Hello and good evening to you all, I currently have a samsung galaxy s2 fone, which I think is absolutely superb, I also have a laptop as well. Now i'm considering getting an andrioid tablet as well, ive ben looking at a few on amazon, etc
Including this one....http://www.amazon.co.uk/NATPC-M009S-Capacitive-Gingerbread-Responsive/dp/B006M07X34/ref=cmcrprsimst
I must stress though that i'm on a budget...i'm looking for one thats got a usb port as well, at least one, lol. I'm not after anything too fancy,...
my friend bought this one, and I saw it but i didin't really like it its here...screen response seems a bit slow http://www.amazon.co.uk/MiniGadget-MG638-Google-Android-Tablet/dp/B005ERD1MS/ref=sr17?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1330971104&sr=1-7
My budet is around £100, so pls if i can get some advice links to the ones at a reasonable price, that would be much appreciatiated, as my cosin would like one also, will use to watch vids on youtube, emails, general web surfing....maybe a camera, webcam, and maybe some purchases...i would pruchase the lookout prem for 1 year for eztra security.
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
The first capacitive touch screen option is streets ahead of the second one, it also comes from Wendy Lou she is probably one of the best known and trusted android tablet sellers on amazon but do read the reviews and also check in the support forum

Title says it all! I want to copy my contacts from a google nexus 4 to a samsung galaxy note 10.1
I'm not a 'techy', and I need simple advice!
Hello and good morning to you all. I currently have the brilliant galxy s2 mobile handset, and ive got loadz of apps that ive downloaded onto it. I ordered an android tablet via Amazon uk, it came this morning, and its brilliant....ive already downloaded lookout premium and installed this on my android tablet, as lookout allows me to add a secondary device. ive downloadded facebook, and one or 2 other apps, but if I want to intall quite a few other apps that I already installed on my glalxy s2 do I now have to downlaod EACH app individually?? or is there a quicker way please??
Did you look at the bit of software in my final post on your earlier thread? Your other thread.3 more replies
I know this question is a bit weird, but I tried to find the answer and no luck or maybe I don't know how to properly research it.
Anyway, I got a bit curious about the Android OS on the phone and the tablet, and I thought if they are the samething or two different OS.
I mean the reason I asked is that if I got a tablet and download a "Steam App" to chat. Will it look like a phone style or not?
I mean I did try it on the school's iPad, and it look like a phone app. Yeah I know, I was just testing if it'll make a big screen rather a tiny ass screen on a 9.8" iPad.
The OS is the same - the issue is whether or not the developer formats the app to take advantage of the larger real estate on a tablet. If not, Android will blow the app up to fill the screen.
Does anyone know if there is a program available (free if possible) similar to Quicken (Deluxe) that I could use on my Android Tablet(HP 10 Tablet G2 -2301)? That would keep track of bank accounts and interest earned, and keep track of one stock IRA and interest earned and yearly RMD? And produce reports for that interest earned, etc.? Mainly for using when preparing yearly tax forms.
Have you looked at Mint.com?
does anyone have knowledge of/experience with the Insignia Tablets? I saw an 11.6" screen model, 32GB, Android 7.0 with a detachable keyboard for $130, which seems fairly reasonable. I only need a tablet for the most basic things: email, surfing the net, etc.
Are there any other tablets in a similar price range? Thank you.
Hi all
My mind is boggling with all the tablets that are available.
I would like your opinions on which is the best on a low budget.
I have been leaning towards a Gemini joytab.
I need a 10" screen and I will be using it for the Internet and basic things such as email etc.
Thanks in anticipation
I am a tech enthusiast who does not have the money to fund his habit. As such I am not able to update my tech as often as I desire. Also when I do it requires much saving and a painstaking amount of research on what I will ultimately spend my hard saved money on. Now obviously research should always be done especially on such pricey purchases so as to avoided the dreaded buyers remorse that undoubtedly occurs because Technology updates so frequently. So while I mull over slash save toward my next computer purchase which I am hoping will be a fanless Surface device I find myself surrounded by ancient technology by which to check email, browse the web, and use social media at home. While my Lumia Icon is great at this I really want a tablet with a 7 inch and up screen to use at home both for the added screen real estate and so my Lumia is not discharged when I need to venture out of my home. So my question is what is a good budget windows tablet that I could purchase for under $100 while I save toward my ultimate goal? I have heard that the HP Stream 7 and WinBook TW700 might fit this bill and was wondering if anyone could offer their experiences with these devices. Thanks in advance.

