Product Description
A collection of beautiful blooms for embellishing clothes, accessories, cushions and throws. It's the perfect way to use up scraps of yarn or practice with novelty yarns and this one really is a 'must have' book. You can use the knitted and crocheted flowers and leaves to decorate clothing, hats, bags and belts, embellish home accessories or make a beautiful bouquet as an unusual display piece. Choose from simple spiral roses, pretty poppies, elaborate layered blooms and fabulous felted flowers. The flowers are beautifully arranged on the pages, with stitched leaves and embroidered stems. They're also cross-referenced to a separate section featuring clear pattern instructions and information on yarn requirements. You'll find plenty of inspiration for embellishing your finished flowers with beads, buttons, sequins and embroidery plus ideas for using them in a range of fun ways, from unusual jewellery to decorating gift-wrapped packages.-Machine Knitting Monthly The name Lesley Stanfield is well-known in knitting and crochet circles. In this book, she presents a colourful selection of flowers. You'll find exciting ways to use them as embellishments. This is an attractive book, with a simple but effective layout, good photography and clear instructions. A comprehensive introduction leads into the book explaining materials and equipment, basic knitting and crochet know-how and much more. A directory of flowers follows. This begins with a beautifully photographed close-up of each flower. Favourites include many roses, carnations, tradescantia, clematis, viola, lavender, borage, poinsettia, poppy, sunflower, hellebore and many more including butterflies. There is also a leaf and fruit and vegetables section. The flowers are portrayed in sumptuous colours. Just pick the one you want and move onto that page to learn how to knit or crochet your chosen flower. The instructions are organised by skill level. Charts are provided for the crochet projects. In addition, you'll find a series of projects for using your flowers. A knitted daisy enhances a peg bag, whilst crocheted roses look sweet on an evening bag. Use a poinsettia to enhance Xmas gift wrap. There are ten projects in all. I think part of the fun of this book is in thinking up more ways to use the flowers as embellishments or even creating more flowers from your own imagination.-KarenPlatt.co.uk At last a stylish, contemporary knitting AND crochet book on flowers (and veg!). Unlike other books which revive old patterns, [this book] generates a plethora of new, colourful and exciting designs. The book gives inspiration for the complete beginner (a short how to guide at the beginning) with clearly labelled basic designs for the novice to try. And for the adept knitter, patterns honestly labelled as intermediate to advanced. The use of colour combinations is excellent, the cover showing an enticing layout, stylishly displayed. An absolute must for all makers - a great mix of knitting and crochet; the combination of both skills being a winning formula. It is great value for GBP10.99 (approx 10p a pattern!) and a lovely square, handbag-sized book. It is equally inviting for the groovy teenager wanting to customise their lapel with a coloured garland, to women of all ages, inspired to add a contemporary corsage to their outfit or household items.-Craft Business Adorn anything and everything in sight with these beautiful knitted and crocheted flowers. As the cover shows in glorious color a vast array of flowers can be created to decorate holiday items, clothing, furnishings, presents and more. Not only flowers, but a few leaves, butterflies and vegetables too, as well as mistletoe and acorns. This is not a primer aimed at teaching the beginner to knit and crochet, but a book aimed at those who can already do these things to a reasonable standard. To jog the memory however there are useful tables of abbreviations, laundering symbols and some diagrams going swiftly through some stitches. The crochet patterns are shown with charts, so anybody not sure how to use these might be well advised to learn how to read them elsewhere, although the symbols used are given and explained. Knitting patterns are written out in the traditional manner. All the flowers are shown full size and looking their best on a series of pages first so you can choose easily what you want to make, then there is a section on knitted ones and a section on crocheted ones. These are arranged in skill levels, basic, intermediate and advanced. At the back is another section of projects to display your blooms, although sadly these are just shown and briefly described and you have to make up the patterns yourself or buy blanks. Decorate a peg bag with a fresh daisy to cheer up washdays, adorn a gift box with a poinsettia or crochet some forget-me-nots to use as buttons and trim for a baby's cardigan. This is a good example of a Search Press book - lovely photos, plenty of direction as to what to buy, instructions for making up and a gallery of master works. Also, an unusual and interesting subject not covered elsewhere. One for the keeper shelf.-Myshelf.com A delightful collection of blooms, ideal for decorating clothing, accessories and homewares. Choose from simple spiral roses, pretty poppies, elaborate layered flowers, and fabulous felted blooms, all of which are a perfect way to use up scraps of yarn. You will also find plenty of ideas for embellishing your flowers with beads, buttons and sequins.