12|1|emailed my answers|randij|leejurgens@optonline.net|14:40:13|04/02/2010|In honor of President Obama's Health Care Reform Bill, it's time for another of my RAOK events. Beginning now and ending May 1, @ 11pm CDT, six lucky people have the chance to earn some gifts. Here's the deal: I will post a list of ACRONYMS, as well as various items and topics, and players will need to figure out which of those acronyms and various items and topics from each list you think are correct. I will post these lists every two days beginning April 1st (April 1,3,5,7,9....). Players will have about TWO days between list postings in which to post their answers. Please...only one guess per list. Any player who posts their answer after the two-day deadlines (by 10pm CDT), may not have their answer counted for that particular list.
Players will have (15) chances to earn a gift...there will be (15) lists posted during this RAOK. At the end of the RAOK (May 1st), a Grand Prize winner will be chosen based upon the number of accurate list items guessed. Five Secondary Prize winners will be randomly selected (via randomizer.org) as well.
The Grand Prize Winner will receive a $50 Dillards gift card, a 12-oz. bag of premium coffee of my choosing, as well as a couple of other goodies. The five Secondary Prize winners will each receive smaller, but nice gifts worthy as Secondary Prizes.
Any RS member in good standing may enter this RAOK. HOWEVER...players who enter for the first list must stick around to post their answers for all (15) lists, or else they cannot be considered for any prizes. Think about whether you think you can commit and post (15) times. So, you play, you stay. Okay?
Here are the rules. Your answers must be EMAILED to me by the cutoff deadline for each round. You can only send your answers once, so please be sure you are satisfied with your answers before sending them to me. Any questions? If so, please feel free to email me (inthesticks@windstream.net).
============================================================================================================================================
Okay, let's get started! Listed below are (6) acronyms. These are well-known acronyms, globally accepted. Your job is to provide the correct meaning for each one, 'kay? Let's see just how well you know acronyms. (For example: if the acronym is NBA -- then the correct "meaning" will be the National Basketball Association.) You have until April 2 11pm CDT to email your answers. Good luck....!
1) AC (hint: deals with electricity)
2) DC (hint: deals with electricity)
3) AM (hint: deals with time of day)
4) PM (hint: deals with time of day)
5) AM (hint: deals with a radio)
6) FM (hint: deals with a radio)

Cathie : ) 18|1|ROUND 1 is now over....!|inthesticks|inthesticks@windstream.net|03:23:52|04/03/2010|
I'll post results sometime today.... 19|2|Results of Round 1....|inthesticks|inthesticks@windstream.net|23:45:23|04/03/2010|
The results are in. There were (25) players who signed-up. Now there are (19) players. Hopefully I have everyone's correct emails now. From now on, I will send a REPLY confirmation to each of you whenever I receive your answers. That should help eliminate some confusion, at least on my part. Okay...
Here are the answers:
AC = Alternating Current
DC = Direct Current
AM = Amplitude Modulation
FM = Frequency Modulation
AM = Anti-Meridiem
PM = Post-Meridiem
=========================================
Some of your answers were funny. As a rule, the "long version" of an acronym will begin with the first letter of that acronym (example: PM = Post-Meridiem). So with that little tidbit of information, congratulations to the following players: brainyblonde, Isha, JOYHAPPYONE, KELLYNEISH, Lorey12, Mfrs, noway, Ranalt, randij, Sharon, Suezz, TIM2, and Zombietoo. Well done! Each Round will have it's own thread. Onward....
