Homeland of Poet Homer
Favorite thing: The Poet Homeros and the Meles River
Illiad and Odyssey
Although Homer never mentioned the city in his legends, all through ancient time, Smyrna, like any other city during that time, claimed Homer's citizenship to the city and built an altar, and respected him to the point of worship. The arguments Smyrnians put forward on the subject of where Homer was born are far more realistic than the claims put forward by other cities.
Connection with Smyrna seems to be alluded to in a legend that his original name was "Melesigenes" ("born of Meles", a river which flowed by that city), and of the nymph Kretheis.
The Meles River running through Smyrna is often mentioned both in myths about the establishment of Izmir and the myths about Homer. There are illustrations of the Meles River, in a human form, worshipped as a river goddess to be seen on some Imperial period coins. A translation of a poem found in Bornova on an inscription and then brought to Halkapinar is as follows.
"I say my prayers to Meles (Goddess of River) who is my saviour and who has protected me from dangers and epidemics".
We don't know exactly which among the rivers those run into the sea in Bayrakli and Kadifekale is the ancient Meles. As the descriptions of Aristides and some other antique authors, "Many springs outside the city flowed into this river and took the shape of a circle. This river outside the city gates was so small that one could hardly see it at first glance. It ran into the sea at this point. The river was full of fish. It ran regularly all through winter and summer.
It was possible to travel by boat up to its spring. "Near the river's spring, there were various other water springs and a cave." As it can be seen there is no river near Ýzmir that satisfies these criteria. According to scientists, the Kemer/Uzundere brook or the Halkapýnar can be two rivers that could be identified with the Meles River.
Smyrna and Homer
Favorite thing: Smyrna was built on the slopes of Pagos (present-day Kadifekale). Its remains are located within the urban zone of Izmir. Old Smyrna was located on a small peninsula connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus at the northeastern corner of the inner Gulf of Izmir
Homer is said to have been born in Smyrna. A common and consistent tradition connects Homer with the valley of Smyrna and the banks of the Meles River.

Izmir general background
Favorite thing: Izmir also has its Greek name Smyrna. Izmir is almost 3,500 years old. It has more than 3 million people and is Turkey's third most populous city.
Izmir was nearly destroyed by fire in September 1922. Izmir was badly damaged by earthquakes in 1928 and again in 1939.
So it has quite a modern view now without many ancient or medieval sights. May be that's why tourist groups (like ours) usually make a short stop there before visiting other sites at the Aegean coast of Turkey.
You can watch my 4 min 07 sec Video clip Izmir Konak with Turkish pop music by Kenan Dogulu – Demedi Deme.
Fondest memory: You may watch my high resolution photo of Izmir on the Google Earth according to the following coordinates 38° 25' 0.10" N 27° 7' 31.96" E or on my Google Earth Panoramio Izmir .
after the war...
Favorite thing: It's almost impossible to see how Izmir looked like before the Greek-Turkish war. As an international port and trade center Izmir had always many people from other countries. The fire that broke out on 13 september 1922 is one of the big disasters of Izmir and destroyed a major part of the city. The city rebuilt after the proclamation of the Turkish Republic in 1923 but it was a completely different city because a city isn't only the buildings but basically the people that live into.
Both countries have their point of view for that period and one accusing the other of committing atrocities but you've got to consider the lack of comprehensive and reliable sources from that period to be sure. After long conversions with Turkish people we have seen that both countries have more common things to share than the politicians like. That's why after several trips in Turkey I have made some real good friends there. One of my favorite greek books is "Farewell Anatolia" written by Dido Sotiriou. It is a fine example of the era that both communities were living together till they "forced" to hate each other.
In the pictures you can see the greek and the german embassies in building that must be much older than the new ones next to them.
- Historical Travel
not only a statue
Favorite thing: The statue of Kemal Ataturk is everywhere in Turkey but this one is very important for the people of Izmir. After the defeat of the ottoman empire in world war 1 the winners took back regions that Ottomans had before. Greece took some of the western regions of Turkey with the Treaty of Sevres.
