New Overland Park restaurant to feature Mexican cuisine
A new Overland Park restaurant will be inspired by the cuisine of the Traqueros.
The Mexican railroad workers brought their regional recipes with them, but tweaked the dishes by putting in fresh local items from the different states they were working in. The dishes, cooked in the campsites, had a smoky flavor.
Traqueros Fresh Mexican Grill is scheduled to open in late February in the former Foster's Grille spot at 11831 Metcalf Ave.
Brothers, Bud and Bobby Cox, have been serving some traqueros-inspired dishes at their Coco Bolos Wood Fired Grill in Manhattan, Kan. They also own three Cox Bros. BBQ restaurants in Kansas and Iowa.
Scott Redler was so taken by the traqueros-inspired items, he decided to bring them to the metro in a fast casual concept. He has partnered with the Cox brothers and with Dave Dreiling to open the new restaurant.
The Cox brothers have cooked all over the south in their careers and their parents retired in southern New Mexico.
"This is the essence of the food we cook down there – simple, really flavorful," said Bud Cox.
Cox said the new "upscale but casual" concept will allow them to reach more people. It will have an exhibition kitchen. Customers will order at the counter and a server will deliver the food to their table.
"Our grill is a smoker grill. Everything will be made fresh daily and prepared to order," Redler said. "A lot of restaurants just dish it up and hand it to you. That's fine. But this is like you are in Mexico and a mom-and-pop restaurant is making a dish fresh for you."
The menu will include freshly prepared tacos made with steak, fish, smoked chicken or pork, entrée salads, chilled burritos, specialty mini pizzas and a signature stacked enchilada called the Traqueros Trainwreck, which the partners expect to be the most popular dish.

A BIG what IF...
View Single Post
Dec9-03, 01:00 PM
Ok, I am not in any physics courses, programs, associations, nothing.
I have never taken a physics course
But I was just wondering a few things.
1) If you take two pieces of radioactive material, one of which is more radioactive than the other and put them beside each other, would anything happen. Specifically, would particles from one move towards the other?
2) An electromagnetic field. How would it interact in the presence of radioactive particles. IE, would it move, shift, or become altered in any way. And could you measure how much it moved?
3)When a magnet moves about a coil of wire, electricity is generated down the wire, yes? And the effect is produced by the electromagnetic fields affecting the electrons in the wire, or in the field itself?
OK, so if by moving an E-Field around wires, you make electricity, and If(IF!) radiation could move an E-Field enough, could you not place radioactive materials between an E-Field, causing it to move, and making Electricity? And if one were to say that on a large scale this would be too inefficient, could it be done at a smaller scale, with arrays of these devices working together (lets forget timing for now.)
If anyone would like to comment, please do. BTW, I am the poster child for laymen-ness in the world of physics. Thanks.

Saudi Arabia funds support for Rohingya Muslims
Saudi Arabia yesterday announced a contribution of $ 1.88 million toward UNHCR's humanitarian program in Myanmar providing shelter to Rohingyas in Rakhine state.
A memorandum of understanding to this effect was signed by Yousef Al-Bassam of the Saudi Fund for Development and Imran Riza, UNHCR's regional representative in Riyadh.
The contribution will enable the UNHCR to provide temporary and permanent shelters for around 75,000 displaced people. After signing the agreement, Riza highlighted the importance of such assistance in terms of value, timing and significance in improving the living conditions of many of displaced people in Rakhine state.
On behalf of High Commissioner Antonio Guterres, Riza expressed his highest appreciation and deep gratitude to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah, for this generous contribution which clearly reflects the Saudi leadership's response to humanitarian crises.
The partnership with the Saudi Find for Development involves collaboration with Pakistan in terms of providing permanent shelters to the displaced people.

The view from Villa Tsaki is more stunning than it is shown on the website. The villa itself is well equipped - truly a home away from home. We enjoyed the villa's "hardware" and were equally impressed with the "software". Our 2 daughters aged 13 & 11 loved playing with the 2 feline friends Bella & Benno. We were well looked after by Irini, the kind and efficient helper. Our departure flight was in the evening. Wim was extremely flexible with our checkout time. We will certainly be back! Highly recommended! TMVA from Hong Kong ps: A big thank you to Kate for recommending.

