Grade 11 Statistics builds largely on what was covered in Grade 10. This makes it so important to make sure the learners have a solid understanding of what they've done before.
Tamlyn spoke about using tables to teach standard deviation, before teaching how to do it on a calculator. To be honest, I thought this was the normal way to teach it.
Box-and-Whisker-Plots are easy to teach to draw, but they can be difficult to draw conclusions from. It's important to do lots of practice in class, especially when talking about how the data is skewed.
Let's take a look at Tamlyn's slides.

Bosch Power Tools > Bosch DareDevil Spade Bits
The new Bosch spade bits however are almost like a different tool. The DareDevil bit pulls itself through wood without any effort at all which really makes repetitive drilling significantly easier especially at an angle or overhead.
The key to this performance is the patented design of the bit itself. Many of the other wood drilling products come with a threaded tip for fast smooth feeding. A first for spades, Bosch has incorporated a full cone threaded tip, which has increased not only the speed of the bit, but also the ease of drilling.
Another patented feature of the DareDevil is the contoured paddle. This wave-like shape speeds up chip removal, adding to the speed of the bit. The combination of these two features creates astonishing results. In independent testing, the DareDevil was 2.4x faster and required 53% less force than the Irwin Blue Groove*.

Have you ever walked through the furniture section of a store only to find handles, knobs and drawers missing on all the displays? Do you often find yourself wanting to purchase those items that appear broken? How much confidence do you have in your ability to assembly that furniture if even the store is incapable of correctly assembling the furniture?
All of these questions are reasonable when confronted with broken or incorrectly assembled furniture. If the store is not able to correctly assemble the furniture, or worse yet doesn't even care to, it does not compel consumers to purchase the furniture with the result of experiencing loss of revenue. Even if it is only in one of retailer's stores there is loss of revenue. Imagine if all of a retailer's stores were like this. The massive amounts of revenue lost simply because of broken or improperly assembled equipment.
However this issue is very common, most stores experience this. The way this issue comes about is usually because customer's come back in after purchasing a piece of furniture that is missing certain essential parts. In fact many customers claim they didn't even receive all the parts in the boxes and come back to the store to complain, looking for the missing parts.
The store, that does not want to open another box, will often give the customer the parts from the display which means that now retailer's displays are missing important parts. If you don't have a furniture maintenance service that comes in and executes In Store Assembly, your displays will sit butchered, until the next planogram refresh, which will really impact your sales.
The end result being that if customers are not able to see correctly assembled furniture, which not all stores are capable of staying on top of, then customers will not be able to visualize how they will appear in their homes and most likely not be interested in purchasing those items.

If you've ever visited a museum, you've probably noticed that artists seem to find a lot of inspiration in flowers. Famous artists like Georgia O'Keefe and Antoine Berjon used blooms frequently in their paintings, probably because flowers represent the natural beauty all around us. If you're a burgeoning artist looking for a bit of inspiration, why not choose flowers as your subject matter?
Discounted flowers or blooming plants would be the perfect choice for setting up a still life. You won't have to worry about the longevity of the blooms if they're cheap enough to buy several of, and flowering plants will last quite a while, so there's no rush to get your piece finished.
If you choose to do a painting, there are several things to keep in mind. The quality of your materials, lighting and subject matter are important. You want to make sure you have adequate lighting and plenty of different paint colors to choose from. A variety of brushes should also be available, so you can get varied levels of detail.
You may want to start out by painting from a photograph, since you won't have to worry about changing light. Just make sure the picture isn't grainy, has plenty of light and is close up to the subject so you can see it clearly. When you're painting, don't be afraid to use bright colors right from the tube. Some of the hues found in nature are actually this saturated and bright, so there's not always a need for mixed colors. If you do find that you need to make a color darker, avoid using black paint. Instead, opt for a color on the opposite side of the color wheel. This will ensure a more natural look.
If painting isn't your thing and you'd rather engage in some flower photography, make sure you create a focal point by mixing contrasting colors or zooming in on a particular detail. Also, don't forget to consider your background, as the viewer will notice if there's anything strange or out of place in the picture. Keep in mind that your picture will be more unique if you place the flowers in an interesting place where they normally wouldn't be seen.
As long as you take your time setting up your flower arrangement and have plenty of patience, you should end up with a nice piece that you could turn into a gift for someone's birthday. A framed painting or photograph from a friend or family member is sure to be something that the recipient will want to prominently display.


text: When Chris and Fiona Clark bought the 380 acre Nethergill Farm at Oughtershaw at the head of Wharfdale in 2005, they had a vision of creating a special place where visitors could understand the link between food, farming and conservation. Today, years of hard work later, they have come a long way towards reaching that goal. They have plenty of visitors (the Dales Way runs almost past the door) staying either for bed and breakfast in two rooms in the farmhouse or self-catering in a recently converted hayloft. Their mission to explain passed a key milestone in March 2013 when they opened a Field Centre within the farm buildings. Complete with live feeds from cameras trained on the wildlife and the headwaters of the river, microscopes and written information, this is an education centre in an extraordinary setting. "It has attracted a lot of interest with groups of people from schools in Yorkshire and elsewhere. We have had visitors from the University of Reading and even Pennsylvania. It has also been used for meetings by Natural England and NatWest and the Yorkshire Dales National Park launched their management report here. All visitors are given a farm tour so we can explain what we do here," says Fiona. There have been "wild workshops" run in partnership with the Yorkshire Dales Wildlife Trust, one-day events on subjects such as wild flowers, the river, peat and photography. Experience that deepens understanding "We tell visitors that reading and listening deepens your knowledge but that practical experience here deepens your understanding," comments Chris. Practical experience is certainly high on the agenda. A group of teenagers from West Yorkshire, who had been involved with the criminal justice system, came to Nethergill to create two bird hides using recycled plastic bags. "They were just blown away by the location," says Chris. Other activities have included willow bundling, a project to avoid river bank erosion carried out in conjunction with the Yorkshire Rivers Trust. Conservation moves boost biodiversity Conservation is also well up the agenda too. Fiona and Chris have been working with the National Parks and the Forestry Commission to plant 18,000 trees. This has boosted the biodiversity of the area so much that Black Grouse have returned to the area after 40 years. The planting area is also close to Greenfield Forest, a designated reserve for red squirrels. On the farm itself, they have introduced rare breeds including White Shorthorn cattle. They have seven females out of only 216 in the world. Meat from their cattle and their flock of sheep is used in casseroles, a zero-food miles culinary treat for visitors. Homemade bread and cakes and eggs from the finest of free range chickens on the farm plus home grown vegetables are all part of the self-sufficency story at Nethergill. Self-sufficiency in virtually everything Self-sufficiency is a reoccurring theme at the farm where a 75kw biomass burner provides all the heating and hot water. The boiler, which cost £17,500, and which burns timber felled from no more than 10 miles away, was installed in March 2013 and is expected to cut heating bills by £3,000 a year. In addition, there are five log burning stoves fed by timber felled in Greenfield Forest some of which is dragged to the farm by a working Dales Pony, Bracken, a traditional farming practice known as "sniggling." As Nethergill moves increasingly to self-sufficiency in virtually everything apart from fuel for vehicles, its story becomes even more fascinating to visitors. "We hope to both educate and to inspire people when they come here and that is what many of them tell us we have done," says Fiona.Contact Chris and Fiona Clark on 01756 761126 or visit www.nethergill.co.uk

