Kashiwa Reysol delivered an outstanding display of fortitude and tactical brilliance to overcome strong favourites Real Madrid and advance to the Al Kass 2018 semifinals.
Repeating a pattern established in their previous games, Reysol defended stoutly throughout and sought to hit their opponents on the counterattack, while absorbing continual pressure from a highly accomplished Madrid side who created enough chances to win several matches.
The Madridistas were in command from the first whistle and, just three minutes in, were almost in front when Alvaro De Frias collected the ball in a central area just outside the box and curled a delicious left-footed strike that looked destined for the top corner, only for Reysol keeper Leo Kokubo to make an athletic save, diving to tip the ball over the bar.
The chance was indicative of Madrid's early dominance, with De Frias – playing 'in the hole' behind strike partner Juan Latasa – pulling the strings. But on eight minutes, Kashiwa – as they have done so often in the past at Al Kass – ripped up the formbook, with Mao Hosoya capitalising on a goalmouth scramble to fire the Japanese into an unexpected lead.
It was a lead they held for just one minute because, with the very next attack, Real were level. Jorge Camunas picked the ball up midway inside Reysol's half, and advanced unchallenged before shooting hard and low past Kokubo from the edge of the area.
With parity quickly restored, the match began to develop into a fascinating contest of contrasting styles, with Madrid enjoying plenty of possession, only for their precise build-up play to be frequently disrupted by the highly disciplined Reysol backline, who then looked to feed their forwards in the hope of launching rapid counterattacks.
The tactic worked to perfection on 23 minutes when Fumiya Unoki was set free through the middle and shot, his effort well-saved by Real keeper Toni Ribera. However, the ball was only half-cleared and instantly returned to the area. With the static Madrid defence appealing in vain for offside, Hiryu Okuda slotted into the bottom left corner.
And, on the half hour mark, they sprung Real's offside trap once more, with Okuda running clear – despite a suspicion of offside – only for his shot to be deflected wide.
On 38 minutes, Madrid coach Manual Fernandez made an early switch, withdrawing Carlos Gonzalez for fellow midfielder Eneko Gines, as Los Blancos patiently attempted to pick a way through Reysol's well-drilled formation, but mainly confined to long-range efforts.
With the interval three minutes away, De Frias smashed another superb effort from outside the area, which Kokubo was once again equal to, as Kashiwa saw out the first half with their one-goal advantage maintained.
Within seconds of the restart, however, Real almost drew level when substitute Christian Garcia tested Kokubo from eight yards out, the Reysol keeper reacting smartly to ensure he was not beaten at his near post. Undaunted, the Spanish youngsters continued to fashion opportunities and, with the game an hour old, their patience paid off.
Camunas beat his man down the left and delivered an inviting cross that Latasa rose to meet, planting a firm header to square the score at 2-2.
With 20 minutes remaining, Latasa nearly put Madrid in front with another fine header, only for his effort to come back of the crossbar and bounce to safety. Incredibly, just two minutes later, Garcia also thundered a header against the woodwork.
Kashiwa were now struggling to cope with Real's attacking potency and, within seconds, Garcia had the ball in the net, having run clear and rounded Kokubo before applying a side-footed finish, only for the referee to signal offside – a decision that the Madrid bench loudly contested.
Real were beginning to get on top of Kashiwa, yet the Spaniards were never fully in control, nor entirely comfortable. The game was reminiscent of Reysol's opener against Tottenham, where Kashiwa had taken the lead against the run of play three times en route to a 3-2 victory, despite the London side dominating throughout.
substitute Koki Takeda got on the end of a cross from the left and somehow contrived to hit the post, with keeper Ribera stranded.
Madrid had been warned and, with a penalty shootout looming, the irrepressible Japanese snatched a sensational victory. Sohki Tamura got on the ball midway inside Real's half, dashing forward before feeding Hosoya, who made no mistake from six yards out.
Kashiwa will now play the highly fancied Benfica on Monday evening in a clash that seems certain to enthral the Aspire crowd. And, based on their track record, the formidable Japanese side will firmly believe they are capable of delivering yet another upset.

It would seem that Guy Oscard, in his thick-headed way, was conscious of this mystery in the air; for he had not been two hours in Msala before he asked "Who is that woman?" and received the reply which has been recorded. After dinner they passed out on to the little terrace overlooking the river, and it was here that the great Simiacine scheme was pieced together.
Henry Seton Merriman - With Edged Tools
He is quite straight upon that point, whatever he may be upon others. He knows this country, and he is not making any mistake about the Simiacine, whatever " "His powers of sick-nursing may be," suggested Jack. "Yes, that's it. We'll put it that way if you like." "Thanks, I do prefer it. Any fool could call a spade a spade.
Nearly six weeks had elapsed since Oscard with his little following had turned their backs for ever on the Simiacine Plateau. But now the period of acute danger had passed away. They had almost reached civilisation. Oscard was content. When Oscard was content he smoked a slower pipe than usual watching each cloud of smoke vanish into thin air.
"Then," cried Jocelyn, with flaming cheeks, "I will tell you. You were to be admitted into the Simiacine scheme by Mr. Durnovo if you could persuade or force me to marry him." None of them had foreseen this. It had come about so strangely, and yet so easily, in the midst of their first greeting. "Yes," admitted Maurice, "that was it." "And what answer did you give?" asked Jocelyn.
