Prior to the financial crisis, Olstein, who founded Olstein Capital Management in 1995, had an impressive track record of profiting on stocks he bought during a time of turmoil. He purchased oil-related stocks at the height of the Asian crisis and bought property-and-casualty insurance companies after Sept. 11, 2001. Bank stocks seemed no different -- until Lehman Brothers. The Olstein All Cap Value Fund (OFALX) fell 43.8% in 2008. "I've been in the industry 44 years and have never, ever gotten clocked like this," Olstein recalls.
Financial stocks have been nothing short of career killers for some value managers. Many grossly underestimated the breadth and depth of their problems. But the sector has rallied this year, up 22%, and many managers are starting to take a closer look. Barron's talked with several widely respected value managers to see what they're finding.
ONE OF THEM, Wally Weitz, isn't finding much. "In a world where the Fed is printing money and you can get mortgages for 4%, it seems like their relative bargaining power will be depressed for a while, leading to a lower return on equity," says Weitz, who co-manages the Weitz Partners Value fund (WPVLX). Though he thinks the worst is over, he continues to mainly avoid the sector. One exception has been top holding Wells Fargo WFC 0.041407867494824016% Wells Fargo & Co. U.S.: NYSE USD48.32 0.02 0.041407867494824016% /Date(1469221216674-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 13423122 AFTER HOURS USD48.34 0.02 0.041390728476821195% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 165415 P/E Ratio 11.843137254901961 Market Cap 243943518459.32 Dividend Yield 3.1456953642384105% Rev. per Employee 352981 More quote details and news » (WFC), which Weitz held through much of the financial crisis, sold in 2009 then bought again last year. "Wells has been a comfortable place to hide for people who feel they want to, or have to, own banks," says Weitz. But at today's $35 per share, he says, "it's not exciting anymore."
Oakmark fund (OAKMX) co-manager Bill Nygren, however, sees a lot of opportunity in some of the big financial names. The fund's top holdings include Capital One COF -1.4119723488748346% Capital One Financial Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD67.03 -0.96 -1.4119723488748346% /Date(1469221292649-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 8595037 AFTER HOURS USD67.05 0.02 0.02983738624496494% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 37851 P/E Ratio 9.714492753623189 Market Cap 34325995279.4202 Dividend Yield 2.3869908995971953% Rev. per Employee 564119 More quote details and news » (COF), JPMorgan Chase JPM 0.5495368189668708% JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Nygren has been increasing his allotment to financial stocks over the past year and counts them as the most interesting sector in the market now. "You don't have to believe they're wonderful businesses to believe they're wonderful investments," says Nygren.
That said, Nygren has raised the bar on how he values bank stocks and says he does think that fundamentals have improved. "The lending standards before [the crisis] versus now are like night and day," he says. "And the biggest asset they're lending against, the nation's housing stock, is increasing in value."
Nygren agrees that banks don't warrant the kinds of valuations they were getting before the crisis -- in many cases, two times book value. But he thinks they're now a bargain at 50% to 75% of book value. "The bears are saying banks are getting overregulated and will become like utilities," says Nygren. "But look where banks are today versus utilities. If banks look like utilities on those metrics, they would be a fantastic investment."
The Great Value Debate
These noted value funds have different approaches to the still-confounding financial sector.

THE LONGTIME VALUE MANAGERS at Prospector Funds, meanwhile, eschew the handful of large banks most of the market fixates on, instead choosing from the thousands of smaller insurers, thrifts, and community banks that operate in a more manageable world and with a fraction of the leverage. They've had a heavy stake in small and medium-size financial companies since they launched their Prospector Opportunity fund (POPFX) in 2007. "In 2008, our financials actually outperformed our other holdings," says manager Kevin O'Brien. The beauty of investing in regional institutions, he adds, is the ability to handpick areas with strong or improving economies and housing markets. This led them to the likes of Oritani Financial ORIT 1.170671595810228% Oritani Financial Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD16.42 0.19 1.170671595810228% /Date(1469221200427-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 58917 AFTER HOURS USD16.42 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 515 P/E Ratio 12.852222917971195 Market Cap 740837563.943329 Dividend Yield 4.263093788063338% Rev. per Employee 761068 More quote details and news » (ORIT) in New Jersey and Chicopee Bancorp CBNK 0.5813860371254225% Chicopee Bancorp Inc.

