13-Year-Old Girl from Aflac Cancer Center Designs Carl Edwards' Car for Sunday Race
Carl Pledges to Donate His Portion of Race Winnings to the Aflac Canc er Cent er
Columbus, Ga. -- September 4, 2009 -- On September 6th, at Atlanta Motor Speedway, the No. 99 Aflac Ford Fusion will sport a colorful new look inspired by a 13-year-old patient at the Aflac Cancer Center. Aflac invited children at the Aflac Cancer Center and Blood Disorders Service to "Color Carl's Car" for the Labor Day weekend race.
The chosen paint scheme, submitted by Jody Lawrence of Greensboro, Georgia, was selected among 54 other entries as part of Aflac's month-long effort to generate awareness for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. All of the children's drawings will be featured on the pit wall banner for the No. 99 race team. Edwards will wear a matching fire suit and a white helmet signed by children at the Aflac Cancer Center.
People can join the fight against pediatric cancer by donating to the Aflac Cancer Center (ACC) through the Aflac Cancer Center causes page which can be accessed on Facebook.com or at www.aflac.com/aflaccancercenter. Aflac will contribute one dollar for anyone who joins the ACC causes page and will match donations up to $1 million.
Aflac Chairman and CEO Dan Amos kicked off the campaign by making a personal donation of $100,000 and challenged others to contribute to the fight against childhood cancer. Carl Edwards responded to this challenge by announcing on Facebook that he will donate his portion of the winnings from Sunday's race to the Aflac Cancer Center.
Aflac is also engaging NASCAR fans in the fight against childhood cancer through a text donation program which will run throughout the month of September. The NASCAR community can simply text "GoCarl" to 90999 using any carrier, to donate $5 per text, with charges appearing on customers' wireless bill. The NASCAR Foundation will match texted donations up to $10,000.
Childhood cancer is Aflac's primary philanthropic commitment and the number one cause of death by disease for young people under the age of 15. However, due to increased and improved research and treatment, since the 1980s, childhood cancer survival rates have improved from less than 20% to over 80% today.
"This is a wonderful campaign and a great example of how Aflac continues to support childhood cancer treatment and research," said Carl Edwards, driver of the No. 99 Aflac Ford Fusion. "I am proud to be a part of this effort."
"Aflac is combining our passion for fighting childhood cancer with our NASCAR sponsorship of Carl Edwards to raise money and awareness for a great cause," said Paul Amos II, Aflac President and Chief Operating Officer. "By showcasing Jody's compelling story we hope to inspire NASCAR fans to help raise funds and support the research and treatment that takes place everyday at the Aflac Cancer Center."
As an additional program element, Aflac has teamed up with Motorsports Authentics to create a special die cast car, featuring the special paint scheme, which was sold on QVC and is still available online at www.nascarsuperstore.com. As part of the initiative, five percent of all profits from the die cast sales will be donated to the Aflac Cancer Center.
To date, Aflac has contributed more than $50 million to the Aflac Cancer Center. More than 16,000 independent Aflac sales agents contribute more than $225,000 from their commission checks each month. The Aflac Cancer Center treats more than 350 new cancer patients every year and has the largest sickle cell disease program in the country. The center treated 6,503 patients in 2008.
Fans can download images of Carl Edwards and the No. 99 Aflac Ford Fusion on www.AflacRacing.com.