-Knit Today This book is flying off the shelves - and for good reason. Lesley Stanfield has created a pattern in this book for every flower imaginable, from forget-me-nots to snowdrops. And then there are the incredible fruit and vegetable knitting patterns, including lemons, grapes, carrots and surprisingly beautiful asparagus. There are project ideas too, which give practical applications for these lovely decorative details. This book is a brilliant labour of love, and if you've never thought of knitting what grows in your garden before, we bet you won't be able to resist once you've seen this.-AllAboutYou.com As with certain DIY products, this book provides exactly what it says on the label. And then some more, since there are also leaves, vegetables, butterflies and fruit in addition to the flowers. The beaded blackberries look edible they are so plump and glossy. The crochet instructions are both written and charted. The pattern for each flower is only in one technique, so if you wanted to crochet the lavender or knit the pansies, you will have to try and adapt from knitting and crochet respectively. The collection goes over some of the same ground as Suzann Thompson's Crochet Bouquet (Lark Books) but with charts for the crochet and different interpretations where the flowers are the same. There's room for both on my shelves, but if I had to choose I'd pick the "100 Flowers" because of the crochet charts, the lavender bunch and the single, comprehensive index that Suzann's book lacks. Lesley Fidler-SlipKnot If you're looking for small projects to use up oddments, you'll love what this book has to offer. While the majority of the book covers a comprehensive directory of flower patterns, there are also designs for leaves, vegetables and insects, with a butterfly, bumblebee and a ladybird all included! Whatever you're favourite bloom, this book is sure to cover it. Towards the back there are also ideas on how to use them to embellish clothing, accessories and gifts. With versatile and simple designs, this book will become a staple in your knitting library.-Knit Today Imagine a world where you get to do what you love every single day. In a world where you wake up and think ooh which beautiful flower shall I crochet todayA". In a world where you wander into your lovely summer garden - probably skipping - without a care in the world just waiting to be inspired by the next wonderful bloom that takes your fancy - aaahhhh, well, maybe not, but I much like to think that is the life of Lesley Stanfield the talent behind the beautiful new book 100 flowers to knit & crochet. Spread with a colourful selection of bright and breezy blooms on the cover, reading 100 flowers to knit & crochet is like looking through a 'chocolate box guide' leaving with you with the same agonising dilemma of which one to pick first! From peonies, to daffodils, lavender to pods of peas and ladybirds, author Lesley has created not only a gorgeous book to sit proudly on your coffee table but a wonderful guide to making step by step blooms that will last all year round. The book begins with a list of essential kit and techniques and gives you all the crochet and knitting symbols needed to start any project. For those new to yarn there are easy knitting and crochet illustrations to make sure you feel confident to get started. Followed afterwards is the directory of flowers, which sees all 100 projects laid out with clear photography, each tempting you to be the first to try. Each flower, insect, leaf or vegetable is then listed with instructions with the book being laid out for all abilities with knitting and crochet patterns from basic designs though to intermediate and advanced level. Lesley has brought the book to a lovely conclusion by picking ten of her favourite flowers to use as projects (thank goodness I hear you cry, so many flowers but what do we do with them!) from embellishments, bags adornments and even ideas for place settings, it really is a joy to read and judging by the coos of those who have spotted the book in my bag the perfect excuse to pick up some yarn.-blog.themakingspot.com The lovely people at Search Press sent me 100 Flowers to Knit and Crochet, by Lesley Stanfield. Readers of my blog will know that she is my favourite pattern designer of all time. This book does not disappoint. It is full of beautiful pictures of stunning, life like, knitted and crocheted flowers. One hundred of them to be exact. The patterns are set out into competency levels and are really easy to follow. I especially love the diagrams for the crochet patterns. As most artistic people find it harder to follow written instructions these visual instructions are a breath of ... --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Grayson (Paperback)
The true story of a miraculous encounter between a teenaged girl and a baby whale off the coast of California
It was the dark of early morning; seventeen-year-old Lynne Cox was swimming her last half mile back to the pier after a long workout when she became aware that something was swimming with her. The ocean was charged with energy as if a squall was moving in; whatever it was felt large enough to be a white shark coursing beneath her body. In fact, it was a baby gray whale. Lynne quickly realized that if she swam back to the pier, the young calf would follow her to shore and die from collapsed lungs. On the other hand, if Lynne didn t find the mother whale, the baby would suffer from dehydration and starve to death. Something so enormous the mother whale would be at least fifty feet long suddenly seemed very small in the vast Pacific Ocean. This is the story part mystery, part magical tale of what happened.