While skeptics point to regulatory pressures as a reason to stay away from banks, the Prospector team sees the benefits. Not only do highly regulated industries provide additional opportunity for scrutiny, they're fertile grounds for mergers and acquisitions.
Keith Trauner and Larry Pitkowsky also see value in staying away from the behemoths. The duo launched the GoodHaven Fund (GOODX) in April 2011, after leaving Bruce Berkowitz's Fairholme Fund (FAIRX). While Berkowitz wagers on big financials -- they were recently 77% of his portfolio -- the GoodHaven managers are following a different tack, favoring niche firms, such as Federated Investors FII 0.9327758121582502% Federated Investors Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD31.38 0.29 0.9327758121582502% /Date(1469221322228-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 203274 AFTER HOURS USD31.38 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio 18.24418604651163 Market Cap 3263049147.61269 Dividend Yield 3.186743148502231% Rev. per Employee 674960 More quote details and news » (FII), known for its money-market and other short-term funds, or the relatively small investment bank and asset manager Jefferies Group (JEF). "It's not that we think everyone is wrong or there isn't money to be made," says Trauner. "But we're more interested in things we can get our arms around. People inside those large banks don't even know how to value them."
The Bottom Line
Financial stocks have rebounded nicely from their lows, but despite the run-up, many value managers are still finding opportunity -- and keeping their fingers crossed.
Four years after getting burned on financials, Olstein hasn't forgotten the lessons he learned. As he sees it, his firm made two huge mistakes -- overweighting these stocks and underestimating their potential to reverse quickly and dramatically. "When you make a mistake on a leveraged business model, you pay dearly," he says.
With that in mind, Olstein instituted a new rule: "We stop buying at 1% [of fund assets] and put no more than 10% of the portfolio in leveraged businesses."
And although Olstein has tiptoed back in -- his fund owns Legg Mason LM 0.8528784648187633% Legg Mason Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD33.11 0.28 0.8528784648187633% /Date(1469221321388-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 746674 AFTER HOURS USD33.11 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 3480225288.09514 Dividend Yield 2.6578073089700998% Rev. per Employee 859703 More quote details and news » (LM) and U.S. Bancorp USB 0.7402101241642789% U.S. Bancorp U.S.: NYSE USD42.19 0.31 0.7402101241642789% /Date(1469221297179-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 4967415 AFTER HOURS USD42.19 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio 13.184375 Market Cap 72524607639.3128 Dividend Yield 2.417634510547523% Rev. per Employee 326257 More quote details and news » (USB), among others -- he says "we're not looking for home runs in financial models anymore."

Leu Gains as Romania's Inflation Quickens More Than Forecast
The leu strengthened as Romanian inflation quickened more than forecast in September, fueling bets the central bank may tighten its monetary policy stance.
The currency gained 0.2 percent to 4.5688 per euro at 5:35 p.m. in Bucharest, after weakening 0.2 percent yesterday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Yields on 2018 euro-denominated bonds fell two basis points, or 0.02 percentage points, to a record low of 4.59 percent.
The inflation rate rose to 5.3 percent in September as food and energy prices climbed. The median estimate of 13 economists surveyed by Bloomberg was 4.7 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Romania's central bank capped lending at its one-week repo auction to 6 billion lei ($1.7 billion) on Oct. 8, after providing funding in line with bids since Sept. 3, to support the leu.
The inflation rate surpassing the market consensus "may have underpinned some leu firming," Mihai Tantaru, a Bucharest-based economist at ING Bank Romania, wrote in a note today. "Market participants are possibly pricing in a more restrictive stance for the central bank in the near run."
The last time Banca Nationala a Romaniei stemmed repo lending was on Aug. 6 and it followed through with lower limits for the rest of the month, which in turn led to the currency gaining 2.6 percent in August.
The leu weakened 0.4 percent on Oct. 5 -- a day before the decision to limit funding -- to the lowest in more than two months.
"We still expect the depreciation trend to continue, possibly past 4.60 per euro in the coming weeks, but the weakening could slow a bit given the recent inflation surprise," Tantaru said.
The central bank's target for inflation in 2012 ranges from 2 percent to 4 percent. The next interest rate-setting meeting is scheduled for Nov. 2.
The bank shouldn't be in a hurry to increase interest rates as the surprise pickup in inflation is temporary, Lucian Croitoru, a monetary policy adviser to Governor Mugur Isarescu, said in an interview today.

