The Jacksonville Jaguars fired head coach Urban Meyer, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He finishes his tenure with the franchise with a record of 2-11 and spent not even a full season with the franchise. Meyer signed a five-year deal with the franchise last year, and did not last through his first, tumultuous season in the NFL.
“After deliberation over many weeks and a thorough analysis of the entirety of Urban’s tenure with our team, I am bitterly disappointed to arrive at the conclusion that an immediate change is imperative for everyone,” said owner Shad Khan. “In the spirit of disclosure and recharging our players, staff and fan base, I will not comment further until some point following the conclusion of the NFL season.”
French Onion Soup Rice is a buttery, casserole-like side dish, with Beef Consommé, French Onion Soup, white rice and butter that’s a creamy, holiday favorite!
If you love casseroles and casserole-like dishes, such as Chicken Casserole, but are looking for something a little more unusual to bring to your next potluck, then you should make a pan of French Onion Soup Rice. It’s one of the most delicious creamy rice dishes, and you can make it big enough for a crowd.
French Onion Soup Rice
If you’ve got a few cans of French onion soup laying around and want to try a delicious new oven rice recipe, then you should definitely break out a casserole dish and make some French Onion Soup Rice. There are a few Campbell’s French onion soup recipes floating around out there, but this version is one of my all time favorites, and is sure to become a family favorite of yours as well. This onion rice recipe takes almost no prep and is completely baked through in about an hour, which is a great cook time for a casserole. One of the best things about this butter rice recipe is that you end up with soft, flavorful rice without having to use a rice cooker, crock pot, instant pot, or stove top. Cooking rice in the oven also takes a lot of the guess work out of it and won’t leave you with hard, chewy grains.

A second member of the University of Pennsylvania’s swim team has reportedly come forward to speak about the calamitous effect teammate Lia Thomas, a biological man, has had on the team while Thomas smashes women’s records in competitions and leaves the women far behind. The teammate told Outkick that Thomas bragged after winning the 200 freestyle at the University of Akron Zippy Invitational, “That was so easy, I was cruising,” and after winning the 500 freestyle but disappointed with the time, boasted, “At least I’m still No. 1 in the country” in front of teammates.
Trans Swimmer Lia Thomas
In November, Thomas smashed the record in the 200 free time and the second-fastest 500 free time, with both times breaking Penn program records. Over the weekend, Thomas won the 1650 free by a whopping 38 seconds, the 500 free by 12 seconds, and the 200 free by seven seconds.
“Well, obviously she’s No. 1 in the country because she’s at a clear physical advantage after having gone through male puberty and getting to train with testosterone for years. Of course you’re No. 1 in the country when you’re beating a bunch of females. That’s not something to brag about,” the teammate commented.
The teammate said her fellow women teammates were crying on the Akron pool deck because they knew they had no chance of winning with Thomas competing. She said, “They feel so discouraged because no matter how much work they put in it, they’re going to lose. Usually, they can get behind the blocks and know they out-trained all their competitors and they’re going to win and give it all they’ve got. Now they’re having to go behind the blocks knowing no matter what, they do not have the chance to win. I think that it’s really getting to everyone.”
Log4Shell is the name given to a critical zero-day vulnerability that surfaced last Thursday when it was exploited in the wild in remote-code compromises against Minecraft servers. The source of the vulnerability was Log4J, a logging utility used by thousands if not millions of apps, including those used inside just about every enterprise on the planet. The Minecraft servers were the proverbial canary in the coal mine.
A server who received a $4,400 tip by a “$100 dinner club” was promptly fired by her Arkansas restaurant, one of her customers said.
OVEN & TAP , 215 S. MAIN ST., BENTONVILLE, AR 72712, 479.268.5884
The concept of the club was for each diner to leave a $100 tip as a way to pay it forward. Grant Wise, whose company hosted a real estate conference in Arkansas, orchestrated the act as he and others dined at Oven and Tap in Bentonville.
“We knew servers really hit hard through COVID and it was something that (a friend) had come up with to help give back,” Wise told KFSM.
Wise told KNWA he called the restaurant before they dined to confirm its tipping policy. One of their two servers, Ryan Brandt, was in tears when Wise informed her of their act after their meal.
Diners in Wise’s group, as well as some who contributed money online, all chipped in money to tip a total of $4,400.
Rebecca Soto, who filmed the interaction between Wise and Brandt, said it was “wonderful” to give back.