By the train leaving Wiesbaden for Cologne, "over Mainz," as the guide-book hath it, Jack Meredith left for England, in which country he had not set foot for fifteen months. Guy Oscard was in Cashmere; the Simiacine was almost forgotten as a nine days' wonder except by those who live by the ills of mankind. Millicent Chyne had degenerated into a restless society "hack."
He has a right to know. Tell him upon what condition Mr. Durnovo proposed to admit you into the Simiacine." Maurice still hesitated, bewildered, at a loss as men are when a seemingly secure secret is suddenly discovered to the world.
Guy Oscard led the way to the smoking-room at the back of the house the room wherein the eccentric Oscard had written his great history the room in which Victor Durnovo had first suggested the Simiacine scheme to the historian's son. The two survivors of the originating trio passed into this room together, and closed the door behind them.
Oscard produced a match, and, striking it on his boot, sheltered it with the hollow of his hand, while Jack read: "We, the undersigned, hereby enter into partnership to search for and sell, to our mutual profit, the herb known as Simiacine, the profits to be divided into three equal portions, after the deduction of one-hundredth part to be handed to the servant, Joseph Atkinson.
He took the decanter and put it to the worst use he could have selected. "Not so soon as that," he said; "but in time in time." "Lucky beggar!" muttered Maurice Gordon, with a little sigh. "I don't mind telling you," said Durnovo, with a sudden confidence begotten of Madeira, "that it's Simiacine that's what it is. I can't tell you more."
And this man the mighty warrior whose name was as good as an army in Central Africa went down on his knees one night to Guy Oscard, imploring him to abandon the Simiacine Plateau, or at all events to allow him to go down to Loango with Meredith and Joseph. "No," said Oscard; "Meredith held this place for us when he could have left it safely. He has held it for a year. It is our turn now.

What does feel unfortunately ordinary (the normal kind) is that I was wrapped up in many things for the last few weeks, and none of them were blogging, so here are two weeks of what I wore Sunday.
Again, I wanted to show off my toes. Again, Mr. Man was frustrated by how slowly I walk in these shoes. I'm pretty sure that's a man thing, though. Men's shoes are always practical, so they never require a different walk. The most they need are comfort insoles. This blouse is what I typically wear for interviews. I like that it's structured, and although I usually wear it with a skirt, it works with pants, too. And it doesn't need to be tucked in!
Although Trinity Sunday and Corpus Christi are special solemnities, they are not "continuations of the Easter season," as the deacon at Mass said. I was quickly appeased by his quite excellent homily about the Trinity. Yes, blah blah mystery, blah blah can't understand it, but, as our deacon also said, acknowledging the mysterious reality of the Trinity doesn't mean we can't talk about it at all.
The Trinity, he said, is not so much a thing as a relationship. In the first reading, God shares his name with Moses. Giving your name is usually the beginning of a relationship, right? Similarly, the Gospel highlights that God gave his son—in relationship, not just sending him off and recalling him just as brusquely.
As Christians, we all have a relationship with the relationship of the Trinity. It begins when we are baptized in the name of the Trinity, it is strengthened by the trinitarian blessing at Mass, and we encourage it daily when we pray under the Sign of the Cross. Not bad for a mystery.
We returned to a parish we've visited before due to its terrifically convenient late evening Mass time. It's not exactly known for being old-school. The parish we went to for Pentecost omitted the sequence, but this parish included the Corpus Christi sequence! The lector gave maybe the most awkward reading/recitation of a sequence I've ever heard, but the sequence was in fact done.
Fr. C has a very "live out loud," audience-participatory style to his homilies. He walked to the back of the church and escorted a random trio of people from the back right up to the front of the sanctuary. (I have no fear of this tactic. I was actually whispering "pick me!" as he was warning people not to try to avoid eye contact.) This trio turned out to be a father and his two young adult children, and they played along well, serving the pastor's point that fathers often give their children advice about the future based on what they themselves have experienced. Similarly, Moses spends much of Deuteronomy giving the Israelites as much wisdom as he can before they enter the Promised Land.
The Bible Timeline is where I first learned about Deuteronomy, so I was bursting with excitement to hear Fr. C give such a succinct, easy explanation of that part of salvation history. We tend to think of Moses as being a near-perfect figure, but he did not make it into the Promised Land because of his late-in-life act of disobedience to God. The best he could do was to prepare his spiritual children by telling them how to live blessed lives, remembering who really sustains them through hunger and thirst: God.
In the Gospel, Jesus reveals that the manna from heaven was just beginner bread. His body will be the real bread from heaven. I kind of wanted Fr. C to lean a little heavier on the point of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, but I guess no homily can have everything. He managed to connect Father's Day to church very neatly and to encourage us to seek spiritual nourishment in the Eucharist, so maybe that's good enough for one week.
My May kind of crawled along, much like April, but then it picked up like crazy! The last few days have been slightly overwhelming. I'm not engaged; I just got a job. Blog-appropriate details are forthcoming.
Planning: Well, my life is kind of up in the air at the moment. This is good because having a job means I have things to do, but it's bad because I sort of had a life beforehand. I love habits and routines, and mine have changed a lot. Setting new routines will take a while, and although I am glad to have the reason for the changes, I'm anxious about how those changes are actually going to go.
Yes, that is all vague. It's vague on purpose.
Wishing: I had put more attention into completing my personal projects when I had more time on my hands. I'm delighted to have kept up my prayer habits, worked on my Spanish vocabulary, and read the entire books of Wisdom, Timothy, and 1 Peter, but my physical files are just as sloppy as they were before.
