Flash floods clean-up
The latest on the flash floods from across the region.
The latest on the flash floods from across the region.
The Grosvenor Pub in Nottingham is continuing its clean up operation after flash flooding hit parts of the region.
The clear up operation is estimated to cost £100,000.
It is the third time the pub has flooded in the last five years. It took just six minutes for the pub to become entirely flooded.
Despite having flood defence barriers, the water was coming in quicker than people could evacuate the building and they could not get them up in time.
The Grosvenor say they are hoping to re-open next week.
Bright or sunny spells across the region, especially in the morning but occasional showers are likely to develop in the afternoon.
A drier and brighter start to the day, but turning fairly cloudy by afternoon with showers or outbreaks of rain.
ITV News visits the rural county in the wake of the EU referendum result and finds increasing frustration with Britain's political leaders.

Is this the true Biblical way to look upon you?This thread is to get "non-believers and Atheists and Homosexual" their time to ask question. This thread is in no way to show hate to these people. So if anyone got any plans to show hate please stay away from this thread. I am starting thread to teach what the Bible says about any question's that these people may have. So here at Soul-Winners we are challenging all non-believers, Atheists, Homosexual, Non-Denominational and Denominational churches. All question must be by the Bible nothing else.

Pay-per-view (PPV) and video-on-demand (VOD), two of the hottest new cable television technologies, are growing in popularity, but are still small when compared to the overall home video industry.
PPV and VOD generated a record $2.45 billion in 2002, up about 19 percent from the previous year. Motion pictures accounted for $1.47 billion of the PPV/VOD total, driven by the increased number of households with digital cable, which makes it easier and more convenient to order films at home. But, says Showtime Networks and the Kagan Pay TV Newsletter, those numbers still pale in comparison to the overall home video market.
Film revenue was up 19 percent from 2001 and represented 60 percent of the PPV total, the study said. Adult entertainment generated a record $609 million (up 15 percent from 2001). Events, including wrestling and boxing, generated another $363 million, which was up 27 percent.
In comparison, consumer spending on the renting and buying of VHS and DVD reached $20.3 billion in 2002.
Digital cable is now available in 19.3 million homes nationwide —four million more than in 2001— and households with satellite TV is another 18.7 million, according to the report. These homes generally have access to dozens of PPV channel choices.

The Mountain Goats
All Eternals Deck
Mar 29, 2011 Issue #35 - Winter 2011 - Death Cab for Cutie
John Darnielle has always been at his best when working within the confines of a theme. Whether spinning tales of doomed romance or stories inspired by biblical verses, the device of focus has always effectively harnessed his strengths, creating powerfully cohesive statements out of disparate vignettes and character studies. Fleshing out his already superlative songwriting with the most sympathetic band he's ever worked with (Peter Hughes on bass and Jon Wurster on drums), The Mountain Goats have hit something of a second stride in the past few years. On 2009's The Life of the World to Come, the group peaked on possibly their most riveting, profound album yet, and if 2011's All Eternals Deck doesn't quite reach the same heights, its gems still shine among the best cut stones in the band's vast catalog. The songs collected here may lack the narrative arc that's been present on so much of Darnielle's past work, but they are compensated by the muscular chemistry between band members, the seamless production (from no less than four different producers), and a strong core of songs rich with variety.
Clawing deep into the emotional depths of "hidden things," according to Darnielle, a sense of dread and the unknown heavily permeates the record, quietly leaving bruises on initial spins that may not reveal themselves until much later. Even on the most hopeful cuts here, the feeling that the reverie within has been earned after some traumatic incident is eerily present. On "Never Quite Free," amidst a swirling guitar line and some twinkling piano, Darnielle bleats "you'll breathe easier just knowing that the worst is all behind you/and the waves that tossed the raft all night have shed you on dry land," and the spirit he instills is as palpable as the scars in his parables. On All Eternals Deck, Darnielle may take a step back in terms of lyrical sinuosity, but bolsters his band's seething intensity with flying sparks, proving evermore that not only is he a master of moods but an unparalleled songwriter in pop music.

