Only other thing im severely worried about is the tranny starting to slip here and there... money tight right now ( just like everyone else lol, recently married and just got into a house so im sure most of you can relate.). Should I worry about flushing fluids or am i asking for trouble at this point by doing that? I've owned the truck since 140k and I havnt done it yet and lord knows if it was done before me. I check all my fluids religiously and nothing is burnt or any metal debris( shocker)...

The Radio Free Acton crew discusses whether or not a "rich and famous" lifestyle can produce true happiness, and concludes that money can't buy happiness. Indeed, a life lived in pursuit of nothing more than material gain will lead to emptiness; true happiness comes through a pursuit of a relationship with God, which gives meaning to the rest of life.

I'm using CS4 to edit, export and burn videos - I have a 30 station lab with xp machines - when attempting to burn the menu reads "no burner present". Each machine has an internal DVD burner. The burners work with Roxio and other burning softwares. Anyone?
>burners work with Roxio
Roxio is your problem, due to software that it installs that will not let Encore communicate with the burner
Tell Encore to create an ISO on the hard drive, then use roxio or the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/ to burn the ISO to disc
This FAQ Entry will give you some tips on what can hide your burner from Adobe software.
What happens is that some software will "hook" the burner at boot up. Most of these basically tell the OS that it's not really a burner, but a HDD. This is most often done to enable "packet-writing" to the blank media in that burner. Roxio and Nero are common culprits, as each has a packet-writing module, InCD and DLA. They are not the ONLY ways that this can happen. If one has ever used Quicken's Backup to Disk, then Windows' direct-burn packet-writing module is invoked for this process (if Nero/Roxio, or similar are not available), and every time one boots up, the OS will get the information that it's not really a burner any longer, but is a HDD, and is to treated as such. Adobe gets its clue from the OS, so it does not see a burner. ImgBurn, and some others, will look beyond what is reported by the OS, but all Adobe programs, that will burn to DVD/BD will not. They want 100% control of the burner, and cannot get it.
The first place that I would check would be your Startup and Services tabs in MSCONFIG, to see just what IS launching at boot up. Though the above covers some of the "usual suspects," there can be others. If you can post a screen-cap of your Startup and your Services tabs in MSCONFIG, maybe someone can spot the culprit.
Good luck, and hope that this helps,
I had the same problem. It was so simple to fix. Your fix may not be as simply as mine but all I did was this.
Go to build, See the box at the top left that selects the drive you want to use - Set it to DVD. That was all I had to do to fix my problem.
Hope your problem is as easy to fix. I spent days trying to figure it out and all along I was one click away.

Comments: This unit fit perfectly and was easy to install.
Comments: I just replaced my Kent DI Mixed Cartridge after 6 months of use (I felt this was the appropriate time to replace). I have the Kent Maxxima (50 GPD RO/DI System - 4 stage) It took me all of 5 minutes to replace this cartridge. For maintenance, I change the lower 3 cartridges at the same time, run about 10 gallons through it (to remove the carbon), dump this water and you are good to go!
Thank you for taking the time to review our products.

