table. Jeremy (Christopher Abbott) follows her. And then, whatddaya know, for his part, it was love at first sight. He makes this urgently clear. She is blindsided and confused. But Jeremy burns with such a bright spark, it is enough to ignite them both.
"Hello, I Must Be Going" is a whimsical comedy about their developing relationship. She resists strongly, not because she doesn't like the young man but because she finds their age difference impossible now and feels it will only grow more so over time.
No, this isn't a film about the double standard by which we accept men with much younger partners but not when it's the other way around. It's more one of those films that depend for humor in situations in which the central couple is threatened by discovery and embarrassment. Those are risks Jeremy, in the fullness of love, willingly accepts. Amy has just failed at an "appropriate" relationship and now is confronted by this … strangeness.
Her mother, Ruth (Blythe Danner), who has always been critical, now is appalled, not least because Amy seems to be sabotaging the deal that would allow husband Stan (John Rubinstein) to settle his affairs and afford to retire. Now there's a guilt trip for you. As for Jeremy's mother, Gwen (Julie White), though therapists are trained to be non-judgmental, my guess is she might be happier if her son had turned out gay.
How do we feel about the romance? This is always a tricky test. The movies so strongly encourage identification that male viewers are presumably required to decide if they find Amy attractive. On that I think a great deal might depend on their own age. Melanie Lynskey (as a human being, not a character) is certainly sweet, cuddly and glows in this performance, but does she generate a sexual gravitation transcending age? A few actresses have all but set up shop as women of a certain age who attract younger lovers. I think of Susan Sarandon, Cameron Diaz and Isabelle Huppert. With Melanie Lynskey, the irresistibility must be in the eye of the beholder.
That may be largely because Amy is such a gray zone. When we meet her she's living life on hold. If there's one thing our society teaches, it's that when you get divorced in your 30s and move back in with Mom and Dad, you think of yourself as a pathetic loser. Amy doesn't believe she can be sexy to Jeremy. If a woman doesn't have that belief, it's hard for a man to feel it. Much credit goes here to Christopher Abbott, whose persuasive performance bridges the gap. He's like a living embodiment of the cliche, "I love you enough for the both of us."
There are scenes in which Amy begins to believe it, too, and begins to warm with tenderness and affection. Notice a scene when the two jump into a swimming pool. There's real sexiness here. But when they have to explain themselves, the result is the kind of lame excuse-making you dread contemplating for the rest of your life.
I can imagine a broader comedy in which the situation might work. Remember Mrs. Robinson or Stifler's mom? But here there's a fugitive undercurrent of sincerity. "Hello, I Must Be Going" raises questions it doesn't have the answers for.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

The U.S. Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence , Lt. Gen. Mary A. Legere, told the newly assigned class of Foreign Area Officers that they are "ambassadors of the U.S. Army at all times," especially while on assignment abroad during their FAO careers.
Lt. Gen Legere, participating by video teleconference, opened the week-long Joint Foreign Area Officers' Course being held at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center with insights into the strategic operating environment and the imperative for students to begin the mastery of their assigned region.
"You must understand the history, politics, geography, economy, religion, and social structure of the region... you must have the ability to sort all that out and communicate it to policy makers," said Legere, describing what is expected of a FAO assigned to a U.S. embassy abroad as a defense attach', security assistance officer, or political-military planner.
The Army G2 spoke to over 65 Army FAOs, who arrived recently at DLIFLC to begin training and academic studies at the Institute or Naval Postgraduate School. Each FAO must learn a foreign language, earn a Master's degree relevant to their assigned region of the world, and gain in-country experience prior to starting a career in the field as an Army FAO.
"You will be engaging foreign military leaders and helping build partnership capacity for our Army by facilitating foreign military cooperation and exercises," among other assignments, said Legere, explaining that at times a FAO may be the only U.S. military officer in an embassy abroad. "In some cases you will be it - the one and only representative of the U.S. Department of Defense."
In order to be successful as a FAO, Legere told students, "You must immerse yourself in the region, sustain your language - which is your weapon system - and maintain yourself as an ambassador at all times," to include moral and ethical integrity, she added.
"You are Soldier-Statesmen for the United States, the Department of Defense and the U.S. Army," said Legere, reminding participants that as FAOs they need to know as much about their own country and military as they do about the foreign nation they are studying. "You are now part of an elite corps of professionals."

