The Blackthorne AR15 rifle has a rather poor reputation in the online community. Forums across the net are littered with posts asking "Should I buy a Blackthore AR15?" with a mountain of responses explaining how the Blackthorne AR15 is all but a pile of scrap metal not worth the cost to ship it.
Most of these post come from people that have a friend who used to own one, or saw one jam up at a range, or heard some expert at the gunshop talk bout them, but these responses rarely ever come from someone who has actually owned one. So let's take an unbiased look at this company with the less than stellar reputation.
First off we need to understand one very important thing ……. Blackthorne is not an AR manufacturer, they are an AR assembler, they buy parts in bulk from other companies and assemble the upper receiver assemblies, then ship the to the customers, thats it, thats all they do.
Second, we need to understand where they buy their parts from, and I think some of the answers may suprise you. Lets take a look at a standard M4 style Blackthorne kit, just a basic model and see what parts are used.
Upper receiver – LMT blemished or LAR Grizzly
Barrel – ER Shaw, Mossberg or Wilson
Lower parts kit – DPMS, CMMG or D.D.
Bolt Carrier Assembly – DPMS or Wilson
Handguards – Tapco or similar
Now it took alot of research to find out what parts Blackthorne uses, since most companies don't want people knowing that you can get their parts cheaper through another company, also you have to understand that whatever parts you get will be dependent on what they have in stock at the time your kit is being put together.
So as we can see while not extremely high end parts are used, they are parts from reputable companies that I think most of us trust.
So where does Blackthorne's bad reputation come from? Well first off the fact that they've been known by a couple of other names and their reputation was just as bad then as it is now doesn't help, but the real problem behind their reputation comes because of their quality control.
Remember Blackthorne is just an assembler and shipper of parts, and because of that you'd think they'd be able to do that one thing well, but unfortunately it can be hit or miss. I've seen everything from a improperly staked gas key to an improperly tightened barrel, and with things like that happening it's easy to see why they have the reputation they do.
But let's look at the upside.
The standard Blackthorne parts kit cost $420 without the stripped lower receiver and includes everything you'll need to build a rifle and it ships free. So depending on what lower you buy you can walk away having only spent $520 bucks on a complete AR15 built using quality parts. To put that into context, buying the same parts Blackthorne uses yourself would cost you somewhere in the neighborhood of $500 to $550 bucks depending on where you buy, so by ordering from them you can save $100 or more and have some of the parts assembled.
Bottom line.
If you don't mind tweaking a rifle a bit if some of the assembly wasn't up to par and you want to save money on quality parts to get a good rifle for a budget price, then Blackthorne is for you. Otherwise spend the extra $200 to $400 on a DMPS or BCM and call it a day.


text: Since the dawn of time, the concept of masculinity has been discreetly embedded into the subconscious of young male adolescents as they eventually mature into adult gentlemen. Indoctrinated in the principles of all things manly, the discernment between masculinity and femininity progressively sharpens over time. Armed with new insight, a concerted effort is made to project the manliest appearance possible. And so, a gentleman meanders through his sartorial life, unknowingly rejecting specific aspects of dress because they may be deemed as slightly effeminate. But that ideology has started to change. The modern gent is embracing a variety of elegant details that oppose his traditional education in masculinity. This week, we're going to examine one of those details — the floral print. Yes, a guy can rock a floral pattern and still be a full-blooded male. Here is how a gentleman can incorporate a floral flourish in his presentation without participating in an exercise of self-emasculation.

