3 The tutors at CTC are experts in academic studies. They are always eager to help when students face challenges in their studies CTC Alumnus, China Cambridge Tutors College London Welcome For over 50 years, CTC has been one of the UK s most successful independent sixth form colleges. Students from around the world choose CTC to access a challenging curriculum and a unique learning environment that provides a pathway to a top UK university. What makes us different is our tutor style teaching and average class sizes of six. The adult-focused environment allows students to flourish and deliver the very best set of academic results. With particular excellence in Mathematics, Science and Economics, CTC tutors guide students in acquiring the cultural, language and literacy skills required to become the leaders of tomorrow. Chris Drew Principal 3
4 Why CTC? When Roger Osborne founded CTC London in 1958 his vision was clear. Students would experience world-class education, delivered by highly-academic tutors who modelled their teaching on Oxford and Cambridge university standards. Since that time local, national and international students have embraced the academic environment at CTC London and delivered outstanding results, year on year. Progression to leading universities is expected as the tutoring programme ensures each student will maximise their potential. CLC London is just twenty minutes from the vibrant, cultural and historical city of London - offering students the opportunity to experience one of the most enchanting places in the world. Many of the UK s leading universities are a short commute from College meaning many students can remain in one location for their sixth form and university studies. 4

Those 30k splits look like mine at ATB except backwards and a bit faster on the last one(or your first one). Good luck in Rotterdam! I'm third generation dutch, so if I get good enough I want to use that race to try and qualify for 2016 or 2020

Shopping, Gastronomy and Nightlife
Shopping in Athens
One of the most popular places to go to in the center of the city is the Attica department store located in the center of Athens. One can find all kinds of products there from clothes, shoes, cosmetics, jewelry, bags and even home equipment and decorating items. You name it, it has it. Around it there are multiple coffee shops, theatres and museums offering a full evening of satisfaction all in one area. On the north side of Attica is the Kolonaki area, the best place for high end shopping in the city with all the big fashion names.
On the south side of Attica, is Ermou street. A road full of fun, fresh brands and shops leading to the ultimate street shopping experience of Monastiraki.
Plaka and Monastriraki are situated around the Acropolis and offer a unique experience combining walks through the old cobblestone roads and traditional flea markets and bazaars.
Greek GastronomyGreek gastronomy has recorded a history of around 4,000 years, with especial characteristics based on pure and unique quality goods produced on Greek soil. In fact, it was Archestratos who wrote the first cookbook in history (330 B.C.). In truth Greek cuisine has four secrets: good quality fresh ingredients, correct use of flavorings (herbs) and spices, the famous Greek olive oil and simplicity.
Olive oil, honey, salt and cheese may be the signature tastes one remembers after having a meal here but there are many more ways to impress your palette and satisfy your cravings. Due to the ever generous Mediterranean sea, a Greek table is almost never complete without various delicious fresh fish.
Finally when it comes to drinking, wine has been imbedded in the Greek culture since the ancient times and is still taken and drunk very seriously by Greeks today as there are hundreds of wineries around the country and countless wine bars in all cities and islands. Other famous Greek drinks include Ouzo, Raki and the mysterious Mastic that can only be produced in one island in Greece as the plants of its origin are unable to grow successfully anywhere else in the entire world for reasons still unknown to this day
Athens Nightlife, Cultural Life and EntertainmentOne of the main characteristics of Greek Culture tourists notice is the vibrant lifestyle and unique hospitality of Athenians.
From jazz bars to pubs and the clubs to the traditional Greek Bouzoukia, Athens is a vibrant city offering a wide range of options that appeal to all sorts of lifestyles and tastes.
Dinner in Greece is served relatively late compared to other countries, reservations are rarely booked before 9 pm and bars never close before 2 am. Clubs in Athens can stay open until the morning hours making every night into a special occasion where one can meet new people, as Greeks have a tendency to meet, greet and include people when they are having fun.
As a night starter, Greece is one of the few countries in Europe where all cinemas play films in their original language with complimentary subtitles, therefore allowing our visitors to enjoy the pleasure of a movie the same way they would at home country.

