It can’t help but catch the eye: a sprawling bluestone structure akin to a castle, a newcomer on a street of gracious old Victorian manors. Boldly seated a stone’s throw from the sidewalk, the mansion beckons passers-by to listen for the music of its fountains, admire its impeccably kept gardens, bend to smell the Russian sage that bows between the bars of its wrought-iron fence, strain for a glimpse beyond the multitude of arched windows.
Homeowners Ron and Michele Riggi have made the most of every square inch of their one-acre property at the corner of Broadway and Greenfield Avenue in the Spa City. Their head-turning homestead boasts 25,000 square feet of under-roof space, including outbuildings.
“You can see most of the gardens from the road,” says Michele. “It’s for everyone to enjoy.” She breezes around her property proudly, smiling contagiously, the vision of a Saratoga socialite in a below-the-knee brown dress with white polka dots, topped with a hat to match. “We make it so beautiful for everyone who comes to visit, the trolleys and the buses. When I’m having events and I have the red carpet out, people run up and take their pictures. It’s so cute,” she says.
The property where the Riggis’ mansion stands once housed two hotels. “They got knocked down and it was vacant land here for years and years,” Michele recounts. She and Ron owned the parcel for 10 or 15 years before deciding to build on it, she estimates. From ground-breaking to completion, the construction process took five years and was finally finished in 2003.
Michele designed the five-bedroom, 11-bath home to include features she found fascinating in the fine hotels she and Ron stay in when they travel. “I would take pictures and ideas from all over the world and bring them home,” she says.
Along with those ideas, Michele also collected treasures, which were carefully crated and shipped home. “I love Asia — Thailand, Vietnam. The handicrafts there are amazing. There’s a lot of the Asian feeling throughout the house,” she says. “I walk through each room and feel like I’m in different parts of the world.”
Michele has a story to go along with each piece: the mosaic vases she flew to Vietnam to find; the urns discovered in the rice paddies of Bali; the leather panels, once decorations in a French palace, which she uncovered in the back of a warehouse.
A GRAND ENTRANCE
A grand staircase with intricate wrought-iron railings welcomes guests to the home’s foyer. The stairs sweep up from both left and right, passing Italian marble statues and prompting visions of Michele descending in a fabulous formal gown.
On the gleaming marble floor below sits a glass table topped with an enormous fresh arrangement of white lilies, plume poppies, ferns and palm leaves. Beneath the table is an inlaid marble medallion, 9 feet in diameter; it’s one of 24 throughout the house, all designed by Michele.
A custom-made wrought iron chandelier hangs from the foyer’s domed ceiling, which is brightened with a breathtaking fresco of the sky. “The whole foyer is done in fresco. It is the most special place in the house for art,” says Michele.
The internationally known painting company Silver Hill Atelier was hired to paint the entire home. Michele rented the painters three apartments in Saratoga, where they lived for two years while they worked on the home’s frescos, faux finishes and gold and copper leafing. “There’s not one bit of wallpaper in this house,” Michele says.
Michele clicks across the marble kitchen floor in gold stiletto heals. “I love country music,” she says, above a background of steel guitars. “Want me to put something softer on?” She taps a touch pad and the music changes to a soothing symphony.
The house is a smart house, she explains. All of the systems — lights, music, security cameras and more are controlled via touch pads situated throughout the home.
“This is my kitchen that we don’t cook in,” Michele announces. “Everybody always wants to be in the kitchen, so you need to have a beautiful kitchen that looks good all the time. I’ve got everything in it, but I’ve never cooked in it because it’s so big.”
A 15-foot-long island of Rosa Verona marble dominates the space. “Marble is my favorite. There is not one piece of granite in this house,” she says. Aware that marble can hold stains, she decided to use it for all of the home’s surfaces and moldings anyway. “You know what, I don’t mind the staining,” she says. “That’s the beauty of the stone. It’s got character, like people. You can’t be perfect all the time.”
Gold leaf is everywhere in the kitchen: shimmering in beveled crevices on the cabinets, accenting the burrowed wood on the ceiling. “There’s so much gold leaf in the house,” says Michele. “Some people might think it’s gaudy, but I just love it. I think it’s the Italian and the French in me.”
The kitchen’s appliances are stainless steel, state-of-the-art. The sink’s backsplash is Jerusalem Stone, cut by water jet into intricate designs. Cabinets with glass fronts reach toward the high ceiling. Two glittering crystal chandeliers hang above the island.
“You’ve got to look at this,” Michele says, opening a small, stainless steel door above the wall oven. “It’s my steamer. I’ve never used it. Isn’t this cool?”
“What would you steam in it?” I ask.
“Fish,” she replies.
“You should try that sometime,” I encourage.
“I know, but then it stinks up the kitchen,” she laments.
