Kendall and Kylie Jenner have grown into very beautiful and stylish young women and it seems that they may have a new mentor to help them progress even further in the fashion ranks.
Said mentor happens to be none other than the stylish Kanye West!
The two teenage sisters, who currently have two retail lines, a jewelry line for Nordstrom and clothing line for PacSun, have revealed they did not want advice from their Kardashian siblings.
In a new interview with the website Fashionista, the Jenner sisters spoke about their fashion designs.
Kendall Jenner, 17, said, "I mean with our clothing line and our jewelry line, we didn't want much input from them, just because we wanted this to be all us."
"This isn't their jewelry line. It's ours. We don't want their input on it. We didn't need it. We know what we're talking about for the most part."
Her 15-year-old sister Kylie added, "Yeah," and took the opportunity to speak about their new mentor.
"He's [Kanye West] such a creative person and he's really cool and it's, like, very cool to have him in the family now."
"He's such a nice guy. A couple of days ago, I was in the kitchen and so was he, and I was just talking about my clothing line and how excited I was and he was like, 'Your clothing line —I can help you and design. We can do this!"
"Like, whatever, because he's just kind of about taking over the world with fashion pretty much, and that's really inspiring," Kylie continued.
With the help from their latest style mentor we are sure some very chic creations will soon be emerging from the Jenner sisters' clothing line!

Forward Darren Helm played only one game this season because of a back injury, and his future is uncertain.
"I live in the real world and we need him at playoff time," coach Mike Babcock said. "We don't know what is going on and where we are today he's no closer today than he was in training camp. That's not a good sign. The optimist in me says he's a young man and … (he and the doctors) have to figure it out."
Helm is optimistic he'll be ready for training camp.
"It has gotten better, slower," Helm said. "Talking with people with back pain and back issues, it just takes time."

Modeling tools that support DB2 and forward/reverse engineering
I have been trying to get hold of ERWin for a long time now and have pretty much given up. What would you recommend...

as a modeling tool that supports forward /reverse engineering (with DB2 support), and where can I get hold of it? What would be the preferred tool, forgetting cost... and what would be the cheapest alternative?
A lot depends on why you've given up on getting a copy of ERWin.
ERWin still exists, and is currently sold by Computer Associates (http://www3.ca.com/Solutions/Product.asp?ID=260). You can purchase it though The Programmer's Shop (http://www.programmersparadise.com/index.pasp) and many other sources.
Although I'm often frustrated by ERWin, I always go back to it. It is the grand-daddy of the current generation of data modeling tools, and has just about every feature known to man. Computer Associates is not my favorite vendor, but they do buy very good products and expose those products to larger markets.
The cheapest alternative that I can recommend is Visio Architect, which is including in Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect (VESA). While this isn't "cheap", it is usually already owned by people that need to do data modeling. If you already own VESA, that makes the modeling tool essentially free.
There are a number of other modeling tools. Sybase PowerDesigner is a good choice. Rational markets a great modeling tool as part of their suite (very expensive, but very good). Oracle also markets a modeling tool, although I've never had good luck with it.

Papua New Guinea (PNG) is one of the last wild frontiers left on earth, first inhabited some 50-70,000 years ago. Home to 6.3 million people, PNG is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world with 848 languages on record.