About the Author
LYNNE COX has set records all over the world for open-water swimming. She was named a Los Angeles Times Woman of the Year, inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame, and honored with a lifetime achievement award from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is the author of Swimming to Antarctica, which won an Alex Award. She lives in Los Alamitos, California.

ODT /directory
An Otago ACC support group has sent a draft report to the
United Nations over claimed non-compliance with a UN
Convention on the rights of the disabled.
The support group, Acclaim Otago, last year received a
$10,000 New Zealand Law Foundation Shadow Report Award to
prepare the report.
The group aimed to present the report to the UN on New
Zealand's compliance with the Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), organisers said.
New Zealand ratified the convention in 2008.
Shadow reports enable domestic organisations to draw
attention to issues New Zealand has excluded from its formal
report to the UN on its compliance.
The shadow report focused on experiences of injured New
Zealanders, particularly in areas to do with privacy, access
to justice, integrity of the person and meaningful vocational
Acclaim Otago spokeswoman Denise Powell said the draft report
highlighted the effect of compliance problems in human terms.
The process of presenting the shadow report was ''on track''
and further work would be completed before July to ''enable
us to proceed with the full shadow report'', as envisaged in
the law foundation grant.
It was still intended that the draft report's main author,
Warren Forster, and Dr Powell would travel to Geneva in
September to present that report to the United Nations CRPD
Shadow reports enable domestic organisations to draw
attention to issues New Zealand has excluded from its formal
report to the United Nations on its compliance.
Dr Powell said by raising New Zealand's ''lack of
compliance'', Acclaim Otago aimed to reform the law and
improve the experiences and outcomes for people with
disabilities caused by injury.

"Lovely bread"
29 June 2015
My husband and I just love this bread mix.I bake a loaf every two days in my Panasonic breadmaker. The bread comes out crispy on the outside and nice and soft in the middle,much better than some of the dry,heavy loaves I have bought. It is important to stress,however,that it needs to be baked on the rapid bake programme of my Panasonic breadmaker - I found this information hidden away in the instruction manual. Once I had done this we found a huge difference in the finished product.So in 1hour 55mins you end up with a really super loaf (in our opinion) Hope this helps

Three of us (2 adults one child age 12) traveled here to visit New York City. Stayed 11 nights. Motel is very close to the Newark airport. Free shuttle service every 30 minutes to the motel from P4 location at airport. The drivers were very courteous and helpful. Motel staff was friendly and very helpful. The rooms were clean comfortable and reasonably spacious. Has microwave and mini fridge. A good free breakfast with several hot items. Has a small indoor pool. In traveling to New York City from the motel their are several viable options depending on the time and money you want to spend.
1. Take the free motel shuttle to the airport. Ride the Airport Airtrain to the Raillink. Take the NJ transit train to New York Penn Station. The cost is $12.50 per adult and $3.50 per child under 11. (However age limit is not strictly enforced). This takes a total of 30 minutes to an hour.
2. Take the shuttle to the airport. Catch New Jersy transit bus #62 at Bus Terminal A, B or C to the Newark Penn Station train station. Shuttle will let you off at any of three terminals. Terminal A is the easiest to get to. The bus is $1.50 per person and I believe $.70 for elderly and children. You must have exact change and I believe $1 bills or coins only. The bus driver will often send you on without requiring payment of the full fare. Once you get to Newark Penn Station take the PATH train into New York City. The PATH train runs either to the World Trade Center or 33rd Street at 6th Avenue. The 33rd street option requires a transfer at Journal Square stop. (takes longer on weekends b/c of extra stop) All trains leaving Newark Penn Station will say World Trade Center regardless of whether or not you are transferring. You will be promped regarding transfers on the intercom. . The cost of the PATH is $2.25 per person. This way takes a total of 1 to 2 hours with probably an average of 1.5 hours.
3. There is also a bus from the Newark Airport directly into New York City ( I can't recall the name but it is yellow on the sides and clearly indicates it provides transport from Newark to New York City. . I believe it goes to the Times Square area. The cost is $16 per person or $28 round trip. I believe kids ride free. You can board the bus at Terminal C in the airport.