My budget is below RM 1000 (around 250USD right now..., max 350USD), I want a tablet that can play 3D games (like Six-Guns, Halo: Spartan Assault, Project Spark, Windows 10 Store games) and was running smoothly.
Specs I HOPE I can get:
64-bit Windows (32-bit acceptable, if possible, please tell me some apps that doesn't support 32-bit)
4GB RAM (2GB minimum)
Thank you.
I am looking for the cheapest Windows 8 tablet available. I am getting one to replace my ipad and one for my uncle. The best I can find is a refurbished Dell XPS 10 with winRT for $200ish. I can also get a new Vivotab Smart with atom proc for $400. Ideally I want an atom proc, but the price difference may be a bit much. Are there cheaper atom tablets for less than $400? I don't want to spend that much since its mostly for leisure use.
I am also curious about web browsing performance. The atom will be faster than the ARM one, but by how much? And will the ARM one be faster than my old ipad? The other thing is there is supposedly flash support for both. How good is the performance?
Lastly. Is there any news of Windows 8 getting Words with Friends? It's available on Windows Phone 8, but not regular Windows 8. I am a WWF addict. I also play a lot of Scramble with friends. Other than web surfing, these are the only two must have apps. I have a bunch of friends both real and fictional that play them so substitutes wouldn't work.
The ARM will have much better battery life than the Atom, but the Atom will be somewhat faster and can run x86 applications (doesn't use RT).
For only $400 i'd go with the Atom, but it has half the battery life of the ARM version.
I am looking for a Windows tablet within £200 to £400.
I need it for basic Microsoft Office programs and I need to be able to run the python IDE "Idle". What are your recommendations and if you recommend a tablet, can you also recommend a keyboard and case if available. Thanks for any help provided!

Yeah i own a tablet and i mostly use it when im bored to open the pc or when i want to play some games which are only on the android... But still i use my Windows Phone more than my tablet.18 more replies
I have just bought one of these with the intention of reading the occasional ebook from my local library. However when I connect it to my PC (Vista Home Premium)I get the message "Device driver software was not installed" also "Windows was unable to install your Android for Vortex Driver Software". Anyone come across this before? TIA, Peter.
I frequently get that message with my Android smartphone especially on my laptop. I haven't solved it yet. Hope that someone else knows better.
Try another USB port in the meantime.
Hi my grandson having limited cash resources as asked me to buy him an Android Tablet PC. Has anyone any advise for me or purchased one as I would love to hear from you. Kind regards Keith
Keith: well, I bought one off eBay. It?s called an ?ePad? or ?aPad? ? basically, it?s an unbranded tablet, although it seems to be widely available. It?s a 10.2? screen and cost me £160 including postage. Impressions?Well, build quality seems slightly on the flimsy side, although I?ve had no problems in the couple of weeks I?ve owned it.Google says that Android really isn?t ready for tablet devices yet, and it shows. The ?operating system? for the ePad is kind of a kludged up version of a phone operating system. That makes it sound much worse than it is: it?s really not too bad. It can be clunky and slightly erratic, but it?s fine. It ain?t no iPad, though, in terms of slickness and usability (or build quality). But then, it?s not at an iPad price either.It accesses the web pretty well via WiFi and also has an adaptor for an Ethernet cable. It?s an OK ebook reader (probably not up to the standard of the Kindle) and is generally fun to play with. Music volume isn?t great, photos look OK (but not as sharp/vibrant as on the iPad).Things to look out for. Since I got mine, there have been a couple of firmware updates. My eBay seller has been really good about making these available 9and also providing technical support). You have to be pretty comfortable with technology before embarking on a firmware update.My understanding is that Android Market ? where all the cool apps are ? isn?t necessarily supported by all Android tablets. It?... Read more6 more replies

I am considering getting an Android tablet at some point.
My primary use for such a tablet would be as an e-reader.
At first I was considering Kindle but I´d never gotten around to getting one, and this was before Ipad hype.
Now when you look for e-reader/tablets it´s all Ipad Ipad Ipad. I effin hate Apple due bad experience with ipods.
I am not going to start flaming apple or anything, let´s just say I´m not getting an Ipad.
The positive about it though, at least I think, is the screen size.
Seems good for e-reading and it give the option to do other stuff with it also.
And I´ve already tried to use my HTC Desire as an e-reader, not exactly a pleasant experience.
So I am looking for a tablet with the same screen size as Ipad, but powered by Android.
And I found this Android 2.1 Tablet PC
http://www.gindart.com/buy/7-google-android-21-tablet-pc-wifi-ebook-3d-game-epad-apad-p-1370.html:7 inch touch screen, wifi connection, Google Android Market, Google Android 2.1, 3D graphics acceleration / Gravity Sensor GAME, ARM 11 high processor, all these attract me. The high light of this Android tablet is 1080P Full HD video playback while Apple ipad cant do.
Should I set my sights on this tablet? or continue looking?
Hope you can help.
Kind Regards
I got an Android Tablet for Christmas. It is not a top of the line one, but it has the web and email and appears to have things that most tablets do. I have tried to learn how to use this thing but am having little luck. Is there a place to go that teaches the fine art of using one or is it just hit and miss. My Owners manual was very poorly written and is of little help. Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
This is for a phone, but I used this to understand the basics behind my wife's Samsung Galaxy Tab:

Just received this little dear, and very pleased with it - EXCEPT I need a stand for the tablet, and it seems very difficult to acquire one. My tablet measures 10.5inches horizontal, and 8.5 inches vertical. I am also looking for a stand so that I don't have to hold the tablet all the time.
Unfortunately, I cannot find the right size for my requirements. I am quite happy to BUY one of those "gizmos" that also combine a BlueTooth keyboard, for a reasonable price. But I really need a way to protect my tablet from scratches and potential DROPS!