We leave that kitchen for the chef’s kitchen. “It’s adorable, isn’t it?” Michele asks. “You just turn around and everything’s there. It makes so much sense for caterers.” Smaller, but equally impressive, this kitchen is a more practical space. Adorned with stainless steel and Carrara marble, it has an Italian feel to it. Both kitchens, notes Michele, were designed by Clive Christian. “The epitome of luxury is having a Clive Christian kitchen. They’re like jewelry,” she says.
A chorus of excited yips emanates from behind a closed door off the larger kitchen. It’s Michele’s 27 little dogs. She swings the door open to allow a peek at her pets, snug in their own suite. The room is compete with a grooming area, a medical table, cushioned window seats and a doggie door that leads to an outdoor dog yard outfitted with little lounge chairs and umbrellas. The canines’ capers can be observed via any of the touch screens or TVs throughout the house.
Michele’s staff includes a nanny to tend to her dogs, and others to help with security and household chores, but she doesn’t have a personal assistant, she notes. “Somebody running around after you, that would drive me crazy. After having four kids and 27 dogs, I think I can do it all,” she says with a laugh.
Beyond the large kitchen is the family room, decorated with what Michele calls an Italian-Asian theme. Stone columns flank the room’s entrances; smaller ones surround the flat-screen TV. A rug from Thailand, teeming with birds, flowers and jungle animals, sets the stage for the rest of the surroundings.
“These are my most prized possessions,” Michele says, lifting the cover off one of two enormous, rich red, cinnabar urns from China that flank one doorway.
A large mosaic of Vietnamese field workers is mounted behind the family room’s ornate bar. The mosaic, Michele notes, is made entirely from eggshells. Two horse figurines from Thailand stand sentry beside the gas fireplace. Huge arched windows, dressed with iron scrollwork, lead out to the veranda and private backyard.
The hall at the top of the grand staircase has Venetian plaster walls flanked with faux-finished columns. It’s bright with gold leaf accents and crystal chandeliers. The turret at the end of the hall holds a table atop which live orchid plants bloom. A floor-to-ceiling fresco transforms a nearby wall into a stone veranda with a view of rolling Italian countryside.
Michele’s favorite space is the upstairs master bedroom suite. A princess bed was specially designed for the sleeping chamber, so 12 of the Riggis’ dogs could sleep along with them. “It’s 9 foot by 9 foot, but I don’t have much space. There’s not one place I can move my legs that there’s not a dog,” Michele says.
The suite includes Michele’s office, where she often does work for local charities. “I am busy, with my fundraising and honorary committees here and there,” she says, noting with pride that she is the president of the National Museum of Dance. Her home, she adds, often serves as a site for events to benefit organizations that involve dance or children.
Upstairs is also a Balinese spa where Michele gets her massages. “People from Thailand came and thatched the roof, and there’s a saltwater tank with fish swimming in there. You walk in and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, I could live in this room forever,’ ” she exclaims.
The staircase to the basement has a custom-made banister; its intertwined wrought-iron tendrils give rise to tropical flowers and figs. The cellar floors are marble, the theme of the space, African. A bowling lane immediately catches the eye, the pins like teeth for the mural of a gaping lion’s mouth that dominates the end wall.
Tucked in an alcove is an ornate bar from an English pub, inlaid with walnut and cherry wood, and three matching wine cabinets, fully stocked. A working antique English phone booth, which Michele repainted and decorated with leopard-print material, stands nearby.
Not far from the bar is a claw-foot gaming table, a row of slot machines and a pool table, its legs the shape of elephants’ heads.
The basement also houses a spacious, fully-equipped fitness center with an attached steam room. “We’re a very athletic family. We work out every day,” says Michele. “To keep up with our social life, going out all the time and eating and drinking, we have to keep everything balanced.”
Large windows in the fitness room let in lots of natural light. “I hate to feel like I’m in a gym inside a building where you can’t see anything,” says Michele. Including windows in the subterranean space meant first building a limestone retaining wall several feet from the foundation, a costly project. “My husband was not too happy about that,” Michele admits.
The basement bathroom is as luxurious as any of those upstairs. It has walls faux-finished to look like red onyx and is lit by chandelier.
Twin leopard statues guard the door to the home theater, also in the basement. It looks like a miniature of an old movie house, with a burrowed wood ceiling and gold leaf accents. Twelve red velvet recliners and one doggie-size easy chair sit in descending rows, facing a red velvet curtain that hides a 10-by-15-foot screen. There’s even a snack bar, “with real, live candy!” Michele exclaims playfully. And sure enough, every snack bar standard is there, from Raisinets to Junior Mints, and there’s a popcorn machine, too. “What’s your favorite candy?” Michele asks. “Reeses Pieces,” I reply. “Then you must take a box home,” she insists, sliding back the glass display panel.
As an afterthought, Michele had a pedicure station and tanning machine installed in the basement’s boiler room. “Every inch of this house I used,” she says.
Every inch of the yard was put to use as well. The marble veranda off the family room includes a full outdoor kitchen and a seating area with a built-in gas fire pit. Steps lead down to a modest stretch of verdant lawn, an Italian fountain and gardens of lilies and coleus. Iron greyhound statues sit here and there. “They’re protecting my Chihuahuas,” Michele jokes. “I plan on getting one for every dog and putting them around the property.”