Currently the furthest sector that we know of. I'm sure another one will show up if we keep walking. This is just past the Fern Gully sector where the ridge line comes to a "second point" (the first point being the End Zone). I can't even list any routes here because we haven't done any yet, but I can tell you there will be another dozen classics in this cluster. If you're badass enough to walk this far, clear some brush, and get some FA's, let me know.
Getting There
Keep on walking past Fern Gully. You will come to a T in the road and some rock formations on your right. This is Elk Rocks. To get to the Second Point enter the woods here to the LEFT. The boulders are hiding just beyond your view from the road.

Wedding day
It's my last blog. Firstly I would like to apologize that I wrote so little. But to say the truth I have had a very busy month. Maybe in the future I will be able to write for you something more about my country and my city.
Last weekend I spend on my cousin's weeding. There was a lot of fun! On the weeding, there are "oczepiny" and then we play In many games. For example, the bride throw her flowers and this girl, who catch it, is the future bride.
The most funny game was playing with chairs. There are for example ten girls and nine chairs. The girls are walking around chairs and there is played a music. When the music stops every girl have to sit on her chair alone. The girl without chair is looser. And finally there is one girl who is a winner. But in the middle of the game girls have to sit with special things for example a glass with vodka or with a man's trousers. So there is usually a lot of laugh.
And what traditions do you have during weeding?

Wedding day is a special day especially for a couple to begin spending the rest of their lifes together, everyone get a smiling face on that day. In my country there are a lot of traditions and types of ceremony, since here is also a culture melting pot. But there is one thing will be the same in most countries that the groom is going to the bride home to take her to the wedding ceremony, during this porcess there will be a little bit different in each countries. In my country there will be tom-tom and mini orchestra accompanied by the groom and his family on the way to the bride home. After arrive at the bride home, the groom has to encounter a lot of the bride friends and family. There will be a lot of negotiations due to the bride's friends and family will use gold necklace stretch out to obstruct the groom and he has to give them some gifts to pass it. Finally the groom can take their bride to the ceremony but it is not finish yet. At the wedding the groom will be asked to kiss the bride several times, everone will be happy to see the couple blushing on their faces.

I'm from India ,so I would like to share how weddings happen in here.A typical traditional wedding in India are very bright events, filled with ritual and celebration, that continue for several days . They are generally not small affairs, with anywhere between 100 to 10,000 people attending. Often, it is possible that many of the attendees are unknown to the bride and groom themselves.Many of the wedding customs are common among Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and even Muslims. The bride wears beautiful jewellery and groom usually comes to the wedding on a horse.
After attending the rituals ,people dance to the tunes of Bollywood music.The days end with a huge feast.

Hi Karolina,
Firstly, I wonder what you mean by "weeding"? But after reading the whole post, I figure out that you actually mean "wedding", aren't you? Correct me if I'm wrong :)
I think the game you told us is quite common around the world, since I happened to see that game here, in Indonesia, too.. :D

Hi Karolina,
The way we are passing with you here at B.B.C. learning English | Student blog for this month not a very good as you have posted very few posts. However we have enjoyed all the pasts for choosing the great subjects. In my last reply I also requested to write regarding the days you are passing on your cousin's wedding. Thank you very much for writing on that.
Wedding ceremony is one of the best moment for all the human being, family members, relatives, neighborhood no doubt about it anyone I think. Though we are enjoying this moment in different way in different places. Like my country - Bangladesh, different religion's people are performing it in different way based on their financial condition. But everyone like to make the moment special one with their FNF. The basic structure is groom go to the bride's place - after performing all the staff, they(groom and all of his companion) return his house with the bride and does rest of the formalities. :)

Hi Karolina,
This is my first ever comment in this website. The game you mentioned above is called Musical chair in India, where i hail from. This game usually conducted in school competitions. Coming to wedding part we spend a lot of time in talking with relatives simultaneously getting arrangements for the occasion rather playing games. There is a tradition in northern part of my country where the sisters of the bride hide the shoes of groom, and the groom team has to search for it. You can observe this in many Hindi movies. Some play cards, we celebrate the occasion by singing and dancing also.