Can you use files created on Win 10 in an Acer 500 tablet? I want to use an external drive
I'm not sure what you are asking. Do you want to use your tablet as an external drive? Yes, that would work, but probably not the best method. You potentially could be shortening the life of your tablet, and they generally won't give you much space anyway.
If you want an external drive, pick one up. You can get a 500 GB very cheap now, and would give you many more times the space as a tablet.

First of all I hope I'm asking this question on the right Helproom? Anyway here goes...I would like to purchase a budget price Tablet around £70-100. I only really want it for transporting Word documents with me which I need for reference when I'm studying. I have read so much information on these gizmos that my head is bursting. Can someone explain please, can you load Word document onto them and can you edit such documents? And would a 7" screen be adequate?
Yes, you can view Word documents onto Android powered gizmos but you need additional software which comes in two forms one of which is free. There is a bit more information on the Android website.
Whether you would find a 7" screen adequate I don't know, I would find it small, but then I'm retired!!! The only way to find out for you is to try it - ask in the store it's cheapest.
As for being in the right forum, again yes.

Your tablet would need to use an Intel processor, which is not very likely. Windows 7 only runs on Intel/AMD processors and for the upcoming Windows 8, you can only go to the store and buy the Intel/AMD version. If you have an Intel tablet, then you would just need to partition the storage into two partitions (one for Android, one for Windows) and then install Windows in the blank partition.11 more replies

I sent off to get a Micro SD for my tablet. It came today in good order, but I also received something I was not expecting. It looks like the Micro SD but bigger and the Micro SD fits inside of it. It says "Adapter" on the side. I am guessing I could put the Micro SD in the Adapter and use it on something else. The Adapter is about an inch by a half inch. This brings me to my question. What kind of device would use this? Thanks,
PC and laptops may have SD slots for SD cards which, like USB thumb drives, are just another method of storing and transporting data. The adapter fits into the SD slot. If PC does not have the slot, there are external USB peripherals that do.4 more replies

Main aim is how to use the tab as a satnav - does that need wi=fi, or 3G, and if so, do I need to have to pay for a data package?

Just a thought, try using IMAP instead of POP3, on both devices instead of POP3, should help keep everything synchronised with each other.2 more replies
if sombady instaled windows 10 on android tablet?please i wil windows 10 on my tablet i this posible...
This is not currently possible. Windows 10 requires an x86/x64 processor. I don't know of any Android tablets that use an x86/x64 processor, most use ARM processors which Windows 10 does not support directly.
Windows 10 for Mobile may eventually support android devices... There has been some talk of Microsoft releasing ROM's for existing android phones and tablets, but so far there has been no official announcements.
There are some cheap android tablets I'd like to try IoT on to run just a couple of specialized apps I would write. It wouldn't need a full blown Windows desktop or mobile OS. It looks like IoT would be perfect for this. Is it possible to put it on one of these tablets? Has anyone done this? And is there any information available on how to do it? So far, I've only seen information about the Raspberry PI.
Plausible! A good Myth Busters response...
I say plausible because I read Windows 10 IOT will run on Raspberry Pi. Just did a search on Bing and very cool links for this. Anyway, I think the Raspberry Pi has fewer resources than many android devices, so I'm guessing it will work. However a quick search came up empty. So plausible!
Good luck and keep us informed of your progress!!!

Welcome to the Ten forums.
You may wish to google resetting device. You likely already have tried powering down and on, a soft reset.
If it is stuck in a loop I would search google on how to do a "Factory or Hard Reset"
Caution.... this deletes all data. Pictures, contacts, texts, notes, installed games etc. There may be other cautionary notes with respect to your specific tablet. Hopefully you were backing device up to Google.
There are also some very good Android forums sites which may be better versed in the ways of Android. Good luck.
Can anyone advise me the best way to download video to a tablet some sites allow me to download and other don't there is no option being offered.
I have tried using download apps without success, would rooting my tablet overcome this issue.

