Why Park City ski resort is the best in Utah.

Why Park City ski resort is the best in Utah.

Utah claims to have the best snow in the world, so they’re going to have many different Ski resorts, but to me Park City is the best one. From the lovely weather, to great terrain, it can’t get much better. There are many great and unique things about the resort that I want to share. So here’s why Park City ski resort is the best:

Great Terrian

Jupiter Peak, Park City

Park City ski resort has a wide range of terrain, and ways to ride the mountain. From flat easy bunny hills, to steep rocky back-country, it’s for everyone. If you’re a new rider there are plenty of greens, and easy hills to learn on. If you are immediate, Park City’s got you too! There’s also a lot of blues, and easy blacks. Even if you’re a professional, or expert at skiing, there’s very challenging runs at the top of the mountain that you can go down. In addition, for all the free-ride skiers/snowboarders there’s a great terrain park on both sides of the mountain, with huge jumps, half-pipes, and jib sections. Park City’s terrain isn’t the only good thing about it, their lodges and resorts are amazing too!

World-Class Resort

Park City’s actual resort is world class. People come from all over the world to ski and vacation there. Park City being my home mountain, I have met many people from all over the country, and even the world, who came to ski here. The lodges have many restaurants inside them, and great views of the mountain. Being able to chill in one of the resort pools, or hot tubs, is the best feeling after a long day on the slopes. Also the workers and people that you’ll be with and meet in the resort, and on the slopes is another reason why Park City is the best Ski resort.

The people

Happy workers in the lift line

At Park City people are very kind, joyful, and excited. When you go out to the town there’s just a great feel about it! And when you’re on the slopes, people are usually very kind and everyone’s just enjoying themselves and skiing. The teachers for new skiers/snowboarders are also very helpful, and teach you how to correctly go down the mountain. Having a fun atmosphere while going skiing is half the fun. That’s a huge factor as to why this resort is the best. But how convenient is going to Park City?

Convenience

Park City’s mountain town

Park City is located in, well Park City of course. That’s about 38 minutes away from Salt Lake City airport. So it’s really not far if you’re flying in. Park City is a small mountain town, so it’s not gonna be in a major city like Provo, or Salt Lake. There are two sides of the resort: Park City, and Deer Valley. You can go to both sides depending on the pass you are using, but if you are trying to ski to the other side it will take you about 20 to 40-ish minutes if you’re slower. I’ve been to both sides, and they are both great. You can park on either side if you are planning to just ski there. With that being said, it’s a pretty convenient place to go skiing.

All these reasons are showing why Park City Ski resort is the best one in Utah. It was voted as the number one resort in the country, in 2021. The terrain is amazing here, as well as the people and workers. The lodges and resorts you can stay in are outstanding, and very enjoyable. The convenience of where it’s located, and its two sides are also very beneficial. All in all, Park City Ski resort is the best in Utah.

Protect Your Pets

Protect Your Pets

In extreme temperatures, your pets can be seriously harmed if left outside unattended, and you can face criminal charges if you do so. If it’s below freezing, your pet can get frostbite, hypothermia, and even die. In temperatures above ninety degrees, your pet can get sunburnt, dehydrated, and heat stroke which can lead to death.

 

Yes, many pets enjoy going outside for some fresh air, but if left outside for extended periods of time without necessities, great harm can be done. Leaving your dog or cat outside in extreme temperatures can lead to a first-level misdemeanor, and depending on the level of crime, can get you a one thousand dollar fine and two years in prison. 

 

If for some reason you cannot take your pet inside, such as if they are destructive or aren’t able to be potty trained, contact your veterinarian and they can recommend you to a behavioral specialist, which can resolve those problems. Additionally, the recommended parameters for leaving your pet outside are that they have shelter, water, food, and some way to heat up or cool down, depending on the environment. Also, you should make sure that your pet is not neglected, and can have socialization.

