The almost annual Scofield Snow Ride is back and it is better than ever this year. Carbon County Recreation along with over 30 local businesses are sponsoring the nearly annual event. Feb. 14 is the day that anyone interested can trek his or her way through the Manti-LaSal National Forest.

The registration fee includes participation in the event, an official snow ride T-shirt, and a delicious dutch oven lunch.

About Thailand
Since 1832, the United States and Thailand have maintained a strong relationship. Through its assistance programs, USAID has built a solid foundation of partnership in development with the Royal Thai Government.
Despite Thailand's remarkable economic progress and advancement as a middle-income country, persistent and critical development challenges still remain. Trafficking in persons for forced prostitution and labor, and the relatively high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, are some of the country's main development challenges. And as in many Southeast Asian countries, climate change remains a threat—elevating the danger of natural and man-made disasters, droughts, extreme weather patterns and sea level rise, and putting economic growth and people's lives at risk.
USAID's assistance in Thailand supports the responsible use of natural resources; reducing the incidence of HIV/AIDS; preventing human and wildlife trafficking; promoting peace and civic reconciliation; and helping civil society groups work more closely with the government.

Warmer temperatures are again headed to Central Florida, but so is the possibility for some rain.
After a brisk morning, high temperatures on Tuesday will reach the mid-70s in Central Florida. There are no rain chances, and the overnight low will be near 55 degrees.
"A front in the Florida Panhandle and Georgia will stay away from Central Florida, but it will be a focal point for more energy into Wednesday," Local 6 meteorologist Troy Bridges said.
South winds ahead of the front will increase rain chances to 30 percent by Wednesday afternoon, which will see a high of 77 degrees in Orlando.
Temperatures will warm near 80 from Thursday through the weekend.
Rain chances will be at 20 percent through Friday.
Expect rain chances to end for the weekend.

That was dreadful.
I've seen better defense played at all-star games.
That was dreadful.
I've seen better defense played at all-star games.
A noteworthy quote from Archie via today's Dayton Daily Worker,
Vee to me is the most talented, gifted scorer on our team, Miller said.
Last time Archie made such a bold claim, he was touting Dillard as one of the best PGs in the A10. Here's hoping he's as on the mark with this observation.
Kavanaugh is lucky he got off with just expulsion.
Choo got it, dude.
Brian Roberts plays for the Hornets now? Hurrah!
Choo got it, dude.
Dayton, Dayton, Dayton...
Why am I not surprised?
Choo got it, dude.
They needed that game last night. Murray State is going to be a huge challenge on Saturday. They're not as good as last year, but Canaan is still there, and they're still 9-1.
Watch, they'll totally blow out Murray State, too. And I'll be shaking my head. It happens almost every year.
Choo got it, dude.
They're not going to blow out anyone if Kevin Dillard isn't playing, and judging by how he walked off the court last night in pain, I doubt he will be Saturday.
Having said that, you simply can't expect to beat solid teams like Illinois St. when you give up 74 points to them on your home court.
See? SEE?!
Choo got it, dude.
Dillard put up one the guttiest performances in the second half that I have seen in a long time. It was obvious his back was still hurting yet he basically took over the game in the last 10 minutes.
As goes Dillard, as go the Flyers. When he is on top of his game, he makes everyone around him better.
Good news: you guys will probably end the Jimmy Carter streak this year.
Anyone know any local bars that carry the Pac12 Network, which is carrying the Dayton/USC game on Sunday?

Hopefully by now you've recovered from your holiday weekend (we're almost back on track) and are ready for the latest What Was She Wearing: Answers! As always, the peerless interns of WhoWhatWearDaily.com, Allison, Jessica, Cory, and Lily, meticulously compiled all the information for this story. Jessica Alba
If you have been a loyal follower of WWSW: Answers!, you know that the bags Jessica Alba carries have been featured frequently, as they are a subject favored by our readers. Jessica's particular arm candy in the photo above is Gerard Darel's Studded Havana 24 Hour bag ($725). It's an ideal companion to have on a day spent running errands and happens to be a celebrity purse of choice (Lindsay Lohan, Angelina Jolie, and Eva Longoria all love Gerard Darel). You can treat yourself to an early Christmas gift by ordering one in the moleskin color like Jessica's carrying or perhaps you'll exercise your options and pick up a black one instead?
Vanessa Hudgens
Much like our readers, the members of the WhoWhatWearDaily.com office are always looking for fashionable influences, so we were grateful this Thanksgiving holiday for the extra time it allowed us to seek out celebrity trends. Case in point: Vanessa Hudgens. Everyone's favorite High School Musical starlet stepped out of Hollywood hotspot, Koi on Thanksgiving Eve, in some inspiring attire. You have all been asking about her bag and we're here to report that it is Miu Miu's Vitello Lux Satchel in Mauve ($1155). It comes with a removable shoulder strap, and side bow details that are perfectly holiday-appropriate. The designer behind her awesome outerwear is G-Star, and you can snatch up a similar leather jacket at any G-Star boutique. Try 323.658.6028 or G-Star for locations. We're appreciative that LA's November climate is still warm enough for Vanessa to show off her Prada Open-Toed Pumps; they are available online in gold or try Prada for other colors ($1700). Lastly, get similar pants via a pair of J Brand Ankle Skinny Stretch Jean in black ($159).
Keri Russell
Ever since her esteemed Felicity days we have maintained a special place in our hearts for Keri Russell (if we're being honest, our adoration dates back to the Mickey Mouse Club) so we take great pleasure in her What Was She Wearing debut today. Per your queries, Keri walked the red carpet at a Red Envelope event earlier this month carrying Kenneth Cole's Skinny Dip Satchel ($186 on sale). A combination of silk, patent leather, and suede, this bag is very adaptable and looks equally suitable at a fancy event, a la Keri, or in more casual settings. Keri also wore Black Halo's Bubble Sleeve Jacket in black, which is another piece that we will praise for its ability to dress an outfit up or down ($343). You can purchase the jacket online in white or if you must have it in black, visit blackhalo.com for stockist information.
Lindsay Lohan
As she possesses a reliably trendy and influential style, we're all very happy to have Lindsay Lohan back in the limelight. Earlier this month, readers noted that Lohan stepped out of the Byron Williams hair salon in a sweater that looked absolutely cute and comfy. While we can't all pull off gorgeous blonde locks, we can own her cozy cardigan. Knitted with what we can only imagine is the perfect blend of wool, silk, and cashmere, Lohan's Tiger Intarsia Cardigan by Alexander Wang is available now for purchase online ($649). -Jessica Amento

