There is quite a bit of controversy over the notion of building a stronger brain via brain exercises (such as crossword puzzles and online brain training games). This month's tips will shed some clarity on this topic.
A history of regular mental challenges (ie college education and employment) and continued mental engagement (ie volunteering, social activities, part time jobs, ect) all significantly reduce the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease. These all help to build up "Cognitive Reserve." Cognitive Reserve is the accumulation of connections in the brain that allows the mind to resist damage to the brain.
The brain, just like all other tissues in the body will experience some degree of degeneration as we age. Previously, it was thought that a brain with significant degeneration will have some degree of dementia. Eventually, scientists began to notice, that some people who had severely degenerated brains were as sharp as a whistle up until the day they died. These people whose brains were degenerated, yet were still functioning very well, all had one thing in common, an extensive history of regular cognitive engagement.
Large scale research1 and consensus amongst multiple organizations/specialists in the field of dementia all agree that regular cognitive engagement is a good thing for the brain. What is not agreed upon is if any individual brain exercises convey greater benefits than another. The short answer to this question is "no." There are not any particular brain exercises (such as playing Bridge) that are inherently superior to other forms of mental exercise. However, it does appear that engaging in novel mental exercises activates much more of the brain than doing activities we've done plenty of times before. This doesn't mean you should stop doing the things you enjoy, just to remember that your opportunity to create more connections in your brain lies in doing something new.
As always, first and foremost, remember to consider what the greatest opportunity is for the enhancement of your brain. Eating a better diet, exercising more, or sleeping more may offer greater benefits to your brain than a new mental exercise. Figure out what's best for your brain and make it happen!

You can order the LaserSniper or any of the LaserSniper Shooting Simulators online at our webshop.Order now!
The most classic of shooting simulator games. Targets pop up and it is your task to shoot them all. The closer to the center, the more points. Check out the high score before you start, that is the thing you want to beat.
A nice hunting twist to the LaserSniper. The animals are walking around the forest, waiting to be shot by you. Can you hit them? Don't shoot too fast though, you don't want to hit your colleague hunters who are also walking around. Guess what's on for dinner tonight.
The classic British sport. Shoot the clay from mid-air or see it shamelessly fall on the ground. Experience how the British nobles are playing this sport for decades. British moustache is not included. :)
The best wild-west shooting simulator. Hit the rogue cowboys and not the damsels in distress. Unless of course you want to loose points quicker than your shadow. Don't forget to reload your Wild West six-shooter when it is empty or be too late.
Five shots, two moving targets. You have to aim carefully and shoot them, taking into account that the targets moving around. Hit as close to the center as possible and you receive more points. The farther the targets are away the more difficult it gets and the more points you are able to receive.
Be Phil Taylor, world champion of Darts and dart like a pro at LaserDarts. Try to go for a 9-darter. If you increase the difficulty, the dartboard will be much more difficult to hit. Game on!!
Hunting game in which the player must shoot the flying ducks. Three difficulty levels can be selected to control the speed of the game and ducks...
Forget 'Pong', LaserTennis is equally awesome and fully applicable to the 21st century. Play with two players and hit the tennis ball back at your opponent. The longer the ball is in the play, the faster and more difficult it gets. Who can score the most points?
Accuracy is what matters. There are multiple targets for you to shoot at. Aim carefully but equally fast otherwise the targets are replaced with new targets. If you do not only hit one target but all of them, you can prepare for the special last target...
This game is all about your decision speed. Will you shoot the target or not? If you hit the target you earn points. If you decide not to shoot you will receive a point deduction. Where is the catch? Oh yeah. Shoot and miss a target and it is game over...
In the old American game 'Hit the can' you have to try to keep the cans in the air. This sounds much easier than it actually is. Beat Newton and keep the cans in the air. Put the same cowboy hat on you put on at the Saloon Shootout and experience the Wild West for yourself.
This game is awesome, especially for children. The fish are swimming and playing around when suddenly crabs come around. Scare the crabs away by aiming at them. The quicker you scare them away the more points you earn. Unless the crabs are not only scaring the fish...
Pick the game you want to play and shoot at the screen to get started. You don't even need a mouse or keyboard for it, simply shoot and play. All LaserSniper games can also be started by starting their application directly.
Track and trace statistics, turn off games you do not want to use or turn on games you specifically want to offer to your clients. Complete control and insight on statistics with the LaserSniper game admin!

We were invited to a Christian Academy to help with the curriculum delivery. We had a good time with the teachers and feel that there is a good deal that we can do to provide resources for them. There is a need for printed materials of the graphic stories that we have as well as a Bible Exhibition. We visited a church on the Sunday morning where 3,000 people were gathered. We then set off on a 3 hour journey to a church in the mountains. The evening service was well attended and a group stayed behind for a teaching session on chronological Bible teaching and sharing the resources that we have developed. The graphics that Graham Kennedy has produced were very clearly seen as an excellent resource that they could use as was the Bible Exhibition - the 'Life of Jesus'. We are now working on getting materials ready for translation into Spanish and the display kit for the exhibition. If you would like further information on these projects, please get in touch with Jem.

We had a lovely trip on Monday with 'Sew What?', our regular women's group. Kendal's Abbot Hall art gallery had invited us to see the Monet painting 'Haystacks: Snow Effect' which is on display there for the next two months – for free!
As part of an outreach Lakeland Arts project with Shannon, we sewed collages in the gallery inspired by the paintings and became a pop-up piece of inspirational performance art ourselves. Vistors to the gallery wandered among us and we topped it off with coffee and brownies.
Watch out for more monthly interactive sewing projects at the gallery coming up this spring.

