Lee Jasper, the Mayor's director of equalities and policing, is at the centre of a network of companies which have received large sums of public money from Mr Livingstone while appearing to do little or no work in return.
An Evening Standard investigation has found:
Hundreds of thousands of pounds of public money paid to the companies is unaccounted for or has disappeared.
Up to £295,000 is the subject of possible legal action.
Some of the companies are dormant or have gone out of business.
Several of the organisations are based in the same small room at a business centre in Kennington.
The same people, friends or business associates of Mr Jasper - including race activist Errol Walters and businesswoman and reality TV show star Yvonne Thompson - appear as directors or staff members of each organisation.
Mr Jasper, 49, is one of seven policy directors - the London equivalents of civil service permanent secretaries - who work at the Mayor's side developing and implementing policy at the highest level. Mr Jasper has worked for the Mayor since Mr Livingstone was first elected seven years ago, reporting directly to him and earning more than £111,000 a year. They have been longstanding political friends and allies for many years.
The officials have considerable influence over grants, some paid directly by the Mayor's office and others by Mr Livingstone's wholly controlled economic development body, the London Development Agency.
One grant recipient, Diversity International, controlled by a long-standing friend and business associate of Mr Jasper, Joel O'Loughlin, received £295,000 in LDA funding for the Diversity Dividend, a web-based tool for London business, even though the business consultancy has no expertise in computers and is based in Liverpool.
The website does not exist, the company has now gone into liquidation and all the money paid to it has vanished. The liquidator, David Hole, told the Standard that the LDA was seeking the return of "substantial" sums from Diversity International and official liquidation documents at Companies House say he is considering taking legal action against Mr O'Loughlin for "trading offences".
Mr O'Loughlin ran a company with Mr Jasper, is currently a director of the campaigning body 1990 Trust, to which Mr Jasper is closely connected, and is described by Mr Jasper as someone he has "known for years and years".
Mr O'Loughlin failed to return repeated emails and telephone calls from the Standard. The LDA refused to respond to any of our questions about Diversity International, despite being given nearly a week to do so.
Another project, Brixton Base, whose patron is Mr Jasper and whose director is Errol Walters, another friend, has received £287,000 from the LDA over the past two years for "premises" - even though it has occupied an LDA-owned building throughout that time and was charged no rent in the first year, according to mayoral answers to the London Assembly. The GLA inquiry is into Mr Jasper's role in funding this company.
The LDA paid at least a further £230,000 to Brixton Base to equip it as a "creative training hub" for the black community, with a film studio, and to run three short creative training projects.
However, the director of one of those projects, the film-maker Shango B'Song of ITS Cine, told the Standard that he in fact financed the studio and nearly all the spending on the project out of his own pocket - and saw only £8,000 of the LDA grant given to pay for it.
"From the very beginning of the course, Brixton Base's attitude towards our staff and students was unprofessional, dishonest, abusive and sometimes threatening," said Mr B'Song. One of the directors of Brixton Base, not Mr Walters, "reminded me on numerous occasions that [if I complained] they had 'some gangster friends who would break me up'".
Two sources said that a member of Brixton Base staff, not Mr Walters, had threatened the LDA that its offices would be destroyed by gangs if it refused to renew the organisation's funding. The LDA refused to deny receiving such a threat.
In a letter to the LDA, dated 20 October 2006 and obtained by the Standard, nine of the students on the ITS Cine course complained of "attempted intimidation" by Brixton Base staff - who, they said, also lied to funders and potential funders in their presence that Brixton Base had paid for the studio facilities.
Mr B'Song also complained to the LDA, but told the Standard: "Literally as I was leaving the LDA building after the meeting my phone rang. It was Errol. He said he knew where I'd just been and it was no use complaining to the LDA because he had his people on the inside."
The LDA took no action on either complaint but instead paid a further £390,000 to Brixton Base. The Standard has been leaked a series of emails between Mr Jasper and senior staff of the LDA which lay bare Mr Jasper's key role in protecting the project. In June last year, even before Mr B'Song's and his students' complaints had been received, LDA officials had severe doubts about Brixton Base and wanted to evict the organisation from its building.
However, in an email seen by the Standard, Mr Jasper ordered the LDA's senior director, Tony Winterbottom, to "ensure that this action [the eviction] is withdrawn immediately and ensure I am consulted on all major decisions affecting [Brixton Base]". We have also seen emails which show Mr Jasper's close involvement in the project's funding applications.
Despite receiving at least £535,000 to date in LDA grants, Brixton Base's website remains "under construction" and repeated phone calls by the Standard to its listed number over a period of several weeks were never answered.
Mr Walters is also acting director of the Black Londoners Forum, based in the same building as Brixton Base, which has received at least a further £291,000 directly from the Mayor. The Standard has seen the official funding agreement for £53,000 of this money which imposes extraordinarily few obligations on the Black Londoners Forum in return for its grant.
The agreement says that in return for the BLF's money all the campaigning it has to do is "support an online petition" against attacks on asylum seekers. This currently contains 97 signatures.
The BLF's real function appears to be to offer enthusiastic support for the Mayor. Its website republishes mayoral press releases word-for-word as its own and it responds to mayoral consultations with glowing praise of his policies. This is then cited by Mr Livingstone as "evidence" that his policies are supported by the black community.
Mr Walters failed to respond to repeated telephone messages, texts and emailed questions sent to him by the Standard. The LDA and the Mayor's office refused to answer any of our questions about Brixton Base and the BLF, despite being given them almost a week ago. Nor would they deny any of the allegations made by Mr B'Song and his students.
One figure in the GLA Brixton Base probe - although not currently under investigation herself - is Yvonne Thompson, a friend of Mr Jasper who accompanied him on a trip to New York at the LDA's expense.
The Standard has established that two organisations controlled by Ms Thompson have received, or are due to receive, a total of more than £1 million in funding from the LDA. In an apparent conflict of interest, Ms Thompson was a member of the LDA board at the time the grants were approved.
She also chaired the LDA's equality monitoring and review group, on which Mr Jasper is an observer and Errol Walters a "specialist adviser". Ms Thompson insisted last night that she did not sit on any LDA panels which decided funding.
One of Ms Thompson's companies, the European Federation of Black Women Business Owners, received at least £25,000 from the LDA. However, according to the annual accounts, signed by Ms Thompson as director and on file at Companies House, the EFBWBO has throughout its entire existence been "dormant", receiving no income from anyone, let alone the LDA. Ms Thompson said that the LDA's £25,000 went to a different organisation and denied receiving any personal benefit.
Ms Thompson is also the president of the African Caribbean Business Network, a non-profit charitable company which describes itself as "spearheaded" by Mr Jasper but which appears to do relatively little to deserve an LDA grant totalling £990,000 between 2001 and this financial year. In 2005-6, the year of the latest available accounts, the ACBN claimed to have 2,500 members, but the income from membership subscriptions in the accounts suggests that it may actually have had as few as four paid-up members.
In the entire three years 2003-6 - during which time it received £535,000 from the LDA - the ACBN spent just £75,000 on "activities in furtherance of the charity's objectives", spending nothing at all in 2005-6. The LDA, its sole funder, was clearly unhappy: that year's ACBN accounts speak of "limited assurances that the ACBN would secure funding for the future".
However, despite LDA officials' concerns, Ms Thompson managed to win a new deal guaranteeing a further £200,000 payment in each of the following two years.
In April this year, more than a year before the scheduled expiry of her term, Ms Thompson left the LDA board. The LDA refused to say why this occurred. Ms Thompson told us she left because "the LDA's priorities had changed".
Afua Yeboah, a spokeswoman for the ACBN, told the Standard to direct questions about the ACBN's effectiveness to the LDA. She said that subscription income was not an accurate indicator of ACBN membership, claimed the ACBN had delivered 23 events this year and denied that Mr Jasper had any "formal" involvement with the funding of the ACBN.
Ms Yeboah's denials of Mr Jasper's involvement were undermined, however, when Mr Jasper accidentally copied the Standard into an email exchange with her, revealing that he supervised ACBN's response to all our questions.
In one of the emails, sent at 8.46pm yesterday, Mr Jasper orders Ms Yeboah to "now prepare your letter of complaint" to the Standard before our article was even published.
Another associate of Mr Jasper's, Simeon Grossett, described on the ACBN website as "Mr Networker", is a director of the Black Londoners Forum, a co-director of the ACBN and also has his own company, BEM Community Enterprise, which also appears, from its latest accounts, to have received substantial LDA funding, though the LDA refused to confirm this.
The Standard has discovered that the "statement of activities" shown in BEM's accounts to justify its funding is precisely the same words every single year, simply cut and pasted from one year to the next. BEM's claimed office and "training centre" turns out to be a firm of Brixton solicitors, which told us it merely acted as a forwarding address.
Despite being given since last Thursday to respond to our findings, the LDA has refused to answer any of our questions about any of the organisations it funded. Among the questions it declined to answer was how the funding decisions were made, what benefits, if any, the organisations had delivered for the black community and what Mr Jasper's role was in each case.
The Mayor's office refused to answer any of our questions either, although it has had them since Friday, or to discuss the GLA inquiry, instead accusing the Standard of conducting a "campaign targeting black and ethnic minority organisations".
Mr Jasper insisted last night that he did "not get involved" in grant funding decisions, something which at least one of the leaked emails seems to cast doubt on. "I don't take a day-to-day overview of what's happening at Brixton Base," he said. "I'm just the patron, the champion." He sidestepped questions about his relationship with Errol Walters and said any problems at Brixton Base had been "minor matters".
The Standard has learned that the current GLA inquiry, conducted by the authority's chief executive, Anthony Mayer, is the second into Mr Jasper's involvement in Brixton Base within the past six months. The first one cleared Mr Jasper, but was condemned as inadequate and insufficiently probing. In a letter dated 30 October, Mr Mayer says he will have the matter investigated again.
One member of the LDA board, Eric Ollerenshaw, last night described the Standard's findings as "incredible" and said: "We may have to seek the views of the Audit Commission. There's going to have to be an immediate and proper investigation into these allegations [about all the companies], because it calls into question our whole monitoring procedures."
The London Assembly member Richard Barnes last night called for Mr Jasper to be suspended and said: "If the Mayor doesn't take action, he is condoning what went on."