Regular readers of this blog will know that I’ve been sharing recipes for years and years now. For some time I have been making my own laundry detergent. I wanted to share this recipe today because it works very, very well and saves our household a tremendous amount of money every year.
Ingredients for Laundry Powder:
3 (5.5 oz) bars Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar – 3 x $0.97 = $2.91 * 1 (65 oz) box Borax Detergent Booster – $4.47 1 (55 oz) box A&H Super Washing Soda – $4.12 2 (8 oz) boxes A&H Baking Soda – 2 x $0.67 = $1.34 ** 2 (3 lb) boxes OxiClean Free (No Dyes or Perfumes) – 2 x $6.72 = $13.44 *** 1 (21 oz) bottles Purex Crystals Fragrance Booster (Optional) – $3.97 ****
Total: $30.25 (6 to 8 months supply)
Notes: * Zote laundry bar or Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castille can be substituted quite easily ** Original recipe was 2 cups 2 x 8oz is close enough *** Quite often we will use Dollar Tree’s LA’s Totally Awesome **** Optional but sometimes my shirts smell a little funny without the fragrance
Step 1 – Make Powdered Detergent First, you’ll break down the bars of Fels-Naptha into fine pellets of laundry soap. The pieces need to be small enough that they will dissolve readily in your washing machine.
I like to do this by chopping the Fels-Naptha bars into big chunks, then blending them in my Blendtec along with a scoop of OxiClean. (The OxiClean just helps keep the laundry soap pieces from sticking to each other too much.)
If you don’t have a high-powered blender, you can use your food processor or even a cheese grater to break up the soap. (Grating soap by hand is quite the workout, but it gets the job done!) Recently I have been buying Zote Soap Flakes to make assembly easier. (17.6oz – $3.00)
Step 2 – Mix The Ingredients Next, you’ll combine all the detergent ingredients. In my experience, the easiest way to do this is to use a couple of trash bags!
Pour the laundry soap pellets, borax, washing soda, baking soda, OxiClean, and Purex Crystals (if using) into one trash bag.
Tie the trash bag shut, then place the tied bag into another trash bag. Tie off the second bag, then push, tumble, and roll the bags around for a few minutes to mix all the ingredients.
Step 3 – Transfer To A Container When you’re done mixing, just cut a hole in the corner of both bags and pour the detergent into a big jar or container for storage.
If you live in a humid area, make sure to choose an airtight container so that your detergent stays dry! You can also toss a few silica gel packets into the detergent to help absorb any moisture.
How Much Detergent Should I Use? For a standard wash load, use 2 tablespoons of homemade laundry detergent. For large or heavily soiled loads, use 2 1/2 tablespoons. For small loads, use 1 1/2 tablespoons. This detergent works perfectly in any washing machine, including high-efficiency machines! (Bonus HE Tip: Skip the dispenser and toss the detergent right into the washer!)
Homemade Laundry Soap – Trial Size Version 1 bar grated Fels Naptha soap 3 cups Borax 2 cups washing soda 3/4 cup baking soda 4 1/2 cups oxygen bleach 1 cup (heaping) fabric softener crystals – store-bought or Homemade (optional)
The Pirate Bay quietly turned 18 this year. The site survived several shutdown attempts and remains online. Nonetheless, one of the lawyers who fought The Pirate Bay in court says that the lawsuits and raids were worth it. Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde disagrees and believes that the torrent site can’t be stopped by rightsholders.
This year, The Pirate Bay officially reached adulthood, which is quite an achievement considering the immense legal pressure it has faced over the years.
The site was launched in 2003 under the wings of the now-disbanded pro-culture organization “Piratbyrån”, which is Swedish for Bureau of Piracy.
The group was formed by political activists and hackers in the same year. By then, many of the members had already launched other web projects challenging political, moral, and power structures. The Pirate Bay fitted this category and became a synonym for file-sharing in the following years.
The site remains online today but it’s not without scars. Swedish police tried to shut the site down twice, raiding dozens of servers. This ultimate goal failed but local authorities did prosecute the site’s three co-founders, who all served time in prison for their involvement.
This week the Swedish news site M3 ran a piece on TPB, bringing together some key players from the Pirate Bay trial. On one side there’s entertainment industry lawyer Monique Wadsted, who represented Hollywood, and Pirate Bay co-founder Peter Sunde chimed in as well.