Tobio Kageyama from Haikyuu!!
Hinata and Koushi cosplay post here.
Tsukimi Cosplay from Princess Jellyfish V2
Tsukimi is an eccentric girl who has an obsession with jellyfish. She's from the anime, Princess Jellyfish.
I cosplayed as her in another one of her outfits in an older post. You can read the post here.
I'm turning 21 years old this year but don't I look young? Hahaha.
Tenma cosplay photo I forgot to post before. She is from School Rumble.
Haikyuu!! Cosplay
Haikyuu!! is a sports anime. Hinata and Koushi are volleyball players.
Cardcaptor Sakura – Sakura Kinomoto Cosplay
One of the photographers from Anime Evolution got back to me and I'm really happy with the photos. Photo credit goes to ETL-Graphic.
3 Cheap & Easy Anime Cosplays
Cosplaying can get pretty expensive, but here are three anime characters that shouldn't cost you a lot of money! These might also be useful for those last minute conventions when you don't have enough time to prepare for an elaborate cosplay.
1. Tsukimi from Princess Jellyfish
If you have medium or long black hair like me, you can tie your hair into braids. I found my grey sweater in my closet. I already had Clara, the jellyfish plush, but that's optional. All I bought for this cosplay were the red glasses from the dollar store. It was about $1.25. Here's a tip: Remove the lens from the glasses! I wish I did that when I took this photo because it wasn't the right prescription and I couldn't see clearly. Tsukimi wears grey sweatpants, but I feel that a lot of people own this already.
Total cost = $1.25
2. L Lawliet from Death Note
I bought a short black wig for $5. A wig requires a wig cap, but I already own a couple. If you are a guy or girl with short black hair, then you can skip the wig. I used black eyeliner I already had, and wore a white long sleeve shirt and jeans from my closet. The Death Note was a gift, but you can buy a plain black notebook from the dollar store and use a silver Sharpie to write the words on the cover. The only other thing I bought was the lollipop, which is an optional prop. The lollipop was around $3.
Total cost = $5 ($8 including lollipop prop)
3. Shizuo from Durarara!!
I bought the short yellow wig for around $4.90. I actually bought this one with L's wig from the same seller but this price is rare. The rest of my wigs cost more. If you have naturally blonde hair that is short, then you can skip this step. I bought a black bow tie from Daiso for $2. I had the rest – the dress shirt, vest, pants, and shoes. Sunglasses would also be good.
Total cost = $6.90
Some words of advice:
– It boils down to how creative you are. There are many characters with simple cosplays, but it's up to you to make it work.
– Don't worry about the littlest details. To me, cosplaying is about having fun and there is always time to improve in the future.
– If you are on a budget, you may want to consider thrift stores. If you feel that you won't wear the clothing item often but you need it for the cosplay, it's definitely a cheaper alternative.
I hope this post was helpful. Have fun and good luck!

Independent Learners
We are encouraging our children to be independent learners. You can help with this by giving your child the opportunity to dress and undress themselves, help with jobs at home and to be responsible for bringing their book bag, lunch bag and PE kit into school.
Welcome to RM
A big welcome to all our children who have come back to St Christopher's after the summer break and to those who are new to our school! We are delighted with how well the children have settled into RM.
Sunny days
outdoor learning is an important part of the early years curriculum so the children spend a lot of time outside. On sunny days please ensure your child has suncream, a cap and a water bottle. Thank you.
PE is on a Tuesday. Please can you ensure that your child's school uniform, coat, PE kit and PE bag is clearly labelled with their name.
We already have a lost coat and jumper. Can you check at home to see if you have an extra one please? Thanks
Book Bags
Please can your child bring their book bag to school everyday as we don't have a set day for reading. Your child will bring home a reading book. Please feel free to write any comments about how they got on in the reading diary. Your child will also bring home a library book for you to share.
Water bottle
Your child can bring water into school in a water bottle with a sports cap. The bottles need to be labelled with your child's name.
Our RE topic after the Easter holidays is 'Good News'.
During the first week we will be focussing on the fact that everyone has good news to share. To support this we are asking the children to bring in any good news from home eg letters, cards, emails, photographs, cuttings, certificates etc. which recall your or the children's good news. Please can you ensure that your child' s name is on the back.
Thank you
Our RE topic is 'Our World' We will talk about God's wonderful world.
The Big Question
What makes our world so
Music Day
Music day is Friday 23rd June.
Our class song is 'Can't stop the feeling' by Justin Timberlake. It is from the film The Trolls.
The lyrics have been sent home. Please can you help your child learn them.
Please can your child come to school on music day dressed in bright coloured clothes. (No football kits)
We will post some pictures for you to see after music day.
Thank you
Summer 2
After half term our new topic will be Journeys. We will be reading he book 'Mr Gumpy's outing'.
Summer 1
Our topic this half term is 'Healthy Me'.
We will be looking at why it is important to keep healthy and how we can do this. We will be talking about healthy food, hygiene, exercise and relaxation and the importance of sleep.
Good News
Our RE topic is Good News.
The children have enjoyed sharing any good news they have.
We have listened to the story of Pentecost and talked about the good news that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit so we can tell everyone about Jesus.
We said that we can't see the Holy Spirit but we can feel the effects. Just like we can't see the wind but we can feel the effects of the wind. We went to the dream room and we went outside to explore the wind using streamers and windmills.
We planned a Pentecost celebration and wrote invitations.
Homework task
Thank you to everyone who complete our winter pictures homework task. We were delighted with the response. Look at the lovely pictures!
We have been looking at the book 'Funny bones'.
We have been focussing on the first page.
We went to the Dream Room to listen to the first page and then create our own story map to help us remember it. We have put actions to it and are enjoying reciting the poem.
Spring 2
Our topic after half term will be animals. We will start by focussing on pets. We would love to hear about any pets you have. Feel free to send in photos of your pets. Please remember to put your child's name of the back. Thank you.
Spring 1
Our topic for this term is Winter. We have enjoyed discussing what we think Winter is like and the types of clothes we might wear in Winter.
We have looked at animals that live in cold places. We enjoyed doing the 'blubber test' to see how fat keeps animals warm in the cold weather.
We have enjoyed freezing water and melting ice.
We are now moving on to weather and weather forecast.
Autumn 2
When we came back after half term our topic was 'Harvest'. This linked to the whole school theme.
We read the story Rosie's walk and talked about all of the things she may have seen on her walk around the farmyard.
We made sequenced the story and enjoyed making bread.
Thank you to everyone who made scarecrows as part of the school homework project.
The BFG
To celebrate the life and works of Roald Dahl we listened to an abridged version of The BFG. The children loved the story. As the BFG catches dreams we decided to talk about our own dreams. We visited the Dream Room, which was like the BFG's cave and talked about the good dreams that we have had and any not so good dreams. From this we decided to make dream catchers. The children enjoyed weaving the string in and out of the holes. This was a great activity to further develop their fine motor control skills.
We created a sensory story by retelling the story using sound effects and actions. The children enjoyed performing this to the nursery children.
In maths we were learning about capacity. We discussed when things were full, empty and half full. We introduced non-standard measures and compared the capacity of different containers. Finally we decided to make a tasty drink for the BFG. The children had to decide and record how many cups of lemonade, black currant and orange juice would be needed to make the perfect drink!
Autumn 1
This half term our topic is 'Myself'