Super Super Pumped
Ok so, class on Tuesday was kind of dull compared to others. I really think that discussing the play was a good idea but it just bored me. The comments that were made I think were good and supported by evidence from the play. I am really excited for class tomorrow. I hope that I can concentrate. Spring break is right around the corner... FLORIDA, her I come!!! See ya'll in class!

You can't walk very far around Long Close without hearing the sound of music. It could be a classroom activity led by our Director of Music. It could be a practice session for one of our orchestras or choirs. Or it could be a one-to-one lesson with a specialist tutor in the violin, trumpet, piano, recorder, flute, saxophone, classical guitar or singing.
Whatever the source, it exemplifies our commitment to the benefits of a musical education. It equips our children with the skill to play an instrument; opens their eyes and ears to the richness of the cultural world; teaches them the value of hard work, perseverance and preparation; and challenges them to test out their skills and nerve in regular termly concerts and performances. In some cases it can also open doors to later stages of education as it did for a recent Year 6 pupil, who won a prestigious music scholarship to Hampton School.
In Years 3 to 9, our pupils also enjoy weekly drama lessons, provided by actors from the Everyday Theatre Company. These sessions culminate in the excitement and challenge of performances in front of parents – either at assembly or in full-scale dramatic productions. No-one who saw the recent performances of Porridge or Bugsy Malone, for example, could fail to be impressed by the energy, discipline, commitment, creativity and sheer talent on show.
One of the things that sets Long Close apart is that this specialist music and drama teaching isn't limited to our Senior School. Even the youngest children in our nursery regularly enjoy sessions with our GCSE music teacher. We believe that this early exposure to quality, inspirational teaching gives our children the best possible chance of developing their own skills and interests.

- What You Can Do
A new report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities finds that the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program is a great resource for families but can be improved upon to provide more opportunity to families and their children by giving them greater ability to live in low-poverty neighborhoods.
Previous studies have shown that when children are allowed to grow up in safe, low-poverty neighborhoods with good schools there are positive long-lasting impacts on their well-being and earning potential as adults. Conversely, when children grow up in high-poverty neighborhoods with violent crime and low-quality schools, it has a detrimental impact on their long-term success and family well-being.
Despite overwhelming evidence that links neighborhoods to child well-being, there are still an abundance of families with HCV's that are living in extreme-poverty neighborhoods even though there are higher-opportunity neighborhoods in their area available to them with their HCV's.
To facilitate the HCV program's ability to give families access to high-opportunity neighborhoods, this report put forth "Recommendations to realize the HCV program location potential"
The researchers realize that even if these recommendations were implemented there are families that would prefer not to move and there are not enough vouchers for all the families who would like to move, but by improving the HCV's program, steps can be taken to reduce the share of families using vouchers in extreme-poverty areas.
Read the full report. Realizing the Housing Voucher Program's Potential to Enable Families to move to Better Neighborhoods.

A New Age
Lind Mason
Got some special boots for ya.
This scoundrel of a man was once in charge of The Foundlings, or at least a portion of it. He tends to rely on others to do his dirty work, and has a silver tongue for getting himself out of situations. He kept the Foundlings on track, only doing what they needed to make a profit, and wasn't entirely violent. Most raids allowed the victims to keep their lives. Things were good.
Until one day his young friendDonnie Brooks left his crew. Then Tender and Clep, and soon after that he finds out his whole organization has been infiltrated from the outside by who-knows-what!
Now, captured by some shaman, shipped off to a prison at Xaviar, he is making himself as comfortable as he can while he bides his time – for whatever scheme he has going. He never doesn't have a scheme. He's been helping the Pathfinders track down the Foundlings, giving all his help, and only asking to be let out of prison for some air and beer every once in a while.
You guys helped bring him in. He gave you important information on Foundling hideouts, he only asked that in return.. you know.. maybe you put in a good word for him.. help him escape maybe.. sometime, but not soon, cause you know.. people are trying to kill him and stuff.

This one, is a keeper.

