For the nonprofit I work part time for, The PeaceJam Foundation: Sick 25k ship
Chase bank decided to give away $5 million via Facebook by doing online voting. For 1 month any non-profit in the guidestar database (over 500,000) was eligible to get a vote. The top 100 vote getters would take home 25k and move on to round 2. I found out about this when it first started and went crazy on trying to get PJ enough votes, and yesterday the results came in and we made the top 100!!! Ship it.
The next round is only the top 100 and starts on January 15th, lasting 1 week. First place of round 2 gets $1 million, and the next 5 get $100k. We're going for 1st place and I'm hoping LP can help get us there. So on Jan 15th I'm gonna start asking you guys to help out cause this money will make a GIGANTIC difference for PeaceJam. This is one of those rare times where you'll get to take minute and make a huge difference.
Anyway I'm super happy that we made the top 100 and that people came out to vote and support us. To get 1st place in the next round ain't gonna be easy, but I'm sure with the help of the poker and BW worlds we could totally get it done =)

| Researchers used brain scans to show that when straight men looked at pictures of women in bikinis, areas of the brain that normally light up in anticipation of using tools, like spanners and screwdrivers, were activated. | |

Oh I'll be blogging for sure! Probably will make a thread too on general chat (if it's ok, otherwise just lots of blogs). I'll do the reminding, you guys just do the voting, hah |
