I feel like I should apologize to non-cat people for all the cat-related content we've been generating of late. This should be the last cat post for a while. (At least until the widdle snugum wuggums does something adorable!)
We picked up this cat scratcher idea from Modern Cat. That version is much more polished than ours, in fact, it's downright cute. Ours is also too small–we need to add to it a bit. But you can see how it's made: strips of cardboard coiled up like a a cinnamon roll, duct tape at the breaks. If you go to the original, you'll see how they finish the edges.
Easy. Kitty likes it.
We're finally ready for The Big One. In terms of emergency preparedness, we were pretty well set in terms of food, light, fuel, etc., but we didn't have much water. Just some jugs, a rain barrel that's empty most of the year, and the water in our hot water tank. This lack made me nervous, so we finally did took the bull by the horns–or the bung hole…
How much water should you store?
1 gallon of water per person per day. This is the minimal amount necessary for drinking, cooking and very basic hygiene. If you live somewhere it can get beastly hot, factor in extra water for drinking. In scorching temps you'll need a gallon per person a day just for hydration.
Expect you'll need at least a two week supply. That's a minimum 14 gallons per household member. Then be sure to add extra water for pets and livestock. When we considered all of that, it seemed like a 55 gallon drum was not too much for the two of us and our pets. Ideally, we'd store more. It doesn't rain here 3/4 of the year, and there isn't any natural water source nearby. A second drum might be in our future.
What we're using:
We shelled out the money for a brand new, food grade 55 gallon drum. The reason we didn't go with a much cheaper used food grade drum is because some food stuffs leave behind residues which is impossible to clean from the drum. These might just manifest as off odors that make the water smell and taste bad, or they might even contain tiny traces of food will lead to bacterial growth during long term storage. For example, it is impossible to clean away traces of dairy, no matter how hard you scrub. It seemed better to just pay the extra money than to worry about it.
I don't like plastic much, but short of buidling a concrete cistern or something like that, the only other similar option would be to buy a stainless steel drum. I'd much prefer to do so, but new ones priced out in the $800 to $1000 range.
Accessories for the barrel:
There are two vital accessories that go with any 55 gallon drum: a bung wrench (see pic above) to open and close the drum's bung holes easily (it apparently can also be used as a gas shut-off wrench) and a siphon pump to get the water out of the drum. There are nice, solid pumps sold for frequent use, but we got a cheap one ($20) and hope it will hold up in our hour of need. All our equipment came from a surplus store, but many retailers can be found with a little simple googling.
You might find sturdy 5 gallon water containers more versatile, both for handling and storage. And choosing them instead of a drum will preserve you from ever having to say "bung hole" out loud. Just make sure they are strong, BPA free, and suited both for stacking and long term storage. The less expensive ones may leak, and can't be stacked. Find them at outdoor and surplus stores, and online.
If you want to recycle, you can store water in plastic 2 liter soda bottles. Don't use the white milk jug-type containers (whether they held milk or juice) because they don't age well and don't seal well. Glass jars are nice because they're not plastic, but they are heavy and must be carefully stored.
You can just store commercially bottled water. If you do this, change it out according to the expiry date.
Cleaning the container:
Whatever container you use, clean it first by washing with soap and water if necessary, then rinsing it out with a mild bleach solution (1 tsp in a quart of water). Bleach is what The Authorities always recommend. I'm no fan of bleach, but in this case have decided to toe the line instead of trying vinegar instead, because I just don't want to take any risks in this case.
Filling the container:
City water is already treated with chlorine or chlorine variants, so if your house water comes from a municipal supply line you don't have to treat it by adding extra chlorine or iodine prior to storage. You can store untreated city water for 6 months.
If your water comes from a well or other untreated source, then you should treat it prior to storage by adding 1/8 teaspoon of regular, unscented chlorine bleach to each gallon of water.