Benson Bonus scheme
Many of the shops in Benson are part of the Benson Bonus Loyalty Scheme.
Current members are: Benson Village Butcher, Chapel Lane Hair & Beauty, Chiltern Produce & Florist, Classic Hair & Beauty, Derry's Den, Revival. Watch this space or Twitter/@bensonderrysden for more organizations joining the scheme.
Offers include 10% off, free gifts, discounts on certain products and a loyalty stamp card. The scheme is FREE to join and open to anyone shopping in Benson, irrespective of where you live.
All enterprises in Benson are able to join the scheme, so if you regularly visit an organization that's not on the list why not ask them to join.
HOT OFF THE PRESS: New member of the Benson Bonus scheme: Lloyd's Chemist in Benson will be a part of the scheme. Pop in the shop to find out what offers they have.
Customer loyalty schemes in Benson
The local independent shops have introduced a "Benson Bonus" scheme that rewards those who shop in the village. The rewards come in many different ways and in lots of different shops. Save money on your shopping, take advantage of exclusive offers, collecting points for discounts and freebies are just some of the rewards that your shops will be offering those of you with the Benson Bonus card. Offers will change so always ask in the shops that you visit. The cards will be given out in the local shops, so watch out for posters around the village. The more you shop in Benson, the more you'll benefit. Benson Bonus is the village shops way of thanking you, our regular customers, for your support. You don't have to live in Benson to get a Benson Bonus card, it's for all customers. You can also join your local shops on Facebook to see what we do and what's new, to find out about offers and see how you can save. Participating shops at the moment are: Benson Village Butcher, Chapel Lane Hair and Beauty, Chiltern Produce, Classic Hair & Beauty, Derry's Den and Revival. The Benson Plaice offer their own loyalty card scheme.
Of course you can get rewards from the bigger (chain) shops in Benson too. The Cooperative Stores have lots of special offers and a membership scheme that offers discount vouchers for those shopping regularly. Lloyds Pharmacy always has a great number of special off deals for customers. Larkmead Vets have schemes rewarding customers for pet insurance and certain regularly used products such as tick and flea treatment.
We are very lucky in Benson to have such a good range of shops and services. Modern life is often all about convenience and technology. It's always been hard for small businesses to survive and that still proves to be the case. The village shops are all embracing technology (web, Facebook, Twitter etc) and trying to offer the community good reasons to shop locally rather than going to superstores, online or shopping centres. By shopping locally you will not only get good deals and a good choice, but will help to ensure that there will be a shopping centre for many more years. And, of course, by regularly visiting the village centre you'll get to know about what's on, what's happening, get involved and make lots of friends. Surely that's what living in a village is all about!

I have decided to go public with this blog. I've decided that with so many blogs and one of them being private, it looked like I was trying to hide something. (Okay, I was.) But I've realized that I have nothing to hide.
My intent for this blog is pure infertility, adoption, and the highs and lows that come with them. Anyone can read this blog, but when I talk infertility I am talking to my "barren friends".
In an effort to make my life more positive, I have made a mass effort to delete all negative thoughts on my blogs. I also decided to import everything infertility related to this blog. I didn't want to loose any comments so I copied them over too and then I made sure to keep the original date of the posting.