Santa needs to bring two Android tablets to my house at the near end of the year. I know technology goes from leaps to bounds but any suggestions from today's tech. on what is the best Android and what to look out for? Bearing in mind two children are aged 9 and 7. I haven't a clue about these tablets. Obviously they should not be overly expensive, as my lad will surely find a way of breaking it, but not too cheap either. I've been on Amazon and noticed that ram and storage have been upgraded for the same price. Wondering if Android is the way to go because Apple is out of my financial league. Thanks.
Have a look on Amazon for Cube U9GT2 they are 9.7" capacitive touch screen (the same high quality screen as the ipad2`s have) running Android 4 ICS they come with either 8 or 16 GB internal micro sd cards, I have used both but was unable to notice any real difference, prices vary quite a bit so shop around
Cheers HC
Every single review about surface/windows RT has limited app selection as a CON and saying the tablet app is no comparison with iOS and Android. They group Android and iOS together, make it looks like Android tablets have the same app selections as iPAD. While I agree that iOS is way ahead of RT at this moment (both quantity and quality), I doubt that Android really have that much advantage over RT in terms of tablet app selection. My knowledge is a bit dated, but last time I used my Nexus 7 (late 2012), the tablet optimized apps was very limited. Most of the apps I used were phone apps enlarged. I understand that theoretically, Android apps should be rescaled based on resolution and screen size, but still, using up-scaled phone apps on a tablet is not a great experience. However, since phone apps do work (even not optimized), I believe developers have less incentive to make a tablet version. If data from Metrostorescanner.com is to be believed, Windows 8 store has 124,437 windows apps as of now. I believe over 90% is compatible with Windows RT. So unless tablet apps grown significantly on android in the last 10 months (I dont know honestly), I seriously doubt that Android has more tablets optimized than RT. Also, a lot of the functions of the android apps (especially system tools) are baked into windows system, i.e. task managers/ file managers/Network drives/network utilities etc. In fact, many Android apps are trying to mimic windows system tools.

Simply put. Yes.
I run Windows 8 on my PC, own a Surface 2 - answer to your question = yes, android has more apps.
However, your angle on necessity of those apps is correct. It's all down to the user - see what you would use a tablet for then ask / do research on if there's either an app for it, if it's built in or if there's another way to go about it. I've found that a lot of apps are unnecessary because of the full-fletched browser.
Hello folks. Right up front I'll tell you I'm an android guy. However, my Nexus 7 tablet recently bit the bullet. I think I would like to replace it with a Windows tablet. My reasons are basically to use it in place of my windows laptop.
So my questions...
Can the tablet do most things the windows laptop can do? Can I EASILY hook up to my WiFi printer? Just like the laptop? Does the Windows tablet OS act just like computer?
My son has a Windows phone (HTC 8x) and I must say I don't much care for it.
My wife is always yelling for the kids to bring down the laptop so she can do some work while watching TV. I am just trying to find out if a windows tablet can do most of what the laptop can do.
Thanks for reading, I appreciate your responses!
There are two types of tablets. The RT version and the W8 version.
The W8 version is the full Windows OS. So whatever you want to do with a laptop you can do on it. Keeping in mind that not every program is made for touch but you should do ok for most things.

Hello, Bleeping Computer,
I once downloaded rkill onto my Android 4.2.2 tablet to then install onto a windows xp pc ,I successfully transferred rkill to my pc but I remember not being able to find the rkill on my tablet to delete it- I forgot about it- but now a year later, my tablet has lost its internal mount sdcard script or possible hardware failure but recently I got it running again and scanned it with Bit Defender free and the very first file it scans is 'rkill' so i wonder if it may be the rkill causing the bootloops and mount failures.
I cant find it anywhere on the tablet but i cant access its internal sdcard so it may be on that or in Data,
but I can do a factory reset in stock recovery so its probably not in data but on the internal sdcard.
Storage reader states it is /actj not mounted with 2.1gb.
Its a bit of a struggle getting it into recovery but the last time I factory resetted and it works for about 4days then bootloops, last time I managed to root it so if I could mount the internal sdcard in terminal I could delete the rkill or delete the rkill via terminal.
Other thing to note is as its an Actions Semiconductor Dual Core so it refuses to adb but terminal su's ok.
At present im trying to get it back into recovery to try again, as It seems to stall on android boot logo just before lockscreen, in fact lockscreen showed for a few seconds before it went back to android boot logo,(this is not an urgent request by any means as ive already replaced it but still,) ...

Hi everyone. I want to get my music and photos from my home pc with Windows XP into my Android 4gb Tablet. As its only a small memory do I need a micro SD card? Is it just a case of connecting the tablet to the computer and streaming music & movies onto the SD card?
Any help would be appreciated
There are a couple of ways you could get the files from your PC onto your GoTab and yes you should get a micro SD card. If you have a card reader you can use that to drag the files from your PC onto it then simply plug it into the GoTab. Or you can use a USB cable to plug the GoTab into the PC and drag and drop them that way.4 more replies

Hi Martin,
I don't think so few of the tabs that come with the mini HDMI ports as well are video out ports.
For this to be possible we would need video and audio in ports on the TAB. However, this doesn't seem to happen in near future due to lack of demand for a feature like this.
Getting a video through USB seems to be impractical task, but we don't know what would be possible in coming years. Keep us posted with the results so we can advise you further.

