Grilling: Determine the doneness of a steak

According to Men’s Health, you can gauge how done your steaks are by comparing the elasticity of the steak to the way the meaty part of your thumb feels as it progressively flexes.

It works like this: You touch your thumb to your index, middle, ring, and pinky fingers, and the further you reach, the harder your muscle becomes. Apparently this should match up relatively well with rare, medium rare, medium, and well done steaks as you work your way from index to pinky. With a long summer of barbecuing ahead, this tip should come in very useful.

Do you fear your bags will stage a Day of the Triffids-style attack? Show’em whose boss.

Yes, you conscientiously refuse plastic shopping bags and use enviro bags as often as you can, but still the plastic bags manage to breed like roaches. How many plastic bags do you have stuffed in (naturally!) a large plastic bag somewhere in your home? And do you despair of ever using them up? Fear not! If you have more bags than home furnishings and décor items, you could make a chair, a few throw rugs, cushions, a chandelier, or a Christmas wreath. If you’d like a stylish yet waterproof wardrobe, you could make a cape, a raincoat, or a bra. It would be less utilitarian but equally cool to make your own menagerie: chickens, a zebra, more chickens, sea creatures, and still more chickens.
Or perhaps you’ve got a mental block and can’t think of the bags as anything but bags, so you just make them into better bags. If you’re artistic, you could glue them onto a canvas and paint over them with oils. If you’re very artistic and enterprising, you could become an environmental artist like Nicole Johnson of Tasmania or John Dahlsen of Australia and sell your creations for thousands of dollars. Rest assured whatever you do make will outlive you as a plastic bag takes 100 years to decompose in a landfill. But then you may decide to simply hoard those bags for picking up your doggie’s doo-doo, because their days are probably numbered. San Francisco was the first city in North America to ban the plastic bag, followed by the equally progressive if not quite as fabulous Leaf Rapids, Manitoba, and Ontario, Canada is gearing up to reduce the number of bags we use, and Australia has already made significant progress in that direction.

Weird Tales: The Strange Life of HP Lovecraft

Weird Tales: The Strange Life of HP Lovecraft is a 45-minute BBC radio documentary: "Geoff Ward examines the strange life and terrifying world of the man hailed as America’s greatest horror writer since Poe. During his life, Lovecraft’s work was confined to lurid pulp magazines and he died in penury in 1937. Today, however, his writings are considered modern classics and published in prestigious editions. How did such a weird, wild and ungodly writer get canonised? Among the writers considering his legacy are Neil Gaiman, ST Joshi, Kelly Link, Peter Straub and China Mieville." ST Joshi, a biographer of Lovecraft, has an essay up on The Scriptorium. Wikisource has an extensive collection of his writings, including not only his most famous novels and short stories, but also essays, letters, poetry and legal documents. He is buried in the city of his birth, Providence, Rhode Island, where he does eternal lie, even though someone made an unsuccessful attempt to exhume him in 1997.