Commission Recommendation
of 3 October 2008
on the active inclusion of people excluded from the labour market
(notified under document number C(2008) 5737)
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 211 thereof,
(1) Respect for human dignity is a founding principle of the European Union, among whose aims are the promotion of full employment and social progress, the combating of social exclusion and discrimination and the promotion of social justice and social protection. In accordance with Article 137(1)(h) of the Treaty, the Community has a role to play in supporting and complementing the activities of the Member States in the integration of persons excluded from the labour market. Article 34 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union provides for the right to social and housing assistance so as to ensure a decent existence for all those who lack sufficient resources.
(2) Council Recommendation 92/441/EEC of 24 June 1992 on common criteria concerning sufficient resources and social assistance in social protection systems [1] remains a reference instrument for Community policy in relation to poverty and social exclusion and has lost none of its relevance, although more needs to be done to implement it fully.
(3) Since 1992 new policy instruments have emerged. One such instrument is the Open method of coordination on social protection and social inclusion (OMC), the objectives of which include the active social inclusion of all, to be ensured by promoting participation in the labour market and by fighting poverty and exclusion among the most marginalised people and groups [2]. Another instrument is the European employment strategy, which aims, inter alia, to strengthen social inclusion, fight poverty, prevent exclusion from the labour market and support integration into employment of people at a disadvantage [3].
(4) The persistence of poverty and joblessness and the growing complexities of multiple disadvantages call for comprehensive, integrated policies [4]. With a view to modernising social protection systems, adequate income support needs to be combined with a link to the labour market and access to quality services in an integrated active inclusion strategy [5]. This strategy is fully complementary to the flexicurity approach, while targeting those excluded from the labour market. It contributes to the Lisbon strategy by facilitating the activation and the mobility of the workforce, and represents a building block in the social dimension of the EU's sustainable development strategy [6].
(5) Consideration should be given to national priorities and the availability of financial resources when this Recommendation is gradually implemented.
(6) This Recommendation and the implementation of the common principles set out herein are without prejudice to the application of Community law, including State aid rules and the General block exemption Regulation [7], and the Community rules on the award of public contracts.
(7) In accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, the Member States are responsible for defining the level of income support and for establishing the appropriate policy mix in the light of the different situations and needs at local, regional and national level,
1. Design and implement an integrated comprehensive strategy for the active inclusion of people excluded from the labour market combining adequate income support, inclusive labour markets and access to quality services. Active inclusion policies should facilitate the integration into sustainable, quality employment of those who can work and provide resources which are sufficient to live in dignity, together with support for social participation, for those who cannot.
2. Ensure the effectiveness of integrated active inclusion policies through:
(a) comprehensive policy design defining the right mix of the three strands of the active inclusion strategy, taking account of their joint impact on the social and economic integration of disadvantaged people and their possible interrelationships, including synergies and trade-offs;
(b) integrated implementation across the three strands of the active inclusion strategy to effectively address the multifaceted causes of poverty and social exclusion and enhance coordination between public agencies and services which deliver active inclusion policies;
(c) policy coordination among local, regional, national and EU authorities in the light of their particular roles, competences and priorities;
(d) active participation of all other relevant actors, including those affected by poverty and social exclusion, the social partners, non-governmental organisations and service providers, in the development, implementation and evaluation of strategies.
3. Ensure that active inclusion policies:
(a) support the implementation of fundamental rights;
(b) promote gender equality and equal opportunities for all;
(c) take careful consideration of the complexities of multiple disadvantages and the specific situations and needs of the various vulnerable groups;
(d) take due account of local and regional circumstances and improve territorial cohesion;
(e) be consistent with a lifecycle approach to social and employment policies so they can support intergenerational solidarity and break the intergenerational transmission of poverty.
4. Organise and implement integrated active inclusion policies in accordance with the following common principles and guidelines for each strand, while respecting the principle of subsidiarity and their different situations, needs and priorities without prejudice to the application of Community law, including State aid rules and the Community rules on the award of public contracts.
(a) Adequate income support
Recognise the individual's basic right to resources and social assistance sufficient to lead a life that is compatible with human dignity as part of a comprehensive, consistent drive to combat social exclusion.
(i) Review their social protection systems, as necessary, in the light of the common principles listed in paragraph B of Recommendation 92/441/EEC. In particular, under an active inclusion strategy, the right to sufficient resources should:
- be combined with active availability for work or for vocational training with a view to obtaining work in the case of persons whose conditions permit such active availability, or be subject, where appropriate, to economic and social integration measures in the case of other persons,
- be combined with policies deemed necessary, at national level, for the economic and social integration of those concerned.
(ii) Ensure the implementation of that right in accordance with the practical guidelines in paragraphs C(1), C(2) and C(3) of Recommendation 92/441/EEC. In particular, when the resources necessary to lead a life of dignity are determined, living standards and price levels by type and size of household in the Member State concerned should be taken into account using the appropriate national indicators. Within an active inclusion framework, an incentive to seek employment for persons whose condition renders them fit for work should be safeguarded and the amounts adjusted or supplemented to meet specific needs.
(b) Inclusive labour markets
Adopt arrangements covering persons whose condition renders them fit for work to ensure they receive effective help to enter or re-enter and stay in employment that corresponds to their work capacity.
(i) Promote the following common principles in the context of active inclusion strategies:
- address the needs of people excluded from the labour market in order to facilitate their progressive reintegration into society and into the labour market and to enhance their employability,
- take the necessary measures to promote inclusive labour markets in order to ensure access to employment is an opportunity open for all,
- promote quality jobs, including pay and benefits, working conditions, health and safety, access to lifelong learning and career prospects, in particular with a view to preventing in-work poverty,
- tackle labour market segmentation by promoting job retention and advancement.
(ii) Implement these principles through the following practical guidelines:
- expand and improve investment in human capital through inclusive education and training policies, including effective lifelong strategies; adapt education and training systems in response to new competence requirements, and the need for digital skills,
- active and preventive labour market measures, including tailored, personalised, responsive services and support involving early identification of needs, job-search assistance, guidance and training, and motivation to seek a job actively,
- continually review the incentives and disincentives resulting from tax and benefit systems, including the management and conditionality of benefits and a significant reduction in high marginal effective tax rates, in particular for those with low incomes, while ensuring adequate levels of social protection,
- provide support for the social economy and sheltered employment as a vital source of entry jobs for disadvantaged people, promote financial inclusion and microloans, financial incentives for employers to recruit, the development of new sources of jobs in services, particularly at local level, and raise awareness of labour market inclusiveness,
- promote adaptability and provide in-work support and a supportive environment, including attention to health and well-being, non-discrimination and the application of labour law in conjunction with social dialogue.
(c) Access to quality services
Take every measure to enable those concerned, in accordance with the relevant national provisions, to receive appropriate social support through access to quality services. In particular, measures should be taken to:
provide services which are essential to supporting active social and economic inclusion policies, including social assistance services, employment and training services, housing support and social housing, childcare, long-term care services and health services in accordance with the following common principles, taking the role of local, regional and national authorities, applicable Community rules and the different situations, needs and preferences in the Member States into account:
- territorial availability, physical accessibility, affordability,
- solidarity, equal opportunities for service users and employees, and due account for diversity of users,
- investment in human capital, working conditions, and adequate physical infrastructure,
- comprehensive and coordinated services, conceived and delivered in an integrated manner,
- users' involvement and personalised approaches to meet the multiple needs of people as individuals,
- monitoring and performance evaluation and sharing of best practice.
5. Guarantee the relevant resources and benefits under the social protection arrangements; use the provisions and resources of the Structural Funds, in particular the European Social Fund, to support active inclusion measures.
Lay down detailed arrangements and finance costs and organise their administration and implementation in accordance with national legislation and/or practice.
Take economic and budgetary constraints, the priorities set by national authorities and the state of public finances into account in order to strike the right balance between work incentives, poverty alleviation and sustainable budgetary costs.
Take the necessary measures to ensure that all, including the least privileged, are informed of their rights and of the support available, with the aid, where appropriate, of information technologies.
Simplify as far as possible the administrative procedures and arrangements for examining resources and situations.
Where possible, organise in accordance with national provisions the machinery for appeals before the competent administrative authorities and, where necessary, independent third parties, such as tribunals, to which the persons concerned should have easy access.
6. Improve indicators and information systems in order to upgrade capacity to produce up-to-date, comparable information across all the active inclusion pillars.
Monitor and evaluate active inclusion policies under the open method of coordination on the basis of close cooperation between the Social Protection Committee and the Employment Committee and with support from the Progress programme.
Ensure consistency with the Lisbon strategy's overall policy in relation to the social cohesion objectives.
This Recommendation is addressed to the Member States.