Tucked in one corner of the yard is a pool and hot tub, encircled by statues from Italy. Adjacent urns spout water by day and flames by night.
Seventeen enormous white, onyx and orange koi fish meander beneath the lily pads in the backyard koi pond. Michele points out certain ones by name: Moby Dick, Goldie, Sir Winston.
The pond is spanned by a walkway that leads to a spacious outdoor pavilion. Open to the yard on two sides, it has a soaring cathedral ceiling held up by antique beams. The space is furnished with furniture from Thailand and massive mosaic vases from Vietnam. A large flat-screen TV hides behind a painting of a blue heron. “My husband loves to come out here and watch his Yankees. He’s out here all the time,” says Michele.
Surveying her property, she insists she’d never change a thing. “I love it to death,” she says, but then admits she would like the yard to be a bit bigger. “I would like to have more gardens and more eating area outside and just more to be able to enjoy. It’s so beautiful. I would really like to elaborate more on it.”
Someday, she’d like to own a property where there’s room for an aviary and maybe a little chapel. But for now, she’s happy to stay put and enjoy what she has. After all, there’s no more need to travel to stay someplace fabulous. “I want to be home because home is beautiful,” she says. “Who wants to go away when you live like this?”

Were an Alzheimer's disease–modifying therapy to become available, there would be a substantial number of existing patients with mild cognitive impairment who would require screening, diagnosis, and treatment as quickly as possible. This research analyzes the preparedness of the health care systems in six European countries to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment of patients if an Alzheimer's therapy becomes available.
Published Sep 30, 2018
No disease-modifying therapy is currently available for Alzheimer's disease, but therapies are in development, and one may become available in the near future. Based on results from early-stage clinical trials, therapeutic development has focused on the hypothesis that Alzheimer's dementia must be prevented rather than cured, because candidate treatments have not been able to reverse the course of dementia. Thus, current trials target patients with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. Were a therapy to become available, patients could undergo first screening for signs of early-stage memory loss or mild cognitive impairment (MCI), testing for the Alzheimer's disease pathology, and then treatment with the aim of halting or slowing progression to Alzheimer's dementia. An important health systems challenge will arise if this new treatment paradigm bears out in late-stage clinical trials. In the 28 European Union countries, we estimate that approximately 20 million individuals over age 55 have MCI, although most people have not been tested for disease pathology. Thus, when a therapy first becomes available, there would be a substantial number of existing (or prevalent) MCI patients who would require screening, diagnosis, and then treatment as quickly as possible to prevent the progression to full-blown Alzheimer's dementia. This research analyzes the preparedness of the health care systems in six European countries — France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom — to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment of patients if a disease-modifying therapy for Alzheimer's becomes available.

Stood in front of a black wall, Liz decided to ditch the lingerie as she let her chest reign supreme in the seriously sexy shot.
With her pert assets commanding all the attention, the blonde beauty gave fans a glimpse of her plunging cleavage.
Playfully hiding her modesty, Liz covered up by draping a sequin blazer across her shoulders.
Adding some much-needed glamour to the microscopic outfit, she finished the looked with an eye-catching silver necklace that delicately fell above her bosom.
Underneath the titillating picture, she penned: "House decorated, guests have arrived, cupboards bulging with food."
However, not many were interested in Liz's turkey cooking know-how and instead fawned over the bombshell's age-defying appearance.
One playfully wrote: "You serving Xmas dinner dressed like that?'
"Sexiest woman ever," a second gushed.
While a third put: "You dress like this for guests?"

Hey Y’all! Marji here with a way to save BIG money on laundry soap. I have been using this homemade laundry soap for a year and I LOVE it! I learned how to make it at a church meeting. The person who taught us got the recipe from the Duggars (the family with 19 kids)! One batch of it has lasted me a whole year, that is almost $200 in savings for my family. We were going through a large thing of laundry soap a month. With 4 little kids we do lots of laundry and have lots of dirt and stains. This soap is awesome!! We have a HE machine and it works great in it and you use less than in a top loading machine.
Here is what you need to make it:
- 1 bar Fels-Naptha Soap (other options Ivory for sensitive skin or Pink Zote)
- 1/2 cup Borax
- 1 cup Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda (NOT baking soda!)
- 5 gallon bucket and lid
I found all the ingredients at my local Kroger Store. I have also seen borax and the washing soda at Wal-Mart. I bought them a year ago and don’t remember the total cost for all 3, but I’m pretty sure it was under $6 for everything and you will get multiple batches from the borax and washing soda. They sell them all on Amazon, but they are cheaper at your local store. Here is how you make it:
grate bar of soap and add to saucepan with 4 cups of water.
Stir continually over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted
Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full of hot tap water, I have a nice big kitchen sink that it fit in, if you don’t have a big enough sink, use your bathtub.