On 1919 (15 of May) the greek army occupied Izmir but then the decision to go further inside Anatolia turned into a disaster for them. The end of the Greek-Turkey war at 1922 found Greece loose all regions there but the most important many local Greeks of turkey died or forced to seek refuge in Greece. Kemal Ataturk took back Izmir on 9 september 1922 and of course the local people of Izmir still celebrate about it(it's the biggest celebration day in Turkey).
In 1923 after the proclamation of the Turkish Republic, because of Lausanne treaty the exchange of greek and Turkish populations took place and many people forced to leave their homes in both countries. The same old story, no one really cares about the people…
I would reccomend you spend your time elsewhere
Favorite thing: We went to Izmir thinking it would be a good base to explore nearby Ephesus and the rest of the region. That was a mistake. It is just a big city with no real local charm. It is extremely difficult to get around without knowing Turkish or taking taxis which will rip you off. I would recommend you stay at a surrounding town like Selcuk rather then visiting Izmir.
Roman Agora
Favorite thing: Another important sight is the Roman agora, constructed during one of the most brilliant periods of the province. The seven churches mentioned by St. John in the Book of Revelation are also in Turkey and are spread around Izmir, which are Izmir (Smyrna), Efes (Ephesus), Eskihisar (Laodlkia), Alasehir (Philadelphia), Sart (Sardis), Akhisar (Thyatira and Bergama (Pergamum).
Fondest memory: East Propylon, the east entrance to the Roman Agora had a row of four Ionic columns made of gray Hymettian marble. It was built in 19-11 B.C.
- Family Travel
Favorite thing: Karþýyaka is another attractive district on the opposite side of the bay, where the Olaf Palme Park exists near the open-air museum, which houses many interesting statues.
Fondest memory: Open-air museum and interesting houses

Fondest memory: It has not yet been possible to state with certainly the derivation of the name
Some researchers say that the name derived from Apasas a city of Ahhiyava. Other researchers maintain that the name derived either from the word meaning bee or the city was founded by the female Warriors, the Amazons. Another story is that Androcles, son of Codros, King of Athens, founded Ephesus. Ephesus was attacked by the Cimmerians in the 7th century BC got back on to its
feet again soon afterwards. The 6th century BC brought a prosperous period of
Ephesus. Later, Ephesus came under the rule of the Lydians and then under the
Persians. In 334 BC, Alexander brought dark days to Ephesus, which was ruled in
287 BC by Lysimachos. Most of the works of art seen today came into being during
period. Later on Ephesus came under the sovereignty of Rome, and Emperor Augustus declared Ephesus a metropolis. In the year 262 AD Ephesus was attacked and destroyed by the Goths and after this, it never regained its previous importance.
Konak Pier
Favorite thing: There was great counterversies during the construction of this shopping place.. The old fisherman stores has been restorated and becama a big shopping mall..
However it took a long time for it to start to operate.. Now Konak pier is serving its customers with deluxe shops, a fine food court and a big movie theater..
Just near the Konak square
Favorite thing: This little fountaint area has been the same for the last for the last two centuries. There is numerous shops here that sell touristic and local products, therefore the district is historic, touristicly appealing while retaining its local cultural flavor. There is two sinagogues in this area and one mosque.
Kordon.. Promenade of Izmir..
Favorite thing: The long attractive palm-fringed promenade, Birinci Kordon (First Kordon), which stretches the entire length of the city up to the Alsancak Ferry Terminal, is a popular spot for evening walks, and there are many cafes along the waterfront.
If you want to talk about izmir, you should know Kordon.. The main vane carrying all the blood of the city.. the wonderful promenade, with walking paths, nice cafes and .... You should see Kordon..
Note: The promenade in the water front is called the First Kordon, and the street which is paralel to it behind the buildings is called the second kordon.
Old Karsiyaka Houses.
Favorite thing: Karsiyaka was the place where old summer houses were located.. it was quiet and decent and was a kind of hide away from the city life.. When you walk along the Karsiyaka promenade you can spot some awesome houses.. And you will be delighted to see them..
Karsiyaka By night
Favorite thing: When the weather get darks, busy streeets of Karsiyaka gets quiet and you see a much nicer Karsiyaka..