Maybe he just got better with age, like fine wine and aged cheese.
Maybe I just haven't read enough of Tom Robbins' books, and so haven't acquired a complete appreciation for the clever wordplay, but this one seems to be far too wordy at the expense of content and story. There are at least two chapters that unapologetically say absolutely nothing, and do not advance the story in any way.
Maybe I was just too impatient to get to the "meat" of the story, and got frustrated with the rambling.
As I said, maybe it's just me.
The characters are very Tom Robbins, especially Sissy Hanshaw, the super-sized digited ugly duckling who grew up to be a hitchhiker, model and cowgirl, the delightfully named Bonanza Jellybean, ranch boss and all cowgirl, the hygienically challenged Countess with castanets for teeth, Delores del Ruby, whip maestro and forewoman, and the Chink, pecker waving yam lover.
Parts of the story are very similar to "Jitterbug Perfume", especially if you consider the Chink as an oriental Pan, all musky and ready to rut, and compare the Clockworks tribe to the Bandaloop, both of whom possess the wisdom of the ages and are more finely attuned to nature than the rest of us.
Readers of "Still Life" will note that "O O Spaghetti O" makes about as much sense as "Ha ha ho ho and hee hee"
There's a wonderful storyline here, with our thumb-tied heroine struggling to find herself, the all cowgirl ranch, and the interrupted migration of the protected whooping cranes, but alas, it was hidden amongst the rambling passages, and I almost couldn't see the story for the words.Read more ›

Forests are conceived as one of the most significant and essential resources on earth. Based on the inadequacies of conventional forest fire monitoring on real time detection, the wireless sensor network technique for forest fire detection was introduced. In this paper, we have proposed a framework for forest fire detection and monitoring as an application area of wireless sensor networks. Our systems gather temperature from every points of forest and transmit it to control center speedily. Our framework includes proposals for the wireless sensor network architecture and communication protocols to detect the fire threats quickly. It also conceives the consumption of energy by the sensor nodes and the physical conditions that may hinder the activity of the network. When it consumes energy from nature then it provides fast reaction to forest fires. This framework can provide fast reaction to forest fires together with efficient energy consumption. In this paper we have presented an algorithm for controlling forest fire and a sleep-awake cycle to increase lifetime of sensor network.

Hill rallies from gruesome injury
It remains one of the most gruesome injuries in combat sports.
After a popular run on "The Ultimate Fighter 5," Corey Hill was looking to make his mark in the UFC when he met up with Dale Hartt at UFC Fight for the Troops in December 2008. Hill fired a low kick at Hartt midway through their bout. hartt raised his leg to defend, catching hill's shin just below the knee. The result was a horrific compound fracture of Hill's tibia and fibula.
Doctors told him to expect to walk with a limp forever and never fight again. Hill met a double amputee one day in rehab.
"He was smiling and had this great attitude," Hill told Sherdog.com. "I thought, 'Why am I complaining? It could be so much worse.'"
After six months of being immobile, Hill had the pins removed from his legs and he began a painful stretch of rehab. Hill defied the medical experts and made his return to the cage on Jan. 23 and defeated Jason Trzewieczynski.
Hill fights for the fourth time this year when he takes on former WEC lightweight champion Rob McCullough of Huntington Beach on Thursday night at Tachi Palace Fights 6 in Lemoore.
Taking a look at the world of combat sports:
The MMA blogosphere was going bonkers last week after Manny Pacquiao said he would consider trying his hand in mixed martial arts. "I want to but they (promoters and management) don't want me to fight," Pacquiao told BoxingScene.com.
As long as Top Rank's Bob Arum can fill Cowboys Stadium with boxing fans for Pacquiao vs. (insert fighter name), he will never let Pacquiao fight in an MMA fight. Even though it will never happen, K.J. Noons seized the opportunity to generate some hype.
"I would love to welcome Pacquiao into MMA," Noons told Fight Hype. "It would be an ideal situation for him because I don't take guys down to the ground, and after that's all said and done in the cage, I would be willing to step inside of the ring with him too, something we all knew Randy Couture wouldn't do with James Toney." ...
Vitor Belfort took to Twitter to challenge James Toney to a boxing match, but it's fair to say that UFC president Dana White will mark that in the "never-gonna-happen" category. ...

