MOORMAN MANUFACTURING COMPANY, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT AND CROSS-APPELLEE,v.NATIONAL TANK COMPANY ET AL., DEFENDANTS-APPELLEES AND CROSS-APPELLANTS.
APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Adams County; the Hon.
RICHARD F. SCHOLZ, JR., Judge, presiding.
We hold that recovery may be had for economic loss under the tort theories of strict liability in tort, negligence, and misrepresentation.
On July 26, 1978, Moorman Manufacturing Company filed a three-count complaint claiming that National Tank Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Combustion Engineering, Inc., designed, manufactured and sold various types of storage tanks. In 1966, the defendants manufactured and sold a particular bolted steel grain storage tank to Moorman for use at its feed processing plant in Alpha, Illinois. All three counts alleged that in the last few months of 1976 or the first months of 1977 a crack developed in one of the steel plates on the second ring of the tank.
Count I (sounding in strict liability in tort) alleged that the tank was not reasonably safe due to certain design and manufacturing defects. Count II (the misrepresentation count) asserted that the defendants had made certain representations, which were in fact untrue, in connection with the sale of the tank. Moorman purportedly relied upon these representations to its detriment. Count III accused the defendants of negligently designing the tank.
On October 10, 1978, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss all three counts of the complaint, alleging, inter alia, that the cause of action was barred by section 15 of the Limitations Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 83, par. 16). Following a hearing on defendants' motion, plaintiff filed an amendment to the complaint, adding count IV, claiming that it had relied upon an express warranty made by the defendants at the time of the sale.
In all four counts of the complaint, the plaintiff prayed for damages representing loss of use and cost of repairs and reinforcement of the tank.
On May 15, 1979, the defendants filed an amendment to their motion to dismiss. In this amendment, the defendants claimed that the plaintiff sought only economic loss, which is not available under any tort theory. Additionally, the defendants alleged that count IV was barred by the statute of limitations.
On November 1, 1979, the trial court specifically held that the plaintiff could not recover for purely economic losses under the tort theories advanced by the plaintiff, and that the loss of profits or income and the cost of repair to the tank were economic losses only. The court then dismissed the first three counts. As to count IV, the court found it was not barred by the statute of limitations since an express warranty existed which extended to future performance of the tank.
On motion by the defendants, the trial court entered an order pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 308 (73 Ill.2d R. 308), finding that an immediate appeal of its denial of the defendants' motion to dismiss count IV would materially advance the ultimate termination of the litigation. The trial court also found, under Supreme Court Rule 304(a) (73 Ill.2d R. 304(a)), that there was no just reason for delaying enforcement or appeal of its order dismissing the first three counts of the plaintiff's complaint. We granted the appeal, and the appeal was perfected.
On appeal, the plaintiff argues that it should be allowed to recover for economic losses under the tort theories advanced in its complaint. In addition to contesting this issue, defendants assert that the allegations of count IV (express warranty) were insufficient to invoke the future performance exception to the statute of limitations. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 26, par. 2-725.) The defendants also argue, as an alternative for affirming the trial court's dismissal of the first three counts, that the tort counts were barred by the statute of limitations. Finally, defendants contend that the storage tank in question was not a product and that the doctrine of strict liability in tort was therefore inapplicable.
• 1 The capstone question in this appeal is the issue of "economic loss." We bite the bullet. We hold that the plaintiff may recover for economic losses under the tort theories of strict liability in tort, negligence, misrepresentation. Additionally, the plaintiff's tort actions were not barred by the statute of limitations, and the storage tank was a product. We therefore reverse the trial court's dismissal of the first three counts.
We first address the issue of the recovery of economic loss in tort and then address the applicability of the statute of limitations to all four counts.
When a product fails to perform properly, the buyer may incur one or more of three kinds of harm: personal injury, property damage, or economic loss. The term "personal injury" is self-explanatory. Property damage consists of injury to the plaintiff's property other than to the product itself. Economic loss may be either direct or consequential. Direct economic loss occurs when a product damages itself or is unfit for the purpose for which it was sold. Such losses are generally limited to the price of the product. Consequential economic loss consists of an injury extrinsic to the product, such as lost profits or the loss of use of the product. See Note, Manufacturer's Strict Tort Liability to Consumers for Economic Loss, 41 St. John's L. Rev. 401 (1967).
As we observed above, the plaintiff's complaint alleges only economic loss — cost of repairs (direct economic loss) and loss of use of the product (consequential economic loss). In dismissing the plaintiff's counts alleging strict liability in tort, negligence, and misrepresentation, the trial court specifically relied upon the Second District's decision in Alfred N. Koplin & Co. v. Chrysler Corp. (1977), 49 Ill. App.3d 194, 364 N.E.2d 100. In that case, the plaintiff alleged negligent manufacture and breach of warranty and sought recovery for its expenses in repairing and replacing air conditioning units manufactured by the defendant. The court said the plaintiff's allegation of solely economic loss placed the case within the "narrow range of situations dividing tort theory from contract theory. * * * The line of demarcation between physical harm and economic loss in our view reflects the line of demarcation between tort theory and contract theory." (49 Ill. App.3d 194, 199, 364 N.E.2d 100, 103-04.) The court then proceeded to discuss cases which have divided on the question of whether economic loss should be recoverable in strict liability in tort absent any personal injury or property damage. Although the only tort count before it was the negligence count, the Koplin court purported to deny recovery for pure economic loss in any kind of tort action. Thus, the court's discussion is dictum as it relates to strict liability in tort and to misrepresentation.