4. Cabs directly into New York or to the Newark Penn Station are also available but that option is very expensive.
We used both options 1 and 2. We did not use options 3 or 4 . For speed, convenience and comfort option 1 is preferrable. For price option 2 is the best. I warn you that option 2 requires a positive attitude and you should be prepared for some delays and inconvenience. I will say we always felt safe on the Newark bus even late at night.
We definitely recommend the motel for people visiting New York City who can't afford to or choose not to spend the extra money to stay in New York City ( 2 to 4 times as much) . Obviously the Motel would also be a great option for those looking for a place close to the airport.

In many cases the Dukes tongue-in-cheek parables were far superior to the songs to which they gently alluded. It w Read more

BMI View: Mixed reports regarding the loading of an oil tanker from the rebel controlled Es Sidr port highlights the cautious approach the Libyan government is taking in dealing with opposition forces, but also their vehemence to prevent rebel controlled exports. As a result, the oil sector continues to be severely impacted by the stand-off from both sides, with over 800,000 barrels of oil per day likely to be held from international markets until a solution is found.
Libya has once again stepped up its assertive rhetoric against the east of the country, as efforts were made to load a tanker from the port of Es Sidr. A 35,500 deadweight-tonne tanker, reportedly flying the North Korean flag, docked at Es Sidr on Saturday (March 8) and loaded with US$30mn worth of cargo. Libyan officials are now claiming the tanker has been intercepted and will be sailed to a government controlled port, though rebels claim the vessel is still in port.
This is the most significant reported attempt by the rebel controlled eastern part of Libya to sell oil on the international market, a sign that perhaps the rebel contingent is struggling to finance its operations. The eastern ports of Es Sidr, Ras Lanouf and Zuweitina, are still under rebel control with oil flows blocked, preventing significant revenues from entering the country. Currently, only the northwest of the country is producing consistently, supported by sporadic output from the El Sharara field in the south. However, Eni has confirmed the El Sharara field is now back online and will produce at capacity, offering upside risk to future oil output levels.
|Cut Off
|Libyan Monthly Oil Production ('000b/d)
The government is reportedly angered by the attempts to export oil from the Es Sidr port, once again firing out rhetoric outlining the engagement of Special Forces to retake the eastern ports. However, the tanker in question was reportedly loaded and exited the port of Es Sidr before it was intercepted at Sea, highlighting the reluctance of the Libyan military to enter significant engagements on the ground. If, as the rebels claim, the tanker is still in port, it appears the government have also taken very little land-based action to intercept with force.
We have previously seen multiple announcements of military action against the east, as of yet culminating to nothing. It therefore it remains unclear whether Tripoli has sufficient capacity to stop the port blockades, though it is seeking to avoid excessive use of force in order to prevent a major conflict. We stand behind our February statement ( see, ' Risks Of Civil War Increasing', Feb 10), that Tripoli's move might be an attempt to increase pressure on rebel leader Jathran to come to the negotiating table, and we believe that the two sides could reach a compromise in H214. That said, instability continues to disrupt oil exports and over the short term there will unlikely be any oil from the east of the country brought back on to international markets. This is one area where the Libyan government is likely to stop shipments at all costs, as it would considerably weaken its position and give Jathran access to new finance. However, Tripoli is attempting to do this without seeing tensions escalate into civil war, which would be even more detrimental to the country.
Average oil production from February 2014 was around 350,000 barrels per day (b/d), and with the restart of the El Sharara field this should increase to around 500,000b/d in March. However, with the eastern oilfields blockaded pre-Arab Spring production of 1.6mn b/d remains a long way off. Even if a breakthrough between the east and west was made it is unlikely Libya will return to these highs rapidly, with neglect and lack of investment likely to take a toll on some production facilities.

By turns heartbreaking, hilarious, and utterly human, The House of God is a mesmerizing and provocative journey that takes us into the lives of Roy Basch and five of his fellow interns at the most renowned teaching hospital in the country. Young Dr. Basch and his irreverent confident, known only as the Fat Man, will learn not only how to be fine doctors but, eventually, good human beings. Samuel Shem has done what few in American medicine have dared to do---create an unvarnished, unglorified, and amazingly forthright portrait revealing the depth of caring, pain, pathos, and tragedy felt by all who spend their lives treating patients and stand at the crossroads between science and humanity.
With over two million copies sold worldwide, The House of God has been hailed as one of the most important medical novels of the 20th century and compared to Sinclair Lewis's Arrowsmith for its poignant portrayal of the education of American doctors.