February is in the air, which means a month of thinking about the heart and love, especially on Feb 14th. Valentine's Day leads nicely into the American Heart Association's Heart Month, where cardiovascular diseases are brought to our attention again. Most of you know someone who has had a heart attack or stroke, thus it is understandable why cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the US. According to the CDC, "one in every three deaths is from heart disease and stroke, equal to 2,200 deaths per day." Cardiovascular disease is also debilitating, and thus prevents people from working or enjoying life.
In 2011 the Department of Health and Human Services along with the CDC, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services started a public-private partnership to reduce cardiovascular disease. "Million Hearts™ is a national initiative that aims to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes in the U.S. over the next five years."
The goals of Million Hearts from the CDC website include:
Empowering Americans to make healthy choices such as avoiding tobacco use and reducing the amount of sodium and trans fat they eat. These changes will reduce the number of people who need medical treatment for high blood pressure or cholesterol-and ultimately prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Improving care for people who do need treatment by encouraging a focus on the "ABCS"-Aspirin for people at risk, Blood pressure control, Cholesterol management, and Smoking cessation-four steps to address the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease and help to prevent heart attacks and strokes.
What does this mean for you and your family?
- It means becoming active, moving your body for at least 30 minutes a day, so that you exercise your heart, which is a muscle.
- It means knowing your numbers, understanding your Cholesterol labs, CRP levels, and any other labs that your doctor thinks are important for your case.
- It means knowing your ABCS -
"Ask your doctor if you should take an Aspirin every day.
Find out if you have high Blood pressure or Cholesterol, and if you do, get effective treatment.
If you Smoke, get help to quit."
- It means looking at your Diet Choices - choosing a diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables. While being low in trans fats and processed foods, thus eating a whole foods based diet.
- It means checking in with your doctor about anything that seems off regarding your health.
- It means sharing this information with the people that matter most to you.

- For other uses, see Deneva.
The Deneva-class was a type of light transport starship in service to the Federation Starfleet in the 24th century. The class first entered service in 2318, and was presumably named after the planet Deneva.
Over the course of the 24th century, the Deneva-class became one of the Federation's primary vessels for transporting personnel and materiel. In order to maximize the ship's efficiency in performing the myriad of tasks they need to perform, the Deneva was not designed to have a single configuration. Rather, the central part of the Deneva was a basic frame, into which up to six transport modules could be placed.
These modules would allow the Deneva to perform multiple duties from hosting a diplomatic party, overseeing a first contact mission, or transporting urgent supplies and equipment to colonies and facilities across the Federation. (Last Unicorn RPG module: The Price of Freedom)

1. In this case the petitioners obtained a decree against certain judgment-debtors. The opposite party had obtained a decree against certain judgment-debtors, who are not exactly identical with those of the petitioners, and had applied for rateable distribution. The Munsif of Dacca refused this application on the ground that the judgment-debtors were not identical. Against this order, the opposite party appealed to the District Judge; and the District Judge, following the decision in Gonesh Das Bagria v. Shiva Lakshman Bhakat 30 C. 583., set aside the Munsif's order and directed that the opposite party should share in the rateable distribution.
2. The petitioner has applied to this Court under Section 622 of the Civil Procedure Code, and has obtained a Rule on the opposite party to show cause why the order of the District Judge should not be set aside on the ground that it was passed without jurisdiction.
3. It is clear that under Section 588 of the Civil Procedure Code, an order passed under Section 295 of the Civil Procedure Code is not ordinarily appealable; but it is argued on behalf of the opposite party that such an order comes within the scope of Section 244 and is, therefore, open to appeal. Reference has been made to the case of Prosunno Kumar Sanyal v. Kali Das Sanyal 19 C. 683; L.R. 19 I.A. 166., in which it was laid down that Section 244 should be construed with liberality and that a question, which concerned an auction purchaser at an execution sale, was none-the-less a question coming within that section.
4. We cannot regard this case as an authority for holding the opposite party in this case, who is a decree-holder under a totally distinct decree, to be a party to the suit, in which the petitioner's decree was passed and entitled therefore to appeal by Section 244 of the Code. We think that the order cannot possibly come within the scope of Section 244 of the Civil Procedure Code; and that, therefore, no appeal lay to the District Judge.
5. Secondly, it is argued on behalf of the opposite party that, although no appeal lay to the District Judge, yet this Court should not set aside his order in the exercise of the discretion vested in it by Section 622 of the Civil Procedure Code.
6. The learned pleader for the opposite party has not, however, been able to show us any case in this Court in which it refused to interfere with an order, which was passed wholly without jurisdiction. By the order of the Munsif the petitioner obtained a right to execute his decree free from the interference of the opposite party. The order giving him this right may, or may not, have been just, but it cannot be set aside except in accordance with the law. The case of Ramasamy Chettiar v. R.G. Orr 26 M. 176. is an authority for holding that in cases like the present the High Court is bound to interfere, and although in Dayaram, Jagjivan v. Govardhandas Dayaram 28 B. 458. the learned Judges refused to interfere; under Section (522 with an order passed without jurisdiction, yet their refusal was based on such special circumstances, as to be no authority to justify us in refusing to exercise the power, which Section 622 gives us in a case like the present.
7. The result is that the Rule is made absolute and the order of the District Judge, dated the 16th May 1908, is set aside.

I mean, the title pretty much says it all. Like you didn't know this?
Via Animal New York, PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Partnership for New York City (conflict of interest, much?) have presented the world with a report about where New York ranks compared to the world's major metropolitan areas. Apparently, this one's scientific. Mostly, it goes like this:
We're number one as a place for business to flourish, as we took top spots in lifestyle assets and technology IQ, whatever that is. We know how to use computers? It's because everyone has a laptop, there's WiFi everywhere, and we have iPhones soldered to our faces.
We score high on "economic clout and intellectual capacity." We're all self-described geniuses, everyone has a blog or a book deal or a Twitter or a panel or speaking engagement to be at — even your cab driver — and our bankers have robbed the country of this money.
Forget Paris, or not. Yes: Paris is the only city to edge us out for intellectual capacity. But they still have less economic clout than us. All that time they spent thinking was time we used to crank out the cash. Suckers.
We're also really expensive. No shit? Right. But we were reminded when we dropped to 13th place for cost, down from 9th in last year's report.
Our transportation's decent, but not top-notch. We ranked fourth for public transportation, which all things considered, is more than fair, if not generous. On one hand, no, none of us need cars, we have three airports, and the trains can take us pretty much wherever we need. That said, all three of those airports are awful, the trains never work and the MTA has open contempt for its customer base, and there are never enough taxis.
Neither is our health, safety, or security. That's just because everyone else is a pussy.
So, essentially: we're a great place to make money if you're making a lot of money, but we still cost too much, we're incredibly smart but not smarter than Parisians (who're the only people who are more misanthropic than New Yorkers; also, don't have to account for Jets fans), our transportation's great but nothing to write home about if you actually live here, and we're bound to die sooner than everyone else.
Sounds about right.