Hi everyone,
This is my first comment is this blog. I'm very happy as I found it. I think it's really helping and interesting too.
In my country, Spain, the weddings are so important for people, specially the wedding reception. The bride and the groom invite a lot of people, around two or three hundred or even more. People always wear smart clothes and women usually go to the hairdressing to make up and do their hair before the wedding.
In my area the newlyweds' friends often play a joke on them. They put their gifts (always money) into a strange, difficult-to-take-out place, for example in a big jar of honey or even worse. I'm sure that the newlyweds don't find it so funny than their friends...
See you.

Hello Karolina!
I have had smile when I was reading your wedding post. I imagine how fun it would be to play this game for adults, as so my daughter used to play it in the preschool's party and I remember very well this game. To catch the bride's bouquet is very widespread in my country too and there is a fight for it between the girls, as much every of them want to catch it,though this story in my country has continuation,the bouquet you have catch you must put under your pillow at night and you will see in a dream your future husband. As my country is very traditional the wedding we have also is very traditional. First dance must be performed by newly-weds and it must be the special Georgian folk dance. I think our wedding parties are conservative.
Thank you for your post and possibilities to express myself about this theme.

It is glad to be a British male because only men on wedding day would be made fun by bridesmaids in Hong Kong, and the games which play on that day is quite " dirty" in terms of the content. For example , the bridesmaids from the bride's side would force the groom to wear underwears in front of all people in the party or force the groom to eat some "solid waste like" objects. What do you guys think if u were being played on that day and time ?

Hi everyone,
This is my first comment in this blog too. It was interesting to read posts about wedding traditions and ceremonies all over the world, i want to share with the one of the peculiaritues of my country. I'm from Kazakhstan. As a rule it's a bright event with a lot of people (nearly 150 - 250 people). Everybody comes very beautiful, elegant and smart. The beggining of an evening feast is following. Entering a banquet, a bride cover her face by bridal veil, closing her face. A bride must greet all the relatives of her future husband. A singer in improvisation song specifies the names of relatives (at first) - after singer specifies the names the bride makes greeting (by inclination of the body), relatives, in its turn receiving her greeting by giving money to her, further in his song he mentions his closest friends (of the bridesmaid) - again she make a greeting, and receiving money (quite modest sum) and other people that have a straight relationship to him, usually a lot of regards from her. After mentioning all the people from his side, the song finishes, and to the end of this ceremony the tray is full of money, that is the first contribution to their family. So after all the regards the singer opens her face, stripping off bridal veil. This tradition calls translating in english "Opening a face", in kazakh language - "betashar". Then all guests take their seats and enjoy the feast.
Hope I could clearly explain and hand over the meaning of our tradition.

This is priceless -- Amanda Bynes was flat-out rejected from a private jet flight in Jersey this weekend ... after trying to use GOOGLE as a substitute for her government ID, sources tell TMZ.
Amanda is denying anything happened -- but sources at Teterboro Airport tell us, Bynes (wearing a velour jumpsuit and giant glasses) showed up at the private jet terminal on Sunday for a flight to L.A..
According to sources, the pilot was checking passenger IDs -- it's a really small terminal -- and Bynes revealed her driver's license had been suspended ... and she had no other form of government ID.
We're told the pilot informed Bynes she needed a form of government ID to fly -- per TSA regulations -- and she then ordered him to Google her as proof, screaming, "I'm Amanda Bynes!"
The pilot called someone from the jet company to see if they could get some kind of exemption for her, but the jet rep was adamant ... no ID, no flight ... and that was that.
The private jet company wouldn't comment for privacy reasons.
I think her and Lindsey Lohan are pulling a Joaquin Phoenix prank on us! They must have been given millions to play the real life roles of child stars who went insane. The problem is, no one told them when it ends!
i seriously doubt anything is wrong with this chick, let's be honest if it weren't for these little "episodes" she would have faded out by now. i'm thinking she saw how much publicity britney got during her breakdown days, and how lohan gets covered with her crazyness so why not, crazy sells
I have flown by private jet and was never asked for ID...surprising that they didn't just let her walk on and take off. If you pay for it they usually don't care who you are!
its obvious she wants to be lindsay. same tangled weave, same antics, same got dressed in the dark look. now that lindsay is in rehab, someone has got to fill in for her on tmz.
Oh we'll back to coach
if she lost her ID how did she get there from California in the first place?
I don't understand why he didn't take the drivers license as proof. Just because her driving license is suspended, it is still a form of I.D. She is just not aloud to drive. I don't get it.
How the hell did she go from the "girl next door" to the crack ho next door? Why WHY WHY Amanda would you do this to yourself? You WERE beautiful they way you were!!! BEAUTIFUL!!
In Amanda's defense, I'm seriously wondering that if she physically had her "suspended license" and showed it to the airport personnel why would they refuse her getting on the private jet? Or did she not have an ID at all...........
who is she? an actress?These newbies are nothing to talent agents stop wasting your time on REAL TRASH
Typical behavior from someone pushed into fame at such an early age.