The only other Illinois case facing the issue of recovery for purely economic loss in a tort action appears to be the First District's decision in Rhodes Pharmacal Co. v. Continental Can Co. (1966), 72 Ill. App.2d 362, 219 N.E.2d 726. The plaintiff in Rhodes was a marketer of drugs, cosmetics, and hair beauty products. It sought recovery for damages incurred because aerosol cans manufactured by the defendant had leaked. Without explanation, the court merely stated that the case did not meet the requirements for application of the strict liability in tort doctrine. Since the Rhodes court did not discuss the many policy issues on each side of the question we now face, that opinion is not persuasive, and we do not feel compelled to follow it. Wanderer v. Plainfield Carton Corp. (1976), 40 Ill. App.3d 552, 351 N.E.2d 630.
The debate over whether a cause of action lies in strict liability in tort if the plaintiff is alleging only economic loss began in the mid 1960's. In Santor v. A. & M. Karagheusian, Inc. (1965), 44 N.J. 52, 207 A.2d 305, the court which had led the way in attacking the privity requirement in a breach of warranty action (Henningsen v. Bloomfield Motors, Inc. (1960), 32 N.J. 358, 161 A.2d 69) again broke new ground. The plaintiff in Santor was allowed recovery for loss of the value of carpeting manufactured by the defendants, such loss arising because of unusual indelible lines in the carpeting that became visible soon after installation.
Only a few months after Santor, the California court which had pioneered the strict liability in tort doctrine (Greenman v. Yuba Power Products, Inc. (1963), 59 Cal.2d 57, 377 P.2d 897, 27 Cal.Rptr. 697), came to a conclusion contrary to Santor. In Seely v. White Motor Co. (1965), 63 Cal.2d 9, 403 P.2d 145, 45 Cal.Rptr. 17, the court, in dictum, explained that it would deny recovery under strict liability in tort for economic loss arising from the continuous galloping of a truck manufactured by the defendant.
In the 15 years since Santor and Seely, courts> of other jurisdictions have continued to split on whether purely economic loss is recoverable in a strict liability in tort action. We find the arguments in favor of recovery to be highly persuasive.
In a strict liability in tort action, we are concerned with the condition and quality of the product. (Christopherson v. Hyster Co. (1978), 58 Ill. App.3d 791, 374 N.E.2d 858.) The right of recovery should not depend upon the nature of the injury or the kind of plaintiff. A manufacturer who has failed to supply a product suitable for the purpose for which it was made and sold should be liable to the buyer who has paid the price that the manufacturer has demanded.
The strict liability in tort doctrine was initially used in cases in which a product had caused personal injury to the plaintiff. (Greenman.) The cases following Justice Traynor's dictum in Seely have required the presence of personal injury or property damage before a plaintiff may proceed under the strict liability in tort doctrine. Section 402A of the Restatement (Second) of Torts (1965) incorporates that limitation, providing in part:
"One who sells any product in a defective condition unreasonably dangerous to the user or consumer or to his property is subject to liability for physical harm thereby caused to the ultimate user or consumer, or to his property * * *." (Emphasis added.)
In States in which section 402A governs actions in strict liability in tort, courts> have construed "physical harm" as requiring either personal injury or property damage before a plaintiff may proceed. (Fredonia Broad-casting Co. v. RCA Corp. (5th Cir. 1973), 481 F.2d 781; Hiigel v. General Motors Corp. (Colo. 1975), 544 P.2d 983; Nobility Homes of Texas, Inc. v. Shivers (Tex. 1977), 557 S.W.2d 77.) We do not regard section 402A as a barrier to recovery in Illinois for economic loss under the doctrine of strict liability in tort. When our supreme court adopted that doctrine in Suvada v. White Motor Co. (1965), 32 Ill.2d 612, 210 N.E.2d 182, it based its result upon views expressed by courts> in other jurisdictions and by various commentators. That court has subsequently observed that Suvada and section 402A coincide (Genaust v. Illinois Power Co. (1976), 62 Ill.2d 456, 343 N.E.2d 465) and has sometimes relied heavily upon that provision. (Cunningham v. MacNeal Memorial Hospital (1970), 47 Ill.2d 443, 266 N.E.2d 897.) But, the court has never declared section 402A to be the source or the statement of our strict liability in tort doctrine. In fact, in Crowe v. Public Building Com. (1978), 74 Ill.2d 10, 383 N.E.2d 951, the court refused to be bound by the word "seller" in section 402A and applied the strict liability in tort doctrine to a lessor/defendant. We, as did the court in Crowe, decline to be bound by the language the Restatement drafters chose to use. We agree with the Crowe decision's approach of fulfilling the policy behind section 402A without being bound by its precise language.
In products liability actions in which the plaintiff has suffered either personal injury or property damage, courts> have generally also allowed recovery for economic losses. (See generally Suvada; 141 South Main, Inc. v. Magic Fingers, Inc. (1977), 49 Ill. App.3d 724, 364 N.E.2d 605; Hales v. Green Colonial, Inc. (8th Cir. 1974), 490 F.2d 1015.) To deny recovery for economic loss under strict liability in tort when there is no accompanying personal injury or property damage is an arbitrary distinction leading to opposite results in cases that are virtually indistinguishable. In the instant case, had the plaintiff alleged that a mere bushel of corn had been destroyed by rain water leaking into the tank through the crack, then it would have suffered property damage sufficient to allow recovery of economic loss. Likewise, if an individual had cut his finger while inspecting the crack in the tank, he would have suffered a personal injury allowing recovery for all types of harm.
Justice Peters' dissent in Seely pointed to the arbitrary line the majority was drawing. In his example, a traveling salesman who breaks his leg in a car accident caused by a defect in the car can recover, among other things, for economic loss in the form of lost income during his convalescence. But if that same defect merely causes the car to break down without injuring him or damaging his property, then strict liability in tort offers him no relief. We think that a distinction based on such fortuities as these examples suggest is not grounded upon defensible principles.
The Seely court justified incongruous results by suggesting that personal injury is more devastating to a plaintiff than mere economic loss so that the availability of the strict liability in tort remedy may properly be made contingent upon injury to the plaintiff. (See also Price v. Gatlin (1965), 241 Ore. 315, 405 P.2d 502 (concurring opinion).) But a personal injury is not necessarily a more overwhelming misfortune to a plaintiff than is an economic loss. Surely a custom farmer who buys a new tractor and then goes bankrupt because it will not run during his working season is more seriously harmed than a farmer who is incapacitated for two days from a personal injury caused by the same faulty tractor. A party suffering economic ruin and knocking feebly at the poorhouse door should not be denied the protection of the law simply because he was "fortunate" enough to escape physical injury.
