Review of Interarms ak 47 from Atlantic firearms
Greetings and Salutations to all gun owners and NRA supporters!
Today, just for fun!! We are reviewing 2 of Interarms ak 47s from Atlantic firearms (www.atlanticfirearms.com). They are both the same except that 1 is a poly and the other is wood. Please be advised that Im a layman and not an expert!! Im only given my opinion and story to help others along in their journey of ak madness.
So as I set out on my little adventure, searching high and low for a decent ak 47 worth my hard earned money. I luckily stumbled across atlantic firearms web site. I actually started my research about 6 months prior. Looking at gun shops, researching comments in forums, asking questions from my friends at the gun range, hours and hours perusing the local gun shows(better than going to a movie-lol), and dont forget you-tubing for ak 47 videos. What I discovered, was a wide range of opinions and options Some people despised Century Arms and Romanian aks, others liked them. From my research, the biggest problems with the century arms was that people were complaining about was from canted sights, poor fit and finish, and loose magazine fit(causing rattle). But supposedly, these issues are on the lower-end Romanian aks($400 range). And, I found a century arms Yugo m70ab2 to be to my liking in both fit and finish, sights and mag fit(bought one of these beauties as well, but Ill hold off on that one until my next review). So, my beginning hypothesis was that not all aks are created equal.
I have to admit that I didnt want to spend 1000 on an arsenal ak. But, I was willing to spend more that 400 to 500 and get a better ak than the century arms Romanian. What I was looking for was an ak 47 that was in the middle of the road in Quality and price.
I settled on the Interarms ak 47. Got both the poly and the wood. And lovin them both.
- The only difference between the wood and poly is that the poly is a little lighter.
- Both have nice fit and finish, mags hold tight(tested with Bulgarian poly and steel)
- Each rifle came with 1 brand new Bulgarian steel magazine.
- Using Elk River receivers.
- Came with cleaning rods.
- Neither has the scope rail on the side(not a big deal to me)
- Both shot very well.
- Both models are being sold on Atlantic Firearms web site for $549 each
- Limited Lifetime Warrenty (I really liked having more that just a year)
- Uses a 16 inch new chrome lined barrel with removable brake.
(This was a must have for shooting slightly corrosive ammo)
- Ships in padded rifle hardcase.
- Has a bayonet lug.
- Both have a Parkerized finish.
- Rifle feels very tight, like a new gun (put a 100 rounds through to break-in)
- Everyone should disassemble, check, clean and lubricate rifle upon arrival before firing.
This should be standard rule of thumb when buying a new rifle anyways.
- I changed the tapco slanted muzzle break to a different better looking tapco break.
- Didnt notice that much of a performance increase in shooting ease. But, I thought it made the ak look better.
- Comes with a tapco g2 trigger.
- Does not come with bayonet.( But it has the lug)
- Romanian 75 round drum fit perfectly just like the Bulgarian mags.
The rifles are made on imported Egyptian Maadis with US parts. History lesson:
The Maadi is a post ban rifle, manufactured in Cairo on original Russian original tooling its said to be as close to an actual Russian AKM as you can get.
This is the discreption from atlantic firarms web site:
AK47 Rifle Interarms IAC 47 Poly or Wood , These rifles sport Traditional old school features AK47 features built by a solid well know firm Interarms and are backed up by a limited lifetime factory warranty. The IAC 47 P is a great step up from the less expensive Romanian imports but much more affordable than the more expensive Russian AK conversions.
Links to site:
And now for the Range Report!!!!!!!!
- Used only Yugo 7.62x39 surplus ammo (brass, no steel)
- Crisp and solid trigger
- No failures or misfires(total rounds fired -130)
- Took less than 15mins to zero at 25 meters(27.25 yards) using adjustment tool
-Picture above was while zeroing. Iron sites!! Very tight shot group.
- Picture above is after zeroing. Fired quickly but not rapid fired. 2 seconds between shots. Fired in a setting position with support at 25 meters(27.25 yards). Iron sites.
- Picture above was shot at 100 yards (91.44 meters) with iron sites. Noticed that I was shoting high on 1st group. Adjusting point of aim on 2nd group. Fired in a setting supported position with 2 seconds between shots.
- Picture above was shot at 25 meters(27.55 yards) This was rapid fire, half setting with support and half standing with no support. Wow that was fun!!!
In Conclusion, I will state that the interarms ak 47 is a good option for anyone looking to buy an ak that is better than a century arms Romanian ak but not as expensive as an arsenal. Interarms is a good solid choice.
I would like to thank Atlantic Firearms for the fast shipping and tolerating my questions, Tri cites gun depot for being my ffl(these guys are great my favorite gun dealer in the tri-cities TN(Kingsport, Johnson City, Bristol TN), and a special thanks to: The Tank Sherman and son(Our ammo bearer) for helping me with this review, photos, and for just being there.
Until next time,
justforfun outa here

Thanks, nice review and great pictures.
I've thought about ordering from Atlantic's website but balk at the thought of buying a firearm from the Internet.

Great review! The mounting on the side for a scope mount is a must if you think you will add optics or a red dot down the road. My WASR did a 3 group head shot similar to yours at 125yrds with a 9x scope.
Regardless, your review is spot on for most AK patterns. People have said the same for the WASR which is as close to the original as you can get. The similarities are close.

Thanks for the review! I've been eyeing up the Interarms AK-47 for some time but now kicking myself for not buying before the price went up by $30. I may buy it now before it goes up again!

magazine question
Do you know if you have to get a special type of 30 round extra magazine for the interarms ak 47s or do they take most ak 47s you can buy from different sites on the internet? As they only come with one would be nice to have a spare. Thanks

I'd like to know the barrel source, and what kind of quality the receiver is. Is the "kit part" matching?
I guess Nodak Spud is the best American receiver?
CHF barrels mean a bunch on a durable assault rifle. Not everything, but preferable. Chrome lined is good though.