Egg is one of the most common causes of food allergy. It is estimated that most children outgrow egg allergy by the age of five, but some people remain allergic for a lifetime. The egg is made up of many different proteins, some of which are allergenic and others which are not. Most people with an egg allergy are allergic to the egg white proteins, and others are allergic to the yolk.
The most commonly reported symptoms seen with this kind of allergy include: atopic dermatitis (eczema) , urticaria (hives) , asthma, allergic rhinitis , anaphylactic shock and digestive symptoms.
Foods that contain egg products are everywhere, including baked goods, mixes, batters, sauces, frostings, breaded meats, breakfast cereals, cake flours, candies, cookies, creamy fillings, mayonnaise, meatloaf. meatballs, meringues, noodle soups, many processed meats, puddings, root beers, salad dressings, spaghetti, and even some wines and much more. There are also cosmetics, shampoos and pharmaceuticals (including flu vaccines) that contain egg proteins, so be sure to read the labels carefully and ask.
What makes it even more difficult to avoid is that eggs are not always listed as "egg" on labels. Watch out for the terms albumin, globulin, lecithin, livetin, lysozyme, ovalbumin, ovoglobulin, ovomucin, ovomucoid, ovotransferrin, ovovitelia, ovovitellin, silici albuminate, simplesse, and vitellin - these all imply egg protein is present. It is also crucial to watch out for how the label says these ingredients are used in the product, as binders, emulsifiers, or coagulants.
As with most allergies, avoidance is key. Make sure to read all labels for foods, medicines, cosmetics, creams and ointments that may contain any type or amount of egg. A history of allergic reactions shortly after exposure to eggs might suggest an allergy. However, this should be confirmed with a skin prick test or RAST. Talk to your doctor about a complete diagnosis.

Why are all the DAISY books the same price?

Why DAISY audio books?
Three reasons our DAISY audio books are better than other audio books:
- Most books fit on one CD: there's around 25 hours of reading time on a single CD. This is usually more than enough space for most books. It means less swapping of CDs and less likelihood you'll lose half the book if CDs get separated.
- They remember your place: you'll never waste time trying to find the part you got to last time as our DAISY audio books remember your place for the next time you decide to read it.
- You can skip to the part you want to read: this makes reading reference books or short stories much easier. And as you can flick through the DAISY audio book to the bit you want to read, it's perfect as a teaching aid or for those that insist on reading the ending first!

Midshipmen Visit Chief Medical Examiner's Office
Posted on: December 17, 2013 08:00 EST by LT Harry Qui
Recently, a group of midshipmen from the Naval Academy Chemistry Club visited the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Maryland to learn about the office's fascinating history, core missions and how it differs from a coroner's office.
Bruce Goldfarb, assistant to the Chief Medical Examiner led the tour.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Maryland, the first statewide medical examiner's office in the nation, was established in 1939 at a time when coroners' offices dominated. There are two major distinctions between them. A medical examiner is appointed, therefore, expected to be nonpartisan, and a medical examiner requires formal training.
In the state of Maryland, a medical degree is required for medical examiners, which means they are experts on the subject matter. Currently, the chief medical examiner oversees two deputies and 11 assistant medical examiners, as well as several toxicologists, epidemiologists and forensic investigators.
The building where the Medical Examiner's Office resides was designed with the future in mind, allowing the office to expand with increases in population without reaching maximum capacity for several decades.
Since the medical examiner's office is considered as a hospital, the building was designed as such. What sets it apart from many of its contemporaries is the ability to examine specimens with unknown and potentially hazardous pathogens.
After a brief introduction, the mids toured the Scarpetta House, named after a character in author Patricia Cornwell's crime series. In this staging room, different crime scenes can be recreated allowing a more in-depth analysis of each case. In addition, the next generation of investigators can be trained using the staging room as well.
Next, the midshipmen were guided to the observation room where the vital organs and fluids of the deceased that are important to the investigation are collected. From there, the group was led to one of the biosafety level 2 examination rooms, where the deceased with questionable contaminants can be examined by the investigators safely. Afterwards, the midshipmen visited a museum of forensic science.
The museum contained a collection of artifacts from crime victims. The other side of the museum contains a collection of dioramas of recreated real crime scenes, created by Frances Glessner Lee. Lee was the daughter of a very successful businessman and she devoted part of her life to the advancement of forensic science. Each diorama was arranged exactly as reported, from the teapot sitting on the stove top to the automobile parked in the garage. Every item was painstakingly created to be as realistic as possible.
The midshipmen tried their hands in solving each case depicted in the diorama by following the clues. The attention to detail of the dioramas really resonated with the group.
The midshipmen who went on the tour are all interested in medical sciences and some aspire to join the Navy Medical Corps. The goal of the trip was to inspire and motivate the mids in their studies and provided them with insights that will help them in pursuing of their dream of becoming an officer in the Navy Medical Corps.
For midshipmen interested in a similar trip, there are plans for another one next semester. Be on the lookout for the event and experience what is like to be a medical examiner yourself.