Perhaps in realization of the harshness of the rules which have developed in this area, courts> have broadened the property damage exception to encompass certain cases which, in the strictest sense, involve only economic loss. (Note, Products Liability: Expanding the Property Damage Exception in Pure Economic Loss Cases, 54 Chi.-Kent L. Rev. 963 (1973).) For example, in Cloud v. Kit Manufacturing Co. (Alas. 1977), 563 P.2d 248, the Alaska Supreme Court allowed recovery under strict liability in tort for a mobile home that had caught fire and burned, allegedly because of a design defect which made it highly flammable. In so holding, the court distinguished a prior decision wherein it denied recovery in strict liability in tort to a plaintiff whose mobile home became uninhabitable a few months after purchase because of a multitude of defects. (Morrow v. New Moon Homes, Inc. (Alas. 1976), 548 P.2d 279.) We see no value in trying to draw a line between gradual deterioration (economic loss) and a sudden and calamitous event (property damage), and we fail to see a valid or reasoned distinction supporting the different results in Morrow and Cloud. Regardless of how the loss was occasioned, in each case the plaintiff sought economic loss — i.e., the value of the defective mobile home.
Efforts to distinguish between property damage and economic loss have sometimes resulted in absurd and unprincipled line drawing and inconsistent results. For example, the harm coming from a faulty herbicide was characterized as economic loss (lost profits from crops) in Eli Lilly & Co. v. Casey (Tex. Civ. App. 1971), 472 S.W.2d 598, but as property damage to crops in Monsanto Co. v. Thrasher (Tex. Civ. App. 1971), 463 S.W.2d 25, and in Geigy Chemical Corp. v. Hall (Tex. Civ. App. 1969), 449 S.W.2d 115. See also Iancono v. Anderson Concrete Corp. (1975), 42 Ohio St.2d 88, 326 N.E.2d 267, wherein the court said the plaintiff had incurred property damage when his concrete driveway developed small holes, apparently from the defective nature of the concrete. Under that analysis, it would be difficult to find any distinction between property damage and a direct economic loss.
A further complication arising from efforts to define when property damage has occurred is the question of ingredients or component parts causing damage to the larger product. In Hiigel v. General Motors Corp. (Colo. 1975), 544 P.2d 983, the plaintiff sought recovery in strict liability in tort after defective wheel lugs on his mobile home had sheared off, resulting in damage to the chassis. The plaintiff was able to recover for the business losses caused by the breakdown, the rationale being that the plaintiff had incurred property damage. Although the Hiigel court's result is commendable, we do not choose to engage in the fiction that a person buying a product has purchased a huge collection of separate products in the form of component parts. We believe it is more realistic to treat a plaintiff as having bought what he intended to buy — a single product. If some part of this product malfunctions to the detriment of the product's value, then the plaintiff should be able to recover without having to make questionable assertions that he has incurred property damage. See Note, Products Liability: Expanding the Property Damage Exception in Pure Economic Loss Cases, 54 Chi.-Kent L. Rev. 963 (1978).
In sum, we reject out of hand the hollow distinction that would allow a buyer to recover the value of an air conditioner in strict liability in tort if it has damaged his premises by leaking (Admiral Oasis Hotel Corp. v. Home Gas Industries, Inc. (1965), 68 Ill. App.2d 297, 216 N.E.2d 282 (a negligence case)), but deny recovery if the air conditioner has failed to cool the premises (Koplin). The manner in which a product's failure to perform happens to manifest itself should not be the decisive factor in determining whether a plaintiff has stated a cause of action in strict liability in tort. See Ribstein, Guidelines for Deciding Product Economic Loss Cases, 29 Mercer L. Rev. 493 (1978).
When a manufacturer has placed a faulty product into the stream of commerce and the buyer has paid the price demanded, the manufacturer who has reaped a profit is the most appropriate party to bear the loss. Illinois courts> have espoused this rationale for the strict liability in tort doctrine. (Suvada; Evans v. Control Products Corp. (1979), 73 Ill. App.3d 681, 392 N.E.2d 239; Johnson v. Marshall & Huschart Machinery Co. (1978), 66 Ill. App.3d 766, 384 N.E.2d 141.) We agree with the courts> that say this rationale is just as strong in economic loss cases as it is in cases involving personal injury or property damage. (See Santor; Cova v. Harley Davidson Motor Co. (1970), 26 Mich. App. 602, 182 N.W.2d 800; City of LaCrosse v. Schubert, Schroeder & Associates, Inc. (1976), 72 Wis.2d 38, 240 N.W.2d 124.) The manufacturer of a faulty product is in the position to spread the cost of that fault to other buyers or to insure against such cost. Of course, a manufacturer may put into the stream of commerce so many faulty products that it can no longer obtain insurance or must price its goods too high to compete in the marketplace. We cannot, however, see any evil in a rule of law that compels a manufacturer in one way or another to refrain from putting worthless goods onto the market.
In his dissent in Seely, Justice Peters suggested the adoption of a consumer-oriented approach whereby only consumers would be able to recover for economic losses in strict liability in tort. One basis for this distinction is the assumption that business purchasers would have cost-spreading abilities. Although concededly some buyers who are in business have the capability of distributing to their customers the cost of a product's failure, we are not persuaded that such buyers should be denied access to the strict liability in tort doctrine. We do not think it would be wise to require our trial courts> — at the beginning of all economic loss cases — to determine whether the buyer has a business of adequate size to justify leaving on it the burden of passing to its customers the cost of a faulty product. It is the manufacturer who first introduces the item to the marketplace and who is in the best position to see that it is properly designed and constructed. It seems to us that fundamental logic and horseback sense, as well as justice, dictate that the maximum cost-spreading ability exists at the source of the loss — the manufacturer. The law has degenerated to the level of abject absurdity when it implicitly condones the design, production and distribution of worthless goods.
We are not fearful, as Justice Traynor was in Seely, that allowing this kind of suit would subject manufacturers to damages of unknown and unlimited proportions. We would expect that most cases would deal with consumer items — buyers seeking the replacement cost of a "lemon." In most cases, consequential economic losses (such as lost profits) will not occur with consumer buyers. Thus, ...

