Having little interest in the subject material of this title, I found that I was not terribly compelled by the story line...I found a majority of the animation to be uninteresting, which certainly detracted from the title.
With a long playing time, and loads of intrigue, this game is a sure bet for history buffs and casual fans...A must have, but clear your schedule as it takes between 50 and 60 hours to complete.
A new and better way of telling an interactive story and as such provides a role model for the gaming industry. It is highly original and richly deserves all the awards it will surely get.
However, its extreme nonlinearity, the inclusion of violent scenes, and a sense of being what is in reality a completely timed game set it apart from standard pure adventure fare.
Simply put, adventure games just aren't meant to be so narrowly (literally) limited within the confines of a train. On the other hand, anyone who's played this can't argue the fact that tremendous amount of effort was put into the game design and production.
Through its use of real time and brilliant writing, the game ups the ante for storytelling in gaming. And if it weren't for a few gameplay issues, The Last Express could very well be among the best adventure games ever.
And this is probably what I liked least about The Last Express. You often don't know what to do. Nobody is giving you any clearly defined quests (recover this, deliver that, kill this). I suppose that's part of the mystery, but I prefer slightly less mysterious games.
A unique and polished adventure game with a strong, sustained historical flavor. [June 1997, p.108]

Jan 7, 2012What Howard the Duck is to movies The Last Express is to video games. The nerds prove their uberness by loving the game or movie the masses justifiably hate. This is a bad game. Scratch that. It's horrible. It's neither fun nor interesting and it's only allure is in the "gee whiz" factor that builds credibility among wanna-be game designers. It has retroscoping! So what? It's boring. It's in real time! So what? It's not fun. Lets look at the fundamental truth of this game. Imagine that someone dumped you in the middle of a maze and told you that you had one hour to get out. You know nothing about the size or the shape of the maze or where the exit is located. If you make a wrong turn, you die. (Which you will do a lot in this game for reasons that are at best inexplicable and at worst laughable). If you die you get to start the maze over or rewind the game to some arbitrary point in time in the past.. That's all there is to the game. Live and hour and get out. There is no plot, no hints. You just guess then die. Guess then die. Guess and live for a few minutes until the 'guess then die' mechanic starts all over again. And this is FUN FUN FUN because some masochists keep insisting it is. Don't believe them. Howard the Duck is a horrible movie and this is a horrible game.… Full Review »
AnonymousMCApr 16, 2006this is a nearly perfect game & one of the greatest of all time. few, if any games up to that point were as immersive or realistic (and implausibilities in the plot are carried off without a hitch or a wink by the mass of talent & technique infusing every detail of the game - you don't have to swallow it down like bad medicine just so you can beat the game, you actually enjoy it all). it's lack of "clearly defined quests" is one of its strongest points, as is its unique save system - though that its difficult to find a review that doesn't harp on it. it's always worked like a charm for me. 10/10… Full Review »
Jul 2, 2013This is definitely a 'cult' game. People generally either love it or hate it.
I didn't hate it, necessarily, I could see why others would enjoy it, but for me it simply became too tedious to play. Events unfold in real time but in many cases there aren't enough clues to know where you should be next, never mind that time is also a factor. There's a ton of die-and-retry in the game. Even a vague clue at the end of each attempt might have made the game a lot more playable.
As others have stated, the rotoscoped graphics are kind of a treat or were, back when this game was made. However, the tradeoff is the animation and movement are literally frame by frame, so be ready for circa 1984 gameplay.
The story, costumes and historical setting are where this game really shines. You really feel like you're on an old train. The art and camera direction are excellent. That might put it over the top for some.… Full Review »

Mobile applications: native v Web apps - what are the pros and cons?
Rapid advances in HTML5, the new more mobile friendly version of the Web language, and the hard work by the standards body World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to create standard interfaces across mobile devices mean that Web apps can – or will be able to – do many of the things that native apps can do.
Early this year GIA released a pioneering research paper entitled Native or Web Application? that surveyed businesses that had created both Web apps and mobile apps. Who better to guide us through the pros and cons of each platform than the author of that report, Lie Luo?
This is the fourth in our series of six app-related articles, interviews and guides. See also:
• What you can learn from the FT Web app: interview with Steve Pinches (Published April 2012)

• What is a mobile Web app? Expert opinion from the W3C
• Do mobile apps deliver ROI?
Q&A with Lie Luo, head of telecom, technology and media practice at Global Intelligence Alliance (GIA)
1) What is a mobile application? And what is the difference between a native and a Web app?
A mobile application is software written for mobile devices that performs a specific task, such as a game, calendar, music player, etc.
GIA defines a native app as one that is specifically designed to run on a device's operating system and machine firmware, and typically needs to be adapted for different devices. A Web app, or browser application, is one in which all or some parts of the software are downloaded from the Web each time it is run. It can usually be accessed from all Web-capable mobile devices.
2) What is the technical difference between the two?
One interesting point to note is that while architectural differences will likely remain between a native and Web application for some time, the user experiences provided by both interfaces are increasingly blurred, as most native apps utilize real-time Web connectivity and Web apps provide offline modes that can be accessed without network connectivity. As a result, some of these apps are now referred to as hybrid apps.
3) What came first for mobile phone – the native app or Web app?
Definitely the native app. Recall that preinstalled programs (i.e. apps) such as address book, calendar and calculator appeared on the mobile phone much before the availability of Web connectivity. The most memorable example was when Nokia implemented the classic arcade game of Snake in 1998, which became a massive hit around the world.