Case Studies * names have been changedPrevious
Krystal* came to see me about some struggles she was having with early parenthood. She had always felt really competent in her job as an art teacher and never had too many struggles in her relationship with her husband. All that changed after they had their first child. Suddenly their roles were different and Krystal felt her husband John did not understand her in the same way that he used to. Additionally she found it really hard to open up to other women about how much she was struggling. For her it was really embarrassing to admit this, so she pretended to everyone that things were fine. This made her feel very alone and unsupported during this challenging time in her life. Additionally Krystal felt her own mother couldn't emotionally support her in the way she needed at this time, preferring to dote on her new grandson. I helped Krystal practice admitting to a few people what was really going on. I explained that this act improves intimacy in a good relationship. I also had her attend my women's group where she was able to hear the struggles of other women, which helped her to feel less alone in her pain. Slowly she was able to learn to be a more open person, with the right friends, so she was able to access the emotional support she needed. I also helped Krystal with her assertiveness and communication skills so she could be firm with people babysitting about the type of care she wanted for her child and so she could effectively express to her husband how she was feeling and what she needed.Krystal
Anna was a professional woman that had gotten married very young. She thought it was the 'right' thing to do and that no one else would love her any way so she married the first man that showed an interest in her. However over time she realised that she had never given herself the time to explore who she was independent of a relationship or to figure out whether he was in fact the 'right'person for her. She started to feel unfulfilled in life when she realised she wasn't in love with him and that she did not know what her passions were. Her time in therapy helped her to create space to listen to her own feelings and needs which in turn assisted her to begin connecting with the things that brought her joy, such as gardening and socialising with other likeminded women. She then began to pursue these hobbies and relationships and because she felt happy and fulfilled, attracted a partner more suited to her and with who she was truly in love with.Anna
Janine was the type of woman that loved to help others. The problem was that every time someone asked her for something she would say yes. This meant there was never any time left at the end of the day for herself. She was often really tired and worn out from all the errands she did for others. She didn't like the feeling of being tired all the time but didn't know what to do about. She visited various health professional trying to find and 'energy' cure. The truth was, Janine was giving too much out to others and not enough to herself and that was why she was always tired. Janine found it extremely hard to say no to others for fear of them disliking her or getting angry or disappointed with her. This was a habit that she had picked up during childhood through taking in messages from culture that socialise women into being nurturers and being rewarded for being selfless. She also received negative feedback from a parent if she tried to refuse a request, which contributed to her later struggle to say no to things. In therapy Janine learned to block some time out in her diary every week to do something just for herself. Having it in her diary meant she took it more seriously and it was easier to tell others she couldn't do something because she had an 'appointment' without feeling rude. She found that other people accepted this rationale easily. Janine found these activities energised because they were relaxing and fun. This helped Janine to realise she could say no sometimes and that most people would accept this as normal and natural. She also saw the benefit of making some time and space in her life to give herself some time out and fun.Janine

'Rockin' Eve' Producer Claps Back Against Mariah Carey Rep's Sabotage Claims
Mariah Carey had a disastrous performance on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. From all appearances, it didn't even seem to be Mariah's fault, as it looked to be a technical mix-up. However, this hasn't stopped Mariah's rep from accusing Dick Clark Productions of sabotage, prompting the production company to clap back with a statement of their own.
Basically, Mariah's manager, Stella Bulochnikov, threw DCP under the bus for having in-ear monitors that weren't working properly. Bulochnikov claims DCP was told about the issue but never took any measures to correct it. Then, once the performance fell apart on live TV, the people in charge refused to cut away to the West Coast feed, bolstering Bulochnikov's theory that Mariah was set up to fail as a tactic to get "eyeballs at any expense" on the program.
Needless to say, Dick Clark Productions didn't take the accusations kindly, and issued a statement refuting Bulochnikov's claims:
"As the premier producer of live television events for nearly 50 years, we pride ourselves on our reputation and long-standing relationships with artists. To suggest that dcp, as producer of music shows including the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, New Year's Rockin' Eve and Academy of Country Music Awards, would ever intentionally compromise the success of any artist is defamatory, outrageous and frankly absurd. In very rare instances there are of course technical errors that can occur with live television, however, an initial investigation has indicated that dcp had no involvement in the challenges associated with Ms. Carey's New Year's Eve performance. We want to be clear that we have the utmost respect for Ms. Carey as an artist and acknowledge her tremendous accomplishments in the industry."
Ultimately, I think it's better for everyone to just move on. Mariah set out to put the entire mess behind her almost as soon as she got off the stage, hitting up Twitter with a statement that shrugged it off with a "S*** happens". Her representatives should follow suit, if only to prevent prolonging this incident in the public's eye. Then again, I'm sure some would argue that any press at all is good press. But hey, Mariah gets plenty of that already by shading today's pop divas.
What do you think of this whole situation? Sound off in the comments!

Macy's Closing 68 stores; Job Cuts Total 10,100
After seeing sales drop during the holidays, Macy's said Wednesday it has either closed or will shutter 68 stores and cut an additional 6,200 positions.
(USA) – After seeing sales drop during the holidays, Macy's said Wednesday it has either closed or will shutter 68 stores and cut an additional 6,200 positions.
Of the 68 stores out of 730 in total, nine closings had been previously announced and three locations have already shut down.
But the retail giant revealed the locations of the remaining 59 stores, which will be shuttered by the middle of this year and affect 3,900 employees, some of whom may be offered jobs at other locations.
The locations span the country, from Florida to Oregon.
Additionally the retail giant says that it will be cutting "layers of management" at its central operations, and paring the number of managers supporting stores, making up the bulk of 6,200 jobs that will be lost.
"We continue to experience declining traffic in our stores where the majority of our business is still transacted," Terry Lundgren, Macy's CEO said in a statement. In regard to the store closings he added, "we are closing locations that are unproductive or are no longer robust shopping destinations due to changes in the local retail shopping landscape. . . .These are never easy decisions."
The news did not seem to sooth investors, with Macy's shares plunging 8.7%, to $32.70, in after hours trading.