Avocado Chocolate Pudding is intensely chocolate with a hint of banana and maple syrup. It's smooth and luscious and utterly indulgent, yet it's healthy and delicious. No-one will ever guess that it has avocados and no butter or chocolate. It's vegan, raw, and gluten-free but, shhh, don't tell anyone!
This post contains amazon affiliate links which means that if you make a purchase after following one of those links, I will receive a small commission.
I remember the first time I tried avocados. I was maybe about 10 or 11 years old and I don't know who my mom had to bribe to get avocados back then in Soviet Union. I didn't like them.
They were strange and had a weird texture, but then my mom put some salt, lemon juice and a dollop of sour cream in an avocado boat and… It was good! Really good!
Fast forward 20+ years and this is still my favourite way of eating avocados, although I did switch sour cream to greek yogurt and added cracked black pepper. There are times when I am quite adventurous in the kitchen, but then there are classics that I like so much that I never venture far away from them.
In most cases avocado in my house is eaten straight out of the skin the way I described above, cubed and added to simple cucumber and tomato salad or mashed with some salt, pepper and lemon juice.
My husband doesn't like avocados, so I don't buy them often. But this time I finally bought a bag of five at Costco since their avocados are my favourite.
Last weekend I tried Eggs fried in sliced Avocado (I really did not like cooked avocado) and today I came home to half an avocado waiting to be eaten in my fridge and bananas turning dangerously brown and this is how Banana Avocado Chocolate Pudding was created.
I have seen a bunch of desserts online made with avocados and decided that it was my turn to experiment. I put the green fleshed vegetable in my mini food processor, added half a banana, some maple syrup, unsweetened cocoa powder and gave it a whirl…
After a minute or so the texture became smooth and creamy and the colour intensly chocolaty.
To be honest, I was a little bit scared trying it. I know a lot of people say that avocados are bland, but I actually find them very flavourful. Yes, they taste quite mild but very unique. And although I love avocados in savoury dishes, I wasn't sure if that flavour would work well in something sweet.
Well, I didn't need to be worried. Avocado Chocolate Pudding had absolutely no avocado flavour! All I could taste was chocolate and a subtle hint of banana and maple syrup. It was creamy, smooth, fresh, delicious, satisfying and… Healthy!!!
TIP: using avocados
You really need to make sure that avocado is very ripe! You don't want the slightly firm avocados as they won't make the lusciously smooth pudding. You need very soft avocados but without any brown spots.
This Chocolate Pudding is healthy and delicious. It's vegan, gluten-free, and even raw. It's a perfect dessert or even breakfast! I believe that it would also be an amazing frosting for my Best-Ever Chocolate Vegan Cake!
And if you are looking for another gluten-free and raw dessert then try my No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies, I made them at least half a dozen times, maybe more!
Can you make Avocado Chocolate Pudding without bananas?
- You can use Mango instead of bananas! The texture will be a tiny different but the Chocolate Pudding will be delicious. You might need to play around with the amount of maple syrup as some mangos are sweeter than others
- You can omit bananas altogether but you'd need to add more sweetener
How to make Avocado Chocolate Pudding
Making this delicious Chocolate Pudding is super easy: just mix add all the ingredients into your food processor and mix until silky smooth and luscious.
I use my small hand food processor all the time. It comes with a hand blender attachment as well as a whisk (which I never use). My model is old (10 if not more years old), so I couldn't find it on Amazon anymore but it's very similar to this one.
It's totally a Mom Recipe as it's super fast and easy to make, really delicious and you can make it even healthier by omitting maple syrup. Banana is sweet enough usually that it can be the only source of sweetness.
Avocado Chocolate Pudding: adult or baby dessert?
Without the maple syrup this Avocado Banana Chocolate Pudding would be a really healthy baby dessert as well, just add full banana instead of half and a few drops of milk (regular or plant-based)!
I love adding cocoa nibs to this dessert, they add a fun crunch to the treat and make it a little bit more adult-like and elegant.
Different ways to flavour Avocado Chocolate Pudding:
- Orange zest – chocolate and orange is one of my absolutely favourite combinations! Try using Orange Oil instead of the zest.
- A few drops of mint, peppermint, or spearmint essence or oil – this would make an awesome winter dessert!
- Raspberry syrup instead of maple syrup for a summery treat!
- Pumpkin spice – for an ultimate fall chocolate pudding!
- Gingerbread spice – healthy Christmas morning breakfast anyone?
Here's a new video that I made for this recipe – look how easy it is!
Avocado Banana Chocolate Pudding
- 1/2 large avocado (about 100 g)
- 1/2 large banana (about 50 g)
- 1 tablespoon dark maple syrup (or more to taste)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- cocoa nibs for serving (optional)
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor and process for a couple of minutes until everything is smooth and creamy.
- Refrigerate for 30 min or more to set the pudding and enjoy.
- If you'd like, add some cocoa nibs.

