How to E-Mail a Photo in Windows E-Mail Programs
The most common kind of file to e-mail is a photo and the easiest way to do it is overlooked by far too many people. Follow these steps to e-mail a picture file the easy way:
Open the folder containing the image you want to e-mail.
You were thinking that you needed to be in your e-mail program for this task. Nope.
Right-click the image file to send.
Choose Send To→Mail Recipient from the shortcut menu.
An image-size-adjustment dialog box appears; in Windows XP, the dialog box offers only two choices: Make All My Pictures Smaller or Keep the Original Sizes.
Choose a size for the image and then click the Attach button.
The button is labeled OK in Windows XP.
If prompted in Windows XP, choose an e-mail profile.
You should be using separate user accounts for your e-mail, not a single account on the computer with multiple e-mail accounts.
Your e-mail program starts, creating a new message with the image file automatically attached. Depending on the program, the Subject line may reflect the attachment and the message body may contain information about the attachment and a warning about computer viruses.
Type the recipient's address.
Edit the Subject line, in case the one that's automatically used seems vague and meaningless.
Type the message body.
Feel free to edit any text placed automatically in the body by Windows.
Click the Send button.
There's no need to close your e-mail program after sending; only the New Message window appears; then the message is sent and you're back to doing whatever distracts you from getting real work done.
The method described in these steps helps address the biggest issue with sending photos: sending them in a convenient size.
Of course, another way to send a smaller-size image is to use an image-editing program to reset the image's size. Then again, going through those steps either alters the image's original size or gives you two copies of the same image on your PC: one small for e-mail and the larger, original copy.
You can right-click any file icon to send it, similar to the way you send an image.
Although it's possible to make a large image smaller, it's not quite as easy to make a small image larger. If the image is already small, making it larger just makes it fuzzy.
Store your digital photographs in a large format. The larger file format is a must for image editing. Also, larger picture files print better than smaller ones that might be better suited for attaching to an e-mail message. Just remember to resize your images when sending them as an e-mail attachment.

Cool stuff Frank.
Poor Brent. I used to like some of his early work from the 70s. Ka-Zar, I think it was. Original run. Astro City is great stuff too. He's a good storyteller.
I'd recommend Book of Magic first, IMO it is good to ease into Gaiman. Sandman is heavy stuff but definitely recommended.
The World Fantasy Award will always be a standout for him I imagine. Y
The SDCC stuff was nice this year, the Venture tin with rusty and doc is on pre-order from the page that io9 linked (Also a free twilight zone mousepad thrown in)At the 1991 awards, comic book The Sandman issue #19 "A Midsummer's Night Dream", by Neil Gaiman, won the Award for Best Short Fiction. The widely-circulated story that the rules were subsequently changed to prevent another comic book from winning is not entirely true. The official website states: "Comics are eligible in the Special Award Professional category. We never made a change in the rules." Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess, however, won the Award under the Short Fiction and not the Special Award Professional category.
The Wayne Casino coins connected to flashpoint seem to be pretty popular on Ebay.
Picked up the Spiderman Syroco statue as well, limited 1000. The one I have is 759 or something.

The new spidey in the Ultimate line was revealed.
Miles Morales
Some may or may not have been upset that they killed off PP, to introduce someone that is more PC. I find it to be funny actually, since the writing itself hasn't been very good in the last few years and if it continues just ends up being the same anyway.
hve they killed iron man yet? Now i am already pissed they killed wolverine and have just started reading comics...
**** that Ultimate Universe. It can be entertaining but, it just screws everybody up.
Now in the 616 Universe Spiderman is still Peter Parker...its just that all of Manhattan is getting infected with his powers for some reason.

Well the civil war is over, bit of a letdown at the end tbh he shoud have crushed tony's skull and be done whit it.
I understand most people here probably don't read manga but I'd like to recommend one that I think might be interesting even to people who don't like them usually.
Eden: It's an Endless World!
It's got a real epic story and leaves out most of the usual manga stereotypes (similar to Berserk in that aspect).
I'm impressed by how the individual stories of the main protagonists evolve and tie in with the background story.
Akira and Lone Wolf & Cub are the only two I've really read, LW&C being one of my favorite pieces of work from anything.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Gov. Rick Perry has returned from a Defense Department trip to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Perry's office say the governor arrived back in Texas late Wednesday after traveling with the governors of Minnesota, Missouri, Illinois and Nevada.
During the six-day trip, Perry visited several cities in Iraq: Baghdad, Taji, Al Asad and Tallil. Then he went to Afghanistan and visited Bagram, Gardez, Ghazni, Jalalabad and the Task Force Phoenix Headquarters. Perry also stopped at bases in Kuwait and Germany.
In Iraq, Perry gave out Texas flags that had flown over the state Capitol. He presented the combat infantry badge to Sgt. Maj.Travis Petty of Fort Worth and Spc. Bradley Merchant of Lubbock.
About 4,500 Texas National Guard members are deployed in the region.

