First item at hand was the crib. If you follow us on Instagram, you saw that we received our crib a few weeks back. We chose the Baby Mod 3 in 1 crib from Walmart because of its great style and affordability as well as the fact that it is solid wood with non toxic finishes. We finally were able to put it together after the room was painted and the carpet was cleaned.
The crib has two tones, with an amber wood grain for the base with legs and white rails. I love the modern look.
The assembly was super easy and Devin was able to assemble it in about 45 minutes with my superior instruction reading ability.
Of course we had help...the amber color in Roxie really brings out the amber in the wood grain don't ya think!
I'm so happy that we have a crib for baby girl. The room definitely feels like a nursery now!
After we received the crib, we were able to start on the dresser we will be using for the changing table. We purchased the Mandal 6-drawer dresser from IKEA a while back. After looking at several options, we decided on this guy since he was solid wood and definitely within our price range.
Our goal was to stain the birch wood to match the amber wood grain of the crib base. So with one leg from the crib, we went to Lowes to find stain to match. After we found the right color, we could start. Prior to applying the stain we had to sand the clear finish off of the wood frame.
You can see the difference in the clear coat and the raw wood here. The left is the sanded side and the right still has the clear finish.
After sanding we cleaned off all of the dust with tack cloth and started applying the stain. We ended up using Minwax Wood Finish oil based stain in the color English Chestnut that you can get at your local hardware store. In the picture below you can see a crib leg as our reference for color.
We had to apply two coats. Each coat had to be applied and sit for 15 minutes then wiped down and allowed to dry for a few hours prior to the next coat.
After the two coats were applied and allowed to dry for 24 hours, we applied a protective finish of Polycrylic that I LOVE cause it does no yellow!! Needless to say the process took a while since we stained both sides of every board and had to do two coats plus the clear coat. A couple of days later, we were able to assemble the dresser...
and voila!
I love the two tone wood and white and how the stain finish turned out! It goes with the crib beautifully. I'm so happy that the big pieces are complete and now we are into the details. I have some piece of mind now if baby girl decides to come early...(stay in there a little longer baby girl!)

I still remember my initial days in Saudi Arabia when everyone was feeding me with a set of things not to do in Saudi Arabia. You can understand someone who has brought in an entirely different culture; it is very difficult for him to settle down in Saudi environment. Out of these many instructions, one left me astonished. Someone was telling me that in case I see some accident on road and find some injured people, I should not touch them and wait for the ambulance to come. He further added that I don't even have to give them water even if passengers are dying. I did not believe in it at that time and later on it was realized that it is just a baseless myth about Saudi Arabia. Finally, today I have thought to enlighten readers of this blog with a set of instructions they have to do in case they see an accident on road in Saudi Arabia.
What to do if you see an Accident on Road in Saudi Arabia?
- As soon as you see an accident on the road and if there is no one to attend, you need to park your car to a safe place and rush towards the accident place. Keep in mind, your security is more important than the security of those people who have already met with an accident.
- As soon as you reach the place, you need to check if there is any need for immediate action. For example, if some injured person is lying down on the road, you need to take him on the side so that someone else going on a high speed doesn't hit him. If you see fire around the vehicle, you need to take the injured people out of the scenario to a safer place. Many people will try to stop you from doing so just because of the above mentioned myth.
- Once you have made sure that the injured people are secure, you need to call an ambulance. In case of fire, you need to call fire brigade. If you have assistance of more than one people, you can ask him to call at the emergency numbers while you take care of the security of the injured people. Recommended: "Emergency Numbers in Saudi Arabia"
- If you are trained to provide first aid, there is nothing wrong in providing first aid to the injured people. Give them water, try to stop their blood flow and do whatever you think can save their life. Be available to them till the time ambulance reaches the place of accident.
- Try to avoid touching female injured passengers unless their relatives allow you to do it.