Weekly global roundup: Will Saudi Arabia's plan to construct a women-only industrial city opens new doors for women? Philippines' RH Bill still hanging in the balance as the Catholic Church grows restless; Texans seek abortion pills in Mexico; Rare justice for 13-year-old Afghan torture survivor.
A woman is publicly executed in Afghanistan to settle a "dispute" between two Taliban officials. This gross demonstration of the everyday violence faced by women in Afghanistan comes just days after the U.S. declared the country as a major non-NATO U.S. ally and 70 countries pledged to provide aid.
Weekly global roundup: a revised family code in Mali oppresses women further; Fawzia Koofi makes waves in Afghanistan and worldwide; Venezuela wrestles with a stubborn maternal mortality rate; and a call for more midwives in Zambia.
Weekly global roundup: Male midwives on the rise in Cameroon; Melinda Gates says birth control is not controversial; Afghan women march for their rights; and Nigeria's population grows as contraceptive use dwells near nil.
Global coverage of women's rights abuses in Afghanistan is critical to raising awareness and changing this reality. But what is being done on the ground and at the policy level? What is the good news? The picture is often larger, and more complex, than we see.
Acts of self-immolation have been used as a tool for political protests around the world. In Saigon, a Buddhist monk set himself on fire to protest his government's intolerance of Buddhism. In Tunisia, a young man also used self-immolation in protest which jump started the 2010-2011 revolution in this region. What would drive a 10 year old girl to set herself on fire in Afghanistan?
The first same-sex fertility center, Arizona Senate passes race and sex-based abortion ban, women still being given as crime compensation in Afghanistan, lawsuit filed over New York's CPC law, and Rep. Mike Pence likes what Title X does for "inner cities."
How did you celebrate International Women's Day? Did you "celebrate good times?" or Were you a victim of violence?
Pelosi speaks out on the anti-choice assault on women's rights, a Thai airline seeks to hire transgender women as flight attendants, women use less epidural anesthesia during labor when they control their own pain relief, and a heart-breaking attack on women's shelters in Afghanistan.
When discussing female leadership and the military its easy to pin point the reason for the lack of leadership roles for women while serving in the military. Female roles in combat have been dictated by the restrictions that government places on what they can and cannot do while serving their country; for instance females have long been banned from direct ground combat