Learning: The ropes of my new job. I forgot how awful it is to be the new girl, but there are some clear advantages. I'm older, so I know my self-worth, maturity, and capabilities. I've experienced enough company and organizational cultures to know that every one is different. You just have to learn over time who to trust, who has your back, and how things go around the place (especially as they relate to the way they're supposed to go). That was probably one of my best takeaways from my last job: figuring out the culture, finding my place in it, and rejecting it where appropriate.
Browsing: The J-Archive. Since I watch the show live most days now, I'm really just looking for the winners' Coryat scores (at-home score equivalents) to see how well or poorly I'm doing. I got Final Jeopardy! wrong for over a week a while back, which was sobering. Without the data, though, I wouldn't have realized that at all.
Going: To visit Mr. Man's family for Memorial Day. Most of my friends in Austin were too far into parenting for a young adult celebration of holidays, but not far enough into it for a family-plus-friends-and-their-families gathering, so I spent most of my holidays alone for a while. It was nice to not be alone.
I started blogging about using Todoist instead of Wunderlist.
I became re-certified in Adult CPR and AED. I am now qualified to save your life.
Mr. Man and I crushed at trivia (more than once!), attended a wedding together (just the one time), and finished watching the first season of A Series of Unfortunate Events. I think I can safely say we enjoyed all of these things.
I got my teaching license renewed.
So what's new with you? What are you learning currently?
Currently is hosted on the first Wednesday of each month by Anne of In Residence. This month's guest co-host is Erin of Love, Fun, and Football. Won't you join us?
After only two months, I'm already accustomed to going to Mass with Mr. Man. It helps tremendously that, not having lived in Louisville independently, I don't have any parish ties. I'm about ready to settle down with a parish, though. We'll see how that goes.
But I'll take any number of fellow liturgical dressers. I forgot to request that Mr. Man join me this week. Maybe he'll wear a white shirt for Trinity Sunday?
We returned to last week's parish. Father L began his homily by comparing the process of learning to follow Jesus to learning a trade. I don't think as many people learn trades as they used to, though. Think about how many people struggle with cooking. That's something you usually learn at home. Basic car repair tasks like checking tire air pressure and replacing windshield wiper blades become mysteries. There's a whole category of things that I hear people complain they "didn't learn in school," but school isn't supposed to be the place where you learn everything.
Those were my thoughts, though, not his point. His point was that apprenticeship always starts with the easy lessons, the ones that seem dumb. "Here's a socket wrench. This is what it does." "Brown this ground beef." When you thought you were learning how to build a table or make lasagna, the first steps seem like boring hoops to hump through before you get to the good stuff.
In later days and years of our spiritual maturity, we're heading toward the goal more obviously. It's easy to forget that the spiritual masters became so, however, because they mastered the easy steps first. St. Teresa of Calcutta didn't have to wonder whether she really needed to go to Mass on Sunday or if she could skip it occasionally because she was busy. She just went.
Getting to that level of mastery requires the help of the Holy Spirit. We can ask for his help. We should ask for his help and be attentive to receiving it. We must beg the Holy Spirit for possession of our beginner-level hearts to lead us toward spiritual mastery in heaven.
I caused a bit of a kerfuffle in the comments section after last week's take on constructive criticism. I've been reading advice from Gottman Certified Therapists for several months now (maybe even years), so I'm very familiar with the lingo. As with basically all areas of my life, words were very important to the point I was trying to make there. I was working with the Gottman definition of criticism, which is very specific and applies to the thoughts I shared. If you define it differently, then yes, I might have sounded like a crazy person.
The Gottmans are known for their Love Lab, wherein they videotaped couples after asking them to recall a recent disagreement. Through analyzing these conversations, they identified four major behaviors that were far more prevalent in couples that eventually divorced than in couples that stayed together. He calls them the four horsemen of the apocalypse: criticism, contempt, stonewalling, and defensiveness.
So when I hear "criticism," I hear "horseman of the relationship apocalypse." That's why I think constructive criticism ruins relationships, at home and in the world.
Some of the comment-section discussion on whether constructive criticism can ever be okay turned more towards "feedback." I think of feedback as being positive, negative, or even neutral, but some people have the same aversion to that word as I do to "criticism." Smart, Pretty, and Awkward recently included a link to an article about asking for advice instead of feedback. As a culture, we know that advice is meant to be helpful. If someone gives you unhelpful advice (or advice you don't want to take), you just ignore it. That's a strategy I can get behind.
I use Windows 10, and after the most recent major update (it's called the "Creators Update"), I kept seeing an all-black window flash across the screen at random times. It was too fast for me to see, and I thought it was a fluke the first time, but it got annoying very quickly. So, once I caught enough of a glimpse during the split-second to have a phrase to Google, I found some help over at Ghacks to stop the pop-up. And now it's gone.
I think I'm a terrible Catholic because I stopped liking the rosary. I used to pray it on my agonizingly long commute home every day, but after a few weeks here in Louisville sans commute, it started feeling like a chore. I know, I know! I couldn't not pray, though, so I switched to the Divine Mercy Chaplet, and all is well once again. Except when I forget that the Hail Mary is followed by the Apostles Creed and not a Glory Be, but that's easily resolved.
I got some positive work-related news this week, but nothing I'm ready to blog about. It's nice to finally have some.


6/15/2018 Well Run Company & Extremely Respectful — A Perfect Move, Inc.