Besides the main street Karsiyaka has very nice houses along the promenade.. And I love the view over there..
Karsiyaka.. The Otherside..
Favorite thing: Karsiyaka reminds me of Bakirkoy district in Istanbul.. I could choose a better picture to reflect Karsiyakas beauty, but this is how I remember Karsiyaka..
When you get out from the ferry just cross the street and now you are here.. In the middle of Karsiyaka.. This busy pedestrian street always crowded, day and night.. From here you can go side places of Karsiyaka, From here you can lead to shops, From here you can lead to eataways.. And many more places.. And this is Karsiyaka how I remember..

I've been experiencing blockage in my right nostril for the past 2 months. It started with fever, coughing, and blocked nose about 2 months ago. The fever and coughing has gone, however the nasal blockage remains. I've had this problem 1 time before, but it lasted just a few days. The left nostril also gets partially blocked at times, which makes breathing very difficult.
Occasionally both the nostrils get cleared on their own, but it gets blocked again during the night. I've used Otrivin - Xylometazoline Hydrochloride Nasal Drops IP (1:1000) on many days, which completely clears the nostrils and gives me relief for the rest of the day. I'd consulted a doctor who prescribed some medicines, but they haven't done anything. The Otrivin nasal drops are the only thing that's worked until now. I don't want to use them continuously as they're said to cause further blockage.
Please suggest some cure for this problem. I'm having difficulty breathing normally.

I downloaded software version 3.2 to enable 3D disk viewing on my Sony Google TV box NSZ-GT1, but DirecTV only recognizes it as 3D compatible for the Directv3D channels when I connect the NSZ-GT1 directly to my Yamaha Aventage 3D ready receiver, and then on a separate HDMI cable, connect my DirecTV HR24-200 receiver to the Yamaha receiver (and then of course all to my Panasonic 3DTV).
When I connect it the way Sony recommends (Sony NSZ-GT1 OUT to Yamaha receiver IN and DirecTV HR24-200 OUT to Sony NSZ-GT1 IN and then Yamaha receiver OUT to the TV) the DirecTV screen message says I am not 3D compatible.
It appears that when the NSZ-GT1 is in the "chain" DirecTV does not recognize this as a 3D device. I went to the Sony unit and activated 3D through Settings, Picture, 3D to make sure the Sony was set to 3D, but still no luck.
Any ideas??

Monkey Beach (2000)
by Eden Robinson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
"Weegit the raven has mellowed in his old age. He's still a confirmed bachelor, but he's not the womanizer he once was. Plying the stock market - instead of spending his time being a trickster - has paid off and he has a comfortable condo downtown. He plays up the angle about creating the world and humans, conveniently forgetting that he did it out of boredom. Yes, he admits, he did steal the sun and the moon, but he insists he did it to bring light to humankind even though he did it so it would be easier for him to find food. After some spin control on the crazy pranks of his youth, he's become respectable."
Now this was a realistic coming of age novel with a twist. What a ride!
The story is set in Kitamaat, north of Vancouver, and follows young Lisamarie growing up in the Haisla community. Lisamarie is different - she's pretty tough, taking no nonsense from anyone, but she also has a very sensitive side which allows her to fully experience the beliefs of her people - from the close ties with the natural surroundings to the manifestations of the supernatural.
It is difficult to describe this book. It's a mystery really. It is not a book about the supernatural as such, but Robinson does spin this web that links myth and reality and that makes it very easy to suspend disbelief and slide from one world of facts into the world of folklore.
Absolutely loved it!
Originally posted at http://olduvaireads.wordpress.com/2014/09/16/diversiverse-and-rip-ix-read-monkey...
"I want to stay here on Monkey Beach. Some places are full of power, you can feel it, like a warmth, a tingle. No sasquatches are wandering around the beach today, chased by ambitious, camera-happy boys. Just an otter lounging in the kelp bobbing in the surf and the things in the trees, which may or may not be my imagination."