Alongside them, one white traffic officer. Behind, three armoured vehicles and 20 riot policemen, placid as the day was mild, keeping watch.
The occasion was the funeral of Oliver Tambo, Nelson Mandela's predecessor as president of the ANC.
Thousands of ANC supporters were arriving in cars, buses and lorries to attend Tambo's burial in Wattville township, where he once lived.
The ceremony itself had taken place earlier in the day at Soweto's Soccer City stadium, the setting for Chris Hani's funeral two weeks ago. The structures of the two events were the same - speeches, procession, burial - but the tone and the choreography, were different.
For the funeral of Hani, the assassinated idol of the ANC youth, 100,000 people crammed into a stadium designed to accommodate 80,000. Yesterday 20,000 at most turned up. The mood at Hani's funeral had been angry. Yesterday the collective act of mourning for Tambo, who died a natural death, found expression in a celebration, both exuberant and solemn, of a full life bravely lived.
A jazz band played songs to which the crowd danced and swayed. A religious choir performed African dirges and English hymns. Teenage drum majorettes competed for marching space with Umkhonto soldiers in starch-pressed camouflage uniforms - the biggest contingent, about 150, ever seen in public in South Africa. Dignitaries absent from Hani's funeral, wisely dissuaded from coming by the prospect of violence, were there in force.
Bill Clinton, Yasser Arafat and Fidel Castro all sent emissaries. As did dozens more representatives of foreign governments and organisations. Jesse Jackson was there, as was 'Tiny' Rowland, Tambo having benefited from the Lonrho boss's traditional largesse to African leaders.
Mr Mandela's speech was not so much a political harangue as an elegy. Tambo had been his political associate, but also, for 40 years, his closest friend.
'Oliver lived not because he could breathe. He lived not because blood flowed through his veins. Oliver lived not because he did all the things that all of us as ordinary men and women do. Oliver lived because he had surrendered his very being to the people.
'He lived because his very being embodied love, an idea, a hope, an aspiration, a vision.'
Mr Mandela, for whom Tambo has already become fixed as the patron saint of the ANC, sustained throughout the Biblical note.
'As you instructed, we will bring peace to our tormented land. As you directed, we will bring freedom to the oppressed and liberation to the oppressor.
'As you strived, we will restore the dignity of the dehumanised. As you commanded, we will defend the option of a peaceful resolution to our problems. As you prayed, we will respond to the cries of the wretched of the earth.'
When Mr Mandela finished his speech, the little children of the ANC, the uniformed 'Pioneers', came unto him and handed him a scarf in the movement's green, gold and black.
Mr Mandela wrapped the scarf around his neck, over his dark suit and tie, and joined the procession across the grass to the hearse, behind the coffin, draped in the ANC flag, behind a cross held high by the first of a cluster of bishops and church ministers, following Tambo's wife and family.
Outside the stadium, up ahead on the road to Tambo's last resting place, the South African police and the Umkhonto soldiers entered into the spirit of the day, set aside old enmities and worked their small miracle.

When I went to our academy we only got 40 hours of firearms training. Instructors got 80 hours. How many hours of firearms training do Illinios police get at the academy? I'll bet it aint 80 hours. I'm talking firearms training not firearms law training.

Victimized by consumerism and modernity, Ishida transforms his body into machinery in means to convey his body as a vessel of empty existence in Supermarket (Lot 869). Tragically mutated, the arms become an automatic belt used in supermarkets to expedite the process in counters. Horizontally industrious arms are weighed in heavy colors of grey, rusted with brown patches as if it was overworked in repetition. The packaged foods are ornamented in unappetizing hues of brown and orange. The melancholy palette overcasts the ambiance of an industrialized factory; here, the oeuvre is not in silence like in Untitled but more at work, where the circulating motors can be heard with the beeping sounds of the price detector. The sober gaze becomes the core expressionism, as the metamorphosized protagonist cry with muted expression of the loss of purpose and self, unveiling the existential anxiety of the artist.
The damaged life and existence is blamed towards the rapid economic growth and technological production of Japan. Ishida observes life by looking into youths and their conditions of life in response to society and technology's expectation upon them. The solitude and identity crisis are expressed poignantly through his emblematic scenarios, heavily imbued with skepticism of an excess culture that has reinforced an entrapment of self and even of the city structure. The tightly woven infrastructure is also to be condemned for breeding contemporary symptoms of claustrophobia, where loss of mobility and space has upshot a physical and mental traffic of individuals. The seclusion individuals felt developed collectively with technology, as humans rarely communicated or found deeper connections with each other. Ishida consents to this social fact and therapeutically communicates it through his paintings.