About da questions
To Raidersrock on mag questions.
It came with 1 brand new Bulgarian steel mag. I tested with this steel mag, with a Bulgarian poly mag and a Romanian drum. They all seemed to work very well. This is an AK type rifle which means that you can use any kind of AK47 mag. Of course with any ak rifle, some mags work better than others. The 3 types I used in the review worked very well. This is one of the reasons I got a ak 47(don't like the idea of having to buy proprietary mags).
To brianak on barrel.
The barrel is chrome lined(which is a must have for shooting corrosive surplus ammo). This is a good thing to have from what knowledge i have accumulated. Please remember that I am not a guru, but more of a laymen. The barrel is made by green mountain. I saw it stamped on the barrel when i was cleaning it after the review. My reciever was a Elk River(stamped on bottom). I think that I remember reading about the Elk River receivers being good quality. In my inspection, everything looked good. See pics above. On your question of "kit part matching", I don't understand the question(remember I'm a layman). Please give me additional info on what to check and I'll check it with another post for you.
Thank you guys for the above complements on the review(It was the 1st time that I have ever done a review) , I have plans to do more. Especially when we get better weather. Also, I noticed that the price on the interarms ak47 has gone up. Happened not long after I did my review. Better get one before it goes up again. They also make a ak74 version that I was thinking about buying. Anyways, thanks again, and hope you guys check out the next review that i do. And, if your not an NRA member, please join and help protect our 2nd amendment rights.

To AZBUCKEYE... just got an IAC AK 47 from Atlantic Firearms and I'm happy with it. You do have to be careful ordering online, but most people on this site will steer you in the right direction and hopefully keep you away from shady folks.

I can't believe it..lol
I just got a post from the military arms channel guy. Sturmgewehre's Channel
I am a big fan. Love your video's.
Your right up there with the hickok45 and nutnfancy.
If you see this. Please do a video review on this rifle.
I would do it but my ugly mug would probably break the camera. LOL
Also, do a review on the cz75b 9mm pistol. It has become
my favorite for shooting at the range and at bulls eye comp.
You gotta break it in a little, but she gets real smooth.
To raidersrock: I use winchester clp(if its good enough for the us military, its good enough for me)(this is the same clp that i used back when i was in the military and it works really good) and a winchester cleaning kit. It had many different brushes. I just used the one that fit. You can get both of these at local walmart. I did look up info on the net and you can use a .30 cal brush or bore snake.
I know that you'll like the wood version you bought.. Remember to break it in with 100 to 200 rounds. When you get the rifle it will be very tight(like a brand new rifle) might be a little hard to take apart and put back together. But after you break it in the ak will become nice and smooth. And, clean and lubricate it before you take it shooting. This will help you to familiarize yourself with the rifle. Always a good idea to get to know your rifle before you shoot it. Also buy yourself a adjustment tool(for the sights) for the ak. They are cheap. Only about 10 dollars online or gun store.
Remember to thank a vet when you meet one. And buy them lunch. We like when people buy us lunch.

I was active duty Air Force for several years and left a Lt Col. I always thank vets for all they do and shake hands of all the folks I see at the airport etc. What service were you in? I am guessing Marines or Rangers? My brother in law is graduating A and M soon on Army scholarship. He chose Infantry and is going to Ranger School next April. I am proud of all the people who protect freedom and keep me safe.
Really appreciate all the help with the Interarms AK info. I have a
Bushmaster M4A3 "zombie killer" just in case but always wanted an Ak and the Interarms looks like a nice "tweener" between WASR and Arsenal. It should arrive this week and cant wait to test it out. Did you find any good websites or articles on taking it apart and cleaning it?

one more question
oops forgot one more question
where did you get your new Tapco break and is it something you can install yourself or do you need gunsmith? I really like the look of the one you put on.

Sorry didn't get to answer your question sooner on the parts matching thing. Been out of town. Got back and checked for you, parts numbers located on bolt and bolt carrier didn't match, But, bolt and receiver did. But, i do have to say that the bolt carrier looks brand new. I didn't find a number on the trunion. Maybe my bad eyes or maybe didn't look in the right place. Anyway, I love these rifles.. They are solid and tight like a new gun. Can't wait to get back to the range and shoot them some more with my friends.
To: raidersrock
Hello again. Yep I served my country proudly. Army(Infantry)(Ground Pounder) for 6 years. Loved it. Would have stayed in but had a child to take care of. Best part was the comradery, I always remember the adventures that our platoon had. They were my bothers.
Got the Tapco break for the ak47 from cheaper than dirt.
$12.97 each but they are sold out. Back ordered.
I installed mine on my own. Was very easy to do. Just screwed on.
Like in the review, looks better but didn't notice much difference in recoil
and stuff.
I also researched the net and watched you tube videos on how to do it.
That is one of the greatest things about you tube.
So, if you need info on how to dissemble and clean, put on a muzzle break. Search for it on you tube. And watch video's from others on how to do stuff. Great way to learn.
God bless America. And Good Night!

My Lenten Days.
So, I am keeping Lent this year. After a long break of many years I had a sudden whim to do it this time. Nothing special about this year or at least that's what I keep telling myself, but I was resolved to do it this year at least and am now halfway through the lent period. And as everyone knows the period of lent is the time we choose to try and conquer some of our basic instincts or in my case baser instincts. I have too many vices, (innumerable at last count) I want to get rid off but it's foolish (and far beyond my will power) to try and tackle them all at the same time so I prudently decided to pick something do-able and my own size.
So this year for lent I have decided to curb my flippant tongue. Too often in the past I have made many glib statements showing off my wit at others expense. I can't help it, for any statement which others make I always have a half-a-dozen returns or comebacks hovering on the tip of my tongue- ranging from the blasé to the utterly cutting. And often enough I am ashamed to say I have shown off my wit and humor even at the cost of prudence when it would have been better to have stayed silent. Self change is the mark of a strong man they say and I am resolved to use this lent period to conquer my instincts to make flippant remarks which might conceivably hurt others. Based on the results of the past three weeks I can now say with fair confidence that I am well on the way to controlling my caustic tongue from making any throwaway statement which a kind and considerate person will never utter. And I sincerely hope to be a better person by the end of this lent period, so help me god. Come Good Friday, I so want to be a good person.
Now for those wondering at this public espousal of my religious beliefs let me remind you of the old cliché that everyone gets religion in their dotage. Which means I am well on the way to senility. And the reason I am using this blog as a confessional (instead of finding me a clergy to grant absolution for my sins) is because I believe such a public confession automatically converts all of you readers into my clergy- the only ones I trust to keep me on the straight and narrow path. So if (and that's an unqualified if) you find me back-sliding and showing off my "sense of humor" at some poor unfortunates expense I leave it to you readers to put me back on the path by gentle reminders (preferably). I lay this trust on you, are you up to it?
And there, that's all about the serious stuff. Now to add some levity let me do one more confession - but a nice one this time. Having had a good first quarter professionally i succumbed to temptation and went and got myself a bad-ass SUV (all-black) for off-roading. I know I have always been someone who advocated a responsible life and for leaving as small an energy footprint as we can to help our earth. Which is why I resisted the temptation for a large car for so long. But in my defense lately I have felt the call of the wild road pretty strongly. For those who haven't felt it- it's a kind of a deep longing in the bones to leave everything behind and just go off into the wild with just the clothes on your back- it can't be explained with any clarity. It just is.
Maybe, if I had been born a couple centuries ago I could have lived out my fantasy- a man on a spirited horse, a six shooter on the hip and the lonely path into the wilds (a lifestyle straight out of the westerns I love so much). But now I need a different kind of vehicle to tackle the Wild West. Ergo, the SUV. And so in the next few months it's going to be me, the car, the dog and roads. And as I don't own a dog it's just gonna be me and the long, dusty road. As it should be. So expect up-coming posts on solo travel to inhospitable parts. Watch this space.