4) What was it about the smartphone that changed everything?
I try to avoid the term 'smartphone', since it can mean different things to different people. However, in terms of mobile apps, the single most significant event that changed the whole industry was when Apple introduced the App Store in 2008 shortly after it opened up the iOS software development kit (SDK) to third-party developers. The iPhone's superior user interface and integrated billing via iTunes led to an explosion in downloads over its platform, and permanently transitioned the gravity of mobile app distribution away from the 'walled gardens' of mobile carriers to the app-store environments of handset manufacturers.
Another answer to your question is that the modern smartphone is increasingly behaving and is perceived as being like a Swiss Army knife, i.e. it's become a general platform for running more specific third-party apps and tools. Just a few years ago mobile phones were still sold as predefined packages of usability and features, where manufacturers largely differentiated their offerings on form factor alone.
5) When did third-party developers really start getting interested in a) the native app; b) Web app? What were their motives? How have these motives evolved?
For native apps, the advent of the Apple App Store was the game changer. For mobile Web apps, however, notable developer interest emerged only in the last year or so after Google's successful implementation of HTML5-based apps. Naturally mobile Web sites had existed long before that, e.g. WAP portals, but GIA does not count them as a Web app from a user-experience point of view.
In terms of motives, if you ask most native application developers why they choose to develop for a native OS they are most likely to say it is because of the superior user interface and commercial opportunities offered by e.g. the iPhone App Store. However, more and more developers and publishers are beginning to evaluate the Web interface due to its greater ability to enlarge audience reach and conduct version updates more quickly.
6) What is the market share today between native v Web v both? How is this expected change over the next five years?
Unofficial statistics from different sources suggest that there should be around 400,000 active native apps among various vendor and operator store fronts. Reliable estimates for the total number of mobile Web apps, however, are harder to come by. However, many believe it is much lower: for instance a mere 4,880 apps are listed on Apple's Web App Store to date.
Our mobile publisher study Native or Web Application? confirms that sentiment, as 44 percent of respondents only offer a native application, as compared to 22 percent that offer a Web application, or 35 percent that offer both. However, when we asked them about future plans, the percentage of those offering a Web app or both remained the same, while many of those with native app alone said their app strategy choice remains to be seen and may change over time.
7) If Web apps have an increasingly significant market share, why have most people never heard of a Web app? Why are there so few app stores and directories focused on Web apps?
I think Web apps are less known largely due to a relative lack of commercial interest from vendors in promoting their usage. For instance, handset manufacturers increasingly compete on the popularity of their operating systems based on the number and variety of native apps specifically available to their devices. In addition, manufacturers typically also take a 30 percent cut from every native app sold through their app stores.
In contrast, Web apps are typically designed to be accessible across different device platforms and distributed typically free of charge. The content delivered through Web apps, however, can of course be billed independently e.g. by subscription.
8) What do native apps do better than Web apps? How long will this remain the case?
When we asked publishers that offer both application interfaces to compare the two, twice as many publishers saw higher user adoption, usage volume and user engagement (i.e. duration of usage per session) over native apps. In particular 30 percent of these publishers actually saw over 100 percent higher usage volume and engagement on native apps as compared to Web apps. Our study also found that native apps deliver a higher click-through rate (CTR) among the ad-serving publishers, although experiences can vary by company and content category.
While we do expect native apps to maintain their lead in user adoption and engagement in the near future, it is important to recognize the large variances in publishers' experiences and, in many cases, the difference in adoption is driven by the gap in user friendliness between the same company's native and Web app interfaces. Many developers argue that the relatively poor user experience offered by currently available Web apps are due to a lack of access to native device features such as GPS, camera, calendar and accelerometer, but that is soon to change.
9) What do Web apps do better than native apps? How long will this remain the case?
Currently Web apps' advantages primarily lie with application developers and publishers. Direct control over the application's distribution and cost advantages are usually the main reasons for launching a Web application. For instance, over half of our respondents state that Web apps are both cheaper and faster to develop and maintain, while 23 percent claim cost savings of more than 100 percent compared to native apps and 40 percent say that development of a Web app will be weeks quicker. Apart from man hours, it helps that skilled Web developers are far more readily available than those skilled in native programming languages such as the iPhone's Objective-C.
Another fundamental advantage is that Web apps are run on common browsers that can be accessed on most Web-enabled smartphones, so device-specific customization is much simpler from a developer standpoint. Therefore the cost advantage increases as the degree of hardware fragmentation increases. Another major benefit, as mentioned before, is that delivering updates for a Web app is much more convenient.
Since these are architectural advantages, we expect them to remain the case further into the future.
There is a misconception that Web apps cannot offer access to device capabilities, but the W3C is leading a concerted effort among browser vendors, handset manufacturers and operators to introduce such features via browser application programming interface (API)s. In fact the GPS API is already publicly available and included in many new browsers/handsets. I would not be surprised if in 1-2 years we will have augmented reality (AR) Web apps that will use the handset's camera, accelerometer and GPS.
For consumers, Web apps have traditionally represented a cost disadvantage particularly when roaming data across countries. With the availability of the offline mode and more regulated roaming charges, at least in Europe, that problem should fade away over time, for example for news apps.
10) Why do many companies decide to do both? Can you give examples of companies that do both?
It has a lot to do with the fact that we are still very early into the era of mobile marketing, let alone cross-media broadcasting and advertising. As such many companies are testing the waters with both interfaces and waiting to observe how the overall industry and user behavior evolve.
