It's showtime queeple! (QM Cup Sunday!)

To contact us Click HERE

We've been warning you but this is your final reminder that registration for Quizmaster Cup VIII is open and is this Sunday at 1pm!


It was bustlin' once again at the upstairs of the Grafton Ale House for Thursday night trivia. All the regular troops came out in full force too, although we had some newcomers as well, notably the gang from Tammy BaldWIN or go home..


They finished on a score of 36 points, but we hope to see their smiling little faces back next time.

Elsewhere, top of the standings saw the crew from Count Chocula has his hands all over my Pikachu rack up an all-important victory ahead of this Sunday's Quizmaster Cup, which will be their first...


They were rivaled on the night by the Suck It Trebek (who will also be at the Cup and dressed to impress in their most royal attire), although this team only managed second spot after a sudden death showdown...


They said they're saving their A-game for Sunday, and surely a favorite to win the "BOX OF BRITISHNESS" for best dressed team!

And finally on the night, following the winter Olympics question, twas the aptly named Always flaccid in Lake Placid that took away a pleasing win for best name...


Good stuff indeed.

The show rolls on again next Thursday with an interesting Toys and Games bonus round. Be there!

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

Quizmaster Ryan was certainly living the high life at the Ale House quiz in Grafton on Thursday night. After years of slugging away with the choice of either standing or sitting on a regular-person's wooden chair during quiz, the Ale House had finally given into his demands of a couch (aka a "seti" as it's called in the U.K.).

And so the quiz was perhaps the comfiest ever!...


It certainly could have been put to use a few weeks earlier when the QM was fresh from knee surgery!

Anyway, we would put the couch to much better use later on in the quiz...

Elsewhere on the night, newcomers from Sanduskys Kids took the Quizmaster's disclaimer of "no team name is off limits" to heart, and notched up the $10 prize for best name...


Quizmaster virgins on the night - we hope we weren't too rough with them and that they come back for more next time!

Like we mentioned earlier, the couch (which doesn't pull out - how sad) was put to use, as the top team had their picture with the host - in a celebratory mood himself, as he was able to drink for the first time in over a month...


Yep, the Suck IT Trebek crew recorded another victory.

But they weren't the only ones to "accidentally" squeeze the Quizmaster's bum when he was sitting on them. Not to be outdone, the night's runners-up, Half a beer gets me thinking about my Tinky Winky and your Po, jumped on the Seti too, and got snapped up...


Lovely jubbly!

Don't forget we take a break on November 22nd, so America can say thank you, but never fear quiz night is back the following Thursday night! See you all then!

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

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 :)

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!

Article of the Week - Nuclear Weapons

To contact us Click HERE


A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. The first fission ("atomic") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 20,000 tons of TNT. The first thermonuclear ("hydrogen") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 10,000,000 tons of TNT.

Only two nuclear weapons have been used in the course of warfare, both by the United States near the end of World War II. On 6 August 1945, a uranium gun-type fission bomb code-named "Little Boy" was detonated over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, on 9 August, a plutonium implosion-type fission bomb code-named "Fat Man" was exploded over Nagasaki, Japan.

These two bombings resulted in the deaths of approximately 200,000 Japanese people—mostly civilians—from acute injuries sustained from the explosions. The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender, and their ethical status, remain the subject of scholarly and popular debate.Since the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nuclear weapons have been detonated on over two thousand occasions for testing purposes and demonstrations.

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!

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 !