What is the best way to make the lines as noticeable as possible when I take it in today? I do actually notice is a little more on the top of the macrumors page. Thanks!

Sometimes it takes awhile for our kids to find their niche, the one or two interests that will fuel them through childhood and adolescence. For Lauren Charney, a 10 year old fourth- grader from Saline, it wasn't until third grade that she truly found her passion. Running.
Not only has the sport inspired Lauren, but it has given her the platform to inspire other girls to run too. A national platform.
Although Lauren participates in other sports, it is running that "makes me feel like I can do anything." When I asked Lauren what advice she would give other girls who might be a little shy about putting their first step forward, she didn't hesitate in giving credit to Girls On the Run. Girls On the Run has given Lauren a vehicle to great achievement and put her in a place to inspire all of us.Girls On the Run is a non-profit, non-competitive organization. According to their website,
"Girls on the Run® is a life-changing, experiential learning programs for girls age eight to thirteen years old. The programs combine training for a 3.1 mile running event with self-esteem enhancing, uplifting workouts. The goals of the programs are to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development."
Lauren Charney has taken her running a step further. Turns out her love of the sport and inspirational attitude has launched her to a place where she is one of six national finalists in the Kelloggs 2010 Junior Achievement Awards. She has already been flown to Chicago for a photo/video shoot, and is now being featured on the Kelloggs webisite competing for the 2010 ESPY award. She will fly to Los Angeles later this summer to attend the ESPY breakfast, where the winner will be announced. The winner will then attend the ESPY Award Ceremony that evening. To learn more about Lauren and vote her to to the top, go to www.frostedflakes.com.
Lauren has learned more than how to prepare for a race (like loading up on healthy peanut butter waffles and warming up her muscles with jumping jacks). She has learned what it is like to be supported by a community, to have self-esteem, to feel empowered to do anything.
Sometimes it takes a little time for our kids to really find what it is they are looking for. When they do, it is important for us as parents to support them, find outlets for them to go after what they dream of that gives them a sense of purpose and accomplishment. We all could learn a lot from girls like Lauren. It is never too late to take the first step.

Here is one snack that I know everyone in our family will eat on the trails, Energy Bites! The basic recipe comes from the Minimalist Baker's "Peanut Butter Cup Energy Bites." These are our go to snack for school lunches, after school, hiking, traveling, really anytime is a good time to eat these. This recipe make 18 to 20 bites.
Base Ingredients (only 3 ingredients!):
- 1 cup dates (if they are really dry soak them in warm water for 10-20 minutes)
- 2/3 cup oats
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter (I like to use chunky)
Additions to the Base:
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup dried fruits (raisins, apricots, apples, cranberries)
- 1-2 tablespoons coconut flakes
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon flax seeds
- 1 teaspoon honey (if you like them a little sweeter, cut down on the peanut butter so they aren't too wet)
Place the dates (and other dry fruit if using) in a food processor and pulse 10-15 times until your have small bits. Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor and pulse another 10-15 times. Scoop out ~1 tablespoon of the mixture (this does not have to be exact) into the palm of your hand and roll it into a ball. Once you have rolled all of the mixture into balls put them an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. Bites can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week in the refrigerator. Even though it's suggested that you store them in the fridge they keep their shape and travel well hiking.

The Dallas, Texas-based chipmaker had said in September that it would halt costly investments in its OMAP mobile application chip business, which supports features like video, for tablet computers and smartphones.
TI has been under pressure in wireless, where it has lost ground to rival Qualcomm Inc and the world's biggest smartphone makers Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd who have been developing their own chips instead of buying them from a supplier like TI.
Instead of pursuing the phone market TI is trying to sell OMAP in a broader market that requires less investments and includes industrial clients like carmakers.
TI said on it expects to take charges of about $325 million related to the job cuts and other cost reduction measures, most of which will be accounted for in the current quarter. Its previously announced financial targets for the fourth quarter do not include these costs, TI said.
The company, which has 35,000 employees around the world, expects annualized savings of about $450 million by the end of 2013 from the action.
TI shares edged up 17 cents to $28.93 in late trade after closing down 2 percent at $28.76 in the regular Nasdaq session.

A California physical education teacher has been charged with corporal injury to a child after video surfaced of him attempting to throw a 14-year-old girl into the pool during his class, News10 reports.
On the video — taken by another student — Edison High School P.E. teacher Denny Peterson can be seen dragging the girl toward the pool while she yells, "My top is falling down."
The lawyer representing her, Gilbert Somera, admitted that the girl was lying about her reason for not wanting to go in the pool — she had had her hair done earlier that day for an event she was attending that evening and didn't want it ruined — before adding that it was immaterial to the way in which she was treated, given the claim she was making.
"Regardless of her participation, it should disgust you how this man put his hands on a 14-year-old girl. She said multiple times, 'My top is falling down,'" he said.
"'No' means 'no' and 'stop' means 'stop,'" Somera continued. "This isn't a situation where she's attacking a teacher and he's defending himself. When a woman or a 14-year-old girl says 'no,' it means 'no.'"
Moreover, he said, Peterson had the option of punishing her academically for her refusal to participate.
Peterson was put on leave after the incident, but was later reinstated at another Stockton Unified School District campus. After being alerted by News10 that charges had been filed against him, however, the district again placed Peterson on leave.
In a statement, the district said that it "has taken appropriate action in this case. The teacher has been placed on paid administrative leave per district policy."
Watch a report on the incident via News10 below.