Google is one prime example of a company that holds strategic interests in both approaches. On one hand it is launching and testing innovative apps such as Google Goggles first on Android, its own open-sourced OS platform; on the other it also makes sure that all of its established consumer apps such as Gmail, Maps and Voice can be accessed by all users from iPhone to BlackBerry to Nokia through the use of Web or additional native apps.
There are also numerous other examples from online business such as eBay, eBuddy, Twitter and Facebook, as well as bricks-and-mortar businesses such as FedEx and Continental Airlines. Typically only large companies with bigger development budgets can afford to offer both application interfaces.
11) Which categories of organization tend to choose or are best suited to native, Web or both options?
Our study shows that games, social networking, lifestyle and entertainment, technology and gadgets, and travel and local category apps, tend to prefer the native approach.
Web apps are dominated by news and weather publishers, who either only support a Web application or offer both. We know this because many major publishers with origins in both print media and broadcast have shown strong interest in our study results. Similarly, other categories such as communications, financial services, retail and shopping, where iterative design and user analytics are more relevant, may also prefer the Web approach.
There is no particular category of organization that chooses to launch both native and Web apps – the main consideration is: can we afford it?
12) Which types of organization tend to choose native, Web or both options for: a) paid-for; b) ad funded; c) new channel to market (e.g. retailers, banks); d) seeding business via free demo, proof of concept; e) pure marketing, i.e. creating a branded novelty app or game to give away for free? (Would you say those are the main five types of app?)
I agree with your categorization, but would also add 'subscription' to the mix. Over 40 percent of our publisher respondents offer subscriptions as an important monetization model. As mentioned previously media companies have been particularly interested in our study. Generally speaking, big media publishers prefer to offer a Web application as an add-on to their existing subscribers, since it can be more easily integrated with their standard Web content without having to customize individual native apps. As said before, direct billing and version updates for subscription-based content also become easier when you launch over the Web browser.
On the other hand, we recognize that native apps will likely remain the preferred interface particularly for heavier apps that prefer to run from the device's internal memory and for pay-per-download apps thanks to integrated billing options over native App Stores.
Regarding whether Web or native apps help to ad-fund or purely promote a service or brand, we don't see any rule-of-thumb – different companies have achieved success via entirely different approaches. One thing that could be generalized, however, is that Web apps are definitely picking up steam in both developer and consumer adoption, so it is a channel that should not be overlooked. In fact I would argue it should be the first interface for brands to consider before moving into full-blown native development.
13) Which application is more secure?
Native apps definitely enjoy an architectural advantage in security, as they do not need to connect with the network as frequently as Web apps and, in some cases, skip the process altogether.
14) What's the future? Any concluding comments?
So far we have been mainly discussing the choice between native and Web apps for mobile devices. It is important to recognize that we are increasingly moving toward a 'multi-screen' world, where brands will want to engage their users across a variety of media touch points. In that light the same debate will carry on to tablet devices and now Web-connected TVs, thanks to the expansion of Android and iOS platforms.
Personally I believe Web apps will take on a larger mind share among both publishers and consumers, as hardware complexity grows and the desire for immediacy increasingly dominates modern media consumption behavior.

Just wait till you hear the driver open up those valves at the 10-second mark in this WorldSupercars YouTube video.
$20 million in greenbacks sitting inside the safe of my choosing is definitely worth more to me than $20 million floating in space. Apple pie à la mode is worth significantly more to my taste buds than apple pie paired only with a plate. One look at this week's Wednesday wallpaper, and suddenly the equation "1 + 1 = 3″ begins making a lot more sense. Don't be surprised if your computer desktop whispers, "I'm extra worthy" after you plaster these 'Vettes and jets on your computer screen for the week. I mean, "'Vettes and jets" — the combo even rhymes, so you know it was meant to be.
Here are the mangled remnants of a Corvette after the driver lost control of the car on a Norwegian highway. Apparently, the Corvette hit a barrier, jumped into another lane and then crashed into an oncoming car, causing a few other vehicles (including a Dodge Ram … yes, a Dodge Ram in Norway) to wreck.
The next time I hear someone say, "You never really see famous people driving Corvettes in Hollywood," I'm going to pull this photo up on my phone and say, "really?" In fact, I might even print out a few copies and send them to a couple of Ferrari dealerships in Los Angeles. I'd bet that would stir up conversations around those espresso machines.
The last Corvette has been pulled from the sinkhole, but about the only positive thing I can make of it is that we're finally over this dreadful part of the ordeal. Donated by Kevin and Linda Helmintoller of Land O' Lakes, Florida, the Mallett Hammer was valued at about $120,000 at one point, but I can't even begin to imagine how much money it would take to rebuild it.

Nice, clean hotel butPosted Oct 20, 2014
Pros: It was clean, the room was ready when we got there, staff was nice.
We were in town for a popular concert and parking at the hotel was an issue; they had a clerk in the parking lot trying to find places for everyone to park, we wound up in the fire lane! Our room also faced the freeway and your heard traffic noise all night.

Good hotelPosted Aug 4, 2014 on Hotels.com
Our stay was great. The hotel was clean, staff was nice and helpful. We didn't eat the breakfast so I can't review that but the coffee was really good. The beds were uncomfortable but the rest of the room was great. There is not a whole lot of parking spaces so i recommend you return by 10:00 pm or you will have to park at the hotel next door.The location was awesome only 4.5 miles to six flags and 8 miles to sea world. If you plan on going both places I would recommend this hotel. All in all we had a good time.