Norway's Boasson Hagen wins first Alpine stage
Latest update : 2011-07-20
Norway's Edvald Boasson Hagen picked up his second victory at this year's Tour de France on Wednesday, winning the first of three Alpine stages. France's Thomas Voeckler dropped 27 seconds but held on to the yellow jersey.
AP - Edvald Boasson Hagen of Norway won the 17th stage of the Tour de France Wednesday, the first of three in the Alps. Thomas Voeckler held on to the yellow jersey, but lost time after riding off the course on the final descent.
In the race for the overall victory, defending champion Alberto Contador made repeated attempts to get away from his rivals, but was caught on each occasion. He finished in the same time as Cadel Evans, the Schleck brothers and Samuel Sanchez. Voeckler lost 27 seconds and is now 1 minute, 18 seconds ahead of Evans.
Boasson Hagen completed the 179 kilometers (111 miles) across the Alps from Gap to the Italian town of Pinerolo in 4 hours, 18 minutes. Bauke Mollema of the Netherlands was second, 40 seconds back, with Sandy Casar of France winning the sprint for third.
It was the second victory for Boasson Hagen and the fourth for Norway in this year's race. It was also a form of revenge, after he was beaten into second by his compatriot Thor Hushovd on Tuesday. "It was very difficult yesterday, and today I was able to do better,'' said Boasson Hagen.
"I felt I was capable of attacking on the last climb.''Second place went to Bauke Mollema of the Netherlands, after Frenchman Jonathan Hivert crashed on the perilous final descent of the Pramartino. Sandy Casar of France was third, while Hivert got back on his bike and came in ninth.