"Fascinating." (The Wall Street Journal)
"Best account of our transition into medicine."
The healthcare machine takes its toll on us. It kills our compassion towards others. those of us who are like by our patients truly are the most distant. this book explains the paradox between trying and being good at our jobs. Those not in medicine would never understand. This book is the most eloquent account of our personal death as we transition into the machine we call healthcare.
"First time I started it I hated it..."
I started reading this during my intern year and couldn't get past the second chapter, I found it insulting and unrealistic but I've never experienced anything like that before. I picked it up again in my third year residency and absolutely loved it. I highly recommend anybody in medicine to read it because there are still institutions out there very much like this.
"Gets a lot of hype."
I would, but only to doctor friends and I would try to manage their expectations.
Fats. Good humor, good advice to main character.
I was a little surprised about the amount of sex in this book. Either I'm really boring or it was a different time in the 70s. If I tried to have sex with as many nurses as what goes on in this book I would have been fired with maybe a lawsuit. Different times....
I don't know if it enhanced the story either.
"Really don't care for it"
The book is hard to follow and seems irrelevant. Don't waste your time or money.
"Engaging audio, excellent story"
Yes! I'm a current Internal Medical resident which means two things:
1) I am very sleep deprived - so I usually can't stay awake for an audiobook, but this was VERY well read and engaging!
2) I can relate to the story, which itself was excellent.
The quality of the audio was really key for me!
"Essential for any medical resident"
As an avid fan of Scrubs, I loved seeing all the references that Scrubs used from this book!
A blend of satire, realism, and comedy - a must win!
"Narrative of a young doctor"
This book gives an insight into the practices that trainee underwent in the about 30 or 40 yrs ago. The book is salacious at times, perhaps it was a true reflection of what took place. Recommended reading for all medical professionals especially students and young doctors.
"Too much sex that doesn't add to the subject!"
If the description would have included the fact that the author refers to sex as often as possible.
I was never into sex books to begin with. I still like medical books, which I thought this would be, but it's not.
I would like to return this book
"Fantastic Narration"
Picked this out without much context and no background in the world of medicine, but the narration and story was far beyond most, maybe any, other books I've listened too. Highly recommended.
Great book narrated perfectly. Enjoyed every bit of it. Should have gone through it in the medical school.

I've read that the Jordan-Wigner transformation changes qubits into spinless fermions. What, exactly, are spinless fermions? I'm guessing it doesn't mean spin zero which would be a boson, so what does it mean?
It is only in relativistic quantum field theory that spin and statistics are connected; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-statistics_theorem
In non-relativistic QFT the two are completely distinct. Spin manifests as local degrees of freedom, and statistics is encoded in the (anti-)commutation relations at equal times.

Product Description
From Amazon
Grendel is a beautiful and heartbreaking modern retelling of the Beowulf epic from the point of view of the monster, Grendel, the villain of the 8th-century Anglo-Saxon epic. This book benefits from both of Gardner's careers: in addition to his work as a novelist, Gardner was a noted professor of medieval literature and a scholar of ancient languages. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
From Library Journal
George Guidall's crusty but spirited narration is perfectly suited for the monster Grendel. Gardner's 1971 classic takes the Anglo Saxon Beowulf epic and uses varying translations of the poem and other writings from the period to tell the story from the poor monster's viewpoint. Most first-person narratives translate well to the audio format, and Grendel especially enchants, casting a spell not unlike a grown-up "Lord of the Rings." The monster observes humans from a revealing and telling vantage. Just like a child in the schoolyard, Grendel picks up certain curse words and takes joy in repeating them. This has resulted in Gardner's book being challenged at the many schools where it is rightfully part of the curriculum. Guidall's voice is familiar enough for a still-fresh tale. This is storytelling at its best.?Gerald A. Notaro, Univ. of South Florida, St. Petersburg

From forest shadows, he views--through his primal lens--the duplicitous, scheming and barbaric true nature of the king's growing empire and the warring clans around it. No animal, points out Beowulf, would treat his own kind so cruelly.
Later in the novel, as Grendel grows out of young adulthood into complete monster maturity, he begins to interact more fiercely with the humans. He wants to show them how wrong they are, how vulnerable, how false their gods. To his surprise, however, the beauty of Beowulf's queen--who is completely inaccessible--enchants him. Rather than seriously persue the queen, however, he views the king as unworthy of her and this feeling builds his resentment toward the king and his domain.