FZ3 build: Flying wing with landing gear
Hi, just finished my prototype:
Before building the FZ3, i decided to build a prototype first, as there will be a few differences with the FZ2. The PT is build from 3mm depron, glas covered and painted wih "RC colors", 4w HET motor, 3cell. Sizing of the PT is made as such, so that the cubic wing loading is the same as for the original FZ3. Aileron and flap are resized in order to have a representative flying experience as would be with the FZ3. I simplyfied the front wheel, it's more like a skid, not streerable, just to find out if it is possile to take off with this odd setup (cg in the center of the 3 "feet" and the winglets-feet being far behind the cg). I made some attempts to make the skid a retract with a servo, but the forces are huge during takeoff, the frontskid itself and also the servo broke on several occasions. Decided to have a front skid without retract. This turned out fine, the wing has to make a nice speed, before it's able to takeoff. This is due to the odd setup, the wing cannot be tilted to catch more air. The skids are designed to have the wing at an angle of attack of 6° during takeoff. Having 30° of sweep, with winglets upside down, showed me that the wing is stall prone at low speeds, especially during landing: the ailerons lack authority at low speed. In order to keep the design clean, I decided not to add top winglets, but installed fences instead. These should be a able to limit the spanwise crossflow, which induces the stall behavior. Yet to see if this change turns out as expected. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=271334 |