If you ever watch Sci-Fi or action films, you've likely spotted superheroes and spies whipping out some seriously high-tech communication devices. The rectangular devices we use to call, text, and take photos with are ten times cooler in the movies thanks to their fantastical functions and over-the-top sleek appearances. From way back to the 1980s to present day, here are some of the most notorious showy phones from the movies.
Long before the invention of real-life cell phones, there were Star Trek communicators. Obnoxiously boxy and large, these gadgets could make calls all the way from space to earth without the help from satellites. Relying on subspace transmissions, these devices make connections instantly despite the great difference in time.
Though no phones have ever been designed to look like the communicator, there are rumors that the very first mobile phone was inspired by Captain Kirk's communicator.
This phone looks dreadful now, but in 1999 it was revolutionary. Neo flipped down the keypad cover and within seconds was communicating to the real world. The legendary phone was a Nokia 8110 and nearly impossible to buy after its release.
In 2003, the film's sequel upgraded the phones to the Samsung brand, allowing Samsung to reap some hefty profits when they released the look-alike SPH-N270.
Quite possibly the most far-fetched phone we've seen was held in the hand of James Bond in "Tomorrow Never Dies." Regardless of the phone's simple look, this baby was loaded with features such as a stun gun, finger print scanner and analyzer for breaking locks, and an all-in-one car operating remote.
Can you imagine turning on your car's ignition and powering the steering wheel all from your cell phone? Perhaps one day we will only be so lucky.
Stark had one snazzy looking phone to go with his flashy home and armored suit in the second installment of the popular marvel film. Completely transparent, the phone was as thin as a fingernail and could control every appliance and electronic in his house. Even cooler, the device could take over monitors wherever his location.
This phone was only a piece of glass with the LG and Stark logos inscribed on it. However, it encouraged LG to create their first ever Android powered smart phone.
A cell phone that is not only serves as a portable hacking device but also is also self-destructing when necessary? Only in the most recent "Mission Impossible" film will you find something so out there, yet so awesome.
"Ghost Protocol" clearly partnered up with Apple on this installment. You can spot Apple products throughout the film's duration. With crazy intelligent gadgets popping up every second, Hunt's cell phones are a mere highlight.
It's funny how we've progressed in the name of technology. To think that the Star Trek communicator was once futuristic is now kind of mind boggling. You have to wonder what kind of phones we'll be seeing on the silver screen in the years to come.