In the B2C business model, products are owned by the platform itself and services are centralized. The platform is responsible for offering the asset pool of a certain class and make it available for rental.
Such business model has already a long history (e.g. car rental like Hertz) as well as new economy application (e.g. ofo, ZipCar, B-Cycle, etc.)
Platforms are conducting P2P interactions, executing payments and transactions in a centralized way in order to intervene and to grant the security of business engagement, which consequentely results in the heavy cost of operation and high surcharge to the users of both parties.
Examples: airBnB, TaskRabbit, freelancer.com
In the P2P Sharing Economy 2.0 paradigm, Blockchain will execute transactions and payments; in this case the trust that is indispensable during the P2P transaction is provided by the Blockchain. BizShake applications will provide users with market access and business logic, for which a very small fee will be charged
1. Rental fee and deposit are locked by Smart Contract
2. Asset will be transferred from the lessor to the lessee
3. Rental fee will be transferred from lessee's wallet to lessor's wallet
4. After the rent period, lessee will transfer back the asset to the lessor
5. Deposit is unlocked by Smart Contract
* for detailed explanation, please refer to the white paper
1. Asset is transferred from Pawner to Lender
2. Loan is transferred from Lender's wallet to Pawner's wallet
3. After the agreed period, Loan + Interests are transferred from Pawner's wallet to Lender's wallet
4. Asset is transferred back from Lender to Pawner
* for detailed explanation, please refer to the white paper
SmartRent will allow users to rent assets for a certain period of time to other users for a pre-determined fee. SmartRent will allow lessor to exploit the full potential of ownership with economic return as well as allowing lessees to enjoy the use of an asset without investing in its purchase
SmartPawn will allow users to receive a short-term loan from another user; the loan will be backed by the transfer of an asset. When the loan will be refund, the asset will be transferred back. Using SmartPawn is another form in which the owner can exploit the fill potential of ownership
BizShake will implement a decentralized dispute system that is based on peer control. This goes exactly in the way of the full scale implementation of a complete P2P sharing economy, as users will help other users to judge and settle the disputes. Moreover, the verdift of a single arbiter will undergo peer control from other arbiters
SmartCertify will adopt an innovative Blockchain concept called "Non-Fungible tokens" and will implement an affiliation program to involve Certifier Users in order to greatly reduce fake or broken objects of high-value assets. On the other hand, it will allow users to grant the authenticity of the assets they are sharing with the community
BizShake will implement specific AI algorithm to calculate user's profile, ID and level of credibility, through multitude data from BizShake dAPPs and external sources such as government data, insurance, financial institutions, etc. Such Credibility Level can be shared with other BizShake partner dAPPs under users' consensus
SmartAPI will provide other business owners with the possibility to implement more applications based on BizShake business logic and AI algorithms for their vertical markets, specific asset classes and languages, in order to bring the maximum possible value to the community
Leveraging on the Blockchain technology, the fee applied by BizShake will be as low as 5% of each transaction value in order to cover our business development, marketing and operation costs: 5% of rental fee from SmartRent and 5% of interests from SmartPawn. The fee will be automatically deducted from the rent/interests amount
Decentralization is one of the major pillars of the Blockchain technology and we believe is the most appropriate way to implement real P2P applications. The concept of decentralization itself is what will allow users to trade within themselves without the need of intermediaries, therefore greatly reducing the cost and fee for users involved in the transactions
The goal of BizShake is to achieve scalability in our user base. For this reason, we're working hard on our User Interface in order to grant the best user experience. SmartRent and SmartPawn will be available in many languages in order to satisfy a different linguistic requirement. BizShake smart contract will facilitate the easy access to our business functionalities
The BizShake ecosystem will be implemented on the NEO Blockchain. The NEO Blockchain can already grant extraordinary performance level, compared to other SmartContracts Blockchain (1,000 TPS on NEO vs. 15 TPS on Ethereum). Neo can also achieve 10,000 TPS in the near future as officially disclosed by NEO team
BizShake applications will be available on multi-platforms. SmartRent and SmartPawn will be optimized for Desktop, Mobile and Tablet use. BizShake will encourage our partners to keep working with the same philosophy. New developments, with IoT functionalities, will be available in a second phase

For our newest little nephew Shaun - 10/03/10. We're going for a family lunch today so I'll be wrapping this wee Oddysea quilt made using a tutorial via Oh Fransson Blog. This top was so quick to put together and used only a charm pack and some yardage of fabric. My friend has already asked me to make one for her wee boy too. Top of the To Do list though is Aphra's quilt. My LAQ said she'll quilt it overnight for me once it's finished. Isn't she lovely? Now to get motivated!!
I love these prints. They are perfect for a wee baby boy to grow with.
You can see the cute fishy stitching in the back. My local LAQ is a miracle worker.