An ex-engineer of NASA (at Aircraft Propulsion Lab) is the chief the charge to create a seventy foot car juggling bot as we need. The name of the bot is BugJuggler. The bot would certainly utilize a couple of hydraulic accumulators that the inventors describe to be like storage electric batteries intended for fluid to execute the motions essential for juggling cars.
At a height of seventy feet, this specific leviathan might need to weigh in the area of a huge selection of loads. It also needs an outstanding strength to reduce the forces made simply by throwing large objects like car into the air and gripping all of them once again.
The team reported that an expert familiar with juggling need to be at the head of the robot and then he will control its movement applying a screen having haptic system combined with an effective servo valve to run the hydraulics. A high definition camera is intended to pay with the big difference within the scale between the user and the robot to make the main task simpler. The working team is also implementing a new 'high-speed appliance perspective program' which will trail the actual trajectory associated with falling cars, aiding the operator and also likely permitting the bot to run automatically.

We identify what your target buyers want and how you can give your home the right look and feel for today's real estate market.
We expertly use what you already own to optimize the space, freshen it up and get it organized. The photos will be more compelling and that means more visits and a faster sale.
Our Basic Home Staging Consultation fee: $40.00 per room (plus taxes)
65.00$ per room for large homes with 2500 square feet or more
- An outside space such as the front yard and curb appeal counts as a room
- Most consultations take 2 – 3 hours, except homes exceeding 2500 sq feet the consultation will likely take 3 – 5 hours
- The fee does not include the cost of any purchased merchandise
With every consultation you immediately receive:
- A detailed list of recommendations, sketches and a floor plan produced on site for every room.
- Budget-friendly recommendations that are simple enough for the average seller to execute.
- Expertise and strategies tailored to your specific property and targeting the specific buyer-profile you want to attract.
Our Home Staging consultation provides you with an effective plan you can mostly execute yourself. If you still want help, we can do the staging for you as well as take care of any minor or major repairs. We are available to oversee the entire preparation of your home with an economic turn-key package, or we can give you a little bit of guidance if you prefer to work on your own. We will gladly quote you a budget-concious price for any work that you would like us to execute, but most of our recommendations rarely require hiring outside help.

Professor Matthew Lenaghan
Open to 2L and 3L students
Maximum of 8 students*
|Spring semester
5 credits**
No prerequisites
The Education Advocacy Clinic is a 5-credit, semester-long clinic that represents public school students in education cases.
Course Description
Students from low-income backgrounds often face barriers to receiving a high-quality education in New York City public schools. There are laws to protect the educational rights of certain populations of students, including students with disabilities, English Language Learners, and students experiencing homelessness, but many of these children do not receive the services and supports they need to succeed in school.
Clinic students work on education cases with a focus on special education cases. In these cases, law students work closely with families from low-income backgrounds to help their public school students get supports and services to address their educational and behavioral needs. Students will participate in various stages of the representation process including intake, investigation, settlement negotiations, advocacy at school-based meetings, and possible participation in mediation or hearings. Clinic students will also work on education policy initiatives focused on the needs of students most at risk of academic failure. Fieldwork will likely be done at Advocates for Children of New York.
The seminar focuses on New York City's education system, including the laws and procedures governing special education and school discipline. The seminar also addresses the cases students are handling; trial skills; issues relating to race, class, and disability in education; and efforts to create systemic change for public school students.
Application Procedure
Students should submit an application, resume and transcript on-line via CAMS. Some applicants may be contacted during the clinic application period for an interview. For questions regarding the application process, please contact Yvette Bisono at (212) 998-6177 or via email. If you have questions about the clinic itself, you can direct them to Randi Levine or Matthew Lenaghan.
Student Contacts

Lubbock, Texas Texas Tech is clinging to hopes of an at-large NCAA Tournament bid. Kansas University would love to play in the postseason, too.
Both the Red Raiders and Jayhawks thus have plenty of incentive going into tonight's Big 12 Conference women's basketball clash.
Tipoff will be at 7:05 p.m. in Tech's United Spirit Arena. The game will be broadcast on the Jayhawk Radio Network, including KLWN-AM (1320). There is no television.
Tradition-rich Texas Tech is sitting with an unaccustomed 12-12 record and probably needs to win its last three league games to be considered for the NCAA tourney.
"We've got to win some games, that's for sure," Tech coach Marsha Sharp said.
Kansas is 15-9 overall and is assured of having a winning season - its first in six years - but the Jayhawks have to be thinking WNIT because their RPI has been downgraded by a weak nonconference schedule and a 4-9 conference record. Texas Tech is 7-6 in league games.
The Jayhawks and the Red Raiders have had a similar difficulty - winning on the road. Tech is 1-9 outside of Lubbock, with its lone road victory coming against Big 12 doormat Oklahoma State. KU is 1-6 away from home after posting its first road victory Saturday - a 57-56 squeaker over Iowa State in Ames, Iowa.
Reserves Sharita Smith and Marija Zinic were standouts off the bench in the victory over the Cyclones and probably will see plenty of duty again tonight.
Smith, a 5-8 junior guard, scored only two points, but she had seven rebounds and hounded ISU standout Lyndsey Medders into 2-for-12 shooting. Zinic, a 6-1 freshman, scored a career-high 14 points inside when the Cyclones double-teamed Crystal Kemp.
Although weak on the road, the Red Raiders have been tough at home, winning 10 of 12 games, and Kansas hasn't won in Lubbock since 1978, or before Tech became a member of the Big 12. Tech has won the last six games in the series, including a 66-53 triumph in Allen Fieldhouse last season.
After tonight, the Jayhawks won't have to travel again until they go to the Big 12 Tournament in Dallas. KU will play host to Missouri at 11 a.m. Saturday, then entertain Kansas State on March 2 in the regular-season finale.