He will surely rank as one of the best fast bowlers Sachin Tendulkar has faced in his career. Currently bowling coach of the New Zealand team, Shane Bond was looking forward to seeing Tendulkar in action in New Zealand early next year. Saying that it will feel 'unreal' to see India play without the Little Master, Bond recollects what it was like bowling to the master and what Tendulkar's legacy will be like. Excerpts from a conversation with Boria Majumdar Boria: Shane, Sachin will not be in action in New Zealand when India tours early next year. Your thoughts? Bond: It is a very strange thing to come to terms with. He has been around for so long it seemed he is and will be there permanently. To be able to play with distinction for a quarter century is incredible and each of us will miss him in New Zealand. Yes India will still be a very good team but there will be a degree of unease while seeing them in action. Here is someone about who pages and pages have been written over the last 24 years, who has broken every major batting record that there is to break and scored runs in all conditions and countries in the world. He is unanimously accepted as the best batsman to have played cricket in the last two and a half decades. It will not be easy to come to terms with the fact that he isn't playing anymore. Boria: You have bowled to Sachin with distinction. Tell me what made him the best batsman in the world? Bond:- Sachin isn't the tallest man in the world. In fact, he is rather short and conventional wisdom says you can ruffle up a short person if you bowl short and real quick to him. And if you remember at my prime I could easily generate speeds of up to 150 kmph. Sachin, however, always had more time than others. He could rock back and hook and pull with equal panache and anything pitched up could disappear to the off side boundary. If the line was slightly awry, he could flick, glance or punch to the on side. He had and still has all the shots in the book making him the most complete player I have bowled to in my career. It is this amazing ability of his that made bowling to him a real challenge. I was always excited at the prospect while knowing full well that the slightest mistake on my part could be dealt with severely. He had the ability to tear into a bowler and that's what made him the prized wicket of all. In fact, each time he walked out to bat you could sense something special was about to happen. This is because he always had the weight of achievement behind him and would walk out to a standing ovation no matter where he played. Boria: What do you think will be his lasting legacy? Bond: If I am to conjecture on his legacy I'd say the most important fact that he will leave behind is the amazing run he has had for such a long time. It is just staggering for someone to be able to do that and for this reason alone Sachin will go down in history as one of the game's all-time greats. When you add to this the way he played, the number of matches he has won for India and that he has played all the formats with distinction, you are left slack jawed in wonder! Boria: Finally, will the NZ crowd miss him when India tours your country in 2014? Bond: Of course they will. As I have already said at the start Sachin was almost a permanent fixture of an Indian touring team. We knew we'd see him in action. The crowds just loved him. Of course they'd miss him. Even 10-15 years down the line people will keep talking about him. And for myself I can say that while people will talk about him as one of the greatest batsman the world had ever seen I can say that I played with him and bowled to him. No one can take that away from me. Bowling to him is a story for my grandchildren if you know what I mean!

Axe Cop The American Choppers #1
Story by Malachai Nicolle
Pencils,Inks, and Lettering by Ethan Nicolle
Colors by Dirk Erik Schulz
Cover by Ethan Nicolle
Publisher Dark Horse Comics
Axe Cop is back and caught in a whirlwind of lunacy as per usual.
For those readers not familiar with Axe Cop, here's a little back story. The artist Ethan Nicolle started Axe Cop as a web-comic based on his then five year old brother Malachai's imaginative creations. Axe Cop's popularity grew as it spawned toys, t-shirts, an expansion to the popular card game Munchkin, and even an animated show on Fox.
The American Choppers is the latest Axe Cop adventure, and though there is a very loose continuity in the Axe Cop universe one need not have read any previous adventures to enjoy American Choppers.

Twenty years ago today, Quentin Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein unveiled the filmmaker's sophomore movie — an ambitious anthology of crime stories, all interconnected and metatextualized — at a late Saturday night screening at the Cannes Film Festival. A little over three hours later, as the crowd staggered out of the Palais des Festivals, they knew they had an audience favorite on their hands. Soon, they would be able to add Palme d'Or winner, Best Picture Oscar nominee, the first indie film to break the $100 million mark, a gamechanger and a modern classic to the list. »

In 1994, director Quentin Tarantino premiered a instant-classic film, Pulp Fiction. The crime movie did several unexpected things that year: it revitalized the careers of John Travolta, Bruce Willis, and Samuel L Jackson, launched long-standing accolades for Tarantino, and helped cultivate an extended Easter Egg of pop culture references that would appear in not only Tarantino films but also in TV, music and other films alike. As the film celebrates the 20th anniversary of the film's debut at the Cannes Film Festival, VH1 digs up all the fun facts that fans may have not known about the landmark Tarantino film.
1. Steve Buscemi has an un-credited cameo as the waiter in the diner of the dance scene. He shares a scene with Mia Wallace—played by Uma Thurman—who orders a milkshake.
2. Ellen DeGeneres read for the role of Jody, the wife of Lance (Eric Stoltz), which ultimately went to Rosanna Arquette. »