Treating dodgy water:
If you suspect that your water is contaminated–for instance, if after an emergency you doubt the cleanliness of the water from the tap, you should take steps to purify it before drinking. These are things to commit to memory, or maybe pin on the fridge, because in an emergency, you probably will not be able to check the internet.
Boil it: If you have the fuel, you can purify water by bringing it to a rolling boil for 1 to 3 minutes.
Bleach it: Even if you're a bleach hater, like me, you should keep a small bottle of unscented, regular (not color safe, thickened, etc.) chlorine bleach on hand for emergencies.
Add 16 drops (1/4 teaspoon) of bleach to each gallon of water. Shake, and let sit for 30 minutes before drinking.
Iodine: If you have liquid 2% tincture of iodine, add 5 drops per quart. If you have tablets, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Apparently adding a pinch of powdered vitamin C or orange drink hides the iodine flavor. And prevents scurvy!
The preceding directions are for clean-looking water. If your water is cloudy, you will want to try to filter it as best you can to remove sediment (filter it though a coffee filter or t-shirt or somesuch), and then be extra rigorous in the purification. Boil longer. If you're using bleach, you should be able (unfortunately) to detect a faint odor of bleach in your water after treatment. If you don't, it's not clean. Repeat the process. If you're using iodine, use 10 drops per quart instead of 5.
ETA: Forgot! Another way to disinfect water in an emergency situation is through solar water disinfection, or SODIS. Basically you fill up a clear plastic (PET) liter bottle–it has to be clear, and it can't be bigger than a liter–and put it in intense sun for 6 hours. Filter the water first if it's dirty. See AfriGadget for details.
Storage length:
Stored water should be swapped out for fresh every six months (except for commercially bottled water–again, check the expiry date on that). Use the old water for your garden, sanitize the containers and refill. We've got the swap date marked on our calendar so we don't forget.
Where to store the water:
Somewhere dark and relatively temperature stable. Also, no matter how sturdy the container, there is always a chance for water leaks, so you should keep that in mind, too. We live in a very mild climate, so we're keeping our barrel in constantly shady, protected corner of our back yard.

On the back page of Urban Farm magazine's most recent issue–Sept./Oct 2011–Erik is asked to answer the question, "If you can only do one thing to boost your sustainability…"
His answer follows. He was in high guru form that day. I hope Urban Farm will forgive me for lifting the whole quote:
The action at the top of the to-do list on the path to true sustainability is not a tangible thing. It's a change in perspective, a breaking down of the barrier between what is "within" and what is "without." It is a recognition that our internal intentions and actions expand ever outward, transforming our households, communities and, ultimately, the world. We are alchemists. Our compost piles, beehives and chicken coops are merely the outward signs of the transformation going on within our souls. A new era beckons.
|View up the side yard, looking toward the back yard. The new bin is all pretty and shiny.
Mrs. Homegrown here:
I posted about cat litter composting a while back, and got lots of interesting comments and suggestions. If you're researching the topic, I suggest you check out that post, the comments especially.
Since then, Erik and I have decided on the method we're going to try. We're just going to do straight up, classic composting, Humanure Handbook style. The only difference between this style and ordinary composting is that we'll let this compost rest for two years before we spread it, to be sure the bad beasties die off. And in case they aren't gone, we won't spread the finished compost around edible plants.
No, this is not orthodox practice. It is not considered "safe" to compost pet waste–all the standard advice tells you not to– but we're doing it anyway, because we trust time and bacteria and worms and our own composting skills to make good compost out of cat litter. Also, the standard advice is mostly in reference to a home's one-and-only compost pile. You would not want to add cat or dog poop to your regular compost pile. It needs to be kept in a separate pile that is managed more carefully.
The biggest challenge in this scheme for us was figuring out where to put yet another compost container. Our yard is already overrun with barrels and bins. Worse, when we thought it through, we realized we needed room for not just one compost bin, but at least two, maybe three, because of the aging issue.You know, fill one up, set it aside, start on another. The barrels pile up!