AN ECO-friendly science block could be built at a school near Hook.
Daneshill School, a co-educational preparatory school in Stratfield Turgis, has applied to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council to build a single-storey science block within its grounds.
The building would have a photovoltaic panel and solar water heating panel on the roof of one of the classrooms, to reduce the building's carbon footprint by helping to provide towards the electricity and hot water usage within the school.
The 204.1 sq m block would replace timber, non-insulated storage sheds and a music block between the main school building and the headmaster's house.
The application states: "The school places great emphasis on the practical, investigative approach in science, encouraging pupils to develop an enthusiastic, enquiring mind. The practical work is not only a fun way of learning, but also enhances children's understanding of science concepts.
"The existing facilities provide very limited space and scope to make the most of this practical approach to teaching the science curriculum.
"The science rooms are an inappropriate size and proportion, especially due to the school's dedication to offer improved teaching on green and sustainable topics. The proposed science block would offer a new backdrop and larger spaces for the science lessons and experiments."
The building would include two science classrooms, a chemical storeroom and preparation area, class storeroom, entrance lobby and plant room. The central spine of the building would have a sedum roof, to provide ecological benefits including enhancing air quality, providing a microclimate for wildlife and improving insulation of the roof.
The green roof, photovoltaic and solar panels would also be used as a tool for teaching and promoting environmental and sustainable concepts and technologies to the children.

Epson Home Cinema 5010 Home Theater Projector Review
Epson Home Cinema 5010 Black Levels & Shadow Detail
In 2D, this Epson Home Cinema 5010, has the best black levels we've seen, short of some JVC projectors that start not far below $8000! That's pretty impressive considering it's about 1/3 the price. (That's like a Toyota Camry performing rivaling a BMW 7 series). The dynamic iris, which has two modes, is one of the best ones out there, in terms of not being noticeable, except rarely. Further, Epson really pushes the range of the iris, part of their trick to unmatched blacks using a dynamic iris.
The other aspect is that the Epson LCD panels C2Fine, D9 – their newest, inherently have rather impressive black level/contrast, even without using the iris.
We start with the usual starship image from The Fifth Element. (we are converting most of them to grayscale for easier comparison) going forward, so some of the others are in color, some in greyscale. All are intentially overexposed so you can see the "black levels" as dark grey backgrounds, and in the letterbox area. If two projectors have similar brightness letterboxes, then the one where the projector looks the most overexposed is the one with the best blacks…
This one is included to make the point, that a lot more money doesn't mean any significant improvement in black levels. Think, instead that other things become more important.

Day Three
Kate's House
30.09.2012 - 30.09.2012
Took a bit of a rest day today. Went for a lovely walk in a forest near here with Kate and the dogs. Did some research into buying tickets for the play
War Horse. Did some calling around re. renting a car later in the month. Kate is taking Neil for a practice drive tomorrow morning to see how he feels driving a car on the left side of the road. Figured out where to see some Monet paintings (National Gallery) Read some more of my book, The Kingmaker's Daughter. I have definitely decided that I'm a book person. Reading a book on an iPad gets tiring. I'm guessing that it may be because I'm looking at a screen all the time. Then there's the issue of needing to re-charge the iPad on a regular basis. The weather here was quite stormy in the afternoon. Sorry the pictures didn't make it onto the blog post yesterday. I'm going to have to figure it out, but not tonight. Going into the City of London tomorrow for the first time.