All that firepower might intimidate the casual listener, but Fleck says not to worry. "We're a very human-friendly group," he assures, "We've played together long enough to read each other's minds, and we love to challenge ourselves, but mainly we want to communicate with the audience."
They say you always remember the first time. For Bela Fleck, that seminal event occurred when he heard the theme song for The Beverly Hillbillies, featuring bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs on the banjo. Fleck, who, like many teen-agers in the late Sixties and early Seventies, had taken up strumming Beatles tunes on the guitar, was floored by the quicksilver brilliance of the finger-picked five-string. "Dueling Banjos," from the movie Deliverance, helped turn the infatuation into a full-blown love affair.
Unfortunately, the banjo was not held in high esteem at Manhattan's High School of Music and Art (of Fame fame), which Fleck attended. "I wasn't even that great of a guitar player," Fleck admits, "but I could play `Here Comes the Sun' really well, and that's what got me into the school. They decided to put me on what they considered to be a real instrument -- the French horn -- for which I had no aptitude whatsoever. I felt like a musical invalid. Then they needed male bodies in the vocal chorus, and they made me a tenor, which I wasn't. I couldn't read music, but I had a pretty good ear and was able to pick most of it up and fake the rest." Meanwhile, Fleck was surreptitiously taking private banjo lessons on his own, quickly becoming accomplished enough to sit in on hootenannies in some of New York's top folk clubs. Not content to play traditional banjo, Fleck began covering songs by Yes and Led Zeppelin. He was probably the first student from the prestigious high school to play the guitar breaks from "Stairway to Heaven" and "Roundabout" on the banjo.
Soon Fleck was devoting all of his time and attention to the five-string. He played in a succession of progressive bluegrass bands to pay the bills, then experimented with Charlie Parker and Chick Corea on his own. In 1981 he hit the big time, when the most progressive band in bluegrass, the New Grass Revival, invited Fleck to join. "It was the biggest thing that had ever happened to me at that point. I was a big fan of Sam Bush (Revival leader) and the fact that he worked on me for awhile to convince me to join the band was really mind-boggling." Fleck's accomplished, iconoclastic playing did little to tarnish the band's image, and with the flashy picker in their fold, the Revival went on to collect a pair of Grammy Award nominations.
The birth of the Flecktones was a happy accident. In 1988 Fleck was invited to perform on PBS's Lonesome Pine Special, with the stipulation that he depart from his bluegrass shtick. Fleck's response was to concoct a three-part program consisting of a banjo concerto with a string quartet, a computerized, banjo-sampling segment, and a brief jazz performance by the band that would eventually become known as the Flecktones. Response to the final segment was so enthusiastic that Fleck, still a New Grass blade, reassembled the Lonesome Pine outfit during a break and threw together a demo tape after only five days of rehearsal and five more of actual recording. That tape, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, was released by Warner Bros. in 1989, and quicker than Ol' Jed became a millionaire, Fleck became a Flecktone.
Today the Flecktones are one of the preeminent contemporary jazz bands in the country as well as one of the most eclectic and innovative. Touring in support of their latest release, UFO TOFU (a palindrome!), the Flecktones have ignited a round of debate among music lovers about how to classify their unique jazz/world beat/bluegrass/funk hybrid sound. A dim-witted local music writer who suggests that it doesn't sound like "a banjo album" is quickly upbraided by Fleck: "What do you mean? Of course it's a banjo album! All the songs were written on banjo!" When informed by the hapless writer that what he meant to say is that it didn't sound like a traditional (i.e., bluegrass) banjo album, Fleck relaxes and concurs. "It's all ethnic music, in a way. No matter if it's jazz, bluegrass, Irish, or world music, what I like to listen for is the spirit of creativity."

Moving On: John Wiggins Retires from Community
Chester, Pennsylvania, USA – June 25, 2013 – Community Professional Loudspeakers announced today that John T. Wiggins, Community's Vice President, will retire after a distinguished career spanning 41 years with the company.
Wiggins joined Community's founder, President and Chief Engineer, Bruce W. Howze in 1971 and became a partner in 1972. He has held multiple roles during his time at Community, including VP of Sales, VP of Marketing and his current position as VP of Business Development.
The quality of technical documentation of loudspeaker systems delivered by Community has been industry-leading since Wiggins provided acoustical measurements and calculations for the famous "Community White Book" published in the 1970âs. The book comprehensively detailed the directivity factor and spherical propagation characteristics of Community products, together with many competing loudspeaker products of the day.
Along with the development of electroacoustic design software like EASE, Modeler, CATT, Ulysses and others, Communityâs leadership in providing accurate loudspeaker data has been instrumental in revolutionizing the computer-aided acoustic modeling of performance venues and predicting the performance of sound systems.
In 2003, John Wiggins and Dave Howden, Community's Director of Technical Services, created the Community TAG Team, the Technical Applications Group which has become one of the pre-eminent "hands-on" audio tech teams in the industry.
Throughout his career with Community, Wiggins has worked closely with countless audio luminaries, contractors, consultants, musicians, film studios, NASA, professional sports venues, motorsport tracks, cruise ships, themed entertainment and amusement parks, and government organizations.
Wiggins is a member of SMPTE, ASA, AES, TEA, IAVM and InfoComm, and is active with NCAC and various theatrical groups. He was awarded a patent for the voice coil centering method used in one of the most powerful transducers ever manufactured, the Community M4.
Bruce Howze, Communityâs founder stated: âIt is with equal parts sorrow and joy that we accept Johnâs decision to retire. John has been a trusted partner and colleague for over 40 years and has made numerous contributions to Community. He leaves the company at a time of unprecedented achievement, much of which can be credited to his contributions. We will miss him. However, I am pleased that he is making time to pursue other passions in his life. Christine and I wish him success, health and happiness.â
Wiggins stated that he will continue to pursue several academic and professional interests.