Jimmy Hill is lost at sea, the fishing boat he was on has lost contact and things are not looking good. Lisamarie, his older sister, waits for information as the search and rescue operation begins. And she begins to reflect on her life in Kitamaat, in this small Haisla Canadian Indian community that she's grown up in with her family, relatives, friends, sasquatches and ghosts. The narrative moves from present to past and back again, as Lisa chalks up her own (ship)wrecked life. One of alcohol and drugs, of bullies and gangs at school, of tragedies and lost loved ones. And always, forever present, the spirits, the ghosts, the premonitions that surround her, are a part of her life, make her who she is.
It just so happened that Open Road sent me an email offering an e-book version of Monkey Beach for review. I don't receive many of these types of emails so I'll just chalk it up to fate! I was meant to read this book and write about it for Diversiverse!
Because what a book it is. And so deserving of being read by more people, whether for Diversiverse or RIP or otherwise.
Monkey Beach was, for me, one of the more, well, diverse reads in these past few weeks of Diversiverse reading.
The Haisla culture, the life in this village north of Vancouver. It's myths and customs, food and traditions. All completely new to me.
Then there's that very stark difference between my current suburban American life and my Singaporean childhood, teenhood and adulthood (very urban, very populated, fast-paced, where even in the middle of the night there is noise from somewhere. Singapore is far from quiet) and life in Kitamaat, where boat trips are common, where her family goes camping or fishing or foraging in the woods for berries.
"Oolichan grease is a delicacy that you have to grow up eating to love. Silvery, slender oolichans are about as long as your hand and a little thicker than your thumb. They are part of the smelt family and are one of the tastiest fish on the planet. Cooking oolichans can be as simple as broiling them in the oven until they're singed— which is heavenly but very smelly, and hard on your ears if you have a noisy smoke alarm— or as touchy and complicated as rendering oil from them to make a concoction called grease. Oolichans can also be dried, smoked, sun-dried, salted, boiled, canned, frozen, but they are tastiest fresh. The best way to eat fresh oolichans is to run them through with a stick and roast them over an open fire like wieners, then eat them while they're sizzling hot and dripping down your fingers."
"I loved going to Monkey Beach, because you couldn't take a step without crushing seashells, the crunch of your steps loud and satisfying. The water was so pure that you could see straight down to the bottom. You could watch crabs skittering sideways over discarded clam and cockleshells, and shiners flicking back and forth. Kelp the colour of brown beer bottles rose from the bottom, tall and thin with bulbs on top, each bulb with long strands growing out of it, as flat as noodles, waving in the tide."
Lisa's relationship with her family is also a big part of the book. Her beloved Uncle Mick, a Native rights activist, the kind of uncle who lets out a moose call to attract their attention at a party. Her cantankerous and rather hilarious grandmother Ma-ma-oo who teaches her about Haisla ways, whose thrifty ways meant her curtains were so threadbare, her TV picked up CB signals, but her fishing nets were always immaculate.
It is also a story that speaks of a love for place and culture, as Robinson has set it in the village of Kitamaat where she was born. And while remote, this little community cannot ignore the encroachment of the rest of the world and its influences.
"The tide rocks the kelp beds, the long dark leaves trail gently in the cloudy green water. I hear squeaking and chirping. Dark bodies twirl in the water, pause, still for a moment as I'm examined. I dip my hands in the water and the sea otters dart away, then back, timid as fish. Well, I'm here, I think. At Monkey Beach."
And with its restless spirits, its ghostly premonitions, the visions of Sasquatches, Lisa's life hovers between two worlds.
"I heard something crunching on the hardened snow. In the distance, I could hear whistles. Something was coming towards me. I kept watching the sky. No one's here, I told myself. I'm not letting my imagination get away from me. I am alone, and I don't see anything but the auroras, low on the horzion, undulating to their own music."
Monkey Beach is that gem of a book that sweeps you off your comfy reading chair and into the embrace of a different place altogether – the salty sea breeze caresses your hair and the greasy scent of oolichans sizzling on the campfire lures you in. And all the time, those restless spirits murmur and whisper.