I'm sorry to join and ask this here. I recently adopted a puppy from a private owner/seller. She claimed the puppy was given to her from a friend who didn't know her dog was pregnant. They decided to rehome him because they didn't have enough time for him.
The ad said chihuahua/maltese puppy. He is chunky and I am definitely doubting he's a chihuahua maltese because he doesn't look like any of the pictures on google. My parents and cousin seem to think he is part pitbull. I'm not sure... I don't know what to look for. Here is his description and I'm including pictures. As of right now he is supposedly 3 or 4 months but I think he's older than that. He weighs probably 7-8 lbs. He is tan with a white belly and white paws. He has a dark spot in the middle of his long flat tail. He has floppy ears with a little dent/chip in the corner. Brown eyes. A lot of whiskers (Didn't know if this was a pit trait or not, couldn't find out on google) on his cheeks, chin, next to his eyes and above his eyes where an "eyebrow" would be.
I don't have a problem with pitbulls and it's not like I'm running to rehome him if he is part pit. We just did not really want a big dog and we want something chihuahua to mate with our girl later. Let me know what you all think, thanks so much.

Approaches to Teaching Milton's
Paradise Lost
First Edition
Editor(s): Galbraith M. Crump
Pages: x & 201 pp.
Published: 1986
ISBN: 9780873524940 (paperback)
ISBN: 9780873524933 (hardcover)
"...a useful handbook for teachers of Milton on various levels, since it summarizes critical opinion about course materials (editions, recommended readings, teaching aids, the instructor's library) and approaches to teaching (from the University of Wisconsin to the Naval Academy)."
Milton Quarterly
"Milton's influence on later poets and his debt to earlier ones," writes the editor of this book, "define him as central to the study of English literature." Of all Milton's works,
Paradise Lost
is his supreme and most influential accomplishment, but the scope of the epic, the difficulties in its form, and the strangeness of its contexts challenge student and teacher alike. The essays collected here will help teachers at all levels make Milton's poem accessible to today's students.
The volume, like others in the MLA's Approaches to Teaching World Literature series, is divided into two parts. The first part, "Materials," reviews editions of
Paradise Lost
and of other works by Milton and surveys anthologies, reference works, background resources, and critical studies. In the second part, "Approaches," seventeen teachers, most of whom have taught
Paradise Lost
regularly for years, offer suggestions for presenting the work in the classroom. The first group of essays provides overviews of the epic and ways of introducing it to students. The next section offers specific teaching strategies, which range from approaching
Paradise Lost
by first reading Milton's sonnets to dealing with his treatment of Eve and of relations between the sexes. The final group suggests teaching the backgrounds and contexts of the poem, including the contemporary response to
Paradise Lost
and the epic's many allusions to classical literature.

Hello, hello dear Quakers.
As our comrade quiet_L, I have a doubt about my current level, I often spend Tier 3 to Tier 4, without too many reasons (I think).
In Tier 3 (I have little time) I too easily kills another without enjoying it.
In Tier 4, I normally play, I do not have a huge ratio and not too low, I'm in the "standard", but I do not know what I descend as soon as I got back.
For this, I have a record taken in a completely random game (me being the last to fall under the hand) do a part in Tier 4. I do not play very well, and I do not play too badly in this part, I think being in "my normal days." I want you to tell me if there is something better. Brain, Skill, Moove? It is up to you to tell me.
I look at a record that SIAS is painful, and not necessarily fun, but to all those who have the desire, courage, patience, I made a call for help!
Hoping quiet as our comrade-L have answers that will advance em!
Good viewing (and good luck ^ ^)
So I want your opinions, advice you, your reviews (and your insults hihi) improved for me and understand why I can not stay Tier 4.
(sorry for my English, i'm French ^^)