Smokey Valor: Carnival Valor Cruise Review by cruisngator
Overall Member Rating
Smokey Valor
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
I'll begin with the cons of the Valor:
*Embarkation was a little slow and the line was very long. We were given the wrong information when we entered the terminal and it made us have to wait even longer. I think there needs to be a little more organization in this department. *The entertainment is not very good. I would love to see more actual family friendly shows with modest costumes and appropriate language for children. We went to one of the comedy shows that was rated PG and said to be family friendly. I'm glad we didn't have our children with us because the comedians swore almost every other word and used More some very questionable material that wasn't appropriate. I would love for them to bring in more Broadway style shows.
*The main areas of the ships were very smokey! I didn't want to go to the shops or photo gallery because it stunk so bad like smoke. People were lighting up everywhere! It was awful to walk past the casino. I wish they would have passed out gas masks. I think its ridiculous! I think they should have fewer designated rooms that have closed doors for smokers. I know- to each their own, but I think that would be more considerate to nonsmokers. Ok- I've stepped off my soapbox :)
*There were limited babysitting hours for children under 2 and it didn't coincide with Camp Carnival.
The Pros of sailing on the Valor:
*The food! We've been on 5 cruises and we thought the food on the Valor was the best. We looked forward to dinner every night because we always loved what was served. That's pretty good considering half of my family are picky eaters.
*Camp Carnival is awesome! My children looked forward to going everyday. There was a variety of activities and so they loved it!
*We loved the itinerary! Grand Cayman- This was a fabulous port! The 7 mile beach is gorgeous! We had to take a quick tendered ride to the port, but once we were there we took a taxi to Seagrape Beach. It was so beautiful and clean!
Roatan, Honduras- My husband and I took a cab ride around the island and went to visit West Bay Beach. It was such a nice beach. Once we were back at the port, we picked up our children from Camp Carnival and took them and Grandpa and Grandma to the beach on Mahogany Bay. It was nice, but not as beautiful as West Bay.
Belize City, Belize- I will have to say that I was really nervous about this port due to many of the bad reviews I had read. I had researched and finally found the perfect excursion- Manatee Watch, Reef Snorkeling, and Bannister Island Break on www.coralbreezetours.com. My expectations were surpassed. This was by far one of the best shore excursions we have ever been on. The company is Hammerhead Water Sports and they were waiting for us once we arrived at the port. They first took a group to Bannister Island by boat and dropped them off. We then headed by boat out to the reef which was about 5-10 minutes away from the island. There they took 3 of my children and my husband and another couple on a snorkeling tour of the reef. The leader showed them marine life and many exciting things on the reef. It was such a neat experience for my children. We then headed back to Bannister Island for a couple of hours. This is a beautiful beach! It was so clean and nice. Finally, our small group left and we went to the Manatee Reserve. We watched for manatees and dolphins for about 45 minutes. It was so much cheaper going through this company than through the cruise line. I would highly recommend it!
Cozumel, Mexico- We visited Nachi Cocum because it was so highly recommended. I was a little disappointed because the beach wasn't very clean and there were ants everywhere! But the food and snorkeling were fabulous and so we were able to still have a good time.
I would love to cruise this itinerary again because we loved all of the places!
Overall, we had a great time. I will cruise Carnival again because they have great prices, but I am ready to try another cruise line. Less

text: Exactly a year after the release of his last super-hit Partner, Govinda would be making his return to the silver screen with Money Hai To Honey Hai. While Partner had released on 20th July last year, Money Hai To Honey Hai arrives on 25th July this year. What makes Mhthh special is the fact that tables have turned for Govinda in the year gone by. While Govinda did have a success in the form of Bhagam Bhag behind him, it was stated as an Akshay Kumar success. And later when he came up with a heartfelt performance in Salaam E Ishq, the films box office failure hampered his progress. This made Partner as a film that created more curiosity due to Salman Khan in the film and also David Dhawan pairing up with the two stars. The film was a huge success and resulted in Govinda being back in prominence all over again. Now with Mhthh, Govinda is riding high with his comeback success that has resulted in the films publicity being centered primarily around him. Even though this Kumar Mangat production is a multi starrer with Aftab Shivdasani, Upen Patel, Celina Jaitley and Manoj Bajpai being the part of the project, one can see Govinda dominating the promotional campaign all over. Directed by friend Ganesh Acharya, the film is one of the many films where Govinda would be seen in the coming months. After this comedy entertainer, he would feature in Ravi Chopra directed Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai before the close of the year.

Triburnium was a metalic alloy used in Enolian hand-restraints.
Kuroda Lor-ehn had subdermal implants, which were capable of depolarizing triburnium alloys, implanted into his wrists so that he could disable his retrains so to implement his daring plan to hijack the Enolian transport that was transporting him to Canamar. (ENT: "Canamar")
In the final draft script of "Canamar", this term wasn't written; the word "tech" was used instead, indicating it was to be substituted later.