A blog post by Dean Shanahan:
When deciding if you want to go on exchange, the most important step is picking an exchange university. You want to pick a university that has a friendly atmosphere; like when buying property, it should be in the right location to be able to experience local culture and to provide for unique experiences. While you may find that many universities possess these features, Simon Fraser University (SFU) not only met them for me, but also gave something a little extra: the opportunity to be in movie or on TV.
SFU's main campus is just a 30-minute bus ride outside of downtown Vancouver. It is situated atop a small mountain that provides stunning views of the city, the other surrounding mountains and even the ocean. However it's the universities unique architecture that has made a significant mark with Vancouver's local film industry.
The film industry in Vancouver is so large that it has been given the nickname "Hollywood North", some of the architectural elements of the campus could be described as futuristic or even alien in design, which is why most notably the Library and Academic Quadrangle have been used as locations in hit TV shows such as the X-Files, Battlestar Galactica and Stargate SG-1, major films like The 6th Day, the 2008 remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still and the film based off the halo videogame series – Halo: Forward Unto Dawn, have all filmed on the campus. Unlike most film productions which are closed to the public, on occasion, the productions filming on campus will put out calls for background extras to SFU students.
Sadly, the semester I was studying at SFU they put out a call for extras once and I missed out on that opportunity to be an extra because I was off campus travelling for the week. However, many of my friends there have had the opportunity to be a part of films and movies, or at least to be able to watch the filming happen from the sideline.

The book that I am designing for is published by Penguin, who are renowned for their classic cover design. In recent years, they have published numerous books that have much more contemporary feels to them aesthetically. I find this very inspiring and think that my designs for How To Be a Woman should be contemporary whilst drawing reference from classic designs from the past. I want to keep the illustration and use of type true and simple to give the new cover design an updated, contemporary feel.
I came across some witty designs, where someone has redesigned the Harry Potter series in the style of Penguin classics, I found them quite entertaining and inspiring.
Penguin and Puffin book covers are still relevent in 2015, and modern designers still draw influences from the classic designs, something that I am attempting to do in this brief myself.

This paper demonstrates that, in situations in which a cumulative externality exists, the basic nature and extent of resource misallocation may be substantially less than we imagine. This conclusion stems from deriving consistent conjectures in a unified framework in which congestion is present. Experiments support the conclusion that, when numbers of agents are small, when there is little heterogeneity among them, and when they have the opportunity to observe each other during repeated experiment, the market allocation may be efficient.

ESO deactivates accounts opened with stolen game keys.
According to a May news release on the official Elder Scrolls Online forums, ZeniMax Online Studios (ZOS) has seen an increase in the sale of fraudulently obtained digital game keys for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited. The companies selling stolen keys are as underhanded as Molag Bal's minions, and they hurt a lot of people in their pursuit of turning a quick, illegitimate buck.
MUST READ: Player Housing In The Elder Scrolls Online: Why We Want It
Stolen Game Keys
Basically, this is how the ESO stolen game key scam works:
- Shady companies purchase legitimate game keys on Steam using stolen credit cards.
- The stolen game keys are resold on third-party websites at ridiculously low prices.
- Unsuspecting players (hoping to save money), purchase the stolen game keys with their credit cards.
- The shady companies misappropriate the credit card information used for purchases to go ahead and buy even more stolen game keys.
- Rinse and repeat.
The sale of fraudulently obtained game keys not only hurts theft victims and unsuspecting players who believe they've made legitimate purchases, but ZOS and Steam as well (when victims issue credit card chargebacks). Like all scams, the whole thing stinks, hurting society as a whole and the gaming community in particular.
ESO Strikes Back
Fraudulently obtained game keys violates ZOS and Steam's Terms of Service.
Starting on May 26th, ZOS began deactivating all game accounts created with stolen game keys.
Emails have been sent to affected users with instructions on how to regain access to their accounts with legitimate keys.

Official Retailers
ZOS warns consumers that extreme discounting below retail pricing may be a warning that a digital game key is stolen. Remember the old adage, if it sounds too good to be true? This applies to digital game keys sold on third-party websites.
As always, consumers need to practice due diligence. In the news release, ZOS provides a list of official retailers where legitimate keys can be purchased without fear of fraud:

A spokesman for Leo Varadkar yesterday clarified the Taoiseach's comment that Eamon de Valera's "finest hour" was staying out of World War II.
Quite reasonably, Mr Varadkar's spokesman outlined the context of Irish neutrality in that conflict. Ireland was a small, newly independent nation that wanted to stay out of wars.
While the spokesman for the Taoiseach did not say so, there was also presumably no appetite to fight alongside Britain, the country from which Ireland had split after a war of independence.
All this is understandable.
There was little appetite for war in Great Britain either, or in Northern Ireland. Volunteer levels in the latter were said to have been a disappointment to London.
I imagine recruitment rates would have been disappointing in GB too if there had been no conscription (as there was none in this Province due to political sensitivities).
In 1939 the Great War, which had ended a mere 21 years before, was as recent as 1996 is to today.
By some calculations almost a million British people were killed in that disastrous conflict.
Few young men in the 1920s and 30s, having seen their older brothers and cousins or their uncles and teachers killed on a large scale in World War One, can have harboured romantic illusions about war, as many enthusiastic recruits of 1914 had done.
So it wasn't just Eire that lacked an appetite for war in the 1930s, but much of Europe including France (Germany, however, was fuelled by a sense of grievance about the 1918 armistice and its aftermath).
There are gifted historians and writers such as Andrew Roberts and Robert Harris who dispute the notion that Neville Chamberlain's 1938 Munich pact was a shameful act of appeasement of the Nazis.They say it was an almost inevitable attempt to forestall a conflict by a country – Britain – that was not capable of fighting another big war.
It is all the more understandable that Ireland wanted to stay out of the Second World War, particularly in its early stages.
But having said all that, it was extraordinarily tone deaf for Mr Varadkar to describe Irish neutrality as de Valera's "finest hour".
It clearly was a defining moment in Irish history, but Mr Varadkar sounded as if he was celebrating neutrality in the face of one of the greatest evils the world has seen.
Note that Ireland did not merely stay independent after the fall of France in 1940 and after the near collapse of Britain in the face of German air assaults thereafter, but it did so after the Nazis began to kill civilians on a grand scale from 1941, including in Belfast.
The horror of those attacks in Northern Ireland's capital city, which killed 1,000 non military people, was so clear to people south of the border that their firefighters rushed north to help out, in a poignant display of shared humanity.
The Belfast raids, while terrible, were of course a minor event in the rollcall of Nazi attacks across the continent.
Allied forces later retaliated with massive raids on German and Japanese cities, but all the way through the war it was the Nazis who pioneered the brutality.
De Valera stayed neutral after Hitler's deranged invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941 (justified, like the Polish invasion, by lies).
He stayed neutral after Pearl Harbour brought in the Americans.
De Valera stayed neutral after the madness of Stalingrad (which left a million or so people dead) extinguished any doubt as to the fact that Hitler was unhinged.
He stayed neutral after reports began to seep through of the scale of Nazi repression (although in fairness to him, even political leaders in London found it hard to believe the early reports of what was happening to the Jews could be true).
But all of this would still be understandable, given Ireland's recent history, and forgivable if he had not made his visit to the German embassy in Dublin to express condolences upon Adolf Hitler's death.In this contemptible act, de Valera exposed himself as at best a fool.
There was never an indication that he had any remorse about Ireland's failure to join the fight against Hitler, even after news of the holocaust emerged.
But if he was unmoved by any moral argument for helping defeat the Nazis, perhaps he later felt discomfort at the way the war brought closer his old foe Britain and the land of his birth, the United States.
And also the way that great men such as Winston Churchill and Dwight Eisenhower had a lasting regard for Northern Ireland's role in such a vital global war.

I'll be honest, I haven't been following the deepening economic crisis in Europe very closely… I'm dimly aware that Greece is falling apart and threatening to drag the rest of EU down with it, but that's about all. I don't really understand the issues involved, and I have no idea what has to be done to fix things… or at least prevent catastrophe. Which means I have no clue if Andrew Sullivan's prediction today has any validity at all… but I thought it was some interesting food for thought, nonetheless:
My view is that at some point, Germany is going to rescue the euro,
and provide the funds necessary for it. [German Chancellor Angela] Merkel will not let the European
project die on her watch. Her country's entire postwar identity is
rooted in it. And so a project designed to put a line against any new
wars, after Germany's serial aggression, will end up making Europe a
German-based, German-run and German-funded country. [Emphasis mine.]
History has its ironies, does it not? But Britain, alone of the major countries, stands apart. Plus ca change.