Look for more posts soon
Due to our personal issue last Friday, we haven't posted recently. We should be back up and going in the next couple of days. Thanks for the understanding.
We Were Robbed and Here is What We Wish We Would Have Known
On Friday someone broke into our house and stole a number of items. It sucks, but we thought we'd at least try to make lemonade out lemons. So, we wanted to share what we wish we would have known before it happened, in case it can help someone else:
- We were robbed when I went to pick up the kids from daycare at 4:30PM on Friday, so it can happen any time
- The house was empty for less than 45 minutes, so it can happen fast
- In our case, the burglar pounded on a basement window to break the locking mechanism and climbed through into the basement. We should have had something in the window tracks to prevent the window from opening.
- It appears the burglar went straight to the bedrooms and started going through drawers looking for jewelry. We should have either had it locked up or put in some random place. We've since read that an average break-in takes 8 minutes… so whatever you do to make it harder and more time consuming is good.
- The thief took laptops and ipads he found along the way. The serial numbers on these are your best shot of catching him when he tries to sell them. Make sure you have them.
- The thief stole a hand gun. It was in a locked case and out of the way. So, thieves are smart. I didn't keep track of the serial number. I should have so that law enforcement would have a record.
- I was in such a panic when I found out, that I missed obvious things like that the thief left a clipboard in my bedroom. Try to slow dow and take it all in so you can provide all info to law enforcement.
- If people are walking around your neighborhood and it seems strange, call your security company or law enforcement. It never hurts to be safe. If the person is on the up and up, then a visit with security shouldn't be a problem.
- Touch as little as you can. The thief may or may not wear gloves. If not, being careful may preserve a fingerprint.
- The sheriff's deputy who came to assist had just worked a fatal motorcycle accident. He was remarkably composed. These men and women have a tough job.
- Anything you really don't want stolen should be in a safe deposit box. We got off relatively lucky… but it was sheer luck. We'll pay $60 a year for a box on Monday.
Anyhow, we hope this helps someone else avoid our fate. Having two dogs, we thought something like this would never happen. We were wrong.
Does Five Guys Have the Best Customer Service of Any Restaurant in Park City?
You may know Five Guys. It's the quick-serve burger joint in Kimball Junction that arrived as park of the area's latest expansion. They are known for their statement that there isn't a freezer in the place (i.e. nothing is frozen before you eat it). Yet, that's not the surprising thing. What surprises us most is that it may have the best customer service of any restaurant in or around Park City.
We know what you are thinking, there is no way a hamburger business could have better service than all the Food-and-Wine-Magazine restaurants on Main Street. We're not so sure. When you walk into Five Guys you'll usually hear them say something like "3" customers in the door. Before you get to the counter, they'll greet you with a smile and ask how you are doing. Once we asked back, "How are you?". The guy taking our order pointed at the mountains out the windows and said " how could I be bad with that view?" They take your order, make sure it is right, and provide you your number. When they bring out your food, it's in a brown paper bag typically with the top folded impeccably to prevent heat from escaping. We've eaten at Five Guys at least a dozen times, with pretty complicated orders, and have never had a mistake with the order. The experience is frankly shocking, when you realize these people aren't making tips and probably not much more than minimum wage.
That's not to say we haven't had great experiences at places like Riverhorse and Wahso on Main Street. They stand up equally in terms of customer service. Yet of the restaurants we've tried on Main (and we've been to most), only a few equal the customer service at the little burger joint in Kimball.
We do get it. Finding good help for a Top 100 Wine Spectator Magazine restaurant is tough. Yet, somehow a chain hamburger restaurant is besting most of the best that Park City has to offer.
Is it Our Community's Responsibility to Ensure Availability of Housing for Seasonal Workers?
Each year about this time we read about seasonal workers struggling to find places to stay around Park City. This problem then gets muddled with affordable and workforce housing. The conclusion is typically that the citizens of Park City need to figure this out…or else. Case in point is the ending sentence from this year's Park Record article on the topic. "If the ski season pans out as predicted,workforce housing will be back at the top of the agenda in a serious way and Park City's future success will depend on how effectively it is addressed."
While we don't doubt that temporary workers have a tough time finding places to stay, it doesn't seem that cut and dry. However, first let's cut to the chase on what affordable and workforce housing traditionally means. Typically the terms workforce and affordable housing are used interchangeably and mean rental units and homes that people can afford whose salary is between 60% and 120% of Area Medium Income (AMI). AMI for a family in Park City is 70,602. So, in this case workforce housing is targeted at families with incomes from 40,000 to 84,000. A temporary worker, coming to Park City for the winter likely doesn't fit into this range. That doesn't mean that they don't suffer from an issue, it's just not really a traditional "affordable housing" problem. Affordable housing initiatives seem targeted at those people who live here year round and always need a place to stay (i.e. it's not just a winter issue). But that's another topic entirely.
So, we have people who come to Park City to work during the winter and need a place to stay for 4 months. In years gone by, we could see how it would seem like a local issue. Deer Valley, PCMR, and Canyons (ParkWest or Wolf Mountain in way earlier times) felt local and we needed to support out local. That's not the case anymore. Today's Park City is really Deer Vally and Vail. Deer Valley makes multi, multi millions per year, enough so that they bought Solitude. Vail had revenues of $1.3 billion in 2013. Do cities like Anaheim and Orlando concern themselves with housing for Disney workers? Not really. If anything they push Disney to figure it out. The same should happen here. If those company's want the best workers, they'll figure out a way to make sure they get them and they'll take care of this issue along the way.