Hi, I can use my talk talk account to view emails but want to get inside my old outlook express from laptop on a tablet, lenovo s6000 if it matters. Deleting on talk talk doesn't delete on my laptop, it's just a window to view what's new so the emails are building up in outlook. Please can someone offer any guidance. Many thanks, Ben.
Outlook Express is an email client. It came as part of Microsoft XP and previous MS Op systems. An email client is a program that can, collect from and send email to, the email web servers and stores the emails on your harddrive and is able to open the emails for you to read.
An Android tablet is not able to open the microsoft windows program Outlook Express.
Can you explain in more detail what it is you want to achieve? are you wanting to delete some of the emails on your laptop? Are you still using the laptop and collecting emails with Outlook Express? The only way the emails will be "building up in outlook" is if you are collecting them, and if that is the case then delete them in Outlook Express.

I have an Android tablet (Asus Infinity TF700) that has a share app called "MyNet". I have shared several folders on my PC (Win 7). The external PC drive (Root J: ) shows up on the tablet, as well as a shared folder. But when I open the J: drive or a folder on my tablet, only one sub-folder shows up, and then only one sub-folder of that one. Yet, windows tells me that the entire external drive is shared to everyone. I have also gone into the folders and sub-folders and shared individual sub-folders and even individual files. Windows shows that these are all shared with everyone, but still only the same few show up on my tablet.
I can share files between my tablet, my phone and a second tablet (all three share things no problem.) But no matter what I do to the sharing on the PC only the same few folders and files show up on the tablet. The ones that do show up will display OK on the tablet (Music/Video/Photos etc.)
I have McAfee Security and it controls Windows firewall, but I don't understand that if either of these were a problem, why would SOME files and folders, and the whole J: drive even show up?
Any help would be welcome.
Try disabling McAfee temporarily as well as the firewall to see if that's blocking it somehow. Personally I don't like McAfee but that's besides the point. Sounds like your tablet doesn't have the right permissions to view the files. You can allow users to view the directories but not contents. Try allowing 'everyone' to have full permissions and make sure it's not hidden. It could also be the software you're using, MyNet. McAfee could be blocking the port it's trying to use or the software itself considering Android is just Linux.9 more replies

Attention, New Agers and others seeking spiritual sustenance through music: Tapestry, a Boston-based vocal ensemble of three women, will perform at St. John's College's McDowell Hall at 7 p.m. Sunday.
This group's spiritual programming draws from a variety of sources. Its concerts abound with music of the medieval period, Eastern European folk songs and religious chants, Hebrew prayers, and contemporary fare.
The group's recent compact disc, "The Fourth River: The Millennium Revealed" (Telarc 80534), makes for fascinating listening.
With a fourth singer and a percussionist, Tapestry performs such mystically charged selections as Byzantine chants, a 10th-century pilgrim's ode to the glory of Christian Rome, a tribute to the Angels of the Apocalypse, prayers from Judaism's High Holy Days liturgy, and Robert Kyr's "Dance of Life" inspired by the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes.

Professor Nicholas Johnson of Fordham Law School reveals untold stories of gun ownership among African Americans. While history tells the story of civil disobedience among Black Americans, there is also a long history of armed self-defense.
Watch the Interview – Glenn Reynolds and PJTV
Negroes and the Gun: The Black Tradition of Arms
Chronicling the underappreciated black tradition of bearing arms for self-defense, this book presents an array of examples reaching back to the pre—Civil War era that demonstrate a willingness of African American men and women to use firearms when necessary to defend their families and communities. From Frederick Douglass's advice to keep "a good revolver" handy as defense against slave catchers to the armed self-protection of Monroe, North Carolina, blacks against the KKK chronicled in Robert Williams's Negroes with Guns, it is clear that owning firearms was commonplace in the black community.
Nicholas Johnson points out that this story has been submerged because it is hard to reconcile with the dominant narrative of nonviolence during the civil rights era. His book, however, resolves that tension by showing how the black tradition of arms maintained and demanded a critical distinction between private self-defense and political violence.
Johnson also addresses the unavoidable issue of young black men with guns and the toll that gun violence takes on many in the inner city. He shows how complicated this issue is by highlighting the surprising diversity of views on gun ownership in the black community. In fact, recent Supreme Court affirmations of the right to bear arms resulted from cases led by black plaintiffs.
Surprising and informative, this well-researched book strips away many stock assumptions of conventional wisdom on the issue of guns and the black freedom struggle.

