The letter I had to write to my child’s teacher
I was only in the classroom for 45 minutes, but that was long enough to compel me to write a letter to the teacher once I left. I’ll be honest, I have zero qualifications as it relates to child education. My only qualification and reason for being in a kindergarten class that day is my oldest child is a kindergartner. He attends a public school and I was in his classroom as a parent volunteer. His teacher had asked parents to sign up to help during the daily Literacy Center portion of the morning. I was excited to go in, see my son in his classroom, and meet his classmates. When I arrived, the class was sitting on the floor, singing, and drawing the alphabet in the air with their fingers. Mrs.

Get a First Look at the Palm Springs Home Where the Obamas Are Vacationing Right Now
After handing over the keys to the White House to President Trump on Friday, President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama retreated to this stunning 11,000-square-foot stucco home in the Palm Springs area of Southern California for a little time off. Built in the early 1970s by architect Howard Lapham, the home (nicknamed Icha Mayapan, or “exclusive estate”) is a standout example of Mayan Revival design, a popular midcentury style influenced by several Frank Lloyd Wright-designed homes from the 1920s, including the Hollyhock and Ennis houses in Los Angeles. Its current owners, James Costos, ambassador to Spain and Angora under President Obama, and L.A.-based designer Michael S. Smith, who also redecorated the White House while the Obamas lived there, restored the home several years ago.

Tucker Carlson’s First Two Weeks In Primetime Outstrip Megyn Kelly On FNC
Two full weeks into hosting Fox News Channel’s 9 PM timeslot, Tucker Carlson is averaging 3.7 million viewers, 775,000 of them in the 25-54 news demo, topping CNN and MSNBC in both metrics. Tucker Carlson Tonight’s numbers also are 37% higher in viewers and up 50% in the news demo compared with the 2016 average of Megyn Kelly’s The Kelly File in the 9 PM slot. Compared with Kelly’s performance in the same two weeks last year, Carson is up 95% in the demo and 46% in overall audience. That said, the same two weeks last year did not include Donald Trump’s inauguration. But Carlson’s numbers seem to make the point that FNC has managed to transition the timeslot after Kelly’s very dramatic tenure

Judge Rejects Lamar Sally's Request For More Child Support
At this point, everyone, including the legal system, is starting to see the joke behind Lamar Sally and his perpetual scheme to drain his ex-wife Sherri Shepherd of every dime she has. Though Shepherd was already shelling out $4,100 in monthly child support, just last month, Sally was requesting more. He argued that Shepherd was earning more money than when the judgment was first made and in addition to wanting more of it, he was also requesting that Shepherd pay an additional $75,000 in legal fees. But a California judge shut all of that down, throwing out Sally’s request. The judge determined that New Jersey and not California has jurisdiction over the child support case Sally attempted to

US Navy's Ultimate Dream Weapon (That Russia Feared): Merging a Super Battleship and an Aircraft Carrier
In the early 1980s, the Reagan Administration was looking to fund high visibility defense programs. Reagan had been elected on a platform of rebuilding the armed services after the “hollowing out” of the early 1970s. One example was the reactivation of four World War II-era Iowa-class battleships, which started in 1982. Each of the four ships, Iowa, Missouri, New Jersey and Wisconsin was refurbished, their sixteen and five-inch guns brought back online. Each battleship was also equipped with sixteen Harpoon anti-ship missiles, thirtytwo Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles and four Phalanx close-in weapon systems (CIWS) for defense. The four battlewagons were swiftly retired after the end of

Bybee, 46, was arrested Monday and faces several criminal charges, including forgery and attempted murder.

iPhone 7 Plus vs Google Pixel ‘bokeh’ shootout isn’t even close
Even though Apple would prefer to own the smartphone market outright, the existence and popularity of Android has positively impacted the iPhone by forcing Apple to deliver new innovations each and every year. Especially in the camera space, Apple has spent a great deal of time and money ensuring that the camera technology and performance packed into each successive iPhone model is best in class. One of the more compelling camera innovations Apple delivered last year was a new Portrait Mode feature available exclusively on the iPhone 7 Plus. With two 12 megapixel sensors -- one a wide angle lens and the other a telephoto lens -- the iPhone 7 Plus can deliver a "bokeh" effect similar to what one might see on high-end DSLR cameras. Specifically, Portrait Mode uses advanced software that artificially blurs the background of a photo while simultaneously bringing the main subject of a photo into much sharper focus. The end result, as Apple has not been shy to boast, is jaw-dropping. Not to be outdone, Google's flagship Pixel smartphone attempts to deliver a similar effect with a camera feature it calls "lens blur", though the implementation isn't exactly the same as what Apple is doing on the iPhone 7 Plus. In any event, PhoneArena recently decided to pit the iPhone 7 Plus against the Google Pixel in a battle to see which device can offer up the best bokeh effect photos. Not to spoil anything, but the competition isn't even close. While the Pixel can hold its own in some shooting situations, the iPhone 7 Plus delivered more compelling shots most of the time, as evidenced by the photo comparison below. You can check out even more examples of the iPhone 7 Plus vs Google Pixel photo standoff via the link above. Interestingly enough, though perhaps not all that surprising, the iPhone 7 Plus' camera proved to be such a hit with consumers that early demand exceeded even Apple's own optimistic expectations. Unfortunately, rumor has it that the Portrait Mode feature will remain exclusive to the 5.5-inch form factor and won't be available on Apple's 4.7-inch iPhone 8.

Zaza Pachulia welcomes whatever revenge Russell Westbrook has planned for him

During an appearance on San Francisco’s KNBR-AM “Muprh & Mac” show, Pachulia conceded his hard foul and ensuing staredown over a writhing Westbrook was not, as he indicated after last week’s 121-100 win over the Golden State, “a good steal, honestly, because I had the ball in my hands,” but rather revenge for the play before, when he claims the league’s MVP favorite threw an elbow at his face. “First of all, I didn’t mention where everything started, and maybe that’s my fault not to make it clear that I didn’t start that conversation or incident on the court,” said Pachulia.