I try to be so strong
Only cry when Im alone
I try to never give up
But sometimes I cant go on.
If I can see it coming
I can take most anything.
Its lifes nastier surprises
That have me on my knees.
When demons of my past
Come knocking on the door
I try to keep them locked outside
But theyre crawling through the floor
Im lost here in this darkened room
I used to call my mind
I need someone to save me
Or theyll kill me this time.
Where Ill be tomorrow
Is something I dont know
Cause life never seems to
Want to let me take it slow.
Without seeing the future
All I have with mes the past.
In the present Im alive still
And thats all that I can ask.
So hold me tightly close to you
Tell me everythings OK
Tell me that you love me
And I can stand another day.
You know Id never make it
Half this far all on my own.
So tell me that you love me
And Ill keep stumbling on.

Limited-edition, 44-page chapbook of 18 original poems and 18 color photographs, with letter-pressed cover and hand-stitched binding. Read more
Limited-edition, 44-page chapbook of 18 original poems and 18 color photographs, with letter-pressed cover and hand-stitched binding.
About this project
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."—Robin Williams as John Keating in Dead Poets Society
The Poet and The Book
The poems are written. The photographs are taken. The book is designed. The printer is waiting.
The poet needs YOU:
- to give some loot.
- to spread the word.
- to make this happen.
I have been writing poetry for about three years, sharing my work for free on my website and through my Telephone Pole Project. By posting poems on telephone poles around towns, I bring poetry to the streets with the aim exposing people to an art form too often relegated to circles of high-brow snobbery.
Now, I turn to a more traditional publishing method for poetry: the chapbook. And I need your assistance.
"We Must Fight to Run Away" features only original content: 18 poems and 18 color photographs, all working together to tell an unconventional and provocative tale.
The chapbook explores how words (the sound, look and feel of words combined), juxtaposed with roaming imagery, serve as an experiment in meaning. This is an organism that evolves, transforms even, only in the hands of the reader.
Production Details
Rosa Ramos, a graphic designer for the Savannah College of Art and Design, designed the 44-page book with a clean, visually appealing look.
I am working with The Soda Shop to print and bind the book, which is approximately 5-inches wide by 8-inches tall (give or take a few centimeters). The cover features a letter-pressed title and color photograph (on Duplex Cover stock), and the book's binding will be a distinctive hand-stitching along the spine. The interior of the book will be equally attractive, with a carefully chosen typeface and compelling color photographs.
As a result of this attention to detail and craftsmanship, this is a limited-edition production of 100 books, adding to the value of each.
All funds raised through this Kickstarter will go directly to chapbook production costs.
Visit my website for examples of my work, and check out the Rewards (on the right side of this page) offered for your contributions. Thank you for considering investing in this project, a couple of years in the making. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Risks and challenges
I honestly do not foresee any obstacles at this point in the project's life. The chapbook's content and layout has already been created. Once the project is funded, the files will be sent to the printer. As long as there are no issues with the files provided, and the proof from the printer is good to go, I do not anticipate any major challenges. Any hiccups or delays at this point should be minimal at worst but will be dealt with immediately to keep the project on track.

Former CVC had filed PIL seeking to quash case against him
The Supreme Court on Friday posted for final hearing in July a special leave petition filed by P.J. Thomas, former Central Vigilance Commissioner, seeking to quash the Rs. 2.8 crore palmolein import case in which he had been cited as one of the accused. The case is pending before the Special Judge, Thrissur.
A three Judge Bench of Chief Justice Altamas Kabir and Justices Vikaramaji Sen passed this order after hearing counsel for Mr. Thomas, who pleaded for urgency to post the matter for final hearing. The Bench agreed and posted the SLP for final haring in July.
Mr. Thomas submitted that he was innocent and was seriously engaged in discharge of his official duty. He said there was nothing on record to show that he had committed any offence and he was only executing a Cabinet decision as a dutiful civil servant. He said he was subjected to a lot of attacks from vested interests by making use of the media, resulting in a hostile atmosphere.
He said the special leave petition raised important questions of law, viz. whether the High Court was duty-bound to quash the proceedings pending against him in the light of the fact that on June 25, 2007, the Central Vigilance Commissioner also issued an office Memorandum stating that his case had been re-examined and it was observed that he was implementing a Cabinet decision and no loss had been caused to the State Government as alleged and no case is made out against the petitioner and based on this report he was empanelled to the Central government and held various responsible jobs. Also whether the High Court was duty-bound to quash the proceedings pending against him in the light of the fact the continuance of the trial for an alleged action, that too in discharge of his official duty, which happened more than 21 years ago, seriously violated his fundamental rights, particularly Article 21 of the Constitution, the right to speedy trial, the right to life, as the pendency of the said criminal proceedings resulting, in preventing him from taking any assignments in government service, and also resulted in serious prejudice to his personal life.