Game of Thrones – 6.10 – The Winds of Winter
Holy shit.
What an outstanding season. This show continues to top itself each year, this was perhaps the best finale they've done: spectacle, suspense, surprise, revelation, gore, murder and a total overpowering of the patriarchy. This episode contained a number of extraordinary and satisfying moments and managed to make us hunger for season seven without having to leave us dangling off any cliff-hangers like last year. This was a finale that served as a perfect closing chapter to a brilliant season and I can't wait for the next one.
The soundtrack surpassed itself, the opening sonata in King's Landing is just absolutely phenomenal and has been heavily rotating at my home since the episode. They definitely need to get Miguel Sapochnik directing for every season. That entire sequence was brilliantly tense and a dynamite way to open a finale. It is up there with Hold the Door as my favourite moment of the season. In one fell swoop, so many characters just got eliminated from Season 7! Tommen's suicide was beautiful and artful. Pycelle's version of "For The Watch" seemed a little unnecessary. I appreciated that it was a nod to the book but I don't know why he was not made to blow up in the Sept with everyone else: the Grand Maester didn't appear to do anything particularly reprehensible to Cersei to warrant this separate punishment so I'm not sure why that's there really other than to reference a moment from the books (that actually happens to one of the characters IN the explosion). God knows what's happening to Septa Unella but I think I don't need to add her to next year's league. I'm so pleased that this year I got to bust out the points behemoth "is officially declared ruler of Westeros", I wasn't expecting any character to gain it, but I'm pleased to bestow it on Cersei. Long may she reign.
Arya said she was going to Winterfell, but has instead stopped at the Twins to exact revenge on Walder Frey. I am glad that she was the one to kill him as he deprived her (and us) of reuniting with her mother and brother but I REALLY hope she finds out that Jon and Sansa are at Winterfell and gets her arse back there instead of being consumed by revenge. If she is heading north, it's possible that she might cross paths with the Brotherhood Without Banners and have a reunion with the Hound.
I also think that the Brotherhood may run into Melisandre now that she has been banished south. With nowhere else to go, it makes sense that she would look to finding another priest of R'hllor. Melisandre did say back in season 3 that she and Arya will meet again - and The Red Woman was on Arya's list. Perhaps all three will clash at the same time and Arya will kill Melisandre for abducting Gendry.
Jon's exile of Melisandre was a good call, honourable and decent: what you want in a leader. I am hoping that Sansa can be as humble as Theon to stand aside and let the right person be in charge but it doesn't look like it. Littlefinger has sowed seeds of dissent and her jealousy at not being given credit for rallying the Knights of the Vale could break up this once happy pairing. And, er, you know, you'd probably get more credit for getting the Vale Knights to turn up if you'd, you know, actually told someone that they were coming, but whatever, Sansa.
And yet this whole power struggle for Lord/Lady of Winterfell might just be moot as Bran has now made it to the Wall and is heading south. He is the rightful heir of Winterfell so hopefully in season seven he will claim his title and keep us in visions! There IS a weirwood tree in the castle grounds, as we were reminded this episode, so hopefully that will come into play next year. I thought the transition from Lyanna's baby to Kit Harington's dark brown eyes was an exceptionally beautiful moment, although predictable for most of us. While we know now for certain who his mother is, what was missing from this revelation was the impact it has on Bran. I'm not sure why the sound is muted when Lyanna is telling Ned what to call her baby, whether it was to keep the identity a secret until the visual cut to Jon or that his name might not actually be Jon. I hope the former as the latter's stupid. What will happen with this revelation next year? Perhaps Bran returns to Winterfell and tells Jon about his mother, leading him on a quest to find out who his father was, if not Ned...though at this point a large percentage of the audience has already figured this out!
There is a theory that if the magic that stopped the wights and White Walkers from entering the Three Eyed Raven's cave is the same as what prevents them from passing the Wall, Bran's mark from The Night King may result in those enchantments not working. However, we've already seen those enchantments fail when Jon, Ghost and Jeor Mormont had a wight fight in season one at Castle Black. For safety's sake, Bran should probably just have gone by boat around Eastwatch-by-the-Sea. In fact, I'm not sure why no one has suggested this before: Bran's arms work, it's not like he can't row!
Filming restrictions at the Alcazar of Seville means that Dorne scenes are always hurried with little time for pause. The new alliance between the Martells and the Tyrells (well, Tyrell) should mean that the Sands will be travelling out of Sunspear, allowing for some fleshed out scenes in the future.
The scene between Daenerys and Tyrion was emotionally resonant and one of the finest in the series. They make terrific scene partners, Clarke and Dinklage are at their best when they are together and I'm encouraged at their alliance, crossing the Narrow Sea into Westeros with a massive fleet, an army of Unsullied and Dothraki and three bigass dragons.
I can't wait to see Cersei's face when Tyrion turns up in King's Landing with the posse. Ha!
But presumably, the Targaryen fleet will get into an over water battle with Euron Greyjoy and his war machine before that moment, with perhaps one of the dragons getting quite badly injured or dying, so that the eventual fight against Cersei's forces won't be too one-sided.
So, onto the scores for the finale: Despite EIGHT fantasy league characters dying in this episode, this was the second highest scoring episode of the season, behind The Door. You will learn who the Season Six champion is after some final points on how some debatable scores were permitted.
Possible points of contention:
Arya should have received Witnesses Magic points for the Waif's facial transformation back in episode seven. That has been amended to her score for that episode.
Grand Maester Pycelle and Ser Loras both get points for having the first line. Loras makes the first noise, Pycelle is the first fantasy league character to speak a line of dialogue.
Kevan and Lancel gain points for encountering each other for the first time this season, as do Mace Tyrell and Ser Loras.
Arya gets haircut points for her transformation before killing Walder Frey. She only gets minus points for killing Frey, not his sons, as that occurs off screen.
There is sufficient walking and plotting in the Winterfell gardens for Littlefinger to gain points for walking around a garden plotting. However Sansa does no plotting so she does not get points.
There is no walking in the Water Gardens of Dorne so none of the Sandsnakes or Olenna can gain plotting points.
Sansa, Jon, Tormund and Davos gain points for eating but not for drinking wine as its unclear what drink they have in front of them.
Varys gets points for crossing the Narrow Sea twice as he arrives in Dorne from Meereen then inexplicably is back in Meereen in time for the end of the episode.
Grey Worm, Missandei and Tyrion get points for encountering only Viserion and Rhaegal as they have recently had a scene with Drogon. Varys, Yara and Theon get points for encountering all three dragons.
The last spoken dialogue from a fantasy league character is Qyburn crowning Cersei, but the last noise is from one of the dragons and it is difficult to identify which. As such, Qyburn and all three dragons gain points for having the last line of the episode.
Everyone in the final scene gets points for being the last on screen as the final shot is a giant wide of the entire area, so all arguably were the last on screen.