We had the pleasure of speaking to the dynamic trio of the 'Creative Juice Podcast' Josh Bridge (Heels Off, Squeeze, Being Mary Jane: Uncovered, Nelson Adeosun (BBC four People's History of LGBT, Ch4 Health Detectives) and Lekhani.
Firstly, Hi. Can you introduce yourselves individually by stating your name and what you do? Also, state some of your best/recent credits.
JB – Hello, I am Josh Bridge and I am a filmmaker and producer. Some of my credits include 'Squeeze' and 'Handle with Care' with I both directed and produced. I also produced an online talk show called 'Heels Off'. I also produced BET: Being Mary Jane uncovered which is a British talk show.
NO – My name is Nelson Adeosun and I am an assistant producer for a Sky Sports show as my day job and also write and direct my own content. Recently I have a show called People's History of LGBT (BBC4), Health Detectives (Ch4) and Million Pound Party People (E4). I have also been on the Edinburgh TV Festival's Alumni board and also won funding from Channel 4 as part of their Alpha Fund.
L – Hi, my name is Lekhani Chirwa, I'm an actress and performer. I have recently just started writing so I guess I'm a writer too! I have performed at the Vaults theatre, Omnibus Theatre and recently just performed my monologue 'Can I Touch Your Hair?' at Ovalhouse theatre.
Why did you choose the name 'The Creative Juice'?
JB – I chose the name The Creative Juice because it was a play on words. I feel like the podcast gives the listeners their fortnightly boost of creativity. Kind of like a mushroom in super Mario lol.
NO – The Creative Juice Podcast was named so because it represents a burst of information and discussion that you get from the podcast similar to when you take a big sip of a drink. We aim to tackle everything from film, TV, web series and more and deliver it in a dose that everyone that enjoy in their own way.
Why did you create the podcast?
JB – I decided to create the podcast because I felt like there wasn't a platform away from the blogs within the urban Film, TV and online that catered towards individuals that were in the industry or were trying to get into the industry, and with the major growth within the podcast world it just seemed like the perfect fit.
NO – The podcast was made to address the wall of silence that being involved in our respective industries involves. People have no idea how hard it is to put anything together whether it is as an amateur or a professional and the glamour which is shown on TV and beyond masks the huge dedication and hard work that many people have put into their careers. This has made it very difficult for people starting out to get the required know-how and networks to really launch their careers and many people make mistakes or fall out of love with the creative industries due to this.
L – We created the podcast as we wanted to talk about the creative industry and share our experiences. A lot of people starting out don't necessarily know much due to experience so we thought it would be a great platform for people to listen and gain an insight. We also thought it would be fun to talk about films, tv & theatre, also looking into the diversity of the industry.
Initially, the podcast began with Josh and Nelson, why did you elect to bring in the lovely Lekhani?
JB – Lekhani, was always meant to join us from the beginning but she was unable to join us as she had other commitments at the time.
NO – Lekhani brings a new view to the show with her insight as an actress and someone in front of the camera. She is at the beginning of the career but also goes to drama school which means she can share her feelings about coming up, through and establishing herself in the industry. She also enjoys theatre and brings her thoughts on characterisation and behind the scenes work/expertise to the show. She also balances the bravado and banter between Josh and Nelson.
L – I actually spoke to Josh on twitter. He tweeted about starting a podcast about the creative industry and I thought it was such a good idea. We exchanged numbers and spoke on the phone about the podcast, Josh asked me about myself and what I'd done in terms of acting work etc. We seemed to just click in terms of agreeing what the podcast should be.
Do you feel the UK film industry matches your dreams and aspirations in your respective careers? ie do you believe you can achieve everything you want in this country?
JB – I do believe I can achieve everything I want from the UK film industry it's growing rapidly especially within the BAME community. Over the years we've seen a lot of individuals make amazing strides in industry paving a way and breaking down barriers for the next individuals up like myself.
NO – I believe the industry in the UK is very insular and the opportunities are usually limited and very traditional which I think presents its own challenges but also serves as a personal challenge that if I can make it in Britain I can make it anywhere and the respect British Television carries will serve as a badge of honour all over the world.
L – Yes and no. I feel like it is possible if I'm fortunate! I think I'd be able to match my dreams and aspirations within theatre but I'm not sure about film & tv in the UK. When I look at English actors such as Idris Elba & Naomie Harris I know it's possible but then I'm pretty sure they both went to America and became a lot more successful out there. Maybe I will need to go stateside for the film industry as it tends to be much more diverse.
What do you want people to gain from your discussions on the show?
JB – I want individuals to gain an insight into the industry and help spark a discussion on certain topics.
NO – I want people to get an insight into the industry and also see the behind the shows they often watch as sometimes the audience and indeed people outside the industry find it hard to understand the mechanics of the industry. I also want to discuss many issues and adversities that we have all conquered whilst also doing our best to keep people up to date with what's going on in the world of TV and film.
L – I want people to gain a better understanding of things they may not have known or thought about before. I feel I want people to feel empowered to go out there and create their own work, to just know it's possible.
Josh and Nelson, If you had an unlimited budget what type of show/TV series or film would you love to create?
JB – It's so weird I haven't actually thought about this you know but if I were to pick something random off the top it would probably be some sort of drama/thriller.
NO – Unlimited budget – I'd make an immersive virtual reality documentary that allows the person to explore the narrative at their own pace and their own way
Lekhani. If you could act in one film? What would it be and why?
L – This is a tough film as there are so many great films I'd love to act in. However, if I had to choose one right now it would be Hidden Figures, the reason being the 3 female lead characters are so strong. They have a voice and are intelligent, often something not portrayed in most films, the women typically only talks about the man etc.
If you could work with 3 people who would they be and briefly state why? (This could be anyone)
JB – Will Packer – I feel like he's probably in my personal opinion the top black producer in Hollywood at the moment. From films like Think Like a Man to Straight Outta Compton to Ride Along. He's been able to produce hit films back to back and I feel the way he started is similar to what my team and I do at the moment.
Chuck Lorre – He's been able to have long lasting TV shows that have an average span life of 8 years which I think is really impressive, and none of these shows come off as one hit wonders they improved year after year.
and Tyler Perry – I feel I'd learn a lot from Tyler Perry on how to build a cult but large following from the ground up
NO – Wes Anderson – I love the way he frames his shots and his approach to storytelling and the fact it maintains it's youth like innocence no matter what subject it tackles.
Jake Gyllenhall – My favourite actor at the moment for all the projects he picks and the quality of his portrayal of fragile characters and their lives.
Dave Nath, James Newton, Dan Reed – Three of the best documentary makers in TV who are so focused on their narrative voices and subjects. The way their films build up and they use visual techniques to build an immersive and harrowing story up is unmatched in the industry.
L – Spike Lee, Shane Meadows & Danny Boyle. Simply because I love all their work. I feel they're all great directors who know how to bring the best out of actors. When I watch their films I particularly look at the actors and just believe the characters so much. I think it would be an honour to work with them all.
Who are your inspirations?
JB – The names mentioned above are my inspirations.
NO – My inspirations are Quentin Tarantino for his unapologetic style and unquestionable style. He is so sure of himself and his writing and film knowledge is so entrenched. Chris Nolan for the similar reason whilst being a master of story and managing projects those both makes money and get great reviews.
L – My inspirations are Michaela Coel, Viola Davis, Kerry Washington & Denzel Washington.
Have you seen Moonlight? if so what do you think? if not are you excited to see it?
JB – I am yet to see Moonlight. I am very excited to see it, as I've heard nothing but good reviews.
NO – Haven't seen Moonlight but very interested in watching the tackling of black masculinity and also in how the black community reacts to a film that deals with such a taboo film/subject.
L – I haven't seen it yet but I really want to and I am so excited to see it. I've heard only good things!
What is the best film you have watched in 2017 so far?
JB – I'd have to say Split.
NO – My favourite film that has been released in 2017 is a small pool of films (because I haven't been to the cinema that much this year) but would be split because of its masterful suspense and interesting premise. Masterclass by James McAvoy.
L – I think the best film in 2017 that I've watched so far would have to be Hidden Figures, it was so authentic. I loved the acting and storytelling. I was hooked throughout and very emotional by the end.
Who can we expect for your next show or is it a secret?
JB – I'm going to have to keep that a secret but listeners can definitely expect to hear more from their favourite individuals within the industry.
NO – Like Josh said…Watch this space but I'd love to mention my next documentary Letters will tackle a number of issues with contributors writing letters to things or people of their past and reading them out on screen. They all confront demons of their past through this process and for many come to terms with things they have buried or put away for years.
L – have spoken about it briefly on the podcast. I'm looking to develop my monologue 'Can I Touch Your Hair?'.
And finally…
Can you leave some words of inspiration for your audience?
JB – Words of Inspiration, erm honestly the one thing I can say is just going out and make your dreams a reality. As cliche as it sounds I do believe whatever you set your mind to, you can definitely achieve it and don't get me wrong it definitely won't be easy but once you overcome the hurdles you face you'd be more than happy with the results. So honestly just go out and do it!
NO – Simply working hard is not good enough if you don't try to know everything you possibly can about whatever it is you want to do.
L – Keep going, if you fall off track. Get back on it. Just don't give up! Work hard and commit to your art!