Lawyer signs on to represent Jeremy Dodge in land dealBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | June 12,2013MONTPELIER A high-profile attorney with ties to the Republican Party has become the newest character in an ongoing saga featuring the governor of Vermont and his ill-fated land deal.
Brady Toensing, whose former clients include Republican candidate for governor Brian Dubie, has signed on to represent Jeremy Dodge, the East Montpelier man seeking to regain the 16-acre homestead he sold to Peter Shumlin last fall.
Joining Toensing on the case is Joy Karnes Limoge, a Williston attorney who specializes in property law. Limoge was a prominent supporter last year of Randy Brock, Shumlins failed Republican challenger in the race for governor.
Dodges children say Shumlin exploited their troubled father by using the specter of an imminent tax sale to snap up for $58,000 a property now valued by town listers at $140,000. Shumlin has defended the transaction as a fair one for both buyer and seller.
But what has until now been a neighborly dispute could soon turn political as Toensing, a veteran Republican operative, enters the fray.
Toensing on Tuesday denied any partisan motivations. In his lone statement to the press, he said he welcomes the opportunity to assist a fellow Vermonter.
Mr. Dodge has been dealing with a sophisticated and shrewd businessman, a businessman who is also the most powerful person in Vermont, represented by one of the best lawyers money can buy, Toensing said. Mr. Dodge clearly needed some help.
Toensing is known best in political circles in Vermont for his work on behalf of Dubie, whom he defended against campaign finance allegations stemming from his 2010 race for governor. Attorney General William Sorrell said at the time that Dubie violated state laws by sharing polling data with the Republican Governors Association.
Toensing brokered a settlement in which Dubie paid a $10,000 civil penalty and made a $10,000 contribution to the Vermont Foodbank, though Dubie never had to admit wrongdoing.
Toensing is a resident of Charlotte but a partner at diGenova & Toensing LLP, a Washington, D.C., law firm founded by his mother and stepfather. In a 1998 Washington Post article, reporter Howard Kurtz described Victoria Toensing and Joe diGenova as a classic Washington power couple who helped fan the Clinton-Lewinsky political scandal on behalf of Republican interests.
Before joining the family firm, Brady Toensing worked as a legislative assistant in the early 1990s for Warren B. Rudman, the two-term Republican U.S. senator from New Hampshire.
Shumlin has retained his own politically connected lawyer in the form of Jerry Diamond, the former three-term attorney general who was the Democratic nominee for governor in 1980 a race he lost to Republican Richard Snelling.
Shumlin was out of the state Tuesday for a meeting of the National Governors Association in Chicago. Diamond issued a statement welcoming Brady Toensing and Limoge to the table.
I was glad to learn from press reports today that Jeremy Dodge has retained attorneys, Diamond said.
Diamond last week reached out to Dodge through the media, saying Shumlin was willing to void the real estate transaction, as long as Dodge repaid the back taxes and other expenses Shumlin has incurred in the deal thus far. Shumlins out-of-pocket expenses, Diamond noted, are considerably less than the $58,000 sale price, which included nearly $20,000 in prepaid occupancy and repair credits.
Dodge, who didnt return phone calls left Tuesday, has previously said he wants to remain on the property, which he inherited from his parents in 2009. He went public with his sellers remorse late last month, in advance of the July 15 deadline by which he was contractually obligated to be out of the 965-square-foot home that sits on the property he sold to Shumlin. Shumlin moved in next door to Dodge last year.
As I made clear last week, the governor is happy to meet Mr. Dodges request that the property be sold back to Mr. Dodge for what the governor has paid out of pocket, Diamond said in a statement. I was pleased to hear last week that the Dodge family agrees with this outcome, and I look forward to working with Mr. Dodges counsel to bring this to a resolution.
Its unclear whether Dodge or his family is aware of Brady Toensings political ties.
Limoge was a key supporter of Brock, who in his concession speech last year included her name first on the short list of people to whom he offered special thanks for their roles in his campaign. Limoge said Tuesday that her interest in Dodges case has nothing to do with politics.
Poor Jerry Dodge, Limoge said. Hes a hardworking, poor Vermonter, and hes coming up against one of the most powerful men in the state with the means to hire one of the best lawyers in the state. He needs legal representation to get himself through this.
Neither Limoge nor Toensing would comment on whether theyre taking on the case pro bono or, if not, whos footing the bill.
Jack Lindley, chairman of the Vermont Republican Party, said he doesnt have any thoughts on Toensings arrival on the case, other than hes pleased that some very good attorneys have come together to support the Dodge family.
Asked, however, whether hed spoken with Brady Toensing about the Dodge case prior to Toensing announcing his involvement Tuesday morning, Lindley said he had.
At some point (Toensing) had indicated he was thinking about and willing to help a Vermont family, Lindley said. I think he was trying to figure out whether I had heard whether there were any other Vermont attorneys that were willing to step forward. That was his motive, I think, in talking to me about it.
Lindley said he and Toensing otherwise talk only very irregularly.
The Vermont Democratic Party declined to offer any statement on the latest developments in the Shumlin land deal.

Install a new cassette and freewheel to keep your gears turning smoothly. Fitting on the rear wheel, cassettes (and the freewheel bodies they are mounted on) typically have between seven and ten cogs, giving a wide range of gear ratios. However, with use the teeth can become worn down, possibly leading to gears jumping and skipping. For mountain bikes, cassettes are traditionally 7-speed, 8-speed, or 9-speed, but are increasingly moving towards 10 cogs in newer systems from Shimano and SRAM. Meanwhile, 8-speed, 9-speed and 10-speed road bike cassettes are available from these manufacturers and also from Campagnolo. We also stock multi-speed freewheels, which tend to be found on budget bikes, and BMX freewheels.