Kenny Florian isn't complaining or trying to find excuses after getting completely outwrestled by Gray Maynard last month at UFC 118. Florian is looking for solutions. Florian told Sherdog.com that he hired Sean Gray, a assistant wrestling coach at Boston University. ...
Once hyped as a can't-miss heavyweight prospect, Todd Duffee finds himself whacked from the UFC roster according to a report by MMAjunkie.com. Duffee made a splash in his UFC debut with a 7-second KO over Tim Hague in August 2009. In his second appearance insid ethe octagon, Duffee dominated Mike Russow for two-and-a-half rounds before getting clipped by a right hand. Three months later, Duffee got his walking papers.
"I've had every emotion there is to have," Duffee told MMAjunkie.com. "Right now, I'm just kind of numb." ...
Joe Lauzon and George Sotiropoulos --- two of the hottest lightweight prospects in the UFC --- are in talks to fight at UFC 123 on Nov. 20 in Auburn Hills, Mich., according to mmamania.com. ...
Bellator has another exciting card lined up with Season 2� lightweight tournament finalist Carey Vanier going up against UFC veteran Rich Clementi in the main event of Bellator 28 on Thursday at 8 p.m. on Fox Sports Net at the Mahalia Jackson Theater in New Orleans.

Nate Marquardt vs. Rousimar Palhares
When: Wednesday, 8 p.m.
Where: Frank Erwin Center, Austin, Tex.
TV: Spike TV
Outlook: Marquardt (29-9-2) and Palhares (11-2) are looking to work their way into the UFC's middleweight title picture and a victory here gets the winner one step closer.
Prediction: Palhares is a decorated Brazilian jiu-jitsu practioner, but Marquardt, a three-time King of Pancrase, is much more well rounded and has more ways to win. Marquardt takes this one.
Record in 2010 picks: 19-8-1

If you're a long time reader of our blog, perhaps you remember the winter of 2014-15
the snowiest winter on record for the Boston area?
Of course, with record snowfall, comes record ice dams Like many others, we experienced severe icing that caused water damage to our home.
After several negotiations with our tight-fisted insurance company, we received enough funds to de-mold the attic, gut-out the living room, add hardwood flooring, repaint the kitchen and repair our deck.
Unfortunately, my sensory sensitive children were unable to withstand the sights, sounds and smell of construction repair, so we decided to uproot the family and head outta dodge.
"Kinfolk said "Jed, move away from there!"
Said: "Coastal living is the place ya oughta be..!"
So, we loaded up the truck and we moved to New...buuurrrryyyy....
You may recall a post I wrote a few years back about the beauty of this historic city.
Of course our new living arrangements had to have the necessary prerequisite for Nicholas.
It also has a few other lovely perks
Like this view from our bedroom window.
And this lovely park where Muffy enjoys walking every evening
Not far from the condo is one of our favorite beaches,
While it has been tricky living in two places at the same time,
we are trying to see this move as a type of mini vacation.
Some much needed quiet time,
a healthy respite, that, for our family,
symbolizes our desire
to put an end to the unhealthy state of constant crisis.
to put an end to the unhealthy state of constant crisis.
So far, it has been exactly what we needed.