Started the call off by saying the crew did an amazingly good job. They had a positive attitude and were more than helpful with the process of downsizing. There was a tall member of the crew who took the time to rearrange their previously-used storage unit to better fit the new items. There was a younger guy assigned to a curio cabinet stuffed with small glassware like figurines who actually took a photograph of all the figurines in their current position, individually wrapped each one, then put them safely back in the cabinet after the move in the exact same places they had been beforehand. Mark was in awe and couldn't believe the painstaking detail the crew member was taking. Very special touch.

Just like the original tale, this slot game is a heartwarming story of a young girl living in servitude to her ugly sisters who, thanks to the Fairy Godmother, finally gets to go to the ball and marry Prince Charming. It's the classic rags-to-riches story we're sure all Free Slots Pro players will recognize and enjoy.
But that's not the only reason to get excited about this game: with The Glass Slipper, OpenBet has come very close to achieving the innovative quality of NetEnt slots such as Gonzo's Quest. The graphics in The Glass Slipper are 3D. There's an opening movie clip packed full of fun characters to familiarize you with the Cinderella story. And Cinderella herself stands beside the animation-packed reels, wishing you well as you spin.
The Glass Slipper online slot is very simple to operate with one unusual feature: all 20 paylines are activated at all times. This means that whatever you "bet" in terms of credits is a bet on all 20 paylines at once. Of course this isn't really relevant for Free Slots players, as we're all just spinning for entertainment here anyway, but it's interesting to know.
Wilds – These are the Glass Slipper Wild symbols. They substitute for all symbols except the Jackpot symbol (the Glass Slipper nestled on a luxurious red velvet cushion).
Super Wilds – Triggered by the Super Wild Dove symbol landing on reel five. If this happens, doves fly over the reels, changing up to five symbols into wilds, which substitute for all symbols except Scatters and Jackpots.
The Spring Clean Bonus – This interactive bonus game is launched by the Scatter symbol (a wooden pale of water). If one of these symbols lands on reel five, the Spring Clean Bonus is triggered. When this happens, you have to help Cinderella wash the windows – for every clean window there's a reward of credits, but make sure you don't break any!
Magic Free Spins – Triggered by the Fairy Godmother Scatter symbol landing on reels one, three and five. You can win up to 50 Free Spins. With each free spin time ticks forward on the clock, but you have to help Cinderella get to the Grand Ball before midnight! You do this by spinning – there are three magic symbols that only appear during the Free Spins round, it's these symbols that you are hoping to land in a line win.
The Grand Ball Bonus – This is triggered if you manage to gather all three magic symbols during the Magic Free Spins game. In this interactive bonus game you have to select dance moves for Cinderella to perform so she will charm the prince and win his heart. You have until the clock strikes midnight!
The Progressive Jackpot – This is of course only relevant for players playing for real cash and therefore not for anyone playing here at Free Slots. The Progressive Jackpot is triggered if you land five Glass Slipper symbols on an activated payline.
As you can see, The Glass Slipper is all about the special features, but the audio and graphics are worth a mention too. At Free Slots, we love it when a game developer goes all out with 3D graphics and animations, so credit to OpenBet for that.
Definitely a lot of fun even when you're spinning just for free. It's an eight out of ten from us.


I'm so bad at checking the forecast, so I'm always that girl who's dressed completely wrong for the weather. That's why I love layering for transition seasons like Fall and Spring. In this casual, everyday look I paired a crinkle pleat, dusty blue turtleneck under a satin and black lace cami. On the bottom I'm wearing my favorite jeans of the moment with a destroyed fringe hem. To bring the look together, I accessorized with my black, gunmetal chain bag and black brow bar sunglasses.
For the styling of this look, I wanted to keep the focus on the play between textures on the lace cami and the crinkled turtleneck. So, I'm wearing my go-to, simple black velvet booties from Zara and no jewelry here.
Just like you I always miss to check the weather forecast and so I'm dressed wrong most of the time.
These jeans are gorgeous. I love their destroyed hems!!!
Aw thanks so much! That's so sweet of you!
Love these jeans! looks great on you!
I need these jeans … perfect combo.
They're from Lulu's! & they're super flattering for any shape. Definitely a must!
I'm really big on layering!
Right! Layering makes dressing for the weather super easy!
I'm completely the same way! I'm really bad at checking the forecast before I walk out the door, but fortunately since weather in California doesn't change much.. it has worked out pretty fine for me. I totally struggled during the period I lived in Japan though!
Thanks so much Alexandra!! So sweet of you!
Wonderful pictures and awesome blog hun!! 🙂 Have subscribed!
Thanks so much Eva! Such a sweetheart.
Such a cool look! Love the jeans with the fray detail. Also your hair is gorgeous!

How 2014 ushered in the new police state era in Australia
A confluence of factors has meant that the past four years have seen the development of a police state in Australia aimed at punishing dissent. But ultimate responsibility lies with voters.
Syria would test any president. It is far, far beyond the abilities of Trump.
As Trump contends with forever-mounting pressure at home, his already feeble hold on the Middle East continues to slacken.
Crikey Worm: Manus images released

Previous: To Secretary of the Navy. July 25, 1863.
Next: To General G. G. Meade. July 27, 1863.
Letter to Governor Parker. July 25, 1863.
HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR JOEL PARKER.
SIR:--Yours of the 21st is received, and I have taken time and considered and discussed the subject with the Secretary of War and Provost-Marshal General, in order, if possible, to make you a more favorable answer than I finally find myself able to do.