 

If your pet has a health condition, always monitor them while outside, due to the fact they are more at risk with extreme temperatures. Brachycephalic dogs are also more at risk because they have a harder time panting to cool down, and get cold quite easily. Short hair, hairless, and smaller pets are also more at risk because they cannot stay warm as easily as larger pets, or pets with double coats. Additionally, pets with double coats are okay in slightly colder temperatures because they can stay warmer, but struggle more with high temperatures because in the heat they can’t as easily cool down.

 

Furthermore, in areas with climates that have all four seasons, you have to be careful of both ends of the temperature spectrum, because of the fact that there are often winters with temperatures below freezing, and often summers with temperatures above ninety degrees.

 

At this point, 23 states and the District of Columbia restrict the time that you can tether your dog. Sometimes this period is as little as thirty minutes. Some states say that you cannot leave your pet outside in freezing temperatures, during storm warnings, and during extreme temperature warnings. Make sure to check what the laws in your state are.

 

It should be noted that pets are just as vulnerable to extreme weather and temperature as we humans are, if not more so due to their smaller size and not being able to care for themselves. Pets rely on their owners for safety and protection, as well as on sustainable food, clean water, and suitable shelter. Many pets are left outside in extreme temperatures, and many of them die or get seriously hurt. Some pets that are left outside in temperatures below freezing and it snows or rains, can get frozen to the ground, get bloody paws, and even more damage. 

 

As of right now, many animal associations can not take action against owners for leaving their pets outside, due to the fact that they have no legal powers. Because of this many pets are left outside in extreme temperatures and many of them die. 

 

Don’t stand by and do nothing! Spread awareness. Tell your family, friends, and neighbors about the dangers of leaving your pets outside. Most importantly, if you see a pet left outside in extreme temperatures, take note of the type of animal, the time, the date, and the exact location. Taking a picture can help as well. Then you should contact your local law enforcement.

Why is Music such an amazing thing in life?

Why is Music such an amazing thing in life?

Music. Music is something that is very diverse, and different in a lot of ways. Down to culture, genre, and many more. Music is something loved by many people all across the world, in millions of different places. Music is something that you can have anywhere you go. When you’re just sitting down, when you’re driving, when you’re traveling. You can even make your own music! Anything that makes noise can be made into music. Banging pans against each other? Music. The tapping noise when you take a step? Music! Anything, and everything that makes noise. If you give it a good rhythm and background noise, they can be made into really fun beats!

 

Culture is also something that makes music a big part of life. People all over the world listen to music, different from the music you might listen to. In America, American music is more popular, while in Mexico, Mexican music may be more popular. That doesn’t mean you can’t listen to music from other countries. Some people like different types of cultural music. The most popular cultural music is English, followed by Spanish, then Korean music. 

 

Lots of people have lots of different music tastes, and that diversity happens a lot with what type of music we listen to. Some people like Rock, some people like Pop, and some people like Jazz. The list of different types of music goes on. Some genres are liked more than others. For example, Country music (ew) is loved by many, and hated by many. It all depends on what we think is good. 

 

That’s why people love music so much. It gives a little bit of spaz to life. 

 

Music is also a good way to help people focus and get things done. While at the same time music is fun to sing and dance too, which is the next focus, music can also help you focus on work and get things done. Some people don’t work well with music because they can get caught up and pay attention to their music more. But for others, music can help them work harder on, for example, homework, chores, and work needed anywhere. For most people, cleaning, working, and doing schoolwork is a chore, so they use music to help make it more fun. It works. Good music is a good way to get your serotonin up and to help you feel in a better mood about doing work.

 

For our last topic: Music is also a fun way to get you hyped, and partying, and happier. People that have been to parties, what’s the main thing that’s usually being played? 

 

Music. Every Time you’re at a party, people are always getting hyped up and dancing. It makes you want to get more hyped and excited when you hear good music you like. When you’re with other people and you all hear a really good song, you want to get into it. You want to dance and sing. Dancing and singing is also a good way to  be hyped. Singing is always fun to do when you’re doing work. It helps you to work a bit better, and helps you to be happier, and like what was said earlier, it gets your serotonin up and running so that you can have a better time.