There are, of course, others that come to Park City during the season to work restaurants, ski shops, and other ancillary jobs outside the resorts. While the numbers pale in comparison, we're not sure that's really our responsibility either. The city and county get sales tax revenue from these businesses, and that benefits the community. However, the people who own the businesses are the people who monetarily succeed based on their employees. Again, it seems like perhaps the businesses should work together to figure this out.
So, we hear about the problem every year but each year we get a little more numb to it. Our sympathy we feel for the worker slowly shifts to disbelief toward the corporations.Yet, every year that we make it out to be a city, county, or community problem is one more year that the businesses don't have to fix the issue.
So the question we ask is, "Is this really our community's problem or does the answer lie with the businesses that profit?" We have our opinion but we expect come November 2015, we'll hear all about this again.
On 2-for-1's Dinners Don't Pay the Extra Sales Tax
Park City Restaurants are winding down their 2-for-1 offers but we recently learned a way to save a little cash. It seems that most Park City restaurants include the tip, for what would have been the total price, on the bill of most 2-for-1's. It's much like when you have a party of 6 or more and the tip is already on the bill when you get it. The restaurant is afraid you'll stiff the wait staff by not tipping for the "real" value of the meal.
However, this costs you money. That's because any tip that is included on the bill by the restaurant is subject to sales tax per Utah tax law. So, save yourself the sales tax and tell your server you'll tip on the "real" amount and see if they will let you hand write your tip. That way you don't get charged the extra tax. It's likely only a few bucks, but why not keep it if you can.
Do We Really Want a Diversified Economy?
A friend of ours was visiting with a long-time Park City resident. He, like many of the people who have lived in Park City since the 1960's, talk about how it's not the same place it used to be. He goes a step further, though. When people ask him if they should move to Park City, he no longer says yes. "It's not the resort town it was a few years ago," he will say. He'll then follow up and say "let me tell you about this small town in Idaho." It's not an unusual story, except for the fact he tells people that they probably don't want to live here. However, it got us to thinking about Park City as a resort town.
One of the biggest movements over the past few years in Park City and Summit County it to try and diversify the economy. You witness that in the million-plus square feet of "tech" space in the Boyer Tech Park. You see that in the shell of the movie studio being built. You see that in the discussion the City Council is having about what role they should play in the area's economic development. Yet, every time we move closer to having a diverse economy, that takes us farther away from being a resort community.
In a perfectly diverse community, the Park City area would host other industries that would be equivalent in economic impact to the Sundance Film Festival, Deer Valley, PCMR, and Canyons, as well as the hotels, restaurants, and shops that support these entities. The thinking goes that this diversification provides more high paying jobs and would help the area weather an economic slowdown. This is the answer for many residents who say "how can my children afford to live in Park City?".
The problem is that if we were able to bring in all these other industries, it really does contribute to the Sandy-fication of Park City. There is something special about a resort town. It has a certain feel to it. The people live and die with it. Snow is not just pretty, it's the lifeblood of the town. Everyone knows it and most people agree. People are united behind a singular idea and resources are focused on this singular mission.
The converse can be found in the areas like Salt Lake. Sure, they have access to arguably the best ski hills around in Alta and Snowbird, but it's not a ski town (no matter how many slogans they try to rip off from Colorado). There are ski shops and restaurants like Porcupine that gets its share of post-ski traffic, but no one would confuse Salt Lake with Aspen. It's not a resort town.
So what does Park City want to be? A resort town or a town with some ski resorts. The distinction is really important and really should guide many of the decisions we make.
If we want to try and maintain as many of the things that that made Park City special to the "old-timers", then the resort focus should help guide us. That means approving development that furthers tourism. That means making decisions based on supporting visitors. That means perfecting Park City for the person visiting from Chicago. It won't be the same as it was, but it will be the modern day version.
However, if we want to try and foster a more diverse economy with many diverse jobs, then we should be concerned with providing economic incentives, infrastructure for small business, and lots of mid-range housing. We should look to areas like Sandy, Ogden, and Draper that have been successful and emulate what they have done.
To do what we have been doing and playing both sides really doesn't serve anyone's best interest. If we continue the path we are on, with a constantly shifting focus, we are likely to get the Park City we all fear. One that is, at best, mediocre.
We Predict the Next Big Park City Battle…
…teachers versus district…
Now that Vail VS PCMR is settled, with the only loser being a coffee company (and perhaps a community), we thought we might chime in on the next big Park City battle. It's funny how one test, in this case the SAGE test, can upset the apple cart. As Rahm Emanuel says, "You never let a serious crisis go to waste."
SAGE is the latest Utah standardized test that attempts to gauge student understanding of key concepts and labels students as proficient (or not) in those subjects. The results were not what most parents expected. Overall in the district, 57% were proficient in language, 52% proficient in mathematics, and 55% proficient in in science.
So, the school district set goals of increasing each student group's (i.e. 3rd grade Hispanic kids) proficiency by about 6%. So, for instance, "By May 2015, 3rd grade Hispanic students will increase proficiency from 17% to 23% in English Language Arts." The next SAGE test is spring 2015 and there isn't much time to actually do anything other than set goals. So, that's what has been done.