We love spending time together as a family! We have two amazing kids and they LOVE to go to Bear Lake.
Jamie Poulsen purchased this house in 2017
We love to travel, but one of our best family trips was to Garden City. Our children love to go to the lake and swim and collect shells. It is a great place to spend time together! The Paris Ice Caves are a favorite and Beaver Mountain for ski season! But the best is to go hang out on the beach in the summertime! North Beach is our favorite! There are so many trails for ATVs and snowmobiles!!!
We love this home! It is comfortable and gives everyone their own space, yet keeps us close together at the same time. The children love to play together out in the yard and we love to barbecue and roast marshmallows together. We love playing air hockey and ping pong out in the garage and it's always fun to shoots hoops on the driveway!
This is our second time at this rental and loved every min even more than the last time! Super clean home with everything you need to feel at home and walking distance to the gorgeous lake. Local eateries are a less then 5 min drive. We really enjoyed hot tubbing after a long day of water sports. Owners were so accommodating to our needs...cant say enough nice things about this place and will def be coming back!!!
Have rented this home two years in a row and have made such happy memories there. Large enough for 7 adults and 5 grandchildren - and all were comfortable. Large kitchen, jetted bath tubs, big beautiful master suite, hot tub on the back deck with spectacular views and these are just a few of the highlights. Very private and close to everything. Highly recommend this property. The owners are wonderful and want nothing more than to make your stay spectacular.
My family stayed in this beautiful home for the weekend. The entire house is gorgeous, fully stocked with towels and beach toys, pots and pans and everything else you need to fix meals. There was even sugar for my coffee. The hot tub on the patio is fantastic with the sunset. Close to the beach. My grandson watched movies and played games that were there. The owners were very accommodating to anything and everything we needed, before, during and after our stay. They were quick to respond with answers to all my questions.
Great Place. We are already planning to go again.
We were extremely disappointed in this cabin. First off, all the bedrooms were upstairs and the only place to hang out was on the main level. There was no privacy, or separate place for the kids or adults to go, like a basement or separate living/family room. Everyone was walking all over each other. Second, the house was extremely hot. Two of the bedrooms had separate portable A/C units in it but it didn't help and the others suffered. Everyone was miserable and couldn't sleep. It also didn't help that the smoke detectors kept going off at 3:00 a.m. not just a random beep like it needed batteries changed, but the full blown blaring get out of the house there is a fire going off. Third, anytime someone used the electrical outlet in the queen bedroom, the power would go out upstairs and we were constantly going outside to flip the breaker. Fourth, the water pressure in the house was terrible, making for poor showers and the toilet to overflow in one of the upstairs bathrooms. We immediately contacted the owner and they chose to not come assess or fix the situation . No one dared use the bathroom after that, so we were down a facility the rest of the trip. Fifth, the toilet paper was not stocked and we had to go buy our own. Sixth, Multiple light bulbs were burned out and we had to take some from bedrooms and strategically put them in the bathroom and master bedroom to make sure everyone had at least some. Also, they say there are trails for snowmobiling and ATV but be warned - you cannot ride your toys from their property, their neighborhood covenants prohibit this, so you have to load up your ATV's and drive to trail heads (defeating the purpose of choosing this property). Also, they didn't even offer basic cable. They did have a DVD player, but if your going to bother getting a TV, at least offer basic cable. There are far too many other cabins to chose from in Bear Lake, than to have to deal with the inconveniences of this cabin. We have been renting cabins for over 20 years and have never had issues such as these. I guess If your a couple with no expectations than just a simple getaway to play cards in and hang out, then this is your place. If your a multi- family or larger group, I would not recommend this property. The layout of the house was just not well thought out and there is something wrong with their plumbing system.
The master bed is divine! My husband and I keep talking about buying the same mattress because we slept so well! We loved having so many bathrooms and bedrooms that folks could spread out. We used the fire pit in the back yard and relaxed in the hot tub. We have 8 adults and it was a perfect weekend! The place was great for walking to the water or watching movies. We will go back!
We traveled with our entire Family to this Property located in Bear Lake. We were pleasantly surprised to its convenient location to all the emeneties in town, the cleanliness of the Property and the space it provided for all of us. It truly made the trip and stay at Bear Lake special since we had all the conveniences of Home along with the space that the yard provided to play games and have an overall Great time with our Family. Emily was so easy and Awesome to work with. We can't wait to book our next stay at this Property!

My least favorite board of all time. Bad interface. Weak sound.
agreed on the interface, but I think the JX has a unique sound... it would not be my first synth purchase, but since I have some other stuff already I am always peelin' my eyes for one of these on the cheap to get that late 80s, early 90s thing goin' on... but I am partial to those kind of sounds like from dx7 and ESQ1

Not an impressive cruise experience!
Sail Date: November 15, 2015
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Large Group
Room Type: Balcony
Having done 6 cruises in the past, one of them being with NCL (Hawaii), This was the second to last in overall experience. The ship, although reasonable new, was tacky and the food not really great. Also, the whole Freestyle cruising thing was too casual, border lining a Cancun resort, with too much salsa music going on for an European cruise destination.
I will go back to Royal Caribbean. Sorry NCL.

There's a time in a week that you really feel exhausted after a loong tiring work week!
Hubby suggested i try It here for once. Besides, the blind people are the ones good in massaging. When we came here one night, they are all occupied. So i came back some other day.
I was assigned to a blind woman, she's nice and gentle..i get to enjoy naman her service.. but she kept on talking to me the whole time which diminished my time of relaxation.

How to Clean skates or rays
In this video, we learn how to clean skates or rays. First, use a sharp knife to remove the roughness from the top of the ray. After this, stick the knife in both of the sides and cut all the way down. From here, you should just have the middle left and the two sides should go in a bath of clean water to get the dirt off. Continue to repeat this process for all of the rays that you have. You can cook however you want when you are finished cleaning. Make sure you cut the right parts off, the middle is no good to eat.

This vibe is not as good as I expected. I find that it is not strong enough for me. And just when you find the "right spot", it slips off. Took a rather long time for me to totally climax. Will try it with my hubby to use between us. Not worth the money in my opinion.
A she love it
I've had my Nea for a while now, and its still one of my favourites. Quiet too, perfect if you want something discreet. And very handy in couples play as well, because it fits right in my palm. It's very easy to hold while using.
Love this one!.....everything about it...so cute...its NOT pink or purple:...its got good power....no batteries! which is awesome....never runs out mid session...the only thing i would say isn't great about it is that sometimes it gets me going so much that i wanna stick it in....and lets face it....not the best idea:P...definitely worth the money and i will be buying more from this line of toys!
This is the best vibe I have owned. Best pro for me is it is EXTREMELY quiet. Which teenagers around, I certainly don't want them to know I am using a vibe. It is small and discreet. If you enjoy a consistent speed vibrator, this is the one to get. I have had mine for about a year and still works great and maintains a long charge.