The horseshoe crabs are returned to the ocean a great distance from where they were initially picked up to avoid rebleeding animals. The whole process takes between 24 and 72 hours.
The industry says that not that many of the animals die. Between 10 and 30 percent of the bled animals, according to varying estimates, actually die. We can imagine that it's like us giving blood. The crabs get some apple juice and animal crackers and are fine soon thereafter.
But some people have noticed problems. In the regions where horseshoe crabs are harvested in large numbers for biomedical purposes—like Pleasant Bay, Massachusetts—fewer and fewer females are showing up to spawn. Perhaps the bleeding was, to use a technical term, messing them up, even if it wasn't killing them.
Researchers at the University of New Hampshire and Plymouth State University decided to test this hypothesis. They attached accelerometers to female horseshoe crabs that had been bled for our benefit.
They reported their results in a new paper in The Biological Bulletin, "Sublethal Behavioral and Physiological Effects of the Biomedical Bleeding Process on the American Horseshoe Crab, Limulus polyphemus."
The bleeding process appears to make the bled animals more lethargic, slower, and less likely to follow the tides like their counterparts do.
"The changes we observed in activity levels, movement velocity, and expression of tidal rhythms may interfere with daily L. polyphemus activities, which would be particularly pronounced during the spawning season," they write. "Spawning necessitates several energetically costly trips to the intertidal zone larger females tend to make more excursions to the intertidal zone, often making multiple trips within the same week. An activity deficit, such as that caused by biomedical bleeding, may influence either the number of those trips or their timing. In the case of the latter, females may delay spawning activity while they are recuperating, and this could reduce their spawning output."
In short: Bleeding a female horseshoe crab may make it less likely to mate, even if it doesn't kill it. (Only 18 percent of the crabs the authors tracked died.)
While the bleeding process is clearly better for the crabs than the outright harvesting that used to occur, the study shows that there's no such thing as free horseshoe crab blood.
The logical question to ask is: Why hasn't a synthetic substitute for LAL been developed? After all, it's not like we still get insulin for diabetics from pigs. We use yeast to produce it using the DNA sequence that codes for the protein.
It turns out: Companies are researching this solution. They don't want the precursor of their product to be regulated by a Fishery Management Plan, if they can avoid it.
In particular, biologist Ding Jeak Ling from the National University of Singapore succeeded in producing the key bacterial detection enzyme, known as Factor C, in yeast. She licensed the process to Lonza, which has brought it to market as a product called PyroGene. A German company named Hyglos has been working on another synthetic endotoxin detector, too. Other, even more advanced technologies are on the way, too.
So, good news for the horseshoe crab! It's like when we struck crude oil and sperm whales celebrated (at least in the imagination of a Vanity Fair cartoonist).
The cosmic joke might be that horseshoe crabs, which for the past 30 years have been a high-value part of the new biotech economy, will return to their previous status as fishermen's bait for predatory snails. Being valuable alive has obviously hurt the horseshoe crab in some ways. But having no economic value at all is worse.
Horseshoe crabs are an ancient animal, more than half a billion years old. They have their own ways of doing things, a fact we've been exploiting for decades. Their blue blood? That's because copper plays the role in the crabs' blood that iron does in ours. The iron-based, oxygen-carrying hemoglobin molecules in our blood give it that red color; the copper-based, oxygen-carrying hemocyanin molecules in theirs make it baby blue.
Our own species evolved a thousand times more recently, coming into our current anatomical form a couple hundred thousand years ago. Let's hope we don't wipe horseshoe crabs out after we finish cloning their ancient chemical wisdom.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

It says "EFF urges consumers not to use this feature, because it will make their personal data more vulnerable to subpoenas from the government and possibly private litigants, while providing a convenient one-stop-shop for hackers who've obtained a user's Google password."February 09, 2006
Google Copies Your Hard Drive - Government Smiles in Anticipation
Consumers Should Not Use New Google Desktop
San Francisco - Google today announced a new "feature" of its Google Desktop software that greatly increases the risk to consumer privacy. If a consumer chooses to use it, the new "Search Across Computers" feature will store copies of the user's Word documents, PDFs, spreadsheets and other text-based documents on Google's own servers, to enable searching from any one of the user's computers. EFF urges consumers not to use this feature, because it will make their personal data more vulnerable to subpoenas from the government and possibly private litigants, while providing a convenient one-stop-shop for hackers who've obtained a user's Google password.
"Coming on the heels of serious consumer concern about government snooping into Google's search logs, it's shocking that Google expects its users to now trust it with the contents of their personal computers," said EFF Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston. "If you use the Search Across Computers feature and don't configure Google Desktop very carefullyand most people won'tGoogle will have copies of your tax returns, love letters, business records, financial and medical files, and whatever other text-based documents the Desktop software can index. The government could then demand these personal files with only a subpoena rather than the search warrant it would need to seize the same things from your home or business, and in many cases you wouldn't even be notified in time to challenge it. Other litigantsyour spouse, your business partners or rivals, whoevercould also try to cut out the middleman (you) and subpoena Google for your files."
The privacy problem arises because the Electronic Communication Privacy Act of 1986, or ECPA, gives only limited privacy protection to emails and other files that are stored with online service providersmuch less privacy than the legal protections for the same information when it's on your computer at home. And even that lower level of legal protection could disappear if Google uses your data for marketing purposes. Google says it is not yet scanning the files it copies from your hard drive in order to serve targeted advertising, but it hasn't ruled out the possibility, and Google's current privacy policy appears to allow it.
"This Google product highlights a key privacy problem in the digital age," said Cindy Cohn, EFF's Legal Director. "Many Internet innovations involve storing personal files on a service provider's computer, but under outdated laws, consumers who want to use these new technologies have to surrender their privacy rights. If Google wants consumers to trust it to store copies of personal computer files, emails, search histories and chat logs, and still 'not be evil,' it should stand with EFF and demand that Congress update the privacy laws to better reflect life in the wired world."