The solution is our south-facing side yard. That "yard" is a 3 foot wide strip of sun-baked soil that no one ever sees. It's divided from our neighbor's side yard (also rarely used) by a hedge of tenacious jade plants. There is no access to the back yard from the side yard. It has been a wasteland for all the time we've been here. This year Erik put in two tiny raised planters there to see if he could grow hops on the side of the house. But it is still mostly unused, invisible space–perfect for compost bins.
The only problem was access. It's an awkward hike around the front house to get to that side yard. It would be no fun to have haul the dirty litter over there. This is where Erik's genius came to play. He decided to cut a hole in our back yard fence–a little section of fence convenient to our back porch– and make a small door that will let us dump the litter directly into the barrel, which sits on the opposite side of the fence. We're already calling this the Cat Poop Portal ™.

Thoughts on the composting:
As I said at the beginning, this is pretty much straight up, normal composting, with the exception of a long aging period at the end. The Humanure Handbook is a good general guide to composting principles as well having special instructions regarding the safe handling of poop. If you don't know how to compost, I'd start there. That book is widely available, and they have a free pdf on their website. See our resources tab.
Our cat litter is compostable–we've been using both Feline Pine and Yesterdays News–pine and paper, respectively. Compostable litter is made up of a true carbon source–that means plant-based material: corn, wheat, paper and sawdust are all okay. Clay litter, or anything with chemicals in it, would not be appropriate for this. Clay is not toxic, it's just that it wouldn't ever break down into proper compost. I don't know what the clumping kind is made of, so I avoid it–but if your clumping kind is made of unadulterated carbon material, by all means compost it. Litter with baking soda added isn't a good idea, because it's salty. Soil does not love salt. I also avoid anything with added scent, because the chemicals used in fragrances are not something I want transferred to my soil.
We'll soon find out what the carbon to nitrogen ratio is in the typical cat box. The litter is a heavy carbon source. We'll see how it is balanced by the cat waste (nitrogen), but I suspect we're going to have to add green stuff, like kitchen scraps, to get it to heat up and decompose. Here's how we'll know: if there's too much carbon (litter), the pile will just sit there, cold and unchanging.
Another thing I predict is going to be problematic about this new cat bin is that we'll be adding too little material, too slowly. This means it's going to be very, very slow pile. Mass creates heat. The best piles are big piles. This might have to be addressed by bulking up the pile with material from another source.
My final concern is odor. This is within whiffing distance of both our patio and the neighbor's window, so we don't want any cat box miasma drifting around. Initial precautions include covering the surface of the pile with straw, and covering the top of the bin with a board. We'll see how it goes.
Stay tuned for updates…
|recharging for mayhem
As new cat owners we are puzzled by a few questions regarding cat behavior. Maybe you can help us?:
1) What do cats do all night long when you're sleeping and they're not?
2) What is the irresistible allure of the flat object on the ground for cats? (e.g. a piece of paper, a yoga mat, the map you're trying to read, etc.) What makes them sprawl on said object and refuse to move?
3) Why must our cat make use the litter box when one of us is using the toilet? Why the sharing?
4) And speaking of the litter box, why is changing the litter so exciting for cats? Why does she rush to use the box the moment it's changed? (Actually, the first time she watched me change the box, she jumped into the empty box and peed, soaking her feet. Now I really hustle to get the litter in there.)
5) And while we're on bathroom matters, will the flushing toilet always be a source of wonderment, or will she grow out of it?
6) Would it be a very bad idea to push the kitty into the bathtub? She's always balancing on the sides, looking at the water. It's very tempting to give her a closer acquaintance with wetness.
7) What is it with cats and bags??? Don't kittens know that kittens and sacks have a very dark history? Ours not only loves a bag, she likes to be picked up and swung around in the the bag.
8) How is it that our cat gets off on watching mice on YouTube when she has never seen a real mouse in her life? Does the distinctive rodent silhouette come pre-wired branded in their brains?