The coincidental fireworks display at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds added insult to injury for the Watertown Red and Black.
The Northeastern Pennsylvania Miners scored on a 14-yard touchdown pass with just under two minutes to play, then came through with an interception near the goal line to escape with a 15-12 victory to spoil the Red and Blacks Empire Football League home opener on Saturday night.
The pyrotechnics from the Watertown Rams collegiate baseball game on the nearby field went off right at the conclusion of the game, and the NEPA players celebrated accordingly.
Could have, this game was attainable for us. Red and Black coach George Ashcraft said. Could have and should have. We were there. We had it.
The Red and Black dropped to 0-2 and may have lost running back Joe Brennan, who left the game midway through the third quarter and exited the field soon after to get X-rays on his hand.
NEPA quarterback JP Antosh entered the game with two minutes, 16 seconds left to play. He found Brandon Decker for a 14-yard touchdown pass 30 seconds later to give NEPA a 15-12 lead.
Coming in cold off the bench, it was crazy, Antosh said. I sat there the whole game waiting.
Once I got in there, I think their defense was a little bit tired, because it was a battle all game long. But I got in there with fresh legs and I was able to get a little edge on them and make plays, Antosh added.
The Miners, based in Scranton, improved to 2-1 overall and 1-0 in the league.
Angel Hickman returned the ensuing kickoff 55 yards to put the Red and Black at the NEPA 25-yard line with one minute, 36 seconds to play.
But less than a minute later, quarterback Tyler Michaelwiczs pass near the end zone was tipped by the wide receiver and landed in the hands of a Miners defender to seal the victory. The Red and Black officially committed three turnovers.
NEPAs game-winning drive started on the Red and Blacks 35-yard line after a botched punt attempt. The snap sailed over the head of Watertown punter Garrick Cook, well out of his reach.
It seems like thats been the story for a couple weeks now, a couple key plays is what turns around and bites us, said Michaelwicz, who completed 8-of-20 passes for 104 yards.
Rookie running back Anton Gadson, who graduated from Watertown High School less than a month ago, replaced Brennan after his injury and provided a spark for the Red and Black.
He took his first two carries a combined 49 yards to set Watertown up at the NEPA 5-yard line.
He eventually ran it in on a 4th-and-goal play from the one-yard line to put Watertown up 12-7 late in the third quarter.
I just heard my name be called and Ive been patient, waiting, Gadson said. I guess tonight was just my time to do my thing.
The Red and Black defense forced six NEPA turnovers five interceptions and one turnover and downs. Josh Cox and Jordan Johnson each finished with two interceptions.
It held the Miners offense to 139 total yards in 11 possessions. NEPAs two scoring drives started on the Red and Blacks 11 and 35-yard lines, respectively.
Rookie Derrek Dalton finished with a team-high 13 tackles, while Alex Tibbles and Rob Hughes added seven apiece.
Its kind of frustrating. I thought the defense, we played a hell of a game, Hughes said. We forced turnovers again, we were shutting them down. Not much more you can ask of a defense than what we did tonight.
Edgar Givens made a spectacular catch on a fade in the back corner of the end zone to give the Red and Black a 6-0 lead late in the first quarter. He finished with 60 yards on three catches.
The Red and Black has a bye this Saturday, and will play a nonleague game at the Finger Lakes Impact on Aug. 3.
It will return home to host EFL rival Plattsburgh on Aug. 10.

I took the trip down to Bowie for the first game of the Eastern League Playoffs. Unsurprisingly, Dylan Bundy was the game one starter. I was also able to catch Bundy in his first game at Bowie, which Jordan had a scouting report on.
He did not disappoint in my second go-around seeing him. Akron has a fairly decent lineup although not the strongest in the Eastern League. Lonnie Chisnehall is on a rehab assignment, and was easily the best bat in the lineup.
Truly a pleasure to watch him pitch.

Does anyone know if the Gabrielino Trail from Chantry to JPL is passable? I plan on doing the 28 miler this weekend solo but not sure if it's possible after the fire. Thoughts anyone?
I'd be interested in knowing that too!
Call the FS.Last I did it (months ago), the Gabrielino was closed from the junction at Bear Canyon to roughly Oakwilde.Tons of turricula out there.
I just checked with the Forest Service regarding the Gabrielino Trail, whether it is open in its entirety. They said from Switzers to the Arroyo is closed. It looks like I'll have to do a modified route. I will post what I find.
Looking forward to a report of the route you took. I've wondered about this trail myself coming from Chantry Flats.
Mangus, I just went on your blog and noticed you spend [last weekend] at Henninger? I was there last weekend leading a group of scouts and I think I noticed your tarp tent. We were cowboy camping due to the heat! We were at "Upper Camp."I will post on my trip this weekend soon. (spoiler: Gabrielino Trail is in fact closed from Swizters to Oakwild)
Yeah, I decided to hike late afternoon Saturday to meet a couple of my UL buddies. It was HOT! It was just an overnight. I cant wait for your TR, looking forward to reading it.
I posted my trip in "Post-Trip"http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=69215
Thanks for your trip report John. The last time I went over Newcomb was when I did the Gabrieleno Trail in 2009 before the Station Fire. From JPL the trail is open to the Paul Little Picnic area about 1.5 miles beyond Gould Camp. There is a nice check dam falls up there.A couple of alternatives are available resulting in similar mileage. Starting at Millard Canyon, the Sam Merrill Trail, or the Henninger Trail you can get to Switzer and connect with the Gabrielino trail there. The approach through Bear Canyon and the trail camp there are open. The trails all skirt the Station Fire closure area and they all go past Mt. Lowe and pick up the Tom Sloan Trail over Tom Sloan Saddle and into Bear Canyon. I haven't done the section from Mt. Lowe through Bear Canyon to Switzer but want to. If you do it please post a report. I was up at Henninger when you and the troop were there. Too bad we didn't hook up. That was the SUL challenge hike. Pete and I were at Sub-5 base. Angus will have to tell his own story!
Read the TR and it still amazes me that these places are right in our own backyard!When we were at Henninger, I took the challenge and tried to get to a 5 lb. SUL weight...I failed miserably!Posted this on my blog about Don and Pete's SUL load (http://theshadedtrail.blogspot.com/)."For this trip, my total pack weight was right at 10 lbs. (including food & water) - great right? The two guys on this trip had a 5 lb total pack load each! That's Super Ultralight!"
It would be great to hear what trail conditions are on the trail from Bear Canyon to Sloan Saddle. I went up Bear Canyon from Switzer's this Spring. I got as far as the Trail Camp at the south end of Bear Canyon. It looked like the trail was in very bad shape from there up to Sloan Saddle. I didn't have time to explore it. I have been up the other side of Sloan Saddle from Millard Canyon last winter. That trail was in poor shape, but doable. Lots of washouts, blowdowns, and brush. I found leather gloves and treking poles helpful. (Maybe some clippers?) The trail is heavily used from Millard to Dawn Mine. The trail immediately above Dawn Mine is hard to find at first, but then goes well to the Grand Cyn. A large group of us went thru to Sloan Saddle and on toward Mt. Lowe in Feb.I also explored the Gabrielino trail southbound from Switzer's last Spring. It is posted as closed at the turnoff to Bear Cyn. I went about a mile further. It was washed out and overgrown but passable. I think the worst part might be getting around the dam at Paul Little(?). I didn't like the idea of getting into trouble by myself on a posted closed trail. The FS might not see the humor of the situation.- Scott