The latest news from Iraq is almost a repeat of what's been happening for the past couple of weeks: The militant Sunni group, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, continues its march, while the Iraqi military and Shiite militias put up a fight.
CNN reports that on Saturday, ISIS took over a strategic border crossing plus three other towns in western Iraq. (The New York Times has a helpful map.) CNN adds:
"Most importantly, the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, or ISIS, controlled the strategic town of Al-Qaim on the border with Syria, where the enemy fighters enjoy a stronghold, Iraqi security officials said Saturday.
"Together, the four towns are situated along a highway from Syria to Baghdad, heightening possibilities that the militants could now march from the west to lay siege to the Iraqi capital. One of the four towns, Husaybah, is just 100 kilometers, or 62 miles, outside Baghdad."
Meanwhile, ABC News reports that the Iraqi government ran out of Hellfire missiles six days ago. The U.S., the network reports, is rushing more missiles into the country, but the government has also taken deep losses after ISIS damaged a couple dozen tanks and three helicopters.
ABC adds:
"Threat of a massive drive into Baghdad has receded somewhat, but fear remains that the radical militia will try big attacks for propaganda victories, or that its forces might take small neighborhoods and publicize its victories on YouTube in an attempt to scare the Shia into overreacting with the militias.
"Until now, many moderate Sunnis have not rallied to the ISIS side, but provoking violent retaliation by Shiite militias in Baghdad against any Sunnis could draw more support to the radicals.
"The Maliki government has yet to mount a counteroffensive to roll back the ISIS blitzkrieg, although thousands of Shiite Iraqis have rallied to the government's side to defend against ISIS, which is composed of Sunni Muslims."
To get a good feel for what exactly is happening on the ground in Iraq, watch this video of BBC correspondents who were caught in the crossfire:
As the BBC reports, the crew was traveling with Kurdish troops in Jalula when they were fired upon by ISIS militants.

Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries extends application of next-generation 3D engineering technology to its offshore projects.
SHI has been a longtime user of the industry-leading solution, deploying it in full production within its Shipbuilding division, and has now extended the use of SmartMarine 3D for its offshore projects.
SmartMarine 3D's automated, rule-based technology has enabled SHI to achieve its objective of delivering a higher volume of the most complex and technically advanced vessels on the market today.
Due to the success of SmartMarine 3D for its shipbuilding projects, SHI decided to implement the next-generation solution for its offshore projects as well. SHI deployed SmartMarine 3D successfully for its pilot project, and has since applied the Intergraph solution for its current offshore projects. SmartMarine 3D has delivered significant productivity gains by helping SHI to streamline its design process, reducing production man-hours and project costs.
Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine president, said, "We are pleased to further extend our partnership with SHI, one of the world's leading engineering companies. Intergraph has been working closely with SHI to continue enhancing SmartMarine 3D for the industry, and SHI's expansion of SmartMarine 3D into its Offshore division will help SHI deliver increased safety, quality and productivity for both its offshore and marine projects."