Tollymore Forest
Today we had plenty of opportunities to release our inner child. As a DEAFCON five on the maturity scale, we found it easy to release our inner child, as we pretended to conquer castles, roam about pound world (the British version of the dollar tree) and prance about like deer in the open fields.
Our first stop was Dundrum Castle. There was no tour, no pamphlets, no signs to read, just a few ruins standing in a Forrest overlooking the Irish Sea. We were free to roam about and explore what was once a great castle. This really brought out the inner child in a lot of us- particularly the boys. They climbed up to one of the towers and pretended to be the knights conquering the castle. Then, we went into the nearby town of Newcastle to explore the boardwalk. I spent my time in a local cafe with some friends enjoying some if the best ice cream I've ever tasted. After about 30 minutes of free time, we met at a small restaurant where we were told we would find the best fish and chips of our life. Let me tell you, it lived up to its reputation. We then piled back on the bus for a short ride to Tollymore Forrest. It was an incredibly beautiful park with trails through the woods. We were free to roam around at our leisure. I spent my time frolicking through a huge green field, and walking along the river banks. It was absolutely incredibly beautiful. There was a huge rock in the middle of the Forrest with the words "STOP. Look around and praise the name of him who made it all." It was an incredible reminder to take in the incredible creation we were surrounded by. After a long trip of tours, lessons, and strict schedules, it was really refreshing to have a day to release energy, and just good around having fun.

"When the Gates foundation polled 40,000 teachers about job satisfaction, the majority agreed that supportive leadership, time for collaboration, access to high quality curriculum and resources, clean and safe buildings, and relevant professional development were even more important than higher salaries.
But working conditions in many public schools remain far from this ideal—especially for beginning teachers, who are most likely to be assigned to the highest-need schools. Despite the added challenges they face, these teachers are often given few resources and little professional support."

It's the AFF week and I was supposed to be at the Harper bazaar's show with the sisters but yea..
I wonder if age is catching up on me cause recently I just don't feel like stepping out to meet people or attend any events.
I still remember how I get so excited whenever I received invites last year but this time round I didn't really want to go for any.
I'm actually loving how I spend my weekends going for movie dates with Sean and playing cards/mahjong with my family and the usual gang.
Anyone else feel the same? Need to get my mojo back in life!
It's the boyfriend's 25th birthday and our 8th anniversary at the end of the month!
Got to start cracking my head on which restaurant to dine in and what gift I should prepare.
It's a pity he's still unable to apply leave from work at the moment if not it'd be great if we could plan a getaway. The last time we went on a trip together was last December? Sigh pie..
*fingers crossed*
Mother's day dinner last weekend
I think we kinda look alike here with our eyesbags, big nose and big mouth hahaha
After visiting this Korean bbq at Suntec, I'm having the urge to go for a buffet one instead.
The portion was too small albeit it being a good meal, the servings were like it's for kids!
Happy Mother's day to the 3 mothers who didn't like the polaroid..
It's really nice how my mom and Sean's mom can get along so well :)
I'm indeed fortunate that Sean's mom is such a nice person with a heart of gold.
All the things she does for her children is just beyond what normal mother does.
And my selfless mother whom I would not trade for anything else in the world.
The superwoman who never once complained about bringing us up all by herself when my dad was overseas.
My silly mom who takes care and talk to Taylor like he is her own son.
The cute auntie Lisa whom my friends love hanging out with is no doubt the best :')
The dainty Joen ruffle skirt is one hot favourite among my friends ~
The fit of the skirt and pressed pleats are indeed very nicely done!
Can hardly see the pinstripes on this Miu Tweed Top even after I darkened this pic :/
So do check out our Fb preview on the monochrome piece :)
Love how this is slightly structured which makes it perfect for work!
Till then..

Opinion Poll on Public and Private Schools
July 23, 1991
About This Video
Run time: 59 minutes
Mr. Russonello and Mr. Sanders briefed reporters on the results of a public opinion poll on public and private schools. The results of the poll indicated Americans generally believe their public schools are doing a good job in instructing their children. The poll showed, however, the majority of Americans feel private schools do a better job in instructing children than do public schools. Americans also felt private schools were beneficial in that they provided a choice for parents in where to send their children to school. Reporters at the news briefing questioned the relatively low number of people interviewed by telephone for the survey and other aspects of the conduct of the survey.

Largely overlooked in the saturation coverage of the United Airlines' bumping incident is that, aside from the gate agents at Chicago O'Hare, none of the employees involved worked for United. The crew operating the Embraer E170 were all employees of Republic Airways Holdings, parent of the Republic Airlines subsidiary that operated United Express flight 3411. And the crew that showed up at the gate at the last minute to be boarded—necessitating bumping four passengers, including David Dao—worked for Republic.
As someone who has covered both the US mainline and regional airline industries closely for many years, I can't help but wonder if the Byzantine relationship between mainlines and regionals is partly to blame for this incident. It was Republic, not United, that decided its crew had to get to Louisville, necessitating bumping passengers. (It is possible—and would be very ironic if it is the case—that the crew being transported to Louisville operated a non-United branded flight the next day. Republic also operates as American Eagle and Delta Connection out of Louisville.)
So you had a Republic crew showing up at the last minute and a United gate agent figuring out how to get them on board. My guess is there would have been better coordination—and the gate agent would have felt like he or she had more options—if it had been a United crew trying to get on a United mainline flight. (Figuring it out would have likely occurred before the passengers were boarded.) Most of the passengers on board flight 3411 probably had little or no idea they were flying on a Republic—not a United—controlled aircraft.
The system, while well-known and accepted by those in the industry, is really quite strange. Passengers are sold tickets by United, the flight is branded United—but United and United employees aren't operating the flight. Given that Republic also operates for United's rivals, the operational interests of the regional and the mainline aren't identical. Republic, for instance, was most worried about getting its flights from Louisville out on time on Monday morning—for United, American and Delta.
That's primarily what the regionals are judged on in terms of their capacity purchase agreement contracts with the majors: on-time performance and completing flights. So Republic's incentive—getting the crew to Louisville so the next day's flights can be on time—may not be United's—first and foremost serving customers such as David Dao.
I understand why the mainline-regional system has ended up structured the way it has. Regionals largely believe it would be too risky from a business perspective to fly and sell tickets under their own brands, and mainlines, with all they have to worry about, simply don't want so many smaller aircraft under their operational control. But the mainlines need the passenger feed to their hubs, so they contract out a large amount of their flying to other companies.
But it is nevertheless somewhat deceiving to the public, even if the small print on itineraries says, "flight operated by Republic." Most people outside the industry I talk to about their domestic airline trips are completely unaware that part or all of the journey was not aboard the airline they bought their ticket from. And it creates incentives that are at cross purposes, as I explained above, and leads to regionals and mainlines having to coordinate things like placing crew on aircraft and bumping passengers—even though the employees doing the coordinating work for different companies that may have different rules and procedures.
None of this excuses what happened on United Express flight 3411 or United CEO Oscar Munoz's slow-footed response to the incident. Dao, after all, was a United-paying passenger. (The passengers pay the mainlines; the mainlines pay the regionals.) But Republic should share some of the blame. And part of the "review" being undertaken post-incident should be about the mainline-regional structure in the US that helped create the situation that led to this infamous incident.

