The contests do lead to deep

Manor on Golden Pond is named after the hit movie classic On Golden Pond starring Katherine Hepburn and Henry Fonda. Heck, the cast and crew stayed here during the 1981 filming which was a huge PR boost for a village of a few specialty shops and marina on Squam Lake. Although monumental, this movie is but one event weaved into the much broader fabric of time in New Hampshire's Lakes Region. For over 150 years, tranquility and natural beauty have been the main features of escaping here.

Figuring out a way to get my kids to learn how to ski exhausted me.

It was mainly the tedious, multi-faceted preparation/research process that freaked me out, like deciding on a destination that was easily accessible from my home in northern New Jersey.  And choosing a resort that was appealing, well-reviewed, and as parent-friendly as it was kid-friendly.  And making sure that other activities were available to keep my 14 year-old son (Eddie) and 11 year-old daughter (Lee) occupied after their

In the post-war years, a new tram system was being born. Although tramways were being dismantled all over the United Kingdom, tram enthusiast Claude Lane, who owned a factory which made battery-electric milk floats, adapted his manufacturing techniques to build a scaled-down double-deck tram, to run on a 15-inch gauge track.

Lane’s miniature tram ran off batteries, and the minimum-gauge was easily portable. So, Lane was able to amortise some of the costs of building his miniature tram by exhibiti

Will Smith y su hijo Jaden protagonizaron el filme futurista «Después de la Tierra» (After Earth). El largometraje fue estrenado en EE.UU. durante el pasado mes de junio. Parte de su grabación fue realizada en medio de la naturaleza de Costa Rica. Esta sirvió de ambientación para una trama que gira en torno a la supervivencia en un planeta Tierra indómito y hostil.