Coin Story
One of nature's most impressive wonders is displayed each year, when millions of animals start their great annual migration, covering vast distances in search for food, mating partners or shelter.
Humpback whales arguably make the longest documented migration of any mammal. They spend their summer months feeding in polar waters, but with the onset of winter, food becomes scarce and the water becomes too cold. So, they migrate an average of 2,500km to tropical waters to breed and give birth, then make the same journey back.
With almost no rest along the way, they can cover over 1,600km per month. Young calves making their first migratory journey conserve their energy by riding the slipstream of their mother's wake.

This wedding! I just can't get enough of Erin and Damon. The two of them are so adorable and both such sweet and kind people. Being their wedding day photographer was a huge treat!
We met up with Erin in the morning on her wedding day at the Stoney Creek hotel in Sioux City where the bridesmaids all gathered to get ready for the day. Loved their getting ready robes (as modeled by some of her very lovely bridesmaids above!) and an adorable (and full of energy) flower girl was also a blast to photograph!Badgley Mischka dress and those shoes!!
Damon and his guys all looked sharp too in their navy suits.
Their ceremony and reception took place at Country Celebrations in Sioux City. The venue is very unique to the Sioux City area. It's got a modern country charm that is perfect for an Iowa wedding day, but definitely unlike anything else in Sioux City for weddings. It is located in a quiet area and has a great pavilion for a wedding ceremony.
The reception area and grounds at Country Celebrations are also stunning. You can definitely get a very outdoorsy feel from your wedding pictures with all of the wooded areas surrounding the property and the banquet facility is very open and charming.
Erin carried a beautiful bouquet from the super talented Diane at Flowercart Creations.
And you may recognize the super talented Melissa on the left. She is a second photographer for Impressions Photography and her creativity doesn't stop there, she's also the owner of Melissa Flynn Studios where she spends her week being an amazing interior designer in Sioux City (although she's so awesome she has clients all the way to Chicago!). So lucky to have her on our team (when she's not doing the bridesmaid thing!).
I can't say enough great things about this wedding day. From an incredible venue to a super fun couple, it really was the best to be there to capture this incredible day!