Fox News' 'Glenn Beck' loses advertisers
Geico among those pulling ads after host's Obama remark
NEW YORK -- Some of the nation's biggest advertisers are distancing themselves from Fox News host Glenn Beck after he called President Obama a racist during a July 28 broadcast.Geico has pulled its ads from Fox News Channel's "The Glenn Beck Program." Lawyers.com, which is owned by LexisNexis, also has vowed not to advertise during the program, according to Color of Change, an African-American online political organization that has been spurring advertisers to stop supporting the show.
Additionally, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance and SC Johnson all said their ad placements during the broadcast were made in error and that they would correct the mistake.
The controversy stems from Beck's comment that President Obama is a "racist" with "a deep-seated hatred for white people."
Geico spent more than a half-billion dollars on ads last year, according to the Nielsen Co. It spent more than a quarter-billion dollars for the first half of 2009.
A Fox rep noted that Geico is dropping its ads from the show but was quick to note that it was shifting dollars to other programs. "The advertisers referenced have all moved their spots from Beck to other programs on the network, so there has been no revenue lost," the rep said.
Beck's show pulled in an average of slightly more than 2 million viewers for each of its 19 telecasts in July, according to Nielsen.
Progressive Insurance rep Cristy Cote said that there has been a lot of confusion surrounding the company's involvement with the program. "We had not bought advertising on the show in the first place," she said, "so when we learned that our advertising had appeared on the show by mistake, we contacted the network to correct the error."
She said Progressive tries to "avoid programming that we believe our customers and potential customers might find extremely offensive."
A Procter & Gamble rep echoed that sentiment: "At times our ads are run by mistake on shows that they were not meant to ... Any of our ads that ran did so by mistake, and we'll try to make sure that doesn't happen in the future."

Dream Dictionary Dead Woman
If you have a dream about the death of a dead woman this just means that you havent yet come to terms with the loss of her life yet. You are going through a lot of problems and it is causing you to think of them in a negative way or to think about them in terms of their death. This does not mean you are thinking badly about that woman, it means that you are just putting your heart and soul into caring about her because of how important she once were and their memory still is to you. You cant give up that love, you just have to let it out because it is the only way that you will be able to get past their memory and make sure that you have some closure. This is of course talking about a dream in which you are imagining the death scene of a woman that you know that has died in real life.Dreaming of a dead woman means you have some serious issues which need to be resolved with your sexuality. If you dream of seeing a random dead woman it means that you feel as if your sense of femininity is dying out and there is nothing you can do to protect it. This may not seem so awful if you are a male, but you need that sense of femininity just as much as a woman does. It is still important to the integrity of your character. Everyone has a sense of the opposite sexuality in them which allows them to function normally as a normal human being would, it is essential for this to exist the way it does. Without that part of you, you will be different, and not necessarily any better.