9) Why does our cat find headphone cords so irresistibly tasty? We've lost 4 sets so far. Now that she can jump pretty much anywhere she wants, I have to keep my ipod in a drawer.
10) Why is our kitten intermittently possessed by the devil? Why is my lip bleeding?
And finally, the bonus question:
Why do cat people talk about their cats all the time?
Cat updates:
"Thanks a lot for sharing that valuable information. I like how you describe hedgerows." (Link to an exterminator in new york, commenting on a hedgerow post)
"WOW! That is really interesting about the radioactive contamination. How wonderful! Thanks for sharing!" (A link to a tree retailer, commenting on the recent sunflower post)
"I think it is not Satan's house plant. That plant is really good for our health. You shouldn't consider it as evil. Thanks for your insights anyway." (Link to some virtual office scheme, commenting on our post about the evil asparagus fern, which I refuse to believe is good for anyone's health.)
"The in the (sic) Barrel3-speed geatures (sic) a simple-minded color scheme with complex geometric frame design to form the utopia of cruisers Comfort Bikes" (Link to a beach cruiser bike, slapped on some totally unrelated post–no mention of bikes at all.)
Simple-minded color scheme? Form the utopia of cruisers? It's pure Dadaist poetry!
This one may be a robot, or ESL, or both:
"Usefulness and significance of your ides(sic) is awesome. Examine most wanted infinite treasure of online deals, coupons and much more for your dearest brand name. "(A brazen full URL followed this, and it was left on the Bee Hotel post.)
"Most wanted infinite treasure"–lovely! And which brand name is my "dearest brand name"? Arm & Hammer? Something to ponder.
All of us who are in business, whether we be writers or importers or dog trainers or electricians, are encouraged to have a web presence. Books and blogs tell us to go forth and comment upon blogs to raise our profile. So spam doesn't consist entirely of weird, faceless offshore corporations selling sexual enhancement drugs. Some of it comes from smaller businesses which have paid to have their URLs sprinkled among the the comments of the blogosphere–like those first two examples above from the exterminator and the tree retailer. And some, no doubt, are even generated by the business owner themselves.
Comments planted on our site by businesses are not offensive in their content, but are offensive in themselves, because they are irredeemably false: false discourse, false community. Community is something we treasure, and try to build, so we cannot let false comments stand.
Real human presence cannot be outsourced to sweatshops. It takes lots of time and a deft touch to be a positive internet presence. Not everyone can do it as well. I think the most important thing is to have good product, and professional interactions with your customers. They'll talk about you on the internet, even if you don't talk about yourself.
There's a little piece on us on the Good Magazine Blog right now. Good got our publisher's permission to offer a PDF excerpt of our book. By coincidence, they chose our lip balm recipe. So if you'd like a set of instructions a little more organized than Monday's meandering post, click here for the pdf.
|My calendula after-bath salve. The camera refuses to capture the deep butter yellow color
On Saturday, as a part of this long series on Calendula (here, here and here), I posted about infusing oil with herbs.
If you've got some herb infused oil, you can make that into a medicinal salve or balm. Salve is nothing but oil thickened by the addition of wax. I prefer beeswax salves, though there are vegan alternatives, like candelilla wax. They are used similarly.
Of course, you don't have to make salves with infused oils. Plain olive oil and beeswax are a powerful healing combination on their own, great for a no-nonsense lip balm or hand treatment. You can also use essential oils to bring herbal essences into a plain salve.
Once you know how to make salve, you can not only make skin salves, you can make lip balm and headache balm and stick deodorant and homemade cosmetics. It's a simple technique, but it opens a lot of possibilities.
My favorite herbal salve is made out of a mix of equal parts Calendula (pot marigold), chickweed (Stellaria media) and plantain (Plantago major) oils. These three work together to make an all purpose salve that is as good for gardener's hands as it is for diaper rash or skin scrapes or bug bites or dry cuticles or badly chapped lips or mild sunburn or whatever. I always have a jar on hand and I give jars to friends and family.