Give Wildlife a Chance Poster Contest
Attention, K-5 Teachers!The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, The State Botanical Garden of Georgia and The Environmental Resources Network, Inc. (TERN) encourage you and your students to participate in the 24th annual Give Wildlife a Chance Poster Contest! This popular conservation art contest provides a unique opportunity for students to explore the wonders of Georgia's native plant and animal species through this year's theme: Plug into Nature. Research shows that teachers who submerge their classes in nature increase their students' ability to focus and make observations, to cooperate with others, and to achieve higher test scores. Even unstructured outdoor play yields a host of benefits. While technology is very useful at times, smart phones, electronic tablets, and digital cameras best serve as supplements to natural encounters rather than replacements. Through this year's Plug into Nature theme, your students can express through art what they see and how they feel when they're outside -- perhaps joyful as they marvel at a flower's intricate details, giggly as they observe the antics of a chipmunk, or refreshed as they feel cool stream water on their feet while searching for crayfish. The goal of the Give Wildlife a Chance Poster Contest is to generate a greater knowledge and appreciation of Georgia's diverse and increasingly threatened wildlife and their habitats. It is only a deep concern and commitment to these wild places that will ensure their existence for future generations to enjoy. While game species are important to wildlife diversity, this art contest focuses on nongame animals (species not hunted or fished for) and native plants. Native species are those that naturally occur in Georgia, unlike exotic species that were introduced from other places. They come in all shapes and sizes -- from the large, moss-covered live oak tree of south Georgia (our state tree) to the little grass frog, the smallest frog species in North America. The vast majority of Georgia's native wildlife species are nongame and include rare or endangered animals and plants such as the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker and the hooded pitcherplant, an unusual carnivorous plant found in the longleaf pine ecosystem. There are approximately 3,600 species of nongame plants, 950 nongame vertebrate species and countless invertebrate species and nonvascular plants—all together, more than 95 percent of Georgia's wildlife species are considered nongame! Nongame wildlife can be found in your schoolyard, students' backyards or community parks. Some of the nongame wildlife that your students can depict in their artwork are bats, chipmunks, darters, frogs, hawks, insects, manatees, salamanders, sea turtles, songbirds, snakes, and many species of native plants. Take your students on a field trip to a nearby state park, botanical garden or wildlife management area and set them free to discover Georgia's wildlife! We look forward to working with you and your students at the 24th annual Give Wildlife a Chance Poster Contest! Full contest details are included in the contest brochure below. If you have further questions, please contact Linda May (706.557.3026, firstname.lastname@example.com) or Cora Keber (706.542.6156, firstname.lastname@example.com). Navigate to Page:

A long, tough day with snow, but the timing was perfect for this hike as I finished just 2 hours before a storm rolled in. The trail was well packed all the way to the summit and dry on south facing slopes down low. I used snowshoes from just below the south ridge all the way to summit as it was icy. From high camp, whoever broke trail pretty much went straight up to the ridge. Brutal! Awesome views with the icy snow on top. 9 hrs 17 min RT. Look for TR. | ||

NavySeabee | San Gorgonio - Jepson Solo from Vivian Creek Date Climbed: Nov 9, 2007 | |
Went into this hike with more ambition than energy as I wanted to tag Bighorn and Dragon's Head as well. No joy on the last two. The weather on top was cloudy, very windy and about 30 degrees. Only saw 2 others on top and unfortunately one missed the turnoff for Vivian and headed about 2 miles up South Fork Trail before realizing his mistake. Thankfully, he made it back a little after sunset. | ||

ryanclear | almost there Date Climbed: Sep 11, 2007 | |
I had never been to this mountain and this time I just planned the trip horribly. I had bought new boots the night before and not thinking I decided to break them in on the mountain. My climbing partner was 2 hours late to my house because he slept in and we didnt arrive until about 10am. The goal was to summit, right. We made it pretty far considering my feet where killing me but i kept on. A blister started to form and later in the day started to bleed. We got just past high creek to find out that there was near 5 miles. (Again planned this at the last minute and didnt get to look at the details.) We walked a little bit longer until I wimped out and finally said my foot couldnt handle it, my shoe was soaked in blood. It took about an hour and a half to descend. I thought deep about the mountain and about how disappointed I was to not finish it. I went home, thought about it some more and read some. I found out that all the hard stuff was over with after we passed high creek. Since then Ive been trying to get out there to finish. Im hoping in about 2-3 weeks after the park reopens from the fires. Just goes to show how much planning you should do. | ||

eric.hannan | First Big One Date Climbed: May 8, 2007 | |
This was my second attempt at the mountain. The first time I had just moved to California and thought it would be a good idea to randomly climb a mountain in the winter. To say the least we didn't make it! Second attempt we hit a snow storm, all but myself and my friend Jesse turned back. The top was so bone chilling (and we were under-dressed) that we could only take a few pics and run back down. Snow made it impossible to see the trail so we just bombed it as much as we could. Great Climb lots of snow! | ||