The Leaderboard
Players can see their scores by consulting their initials in the table below. This week's points champion is AA who managed to claw her way into the top five with this episode's highest score of 493!
I would also like to give praise to RCB, HC, DT, AA, SR, YD, MS, LH, AB and NA for managing to avoid getting a negative score for any episode this season!
This year's wooden spoon goes to JM whose poor team made him score negative points for all but three episodes, leaving him stranded on minus points until finally the finale which brought him to an overall total of 99 points.
…and the winner of the Game of Thrones Fantasy League Season Six is…CH! After blazing ahead with gaining nearly 900 points for episode five, it remained all but impossible to catch up with her for the rest of the season. This was an outstanding achievement, considering that she was one of the few players to have not picked Jon Snow for her team. Had she done so, she would have had even more of an unbeatable lead. Absolutely well done, CH, I will be in touch about your prizes very soon!

Whale Island,
14th Sept.
H. M. S. Brisk
My dear Mr. McLean,
You will be glad to hear that the expedition is safely landed and in possession of Opotiki. We arrived off there at daylight on the 8th and the Huntress piloted by Levy at once started with 200 men to cross the bar but the rascal deliberately ran her ashore though I had pointed out the passage to him. We only succeeded in getting those men landed from the stranded steamer, when it came on to blow and we had to put to sea for two days. Meanwhile they got the Huntress afloat again, but with a broken steam pipe which my Chief Engineer has since repaired, and I had the Huntress out across the bar yesterday -
We have had great difficulties to contend with from the weather and even now there is about 20 Tons here to be landed which I am taking on board here from the Lady Bird so as not to obtain her - Huntress will be most useful to them at Opotiki so I have told Mr. Stalker to remain there for the present - I have put a 6 pounder gun into her and supplied her with 50 fathoms of Chain Cable as hers was not trustworthy - Our Sailmaker also finished her sails, and she is now in an efficient state; but tho' her draught of water is very well suited for the service yet she has not sufficient power as the freshes are strong.
The weather today does not admit of broaching the bar, and so I am sheltering under Whale Island which has been a most friendly asylum for us. The Huntress will want coal before long but she has enough to do the work in the river for some time as I gave her 10 Tons at Hicks bay -
Yours very truly,
Charles W. Hope.

The other night I asked Kyle to pick out a recipe for dinner. I wasn't expecting much but was very surprised by his choice. He found a recipe off Eat Better America, Turkey Sausage Stuffed Sells! It turned out to be one of the best Italian dishes I've ever made. I was a little hesitant because I knew it would take awhile to cook and I'm usually ready to eat about 6:00 or 6:30. It wasn't ready till about 7:45 but was so worth it.
The recipe seems like a lot of steps but it's not too bad. Especially when you have help!
Cook your sausage until browned. mix together your ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese.
Cut your cooked pasta in half to make it easier to stuff.
Pour part of your sauce into bottom of sprayed dish. Stuff your pasta and arrange in dish. This is the fun part!
Pour remaining pasta on top.
Cover with foil and bake.
Turkey Sausage Stuffed Shells
1 box of Manicotti shells
1lb lean Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
1 container (15 oz) light ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded reduced-fat Italian cheese blend (8 oz)
1 box (9 oz) frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed and drained
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 jar (25.5 oz) organic Italian herb pasta sauce
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Cook and drain pasta as directed on package, omitting salt.
2. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, crumble sausage. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until no longer pink; drain.
3. In medium bowl, stir ricotta cheese, 1 cup of the Italian cheese blend, the spinach and basil until well mixed. Stir in sausage.
4. Spread about 1/2 cup of the pasta sauce over bottom of baking dish. Cut manicotti shells in half. Spoon about 3 tablespoonful's sausage mixture into each pasta. Arrange pasta, on sauce in baking dish. Pour remaining pasta sauce over stuffed pasta. Spray 15-inch piece of foil with cooking spray; cover pasta with foil.
5. Bake 40 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Italian cheese blend. Bake uncovered 5 to 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
Served with a side salad and garlic bread!
I dare you to try it! Let me know how it turns out.