I'm not too fond of pretentious, intricate desserts and that's exactly what this crumb cake is not. It has a light and fluffy texture, and the topping makes it crunchy. This cake is a perfect match for tea or coffee.
I found the recipe on RecipeZaar and scaled it down by half. I was going to add blueberries but I only remembered about them after I put the cake in the over. Don't you hate it when that happens?
(For the cake)
½ stick of butter, softened
4 oz cream cheese*
5/8 c/140 g sugar
1 egg*
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ c milk*
1 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
*At room temp.
For the topping:
¼ stick of butter, cold
¼ c flour
¼ brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 355 F. Grease an 8"x8" baking pan and set aside.
Cream butter and cream cheese together. Add sugar. Then add the egg, vanilla and milk. Mix until well-combined. Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and gradually add to the wet mixture.
Topping: Combine the sugar, cinnamon and flour and cut in the butter. The consistency should be that of a coarse meal.Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with the topping. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

Blue Origin, the space company owned by Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com fame, flew their New Shepard reusable suborbital rocket vehicle for the third time last Saturday. The rocket takes off with the rocket booster and crew capsule connected together but just above 100 km in altitude the two separate. The crew capsule falls back to earth for a parachute landing while the booster does a vertical tail-first powered return using its liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen engine.
In this test flight they decided to wait till the booster was at low altitude before turning on the engine. As you will see in the video, it comes down really fast and then brakes smoothly for a soft landing:
In a year or two, the New Shepard vehicles will fly people above the threshold to space but for the time being scientific and technology research payloads will be frequent customers. Here are videos describing the two experiments that flew on the above flight:
A University of Central Florida experiment designed to mimic impacts between objects in microgravity is flying aboard the next flight of Blue Origin's reusable New Shepard space vehicle. Principal Investigator: Dr. Joshua Colwell
A Southwest Research Institute experiment designed to better understand the rocky soil on small, near-Earth asteroids is flying aboard the next flight of Blue Origin's reusable New Shepard space vehicle. Principal Investigator: Dr. Dan Durda

10 Fatigue Fighters When you're feeling run-down and exhausted,
try one of these methods for an energy -- or attitude -- boost.
By Theresa Tamkins
A Well-Rounded You
You know you haven't run a marathon, climbed a mountain, or even done much more than slog through a giant stack of paperwork -- so why do you feel exhausted at the end of every day? That's the tricky thing about stress: it can make you feel mentally and physically exhausted. If you're so pooped you can't socialize, enjoy hobbies, or participate in activities that make you happy, it's time to reassess. Find the fatigue fighter that leaves you feeling relaxed, refreshed, and invigorated.
1. Exercise.
It may seem counterintuitive -- you're so tired you can barely drag yourself home at the end of the day, so why would running a few miles help? The fact is, exercise is one of the best ways to combat fatigue. More movement, not less, boosts energy levels. And you can exercise without leaving the comfort of your own home. Invest in some 8- or 10-pound weights and do some work on your arms while you're watching TV or talking on the phone. Or buy an aerobic workout video and do 20 minutes in the morning for a before-work cardio-boost.
2. Sleep.
It sounds simple, but how often are you getting a good night's sleep? If you actually keep a log of your sleep habits, you may find that your late-night puttering is robbing you of precious hours of shut-eye. Set a bedtime for yourself, and stick to it.
3. Healthy diet.
Stick to a healthy diet. While sugary snacks and caffeine-laden soft drinks may give you a short-term boost, they will quickly dump you into a low-energy slump. So what should you eat instead? Try dried apricots along with one ounce of almonds for a low-fat energy boost -- this combo snack gives you up to 50 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A, and 20 percent of your daily iron allowance. Raisins and yogurt, or a fresh peach are some other nutrition-packed snacks that can help you boost your energy levels.
4. Cooling eye mask.
Okay, you may feel a little silly, but who cares how you look? These eye masks typically contain a cold-retaining gel. Keep a few in the fridge and pop them on at the end of the day when your eyes are burning from computer glare or throbbing with tension. Look a little funny, feel fantastic.
5. Pounding beat.
Put on some music that gets you going. Remember when you could dance until dawn and watch the sun rise? Those days may be long gone, but your old AC/DC album may give you just enough energy to clean the kitchen. Or try an energizing yoga workout to rejuvenate your body and mind.

Grilled Herb Potatoes
The humble potato, given a little something extra, always elicits oohs and aahs. This is especially true when it's tossed with herb-infused oil and cooked on the grill. It gets even better when you shop the market for farm fresh potatoes, fresh herbs and infused olive and grape seed oils from The Olive Tap and Wild Tree. Don't stop at potatoes—find a wide assortment of produce to grill.
2 pounds large Yukon Gold or other yellow-fleshed potatoes
1/4 cup chopped mixed herbs such as parsley, chives, rosemary, and oregano
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon wedge plus additional for serving
1. Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-high heat.
2. Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick slices and cook in a large pot of well-salted boiling water 10 minutes (potatoes will not be cooked through).
3. Meanwhile, stir together herbs, garlic, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large shallow dish.
4. Drain potatoes well and transfer to herb oil, tossing gently to coat.
5. Transfer potatoes to grill, letting excess oil drip into dish (reserve oil in dish). Grill potatoes, covered, turning once or twice, until tender, about 5 minutes total.
6. Return potatoes to dish and toss again with herb oil. Squeeze lemon wedge over potatoes. Season with salt and serve with additional lemon wedges.