In The Widening GyrePosted: March 27, 2012 in In The Widening Gyre, The Writing Life
Tags: dystopian, Hunger Games, teen fiction, Widening Gyre
I mentioned earlier that my daughter is all over The Hunger Games, and that I've been considering about writing my own dystopian teen thriller to sorta capture the sense of what these books were all about. I've finished reading The Hunger Games series as of yesterday, and I was quite impressed with the story. Suzanne Collins did a smash-up job putting this world together. Honestly, the only thing that hung up for me was the utter hopelessness with which the book ended. Okay, that might be too strong a word, there was a little hope, but so very, very little. Then again, what else should we expect from dystopian fiction?
Regardless, I've been thinking a lot about both the books and my own foray into this genre (and yes, I promise I will complete the other books as soon as I'm done), and I've decided to try something a little different for this one.
I'm going to give it to you, chapter by chapter, here on this blog. At the end, naturally, I will send the book out to both print and e-publishing (because who wants to spend all that time reading a blog!), but in the meantime, I thought I'd invite you to join with me (and my children, who are my Beta Readers for this) in experiencing the book as it unfolds.
With that in mind, I'm also soliciting your comments, thoughts, and suggestions both on the writing and on the story as it unfolds. You, dear readers, will serve as my editors and sounding board. You'll also hold me accountable to finish it quickly, I suspect.
I will post the first chapter tomorrow, and then all subsequent chapters as I complete them. There may be a slight lag at the beginning as I have a little catch-up work to do. Expect about a chapter a day, with time off for weekends, probably, and I'll do my best to hold to that schedule.
I hope you like the story!
"Hunger Games"-esque novelPosted: March 20, 2012 in Spilled Milk, The Writing Life
So I decided to take the plunge and start my "Hunger Games"-esque novel. I'm tentatively calling it In the Widening Gyre. I say "tentatively" because my daughter Sarah informs me that it's not a good "teen" title, because nobody knows what a "Gyre" is (Gyre = gyration, a spiral. Sheesh!). She's probably right, but it is the opening line of Yeats' poem. Unless I rearrange the wording and go with Things Fall Apart, which is supposed to be the next book in the series. I dunno. I have to think about it.
At any rate, I have the book outlined now, and I've pretty much wrapped up the first chapter and am into the second already. The chapters are a bit longer than what I normally write, but I don't think that'll be a problem. I've also chosen to do something a little different: I'm writing it in print-format. Rather than double-spacing it on 8 1/2 x 11 paper, I've set the document properties to a book setting, and I'm justifying the text, as well as using the fonts and so forth that I plan to use when the book is printed. I'm hoping this will save me some major editing steps, as I can see the book unfolding before me as I anticipate it will look once it's finished. If this plays right, I may start doing this for all future books as well. I confess it's a little odd, letting go of the formatting style I've grown used to for so many three decades, but I think it's the right choice. We'll see if it comes back to bite me in the hind end later.
On a related note, my print version of Spilled Milk has been delayed by production problems. Most notable is the fact that I've had to convert the file from Microsoft Word to OpenOffice format, so that I can use the pdf converter OpenOffice provides that neither my version of Word at home (2003) nor at work (2010) provides (for some reason, they never installed it at work). But this morning I discovered that my Word at workcan create the pdf after all. I can sneak it in through the "send to" function, where the pdf converting has been enabled. This means I no longer have to go through the entire document fixing all the page break errors that were created when I opened the Word doc in OpenOffice (it didn't like the section breaks I used to change the header/footer information from the first few pages through the rest of the book. For some reason, OpenOffice wants to use just one header/footer throughout, whereas Word allows you to create as many as you want. Unless I'm doing something seriously incorrect.). Regardless, I should have the file ready to go on Thursday at the latest.
Oy! The perils of proofing!
No matter. I'm back to work on the book now. If I can crank this out as fast as I hope, then I PROMISE I'll get right back to work on Topheth and Tree of Liberty before Spring is out.
(no title)Posted: March 15, 2012 in Spilled Milk, The Writing Life
So my daughter is all over The Hunger Games, and I've spent most of today (when not parenting, working out, working, or writing) thinking about the way trends shift here and there. For a while it was Harry Potter. Then vampires were all the rage (leading many to speculate that the next great teen trend would be more paranormal stuff.). Instead, it turns out dystopian is the latest craze.
Which is even crazier, 'cause I write dystopian. Of course, my dystopian is meant for adults, rather than teens (especially teen girls). I talked it over a bit with my daughter, trying to get a handle on what makes a teen dystopian novel so appealing. She suggested it wasn't just the sky-is-falling motif, but that there were a few key elements: 1) a malevolent, controlling government, 2) the teens are more virtuous than the adults (who too easily compromise), and 3) a love triangle between the main characters – typically a girl having to choose between two guys.
Mind you, I haven't done anything with this, largely because a) I have way too much to write already and b) I don't trust trends to last long enough for me to crank out a book (although I did do Spilled Milk in only seven weeks). But this hasn't kept me from speculating about whether or not I could start my New World Order series, and give it a spitfire teen female protagonist. I've got nine titles in that series, and only the roughest of outlines to work from. All the titles come from Yeats' poem The Second Coming, which I have reproduced below. I've highlighted the titles in bold:
Turning and turning in The Widening Gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things Fall Apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere Anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The Blood-Dimmed Tide is loosed, and everywhere
The Ceremony Of Innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely Some Revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The Darkness Drops Again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its [The] Hour Come Round At Last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
So there are the titles in their context. The temptation is to try and produce the first novel quickly, along the lines of what I accomplished with Spilled Milk, perhaps even in first person (as it seems easier to write fast in that POV, even with all its limitations), in hopes of capitalizing on the hunger for more dystopian teen fiction.
I may take a stab at it. I may decide to just let it go. I must admit, however, that I'm a little hungry for something I write to take off at the right moment, but that hasn't happened yet. And maybe never.
(no title)Posted: March 12, 2012 in Janelle Becker Books, The Writing Life, Topheth
This is the "potential" cover for the next Janelle Becker book. It's called Topheth and is about a serial arsonist burning churches.
The story is taking a little while longer to write than I'd anticipated. For some reason, I've had a hard time getting into it, even though I think the work is quite good. I suppose this is where discipline comes in. BIC is a hard taskmaster!
Eye of Darkness only $2.99 at Amazon and Smashwords!Posted: March 4, 2012 in Eye of Darkness, The Writing Life
I have finished and released Eye of Darkness, and if you want to get a copy, it's only $2.99 at Amazon and Smashwords (for non-kindle readers). While a fantasy novel is a little different from my "normal" fare, it's still a thriller–just in a wildly different setting. At any rate, I hope you like it.
From March 4th through 10th there is a sale going on at Smashwords, and the book has been discounted there by about 50% (if I remember right).