Yesterday I made a batch of pure Calendula salve, a big jar of after-bath moisturizer. Like body oil, salve works best as a moisturizer if applied to wet skin. Calendula extracts are found in a lot of high end cosmetics because it's a mild but effective skin herb. It's anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, soothing, and helps skin regenerate. I love smoothing it from my cat-scratched ankles and my mosquito-bit knees up to my sun-baked face and arms.
How-to after the jump.
The Secret of Salve
The only secret to salve is that it is so darned easy to make.
The only equipment you need is some kind of double boiler situation: a true double boiler, a heat proof bowl balanced over a sauce pan, etc. What I usually do is put a Pyrex liquid measuring cup into a small pan of water. I set the burner on to medium heat and bring the water to a very gentle simmer. Thus the oil heats without overheating or burning.
To the oil I add a little bit of organic beeswax, and continue to heat and stir until the beeswax dissolves. That's all there is to it, really, but I'll explain the details.
First, let's take a moment to talk about beeswax:
Where do you get the beeswax? You can order it online, just search "organic beeswax". I wouldn't buy it in craft or hardware stores unless it's marked as organic. Beeswax holds on to chemicals, so if the bees were working fields which were sprayed, traces of those chemicals could end up in your balm. Same goes for cannibalizing beeswax candles. I hope to get some nice clean wax from our hive soon, but in the meanwhile I buy my wax from Mountain Rose Herbs. It comes in both pellets and blocks. Pellets are a lot easier to work with.
Good organic beeswax smells heavenly, by the way, and that scent carries into the finished salve.
How much beeswax do you use? Making salves is all about simple proportions–the ratio of oil to wax. 4 parts oil to 1 part wax yields a firm salve. You'd want this sort of proportion for roll up lip balm tubes or roll up deodorants, cases where firmness is a virtue.
If you don't necessarily need a firm salve, you have a lot more latitude. 6 parts oil to 1 part wax makes a soft salve, better for scooping up with the fingers.
To tell the truth, even small amounts of wax wax will firm oil up to a sort of loose ointment consistency. For this Calendula bath salve I just made, I didn't bother to measure. I just added a heaping teaspoon of wax to my oil. The ratio must have been 10 or 12 to 1. I wanted something very soft.
So does this make sense? For instance, say I want to fill a particular tin with my skin healing salve. I measure the volume of the tin first, by spooning water into it. Say it holds six tablespoons. The easy math on this one would be to warm 5 tablespoons of oil plus 1 tablespoon of wax (5:1). That would work without resorting to teaspoons and fractions, but if I wanted a looser salve, I might short the wax measure.
Keep in mind it's very easy to repair a too-hard or too-soft salve. Just reheat it and add more wax or more oil as needed. You can get some sense of how a salve is going to harden up by dropping the hot liquid onto a cold plate–just like jam.
Measuring beeswax: Because salve measurements don't have to be precise, there's a few ways to measure out wax. Measuring by the spoonful is easiest–spoonful of oil to spoonful of wax. If you have wax in the pellet form, just measure the pellets by the spoonful. If you have a block of wax, shave the wax and press the gratings into a spoon.
Alternatively, you could measure wax by displacement: pour oils into a measuring cup, then drop in pieces of wax until the liquid level meets the desired measure. For example, for a 6:1 ratio, fill a clear measuring cup to 6 oz. and then add wax chunks until the volume rises to 7 oz. That equals 6 oz. of oil and 1 oz. wax.
Back to the melting:
Okay, so you're warming your combined oil and beeswax in a double boiler-type situation, as described above. Once the wax has warmed enough in to dissolve and vanish into the oil, take the oil off the heat.When using herb infused oils, you want to treat them gently and heat them as little as possible.
Add essential oils:
If you want to add any scent, or if you're into the healing properties of essential oils, this is the time to stir them in–right after you take the mix off the heat, but before you pour it.