I could not resist the narrative voice of this earthy, augury filled, family rich story set in the First Nations Haisla community of western Canada. Nineteen year old Lisamarie is generally fearless and never takes guff from anyone--she'll launch herself at a gang of bullies without hesitation and her uncle affectionately calls her monster--but the nighttime visits she receives from a small, wild, red haired man terrify her because they always precede a death or tragedy. It's a visionary "gift" she discovers runs in her family, though no one talks much about anymore so she's mostly on her own with it.
When her younger brother Jimmy is lost at sea Lisamarie embarks on a solo speedboat trip up the Pacific coast driven by guilt, fear and grief, determined to find him or his body. Her vivid memories and visions along the way take the story all the way back to her early childhood and into the land of the dead.
The ending? It's somewhat hallucinatory, not something I could confidently articulate, but I was swept along anyway. With writing that's beautiful and raw, this book is a colorful, sometimes dizzying odyssey, filled with ghosts, poverty, kinship ties, Haisla culture, Sasquatch monkey men, and the grit and wonder of the natural world.
The book was a slow moving, coming of age book, but it was a good, slow moving book. I enjoyed the fact the author took the time to explore Lisa's past and how it affected her to be the person she was.
The spiritual/magical realism side of things was an interesting touch. I would have like to understand it more and I wish it was explored more. The author tied into the story wonderfully and it complimented the story, particularly Lisa's development nicely, I just wanted more on it. Especially considering it was such an important part of who Lisa was and how it connected her to the other characters.
I loved the writing, it pulled me in and flowed wonderfully throughout the book. One of my main draws into the story, was the writing alone. There were times, where I didn't enjoy the plot as much, a few bits of Lisa's past that I felt I had to push through, but the writing, made it worth it.
I can't say I liked or disliked the characters. All were well written, well developed. They all had their demons, secrets and overall, I found them all to compliment and come together well. Yet, I don't think I can say they was a character that stood out, and I don't feel they stuck with me.
The ending was well done, it was ambiguous and left a lot open - but a lot of the book was like that, there were a few things I questioned in this book, that were hinted at, but nothing ever was laid out in the open if it was true or not. But, despite this, I think it was a fitting ending, and despite not knowing all the answers, I think it was the best part of the book - for once I liked the unknown for the ending.
Good read overall.
Also found on my book review blog Jules' Book Reviews - Monkey Beach
there was much about this novel that was appealing, particularly the aspects of native culture, and the settings. lisa's relationship with ma-ma-oo was my favourite piece of the book, and the knowledge lisa gained from her grandmother was so interesting to me. robinson deals with some very difficult themes within native culture. given the current unacceptable and heartbreaking situation in canada concerning the murdered and missing indigenous women, this is a very timely read.
unfortunately, there's a 'but' coming... but i just didn't feel like this book pulled everything it was trying to do together well enough. some of the characters were very thinly developed and some situations seemed without purpose. by the end of the book, i just felt disappointed, as though the book didn't quite reach the potential.
i do think this is an important book for the canadian canon, and there were definitely parts i thought were quite strong. i just didn't feel the overall quality of the writing was mind-blowing, and it was inconsistent. i am sorry! i really wanted to love the book.
(as an aside -- i am wondering how my reading impacted my feelings of the novel? i read this as part of a group read, and stuck to the reading schedule, which is hard for me to do. normally i would read a book of this length in a couple of days. in keeping to the group read, i read it over 3 weeks. i do feel my experience with the book may have been stronger if i had not drawn it out so long, with long pauses between reading session.)

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0618219056, Paperback)Lisamarie Hill, the protagonist of Eden Robinson's coming-of-age novel Monkey Beach, is a terror. She'll run out of an evacuating car to get a better view of a tidal wave. She'll drag you unconscious to a deserted island with nothing but cigarettes, marshmallows, and the need to get you talking. Whatever her age, she'll ask awkward questions.
Set in the coastal Haisla village of Kitamaat near British Columbia's dauntingly gorgeous Queen Charlotte Islands, Monkey Beach is the story of Lisa and her Haisla community, including uncles involved in First Nations warrior movements, industrious grandmothers with one foot in the grave and the other in various spirit worlds, and the long-armed specter of residential schools. The path to adulthood (and you risk a bloody nose if you call Lisa an adult) for Lisa and her friends is beset by the dangers of substance abuse and family violence but sprinkled with hopes as varied as Olympic gold or, sadly, a "really great truck."