It is a vital point with us to not have a special stipulation with the governor of any one State, because it would breed trouble in many, if not all, other States; and my idea was when I wrote you, as it still is, to get a point of time to which we could wait, on the reason that we were not ready ourselves to proceed, and which might enable you to raise the quota of your State, in whole, or in large part, without the draft. The points of time you fix are much farther off than I had hoped. We might have got along in the way I have indicated for twenty, or possibly thirty, days. As it stands, the best I can say is that every volunteer you will present us within thirty days from this date, fit and ready to be mustered into the United States service, on the usual terms, shall be pro tanto an abatement of your quota of the draft. That quota I can now state at eight thousand seven hundred and eighty-three (8783). No draft from New Jersey, other than for the above quota, will be made before an additional draft, common to [all] the States, shall be required; and I may add that if we get well through with this draft, I entertain a strong hope that any further one may never be needed. This expression of hope, however, must not be construed into a promise.
As to conducting the draft by townships, I find it would require such a waste of labor already done, and such an additional amount of it, and such a loss of time, as to make it, I fear, inadmissible.
P. S.--Since writing the above, getting additional information, I am enabled to say that the draft may be made in subdistricts, as the enrolment has been made, or is in process of making. This will amount practically to drafting by townships, as the enrollment subdistricts are generally about the extent of townships. A.L.

Flood insurance nightmares still haunt Sandy families
Russ Zimmer
Asbury Park (N.J.) Press, Neptune, N.J.
TOMS RIVER, N.J. — When the storm surge from superstorm Sandy shoved the Kettle Creek into Doug Quinn's home, he waded through waist-deep water to escape in the middle of the night. Ask him today and he'll tell you that was the easy part.
"Nobody ever thought our insurance company and our government would cheat us, and I'm sorry, but that's the way we feel," he said during a news conference, arranged by U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., and attended by other families with insurance and rebuilding woes, in the shell of Quinn's home. "I never thought in a million years that after two years we'd still be out of our home and — take a look around — we're not even close."
Quinn has been going back and forth with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (for his National Flood Insurance Program policy payout) and the state (for disaster aid) for a home that he and 17-year-old daughter Megan have been displaced from longer than they lived in it.
Quinn, a former U.S. Marine, and Megan have been living in a rental in Toms River since the storm. To add insult to injury, Quinn has been informed that because he's been out of his house for so long — clamoring for the money needed to rebuild it — that his Pine Crest Drive home is no longer considered his primary residence for flood-insurance purposes. Because of that his premium shoots up by 25 percent, or about $500 a year.
Quinn plans on contesting the change, but he sounds exhausted just talking about it.
"Here's the thing. You can do this, that, this, that — everyone's overwhelmed," he said. "How do I make a living? How do I raise my child? How do I do all this stuff while I spend huge chunks of time filling out paperwork … on the phone arguing with people, getting bounced around, getting disconnected, waiting for phone calls not returned, emails not returned, we need this, we need that. So yeah, that fight goes on the pile — with the other 100 fights I'm fighting."
Menendez, who pledged to inquire about the payout process during a Wednesday Senate hearing with the head of FEMA, said the claims process is structured in a way that is detrimental to policyholders.
"FEMA has set up the process to prevent overpayments, which has resulted in countless homeowners being low-balled," said Menendez, who has also been championing flood insurance premium relief recently.
In Quinn's case, he was covered up to $250,000 for flood damage to his home. He has been approved for $92,800 by his insurer, which administers the program on FEMA's behalf, for what Quinn and his attorney — he is considering suing for underpayment — believe was about $254,000 worth of damage.
"It works out to about 35 cents on the dollar," he said.
Selective, Quinn's insurer, did not immediately respond to messages. FEMA, which will not comment on individual policies, notes that adjusters who handle claims for insurers like Selective are paid only when cases are closed and the bigger the claim, the more they are paid. A FEMA spokesman said that $8 billion has been paid out and that 99.6 percent of Sandy-related claims have been closed.
But Quinn argues that many people were not as prepared as he was to dispute their underpayment and took what he called "shut up and go away money" because they didn't know their options.
"I'm a financial adviser," he said. "I'm used to paperwork and bureaucracy and dealing with insurance companies. … If I'm frustrated and at my wit's end, what about the average person?"
Quinn opened up his home to reporters and another dozen or so homeowners who were invited by Menendez's staff after they made flood insurance complaints to the senator's office. Menendez spoke behind a podium, which was just in front of a gaping hole in the floor, revealing the home's foundation. All the interior walls had been knocked out.
During a 10-minute question-and-answer session with New Jersey's senior U.S. senator, homeowners leaned up against the wall frames to ask why FEMA was taking so long to respond to their appeal, or what was happening with SBA loans, or how could they be excluded from one grant program after another. Many were flummoxed by state-run programs, which Menendez has no direct influence over.
George Kasimos founded the grassroots Stop FEMA Now in January 2013 after he ran into wall after wall trying to get answers about how he should go about rebuilding his Sandy-destroyed home. He was outside the event on Monday mingling and handing out yard signs.
He encouraged people in similar situations to do what Quinn is considering — get a lawyer and file a lawsuit.
"Every insurance company in New Jersey has agreed to go to mediation if there's an issue, except for the NFIP," he said.

But why do we say that "the dice are loaded"?
Stéphane Bern returns, in his column "The word of the end", on an expression that every player has heard one day, "the dice are loaded". A way of saying that the outcome of a game is sewn up with white thread, often to the detriment of the one who advances these accusations. In fact, the expression finds its origins in the world of hunting in the Middle Ages.