Art Pope's constellation.
The John Locke Foundation, based in Raleigh, is part of conservative businessman and state budget director Art Pope's constellation of free-market, anti-government groups. Its critique of Duke Energy was more muted—but no longer.
We'll get to the main story in a moment, but first we have to relish Bob Geary's turn of a phrase: "Art Pope's constellation of free-market, anti-government groups". We appreciate good writing, and Geary is a consistent source of it. This particular phrase is, in our estimation, just about perfect. Well done Bob!
And now what Bob's getting at:
What could possibly be wrong with one company supplying the electricity to 95 percent of our state? One company that is both public utility and shareholder-owned: Captive customers pay the bills and the company makes all the campaign contributions it wants.
Sure, a few critics howled. But they were easily dismissed, and soon a former Duke Energy staffer named Pat McCrory was elected governor. Duke was riding high.
Then a pipe broke in Eden on Feb. 2.
And you know what came next. Coal ash poured into the Dan River from one of Duke Energy's ash pits. Old toxic holes in the ground that Duke (and Progress) should've been required to clean up long ago, except that North Carolina regulators don't tell Duke what to do, Duke tells them.
As for the
star black hole in Art Pope's constellation, politics makes strange bedfellows:
And in some quarters, we're hearing the question asked: Wouldn't North Carolina be better off, and have lower electricity rates, if we allowed competition in the market and stopped protecting Duke's monopoly?
NC WARN and the John Locke Foundation, two groups vastly different in their political philosophies, have been asking that question of each other, each believing the answer to be yes.
Yep, Duke Energy & Pollution has become a pariah. Even the pro-business Pope constellation is less than thrilled with Duke's actions (admittedly, we expect, more because Duke Energy & Pollution reflects badly on Art & Pat than because they have genuine concerns about the environment or monopolies), joining long-time critics of the dirty energy giant.
Duke Energy & Pollution still has its defenders and butt kissers, but their numbers are greatly diminished.
Yes, people are pissed at Duke Energy & Pollution.
If there are awards for progressives who make a real difference through intelligence and persistence, Indyweek and Bob Geary definitely deserve some.
"I will have a priority on building relationships with the minority caucus. I want to put substance behind those campaign speeches." -- Thom Tillis, Nov. 5, 2014
Consistent voice of reason
Bob is one of the jewels when it comes to analyzing NC's political landscape. He's not bogged down by the desire to be seen as neutral or balanced, he just calls 'em like he sees 'em. Wish we had more like that,

If so, along comes the old-fashioned, special effects-driven disaster movie "Into the Storm" (Warner Bros.) to prove you wrong.
Essentially a found-footage "Poseidon Adventure" for the landlocked, director Steven Quale's film, as scripted by John Swetnam, does boast helpful touches of humor as well as such unimpeachable values as family solidarity and life-at-stake altruism. Still, the intensity of the building peril -- together with the vocabulary it elicits from the cast -- makes this ride on the whirlwind best for fully-grown thrill seekers.
Pity the small Midwestern burg of Silverton. Not only is it in the crosshairs of an unprecedented series of havoc-wreaking twisters, it's also a town without a state, at least as far as Swetnam's geographically coy screenplay is concerned. Are we or are we not in Kansas anymore? Enquiring minds want to know!
Be that as it may, Toto, Silverton is home to widower Gary Fuller (Richard Armitage) and his two teenage sons, Donnie (Max Deacon) and Trey (Nathan Kress). Alas for the lads, especially Donnie, Gary is the vice principal of the high school they both attend. He's also demanding and emotionally aloof, which leads to the odd intergenerational skirmish.
When not squabbling with Dad or pining for his seemingly unattainable schoolmate Kaitlyn (Alycia Debnam-Carey), Donnie occupies his time videotaping everything in sight, a predilection that allows Quale to go (mostly) hand-held. Quale gets additional aid to that end from a crew of professional storm chasers who arrive on the scene just in time to commit Silverton's impending demolition to pixels.
They're led by peevish documentarian Pete Moore (Matt Walsh). Pete is on edge because he and the gang have been wandering the countryside for a year without bankable results, a failure for which he blames their brainy meteorologist, Allison Stone (Sarah Wayne Callies).
Even if he is on the professional and monetary skids, though, Pete ought to console himself with the thought that the steel-plated, tank-like vehicle in which he pursues unsettled conditions hither and yon across the heartland is one uber-cool ride.
Naturally, Gary's boss -- who doesn't seem to spend much time watching the Weather Channel -- insists on holding graduation outside. And naturally Donnie and Kaitlyn, with whom he's finally connected, end up -- for reasons far too complicated to bother with -- in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of town where all manner of rusty debris is just waiting to fall on and entrap them.
Well, at least it makes for a memorable first date.
The film contains occasional grim violence and pervasive menace, a few sexual references, a couple of uses of profanity and frequent crude and crass language. The Catholic News Service classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