Monkey Beach succeeds as a novel of voice. Narrator and hero Lisa is whip-smart and ever cracking-wise: "The sky, one sheet of pissing greyness, stretches low across the horizon." Plot, however, doesn't come off so naturally. The Big Horrible Event at the story's end seems produced by page count alone, not by character. Voice and character do carry the novel, but the plot feels microwaved where it should be slow-roasted. --Darryl Whetter

How to assemble a Movement
The diagram above shows the order for assembling our movements.
The 'Dial" refers to your actual clock (such as a record, dinner plate of a piece or wood - whatever you are making your clock out of).
The rubber washer behind the dial is optional. Without it you can save about 1.5mm of room for your dial. However it does create a nice grip between the movement and the dial, so we do recommend you use it if possible.
Please note our hour and minute hands have a plastic protective slip on them, so you will want to peal that off before adding the hands to the movement.
When pressing the hands on you should install them at 12:00 position and apply firm pressure to the left and right (to avoid bending the hands). They are tight, so be sure to press firmly.
If you have any questions about the assembly of your movement please feel free to contact us.

There has been lots of talk about the Chiefs and a possible trade of Tony Gonzalez. I have said before that maybe we owe it to Gonzalez to play for a contender, but as it possibly gets closer to actually happening, I am developing a pain in my stomach.
I would understand it if Tony G wanted to play somewhere he has a chance at the Super Bowl, but I would absolutely HATE to see him in another uniform.
Here is some of the "news" that is being reported about the possible Tony Gonzalez trade from around the net:
Jay Glazer has this to say about the Tony Gonzalez trade:
- If they can find a trade that would work for all parties, it would actually be quite honorable for a team executive to not hold a player hostage in his final years on a rebuilding team. Get something for him to assist with the rebuilding process. He'll forever be loved in KC regardless.
The Giants are the perfect fit as they'd provide Eli Manning with one of the most reliable targets in the league. Between Gonzalez and Plaxico Burress, their red-zone threat would be downright scary. The Giants should take the second and fifth-round picks they got for Jeremy Shockey's trade and offer them to the Chiefs for Gonzalez. Shockey for Gonzo? Who doesn't do that?
If I were the Giants, and Chiefs offered me Gonzalez for the same second and fifth-round picks that they got for Shockey, I would take that in a heartbeat. Gonzalez, although older, is a MUCH better (more complete and injury free) TE. IF the Chiefs make this trade I would hope they would get more than that for him. Don't get a Shockey for giving a Gonzalez (future HOF'er and best TE EVER).
Pro Football Talk: Tony Gonzalez traded to Giants?
- A reader tells us that KSHB in Kansas City is reporting that Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez has requested a trade, and that one of the teams in the running is the New York Gootball Fiants. (It's an inside joke that you'll understand only if you check the site every day, multiple times per day.)
Though we haven't confirmed that KSHB is reporting this information, we've learned separately that, indeed, an effort is afoot to move Gonzalez out of Kansas City.
So who knows what or if any of these rumors are valid, but you never know. Tony G say that, since it could take a few years that maybe the Chiefs should see what they could get for him and ship him off.
The trade deadline is Oct. 14 at 4:00 PM EDT. We should all know something by then.

With the increasing popularity of ETFs, it may serve to stray from the plain vanilla ETFs and explore some of the more exotic ones. One such exotic ETF is the Guggenheim Spin-Off ETF (NYSEARCA:CSD). This ETF is designed to track a third party index called the Beacon Spin-Off Index, which is comprised of a maximum 40 stocks that have been spun-off within the past 30 months, but no more recently than the last 6 months. This index defines a spun-off company as one that either underwent an equity distribution of a subsidiary company to its parent company shareholders, or underwent an equity "carve-out," in which the parent company sells a portion of its subsidiary's equity to public shareholders. Beacon then selects from this universe of spun-off companies through its proprietary methodology and adjusts the index semi-annually. Currently, the index has 26 holdings, mainly small and mid-cap companies, with the heaviest weightings in the Energy, Industrials, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. The Guggenheim ETF tracks this index through low-cost passive investing and subsequently has a minimal net expense ratio of 0.65%.