Add melted soap
Stir well until all the powder is dissolved.
Fill bucket to top with more hot water. Stir, cover and let sit overnight to thicken.
After it has thickened overnight you can put it in the dispenser of your choice. It is very thick and gel like, use a big spoon to stir it. I use a measuring cup and funnel to put equal parts of soap and hot water into the old detergent bottle, shake it up and you are ready to go!
-Yield: Liquid soap recipe makes 10 gallons.
-Top Load Machine- 5/8 Cup per load (Approx. 180 loads)
-Front Load Machines- ¼ Cup per load (Approx. 640 loads)
Here’s the recipe all together:
Homemade Laundry Soap
Grate bar of soap and add to saucepan with water. Stir continually over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted.
Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full of hot tap water. Add melted soap, washing soda and Borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. Fill bucket to top with more hot water. Stir, cover and let sit overnight to thicken.
Stir and fill a used, clean, laundry soap dispenser half full with soap and then fill rest of way with water. Shake before each use. (will gel)
Yield: Liquid soap recipe makes 10 gallons.
Top Load Machine- 5/8 Cup per load (Approx. 180 loads)
Front Load Machines- ¼ Cup per load (Approx. 640 loads)l
Try it and you’ll love it! It smells really good, but doesn’t leave a scent on your clothes. You can add essential oils to the soap after it is cooled, but I haven’t tried that so I’m not much help there. I have used Downy Unstopables for linens and other things that I enjoy a good scent on. I hope you enjoy saving so much money on laundry soap as I do!
Here is an adorable jar to put it all in:
See how I make homemade fabric softener!

Martin Lewis grills Rishi Sunak over SEISS timetable
For several months, many self-employed people were hopeful the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) eligibility criteria would change for SEISS grant four. Directors of companies and the newly self-employed are among many self-employed people who have not been eligible for any of the previous SEISS grants to date. After several months of wondering whether more people could benefit from SEISS this year, Rishi Sunak finally announced a number of changes for SEISS grant four in his Budget announcement this month. Read on to find out more about the eligibility criteria for the scheme’s next grant.
Who is now eligible for SEISS grant four?
Prior to the Chancellor’s Budget announcement, many were hopeful the SEISS eligibility criteria would change to include the newly-self employed, who previously missed out on grants one to three.
To the delight of many, the Chancellor announced in the Budget people who submitted their tax returns for 2019 to 2020 by March 2 will now be eligible for SEISS grant four.
This means an estimated 600,000 newly self-employed people will now be eligible to claim the fourth SEISS grant.
Tommy McNally, tax expert and founder of TommysTax.com, told Express.co.uk: “Self-employed workers who’d so far been unable to claim any Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) grants may have more luck with the fourth instalment, as its eligibility criteria will accept those who filed 2019 to 2020 tax returns by midnight on March 2, 2021.
“This means the estimated 600,000 newly self-employed workers who hadn’t been in business long enough to claim the previous grants may now be able to claim.”
SEISS: Are YOU one of 600,000 people now eligible for SEISS grant 4? Eligibility explained
What is the eligibility criteria for SEISS grant four?
Further details on SEISS grant four are expected in due course, but the Government website currently includes some details on who will be eligible for the grant.
Self-employed individuals and members of partnerships are still eligible to claim SEISS grant four.
To claim the grant, a person’s trading profits must be no more than £50,000 and must be at least equal to their non-trading income.
To claim SEISS grant four, self-employed claimants need to have traded in the 2019 to 2020 and the 2020 to 2021 tax years.
Claimants need to have submitted their tax return for the 2019 to 2020 tax year by March 2, 2021, to qualify for the fourth grant.
The SEISS website also states claimants must be “currently trading but are impacted by reduced demand due to coronavirus” or “have been trading but are temporarily unable to do so due to coronavirus” to claim the fourth grant.
When making a claim for the SEISS grant, the application requires the claimant to declare they intend to continue trading.

SEISS: Rishi Sunak's numbers doubted as ExcludedUK dub them unjust [INTERVIEW]
Claimants must also declare they “reasonably believe” there will be a “significant reduction” in trading profits, due to “reduced business activity, capacity, demand or inability to trade due to coronavirus”.
Although the eligibility criteria for SEISS grant four has now been widened, several self-employed people will still not be eligible for the scheme.
Tom Moyes, a partner in the employment team at Blacks Solicitors, told Express.co.uk: “The previous schemes have only been eligible to individuals who met certain criteria.
“They have been criticised for failing to assist those who became self-employed after April 5, 2019.
“The fourth grant is now open for individuals who became self-employed during the 2019 to 2020 tax year.
“Other than this, the eligibility criteria is the same. Trading profits must be no more than £50,000.00.
“The individual must be currently trading but be impacted by reduced turnover due to the Covid-19 pandemic, or the individual must be temporarily unable to trade due to the pandemic.