1 loaf – No knead bread
1 cup – Cherry tomatoes
Handful – Basil leaves
1/2 cup – Hung curd
2 cloves – Garlic
Salt to taste
1 tsp – Fresh crushed black pepper
2 tbsp – Extra virgin Olive oil
A basic bruschetta is a toasted bread slice, drenched in olive oil, garlic pod rubbed over it, topped with tomatoes and basil. It is that simple, rustic but tastes heavenly… Trust me heavenly… But there can be lot of variations to this dish. This is one of them.
Crush the garlic pods and mix it with hung curd. Chop some basil leaves, salt and mix it too.
Slice the tomatoes into half. Keep half the amount aside and for the others, heat a tawa and lay the flat side of the cut tomatoes on the tawa. Drizzle olive oil over it and let the tomatoes roast. Let it brown well.
Slice 1/2 in thick slices of the bread and toast it. Generously brush olive oil over it.
Generously top the toast with some roasted and some non roasted tomatoes and chopped basil leaves. Season it with salt and pepper. Spoon the hung curd mixture over it and serve.

Went out today to reconnect the scupper plumbing, and, like any plumbing project, it took two trips to the store to successfully complete. I first picked up the proper tubing from West Marine, and after wrestling with the connections for a couple hours, came to the conclusion that I had the wrong size 'connectors', which would explain why the whole thing was so difficult to disconnect in the first place. So another trip to West Marine to pick up the proper size "L" and "T" joints, which made the whole thing much easier to put together. I adjusted the angles of the drainage system so that the water should flow much easier.
While I was in there, I took down the ceiling to the quarter berth, which last time, we discovered was a waterlogged piece of plywood. This made quite the mess, which I am content to clean up on our next visit. I also picked up three cans of VC-17 for our next scheduled maintenance project, painting the bottom.
Cold and windy out at the lake today, but there were a few sailboats actually out on the water, and more boats in their slips than last time. Getting closer.