I am currently 3 weeks post-op and feel great. I just received before/after photos from doc and what a difference!
I strongly believe the right doctor is imperative. Unlike necessary surgery, cosmetic surgery is all about relationship, communication, respect and confidence.
For example: I had an emergency c-section performed by the on-call doctor I had never met. I got lucky that he was a great surgeon which led to a "beautiful" and tiny scar. But even if he had not been a great surgeon and my scar had been ugly I would have accepted it as a fair compromise for a healthy baby!
If my PS and I had not liked each other, had regular misunderstandings about goals/procedures etc. I would not have respected her nor would I have had any confidence that I would have received my desired outcome and there is no way I would have gone ahead with the surgery!
I was really lucky in that my PS was recommended by 3 doctors and about 4 laywomen so I was confident that she was a good PS going into my initial consultation. I interviewed 3 docs, all recommended, and the one I went with was right in the middle on price.
I had a mini tt, breast lift and lipo on inner thighs. Although most women who've had children are full tt candidates I decided on a mini for a variety of reasons including: not wanting a scar from hip to hip, not needing muscle repair and automatically getting a little upper tummy lift with the breast lift.
I'm 36, 5'2 and about 115lbs. I workout, moderately, but would never be able to achieve a flatter lower abdomen from exercise/diet. Nor would I ever have had perky rounded breasts after pregnancy, breast feeding and gravity! That being said I didn't want to try and have a perfectly flat midriff, I didn't want larger breasts. I wanted to look as fit as I really am and I wanted to feel more comfortable in and out of clothes.
Goals achieved!
My actual surgery took around 5 hours. My wonderful doctor canceled the surgery after mine while performing mine. When the nurse called to update my husband around 3 hours she explained that the doc was being very meticulous and was also able to get to some of the upper abdomen fat and therefore cut it out instead of doing lipo which took longer.
My recovery has been quick and easy. Being that I did not have a full tt I was able to stand upright the day after surgery. I was off of pain meds within 48 hours. I still have 35 oxycodones out of 40! The actual feel of recovery has been more soreness rather than pain.
In conclusion my advice would be this:
1. Know what your goals are and be realistic
2. Educate yourself
3. Find a great PS
4. Wear good quality compression garments.....all the time for as long as required!
5. Follow directions explicitly!
6. Have lots of help for the lifting, pulling, pushing limitations
Cosmetic surgery is an investment. And because of that I don't want to mess it up. It's a bit of a pain to wear the compression gear for weeks 24/7, it's hard to not pick up my 2 yo but I don't want to waste $8,000 or have to go back into surgery!
I'm so very pleased with my outcome and feel I will continue to be happier and happier as everything settles. I hope the same for all who choose a mommy makeover!

WSJ sources confirm one-glass 5.2" Full HD display for the LG Optimus G2
0. phoneArena posted on 17 Jul 2013, 07:34
People "familiar with the matter" have confirmed for the Wall Street Journal that LG will indeed be placing a 5.2" display on a device destined to be called Optimus G 2. The publication continues that this might indeed be the same "world's slimmest" 1920x1080 pixels LCD panel that LG bragged about developing recently.
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