Read an Excerpt
The music played softly as Alexis entered the church. She could feel her heart beating strongly in her chest.The ankle-length dress she wore hugged her womanly hips.They swayed in a manner that would make even the most pious man stand in need of redemption. Her body moved with a natural rhythm, as if she were walking to the smooth beat of a luscious Caribbean melody. She wore a big-brimmed hat with a 1930s' style veil that came down past her eyes and ended at the bridge of her nose. Her countenance revealed the African nobility that ran through her veins. In a word, Alexis was class.
As Alexis proceeded down the aisle toward the altar she felt the stares of the people who crowded the large sanctuary of the New Zion Memorial A.M.E. church to the point of standing room only. It had been less than a year since the new sanctuary had been restored and today it was beautiful.There were purple, gold, red and white flowers hanging everywhere. Golden sunlight poured in through the large stained-glass windows. A huge mural of a black Christ looked down upon the congregation like a loving father over his baby's crib.
Alexis looked into the faces of the people who had come to show their support. She was happy to see her family, James -- Damon's policeman friend -- and everyone else who had been there for her and Damon. She could feel their love and support.
She had planned and paid for everything. She wanted to make sure that everything went perfectly. Alexis gave Keisha a slight smile and a nod of her head.The supportive smile that was returned made her heart lift a little.Although Keisha was the mother of Damon's daughter she was still a friend, andher presence was comforting.
It was a warm April afternoon when Alexis and Damon pulled up in front of Keisha's house to pick up his daughter,Ebony. Alexis was about to meet Keisha for the first time and she was nervous. She had already spent a couple of weekends with Ebony when Damon had her, but she had never met the child's mother. She tried to convince herself that there was nothing to worry about. She needed to believe that even if the woman didn't like her,it wouldn't have any effect on her relationship with Damon. In her heart she didn't feel confident about that. Although Keisha and Damon's relationship had been over for a long time, in a way she would always be the "woman" in Damon's life. There was a strong possibility that Keisha would resent another woman barging in on her former territory. She felt wings of uneasiness flutter in her belly.
"Damon, how do you think Keisha will react to me?" Damon chuckled. "Come on baby, we've already been through this.I've told Keisha all about you.She's looking forward to meeting you."
Alexis felt doubt gnaw at her. She had many friends who had endured Baby Momma Drama. She had heard more than her fair share of war stories: mothers calling fathers in the middle of the night, frantic that the baby was terribly ill when the baby hadn't even sneezed. For some reason it seemed the babies' mommas always decided they wanted the man back when a new love interest entered the scene. Alexis wondered what kind of "drama" she was in for. Whatever it was going to be, she had prepared herself for war if necessary.
"Look baby, don't even worry about it. Keisha is nothing like that. I'm telling you she is cool."
She was hoping that Keisha was as cool as Damon said but she wasn't about to take any insults from the woman. If need be she would just let her know that she was the new woman in his life and there would be no "mess."
And then there was Ebony. Although she knew how to deal with a jealous woman, dealing with a child and the problems that might come with one would be delving into unknown territory. Alexis was not sure how to deal with any difficulties on that level. Still, Keisha was the real trial right now.
"Maybe you should have left me at your house." Alexis placed her hand on Damon's leg as she looked at the front door of the small house. "I mean, it's probably not a good idea for you to spring me on her right at her doorstep. Maybe she needs more time before we meet."
Damon placed his hand over Alexis'. "Come on, baby. We've already been through this.I just know in my heart that she will like you. Just like Ebony did."
He looked into her eyes and gave her an easy smile. The sound of his voice eased her tension a little. Alexis looked down at Damon's dark-brown hand covering her lighter one. Seeing the contrast of their skin sent tingles through her body. There was something about the difference that always made her feel comfort and warmth. It was almost as if his darkness was an outward sign of his strength. With muscular arms to protect her and a broad chest to comfort her, he was a dark, beautiful, powerful man with the soul of a poet. Alexis loved to listen to him speak. His deep, rich voice had a way with her. Yes, this man was her dark prince, and she loved him.
She waited while Damon got out of the black BMW and walked around to her side and opened her door."Don't you think I should at least wait in the car?" She was hoping she sounded enough like a baby to keep him from insisting she go with him. It didn't work.
"Alexis,come on.I can't believe such a strong,independent woman could be so afraid. Xena would be ashamed of you right now. Where's the warrior princess I fell in love with?"
Alexis knew he was just trying to goad her, but there was just something in her that couldn't turn down a dare. She took his hand as he helped her out of the car, took a deep breath and walked with him toward the house. Before they could reach the door it sprung open. A very attractive woman stuck her head through the opening.
"Boy, you always late. Shoot, you gonna end up being late to your own funeral."
"That's my plan." Damon smiled.
Keisha laughed and playfully slapped him upside the head. Alexis felt a twinge of jealousy at the playful way she touched Damon,but brushed it off.He had told her that they had a good relationship.
"Keisha,I want you to meet Alexis. Alexis,this is Keisha."
Keisha gave Alexis a warm smile and stuck out her hand."Well it's nice to finally meet you. Damon's told me a lot about you. It's about time he found somebody decent to spend his time with. At least since me." She laughed at her joke.
Alexis tried desperately to manage a smile back."It's nice to meet you."
"Come on in the house. Ebony's just finishing her dinner.Y'all have some? I've got plenty.Fried pork chops,string beans, sweet potatoes and homemade biscuits."
Alexis found herself smiling a bit more easily at the Southern hospitality. She found it hard to picture Damon and this woman as a couple. Keisha's down-home drawl and mannerisms didn't mesh with Damon's urban sophistication.
"No, thanks. We've already eaten and we're stuffed."
"You look stuffed."Keisha patted him playfully on the belly. Alexis was not completely comfortable with the familiarity between them, but again she brushed it aside. She trusted Damon. He had never given her reason not to.
"You look like you've gained a few pounds around the middle." Keisha laughed again.
They walked through an immaculate living room. The furniture was simple, but elegant. They walked into the kitchen and Alexis immediately saw the small female version of the man she loved. It had been over a month since she had seen the child, but from their first meeting, Alexis had fallen in love with her. When Ebony saw her daddy her face lit up like a Christmas tree. She sprang from the table into his arms.
"Daaaaaddy!" She was tall for four years. Ebony had a golden-brown complexion,a perfect mix of her mother and father. The child had her mother's full lips, but other than that, it was as if her father had made her without any help. "What'cha bring me?"
"Girl, if you don't carry your tail back to that table and finish your dinner you're not going anywhere," Keisha admonished her.
Damon put her down and she hurried back to the table to finish her vegetables, but she kept expectant eyes on her father.
Damon reached into his pocket."What makes you think I brought you something?"
"Cause you always bring that spoiled child something," Keisha huffed."That's why I can't do nothing with her now." Keisha patted the little girl on the head.
"Well I didn't bring anything today, but I was going to ask you if you wanted to go to the movies."
Ebony's face lit up with the same beautiful smile that her daddy possessed. "Yes, please, Daddy. I wanna go to the movies."
The three adults smiled at her good manners. "Hey, Lexxus." Ebony bashfully smiled up at her as if just noticing she had been standing there next to her father.
"Hello there, Miss Ebony." She walked over to where the child was seated and squatted down to her level."It's so nice to see you again."
"Do you want to see Patches?" Ebony asked with her mouth full of the last of her vegetables.
"Not until you stop talking with your mouth full,"Damon responded before Alexis could answer. "I swear girl, you have the worst table manners. I know you didn't get that from me." He glanced at Keisha.
"Don't look at me."
"Who's Patches?" Alexis asked.
Ebony allowed another sunshiny bright smile to spread over her soiled face and grabbed Alexis' hand. "Come on! I'll show you!"
Ebony nearly pulled Alexis' arm out of its socket as she exploded from the chair and down the back hall with Alexis in tow. It was all she could do to keep up with the little spitfire without falling over in her heels.
Ebony led her to a laundry room that was just big enough to hold a washer, dryer and a couple of plastic shelves over each. Instead of a door there was a small baby fence across the doorway. There, standing on his hind legs with his front paws draped over the little gate,stood Patches. A pink tongue hung out one side of a tiny mouth. The little dog's eyes focused on Ebony like she was all that was good in the world.
The Shih Tzu was the most adorable thing Alexis had ever seen. Fur swirled in beautiful patches of black and white. When Ebony approached, he let out a pitiful whimper and two small yaps.
"Oh, Ebony, what a beautiful puppy! Where did you get him?" Alexis sat down on the floor in front of the gate. She loved dogs, especially little froufrou ones. Patches gave another pitiful whine. He was really playing up to his new and sympathetic audience."Awww, I think he wants to get out. Can we take him out?" Now she felt like the child, asking Ebony for the puppy's pardon.
"Sure, we can. He only hasta stay in there while we eat dinner.Momma don't want 'em in the kitchen while we eat. She says it's nasty. But he takes a bath every week. He's almost clean as me."
Alexis looked into the child's eyes and smiled. Just then Damon and Keisha came down the hall."You can pick him up if you want. He doesn't bite." Keisha's invitation was all Alexis needed to hear before she swooped the lump of fur up into her arms and cuddled him like a baby.
"Oh whatacutelilpupikinsyouare yes you are! Oh, Keisha, he's lovely."
"He's not my dog! Damon brought that mutt over here for Ebony. I'm just the maid that takes care of him."
"Now you know you're lying,"Damon laughed."You love that dog as much as Ebony does, probably more."
"No, I'm just responsible, unlike some people I know. I won't name any names, though."
"What are you trying to say, Keisha? I'm irresponsible?"
"You said it, not me."
"Well, I'm not. I am a free spirit."