In this day and age with more cameras carried than ever before I would say you are wrong. More reports can be recorded because of the net and we can see how poor the reports and evidence is.
Unlike you think I do believe there has to be life out there but because of a host of factors regarding time distance and evolution I don't think Mig from Zog is close enough to visit.
I don't know if you look at that thread I mentioned but one of those members that KNOW how to use a camera may get tge shot required.
It will never be captured with a camera, as it's not made of matter.

A Gili Island Beach Break (or don't believe the weather app)
When we saw the week of never-ending rain and thunderstorms forecast for Bali and the Gili Islands, we almost canceled our entire trip, in favour of the week of straight sun projected for Phuket. But since doing so, would've cost us hundreds of dollars, we stuck with our original plan, weather be damned!
Fortunately (or unfortunately?), the weather app on my iPhone was completely wrong. Aside from a single, dramatic storm that overturned boats and cut power to Lombok and Gili Air for a few days, it didn't rain at all.
Instead, we enjoyed days of blazing sunshine, chromatic seas and leisurely bike rides around the island.
We've long wanted to visit Indonesia's Gili Islands – 3 tiny droplets of land, a 30 minute boat ride off the coast of Lombok. Each of the 3 islands is known for it's unique character. Gili Trawangan or Gili T, the biggest of the 3, is the most developed and known as the "party island." Gili Meno is the most undeveloped, supposed to have the best beaches, and is the sleepiest of the islands. Gili Air, is somewhere in between, and that's where we ended up.
To say that Gili Air is quiet is an understatement. There are no cars or scooters allowed on the island, and a lot of places don't even have 24 hour electricity. Bicycles, horse-drawn carts (cidomos) and your feet are the only means of transportation. It only takes about an hour to walk around the entire perimeter of the island (yes, it's that small).
Our Favourite Experiences
Cerulean waters and blissed-out relaxation were what we were looking forward to most, but sandy beaches alone do not make for a great trip. At least for me.
Luckily, despite it's size, we found plenty to occupy us on tiny Gili Air. Here, some of our favourite experiences.
Decent coffee and a view at Scooperific
Gili Air has lots going for it, but good coffee definitely isn't one of them. There's plenty of grainy Lombok coffee on offer, but I don't know many visitors to Gili that wake up, craving a cup, and we were no exception. We do need our coffee though, so every day began with a rather desperate search for a decent caffeine fix.
After many decidedly average cups, we finally stumbled upon Scooperific. Gelato, crepes and decent, not amazing, made from capsule coffee, and a gorgeous view on their second floor was like finding an oasis in the desert.
$2 Meals at Warung Muslim
There's a series of beachside restaurants, serving seafood barbecue, pizza and Indonesian delights like nasi goreng, but to us the best meals to be had, were found in the centre of Gili at humble Warung Muslim.
Don't be put off by the shabby exterior. You'll be missing out on a flavourful mix of veggies, choice of meat or fish, tofu or tempeh and peanuts. And all for just $2 a pop. I'm not exaggerating, when I say that we indulged every single day.
Cycling through the Green Heart of the Island
The total absence of motorized traffic is one of the best things about Gili Air, and renting a bike and exploring the lush interior of the island is kinda blissful. I could definitely get used to cycling as my main mode of transport, especially when the surroundings are so beautiful.
Sunset and beanbags at Mowie's on the Beach
Indonesian sunsets are some of the most picturesque in the world, and watching one while sitting on beanbags and listening to chill out Cafe del Mar style tunes, was one amazing experience. And Mowie's on the Beach is the only place on the island where you can have it in quite that way. Get there early or risk missing out on a beanbag and a truly exceptional evening.
Where We Stayed
We started out our stay on Gili Air at Si Pitung Village. It took us about 15 minutes to walk there from the pier, but you can hire one of the cidomos, if you prefer.
For 400,000 IDR per night, there was a pool, and a simple breakfast of eggs, fruit, toast and terrible Lombok coffee included. Wifi worked, only by the pool, and not very well. I think that these bungalows must've been very nice a few years ago, but now they're starting to show their age. Though each room had an air conditioner, they were kind of pointless, because they didn't really work. Did I mention how crazy hot and humid it is in Gili?
After a few nights of suffering, we moved over to Villa Karang, which for the same price (negotiated), was a HUGE step up. Air conditioning that worked, excellent breakfast, an infinity pool and modern rooms. When the entire island lost power for 36 hours, I thanked my lucky stars we'd made the move, because Villa Karang had a generator. I'm pretty sure Si Pitung didn't.
If you're visiting in low season, I highly recommend that you simply show up, find somewhere to stay and negotiate the price upon arrival. You'll have your pick of places.
Getting to the Gili Islands from Bali
You can get to Gili using public boats, regular ferries, or fast boats. The majority of tourists travel using a pre-packaged land/fast boat ticket.
There are multiple ports and routes from Bali to the Gili Islands. There's not a huge difference in time or cost between the different options. The difference lies in how much time you want to spend on the water vs. land, as the crossing has a reputation for encouraging seasickness in even the hardiest of souls.
We asked our Ubud area hotel to recommend a fast boat company, and they took care of all the arrangements, including dropping us off at the pickup point early in the morning, at no extra cost. Travel by mini-bus to the port at Padang Bai took approximately 90 minutes. We waited around the port for approximately 30 minutes and then made the 1 hour journey to the Gili Islands. Our ride was relatively smooth, but I took some Antimo (motion sickness pills), which I purchased the night before in a drugstore, just in case. The cost of our 1 way ticket was 350,000 IDR each.
We booked our tickets the night before, without too much trouble, but the first company our hotel called was sold out, so if you're traveling in high season, definitely book in advance.
Getting to Lombok from the Gili Islands
For our return to Singapore (where we were connecting onwards back to Seoul), we flew directly out of Lombok's International Airport.
There are multiple ways of getting from Gili Air to Lombok, including slow boat, fast boat or speed boat. We elected to take the speed boat, which we reserved directly at the pier (make sure you book at the government office, not the tourist office across the street). The trip took 15 minutes and was completely refreshing.
When you arrive on the other side, in Lombok, you'll have to wade through a bit of water to get to land. A bunch of touts will assault you upon landing, and try to take your bag to shore for you (whether you want them to or not). Make sure you grab it yourself, unless you're willing to give them a tip. The boys will continue to bother you to provide taxis or onward service. Be firm with them, and if you do decide to go with one of their drivers, negotiate firmly, and make sure you're getting a private, air conditioned car.
The drive from Bangsal pier to Lombok Airport is about 2 hours. We paid 300,000 IDR and paid our driver directly at the airport, even though the boys wanted payment up front. Have the driver take you through Monkey Mountain, where a plethora of monkeys line the roads, waiting for food, that is offered to them by locals praying for good luck.
Have you visited any of the Gili Islands? Which is your favourite?

Squirrel Thoughts
When I saw both the challenges for The Paper Players, and Freshly Made Sketches this week, I knew that I could combine them both for a card that I needed to make. Here are the challenges:
As I have stated before on my blog, I love squirrels. We try to feed the real ones in the yard, and I have a bunch of nic nac squirrels in the house. So imagine to my distress, when Mackie came back from dog sitting on Sunday, saying that the dog had gotten a squirrel. The squirrel was still alive, so I immediately searched online to find a "rehab" place that would take the squirrel and try to save it.
I found the Animal Rehabilitators of the Carolinas (ARC) where I was put in touch with wonderful volunteer Dee Dee, that met me and took our squirrel. She was very nice and helpful, she even had two squirrels with her that she was going to release back into the wild. Dee Dee gave me a pamphlet with some great info on it. The ARC website also has a bunch of great info, they are donation driven, so If you would like to help, contact them.
I felt I needed to make a card for Dee Dee to go along with my donation, so here is my paper pieced squirrel. This is an old retired stamp set is called Super Squirrel. I have kept it over the years, and it was perfect for this occasion. The summer smooches DSP is nice and cheerful and fit the bill. I heat embossed an acorn with the vanilla scented clear embossing powder for some nice shine.
This sentiment from the super squirrel set is perfect for this card. It is stamped in lucky limeade and layered on the lucky limeade DSP from the summer smooches pack. A seam binding ribbon bow (in pear pizzaz) really makes it cute.
There you have it , a quick and simple thank you card, which is truly heart sent. Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you were inspired, enjoy!
Stamps: Super Squirrel
Paper: Summer Smooches, rich razzleberry, lucky limeade, whisper white
Ink: rich razzleberry, lucky limeade, versamark
tools: heat tool, paper snips, vanilla scented embossing powder, seam binding ribbon

Great story! You are nuts for squirrels I see! Always nice to extend your love of paper crafting to someone who is not expecting it, and she's bound to adore this squirrel as much as you! But I think you'll miss him, maybe you should make another to keep on the shelf. Push those nick knacks over and give him a home! Love it!

