It was a packed house at the Ale House on Thursday for a lil' trivia action upstairs with Quizmaster Ryan W. who was back after a conflict last time out.

In the end the veterans from Suck It Trebek made it two wins in a row, with the crew from Unlike OJ we admit to taking a stab at this quiz while LMFAO taking second spot, after victory in a sudden death round...


The night's best team name prize went to Grafton Ale House newcomers Jay Cutler's Ovary Action, who notched up the $10 tab...


They debuted with Quizmaster the previous Saturday, winning their inaugural quiz at Sheboygan's Duke of Devon Pub! Nice work again!

We'd like to give an honorable mention to the gents (and lady) from Wine 'em, dine 'em, 69 'em who felt they deserved the best team name prize...


Classy bunch :P Their team name will be documented in the best team names of the month blog post :)

More quizzing next Thursday at 7pm and throughout the holiday season!! No stops for this trivia train at the Ale House!!

Until next time Grafton, drink while you think...

Twas the week before Christmas this Thursday trivia night at the Ale House in Grafton. Despite the ongoing snow storm on the day, there were still over 50 quizzers vying for some free beer! And with the Grafton queeps being such nice folks, Christmas came early for the Quizmaster as he was gifted a couple of yummy treats from the regulars...



Chocolate-smothered graham crackers and a plate of cookies!! MmmmmM!

Speaking of treat, the duo from And the Christmas Queefs Strike Back!, long-time regulars quizzers, won their first ever quiz on the night, with a smashing 47 out of 48 points...


They usually come with a big crew, but it shows that size doesn't always matter! Apparently one their birthday's is ON Christmas Day, so they know every there is to know about the holiday season ---> which came in handy given the night's festively-themed questions!!!

Holly and jolly they were!

Elsewhere, there was a three-way tie for second spot with a sudden death round ensuing to determine the winner! But after a tie after the first questions, another tie-breaker had to be asked, with the Christmas hats of Suck It Trebek taking the prize...


Don't forget to finish Paul's brownies. YUM.

And finally, the final best team name prize before the holiday went to Simply having a wonderful Quizmaster time...


Well, duh! Who didn't have a wonderful Quizmaster time!

We wish all a Merry Christmas and we'll be back quizzin' the day after Boxing Day (that's Decembe 27th America!)

See you all then!

Until next time Grafton, drink while you think...

It was yet another full house upstairs at the Ale House on Thursday for quiz night, with QM Ryan W. returning to host after a week off last time out.

And it was quite the thriller in the end, as three teams would tie at the top with 47 points each. However, following the sudden death question about the number of elevators in the Burj Khalifa (the answer being 57!) twas the crew from Suck It that notched up the win...


Yes, the quiz team formerly known as Suck It Trebek. Nice win guys!

The best team name decision for the QM was a tricky one on the night, with several references to the German word for sausage (that would be 'Wurst') and Cheerios (both question topics on the night) getting a shout out.

But in the end I'd do anything for love... but I won't do Kanye (or that Kardashian whore) got the nod, to their delayed delight, and $10 was theirs!!!...


That will be one interesting-looking baby!

More quizzing next Thursday, when a quiz league will also get underway!

VOA's Family Relief Nursery is our next recipient

To contact us Click HERE
The next donation for the Holiday Fare project is 15 books of tickets to VOA's Family Relief Nursery.

Here's how Katie from FRN describes the need:
The Family Relief Nursery is an intervention/prevention program for families with children six weeks to five years old. We work to strengthen fragile families at serious risk of abusing or neglecting their children or of permanently losing custody of their children. The Nursery offers a holistic, positive intervention with both children and parents. All services are provided at no charge to families. The FRN now serves up to 90 families per year.

One of the barriers our families face is transportation. We do have a small school bus that picks kids up and drops them off each day, but the bus can only accommodate so many children. Many times a family will remain on our waitlist until a bus and a classroom spot are both open. When possible, we do provide bus tickets to our families so they can utilize public transportation to bring their children to and from FRN. As well, bus tickets are especially helpful when we have Family Nights or Open Houses at FRN. For parents whose kids are picked up by the FRN bus (and do not have a car themselves) they often never get to see where their kids go each day. The Family Nights and Open Houses are a time when the parents can come by and see the site and meet their children’s teachers (we do home visiting as well with most of our families, so they are intimately involved with our interventionists otherwise). Bus tickets are also sometimes used to allow our families to go out to VOA’s resale store, so they can pick up clothing or other items for their children (we provide them with vouchers for the resale store).

In the past, we have been able to provide bus tickets to our families, as needed. Unfortunately this year, we with downturn in the economy, one of our funders had us cut our budget by 4.5% and another funder cut our budget by 12%. In order to maintain our level of services, and because the State requires us to have so much direct service personnel per child, one of the things we had to cut this year was direct client assistance funds, which includes items like bus tickets.

Sorry for the long quote, but I couldn't find anything to leave out. Again, the need is so great. I wish we could give more to this program and all the others that we've helped so far. The only way we can do that is if more of you donate. Here's how!

Please spread the word and post this link everywhere, including those things where you make a sign out of a piece of printer paper and then let people tear little pieces off the bottom. :) Facebook, Twitter, and blanketing everyone in the world with emails works, too! Thanks!

a quote on working hours by robert frostFrom agriculture dominant country, India has moved to servicesdomain in a couple of decades. One of the barometers of economic development isthe employment growth across all sectors. With 6-9% growth in GDP in the lasttwo decades, people were fortunate to find all sorts of jobs across country.With colleges in different regions, talent in pockets for certain areas, skillsin abundance in a few states and opportunities galore far and wide, how wouldpeople find suitable jobs even if they are aplenty?
Applying technology, job portals have come to the rescue. Due togrowth of Information Technology (IT) sector in the new millennium, people wereaware mainly of these IT job portals, but there exist a portal for everypossible type of job. Here are some of those portals which made finding jobseasy on the Internet.
http://naukri.comhttp://shine.comhttp://monster.comhttp://timesjobs.comhttp://clickjobs.com Provides an opportunity to post resume for jobs across different industries / sectors and designations. Most of them started with the IT job opportunities but expanded to all other domains. Each of them must be having millions of resumes in the repository. These portals also offer simple services like resume development, provide information about different professions and salary level validation.
http://babajob.com If you are looking for a maid, driver , cook or cashier, this is the specialized portal to visit.  There is a provision of police verification and health insurance check of job seekers, for the benefit of employers, through their service. Their mission seems to create a positive impact to the 'bottom of the pyramid'.
http://freshersworld.com Candidates fresh out of a college, especially from tier-2 and lower always find it difficult to seek a job.  Recruitment in the campus is not meant for all colleges and even that does not go smooth sometimes. This portal provides an exclusive service to show job opportunities for such freshers, who are ready to conquer the world.
http://govtjobsdaily.com Securing a government job  was the norm with previous generation in India, after gaining a good academic record. If one is interested in such government jobs, this portal seems to provide good help.
http://apnacircle.com If one is more interested to improve their professional network over a period of time and potentially seek a job from employers, this India-based website would be helpful.

I believe there would be lot many specialized job sites in India.The job seekers get to register on these sites for free; the job portals drawtheir revenues from the employers. It's a win-win situation for all theinvolved parties.
E-Commerce in India has blossomed with onlinetravel business to start with. After that, online classifieds, especially matrimonyand job portals, flourished pretty much. I wonder if all those folks who got ajob through any of these job portals take a moment to admire the technologybehind the scenes for their success and happiness !