Yet, the process for long-term change is what interests us. It's shaping up as school administration versus teacher. The School District is pushing for Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) as a solution to low test scores. PLCs have been called "the most powerful professional professional development and change strategy available." Yet, the PLC concept requires that teachers work together to find the optimal education path for each student. That sounds great, but can you and your husband completely agree on the best path for your own kid? How are 5 teachers, who have different backgrounds, opinions, and strategies going to come together to prescribe the optimal strategy for every child? They likely can't but that's not the point of this piece.
The point is to say that many teachers are going to hate this. They, much like they've forced their students to do, will begrudgingly work together because of edicts from above. Many teachers are artists, they find the right mix of paints to put on the canvas in order to create a "Bob Ross." Artists create masterpieces but 5 artists rarely enjoy coming together to make a masterpiece (with the exception of We are the World, of course).
Will multiple teachers be able to work together to find the best solution for each child? Will they have time for the additional meetings that this will require? Will they feel this takes away from "learning"? Will each teacher feel they own the process or will they feel they are forced into this experiment? Will teachers compete against each other rather than work together?
Will a group of teachers be able to come together and provide a better educational experience than each individual teacher did alone? In some ways it's a challenge to teachers. Park City has some of the highest paid teachers in the state but SAGE test results were sub-par. In many industries the highest paid can adapt and make success out of about any situation. Teachers are being told "from above" that they will work together and children will get better test scores. Can they achieve that? What does that pressure feel like? Does salary equate to success when the direction is provided from above?
If it's like most industries where management tells the employee what to do, we can anticipate the results. It's not going to be pretty. You won't read about it in the Park Record. You may hear a simple question that alludes to it on KCPW and not much more. However, you'll really hear about it at dinner parties and at Hugo Coffee on weekends.
One of Bob Dylan's songs is "The times they are a changing." That seems pretty apropos for the Park City School District. The district feels test scores need to rise TODAY. The only people that can influence that are students and teachers. So, the district devises a plan for the teachers. Was it well thought out? Did it get teacher buy-in? Will it ultimately be successful?
The process may be more entertaining that HBO boxing on Friday nights. It should be interesting to watch.
Which Park City Schools will Be Closed to Outside Enrollment in 2015?
This week, the Park City School District discusses which of our schools will be "open" for enrollment next year. Open for enrollment means that students from other districts can apply to go to a Park City School. This year Parley's Park and Trailside were closed.
While things could change based on school board discussions, given the data it looks like Trailside will remain closed, Parley's Park will be open again, and the high school will become closed.
The high school being "closed" presents an interesting situation. Park City School District Policy states that any out-of-district student who starts elementary school can complete elementary school, but has to re-apply for middle school. The same rule applies for each transition between classes of school (elementary school, middle school, junior high, high school). So, that could mean that current district students at Treasure Mountain may not be able to continue at the high school.
The other interesting thing to note, given current calculations, there is room for over 500 out-of-district students in Park City schools. If you recall, our last property tax increase was partly due to 200 extra students. So, it looks like there is plenty of room for our costs to escalate even further.
It's too bad for Park City Roasters, but ….
It's unfortunate to hear that Park City Roasters has lost its PCMR contract. We like local success stories.
However, that got us to thinking, Park City Roasters never really had our PERSONAL contract. Why? It's just too expensive. Typically a bag of Park City Roasters coffee costs $11.99 at the super market. Starbucks, Pete's, or Dunkin Doughnuts costs between $7.99 and $8.99 per bag. We don't mind paying a little more for local but not 35%-50%.
So, we wish it was different but we can't criticize too much when we don't have a personal contract with PC Roasters either.
Superintendent Dr Ember Conley May Be the Exact Right Person to Address our Schools' Upcoming Challenges
On Tuesday, the Park City School Board discussed class sizes of Park City Schools. Before this discussion, Superintendent Conley spoke about a vision for where the schools were going and how that impacts class size. We found the honesty, focus, insight, and willingness to address hard topics refreshing. Not everyone will like what she has to say, but the path our school system is on is unsustainable. The status quo is not an option.
Here are Dr Conley's comments:
"I think we are taking the focus away from what we need to be focused on which is what careers and college expectations do we need to prepare our students for. Take class sizes out of it. We are looking at our specific courses. Just because we've always done it, doesn't mean we are going to continue doing it the same way next year. I'm just going to throwing [an example] out. Just because we've offered weight training, 3 sections, does not mean we are going to continue that. We also have a growing demand for computer science, programming, coding. So, I think rather than getting hyper focused on class sizes. We have the information. It goes to what is the absolute requirement that we have to have our students be prepared for and have the opportunity to learn in our schools."
A school board member then says that the items they hear about all the time from citizens and teachers is about class size. He says "so we've got a little bit of a disconnect." Dr. Conley responds:
"See, I think they are completely connected. As we go through this refinement, this is going to be a difficult time and I'm preparing you because there is going to be some disappointment and there is going to be some shifts in what we've always done to be able to prepare for the future. And so there is going to be shifts in staffing. There's going to be shifts in what we've always offered. And those are going to be some very hard conversations because it does affect staffing. This is where you have to say, If I free up staffing in this area that really is very fluffy or not needed to prepare our students for that data we just saw, we have more staffing to be able to put in to class sizes that are high … and that is the whole conversation [we've been having]."
It's really hard to argue with what Dr Conley said above. The overall goal of school is to prepare students for the future and the more focused everyone stays on that issue, the better the outcomes for our students. It would be a nice luxury if our students could spend all day in Plato's Academy, discussing topics like what is good and shadows on the wall, but that's not tomorrow's world. Tomorrow's world poses a myriad of challenges and we owe it to our students to prepare them as best we can. We give them the most opportunity by offering those courses that prepare them the best, even if that does upset parents, teachers, and students at times.