Outside of the monster Grendel, there are two arresting figures in the book. The first is the dragon, who sits in a subterranean lair and, more importantly, stands outside of time and thus can see eons of events at glance--before and after they occur. From this perspective, the dragon attempts to school the young monster in the finer points of space-time. This is an entertaining sidetrack from the novel's main thrust, and the dragon's viewpoint of time (analogous to surveying a plain from a mountaintop) leaves a lasting impression on the reader. To Grendel, of course, the concepts are beyond him and the dragon becomes upset at Grendel's obvious boredom and disquiet.Read more ›
In contrast to the drunken lurching of the others, Unferth comes toward Grendel with speeches and bravery. He is a puffed up as a peacock, proud and ready to die for his king, his people, his ideal. Grendel simply states, "He was one of those." Grendel sees Unferth with a clear and unbiased mind. He is ridiculous. His exaggerated heroism, his words, even his first move, to scuttle sideways like a crab from thirty feet away, is laughable. Grendle does with him what he does with no other Dane in the story, he talks.
Unferth offers Grendle death, and Grendle sends back taunts. The reason this scene is funny is because the taunts are sharply accurate.Read more ›
Grendel is sad, lonely, and bored. His only friend (besides his mother, who offers little conversational companionship) is a wise ancient dragon who sits on a massive treasure hoard and mentors the young beast in the significance of being a monster, that having the power to terrify and brutalize is just as much an affirmation of life as killing to eat. And killing is Grendel's forte: He repeatedly targets the thanes of Hrothgar, king of the Danes, who, as descendants of the blessed race of Abel, intrigue him; voyeuristically he spies on them in their meadhalls, sardonically observing their folly, believing that he provides for them a healthy challenge to their complacency. He particularly enjoys the ineffectual assaults of a warrior named Unferth who seeks hero status by trying to slay Grendel numerous times and whom Grendel always spares out of spite, to dishonor him and amplify his ineptitude.
If Grendel were human, he'd be called a sociopath. He hates himself, men, and the world, but he turns his extreme negativity into a strange attitude of superiority -- he likes to show his enemies that he can always beat them, that they're defenseless against his aggression and foolish as well.Read more ›

I cannot believe I haven't skied Perfect North before now. It was awesome. Mind you, we're still talking about the middle of the U.S. It's not the Rockies or the Alps. It's not even the Appalachians. Still, Perfect North is one of the best places I've skied south of Maine. The hill is surprisingly big. Pefect North does not publish detailed run information (at least not that I can find on their website). They claim a 400 foot vertical drop and a 1-mile "longest run." I'd guess that's about right. Runs are reasonable for this part of the country and compare very favorably with anything you'll find in North Carolina. I know there are much bigger places in WV or PA - but I can't drive to any of those on a regular weekend. First of all, Perfect North is very well-organized. The people who run this place might want to have a crack at running the Indiana State government. . . I was told we were there on one of their busier days - apparently a special college weekend. There were lots of buses from various churches and schools, and the parking lot filled up by mid-morning. Lines for the lifts got longer as the day wore on. BUT, the slopes were not congested at all and the lift lines moved along steadily. We got lots of runs in. They have 3 big chair lifts to the top. They also have a separate chair lift for the main terrain park (Audition) - which REALLY helps keep a lot of traffic off the other lifts and off the regular runs. They have another separate chairlift for the beginners' area (Ski Wiz & Broadway) which helps cut down on congestion and keep beginners safely segregated from intermediate and expert traffic. Awesome planning by Perfect North on their lay-out and lift planning! I'd say we only waited 5 to 10 minutes for a lift during the peak rush. There is someone from the staff at each lift line to prevent cutting and shoving. I only saw one little punk try to ram his way to the front of the line (I think it was an employee, too), but he got shut down. They don't put up with any crap here. The Ski Patrol is all over the place, too. It's a safe, controlled environment. Very nice for families with young kids but not like skiing in a police state, either. My son and I set out to ski each of the 23 runs and then go back to the ones we liked best. We didn't quite get all 23 but we got close. We didn't even touch the terrain parks (Audition and Jam Session); however, I will say the terrain parks looked good - plenty of "toys," well maintained, and groomed. Also, my son and I didn't spend any time on the bunny hill - Cat Walk, Call Back, or Rehearsal. My wife spent all day on these and was pretty happy to make 16 runs without falling. Four magic carpet lifts (no tow ropes!) laid out in a quad serve the beginners' lesson and practice area. Ski Wiz and Broadway are the bottom ends of other runs, but they have a dedicated chairlift (the green lift) which is great for