There has been a significant amount of derision heaped on Xen after its successful integration into the Linux kernel last month.
One wouldn't think such criticism is warranted, since the inclusion of Xen in the Linux kernel puts it on equal footing with KVM.
Yet, when Oracle's Wim Coekaerts announced the inclusion of Xen code for DomO and DomU support in Linux, many industry observers took the opportunity to lambaste Xen for being too-little-too-late.
True, KVM has been more successful in the briefer time it has existed. Xen has had plenty of opportunity to be the go-to virtualization platform for Linux. KVM, however, exploded in popularity and was fully integrated into the Linux kernel by the time Linux 2.6.20 was released. It's now the virtualization platform of choice for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Canonical's Ubuntu Server, and SUSE Enterprise Server Linux (though SLES also supports Xen as well).
The fact that Xen is now in the Linux kernel is a cause for celebration. Customers who want to work with a virtualization solution now have a choice of not one but two solid virtualization tools for Linux. This proves once and for all that Linux is not only a viable cloud virtualization platform; it's in reality the most desirable platform for use in the cloud.
Xen and KVM each have their own respective strengths. Despite their differences - indeed, because of their differences - their mutual presence within the Linux kernel validates that cloud computing will truly be commoditized, no matter which approach to virtualization is desired by customers.
That's a big perspective, much bigger than the narrow view of Xen being "late."
To have real commoditization, the choice of the underlying platform must be driven by the application, not the platform features. No matter which virtualization toolset customers prefer (KVM or Xen), Linux has now become the crucible of both. Applications become the important deciding factor.
The presence of both in the Linux kernel should put VMware on notice that their market position with VMware ESX Server is becoming tenuous at best, since commoditization has finally been achieved.
The industry is certainly coming around to that conclusion. KVM, for instance, enjoys broad industry support by Red Hat and other members of the Open Virtualization Alliance (OVA). OVA's members, including the 65 new members of which Convirture is one, understand that having KVM in the Linux kernel means proprietary approaches like VMware's are no longer important.
The two virtualization systems can be used equally by independent cloud vendors to break the hold VMware and Citrix have on the cloud market. OVA and its expanded membership have all but declared open war on VMware in particular and sees itself as a chance to end VMware domination. With Xen's inclusion in the Linux kernel, industry alignment around Xen can be expected as well.
The choice demonstrates once and for all that Linux is the real and right platform for virtualization. And since virtualization is the first step toward cloud computing, Linux ultimately becomes the best choice for the cloud.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Tennessee is currently one of only three states in America that allows cities to unilaterally annex property by ordinance, without a vote or other statutory protection. When the Speakers of the House and Senate created an ad hoc committee to examine this issue in 1996, it determined the right to vote on annexation wasn't necessary. I respectfully disagree.
Last year I introduced a bill in the House that would end this practice, commonly known as forced annexation, by requiring a vote before the annexation of residential and farm property can take place. If there is a good argument for why Tennesseans should not have at least the same private property rights and protections as Californians and New Yorkers, I have yet to hear it.
In 2012, North Carolina became the most recent state to end forced annexation, and it did so with a strong bi-partisan vote in the legislature. The right to vote is not a Republican or a Democratic issue. It is a right cherished by all Americans that should not be disregarded.
Opponents of the right to vote on annexation argue cities must be able to annex in order to ensure that they and the surrounding area remain fiscally viable and economically competitive. There are three problems with this argument as it pertains to my bill: First, my bill doesn't effect annexations of commercial or industrial property, nor does it apply to cases where property owners seek to come into a town or city. Second, allowing Tennesseans a vote on annexation does not mean cities can't annex. It simply means that they can't annex without the consent of the governed. Third, the claim that annexation is necessary for economic growth and competitiveness is simply not supported by the data.
A recent study conducted by TACIR (The Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations) found 'the claim that expanding cities' boundaries is essential to economic growth cannot be fully demonstrated,' and that 'analyses of multiple cities have mixed results, with no conclusive evidence that annexation results in increased efficiency, revenue, wealth or equity.'
The TACIR study looked at all 50 states and grouped them according to annexation method – consent only, unilateral, hybrid, none, and third party approval – and compared the states' growth per capita since 2000 in four measures: population, gross domestic product, personal income, and employment.
States that require a vote, also known as consent states, led in all categories. Nevada led the nation in population growth. North Dakota had the largest growth in both real GDP per capita and real personal income per capita. Utah, also a consent state, led the nation in job growth per capita, with 20 percent growth in full and part-time employment from 2000 to 2011.
Honest people can disagree on the details of annexation. Issues like de-annexation and how tax revenue is shared with counties are complex and deserve study, but the right to vote is fundamental and should not be denied Tennesseans any longer.
States must cut budgets or raise taxes. Counties must cut budgets or raise taxes. Why should cities have powers adverse to voters and superior to all other forms of government?
Let us vote.
Rep. Mike Carter
* * *
Mike Carter makes a lot of sense. One of the premises of annexation is the guarantee by the city to bring city services to the annexed area. Fire and police services, garbage collection, sewer construction, etc. In the past few years, these have been guaranteed by the city of Chattanooga, but only a fraction of the promises have come to fruition. Instead of increasing the size of the police force, they were just spread thinner. Sewer construction…have you seen any?
De-annexation should go part and parcel with Rep. Carter's proposed bill. Annexation where promises are not kept in a timely fashion should be over-turned, either by regulation or popular vote. And not just by vote of the entire city, but solely by those in the affected areas. Taxes from outlying areas should not be used to bolster police protection in Brainerd or North Chattanooga.
Putting annexation to a vote is the ethical and correct procedure. If the myopic City Council can dictate to allow unmarried partners, family and dependents to share taxpayer-paid insurance because a single individual is employed by the city, annexation should be able to be brought to a vote as well. The Tennessee Legislature is frightened that without a state income tax annexation is a viable option. The facts simply do not bear this out. Get with it Tennessee Legislature. You're behind the times and this will be an election issue.