“The individual must declare that they intend to continue trading and that they reasonably believe there will be a significant reduction in the trading profits due to the pandemic. HMRC will directly contact eligible individuals.”

I can’t help but feel sold out by the constant zoning changes and development approvals granted by the Pacifica Planning Commission. It seems as if we the people of Pacifica vote for the most anti-development candidates on the ballot, yet time after time, more development is approved and our quality of life is sold out. Please remember that we the people of Pacifica vote. We do not owe these developers anything, especially not our quality of life. If they speculate and buy property in this community, it’s their risk.
As far as votes go, what happened to the slogan "Keep Our Hillsides Green”? It was successful, right? Don Peebles' Measure L was defeated, too. Voting patterns seem to show that we the people of Pacifica do not want to live in a place that looks like Los Angeles, with traffic everywhere, big cement developments, and no nature. Another Fassler development was approved, piggybacked on Harmony @1. The quarry just sold to another developer (from Michigan, according to the Tribune). I wonder what he’ll plan.
If we the people of Pacifica don’t start to defend our quality of life, we’ll soon have to suffer the consequences of more traffic and more stress. I doubt we’ll be walking our dogs in the McMansion neighborhood. Not to mention our wildlife that’s being bulldozed and starved. Has anyone seen the hawks lately that used to perch on the lamppost on Fassler? I guess they’ll eventually leave.
Those people who say it’s good for business are missing the point that there is never enough money, no matter if we bulldoze, cement, and kill the last bit of nature we have in our community.

Former President Donald Trump aide Kellyanne Conway was booed and clashed with a host for dodging questions during her appearance on ‘The View’.
Ms Conway, who infamously called the lies “alternative facts”, had a falling out with another former Trump employee, Alyssa Farah Griffin. Ms Griffin served as the administration’s spokeswoman for the Pentagon and was the former assistant to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
Ms. Griffin asked Ms. Conway why she had supported Mr. Trump for so long, prompting Ms. Conway to shoot Ms. Griffin and Mr. Meadows. The two began talking to each other, which then prompted fellow The View panelists to accuse Ms Conway of dodging the question.
Eventually, Ms. Conway accused Ms. Griffin of “changing”, but Ms. Griffin insisted she never changed and was sworn to the Constitution, not Mr. Trump. She went on to say that Ms. Conway still supported Mrs. Trump even after the Capitol riot and her fraudulent claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
This prompted Ms Conway to accuse Ms Griffin of seeking fame, not changing her political ideology.
“Alyssa, if you’re saying that somehow you think we’re supposed to think you saw the light, and not just saw your name in the lights, that’s not fair,” she said. said Ms. Conway.
Ms Griffin hit back, calling the comment a ‘cheap jab’ and accusing him of ‘not answering the question’.
Ms Conway was eventually booed by the crowd, which panelist Whoopi Goldberg condemned. Ms. Goldberg then threatens to end the entire segment. Ms Conway claimed the crowd was booing Joe Biden for giving coronavirus updates from his basement.
At one point during the row, Ms Conway was asked why Mr Trump never said ‘don’t hang my vice president’, a reference to Capitol rioters who erected a gallows outside of the Capitol and called Vice President Mike Pence a traitor.
“Of course for four years we had a lot better in this country, we had energy independence, we had no inflation,” she replied, dodging the question.

Shute Shield: Digby ready to step up for Beasties against Souths, Uni’s tough task v Wildfires
By MARK CASHMAN
By the time we get to this time of the year most Shute Shield coaches just want to get on with the season, play for some competition points and see where they are at.
That’s very much the case for Eastern Suburbs coach Pauli Taumoepeau as he puts the finishing touches to his side for the match of the round against Southern Districts at Woollahra Oval on Saturday.
But Taumoepeau is particularly interested in seeing the continued development of his new skipper, lock Jack Digby.
“Jack has been our leader right throughout this pre-season even before any thought went into who’ll step in for Jack Grant whilst he’s on Super Rugby duties,” Taumoepeau told Rugby News.

With a packed work schedule and the recent announcement of her Pitch Perfect 3 reprisal, Anna Kendrick seems to have no time for a vacation.
But luckily for the 36-year-old leading lady, her latest job allows for work and play in one dreamy destination.On Tuesday, the Oscar nominated actress was pictured filming a scene from her upcoming comedy Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates on a beach in Oahu, Hawaii dressed in only a bikini and high-waisted shorts.
Anna splashed around in the waters donning a black and white striped bikini top paired with denim shorts. The star donned her character Alice’s hairstyle of full bangs and curled pigtails and wore minimal makeup on her flawless complexion.
She showed off her toned physique and impressive abs while shooting a beach scene and dancing with co-star Aubrey Plaza.
The Parks And Recreation alum was dressed in a patterned halter swimsuit and matching bottoms also showcasing her petite frame.While Anna and Aubrey have tag teamed for both on and off-screen adventures, their co-stars Zac Efron and Adam DeVine have also been spotted hanging loose in what appears to be a new bromance.
In Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates Anna’s co-stars Zac and Adam play brothers who buy an ad to get wedding dates.

The third 4NCL weekend of the year on 27th/28th March in West Bromwich never looked like being at all straightforward for the Oxford teams.
We had known well in advance that the team’s Mr. Reliable, Aidan Rawlinson, would be missing for this weekend. And with the draw seeing Oxford 1 pitted against second placed Brown Jack and the dangerous Poisoned Pawns, the search was on for the extra strength which would see the promotion bid stay on track. Meanwhile, Oxford 2 also needed a strong team, particulalrly for their tough Saturday match against Cheddleton. However, finding a replacement for Aidan proved trickier than expected as a succession of strong candidates declared themselves keen to play in principle, but unavailable for this particular weekend. Eventually it was decided that we would stick with much the same squad as had played so well on previous weekends, with the under-rated Chris Duggan promoted to the first team for Saturday and Cowley’s formidable Gerard O’Reilly making his season’s debut on the Sunday. The second team was filled out by two more debutants, the solid Kevin Henbest and the exciting 1 b4 player Matt Read.
Before the chess could begin, there were a couple more hurdles yet to clear. Firstly, a combination of late booking from your esteemed captain and incompetence from the staff at the Moat House led to an accommodation crisis. For a while, we faced a stark choice between some extortionately priced Moat House ‘Crown’ rooms and Chris Duggan’s offer to bring his tent. But ultimately the team rallied round and Ben Savage managed to save the day by locating some decent quality rooms at the local Travel Inn for only slightly more than we should have been paying at the Moat House.
Then, just when all seemed to be finally on track, transport problems began to set in, as Kevin spent a fruitless hour waiting outside 66 Great Clarendon Street, only to discover that Kieran lives at 66 Cardigan Street, a few metres away in the heart of Jericho. Eventually a meeting was achieved at the railway station, by which time panic was setting in at the Alternative Tuck Shop where it seemed that Ian and Sean were both waiting for each other in a space a few metres square without actually managing to locate one another. A race to the venue ensued with Ian making it a comfortable 15 minutes before kick-off and Kevin and his charges rolling in at a slightly less comfortable 1.59pm.
Oxford 2 did thus eventually get six men to the board on time, but still found themselves massive under-dogs against a Cheddleton outfit who out-rated them by between 30 and 50 BCF points on each board. As had seemed likely since his recruitment, the early excitement centred around board 5 where Matt Read confidently whipped out 1 b4 to the delight of the crowd. And it proved no futile gesture as Matt got a very decent position in the early stages. Indeed the Oxford boys generally got off to a solid start with Sean on board 3 and Pete on board 4 both achieving small plusses and Ian on board 1 not shying away from his usual pawn sacrificing strategy despite facing an opponent rated over 200BCF. Gradually, though, proven class began to show as Kevin on board 6, having played a respectable Najdorf and Matt Ludbrook on board 2 in a Benoni were slowly outplayed. And the fatal blow came when Matt Read’s sterling effort was snuffed out by first the loss of a pawn, and then the game. There never seemed likely to be a way back from 3-0 down, though Ian was still scrapping for his life and Pete had twice had draw offers turned down from a position of strength. When Pete finally did have a third draw offer accepted, he was almost certainly winning, but the psychology of facing an opponent rated 50BCF points higher than yourself can be tough to overcome. And with Ian’s defeat soon confirmed, the match result was already set in stone. Sean also slipped to defeat having missed winning chances in a tense middlegame, leaving the final score at 5.5-0.5. It was, however, a far tighter match than the scoreline would suggest.
Oxford 1, as previously described minus Aidan’s solidity, were a little lucky that their opponents Brown Jack were also missing a couple of big names, with Richard Haydon ill and Tim Headlong on baby-sitting duty. But they still had sufficient strength in depth to present a tough challenge, especially so when Oxford’s star of previous weekends, Ben Savage, blundered in the early stages against the dangerous David Bareham. Tight games were ensuing elsewhere as James Coleman boasted a superb knight on top board, Kemal won a piece for several pawns on board 2 and Kieran found himself battling back after getting the worse of the opening against Jonathan Bourne. Dan’s opponent on board 5 set out intent on a draw and for all Dan’s valiant efforts to enliven the position, ultimately achieved his aim, while Chris on board 6 got a good early position with plenty of attacking chances. It was around the first time scramble that the match really began to take shape. James’ opponent managed to muster a winning attack, while Kieran hit back for Oxford, picking up a much needed full point with a nice tactic. Kemal, meanwhile, was having a wild tactical fest against Jane Richmond. He first had to give back his extra piece to stop his opponent’s marauding pawns and eventually found his way out of the time scramble with two pieces and a pawn for a rook. Which a few moves down the line was sufficient to level the match at 2.5-2.5. All eyes turned to Chris Duggan who was by now desperately defending a rook ending from a pawn down. However, he was not without chances and gave his opponent plenty of opportunities to blunder in a fascinating and trappy position. The tension mounted in the bar as everyone desperately tried to spot ways in which Chris could hold or even win. With every dash back to the playing hall to check the position, he always seemed to have found the right moves and his opponent kept dodging the traps. And with the night fast drawing in, Chris was eventually forced to give best after a truly titanic struggle. So a first defeat of the season for Oxford 1, though going down 3.5-2.5 against arguably the toughest opponents in the league was by no means an awful performance.
