1/4 teaspoon finely grated orange zest |
1 tablespoon orange juice |
Directions |
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. |
Spread the bread cubes out on a baking sheet and bake until toasted and golden, tossing halfway through, about 15 minutes. Let cool. |
Whisk together 1 cup of the evaporated milk with the 2-percent milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, nutmeg, a pinch of salt and eggs in a large bowl. Add the cooled bread cubes and wild rice. Toss to combine and set aside until the bread soaks up most of the liquid, about 30 minutes. |
Stir the blueberries into the mixture and transfer to a lightly oiled 2-quart baking dish. Top with the almonds and bake until the bread pudding is set and golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove and let rest for a few minutes. |
Meanwhile, add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar to a small saucepan. Swirl over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and turns amber, about 7 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup evaporated milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, orange zest, orange juice and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Drizzle the caramel sauce over bread pudding. Serve warm or at room temperature. |

HOUSTON – We have a bizarre story that happened overnight in Katy. One man says he had to grab a sword in a duel with his girlfriend’s estranged husband. |
“Swords and flower pots; it sounds nuts, he is psycho,” said Eugene Thompson, the homeowner’s boyfriend. |
According to deputies with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, Thompson lives at a home with his girlfriend and said Saturday night they got into an argument. That’s when his girlfriend called her estranged husband, who stopped by the house around 10 p.m. |
“It’s late, I get up and look and he is here, and I am like go away, you don’t live here anymore,” said Thompson. |
Thompson’s girlfriend let the man inside. Thompson said he ran to the back bedroom and told the man to leave the house, but he refused and started charging at him. That’s when Thompson says he grabbed his replica master sword from ‘The Legend of Zelda.’ |
“I heard him heading to the bedroom where I was, so I jumped in the closet and I grabbed one of my replica swords, and I pulled it out and stood at the doorway, and he was coming down the hallway at me while I was yelling, ‘Go away, you don’t live here’ and he just walked right into the point of the sword, I don’t know if he thought it was a toy,” said Thompson. |
Thompson told Local 2 he managed to get the man out of the house and locked the door. But he said the man wouldn’t give up and broke through the front door and ran back into the house. |
Deputies said the two men fought over the sword and in the scuffle, the estranged husband was stabbed — once in the chest and once in the leg. Thompson said the man grabbed a flower pot from outside and smashed it over his head. |
“It dinged me on the head and all of a sudden I had blood pouring down my face,” said Thompson. |
Deputies arrived and took the estranged husband to Memorial Hermann Hospital in serious condition. |
Thompson was transported to another hospital to get the gash in his head stitched up. Thompson said now he’s trying to figure out what to do. |
“I am just trying to figure out what to do from here. I have to find a new place to live,” said Thompson. |
Thompson’s girlfriend was not injured in the fight. |
Police report no new word on the location of the Ocarina of Time as a result of the incident as all parties clamed to have no knowledge of its location. |
Viral Videos: The Piano Guys’ epic performance of ‘Let It Go’ from ‘Frozen’ |
It’s no secret that Impish is a fan of the fabulously talented Piano Guys. I know many of you are too, because you love it when I’ve posted their incredible videos! Here is the latest one from the duo: an amazing cover of the mega-hit “Let It Go” from “Frozen.” |

I had a Parting Shot for this week 90% completed and saved it just prior to shutting down Saturday. Sunday when I opened this issue to continue working I got a typically Microsoft cryptic message about how there had been a problem with the program shutting down and did I wish to recover the file. When ‘recovered’ the Parting Shot in its entirety was missing including the Banner which by the time I closed down had been saved 3 or 4 times being made several days earlier. |
Subsequent scans for Virus, Malware, Hardware & Software issues all turned up negative. Now, I’m not making a claim either way mind you, but I do find it highly interesting that the lost Parting Shot was an update of recent court decisions on the issues of Personal privacy with regard to your electronic devices and your legal expectations. |
Instead of attempting to recreate the significant amount of time that went into writing the Parting Shot to that point here is something that will make violating your password protected electronic devices privacy a little more difficult. At the same time this will graphically demonstrate why I harp so much on using good passwords and all possible characters in creating one |
A jazzy password-strength tester |
Don’t leave all your data and sensitive information vulnerable with a weak password. There’s too much at stake! |
Test the strength of your passwords at How Secure Is My Password? Just enter your password and the site will tell you how long it would take to crack it. |
The site will tell you if you’ve picked a common password (such as “password” or “abc123″), along with a few tips on how to make it stronger, such as adding a number or symbol. |
The site doesn’t store any information or require a login, so you don’t worry about compromising your security. If you want to be extra certain not to give your password away, just enter a password with a similar length and number of symbols. |
https://howsecureismypassword.net/ |
Here’s an example of how this site can help you- I made one simple change in my test password, without significantly altering the password. The net effect of the change made the password 1 character longer and caused it to include several symbols and/or special characters. The result was my password went from being crackable in 3 days, to it requiring more than 5 years! |
I should point out that the test password I used which is, for the purposes of this test, essentially identical to mine in all aspects. When one goes to a new site to sign up or when one needs to reset a password often there is a little ‘strength meter’ in the form of a bar next to the place you enter your password which is supposed to show you how strong your password is. My current password always maxed this meter out so to say this all came as a bit of a revelation to me would be more than accurate. I thought I was following all the rules and had a fairly strong password. Needless to say over the course of the next week I’ll be upgrading my password at all the sites I use to follow what I have just learned. |
How strong is your password? In today’s environment of the Government and Law Enforcement taking liberties with your privacy are you to operating under a false sense of security? |

