Analysts Set Sights On Smith Wesson
Smith Wesson Holding Corporation (SWHC), a global provider of products and services for safety, security, protection, and sport, was recently upgraded to Outperform at Avondale with a $4.25 per share price target. Smith Wesson financial performance has been negatively impacted by federal spending, but it has announced plans to sell or spinoff the unit. Lackluster Financial Performance
Smith Wesson has been trading lower than its peer group in recent months. For instance, its stock is trading down nearly 20% yeartodate, compared to Sturm, Ruger Company (RGR), nearly 100% increase over the same time period. Of course, some of this discrepancy can be described by simply looking at the companies most recent earnings reports.
Last quarter, Smith Wesson reported a 4.5% increase in revenues and net income of 1 cent per share, while Sturm, Ruger Company (RGR) revenues jumped nearly 17% during the first half with net income of $0.57 per share. These higher growth rates justify higher multiples and therefore a greater valuation, as is reflected in the current market price.
Digging Deeper to Find True Value
But looking a bit deeper yields some key insights. The primary catalyst behind Smith Wesson lackluster results was a 56.4% decline in its security solutions sales, which offset a solid 18% increase in its firearms sales. And earlier this month, the company announced plans to sell or spinoff the unit into a separate publicly traded entity in a move that could unlock significant value.
The company underlying fundamentals also appear to be improving. Earlier this month, it was awarded two firearm contracts in Texas from the Austin Police Department and the San Antonio Police Officers Association. Both organizations converted their firearms to the company products and could produce additional shareholder value down the road.

"We need elves todaywho wants to be in the show?" On Food Network's quirky, wildly successful foodscience program, most of the characters in the show aren't played by actorsthey're staffers dressed up as scientists, giant onions, gingerbread men or whatever Alton has in mind for his comedic skits. This is one lowmaintenance operation. The crew members all do their own hair and makeup, scenes are shot out of order to conserve budget and Alton often adlibs. The result: Good Eats, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, is one of the network's three toprated shows, drawing more than 20 million viewers a month. And it's the only food program other than Julia Child's to win a prestigious Peabody Award. Alton has an edge over other directors because he knows how to manage both sides of the camerain fact, he originally planned to stay behind it. After graduating from the University of Georgia, he started his career as a cameraman. "I shot commercials, many of which weren't very good," he says of his early career. "I was unhappy andcooking made me feel better. I started watching cooking shows and decided that I wanted to make a food show of my own." He told his wife, DeAnna, who pointed out that hosting a food show wasn't a likely career for a guy whose main credential was watching cooking programs. So the Browns struck a deal: Alton would apply to three top culinary schools, and if he got into one, they would sell their house in Atlanta and she would support him through school. (DeAnna, who now runs Alton's production company, suggested the name Good Eats.) The couple shot demo episodes with friends at an Atlanta film company. "It took over a year to sell the show because we didn't know what we were doing," Alton says. "We couldn't get anyone at Food Network to look at it, and we didn't know the right people, so we were doubly doomed." Eventually, a clip of the show landed on the Kodak website, and by chance, programming executive Matthew Stillman saw itand saw huge potential. He scribbles down the concept, and one to four years later, he fills in the rest of the show. To help develop an idea, his threeperson culinary department starts a research binder. "I'm interested in foods that people eat a lot but never make for themselves," he says. "One day, I was thinking to myself, 'Why don't we bake our own crackers? Oh, because Keebler elves do. Oh.' " In a matter of days, Alton typed out a script, including skits about elf characters in trees who would explain how they cook crackers, to be portrayed by fearless staffers. Of course, the volunteers would need costumes. And props. "On average, we make at least 20 props per day, and most are used within 10 minutes of being made," says production designer Todd Bailey. He's holding a chain saw and standing below a sixfoot human nose and an enormous Styrofoam pomegranate from the "Fruit 10 From Outer Space" episode. "The props can be anything Alton dreams upa medieval cracker cutter?a giant Xray machine. He likes things supersized. When he wanted a hand, it couldn't be normal size. He had to be able to sit in it."The entire Good Eats staff, with the exception of DeAnna, has appeared on camera (though Alton and DeAnna's 9yearold daughter, Zoey, has appeared in about a dozen episodes). One popular recurring star is Brett Soll, a burly video editor who could easily be cast as a linebacker. He has appeared as a Dutch Girl, Swiss Girl, Miner's Wife and Peasant Wife. "Brett was fated to be a girl," Alton says. "We've put him in drag so many times that he came to us one day and said, 'Guys, I don't want to be a girl anymore.' "For the cracker episode, Soll was once again a good sport, allowing wardrobe designer Amanda Kibler to put him in a floppy hat and elf ears. "I found some cheesy vests online, and the worst color yellow shirts," Kibler says. "And putting black bob wigs on men is always funny." Back in the kitchen, Alton runs through scenes of crackerdough preparation. After an email break, he comes back to film the head shotsand because he's also the director of the show, he decides it's a wrap. He grins for the camera, and relaxes. "Cut! Nailed it! Thank you very much."Alton's Top 5
We asked the host to reveal his favorite episodes of all time. Read more about them in his new book, Good Eats: The Early Years ($37.50; Stewart, Tabori and Chang).1. "The Dough Also Rises"
"On this episode, I got to make biscuits with my grandmother. I dearly loved that woman and her biscuits. I'm so grateful that we got to do this together before she passed away. Now my daughter can watch the show and really know what that feisty old broad was about."2. "Salad Daze I"
"There's a simple scene where we use Bubble Wrap to explain the difference between tearing and cutting salad greens. It worked really well. From then on, all our science 'rigs' had to live up to the Bubble Wrap."3. "Oat Cuisine"
"Although it's culinarily useless, I deeply dig the haggis scene, wherein our second propsman Paul Merchant and I make haggis outdoors in full Braveheart regalia. And yes, we were real Scots that day."4. "Tuna: The Other Red Meat"
"In our second steak show, I did a scene hanging upside down in front of the oven to make a point about broilers. I had to do the scene completely straight

Advancements In The Field Of Sports Fences
Advancements In The Field Of Sports Fences
Sports fences used to be either crude wooden noisy kick boards or bleak looking steel perimeter fences but nowadays they have progressed to more intuitive alternatives that match their corresponding sport perfectly. Different sports means different attributes are required from the sports fences that encompass the playing area and modern sports fences have been tailored with this in mind.
Choosing the right fences to match your sport is very important. Some fencing companies stock a range of sports fences so it is worth consulting an expert and explaining your exact requirements so that you get the correct product. Whatever the sport is, there are fences to match. For five a side football there are perimeter fences with a twin wire design which has been designed to replicate the bounce that traditional wooden rebound boards provides but is far more hard wearing and features rubber inserts that massively reduce the noise when a football hits it. By reducing the volume of noise that each bounce makes it means that it can be installed in areas where previously this was impossible such as near to houses and residents.
If you need fences for a hockey pitch these have been tailored so that the gaps in the fences get gradually smaller towards the ground making it impossible for the hockey ball to slip through. Perimeter fencing for tennis courts also has smaller gaps to ensure that tennis balls cannot escape through them whilst also being specially designed to be thin enough for spectators to easily view the action.