 

Music will always be the best form of art and entertainment there is. It just makes the world better. People gather together to listen, and meet new people just because of music. Who knew just playing a few notes and singing a few keys could change the world so much?

My Top 10 Albums of All Time

My Top 10 Albums of All Time

I will be listing my top 10 albums of all time, at this current moment. My music taste usually consists of alternative pop, indie pop/rock, rock, and rap. I like almost anything except country music. Now, let’s get with it!

10. THE FUTURE IS DARK by Lil Darkie

I love the story it includes, and how it covers all the topics it mentions. My favorite tracks are: Sippy Cup, Mrs. Potato Head, Cake, and Play Date.

7. Plastic Beach by Gorillaz

I absolutely love the vibe of this album and all the sounds. It’s so atmospheric, and can make you feel like you’re somewhere completely different.

Why Kids Need Screen Time Limits

Why Kids Need Screen Time Limits

Kids, no matter if you hate them or not, can’t be on social media. Social media or Roblox or even any other game is damaging their brains. They can’t get off their screens and it’s turning them into little devils. 

Some people think of kids nowadays as cute little innocent people. Not iPad babies, when a kid is grown up, slacked off and they get whatever they want you as a parent have created the devil. 

Parents are the fault of creating these devils. As a parent you have to set boundaries you can’t just slack off on your kids and give them whatever they want. When you do this you make your kids think the world revolves around them when in reality it doesn’t. That’s how you get iPad babies or 10 year old Sephora girlies. 

This is why kids need limits on screen time and no social media. When you create a screen time you set boundaries as a parent which then doesn’t mess them up. The possibilities are endless. Kids get better sleep, they go outside more, they can get less depressed, and most importantly they don’t turn into little devils. 

So in reality these kids are messed up. Most of the time it’s the parents fault because they are not parenting and they give their kids whatever they wish for and it creates demands. We will see what happens to these kids but it does not look good for them.

How can you be a Swiftie principle without compromising your professionalism or curriculum? Is Mr. Robinson a Swiftie??

A Swiftie is a term used to describe a fan of Taylor Swift, the pop superstar who has dominated the music industry with her catchy songs, personal lyrics, and loyal fan base. Swifties are known for their devotion, enchanted enthusiasm, and support for their idol. They often express their love for Swift on social media, attend her concerts, and buy her merchandise.

But Mr. Robinson, who wishes to remain an ordinary vice principal being a Swiftie is not something he can openly share with our school.

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S

Finally after 6 years of waiting, the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie has now been confirmed to be released on October 27 2023. This movie is rated PG 13” and has some violent, bloody and language content. This movie will be one of Scott Cawthon’s last projects before he retires to spend more time with his family.

Recently fired and desperate for work so that he can keep custody of Abby, Mike agrees to take a position as a night security guard at an abandoned theme restaurant. Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. But Mike soon discovers that nothing at Freddy’s is what it seems. It also shows that mike and Abby Schmidt are actually William Afton’s children, they changed their last names to avoid any questions about what happened in Fred bear’s pizzeria. Scott Cawthon revealed that the plot of the movie will be based around a man named Mike and his connection to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.

 It’s likely that the protagonist is Michael Afton as his father, William Afton, was the murderer of the five children and co-founder of Fazbear Entertainment

We’d seen glimpses of a little girl in teasers for the film, and now the trailer has revealed that she is none other than Abby Schmidt is Mike’s sister, who’s supposed to be sleeping through the night at Freddy Fazbear’s while her father works but instead of doing just that she wonders around the pizzeria meeting the animatronic when Vanessa hit the showtime button which set Bonnie to malfunction after knowing there were people in there home after midnight.

The movie will be at least 1 hour and 50 minutes long but some say it may be 3 hours long. It will also stream exclusively on Peacock on the same date the movie comes out. 