hi guys,
trying to make a decision on whether or not to get a 2012 Brute X or a 2011 bowmadness. which one do you think is better?
hi guys,
trying to make a decision on whether or not to get a 2012 Brute X or a 2011 bowmadness. which one do you think is better?
Both good bows. I have heard the new PSE Brute X is quite a shooter. The Bow Madness is a great value too. Tough choice if it were me I would go Bow Madness.
Bow Madness all day, every day
if i'm not in a tree stand you'll find me on a 3d course!!!!
thanks guys..and i would assume the bowmadness is the faster shooting bow also..am i right on that couldn't find any specs on the 2011 model.
I Have owned 2 Bowmadness bows in the last few months and i really liked the 32" Pse Bowmadness,I Liked it better then the XS,But they were both Great shooting bows,I Had 2010 Models,I Prefer them,They are lighter then the newer models.You cant go wrong with either bow,i would shoot both before you decide.Enjoy your Bow.

Lone Wolf.../Toyota/Suzuki/Asat/Timberhawk/Blacks Creek/Moultrie/Tru ball/Onestringer wraps..."Meat Hunter"
They both are great shooters but on either I would say replace the strings though. If it was me I would go with the bow madness but that is me and owned a mc 32 one but upgraded to the evo.
Just got a 2011 Bowmadness xs a few weeks ago and lovin it.
Bowmadness would be my choice.

I am planning on taking the part of America on an on September 27,2014. I have cruise a few times before and have always bought our cruise about eight months in advance. For this time I am going to try to wait and book in early September. I have never done anything like this before wondering if anybody have any tips or advice for me? The reason I'm doing this because I have noticed that the prices are really low if you book within a month. Thank you in advance.

That is true. I always book at the last minute because I never know what is happening with my family and if we will be able to go. One problem with late booking is getting the cabin you want. Also, some of my friends got excellent upgrades by booking earlier.

Thank you for your input.

Just be aware that with only one ship doing this route, you can't always get a good cabin at the last minute on Pride of America. However, I don't think you'll have a problem in September.

Heinrich involves us in his quest to get inside the mind of the raven. But as animals can only be spied on by getting quite close, Heinrich adopts ravens, thereby becoming a "raven father," as well as observing them in their natural habitat. He studies their daily routines, and in the process, paints a vivid picture of the ravens' world. At the heart of this book are Heinrich's love and respect for these complex and engaging creatures, and through his keen observation and analysis, we become their intimates too.
Heinrich's passion for ravens has led him around the world in his research. Mind of the Raven follows an exotic journey—from New England to Germany, and from Montana to Baffin Island in the high Arctic—offering dazzling accounts of how science works in the field, filtered through the eyes of a passionate observer of nature. Each new discovery and insight into raven behavior is thrilling to read, at once lyrical and scientific.