Gail Taylor
Gail brings four decades experience of group facilitation, instructional design and experiential learning to Tomorrow Makers. Gail uses a synergistic approach to link diverse parties, dissolve blocks of unhealthy competition, and enable organizations and communities to tap into tacit and entrepreneurial knowledge.
Gail has taught in public and private schools. It is here, with young children that she first thought about Group Genius. Student scores soared when Gail observed that there were only a few simple rules that she needed to practice rigorously. Within this discipline, freedom to excel became standard practice.
Gail took what she learned from her interaction with young children and began applying it to the adult community through forming The Learning Exchange. The genius of this organization was that it brought all facets of the community together --- young students, CEOs, scientists, teachers, artists, educators, economists, and parents – into collaboration to design curriculum missing in school systems.
Her work and philosophy in education expanded to the business and government communities when she and her husband, Matt Taylor, co-founded MG Taylor Corporation and knOwhere Inc. This patented system is able to engage hundreds of people together to create, design and implement higher order solutions in remarkably short periods of time and reach well beyond conflict resolution and compromise. In 2001, Gail began working with the World Economic Forum to design collaborative workshops to participants. She became a fellow in 2005 and part of her work was to transfer the MGT process to the Forum, now known as the WEF WorkSpace.
Now Gail comes full cycle with Tomorrow Makers, a non-profit corporation developed to work with communities to help them bring about the transformations they envision.

losing it
I've just had one of those moments that happen too often. When a thought I've been happily following simply slips away while my mind snagged on something else. I'm a lateral thinker and talker, constantly interrupting myself to say remind me to tell you about that later or to stop, mid-sentence, to follow another tangent whose logic is entirely apparent to me. Not always so to others. And there's the related problem of other people sparking off new thoughts that I need to follow - and on it goes. I fear it makes me seem scatty at best, tiring (or mad) at worst.At the weekend, whilst waiting for lunch, my request for a piece of scrap paper (to jot down a trail of thoughts) was met with a holding gaze of disapproval as a waitress slowly tore a ticket off her book for me to use. This came after my asking to move tables and usual menu indecision and marked me out as a person to be hustled out as quickly as possible.
The pressure of the mental catherine wheel is eased by jotting things down: pinning words and phrases and little mind maps that spiral in different directions. But while I always mean to carry a notebook, my restless jigging about of bags means too often I forget to transfer it. So the stack of notebooks and pens that I stockpiled for various trips have now been scattered around every conceivable pocket and bag. It's the only way.