I believe in being the kind of man who, when my feet touch the floor in the morn', causes the Devil to say "BUGGER ME! HIMSELF IS UP!" ======== I'm a White Married Heterosexual who fervently believes in the war(s) we are fighting, the Second Amendment which I plan on defending with my last breath and my last round of ammunition as well as Arizona's stringent law on Immigration and the need for the border wall. I'm a right of center Con-centrist with Tea Party & Republican sympathies who drives an SUV. I am a Life Time Member of the NRA, a Charter Member of the Patriots' Border Alliance and North American Hunters Association. If there is a season for it and I can shoot one I'll eat it and proudly wear its fur. I believe PETA exists solely to be a forum for Gays, Vegetarians, Hollywood snobbery to stupid to get into politics and Soybean Growers. The ACLU stopped protecting our civil liberties sometime after the 1960s and now serves its own bigoted headline grabbing agenda much in the same way as the Southern Poverty Law Center. I am ecstatic that WE the PEOPLE finally got mad enough to rise up and take back the Government from WE the ENTITLED and reverently wish the Liberals would just get over the loss and quit whining/protesting all the time. After all they're just reaping what they've sown. I am Pro-choice both when it comes to the issue of abortion AND school prayer. I believe in a government for the people, by the people which represents and does the people's will. Therefore I an Pro States rights and mandatory term limits but against special interest group campaign contributions and soft money. I think that sports teams who allow their players to sit or take a knee during the National Anthem should be boycotted until the message is received that this is not acceptable behavior for role models for children. I believe Congressional salaries should be voted on bi-annually by the people they represent and not by themselves. I think Congress should be subject to every law they pass on the populace including any regarding Social Security or Healthcare. Speaking of the Healthcare bill (or con job as I see it) I hope Trump will overturn it and set things back to normal. I oppose the building of an Mosque or ANY Islamic center at or within a 10 mile radius of Ground Zero in New York. I will fight those in favor of this until hell freezes over and then I will continue to fight it hand to hand on the ice. Further I think the ban on immigrants from certain nations known to harbor and promote terrorism is a justified measure, at least until we can come up with better methods of vetting and tracking those non citizens we allow in the country. We did not inflict this measure on them those who refuse to point out, denounce or fight radical religious terrorism brought this upon themselves.<eot>I have been told to go to the Shopping District Smith and sometimes the Unicorn Way Smith but cannot find him in either place.