So once again, it is the feature, which you have to turn on and sign up for a google account yourself, that they don't want you to use. And as I said before, EFF is a little harsh with their titles sometimes.
My point is, Google is not 't3h evilness', they are not sellouts, and they are not the government's bitch. Making such a claim is jumping the gun, as that summation of yours apparently did. The product is fine, the feature and the legislation is inherently flawed.
thanks to Silverwmoon!
the summation was not mine. I was merely posting an article because I found it interesting. I honestly do not particularly care what google does, and enjoy them as a company. gmail is a wonderful thing.
I also never said that google was the governments bitch. I'm somewhat confused where you got that idea from. I am fully aware that google and the dept. of justice are in a legal battle right now.

Saturday Night Live ignores so many perennial complaints — that it's stale, that it has a spotty history with women, that sketches are too long — that it was kind of surprising to hear in mid-December that they were holding not-very-secret "secret auditions" to find a black woman to join the cast. Cast members Kenan Thompson and Jay Pharoah had both been talking about it in different ways, but to have longtime SNL boss Lorne Michaels suddenly go for a mid-season hire?
The next step came Monday, when we learned that Sasheer Zamata, an alum of the Upright Citizens Brigade system, would be joining the cast immediately. (I encourage you to poke around her site and especially her YouTube channel if you haven't seen her stuff. It's terrific.)
Whether this winds up meaning very much will depend on what happens next.
The worst outcome here would be the easiest one: This conversation now ends, because the show has demonstrated that it isn't unwilling to hire a black woman, that the door is not locked, and that there is no absolute rule against it despite the fact that it's happened only four times in 38 years. The hiring itself, without more, doesn't accomplish nearly as much for Zamata or even for the content of the substance of the show as it does for Lorne Michaels and the show as a PR problem.
After all, the primary reason to address diversity issues at a place like SNL if you happen to be in charge of it is not so that people won't say you're a racist. That might be the most pressing reason for you, but it's not the most primary reason for the show. The primary reason for the show, in addition to a hopefully genuine desire to provide equal opportunity, is that multiplying the perspectives of your creative staff multiplies the number of things they've thought about enough to be funny about them and, as an added bonus, can also help your other writers not drive into ditches while trying to navigate areas where their perspectives are limited. This emphatically does not apply to race alone — but it applies to it nevertheless.
Consider this piece Zamata did (which addresses racist language and therefore drops some of it, so be aware) about doing voice-over work in which she's asked to sound more "urban."
That bit has a point of view, and that point of view is informed not solely by the fact that she's a black woman, but certainly in part by the fact that she is. And the fact that she's bringing that point of view (among countless others, undoubtedly) to SNL is part of what makes the hire such a potential asset. That's not to mention the fact that Thompson and Pharoah had both had it with being responsible for drag portrayals of any black woman the show might want to portray. Those are the sorts of content considerations that make this so promising, not the idea that it quiets down people asking the question, "Is Saturday Night Live racist?"
That's true both because that question is about process and good faith rather than results and because one hire doesn't answer that question anyway. You can act in good faith and wind up with a lack of diversity, and you can act in bad faith and wind up with lots of diversity, so going back and forth about whether the show is excluding people on purpose or by accident or because they're not "ready" is, while an important conversation, quite a different one from whether the show is suffering from an imbalance of perspectives.
Maybe we can think about it this way: a lack of diversity in your cast is like a leak in your roof. It's common, you could let it go if you wanted to and probably proceed as a happy homeowner, but you'd have a sounder house if you were to fix it. And if your roof is leaking and your response is, "Well, I didn't make it leak on purpose; in fact, I've maintained it exactly the way they told me to," that really doesn't do anything about the fact that your roof is still leaking. That doesn't make the issue of whether you maintained it irrelevant; it just makes it separate. You can argue all day that it's not because you did anything irresponsible, and you can be wrong or you can be right; you still get wet.
It's one thing to acknowledge that diversity can be a difficult thing for even people of good will to address. It's another to mistake your process for your results and conclude that unless someone can find a specific complaint about your process that they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt, your results are de facto perfectly fine.
The hiring of Zamata is certainly an important first step, but that's all it is. The well-documented history of that show is littered with people whose tenures went nowhere — including some very talented folks like Sarah Silverman and Casey Wilson. (Michaels made the rather odd comment to the New York Times that he didn't want to add too many women because the show already has five. Five out of 17.)
The show is notoriously such a paradoxically competitive and collaborative environment that success depends both on learning to fiercely advocate for yourself and on finding people you can collaborate with successfully, including both other members of the cast and people on the writing staff. There are currently 17 people in that cast, including seven featured players. There's a lot of jostling. It can be very hard to tell from the outside whether people just don't work out, or whether they don't get support, or what.
If it doesn't work out for her, that isn't an argument against continuing to look, any more than the countless white dudes who didn't do much is an argument against hiring more. If it does work out for her, that isn't an argument against continuing to look either.
This is thorny stuff to navigate. As Beejoli Shah recently documented at Defamer, the hiring is only the beginning, and a hiring that's viewed as being all about diversity where there's no follow-up can backfire on the person you hire. Zamata's chops aren't in much dispute; she seems to have plenty of support (she's even opened for one-time SNL writer John Mulaney, who wrote Stefon with/for Bill Hader) and everybody seems to acknowledge she's perfectly and fully qualified. So perhaps that's promising. (A funny note: It's a little bit tough to use the argument that they just couldn't find people, given that they've presumably known where to find Zamata since she was a finalist for a diversity scholarship in 2011 sponsored by UCB and, uh … NBC Universal.)
They'll certainly write some stuff for her in the short term, but over time, it will be far more important whether they write for her and use her on the show than it is that they made the hire.