John Curwen
Reverend John Curwen (1816–1880) was an English Congregationalist minister, and founder of the Tonic sol-fa system of music education with the help of Sarah Ann Glover. He was educated at Wymondley College (subsequently Coward College) and University College London.[1]
Background and biography[edit]
John Curwen was a descendent of the Curwens of Workington Hall in Cumbria, one of the oldest families in England, the male line proper being a direct descent from Eldred, a pre-Norman Englishman, whose son Ketel held lands in the Barony of Kendal. Orm, Ketel's son, inherited the Cumbrian manor of Workington.[2]
Curwen was born 14 November 1816, at Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire, the son of Spedding Curwen and Mary Jubb. His father was a Non-conformist minister, as John was also from 1838 until 1864. Curwen gave up full-time ministry to devote himself to his new method of musical nomenclature.
Curwen married Mary Thompson (1816–1890) in May 1845. They had four children – Margaret, John Spencer, Spedding and Thomas Herbert. Curwen died at Heaton Mersey on 16 May 1880. His son John Spencer married Annie Jessy Gregg, who went on to write the extensive and influential series Mrs. Curwen's Pianoforte Method based on her adaptation for the piano of John Curwen's method for voice.
Tonic sol-fa[edit]
Curwen's system was designed to aid in sight reading of the stave with its lines and spaces. He adapted it from a number of earlier musical systems, including the Norwich Sol-fa method of Sarah Ann Glover (1785–1867) of Norwich. Her Sol-fa system was based on the ancient gamut; but she omitted the constant recital of the alphabetical names of each note and the arbitrary syllable indicating key relationship, and also the recital of two or more such syllables when the same note was common to as many keys (e.g. C, Fa, Ut, meaning that C is the subdominant of G and the tonic of C). The notes were represented by the initials of the seven syllables, still in use in Italy and France as their names. Curwen taught himself to sight-read based on Glover's Norwich Sol-fa, made alterations and improvements, and named his method Tonic Sol-fa. In the Tonic Sol-fa the seven letters refer to key relationship (relative pitch) and not to absolute pitch. Curwen utilised the first letter (lower case) of each of the solmisation tones (do, re, me, fa, sol, la, ti), and a rhythmic system that used bar lines (prefixing strong beats), half bar lines (prefixing medium beats), and semicolons (prefixing weak beats) in each measure.
Curwen felt the need for a simple way of teaching how to sing by note through his experiences among Sunday school teachers. Stemming from his religious and social beliefs, Curwen thought that music should be easily accessible to all classes and ages of people. Apart from Glover, similar ideas had been elaborated in France by Pierre Galin (1786–1821), Aimé Paris (1798–1866) and Emile Chevé (1804–1864), whose method of teaching how to read at sight also depended on the principle of tonic relationship being taught by the reference of every sound to its tonic, and by the use of a numeric notation. Curwen adapted French time names from Paris' Langue de durées.
Curwen's publications[edit]
Curwen brought out his Grammar of Vocal Music in 1843, and in 1853 started the Tonic Sol-Fa Association. The Standard Course of Lessons on the Tonic Sol-fa Method of Teaching to Sing was published in 1858. In 1879 the Tonic Sol-Fa College was opened. Curwen also began publishing, and brought out a periodical called the Tonic Sol-fa Reporter and Magazine of Vocal Music for the People, and in his later life was occupied in directing the spreading organisation of his system. With his son, John Spencer Curwen (1847–1916) who later became principal of the Tonic Sol-Fa College, Curwen incorporated the J. Curwen & Sons publishing firm in 1863. This firm continued as the Curwen Press into the 1970s, when it was closed. The Sol-fa system was widely adopted for use in education, as an easily teachable method in the reading of music at sight, but its more ambitious aims for providing a superior method of musical notation have not been generally adopted. In 1872, Curwen changed his former course of using the Sol-fa system as an aid to sight reading, when that edition of his Standard Course of Lessons excluded the staff and relied solely on Curwen's Tonic Sol-fa system.
Curwen technically did not invent Tonic Sol-fa. Rather he developed a distinct method of applying it in music education, including both rhythm and pitch. The name and current form can be traced to Curwen.
- A Tonic Sol-fa Primer
- The Teacher's Manual of the Tonic Sol-fa Method
- Grammar of Vocal Music
- Musical Theory
- Musical Statics
Curwen is remembered in Heckmondwike with a memorial in the Green Park, by Curwen Primary School in Plaistow, London, and by Curwen Crescent, and in 2007 a new housing development in the north of the town was named Curwen Park.

Since Plesk has discontinued Plesk updates on version 11.5 and 12.0, we will be forced to update these to at least version 12.5 or to the new Onyx release.
We will have to move a bit faster on migrating away from Plesk if these upgrades do not appear to be successful. |

We are in the process of phasing out all Plesk servers.
If you are on a Plesk server, we have been sending information about migration to you in reply to your payment. The following Plesk servers will be decommissioned at some point in 2017: east.lvcs.net west.lvcs.net The following non-Plesk servers will be decommissioned in 2017: west1.lvcs.net Benefits of the new cPanel servers: -Centralized billing, support, and account management at https://hosting.lvcs.net/ -Nameserver cluster for improved reliability of name resolution for your domains -Limits to prevent one site from slowing down the entire server -Newer versions of PHP, MySQL, and Apache to offer your site better performance -All solid state storage for faster disk access times. The following Plesk servers are not planned for decommission this year but you still may see improved performance by switching to our new cPanel servers. If enough people migrate we will shut these down as well: eu.lvcs.net lax2.lvcs.net There will be no change in renewal rate or your expiration date when you switch to our new system. in most cases, files and databases can be brought over. |