Early life and education[edit]
Lisa Loeb was born in Bethesda, Maryland, on March 11, 1968. She was raised in Dallas, Texas. Her parents still live in Dallas. Her mother, Gail, was the president of the Dallas County Medical Society Alliance and Foundation, and her father, Dr. Peter Loeb, was a gastroenterologist.[17] She was raised in a Jewish family.[18] As a child, she studied piano, but later switched to guitar.[1] She attended The Hockaday School, an all-girls private school. For three years, she had her own radio show on 88.5 KRSM-FM, a 10-watt station licensed to the nearby all-boys St. Marks School of Texas.[19] After graduating from high school in 1986, she went to Brown University, where she graduated in 1990[1] with a degree in comparative literature.[20]
Music career[edit]
Early years and first bands (1980s–1993)[edit]
At Brown University in the mid-1980s, Loeb and Elizabeth Mitchell formed a band named Liz and Lisa,[20] with future singer/songwriter and classmate Duncan Sheik as a guitarist. The duo released the albums Liz and Lisa (1989) and Liz and Lisa - Days Were Different (1990) independently.[1] After college, bassist Rick Lassiter and drummer Chad Fischer joined the band.[citation needed] After developing a following together, Loeb and Mitchell parted ways a few years after college.
Loeb attended Berklee College of Music in Boston for a session of summer school, and in 1990 formed a full band called Nine Stories. The band, which was named after the book by J.D. Salinger, included Tim Bright on guitar, Jonathan Feinberg on drums, and Joe Quigley on bass. Loeb began working with producer Juan Patiño to make the cassette Purple Tape in 1992.[1] It included the earliest recordings of later popular tracks such as "Do You Sleep?," "Snow Day," "Train Songs," and "It's Over."[20][21] Loeb sold the violet-colored cassette to fans at gigs and used it as a sonic calling card to industry gatekeepers.[1] She and her band also made a recording of her song "Stay (I Missed You)" during the same period.[22]
Loeb also developed a following from her solo acoustic performances on the New York City coffeehouse circuit and the rock club circuit. She travelled to cities such as Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Dallas, but she focused mainly on New York City. She played acoustically and with her band in folk and rock clubs, including CBGBs. Loeb also performed at music festivals such as the New Music Seminar and South by Southwest.[1]
"Stay (I Missed You)" (1994)[edit]
Loeb's big break came through her friendship with actor Ethan Hawke,[19] who lived in an apartment across the street from her in New York City. She told Cosmopolitan that she met Hawke in the NYC theater community where, as she phrased it, "I made music for his plays."[23] Loeb gave Hawke the Juan Patiño-produced version of "Stay (I Missed You);"[19] he in turn gave it to director Ben Stiller during the making of the 1994 film Reality Bites, with Stacy Sher. Stiller subsequently decided to use the song in the film's ending credits,[19] and it was included by Ron Fair on the soundtrack on RCA Records.[1] Hawke also directed a rare one-take video on film, a continuous steadicam shot operated by Robin Buerki.
"Stay (I Missed You)" ultimately went on to become a number one hit on the American charts.[24] When her song hit number one, Loeb earned the distinction of being the first artist to top the Hot 100 before being signed to any record label.[1] The single reached Gold status on July 12, 1994, just over three months after its official release date.[25] Loeb and Nine Stories received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Group, and were named Best International Newcomer in the Brit Awards.[1]
Tails and Firecracker (1995–1999)[edit]
In September 1995, Loeb's debut album, Tails, credited to Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories, was released on Geffen Records.[26] The album was co-produced by Juan Patiño, her then longtime boyfriend.[26] "Stay" was included on the album, and Loeb also managed a top 20 hit with "Do You Sleep?" and two moderately successful radio hits with "Taffy" and "Waiting for Wednesday." The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on December 1, 1995.[25] Critics were also favorable to the album, with Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly, in particular, noting, "Loeb has an undeniable gift for creating an air of intimacy and vulnerability, which may well be enough for 'Stay' fans looking for additional doses of contemplative melancholy."[26][27]
After the release of Tails Tim Bright and Jonathan Feinberg left Nine Stories and were replaced with Mark Spencer and Ronny Crawford respectively.
In 1997, Loeb released a second major-label album on Geffen, Firecracker, and began experimenting even more with orchestrations done with Dan Coleman. At this point, Loeb started going under her own name for the albums instead of using the band name, although she still continued to tour worldwide with Nine Stories, as well as acoustically as she had done from the start.[citation needed] Firecracker included hit singles such as "I Do," which received radio success, peaking at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and music television.[citation needed] The album was certified Gold on June 10, 2008.[25] She subsequently toured with The Wallflowers and Chris Isaak, and also performed at Lilith Fair.[1]
Guest appearances (2000–2001)[edit]
In 2000, Loeb participated in the Ozzy Osbourne tribute album Bat Head Soup, performing "Goodbye to Romance" with Dweezil Zappa on guitar. She also contributed to An All Star Tribute To Cher with "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves," and to An All Star Tribute To Shania Twain with "Don't Be Stupid," both of which were released in 2005. Other international work includes Loeb's guest performance on the song "Anti-Hero" for an all-female Japanese musical group Rin''s album Inland Sea..[28] Loeb contributed vocals to New Found Glory's cover of "Stay," from their 2007 LP From the Screen to Your Stereo Part II, as well as performing the song live with the band.[29]
Though Reality Bites was the first, Loeb's music has been featured in additional soundtracks. The popular single "How" was included on the soundtracks for films Twister and Jack Frost, and was heard in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Homecoming." "We Could Still Belong Together" earned a spot on the Legally Blonde soundtrack in 2001, while "I Wish" can be heard on the soundtrack for Anywhere But Here (1999).
Cake and Pie (2002)[edit]
Cake and Pie, Loeb's third album and debut for A&M/Interscope, was released in 2002. She co-produced the album and collaborated with Glen Ballard, then boyfriend Dweezil Zappa, Randy Scruggs (Vince Gill, Sawyer Brown, Waylon Jennings), and Peter Collins (Rush, Bon Jovi, Indigo Girls). It peaked at 199 on the Billboard Charts.[30]
In mid-2002, Loeb inked a deal with Artemis Records, a new boutique label run by record company veterans Danny Goldberg and Daniel Glass, after Interscope allowed her to buy the rights to her masters. Artemis had offered to re-release the record with more promotion. With new artwork, some songs added and some removed, Cake and Pie was re-launched as Hello Lisa, a play on Sanrio's signature Hello Kitty, who appears on the album cover wearing Lisa Loeb's trademark glasses.[1]
She released an EP with just the new songs on it, as well as an alternative version of the song "Underdog" for fans who had already purchased the Cake and Pie CD. She also co-directed a video with Dweezil for "Underdog" co-starring Hello Kitty playing guitar. Loeb toured the world again, making special stops in Sanrio stores for in-store autographs while appearing with Hello Kitty at the Japanese MTV Music Awards.
The Way It Really Is (2004)[edit]
In 2003, Loeb voiced the role of Mary Jane Watson in Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, which ran for one season on MTV.
In 2004, Loeb signed to the more experienced and established independent label Zoë/Rounder Records, home of Grammy Award winners Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. The Way It Really Is was released August 2004 as Loeb's fifth studio-recorded album, based on the song "The Way It Really Is."[31] Although the album was not as commercially successful as its predecessors, critics who noted on the mature and strong writing by Loeb.[32] Stephen Erlewine called it "the best, most cohesive record she's made, a clean, crisp collection of well-crafted, gentle tunes that slowly, surely work into the subconscious."[31]
The Very Best of Lisa Loeb, Purple Tape (2006–2009)[edit]
Her greatest hits compilation, The Very Best of Lisa Loeb, was released through Universal in January 2006 as well as a Japanese version of the album. Loeb was a judge for the 1st and 8th annual Independent Music Awards to support independent artists.[33]
In 2008, she released her Purple Tape album remixed and remastered on a double CD. It included an interview by Andy Denemark, highlighting the creative process behind each song.[1] There were also extensive liner notes and photos documenting her early history in NYC.[21]
No Fairy Tale and touring (2013–2014)[edit]
Her seventh studio album No Fairy Tale was released on January 29, 2013, by 429 Records, coproduced by Chad Gilbert and Loeb herself.[34] She released the original single "A Holiday Song" through Furious Rose Productions on December 10, 2013.[35]
Loeb tours with and without her band, recently touring with Daru Oda and Adam Levy. Other band members include: Mark Spencer, Matt Beck, Ronny Crawford, Joe Quigley, Joe Travers, Mark Meadows, Michael Eisenstein, Dave Gibbs, and Leland Sklar.[citation needed] In September 2014, she performed at the Billboard Live venues in Tokyo and Osaka. During the performances she ended with a rendition of her new song "3, 2, 1, Let Go."[36] On December 9, 2014, she released the original single "Light."[37] The Hanukkah song tells a "story of hope in the darkness," and was co-written by Loeb and Cliff Goldmacher, with Renee Stahl on guest vocals. The song was put in rotation on SiriusXM among other stations.[38]
Camp Kappawanna, singles (2015)[edit]
She co-wrote the lyrics and co-composed the music to Camp Kappawanna, a family musical that premiered in New York on March 21, 2015 by the Atlantic Theater Company. Other collaborators on the score included Michelle Lewis and Dan Petty.[12] The musical follows "the misadventures of Jennifer Jenkins, an awkward and adorable 12-year-old kid," and was inspired by Loeb's own memories of summer camp.[12] The show received a positive write-up in The New York Times, with the review describing it as "fresh and funny" and praising the acoustic music and characterizations of the campers.[39]
Her song "3, 2, 1, Let Go" was released in April 2015 as a single. Co-written and co-composed with Chris Unck, the song was also used in the April 2015 film Helicopter Mom. Loeb also starred in the film as a high school English teacher.[9][2] On November 20, 2015, Loeb released the single "Champagne (I'm Ready)" as a digital download through Amazon.[40] Loeb described the New Year's track as "something you'd probably hear more in a dance club."[41]
Material loss (2019)[edit]
On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed Lisa Loeb among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.[42]
Children's material[edit]
Catch the Moon album (2003–2006)[edit]
In 2003, Loeb reunited with her college music partner Elizabeth Mitchell on children's CD and companion book Catch the Moon through Artemis Records.[1] According to Allmusic, "The songs are rendered in a folk/country acoustic minimalism that is, in a word, enchanting."[43] Videos from this album, as well as the single "Jenny Jenkins," have been featured on the Noggin TV network for children.[20]
In 2006, Loeb contributed to the album A World of Happiness, designed to disseminate messages of kindness, compassion, tolerance, and self-reliance to children of all ages. She performed as Lady Leonali the Ladybug singing "In the Details."
Camp Lisa album and non-profit (2008–2010)[edit]
In 2008 she released Camp Lisa, also released by Loeb's own Furious Rose Productions with distribution through Redeye, and produced by Loeb with Michelle Lewis and Dan Petty. The disc includes a mix of 21 original and classic camp songs and guest performers including Kay Hanley, Dave Gibbs, Nina Gordon, Jill Sobule, Lee Sklar, Maia Sharp, and funnyman/banjo player Steve Martin.[44]
As Loeb spent many summers of her childhood at summer camp,[20] Camp Lisa is inspired by her camp memories as well as 1970s-style rock and pop. Camp Lisa garnered National Parenting Publications Awards Honors, 2008 Parents' Choice and NPR's year-end Top 10 list of the best kids music for 2008. In July 2010, she debuted her children's musical Camp Kappawanna, which is based on the songs from Camp Lisa.[20]
In conjunction with Camp Lisa, she launched her own non-profit, The Camp Lisa Foundation, designed to help underprivileged kids attend summer camp through its partnership with SCOPE (Summer Camp Opportunities Promote Education, Inc.).[45] In 2009, The Camp Lisa Foundation provided funding for many camp scholarships, enabling economically disadvantaged children to attend ACA-accredited overnight camps.[46]