Now besides the intrigue into this ETF given the mere concept behind this investment vehicle, the ETF also tells a compelling story of a remarkable history of outperformance. CSD handily beat the market each of the past 4 years and is up a staggering 170.9% vs. 61.3% for the S&P since the start of 2009. Last year, CSD was up 24.5% while the S&P was up 11.7%. So far it is lagging the S&P by 1% this year, but I don't see that holding up for long given CSD's history.
And spun-off companies' history of outperformance is validated through more than just this ETF. Credit Suisse ran a good piece of research back in 2008 that analyzed major U.S. spin-offs in the last 5 years, 39 in total, and how they performed. The results were that the median spin-off performance in year one beat the market by 22%, as 70% of spun-off companies outpaced the market. Lehman Brothers also conducted a study of 88 spin-offs between 2000-2005 and found that they beat the S&P 500 by an average of 45% in their first two years of trading.
So why has this ETF and spin-offs in general steadily beat the S&P each and every year? Spin-offs are known to "unlock value," and turn the subsidiary company into more of a pure play, rather than being part of a larger business with wide-ranging goals. The spun-off company typically is now better able to focus on its core market segment, while management is given greater accountability with the new stand-alone public company than before as part of the larger enterprise.
Lets take a look at CSD's biggest position as a possible example of this. Its current largest holding is Fiesta Restaurant Group (NASDAQ:FRGI), which was spun-off from Carrols Restaurant Group Inc. (NASDAQ:TAST) back on May 7, 2012. Carrols owns and operates quick-casual and quick-service restaurants, specifically 297 Burger Kings as of April 1, 2012, making it the largest Burger King franchisee in the U.S. Before the spin-off, Carrols also owned Pollo Tropical and Taco Cabana, two fast-casual ethnic restaurants located throughout the southern United States, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. The spin-off separated the Pollo Tropical and Taco Cabana chains into the new Fiesta Restaurant Group company. This spin-off provides an example where it probably made more sense to break the company into two, as different parts of the business had different profiles, with different customer bases, and different areas of operation and growth, etc. The new Fiesta Restaurant Group now has more of a concentrated focus and since has secured agreements to develop franchises in Guatemala, Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, and most importantly India. Who knows, maybe an expansion into India would not have been possible if it had not been for the spin-off.
In summation, while I am typically wary of trying to follow trends, this might be a case of something that is not too good to be true. I do not see any fundamental reason why spin-offs in the future would be less likely to outperform the market than spin-offs in the past, and therefore, I think CSD makes a good investment. A final note, Guggenheim has some other interesting ETF's I encourage you to look at, such as the Insider Sentiment ETF (NYSEARCA:NFO), which reflects favorable corporate insider buying trends, as determined via public filings of such corporate insiders as well as Wall Street estimate increases.

National Signing Day has grown in popularity in recent years to become the college football fan's version of the NFL draft.
It is the day when the official NCAA Letters of Intent are signed on the dotted line ending any and all speculation about where a particular high school student has decided to spend the next several years of his life.
Boston College Head Coach Frank Spaziani is coming off an 8-5 season that exceeded most expectations but still fell short of the Eagles' goal to enter the BCS Bowl mix, which has eluded them thus far in their history.
Even though the Eagles are a relatively young team, that returns a good amount of starters, BC needs to address some key areas, particularly defensive line and wide receiver.
The following slides will give you a breakdown of the newest Eagles that the fanbase will be cheering on starting next season.

Perfect balance between alcohol, savoury tannins and acidity. Long finish and beautiful elegance Brilliant ruby red, intense, fresh bouquet of dark berries. The palate shows cherries, hints of black pepper, sweet spices like vanilla and a final mild meaty flavour. There is a lovely integrated velvety, round palate with a full body.