Read an Excerpt
Becoming a Raven Father
The first prerequisite to studying any animal is to get and to stay close. You must be able to observe the fine details of its behavior for long periods of time without the animal seeing or feeling your presence. That's a tall order with wild ravens-in northeastern America. In my part of the country, where food is sparsely distributed, ravens may range over a hundred square miles a day, and they fly away at the mere sight of a human. Ravens are shyer and more alert, and have keener vision than any other wild animal I know, making it even more difficult to watch their natural undisturbed behavior.
Given these difficulties, I felt I needed to try to obtain young and to be a surrogate parent to them. It was perhaps the only way to learn about many aspects of their intimate social behavior. Obtaining and living with young ravens has its inconveniences, not the least of which is making the hazardous ascents to get them from the nest. The trees that ravens like to nest in are not the ones I like to climb.
The last few patches of winter snow were left in the shady places under fir trees. The ice had just melted off Hills Pond, and the first warblers were back. But in Maine at the end of April 1993, still a month before the maples would leaf out, that year's baby ravens would already have a coat of black feathers. I was on my way to two different nests. I would take two young of the clutch of four to six I expected to find in each nest. I would then have to attend to every need of the young birds.
It was snowing, and the great pine tree with the first ravens' nest was swaying in the north wind coming across the lake. I wanted to run, but Iheld myself to a walk, trying to conserve as much energy as possible for the climb ahead. More than once before, I had been frightened when I found myself hanging on to a thick limbless pine trunk as strength ebbed from my arms. The void above the tops of the fir trees seemed to expand as my grip grew less secure.
White feces were spattered on the ground below the nest, a sign that the young were already beyond the pinfeather stage. At this nest, which I had visited often in previous years, only the adult male scolded me; the female always left when I came near. At other nests, both members of the pair may scold, both leave, or one or both remain at some distance.
After carefully putting on climbing spurs and adjusting my backpack, I put my arms around the tree and started. Go slowly, I kept telling myself, one step at a time. I tried to keep looking up, not down. I got very tired just as the solid limbs were getting closer. Fortunately, having trained over the winter to do chin-ups, I was able to sustain the effort. As I hauled myself up onto the first solid limbs, I felt elated. I had once again escaped the fate of some other ornithologists in similar situations. George Miksch Sutton fell from a cliff while climbing up to a raven nest, but was saved by falling on a ledge before hitting the bottom of the cliff. Fellow raven researcher Thomas Grunkorn once fell eighty feet out of the top of a beech, breaking his back in two places. Miraculously, he lived and did climb again (see Chapter 7). Gustav Kramer, an ornithologist studying wild pigeons, died when rocks came loose as he was climbing up to a cliff nest. I am quite frightened of cliffs, by comparison feeling almost safe with tree limbs to hang onto.
The tree was swaying mightily in the gusts, but it had not been blown over in worse gales, and it would not fall or break now. Besides, there was nothing I could do about it. So no worries.
Four fully feathered young hunkered down in a very soggy nest. It had rained steadily for the last two days, and the heavy, waterlogged nest was badly tilting because one of the supporting branches was too thin. The four young were very chunky, clumsy, and cute. When I lifted two out to put them into my knapsack, I noticed. their huge bare bulging bellies. They didn't struggle or complain, and the climb back down was easy.
With four young finally resting in the bottom of the knapsack, I hiked home to put my new charges into their new nesta basket packed with dead grass and leaves almost all the way to the top, so that they could defecate out over the edge. I talked to them in low soft tones, and they immediately broke their silence and answered in raspy raven baby talk. They were almost feathered out, and looked at me with bright blue eyes (which would turn gray near fledging and brown bywinter). They raised pinfeathery heads and opened their big pink mouths (mouth linings and tongue turn black only after one to three or more years, depending on the birds' social status). They were begging to be fed! Such trust, especially after just being taken from their nest, is unique for a bird already at least a month old. It is especially surprising given that ravens are innately shy of anything new. As adults, ravens in Maine are among the most shy of all birds. These young had long been exposed only to their parents and siblings, yet they responded to me unabashed. Did they somehow hear something in my voice that put them at ease?
Their sounds tugged at my heart, and I sprang to action. We quickly established a rapport and I chopped up whatever meat I could find, usually roadkills, and fed the ravens bite-sized chunks at about hourly intervals, just as raven parents do in the wild. Baby ravens and crows need a pharmacopeia of proteins, minerals, and vitamins. I fed mine minced mice, grubs, eggs, fish, and chopped frogs. I've seen people try to raise baby crows as they would raise their own babies, on milk and bread. If the young birds didn't die, they suffered from rickets or some other nutritional debilitation that left them crippled.