——————————————————————————————————— The trem "conservative" is defined as follows: "holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion." Today's Tea Party-infested, reactionary Republican Party doesn't quite fit this definition. For many of those who boast proudly that they are "conservative" are actually, in reality, very deluded, backward-looking, radical far-right reactionaries who wish to chain this country to a fictional past they mistakenly believe once existed . I was struck by the ignorance of a relatively young female self-proclaimed "conservative" I recently saw in a debate on Thom Hartmann's "The Big Picture" on Free Speech TV. Thom was reciting a long list of liberal accomplishments in America (unemployment compensation, Social Security, overtime pay, civil rights, etc.), and when he mentioned Lincoln freeing the slaves, she looked incredulous at the fact that it was liberals who freed the slaves, or that Lincoln could even be considered a liberal. Her only retort was that liberal programs such as welfare trapped the black race into being dependent and have somehow led to the majority of black children being raised in single parent households. I knew at that instant that this young conservative simply didn't know her history and had simply assumed, as conservatives are so prone to do, that Lincoln, being a Republican, was therefore a conservative too…
I then began to think how little critical thinking was coming from these modern so-called conservatives. I began to think of how shallow most of their beliefs are. For example,
1). Modern "conservatives" hate government, and, by extension, government regulation of any kind. They fail to recognize that government regulation is a necessary buffer against corporate greed and actually protects the public from corporate excesses. They don't realize that loosened regulation on banking led directly to the horrid Great Recession of 2008!
2). Modern "conservatives" hate minorities, immigrants, the poor, working class people, programs which help the poor, and especially that black family who currently inhabits the White House. They feel no kinship with people who are different than themselves, and actually revile many of them.
3). Modern "conservatives" hate Muslims and foreigners. They blame all Arabs and Muslims for 9/11 and subsequent acts of terrorism in the Middle East or elsewhere, and fail to recognize that the small band of terrorists who were and are responsible for these acts are but a tiny fraction of wayward radicals who really AREN'T true practitioners of Islam. All these "conservatives" really care about is Christian fundamentalism and authoritarianism. In many asprcts, they are America's version of the Taliban!
4), Modern "conservatives" absolutely HATE paying taxes and will cheat the government whenever they can. While heaping loads of verbal abuse on progressives who, out of genuine concern, criticize many of the less desirable traits of this country, these "conservatives" think nothing of setting up fraudulent tax shelters abroad to selfishly keep BILLIONS of dollars for themselves that are rightfully owed the government…and they have the audacity to call themselves "patriots"!
5). Modern "conservatives" HATE environmentalists and deny the existence of climate change. They refuse to accept the findings of an overwhelming majority of the world's scientists who believe that these changes are man-made, and reject the warning that humans must abandon fossil fuels SOON or face possible extinction. They believe the lying propaganda spread by the notoriously selfish Koch Brothers and Fox "News" that the Keystone XL pipeline will create thousands of jobs and that climate change is a natural phenomenon. They cite crackpot "experts" who are actually involved with fossil fuel industry giants for "proof" that climate change is a hoax and derisively refer to those who disagree with them as "tree huggers." This is surely a reckless and snotty, almost flippant approach to take on such an important topic…
6). Modern "conservatives" claim to be lovers of liberty and champion democracy and freedom, yet they vote for authoritarian creeps like Wisconsin's Scott Walker, who actively tries to limit the economic freedom of workers through the passage of draconian anti-labor laws; like Michigan's Rick Snyder, who actively limits the rights of voters by dissolving their democratically elected city councils and then sets up all-powerful new "City Managers" appointed by him to run their cities; and like Florida's Rick Scott, who systematically purges the names of likely opposition voters from the voting rolls. These are definitely NOT champions of real democracy! Their steadfast support of the so-called "free" market unveils a naivete about capitalism itself, as economics today are far from free, in that they are becoming increasingly dominated by an ever-shrinking narrow band of economic elites known as the 1%. These "conservatives" also elect governors and legislatures across the country who try to disenfranchise likely voters of the other party.
7). Modern "conservatives" are fearful and paranoid about the future. They are easily misled into believing crazy conspiracy theories which are put to them by lying fearmongers such as Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and the devious crew over at Fox "News". Their belief in this nonsense causes them to make rash and incorrect judgments about too many things, many, like the Iraq War, with DIRE consequences!
8). Modern "conservatives" are intellectually lazy and are poorly informed. Very few of them deeply research a topic, and far too many prefer to get their information from brief soundbytes or only one or two sources. It is little wonder that so much of what they express is so shallow or full of errors, especially considering that many of their news sources tend to be disreputable ones like talk radio, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity. Glenn Beck, Mike Huckabee, or Michelle Malkin and the like. They tend to parrot each other using the very same talking points and show little capacity for deep, contemplative thought.
9). Modern "conservatives" tend to br vain, overconfident believers in Christianity, only the Christianity they believe in is FALSE and has little to do with the Gospel of St. Matthew or what Jesus Christ preached in the Sermon on the Mount. After all, Christ NEVER preached that the rich should be made richer through generous, unneeded tax breaks, or that all people should carry a gun, or that renditioning and then torturing enemy prisoners was acceptable!
10). Modern "conservatives" naively believe that our country and its military can do no wrong and that only our enemies are guilty of war crimes. They never take into account that paranoid and very wrong leaders like DICK Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, through their repeated use of rendition and torture and their advocacy of pre-emptive military strikes, were INDEED guilty of heinous war crimes and deserve to be tried and sentenced before the World Court at the Hague! They also ignore the very true FACT that we have deliberately overthrown democratically-elected governments many times in the past, including Iran in 1953, Chile in 1971, and Ukraine in 2014!
11). Many modern "conservatives" ignorantly assert that the United States has the best health care system in the world. This, of course, is an absolute delusion, as our ranking in infant mortality (among numerous other categories) is abysmal. Rather than the best health care system, we have instead the most EXPENSIVE one on the planet, (nearly DOUBLE the cost of nearly every other major industrialized country which employs the "socialized medicine" method of a single-payer system, as it is plagued by corporate health care insurance and pharmaceutical company fraud, greed, and corruption, with wholly unjustified excess profit!
These are only a few of the many examples of how today's "conservatives" aren't really conservative in the least, but are instead nstauble, paranoid reactionaries who aren't trying to preserve traditional American values at all. In reality, they are a destructive force hell-bent on privatizing everything, helping the rich further expand our already far too expansive wealth disparity, and trying to turn our economic, social, and political clocks back to the 19th century, before progressives fought hard to obtain civil eights and a social safety net. They lie, cheat, and steal to realize their aims. They spread fear, injustice, and corruption like wildfire. They are unfit for governing this great nation!
THAT is why we progressives must remove them from political office and neutralize their economic and social influence, before they succeed in destroying this country. Therefore, we must NOT vote for ANY more Tea Party-infested reactionary Republicans or enabling, corporatist Democrats! To do so is to slit your own throat! AVERT DISASTER BY ALWAYS ELECTING PROGRESSIVE, FAIR-MINDED CANDIDATES!

Listen: Schoolboy Q Guests on Disclosure's "Latch" Remix
Hear Q add a verse to the inescapable jam.
Disclosure's "Latch," a.k.a. the inescapable jam that made Sam Smith a star, has still got legs - Schoolboy Q's just turned in a remix that features a new verse. His addition fits perfectly between Smith's impassioned wails and that woozy, sweeping, maximalist backdrop. We just wish it were longer. Check it out below.