at all any recomendations.. email@example.com Thanks
I tried this with Great Value Dark. It tastes great using the tip given here. Any drip or espresso should work very well. If you like your coffee strong make sure you buy whatever brand's "Dark". The other grinds are like passing the grinds over the water hoping to get coffee.
I have the
Eco-Fill® 4-Pack Single Serve Coffee Filter & trying figure out which brand of ground coffe I tried dark a few brands but not strong at all any recomendations.. email@example.com Thanks
From what I have read the best brew is slightly finer than a drip machine, but not as fine as an espresso grind. A french press uses a much more coarse grind than a drip machine. The finer grind allows for more flavor to be extracted during the faster brewing time. That's why the french press takes so long to properly extract the flavor and oils from the larger grind.
Great solution - and it doesn't cost a cent!!
The new one does not work any better than the old. My husband keeps complaining! Right now I am happy with the k cups themselves because they are so much less expensive than star$s he used to pickup on the weekend (and he's not buying us the treats they sell!). But this fix, great as it is, does not seem to work with the new "My K-Cup" at all. Back to the drawing table. Maybe foil inside the thing with some holes.
In fact, the tip about lowering the gasket is something that shouldn't and wouldn't be necessary if Keurig gave a crap about it's target market.
I tried this with tea since that the beverage I drink and it worked great. I hate weak tea and this works great. Thanks for posting this tip.
Uhh... once again, I'm finding a life hack where someone is using plastic and heat. Granted, K-Cups are SUPPOSED to be safe for use, but re-use? I don't know about that. If you compare this with milk or water jugs, they're indicated for a maximum of one reuse. After that they leech plastic into the liquid you put in them, and that is with cold liquids! I'm scared to think that K-Cups might leech plastic from the first use, but it might be that they leech after a second or third use. Who has info on the safety of reusing K-Cups? In the life hacker "culture" as it were, people seem to have a tendency to just grab stuff and off they go to do whatever, seemingly without any real knowledge of how safe or unsafe what they're doing is much of the time. Who has actually done homework on this? Take care and be safe!
If you are worried about plastic leaching, I would recommend the Ekobrew Elite stainless steel reusable Kcup. It is 100% stainless, with the exception of a small rubber o-ring at the top. It is designed so coffee doesn't pour thrugh it as fast as the MyKCup. I tried the hack recommended in this article, but it was too messy and cumbersome. After all, you buy a Kuerig in the first place for convenience and consistancy.
According to this, there is research which demonstrates that even though the K-Cups are BPA free, there are many other chemicals that are even more bilogically active than BPA and are found in most plastics. The risks increase greatly when you apply heat. I will NOT be doing this! It simply isn't safe. As a matter of fact, I'm going to stop using the Keurig altogether. No matter what you do, using hot liquids in plastic isn't a good idea. http://www.blackriverroasters.com/k-cups-are-they-really-safe/
Thanks for the great instructable. Finally, I can have coffee strong enough to call coffee. I can't believe Keurig didn't build the my k-cup using your technology. Does it fit all Keurig models. I am using it in cuisinart with Keurig technology and it works just fine.
I experimented! I took a Kcup and sliced around the inside lip of the foil top and removed. I microwave a tiny bit of water then added it to the Kcup and steeped for 2+ minutes (don't overfill.) I put the lid only of a reusable Kcup on top. Inserted into my Keurig and brew! I use a wide mouthed cup as it is not a single stream of water. It was stronger. If the experts made this product better, we wouldn't have to do this. We should send a message and take them back to the store!
Thanks for the thorough instructions! I tried this method and it worked a little bit, however my coffee is still a little weak. Maybe I'll just stick to the regular k cups...I'm wasting this regular coffee.
Another non-messy way is to put the kcup in the machine to make the hole and don't make a cup of coffee. Then take it apart and just dump the dry coffee grounds out.
I tried this and it didn't work so well because my all in one k-cup
filter is a one piece number. (I already clean out used k-cups after I
buy them for recycling.) The reusable filter was too simply too large to fit inside. I did find that pre-ground coffee works better than grinding my own, even though the coffee looks the same. I think I'll stop being so lazy and go
back to the used k-cup and muslin filter and see if that works better. I hate that I have wasted so much very good coffee.
Great directions, but seems like a lot of extra work. An alternative way Instead would be to just peel off the top of the used K-Cup, and carefully rinse out the K-Cup leaving filter in, and taking care not to damage the filter. Then put in your favorite coffee, and cover the top with a doubled piece of tin foil (smooth it so it lays flat on the sides.) Plop is back in the regular K-Cup dispenser and enjoy a stronger cup of coffee. I tried it, and it works great. Question I have not answered yet is how many holes in the bottom of the plastic K-Cup will be too many before it stops working sufficiently . I'll keep doing it and let you all know.
Great instructable! I am intrigued by this approach, however, we have found the reusable filter to be a pain to clean. We purchased some of the paper filters but discovered the paper "lid" that is attached to them did not seem to work with the alternate cup holder due to the lack of a hole in the middle. I tried them again after making my own hole and that worked OK but was also a pain. I am thinking of trying this system but substituting the paper filter without the lid for the reusable filter to see what happens. Thanks for the info!
Have a great day to!

A bunch of kids desperate for IP ratting people out, and banning them, and RIOT actually thinks these people give a **** about "justice". There's fallacies on both sides, Riot is using the members of the tribunal to do the dirty work, and the tribunal is using Riot for IP. Regardless, I got banned for like 3 days, which really doesn't mean anything to me. Takes two seconds of my time to type in another account name and password and start playing for 3 days until the other account is unbanned. I'm just glad I was privileged to allow a few young men to grow a pair of balls for the day, kudos to you. Riot your good at hustling these children for money, but you clearly fail at your ability to supervise and monitor the game. Your scared to IP ban because that means you will lose a ton of business, and it would make cyber cafe's useless. And you don't have the resources or man hours to read over individual cases and make fair judgement. So what do you do? You "hire" unintelligent, illogical children who wet their pants over 15 IP in hopes that they can make rational decisions. Sigh, what are you spending those millions upon millions of revenue on? I don't think there is a Company as stupid as you guys, no one would put the trust of disciplinary actions on children. I wouldn't trust a 13 year old to discipline his friend, so why do you? Which ever idiot in your staff came up with the tribunal needs to have his or her head checked.

The Pisces Guy
While you could have come out and said this a different way I do agree about the tribunal being a joke.
lol at all the rage kids complaining about tribunal bans. sorry, but someone not playing up to your standards doesn't give you the right to berate them. i've yet to see a case where someone was clearly misreported. and it's not like one or people are saying you're guilty, more people are reviewing your case than that and seeing all the **** you did.
Soga no Tojiko
sigh, trolling like your doing right now just makes me even more sure that the tribunal is working as intended

I'm usually anti jewelry, but every once in a while I come across a thing or two that looks elegant. This neck-less is one of those elegant pieces. I like to have it on at about 16 inches, the length can be adjusted (unsure to what extended size). It is a very elegant piece!
February 20, 2015
so beautiful and elegant yet so versatile
I bought this necklace because like many others I was looking for something with the same finish and I do not regret it one bit. It works so well with so many looks and its not heavy at all. I have purchased other necklaces like this and they have changed colors on me but not this necklace. I've used it a few times and it still looks brand new.
January 29, 2015
Great simple silver necklace
I was looking for a silver omega necklace when I came across this necklace and decided to give it a try. I have found it to be a very versatile piece and I love the shorter length because I have to wear a lanyard with my badge at my government job. This necklace can go from work to after hours and really adds enough sparkle to any outfit.