Using Architecture To Prevent Crime
Students from the Department of Architecture and Design at Aalborg University are experimenting with structures to make a park safer.
Students from the Department of Architecture and Design at Aalborg University have created an interesting pavilion designed to solve the repeated occurrence of crime at a park in Denmark. A multi-disciplinary group came together for the project in a workshop called 'Social Technologies'.
The pavillion structure shapes an environment where visitors can feel safe as three monitors project artistic lighting on the pavilions' scales. The group explains this unusual project:
The workshop explores the basic exercise in the development of dynamic architectural concepts and computer-generated geometry. The vision was to challenge the complex programs of the urban field and to explore the inherent potentials of new digital tools. Working with two main focus areas, the workshop simultaneously aimed at developing advanced spatial systems for organizing and articulating new social complexities, and at utilizing and adapting different advanced digital design methods for exploring various principles of form generation and advanced production.
In collaboration with architects, CNC-manufacturing companies, media artists, sociologist and the Danish National Crime preventing council – the students participating in the workshop sought to explore the ways in which advanced digital design methods can generate new alternatives for the existing anti-crime initiatives, where technology is often being used to identify guilty persons. The workshop encourages research in the crossing between performative formations and interactive light systems, thus enabling discussions on local culture production and social potentials in form.
Although we're not entirely sure how this building can prevent crime, it does at least offer a beautiful safe haven for park guests.

The Windsor chair is perhaps the best example of eighteenth nineteenth-century English vernacular seat furniture, almost becoming a national utility chair for use indoors or outside. The most common wood used for this type of chair is ash, beech or elm and sometimes yew or fruitwood. However, this chair is made from mahogany, the luxury wood of the 18th century imported from the West Indies. Such mahogany Windsor chairs served as robust hall chairs supplied to Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester (d.1759) for the South Hall, beneath the temple-pedimented portico, of Holkham Hall, Norfolk. Today some of the Holkham chairs are displayed in its Marble Hall (L. Schmidt et al, Holkham, Munich, 2005, plate II, p. 23).
It bears features belonging to examples from the Thames Valley, which covers Buckinghamshire and Surrey, encompassing the districts of Slough and Newington. The distinctive front cabriole legs of this chair do not appear on chairs outside this area. The chair's comb-back and hoop-back top rail are also elements which later personify the 'Windsor' type.

Cseh underlines form with personal best in 100m butterfly
By Rod Gilmour
KAZAN, Russia (Reuters) - Laszlo Cseh continued his fine world championships form on Friday when the Hungarian set a national record in the men's 100 meters butterfly heats.
Cseh, who won Hungary's first world 200m butterfly title on Wednesday to become the oldest champion in the distance, sliced 0.54 seconds off his own 100m butterfly personal best to secure a semi-final berth as top qualifier.
The 29-year-old's time of 50.91 seconds was the first time a swimmer had dipped below 51 seconds since Michael Phelps' gold at the London 2012 Olympics.
Tom Shields of United States posted 51.09 seconds to qualify second fastest, while South Africa's world champion Chad le Clos finished eighth.
"This result was very surprising for me," Cseh told reporters. "I hope I will be faster still in the semi-finals. In Barcelona (in 2013) I finished second but I hope to fight for the gold".
Meanwhile, world and Olympic champion Katie Ledecky of the United States progressed serenely into the women's 800m freestyle final.
The 18-year-old, bidding for four individual freestyle titles, recorded eight minutes 19.42 seconds to secure a final berth ahead of Australia's Jessica Ashwood who touched 2.75 seconds behind. Denmark's Lotte Friis qualified third.
"The distance events have really improved and it's an exciting time to be around them," said Ledecky ahead of Saturday's final. "I always like to finish on a great note and come away with a good feeling." Continued...

IMO I believe that any one person can safely move up to a 1000 with the proper amount of restraint. I say this because even though a 1000 makes more than enough power for the street at 4000 rpm, it is still very tame at that rpm (is not tame past 8k). As long as that person doesn't have the urge to wrap the throttle back ignorantly they should be fine. But generally as a precaution most will say no, because the average person has a certain curiosity of what that bikes capabilities are. As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. In this case it killed the noob. As stated anyone "can" move straight to a 1000 from a learner bike, but the learning curve is not forgiving at all. That said If you keep the rpm's low I doubt that using 1/4 throttle at 4000 rpm is going to flip you in the air at 200 mph in first gear, but if not careful it can go from 35 mph at 4000 rpm in first to 90 mph and flip you if your not respectful of the machine and proceed to WOT. The biggest difference in the 600's and 1000's is the torque, on the street many prefer the 1000's because you don't have to exceed the 4000 rpm mark. Whereas with a 600 I'm sure you don't have to ring its neck to go up a slight incline, but a 600's max torque is around 45 ft/lbs at 10,000 rpm where a 1000 makes more that that at the 4k rpm mark. That is where most get into trouble learning with the 1000's. Just my .02 cents.
Okay guys I know you get this a lot but I have a quick scenario for you. I got my first bike last year which was a GS500F and I am selling it soon to upgrade next spring. I was planning on getting either a GSXR 600 or R6. Well I've found a great deal on a '08 CBR1000. I know it's a huge leap in performance but I can tell you(and if you read my name) I'm not out to do wheelies on the highway or go 190 into the City. My concern is... even with a level head will this 1k get me killed? Is the throttle so touchy that I will loose the rear wheel even when I'm not pushing the bike? Any insight will help. Thanks guys. Oh by the way the bike will mainly be used for commuting and some weekend fun.

When in motion, squids can be observed to "park" on corner entry and abuse the throttle on any available straight.