For lip balms, I'll add a few drops of peppermint essential oil. Do be careful with peppermint oil, though–too much will make your lips burn. Think something along the lines of 2 drops of of peppermint essential oil per small tin of lip balm. It's easy to warm it again and add more if you want it stronger. Same goes for scents. Use a light hand. A few drops will do it in most cases.
Also, I should add that you can infuse oils with scented herbs, like dried lavender buds or rose geranium leaves or chamomile flowers. They're not as strong as essential oils, but very nice in salves. And a lot cheaper.
Here's a hint regarding essential oils: For inspiration regarding what kind of essential oils might go into different types of salves, check out the product line at Badger Balm.
Pour into jars:
Once you've stirred in the essential oils, pour the liquid salve into clean, dry jars or tins. Make sure your containers are dry and clean. Dirt or water could lead to contamination and mold.
Pour it fast, before the mix starts to cool. I find that the lip of a liquid measuring cup gives enough control to fill even those fiddly little plastic lip balm tubes.
Let the containers sit, open, until they are completely cool. Then lid them and label them.
Clean up:
The best way I've found to deal with the waxy grease residue (since I stopped using paper towels) is to shake a generous amount of baking soda into the dish and then rub it around. The soda lifts and traps the grease. It works like a charm.
Shelf life:
To be honest, I'm not sure what the expiry date is on these things. I've never had a salve go bad, but they do lose potency and scent. Also, a salve or lip balm that's being used is exposed to a lot more bacteria than one which is unopened. I'd say the unopened ones could last 6 months to a year, but once you open a tin or jar and start sticking your fingers in it, you should use it up in a few months.
Self promotional note: We cover all this stuff in much more detail in Making It: salves, lip balm, deodorant, etc. –with proper measurements and everything!
|Love that golden orange color. It's prettier in real life.
If the herb you're using is very fluffy, and as a result has a lot of air around it–imagine a jar of dry chamomile buds, for instance–you can fill the jar almost to the top with dried matter.
This not an exact science, so don't get worked up about exact quantities. The only thing you should keep in mind in terms of measurement is that you'll get less oil out than you put in. The herbs soak up a good bit of the oil, and don't give it all back. Also keep in mind that you don't need to make a ton of this stuff unless you're planning on selling it, or doing a big Christmas project. Salve stretches a long way. A jam jar–the kind that holds 1 cup–is not too small for an experimental go at this.
Of course you should not use oil that smells rancid or looks funny. Smell your herbs and oils as you're working with them! If you're familiar with them, you'll know easily that they've gone off.

Edzna's a smug queen in her eyes. All confident in her tribe despite just being a normal citizen there
Trying to break this bitchin art block, so I finished coloring some lineart from a few days ago. Here's more Monster!AU stuff! Vannie is a half crystal monster who is Solen's old friend but is a bitter grump and only visits Solen(Who's a shut in) every so often. Solen likes to take little chips of Vannie's quills for his research too.
"While traveling around the icy tundra, we heard the most bizarre noise; like a mix of a horn and bird coo. Quickly we decided to check around the area to find the source of the bizarre sound. Soon enough we were able to find it. With its head bobbing up and down at a fish splashing in the water, sat a large blubbery gryphon-like creature. It's head the body of a blue pigeon and odd large wings, obviously unable to fly with that seal-like body.
Its wings looked like giant fins that must have been of some use underwater. Perhaps it's a fast swimmer with those? Once it finally saw us lurking from a far. The large creature started to jerk its head up and down much like pigeons, making that weird sound and flopping over towards us. Curious as ever. The way it looked at us was nearly..Playful.
We are sure the creature we found must be an unknown species. The closest we could compare it to is the gryphon yet.. It was unique at the very least. After watching over the creature we noticed one big thing; despite its large size, the animal was very playful and clumsy, wobbling around and playing in the snow. It was friendly towards us too thankfully, offering us food every so often when it went for a swim."
