I ordered the Breadman TR-875 the other day when it was a Gold Deal.  I have never used a bread machine nor made bread.  I read the reviews for the Breadman and discovered the Hodgson Mill, referenced by a Breadman reviewer.  While my Breadman was being prepared for shipment, I ordered a case of 9-Grain.  They both arrived the same day and I spent the evening discovering the Breadman.  The next morning with trepidation I ventured forth to make my first loaf of bread, and posted a picture here and for the Breadman. I cut the heel and had soon eaten almost half the loaf.  It is fabulous.  The way that bread is intended by Mother Nature.  Today I just completed making the other five loaves.  Every loaf was perfection - Six of Six.  Everything was so simple, with a little research.  I am one proud novice; soon to be considered a professional. :)

Considering our northwest weather, an interesting book for newcomers especially. Coffee table friendly.

This is not your run of the mill freshman reader. The reading choices are thoughtful and span global and chronological space.

Summary:
Beyer engages readers in a memoir relating to her first year of college.  At the beginning, Beyer is a high school senior in a small town called Paw Paw.  She leads a fairly sheltered life with a small group of friends.  When she is accepted into the art school of her choice in Baltimore, she begins to make lists and work her way through her feelings.  As she is leaving, she lists, doodle, and journals her way through her preparations for moving, traveling, and arriving in Baltimore, the big city.  She is thrust into a lot of new experiences and diversity that she had never experienced before.  Beyer makes a new set of friends that challenge her thinking.  She has a small romance with a man that ends up being a best friend, and opens her eyes to the wide world around her.  Chronicling her first year, she also expresses several emotions as she deals with the changes within herself just like any freshman being out on her own for the very first time.

My thoughts:
This is a first year memoir that I am happy to hand out within my classroom.  Not only is the graphic representation a good way to connect with the audience, but I feel like the changes Beyer goes through are not shown as much as the "freshman party-goers" are.  I want my high school students to have a better sense of what most people go through within their first year of college.  There are struggles dealing with classes, friends, and being without the direct support of your family.  Learning how to take care of yourself is far more important that constant sex.  I'm glad this book easily shows an accurate college life picture.  I also enjoyed the format.  I am a list maker myself, so her endless lists were fun for me to read.  I also liked that not all of the graphics are necessary to the plot line, but they add another dimension.  It makes the story feel as if it is bigger than the rather short book that it comes in.  It becomes 3D and more like a scrapbook of experiences than a typical memoir.  I highly recommend checking this out for high school age students that are about ready to head into college.

A very nice presentation, beautifully put together, with very well done drawings and photos...nothing x-rated, but you'll find some female nudity, and suggestive poses.  If you're experienced, there's not much here for you, but there's a number of tips that a newcomer will find interesting.  It also provides a number of scenes/situations/role-plays that are pretty sexy to read about and imagine, but not too many folks are going to be doing this on a plane, public restroom, or dinner party...or maybe I just hang with an overly conservative crowd!  This book is probably best for those who lack confidence in their skills, or need a kick-start to get back in the habit.

This is a great book for new fellows in pathology. Many weird  things ( for the novice) are explained in a very instructive way. The writing style and type of content is very much comparable to "The Practice of Surgical Pathology: A Beginner's Guide to the Diagnostic Process" by Molavi.

This book is a great starting point for students. From here, they can begin to ask questions and you can search for books that dig deeper. It covers the basics of how they lived, what they ate, etc. It has language that a 6 or 7 year old could understand.

I received this product for free.

Good intro into giving attention to the pelvic floor.  Could be too heady for some, but I think the visualizations are great entry point into the nervous system's control of the muscle system.

I thought this book was interesting. I loved reading from the substitues perspective. I don't really remember having many subs when I was in school but imagine it can be a little overwhelming for a the teacher who has a different set of kids with each assignment.

The book was a short read and at times humorous. Overall it was an interesting read. I think all students, parents and substitute teachers would enjoy this book.

Although the book is more of a primer, there are some pages worth the price. I really enjoyed the book as it presented  some perspectives I hadn't considered previously.

A pleasant experience viewing the pictures and studying out the variety of colours to place in just the right spots!

Reading from cover to cover, I've concluded that the HBCU freshmen experience is diligently captured in DeLong's book. I advise others to read this book before enrolling or, at least, early in the semester to feel somewhat at ease about college. The book prepares, warns, and offers lots of advice to incoming freshmen.

The book presents a classification of the native vegetation of NSW. The vegetation has been divided to 12 formations (rainforests, wet sclerophyll forests, grassy woodlands, grasslands, dry sclerophyll forests, heathlands, alpine complex, freshwater wetlands, forested wetlands, saline wetlands, semi-arid woodlands and arid shrublands) and 99 classes within the formations. Every class has two pages with good text on climate&soils, habit, dominant species, occurrence (also a map), accessible examples and three excellent photos showing forest interiors (in case of forest types). What is missing is a deeper look at ecology - at the beginning there is some basic information about the ecology of the region, but in the descriptions there is very little about successional sequences, fire relations etc. However, an interesting and beautiful book.

Good first glimpse.  Ron exposes you to various daily tasks that you could run into.  Very helpful for novice.  Good job.

The students were amazed by the pictures! The text was easy for them to understand, yet it was not too simplified. Thank you!

Good to know that young inexperienced doctors are trying their best to overcome their fears etc of treating patients and handling problems. They write honestly about the learning curve to being a capable and good doctor. I found this book to be uplifting about the medical profession