It's been a while! 2014 was a crazy one! I moved to CA and am starting everything from scratch. I haven't been doing nails at all! Terrible– I know! But I finally got around to doing it just in time for Christmas.
If you noticed, my nails are short! My claws have been filed down to little shorties since June! It's crazy but with my new job, it's just impossible to keep my beautiful class intact.
This design was created using CalGel and Trump Gel. This nail set is a natural nail gel overlay. Gold & clear iridescent glitters with different sized gold hexagon Splash! brand holograms.
I'll try to do better about doing nails & posting! Thanks for visiting! Happy Holidays & remember to keep your claws modish!

MSN search engine: How good is it?
By By Nowshade Kabir
If you have an online business or you just use Internet as one of your marketing tools, you know that how important are the search engines in your quest to get more targeted visitors to your website. The changes in search engine field can have unexpected outcome for your online endeavors. That's why it is important to be well-informed on impending progress in this sphere.
Microsoft has recently come out with the latest beta version of its much touted search engine. Supported by 5 billion indexed pages, it is poised to become one of the most powerful search engines in the market. Right now MSN is using Yahoo provided search results for queries done through its search page, which it's planning to change somewhere in early next year with its own.
You can check out the search engine at beta.search.msn.com .
A Piece of the Searching Market
Google's immense success and profitable business model enticed Microsoft and others to look into lucrative search engine market seriously. Amazon, for example, has recently launched its web search site
Today, Google carries out almost 50 percent of all searches on the Internet. Yahoo with 24 percent of the market share is trailing in a distant second place. MSN with 14 percent lags far behind from the competitors -- a situation, which won't be very easy to change. However, Microsoft has a long history of copying booming products; make their replicas some times arguably, better then the originals, and clinch larger portion of the market shares. Microsoft has successfully done this to Borland's dominance of programming languages in the early days. The list of victims continued with once utterly popular word processor -- WordPerfect, market dominant spreadsheet -- Lotus 1-2-3, Novell's Netware and finally Netscape. Since 90 percents of all personal computers run on Windows, Microsoft gets an extra edge against its competitors, which it's capable of exploiting very effectively.
What is new in MSN search?
This version of MSN search incorporated several interesting features, which other search engines are lacking at this moment.
Direct answers to plain language factual searches -- Unlike Google or Yahoo, Askjeeves has better ability to find answers to direct plain language searches. MSN search has taken this one step further by adding Microsoft's Encarta reference tools to its features. Ask, what is the capital of Russia? You will get the right answer at the beginning of the result page. Questions like "What is the size of a Blue whale?" also brings in exact answer. No doubt, students will love this feature as it makes a lot easier for them to get specific answers to the questions related to facts and figures.
Near me -- Microsoft's new search engine includes a ''near me'' button that helps users find websites for a given location. In this release, this works only in United States. Once you press this button MSN search figures out where are you located using your computer's IP address. However, this can be easily superseded by changing setting preferences. This is important if you are located in New York and looking for something near Boston.
Search Builder -- In other search engines, if you would like to customize your search you have to use advance search options from a separate page. MSN search has made it a lot easier for average users by adding the ability of customization right on the search box.
Once you click on the Search Builder from the link right underneath of the search box a drop down menu will open. Initially, the menu might look a little confusing; with little patience you will be able to use available great features easily. The tool "search terms" allows you to add Boolean search options. Site/ Domain tool is used for limiting a search to specific site or domain, or excluding them from your query.
Links To tool helps you make your query within the sites linked to a specific site. Country/ region and language options are required to make geography or language specific searches. The best option from this group of features is the "Result Ranking". This option allows you to refine searches and give you a better control over the search result by using a set of three bars. By sliding the bars up and down you choose whether you want to see more of exact match or approximate match, more popular or less popular, static or dynamic pages as search results. You can generate an impressive range of results for a single query thanks to this option. This could be very useful for some types of searches. For example: if you are looking for news based pages, you might prefer to choose more dynamic pages rather than static ones.
Preference setting -- Most notable options on the setting page are "Safe Search" -- ability to filter out sexually explicit images and texts, and ability to fix the number of results displayed from one particular site.
Relevancy -- Many reviewers claim that if you compare the search results with Google, MSN search engine "falls short" in relevancy. However, my results showed otherwise. I ran a search on the phrase "trade leads". The results from both the search engines were very relevant. The only difference in MSN I noticed is our trade-leads.rusbiz.com managed to turn up on the first page. But, a search on the word "e-catalog" brought better -- more relevant results on MSN then Google. This time too I was happy to see e-catalog.rusbiz.com on the first page of MSN search results.
If you consider all the new features of MSN that Google does not have yet, its ability to cover natural language queries, quality level and relevance of results, ability to refine searches, there is no doubt that MSN search engine is as good as Google.

Fizik Saddles
Founded in 1996, Fizik (or Fi'zi:k to be more accurate!) are primarily known for their range of bike saddles, which are aimed at the performance and racing end of the market. Typically they're lightweight and sleek - you don't find any beginner style chunky padded saddles in their ranges. The company is owned by Selle Royal, an Italian saddle maker, and Fi'zi:k obtains it's name from the phonetic spelling of the word physique. Recently they've branched out into other areas, such as cycling shoes and road bar tape, as well as road finishing kit such as bars, stems and seatposts, mainly finished in their customary black colour scheme. Famous riders to have competed using Fi'zi:k's products include Geraint Thomas, Phillipe Gilbert, and Rohan Dennis.

Why do you like them in particular over others in their particular area of social media? What lacrosse social media accounts do you not particularly like, and why? I wanted to make this thread since I think it would provide a good discussion on the forums (something I haven't seen in a while unfortunately) about a topic that a lot of people have deemed the reason why TLF has dropped in popularity. I haven't used Instagram and Twitter for upwards of four years so I cannot choose an account for those, but I do watch a fair share of YouTube in my spare time. The ones I try to keep up to date with are East Coast Dyes, Throne Lacrosse, The Lacrosse Network, Mainely Mesh and Epoch Lacrosse. Out of those, I think I prefer Throne's content the most just because of the camera work he provided at such an early stage in comparison to most other lacrosse accounts. Now everyone has been slowly stepping up their game with higher quality shots and editing, which is exactly what is needed to grow the sport across YouTube. One account that I used to love and have stopped keeping up with is Lacrosse All Stars, all the channel now is poorly filmed stick tricks by 10 year olds. I don't keep up with the LAS website so I am not sure what happened with Connor Wilson, but I feel like ever since Mark came on as a prominent contributor things have shifted in regards to content.