Here's design promp challenge 2 of fini-mun's! This is my weird unique Gryphon. It's a Victoria Crown Pigeon mixed with an Elephant Seal! When looking at the feather I picked, it just made me think ice and water tundra. So I went with picking something that would blend with that vibe. Talk about a chub gryphon. Anyways, enjoy!

Patricia Bohach had nearly perfect attendance for the 13 years she served on one of the city's Design Review Boards charged with looking at the aesthetics of residential developments and exterior improvements.
However, a memo from the city Building Department about attendance records that was used by the Community Development Committee as it considered changing the structure of the city's review boards incorrectly showed Bohach had not attended any meetings in 2010.
After the information was released and an article appeared in Wauwatosa NOW, Bohach said she was no longer a board member in 2010, having previously filed her resignation from the board.
Attendance numbers during Bohach's time volunteering on the board back up her claim of regular participation.

Law of the Land
Law of the Land
Tara-Nicholle Nelson
Inman News
In the case Johnson v. Baum, Eric Johnson bought a home from David and Norma Baum in Des Moines, Iowa. The terms of the purchase contract provided that Baum had the duty to disclose any material defects in the property about which they knew or should have known, to Johnson.
The contract went on to say that if Baum breached this duty to disclose and Johnson prevailed in a lawsuit, Baum would be liable for Johnson's "reasonable attorney fees."
As part of the transaction, Baum provided Johnson with a form "Seller Disclosure of Property Condition and Lead-Based Paint Disclosure" that expressly stated it was intended to satisfy Baum's duty to disclose defects to Johnson under Iowa law.
After the transaction closed, Johnson had problems with water in the basement of the home, and filed suit against Baum, alleging that Baum had breached both Iowa law requiring disclosure of material defects, and the contractual provision mandating disclosure.
After a trial, the jury found that Baum had not breached the contract, but had breached the Iowa seller disclosure statute, and awarded Johnson $12,000 in damages.
Johnson filed a motion for nearly $40,000 in attorney fees. The sellers argued against an attorney fee award, on grounds that the statute the jury had found the sellers to violate did not authorize an award of attorney fees.
The contract, which did have an attorney fee provision, was found not to have been violated, argued the sellers. Johnson claimed that the contract incorporated the disclosure statement, which the sellers refuted.
The trial court ruled in Johnson's favor, finding that the disclosure statement and, thus, the statute's attorney fee clause, was incorporated into the purchase agreement, entitling Johnson to an attorney fee award -- though the trial court approved an award of only half the requested fees.
Baum, the seller, appealed the attorney fee award. The Iowa Court of Appeals upheld the trial court's decision.
The court explained that the purchase agreement expressly stated that "Sellers and buyers acknowledge that sellers of real property have a legal duty to disclose material defects of which sellers have actual knowledge and which a reasonable inspection by buyers would not reveal."
Johnson argued -- and both the trial and appellate courts agreed -- that the "legal duty" referred to in the contract was the same statutory duty to disclose material defects that the jury ultimately found Baum had breached -- the same statute that was expressly referenced in the faulty form disclosure Baum had provided to Johnson during the transaction.
When that the contract expressly incorporated the breached statute, Baum in effect agreed to pay Johnson's attorney fees in the event Baum breached not only the contract, but also the statute. Because the jury found Baum to have breached the statute, Baum was liable to Johnson for the attorney fees that the trial court had awarded. The Iowa Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's ruling.

Digital giant shows a 37 percent year-over-year increase in ad revenue.
Facebook's ad revenue totaled $872 million during Q1 2012, up 37 percent from the $637 million it took in during the same period the year before, according to its amended S-1 filing released today.
The digital giant's Q1 ad sales were down from the $943 million it accrued during 2011 Q4, a period typically bolstered by the holiday shopping season.