Compliments Guaranteed!
Got this while it was on sale a while ago, I'm really glad Express is carrying it still! I wore the "Hematite" colored necklace with a navy A-shape skirt and got a ton of compliments on it! The lady at the Bloomingdale's David Yurman department even thought this was a high-end designer statement piece haha. It's in great quality with a nice weight to it, not too light or too heavy and it really makes the outfit pop!
November 10, 2014
Versatile bling!
I have always gotten compliments on this necklace--coming from everyone from co-workers to hipsters. People just seem to be mesmerized by it! It's very versatile, as it is easy to wear in both casual and dressy situations, as well as in the workplace. It is also pretty adjustable in its length to help make it easy to pair it with different neckline styles. I have had this in the silver color for several years, and it is still in excellent condition.

The Pitch: How did girlsROCK come to be?
Jillian Riscoe: girlsROCK was created after Jesse Atwell of Sony Nashville and I were throwing ideas back and forth on creating a concept show. When we created the show in spring of 2010, I had just recently been sponsored by Daisy Rock Guitars. girlsROCK is meant to support female-fronted bands and artists as well as giveaways from "rock and roll" establishments (businesses that support the music scene). The music and giveaways are all local to the city that the show is in. We wanted girlsROCK to be a whole experience in itself.
How will this event be different from the previous two?
The girlsROCK Anniversary Show is our band's homecoming show - we've been busy traveling for shows, writing, rehearsing, and have a few tricks up our sleeves for this one. Plus, after this girlsROCK show, our band will be taking it on the road for the girlsROCK national tour, which will kick off in early 2012.
Are you involved with any other organizations that support women who rock? What are some lady-fronted bands you really admire?
Daisy Rock Guitars is my guitar sponsor - they are an amazing company. Their product, staff and message are all top-notch. We had the opportunity to be represented by them and selected to play/attend NAMM in Anaheim, California, this past January, which was great to be a part of. As far as female-fronted bands? There's so many! I support women who are fearless enough to get up onstage and do their thing - whether in a band or solo.
How did you get involved with Daisy Rock Guitars? I assume the organization has helped you a bit.
My previous business manager, Jesse Atwell, now of Sony Nashville, talked to DRG, and they offered me the sponsorship. The company (and their great A&R Jennifer) has been very supportive online and offline, which is really nice to see. They are very connected and supportive of all of their sponsored artists.
You started performing at a young age.
Seven years old. I had a love for it. When you're inspired as a musician, it seems to come from a whole mix of emotions, people, situations — that's how it was for myself. I began taking piano first then switched over to voice lessons after suggestion of my teacher. I began writing at 11, then played guitar at age 12 - always performing as a singer-songwriter and really got back into guitar/piano as well when I was about 16.
You have an album, eleven:eleven, available at stores in the area. It's your first album, correct?
Since I was 10, I've been recording demos that were a mix of covers and originals, but then released eleven:eleven as my first all-original, full-length album and had the opportunity to record with producer Dave Percefull, who has recorded hometown Idol David Cook, the Nixons and Bowling for Soup. The collection of songs that were placed on eleven:eleven were a mix that I wrote over the six months before we began producing/recording the album - mainly on confusion on heartbreak in love and music business situations and the resiliency of coming out of those situations and moving forward. The album was a solo release; one month after it was released, I formed the band, and we are beginning to write for a follow-up, which will release sometime next year, and yes, the band will join me on the next one. It will be a collaborative effort, which I'm very excited about.
I suppose this is a silly question as you're a composer and a writer, but why'd you decide to join ASCAP?
As a songwriter, I wanted to make sure my songs were protected, and I went with ASCAP as my society choice. No crazy story there really, but I did go to the ASCAP "I Create Music" Expo three years ago in Hollywood and got to see some of my favorite writers and producers speak and host workshops, which was a cool learning experience.
Will it be a full band performance at RecordBar this weekend?
Yes. We've been busy traveling for shows, rehearsing and writing, and we're stoked to have a homecoming show in KC - especially with it being a girlsROCK show! ... We're excited for everyone of our friends and fans coming out to the show Saturday.
Any new tours coming up? New music? New projects?
We have several we're creating, planning and booking for. We're really excited for the girlsROCK national tour, which will kick off in 2012. Always writing - those who come out to our shows over the next few months will hear new songs throughout our sets - we're playing a couple this weekend actually. Currently, the single is "Beautiful Mess," which I had the opportunity to co-write/record with Capitol Records' rock/power-pop band Runner Runner. We'll have giveaways from Megan Marks/Hair Spray Cafe, Nicole by OPI, the bands and more ... and I can't give away everything! People will just have to come check out the show and experience it for themselves. ;)
Are the supporting bands (49 Stones, the Prolific) friends of yours?
49 Stones are very good friends of ours. We play together quite frequently. They've been a part of girlsROCK for all the shows so far, and we've traveled together for shows such as Rock 4 Heart & Home (our series of Joplin benefit concerts in Joplin, Missouri) over the summer. We're stoked to have them once again - they put on a great show! This will be our first time playing with the Prolific. We're excited to have them on the bill as well!
Jillian Riscoe and the 21st Century, 49 Stones and the Prolific play RecordBar Saturday, August 13. Show starts at 10 p.m. and goes until 1 a.m. Cover $7. 18-plus.