A refreshing floral dip into springtime
When the blossoms burst forth in spring, it's a tradition to take a picnic and bottle of sake and enjoy the beauty. Noriko, one of our product inventors, hails from Japan and this beautiful Bath Bomb represents what it's like to be in a park while the breeze blows through the blossoms in the trees. Instead of heading to the park, lay back in serene waters while the gorgeous scents of mimosa and jasmine envelop you to give you the joyful feeling of springtime. Sakura: simple, elegant, and enduringly beautiful bathing.
VeganThis product does not contain animal products of any kind.
Fill your bathtub with warm water, drop in the Bath Bomb and lay back to enjoy its lovely color and gorgeous fragrance. Some LUSH Bath Bombs contain flower petals and others have secret surprises (if you prefer not to have these pieces floating in your tub, wrap the Bath Bomb in a recycled nylon before use).

Public transport in the city is expensive, but efficient, consisting of an integrated network of fast, modern underground U-Bahn lines, S-Bahn city trains, trams and buses that operate from 4am to 2am. Several night bus routes also operate from 1am. Fares are standard and are based on a zone system; most tickets are valid for an hour and can be used for any amount of transfers between all modes of public transport within that time. Tickets must be bought prior to boarding. The Frankfurt Card (available from the tourist office) is good value, allowing for unlimited travel within greater Frankfurt, plus airport shuttle transport and discounted admission to museums. Taxis are safe and plentiful, but expensive. Driving a car in the city involves rush hour congestion, expensive parking lots and confusing road systems, so it's best to park and use public transport.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between the last Sunday in March and the Saturday before the last Sunday in October).
220 volts, 50Hz. European-style two-pin plugs are standard.
The unit of currency is the Euro (EUR), divided into 100 cents. ATMs and exchange bureaux are widely available. The major credit cards are becoming more widely accepted in large shops, hotels and restaurants, although Germans themselves prefer to carry cash. The quickest and most convenient way to change money is to obtain cash from one of the ATM machines that are ubiquitous features on all German streets. Banks are closed on weekends, but exchange bureaux at airports and main railway stations are open daily.
The international access code for Germany is +49. Telephone numbers in Germany can range from four to nine digits. There are surcharges on international calls made from hotels; it is often cheaper to use public telephone boxes in post offices, which use phone cards. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in the main towns.
Emergencies: 110 (Police); 112 (Ambulance/Fire)

Frankfurt has a temperate continental climate, characterised by warm summers with occasional wet days, and cold winters. Temperatures are not extreme and almost never severe. Summers are sunny and warm but can also be quite wet, with frequent rain and sometimes quite high humidity. Winters are fairly cold and can bring occasional violent storms; light snowfall is to be expected and it can get windy which adds to the chill factor. The average temperature in mid-winter (January) is 34°F (1°C), and in mid-summer (July) the average temperature is 66°F (19°C). Although summer is definitely the best time to visit Frankfurt, it is also the most popular time and it can get busy, crowded and expensive. Outside of this period, visitors can get pleasant weather and plenty of sunshine in spring (April and May) and autumn (September and October).
Frankfurt Airport has trains from two railway stations: the long-distance railway station is at the AIRail Terminal; and there is a local railway station for S-Bahn, regional, and local trains at Terminal 1, Level 1. Both railway stations are linked to Terminal 2 via buses and the Sky Line. Buses leave regularly for Frankfurt and other destinations from outside Terminals 1 and 2; tickets can be bought from the bus driver. Airline shuttles, including Lufthansa Airport Shuttle and Hahn Airport shuttle, depart from Terminal 1 outside Arrival Hall B.
Car hire companies represented in both terminals at the airport include Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz and Sixt.
Taxis can be found outside either terminal and will take 20-30 minutes for the eight mile (13km) drive to the city centre. Taxis are metered.
The two terminals are connected by the Sky Line people mover.
Frankfurt Airport is one of the best-equipped airports in the world; it even offers a casino. There are numerous restaurants, shops, bars and cafes in both terminals, and banks, bureaux de change and ATMs are in both Arrivals and Departures. A business centre offers internet, fax and secretarial facilities. Other facilities include a hairdresser, chapel and children's play areas.
Each terminal at Frankfurt International Airport has its own parking facility; 30 minutes costs between €2.50 and €5, and charges are between €4 and €5 per hour thereafter. Long-term parking starts from €25.50 per day and the more distant parking lots are connected to the terminals by free shuttle services.
Free wifi is available at hotspots throughout the airport.