Fitness bands and mobile health gadgets were rated as two of the three most popular types of wearable device in a recent survey conducted by Nielsen.
Some 61% of respondents chose fitness bands when asked about their wearable-device preferences, with 17% picking mobile health devices.
Meanwhile, 45% of respondents opted for smart watches.
Most fitness band owners (57%) said the ability to self-monitor was a major factor in their decision to purchase the technology, along with concern about their health.
A group of telehealth and scientific experts has come together to form a new telehealth company calling itself the TeleHealth International Partnership (TIP).
The TIP (Atlanta, GA, USA) says its mission will be to deliver worldwide access to healthcare through the innovative use of technology, including telemedicine and health information exchange.
M2M hardware player u-blox has reported strong growth in revenue and profits last year on the back of rising demand for Internet of Things technologies.
The Swiss company said that net profit rose by 44.3%, to CHF24.6 million ($27.94 million), between 2012 and 2013, while revenues grew by 27%, to CHF219.8 million, over the same period.
u-blox (Thalwil, Switzerland) flagged major improvements in the Asia-Pacific and EMEA regions, but noted a loss of business in the Americas, where "several large US customers chose to outsource manufacturing to Asia".
Swedish telecoms incumbent TeliaSonera says it will support M2M connectivity in vans operated by mail-delivery company PostNord, with the aim of developing new fleet-management services based on the experience.
The pilot wills see TeliaSonera (Stockholm, Sweden) install its M2M technology in 20 mail-delivery vans in Stockholm, allowing PostNord (Stockholm, Sweden) to benefit from a range of fleet-management services.
Nearly 50 million "non-trucking" commercial fleet vehicles will be equipped with telematics technology by the end of 2019, according to the latest study from ABI Research.
The market-research company says that telematics services were first adopted by the long-haul trucking industry in the US more than 20 years ago, but that adoption of these services in the non-trucking sector will equal that in the trucking industry in terms of numbers of connected vehicles by the end of this year – and dominate the commercial fleet telematics industry by the end of 2019.
Technology services provider Xchanging has made a $1 million investment in enterprise middleware provider MachineShop aimed at supporting product development and sales and marketing activity in the Internet of Things (IoT) area.
Xchanging (London, UK) says it has partnered with MachineShop (Boston, MA, USA) since January 2013, but is keen to "penetrate the burgeoning IoT market further".
Logistics and supply-chain management player Ryder System says it has opened a new truck maintenance and rental facility in Schertz, Texas that will provide mobile maintenance and telematics services to its customers.
According to the company, the facility will offer a rental fleet equipped with GPS telematics technology, making Ryder the "only company in the market with a facility offering both vehicle rental and mobile maintenance".
Rand McNally says it has enhanced its fleet-management service through a deal with Drivewyze that will help commercial truck drivers to bypass weigh stations.
The Drivewyze (Edmonton, Canada) PreClear service allows drivers to clear weigh station requirements before reaching the location, and Rand McNally (Skokie, IL, USA) is to make that service available on its suite of mobile fleet-management devices.
The technology works by communicating safety-related data in real-time as a truck approaches a weigh station.
Altice has reportedly said it has no plans to increase its offer for Vivendi's SFR after bidding rival Bouygues raised its own offer last week, according to Bloomberg.
Altice (Paris, France) has the flexibility to revise its bid between now and April 4 – when exclusive talks with Vivendi (Paris, France) are set to end – but believes it has the support of Vivendi, which is likely to face fewer antitrust and other regulatory hurdles in a sale to Altice than one involving Bouygues (Paris, France).
New Zealand operator 2degrees says it has kicked off a three-month trial of 4G technology with plans to introduce commercial services by July.
The operator – the smallest of New Zealand's three mobile players – is running an LTE trial at ten sites in central Auckland, using 1800MHz spectrum.
The aim is to launch commercial services in central Auckland by July before expanding into the wider Auckland area and the cities of Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch by the end of the year.

In March the "Business Educators
Workshop" was held by the Business Enterprise Center to develop interest in the
Entrepreneur Camp among High School Teachers. In the afternoon, session of the
workshop, a discussion was held with the teacher to see what they thought
should be in the camp.
During the remainder of March
and into April, instructors were secured to teach the camp, room and space was
reserved for the camp and planing was started on what material should be
presented and in what way.
On April 16th a
planning meeting was held with the camp instructors, advisor, an entrepreneur,
to plan how the camp would be run and what the students would do during the
camp. Each student is to work on his or
her own business idea and develop a business plan for their business idea. The
students may work along, obtain help from their fellow camp members, or from
the instructors, or entrepreneurs at the camp. They will develop their business
plan as far, as possible in the two weeks of the camp. Materials will be given
to the students that they can use to continue working on the business idea
after the camp.
The instructors will have ideas of fun ways to introduce the students
to leadership and team work through actives that will also be incorporated into
the camp through out parts of the day. An advisor is working on developing
these activities. A business plan workbook is to be developed for the students
to use as a guide to use in developing their business idea.

Union janitors to return to City Hall, with less pay

Why exactly should MV taxpayers be paying more than the market price for janitorial services?
We cannot afford to lock MV into long-term contracts with high future costs. The union bids might be market rate now, but most have automatic pay raises in the future that will make them more expensive.
We should pay janitors a fair-market wage based on ALL competitors.
We have LOTS of burglaries in MV in the last year. Lets spend on more police protection, not on above-market janitorial costs. Or put it into the library, which has a direct benefit to the public.

@Jessica, thank you for excellent, must-read link
Deplorable that city council thinks $8.50/hour is an acceptable wage, while paying HUGE pensions to retired city employees (city manager, city atty, librarian, police, fire, etc)
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer...