Stéphane Bern returns, in his column "The last word", on an expression that every player has heard one day, "the dice are loaded".
A way of saying that the outcome of a game is sewn up with white thread, often to the detriment of the one who advances these accusations.
In fact, the expression finds its origins in the world of hunting in the Middle Ages.
Stéphane Bern suggests every day, in
Historically yours
with Matthieu Noël, to discover these expressions that we use on a daily basis without necessarily knowing their origin.
This Tuesday, the host makes a foray into the field of the game with "the dice are loaded", a way of signaling that the outcome of a game (or any other process, for that matter) is known in advance, despite the appearance of chance and indecision.
"When we play, whatever the game, we hate that the opponent does not respect the rules and we have only one fear: that the dice are loaded. In the 13th century, a pipe, or a pipet, is a call that is used in hunting to attract birds, often to bring them into a trap.
The bird trapped
This still exists, especially with glue, even if it is normally prohibited and suspended since the end of last August.
This pipet was the ancestor of the pipet, used in the pictorial expression to denounce someone who is lying.
>> Find the shows of Matthieu Noël and Stéphane Bern in replay and podcast here
In the 14th century, 'piper' means 'to imitate the cry of a bird to attract it'.
The deception is obvious and the bird, sometimes too late, understands that he has been played on.
Thus, some dice are loaded, namely that they were designed to deceive the person with whom you are playing.
English fish, Portuguese sinkers
Quebeckers have kept the expression and use it when someone tells stories.
It is said then that he 'tales pipes'.
Among the English, to say that there is a fraud, we say 'something is fishy', which means that there is something 'fishy'.
As for our Portuguese friends, the expression 'os dados sao chumbados' is used, namely 'the dice are sealed'.

On Genevieve Bujold as Anne Boleyn
Genevieve Bujold in Anne of the Thousand Days
FROM "THE CREATION OF ANNE BOLEYN". DO NOT QUOTE OR CITE WITHOUT APPROVAL OF SUSAN BORDO.
Casting Genevieve Bujold was Hal Wallis's smartest decision in making Anne of the Thousand Days, and he did so without benefit of a screen-test or even a personal interview, simply on the basis of viewing her in the French-Canadian film Isabel (1968, and directed by then-husband Paul Almond).
"The minute she appeared on the screen, Wallis wrote in his autobiography Starmaker, "I was riveted. I saw a tiny, seeming fragile woman made of steel—willful, passionate, intense. She was exactly the actress I wanted to play Anne."
In 1964, when Wallis first acquired the rights to the play, The New York Times had announced that he was negotiating with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton to play the roles of Anne and Henry. But unless Wallis is lying in his autobiography, he never actually considered Taylor for the role. He recalls a lunch he had with her in 1967, in which "Elizabeth hung on my every word. I was surprised by her attention, as there was no part in the picture for her. Over an elaborate desert she took a deep breath and said, 'Hal, I've been thinking about it for weeks. I have to play Anne Boleyn!' My fork stopped halfway to my mouth. Anne Boleyn? Elizabeth was plump and middle-aged; Anne was a slip of a girl. The fate of the picture hung in the balance. I could scarcely bring myself to look at Richard." Burton, however, "handled it beautifully. He put his hand on hers, looked her directly in the eye, and said, 'Sorry, luv. You're too long in the tooth.'" Any hard feelings were handled by a huge fee for Burton ($1,250,000 plus) and cameos for Liz (as a masked dancer at a ball) as well as Burton's daughter Kate, and Taylor's daughter Liza.
But Bujold was cast not simply because she was slim and young. In an interview with me, she surprised me by crediting Wallis with the instincts and interpretation that culminated in her own memorable Anne. They led Wallis, first, to "see something" in a virtually unknown actress, and Bujold is convinced that what he saw—and it matches Wallis's own account–was his already formed, and quite unconventional, idea of Anne as neither hapless victim nor scheming villainess, but Henry's equal in spirit, intellect, and will. "He recognized something that was already a part of me," she told me, and whatever was missing he then supplied, in the form of coaches to help her get the accent exactly right, and his own "great guidance."
For Genevieve, to be picked to play Anne was a complete surprise. But her own history had prepared her well to play a young woman breaking through the confinements of convention. She had grown up in a devout French-Canadian Catholic household, and spent her first twelve school years in a convent; in an online biography, she is quoted as saying that at the time she felt "as if I were in a long, dark tunnel, trying to convince myself that if I could ever get out, there was light ahead." But something about her deep religious training made its way into her attitude toward acting. When asked in 2007 how she prepared for her roles, she answered, "You pray for grace. If you've done your homework and, most of all, are open to receive, you go forward…Preparation for me is sacred." But going forward with her own life required rebellion, as well; she finally "got out' of the tunnel by being caught reading a forbidden book. Liberated to pursue her own designs for her life, she enrolled in Montreal's free Conservatoire d'Art Dramatique; while on tour in Paris with the company, she was discovered by director Alain Resnais, who cast her in the acclaimed La Guerre est Finie.