Aw, I have a soft spot for squirrels too and this is just the cutest thing! I don't think I ever paid much attention to this stamp before, but used this way, it certainly got my attention this time.
We grew up on a farm with no nut trees....so truthfully, I never saw a squirrel until I went to the college in the city. I was going crazy about all the squirrels and my roomies thought I was looney because I had never seen them before!!!!
Have a blessed Easter, Sandie!!

My Husband and I feed the squirrels on our back deck. The blue-jays are also fed the peanuts too! We have our squirrels named too! I am so looking for a good squirrel stamp. When I see one I like, I will get it then! Thanks for sharing, I love squirrels too!

9 May 2017: A University of Canberra academic whose work has reduced the number of women experiencing physical trauma during childbirth has been recognised at the 2016 ACT Quality in Healthcare Awards.
Clinical Chair in Midwifery Professor Deborah Davis and her team at the Centenary Hospital for Women and Children received the recently announced Innovative Models of Care Award.
The team developed a multidisciplinary intervention program to reduce the number of cases of women suffering severe trauma or tears to their perineum during labour.
The area prone to tearing is the skin between the vagina and the anus.
Professor Davis said the program, which was implemented last June, has halved the rate of complications at the hospital.
"Receiving public recognition is the icing on the cake for us, but the biggest benefit is seeing fewer women walk away with injuries," Professor Davis said.
"That's enough to motivate us and that's the only reward we need, but of course it's lovely to be recognised publicly for the work."
The interventions developed as part of the program include applying warm compresses to the perineum, reducing the use of forceps and other devices in the delivery of the child, and positioning women upright during labour.
"Warm compresses help to comfort women during child birth and they've been proven to have a really positive effect on reducing the number of tears to a woman's perineum," Professor Davis said.
"Limiting the use of surgical instruments and not having women give birth on their backs are also proven methods of reducing the risk."
Multidisciplinary workshops were held to educate hospital staff about the program. Professor Davis said the reaction was overwhelmingly positive.
"The workshops were evaluated really well and everyone enjoyed learning together," she said. "We encouraged staff to share their tips and ideas, so we had medical doctors learning from experienced midwives."
The University's Dean of the Faculty of Health, Professor Diane Gibson, congratulated Professor Davis and her team on their achievement.
"Professor Davis's Clinical Chair in Midwifery is jointly fund by the University of Canberra and ACT Health, bringing together the worlds of research and clinical practice to improve health outcomes for patients," Professor Gibson said.
"Professor Davis is an exemplar of what it means to be a clinical chair and our students are fortunate to have her as both a role model and a mentor."

Dancer is a work of fiction about the life of Rudolf Nureyev. I am a balletomane. I first became enchanted with the art form when I read a book about Vaslav Nijinski in high school. Then my aunt took me to see the Royal Danish Ballet perform Coppelia at NYC's Metropolitan Opera House. I was hooked. While I never got to see Nureyev dance, SHE did. And seeing Nureyev with Margot Fonteyn was the catalyst that ignited HER interest in ballet. Today my son is training to be a professional ballet dancer, and I have a special interest in male danseurs.
Going from Nijinski to Nureyev, you see an obvious connection. It's not about their nationality, however, it's their state of mind. They were both men obsessed with their art. It drove Nijinski to madness. I believe Nureyev suffered from another form of mental disability. Dance became so much a part of him, that he did not relate well to others. He seemed to lack empathy. His best friends, Erik Bruhn (who was his lover) and Margot Fonteyn, did indeed love him, but it perhaps it was because they understood and respected his passion for dance.
McCann captured Nureyev quite well. There was a real sense of his dance-focus, and his self-centered personality. The author also expertly lays the backdrop of Soviet Russia, along with the staggering fame, paranoia and hard-hitting party life that led Rudi down a perverse path that would eventually kill him. My only complaint was the way the McCann changed narrators – often and in a confusing way. There were many times it took me pages to figure out who was telling the story.

Irina is the best! I started going to her as per my chiropractor's recommendation for treatment on life-long neck and headache issues that now no longer plague me on a daily basis. She's also helped me deal with acne, a sprained ankle, food allergies, stress, and yes, even heartbreak. She always makes me smile, too! I had never tried acupuncture before and I really do believe that it works, thanks to Irina. If I ever move away, I hope I can find another acupuncturist as good.
Meagan K.
I am a physician and firm believer in a western medicine, but when it failed to produce results in my own life I resorted to acupuncture. Irina Logman came highly recommended and in a few sessions I was able to function again. Her bedside manner, skills and understanding of disease and human body are second to none. She made a believer out of me.
Alexander L.
Amazing acupuncturist!!! Irina is great and I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great treatment.
Mariya B.
After going to so many different therapists in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and New Jersey, I finally found a REAL therapist. Not only is Irina proficient and effective in her treatment and care but she is also caring, responsible, efficient and pleasant. I had several acupuncture sessions with Irina and I already have felt the difference that it had on my health. I feel much better and I am always looking forward to my next visit. She has great beside manner where Irina is friendly yet very professional. She never rushes you out of the office and never makes you feel like you are just another 'number'. It is more than evident that she truly cares about her patients and about her work; she makes it a point to make sure that her treatments are effective and are helping you. All I can say is try it out yourself and you will definitely NOT be disappointed!!!!
Bill E.
Whenever I feel back pain, I go to Dr. Logman and it always helps! She knows her work like no one else! Very caring and professional! I highly recommend!!
Алена Е.
Irina Logman is a Great Acupuncturist on 57 Street in NYC. I have been going to her for over 7 months.She helped me with my stiff neck, my shoulder after a ski accident, my high blood pressure and stress. Shes helps my friend who has a real bad lower back pain. She is amazing and kind.Has locations in Brooklyn and 2 Manhattan locations.She also used acupressure beads for weight loss, that work and healing forks.She accepts most medical insurance that has acupuncture benefits.
Treatment takes around 20 minutes and new age music helps the time fly by. There is no pain either.
Jane R.
I had a great experience with Dr. Logman, very professional, and helpful. Definitely a recommend !!!
Irina K.
Irina is WONDERFUL!!!! I started seeing her last year for some fertility issues. Soon after I became pregnant she treated me for all of the side effects of the hormone treatments. Once I made it through my first trimester, I continued to see her for all of the uncomfortable side effects of pregnancy! She treated me right up till the day before our son was born. I don't think I could have made it through the entire pregnancy process without her knowledge, experience and kindness to get me through. I would recommend her to anyone who has any issues with the pregnancy process, you will NOT be disappointed!