Having booked in at the Travel Inn, we all made our way to the bargain-priced Wetherspoon’s discovered at the previous weekend for an evening of quality food and drink. Ben and James once again led the way in the eating stakes, Ben comfortably seeing off two full meals, with James coming up just a few mouthfuls short of matching his achievement. Pete and Kieran meanwhile were more than happy to settle for chips, beans and sausages for £2.50. Now that’s what I call value for money. The evening ended with glasses raised to James’ five years of marriage after which everyone adjourned to Ben’s room to ponder on the day’s events and brace ourselves for another vital round of matches.
On Sunday, Oxford 2 were once again boosted by the arrival of Ray Starkie, Dave Bruce and Will Burt and by considerably lower rated opposition than on the previous day. However, Sussex Mindsports, a team made up predominantly of under-rated juniors are never to be under-estimated, and so it proved. For the second successive 4NCL weekend, Matt Ludbrook did not find his Sunday game over-strenuous, once again having things pretty much wrapped up within 15 moves. As it turned out, we were to be most grateful for the comfortable start as other games looked far from straightforward. Ian’s opponent on board 5 blundered a piece for a pawn in the early stages, but then seemed to somewhat stumble into a tremendous attacking position. Chris on board 4 went a pawn up, but found it hard to convert this to a clearly winning advantage against an opponent who didn’t seem to feel the need to think for more than a minute on any given move. And Ray and Will’s positions looked no better than level. At least Dave on board 2 always seemed to be developing a fine attacking set-up, which he converted into the full point with a spectacular kingside assault. Tough though it was proving, we did gradually seem to be edging towards a won match. Chris eventually sealed a win, though the speed and accuracy with which his opponent negotiated some pretty tough complications was truly remarkable. Aside from time spent away from the board, he thought for little more than 15 minutes during the whole game. Ray’s game turned rather uncharacteristically crazy, but he had enough in hand to secure the draw with a neat perpetual. And Ian somehow found his way into a queen and bishop against queen ending which he rather optimistically tried to win before settling for the half. All of which meant that Will’s loss in a rook ending having previously turned down six draw offers did not affect the final result – 4-2 to Oxford 2.
Oxford 1 badly needed to steady the ship against Poisoned Pawns, which was never likely to be a formality against yet another tough batch of opponents. The match was uneventful in the early stages, with Kieran securing a draw from a slightly worse position and other games getting off to a sedate start. But by the first time control, events took a dramatic turn for the worse. James lost after blundering in the scramble, while Ben’s position on board 1 was looking pretty desperate and debutant Gerard was two pawns down on board 5. The only real glimmer of light was on board 6 where Dan seemed to hold at least a small advantage in the form of a dangerous looking passed pawn. It was to be a day when every half point had to be ferociously battled for. Things were to get worse before they got better as Dan’s advantage began to slip away – though it was later pointed out by the Arbiter that 31 … Be3 would have secured a win for him. And Ben found himself still struggling to hold the draw even after his opponent blundered a whole knight. It seemed for a while that all the hard work of the two previous weekends was to be in vain, but the Oxford boys are nothing if not fighters and this was the day to fight in adversity. Gerard managed to generate sufficient play to hold the draw and Ben was relieved to find a perpetual to seal a vital half point on top board. Dan’s up-and-down struggle ended with the spoils shared, leaving the match score at 2-3. All rested on Kemal’s board which had been looking pretty level throughout and was now down to a rook ending which looked very tough to win. But win he had to do and Kemal found a superb way to secure the full point, sacrificing a pawn for a winning position which he converted perfectly. So 3-3 and disaster averted.
In fact, despite what was relatively speaking a poor weekend, Oxford 1 on 9/12 find themselves only one point behind the division leaders and still very much in the promotion hunt. But they are in the heart of a pack of strong challengers and will badly need victories against Cambridge and Cheddleton next weekend to remain confident of promotion going into the final weekend. Oxford 2 sit just behind the main pack on 6/12, but are still within range of a finish well in the top half of the table if they play well next weekend. And they could yet play a vital role in the promotion race by taking points off Oxford 1’s main challengers. And man of the weekend? Well there were many battling draws in adversity from the likes of Dan, Gerard and Pete, and a solid 1.5/2 from Kieran. But without doubt, this weekend’s star man was Kemal whose two fine victories on board 2 for the firsts went a very long way towards keeping Oxford 1 in the promotion hunt. Roll on the end of May and the chance to set the table to rights…

Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted to make meat loaf or fried chicken cutlets but didn't have any bread crumbs on hand? Before you give up on those dinner dreams, check your pantry. There are plenty of substitutions you likely already have on hand that work just as well. Plus, it's a good excuse to do a little experimenting and/or pantry cleaning.