All of the Plesk servers will eventually be shut down. We will migrate you to one of the cPanel servers. We have cPanel servers in all of the regions that we have Plesk servers.
We are trying to migrate away from the West server first, but during the renewals we have been announcing the availability of the new cPanel servers. Some users are pointed to servers that are not the closest choice, so this would be a good time to check the best server for their needs. All of our cPanel servers use the same DNS settings (cluster) and will use the WHMCS interface for billing and support. We are able to provide better support and customers will enjoy the single point of entry when asking about their due dates and payments. These servers are not being shut down in the very near future, but the more we migrate now, the easier it will be. East is starting to have hardware problems and West is really old and outdated. You will be able to have an account split between two servers as you do now. You will manage them in a single place https://hosting.lvcs.net/ and you will point your domains to a single set of nameservers (CP1.LVCS.NET, CP2.LVCS.NET) after the migration. If you wish to migrate, please contact plesk at lvcs dot net. |

It seems I am currently confused, it was first announced that west server will be decommissioned then now the east server will be also be decommissioned, I still have sites in both server.
Can anyone clarify this announcements? I mean the East server. |

We have begun the process of decommissioning the East server. When payments are coming in, you will receive a notice that we have newer servers available.
Please ping the following servers just in case the East server is not actually the best server for your location: eu2.lvcs.net la2.lvcs.net nyc.lvcs.net These are part of our new cPanel service which will renew at the same rate. All of these servers are part of the same DNS cluster, so you will use CP1.LVCS.NET and CP2.LVCS.NET for the nameservers when pointing to these servers. Please email plesk at lvcs dot net for more information or to migrate. |

https://hosting.lvcs.net/cart.php Be sure to select "EU - Amsterdam" for the server when checking out. Please only signup this way if you are not already an existing customer. We will be replacing other servers soon. All new servers will run the latest cPanel on either CentOS 7 or CloudLinux 7. The new servers all offer Apache 2.4, PHP 5.6 and 7.0, MySQL 5.6, etc. |

New EU2 server is now up and running and is attached to the same DNS cluster as the other cPanel servers.
There are a few items set differently with this new server as we test new functionality with cPanel (such as the MultiPHP feature instead of using the CloudLinux PHP Selector options). If anyone would like to test this new server, please let us know by sending an email to ed at lvcs dot net. |

Overall RatingLou was a perfect introduction to my experience with Dragoman crew. She knew how to handle all the different passengers on Betsy, especially particularly difficult passengers that didn't make a tour leader's life very easy. She'd always maintain a professional manner. All the while, she was more of a friend than a tour leader, and seemed to have fun along with the passengers, which was preferred rather than a "No, I'm working" attitude.
Overall RatingBoth Lou and Seb worked very hard throughout this leg and the following on what was an extremely fast paced journey with a very diverse set of passengers. I would have no hesitation in going on further trips with either of them as leader or driver.

Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe celebrates 91st birthday with lavish million-dollar celebration
Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe has celebrated his 91st birthday with a lavish million-dollar bash that was slammed by the opposition as "obscene" in a country wracked by poverty.
Thousands of supporters of the ruling ZANU-PF, many wearing party regalia emblazoned with the president's image, sang and danced as he arrived for the jamboree at a luxury hotel in the famed Victoria Falls resort.
The elderly liberation leader threw 91 balloons into the air.
The party, which came a week after Mr Mugabe's birthday, was held on the hotel golf course, with white marquees housing the guests.
Elephants were slaughtered for the feast and seven huge cakes were on display in one of the tents.
One giant, 91-kilogram creation depicted the spectacular Victoria Falls, which empty into the Zambezi river that forms the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia.
Addressing the gathering in a 90-minute speech, Mr Mugabe castigated the US which had imposed sanctions on both Zimbabwe and him personally.
"[The US] can't have it both ways. If they want to be friends then they must be friends with us in total and we allow them to have some safaris," he said.
"But they can't say 'allow our people to visit, allow our people to have safaris, to kill our lions and take safari trophies to America'."
Annual extravaganza a controversial affair
The extravagance of Mr Mugabe's birthday parties is a subject of annual controversy in Zimbabwe.
The opposition Movement for Democratic Change called the festivities "obscene".
"All the money that has been collected to bankroll this obscene jamboree should be immediately channelled towards rehabilitating the collapsed public hospitals, clinics and rural schools in Matebeleland North province," MDC spokesman Obert Gutu said last week, referring to the province where Victoria Falls is located.
Mr Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe since independence from Britain in 1980, is the world's oldest leader.
One of the banners welcoming him to the party praised him as "the icon of Zimbabwe's revolution".
"Forward with president Mugabe," supporters chanted.
Several speakers wished him good health, with one youth leader urging the authorities to declare February 21 - his birthday - a national holiday.
Mugabe admits land reform flaws
While hailed by many African peers as a liberation hero, critics accuse the Zimbabwean strongman of turning southern Africa's former bread basket into a basket case by trampling human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
Mr Mugabe's violent seizure of white-owned farms triggered food shortages and hyper-inflation, while Europe and the United States imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe over elections seen as rigged.
In an interview marking his birthday, Mr Mugabe admitted he blundered by giving ill-equipped black farmers vast tracts of farmland under his controversial land reforms.
"I think the farms we gave to people are too large. They can't manage them," Mr Mugabe said.
He also shrugged off questions over an incident earlier this month in which he missed a step and stumbled from a podium.
"I have yet to come across a person who has not fallen. It was a slight fall, missing a step," Mr Mugabe told state-controlled television.
Despite his age, Mr Mugabe appeared to be in reasonable health, and according to analyst and author Richard Dowden, could regard himself as having plenty to celebrate following years of international criticism.
"If his aim was to rule Zimbabwe and become the king of Zimbabwe for a long time, and whatever happened to the country he would stay there and become a continent-wide hero, I think he's achieved those aims," Mr Dowden said.
"The fact that Zimbabwe has been ruined in the process and it's now just run by thieves who call themselves ministers, looting the place continually, I don't think that worries him a bit."