Devious Journal Entry
Poke Buff part 3As Ash slept, his body began to change. Slowly his muscles began to expand. His biceps inflated up to the size of baseballs, filling the sleeves of his t-shirt completely. His triceps and forearms bulged to finish out his growing arms. His shoulders lengthened along with his traps to give him a slight v-taper. Ashs pecs swelled up, pressing into his shirt and could be seen vividly. Also, although they were hidden underneath his shirt, his abs were beginning to become more defined as the muscle grew and almost every ounce of fat melted away from his body. Finally, in order to balance off the added weight from his upper body, Ashs thighs and calves ballooned to accommodate his larger torso.Ash woke up that morning with a deep yawn and a stretch of his new muscles. His first realization of the day was the distinct lack of Pikachus weight at his feet where he normally slept. A quick look at the clock next to his bed revealed that is was only 5 o clock in the mornin
Poke Buff part 5Ash woke up the next morning with intense excitement as the only thing he could see was a mountain of flesh. He leaped out of bed only to smack his head on the top of the eight-foot ceiling, leaving a small crack in it. He ducked down enough to where only the tip of his head was up against the ceiling. He quickly made his way into the bathroom where, thankfully, the ceiling was a bit higher so he could stand up to his full height. He turned the corner to where the full-length mirrors stood and spied Pikachu already checking himself out.Pikachu stood at a full two feet tall with a back almost as wide as he was tall. Ash could see that, just like him, Pikachu was sporting biceps that were almost twice the size of his head and pecs sticking out a good way in front of his chest, causing a shadow over his abs. His legs looked like small trees were sprouting underneath his massive torso. Ash took a stance behind Pikachu and admired his new muscles. He looked like Pikachu, only taller and wi
Poke Buff part 2Ash woke up feeling better than he had ever felt. Last night he had fallen asleep right away after his exhausting ordeal with Professor Roy and Team Rocket. Normally after a day like that he would still feel tired the next day, but today was different. Ash hopped out of bed and found himself and Pikachu to be the first awake.Hey Pikachu, how about you and me go down stairs and see what they have to eat for breakfast? Im starving!Pika!Ash quickly got dressed. As he pulled on his black t-shirt, he noticed that the sleeves of his shirt seemed to press a bit more against his arm that usual. Also, the collar of his shirt felt like it was just a slight bit tighter. He noticed the same feeling with both his jeans and vest. Thinking nothing of it, and putting it off as being only in his mind, he began walking towards the door, and Pikachu took his usual spot on Ashs shoulder.Pikachu, have you put on a little weight last night? You feel heavier than yesterday.&

MHS Devils clinch home field advantage in playoffs
By Staff Reports Published 6:58pm Monday, April 9, 2012Maplesville won first place in its baseball area on a two-run double in the 10th inning on April 6 against Verbena.
Trent Smitherman's hit with no outs and the bases loaded produced a 9-7 win and earned Maplesville (11-9) the right to host in the first round of the Class 1A state playoffs.
The two local sets of Red Devils had split their first two meetings of the season, 9-8 Verbena on April 3—despite Maplesville leading 8-6 going into the bottom of the seventh inning—and 10-0 Maplesville in the first game of a doubleheader on April 6.
In that game, Maplesville pitcher Colby Chambers allowed only one hit in six innings of work while striking out nine batters.
Zack Bush, Smitherman and Trevor Wallace all went 2-for-3 at the plate. Smitherman scored two runs and drove in two runs, while Bush and Wallace each recorded one run and one RBI.
In the nightcap, Aron Smitherman earned the win on the mound in relief of Jared White.
White struck out nine batters in seven innings pitched, while Aron Smitherman struck out nine of the 11 batters he faced in three innings, allowing only one hit.
Aron Smitherman also went 3-for-5 at the plate with a two-run double.
Smitherman, White and Fuquay Seales also each had 3-for-5 days. White had a double and scored two runs, and Seales scored one run and drove in two.
"For a region championship game, you couldn't ask for a better atmosphere," MHS coach Brandon Shanks said. "It was a good experience for our guys that I hope we can carry over into the playoffs."

The American Lung Association is a voluntary health organization whose mission is to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease.[1]
The organization was founded in 1904 to fight tuberculosis as the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis by Edward Livingston Trudeau, Robert Hall Babcock, Henry Martyn Hall, Lawrence Flick, and S. Adolphus Knopf. Earlier in 1892 Flick had founded the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, the world's first society dedicated to the prevention of TB. NASPT was Renamed the National Tuberculosis Association (NTA) in 1918, and then the National Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association (NTRDA) in 1968, it adopted its current name in 1973. Taglines included, "It's a matter of life and breath," "When you can't breathe, nothing else matters" and currently, "Fighting for Air"
In 1907, the Lung Association began their Christmas Seal campaign to raise money for a small TB sanatorium in Delaware. Emily Bissell, a Red Cross volunteer at the time, created holiday seals to sell at the post office for a penny a piece. By the end of her fundraising campaign, she had raised more than ten times the amount needed to save the sanatorium and the tradition of Christmas Seals was born[2]
The Association is a defender of the Clean Air Act and "Fighting for Healthy Air".
A modified version of the Cross of Lorraine serves as the Lung Association's logo. The Paris, France, physician Gilbert Sersiron suggested its use in 1902 as a symbol for the "crusade" against tuberculosis. The double barred cross was originally used in the coat of arms of Godfrey of Bouillon, Duke of Lower Lorraine, a leader of the first crusade and elected ruler of Jerusalem after its capture in 1099.[3][4]
The American Lung Association is a public health organization funded by contributions from individual donors, corporations, foundations and government agency grants. Detailed financial statements are available in their Annual Report which is made public online every year. One of its best-known fund-raising campaigns is its Christmas Seals program, which has been an annual fundraising and public awareness tool for tuberculosis and lung disease since 1907.
Notable participants[edit]
The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis held their ninth annual meeting in Washington D.C., May 8 and 9, 1913. In attendance were Association President Homer Folks, Honorary Vice President Theodore Roosevelt, Vice Presidents Robert Hall Babcock, Sir William Osler and Edward R. Baldwin, Treasurer William H. Baldwin, Secretary Henry Barton Jacobs. Notable life members included Andrew Carnegie, Henry C. Frick, Mrs. H. Knickerbocker, Louis Marshall, Francis E. May, Cyrus H. McCormick, Henry Phipps, John D. Rockefeller, Rodman Wanamaker, Felix M. Warburg. The association members recommended a public health committee be formed by The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and be officially sanctioned by the United States House of Representatives. In addition, they adopted the double red cross emblem formally as the symbol for the association and its fight against tuberculosis. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis executive offices were located at 105 East 22nd Street, New York, New York.[5]
Henry Martyn Hall of Pittsburgh, PA is one of the ten original founders and was honored at the 50th Anniversary Annual Meeting of the National Tuberculosis Association at Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1954.[6]
U.S. President Grover Cleveland was an honorary vice president from 1905 to 1908; U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt was an honorary vice president from 1905 to 1919.[7]