The Menlo Park, CA-based firm's Q1 total revenue reached $1.058 billion, up from $731 million in the same period a year ago. Net income totaled $205 million, down from $233 million during Q1 2011, likely due to increased investment by CEO Mark Zuckerberg's growing company. For instance, it said the number of full-time employees climbed 46 percent from last year to 3,539 during Q1, ending March 31.
According to the new filing, Facebook now claims 500 million mobile users. It also notes the social media platform has 532 million daily active users, which is up from 372 million a year ago. Additionally, its monthly active users went from 680 million last year to more than 900 million for Q1 2012.
Eight-year-old Facebook is expected to become a public company in mid-May.

4 Things Young Self-Made Millionaires Have In Common
Wall Street banks are obsessed with being the best, but a Bloomberg Surveillance segment explains why being "the best" and being number one might not be one in the same.
When asked about the costs of moving up the league tables, Brad Hintz, a bank analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. used a conversation he once had at Morgan Stanley to illustrate why no bank on Wall Street really wants be at the top.
Here's the transcription of what Hintz said (emphasis added):
"I walked into a Morgan Stanley CEO Dick Fisher's office, and John Mack was with him. Mack and Fisher were arguing about dead capital markets. And Fisher was worried about declining market share. Mack says, 'Dick, if you want me to sell $5 bills for $4.95, I can get a long line down sixth avenue.' Now what he's saying is, you can buy market share. But what it's going to do, is you're in essence giving away money to do it. So some market share is good, some market share is unnecessary and expensive."
It's a pretty simple concept, quality over quantity.
Not always easy to explain that to shareholders, though.

The Rays are "getting serious" about Corey Hart
Jul 12, 2010, 10:09 AM EDT
Back in my day "getting serious" meant that you had made her a mix tape but you hadn't moved past making out. I'm not sure what the kids mean by that today. And I'm not really sure what the Chicago Tribune's Phil Rogers means by it either, but here's what he's saying:
Rays appear to be getting serious about Brewers' Corey Hart. TB has pitching to trade with Futures starter Jeremy Hellickson ready.
I'm going to assume that means that the Rays would slide Hellickson into the big league rotation and trade someone else, because to trade Hellickson for Hart would be insane. There have been rumors about the Rays being willing to offer most of their starters at some point or another this year with the exception of David Price, so they could be shopping anyone. Whatever the case, the Rays could use a bat and Hart has swung a good one this year (.288/.349/.569).
We'll know if this rumor has any legs if the Rays invite Hart in to meet their parents.

Do they like him or do the "like him" like him? I got a note from my friend in homeroom who heard from his friend that Corey likes them back. The Rays should pass him a piece of paper that says "Check the box: do you want to go out with me? Yes __ No ___" I hear he has a reallly cool car, too.
Then the Rays should check his stats for the last 3 years and decide if this is more of a half-season thing or if Hart will turn into Pat Burrell.

I would we myself.

This is Hart's fourth real year in the majors and he's just 27. Hard to tell if this season is a "fluke" or he's just developing his talent/power. If so, the stats might not be much help.
Last year's stats won't tell you much, either. If I remember correctly (and I'm getting senile so don't count on it) Hart had an appendectomy in the second half and you don't know how sick he was before the surgery.

Mix tape. Corey Hart. No Sunglasses At Night reference. For shame.

A new source of water is needed to quench the thirst of Auckland's growing population and it's likely to come from the Waikato River.
A leaked resource consent application shows Watercare, which is owned by Auckland Council, wants to take 200,000 cubic metres of water a day from the Waikato to meet Auckland's demand over the next three decades.
The city is expected to reach a population of 2 million within 30 years.
Much of the growth is targeted for the Franklin and rural Papakura areas.
Watercare is also considering other options for water provision including a new dam across the Mangatawhiri Stream and construction of a desalination plant.
Auckland already receives about 10 per cent of its water supply from the Waikato and has a consent to take 150,000 cubic metres a day until 2032.
If the consent is approved, additional water could be pumped north from the river within a decade.
