RainCalendar.com – The Free Rain and Weather Database For Farmers, Students, Schools and Weather Watchers
Here is a Rain and Weather Calendar I have just made for Farmers, Students, Schools and Weather Watchers.
It is totally free!
Please share with your friends!
Rain And Weather Calendar Screenshot
I decided to design the Rain and Weather Calendar, because I feel it would be of excellent use to mainly Australian Farmers who rely on the Weather for their crops, such as Wheat, Barley, Lupins, Corn and all other seed crops, so they can hopefully have a successful year from their crops, thanks to good and reliable rains and sunshine.
With the way Climate Change is affecting the Earth, I think it is imperative to track rainfall statistics, so you can compare this years rains, to next years and the many more years to come.
I carried out some research on the internet, for other rain and weather calendars, which are similar to mine, and I just cannot find any, apart from the normal paper calendars that you hang up on your wall and never use.
I also feel that this calendar would be perfect for kids, students, teachers and schools for an education tool. Kids just love the weather, and this spreadsheet would be perfect for a year long science project for students aged anywhere from 10 years of age, up to 17 years of age.
The Rain and Weather Calendar has taken many hours to design, but no matter how many hours and days it took to get to the stage where I am happy with it.
Thats why this calendar is free, so it can help farmers, educate kids and students about the weather.
So please feel free to download the calendar, if you do use it, please let as many of your friends know about it as possible.
Please feel free to pass this link on to all your friends, whom you feel could make some use of this weather calendar
If you are a school teacher, and feel you could use this for your kids science projects next year, please let me know that you plan on using it, as I would love to know that it will be used for kids to learn about the weather!
Thanks Everyone

No Sympathy for Matthew Johns
I have no sympathy for Cronulla Rugby League footballer Matthew Johns for him being sacked from his positions in the Australian Rugby League and his Channel 9 Media Role role on the Footy Show after it coming to light about his “gangbang” with a New Zealand woman “Clare” whilst he and his rugby team mates were on tour in New Zealnd.
No matter whether or not it was consensual sex or rape, a person in his role should know that the chances of it being leaked to the media in the future as it finally has, should know better.
The only people I feel sorry for is obviously the victim, but also his wife and his family, can you imagine how his wife must of felt being on A Current Affair as his voiced his shameful apology to millions of people across Australia.
At the moment John’s is stating that he fears for his safety, well of course he would, at the moment Matthew Johns would be one of the most hated people in Australia, and no-one will ever forget what the past antics hae has put upon himself.
I don’t think his relationship with his wife will last too long, unless she is truly a strong woman.
Apparenly the victim showed off about the incident, well maybe she did, but whatever happened, it is news across Australia now, and poor Matthew Johns has lost his job, his reputation and alot more.
I wonder where Matthew Johns will be in a year from now? Waterboy for the Cronulla Sharks maybe?
Or will he have a breakdown and do something stupid?
Let’s wait and see.
Matthew Johns Confession Interview 1
Ban Jumps Racing in Australia?
Should Jumps Racing be banned in Australia?
Three Jumps horses have died in Australia in the past week and it looks likely that the Jumps Racing in Australia may soon come to an end after a 177 year history of it in Australia.
Since records were kept there have been over 300 deaths of Australian Jockeys in race falls since 1844 and no doubt many thousands of race and jump horses since that time.
Personally I think that Jumps Racing in Australia should be banned, but where does it stop, should the Olympic spout of Equestrian Horse Jumping be banned also? I am sure many thousands of horses have also died in that sport also.
The RSPCA is tomorrow launching an Australian wide media advertising blitz in regards to Jumps Racing Bans in Australia, so no doubt those advertisements will pull at the heartstrings of many Australians, both rural and city wide.
Tonight I saw a very interesting epidose on the ABC 7.30 Report tonight about the controversy that the possible ban on jumps racing is causing to both people who are protesting against the sport, and also to the people who are in the racing industry.
Read the full Jumps Racing Ban Transcript and you can also watch the video of the actual race which killed one of three horses that day. I must warn you the video is graphic and off a horse dying after breaking its neck … very sad.
The person who filmed that race is Llewellyn Fowler, a young school girl who was filming a Anti Race Jump Documentary for one of her school projects and just by chance numerous races that day obviously resulted in the deaths of three horses and the injury of numerous jockeys.
There is also one trainer David Londregan is threatening to cut off his horses heads if a permanent ban is introduced, what will that achieve? Nothing.
As I have said above, I believe that Jumps Racing should be banned in Australia, not only will it save many horses, but no doubt the lives of jockeys in the future. It’s just not worth the risk anymore to carry out these races, simply for the sake of making money, human entertainment and the lives of both jockey and horse.