I don't think this would make a drastic difference..
10. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Drastic? No. Something that adds to the slimmer design? Yes. It's all the little things that make a phone great, LG is on the right path to restore my faith in them. Especially if this ends up being the next Nexus model as well.
15. Maaaaaaaaster (Posts: 21; Member since: 19 Apr 2012)
It wont be. Clearly, in the video there is the LG UI. Plus, Google now owns Motorola, why would it want LG to make its next Nexus?
17. evil_slayer (Posts: 50; Member since: 23 Nov 2011)
i think he meant that if this would be the same case of LG optimus g and the nexus 4(same specs except from the cam,and the two shared the back pattren/design)
it actually would be great if nexus 5 came with the same specs as the G2,i mean with the amazing specs and google price,it would make a killer phone,and i think its likely to happen.
and reagarding google owning moto,as they previously stated owning moto will not mean favoring them among other manufacturers,so if they choose moto to make the next nexus(which i really,really wish it happen) it wont be becase they bought them
we'll see how things turn out

LG is rumored to do the next Nexus phone and like the G/N4 the G2/N5 rebranding is possible.
The Moto X will go cheap on it's own, without the Nexus branding, again according to rumors.

I want to see more smartphones with slimmer screens so they can incorporate bigger batteries instead of putting in octa cores quad is enough for most people and they can perform well and what app uses 8 cores at a time i dont think its needed imo.
5. boosook (Posts: 1442; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
you don't know exactly how the octa core processor works, right? ;-)
6. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
It's pretty simple really. The octacore uses its eight eyes to see what you're trying to look up, and then it uses multithreading technology to spin the Web.
11. apple4never (Posts: 1064; Member since: 08 May 2013)
i do know how they work, 4 low power cores are used when your surfing the web etc and 4 high power cores for when heavy duty gaming or something, but its hard for app designers to code 4 parallel cores my thought would be a dualcore s8 at 2ghz and and a dual s4 at 1.5ghz as a high power low power so you still have space for a capable battery and its easier to core but still has power

LG is definitely on the right track, and the G2 looks like a pretty slick design. I'm still not sold on the volume rocker/power button on the back, but at least they're trying to push the design envelope a bit.
9. pyradark (Posts: 884; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
what design are they pushing?? that is a copier of s4 and nexus
they even trying so hard that's why they left behind
13. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
And Samsung copied that basic design from Apple, who copied it from LG or Sony depending on who you believe. The rounded-off rectangle is what works for touchscreens. Of the major manufacturers, only Sony and Nokia (and to a lesser extent Motorola) buck the trend. So let's focus instead on what you can do within the confines of a rounded rectangle: refine the screen size, bezels, speakers, and buttons.

well theres not really another shape you can give a smartphone, like a sphere or prism maybe lol
22. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
My point was that the "copier of s4" complaint above is unfounded. Yes, there have been LGs that look like Galaxys (the G Pro is very similar to the look of the Note), but otherwise I don't think it's true. You could say the same of HTC designs, but at least HTC found a way to tweak the usual roundy rectangle a bit with its dual front speakers.

WOW! And here's why they put the buttons on the back of the phone: there's almost no bezel, so there's no room to put them on either side. Great design by LG!
25. vincelongman (Posts: 5082; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)
The side bezels like about the same as the Xperia ZL and Galaxy S4. I think they still could have put them on the sides. I think I would prefer them on the sides, but I haven't used them, so I'll wait and see.
I think the side bezels are about the prefect size for phones, since I find it easier to hold with tiny bezels. Also the thinner screen means they can squeeze a bigger battery in.

Doubtful about the ergonomic use of the alleged back volume rocker. Rather they could have gone for touch sensitive back panel. But the volume rocker may serve as a good idea for zoom in/out button for pictures and videos.

Why do I feel like LG optimus g pro looks a lot like samesung note 2(on the front) . . .and lg optimus g2 looks like shamesung galaxy s4? not sure . . just my opinion . . . btw the screen is amazing on the g2 unlike the oversaturated and unnatural-looking colors on the samoled
16. lovefist (unregistered)
i agree, its sad that LG designs their 2013 phones with a whole lot of samsung flavor. but that bezel is so damn thin, it's actually very pretty.

This will be the next NEXUS 5 coming out in Oct! Can't wait!!!

