The Ultimate Steak Manual - Food The steak is the connoisseur’s meat dish; a subject of debate, delight and potential disappointment. To encourage the first two and avoid the last, we’ve consulted three prime-cut experts and one wine expert to produce a definitive instruction manual so that you, the antlerless man, can prevail in the battle of the beef. Rib-eye The rib-eye is the rising star of the steak world. As people have become more steak-conscious, this fatty, flavoursome cut has shot up the popularity charts. “Our customers’ favourite cut,” says Richard Turner, head chef at London’s famous Hawksmoor steak restaurant. Fat is key to the rib-eye’s appeal. The wine: Wine trader and expert Jaspar Corbett (Jasparcorbett.com) suggests “something fruity with all that fat, such as Australian cabernet sauvignon from the Margaret River area”. Prime rib The language of cuts is a little vague, with variations in names being found from one butcher to the next (thankfully not the case with surgeons). Sirloin Fillet & Chateaubriand

Top 8 Sites to Identify The Owner Of A Phone Number Phone numbers are a little like fingerprints. They can reveal a lot about a person, for example their name or where they live. If you have a missed call from an unknown phone number, you may want to identify the phone number of the person who tried to reach you before you dial that number. There are several free online tools to reverse lookup and identify a North American phone number. Sadly, most seemingly free services will redirect you to a paid option, even if it’s possible to find the information for free elsewhere. 1.

7 Free Online Virus Scan Websites Online free anti virus scan apps have been around for a while, and whilst they’re no match for standalone software they certainly have their uses.

Pins Piling Up? 5 Ways to Keep Your Pinterest Clean & Functional I know what you're thinking. Oh man, aren't there enough things in this world to clean? Now we have to tidy up our Pinterest boards? I'll leave it up to you to decide if it's worth your time, but I spent an hour doing some work on mine the other day, and it felt kind of good. I use Pinterest A LOT these days, so the pins build up quickly. The more current and relevant the boards are, and easy to navigate, the more useful it is as a tool. Here are a few suggestions: Alphabetize Your Boards: If you added up all the minutes you've spent looking for a particular board, you could have written the Great American Novel by now. Add Keywords: Pinterest is all about saving and sharing, so make things easier for everyone by including keywords or tags. Set Up Categories: I now have multiple boards that fall under the same category and are labeled DIY Lighting, DIY Furniture, DIY Art, etc. Purge Unwanted Pins: Certain boards get unwieldy due to the number of pins, and could use a little thinning.
Games « you found me. I make alternate reality games: games that are designed to improve real lives or solve real problems. I’ve been making ARGs since 2001 — and you can watch trailers for a dozen of my favorite ARGs below. Many of my games challenge players to tackle real-world problems at a planetary-scale: hunger, poverty, climate change, or global peace, for example (see: EVOKE, World Without Oil, Superstruct). Others are simply designed to make players happier in their everyday lives — by dancing more, say, or by being kind to strangers (see: Top Secret Dance Off and Cruel 2 B Kind). And some have specific positive health impacts in mind: increasing physical activity, for example, or speeding up recovery from a concussion (see: CryptoZoo and SuperBetter). The biggest influence on my game design is the science of positive psychology. Most of the games I make aren’t like typical videogames that you can play whenever you want.