£1.7m funding has been given to the largest citizen marine science project ever undertaken to help monitor and protect marine life around the UK's coastline.
Scientists at the University of Portsmouth's Institute of Marine Sciences will play a key role in the 'Capturing our Coast' project which is recruiting 3,000 volunteers from across the UK to work alongside experts.
The project is designed to establish a baseline so scientists can better understand how the marine environment is responding to global climate change. The results will inform future policy and conservation strategies.
Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the project, led by Newcastle University, includes scientists from the universities of Portsmouth, Hull, Bangor and the Scottish Association for Marine Science, and a number of key organisations including the Marine Biological Association in Plymouth, the Marine Conservation Society, Earthwatch Institute, the Natural History Museum, Cefas and the Coastal Partnerships Network.
Dr Gordon Watson, from the University of Portsmouth, said: "One of the criticisms of citizen science in the past has been is the accuracy of the data collected. But in this project we will be helping turn our volunteers into 'specialists', working on their own chosen topics or species.
"The novelty of this new training scheme will allow volunteers to work alongside scientists in an unprecedented way."
Hundreds of volunteers from across the region will work with Dr Watson and his team from September.
Nationally, the project will also give people who don't necessarily have access to the coast the chance to join in via workshops, social media and other events.
Project lead Dr Jane Delany, from Newcastle University, said: "Collecting this information about our coastlines is vital if we are to protect them for the future but we can't do it without the help of the public.
"What this project aims to do is develop a network of citizen scientists who can help us build an accurate picture of marine life all around the UK – a baseline against which we can better understand the impact of climate change and other environmental and human factors.
"It gives us the opportunity to carry out the same experiment at the same time to gain an accurate picture of the ecological processes in the marine environment across different latitudes and environmental conditions. This data will then feed into a national database and inform future policy, conservation and science."
The project will be open for volunteers wanting to take part from September. For more information and to register an interest, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Southern food isn't my favourite, but this place in Little Burgundy does it right, and such comfort food is a beautiful thing on a cold snowy day. I love this place. Their bourbon cocktails are delicious. Their pulled pork sandwiches are delicious. Their mac & cheese is delicious. Their buttermilk pie is delicious.

Review: "English" Poutine at the Burgundy Lion
The Burgundy Lion is a British-style gastropub in the up-and-coming Little Burgundy district of Montreal. The atmosphere is pleasant, though lacking the heritage character of the Dominion Square Tavern, my favourite gastropub in town. The menu has lots of British classics (Bangers & Mash, Fish & Chips, Chicken Tikka Masala), all served with a slight local twist.
They also have something called an "English poutine." Unlike the "Irish Poutine" at McKibbins, which does not offer much in the way of Irish ingredients, this poutine is more coherent in its attempt at fusion cuisine. They use a classic British onion gravy typically reserved for bangers & mash, add a bit of Stilton if you wish, and throw in some traditional roast beef. The chips, however, aren't exactly your standard thick-cut British version.
Incidentally, I always thought "Yorkshire Poutine" would make a good fusion food – those empty eggy popovers (AKA Yorkshire pudding) are just crying for some fries, cheese, and gravy to liven them up. But I digress…

Ashton Kutcher joined Twitter, using the username @aplusk, in January 2009:
@aplusk dropping my first tweet
Demi Moore's first tweet came 10 days later under the username @mrskutcher:
@mrskutcher trying to figure this twitter deal out!
Kutcher took to Twitter famously and used it to raise his profile, challenging CNN to a race to one million followers. He won the race and overtook Britney Spears to become the first user with more than one million followers. After reaching 1,000,127 followers, he tweeted:
@aplusk Victory is ours!!!!!!!!
In 2009, Moore was accused of snubbing the wife of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who is also an avid Twitter user, by ignoring her messages on the site. The actress also took to Twitter to describe seeing Britain's Got Talent star Susan Boyle for the first time:
@mrskutcher You saw it made me teary!
For many, the couple's Twitter appeal was their intimacy and on their wedding anniversary last year, Moore tweeted a photo of the pair together in bed:
@mrskutcher Thank you for all the anniversary wishes! Enjoying a day lounging around watching "Breaking Bad" Great show! http://twitpic.com/2rmd1d
For others, Moore's tweets were just inane, such as this one about her hair:
@mrskutcher Kind of digging soft curls with a side part. A good change from straight with a middle part?
Before it was announced Kutcher was to replace Charlie Sheen in Two and a Half Men, he teased fans with a question, the answer to which is 2.5:
@aplusk what's the square root of 6.25?
As speculation mounted on the state of her marriage in September, Moore posted a number of cryptic tweets:
@mrskutcher When we are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.
2day can U feel some1 else's heart pain needs desires as U can feel your own? At the core we're all reaching 4 the same.
Kutcher's first tweet after the announcement of their divorce paid tribute to his wife:
@aplusk I will forever cherish the time I spent with Demi. Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail. Love and Light, AK

My ideas for Halloween costumes this year fell into two groups. The color red and my American Girl doll. I had 3 ideas!
- Use the Carolyn Pajama pattern to recreate Molly's bedtime look. If you follow me on Instagram you know that I still have Molly and am proud that she is in such good condition. I have the red PJ's for her so I could have carried her around with me and it would have been great. Downfalls? Was I really going to buy a butt load of red silk for a Halloween costume? I also thought of this around October 1st and hadn't even tried the pattern yet. I didn't want to rush, what was next?
- Recreate Molly's after school outfit. I actually started this in July! I have navy ultimate trousers cut out and a blackwatch plaid Archer in nearly identical fabric about 1/2 done. I could have rushed to finish, but again, I didn't want to.
- Just when I thought I would wear my witch costume for the 8th year in a row, on Thursday October 16th I saw a picture on Pinterest of someone who dressed up as a tomato pin cushion and I thought it was the perfect sewing related costume! I decided I would try it next year as I didn't have any red fabric or craft goodies to make the pins. But then, on October 17th I went to a fabric swap and wouldn't you know it, almost two yards of red cotton sateeny fabric (the exact fiber content is unknown but it feels very similar to a cotton sateen). I was in business!
I devised a plan and got to work. I would buy a red shirt, make my pins and cut out the pieces of red skirt and green foliage over the weekend. I would construct the skirt and belt the following weekend at retreat (more on this coming soon) and I would be done. I actually stuck to this plan very well. The rest of the green cotton sateen (I'm positive this time since I ordered it from Mood not too long ago), is destined to be an Elisalex with a bias bound neckline so I cut lots of strips to have enough for both projects and was going to use some to create the segment divides of the pin cushion, but ran out of time.
I cut out a waistband that would be too big so I could fit a tutu under it, but I should have realized the waistband didn't really matter as the gathers were so full and the tutu would fit without even stretching them out too far. After I cut the waistband I used every little bit of fabric so the gathers would be really full.
You might be wondering why I didn't follow right along with my inspiration costumes and that is because I like to be able to rewear things. Hence why all of my ideas were real patterns in fabrics that made them somewhat costumey. I an 100% sure I will wear a red gathered skirt again. You know how I know? I had a similar one from the Gap that I washed so much that it is now light pink! Now I just need to take the skirt in slightly and my tomato pin cushion costume becomes a garment for everyday wear!

! Warning: this post hasn't been updated in over three years and so may contain out of date information.I posted last week about a set of skins that Corrina Barber had produced for Silverlight. Well she has added a fourth one to the set and it is by far the best at showing just what can be done with Silverlight skins. As before, click on the image below to access the demo page, or click here for the source files.
She describes it as being organic in appearence. I disagree and think it looks cartoon-like, but in a really nice way. The controls basically look hand-drawn, yet work just like normal controls.