FSH stands for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This hormone is released by the anterior pituitary gland.
In women, FSH stimulates production of eggs and a hormone called estradiol during the first half of the menstrual cycle.
In men, FSH stimulates production of sperm.
This article discusses the test to check the level of FSH in the blood.
Follicle stimulating hormone
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
If you are a woman of childbearing age, your health care provider may want you to obtain the blood test on certain days of your menstrual cycle.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of certain reproductive or pituitary disorders. In some situations, it may also be done to confirm menopause.
The FSH test is usually done to help diagnose problems with sexual development, menstruation, and fertility. The test is used to help diagnose or evaluate:
Normal FSH levels will differ depending on a person's age and gender.
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
* mIU/ml = milli international units per milliliter
Disorders that may be associated with abnormal FSH results include:
The test may also be performed for:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

I think this is my favourite by far! or maybe tied with Cloverscape. But wow, so awesome! |
Kris |
http://www.getpersonas.com/store/gallery/persona/4/7/147 It seems as though username Madonna has been taking your pictures. |
Dave |
This one is by far my favorite(actually probably a tie between this and Satori.) The green in this is absolutely marvelous, and the way the sunrays flow through the trees and shine on the leaves below is perfect. Amazes me every time I look at it; it's the perfect wallpaper. |
Mein |
Wow! What a view! Is a 3840x1024 to much to hope for? |
Karen |
Ryan, This is one of my absolute favorites. It reminds me of the beginning scenes of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Thanks for such beautiful art. |
Masada |
This piece is one of my favorite realistic scenes (and certainly the best realistic picture in 2006, IMO). It really captures the humid/misty feel of the forest. The image is very organic and is difficult to spot as a render at first glance. A fine example of the potential of the genre. It looks like a place I'd like go and maybe even vaguely resembles a place I may have been. Very good work. |
Danny |
I agree with Stephanie here, on both parts. Comments system is good indeed - one thing I noticed though, only when I post a comment, I see the "1 of 1 agreed with this review" - shouldn't it be visible to other readers as well? The lighting here is indeed nice - makes me feel like I am the one sitting there, in this undiscovered piece of heaven. |
Stephanie |
I love your new comment system! This is one of my favorites so I figured I'd comment first on this one. ^_^ The many shades of green are awesome and I simply adore the way you've managed to get the sunlight to float through the trees. I love your work! |
Zach |
WIth a title like that, I probably should have expected it would be so saturated. Not entirely realistic -- is anything really that green? Beautiful to look at, though. One of my favorites for this year. |

Studies show all that time in front of the computer is withering in-person social skills. Luckily, you can fight back.
Studies show all that time in front of the computer is withering in-person social skills. Luckily, you can fight back.
Working a room was never everyone's cup of tea, and the introverts among us are constantly dreading the hand-shaking and small talk of events with strangers. And now research says, young people are generally getting even worse at face-to-face interaction. "If you're a digital native, you should be aware that the Internet may have partially re-wired your brain in such a way that when you meet people face to face, you're less capable of figuring out what they're thinking," John Mullen recently wrote on the HBR blogs, citing a handful of fairly alarming studies.
So if you're a young entrepreneur more comfortable updating your social networks or pouring over your business plan than schmoozing at parties, what's to be done? With in-person networking a necessity for any would-be business owner, you can't just recede into cyberspace. You need to work on your ability to mingle.
In the past experts like author Stever Robbins have suggested fairly radical interventions, advising young people to go cold turkey from many of their devices and practice actually talking to people until it no longer unsettles them. In an earlier interview with me he suggested:
Develop empathy, especially if the thought scares you. Commit to spending two weeks without using your cell phone. And without texting and tweeting. Do all of your communications by planning in advance and by meeting up with people and doing face-to-face interactions. If you can't do that for two weeks to a month, seriously fix that, because it is simply the case that the way human beings are wired, the way relationships get formed is face to face. Relationships do not get formed textually. Very shallow relationships do, but the people you're going to depend on for big breaks are going to be people you have relationships with and not necessarily the people you tweet with all the time. Even if you don't use it very often, you need the skill set of empathetic face to face interaction if you want to be a long-term success.
But if that sounds like a bit too daunting a treatment for your taste (or your level of in-person jitters), there are other options. MIT Sloan's Improvisations blog, for example, recently offered 10 tips to work a room like a pro from Ellen Keiley, a member of the law firm K&L Gates, and Richard J. DeAgazio, the former president of Boston Capital Securities. Among them:

Recipe by JELL-O
"These chocolate-coated banana cake balls are fun and easy to make. Decorate them with multi-colored sprinkles for a festive dessert."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 cup cold milk
1 (3.4 ounce) package JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
1 small fully ripe banana, mashed
1 (10.5 ounce) package frozen pound cake, thawed, crumbled into fine crumbs
3 (4.4 ounce) packages milk chocolate bars, chopped
2 tablespoons multi-colored sprinkles
This recipe was awesome. Super moist! Another reviewer was confused about the frozen pound cake. It's pound cake that is frozen and found in your grocer's frozen food section. I used Sara Lee's light pound cake, but there were other frozen pound cake options which I'm sure would work just as well.
These were so horrible that I threw them away -
11 Ratings
I made these with a few revisions the 2nd time. Made my own pound cake, used bananna sugar free pudding and topped with chopped walnuts, everyone I have shared them with thought they were delicious! As did we. Sharing them with Feather River Hospital Volunteers tomorrowin Paradise, CA mmmm good!
I really enjoyed these, I used 2% milk and sugar free pudding, came out awesome!
A small banana is key! The inside of mine turned out gooey; not that the kids cared. I was hoping for more flavor as well on the inside. The amount of chocolate was perfect and I recommend using the footnote regarding the plastic fork.
I made these tonight, used a store made marble pound cake - neither hubby or myself liked them. After eating one, I thought may be good with peanut butter instead of banana, but don't think I'll try these again.
This was just Ok to me. A little too chewy. I poured the milk into the pudding and it just didnt seem right. Super thick. I doubled checked the recipe, Yep, only 1/2 cup so I went with 1/2 cup. I dont think I would make them again.
We did not care for this.

Degree course
You will take French plus two other subjects in the first year (Semesters 1 and 2).
Year 1 and Year 2 modules concentrate primarily on the development of France and the Francophone world from the French Revolution until the present day, with a primary focus on the 20th and 21st centuries. You will study aspects of French and Francophone language, history, society, business, literature, art and film. In the Year 3 and Year 4 you will continue your study of the French language, and there is the opportunity to specialise in a range of areas related to France and the wider 'Francophone world'.
Semesters 1 - 4
Semesters 1 – 4 give you an understanding of contemporary French and Francophone cultures and their evolution. You may start French at Introductory, Intermediate or Advanced level. Introductory and Intermediate students may subsequently join the Advanced class and go on to Honours in French.
The Advanced class – for students with a Higher or A-level in French – combines language learning with the study of French/Francophone culture and society using texts, films and online material. It is also possible to study film in intercultural modules taught by the Literature and Languages division in the School of Arts and Humanities.
Semesters 5 - 8
Semesters 5 – 8 offer increased specialisation. All students take core language modules in spoken and written French, alongside option modules in which you can develop your areas of expertise. Students choose from a wide variety of option modules including, for example:
- French and Francophone Detective Fictions
- Introduction to African Literature and Cinema
- The Cinema of the Fantastic
- Culture and Identity in Contemporary France
- Postcolonial France
- Transatlantic Cinema
- The French Atlantic Slave Trade
- Quebec Cinema
- French and Francophone Cultures of Travel
- Women Writers on Women
- Screening the City
- Exoticism in French Cinema
Teaching and assessment
Teaching is by a mixture of lectures, tutorials and small group language classes. In addition, the use of information technology and native language assistants encourages rapid progress. Assessment focuses on a variety of skills gained across the modules studied and ranges from translations to essays, from grammar tests to oral exams. We use both continuous assessment and final examinations.