I picked up this book this summer hoping for a intimate exploration of a bird that captured my imagination after spending a summer working in SE Alaska. I was NOT disappointed! Henrich's blend of scientific research and collection of anecdotes, myths, legend, observations and his overall passion for this species is a wonderful read.
This book is amazing! A friend lent it to me and as soon as I finished I bought a copy for myself. Not only do you learn about ravens, but you learn about yourself! If you want a spiritual experience, this book is for you.
Interesting, in depth study of raven behavior, intelligence, and adaptations.
A little dense at times, and likely to be challenging for those accustomed to anecdotal writing as opposed to scientific, but I found it tremendously informative, insightful, and more than worthwhile.
The author had good intentions and his heart set on writing a both an educational and entertaining read about ravens, unfortunately this one did not hit it's mark. Had this 380 page "overblown term paper" been properly edited down to 170 pages, assumed the reader could retain information and not repeat instructive points, and included a strong story line I'm sure I would have enjoyed it.

Perfection from start to finish
"This is the second PC that I have bought from PC Specialists and it will not be the last. From start to finish the service has been excellent. I find the website easy to use and very comprehensive in terms of choice and back up information. I did phone to clarify a particular point and again received a prompt and helpful reply. The PC was ordered on a Tuesday afternoon and arrive on Friday afternoon. I did pay the extra for a quick build and delivery but this turn round exceeded my expectations. The machine was packaged very well and I had no problem in assembling it. Everything worked first time. Throughout this transaction PC Specialists kept me informed every step on the way. I very rarely write reviews but felt the need to write this one."
Extremely good service
"They were helpful before ordering, continual updates on progress once I had ordered, the system was delivered earlier than expected and the setup was very simple. Very impressive from start to finish"
They do the business
"They took a bit of time shipping my SHIELD tablet but then again they are called PC specialist not TABLET specialist.
The Silent Beast
"The Octane II Pro is the single most enjoyable Computer Experience I have ever had. The super fast internal storage means this laptop blows away every other machine I have ever used, including workstations in VFX studios costing many times the price. I can read high res EXR sequences and edit 4k Raw footage in real-time. And the best part? The laptop barely makes a sound. I was expecting whirring fan noise, but even under load everything stays quiet - meaning no distractions!
The only oddity is a strange fault with the trackpad which means it glides unexpectedly. I reported this soon after receiving the laptop, but PC specialist have yet to respond more than a month later!"
Strike 3
"received the 3rd PC from PC Specialist and once again the service has been top notch. the quality of the products though may be an issue for them(it might be too good) my main gaming pc is now 5 years old and running like a dream so don't need to replace it yet!! I would urge anyone to take out their extended warranty and aftercare as they really do look after you. thanks very much.
Speedy efficient service and a quality build
"Ordered over a bank holiday weekend a top end skyline desktop PC. Order received by the following Friday. Build quality and packaging were excellent. Highly recommend this company."
Monitor adapter not included
"I bought my last computer from Dino PC. This time I tried PC Specialists. It arrived after 7 days. I set up the computer. The instructions said I needed a DVI-VGA adapter. One was not supplied. I had to borrow my son's. After that Bank Holiday weekend I went to Currys/PC World to buy one. It cost me £12.99p and the store gave me the wrong adapter (I am not an expert). I had to take it back. One hour, 8 miles of fuel and £12.99 (an approximate £20 cost to me) was spent, because PC Specialists did not supply a small adapter, which no doubt they manufacture or purchase for pence. Having spent £600 on a computer I expected it to include everything I needed for it to work. If this is policy, I think it is really bad not to include an adapter. If it was a mistake then their quality control leaves a lot to be desired. Either way, excitement turned to disappointment, I am some £20 out of pocket and I advise everyone reading this to look at Dino PC and Currys/PC World before buying from PC Specialists. I was very disappointed. I also found it difficult to post a review on their site."