Give these ingredients a try next time you run out of bread crumbs (or even when you just want to mix things up).
① Nuts and Seeds
Almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, and chia and flax seeds are all suitable replacements for bread crumbs. And the food processor is your best option to transform them into a powdery consistency. Nut flours burn quicker than bread crumbs, so keep an eye on dinner while it's cooking.
Growing up, my mom used Ritz crackers as the stuffing for baked shrimp, so don't be afraid to throw a few crackers into your next baked cod or meat loaf. Crush them in a plastic bag or blitz them in the food processor, and never look back.
Turn those salty snacks into your new favorite breading by pulsing them in the food processor or crushing them up in a large Ziploc bag. These work particularly well in pretzel-crusted fried shrimp and pretzel-crusted chicken bites. Mustard optional.
Use a rolling pin, throw some of those pretzels in a plastic bag and crush 'em up. The salty crunch is the perfect chicken coating and when served on top of creamy zucchini noodles, it's a pretty well-balanced dinner everyone will love. #chickenrecipes #pretzelrecipes #crustedchicken #zoodles #dinnerideas
Potato chips are one of the most underused snacks in the kitchen when it comes to cooking. They're crispy, salty and provide the perfect amount of crunch. You can also play around with flavors, because who doesn't want pickle-flavored chip-crusted chicken tenders? Lightly crush them in a sealed bag or toss them in the food processor.
Quinoa lends a fun texture to chicken when used as a breading and is a great binding ingredient for recipes such as meat loaf, meatballs and crab cakes. Make sure to cook the quinoa first according to its package's directions.
So in ��� with this healthy Quinoa Crusted Chicken Sticks & honey mustard sauce. Recipe from the lovely @thedomesticgeek1 , substituting all-purpose with chickpea flour for a healthier protein kick �. Weekend is EN ROUTE ��� . . . #healthydinner #crustedchicken #quinoa #chickenbreast #chickenrecipes #gezondeten #lekkereten #weeknightcooking #healthyeats #food4fitness #healthyrecipes #bbgeats #bbgfood #tiumeals #tiugirls #healthyeveryday #thekitchn #deliciouseveryday #beautifulcuisines #food2fit #eeeeeats #cookit #f52grams #workoutfood #homechef #huffposttaste #fitlife #feedfeed #tastingtable
Sure, cereal is great for breakfast, but it's time to take the staple from bowl to plate. Choose a cereal that's not too sweet, like Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies or Rice Chex. Throw it in the food processor or crush it up in a plastic bag, and use them to make cornflake-crusted halibut.
⑦ Shredded Coconut
Using unsweetened shredded coconut to coat chicken and fish adds texture and a hint of sweetness to dishes. You can use the shredded coconut as is, or you can crush it up into smaller pieces in a food processor or with a knife.

How to master your own music – the basics Can you master your own music ? Ian Shepherd I’ve worked as a professional mastering engineer for over 15 years now, and my honest opinion is that with the technology available now, the answer is “Yes”. Of course, as a mastering engineer I’d always recommend you take your music to a pro ! But I also realise that you may not want to – perhaps you want to learn how to master yourself, you may not have the budget for mastering – or maybe you even want to learn how to be a mastering engineer yourself.
Vespers Sometimes the most rewarding production tricks or techniques are the simplest ones. Certainly they are often the ones that yield the most “happy accidents,” the term I use for when experimentation yields something that rocks. Over the next while, I’m going to go through some of my go-to tricks for inspiration from unlikely sources – the often overlooked, sometimes misunderstood, always unappreciated devices in Live’s catalog. Today we’re going to kick it off with a not-so-common use of the Live’s Gate. This little guy right here: Everyone (or rather MOST people) know about Live’s sidechain input on its compressor.
Longform candid interviews with music producers and audio engineers covering mixing, mastering, recording and music production. For the past two years, I've been looking for the perfect home-studio mixer. I've been through three or four of them, each inadequate for various reasons, and sold them all. The mixer of my dreams has between 8 and 16 channels, and an interface featuring between 8 and 16 FireWire inputs and outputs. It has excellent preamps on each channel, EQ that doesn't sound like crap, and simple per-track mono compression on each channel. It's easy to track through and equally easy to mix on-or at least to send some stems to for a bit of EQ and compression. About a year ago, at the height of my mixer mania, I came across an online discussion about the Yamaha n12.

An equal-loudness contour is a measure of sound pressure (dB SPL), over the frequency spectrum, for which a listener perceives a constant loudness when presented with pure steady tones. The unit of measurement for loudness levels is the phon, and is arrived at by reference to equal-loudness contours. By definition, two sine waves of differing frequencies are said to have equal-loudness level measured in phons if they are perceived as equally loud by the average young person without significant hearing impairment.