Stiit wont sell better out of korea....lg better come up with good design
Samsung and you suck in design
19. roldxx (Posts: 50; Member since: 27 Mar 2013)
sony should learn from lg how to minimize bezels
23. HeWhoDoesNothing (Posts: 158; Member since: 15 Jul 2013)
Seriously. That Sony Honami leak totally shows off how unattractive and space consuming those edges are. It really put me off.
26. vincelongman (Posts: 5082; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)
I thought Sony learnt after they release the Xperia ZL and specifically mentioned the tiny bezels, and claimed they were the smallest. But the Honami leaks suggest other whys, I am very disappointed. I hope the real Honami is different and more like the Xperia ZL.
27. HeWhoDoesNothing (Posts: 158; Member since: 15 Jul 2013)
I think those leaks are pretty accurate, unfortunately. Those bezels will be humongous and Ikr? I thought they learned with the ZL. It seems that isn't the case...

Riverton girl a finalist in TV contest
Abigail Larsen, of Riverton, has been selected to represent Wyoming for the first-ever nationwide Halloween costume competition hosted by the Hub Network. The winners will be revealed on the "Hub Network's First Annual Halloween Bash" from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday.
Larsen is competing in the Blast from the Past category. She is one of 50 semi-finalists chosen from each state.
The semi-finalists will travel to Los Angeles to be a part of the televised costume competition judged by Halloween-expert Martha Stewart, actor Hal Sparks, and actress, singer and dancer Coco Jones. One winner will take home $25,000 and have a chance at a walk-on role on "R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series."
Documentary to be screened
Robin Poor Bear, an Oglala Sioux and member of the North Dakota's Spirit Lake Tribe, along with Native Women Restored, will host a two-day event on domestic violence Monday and Tuesday at the Wind River Hotel and Casino in Riverton.
Poor Bear said she was sexually abused by her foster father when she was 3.

The film documented Poor Bear's struggle to remain sober, further her education and fight for custody of her children.
The Riverton event will include a screening of Poor Bear's documentary, a survivor and youth walk, a question and answer session and a healing circle.

Print this issue
Greater Boston Legal Services, in partnership with the Massachusetts Immigrant Refugee Advocacy Coalition, is asking the private bar to join its efforts to ensure that every low-income worker being audited by the Department of Revenue has legal representation. Many of our clients are workers who file their tax returns with individual tax ID numbers, which the DOR is not yet equipped to handle. In addition, the DOR is asking for proof of income beyond the workers' W-2 records, and we believe such requests are beyond the scope of their reviews.
These workers are being audited in unprecedented numbers and GBLS is asking the private bar for pro bono assistance in representing them. GBLS is presently the only state agency representing these workers and it needs to expand capacity.
Volunteer attorneys will be trained on the law and asked to negotiate for additional time with the DOR, as well as assist the clients in obtaining the requested documentation and/or to provide reasons to the DOR why the additional requested documents are beyond the scope of their audits.
Training will be held at the Boston Bar Association, 16 Beacon St., Boston, on Friday, June 29, from 10 a.m. to noon. To register for the training, contact Adriana Lafaille at (617) 350-5480 x216 or via e-mail. Click here to download a short registration form.
For additional information, e-mail Luz Arevalo at GBLS.

Great Polish, Worth the Money!
Received as a present from my hubby. I would never have paid this much for polish on my own, but I am SO happy to have been spoiled with this as a gift! The color is beautiful, and is gorgeous on. The brush is wide and wonderful with helping to distribute the polish onto each nail. The polish itself goes on silky smooth, and after two coats looks like I got them done at the salon! Very smooth, shiny finish without topcoat. Dries relatively quickly, too! After 3 days of wear (and VERY harsh hand activities including opening plastic packaging, washing dishes, cleaning, etc) it looks like the edges are slightly worn, but you can only see that if you're looking at them up close. My hubby has even commented that this polish looks really nice on me and he loves the color. For HIM to compliment me on my nails is huge! He said we may need to buy more of these.....and I would agree! I am a Dior Vernis convert! No more drug store polish for me!!Read More