Reviews (21)
I wasn't sure if this would even work so I tried it. WOW is all I can say. I never realized how much hair my short haired dog had in an under coat. I combed her for about an hour and she just sat there and loved it. My entire floor was covered in hair. Thank goodness for tile floor. What an amazing product
"Sleeker Grooming Blade"
I bought this product to be used on the farm. I have used a similar but smaller product and not only did it do a great job of pulling away the winter coat but when I stopped to move to another horse the horse bumped me and didn't want me to stop. He loved it. The larger size makes short work of pulling away heavy winter coats. I wold recommend to all. APGJR RACING STABLE FL
"Best shedding tool ever"
I thought I'd never get the hair off my cushings horse this year until I got this tool. The hair just rolls off. Not so great on my cats and dogs, but wonderful for the horse and he tolerates it very well.
"Great Product for Cats"
I love the Sleekez brush. I use the brush on my cat and it is easy to use. The cat likes being brushed with the Sleekez brush. It is best to us it outside, because of the loose hair that was coming off of the cat. The quality of the blade is great. Thank You for a great product.
the sleek ez did not meet my expectations. We live in Canada so our horses grow a very thick winter coat. It looked from the ad that it would take all the winter hair off and leave the summer coat. It did take the longer hairs that the regular shedder didn't get, as well as smooth the coat to some degree.
i bought one in each size. large and medium for my horse and the little one for my cats. not only does it groom all the loose furs cleanly, everybody loves to be groomed with it. i get purrs and big horsey kisses whenever i use it. they all love it and it makes me a hero to them
"SleekEz Grooming Bladde"
This is the most awesome product on the market for shedding out horses! I recent got a Corgi, and I bought this smaller one for her coat. It works like a charm to get the downy undergrowth, but leaves the top layer alone. Love it!
"Great Product"
I bought these a couple of years ago from Sleek ez direct. BEST purchase ever! My daughter's horse loves when you run it over his butt. This product WORKS! You won't be disappointed.
"LOVE this product."
Record heat has started early in Arizona. My boys were still very wooly, and I was concerned about the heat. Rec'd my Sleekez and got a TON of hair off each horse in no time. They love it! My old gelding kept bumping me with his nose when I stopped, as if to say "more Mom!" Great product!!
"Does the Job!"
I purchased the large size for my horses. I have a 30 year old gelding that really grows a long winter coat . He may have cushings but shows no signs except for the long hair. This product really does the job of removing hair easier. Using short strokes when brushing I find works the best. Someone posted here that it was mearly a hack saw blade in a piece of wood. Their probably right but I'm not a wood working expert so this is a great grooming tool for the wood working challenged. Others at the barn are borrowing it as well so for $20 bucks it's worth it.
"I love these things."
I have all three of the groomers and really like them all. I find that they all work on horses and then the smaller ones work on the smaller animals. It took a little getting used to but once I got the hang of it they work great,
"Why I like this product."
I'm very pleased with the sleekez grooming blade. I chose the 5inch blade so I could also use it on my golden retriever. I was really pleased with how easy it is to use and the quality of the materials used to make the blade. Thank you so much for such a nice product!!!
"Really Works!"
Love it! With my arthritic hands, I chose to buy the 5" one to use on my horses and my dogs. They relax and enjoy it. I tried it out thinking that in the middle of winter no one was shedding. Ha! Was I in for a big surprise. I can hardly wait for spring so I can get my horses slicked out in no time....
"Not impressed"
We tried it on our pony and dogs and were not impressed at all. An old fashioned curry comb and for the dogs a brush does the trick much better.
"Both my kitties love this!"
I have two short haired boys and my yellow kitty sheds like crazy so I used my sleekez on him first and he loved it! I got lots of hair off and my other boy who hardly ever sheds wanted me to comb him so I had both kitties on my lap at the same time! That rarely happens and they both loved to be combed with the sleekez! Thanks so much for a product that works great and one that makes my boys happy! Now we get more snuggle time!