After having my first baby, we tried for another baby for two years with no success. I knew that my chances were slim given that I was 40, so I went on to see Dr Grazi at Genesis fertility center in Brooklyn. I did 2 IUIs and one IVF cycle with no success. I decided to give acupuncture a try so I started weekly sessions with Irina Logman, L.Ac. The next cycle of IVF was a lot different! Now I am a proud parent of twins!!!
Jackie D.
My husband and I tried to have a baby for over a year. Being that I am only 27, I could not understand why we had difficulties. Although I had a lot of minor health problems there was nothing wrong with my reproductive system. I did 2 IUI cycles with Dr Seifer at Genesis with no success. I had only one more chance at IUI before going for more aggressive treatments. A friend of mine referred me to Irina Logman. After two month of acupuncture treatments with her I went for my last IUI and last month I gave birth to my little girl and a beautiful boy! Not only do I have my beautiful children now I also feel healthier then ever before.
Brianne R.
I have had severe migraine headaches for years, so naturally I was very concerned once I got pregnant. I was afraid to take any of the prescribed medications out of fear of hurting the baby. I was really in pain with these weekly migraines. Dr. Logman saved me and my baby. After only eight acupuncture treatments, my migraines practically disappeared. Today, I have a healthy baby and my sanity!

ICYMI, here's your daily dose of vital information for your everyday life.
Charleston Shooter Almost Did Not Go Through With Shooting. Dylann Roof, initiator of the Mother Emanuel AME Church massacre, told police officials he "almost didn't go through with it because everyone was so nice to him." Roof, 21, sat in on the Wednesday bible study for nearly an hour before he opened fire, killing nine people including pastor and South Carolina State Senator Clementa Pinckney. When questioned about his motives, Roof stated 'you (Black people) rape our women and you're taking over our country. And you have to go." Roof was arrested in Shelby, North Carolina on Thursday morning. On Friday, he was charged with 9 counts of murder and possession of a firearm. Bond was set at $1 million. South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has state publicly that prosecutors should seek the death penalty. [NBC News]
150 Years Later: Juneteenth Is an American Holiday. June 19 marked the 150th anniversary of the official abolition of slavery in Texas. Texas was the first state in the Union to establish Juneteenth as a holiday in 1980. As of May 2014, 43 of the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia have recognized Juneteenth as either a state holiday or a day of observance. The general connotation behind Juneteenth is that it is a "Black holiday," but as Kenneth C. Davis wrote in the New York Times, "that perception unfairly diminishes the fundamental significance of Juneteenth. The day should be recognized for what it is: a shared point of pride in the symbolic end of centuries of racial slavery — a crime against humanity and the great stain on America's soul. Juneteenth completes the circle, reaffirming 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" as the rights of all, not a select few.' [New York Times]

NSW Waratahs expecting vengeful Crusaders in grand final rematch
Five-eighth Bernard Foley, who kicked the winning penalty goal to clinch a thrilling one-point win and the Waratahs' maiden Super Rugby title in Sydney 10 months ago, warned his teammates would need to dig deep to stave off a Crusaders team seeking revenge.
"For sure they'll have a bit of a chip on their shoulder, it's the one that got away I suppose so that's how they'll be thinking," Foley said. "We've got to go there with the same attitude ... because they can't have the mortgage on the pride or the resentment, to come back and hurt us. We've got to match them there and out-play them that way."
While the Waratahs shored up a spot in the top six with Saturday's 33-18 win against the Sharks, the Crusaders languish in ninth spot on the ladder and a six-six win-loss ratio with four rounds left in the regular season. But the nature of their 58-17 demolition of the Reds two weeks ago and a close loss to competition leaders the Hurricanes suggest while the seven-time champions are leaving it later than usual, they are still fixing for a trademark strong run home to the finals.
"When they're on, they've demolished a couple of teams big time," NSW coach Michael Cheika said. "It's going to be a big, physical game. A lot's going to be around ball control. I genuinely think they fancy themselves to come here and beat us, so it's going to be a big challenge for us."
The game will be an emotional moment for captain Dave Dennis, who missed the Waratahs' finals campaign last year with a knee injury. It will also be a crucial opportunity for the Waratahs to play in the comfort of a home ground before they head to South Africa for two weeks.
Although they have won one more game and lost two fewer than conference leaders the Brumbies, their ACT rivals have amassed a whopping 10 bonus points to the Waratahs' four. "It's showing on the ladder too, we've won two more games than our nearest rivals and we're only two or three points ahead of them," Cheika said. "Just wins may not be enough. Performance is key, it's what we're looking for and for longer periods of time."
It is a good time for Foley to find some form. After struggling with the boot and general game management in recent weeks, the Test No.10 kicked seven from seven against the Sharks and helped play a more decisive role in the Waratahs' attack.
"We changed a couple of little things in our game to get him into the game more and I think that he was getting the ball at the right depth and the right time," Cheika said. "He made many more runs himself, so he was threatening himself with the ball, and he also had good distribution. I was really happy with his match."
Foley said he had been working on adding some length to his goal-kicking this season, a role traditionally left to teammate Kurtley Beale, but that he was not prepared to sacrifice his accuracy at the same time. He and fullback Israel Folau also produced some quality kicks in general play, an attribute the defending champions' game has been sorely deficient in recently.
"What we'd been doing, trying to get the forwards to set the platform, hadn't really worked for us, and the Force were able to pick us off quite easily last week, and the Brumbies before that. It was a slight change, we didn't revolutionise our game, but hopefully we can get the ball into the playmakers' and the running backs' hands a bit more."