Time for his 3pm apple sauce.Do you hear that sound? It's the sound of Godsmack warming up their instruments. What could possibly have the ridiculously goateed rockers half-heartedly tuning and making that "jukka jukka jukka" noise? The return of Vin Diesel as Xander Cage, that's what.Of course, that's all old news. Today we have an extreme update. All the die-hard Xander fans who ripped their neck tatts off in solidarity, should be prepared to sew them back on. Not only will director Rob Cohen return to the franchise but he'll be bringing James Cameron's fancy 3D cameras with him. Probably uses a pretty cool truck to carry them too."I feel what we did in the beginning of the decade was bring a different attitude to the action movie and a different kind of hero. With the new 3D instrument and the techniques I can apply, we can create a different kind of cutting-edge experience in 3D by shooting it that way from the beginning the way James Cameron did 'Avatar.' This won't be fantasy characters, it takes place on Earth in real time. That's a new dimension to be explored, and I'm excited."That's right earthlings. You're about to be groin-punched in the face by a non-fantasy character that can surf on speeding missiles. You have until late 2011 to vacate the planet. (ComingSoon)
Their recent strokes have only made them funnier. Harlold & Kumar creators Hayden Schlossberg and Jon Kurwitz are moving from hamburgers to baked goods. The duo is mounting American Pie 4 as both writers and directors. That leaves directing duties on A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas to newcomer Todd Strauss Schulson.The story for the latest Pie sequel is being kept under wraps, though I'm sure embarrassment, bizarre sexual fetishes, and Jim's Dad will remain major components. None of the original cast has officially signed on yet, but extreme interest has been voiced. You don't say? Should I go with a Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Shannon Elizabeth, or Natasha Lyonne joke here… You know what, I'm gonna let it be. I'm sure the fact that the band camp girl is more prosperous than any of them is shameful enough. (THR)
Ryan Reynolds is going to die. It's a fact of life that we all need to be prepared for. I feel like you're at an age where you're mature enough to handle that news. I'm talking about in the movies only of course. The real Ryan Reynolds will never die. He will be around forever. You hear me God?Producer Neal Moritz announced that Reynolds will follow Change-Up with a starring role in the upcoming adaptation of the graphic novel R.I.P.D.. In the film, he will play a recently-deceased cop who joins the Rest In Peace Department – which is the police department for the dead, naturally. Reynold's dead partner in the buddy cop film is described as a gunslinger who's been dead for hundreds of years. I take that to mean he wasn't that good of a gunslinger. (Collider)

Anna Paquin has shocked the world with the announcement that she is bi-sexual. Pictures please! Umm, only because I'm not sure that I believe her. So I'm going to need to see those pictures. Pictures that I can keep for a while. And video. None of that grainy, night-cam bullsh*t either. From E!: Well, we didn't see this one coming. Anna Paquin has made a surprise—and we're guessing welcome—declaration of her sexuality. "I'm bisexual," the engaged "True Blood" star announces in a new PSA for the Give a Damn campaign, a project started by Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Fund, fighting for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality. You may remember Rosie O'Donnell coming out in a similiar manner with her Give a Ham campaign. Oh, whatever you guys. It was this or write some trite speculation about The Avengers. Watch Anna's PSA after the jump.
Since the start of NBC TV's fall season we have been treated to the hilarious and at times very cynical life of the Greendale Community College student in the aptly titled show "Community." From the oddball university reject scholar to the burnt out faculty and scheming administration, the show never fails to deliver the wacky world of affordable education. For the past 5 years of my post-high school life this is a world I've know far too well, with my main thought being what can I do to get a C grade around here.Let us now do a comparison of the characters we watch on TV's "Community" and what we would see on a real community college campus, a place where anyone with $26 dollars (the cost per academic unit in California) in their pocket can claim to have some college experience.
Last we heard, Darren Aronofsky had decided to walk from the troubled Robocop remake due to his unwillingness to present the film in gimmicky 3D. It appears that he and the cash-strapped MGM have worked something out and he's ready to create the future of law enforcement according to our source. An insider at Digital Dimension has confirmed their company has been conducting visual effects tests and have received a great deal of feedback from Aronofsky. Word is that he "just loves the stuff." Our tipster also made mention that Sam Worthington is very likely to fill the role of Officer Murphy. It's his role to lose from what we've been told. Of course, Worthington's schedule is jam-packed with the adaptations of Dan Dare and The Last Days of American Crime and there's no official word when Robocop will ramp up. Though it is expected that Aronofsky is deciding between that or Serena with hot mom Angelina Jolie as his next project. We'll keep you posted. We realize this news sounds dodgy so to sweeten the pot we have an EXCLUSIVE look at early composite from Digital Dimension AFTER THE JUMP…

Everyone's favorite stoners (besides Cheech & Chong; Spiccoli; the guys in Half-Baked; Chris Tucker's Smokey; The Dude; Method Man and Redman; the Pineapple Expressers; Jay and Silent Bob; the guy with the hat in Dazed and Confused; Kristen Stewart; Tenacious D; Snoop Dogg; Doug Benson; and Brenda Blethyn in Saving Grace) Harold & Kumar are gearing up for another big screen adventure.