It was that old Rough Rider of days gone by, former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, who was fond of quoting an old West African proverb: "Speak softly, and carry a big stick; you will go far" when it came to describing his foreign policy style, one that included what he called "the exercise of intelligent forethought and decisive action sufficiently far in advance of any likely crisis."
And that, in essence, is what Port Chester is doing before venturing into foreign sports territory, a varsity lacrosse program to be specific.
P.C. Athletic Director Rob Barrett and other local sports movers and shakers are currently speaking softly while in the planning stage about whether the school should carry a big stick, a lacrosse stick to be precise, actually lots of them to be imprecise, because the exact number is difficult to pin down at this stage.
Numbers up in air
It is difficult to come up with a number because a veritable forest of those sticks are on their way to Port Chester right now as the result of three grants, although the exact date when those sticks will arrive is still up in the air, or maybe on a delivery truck, or somewhere in the post office for all anybody really knows.
Wherever they are, they are due to arrive any day now. And when they do, Port Chester will have the wherewithal to start becoming a big time lacrosse club while learning the LAX ABC's on training wheels before the program really ever gets spinning locally.
And if the club works, over time it could become a Port Chester first, a P.C. varsity lacrosse team modeled after Yorktown High, a perennial Westchester power and home of one of the most successful LAX programs in America.
Source of funding
Getting to that stage won't cost Port Chester a penny because P.C. will be doing the club program launch on somebody else's dime, that startup money coming from a Yorktown Huskers LAX alumni group and US Lacrosse, the national governing body of the sport.
Those bucks will go into starting a lacrosse program as part of the P.C. elementary and middle school physical education programs. The funding for equipment is estimated at anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000. Nobody knows the exact amount yet.
So what is happening locally lacrosse-wise and otherwise is really quite elementary although it takes a bit of Sherlock Holmes'-style sleuthing to put all the missing pieces together. But when all those pieces finally come together, eureka, starting a full-fledged lacrosse program is an idea that has finally come to Port Chester. Or at least is about to.
Making P.C. better
The Academy Award or its local equivalent for making the LAX program happen in Port Chester goes to, the envelope please, but so there's no "La-La Land" and "Moonlight" confusion over the best picture Oscar...
For the complete back story, you should first see the video currently making the rounds on YouTube for yourself (view the following: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg5G5EGV4TE&sn).
The condensed version of that video plot is that a number of Yorktown lacrosse alumni talk up the glories of the sport and its potential to add to the diversity of Port Chester athletics. They talk up LAX virtues against a backdrop of P.C. athletic trophies lining the hallway outside the gym, that video cast lineup including Port Chester Middle School math teacher Paul Santavicca, a former Huskers All-American LAX player who also played ultra-competitive Division One lacrosse for Marist before moving on to coach the sport at Pelham High School and then turning around the losing Port Chester Rams football program last season after just one year on the job.
Pay it forward
As a way of paying forward what the sport has meant to them, and as a tribute to the legendary father of Yorktown lacrosse, Charlie Murphy, whose apple orchards became their first LAX playgrounds, that alum group set aside around $1,000 from their annual fundraiser for the Yorktown youth and high school programs. That $1G grant will go towards helping launch a beginning LAX program. That donation went directly to US Lacrosse with the money earmarked for the Port Chester School District as a result of yearlong on-and-off conversations about starting an LAX program here among Santavicca, Barrett (the AD) and P.C. Middle School Principal Pat Swift.
Those conversations and that grant, in turn, led to Barrett contacting US Lacrosse about the LAX opportunities for P.C. And that really got the ball rolling in terms of possible grants and a video that would get the benefits of the LAX pitch swinging into the community via YouTube. US Lacrosse wrote and produced the script. And Barrett wrote two successful grant proposals. The first was for the so-called "Soft Sticks" program whereby US Lacrosse would provide lacrosse sticks and balls for the P.C. elementary schools as well as professional development for the P.C. physical education program. The second was to start a club team at the Middle School with the Yorktown alums and US Lacrosse providing equipment from head to toe for 20 boys and 20 girls.
Cast of characters
"We are in the process of receiving that equipment right now," Barrett said. "The video was the product of this whole thing."
He said that the "many people" interested in launching the LAX program included P.C. Middle School teachers Joe Capalbo, a former Division One LAX player at Quinnipiac, and Alyssa Canonic, who played lacrosse at Harrison and is a former coach at Middletown High where she helped develop their girls' LAX program. The Carver Center after school program is also intrigued by the lacrosse potential.
While Barrett said no decision has yet been made about the coaches, "the hope is get the club team off the ground here in a couple of weeks starting with interest meetings. We expect to have practice four times per week for 1 1/2 hours per day give or take for approximately eight weeks."
"After conferring with US Lacrosse," Barrett continued, "the plan is to have 6th and 7th graders start the club, go club for this year and next year and start a modified team in three seasons where we will compete with local middle schools. The hope is to move to JV and then Varsity if the numbers increase and the interest grows."
Sounds like a plan
That certainly sounds like a plan whereby lacrosse could well be here to stay in Port Chester.
Such a program would prove costly in the long run, admitted Port Chester Board of Education President Jim Dreves. "But if the interest is there, we certainly would be interested."
And so we shall see what we shall see. And for the record, "Moonlight" won out over "La-La Land" for the Academy Award for best picture and the P.C. powers-that-be behind the local push for LAX certainly don't seem to be in la-la land when it comes to planning how to get the program off the ground and seeing it through to a successful launch. However, on a cautionary note, the first lacrosse summer training camp at the Port Chester Middle School in the summer of 2015 drew around 200 participants from all over Westchester, but only one from Rye Brook and none from P.C. despite scholarships available for Port Chester residents. But then nobody ever expected it to be easy to launch a LAX program hereabouts.