University of Central Florida's new medical school scored a coup on Wednesday, when it earned high marks for its conflict-of-interest policies from a national organization of medical students.
The ratings were part of the PharmFree Scorecard, an evaluation of conflict-of-interest policies at the 152 medical colleges and colleges of osteopathic medicine in the United States.
UCF's College of Medicine earned a B on the scorecard, and placed seventh among the schools receiving that grade. As a new medical school, that was notable to the scorecard's creators.
"We were particularly impressed that this new school took the time to focus on conflict of interest and put in place very good policies," said Tim Anderson, the scorecard director and third-year medical student at Case-Western Reserve University in Cleveland.
Produced by the American Medical Student Association (AMSA) and the Pew Prescription Project, the scorecard uses letter grades to assess medical schools' performances in 11 potential areas of conflict, including gifts and meals from industry to doctors, paid promotional speaking for industry, acceptance of free drug samples, interaction with sales representatives and industry-funded education.
Florida State University's College of Medicine also earned a mention from the organizers because it was one of only two schools to receive a perfect score for limiting access of sales reps to faculty.
University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine earned the highest grade in the state, with an A. UCF, University of Florida College of Medicine and FSU's medical school all earned B's, while University of South Florida's and Nova Southeastern's medical schools earned C's.
Florida International University, which opened its medical school in 2009, did not have a policy or faculty in place in time for the scorecard, according to the medical students' group.
At UCF, officials were excited by the ranking. "I am pleased that we, as a new medical school, have been recognized for creating a strong conflict-of-interest policy. It is particularly exciting to be ranked higher than all of my alma maters," said Dr. Deborah German, UCF's vice president for medical affairs and the founding dean of the college.
German earned her undergraduate degree at Boston University, which was ranked 14th among schools receiving a B, while Harvard — where she attended medical school — placed 29th.
UCF's conflict-of-interest policies were drafted by a team of faculty members that included Dr. Diane Davey, Jeanette Schreiber, Dr. Lori Boardman, Dr. Ralph Caruana, Debopam Chakrabarty, Alex Cole, Diane Jacobs, Dr. Becky Moroose, Mark Muller, Dr. Loren Nelson, Audrey Pike and Scott Sumner.
Although more than half of the medical schools in the country earned an A or B — up from 30 percent last year — the medical students' group says that conflict-of-interest policies are a work in progress. Many of the nation's medical schools have started focusing on their ties to pharmaceutical companies only after the students' group began publicizing the issue and its scoreboard in 2007.
Last year, medical students at Harvard University made headlines when they protested their school's conflict-of-interest policy.
"No one has the perfect policy yet," said Chris Manz, a third-year medical student at Duke University and national chair of the American Medical Student Association's Pham Free campaign. "There's much work to be done to make sure that our future physicians are being taught at schools that are free of conflict of interest."
To look at the scorecard, go to amsascorecard.org and search by state.

"Hey, Mrs. V! I want to meet someone from Kansas and ask them if they have a KFC in their house. Oh wait….that would be in Kentucky."
Found this conversation from my second year of teaching…
Student: Hey, Miss At, have you seen Harry Potter?
Me: Yes.
Student: Hermione is SO hot!
Me: I'm for of a Ron Weasley kind of girl.
Student: Really? Miss At you seem like more of a Dumbledore girl.
Check out what these AMAZING people got for my students!!
A big BIG thanks to…
You are all beyond wonderful. I can't thank you enough!!
abuelo: grandpa
Mi abuelo tiene un cinturon, pero no tiene una camisa.
My grandpa has a belt, but he doesn't have a shirt.
The new school year is just around the corner, and like many teachers out there, I'm getting my new classroom together and struggling to cover all the supplies I need.
So I am going to ask for help from all you lovely tumblr folks out there. If for some reason you're rolling in the dough, or just can't figure out how to spend your money, I know 36 students would be very grateful for your generosity!