In 2015, Loeb appeared as Julie, lead singer of the fictitious band "Natalie is Freezing," in "Advanced Safety Features," a season 6 episode of the TV series Community. She also appeared as herself in Hot Tub Time Machine 2.[69] Other shows she has recently been involved in include Orange Is the New Black, About a Boy, King of the Nerds, The Muppet Show, and Sunny Side Up Show.[41]
According to People: "Though Lisa Loeb rose to fame as a singer, she's probably just as well known for her eyeglasses."[70] In November 2010, Loeb launched the Lisa Loeb Eyewear Collection.[71] Each type of frame is named after one of her song titles, and while most models are for women, there are models for young girls and men.[72]
Loeb also sells a brand of coffee called her "Wake Up! Brew," a reference to her "Everybody Wake Up" song from her Camp Lisa album. The brand is organic and fair trade,[73] with all profits going to Camp Lisa,[36] and it is only available through the Coffee Fool website.[14]

Loeb dated Dweezil Zappa from 1998 to 2004. She married Roey Hershkovitz in 2009; they met in 2006 during a business meeting for a food TV show. The couple have two children, Lyla Rose and Emet Kuli.[17][74][75] Her cousin is New York City-based drag queen Alexis Michelle who was a competitor on the ninth season of reality television series RuPaul's Drag Race.[76][77]

Ksenya Niks is a Ukrainian driver who has raced in the European Touring Car Championship.
She is very unusual for a professional driver, in that she did not start racing until she was over 40, and had had children.
2012 was her debut year, and she raced in the Ukrainian Touring Car Cup. Her car was a Super 1600-spec Ford Fiesta, and she was sixth in the Touring Light class. Her best overall finishes were four fourth places, all achieved at the Chajka circuit in Ukraine, where the championship is based. She also travelled to Georgia in November, for the Rustavi International Challenge. Driving the Fiesta, she was second in two GT Unlimited races, earning a fastest lap in the second.
In only her second season of racing, she moved ip to the European Touring Car Championship.
Her car was a Ford Fiesta run by M-Sport, and she ran in the Super 1600 class. Although she completed the whole season, she was not among the front-runners, and had to settle for ninth in her class, third in the women's standings. Her best result was sixth, at Brno.
As well as her European commitments, Ksenya remained active in the Ukrainian series, in the Fiesta. She competed in the Touring Light and GT Open classes, and did well in the GT Open series, with six second places. Her best finish in the Touring class was fourth. She was second in the GT Open championship, and seventh in Touring Light.
Keeping with the international nature of her 2013 season, she raced some more in Georgia, sampling Legends, and the Georgian GT Unlimited championship. She was fifth in the two-litre Touring class in the Fiesta, with one overall sixth place.
She returned to the ETCC in 2014, and the Super 1600 Fiesta. Her track record improved, and she managed two third places, at Spa and Salzburg. She was fifth in Super 1600, and second in the Ladies' Trophy, behind her team-mate, Ulrike Krafft. The only real low point of her season was a DNF at the Slovakiaring, which meant she could not start the second race.
In the Ukrainian Touring Light series, she enjoyed a highly successful year, with two outright wins, three seconds and two third places. Had she done the whole championship, she could have won.
For a change, she raced Legends at Rustavi in Georgia in the spring. She was twelfth in the championship, with one fifth place in a heat as her best result.
Stepping back from ETCC competition, she came back to the Ukrainian GT Open Cup in 2015, for a part-season in the Fiesta. She had a best finish of second, achieved in two races at Chajka. Unfortunately, her two other races ended in non-finishes.
She travelled to Georgia once more, and raced in more Legends events there. Her best finish was fifth again, at Rustavi.
In 2016, she was back in the ETCC, driving a Ford Fiesta for Gena Autosport. She was fifth in the Super 1600 class, with a best finish of fifth, achieved three times at Magny-Cours and Vila Real. This time, she finished ahead of Ulrike Krafft, now driving for a different team. Her focus was solely on European competition this year.
Away from the circuits, Ksenya works as a lawyer. Her plans for 2017 are unclear.

DIY: Reverse Decoupage Jewelry Tray
We've spent a lot of time on our wardrobes for our "ReFresh" theme this month. We've gone through our closets and de-cluttered, scented our drawers with sachets and paper liners, added sweet details to our hangers, and tomorrow you'll see the first in our series of posts on how to organize a clothing swap party. But first, we want to share our final touch for our dressing rooms (or, at least the small area in our bedrooms where we keep our clothes). Making a glass tray with favorite paper is a lovely way to personalize an object for yourself or as a gift. We're using ours as a spot for jewelry.
DIY Reverse Decoupage Tray PDF
Glass Tray
Decorative Paper
Gold Paint
Mod Podge
Spray Adhesive
Acrylic Metallic Gold Paint (For Glass and Ceramics)
Metallic Gold Sharpie (Oil Based)
Exacto Knife
Small Brushes
Cork or Bone Folder
- Cut out images from paper. Thicker paper, such as good quality wrapping paper, is easiest to work with. Avoid glossy or coated paper.
Flip the tray over so that the bottom is facing you. Brush decoupage medium (such as Mod Podge) across the back of the tray.
Lightly place your paper over the glued area, with the right side facing down (so that the "pretty" side shows through on the front of the tray). Layer paper on top of paper if you are doing a collage, adding the decoupage medium to the back of the tray as needed.
Smooth out any air bubbles with a bone folder or even a cork from a wine bottle and let dry for about an hour.
Brush another layer of decoupage medium over the paper, covering the entire back of the tray.
After it dries, scrape off any excess glue from the edges with a razor blade or Exacto knife.
Paint the back of the tray whatever color you'd like to see around the edge of the piece. Two coats will probably be necessary. Use a metallic oil based Sharpie to touch up tray edges.
Using a spray adhesive, glue a piece of felt to the back of the tray to give it a finished look.
Ta-da! You're done.