Oh for the love of God please just tell me which tablet I need?!
(32 Posts)I've never used a tablet, dc have never used a tablet, I am clueless as is Dh.
I want to get them one each, ds is 7 and dd is 3. They don't have to be the same one.
They will 'need' them for watching movies, watching likes of iplayer, playing apps (educational and non) and searching net .
What should I buy? I'm thinking of the tesco hudl for ds? Can I do all the above on it? What about for dd? I don't think she'd like an innotab because she will want something that looks grown up like ds's.
Please someone just explain things as if I am a complete tablet novice and complete technophobic idiot, because, well, I am.
I don't want to spend much over £100 on ds and much much less if possible on dd.
Ps I've had advice already but I just don't understand.
I think I am getting a dd1 (6yo) a nook.
I did think about getting her a Kindle but I like that the nook is android and can connect to Google play and cheaper
You see -android??? Google play???
Nook's are a great price at the moment. I have a NOOK 7 inch and would recommend. Will do all they need.
If you let them have an always-on connection to an online store - as you would with a kindle or nook, or setup for google play , it could cost you a lot more than a hundred quid.
Get a cheap Android - you can get them for 60 quid or so - and don't give them the wifi password. If they want something added you connect and download, and then have it forget the wifi connection - it's the best way to avoid the three year old downloading the entirety of the Disney back catalogue...
Can't I put parental controls on the nook so dd1 can't spend without the password?
A shared family iPad?
Damefanny - I don't even know what you mean by android! Sorry. Could they watch movies / play apps/ iplayer and search the Internet? If so what 'android' would be good?
I'd love a family iPad but its way above our budget.
Even a re-conditioned iPad 2? You can buy them direct from Apple shops.
But I don't think one iPad between 2 kids would work because we need it to use when travelling
Check out the new Tesco one for around £100.
Yes I'm leaning towards to Tesco one for ds I think, thanks.
Any ideas on an uber cheap one for dd??
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I've just bought a nook hd only £79 as a replacement tablet for ds2 (10) and will probably get one for my ds1 (13) for xmas.
Watching with deep interest I want one for ds2 (7) they are all lost on me
I think you can have 6 different 'accounts' on the nook with different books and apps on.
I am considering a HUDL. <<not helpful>>
Does anyone know the differences between a nook and a hudl?
By moonlight - clearly I don't but I'm wondering the same.
Nexu s
dy hell - Mumsnet's "you must type a message" thing seems to think that I want to make a post 5 seconds after ai load every page.
Nexus 7.
I'm off to complain on Site Stuff.
I think the nook doesnt have a camera and the hudl does. I'm thinking hudl for my ds but waiting for it to be out a bit longer so i can hear peoples opinions!
Kindle fire each, heard there are better out there, but good for my two, 3 and 6. As you are new to tablets, you MUST play with it yourself and familiarise yourself before giving it to the DC. They are pretty intuitive but you need to play around and find out how you purchase things, and put a password on purchases, otherwise they can "buy" games and add ons to games.

Jan. 6, 2107
AUSTIN – The 84th Legislature passed House Bill 2804, changing the Texas school accountability system so that every campus and district receives one of five ratings from A-F. The ratings will be issued for the first time in August 2018.
The law requires the Texas Education Agency to present a preliminary work-in-progress report noting potential grades by domain to be issued to the legislature by Jan. 1, 2017. That report, which was sent to legislative members last week, is now publicly available. Commissioner of Education Mike Morath issued the following statement regarding this report:
"It is important to note that the Met Standard/Improvement Required ratings issued in August 2016 and updated in November 2016 are the official academic accountability ratings for the 2015–16 school year. A similar process will be used for the 2016–17 school year.
The ratings in this report are for informational purposes to meet a legislative requirement and represent work-in-progress models that are likely to change before A–F ratings become effective in August 2018. No inferences about official district or campus performance in the 2015–16 school year should be drawn from these ratings, and these ratings should not be considered predictors of future district or campus performance ratings."
To learn more about the transition to a new accountability system and its implementation, visit the Texas Education Agency A-F Resources Page on the TEA website at http://tea.texas.gov/Student_Testing_and_Accountability/Accountability/A-F_Accountability_Resources/.
