Buffett's long time practice is that he buys businesses that he likes and leaves existing management in place. A large percentage of his buys are family owned and run businesses that must sell for estate planning purposes. You know - the business is worth $$$, the family has not got 50% of...

In Tulsa, both 2A and USSA have concealed carry classes beginning January 5 according to their web sites. About the gun - are you asking where to buy it, or are you asking what alternatives to consider. For where to buy - in Tulsa, I would look at SportsWorld and 2A. I was in SportsWorld a...

I just caught this thread and it is already up to ten pages long. You have hit a nerve. I don't agree with any political party on every issue. No one in their right mind does. After three years in Washington, I figured that I had to prioritize my concerns. In 1976 I figured out that what...

I used to donate to OBI in Tulsa on 81st on a regular basis. I no longer do. They have no guns sign on the door, or did when I was last there. I prefer to not give my business to places like that when I have a choice and I do have a choice. I had a long, friendly talk with the guy...

Sorta kinda. There is a wholesale exodus from California ongoing. Many taxpayers leaving, many benefit receivers arriving, it seems. There are still a lot of people who can not or will not leave who have not given up on the place. Go to NRO and read the last dozen columns by Prof. Victor Davis...

I am a member of the California bar and have been for 30+ years. Conservative and middle of the road California bar members are completely fed up with the bar association. The bar association was largely captured by lefties long ago, and given up as a lost cause by all others. Arguing that...

I'd call Roger Ayers at Lawns Plus. 918-402-6236 I had him do a sprinkler repair for me. He was priced fair, fast, and competent. Enough so that I've now got him [his people, really] mowing my mother in law's house. He does work in Tulsa and BA, and tells me he installs about one sprinkler...

Do yourself a favor and do not go to law school. Spend a few days on the internet reading about the employment prospects for law grads and you will see that the job market sucks. At least, do not go to law school unless you have a solid offer of a job upon graduation and passing the bar...

Snopes says that the whale/dentist thing is photoshopped, and they provide a long story explaining how and who did it. http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/whalekayak.asp Good photo, though.

I had PF, real bad. I did not get shots. I resolved it with - NSAIDS, which helped immediately. I used Celebrex, which requires a prescription. The problem is that NSAIDS are very bad for the kidneys. - Weight loss, which reduced the stress on the feet - Arch supports and more cushioning in the...

I would ask someone at Video Revolution - 7030 S. Lewis, 918-495-0586. They were great [and cheap] with my busted TV repair issues and they sell audio, too, so I expect they fix audio as well. They were a Sony dealer [plus lots of other brands] last time I checked.

If it were me, I'd buy a slug bbl for the Remington. Its a way to get decent sights, or a good scope mount, on the gun. You can go either with a smooth bore [for foster type slugs] or with a rifled bore [for sabots]. Sabots are more accurate, out over 100 meters in my gun, but cost more and...

You asked for sprinkler repair referrals in Tulsa. I used Lawns Plus LLC Roger Ayres 402-6236 I was very happy with the work and with the bill.

Maybe telephone the Coast Guard and ask for help? Alameda is a major city. There is a major Coast Guard presence. Maybe telephone one of the nearby jurisdictions who will still allow their rescue people to do rescues? I dunno. Just guessing.

The rescue guys on the shore watching this must have been without cell phones or radios, too. There are inter-agency agreements in place that allow them to call their dispatch to call sister agencies in the Bay Area that are equipped and trained for any mission that they are not able to...

Problem resolved. It was the bulb. I took it to Video Revolution, the guy instantly said it was the bulb, they had the part in stock, they swapped it out, charged no labor, took my $200 or so [which is fair], and sent me on my way. I'll buy my next TV from them. They said that the bulbs...

My picture is still plenty bright. Had your faded at all? I suspect I have a dead fan. Is the fan part of the bulb assembly? jej

Thx. I checked their web site and I will go by there today. jej

Thx. The standby light blinks continually and quickly until it comes back on. jej

I have a Sony KDF-E42A10. That is a 42 inch LCD projection TV. It is 6 years old. It has started turning itself off after a couple minutes. It will then flash a standby indicator light on the control panel for 30 seconds or so, then come back on for 30-40 seconds, then do it again. I cleaned...