Imagine you had to do your taxes every year by paper. Spare a thought for millions of borrowers who now have to do just that when it comes to their college loans.
Some of the nation's most vulnerable student loan borrowers could have more trouble managing their debts thanks to the recent outage of a government tool that's expected to last six months, the federal consumer watchdog and borrower advocates are warning. The warning comes as lawmakers are set to review the decision to take down the tool, known as the IRS data retrieval tool, as part of a hearing hosted Wednesday by the House of Representatives committee on oversight and government reform. Much of the attention and outrage surrounding the tool's outage has focused on students applying for college, who use it streamline the process of applying for financial aid.
But without the tool, student loan borrowers will also likely find it more difficult to remain on manageable repayment programs. Borrowers using programs offered by the federal government that allow them to pay off their student debt according to their income, rely on the tool to seamlessly re-certify their income with student loan servicers, the companies that manage the student loan repayment process.
Without this online tool, student loan borrowers are forced to turn to a complicated paper process that's particularly difficult for low-income and other vulnerable borrowers, such as senior citizens, to navigate.
Now, they're forced to turn to a complicated paper process that's particularly difficult for low-income and other vulnerable borrowers, such as senior citizens, to navigate, advocates say. If borrowers miss deadlines to re-certify their income under the plans, their payments could suddenly spike. They're also at risk of having the interest capitalize on their debt. "I just foresee a lot of delays and a lot of errors, and these delays and errors are going to be costly for borrowers," said Persis Yu, the director of the student loan borrower assistance project at the National Consumer Law Center.
Yu sent a letter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Department of Education last month asking what steps the agencies are taking to ensure that borrowers have access to their rights as they contend with the tool's outage. In the past, borrowers have struggled to work with servicers to re-certify their incomes using the paper application and alternative documentation of their income, according to CFPB reports. That challenge is one of many documented by the CFPB that suggest servicers often don't provide borrowers with the right or enough information to successfully manage their student loans.
In her letter, Yu noted that servicers haven't been communicating clearly with borrowers about the tool's outage, which is particularly problematic, given that without the tool, a normally 15-minute process could take several days as borrowers work to track down the relevant documentation and mail in their forms. What's more, the tool's outage will likely result in a much higher volume of paper applications, Yu noted in her letter, which could lead to further hold-ups out of borrowers' control. "When things are good there are problems, so this is ultimately really concerning given that we know that this vital tool is down," Yu said.
Seth Frotman, the student loan ombudsman at the CFPB, echoed Yu's concerns in a response he sent Tuesday to her letter. He reminded borrowers that they're guaranteed certain rights, while navigating the income-driven repayment program, including the right to use documentation other than their tax returns to prove their income, protection from unexpected jumps in payment or periods of forbearance — a payment status that allows borrowers to pause their payments, but where interest capitalizes on the loan — as long as the borrower submits their paperwork on time and a grace period that allows borrowers 10 extra days to complete their recertification application.
The CFPB is "closely monitoring" student loan servicers "to ensure that student loan borrowers are treated fairly, including the anticipated millions of more student loan borrowers who will have to manually submit income documentation," Frotman's letter reads.

Sure, I do know, a few of you hate Tumblr, it is all a pile of dragon poop, and so on and so on, however for these of you who really *use* the platform, what're some usually informative and/or thought-provoking blogs that you simply comply with?
My solely major standards is that I would desire blogs with an even bigger tendency in the direction of written content material (tutorials, discussions, and so on) than aesthetic posts. I would additionally desire blogs with minimal self-advertising (Purchase my e-book! Take my class! I've received the hyperlink to my bandcamp queued as much as reblog itself thrice a day!).
So, any suggestions?

Two-time ironman champion Dean Mercer has died in hospital after a car crash on the Gold Coast on Monday.
Mercer crashed his car into a fence in the suburb of Mermaid Waters around 7am. He is believed to have suffered a medical episode while driving, which led to the accident.
The Gold Coast Bulletin reported paramedics worked to stabilise Mercer for around an hour, before he was rushed to the Gold Coast University Hospital.
He later died in hospital.
UPDATE: A driver is in a critical condition after a crash in Mermaid Waters. Police still on scene @firstname.lastname@example.com/BD2AH4Mje9— Sam Cucchiara (@SamCucchiara9) August 27, 2017
Mercer won two national ironman titles, in 1989 and 1995. His brother, Darren, was also a champion ironman who won the national ironman titles in 1996 and 1997. Darren's daughter, Jordan Mercer, is also a rising star in the sport, having won the national ironwoman title in 2016.
He grew up in Thirroul, just north of Wollongong on the NSW south coast. He later relocated north as he chased surf lifesaving glory, winning five NSW titles among a swag of career accolades. After retiring, he stayed involved with the sport, coaching junior lifesavers at the Kurrawa club on the Gold Coast.
This post has been updated to correctly state Jordan Mercer is Darren Mercer's daughter. A previous version incorrectly named her as Dean Mercer's daughter.