This movie is based on the first FNAF game with violent parts, language, befriending animatronics, and saving the lost souls of children who have forgotten how they died and who they were and are now trapped inside the animatronics.

Filming for Five Nights at Freddy’s began on February 1, 2023, after being delayed by almost two years due to script changes. The movie wrapped on April 3. Three days later, on April 6, 2023, FNAF producer Jason Blum and Scott Cawthon. The film follows Mike (Josh Hutchinson) a troubled young man caring for his 10-year-old sister Abby (Piper Rubin), and haunted by the unsolved disappearance of his younger brother more than a decade before.

Early 2000s Cartoons VS. Now

Early 2000s Cartoons VS. Now

 

By: Aubrey Dean 

 

  When you think of cartoons now, what do you immediately think of? Maybe Paw Patrol, or shows like Teen Titans Go! Or We Bare Bears, The Loud House and things like that. But, what about shows like Spongebob Squarepants (Well, the old seasons) or shows like Fairly Odd Parents, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius? Those shows are so good. 

 

  There are also shows like Dexter’s Laboratory. Or shows like Danny Phantom. Or the old Powerpuff Girls. The remake is just trash.

  The old Powerpuff Girls were so good. They should’ve just stopped after finishing the show. They made a remake, finding out that Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup had a long lost sister called Bliss. It’s really bad! Mojo Jojo isn’t even in the show anymore, neither are the other villains. 

 

    Bliss is supposed to be their long lost sister even though they are creations. 

 

    Another show that is kinda bad now is SpongeBob Squarepants. The show is good, don’t get me wrong. It used to be good. After the 7th season it’s just garbage. The producers are just trying too hard now. They should’ve just stopped after the 7th instead of making more so you can’t catch up on the others without an entirely new season coming out a month later. 

 

  The new seasons like 8-12 are garbage. Like Patrick has his own tv show. They have like five spin off series and like it’s not good. The Spongebob movie where they go to get King Neptune’s crown was the best movie. The one where they get super powers was okay  but if I had a choice to get rid of one of the movies it would be the second one.

 

  Now onto the pros and cons. The pros of the new cartoons are that the graphics are better. Like they have grown but honestly they aren’t the same. 

 

  The cons are, the cartoon companies are running out of ideas. Cartoons from like 1998-2011 were probably way better. Like the producers just had such a wide range of ideas for what they could write a TV series about as of now we have like fifteen different kids cartoons about superheroes or spies. There’s just not a wide variety of show ideas now. Talking animals, already done like 55 times. Super heroes, the basic cartoon idea. It’s just not the same anymore. 

If we just didn’t make a new cartoon series every two months like we do now, we would save options for later instead of wasting them on cartoons that aren’t even that good.

 

Roblox is not a appropriate game for kids

 

Roblox might look like a fun safe game for kids but it really is not. Roblox has content such as sex acts, killing, the idea of murder, nudity and most dangerous. You play Roblox online and can chat with adults trying to get your information, scam you and much more. 

 

The games 

Roblox is a game that has a ton of minnie games in that one game, but some of the games are not appropriate for kids at the age of seven to nine. For example, like i said before there are minnie games, such as shedletsky’s dirty place is not appropriate for young kids at all. Shedletsky’s Dirty Place is a Roblox sex game where Shedletsky tries to do very dirty games with you and the game targets the ages thirteen and below. Kids that have played this game have been reported getting very bad nightmares. Some other roblox games that are not appropriate are, survive the killer, shower simulator, dance clubs and much more . Surviving the killer is one of those games that have extreme violence. Shower simulator falls under a sexual minnie game not appropriate for kids and dance club games are okay but should be taken seriously because if you don’t have any parental control your kid can most likely talk and chat with people all around the world. 

Your avatar

In a game you have to have a charter or yourself but when you are making your avatar you want to be careful because you can put on a body suit that makes you look naked. If parents are going to let their kid play roblox you have to restrict it and make sure you don’t have your credit card hooked up on the device. If you have your credit card hooked up to the device they’re playing on you can lose a lot of money because your kid is buying robux, what makes it worse is to buy robux all you have to do is push a few buttons and boom money, wasted. 