Excellent and precise
"Always a pleasure to use PC Specialist, lovely people to speak to on the phone and so easy to re-order previous builds of machines. We are now suing these instead of purchasing off-the-shelf Dell machines. Machines are high quality and are delivered very fast.
Overall extremely reliable and professional service"
Powerful custom PC - all as expected
"PC arrived in good time, and all as expected - performs as expected too, i.e. very well! I'd highly recommend this site, they've got a good (but not overwhelming) range of all the best parts to choose from, and couldn't find a better price elsewhere. The only reason I've given 4 stars not 5 is the front case fan is very noisy (and seems to be getting gradually worse since it was delivered about two weeks ago) - however I am hoping customer services will be able to help here - if so, I'll happily bump this up to a 5 star review.
EDIT: just upgraded to 5 stars as the noisy fan was replaced with minimum fuss - I can now recommend the customer services too!"
extremly satisfied
"very happy with the product I have purchased, I am a repeat customer and am always happy with what I have received from PC Specialist"
"This computer is amazing and i am so glad that i got it"
Customised, Quick, Efficient!
"I liked the website and the options for customising my system, which was all very clear. The process of assembing the PC was very quick and I received notifications at the key points. Delivery was also handled efficiently, I received the machine wiithin a week of placing the order. Up and running within minutes. Who could ask for more?"
New laptop order
"I ordered a custom built laptop from PC specialist a few years previously at the recommendation of one of my more tech-oriented friends and it served me well for quite some time so when I decided it was time for an upgrade i knew who I was going to go back to. The new laptop was made to my specification and arrived in good time undamaged. Now that I have had a chance to test it I can confirm it is exactly what I was after and would thoroughly recommend others to try PC specialist in the future."
Incredible Build at an Incredbile Price with an Incredible Build Speed!!
"This is the second PC I've had from PC Specialist, this one was for my son. The fact that I went back there for my second PC purchase says a lot!!
As always, I was able to customise my PC with the components I wanted at a good price compared with other sites I looked at. The PC was ready to ship by the 4th working day and arrived on the 5th working day via DPD, which is my favourite delivery service. This was considerably quicker than my first PC but they clearly state their estimated delivery times based on current demand and these differ.
I honestly couldn't fault the service and will definitely come back when I need a new PC or want to upgrade either of our current builds!"
Fantastic product
"Product arrived safe and well packed building took only over a 7 day which for a laptop is very fast, build quality is great and looks fantastic
Thank you "

Picked up a few shares today. Pays almost a 6% yield. Being a preferred stock, and having a yield, it's better able to withstand a drop in price than is the common. However if Allergan common stock takes off strongly to the upside, an investment in the common stock would have been the better choice. The preferred is the safer choice, the common has the most upside if things go well.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Today, even in the 230's, it's still worth buying.
October 2014
Bought last year at 340? Very bad. Buying now at 219? Not too bad. If you were given a chance during regular trading hours today to buy at 219, when it was trading at 277, everyone would have come aboard. Well, now you can.