Bringing Forth the Beauty of Birth
Bringing Forth the Beauty of Birth (BFBB) Course - $625
Intensive and Comprehensive Birth Education and Preparation course.
BFBB prepares women and their partners in a practical way for the physical, mental & emotional process of birthing by inviting them to open their eyes to what is within, take a closer look at themselves and understand how they experience coming undone and becoming one in order to meet the challenges of life, love and labor. Knowing thyself is key to birth preparation, for the more aware you and your partner are of your own processes, the better able you will be to ask for what you need and the easier it will be to synchronize your personal creative life processes with the birthing process.
Using Creative Life Coaching, Sustainable Self Awareness, Birth Education and age old Mindfulness techniques such as Self Entrancement, Relaxation, Vocalization, Breath Expansion and Birthing Positions, BFBB helps you remember how to trust your Self and your body to draw upon your own self knowledge, intuition, worldview, cultural values and life experiences to access and apply your own Wisdom within the birthing process. For as much as you are giving birth, you are being born, bringing forth the beauty, not only of your child, and of your ancestral legacy, but of the mother, and father, you are yet to become.
BFBB affords you and your partner dedicated time to drop in and connect with one another to discover, define and design what this rite of passage means for you individually and as a family. You will be delighted to discover how very analogous the mysteries of labor and life actually are. What you learn about yourself in this birthing course will become a transferable life skill to assist you in meeting life challenges beyond birth.
The Intensive 6 hour course can take place in the privacy and comfort of your home or at the SoWisdom Center. I recommend taking the course one month before your due date. The course covers: understanding birth perspectives, paradigms and possibilities; learning and practicing birthing positions, breathing, vocalization and relaxation techniques to manage discomfort and reduce anxiety and stress; understanding the stages of labor, labor support, and birth blueprint; and Creative Life Coaching to integrate the information, support a healthy pregnancy mind, body and spirit and prepare for a safe, successful birth.

There's a standard liberal critique of the "There's Two Kinds of People In This World" Game that makes a very broad claim:
Human behavior is infinitely varied and even the most detailed classification systems fall apart at the level of the individual. Anything that treats people as categories and not individuals is pure prejudice.
This is as dumb as anything that comes out of the right wing fringe these days. Does that mean we are as bad as they are? No.
Human beings are born with an unconscious problem solving capacity that, as a matter of biological necessity, assumes something close to the exact opposite of the the liberal claim above. People in the thrall of this Oakland-style liberalism can say whatever silly things they want, but their behavior (and voting) will always bear out the truth that "custom and habit are the great guides to life." One of the most important habits hardwired into human nature is the ability to generalize particulars into abstract categories and to use those categories to navigate the world.
The joy of that successful navigation is what makes the "Two Kinds Of People" Game so much fun. Like "Hide and Seek" or "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon", "Two Kinds of People" is a folk game based on simplified survival skills.
So let's recapture a little childhood joy and play "Two Kinds Of People" with Catholics.
There's two kind of Catholics in this country: Scalia/O'Reilly Catholics and Colbert/Jesuit Catholics.
Scalia/O'Reilly Catholics
Here are the Scalia Catholics, straight from the horse's mouth in a Q and A with New York Magazine:
The one thing I did think, as he said those somewhat welcoming things to gay men and women, is, Huh, this really does show how much our world has changed. I was wondering what kind of personal exposure you might have had to this sea change.
I have friends that I know, or very much suspect, are homosexual. Everybody does.
Have any of them come out to you?
No. No. Not that I know of.
Has your personal attitude softened some?
Toward what?
I don't think I've softened. I don't know what you mean by softened.
If you talk to your grandchildren, they have different opinions from you about this, right?
I don't know about my grandchildren. I know about my children. I don't think they and I differ very much. But I'm not a hater of homosexuals at all.
Colbert/Jesuit Catholics
Then there's the other kind of Catholics. Here's Colbert, demonstrating the difference:

The Sydney Roosters reportedly sacked a sports nutrition company after learning six players had returned blood tests with elevated readings for the banned substance Human Growth Hormone.
In a Fairfax Media report, it is alleged details of the players' blood test results were found on the phone of an organised crime figure after being seized by law enforcement officers.
The firm, Nubodi, was hired by the club last year in an attempt to fine tune detox diets for the players, the club's chief operating officer Brian Canavan confirmed.
Canavan said Roosters players were tested for human growth hormone without the consent of club officials or staff.
Boyd Cordner, Sam Moa and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck were three players named in the Fairfax report who had elevated HGH levels.
The trio were later re-tested by the club, with those blood tests not returning elevated levels of HGH.
There is no suggestion any player has acted improperly.
"We were very unhappy that the extended (blood) testing was conducted. It was done without our knowledge," Canavan told Fairfax.
The Roosters, who finished the season as minor premiers and are favourites to take out premiership in a fortnight, informed the NRL's integrity unit of the unusual test results midway through this season.
Sean Carolan, who runs Nubodi, denied the inconsistent growth hormones among some tested players was a result of taking illegal supplements.
HGH is banned by ASADA as it is used to strengthen connective tissue which reduces the probability of injury.
The Roosters face Newcastle on Saturday night in a preliminary final, with the winner to progress to the grand final on October 6.

By the pool:
To me, this is the "nautical" look done right. I like just a hint of nautical- a splash of brilliant red on a ruffled bikini, black piping on a slouchy blouse, canvas and straw details in the accessories, and taking stripes in a new direction with fun color combinations. Nautical comes back every year as a go-to summer look, and it does work really well on almost everyone. However, when you start combining red, white and blue stripes, anchor motifs, rope accents and bright whites you can begin to look like you're wearing a costume. So this summer, play with nautical and incorporate bits and pieces of the trend into your wardrobe- it's very versatile and works perfectly for casual days, and even at the office if done correctly. Happy Friday!