Bright ruby red with a hint of garnet, this wine keeps changing each time you return to it, so give it time if you want to completely appreciate its potential beauty. Intense bouquet, meaty and gamy at first, it shows up fresh dark berries and bramble flavours as soon as you sip it. You'll find hints of black pepper, balsamic notes, and you'll finish with liquorice. Full body, powerful elegant tannins, high acidity, good balance with softness given by the alcohol; Long finish – You can really enjoy it now, but giving it longer aging would let it develop all its potentiality.
This classically styled Pinot Noir shows upfront raspberry and wild strawberry notes with complex, savoury spices such as clove and anise. Well-proportioned oak frames the background of dense, dark plums, briar and blackberry fruit. The palate is full and balanced with plenty of polished tannin and an excellent upright structure carrying a dense core of powerful fruit.
The growing season was rather cool with some rain. Harvest was at the end of March, and the wine is crisp and fresh with layers of complexity showing notes of white peach and nectarine as a result. One is reminded once again why Chardonnay from a site with moderate climate can express such exquisite subtleties of flavour and texture.
The Pinot Grigio vineyard adjoins the Chardonnay, where the red soil is moderately fertile and well drained resulting in good acidity. There are subtle subdued, well balanced flavours and good length…the perfect match for delicately flavoured foods.

Before the game begins, politicians, athletes, celebrities and occasionally fans are given the opportunity to throw out the first pitch.
There are obviously nerves for each of these people, as they have to throw the pitch in front of as many as 50,000 people. It is just like having a 60' 6" game of catch, but that is not easy for everyone.
Some people manage to throw a strike to the catcher. Others, however, come nowhere close to delivering the ball to home plate.

22 illegal miners rescued
Free State police said officials managed to rescue 22 illegal miners trapped underground near Welkom.
CAPE TOWN – Free State police on Friday said they managed to rescue 22 illegal miners who were trapped in a Welkom mine.
On Thursday, 10 men appeared in court for trespassing, attempted theft and illegal immigration.
According to authorities, the other 12 men will appear in court at a later date.
The police's Stephen Thakeng said rescuers are now leaving the scene.
"The rescue officials inserted a camera about 630 metres down and nobody could be seen. It was then decided to call off the operation."
Meanwhile, 19 illegal miners were trapped in Kleinzee in the Northern Cape after a tunnel collapsed on Tuesday.
One miner was rescued and two bodies were recovered.
In Gauteng, two men were stranded at the Durban Deep mine shaft in Roodepoort after rock fall in the area.
Six others managed to escape.
In March, 20 illegal miners were trapped at the Gravelotte gold mine on Gauteng's East Rand.
The men were mining illegally when a rock fell and trapped them underground.
Rescue personnel called off the search after the operation was deemed dangerous.

Aerial Antics circus plans special 40th anniversary show in Vero Beach
A summer in Vero Beach wouldn't be the same without a trip to see flips and tricks under the big top.
On Thursday, the Vero Beach Recreation Department kicks off the 40th anniversary show of its Aerial Antics Youth Circus. "It's a tradition," Director Patty Howard said. "You can't get anything like it anywhere near here and I think that's why people enjoy it so much."
What: "Blast from the Past" by the Vero Beach Aerial Antics Circus program
When: 7 p.m., Aug. 7-9
Where: St. Edward's School, 1895 Saint Edward's Drive, Vero Beach
Tickets: $7 adults; $6 children and seniors
Information: 772-567-2144; www.covb.org
Since 1974, the youth circus has taught tumbling tricks and aerial acrobatics to local children. It's also been an entertainment staple, and this year's show, "Blast from the Past," mixes the program history into the thrills of the live performance.
"We wanted to do something special for the 40th year," said Howard, one of the original members of the youth circus.
The anniversary show will feature acts that were crowd favorites during the past decade as well as circus alumni. Former aerialist Amber Atwell didn't waste any time signing up.
The 23-year-old will be one of 200 acrobats set to perform in the program that will include everything from trapeze acts to floor stunts to hit songssuch as "Boot Scootin' Boogie," "Great Balls of Fire" and "Space Jam."
Atwell was in the youth circus for seven years before leaving for college in 2012. She was happy to come back, but might find it hard to leave the circus behind again.
"There's just something about doing something you love and performing it for people that makes you want to never stop," said Atwell.