RALEIGH – Major McLean, a truck driver from Garner, plans to use the $224,632 he won playing Carolina Cash 5 to save for the future. McLean matched all five numbers in the July 1 drawing.
McLean learned of his good luck when he checked his numbers at the Grocery Boy Jr. on West Garner Road, where he made his winning purchase.
"I had to clean my glasses," McLean said. "Then I had to take them off to make sure I wasn't seeing things."
McLean received a check for $152,750 after state and federal taxes were withheld.
"I like to play Cash 5 because I know I have better odds of winning," McLean added as he collected his winnings. He beat odds of 1 in 575,757 to win the jackpot.
As of June 2013, the lottery has raised more than $2.9 billion to support education programs. The lottery completed its seventh straight year of record sales and record earnings for the state on June 30, 2013, recording a 5.8 percent increase in sales and an estimated 4 percent increase in earnings. Lottery dollars support teachers' salaries in grades K-3, school construction and repair projects, prekindergarten programs for at-risk four-year-olds, college scholarships and financial aid based on need and digital learning initiatives.

When your GMC Yukon left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values longevity in their automobile. GMC car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of dependability when driving their Yukon around town. Obviously, you didn't buy your Yukon unless you wanted to buy horsepower and great value both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV. You picked your Yukon because its reliability and trusted quality agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to superior quality auto parts?
An important factor in fuel efficiency is the appropriate mix of air and fuel. Your GMC Yukon has an internal combustion engine that mixes fuel with air before it detonates, and an air filter needs to remove dust and debris before it is ignited. If your engine did not have an air filter or air cleaner, your fuel would be filled with particulates from outside. This will clog fuel injectors and lower the octane in your fuel; leading to a lack of power produced by your engine. And unless your GMC Yukon air filter is replaced regularly your engine will be robbed of the necessary air flow needed to maintain optimum fuel efficiency. Clearly, replacement air filters are a necessity for everyone.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate GMC Yukon part for your project or repair. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. When your GMC needs the best replacement Air Filter & Cleaner, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. When it comes to GMC Yukon Air Filter & Cleaner parts, you can find them for 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

MAC vs. Vista Security
Emblematic of much of what's wrong with security and yet comic as well. MAC pokes Vista's security in the eye in this advert.
Update: This entry is getting hit pretty hard. I suggest reading Matasano Chargen's well reasoned writings on OSX security and Apple security issues in general. For Vista security, I suggest checking out Joanna Rutkowska's recent writings. Vista is still an infant from a security review perspective with everybody cooing about new features and architecture, but we won't really know what it will be when it grows up a bit. Securosis has a well reasoned weigh in on this religious war as well.Posted by Abner on February 13, 2007 04:39 PM