"Stick to the writing, Adriana!"
No. I only re-listen to especially good books that are extremely well written. This book does not measure up to that level.
None that I can think of.
Any actress with skills for reading audio books. Almost anyone other than the writer. Stick to the writing, Adriana. Leave the reading to those who do it well.
"Bad book."
Disappointing. Disjointed, Depressing. I struggled through the whole book only to conclude that I had wasted a great deal of time on very little.
"The minority report."
I'm pleased to see that the several other reviewers of "The Neighbor" enjoyed the book so much. I found it to be a crashing bore. All of the characters just felt so damned sorry about themselves that their whining simply drove all interest and involvement straight away. I finally started skipping along just to see how the "plot" worked out. I should not have bothered.
"2,220 well-invested minutes!"
Did I really want to listen to a 37 hours and 1 minute biography of Warren Buffett? He's a fascinating person, of course, but 2,220 minutes? I'm 75 now -- that's a big investment of my remaining minutes.
Well I clicked the "purchase" button and got hit with a five part download. I transferred it to hundreds (it seemed) of CD's and left for work. Luckily it's a 45 minute drive. 49.3 one-way trips. I could handle it!
I quickly got hooked. A generally (needed a touch more editing for a few redundencies) well written biography on basically a good man. It's not a gloss-job. The warts are in there too. I give Buffett credit for his cooperation in producing this biography, warts and all.
Really an excellent book and a fascinating subject!
"Rome must have been more exciting than this."
Having recently enyoyed Ken Follett's "World Without End", I figured, "Let's see what living in ancient Rome was like."
I found some of Saylor's explanations for many myths, gods, and legends as originating from ignorance, over-interpretation, and sometimes, just plain chicanery most amusing. My problem with the book, and what has frankly stopped me part of the way through, is the writing. It is so simplistic that I felt I was reading a children's book -- or at least a young adult's book.
Mildly interesting but numbingly simplistic -- just not enough excitement in Roma.
"Seek out "Hide"!"
The first line of Lisa Gardner's "Hide" catches your attention right away. Definitely better than "It was a dark and stormy night." No plot or character discussion here, but suffice to say that the first hour of the book after that first line hook keeps you careening along.
There are a few slower moments scattered about, but all-in-all this book is a real page turner, word listener, or a CD switcher (your choice). Much of the credit also goes to the reader, the aptly named Maggi-Meg Reed.
I've seen some criticism of the ending -- which may not be the book's strongest point -- but by my standards the book hung together right through the slightly convoluted ending. Good book!
I'm going to squeak out five stars for this one.
"Am I the only one . . ."
OK! Am I the only one who thinks that the latter Steven King books have become wordy, predictable, and – frankly – a bit boring? Unfortunately, it seems to me that Joe Hill has learned at the knee of the latter (father) Steven King, not the early (daddy) Steven King.
The opening scenes of Heart Shaped Box were excellent. I have been around for many, many years and I find few books, films, etc. to be pleasantly scary. The opening of this book was excellent. It was scary. But then, the story settled into repetitious scenes, much ghost-babble, uninteresting flash backs, etc. In fact, words, words, words.
I once accused an author of writing as if he were paid by the word. The same thought occurred to me while reading this book. "Get on with it, man!"
I found this book to be ultimately boring. (Pre-thanks to the one or two of you who will agree with me.) Oh, yes – good reader!
"Please, Dr. Kellerman . . ."
Please, Dr. Kellerman, stop, pause, get your writing steam back before attacking your next book. Rage was pitiful. The entire story takes place in the first quarter of the book. Then it is talk, talk, talk. I have read here that this talk cleverly reveals two bright criminologists, Alex and Milo, working their way to a solution of the case. Sorry, but no!
Three quarters of the book is little more than repetitive conversations going over and over and over the minimal facts that actually exist in this tissue-thin plot.
And then Dr. Kellerman's editor called just before his dinner reservation was coming up, so -- he ended the book.
Thank God for John Rubenstein and his magnificent reading. Almost as great a master, in his own way, as his dad.
"Sorry again -- I have a second thought!"
One last comment. Have we been had? Who is writing these Frankenstein books anyway?
Book I ? Dean Koontz AND Kevin J. Anderson
Book II ? Dean Koontz AND Ed Gorman
Try a Google on these second bananas and see what they have been writing. I am getting terminally wary of these Big Name Writer AND No Name Writer books.
I think we need a little truth in authorship, guys.
"Consider that rating to be 3.33 stars!"
I really don't want to be negative about this book because I essentially liked it. Excellent -- and unusual -- plot ideas. Good writing. Interesting characters (most of them, anyway). Absolutely first rate reading by Robin Miles, the female Scott Brick.
I've seen Tananarive Due compared to Steven King in other reviews here. It strikes me as a valid comparison, but not always in a positive way. Ms. Due's story-telling is, I think, actually better than the latter Steven King's. Unfortunately her use of words -- words -- words is most definitely comparable to Mr. King. As an example, the scene of Angie in the woods is needlessly repetitive and goes on way too long.
I try to avoid listening to abridged books. I would much rather have a novel written to the optimum (not necessarily shorter) length through the author's own editing process.
OK! Enough of my own words. Good book! About a third too long! Let's see. Five stars times 66.6 equals 3.33 stars. That's my rating.