NYSIF's Premium Audit Scheduling System (PASS) enables policyholders or their representatives to choose the date, time or location of a premium audit appointment. The system eliminates most instances where customers have to wait for business hours to contact NYSIF to schedule or reschedule an audit.
PASS gives policyholders and their representatives the opportunity to schedule an initial audit appointment at a location, date and time that is convenient for them. At the end of an audit period, a letter will be mailed to the policyholder or designated audit contact with an assigned audit number. Using this audit number and the policyholder number, the customer can access PASS, select an appointment date and time, and choose the appropriate audit location.
If a policyholder chooses to wait for the initial appointment letter, NYSIF will schedule a date and time for the audit. If that date, time or location is not convenient, the policyholder can access PASS and reschedule.
PASS is also available to employers and representatives with cancelled policies, as well as policyholders who receive an estimated audit.
To reschedule an existing appointment, policyholders or their representatives must enter the policyholder number and appointment ID number found on their appointment letter containing the original audit date. After rescheduling an audit, you will receive immediate confirmation of the date change and an email with a new appointment letter.
The system will allow users to reschedule their appointment or cancel an appointment once per policy period, but they must reschedule the appointment with an auditor as soon as possible to avoid an estimated audit.

The US election 2012 is today. The election is always on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, it has always been like that. Erling, Amalie and I would like to ask a few questions about election that is today. We would like to first write about both candidates and what they stand for, then compare their politics, the conclusion and what differences\changes will be if Romney wins.
Barack Hussein Obama II, american lawyer, first African American president of the US. He was born August 4th, 1961 in Honolulu. He represents the democratic party as the 44 president in the row.
The democratic party is more into the state and want to include all the people in the country. They also want to introduce a health reform and they are into including the people in the society.
Willard Mitt Romney was born in Detroit Mars 12th 1964. He his a American businessman. In the election 2012 Mitt Romney represent the republican party. The republicans want the people to take care of them self and they are very conservative. They don't want to pay taxes because they don't want to give money to the government. They are against abortion, but they support the weapon law.
It's always okay to compare the opponents when you're wondering who you want to support. As a group we would like to compare Obama's and Romney's politics.
Obama has approved waivers freeing states from the most onerous requirements of the Bush-era No Child Left Behind law with their agreement to improve how they prepare and evaluate students. Comparing to the Romney who
supported the federal accountability standards of No Child Left Behind law.
Heath care
Obama achieved landmark overhaul putting U.S. on path to universal coverage now that Supreme Court has upheld the law's mandate for almost everyone to obtain insurance.
On the other side we find Romney who promises to work for the repeal of the federal health care law modeled largely after his universal health care achievement in Massachusetts because he says states, not Washington, should drive policy on the uninsured.
The republican party stands for that issued directive in June that immigrants brought illegally to the United States as children be exempted from deportation and granted work permits if they apply, a step that could benefit 800,000 to 1.4 million. "It's a temporary measure that lets us focus our resources wisely while offering some justice to these young people."
According to Romney who want favors U.S.-Mexico border fence, opposes education benefits to undocumented immigrants. Opposes offering legal status to undocumented immigrants who attend college, but would do so for those who serve in the armed forces.
Obama supports abortion rights. Health care law requires contraceptives to be available for free for women enrolled in workplace health plans, including access to morning-after pill, which does not terminate a pregnancy but is considered tantamount to an abortion pill by some religious conservatives. On the other hand we find Romney who opposes abortion rights. Previously supported them. Says state law should guide abortion rights, and Roe v.
Would it be any differences if Mitt Romney wins?
*He wants to provide the health care.
*Privates hospitals.
*People have to take care of themselves.
*More soliders worldwide.
*Rich people get richer, poor people get poorer.

The Spike Jonze-Simon Cahn animated short "Mourir Aupres de Toi" (To Die Next To You) — a stop-motion film entirely handmade from felt — will premiere May 18 in the Cannes Film Festival's Critics' Week, immediately preceding Jonathan Caouette's new documentary, "Walk Away Renee."
It's inspired by Olympia Le-Tan, the French maker of extraordinary handmade clutches that resemble classic, first-edition books in miniature. (The film is set in Paris' Shakespeare and Co. bookshop; at night, the characters from the books come to life.) "We Have to Talk About Kevin" star Tilda Swinton carried a custom-made "Ant and Bee" Olympia Le-Tan clutch on the red carpet for the film's premiere. (Oddly enough, "Ant and Bee" was also cited as an inspiration for the upcoming horror anthology "The ABCs of Death," announced today in Cannes.)
You can see photos of the purse, and of Swinton carrying it, on the Olympia Le-Tan Tumblr.
All of which to say that this seemed like a good time to take another look at the short's teaser, shot by Cahn, that made the rounds earlier this year.

I've long said that I can't stand shopping at Wal-Mart. I know many people who agree with me, but I've never really been able to put my finger on exactly WHY. I mean, I'm just always vaguely icked out after my visit. Unlike Target, where I go at least weekly. Steve Olsen posts a great article on his blog about the two. Go check it out and see what you think.

I know I'm not the only person who sort of wishes Ryan Gosling would be single, giving the unattached ladies everywhere a chance with the devastatingly handsome actor and superhero who saves lives. Yes, he saves people from getting hit by cars and stops street fights. But even I, who wouldn't say no to a dream date with Gosling, don't want him and Eva Mendes to breakup. I wouldn't be able to deal with adjusting to a new girlfriend when he inevitably gets one, probably another gorgeous actress and not some single mom with two kids like me.
So this latest news that Ryan and Eva are heading to splitsville makes me quite sad especially since it's the worst reason ever.
The rumors are that Eva is a jealous woman. Okay, I get that. Everyone talks about Ryan and how ahhh-may-zing he is. It's probably really, really hard to date such a coveted man. Though I kind of get it -- I once dated a guy all the single ladies in the area called the "kobe beef of bachelors." But Ryan -- that's on a whole other mega level times a million. Apparently though, Ryan is moody, and it makes Eva with her rumored insecurity crazy in a bad way.
Ryan Gosling is a Scorpio by the way. His birthday is coming up -- November 12th. Eva is a Pisces. The two are supposed to be a good match, but as a Scorpio myself, I will say it can be hard to date a Scorpio ... but the rewards are great, particularly if that reward is a Scorpio named Ryan Gosling.
A source says that Eva gets jealous over text messages Ryan gets from numbers she doesn't know. Um, yeah. I would, too. She's thinking something is up and that he's talking to other girls. Sounds really high school, but stars ... they are just like us and go through this kind of stuff, too. Even when they are as stunning as Eva Mendes. The other breakup theory is due to Ryan's desire to settle down and make some baby Goslings. Eva, apparently, isn't ready to do that just yet and is a bit of a commitment-phobe. Will these two survive? I sure hope so, but if not ... Hey, Ryan ....
Do you think they will last?

