Home to California's coastal redwoods, the tallest trees on the planet, this sanctuary of old growth redwoods was set aside by President Theodore Roosevelt 100 years ago. "This is the best tree-lovers monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world," declared conservationist John Muir when describing the majestic coast redwoods of Muir Woods.
Muir Woods is also home to Banana Slugs, North Americas largest land mollusk." - Finley Holiday Films

$190 Million Estate: America's New Most Expensive Home For Sale
Greenwich, Conn. has long been known for its pricey ZIP codes, enviable proximity to New York City, and of course, a diaspora of wealthy Wall Street residents that has earned it a nickname as the hedge fund capital of the country. Now the tony town will be known for something else: as the location of America's most expensive home for sale.
With an astounding asking price of $190 million, Copper Beech Farm has come to market as one of Greenwich's last 'Great Estates,' a designation assigned by the Junior League of Greenwich in a 1986 coffee table book highlighting the town's 46 most architecturally significant historic abodes. At that nine-figure price tag, Copper Beech Farm trumps every other U.S. residence publicly listed for sale, asking nearly 30% more than the country's second most expensive home, the $135 million Crespi-Hicks estate in Dallas, Texas.

Barbie's Dream House Splits Opinion
Ballerina Barbie, Vet Barbie, Mermaid Barbie, Tribal Beauty Barbie - since she was first introduced in 1959, the long-legged blond has been everywhere and done the lot.
Now the classic figurine is inviting visitors to step inside her brand-new, life-size 'Dreamhouse'.
Built on a slice of industrial wasteland sandwiched between a railway and communist housing blocks in north-east Berlin, the building was designed by EMS Entertainment in collaboration with Mattel, Barbie's long-term manufacturers.
President of EMS Entertainment, Christoph Rahofer, is excited by the building's interactive focus: "We wanted to concentrate on the interaction between the kids and Barbie's world. A lot of things are hidden and need to be discovered; others are obvious. That, together with interactive digital games, stimulate the children's fantasies."
But not everyone is so eager to bake cup cakes in Barbie's kitchen or stroll along her catwalk.
Activists groups are picketing the pink palace, arguing Barbie's nigh-impossible physical proportions, and her unhealthy obsession with shoes make her a prime example of the sexist propaganda which dominates advertising.
'Occupy Barbie Dreamhouse' are one of several groups leading the charge, and as Michael Koschitzki of the same grassroots collective explains, theirs is a fight against both plush consumerism and the 'pinkification' of young girls: "We will come and protest at the opening day of the Barbie Dreamhouse because we think that young girls are being presented with the wrong role model. Cooking, putting on makeup and singing are presented as the goals of women's lives. Small children are being confronted with a cult of beauty. They will have two choices here for what they can achieve in their lives, pop star or supermodel. We think that this is discriminating."
In response to these claims, Mattel insists it has modernized the doll's image, creating presidential candidate versions, brain surgeons, and a new Angela Merkel look-alike.
After its Berlin debut, the house will go on a tour of other European cities from the end of August.