Peugeot has given the 3008 one last refresh just before the all-new model arrives next year. Debuting in China, the MPV-crossover mix gets a new front end treatment and more technologies which will appear in the second-generation model.
As mentioned above, the 3008 gets a new front fascia. The updated model now follows Peugeot's current design language, kicked off by the 308 hatchback. It now incorporates the grill to the center and eliminating the flush front end of the current model. The hood has been reshaped too, giving it a more squared-off look. Its front bumper has completely been redesigned too with its repositioned foglight housings and slimmer air dam. The rest of the car's body carries over unchanged.
Inside, the updated 3008 is the first Peugeot model to incorporate the second-generation i-Cockpit dash layout. Its instrument cluster has been repositioned for "less eye movement" and features a digital display to serve as its vehicle information screen. Peugeot has also added Visio-Park II offering a 360° view around the vehicle and collision risk alert.
At the time of writing, Peugeot has yet to confirm the engine lineup but will likely share the same powertrains seen in the 308 sedan and hatchback. Engine options include a turbocharged 1.2 liter three cylinder, a naturally aspirated 1.6 liter block and a turbocharged 1.6 liter called THP.

Hey everyone, this is a quick mini guide to give you an idea of how to play the character Yun Zhao. Watch the video above first then refer to the information down below.
Yun Zhao is a fighter character in Mobile Legends and one of the strongest you can get early on. He's great for almost any place on the field whether its Minion lanes, Hero slaying, or partnering with another hero.
In game mechanics
Yun Zhao is one of the fastest heroes in the game making it very easy for him to rush through the lanes cutting down his enemies. This makes him a great her to use for jungling and going between lanes to cover the entire field when ever there is an opening.
His skills are all well rounded for physical damage, his first skill actually giving slow down to any enemy it hits. So having Yun Zhao control the field while dealing damage is one of the best ways to play him.
Yun Zhao has a series of useful combos that are shown in the video above that make him very deadly through out the course of a match. You can utilize any of them that you find useful but stick to the ones that fit your play style.
Having Yun Zhao control the field with his speed is a great way to use him but he can also play a great lane hero just pushing through minions and dealing with turrets. His speed gives him a good advantage for lanes letting him get away from any heroes that aggro him.
Yun Zhao is also great for new players and a definite early game practice hero for anyone just starting out. So whether you're using him to learn how to play or learn how to make him your main hero, with just a little practice you'll find how well versed Yun Zhao really is.

Avenue of the Giants Scenic Drive is a 31.3 mile point-to-point trail located near Phillipsville, California that offers the chance to see wildlife. The trail is good for all skill levels and primarily used for walking, road biking, and scenic driving.

Drive through giant redwoods in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in Northern California Humboldt Redwoods State Park encompasses 53,000 acres of forests, meadows, and watersheds and about 100 miles of hiking, biking, and riding trails. Approximately 17,000 acres consists of old-growth coast redwood forests, including the 10,000 acre Rockefeller Forest, the largest contiguous old growth redwood forest in the world. The 32-mile Avenue of the Giants parallels Highway 101 and winds its way through Humboldt Redwoods State Park. This road was originally built as a stagecoach and wagon road in the 1880s. Today, the Avenue of the Giants, also knows as State Route 254, is considered a scenic alternate to Highway 101. There are several opportunities along the route to access Highway 101. Along the Avenue of the Giants eight Auto Tour Stops designate panels and interesting places to stop. Look for the Auto Tour sign to indicate where to stop. Stops are generally about 200 feet beyond the Auto Tour signs.
Drive not a hike. Great if you're on your way around the area.
Beautiful drive through some amazing trees! If you can start at the southern end, I think the northern end is prettier. I only wish that there were more hikes associated with the eight stops. We made it work with a special stop at Founders Grove and made a loop with the Mahan trail as well as the trail with stop #8 (Drury Chaney trail), but if you want more I'd look into stopping for a more substantial hike elsewhere in the park.
This road offers views of giant redwoods.
AMAZING drive! It is crazy how close some of the trees are! You can reach out and touch some of them from your car! I could drive this everyday and never grow tired of it!
Very green and pretty
A beautiful drive with stunning trees. Multiple places to pull over and hike or take pictures.
By far my favorite stretch of road I've ever been on, ever!
awesome scenery, i wouldn't stop at the Shrine drive thru tree again tho
lots of big Redwoods and easy pull outs if you want to drive slower and enjoy. black errors on the side of the road near the top, and a few trail heads. great scenic drive. for even more break off down Mattole Road and there is a lovely loop a mile before Albee campground
Breathtaking drive!
beautiful drive, great easy hiking trails to do with family and little ones.
LOTS of interesting stops along the way! Make sure to stop at Shrine's drive thru tree.
Its a must..... gotta do it!!!
No drive up the California coast would be complete without driving (and ideally hiking) through Avenue of the Giants. There aren't words or pictures that can grasp the magnitude of these trees and the utter silence that falls in the forest as soon as you step off the road. These giants seem to live in a world all their own, casting a spell over anyone who wanders through them. What a delightful drive in a serene little corner of the world.
Beautiful and peaceful away from the road
Of course you should take this drive! There are many spots to pull over and wander through the redwood groves. The Eel River flows behind the groves and can be accessed by a quick walk through the woods. We spent most of a day driving, stopping, looking, photographing, and hiking. It was well worth it.
Much more impressive than I imagined it would be. I always wanted to witness the Redwoods since I was a kid in Texas thumbing through encyclopedias looking at pictures of them. Was sad to leave this area when it was time to go. Awesome!!
Gorgeous drive. It's well worth your time to drive through all the giants regardless of how much time you spend camping and hiking around. Truly impressive.
Words can't describe the beauty of this drive....many trails are accessible right off the road. My happy place!!
This is an amazing drive no matter where you begin along the route! Great stops along the way to get out and explore.
Fantastic scenic drive
This drive is awesome, follows the river and the redwoods here are amazing!!!! With lots of cool stops along the way to explore
One of the prettiest drives anywhere around. When I was young it was the only highway there. My 1st memory of it was at the age of 10...
so cool to drive through, plenty of places to pull off and explore!
I loved the Avenue of the Giants. Its so calming driving between the tallest trees in the world. A great place to stop is the Immortal Tree, which is located at the end of the drive right before you get back onto the 101.
Very scenic. Amazing trees