Chances are it wouldn't address the problem that much. The people who focus fire and blow ships up in a few seconds are extremely refined machines and they'll blow you up in... two more seconds. Or worse, you'll see your team slaughtered around you while you wittle away at a shield facing, and just as you get it down, you're the last one standing and the only remaining target.
The only real way to combat teamwork is with teamwork of your own, but it's a difficult situation. You'll get your ragtag team to follow a few commands and orders, but the other teams have been doing it for years and are just inherently better at the game and at countering the counters others throw at them.
In short, a damage resistance debuff probably wouldn't help much to be honest.

Zacks Investment Research asks how can you tell the economy is back? Because consumers are buying RVs again. Winnebago Industries, Inc. (NYSE:WGO) managed to make it through the Great Recession, gobbling up market share along the way. This Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) is now poised for triple digit earnings growth in 2013 as RV sales rebound.
Winnebago's brand recognition is so strong that when you think of RVs it's the first name that comes to mind. Founded in 1958 in Iowa, Winnebago manufactures a variety of recreation vehicles ("RVs") including motor homes, travel trailers and fifth wheel products.
Given consolidation in the industry during the Great Recession, Winnebago was able to add to its market share and now has about 20% of the RV market.
Baby Boomers And The Economic Recovery
Motor home sales peaked in 2004 at 69,000 and plunged during the Great Recession. By 2011, only 25,000 motor homes were shipped. But that number is expected to slowly rise as the economy improves and the Baby Boomers age.
The key segment of RV buyers is 55 to 64 years of age. The Baby Boomers are just on the cusp of reaching that age range right now with more to come in the next few years. That's a built-in market for RVs.
Additionally, the stock market has recovered its pre-recession highs and housing is starting to recover, both which will free up cash for Baby Boomers to take to the road.
All of this adds up to good things for the RV manufacturers. The RV and manufactured home industry has a top Zacks Industry Rank of 9 out of 265 industries.
Blew Out Fiscal First Quarter 2013
On Dec 20, Winnebago reported fiscal first quarter 2013 results and blew by the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 189%. Revenue surged 46.8% to $193.6 million in the 14-week quarter from $131.8 million in the 13-week quarter a year ago.
Inventories at dealerships are low and demand is rising. The company has had to hire additional employees to meet production demands the last two quarters. It also warned that production would slow during the winter holidays due to employees taking time off.
Given the grim years of the Great Recession, having too many orders is certainly a problem the company will gladly deal with.
2013 Zacks Consensus Estimate Rises
The tide is turning in the RV industry. Just 90 days ago, the analysts were not as bullish. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Fiscal 2013 was just 47 cents. But given the big beat in the first quarter, the estimates surged to 80 cents.
That is earnings growth of 220% as Winnebago earned just 25 cents in 2012.
While the short term picture looks bright, the longer term outlook past 6 months is also strong for Winnebago. It has a Zacks Recommendation, which looks out further than the Zacks Rank, of Outperform.
Shares At Multi-Year High
Given the rally in the overall markets and the positive news in the RV industry, it's not surprising that shares of Winnebago have rallied to new 5-year highs.
It's not a cheap stock. It has a forward P/E of 26 but that is in line with Winnebago's 10-year average. It does have one good value metric, however. Its price-to-sales ratio is just 0.9. A P/S ratio under 1.0 usually indicates value.