beginners to access these lower sections without taking on the bigger runs. Nice open spaces, not very steep, for practicing turns and stops. My daughter (13) enjoyed this area and we felt perfectly comfortable letting her ski there on her own most of the day. Perfect North has on-going beginners group lessons on weekends FREE with the purchase of a lift ticket. It's set up like circuit training in the military - there are 7 stations with instructors at each and you just work at each station until you are ready to move on to the next one. You'll get an introduction to the very basic essentials here. Don't expect to leave this area ready to enter a race or take on a big hill. In fact, if you don't have any particular aptitude for skiing or at least some natural athletic ability, don't expect to leave this area at all. According to my wife and daughter, a few of the instructors are less patient than others and weren't going out of their way to provide any individual attention. But, it's free. If you run across an instructor you don't like, just move on. The main goal of these lessons is mainly to keep you from getting hurt - not to prepare you for the Olympics. It's more than you get at a lot of place, and beginners have tons of room to practice what they learn. The trails at Perfect North are sort of naturally split into two groups with one group of trails served by the red and white chair lifts and the other group of trails served by the orange chair lift. Clyde's Super Slide and Short Cut bridge the two sections. On the orange side of the hill you've got a nice long run called The Far Side which is OK but not very challenging. It's the longest run on the slope and perfect for beginners to build confidence. There is a series of jumps at the bottom, but you'd have to really be flying to get any air. This slope also seemed to get softer than the others in the afternoon sun, which made it slow in some sections. Runway is a nice run that is only a little shorter than The Far Side but quite a bit faster. Four other runs branch off of Runway: Showtime/Lowershowtime, Encore, Intermission, and Special Effects. We only tried Encore, and we had to wait until the kids' slalom race was over before we could get on it. It's a nice, fast run but it doesn't last long. Intermission and Special Effects are hard to tell apart, and we didn't try them. They are pretty steep and they both have trees. Showtime is a glade trail with moguls. Say what you want about skiing in Indiana - this run is no joke. If you don't know what you're doing, you will get hurt. They don't require helmets on it, and I'm not a big fan of wearing a helmet just to look cool, but you'd be foolish to do this run without one. To get from the orange chairlift side to the red/white chairlift side, your best bet is to go left off the orange lift and take Clyde's Slide down. Go right at the bottom through The Meadow. You will end up telemarking across the bottom in front of the lodge to reach the white chairlift, but it's not bad. It can get crowded when they're having an event at the big terrain park but it's flat. The white chairlift serves mainly Clyde's Slide and Hoyt Connection. Hoyt is not truly what I'd call a "connection." It's pretty flat and really only lets you pick up an alternate entry to Clyde's Slide. You'd have to climp up a pretty sharp hill to get from Hoyt to the orange chairlift trails. You'll have to do a little skating to get from the white lift to Backstage, Tuff Enuff, Center Stage/Hollywood, or Deception from the white chairlift. Or, you can just use the red chairlift. Backstage is a slightly faster but shorter version of The Far Side - nothing spectacular but a good warm-up run. Tuff Enuff was a fairly tame glade section leading to Backstage and would be a good intro to skiing amongst trees. Center Stage is similar to Encore - a fast run, a bit longer, with a just a hint of moguly-ness. From what I could tell, Hollywood was a glade trail running alongside Center Stage and possibly steeper than Showtime. I didn't try Hollywood. Then there was Deception, a full-blown mogul trail. Mercifully short for those of us who don't ski every weekend or do a lot of squats. After the mogul section (which is generous), there's a nice fast section to the bottom and into The Meadow. My legs were feeling it by the time I got through the moguls. This would have been my favorite trail except that you've got to telemark across that flat spot in front of the lodge to get back to the lift. As for all the other stuff that you have to deal with where ever you ski - lift ticket purchases, rentals, parking, etc. - Perfect North really has their act together. There is a lot of parking. We got there early and got a spot very close to the beginners' practice area, an easy walk from the lodge when we needed something from the van. Parking is free. There are about a dozen lift ticket windows, six outside and six inside the east lodge. All six outside windows were manned (or womanned) when we arrived. There was a line, but we were out in 15 minutes or less. (I suspect most people were like us and didn't even know about the windows inside the lodge - so the line was probably even shorter in there.) Our cashier was reasonably friendly and very efficient. I didn't feel rushed but the transaction was quick. Just a note on the lift tickets: Perfect North uses a weather resistant card-like material that attaches with a plastic strap almost like