About K9 Dog Rescue
K9 Dog Rescue Nambeerlup Mandurah
K9 is run by a group of ordinary, but very dedicated volunteers who are concerned enough to take action against the increasingly inhumane treatment of man’s best friend…….. THE DOG!
Since it’s incorporation in 1990, K9 Dog Rescue has rescued and rehomed many thousands of dogs. The group would not be able to carry out its work without the generosity and constant day-to-day support of local veterinarians, newspapers, local businesses, the general public and most importantly YOU!
K9 is a non-profit organisation operated by volunteers, and financed entirely by donations, membership and fundraising.
K9 tries to educate the public about the need for sterilisation of all dogs that are not for breeding purposes, this goes a long way to reducing the number of strays and abandoned dogs which can ultimately find their way into Pounds and K9 Dog Rescue.
Our aim is to rehome abandoned, mistreated and unloved dogs while trying to advise the public on responsible pet ownership. K9 supplies veterinary care and find new homes for dogs and puppies due to be destroyed at the Pounds. We rear abandoned litters of pups, take in rescued dogs, and whenever possible rehome dogs that are caught up in a family crisis. We rehome well over 500 dogs per year. Some of our new owners come from as far afield as Shepparton, Victoria, Darwin, Alice Springs and one even in Norway (Europe!).
All dogs taken into our care are vet-checked, vaccinated, wormed, sterilised and flea treated. It can take days, weeks and sometimes months to find suitable homes for our dogs. In this time K9 ensures the dogs receive the best possible care available.
Swine Flu Pandemic – Should We Panic?
Swine Flu Masks! Have you got Your Swine Flu?
Well at the moment this Swine Flu Influenza Epidemic is causing global concern and no doubt alot of mass panic! The World Health Authority has raised the official alert level to phase 5, the last step before a pandemic. Something the world has not seen since the the Hong Kong Flu in 1968 – 1968 which resulted in 1 Million Deaths worldwide.
So the question is should we Panic?
Well to tell you the trust I am quite concerned, at the moment my Mother is in a Western Australian Regional Nursing Home, so I am definately worried about her, and winter is only just a couple of months away. I feel like I just want to bring her home for her to be safe and sound … we all know Nursing Homes are a haven for contagious flu’s and disease.
I must admit, I do feel alot safer living in Country Western Australia, than what I would feel if I was living in a capital city, such as Perth, Sydney or Melbourne. Thank God I’m a Country Boy …. as the saying goes…. lets hope that saying rings true!
The thing that also really concerns me is at the moment there is no way of stopping the spread of Swine Influenza, there is no current Vaccinne, and to make a vacinne for the worlds population of 6 billion plus people would take years! I just heard on ABC 7.30 Report that it will take a year just to make 350 Million Vacinations for the Swine Flu…. now thats a reason to consider panicking!
Read the following 7.30 Report Interview Excerpt about the Swine Flu
KERRY O’BRIEN: There’s a lot of talk about the rush to produce a vaccine for this strain of virus, and you’ve talked about the limitations of those vaccines that exist now. But even if an effective vaccine is produced in, say, three or four months, it’s still a massive task, isn’t it, to pump out the vaccine in sufficient volume to circulate to hospitals around the world.
LAURIE GARRETT: Well, with current technology it can’t be done period, full stop. It’s not possible. We’ve never – using the current method, which is actually a very, very old method of producing vaccine on chicken eggs – we’ve never managed to produce more than about 300 million to 350 million doses per year for the entire world.
So to get up to 6.5 billion doses is going to be quite a feat. There are attempts now to create vaccine using different vehicles than chicken eggs for creating it. Growing them on various kinds of cells, and having different methods and biotechnology for producing vaccine. A lot of interesting things in the pipeline, but it’s going to be tricky to get a totally new technology up and running in time for – to address this effort, and then to come up with ways of demonstrating safety in advance.
KERRY O’BRIEN: On the balance of probabilities, what are your biggest fears right now?
LAURIE GARRETT: What happens in the next few days will tell us whether what we’re dealing with here is a garden variety flu that just happened to have gone through pigs, but is no more likely to produce death and devastation than a normal flu; or whether we’re dealing with something that, indeed, is a significant killer flu.
And I would just remind you that we’re heading in the northern hemisphere towards the end of our flu season. Actually, typically we’ve already passed the end of our flu season, so this is already a strange outlier event.
It’s only the beginning of the flu season for folks in the southern hemisphere, and if this virus does indeed circulate down into the southern hemisphere, then all eyes will turn south to see what happens below the equator with this virus in circulation, and what we’ll be preparing for and bracing for in the northern hemisphere is October.

Right now if this flu reaches Australia’s Shores, I honestly feel like taking off to the Outback for the winter! But doing that is pretty stupid isn’t it, but I guarantee you, that many Australian people will be thinking the same, and no doubt alot of people will.
Looking at Google there is already rumours of a Swine Flu Conspiracy going on obviously carried out by the United States Government … what a laugh that is!
And already people are profiting of the Swine Flu, just looking at the Ebay Swine Flu Face Masks
In anycase, I am not going to waste my money on any Swine Flu facial masks, I just made a $5 bid on a Swine Flu Survival Kit on ebay, so I reckon I’ll be safe from the Swine Flu … touch wood!
All jokes aside, please do not let the Swine Flu turn you off from eating Pork, this is going to have a huge detrimental effect on Australian Pig Farmers and their income, so please continue to buy Pork from your local Country or City Butcher, just like I did today, we need to support these farmers, eating pork will not give you Swine Flu!
Swine Flu Victim!