 

Addict 

Like some other games it is super easy for your kid to be stuck on Roblox and only play Roblox for their free time. To put things into perspective the more you’re on Roblox the more your mental health goes way down and they’re not out playing with friends and learning valuable collaboration skills and social skills. For example sometimes my brother has tantrums when he cant play Roblox or when something in his favorite minnie game is gone. When my brother started playing Roblox he was glued onto the screen for hours. 

Kidnappers

A thirteen year old girl was kidnapped from an old man she made friends with on Roblox thinking he was her age. Thankfully she was returned home safely after police found her two days after missing and arrested the man named, Howard graham. Kidnapping is such a real thing that can happen when you are not careful on Roblox {there are also kidnapping minnie games in Roblox where the player has to kidnap innocent people.} 

 

People 

I have already touched this topic a bit in this review but there is more to just talking to people.  When you play with people and talk to them long enough you can be brainwashed and you can be making a friend  that back stabs you or just targets you for really inappropriate things.

 

Mental health 

Mental health is the key for a good, nice future and when your kids’ mental health plumits because of sleep deprivation and horrific Roblox games this just makes their mental health worse. On the other hand when your kid is non stop playing Roblox that can make their mental and physical health worse. When your kids play Roblox all day they can stop wanting to go to school or do school, or hang out with friends unless they’re on Roblox too. 

 

Conclusion

The conclusion of this whole article is of course roblox is bad for kids but like I have said before, roblox is just a dirty game you kids can get addicted to, lose mental health, they can meet very dangerous people and they can play dangerous games with adult content. Sum up this whole thing, roblox is bad and kids probably should not play roblox.

Weezer the Band

By: Aubrey Dean

 

The band Weezer was founded in 1992. The band consists of the members Rivers Coumo (Lead vocals, lead guitar), Patrick Wilson (drums), Brian Bell (rhythm guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), and Scott Shriner (bass, backing vocals)

 

  The first album they ever published was the Blue Album. That came out on May 10, 1994.

 

Blue Album Songs

  • Surf Wax America
  • Only in Dreams
  • No One Else
  • The World has Turned and Left Me Here
  • My Name Is Jonas
  • Say It Ain’t So
  • Buddy Holly
  • Holiday
  • Undone
  • In the Garage

 

The most popular song in the Blue Album is Say It Ain’t So. 

 

Another really popular song by Weezer is Island In the Sun.  Rivers Cuomos has written all the songs they have released. He is also the lead singer. 

Weezer also likes to make covers of songs, including Happy Together, Mr. Blue Skies. They have also made a cover of Africa. Also one of Billie Jean.  

 

  One member of Weezer, ex-member Matt Sharp, was a bassist in the band until he left in 1998. He left because he had a second band called the Rentals. He wanted to work with the Rentals full time so he decided to leave Weezer to pursue that dream. Matt Sharp was in the first two albums Weezer released. The Blue Album and Pinkerton. 

 

One fun fact you may be wondering about is, why is the band Weezer called Weezer in the first place? Well, I in fact have the answer to that. The reason the band is called Weezer is because it was a nickname the main member Rivers Cuomo got from kids at school because he got bullied for having asthma. Also, a name River Cuomos got from his biological father, so they took that name and made it the band name. 

 

  Another fun fact about the band is their first opening gig was opening for Keanu Reeves vanity band. The band was formed on Valentines day, 1992. The reason the album is called the Blue Album is because it was Cuomo’s favorite color growing up. 

 

  Rivers Cuomo also graduated from Harvard with a bachelor’s degree. They also got some of their inspiration from the Beatles. The era Weezer is in is the mid 90s is what it is classified as. The second most popular song by Weezer is Islands In the Sun. Weezer has been reported to have 15 studio albums, two compilation albums, 1 video album, nine extended plays, 37 singles and 40 music videos.