We wish Dr Conley and her administrators luck. We're sure it's not going to be easy, but we think you may be on the right path.

Eccentry Holidays knows that taking flights requires a lot of steps and procedures that aren't always considered before arriving to the airport. It's not always easy to plan for a trek through the airport, especially since there are so many rules that have to be followed, and the shortcuts that some people know about don't always come to mind for others.
If you want a few tricks that'll help for the airport, here are just a few shared by Eccentry Holidays that'll make that part of the trip much easier.
Try using vacuum sealers to pack clothes into a carry-on sized bag. Some complications can come from trying to check in a bag, and with that comes worrying about how much it weighs, and that could open a whole can of worms that no one wants to deal with. Trying to fit what you need in a carry-on bag (just make sure the liquid items are in 3 ounce containers) will eliminate some steps in the airport, and can even save you some money.
Bring empty water bottles through security instead of buying water beforehand. Since liquids in more than 3 ounce containers can't go through security, it would be pointless to try and bring water to the airport. Bringing an empty one will allow you to go through security and still get some water without paying the ridiculous prices at the airport.
Need the wifi in the airport, but can't figure out the passwords? Look up forums online (such as Foursquare) to find the password. Eccentry Holidays believes that chances are that people have found them out beforehand, and will relay the message to the online community, making the data rates while you're at the airport much cheaper.
Eccentry Holidays says to take precautions to while traveling and minimize danger on the streets. Don't forget to breathe in panicking situations and use the same common sense traveling overseas that you would at home.
Be especially cautious in areas where you may be more easily victimized. These include crowded subways, train stations, elevators, tourist sites, market places, festivals and crime-ridden neighborhoods. Eccentry Holidays shares the following precautions so that you are safe.
Eccentry Holidays is well aware that all-inclusive vacations are more appealing for some families with a specific budget, and a specific goal regarding vacationing. Your all-inclusive package will include a round trip airfare from your departure destination to your accommodating hotel with all meals and deals included.
The all-inclusive holiday packages also offer you a little extra such as a Safari tour and on-sight recreation. So in fact, it really means that once you reach your destination you do not need to spend a penny unless you go outside of your resort to buy souvenirs. A great benefit of the all-inclusive is your budget stays in check, however the largest benefit is the comfort of having everything handled and not needing to lift a finger.
Eccentry Holidays members adore the all-inclusive vacation for its fabulous dining options, special privileges and many water recreational facilities. The best thing is that all these activities are included and part of the all-inclusive deal.
Eccentry Holidays also recommends visitors book into all inclusive packages when they plan to holiday at Walt Disney World as there are many privileges attached, especially when you are the guests of Disney Resorts. Guests can visit its different themed water parks and even enjoy the free Shuttle Service back and forth between its different attractions.

Summer is one of the hottest times for vacationing. The kids are out of school and the family wants to do something together to celebrate so they head to amusement parks or go on road trips. The summer is also the best time for something else though, and that is heat. Eccentry Holidays wants travelers to enjoy themselves while they are on vacation, so they have provided these tips to help travelers stay cool and shaded even while adventuring in the summer heat:
Always have water: Not drinking enough water in the heat is dangerous, so make sure to keep your body hydrated and bring water wherever you go. Most theme parks and attractions will allow you to bring your own water in as long as the cap is secure when you enter, so bring your own water whenever you can so that you do not have to pay for overpriced water once you are inside.
Sunscreen is essential: Nothing kills a vacation like a bad sunburn. Make sure that you and your traveling companions, especially kids, apply sunscreen regularly to avoid burns. Eccentry Holidays also reminds you that you can get sunburned even when it is cloudy or if you are underwater, so wear sunscreen whenever you go out in the day.
Dress for the heat: Wear clothes that are in styles and fabrics that will help you keep cool and comfortable, and bring a hat and sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun and keep you cooler. Even such a simple step will help you stay cool in the summer.
Eccentry Holidays wants vacationers and their families to enjoy their summer vacations and reminds them all that with just these few tips they can stay cool while they do so.
Eccentry Holidays wants each and every traveler to have the experience of a lifetime this fall. Although this busy time of year usually means children heading back to school and less time to take off, it's important to find opportunities to take time away from the stress of the day to day. For all those out there who want to take a fall holiday to an exciting vacation destination, look no further than the beautiful beaches of Costa Rica.
There are, of course, plenty of places to relax while spending time in this country. But this vacation shouldn't be merely spent at the beach. There are also a lot of other gorgeous natural sights that every traveler should take time to visit. And for those who are looking for a twist on the normal, be sure to stop by one of the most exciting sights to see: the Arenal Volcano.
This massive world wonder stands more than 5,000 feet above the ground, and is known to be one of the world's most active volcanoes. In fact, admirers used to travel to the base to catch the sight of the glowing rocks rolling by. The volcano hasn't had any activity since 2010, but travelers can still head to the Arenal Observatory Lodge for a tour. This offers the ideal viewing spot along the northern side of the volcano, and tours start off at very affordable prices. Eccentry Holidays knows that this site and the many others available in Costa Rica will make your next vacation experience perfect.
We often look straight to road tripping or flying when it comes to making way to our destinations. But what you might not realize is that there's a way to travel while being able to do all sorts of activities! Cruises are a great way to visit many destinations, especially if you're a traveler who enjoys the ocean shares Eccentry Holidays. Though they can be pretty pricey, cruises are a great way to travel because of just how much they have to offer.