By : rich 18 April 2004 |
Well, the boys want a basketball hoop. Another great example of how trying a sport like B-ball creates a lifelong interest. Anyway, we don't have room for a full hoop (although I tried lobbying for that!). Instead, a portable one seems like the ticket, but which one to buy? |
* "Gart Sports Guide":http://www.gartsports.com/info/index.jsp?categoryId=222829&backTo=686679&savePath=711651.726616&infoType=infosport. Gart is a big retailer in our area. They have a pretty good guide to what to look for. Main things are to look for something portable. Looks like we'll want something with a rectangular backboard (easier shots) and that is adjustable. |
* "Garts Portable Backboard":http://www.gartsports.com/family/index.jsp?filter=yes&fCat=726616&categoryId=726616&cp=711651.&fgender=&fbrandid=&fpricesort=priceAscending. They have a huge selection online. Not super pratical as shipping charges are $40-100. |
* "Lifetime 1594 Acrylic 42 inch":http://www.gartsports.com/product/index.jsp?productId=686679&cp=711651..726616&fCat=726616&fpricesort=priceAscending&filter=yes&parentPage=family. This seems to be the least expensive portable that has adjustment. Also a clear acrylic hoop as well. $230. |
* "Lifetime 71552 44 inch":http://www.gartsports.com/product/index.jsp?productId=966017&cp=711651..726616&fCat=726616&fpricesort=priceAscending&filter=yes&parentPage=family. This is also $230, but is a fan shaped backboard. The adjustment is a nicer counterbalanced one so you don't need a broom to adjust. |
* "Lifetime 42531 44 inch acrylic":http://www.gartsports.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1025134&cp=711651..726616&fCat=726616&filter=yes&fpricesort=priceAscending&page=2&pageBucket=0&parentPage=family. This one is $250, but has a slam-it rim so that it breaks instead of the backboard. |
As a quick comparison, google search for portable basketball system or portable basketball hoop got me: |
* "Hit Run Score":http://www.hitrunscore.com/67748-sure-shot-portable-basketball-systems.html. They sell a Sure Shot 67749 for $225 with $100 shipping. It is 48″ backboard, so bigger, High adjusts as well. |
* "Sports Unlimited Inc":http://www.sportsunlimitedinc.com/lifetimeport.html. They have a Lifetime 71935 for $280. Also 44 inch. Quikclift tile and a 3.5″ pole plus a breakaway rim, so comparable to the Lifetime 71552 |

i was in same boat, thinking portable was ticket. But look around neighborhood and see how many portables are actually being used. Most portables dont play well and can even be dangerous, especially on windy days. I opted to make room and got a Goalrilla set. Goalrilla comes in all price ranges and is easy to install. You make a permanent installation of a concrete base and the goal bolts to the base so you can theoretically at least take it with you if you move. But they make the best set for the price and it can be adjusted low for the little guys. my 3 boys love it. best 900.00 i spent |

Great point. I would have loved to have gotten a permament one, but there isn't any space for it. And the WAF (wife acceptance factor) was a big one. |
The portable one is in no way as good as permanent, so I'get a permanent if you can, but the portable one works well.<eot>From January 1st, 2020, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will enforce a new 0.5% global sulphur cap on fuel oil. They have also announced a 50% reduction in green-house gas emissions from ships by 2050. This new cap is in response to growing environmental concerns, specifically involving the emissions generated by the shipping industry. |
The new cap was originally announced in October 2016 at a session of the IMO's Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC). |
Regions that have existing Emission Control Areas (ECA) include the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, North American, and the US Caribbean. |
New regulation will most likely change the maritime industry while simultaneously posing a significant challenge to ship owners. However, it seems that concerns over fuel shortage with respect to Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (LSFO) are largely unfounded. |
"All major bunkering ports report that they are able to match demand (for LFSO)," said Tim Huxley, Chairman of Mandarin Shippingsaid. "It is a potential shortage of Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) which is raising concerns." |
Huxley also assures that these shortages will occur in some of the small bunkering ports around the globe. There should not be any significant problems at major ports. |
Another major issue is a concern that ship engines and machinery will be adversely affected by the lower viscosity of the lighter fuel oil. This could mean serious leaks occurring in the engine room. |
The industry has moved to deal with this potential issue by working with lubricant oil suppliers to manage the switch.<eot>Baroness Warnock backs human cloning | Daily Mail Online |
Baroness Warnock backs human cloning |
Baroness Warnock, a leading philosopher credited with laying the foundations for Britain's laws governing human fertilisation and embryology, today backed the cloning of babies for infertile couples. |
Lady Mary Warnock said she believed that in the future there should be no major ethical obstacles to human reproductive cloning for strictly medical reasons provided it could be proven safe. |
She chaired a committee in 1984 which reported on the ethics of test-tube babies and embryo research and has now written a new book on the ethics of reproduction called Making Babies. |
Prior to its publication, in an interview with the Independent, she said: "It is perhaps a pity that Britain has joined the rest of Europe in an absolute ban on such cloning. |
If it cloning becomes a procedure which is, relatively speaking, safe then it seems to me there needs to be a lot of thought before it is absolutely ruled out. |
"I can envisage a time, not in the foreseeable future but one day, when it became safe or relatively safe to produce human clones... and when it might be a remedy for infertility which some people might think worth exploring." |
Lady Warnock criticised the way the Government introduced an emergency bill in November banning cloning, saying that irrational fears of the worst-case scenario prevented it being seen as a potential remedy for couples who wanted to have children. |
She said: "I think fears about cloning are not the fears that it would be terrible if some individual couple had a cloned baby, so much as a kind of political fear which is expressed in the mythology of Brave New World."<eot>Kalamazoo Valley Community College naval science major |