When Wallis called, she had already been in several well-received films, but, as she told me, "was still something of an unwritten page. At the time I was married to Paul Almond, living in the East end of Montreal, and enjoying my life. But I definitely had ambition. When that call came I was shocked. Pleasantly so, of course." But playing Anne, she found, "felt extremely natural to me," in no small part because Wallis encouraged all those qualities that he had seen in Genevieve that already matched his picture of Anne. "You can't put something into a character," she said, "that you haven't got within you. Every little thing in life is fed into the character…A word, a thought. I had read something on Anne Boleyn that Hal gave me and I could look at her with joy and energy; Anne brought a smile to my face." I asked her what elicited that smile. "Independence. A healthy sense of justice. And she knew herself and was well with herself. She obviously had such profound integrity in that respect. She was willing to lose her head to go to the end of her movement."
"Going to the end of ones movement" is an acting (and dance) metaphor—don't short-circuit the emotion, the bodily expression, the commitments of the personality you are playing, allow them to fully unfold—that has deep meaning for Genevieve. She had learned its importance years before, from Resnais. "Always go to the end of your movement, he told me. And that, still, is in me, will always be with me." That's what we see in her portrayal of Anne, especially in that final speech, and it's why "My Elizabeth shall be queen! And my blood will have been well spent!!" is rousing rather than hokey. Even at a recent festival of Burton's films, held by the British Film Institute, "the audience made it quite clear with whom their sympathy lies. In the Tower scene they called out "Go, Anne, go, you tell him!"
Anne of the Thousand Days was my first introduction, since the boring, sexless Tudor history I'd read in high school, to the story of Henry and Anne. I had no idea what was invented and what was historically documented, but it made no difference. I loved fiery, rebellious Anne. I loved the way she bossed Richard Burton's Henry around like a surly, 20th-century teenager. I loved the fact that Genevieve Bujold's hair was messy as she delivered that speech to Henry, loved her intensity, loved her less-than-perfectly symmetrical beauty, loved the fact that someone that small could pack such a wallop. Even today, viewers feel much the same way—including Bujold's own grandaughter, who saw the movie in 2007 and, in Genevieve's words, was "riveted." Unlike me when I first saw the movie, today's viewers have had several other Annes to compare. Still, many of them—both male and female–cast their vote for Bujold: "Everything I imagine Anne really was"; "How I always picture Anne—as a strong woman not a sniveling girl"; "The gold standard of Annes"; "When I imagine Anne, it is her that I see"; "The definitive Anne Boleyn for me"; "Pitch-perfect"; "So powerful that she turned a big, touch guy like myself into a wimpering fool"; "A remarkable actress. I will never forget the scene where she and Henry go riding from Hever…Purely from her body language, she radiates suppressed hatred towards Henry—just by sitting on a horse! And who can forget her in the blue gown, with jewels in her hair, looking devastatingly beautiful and in total command of herself and the situation."[1]
Most movies of the late nine-sixties have not worn exceptionally well, particularly with today's generation of viewers, for whom many of the rebellions of the times seem dated and silly. My students snoozed through Easy Rider. With Anne of the Thousand Days, the passing years and changing culture have had the opposite effect; my students adored it. "Maybe it was predictable and almost too beautiful for the time period," writes one contemporary blogger, "but the heart of the film is the way in which the complex historical figures are portrayed in a human way. More historically accurate than most films of its kind, Anne of the Thousand Days gave audiences a view into the turbulent world of England on the eve of its reformation as well as a hint at the greatness that was to come from the union of of Henry and Anne." A view into a period of English history, yes. But most of all, an Anne that seems to become "truer" as the generations have become less patient with passive heroines and perhaps a bit tired by the cutesy, man-focused femininity of many current female stars.
Before I said good-by to Genevieve in our interview, I asked her who she would pick to play Anne today. She admitted that she hadn't seen either Natalie Portman or Natalie Dormer; she lives fairly reclusive life in Malibu, and rarely sees movies or watches television. "But is there anyone who you think would do the part justice?" She was silent for awhile, then asked me if she could be honest. Of course, I said. "Maybe it's selfish, but…the way I feel…." Genevieve had been so warm and generous throughout the interview, praising all her mentors and influences in her life, she was clearly a bit uncomfortable with what she wanted to say. So, I pressed a bit more, and she responded, with an intensity that recalled her performance and made me smile with delight.
"No-one," Genevieve replied, "Anne is mine."

Neuromuscular dentists are often criticized as dentists who just open the bite. What happens when we open the bite and maybe things don't go exactly as planned? The patient still may be suffering from symptoms, restorative treatment gets delayed and the patient begins losing confidence in the dentist to solve their problem. What happens when the patient is your father!
My father, Roy Adler, who I treated for many years, had a severe traumatic painful episode in his left TMJ while eating an Italian ham sandwich on a French baguette. I have to be specific because my father takes his food very seriously. You see… I know his eating habits well. I also have a long dental history to fall back on, clues as to why this happened at this stage in his life. The clues that led directly to his episode helped me ultimately to determine the treatment that would relieve his pain… although the solution was not clear at first.
My father was well aware of my neuromuscular dental practice. He called from New York and told me he could no longer bring his teeth together normally. The pain was more dull than sharp. He experienced pain while chewing on both sides or tearing with his front teeth. The pain was strongest when first clamping down on food, but then lessened with subsequent chewing. He kept getting a dull ache when he pushed the jaw on the right side of the face to the left. Upon opening and closing the mouth he could hear bone rubbing against bone in the left TMJ. When he opened his mouth as wide as possible he sometimes felt the left TMJ catch, occasionally the right also. There was no pain or discomfort in the right joint. Opening the mouth wide to bite on food produced an ache, but doing the same maneuver without food did not. Directly after the initial event, there was a change in his bite. Upon waking in the morning he could close his teeth on the right side so that they met. However, soon after he would not be able to close down on the right side without difficulty, he would only hit on the left. So chewing food on the right side became a problem.