Some valid points are made about this seasons American Idol. Like the comments made by Simon for example. Was he just trying to see if people will go against what he says so his real favorite wins? Who do you think will win? David C. or David A?If votes are based on talent then it's David C., but if popularity votes come in to play David A. wins.

Eric Valent, who drew interest during the winter, could be dealt to open up the roster spot when Cameron is activated. -NY Post
Brilliant! I had no idea it could be done, but by all means. I would still prefer to see Diaz demoted than collecting dust next to Marlon Anderson, but if they're serious about maybe giving Floyd the occasional day off, or maybe putting Diaz at second (kidding, although he was an IF), he certainly looks like Valent's superior.
Jae Seo takes the mound tonight against Washington, hoping to follow up his outstanding debut with the big club. He might not have to face Nick Johnson, whose hot streak may be interrupted by a minor injury. Surprising? Not even a little bit. He's one of the few remotely scary names in that lineup. There's Wilkerson, Vidro, Jose Guillen... No, I don't give a damn what Vinny Castilla is hitting at the moment. That's about it, though I once kept a candle burning for Terrmel "Sister" Sledge. Jae should make it to the sixth inning in one piece.
The Nationals counter with Livan Hernandez. The festively plump Cuban has had a somewhat erratic career ERA-wise, but except for his abnormally good 2003, his peripherals have been fairly consistent. Strikes out around six per nine, walks about three, and watches at least one clear the fence. Unspectacular, but he delivers those innings in massive quantities, which helps a lot. On a side note, am I the only one who thought he was older than 30 by now? Of course I thought the same about Sidney Ponson last year and he was only 27.
I had kind of gotten used to life above .500, and am ready to see the Nats assume their rightful position as the division's chew toy. Mark my words: Vinny Castilla starts getting exposed tonight!

Active History: A fresh take
I feel now is a good time to come through with this idea. I am a huge fan of history, my Sky+ box is 90% full of history programs. Not all history, WW2 is what I love to learn about. Yet I remember a time when I couldn't give two hoots about History or Education. This period, as for most youngsters, happened in Secondary School. I believe however, that I have a concept to change History lessons forever...
Now then, I was a trouble maker, not a good thing, as I'm sure many of you where! Yet once a month or so, the teacher always used to show a video of the current period we where studying. Everyone loves a video right!!! These videos, for example a history program on D-Day, makes all the kids sit up, pay attention, and re-kindles that love of learning, even for a short period. Anyone who sits through Schindler's List, and then carries on refusing to learn, should be locked away. This short term "boost" as I call it, aids the children to concentrate that little harder. My idea takes this concept and adds a new dimension.
Video games in todays world are becoming more and more accurate, more and more immersive. I recently played Red Orchestra: Darkest Hour Mod. This mod has maps such as Juno Beach, Battle of the Bulge etc. When I play this game, I feel like im there, i dont want to get shot, i hide in that foxhole when the artillery comes down. The immersion and realism is at a new level. I belive this could benefit the classroom.
Why cant, a teacher when teaching D-Day, log on to DH (Darkest Hour) and play Juno Beach, or one of the countless Call of Duty games with the beach landings. Give some idea of what it would be like. Most classrooms today have massive projectors and surround sound. Playing DH on this would be amazing. The sound of an MG42 wizzing over the teachers head would be increadible. I can tell you now, no child would not sit up and pay attention to what is going on, after all, is watching your teacher duck for cover in a foxhole, pop of a few rounds, more fun than poking the girl in front in the back and giggling?
There is, ofcourse a limit to this. But that is because games are not made for History lessons. However, give me one developer that wouldn't make a game more specific for this classroom teaching. Lets say there is 3 History teachers in 100 schools in the local County area. Thats 300 copies of a game. Dont even ask me how many secondary schools there are in the UK alone. This would be a sound investment.
Above all, I believe that children would sit up and want to learn more about what is going on. They will want to see the teacher play more of this History lesson. Therefore the children have to work hard to have a lesson like this. At the moment, its:
"Work hard this week guys and on Friday we will watch a depressing video with Morgan Freeman talking for an hour"
It could be:
"Work hard this week guys and on Friday il take you through the Battle of the Bulge"
I can go on and on about this, I have scratched the surface here, and there are many things wrong which im sure some of you will pick out for me. In a later blog il weigh up the Pros and Cons, go through how this can develop etc. But for now, think about this concept, and why it is not as farfetched as it seems.

The Tweed Coast Tigers will play under lights for the first time in the Club's short history this Saturday Night when they take on Coolangatta Blues Summerland Team in what should be a big day of footy at Len Peak Oval , Kirra. The Tigers will start at the later time of 4.30pm, straight after the big match between Cooly Blues and Palm Beach with Jason Akermanis to take the field for the Blues and former Tigers players David Round and Arnold Knight playing for Palmy.
The Tigers lost last Saturday to Lismore to break their massive 24 game winning streak and are determined to not make it 2 in a row.
Tigers Captain Jai Purcell commented "We have put last week behind us and are really looking forward to Saturday nights match v Coolangatta under lights. There should be a good crowd at Kirra and the lads keen to put on a solid game. We need to regroup and Cooly are always a challenge at home."
The Tigers have several players back in this week with the strong marking Timmy Wells to bolster the backline and Josh Bone returning from a groin injury into the centre.
The Tigers giant ruckman combination of Brennan Lye and Nathan Wilson has been dominating all season and Coolangatta will need to combat this to upset a fired up Tigers on Saturday Night.
The Game starts at 4.30pm Len Peak Oval, Kirra.