Having survived the rough years of the Great Recession, Winnebago is perfectly positioned to cash in on the economic recovery and the aging of the Baby Boomers.
For investors looking to add a consumer-related stock to their portfolios, Winnebago is one that checks all the boxes.

Dr. Russell Tritapoe's Ratings
Really like Dr. Tritapoe. He was great with my 6 year old who needed dental work.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2194531].votes_count ]]
Dr. Tritapoe was a huge help in getting my while mouth done. I had to have 15 teeth removed, which he broke up in 2 sessions. Because he didn't wanna do to much trauma on me. As he knew I was scared because I hadn't been to the dentist in years and had some serious work to be done. He was kind and patient with me as was his assistant. Very professional but tries to make you laugh to calm you and make you feel comfortable at the same time. Professional, courteous, friendly and prompt

Broadway Financial Corporation Announces Revised Net Earnings For First Quarter Ended March 31, 2012
Broadway Financial Corporation (the "Company") (NASDAQ: BYFC), parent company of Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b. (the "Bank"), today announced its revised results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Our previously reported results for the quarter have been revised because some of the provisions that we had included in the results for the first quarter of 2012 are now reflected in our restated results for 2011. In addition, the revision to the results for the first quarter of 2012 reflect conclusions regarding our valuation allowances reached by the Office of the Controller of Currency during its recently completed supervisory examination of the Bank.
Based on these changes, we are reporting net earnings of $154,000 for the first quarter of 2012, whereas previously we had reported a loss of $60,000. In contrast, we reported a net loss of $129,000 for the first quarter of 2011. After deducting preferred dividends and related discount accretion on the Series D and E Perpetual Cumulative Preferred Stock held by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, we are now reporting a loss to common stockholders of $132,000, as compared to a previously announced loss of $346,000 for the first quarter of 2012 and a loss of $412,000 for the first quarter of 2011.
A summary of the effects of these corrections on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 and consolidated statement of operations for the quarter then ended is included with this release. More detailed information regarding our financial condition at March 31, 2012 and our results of operations for the three months then ended will be contained in our report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2012 to be filed shortly with the Securities and Exchange Commission.About Broadway Financial Corporation Broadway Financial Corporation conducts its operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b., which is the leading community-oriented savings bank in Southern California serving low to moderate income communities.

Upgrading ubuntu server and components
Hi Guys,
I have configured ISPConfig 3 to lastest version last month or two and I have a lot of updates in monitor tab and in the future there will be more and more updates. So if I run apt-get update and after that upgrade and there is for example upgrade for postfix, clamAV, mysql, ... can it break my server with ISPConfig? If so, can I run re-sync of updated components via ISPConfig and it take correct actual configuration for my server?
Understand me that only what I want is to upgrade everything and keep it working.
Guys how you handle upgrades and keep stable system with components of ISPConfig?
Thank you for clarification.