Whether you're a supporter of Walmart or not, I thought I would share this link for those of you teachers looking to save a few bucks. And let's be honest, Walmart really does have great back to school items!
This summer has flown by, and I realize I haven't shared much of my adventures here. So we'll start with this last weekend…Ever been to Hearst Castle? I'd never been before, and honestly didn't know much about it, but I was completely blown away!
These pictures are just from the estate grounds as well as the underground Roman Pool. Don't mind all the feet pictures, I was just obsessed with all the intricate tile work!
Just so you know, I love marble.
The Neptune Pool was empty due to a leak.
The Roman Pool is underneath the tennis courts!
The castle itself and the entire grounds are full of priceless antiques and history. Visiting this California State Park would make an AMAZING field trip! If you ever get an opportunity to go, you should definitely check this place out.
Dear Tumblrverse,
Before the explanation part of this post, I need to say this so it will be in posts that are shortened by a reblog: More than anything I ask that you reblog this post so that
kind millionairesmore people will see it and more support can be given. All the Amazon wishlists and blogs are linked below the read more link!
As the new school year approaches,
we are obviously in denialteachers are mentally figuring out what materials we need for the school year, what will be provided by the school or families, and what we will buy with our own money as we shop sales (if it is in our budget). Several members of our #education community on tumblr dealt with unexpected family deaths, weather disasters, or more happy (but expensive) life achievements like getting married or having a baby. Our pockets have been hit hard, and I think you'd be surprised how much of our own money we spend on classrooms each year.
Many of us teach in areas where our students' families cannot help with school supplies. In fact, as I began working on this project, every teacher I contacted to include that came from a more affluent community declined being included so that classrooms in greater need could be helped. I am in awe of the teachers in this community. After the jump is a list of teachers and their classroom wish lists for the upcoming year. If you are able to, please consider supporting a teacher via their wishlist. If you'd rather make a donation to their supply fund or send a gift card, I'm sure you could contact them and they wouldn't turn you down.
So after the jump are the blogs and corresponding wishlists from Tumblr's teachers — most of the educators on this list I have personally interacted with and know them to be dedicated to their students.
Yes! Anything you can do to help any of these teachers (including myself) is beyond a HUGE help!

25% of gay men see sexuality as a 'barrier to adoption'
A children's charity is appealing to gay men who are interested in adoption as it released the results of a survey that showed a quarter mistakenly see their sexuality as a barrier to becoming parents.
Action for Children said anyone who is interested in adopting should not let common myths put them off, as thousands of children are still seeking loving permanent homes.
The charity's poll of 235 gay men who have adopted or are going through the process, showed that 17% were told that they shouldn't become a parent - mostly by their own family.

When your kids are at home, keeping an eye on them falls on parents' shoulders and when you have teenagers with smartphones that can be a tall order.
A new company has developed a way to monitor your teens on their iPhones and Android phones.
Co-founder of TeenSafe, Ameeta Jain, stopped by the FOX 7 studios to explain how the service works with groundbreaking mobile monitoring technology giving parents the ability to see incoming, outgoing and deleted text messages, web browsing history, contacts, call logs, Facebook posts, and Instagram and WhatsApp activity through a secure, online TeenSafe account.
Many teens are subjected to cyber bullying, sexual harassment and peer-pressure issues that are often communicated through mobile devices without a parent's knowledge. Jain says TeenSafe provides parents with the ability to see these messages and intervene before any of these types of activities have the potential to do harm.
In addition to monitoring a child's activity for risky behavior, Jain says TeenSafe can also help validate a child's good behavior when using their mobile technology responsibly, which provides peace of mind to parents.

Tennis looks like if Vampire Weekend modeled for Urban Outfitters, and it sounds — if it's possible — like happily suburban ennui. That should help you picture its fairy-tale story, which begins with a boy, a girl and a sailboat and finds the first two taking the third one across the Atlantic, writing songs about it before featuring in blurbs like this one. They signed to Fat Possum roughly one year after all the whimsy began. There's husband and wife Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley, and James Barone rounds out the threesome's lush, candy-coated surf-rock, which recently hit another milestone: Earlier this year, Tennis excerpted its latest, Young & Old, in front of both Jay Leno and David Letterman — and millions of viewers.