Pace may be targeted for downsizing, analysts say
Since being acquired by the Campbell Soup Co. three years ago, locally based Pace Foods Ltd. has seen its standing as America's premier Mexican sauce brand fall by the wayside.
In 1997, Pace relinquished the top spot in the Mexican sauces and marinades category of the retail food market to Plano, Texas-based snack-food giant Frito-Lay Inc., a division of conglomerate PepsiCo. Inc.
New Jersey-based Campbell paid $1.1 billion to acquire Pace in 1994, at the peak of America's obsession with salsa and picante products.
Pace manufactures two core hot-sauce products -- picante sauce and salsa dip -- and a queso product, all of which are available in different flavors and heat levels.
But Pace's growth has stalled while Frito-Lay has made considerable market share gains to climb to the top of the industry.
And Pace's sales continue to weaken, according to analysts.
If Pace continues to struggle, analysts suspect its operations may be targeted for consolidation or downsizing by Campbell, which is an aggressive cost-cutter.
The Campbell's unit experienced a decline in sales volume of about 10 percent through the first two quarters of Campbell's 1998 fiscal year, which ended Feb. 1, according to analysts.
"Campbell paid a lot of money for Pace, and it has been a disappointment for Campbell," says analyst Mitchell B. Pinheiro with Janney Montgomery Scott in New York.
Pace operates a manufacturing plant here that employs 368 people.
For the 12-month period ended Jan. 4, 1998, Pace's sales of Mexican sauces and marinades through U.S. supermarkets fell 1.7 percent, to $202.1 million, while Frito-Lay's increased 15 percent to $206.6 million, according to Information Resources Inc. (IRI), a Chicago-based market research firm.
Analysts attribute the recent downturn in Pace's domestic business to a combination of two key factors: a stagnant Mexican sauce category and stiff competition from Frito-Lay.
Campbell spokesperson Mary Kate McDonald attributes Pace's struggles to industry dynamics.
"The Mexican sauces as a category have been relatively flat. We wouldn't see this as a Pace problem," McDonald says.
McDonald adds that Pace's sales overseas have been strong, particularly in Germany and the United Kingdom.
Although the broader Mexican food category continues to expand, the Mexican sauces category hasn't maintained its growth.
Sales of Mexican sauces and marinades through U.S. supermarkets fell 0.4 percent during the 12-month period ended Jan. 4, 1998, to $769.4 million, according to IRI.
However, this decline has not prevented Frito-Lay from grabbing domestic market share at a rapid pace.
"Frito-Lay is a monster," says Luther Ortega, a local food-industry consultant with Strategic Systems.
In 1994, Frito-Lay's market share in the Mexican sauces and marinades category was approximately 18 percent, according to analyst Tony Vento with Edward Jones in St. Louis. During the next three years, Frito-Lay increased its market share to an industry leading 26.9 percent, according to IRI.
"The key is Frito-Lay has gained a dramatic share during that period," Vento says. "For a company to gain 10 share points over the course of two or three years is quite dramatic."
During the same period, Pace saw its market share in the Mexican sauces and marinades category drop from almost 28 percent to less than 27 percent, according to Vento. As of Jan. 4, 1998, Pace's market share stood at 26.3 percent, according to IRI.
Frito-Lay has been much more successful at positioning its sauces on supermarket shelves than Pace, according to analysts.
Frito-Lay operates a direct-store delivery system, which means that one of its employees is responsible for stocking the company's products.
Frito-Lay controls a large percentage of the snack-food sections in U.S. grocery stores. As a result, the company has placed its line of Mexican sauces in those snack sections, where its own chips and other snack brands help drive sauce sales.
Frito-Lay's premium chip brands include Tostitos, Doritos and Fritos. The company's Mexican sauces are marketed under the Tostitos and Taco Bell labels.
But Campbell's products are stocked by the supermarkets' employees. And Pace, because of its strength in Picante, has been relegated to the Mexican food section, far from the complementary snacks.
And while Frito-Lay offers consumers a variety of products, Pace has been unable to successfully develop new products, analysts say.
Pace's queso product, for example, hasn't gained widespread appeal.
"Naturally you need more items to keep the growth of a company going," says Charles Nesbit, a Florida-based independent food-industry consultant.
Analysts add that Frito-Lay has benefited from an aggressive television advertising campaign promoting its products.
At the same time, Pace has cut back on its advertising budget, according to analysts.
"Pace has been clearly outspent by Frito-Lay," Vento says.
The disparity in advertising support between the two brands is indicative of Campbell's focus on minimizing costs, according to analysts.
Cost-cutting initiatives have contributed more to Campbell's recent earnings results than sales growth has, according to John M. O'Neil, an analyst with Banker's Trust New York.
"(Campbell) continues to maintain a vigilant cost focus," O'Neil says.
As a result, analysts say Pace's local operations may be eyed by Campbell as a restructuring opportunity.
"If they're not getting a good rate of return on their investment, they've got to rethink certain things," Pinheiro says.
"Since they paid a lot of money and it (Pace) is struggling, the only way to justify it is if there's an opportunity for plant consolidation or head-count reduction," Pinheiro adds.
Campbell's McDonald says there is currently no downsizing going on at Pace's local operations.
Tim Ramey, an analyst with Deutsche Morgan Grenfell in New York, says Frito-Lay's rise was inevitable.
"I think Pace might have been a better opportunistic seller than anything else," Ramey says. "Frito was going to happen whether or not Campbell was involved."