When you choose colors for a visual aid, remember that people associate feelings and concepts with each color:
Green can signify growth and movement.
Blue, the most universally liked color, can convey calm. On the other hand, it can look institutional. Blue also fades faster than any other color.
Red can stand for power, energy, or danger. Keep in mind that red means debit spending to accountants—and that on a flipchart, it is difficult to see from a distance.
Yellow is usually thought of as positive, and so works well for highlighting something against a dark background. If you're thinking of using it as a background color, though, you should know that more people dislike yellow than any other color.
Purple has spiritual meaning for some people.

From the Wilbur D. May Museum:
Thanksgiving is just weeks away, but sadly not all Reno residents will have a feast to enjoy. Last year the Food Bank of Northern Nevada distributed more than 12.8 million meals to low-income children, seniors, and families. You can help make sure that no one in our community goes hungry this holiday season, during the second annual Entry for Entrees Food Drive at the Wilbur D. May Museum.
Last year we collected 77 pounds of food – and we want to double that this year! In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving just bring two canned or boxed non-perishable food items and you'll receive free admission to the Museum. Kids will also receive a special holiday scavenger hunt.
The Wilbur May Museum is home to Reno's most unique collection of rare artifacts from around the world and taxidermy.
The Entry for Entrees Food Drive is Wednesday, November 13 – Sunday, November 24 at the Wilbur D. May Museum, Rancho San Rafael Regional Park at 1595 N. Sierra Street in Reno.
Admission is 2 canned or boxed non-perishable food items.
For more information call (775) 785-5961 or go to www.maycenter.com.
Located within Rancho San Rafael Regional Park, the Wilbur D. May Center is managed by the Washoe County Community Services Department and continues to receive generous support from the Wilbur May Foundation.

The strong winds yesterday brought delays and cancellations to flights and shipping. Trees, shop windows, awnings and blinds and broken umbrellas were the main casualties of the winds that blew mainly in the north of the peninsular.
In the Valencian Community , the the 80km/h winds damaged aerials, roof tiles and lampposts.
The National Institute of Meteorology said yesterday that the wind storm will diminish " slowly ". An anticyclone will bring a sunny weekend and with " smooth and pleasant " temperatures.
I'm pleased to say that the green mesh which we put up to replace the last fencing has survived intact.
The mesh is the third lot of fencing we have put up. The first was natural cane fencing which I fastened with garden ties. Apart from blowing down it discoloured badly.
We replaced that with plastic cane which fixed with nylon cable ties. They deteriorated with the sun and snapped so I replaced them with galvanised wire. One night the whole lot started coming down so we went out at 9pm in the middle of the storm and took the lot down.
In fairness though, compared with the flooding that England is suffering again, a day of strong winds is nothing. We feel sorry for our friends who live in Gloucester where they are still recovering from the summer floods.

We have to remove the gold, platinum and silver before the water that runs over the earth's mantle can be used to generate free electricity.
The water from the seas and Rivers of the earth percolates down until it meets the earth's core. There it forms the mantel! And the earth spins around this water, which is at 250° C and 8.4 atmospheres. Just liquid-because of a higher pressure.
In places this metal heavy water collects in underground mantle pockets are only 10 metres below the surface. At this depth of the metals are not yet started precipitating out-to form ore deposits.
This water forms the source of every river on earth. Any care is some gold dust with it! Which is why panning for gold works.
We use ground sonar, to tracking the underground river source back, until we find a liquid filled mantle pockets at least 10 meters below the surface of the earth. We drill down for this water.
It goes up to the surface, we of metal dust in it! Here the gold is a pollutant we would rather was not here. No big problem! We pass it through a ruggedized Dyson dry cleaner, and this extracts all the heavy metal powder.
Which we sell on to process into ingots. 40% gold! Within two years will end up varying it in disused mine workings-as it will have no value or use!
Mankind has extracted 0.5% other goals from the deep, through his mining and gold panning. We can double Lewis in only two years! There are already 12,000 trial geothermal mining plants around the world-which is why the price of gold is crashing!
It will never increase ever again. We are outstripping the demand for gold by a factor of 10,000. I am not interested! An induces in the power.
We pass the clean steam through a steam turbine, and generate electricity. We use a tiny fraction to drive a Carnot heat pump. To condense the steam into liquid water, and return 85% of the system heat to the inlet steam.
The more steam we extract, the more gold we get! But I prefer steam have 1000° C rather than 240 to generate electricity.
Free electricity and gold! We have no fossil fuel bound. We produce no carbon dioxide. And definitely no hyper toxic nuclear fission from uranium: the technology of hades.
I great grandchildren27 will still be paying for the folly of the 20th century allowing nuclear fission to produce electricity. And toxic waste which will remain lethal for 100,000 years. The cost of handling the radioactive waste will be 200 times the cost of generating electricity by conventional power.
But here we use earth power. Free at source. We gold and platinum in it's superheated water!