Eccentry Holidays knows that while visiting any area, one of the most exciting things about exploring a new destination is getting to try the delicious food offered in the area. Seattle is home to many delicious restaurants, and one of the best places to find a variety of different foods is the Pike Place Market.
Although known as the original Farmer's Market, there is much more to this famous place. This area is full of many different delicious restaurants that offer both casual and fine dining, including everything from deli food and sandwiches, all the way to more exquisite international cuisine.
For those who are looking for an interesting twist on traditional Korean cuisine, Chan Seattle offers modern Korean fusion that will both tempt and treat any diner. Classic dishes prepared with western cooking techniques offer a unique perspective, so be sure to try some of the menu's favorites like fried oysters with kimchi tartar sauce, the spicy pork sliders or the popular tuna tartare.
For those who prefer to stick to the more traditional, stop by DeLaurenti Specialty Food and Wine. Since opening up in 1946, this spot has provided some of the most hard-to-find ingredients from around the world, including over 200 different kinds of cheeses, 1800 different kinds of wine along with a full café and espresso bar.
In fact, the Pike Place Market prides themselves that many of the industry's rising and established chefs have either started out or choose to continue their careers at the Market. Of course, this gives them easy access to the freshest ingredients to include in their seasonal menus. Eccentry Holidays knows no mouth will be disappointed by a visit to any restaurant found in Pike Place Market.
Eccentry Holidays members mention that the global city of Los Angeles is commonly known as L.A. and is nicknamed the City of Angels and is world famous for the movie district of Hollywood. With so much to see and visit there is always something to do and see.
Stroll along Venice Beach the home of eccentric and bohemian lifestyles in its skateboarders, body builders and radical pamphleteers to name a few. Eccentry Holidays states that no visit would be complete without a tour of the celebrity homes in Hollywood and Beverley Hills, where star spotting is an exciting part of the trip. And take a walk to the Grauman's Chinese Theatre to spot your favorite star's hand or foot prints among the 2,400 impressions in the pink terrazzo.
Window shop on the famous Rodeo Drive and glimpse the lavish high-end designer clothing stores or walk along the $200-million European cobbled walkway at Two Rodeo. Enjoy the fantastic art collection in the Getty Center with paintings from the Renaissance through to modern day. The other tourist spots to visit according to Eccentry Holidays include the multi-purpose Huntingdon Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens complex. Where there is an old English Shakespeare garden and a desert garden among other attractions. The Japanese American National Museum has an extensive collection and exhibits related to the history of Japanese Americans. Or explore the fascinating Museum of Jurassic Technology, which is full of over 30 unusual exhibits and objects from the scientific, historic and artistic worlds.
Have a fun day at Disneyland full of Disney favorites for young and old alike and explore the many themed areas, such as Frontierland, New Orleans Square or Mickey's Toontown. There is also a choice of theaters such as the Bob Baker Marionette Theater and the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, which is a comedy club, hosting three or four performances every night remind the members of Eccentry Holidays.
Eccentry Holidays, a leader in luxury travel provisions, knows that as summer comes to a close, many vacationers out there are looking for a destination to beat the sweltering heat and end their favorite season with a bang, or have started thinking what might be fun for fall. This year, travelers should take the time to explore the east coast like never before, on the island of Nantucket. Once the whaling capital of the world, this spot is now home to beautiful beaches on sailboat dotted harbors, picturesque homes and quaint shops lined on cobblestone streets. Here are 3 of our top reasons to visit Nantucket this fall.
1. Shopping: This area is full of unique standalone stores, like Current Vintage, which serves as a hot shopping spot that also doubles as a wine shop. Nantucket Loom offers hand-woven throws that friends and family will be dying to receive as a souvenir of your time spent there, and at Milly & Grace, score some sweet accessories, clothing or perhaps even some new décor for your home.
2. Seafood: This spot is home to some of the freshest seafood around, and many restaurants find surprising new ways to cook up their creations. Waterfront Oyster bar Cru offers diners sophisticated spins on classic dishes, like the house-favorite fish, fluke, which is served up with browned butter and toasted hazelnuts to top it off. For dessert? Pick up something sweet like chocolate covered fruit at Sweet Inspirations.
3. Last but not least, spend time sunning at the beach, or perhaps take a day trip to nearby Cape Cod. Nantucket is home to many opportunities for fun.
Eccentry Holidays knows that these reasons and more will convince any traveler to try out Nantucket for a fall, or even their end-of-summer vacation. For more information about this and other great travel destinations, please visit www.eccentryholidays.com

Northern Pass developers say they have new route
Developers of the Northern Pass hydroelectric project said on Monday that they have identified a new route for the 1,200-megawatt transmission lines through the North Country, but did not provide further details.
In an announcement posted as a "project update" on the Northern Pass website, spokesmen for Northeast Utilities said, "We are in the process of finalizing this new proposal and will soon be prepared to announce its specific details. This proposal was created in consideration of concerns raised regarding potential view impacts and private property issues."
The new route will be submitted to the New Hampshire Site Evaluation Commission for consideration and review.
The web post also states, "In response to the feedback we received, we have spent the past year identifying routing options that would locate the line on land that we own or that has easements we have obtained from willing sellers, and positions the line in a manner that reduces potential view impacts as much as possible."

A perfect fall yarn, each 100-gram skein of Swans Island's Bulky is naturally dyed.