Warm, heartfelt and creative ceremonies to reflect you and your perfect day.
Sharon was a professional, reliable and comforting celebrant. She took the time to get to know us and crafted a ceremony that accurately reflected our personalities.

While most eyes were on L.A. this weekend for the Critics' Choice and Golden Globe award, White House party crashers Tareq and Michaele Salahi were busy getting booed in Las Vegas.
Norm Clarke, who writes the Vegas Confidential column for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, says the two addressed a packed Pure nightclub at Caesars Palace about midnight, shortly after a low-key arrival.
Tareq Salahi told the crowd that he and his wife had waived the $5000 appearance fee when the "first boos were heard among cheers." The booing continued when he asked for a donation of $1 at the door for "the poor children" of Haiti.
Later, Tareq Salahi told Norm the couple is being unfairly vilified. "We're sick of it," he said. He said they did not crash the state dinner to land a spot on the reality TV show The Real Housewives of D.C. His wife, he said, was selected to be one of the housewives more than a year ago. He added, "We were invited to the White House and that will come out. There's a reason why the White House isn't pushing the story. There's your big story."
At the same event, Salahi told Politico that what really happened that night at the White House hasn't been reported. "Dig deeper," he said.
The two are scheduled to appear before a Homeland Security committee on Wednesday.

|Ship Quality
|the ship design seems a lot older than 2007\, it was a missed opportunity to add a lot more features. but it's a big ship and gets you where you're going. the two pools with sliding roofs are designed to be used in many climates.
|Food and Dining
|breakfast had poor quality control and the coffee was gross\, lunch was better but only pizza avail after 4 pm (when you're really hungry after a day in port)\, dinner was about equivalent to other cruiselines but no surprises other than a pasta course; drinks package for 19.50 euro a day makes everything more tolerable... includes coffee from the bar\, bottled water\, fresh juice\, draft beer (carlsberg)\, house wines (two choices: red or white)\, and most mixed drinks. only gripe is that they will not serve bar drinks at dinner\, only wine.
|Cabin / Stateroom
|nothing special. double bed had a very obvious gap in the middle\, no attempt to hide it. used duvet cover only\, not top sheet (probably could have asked for a top sheet\, but didn't bother).
|Service and Staff
|great staff. mostly from philippines on this cruise\, though i hear the staff changes frequently to suit the rules of where they're traveling. all the staff spoke italian and english\, and some also spoke french and spanish\, maybe german too. they seemed excited to see me (american) and always spoke to me in english (even if i spoke to them in basic italian).
|evening shows were better than average and appealed to a multilingual crowd. ventriloquist who spoke many languages was a lot of fun. nightclub was super fun one night\, pretty dead the other nights (but i was in bed by 1 am most nights). like most cruises mostly older crowd\, but enough young people to fill a dance floor.