(Deadline)
Russell Brand will be added in post.Up until last week, Goldie Hawn comedy remakes were an untapped Goldie-mine (slaps self, faxes resume to Leno). Then came news that Jennifer Lopez would focus her being a B-word energies toward a remake of Overboard. And this morning comes casting that makes more sense. Anna Faris is strapping on Hawn's combat boots for a remake of Private Benjamin. From THR:"Private Benjamin" is being called up to duty again. New Line is remaking the seminal 1980 comedy, reconfiguring it for the new century as a starring vehicle for Anna Faris."Benjamin" starred Goldie Hawn in a star-making turn as a spoiled woman who joins the Army after her husband dies during sex on their wedding night.The new take will set the story in contemporary times with modern wars as the backdrop. Insiders say the studio doesn't want to poke fun at the men and women in the service or take political potshots, but rather focus on the empowerment elements and build on the fish-out-of-water comedy.Her character's husband dies during sex on their wedding night? Maybe a more suitable casting choice would have been Tara Reid. I figure any healthy man has about 40 or 45 seconds to live once her saliva absorbs into his bloodstream.
Paramount seems very serious about actually making a Baywatch movie. So serious in fact, that they've now brought on five writers to capture the elusive tone of the master work. Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka (who wrote Jonah Hill's The Sitter) have been brought in to polish drafts from The Break-Up's Jeremy Garlick and National Security writers Jay Scherick and David Ronn. It's said the film is to be in the vain of the Charlie's Angels revamp with more of a focus on female action (read: jiggliness).Though no director or castmembers have been hired, we already know where this thing is going. Heidi Montag to star and Zack Snyder to direct. Both are masterful at capturing slow-motion running for different reasons. I'd imagine David Hasslehoff would make some kind of appearance as no actor alive can perform mouth to mouth on a cheeseburger as well as he can. Well, maybe Vince Vaughn could. (THR)
Russell Brand will be added in post. Before you start salivating, this movie isn't about a tall stack smothered in maple syrup with a side of hash browns and sausage. Kaley Cuoco, Sheldon's dreamy tall stack on The Big Bang Theory, has joined the Easter Bunny comedy (is that a thing?) I, Hop. Russell Brand and James Marsden are already set to star in the film that I'm sure will do for Easter what Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights did for Hanukkah. Cuoco will play Marsden's character's sister, "who allows Marsden to live with her when he gets kicked out by his parents because he injures a big f*cking bunny rabbit and brings it home to live with him." Talk about a bad house guest! I just hope there's a gag with him in a mailbox. That joke gets me every time. (THR)

Though Tom Petty lyrics would lead you to believe Reseda to be a haven for vampires, Hot Tub Time Machine director Steve Pink is aiming to set the record straight with Werewolves of Reseda. The story, which is about a group of guys gradually turning into werewolves, is being described as The Hangover with a horror twist. Wouldn't that just be The Hangover with more Carrot Top footage?At any rate, it's getting all kinds of werewolf-y in here. Off the top of my head I can think of six or seven werewolf-centric projects already released or in production. Between all that Twilight stuff, The Wolfman, MTV's "Teen Wolf" series, MMA Werewolves, The Monster Squad, David Hayter's Wolves, and Alec Baldwin hosting the Oscars, there's never been an easier time for really hairy dudes to get work.

Back in the good-old days, the elderly were revered as a valuable source of knowledge. Their vast life experiences were respected not only as a link to the past, but also as guide for the future. Yes, old people were once a cherished commodity. Just kidding! I assume old people have always been considered lame, but I don't know for sure because I never learned history. History is for old people, and I hate old people. But I will say this; in the world of Hollywood make-believe, there are a few old dudes that I would not want to piss off. Luckily we live in the real world where old dudes can barely walk. But all the same, here's a list of eight movie geezers you don't want to mess with.
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and DJ Jazzy Jeff before a show on the mothership. Back in November we reported that Roland Emmerich wanted to do two Independence Day sequels back-to-back. We laughed at the idea and made fun of his German accent as we reenacted his interview to MTV, but now we might have to wipe a whole lotta sauerkraut off our faces because Will Smith bitch-slapped us with his recent attachment to the projects.According to IESB, Smith is on board for both sequels, possibly titled ID4-Ever Part I and Part II, a delicious pun that I hope never changes. Emmerich stated in the previous interview that the story would again be set on Earth, and the reason for two movies is that he wants "to do a bigger story arc." If I had it my way, Part II would consist entirely of Bill Pullman shooting confused looks at the rest of the ensemble cast and then delivering one ridiculously long-winded monologue before ACTUAL Randy Quaid flies off in a jet to fight aliens. Now if we can somehow invent the technology to scoop images directly out of Randy's brain they wouldn't have to shoot even a single frame. It's practically the only thing the man thinks about these days.
Producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form have cultivated a career remaking horror films under the tutelage of Michael Bay. Remaking a film beloved by fans is always a risky maneuver, unless it's an all-child version of Scarface. Platinum Dunes has drawn the ire of fan boys and horror zealots with their take on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th. They're next effort, A Nightmare on Elm Street, is already being maligned. With that in mind they've decided to change their game by stepping away from ruining childhoods and move into ruining graphic novels. Fuller tells Dread Central:"The studio has decided to move forward and look for new types of material, which is how we got involved with Existence 2.0. I love action-y type material, and these graphic novels had that feel to them. Our writers are currently working on the script for that project."Does that mean they are done with horror entirely? More after the jump.