New features announced by Google today for its wallet do not support NFC, but the search giant made it clear it continues to support the technology for in-store payments.
Google's vice president of wallet and payments has left the company, following a difficult tenure for the former PayPal executive, who had tried to establish the Google Wallet for physical world payments and offers.
The 10-year anniversary of the official birth of NFC came and went quietly on Sept. 5, 2012.
As Google readies the launch of the next version of its wallet, expected to feature the addition of a physical payment card, other mobile-commerce players, including Google Wallet partner Sprint, are gearing up with their own offers.
PayPal has an advantage over another big Internet player, Google, in rolling out payments at the physical point of sale because it already has tens of millions of payments customers on file with billions in their accounts "ready to spend," contends Don Kingsborough, PayPal's vice president for retail and prepaid products.
Gemalto CEO Olivier Piou predicted the France-based vendor would begin to see substantial recurring revenue from its trusted service management business starting in 2014 as mobile payment starts to roll out globally over the next three to five years.
UPDATE: LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Google plans to announce a new version of its Google Wallet by mid-November, which would include a greater role for offers and expansion of the platform to other devices, including a possible app for the iPhone, NFC Times has learned. END UPDATE.
Google is expected to make a major announcement next week related to its Google Wallet, NFC Times has learned.
Google has put an unlocked version of its Galaxy Nexus Android phone on sale for GSM networks in the United States, which would open up the Google Wallet to customers of AT&T and T-Mobile.
The departure of two key former Google Wallet staffers from the company to start their own mobile-commerce venture is throwing a spotlight on what have been internal disagreements at the Web giant over strategy for the NFC-based wallet.
Israel-based On Track Innovations reported new orders for its NFC and contactless readers in North America, along with the first shipments of its NFC-enabled Wave attachment, driving higher revenue, though the vendor's quarterly losses continued.
U.S.-based Identiv reported higher revenue and narrowed losses for the second quarter, predicting a breakeven or positive result by the end of the year, as the company's restructuring program draws to a close.
France-based Inside Secure reported a 9% drop in revenue in the first half, which it blamed on the end of shipments of NFC chips to BlackBerry and lower sales of "legacy" EMV chips to Europe.
NFC Times Exclusive: Westpac New Zealand's product chief told NFC Times he believes host-card emulation will reduce costs and increase flexibility, while ensuring the bank can use its own branded wallet.
NFC Times Exclusive: With interest in host-card emulation continuing to grow and SIM-based NFC rollouts in need of a boost, mobile operators and their global trade association, GSMA, are pushing for significant cuts in the cost and complexity of TSMs and lowering other hurdles that have discouraged service providers from provisioning their applications on SIM cards.
U.S.-based Broadcom did not mention NFC in its recent conference call with analysts following release of its second quarter results, in which it announced cuts to its global workforce of 20% by exiting the baseband mobile processor business.
A group of former top managers in Visa's mobile program have formed a start-up that plans to use NFC and BLE to deliver coupons, rewards and other offers to consumers in stores, using the branded apps of retailers or other marketers.
Visa Inc. has released a few more details of its planned tokenization service, which it announced last week as part of its Visa Digital Solutions "suite of offerings."
Transport for London today announced it would launch acceptance for open-loop bank cards and other contactless payment on its heavily traveled London Underground and other modes of transit in September, while the UK's largest mobile operator, EE, announced customers could begin to tap their NFC phones to pay fares at the same time.
Visa Inc. announced Thursday it would launch a tokenization service in September, as part of what it calls its Visa Digital Solutions "suite of offerings."
NXP Semiconductors said sales in its emerging ID business–mainly made up of its NFC chips–increased by 22% in the second quarter, compared with the first quarter, and CEO Richard Clemmer insisted the chip maker's secure element business would continue to remain a strong contributor.
Westpac New Zealand has announced a small trial of host-card emulation-based payments, with plans to introduce the technology to customers early next year.

RELATED: John Lingard joins Team Kylie
BENDIGO musician John Lingard will face the audition of a lifetime tonight when he faces four superstar judges on Channel Nine's The Voice tonight.
Lingard will attempt to sway the judges into spinning their chairs to face him and his style of music.
The 26-year-old is a recognisable face in the Bendigo music scene with sets at the Bendigo Blues and Roots and Rockin the Vines music festivals.
Lingard said he first picked up a guitar after his dad took him to see a John Mayer concert in 2004.
"It took a few years but that was the spark. It started the idea of wanting to become a musician," he said.
"I'm in no way looking to be John Mayer but songwriting is my passion.
"I love trying to find good melodies."
Lingard has previously performed well in the Telstra Countrywide Music Competition.
In 2012 he made the final of the solo performers category before making the semi-final of the songwriters category in 2013.
The Voice Australia is currently in its third season with Karise Eden and Harrison Craig winning the first two seasons.
This season sees the departure of original judges Delta Goodrem and Seal with international superstars Kylie Minogue and will.i.am joining Joel Madden and Ricky Martin.
