Despite that, here's a relatively concise summary, probably rife with bias and error, of one fascinating guy, art collection, and museum squabble.

That's a pretty good, fair summary to my mind. As the piece makes clear, there are plenty of villains. It's just too bad the heroes committed to preserving such a unique institution were never the ones with power or money.

Is there a form or something i can use to scare the shit out of my old landlord for not giving me my security deposit back?

have trent steele write him a strongly worded letter or some other lawyer you know.

use the phight on! bat-signal

i know a lawyer, just don't feel like wasting his time if there is something i can use

Well, there's an Intent to Sue letter. Not sure how scary that is though.

It's useful though if you, y'know, intend to sue.

thank you, this is what i'm looking for. I shall try it, then get my lawyer buddy involved if necessary

Do you live in Philly? You can sue, and you don't need a lawyer (though one may be helpful). The case will be adjudicated in an arbitration hearing. Document everything if you can. I did this once and won! Since the old landlord deducted a bunch of stuff he shouldn't have, and because it took him more than 30 days to refund the deposit, we received triple damages!

I'm not sure what you're entitled to if the landlord returns your deposit in full but it takes more than 30 days.

Thanks. I have been pretty busy with work, so I'm trying everything before actually suing him. I have emails saying "It's on the way", "We're only taking $100 out", etc. If my last email doesn't work, I'm going to try swish's idea, then get my lawyer friend to write something on letterhead for me

Bank of America, under fire from shareholders and analysts, is getting a $5-billion investment from Warren Buffett's investment company. The banking giant's stock soared this morning on the news.

The investment by Berkshire Hathaway is reminiscent of a $5-billion investment Buffett made in Goldman Sachs in September 2008 in the depths of the financial crisis. That injection of capital helped restore confidence in Goldman and helped the Wall Street firm attract other investments.

it's amazing to me that in this day and age there are so many "for sale by owner" signs without web links. FFS, people, it's 2011. People don't want to call you and discuss things- they want to click and see the info.

It's CHEAP to get a listing on FSBO.com or something like that. GET WITH IT PEOPLE. There's a decrepit property here, but it's on the beach block. For Sale By Owner. So I'm forced to call. The ballpark? $1.1M. They're expecting a tear-down-and-replace. If you're expecting that much for your property, EITHER GET AN AGENT OR A WEB LINK.

Or maybe I'm just arrogant.