a cable tie. Much easier to deal with than the old-fashioned stickers that have to be folded over a metal clip - especially when you have your hands full of gloves, wallets, credit card receipts, and rental paperwork. My wife and daughter rented gear and it was a breeze. Rentals are downstairs from the ticket counters. They provide a counter space and pencils to fill out your information and then a staffer guides you into the largely self-service process. It may not be the most personalized approach, but it's definitely faster than most places and it works. Boots are racked up by size (mens size); you find the row with your size, grab a pair, sit down on the nearest bench, and put on your boots. Toes of the boots are color-coded. Skis are stored in kiosks identified by colors. Take your paperwork to the kiosk corresponding to the color on your boot and they hand you a pair of skis. Boom. Move through and pick up a pair of poles (if you use poles) from the bins near the exit doors and you're good to go. If you know your shoe size and know how to latch up a ski boot, you'll be out on the snow in under 15 minutes. Snow boards are in a separate room beyond the ski rentals - another excellent plan which helps keep things moving. There are coin-operated lockers along the back and side walls of the rental area along with several change machines. $0.50 gets you a locker large enough for several pairs of shoes and possibly other junk - like parka liners, gloves and hats. Staff is all over the place asking if they can help you. There's also a tech shop at the end of the rental area where they apparently maintain rental gear and provide directions to the change machines. I cannot overemphasize how helpful and friendly the staff is at Perfect North. Outside the rental area there are dozens and dozens of ski racks, including a section of coin-operated locking racks. (I didn't see anyone actually using the locks so I'm guessing theft isn't a big issue here.) There are some dedicated snow board racks, too. These crowd up by the middle of the day, but we managed to find a spot for our gear any time we needed one. Also easily accessed from the rack area are some rest rooms which were nice and clean. The lodge itself was huge and had anything you really need. There's a nice deck on the second level overlooking the slopes. They have two different places to get food (plus a third snack bar at the snow tubing area and grilling on the deck on weekends). There's a ski shop and even more seating in the upper level. But, the lodge has all the ambience of a food court in the mall. There are three residential-sized gas log fireplaces built into a three-faced stone wall at one end of the main lodge. Other than that, it's just one huge open space filled with tables and chairs with two large open spaces comprising the east and west lodges connected to each end. That's great for youth groups and college kids to stuff their faces, but if I skied here often I'd really want to see a section of the lodge set aside for adults and families to relax by a REAL fire and maybe eat something besides a hamburger, burrito, or box lunch. Having said that, I must point out that Perfect North posts their food prices on their website and they are VERY reasonable. This is probably the most affordable lodge food I've ever seen. I understand (and even appreciate) that Perfect North caters to families and isn't trying to be a night life mecca. They do not serve alcohol at the lodge. That's all fine. However, there is no other place in the immediate area for "apres ski" relaxation. The slope is located just outside of Lawrenceburg, IN in farm country. There are no cabins for rent on the slope, no hotels or restaurants between the slope and town, and Lawrenceburg itself is a very small city which seemed pretty quiet even on a Saturday night. Apparently there's a casino and some other stuff to see, but the nearest place to do karaoke and have a beer or take your family out for a good pizza is probably in Cincinnati - about 25 miles away. We were way too tired to drive to Cincinatti after skiing all day. So, we headed back to Florence, KY where we grabbed dinner at Skyline Chili and hit our hotel for the night. I guess we really weren't up for much nightlife anyway. If you're into that, I'd recommend getting a room in downtown Cinci. Two last notes. We got a package deal from one of Perfect North's lodging partners as shown on the Perfect North website. That worked out very nicely. We ended up getting a very nice hotel room (that's HOtel - not motel) for a very reasonable price. We got two lift adult lift tickets for slightly more than the regular room rate and bought the kids' tickets at the slope. When you consider the very nice breakfast that came with our room, it was an exceptionally good deal. I highly recommend checking into Perfect North's package deals if you don't live within driving distance of the slope. Finally, you will want to plan your departure from the slope carefully - otherwise you will sit in traffic trying to get back to the Interstate. The road to town is just a little 2-lane country road and it backs up a mile or two when tubing sessions let out. Bringing a GPS allowed us to bypass most of the traffic. Overall, this was the best ski experience I've had in a long while. I highly recommend Perfect North to anyone who is stuck in the middle of the country and cannot afford to fly to one of the "big name" slopes.