I am writing a Math World story where the first numbers are 0-100 and the rest are given birth to. I am trying to assign them genders and this has worked so far:
0 is male
1 is female
2 is male
3 is female
4 is hermaphroditic(male and female at the same time) because it has 1 and 2 as well as itself as factors and there is a 50/50 ratio between male factors and female factors in this case
5 is male
I was just assigning them without much of a function but as you can see I am alternating genders with the primes.
I want to make 2 functions that do 2 things.
1) I want to make a function that alternates gender with each prime
2) I want to make a function that does all these comparisons:
male factors > female factors = male
female factors > male factors = female
female factors = male factors = hermaphroditic
for composite numbers including 1 but not itself as a factor.
I realize I might have to nest these in a trial division primality test and I might need to do several iterations so that I get factors of factors of factors... but still if I could make a program that finds all the factors including primes of a number and than do either the alternating if it is prime or the comparison if composite to assign genders of numbers between 0 and 100 that would be nice.
I originally posted something about this on a forum about excel but realized that I could really only give a really good guess if I didn't have a good program that could do iterations of the factorization process. 1 of the questions that I have is how can I make the factorization only happen when some variable x is composite and if I need to do another iteration take those factors I got and run them through the primality test again to see if any are composite and get the factors of any composite factors.
Also how can I make a function that alternates gender with each prime number in sequence like 2 is male, 3 is female, 5 is male, 7 is female etc. when x in the primality test is prime?