We used the Myotronics K-7 to evaluate his function. Scans showed that his muscles were firing at elevated levels in his temporal (temples) and cervical (neck) group. After 60 minutes of TENS (neuromuscular stimulation) there was improvement but the left cervical group remained elevated. His clench scores remained low, meaning that his muscles were not able to produce the proper amount of force when biting down. His bite was unstable. He had difficulty opening and was able to force himself to open to approximately 37 mm. The Sonography (scan of his joint noises) showed grating and popping noises on both sides. He was placed in a removable orthotic to open up his bite. The I-CAT scan without the orthotic shows boney degeneration.
When I placed my father in a neuromuscular removable orthotic there was little improvement. In fact the pain might have been slightly worse in the left TMJ although he was now in the proper bite. The orthotic had brought him down and forward, but his I-CAT scan revealed a disturbing fact. His joint on the left side was grinding against bone. Could we find a bite position that would relieve his pain within his joint? My father never really complained of muscular pain throughout this experience.
Repeated evaluations with the K-7 system showed that the orthotic was on Myo-trajectory – placing him in the correct bite. This created a dilemma; every Myo-bite taken left him in a bone to bone situation on the left side. We originally began with a removable orthotic to attempt to alleviate his condition. However his bite relationship without the orthotic did not leave him with a functional bite to eat with. We were not making much progress with the removable orthotic anyway. We made the decision to change to a fixed orthotic. We then used a new Myo-bite for Roy's fixed orthotic. As you can see there were extensive degenerative changes now in the left joint as time went on. We can see the joint grinding against bone and the formation of joint mice or calcified bodies and bone fragments floating within the joint space. His opening became even more limited.
It was getting very hard to believe that things were going to get better. Was surgery going to be the only option? Was my father going to have to live with pain and suffering after paying for my education? He was traveling from New York to Colorado once a month for treatment. My father is a research mathematician. His scientific nature leads him to question everything in the minutest detail. He was well aware of my neuromuscular practice and successes with others. The problem had really hit home. The pressure was building. It was time to prove that neuromuscular dentistry was the way to go and was not quackery.
When we looked at his original radiograph things almost looked better before treatment. I had several thoughts about what to do. Should I remove the orthotic and see what happens. Well without the orthotic he was in constant pain with no bite. And he was in pain with the orthotic on Myo-centric trajectory but at least he could chew. I began to think about his dental history, the chronic break down of the left posterior teeth and subsequent crowning one after the other over the years.
The intra-oral signs were there long before his symptoms. There was a loss of vertical dimension (over closure of the bite), occlusal wear of anterior teeth and abfractions, tori (boney growths in his mouth), fractured teeth and deep bite. My father explained that he had chewed ice for years. As a teenager when his wisdom teeth were removed he began chewing almost exclusively on the left side after pain on the right. He continued this habit throughout his life until restored in a neuromuscular bite. The fact that we crowned almost the entire left side as these teeth fractured over the years was interesting. After years of restoring the left side he began fracturing the right side as well. I began placing crowns on the right side, one tooth after another. In August 2006 my father began complaining of pain in tooth number 31. There was a distal fracture extending through the pupil floor to the mesial. I placed a crown on number 31 and sent him home to NY. Shortly after the pain worsened and an endodontist determined the tooth was fractured through the root system. He removed the tooth and placed a bone graft. We placed an implant in the extraction site in August 2007. Now my father had lost his posterior stop on the right side, setting him up for catastrophic failure. One month after the implant was placed with a healing abutment at tissue height my father ate his infamous ham sandwich. The years of gradual loss of posterior vertical dimension first on one side then the other had finally taken their toll. As medical professionals we are told to "do no harm". Well a whole lot of harm was done here over the years… one crown at a time.Perhaps the years of pathologic muscle function combined with the degeneration within his joints was preventing me from finding the ideal functional position. The atrophy of the system was not allowing TENS to correct the X/Y plane. If the torque created by the occlusal breakdown had led to this problem then maybe torquing the occlusion the opposite way might correct him.
On his next trip I decided to alter his orthotic. It seemed to make sense that we needed to torque the left side to rotate the condyle away from the bone. On his next trip we began with one hour of TENS. Then I began adding to the left side. I added a small amount of composite resin to tooth number 19 since it would give me the most secure stop. I checked my measurements and I had indeed increased the vertical on the left side by one millimeter. He was now hitting on both sides … Harder on the left but some on the right. I decided to leave him like that and let his own muscle function do the work. That night he noticed no difference in the pain he was experiencing while eating. I was lucky I could monitor the patient this way. I was able to watch every bite. He seemed like he was opening a little wider while eating. My father grabbed a raw carrot and crunched through it without complaining. I was afraid he was going to fracture the orthotic. The next day we tensed for one hour and began checking the bite. He was now hitting on both sides. With a slight adjustment to the right side and adding a little resin to the cusp tips of his right first bicuspid, he was now hitting evenly again.
Three months later he flew out and we started with new I-CAT scans. The results were amazing. His left condyle had moved dramatically, the joint mice were gone. The K-7 scans showed great improvement in function. He was now able to open wide enough to restore him. He was on Myotrajectory. My father has had no recurrence of pain since adjusting his orthotic by correcting the torque. We then restored to the new position using the LVI protocol for full mouth reconstruction. My father remains pain free. What a difference one millimeter can make.
