Lately Gobert has been reacting to comments made by Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal and pundit Skip Bayless.Kristin Murphy, Deseret News This article was first published as the Jazz Insiders newsletter. Sign up to receive the newsletter in your inbox each Friday.What has the Utah Jazz’s three-time DPOY center been up to in the early days of this offseason? Well, he dyed his hair green — a move that I fully endorse (green is my favorite color) — he spent a few days trading virtual jabs with Shaquille O’Neal and then topped...
Unless your move is predicated on a job relocation or your spinster great aunt left you her estate in upstate New York, the decision to sell your house and move to another home is usually quite stressful, full of the unknown and subject to some risk. If you are like most of us homeowners here in California, the increases in home values likely have not passed you by. You’ve gotten the unsolicited plea, in the form of a letter or a flyer, to sell your house to a well-qualified family desperately hoping to move into your neighborhood. Or you’ve seen a Zestimate pop up on your social media feed with a staggering value that plants that seed of “why wouldn’t...
By Nigel Vann One of the greatest regrets I’ve heard from parents is that they didn’t spend enough time with their children when they were younger. Or that when they are with their young children now, they’re too tired to do anything creative. Questions that dads have asked include: “I’ve forgotten how to ‘play’—is this bad for my kids?” “Do we have to be ‘on’ and fully engaged at all times while spending time with our children?” “What exactly should we do with them?” Questions like these can make the reality of caring for our kids feel daunting and stressful, so I thought it might be helpful to share some resources and ideas to keep in mind if you find...

I even planned to take a saw to it for fun.But the couch is coming with me, to its new corner inside my new home, a two-bedroom condo a few miles from the kids and my soon-to-be ex-wife. You see, my disgust for the couch is equaled only by my children’s love of its tattered...
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is intended to be a companion game to developer Rabbit & Bear’s upcoming JRPG, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, which in itself is a spiritual successor to the popular Suikoden franchise, whose history stretches back as far as the original Sony PlayStation. Its first two instalments, Suikoden I and Suikoden II, enjoyed positive reviews and initially-slow but ultimately steady sales on Sony’s fledgling console. Even my younger brothers and I played them back in the day, as there were few options on PlayStation for epic, 2D JRPGs on the platform in the early going. I especially remember being drawn to the first game in particular, thanks to its massive cast of 108 legendary heroes (based on Water Margin,...