Guggenheim China All-Cap ETF (YAO) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before the fund's fees and expenses, of the AlphaShares China All-Cap Index. YAO generally will invest in all of the securities comprising the index in proportion to their weightings in the index.
as of 3/31/17
as of 3/31/17
All data is provided by Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, Morningstar or Fact Set. Data is subject to change on a daily basis and represents a percentage of the Fund's holdings, excluding cash. The securities mentioned are provided for informational purposes only and should not be deemed as a recommendation to buy or sell.
The expense ratio is expressed as a unitary fee and covers all expenses of the Fund, except for the fee payments under the investment advisory agreement, distribution fees, if any, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.
The gross expense ratio reflects the fund's actual total annual operating expense ratio, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements as of its most recent prospectus.
1Shareholders may pay more than net asset value when they buy shares of an ETF and receive less than net asset value when they sell those shares, because shares are bought and sold at current market prices.
NAV is the price per share at which each Fund issues and redeems shares. The net asset value per share for each Fund is determined once daily as of the close of the listing exchange, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, each day the listing exchange is open for trading. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund's portfolio securities, cash and other assets (including accrued interest), less all liabilities (including accrued expenses), by the total number of shares outstanding.
In general, market price represents what the fund is trading at.
The closing price is the price of the last reported trade on any exchange on which the Fund trades before the market closes, usually at 4 pm Eastern time.
The bid/ask midpoint is the midpoint of the highest bid and lowest offer on the listing exchange at the time that the NAV is calculated, usually 4 pm Eastern time.
The premium/discount is the amount the Fund is trading higher ("premium") or lower ("discount") to its NAV, expressed as a percentage of its bid/ask midpoint to its NAV. A positive number indicates it's trading at premium and a negative number indicates it's trading at a discount.
The AlphaShares China All-Cap Index is designed to measure and monitor the performance of publicly issued common equity securities trading on a major exchange of publicly-traded mainland China-based companies that are open to foreign ownership.
P/E ratio is a harmonic weighted average and is equal to a security's market capitalization divided by it after-tax earnings over the most recent 12-month period.
P/B ratio is a harmonic weighted average and is equal to a security's market capitalization divided by its book value.
Alpha is a statistical measurement that depicts the performance difference between a fund's return and an underlying performance benchmark, given a fund's level of volatility, measured by beta. The benchmark will always reflect an alpha of 0.00%. A positive alpha indicates a fund has performed better than its beta would predict in the stated period.
Beta is the measure of a fund's sensitivity to an index. By definition, the beta of an index is 1.00. Any fund with a higher beta is more volatile than the index. Likewise, any portfolio with a lower beta will be less volatile than the index in the stated period.
Standard deviation is a measure of historical volatility that indicates the degree to which an investment's returns fluctuate around its average return. Generally, a higher standard deviation indicates a more risky investment.
Average market capitalization is the geometric mean of the market capitalization s for all securities in a fund's portfolio.
Weighted average coupon is calculated by weighting each bond's coupon by its relative size in the portfolio.
Weighted average bond price is a weighted average of individual bond prices.
Weighted average option-adjusted duration is a weighted average which measures the sensitivity of the price (the value of principal), incorporating the expected duration-shortening effect of an embedded call provision, of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates. The larger the duration number, the greater the interest-rate risk for bond prices.
Average maturity is the length of time until the principal amount of a bond must be repaid.
Average effective duration measures the sensitivity of the price (value of principal) of a fixed income investment to a change in interest rates. The larger the duration number, the greater the interest rate risk for bond prices.
The extent the Current Distribution is comprised of something other than Income, such as Return of Capital, please refer to the applicable Rule 19a-1 Notice found on the Fund's website under the Literature section. If the Current Distribution is comprised solely from Income, a Rule 19a-1 Notice will not be produced and posted.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
The Index was created by AlphaShares and the Index methodology is published at www.alphashares.com. The Index is designed to measure and monitor the performance of publicly issued common equity securities of publicly-traded companies based in mainland China. Proprietary and third-party financial and economic information and research are utilized to: (1) identify potential Index constituents and verify that such companies are based in mainland China; and (2) calculate the number of shares of each potential Index constituent outstanding, adjusted for free-float, for usage in the modified float-adjusted market capitalization weighting methodology. To ensure adequate liquidity, constituents must have a float-adjusted market capitalization of $500 million or greater for initial inclusion in the Index. A float-adjusted market capitalization of $400 million or greater is required for ongoing inclusion in the Index. The Index is rebalanced and reconstituted annually. The AlphaShares Index Committee will meet annually in October to review the Index methodology. Any changes to the methodology will be publicly disclosed on www.alphashares.com at least 10 business days prior to implementation of the change.
Index construction is the responsibility of the Index Provider. Securities that meet the following criteria will be included in the Index:
Investors should consider the following risk factors and special considerations associated with investing in the Fund, which may cause you to lose money.
Investment Risk. An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.
Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of the equity securities held by the Fund will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities held by the Fund participate, or factors relating to specific companies in which the Fund invests. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of equity securities of an issuer held by the Fund; the price of common stock of an issuer may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the common stocks and other equity securities held by the Fund. In addition, common stock of an issuer in the Fund's portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition. Common stock is subordinated to preferred stocks, bonds and other debt instruments in a company's capital structure, in terms of priority to corporate income, and therefore will be subject to greater dividend risk than preferred stocks or debt instruments of such issuers. In addition, while broad market measures of common stocks have historically generated higher average returns than fixed income securities, common stocks have also experienced significantly more volatility in those returns.
Foreign Investment Risk. The Fund's investments in non-U.S. issuers may involve unique risks compared to investing in securities of U.S. issuers, including, among others, greater market volatility than U.S. securities and less complete financial information than for U.S. issuers. In addition, adverse political, economic or social developments could undermine the value of the Fund's investments or prevent the Fund from realizing the full value of its investments. Financial reporting standards for companies based in foreign markets differ from those in the United States. Finally, the value of the currency of the country in which the Fund has invested could decline relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect the value of the investment to U.S. investors. The Fund will not enter into transactions to hedge against declines in the value of the Fund's assets that are denominated in a foreign currency. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts, or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities. Issuers of unsponsored depositary receipts are not contractually obligated to disclose material information in the U.S. and, therefore, such information may not correlate to the market value of the unsponsored depositary receipt.
Emerging market countries are countries that major international financial institutions, such as the World Bank, generally consider to be less economically mature than developed nations. Emerging market countries can include every nation in the world except the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and most countries located in Western Europe. Investing in foreign countries, particularly emerging market countries, entails the risk that news and events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. Countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets. The economies of emerging markets countries also may be based on only a few industries, making them more vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions and more sensitive to debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.