Getting here by airplane:
The Frankfurt am Main Flughafen (FRA) is the closest airport to Worms (where the party will be) and Mannheim (where we live).
An Intercity Express (ICE) train travels directly from FRA to Mannheim. It costs 25 EUR per person and takes 45 minutes. (See the links lower fown for group fares.) From there, one normally takes an S-Bahn to Heidelberg, Worms or other smaller towns. Check www.bahn.com for the schedule and tickets.
Full fares are flexible and can be used any time that day if you miss the one you planned on. You can buy the ticket at the airport near to the trains. (Be aware that the ICE trains (long distance) and regional trains leave from different stations at the airport.)
Check flixbus.com. The "Fernbus" travels every hour from FRA to Mannheim. The cost is 5-10 EUR per person, depending on the time of day, and takes 1 hour
Driving :
If you are renting a car, it is approximately 1hr from FRA to Mannheim or other places nearby. Canadian licenses are valid in Germany for the first 6 months. You do not need an international licence.
Note: no right hand turns on a red light. Maybe check out some of the other rules.
Going elsewhere after you arrive?
Many of the discount airlines fly to vacation destinations from smaller airports nearby like Baden-Baden(FKB) and Frankfurt-Hahn.
Travel by public transit in Germany:
Trams/Bus (local): Check vrn.de (German only) which covers the largest region. The mobile app is in available in English. Depending on the immediate area, such as Mannheim and Heidelberg, you can also use rnv-online.de (available in English). Group and day tickets are available.
Trains: Check www.bahn.com for details on connections. There are typically Deutsche Bahn trains that also go outside of Germany, such as Paris, Amsterdam, and Zurich.
- Long Distance Group and Saver Tickets
Eurail Passes, for travel around Europe. Flexible, but not the cheapest option.
Saver Fare, (Sparpreis) typically the cheaper option for 1 or 2 people. Limited number available per train.
Group Fare, cheapest option for groups of 6 or more.
- Regional Tavel
For shorter day trips (1-2hr travel) in Germany, the regional trains are good. Typically cheap for 2 or more people, Regional Saver Fares. Includes S-bahn, RB, RE, and IRE trains. The ICE and IC trains are not included.
- Bahn Cards
If you are spending more than 100 EUR/person on train tickets traveling around, it might be worth getting a trial (Probe) BahnCard 25 or 50. You get 25% off all your train tickets for paying 19 Eur for the card. The 50% off card costs 79 EUR. It only applies to the person who buys the card. Two people need two cards, etc. You can buy them online and print off a paper version at home. They need a European address of you want them to send the plastic card. Be sure to cancel the renewal right away (at least 6 weeks before it expires) otherwise they charge you the price for a full year.
Bus (long distance): Check flixbus.com. They have taken over most of the bus travel here. You can travel to many other places in Germany, Switzerland and Europe with FlixBus. There is also an IC bus offered by Deutsche Bahn.

I've been rearranging some things in our apartment, finding new uses for existing furniture. But I've discovered something in the process — man, this place is dusty! I'd like to chase away the dust bunnies, but I don't want to grab chemically fresh Pledge or any of its kin — that stuff gives me a headache. So I'm whipping up some natural furniture cleaner.
[Image: Lisa Martin, Dust Bunny Challenge]
I did a little research and all it takes is a simple salad dressing. Really. All you need is some vinegar (distilled white works just fine, apple cider works but might stain) and a touch of olive oil or jojoba oil (it keeps longer 'cause it doesn't go rancid). Or some lemon juice and a bit of olive oil if you prefer the lemony fresh scent. Just dip a soft cloth (I used a thick cotton t-shirt rag) in the mixture and wipe on wood furniture. Works like a charm.
Here's a simple recipe using lemon oil, courtesy Annie Bond of Care2:
Lemon Oil Duster
Make sure the lemon oil is pure essential oil and doesn't contain petroleum distillates.
10 drops lemon oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
A few drops olive oil or jojoba
Dip a soft recycled cloth, such as one of flannel, in the lemon oil mixture, and wipe furniture.
