Fincon T-Shirt

The poll has closed, but... we haven't got the result yet coz it's even between white and grey. I Think we should have another poll to have the winner. So please dear finconers, vote again but this time you only choose one of two. I also checked these two colors at Giordano and they both are available from XXS to L. Note : this poll is closed today... at 5 am !

PS : available color at store only in white, black, grey, dark blue, brown, and 'cream' (hard to explain this one.. hehehe)

THE WINNER is GREY with score 8 : 5

Free Rice Donation

Guys...

I just found out a website that offers education, entertainment and a way to change the world ― all for free. This educate us in English vocabulary, entertaining because it sort of like a quiz, and the prize of every correct answer you donate 2o grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger. Isn't it a very good way to make every each of us join together to help the world ?

But be aware.. the vocab you'll play is very hard ! Almost every word is a new word, never been heard before (by me or by you....). So, prepare your dictionary, or you can googling for the correct answer. It's fun to know that you can help other so easily.
So why wait ? Click on the banner to play your vocab quiz and start donate free rice !

“What if just knowing what a word meant could help feed hungry people around the world? Well, at FreeRice it does . . . the totals have grown exponentially.”

- The Washington Post

“Web game provides rice for hungry . . . FreeRice went online in early October and has now raised 1 billion grains of rice [by November 9].”

- BBC News

“Addictive, yes. But . . . each correct answer results in the donation of rice to help feed the hungry around the globe. Perhaps that qualifies the game as a good addiction . . . one with redeeming qualities, something that’s, oh, didactic and edifying.”

- Kansas City Star

“People from all walks of life and from around the globe have written in to express their appreciation for the game . . . Secretaries admit to playing it during boring business meetings.”

- Christian Science Monitor

“FreeRice.com is one of the most ingenious websites of 2007. In the best spirit of the Internet, it offers education, entertainment and a way to change the world ― all for free.”

- Los Angeles Times

“Every grain of rice is essential in the fight against hunger . . . FreeRice really hits home how the Web can be harnessed to raise awareness and funds for the world’s number one emergency.”

- UN World Food Program

“A teacher of fourth and fifth graders on the Yurok Indian reservation in Klamath, CA, . . . emailed the WFP. ‘My students absolutely LOVE the free rice site. Almost daily they earn several thousand grains of rice!’ she wrote. ‘You cannot imagine the joy in my heart when I look out and see 25 kids doing vocabulary work and enjoying it.’”

- School Library Journal

“Feeling guilty about wasting time on computer solitaire? Join the growing guilt-free multitude at FreeRice.com, an online game with redeeming social value.”

- USA Today

“The Web site offers a greater gift, the gift of awareness about world hunger.”

- NPR National Public Radio

“Freerice.com is an international, viral sensation. Folks from Thailand to Germany and India are just as enthusiastic . . . improving thousands of lives, all with a simple, collective, click of a mouse.”

New Poll

Dear Finconers,

We have another poll. This time is to choose the color of our new T-shirt. So please poll today and make sure you choose your color before 11 April. Btw, since the design is still in progress, make sure you choose the color that can't go wrong with any kind of design, or we might be caught by fashion police ^^

Please poll.. and we'd be very glad if you have any idea related to the design...