Back in January we reported that AMC had greenlighted the pilot for "The Walking Dead", and now the network has ordered six episodes while the pilot is still in the casting stages. These six episodes will complete the first season, an order that might not seem sufficient for fans of the graphic novel, but we shouldn't bite the brains that feed us.The biggest of those brains belongs to Frank Darabont, who wrote and directed the pilot, and who will serve as executive producer of the series. Robert Kirkman, the creator of the graphic novel, will also serve as executive producer along with Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, and Charles Eglee, who was a writer on "Dexter." "The Walking Dead" is set to premiere in October 2010 during AMC's Fearfest (formally MonsterFest), the network's annual marathon of thriller and horror films. (THR)
DIRECTOR: Frank Darabont; variousCAST: TBDSYNOPSIS: Zombies.
Legendary Pictures is gearing up for an American remake of Godzilla, the well-known monster most famous for destroying Tokyo more times than panty-sharking. This seems like a bad idea. Roland Emmerich's attempt to bring Toho's monster to American shores was terribly goofy and has really soured the public's need to see another film. For that reason, Legendary wants to make it clear that this movie will not be a sequel to that movie. It will be a re-imagining of the Japanese Godzilla films, but I'm still hesitant to trust–Wait what's this?Oh, okay. That's adorable. I can't stay mad at him now. Post-convert it to 3D and bring it on Legendary!
This one's for all of you losers who went out Saturday night and missed "Nickelodeon's Kid's Choice Awards". Your incessant need to beer bong and talk to women almost prevented you from seeing this Iron Man 2 TV spot featuring footage unseen heretofore. This new spot shows off Scarlett Johannson's talent for saying words and reveals that her character doesn't have the Russian accent she was expected to have. Up until now, I didn't even notice she hadn't talked in the previous ads. Between that and Don Cheadle's little moment, I guess the intent is to remind the public that there are actors in this movie amongst all the CGI. Also note that there is zero footage of Mickey Rourke as villain Whiplash in this spot. Test groups show that Mickey Rourke doesn't chart well with the youth demographic. Something about him being "scary" and "murder eyes." All that can be changed though by casting him as a rough around the edges babysitter who also is a spy. It's your move FOX. Watch the spot after the jump.
And the winning captions are…"It's alright, I would never tell your wife what we do to stay warm.""If this Prince of Persia gig doesn't work out I might need to crash at your place.""At least you got Spider-man.

Someone sent Break this elementary school production of Scarface. I have no idea what district would allow such explicit material to be portrayed by children, or why they used popcorn instead of cocaine, but I wish my old school was this cool. My guess is some drama teacher got his pink slip and said, "F*ck it, I'm puttin' on Scarface." Then before the administrators knew it, Tony Montana was dead face down in a hot tub and parents were clapping from sheer confusion. Check out the coolest school production ever below.
Fantasy movie-making BFF's (big fat fatties) Peter Jackson and Guillermo Del Toro have been been delayed further in their attempts to bring The Hobbit to cineplexes. Filming was slated to begin in June but has now been pushed back toward the end of the year. This push will probably jeopardize plans for the film's late 2012 release. TheOneRing.net cites the on-going money troubles over at the co-producing MGM as the reason for the delay and until they pull themselves out of debt, this film will not be receiving a greenlight.Personally I wish they'd hurry the hell up. I'd really like to be able to leave my house but I look ridiculous in this Gandalf costume that I was accidentally stitched into. (The Playlist)
Citing the lack of buck naked knife fights in recent films, David Cronenberg has reteamed with his muse Viggo Mortensen once more for a sequel to the 2007 film Eastern Promises. Steve Knight, who wrote the original as well as David Fincher's upcoming Pawn Sacrifice, has finished the script and Cronenberg is scheduled to begin filming next winter after he and Mortensen wrap The Talking Cure.At this time it is unknown if Naomi Watts and Viggo's manhood will reprise their roles but we should hope that Mortensen's package makes another appearance, because it was by far and away the breakout star of the original. Perhaps there's room for a naked rake fight in the script. (Deadline)
We all know that Battlefield Earth is bad. Like, worse than stuff on Fox Family bad. In fact, it won the "Worst Movie of the Decade" Razzie this month. An award that screenwriter J.D. Shapiro showed up to pick up in person. In today's New York Post, Shapiro wrote an apology that's ten years overdue. Think of all the people who went to their graves without this much-needed mea culpa. He also provided some backstory to explain how the turd was squeezed onto screens. Naturally, his penis is to blame:It started, as so many of my choices do, with my Willy Wonker. It was 1994, and I had read an article in Premiere magazine saying that the Celebrity Center, the Scientology epicenter in Los Angeles, was a great place to meet women.So a grown man who refers to his penis as his Willy Wonker wanted to get some crazy tail and as a result was hired to write a $100 million movie. And that led to Forest Whitaker wearing dreadlocks and Travolta talking like a castmember of Zoobilee Zoo. Hooray for Hollywood.You can read Shapiro's full piece at the NY Post. But be warned, you'll have to grit your teeth and suffer through his jokes. They're worse than ours.
Jack didn't take it very well.FOX has decided to pull the plug on 24 after eight seasons. Climbing budgets, declining ratings, and writers being unable to figure out what the hell is left for Jack Bauer to save are the main reasons the show will air its final episode in May. NBC flirted with the idea of picking up 24 next season but after their accountants crunched the numbers they realized the content wasn't worth the cheddar.There's still the possibility of a 24 feature film that would take Jack Bauer to Europe, but there's also the possibility of an Arrested Development movie, and we all know how sluggishly that's been making its adaptation. I enjoyed 24 a great deal in its earlier years, but quickly got tired of the same "Tell me where the bomb is!" storyline week after week after week after week. It had a good run. I'm glad they're ending it before it jumps a terrorist shark strapped to the gills with C4. (THR)