China Investment Risk. Investing in securities of Chinese companies involves additional risks, including, but not limited to: the economy of China differs, often unfavorably, from the U.S. economy in such respects as structure, general development, government involvement, wealth distribution, rate of inflation, growth rate, allocation of resources and capital reinvestment, among others; the central government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through administrative regulation and/or state ownership; and actions of the Chinese central and local government authorities continue to have a substantial effect on economic conditions in China. In addition, previously the Chinese government has from time to time taken actions that influence the prices at which certain goods may be sold, encourage companies to invest or concentrate in particular industries, induce mergers between companies in certain industries and induce private companies to publicly offer their securities to increase or continue the rate of economic growth, control the rate of inflation or otherwise regulate economic expansion. It may do so in the future as well, potentially having a significant adverse effect on economic conditions in China, the economic prospects for, and the market prices and liquidity of, the securities of China companies and the payments of dividends and interest by China companies.
From time to time, certain of the companies comprising the Index that are located in China may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in countries identified by the U.S. government as state sponsors of terrorism. One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under U.S. law or regulations which could negatively affect the company's performance, and/or could suffer damage to its reputation if it is identified as a company which invests or deals with countries which are identified by the U.S. government as state sponsors of terrorism or subject to sanctions. As an investor in such companies, the Fund is indirectly subject to those risks.
Limited Exposure Risk. China A-Shares and China B-Shares are not eligible for inclusion in the Index, even if they would otherwise qualify under the other criteria set forth under "Index Construction." China A-Shares are subject to substantial restrictions on foreign investment, while the China B-Share market generally is smaller and offers less liquidity than the categories of securities which may be included in the Index. However, by excluding such shares from the Index, the exposure provided by the Index (and thus the Fund) to the Chinese presence in the sector may be more limited than would be the case if the Index included China A-Shares or China B-Shares.
Small and Medium-Size Company Risk. Investing in securities of small and medium-sized companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in more established companies. These companies' securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall stock market.
Micro-Cap Company Risk. Micro-cap stocks involve substantially greater risks of loss and price fluctuations because their earnings and revenues tend to be less predictable (and some companies may be experiencing significant losses), and their share prices tend to be more volatile and their markets less liquid than companies with larger market capitalizations. Micro-cap companies may be newly formed or in the early stages of development, with limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may lack management depth. In addition, there may be less public information available about these companies. The shares of micro-cap companies tend to trade less frequently than those of larger, more established companies, which can adversely affect the pricing of these securities and the future ability to sell these securities. Also, it may take a long time before the Fund realizes a gain, if any, on an investment in a micro-cap company.
Non-Correlation Risk. The Fund's return may not match the return of the Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund's securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Index.
The Fund may not be fully invested at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Fund or reserves of cash held by the Fund to meet redemptions and expenses. If the Fund utilizes a sampling approach or otherwise holds investments other than those which comprise the Index, its return may not correlate as well with the return on the Index, as would be the case if it purchased all of the securities in the Index with the same weightings as the Index.
Concentration Risk. If the Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries the Fund's investments will be concentrated accordingly. In such event, the value of the Fund's Shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests in securities of companies in a broader range of industries.
Passive Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund is not "actively" managed. Therefore, it would not necessarily sell a security because the security's issuer was in financial trouble unless that security is removed from the Index.
Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
Non-Diversified Fund Risk. The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. Even though no single security weight may exceed 5.0% of the Index at the time of each annual rebalance, changes in the market value of the Index's constituent securities may result in the Fund being invested in the securities of individual issuers (and making additional such investments in the case of creations of additional Creation Units) in greater proportions. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a diversified fund.
The Fund's Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund has not been guaranteed, sponsored, recommended, or approved by the United States, or any agency, instrumentality or officer of the United States, has not been insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and is not guaranteed by and is not otherwise an obligation of any bank or insured depository institution.
As with any investment, you should consider how your investment will be taxed. The tax information contained in the prospectus is provided as general information. Investors should consult their own tax professional about the tax consequences of an investment as Guggenheim Funds Distributors, LLC, does not offer tax advice.
The Fund will issue and redeem Shares at NAV only in a large specified number of Shares called a "Creation Unit" or multiples thereof. A Creation Unit consists of 100,000 Shares. The Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units principally in-kind. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Individual Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. ("NYSE Arca") and because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than or less than NAV.
Investors buying or selling ETF shares on the secondary market may incur brokerage costs and other transactional fees. Shares of ETFs may fluctuate in price due to daily changes in trading volume. At times, shares may not have a high volume of trading.
The Fund and its Shares are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by AlphaShares, Inc. ("Licensor") and its affiliates. Licensor makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, to the shareholders of the Fund or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in securities generally or in the Fund particularly or the ability of the Index to track general stock market performance. The Licensor's only relationship to Guggenheim Funds Investment Advisors, LLC ("Licensee") is the licensing of certain trademarks and trade names of AlphaShares and of the Index, which is determined, composed and calculated by Licensor without regard to Licensee or the Fund. Licensor has no obligation to take the needs of the Licensee or the shareholders of the Fund into consideration in determining, composing or calculating the Index. Licensor shall not be liable to any person for any error in the Index nor shall it be under any obligation to advise any person of any error therein.

Longtime Oakland Raiders defender Jack Tatum has died. His former teammate at Ohio State, John Hicks, confirmed the death to WBNS-TV in Ohio.
Tatum was 61. He died of a heart attack.
Tatum was a three-time Pro Bowler in nine season with the Raiders from 1971-1979. He finished his career with one season with the Houston Oilers.
The NFL Network ranked him as the sixth-most feared defender in league history in a panel last summer. His hit on Darryl Stingley in 1978 left the Patriots wideout paralyzed.
Tatum later wrote a book titled "They Call Me Assassin."
The Raiders released a statement mourning Tatum's passing. It read:
"We are deeply saddened by the news of Jack Tatum's passing. Jack was a true Raider champion and a true Raider warrior."
Tatum suffered from diabetes and had five toes amputated from his left foot. He was a product of Ohio State, whose coach, Jim Tressel, released this statement about his passing:
"We have lost one of our greatest Buckeyes. When you think of Ohio State defense, the first name that comes to mind is Jack Tatum. His loss touches every era of Ohio State players and fans."