Install, Configure and Administer a Moodle website with New Book
Packt is pleased to announce a new book on Moodle that is a complete administrator's guide to configuring, securing and customizing Moodle. Through Moodle Administration, Alex Büchner, the co-founder and technical lead of the UK's largest Moodle partner Synergy Learning, will teach users how to install, set up, plan, optimize and maintain a Moodle system.
Moodle has evolved from an academic project to the world's most popular virtual learning environment. It is designed to help educators create online courses with opportunities for rich interaction. Its open source license and modular design means that people can develop additional functionality.
This book will make users understand the Moodle architecture and find their way around its interfaces. It will teach educators to configure courses, course categories, enrollment, and authentication mechanisms. Users will also learn to back up and restore Moodle at course, site, and system level.
Using third party tools like Google Analytics, users will be able to interpret and analyze their activity, and track statistics using Moodle's in-built monitoring facility. Users will also learn to configure Moodle for accessibility, localization, and customizing modules and grade/gradebook settings.
Technicians, systems administrators, as well as academic staff dealing with a small-scale local Moodle system or a large-scale multi-site Virtual Learning Environment will find this book useful.
The book is out now and is available from Packt. For more information, please visit http://www.packtpub.com/moodle-administration-guide/book

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

RE: Russell Page
I cannot imagine where this "unmarked" grave might be located. There are public roads on two sides of the churchyard with very narrow grass verges, a farm on another side, and a private residence on the other. While the Telegraph article mentioned visiting the area, it gave no indication of whether or not the reporter found the grave.
It is a 20mile round trip to Little Badminton, so I will only visit again if I have good directions and a fighting chance of finding any graves.
I looked at the list of inscriptions that Alf Beard had transcribed. I noted that in some cases, additional information appeared in his lists that were not on the gravestones, while in others, verses had been omitted. I also wondered why he was so selective in the graves that he transcribed as I believe that there are many more that are clearly legible that do not appear on his list. His numbering system does seem to be arbitrary and does not appear to be of much help in locating any of the graves.

Graves at Little Badminton
I have uploaded photos for Vere & Diana, but there appear to be some anomalies in the information. Both inscriptions indicate that Vere was the 14th Earl of Westmorland (without a second 'E') rather than a Duke, and it states that he was born on 15th rather than 25th. I will create the other three entries shortly.

Earls of Westmorland
Good News. I managed to get in touch with a very helpful lady who is the secretary to the Badminton Estate. She confirmed that the Fanes are indeed buried at Little Badminton and told me exactly where to find the graves. The reason that I could not find them when I first visited the Cemetery was because they have horizontal stones and are located beneath a large lime tree which means that they were covered with sticky sap, moss, and other wind-blown debris. It took some effort, but I have cleaned them up and will upload photos in the next few days. I also found three other members of the Westmorland clan close by, and will add their details and photos as well.

Thank you for your SACs' for her memorial page.
However, her maiden name IS "Meeker" not "Forgan" as you suggested, so I have declined that SAC. See info. & sources I added to her bio page.
Could you provide me with a source for her death place ? - the only mention of death is SSDI but that is not proof of death place only last residence & where the SSN was issued. So I am leaving her death place as "United States" for now but manually changing her birth place to Chicago.
Best regards
